[screaming]

- Please!

♪ ♪

- Aah!

- Vandal Savage.

An evil dictator
blessed with immortality.

He has achieved what no one

in human history ever has.

He has conquered
the entire planet.

[dramatic music]

♪ ♪

- Aah!

- [panicked breathing]

- What's your name, son?

- Jonas.

- Your mother was brave,

just as your father was foolish.

Which are you?

So you take after
your mother, huh?

[laughs]

Or not.

[laser explosion]

- Caesar.
Hitler.

Per Degaton.

Rank amateurs
compared to Savage.

His forces have already
claimed the lives of billions.

And if we possess
the means to stop him,

and again do nothing,

then their blood
is on our hands.

- As a Time Master
of long standing,

you seem to forget
our responsibility

is to protect the timeline,
not humanity.

You wish to engage in the very
sort of manipulation of time

that we are sworn to prevent.

- And yet, if we allow
humanity to perish

at the hands of evil,
then what universe

are we custodians of?

- What if, in trying
to save the world from Savage,

you make it vulnerable to
another, more terrible despot?

- We are not warriors,
Captain Hunter.

We possess no army.

- And I'm not asking for one.

Just a single timeship

and your permission
to change history

before Vandal Savage
puts an end to it.

I'm not appealing to you

as Time Masters,

but as humans, please.

Grant me the authority
to change the timeline

just this once.

- How did the council meeting
go, Captain Hunter?

- Exactly as expected, Gideon.

- So we are proceeding?
- Indeed.

Prepare the Waverider
for takeoff.

Set a course.
United States.

Star City.
January, 2016.

- Ah, the early
second millennium A.D.

The golden age of
gasoline engines,

online pornography,

and those silly little
smartphones.

What are we going to retrieve,
Captain?

- Oh, not what.

Who.

I need you to pull up
some files, Gideon.

The eight men and women
who'll be joining us

on our little crusade.

- You usually prefer to
work alone, Captain.

- This time, I'll need a team.

Huh, someone removed

up until two months ago,
I was a barista,

demi-goddess.

- Have you two considered
couples counseling?

I hear it's quite popular
in this century.

knocked us out and kidnapped us?

British dude

Ring any bells?
- The name's Rip Hunter.

I'm from East London.

Oh, and the future.

- Nice to meet you, Rip.

- Uh, while you were
incapacitated,

I may have tampered
with your weapons.

I've assembled you all
because I need your help.

The future of the world
is in peril

because of a man by the name

of Vandal Savage.

- That can't be.

We destroyed him.

- Yeah, the Green Arrow and
Flash helped us do it.

- And therein lay the problem.

Unless you or Mr. Hall
deliver the death blow,

Savage can be restored
from but a single cell.

- What the hell
are you talking about?

- Vandal is immortal.
Kendra and I reincarnate.

- Yeah, I've done that.

- And what the hell
does this Randall guy

got to do with us?

- Vandal.

In the future, he will employ

the evil he's perfected
over his long life,

and the power he has amassed
throughout history,

to finally conquer the world.

I've been tasked with assembling
an elite team to stop him.

- How?

- To travel through time.

To capture Savage
before he grows into

the monster he becomes.

- You got the wrong guy.

"Hero" ain't on my resume.
- Or mine.

- I know it's difficult
for you to fathom,

but where--when I'm from,

the year 2166,

you and everyone on this roof

aren't just considered heroes...

You're legends.

- Legends?

- I, um, I hate to nitpick,

but doesn't a legend
have to be dead?

- Yeah, see, uh, that's
a deal breaker for me,

so I'm gonna pass.

- It's dangerous for any of you

to know too much about
your own futures,

but I am here because
each of you,

as individuals,
is destined for greatness.

- He said across time, Mick.
What about the years before?

Before fingerprints and
surveillance cameras

snatch the Hope Diamond

This is everything
we got into thieving for

in the first place.

Ever since, as a child,

High Priestess of Horus,

I hoped and prayed
this day might come.

here to discuss
another passion of yours:

Vandal Savage.

of telling your story

without telling his also.

- Why does this stupid station
play nothing but reruns?

- Don't even bother
trying to explain.

- Am I the only one on this ship
who could really use a drink?

I say we go get weird

was unclear

with his instructions
to remain onboard.

- Shut it, metal mouth.

- Oh, you're not quite ready
to run with this crew.

Sorry, kid.

- Wait, you're just gonna
leave me here?

- I said I'd take care of you.

- 4,000 years ago,

Vandal Savage was
an Egyptian priest,

secretly in love
with a priestess.

You.

Or, rather,

you in your first life.

But you were
in love with another.

Prince Khufu.

Savage, or Hath-Set
as he was then known,

learned of the affair
and was consumed

with jealous rage.

- You believe me yet?

- Which drove him
to murder you both.

And prayed for the hawk god,
Horus,

to damn the objects of his hate
for all eternity.

But Chay-Ara had
a prayer of her own,

that Horus would
protect them forever.

But another life was
bound to theirs by accident.

- Savage's.

That's why
he wants us both dead.

- My theory is that
the three of you

were exposed to the same
radiation by the meteorites.

- We all share the same power.

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

That's what maintains
his immortality.

- That's impossible.

- Unless the meteorites
contained a mutative element,

like the particle accelerator
that caused your powers.

- But without evidence,
you're asking us

to take you at your word?

- It's not my word.

It's theirs.

But you still don't remember me,
do you?

- We knew you in our past lives.

- You've told me
your entire story,

stretching back
through the ages,

but when I first knew you,

it was after World War I,

and your names were
Joe and Edith.

Edith Boardman.

- Wait, I--we were related?

I don't remember you.
I'm so sorry.

- Don't be.

You always warned me
that if I ran into you

in your next life,

you might have forgotten me.

That's us

at the World's Fair.

You're just as beautiful
as I remember you.

Mother.

- How old were you when--

- You two were murdered?

Ten.

My whole life, you taught me
to be careful,

to keep moving,

always one step ahead of Savage,

but after tracking you
for 4,000 years,

he'd gotten good.

He found us
in the middle of the night

at a fleabag motel
in North Carolina.

You hid me in the closet,

made me promise that
no matter what I heard,

I'd stay put.

And I did.

- Sorry to interrupt
your family time,

but we were hoping you could
tell us a bit more

where to locate
Savage's present whereabouts.

- He hides in the shadows,

never drawing
too much attention,

but every lifetime,

placing himself near
the seat of power,

sowing seeds of destruction.

Who remembers
the name of the man

who whispered in the ear
of Gavrilo Princip,

and convinced him to start
World War I?

- Why?
What does he get out of that?

- The more the world is focused
on destroying itself,

the less it notices an immortal
psychopath in its midst.

- With the ultimate goal of
subjugating the entire planet.

- He killed your parents,
Professor Boardman.

Something tells me you know
where to locate Vandal Savage.

- I have

an educated guess.

- Ah. Dollar beers.

You got to love the '70s.

- Aah!

Aah!

Ah...

- Aldus!
- We'll get you out of here!

♪ ♪

You're doing good.

- Professor Boardman
has sustained

severe internal injuries.

- Prepare the MedBay to receive
Professor Boardman

and get us out of here!

- Course heading?

- Anywhere but here!

- Our cloaking shield
and aft entrance

have been significantly
compromised, Captain.

- Yes, I can see that, Gideon.

Station us in the temporal zone
while I work on repairs.

- Temporal zone?

- Yeah, it's essentially
a time limbo.

We can hide out there for a bit.

Another temporal jump would risk
revealing our position.

- A time limbo?
Astonishing.

- Oh, there's something
you people

don't know about time travel?

That's surprising, isn't it?

Considering none of you have
ever time traveled before.

Bringing a family member
from the past

onto a timeship?

Breaking out and carousing
around the 1970s?

We've barely begun,
and already this is the worst,

unmitigated disaster
of my career.

- [laughs]

I see why you got the hots
for that one.

- My son is hurt because of you.

Who attacked us?

- [sighs]
Something of a long story.

- Better tell it fast, Rip,
'cause it doesn't look like

the lady's in a patient mood.

- Neither am I.

- His name is Chronos.

He works for
the Council of Time Masters.

My former employers.

- I thought you were
a Time Master.

- As I've expressed,
time's not a linear thing.

At some point I was, in fact,
a Time Master.

Will you people please
stop hitting me?

- Start telling the truth!

- I relinquished my position
as a Time Master

when I commandeered
the Waverider.

Chronos was clearly sent
to bring me in.

- You lied to us.
- Of course I lied to you.

I needed your help--you all
barely said yes as it was.

- What about the legends part?

- Ooh, you lied about that too,
didn't you?

- I chose you all because,
a hundred years from now,

your lives have minimal effect
on the recorded timeline.

I needed your help without
disturbing the history of 2166.

- So, we're like
the opposite of legends.

- Give me one good reason
why we shouldn't kill you.

- Ditto the arsonist.

- Because Gideon wouldn't
listen to your commands

and you'd be stuck here forever.

- Great, so we're not
an elite team of heroes

on a sanctioned mission,
sent to rid the future

of its most horrific bad guy.

Just a collection of nobodies

who time really doesn't
give a damn about.

- I didn't lie
about the mission itself.

Or the brutality and
ruthlessness of Savage.

Or my need for your help.

- I don't imagine
you're the kind of guy

who quits his job and
takes on this kind of threat

for altruistic reasons,

so Rip, why don't you tell us:

what did Vandal Savage
do to you?

- [sighs]

The Time Masters
discourage marriage.

They urge against procreation
even more.

A Time Master should be free of
any personal entanglements

that might compromise him.

But...

I fell in love,

and we had a child.

A boy.

Jonas.

♪ ♪

- Savage killed your family.

- He slaughtered my family.

And thousands of other families.

And that body that I swore
an oath to serve

turned a blind eye.

They continue
to turn a blind eye.

I won't.

The last thing that my child
saw in this world

was that monster's face.

You can be damn well sure
that when Savage dies,

the last face he sees
will be mine.

I understand,
given the circumstances,

if you wish to return home.

We can make the jump
once the repairs are done,

if and when
Professor Boardman stabilizes.

- I think we all need
a little time

to consider our options.

- Just get some rest.

- There's something
I've wanted you to have.

It's around my neck.

It was my mother's.

Yours.

- It's beautiful.

I remember it.

♪ ♪

- Thank you.

Rip wouldn't have allowed me
to bring Aldus onboard

if you hadn't said so--

- Of course.

Chay-Ara...

sorry.

Kendra.

- No, it's okay.

Chay-Ara is fine.

- Seems an apology is in order.

What I did was wrong.

I should never have forced you
to come along.

But, for me, the opportunity

to travel through time,

see the mysteries
of the universe revealed,

notions I've spent
my whole life studying--

- Please do not geek out on
quantum physics right now.

- Mr. Hunter was offering
grand adventure.

And at my age, you never know

how many adventures
you have left.

- Hey,

I saw your 40-yard dash
onto the ship

with that Chronos guy
shooting at you.

I think you got plenty of
adventures left.

- Yes, perhaps you're right.

Back home.
As Firestorm.

- What if
I don't want to go home?

Yet, I mean.

- Why the change of heart?

- You ever play football?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Anyway...the best feeling

I ever got
from being on the field

wasn't when I made a great play,

or we won some game.

It was when one of my teammates
took a tackle for me,

and I knew they were gonna
make sure I was safe,

that nobody got to me.

Watching all of you
rush back to the ship,

even those two knuckleheads,

to take on Chronos?

Made me feel the same way.

I like being
part of a team, man.

- Me too.

- Watch it!

- Sorry.

Sorry.

[sighs]

What's the point of us even
giving this a second thought?

Rip has already seen the future.

He knows exactly what's in store
for each of us.

Might as well have stayed dead,

'cause the world doesn't need
any of us.

You're just a lost assassin.

You're just a pair of
good-for-nothing criminals.

- I can live with that.

- Well, I can't.

Can't live with somebody
putting a cap on my destiny.

Spent my whole life
working to be something greater

by becoming something smaller.

Then some guy
comes along and tells me

that being the Atom
is as insignificant

as an actual Atom.

- That's not what he said.

Rip said that in his future

we're nobodies,

but this mission is about
changing the future.

I mean, if we have the power
to change the world,

don't you think we have the
power to change our own fate?

- For better or for worse.

- That's a very good point.

- [sighs]
What do you think, Gideon?

- I calculate
a less than 6% likelihood

that they decide
to go on with the mission.

- I meant about the repairs.

- And there has been another
unfortunate consequence

of Chronos's attack.

Care to hear about it?
- Not really.

- He's gone.

Our son--or, our son
from our previous life.

It's all too confusing.

- I'm very sorry.

- Actually, you don't
get the blame for this.

This was my fault.

If I hadn't insisted
on bringing him back here,

he might have died peacefully,
in his sleep maybe.

- Don't torture yourself
with recriminations.

One of the great lessons
of time travel

is that many things
cannot be changed.

Time wants to happen.

Chronos, even Vandal, won't be
the only enemy we face.

Very often, it will be
time itself.

- Whether it wants to happen
or not,

we're gonna change time,

erase Savage's future,

and earn our rightful place
in history.

- Dr. Palmer is correct.

We may not be legends
in your time, Captain,

but we are going to decide
our own fates.

- I don't give a damn about
being a legend,

as long as we end Savage
once and for all.

- I can get down with that.

- And our malcontents?

- I like killing people.

- We're in.

For now.

- So how do we find this guy?

- Professor Boardman had
a theory about that.

I've already had Gideon
plot a course.

[dramatic music]

- You know what this is?

An instrument to make this world
a better place.

History teaches us
that the cause of humanity

is only advanced through strife.

There's no Renaissance without
the Dark Ages.

Man had no interest
in splitting the atom

until World War II.

I'm just trying

to make this world
a better place,

one war at a time.

- Greg, move your head.
