Post by bunniefuu »

Previously, on Travelers...

She uploaded a command while
pretending to save Marcy's life.

You mean you used me.

I have filed
a recommendation

for his father
to take custody.

Jacqueline, please!

It's not safe.

Pack a bag, go to your mother's
for a few days, maybe a week.

Okay, here I am.

What's so important?

I'm Traveler 4112.

The Quantum Frame,
it's being scrapped.

I'm gonna need your help
with a lot of things.

Welcome to the 21st.

I am so sorry.

How could he be offering
a Whistler chalet,

a Tuscan villa,
and a Caribbean hideaway,

all for $20,000?

I've gotta be honest...
I'm wondering the same thing.

Look, I've been
doing this a while,

and I have
never seen a deal like this!

So which property
appeals to you the most?

Maybe the Caribbean
hideaway?

Don't we all
wish we were there right now?

But seven to ten
days a year?

That's, like,
$2,000 a day.

Yeah!

If you go once!

It's a lifestyle.

Isn't that what
you were interested in, Dale?

Yeah...
I said that.

But that was
after you said

this would only
take 90 minutes

and we'd get a free dinner
at House of Rib.

90 minutes...

No, I hear you.

All right...

I don't know
how I'm gonna do it,

but let me
go talk to my manager,

and see if we can do better.

Give me five.

When I come back,

you'll have
a whole new perspective.

Kat!

I thought you said
the danger was over.

It is.

Then why are you holding a g*n?

You didn't call me back.

I thought you were still
at your mother's.

Why didn't you say something
when you came in the house?

I expected you to be at work!

I've been up all night.

I'm sorry if...

Doesn't matter,
I'm just glad you're home.

I'm not home.
I'm just here

to get
a few things.

I know the last couple of days
have been insane.

You know, I must have
left a dozen messages.

Until I got yours

at 4:00
this morning,

I thought for sure
you were dead.

That's all over now.

What's over?

Tell me.

You know
I can't talk about my work.

You've never said
my life was in danger!

Because of my work,
I was targeted by a... a group.

And I was afraid,
by association,

you might be
in danger, too.

It's not the case,
they're no longer a thr*at.

That's all I can say.

How do I even know
that's true?

You're obviously
capable of lying to me.

Please stay and talk.
I'll make breakfast.

No, I'm not
gonna do that.

Kat! Hey.

What? Are you
planning on supervising?

What do you want from me?

I don't want anything
from you, Grant.

Not a single thing.

David?

Hey!

I made pancakes.

You probably
don't remember

what pancakes are,

but I happen to know
that you like them a lot.

What's wrong?

Uh, nothing, just, uh...

You used to sleep naked
when we met,

and I thought
maybe you...

Nope.

False alarm.

How long you been up?

Oh, since, uh...

All night.

I was thinking of maybe
watching some TV,

but then you were
all wrapped up cozy

on the...
On the couch,

and I didn't want to wake you,
so, um...

then I, uh...

then I...

Hey, you know what?

Let's switch things up
and-and you sit here,

'cause I'm always
sitting on this side.

Oh. Yeah. Yeah.

Thanks.

Good.

Are you okay?

Hmm?

Sure!

I don't know.

No.

I mean,
a strange man d*ed

right across from where
I eat my cereal every morning,

and I'm just having
a hard time dealing.

David, he was gonna k*ll you.

That doesn't help.

I was the one that
he was looking for.

Well, that definitely doesn't...

David,
it's over.

You're safe.

Well, you know that...

does make me
feel a little bit better.

I thought your parents
were never gonna leave.

They're just
worried about me.

Yeah,
but the doctor said

it's just
temporary, right?

From the swelling?

Does it hurt?

No.

You really can't
feel anything?

Uh-uh.

Nothing?

No.

What about this?

Whoa.

Rene...

The nurse could
walk back in any minute.

You can feel that?

Rene...

Please... Please.

I'm still in recovery.
I should rest.

I shouldn't get too excited.

Okay... babe. You rest.

I'll see you
tomorrow...

and the next day...

and the next.

Do I seriously have
to listen to that

tomorrow

and the next day
and the next?

I almost pressed
the call button

because I thought I was
gonna throw up my lunch.

She's very young.

You're very old.

I can't argue
with that.

You really don't
feel anything yet?

I mean, the amount
of medical nanites

I gave you

was barely above
the minimum threshold,

but I thought you'd have
some sensation by now.

With age
comes patience.

How are you feeling?

Like I could
walk out of here,

but I'll have to fake it
for a while,

or they'll think
I'm a medical miracle.

Mm!

Besides, I love
the food in here.

It's amazing! Right?

Carly...

Carly!

What do you want?

How about
you answer your phone?

I'm not here to creep,

just to say thanks.

You can thank
your Sergeant.

He's the one that made me
give the statement.

Oh, I did.

Listen, I'm just as upset
about Jeffrey Jr. as you.

I'm not even allowed
to see him, Jeff!

No contact.

Me neither.

You didn't know?

Hey, partner.

Everything all right?

I just went into
the wrong bathroom.

Back to basic
training for you.

What's this?

Missing persons
report.

Doesn't missing persons fall
under local law enforcement?

We come in if there's
an interstate component.

Right.

All six failed to check
out of the same hotel.

Left all their belongings.

"Serenity Inn and Suites."

So... So I guess
we have to go there.

Yeah.

We're FBI agents.

Badges and everything.

All right, but, uh...

can you drive?

You just need practice.

Who'd like to start?

Hi. My name is Philip...
and I'm an addict.

Hi, Philip.

You know,
the hardest part about this

is admitting to yourself
that you're not strong enough.

Uh, that you can't just stop...

even when you know
what it's doing to you.

I was doing really well,
I was...

and then I lost
somebody close to me.

Technically, not, uh,
"lost" lost,

she's still in my life,
but she's just...

This is impossible to explain.

I feel like she's gone.

At least,
a part of her is.

Anyway...

I miss her.

Thank you, Philip.

Who'd like to go next?

Hi.

I'm sorry
about your friend.

Thanks.

We need all the support
we can get, right?

I'm Traveler 4514.

The Director assigned me
to help you.

You're right.

A little fresh air
is nice.

It's important
not to get fixated.

Was I fixated?

Yeah, I was.

It's normal to be
rattled by trauma.

You just want
to make sure

it doesn't tip into
something more serious.

Like what?

Here, let's sit.

Jesus.

I think
you're experiencing

early symptoms
of PTSD.

That's ridiculous.

Soldiers in battle
get PTSD.

First responders
of horrible disasters...

Heightened anxiety,

inability to sleep,

exaggerated startle response.

Exaggerated star...
You just made that one up!

I'm fine!

I mean, technically,
it's too early to diagnose,

but early treatment won't hurt
and it should help, so...

Here. Come here.

Give me your hands.

I want you
to close your eyes.

I want you to think about
what happened to you

while you focus on
my tapping... okay?

Seriously?
Is this a real thing?

'Cause it-it feels
a little bullshitty.

Uh, you know what?
I'm sorry. I, uh...

Could we just
keep walking?

Yeah. Good idea.

You know what?

I'm gonna head back
to the apartment.

I'll meet you back there.

Where are you going?

To get something
that'll help.

Okay.

So your mission
is to help me?

Specifically to...
give you this.

Eye drops?

Synthetic compound.

To help with
the heroin addiction.

It's invented 20 years
or so from now.

Naloxone,
buprenorphine...

and some other things

that are even harder
to pronounce.

But... it will
stop the craving

and curb
your withdrawal.

And I'm just getting this now?

Hey, I-I know
you were trying hard,

but then
you had the setback

when you got captured,
they gave you...

How'd you know about that?

The future.

Maybe the Director figured
you'd quit on your own

and you couldn't do it.

There. See?

It's perfectly...

That wasn't funny.

Yes, it was.

One drop per eye,
as needed.

Jenny, by the way.

These are amazing.

Yep.

Now what do I do?

Whatever you want.

What are you gonna do?

You had a simulator?

Wow. Okay.

Uh, just loosen up
on the wheel,

and try to get
out of your head.

You know, sing
a song or something.

Doesn't have
to be a song.

Just recite something
you know by heart.

Uh, list the protocols.

Uh, Protocol 1. Uh...

Mission comes first.

Uh, two, leave
the future in the past.

Now, let's
turn up here.

Protocol 3...

Don't take a life,
don't save a life,

unless otherwise directed.

Good.

Protocol 4, uh,
don't reproduce.

Don't reproduce.

I don't know how the hell
you got to work today.

Uh, just like that.

Yeah, well, Protocol 2

isn't gonna get you
out of practicing.

Hold on a sec.

Kat?

You're right.
We should talk.

Great. Uh...

Come by the house
tonight.

I'll make...

I'm staying at Nicole's
while she's away.

I'll text you the address.

Sure. Want me
to bring anyth...?

Carly,
they took away our son.

We need to be
on the same side.

You charged me
with as*ault,

blocked me
from getting a job,

told the judge
I was an unfit mother.

You have every right
to be pissed at me,

but I did those things

because I was
pissed at you.

So how about we stop being
pissed at each other,

and see what happens?

When I saw the girl
about to sh**t you,

I just felt...

I can't imagine what I'd do
if I lost you for good.

Yeah, I guess I never did
thank you for that.

Mm, well, you still haven't.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

So walk us through
what happened.

The seminar
was going great.

I had two buyers
on the hook.

Maybe three!

And then I...

I left the room
near the end,

to go get my manager.

We usually offer
a slightly better deal

to really
drive it home.

Sure.

Except when I came back,
20 minutes later,

they were gone.

20 minutes?

It's a sales
technique...

Just let 'em stew on it
a little bit.

Guess it wasn't
such a great deal.

Can you show us
the security footage?

Marce?

Hey. My key isn't working.

Hi.

Hey.

I stopped by the hardware store
on the way home,

and it turns out
they were having a big...

...sale on locks.

Yay, "safety."

Why don't you
have a seat?

Now, we only use this
for training purposes.

We don't care.

Right.

Can I have
one of these?

Sure, yeah,
but they're a day old.

Press play, please.

You didn't tamper
with this, did you?

No. No, I swear.

You can stop swearing.

Did you have more plans
for the group?

We were gonna shuttle them
to our sister location

to pick up
their free dinner vouchers.

In the shuttle bus
outside?

Yeah. Yeah, why?

Might want to get
your brakes checked.

What is this?

This is
an eye-movement therapy kit

to treat PTSD.

All right.

Follow the light
with your eyes.

I want you to think

about what you were doing

moments before
the man arrived.

I was washing dishes.

Concentrate
on how you felt.

What happened next?

Drying the dishes.

I-I don't see how
this is supp...

This is part of
the desensitization process.

Give me your hands.

Close your eyes.

All right.

He forced his way in.

How did you feel
when that happened?

He kept hitting me.

David...
David... David!

No!

David.

I'm right here.

Hey. Look at me. Hey!

You're fine.
I am right here.

Okay?

You're fine.
You're fine.

Let's concentrate on
one mystery at a time,

shall we?

New arrivals cause
static on video cameras,

so it's pretty obvious
that it's six new Travelers.

With a total disregard
for Protocol 5.

Maybe they're
working on mission.

Let's be sure.
In the meantime,

we bury any connection
to this hotel.

Philip, are you there?

Yeah, go ahead.

I'm leaving
what looks like

the scene of
a mass arrival...

Six people in
a hotel conference room.

Do you remember
anything about

a group of travelers
arriving today in Bellingham?

Uh, how were they
supposed to die?

I'm just guessing,
but something

with a shuttle bus.

Brake failure, maybe?

Nothing
like that today,

but you know the timeline's
been changing.

Yeah. Or maybe
they went missing

for a different
reason.

What, you mean like
how we went missing?

Let's hope not.

I'll keep on it.

Sorry about that.

Oh, must be
a relief.

What?

If you're seeing changes
in the timeline,

it'll mean you won't have
to carry the burden

of knowing everyone
who's about to die.

Maybe eventually.

It's amazing how
little has changed

considering everything
we've done.

I know what happened
with Aleksander Andreiko.

Maybe we shouldn't
be talking about that.

Hey, I agree
with what you did.

You saved
that kid's life.

You know the Director
isn't perfect.

We definitely shouldn't
be talking about that.

Don't forget.
We created it.

The Director might not
be able to break rules,

but we can.

What?

I feel like I'm waiting
to be struck by lightning.

Not a black cloud
in the sky.

Come on.

Where are we going?

It's a surprise.

Is that
any better?

I have no idea.

I have another,
different treatment.

Can it be later?

Sure.

Although, sometimes,

medicine is
the best medicine.

Cannabis is known to help
with symptoms of...

Absolutely,
it's known to.

You need to inhale the smoke.

Oh, I'm familiar
with the process.

You know, it's excellent
for memory loss, too.

Hey.

Hi.

Come in.

Wow. This is nice.

You've been
here before.

We helped her
move in.

Right. Right.

All I remember is boxes.

What are you
doing?

Opening some wine.

So, how long's
Nicole away?

All year.
She's on sabbatical.

What's that?

Separation papers.

They have
to be filed...

Wait, wait, wait.
You...

You're talking divorce?

You broke your vows, Grant.

And I told you,

it's the worst mistake
I ever m...

sh*t.

No, don't touch it.

I'm sorry.

You're bleeding.

Yeah.

I'll get it.

Do you have any...?

Yeah, yeah.
In the bathroom.

Everything
all right?

I got to go.

No, not before
you sign these, Grant. I...

Thank you.

Are you okay?

Trevor?
Are you asleep?

Uh... I was.

I was dreaming.

About what?

I was walking
in the park.

I don't dream much.

I can tell.

Sorry. I shouldn't
have woken you.

I'm just used to being able

to have
intelligent conversations

24/7.

I thought you weren't
much of a people person.

Who said that?

Ellis.

Oh.

He was right, actually,

but I was talking
about the Director.

Lamenting those conversations
are over now.

I talked
to the Director

a few times.

I talked to it
endlessly.

I don't know
what to do with myself.

Protocol 5.
You can counsel children.

Please, I said
intelligent conversation.

So you miss the Director?

Huh.

I think I do.

Interesting.

You miss her, don't you?

I can tell by the way
you look at me.

What you see
is my realization

that, instead of
saving Grace's life,

I made her last few
hours terrifying.

I guess I've cheated
death for so long,

I thought that
I could do the same

for somebody else.

But I've lived long
enough to know better.

Well, try to understand

that the faction had already
corrupted the Director.

The grand plan was in jeopardy.

I understand.

Ladies and gentlemen...

please give a warm welcome
to our speaker for this evening,

Dr. Edwin Calloway!

You can't be serious.

Edwin Calloway?

Do you know
how much hatred

and intolerance
this guy inspires?

Immigration...

is the true test
of a nation,

because the nation needs to be
strong enough to survive it.

Too much accommodation...

This guy
is a r*cist d*ck.

I am not
watching this.

Shh. Just wait.

How many people here today
feel like

this country is headed
in the right direction?

And how many feel like

their cultures and traditions
are being respected

by the people they suddenly find

taking their jobs,
dating their daughters?

Well, there's a reason
you all feel this way...

Their cultures
don't respect your culture.

That's a mistake.

All right. Shut it off.

Shut it off!

Shut it off!

You did that?

Still not
struck by lightning.

Here.

No, thanks.
I feel fine.

Yeah, but do you want
to feel amazing?

Hold on, hold on,
hold on.

Protocol 4, right?

What was I saying?

Uh...

that you should
sell the apartment?

Right.

Although, I think you got
to say if someone d*ed,

you know, on
the disclosure form.

Just...

Re-stain the floors
and nobody needs to know.

See?

That's why

you're an FBI doctor.

Who am I kidding?

I can't
sell this place.

All my stuff's here.

Oh, man.

I'm really
feeling this.

I don't feel anything.

Hey, Mac?

Whatever it is,

try figuring it out
on your own.

I just did.
Come on, check this out.

Two of our missing people were
just flagged in Sacramento.

Local PD got 'em
for running a red light.

"Dale Miller"

and "Meredith Gilroy."

Looks like they don't
know how to drive either.

I suggested
that these two

were just
having an affair.

What about the others?

Technically?

No longer under
our jurisdiction.

Local PD
took it back.

There's hope for you yet.

Hey.

Hey.

What is this?

I got a present for you.

Wow.

Looks great.

It, uh,
it even covers up the...

Yeah, that's
kind of the idea.

I got you a present, too.

Yay, safety.

I'm not gonna be
needing those.

I'm not staying.

What?

You can continue
the therapy on your own,

as you feel
you need it.

But I can already tell
that you're getting better.

W-When did you
decide this?

I was told my living here
was always temporary.

You can't just buy me
a goodbye rug and then...

David...

you went through
a traumatic experience.

Yeah, I'm feeling
another one coming on.

Well, just keep up
with the treatments...

Don't talk to me
like I'm a patient.

I'm responsible
for what happened.

You said we were safe.

You are, but...

you'll be safer without me.

How is that even possible?

You're the one
who saved me.

And look at the result.

I mean, your anxiety
may never completely go away.

I did that to you.

You asked before
if we were intimate, and...

I didn't know what to say
because, I mean...

Well, I don't know,
because I'm an idiot.

What I should have said
was, yes.

We were intimate.

I love you, Marcy.

And you love me.
You just don't remember.

You're right.

I don't.

But I do care about you.

Enough to leave.

I understand
this is a difficult time

for both of you.

But the 72-hour
dependency action was filed

and Jeffrey Jr. will be
in the care of the state

until the next assessment.

That's why we're here.

We need to see him.

Not until
the next hearing.

I'm sorry.

Trust that
he's in a good home.

I'm his father!

I have a right
to see my son.

The action was filed
for Jeffrey's safety.

By who?

It was you, wasn't it?

When we received information
regarding the police incident...

Okay. Hold on.

I was cleared of all charges...

I called you,
Mr. Conniker,

and we spoke at length,

but I understand why you may
forget the conversation.

We also tried unsuccessfully
to contact you, Ms. Shannon.

So what do we do?

Based on your current behavior
and your history...

I think it might be
time to consider

allowing another guardian
to take care of Jeffrey.

Indefinitely.

I'm not gonna give my son
over to some stranger.

Unless things radically change,

that is going to remain
Jeffrey Jr.'s best option.

Philip?

Yeah!

Just one minute!

Who are you?

This is Jenny.

Hi.

Hello.

Philip, can I talk
to you for a second?

Did you bring a 21st-er to Ops?

Well, actually,
she's a Traveler.

And that's better how?

So I'm gonna go.

Good idea.

Talk to you later?

What's going on?

I'm clean,
Marcy.

That's how we met.

The Director sent her
to help me.

A synthesized drug
to help me get off heroin.

I need to know

what this is made of.

Naloxone,
buprenorphine,

and some
other things.

What other things?

I don't care.
It works!

My body doesn't hurt
when I'm not high.

I get to have a normal life.

There's nothing normal
about this!

Why?

Because
I met someone?

You have somebody.

Not anymore.

I'm gonna stay
here for a while,

until I find my own place.

Of course.

This place is yours, too.

You okay?

I'm fine.

Mr. Holden.

Mr. Doc.

What's
the prognosis?

Still a lot
of inflammation.

Do you feel
anything yet?

Even pins
and needles?

I think so.

It's hard to say.

Well... let's, uh,
do the test again.

Ow!

Oh, I felt that.

And movement.
That is excellent.

Excellent!

- Does this mean...?
- It means there's hope!

Wow.

Thank you so much.

Would you like me
to contact your folks?

I-I would like that
very much, yes,

because they'll want
to thank you, too.

I'll check in again later
before I go today,

but how about one
of these, buddy?

All right.

Hope?

There are medical nanites
designed in the future

swimming through
your spinal fluid

that I programmed personally,
repairing the damage.

There was never any doubt.

Well, I wanted him to feel good
about the job that they did.

Well, I want them
to bring breakfast.

They're half an hour late
already,

and I'm starving.

Thank you for saving me, Grace.

You already said that.

Hi.

Come on in.

Carly, what're you doing?

What do you think?

You're not gonna
find anything.

I told you,

I stopped drinking.
This is for real.

No, Jeff.

This is for show.

And you better not
screw it up...

because this is our one chance
to get Jeffrey back.

Don't worry.
It's gonna work.

The big question is,

where do I put my, uh, stuff?

By the couch.

Hey, um, you hungry?

I was thinking...

She's not here, is she?

The bitchy little blonde?

"Marcy"

is out
looking for an apartment.

That's why I texted.

You seen this?

His followers
went nuts on him,

and then, this morning,

he woke up,
sh*t his wife and his kid,

before he k*lled himself.

- Philip, I know...
- His wife and child

...Are dead
and it's our fault.

You mean my fault.

I mean
this is f*cked up, Jenny!

No. It really isn't.

None of this would've happened

if you hadn't hacked
his presentation.

He probably would've
gone on spewing hate

that led to the deaths
of hundreds of people.

Thousands!

You tell me,
you're the historian.

It's not up to us.

I didn't tell him

to k*ll his family.

All I did

was tell the truth.

And his wife and child?

The world
is a better place

without
Edwin Calloway.

And I'm sorry,

maybe he took
some innocent people

down with him,

but I refuse
to feel guilty about it.

Yeah, well,
the Director's gonna know.

If the Director thought
what we were doing was wrong,

why didn't I get a messenger?

Orders from another
team to back off?

Can you look me in the eye
and tell me

what I did
was not a good thing?

Kat.

Grant, what are you doing here?

You can't just show up here.

Kat. I know.

What?

That you're pregnant.

What? Did you show your badge
to my obstetrician?

No.

Can I come in?

I saw your supplements
in the bathroom.

You went through
my things?

Yes, I did,

and you can give me
sh*t for that

after we talk.

I am not doing that.

Yes, you are.

Kat!

It happened the night
of your surprise party,

the one time we made love
in the past four months.

I just found out.

I haven't even decided
to go through with it yet.

It was hard enough before,

when I knew how
you felt about me.

You do know
how I feel about...

And if I decide not to,

I won't have you standing there
judging me.

This is something we wanted
more than anything.

It's my decision to make,
and I'm gonna do it on my own.

You should go.

So, the Tuscan villa,
the Whistler chalet,

and the Caribbean hideaway...

Three stunning properties

all for the price of two
or three normal vacations.

All right.

I can tell you need
a little more motivation.

I'll go see if my manager

can knock a few dollars
off the purchase price.

I'll be right back.
