Previously on Timeless...

Jiya, where did you go?

They're premonitions of the future,

and lately they've been of your future.

Rufus, you're going to die.

Jessica is alive.

I found troubling files on the Rittenhouse computers.

Is that Jessica?

She's my wife, I've known her since high school.

Is there something you're not telling me?

I'm pregnant.

Jiya, what are you doin'?

Stop. I'm so sorry.

Jessica!

-Where's the Lifeboat? -Where's Jiya?

-What happened? -Wyatt!

It's Jessica, she...

She got my gun. Kidnapped Jiya. Took the Lifeboat.

-She what now? -Wait, wait.

-Wait, hold on. -So, Jessica is Rittenhouse?

Rittenhouse has the Lifeboat?

What did she do with Jiya?

Anything, Rufus?

No, nothing. I can't find them.

They might have disabled the tracker.

Is there another way to locate the Lifeboat?

The whole system's down. There's nothing!

Hey! We'll find her.

Right?

We asked you.

I asked you to tell us if she'd said or did anything

to make you think she was Rittenhouse.

He didn't do anything wrong. He didn't suspect anything.

I did.

What?

-Her brother. -He's a mechanic in Hayward.

We did a background check on him, he came up clean.

Yes, but in our original timeline,

he died of leukemia when they were kids.

What?

But here, Jessica said that he was saved by some sort of stem cell therapy,

which...

I assume was not around in the 1980s.

So, what, you just lied?

Why didn't you tell us?

Because I wanted to figure it out first.

I told her she had to leave the bunker. I was trying to do the right thing.

And if your sister came back would you assume that she was your sister

or would you think she's some sort of a traitor?

I'm sorry.

It's a little late for that.

Jeez! We...

We had those Rittenhouse photos, and we didn't do jack squat!

And now Jiya's gone!

There's photos? No one told me that.

No one trusted that you wouldn't try to kill her.

-Hindsight, would that've been so bad? -Watch your mouth.

Okay, we're just trying to figure out what happened, Wyatt.

Let me just sum this up.

Jessica was screwing you, she lied about being pregnant,

and then she wrapped you around her finger just long enough

so she could screw us, too.

-Guys, come on. -Wyatt, stand down.

Wyatt.

Wyatt.

-Lucy. -No, no.

I'm guessing that's not a One A Day.

Something to help you sleep.

You've got a lot to learn, and we need you well-rested.

Come on, Jessica, we're friends.

We watched an entire season of Vanderpump Rules together.

They won't hurt you, Jiya. Just cooperate.

Take it...

or Doug will make you.

Every terrible thing Lucy said about you

doesn't even begin to capture what a raging psycho you are.

Open.

Rest now.

You have got a lot of work ahead.

To Jessica and the capture of their time machine.

It's total victory.

We can accelerate our plans now.

Expand our actions.

How's my daughter?

Stubborn. Strong-willed.

I can see where she gets it.

And she's in love with Wyatt, I can tell you that.

Her taste in men.

That's my husband you're talking about.

No offense.

What's this?

Emma.

Isn't it amazing?

Jessica brought us the Lifeboat.

Along with one of their pilots, Jiya.

Great.

You want me to kill her?

Why would we have you kill her?

Like Jessica just said, she's a pilot.

So, now we have a backup in case something happens to you.

I thought Jessica was supposed to gather intel,

then take them all out when the opportunity presented itself,

not commit grand theft auto.

But this is better, isn't it?

Now we have both machines.

And they have none.

Why wasn't I consulted?

Should we have?

I thought you relied on my advice.

Of course, I do, don't be cross.

Look, I know that the two of you are...

What? Dating, I suppose?

And that Nicholas holds you in the highest regard.

But we visited some of our ancestors last week.

And it reminded us that Rittenhouse is blood.

It's heritage. Legacy.

But don't get me wrong, we do appreciate all the help you've given us.

So, thank you.

Yeah, of course.

You're welcome.

Rufus, I'm so sorry.

I don't wanna hear "sorry."

I wanna hear you fixed this.

I will.

You are so worried about your stupid Lucy-Jessica soap opera,

that you forgot that there are other people here.

Who matter to each other,

who love each other.

If anything happens to her, Wyatt...

I don't think I can ever forgive you.

Couldn't pass out on the bed, huh?

Okay.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Stop!

Connor, what is that?

ALERT: JUMP DETECTED.

Oh, my God.

It's the Lifeboat. It's back online.

Jiya has escaped.

She's coming back.

She's here.

What happened? Where is she?

Lifeboat's gone she didn't stick the landing.

What do you mean? Where is she?

We don't know.

She's lost in time.

Now, we don't know anything for certain.

But, we think, we hope,

Jiya escaped from Rittenhouse and was trying to get home.

-But she didn't make it. -Why?

I don't know. Piloting error.

-She's better than that. -Maybe there's damage to the Lifeboat.

Regardless, there's a very good chance that Jiya is alive in the past.

And if she is, she knows what to do. She'll find a way to communicate with us.

-How? -Through history.

Newspapers. Advertisements.

Large public events, somewhere she might show her face.

That's why Rufus is running a facial and text recognition search right now.

Through all of American history?

We're starting nearest to us in space and time and working our way out.

What can we do to help?

She's gonna try to communicate in places she thinks we'll look.

Think back to conversations you've had with her,

books you've seen she read, games she played,

anything that'll give us a clue help narrow the search.

-I found her. -Oh, my God.

Jiya's been obsessed with this book

ever since she had those visions of the Golden Gate Bridge.

"San Francisco, Chinatown. 1888."

That's only like twenty miles away from here and a hundred and thirty years.

But still...

So, how do we get there without the Lifeboat?

Hey, wait. Is that... that's not Chinese, is it?

No, it's not Chinese.

It's Klingon.

She's sending us a message in Klingon.

You read Klingon?

Why am I asking that, of course you read Klingon.

It's a series of numbers.

GPS coordinates. She must be trying to telling us where the Lifeboat is.

Do you think she left it somewhere for us to find it? 130 years later?

Wait, it also says something else. It says...

"Don't come."

Well, the hell with that.

Dude, this is exact dead center of nowhere.

Well, we're here.

Are you sure this is the right spot?

Yeah, these are the correct coordinates.

This is crazy.

All it'd take is one hiker to find the thing.

Report it. Smash it. Then I don't...

We're gonna need a generator.

Well, battery's shot.

Motherboard's literally got a bullet hole in it.

No wonder she couldn't get home.

-Hey. -Dammit!

-You okay? -I'm fine.

But, you know, it could be worse.

How could this be worse?

Well...

She stayed water tight.

These circuit boards over 130 years old.

The wiring, the electromagnets!

We've been at this all day, and meanwhile, she could be...

This is hopeless.

Aren't you the one that told me to stow my personal bollocks

and just keep turning a wrench?

But it's Jiya.

Yes, I know.

Now shut up. And keep turning that wrench.

We're engineers, after all, you and I.

That's how we've always muddled through, isn't it?

You're right.

Thank you.

I thought I told you to shut up.

Do you wanna do the honors?

Now that is some good old-fashioned Mason Industries craftsmanship!

Incredible.

The Mothership,

went back to August 26, 1888. San Francisco.

They must've chased Jiya there.

They want Jiya back. They want the Lifeboat back.

We've got to go.

She's only 78% charged.

It'll have to do.

Come on, guys.

Flynn, you're coming with us.

Don't we need to save an open seat for Jiya?

Jiya can fly you home and come back for me.

I want as much muscle as possible on this trip.

So, what's our confidence level that this 130-year-old

vine-covered machine isn't gonna make us explode into gory chunks?

-Just get in the machine. -Really?

Whose fault is all of this?

Save the fighting for the actual bad guys? Come on.

Good luck.

Only 78% charged?

They'll be fine.

We've been searching for this photo studio for over an hour. It's not here.

Look, I'm sure we'll find it. Maybe it's just not in Chinatown?

It's here. The backdrop of the photo. The decor. Clearly Chinese.

Which could be anywhere?

The Chinese weren't allowed to live anywhere else in 1888.

Forty-five thousand people crammed into twelve square blocks.

Makes the bunker sound roomy.

As far as white people were concerned, it's like the Chinese didn't even exist.

They only came here to drink, gamble, and whore.

Hey...

Hello.

Hello. Do you want a photograph?

Hello.

Do you speak English?

Good.

We're looking for the woman in this picture.

Do you recognize her?

No. We've had a lot of customers.

Of course.

Can you think very hard? It's important that we find her.

And she was here recently.

We don't know her.

See this? It says 1885.

My father took this photo three years ago.

Three years ago?

Maybe the date in the book was wrong.

Are you telling me that Jiya's been here,

by herself, without us, for three years?

How are we ever gonna find her?

Lucy!

I am so sick of this.

What have you...

Come on.

Split up.

Flynn!

You're not going anywhere near Jessica.

I'll get her.

-Mom. -Lucy.

Get a doctor. Go!

I'm here.

You think a nineteenth century doctor is gonna help me?

We just... We have to stop the bleeding.

Lucy, I was foolish to think that I could run from it.

Run from what?

It was supposed to be cancer, wasn't it?

I was selfish.

I took your sister away from you so that I could have...

We could have more time.

And look where it got us.

Rufus! Rufus, get a doctor, please.

God!

Some things can't be changed.

You told me that.

I should have told you sooner.

Told me what, Mom?

About your role in Rittenhouse.

What it could offer you...

If only I'd had the courage to raise you truthfully.

There's still so much you don't know.

About you.

Your father.

Our family.

It's okay.

It still belongs to you.

All you have to do is take it.

It's my last wish for you.

Jessica!

Whatever they're threatening you with, you don't have to listen.

We can fight them.

They didn't threaten me, Wyatt. They raised me.

What?

My brother was sick. He was dying.

There was no hope, and then Carol and Emma came to my parents with an offer,

with a miracle.

They saved him.

In exchange for what? For you?

They brought him life, Wyatt.

And they gave me purpose. They taught me everything.

They're not bad people. They're my family.

No. The Jessica I knew had a family.

Rittenhouse went back in time, and they stole her from them.

Because of me.

The Jessica you knew was a bartender. That's it.

-No. -I'm a part of something important, Wyatt.

We're going to save the world.

Why didn't you just kill us when you came into the bunker?

After I got all the intel I needed, I was going to.

But I knew if the time came, I wouldn't be able to hurt you.

Are you really pregnant?

Yes.

Am I the father?

-Yes. -Then we're your family!

I really do love you.

I wish it didn't have to be like this.

I'm sorry.

I have to protect Rittenhouse and my baby.

Do you recognize her?

They need to leave. They bring bad luck.

My father says you've brought bad luck.

He wants you to leave.

Does your father speak English at all?

No.

I'm Lucy. This is Rufus.

What's your name?

Fei.

Fei, take this, it's gold. It'll pay for the damage.

I'm very sorry.

What are you doing?

Why does the red-haired lady want to hurt Jiya?

Wait, you know who Jiya is?

Ever since we first took her photo, we've been friends.

She brings me books, sometimes.

Why didn't you say anything before?

She made me promise not to.

She says, if a black man comes asking for her, do not tell where she is.

Then why are you telling us now?

Because now Jiya's in danger from the red-haired lady with a gun.

So you know where she is?

She works at Bison's Horn saloon.

I'll take you.

-Let's go. -We should wait for Wyatt and Flynn.

I'll meet you there. I don't want to waste another minute.

Come on. Let's go.

Jiya.

-You cheating skunk! -Jiya!

My wrist! You broke my wrist!

Flash that knife again, I'll break more than that.

Excuse me.

Jiya! Excuse me.

Rufus.

Excuse me.

You were like scary tough.

-No, this isn't... -I'm sorry, we're three years late.

I wanted you to find the Lifeboat, Rufus, not me.

Didn't you read the Klingon, "Don't come"?

-What did you expect me to do? -Listen to me, that's what!

Why? What are you hiding? Do you have a hot Asian boyfriend now?

No, Rufus, you're my boyfriend.

And you. You promised not to tell.

But you're in danger.

When aren't I?

Now scoot. We'll talk later.

Emma's here. She's coming for you.

-We need to get you home. -No, I can't go home.

-Why? -Because that's how you die.

What do you mean, that's how I die?

This is the place I told you about...

where I saw your death.

It wasn't cowboys. But it was close.

See? Everyone still have spurs on their boots here.

Just like in my vision.

Holy crap.

Okay...

What about the yellow-toothed thug? Where's he?

He comes with Emma and Jessica.

He's one of their goons.

We start to leave. I hear a clock strike 7:00.

I see a gun on a chair, but I can't get to it fast enough.

Emma's goon stabs you right in the gut.

You die.

No matter what I do, I can't change it.

How do you...

Look, I've learned how to control my visions, Rufus.

How to access them.

Like Stanley, the pilot that Mason locked away.

Three years is a long time to practice.

You can't honestly want to stay here.

It doesn't really matter what I want anymore.

I can handle myself here.

That gambler almost scalped you!

Yeah, and then I broke his wrist.

You're gonna die here.

Jiya, if you're not stabbed, you'll get tuberculosis,

or shanghaied, or all of the above.

If I have to die to stop that from happening, then so be it!

Stop.

Come on. Let's find somewhere private to talk.

Where's Wyatt?

We split up.

Relax. Even I couldn't kill Wyatt if I wanted to. And I want to.

-Your mom? -She's dead.

I'm sorry, Lucy.

You know what her one great regret was?

That she didn't indoctrinate me earlier into her evil cult.

You were right.

I should've seen her for who she was sooner.

My whole life, I was blind.

Now, you want someone to blame, you should blame Wyatt

he's the idiot who brought a Rittenhouse spy into the bunker.

And what would you have done?

If Rittenhouse had brought your wife and child back from the dead.

Would you look for the hidden catch?

Or would you just be so grateful that they were back in your arms

and in your life?

You can blame Wyatt if you want...

I don't give a damn about Wyatt.

That's not why I'm here.

Why are you here?

Where's Rufus?

We found Jiya. Come on.

Screw bloodlines.

All that family, birthright, monarchy crap.

What are we, British?

You just executed our superiors.

You and I both know what we're doing.

We'll run Rittenhouse better than they ever could.

And what makes you think you won't just go home,

and the others will kill you?

Because I'm the bitch with the time machine.

Jimmy. Took you long enough. You hide the Mothership?

-Yes, ma'am. -Good.

We got work to do.

What in the bloody hell are you doing?

Knitting. Badly.

I do this every time they go on one of their trips.

You've never wondered why there are so many ugly scarves

tucked away around here?

Well.

I just don't know how you can stay so calm.

I'm not. This is how I manage my anxiety.

You should find a hobby.

I have one.

Besides drinking, I mean.

You know. There was a time of my life.

Before I met Rufus.

I lived in a mansion.

Had the exotic cars.

Different party, different woman every night.

Charming.

I knew everyone.

But didn't really know anyone.

Didn't love anyone.

And that was a good thing?

No.

But...

yes.

'Cause now, it seems as if I spend half my life worrying

that the people I love will be horribly maimed.

It's like walking around with your heart on the outside.

There's a word for that.

Panic?

Terror?

Family.

It's not a bad life.

And if I liked bed bugs? It would be amazing.

It's my friend Molly's bed.

That's Sarah's.

We're thinking of opening up our own place together.

Okay, great. You can call it, "Cheers."

Everyone'll know your name. Jiya, this is crazy!

Why? It's to save your life.

It's obviously not the life I had planned, but I'm not gonna let you die

just so I can have modern plumbing.

And you think I'm just gonna leave you here?

I can handle myself here, Rufus.

I'm not the same Jiya you knew.

Jiya!

Lucy.

Wyatt.

Hi.

Flynn.

What? No hug?

I'm practically family now.

Yeah. The creepy uncle.

We should go. Emma could be close.

Jiya said she's not leaving because I die here.

-Isn't that exactly why we should leave? -No. That's how it happens.

I start to leave and then Rufus dies.

If she stays, she dies.

Look, I'm not going to be responsible for your death, okay? I love you!

I love you! And if I die, I die!

Look, you were the one who said somethings are meant to be.

At least it'll be for a good reason. If it's for you, then it'll be worth it.

No! I can't live with that, Rufus!

Stop it! Both of you stop!

Nobody is dying, and we're getting out of here.

-You don't understand. -I do understand.

None of us have anything anymore. Except each other.

That's how we've survived this long.

No matter how bad it gets, we're together.

We take out Rittenhouse together, we're going home together.

Are we clear?

She's right.

Count me in.

That was, like, better than the speech in Rudy.

I'm not leaving.

-Oh, my God. -Just go, okay? Before it's too late.

Jiya.

Where is she?

Oh, Lucy.

Stay back. Stay back.

Sorry about your mom.

That is if you even care. Her being a Rittenbitch and all.

I'm in charge now.

I think you'll find me enlightened compared to Nicholas.

Come out, come out wherever you are.

Is there another way out?

The rear exit, but the only way there is through that door there.

All right, look, it's you and me.

We cover everyone, then make a run for it.

Lucy, you go straight for the Lifeboat.

Get them home safe,

and then come back for me and Flynn, all right?

I do not agree to leave with Rufus. I do not agree to leave with Rufus.

Jiya!

I can't. I can't come with you.

Please, Jiya.

Now!

Jiya.

Rufus.

-Cover me. -Got it.

Don't hit Jessica.

-Seriously? -Please.

She's carrying my kid!

They're gone.

Rufus, don't.

You did it.

See?

You saved me.

You're alive.

You're alive.

Guys, we should get going before they come back.

Are you ready to go home?

Yeah.

Rufus!

Rufus.

-No. -Rufus, you're okay?

No, no, no.

-You'll be fine. -No, no, no.

Rufus, stay with me.

Lucy!

Wyatt!

Can you move with that thing?

Sure as hell can try.

Rufus. Rufus. Look at me.

You're gonna be fine. You're gonna be fine.

You're gonna be fine. Just relax.

Rufus.

Rufus!

You okay?

Rufus.

Rufus.

Rufus!

No.

No.

Stop!

What do you do to someone who's taken everyone that you love?

My mother, my sister, Rufus.

Lucy.

Please.

Poor Princess Lucy.

Everything handed to you but it still wasn't enough.

I didn't take anything away from you

that you hadn't already willingly abandoned.

Lucy.

Lucy.

Hey.

Hey, hey.

She's gone. She's gone.

Flynn.

I can't.

I can't.

Jiya!

You're alive.

She doesn't look a day older.

What happened to you?

Emma.

Hey, Jiya.

Rufus?

Oh, my God.

-How? -Doesn't matter how. He's gone.

-Right, well then, we'll get him back. -We can't.

Yes, we bloody can.

They can't go back to a time they already existed.

We'll send another team.

It takes a year to train a pilot.

I'll fly the thing myself.

You don't know how.

I know enough to take my chances.

You know what, Connor?

You wanna go back and get yourself killed like Rufus did?

Go ahead. I don't care anymore.

I told you he'd die if I came home.

Why didn't you listen?

Jiya.

Jiya.

Please tell me I don't have to worry about you

losing yourself in your head.

I can't lose you too.

I've searched everywhere for him.

In time, in space.

He's just gone.

I'm never gonna see Rufus again.

He's dead there in 1888.

He's alone and abandoned.

No one to identify him, no one to bury him,

no one to grieve him.

And even though I knew it was coming, I couldn't stop it.

This is my fault.

-All of it. -No, it's not, Wyatt.

I had promised Rufus that I wouldn't let anything happen to him.

I was supposed to protect him.

And then I messed everything up.

Just like I did with us.

It's true...

you did mess things up with us.

But Rufus is not on you.

We all stood together.

He knew the risks, and he accepted them willingly.

You brought Jiya home. Safe.

That's what mattered most to Rufus.

I love you, Lucy.

You don't have to say it back.

You don't have to say anything.

I just should've said it a long time ago and I didn't, so I'm saying it now.

Rufus wanted me to admit it.

I know that wherever he is...

if he's watching,

he's saying, "It's about damn time."

I can't believe he's gone.

What the hell.

Oh, my God.

What is that?

Is this another Lifeboat?

But it looks upgraded.

-What's going on, Connor? -No idea.

Well, what are you waitin' on?

You guys wanna get Rufus back or what?
