Dr. Ben Song risked everything

when he used the Quantum Leap Accelerator

to travel back in time.

Now our team's working to find out why.

As he leaps between bodies with no memory of who he is,

he still has one hope...

That his next leap takes him back

to the place and people he calls home.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

You just got here and now you want to leave?

Put the suitcases down!

Did you even read the letter that I wrote you?

I don't want to go to San Francisco.

You know, Papa warned me about you.

He said you were selfish and cold,

and I didn't believe him.

I remember you from when I was little.

You were my abuelo,

and I was your pequeñita Valentina.

I could see in your eyes how much you cared for me.

Maybe I was wrong.

Let's... um, can we just start again?

As I'm getting older, it's just...

Papa built this town for all of us.

He was your son,

and this is how you choose to honor his memory?

You're... you're upset, I get it,

but maybe we can start from the beginning. Can we...

about why he left,

about why he didn't say anything.

And I know that you didn't want me to jog his memory

1879?

Ladies and gentlemen of Salvation,

I come before you on behalf of the estimable Board of Directors

for the Southwest Pacific Railroad Company

to remind you that the deadline for you to accept

their offering of a rather generous

and life-changing compensation for your land and property

- presently draws a pace. - Who is that guy?

Salvation had its heyday during the Gold Rush,

but those days are long gone.

This here boomtown's gone bust.

Well, good riddance, I say!

This town ain't worth fighting for. Fishing's no good.

Hunting's no good.

Ain't nothing left to trap.

Hush your mouth, Joe. Go inside and get another drink.

Should you choose to reject my employer's offer,

they have empowered me and my posse here

to see to your permanent relocation,

at which point all that was once yours

will become theirs.

We told your employer we reject their paltry offer...

Tell them, Sheriff.

...and to inform you that we have petitioned the governor

against the railroad's claims...

[GUNSHOT] [GRUNTS]

[GASPING] [HORSE WHINNIES]

Ain't no sheriff or governor gonna help you out here!

No one cares, which is to say, in summation,

resist me at your own peril.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Citizens of Salvation, you know who I am,

so you know what this town means to me,

which is why I'm asking you to ignore

this [SPEAKING SPANISH]

and remember my father's vision for this place.

And here's the good news...

Salvation's salvation has already arrived.

Oh, no, no.

Who pray tell is this savior come to deliver y'all?

The legendary gunslinger, mi abuelo,

Diego de la Cruz!

[LAUGHS]

Him?

I've heard of you, old-timer.

If you're the savior, these people are already damned.

Look, no one here wants any further violence.

Maybe, uh, there's some other arrangement we can work out.

Only one way out, partner.

Either you convince these folks to pick up sticks

and get the hell out of dodge

or there will be blood.

I'm sorry it took me so long to remember you.

I'm sorry I couldn't say anything,

but at least now you know.

I have so many questions.

I know.

We knew that there would be some gaps in your memory.

Uh, but let's not worry about that right now.

Let's figure out what you're here to do so we can get you out of here.

Yes, whatever gets me back to you faster.

Yeah.

Okay, so it says here that you are Diego de la Cruz,

a famed Mexican-American gunslinger who hung up

his six-shooters and retired to San Francisco

after your wife died.

Your son, Marco, was the mayor of this town,

but he too died recently.

Which is why Valentina sent that letter asking for help.

- You met the granddaughter? - Oh, yeah.

Cute kid.

She just promised a whole town that I'd fight

some outlaw named McDonough.

Please tell me Diego didn't lose this fight.

Actually, he never fought.

Uh, It looks like Diego and Valentina skipped town,

- so there was no showdown. - That's a relief.

Because I, uh, kind of feel like I hate guns.

Does that line up with the Ben you knew?

Yeah. You're a pacifist.

I mean, I can't be here to win a gun fight.

To jump back in time to kill someone?

- That feels wrong. - Yeah.

Deeply, cosmically wrong.

Okay.

Records in this era were spotty at best.

I'm having a really hard time accessing our database,

probably because we're so far back in time.

Okay, I'm gonna go back and talk to the team

Okay. Hey, hurry.

Well, this whole hologram thing is also working.

Oh, sorry, I said water.

That is the water, which is why most people go for the whiskey.

Great.

Aren't you a little young to be in a place like this?

I'm 15.

Look, I'm starting to see why Salvation

might not be the best place for you.

Between the outlaws and all the boarded-up shops,

this place is looking pretty bleak.

Ever since that gold vein dried up,

so did everything else around here.

Then why stay?

There are other towns.

Not like Salvation.

This place was built by outsiders, for outsiders.

Back in normal society, a woman like me

can't even get a bank loan.

And look at me now, sole proprietor

of this here saloon.

I busted my ass for all that I have.

Ben needs this information right now. He is in 1879.

She just showed up, out of nowhere.

She's got clearance.

Congresswoman, to what do we owe the pleasure?

Since I've been sitting on your oversight committee

for the last few terms, I thought,

Plus, I heard your team has been making great strides.

Where'd you hear that from?

Our mutual friends at the Pentagon.

They mentioned that there have been

several spikes in the energy consumption of this facility.

Those are actually just some random surges.

Something came up, a personal matter.

He's currently off-site.

Until when?

Well, he wasn't exactly clear on that,

[TENSE MUSIC]

Ben!

Hey!

Perfect timing.

What have you got?

On Diego? Not much. Just his obituary from 1886.

Diego de la Cruz was found dead from liver failure

in his boardinghouse outside of San Francisco.

The West really was as bleak as the history books

made it out to be.

Sounds like he dragged Valentino off

to San Francisco, and everything went

horribly wrong after that.

Maybe... Maybe that's my mission,

to keep those two together?

Yeah, according to Ziggy,

your mission is much bigger than two people.

It's about all of Salvation.

Look, after Diego skipped out on the showdown,

McDonough drove the people out.

The railroad took over, and Salvation disappeared.

I mean, practically, it was erased from the map.

- But I had an idea. - Yeah?

McDonough is a wanted man.

There's a huge reward out for him and his gang,

maybe enough to pay off the railroad and save the town.

- What? - Nothing.

I... we're on the same page.

I was on my way to talk to the deputies.

Um, those deputies?

They're not riding out to stop McDonough, are they?

Afraid not, señor.

They're quitting.

Quitting? But why?

I mean, there's literally a man coming here to kill you, Ben.

So if any of this goes sideways...

It won't.

I already lost you once.

And the thought of losing you again,

forever this time...

just when I was starting to get you back.

There was no off-site emergency.

The power surges weren't random.

And the reason why Dr. Song is not here

is because you all have used the quantum accelerator

to perform an unauthorized leap,

which you've been covering up this whole time.

Well, if you knew this whole time, why didn't you say so?

I wasn't sure.

But after talking to everyone...

I genuinely do believe in Project Quantum Leap,

and I tried to give you a chance to come clean,

but I'm afraid it's too late for that.

Now that I know that the program has been compromised,

you leave me no choice but to pass this up the chain of command.

You can't let them shut us down,

not until we bring Ben back.

That is for the committee to decide.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

10 years ago, you and your brother

took a joy ride after a night of drinking.

There was an accident.

Your brother was killed.

Everyone believed he was behind the wheel,

but he wasn't, was he, Congresswoman?

Are you blackmailing me, Admiral?

No, that's not my style.

Then why are you bringing this up?

Quantum Leap technology works.

We can go back in time and change the past,

change it for the better.

What if Ben could jump back 10 years

and make sure you two never get into that car?

We can save your brother.

We just need time to figure out how.

But if you shut us down, I can't help you.

What'll it be?

I will definitely be there.

That's great.

Thank you for your hospitality, Magic.

Good luck with your alpha tests.

Thank you.

Please tell me she's not going to shut us down,

So you used the nuclear option?

Not exactly.

I told her we could go back and save her brother's life.

Magic, we can't do that.

I mean, the technology, it doesn't support us leaping

to a specific moment in ti...

I know that, but she doesn't.

I bought us time, bought you time.

Is it possible to kiss a hologram?

Oh!

You made a serious miscalculation coming here, Ben.

Did he just call you, Ben?

How did you know my name?

I know everything about you, Dr. Ben Song,

I know what you're doing.

But if you value your life, you need to stop following me.
