01x13 - Leviathan

Post by bunniefuu »

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.

Previously on "Legends of Tomorrow"...

The flashes I've been having... they're of Carter.


It must be really weird feeling like you're cheating on me with him.

No, Ray, I feel like I'm cheating on him with you.

We need to move swiftly to locate Vandal Savage.

There is one place in time that we know Savage to be.

2166.

We have, quite literally, run out of time.

[engines whirring]

[explosions]

Oh! We're gonna need to find a safe place to set down, Gideon.

I don't believe there are any safe places, Captain.

Are we over London yet?

What's left of it.

Why's London sh**ting at us?

It's Savage's forces that are doing the sh**ting.

Here in 2166, they've subjugated most of the globe.

[explosions]

Maybe picking up here wasn't the brightest idea.

Unfortunately, we no longer have the luxury of blindly searching for Savage throughout history.

Indeed; we have to target Savage at the time and place that we're certain he will be, which is...

Right before he wastes your family.

What?

Yes, Mr. Rory, Savage will k*ll my wife and son in three days' time, but we can save them and the world by stopping Savage now.

[explosions]

Captain, I've managed to slip beneath their a*tillery fire.

Set us down on the outskirts of the city, Gideon, near the encampment of the remaining resistance forces.

We are going to need to proceed swiftly.

I realize your family is in jeopardy, but perhaps some deliberation...

We really don't have the time, Martin.

According to Gideon, Savage is going to be out in the open tonight... vulnerable.

Now, in order to capture him, I require the services of...

A k*ller, klepto, and pyro?

Bingo.

Here we stand at the edge of history.

But as tempting as it might be to celebrate our previous victories, it is only for the next and final battle that you will be remembered.

There's no way we can grab him here.

Not with an army standing between us.

Shh, I'm trying to listen to this guy.

He gives a hell of a speech.

Onward to victory!

[all shout in unison]

Onward to immortality!

[all shout in unison]

Present arms!

Quick time. Move!

All set on our end.

Jax is in the Jumpship, ready to extract you guys.

Especially if... and by if, I mean when... this thing goes south.

What exactly do you think you were doing back there?

Distracting Savage's pals, which worked, by the way.

Yes, well, I could've been k*lled.

Never said it worked perfectly.

At least it wasn't a complete bust.

We found out about Kendra's bracelet.

What bracelet?

[computer whirring]

My bracelet... I was wearing it the night of my first death.

That's great.

Not the death part. That's terrible.

But you told us that objects present on the night of your death can be used to k*ll Savage.

You're my fiancée. I listen to you.

And that's sweet, but there's still one small problem.

It's a bracelet; how are you supposed to k*ll Savage with it?

A question we will answer the moment we have obtained it.

We need our resident kleptomaniacs to steal that bracelet.

Captain, I've detected movement 300 meters southwest of our position and closing.

Savage's army?

Negative.

I believe they are all that remains of the resistance forces.


I'm going to make contact with them.

They might have information on Savage that we can use to our advantage.

In the meantime, Ms. Lance, get Ms. Saunders ready.

Ray.

How am I supposed to teach someone to fight with a piece of jewelry?

Good question.

It wasn't rhetorical.

Thank you, gentlemen, for accompanying me on this excursion.

Oh, no problem.

I just love hiking through the woods in the middle of World w*r III.

What if, instead of encountering these resistance fighters, we meet up with more of Savage's forces?

Why else do you think I brought along Firestorm and The Atom?

[engine rumbling]

[people yelling indistinctly]

Give me one good reason why we shouldn't blow you straight to hell.

Better yet, give her several good reasons.

My wife and son live in Whitechapel.

It was hit hard.

I know.

The same fate will befall you if you don't accept our help.

How do we know you're not with Savage?

Because if we were, you'd be dead right now.

Look, feel free to sh**t us, but from the looks of it, you could use all the allies you can get.

Whitechapel fell 11 days ago.

We have a lot of refugees.

You think your wife and son are among them?

Sadly, I'm confident that they're not.

Still, we would like to help in whatever way we can.

Very well; get yourselves acclimated, and I'll rejoin you shortly.

[indistinct chatter]

Hey.

Uh, I would've brought more, but...

Jefferson.

Jefferson, let's... let's return to the ship, and we'll bring back those additional provisions.

Don't worry.

There's plenty more where that came from.

We'll be back.

So what did you mean back there, about your family?

I'd rather not discuss it.

Yeah, I picked up on that.

I also picked up on the fact that we're in London just a few days before Savage tries to k*ll your wife and son, and you're not trying to get them to safety.

After my first attempt on Savage in Ancient Egypt, my very next stop was here in 2166.

I found Miranda and Jonas exactly where I'd left them, and we... we raced towards the Waverider, but we had a run-in with Savage's shocktroopers.

Miranda and Jonas were cut down.

So I jumped even further back, and the outcome was exactly the same.

I watched my family die countless times at the hands of Savage and his forces before I realized that...

Time wants to happen.

Funny feeling knowing that the universe itself doesn't want you to save your family.

All right, what are you all playing at?

I retina-scanned the four of you.

There's no record of you anywhere, and you and your friends disappeared 150 years ago.

Believe me when I tell you it would take about that much time for us to tell the whole story.

But the most important thing is that we get as close to Vandal Savage as possible.

No one gets close to Savage, especially not now.

Some idiots made an attempt on his life earlier tonight.

He's gone to ground in the citadel's bunker and he's holed up good and tight.

Delta Camp is under att*ck. Taking heavy fire.

We need air support.


Where's Delta Camp?

Establish a perimeter!

Once it's secure, we'll search for survivors.

Last week, Savage's forces laid waste to Tokyo.

London is the last patch of free ground on the planet.

Savage's armies have cut down the most formidable militaries in the world.

What do you men think you can do against an evil like this?

[foreboding music]

♪ ♪


There were no survivors from the att*ck.

No, whatever w*apon Savage used against the rebels was quite effective.

Maybe Professor Stein and I should survey the wreckage, analyze some soil samples, determine what kind of weaponry Savage is using.

Until we figure out a way to thwart his firepower, the rebels are as good as dead.

But remember why we're here: to stop Savage, not to slow him down.

Do we have a plan for stealing this bracelet?

We're on it.

Please don't tell me the plan is to walk into Savage's citadel and steal it off her wrist.

All right, I won't tell you that.

[groans]

All right, well, we still have the issue of how to turn a piece of jewelry into a lethal w*apon.

Perhaps there is reference to the bracelet in Professor Boardman's diary.

I doubt it.

I've read through my son's research a thousand times.

Savage has devastating w*apon at his command, and here now, at the eleventh hour, we could sorely use a w*apon of our own.

I'll look into it.

This is such a waste of time.

I've already looked through every single page of Aldus' notebooks.

If he had written something specific about the bracelet and k*lling Savage, I would have known it already.

Here it is.

[melancholy music]

You ever think about him?

Carter?

I try not to.

It's not like I'll ever see him again.

Not in this lifetime, anyway.

Besides, Carter is my past.

Ray is my future.

Still, 4,000-year-long relationship... seems like it'd be hard to get over.

Yeah.

Maybe once Savage is gone, I can finally start to.

[grunts]

[banging]

[shattering]

Wow.

What's the occasion?

I'll give you one guess.

Our anniversary?

Look, I'm sorry, but in my defense, there's quite a few of them to remember.

We were only married in... eight lifetimes.

That's a lot.

But I do remember your Victorian England incarnation being particularly tough to be pinned down.

Why are you handing this to me?

Well, it's an anniversary gift.

Oh. [laughs]

You have got to stop giving me weapons as presents.

I think it's time you learn how to use it.

But it's your w*apon.

Savage has m*rder*d us countless times, and we aren't always lucky enough to die together.

This is awfully depressing talk for our anniversary, don't you think?

Kendra, this is important.

I need to know that if I go first, you have everything you need to face him.

I don't want to think about facing Savage... or life... without you.

You'll never be without me, no matter what.

I'll always be near.

Just give it a try.

Who's to say I'll ever be strong enough to k*ll Savage by myself?

Just trust me.

You have everything you need.

There I was, thinking we could go a whole week without kidnapping anyone.

I agree.

It's a little more complicated than that.

She knew who I was.

I know who all of you are.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Gareeb.

I see Savage has been rather chatty with his lieutenants.

I'm not his lieutenant.

I'm his daughter.

Vandal Savage has a daughter?

Apparently it's true. There's a lid for every pot.

And this lid is gonna be very upset when he finds out that we took his pot.

You know what I mean.

So what's the problem?

It's not like we're on Savage's Christmas card list.

And we snagged the bracelet.

You're welcome, by the way.

We need to weaponize that thing before Savage knows that it and his daughter are missing.

Actually, I think I've got that figured out.

But I'm gonna need you to burn something for me.

About time.

We also need to figure out what we're going to do with our new guest.

She's seen us and the ship.

If she runs back to Savage, we're giving him a huge advantage.

So we make her our advantage.

We send Papa Savage a finger.

And we keep sending them till he puts his own head on the chopping block.

That is a positively lurid idea.

I know we're in the midst of a w*r, but can't we maintain our honor?

I'd rather maintain my life, Professor.

If she is Savage's daughter, then she would know the details of his defenses.

Yes, well, how exactly are we going to get those details out of her?

I'm on it.

[door whirring]

Hello, Cassie. May I call you Cassie?

Here's the deal. You have information.

I want it.

The question is, how am I gonna get it?

I'm the daughter of Vandal Savage, the immortal ruler of the world.

Do you think he hasn't prepared me for this?

Do you think I haven't already been taught to endure the most extreme suffering?

You know, your father sounds a lot like mine.

Could never really say, "I love you," except with his fists.

Our fathers are nothing alike, Mr. Snart.

14 years ago, the world was ruled by a madman, Per Degaton.

He unleashed the Armageddon Virus in order to conquer the globe.

It tore through the world like a fire.

Millions d*ed, including my mother.

There wee riots, wars. Hell on Earth.

No one dared to stand up to Degaton, except for my father.

He may not be a kind man, but he is the only one capable of putting this world back together.

So you can t*rture me if you like.

My suffering's a small price to pay.

Who said anything about t*rture?

[fire whooshing]

You sure you can do this?

Bash Savage's skull with Carter's mace?

You got a better plan?

It's not the w*apon I'm worried about.

Thousands of years of reincarnation, and I'm guessing you've k*lled a grand total of nobody.

Yet here you are, entering into the Olympics of m*rder.

What's your point?

You sure you can look Savage in the eye and k*ll him?

I'm sure.

Well, you better be.

Otherwise, you're gonna end up like the last guy who swung that thing.

Savage's superweapon isn't an expl*sive.

The exact conclusion I've just come to after examining soil samples from the att*ck site.

How did you determine it?

Gideon... she found a defunct spy satellite.

Look at the photos here. This is the camp.

And here is the camp, destroyed.

Your father sent a 200-foot robot to level a bunch of tents.

The people in that camp were rebels, dangerous radicals.

Please.

Do these people look like radicals to you?

They're nobodies... everyday folk hoping to survive your father's reign of terror.
