- Dr. Ben Song risked
everything when he used

the Quantum Leap Accelerator
to travel back in time.

Now our team's working
to find out why.

As he leaps between bodies
with no memory of who he is,

he still has one hope--

that his next leap
takes him back

to the place and people
he calls home.

[intense music]

[bird cawing]

- Ben, come on!

- Be--

[shouts] You know me?

- It's now or never, new guy!

- Go!
Go, go, go, go, go, go!

- You get back here right now!

- * Whoo-hoo *

[Blur's "Song 2"]

* Whoo-hoo *

* *

* Whoo-hoo *

* *

* Whoo-hoo *

* *

* I got my head checked *

* *

- Here we go.

[engine turns over]

[tires squeal]

- * Whoo-hoo *

* When I feel heavy metal *

* Whoo-hoo *

- Whoo!

Freedom, baby!

* *

- Leah, you slashed their tires
like I showed you?

Are you sure?
- Yeah, Stacy, I'm sure.

[all panting]

We did it.

We escaped.

[light laughter]

- So we just escaped school?

* *

- * Yeah, yeah *

* *

* Yeah, yeah *

* Oh, yeah *

- If you were gonna
change your mind

about escaping that hellhole,

you probably
should have done it

before you stole the car keys.

- Right.

- I gotta hand it to you,
Klepto,

you said you could do it,
and you did.

So where you going to?

- Me?
Uh, I'm--

I'm not--not sure.

- Well, once we get to Reno,
you'll have lots of options,

um, international airport,
train station, bus terminal.

- I'm going to Vegas.

- To be a stripper, right?

Sorry.

- To be a blackjack dealer.

Or craps.

Casinos are hiring like crazy,

and Vegas is a really good
place to start over.

It's better than Alaska,
that's for sure.

- You're going to Alaska?

- Mm-hmm.
Bus to Juneau

and from there
into the interior.

Find a place as far away
from humanity as possible.

[soft music]

- They've got dope there too,
you know.

- I'll stay away from it.

* *

- I just wanna go home.

- Leah.

You can't go home.

You know that, right?

Your parents sent you away

because they think
you're broken.

- Hey. Take it easy.

- What? I mean, it's true.

I don't want her to walk in
and think they'll suddenly

just accept her for who she is.

* *

- You know, I have an uncle
who lives out here.

Maybe I'll call him.

He's nice.

I swear, he's on TV.

- The people you know
aren't the answer.

They're the problem.

They already made up
their minds about you.

- That's why you have
to start over as someone new.

It's the only way.

* *

[tires pops]
Ah!

- What's happening?

[tires screeching]

- The tire burst!

[tires screeching]

[dramatic music]

* *

[soft dramatic music]

- [gasping]

- Are you okay?

- [panting]

[grunts]

- Okay, you're okay.

Okay.

Everyone sure they're okay?

Any blows to the head or--
or pain internally?

- Are you a doctor
all of a sudden?

- No--yes--

just wanna make sure--
- This is so stupid!

[screaming]

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
Stacy.

- [screams]

[panting]

- Stacy, Stacy.

It's okay, all right?
It's not your fault.

All right--
- Don't touch me!

[tense music]

* *

- Addison, thank God.

I was worried something had
happened to you.

[hologram fluttering]

[sighs]

- Sorry.
- No, no.

I'm just glad you're okay.

- Someone shut us out
of the last leap.

I don't know who it is, but--
- Janis Calavicci.

[hologram fluttering]

[reciting Latin]

[no audible speech]

What the--

[demon shrieks]

[muffled shouting]

- [staticky] Hear me?
I've been trying

to reach you all day.

My name is Janis Calavicci.

You don't remember me.

But I am here to warn you--

- What?

- Yeah, she appeared
after you were shut out.

Said she was there to warn me.

- Warn you?

About what?
- I-I don't know.

I-I leapt before she could
say anything else.

Do you know who she is?

- Uh, sh--

you were working with her

before you leaped.

Do you remember that?

- Are you sure youwant
to do this?

[mysterious music]

* *

- No, I'm not sure.

- Well,
she's a potential threat.

I--I have to talk to the team.

- Gotcha.
I mean--I mean, I'm just--

I'm just happy you're okay.

Uh, you should have seen
the last leap.

I saw a demon.

- [chuckles softly]
You did great.

You don't even need me anymore.

- [huffs] Of course I need you.

I always need you.

[tender music]

So why did I leap here?

- Uh, well,
it is July 10th, 1996.

You are Benjamin Winters,

a 16-year-old student
of Sierra Youth Academy.

Looks like in the original
timeline,

you and three other students
got lost on a school hike

and died of heat exposure.

- That doesn't make any sense.

This does not feel like
a school hiking trip.

More like the Great Escape.

- Okay, I'll have Ian run
a diagnostic on Ziggy,

but until then, just...
keep 'em out of the woods.

[device clicks]

- Do you have
an imaginary friend?

[soft music]

* *

It is, like, one,
or do you have a whole group?

When I was a kid,
I had this family

that I would talk to,
because my family was just...

[sighs]

Well, the therapist said
it was a coping mechanism,

which is maybe
the most obvious thing

in the history of history.

- [chuckles]
- I was like,

do you really need a PhD
to make that call?

- [chuckles]

I talk to my fiancée.

Girlfriend, I t--
I talk to my girl--

I'm 16.
[chuckles]

It's my girlfriend.

- Have you ever had a real one,

a girlfriend?

- Yeah.

- I did too.

* *

- Was it nice?

- Yeah.

Yeah, it was.

* *

Oh, Stacy has a plan.

- Okay, great.

- Janis cut our connection
to Ben?

How's that possible?

- Well, she must have
her own imaging chamber,

and a handlink.

- The one she took
from her mother's house.

- Ian, tell me you can stop
Janis from doing this again.

- I reprogrammed the OS
in the imaging chamber.

It--it won't happen again.

- Ben said that she was there
to warn him about something.

- About what?
- The other leaper?

- She didn't have time to say.

But if she was there
to warn him,

then that means Ben's
in danger from something,

and right now Janis is the only
person who knows what that is.

- You guys might get the chance
to ask her very soon.

[suspenseful music]

The power requirements

for Janis' imaging chamber
are the same as ours.

So since we know when she was
trying to get in...

- You can look for local power
surges at corresponding times

and find her.

* *

- What are you doing?
- Getting something to wear

instead of this
godforsaken uniform.

Also taking stock
of what I have.

Unfortunately, what's good
for Vegas isn't great

for the middle of nowhere, so.

- Ben, from what I can tell,

the school tried to cover up
what happened.

They claim that you all
got lost on a hiking trip.

But a few weeks later,
the director, Adam Sullivan,

put in an insurance claim
for his car.

Claimed it rolled over
right here.

- What kind
of person does that?

- I don't know.
But you have to get

these kids back on the road.

In the original timeline,
they went south, split up,

and none of 'em made it.

* *

- Guys...
[sighs]

I think we should talk--

- I got some things we can use.

- Look, um, I understand
the idea was to leave school--

- Way to live up
to your nickname, Klepto.

- [laughs] No way.

You stole Director Sullivan's
fishing trophy?

He loves this thing.

- He stole something
from every one

of the sadists
who work at that place.

- Ringer's hat? Ohh.

What I would give
for that son of a bitch

to see me wearing this
right now.

[laughter]

- Okay, we were just
in a car crash.

So--
- Water, sunscreen,

a compass, and a map?

- Yeah, I figured
if the car didn't start,

we might have to go on foot.

- Leah, I know I give you crap
about being a genius,

but I will never do that again.
[laughter]

- Okay, everybody, stop!

Okay?

- No wonder people yell
at teenagers.

- What exactly do you think
is gonna happen?

We're just gonna hike to Reno?

- You got a better idea?

- Yeah. We go back to the road.

- No way. No, they're
looking for us by now.

- Look, I get the idea was
to run away from school,

but getting lost in the woods

isn't gonna
accomplish anything.

- We won't get lost.

We've got a map.

[sighs] Okay.

There's Susanville.
It's not too far.

We'll get to Reno from there.

Look for a place called
the Elbow's Bend.

There's a cabin there--

the place the Benito brothers
went to when they escaped.

- Oh, no, that's right.
I've heard about that before.

- It can't be more
than five miles.

We get there tonight, rest up,

hike to Susanville
in the morning.

- Okay, not to sound
like a broken record,

but this is exactly
what must not happen.

- Yeah, five miles
in this terrain?

That's gonna take a whole day
right there.

We've got no food.

We've got one bottle of water
between the four of us.

And I hate to be
the bearer of bad news,

but this isn't some game, okay?

We get lost, we will die.

- Don't exaggerate.

- I promise,
I am not exaggerating.

If we do this, you're never
gonna make it to Vegas.

You won't make it to Alaska.

And you're never gonna get
to see your folks.

We're gonna die.

- You've only been here
a few weeks,

so you probably won't get this.

But I would gladly die before
I ever go back to that school.

[tense music]

- Me too.

- Me three.

- Come on.
We can get changed on the way.

- You can go back.

No judgement.
Just, um,

make sure you don't tell them
where we're going.

* *

- [sighs]
Ben, you have to stop this.

* *

- Can you make sure
we don't get lost?

- Y-yes, but Ben, this--

- You do that,
I'll keep them alive.

* *

[suspenseful music]

[cell phone ringing]

[message tone beeps]

[pulsing beep]

- [chuckles softly]

- Where?
- A warehouse,

three miles east, rented
by a shell corp six months ago.

- Right when Ben
and Janis started doing

whatever it is they're doing.

- Our tactical unit will
meet us once we get up top.

And I got a backup unit
scrambling out of Torrance.

- Is that enough?

- Janis is a lone wolf.

She's gone to a lot of trouble
to stay hidden.

I'd be surprised if she hired
even one security guard,

lest she risk them stumbling
onto something.

- That sounds like admiration.

- Just one shark
recognizing another.

- So your dad reached out
to me.

Says you're not
taking his calls.

- Yeah,
there's a reason I'm not.

We're about to capture Janis.

You of all people should know
now's not the time

to let anything get in our way.

[machinery clunks]

* *

That doesn't make any sense.

It says the whole office
is under lockdown protocol,

as if we're under attack.

[alarm blaring,
indistinct chatter]

I didn't give the command.

- Janis still has access
to our system, right?

Would her access include, say,

elevator cameras?

* *

- She saw us coming,

and she's buying herself
time to get away.

- [huffs]
Like you said,

a shark.

* *

- Their chemistry
is undeniable.

I mean, it makes me,
like, emotional.

- I've never heard
of them before.

- Wait till you hear "Wannabe."

It's the new
"Bohemian Rhapsody."

They're releasing it
in the States soon.

- What do we know about them?

Maybe if we know them better,
I know how to help.

- Okay, Roy Bacall,

the only child
of very successful parents.

High IQ, but has flunked out

of every school
he's ever been to.

Had two overdoses
before he got sent to Sierra.

The second one they didn't
think was an accident.

[soft dramatic music]

Stacy Thompson, star athlete,

voted "most popular"
freshman year of high school

until her mom died
in a car accident.

Looks like her dad was
an alcoholic.

She engaged in an escalating
series of physical altercations

on and off school grounds
until she was sent to Sierra

after trying to burn down
her own house.

- [sighs]
Lost her mom freshman year,

so she was a year younger
than I was when I lost my mom.

- Leah Valencia,
the youngest daughter

of a very religious family.

She has a dozen
different diagnoses

from a dozen
different psychiatrists--

depression, anxiety, ADHD.

I mean, despite that,
she was a straight A student.

I mean, like,
100s on every test.

Her parents sent her to Sierra

after she was discovered
cutting herself.

- [sighs]
Addison, I know each leap

is a challenge, but this one...

- Yeah. It's a lot.

- These three kids don't have
a single supportive person

in their lives between them.

- Well,
four if you include yourself.

Ben Winters was a socially
challenged introvert,

diagnosed with Asperger's.

Looks like he channeled most
of his anger into stealing.

- So, she hot?

Imaginary girlfriend, she hot?

- [laughs]
- Hope so.

Otherwise, what's the point?

- [scoffs]

Cute kid.

Ben, look at them.

They're exhausted.

- Stacy, maybe we should stop
before it gets any darker.

- No way. We haven't even
made it over the ridge.

- You got some torch we don't
know about, or do you just

think we'll be able
to keep going by moonlight?

- No,
but I don't think we should

stop until we have to.

- Well, this is us saying
we have to.

- Hey, go easy on that water.

It's all we've got.

- Ben, it's supposed to be
over 100 degrees tomorrow.

- It has to last all of us
until we get to the cabin.

- And Ziggy says there's
no record of any cabin.

- Klepto was right
about one thing,

we're not making it
five miles tonight.

So let's not make
a bad situation

worse by getting lost.

- Or by getting obnoxious
with each other, right?

- Okay, hey, guys, okay,
we're--we're all tired

and--and hungry, and I know
I've said this before,

but if we turn around now,
the road's not that far.

- What part of not going back

don't you understand?
both: Roy, come on!

[tense music]

* *

- Fine!

You all win.
We will stop here

for the night.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

- He just gets like that
when...

yeah.

[insects chirping, owl hooting]

[leaves rustling]

[animal growling]

- What was that?

[growling gets louder]

[suspenseful music]

* *

[wolf barks]

[wolves snarling]

[suspenseful music]

* *

- I don't suppose there's
a gun in there I didn't see.

- Any suggestions what to do?

* *

[wolf barks and snarls]

- [growls]

- Leah, you okay?

- Yes.

The best response...
[growls]

[wolves barking]

To any predator...

[growls]
Is to become a bigger...

[growls]
Scarier predator.

- Don't take this
the wrong way,

but just to confirm,
you are an actual genius?

- No, Ben, she's right.
If you run or act afraid,

they'll attack.

- [growling]

- [growls]

[both growling]

- [growls]

- [growls]

[wolves whimpering]

- Now we charge!

- We what?

[both growling]

[wolves whimpering]

[all growling]

- And don't come back!

[all panting]

[soft music]

[building laughter]
- It worked.

It actually worked.

[laughter]

- Nice work.

So, uh, we're taking shifts
sleeping, right?

- Yeah, you bet your ass.

- Okay.

[laughter]

- Your girlfriend here?

- [chuckles softly]

No.

She needs her rest.

Can't sleep?

- Side effects of...

Ironic, right?

You'd think it'd be
the other way around.

I'm sorry...about before,

pushing you like that.

Worst part is, I hate it

when my dad puts
his hands on me.

Promised I'd never be like him,

says every kid ever.

- Ben, I was in the military
with people

who were sent
to place like this.

They always said the worst
part was that nobody cared.

Nobody cared
if they ate breakfast.

Nobody cared
how they did in school.

And nobody listened.

That's all anyone
at this age wants.

Talk to him.

Talk to him like you would
one of us.

[soft dramatic music]

* *

- I have a friend.
He's a physicist.

And he does this thing
where he talks about life

in terms of physics.

- Maybe not literally
like you'd talk to u-us.

Okay. All right.

- Your friend sounds like
a riot.

- It's actually more helpful
than you'd think.

For example, he'll talk
about states of matter.

Like, water, you heat it
and heat it and heat it,

and nothing ever happens.

So you swear that--
that it will never change,

try as it might.

Until one day, poof.

It's steam.

You didn't try
anything new that day.

You just never quit trying
to change it.

- Your friend couldn't
just say,

"don't quit trying to quit"?

- [chuckles]

- Well, this "water" here

has actually quit before.

I was sober before I got
to Sierra Academy.

And then I talked back,

and they put me in the box.

- The box?

[dramatic beat]

- You know the one,
in the parking lot.

Size of a...

[suspenseful music]

Thing no one should be put in.

Two days in there,

two days of Ringer
and his crew telling me

I was worthless,

and I believed 'em.

- Ben, I don't think this is
just about saving their lives.

I think there might
be more to this.

- Have you checked with
the engineering department?

- Yes, and surprise,
they are trapped

in their offices,
just like everyone else.

- Ian, we gotta
get out of here.

- Oh! Oh, you wanna--
you wanna get out?

I mean--
[laughs]

Why didn't I think of that?

It's--it's not like

every single other
department isn't also trying

to call me every 30 seconds,

or that I'm trying
to figure out

how to lift this lockdown
by myself,

or that I have
to monitor Ben's leaps.

I mean, that would be crazy.

Oh, wait, yes,
it is exactly like that.

- Feel better now?

- I, uh--I am working
as fast as I can,

but it's--
it's gonna be a while.

- [sighs]

So...

Should we talk about it?

- Given how you literally
have me trapped

with no ability to walk away?

Sure, let's talk about it.

[soft dramatic music]

- He's your father.

- He's a con man
with a gambling problem

who left me to raise myself.

[laughs humorlessly]

If I didn't have
a really strong group

of friends to lean on--

and a guardian angel...

- What can I say?
I know talent when I see it.

- Every few years,
he reaches out,

says he wants to reconnect.

And every few years, I say yes

because I'm an adult
and what's the harm, right?

But somehow, every few years,

when he disappears
after I've lent him money,

I'm still disappointed.

Like Lucy with the football.

- Charlie Brown.

It's Charlie who wants
to kick the football.

Lucy's the one
who always pulls away.

- You get my point.

- Yes. I do.

But take it from a father
who's made a lot of mistakes,

it's better to risk
disappointment than to give up.

- That sounds great
for a greeting card.

But it's not always the case
in real life.

- Just think about it.

* *

[tense music]

* *

[insects buzzing,
birds chirping]

- It's not withdrawal.

No, I'm just about to collapse
from heat exhaustion.

- Ben, Leah's flagging.

* *

- Stacy, we need
to take a break.

Stacy--
- We've taken three breaks

this morning.

- Well, then maybe
we should stop,

sit in the shade
until it cools off.

- We can't stop!

Look, you were right.

This is harder than I thought.

But we have to keep going,

and you and I need
to look strong for them,

because we have a way to go,
and I--

I gave Leah the last
of our water ten minutes ago.

* *

- [sighs]

- Ben, Elbow Bend is still
over two miles away,

and Ziggy says the odds suck
no matter what you do.

- I keep thinking
about that box, Addison,

back at the school,

the one they stick you in
and leave you for days.

[suspenseful music]

There's probably a kid in it
right now.

- I know.

- You said it yourself,
this is more

than just about
me saving their lives.

I was sent here
to help them escape,

and I will help them escape.

- [screams]

[suspenseful music]

[crying out]

- What happened?
- [wincing]

I stepped in a snake hole.
It hurts!

- Leah, I'm just gonna
take a look at your ankle.

Okay?
- Uh-huh.

[wincing]

[screams]

[sobbing]

- It's broken.

* *

- Her foot got caught
in a snake hole.

They're--they're everywhere.
- Okay,

I don't want anyone
to panic, okay?

My mom used to say,
the more scared you are,

the more fear you have
as fuel to fix things.

- In that case, your mom
should know I could power

a 747 right now.

- No, Ben is right.

We have to focus.
What do we do?

- First, we're gonna build
a world-class splint for Leah.

Then, we're gonna get
to that creek.

- It's 2.1 miles
as the crow flies,

but it's at least downhill.

- Water is the only thing
we need.

We can go hungry for weeks
if we have to.

- But we won't have to.

I'm sure that cabin
will have food.

- Ben, I checked again.

Ziggy says there's no cabin
for, like, a dozen miles.

- [cries out]
- Okay.

Here's what we need
for that splint.

- All right, you need
to stabilize the joint.

Find two branches.
- We need two branches.

- All right, we need some kind
of cushion and a cord.

- Okay, do you have some
T-shirts and a belt, maybe?

- All right, now you just
gotta secure the ankle.

- Now we just have
to secure the ankle.

Ready?

- Okay, that splint should
allow Leah to stand on her own

and walk with assistance.

[soft dramatic music]

- Okay.

I'll get better at it.

- Nice job, imaginary hottie.

- It is nice
to be acknowledged.

- Everybody ready?

Next stop, the creek.

* *

- Here, you can have
my painkillers.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

I don't need 'em anymore.

* *

[alarm blaring]

- Well, uh, I'd--
I'd like to say

that I know how much longer
this might take,

but unfortunately--
or fortunately--

I'm not Jenn,
so I still have no idea

how much longer
it's gonna take.

- [sighs]

- Not a time for jokes?

Okay, noted.

[suspenseful music]

Uh, hey, Addison,
I don't suppose

that you would mind coming out
of the imaging chamber

to help me free Magic and Jenn.

- No, I can't right now.

I will as soon as I can.

[sighs]
Okay, Ben,

it's only about a quarter mile
to the creek.

- Wow.
I really can't feel anything.

- How many did you give her?

- One, I swear.

- Do these pills
make you chatty?

I feel like they're
making me chatty.

It's funny because usually
I like to feel pain.

That's weird, right?

They say it's about control.

Like, people who self-harm are
actually seeking control,

which makes sense
because for me,

it doesn't matter how well I do
in school or anything else.

I'm interested in girls.

Just so happens that means
that my mom and dad think

that I'm going to hell.

And Stacy,
I know you would just tell me

not to care what they think,

but I can't help it.

I love them.

- Can you forgive them,

show them the kindness
that they couldn't give you?

- And who exactly
will that help?

- Her.

It'll help her.

- Maybe.

I mean, all my life, I just
assumed I was a misfit toy,

like, broken in the box.

But it seems like
you guys don't feel that way.

Like, maybe to you
I'm not weird.

- Leah, we don't think you're
weird because you're not weird.

- Yeah.

We think you're kind of great.

- You do?
- Yeah.

Then again, look at us.

You really wanna be lumped in
with this group?

That's a low bar.

[laughter]

[dramatic music]

- No.

No, no, no, no, no, no!

- There's no water.

- On all the maps,
this was a blue line.

- 1996 must have been
a dry year for runoff.

* *

There's no way.

There's no way
this is the leap.

There's no way.

- Ben?

- There's no way
this is the leap!

There's no way
I don't save these kids.

- Maybe he's talking
to his friend.

- Or maybe he's lost it.

- [barely audible]
There's no way.

* *

I have to do this.

* *

- What do you see?

- That's a perfect circle,
right?

That's not natural.

- That's because it's a pipe.

- An intake pipe--
for fresh water.

It's illegal to draw water
from a creek like this,

but that doesn't mean
people don't do it,

especially people who want
to live off the grid

and who want to stay--

stay hidden.

- What?

What is it?

[triumphant music]

* *

- We made it.

We made it!

The cabin was off the grid.

That's why
Ziggy couldn't find it.

- Wait, who's Ziggy?

* *

- Hey, guys,
there's a generator out back.

Should I try to power it up?

- No, no, no. No need.

We got lights.

- What about food?

- Tons of food. Like, so much.

Take your pick. There's
a full cupboard back there.

[faucet squeaks, water runs]

- We got water.

[soft music]

* *

- Was that your uncle
you tried?

- Yeah.

He's not like my parents.

Okay, he's really cool.

He's on local news.

Okay, I get it.
You guys don't have

someone like him, but I do.

So trust me.

- Fine.

I trust you.

But under one condition.

You have to dance.

[No Doubt's
"Just a Girl" playing]

- [laughs]

- Yes!

Tunes!

- But my ankle's broken!
- No, come on.

- It's--I--I can't--
- Come on, come on, come on.

Get up. Get up.
[laughter]

* *

- Oh. Oh, no.
Why--

don't look at me.
- Up.

- Oh, no.
- Oh-hoh-hoh, yes.

Oh, so yes.

[laughter]

* *

- * Oh, I've had it up to *

* Oh, I've had it up to *

* Oh *

* I've had it up to *

* Here *

- What did he say?

My dad, what'd he say?

Is he in trouble?

Is he hurt?
- He's lonely.

He said he's lonely and worried

you'll never call him back.

- [groans] Is it worth it?

Is it really worth the risk
of being disappointed?

- It's worth the risk.

[soft dramatic music]

- What, no quip?

No thoughtful pearls of wisdom,

just a straightforward answer?

- It's worth the risk.

[loud thud]

- Anyone order room service?

- [chuckles]

- God, it feels good
to be real.

[No Doubt's "Don't Speak"
playing softly]

- I've gotta admit,

you were right
about this place.

- You doubted me?

Youdoubted me?

- No. No.

No, no, no, of course not.
Of course not.

- Really?
- Mm-mm.

- * Letting go *

* And if it's real, well,
I don't want to know *

* Don't speak, I know
just what you're saying *

* So please stop explaining *

[door opens]

- I don't need one
of your speeches, Klepto.

- It's not a speech.

Just an observation.

- An observation, huh?

- You're a leader, Stacy.

You're the reason
we're all here,

and you're the reason
we're gonna make it.

But being a leader's hard,

especially when it's
not your choice.

Like when you lose a parent.

You're forced to grow up fast.

Right?

Too fast.

Just know that it's okay
to slow down.

It's okay to let people in.

It's okay to make mistakes,

like, um,
kissing the wrong boy.

Who knows? Might just end up
being the right one.

- I thought you weren't
gonna give me a speech.

That was totally a speech.

- It was a speech.
- Mm-hmm.

[both laugh]

- It was also the truth.

[car approaching]

[suspenseful music]

- No. No, no, no, no.

- Blow out the candles.
Someone's coming.

- What?
- Someone is coming.

* *

- It's the only residence
in the area.

Only so far they could've got.

* *

[tense music]

* *

- They're definitely here.

- Ms. Thompson, Mr. Bacall,
we know you're here.

You're just making it worse
on yourselves.

- Ms. Valencia,

I would to have to report
this little incident

to your parents.

Or yours, Mr. Winters.

* *

[insects chirping]

[suspenseful music]

* *

- Hey! I'm out here, guys!

- Leah?

- Hey, let's get this
over with.

Yeah, take your time.

I can't really
run anywhere, so...

I'm here all night.

- [sighs]

Where are the others, Leah?

- They left
about five hours ago.

Yeah, said I was...
slowing them down.

[screams]

- Well, I guess
she isn't faking it.

- Ow!

- We gotta help her.

- What are you gonna do,
fight them?

Leah's doing this to save us.

We go out there,
get caught--or worse,

and Leah's sacrifice was
for nothing.

* *

- We need to get to Reno.

We get to Reno,
and we disappear.

- It's not finished.
What we set out to do,

it's not finished.

- What did we set out to do?

Escape! Leah just gave us that.

- You didn't set out
just to escape.

You set out to have lives.

And after having spent the last
day and half with you both,

you both want to have
lives that matter.

You go out there now,

you'll never
forgive yourselves.

- What do you recommend? Huh?

We just storm the school,

just tear down walls
of oppression?

- Yes.
That's exactly what we do.

Once and for all.

- Great.

How?

- With Leah's help.

- Leah's help?
What are you talking about?

How can Leah help?

[tense music]

- Do you know the hell you're
putting your parents through?

If you just listened,

you wouldn't have
these problems, Leah,

but you refuse
to help yourself.

- We tried to give you all
the tools you need to succeed,

but you insist
on being defiant.

- Well, hopefully
a week in the box

will help you see the light.

- No! No!

No!

- Don't look at us.

You only have yourself
to blame.

- I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!

[straining]

* *

[car approaching]

[tires screech]

[laughs]

You are so over.

- Start rolling right now.

- Uncle George!

- Are you okay?
- Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

- Wait, wait, wait.
What is this?

- That's my question for you.

What is going on here exactly?

What is your name?
- His name's Ringer,

'cause he likes
to ring our bell.

You like my hat?

- You, you're the director
of Sierra Academy,

isn't that right--
Director Sullivan, I believe?

- Uh--
- What were you doing

to my niece?
What are you doing

to the kids
that come here for help?

- No comment.

Now, this is private property.

I'm calling the police.

- Rest assured,
they're already on their way.

- Wanna guess who goes
into a box next?

- Well, have forensics
go over the place

and let me know
if you find anything.

[soft dramatic music]

- Gone?
- With all her most crucial

equipment stripped out
of her imaging chamber.

- Don't worry. You'll get her.

- How do you know that?

- Because you're you.

You never give up.

* *

- Hey, Dad. How's it going?

No, sorry, I was busy.

[chuckles]
No, I haven't eaten yet.

I guess I could go
for some dim sum.

* *

- You came back.

I was hoping you might.

- It was all Klepto's idea.

- Yeah, but calling
your uncle was Stacy's.

- What?

I listen.

- [chuckles]

- We're gonna get you all out
of here in a few minutes.

I just wanna make sure
you're all comfortable

with going on record.
- Oh, with pleasure.

- Not just with the press--
the police, CPS, everybody.

- You sure it'll change things?

- Whew. Big time.

- I have a pretty good
feeling it will.

- Sierra Youth Academy
is shut down.

Director Sullivan and several
members of his staff

are indicted on multiple counts
of child endangerment,

and Leah's uncle does a whole
series of investigative reports

about child youth camps

just like this one
all around the Southwest.

- What about the kids?
They're gonna be okay?

- Who's he talking to?
- Shh. Don't interrupt.

- Stacy moved to Vegas.

She's managing a casino.

Roy lives in Boston,
has four kids,

and runs a group home.

Leah is a rocket scientist--
shocker.

And you're a sculptor.

Life isn't always easy,
but they stay friends.

Even go on vacations together.

- Hm.

Friends for life.

* *

Oh, after this, I think we're
gonna be friends for life.

- Yeah, we can be pen pals.

- Or, I don't know,
use a phone.

- Am I the only one
who's heard of email?

- Um, yeah, did you think
I meant snail mail?

- What's sn--oh.

I get it.
[laughter]

- Friends for life.

Promise?

- Promise.

- Promise.

- Promise.

- Promise.

[dramatic music]

I have to do this.

* *

Promise me
you'll see this through,

no matter what happens.

- If you're right about this,

what choice do I have?

* *

- Would you just excuse me
for just one moment?

- Ben?

You okay?

- I, um...

I remember.

* *

- Remember what?

- Are you sure youwant
to do this?

- It's the only chance
we've got.

Why I leapt in the first place.

* *

It's to save you.

- What?

* *
