Outlaw Country

Time travel is real, and all of history is vulnerable to attack, which is why we must travel through time to stop the spread of these so-called time Aberrations and to erase their damage to history.

We are a team of outcasts and misfits, so please don't call us heroes.

We're Legends.

[gunfire]

Previously on “Legends of tomorrow”...

Thank you, Mister...

Hex.

Jonah Hex.

Temporal Aberrations cause these things called timequakes.

If there was a way of locating their epicenters, maybe we'll be able to fix the Aberrations before they happen.

Any idea why Darhk wants this?

All I know is, it's never a good idea when your nemesis starts accessorizing.

And he's teamed up with a Speedster.

What's a Speedster?

Someone with super speed.

That's how Darhk escaped.

The energy of the Speed Force grants the Speedster Chronokinesis, temporal manipulation.

English, Professor.

It means that his running real fast, lets him time travel.

I'll be in my room.

Martin, I need you to gather everything you can on Speedsters.

There's got to be a connection.

Barry implored us not to share any info...

Turnbull's got an office above the saloon.

It's also got about a dozen men making sure nobody gets close to him.

Turnbull and his men were harassing it.

And they hired me to fight back.

I was different.

I was afraid.

And then I meet you guys, and I get these superpowers.

Well, maybe now you know how I felt after you destroyed my ATOM suit.

When we were out fighting with the Shogun, without my suit, I was afraid.

Well, you hid it well.

That's because I realized that weakness, or not being invulnerable, is what makes me a hero.

There's no bravery without fear.

That was a really good inspirational speech.

Really?

Yeah.

Well, I have a few other aphorisms in my back pocket.

Like, uh...

"courage is the mastery of fear, not the absence of fear."

"Strength is..."

You know what, buddy?

You nailed it.

Sorry, got a little carried away with my train of...

That's it.

I think I know how Turnbull's gonna make his own country.

When I saw how much dwarf star ore he had in that mine, I started to wonder, how could he transport such a heavy shipment?

He'd have to use...

The railroad.

The railroad.

Okay, get to the part where we care, Ray.

I think he's gonna use the railroad and the dwarf star to... wait for it.

I don't want to wait for it.

Close Summit Pass.

Oh, my God, Ray's right.

Thank you.

Summit Pass connects East/West via railroad.

Not if Turnbull uses this... the magic...

Dwarf star?

Yeah, to blow the thing up.

Well, if he destroys the pass, there's no way of transporting soldiers and supplies from the East coast.

The U.S. Army is effectively locked out of the West.

So it's simple... We just stop Turnbull from blowing up the pass.

Yeah, simple.

You don't have a suit, you just had invasive surgery, Stein's out of commission.

We'll think of something.

"Courage is the mastery of fear, not the absence of it".

Good thing I'm a woman then.

Yes, ma'am.

I best get Turnbull.

It really is beautiful.

It's no wonder that human beings have worshipped fire for millennia.

Fire gives us life, but also has the power to destroy everything in its path.

Your point?

Or are you gonna keep talking in metaphors?

Yeah, I know what a metaphor is.

But don't tell them.

You were right.

But it's not all that you are.

Your point?

Don't deny the animal.

But don't let it control you either.

I can help you.

Believe me, I know a thing or two about controlling wild beasts.

Oh, there you are.

So I've been thinking about your memory flashes.

"Manopause" moments, or whatever it is you want to call 'em.

Assuming there even is a Clarissa to go home to.

Hey, heard you were looking for me.

Oh, yeah, uh, I just wanted to thank you for saving all that dwarf star ore.

I have enough to power 20 ATOM suits now.

That's cool, man, so we all get one?

Uh, actually, there's something I've been working on before I start building a new exo-suit.

It's, uh, not exactly what was in your drawing.

I made a few improvements.

Shut the front door.

Yeah. I figure you earned it.

Steel.

Cool name.
