You just had to build a fire, didn't you? How was I supposed to know they'd

see it? You don't know fire makes light, right?

I'll die!

I think that's

Lieutenant Louis Cologne.

He's the only man George Washington has ever surrendered to. No. No history. Not

right now.

Careful with that.

He doesn't speak English.

I don't care.

Okay, okay.

Obviously, the situation is not ideal. Not ideal is having french fries without

ketchup. This has been three days of trudging through the mud, bitten by bugs

I can't identify, eating meat I don't want to identify. Three days of

listening to you whine. Hey, come on.

I don't like it either, but Flynn is still out here somewhere, and if we're

going to find him, we're going to have to work together, okay?

Work together?

Really? Because Rufus is over there. Hey.

Recording us for Rittenhouse.

Yeah, we're really working together, aren't we?

How do you say I had sex with your mother in

French? You don't, unless you're trying to get us killed right now. I'm trying

to do my job.

Hey, Pierre.

I slept with your mother.

What did you say?

Try again, you son of a bitch.

Go on.

Repeat.

Repeat.

Oh, hey, I forgot. Hand me that recorder.

There. Now we can say whatever the hell we want. What am I supposed to say to

Macy? Tell him you lost it. And you think he's just gonna buy that?

I don't know.

You know, we still haven't even figured out why Flynn's here. I don't know. It's

hard to say.

Basically, the French and Indian War was the French with their Indian allies

fighting the British. The 22-year-old George Washington was fighting for

England. So this is about young George Washington?

Or maybe Flynn wants to change the outcome of the war? So what? We become

the United States of France?

Lots of attitude. No one picks up their dog poop?

Hey.

Did he write a book on France or something? Whatever Flynn was gonna do,

he's probably already done it.

That's comforting.

Is that... C4.

Okay, stand clear.

No!

That was a ride!

To mother shit for the last chance to get back to the 21st century!

Wyatt, get down!

You're gonna die!

We're trapped here.

So you think Flynn's plan wasn't to change history, just to

trap us here in 1754?

That'd be my guess.

While we were out looking for him, this guy was looking for the lifeboat.

It'd be smart. I can't imagine a worse place to strand us.

300 miles from anywhere in an era full of hostile forces and, you know,

smallpox. Amazing.

Come on.

You have to talk to me at some point.

What do you call this?

Look, I... I will say it again, and I will keep saying it. I'm sorry for not

telling you about the journal. What about your little deal with Agent

Christopher?

When were you gonna tell me about that?

Yeah, Christopher told me. So I kill Flynn, she helps you get your sister

back. Nothing about me or my wife, but hey, as long as you get what you need.

Okay, that is not fair. It is not a secret that I'm trying to get my sister

back. I mean, you were the one that said, figure out what you're fighting

for. Well, I am fighting for Amy, and you of all people should understand

that.

Okay.

Rufus, where are we?

Well, aside from the obvious hole in the side panel, there is some serious damage

to the circuitry. I could cannibalize the wiring from the nav system, and if I

had some iron, maybe I could patch up the hole, but our big problem is we're

short a couple capacitors. Like a flux capacitor?

No, those don't exist.

What would it take to make a real capacitor?

You'd buy one from Radio Shack. Come on, Rufus, you built a time machine. If you

absolutely had to build a...

capacitor here.

Now, what would it take to build it? I'd need foil. Okay. Okay, uh, barring that,

I could hammer some tin or copper thinly, maybe, uh, salt, a couple glass

jars. Okay, good, good. What else?

Uh, I'd need a forge and to learn to be a blacksmith.

And then you'd be able to fix it? Probably not.

Maybe.

Okay, look.

We are less than 20 miles from Fort Duquesne. They probably have some of the

stuff that you need there. Fort Duquesne?

The fort that the French soldiers came from, including the one that I killed.

What are we going to do? Walk in and ask to borrow a forge? Either that or we

learn to start farming.

All right, if you can build this thing, you can get us home.

Haven't even gotten to the hard part yet.

Oh, good to know. If we use the wiring from the nav system, I won't be able to

control where we land.

Doesn't matter if we fix the lifeboat or not. We'll never survive the trip

unless... Protocol.

Protocol? What protocol?

So when exactly did Flynn get the mothership back to present day? Three

hours ago.

Usually our guys come back just a few minutes after Flynn does.

Well, it could just be a technical problem with the lifeboat. Or

something's happened to the team.

Any leads on Flynn?

Yes, um, he's in this 50 square mile radius near Mexico City. How fast can we

get a team there? It's Mexico. It'll be a minute. Sir, we don't have a minute.

Any second, Flynn could jump in. There won't be anyone there to chase him this

time. I'll get into it.

Don't mean to be insensitive, but stop moping like a bloody idiot.

Excuse me. Our people are out there. Now get your head in the game, and let's

figure out a way to get them back home. How? How? Why do you think we have the

protocol?

And you're digging exactly three feet from the front of the lifeboat? Yes, I

am following your absurdly specific instruction.

When you said, get a message to Mason Industries, I didn't think you literally

meant in a bottle. We can't exactly send a text, can we? Really, this is the best

system that Connor Mason could come up with? Ah, behold the power of non

-biodegradable polyethylene. Bit of a future environmental catastrophe, but

today, it could save our asses. How's that gonna work? Connor, we'll fight at

this spot with a team of archaeologists and dig this up. We're standing in

what's going to be a suburb of Pittsburgh.

I mean, who knows what could happen to this patch of land over 260 years. Yeah,

well, that's why we gotta dig deep.

And this system generally works?

Don't know.

No one's ever tried it.

And if it doesn't? Then we don't make it home.

Or we die violently.

Or both.

Call her,

Mason. Your lifeboat is missing.

Garcia Flynn is operating unchecked. I'm handling it. We've already backrolled

one machine that was hijacked by terrorists. Now we've lost our backup

machine. We've lost Lucy Preston. We've lost our whole team, actually. But you

only mentioned Lucy.

Out of all the excellent historians in the country, a young, untenured

professor is chosen for something this important.

It makes one wonder if certain strings weren't pulled to get Lucy the job.

Also makes me wonder who could have pulled those strings and why.

Mr. Mason, you seem to have forgotten the nature of our relationship.

Our relationship? This machine is our relationship. Without it, and without

all my team back, we don't have...

My jet is waiting.

What was all that about?

Personal business.

The jet should be ready.

It's all going to be downtown Pittsburgh one day.

Concrete as far as the eye can see.

But for now, it's really beautiful, isn't it?

Super beautiful.

Just wiped my butt with some leaves.

What the hell, man?

You said the red berries are safe to eat. The ones that are so low.

When they're a cluster, they will kill you. I told you that. Well, I'm sorry.

That's confusing.

You realize we are in 1754, right? There's no ambulance.

There's no antibiotics. There's no tetanus shot. I get it. You make one

mistake, you'll die. I get it. I get that I suck at this.

I hate the outdoors and camping and bees, and I really hate the survivalist

crap. That's why we have you. Who do I have, Rufus?

Your Delta force Delta force isn't a person. It's a team I'm just

one guy if I don't have someone that I can count on I mean really count on

We're not gonna make it out of here

What is it?

It's the French from last night. Oh, God.

One guess we've been looking for.

The water will cover our

tracks.

Let's go for a swim.

I don't hear anything.

I think we lost him.

Yeah, for now, but we gotta keep moving. Come on.

Uh, uh, guys?

Deserter, maybe?

What are you doing?

We're gonna have much better luck getting into a French fort if I'm

dressed like a French soldier, don't you think?

His body's still warm.

Which means he was killed. Really?

Really recently?

What the hell is that?

Battle cries.

It's what they do when they take prisoners.

Like us.

So do they scalp you after they kill you, or is scalping, like, how they kill

you?

These are Shawnee?

Yeah. And they think we're British?

Yeah. And how do the Shawnee feel about the British?

Depends on the tribe, depends on the day, but I think it's safe to say

they're not fans. Yeah.

So we should take it as a positive sign they haven't tried to kill us yet,

right? I think they're just waiting for the chief.

Come on, White. There's got to be a way to get us out of this, right? You can

just... something.

That's one of you can barf up a knife.

I think we're going to be here a while.

So how'd you get them to clear out the whole street?

Told them all we were CDC and we found Zika mosquitoes in the neighborhood.

Hey, whatever it takes.

I want to get the team back home, too.

You needn't have come out here, you know? I'd have let you know if we'd

found anything.

Oh, I needed to be here.

It hasn't escaped my notice that you and Rufus are close.

That's just it. We aren't.

I mean, he asked me out once, but most of the time he just instant messages me

from his desk two feet away from me instead of actually talking to me.

I think it would mean a lot to him to know how worried you are.

You know, if this is really it, you know, like... Really, even if we get out

of here, there's no telling if we'll actually make it out of 1754.

I can't stop thinking what I wouldn't give for one more

chocodile.

What?

What the hell is a chocodile?

Twinkie.

Covered in chocolate.

Rufus, that is monumentally stupid.

Well, clearly you've never had one before.

No.

What I wouldn't give is to be able to tell Gia how I feel about her.

How do you feel about her?

on a date once.

Really? Yeah.

It's super awkward.

I haven't had the guts to talk to her about it since.

I don't know why that, of all things, was so scary to me, just

talking to someone.

When I was little.

Mother used to read to me these biographies for children.

It's like Einstein for kids, Churchill for kids.

They're really good, actually.

And I guess I just, I always figured that I'd read them to my kids.

Just always figured there'd be...

I know what you mean.

Jessica always wanted a little boy.

And I would always say, relax.

You got all the time in the world.

Wyatt.

I am... I am so sorry that I said that Jessica's death was meant to be. You

don't have to. I do.

You deserve to get Jessica back.

I wish you could get Amy back, too.

And if I could make a deal with Agent Christopher, I would.

Yeah, well, what's the point of having a time machine if you can't fix your

regrets?

Chief must be coming.

The chief is a woman.

Don't look so surprised.

You speak English.

Missionaries. The language stayed.

Their faith did not.

My name is Nana Lima.

You're Nana Lima.

I've heard of you before because you are a great chieftess.

Very beautiful and super intimidating.

And who are you?

We're not here to hurt anybody.

In fact, I'm Dr.

Quinn, and I'm a medicine woman.

And this here is my brother, and we've come here to treat the sick and help in

any way that we can.

No, no, Chimo Key.

The French came to help.

They said they wanted to trade.

And then they start building forts.

And when we fought back, they killed all our men.

To our women.

My daughter still bears the scars.

We were captured by the French as well. The English are no better.

Look, if you let us go, we promise we're... Promises?

I've heard promises from liars and thieves before.

What's he doing?

Oh, you know.

Just marking us for death.

You live.

Wait, what?

Me? Why?

You didn't choose to be here.

You were forced to.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, no, no.

Stop.

Ma'am, respectfully, I'm asking you to listen.

We're not who we said we were.

We're not from France.

We're not British. We're not from anywhere around here.

But these people didn't force me to be with them. These people are my friends.

They've saved my life on more than one occasion.

We look out for each other.

Thing is, we're not even supposed to be here.

We just want to go home.

Now, you can kill them, and I'm pretty sure there is nothing I can do about it.

But if you do, you're going to have to kill me, too.

My brother says to kill you all.

But it is not his decision to make.

If someone like him is willing to die for someone like you, then

you're certainly not from around here, are you?

No.

Vokfini, I will spare your lives because of this man's honor.

But if you prove him wrong, I will spare no one.

I got something!

It's cracked.

Open it.

Careful.

Is now.

It's gone.

Thank you for what you did back there.

That was incredibly brave.

Figured if I was gonna die,

I'd rather not do it alone in the woods.

Oh, really?

That's why.

The blue and white uniform really blend in here, don't you think?

It's hard to believe they lost the war.

So, uh, how close are we to Fort Duquesne?

Uh, just about five miles.

But we need to come up with a plan before we go. The plan is you and I

stall while Rufus finds the supplies to the lifeboat.

But you gotta be quick.

The soldiers are looking for us. They can show up at any moment.

Okay.

Is anybody worried about the fact that neither of you speak French?

I've got that covered.

like Fort Dysentery.

We've run the test three times. It's all we can make out.

Death.

Well, that's not at all ominous.

There must be more tests you can do, right? I mean, UV lighting or... We've

done every test there is.

It's all we could get. I'm sorry.

What does it mean?

Well, I'm afraid it can't be good.

You got this.

It's taken him so long.

I don't know.

The problem doesn't come from the wound itself, but from the fever that

accompanies it, which, as you know... They say it's an infection, but in fact,

it's a heart attack.

I thought you said you were a nurse.

No. The disease comes from an imbalance of body fluids. It has too much blood,

but from the calomel, administered by rectal... Calomel?

It's from my cure, isn't it? Of course.

What was he going to do?

Trust me, you don't want to know.

Took you long enough.

Got it.

Let's get the hell out of here.

What are you doing?

Come on!

Isn't that a bit of a high jump?

Pete's facing a French firing squad. Let's go.

When you put it like that... I'm just gonna go ahead and say it.

1754 sucks.

Is there any sign of our French pals?

Not yet.

They'll see our tracks. They won't be far behind.

Oh, come on.

That can't actually work. Should work enough for one trip.

Except we won't know until the ring starts spinning.

But by then, it'll be too late to change our minds.

What do you mean, change our minds?

Without the navigation system, we could land anywhere.

The Earth is 70% water. We could land in the middle of the ocean, on a mountain,

inside of a mountain. The middle of Fallujah would be an amazing result

right now. Needless to say, it is very complicated, and we need Gia and Mason

to help us land. That is, provided they got my note.

Let's say they didn't. What are the odds?

Somewhere between one in a billion and impossible.

How do they help us land?

Hey there.

I don't know what else to do.

Well, I do.

My boss usually frowns on drinking at work.

Well, I think he'll let it slide this once.

Rufus ever tell you how we met?

No.

I was doing charity outreach in the city neighborhoods, plucking out the best and

brightest.

Made me feel good.

Made me look good, too.

So we're at the science fair in this run-down, gang-infested Chicago middle

school. The whole thing's pathetic, really.

But I see this scrawny, nerdy kid, and he's got this scale model of the entire

city re-engineered with a monorail system that runs entirely on recycled

coffee pods.

Somehow I'm not surprised.

So, you know, I invite him to talk to me after the science fair, and he knows who

I am. He says... No, no, I'm sorry, Mr. Mason. I'd love to, but I can't be late

to pick up my brother.

I think I'm a genius with a sense of responsibility.

I thought he's going to do great things one day.

And when he does, I want it to be for me.

First time I met Rufus, he saw the treble that I got at Comic-Con, and he

told me that we would never be friends.

Because I was Star Trek.

And he was Star Wars. Yeah, that sounds just like Rufus. He was always one who

could take awkward, bold new heights.

You say it like he's gone.

Come on, I mean, any minute, he's gonna be back, bragging about his latest trip.

You know, what a hero he was. Like Han Solo.

What is it?

I think I know what Rufus is trying to say.

Now, there are a number of reasons why they might not be back yet.

Most of them really bad, but let's just say something happened to the navigation

system. Well, how do you know something happened? I'm getting to that.

If the nav system is down, Rufus is gonna need our help with the landing.

Alice, specific instructions, a series of code that detail how the team at

Mason Industries can take over and essentially bring us home via remote

control. Now, we won't be able to do anything until it's in transit, so what

we need to do is catch him... mid-jump.

take over the controls and guide him in here. It's an interesting theory, Gia,

but how are you getting all that from a few words and a note? Because I filled

in the blanks.

Rufus made an analogy to a movie you might have seen. It's like what the

Death Star did. To the Millennium Falcon.

That's what Rufus was trying to say.

And you can do that.

Maybe.

But I'm gonna need help. So what are our options? We stay here and fight off the

French or dive smallpox eventually?

Pretty much.

Likely death either way.

What the hell?

I'm in.

Me too.

Tough call for me.

Just really hoping to be sold into slavery.

They're coming.

Here we go Go

where we're not going anywhere

This

patch

is not as strong as the rest of the ship

Get out of here!

The lifeboat's in transit. We need to do this now. It's not ready.

We don't have time for ready.

Sorry we're late.

We had some traffic.

You okay?

Yeah.

You alright?

We made it.

Come back.

Hey. Hey.

Um... I heard you got it just from Death and Millennium.

Took me a while, but yeah.

I guess we know each other better than I thought.

Gia.

Yeah?

Remind me to tell...

Mason that if he can build a time machine, then he can build a reasonably

durable plastic tube. Because the only...

Well?

What was that for?

For making it back.

Thanks to you.

I need your authorization for a surveillance operation.

On Connor Mason?

That's correct.

For what reason? I think he's hiding something from us, and I want to know

what it is.

Here it is. The Pennsylvania Orb Incident.

In September of 1754, a group of French soldiers claimed to have seen a giant

metal orb with spinning rings that disappeared before their eyes.

One of the earliest UFO sightings in colonial North America.

What? All right.

We did it? That's us.

Well, cheers to the French.

After this, I'm going to eat my body weight in chocodiles.

About that.

No!

They're all yours.

Thank you.

I wasn't sure if we were ever going to see any of this again.

Yeah, we got lucky.

You know, you believe there is such a thing as luck.

What's wrong?

I know you were angry with me for not telling you about the journal, but you

never asked me why I didn't tell you about it. Doesn't matter. It's water

under the bridge. It's a cheap fake, right?

That's the thing.

If I'm being really honest with myself, I don't know if it is.

It's just too crazy. I mean, the mix of cursive and print.

The way that I make my G's white, it looks so real. And I've thought so since

the Hindenburg, and if that's what I'm meant to be, helping Flynn. That's not

what you're meant to be.

If you don't want to write a journal, don't write it.

My whole life, I have believed that everything

happens for a reason.

That for all of us, there is... Some plan for each one of us that comes from

some... Higher power.

Never took you for the spiritual type.

Well, I am.

And what does the spiritual type look like exactly?

I don't know.

The thing is, this is my job now, protecting history, preserving the past,

saving the things that are meant to be.

How can I believe in fate and not believe in my own fate?

Help me out here, Rufus. Don't look at me.

My degrees are in physics, not metaphysics.

Look, we are in uncharted water here.

Have a drink.

Humor me.

Okay.

Okay. Now, did you decide to take that drink?

Or was it pre-written?

and a history that says you were meant to take that drink.

You made the choice, Lucy.

And that's what history is, right?

It's choices.

Some small, stupid, some monumental.

But we make them.

So, if you're not happy with the history that Flynn has predicted for you,
