01x09 - Left Behind
Posted: 04/01/16 03:28
In 2166, an immortal tyrant named Vandal Savage conquered the world and m*rder*d 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.
[exciting music]
Previously on "Legends of Tomorrow"...
Boys, ship's all yours.
Mick!

What are you gonna do, Snart?
My husband and I get along just fine on our own.
We're still waiting on Sara and the two lovebirds to get back.
Seems they've taken quite a shine to 1958.
[grunting, swords clashing]
Sara swore her allegiance to the League of Assassins.
It's time for her to return home.
My friend Thea calls it a bloodlust.
Argh!

Captain, Chronos has breached the starboard hatch.

Um, are you not paying attention to what Chronos is doing?
Fall back!

Hey, come on!
You sure it was a good idea leaving the Terminator on the bridge?

We have a more pressing matter.
Strap yourselves in.

What's going on?
Chronos has sabotaged the navigation system.
Unless we can find a way to alter the course, we'll be trapped in the Temporal Zone for all time.

By the time they found me, I'd nearly lost my mind.
I was so weak, I was strangling rats to survive.
When who found you?
The Time Masters.
They took me to a place called the Vanishing Point.
Time doesn't exist there the way it does on Earth.
I've spent lifetimes being restored by them, training by them, fighting by them... being reborn.
And, uh, when exactly did your new friends give you the, uh, lobotomy?
You think I was hunting you and your friends because the Time Masters made me?
They barely had to ask.
Hey, uh, can we talk for a sec?
Just... with everything that's going on, I don't know that this is the best time.
You say that like there's gonna be a better time.
Okay.
Look, we spent every night the last two years together, playing board games, eating, deciding who was gonna cook and who was going to wash dishes, falling asleep to "The Ed Sullivan Show."
But the second you saw the Waverider, it was like those two years never happened.
Look, we were both trying to adapt to an impossible situation.
But you are not a college professor, and I'm definitely not a librarian.
So honestly, I'm just excited to be able to be myself again.
I mean, aren't you even a little bit happy to be back on the ship?
I was happy with the life we built together, what I thought would be our future.
And this just all feels like moving backwards.
Moving backwards.
What if Sara didn't move forwards with her life... she moved backwards?
She said she wanted to go to a place where she belonged.
What's the one place in 1958 she already called home?
The League of Assassins.
There is one source that we could check to test your theory.
Gideon, bring up the Shadow Record.
Shadow Record?
The list of every member of the League of Assassins since the invention of writing in 3200 B.C.
Fascinating, except these sheets of papyrus are entirely blank.
No, no, no. The League uses invisible ink.
I did my graduate thesis at the Academy on their history.
Gideon.
Sara said that Ra's al Ghul had lived nearly a century before she met him.
Thanks to the Lazarus Pit.
It's basically a life-extending Jacuzzi, located in a place that's the opposite of life-extending.
You should count yourself lucky, Dr. Palmer.
Only a handful of outsiders have been inside the League's fortress and lived to tell the tale.
You are correct, Captain.
There is a mention of a Ta-er al-Sahfer.
That's Sara's League of Assassins name.
According to the Shadow Record, she joined the League in 1958.
Incredible... Sara became a member of the secret organization that trained her to be an assassin 50 years prior to when she initially joined.
Sara needs our help.
By all accounts, Ra's al Ghul is a very controlling, very homicidal fanatic.

Do Time Masters have a different understanding of the word "ex*cuted"?
No, no, no. It's called "time drift."

Yeah, we were meant to be tortured and ex*cuted in Nanda "I can't believe I'm back here" Parbat.
If we die, at least it would be in pursuit of a greater purpose.
That's it.
What's it?
Ra's al Ghul's purpose in life is to see that the League continues with all of its ancient traditions intact...
Including murdering intruders?
I will appeal to Ra's al Ghul's respect for the League's traditions, invoking one of them right now.
Well, what kind of traditions, man?
Guards!

Would you mind loosening these up a little bit before you leave?
Just out of curiosity, what do you think your new masters are gonna do with you once you've delivered the team up to them?
I don't expect there's a pension plan for old bounty hunters.
Once they get what they want from you, they're gonna toss you aside.
Like you tossed me aside?
You and I both made choices that led us to this moment.
What matters, Mick, is your next move.
And I'm willing to bet that some little piece of the old you is in that armor somewhere.
No.

Most certainly not.

Yes, well, if that is her wish, we will indeed honor it.
Well, thank you.
But your deaths will make that concession irrelevant.
Well, according to my understanding of League Law, the whole death thing can be avoided, should we prevail at trial.

And how is a man such as you so well-versed on our traditions?
