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...

He remembered you.

He did.

I didn't prompt him.

We knew it would happen eventually.

Magic, I know you're worried
about Ben's motivations,

about why he left,

about why he didn't say anything.

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

because our only safeguard was

that if he didn't remember anything,

then he couldn't remember his agenda.

That's true.

But his memory is coming back.

And I think it's a mistake
not to use that at this...

I agree.

You don't have to sell me.

Things have changed since then.

Janice is in our system.

She's stolen government hardware.

This is a fluid, active situation

we just don't understand yet.

Ben trusts you, now even more so
since he remembers you.

At this point, any insight
he has into what is happening

is information we sorely need.

That's a long way of saying,

you don't have to hold back anymore.

Thank you, Magic.

Thank you.

I know how hard it's been.

Yeah. [PHONE BEEPS]

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.

especially not at this specific moment.

- _

I know just what you need.

What I need is...

Howdy, stranger.

You're looking for me?

- Addison!
- [LAUGHS]

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

and see what info they
can rustle up, okay?

Okay. Hey, hurry.

Um...

the whole cowboy thing works.

You think?

Well, this whole hologram
thing is also working.

- Okay.
- Okay.

[CHATTER]

I'm Frankie.

It's a pleasure to finally
make your acquaintance, señor.

I was real close to your son.

His passing was a...

Was a loss for us all.

I've been looking after
Valentina like she was my own,

not that she much needs it.

Most certainly do not.

Thank you.

What's mine is yours.

What can I tempt you with?

It's on the house.

Oh, that's very...

Thank you.

Thank you, but I'm recently engaged.

Whiskey it is, then.

Just water, please.

Here you are.

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.

I'm not just gonna walk away from it.

See?

It's not just me.

And there's only one way to protect it.

Well, uh, okay, it's

couldn't get you everything
that there was to know

about one of the most
overly romanticized

and completely misrepresented
periods of American history.

But in order for me to narrow
down my search parameters,

if you just gave me
like a specific detail.

- Sure.
- Hey, later.

We got to pretend like we're
not in the middle of a leap,

like, right now.

Yeah, we can't do that.

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

Which is an unauthorized
activity that we've

been keeping secret,
something that maybe

our friends in Congress who fund us

probably shouldn't hear about.

Why... why would they?

And why are you talking like this?

That's why.

Okay, so who's trouble in a power suit?

Congresswoman Kavita Adani.

She's the member of the
project's oversight committee

and a rising star in DC.

Jenn, why did you not
tell us that she was coming?

Because I just found
out two minutes ago.

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,

why not come check it out for myself?

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.

You know who would
really put my mind at ease?

Dr. Song.

I'd love to get
his expert scientific opinion

on the status of things.

You want to see Ben, now?

- He's here, isn't he?
- Not at the moment.

Something came up, a personal matter.

He's currently off-site.

Until when?

Well, he wasn't exactly clear on that,

but, uh, I'll have him reach out to you

as soon as he gets back.

Now, if there's nothing else...

Actually, while I'm here
getting the lay of the land,

I'd love to have a chat with your team.

Perhaps you could arrange
a sit-down with them,

each of them, separately, now.

[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?

Because I made 'em a better offer.

They're not coming back,
so what's your price?

I won't take your money.

And I can't let you hurt these people.

that he has committed, and this is just

I believe there are non-violent

there's just no getting around it.

Sometimes, you have
to meet force with force.

Okay, but even if...

Have I ever fired a gun?

No.

So how am I supposed to duel

I give you something you want.

Okay, I'll bite.

Tell me about our first date.

We'd been friends for
a few years, work friends.

We'd always been seeing other people.

I mean, nothing serious,
but, I don't know,

it just never lined up.

And then one day,
we were both kind of single,

and, uh, you asked me
out for Chinese food.

I don't know, something
was suddenly different,

the way you looked at me.

We shut that place down
and then went back to yours,

and I never left.

We've been kind of inseparable
ever since.

Do you remember any of that?

I, uh, I'm sorry.

I don't.

Yeah.

No, no.

their true selves, Salvation.

a former cyber-criminal goes

from hacking Bitcoin accounts
on the dark web

to being chief of security
of a top secret,

pertaining to this project

everything from day-to-day operations

to breaches in protocol,
which, as chief of security,

you are duty-bound to report
per the terms of your release.

a system full of malware and junk code

That was a lot to follow.

Almost feels like you're trying

I'm sorry, that's...

That's just how I talk.

Funny thing about
those power surges, though...

The amount of terawatts they're pulling

is almost identical
to Dr. Song's calculations

of the exact amount of energy
required for a person to leap.

Strange coincidence, don't you think?

Yeah, I thought so too.

Thank you, Dr. Wright.

This has been very helpful.

So I just ran into Ian, who just
finished with Congresswoman Adani.

- How'd it go?
- Not great.

She may not have figured
out that Ben leaped,

but she's definitely starting
to put the pieces together.

But I think I have something

- we can use in our defense.
- What is it?

Information I'm sure
she doesn't want you

or anyone else to see.

- Where did you get this?
- Does it matter?

I verified it.

If this got out,
it could destroy her career.

It's why I'm giving it to you,

in case you find yourself
in need of a nuclear option.

I'm hoping it won't come to that.

But if it does, how far are you
willing to go to save Quantum Leap?

There was no off-site emergency.

used the quantum accelerator
