01x12 - Last Refuge

[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.

The Pilgrim is the Time Masters' most deadly assassin.

She's hunting our younger selves.

Either you're getting better or I'm getting lazy.

Ignoring her advice about Ray was your advice, remember?

Don't listen to my advice.

So did you tell him what she said?

Oh, sure.

"Hey, Ray, by the way, the woman I met in 1871 was me.

And she told me our love was doomed to fail because you're not Carter."

So that was a no?

Look, Ray and I are happy together.

We should be able to enjoy that before I have to drop the whole doomed-love-affair thing on his head.

You're welcome.

You know what I don't get is why doesn't the Pilgrim just go back a week earlier and k*ll younger Rory then?

'Cause the Omega Protocol calls for precision.

Multiple attempts from the Pilgrim could do irreparable temporal damage.

Which means she's only got one sh*t at k*lling each and every one of us.

And we only have one sh*t to extract your younger selves from the timeline before she pulls the trigger.

Gideon was tracking the Pilgrim's temporal wake.

I didn't think it was possible to conceal one's movements through time.

Hello? Can anybody hear me?

No.

Look, the important thing is not to panic.

Somebody's playing Russian roulette with our younger selves.

Why would we panic?

Well, there are a few exceptions.

Kendra's ability to reincarnate means that it would do the Pilgrim no good to target her.

And as a former Time Master, to remove me from history would be quite dangerous to the timeline.

Well, that's convenient.

And what's that supposed to mean?

Nothing.

It just occurs to me you've never told us about your past, Rip.

And I don't trust a man with secrets.

On September 26th, you're gonna be deployed along the K4 circle.

Keep your head on a swivel for an IED.

You know this beca... you're from the future.

Please. Promise me you'll be careful.

♪ ♪

I'll be back soon, okay?

♪ ♪

Hey.

Hey.

Hope you don't mind, my fiancée... my other fiancée is in our quarters, resting.

Yeah, no, that's... that's fine.

Hey, I'm sorry.

No, really, it's fine.

No, I I mean, being at death's door is not the right time to pop the question.

Look, when you proposed, I was so afraid of losing you.

And then facing the Pilgrim, I realized there is never going to be a right time for this.

So we should stop waiting for the right time.

I don't understand.

♪ ♪

I want to marry you, Ray.

I mean it.

♪ ♪

How's your sister?

She's a tough kid.

How's your dad?

Sleeping off that amnesia pill from Rip.

♪ ♪

Hey.

I might have just stopped my dad from getting k*lled in Mogadishu.

I just thought I should tell you in case there's a time paradox or whatever.

Well, as I've been saying, Mr. Jackson, time wants to happen.

Yeah, I know. But I had to try.

And perhaps what time wants is to see you and your father back together.

♪ ♪

Ugh.

Just pulled younger me's head from out of his ass.

I'm not sure it stuck.

Me either.

Then I saw younger Rip change, and I thought, why not give it a sh*t?

Surprised you didn't advise your teenage self to not get on a certain boat.

Yeah, me too.

Yak, yak, yak.

I thought we were on a clock here.

Indeed we are.

Time, the history from which your younger selves were removed, is beginning to set... as is evidenced by the change in Clarissa's memory.

Okay.

So how long do we have till these changes stick?

No one knows.

Which is why we need to move swiftly to locate Vandal Savage if any of your lives are to be restored to normal.

So how long will it take to determine a new location for Savage?

Longer than we have.

Fortunately, there is one place in time that we know Savage to be.

You said he conquered the world in 2166.

You also said it was too dangerous to strike at Savage while he was at the height of his powers.

That it is.

But with your younger selves removed from history, we have quite literally run out of time.
