Legends of Tomorrow (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Left Behind - full transcript
Ray, Sara and Kendra are stranded in the '50s when the Waverider takes off without them.
In 2166, an immortal tyrant
named Vandal Savage
conquered the world
and murdered my wife and child.
I have assembled an elite team
to hunt him throughout time
and stop his rise to power.
Unfortunately, my plan
is opposed by the body
I'd sworn my allegiance
to, the Time Masters.
In the future, my friends
may not be heroes,
but if we succeed, they will
be remembered as Legends.
Previously on "Legends
of Tomorrow"...
Boys, ship's all yours.
Mick!
What are you gonna do, Snart?
My husband and I get
along just fine on our own.
We're still waiting on Sara
and the two lovebirds to get back.
Seems they've taken quite a shine to 1958.
Sara swore her allegiance
to the League of Assassins.
It's time for her to return home.
My friend Thea calls it a bloodlust.
Argh!
- Sara, stop!
- I'm a monster.
Not this guy again.
Captain, Chronos has
breached the starboard hatch.
How is that possible?
Clearly he's received some new
toys from his Time Master friends
since our last encounter.
- _
- 1958's swell and all,
but I miss the Internet...
and cell phones.
Gideon! Seal the bulkheads from here...
Grey, come on! Let's do this!
If we merge on the Waverider,
it could destroy the entire ship!
Um, are you not paying attention
to what Chronos is doing?
Fall back!
Get to the Jumpship!
Hey, come on!
You sure it was a good idea
leaving the Terminator on the bridge?
Gideon has lockdown protocols which...
Have been overridden, Captain.
Chronos is utilizing superior
Time Master technology.
I cannot countermand his orders.
Uh...
what are they doing?
- Hey!
- Hey!
Where did they go?
why did they leave us?
He's timejumping the ship.
The ladies will be left in 1958.
- What about Ray?
- Like I said.
Let's go! We have to stop him!
Argh!
Oh!
Gideon, open the doors on my mark.
Get to the Jumpship and escape.
We are not abandoning you.
No, you are obeying a direct
order from your captain.
Now, Gideon.
I don't know if the Jumpship will even fly
from the Temporal Zone.
It doesn't matter.
- We're not leaving our team.
- What happened to:
"We could destroy the whole ship"?
A preferable alternative
to losing our friends.
Don't you agree?
Yeah.
We could've just opened
the door, Jefferson.
Sorry, I got a little carried...
away.
Oh, hey, hey, hey.
Oh, God. Where's Chronos?
He absconded with Mr.
Snart on the Jumpship.
I'm sorry, Captain.
Why would Chronos take Snart?
Gideon, can you track them?
We have a more pressing matter.
Strap yourselves in.
What's going on?
Chronos has sabotaged
the navigation system.
Unless we can find a
way to alter the course,
we'll be trapped in the Temporal Zone
for all time.
Gideon...
I cannot override Chronos' commands.
What did you do?
Rebooted Gideon.
Until she's fully operational,
we're free-falling through time.
We just have to stay calm.
Wherever they timejumped... whenever...
they'll come back to
this exact same moment.
_
They're not coming back.
Let's go.
Look, as a former Eagle Scout
with over 100 merit badges...
no big deal...
the first rule of getting
lost is stay the same place.
That way, you can be found.
And as a former member of
the League of Assassins,
the first rule when you've been attacked
is to keep moving.
I sort of think League wisdom
trumps the Eagle Scouts here.
Plus, Savage is still out there.
Guys, the rest of the team
would not leave us marooned in 1958.
Except for, that's exactly what they did.
You said it yourself...
you have a time machine,
and you're never late.
They're not coming back.
- _
- One good thing about 1958: no car alarms.
I didn't think they had
cars in Nanda Parbat.
Dated a lot of delinquents as a teenager.
And now we're the delinquents.
If we leave Harmony Falls,
how's the rest of the team gonna find us?
We don't know if they're looking for us.
But we know Savage is. We can't take him.
That means we can't stay here.
Let's go.
_
_
Oh, what did you do to our apartment?
I'm creating a time beacon...
a transponder which matches
the Waverider's quantum signature,
basically creating a radio wave firewall
that only our team can see.
It's cute that you think either of us
understood a word of that.
But I hope it works.
In the meantime,
maybe we should invest in some real beds.
_
Congratulations.
You are a doctor.
You know, I thought about
going to medical school once.
Here you go. $10,000 salary.
That's it? I made more as a barista.
Well, it's 1958.
You're lucky to make that as a woman.
Touché. Your turn.
I miss Netflix.
Aha!
The time beacon radio
is officially complete.
- Well, great.
- Okay, here we go.
Come on.
Here we go.
Hope there's a spot on that game
that says "Return to the Waverider,"
because that's what's about to happen.
Here we go.
I just have to fix a few of the kinks.
The next version will
be much less explosive.
Next version?
I thought you said you were
gonna say something to him.
Say what?
That your beacon... it's a waste of time.
They're not coming back, Ray.
And it's not because
the Waverider is broken,
or they're lost, or they can't find us,
or whatever.
It's because they're dead.
And the sooner that you accept that,
the sooner you can move on...
the sooner we can all move on.
So what? We're just supposed to give up?
On being rescued, yeah.
- Sara, what are you doing?
- I can't stay here.
I need to find somewhere I belong.
Sara, wait. You can't go.
Savage is still out there.
Don't draw undue attention on yourselves.
Sara.
Look, you two have each other.
Most people,
in any time period,
aren't that lucky.
Take care.
- _
- Which gives us mesoscopic polymer
and biomolecular simulations.
Yes, Mr. Gates?
If that's true,
and you can soften matter,
then doesn't that mean
you could theoretically
miniaturize an atom?
In theory, yes.
But trust me,
you don't want to try it at home.
And definitely not for at
least another, mm, 40 years.
Uh, aren't you supposed to be at home?
I thought you said your son was sick.
Yes, William.
My in-laws are at my house,
so if you don't mind,
I'd rather be in here.
Your son is Bill Gates?
Bill?
That has a nice ring to it.
Midterms are next week.
Go ahead and pick up an
exam book on your way out.
Class dismissed.
- Happy second anniversary.
- Happy anniversary.
I thought we said no gifts.
I know.
Just open it.
Your time beacon?
I thought we could destroy it together.
You don't have to do that.
I want to.
You know, I never thought
that I could build a life
with anybody but Anna.
But, um, that's exactly what we've done,
in the most unlikely
time and place imaginable.
And I know it may sound strange,
but I'm...
glad that we were stranded here.
Me too.
I have one more surprise for you.
Ray.
- The beacon.
- _
It's picking up a signal!
Shiby-washo,
sara-so-so.
You are suffering from
linguistic disorientation.
It's a side effect of
such a severe time jump.
- I can't hear anything.
- It'll pass.
- What?
- Gideon, status update?
I am detecting a time beacon
signaling the Waverider.
But then again, this is 1960.
1960?
The temporal navigation system
was compromised and did its best
to return us as close
as possible to 1958.
Salypso changa.
Sorry we're late.
Two years. You left us stranded in 1958.
That was never my intention.
Can't we rev the ship back up,
go back to 1958, and
pick that us up?
You know very well that we can't.
Travel back to events we participated in
without time folding in on itself.
- Raymond.
- Good to see you.
Good to see you. Glad you're back.
Martin.
It's just...
I have 50 midterms to grade next week...
by hand...
and I've just come to terms
with living in the technological dark ages.
I have students who count on me.
Kendra and I have friends and a life...
Ray.
This is what we've been waiting for.
Remember the mission.
We can finally be ourselves again.
Look, I'm sorry. This is all...
very intense.
It's been two years for us.
We thought you guys were dead.
That very well might have been the case.
Chronos attacked us.
He sabotaged the ship and took Snart.
We need to recover Ms. Lance as well.
- Where is she?
- Uh, no idea.
People go their separate
ways, lose track of each other.
Gideon, search the timeline
for any reference of a Sara Lance,
or a blonde vigilante, circa 1960.
Right away, Captain.
Why did Chronos take Snart?
Couldn't he have taken you all in?
You sound dubious.
If Chronos was gonna settle
for taking one person,
you'd think it would be you.
He took Snart for a reason.
Uh, hello?
A UFO sighting in Hub City in 1960
has created a time anomaly.
It looks like your friends survived.
And what would they be doing in 1960?
That is out of the question, Mr. Palmer.
What are we talking about?
You changed.
Yeah, I couldn't wait to get back in jeans.
So what's going on?
I have to go back to our apartment.
Why?
Because when we were unexpectedly picked up
by a time ship, I was not
carrying the ATOM suit.
And not for nothing, but we spent
the last two years
together in that apartment.
Is there anything you
want me to pick up for you?
Your favorite coffee mug?
Our lucky water vase?
Lucky water vase?
Yeah, it's a long but endearing story.
Nothing?
Don't you care about
anything that we left behind?
Yes, but I don't think that I need
to go back to the apartment
to get any of our old junk.
Old junk? We lived there this morning.
We certainly can't leave
Raymond's exo-suit back in 1960.
I'll accompany you back to your apartment.
We'll recover the future tech
and any lucky ceramics.
Ray...
I'll get those blouses you like.
Well, I hope that Sara takes
to being back on the team
better than Ray seems to be taking it.
Depends, I suppose, on
where exactly she ended up.
_
_
Ta-er
al-Sahfer.
I can see that the herbs
and meditation are working.
Your thirst to kill no
longer clouds your judgment.
Proceed.
Stand up.
I've enjoyed watching you train.
I have never seen a
pupil advance so quickly.
I've had time to learn who I am,
and what it is I'm meant to do.
We will watch this one closely, Talia.
There is much you can learn from her.
So, uh...
what's so special about me?
I mean, aside from my
sparkling personality.
Back on the Waverider,
you could've taken your boy, Rip.
But you took me instead.
Why?
Hey, if you're gonna kill me,
you could at least tell me what's going on.
You should have figured it out by now.
After all,
I am supposed to be the dumb one.
How?
I think I deserve to know
what the hell is going on here!
You deserve nothing.
Says the man who sold
us out to the pirates.
When I dropped you off in that forest,
I meant to kill you. That was the plan.
You should've stuck with the plan
and done me a favor.
I wish there were some other way, Mick.
You haven't got the guts.
You want to kill me, kill me.
Only one of us is
walking out of here alive.
You're right.
I knew you lacked the guts.
I am sorry, Mick.
I may not have trusted you
on the ship with the team,
but I always, always
was coming back for you.
Seems like one of us lost track of time.
Well, how long did you...
By the time they found me,
I'd nearly lost my mind.
I was so weak,
I was strangling rats to survive.
When who found you?
The Time Masters.
They took me to a place
called the Vanishing Point.
Time doesn't exist there
the way it does on Earth.
I've spent lifetimes
being restored by them,
training by them, fighting by them...
being reborn.
And, uh, when exactly did your new friends
give you the, uh, lobotomy?
You think I was hunting
you and your friends
because the Time Masters made me?
They barely had to ask.
Hey, uh, can we talk for a sec?
Just... with everything that's going on,
I don't know that this is the best time.
You say that like there's
gonna be a better time.
Okay.
Look, we spent every night
the last two years together,
playing board games, eating,
deciding who was gonna cook
and who was going to wash dishes,
falling asleep to "The Ed Sullivan Show."
But the second you saw the Waverider,
it was like those two years never happened.
Look, we were both trying to adapt
to an impossible situation.
But you are not a college professor,
and I'm definitely not a librarian.
So honestly, I'm just excited
to be able to be myself again.
I mean, aren't you even a little bit happy
to be back on the ship?
I was happy with the
life we built together,
what I thought would be our future.
And this just all feels
like moving backwards.
Moving backwards.
What if Sara didn't move
forwards with her life...
she moved backwards?
She said she wanted to go to
a place where she belonged.
What's the one place in
1958 she already called home?
The League of Assassins.
There is one source that we could check
to test your theory.
Gideon, bring up the Shadow Record.
Shadow Record?
The list of every member
of the League of Assassins
since the invention of
writing in 3200 B.C.
Fascinating, except these sheets of papyrus
are entirely blank.
No, no, no. The League uses invisible ink.
I did my graduate thesis at
the Academy on their history.
Gideon.
Sara said that Ra's al Ghul
had lived nearly a
century before she met him.
Thanks to the Lazarus Pit.
It's basically a life-extending Jacuzzi,
located in a place that's the
opposite of life-extending.
You should count yourself
lucky, Dr. Palmer.
Only a handful of outsiders
have been inside the League's fortress
and lived to tell the tale.
You are correct, Captain.
There is a mention
of a Ta-er al-Sahfer.
That's Sara's League of Assassins name.
According to the Shadow Record,
she joined the League in 1958.
Incredible... Sara became a member
of the secret organization
that trained her to be an assassin
50 years prior to when
she initially joined.
Sara needs our help.
By all accounts, Ra's al Ghul
is a very controlling,
very homicidal fanatic.
Gideon, chart a course for Nanda Parbat.
Look, if you're gonna kill
me, just do it already.
I'm not gonna kill you.
I'm gonna take a trip back to Central City
and visit your baby sister.
The beautiful thing about time travel
is I get to kill her more than once.
I can kill Lisa in front of you,
go back in time,
kill her in front of you again
and again and again.
Sir, several anomalies
in the timeline
suggest that the Waverider has
touched down in Nanda Parbat.
Chart a course.
I used to think the most beautiful thing
on Earth was fire.
Now I know
it's vengeance.
Perhaps Jefferson and I should...
Extricating Sara from the likes
of the League requires stealth.
So no Firestorm for the two of you.
And you're out of practice,
so no ATOM suit unless
absolutely necessary.
Look out!
Thanks.
Well done, Jefferson.
You guard the exit while I find Sara.
We will be in and out of here faster
than you can say "Ra's al Ghul."
Shh.
Sara.
It's me.
Rip?
I'm here to bring you back.
I'm so sorry that it's taken me so long.
- Who else is here?
- The entire team.
Well, except for Mr. Snart.
I'll explain everything back on the...
_
_
Something's wrong.
They should have been back by now.
Well, I think this counts
as absolutely necessary.
I've got my exo-suit shrunk down,
and I can miniaturize
and do some tiny sneaking.
It's been two years since
you've used that suit.
And that's after you scavenged it
for parts for your time beacon.
You don't even know if it works.
Is now really the time for
your little marital spat?
We're not married.
Can we just keep it down, please?
- Sara?
- Found her.
_
Oh... hey.
Hey.
_
Sara, what the hell?
You shouldn't have come here.
Yeah, I'm starting to get that.
We came here to rescue you.
I don't need to be rescued.
I've found peace here.
Peace with the League of Assassins?
That must be the first time that
sentence has ever been uttered.
Oh, I can't believe I'm back here.
If this is retribution of some kind
for stranding you in 1958...
It is the will of Ra's al Ghul.
Trespassers are to be executed.
We just need a little more
time to get through to her.
Do Time Masters have a
different understanding
of the word "executed"?
No, no, no. It's called "time drift."
When one spends too long
in an alien timeline,
one loses ties with one's former self,
former identity.
Oh, my God.
What?
I didn't understand it before,
but my powers... they went dormant.
- What are you talking about?
- My wings.
You must have noticed
that I haven't been able
to "hawk out" in almost two years.
I just thought that you didn't want to.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because it was so hard
for you to give up hope
that the team would return.
When you finally did, you
started to be happy again,
and I couldn't bear
telling you that I wasn't.
- That ain't good.
- I had no idea.
Look, Ray,
I loved being with you.
I wasn't just losing my powers.
I was losing my memories of my past lives.
I was starting to lose myself.
I'm sorry. I...
But, look, you didn't have to protect me.
I could have handled the truth.
It couldn't have been so
easy for Raymond, either,
having to give up being the ATOM.
I'm sorry, can we have a private moment?
I think we all wish you would've had
this moment in private.
Don't you think that we were meant
for something greater
than being stuck in 1960,
eating fondue with the neighbors?
Yeah, we were meant to be
tortured and executed in
Nanda "I can't believe
I'm back here" Parbat.
If we die,
at least it would be in
pursuit of a greater purpose.
- That's it.
- What's it?
Ra's al Ghul's purpose in
life is to see that the League
continues with all of its
ancient traditions intact...
Including murdering intruders?
I will appeal to Ra's al Ghul's respect
for the League's traditions,
invoking one of them right now.
Well, what kind of traditions, man?
Guards!
Guards!
Would you mind loosening
these up a little bit
before you leave?
Just out of curiosity,
what do you think your new
masters are gonna do with you
once you've delivered the team up to them?
I don't expect there's a pension plan
for old bounty hunters.
Once they get what they want from you,
they're gonna toss you aside.
Like you tossed me aside?
You and I both made choices
that led us to this moment.
What matters, Mick, is your next move.
And I'm willing to bet
that some little piece of the old you
is in that armor somewhere.
No.
You're wrong.
Mr. Hunter.
Captain, as point of fact.
Right.
Well, I do hope your
request for an audience
is not an attempt to
justify your trespass here.
Most certainly not.
But it would be remiss of me
if I didn't use this opportunity
to reiterate that Sara
is very important to me...
to all of us.
And as she is to me.
And as you can all see, she
has chosen to remain here.
Yes, well, if that is her wish,
we will indeed honor it.
Well, thank you.
But your deaths will make
that concession irrelevant.
Well, according to my
understanding of League Law,
the whole death thing can be avoided,
should we prevail at trial.
Yeah, I don't think these guys
are the "People's Court" type.
I demand a trial by combat.
And how is a man such
as you so well-versed
on our traditions?
Do we have an accord?
May victory be yours.
I was under the impression
that I would be fighting you.
Then it would seem your
understanding of our laws
requires some refinement.
You see,
I may choose any champion I wish,
as may you.
I'll do it.
You haven't had very much
experience in swordsmanship,
Mr. Palmer.
I nominate Ms. Saunders.
What? No.
Didn't you hear? She can't even hawk...
I accept.
- Kendra, you can't...
- I've got this.
You have to put a stop to this.
Sara taught Kendra to
control her warrior side.
I believe that Kendra can
remind Sara of her humanity.
Before or after Sara kills her?
Sara.
Ta-er
al-Sahfer.
Whatever your name is now.
I know you don't want to kill me.
Argh!
Want is irrelevant.
I serve Ra's al Ghul.
Remember that move?
You taught it to me.
Your teacher was excellent.
Sara, no!
Argh!
Sara.
You're not a murderer or an assassin.
_
No!
You're the White Canary.
I know that sound.
Chronos.
_
_
You can't face him; you can't defeat him.
_
_
_
You brought him here. It's
only right you kill him.
It's a long story, pal.
Ray!
- You son of a bitch.
- Don't do it.
- Don't kill him.
- Snart?
Sorry, don't kill Chronos?
He's not Chronos. Show them.
My God.
There is no God.
I imagine you have some questions
about what you witnessed.
When the lady you call Sara
Lance first arrived here,
her skills were unmatched.
It was as if she had
completed the training before.
I suppose that's because
you're both from the future.
When I came to your doorstep,
for the second time in my life,
I thought that I could find a home here,
that this is where I really belong.
But your soul is divided
by your ability to kill
and your desire to show mercy.
And there is no place for one so conflicted
within the League.
Ta-er
al-Sahfer,
I release you.
You can reclaim your previous name
and your past life.
Thank you.
In October 2008,
please see that your
daughter is off the coast
of an island in the North China Sea...
Lian Yu.
Why would I send Talia on such a journey?
Not Talia.
Your daughter yet to be born.
I'm pretty sure you'll call her Nyssa.
You think this is all over?
I will kill every single one of you.
I will watch you all burn!
You...
you should have killed
me when you had the ch...
You owe us an explanation.
Yes, it's quite remarkable
Mr. Rory is working
for the Time Masters,
considering you killed him.
If you think back, I never
actually said I killed him.
No, you just let us think that you did.
I didn't have to try too hard, did I?
Well, maybe I should have.
And at least he wouldn't
have would up a chew toy
for the Time Masters.
But if you did, we wouldn't
have this opportunity.
An opportunity? To do what?
To reform Mr. Rory.
He killed Aldus.
Under the influence of the Time Masters.
Chronos killed Aldus.
Mr. Rory was fighting on our side that day.
I know what it's like to be
trained by an organization
for one purpose, to kill,
and the kind of loyalty
that it can inspire.
I need to know that we can reach Rory.
For my own sake.
The Time Masters took one of our own
and turned him against us.
I say we undo their handiwork.
Rory saved my life back in the gulag.
He's more than just a
criminal and an arsonist.
He's a member of our team.
He's a lost cause.
Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that.
You will see that miracles
abound on this old timeship.
Gideon, start the regeneration process.
What do you mean by "regeneration"?
I took genetic samples from each of you
at the start of our voyage
for this exact eventuality.
Why am I only hearing about this now?
Because none of you had lost a limb yet.
Ow.
So were you gonna tell me?
Sorry, tell you what?
That you were moving
into your room without me?
Oh, um,
I just assumed that you wanted some space.
You made it pretty clear that
you were over our old life.
Look...
just because I wasn't
satisfied with the circumstances
doesn't mean I didn't
fall in love with you.
It's just, I...
I don't want to lose you.
And I don't want to lose you.
For the first time
in probably centuries,
I actually got to decide who
I want to fall in love with,
instead of having it decided for me.
So it doesn't matter where
or when we are.
You're the person I want to be with.
Wow.
That was... was that, like, rehearsed?
Because that was really good.
So...
what do you want?
I believe we're ready to leave 1960.
And go where? I mean, when?
2147.
Mere decades before Vandal
Savage conquered the world.
I thought you had no idea where he was.
You said Savage had been lost to history.
Not world-changing history.
Records of the period are scarce,
but I've always known
that Vandal Savage can be located in 2147.
So why haven't you told us this sooner?
Because that period of history
is fraught with more peril
than I was willing to risk.
We have no choice
but to stop Vandal Savage in 2147...
or to die trying.
Well, I've died before.
So have I.
Gideon, plot a course
for Kasnia Conglomerate...
The year 2147.
named Vandal Savage
conquered the world
and murdered my wife and child.
I have assembled an elite team
to hunt him throughout time
and stop his rise to power.
Unfortunately, my plan
is opposed by the body
I'd sworn my allegiance
to, the Time Masters.
In the future, my friends
may not be heroes,
but if we succeed, they will
be remembered as Legends.
Previously on "Legends
of Tomorrow"...
Boys, ship's all yours.
Mick!
What are you gonna do, Snart?
My husband and I get
along just fine on our own.
We're still waiting on Sara
and the two lovebirds to get back.
Seems they've taken quite a shine to 1958.
Sara swore her allegiance
to the League of Assassins.
It's time for her to return home.
My friend Thea calls it a bloodlust.
Argh!
- Sara, stop!
- I'm a monster.
Not this guy again.
Captain, Chronos has
breached the starboard hatch.
How is that possible?
Clearly he's received some new
toys from his Time Master friends
since our last encounter.
- _
- 1958's swell and all,
but I miss the Internet...
and cell phones.
Gideon! Seal the bulkheads from here...
Grey, come on! Let's do this!
If we merge on the Waverider,
it could destroy the entire ship!
Um, are you not paying attention
to what Chronos is doing?
Fall back!
Get to the Jumpship!
Hey, come on!
You sure it was a good idea
leaving the Terminator on the bridge?
Gideon has lockdown protocols which...
Have been overridden, Captain.
Chronos is utilizing superior
Time Master technology.
I cannot countermand his orders.
Uh...
what are they doing?
- Hey!
- Hey!
Where did they go?
why did they leave us?
He's timejumping the ship.
The ladies will be left in 1958.
- What about Ray?
- Like I said.
Let's go! We have to stop him!
Argh!
Oh!
Gideon, open the doors on my mark.
Get to the Jumpship and escape.
We are not abandoning you.
No, you are obeying a direct
order from your captain.
Now, Gideon.
I don't know if the Jumpship will even fly
from the Temporal Zone.
It doesn't matter.
- We're not leaving our team.
- What happened to:
"We could destroy the whole ship"?
A preferable alternative
to losing our friends.
Don't you agree?
Yeah.
We could've just opened
the door, Jefferson.
Sorry, I got a little carried...
away.
Oh, hey, hey, hey.
Oh, God. Where's Chronos?
He absconded with Mr.
Snart on the Jumpship.
I'm sorry, Captain.
Why would Chronos take Snart?
Gideon, can you track them?
We have a more pressing matter.
Strap yourselves in.
What's going on?
Chronos has sabotaged
the navigation system.
Unless we can find a
way to alter the course,
we'll be trapped in the Temporal Zone
for all time.
Gideon...
I cannot override Chronos' commands.
What did you do?
Rebooted Gideon.
Until she's fully operational,
we're free-falling through time.
We just have to stay calm.
Wherever they timejumped... whenever...
they'll come back to
this exact same moment.
_
They're not coming back.
Let's go.
Look, as a former Eagle Scout
with over 100 merit badges...
no big deal...
the first rule of getting
lost is stay the same place.
That way, you can be found.
And as a former member of
the League of Assassins,
the first rule when you've been attacked
is to keep moving.
I sort of think League wisdom
trumps the Eagle Scouts here.
Plus, Savage is still out there.
Guys, the rest of the team
would not leave us marooned in 1958.
Except for, that's exactly what they did.
You said it yourself...
you have a time machine,
and you're never late.
They're not coming back.
- _
- One good thing about 1958: no car alarms.
I didn't think they had
cars in Nanda Parbat.
Dated a lot of delinquents as a teenager.
And now we're the delinquents.
If we leave Harmony Falls,
how's the rest of the team gonna find us?
We don't know if they're looking for us.
But we know Savage is. We can't take him.
That means we can't stay here.
Let's go.
_
_
Oh, what did you do to our apartment?
I'm creating a time beacon...
a transponder which matches
the Waverider's quantum signature,
basically creating a radio wave firewall
that only our team can see.
It's cute that you think either of us
understood a word of that.
But I hope it works.
In the meantime,
maybe we should invest in some real beds.
_
Congratulations.
You are a doctor.
You know, I thought about
going to medical school once.
Here you go. $10,000 salary.
That's it? I made more as a barista.
Well, it's 1958.
You're lucky to make that as a woman.
Touché. Your turn.
I miss Netflix.
Aha!
The time beacon radio
is officially complete.
- Well, great.
- Okay, here we go.
Come on.
Here we go.
Hope there's a spot on that game
that says "Return to the Waverider,"
because that's what's about to happen.
Here we go.
I just have to fix a few of the kinks.
The next version will
be much less explosive.
Next version?
I thought you said you were
gonna say something to him.
Say what?
That your beacon... it's a waste of time.
They're not coming back, Ray.
And it's not because
the Waverider is broken,
or they're lost, or they can't find us,
or whatever.
It's because they're dead.
And the sooner that you accept that,
the sooner you can move on...
the sooner we can all move on.
So what? We're just supposed to give up?
On being rescued, yeah.
- Sara, what are you doing?
- I can't stay here.
I need to find somewhere I belong.
Sara, wait. You can't go.
Savage is still out there.
Don't draw undue attention on yourselves.
Sara.
Look, you two have each other.
Most people,
in any time period,
aren't that lucky.
Take care.
- _
- Which gives us mesoscopic polymer
and biomolecular simulations.
Yes, Mr. Gates?
If that's true,
and you can soften matter,
then doesn't that mean
you could theoretically
miniaturize an atom?
In theory, yes.
But trust me,
you don't want to try it at home.
And definitely not for at
least another, mm, 40 years.
Uh, aren't you supposed to be at home?
I thought you said your son was sick.
Yes, William.
My in-laws are at my house,
so if you don't mind,
I'd rather be in here.
Your son is Bill Gates?
Bill?
That has a nice ring to it.
Midterms are next week.
Go ahead and pick up an
exam book on your way out.
Class dismissed.
- Happy second anniversary.
- Happy anniversary.
I thought we said no gifts.
I know.
Just open it.
Your time beacon?
I thought we could destroy it together.
You don't have to do that.
I want to.
You know, I never thought
that I could build a life
with anybody but Anna.
But, um, that's exactly what we've done,
in the most unlikely
time and place imaginable.
And I know it may sound strange,
but I'm...
glad that we were stranded here.
Me too.
I have one more surprise for you.
Ray.
- The beacon.
- _
It's picking up a signal!
Shiby-washo,
sara-so-so.
You are suffering from
linguistic disorientation.
It's a side effect of
such a severe time jump.
- I can't hear anything.
- It'll pass.
- What?
- Gideon, status update?
I am detecting a time beacon
signaling the Waverider.
But then again, this is 1960.
1960?
The temporal navigation system
was compromised and did its best
to return us as close
as possible to 1958.
Salypso changa.
Sorry we're late.
Two years. You left us stranded in 1958.
That was never my intention.
Can't we rev the ship back up,
go back to 1958, and
pick that us up?
You know very well that we can't.
Travel back to events we participated in
without time folding in on itself.
- Raymond.
- Good to see you.
Good to see you. Glad you're back.
Martin.
It's just...
I have 50 midterms to grade next week...
by hand...
and I've just come to terms
with living in the technological dark ages.
I have students who count on me.
Kendra and I have friends and a life...
Ray.
This is what we've been waiting for.
Remember the mission.
We can finally be ourselves again.
Look, I'm sorry. This is all...
very intense.
It's been two years for us.
We thought you guys were dead.
That very well might have been the case.
Chronos attacked us.
He sabotaged the ship and took Snart.
We need to recover Ms. Lance as well.
- Where is she?
- Uh, no idea.
People go their separate
ways, lose track of each other.
Gideon, search the timeline
for any reference of a Sara Lance,
or a blonde vigilante, circa 1960.
Right away, Captain.
Why did Chronos take Snart?
Couldn't he have taken you all in?
You sound dubious.
If Chronos was gonna settle
for taking one person,
you'd think it would be you.
He took Snart for a reason.
Uh, hello?
A UFO sighting in Hub City in 1960
has created a time anomaly.
It looks like your friends survived.
And what would they be doing in 1960?
That is out of the question, Mr. Palmer.
What are we talking about?
You changed.
Yeah, I couldn't wait to get back in jeans.
So what's going on?
I have to go back to our apartment.
Why?
Because when we were unexpectedly picked up
by a time ship, I was not
carrying the ATOM suit.
And not for nothing, but we spent
the last two years
together in that apartment.
Is there anything you
want me to pick up for you?
Your favorite coffee mug?
Our lucky water vase?
Lucky water vase?
Yeah, it's a long but endearing story.
Nothing?
Don't you care about
anything that we left behind?
Yes, but I don't think that I need
to go back to the apartment
to get any of our old junk.
Old junk? We lived there this morning.
We certainly can't leave
Raymond's exo-suit back in 1960.
I'll accompany you back to your apartment.
We'll recover the future tech
and any lucky ceramics.
Ray...
I'll get those blouses you like.
Well, I hope that Sara takes
to being back on the team
better than Ray seems to be taking it.
Depends, I suppose, on
where exactly she ended up.
_
_
Ta-er
al-Sahfer.
I can see that the herbs
and meditation are working.
Your thirst to kill no
longer clouds your judgment.
Proceed.
Stand up.
I've enjoyed watching you train.
I have never seen a
pupil advance so quickly.
I've had time to learn who I am,
and what it is I'm meant to do.
We will watch this one closely, Talia.
There is much you can learn from her.
So, uh...
what's so special about me?
I mean, aside from my
sparkling personality.
Back on the Waverider,
you could've taken your boy, Rip.
But you took me instead.
Why?
Hey, if you're gonna kill me,
you could at least tell me what's going on.
You should have figured it out by now.
After all,
I am supposed to be the dumb one.
How?
I think I deserve to know
what the hell is going on here!
You deserve nothing.
Says the man who sold
us out to the pirates.
When I dropped you off in that forest,
I meant to kill you. That was the plan.
You should've stuck with the plan
and done me a favor.
I wish there were some other way, Mick.
You haven't got the guts.
You want to kill me, kill me.
Only one of us is
walking out of here alive.
You're right.
I knew you lacked the guts.
I am sorry, Mick.
I may not have trusted you
on the ship with the team,
but I always, always
was coming back for you.
Seems like one of us lost track of time.
Well, how long did you...
By the time they found me,
I'd nearly lost my mind.
I was so weak,
I was strangling rats to survive.
When who found you?
The Time Masters.
They took me to a place
called the Vanishing Point.
Time doesn't exist there
the way it does on Earth.
I've spent lifetimes
being restored by them,
training by them, fighting by them...
being reborn.
And, uh, when exactly did your new friends
give you the, uh, lobotomy?
You think I was hunting
you and your friends
because the Time Masters made me?
They barely had to ask.
Hey, uh, can we talk for a sec?
Just... with everything that's going on,
I don't know that this is the best time.
You say that like there's
gonna be a better time.
Okay.
Look, we spent every night
the last two years together,
playing board games, eating,
deciding who was gonna cook
and who was going to wash dishes,
falling asleep to "The Ed Sullivan Show."
But the second you saw the Waverider,
it was like those two years never happened.
Look, we were both trying to adapt
to an impossible situation.
But you are not a college professor,
and I'm definitely not a librarian.
So honestly, I'm just excited
to be able to be myself again.
I mean, aren't you even a little bit happy
to be back on the ship?
I was happy with the
life we built together,
what I thought would be our future.
And this just all feels
like moving backwards.
Moving backwards.
What if Sara didn't move
forwards with her life...
she moved backwards?
She said she wanted to go to
a place where she belonged.
What's the one place in
1958 she already called home?
The League of Assassins.
There is one source that we could check
to test your theory.
Gideon, bring up the Shadow Record.
Shadow Record?
The list of every member
of the League of Assassins
since the invention of
writing in 3200 B.C.
Fascinating, except these sheets of papyrus
are entirely blank.
No, no, no. The League uses invisible ink.
I did my graduate thesis at
the Academy on their history.
Gideon.
Sara said that Ra's al Ghul
had lived nearly a
century before she met him.
Thanks to the Lazarus Pit.
It's basically a life-extending Jacuzzi,
located in a place that's the
opposite of life-extending.
You should count yourself
lucky, Dr. Palmer.
Only a handful of outsiders
have been inside the League's fortress
and lived to tell the tale.
You are correct, Captain.
There is a mention
of a Ta-er al-Sahfer.
That's Sara's League of Assassins name.
According to the Shadow Record,
she joined the League in 1958.
Incredible... Sara became a member
of the secret organization
that trained her to be an assassin
50 years prior to when
she initially joined.
Sara needs our help.
By all accounts, Ra's al Ghul
is a very controlling,
very homicidal fanatic.
Gideon, chart a course for Nanda Parbat.
Look, if you're gonna kill
me, just do it already.
I'm not gonna kill you.
I'm gonna take a trip back to Central City
and visit your baby sister.
The beautiful thing about time travel
is I get to kill her more than once.
I can kill Lisa in front of you,
go back in time,
kill her in front of you again
and again and again.
Sir, several anomalies
in the timeline
suggest that the Waverider has
touched down in Nanda Parbat.
Chart a course.
I used to think the most beautiful thing
on Earth was fire.
Now I know
it's vengeance.
Perhaps Jefferson and I should...
Extricating Sara from the likes
of the League requires stealth.
So no Firestorm for the two of you.
And you're out of practice,
so no ATOM suit unless
absolutely necessary.
Look out!
Thanks.
Well done, Jefferson.
You guard the exit while I find Sara.
We will be in and out of here faster
than you can say "Ra's al Ghul."
Shh.
Sara.
It's me.
Rip?
I'm here to bring you back.
I'm so sorry that it's taken me so long.
- Who else is here?
- The entire team.
Well, except for Mr. Snart.
I'll explain everything back on the...
_
_
Something's wrong.
They should have been back by now.
Well, I think this counts
as absolutely necessary.
I've got my exo-suit shrunk down,
and I can miniaturize
and do some tiny sneaking.
It's been two years since
you've used that suit.
And that's after you scavenged it
for parts for your time beacon.
You don't even know if it works.
Is now really the time for
your little marital spat?
We're not married.
Can we just keep it down, please?
- Sara?
- Found her.
_
Oh... hey.
Hey.
_
Sara, what the hell?
You shouldn't have come here.
Yeah, I'm starting to get that.
We came here to rescue you.
I don't need to be rescued.
I've found peace here.
Peace with the League of Assassins?
That must be the first time that
sentence has ever been uttered.
Oh, I can't believe I'm back here.
If this is retribution of some kind
for stranding you in 1958...
It is the will of Ra's al Ghul.
Trespassers are to be executed.
We just need a little more
time to get through to her.
Do Time Masters have a
different understanding
of the word "executed"?
No, no, no. It's called "time drift."
When one spends too long
in an alien timeline,
one loses ties with one's former self,
former identity.
Oh, my God.
What?
I didn't understand it before,
but my powers... they went dormant.
- What are you talking about?
- My wings.
You must have noticed
that I haven't been able
to "hawk out" in almost two years.
I just thought that you didn't want to.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because it was so hard
for you to give up hope
that the team would return.
When you finally did, you
started to be happy again,
and I couldn't bear
telling you that I wasn't.
- That ain't good.
- I had no idea.
Look, Ray,
I loved being with you.
I wasn't just losing my powers.
I was losing my memories of my past lives.
I was starting to lose myself.
I'm sorry. I...
But, look, you didn't have to protect me.
I could have handled the truth.
It couldn't have been so
easy for Raymond, either,
having to give up being the ATOM.
I'm sorry, can we have a private moment?
I think we all wish you would've had
this moment in private.
Don't you think that we were meant
for something greater
than being stuck in 1960,
eating fondue with the neighbors?
Yeah, we were meant to be
tortured and executed in
Nanda "I can't believe
I'm back here" Parbat.
If we die,
at least it would be in
pursuit of a greater purpose.
- That's it.
- What's it?
Ra's al Ghul's purpose in
life is to see that the League
continues with all of its
ancient traditions intact...
Including murdering intruders?
I will appeal to Ra's al Ghul's respect
for the League's traditions,
invoking one of them right now.
Well, what kind of traditions, man?
Guards!
Guards!
Would you mind loosening
these up a little bit
before you leave?
Just out of curiosity,
what do you think your new
masters are gonna do with you
once you've delivered the team up to them?
I don't expect there's a pension plan
for old bounty hunters.
Once they get what they want from you,
they're gonna toss you aside.
Like you tossed me aside?
You and I both made choices
that led us to this moment.
What matters, Mick, is your next move.
And I'm willing to bet
that some little piece of the old you
is in that armor somewhere.
No.
You're wrong.
Mr. Hunter.
Captain, as point of fact.
Right.
Well, I do hope your
request for an audience
is not an attempt to
justify your trespass here.
Most certainly not.
But it would be remiss of me
if I didn't use this opportunity
to reiterate that Sara
is very important to me...
to all of us.
And as she is to me.
And as you can all see, she
has chosen to remain here.
Yes, well, if that is her wish,
we will indeed honor it.
Well, thank you.
But your deaths will make
that concession irrelevant.
Well, according to my
understanding of League Law,
the whole death thing can be avoided,
should we prevail at trial.
Yeah, I don't think these guys
are the "People's Court" type.
I demand a trial by combat.
And how is a man such
as you so well-versed
on our traditions?
Do we have an accord?
May victory be yours.
I was under the impression
that I would be fighting you.
Then it would seem your
understanding of our laws
requires some refinement.
You see,
I may choose any champion I wish,
as may you.
I'll do it.
You haven't had very much
experience in swordsmanship,
Mr. Palmer.
I nominate Ms. Saunders.
What? No.
Didn't you hear? She can't even hawk...
I accept.
- Kendra, you can't...
- I've got this.
You have to put a stop to this.
Sara taught Kendra to
control her warrior side.
I believe that Kendra can
remind Sara of her humanity.
Before or after Sara kills her?
Sara.
Ta-er
al-Sahfer.
Whatever your name is now.
I know you don't want to kill me.
Argh!
Want is irrelevant.
I serve Ra's al Ghul.
Remember that move?
You taught it to me.
Your teacher was excellent.
Sara, no!
Argh!
Sara.
You're not a murderer or an assassin.
_
No!
You're the White Canary.
I know that sound.
Chronos.
_
_
You can't face him; you can't defeat him.
_
_
_
You brought him here. It's
only right you kill him.
It's a long story, pal.
Ray!
- You son of a bitch.
- Don't do it.
- Don't kill him.
- Snart?
Sorry, don't kill Chronos?
He's not Chronos. Show them.
My God.
There is no God.
I imagine you have some questions
about what you witnessed.
When the lady you call Sara
Lance first arrived here,
her skills were unmatched.
It was as if she had
completed the training before.
I suppose that's because
you're both from the future.
When I came to your doorstep,
for the second time in my life,
I thought that I could find a home here,
that this is where I really belong.
But your soul is divided
by your ability to kill
and your desire to show mercy.
And there is no place for one so conflicted
within the League.
Ta-er
al-Sahfer,
I release you.
You can reclaim your previous name
and your past life.
Thank you.
In October 2008,
please see that your
daughter is off the coast
of an island in the North China Sea...
Lian Yu.
Why would I send Talia on such a journey?
Not Talia.
Your daughter yet to be born.
I'm pretty sure you'll call her Nyssa.
You think this is all over?
I will kill every single one of you.
I will watch you all burn!
You...
you should have killed
me when you had the ch...
You owe us an explanation.
Yes, it's quite remarkable
Mr. Rory is working
for the Time Masters,
considering you killed him.
If you think back, I never
actually said I killed him.
No, you just let us think that you did.
I didn't have to try too hard, did I?
Well, maybe I should have.
And at least he wouldn't
have would up a chew toy
for the Time Masters.
But if you did, we wouldn't
have this opportunity.
An opportunity? To do what?
To reform Mr. Rory.
He killed Aldus.
Under the influence of the Time Masters.
Chronos killed Aldus.
Mr. Rory was fighting on our side that day.
I know what it's like to be
trained by an organization
for one purpose, to kill,
and the kind of loyalty
that it can inspire.
I need to know that we can reach Rory.
For my own sake.
The Time Masters took one of our own
and turned him against us.
I say we undo their handiwork.
Rory saved my life back in the gulag.
He's more than just a
criminal and an arsonist.
He's a member of our team.
He's a lost cause.
Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that.
You will see that miracles
abound on this old timeship.
Gideon, start the regeneration process.
What do you mean by "regeneration"?
I took genetic samples from each of you
at the start of our voyage
for this exact eventuality.
Why am I only hearing about this now?
Because none of you had lost a limb yet.
Ow.
So were you gonna tell me?
Sorry, tell you what?
That you were moving
into your room without me?
Oh, um,
I just assumed that you wanted some space.
You made it pretty clear that
you were over our old life.
Look...
just because I wasn't
satisfied with the circumstances
doesn't mean I didn't
fall in love with you.
It's just, I...
I don't want to lose you.
And I don't want to lose you.
For the first time
in probably centuries,
I actually got to decide who
I want to fall in love with,
instead of having it decided for me.
So it doesn't matter where
or when we are.
You're the person I want to be with.
Wow.
That was... was that, like, rehearsed?
Because that was really good.
So...
what do you want?
I believe we're ready to leave 1960.
And go where? I mean, when?
2147.
Mere decades before Vandal
Savage conquered the world.
I thought you had no idea where he was.
You said Savage had been lost to history.
Not world-changing history.
Records of the period are scarce,
but I've always known
that Vandal Savage can be located in 2147.
So why haven't you told us this sooner?
Because that period of history
is fraught with more peril
than I was willing to risk.
We have no choice
but to stop Vandal Savage in 2147...
or to die trying.
Well, I've died before.
So have I.
Gideon, plot a course
for Kasnia Conglomerate...
The year 2147.
