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 Dr Beckett finds himself
leaping from life to life,

striving to put right
what once went wrong.

And hoping each time
that his next leap...

..will be the leap home.'

OK, ladies. Let's hear it
for that star - a Chippendale -

Rod The Bod.

(WILD CHEERING)

Oh, boy!

♪ KOOL AND THE GANG: Ladies' Night

(CHEERING)

'In Ancient Rome, slaves were forced
to fight armoured gladiators

to the death. If the slave survived,
he'd be set free.

In this crowd, he'd be eaten alive.'

(WOMEN CHEER AND SCREAM)

Calm down, ladies.
It's time to say 'bye-bye' to Rod.

(WOMEN SCREAM)

Hey, hey.

♪ Yes, it's ladies' night

♪ And the mood is right

♪ Oh! It's ladies' night
Oh, what a night

(WOMEN SCREAM)

I've never been degraded like that -
I'd give anything

to be degraded like that.
Al, would you look at me?

Don't look at me!
I'm one of these Chippendale guys.

You're Rod The Bod.

You're real name's Rod McCarty.

You used to be
an all-American split...

..end. Oh, split end for USC.

(CHUCKLES)
And your career was sidelined

when your knee got blown out.
Ever since them, you've been touring

with the Chippendale -
Tell me it's not the '70s again, OK?

It's October 6th, 1979,
New York City. Oh!

This is horrible.
What are you complaining about?

Most guys would kill to be in a room

full of screaming, sex-crazed women,

who want nothing more than -
To treat me like a piece of meat.

(WOMEN SCREAM)
Argh!

Exactly.
What am I here to do?

Ziggy's working on it. Probably
something to do with Rod The Bod.

We'll know in 24 hours.
24 hours?!

What am I supposed to do
in the meantime, huh?

Shake your booty.

♪ THE O'JAYS: For The Love Of Money

You look real nice, honey.

A beer.

Thanks.

Excuse me.
You got a margarita coming, baby.

Hey! Hey! Yo, I'm talking to you.

Hey, wait.

Hey, Mario. What's with the new
broad? She's ignored me all night.

Well, maybe she's got good taste.
Ha-ha (!)

Just don't schedule her
any more weekends, OK?

Don't worry, Otto. She'll be dancing
bachelor parties after tonight.

She's a stripper, huh? I prefer
to call 'em exotic dancers.

Right, Rod?
Yeah, yeah. I guess so.

I prefer to call my car a Rolls,
but it ain't.

I loved that fall off the stage.
It looked real.

Oh, yeah. Well, thanks.
It felt real.

Man, I'm making more tonight
than I do off most acts in a week.

Why don't you cancel your next gig
and stick around?

We could make it
interesting for you.

Ha... Yeah, well, you know, I'm...

I'm really looking forward
to my next gig.

So... Thanks, though. Thanks.

He's really looking forward
to his next gig. Yeah, right.

Hey, baby. How are you doing?

What's the matter?
Cat got your tongue?

I'm talking to you!

Let's not get too friendly
with the waitresses, OK?

Why not?
Because I'm asking you not to.

♪ EARTH, WIND AND FIRE: Getaway

My name is Rod.
Diana.

Hey, hey, hey.
This ain't Soul Train. Let's go.

You're great.
Thanks.

She better be. This girl runs
the best modern jazz dance company

in the country.
Really?

I'm working on it.
She's having an open call Monday.

Why don't you come by?

Oh, no. I-I-I don't dance.

Oh. Well, honey, I don't know.

I saw you do a couple of good moves
between those bumps and grinds

you were doing up there.
That?

Yeah.
No, no. That's work.

I'd really like to see you work.

Well, I-I got to get going,
so...so maybe I'll see you later.

You can bet on it.

He is so cute!
Mm.

Take my phone number, honey.
(BOTH GIGGLE)

(WOMEN SCREAM)

Was that a Gibson or a gimlet?

Hey, yo, doll. I'm talking to you.

Gibson or gimlet?

Gimlet.

What the hell
is the matter with you?

She's deaf.
Which is the reason you're here.

Diana?
Yeah. Diana Quinna.

She was raised in Wyoming

and she spent ten years
at the Cheyenne School For The Deaf.

And then she ran away
in the middle of her senior year.

She never graduated from high school?
Uh...no. She came to New York

a year and a half ago.
And since then,

she hasn't been able
to keep one job she got.

Aren't her parents looking for her?
No. They died in a car crash

when she was seven.
She suffered a severe head injury -

that's how come
she lost her hearing.

How am I going to help her?
Well, there's a couple of ways.

Next month,
she gets arrested for prostitution.

What?!
I'm afraid so.

And before it's over,
she gets arrested 26 times.

That's terrible, Al.

Yeah. Wait a minute.
When you said 'before it's over'...?

Well, it's over in '86
when she dies of AIDS.

How does a young girl like her
become a prostitute?

Sam, we're talking about New York
City here. Forget that she's deaf.

Do you know how tough it is
for a single girl without a family to make it in New York?

Al, I have never been around
a deaf person before.

I don't know how to...
I had a thing for a deaf girl once.

Boy, could she read lips.

Al, this is no time for one
of your cheesy kiss-and-tell stories.

She was my lab partner at MIT.
She was one of the brightest women I've ever known.

And she wouldn't sleep with you?
No.

Right? Why does your
Swiss-cheese memory remember stuff

I want to forget?
So I guess I'm here

to stop her
from becoming a prostitute.

And to get her to finish school -
which is my guess.

Mario -
the guys who owns this place -

was saying something about
her dancing at some bachelor party -

I think he means stripping.
That's probably how she gets started

into hooking.

Hm.

Deaf? She's deaf?
Yeah, I'm afraid so.

She had a little accent. I thought
she might have been French.

A deaf stripper - how about that?

No, she's a deaf waitress.

And I like to keep it that way.
You're nuts.

A cute little thing like that,
she could pull in $200 a night.

Hey, hiring her makes me
an equal opportunity employer.

It also makes you a pimp.
Hey!

All my party girls are strictly
'look, but don't touch'.

What they do after for tips,
THEY do.

You're just uh...singling out
the virgin wool

before the wolves, right?

Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

In fact, I tell you what,
I'll make you a deal.

Uh...you keep her
working as a waitress

and away
from your bachelor parties -

And what does that get me?

I'll cancel my next gig
and dance here.

Call me Monty Hall.

♪ STEVIE WONDER: Another Star

(VOLUME DOWN)

I said I'm sorry.
Don't spy on me.

No, no. I didn't mean to.
I just uh...

Like to peep, huh?

No. I heard the music.

It's kind of hard not to, you know.

You want me to walk you home?

You want me to -

What's that?
You want me

to walk...you home.
This means walk.

Oh. Oh, like this. OK.

You know what this means?

Bye?
Bye.

Diana, listen.

You're not going
to walk home by yourself, are you?

I'm trying to.
It's too dangerous out there.

You want me to protect you (?)

Are you always this sarcastic?

Only with people
who won't let me go home.

(SIGHS)

Stop following me.
I'm not. I'm going to get a hot dog.

You want one?
I don't eat meat.

Hi, Diana. You want the usual?

Let me guess - mustard on a bun,
hold the hot dog?

(GIGGLES)
I'll have one of her usuals too.

Coming right up.
Thank you.

Thank you - that's thank you?

Thanks.

You're welcome?
Anyone who gets to know me

can pick up the easy signs.

OK. Oh, thank you.
Good night.

Good night to you, kid.
Good night.

Why don't you tell people
that you're deaf?

Why should I?

When people know I'm deaf,
they feel sorry for me

or treat me like I have the plague.
Maybe that's because

they don't want to seem stupid.
Stupid?

Not you!

Hearing people, like me.

I mean...to tell you the truth,

I really don't know
how to talk to you.

Just talk.

I can read your lips.

I may not get everything.

Maybe half.

Unless you cover your mouth,
turn away

or speak fast.

Well, that's
why you couldn't understand Otto.

Otto - the bartender
with the moustache.

You mean walrus?

Yeah.
How he expects me to know

what he's saying with all this hair
growing on his lips...

Do you...

do you hear anything at all?

White noise.

Vague sound,
like when Jailhouse Rock plays.

I feel the rhythm and beat,
but no Elvis.

So that's how you can dance?

When I turn the music up,
it's like I'm hearing.

I feel the vibration

passing through my body.

When I dance, it feels like a dream.

I can't imagine
what it would be like to live

without ever hearing music.

I know music in a way
that you will never know.

When I look around,

I see music everywhere.

There's the music in the stars.

The way they sparkle.

I feel them.

There's music in the light

as they dance on the water at night.

And how the leaves
chase each other, laughing.

Like children that play.

When I feel the wind on my face,

the wind is my music.

So I came to New York to dance.

Being a waitress
is just a way to survive

until I get a break. If you can call
the tips I made tonight surviving.

Diana, you know, there was
a choreographer at the club tonight.

Joanne Chapman.
You know her?

She's incredible.

Well, she's having open auditions
on Monday.

Well, I already danced for her.
She didn't even notice me.

You mean tonight at the club?
That wasn't an audition.

I mean, she was just having fun.

Monday is the audition.
What if I'm not good enough?

What if you are?

Good night.
Good night.

(WHISTLES A TUNE)

Hey, honey,
you got any spare change?

Honey, can you spare a dime?

Hey! What are you?
Deaf or something?

God! These kids!

(SHOUTING) Rod told me you weren't
interesting at dancing at parties.

Rod told me you weren't
interested in dancing at parties.

He had no right to tell you that!

Well, maybe not,
but I already booked the gig.

Sorry. Look, are you short
a little bread? I can lend you some.

I don't take handouts.
Oh.

Well, we could always figure out
another way to pay me back.

You understand what I am saying?

He's a real sweetheart.

I can't make enough on tips
to get through the winter.

Maybe I can book you into something.

Maybe I can book you into something.

Really?
Yeah.

Until then, you need
to borrow a couple of bucks?

No, no, no.
Just give me a job dancing.

All right. I'll do my best, kid.

Come back tomorrow, huh?

What...? What are you doing?

Sign language. See?

This...this means 'boring'.

Oh, I thought you ran out of Kleenex
or something.

That's 'boring'.

What have you got
on a Joanna Chapman?

Hm. Joanna Chapman.

Oh, oh, Al.

Look at this.

What do you think that says?

Oh, that's the incy wincy -
No, no, no.

No, no, no. No!

'Quantum Leap'.

That's 'Quantum Leap'?
Yeah.

Quantum Leap.

That's neat.

Quantum...

Oh, Joanna Chapman - here we go.
She's a hotshot choreographer.

She's one of the best
in the country.

I know. I saw her dance last night.
I think I'm here

to get Diana into her dance company.
She hasn't even graduated

from high school.
She'll do it here while dancing.

As what? A stripper -
No, I've taken care of it.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

I took care of that.

Oh, hi. Come on in.

How dare you tell Mario
I wouldn't dance at his party!

I just didn't want you to...

I didn't want you to make a mistake.

The only mistake
was letting you walk me home!

Well, stay away from me,
Rod The Bod!

Diana...

I ain't got nobody like that here.

Well, I dropped her off here
last night.

Are you telling me I'm crazy?
No, no.

She's pretty, she's got big eyes,
kind of blonde-ish hair.

She's deaf.
Oh, the deaf girl?

She don't live here.
She's been parking back and forth

across the street
for the last month.

The last month? Yeah.
See that blue and white van?

I called the city council, asked
them to come in and clear her out.

You think they did anything?
Hell, no! Not a thing!

Thank you.
It's just trash.

This whole neighbourhood
is getting to be trash. Total trash.

I told you to stay away from me.
I didn't think you meant it.

You're crazy!
I'm not living in a tow-away zone.

Diana, listen to me.
I'm just trying to help you.

So you tell Mario
I don't want to dance?

Stripping is not the same as dancing.
You strip!

There's a difference.
I don't see it.

Neither do I, but -
You're here because I'm deaf.

That's not what this is about.
Yes, it is!

You think
I'm a poor little deaf girl,

who needs hearing people
to protect me.

Even if you had perfect hearing,

I still wouldn't want to see you
dancing in one of Mario's parties.

Why? Don't you think I can dance
as good as you?

No. I think you can dance
better than me.

Good enough to get
into Joanne Chapman's dance company.

I can't dance for Joanne.
Why not?

I just can't.
You could try.

What are you saying?

I...I...

I don't understand you.
Good.

Now you know
what the world feels like to me.

Listen. This is not about being deaf.

This is about being afraid.
I'm not afraid of anything.

You're afraid of failing.
I can't dance her style.

Yes, you can. I have seen you dance.
You're great.

But it's not her style.

If I want to dance in Joanne's
company, I have to copy her.

You danced with her.
She's strong and sharp

and she's a star.

I don't dance like that.

I-I need more experience
before I audition.

How are you going to get it?

By stripping at parties?
I'm not a stripper!

You would've been
if I hadn't stopped you.

Listen.

Wait, wait, wait.
(CAR HORN)

Hey, get out of the street!

You said that
your senses were sharper.

That you see things others don't.

Well, I see things too.

And right now, I can see that you're
at a turning point in your life.

You can pick a road that
goes up or a road that goes down.

I don't know what to do.

Dance at that audition tomorrow.

Are you doing this because I'm deaf?

No, because you're good.

Diana, it's OK
to let people help you.

You don't have
to do everything alone.

OK.

OK.

♪ CHERYL LYNN: Daybreak

I can't do it!
Yes, you can.

I've been trying for six hours.

OK. Well, maybe...maybe
you're trying too hard.

You know, I mean, you said
that Joanne does everything easy.

Right? So let's just...come on,
let's just do it easy.

Show me.
Me?

You are a terrific dancer.
No, no, not really.

What's the matter?
Afraid you'll fail?

All right, people. Impress me.

OK. OK.

All right. Everybody, take a minute.
Catch your breath.

I got somebody missing.

15. No.15.

Going once, twice.
OK, she's not here.

No, no, no, she's here.
Rod The Bod.

Listen, No.15 -
she's back there in the pink.

Are you auditioning today, honey?
Oh, no.

No, she's a friend of mine.
Uh-huh.

Don't hold that against her.
Can she dance?

Well, sure.
I'll let you know.

Hey, No.15, come on, honey.

No.15! You, come on forward, honey.

All right, everybody here,
spread out. Find a place.

Everybody else back off. I only want
to see the people I'm focusing on.

15, come forward, honey.
Don't be shy. Come on, darling.

There you go. We're going to do
the combination one more time.

And this next time,
when you get to the end,

I want everybody to improvise.
I'd like to see

if you can really dance.
Got it? All right?

Music, please.

I figured I'd find you here.

I don't think this is going to work,
Sam.

Yes, it is, Al.
She's already made two cuts.

She should be on a bus to Wyoming.
You haven't seen her dance.

But I've seen
what Ziggy's predicting.

Sometimes, Ziggy's wrong.
Yeah, well, maybe he's wrong,

but maybe you're
getting too involved to know what's right for her.

I hope not, Al.

That's good. Come on, now. Work it.

Give me something.
Let me see it. And dance.

Hey, that's it! Let me see it!

Work it!
Hey, come on, honey. Dance!

What are you doing? Hey!

Turn off that music.

What's wrong?
Why did you stop dancing?

Hey, hey, hey. Wait, wait, wait.

Come here, come here, come here.
It's OK.

What's the matter?
Why did you stop dancing?

I'm sorry.
No, no. It's OK. It's OK.

What's wrong?
Nothing's wrong.

She's deaf.
Deaf?

Can she understand
anything I'm saying at all?

Yes, if you speak clearly and slowly
and to her.

You didn't understand
my instructions?

Did you know this was
a professional audition?

Oh, here it comes.

You are such a lovely dancer.

And I'd really like
to give you a shot.

But we move very, very fast here

and I just...don't think
I have time to give you

the attention you would need.

I'm sorry.

Look, this is my fault.

I should've told you.

I don't think
it would've made much difference.

All right, people?
Take a few minutes...

You were right, Al?
Sometimes, I hate being right.

Where did she go?

Will you get this thing?
I ain't got all day. Wait, wait.

Please, don't take my home.
Please don't take it.

Are you kidding? Your plates are
out of state. Your tags are expired.

And you've got $120 worth of parking
tickets. My stuff's in there.

Well, cough up $120 and it's yours.
What?

You want to go to jail?

Please, let me take my things out.

Now, get it out of here, Charlie.
Let's go.

All right. All right.

Where have you been? I've been
looking everywhere for you.

You found me a dance job?
Well, not exactly.

Um...you see, a friend of mine,
who's visiting town,

needs a date for tonight.

Now, I promised him
that I'd show him a good time,

but uh...I'm kinda stuck here.

I-I don't need a date, I need a job.

This is a job.

Look, he just wants
to have a little fun.

How much for this 'little fun'?

I think he's good for at least 300.

Maybe more, if he likes you.

Come on, it's just this one time

just to tide you over
till you get a dance gig, OK?

Now, here's a little loan.

You go and buy yourself a nice dress
and some new shoes.

I don't want it.

Well, you can't go on a date
dressed like that.

Come on.

(PHONE RINGS)
Oh.

Hello. Mario's Hideaway.

Yes. Yes, we do private parties.

Hi, Rod.
Hey. Have you seen Diana?

I'm sorry. Could
you just hold a minute, please?

Um...no. Why?
Mario doesn't have her working

at one of his parties, does he?
No.

You and Mario made a deal. You're
more important to him than she is.

If you see her, tell her
I'm looking for her. Sure.

Otto?
Yo, Rod.

Have you seen Diana?
The little cocktail waitress?

Yeah, she was talking to Valerie
and then she split.

Tonight?
Yeah, a minute ago.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Yes, I am.

Am what?
Yes, I am wondering

if you know what Valerie's
last name is. Yeah, Nevski.

Why? Are you thinking
about hitting on her too?

Good. Good. Goodbye.

Where's Diana?
You just asked me that.

And you lied to me.
No, I didn't.

Yes, you did. No!
Well, you didn't tell me the truth.

Basically, that's the same thing.
She was upset and needed a job.

My guess is
you're probably the last person she'd want to know about that.

I was trying to help her.

Yeah, right
into the horizontal tango.

You gave her a job?
It was more like a date.

Uh-oh. How about this? In '77,
Irma La Douce here was arrested

for -
Prostitution.

That's a sleazy word for dating.

The kid was broke and scared.

I was doing her a favour.

I'm not going to judge
how you live your life, Valerie.

But if Diana does this,
it will destroy hers.

I'm not ashamed about what I do.

Well, maybe not.

But if you could go back to the
first time, would you do it again?

Ziggy's got a fix on Diana.

The Park Grove Hotel. Room 1203.

How come I never get a nice guy?

(BANGING ON DOOR)

Yeah, yeah. Just leave the tray.

What the hell do you want?
Diana.

She's not here.
She's in the bathroom.

Yes, she is.
You want me to call security?

So they can put you under the jail?
Good idea.

I'm sure they'd like to hear about
an unregistered minor in your room.

19 is a legal adult
in New York City.

Breaking and entering is a felony.

Unless you want me to call security,
dance yourself out of here.

Call 'em.

Yes, give me security.

Don't do this.

What I do is NONE of your business!

You made me go to an audition.
I fail.

And you can't fix my life.

You're right, OK?

But I'm going to be gone soon -
maybe tonight

or tomorrow or the next day.

I'm going to be out of your life,
but you're not.

One time, OK?
Yeah, until the next time

when you need food
or a place to sleep again.

You sell yourself every night.
I sell an illusion.

It's not me.

This is all I have left.

No, no. That's not true.

You've...you've got your talent.
This is the only talent they want

from a deaf girl.

That's a lie.

That's a lie, and you know it.

This man
is harassing the young lady.

When I asked him to leave,
he refused.

You lying dog!

Is that true?
Come on, Diana. Just say no.

Miss?

Miss?

No. No, he's not.

He's my friend
and I was just leaving.

Attagirl!

Everything's gonna be OK. You'll see.

(MUSIC PLAYS)

Very nice. I like it. I like it.

Keep going.

Very nice. Rod The Bod.
Sorry to bother you.

I sure didn't expect to see you
after what happened yesterday.

I'm so sorry. Listen.
Everybody deserves a second chance.

Absolutely.
Including Diana.

Look, even if she was
the best dancer there,

I still couldn't have taken her.
Because she's deaf?

I'm a running a professional
dance company, not a social service.

You saw her dance.
You couldn't follow my instructions.

Because she couldn't see your lips.
If you'd be more aware

when you were talking to her,
there'd be no problem.

The hardest thing in the world is to
get a dance company off the ground.

Being black didn't make it
any easier.

All these people are my best.

Look...somebody gave you a chance,
didn't they?

Yeah.
That's all Diana wants.

Just a chance.

♪ CHERYL LYNN: Daybreak

Jeez, Sam, you weren't kidding.
She's really terrific.

(APPLAUSE)

What are you slapping me for?
For almost letting her get away.

I got to tell you, I've never been
so glad I was wrong.

She makes it?
Oh, yeah, she makes it big.

In three years,
she becomes Joanna's lead dancer

and she finishes high school,
which is the important part.

You did it, Sam.
No, no, she did it.

I was so wrong to turn you away.

Then, you teach me?
Maybe we'll teach each other.

Well, Sam,
uh...I think it's time to -

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

It's one of the favourite songs

And that's Feelings...Feelings.

Yes, well,

Come on, Chuck.

Do it for me.
