[Computer]

Vital signs elevated.

Stress level three.

I lost him.

You have to send me back.

- There's a glitch.

- Travis, program me for relaunch now!

What do you want me to do, boss?

A relaunch with no rest cycle

could kill him.

I talked to him.

He's out of his mind.

You've gotta send me back.

If you don't, I'm dead.

[Sighs]

It's your ass, kid.

Launch him.

Give me a four-day window.

Commence relaunch.

Forty-five seconds.

Cellular cohesion stable.

78.7 percent.

All right.

Let's hook him up.

Cellular cohesion 51.6 percent.

Doc? I already had the shot.

You know what? I could give a sh*t

if you take the shot.

You wanna get yourself turned

inside out, splattered all over

the f***in' tube? Be my guest.

Am I doing this or what?

Thank you.

[Grunts]

- Damn!

- A**hole.

[Computer]

- Six, five...

- What happened to her?

- She's been that way

since her husband was killed.

- Her husband? Doc's not married.

- He was killed in the war, Ryan.

- What war?

- Good luck.

- O'Rourke, what war?

- Initiating time phase... now.

- [Computer] Time phase...

[Ryan Screaming]

[Grunting]

- Where in the hell did you come from?

- Where's Brandon Miller?

- Who?

- Brandon Miller. He's been locked

up here for two years.

I don't know a Brandon Miller,

and I've been here for six years.

As a matter of fact,

who in the hell are you?

[Male Computer Voice]

Stress level seven.

Sorry, kiddo.

You're going out again.

- What happened to your eye?

- What? [Laughs]

He wants to know

what happened to my eye.

Miller just jumped.

September 19, 1881, Springfield, Texas,

wherever the hell that is.

- My family's from Springfield.

- What the hell is your family

doing in Texas in 1881?

The Anderson side... Jason and Rose...

but that's a long story.

You better get your ass back out there.

Prepare for immediate relaunch.

- Oh, no. Not this sh*t again.

- I've given you a new watch.

If Miller jumps again,

you'll be able to lock on and follow him

as long as you're able to catch his time wake.

The more wake you catch,

the closer you'll be to him.

If you catch the tail end, you'll

be miles apart. Shoot him.

[Grunts]

Where's Doc?

Well, you should know, Ryan.

You arrested her for T.E.C.

Code violation 40, section eight.

Time travel with the intent

to alter the future.

She was sentenced to death for trying

to save her husband in the war.

- What war?

- I know you don't want to think about it,

because your parents were killed in it.

My dad died in a bathroom at his university

when I was 11. He had a massive aneurysm.

My mother lives in Georgetown.

I had dinner with her two nights ago.

Miller's altered history

so that he was never arrested.

Jeffers was never born, so we never

caught Miller trying to assassinate Hitler.

Who is Jeffers and Hitler?

If this time line is historically correct,

then why am I after Brandon Miller?

You killed his wife in a jump

in Germany in 1940.

What you were doing in Germany

in 1940, we have no idea.

- [Computer] Two, one.

- I stopped Sasha but not Miller.

- Stress level maximum...

- Why research time travel if not

to go back and right the wrongs?

Whose moral guidelines are we

working with then? Yours? Mine?

[Man]

Here you go.

Attagirl, Mary.

[Chattering]

[Woman]

- Don't let it be too long.

- All right now.

[Sasha]

Miller.

Buy a girl a drink?

Sasha?

[Woman]

How 'bout that drink, cowboy?

Somethin' the matter?

You have a smile like my wife.

- So you're married.

- Oh, she died a few years ago.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Don't be.

She'll be back soon.

Uh-huh.

[Snorts, Whinnies]

[Woman Shouting]

[Man]

We oughta be back around

in about an hour.

Know where a man can get a hot meal

and a room at an honest price?

Yeah, the Road To Ruin.

Got good steak,

a couple rooms upstairs,

but the whiskey's too damn expensive.

Much obliged.

Hey, let's go.

End of line. Come on.

Oh, boy.

- What can I do for you, neighbor?

- I'll need a room for the night.

Well, you come to the right place.

How 'bout a whiskey?

Uh, no, thank you.

Just the room.

If you ain't drinkin',

you ain't stayin'.

Well, I... guess

I'll have a whiskey.

Good idea.

[Clears Throat]

Uh-huh.

Hey, cowboy.

Buy a girl a drink?

No, thanks.

How 'bout you, stranger?

Buy a pretty little girl a drink.

Howdy.

We don't serve your kind in here.

- What kind's that?

- What kind is that?

Well, I could tell you, Chinaman,

but I might just have to kill you.

So, if I were you, I would

just back out those doors...

before you buy the business end

of Ol' Smokey, here.

Go on. Get outta here.

Jim doesn't mess around. He'd just

as soon kill ya as look at ya.

My name's Rose. You go around the back,

I'll get ya somethin' to drink...

somethin' to eat, if you like.

- Just go on.

- Rose?

[Horse Screams]

[Man]

Jedediah, get outta that barn

before I'm whoopin' you!

Lord! Where were we, friend?

I need a room for the night.

Name's Anderson. Jason Anderson.

I'm just gonna get the register,

Mr. Anderson, and we'll get you

all fixed up.

You drink up. Come on.

[Ticking]

[Chiming]

- Jason Anderson.

- Hey!

I told you to clear your

hind quarters outta here,

and generally I do not

give two warnings!

What the hell?

[Screaming, Shouting]

[Screams]

[Man]

Get down! Get down now!

[Screaming Continues]

Nice, Ryan.

[Gasping]

[Screams]

[Sighs]

[Coughs]

[Coughing]

Can't believe this.

It's 1929...

and they're still tryin'

to bust my balls like this.

I want that bastard dead.

You understand me? Dead.

Hi. Would you like a table?

Francis Chan?

No, it's still Francis Anderson.

- For now.

- How sweet.

[Screams]

[Screaming]

[Grunts]

[Shouting In Chinese]

[Techno]

[Chattering]

What the hell, man?

Dude, I am telling you the air opened

up and it flew right into the wall.

[Laughing]

Man, it was just...

Yo, man. Watch where

you're going, huh?

[Ryan]

Mom? Dad?

That is just so wrong.

Hey! Do I know you?

No. Well, yes.

It's a long story.

Where's Josh?

Uh, he went upstairs

to the bar for drinks.

You stay here.

Josh! Josh Chan!

Josh!

Josh! Honey, are you okay?

That is him.

That is the dude!

All right, man.

That's enough.

Ryan.

Come and get me.

Up here.

Gotcha.

[Screams]

[Young Ryan]

Daddy. Wake up.

Ryan? Can you hear me?

We need to get him to

a treatment room right now.

Doc? I thought you were dead.

Somehow you were able to punch

out before you fell unconscious.

- Ryan, what happened?

- Oh, please, O'Rourke, leave him alone.

Can't you see he's been shot?

He doesn't even know where he is.

- We lost Miller. What happened?

- We had him in 1988, and he just...
