Original subtitles

Previously on Timeless. Jake Neville, NSA.

This project's command was taken over by the National Security Agency.

The agents in control of Mason Industries, they're Rittenhouse.

She is there right now.

This is Rittenhouse we're talking about. They could kill her. Monsieur Chauvet?

Oui? I have so many questions.

Scary Rittenhouse dude is your father? The guy who's been terrorizing me,

that's your dad. I will never be a part of this. Do you hear me? Rittenhouse

isn't a choice. It's your legacy.

I'm just a secretary.

God. Don't set yourself short.

I saw their drawing on your desk. You're very gifted. I bet one day you'll do

some remarkable things at Lachlan. Maria Tompkins was Flynn's mother.

What are we gonna do about Rittenhouse?

We fight.

How?

You've been warming this bench for the past two hours.

Look, I was about to step out for my fantasy football draft, but I can't

leave you here looking like this.

House rules.

So, the penny for your thoughts?

Might make you a millionaire, Father.

The rectory could use an upgrade.

My wife was the practicing Catholic.

She dragged me to Mass once a month like clockwork.

I never really took it seriously myself.

Neither did I for the longest time.

I have a job.

In the beginning, I thought it was important that it could help a lot of

people, hopefully even bring my wife back to me. But no matter what I do,

nothing gets better.

If anything, it only gets worse.

I get it. But when times are tough, you just gotta trust that God has a plan.

What if you could change that plan?

I don't follow.

What if you could, uh...

Make a person go left instead of right, backward instead of forward. What if you

had the power to change the course of history?

Does that mean nothing's meant to be?

Does that mean God's not there?

Would he stop me? What are you asking?

I'm asking for absolution.

Guess this is what North Korea's like.

Listen, whatever happens, just do what they say.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Flynn made another jump.

So glad you could finally join us, Ms. Preston, Mr. Carlin.

I, for one, am sick of waiting for Garcia Flynn to dictate our actions.

No more playing defense.

We're going to take the son of a bitch out once and for all.

How?

1962, Houston, Texas.

1962, that's the year before the JFK assassination, but why Houston?

Do you remember Maria Tompkins?

Wyatt Logan met her during your NASA mission?

Yeah, Garcia Flynn's mother, yes, but what does she have to do with it? In

1962, Tompkins was a 17-year-old junior at Sam Houston High School.

The mission is to eliminate her.

Whoa. You can't be serious. No, no, no. There is no way that we are doing that.

She's innocent.

We don't expect either of you to pull the trigger.

Meet your new tactical commander, Sergeant Major Caleb Sullivan.

You just lead him to the front door, and he'll take care of the rest.

Ma'am?

Don't ma'am me. Okay, so you just want us to play wingman to the Terminator

over there?

And you?

You're fine with this? You're just gonna stand there and let this happen? Flynn's

mother may be innocent, but she still raised a monster.

Given your performance, this is maybe the only way to get this done.

Forget it.

We refuse. You cannot make us do this. This is not right.

Maybe I haven't been clear.

This operation has been green-lit at the highest levels.

It's a go.

You refuse, we will charge you with aiding and abetting a wanted terrorist.

So, you can either spend the next few hours working for me, or the next 10 to

15 years wishing you had.

That clear enough for you?

I'm sorry, Agent Neville's bedside manner leaves something to be desired.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you're here. You have to understand,

Flynn is out of control. If this one death can save hundreds... Save

Rittenhouse, you mean.

This is the murder of an innocent girl, period.

He cares nothing about history or collateral damage. And what is his

mother? What is she?

We need you on this trip.

You're our chosen historian. You always have been. Go to hell. Lucy!

I know we're asking the unthinkable.

This isn't who you are. You have such a good heart, and I admire that. I'm proud

of you.

I only ask that you do this one mission.

The next one...

We'll be saving your sister.

I fully intend to honor the deal you've made with Agent Christopher, and I'm in

a much better position to do that than she could ever be.

That's what you want, isn't it?

More than anything.

Listen, Neil.

Hey, could you? Hey, what?

Never mind.

Just so you know you get a little queasy on reentry.

Don't worry about me. I'm not your dance partner

Are we here?

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

You did it!

Okay, um... We just have to reconfigure the coordinates.

Do you think Mason is gonna be able to track us? Not after what I did to his

computers.

I've lost them. What do you mean you've lost them? They've jumped. They're no

longer in... Nothing's

responding. Get them up.

Where in the hell are they? The system's crashing.

Damn!

Rufus.

I can try to run a diagnostic. Step away from the controls, Gio.

Now! Did you know he was going to do this?

Did you? No!

Will somebody tell me what the hell is going on? This is Rufus's doing.

It's a computer worm. We're dead in the water. We can't track the lifeboat.

Gia's not to be trusted. She's sleeping with him.

Mason! Rufus thinks she's smarter than me.

Right? Well, I'll handle this myself. You get the hell out!

You held the gun like I said, huh? Yeah, pulled the trigger between breaths.

Rufus, you're a badass.

Is my badass for me scared out of my mind? Okay.

So, we just stole a giant piece of top-secret machinery and made ourselves

fugitives from the U.S. government.

All good.

We did the right thing.

If Rittenhouse is running the shop, they can't have the time machine. Your sense

of calm is super annoying.

Rufus? They can't track us? You shut them down? Yeah, but it's only a matter

of hours before Mason is able to counteract a worm and get the network

back online.

How much time does that give us? The lifeboat's battery is drained after two

jumps. It'll need four hours to recharge, if it even can, and that's...

Okay, okay.

It's all right.

One step at a time.

First up... Let's go get your sister back.

I think that's reckless.

Flynn is still out there. With all due respect, ma'am, we don't work for the

government anymore.

I think Lucy deserves a shot.

I'll start the charge.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So, what's the plan?

Okay, so, um...

We go to 1979, UC Berkeley, and we make sure that my mom and Henry Wallace meet.

They always said that it was love at first sight. They knew the minute that

they laid their eyes on each other.

Well, let's go play Cupid.

It's Flynn.

He's jumped.

Frankie says you have something of vital interest to me.

These tax ledgers were seized during a raid on one of your establishments a few

years ago.

Key evidence for the tax evasion case they're building against you.

Where'd you get

these? The post office, believe it or not.

The Treasury Department keeps a poorly guarded file room there, Mr. Capone.

That's your big gift.

As if they're going to get me for tax evasion. Get him out of here!

I also have this letter from your accountant, Mr. Mattingly.

He makes some fairly scandalous accusations.

With this evidence, believe me, you'll be going to prison.

Pay Mr. Mattingly a visit.

Make sure he can't write any more letters.

I guess I owe you a debt of gratitude.

What the hell are we supposed to do? It's one problem at a time.

And right now, that is Flynn taking the mothership to 1931. Except now,

Rittenhouse has taken over Mason Industries, and they might be ten times

worse than Flynn.

Maybe we're fighting the wrong battle. You're the one who said we can't let

Flynn take a wrecking ball to everyone and everything.

That was before we stole a time machine, became fugitives, and Gia was forced to

work next to a bunch of homicidal dicks. Rufus, like it or not, we're the only

ones who can stop Flynn from hurting people. And what about my sister?

Huh?

I mean, this was my last shot. If we don't do this now, I may never see my

sister again.

They track us down after we get back from Chicago. It is over. My sister will

be gone forever.

Okay, look.

I get it.

None of us should have to give up our families.

I know, I'm the last person that should be saying that because I'm a selfish ass

that went after my wife, but still.

Letting Flynn murder through time?

That's madness.

And I think somewhere deep down, we all can admit that.

Rittenhouse or not, Flynn's not gonna stop until we stop him.

So why us?

There's nobody else but us.

Hello? Gia, it's me.

Are you okay?

Rufus, what?

Did you send me a burner?

Yeah, I got it from watching The Wire. Listen. Okay, where are you? I don't

have a lot of time right now. You are in a lot of trouble. Whatever you did, shut

down the network.

Mason's pissed. He's gonna get it up and running again, and then he's going to

find you. That's why I'm gonna need you to run interference.

But how the hell am I supposed to do that?

Delay. Distract. Do whatever you can to keep them off of our backs as long as

you can.

Rufus, these guys are everywhere.

Gia, we can't.

Let them have the time machine, all right?

I'm so sorry for putting you on the spot.

The last thing I ever wanted was for you to become a double agent, believe me. I

know how hard it is. What do you mean? What the hell are you talking about?

I'll explain everything to you, I swear. But you have to do this. We need you.

I need you.

Okay.

Okay, just come back to me safe.

Promise? You too.

Or I wouldn't be able to live with myself.

Hey, what's up?

Who were you talking to?

Myself.

I come here to think, clear my mind.

There's a lot going on.

Empty your pockets.

Okay, a little handsy there. I don't remember swiping right.

I think I was born yesterday.

Hey, singer!

Put her on ice.

She doesn't leave the building

Be

careful

Oh

my god you guys

This is terrible. We stand out like sore thumbs.

Well, there's no time to go shopping. Flynn's already way ahead of us. I say

we own it.

Embrace our fashion forwardness, stop Flynn, and get the hell out of here.

What if Flynn has already done whatever it is he came here to do?

So, March 13th, 1931, Chicago.

Where's Flynn headed?

There's only one place I can think of.

What can I say?

The crooked lawyers for the prosecution somehow lost all the evidence they had

on me.

But you ask me.

They never had it in the first place.

That's Al Capone?

He looks so young. He was only 26 when he became a crime boss.

And lost them in bank failures. They should be the ones going on trial.

Is he not afraid to be out in the open like this? The people of Chicago loved

him. They would chant his name at Cubs games.

So it's true, then.

All charges against you have been dropped.

With no evidence.

The Honorable Judge Wilkerson had no choice but to drop the case.

Justice has been served.

Wait, wait, wait.

This isn't right.

That's it. Look.

Go, go, go.

Kwon is supposed to be going to prison for tax evasion today.

Flynn must have gotten him off somehow. Well, that's not troubling at all.

Mr. Ness.

For some reason, none of them good, Flynn has already wormed his way in with

Capone. Well, with all that mob muscle, it's going to be hard to get close to

Flynn or Capone. Which makes this a first-class grade-A cluster.

Maybe he can help. Mr. Ness, it appears if Al Capone is the untouchable one.

Get a comment?

Any more questions?

Mr.

Ness?

Mr. Elliot Ness?

I said no comment.

Oh, we're not the press, we're, um... We're private investigators.

Yeah.

Uh, I'm Connery, this is Costner, and this here is our driver, Robert.

De Niro.

We're trying to get information on the tall man with the dark features with

Capone. Did you see him? He's not from Chicago.

I haven't seen him before.

No, he's definitely not from around here.

Neither are we. I can tell. Are you wearing a woman's sweater?

His name is Garcia Flynn, and we think he's teaming up with Al Capone.

He is the most dangerous gangster in San Francisco. William Randolph first. He

hired us himself to dig up some dirt on him and try and get him off the streets.

Yeah, and whatever he's up to with Capone.

It's way worse than tax evasion.

You know, I told them going after Capone for his taxes would never work.

Well, it could have worked.

Hey!

Hey, bathroom break!

The burner.

We couldn't track it.

Your boyfriend covered every base. Where are they, Gia?

Where the hell is my machine? I don't know.

And you expect us to believe you?

Look, he didn't say. He just said he was worried about me. Do you have any idea

how much trouble you're in?

This is the National Security Agency. Need I remind you?

Be smart.

Play ball.

What's so funny?

You know, my first day on the job, I was so scared.

Intimidated. I was in awe of you.

I mean, I was coming to work for the Connor Mason. I mean, my hero.

All I wanted to do was to make you proud.

But right now, it's like that moment where Dorothy pulls back the curtain and

she sees the wizard for who he truly is.

A coward.

Do you really think that this childish,

plucky snark is going to help you?

This is the real world. You take your time, you think and decide.

Help us or be arrested and incarcerated.

Nice place.

Very cozy.

It's a rat trap.

Capone was tipped off as to where I lived, so I started getting death

threats, occasional brick through the window.

Sent my wife to Cincinnati to stay with her sister.

And I moved in here.

How do you cope with all that?

Loved ones and family and that much danger?

How do you still go after Capone?

Well, how could I not?

Couldn't look my wife in the eye and tell her that I'd given up.

Couldn't look myself in the mirror.

Where could we find Capone right now?

We are in a little bit of a time crunch.

Garcia Flynn is very dangerous.

Well, and Capone isn't?

Not by comparison.

Capone, the man responsible for the St.

Valentine's Day massacre. I think we can all agree that both men are incredibly

dangerous.

Why don't we just focus on finding them and stopping them from doing whatever it

is they're planning on doing?

It's okay. That's Billy. He's one of my guys.

Come in.

No.

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

What? No.

Elliot Ness, he can't be dead. He's not supposed to die for another 26 years.

How'd they even know he was here?

What do you think?

Flynn. This can't be happening to me.

Capone is out there on the loose, and the only guy that can stop him is gone.

We gotta get out of here right now.

We're just supposed to leave him here like this? What do you want to do, wait

for the cops?

We don't have IDs.

I'm wearing buttonfly jeans from The Gap.

There's nothing we can do.

Let's go.

Where are we going?

Find Capone.

What about Flynn?

One problem at a time.

Stop saying that. Why do you keep saying that?

Do you know what the very first Delta mission was?

1979 Iran?

That's right.

Go get the hostages out of Tehran.

One of my Delta instructors, name is Diamond Dave, he was on that mission.

The plane carrying the operatives lands in the desert somewhere to refuel.

While it's on the ground, a Navy helicopter crashes into it due to the

heavy winds.

So Dave, he wakes up from a nap.

He sees the plane is on fire.

Now he still thinks they're 20,000 feet up. He can't find a parachute, so he

just flings himself right out the door.

Right through the smoke. Okay, this is all really nice, but what's the point of

this story? So the guys afterwards asked Dave, if you thought we were 20,000 feet

in the air, why the hell would you fling yourself out the door without a

parachute? Dave just looks at him and he says, all I knew was the plane was on

fire, and I figured one problem at a time.

First, he stopped Capone.

And then we worry about what Flynn wants with him.

So if Al Capone is supposed to be behind bars, how do we put him there?

I don't know. I mean, without Ness, this is just... Lucy.

I know who we can ask.

Hello. I'm so sorry to bother you so late, but are you by any chance Richard

Hart?

What can I do for you?

Well, uh...

We need your help.

It's about your brother.

Al Capone?

Look, I don't know who you people think I am. You're Jimmy Capone?

Born James Vincenzo Capone?

My name's Richard Hart.

You left Brooklyn when you were 16 and, you know, changed your name for a fresh

start and wound up becoming a prohibition agent.

And you haven't seen your family or your brother ever since you left.

But you know what Al's been up to.

You can't read the morning paper without seeing his name. Keep it down, will you?

My wife and kids don't know my real name.

Nobody does.

Did Al set you?

We look like officers to you?

You're from the Bureau then?

Is that what this is?

I work hard.

I don't take bribes. Just because I was born a Capone, that doesn't mean I act

like one. We know you're a good man and an honorable cop, and that's why we came

to you in the first place. We really need your help. Who is it, dear?

Honey, it's... These people are lost.

I'm just gonna give them directions out of here. It won't be a minute.

Now, listen to me.

Your little brother, Al, just sent Elliot and us to the morgue.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Truly, I am.

But what do you want with me?

We need you to bring us to see your brother.

What? In person. You crazy?

And then we need you to arrest him.

You are crazy.

Al!

Where's the fire?

I was having dinner with Wrigley and some broads when this Neanderthal drags

me out like I'm some kind of Joe.

Who's this guy?

This is the guy who touched the untouchable Elliot Ness.

Garcia Flynn.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Mayor.

How'd you know where Ness was holed up? I couldn't even find out. Exactly.

He's done more for me in one day than you've done since I put your sorry ass

in office.

And the only thing he asked in return was to talk to you.

That so?

What the hell about?

Are you crazy?

I'm the mayor of Chicago.

And also a member of Rittenhouse.

Who sent you?

I sent myself.

I have some questions.

I need some honest answers.

Mr. Hart, Al should be in prison.

We need you to bring him in before he kills any more people. I don't have

anything to do with my brother.

Just leave me out of it. You're a federal agent.

I take it Remy's on the street.

I'm no mess. I'm no untouchable.

And like you said, I haven't seen Alan over 20 years.

What makes you think I could just waltz in there and see him now? You can try.

What makes you think I'd want to?

He's my little brother.

I love this stupid son of a bitch. I wiped his damn nose, took him to buy

candy on the corner. What makes you think that I want to be the one to put

him behind bars? Mr. Hart. We're done here.

And if you tell anyone who I am, you're going to have more than one cup on

the...

Did you know that he takes ads out in newspapers looking for you all over the

country for years He misses you I

Understand how hard it must be for you to face him I've had to give up family

too and nobody should have to do that. But maybe he will listen to you Maybe

you could save him Al's beyond being saved.

Mr. Hart out of all the jobs that you could have chosen you pick cop

Why is that?

Don't you think it's because you want to set right what Al has done wrong?

Because you know that somebody has to stop him.

No matter how hard it is to do, you have to do what's right.

You have to help us.

There's nobody else but you.

Hey,

watch where you're bleeding. That's an antique.

Tell me about the meeting. I don't know what you're talking about. What meeting?

The one Julian Chauvet told me about in Paris four years ago.

Julian Chauvet was killed in Paris four years ago. Felt like it was yesterday.

In his last few breaths, he told me about this Rittenhouse meeting where all

members get together.

But he didn't have the details, so here I am asking you...

The details.

Try to bet.

Wait, hold on, hold on. The meeting was two years ago, okay? Two years ago.

Where?

D.C.

All the written house big shots get together to make sure everyone's on the

same page.

But it only happens every 25 years. The next summit is not until... 1954.

Yeah, 1954.

A long time to wait. Not as long as you'd think.

No, no, stop, stop!

Al, you can't do this. I'm not going to do anything.

He's the one who wants you dead, but I don't want the mess.

Take him down to the docks.

Thank you for the introduction.

Hey, thank you.

Doing those tax ledgers and this, you killed two very big headaches for me

today.

But the way I see it, I still owe you one.

And I hate all the favors.

I think I know a way to make it even.

Swanky Dicks.

Lexington Hotel was the height of luxury at the time.

The time of what?

Hey, are you ready for this?

I know I'm not ready.

Leaving home was the smartest thing I ever done. This was the dumbest.

Hey! Franco Lucio.

Looks like you finally hit puberty, huh?

Who the hell are you?

Who the hell am I?

I'm the one that broke your nose over Shelly Russo.

Jimmy,

is that you?

We figured you were dead.

Not yet.

Who are they?

A friend of mine.

Al's gonna be over the moon when he sees you.

Come on.

You know what I just realized?

What? We're totally the untouchables right now.

Oh, boy.

We're up.

That's great.

Where are they?

1931, March the 13th, Chicago, Illinois. When they jump back, we can track their

general area.

Well that's a start.

Get teams ready to roll.

What the hell happened?

You said you had them!

What did you do?

I still have to pee.

Hey, boss.

Sorry to interrupt, but your brother's here to see you.

I'm busy.

Tell Ralphie to come back in the morning.

It ain't Ralphie.

Jimmy.

I was in the neighborhood.

You got a lot of damn nerves showing up here after all these years.

You gained weight?

Yeah. You got old.

Who are they?

These are my friends.

Even that guy?

I'm likable.

You people ain't from Chicago.

We're from California, actually.

Ah, land of the fruits and nuts.

That explains it.

Boy, first time I'm seeing these famous scars on your face. That's something.

Don't say the nickname they gave me.

I freaking hate it.

The papers say you got him in the war, but come on.

What's the real story?

Between us?

When we were teenagers, I insulted Frank's sister.

This was his way of getting back at me.

Frankie, you did this?

You deserved it.

Bosses had to sit down, make peace.

Frankie's one of my best guys now.

I'm a prohibition agent.

Get out of here.

You're a G-man?

Not a very good one.

So what are you doing here?

You in some kind of trouble or something? Maybe I'm here to see you.

After all these years?

Come on.

Let's not lie to each other, Jimmy.

Actually, we were the ones that asked him to come here.

We're looking for someone.

Tall guy.

Name is Garcia Flynn?

Yeah.

He was here.

Man of his word.

Did a couple favors for me.

I did one for him.

Did he happen to mention Rittenhouse?

Yeah. Something about a summit in D.C. in 1954.

All of them all together, whatever that means.

Jimmy, tell me you didn't come here just to ask me about this guy, Flynn.

I'm here to bring you in, Al.

You're serious?

It's one thing raising hell as kids in Brooklyn, but you're out of control.

I'm sorry, Al. I love you. But someone has to stop you before you hurt more

folks. You got some boys walking in here out of the blue like this.

Dad died 11 years ago.

My brother, remember him?

Back in 24. Did you know that?

Do you even care? Of course I care. But not enough to come to the funerals.

Mom was heartbroken, you know.

I started wondering if he was even still alive. And now...

You show up here saying you're some damn federal agent, and that you and these

clowns are gonna bring me in?

That guy Flynn said this tree might come looking for him.

And when he left, he asked me to do him one more favor.

I'm being a man of my word.

Hold it! No, no, no, please.

Please, please.

I made a deal to take out the colored fellow.

Flynn says they can't follow him if I do.

Can't let you do that, Jimmy.

You pull a gun on me?

Your own brother?

Lower your weapon, Al.

What are you gonna do? You gonna shoot me?

I don't want to.

But you want to take me to prison, is that right?

Old Dad must be turning over in his damn grave right now. Dad wasn't around to

see what you became. Neither were you!

You want to know why I disappeared?

Because I saw what you were becoming and I didn't want to end up like that, like

all this.

I may be a Capone, but you and I are nothing alike.

You're right.

We're not.

But we're family.

And family's more important than anything.

Which is why I know you won't shoot.

You're gonna stop the bleeding.

What's the status on this outage?

Oh, everything's on track. We'll be up and running in a few hours.

And you'll be able to locate them when they jump back? Within a 50 square mile

radius, yes.

All we need is time.

Good.

But if you want speedier results going forward...

Yes.

I assume you know about the NSA data farm in Utah.

I need access to their 12 exabytes of raw data, which I have a sneaking

suspicion you can provide.

And what will you do with it?

My team has developed advanced mining software, more advanced than anything

the NSA will produce in the next 10 years.

It gives us the ability to tap into cell phones, email accounts, satellites,

traffic cams, that sort of thing.

Now, not only will we be able to find Lucy, Rufus, Wyatt Logan, Garcia Flynn,

and the lifeboat, but if our test works, we'll have the capability to pinpoint

anyone, anywhere, at any time you want.

Or we could of course just wait and hope for the best.

How bad is he? The boy's still in there.

We gotta get him to a hospital.

In the 30s?

No way.

And they were segregated and not good.

Yeah, well, we can't exactly march him into an ER back home.

Our faces are on every single government watch list out there.

I'm sorry, Rufus. I'm so sorry.

I should have... I should have reacted faster.

One problem at a time, right?

Yeah. Get me to the lifeboat. I'll take us home.

Police are on the way.

Ambulance, too.

I don't know if we can wait that long.

He's lost a lot of blood.

Can you stand?

We're just gonna take him there ourselves.

Thank you for your help. I know this was hard for you.

I'm sorry.

Okay, all right?

Come on, Rufus.

Stay with us.

Okay, Rufus.

Rufus, look at me. You have to get us back, okay? We don't know how. Come on,

buddy.

I just... I just... I'm all right.

You want me to push the button?
