07x10 - The Fixed Point

- Wait, wait, wait.

You seriously want
to stop the assassination

of Archduke Franz Ferdinand?

Okay, let's... let's just hear her out.

After the assassination of the archduke,

Europe's rival alliances
declared w*r on each other.

This singular m*rder
led to million deaths.

The assassination
of the archduke, therefore,

is what is known
as a fixed point in history.

Sorry, a fixed point?

Fixed point. Noun.

An occurrence so pivotal to history

that no time travel
is allowed on or near it.

I'm a little fuzzy
on my time travel logic.

How is this a good idea?

Yes, I appreciate
your resolve, Miss Gideon,

but, you see, we can't just go
and prevent the Great w*r.

Now, you were the ones
that taught me that.

Well, exactly. Fixed points

are shrouded in mystery,
even to evil Gideon.

Still, she and her robots
won't be able to resist

restoring the timeline,
and we will let them.

Oh, so we're not actually
going to stop the World w*r.

We're just gonna let her
think we are to lure her in.

And the assassination was
a notoriously chaotic event,

Which will give us the window
we need to take back the ship.

Making the robots do the work
of fixing the timeline

while we unplug your evil twin.

That is diabolical, Gideon.

- I learned from the best.
- All right, g*ng.

I know it has been a rough road
since we lost our Waverider,

but that ends now.

This time we're gonna win,

and today we are going home.

All right, g*ng-g*ng.

The assassination
was such a famous fiasco,

I kindly decided to draw you
a diagram to help explain.

Ooh, I didn't know you were an artist.

And now I see why.

No, I get it. It's... abstract.

Okay, so my drawing skills
are a little rusty.

You don't have to be
so insensitive, you jerks.

- Now just shut up and focus.
- Sorry.

All right, so there are
members of a secret society

called the Black Hand
on the scene that day,

including the eventual
assassin Gavrilo Princip.

The assassin set up a course

from the archduke's
motorcade route in Sarajevo.

Copy.

Where does the hippopotamus
come into play?

That's the archduke's car.

He's waving.

Oh, very abstract.

Okay, so we will set up here
next to the balloon salesman.

That is the assassin,
and he's holding a grenade.

The assassin tossed
the grenade at the motorcade,

but it bounced off the car
and blew up nearby.

So Princip, with his mission a bust,

went to a nearby sandwich shop.

Hey, I see that sandwich,
and you know what?

That is some attention
to detail on the lettuce.

- Good job, bud.
- Yeah.

That's an expl*si*n.

The motorcade took a wrong turn

and went straight past
Princip's lunch spot.

So Princip sees the archduke,

realizes this is his moment,

- and sh**t him point-blank.
- [g*nsh*t]

Okay, so our surest sh*t
at unfixing the fixpoint

is to take out the three assassins.

And the best place to do that
is at the Cosic Tavern

where the assassins went that morning.

Okay, so we'll knock out the Black Hand

just long enough that
they miss the motorcade.

Meanwhile, we'll need
to hide the time machine.

Astra can work her Permuto spell,

turn it into something more portable,

and bring it back here.

- Yes.
- Nice

And then the team
will get into position.

- By that swimming pool.
- Field, Gary.

Field. And when Gideon sends her robots

to keep the th century on course,

we will be ready
to hijack our home back.

All right, Gwyn,

if we're gonna save Alun,
we have to be smart.

We can't cause any ripples
that might affect

- the larger timeline.
- I understand.

And I have to say,
I am mightily appreciative

that you've changed
your mind on this, Miss Sharpe.

- Thank you.
- We would be dead

if it weren't for you.
We can give you this.

My divine mission is almost complete.

Now let me show you.

This is where Alun was ambushed.

Oh, perfect. Here you go.

Ooh!

- Oh, little soldiers.
- Yes.

I found them in the attic.

Constantine was a bit of a hoarder.

Ooh, seems like a very peculiar fellow.

- Mr. Green!
- Hm?

[GASPS]

What? Is the Waverider here?

Uh, not yet.

I'm just here to drop off
Gwyn's time machine.

Astra said it should change back soon.

Well, I'll assume that
that makes sense then.

No, that makes absolutely no sense.

What happened with the archduke?

Oh, we're still waiting our turn

in a sort of time travel
"Cheers" meets Thunder Dome.

- What's a Thunder Dome?
- Uh, you don't want to know.

- Wait, stop, is everyone, uh...
- No, no, we're fine.

We're fine. It's a pub
filled with time travelers.

Yeah, people like us

who are there to save the archduke.

A whole community of time travelers

all with the same aim and purpose.

Wow, Gwyn, none of this

would exist without your invention.

Wait a s... uh-oh.

None of this would exist
without your invention,

which means if we go on to save Alun,

you never invent time travel,
which means

no Waverider, no Legends.

And no one to go back to save Alun

in the first place?

Ah, I can't deal with
all these time loops

and paradoxes all in one day.

I'm just gonna leave this in the foyer.

Okay, okay, okay,
so, uh, it's not as simple

as saving Alun from the Germans, right?

But we just have to
make sure that you go on

to invent time travel.

Oh, I've already
solved that, Miss Sharpe.

You see, my mission is to save Alun.

However, my younger self
must never find out.

I must always end up here.

What? But...

that means he'd be out
there alive, and you'd be...

Alone.

So let me show you
where he was ambushed.

Time is k*lling people?

I don't even understand
how time can have this power.

But I suppose I've never questioned

what made a fixed point fixed.

Who knew time travel
could be this complicated?

I don't know how you've wrapped

your human brains around it
all these years.

Oh, wait. Yes, I do.

I need a drink.

but you've gotta trust me on this one.

I've been in the time travel game

Oh, you've been in it for a long time.

Okay, well, then I guess
that makes you the authority.

Well...

I guess that does
make you the authority.

Now that you have
the Legends behind you,

I promise you we will
do whatever it takes

to make sure that you can be with Alun.

It moves me to know that.

What moves me even more is...

your unrelenting belief

- that there is a way.
- Always.

I thank you for that, Miss Sharpe.

Come here.

- Oh, yes, okay.
- It's gonna be okay.

I'm a hugger.

I guess I'm a hugger too now as well.

May we introduce
the anti-time manipulator.

Now, do be expeditious, Miss Lance.

You see, there is only enough power

to shield you from times stopping once.

Okay. No pressure.

- Oh, there's pressure.
- Lots of pressure.

Loads and loads of pressure.

Yeah, okay. Thanks.

- You're welcome.
- Very welcome.

Uh-uh-uh-uh. Ticket.

Uh...

no one?

There's no more.

We don't have any more.

I'm sorry, but rules are rules.

Here.

Take ours before we change our minds.

These should come in handy too.

Comms? Hell yeah.

Wait, why do you guys want to help us?

I thought we were
a bunch of old geezers, huh?

Yeah, sorry about that.

We tend to lash out
when we feel threatened.

Yeah, we've been working out
our issues in group therapy.

Nice.

Anyways, you guys still
look like you've got it,

and this might be
your biggest legend yet.

So, please.

Thank you. We only need one.

What happened to your supper speed?

Long story. Give it up, Sara.

You can never defeat a fixed point.

Have you met me?

♪ ♪

- [cr*ck]
- Ah...

Just surrender or die again.

Surrender isn't an option.

I've sworn to protect
the fixed point at all costs.

So when you k*ll me,

you better be ready to take my place,

or all reality will fall apart.

Look, I'm not trying to break reality,

and I definitely don't want
to take your place.

- Then why are you doing this?
- It's a long story.

Well, we have all the time
in the world it seems.

Fine. Let's do this differently.

Care for a drink?

First off, how?

Here's the deal.

Every day is the same day.

I wake up, eat my porridge,
do my stretches, meditate,

and then I go to work,

except my job
is to protect the fixed point.

Job, porridge? Who are you?

The last time I saw you,
you were a despicable villain.

After the Black Flash vaporized me,

the time wraiths pulled me
back from nothingness.

They still had a plan for me.

My powers stripped, I was "re-educated"

and assigned here
to protect this fixed point.

As penance for your past crimes.

No.

Believe it or not, Sara,

I came to see their point
that history cannot

and should not be changed.

So I'm posted here

making sure this fixed point
remains intact with this.

This keeps me trapped in this day,

June , .

When this timer hits zero,
it jumps me back hours.

It can also freeze time,
as you've discovered.

It really is just a handy little gadget.

So tell me why you are so fixed

on unfixing this fixed point.

[CHUCKLES] Say that five times fast.

Look, I don't want to stop World w*r I,

not forever at least.

I just need to stop it long enough

to attract the attention of our timeship

so we can steal it back from the evil AI

that's controlling it and
her army of evil robots.

I'm just trying to get everyone home.

You may be determined to
protect this point in history,

but my drive to keep my family safe

will break you down.

So unless you have another idea

to get me out of your hair,

I guess we should get back
to fighting forever.

Well...

There is one other idea.

I might be able to buy you some time

by making it look like

the assassination was prevented.

How?

I'll make it so Gabriela Princip

will still assassinate the archduke,

only in minutes,

but your ship's AI won't know that.

It'll just think that there's
been a five-alarm aberration.

minutes is plenty of time
for us to get our ship back.

Fair warning, though,
you go one second over,

and I will have no choice
but to try and k*ll you again,

and if you k*ll me, you must swear

to take up my post and
protect the fixed point.

[SIGHS]

You have a deal.

You got minutes, Sara Lance.
