QUANTUM LEAP
"Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the quantum leap accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself trapped in the past, driven by an unknown force to change history for the better and facing a mirror image that was not his own. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time that Sam can only see and hear. And so, Dr. Beckett leaps from life to life putting right that once went wrong and hoping that the next leap will be the leap
home."
Reprise: April 3, 1969 Beth Calavicci's house
"...Al's alive and he's coming home." Sam joyfully tells Beth. She cries with joy as Sam gets up to leave. "Where are you going?" she asks. "I have other things to do. I just hope that you and Al will be happy." "I know we will." Beth responds, as Sam leaves. Knowing that he has accomplished the one thing that he had to do Sam looks up to the stars and says' "I hope you like what I've done Al. Because I'm going home."
With that Dr. Samuel Beckett leaps out into the unknown.
December 30, 1999: Stallions Gate, New Mexico Al Calavicci's home.
As the navy admiral enters his home, he realizes that something is different. All the belongings he had are gone and new ones in their places. He is intrigued by a picture on the table nearest to him. It is of him and Beth, a much older Beth and four young women. He turns it over and it says: Al Calavicci and family. June 15, 1994.
He has a stunned look on his face when he hears a familiar voice.
"Al, honey are you going to come to bed or are you going to work all night at that secret project of yours."
He turns around to see his former-but now current wife Beth.
He utters the words that Sam has used so many times before, "Oh, boy."
May 3, 1988 Elkridge, Indiana
A young woman is walking through town, looking for someone who she needs help from. She asks one person an then another. Then she catches he reflection in a store window. She's not used the person staring back at her is her self. That is because she used to take on other people's identities to change history for the worse. But she met someone who taught her that changing things for the better is so much more rewarding. That is why she is in his hometown, Elkridge, Indiana. She has to find Dr. Sam Beckett.
Alia walks to the street corner and spots a homeless man watching her. He has tattered clothes and has a gray beard and long hair. She thinks he looks familiar but he moves into an alley. She crosses the street and follows him. She yells out, "Where did you go? I just want to ask you if you-"
She grabbed from behind as the homeless man covers her mouth and pulls her into a doorway. Then he asks, "What the hell are you doing here, Alia?"
"Sam!" she says as he releases her. "I've been looking for you. Where have you been? "
"Correcting mistakes. But I need you to help me correct another one."
"You want me to come with you?" she asks.
"Yes."
"Where? I mean what do you need to fix."
"Does it matter?"
"No."
"Then-let's go."
And with that Sam and Alia leap together in an aura of greenish- purple light and vanish into the past.
Dec. 30, 1999
Al realizes that Sam went back and changed things for him and Beth. He figures that he has to find him before he does anymore.
"Well-are you coming." Beth asks. "Or are you going to work on this plan for retrieving Sam again."
"Well- I-I have to do something, Honey. I would like to stay more than anything...but I've gotta go back to check on something. I'm sorry."
"Okay. But remember, the kids are coming tomorrow morning. I'm sure they don't want their father to be sleepy when they come over."
"Kids?! Oh, boy." Al says in shock. He figures out that the young women in the picture are his kids.
Beth leaves and Al goes out the door to his car.
"My ex-wives are-are. Dammit, my memory is fading. Sam what have you done."
