Excuse me? You sure these are real?
'Cause I ain't payin' for no knockoffs.
Let me check.
I haven't seen these in years.
Oh, yeah, these are totally authentic.
Last week they were 40 bucks, and now they're 65.
Why you guys suddenly jackin' up all your prices?
Blame Foot Locker.
Ever since they moved down street, we lose so much business.
We have to raise our prices.
My son knows this.
- Sorry. - Yeah, times are tough all over.
That's why I'm pullin' a double tonight at Saint Joe's
and why I really need these shoes.
Guess I'll have to hit the ATM between shifts.
- What time do you close? - 7.00pm, every day.
Not a moment sooner.
I set aside for you, okay?
What... What is your name?
Luisa Rojas. That's "Rojas" with a "J".
Rojas with "J", okay.
Hey.
I remember when these came out.
I always wanted a pair, but my mom couldn't afford it.
Hey!
Stop daydreaming, huh?
That troublemaker is back.
You keep eye on him.
Make sure he don't steal nothing.
- Can I help you? - Oh, 'sup, Daniel.
I came to check out the new Sevens.
Sonny said he'd hook me up.
- Sonny? - Your brother, fool.
Oh, right! My brother.
Yeah, be right back.
Hey, bro?
There's a kid here saying that you're holding a pair
of Jordan Sevens for him?
Follow me.
Hey, don't let Dad see this.
You know how he feels about Dwain.
Yeah, doesn't seem like he trusts him very much.
He doesn't trust anyone who's not Korean.
And he barely trusts Koreans.
But good luck convincing Park Jin
he could ever be wrong about something, or someone.
Feels kinda light.
You sure there's anything in here?
Okay.
That's... That's not what you think it is.
Trust me on this, little bro.
What's all this?
A special breakfast for a special lady
on our special day.
Happy first date anniversary.
These are beautiful!
And tonight, we're gonna celebrate.
Guess where I got us a table?
Emilio's?
Yeah.
My favorite! Oh, Magic. You are just the best.
Well, I hope you won't mind, I had to take a later reservation
in case I get held up at Quantum Leap.
I thought you said it was just temporary
'til they got it up and running again?
Yeah, I know, but...
Well, with Addison stepping away from being Ben's hologram
someone has to be there for him on his leaps.
Well, can't Ian or Jenn?
What about that new fellow, what's his name?
Tom.
He's the DOD's liaison.
But the team is still my responsibility.
Magic, I know Ben is like a son to you.
But after what you went through last year
are you sure this is wise?
I'll be fine.
Now, come on, let's eat before this gets cold.
C'mon.
Yo, man, why you trippin', Mr. P?
You go! Or I call the police!
What's goin' on? What happened?
I was just checkin' out those fly-as-hell Adidas
when your dad starts comin' at me, callin' me a thief!
Every day you come here and all you do is looking!
- No buy! - I told you, I already paid!
Then where's the receipt?
Nah, I ain't leavin' until I get what I came for.
That's my bad, appa. Here.
Next time I see you near store, I call the police for real!
You sure you're ready for this?
The second Ziggy locks onto Ben, it's on, and you're up.
- I know the drill. - What about the hand-link?
It's a lot harder to operate than a smartphone.
Well, it's a good thing I've seen Addison
do it a million times.
I just don't want you to get rattled!
Jenn, I'm a former Navy SEAL.
I don't rattle.
You sure you don't wanna go back in there
and maybe try to talk to Ben one last time?
Ian.
Ben said what he said for a reason.
I'm not gonna ignore his wishes.
Nor am I gonna sit around here
and be one more thing for you all to worry about.
So, if you need me, I'll be on my cell. Magic...
Go get 'em.
Ziggy found Ben.
Okay, Magic.
Are you ready to trip the light Quan-tastic?
As I'll ever be.
You wouldn't happen to have a black leather Oxford
in men's 14?
Magic.
Did not see that coming.
(Korean) There you go again.
Your head in the clouds? Again?
Go work register!
Hope you weren't expecting someone else.
Oh, me? No, it's just old habits.
But it's a fresh start and a new beginning, so...
It's gonna be good.
Better than good.
LA again, huh?
It's a far cry from Hollywood this time.
Yep. Welcome to Park Shoe Shack here in the heart of Koreatown.
From what I gather, my name is Daniel Park
and this leap has something to do with the family store.
But there's still some blanks there
that I was hoping my hologram could fill me in on.
The defendants being congratulated
as the verdict "not guilty" rang through the courtroom
over and over again.
The four LAPD officers in the Rodney King beating case
found not guilty
- on all counts except one... - Ben.
Do you know what day this is?
April 29th, 1992.
The day the LA riots began.
Yet a verdict "not guilty" of the crime...
I remember watching the riots on TV.
How unfair that verdict was to the black community
and how angry people were over it.
I remember the rooftop Koreans trying to protect their businesses.
It seemed like this whole city just exploded.
I can't possibly be here to stop all that, right, Magic?
No.
According to the original history
Park's Shoe Shack was ransacked.
Jin tried to protect his store and was killed.
Looks like you're here to save him.
How?
By getting him and Sonny outta here before it's too late.
Good news is, there's still time before the chaos hits Koreatown.
In the meantime, I'll have Ian and Jenn dig up
more specifics on Jin's death to help you get ahead of it.
Okay.
Can't believe they acquitted those cops
without even a slap on the wrist.
Rodney King was a criminal!
That they beat 56 times. On camera.
The police will protect our community, you know?
Those officers just doing their job.
Justice was served.
Yeah, but people won't see it that way.
For them, it's just another example of a system
that doesn't treat everyone equally under the law.
And it's gonna really piss them off.
It is not our problem!
You know, business is slow today.
We should probably close up early and go home.
You know we never close early.
Yeah, I know, "7.00pm and not a moment sooner."
I know! But if things get real bad
this is the last place we wanna be.
The police will handle it, okay?
Not this time, they won't.
How do you know?
Just trust me, okay?
Please.
No. We stay open until Miss "Roha" come back.
Okay?
Yeah. Stock room is a mess!
Go clean it up!
(Korean) What are you doing? Go!
Okay.
Korean radio said
people are protesting the verdict around town.
They seem to be peaceful.
Yeah. For now.
Look, you're the elder son.
Maybe you can convince Dad to leave.
Yeah.
Good luck with that.
I mean, you know how he feels
about this store.
It's like his third child.
And now that it's in danger of being put out of business
by the bigger shoe chains
he's only fightin' harder to protect it
even though it's a losing battle.
Especially today.
That's why I've been workin' on a little side hustle
to keep things going while you're at boot camp.
By the way
when do you plan on breaking the news to Dad
that you joined the Marines?
I...
just haven't found the right time to...
We should get inside.
(Korean) ...has declared a sate of emergency
and advised citizens to stay at home.
- What's goin' on? - Let me listen.
(Korean) ...have ordered citizens to shelter in place.
They are saying to shelter in place.
I really think we should go.
You better make it quick.
The cops have completely lost control
over on Florence and Normandie.
Folks are smashing store windows
and burning up cars.
And I'd like to avoid all that
so this should cover the up-charge.
If it's as bad as you say
maybe you should wait here until it's over.
I can't. I got three kids to feed before my next shift starts.
Did you drive here?
It's LA. What do you think?
- Where'd you park? - Just up the block.
I can give you a lift if you want.
- Yes! - No...
They say shelter in place.
That's what we'll do.
Oh, speak for yourself.
You shouldn't go alone. I'll come with you.
Watch yourself out there, lil' bro.
You come right back!
What am I looking at here?
Insurance claims, LAPD incident reports.
Somewhere in these official documents
we're gonna find the cause of Jin's death.
Bit of a needle in a haystack, unfortunately.
Which we haven't got time to sift through.
Ben needs this information now.
Well, the LA riots were one
of the most complicated events in recent history.
I mean, there were so many different points-of-view
so much information and misinformation
between the police, and the media, and the people on the ground
the reality of the situation shifted from moment to moment.
So, there was really no objective truth.
Just a whole lot of fear and rage and violence.
Well, just keep at it.
Is it just me, or is anyone else still reeling
from the whole Ben-Addison blow-up?
Oh, my god, thank you!
I feel like we're kids in the middle of Mom and Dad's divorce
and everything just went all Kramer vs. Kramer.
I was actually thinking it was more
of A War Of The Roses scenario?
Minus attempted murder.
Yes, everything is incredibly awkward right now
but can we please just stay focused here?
Blunt force trauma to the head.
That's what killed Jin. Right outside of his store.
It's awful.
And Sonny nor Daniel were there when it happened.
Out of guilt, they tried to keep the store alive
in memory of their father.
So, they both gave up their own dreams and aspirations.
- Oh, no. - I'm a nurse. I help people.
What did I ever do to make someone so angry
that they would do this to me?
They're not angry with you. It's the system.
Yeah, well, I'm angry too!
I'm a single mother workin' her ass off to make ends meet
and I just lost my one and only way to get to work!
And I can't afford to repair or replace it
'cause I can't afford the insurance!
Now how am I supposed to get back to my kids?
There must be someone you can call to look after them?
A... a relative, or a... or a neighbor?
You know, you can use the phone back at the store!
Ben.
You need to get back to the store, ASAP.
We were just on our way. What... what, why?
You're not just here to save Jin.
Luisa.
Luisa, come on, we gotta go. Come on.
Come on.
I'm so sorry.
What are you doing?
Calling mi madre to watch my kids!
Get your things, appa. We're leaving.
- Danny, we can't. - I don't care
if it isn't 7.00pm yet.
We're closing the store and getting the hell outta here!
Now!
Why... Why are you just standing there?
- Come on! Let's go! - Go where?
They're closing all the roads into and out of Koreatown.
He's right, Ben. There's no way out now.
Where are the police?
Probably down in Beverly Hills, protecting all those Richie Riches.
They ain't comin' here!
We need to lock this place down tight.
I'll get the back door.
Since been identified as Reginald Denny was pulled
from his vehicle at the corner of Florence and Normandie
and severely beaten...
Dios mio.
And it's just gonna get worse.
- What are our options? - Few and far between, I'm afraid.
National Guard won't arrive 'til morning.
You'll have to hunker down and ride this out.
The riots lasted six days.
How am I supposed to protect Jin that long?
That's one way.
- Why do you have that? - There's too many robberies in area.
I buy this for protection.
We need to show them that we can defend ourselves!
Do not go up on that roof.
You could get hurt. Or worse.
Someone has to protect our store.
I'll do it.
(Korean) Okay. Be careful.
One gun ain't gonna stop a mob.
She's right. Until we can work out an exit strategy
you'll need to fortify your position
starting with the most vulnerable spots.
I got an idea.
You'll also wanna take down that merchandise.
Less things to loot makes for a less appealing target.
Not your first rodeo, I'm guessing.
You could say that.
I'm really glad you're here, Magic.
Especially at a time like this.
- Is there a problem? - I'm not sure.
They need me back at HQ.
You'll be okay while I'm gone?
Yeah, we're good for now.
What's goin' on?
Beth. I wasn't expecting you until dinner.
I know, but you forgot your lunch.
I don't recall packing a lunch.
Allow me to refresh your memory
in your office.
Have Ziggy run a series of exit strategies
for Ben to get the Parks out of Koreatown.
Since when did "please" become a dirty word?
Now, Ian!
Yes, sir.
Okay, that is so not about lunch.
You got that right.
You said you'd never set foot in this place again.
Whatever's bothering you must be pretty serious.
It is.
After that lovely breakfast you made
I went to clean up, took out the trash
and that's when I found
this.
That's not mine.
Then how did it end up in our recycling bin?
I saw it in the back of the pantry and I poured it right out.
Oh, Magic!
I swear!
Look, I haven't started drinking again, Beth.
You have to believe me.
I want to, but I saw the toll it took on you
when you thought Ben was gone and this place got shut down.
Just like it did on Al when he lost Sam.
As God is my witness, Magic, I cannot...
I will not watch that happen again to someone I love.
Ben is not Sam.
This isn't history repeating.
I won't let it be.
For either of us.
You have my word.
You should get back to Ben.
I'll see you at dinner.
(Korean) Mobs can be seen across the streets
along with broken glass from store windows
that have littered the ground.
Sirens can be heard all throughout the neighborhood as well.
Where are you going?
Shoe rack could use some tidying.
Everything okay at HQ?
Everything's fine. But there's no exit strategy
that doesn't end with Jin dead.
Open the door!
Hey, open the door! It's Dwain!
Open the damn door!
No! Don't open that door!
We can't just leave him out there!
I don't want him here!
C'mon!
- He's gone. - Ben, you have to go after him.
Is that what Ziggy's saying?
Look, I don't need an AI to tell me that if cops catch Dwain
there's a hundred percent chance he won't survive.
Ben, you have to hurry.
One minute, you're telling me I have to hunker down
now you're telling me I have to go out there?
What about Jin?
Ziggy says there's an 84% chance he'll be safe
for the next couple of hours.
Dwain won't be so lucky if the cops mistake him
for one of the protesters.
You should've let him in!
Hey! That boy's a no-good criminal!
Why, cause he's black?
He's not a criminal, appa!
He's my business partner!
So, that's what the money in the shoebox was for.
What money? What business?
Dwain and I are workin' on a custom shoe line.
- A what? - A shoe line.
He's gonna design 'em, and I'm gonna sell 'em.
We're gonna be the next Nike.
Hey.
You sell these shoes.
Not for much longer.
Mom and Pop shops like ours are done.
So why bother?
Your mother and I, we come to this country with nothing.
Twenty years we work so hard
to build this place for you and your brother!
And now you're just going to turn your back?
I'm not turning my back!
I'm looking forward, trying to build something new!
For all of us! Something with a future!
Hey, your future is here, with your family!
Not some hoodlum!
Dammit, appa, he's not...
Y'know what?
Never mind.
You're never gonna hear me, so I'm done trying to explain.
You so ungrateful.
You don't want part of this store?
Fine!
Daniel will be here.
He can take over.
Yeah? Why don't you ask Daniel
where he's gonna be three months from now?
What is he talking about?
So...
I enlisted in the Marines.
Ben, we have to go!
And we can talk about that later, after we find Dwain.
C'mon.
Hey, sorry I ratted you out.
I was pissed, and it just kinda spilled.
The truth would've eventually come out.
I get why you didn't wanna say anything to him.
You knew it'd break his heart.
What son would wanna do that to their own father?
I... I know he thinks I'm crazy, but what do you think?
Oh, no, you're definitely onto something.
Ten years from now, sneaker culture is gonna be huge!
That's exactly what Dwain said! Yo, kid's a real visionary.
Just sucks Dad refuses to see any of that.
Yeah, yeah, I know, and it's ridiculous.
But I think it's because he's afraid.
This store is his family's legacy.
Only now, he's got one son who's planning to go off on his own
and another who's about to join the military
and a mob who is threatening to tear it all down.
It's like he's about to lose everything.
Found him. Around the corner, one block over.
Okay. This way. Hurry!
Dammit!
Dwain!
Over here!
Quick!
He's here somewhere.
Keep looking.
All units, fall back! Repeat, all units, fall back!
Repeat, all units, fall back!
Copy.
Hey, you fellas get back to the store. I'll meet you there.
- Where're you goin'? - We could be stuck for days.
We haven't got food or water.
So, I'mma hit the N and M market down the street.
Assuming it hasn't been picked clean already.
What, so you gonna go in there and steal stuff?
Ain't that ironic.
Hey. Don't stay out there too long.
- Good to go. - All right.
- Magic? - I can't do this.
You remember the last time we saw him like that?
He was drinking.
Whatever's triggering you, we don't have to talk about it.
We can just stand here in silence if it helps.
Ever heard of the "Long Hot Summer?"
Summer of 1967.
Race riots broke out in cities across the country.
I went to a school that wasn't afraid to teach black history.
For us, it was just a...
another frustrating battle against injustice
in a long history of frustrating battles.
Hundreds were killed, thousands arrested
and a whole lot more injured.
I was one of them.
I had no idea.
Not the kinda thing that comes up in casual conversation.
I was on leave in Detroit visiting family
where the night before
cops randomly arrested 80 people outside of a club
for no other reason than because they were black.
Folks around town were rightfully angry
demanding justice.
And that's when things got outta hand?
People were scared, lookin' for help.
So, me and my cousin Phil
we tried to do our part
until four cops stopped us at a red light.
All they saw were two black men in a car they assumed was stolen.
I tried to explain I was on leave
but they decided we were part of the problem.
What did they do?
Two of them pulled us from the car, threw us on the ground
put their boots on our necks
and pointed their guns at us
while the others beat us with their batons
and left us on the street like we were no better than trash.
It's a miracle we both survived.
There wasn't anything you could do to fight back?
Hell no!
Black kids have that "talk"
before their parents will let 'em outta the house on their own.
Seeing that fear in Dwain's face just took me back to that night.
And it reminded me
that it doesn't matter whether it's 1967, '92, or even today.
The sparks of injustice may vary
but systemic oppression will always light the fuse.
And no matter how much progress we make
it seems like that will never change.
If you need to tap out of the leap, Ian or I can always tap in.
I appreciate that.
But I promised Ben, and I intend to keep that promise.
You starin' at that camera
ain't gonna bring them back any faster.
I should've never let him go.
That boy they're tryna help is some mother's child!
If the situation were reversed
wouldn't you want someone lookin' out for your kids?
- What happened to your brother? - He went to get supplies.
Why is he here?
Yo, I'm just tryna get through this thing
alive and in one piece, all right? Same as you!
You are nothing like me!
(Korean) Hey, punk!
How many times I have to say?
When did you learn to speak Korean?
They're here!
You're gonna get yourself killed!
Now what do we do?
Into the stock room! Everyone, c'mon!
There's too many of them!
Is it over?
They're gone.
My store.
At least no one was hurt.
We should start cleaning.
I'm sorry I bailed on you back there.
That thing with Dwain just hit a little too close to home.
Just glad you're here.
Damn, they really did a number on this place.
At least Jin is still okay.
Yeah, still feel bad for yelling at him.
It's not his fault I have unresolved anger issues
about my own father never being there when I needed him.
And now with all this Addison stuff, it's just...
I'm here. Anytime you wanna talk about that.
Same goes for you, Magic.
If you need someone to talk to, I'm here.
Ben...
I'm an alcoholic.
Does the team know?
Oh, yeah.
They had a front row seat for all of it, unfortunately.
When?
When we thought you were lost.
The project got shut down, so I spiral.
The only solace I could find was at the bottom of a bottle.
Beth Calavicci...
she pulled me back out.
She got me help, she... she got me sober.
It's been 353 days since.
And every single day has been a battle
to keep from falling off that wagon.
You didn't lose me, Magic.
I made a choice to leap.
And the consequences of that
are my burden to bear, not yours.
And as for what you're living with?
I mean, you're an admiral and a decorated SEAL.
If there is a battle to be fought, I know you can win it.
I thought I was the one
who's supposed to be doin' the helping here.
We're family.
Look, for the record, you're a beast.
Yeah, and don't you forget it. How's the leap?
Well, to be honest, this one's been a little rough.
Is Ben okay?
LA riots notwithstanding, he's... he's fine. It's...
It's Magic that I'm worried about.
Okay? I...
It turns out that Navy SEALs do get rattled, after all
and I'm afraid that it's... my fault.
Ian.
No.
Addison, look, everything that's happened
to... Ben, to Magic...
It all happened because my future-self
dropped this nuclear bomb that's left this team
in an emotional wasteland!
We're slowly being poisoned by the radioactive fallout.
Okay, that's quite a metaphor.
I know, I know, it's not one of my best.
But it doesn't mean that it's not true
or that I'm not consumed by guilt because of it.
Yeah, well, I do know a little somethin' about guilt.
It's one thing to feel it when you intended to hurt someone.
But when you did your best
all guilt is gonna do is keep you stuck.
And you feeling that way, Ian, is not gonna help Ben.
Or any of us.
Things are different now
and we all have to find a way to move past what was
and focus on what's next.
- Which is? - Figuring out a way to get Ben home.
And if there is anyone who can do that, Ian...
it's you.
Just when we were having a moment.
Hey, Jenn.
You need to get your ass up here! Ziggy's freakin' out!
What did you do?
I was just tryna get more specific details on Jin's death
when suddenly...
Please tell me I didn't break Ziggy.
It would take a lot more than that, believe you me.
Okay. Well, then what's setting it off?
Well, according to this
the blunt force trauma that killed Jin
was from his own rifle.
He was beaten to death with his own weapon?
He was. But that's not going to happen anymore.
Okay, wait, isn't that good news?
Well, it would be if Ben hadn't changed history
by bringing Dwain back to the store.
That new variable caused Ziggy to have to recalculate.
So, what's it saying now?
That someone else is going to die.
He just gonna keep sittin' there like that?
This store was his life.
Yo, Mr. P.
I know this all sucks
but try to look on the bright side, y'know?
Everything they took was just stuff.
Stuff?
That stuff was my family's future!
And those lowlifes just take all from me
and left me with nothing!
Do you hear me?
Nothing!
Well, you still got your boys.
That's somethin'.
Whatchu know about anything, huh?
You just some punk kid.
What I know
is every damn day, I got a target on my back from folks like you.
Always givin' me the side-eye, thinkin' I'm some thief or some thug!
I'm 'bout to graduate top five in my class!
I got scholarship offers from three Ivy league schools!
But you don't see that, do you?
Nope.
'Cause the only thing you ever see
is just another poor, angry black kid
with no prospects or future ahead of them.
Hangin' outside of your raggedy-ass, kimchi-stankin' store
waitin' to make problems, ain't that right?
What? Hey! Okay!
- Get back! - Stop, okay?
If you were to just stop and listen to each other
you'll realize you have much more in common than you know!
See?
What did I tell you?
They're coming back!
Oh, no!
Sonny!
What've I done?
Oh, what've I done? What've I done?
Oh, what've I done?
Damn, Sonny!
He's losing a lot of blood, but you can help him, right?
Yeah, I've dealt with gunshot wounds before.
I... I didn't know it was him!
Appa, you made a mistake.
But it's not too late to fix it!
There's nothing I can do for him here.
He needs a hospital.
Ziggy says if Sonny doesn't receive proper treatment in the next hour
there's a 93% chance he'll die.
That ambulance up the block!
If we're lucky, it'll still have the supplies we need
to help keep Sonny stable.
Do you really think we can save him?
I know we can, if we all work together.
Stay with us.
Okay. Watch your step.
One, two...
- All right. - Down..
Sonny. Sonny!
Sonny.
There's a hospital north of here.
I'll have Ziggy map out the safest route to it.
- Okay. - Stay with us. Stay with us.
Looks like everything's still intact.
Okay, this is what I need.
How'd you know I was gonna ask for that?
Oh, I spent some time in a hospital once.
Okay, we'll get Sonny loaded up.
Dwain, see if you can find the keys.
Got it.
Oh, yeah, boy!
Freeze! Out of the ambulance! Now!
My friend was shot! We need to take him to the hospital!
Step away from the vehicle!
Hands on your head and get down on the ground!
Now!
You get down on that ground or we will shoot you!
Do you hear me?
You shoot him, then you shoot me!
You all say you are here to "protect and serve"
but who are you protecting from this kid?
He has done nothing wrong!
So, leave him alone!
Go! Please!
Do your job, and let me save my son!
Please!
All units, regroup at Wilshire and 3rd.
Repeat, all units, regroup at Wilshire and 3rd.
Let's go.
Thank you, Mr. Park.
You can thank me by driving as fast as you can...
Dwain.
- How is he? - Stable for now
but we really need to hurry.
Sonny...
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Please tell me he's gonna make it.
Not only does Sonny make it
but he and Dwain go on to build a custom shoe empire
thanks to Jin who uses the insurance money
to become their first investor.
As for Daniel?
After the Marines, he goes on to business school
and becomes the company's first CFO.
So, yeah, things work out for the Parks in the end.
He's gonna be okay.
We all are.
Mission accomplished, Admiral. Well done.
Especially under the circumstances.
I mean, we all know that this leap, it wasn't easy for you.
No, it... it wasn't.
Night.
You sure you're all right?
I will be.
Hey.
Listen...
I know you had your heart set on Emilio's tonight
but would you mind if we take a rain check on dinner?
Yeah.
I was hoping you'd come with me to a meeting.
I need help, Beth, and I could really use your support.
Henry!
It's me, Lawrence.
Thank god.
Thank god you're here.
You're bleeding. What happened?
Someone followed me.
They thought I had the formula.
You're gonna be okay, just breathe.
He had cold, blue eyes.
Help!
We need help!
Henry. It's real.
You have to find it.
Before they can.
We're gonna... We're gonna find it together, okay?
Just hold on. Hold on, Lawrence.
Path finder...
Lawrence! Lawrence!
Lawrence!
