Marooned 1 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" The Time Masters discourage marriage, but I fell in love and we had a child, Jonas. - Maybe we could get a drink? - Are you asking me out? Yes. Is that okay? I think my life's complicated enough without throwing whatever this is into the mix. - This is Star City. - Yes, Star City, 2046. It's everything we've ever wanted. We could live like kings here. [grunting] You son of a bitch. You lay a hand on me again, you'll burn too. Go ahead, Jonas. He's listening. Hi, Daddy. We miss you. - And love you. - And love you. Anything else you want to say? Come home soon, Daddy. [laughing] Hi, Rip. Not sure if you got our last message. I told Jonas that you got caught up with work, but I really thought you'd be home by now. London is Things have changed. It's hard to tell what's going on with so many soldiers and rumors. I just want to know you're all right. Wherever you are, whenever you are, I love you, Rip. Go ahead, Jonas. He's listening. Hi, Daddy. We miss you. - And love you. - And love you. I'm sorry to interrupt, Captain. No, uh, not at all. Just, uh, catching up on work. What is all this? Just trying to connect the dots, find the optimal time to strike at Savage. And? And the trail's gone cold. In order to preserve the element of surprise, I wager the best course of action is to travel further back in time, but nothing here indicates where to find him. Well, perhaps I can help you look. I've been looking! I apologize. It's just the stakes are so high. I vowed to save my family, but I'm failing them. Perhaps I'm not the Time Master they need. You must be. You're the only one they have. - Can't Gideon help us? - No. When a timeship returns to the Vanishing Point after a mission, its CPU is updated from the temporal database, which, given my rogue status, we are unable to do. So, what you're saying is Gideon requires a software update. Which explains why you've been holed up in here for the past week. - Has it really been a week? - Mm-hmm. And some of our teammates are getting just a tad antsy. [screaming] [grunts] I'm done. Don't mind him. He's still sore about having to leave 2046. I'm sore because I was recruited for my unique ability to light things on fire. And now, I'm locked in the one place where I can't light things on fire: a spaceship. Where do you think you're going? Why? You gonna clock me in the head if I don't listen again? Everything okay with you two? Yeah, peachy. Captain, I've just intercepted a deep space transmission. It's a distress signal from the Acheron. - She's the - Flagship of the Time Fleet. Yes, I know that. Thank you, Gideon. Systemic malfunction. I'm stranded, unable to jump. Controls unresponsive. This is Captain Eve Baxter of the timeship Acheron, requesting critical rescue. And we care about this chick why? We don't, but the Acheron's computer will contain the current intel on Savage's whereabouts. Gideon, set a course for the Acheron's position in deep space. - Yes, Captain. - Deep space? I had no idea we had the ability to explore the unknown realms of the galaxy. - Astonishing. - No. What's astonishing is that we're acting as roadside assistance for the people who's chasing us. Doesn't it seem suspicious, this distress call just happened to reach us? How do we know it's not a trap? We don't, but what we do know is that Savage's trail has run cold. And unless Gideon can upload the data - from the Acheron's computer - I'm in. You are? The sooner we end Savage, the sooner - I get back to where I belong. - Prison? Any prison on Earth's better than this one, Professor. - Gideon. - Yes, sir. Engines to full throttle. Of course, Captain. [exciting music] Professor Stein, Mr. Jackson, would you care to join the boarding party? A chance for an extra-vehicular docking maneuver? What could be more exciting? Well, I could think of a few things. Let's get this thing started. Hey, you think there's something worth stealing on that ship? I'm just looking for a change of scenery. If that's okay with you, boss. Dr. Palmer. I leave the ship in your hands while we're gone. And I leave him in yours. I'm having the strangest sensation. It's like I'm ten years old again. You do a lot of space travel as a kid, Professor? Only in my dreams, after I read my first issue of "Rick Starr: Space Ranger. " Space Ranger Stein? Yeah, I don't see it. I wanted to travel through space, surviving only by my wits and laser guns. I even built a rocket out of cardboard boxes. What stopped you? NASA has rather strict guidelines regarding - nearsightedness. - And smoking weed. Gideon, have you been able to link up to the Acheron's computer? It appears a self-destruct code has disabled the ship's temporal navigation system. Well, what does that mean? It's possibly the result of a malfunction. Just in case, Martin, I'm going to ask you to remain behind here on the jump ship. You're telling us if something goes wrong, egghead's in charge? Break out the emergency gear. Space Ranger has a job to do. Rip? Rip, I need an update. How about this update? They've boarded the ship! - We've been overrun! - Excellent. Perhaps you're not taking this seriously, Miranda. - Gary? - Yes, Captain? Be a dear and open the portside bulkhead, would you? Look, I enjoy a suicide mission - as much as the next person - You heard me, Gary. Yes, ma'am. What's the plan here? Rip, you might want to grab hold of something. Yes, I am! It's called a gun! Something else. Do it, please. Now, Gary. [screaming] Gamma-delta hatch opened. Explosive decompression has evacuated the time pirates. Seal hatch, engage time drive, and punch it. Well done, Lieutenant Coburn. Well done? She nearly got us killed. The simulation equivalent, at least. She demonstrated unconventional thinking against overwhelming numbers. You could learn a thing or two from her, Lieutenant Hunter. [romantic music] Declan was right. - Teach me more. - [laughs] [clears throat] [both gasp] Sir, I can explain. Don't bother, Lieutenant. Save it for your disciplinary hearing. Hey, hey, hey. We can figure this out. - We'll get through this together. - That's just it. We can't be together. We knew from the start. Relationships are strictly forbidden. There has to be a way to fix this. I'm sorry. I need some time to think. [somber music] [dramatic music] Stay close and stay alert. To quote every "Star Wars" ever made, "I've got a bad feeling about this. " - [clangs] - [grunting] Valiant effort. Let the man go. Or else what? Do as the man says. [screams] Who the hell are these guys? These, Mr. Jackson, are time pirates. [dramatic music] - Captain John Valor. - Oh. What happened to Captain Baxter? She was on her way back to the Vanishing Point to imprison us when we made our escape. But before we could take control of the Acheron She destroyed her time drive in accordance with protocol. The same protocol that said another Time Master would come to her rescue. Do I look like a Time Master to you? You look like the kind of man who'd throw his grandmother out of an airlock. Nor am I a Time Master, so you might as well just let us go. [laughing] Correct me if I'm wrong. You're Rip friggin' Hunter. I thought you'd be taller. You never said you were famous. Infamous. There was a time when he had men like me running scared all along the timeline. Unless you let us return to our ship, a man named Vandal Savage will destroy the entire world. Time Masters and pirates alike. For once, we're fighting on the same side. That little slogan should come with its own shovel. - Prepare a boarding party! - Yes, sir. If I were you, I'd reconsider your plan, Mr. Valor. Really? I gave my crew instructions to shoot any boarding vessel, along with the ship launching it. With the great Rip Hunter on board? I highly doubt it. You don't know my crew. They're iron-willed and battle-hardened. The most formidable warriors to navigate time and space. Captain's log. Stardate 837. 9. We're awaiting word from the away team aboard the Acheron. I hate to break it to you, but you're no Captain Kirk. You're Picard. But Picard was cautious, pontificating, sort of sexless. Well, tell that to Vash. And for the record, Picard was way hotter than Kirk. Ooh, Mick had it wrong. This ship isn't a prison. It's a torture chamber. Well, I don't think Mick's problem is with the ship. You think it's with me. You did knock him out and force him to leave 2046 Star City, which is like Disneyland for felons. He'll get over it. Mick runs hot. He always has. Once he calms down, everything will be back to normal. Yeah, I bet that one sounded more convincing in your head. [computer beeping] I'd like to speak to Acting Captain Raymond Palmer. Ooh. Acting Captain. I like the sound of that. I'm Captain Palmer. Who are you? I'm the man holding your crew hostage. Captain Palmer, I've informed Mr. Valor of the fiery retribution you'll rain down upon him if we are not released immediately. Mm. [grunts, gasps] I'm gonna make this real simple. You surrender your ship, and I'll drop you off unharmed at a place and time of your choosing. - You've got 10 seconds to decide. - Or else what? If you want the Waverider for yourself, there's no way you'll fire on us. Perhaps, but right now, I've got my sights set on your captain's head. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay. Just give me a chance to negotiate. Ten nine - Maybe he's bluffing. - Eight - Doesn't feel like it. - Seven You don't know Palmer, and how he survived the "Imperiex" onslaught. [alarm blares] Uh, Gideon? Captain Hunter programmed me to execute certain protocols in response to specific keywords. What does that mean in English? Strap yourselves in. We are on the move and preparing to fire. Great Scott! We're under attack! - Gideon, who's firing at us? - Captain's orders. - Palmer, you idiot! - No, Captain Hunter's. Attacking the pirates who've taken the rest of the boarding party hostage. - Pirates? - What are you doing, Gideon? Just a warning shot to let them know we mean business. My partner's on that ship. D Dr. Palmer? Captain Hunter? Is anyone there? It's up to you now, Martin. - Gilbert! - Yes, sir. Set a pursuit course and prepare to return fire. If you destroy the Waverider, none of us are getting back home. Don't worry. I'm only targeting your ship's life support systems. Now, if I were the weapons targeting system on the Acheron where would I be? There's a hull breach in the aft portion of the ship, and the pirates have taken out the telemetry controls. Gideon, switch to manual. What are you doing? If this is anything like a video game, flying a space ship. Where are you guys going? To deal with the hole in the ship. Make sure Picard here doesn't get us all killed. Actually, I'm more like Sulu right now. Or Han Solo! Target their thrusters and fire. [machinery whining, powers down] I said fire! Sir, the weapons systems have been taken offline. - Manually. - Who else is on my ship? Oh, a good captain keeps his best weapons hidden from his enemies, Mr. Valor. Find the saboteur! Bring him to me, dead or alive. I guess we'll just have to follow your friends till they're out of air. Shouldn't take too long, given the size of the hole in the hull. [hissing] - Here. - [electricity whines] Hail the crew of the Waverider. Rip, tell your crew to let us board, and I will happily save them. But either way, we are taking the Waverider. Take the damn deal, Rip. A captain never surrenders his ship. Besides, you'll never catch Captain Palmer. He once outran Kanjar Ro himself. Who's Kanjar Ro? Engaging protocol now, Captain. - Awesome. - I wasn't talking to you. What the hell happened to 'em? We were following a holographic projection which allowed the Waverider to slip away. Giving secret commands to your crew. - Very clever, Captain. - Mm-hmm. Throw them in the brig! We'll find your friends' bodies. Eventually. How long can you keep that up for? Not long. I'm gonna run out of charge. Be advised, the breach is only partially contained. Guess we know the bulkhead doors are working. Too bad we're on the wrong side of them. [alarm blaring] Uh oh. Thanks for stopping by. We're gonna get you out of here. - Just hang tight. - Is there another option? Don't mean to rush you, Raymond, but it's getting cold in here. Normally I wouldn't complain, but Can't you just open the doors, Gideon? The bulkhead is designed to remain shut until the breach is sealed. Well, that's not happening from in here. How much time do we have until We're dead? Ah! Ah Captain Baxter. I'm Rip Hunter. I'm here to rescue you. I doubt it. You walked straight into a trap. I will admit that we've encountered some unforeseen obstacles. Right. But, we're gonna get you out of here in a second. Mr. Jackson, will you please see what we can do about disabling this force field? You don't think I've tried that? But by all means, if you think this kid will have better luck. - Whoa, who you callin' kid? - I'm sorry. - I meant criminal. - Actually, that's me. All of you. If we ever do get out of here, the first thing I'll do is take you to the Vanishing Point to await trial before the Time Council. The great Rip Hunter, but look at you now. Yes, look at me now. Helping you break out of a pirate's brig aboard your own timeship. I don't want help from a man who broke his oath, stole a timeship, and decided to change history for his own selfish reasons. Doesn't make any sense to me. No, I don't expect it would. Rip Hunter. Miranda Coburn. Those aren't your real names, are they? No, sir. And why is that? Because if our enemies knew our true identities, our ancestors and descendants across the timeline could be potential targets. As well as anyone else you might love. Which is why Personal attachments are expressly forbidden by the Council of Time Masters. And grounds for immediate discharge from service. Do either of you deny that you were conducting an illicit affair in violation of this council's rules? In that case, I motion that we adjourn this disciplinary hearing for one hour to afford you the opportunity to consider your response. Though I sincerely doubt there's any answer you can provide that will prevent this tribunal from discharging you both from the Time Masters. I suppose this feels like a day at the beach for you? If I had to pick a way to die, freezing wouldn't be the worst. What's it like? Dying? I imagine you've got a unique perspective. You know, it's funny. I mean, you'd expect it to be terrifying, just panic and fear. What'd you feel? I guess lonely. Yeah. Like everybody I loved was a million miles away. I mean, I don't like you, but at least I'm not dying alone. Closest I ever came to dying was, uh the day I met Mick. - Why does that not surprise me? - It wasn't like that. It was my first day in juvie. I was 14, and the smallest kid in there by far. Some of the older kids wanted to make sure I knew it. So they jumped me. I fought back, but one of them had a shiv and I figured that was it until Mick stepped in. And they didn't mess with me after that. He's been standing up for me ever since. Let's just hope he's standing up for Rip and Jax now. Who else is gonna take on those pirates? [dramatic music] Hey! - [grunting] - Ah! [grunting] That'll teach you not to mess with a nuclear physicist. You ready? Given I never designed the Atom suit for outer space, I'm not exactly sure how to answer that question. While I'm gone, you're captain. Thank you. But I think we both know I'm in charge either way. [chuckles] Good luck. Gideon, open the hatch. - [sighs] - Sorry, Captain. I can't jerry-rig the door open. Don't worry, kid. It's not your fault. It's his. In case you've forgotten, Mr. Rory, you volunteered to be part of this boarding party. I volunteered to get away from my partner, who hasn't been acting like my partner ever since you fed his head with fairy tales about saving the world. Your partner has a mind of his own, Mr. Rory, which is more than I can say of you. Are you saying that I'm dumb, Captain? Let's pretend, just for a moment, that you're the captain, stuck in the brig while the rest of your crew slowly perish on their damaged ship. Now, what would you do to get yourself out of that predicament? Oh, no brilliant ideas? Really? Why am I not in the least bit surprised? Shut your mouth, now! Okay, let's all just take a deep breath. Or what? You'll punch me in the face, or burn me alive, or employ some other barbaric form of violence? That's why you recruited me, isn't it? To hit, hurt, and burn? No, I recruited you because you and your partner were a package deal. - What? - I'm sorry, Mr. Rory. But a serial arsonist was never part of my plan to stop Savage, much less one with the IQ of meat. I didn't mean to be so blunt. If I could just have a moment of quiet, then perhaps I can think of a way of getting us off this pirate ship. I think I just beat you to it. Can anyone hear me? What the hell do you think you're doing? Me and the pirates are gonna have a little parlay. - Do not do this, Rory. - Too late. What do you want? I want to speak to Captain Valor. - About what? - About a timeship. - I am warning you. - Shut up! I may have the IQ of meat, but I know how to cut a deal. [dramatic music] [screams] [eerie music] [grunts] I'm listening. You want the Waverider. I want to go home. Where is home for a man like you? 2016, Central City. Of all the places in time, you want to go there? That's right. To the exact moment Hunter recruited me and my partner on this suicidal mission of his, but, this time, I'm gonna tell him where to shove it. Let me get this straight. I let you go, you'll deliver the Waverider. Yes. Do we have an accord? You think your friends will believe you were able to escape? Not unless I do this. [grunting] How's it going out there? Good. By which I mean utterly terrifying. I'll have the breach sealed in two more minutes. Okay. How's your oxygen level? Uh, I think the technical term is "lousy. " Just two more minutes. You got this. Nothing quite like dying to make you think about all the mistakes, all the wrong choices. Is this Leonard Snart coming to God in his final moments? - Hardly. - [shivers] Just wishing I could take a few things back. I should've left Mick in future Star City. Why didn't you? Without me to keep him in check, Mick can be a scary guy. Agreed. Hate to break it to you, but even if we make it out of here alive, you're still gonna have a problem on your hands. And I've seen enough to know that Mick's in a dark place. He's not coming back. Man, I can't believe Rory sold us out. No, actually I can. But still, man. What choice did he have? The crew left on the Waverider are most probably dead by now, and God knows what happened to Professor Stein. It's no wonder that Mr. Rory chose to save his own skin. And what I can I do about it? I'm stuck in a pirate's brig and I've lost both my ship and the loyalty of my crew. You're one to talk about loyalty. Oh, but I am, Captain Baxter, and not because I pledged an oath to serve as a Time Master, but a long time ago, I made a far more important oath. When you call me a failure, Captain Baxter, you're right. 'Cause I failed both my wife and my son. For betraying the Time Council I have absolutely no regrets. But failing to save my family? That is something for which I will never forgive myself. [somber music] Time Master Declan, I I thought the tribunal was re-convening. It's been cancelled. Lieutenant Coburn assumed full responsibility for the affair. The other Time Masters were moved by her argument. They've dismissed the charges? Once Lieutenant Coburn resigned. - Why would she do that? - It seems she believes in you. Now you must prove to yourself and all of us that you are indeed the man she believes you to be. [electricity powers down] [dramatic music] [adventurous music] I thought we were done for. Take heart, dear Captain. This battle is far from over. Now, who would care to join me in a daring escape? - Space Ranger. - Indeed. [alarm beeping quickly] [dramatic music] Ray, don't go nodding off on me. No, I wasn't. [exhales sharply] I was just resting my eyes for a second. You've got to stay with me, Ray. Just stay focused on my voice, and keep talking. - About what? - Anything. Like, um, what was your first pet's name? - [chuckles] Slinky. - Is that a cat? Burmese python. Yeah, I'm allergic to cats and dogs. Pretty much anything without scales. Okay, then, enough about pets. Um, what's your favorite color? Don't have one. Who doesn't have a favorite color? It's kind of like having a favorite Beatle. No, everyone has a favorite Beatle. Not me. Wouldn't be fair to the other three. Okay, fine, enough about pets, and colors, and Beatles. It's a good thing we never went for that drink. This space date is going terribly. [alarm beeping rapidly] Ray? Are you still with me, Ray? Ray? Are you there? Ray? I'm sorry. It's all I have left. [triumphant music] Ray, are you there? It seems that Mr. Palmer patched the hole in the hull, allowing Mr. Snart and Ms. Lance to escape the engine room. Okay, as soon as he's on board, I need you to close the cargo bay and seal the airlock, Gideon. Ray. Ray! Hey, stay with me. I'm afraid Mr. Palmer has gone into cardiac arrest. Please, I can't lose you too! Ray, I need you! Please! His chances of survival are less than 3,720 to 1. Ray! Ray, come on. You're strong. Please, Ray. Come back to me. Ray! [grunting] - Ray! - [gasps] Could you please stop punching me in the chest? Why do they always make it seem like it's a good thing - to do in the movies? - I thought you were dead. I think I was, there, for a second. Thank you. You kids need a moment? You okay? Mr. Palmer nearly died. Welcome to the club. Gideon, what's happening on the Acheron? Funny you should ask. I just received a message from Mr. Rory. It seems he escaped capture and is now returning to the Waverider. Told you. Those pirates picked the wrong guy to mess with. Since when does Rory even know how to fly the jump ship? How did he even find us? Actually, I did the flying. He received quite a beating at the hands of the pirates. That's him now. [suspenseful music] You okay, Mick? Boys! Ship's all yours! You son of a bitch. What are you doing, Mick? I'm getting us home. Are you in? [electricity whines] Yeah. Time to choose a side, I guess. Chosen. - Bastard! - Go! - Get them! - Go! I'll get the time drive. Is the Acheron's jump ship still operational? - Yes. - All right, go to it and get off the Acheron. I have some unfinished business with Mr. Valor. I'm not leaving my ship. And we're not leaving you behind. So what's the plan, Captain? Valor and his men substantially outnumber us. We're not going to be able to defeat them by conventional means. [dramatic music] Mr. Rory is making his way to the engine room to access the time drive. I'll handle it. [grunting] What's going on? You're losing. - Gilbert? - The time pirates are indeed ten seconds behind you, and closing. That doesn't give us much time. You think Rip's plan will work? Yeah, that's what I thought. Step away from it, Mick. I'll tell you what, Blondie. Walk away and I won't kill you. You know I can't do that. I like you, Sara. You got a lot of guts. That's why I'm only gonna kill you a little bit! [both grunting] [exciting music] [all grunting] Mick! Captain Hunter? We're in position. - Captain Hunter? - Yes, yes! I'm a little bit busy right now! Be that as it may, we've run out of time. Captain, the plan. We're waiting for your signal. - Gilbert? - Yes, sir? I need you to listen to me very, very carefully. [alarm blares] [screaming] Rip! We're good! - [panting] - Bulkhead door closed. Explosive decompression has evacuated the time pirates. Thank you, Gilbert. Please hail the Waverider. Waverider, this is Captain Hunter. We've regained control of the Acheron. What's your status? What are you gonna do, Snart? I suppose it wouldn't be very fair if I arrested you after you reclaimed my ship and apprehended John Valor for me. Happy to help out a fellow Time Master. Even though I don't deserve that title. I was wrong. You've proven that today. You're still one hell of a Time Master. Which is why I'm giving you this. - What's that? - Gilbert? Using the Vanishing Point's most current timeline data, I calculate a 99. 8% probability that you will find Vandal Savage in Harmony Falls, Oregon, in March of 1958. Thank you, Captain Baxter. I still don't understand why you're doing all this. Before all this started, I don't think I would've, either. We protect history, safeguard time itself. There is no higher calling. It's called love. Rip. Rip. Rip! Look at me, Rip. [sighs] Please don't be mad at me. Oh, no, I'm not mad at you! I I was going to resign. I know and I couldn't let you. This has always been your dream. Yes, but you are so much better at this than me. I I can't understand why you would why you'd give all that up. It's funny, because you're the one who made me realize that I could never be a Time Master. I found something with you, something wonderful. I found love. That thing that the Time Masters always taught us to hide from, but they were wrong, Rip. Love's no threat. It's beautiful, and powerful, and once you know it, love changes everything. Like it changed me and that's why I have to resign, because I could never belong to something that turns its back on the truth. Suddenly my chosen profession seems so terribly unimportant. No. The world needs the Time Masters and the Time Masters, most assuredly, need Rip Hunter. - [groans] - My only wish is that one day, when you're off traveling space and time, you'll realize what I have, and understand why I'm doing what I'm doing. I hope you think of me when that day comes. I will because I'll be with you. [soft romantic music] Hey. I was just looking for you. I How are you feeling? Good. Yeah. Turns out I bounce back pretty quickly from hypothermia. In fact, I managed to remember some of the things you said to me when I was almost dead. You were wrong, B-T-W. You don't need me. You don't need anybody. I mean, you're pretty amazing and I'm lucky to be your friend, be on this mission together with That's surprising. Okay. I'll say it. Why don't we just drop him off back in 2016? Because my sister lives in 2016. And your sister, and your wife. So what exactly are we talking about here? Leaving Rory in the brig until we take down Savage? No, no, no, no, the brig is unsuitable for long-term incarceration. Leaving him free run of the ship is not an option. I'll handle it. By handling it, you mean murder? I said I'll handle it. [ominous music] [grunts] [groaning] [sighs] I told you that'll be the last time you hit me. You were right. That the plan? Take me out in the middle of nowhere, where no one can find the body? I wish there were some other way, Mick, but you're dangerous. - A liability to the team. - Team? You and I were a team! What happened to you? People change. You think you're some kind of hero, but deep down you're still the same punk kid I saved in juvie. 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
