Journeyman (2007–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Emily - full transcript

Dan Vasser's pre-teen Jon Zack displays disturbed behavior at school and a t home, which Dan realizes fears to stem from missing dad and his firm hand. Dan himself is projected twice to the same space-time-cross to save kidnapping victims, plausibly both abducted by the same landlord. But it's not more complicated, involving drug addiction and another surprise factor. Jack concludes his startled brother Dan needs psychological therapy badly.

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,but not your body.

Dan...

forty-eight.

- Livia knows what you do.
- Livia does what I do.

I can't control when I go.

I seem to come back to the present

when I finish some chapter in the
lives of the people that I'm tracking.



Katie,I gotta leave!Katie..!

You stole money from my house

and then you took it
to your lab to analyze.

Yeah,and you've been lying to me,danny.

Get the hell out of my house!

1995...

a cabbie was givena
counterfeit $20 bill.

The bill in question was not
counterfeit,but a leaked prototype.

Okay.

Cabbie described his passenger as a stocky
caucasian male with short,blonde hair.

hey.

Look like you could use it.

What is it?

It's love,man.



It's just love.

Great.

JourneyMan
Season 1 Episode 9
Emily

This is crazy.I'm the one who found her.

You'll have plenty of time
to explain yourself later.

Listen to me.He was here,the
guy who did this to her.

He took off when you guys showed up.

Let's get you out of here,kiddo.

You have to let him go.

He's not the bad man.

It's okay.

Simply put,mrs.Vasser,it's bad behavior.

What kind of bad behavior?

Well,he disobeyed and
talked back to his teacher.

And last week,we had to sit zack out of
recess twice for fighting other children...

it's become a concern.

I'm sorry.We'll address it.

You need to understand that if it
becomes necessary,zack will be suspended.

Okay.

Are there problems in the home?

No,just that zack's had
some trouble sleeping.

I mean,between you and your husband.

Oh,no.We're getting along all right.

Um,my husband's been traveling a lot.

And I went back to work.

Wasn't Mr. Vasser
supposed to be here today?

He got called away.

Last minute.

Well,odd behavior,unexplained
absences... those sound like his symptoms?

Something like that.

- Could be schizotypal personality disorder.
- Schizo?

- I'm not saying he's schizophrenic.
- Oh,that's a relief.

But what about his behavior?

Is he hearing voices?Is he paranoid?

- No.
- What about delusions?

Yeah,you could call them that.

So he disappears for hours
at a time,no explanation.

Sometimes he puts himself
or his family in danger.

Most of the time.

Well,you could always do a 51-50.

Whoa,whoa... take him in?

Yeah,well...

it's not like you have to send a bunch
of guys after him with butterfly nets.

Just set an appointment
for him with a shrink.

Give him the chance
to go in voluntarily.

So you're saying he's a nut job?

I'm saying he could be sick.

Then he can stay that way.I'm done.

One of these has got to work.

So how is it that they
mistook you for this guy?

You know,katie,I'd rather not
talk about this one right now.Okay.

Okay.

How was the meeting?

Oh,you know,our kid's about
to be suspended,and,uh,

mrs.Murray is convinced
we're unfit parents.

I don't know why.

You're having a lot of fun over there.

Have I seen you guys here before?

- No.
- No.

So I got her to let me be room mom,

see if we can't straighten zack out.

I'm sorry,I should've been there.

Hey,it is what it is.

Jack could get you out of these.

That's the last person I
want to see me like this.

Yeah,I know,but,

you know,you are going to have
to talk to him at some point.

Katie...

next topic.

Hey...

uh,should we,uh...

- keep these?
- Yes,if they'll keep you home.

Hey.

On us.

Not my style.

You want dan vasser,talk to dan vasser.

You want to know about the stories
he's working on,read the paper...

somebody should.

Actually,I've conducted an impromptu
audit of your pages in the last six weeks.

Not a lot of dan vasser
bylines to speak of.

Well,he delivers when it counts.

Well,from what I've gathered,he's been
busy chasing the famous dylan mccleen.

We're pretty sure he tested
airport security for the story.

There's no story.

He may have come into the stolen cash.

- There's no story.
- How do you know that?

Because he told me there wasn'T.

Look.

We're both interested
in the same thing here.

Oh,that's a good one.

You practice that in the mirror?

We want the truth.

Mr. Vasser is investigating a
federal crime,an unsolved crime.

If we could sharesome of his
sources,it would be good for both of us.

You get a scoop,I get a criminal.

Oh,you want sources.

Why didn't you say so?

I realize it's an unorthodox request.

Unorthodox and impossible.

Dan vasser did a couple
of weeks behind bars

because he wouldn't name
a source for a grand jury.

You expect him to give it up for you?

I was hoping for a little
cooperation.That's all.

You're the feds.

You want his browser history,phone
records,even his grocery list,

take it without asking.

Isn't that what you boys do these days?

- You practice that in the mirror?
- Just made it up.

I overslept,sorry.

Hey,it's 8:10.

Why don't you have your shoes on?

I don't need them.

Yeah,you do.Put 'em on,buddy.

He hasn't eaten anything.

He doesn't like my pancakes.

Since when don't you
like mom's pancakes?

I want you to make me eggs.

Okay,zack.

****

About your behavior
at home and at school?

You know the thingyou got upstairs.

The thing with the weird handles.

You swing it around and the little
italian painters kill all those mushrooms?

- It's called a wii.
- Right,so guess what?

Wii's not gonna see you
for the whole "wii-kend."

- What?
- Yes,so socks,shoes,then three bites... go.

What time did he go down?

Doesn't matter,he was up again at 3:00.

Couldn't get back to
sleep for another hour.

- That's the second time this week.
- Third.

Has he talked to you at all about...

- your vanishing act?
- No,you?

No.

- I got to go.
- Why so early.

This guy kept a little girl behind
a brick wall for three months.

Whatever happened to her?

She's a foster kid.

Social services placed her with
a new family,but she ran away.

I tried to find her to write a follow-up,you
know,after the other girl disappeared.

What other girl?

Another foster girl.

Went missing about a year later.

- Turned up dead.
- What?

Oh,the whole thing was a
huge black eye for the city.

Which gave me a lot of bylines.

And which brings me to you...

is this going to be an actual story,or
another one of your snipe hunts?

Who's this?

Aeden bennett?

Oh,yeah.

He was trying to move some
abandoned buildings down in soma.

He managed the place
where they found her.

He was never a suspect?

- Yeah,but the cops cleared him.
- Why?

I don't remember.He's no killer,though,

just trying to make a buck.He actually
turned out to be a pretty good source.

I'll bet.

You're not saying this is the guy.

I'd have to know that
for sure,wouldn't I?

It's not like I was there or anything.

Jack vasser,please.

Rudy's working pio.

If you want a statement,talk to him.

- I'm not here for a story.
- I can't help you then.

- I need you to question somebody.
- I need a weekend in cabo.You see that happening?

- Come on.
- Dan,forget it.

You want me to apologize?Is that it?

No,I know you wouldn't do
that,because you're never wrong.

What I want you to do is see
a shrink and get some meds.

I think I'd rather
have that trip to cabo.

You need help,danny.

- You're afraid.
- Afraid of what?

That I might be right.

That I might actually
be telling you the truth.

You calling me crazy is your
way of staying in denial.

You're a piece of work,you know that?

I knew this was a bad idea.

I thought maybe for a second you could put
our crap aside and just be a cop.I was wrong.

- Dan.
- What?

What?

Did you get chased by the cops in 1995
for passing a counterfeit $20 bill?

Yes.Yes,it was a $20 from 2003.

The cabbie sicced a cop
on me.I barely outran him.

How did you know about that?

I didn't say it was a cabbie.

yeah,if I remember...

the whole emily kelso thing took
place a couple of blocks that way,

but that place is long gone.

Yeah,you can't stop progress.

Not if there's profit in it.

So just take me back to '92.

Police report says there
was a rave party that night.

- Did you know about it?
- Wish I had.

Those people were in and out
of my buildings all the time.

You try showing a space
after they've trashed it.

- I hear you.
- So,why's this coming up now?

We review these cold
cases every now and agaiN.

It's routine.

All right,well,listen,anything
you need,just give me the word.

You got it,and if I do turn anything
up,you'll be the first to know.

- Okay.
- Okay.

There you go.

Piping hot.

You're a prince.Thank you.

Hey,lady,you forgot your paper.

Jewish State Founded In Palestine.

Your really old paper.

Best in the city.

Really delicious.I think I used
to buy from his grandfather.

Are you going to eat that
or just talk about it?

- I got it for you.
- Oh,great.

Okay,so who are we looking for?

Emily... she's probably around 15 now.

Foster kid,like you were,at least that's
what you told me when we were together.

That wasn't a lie.

Except back then,they called me a slant.

That was swell.

I don't see her.

There's no tourists around here.

When you're a runaway,you
look for the easy mark.

- Let's try over here.
- Why not?

Listen,I know stumbling through the past gets
old real quick,but you did save this girl.

Yeah,from a kidnapper who's still
a free man and got away with murder.

So how's that for irony?

That's part of the job description.

- you know I saw you.
- What?

Past you,in '92,at a rave party.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I vaguely remember that phase.

- Right before we met,right?
- Right.

You were something.

best thing about '92,

beat the hell out of '48.

I guess stumbling through history
hasn't been all that bad,right?

I stumbled on you,didn't I?

No,I want to finish this!

I want my full commission!

Ten bucks per head.

I get half!

Hey,let her go!

I'm sorry,prince valiant.

You want to mind your own business?

No,I want to mind yours.

Take a walk.

See the sights.

- thanks.
- Sure.

Emily?

- You're...
- yeah.

I understand.

Got it.Thank you.

- Hey,pace yourself.
- It's hard.

How'd you find me?

I'd rather know how you stayed hidden.

Social services lost track of you.

You trying to disappear?

I don't like anybody they put me with.

So how are you?

I know it's been a few
years since it happened.

- I put all that behind me.
- Good.

Is that why you never identified
the kidnapper to the police?

I couldn't remember what he looked like.

Didn't really want to.

Emily...

is there a bathroom I could use?

- I'd like to clean up a little bit.
- Sure.

Towels are under the sink.

so what happened to her real family?

The caseworker said her mother terminated
parental rights when she was three.

- And the father?
- San quentin.

- 15 years left.
- My god.

It's amazing she survived.

It's part of the skill set.

So how are we gonna play this?

Well,my past self's at work.

Your past self is what?

Interning at the D.A.'S office.

That's perfect... you can take her to social
services,get her placed in a good home.

What are you gonna do?

What she never could...
find the man who did this.

And what?Put a bullet in his head?

Connect him to the crime.Alert
the cops.I don't know.

Dan,didn't you learn
anything from the earthquake?

This is different.

You showed up at the park because
you're supposed to help emily,

not be running with a vendetta.

Bennett's gonna kidnap another
girl,if he hasn't already.

- Then let it happen.
- Are you kidding me?!

It's history,dan,let it stay that way.

You're supposed to be following your...

instincts,right?So
what happens if I don't?

It never ends well.

What does that mean?!

Liv,i'm gonna do this.

Whatever happens,I can handle it.

So nice to meet you.

Hey,this,uh,this lipstick is kinda neat.

It's like...

rich.

It's vintage.

I like y'all's place.

It's not really our place.

Isn't this all your stuff up in here?

It's complicated.

Wow,whole new you.

Yeah,figured I should tame the look.

Well,you look good.

Except...

I think that lipstick
might have been a bad idea.

yeah,you're probably right.

The more adorable the better.

I'm gonna find you a really good family.

Hey,long as they feed me,I can deal.

It's like tupac says,"keep
your head up," right?

Yeah.

I'm not,um,gonna have to
testify or anything,right?

About the kidnapping?

Well,you need to talk to someone,emily.

It's the only way you're
going to get past all of this.

I could...

if people would let me.

Hi,there.

Yeah,just checking in.

Okay,all right.

That's fine.

See ya.

Uh,I got his number,right.That's good.

You call up mark?

anthony,that's now how we
treat other living things.

Give me back.

zack!

He started it!

Zack!

Dude,it's a whole new operating system.

So far,it's way more simple,yeah.

Everyone went out for tacos.I'm
just,uh,I'm just hanging.

I can't get enough of this online stuff.

They've got this thing,it's
called,um,it's called a "chat room."

It's like those old 976 party lines,

except it's not three
bucks a minute or whatever.

yeah,you meet people.

All kinds.

Whoa.

Hey,look,I gotta go.

Yeah,okay,I will.

Bye.

Excuse me.

Can I help you with something?

- I was just...
- you mind putting that down?

You don't remember me,do you?

Uh,yeah,afraid not.

About three years ago,a little rave
party about four or five blocks from here?

These listings,which one's
got the next little girl?

Or haven't you found her yet?

That's why you're
cruising the net,right?

No!No...

well,yeah,of course it hurts.

You hit himpretty hard.

And listen,young man,just because
nicholas takes everyone else's toys,

doesn't make you the sheriff
of the playground,okay?

I still don't feel good.My head hurts.

Well,I'll get you some medicine.

You hungry?

You want grilled cheese?

Can I still play the...

- the wii?
- No.

- For how long?
- We'll let your dad decide.

Zack?

zack?

Zack!

Zack?

Zack,where are you?Zack!

Oh,dan,god!How did you...?

I just...

- got here.
- Well,zack's missing.

- What?
- He disappeared.

He-he said that his head
was hurting,and then he...

vanished.

Zack?Zack?

Zack?

Zack?

Zack,you in here?

Zack!

come on.

Oh,my god.

- What are you doing?
- I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I thought if i could disappear,then
you would have to come save me.

You would have to come find me.

I found you,okay?

I found you.

Emily kelso.

Yeah,I remember her.

My parents volunteered for the
search for her when I was a kid.

- But she turned up eventually,right?
- Yeah,mystery man at the scene.

He pulled her frombehind a brick wall.

And dan thinks that this bennett
guy went on to kidnap another girl?

Kidnap and murder.

Micaela martinez.Also a foster kid.

She turned up dead in 2001.

That's horrible.

Dan says the bennett guy was cruising
internet chat rooms as far back as '95.

Back when that stuff just started.

They keep internet
records back that far?

I don't know.

Well,I mean,how does dan
know?I mean,have you...

seen his research?

If you want to say
something,theresa,say it.

Yesterday,you thought he
was suffering from delusions,

and now it seems
you're buying into them.

No,I'm not buying into
anything.I'm just helping him out.

Well,he certainly needs it,right?

I mean,it's a big story.

What,you think he's making all
this up just to get a scoop?

Come on,you don't know my brother.

If you find anything in there,

I'm buying lunch for
the rest of the week.

Well,leave a nice tip.

What?

- hello?
- You don't answer your phones.Where the hell you guys been?

- I've been trying to reach you for 20 minutes.
- Hey,quality time with zack.

- Why,what's going on?
- Put dan on.

- Uh,he can'T.He's just...
- katie,put dan on now.

Hon?It's jack.

He's,uh...

he's acting like jack.

Thanks.

- What?
- Okay,micaela martinez?

Here's the thing.Her last foster
parents,they were software designers.

They had a lot of computers
in their place and they said...

- she spent a lot of time in chat rooms.
- Yes.

- Can you do something or not?
- Well,I can dig.

No matter how much I dig,I don't think
I can get chat room logs that far back.

- So you can't connect her to bennett?
- I'll do what I can.

- Either way,I'm putting his ass under surveillance.
- Okay.Good.

Everything cool?

Katie didn't sound like herself.

Oh,zack got suspended today.

- Suspended?
- Yeah.

It's a long story.

- I gotta roll.
- All right,go.

Jack,thanks.Does this mean you're...

coming around on my...

- condition?
- I'm not gonna worry about that now.

I'm just gonna stick to good,old-fashioned police
work and maybe we can bring this thing home.

Then everything will
be right with the world.

Right.

Okay.

This guy had a ride through the real estate
boom like you wouldn't believe... all condos.

if I know which buildings he sold,then I
can figure out where he put the next girl.

Your brother faxed that.

Emily kelso...

she was arrested a couple of years
after I left her for dealing ecstasy.

I'm sure you'll change her life.

Katie,I'm sorry.I know
it's been a hell of a day.

Yeah.

Listen,we need to figure out
what's happening to you,dan.

We need to figure it
out so we can fix it.

Maybe if I can help emily,maybe
if I help enough people,it'll stop.

- Maybe.
- Maybe isn't good enough.

I am trying to be strong,I really
am,but it's not getting any better.

It's getting worse.

thought I'd run into you.

Ha.That's funny.

- Is this 2001?
- Yeah.

Then we don't have a lot of time.

Hey.

Hey,you guys,want some?

What are you selling?

Happiness.

Comes in a pill these days.

Maybe you're not taking enough.

Livia.

Oh,my god.

How did you...?

What are you guys doing here?

You didn't stay with your foster family.

Look,um...

I'm really busy right now,but
it was good seein' y'all.

Don't walk away,emily,or you're gonna
end up with a family you don't want.

Those two?

Sfpd.

Narcotics division.

They ran a couple of
stings in this park.

You were one of their
biggest catches,emily.

You talk about it like
it's already happene

Emily,you're still hurting.

You haven't let go of what happened
to you,of what aeden did to you.

Leave me alone.

He's a monster.He kidnapped you.

No!He didn't!

What are you talking about,emily?

I saw where he put you.

I met him on a 976 line.

I snuck outof the house to meet him.

That's how he got me.

That's why you didn't
identify him to the police.

You were afraid they'd find out.

Please,just...

What the hell is going on?

- Well,look who's still running the business.
- Do I know you?

Don't you remember me?

Am I supposed to?

Emily's coming with us.

I don't think so.

Hey,hey...

Wow.Where did that come from?

Foster kid.

Y-y-you
can't do this.

I have no place to go!

Emily...

livia's gonna to get you back
to your foster family,trust me.

Emily,you don't have to worry
about aeden bennett anymore.

- Dan...
- I need the car.

Are you hungry?

Get a soup,and give us a second,okay?

We're doing this again?

There's another girl.

She ended up dead,but it was later.

It was now,2001.

- She's not your mission.
- Listen to me.

I know which condo
he's building right now.

- I know where bennett is keeping her.
- Bennett's not the issue.

How do youknow?

Whatever's doing this to us didn't
stop me from finding him in the present.

Even jack thinks there's a connection.

Oh,jack's helping you?

Dan,you are taking this way too far.

I am not going to let her die.

Now give me the keys.

- It won't end well.
- Why?Tell me why.

'Cause you'll start to change
something you're not supposed to change.

- Like what?!
- Just trust me,dan.

Don't go off the rails.

You know what katie said to me just now?

Just now,just before I got here?

"It's getting worse," she said.

Worse.My life is slipping through my hands,and
you're talking about some kind of order to all this...

all I see is chaos.

- That's because you're blaming yourself.
- What?!

You're blaming yourself for zack and katie
and you've no other way to take out your anger,

so you're taking it out on bennett!

Do I get the car or not?

hey,buddy.

You're supposed to
begetting some shut-eye.

The universe is a crazy place,huh?

Maybe one day we'll make sense of it.

no,no,no,no.

No,no.

you gotta stay asleep,gotta go to sleep.

Or daddy's gonna get caught.

And make a real mess of
everything,you know?Hey

I don't know the words to sing

twinkle,twinkle,little star

Martha,hi.

Didn't you take katie out to dinner?

I am...I'm there...

I'm headed there.

- You left with her.

I just forgot her present.

There's some,uh,prep involved.

And,martha,uh...

I was never here,all right?

- Okay.
- Great.Thanks.

where is she?!

Six years just flew by,right?

Who the hell are you?

Just a guy with a crowbar.

Micaela?

I found you.

hey,baby.

What's the matter,you can't sleep?

No.

You worried about dad?

Yeah.

Do you get mad at him?

I don't know.

And you know,sometimes I get mad.

But I miss him.

But then I realize that
dad's job is important.

Why?

I don't know.

I think because he helps people.

Like who?

I think that's one of those answers that
maybe you're notold enough to understand.

Maybe I'm not even old
enough to understand it.

But he'll come home.

He always does.

Nice work.

How's emily?

I talked to her case worker who spoke
with the last family she was with.

They're going to help her out
until she can get an apartment.

Is that hugh?

Yeah,I called him up,gave him the tip.

Wow,you're really
tossing out the rule book.

Listen,back at the park...

don't apologize.

You got a right to be steamed.

This thing we do,it's
not an exact science.

Is it even a science?

It happens.

Just like the bumper sticker says.

I hope you're right about this one.

Well,time will tell.

Looking through my greatest hits,or
just wallowing in your own inadequacy?

This is a pretty big
scoop for you,isn't it?

Got a tip in the middle of the night.

Never did figure out who it was.

- Some tip.
- Oh,I remember it.

Bennett was P.O.'D.

Kept ranting about how some guy
set him up,tied him up for the cops.

Well,that's gotta suck.

Well,I guess the
hoosegow set him straight.

Did six years on a ten-year sentence.

Got out a couple of months
ago on good behavior.

- Heard he went to thailand.
- Nice.

So how does this fill my pages?

It led me to a think
piece on the soma district.

15 years ago,it was all abandoned
warehouses and rave parties,

crime-ridden,all that...

now it's an ocean of condos.

Overpriced,overbuilt,straining
the resources.

Is that progress?

I got a couple of city
council members who think not.

Mm,a piece like that is gonna make it
hard for the sales jerks to move condo ads.

- I like it.When do I get it?
- Tomorrow.

Right now I'm takingmy
kid for a haircut.

Whatever.

See,livia?

I was right.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You got a second?
- Barely.What's up?

I just,uh...

I've been thinking about what's
been happening with you...

- going back in time and seeing livia...
- right.

Can I call you
tomorrow?I'm sorry,I got...

what are you doing?

We should talk.

- It's a business card for a shrink,jack.
- Yeah,she's good.

She handles most of our edp'S.

Emotionally disturbed persons,jack?

I set an appointment
for you tomorrow morning.

- I thought we moved past...
- what?

Oh,my god.

Oh,my god,we never talked about bennett.

- Who's bennett?
- We never had those conversations.

- You never questioned him
- what the hell are you talking about

Because I sent him to
prison six years ago,jack.

- I changed the time line...
- all right,don't start.

I changed history,jack,including yours.

Dan.

You're sick.

Okay,but you're also my brother.

And I'm giving you a chance
to handle this on your own.

You have an appointment at 8:00 A.M.

I'm calling the doc at
8:05... if you haven't shown,

I'm going to file a 51-50 and force you
into 72 hours of court-ordered supervision.

Okay,I got it.I got it.

Thank you.

Can I go now?
