Previously on Timeless. Connor Mason.

I think he's hiding something from us and I want to know what it is.

You need to understand how deep I'm in with these Rittenhouse people. You know

something about secretly recording people?

I didn't know you were married.

Jessica died.

It was my fault.

Apparently, I'm engaged.

I've never met him before.

I'm gonna go stay with my mom for a few days or weeks.

If you need to spend some time to figure things out first, do it.

You've read the story of Jesse James and how he lived and died.

If you're still in need of something to read, here's the story of Boney and

Clyde.

What? Oh, come on. Come on what?

You did not cook this yourself.

How dare you look at all of the effort that I put into making it look like I

cooked when I clearly ordered him from Chase's.

So, but, you know, what are some of your favorite foods?

That's kind of a random first-day sort of question, don't you think?

Yeah, you're right.

It is. And this is so clearly not a first date.

This is like the opposite of a first date.

What is that?

What's what? Every time I reach for you, you pull away.

That's not true.

What is tonight supposed to be exactly?

I just...

I just thought it'd be good if we spent some time together.

And this is me... poorly trying.

And I am also trying to be patient.

But it's like you came home one day and you were just, uh... You were like a

totally different person.

And... I just don't want to have a job interview.

I want to know why they were engaged.

Absolutely not. This is not a discussion.

It's an order.

No.

You're going to the ballet recital, young lady. You made a commitment to be

one of the fairies, and you're going to stick to that commitment.

Okay, that's my girl.

Yeah. I love you, too.

Sorry. I didn't realize you were all here.

It's okay. I didn't know that you had a... Flynn's taken out the mothership to

May 22, 1934, Arkansas.

Any idea why that date's important?

1934, Arkansas.

That's the Dust Bowl era, Great Depression.

Maybe we can get ahead of these sons of bitches this time.

From that raid on Flynn's warehouse a few weeks back, we found this photo of a

necklace and key dated 1934.

Who's in the picture?

Not sure. We had nothing to put into context until... This was in the

briefcase Rufus got from Anthony Brule in Houston.

May 22nd, 1934. Again, McElroy Bank and Trust in the words, written house key.

Written house key.

What does that mean? No idea. But whatever it is, we think Flynn went back

to get this.

Lucy Rittenhouse?

That was the name Flynn mentioned to you at the Hindenburg?

That's right. Well, I've been looking into it. And what did you find?

A grand total of nothing.

Has he said anything about it since?

No. Well, whatever this Rittenhouse key is, get to this bank. Get it first, try

to find out what it opens. If it's important to Flynn, it's important to

us. That'll be all.

Mr. Mason?

Yes, just seeing how you've made yourself at home. Do you have everything

you need?

I think so, yes.

Excellent.

What? Still wearing the engagement ring of a guy you don't know?

We had a date tonight.

A date?

First date for me, 400th for him.

It was a disaster. I bet.

Just cut the poor bastard loose already. Let him be with someone he's meant to be

with. What if I'm whoever he's supposed to be with?

You can't be serious.

Think about it. In this alternate reality, we were engaged. I was in love.

Do you feel that way about him in the here and now?

No.

Lucy, you're supposed to have your sister.

Believe me, I know that. You should know you're not supposed to be engaged.

In hell, you shouldn't have even met this Noah guy. I know, right? So you

should let him be with who he is meant to be with.

Come back in one piece, okay?

That's the plan.

While we're young people, I need you in the lifeboat.

Yep, sure.

We've stolen what, half a dozen cars on these trips?

We're like hardened car thieves by now. Hey, if they don't want us to borrow

them, they shouldn't leave the keys in them.

Oh.

The card is off. We should tell Agent Christopher what we know about

Rittenhouse. Or not.

At all? No. She's piecing it together, Rufus. It's only a matter of time. Then

let her figure it out on her own.

Or we stall her. Look, I don't know what's worse, Flynn or Rittenhouse, but

if it's Rittenhouse, we're gonna need all the help we can get, someone we can

trust. I trust Gia. Yeah, I bet you do.

I got eyes, you sly dog.

Are you and Gia happening? Is it happening? I told you it was gonna

happen. Okay, can we just concentrate on the mission?

Please, you guys check out the bank, okay? I'll keep watch out here.

It happened.

All right, turn the recorder back on.

Want to hear if I see Flynn? We'll look for the key.

You ready, Miss Daisy?

Hello,

sir. How do, miss?

I am thinking about opening an account.

Do you think you could give me some information on this bank?

Absolutely. Oh, good.

And do you have your husband or father's permission?

Oh, I... I

wouldn't if I were you, handsome.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

This here is the Stick Up, and we're the Barrow Gang.

I'm Clyde Barrow. This here is Bonnie Parker.

At your service.

Bonnie and Clyde? What are you looking at?

You've heard of us?

Don't nobody get banned.

We don't want any other people getting hurt.

As of the start of this year, our good president FDR and all of his infinite

political wisdom is insuring your deposits in this new deal.

Bonnie's wearing the key around her neck.

Need a little help?

Run, okay? Go home now.

Go, go, go.

How we do, baby?

Look at this And we're just here for the bank still so

your money and your family's money, it's just that it's just fine Y

'all have a good day now we gotta get that key come on

Me and all them coppers getting here so fast.

It's Flynn.

He's with the cops.

Flynn must be using the cops to get the key from Bonnie.

Well, we can sit here and chat about it, or we can get the hell out of here. Now,

our buckets are shut up. We got a car across the street.

You want to make a run for it?

You got our backs. We got yours.

You ready?

What about Rufus?

Rufus! Rufus knows the drill. If we get separated, we meet back at the lifeboat.

Besides, he's in a lot better shape than we are.

What the hell?

Looks like we lost him.

Let's go back and start, shall we? This is Bonnie, I'm Clyde. Who are you two?

I'm Lucy.

This here's Wyatt.

What we all doing pulling heat back there? We were casing that bank until

you and Bonnie showed up dragging a bunch of cops with you.

Really?

Just by coincidence, we show up and hit the exact same bank at the exact same

time?

Well, I guess so.

Thanks for screwing it up for us. We screwed it up for you.

You never heard of Lucy and Wyatt?

No.

You heard of the Kansas City Depot job or the Union Bank job in Atchison back

in March?

Yeah, I heard of them.

The reporters figured us for them, but we were never there.

Well, we were.

Scored 25,000 smackers.

Got away scot-free because the cops were going after you instead of us.

I guess we owe you one. Oh, if that's true, you owe us more than one.

How about cutting the sand?

Oh.

No, we spent that.

On the hooch.

Oh.

Yeah.

Park this in the barn here.

You owe me this inside when you're done.

I'll show you what real hooch is.

All right.

So we just grab that key around her neck and we run, right? I think

we need to talk to him first.

Why? These are two killers. What are we waiting for? Agent Christopher said that

we need to figure out what the key is for. Well, we don't know where they got

it, who they got it from, or what the key opens, if it's this important to

Flynn and Rittenhouse.

and we find out, don't you think?

Fine.

But I am not putting on a stage play for these two. First sign of trouble, we

run.

Okay.

We just have to grab the key before 9 a.m.

What's 9 a.m.? That's when one of Clyde's crew members, Henry Methvin,

sells them out.

He turns them over to this legendary ranger, Frank Hamer.

That's the man that was back there at the bank with Flynn.

Hamer and his men...

Pump over 130 bullets into Bonnie and Clyde's car at 9 a.m.

Great.

It just keeps getting better and better.

Look, I still don't understand why you brought me in here. Someone said they

saw you with two of the robbers right before the shooting started.

Sir, I'd have to be out of my mind at being a bank robbing trio with a couple

of white folks. I mean, that's just conspicuous, don't you think?

Conspicuous?

Fancy word, professor.

Is it?

You stay right there.

How much worse could this day get?

You had to open your big mouth.

Where are you going? Uh, you know, sir, this whole thing has been a very scary

experience for me, and I'd really like to go home. I told you.

Stay right there.

Hey.

I'm Frank Hamer. I'm a special investigator.

That bounty hunter?

He said that you and I need to have a little talk.

Bankers, Alice?

Hi.

Can't imagine what would take priority over our work here. I have a team

analyzing all the evidence we recovered from the raid on Flynn's warehouse and

from Anthony Brule's briefcase. With your respect to the government, but

private sector, we have analytical tools that would blow your mind.

I'd love to take a crack at it. That's very generous of you, Mr. Mason. I'd

appreciate that.

Well, excellent.

Of course, I'd have to get your security clearance raised first.

Of course. There's often a lot of red tape, though.

Authorizations, sign-offs.

So you'll have to be patient.

Please, don't mind me.

This is he.

That bounty hunter told me that you were an accomplice to the two shooters

working with Bonnie and Clyde. No, that is not true.

He said that their names are Lucy and Wyatt and that your name is Rufus

Carlin. He said that you're their driver, which makes you an accomplice to

armed robbery and the murder of two law enforcement officers.

Wait, what did he say my name was? Rufus Carlin.

And, uh, what does my driver's license say my name is?

His name is Wesley Snipes.

It says so right here.

It's a forgery.

Forgery? It's got a stamp on it and everything. You can't forge that.

He's not Wesley Snipes. Trust me.

Come on, just look the other way and give me three minutes alone with him.

I'll prove it.

You know, I was working Nacogdoches one time.

Had a man in custody, a colored man, accused of murder.

Guilty of sin, by the way.

Outside the courthouse was a mob.

Thousands of them, screaming to have them lynched.

But I blocked the courthouse door.

So, if I ain't afraid to stand in front of 2,000 screaming townspeople...

What makes you think I'm afraid to stand in front of you, bounty hunter?

I was just trying to stop Clyde Barrow's gang before more good people die. And

for your help, I promised to get you that key around Bonnie's neck to return

to your client.

Now, I don't think Wesley Snipes is who you say he is.

We do have an actual member of the Barrow gang who's willing to help us,

though. So, you can keep barking up your tree, or you can help me get Bonnie and

Clyde.

A toast to close calls.

Sit down. I'm sitting down.

Oh, you like it, huh?

I've just never seen anything like it.

Where'd you get it?

Clyde got it for me when we got engaged.

You're engaged?

Go on, tell it. You know you want to.

Oh, hell.

He woke me up in the middle of the night.

Boney, boney, look, I got something for you.

And then there he was, down on one knee, holding this pretty little thing.

And I stopped him right there. I said, you know damn well I can't use

something, bitch.

Tell him why.

Because I'm already married.

And that's exactly why I didn't steal you on engagement, Red.

I was trying to be considerate. Wait, you're already married to someone else?

Oh, yeah.

She took up Roy's name tattooed on her thigh. Look here, I should... Stop it.

How do you think that makes men feel?

Yeah, but you know I only ever see a baby. Oh, yeah.

I remember when we first met.

This is back when people could barely afford a saccharine.

You should have seen him.

18, three-piece suit, gold money clip, filled with dough, and driving a brand

-new fleet when he had a high-wide demo on it.

When I looked at her, I knew it was meant to be.

He said, girl, you're about the prettiest little thing I ever seen.

And then I said... My mama don't like me talking to no strange boys.

And then he said, well, that's too bad, because... I'm never going to leave your

side.

And then I'll be his.

Forever.

It's even better than I read about.

Like in the papers?

Yeah.

In the papers.

Well, stop the presses.

Here I'm going on and on.

How'd he do it with you?

Do what?

Propose, silly. I mean, look at that, right?

I forgot.

You're telling me you don't remember something like that?

Of course I remember.

I... It was, uh... I took her up to the top of this hill in West Texas.

View of the valley.

So I'm getting ready to set.

There's a tree on top.

A great big oak.

I kissed her for the first time under that tree.

Oh, God, that must have been something.

I got down on a knee. I pulled the ring box out.

Only thing was, I opened it up upside down.

So the ring falls out into the damn grass.

Couldn't find the thing anywhere.

I was so nervous.

And finally she gets down on her knee there with me, puts her hand on my

cheek, and then just says, yes.

And she gives me a kiss that I will never forget.

Then we look for the ring together and we find it.

Do you remember that, honey?

Yeah.

Hot damn.

True love, huh?

What you writing over there, huh?

Oh, just one of my poems.

It's about me and Clyde and... Everything that we've been through

together.

You liked it, right?

I love it.

I'm just trying to get all my thoughts down while I still can.

Still?

Yeah, we get that feeling like you know what's gonna happen next.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, a lot lately.

Yeah, well, we just don't think we have that much time left, is all.

You don't know that.

Oh, it's all right.

You know, as long as we can go out together.

I can do that.

That's all that matters.

Yeah.

Hey, um, Clyde.

Where'd you get that necklace?

I'd like to get one just like it for my... baby doll face.

You can't.

It's unique.

Unique?

Unique how?

Because of who I robbed it from.

Well, who?

Henry damn Ford himself.

Oh, God.

No.

Clyde decided to write him a letter.

He said, dear sir, while I still got breath in my lungs, I will tell you what

a dandy car you make and I have drove fours exclusively

when I could get away with one.

Even if my business hasn't been strictly legal, don't hurt anything to tell you

what a fine car you got in the VA.

Signed, Clyde Champion Barrow.

We found out in the papers that he framed it and put it up on his wall.

When I was up in the area on business, I decided to case the place. You know, I

wanted to see it for myself.

I blew a safe in one of the rooms.

Inside, there was this.

Can I see it?

Solid gold, heavy.

Wow.

It's really old.

Now, what does that unlock?

Nothing like we've ever paid.

And look, it was always funny writing on it, but no idea what it means that way.

It's Latin.

Latin? Yeah. Oh, it's Latin.

Get this.

Mr. Ford prints a letter in my hometown paper offering $50,000 for the return of

his missing key.

I smelled a trap.

My key's worth that kind of money.

Uh-huh.

Want to help me in the kitchen, sweetheart?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Henry Ford?

What, is he part of Rittenhouse?

How far back do these dicks go?

In Latin, on the key, it means the key to the beginning of all time and the key

to the end of all time.

Oh, boy, that's not disturbing at all.

What does that even mean?

How much time till these two get ambushed?

I don't know, 11 hours, I think.

I don't like the way Clyde is twirling that gun.

They're drunk.

They'll pass out soon enough. As soon as they fall asleep, we grab the key.

Find Rufus and get the hell out of here.

You know this man?

Take a walk.

Just answer the damn question.

This man a member of the Burrow Gang or not? No, I don't know him.

I told you, Bonnie and Clyde ain't working with no one else right now. You

know, Henry, we had a deal.

Borough gang.

Fort Clemency and the Grapevine murders.

Go get them at the cabin.

The what?

The cabin.

Near Storch Plantation. They're probably hiding there now.

You're free to go.

Thank you.

You're a good man, Mr. Hamer.

Just trying to do the right thing.

Um, is there a back way out?

I'm here.

I'm listening.

Agent Christopher's been analyzing the evidence she's collected from Garcia

Flynn and Anthony Brawl, and I think it's refocusing her investigation toward

Rittenhouse. That's unfortunate.

If I were you, I'd do everything in my power to dissuade her.

If I can't, then we will.

You know, I'm tired of these threats of physical violence towards myself, Rufus,

and now Agent Christopher. These decisions come from the top, above you.

Above me? You don't think anyone will notice the killing of a senior Homeland

Security field agent?

Oh, our organization has survived many industrious, well-intentioned

government officials and journalists over the years.

Trust me, Agent Christopher won't be the exception.

We're on the move. I still need to talk to your prisoner.

I cut him loose.

You did what?

Methlen said he wasn't a member of the gang.

He'd know.

Now we got a location on Biden and Clyde and those other two.

Methlen's gonna take us right to him.

You in or not?

I thought you said they'd pass out.

Maybe if they ever came up for air.

I mean, you believe them, the way they are together?

Yeah, might be robbers and killers, but you can't say they're not in love.

No, but I mean, just all the meant-to-be's and...

Yeah, what about them?

There's a couple billion people in the world, and they're the only ones for

each other.

What are the odds?

Oh, what?

You're all about fate and destiny, except when it comes to love?

I don't know.

I've seen attraction and chemistry, but... I'm a lightning bolt from the

heavens.

The engagement story you told.

That was how you proposed to Jessica.

There's only one person for you in the whole world, and you lose them.

Does that mean that you have to live the rest of your life without anyone else?

I think... you.

We, anyone, has to be open to possibility.

Are you expecting someone?

I thought I heard a noise.

Who is it?

Hi. It's me, Henry.

Hey.

We thought you got nabbed. Yeah, they tried.

Took me three towns to shake them. Honey, go get dressed.

Who's this?

This is Lucy and Wyatt. Lucy and Wyatt. This is one of her best friends, Henry

Methvin.

They helped us out with the bank job yesterday.

Did they now?

Guess we were just in the right place at the right time.

And where do you say you were from?

She didn't. I didn't ask you.

Hey, why don't y'all cool off while Bonnie and I talk to Henry?

Come on, y'all be son of a bitch.

Is he the one that you're... Yes, that gives up Bonnie and Clyde.

He's a psychopath.

He's the one that took them on the killing spree across the Midwest.

And then Methvin cuts a deal with Hamer to lure Bonnie and Clyde into the trap,

which is nowhere near here.

So what is he doing here now?

Something is very wrong.

We need to get that key and go.

Thank God that you're okay.

How did you get here? I mean, after you ditched me. Come on. We didn't have a

choice. You guys get the key?

Yes. Let's get the hell out of here. But it's still around Bonnie's neck.

Jeez, look, we don't have much time. Flynn is on his way here with a bunch of

cops and air pack and serious heat. But the ambush change, it's happening early.

Well, well.

I thought the party was inside.

Sit down, Bonnie. I told you we couldn't trust him. He is a friend of ours.

I know you.

I seen him talking to the cops, Clyde. Me?

The cops are on their way to this cabin right now because your friend, Henry, is

it? Sold you out. That's a lie, Clyde. Let's just kill him right now. Take it

easy, Clyde. Shut up.

I always knew there was something funny about you. Kill him, Clyde.

Get it over with.

You know, Henry, we had a deal.

Borrow gang.

What the hell is that thing?

It's a voice recorder.

Like they use in the talkies.

Go get him at the cabin.

That sounds exactly like you, Henry. Make it stop.

Bonnie,

Clyde, I'm real sorry.

Don't move.

What the hell is this?

Rufus.

Henry was right.

You're liars. That's not true, Bonnie.

We just came for the necklace.

It's all we need. You can go back to your lives.

I ain't just gonna give it to you.

You have to kill us both.

You can do whatever the hell you want

We will be together forever.

Someday they'll go down together.

Miss Barker? They'll bury them side by side.

Don't do anything stupid.

Careful.

To fuel be grief.

To the law a relief.

But it's death.

for Bonnie and Clyde.

So Flynn wasn't there to change history. No, not this time.

And you never figured out what the key was for or how it related to whatever

Rittenhouse is?

No. How Flynn even knew about the key to begin with?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

We were just outgunned.

Honestly lucky to get out in one piece.

Well, Flynn has the key now.

Perhaps one of your crack analysts can figure out what to do next.

If not, my offer to help still stands.

Hey. Hey.

Hey,

about that kiss back there.

You know, it was in the moment and Clyde seemed like he was...

So I had to make it look real. No, of course. It was smart. I mean, we had to

get the story on the key and pretend. It was just playing a role. I know. It

worked.

Anyway, sorry if that took you by surprise.

I'll live.

Thanks.

All right. Well, I will see you later, baby doll.

See you around, sweetheart.

Join you?

Sure.

How'd you know I was... You forget what I do for a living?

You've worked with Connor Mason how many years now?

Um... Nine.

Nine years.

Is he in any trouble?

No.

I don't think so. Rufus, are you aware that he went bankrupt, nearly lost

everything, and then about five years ago, he was funded to the tune of $2.5

billion?

Did someone else finance his little time travel project?

Where did the money come from?

I...

You know, I really don't get involved in Connor's finances or anything of that

nature. Have you ever seen this man?

Was it his money?

Look, Rufus, before I worked for the NCTC, I won't say how long ago, I was

just a cop.

And I still am.

What do I know about closed time like curves and butterfly effect crap? But I

do know people.

And I know you're a good guy.

Just as much as I know Connor Mason is hiding something.

Agent Christopher, I... Please trust me.

I am just trying to do the right thing here.

A man named Hamer said the exact same thing to me today.

Oh, yeah?

He sounded just like you. You would have liked him. This man he's meeting with?

Stop.

If there is anyone in this world that you love, you will stop looking into

this.

Right now.

Are you threatening me? I am the last person to threaten you.

I'm warning you.

Please.

I don't want to see you or anyone you love get hurt.

I didn't take this job because I'm afraid, Rufus.

You let me worry about the people I love.

I'm trusting you.

I'll tell you everything I know. About Connor. About Rittenhouse.
