Previously on Quantum Leap...

I have to give up the happy ending.

You should do
what your heart tells you.

Whatever that is,
we'll get through it. Together.

I'm the one who's stranded and alone.

I gave a eulogy at your funeral!

I love you.
I'm secure in what we have.

And I don't know what navigating
a friendship with you is like

but will you be my hologram?

What the...

Toto, I have a feeling
we're not in Kansas anymore.

Hello! I... I would like to go back
to Cairo now.

Hello, hi, yeah.

That way. Cairo.

That...

Okay.

Guess I'm walkin'.

Hey!

- You're going to Cairo?
- Yeah.

- Twenty American.
- Twenty...

Okay. I don't suppose
you have a helmet?

No? Insurance?

- Okay.
- Yeah, probably not.

Okay.

Welcome to Cairo.

Shepherd Barnes, Station Chief.

CIA.

I know what you're thinking.

Why would
the Station Chief himself sit

in the lobby?

Long story, but you're not here
for my tears.

We recon the site?

Giza. Just got back.

Still think
your mysterious source is genuine?

Wanting to meet out there
isn't exactly discreet tradecraft.

Guess we'll find out.

When are we meeting?

1.00pm, pink pocket square.

The East Germans love running
this kinda game.

Blind source, dangling treasure.

This is your first field operation,
right?

Yes, it is.

Well, the good news is

you've never been to Cairo,
so the Stasi don't know you.

The bad news is, if this is a trap

they'll torture you
and bury you in the desert

with the rest of the pharaohs.

Relax, kid, I'm just teasing.

That doesn't happen...

often.

Make contact.

Follow your instincts
and call me after.

We'll see if you save the world.

I'm a spy.

Awesome.

You know the secret
to good shakshuka is timing.

It's all about
when you add the spices.

I'm ready.

Okay. Paprika.

- Yep.
- Thank you.

Cumin.

Cumin.

Thank you. Coriander.

- C'mon...
- The pressure!

I'm cracking.

- You know I'm cooking here?
- Yeah, you are.

- Is that the...
- The secure line.

Caraway...

Caraway, caraway.

Where art thou, cara...

They need me in DC.

Is everything okay?

If it were a real emergency,
they'd have said.

Then again, they don't call me
just for kicks, so...

- No?
- I guess I'll see.

I need to go pack.

What do you...
what do you mean, "a ring?"

Like a... like a ring-ring?

Yes! An engagement ring.

Oh my god, this is...

this is wonderful!

But you don't seem excited?

Of course I am! I...
Okay, you know what?

For the record, he hasn't
actually asked me yet, so...

I'm sorry, I know that it's a lot

especially with Ben back.

I mean, technically,
it's not like you two

even broke up.

What're you two whisperin' about?

- You.
- Magic.

Deception noted.

Anywho, we found Ben.
Wanna guess where?

Egypt.

This is amazing!

You've never leapt
out of the country before.

Oh, actually, I... I did.

It's just,
you all thought I was dead.

Still, this leap
has got to be important.

A special occasion.

Maybe it's because we've got
the band back together?

Yeah. Maybe.

Everything okay?

Yeah, sorry, it just, a busy morning.

But, hey...

I am looking at the Sphinx.

Yeah.

So, now we just have to find
Mr. Pink Pocket Square.

Yes. Well, it looks like
we're flyin' blind on this one.

All we know
from the original timeline is that

you were a CIA analyst

based out of London.

You got an anonymous cable

that brought you to Cairo

but you failed to make contact

and nothin' ever came of it.

Sounds like I just have
to make contact.

Okay, Ben,
this is the world of espionage.

It's... it's like
the opposite of you.

Everyone's a liar
lookin' for someone to trust

and they are all terrified
of betrayal

because they betray for a living.

You're really startin'
to put a damper

on my James Bond fantasy.

Good. Because this isn't a game.

And first meetings
are all or nothing.

Hey.

Follow him.

Not too close.

I don't like this.
Like, he's getting you alone.

Tradecraft 101, never be isolated.

You should say something.

No, I'm gonna follow his lead.

I bet that's what went wrong
in the original timeline.

I was new and got scared.

Maybe, but in the original timeline,
at least your leap host survived.

He's leading me somewhere to talk,
not to kill me.

My backup's watching.

If anything happens to me,
they'll know.

You don't have any backup.

Because you honored my request
not to bring any.

That is either very brave of you...

or very stupid.

Do I get to pick which?

I'm Layla Adel.

I work here at Giza, Luxor,
all across Egypt.

You're an archeologist?

Egyptologist.

But primarily, I act as a guide.

Giving private tours to elites
from all over Europe.

Taking them to sites
where no one else can go.

Letting them see things
that no one else can see.

That's the perfect cover for a spy.

And she can arrange meetings,
do drops

take people
where they can't be surveilled.

Miss Adel.

Perhaps you could show me
around Giza?

I'd love to hear more
about what you have to say.

This must be brief.
I am watched all the time.

I want to go to the West.

Obviously, I cannot leave
by normal means.

Okay, here we go, Layla Adel.

Impressive credentials,
but nothing that screams spy.

Maybe she was just a smart woman

looking for a free ride
to the States.

Once I am in America

I will give you details
on all the East German

and Soviet operations
across the Middle East.

Including names of agents,
turncoats, and regional agendas.

I mean, go on.

Hey, can you have Ziggy
cross-reference

everything we know about Layla

with everything we know
about an East German operative?

Code name "Nomad."

Your Station Chief, Barnes,
will want proof of my worth.

This afternoon, I'm meeting
with a traitor from your embassy.

I've written the details on my card.

There are several cafes in the area
where you won't stand out

so you can photograph the encounter.

All I ask, is that you wait
to arrest the traitor

until I am safely out of the country.

Of course.

- Okay, I'll bite. Who's "Nomad?"
- A spy linked to some

of East Germany's most
successful clandestine operations.

And for decades,
the US has been trying

to figure out his identity.

Most analysts think he was a myth.

When in reality "he" was a "she."

It's no accident that I cabled you,
Mr. Allison.

I've vetted you, I've studied you,
and now I've met you.

I believe you are a good man

and that I can trust you
with my life.

Can I trust you with my life?

Yes. You can.

My number is on the card.

I'll be waiting for your call.

Nomad.

Let's not get carried away, kid.

Nomad's a myth, and if he's not

he's certainly not
some part-time tour guide

who's probably slept
with half her clients.

Well, this is why Layla got away
with it.

She was smart,
and the world, totally sexist.

Personal history aside,
we can't ignore her offer of proof

and if there really is a traitor
at the embassy...

There is.

Somebody's been leaking
some top-secret cables

from that place for the past year.

It's the reason
why Cairo Station's been cut out

of the most significant operations
in the region

and I've been put on ice.

If Layla's meeting them, then...

We can't ignore that.

Which is why you're going
to get there early and bug the meet.

- I am?
- What part

of "my entire operation
is compromised"

didn't you understand?

If I tell anyone,
the traitor could find out.

Yeah, okay, but Layla's instructions

were to photograph the meet,
not to bug it!

Photos are useless to me.

And last time I checked,
I'm your boss, not her.

I don't want
some circumstantial evidence

that can be explained away.
I want the traitor on tape

so I can send his ass to jail
for the rest of his life.

You'll find a transmitter
in the wallet.

You plant that in the shop
before your girl gets there.

Use the receiver in the briefcase
to record what they say.

Range is 300 yards,
so it'd have to stay pretty close.

You get me a clean recording

and I'll have Miss Adel out of Cairo
by tomorrow night.

I know this is good news,
so why am I so nervous?

Yeah, because being a spy
isn't the fantasy people think it is.

In real life, you're on your own.

And if you make a mistake

it is either you or Layla
at the bottom of the Nile.

Is that supposed to be a pep talk?

I think you've been spending
too much time with Jenn.

Sorry. Okay...

How 'bout this?
Look, we know that Layla is Nomad.

So, you get her out of Cairo,
not only do you leap

but you also save the lives
of dozens of US assets

that will otherwise be killed
over the next three decades...

Why'd you stop? That was good!

- What can I get you?
- Just coffee.

On the house.

This is gonna sound strange,
but have we met before?

When I travel through time

I leap into other people
to change history for the better.

Oh my god.

Hannah.

I'll be back.

Thank you. That was...

I'll catch up with you after lunch.

Ben?

Is that you?

Yes. It is me.

Oh, well, thank God!

If you knew how many people
I've asked in the past six years...

I told you
our paths would cross again.

I knew it.

So, how've you been?

Good. Good.

It's only been a few days
since I saw you.

Well, for me it's been six years.

What're you doing in Cairo?

Who are you here to help?

An East German spy.

In fact, now that I think about it,
this leap is pretty dangerous.

More dangerous than
when we were up against the Nazis?

It's the same as before.
Hannah's not another leaper.

Okay, well,
three times is not a coincidence.

I got her whole history
since Princeton.

She got her PhD,
works at a lab outside of New York

and consults with the US government.

She's in Cairo for the convention.

Okay, and we're sure
this leap isn't about Hannah?

No, no, it's definitely about Layla.

Well, then why does the Accelerator
keep having them meet?

It's gotta be a two-person leap.

It's the only thing that makes sense.

What?

Nothing.

I've just waited a long time
to see you.

"See me." That's a funny concept.

Well, I've missed you.
What if I say it like that?

I missed you, too.

Not knowing whether
or not I would see you again was...

It was hard. I know.

- What?
- I don't know.

I've been traveling through time
for so long.

Not having any real human contact
and no life of my own, it...

I don't really know
how I'm supposed to feel.

How do you feel?

Alive.

Me too.

So alive that I'm forgetting I have
a job to do in like 30 minutes.

Let me help you.
We could be partners.

I don't wanna waste
a single moment we have together.

Hannah.

I appreciate that,
but I don't think you could help me.

Actually, I think she can.

Is that your hologram?

Hi, I'm Hannah Carson.

You know the polite thing to do
would be to introduce us.

Hannah, meet Addison Augustine.

She's my...

My only link to where I'm from.

Hi.

Okay, look, here's the deal.

Even with me being your eyes and ears

you are not a trained operative.

Yeah, but I'm only planting a bug,
so...

You say that like it's not dangerous.

- What if you get caught?
- Yeah, she's not wrong.

Look, a guy in a suit,
looks like a spy.

But that same guy with a woman,
looks like he's on his honeymoon.

What did she say?

That alone I look suspicious

but if I'm with a beautiful woman,
it'll look like I'm on holiday.

Did I say "beautiful?"

Beautiful? She said that?

Okay! Let's do this.

Yeah.

Well. That wasn't so bad.

Yeah, all these crammed little shops

have plenty of places to hide a bug.

Now all we have to do is sit here
and enjoy our coffees.

Sounds lovely.

Darling, are you having as good
a time on our honeymoon as I am?

Why, of course. And I'm...
I'm so glad we picked Cairo.

Oh, me too.
I wonder where we'll end up next.

Or when.

Okay, hey, here comes Layla.

Just remember,
don't make eye contact.

You don't even know her.

Wherever, whenever.

I'm sure it'll be another adventure
of a lifetime.

Ben.

That's what you are, you know.

The adventure of my lifetime.

Ben, you bugged the wrong shop.

- What?
- What's wrong?

The traitor must've changed locations
on Layla.

It's common tradecraft

and probably why she wanted you
to take photos!

Well, photos won't save her!

I bugged the wrong shop.

I have to move the transmitter
before the meeting starts.

- Too late.
- Too late.

Without a recording,
Barnes will never help Layla

- get outta Cairo.
- Okay.

Look, there is a back entrance,
so you can get in

but you might be seen.

Okay, you get the bug, then be ready.

- For what?
- For what?

The show.

So, the Stasi only care about Nasser

in terms of expansion.

What are your orders on Nasser?

We have to be very careful.

Did you hear that?

Hey! Don't think
I don't know what you did.

Y'all cheated me!

This shop is closed.

Oh, don't you
"this shop is closed" me!

I'm not the idiot American
you take me for!

Go...

All I wanted was to buy a present
for my husband.

And you all sold me a fake!

If you don't get her out of here,
I am walking.

Miss. Calm down, okay?

I happen to work for the embassy
and we are going to figure this out.

We are?

I want you
to come in first thing tomorrow.

You'll make a report,
and I'll see to it personally.

Oh, thank you!

Thank you so much!

Go...

Please.

- Perhaps we should stop.
- No.

I have more to tell you.

The secrets that I think
the Stasi will pay handsomely for.

Very well. Proceed then.

I can't believe Palmer's the traitor.

That son of a...

Okay, kid, you scored.

Can somebody get me exfil plan Alpha?

We'll have Layla out
by this time tomorrow.

Great. And no grabbing Palmer
before then.

It could blow Layla's cover.

Do I look like a rookie to you?

That was so exciting!

The word I would use is terrifying.

I can't believe we did it.

We make a great team.

All three of us.

I guess Jenn was right.

- Layla.
- Call it off.

Whatever you have planned,
call it off.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

I told you to photograph the meeting.

I counted on your discretion.

Instead, you walk in,
in the middle of the meeting

to plant a listening device?

Admittedly, that wasn't the smoothest
of operations, but...

Is this a joke to you? A trifle?

You get to come out
from behind your desk

and play secret agent.

You know nothing
of risking your life.

- Layla...
- My father worked for King Farouk.

For a monarch who was cruel
and unjust to women.

So, I stole secrets from him

so that I could help free
this country.

That noble purpose was twisted

by a man who I thought was honorable.

I was a fool
to think I might find honor

on the other side.

You can trust him

more than anyone in the world.

I know because he risked his life
for me...

when he didn't have to.

He saved me and so many others

because he cares
about doing what's right.

So, yes,
there may be more seasoned agents

but there isn't a better man
on this Earth.

Very well. Give me the instructions.

Addison?

I know why the Accelerator
keeps putting them together.

They're in love.

So.

So.

Worried who's watching?

No. They turn the imager off

once they know I'm safe
and things are calm.

Well, that sounds promising.

Hannah...

Ben, it's been six years
since I've seen you.

At this rate, I'll be lucky
if I get to spend one week with you

over the course of my life.

One magical week.

Tomorrow, after I get Layla out,
I'll leap.

And after that

I don't know when

or where I'll see you again,
if at all.

You know, most people
live their lives without urgency.

They think this lasts forever.

But we know better.

We know what a miracle any time is.

Tell me you don't want this.

Tell me what I've said that's wrong.

I can't.

Ben, I know you had a life before,
but now you're a nomad.

And for a nomad,
the only home is people.

It can't be an accident,
fate throwing us together like this.

There has to be a reason.

Maybe I'm your home.

I can't, for all those reasons.

I can't.

And that just makes me love you more.

You really think
some force is bringing them together?

I don't know.

I mean, do I think that
because I think that

or do I think that
because if that's true

I'm off the hook for loving Tom?

Addison, the one who put you
on that hook is you.

I know! I know.

Even Ben understands.

I mean, he may be hurting,
but he understands.

I want him to be happy.

I do.

I wanna be happy. I...

I am happy. I just miss Ben.

And I don't... I don't know
how I'm supposed to feel...

about this.

When I got together with Beth

I had all kinds of mixed feelings.

I coulda come up
with ten reasons not to do it

but the thing is, we have
to live the life in front of us.

Be true to your present, Addison

not some future you're wishing for
that may never happen.

Because waiting isn't living.

Hey. Sorry to interrupt,
but it's time for Layla's exfil.

The car's only gonna stop
for 60 seconds.

Layla's a pro. She'll be here.

Plus, I just walked the street.

You're good. We're good.

Waiting...

I hate waiting.

Ben, with everything that's happened

I know things have gotten
uncomfortable and...

complicated.

I want you to know
I... I do love you.

And I want you to be happy.

Even if that is a little awkward.

I love you, too.

And I wanna protect
all the good things we have.

I like Tom.

Damnit, Addison, where is she?

There.

She's cutting it close.

Yeah, well, like I said, she's a pro.

She's gonna use every second she has.

She's gonna make it.

What's she doing?

She was blown.

Ben, that's an East German spy.

Layla's cover was blown,
which means yours was too.

You have to go! Now!

Hey! Hey.

I don't understand. What happened?

Barnes.

- I'll call you back.
- You arrested Palmer, didn't you?

- Sit down.
- You arrested him knowing

- it would blow Layla's cover.
- I didn't have any choice!

What if he had run?
What if he was tipped off?

He was a huge security risk.

A massive leak, now plugged!

I was hoping it wouldn't
blow back on her, but it did!

Those are the breaks.
All right? Trust me.

In time, you'll look back at this
and see it for the big win it is.

Hell with that. I'm finding her.

- You can't.
- Watch me.

She's dead!

The Stasi picked her up
three blocks from the scene.

No. That's impossible.

He's right.

Ziggy says the Stasi killed her.

She was a good asset. Helped us big.

I hate losing her.

I am sorry, kid.

You're not sorry.

You're a coward!

You sit there, risking nothing

while people like Layla are out there
risking everything.

How did you become so cynical

that losing a hero like her
stopped feeling like a tragedy?

Don't go back to the hotel, kid.
The Stasi could be looking for you.

I know you're mad, but...

Ben? Are you okay?

I... I thought you'd gone.

She's dead.

Layla's dead.

I failed.

Ben.

- I failed.
- I'm so sorry.

I failed.

I don't know what happens now.

I know I don't leap,
but I just don't know what happens.

Well, you are
in an interesting position.

You could invest in things

make yourself a fortune.

Or you could intervene
in world events.

Go on the TV,
be the next Nostradamus.

Maybe this is why
we kept crossing paths.

So that when I ended up stranded
in time, I wasn't alone.

So, what you're saying is

I am the universe's gift
for a job well done.

As far as compliments go,
that's not half bad.

You can still help people, Ben.

You don't need to travel through time
to make lives better.

- What?
- Well, just saying that

made me think.

Here you were,
on this great cosmic mission

and maybe, somehow,
I've messed that all up.

Stop. First of all, you did nothing.

And second, I never saw this
as something great.

I wish I had.

I always felt like
it was some kinda trial.

Or a curse.

Maybe that's what I did wrong.

We're not giving up, I know that.

We're not making the same mistake
we did the last time.

This isn't the same situation, Magic.

I mean, it's not like we lost Ben,
we know right where he is.

He's just stranded.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean
we shut down the program

or stop trying
to get him back, right?

What did Tom say?

Just that he's gonna hop
the first flight from DC

and not to tell anyone yet.

For now, nothing changes.

We re-double our effort

to figure out a way
to bring him home.

Maybe we should be happy for him.

Look, Hannah's there.

Maybe this is how it ended for Sam.

Maybe 1961 is Ben's new home.

What's that?

Ziggy.

What?

Hello?

It's for you.

Yes?

Look, I almost didn't call.

In fact, I'm not sure
I'm doing you any favors.

But I think I got bad intel before.

My guys on the street say

the Stasi are searching
the entire Islamic Quarter

going block by block.

You only do that
when you're looking for someone.

I think your girl escaped.

She's trapped somewhere now
and they're looking for her.

Layla's alive.

I knew it.

I knew this wasn't your destiny.

Oh, hey.

Hey. Addison, how did this happen?
You said she was dead.

Yeah, we think your speech to Barnes
changed the timeline again.

Originally,
he didn't call you to tell you

that Layla might still be alive.
He just let her die.

Ziggy says that she still dies
if we do nothing

but now we have a chance to save her.

First, we need to find her.

We know she's an expert guide,
so she has access to everything.

We also know where they're searching

so we'll look
for what she's looking for.

Basically, the best place to lay low.

The Qalawun mosque.

The Qalawun mosque.

Right here. By the market.

So many streets around it.
It looks like a maze.

And Jenn says there's all sorts
of rooms and chambers in there

that the public
doesn't have access to.

That's a good place to hide.

But with the East Germans all around

how're we gonna get her out of there?

Yeah, that was gonna be
my next question.

Barnes, you ready
to go back in the field?

Good. 'Cause to pull this off,
it's gonna take all of us.

Nice welcoming committee.

Are you sure you can find Layla?

No, but I'm hoping she'll find me.

Wait! Shoes...

Let's go.

- Finally.
- Oh, no.

I taught you that!

Yeah, ya did! Yeah.

This place is like a maze.

You could hide like ten Laylas
in here.

I only needed to hide one.

Layla, I'm sorry.

I saw your face.
You were as betrayed as I was.

Yet now I'm asking you
to trust me again.

I have friends. I am safe here.

You are not. And I don't know
how to get you to believe me

but if you don't come with me,
you will die.

Why contact me in the first place?
Why start all this?

I had a vision of my future.

I saw all the damage that I had done.

I wanted to change my destiny
by taking it into my own hands.

We can do that. Together.

I assume you have a plan.

You're clear. Wait!

He's coming.

Layla, run!

I'm afraid Miss Adel
must come with us.

Miss Adel?

Who on God's green earth
is Miss Adel?

Honey, do you know who that is?

Search me.

Sugar, are these men gonna rob us?

I don't think we have anything
of value to them.

My car!

My car.

Shepherd Barnes.

Layla Adel.
But you know me better as "Nomad."

Looks like Layla Adel
was instrumental

in dismantling the Soviet spy network
in the Middle East.

Not bad for a few days' work.

Not bad at all.

Addison give you some good news?

Thank you, Addison.
For all your help.

She's welcome.

So...

Is the cosmic train leaving?

I'm gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you too.

But I'm glad you get
to keep doing what you do.

You have a purpose, Ben Song.

This girl once told me

"Don't say goodbye,
say, 'See ya later.'"

She sounds very wise.

She's spectacular.

Promise me you'll find me next time.

I don't wanna keep going up
to strangers.

I promise.

I've spent more than
two dozen leaps looking backwards.

From now on, I go forward.

I love you.

What...

Hey. Welcome home.

Hey.

Come here.

- What?
- I'm sorry, I...

After the last few days,
this is really nice to come home to.

Glad to hear you say that.

'Cause these past few days

I've been giving a lot of thought
to our future.

I think there's nothing
we can't handle.

Nothing we can't get through
together.

I agree.

Good.

I was called to DC

because they found something
on a fragment of a hard drive

in a discontinued DARPA project.

What... what is this?

A way to bring Ben home.
