Quantum Leap (2022) s01e18 Episode Script

1
Quantum Leap was an experimental
time travel program
years away from being tested.
- Why did you leap?
- I don't remember anything.
Your name is Dr. Ben Song.
You're a time traveler
leaping from life to life
trying to put right
what once went wrong.
I'm Addison Augustine.
Addison. You're the woman I love.
Richard Martínez is Leaper X.
Another leaper from the future
traveling through time just like Ben.
I remember why I leapt
in the first place.
It's to save you.
All I know is Martínez is gonna try
and kill you in the past.
You still think Ben
is nearing his last leap?
- I'm getting nothing.
- Where are you, Ben?

It's snowing
in LA.
Nuclear winter.
- Ian.
- Hi, Ben.
I've been waiting for you
for a long time.
Oh, my God.
I'm in the future.
[COMPUTER CHIRPS]
I'm picking up a signature.
I'm picking up a signature!
- Where is he?
- He is
um, he's He's gone.
You said you got a signature.
Yes, I did, but then it just vanished.
What'd I miss?
Ian finally picked up Ben's signature,
- then lost it.
- I didn't lose it, okay?
It just it disappeared.
There it is again. Look, it's like
Um, it's like the quantum
accelerator is confused.
Because it wasn't designed
for traveling to the future.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
This shouldn't be possible. [GRUNTS]
It isn't strictly possible.
The accelerator's already
trying to pull you back
into the past,
but you have to fight it, okay?
We don't have a lot of time.
[GROANS] Time for what?
And did you say nuclear winter?
- Are we at war?
- Amongst other things.
It's not that great up there.
I'm the only one from
Quantum Leap who survived.
I could barely find someone
for you to leap into.
We're all gone?
You're alone.
Yeah.
[BODY WHOOSHES]
- Hurry.
- [GRUNTS]
Can we get a visual?
No, not while he's in the future.
- What is he doing?
- I don't know.
- Oh, come on.
- I don't.
Ben told me his final destination
is in the past.
I don't know why he made
a pitstop in the future,
but he can't stay there
for very much longer.
This doesn't make any sense.
How is this our future?
The government blames Quantum Leap
for society collapsing.
But we help people. We right wrongs.
It doesn't matter.
Quantum Leap always worked in service
of the mysterious and beautiful ways
in which human beings are connected,
but all the government sees
is a scapegoat
for their bad policies and poor choices.
Time travel changes things,
so they've somehow convinced themselves
that we changed things for the worse,
and they sent a marine
on one last mission to the past.
Martínez. [GROANS]
[BODY WHOOSHES] [GRUNTS]
They want to undo everything
that we did here at Quantum Leap
by killing the person
who leaped in 2022.
- Me.
- Addison.
In the original timeline,
Addison leaped.
Now, when I went back to warn you,
- you leaped instead.
- To save her.
I was almost too late.
After I warned you
and I leaped back here,
they destroyed our quantum accelerator.
What?
So they think
they can just play with time.
Well, I figured out a way
to beat them at their own game.
[COUGHS]
- What is this?
- It's a code.
When I told you to leap,
I didn't have all the pieces
that you would need
to defeat Martínez in the end.
We needed time, so while you
leaped from decade to decade,
I worked on finishing this code
and waited for you
to come and meet me in your future
so that I could give you
the final piece.
Took me ten years to finish it,
but it was worth it.
It's a fail-safe,
and you're gonna need it.
- [GROANS]
- Oh, God.
What's happening?
The machine is pulling you back.
- Just memorize the code!
- But what does it
Memorize it! We're running out of time!
Uh
Ben has really
pissed off the accelerator.
Uh, um
♪
- Done.
- You sure?
- All of it?
- Photographic memory.
[DISTORTED]
Now what did I just memorize?
What? I can't hear you.
What does the code do?
Give it to me in the past, okay?
- I'll know what to do with it.
- What about you?
I can't just leave you alone
is this awful place.
I forgot how relentless you are.
You just never can stay on mission.
- What?
- Just stop Martínez, okay?
The future, it'll figure itself out.
Remember, we need each other.
All right, that's the only way
it's gonna work.
- We need to
- He's leaping.
- Is he coming home?
- Yes.
But he has one last leap.
Just tell us where he's going.
It's not so much where as when.
[WHOOSHING]
♪
[MACHINERY CLANKING]
♪
- So you're meeting Al tonight?
- Yep.
- And can't you just move it?
- Nope.
But you can't just bail on trivia night.
- We need you.
- Sorry, but I promised Al.
Oh, my God.
- It's us.
- In 2018.
This is why Ben needed my help.
He wanted to leap back to the day
that Martínez was sent to kill Addison,
and he needed my help
to program the accelerator
to this specific day
and this specific leap host.
Who?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
♪
I leaped into myself into the past.
And that is still only the second
weirdest thing you've done today.
So how was the future?
- It was
- What'd you see?
- I saw Ian.
- What?
Future Ian.
And they gave me this code.
- Okay, what does it do?
- I don't know.
The last thing I heard Ian say
was "remember that we need each other."
Okay, cute, but not exactly helpful.
- We have eyes on Martínez?
- No, not yet.
Ian our Ian
Said that we will get an alert
as soon as Martínez lands.
Good. That'll buy us some time.
I'll look for you in the past.
You get this code to Ian in the present.
They'll know what to do with it.
What am I supposed to do with all this?
I don't know. You wrote it.
Yeah, like, 30 years from now
based on advancements in the field
that I can't even begin to anticipate.
This literally looks like
gibberish to me.
[LAUGHS] Well, except for that part.
That's it's an inside joke.
You wouldn't understand.
Are you sure that I didn't say anything
about how this code
was supposed to work?
No, all you said
was that we need each other.
Okay, glad I used my time wisely.
[SIGHS] Can you figure this out or not?
Sure, just, uh,
give me a couple decades.
How about a couple of hours?
I'll take it. [SIGHS]
Oh, but before I do,
tell Ben not to change
- anything in the past.
- Why?
Because if he alters his own timeline,
it could create a paradox
or erase someone from existence
or make it so that you two
never fall in love.
What? Why would you help him leap
into his own body
if those were the risks?
It was the only way to get
close to you in the past.
Ben needed to leap into
someone you would trust.
Don't worry.
He was confident he could stick
to the original history.
Well, maybe Ben can cover for you,
but have you even seen him?
I can't find him anywhere.
If we don't leave soon,
we're gonna be late.
By the way, did you hear
that there is a prize for the winner?
Okay, coupons to the new buffet place
down the street doesn't exactly
count as a prize.
- It's the principle.
- Ooh.
Oh, sorry. I didn't
[TENDER MUSIC]
♪
- See you.
- Hi.
Well, this is awkward.
- You guys okay?
- Yeah, no, I'm fine.
- I'm fine.
- Yeah, fine, uh
There's something different about you.
- Hmm?
- [SNIFFS]
- You wearing cologne?
- No. Are you?
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
They're going out on a date.
Why didn't you tell me?
Ben, that dress.
This is the night of our first date.
Okay, okay, let's give 'em some space.
- You knew?
- [LAUGHS]
Let's go. I'm late for a meeting.
Well, drinks with Al
hardly qualifies as a meeting,
but I got you these.
Well, as a non-smoker
and a government employee,
I formally decline
your contraband Cubans.
But Al will thank you. Come on.
Wow, wow, wow, wow.
So I'm guessing that the two of you
aren't coming to trivia night either.
- Keep it moving.
- We needed you, you know?
Jenn doesn't know anything
about pop culture.
- She's too "edgy".
- It's true.
you're gonna be sorry.
- That's enough.
- [LAUGHS]
[SIGHS]
- Hi.
- Hi.
- You look really nice.
- Oh, yeah? Thanks.
Yeah, um you
You also look you
[SNAPS] Hey, keep it together.
- This date has to go well.
- Are you ready to do?
- Yeah. Yes.
- Okay.
- Just gonna go grab my bag.
- Okay.
♪
- We can't go on this date.
- Excuse me?
If we stick to the original history,
Martínez will know
exactly where to find you.
And if we don't stick
to the original history,
we have no idea what
could happen in the future.
Look, Ben,
if this date doesn't go well,
we might never fall in love.
Janis said that you leaped
knowing these risks
and that you promised
you wouldn't change anything.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Sorry, this is a little weird.
Yeah, I know, right?
Dating your coworker.
Yeah.
Okay.
I was thinking
scallion pancakes to start.
- Yeah, sounds good.
- No, you ordered egg rolls.
Nope, we should get egg rolls.
Okay, sure.
We can't just sit here
and wait for Martínez.
- What?
- Hmm?
Mm Mongolian beef.
- It's good, yeah?
- No beef.
No beef. I hate that.
- Uh, you seem nervous.
- No.
You were actually very nervous.
I'm actually very nervous. [CHUCKLES]
Me too. Almost didn't come.
What?
Ian told me that you asked them
to run the probability scenarios
to see if we should go on a date or not.
- Wow, I'm sorry about that.
- Yeah.
But I thought about it
and considering all the times
I hurled myself into a relationship
without thinking it through,
what you did was very practical,
very you,
and I like you.
- You do?
- Yeah.
- I love
- Hmm?
[TENDER MUSIC]
Like you too.
♪
Aw.
What can I get started for you?
Egg rolls please.
Egg rolls.
- Wow, this is incredible.
- Right?
No idea what it means,
but the pieces I do understand
are brilliant.
Why can't I figure this out?
I mean, future me is just
casually writing this thing
in some "Blade Runner"
apartment probably wearing
a very cool trench coat,
and I still can't
put one and one together.
Should we get you a trench coat?
Mm, couldn't hurt.
I think you're being hard on yourself.
If your 2018 self could see you now,
they'd be pretty proud
of who they've become.
Well, that's a pretty low bar
because in 2018, I was a mess.
I had just broken up with Rachel.
I was lonely.
I mean, you saw how desperate I was
to get everybody to go
to those trivia nights.
It's because the other
six nights of the week,
I was at home alone playing
this impossible to beat
video game called "Dark Souls,"
which is actually
a very appropriate title
for my state of mind back then.
[COMPUTER BEEPS]
- Uh-oh.
- Uh-oh.
Okay, look, don't panic,
but Leaper X is here,
but he is still all the way across town.
Okay, you still have plenty
of time to finish the date.
- Is everything okay?
- Yes.
Tell her yes.
- No.
- Ben.
We have to go.
But you still haven't had dessert yet.
But we haven't had dessert yet.
- We got to go.
- Oh, okay.
Ben. [GROANS]
No, no, no. What is he doing?
We said no changes
to the original history.
You are changing the original history.
I don't care. I'm not risking your life.
My life is not the only thing
at stake here.
Our love is.
Our love is stronger than this.
- Huh?
- No, it's not.
Not yet.
- She'll understand.
- Who?
- Ben.
- You.
- I'm sorry.
- Don't you dare.
Addison, I'm a time traveler
from the future,
and your life is in danger.
So you're a time traveler.
Yes. I'm Ben from the future.
I leaped in 2022 to come
back here and save your life.
- From what?
- A man sent back in time
to kill you.
[LAUGHS] Okay.
[LAUGHS]
Okay. That's really good.
I mean, it's literally
the plot of the "Terminator,"
but it's good.
Okay, can we please go back
- and have dinner?
- Yes. Please.
No, I'm not joking.
God, this date is officially
not going well.
I mean, we do work for
a secret government time travel project.
Yes, yes and in the future
everything goes terribly wrong.
You have to believe me.
You can trust me.
I don't know.
I'm gonna need some time
to process this.
Sorry, but we don't have time.
Wait. Whoa.
How much damage did he just do?
I don't know, but I would say
that telling people
you're a time traveler
is high on the list of things
not to do if you want
to avoid a space-time paradox.
And Martínez. Who has he leapt into?
We can't tell. All we can
do is triangulate his location.
Jenn, would you monitor
Leaper X's movements?
I'm on it.
Okay, now if you will all excuse me.
I'm gonna go and try
to figure out this code
before Ben accidentally
erases me from existence.
- Could that really happen?
- Yes.
It was always a risk.
We have no idea the degree
to which Ben just altered the future.
In past leaps, we felt any changes
to the original history instantly.
Why not now?
Because we've never directly messed
with our own timelines before.
Until Ben finishes the leap,
everything is in flux.
- The phenomenon is called
- Don't tell me.
Nanowave nullifier.
Space-time suppressor.
- Quantum bubble.
- Of course.
Look, I'm not gonna lie, Magic,
this is a big thing he just changed.
So I'd say best case scenario
when this is all over,
Ben and Addison don't end up together.
That's the best case scenario.
- Mm-hmm.
- What's the worst?
Ben rips a hole in space-time
killing everything that ever was.
- Hurry up with that code.
- Uh, guys.
I think I know where Leaper X is going.
Martínez is on his way back to HQ.
HQ, he must think you're still there.
Who? What? Where?
Take my car to your place.
Lock the doors. Arm yourself.
- Tell no one where you are.
- Are you going back to HQ?
- Why?
- The less you know the better.
Goodbye, Addison. See you in the future.
It's only a few blocks. I can run.

Hey.
Hey, how did Al like those cigars?
Good. Good.
No, I'm fine. [CLEARS THROAT]
Look, Ben says that I'm in danger.
And it sounds crazy,
but what if he's right?
Leaper X is getting closer.
[TENSE MUSIC]
This is insane.
We are way off the original timeline.
You're safe. That's all that matters.
To you.

God, it's good to be in my own body.
Martínez is gonna have a hell of time
getting into this building.
- And when he does?
- I'll be waiting.
[ELEVATOR DINGS]
Has this elevator always been this slow?
Well, at least we get
to enjoy the time we have left.
Hey. Hey, come on.
You and me, there's no future
in which we don't end up together.
It's like Ian said, we need each other.
We have to remember that.
So we didn't finish the date. So what?
You and I are written in the stars.
You don't know that.
I know that I leaped
across time and space,
forgot you ever existed,
and still our love survived.
I think we can survive one bad date.

Hands up.

You were saying?
♪
Out.
Come on. Move.
I see you took my advice
to arm yourself.
Thanks for that.
Talked to Magic. He made a good point.
Maybe you're telling the truth.
Maybe you are a time traveler
and maybe someone is coming to get me.
But how do I know that person isn't you?
Come on, Addison.
- You know me.
- No, she doesn't, Ben.
In 2018, you were
just a coworker to her,
and now you are a crazy coworker.
Have a little faith in us.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Who's the hologram?
- You.
- Bull.
I'm trained to be the leaper,
not the hologram.
Yeah, but then I ruined everything,
and I leaped instead of you.
What? Do not come any closer.
Magic, Jenn, and Ian are on their way
to help me decide what to do with you.
I know the idea of you and me
doesn't make
a whole lot of sense right now
because we're separated by time,
but have you heard of this thing
called the law of entanglement?
Oh, my God.
When two particles
experience a shared state,
they're no longer separate entities.
They exist as one.

Did I She just initiate lockdown?
Yeah, looks like it.

Ben doesn't stand a chance against me.
Hey, did you just pull me out?
Sorry. This kind of just got personal.

What about when I want the machine

I know the feeling.

I really messed things up.
Well, apparently,
the entire fabric of
the universe is at risk,

to you than Addison does.
I bet you're starting
to believe the people we love
are our biggest weakness.
Are you here to tell me
they're our greatest strength?
[CHUCKLES] No.
They are without a doubt our weakness.
I risked everything to bring Sam home,
but there's nothing wrong with
having a weakness for people.

He's about to blow up the accelerator.
Well, you would need a lot of explosives
to blow up the quantum accelerator.
I mean, you could always
override the fail safes
and program the accelerator to implode.
An implosion would take out
everything in a three mile radius.
- Go.

It looks like a cheat code for
a very complicated video game.

Okay, well, that is trippy.
Wait, turtle time?
Turtle time is from

Why didn't I think about it
like a video game?
I should've given my past self
way more credit.
Hey, explain please.
What's a cheat code?
A cheat code is used to
You know, to cheat.
I used to use them whenever
a video game got too hard.
Sometimes a cheat code
can allow you jump
to a very specific part of the game
and try it all over again.
Well, what if Ben could leap
to any point of this day in 2018?
If he leaps to the beginning of the day,
he could undo everything he did wrong.
- He could try again.
- Exactly.
That's why future me gave Ben this code.
They were counting on past me
to know what to do with it.
- Where'd they go?
- Um, they're in 1954.
Magic or whoever that was
did something to the accelerator,
and it's going haywire.
They're lurching backwards in time.
- So turn it off.
- No!
If I do, then Ben's
gonna be lost in the past.
I should've believed him.
I wanted to, but then I just got scared.
So you do have emotions for Ben.

The cheat code should bring Ben back

effectively correcting every mistake

Your bad date, all of it.

in the past, this'll bring him back.
No, no, no, if Ben dies in the past,
he's gone,
