Quantum Leap (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - It's a Disaster! - full transcript
Dr. Ben Song
risked everything
when he used the
Quantum Leap Accelerator
to travel back in time.
Now, our team's working
to find out why
as he leaps between bodies
with no memory of who he is...
He still has one hope...
that his next leap
takes him back to the place
and people he calls home.
Look, it's kinda
like our first date.
Totally.
It's... it's exactly like that.
I may not remember
the specifics,
but I remember how I feel,
and how much I care about you,
Addison,
and that I'll do anything
to find my way back to you
so we could start over,
build new memories together.
There's nothing I want
more than that, Ben.
Is it possible
to kiss a hologram?
Because I really want to
right now.
Whoa.
You made a serious
miscalculation
coming here, Ben.
- Did he just call you Ben?
- How did you know my name?
I know everything about you,
Dr. Ben Song
from the year 2022.
I know what you're doing.
But if you value your life,
you need to stop following me.
Do you understand?
Did you just see that?
Did someone just
recognize Ben?
- How?
- They knew his name.
They literally called him
Dr. Ben Song from 2022.
I was more concerned with the
"stop following me if you know
what's good for you" part.
How is this possible?
May... maybe they're
another time traveler.
No.
Another leaper,
someone else traveling
through time just like Ben.
Another leaper?
If they're using technology
that's similar to ours,
then they would see Ben as Ben,
the exact same way that we do
in the imaging chamber.
- It's the only explanation.
- Similar technology?
Uh, this is
a one-of-a-kind setup.
That we know of.
Okay, is this why Ben leapt?
To follow this person?
Follow them where?
A-and why?
And what is going on?
When I was a kid
and my parents broke up,
I blamed my mom.
Probably because I barely
saw my dad after that.
And she was the only one
still around to be mad at.
You know, I...
I took the job at St. Luke's
because I...
I thought it would
make our lives better.
We've been stuck in a rut
for a long time.
I... I thought
maybe a change of venue,
some more money in our pockets,
but...
Hey!
But it didn't.
John, are you even
listening to me?
Um.
Sorry.
Uh, yes.
We're in San Francisco, right?
I get it.
You didn't wanna move here.
You've made that very clear.
I tried, John.
I went to therapy,
I... I changed my hours
to better suit your...
I've been killing myself
trying to make this work.
But I... I... I can't.
I can't do it anymore.
I want a divorce.
Oh.
From me?
Please don't joke
or be dismissive right now.
I'm not...
The Battle
of the Bay continues.
Game Three
of the 1989 World Series,
the Oakland Athletics against
the San Francisco Giants.
- I'm Al Michaels...
- Wait a minute.
What year is it?
1989.
John, did you hear
anything I just said?
I don't think I can be married
to you anymore.
They're not gonna play.
This game got canceled.
We need to go.
We need to go, now.
No, no.
We need to talk.
You can't keep running...
Everything is about
to collapse around us.
It already has.
I'm done, John.
And if you're not gonna
fight for us any...
Please, we need to go, okay?
We need to go.
Everybody, we need
to get out of here, now!
- Holy...
- I got you!
Look out!
It's over.
- Oh, my God!
- It's okay, ma'am.
Thank God!
Are you okay?
Yeah, I think so.
Are you?
Yeah.
How did you know
that was gonna happen?
I don't know.
I just...
remembered it.
My husband's been hurt bad!
Somebody, my husband!
It's okay, it's okay.
Hey, I'm a doctor.
My name's Naomi.
Let me take a look.
I'll try and find help!
Stop!
Hey, stop!
Please, we have injured
down the street.
- You gotta get to them.
- On it.
- Hey.
- Oh, thank God.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.
Are you okay?
Who was that guy
at Salvation?
He recognized me.
You saw that, right?
Yeah, I... we think
he's another leaper.
Another leaper? Like another
person leaping through time?
How is that possible?
Uh, we don't know yet.
Look, there's a lot of
things we don't understand.
Well, that's comforting.
Look, the entire team
is on it.
Is this why I left in the
first place, to follow them?
We're asking
the same questions.
But... and you're
not gonna like this,
but you can't focus
on that right now.
How could I possibly
think about anything else?
You have to focus
on this leap.
Let us worry about
the last one.
I know, I know.
But if you don't keep
making it through these leaps,
you will get stuck in the past.
Okay?
Please, for me, for you.
Let's just focus on this one.
Okay.
All right.
Uh...
Hey.
Okay, it looks like Ziggy says
you jumped into John Harvey?
Yeah, from what I can tell,
not the greatest dude.
Any idea why I'm here?
I'm having a hard time
getting a reading.
Well, his... his wife
asked me for a divorce,
justifiably it sounds like.
But I can't be
here to fix that.
- Uh...
- John.
Oh.
- Oh, ambulance got to you?
- Yeah. I got him stabilized.
He's on his way
to the hospital.
Come on.
We have to get home and
make sure Jason's okay.
Jason?
- Our son?
- Yeah. Oh, our son.
I love Jason so much.
Where's... where...
You lead the way.
Okay.
I gotta switch
his hand link out.
I'll meet you at the house.
This handlink's messed up.
I'll run diagnostics on it,
but you can use an old version
in the meantime.
Hey.
- I know.
- Nice.
What do you have
on the new leaper?
Well, we are
calling them Leaper X.
No, we are not.
It was worth a shot.
So it's been 12 hours.
What do we think
is happening here?
And I want this
in plain English, please.
So we're looking at
three possible scenarios.
Number one,
a foreign government
somehow got a hold
of the schematics
for the quantum leap machine
and built one of their own.
Unlikely.
I feel like the CIA would've
at least picked up chatter
- and let me know.
- Yeah.
And for what it's worth,
the other leaper
was using an American accent.
Fair point.
So scenario number two,
a private company
is behind this.
Some billionaire
or defense contractor
got enough pieces
of this shared with them
and can now travel
through time.
Elon Musk or Zuck
being able to control the past?
Ugh.
That's terrifying.
We made sure that
no single contractor
had the plans for this facility
when we were constructing it.
We took every effort
to make sure no one knew
what we were building
down here.
But it is possible.
Scenario number three,
and this is a real mind... cuss.
So full warning.
Already don't like it.
Someone's using our facility
to leap.
No.
That's not possible.
Right?
We would've gotten an alert,
like when Ben jumped.
No, we wouldn't, not if
they're using it in the future.
Wait.
So you're saying...
We don't know
who's controlling the program
five years from now,
ten years from now,
50 years from now.
The person you ran into
may not have jumped yet,
but will in the future.
This makes my head hurt.
Yeah.
You are not the only one.
I don't want theories.
I don't want scenarios.
You have access to
the most powerful
quantum computer in the world.
I want to know what we're
really dealing with here, now.
Jason?
Jason?
He's not here.
Let me check Brandon's house.
Well, they look happy.
They are not.
Sounds like this has
been coming for a while,
irreconcilable differences.
I can't imagine I'm here
to save their marriage.
I know.
Any word from the brain trust?
Lot of theories,
not a lot of answers.
Cool.
Oh, this has me...
Are my parents still together?
Are they alive?
I'm sorry, Ben.
Uh, you didn't really have
a relationship with your dad.
Your mom raised you.
She brought you to the States
when you were nine.
Honestly, you didn't
really talk about her much.
All I know is that she died
when you were in high school.
Ben.
Speaking Korean...
Speaking Korean...
I remember her.
Really?
What do you remember?
Her cooking.
The smell is...
so comforting.
Feeling safe.
Feeling so safe.
That's it.
I never talk about her?
No.
There were a lot
of things about you
that were still
a mystery to me.
I'm sorry for adding more.
Are you close
with your parents?
Um, it's complicated.
Probably would take longer
to catch you up
than we have time for.
They're both still alive,
though.
Okay.
You think Jason tore this up?
Well, his parents
are getting divorced.
I mean, can you blame him?
Yeah, but I get
the sense from Naomi
she hadn't told anyone.
Addison, where's this kid?
Oh, no.
Jason Harvey died in the
aftermath of the earthquake.
Ben, that's what
you're here to do.
You have to save Jason.
- We have their photo.
- What?
Leaper X.
We're not calling them that.
I know.
But we have their photo.
I pulled it from
the imaging chamber feed.
How is that possible?
I thought you might ask.
Can you come downstairs?
I set up some props
to make this less brain hurt-y.
You...
So where'd you get those?
Maduka has got
a whole diorama thing
going on in his office.
It started off
kinda small and fun,
but it's ballooned
into this whole thing
where I think we're all just
kinda worried about him now.
Stay on target, Jen.
Right. Sorry.
Okay.
So this represents
one of our hosts,
one of the people
Ben leaps into.
On his last leap,
he was Diego de La Cruz.
Okay.
So to the world,
Ben's walking around,
and he still looks like Diego,
right?
Even to Ben.
When Ben looks in the mirror,
it's Diego he sees.
Jen, I know all this.
I'm building to a thing,
Magic.
Build faster.
Okay.
So we can monitor Ben
in the past
through the imaging chamber
here
because of the way
the imaging chamber feed works,
when Addison is in there,
she doesn't see Diego.
She sees Ben as Ben.
- Got it?
- Yes, of course.
So is the cowboy, the host
our other leaper jumped into.
To the outside world,
they look like the cowboy.
But if they're using quantum
leap technology like ours,
when we see them
in the imaging chamber...
We wouldn't see the cowboy.
We'd see them,
what they actually look like.
I mean,
that's my theory at least.
And if we know
what they look like...
We can run their photo scan
through the NSA databases,
see if we get a hit.
And put a name to the face.
Nice work.
Ian!
Look,
I don't wanna scare you,
but basically
everyone who's alive
has an image of their face
in one database or another.
I mean, we're practically
doing it to ourselves.
If we're lucky,
we'll get a hit from a DMV
or something that shows up
with a lot of additional info.
But worst case scenario,
we get a hit,
we at least know that they're
not far off in the future.
I just can't get my mind
around a private company
running its own
quantum leap program.
It would be very, very bad.
You do realize that this
could take, like, a week,
right?
A week?
There are hundreds
of thousands of databases.
I mean,
this is trillions of images
that it has to sort through
and compare.
- I can't wait that long.
- God.
Sometimes I wish Ben were here
to explain to you
how amazing
what I'm doing is
and how it can't be rushed.
It's gonna take
what it's gonna...
Take.
We have a hit.
How did you do that?
- Magic.
- Okay.
Whoa.
We got a lot here.
Richard Martinez,
he's a Marine, pretty new one.
Did one tour,
won a bunch of medals,
stationed in Camp Pendleton.
That's right down the road
from here.
Are you sure he is... he's...
Say it.
You know you wanna say it.
Are you sure he's Leaper X?
Well, unless he swapped faces
with someone in the past,
then, yes, this is 100% him.
Call Pendleton.
I want to know
where this guy is right now.
- On it.
- Pull Addison.
I want her to confirm this
is the guy she saw in there.
We got him to say it.
How are we supposed
to find him
in the middle of an earthquake?
We don't even know
if he's still alive.
Ian, where we are we at
with Ziggy?
Ziggy said
there's a 93% chance
that Ben is there
to save Jason,
so he must still be alive.
And I'll dive into the records
and see if I can find out more.
But Addison, we're gonna
need you to step out.
- We think we have our guy ID'd.
- Okay. Stand by.
Hey, Brandon just told
me he spoke with Jason
two hours ago,
and he was really upset,
that he wanted to go home.
But he didn't come back.
- Did he?
- No.
This doesn't make any sense.
Where would he have gone?
I don't know,
but look at this.
Is there any way he could've
found out about the divorce?
Oh, my God.
I was on the phone
this morning with a lawyer.
He must've overheard me.
This is my fault.
He's out there alone.
He could be hurt.
- He could be...
- Hey, hey.
I know you're scared.
I am, too.
But we're not gonna let
anything happen to him, okay?
Do you have any idea
where he would go?
I don't know.
Come on, Naomi.
Think.
He must have a favorite place
in the city.
Well, you would know better
than I would.
Since we've moved,
he's been so distant with me.
We... we moved from Oakland.
That's why he's an A's fan.
What are you saying?
Brandon said Jason
wanted to go home.
This picture of us,
that was from our old place.
Maybe that's where he's going.
It makes sense.
We were so happy there,
and he always says
how much he misses it.
Ben, Ian just forwarded me
public records.
The Harveys' old apartment
building
collapsed in the quake.
It went down at 7:34 p.m.
That's an hour and a half
from now.
- Oakland's that way.
- We gotta go, now.
But it's across the Bay.
How are we gonna get there?
- Working on it.
- Uh, bridge is down.
Ferries and trains
aren't running either.
But the BART does run
under the Bay.
Are you crazy?
We can't take the BART.
I didn't say anything
about the BART.
But there's an
auxiliary tunnel that
runs parallel to the tracks.
- You can walk it.
- We can walk it. Come on.
You just said
you didn't want to.
I was convinced otherwise.
All right.
Let's just get there.
Ben, I have to check
on something.
I'll be back as soon as I can.
Be careful.
Power outages
and wire services
are now coming in
with other reports.
The entire upper deck,
it just seemed to collapse
during the shaking.
Getting reports now that
at least 50 people
are dead tonight.
Whoa.
Yeah, that's him.
Who is he?
Sergeant Richard Martinez.
He's a Marine out at Pendleton.
- He's currently on leave.
- That's convenient.
The CO's pretty sure
he's visiting his mom in
El Cerrito.
You have an address?
I'm hurt you had to ask.
We're gonna go talk
to this guy.
He'd been on mission,
he still needs
to leap at the end of this.
Yeah. He's good.
He's remembering more.
Good, 'cause whether it's Ben
or this Martinez guy,
someone is gonna tell me what
the hell is going on, today.
It Is 6:30 p.m., dark.
Power, phones, water is out
around San Francisco.
Emergency crews are trying
to look for victims.
We have one report,
KRON Television,
saying that 53 people
are dead on the bridge.
Pretty sure
it's the same time as it was
when you checked your watch
ten seconds ago.
Are we really not
gonna talk about this?
About what?
Oakland.
You can say it.
We never should've left.
I promise
I wasn't gonna say that.
No, but it is
what you're thinking.
I'm the one who wanted to move.
I thought the job
at St. Luke's
was gonna be great
for all of us.
It got us into a better place,
Jason into a better school.
You know how smart he is.
But all he saw
was leaving his...
His friends, his home,
his life.
I don't wanna be here!
Come back.
And he resents you for it.
- Maybe I made a mistake.
- No.
You did what you thought
was best for this family.
You're a good mom.
I can see that.
Am I?
I work all the time.
I barely see the two of you.
And... and when I do,
Jason's so angry with me.
And now, with this...
This divorce,
I'm afraid
he's gonna hate me forever.
Somebody, help us!
Okay, if he's working
for a third party,
how do you wanna play this?
I wanna grab him by the
collar and start yelling,
"Are you illegally
leaping through time?"
Magic, rare moment
of sarcasm for you.
I dig it.
I think our only play here
is to get him talking,
see what we can find out.
Got it.
Good cop, good cop.
Something like that.
- Can I help you?
- Hello. Richard Martinez?
Yes.
Admiral Herbert Williams.
I hope it's okay.
Your CO gave me
your home address.
Come in, sir.
In for what?
Whatever.
I... I don't understand.
Sir, an admiral just showed
up at my doorstep unannounced
in plain clothes
with a real serious vibe.
This is about some special ops
or secret mission,
you had me at hello.
I'm in, sir.
Well, I appreciate that.
But that's not what...
May we come in?
Yeah.
Really, Mrs. Martinez,
thank you,
but we're not hungry.
Oh, that won't stop her, sir.
Gracias.
Can we ask you
some questions?
Of course.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I didn't catch your name.
I didn't drop it.
You got an impressive folder,
Sergeant.
Is there a medal
or commendation
they haven't given you yet?
Yes, ma'am.
There are many.
That was sarcasm, Martinez.
I detected that.
Yes.
We don't pay you enough,
do we?
Sir?
Considering the risk
you have to take,
constantly putting your life
on the line,
you're not even
clearing six figures.
I'm fairly compensated, sir.
Money is not my
main motivation.
Then what is?
My parents came here
from Mérida when I was nine.
My brothers were six and seven.
The risk we took
just to get here...
This country gave us stability,
gave us safety,
gave us a good living.
I'm sorry.
I still get emotional
just thinking about it.
That's why you joined?
Ma'am,
I joined for the one thing
America didn't give me:
Citizenship.
I love this country.
I wanna stay,
I wanna vote.
I wanna protect it
from enemies,
both foreign and domestic.
So if there's a mission
that needs me, I'm in, sir.
No questions asked.
Just point me
in the right direction.
It's forbidden to moonlight
during active service.
You're aware of that, right?
Ma'am?
You can't rent yourself out
to private companies,
foreign entities,
even in your spare time.
You do understand that, yes?
Ma'am, no disrespect,
but what free time
would that be?
This is the first time
that I've been back home
in over a year.
Am I...
Permission to speak freely?
Go ahead.
Am I in any sort
of trouble here, sir?
I don't understand
what's going on.
Did I do something wrong
or improper?
Because if I did,
I swear it wasn't on purpose.
Look, I can correct
that behavior.
Just let me know what I did.
Look,
and I never say this,
but I think
he's telling the truth.
Yeah.
I do too.
But let's do this
by the numbers.
Dig into his life, his family.
See if there's any
money swirling around
we should know about,
any secrets we don't see.
On it.
Please, someone help!
Oh, God.
- Help!
- Someone call 911!
Help! The door's stuck!
Please help!
Okay.
Hold on.
We're gonna get you out.
We need something
to break the windshield.
Maybe we should wait
for help.
We need to get them out now.
That transformer's coming down.
And if it hits the car,
it's gonna send a current
through the metal frame
and they're all gonna die.
Okay.
- Cover your face!
- Okay!
- Give me your hand.
- You're okay.
You're all right.
Come on.
Okay.
Here you go, here you go.
Naomi, move!
You okay?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
No, no!
Wake up, wake up!
Wake up, wake up.
Wake up, Mom.
Wake up, Mom.
I can't live without you.
- Help!
- Ben, what happened?
She's not breathing.
You need to do CPR.
I don't know how.
Then, you do
a precordial thump.
Okay.
What the hell is that?
Okay, it's
a quick fist strike
to the center of the sternum
designed
to get the heart started.
Just trust me.
It'll work.
I'll make it simple.
Just follow my arc.
You can do this.
Ben, now!
Thank God.
Look at me, look at me.
You're okay.
Ben, the building's
collapsing in 45 minutes.
If you don't get there,
he's gonna die.
You need to find Jason.
I'm gonna bring him back
to you.
I promise.
Ben.
Speaking Korean...
- Speaking Korean...
- No, it doesn't matter!
I don't care!
Speaking Korean...
Ben!
- How much further?
- Quarter mile.
You look like
you're about to pass out.
- I can make it.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
The body you leaped into
hasn't worked out in years.
Walk for a minute.
Okay?
You'll still make it in time.
Ben, what's going on?
Nothing!
I'll walk a minute.
No.
You don't get to do that.
You don't get to hide things
from me anymore.
You're upset
about me leaping.
I am, but right now,
I am upset because I thought
that you trusted me again.
- And clearly, you don't.
- Are you kidding?
You're the only person I trust!
What?
Okay.
I remember.
Remember what, Ben?
I remember how my mom died.
I know why
I never told you about it.
Ben,
you can tell me anything.
The night my mom died,
we got into a huge argument.
I brought home my first
report card from high school.
It was all...
Bs.
She was furious.
You have an IQ of 197.
I can see why.
You did it on purpose.
I was tired of her
telling me how special I was,
that moving us to America was
so I could achieve something.
I just wanted
to be a normal kid.
And I didn't like living
in New York,
so I told her I
hated her for it.
And I took off.
Come back.
When I got home
later that night,
I found her
on the kitchen floor.
Mom.
Mom!
Wake up! Wake up!
Please!
She had a brain aneurysm.
Ben, I'm...
I'm so sorry.
My last moments with my mom
were full of anger.
I never got to tell her
I was sorry
or thank her for everything
she did for me.
But that night changed my life.
No wonder I got obsessed
with physics and time travel.
No wonder I wanted
to join this program.
You can draw a straight line
from that moment to this.
I need to save Jason
and give him the opportunity
to have a relationship
with his mom
like I never could.
The exit's just up there.
Ben, you can do this.
There's still time
to save Jason.
The kid's a boy scout.
I went through all
his financials,
his family's financials.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
He's right, you know.
He hasn't had a free moment
in a long time.
He's been tied up
pretty heavy in the service
since he was 18.
It rules out him
working for the private sector
or a foreign power.
Are you sure this is the guy
from the photo?
100%.
Unless he has a twin?
- He does not.
- Okay.
So Richard Martinez
is Leaper X.
Well, I think more
appropriate phrasing
would be Richard Martinez
will become Leaper X
at some point in the future.
We just don't know when or how.
And unfortunately for us,
neither does he,
at least not yet.
So what do we do?
- Black site him?
- Jen.
I mean, this country's
done it for less.
I'm gonna put him
under tight surveillance.
But if what we're all
thinking is right,
it's not gonna do much good.
For now, at least.
Okay, but what if going
and talking to him today
just set the whole thing off?
How do you mean?
Well, like, so you and Magic,
you go and you talk to him
and he doesn't really
understand why,
so he starts
digging into Magic,
and he finds out all of this
secret stuff, and, eventually...
Boom.
Ten years later, he's a part
of the program and he leaps.
Like did... did we
just make this happen?
Ian, I can't
tie my brain in pretzels
about what's gonna happen
in the future.
We need to focus on the present
and get back to Ben and Addison
in the past.
Our lives are so insane.
Yeah, I heard it.
Excuse me.
Jason?
Jason?
Jason.
Ben, he's over here.
Jason!
- Dad!
- Jason.
What are you doing here?
Jason, thank God you're okay.
I got here before
the earthquake hit.
But Mr. Wheeler's
still in there.
- We have to help him.
- I'll get him.
- You stay here.
- No. I'm coming with you.
Ben, if you go
in that building,
Ziggy says there's only a 30%
chance of you making it out.
Listen to me,
no matter what happens,
I need you to promise me you
won't go inside that building.
- Dad!
- Just promise me.
Get out of the way!
It's coming down!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa!
Ben, over here.
Mr. Wheeler?
Mr. Wheeler?
Are you sure he's in there?
Right.
Hologram.
He's inside.
He's just sitting there
in shock.
Mr. Wheeler!
- John?
- Look at me.
What are you doing here?
There's no time to explain.
We need to go.
- Ben, we gotta go.
- No, no, it's my home.
I know,
but this place is coming down.
No time to explain!
I know!
I know, but come on!
Okay.
Ben, look out!
Ben!
Ben.
Ben!
Ben?
I need you to wake up now.
John, I'll go for help.
Ian, how much time
do we have?
The building's gonna
collapse in two minutes.
Ben, I can't lose you,
not like this,
not when you're finally
starting to remember.
You need to wake up.
Ben, I know you can hear me.
Wake up.
Dad!
No, no, no.
You're not supposed to be here!
Dad!
Dad, wake up!
Come on, kid.
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Wake up.
Way to go, kid!
I told you not to come in here.
Mr. Wheeler said
you were trapped.
I can't lift this beam
by myself.
It's too heavy.
Ben, this building's
coming down.
Okay.
We're gonna push on three.
- Okay?
- Okay.
- Ready?
- One, two, three. Push!
Yes.
Jason, go, go, go!
Go, go!
Keep moving!
Go, go!
Don't stop, don't stop,
don't stop!
It's good.
You did good.
Yeah.
It's okay.
- I'm sorry.
- No, don't be sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- You're safe now. You're safe.
You're okay.
You're safe now.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Everything's gonna be okay
from now on.
I'm sorry.
I just missed this place.
I know.
- But you're all right now.
- This doesn't make any sense.
You... you saved him.
You should've leaped.
Dad, what's wrong?
I thought saving you
would be enough,
that you and your mom
would fix things.
But you never did.
Are you kidding?
She doesn't care about me
or this family!
That's not true.
She's gonna divorce you, Dad.
I know.
And I get that
you're angry with her
for moving you away
from here...
but she did it for you.
I know it's hard for you
to see right now,
but one day you will.
And trust me,
when that day comes,
you don't want to look back
at this moment
wishing you had
done things differently,
because that regret
never goes away.
Jason?
Hi, Mom.
Oh, I'm so glad
you're all right.
Thank you, John,
for bringing him back to me.
Well, he had a lot of help.
I am so sorry how you
found out about your dad and I.
- I never wanted that.
- I know.
Dad told me about how
you helped those people.
Are you hurt?
Nothing that can't be healed.
I love you, Mom.
I love you too, sweetheart.
Ben?
Speaking Korean...
Ben, you did it.
Ziggy says that Jason
and Naomi reconcile,
and he goes on
to become a civil engineer.
He helps change the way
buildings are designed
to withstand earthquakes.
His innovations have
been credited
with saving thousands of lives.
Ben, what are you doing?
The phones are working.
It's 1989.
My mother is still alive.
I can call her.
Ben, it is against the rules.
I can't let you do that.
One...
Ben.
Damn it.
I can't remember the number.
You realize, you're about
to leap at any moment?
Addison, please.
I have to call her.
212-177-2350.
Thank you.
Hello?
Mom.
- You got a second?
- Of course. What's up?
Um, so you know how
I figured out that
Ben was using
gravitational navigation,
zig zagging his way
through time,
sort of building up speed
from leap to leap
in order to
get deep into the past?
Yes.
Well, after everything that
happened today with Leaper X...
With Martinez, um,
it got me thinking that
maybe I was looking
at the math wrong.
Okay.
I don't think that Ben
was trying to get to the past.
I think that Ben was trying
to leap into the future.
That shouldn't be possible.
None of this
should be possible, Magic.
I mean, everyone thinks
that something is impossible
until somebody comes around
and figures out that it isn't.
And maybe Ben figured it out.
He certainly is smart enough.
Well, if he did,
you're the only one
smart enough
to figure out how and why.
- Get on it.
- Okay.
I'm sorry.
Yep.
I know I shouldn't have
given Ben the number, but...
You kidding?
I would've done the same thing.
How are you holding up?
I'm okay. Ben is...
He's different in there.
Different how?
Okay, Ben,
old Ben, he was amazing.
Of course he was.
I was gonna marry him.
But the Ben
that's in there, he...
He's more vulnerable,
more open,
more free with his feelings,
in a way that
I'd always hoped we'd get to.
But it feels like I'm falling
even more in love with him.
Despite all of this.
Is that insane?
No.
It's beautiful.
Hey, do you wanna
get dinner,
maybe catch up
on some "Housewives"?
Yes and I guess so, for you.
Those women have their hooks
in you, don't they?
Maybe.
But before anything,
I got to call my mom.
That last leap
did a number on me.
Yes.
Father Davenport, thank God.
I'm afraid it's gotten worse.
Please, come in.
Mellow music playing
on phonograph...
risked everything
when he used the
Quantum Leap Accelerator
to travel back in time.
Now, our team's working
to find out why
as he leaps between bodies
with no memory of who he is...
He still has one hope...
that his next leap
takes him back to the place
and people he calls home.
Look, it's kinda
like our first date.
Totally.
It's... it's exactly like that.
I may not remember
the specifics,
but I remember how I feel,
and how much I care about you,
Addison,
and that I'll do anything
to find my way back to you
so we could start over,
build new memories together.
There's nothing I want
more than that, Ben.
Is it possible
to kiss a hologram?
Because I really want to
right now.
Whoa.
You made a serious
miscalculation
coming here, Ben.
- Did he just call you Ben?
- How did you know my name?
I know everything about you,
Dr. Ben Song
from the year 2022.
I know what you're doing.
But if you value your life,
you need to stop following me.
Do you understand?
Did you just see that?
Did someone just
recognize Ben?
- How?
- They knew his name.
They literally called him
Dr. Ben Song from 2022.
I was more concerned with the
"stop following me if you know
what's good for you" part.
How is this possible?
May... maybe they're
another time traveler.
No.
Another leaper,
someone else traveling
through time just like Ben.
Another leaper?
If they're using technology
that's similar to ours,
then they would see Ben as Ben,
the exact same way that we do
in the imaging chamber.
- It's the only explanation.
- Similar technology?
Uh, this is
a one-of-a-kind setup.
That we know of.
Okay, is this why Ben leapt?
To follow this person?
Follow them where?
A-and why?
And what is going on?
When I was a kid
and my parents broke up,
I blamed my mom.
Probably because I barely
saw my dad after that.
And she was the only one
still around to be mad at.
You know, I...
I took the job at St. Luke's
because I...
I thought it would
make our lives better.
We've been stuck in a rut
for a long time.
I... I thought
maybe a change of venue,
some more money in our pockets,
but...
Hey!
But it didn't.
John, are you even
listening to me?
Um.
Sorry.
Uh, yes.
We're in San Francisco, right?
I get it.
You didn't wanna move here.
You've made that very clear.
I tried, John.
I went to therapy,
I... I changed my hours
to better suit your...
I've been killing myself
trying to make this work.
But I... I... I can't.
I can't do it anymore.
I want a divorce.
Oh.
From me?
Please don't joke
or be dismissive right now.
I'm not...
The Battle
of the Bay continues.
Game Three
of the 1989 World Series,
the Oakland Athletics against
the San Francisco Giants.
- I'm Al Michaels...
- Wait a minute.
What year is it?
1989.
John, did you hear
anything I just said?
I don't think I can be married
to you anymore.
They're not gonna play.
This game got canceled.
We need to go.
We need to go, now.
No, no.
We need to talk.
You can't keep running...
Everything is about
to collapse around us.
It already has.
I'm done, John.
And if you're not gonna
fight for us any...
Please, we need to go, okay?
We need to go.
Everybody, we need
to get out of here, now!
- Holy...
- I got you!
Look out!
It's over.
- Oh, my God!
- It's okay, ma'am.
Thank God!
Are you okay?
Yeah, I think so.
Are you?
Yeah.
How did you know
that was gonna happen?
I don't know.
I just...
remembered it.
My husband's been hurt bad!
Somebody, my husband!
It's okay, it's okay.
Hey, I'm a doctor.
My name's Naomi.
Let me take a look.
I'll try and find help!
Stop!
Hey, stop!
Please, we have injured
down the street.
- You gotta get to them.
- On it.
- Hey.
- Oh, thank God.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.
Are you okay?
Who was that guy
at Salvation?
He recognized me.
You saw that, right?
Yeah, I... we think
he's another leaper.
Another leaper? Like another
person leaping through time?
How is that possible?
Uh, we don't know yet.
Look, there's a lot of
things we don't understand.
Well, that's comforting.
Look, the entire team
is on it.
Is this why I left in the
first place, to follow them?
We're asking
the same questions.
But... and you're
not gonna like this,
but you can't focus
on that right now.
How could I possibly
think about anything else?
You have to focus
on this leap.
Let us worry about
the last one.
I know, I know.
But if you don't keep
making it through these leaps,
you will get stuck in the past.
Okay?
Please, for me, for you.
Let's just focus on this one.
Okay.
All right.
Uh...
Hey.
Okay, it looks like Ziggy says
you jumped into John Harvey?
Yeah, from what I can tell,
not the greatest dude.
Any idea why I'm here?
I'm having a hard time
getting a reading.
Well, his... his wife
asked me for a divorce,
justifiably it sounds like.
But I can't be
here to fix that.
- Uh...
- John.
Oh.
- Oh, ambulance got to you?
- Yeah. I got him stabilized.
He's on his way
to the hospital.
Come on.
We have to get home and
make sure Jason's okay.
Jason?
- Our son?
- Yeah. Oh, our son.
I love Jason so much.
Where's... where...
You lead the way.
Okay.
I gotta switch
his hand link out.
I'll meet you at the house.
This handlink's messed up.
I'll run diagnostics on it,
but you can use an old version
in the meantime.
Hey.
- I know.
- Nice.
What do you have
on the new leaper?
Well, we are
calling them Leaper X.
No, we are not.
It was worth a shot.
So it's been 12 hours.
What do we think
is happening here?
And I want this
in plain English, please.
So we're looking at
three possible scenarios.
Number one,
a foreign government
somehow got a hold
of the schematics
for the quantum leap machine
and built one of their own.
Unlikely.
I feel like the CIA would've
at least picked up chatter
- and let me know.
- Yeah.
And for what it's worth,
the other leaper
was using an American accent.
Fair point.
So scenario number two,
a private company
is behind this.
Some billionaire
or defense contractor
got enough pieces
of this shared with them
and can now travel
through time.
Elon Musk or Zuck
being able to control the past?
Ugh.
That's terrifying.
We made sure that
no single contractor
had the plans for this facility
when we were constructing it.
We took every effort
to make sure no one knew
what we were building
down here.
But it is possible.
Scenario number three,
and this is a real mind... cuss.
So full warning.
Already don't like it.
Someone's using our facility
to leap.
No.
That's not possible.
Right?
We would've gotten an alert,
like when Ben jumped.
No, we wouldn't, not if
they're using it in the future.
Wait.
So you're saying...
We don't know
who's controlling the program
five years from now,
ten years from now,
50 years from now.
The person you ran into
may not have jumped yet,
but will in the future.
This makes my head hurt.
Yeah.
You are not the only one.
I don't want theories.
I don't want scenarios.
You have access to
the most powerful
quantum computer in the world.
I want to know what we're
really dealing with here, now.
Jason?
Jason?
He's not here.
Let me check Brandon's house.
Well, they look happy.
They are not.
Sounds like this has
been coming for a while,
irreconcilable differences.
I can't imagine I'm here
to save their marriage.
I know.
Any word from the brain trust?
Lot of theories,
not a lot of answers.
Cool.
Oh, this has me...
Are my parents still together?
Are they alive?
I'm sorry, Ben.
Uh, you didn't really have
a relationship with your dad.
Your mom raised you.
She brought you to the States
when you were nine.
Honestly, you didn't
really talk about her much.
All I know is that she died
when you were in high school.
Ben.
Speaking Korean...
Speaking Korean...
I remember her.
Really?
What do you remember?
Her cooking.
The smell is...
so comforting.
Feeling safe.
Feeling so safe.
That's it.
I never talk about her?
No.
There were a lot
of things about you
that were still
a mystery to me.
I'm sorry for adding more.
Are you close
with your parents?
Um, it's complicated.
Probably would take longer
to catch you up
than we have time for.
They're both still alive,
though.
Okay.
You think Jason tore this up?
Well, his parents
are getting divorced.
I mean, can you blame him?
Yeah, but I get
the sense from Naomi
she hadn't told anyone.
Addison, where's this kid?
Oh, no.
Jason Harvey died in the
aftermath of the earthquake.
Ben, that's what
you're here to do.
You have to save Jason.
- We have their photo.
- What?
Leaper X.
We're not calling them that.
I know.
But we have their photo.
I pulled it from
the imaging chamber feed.
How is that possible?
I thought you might ask.
Can you come downstairs?
I set up some props
to make this less brain hurt-y.
You...
So where'd you get those?
Maduka has got
a whole diorama thing
going on in his office.
It started off
kinda small and fun,
but it's ballooned
into this whole thing
where I think we're all just
kinda worried about him now.
Stay on target, Jen.
Right. Sorry.
Okay.
So this represents
one of our hosts,
one of the people
Ben leaps into.
On his last leap,
he was Diego de La Cruz.
Okay.
So to the world,
Ben's walking around,
and he still looks like Diego,
right?
Even to Ben.
When Ben looks in the mirror,
it's Diego he sees.
Jen, I know all this.
I'm building to a thing,
Magic.
Build faster.
Okay.
So we can monitor Ben
in the past
through the imaging chamber
here
because of the way
the imaging chamber feed works,
when Addison is in there,
she doesn't see Diego.
She sees Ben as Ben.
- Got it?
- Yes, of course.
So is the cowboy, the host
our other leaper jumped into.
To the outside world,
they look like the cowboy.
But if they're using quantum
leap technology like ours,
when we see them
in the imaging chamber...
We wouldn't see the cowboy.
We'd see them,
what they actually look like.
I mean,
that's my theory at least.
And if we know
what they look like...
We can run their photo scan
through the NSA databases,
see if we get a hit.
And put a name to the face.
Nice work.
Ian!
Look,
I don't wanna scare you,
but basically
everyone who's alive
has an image of their face
in one database or another.
I mean, we're practically
doing it to ourselves.
If we're lucky,
we'll get a hit from a DMV
or something that shows up
with a lot of additional info.
But worst case scenario,
we get a hit,
we at least know that they're
not far off in the future.
I just can't get my mind
around a private company
running its own
quantum leap program.
It would be very, very bad.
You do realize that this
could take, like, a week,
right?
A week?
There are hundreds
of thousands of databases.
I mean,
this is trillions of images
that it has to sort through
and compare.
- I can't wait that long.
- God.
Sometimes I wish Ben were here
to explain to you
how amazing
what I'm doing is
and how it can't be rushed.
It's gonna take
what it's gonna...
Take.
We have a hit.
How did you do that?
- Magic.
- Okay.
Whoa.
We got a lot here.
Richard Martinez,
he's a Marine, pretty new one.
Did one tour,
won a bunch of medals,
stationed in Camp Pendleton.
That's right down the road
from here.
Are you sure he is... he's...
Say it.
You know you wanna say it.
Are you sure he's Leaper X?
Well, unless he swapped faces
with someone in the past,
then, yes, this is 100% him.
Call Pendleton.
I want to know
where this guy is right now.
- On it.
- Pull Addison.
I want her to confirm this
is the guy she saw in there.
We got him to say it.
How are we supposed
to find him
in the middle of an earthquake?
We don't even know
if he's still alive.
Ian, where we are we at
with Ziggy?
Ziggy said
there's a 93% chance
that Ben is there
to save Jason,
so he must still be alive.
And I'll dive into the records
and see if I can find out more.
But Addison, we're gonna
need you to step out.
- We think we have our guy ID'd.
- Okay. Stand by.
Hey, Brandon just told
me he spoke with Jason
two hours ago,
and he was really upset,
that he wanted to go home.
But he didn't come back.
- Did he?
- No.
This doesn't make any sense.
Where would he have gone?
I don't know,
but look at this.
Is there any way he could've
found out about the divorce?
Oh, my God.
I was on the phone
this morning with a lawyer.
He must've overheard me.
This is my fault.
He's out there alone.
He could be hurt.
- He could be...
- Hey, hey.
I know you're scared.
I am, too.
But we're not gonna let
anything happen to him, okay?
Do you have any idea
where he would go?
I don't know.
Come on, Naomi.
Think.
He must have a favorite place
in the city.
Well, you would know better
than I would.
Since we've moved,
he's been so distant with me.
We... we moved from Oakland.
That's why he's an A's fan.
What are you saying?
Brandon said Jason
wanted to go home.
This picture of us,
that was from our old place.
Maybe that's where he's going.
It makes sense.
We were so happy there,
and he always says
how much he misses it.
Ben, Ian just forwarded me
public records.
The Harveys' old apartment
building
collapsed in the quake.
It went down at 7:34 p.m.
That's an hour and a half
from now.
- Oakland's that way.
- We gotta go, now.
But it's across the Bay.
How are we gonna get there?
- Working on it.
- Uh, bridge is down.
Ferries and trains
aren't running either.
But the BART does run
under the Bay.
Are you crazy?
We can't take the BART.
I didn't say anything
about the BART.
But there's an
auxiliary tunnel that
runs parallel to the tracks.
- You can walk it.
- We can walk it. Come on.
You just said
you didn't want to.
I was convinced otherwise.
All right.
Let's just get there.
Ben, I have to check
on something.
I'll be back as soon as I can.
Be careful.
Power outages
and wire services
are now coming in
with other reports.
The entire upper deck,
it just seemed to collapse
during the shaking.
Getting reports now that
at least 50 people
are dead tonight.
Whoa.
Yeah, that's him.
Who is he?
Sergeant Richard Martinez.
He's a Marine out at Pendleton.
- He's currently on leave.
- That's convenient.
The CO's pretty sure
he's visiting his mom in
El Cerrito.
You have an address?
I'm hurt you had to ask.
We're gonna go talk
to this guy.
He'd been on mission,
he still needs
to leap at the end of this.
Yeah. He's good.
He's remembering more.
Good, 'cause whether it's Ben
or this Martinez guy,
someone is gonna tell me what
the hell is going on, today.
It Is 6:30 p.m., dark.
Power, phones, water is out
around San Francisco.
Emergency crews are trying
to look for victims.
We have one report,
KRON Television,
saying that 53 people
are dead on the bridge.
Pretty sure
it's the same time as it was
when you checked your watch
ten seconds ago.
Are we really not
gonna talk about this?
About what?
Oakland.
You can say it.
We never should've left.
I promise
I wasn't gonna say that.
No, but it is
what you're thinking.
I'm the one who wanted to move.
I thought the job
at St. Luke's
was gonna be great
for all of us.
It got us into a better place,
Jason into a better school.
You know how smart he is.
But all he saw
was leaving his...
His friends, his home,
his life.
I don't wanna be here!
Come back.
And he resents you for it.
- Maybe I made a mistake.
- No.
You did what you thought
was best for this family.
You're a good mom.
I can see that.
Am I?
I work all the time.
I barely see the two of you.
And... and when I do,
Jason's so angry with me.
And now, with this...
This divorce,
I'm afraid
he's gonna hate me forever.
Somebody, help us!
Okay, if he's working
for a third party,
how do you wanna play this?
I wanna grab him by the
collar and start yelling,
"Are you illegally
leaping through time?"
Magic, rare moment
of sarcasm for you.
I dig it.
I think our only play here
is to get him talking,
see what we can find out.
Got it.
Good cop, good cop.
Something like that.
- Can I help you?
- Hello. Richard Martinez?
Yes.
Admiral Herbert Williams.
I hope it's okay.
Your CO gave me
your home address.
Come in, sir.
In for what?
Whatever.
I... I don't understand.
Sir, an admiral just showed
up at my doorstep unannounced
in plain clothes
with a real serious vibe.
This is about some special ops
or secret mission,
you had me at hello.
I'm in, sir.
Well, I appreciate that.
But that's not what...
May we come in?
Yeah.
Really, Mrs. Martinez,
thank you,
but we're not hungry.
Oh, that won't stop her, sir.
Gracias.
Can we ask you
some questions?
Of course.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I didn't catch your name.
I didn't drop it.
You got an impressive folder,
Sergeant.
Is there a medal
or commendation
they haven't given you yet?
Yes, ma'am.
There are many.
That was sarcasm, Martinez.
I detected that.
Yes.
We don't pay you enough,
do we?
Sir?
Considering the risk
you have to take,
constantly putting your life
on the line,
you're not even
clearing six figures.
I'm fairly compensated, sir.
Money is not my
main motivation.
Then what is?
My parents came here
from Mérida when I was nine.
My brothers were six and seven.
The risk we took
just to get here...
This country gave us stability,
gave us safety,
gave us a good living.
I'm sorry.
I still get emotional
just thinking about it.
That's why you joined?
Ma'am,
I joined for the one thing
America didn't give me:
Citizenship.
I love this country.
I wanna stay,
I wanna vote.
I wanna protect it
from enemies,
both foreign and domestic.
So if there's a mission
that needs me, I'm in, sir.
No questions asked.
Just point me
in the right direction.
It's forbidden to moonlight
during active service.
You're aware of that, right?
Ma'am?
You can't rent yourself out
to private companies,
foreign entities,
even in your spare time.
You do understand that, yes?
Ma'am, no disrespect,
but what free time
would that be?
This is the first time
that I've been back home
in over a year.
Am I...
Permission to speak freely?
Go ahead.
Am I in any sort
of trouble here, sir?
I don't understand
what's going on.
Did I do something wrong
or improper?
Because if I did,
I swear it wasn't on purpose.
Look, I can correct
that behavior.
Just let me know what I did.
Look,
and I never say this,
but I think
he's telling the truth.
Yeah.
I do too.
But let's do this
by the numbers.
Dig into his life, his family.
See if there's any
money swirling around
we should know about,
any secrets we don't see.
On it.
Please, someone help!
Oh, God.
- Help!
- Someone call 911!
Help! The door's stuck!
Please help!
Okay.
Hold on.
We're gonna get you out.
We need something
to break the windshield.
Maybe we should wait
for help.
We need to get them out now.
That transformer's coming down.
And if it hits the car,
it's gonna send a current
through the metal frame
and they're all gonna die.
Okay.
- Cover your face!
- Okay!
- Give me your hand.
- You're okay.
You're all right.
Come on.
Okay.
Here you go, here you go.
Naomi, move!
You okay?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
No, no!
Wake up, wake up!
Wake up, wake up.
Wake up, Mom.
Wake up, Mom.
I can't live without you.
- Help!
- Ben, what happened?
She's not breathing.
You need to do CPR.
I don't know how.
Then, you do
a precordial thump.
Okay.
What the hell is that?
Okay, it's
a quick fist strike
to the center of the sternum
designed
to get the heart started.
Just trust me.
It'll work.
I'll make it simple.
Just follow my arc.
You can do this.
Ben, now!
Thank God.
Look at me, look at me.
You're okay.
Ben, the building's
collapsing in 45 minutes.
If you don't get there,
he's gonna die.
You need to find Jason.
I'm gonna bring him back
to you.
I promise.
Ben.
Speaking Korean...
- Speaking Korean...
- No, it doesn't matter!
I don't care!
Speaking Korean...
Ben!
- How much further?
- Quarter mile.
You look like
you're about to pass out.
- I can make it.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
The body you leaped into
hasn't worked out in years.
Walk for a minute.
Okay?
You'll still make it in time.
Ben, what's going on?
Nothing!
I'll walk a minute.
No.
You don't get to do that.
You don't get to hide things
from me anymore.
You're upset
about me leaping.
I am, but right now,
I am upset because I thought
that you trusted me again.
- And clearly, you don't.
- Are you kidding?
You're the only person I trust!
What?
Okay.
I remember.
Remember what, Ben?
I remember how my mom died.
I know why
I never told you about it.
Ben,
you can tell me anything.
The night my mom died,
we got into a huge argument.
I brought home my first
report card from high school.
It was all...
Bs.
She was furious.
You have an IQ of 197.
I can see why.
You did it on purpose.
I was tired of her
telling me how special I was,
that moving us to America was
so I could achieve something.
I just wanted
to be a normal kid.
And I didn't like living
in New York,
so I told her I
hated her for it.
And I took off.
Come back.
When I got home
later that night,
I found her
on the kitchen floor.
Mom.
Mom!
Wake up! Wake up!
Please!
She had a brain aneurysm.
Ben, I'm...
I'm so sorry.
My last moments with my mom
were full of anger.
I never got to tell her
I was sorry
or thank her for everything
she did for me.
But that night changed my life.
No wonder I got obsessed
with physics and time travel.
No wonder I wanted
to join this program.
You can draw a straight line
from that moment to this.
I need to save Jason
and give him the opportunity
to have a relationship
with his mom
like I never could.
The exit's just up there.
Ben, you can do this.
There's still time
to save Jason.
The kid's a boy scout.
I went through all
his financials,
his family's financials.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
He's right, you know.
He hasn't had a free moment
in a long time.
He's been tied up
pretty heavy in the service
since he was 18.
It rules out him
working for the private sector
or a foreign power.
Are you sure this is the guy
from the photo?
100%.
Unless he has a twin?
- He does not.
- Okay.
So Richard Martinez
is Leaper X.
Well, I think more
appropriate phrasing
would be Richard Martinez
will become Leaper X
at some point in the future.
We just don't know when or how.
And unfortunately for us,
neither does he,
at least not yet.
So what do we do?
- Black site him?
- Jen.
I mean, this country's
done it for less.
I'm gonna put him
under tight surveillance.
But if what we're all
thinking is right,
it's not gonna do much good.
For now, at least.
Okay, but what if going
and talking to him today
just set the whole thing off?
How do you mean?
Well, like, so you and Magic,
you go and you talk to him
and he doesn't really
understand why,
so he starts
digging into Magic,
and he finds out all of this
secret stuff, and, eventually...
Boom.
Ten years later, he's a part
of the program and he leaps.
Like did... did we
just make this happen?
Ian, I can't
tie my brain in pretzels
about what's gonna happen
in the future.
We need to focus on the present
and get back to Ben and Addison
in the past.
Our lives are so insane.
Yeah, I heard it.
Excuse me.
Jason?
Jason?
Jason.
Ben, he's over here.
Jason!
- Dad!
- Jason.
What are you doing here?
Jason, thank God you're okay.
I got here before
the earthquake hit.
But Mr. Wheeler's
still in there.
- We have to help him.
- I'll get him.
- You stay here.
- No. I'm coming with you.
Ben, if you go
in that building,
Ziggy says there's only a 30%
chance of you making it out.
Listen to me,
no matter what happens,
I need you to promise me you
won't go inside that building.
- Dad!
- Just promise me.
Get out of the way!
It's coming down!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa!
Ben, over here.
Mr. Wheeler?
Mr. Wheeler?
Are you sure he's in there?
Right.
Hologram.
He's inside.
He's just sitting there
in shock.
Mr. Wheeler!
- John?
- Look at me.
What are you doing here?
There's no time to explain.
We need to go.
- Ben, we gotta go.
- No, no, it's my home.
I know,
but this place is coming down.
No time to explain!
I know!
I know, but come on!
Okay.
Ben, look out!
Ben!
Ben.
Ben!
Ben?
I need you to wake up now.
John, I'll go for help.
Ian, how much time
do we have?
The building's gonna
collapse in two minutes.
Ben, I can't lose you,
not like this,
not when you're finally
starting to remember.
You need to wake up.
Ben, I know you can hear me.
Wake up.
Dad!
No, no, no.
You're not supposed to be here!
Dad!
Dad, wake up!
Come on, kid.
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Wake up.
Way to go, kid!
I told you not to come in here.
Mr. Wheeler said
you were trapped.
I can't lift this beam
by myself.
It's too heavy.
Ben, this building's
coming down.
Okay.
We're gonna push on three.
- Okay?
- Okay.
- Ready?
- One, two, three. Push!
Yes.
Jason, go, go, go!
Go, go!
Keep moving!
Go, go!
Don't stop, don't stop,
don't stop!
It's good.
You did good.
Yeah.
It's okay.
- I'm sorry.
- No, don't be sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- You're safe now. You're safe.
You're okay.
You're safe now.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Everything's gonna be okay
from now on.
I'm sorry.
I just missed this place.
I know.
- But you're all right now.
- This doesn't make any sense.
You... you saved him.
You should've leaped.
Dad, what's wrong?
I thought saving you
would be enough,
that you and your mom
would fix things.
But you never did.
Are you kidding?
She doesn't care about me
or this family!
That's not true.
She's gonna divorce you, Dad.
I know.
And I get that
you're angry with her
for moving you away
from here...
but she did it for you.
I know it's hard for you
to see right now,
but one day you will.
And trust me,
when that day comes,
you don't want to look back
at this moment
wishing you had
done things differently,
because that regret
never goes away.
Jason?
Hi, Mom.
Oh, I'm so glad
you're all right.
Thank you, John,
for bringing him back to me.
Well, he had a lot of help.
I am so sorry how you
found out about your dad and I.
- I never wanted that.
- I know.
Dad told me about how
you helped those people.
Are you hurt?
Nothing that can't be healed.
I love you, Mom.
I love you too, sweetheart.
Ben?
Speaking Korean...
Ben, you did it.
Ziggy says that Jason
and Naomi reconcile,
and he goes on
to become a civil engineer.
He helps change the way
buildings are designed
to withstand earthquakes.
His innovations have
been credited
with saving thousands of lives.
Ben, what are you doing?
The phones are working.
It's 1989.
My mother is still alive.
I can call her.
Ben, it is against the rules.
I can't let you do that.
One...
Ben.
Damn it.
I can't remember the number.
You realize, you're about
to leap at any moment?
Addison, please.
I have to call her.
212-177-2350.
Thank you.
Hello?
Mom.
- You got a second?
- Of course. What's up?
Um, so you know how
I figured out that
Ben was using
gravitational navigation,
zig zagging his way
through time,
sort of building up speed
from leap to leap
in order to
get deep into the past?
Yes.
Well, after everything that
happened today with Leaper X...
With Martinez, um,
it got me thinking that
maybe I was looking
at the math wrong.
Okay.
I don't think that Ben
was trying to get to the past.
I think that Ben was trying
to leap into the future.
That shouldn't be possible.
None of this
should be possible, Magic.
I mean, everyone thinks
that something is impossible
until somebody comes around
and figures out that it isn't.
And maybe Ben figured it out.
He certainly is smart enough.
Well, if he did,
you're the only one
smart enough
to figure out how and why.
- Get on it.
- Okay.
I'm sorry.
Yep.
I know I shouldn't have
given Ben the number, but...
You kidding?
I would've done the same thing.
How are you holding up?
I'm okay. Ben is...
He's different in there.
Different how?
Okay, Ben,
old Ben, he was amazing.
Of course he was.
I was gonna marry him.
But the Ben
that's in there, he...
He's more vulnerable,
more open,
more free with his feelings,
in a way that
I'd always hoped we'd get to.
But it feels like I'm falling
even more in love with him.
Despite all of this.
Is that insane?
No.
It's beautiful.
Hey, do you wanna
get dinner,
maybe catch up
on some "Housewives"?
Yes and I guess so, for you.
Those women have their hooks
in you, don't they?
Maybe.
But before anything,
I got to call my mom.
That last leap
did a number on me.
Yes.
Father Davenport, thank God.
I'm afraid it's gotten worse.
Please, come in.
