There was a time I barely remember now
before all of... this.
I have to remind myself what it was like then.
A time when I had a mother I trusted, a sister I adored,
a life that was familiar, safe.
And then time travel happened and history changed.
You're Connor Mason. Mr. Mason invented
a time machine and chose not to tell the government about it
until it was stolen by terrorists.
Garcia Flynn, ex-NSA asset in Eastern Europe.
If Flynn kills people who aren't supposed to die,
history changes.
Our earliest prototype.
We call this one the Lifeboat.
There's room in there for three passengers.
To do what? Go after him?
Lucy Preston. History, anthropology.
You're world-class. Master Sergeant Wyatt Logan.
- Delta Force. - Rufus.
I'm a pilot. You might want to hold on.
I thought history was something worth protecting.
Worth dying for even, no matter what.
Where's Amy? Amy who?
Since we got back from 1937,
my sister's gone.
Erased from history.
I didn't know you were married.
- Jessica died. - You were out
with Jessica in San Diego.
She ran into an old boyfriend
at the bar, and you had a major fight.
She told you to stop the car. She got out,
never came home that night.
They found her strangled in the bushes.
You want this telegram delivered
50 years from now?
Jessica, on Saturday, February 11, 2012,
go home with Wyatt
- even if he's being an ass. - I understand.
I would do anything to get my sister back.
We can change history.
And somehow we can save the people we love.
Jessica's alive.
You had been murdered. In your reality.
Is there something you're not telling me? I'm pregnant.
I thought I knew who the enemy was, but I was wrong.
Stay the hell away from her.
Oh, you mean Lucy? You know she's not your wife, right?
I know everything about you.
- You want to know how I know? - I didn't write that.
But you will. Ask them why
they really chose you for this mission.
It was Rittenhouse.
Rittenhouse isn't a "him," it's a "they."
Rittenhouse changed history and brought Jessica back.
An organization that wanted to control the past,
present and future. And worse, my family was part of it.
Well, I've got news for you, my dear.
You're a part of it, too.
We will change history. My name is Emma Whitmore.
I've always been loyal to Rittenhouse.
Some of us aren't royalty, princess.
Some of us had to work our way up.
I thought I'd lost everything,
so all that was left to do was to fight.
Not for the past anymore, but for our future.
Everyone's future. Fight for each other.
It wasn't enough, though.
Rufus? Rufus!
And we lost the only thing we had left. Hope.
But this can't be the end of our story.
We've come too far, we've sacrificed too much.
There has to be a way to get back what we lost.
To make things right and save the people we love,
no matter what.
But it's all up to you now. You have to change history.
Well, what are you waiting on?
You guys want to get Rufus back, or what?
That's...
Us.
It's not possible.
Well, actually, it is.
Where are you from?
When are you from?
- 2023. - How are you even here?
In your own timelines... The side effects...
We're not immune to the effects. We don't have much time.
- I know. - Why would you
endanger yourselves like this?
We didn't have much of a choice.
We can't stop Rittenhouse without Rufus.
Rittenhouse still exists? In 2023?
Wait.
You said we can get Rufus back. How?
Everything you need, it's in there.
Uh, my journal? W-What are we supposed to do with it?
Just figure it out together.
- Together. - Yes, both of you.
What about the baby? There is no baby.
Jessica lied to manipulate me.
Us.
Let's go.
Wait. There's no time, just focus on the journal.
Okay? Start with page...
What's wrong? What's happening? Is she okay?
Or, am I okay? Oh, God.
It's the side effects. We got to go now.
Take our Lifeboat. It's a lot easier to fly. A few upgrades.
You guys can fly ours? We've learned a lot in the last five years.
What's wrong with her?
She'll be fine.
Merry Christmas, by the way.
'Tis the season.
To finish what we started.
Correct mistakes.
Create a better world. But we're doing it my way now.
No more bloodlines or any cult crap.
So if that's why you're here, walk away right now.
For those of you who choose to stay,
all I ask is loyalty.
What's the plan, boss?
You can set up my office.
Big chair, mahogany desk. You can handle that?
Right away. Then, we're gonna do
what St. Nicholas and Carol couldn't.
We're gonna take out Lucy and her damn team once and for all.
What can I do? Mrs. Logan.
I have a job for you.
It's time to pay our last sleeper agent a visit.
I'm so sorry, Wyatt.
How could anyone lie about something like that?
It's Rittenhouse. It's how they get what they want,
and they're so good at it, too, you don't realize it
until it's too late.
My mother was never the woman I thought she was.
Now that she's gone, it still hurts.
Are you okay?
Something tells me Jessica wouldn't have been
the best mother, anyway.
Doesn't matter.
What matters is getting Rufus back.
You want to do the honors?
What is all this?
Our history.
All of our missions. It was, uh, my way
of keeping record of all of it, I guess.
This thing is incredible. It has advanced
reentry stabilization and Tipler Cylinders.
Nice work, Jiya.
I'm guessing you're the one who built it.
I might've made a suggestion or two.
- What are Lucy and Wyatt doing? - Reading the journal,
trying to figure out where we take this new toy.
Okay, well, how long will that take? Let's just go.
I mean, if we can go back to our own timelines then...
Go back to our own timelines? Are you overlooking the fact
that Future Lucy's head nearly exploded?
For all we know, that was their one and only trip before she...
It wasn't the only trip.
She came to see me in Sao Paulo before all of this began.
What are you talking about?
Christmas Eve, 2014,
Lucy showed up and handed me the journal.
The Lucy we just saw? It was Lucy.
She traveled to a same time she existed before. It's possible.
But not without side effects, it isn't,
and headaches are just the beginning.
If you stay too long, even just minutes, there are
nosebleeds, seizures, brain damage,
uh, memory loss, and then...
And then? Well, everybody's tolerance is different, but eventually,
insanity and death.
If Lucy and Wyatt are willing to risk their lives for Rufus,
then so am I. Jiya, no...
Lucy.
I never meant to hurt you.
I just wanted to do the right thing.
I know. I know.
Hollywood, Salem...
...Titanic.
This hasn't happened yet.
You and Flynn.
Um... All right,
I'm gonna let you finish that one.
Hey, you find anything in the journal yet?
We've found some... things,
but nothing about Rufus, though, yet.
Okay, I can look at it maybe then, and I can see...
Hey. They said me and Lucy.
There's got to be a reason. If your future selves are so brilliant,
then why didn't they just tell us what to do?
Sorry, I'm just... No, it's... it's okay.
What's this?
Rufus picked it up in 1981, hid it behind SpaghettiOs
so you wouldn't find it till Christmas, but...
I think he'd want you to have it.
"Merry Christopher. A little pun from '81."
Couldn't help himself, could he?
Yeah.
Original issue packaging?
Rufus always told me there was no puzzle you can't solve.
January 28,
1848, near Sacramento.
Lucy?
That's four days after gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill,
which instigated the gold rush,
which basically made California a-a state.
- So Rittenhouse wants gold? Shocker. - A time travel robbery?
Let them have the gold. Let them have California.
We need to focus on getting Rufus back.
Listen, when the Mothership jumps, we chase it.
That's been protocol since day one.
What is the point of getting Rufus back
if we just let Rittenhouse decimate history?
Are you joking?
Future Lucy said we need Rufus to stop Rittenhouse.
Yes. Rufus trained you to pilot the Lifeboat
for this very reason.
The world needs saving.
It's what Rufus would want.
We need to find and stop their sleeper agent.
Whoa.
Hey. Is your arm okay? It's fine.
You got a little bit of something here.
Makeup can only cover so much.
Whoa.
This thing has autopilot.
What? As in, anyone can fly it?
Apparently. You just plug in the date and location.
I guess Future Me built a DeLorean out of the Lifeboat.
That's a joke Rufus would've made.
I wish he could see this.
He'll see it, Jiya.
I know he will.
You think that's the sleeper?
No, I think that's James Marshall.
Who's James Marshall?
He's the millwright who discovered gold.
He's bringing it here to show his boss, John Sutter.
Speak of the devil.
Looks like history's still on course.
Come on.
I'd like to mine that gold.
Come back, say hi.
Has any woman ever responded positively to that?
Just admiring the view, miss.
Oh. We don't see many women 'round here,
especially pretty ones.
First that redhead and the blonde this morning.
And now these two.
What were these other women here for?
Probably gold.
Rumor has it someone found some up by the mill.
You think she's here to activate a sleeper?
Maybe we should talk to Sutter first.
There's a reason that Emma didn't go straight to the mill.
Guys.
They weren't here for Sutter.
Okay. Now, that's our cue
to steal some horses and catch up with the sleeper
at Sutter's Mill.
We need to change.
Into what?
You're not fooling anyone dressed like that.
General lack of females in the vicinity,
two women on horseback would've been flagged a mile away.
All this time,
you knew what was in the journal.
I told you it can be unreliable.
I mean, with us. Oh, so you finally got to the good part, huh?
Must have been, uh, awkward.
Well? Was it everything you imagined?
You were imagining it, weren't you?
Why didn't you tell me that we were going to be together?
Honestly?
I didn't really believe it.
I'm not exactly your type.
You don't know anything about my type.
Also, I almost killed you a few times, so there's that.
In the future, I must have seen a different side to you.
I guess I've already started to. Oh, then stop.
'Cause if you read the rest of the journal,
that affair we have? It ends badly, because...
...your heart always belonged to someone else.
We have company.
Whoa.
You gringos stole my horses?
It's a lady.
You're Joaquin Murrieta?
Lady seems to know who I am.
Go ahead, tell your friends.
One of the most dangerous bandits in California.
Your half brother was murdered and your wife assaulted
after a dispute over a mule. Then what?
Then you killed the men who did it. Not all of them.
I don't like when people mess with what belongs to me.
Those horses are mine.
Our friend was murdered, too.
We're just looking for the people that did it. Tragic story, I'm sure.
You know they hang people for stealing horses?
Don't worry, I'll save you the pain in the neck...
Really? They, uh,
hang people for stealing stolen horses?
Because each one of these horses
have a different brand on them.
All right, look. We can all start shooting
each other and see who wins,
but then we wouldn't be able to tell you where the gold is.
What do you know about gold?
We know where there's plenty of it.
It's worth a lot more than these horses.
We'll tell you where it is
if you just put down your guns
and let us borrow these horses a little while longer.
It's a deal, for now.
We ride until nightfall.
Vamos.
Hurry up.
Don't fall behind.
Must have been Tornado.
As in Zorro's horse, Tornado?
Zorro was real? Joaquin Murrieta, he was
one of the Mexican outlaws that inspired the legend of Zorro.
Now you tell me. Were you gonna ask for his autograph?
I was a little focused on the fact that he was trying
to kill us. Come on.
Where's Emma?
I'm her lieutenant now.
Come on. Show me the money.
I didn't sleep in the dirt for three years here
to report to some underling.
How about we sort this out with Emma in 2018?
How about you hand the rest over?
Where the hell are you going?
You'll be picked up when we say the time is right.
You can't just leave me here.
Pleasure doing business with you.
Where did you get that gun of yours?
Oh, it's, uh, Prussian.
But it's not very powerful, though.
Well, I understand how that feels.
I don't want your sympathy, gringo.
You can't begin to understand.
My family was murdered, too, by terrible people.
And? And I tried it your way,
with violence, but it didn't solve anything.
It just created
more pain.
But they deserve to be punished.
Oh, they deserve to be punished.
But it won't help your family.
Believe me, I tried.
Over and over.
You will just become as bad as those men.
You have given up your quest for revenge?
For what?
Ah.
I thought the legend of Joaquin's family tragedy
was just some myth from an 1854 dime novel.
I mean, if it's true, he's about to go on a murderous rampage
across the state of California.
Can you blame him?
Wyatt? What is it?
It's Jessica. What?
I keep rereading these pages,
and everything leads to the same place.
Jessica is the reason Rufus is dead.
Rittenhouse brought her back to distract me or spy on us.
I don't really know.
But I played right into their hands
when I brought her into the bunker.
Jiya, she's the one who kidnapped you,
she's the reason we went to Chinatown.
There is a simple equation here.
It has been here all along, I just didn't want to see it.
It's the reason future version of you gave me the journal.
So you're saying...
I'm saying because Jessica lives, Rufus dies.
And to save Rufus,
Jessica has to be taken out of the timeline somehow,
and I'm gonna be the one to do it.
I will make sure that Jessica never steps foot in the bunker.
You mean, go back to your own timeline? No. No way.
It's too dangerous. You could die.
It's the only way to save Rufus.
How does it help us to save Rufus
if it means sacrificing you?
Because Rufus didn't deserve what happened to him.
You didn't deserve what I did to you.
I let everybody down.
But I'm gonna make things right.
Well, you're not doing it alone.
I'm coming with you.
I am, too. We'll get Rufus back together.
Well, it sounds like a noble plan,
but if you all die trying to save Rufus,
who will be left here to save the world from Rittenhouse?
Take half of this and store it.
Use the other half to fetch us some sisters in arms.
What are you doing?
Santa's got one last chimney to shimmy down.
But we don't have any sleepers left.
Going back to 1950 Korea to buy us one.
Need any help? Oh, you just take care of that gold.
I'll take care of the rest.
Wyatt. Where's Flynn?
He rode ahead.
Said he wanted to scout the mill.
What for? He didn't say.
Get some rest.
Whoa.
Ha! Eureka.
So the rumors are true.
Where is your tall friend? I thought he was scouting for us.
That's a good question.
Tell him he can keep the horses.
You are true to your word.
Unlike most americanos I have met.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some mining to do
before your people destroy the land.
- Uh, wait, uh... - Let him go.
We'll find the sleeper agent on our own.
But what if we need backup?
Uh, Wyatt?
Hands up, where we can see them.
You didn't tell us all you were wanted.
Lock them up. It's payday.
I told you, there's nothing to celebrate
until we have Rufus back.
I'm tired of making scarves.
I need something to occupy myself while I try
to get my head around the fact that five years from now,
we're apparently still chasing Rittenhouse.
Yes, that's because we're going about this the wrong way.
We need to save Rufus to stop Rittenhouse.
Not the other way around.
I didn't want to send the team on this mission.
If you want to blame somebody, you should look in the mirror,
because you're the one who created the damn time machine
for them in the first place.
You think I don't spend every day wishing I could
take it all back?
I'm sorry, Connor.
We have to destroy them.
You know that, right?
The Mothership and the Lifeboat.
We have to destroy them.
Can it be done?
Yeah, of course we can do it, but...
Oppenheimer. After Hiroshima,
he realized the terrible mistake he'd made.
The "destroyer of worlds," he called himself.
And everyone agreed: nuclear weapons, terrible idea.
Six months later, the Soviets had one.
The technology already exists, Denise.
So some new Connor Mason
or Rufus Carlin will one day create
their own time machine.
And we'll be without a vessel to stop them.
What then?
They sent you to protect her, too?
Who, Rittenhouse? Yeah.
No.
You started this, you know.
Of course. It's always my fault.
Couldn't possibly have been the drunk jerk picking bar fights.
Please, Jess, he wanted that fight.
You wanted that fight.
Yeah, that's right. Just keep defending your boyfriend,
why don't you? Oh, my God.
We were on a break,
and it was the best six months of my life, by the way.
All right.
Who was that? Is that him?
Let me see the phone. Give me the phone! No.
Stop it!
You know what? Pull over.
Pull... What are you... We're in the middle of nowhere.
I said pull over! What are you talking about?
What are you doing?
Getting the hell away from you.
Jessica, come on, get back in the damn...
Fine, you want to walk? Walk.
- Get in the car. - No. Drive away.
Get back in the damn car, will you?
I'll walk!
Come on. I'm sorry, all right?
Just get back in. Leave me alone
before I call the cops and get you busted for a DUI.
Fine. Fine.
Who the hell are you?
Never thought I'd say this, but we could really use
our "tall friend" right about now. Yeah, where is he?
And Joaquin? Mmm. Probably halfway
to Sonora with a pound of gold.
What ends up happening to him?
He gets killed in a shootout in 1853 by California Rangers.
Mmm. It was never proven it was him.
- Historians disagree. - Oh, it was him.
I saw his pickled head in a jar in Chinatown in 1888.
Well, let's just find a way out of here
before our heads get pickled.
Wait. What is that?
Sounds like Flynn
- is really Flynning it up out there. - Flynn!
Flynn, it's us! We're in here! Help us!
Yeah, it's about time!
Merry Christmas, you filthy animals.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, we saved you.
Uh, I'm pretty sure I'm the one that did the saving.
Oh. Um...
Let me at him.
Um... Geez, leave you alone
for one second... Mmm.
I think I'm gonna have to let you get captured more often.
Rufus... you were dead.
I... was... what?
You died in San Francisco.
1888. Emma shot you. When was I in 1888?
It doesn't matter, okay? You're alive now.
Yeah, very much so. What?
How is that possible? Flynn did it.
This mean I'm gonna have to hug him, too?
Rufus! Did you find your friends?
I need a hand over here!
BRB. Got to go help Zorro.
It's him.
Flynn must have taken the Lifeboat and...
Taken Jessica out of the timeline.
Rufus didn't die? He went with us on this trip?
He's-he's been here all along?
And Jessica is... gone.
I guess this is why you end up with Flynn.
I don't.
I...
I don't end up with him.
Let's go, you two.
Guys, come on.
You caught the sleeper? Well,
it's not exactly my first rodeo.
But Joaquin here snagged those jerks.
Turns out the real Zorro is much cooler than Antonio Banderas.
Who needs a mask, anyway? Take your share,
or I'll be tempted to spend it all in one game of monte.
Where we're going, we don't need gold.
But may we borrow your horses one last time?
Take them. I can buy all the horses I want.
Maybe even mustangs.
I can't wait to show my wife.
Thank you. Thank you.
No problem.
Lucy.
What's wrong?
It's Flynn. He...
He wrote me a note.
My dear Lucy, if you're reading this,
I guess I didn't make it back.
Well, maybe that's for the best, when you think
about what I've done in the past.
To the team. To you.
We both wanted to stop Rittenhouse, but somehow
you didn't let it destroy you the way I did.
So if anyone's expendable on this team, it's me.
Tell Rufus he can thank me later.
I have to admit, I don't hate the guy.
I regret the pain I caused you, Lucy.
And maybe by doing this,
I can find a small way to make things right,
so you can have the future you deserve.
I know with time, you'll forgive Wyatt,
because you love him.
And deep down, you know he was just trying
to do the right thing.
I hope you get everything you want in life.
I hope you can be happy.
And one day, I hope you get to have
a family of your own.
And I hope
you get your sister back.
There are some things in the journal,
I never could figure them out.
But it's led us this far.
One good thing in my life,
the one thing that I couldn't hate after I lost my family.
Never give up trying to save the world from Rittenhouse,
and then maybe you can save the ones you love.
Well,
guess I'll see you Christmas Eve, 2014.
You know the place.
All my love...
Flynn.
So after dispatching Jessica,
Flynn sent the Lifeboat back
to you in 1848 but stayed in 2012.
The, um... time travel side effects
- must have been too severe. - Or maybe he wanted
to go back and see his family one more time.
Either way, he's stuck in 2012.
Was. It took some searching,
but the body of a John Doe was found in the dunes by the ocean.
So Flynn died,
and you gave up Jessica for me?
I'd like to propose a toast
to Flynn.
He had our backs.
Sacrificed his life so that we could defeat Rittenhouse together.
Let's not let him down.
We owe him that.
To Garcia.
Jessica?
Hello?
Jessica?
Where the hell is Jessica?
You mean Jan?
No, I don't mean Jan.
Tell me where Jessica is.
Who is Jessica?
Jessica Logan.
Wyatt's wife.
I don't know who that is.
They must have changed something.
Eliminated her from the timeline.
Changed history. That's our job.
What do you think they... Get the Mothership ready.
What for?
Hell.
Lieutenant Langford? Husband to Charlotte,
father of Margaret, age six?
Who are you? I represent
a special kind of insurance.
Sorry, lady. Marines cover everything I need.
Sure about that? Because I can make sure
that your family is very well provided for.
Your daughter would get the very best medical attention,
and she's gonna need it.
How do you know about Margaret?
Her polio?
I just know.
And I'd like to help.
All I ask in return is one small
big... favor.
Joaquin Murrieta never became a notorious killer
after striking rich at Sutter's Mill.
He and his wife moved to California and started a family
and a successful horse ranch.
Kind of killed Zorro in the crib.
Where'd you find that?
That was supposed to be your Christmas present.
I'm sorry. You were... Dead.
Yeah. Yeah. Look at you,
eating Rubik's Cubes for breakfast and upgrading
the Lifeboat to DeLorean status. Yeah, but I didn't do it.
Future Me did it. Oh, well, Future You
sounds awesome. Mmm. Mmm?
And really smart.
Mmm-hmm.
And I can't wait to sleep with her, too.
What?
I'm pretty sure you're not Harry Potter,
so what's with the scar?
Uh...
Chinatown.
From what at Chinatown?
You don't remember it, but I-I lived there
for three years in the 1880s, Rufus.
And it sucked being a woman in that place.
Someone did that to you?
I got away from him. Eventually.
Jiya, what happened? I don't want to talk about it.
Jiya, you can talk to me about anything. No. I'm tired.
I'm tired. I just, I want to go to sleep.
Agent Christopher said that this is, uh...
Our room.
Yeah. I guess with,
uh, Jessica gone, we were...
Together.
Yeah.
But I'm gonna sleep on the couch, so...
No, you don't have to do that.
I mean, are you sure? 'Cause I don't mind.
Come on, Wyatt, it's fine. There are... two beds.
Yeah.
It was
really nice what you
said about Flynn. Yeah, well, I meant it.
I know you did.
You know, he lied to me about the name of Jessica's killer.
'Cause when you think about it, it was him all along.
I spent all this time trying to find the person
that ruined my life. I never even considered the fact
that he was actually trying to save it.
Flynn told me something else in his letter,
about Amy. What's that?
He said there might be a way that I could get Amy back,
but I can't figure it out. Besides, Emma already said that
there was no way I was ever
going to get my sister back again, so...
If there's a way to get her back,
we're gonna do it, Lucy. Not with Rittenhouse
still out there.
You heard what Flynn said. We have to stop them,
because if we don't, then...
We become those people that paid us a visit.
I don't want that.
I don't want that for us.
We-we didn't look...
Happy?
Yeah. Yeah.
I noticed that, too.
I don't want to live in a world
where we're not just Lucy and Wyatt.
But after everything that's happened,
how can we un-know what we know?
Mothership jumped
to December 24, 1950, in...
Oh, dear... North Korea.
Well, that's the last day of the Hungnam evacuations
in the Korean War.
It's just after the Battle of Chosin.
"Frozen Chosin," my grandpa called it.
Said it was the coldest he'd ever been in his life.
Is Rittenhouse trying to eliminate you
from the timeline now by taking out your grandfather?
No. He was wounded and sent home
before they started evacuating on the 10th.
Why did they evacuate?
Well, the U.N. troops were winning the war,
that is, until the Chinese Communist army
descended upon them and forced them to evacuate
- to the Port of Hungnam. - It was the Dunkirk
of the Korean War.
Thousands of Korean refugees showed up,
families just desperate to evacuate.
Instead of leaving them behind,
General Edward Almond,
he wanted to see how many he could save.
But there was a cargo ship,
the USS Meredith Victory, they were only supposed to carry
about 60 people, but they ended up leaving with 14,000.
And nobody died? Not one. In fact, there were five babies
born on board. They called it "The Miracle of Christmas."
Why would Emma go after refugees?
- 'Cause she's the ultimate Grinch. - We'll stop her
and be home for Christmas. Bundle up.
It's gonna be cold. Come on.
I'm coming with you. You don't have to go.
I'm not losing you again.
Did you have to park the Lifeboat so far away?
Well, we don't want Communist troops
to come dashing through the snow to find it.
Oh, God.
- Let me see the map. - Here.
- Port's a few miles south. - Okay.
So, who's on the boat that's so important, anyway?
Uh...
The parents of future South Korean president Moon Jae-in?
And Emma cares about that because...?
We got to keep moving fast to stay warm.
Why the Korean War?
I can't for the life of me think of what Emma
could profit from or need there.
Well, that's what scares me. Emma may be a loose cannon,
but she is brilliant, so there has got to be a reason.
Mmm. If our team
can't stop her in 1950,
then we need to catch her in the present. Yeah.
Bloody hell.
That can't be.
They're gonna die there?
Must have been a skirmish.
- We just missed it. - Fine by me.
What's that sound?
- Is that a...? - Heliclockter. Copter.
Helicopter. Must be taking survivors to port.
Hey, everyone all right?
Yeah. We're good!
Come on. I got the last chopper going to Hungnam.
Wyatt?
Are you okay?
Emma set us up. The pilot, he was working for her.
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. He's dead.
We wrestled the controls away from him.
Still crashed. We would have died.
You saved us.
Rufus and Jiya?
They're okay. They're okay. They're okay.
Are you okay? Yeah.
All right. Come on. Okay. Ow!
Does it hurt? No, the, uh, cold air, it's very numbing.
Here, let me see.
When did you become G.I. Jane?
Chinatown. My friend Molly taught me.
Doctors were expensive.
Wonder what happened to her.
She died. Bubonic plague. I looked it up.
According to the chopper radio,
Meredith Victory sailed yesterday.
With 14,000 people, just like she was supposed to.
So the pilot, North Korea, all of it was about her killing us.
It makes sense. Emma wants to get us out of the way.
Well, it doesn't get much more out of the way
than North Korea in the dead of night.
Sleeper's dead.
Only thing left to do is find the Lifeboat and go home.
Anyone have a one-horse open sleigh?
Come on, it's gonna be light soon.
This is officially the worst Christmas vacation ever.
And that includes the Chevy Chase movie.
The protocol. They might have left us a message.
Buried... Sure.
We'll just go dig up a hole in the middle of North Korea.
So, what, would you have us just do nothing?
Just accept that they're all gone?
I can't. I won't accept that.
I'm not accepting anything. I'm saying we need a better plan.
From what I found,
it looks like they were in a helicopter crash on the 24th.
Yeah. Emma's doing. They survived, the pilot didn't.
Thanks to our intrepid team, no doubt. What exactly happens on the 25th?
They are killed by Chinese troops in the massacre of Usang-Ri.
We've gotta get to them before that happens.
Uh, how? We don't have a time machine or a pilot.
Rittenhouse has both.
Yes, and I'm sure Emma would be delighted to help us
if she wasn't the one trying to bloody kill us all.
So, this is weird.
In my timeline, you guys are still a couple.
You think you'll get back together or what?
Because I'm still totally shipping Team Wyatt.
What? What's that?
You guys are like Han and Leia. Uh, Arwen and Aragorn.
Bella and Edward?
You guys have obstacles, too.
Rufus, it's not like we got into a fight.
He was married, to someone else who he thought was dead.
Who then, all of a sudden, wasn't dead.
So he left me to be with her.
And I know that you don't remember that,
but it's not something I'm going to forget.
Well, apparently I came back from the dead, so anything's possible.
I hear that, but I don't want to be anyone's second choice.
When you were kidnapped by your mother, we thought you were dead.
We all lost hope. Except for Wyatt.
He never gave up on you. He always swore you were out there.
He tried to blowtorch his way out of the bunker to find you.
I know there was a Jessica,
but he was willing to give her up to find me.
And I'll tell you, the guy likes me,
but if he had to give you up,
I know for a fact I'd still be dead.
Doesn't sound like a second choice to me.
Guys, look.
Where are they going? Hungnam.
The last boats have to evacuate today
before the Chinese army reaches the port.
Or what happens?
North Korea happens.
Anyone who spoke out against communism or tried to help the Americans
was, at best, imprisoned.
And at worst? Beheaded.
- So, what about us? - We need to keep moving.
Chinese just crossed the border and they march dark to dark.
We gotta get to the Lifeboat before nightfall.
Otherwise communists get our time machine,
which, incidentally, is my least-favorite Christmas movie.
I'm not worried about the time machine.
I'm worried about the thousands of Chinese troops between us and it.
So, what are you saying?
In all likelihood?
We die.
So, how long does this war go on for?
War lasts another three years, till the armistice.
But nobody wins. North Korea shuts its doors.
There are families who haven't seen or heard from each other in decades.
Hey, let's check out that car.
Please, please, be a car with a heater.
Dead car.
Well, not exactly sure dead is a forever thing with us.
Hey, with our combined skill set,
how long you think it takes before this is up and running?
Rufus, I... It'll be safer, faster and warmer with wheels.
All right. Why don't you and Jiya go get warm in the church?
'Cause we're women and it's 1950?
Because you're starting to get frostbite.
You look much prettier with ears.
Good point. Let's go.
Sit there.
In San Francisco, in 1888,
there was this beautiful cathedral, St. Mary's.
Rufus will probably think I was crazy, but it made me feel closer to him.
I'm really happy for you, for both of you. I mean, just to have him back.
I love him. I know you do.
So much, Lucy.
He loves you, too.
He thinks he does.
But he has no idea who I am now.
What he remembers as yesterday was three years ago for me.
And I've changed, Lucy.
I'm not the same person he fell in love with.
I'm scared I never will be.
Shh!
You need to be careful. Informants are everywhere.
Sorry.
What are you doing here?
I thought they were no Americans left in the north.
We're... We're war corespondents.
We got separated from our unit.
I'm Rachel Maddow and this...
I'm Lucy. This is Jiya.
I'm Young-Hee. Hi.
Your English is very good. I went to a missionary school.
Oh.
Are you evacuating? No.
I came here to pray.
My husband, he's a journalist, too, but he asked too many questions.
They ordered him to print lies.
We heard they were coming for him. Did he go to Hungnam?
With my son, Tae-Woo.
I pray they are safe on the boat.
What about you? What... What are you going to do?
Wait until our army pushes the Chinese back.
In a few days, maybe this will all be over.
Then my husband and son will come home.
I still can't believe Jessica was alive, or that I was dead.
My memories are completely different from yours after Hollywood.
You know what's crazy?
Yesterday, Jiya was a year younger than me.
Now, she's two years older. She looks pretty good for her age.
Plus, I always had a thing for older women.
Started in middle school actually...
Rufus, I gotta tell you something.
Jiya being stuck in Chinatown for three years...
That was all my fault.
Jiya said it was Jessica's fault...
Yeah, but it was my fault for trusting Jessica.
Even when I knew things didn't add up. You even said so yourself.
And you told me that you would never forgive me for what happened to her.
Why are you telling me this?
Because I'd be lying to you if I didn't.
Hey, Wyatt.
I forgive you.
That's not good.
Come on.
Guys...
We gotta go.
Couple of North Korean soldiers headed our way.
I'm pretty sure they're not here for midnight mass.
Wait, wait, wait! We have to take her with us.
Is she important to history? Everybody is important.
Lucy, what do you want me to do?
We have to take her to Hungnam.
She is super pregnant
and she put her life on the line for us, no questions asked.
The Lifeboat is ten miles north.
The port is eight miles south. We can't lose that much time.
She thinks that her husband and son are coming home.
Quick history in CliffsNotes, nobody comes home.
Even if they survive, she'll be separated from her family forever.
I'm telling you, we're not gonna make it to the Lifeboat if we go to Hungnam.
I wouldn't be here if my parents didn't get out of Lebanon.
I got a second chance. Why shouldn't they?
What's the point of saving history if we don't save the people in it?
I think we lost them. Is everybody all right?
Yeah. Yeah.
We'll be lucky if we make it through town, much less to the port.
I... I can't go to the port.
I need to stay and wait for my husband and son to come home.
Young-Hee, those men will find you.
It's not safe for you to stay here anymore.
If you get on a boat, then you can catch up with your family.
You'll be together.
It's only a few days. What if it's not?
What's that? Huh?
Oh, St. Christopher, patron saint of travelers.
Found it at the church. Thought we could use a little extra luck.
After everything you've been through, you still kept your faith.
Rufus, you came back to me. How could I not?
Merry Christmas to me.
Michael.
There you are.
I was wondering...
Mr. Cahill.
I... I didn't know you'd been released from prison.
Rittenhouse always finds a way, Emma.
How did you find us?
I know every Rittenhouse-owned property on the West Coast.
Started with the estates
and took some time to work my way down to this dump.
We've had some difficult times in your absence.
The most powerful secret society the world has ever seen,
a family treasure,
reduced to this.
That incredible machine used so that you could, what?
Collect art?
I'm trying to replenish Rittenhouse's assets...
Save it. You're greedy and selfish.
I've been called worse.
I came to say goodbye.
Just give me a reason, Emma.
Thank you for your help, Mr. Cahill.
Couldn't have found this place without you.
You sold us out?
I'm selfish, too.
What did she promise you?
The chance to save my daughter's life.
Lucy still means something to me.
Plus protection and immunity for my teenage son.
It's a family thing, Emma.
Something you'll never have or understand.
How old is your son?
He's eight.
Does he like school? Not as much as I do.
I'm a teacher.
What do you teach? History.
It's hard now. The party wants us to only teach propaganda.
"And the people without knowledge"
"of their past history, origin and culture..."
"Is like a tree without roots." Marcus Garvey.
I used to be a history teacher, too.
You all right? It happened earlier.
- I'm fine. - Okay.
Come on! Want to pop the hood again?
We're only about a mile from port.
I think we just need to walk it the rest of the way.
Walk? In her condition?
Okay, okay.
Here.
It's not too much farther.
Oh, God!
You're not okay. Young-Hee, you're in labor!
Should we get her to the ambulance? No, it's too late.
Over here. Come on.
Okay. Oh, my God.
- Set her right here. Right here. - Oh, my God.
Okay. Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God.
All right, just breathe.
Good job. You've done this before?
Remote village in Afghanistan. Woman was in labor for over 22 hours.
Tried to get her to a hospital but it was too late.
Healthy baby girl.
So you know what you're doing.
Well, nothing went wrong that time.
Okay, well, there's... There's a MASH facility at the port.
I can... I can go find a doctor.
Fine. Take Rufus with you.
Okay. Be careful, all right?
They're shelling the perimeter to keep the Chinese out.
Come on, let's go. You got this, Young-Hee.
In just a few hours they bomb this whole place?
Can't leave any supplies behind for the enemy.
But everyone makes it out alive, right?
Thanks to those two.
It's Colonel Forney and Dr. Hyun Bong-hak.
They're the real heroes behind this entire operation.
Convinced General Almond not to leave any refugees behind.
Colonel Forney, sir.
Ma'am, why haven't you evacuated? I'm a war correspondent.
Lucy Preston. I work with Maggie Higgins.
We put Maggie on a plane days ago.
I know. We got separated.
We need to get you on a boat.
Of course, of course. But, uh, Private Carlin here,
he came across a refugee who's gone into labor.
We need a nurse or a doctor as soon as possible.
MASH unit's jammed up with injured patients.
We need everyone we got... Sir, please!
Ma'am, I got to make sure every one in this port gets out safely, okay?
Maybe you can find a midwife.
I'll take care of this, Colonel. Really?
Last boat departs at 1400 hours. Okay, let's go.
Come on, come on!
Jiya, run back to the ambulance, see if you can find supplies.
Emergency blankets, towels, first-aid kit, anything.
Okay, but the doctor is... No time to wait for a doctor.
This baby's coming now. Go.
Around that corner!
Up that hill about a mile away!
Oh! Oh, my God!
Wyatt! Jiya!
Wyatt! Wyatt!
Artillery fire.
No. Oh, my God.
Wyatt!
Oh, my God.
That was close, huh?
It's a girl.
Jiya! Jiya!
Oh, my gosh.
Oh!
Wyatt delivered a baby?
In the middle of a war zone.
All right, wasn't a big deal.
What else don't I know about you?
Guys, we need to get to the Lifeboat. I'll try and find us a truck.
We will make you as comfortable as possible,
but we have to get you on a boat soon.
But how will I find my husband and my son?
There was no time for record keeping.
- You will see him in Pusan, I think. - No.
No, no, no, Young-Hee, Young-Hee. Wait, wait, wait.
Umma!
Tae-Woo!
I think this little treasure belongs to you.
- The boats are leaving soon. - Thank you.
For everything.
Of course, of course.
Good luck. Good luck.
Okay.
Guys, problem. We can't get a truck.
Rufus, there's like a million of them here.
They're all rigged with explosives.
They're gonna blow up the minute the last boat leaves port.
Anything with four wheels is a bomb.
You okay?
I'm trying to have a vision of a hot shower. Leave me alone.
Cool, cool, cool.
What are the signs of frostbite again?
Who kills a nun? Shh...
Communists.
We're surrounded.
We can't outrun them, we can't fight them.
We need to hide. Come on.
Stop. They'll see us.
What if they find us anyway?
Well, I'll fire as many rounds as I have left.
And then?
Good talk.
I just really don't want to die. Again.
Would you stop it? We're not gonna die, okay?
Not after everything we've been through.
Honestly, I hope you're right.
I hope there is a God and that he, or she, saves us.
You'd think he/she would save the nun, though, right?
Just saying.
See?
You still laugh at my jokes.
I'm glad we're together.
Look, Jiya, I know things are different for you.
But...
We're still us.
And for me,
there's no one else I'd rather face a bloodthirsty army of communists with.
Me, too.
What are you thinking about?
Flynn.
The last thing that he said to us before he left to get in the Lifeboat
was if we all run off to save Rufus, who will save the world?
If we die tonight... I'm not giving up yet.
I guess it's all up to fate.
What?
Just you...
Talking about fate.
So, you were right.
And here you had me convinced that there was no such thing.
Timing is everything, right?
After that explosion, I thought you were dead.
And for a moment, I saw my whole life without you.
And my world ended, Wyatt.
I just kept thinking about
all this time that we had wasted.
Just wasted so much time,
and then, all of a sudden, there you were.
Holding a stranger's baby that you had delivered.
Then I knew. You knew what?
I'd fallen in love with you.
And nothing that happened or didn't happen
or might happen was ever gonna change it.
I love you, Wyatt Logan.
I've loved you since the Alamo,
since you kissed me with Bonnie and Clyde,
since that night in Hollywood.
What happened after...
I wanted to choose you.
I just felt like I owed her something.
I wish I could take it all back.
And the crazy part is, Flynn already did.
And now, all that we have between us is a past that only we remember.
So?
I don't care about the past anymore.
And we might not have a future.
Maybe all that matters is right now.
Oh, my God! I can't believe you're here.
I didn't want to have to leave you here to die on Christmas.
Plus, I wanted to time travel at least once.
What, no hug?
What would Jesus do?
And you brought Scrooge.
Was it the Ghost of Christmas Past or Future that got her here?
I think I liked you better when you were dead.
Sorry it didn't take.
How'd you like time traveling?
Not my choice of destinations, but still quite the miracle.
Guys, it's just...
Saint Christopher!
Agent Christopher...
Oh, come on!
Hey!
Wait, wait!
I can bring Amy back.
She's lying.
Try me.
I only did it 'cause your mother ordered me to.
But I can undo it.
It means nothing to me and everything to you.
The truth is...
I admire you, Lucy.
We would make one hell of a team.
Screw the Rittenhouse agenda. We could make history whatever we want.
I want all of this to be over.
And you want your sister back.
I can make that happen.
You just have to trust me.
I don't.
If she gets any closer to that ship, shoot her.
Oh! Oh!
Everybody, get to the Mothership!
Come on!
Rufus is gonna get the Mothership home, right?
Well, Rufus got us to the Lifeboat, didn't he?
Maybe our future selves came back to save Rufus
so that he could save us all.
Yeah, or maybe...
Maybe what?
Maybe they wanted things to turn out differently for us than it did them.
You know what, I think I can handle this by now.
Well, it's no problem at all,
ma'am.
Don't you call me ma'am.
What?
We can try to get Amy back now.
We have both time machines.
No.
Yeah, but the stuff in the journal... No, Wyatt.
I've thought a lot about this.
Look at all the awful things that Flynn did
in the name of saving his family.
Look what happened when you got Jessica back.
I mean, I am so thankful that we saved Rufus,
but it cost us Flynn.
And if we're willing to use this machine to get back the things that we've lost,
no matter the price, I mean...
When will it end?
We'd be no better than my mother or Emma.
You sure you're okay with that?
Of course not.
But everybody loses someone that they love,
and no matter how badly they want to, they can't get them back.
And in spite of that, they find a way to go on.
That's everyone's history.
All right. Well...
Jiya said auto-pilot, right?
You sure you know what you're doing?
All right.
Looks like we'll be home for Christmas after all.
We did it. You did it.
I knew I could do it.
You were scared out of your mind. I was mildly anxious.
You did it anyway. So much fun.
You flew the Mothership!
Too bad it's being destroyed as we speak.
Maybe we haven't changed so much after all.
I am so glad to hear you say that.
So, what now?
What now, what?
Well, we're gonna have to get new jobs.
I guess so.
Yeah, can't exactly put "time travel" on my resume.
Mmm.
You get to see your family again.
They think I died in the explosion at Mason Industries.
I'm making more comebacks than Elvis.
You have practice.
Guess I'll finally have to get my own place.
I guess so.
Still it was a lot of fun living together, right?
Eh, it had its moments.
Gonna miss it, sort of.
Is this your awkward way of asking to move in with me?
Way to take a hint, lady.
So, is that a yes?
Yeah? Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. That's a yes, that's a yes.
That's a yes. It'll work.
Hey. Listen to this. Yeah.
Young-Hee died in 2007. She lived well into her 80s.
Tae-Woo's a retired investment banker in Seoul.
Their daughter is a teacher, just like their mother.
Two kids. Wow.
Sounds like a crazy, ordinary, wonderful life.
Thanks to you.
No.
That was your call.
You're the one who said everyone's important.
Maybe not to history,
but everybody is important to someone, I think.
Careful.
How'd that get there?
Apparently, Agent Christopher has a dirtier mind than we thought.
I mean, it is a custom. Mmm.
All right? Mmm!
That's the first time we've done that in the present.
I mean, our present. I mean, 2018.
Hmm.
Well, it's gonna be 2019 soon.
True.
So maybe we should...
Make up for lost time?
This one is for you.
Uh, okay.
This one for you. Thank you.
This one is for you.
- Hmm! - Oh.
And there you go. Wow. You shouldn't have, really.
Really shouldn't have.
It's the thought that counts.
And the thought was what exactly?
Hey!
Uh...
It's lovely.
Guys...
We did it.
We stopped Rittenhouse.
We won.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Flynn would be proud.
Yes, he would have.
So, was this our last morning together?
You know, as a family?
Yep. As of 0900 hours, you are all free to go.
Except for you. The paperwork came through.
You're officially assigned to Special Projects with me.
No one I'd rather report to.
You look bloody ridiculous.
My children compete to find me the ugliest Christmas sweater.
And Mark won.
I wear it with pride.
Well, at least take that bloody thing off your head.
You look like some sort of drunk elf.
You get a lump of coal in your stocking or what?
No, just this.
What's that?
All that's left of the Mothership.
I'm sorry, Connor. Oh... Don't be.
There's one thing I've learnt.
A machine that powerful is too dangerous in anyone's hands.
Now, I suppose, we need to disassemble the Lifeboat.
We're keeping the Lifeboat.
A wise man once told me
that if it's possible to build a time machine, someone will build it,
and we'll need a way to stop them.
So the Lifeboat stays here, under armed guard.
Uh, Professor Preston? Yeah.
So, you're saying that without Alice Paul,
Grace Humiston is just a detective in New York?
That's right.
How do you know? Trust me, I know.
Okay. Okay.
Hey, have a happy holiday
and don't forget to review the Harriet Tubman material, all right?
Okay. Bye. Okay. See you soon.
Bye, Tegan. Yeah? Hey.
This was supposed to be a regular American History class.
How come we're only studying women?
I meant to get to the men, but we just didn't have time.
Maybe in the spring, okay? Merry Christmas. Bye.
No, no, no!
Oh, God!
Give me, give me, yeah, give me!
Oh, no! Oh, no!
Back to basic training for me.
Hello!
Mommy!
What are you torturing Daddy with this time, huh?
Boot camp.
Boot camp? I hope you didn't go too easy on him.
Guess what? What?
I got tenure.
I am so proud of you. Thank you.
Flynn! Amy! You ready to go?
Come on.
Come over here. Give me your hand. All right.
You ready for this?
Ready as I'll ever be.
We were hoping to get a better facility, but funding was even shorter than usual.
We all started somewhere.
When Rufus and I started Riya Industries, I wanted to build a better future.
Rufus,
all about giving back to the community.
He was just like these kids once.
It's called a Leyden jar, and it was actually the first capacitor.
Yeah, I've seen one of these before, but yours is definitely better.
Hey, guys.
- Could I have your autograph? - Yeah, sure.
Thank you.
How come nobody asks for my autograph?
'Cause you wanted to be the mysterious one behind the scenes.
Ah. Mmm.
You know, I think it's about time to, uh, do the...
Rufus Carlin, if anything happens to you...
Hey, I am the guy that came back from the dead.
You're never gonna stop saying that, are you?
Yeah. No, why would I?
The twins are in their pajamas,
and they are brushing their teeth.
They're so excited about their sleepover.
When I told them that Mommy and Daddy used to live here,
they didn't believe me.
That's because, like most government-funded housing,
it's utterly uninhabitable and always was.
Says the man under federal contract, right?
Well, it turns out
I liked, uh, saving the world more than I liked saving money.
So, you ever miss saving the world?
Sometimes.
Then I think about North Korea.
French and Indian War. The Murder Castle.
Al Capone trying to kill us.
Benedict Arnold. Confederate slave owners.
Nazis. Nazis.
Ready to do it one more time?
We have to, or all of this could disappear.
Hey, anybody need a pilot?
No!
Hey! Hi.
You didn't tell me he was coming.
Think we'd let you do it alone?
Yeah. Three of us started it, so let's finish it.
Okay, but if anything goes wrong... It won't.
We get in and we get out.
We got this, Lucy.
Is this seat taken?
Nao falo ingles.
I know you speak English, Flynn.
Don't worry, I'm a friend. I mean, I will be a friend.
What do you want? I don't have a lot of time.
I know about Rittenhouse.
I know what they did to your wife Lorena, and your daughter Iris.
Who are you? Shh!
My name is Lucy Preston.
I'm from the year 2023,
and I know this is going to sound crazy,
but some day, you and I are going to work together.
My God!
The time machine! Connor Mason actually built it? I knew it!
You were right. You were right about everything.
More than you will ever know.
But you...
Okay, look...
You are going to have to sacrifice everything for a cause
that almost no one will believe in.
The world will think that you're a terrorist and a traitor.
Even I'm going to think that at first, but...
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, listen to me.
But you aren't any of those things.
And you're going to think that you lost your humanity, but you didn't.
And you never will.
What about my family?
You won't get them back. I'm sorry.
You're a hero, I promise.
Maybe the greatest hero of us all.
But you're going to need my help, okay? So...
You okay?
Here, take this.
You are going to save history.

Paulina! Dinner!
Okay.
Hey! Dinner. Now.
You're working too much.
Okay, I'll be right there.
