- Quantum Leap was an experimental
time travel program years away from being tested.
Why did you leap? - I don't remember anything.
- Your name is Dr. Ben Song.
You're a time traveler leaping from life to life
trying to put right what once went wrong.
I'm Addison Augustine.
- Addison. You're the woman I love.
- Richard Martínez is Leaper X.
Another leaper from the future
traveling through time just like Ben.
- I remember why I leapt in the first place.
It's to save you.
- All I know is Martínez is gonna try
and kill you in the past.

It just--it disappeared.
There it is again. Look, it's like--
um, it's like the quantum accelerator is confused.
- Because it wasn't designed for traveling to the future.
[soft dramatic music]
- This shouldn't be possible. [grunts]
- It isn't strictly possible.
The accelerator's already trying to pull you back
into the past, but you have to fight it, okay?
We don't have a lot of time.
- [groans] Time for what?
And did you say nuclear winter?
Are we at war? - Amongst other things.
It's not that great up there.
I'm the only one from Quantum Leap who survived.
I could barely find someone for you to leap into.

You're alone.

- Oh, come on. - I don't.
Ben told me his final destination
is in the past.
I don't know why he made a pitstop in the future,
but he can't stay there for very much longer.
- This doesn't make any sense. How is this our future?
- The government blames Quantum Leap
for society collapsing.
- But we help people. We right wrongs.
- It doesn't matter.
Quantum Leap always worked in service
of the mysterious and beautiful ways
in which human beings are connected,
but all the government sees is a scapegoat
for their bad policies and poor choices.
Time travel changes things,
so they've somehow convinced themselves
that we changed things for the worse,

on one last mission to the past.
- Martínez. [groans]
[body whooshes] [grunts]
- They want to undo everything
that we did here at Quantum Leap
by killing the person who leaped in 2022.
- Me. - Addison.
In the original timeline, Addison leaped.
Now, when I went back to warn you,
you leaped instead. - To save her.
- I was almost too late.
After I warned you and I leaped back here,
they destroyed our quantum accelerator.
- What?
- So they think they can just play with time.
Well, I figured out a way to beat them at their own game.
- [coughs]
What is this? - It's a code.
When I told you to leap, I didn't have all the pieces
that you would need to defeat Martínez in the end.
We needed time, so while you leaped from decade to decade,
I worked on finishing this code and waited for you
to come and meet me in your future
so that I could give you the final piece.
Took me ten years to finish it, but it was worth it.
It's a fail-safe, and you're gonna need it.
- [groans] - Oh, God.
- What's happening?
- The machine is pulling you back.
Just memorize the code! - But what does it--
- Memorize it! We're running out of time!
- Uh...

Done. - You sure?
All of it? - Photographic memory.

I'll know what to do with it. - What about you?
I can't just leave you alone is this awful place.

You just never can stay on mission.
- What? - Just stop Martínez, okay?

Remember, we need each other.
All right, that's the only way it's gonna work.

Oh, but before I do, tell Ben not to change
anything in the past. - Why?
- Because if he alters his own timeline,
it could create a paradox or erase someone from existence
or make it so that you two never fall in love.

Why would you help him leap
into his own body if those were the risks?

It was always a risk. We have no idea the degree
to which Ben just altered the future.

The cheat code should bring Ben back
to the beginning of this day in 2018
effectively correcting every mistake
that he made on this leap. Your bad date, all of it.

in the past, this'll bring him back.
- No, no, no, if Ben dies in the past,
he's gone, and the same goes for Martínez.

You know that video game that you couldn't beat in 2018.

to beat on your own. You need another player.
It's--
we need each other. - What?
- We need each other.
It wasn't just a nice sentiment from future Ian.
It was an instruction. - I need another player.
- We have to enter the code together.
- Who? - Me and Ian.
Ian from Ben's time. - Okay, how?
- We're back to where we started,
where it should've ended.
But you just had to keep following me.
I admire your faith in the machine,
I do, but even you have to see.
Look where it put you, and look where it put me.
