DC's Legends of Tomorrow

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.

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?

Or not.

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 smart phones.

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 will be joining us

on our little crusade.

You usually prefer to work alone, Captain.

This time, I'll need a team.

First recruit, Dr. Raymond Palmer.

Also known as the Atom.

This feels good.

Being back in the field.

Not that this is a field.

Ray, are you up for this?

Uh, too late to turn back now.

Huh. Someone removed the central processing unit.

Are you sure?

I designed the computer's CPU, so yeah, pretty sure.

Well, HIVE would only remove it if they knew--

You had me shrink down and fly into their secret computer lab.

My night's about to get a whole lot worse, isn't it?

Oh, you can take them.

They have guns, you have a super-suit.

It's time to start growing.

This is gonna get a little rough.

Oh, I am not one of your adversaries.

Next recruit.

Sara Lance, former member of the League of Assassins,

also formerly dead.

Miss Lance. Join me for a drink?

I have come quite a long way to meet you.

Firestorm. The merged superform of one Jefferson Jackson

and Professor Martin Stein.

Caution, Jefferson.

83% of the chemicals in this factory are combustible.

Yeah. Tell that to Rambo.

I thought I told you to be careful.

What's the use of sharing my intelligence

if you won't listen?

Stop bossing me around

like I'm one of your snot-nosed undergrads.

Excuse me. - Who are you?

Kendra Saunders and Carter Hall.

The latest reincarnations of Hawkman and Hawkgirl.

Kendra!

You, my love, almost got us killed.

Thank you.

Your flying is still clumsy,

like a bird just out of the nest.

Well, maybe that's because up until two months ago,

I was a barista, not some damn winged demi-goddess.

Have you two considered couples counseling?

I hear it's quite popular in this century.

There seems to be an error, Captain.

These candidates, Leonard Snart and Mick Rory,

- are a pair of criminals. There's no error, Gideon.

Drop your weapons! - (GRUNTS)

Fry, you little piggies!

A minivan? Really, Snart?

Cops'll never hassle a dad buying diapers

in the middle of the night.

- What the... - Watch it!

What a headache.

Stein?

The hell are you doing here?

I'm as ignorant as you for once.

- Where are we? - (GROANS)

Why don't you ask the dude who knocked us out and kidnapped us?

British dude with a flashy thing 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.

The hell are you talking about?

Vandal is immortal.

Kendra and I reincarnate.

Yeah, I've done that.

What the hell does this Randall guy gotta do with us?

Vandal.

In the future, he will employ

the evil he's perfected over his long life,

and the power he's 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, uh, 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.

I could get behind that.

And because if you don't follow me,

this is what is in store for your world, 150 years from now.

I could've chosen any time and any place.

Of all the people who ever lived,

I chose you eight.

I certainly hope that you won't let me and the world down.

If your answer is yes, meet me at this address in 36 hours.

- I had that. - I know.

And it's fun to watch you kick and punch and skewer bad guys,

but I need a minute of your time.

I'm sure Captain Hunter will return me to the moment I left,

but I thought, you know, just in case,

someone should know I was gone.

We went up against Savage.

He does not go down easy.

That's why Hunter's recruited a team.

A team that includes Leonard Snart and Mick Rory.

So what do you know about Captain Hunter?

He's a Time Master from the 22nd century.

He's a little hard to google.

So you know nothing, and yet you trust him?

I'm as trusting as you are cynical.

Oh, I'm cynical and it's difficult for me to trust anyone.

But that has kept me alive.

I died once.

At least the world thought I did.

And you know what happened?

Nothing.

All the money, all the buildings,

all the inventions,

the world didn't care.

My life ultimately didn't matter.

Rip has given me the chance to help save the world.

I have to take it.

Keep your head on a swivel while you're at it.

Two hundred and six times.

Savage has killed both of us 206 times--

Yeah, and I'm not too eager about making it 207.

So, what?
