I can't control when I go,
but I seem to come back to the present when I finish some chapter in the lives of the people
that I'm tracking.
- We used to get along better. - We were like brothers, yeah.
- What happened? - I don't know. Something about a girl.
Katie?
Oh, my god.
- Where did you get all that? - It's dylan mcclain'S.
- Where'd you go, Dan? - I got sick. Vertigo or something.
What the hell's going on here?
- Jack, this is a family matter. - Yeah, and he'S my brother
jack, we have a problem, and it's serious, and it's personal.
Right now, I just need you to trust me, okay?
Katie, I gotta leave!
Katie!
- You're Dan Vasser. - Yes, sir.
I'm Elliot Langley from lawrence Livermore.
Time travel's impossible.
No, just not proven.
Michael.
Michael!
It's a bad idea!
- It's safe. - No, it's not.
Shut up!
Michael.
it's too much fuel.
michael!
If you're scared, then leave.
Yeah, run away, little wuss.
You're gonna blow the whole place up.
Hey! Hey!
Hey
Get off me. I need to get my dad.
Just tell me what's going on.
He left us to watch the garage. He's gonna die.
- Who is? - My brother.
- Show me. - It's gonna blow up my dad's garage.
- What is? - It's up there!
- What is? - We made our own rocket fuel.
It was an experiment.
He won't listen. Michael!
Nice going. Who'd you tell?
The standard proportion is 50 grams powder per 40 millimeters diameter.
Stay there!
But he's using 250 grams.
- You're using 250 grams, Michael!! - I know. Shut up!
It's like on the space shuttle.
They don't know what happened on the space shuttle.
- Is that thing...? - It's safe.
No, it's not. With an improper thrust-compression ratio?
- You don't know squat. - It'll blow it out and not up.
Get outta here. Get away from there, Michael.
What's-your-name, little brother, get back. It'll blow.

- eek! - Don't worry, mom. It's me.
Oh, you scared me.
What do you have there, sweetie?
- I was looking for my candy bag. - Uh-huh.
- And you found this? - Where's dad?
He stepped out.
Does this mean we're rich?
not exactly. This is not real.
- Not real? - No, it's like play money.
- Can I play with it? - No. No.
I mean...
- trick-or- treaters, mom. - Yes. Great.
- Let's go get 'em - I know a trick dad could do to scare people.
Oh, yeah? What's that?
- Turn invisible. - Honey...
listen. That's our little secret, right?
Okay? Just like the money.
Remember. It's not polite to talk about money.
Oh, god.
- Trick or treat, hombres! - Come on in.
There's a Dangerous desperado holing up in here!
Can't be too careful.
Trick or treat!
What did you want....
Oh look at ****
Okay, you want this right?
Oh, I just want to take one home with me.
You can take this one.
- I'm kidding. - Where's Dan?
Oh, he went out to get some ice. He'll be back any minute.
Bye, guys. Happy halloween!
Hey, Jack, Theresa, you guys, you should probably go ahead and...
take Zack. He's been anxious to go.
No, I'm not.
How's Dan's vertigo?
It's coming along. How's my mail?
- hey! - Trick or treat.
Here you go. Okay, one at a time.
Okay. No more than two.
Skunk, that's three.
I'm not a skunk. I'm roadkill.
maybe we should take Zack.
Not without me. Hey.
Hey, Theresa. Very nice.
Thank you.
- You ready? - Yeah!
Okay. Now...
- woody? - Oh, yeah.
- Hey, I'll get the... - whoa, whoa. Wait.
- You got a piece of glass. - Huh?
you'll cut yourself.
Thanks. Coming!
- Hey. - Trick or treat?!
I saved this kid Michael's life, so I'm probably gonna meet him again.
When I do, I want to be prepared.
- With dylan mcclain's ransom money. - That's the idea.
So you can't spend it here because it's marked.
Yeah, traceable.
It's from the past, so it needs to be spent there.
Well, aren't they more likely to be tracing it back there?
I don't stick around long enough to find out.
You're bulging a little, honey.
- You might want to drop a thousand. - Yeah?
Hey, um, those guys called back about the roof.
Oh, yeah. And?
Their estimate was just as high as the other guy'S.
- Wh-what are you saying? - I don't know.
Are you suggesting that we use this money to pay for the roof?
No. I'm...
I don't know. I'm just having a discussion,
but that's why I hate having it here, because, when it is...
you're tempted to spend it.
That and people could find it.
Like seven-year-old boys who aren't very good at keeping secrets.
He shouldn't need to keep secrets.
That's why I'm getting rid of it in the past.
Can't we hide it in the attic,
- where kids can't find it? - Yeah, when I get home.
- Where you going? - I have a lunch.
You look nice. Who is he?
Very funny.
I didn't tell him it was you.
- Why? - He'll get mad.
Yeah, he is the jealous kind.
He hates to share me.
no, my going back to work threatens him.
Oh, Dan seems more evolved than that.
No, it's not that. It's just...
you know, there have been layoffs at the paper.
- So? - So, will there be more?
He's safe. For now.
As long as I'm around.
So you want to get back in tv?
I'm thinking about it, yeah.
- Okay. - Yeah.
And you know grant hauser at kryl, right?
I can give him a call, but...
boy, if they don't remember you.
- Miss Vasser? - Yeah.
- Oh, come on. Let me get this. - No, your paper can't afford it.
- There's a problem with your card. - Really?
- How can that...? - It's not going through.
- Looks like i am getting this. - Oh, no, hugh.
Sorry.
Katie, talk to Dan.
You guys shouldn't be keeping secrets.
Well, I'll tell him tonight.
Uh, neighbor saw him blow up a toy rocket back in '86.
I have a first and last name, not much else.
Okay, Michael kowalchuk wrote a letter to the editor.
Gas prices too high, blames the big oil companies...
- going out on a limb. - Yeah, that's a perennial.
Okay, here's the kid I remember.
Michael kowalchuk, age 17, steals a car, leads police on a three-hour chase.
This was in '89. I wrote it up as a human interest piece.
Now, his father was an immigrant, owned his own garage.
Used to smack the kids around.
- Old school. - Yeah.
Too bad siberia wasn't available.
Judge gave the kid three years in juvie, but...
considering his old man, I think that jail might've been a better deal.
A kid with a troubled past is facing a troubled future.
Anything else?
I never did a followup, but you might want to check california correctional.
- Repeat offender profile? - Yeah.
So you had another thing, a letter combination?
G-f-n-g and an "O."
"O" with a diagonal line through it.
No. Nothing on that one. Could be a gang tag.
Maybe you could talk to a street source, someone who knows gangs.
I'll do that.
- Hey, question. - Sure.
Did Elliot Langley stop by last week, a scientist?
Yeah. Why?
What did he want?
Why do you want to know?
All right, he was...
helping me with my book.
Oh, so now you're working on your book on my dime?
He dropped in unannounced. He stayed for ten minutes.
You know Elliot Langley?
I knew that he was a scientist, had some oddball ideas...
and he worked at, uh, thurn-tippett before he went to livermore.
Your book...
it's not going to be about that serial bomber a couple years ago, is it?
Serial bomber?
Never mind.
Hey, maybe between chapters for your book, a news item for the paper.
Uh, how about a coming-of-age story?
Car thief tries to turn his life around?
Sounds breathtakingly dull.
- I didn't say that it ended well. - Good.
hey, come here.
Run, run! Run.
- Hey, hey! Whoa, whoa! - Back off!
I got a knife.
Why, you forget your keys?
I told you this was a stupid idea.
- You're a lousy lookout. - I didn't want to be a lookout.
I didn't want to do any of this.
Hey.
He's that guy.
He saved you when the rocket blew up.
I live around here. Come on.
- Let's get you home. - No!
Don'T. My dad will kill him, Please.
He says Michael's useless.
He didn't ask, motormouth.
He says you can't raise a teenager in america.
He'd take us all back to the ukraine if he could,
- except the communists are gonna be there forever. - Don't bet the over.
Listen to me.
Something tells me your dad's wrong.
You're not useless.
There's gotta be something you're good at.
Cars.
Fixing them or stealing them?
There's a '69 chevy a guy's getting ready to sell.
My dad can't fix it, but mike can.
- Mike's really good. - Shut up!
It's a camaro.
- Pebble beige. - For how much?
- The guys says he'll sell it for 200 bucks. - Oh, yeah?
- Buy it for me. - Whoa.
Here's an extra $300.
Get it back to cherry.
In a year, if you're as good as he says, I'll pay you $3,000 for it.
- If not, or if you don't see me again... - what?
Well...
you can keep it.
Who are you?
Uh.. you...
- better get outta here. - Go. Go.
What are you doing?
My brother'S.
Really?
Candy-apple red.
There's that radar detector he tried to hide under the dash.
You remember it?
He still owns it, what, 20 years from now?
It's my old neighborhood.
I grew up here.
- Feels like you're off course. - Why?
'Cause I'm here.
What's doing this to us, Livia?
I don't know.
I just go with it now and try to adapt.
Well, I want to know. I want answers.
How you doing about gathering stuff?
I've got a cell that works from '95 on.
Still working on old ids.
How about relevant currency?
That, that is not a problem.
Come on!
Come on.
- Wait. - Come on, Danny.
- Is that...? - Yeah, that's my brother.
Come on, Danny.
- That'S... - oh, my god.
That's you.
Get in the car, Danny.
It's stupid to be out this late. Mom's worried.
- So what? - Don't be such A...
- you shouldn't have sold dad's cameras. - That's what's been bugging you?
- What are you looking at? - Is that a problem?
Come on.
He's supercop always.
Is this how you want to spend the rest of you life,
playing donkey kong or frogger?
Exterminator.
- Danny. - What?
He's not coming back, okay?
Dad's not coming home.
Come on.
I want to go home.
Can I drive?
What do you think?
he never let me drive.
- Dan? - Yeah?
- Hey, we have a little problem. - What's wrong?
They put a hold on our credit cards.
- I mean, I called and it's all cleared up, but... - what happened?
The sfpd asked to examine all our recent transactions.
- They're looking for cash withdrawals. - But why?
Isn't it obvious?
Jack's tracking our money.
hey, Jack?
Hey.
-So,what do you think you're doing? - I was trying to get this thing running again,
but they stoppedmaking the ignition barrel so some guy could charge me 500 bucks for it on ebay.
What are you doing, putting a hold on our cards?
I didn'T. It was the bank.I just asked some questions.
You know, if they got a little nervous...
- how many ways can we say it? - You're betting again.
I see it: The running away, the lying.
- You think that gives you the right...?
- Until I get the truth, I'm asking questions.
- Before somebody else does. - You can't stop being a cop,
- can you, Jack, even when it comes to your own family? - I see what it's doing to Katie.
Don't you talk about katie. She's my wife.
You guys say you're going through some sort of family crisis.
I'm supposed to trust you?
Well, you've given me no reason to.
When I'm ready to talk about this, I will.
But I'm not ready to tell you, and Jack,
you're not ready to hear it.
I told him to back off.
And that's gonna do it?
The card thing's temporary.
Once he figures out there's nothing wrong, then...
he wont back off, Dan. I know him.
I'm fine keeping Jack at a distance. I prefer it.
He's concerned.
I mean, in a lot of ways, he's justified.
Not that I'm taking his side. I'm not.
Sweetie, there's something else we should probably talk about.
Can something wait?
We need to talk.
Okay, I'll call you back, all right?
- In my office now. - Sure.
Nancy said you've been asking about some initials.
Yeah.
Want to tell me who your source is on this?
Not yet.
There was that package bomb,
killed a chemical engineer and a research assistant about seven years ago.
The east bay petrol company.
This is privileged information, you understand?
The cops told us don't show it to anyone.
About a week before it happened, we got a letter,
a manifesto blaming the petrochemical industry for everything wrong with the world.
The writer demanded that we print it on the front page or else.
And you didn't print it.
Dan, if we printed every threatening letter we got...
that was the first in a spree of bombings.
The guy was never caught.
Even threatened your buddy, Elliot Langley when he was at thurn-tippett.
"Global freedom now group zero."
Thanks, hugh.
This gonna be another dead-end story?
- What do you mean? - I mean, the last time...
you said you had a lead on dylan mccleen
and what happened to his missing hundred grand.
- Hugh, I... - "dry hole" is how you put it.
Now you're telling me you've got this guy's identity.
- Well, I can't be sure. - Well, be sure!
I got it.
- May I take this? - Yeah.
Just don't let it out of your sight.
- And Dan? - Yeah?
This time tomorrow I want to hear you've got a story that does pan out.
Right.
Bomb kills two at East Bay Petro
You need to find Michael kowalchuk?
Got a current phone number.
michael kowalchuk (415 555 036)
Excuse me. I'm looking for Dan Vasser.
His desk is right over there.
Michael kowalchuk?
- Thanks for coming down. - Hey.
I wanted to thank you in person
and show you the camaro.
- Still have it. - That's great.
I'll come down and take a look.
You, you look the same.
Clean living. Come on.
So, your brother...
it's two times I've met him now
and both times he's running off someplace, no explanation.
What about it?
Well, it's nothing. I don't mean to make a big deal.
It's just that in the er when we see a guy like that...
like what?
You know...nervous,
won't give you a straight answer, won't look you in the eye...
you don't have to tell me what's wrong with Dan.
- I got a pretty good idea. - I didn't mean to...
yeah.
So that's it?
Okay, thanks.
Look, if you needto deal with that...
I should really. It's just this thing with my brother.
It's okay.
Jack, is this thing between you and Dan...?
- Don't worry about it. - I'm not.
I'm just wondering. It...
is this thing between you and him or is this thing between you and his wife?
Katie?
It's just something I noticed.
A girl has to ask.
I'll call you later.
I don't know what else I can tell you.
Dad died a few months after I saw you.
I had to take over the business.
So you're still...
yeah, keeping it in the family.
If you would have told me back then, I'd wind up running a garage...
things didn't turn out the way that you planned.
Yeah, I guess.
Michael, uh, do you blame anyone?
Blame?
Your life didn't go the way you wanted.
That could make you angry.
Make you want to get back at someone.
I didn't say I was angry.
- my wife. - You're married.
Yeah.
I got two little ones, Annette and Greg.
- Want to see their pictures? - Sure.
So you'd say you were happy.
Sure.
I mean,
it was tough there for a while,
supporting a family...
and a brother.
- Your brother steven? - Yeah.
- So what happened to steven? - Look, uh, I have taken up enough of your time.
- I don't get exactly... - what happened to steven, Michael?
He...
developed problems.
Emotional ones.
I mean,
he was off-the-charts smart, you know?
He was getting his phd in mathematics at stanford.
- He just couldn't finish the program. - Where is he now?
We lost touch.
He'd still write to me sometimes.
Long letters.
And crazy stuff in them.
Wh-why did you want to talk to me?
What is "gfng0," Michael?
It's a thing...
my father used to call us.
"Good-for-no-good-nothings."
Steven... he used...
he used to make an abbreviation out of it as a joke.
- so do you know where he lives? - No. Like I said, we lost touch.
Look, is there something you're not telling me?
Is there something you're not telling me, Michael?
Do you really not know where he is,
- or what happened to him? - I think I'm going to go.
- Thanks for coming. - Yeah.
Listen, if you do know something...
Kowalchuk Automotive Services Mechanic On Duty Licesed
hello!
- What day is it? - I don't know. I just got here.
You want a new travel tip?
Registration tags. It's 1965.
Oh, yeah? Kid's on a cell phone.
Okay, so it's not a perfect system.
Excuse me. Is Michael kowalchuk around?
He's delivering a vehicle. You need something?
Yeah. The time.
- Five to 8:00. - And the date?
Uh...april 12.
Yeah, the 12th, I think.
- 2000? - Yeah.
Two people are going to die from a mail bomb in about 30 minutes.
You know who did it?
Michael kowalchuk's brother.
I think he knowswhere he is.
Do you know where this bomb is going to blow up?
On the peninsula. We need to call the police.
You call the police about a bomb threat,.
they'll trace that number and start asking questions
Then everything unravels, Dan..
- then I need a car. - How? Who's going to drive you?
It's okay. It's okay.I know where I can steal one.
Wait. I know where we are.
Are you going to steal Jack's car?
If he's still living where I think he's living.
And there she is.
He looked after it like it was his own baby.
I remember he left a spare here once.
One of those magnet things?
- That's kind of dumb for a cop. - We were all dumb once.
Here's hoping this is his time.
It's not here.
What are you doing?
You know why I still wear hairpins?
It's called being prepared.
It actually works if you...
you gonna tell me where you learned that?
No.
This is some kind of teen fantasy for you, isn't it?
No, but yeah.
Do you know where this is gonna happen?
Yeah. The, uh...
east bay petrol labs, off of mission, south of 280, in about
15 minutes.
You know you're never going to make it.
I'm in a bright red car that I stole from a cop.
- What makes you say that? - Better go the speed limit.
Cynthia mcnaughton!
Yes?
Please stand up!
Please stand up right now!
You have to get out of here, all of you.
- I'm sorry? - Albert voss?
It's all right. I...
don't ask me how I know, but this is a bomb.
Please, everybody keep moving.
Everybody keep together.
How do you know about this?
I overheard someonein a bar.
It's probably a hoax.
the police are going to want to talk to you.
wait. Where are you going?
Okay.
katie barron Vasser.
Audition tape for kryl, channel 6 news.
Should it be Katie barron?
Hi. You may remember me as Katie barron,
reporter for action...for...
anyway,
so here's where I tell a little bit about who I am and what I've done.
I won a local emmy for covering city hall.
My husband's a time traveler, but I can't tell anyone.
Okay. Cut.
Erase that.
- the door was open. - How long have you been there?
Dan's not at work. He's not here. Where is he?
- What did you two...? - We had a badone today.
- You gonna tell me you don't know? - I don'T.
Don't lie to me. He's up to his old tricks. You know.
I know it.
He's not.
-Jack, you can't just come in here... - So you'd tell me if he's spending cash
that he can't account for, right? If he's suddenly broke? Or flush?
- Why? - Because it's worse than it was before, and that was bad.
I care about him.
And I care about you.
Okay.
You making movies?
I'm thinking about going back to work..
that's not a bad idea.
Sorry to bother you.
Here at the headquarters of the east bay petrol corporation
where the package was delivered this morning.
Thanks to an anonymous tipster, there are no fatalities,
but damage is reported to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- You think my brother did that? - You tell me.
- What are you, the FBI? - No.
Then get the hell out of here.
- What proof do you have? - None.
But you know that he's capable of doing something like this.
That he's angry and he's brilliant.
That he had an abusive father who didn't appreciate either one of his kids.
There's a lot of men like that in this town.
A smaller percentage of them like to blow things up.
You can't expect me to turn my own brother in.
I'm not asking you to. Just tell me where he is.
Two people almost died, Michael.
More are going to die.
You want him to spend the rest of his life in prison?
I'm his older brother.
And I was never there for him.
But he always...
he always worried about me.
Then pay him back, Michael.
Be there for him now.
Keep on driving it that way, you're gonna do some damage.
The key doesn't work.
I might be able to help you with that.
Steven, open the door! It's Michael!
Steven, open up!
steven, it's me. Michael.
I brought someone here.
He remembers you.
don't be afraid, steven. I'm a friend.
You're back.
- I knew you'd come back. - You did?
The godel metric has been disproved,
but there's still the possibility with tachyons.
- Tachyons? - Yeah.
You know what tachyons are?
They're particles that travel faster than the speed of light.
Traversals through higher-dimensional space.
Steven.
Remember, mike, when we were building the rocket,
we needed it to go higher and faster?
- We needed tachyons. - He gets like this.
He needs to take medication.
Don't you get it?
- He doesn't age. - Steven...
are you from the future or the past??
Are you from the future or the past?
The future.
I knew it.
It's the shoes.
It's always the shoes.
Yes, steven, he's come...
to give you a message.
Don't be afraid of the future, steven.
The science, technology, things changing so fast.
Some of it... it's kind of cool.
And some things don't change.
Like what?
Well...
love.
Love's a constant.
Michael...
michael's here out of love, steven.
He's...
he's here for you.
Steven,
what do you say?
Do you feel like getting out of here?
come on.
- Good luck. - Thank you
So, are we done?
Isn't Jack going to notice that's missing?
hold on.
Is that Jack?
Yeah.
Who is he with?
Katie.
- Wait a minute. - This is 2000.
Weren'T...weren't you guys married?
Not yet.
But we were about to be.
Word of advice: Don'T.
It's probably nothing.
I bet they just talked.
I'd have remembered.
Just come on up and I'll call you a cab.
I'm sorry, I...
I just need to...I need to sit down for a second.
Okay.
You know, he's probably home already.
- He could be there now. - Maybe.
Look, I don't know what to tell you, okay? He's my brother.
- I like to think he's improving. - How?
He tells me to go to hell a lot more.
Shows emotional growth.
is there something else?
No.
Kate, I know when something's bothering you,
because you say nothing's bothering you.
Dan asked me to marry him.
Wow. When did he...?
When I...
told him that I was pregnant.
I said yes.
Wow.
Are you sure you're pregnant?
- Because we had that scare... - I'm sure.
I'm really sorry I have to tell you.
No, please, I asked.
Note to self, though, it's a bad idea.
- Jack, it's just all moving so fast. - Katie...
I mean he lost Livia only a year and a half ago, and then there's you and me.
- Katie. - What?
Do you love him?
I don't know.
I think so.
Well, he loves you. He wouldn't have asked you to marry him if he didn'T.
I know that guy a little.
And whatever happens, you can come to me
if you need someone to straighten him out.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
We should probably get you home.
Hey...
thanks a lot.
There's got to be some cabs out there somewhere.
Jack was always looking out for you.
Yeah, I know.
Hey, Katie loves you, Dan. She's just unsure.
You guys got slammed with a lot of stuff back then.
Maybe.
Come on. I want to just talk to him in person.
- Where is he? - Out.
What do you wantthis time, Jack, dna, fingerprints?
- I'd say you're upset. - A little, yeah.
- Hey, babe. - Hey, so what's he doing here?
- "He?" - Yeah.
He came by to tell you something.
Your credit statements check out.
I also called an officer at your bank about your cash accounts,
and there's no unusual movement of funds.
I was way out of line. I'm sorry.
Hey, Jack...
I think that's the part you're looking for.
- Where'd you get this? - I got a friend, owns a garage.
We go way back.
Thank you.
All right.
- See you guys. - See you later.
- See you. - See you.
If you could do it over again, would you?
You mean...
us.
Yeah.
Of course.
Then you may be the crazy one.
Thanks for coming to see me.
- I only have a couple of minutes. - Oh, we're good.
Thank you.
I...
- I'm still on parole. - I know.
- In the care of your brother? - Yes.
- He says he owes you. - No, no, he doesn'T.
Well, maybe a free tune-up.
- You wanted to talk? - Yes. Um...
the article that I'm writing, it's not just about your recovery.
It's about the work you were doing in menlo park regarding...
anomalies... space-time journeys through higher dimension...
it's not possible.
- I'm sorry? - Time travel.
I've done some more work since then none of it published, of course, but then it...
it proved time travel can't happen.
Not even if we posit the existence of tachyons.
I see.
What, and the research you were doing... have you ever crossed paths with an Elliot Langley?
no.
You wrote letters to him, claming that his researchlead to global...
those were not my best days, mr. Vasser,
and I'm not the same person... thanks to you.
Yeah.
I'm sorry to disappoint.
all right.
And you gave me too much credit. Your brother deserves most of it.
Yes, he does.
Well, thank you again.
Take care.

The guy who bombed the east bay petrol lab.
You want to know where I am on the story.
What are you talking about?
The letter, remember? Sent to the paper?
A bomb threat? This was about seven years ago.
Vaguely. Guy turned himself in, right?
Right. Steven kowalchuk.
So why's this a story?
It's not.
I mean, that's what I was going to tell you.
Okay, um, you know what I was gonna say is you can give Katie a message.
Grant hauser at channel 6 is going to give her serious consideration.
What?
You and your wife need to talk more.
You ready?
Yeah.
You parked at a bus stop?
Yeah, who's gonna give me a ticket?
- Are you sure about this? - Yeah.
- You drive. - Okay.
Okay, now don't go crazy.
- She's not all she used to be. - Yeah, yeah, I know.
- Seriously. - I know, I know.
