Quantum Leap s03e19 Episode Script
Last Dance Before an Execution - May 12, 1971
Theorising that one could time-travel within his own lifetime, Doctor Sam Beckett stepped into the quantum leap accelerator and vanished.
He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better.
His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear.
And so Doctor Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leapwill be the leap home.
Wait a minute! There's been some kind of a mistake.
You're the one who made the mistake, Jesus.
No.
Jesus? No.
Just try to think of someplace far away.
What? Let it be known that on the 12th day of May 1971 in the presence of these witnesses, that Jesus Ortega was condemned by the State of Florida to death by electrocution Oh, God! (GUARD DOG BARKS) .
.
for the murder of Father Vincent Torelli on the ninth day of No, wait a minute! .
.
1971.
It is thereby agreed by all present here (PHONE RINGS) (RINGING CONTINUES) (RINGING CONTINUES) The Warden.
Yes, sir.
You were just granted a 48-hour stay of execution by the Governor, and so was Raul Casta.
(CLAMOUR) We need some information! Please! We need to know what's going on! This is why the state of Florida needs a new governor, one who is not afraid to bring a convicted murderer to justice.
Why did the Governor grant a stay? Because he hasn't got the guts to stand up to the liberal, bleeding-heart pressure group.
Are you saying that if you're elected Governor, you could? You're damn right I could! You think he will stay the executions of the other five? Not if I've got anything to say! Listen, I will not allow murderers, rapists and convicted criminals to go free.
And you can quote me on that! (CLAMOUR) Moody's gonna fry whoever pulled this off for you .
.
in the same chair! (LAUGHS) Ignore him.
You're alive, at least for the next 48 hours.
How the hell did you do it, man? We're gonna call you Lazarus, man! Lazarus! (LAUGHS) You did it! We still have a chance.
You're home.
Forget where you lived? Or did Wohorski let a little current ooze through? Are you OK, Ortega? Ortega? I said, are you OK? He's terrific! For somebody who just got his chain ripped off the Grim Reaper's door.
Ain't that right, Ortega? Sorry about the boxes, but you weren't expected back.
I wouldn't work too hard on unpacking.
Two days go by real fast.
(TURNS KEY IN LOCK) Real fast.
They listened! (LAUGHS) They listened! Y-Y-You said that they'd listen to their own laws.
You were right.
INMATE: Somebody shut him up! You were right! (SOBBING) All the time All the books.
You did it! Mi amigo! He wrote an appeal? What the hell kind of an appeal could an illiterate Cuban write? All I get is that Ortega's appeal has 'em digging through the files for some kind of evidence that he says was omitted from his trial.
What kind of evidence? We don't know, sir.
Come on, Rip.
Come on, come on! Where the hell's Tearsa.
She knows all about this case.
She's out at the prison doing some paperwork.
What was the appeal based on? Maybe that it only took us six days to get him convicted.
Herb, you don't get punished for not wasting the taxpayers' money.
Bowman's only doing this to get the bleeding-heart vote.
They're all liberals in this state.
Not as many as there are conservative! Come on! What the hellwas in that damn appeal? We don't know.
What could it have been? Something that Bowman felt strong enough to issue a stay on.
Look, Ortega has just spent the past going through a stack of old law books.
All that he could come up with possibly is a technicality and that is all! The priest identified Ortega and Casta on his death bed.
Two other witnesses put him at the crime scene.
What can he have? That's what you were meant to find out! Come on! Ortega got a stay! If he gets a mistrial, Bowman will get the liberal vote, I will be tied up in court during election.
he will have me where he wants me! Look, look, if we did it by the books, which we did, there's no problem.
We did it by the books, didn't we? We have nothing to worry about.
You two have nothing to worry about.
I have $80,000 sunk into a gubernatorial campaign.
I intend to win! I'm going back to the Governor's office.
I'm gonna get a copy of the damn appeal and find out what that technicality is.
We're gonna have those two fried long before election day, I guarantee it.
You'd better.
You'd better.
Are you writing the great American novel? Where the hell have you been? I almost died in the electric chair.
Sam, it's not always so easy to find you - What? I was in the chair! Where were you? It's not like you're lost in a mall.
You're lost in time! I got here as soon as I could.
I'm sorry.
Did you find anything out about Jesus? Well, he's out cold in the waiting room.
We can't revive him.
Dr Beeks thinks that Jesus thinks that he's already dead.
So he's slipped into a kind of comatose coma.
Well, tell Beeks to bring him round! You can't just dump a bucket of water on his head and say, 'Hey, get up! You're not dead! You're just 25 years in the future.
' These things take time, Sam.
We don't have a lot of time, Al.
OK, let me justget this thing in the right mode.
According to Ziggy, you die on the That'sThat's in two days.
I got that, Al! Why? Why? Why? Well, probably because you can't live with 2,000 volts running through your body.
Why was Jesus executed? You and Raul were convicted for robbery and murder.
According to Ziggy, they admitted robbing the church, but the deny killing the priest.
So you're probably here because they're innocent.
But they got three eyewitnesses, Al, including the dying priest, who put us both at the church.
Plus tests would show the gun they found in Jesus' apartment matches the gun used on the priest! What if they're telling the truth? What if they did rob the church but did not kill the priest? Ziggy says there's an 83 percent probability of So we figure out who murdered the priest and saved my life.
Jesus's life.
No, my life! I was the one in that chair and I'm the one who's gonna be in it unless I figure out what Jesus couldn't.
What you doing? Rehearsing your press release? There's a counsellor here to see you, Ortega.
Bingo! A lawyer! I'm sorry, Ortega.
Rules are rules.
Good luck, amigo.
Good luck.
Jesus, where you going, man? Oh! Look at this, Sam! If I had an attorney like that when I was in court, I'd still be in court! We did it! We did it! Oh, Jesus! We have a chance! We've got a chance to stop Moody from killing you and Raul.
Theodore Moody, the district attorney.
The guy who was busting a gut this morning.
Yeah.
If he ever found out I was helping you, that'd be the end of little Tearsa Lorrea, so fast it would make your head spin.
Tearsa Margareta Lorrea, aged 28 and single! Maybe you shouldn't be here, then.
I'm being careful.
No, she isn't, Sam.
If Moody finds out, I'll tell him I'm pumping you for information.
Moody doesn't buy that.
In fact he was disbarred in '72 for immoral conduct.
I can't be worried about this now, about me.
Not when we're this close to proving you and Raul are innocent! Here! She doesn't prove anything.
She ends up dong life as a social worker in a Florida unemployment office and you - I mean, Jesus - and Raul .
.
still burn in the chair.
This is exactly what we've been working for.
When Bowman saw Moody's ballistics tests were inconclusive, he called for an examination of all the evidence! It's just a matter of time before he sees that you and Raul are innocent! Raul Casta, a widower, father of one.
(LAUGHS) All right, you're not innocent, you committed a robbery, but you didn't murder a priest.
Jesus, remember I told you that every barrel of a gun leaves a unique mark on the bullet? Come.
Moody says that the bullet they took from Father Torelli matches the ones from your gun.
According to this test, they didn't! They lied? So then Moody lied! He presented the test as if it were conclusive and your attorney didn't contest it.
Do you know what this means? What? That Moody's evidence was inconclusive.
She's got a point there.
They can't fry somebody on that.
He based your whole case on these ballistics tests.
AndAnd the witnesses that placed you and Raul at the robbery, not the murder.
And they got away with it? Almost, almost.
But he disregarded the Sixth Amendment, he did not corroborate your DD-5, he intimidated your court-appointed attorney I've watched this guy manipulate the law to become everything I've ever hated about lawyers.
Hold on a second, Sam.
If she's working for this Moody, what's she doing here helping you? Why are you helping me? Your letters.
They made me aware that I was allowing Moody to kill my people, who were ignorant of the laws.
You reminded me when my parents ran away from Cuba.
Yeah, but if Moody finds out what you're doing here, he's gonna fire you.
I still have to live with myself.
I'm not like Moody! I never knew there were lawyers with morals.
It's a pity that Moody breaks her.
Jesus, you and Raul are innocent.
We are going to prove it.
OK.
Sam, I am gonna go check see how Ziggy's coming with that interface.
Maybe I can find something.
Sam, I like her.
What? You're different again.
I'm different? Yeah.
The first time I met you in court, you were very arrogant and angry and accused me of being a traitor to our people.
I'm sorry about that.
I - It's all right.
When the trial ended, you changed.
Sitting on death row has an effect.
Well, your letters changed.
And when you wrote that appeal, I changed, Jesus.
I believed in something again.
We have a lot of work to do.
Listen, go back through everything, make sure we didn't miss anything.
And tell Raul we've got a chance.
We've got a good chance! I'm ready.
Tearsa Be careful.
(DOOR SHUTS) Jesus's research had taken him into every case that was overturned on a technicality.
On the one hand, it felt strange to be doing exactly what Tearsa had accused Moody of - manipulating the fine points of the law.
On the other, the thought of being strapped into that chair again (DOOR OPENS) Jesus? What did she say? She says we have to go over the whole thing all over again, OK? In case we missed anything, we should go over everything again.
Why? Because I wanna see it like Moody would see it.
My erRosita was sick.
The fever was so high that I knew she was gonna die.
It was crazy.
No wife, a sick kid.
I went over to your apartment about seven to ask for money.
We erwe talked for a long time and then we decided to go to church.
We said that after all the money we gave in collections, maybe for once the Madonna could give it back us.
But the Madonna, she did not help.
What about the priest? The priest? He was sorry.
He said he was sorry my nino was sick, but there was no money for medicine.
What about the money for the poor? He said we were gonna use the money for rum.
Then what happened? I went crazy! I told him his vestments were a lie and that he was not a man of God, because God would help a sick child! Then thethe sisters heard my scream and they came out .
.
and you pulled me back to the chapel.
You said Torelli was no padre, that this wasn't a house of God.
And with your bare hands, you broke the lock on the poor box and we took the money.
(TEARFUL LAUGH) Six dollars.
(CRIES) We're gonna die for six dollars.
(CRIES) Raul, we're not gonna die.
What time did we leave the church? About a quarter to eight.
I remember because I knew we had enough time to get to the pharmacy, to get to Julio.
Julio Antuna.
Yeah.
He was a doctor in Cuba.
He couldn't get his licence when he came over, so he swept the floors in the pharmacy.
He stole the medicine for my Rosita when he saw I didn't have enough money.
That'sThat's why I thought maybe he didn't come to the trial.
I swear to you, Jesus, I was with them when the priest got murdered, me and Rosita, man.
(SPEAKS SPANISH) Guard! Guard! Hey! What is your problem, Ortega? I need to make a phone call.
It's after hours.
You know the rules.
I don't have hours.
I'm gonna be dead in less than 32.
I'll get busted.
Please.
Please.
This makes no sense.
'What doesn't?' Julio Antuna moved out of the area two days after the murder.
Something is not right.
Raul thinks that it's because Julio stole medicine for Raul's daughter.
According to the police records, two officers went to see him right after Father Torelli died.
But the report they filed is missing.
The next day, Mr Antuna disappeared.
She found out more than we did! Julio Antuna never registered in the United States.
We searched the whole country and he never went as Julio Antuna.
This is crazy.
The ballistics test was inconclusive.
There was a discrepancy between the time witnesses put Raul and I at the church, plus the only friendly witness vanished 48 hours after the crime! We can get him, Jesus.
Look, I better get out of here.
Why, where are you? In Moody's office.
Moody's office? Get out of there! Go, Al! I'm on it.
He took all the files and put them in his office.
Uh-oh.
Er, tell her to look out the window, Sam! Listen, Moody's coming.
Look out the window! What have you got? An angel on retainer? Just get out! He called me for a meeting.
As long as I'm not on the phone with you.
Look, I'll get word to you, as soon as I hear from Bowman.
Tearsa! (DOOR OPENS) This is a happy group.
What did you find out? I found out that someone from this office has been working with Ortega.
Stay cool.
He doesn't know it's you yet.
Whoever it is, he's given the Governor enough information to force a stay of execution, maybe even overturn the conviction.
Bowman has subpoenaed our records.
And he's talking seriously about re-opening the trial.
Good! How did he find out? Come on! He's not gonna say who the Judas is! Careful.
Maybe it's not someone in the office.
Maybe it's someone - It's internal.
They know too much.
But not everything.
That sounds like the lawyers I know.
I want everyone in this office checked.
Everyone! I want personal call lists.
Schedules.
Meetings.
Over the past eight months.
Go back to the trial if you have to.
Do whatever it takes.
I wouldn't worry about Ortega and Casta.
I'm not, Herb.
If the can't introduce any new evidence, they'll reschedule the execution for tomorrow and it'll be over.
But hear me, people, I want this Judas.
Now do it! He's gonna break you into a million pieces and walk away with the Governorship and let two innocent men die.
I just hope Sam Beckett's not one of them.
They've rescheduled the execution for tomorrow morning.
Is there a time? we're missing.
She's checked out everything, Sam.
I've hired an investigative team to find Julio.
With her own money.
But I need more time.
We need a stay from the Governor.
What about Bowman? He's not gonna push for an extension unless we find some real hard evidence.
What's a through-and-through? That's a police term to describe a shooting.
It's when a bullet completely passes through the body cavity and comes out the other side.
According to the coroner's report, Father Torelli was killed by multiple gunshot wounds, one of which they found lodged in the sternum and another one which passed through the lung, ripping through the left ventricle before it left the body.
So where's the second bullet? Yeah.
So what happened to the second bullet? We never found it.
Forensics searched for two days.
Maybe modern technology has a way of finding it now.
Nice shot.
They searched all the walls, the heating grates, the curtains.
They even pulled down statues.
if I can get Ziggy to modify the sensors on the handling, they can work it as a kind of metal detector.
I need you to check again.
It has been almost two years, OK? If I can centre on her brainwaves, that'll give Ziggy a clear sensory base to pull from, but I gotta have her ideas.
If we can find that bullet in one piece, we can prove that it wasn't my gun that killed the priest! Get her there! Do you understand what I'm saying? Yes, but that bullet can't still be in that church! What else do we have? I dunno, but we can spend time - What? We can't find Julio.
You can't alter the statements of a dead priest or the witnesses.
The bullet is our only hope! OK.
OK! All right.
What do you want me to do? Just look? Um No.
No, no.
You gotta do more.
I think you have to re-enact the shooting.
This is crazy! No, it's not! I came across some transcripts from the court files.
There was this testimony from this expert witness, this Dr Michaels guy.
He gave his report based on where the body was found.
Based on Torelli's physical position at the time of the shooting, you could pinpoint exactly where the bullet came out! OK.
Listen.
We've done that.
Do it again, then! It's all right here! OK, OK All right.
I'll do it.
It's right here, see? Wait.
You gotta have this! OK? All right.
I'll call you.
OK.
OK (BELL TOLLS) Oh, good.
Thank God you're still here, Tearsa.
All right Had a heck of a time converting this handling, but Ziggy says it's gonna work to do this detecting, but What, are you gonna let me do this all alone? That's OK.
We know that the priest was killed up here by the altar, so that's where I'll start.
Turn this on This is gonna work.
Just show it a little lead and I'll show you a bullet.
This is useless.
I've gotta do something! Anything! Well, you can pray that we'll find the bullet! Could help.
Hey, hey, don't move! You didn't hear me, did you? No.
OK Nothing Nothing over there Nothing over there.
(BLEEPING) Ah! Ah, there's something there! There's something over here! (BLEEPING INTENSIFIES) (HIGH-PITCHED SIGNAL) Uh-huh That's it! We've found it! I know it's been a long time since I've knelt before you, and I know that it's sad that I haven't seen your light Light! Oh, can you see the light? Please.
Show me the answer.
It's right there in the wall! Show me a way to help these men.
I'm trying! I know that they've done wrong, but it was for the good of a child! A child! I beg you to be merciful! I could use some help here! CHILD: Are you an angel? No, I'm not.
I wish I were! Not you.
Him! Can you see me? Yes.
Course you can, because you're an innocent child and Wait! She can't see you.
That's right.
She can't.
But would you like to help the angel? Come on, come on.
We've gotta talk to this lady.
All the angel needs is for you to go and tell that lady to stop.
Run, run! The angel said to stop! What? I'm sorry.
I told you never to speak to strangers.
No, no, no.
The angel wants me to tell her.
Enough.
I'm sorry.
Say her name.
It's Tearsa.
Tearsa! Just say, 'The bullet!' The bullet! Wait.
Senora, please.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what's wrong with her.
She never acts like this.
Listen to me closely.
Tell her it's behind the frame.
It's behind the frame.
The bullet.
The bullet.
She's seen too much TV.
Senora, wait.
I was praying to the Madonna to help me find the bullet.
I think she's letting me know through this child's words.
A miracle? I think so.
Is the angel still here? Oh, yeah.
Can he tell you where the bullet is? The lower left-hand corner.
The lower left-hand corner.
The picture of the Madonna.
The picture of the Madonna.
Thank you! Thanks, honey.
You've got an angel that owes you one.
Es un milagro! (BELLS RING) You're out of here, son.
You're out of here! Ha ha ha! You found the bullet? Yes! It was right there in the wall.
Do you wanna know why they couldn't find it? Do you know? No.
Let me The bullet went right through the priest, into the wall, and when it did, it hit right on the corner of this picture frame that moved the frame a little bit, and then gravity swung it back over the hole.
So when the police looked at it, they looked for a bullet hole, but they never checked behind it.
Well, that's great.
Now we just wait for Tearsa to take the bullet to Ballistics, they check it against Jesus's gun, it doesn't match, so that proves that you and Raul are innocent, and whoopy-dong, you're history! And then Moody is forced to reopen the case.
Absolute-a-roony! So why am I still here? If Tearsa found the bullet and it's OK, shouldn't I be leaving about now? You got a point.
Maybe it's because I'm being given a chance to say goodbye to Tearsa, something like that? Beep beep beep Right? What? Well, um What? Erm It's just that the ballistic report says that the bullet Tearsa found came from Jesus's gun and proves conclusively that you murdered Father Torelli and you're guilty, Sam.
And Ziggy says you're gonna die in the chair in three hours and 17 minutes.
You lied to me! Look at me! You look at me! I'm sorry.
Sorry? For what? For using me? Letting me think that you were innocent when you murdered a priest? I believe Jesus Ortega was innocent! No matter what crime he committed, I'm here because something isn't right.
What are you on about? I don't belong here.
I'm not the man who killed that priest.
Oh, no (!) I'm not the man who wrote you those letters or wrote that brief.
I'm not that man! Then who are you? If I told you, if I tried to explain, you would never believe me.
No.
You try and explain it to me! Explain to me what you were doing when you were preaching to me about my dignity, about my responsibility to all those Cubans that were repressed by the American system! You used me! I never used you! I never lied to you! I never lied to you! (BUZZER) Well Well, well It's so nice to catch the two of you together Let it go, Theo.
It's over.
Over? For him it's over.
For you, it's just beginning.
For you I have a special punishment to fit your disloyalty.
It's hard to be loyal to the devil.
Whatever happened to how much you admired me? How much you hoped your career would mirror mine? I didn't know you then, and what you were capable of.
Convicting murderers.
I thought they were innocent! They weren't.
You have to pay for that, Tearsa.
You don't have to destroy her.
She's a traitor.
Because of her, you have your conclusive evidence and Raul and I will be dead in an hour.
Isn't that enough? No.
What is it with you? You won't be happy till everyone here is dead? Your impending death has made you a very brave man.
I don't wanna see Tearsa's life ruined.
You won't.
You'll be dead.
You are so cruel.
I'm cruel? What about you? I trusted you! I gave you my confidence.
I taught you the jewels of law and you betrayed me.
How many people have YOU betrayed? You put the five men on death watch by pushing their cases through court.
Five convicted criminals.
Who might be innocent! You weren't - Guilty.
Innocent.
This is not about guilt or innocence.
You're using their bodies to get to the Governor's mansion! Whatever it takes.
Well, I'm gonna make sure everybody knows what you are! I don't think so.
I think that you will slither away with your tail between your legs because I'm having you disbarred, for misappropriating information from my personal files and using it to aid and abet a convicted murderer.
What? You made the ultimate mistake.
(BANGS CHAIR) You've lost.
And you are a dead man.
Tearsa (BUZZER) Listen to me.
You haven't lost.
Yes, I have.
You made sure of that.
Are you going todance before your execution, Jesus? Oh! It's an old prison saying.
To the man on his final walk to the chair, the stench of fear chokes him and he panics, struggling in the arms of his captor for one moment of freedom.
Some people say it looks like a dance, the last dance before death.
A little manic, don't you think? Would you like to make a confession, Jesus? Would you like to make a confession? I don't have anything to confess.
God has not forsaken you.
I know that.
But you don't believe it.
You're wondering, 'Has my god abandoned me?' I can see it in your eyes, Jesus.
Is that what you're thinking? No.
Sometimes when I pray, I have the feeling that maybe God is too busy to hear the prayers of a priest.
Busy? Because I'm his servant, a soldier who works in his name to make right hat the times have made wrong.
HeHe wouldn't be too busy.
Sometimes the good are the last to be heard.
But you are like the Prodigal Son.
God God is not going to leave me here.
He's calling you home, Jesus.
Look, I haven't done anything wrong.
That's what you don't understand.
I've done everything that has been asked of me.
And I believe that I am not going to die in that chair.
What happens in that room is not important, Jesus.
What's important comes when you leave this world.
(DOOR OPENS) Cleanse your soul, Jesus.
Go with your arms to God.
I have nothing to confess! Don't you understand, I have nothing to confess! Lies! You went back and murdered the priest, didn't you? I don't know You know.
You know you went with me to get my Rosita and all the time you were saying blasphemous things about the priest! After I got Julio, you went back and killed the priest, didn't you? I don't know.
Liar! Mentiras! Jesus! (SOBS) (DOOR OPENS) Time to go, Jesus.
(RAUL SOBS) Tell me the truth, Jesus! You were my friend, Jesus! You were my friend! Don't let them kill me! I need my daughter! Jesus! Tell them the truth! Jesus! Tell them the truth! Jesus! Come on, Jesus.
Your fan club's back.
'I am not here.
I am not standing in this room facing these people.
This is not happening.
I don't smell the scent of death nor feel this terror that was choking me a thousand times more than it did two days ago.
I believe that God or time or whoever is testing my faith has not forgotten me.
I believe I believe Why did I not leap?' I'm not supposed to be here! Al! OK.
OK.
I'm not supposed to be here.
Let it be known that on the 14th day of 1971 in the presence of these witnesses AL: Tell 'em you want to confess.
Tell 'em you want to confess! I wanna confess! I wanna make a confession.
Jesus confesses to the murder of the priest.
IJesus Ortega confess to the premeditated murder of Father Torelli.
But Raul was not there.
You were here to save Raul.
Alone.
I want to admit in front of all of these witnesses that I left Raul Casta after we robbed the poor box Then you went to get your gun.
I went back to get my gun and murdered the priest.
(AUDIENCE MUMBLE) Raul is part of the reason you're here.
The other reason is to take down Theodore Moody! There's one more thing Moody bribed Raul's witness to leave the state of Florida.
I know that the District Attorney bribed a witness to leave the state, a witness whose evidence could have proven that Raul was innocent.
And tell them that Julio Antuna, the morning after the shooting, left to visit his daughter in New York.
And Julio Antuna left Tallahassee the morning after the shooting to visit his daughter in New York.
When he returned He was questioned by the police (REPEATS) .
.
AND by Mr Ripley.
.
.
and by Mr Ripley, a representative of the DA's office.
This is ridiculous.
And then Dr Antuna, who had lost his medical status when he fled Cuba to come to the USA, was given a chance to obtain his medical licence in New York State on the condition that he leave Florida and never return.
Lies! The man is about to be electrocuted.
Tell Tearsa to call him in New York! Tearsa, call Dr Julio Antuna in New York! Wait.
No, he changed his name.
It's no Dr Manuel Vasquez.
Ask for Dr Manuel Vasquez.
He changed his name.
(PHONE CONVERSATION IN SPANISH) .
.
Theodore Moody.
Muchas gracias.
What did he say? What did he say? OK.
He says he was given the opportunity to be a doctor by Theodore Moody and all he had to do was give a statement to the DA's office to prove Raul Casta's innocence, which he's willing to do again, and you can quote me on that.
(CLAMOUR) I have nothing to say Raul gets released and he's living with his daughter in Florida.
Ripley and Moody's reputation goes down the toilet with the bullet.
And Tearsa reopens the four remaining cases on death row and gets two overturned for lack of evidence.
She turns out to be a hell of a good What are you doing? Time to go home, eh, Al? You better leap! What are you doing? I hope Al is the name of your guardian angel.
No, no.
You gotta leap, Sam! Come on! Leap! Leap! Hey, leap, Sam! Leap now! Come on, leap! Leap! Don't touch that thing! Sam, leap! Leap now! Leap, Sam! Leap! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) What are you doing? Challenge me! Come on! Prepare to die, Russkie! Urrrgh!
He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better.
His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear.
And so Doctor Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leapwill be the leap home.
Wait a minute! There's been some kind of a mistake.
You're the one who made the mistake, Jesus.
No.
Jesus? No.
Just try to think of someplace far away.
What? Let it be known that on the 12th day of May 1971 in the presence of these witnesses, that Jesus Ortega was condemned by the State of Florida to death by electrocution Oh, God! (GUARD DOG BARKS) .
.
for the murder of Father Vincent Torelli on the ninth day of No, wait a minute! .
.
1971.
It is thereby agreed by all present here (PHONE RINGS) (RINGING CONTINUES) (RINGING CONTINUES) The Warden.
Yes, sir.
You were just granted a 48-hour stay of execution by the Governor, and so was Raul Casta.
(CLAMOUR) We need some information! Please! We need to know what's going on! This is why the state of Florida needs a new governor, one who is not afraid to bring a convicted murderer to justice.
Why did the Governor grant a stay? Because he hasn't got the guts to stand up to the liberal, bleeding-heart pressure group.
Are you saying that if you're elected Governor, you could? You're damn right I could! You think he will stay the executions of the other five? Not if I've got anything to say! Listen, I will not allow murderers, rapists and convicted criminals to go free.
And you can quote me on that! (CLAMOUR) Moody's gonna fry whoever pulled this off for you .
.
in the same chair! (LAUGHS) Ignore him.
You're alive, at least for the next 48 hours.
How the hell did you do it, man? We're gonna call you Lazarus, man! Lazarus! (LAUGHS) You did it! We still have a chance.
You're home.
Forget where you lived? Or did Wohorski let a little current ooze through? Are you OK, Ortega? Ortega? I said, are you OK? He's terrific! For somebody who just got his chain ripped off the Grim Reaper's door.
Ain't that right, Ortega? Sorry about the boxes, but you weren't expected back.
I wouldn't work too hard on unpacking.
Two days go by real fast.
(TURNS KEY IN LOCK) Real fast.
They listened! (LAUGHS) They listened! Y-Y-You said that they'd listen to their own laws.
You were right.
INMATE: Somebody shut him up! You were right! (SOBBING) All the time All the books.
You did it! Mi amigo! He wrote an appeal? What the hell kind of an appeal could an illiterate Cuban write? All I get is that Ortega's appeal has 'em digging through the files for some kind of evidence that he says was omitted from his trial.
What kind of evidence? We don't know, sir.
Come on, Rip.
Come on, come on! Where the hell's Tearsa.
She knows all about this case.
She's out at the prison doing some paperwork.
What was the appeal based on? Maybe that it only took us six days to get him convicted.
Herb, you don't get punished for not wasting the taxpayers' money.
Bowman's only doing this to get the bleeding-heart vote.
They're all liberals in this state.
Not as many as there are conservative! Come on! What the hellwas in that damn appeal? We don't know.
What could it have been? Something that Bowman felt strong enough to issue a stay on.
Look, Ortega has just spent the past going through a stack of old law books.
All that he could come up with possibly is a technicality and that is all! The priest identified Ortega and Casta on his death bed.
Two other witnesses put him at the crime scene.
What can he have? That's what you were meant to find out! Come on! Ortega got a stay! If he gets a mistrial, Bowman will get the liberal vote, I will be tied up in court during election.
he will have me where he wants me! Look, look, if we did it by the books, which we did, there's no problem.
We did it by the books, didn't we? We have nothing to worry about.
You two have nothing to worry about.
I have $80,000 sunk into a gubernatorial campaign.
I intend to win! I'm going back to the Governor's office.
I'm gonna get a copy of the damn appeal and find out what that technicality is.
We're gonna have those two fried long before election day, I guarantee it.
You'd better.
You'd better.
Are you writing the great American novel? Where the hell have you been? I almost died in the electric chair.
Sam, it's not always so easy to find you - What? I was in the chair! Where were you? It's not like you're lost in a mall.
You're lost in time! I got here as soon as I could.
I'm sorry.
Did you find anything out about Jesus? Well, he's out cold in the waiting room.
We can't revive him.
Dr Beeks thinks that Jesus thinks that he's already dead.
So he's slipped into a kind of comatose coma.
Well, tell Beeks to bring him round! You can't just dump a bucket of water on his head and say, 'Hey, get up! You're not dead! You're just 25 years in the future.
' These things take time, Sam.
We don't have a lot of time, Al.
OK, let me justget this thing in the right mode.
According to Ziggy, you die on the That'sThat's in two days.
I got that, Al! Why? Why? Why? Well, probably because you can't live with 2,000 volts running through your body.
Why was Jesus executed? You and Raul were convicted for robbery and murder.
According to Ziggy, they admitted robbing the church, but the deny killing the priest.
So you're probably here because they're innocent.
But they got three eyewitnesses, Al, including the dying priest, who put us both at the church.
Plus tests would show the gun they found in Jesus' apartment matches the gun used on the priest! What if they're telling the truth? What if they did rob the church but did not kill the priest? Ziggy says there's an 83 percent probability of So we figure out who murdered the priest and saved my life.
Jesus's life.
No, my life! I was the one in that chair and I'm the one who's gonna be in it unless I figure out what Jesus couldn't.
What you doing? Rehearsing your press release? There's a counsellor here to see you, Ortega.
Bingo! A lawyer! I'm sorry, Ortega.
Rules are rules.
Good luck, amigo.
Good luck.
Jesus, where you going, man? Oh! Look at this, Sam! If I had an attorney like that when I was in court, I'd still be in court! We did it! We did it! Oh, Jesus! We have a chance! We've got a chance to stop Moody from killing you and Raul.
Theodore Moody, the district attorney.
The guy who was busting a gut this morning.
Yeah.
If he ever found out I was helping you, that'd be the end of little Tearsa Lorrea, so fast it would make your head spin.
Tearsa Margareta Lorrea, aged 28 and single! Maybe you shouldn't be here, then.
I'm being careful.
No, she isn't, Sam.
If Moody finds out, I'll tell him I'm pumping you for information.
Moody doesn't buy that.
In fact he was disbarred in '72 for immoral conduct.
I can't be worried about this now, about me.
Not when we're this close to proving you and Raul are innocent! Here! She doesn't prove anything.
She ends up dong life as a social worker in a Florida unemployment office and you - I mean, Jesus - and Raul .
.
still burn in the chair.
This is exactly what we've been working for.
When Bowman saw Moody's ballistics tests were inconclusive, he called for an examination of all the evidence! It's just a matter of time before he sees that you and Raul are innocent! Raul Casta, a widower, father of one.
(LAUGHS) All right, you're not innocent, you committed a robbery, but you didn't murder a priest.
Jesus, remember I told you that every barrel of a gun leaves a unique mark on the bullet? Come.
Moody says that the bullet they took from Father Torelli matches the ones from your gun.
According to this test, they didn't! They lied? So then Moody lied! He presented the test as if it were conclusive and your attorney didn't contest it.
Do you know what this means? What? That Moody's evidence was inconclusive.
She's got a point there.
They can't fry somebody on that.
He based your whole case on these ballistics tests.
AndAnd the witnesses that placed you and Raul at the robbery, not the murder.
And they got away with it? Almost, almost.
But he disregarded the Sixth Amendment, he did not corroborate your DD-5, he intimidated your court-appointed attorney I've watched this guy manipulate the law to become everything I've ever hated about lawyers.
Hold on a second, Sam.
If she's working for this Moody, what's she doing here helping you? Why are you helping me? Your letters.
They made me aware that I was allowing Moody to kill my people, who were ignorant of the laws.
You reminded me when my parents ran away from Cuba.
Yeah, but if Moody finds out what you're doing here, he's gonna fire you.
I still have to live with myself.
I'm not like Moody! I never knew there were lawyers with morals.
It's a pity that Moody breaks her.
Jesus, you and Raul are innocent.
We are going to prove it.
OK.
Sam, I am gonna go check see how Ziggy's coming with that interface.
Maybe I can find something.
Sam, I like her.
What? You're different again.
I'm different? Yeah.
The first time I met you in court, you were very arrogant and angry and accused me of being a traitor to our people.
I'm sorry about that.
I - It's all right.
When the trial ended, you changed.
Sitting on death row has an effect.
Well, your letters changed.
And when you wrote that appeal, I changed, Jesus.
I believed in something again.
We have a lot of work to do.
Listen, go back through everything, make sure we didn't miss anything.
And tell Raul we've got a chance.
We've got a good chance! I'm ready.
Tearsa Be careful.
(DOOR SHUTS) Jesus's research had taken him into every case that was overturned on a technicality.
On the one hand, it felt strange to be doing exactly what Tearsa had accused Moody of - manipulating the fine points of the law.
On the other, the thought of being strapped into that chair again (DOOR OPENS) Jesus? What did she say? She says we have to go over the whole thing all over again, OK? In case we missed anything, we should go over everything again.
Why? Because I wanna see it like Moody would see it.
My erRosita was sick.
The fever was so high that I knew she was gonna die.
It was crazy.
No wife, a sick kid.
I went over to your apartment about seven to ask for money.
We erwe talked for a long time and then we decided to go to church.
We said that after all the money we gave in collections, maybe for once the Madonna could give it back us.
But the Madonna, she did not help.
What about the priest? The priest? He was sorry.
He said he was sorry my nino was sick, but there was no money for medicine.
What about the money for the poor? He said we were gonna use the money for rum.
Then what happened? I went crazy! I told him his vestments were a lie and that he was not a man of God, because God would help a sick child! Then thethe sisters heard my scream and they came out .
.
and you pulled me back to the chapel.
You said Torelli was no padre, that this wasn't a house of God.
And with your bare hands, you broke the lock on the poor box and we took the money.
(TEARFUL LAUGH) Six dollars.
(CRIES) We're gonna die for six dollars.
(CRIES) Raul, we're not gonna die.
What time did we leave the church? About a quarter to eight.
I remember because I knew we had enough time to get to the pharmacy, to get to Julio.
Julio Antuna.
Yeah.
He was a doctor in Cuba.
He couldn't get his licence when he came over, so he swept the floors in the pharmacy.
He stole the medicine for my Rosita when he saw I didn't have enough money.
That'sThat's why I thought maybe he didn't come to the trial.
I swear to you, Jesus, I was with them when the priest got murdered, me and Rosita, man.
(SPEAKS SPANISH) Guard! Guard! Hey! What is your problem, Ortega? I need to make a phone call.
It's after hours.
You know the rules.
I don't have hours.
I'm gonna be dead in less than 32.
I'll get busted.
Please.
Please.
This makes no sense.
'What doesn't?' Julio Antuna moved out of the area two days after the murder.
Something is not right.
Raul thinks that it's because Julio stole medicine for Raul's daughter.
According to the police records, two officers went to see him right after Father Torelli died.
But the report they filed is missing.
The next day, Mr Antuna disappeared.
She found out more than we did! Julio Antuna never registered in the United States.
We searched the whole country and he never went as Julio Antuna.
This is crazy.
The ballistics test was inconclusive.
There was a discrepancy between the time witnesses put Raul and I at the church, plus the only friendly witness vanished 48 hours after the crime! We can get him, Jesus.
Look, I better get out of here.
Why, where are you? In Moody's office.
Moody's office? Get out of there! Go, Al! I'm on it.
He took all the files and put them in his office.
Uh-oh.
Er, tell her to look out the window, Sam! Listen, Moody's coming.
Look out the window! What have you got? An angel on retainer? Just get out! He called me for a meeting.
As long as I'm not on the phone with you.
Look, I'll get word to you, as soon as I hear from Bowman.
Tearsa! (DOOR OPENS) This is a happy group.
What did you find out? I found out that someone from this office has been working with Ortega.
Stay cool.
He doesn't know it's you yet.
Whoever it is, he's given the Governor enough information to force a stay of execution, maybe even overturn the conviction.
Bowman has subpoenaed our records.
And he's talking seriously about re-opening the trial.
Good! How did he find out? Come on! He's not gonna say who the Judas is! Careful.
Maybe it's not someone in the office.
Maybe it's someone - It's internal.
They know too much.
But not everything.
That sounds like the lawyers I know.
I want everyone in this office checked.
Everyone! I want personal call lists.
Schedules.
Meetings.
Over the past eight months.
Go back to the trial if you have to.
Do whatever it takes.
I wouldn't worry about Ortega and Casta.
I'm not, Herb.
If the can't introduce any new evidence, they'll reschedule the execution for tomorrow and it'll be over.
But hear me, people, I want this Judas.
Now do it! He's gonna break you into a million pieces and walk away with the Governorship and let two innocent men die.
I just hope Sam Beckett's not one of them.
They've rescheduled the execution for tomorrow morning.
Is there a time? we're missing.
She's checked out everything, Sam.
I've hired an investigative team to find Julio.
With her own money.
But I need more time.
We need a stay from the Governor.
What about Bowman? He's not gonna push for an extension unless we find some real hard evidence.
What's a through-and-through? That's a police term to describe a shooting.
It's when a bullet completely passes through the body cavity and comes out the other side.
According to the coroner's report, Father Torelli was killed by multiple gunshot wounds, one of which they found lodged in the sternum and another one which passed through the lung, ripping through the left ventricle before it left the body.
So where's the second bullet? Yeah.
So what happened to the second bullet? We never found it.
Forensics searched for two days.
Maybe modern technology has a way of finding it now.
Nice shot.
They searched all the walls, the heating grates, the curtains.
They even pulled down statues.
if I can get Ziggy to modify the sensors on the handling, they can work it as a kind of metal detector.
I need you to check again.
It has been almost two years, OK? If I can centre on her brainwaves, that'll give Ziggy a clear sensory base to pull from, but I gotta have her ideas.
If we can find that bullet in one piece, we can prove that it wasn't my gun that killed the priest! Get her there! Do you understand what I'm saying? Yes, but that bullet can't still be in that church! What else do we have? I dunno, but we can spend time - What? We can't find Julio.
You can't alter the statements of a dead priest or the witnesses.
The bullet is our only hope! OK.
OK! All right.
What do you want me to do? Just look? Um No.
No, no.
You gotta do more.
I think you have to re-enact the shooting.
This is crazy! No, it's not! I came across some transcripts from the court files.
There was this testimony from this expert witness, this Dr Michaels guy.
He gave his report based on where the body was found.
Based on Torelli's physical position at the time of the shooting, you could pinpoint exactly where the bullet came out! OK.
Listen.
We've done that.
Do it again, then! It's all right here! OK, OK All right.
I'll do it.
It's right here, see? Wait.
You gotta have this! OK? All right.
I'll call you.
OK.
OK (BELL TOLLS) Oh, good.
Thank God you're still here, Tearsa.
All right Had a heck of a time converting this handling, but Ziggy says it's gonna work to do this detecting, but What, are you gonna let me do this all alone? That's OK.
We know that the priest was killed up here by the altar, so that's where I'll start.
Turn this on This is gonna work.
Just show it a little lead and I'll show you a bullet.
This is useless.
I've gotta do something! Anything! Well, you can pray that we'll find the bullet! Could help.
Hey, hey, don't move! You didn't hear me, did you? No.
OK Nothing Nothing over there Nothing over there.
(BLEEPING) Ah! Ah, there's something there! There's something over here! (BLEEPING INTENSIFIES) (HIGH-PITCHED SIGNAL) Uh-huh That's it! We've found it! I know it's been a long time since I've knelt before you, and I know that it's sad that I haven't seen your light Light! Oh, can you see the light? Please.
Show me the answer.
It's right there in the wall! Show me a way to help these men.
I'm trying! I know that they've done wrong, but it was for the good of a child! A child! I beg you to be merciful! I could use some help here! CHILD: Are you an angel? No, I'm not.
I wish I were! Not you.
Him! Can you see me? Yes.
Course you can, because you're an innocent child and Wait! She can't see you.
That's right.
She can't.
But would you like to help the angel? Come on, come on.
We've gotta talk to this lady.
All the angel needs is for you to go and tell that lady to stop.
Run, run! The angel said to stop! What? I'm sorry.
I told you never to speak to strangers.
No, no, no.
The angel wants me to tell her.
Enough.
I'm sorry.
Say her name.
It's Tearsa.
Tearsa! Just say, 'The bullet!' The bullet! Wait.
Senora, please.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what's wrong with her.
She never acts like this.
Listen to me closely.
Tell her it's behind the frame.
It's behind the frame.
The bullet.
The bullet.
She's seen too much TV.
Senora, wait.
I was praying to the Madonna to help me find the bullet.
I think she's letting me know through this child's words.
A miracle? I think so.
Is the angel still here? Oh, yeah.
Can he tell you where the bullet is? The lower left-hand corner.
The lower left-hand corner.
The picture of the Madonna.
The picture of the Madonna.
Thank you! Thanks, honey.
You've got an angel that owes you one.
Es un milagro! (BELLS RING) You're out of here, son.
You're out of here! Ha ha ha! You found the bullet? Yes! It was right there in the wall.
Do you wanna know why they couldn't find it? Do you know? No.
Let me The bullet went right through the priest, into the wall, and when it did, it hit right on the corner of this picture frame that moved the frame a little bit, and then gravity swung it back over the hole.
So when the police looked at it, they looked for a bullet hole, but they never checked behind it.
Well, that's great.
Now we just wait for Tearsa to take the bullet to Ballistics, they check it against Jesus's gun, it doesn't match, so that proves that you and Raul are innocent, and whoopy-dong, you're history! And then Moody is forced to reopen the case.
Absolute-a-roony! So why am I still here? If Tearsa found the bullet and it's OK, shouldn't I be leaving about now? You got a point.
Maybe it's because I'm being given a chance to say goodbye to Tearsa, something like that? Beep beep beep Right? What? Well, um What? Erm It's just that the ballistic report says that the bullet Tearsa found came from Jesus's gun and proves conclusively that you murdered Father Torelli and you're guilty, Sam.
And Ziggy says you're gonna die in the chair in three hours and 17 minutes.
You lied to me! Look at me! You look at me! I'm sorry.
Sorry? For what? For using me? Letting me think that you were innocent when you murdered a priest? I believe Jesus Ortega was innocent! No matter what crime he committed, I'm here because something isn't right.
What are you on about? I don't belong here.
I'm not the man who killed that priest.
Oh, no (!) I'm not the man who wrote you those letters or wrote that brief.
I'm not that man! Then who are you? If I told you, if I tried to explain, you would never believe me.
No.
You try and explain it to me! Explain to me what you were doing when you were preaching to me about my dignity, about my responsibility to all those Cubans that were repressed by the American system! You used me! I never used you! I never lied to you! I never lied to you! (BUZZER) Well Well, well It's so nice to catch the two of you together Let it go, Theo.
It's over.
Over? For him it's over.
For you, it's just beginning.
For you I have a special punishment to fit your disloyalty.
It's hard to be loyal to the devil.
Whatever happened to how much you admired me? How much you hoped your career would mirror mine? I didn't know you then, and what you were capable of.
Convicting murderers.
I thought they were innocent! They weren't.
You have to pay for that, Tearsa.
You don't have to destroy her.
She's a traitor.
Because of her, you have your conclusive evidence and Raul and I will be dead in an hour.
Isn't that enough? No.
What is it with you? You won't be happy till everyone here is dead? Your impending death has made you a very brave man.
I don't wanna see Tearsa's life ruined.
You won't.
You'll be dead.
You are so cruel.
I'm cruel? What about you? I trusted you! I gave you my confidence.
I taught you the jewels of law and you betrayed me.
How many people have YOU betrayed? You put the five men on death watch by pushing their cases through court.
Five convicted criminals.
Who might be innocent! You weren't - Guilty.
Innocent.
This is not about guilt or innocence.
You're using their bodies to get to the Governor's mansion! Whatever it takes.
Well, I'm gonna make sure everybody knows what you are! I don't think so.
I think that you will slither away with your tail between your legs because I'm having you disbarred, for misappropriating information from my personal files and using it to aid and abet a convicted murderer.
What? You made the ultimate mistake.
(BANGS CHAIR) You've lost.
And you are a dead man.
Tearsa (BUZZER) Listen to me.
You haven't lost.
Yes, I have.
You made sure of that.
Are you going todance before your execution, Jesus? Oh! It's an old prison saying.
To the man on his final walk to the chair, the stench of fear chokes him and he panics, struggling in the arms of his captor for one moment of freedom.
Some people say it looks like a dance, the last dance before death.
A little manic, don't you think? Would you like to make a confession, Jesus? Would you like to make a confession? I don't have anything to confess.
God has not forsaken you.
I know that.
But you don't believe it.
You're wondering, 'Has my god abandoned me?' I can see it in your eyes, Jesus.
Is that what you're thinking? No.
Sometimes when I pray, I have the feeling that maybe God is too busy to hear the prayers of a priest.
Busy? Because I'm his servant, a soldier who works in his name to make right hat the times have made wrong.
HeHe wouldn't be too busy.
Sometimes the good are the last to be heard.
But you are like the Prodigal Son.
God God is not going to leave me here.
He's calling you home, Jesus.
Look, I haven't done anything wrong.
That's what you don't understand.
I've done everything that has been asked of me.
And I believe that I am not going to die in that chair.
What happens in that room is not important, Jesus.
What's important comes when you leave this world.
(DOOR OPENS) Cleanse your soul, Jesus.
Go with your arms to God.
I have nothing to confess! Don't you understand, I have nothing to confess! Lies! You went back and murdered the priest, didn't you? I don't know You know.
You know you went with me to get my Rosita and all the time you were saying blasphemous things about the priest! After I got Julio, you went back and killed the priest, didn't you? I don't know.
Liar! Mentiras! Jesus! (SOBS) (DOOR OPENS) Time to go, Jesus.
(RAUL SOBS) Tell me the truth, Jesus! You were my friend, Jesus! You were my friend! Don't let them kill me! I need my daughter! Jesus! Tell them the truth! Jesus! Tell them the truth! Jesus! Come on, Jesus.
Your fan club's back.
'I am not here.
I am not standing in this room facing these people.
This is not happening.
I don't smell the scent of death nor feel this terror that was choking me a thousand times more than it did two days ago.
I believe that God or time or whoever is testing my faith has not forgotten me.
I believe I believe Why did I not leap?' I'm not supposed to be here! Al! OK.
OK.
I'm not supposed to be here.
Let it be known that on the 14th day of 1971 in the presence of these witnesses AL: Tell 'em you want to confess.
Tell 'em you want to confess! I wanna confess! I wanna make a confession.
Jesus confesses to the murder of the priest.
IJesus Ortega confess to the premeditated murder of Father Torelli.
But Raul was not there.
You were here to save Raul.
Alone.
I want to admit in front of all of these witnesses that I left Raul Casta after we robbed the poor box Then you went to get your gun.
I went back to get my gun and murdered the priest.
(AUDIENCE MUMBLE) Raul is part of the reason you're here.
The other reason is to take down Theodore Moody! There's one more thing Moody bribed Raul's witness to leave the state of Florida.
I know that the District Attorney bribed a witness to leave the state, a witness whose evidence could have proven that Raul was innocent.
And tell them that Julio Antuna, the morning after the shooting, left to visit his daughter in New York.
And Julio Antuna left Tallahassee the morning after the shooting to visit his daughter in New York.
When he returned He was questioned by the police (REPEATS) .
.
AND by Mr Ripley.
.
.
and by Mr Ripley, a representative of the DA's office.
This is ridiculous.
And then Dr Antuna, who had lost his medical status when he fled Cuba to come to the USA, was given a chance to obtain his medical licence in New York State on the condition that he leave Florida and never return.
Lies! The man is about to be electrocuted.
Tell Tearsa to call him in New York! Tearsa, call Dr Julio Antuna in New York! Wait.
No, he changed his name.
It's no Dr Manuel Vasquez.
Ask for Dr Manuel Vasquez.
He changed his name.
(PHONE CONVERSATION IN SPANISH) .
.
Theodore Moody.
Muchas gracias.
What did he say? What did he say? OK.
He says he was given the opportunity to be a doctor by Theodore Moody and all he had to do was give a statement to the DA's office to prove Raul Casta's innocence, which he's willing to do again, and you can quote me on that.
(CLAMOUR) I have nothing to say Raul gets released and he's living with his daughter in Florida.
Ripley and Moody's reputation goes down the toilet with the bullet.
And Tearsa reopens the four remaining cases on death row and gets two overturned for lack of evidence.
She turns out to be a hell of a good What are you doing? Time to go home, eh, Al? You better leap! What are you doing? I hope Al is the name of your guardian angel.
No, no.
You gotta leap, Sam! Come on! Leap! Leap! Hey, leap, Sam! Leap now! Come on, leap! Leap! Don't touch that thing! Sam, leap! Leap now! Leap, Sam! Leap! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) What are you doing? Challenge me! Come on! Prepare to die, Russkie! Urrrgh!
