Tru Calling

- Last season on Tru Calling: - In layman's terms...

...I relive days.

You relive days?

Jack, what you thought was happening to you...

...it happens to me.

- I just wonder sometimes. - About...?

Consequences.

Ripples in fate.

He is not like you.

He is the opposite of you.

- You save lives and he... - Takes them.

You have no idea what you're doing.

You save someone who shouldn't be here, there are consequences.

You think I'm messing up some grand plan? Maybe I am the plan!

What's gonna keep us from going in the same circles?

This weekend, let's talk.

About everything.

Okay.

Oh, Luc. Look at me.

Come on.

My mother had the calling, and she passed it on to me.

If you think for one minute that I am ever gonna stop, you're wrong.

You should know one thing. This is bigger than you think.

You have no idea what you've begun.

Get in.

Tell me, what does my daughter know?

Why don't I start with what she doesn't know. That you once did what I do.

She's tough. You'll have your work cut out for you.

- I love a challenge. - Well, Jack...

...I believe you've got one.

- Hello? - All right, I'm here.

We've been through this, Tru. You know exactly what to do.

- Okay, I'm in. - Okay, good.

Now, remember where you need to go.

- Johnson, 201. - I don't see it.

Turn left, third door on the right. And relax, you're good at this.

This is what you were meant to do.

I'm here, Davis. I made it.

I can't believe it.

First day of med school.

Yeah, almost.

Almost? What do you mean "almost"?

Well, I'm only auditing. If it wasn't for all those strings you pulled...

- Tru, Tru, listen. - What?

It's okay to be proud of yourself.

Thanks, Davis. Bye.

- Harrison. - It's me.

- I've got some interesting news. - You found Jack?

No, one-track mind, I haven't found Jack.

Forgive me. When someone kills my boyfriend...

...then disappears for two months, I tend to get a little obsessed.

It's a good point. It's a good point, but no. Dad's in town.

- Dad? - Okay, everyone, take your seats.

Yeah, he wants to have lunch. Wouldn't say why.

Hey, listen, I really gotta run. I'm gonna be late for another delivery.

Oh. Might wanna congratulate me.

Six weeks on a job. It's a personal best.

- Congrats, Harry. - Ms. Davies?

I gotta go. Yes, professor.

Miss Davies, just because your coroner friend used his pull at the board...

...to get you into my class doesn't mean you won't be held...

...to the same standards as real students.

Real students? I am a real student.

Okay.

Perhaps you'd care to tell me which artery terminates as a nasopalatine artery.

I, uh...

It's a maxillary artery. You're in medical school now, Ms. Davies.

You only have one decision to make. Are you committed to saving lives or not?

- Yes, I'm committed. - How reassuring for all of us.

Now, moving on to things that actually matter...

- Are you moving here? - Crime's up.

For a defense attorney that means business is good.

So, an office in the city was a natural.

- What about Jordan and the kids? - Weekends.

It's not ideal, but they understand.

So tell me, how's Tru doing?

I know how upset she was after what happened to that boy Luc.

She's tough. She'll feel better once she finds out who killed him.

Promise me something: You won't let her get too obsessed.

It's too late.

Enough small talk. I wanna tell you why I asked you here.

Since I'm opening an office, I need some help.

Investigators, researchers, resourceful young people.

Like yourself.

Wait, are you offering me a job?

What do you say?

Wanna come work for the old man?

- You turned it down? - Yeah. I told you, I got a job.

And I know it might not be glamorous, but it's legit.

And it's mine. I did it on my own.

You know, what's funny is, my whole life, I just wished Dad...

...would start acting like a real father.

And now that he is, I don't need him.

- Oh, no. No, no. Wait, wait. - What's wrong?

What...? The van. The van. I parked it right here, the company van.

- Is it towed? - No, no, not towed.

I fed the meter and everything. What...?

Glass. Broken glass. Somebody stole it.

They stole it, Tru. They stole the...

Oh!

Personal business. Personal business. I'm cooked. They're gonna can me, Tru.

- Okay, just relax, okay? Just... - Relax? Look, I love that job.

I'm good at it. Damn it.

You see that? You see what happens? I try to live an honest life, and look.

We'll think of something, I promise, okay?

Just call in sick, and I promise you we'll...

- What? - Hey, I think your guy's here.

- Took 10 grand off me. - Right now?

- Yeah. I'll stall him if you want. - Okay, cool. All right, thanks.

- Hey, that was my bookie. - Uh, about the honest life...

Let me finish.

Someone matching Jack's description showed up to collect 10 big ones.

- Where? - 111 Grand Street.

He's stalling him till you get there.

But, hey, what you are you gonna do when you get there? Tru. Tru!

You're welcome.

What the hell was that, Jack?

Tru. What a nice surprise.

Kids today. Not even a thank-you.

So, what, now you save lives?

One, who's to say that truck would've actually killed her?

And two, why do you look so surprised?

Because you take lives, you don't save them.

I guess you don't listen so well, Tru. I preserve fate.

Until a day restarts, I'm no different than him or her...

...or you. - Oh, you are different.

I don't kill someone's boyfriend and then disappear for two months.

Living in the past can be so debilitating, don't you think?

You thought killing Luc would make me stop?

Well, guess what, it only made me stronger.

Preaching to the choir. I saw you myself all summer.

All those people fated to die that you saved.

That's right. I didn't lose once. While you did what, exactly?

- Traveled. Relaxed. - Death took a holiday?

But you know what I did more than anything, Tru?

I hoped. I hoped that you would come to your senses.

I hoped that you would find a way to stop saving people...

...who are supposed to die.

Correction, who are supposed to live.

Don't you see? I gave you a gift.

I gave you the perfect excuse to walk away.

Actually, you gave me every reason to stay.

So here we are.

Right back where we started.

Later, Tru. Catch you on the rewind.

- I'll be waiting. - Unless I get there first.

Help me.

He's back, Davis. He's come back to stop me.

You're ready. Nothing to worry about. You're prepared for this.

Okay. So why do you look so worried?

I'm not worried. I'm curious.

Was she surprised to see you?

I think there's some bigger surprises in store for her, Richard, wouldn't you say?

Look, I told you, I can handle her. You don't need to move here.

And I told you, Jack, I know my daughter.

And you're gonna need all the help you can get.

I have plenty of help. You. Harrison, if need be.

But this is my calling, a job I was chosen to do. I can beat him.

Are you ready? Because I'm certain she is.

Oh, you're proud of her. That's cute.

But I gave her a chance to stop, and she didn't take it.

- So I'll stop her myself. - Confidence.

You remind me of myself when I had your job.

Except I won.

Until the day restarts, you've done all you can. I gotta get upstairs.

I'm running late for my psych evaluation.

Right, with the staff shrink. Good luck, Davis.

Well, it's just a formality. Tom Jordan and I are old friends.

Tom's been representing me for years.

- Okay, Tom, let's get this over with. - "Get this over with"?

- Oh, I'm looking for Tom Jordan. - He's gone on indefinite medical leave.

- Oh, I didn't know he was sick. - Yeah.

Oh. I'm sorry, how rude. I'm Dr. Carrie Allen. I'm his replacement.

- And you must be... - I'm Davis.

Davis. Here.

- You are two hours late, Dr. Davis. - It's actually just Davis.

Oh. I actually assumed that you weren't going to show up at all.

No, I like psychological tests. Ink blots and such. Call me crazy.

I know you're probably nervous about this.

But the wonderful thing about my test: There are no wrong answers.

- Okay. - All I need you to do...

...is look at this picture and tell me the first thing that pops into your head.

- No wrong answers? - No wrong answers.

That is the lost continent of Atlantis...

and the puppy dog that I never got as a child.

Yeah, I think he should take the job, Dad, but you know Harry.

- He likes to do things on his own. - Incoming.

Right, Dad, but look, I gotta go. I'll call you later, okay?

My father, Ward Cleaver all of a sudden.

Oh, no. Cop.

Harbor Patrol officer. She died answering a distress call in the bay.

Kate Wilson responded to an SOS call at 3:07 p. m.

Some college kids lost control of a boat called the Green Hornet.

- Sounds routine. - Would've been.

- Except for the white squall. - White squall?

A storm that comes unexpectedly, no real warning...

...till, bang, you're in the middle of it.

- A swell knocked her overboard. - What about her partner?

Couldn't get to her. Waves were too rough.

It's a miracle he didn't drown too.
