Pilot (Part 2)

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"...

Savage has kept his movements hidden throughout history, but professor Aldus Boardman is the world's leading expert.

Savage was an Egyptian priest.

Kendra and I reincarnate.

And every time he kills you, it passes to him.

That's what maintains his immortality.

Professor Boardman has sustained severe internal injuries.

100 years from now, your lives have minimal effect on the recorded timeline.

You lied to us.

I don't give a damn about being a legend as long as we end Savage once and for all.

So how do we find this guy?

And we've arrived.

Gideon, if you wouldn't mind camouflaging us as an alpine meadow, perhaps?

What are you complaining about now?

It's not like we time-jumped.

I hate flying, especially in... whatever this thing is.

Where exactly are we?

We're still in 1975, right?

Indeed.

October 1975 on the fjords of northern Norway.

Sounds like a vacation.

Which we can take as soon as the threat of Savage has been neutralized, Mr. Snart.

That's Aldus's notebook.

Now he theorized that Savage might be here, and if he's right, and if we can capture Savage, then at least Professor Boardman didn't die in vain.

Can't we just go back and save Aldus?

He was our son.

Look, I'm sorry.

We can't go back and change events in which we participated.

Time would fold in on itself, creating a temporal vortex.

Which sounds way cooler than it is.

Forgetting physics for a second, shouldn't we figure out what Savage is doing in Norway?

According to Gideon, there is a large meeting of terrorists and fringe groups looking to buy illegal arms.

Now that sounds like a vacation.

Arms dealers and terrorists aren't exactly our kind of people, but they're the next best thing.

Well, looks like you and your lapdog get to earn your keep.

I'm no one's lapdog, bird-man.

So what exactly does one wear to a black market arms bazaar, anyway?

The Waverider has a fabrication room which can fashion temporally-indigenous, uh, fashion.

You've got a room that makes clothing?

Doesn't everyone?

All right, first thing we need to do is work up a plan.

Got a lot of experience infiltrating criminal gatherings?

Didn't think so. I'm calling the shots.

Actually, I'm in charge, in case any of you have forgotten.

No, I remember. I just don't care.

Do I need to remind any of you that I'm a Time Master?

Making discrete alterations to the timeline is what I do, so we're not just gonna charge into the past like a bull into a china shop...

Half of what you've told us about the mission turned out to be lies.

None of you have ever encountered Vandal Savage before.

I have, and I'm telling you now, you are making a big mistake.

[scoffs] Already did that when we trusted you.

Back soon, Captain.

Thank you all for coming.

I promise, it will be well worth your time.

This is a variable-yield nuclear warhead, capable of producing a blast equivalent to one megaton of TNT.

It's what's not happening that is the concern.

Going twice...

Nobody else is bidding.

Sold!

Congratulations, Professor.

You just bought yourself a nuclear weapon.

Well, well.

We seem to have a new player.

But you seem a bit academic.

How did you get in here and who are you?

As of a few seconds ago, I'm a nuclear power.

Yet I don't know you or your organization, and I know everyone.

Hey. Back off.

Watch your tone.

Is there some sort of problem here?

Yeah, the master race here is starting to bug me.

We're just gonna get our nuclear warhead and be on our way.

Not without paying first.

Once we've validated that the warhead's operational.

Personally, I find it highly unlikely that you were able to accumulate enough fissionable material in this era to fashion a workable nuclear device.

This era?

Figure of speech.

I got a feeling you guys might want to get those helmets of yours on.

[clapping] Here, here.

Now you all deserve a hearty congratulations.

Not only did you fail to capture Savage, you exposed yourselves and your powers to him, giving away the element of surprise for now and all time.

Well done, team.

We don't need the element of surprise.

We know he's in Norway, so let's find him...

Unfortunately, we now have larger problems than Savage.

If only you'd have listened to me about the dangers of upsetting the timeline.

What are you talking about?

While you were busy saving Norway from nuclear annihilation...

You're welcome, Norway.

Savage sent one of his cronies back to the site of the arms sale.

Anyone care to guess what he found?

Whoops.

I am unversed in modern American colloquialisms.

Is "Whoops" slang for "Oh"...

Yes, Dr. Palmer seems to have thrown a spanner in the works for the entire timeline.

Come again?

Armed with Dr. Palmer's future technology, Savage's engineers develop a weapon far more destructive than anything here in 1975.

This is Central City in 2016. At least it was.

I'm not sure what the neo-fascists who took control of it are calling it these days.

[sighs]

There must be a way to correct this somehow.

Fortunately, Gideon is just showing us a forecast of the future you've all created.

Time is like cement.

It takes time to become permanent.

In this case, until Savage's team have worked out the mystery of your future technology and molded it to their own ends.

And when they do, what you see here is no longer just a forecast.

This...

[sighs]

This is history.

Where is he?

His body, I mean.

There's cryo-storage in the MedBay.

I promise we'll get our son a proper burial once we have a chance.

It's still so weird to hear you call him that.

But even though it was in a past life, it feels like something's missing.

I know.

What's that?

I found it in his pocket.

I've seen this knife before.

This is the knife that Savage used to kill us.

In our first life.

So thanks to Raymond leaving a piece of his suit in the past, the rest of us don't have a future to go back to?

Unless we do something to change this course of events, the future will become immutable.

Exactly how much time do we have?

Until Savage's weapons team reverse-engineer your tech.

We're talking 1970s terrorists with 21st-century weapons.

And since we don't know where Savage went...

We don't have to find Savage.

We just have to find the other piece of my suit.

Which shrinks because it's made of an alloy which mimics intra-molecular compression of dwarf star, thus emitting Alpha Particles.

So we just need to be able to track them.

Fortunately, Alpha Particles are highly trackable.

Yet unheard of in the 1970s.

It's like we're trapped in the Stone Age.

I'll have you know that I was researching Alpha Particles when you were eating crayons.

So to track that piece of Raymond's super-suit, we just need to talk to...

Me.

25-year-old me, rather.

You two are just in time.

Show them, Kendra.

Aldus was carrying this when he was killed.

It's a newspaper article about an Egyptian dagger.

The one Savage used to kill us.

In Central City, we learned that objects associated with the night of our deaths can also be used to kill Savage.

According to Aldus's notes, the dagger needs to be wielded in conjunction with an incantation inscribed on it.

What does this incantation say?

I don't know. I can't read the language.

It's okay. I'll help you remember.

Splendid. Now, as for the dagger...

You need someone to steal it.

Okay, fine.

Whatever. I'll do it.

Article says it was purchased by some rich Russian douche bag named Sasha Mahnovski.

I'll go with you.

I already got a partner.

Who I trust even less than you.

Look, you're more than welcome to go with them.

Just don't take along any of your future tech.

Oy! Where do you think you're going?

To break into my old lab and bring us back the particle tracker.

Fine, but perhaps, you should take Jefferson and Sara with you to act as your intermediaries.

Look, interacting with yourself in the past can have catastrophic effects upon the future.

Come on, we can still kill this b*st*rd.

Kendra is the only one who can.

We gotta go. Kendra needs medical attention.

[men shouting]

Gideon, get us underway as soon as Firestorm and the Atom are onboard.

Get her to the MedBay now.

I assure you, Dr. Palmer, there's nothing more you can do for her.

You can't let her die.

I don't intend to.

Sharp force injury resulting in rupture of several major blood vessels.

Her pressure is currently 82 over 30 and stable.

I will begin by irrigating the wound and cauterizing it to prevent any further hemorrhaging.

Thank you, Gideon.

Carter... Carter... Carter...

Gideon, if you wouldn't mind administering a mild sedative.

No! Carter!

I didn't get to tell him.

I didn't get to tell him it came back to me.

I finally remembered how I felt about him in our past lives and I didn't get to tell him!

Shh...

I didn't get to tell him...

It's okay.

I felt the same way.

Shh, shh...

How is she?

Stable, I think.

Sara told me about what's happening with your wife.

I'm sorry.

I was so seduced by the prospect of time travel, of adventure, I never stopped to consider the consequences of what we were undertaking.

Gideon has managed to stabilize Miss Saunders's condition, but another time jump could aggravate her injuries.

So we're stuck in'75?

For the time being, yes.

Given that, can I have a moment of your time, Martin?

There's something that I would like to show you.

Of course.

[chattering]

Apparently it's true that the guilty return to the scene of the crime.

Oh, don't be so maudlin. Look at your hand.

How...

I contacted your younger self and encouraged him to attend the faculty mixer.

Turns out one of the professors brought along his niece.

You risked the timeline for me.

Hardly seemed fair for you to sacrifice your wife in order to save mine from Savage's future.

One thing that time travel teaches you is that time changes, people don't.

A painful realization I've recently come to.

I have traveled countless ages into the future.

We're still asking ourselves the same question: Why are we here?

I believe that we're here to learn, Martin.

Be glad that you still can.

Thank you, Mr. Hunter.

How's Kendra?

The same.

So what now?

Now?

Now it's up to you.

To do what, Rip?

Last I checked, every time we try to do anything, it all goes to crap.

Oh, once again I must disagree with you.

Thanks to Miss Lance, Dr. Palmer's future technology is no longer in the hands of Vandal Savage's black market weapons designers.

But it didn't do anything to change the fate of your world.

No.

Vandal Savage will still rise to power in the year 2166.

And your family will still die?

So what you're really asking is, do we want to fish or cut bait?

Return to 2016 and live out the rest of our lives as insignificant losers or...

Make another play at becoming legends.

Figure out how to end Savage and save the world.

Preferably, without causing any more nuclear explosions.

Savage has my attention.

Look, we didn't know Carter from Adam, but if you take out one of my crew, you better pay the price.

Surely Captain Hunter has a sound plan.

What about you?

You're asking me?

I didn't give you much of a choice the first time, did I?

Well, I say we kick Savage's ass.

For Carter.

All: For Carter.

So, Captain.

Where are we going next?
