Men swapping wives in the '70s.
Abby.
Abby? Abby! Abby?! Mom - abby? - Oh,my god! Abby! Abby! Abby! Proudly Presents JourneyMan Season 1 Episode 8 Winterland the other morning on the today show, there was a segment on workplace romance.
Offices are the new singles' bar.
An emotional affair in the workplace worse than a one-night stand.
How's dan? He's good.
He's good,thanks.
We actually have a date,so I got to get going.
Oh.
- Where's he taking you? - Home.
He's cooking me dinner.
I shipped zack off to a friend'S.
Anyone can cook,but will he clean up,too? Okay,okay,we're just being mean now because we're jealous.
Katie,dan is a keeper.
Yeah.
I think so,too.
- Have a good time.
- Bye,guys.
So,she saw her mother having sex with another man? Yeah,and I sent her into the fire.
When I was 14,i walked in on my dad taking a shower, and I couldn't see colors for nine days.
You got off easy.
Abby disappeared.
I read in the archives that she was last seen hitchhiking in '73.
Well,maybe that means you're not done with her.
Isn't that how this works? Uh,I hope not.
Cheers.
I took it to the '70s.
Maybe you should have left it there.
so,um,did you see livia at the swinger's party? What did you guys do? Talk.
You went to a swinger's party and all you did was talk? That and watch the nixon "I am not a crook" speech on the news.
It was a rush to see it on the day that it actually happened.
Honey,I love that you went to a wife-swapping party and it was nixon that turned you on.
So,what,that was it,just orientation? I report to work for real at 10:00 A.
M.
On tuesday.
They've got me on the board of supervisors beat.
You're going to kill.
I'd settle for not getting fired.
I think,uh,we are going to need to get some after-school care for zack and maybe some help around here full-time.
we got two incomes now.
- Dan? - Yeah? For the first time in weeks,I feel - normal.
- That's good.
- It won't last,I know.
- Enjoy it.
right here? Yeah.
Right here.
Thanks for coming in.
This won't take long.
Can't think of a better way of spending my lunch hour than getting grilled by the fbi about a 30-year-old hijacking.
Department policy mandates we audit your incident reports because of your brother's involvement with mccleen's ransom money.
Why? We have to make sure there's no pattern of prior conflicts.
- Oh,come on.
- Can't ia handle this? We're the feds,inspector.
Rock beats scissors.
All right,just do me a favor and let me be the one to tell my brother.
It'd be nice if it worked that way,wouldn't it? Police:Yong Woman Last seen in Green Pikup Abigail Armstrong's abandoned Gremlin,Photo cc Palp Alto,Jan.
2 How'd your dinner go? Good.
The wine,not so much.
And your promised candlestick point follow-up? Skedline's ten minutes away.
Okay.
Excuse me?I'm looking for dan vasser? You found him.
Hi.
Richard garrity.
I'm with the fbi.
Sorry to bother you at work.
Can I ask yousome questions? Sure.
So,what's this about? Hijacking of a commercial airliner in 1975.
- Dylan mccleen? - Yes.
I was doing a story on him,but it didn't pan out.
So,why were you doing a story on a hijacking that's 32 years old? Because dylan mccleen hijacked a plane and jumped out with a parachute and 100 grand and was never seen again.
It's a great story.
Or maybe you found the ransom money.
- What's that? - You tell me.
Are you saying this is ransom money from the hijacking? I didn't say anything.
- Where'd you get it? - From your brother.
- So,where did he get it? - From you.
I don't recall giving him any money.
Unless you're talking about losing on a round of golf.
Lying to a federal agent brings a serious degree of consequence.
Then maybe I should get a lawyer.
Two months ago they turned around a 747 because of a security breach yeah,I vanished off the plane in mid-flight.
I do that from time to time.
- To test airport security? - What? Maybe you were doing a run-through for a possible hijacking.
- I think it's time that I lawyer up.
- Sure, here are the talking points.
Why are you so interested in dylan mccleen? Why do you have a bill with a serial number that's linked to the ransom money, and why did a 747 get turned around in mid-flight that you were supposed to be on? You got a warrant for my arrest? No, but I have six federal judges on speed dial.
All right,where is it? High enough so a kid can't reach it.
You think jack would turn you in? Well,it looks that way.
- Did you call him? - Not yet.
What's this? Oh,her office sent it to me when they cleared outher desk.
- And you kept it.
- Yeah.
It's her law school diploma,personal stuff.
Seemed wrong to throw it out.
Maybe you can give it back to her.
We got bigger problems right now,katie.
Got it.
Oh,okay.
So,what are you gonna do with this? Burn it.
- hello.
- Dan? - Yeah? - It's elliott langley.
- Did I catch you at a bad time? - No.
You able to meet me at cafe luna in ten minutes? I don't have much time.
Uh,sure.
Sure.
Who was that? A source that's ready to talk.
I'll be back.
Yep.
Heard that one before.
Dr.
Langley? - Hello,dan.
- Sorry,I got here as fast not a problem.
- How's your book coming? - Good.
It's an illuminating process.
What are you doing now? Lecturing twice a week at usf.
We're discussing quartz now.
- Quartz.
- Sand.
Silicon dioxide.
One of the most common minerals on the planet.
I see.
- You called me? - I did.
Are you finding that other people are interested in your work? As a matter of fact,yes.
Men with guns always want to control the men with ideas.
Is that why you left that think tank - thurn-tippett,was it? - Yes.
The patriot act made my research at thurn accessible to the government.
They rationalized that in a time of war, they needed access to anything that could help defeat terrorism.
Defeat terrorism?What are you working on? Something the fbi might be interested in? Just don't tell anyone about your book.
Even a novelist has to worry about losing intellectual property.
- good night,dan.
- Good night.
We're okay.
Thanks.
Before you take off the flat,you should check your spare.
Okay.
Well,you don't have a spare.
Damn.
This car is cursed.
Where you heading? Back east to school.
Maybe.
Well,looks like you're walking.
This must be karma.
Or maybe you just forgot the spare.
I've had a really bad month.
there must be a reason for this.
I'm being taught something.
What's happened? I had a falling out with my parents.
- Oh,yeah,how? - I'll spare you the details.
Let's just say my mother has lousy taste in men.
No tennis lessons,crockpots,or diet pills for me.
Sorry? Nothing.
My life has changed its course and I'm just gonna go with it.
Well,sometimes you don't have a choice.
Yeah.
What about you? Ah,you know,I'm just trying to get home.
You're good.
- hey.
- Hi.
- Dude smells like bacon.
- Yeah.
Where you heading? She's going to the closest gas station.
What's the date? - The 20th.
- What year? - '74.
- 1974.
I don't think he's a cop.
We're heading to winterland.
Neil young's playing.
What do you think?Kind of out there.
You know what? I think you're better off with them.
- Are you gonna come? - No.
I'm headed in the opposite direction.
What's your name? Abigail.
- But I like abby.
- So do I.
well,uh,thanks for talking with me.
Um,see you down the road.
katie? Katie? I didn't know garrity was coming to see you.
- Get out of here,jack.
- Dan,let's let him finish.
I didn't search your house for money.
Zack brought the money out and so you launched an investigation? There was a bag of brand-new $100 bills from 30 years ago.
I-I asked our money guy about a single $100 bill.
He took it,he entered it into the system and the serial numbers tripped the feds,okay.
And once they got involved,I had to cooperate.
- I can't risk lying to a federal agent.
- Let's just keep this civil,okay.
Zack's sleeping.
You stole money from my house and you took it to your lab to analyze.
Yeah,and you've been lying to me,danny.
- Guys - I mean if you're in trouble, if you're in over your head with people you owe money to I'm not in trouble,jack.
Then tell me where the money came from.
- No.
- I'm not an eagle scout,danny.
I'll give you cover if you tell me the truth.
But if your lies take me down,I will cut you loose.
I've already told you the truth when I told you about livia back then.
And you did that,which means you're never gonna believe me.
So,I'm gonna tell you again.
Get the hell out of my house! Sure.
Dan I don't want to hear you defend him anymore.
Do you understand? I'm sorry about last night.
I-I got too angry.
I just didn't want it to escalate,is all.
I know.
I gotta go.
I'm late.
good morning.
I have a warrant to search the premises.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey! Don't you guys have sleeper cells you should be worrying about? Daring humor for a man on a no-fly list.
Forgetting something? Hold it there.
I need to look in that briefcase.
A briefcase is an "on-person" item.
We have bags listed in warrant,so we can search it not if it's locked.
You need a separate warrant true,but we can confiscate it.
I can keep going.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- So,we'll see you tonight.
- Yeah.
- I love you.
- I konw hey,you need an invitation?Take a seat.
All right.
a letter was delivered to the office of the secretary of state in washington.
This is a replica of it.
It read in its entirety,"I hereby resign "the office of president of the united states.
Sincerely,richard nixon.
" - There was more - hey.
Okay,I'm lost.
Do you remember abby from the swingers party? I put her on a bus with them.
I was saying each individual is complicated and has different needs.
Anyone who thinks they only need one partner is cutting himself off from beautiful experiences with multi-dimensional souls.
No reason we shouldn't have multiple lovers in this world.
Women aren't chattel,sammy.
All I'm saying is there is plenty of me to go around.
- Something amusing over there? - Not at all.
- He looks familiar.
- There she is.
- hello,abby.
- Do I know you? We met a folyourks.
My name is not abby.
It's angela.
You dropped out of school? Apparently,yeah.
How's it going? I'm great.
- My life is great.
- Hey,get your feet in.
People are walking here.
so where you heading? Don't know yet.
What's your bag?You got a job?You drop out? - I'll take this one.
- Go ahead.
We're time travelers.
Mo says he's from the middle ages.
And no joke,guess what it's called.
The high middle ages.
Yes,the high middle ages.
hey,check it out.
Crystals.
Quartz.
Quartz crystals keep time better than any other substance that we have on the planet.
- So what about you guys? - What year you from? - 2007.
- Cool.
Neil young's still playing.
But,uh,winterland's gone.
Mo,they're full of it.
Let's split.
abby You don't have to go with them.
- You can come with us.
- Where? Now,angela.
- I'm not ready to jump off just yet.
- Listen,abby - Let her go.
- Hey! Hey,Damn it! - where is he? - Jack,you shouldn't be here.
He was serious this time.
He doesn't want to talk to you.
I'm not looking for dan.
I'm looking for garrity.
Where is he? Probably going through my underwear right now.
- Did you call your lawyer? - No.
- Why not? - Because we haven't done anything wrong.
Or you just don't want people to know what's really going on.
- Jack - don't worry about it.
I'm over it.
- Hang yourselves.
- Jack.
You shouldn't be here,inspector.
Yeah,I've been getting that a lot lately.
- Truth is,you shouldn't be here.
- Pardon me? Whatever you find is not going to be admissible in court.
Oh,really? I didn't take evidence off the premises legally.
I didn't have a warrant.
There was a silent hit on the serial number.
I've articulated probable cause, and if we didn't obtain any evidence illegally, it's not going to be a problem.
And you've got to be one dumb cop if you didn't know that.
I'm not dumb so much as desperate.
I illegally lifted evidence from this house.
At the very least,I'm going to get disciplined by ia.
I wouldn't mind calling attention to your witch hunt.
Look I know what this is about.
I know your brother ran off with your girlfriend and you drink alone a lot,so I get that.
As a guy,I feel for you.
And if this is your way of showing her that you're a stand-up guy, I guess we can do more dinner theatre if you want.
I only got one brother.
He's messed up,but he's not a crook.
Go home,jack.
Let's do the garage.
Hi,I'm dan vasser with the register.
Do you have a daughter named abby? Hello? No.
Thank you.
I-I mean,I used to.
She changed her name to angela harvest.
That's maybe why I've had trouble finding her.
Listen,I don't want to talk to any more reporters.
I'm sorry,I'M I was a friend of abby'S.
I'm not doing a story.
I just want to find a way to reach her.
Try sonoma correctional.
- She's in prison? - Yeah.
How long has she been there? 30 years.
What did she do?Did she kill someone? You know,for a friend of abby's,you sure don't keep in touch.
hey,how's it going? Well,in a nutshell,I sent a girl to prison for life.
Great.
- Great? - I'm sorry.
I didn't hear your answer.
My query was perfunctory.
Are you okay? I found livia.
didn't find anything,huh? I can't comment on an ongoing investigation.
And I do not want to talk about your brother.
Why'd you call me here then? You filed 24 incident reports that involve currency.
Not one conflict of interest.
Not even a spelling error.
Well,I wasn't expecting a citation for penmanship,but thank you.
There was one blip,however.
One of your reports was tampered with.
- What? - September 1995.
A cabbie was given a 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.
So what's the problem? The problem is the original bill is missing.
I didn't touch it.
It's sealed.
Treasury secretary john snow is not appointed until 2003.
No counterfeiter could've known that in 1995.
This seal means nothing.
What does this have to do with my brother? I don't know.
Did you catch and release him that day in '95? Where in that report does it say I was chasing dan vasser? And what does this have to do with dylan mccleen's ransom? I'm not sure,but i believe they are linked.
I think for a federal agent you've got way too much time on your hands.
Thank you.
Well,unfortunately,for you and your brother, that's exactly right.
I mean,I found outwhen she lives.
- Where'd you get this? - In the livia box in the closet.
The fbi turned the place upside down.
I found it on the bed.
So take your finger off the button.
She told me this was her aunt.
Is it her aunt?Konw where were her konw - She lives in the past.
- But where? I don't know.
I thought all you guys do is talk? So now you're upset that I don't talk to her enough.
I want to know where the other woman lives.
- Katherine.
- Dunston - good to see you.
- How's your end of the year list coming? - Marvelous,a few surprises.
- Oh,come on.
Just give us a hint.
You get rid of dan for a night and I'll show you personally.
katie,the man's busy.
- Hugh.
- Katie.
- How's the new job? - It's good.
Thanks.
- What's going on? - Nothing.
Yeah,he was just helping me with a story.
Oh,perhaps,a more seasoned hand,huh? Katie,I - right,um,you should probably go.
- I've got to run.
- How's the follow-up on candlestick point? - I just sent it.
Dan,I need to talk to you about the visitor yesterday.
Can it wait?I've got to go to zack.
No,no.
This'll take a second.
Have you actually appeared on camera yet? I haven't committed any journalism yet.
I'm just filling out forms,but I start next week.
Katie,you're going to give all those women a run for their money.
Even in high-def.
- From your lips to the control room's ears.
- excully Well,good luck.
Okay,dan get your ass down on the floor! - Get on the floor now! - Hey! How'd he get in here?I thought you had the door? I don't know.
He just appeared.
Hey!Get over here.
- You watch these guys.
You help me with the safe.
- Right.
hey,come here Kill the lights! come on where are you keep the money? tell me.
where are you keep the money? - Don't move.
- Abby? - Sam.
- Don't call him,abby.
Sammy.
Have you ever robbed anywhere before? - You don't use your real names.
- Shut up! - Don't move! - I know what you look like,abby.
I'm going to get up now,all right? - hey.
- Hi.
Shut up.
Dine-and-dash is one thing,abby,but knocking over liquor stores we're redistributing food.
- We're going to feed the hungry.
- Hey! Who you talking to over there? Tell them to shut up.
You're going to get yourself killed.
Just shut up! - what's going on? - It's all sammy's idea,isn't it? You and your mom,you do have lousy taste in men.
Come here.
Stick to the plan.
- Remember the plan? - Yeah,yeah,yeah,sorry,sorry.
No wonder you never heard of the beatles.
What? Or program the vcr.
You couldn't program the vcr.
- You live back then,don't you? - Yes.
- When?19 - '48.
you travel to the future.
And you travel to the past.
The only time we meet is on business.
We were never meant never meant to live together in your present.
Or mine.
- We were never meant to be,dan.
- We're out of sync.
We always were.
Give me the combination! My boss has the combination.
I don'T give me the combination or I'll blow your brains out! - One.
- I don't have it,please.
- Two.
- Sam.
Get on the floor! Stay there! Wait,that guy,hitchhiking to winterland.
Take him outside and kill him.
- What?Me? - Yeah.
- Are you sure,man? - Go! We're going outside.
Move.
This is not going to end well,guys.
You or sammy are going to kill someone, you're all going to get 30 years to life.
Shut up!Move.
- We're doing a good thing here.
- This is not the way,abby.
- Sammy's a fraud and you're just a ripe - That right? We're hearing this from two people who claim they can travel through time? - What is your distribution plan for the food,sammy? - Shut up.
let him go.
Let him go! Dan.
Let him go.
you're dead.
Hey,hey,hey.
Hey,hey! It's all yours.
You can take it.
Buy food and clothing for the poor, if that's what you're really doing.
It's a trick.
S-sammy,this is as good.
We can feed a lot of people with this.
We can go now.
I'm telling you,sammy, there's something about these two; I get this vibe off them.
- They could really - if the next words out of your mouth are "quartz crystals," - I will kill you! - Okay,okay.
Take his watch.
Mo,get the rest of the money.
Abby,we're the same.
We're on this strange road to god knows where, but you can't just go along for the ride.
Sometimes you got to know when to get off.
Angela,do it.
I wish I could get off,but I can'T.
You you can.
you can Sammy.
I don't want to be told what to do anymore.
Angela,stop.
sammy! clean out the register.
now let's get out here hurry,the cop come on - hurry up, - come on,get move,quickly,let's go Get that money I don't want to do this anymore,liv.
I know.
If some higher power wants me to do their dirty work, I want to know the reason why.
Yeah,good luck with that.
What about all those years we were together? I came here in the late '80s and stayed.
I didn't have a mission, or at least I didn't know what it was back then and I wasn't being sent back, so I adapted.
I had to survive.
Like get a job.
Say what you want about abby's generation, but it pushed the needlea few degrees, so I did what would have been a lot harder in the 1940s.
I went to law school.
I sort of found myself.
And then I met a guy.
And I fell in love with him.
And I was ready I was happy to spend the rest of my life with him.
But something someone had other plans for us.
Abby Armstrong Nabs 13th District on Progressiv Platform And when she disappeared off the plane? She went back home.
- To 1948? - Yeah.
Could that happen to you? Will you disappear for a long time back there? - Livia says the trips will get longer.
- Oh,god.
Katie,I love you and I do not regret my choice.
Livia and I just work together like foreign correspondents on assignment.
no,don'T.
Stay here.
draft?Yeah,thanks,terrance.
hi,This is the vasser residence.
Leave a message.
Better back that one up,t-man.
You got it.
- Out of 20? - Yeah.
Thanks.
