Journeyman (2007–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Double Down - full transcript
Dan and Livia have to repair history to preserve Dan and Katie's future together.
Previously on journeyman:
Katie says you disappeared for
a couple days and didn't know it.
- Something like that.
- And you went back in time?
They found the plane in
the water bou not yr body.
- Did you see livia?
- Yes, in fact I did.
- Who's the lucky woman who got my fianc?
- You don't know?
- Livia knows what you do
- Livia does what I do..
You married jack's katie?
It's interesting that whatever he's
doing takes him right back to her
I can't control when I
go,but I seem to the present
when I finish some chapter in the
lives of the people that I'm tracking.
et me buy your jacket.
- You can take it.
- You can take mine.
What the hell's going on?
We have a problem,and it's
serious and it's personal.
Right now,I just need
you to trust me,okay?
- Where did you get all that?
- It's dylan mccleen'S.
- The hijacker?
- Does this mean we're rich?
- Not exactly.This is not real.
- Not real?
- No,it's like play money.
- Can I play with it?
No.
Jail's no place for someone like you.
But if you're willing to work
with me,I'll cut you a deal.
I'll sell this to you for...
- 500 bucks.
- No,thanks.
Seriously?
Okay.
I vote we break for food.
What are you in the mood for?
Pizza with pepperoni.
I think that can be arranged...
with a quick trip to the atm.
Let's use monopoly money.
Yeah,I don't think the pizza guy would
appreciate being tipped with pink dollars.
Not that,dad's monopoly money.
What?!
Here it is.
- cool,huh?
- Whoa.
Wait,wh...
where did this come from?
Dad brought it home.
- When?
- I don't know.
Can we order pizza with it?
Yeah,I don't think that's a good idea...
without asking your parents.
Hey,how about you go
check out the kitchen
and see if we got any of that
chili left over from sunday?
Chili dogs?
Dude,food of the gods.
- Awesome.
- Awesome.
You know,I'm just saying.
That's the second year in a row
they've sat me next to irwin.
What is the deal?Does he
always smell like that?
Yeah.Kind of an exotic blend
of bengay and tuna fish?
Maybe somebody needs to tell him.
Yeah,like,an intervention?Whoa.
- Hey.
- Yeah.Do you have the...
- what?what?What's wrong?
- Oh,God...
I just wanted to say thank
you for coming with me tonight.
I couldn't have faced another boring
correspondents' dinner without you.
Well,the next time I wanna
drag you to the opera,
- remember: You owe me one.
- All right.
You realize this is the closest thing
we've had to a date in almost two months?
It doesn't have to end now.
- Oh,hey.Sorry.
- Hi,yeah,we were just...
- On our way in.
- oh,cool.
Well,I hate to babysit and
run,but I gotta get to work.
- Oh,is everything okay?
- Yeah,it's just the usual.
- Dad!
- Hey,buddy.
Thanks for looking after him.
- You saved a life.
- It's not a problem.He's the greatest.
All right,have a good night.
- Good night.
- Uh-huh.
- You guys have fun?
- Yup.
But uncle jack's not
very good at board games.
Never was,even when he was little.
At least he doesn't throw the
board across the room anymore.
- did you eat some dinner?
- Yup.
Mmm,oh,I see,chili dogs.
Why don't you go put on your pjs,bud.
Okay.
You want some help?
- Yeah,you get the recycling.
- Sure.
So,listen,I've been thinking
about our current situation.
That doesn't sound too good.
No,I mean...
just given how unpredictable
everything's been.
I thought,uh,it'd be a good
idea for me to go back to work.
Now or at some point down the line?
Soon.
To say things were a
little crazy lately...
- would be an understatement.
- Yeah.
Which is why maybe this isn't
the best thing for zack right now.
Well,it would just be part-time.
I mean I could still take him and pick
him up from schoolevery day,most days.
Ah,I don't know.
Dan,we have to start
thinking long-term.
I mean with your condition as it is...
- we might needthe extra security.
- And I already yeah,well...
applied for a position at channel 6.
Oh...
right.
Like a bulletthrough your
brain outside,inside out
livin' la vida loca
she'll push and pull you out
livin' la vida loca
her lips are devil-red
skin's the color...
holy ...!
uh,listen,man...
just take whatever you want.
Please don't hurt me.
I'm not gonna hurt you,all right?
Where you sleeping
in the back of my car?
- No,I,I mean,I don't think so.
- oh,get out!
- You got it.I'm sorry,all right.
- Go on!
Close the door and take
those cans with you.
- Get away from my car,you bum!
- I think something really bad is about to happen.
- I'm calling the police.
- I think that's probably a good idea.
Hey,take it easy.You can
have the car,all right?
- Shut up!
- That's the car,right?
- Yeah.
- Whoa,whoa,what are you doing?
Just go!Come on!
Watch out!
- Keep going.
- I can'T.
What's wrong?

Season 1 Episode 7
Double Down
A warning tonight for people who
thought that y2k computer glitches
were going to create
chaos come january 1.
Evidence is mounting that they won'T.
Also mounting: Evidence that
some clever con artist...
hey.Just wanted to
see how you were doing.
Well,they say I'm gonna be fine.
But it sure hurts like hell.
- Glad you're okay.
- Thanks to you.
That was some quick thinking back there.
- Uh,joel.
- Dan.
- Almost not quick enough,right?
- Yeah.
Those guys were committed.You
ever seen them before?
No.Neighborhood's really gone downhill.
Probably just a couple of
junkies looking for some cash.
Look,I don't want to be ungrateful,dan,
but what were you doing in the
back of my car with all those cans?
I was...recycling.
- Hey,it's important.
- Joel nemec?
- Yeah?
- Copy.Got him in 223.
Sorry,sir.You need to clear the room.
Everything okay?
Mr.Nemec,I'm leslie gann from
the district attorney's office.
Hey,thanks.
Yeah?
Hey,you busy?
I got stuck on traffic
control for some concert.
Backstreet brothers,'n sync
or something.Why,what's up?
You heard anything about
a shooting earlier today?
Victim's name is joel nemec.
I'm gonna take a wild guess: You're
working the valencia street gang case.
- What can you tell me?
- It's in trial right now.
Ya know,a trip to the courthouse wouldn't
kill you.I thought reporters did research.
What do you think I'm doing?
Fine,but I really should start
getting commission on your stories.
Check's in the mail.
Uh,they're saying the shooting was an
attempt to stop nemec from testifying.
- Against the gang?
- Yeah.
They've been running
drugs in the mission.
Nemec owns a furniture
import business on their turf.
They bullied him into shipping
in heroin from overseas for them.
- And he flipped on them?
- He's the key witness in the case.
Supposed to testify in the morning.
The da's got him on a lockdown.
Thanks.I think I've got what I need.
All right,well,good,'cause
I gotta get going.
- I'll talk to you later.
- Yeah.
Three shakespearean shows
each night,and live jousting.
So,if you're in the mood
for some portage and ale,
come on down to the bay area's
annual renaissance faire.
Hey,marty.
November
What can you tell me about this?
Okay,it's a 1974 series.
- It'S...old.
- Right.
No,no,no,I mean it's,uh...
it's actually strange for a bill
this old to be in such mint condition.
- Where,where'd you get it?
- Does it look legit?
Uh,well,let's see.
It's hard to say.
It's either been out of circulation
for three decades or it's counterfeit.
I'd have to check the inks to be sure.
Do it.And run the serial number
against the criminal database;
- see if you get a hit.
- What,you think it's stolen?
You tell me,marty.
- hello?
- Katie?Ed macklin.
Ed.Hi!
How are you doing?Wow,it's been...
way,way too long.I'd love to
catch up,but I only have a minute.
Listen,did you apply for
a position at channel 6?
Yeah,I did.How...how did you know that?
Well,you're talking to channel
6's assistant news director.
It's official as of last week.
That is great!Congratulations,ed.
Thank you,thank you.Listen,if
you're still interested,
why don't we grab some lunch
tomorrow,and try to figure something out?
Seriously?Wow.
That...um,geez,I real...
I really appreciate you thinking of me.
Well,why do I hear a "but" in there?
yeah.I just,uh...
it's just I haven't had a chance to
talk to dan about going back to work yet.
Don't worry.I got plenty of dirt
on old danny from the old days,
Only if I need to.
Listen,take the night.
- We'll talk more tomorrow?
- Yeah.
- Yeah,that sounds good.
- Good.
Thanks a lot,ed.I'll see you then.
Hey,it's dan.Leave me a message.
Must have been some party.
Whoa.You okay?
- I don't know.
- What happened?
I rescued a guy from a
couple of gangbangers.
Now I seem to be paying for it.
- Who did you save?
- Guy named joel nemec.
He's testifying tomorrow against a
gang running drugs in the mission.
Nemec wouldn't be testifying
if I hadn't saved his life.
That was hours ago.I'm
still here in '99.
- Shouldn't I be going home?
- Normally,yeah.
They found my nametagwhen
they ambushed the car.
That's how they figured
out where I live.
They probably figured joel
was talking to the press.
Which means they think
that I know everything.
Liv,they tracked me
here,my address in '99.
You're not here to protect joel anymore.
You're here to protect you.
It's going to take forever.
Complaining won't make it go any faster.
When are you supposed to be home anyway?
I don't know.That's kind of the problem.
Okay,that should be enough.
Maybe if i tried to warn
myself,said people were after me.
Well,who exactly is going
to talk to your old self?
I've been dead almost a year here.
- Well,I could call on the phone.
- No.
We can't risk altering
your past in any way.
The whole ripple effect
in your timeline...
can't believe we're
having this discussion.
I can.I have them all
the time with my wife now,
never with my dead fianc?e,though.
No offense?
None taken.
- I think it's dry.
- okay.
Damn.
- What?
- I loved this table.
You have no idea how hardit
was to find this thing.
- I'm kind of surprised it broke.
- How come?
Always seemed pretty sturdy to me.
so...
if something happenedto my past self,
that would change everything,right?
Katie,me.Zack.
None of it would have ever happened.
Well,lucky for you,I got out
of your life when I did,huh?
- That's not what I meant.
- Don't worry.We'll fix it.
- All right.
- This way.
Here?Is that it?
Okay.Don't make any sudden moves.
okay,one mess down,one to...
everything in its place.
Then let's get out of here.
Oh,never again.
You know,I'm putting it in my contract.
Listen,if the worst part of your
job is to cover a stupid renn faire,
consider yourself lucky.
Anyway,I thoughtit was
kind of fun.Yeah,you would.
What's to hate?Come on.
Uh,grown men in tights,iambic
pentameter,pipers,this...
okay,have you seen this costume?
No wonder jack dumped you
with a wardrobe like that.
Okay,it's a loaner.And let's
not revise history.I dumped him.
Yeah,whatever.Listen,I'm exhausted.You
want to come in for a bit?
If you're too tired,you know...
- I could have a beer.
- Great.
I have really got to stop coming here.
it only took you seven
months to get over me?
Uh,katie and i weren't dating
yet.We just hung out a lot.
In fact,I thought she
kind of liked eddie.
You're just..
inspector vasser?
Richard garrity.I'm with the bureau.
Oh,pleasure.What can I
do for you,agent garrity?
You submitted an inquiry
on this currency yesterday?
Yeah,I did.Is there a problem?
Our system flagged it.
Serial number on the bill was a
match to a federal case from '75.
You familiar with a dylan mccleen?
Yeoh,ah.The guy that,uh,
hijacked a plane and then
parachuted off with a hundred grand.
That's him.Some of these bills
turn up every couple of years.
It's standard protocol to follow up.
Wait a sec.You saying that money
came from the dylanmccleen heist?
Sometimes this job surprises me.
How exactly did you come into this bill?
I got that off a tip from
a confidential informant.
I'm afraid I can't
say much more than that
without jeopardizingan
ongoing investigation.
You understand,any details you provide
will be treated with full discretion.
Of course.I...I tell you what.
I'll check into a few leads,and
I'll see what I can dig up.
I'd appreciate it.
- Great.
- All right.
Hey,that guy's leaving with your wife.
How comeI never met ed?
He worked with katie at the station.
- You think they ever...?
- What?
No.well,I don't think so.
So...do I,uh,really need to ask?
What?Where'd the car come from?
Borrowed it.
All right,I don't want to
know.I got enough problems.
Actually,I've been thinking.
You said joel's supposed to
testify in the morning,right?
Yeah.
So,once he takes the
stand,you're in the clear.
- The damage will be done.
- I don't know.Gangs tend to hold grudges.
But most of the time,in
cases like these,
- a dominant motive is to eliminate the witnesses.
- What do you know?
You worked at the da's
office,what,a year?
One more year than you.
well,it's midnight.
We can camp out here,
keep our eye on the building,make
sure they don't come back.
At least you're already
in for the night.
Not exactly.
I thought he said he was exhausted.
He says a lot of things.
Incoming.
- Any idea where you just went?
- Yeah.
Boscoe's donut palace.During the day.
At night,the owner runs
illicit poker games.
I remember your so-called
late nights at the office.
That was nothing.After you were
gone from my life,it really got bad.
You okay?
Yeah.vu moment.
Something about this
night just came back to me.
It looks like we're not the
only ones who followed me here.
- We could ram 'em.
- They have guns.
What if we figure out a way to
keep my past self in there longer,
so he doesn't come out?
That would change the
natural order of things.
We can't just sit here; it's been over an
hour,and those guys aren't going anywhere.
I know,but we can't do anything
that will mess with your past.
Well,how's it gonna mess
with my past when I come out
after six scotches and
ask those guys for a ride?
I'm going to call the police.
And get yourself arrested for gambling?
It beats dying.
- Hello?
- Wait,dan.Dan!
This is bad.
Wait,wait,wait.What...
- what are you going to do?
- I don't know.Something.
Hey!
Vasser,stop!
I don't have any
money.Stay down and shut up!
how's it feel?
- I'm trying to help you.
- Do I know you?
get in!
Go!Go!
So how's danny doing these days anyway?
He's good.Things have been
a little hectic lately.
You and me both.
so I got to ask.
- Are you and danny okay for cash?
- Sure.Why?
I mean,you getting back
in the game and all...
- forget it; I don't want
to pry. - Uh-huh.Since when?
danny's not back at the tables,is he?
Oh,god,no,no,it's nothing like that.
I'm sure you heard about the layoffs.
We're just looking to cover our bases.
- He still with the register?
- Thankfully.
Print business is taking
a real hit these days.
All the more reason to come
to television news,right?
Well,the internet's going
to take us both down.
Maybe.
it's been a tough month,though.
I lost a reporter to channel 12,I
got another out on maternity leave.
I just need somebody to
cover a couple shifts a week.
Well,I think I can do that
as long as you promise not
to put me on the morning show.
Oh,what,you got something
against getting up at 3:00 A.M.?
- Yeah,a seven-year-old.
- Oh,that's right.I forgot.
Okay,if I promise no morning shows,
do we have a deal?
I guess we do.
Well,then,welcome back to the
exciting world of broadcast journalism.
Give it up.Give it up.
almost there.
Dollar margarita night.
- he locked it.
- Keys.
- Got 'em.
- You think he saw you back there?
'Cause this could get pretty messy.
I doubt it; it was dark.
And judging by his breath,he's wasted.
Yeah.
and the details of that night
were pretty fuzzy the next day.
this wasn't exactly my best year.
I don't know if I ever said
it,but I want you to know
- I'm sorry.
- For what?
For leaving.
For not telling you the truth.
It wasn't easy for me either.
Yeah.
After the plane crash,when they didn't
find your body,I kept thinking,maybe...
maybe you didn't get on that plane.
Every time the phone rang,
every time someone came to the door...
I guess the hard part
was the not knowing.
Not getting a chance
to say good-bye to you.
Well,it turns out
"good-bye" was unnecessary.
You know,a couple of times
tonight when we were talking...
- it was like nothing had ever changed.
- Yeah,yeah.
Except those guys trying to kill me.
And you fighting yourself... that's new.
Maybe you won't remember
any of this tomorrow
and everything will be the same.
Livia,there's something
I need to tell you.
something important happened
after that poker game.
- I thought you didn't remember.
- I didn'T.
- Someone filled me in the next day.
- Great.
I came here to get the rest of my money.
- You went back to the game?
- Yeah,I had a pretty bad night.
I almost lost everything except...
katie came toget me.She...
pulled me out.
- How did she know you were at the game?
- Don't know.
All I remember is waking
up here the next morning
and there she was,sat right next to me.
She'd stayed the whole night
through just to make sure I was okay.
That was the moment we both...
kind of knew.
Oh.
I need to get to that game.
If I'm not there when
katie comes for me...
you don't end up together.
No katie,no family,no son.
He's not going anywhere tonight.
You could go back to that
game,pose as yourself.
I just need to get my money.
I don't understand.It should be here.
- Where else would you have put it?
- Nowhere.It's got...
- he took it.
- Who?
The guy who trashed my apartment...
he stole my money.
- vasser.
- Yeah.
Oh,damn,wrong one.
- What are you doing here?
- How you doing,hugh?
Oh,same old.
Not going to lie to you,though.
I'm never really comfortable
when there's a police officer
in my newsroom unsupervised.
Oh,relax,I'm just
looking for my brother.
I've been trying to reach him all day.
- Join the club.
- You having trouble finding him,too?
- No more than usual.
- Why?There a problem?
No,he's just been
working long hours lately.
Dan pretty much works his own hours.
He's meeting his deadlines?
Missed maybe twoin ten years.
How many in the last month?
Just have him give me
a call when he gets in.
Sure thing.
How much money are we talking here?
I had over 20 grand in that
drawer,give or take a few.
You never heard of a bank?
It wasn't exactly tax-deductible.
- Anything?
- $242.07.
That's all my past self has to his name.
- Is that going to be enough?
- Not even close.
Well,wait.We just need enough
to get you in the game,right?
High stakes.I can't even sit at
the table without ten grand,minimum.
Where are we going to get that kind
of money at 1:00 in the morning?
Oh,great,perfect.
Dan's old cd
Zack's Winter clothes
Zack's Winter clothes
will,hey,it's dan,yeah.
I'm sorry to bother
you.I know it's late.
It's kind of an emergency.
We're not talking
crazy money or anything.
Ten grand.Hello?
Hey,hey,alex,it's dan.
That's bull.When have I...?
You know that I'll pay you back.
When have I ever not paid you
back?You know I'm good for it.
Okay,yeah.You know what?Forget it.
It's chump change.You know that
I'll pay you back within the week.
Never mind.I think I just figured
out how I'm going to get this money.
yeah.
When are they moving him?
I'm on my way.
why am I here?Think,livia,think.
Hey.Early day today?
We need to talk.Where's dan?
He's not at work; I was just there.
Is everything okay?
I know what's in the
closet.I saw the money.
What money?
Just tell me where it came from.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Jack,where are you going?
Jack.
Jack.
Jack,talk to me.
Jack.Please stop.
Where is it?Does dan have it?
- Okay,can you just stop for a second?
- No.Where's my brother?
I really wish I knew.
Okay,I am tired of
playing this game with you.
- I want you to answer the damn question.
- Jack,you're tired?!
You come barging in here every
day with some new accusation,
you go digging through our
finances,our private affairs...
for good reason.I'm
protecting you from yourselves.
- You can't police our lives.
- Wake up,katie!
There were thousands of
dollars of stolen money in here.
You could go to jail.Dan
could go to jail.
Your son could go to a foster home.
Now,I want to know
where that money is now.
You know what?I'm done.
From the beginning,some of the most acute concerns
about y2k difficulties involved air travel,which,
after all,is heavily
reliant on computers.
It's one thing to stock up on
bottled water and canned food,
but if something goes wrong...
there aren't a lotof home remedies.
Sick or visiting?
Are you sick,or are
you visiting someone?
- Just visiting.
- Me,too.
My husband ate an
expired can of sardines.
- I'm sorry.
- It's ridiculous.
They put the expiration
date on top of the can.
Once you peel it back,you
can't even read it anymore.
You don't think it's
mercury poisoning,do you?
'Cause this-this whole toxic
dumping thing has me up at night.
Gun!
- what happened?
- Kind of a long story.
We got a problem.I was
back at the game by now.
- How did you get that?
- It was in your house.
- You went to my house?
- Yes.We have to go.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
I saw katie.
She didn't see me.
What else did you see?
I saw your house.
Your life,zack.
He's adorable,by the way.
That must have been hard.
You deserve to be happy.
- got to go.
- I know
Any idea what you're
supposed to do in there?
lose a lot of money and hope
that katie shows up somehow.
Well,good luck.Or bad luck.
Hey,look who's back!
I thought you were done for the night.
Well,guess I just feel lucky.
In for a thousand.
2,000.
5.000
why don't you take a load
off?I'll put some coffeeon.
Yeah,I just...
- I got to do something first.
- What?
Got to puke.
damn it!
dan?
long night.
You could say that.
Liv...
you saved my life.
Thank you.
I guess everything's the
way it's supposed to be.
Yeah.
Good-bye,dan.
We'll have a high of 59
degrees with a temperature...
is this a bad time?I
was in the neighborhood.
- Of course not.Have a seat.
- Thanks.
Any progress with that currency?
I hit a few walls,but I'M...I'm still
following up on a couple of leads.
Anything promising?
It's hard to say.
I'm sure you know... tracing stolen
cash these days is more art than science.
Well,if you'd like to
share your findings,
I'd be happy to take some of
the load off your shoulders.
Thanks.I'd rather not.It's
kind of a sensitive matter.
- I want all your case files.
- Excuse me?
Let's cut the crap.
I don't know why,but you're withholding
information in a federal investigation.
That's a hell of an accusation.
You're damn right it is.
So,you either tell me exactly
where you found the bill,
or I can start making things
very difficult for you.
All right.
You want to know where I got the bill?
I got it from my brother.
Katie says you disappeared for
a couple days and didn't know it.
- Something like that.
- And you went back in time?
They found the plane in
the water bou not yr body.
- Did you see livia?
- Yes, in fact I did.
- Who's the lucky woman who got my fianc?
- You don't know?
- Livia knows what you do
- Livia does what I do..
You married jack's katie?
It's interesting that whatever he's
doing takes him right back to her
I can't control when I
go,but I seem to the present
when I finish some chapter in the
lives of the people that I'm tracking.
et me buy your jacket.
- You can take it.
- You can take mine.
What the hell's going on?
We have a problem,and it's
serious and it's personal.
Right now,I just need
you to trust me,okay?
- Where did you get all that?
- It's dylan mccleen'S.
- The hijacker?
- Does this mean we're rich?
- Not exactly.This is not real.
- Not real?
- No,it's like play money.
- Can I play with it?
No.
Jail's no place for someone like you.
But if you're willing to work
with me,I'll cut you a deal.
I'll sell this to you for...
- 500 bucks.
- No,thanks.
Seriously?
Okay.
I vote we break for food.
What are you in the mood for?
Pizza with pepperoni.
I think that can be arranged...
with a quick trip to the atm.
Let's use monopoly money.
Yeah,I don't think the pizza guy would
appreciate being tipped with pink dollars.
Not that,dad's monopoly money.
What?!
Here it is.
- cool,huh?
- Whoa.
Wait,wh...
where did this come from?
Dad brought it home.
- When?
- I don't know.
Can we order pizza with it?
Yeah,I don't think that's a good idea...
without asking your parents.
Hey,how about you go
check out the kitchen
and see if we got any of that
chili left over from sunday?
Chili dogs?
Dude,food of the gods.
- Awesome.
- Awesome.
You know,I'm just saying.
That's the second year in a row
they've sat me next to irwin.
What is the deal?Does he
always smell like that?
Yeah.Kind of an exotic blend
of bengay and tuna fish?
Maybe somebody needs to tell him.
Yeah,like,an intervention?Whoa.
- Hey.
- Yeah.Do you have the...
- what?what?What's wrong?
- Oh,God...
I just wanted to say thank
you for coming with me tonight.
I couldn't have faced another boring
correspondents' dinner without you.
Well,the next time I wanna
drag you to the opera,
- remember: You owe me one.
- All right.
You realize this is the closest thing
we've had to a date in almost two months?
It doesn't have to end now.
- Oh,hey.Sorry.
- Hi,yeah,we were just...
- On our way in.
- oh,cool.
Well,I hate to babysit and
run,but I gotta get to work.
- Oh,is everything okay?
- Yeah,it's just the usual.
- Dad!
- Hey,buddy.
Thanks for looking after him.
- You saved a life.
- It's not a problem.He's the greatest.
All right,have a good night.
- Good night.
- Uh-huh.
- You guys have fun?
- Yup.
But uncle jack's not
very good at board games.
Never was,even when he was little.
At least he doesn't throw the
board across the room anymore.
- did you eat some dinner?
- Yup.
Mmm,oh,I see,chili dogs.
Why don't you go put on your pjs,bud.
Okay.
You want some help?
- Yeah,you get the recycling.
- Sure.
So,listen,I've been thinking
about our current situation.
That doesn't sound too good.
No,I mean...
just given how unpredictable
everything's been.
I thought,uh,it'd be a good
idea for me to go back to work.
Now or at some point down the line?
Soon.
To say things were a
little crazy lately...
- would be an understatement.
- Yeah.
Which is why maybe this isn't
the best thing for zack right now.
Well,it would just be part-time.
I mean I could still take him and pick
him up from schoolevery day,most days.
Ah,I don't know.
Dan,we have to start
thinking long-term.
I mean with your condition as it is...
- we might needthe extra security.
- And I already yeah,well...
applied for a position at channel 6.
Oh...
right.
Like a bulletthrough your
brain outside,inside out
livin' la vida loca
she'll push and pull you out
livin' la vida loca
her lips are devil-red
skin's the color...
holy ...!
uh,listen,man...
just take whatever you want.
Please don't hurt me.
I'm not gonna hurt you,all right?
Where you sleeping
in the back of my car?
- No,I,I mean,I don't think so.
- oh,get out!
- You got it.I'm sorry,all right.
- Go on!
Close the door and take
those cans with you.
- Get away from my car,you bum!
- I think something really bad is about to happen.
- I'm calling the police.
- I think that's probably a good idea.
Hey,take it easy.You can
have the car,all right?
- Shut up!
- That's the car,right?
- Yeah.
- Whoa,whoa,what are you doing?
Just go!Come on!
Watch out!
- Keep going.
- I can'T.
What's wrong?

Season 1 Episode 7
Double Down
A warning tonight for people who
thought that y2k computer glitches
were going to create
chaos come january 1.
Evidence is mounting that they won'T.
Also mounting: Evidence that
some clever con artist...
hey.Just wanted to
see how you were doing.
Well,they say I'm gonna be fine.
But it sure hurts like hell.
- Glad you're okay.
- Thanks to you.
That was some quick thinking back there.
- Uh,joel.
- Dan.
- Almost not quick enough,right?
- Yeah.
Those guys were committed.You
ever seen them before?
No.Neighborhood's really gone downhill.
Probably just a couple of
junkies looking for some cash.
Look,I don't want to be ungrateful,dan,
but what were you doing in the
back of my car with all those cans?
I was...recycling.
- Hey,it's important.
- Joel nemec?
- Yeah?
- Copy.Got him in 223.
Sorry,sir.You need to clear the room.
Everything okay?
Mr.Nemec,I'm leslie gann from
the district attorney's office.
Hey,thanks.
Yeah?
Hey,you busy?
I got stuck on traffic
control for some concert.
Backstreet brothers,'n sync
or something.Why,what's up?
You heard anything about
a shooting earlier today?
Victim's name is joel nemec.
I'm gonna take a wild guess: You're
working the valencia street gang case.
- What can you tell me?
- It's in trial right now.
Ya know,a trip to the courthouse wouldn't
kill you.I thought reporters did research.
What do you think I'm doing?
Fine,but I really should start
getting commission on your stories.
Check's in the mail.
Uh,they're saying the shooting was an
attempt to stop nemec from testifying.
- Against the gang?
- Yeah.
They've been running
drugs in the mission.
Nemec owns a furniture
import business on their turf.
They bullied him into shipping
in heroin from overseas for them.
- And he flipped on them?
- He's the key witness in the case.
Supposed to testify in the morning.
The da's got him on a lockdown.
Thanks.I think I've got what I need.
All right,well,good,'cause
I gotta get going.
- I'll talk to you later.
- Yeah.
Three shakespearean shows
each night,and live jousting.
So,if you're in the mood
for some portage and ale,
come on down to the bay area's
annual renaissance faire.
Hey,marty.
November
What can you tell me about this?
Okay,it's a 1974 series.
- It'S...old.
- Right.
No,no,no,I mean it's,uh...
it's actually strange for a bill
this old to be in such mint condition.
- Where,where'd you get it?
- Does it look legit?
Uh,well,let's see.
It's hard to say.
It's either been out of circulation
for three decades or it's counterfeit.
I'd have to check the inks to be sure.
Do it.And run the serial number
against the criminal database;
- see if you get a hit.
- What,you think it's stolen?
You tell me,marty.
- hello?
- Katie?Ed macklin.
Ed.Hi!
How are you doing?Wow,it's been...
way,way too long.I'd love to
catch up,but I only have a minute.
Listen,did you apply for
a position at channel 6?
Yeah,I did.How...how did you know that?
Well,you're talking to channel
6's assistant news director.
It's official as of last week.
That is great!Congratulations,ed.
Thank you,thank you.Listen,if
you're still interested,
why don't we grab some lunch
tomorrow,and try to figure something out?
Seriously?Wow.
That...um,geez,I real...
I really appreciate you thinking of me.
Well,why do I hear a "but" in there?
yeah.I just,uh...
it's just I haven't had a chance to
talk to dan about going back to work yet.
Don't worry.I got plenty of dirt
on old danny from the old days,
Only if I need to.
Listen,take the night.
- We'll talk more tomorrow?
- Yeah.
- Yeah,that sounds good.
- Good.
Thanks a lot,ed.I'll see you then.
Hey,it's dan.Leave me a message.
Must have been some party.
Whoa.You okay?
- I don't know.
- What happened?
I rescued a guy from a
couple of gangbangers.
Now I seem to be paying for it.
- Who did you save?
- Guy named joel nemec.
He's testifying tomorrow against a
gang running drugs in the mission.
Nemec wouldn't be testifying
if I hadn't saved his life.
That was hours ago.I'm
still here in '99.
- Shouldn't I be going home?
- Normally,yeah.
They found my nametagwhen
they ambushed the car.
That's how they figured
out where I live.
They probably figured joel
was talking to the press.
Which means they think
that I know everything.
Liv,they tracked me
here,my address in '99.
You're not here to protect joel anymore.
You're here to protect you.
It's going to take forever.
Complaining won't make it go any faster.
When are you supposed to be home anyway?
I don't know.That's kind of the problem.
Okay,that should be enough.
Maybe if i tried to warn
myself,said people were after me.
Well,who exactly is going
to talk to your old self?
I've been dead almost a year here.
- Well,I could call on the phone.
- No.
We can't risk altering
your past in any way.
The whole ripple effect
in your timeline...
can't believe we're
having this discussion.
I can.I have them all
the time with my wife now,
never with my dead fianc?e,though.
No offense?
None taken.
- I think it's dry.
- okay.
Damn.
- What?
- I loved this table.
You have no idea how hardit
was to find this thing.
- I'm kind of surprised it broke.
- How come?
Always seemed pretty sturdy to me.
so...
if something happenedto my past self,
that would change everything,right?
Katie,me.Zack.
None of it would have ever happened.
Well,lucky for you,I got out
of your life when I did,huh?
- That's not what I meant.
- Don't worry.We'll fix it.
- All right.
- This way.
Here?Is that it?
Okay.Don't make any sudden moves.
okay,one mess down,one to...
everything in its place.
Then let's get out of here.
Oh,never again.
You know,I'm putting it in my contract.
Listen,if the worst part of your
job is to cover a stupid renn faire,
consider yourself lucky.
Anyway,I thoughtit was
kind of fun.Yeah,you would.
What's to hate?Come on.
Uh,grown men in tights,iambic
pentameter,pipers,this...
okay,have you seen this costume?
No wonder jack dumped you
with a wardrobe like that.
Okay,it's a loaner.And let's
not revise history.I dumped him.
Yeah,whatever.Listen,I'm exhausted.You
want to come in for a bit?
If you're too tired,you know...
- I could have a beer.
- Great.
I have really got to stop coming here.
it only took you seven
months to get over me?
Uh,katie and i weren't dating
yet.We just hung out a lot.
In fact,I thought she
kind of liked eddie.
You're just..
inspector vasser?
Richard garrity.I'm with the bureau.
Oh,pleasure.What can I
do for you,agent garrity?
You submitted an inquiry
on this currency yesterday?
Yeah,I did.Is there a problem?
Our system flagged it.
Serial number on the bill was a
match to a federal case from '75.
You familiar with a dylan mccleen?
Yeoh,ah.The guy that,uh,
hijacked a plane and then
parachuted off with a hundred grand.
That's him.Some of these bills
turn up every couple of years.
It's standard protocol to follow up.
Wait a sec.You saying that money
came from the dylanmccleen heist?
Sometimes this job surprises me.
How exactly did you come into this bill?
I got that off a tip from
a confidential informant.
I'm afraid I can't
say much more than that
without jeopardizingan
ongoing investigation.
You understand,any details you provide
will be treated with full discretion.
Of course.I...I tell you what.
I'll check into a few leads,and
I'll see what I can dig up.
I'd appreciate it.
- Great.
- All right.
Hey,that guy's leaving with your wife.
How comeI never met ed?
He worked with katie at the station.
- You think they ever...?
- What?
No.well,I don't think so.
So...do I,uh,really need to ask?
What?Where'd the car come from?
Borrowed it.
All right,I don't want to
know.I got enough problems.
Actually,I've been thinking.
You said joel's supposed to
testify in the morning,right?
Yeah.
So,once he takes the
stand,you're in the clear.
- The damage will be done.
- I don't know.Gangs tend to hold grudges.
But most of the time,in
cases like these,
- a dominant motive is to eliminate the witnesses.
- What do you know?
You worked at the da's
office,what,a year?
One more year than you.
well,it's midnight.
We can camp out here,
keep our eye on the building,make
sure they don't come back.
At least you're already
in for the night.
Not exactly.
I thought he said he was exhausted.
He says a lot of things.
Incoming.
- Any idea where you just went?
- Yeah.
Boscoe's donut palace.During the day.
At night,the owner runs
illicit poker games.
I remember your so-called
late nights at the office.
That was nothing.After you were
gone from my life,it really got bad.
You okay?
Yeah.vu moment.
Something about this
night just came back to me.
It looks like we're not the
only ones who followed me here.
- We could ram 'em.
- They have guns.
What if we figure out a way to
keep my past self in there longer,
so he doesn't come out?
That would change the
natural order of things.
We can't just sit here; it's been over an
hour,and those guys aren't going anywhere.
I know,but we can't do anything
that will mess with your past.
Well,how's it gonna mess
with my past when I come out
after six scotches and
ask those guys for a ride?
I'm going to call the police.
And get yourself arrested for gambling?
It beats dying.
- Hello?
- Wait,dan.Dan!
This is bad.
Wait,wait,wait.What...
- what are you going to do?
- I don't know.Something.
Hey!
Vasser,stop!
I don't have any
money.Stay down and shut up!
how's it feel?
- I'm trying to help you.
- Do I know you?
get in!
Go!Go!
So how's danny doing these days anyway?
He's good.Things have been
a little hectic lately.
You and me both.
so I got to ask.
- Are you and danny okay for cash?
- Sure.Why?
I mean,you getting back
in the game and all...
- forget it; I don't want
to pry. - Uh-huh.Since when?
danny's not back at the tables,is he?
Oh,god,no,no,it's nothing like that.
I'm sure you heard about the layoffs.
We're just looking to cover our bases.
- He still with the register?
- Thankfully.
Print business is taking
a real hit these days.
All the more reason to come
to television news,right?
Well,the internet's going
to take us both down.
Maybe.
it's been a tough month,though.
I lost a reporter to channel 12,I
got another out on maternity leave.
I just need somebody to
cover a couple shifts a week.
Well,I think I can do that
as long as you promise not
to put me on the morning show.
Oh,what,you got something
against getting up at 3:00 A.M.?
- Yeah,a seven-year-old.
- Oh,that's right.I forgot.
Okay,if I promise no morning shows,
do we have a deal?
I guess we do.
Well,then,welcome back to the
exciting world of broadcast journalism.
Give it up.Give it up.
almost there.
Dollar margarita night.
- he locked it.
- Keys.
- Got 'em.
- You think he saw you back there?
'Cause this could get pretty messy.
I doubt it; it was dark.
And judging by his breath,he's wasted.
Yeah.
and the details of that night
were pretty fuzzy the next day.
this wasn't exactly my best year.
I don't know if I ever said
it,but I want you to know
- I'm sorry.
- For what?
For leaving.
For not telling you the truth.
It wasn't easy for me either.
Yeah.
After the plane crash,when they didn't
find your body,I kept thinking,maybe...
maybe you didn't get on that plane.
Every time the phone rang,
every time someone came to the door...
I guess the hard part
was the not knowing.
Not getting a chance
to say good-bye to you.
Well,it turns out
"good-bye" was unnecessary.
You know,a couple of times
tonight when we were talking...
- it was like nothing had ever changed.
- Yeah,yeah.
Except those guys trying to kill me.
And you fighting yourself... that's new.
Maybe you won't remember
any of this tomorrow
and everything will be the same.
Livia,there's something
I need to tell you.
something important happened
after that poker game.
- I thought you didn't remember.
- I didn'T.
- Someone filled me in the next day.
- Great.
I came here to get the rest of my money.
- You went back to the game?
- Yeah,I had a pretty bad night.
I almost lost everything except...
katie came toget me.She...
pulled me out.
- How did she know you were at the game?
- Don't know.
All I remember is waking
up here the next morning
and there she was,sat right next to me.
She'd stayed the whole night
through just to make sure I was okay.
That was the moment we both...
kind of knew.
Oh.
I need to get to that game.
If I'm not there when
katie comes for me...
you don't end up together.
No katie,no family,no son.
He's not going anywhere tonight.
You could go back to that
game,pose as yourself.
I just need to get my money.
I don't understand.It should be here.
- Where else would you have put it?
- Nowhere.It's got...
- he took it.
- Who?
The guy who trashed my apartment...
he stole my money.
- vasser.
- Yeah.
Oh,damn,wrong one.
- What are you doing here?
- How you doing,hugh?
Oh,same old.
Not going to lie to you,though.
I'm never really comfortable
when there's a police officer
in my newsroom unsupervised.
Oh,relax,I'm just
looking for my brother.
I've been trying to reach him all day.
- Join the club.
- You having trouble finding him,too?
- No more than usual.
- Why?There a problem?
No,he's just been
working long hours lately.
Dan pretty much works his own hours.
He's meeting his deadlines?
Missed maybe twoin ten years.
How many in the last month?
Just have him give me
a call when he gets in.
Sure thing.
How much money are we talking here?
I had over 20 grand in that
drawer,give or take a few.
You never heard of a bank?
It wasn't exactly tax-deductible.
- Anything?
- $242.07.
That's all my past self has to his name.
- Is that going to be enough?
- Not even close.
Well,wait.We just need enough
to get you in the game,right?
High stakes.I can't even sit at
the table without ten grand,minimum.
Where are we going to get that kind
of money at 1:00 in the morning?
Oh,great,perfect.
Dan's old cd
Zack's Winter clothes
Zack's Winter clothes
will,hey,it's dan,yeah.
I'm sorry to bother
you.I know it's late.
It's kind of an emergency.
We're not talking
crazy money or anything.
Ten grand.Hello?
Hey,hey,alex,it's dan.
That's bull.When have I...?
You know that I'll pay you back.
When have I ever not paid you
back?You know I'm good for it.
Okay,yeah.You know what?Forget it.
It's chump change.You know that
I'll pay you back within the week.
Never mind.I think I just figured
out how I'm going to get this money.
yeah.
When are they moving him?
I'm on my way.
why am I here?Think,livia,think.
Hey.Early day today?
We need to talk.Where's dan?
He's not at work; I was just there.
Is everything okay?
I know what's in the
closet.I saw the money.
What money?
Just tell me where it came from.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Jack,where are you going?
Jack.
Jack.
Jack,talk to me.
Jack.Please stop.
Where is it?Does dan have it?
- Okay,can you just stop for a second?
- No.Where's my brother?
I really wish I knew.
Okay,I am tired of
playing this game with you.
- I want you to answer the damn question.
- Jack,you're tired?!
You come barging in here every
day with some new accusation,
you go digging through our
finances,our private affairs...
for good reason.I'm
protecting you from yourselves.
- You can't police our lives.
- Wake up,katie!
There were thousands of
dollars of stolen money in here.
You could go to jail.Dan
could go to jail.
Your son could go to a foster home.
Now,I want to know
where that money is now.
You know what?I'm done.
From the beginning,some of the most acute concerns
about y2k difficulties involved air travel,which,
after all,is heavily
reliant on computers.
It's one thing to stock up on
bottled water and canned food,
but if something goes wrong...
there aren't a lotof home remedies.
Sick or visiting?
Are you sick,or are
you visiting someone?
- Just visiting.
- Me,too.
My husband ate an
expired can of sardines.
- I'm sorry.
- It's ridiculous.
They put the expiration
date on top of the can.
Once you peel it back,you
can't even read it anymore.
You don't think it's
mercury poisoning,do you?
'Cause this-this whole toxic
dumping thing has me up at night.
Gun!
- what happened?
- Kind of a long story.
We got a problem.I was
back at the game by now.
- How did you get that?
- It was in your house.
- You went to my house?
- Yes.We have to go.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
I saw katie.
She didn't see me.
What else did you see?
I saw your house.
Your life,zack.
He's adorable,by the way.
That must have been hard.
You deserve to be happy.
- got to go.
- I know
Any idea what you're
supposed to do in there?
lose a lot of money and hope
that katie shows up somehow.
Well,good luck.Or bad luck.
Hey,look who's back!
I thought you were done for the night.
Well,guess I just feel lucky.
In for a thousand.
2,000.
5.000
why don't you take a load
off?I'll put some coffeeon.
Yeah,I just...
- I got to do something first.
- What?
Got to puke.
damn it!
dan?
long night.
You could say that.
Liv...
you saved my life.
Thank you.
I guess everything's the
way it's supposed to be.
Yeah.
Good-bye,dan.
We'll have a high of 59
degrees with a temperature...
is this a bad time?I
was in the neighborhood.
- Of course not.Have a seat.
- Thanks.
Any progress with that currency?
I hit a few walls,but I'M...I'm still
following up on a couple of leads.
Anything promising?
It's hard to say.
I'm sure you know... tracing stolen
cash these days is more art than science.
Well,if you'd like to
share your findings,
I'd be happy to take some of
the load off your shoulders.
Thanks.I'd rather not.It's
kind of a sensitive matter.
- I want all your case files.
- Excuse me?
Let's cut the crap.
I don't know why,but you're withholding
information in a federal investigation.
That's a hell of an accusation.
You're damn right it is.
So,you either tell me exactly
where you found the bill,
or I can start making things
very difficult for you.
All right.
You want to know where I got the bill?
I got it from my brother.
