Journeyman s01e02 Episode Script

Previously on Journeyman: I can't find Dan.
I woke up this morning and he wasn't there.
He didn't show up for work, he missed the deadline, he hasn't called, and this just isn't like him.
What's today's date? October 6.
What year? Where have you been, Dan? I have been here.
Here? Here in this house? In this city? Katie said you disappeared for a couple days and didn't know it? Something like that.
And you went back in time? I saw Livia.
JACK: Livia's been dead for like nine years.
Do I know you? Not yet.
There's a facility in Auburn I know is good.
Auburn is for drug users.
Yeah.
DAN: Katie, I told the truth, that I go on these trips Through time Go ahead, you can say it out loud.
They found the plane in the water, but not your body.
Dan So did you even get on that plane Yes.
or am I just talking to a ghost? No, it's me.
Where'd you trip to this time, Dan? You'd never believe me.
Try me.
MAN: Okay, you have to lay perfectly still.
We're going to take a few pictures, hmm? The first is going to last about 30 seconds and the rest will get progressively longer.
How are you feeling, Dan? Fine.
Now, it's going to get a little noisy in there.
You want some head phones, listen to some music? I'm good.
(mechanical humming) All right, one sec.
Don't go anywhere.
Yeah, funny.
Hello.
WOMAN: Are you on the plane? Where are you? KATIE: We're just on our way to the airport now.
MAN: Okay, Dan, that's it.
Honey? Yeah? MAN: We're done.
You'll hear from us on Tuesday.
Great.
We've got a plane to catch.
Thanks.
I feel so guilty.
About Zack? Yeah.
It's way too long since we've been away without him.
This trip's for him, too.
He may get a sibling out of it.
I wanted to talk to you about that.
(metal detector beeping) Step over here, sir.
Put your arms up, sir.
Any objects in your pockets? No.
Cell phone? Any metal in your body? No.
Maybe it's broken.
MAN: We can check that out.
WOMAN: and remind you that cell phones must remain off until we reach our final destination.
(sighs) Tuesday seems too long for the MRI results.
Dr.
Pullen doesn't seem too worried.
You're having severe headaches and out-of-body experiences and Dr.
Pullen isn't worried? I left the other stuff out.
You didn't tell him about? Katie, let's start with the headaches and go from there.
You're starting to sound like you don't believe me.
I just I'm wondering if we're rushing the second child thing.
I thought that's why we were going away.
This trip was planned awhile ago, you know, before Listen, it's been a week and nothing's happened.
You still want to have another child with me, don't you? Relax.
We're going to have fun.
I got to use the head.
Beverage or cocktail? No thanks.
("Get Down Tonight" playing) Hello, sir.
You may want to return to your seat.
It's going to get a little bumpy.
Hmm Here you go.
Excuse me.
What seems to be the problem? WOMAN: It's locked, but no one answers.
MAN: Are you sure someone's there? (door handle rattling) (knocking) Hello? You okay in there? Are you all right in there? Hello? Can we assist you, sir? Sir? Don't say anything.
I'm not supposed to be flying this late.
Okay.
Excuse me.
This this woman's in labor.
Oh, my.
Is there a doctor on board? (slurring words): I am.
Proctology mostly.
STEWARDESS: Cindy? Uh, so what's your name? Diana.
Diana, now I want you to take short, quick breaths.
Try not to push until I see the baby's head.
Where is the father? No, no, there's no father.
I mean, he's out of the picture.
Oh, just help me, please! MAN: Sir, back away from the door.
WOMAN: What happened? MAN: I don't know.
May I have your name, ma'am? Katie Vasser.
Are you flying alone? Why? The lady in 17-B says you're aren't-- she says you're flying with a man.
Well, it appears that I'm not.
It appears that the lady in 17-B is mistaken.
All right.
Push, Diana, push.
(screaming) That's it.
Looks like you've done this before.
I was in the room when my son was born.
You'd have had to put a gun to my head.
How we doing here? How long before we land? 30 minutes to SFO.
There's a lot of bleeding.
The placenta may have separated from the uterus.
That's not a good thing.
Is everything okay? You're fine, you're fine, you're fine.
Just breathe, Diana, okay? You may need to land this plane.
Now! (phone dialing) It's Dan.
Leave a message.
Hey, it's me.
I fell asleep and when I woke up you were gone.
So now guess what, the pilot's turning the plane around.
Honey, I really hope you get this, 'cause we have a little problem here.
DAN: One more time now push.
(yelling) (baby crying) Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be landing a little short of our destination.
And please fasten your seat belts.
And it's a girl.
(cheering and applause) Why were you and your husband flying to Portland? We were going to a bed and breakfast.
And why is that, ma'am? I'd rather not say.
Ma'am, once a person boards a commercial airliner as a ticketed passenger, they're not allowed to leave.
If your husband did, that's a security breach.
And, Mrs.
Vasser, our flight manifest has your husband boarding the plane at 3:56 p.
m.
That's right.
He came on with me.
I'm-I'm pretty sure I fell asleep when we were still on the ground.
He must have left before we took off.
Knowing Dan, it was to get caffeine.
I need to ask you again-- What were your plans in Oregon? We were going to have lots of sex.
I'm not joking around here.
Neither am I.
(woman speaking French over PA) KATIE: Hey, it's me.
I fell asleep, and when I woke up, you were gone.
Sorry, Inspector, FBI has her now.
I'm not here on business.
Are you the husband, Mr.
Vasser? No, I'm her brother-in-law.
Then I'm sorry, sir.
What are you doing here? Your wife called me.
What the hell is going on? It's a misunderstanding.
Are you the husband? Yes, I walked off the plane before it took off.
I may have caused the problem.
Follow me, sir.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, God, babe We're going to let you all go now, but we will have more questions.
Of course.
Here's my card.
Thanks for coming, Jack.
I appreciate it.
I'll pull up the car.
I'll meet you at Departures.
Should we order in? Okay.
Or we could talk about me vanishing off a 747.
Or that.
Yeah.
You okay? I think so.
What happened, Dan? I delivered a baby on a plane-- a pregnant woman flying alone-- in the '70s.
What does that mean? I don't know.
The last time, I followed this guy through periods of his life.
Maybe I'm going to follow the mother on hers.
Do you think there are other married couples having this conversation right now? Probably not.
I can't control when I go, but I seem to come back to the present when I finish some chapter in the lives of the people that I'm tracking.
I don't know for sure.
I'm new at this.
I'm ovulating.
Okay.
This is my optimum time.
I knew weeks ago that this would be my best day.
Katie Katie, this changes nothing for me.
Dan, if what you're saying is true, it changes everything.
I think I'm going to skip dinner.
It's been a long day.
Hey, go home.
Livia? It's time to get up.
Why? Why us, Liv? Why? Why are both of us doing this? What year is it? I don't know.
My phone doesn't work here.
You're going to need an old phone.
You're also going to need expired currency, a personal ID, and don't travel with citrus.
It explodes.
I don't know why.
The cars look like the '80s.
Come on, Tanna.
Can we go somewhere and talk? There's no time for that.
Let's make time.
Who are you tracking now? I don't know.
I don't care.
Dan.
WOMAN: Come on, honey.
Help Mommy.
Some woman.
She had a baby on a plane.
Let go of me! You have to go.
I paid for these art classes.
I don't want to go today.
It's her.
Sweetie, I'm going to be late for work.
Fine.
I'll go.
Then get busy.
Busy doing what? What's she going to be like as a teenager? It's you.
You're the man on the plane.
You helped me.
Oh, my God.
I've been looking for you for years.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was me.
WOMAN: I checked with the airline.
I ran ads in the paper.
Some people claimed to be you, but they were all weirdoes.
Well, your search is over.
What do you do? My life is dull.
Let's talk about you, your daughter.
What were you two fighting about? She wants to meet her dad.
She hasn't met him? No.
No.
I never even told her who he was.
Maybe it's time that you did.
I don't know if that's a good idea.
You don't know Trevor.
The father? Yes.
Tanna she wants a family so bad-- a father, a sibling.
I just don't know if it's in the cards.
If you don't tell Tanna who her father is, maybe she'll end up resenting you.
Market Street! Everyone off for Market Street! This is my stop.
Okay.
I'd like you to meet my daughter sometime.
I don't have a phone yet, but I have a feeling we'll run into each other again.
All right.
Well Hey.
Did you come to bed last night? No.
I fell asleep downstairs.
I had a charger for this.
Have you seen it? It was in a box of old chargers that I sold at a yard sale.
Why did you do that? 'Cause it was a box of wires that fetched two bucks.
I wish you hadn't done that.
My phone doesn't work in certain time zones.
Ah, yes.
Well, had I known you were going to become a, you know, time traveler Come on.
It's got to turn you on a little bit.
It will, eventually, I'm sure.
Is it still your optimum time? Close enough.
Don't go anywhere.
Oh, we have, um, Ned and Kathy for dinner on Monday night, remember.
Right.
You bet.
I'll be there.
You know, maybe after breakfast.
I'm starving.
All right? Okay.
Want me to take a drug test? I'll take a drug test.
Oh, you didn't in the? Morning, noon or night.
I don't care.
This is very hot.
You shooting up plutonium? It's tea.
I just wanted you to know that I'm clean and I always will be.
Hey, you're the one who went AWOL.
I take my job seriously, Hugh.
And I take deadlines seriously.
Is it true they turned around a commercial airliner 'cause you walked off it before takeoff? Yes.
Would you say it's worthy of a news story? It involved an incident between my wife and myself, so my reporting on it would be a conflict of interest.
You're right.
That's why I'm going to put Jesse on it.
The kid with the blog? Why don't you just get him to make something up? 'Cause I prefer he starts somewhere in the neighborhood of the truth.
There's no story there, Hugh.
San Francisco International has a hole in their airport security.
You walked through it.
It's a story.
That was my tea.
So listen, I'm sorry for making you come down to the airport yesterday.
Yeah.
Let's discuss that.
You're always there for me.
I really appreciate it.
I don't want to be your first phone call anymore when you have marital problems.
Wow.
It's good I came in person.
It must be so much more gratifying saying that to my face.
You don't see where I'd have a problem with this? Jack, we broke up eight years ago.
You married my brother, Kate.
I can't just shrug it off and carve the Christmas turkey.
I didn't leave you for him, and I'm not the reason Livia died.
Sorry.
It's been a strange week.
How's he doing? He's going through some stuff.
In his "Way Back" machine? He had an MRI.
He knows it's not that.
An MRI? Why? He's having these headaches.
Okay.
I'll call him later.
I got to go to work.
(phone ringing) Hello.
Dan, it's Ken.
Yeah, I sent the file.
One question.
We're having a little trouble finding it.
Do you remember where you put it? Dan, you there? It's under "Callahan Press Conference.
" Can I call you back? Sure.
Dan, hey, I'm doing a story on Flight 680.
Did Hugh talk to you? My fault.
Sorry.
Taxi! Right here! Hey.
Dan and Livia aren't home right now.
Leave a message at the tone, and we'll call you back.
Bye.
You wait until the playoffs! Did you leave the door unlocked? No.
That's strange.
Don't turn the music on.
We're watching the game.
(all laughing and talking) Put her down! Come on, let's go.
! It's almost game time! (macho whooping) WOMAN: You're not getting any tonight.
Crazy! I want it! I want it! Baby, what are you doing? Come on.
You make a better door than a window.
Yummy.
Very sexy door, but come on, kickoff's in two minutes.
That's one more minute than you'll actually need.
Oh! Little brother got a lickin'.
Hey.
Hey, babe.
So, uh, Jack and I had a scare last month.
Really? So did we.
Really? Yeah.
Shh.
Oh, come on.
They're watching football.
A bomb could drop.
Did Dan freak? Are you crazy? I didn't tell him.
Why not? I don't know.
Because then Dan would want to get married and it'd be for the wrong reasons.
Sometimes Dan rushes into things without thinking them through.
And then he blames you when everything goes wrong? Exactly.
Anyway, I don't know if I'm cut out to be a mom.
Why? (pager beeps) Oh, shoot.
It's work.
I bet I have to go in.
Hey, it's me.
Sure.
Okay, I'll be right there.
Four-alarm fire in China Basin.
I gotta go.
Honey, sorry, I'm gonna need a ride.
Can you take a cab? Don't be an ass.
All right.
Sorry.
Next time.
Bye.
Bye, Dan.
Bye.
Bye.
(chuckles) Looks like we're alone.
You and me.
(giggling) Show you how to do that? (giggling): Yes.
You waiting for someone, too? Yeah.
My dad.
I'm not gonna wait much longer.
This was a bad idea.
It's over.
I think they're coming out.
You all right? This isn't gonna go very well.
Oh, my God, I think that's him.
I can't do this.
Do it.
Trevor? Yes? Someone wants to say hello.
Hi.
My name's Tanna Bloom.
My mom was Diana Bloom.
She used to be your secretary and she gave birth to me 30,000 feet over Lake Tahoe.
I'm your daughter.
I'll catch up.
What do you want? To tell you that Mom died.
She had a rare congenital heart defect.
I'm sorry.
She told me a lot about you guys, about how you were meant to be together, but your father didn't want you to marry the hippy.
Who's this? I don't know.
I'm just waiting for someone.
Mind doing it someplace else? Yeah, I do.
So is this about money? No.
I have a job at Dixon Graphics.
I'm gonna be an artist.
I just wanted to meet you because right now I'm all that's left.
Well, look, Tanna, your mother and I, it was a one-night thing, okay? She got pregnant, she claims I was the father.
I gave her ten grand and told her to move back home.
I don't know why she told you all the fairytale stuff.
Part of the deal was, she wasn't supposed to tell you who I was, and I'm sorry for you she didn't keep her end of the bargain.
Her name was Diana.
Uh here.
Buy some art supplies and good luck.
Hey, hey.
Wait, wait.
Tanna? (sobbing) Hey! (boy laughs) Put me down! No way.
Hey, I tried calling your office, the cell.
I was in a bad cell area.
Oh.
You okay? Yeah.
Had a lot on my mind.
Work stuff.
The salad fork goes on the outside.
Sorry.
It's okay.
The spa has a room for this weekend if you want to try again, but my sister can't take Zack.
You won't be ovulating.
Does that matter? Salad fork on the outside.
The forks You packed the birth control last time.
You weren't planning on getting pregnant.
On the plane, I said I was having second thoughts.
I told you that.
I think what you're telling me is you don't have too much confidence in this marriage lasting.
What?! That's not it at all.
I gotta go.
Where? Mustang's ready.
Did you forget why it's in the shop? Dan, you can't drive.
I'll take surface streets.
I'll go slow.
If I feel a headache, then I'll pull over.
We have people coming over for dinner in an hour.
I'll be there! Dan! ZACK: Are you guys fighting? No, sweetie, we're just talking.
(phone rings) JACK: Hello.
DAN: Hey, it's me.
I need a favor.
What now? You in Guantanamo? Katie and I want to go away this weekend and I was wondering if you could watch Zack.
Watch your kid? Watch your nephew, yeah.
He should know his uncle a little better.
You run this by Katie? She'll be okay with it.
All right, I got to see what I got going on.
Hey, Katie said you had an MRI? Yeah, it's nothing.
Listen, can I call you back? I got to take this call.
KATIE: Hi.
You've reached the Vassers.
Leave a message.
Damn! Hey, uh, yeah, I think I'm gonna be late for dinner.
Hey, is this plane sold out? Yes, sir.
You want to join the Mile High Club? Can I ask you something? If I am here for a reason, if I'm following someone, why are you here? I don't know.
Take your seats, please.
I don't have a seat.
Take mine.
Where are you gonna sit? I don't need it.
Take it.
It's me, isn't it? You're following me.
Maybe.
I don't know.
God, if you'd just once answer me.
You don't think this is hard for me, Dan? You don't think I have a thousand questions? Go ahead.
You can ask me anything.
When did you get married, Dan? Saw the wedding ring on your left hand.
Who's the lucky woman who got my fianc? You don't know.
All I know is I never wanted to leave.
Leave where? Where did you go when you left that plane? Where do you live now? When do you live? STEWARD: People, please, I need you to sit down.
Take my seat.
You won't be sitting next to a stranger.
STEWARD (over P.
A.
) We're beginning our descent into San Francisco.
The pilot has turned the seat belt sign back on.
Please fasten your seat belts at this time and put your seat backs and tray tables in their full upright and locked position.
Trevor Mason.
I met you at a mortgage conference last year in San Francisco.
What happened to the woman who was sitting here? Oh, she wanted a window seat so we switched.
You okay? Just dandy.
MAN: Dixon Graphics.
I'm looking for Tanna Bloom.
She just left.
Do you know where I might find her? She just got paid.
Try Dave's bar.
The Tenderloin.
Thanks.
Whoa! What's this? What? This is counterfeit.
No, no, it's just, um This isn't even good counterfeit.
It's all I got.
I'll have to get back to you, all right? Hey, wait! Whoa! Whoa! (horn blares) Tanna? Hey, dude.
Back of the line.
I just flew into town with your father.
He's not well.
You've got a father? I don't have a father.
Yeah, you do.
He has leukemia, Tanna.
He's here for treatment, but he doesn't have long.
Karma, meet Daddy.
Daddy, meet karma.
His only chance is a bone marrow transplant.
He needs a donor.
Listen, you just tell him that his daughter said to go to hell.
Yeah.
I doubt he'll care.
I doubt he thinks about you at all.
Don't drink your entire paycheck.
Try and save something for food.
Hey, why don't you leave her alone.
I'm trying to help her.
You're trying to get her to buy you drugs.
Hey, okay.
Relax.
(grunts): Hey, man! What you doing, partner? Hey! I want to say good-bye to this jerk.
You know where he is? Yeah.
Get in.
Going south on Hi.
Can I help you? Trevor Mason.
Down to the right there.
Thought I was nervous the first time I met him.
Who are you looking at? My old man.
You're the guy from the plane.
This is your daughter, Tanna.
Do you remember her? What the hell is going on here? I heard I have something you might want.
I don't want anything from you.
Who said you're getting it? I mean, I don't expect anything from you.
I sure as hell wouldn't help me if I were you.
Yeah, well, we're not the same person.
So how do they do these transplants? Well.
Uh they stick a big needle in your hip and suck out the bloody pulp and give it to me.
It's supposed to hurt like hell.
I wouldn't do that even if I loved you.
Hey.
Can I buy you a coffee? I don't know.
This is pretty good.
The test to see if I'm a match that isn't painful, right? I don't know.
Don't think so.
Then maybe I'll do it.
What? Why? Because I take after my mom.
Not big on flying, actually.
Me, either.
I hated it.
That's why I went for my pilot's license.
The whole conquer- your-fear thing? Yeah.
So I earn my pilot's license and it's the big C that gets me.
Anybody for irony? Yeah, there seems to be a lot of it going around.
Yeah, well, Fate never comes through the front door.
Amen.
Billy Marble.
Dan.
It's good ice cream.
Right when you get your appetite back, that's when they hit you with the poison again.
So where you from, Da? (sighs) I'm sorry.
It's okay.
We'll put dinner parties and operating heavy machinery on the "No Can Do" list.
As hard as this is for me, it must be harder for you.
I can't forget that.
It's okay.
No.
No, it's not.
Listen, I'm sorry.
I've been pushing the second kid.
You're right, now is not the time.
It's hard enough for me to hold onto the family I do have.
Dan.
We're not going anywhere.
How are you doing? I wish I knew.
Heyl I know you! You're the guy that brought me to the hospital to see my dad.
Yeah.
You haven't changed at all.
Neither have you.
Oh, God, please tell me I have.
All right, you have.
Uh I'm sorry I uh I didn't follow up.
How'd it go? Uh I wasn't a match.
He died in '96.
Well, I'm sorry.
It's okay.
You want to walk? Sure.
Hey.
I did match someone.
Really? Mm-hmm.
Another patient at the hospital.
Billy Marble.
I met him.
How is he? He's doing great.
He's flying humanitarian missions to Darfur or something.
You know the deal.
Stares death in the face, changes his life.
Sounds like he, uh, stays in touch.
He better.
I saved his damn life.
Maybe you helped a little.
(chuckling) You heading out now? Yup, I'm late.
Plane leaves in an hour.
This another attempt at Operation Second Child? No.
You need help with that? Because you don't seem to be getting it done.
What can I do for you? Jesse talked with the airline.
They say they have security footage of you boarding the plane at the gate and not coming off.
Okay.
So, he's gonna call you.
He has my number.
Six kids, Dan.
Six for six.
I'm just saying.
Vassers, Flight 124 to Portland.
Uh One moment, sir.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Vasser? Mm-hmm.
We have you on a no-fly list.
Can I ask you to step to the side, please? Folks, I need you to step to the side.
Mendocino's an hour away.
Did I tell you I got the results back from the MRI? There's nothing wrong with me.
