All language subtitles for Quantum.Leap S02E13 Against Time

- Whoa!

- Don't slow down, son!

Speed up!

- Hello?

Is this is a race?

Where are the other cars?

- It's qualifying, son.

And if you don't speed up,
you're gonna get disqualified.

Now, come on.
- Okay.

Let's try not to die.

* *

Okay.

How'd I do?

- You a comedian
or are you a race car driver?

- You barely placed, Ricky.

You're gonna be starting
dead last tomorrow.

- Tomorrow? Remind me.
What's happening tomorrow?

- Boy, you better
get serious now.

We're out here racing
against the toughest sumbitches

on Earth, and you
are starting in the back.

Now, how is that
gonna help us win?

- You're Rick Jarrett Sr.

He's a legend.

- Dad, I think
Junior's lost it.

- We're a two-car team, son.

We can't hold 'em off
if you're starting

in the back of the lineup!

- Daddy, are you all right?
- Yeah.

I gotta prep my car.

Get it together!

- Oh, he does not
look all right.

- When's the last time
he got a checkup?

- Oh, you know
how it is with Daddy.

You can't change his mind
about anything.

No breaks and no doctors.

- Dad?
- Yeah.

- You all right?
- Yeah.

Yeah, I'm good.

- I'm gonna call 911.

- Hey.

Just, um--just stay
with me for a minute.

Just let me catch my breath.

- I don't think
you should race today.

I'm worried about your heart.

- Son, I need to place today
or I can't compete tomorrow.

We gotta win that cup.

- Your life is more important
than a race, Dad.

You've gotta let this go.

- Please,
don't start that again.

We cannot pull out
of this race,

or what do you think's
gonna happen?

We are gonna lose our sponsor.

We're gonna bankrupt this team.

And then all--all these people
are gonna lose their jobs.

Now, you tell me,
is that what you want?

It's okay, it's okay.

- Ooh.
- Just breathe.

- Ooh.

Son, I'm sorry I'm hard on you.

And I know I'll never be
father of the year,

but I've dreamed about
sharing this with you

since you were little.

Now, tomorrow, you and I,
we're gonna go out there,

and we're gonna
set things right together.

All this sacrifice,
it's gonna be worth it.

* *

We are almost there, all right?

Now, look at that.

I feel better already.

- Dad.

- I gotta go get ready.
I'm up next.

- You're really not very good
at this, are you?

- Sorry, do I know you?

- It makes sense.

You weren't supposed
to be the leaper.

You're not really trained
for this job, are you?

Watch--

You're in the imaging chamber.

- And you're underqualified.

- Where's Addison?

- Relieved of duty,
like the rest of your team.

- You're the billionaire.

- I'm a lot more
than that, Ben.

- All right,
then who the hell are you?

- Well, when the world sees me,
they see Gideon Rydge--

brilliant success,
came out of nowhere.

But the funny thing is,
that is an illusion,

a mask I use to manipulate
everyone around me.

And I learned that trick
from you, Ben.

Come on.
I was told you're a genius.

I really have to
spell this out?

Maybe, uh--maybe this will
jog that memory of yours?

* *

- Oh, my God.

Jeffrey?

- In the flesh.

So to speak.

* *

- So this is what it's like
to jump into the past, huh?

I'm even more jealous
than I was before.

- This is insane.

I was with you and Hannah
yesterday in Baltimore.

You were just a kid.

- It's just another leap
for you, huh?

For me, it's been
over 50 years.

But finally,
I meet the real Ben Song,

the man who destroyed my life.

- Jeffrey, I saved your life.

- What?

From the fire?

We were only in that building
because of you.

You interfered.

- What are you
talking about right now?

- Hannah didn't tell you?

Oh, see, um...

You killed my father

with this piece of paper.

- No.

No, Josh died
in a car accident.

I wasn't even there.

- Actions have
consequences, Ben.

There's a butterfly effect
that you can't see.

The day you met my mother,
you started a chain reaction.

You gave her a secret.

- Mom, can I watch TV?

Um.

Sweetie, I thought you were
with your dad and Uncle Kevin.

- A secret I couldn't
understand back then.

Until one night, it exploded.

- Do you wanna explain this?

Who the hell is Ben?

How does he know about
my heart condition?

- Where did you get that? I--
- Answer the question, Hannah.

- I can't explain it, Josh.

You wouldn't believe me
if I tried.

- Either you're gonna
start telling me the truth,

or I'll walk out right now.

Who is this guy?

- He's a time traveler.

I know that sounds impossible,
but it's true.

He knew your future.

He knew what was gonna happen
to you.

- Don't--don't say
another word.

"All of my love, Ben."

- It's not--

I'm sorry.
I'm--Josh, please.

Josh. Josh, don't--

Please.

- My father drove off
in a rage

into a storm, and he crashed.

He died because of you.

- Jeffrey, I was trying
to save your dad.

I never meant to hurt anyone.

- That's the worst part,

that you actually think
that you're helping.

- I didn't believe
you were real, until--

till I found the letter
in the fire

and--and I looked up,

and I saw that look
in my mother's eye,

and I could see
that it was all true.

A faceless time traveler

interfering in the past.

And then, in an instant,
you were gone.

So I channeled all of
my rage into technology.

I changed my identity.

I used your stock tips
to build a tech empire,

all so I could track you down
and set things right.

- You're gonna use
Hannah's code.

- Her swap code.

See, to retrieve you
from the past,

it has to replace you
with someone

from the present--
someone like me.

You don't deserve this power.

So I am going to
take it from you.

- Jeffrey, listen,
if you wanna save your dad,

I can help you.

- I don't need your help.

I've been planning
for this my entire life.

See, with every leap,
I'm gonna take a little detour.

I'm gonna change
one small thing here,

then another, and another--

from politics, to world wars,
to Wall Street.

I can change the timeline
to whatever I want.

- That's not for you to decide.

Quantum Leap isn't about power.

We're supposed to help people.

- If that is your mission,
you failed.

You better
wrap things up here, Ben.

You don't have much time.

- Jeffrey. Jeffrey, wait!

* *

- Alicia, where are we
with the code?

- Running diagnostics now.

I wanna make sure
it's safe before you

step into that accelerator.

- Then whatever you're doing,
do it faster.

- Once you take his place,

what do you want us to do
with Ben?

* *

- Find me a Blacksite.

I want Ben Song to spend
the rest of his life

where no one can find him.

Oh, and hang a picture
of Addison in his cell,

a little reminder of the person
he can never get back.

- You know, you almost got
yourself killed back there.

- Maybe I should have
taken Gideon with me.

Because unless I'm
missing something,

this is the absolute
worst-case scenario.

- Yeah, a vindictive
billionaire

with a time machine--

I'd say we're headed
for the darkest timeline.

- I used to feel so powerless
as a hologram.

But this? This is worse.

* *

- Janis?
- What are you doing here?

I thought you were in Hawaii.

- I was, until I got a call
to come back

and save your asses--again.

- Wait--wait a minute.
Back up.

Who called you?

- I did.

Get in.

It's time to save Quantum Leap.

- Welcome to the circus.

You're all about
to engage in treason

against the U.S. government.

- First time?

- I pulled some things
together out of storage

to get us started.

I figured Janis's
imaging chamber

might come in handy one day.

- I worked out the kinks
from last time.

But as soon as we contact Ben
in the past, Gideon will know.

- Ian, care to take the wheel?

- Ooh. Ooh, yeah.

Yeah, no. I love this chair.

Okay, um, so I take it that
we have remote access

to the project from here?
- Only to Ziggy.

The rest of the security
systems are locked down tight.

- Which means we can't initiate
a cyberattack from here.

- Sorry to interrupt.

Is anybody hungry?

I brought sandwiches,
iced coffees.

- I--I could eat.

- Beth, you didn't
have to come.

- Also, full disclosure,

we're about to commit
some treason.

- You know, for all the grief

that this project has caused
your family,

I'm a little surprised that
you keep coming to the rescue.

- Not that we don't
appreciate it,

but why do you keep helping us?

- You really don't know?

In the original history, my
father went missing in action

and was presumed dead
in Vietnam.

My mom never waited for him.

And then one leap from
Sam Beckett changed everything.

Beth waited for Al.

They got married
and had four girls,

me and my sisters.

- Janis, we had no idea.

- There's no record
of any of this.

- History changed.

But my mom always
knew the truth.

Without this project,
our family wouldn't exist.

- This was Al's life's work.

If Quantum Leap
is in the wrong hands,

we need to get it back,
all of us.

- Hey, guys,
I got a lock on Ben.

He's in Sonoma, California,
in 1976.

- Addison, you're up.

- Here.

If you're going in,
you're gonna need this.

And be careful with that.

It's a family heirloom.

- Janis, thank you.

* *

- Operator.
- Hi, hello.

I'd like to make a collect call
to Hannah Carson.

Sorry, Nally, Hannah Nally.

I think she lives somewhere
here in California.

- Who's calling?
- Ben Song.

- Hello?

- Jeffrey?

- Collect call from Ben Song.

Do you accept the charges?

- Jeffrey?

Please, just--

Hello?

Okay.

I don't know
if anybody can hear me,

but if you're listening,
I could really

use some help right now.

- Sorry I'm late.

I was a little busy
getting fired.

- Addison, you're here.
How'd you get back in?

- Uh, that is a long story.

Yeah.

Look, Ben, we are
in serious trouble.

That billionaire,
his name's Gideon Rydge.

- That's actually
not his real name.

Gideon is Jeffrey Nally,
Hannah's son.

* *

- You're a time travel project.

How did you not
see this coming?

- Because he changed
his identity.

Jeffrey erased all connections
that he had with Hannah

so that we wouldn't
be able to anticipate

whatever he was planning next.

Now, I know I keep saying this,

but the worst-case scenario
keeps getting worse.

- How is this worse?

- Because it's personal.

We're talking about
an obsessed and angry kid

who's waited 50 years
to step into a time machine

and play God.

- How long before Jeffrey
can activate Hannah's code?

- Theoretically,
he can use it now.

And once he plugs the code in
and enters the accelerator,

then he'll interrupt the leap
and swap places with Ben.

- Then we have to stop him.

Can we seal off
the accelerator?

- No, not from here.

I gotta get back into HQ.

Hey.

Can I borrow this?

- Jenn.
- Don't worry, Magic.

I got this.

Hey, are you still in town?

I'm gonna need a big favor.

- Okay, Jenn's gonna try
and get back into HQ,

but if Jeffrey activates
that code, it's over.

- Wait a minute.

Jeffrey and Hannah
live in California.

Can you find their address?

- Ha!

Ben, they live
20 minutes across town.

If you can get to Jeffrey--

- I can stop him here
in the past.

What about the leap?

- Rick Sr. has a fatal
heart attack in his car

42 minutes from now.

Ben, I know that
you want to save everyone,

but if we don't stop Jeffrey,
we lose everything.

- I have time.

I can do both.

Casey, I'll be right back.

Whatever you do,
don't let Dad get in that car.

* *

- Punch it.

* *

- Hey!

* *

Where the hell is my son going?

- * I'm gonna race it
to the ground *

* Nobody gonna beat my car *

* It's gonna
break the speed of sound *

- Watch out for that Pinto!

- Oh!

Ah!

- So what exactly
is the plan here?

- You mean is Ben gonna
have to strangle baby Hitler?

Hopefully not.

Hold on, hold on.

Yes, okay. I found something.

Look at this.

So 24 hours from now,
Jeffrey Nally

demos a custom-built computer
for investors,

and he sells the design,
and it's what

kickstarts his entire career.

- So if we destroy
his machine...

- We change his future.

- Now, Ziggy says that
he's still going to get rich.

But if Ben sabotages him
in 1976,

then we shatter his confidence
and set him back years.

- He is still
building that computer

in his garage right now.

It says if you destroy it,
there is a 93% chance

that you'll prevent Jeffrey
from ever

taking over Quantum Leap.

- Let's go change history.

* *

- They have their own
imaging chamber.

Find out where their signal
is coming from.

Have your strike team ready
to go at a moment's notice.

- Yes, sir.
- Enough beta testing.

I need to leap now!

- Uh, we have a problem.

- I don't like those.

- Jeffrey built you
the quantum chip

that located Ben, correct?
- Mm-hmm.

- So what happens if you
sabotage him in 1976?

- Uh...

a--a paradox.

- Exactly.

Jeffrey's past
is linked with our own,

so if the past changes,
we could all change with it.

- No, no, no.

We've been through this,
remember?

The quantum bubble protects us
here in the present.

- These are not normal
circumstances, Magic.

Ben is going off-leap.

And this time,
we don't have a cheat code

from the future to protect us.

- I don't understand any
of this, but it sounds bad.

- Ziggy says that
if Ben succeeds,

there is a 50% chance
that the butterfly effect

will impact everyone
standing in this room.

- We could all be erased
at any moment.

- Magic, what do you think
we should do?

- We take the risk together.

Look, Ben's leap has
put him exactly

where he needs to be
to get to Jeffrey.

Now, that can't be
a coincidence.

Now, we may never know
who or what

is guiding him through time,

but I believe there's
something larger

at work in the universe,
a greater good.

And today, I believe
it's asking us to sacrifice.

The question is,
how far are we prepared to go?

- Gideon, please reconsider.

Without proper diagnostics,
activating the code

is too big of a risk.

- That code was my mother's
life's work.

I trust her intellect more than
anyone in this building.

Take me to the accelerator.

* *

Why did we stop?

- Gideon, can you hear me?

- Alicia, what's happening?

- Someone's hacking into
our security protocols.

- That elevator won't
hold Gideon for long.

I'm gonna lock down
the accelerator

and buy Ben some time.

- Do it fast
and get out of there.

- This building has
state-of-the-art encryption.

If there is a cyberattack,
it's coming from the inside.

Um, who was the last person
to enter the building?

- Tom Westfall's access badge
swiped in six minutes ago.

- Okay, listen to me.

Those badges have RFID tags.

Track the signal, find him,

and get me out
of this goddamn elevator.

- I've got movement.

He should be right here.

* *

It's just his badge.

There's nobody here.

- It's a diversion.

Um, get your team
to the accelerator now!

- How are we coming
on that lockdown?

- We're almost there.

Just a couple more minutes.

Damn, these guys are good.

- Ah.

Okay, Ben, don't panic,
but you're running out of fuel.

Do you have any money for gas?

No, no cash.

We can still make it--

we have to.

- Come on, come on.

Just get me to 100.

- Step away
from the access panel.

* *

- It's over, Jenn.

Put the tablet on the floor,
kick it to me,

or we will shoot.

- I can't do that.
- I'm not bluffing.

You have till the count
of three.

One.

- Jenn, stand down.

- Can't do that, Magic.

If I hand over this tablet,
the accelerator won't lock.

- Jenn, do you copy?

- Magic...

I just wanna thank you
for believing in me.

I really needed that.

- Two.

- You're my family,
and I love you.

But this is bigger than me.

- I'm not losing you.
Stand down!

- Jenn, please, just do--
do what he says.

- Ian, will you
just do me a favor?

Tell Ben and Addison that I--

- Jenn?

Talk to me.

* *

- Jenn!
Jenn, talk--talk--

talk to me!

* *

- What?

- What? What is it?
What happened?

What happened?

- Jenn's gone.

She's gone.

* *

* *

- Ben Song did this.

He is responsible.

* *

I need this lockdown
deactivated,

and I need that door open.

And nobody leaves this building
until I reach the accelerator!

- Ben.
- I don't wanna talk.

- We might not get
another chance.

Look, if--if we
don't make it, I--

* *

I'm sorry
I didn't wait for you.

- You don't owe me
an apology, Addison.

I made a promise
I'd find my way back to you...

And I couldn't keep it.

I'm sorry I didn't
make it home.

* *

But this is gonna work.

* *

* *

- Ben, right here.

* *

There it is.

Let's destroy it
and get out of here.

What are you waiting for?

- He named it after his father.

This doesn't feel right.

- Ben, this man
hijacked Quantum Leap.

He murdered Jenn.

- The future isn't written yet.
We can save her.

We can save everyone,
including him.

- What?

- Who the hell are you?

- I'm not gonna
hurt you, Jeffrey.

It's me.

It's Ben.

- Mom's not here.

- I came here to see you.

I owe you an apology.

I tried to save your dad,

but I failed, and I'm sorry.

- You think an apology
changes anything?

- Jeffrey, I'm not saying--

- You are the reason
that he is dead right now!

- I tried changing his future,
but some things

just can't be undone, Jeffrey.

- You have a time machine.

A time machine.

And you couldn't
save the one person--

the person
that I needed the most.

- I know you're angry.

And I know how loss
changes you.

It changed me too.

I lost my mom when I was 15,

and I don't even
remember my dad.

I promised I'd spend the rest
of my life with someone,

and I lost her too.

Jeffrey, I lost everything.

Time isn't fair.

It's a thief.

It takes everything from us.

But I have the power to give
other people what I never had,

a second chance.

And, Jeffrey,
you have that power too.

You can help those
who are hurting,

or you can give in
to rage and hatred

and make the world even worse.

But that's not what
your dad wanted for you.

- Ben, we're out of time.

- Okay, listen to me.

Right now,
there is another family

who's about to lose
their father.

But we can--but we can stop it.

We can spare them that loss
if we work together.

- You want me to help you?

- I want you to help them,
because you know what it's like

to have your family
ripped apart.

Now, if we take your mom's car,

we can still make it there
in time.

After that,
the future's up to you.

- How does he die?

- Heart attack.

- Okay. I'll get the keys.

- Ziggy says even if
we make it back there,

there's still an 88% chance

Rick Sr. doesn't respond
to CPR.

- Tell Ziggy I have a plan.

* *

- Oh, this is
gonna be close.

- Jeffrey, I need you
to build me a capacitor.

It's okay.
I'll walk you through it.

- He's failed.

- How can you be so sure?

- Because we're still here.

There's no butterfly effect.

Nothing's changed.

- Sir, the door is open,

and the accelerator
is back online.

- Time to meet my destiny.

Oh, one more thing.

Um, when Ben Song steps out
of the accelerator, shoot him.

* *

* *

- Am I doing this right?

- Yeah, you're doing great.
It's almost ready.

- Ben, Ziggy says Rick's having
his heart attack right now.

* *

Ah!

* *

- Hands up!

- Step forward,
and keep your hands up!

Tell Gideon we found them.

* *

- No, no.

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

Daddy, please.

Daddy, please wake up.

Please, somebody do something!

* *

- Jeffrey, grab the cables.

I need you
to attach the capacitor

to increase the voltage.

- Rick--Ricky,
he's not breathing.

Wait, what--what are you doing?

- Resetting his heart.

I need something metal.

* *

Is it connected?

- Yeah.
- All right, now stand back.

- Dad, you're okay.

You're gonna be all right.

You're gonna be okay.

- Daddy. Oh, my God.

Thank God.
I thought we lost you.

- You just saved a life
and a family.

Feels good, right?

- It does.

- Look, I know
you feel powerless sometimes.

But every time
you help someone,

you make the world better,
Jeffrey.

You could change so many lives
starting right now.

* *

- Ben.

You did it.

* *

Jenn.

You're alive.

Oh, my God.

- Uh, yeah, last I checked.

You okay?

I can't believe this worked.

What about Jeffrey?

Jeffrey Nally,
is he still after us?

- Why would he be after us?

He's a major donor
to the program.

- Yeah, he built that
quantum chip free of charge.

He's such a mensch.

- You don't remember
the other timeline.

- Another timeline?

- Actually, you know what?

No, I am getting
a serious dose of déjà vu.

- Why am I the only one
that remembers?

- Do we need to call a medic?

- I was in the imaging chamber
directly connected to Ben--

that has to be it.

Uh, Janis and Beth,
are they still with us?

- Janis is still in Hawaii.

Beth and I
have dinner reservations

tonight at Emilio's.

Are you sure you're all right?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I am now.

- Okay, um.

So, uh, let's get back
to the matter at hand.

Now, I can activate
Hannah's code,

but we still need someone
to swap places with Ben.

- Somebody we can trust.

We can't have another
Leaper X situation.

- I'll get on the phone
to Washington

and start looking
at candidates.

- Magic.

You already have one.

- We'll be right behind you.

See you at the hospital.

You did good, Ricky.

- He always does.

- Hannah.

- I'll, uh, wait by the car.

God, it's just good to see you.

- Yeah.

I was hoping
your math was off.

Hey.

- Jeffrey told me about Josh.

- Oh.
- I'm so sorry.

- Sorry?

Ben, your letter gave us
more time with him,

more time as a family.

600 days, to be exact.

And I treasure
every single one of them.

They were a gift, Ben.

Everything you do--

for me, for others--

is a gift.

- I keep thinking about
all that Ben has sacrificed

for me, for all of us.

And if somebody has to take
his place, that should be me.

That's what I trained for.

- Addison, what if
something goes wrong?

- You step
into that accelerator,

we might never see you again.

It's too big a risk.

- Someone has to take it.

Plus, if the swap code works,
Ian can always bring me back.

- Addison, I--

I don't know that I can.

- You can, and you will.

* *

Permission to leap, Admiral.

- Granted.

* *

- You really think
the code will work?

I mean, I've had some
false starts--no offense.

It's gonna work.

You know, we've lived
a lifetime in seven days.

But now it's time
to go home, Ben Song.

Of course, for a nomad,

home isn't a place.

It's a person.

* *

* *

* *

- Ben?

No, what are you doing here?

- Addison?

Addison!

* *

- Ben.

Oh, I missed you so much.

Just don't let go, okay?

- I won't.

* *
