Timeless

Previously on Timeless...

I'm going to die.

What? On one of our next trips.

Jiya saw it in a vision of hers.

Did you ever think that maybe you are seeing these things so that you can save Rufus?

Let's to see what Rittenhouse has been hiding. That's Jessica.

Who's that? Kevin, my brother you shoot pool with all the time.

Not in my timeline. What do you mean?

He died before he was three. No, he didn't, Wyatt.

Is there something you're not telling me? Yeah, there is.

I'm pregnant.

Colonel Ryerson, sir, you have a visitor.

It's a young woman?

All right, send her on in.

I brought you something from home.

So, no letters or photos from my wife?

It's been a little chaotic since you left.

Come on, when's the last time you had a cheeseburger?

A nearby Union regiment is about to raid

the plantations along the Combahee River.

You're going to stop them.

All the details you need are in here.

Pull this off, and you're back home with your wife

and all the cheeseburgers you can eat.

It's this way.

Why did you bring me here?

To talk about Emma.

I realize you two have had your issues.

Please. I don't care about any of that.

And I don't care that you're sleeping together.

I don't trust her.

Why do you say that?

I think she's sabotaging the missions.

The Suffragette movement of 1919.

That should've been easy.

And yet somehow, the mission fails,

and Emma is the only one to come back alive.

If you asked Emma, she'd say that Lucy is to blame.

You're my grandfather,

and I have the greatest respect for you,

but quit thinking with your crotch.

Excuse me? You're blind.

Emma's been a part of almost every one of these failed missions,

but each time you blame Lucy?

The fact is,

Rittenhouse is in Lucy's blood, not Emma's.

Rittenhouse is about family.

It's about legacy.

Something Emma will never understand.

My daughter. Yes.

My mother.

She was two when I left.

I never got to see her

grow up.

You sacrificed everything for Rittenhouse.

For her.

For me, one day.

Emma isn't family.

Her faith is fleeting.

She doesn't believe in you like I do.

You wanted to see us?

Wait, where's Flynn? I think he's still asleep.

You ever hear him snoring? Dude needs a CPAP.

No Flynn, just you three.

What we're about to tell you stays between us,

for Wyatt's sake.

For my sake?

I found some, shall we say,

troubling files on the Rittenhouse computers.

Is that Jessica?

When was that taken? There are hundreds of these,

going all the way back to Jessica's childhood.

Rittenhouse has been following Jessica her entire life?

Why would they do that?

That's what we've been trying to figure out for a week now.

You've known about this for a week?

You're just now telling me? Look.

I'm treading cautiously here.

But Rittenhouse brought Jessica

back from the dead for a reason, Wyatt.

Are you saying Jessica works for Rittenhouse?

The truth is, we don't know who she is.

Yeah, we do, she's my wife.

I've known her since high school.

No, Wyatt, to be precise,

you knew a Jessica who sadly passed away.

This Jessica could be different.

Do you have any reason at all to suspect Jessica of anything?

Come on. This is insane.

If she were Rittenhouse, wouldn't she have tried to kill us by now

or given up our location?

Exactly, thank you.

Wyatt, I'm moving her out of the bunker.

It's the safest thing for Jessica and for us.

Wait, wait, what? Wouldn't that put her in danger

if she's not Rittenhouse?

We will provide her with around-the-clock protection.

Jessica's not going anywhere.

I know this isn't easy for you, but you're a soldier,

and you need to think of the mission.

Jessica's a potential security risk.

She's pregnant.

You throw her out, I go too.

She's what?

I think he just said she's pregnant.

That went well.

South Carolina, June the 1st, 1863.

We're going back to the Civil War again. Yay.

- So why South Carolina? - I don't know.

Fort Sumter was a couple of years before.

The assault on Fort Wagner isn't for another month.

Wait, wait, wait.

What about the Combahee River Raid?

Of course.

It was that night.

Come on, Lucy, defend your territory. You're the history geek.

It was a regiment of mostly Black Union soldiers

who planned a surprise attack on dozens of plantations in the middle of the night.

Torched fields. Freed hundreds of slaves.

If Rittenhouse stops it, it's a serious blow to the Union.

Atta girl, show 'em who's boss.

There's more.

It was led by Harriet Tubman.

You think Rittenhouse is trying to derail the Underground Railroad?

No. The Underground Railroad was humming for years before that.

During the war, Tubman was actually a Union spy.

They called her...

They called her "The General."

How'd you know that?

Well, she's not just an American hero.

Across the pond we even have streets named after her.

So they are going after Tubman and her men.

Wyatt.

You have anything you'd like to add? Why?

Obviously you all are the experts at everything.

Let's get going.

She better be here when I get back.

You have my word.

Sure you're gonna be okay while I'm gone?

I'm not the one I'm worried about.

Yes, I'll be fine.

Turns out pregnancy just makes me wanna binge-watch This Is Us and ugly cry,

so I'll get it all out of my system before you're back.

We gotta tell your family the good news soon. Sure.

As soon as we get out this dank, rusty hellhole,

I will send out the invitations for the baby shower.

I know. I'm sorry.

I know you wanna see 'em.

I wanna see 'em too.

Hell, I never even met your brother.

What?

It's just weird

how much you've been talking about my brother lately.

Well, it's...

It is kind of weird.

You know?

In my timeline, he died when he was three from leukemia,

and now he's suddenly alive and kicking.

It's... So am I.

That's a good thing, right? Yes, of course.

Are you sure you don't remember how he was cured?

Or who cured him, or why, or anything?

I mean, it's just... I was a kid.

Would you rather he'd have died?

No, come on.

I'm sorry.

Now, are you going to answer my question?

The important one?

What question?

Boy or girl?

Let's see.

I will take either one.

Girl. You can't say that.

Girl, 100%. What if it's a boy?

Then I will love him

almost as much as a girl.

And we'll just... We'll just try and try and try until we get one.

You are truly awful.

You are.

Be careful.

Yeah.

I don't think you should be angry at Christopher.

She's just trying to protect us.

Who's angry?

I'm just reading a map.

Look, I get how hard this Jessica thing must be,

but we just have to keep an open mind.

Yeah, an open mind.

That my wife is a cult-loving, sociopathic traitor.

Rittenhouse took those photos for a reason.

They brought her back for a reason.

Yes, to distract us, in which case,

Christopher freaking out is exactly what they want.

I hope so. We just...

We have to be sure.

What do you want me to say, Lucy?

That my wife is a liar?

Hell, maybe she's lying about being pregnant too.

You do think she's lying about that.

If Rittenhouse doesn't kill us, the mosquitoes will.
