Quantum Leap - First Season

Dr. Ben Song risked everything

when he used the Quantum Leap Accelerator

to travel back in time.

Now, our team is working to find out why.

As he leaps between bodies with no memory of who he is,

he still has one hope.

But his next leap takes him back...

to the place and people he calls home.

Buy you a drink?

No, thanks. I've already got one.

You want to get out of here?

My place is right down the street.

That's an interesting offer,

but I'm actually meeting someone,

hopefully soon.

All right.

You want to dance?

Come on, I'm a really good dancer.

You know what they say about good dancers.

Yeah.

Could you stop touching me? Thank you.

Yeah. - Come on, don't be like that.

Let go... let go of me.

I said let go of me!

Stuck up bitch!

30 seconds in a woman's body,

and you have already been harassed,

assaulted, and insulted.

That sounds about right.

I have to admit this feels a little weird.

I'm wearing things where I'm not used

to wearing things, so...

Have you considered what you're missing?

I like this leap.

Does this mean you know who I am and what I'm doing here?

We're working on it, but Ziggy is still...

Running slow. I remember.

Oh, cute bag.

Do you need to find out where she got it?

Hair ties, compact, keys.

Wow, this thing's like a clown car.

Hmm. - Mace.

A taser?

Every woman I know carries some sort of weapon.

Or weapons.

Maybe she's a dominatrix.

No ID.

Excuse me, could I please close out my tab?

- Sure thing. - Clever girl.

Uh, no, thanks.

I've already got a drink, and I carry a taser.

Ooh, I know.

I bought that for you for Christmas.

Do not point that thing at me.

Any sign of him?

His roommate was sure he'd be here.

Uh, oh, OK. I got her.

Eva Sandoval, you're a bounty hunter.

Your father, Alberto, owns a bail bond shop.

And that's your partner Jake.

Jake, could you please show me our target's photo again?

Yeah.

Stuart Waters, wanted for robbery and assault

with a dangerous weapon. - Oh, yeah.

He's here.

I might have thrown a drink on him.

Really? Well, I'm sure he deserved it.

All right.

There he is.

We don't point. We don't point.

Now he's going to run.

Oh, God. And there he goes.

Why do they always run?

All right, look, I'll get the stairs.

You get the door.

- Dropped the mace. - OK.

No, no, no. Ben, the door's this way.

Right.

Hey!

Watch out!

Take it easy!

Oh, Stuey!

A little piece of advice for you,

if you want to make a hasty getaway, man,

you don't park on the Sunset Strip.

Come on, now.

You should have told me who you were.

He thinks that is why you turned him down.

That's interesting. - Mm.

- Don't do it. - Uh-oh.

Ooh!

Damn.

Like a brick.

What, have you been boxing on the side or something?

- Yes, actually. - Huh.

Well, when he wakes up, I'll put these on him.

OK, I have who Ziggy thinks we're here to help.

Tammy Jean Jessup.

Seems Eva's father wrote a bond for her,

but instead of showing up to court, Tammy Jean fled.

All right, she must have done something serious.

Parking tickets. - Hmm?

She was arrested for unpaid parking tickets.

OK.

Seems in '81, Tammy was new to LA.

She had just moved from Texas, college dropout.

No criminal record, though.

Just a penchant for parking where she shouldn't.

Her court appearance was set For July 29th at 10:00 a.m.

She didn't show up, and by the time Eva went

looking for her, she was gone.

Her father, Alberto, had to pay a whopping $500

in forfeited bail.

OK. I don't get it.

Something not right.

Lights are out, and the door's ajar.

Your dad always keeps it closed and locked at night.

Wait here.

Anything about a crime?

Looking.

This is Eva's dad's place.

Can't just sit here.

Something bad could be happening inside.

Well, babe, what do you say?

Make it official?

Do not look at me.

Are you surprised?

Yes. Yes, I am.

Well, what do you say?

I...

I...

need more time.

Sorry. What?

Let's celebrate!

Wow, I cannot believe this just got more awkward.

Don't tell me you said no.

I said I need more time.

Which, of course, is exactly what every man wants

to hear when he's down on one knee,

holding a ring that he picked out a year ago,

and bought on layaway... more time.

Wait, I don't understand.

How many times have you told me he's the perfect man for you?

A lot, probably.

What about all the plans you were making together?

Jake's new job in Illinois, the house you two saw there.

Look, I promised your mother that I would

make sure you were happy.

Jake makes you happy. - Ben.

OK, I'm sorry to break up this little father-daughter moment.

But Ziggy says the last time anybody saw Tammy Jean

was leaving her apartment that morning.

And that morning is this morning, so yeah.

Mr. Sand...

Daddy, where are the files on Tammy Jean Jessup?

Maybe it sounds foolish,

but every father wants their baby girl

to feel like a princess.

Oh, Ben. Over here.

You know, I don't understand.

I got to say...

back to work just like that, huh?

Got it.

You know, Eva, just... I need a little space, OK?

Jake, I'm sorry.

You caught me off guard. - Yeah. Yeah.

And I paid the price for it, didn't I?

I have an idea.

Why don't you help me find this woman before she skips?

What?

I proposed to you, you say no,

and now you want me to go on a job with you?

First of all, I didn't say no.

Second, I want you to do this job with me,

so we could talk about this,

everything, us.

Come on, you know me.

You know I like to talk things out.

You do.

Ay. OK.

Look, we find this girl, and then you and I

are going to have a talk, OK?

- Promise. - OK.

Something tells me this is going to be a hell of a ride.

OK, but to be clear,

this is about finding Tammy Jean,

not playing matchmaker.

Maybe I can do both.

So he's here in Los Angeles in 1981,

in the body of a woman.

Well, at least she's not wearing pantyhose.

Those were a thing back then.

And trust me, Ben would not last one hour in a pair.

How goes?

Ben is now Eva Sandoval, badass bounty hunter

with surprisingly good taste.

Ugh. Of course.

The first time that Ben's having

a gender creative experience,

I have to be off troubleshooting Ziggy.
