Legends of Tomorrow (2016–…): Season 7, Episode 6 - Deux Ex Latrina - full transcript
- Sales for the first
generation of Ava clones
have been through the roof
as predicted.
- My dream of an Ava
in every home and business
has become a reality.
- Wonderful.
Congratulations, sir.
[suspenseful electronic music]
♪
Uh, sir...
♪
I was going to wait until
after the investment meeting
to mention this.
But I think it's time
you told me
about this mystery project
you've been working on.
It's just that you've
diverted billions into it,
and I really feel like
it's time
I knew what the project
was all about.
- Where do you think
I'm taking you?
[elevator bell dings]
Ta-da!
[dramatic music]
[lights clicking]
It's called a Waverider.
- Waverider?
Oh, because it's shaped
like a boat,
like it rides on the waves.
- No, though it can
go underwater.
But never mind that,
Waverider is what it's called
in the futuristic blueprints
I was given.
It's a time ship.
- Hmm.
Waverider.
Are you married to that name,
or can we still pitch on it?
- Welcome to the bridge,
the nerve center
of the entire ship.
- Hmm, not the most efficient
use of space, though.
Maybe it could double
as a conference room.
- And now it's time for you
to see an old friend.
Gideon, time to wake up.
[power whirs]
There you are.
- My transfer
to the ship's mainframe
appears to be a success.
- You remember Gideon?
- Oh, yes. Her.
- Welcome to your new home,
Gideon.
So much more space to roam
than that tiny hard drive
you were in.
Oh, take a couple laps around,
stretch your legs.
You have vantage points
all over the ship.
[ominous music]
♪
- You followed my
exact specifications,
but I don't have any
visual access in section A2.
- Well, section A2 is
the only bathroom on the ship.
Can't have you
spying on me in there.
A man needs his privacy.
- [chuckles] Yes.
Sir, as impressive
as this ship is,
how does it relate
to the Ava Corp mission
of improving people's lives
through clone technology
exactly?
- Well, I'm simply expanding
our mission
by adding time travel
to the mix.
But the true perk of this ship
is to finally get revenge
on those time travelers
who abducted me,
used me for my genius,
and then messed with my mind.
- May I remind you that a
Time Master's number one duty
is to protect the timeline
from any
and all threats
to its integrity?
- Yes, yes, Gideon,
that's a given,
considering the job title--
Time Master.
- And before we start,
you must take
the Time Master's oath.
- I swear to protect and defend
the integrity of the timeline
with all my ability
until the end of my days.
- Congratulations. You are now
Time Master of this Waverider.
- Great.
Let's set sail
on our maiden voyage
and protect the timeline
from those damn Legends.
[dramatic music]
[exciting music]
♪
- [shouting]
The machine is ruined,
wrecked, absolutely kaput,
and all because of you lot!
- Okay, hold on,
how is it our fault
we didn't land in Tahiti?
- Because it wasn't designed
to take all you people.
The excess weight
threw it all off, man.
- Okay, so I'm guessing we have
no idea what year we're in?
- The chrono-gauge
and the ignition coil
are both sequenced
to the directional compass,
which was damaged
in the landing.
So no, I don't think so.
- Well, that doesn't sound
too good,
but hey, who needs
a chrono-gauge
when you have
two ex-Time Bureau agents
with extensive
historical knowledge, Gary?
- That's right, Ava.
And, uh,
based on the local flora,
there's a chance
we're in the prehistoric era.
Give or take
a few thousand years.
Maybe we'll see dinosaurs.
- You'd better hope
we don't see a dinosaur, Gary.
- Okay, so it looks like we're
making this prehistoric forest
home for a while.
So let's get comfortable, gang.
[people groan]
- Guys, come on.
This team has been stranded
more times than I can count
and in way worse places
than this.
- She's right.
And I know nothing
has gone our way
since we left Odessa, but...
They're gonna get better.
- Yeah.
- Okay? All right.
So you are the only one
that can fix this time machine.
If you can repair
that directional compass,
are we back in business?
- It would be a difficult task
even if we did have
the proper tools.
- I can help.
- Me too.
- You got two techies
at your disposal, my man.
- Just some peace to be able
to get on with my work
is all I ask.
You know, I will venture off
and maybe find some lodestone
or some other magnetic material
which conducts electricity
and then I can fix the compass.
- Hey, maybe you and B
should go with Dr. Cranky.
We'll set up camp here.
- Mm-hmm. All over it.
- Hey, look, I know we didn't
really get a chance
to talk about
the whole moving in thing.
- No, it's totally cool.
As usual,
we have bigger fish to fry.
- I know, but, you know,
moving into a spiritual realm,
that's--that's a lot to--
to take in.
I just wanna make sure
you're not freaking out.
- Freaking--me?
No, I'm super chill.
I am, however,
concerned about our captains.
- Oh, yeah.
Well, good luck with that. Bye.
- What?
- Yeah.
- Miss you.
- Bye.
[suspenseful music]
- Psst. Hey, you two.
Come here, shut up.
Do either one of you know
how to read lips?
- Who needs to read lips
when Spooner can read minds?
- Mm.
♪
Ooh.
I'm getting some major
anxiety vibes
from Sara right now.
- Yeah.
And I don't need superpowers
to see that Ava is cracking.
They're just stressing
each other out at this point.
- Okay, so let's separate them
so they each
don't have a complete
and total meltdown, okay?
- Hey there, jefa.
How about we hunt down
some dinner?
- Yeah, let's go
stab something.
- Want to go for a hike?
We could get some firewood.
- Yeah.
I would love a multitask.
- Great.
♪
- So...
- Oh, Gary.
- You and Zari.
Saw you talking.
And?
- She asked me to move in
with her in the totem.
- Oh, that's great!
That's not--not great?
Sorry, the more handsome
the face, the harder it is
for me to get a read.
- All right, just back up.
It's just,
I haven't spent that much
time in the totem,
and she sprung it on me
before we time jumped here.
So I really haven't had
a chance to process it.
- Well, Nate, the totem
seems quite small.
How do you get inside?
Are you and Zari gonna live
in a house together?
Will there be pie? 'Cause I
really like strawberry rhubarb.
- I love strawberry rhubarb.
- We need to focus
on today's problems, okay?
How about you guys forage
for some food?
Leaves, nuts, berries,
anything we can eat.
Okay? Go.
- Okay.
- Go.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- You sure you don't want me
to stick around,
be your sounding board?
We can--
- Gary?
- Hmm?
- You will not be
my sounding board today.
Okay? Thank you.
- Okay.
- Go on.
[sighs]
Well, at least
these two ding-dongs
can't screw anything up here
that'll attract
the evil Waverider.

[ominous music]
- Check out that view
of the Temporal Zone.
Worth a million bucks, huh?
- Mm. Considering this ship
cost many thousand times more,
I'm not sure how the board's
gonna feel
about your investment, sir.
- There's one thing you just
can't put a price on,
Assistant Ava.
- Hmm?
- Revenge.
- Ah.
- Captain, we're getting an
alert of several anachronisms
in 1925, Odessa, Texas.
- Hmm. "Captain." I like that.
Odessa. Wait a second. Texas.
That's where
the Legends took me.
Gideon, you found them.
Engage weapons systems.
I'm gonna bomb the
living daylights out of them.
- I am advising against
this course of action.
- How else am I supposed
to wipe them
off the face of the Earth?
- Eliminating the Legends
in this blunt manner
will cause excessive
collateral damage.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Your warning is duly noted.
[engines blasting]
[ship whirring]
[all shout]
[dramatic music]
- Yes! [laughs]
Those bastards finally
got what they deserved.
- That was a lot easier
than I expected.
Can we please go home now, sir?
- No, the captain's impulsive
and violent actions
guarantee ripple effects
in the timeline
that we will have to clean up.
More precise measures
must be taken
when dealing with threats
moving forward.
- Trust me,
this was the only way
to deal with those Legends.
And if any ripples arise,
we'll just use
our brand-new time ship
to smooth them out.
♪
- Hey, buddy. Got your coat.
You okay?
- [sighs] Listen,
we don't really have time
for a rest stop.
We need to find the materials
you need
to fix your time machine, yeah?
- You really don't
understand, do you?
I just told you lot
what you wanted to hear.
In reality, there is no point
in fixing the wretched machine.
- Sure, there was a little
problem with the dismount,
but your invention
actually worked.
- Yeah. So why don't we, uh,
put our shoes back on,
and we can help you
find magnetite
or whatever mineral it is
you need to--
to get your invention
back up and running?
- To fix the machine,
we need to fix the compass.
And in order to do that,
we need magnetic material
which conducts electricity.
Now, I doubt that you would
even know what to look for.
And either way, it's not about
fixing the machine
or not fixing the machine,
you see,
because no matter what I do,
I'm always meant to fail.
♪
You see, my machine,
it was meant to explode.
- Yeah, but it didn't explode.
We're alive and we're here.

fabricated this food.
- Fabricated?
- Mm.

- We've received an alert
about a disturbance
in the timeline.
- Fun.
which thrilling time period
are we headed to next?
- 1925.
- Ooh.
Weren't we just in 1925?
- That is quite a coincidence.
- What's the disturbance,
Gideon?
- J. Edgar Hoover
has disappeared.
And unfortunately,
it is not a coincidence.
My calculations confirm
your attack on the Legends
caused this aberration.
[tense music]
- Well,
if Hoover is the problem,
then Hoover is the solution.
We'll just use
my clone technology.
- [gasps]
And make a clone of Mr. Hoover.
- So we can plop him right back
into the timeline,
and no one will even know.
- Mm-hmm.
- Clones are still human
and humans are fallible.
Remember,
one of your Ava clones
eventually became a Legend
and helped kidnap you.
- Okay, Gideon,
there's absolutely no need
to lump us all in
with that horrible traitor.
- Mr. Hoover is integral
to many seminal moments
in history.
We cannot risk a clone
straying from his
historical to-do list.
- Then we'll combine my clone
tech with your computer tech
and make a Hoover robot.
We can program him to carry out
every action
that is critical to history.
- That's actually
quite brilliant.
- I know, I came up with it.

no matter what we do,
we make everything worse.
And I try to keep it together,
you know, for--
for Sara and the team.
But I don't always have
all the answers,
and being co-captains in life
and on the ship,
it's a delicate balance.
Sometimes I just wish
someone else was in charge.
But it's--
it's what I signed up for.

that the Hoover robot
initiated its self-destruct
sequence
in the state of Arkansas
and has been destroyed.
- Destroy--
we just put him into the time--
I'm pulling up the robot's
visual feed.
Let's see what happened.

No, it can't be.
- J. Edgar Hoover, a robot.

- It appears they're
still alive.
- Thank you. I can see that.
Well, I'll just build
another Hoover bot and...
[chuckles]
Add a special protocol
to hunt down
and eliminate the Legends.
- That protocol is not part of
J. Edgar Hoover's
original timeline.
- And once the Hoover bot's
done with the Legends,
it can resume its historical
to-do list. Yes?
- Exactly. She gets it.
- I'd advise against
this course of action.
- Let's vote.
We all have equal say
now that we have
a Time Mistress on board.
All those in favor of

What do you mean
the Hoover 2.0 blew up?

The incident also caused
another massive aberration.
Thomas Edison suffered
a heart attack and died.
- We really should have
just gone back to Ava Corp.
This situation with the Legends
is getting worse and worse.
- It's because
these androids are weak.
They need weapons to defend
themselves against the Legends.
Something built in, like lasers
that shoot out of their eyes.

were guns?

our prime directive

I did it to make my parents
happy, and it sucked.
In my gut, I knew I wasn't
where I was supposed to be,

I just decided to borrow
my family's wind totem.
