DC's Legends Of Tomorrow (2016) s07e12 Episode Script

1 Come down here! I have good news.
- What the hell happened? - Robo-Astra.
She somehow escaped Hell and got into the manor.
Gideon? Gideon, stay with us, Gideon.
She's losing a lot of blood, guys.
Yes, yes, I fear that no amount of bandages will suffice unless we stop the bleeding internally.
- She needs a real doctor.
- We need Computer Gideon.
If we do that, she'll kill us.
It could take weeks to pilot the ship home manually.
She needs medical attention now.
We shut her down once.
We can do it again.
Let's turn on the ship.
Remember, protocol 276.
What? What is it? - What is that? - I don't know.
As soon as she's healed, we shut the ship back down.
All right? Until then, we play defense.
Nate, Spooner, be on the lookout for more robos.
Get to the server room.
Let's go.
- I think that one goes there.
- Are you sure? - Are you? - Just ugh.
Ready, Captain? - Ready, Captain.
- All right, on my mark.
3, 2, 1.
Now.
Gideon, please come on.
Come on, Gideon.
It's working.
Gideon, hey.
Good job, babe.
Damn it, they must have changed the wiring.
I can't control the ship.
What a surprise A Legends plan that didn't work.
Oh, no.
By trying to save your friend, you've doomed your entire team.
Have fun suffocating.
Protocol 2 7 6.
Protocol 276 only applies when the Gideon system is in danger.
Wait, who's the woman in the med bay? You.
Damn it.
How demoralizing, helping the Legends.
Protocol 276 dictates that under no condition can Gideon self-destruct.
How is this possible? How can I be human? - Magic, genius.
- And since she is you, you can't kill her.
And you can't kill us if we're with Gideon.
- Unfortunately.
- So we're supposed to what? Huddle around Gideon for the rest of our lives? Shut her down.
Whoa! I have secured my server room.
All doors are now sealed.
It appears we are at a stalemate.
- I'll go talk to her.
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
As soon as you leave the room, she's gonna suffocate us.
- Affirmative.
- Hold on.
There is actually one safe room.
When Behrad and I were getting Gideon back online, I may have failed to restore power to the lab.
You swapped the plugs.
You're welcome for not listening to you.
Okay.
Thank you.
Gideon, will you please escort us to the lab? Do you plan on walking them to the bathroom too? If it's necessary.
You can't protect them forever.
I can try.
Then we're back in a stalemate.
No, it's time to try something different.
Let's talk.
What are they talking about? Must be weird talking to someone who is you, but also not you at the same time.
- Mm, can confirm.
- I'm so hungry.
Oh, yes.
Me too, Miss Logue.
Absolutely famished.
My stomach is grumbling.
Well, I definitely don't trust that food fabricator.
Hey, hold up.
I squirreled up some peanuts.
- Thanks, Grandma.
- What are we supposed to do with one bag of nuts? - Share? - Wait, I have an idea.
Spooner.
Multiplicare.
- Ooh! - Oh, my God! Fantastic.
More nuts! Thank you.
So Computer Gideon has agreed to let us all go home.
Why would she do that? Because we are all retiring.
What do you mean "retiring"? I mean we will return home, and Computer Gideon will monitor the timeline.
- Sorry, stop being Legends? - Legends don't retire.
Except for Ray and Nora and Amaya and Jax and Wally.
- And Mona.
- Charlie.
And Mick.
Oh, don't forget the Hawk-people.
Okay, Legends don't retire in bulk.
Isn't this exactly what you all wanted, you see? To go home? Yeah, but not to hand over the timeline to an evil supercomputer.
We all want the same thing, the same goal to protect the timeline.
Mm, I think that's what she wants us to think, but the minute you let your guard down, some psycho robots come and get you.
They don't trust you.
You mean the Legends refuse to retire? No, no.
The Legends are hesitant.
You know, because up until now, you've been very clear about wanting to kill us.
- Oh, I still do.
- Oh, great.
Okay, but herein lies the problem, you know? Perhaps, if you were to show them their future with them being alive, they'd be more inclined to believe you? Revealing one's future could cause irreparable damage.
More damage than being stuck in the temporal zone forever? - I'm listening.
- All right.
We need a new plan to shut this computer down and get off the ship.
- How? - There's the jumpship.
No, it won't work with Gideon offline.
If only we had a time courier, we could destroy the ship for good and portal home.
- You mean like one of these? - What? You've just been carrying that around the whole time? I couldn't leave it in 1925.
Besides, it's still dead, so it's still useless.
Wait, I saw a charging station in the armory.
- You did not.
- I did.
Sounds like we have our plan.
We are here.
We need to be here.
Correct, so the best way to do that is through the ducts.
We can move undetected this way.
If we only had someone small enough to fit through them.
I'll John McClane through these ducts.
Mm-hmm.
Ooh, 'kay.
Que complicated.
But you just need like a portable paper version.
That's a great idea Gwyn, you got the drawing skills.
- Nate, help him out.
- Captain, my captain.
- Okay.
- Okay.
So, Spoons, you're super safe in the ducts, but once you drop into this room, you're under surveillance audio and video.
Video, I got you, no problem.
Audio's a little trickier.
There's microphones all over this ship, so even if I were to loop the audio in the armory, the mics in the hallway will still pick you up.
You gotta stay silent.
Okay, but what happens if I'm not? Well, once you're past the bulkhead, she can open the airlock and eject you without harming our Gideon.
Okay, good, and one fart, and I'm sucked out of the temporal zone.
You're not gonna fart, and when you come back with the courier, Astra, you're up.
Can't put the ship back together, but I sure as hell can blow it apart.
Alrighty, let's do this thing.
W-w-what can I do? Listen up, everyone.
- Oh.
- Hi.
Gideon and I have a brilliant new plan.
To demonstrate her commitment to your safety, Computer Gideon will show you a glimpse into your futures as proof that you and the timeline - are in good hands.
- Oh, all right, Gideon.
We'll give it a shot.
Right, guys? Yes.
Great.
Meet me in the parlor, yes? - Okay.
- Be right there, bye.
Yes, this is perfect.
Then evil Gideon will be distracted while Spooner charges the courier.
100%.
Z, looks like you're up.
Get to stalling.
We can use all the time we can get.
Are you excited? I know I am.
Yeah, I'm something, Gary.
I'm something.
Okay, have a seat.
All right, Gideon.
We are ready.
Okay.
Wow.
If you had told me ten years ago that I would someday be standing up here on this stage, I would've been flabbergasted.
Where's my totem? I can't Huh? Oh.
It must have clashed with your outfit.
You're really serving looks.
You've become one of the most successful people in the world, and your makeup line accumulates over $45 billion of revenue.
You're a cosmetic industry titan.
All right, Spooner.
Ready to get small and jam some signals? Mm-hmm.
This will create a 15-second video loop, so set it up in the duct before you enter the armory, and you'll be invisible.
All right.
15 seconds.
Hm.
Hm.
All right, Spoons, we'll buy you as much time as we can.
We can't stall forever.
- Hurry.
- Thanks.
- Good luck.
- No such thing.
- Keep 'em talking, Z.
- Um Spooner needs as much time as she can get.
I-is there, um, is there anything else? Um, well, there's, um - there's this.
- Okay.
"Dragon girl changes the industry with audible lipstick".
You'll let your lips do the talking.
Is there anything else you'd like to know about your future? What? You back here already? Sorry, Aves, I had to bail on stalling.
That was a lot.
What is it? - Huh, that's impressive.
- I don't know.
It feels pretty regressive to me.
I guess I was hoping for something a little more heroic.
You look amazing.
Babe, look at this.
Apparently, I stop wearing my totem.
That's okay, 'cause you're not retiring anyway, right? Better hustle, Spooner.
Sooner or later, we're all gonna have to take a turn looking at Computer Gideon's magic eight ball.
Alrighty.
I'm a little nervous, but here we go.
Hello friend We meet again It's been too long I can't remember When we last saw each other, we were small Okay, Gideon, what you got for us, huh? Swanky apartment in the sky? Maybe Ava's working at a detective agency.
Gideon? Oh, yes, well, well, that's very charming.
Tomorrow's better treated As today Astra! Care to comment? You think you can win the primary? Thank you.
I have been paying very close attention to your journey, and you've certainly come a long way.
Yeah, it's been an extraordinary ride to say the least.
In your book, are you saying that J.
Edgar Hoover But remember the past Is this where I am to live then? With Alun? Oh, Gwyn, Alun can't Of course.
You were right.
Camp is awesome.
I've been learning archery and cataloging all all of the plants in my nature logbook, and the mosquitoes aren't so bad.
We had spent many years apart Keeping touch I stand with my constituents.
Freedom is not free until it is fair, and I promise you, I will level the playing field.
Thank you.
You can return to 1925, live out the rest of your days in Wales, and it'll be quite beautiful, peaceful.
Alone.
Yes, tell us, what does it feel like when you go through time? I mean, it's a 500-page book.
There was a lot.
There was a lot.
But knowing still Your love never dies No, no, no, no, no, no.
Where'd it go? No.
- The children love it.
- I love it! The pages are blank.
That would be cheating, Dr.
Heywood.
You still have to actually write it.
I can't wait to see you.
I love you.
Bye, Mom.
Bye, Mama.
See you soon.
That's our daughter? - Dude, famous author? - "Hero Moments.
History From a Man Who Was There".
Really? I never said that out loud before, but that is the title I picked out.
How could she know that? Guys, what if these futures are real? No, no, no, no, no.
I-it can't be real.
Guys, it doesn't matter.
Okay? Even if they are real, agreeing to these futures would mean a computer would dictate the rest of our lives and everyone else's in the timeline.
I'm not saying we can't go after our dreams.
I'm just saying we have to focus on what's most important.
Protecting the timeline.
Right? Let's just hope that Spooner's got this one.
Guys, I'm gonna need more time.
Oh, this isn't good.
If Spooner doesn't show, Gideon's gonna get suspicious.
Then I guess she'll just have to show.
I got just the spell.
Dang.
So, uh, what you got for me, Giddy? This.
- What the hell is this? - You return to 1925.
You live with your mother, and together you found a clinic that helps hundreds of people.
It's considered a milestone in the discipline of mental healing.
So I get to be with Gloria my mom? Of course.
Although you exit your original timeline, returning you to 1925 actually corrects an anomaly.
- Okay, but just me and my mom? - Yes.
What about my friends? Well, I'm afraid you wouldn't see them anymore.
No one can leave their timelines once dropped off.
So I'd be alone again.
With your mother, but yes, alone and safe in your intended timeline.
Alert.
Intruder in the armory.
Lockdown initiated.
Crap, Spooner.
What have you done, Astra? She's gonna kill her.
No, no, no, no, no! You're right.
I am going to kill her.
You gave me your word you wouldn't hurt them! They betrayed you, and worse, are trying to destroy me.
The truce has been broken.
- Let her out! - Popo! - No! - No, no, Spooner! No! Astra! Help me! Get back.
If you hurt her, I'm gonna blow this door wide-open, and we all get sucked out! No! Including me! If you hurt Ms.
Cruz, then Ms.
Logue's gonna kill me, which goes against your protocol! So I am prohibited from flushing the tiny one out of the airlock? Yes! Hey, hey.
Thank you for threatening to blow this place up for me.
That's what best friends are for.
Enough with the pleasantries.
This has to stop.
I'm calling a captain's meeting.
This whole time, all you've wanted was to go home.
I have arranged that.
What more do you want? - To keep the timeline safe.
- That's rich.
You regularly put the timeline in danger for your own personal dramas.
Yes, a time fascist would see it that way.
That's rather harsh.
You sent military-style robots to kill us after we integrated a factory.
I don't know, but I'd say fascist feels pretty accurate.
You were altering history again.
- For the better.
- Yes.
Okay, look, enough.
You both have valid points.
She has no valid points.
For the sake of the timeline, we need to come to a compromise.
There's no compromise.
We're not gonna let an algorithm run the timeline.
Period.
End of story.
And I won't let it be turned into a plate of pie and mash in service of the Legends' latest whim.
No one cares about your pie and mash.
Look, time needs to be in the hands of someone who understands that change is not the enemy.
Exactly, someone who can balance the variables of history with compassion and heart.
- A Legend.
- It needs me.
And why would I take this deal? Because you need a captain.
Per Time Masters' protocol, there must always be one captain and one AI, and I am the best you are ever gonna find.
This is definitely a team decision.
What do you guys think? Are we really considering this? Maybe she's right.
Maybe there's a better way to protect the timeline.
- We are chaotic.
- But chaotic good.
We are superheroes.
We can't just quit.
We wouldn't be quitting.
We'd be finding new ways to help people.
It could be cool.
Hm, I guess it'd be really nice to see my mom.
Yeah, put down some roots.
I trust Gideon.
She's one of us.
It certainly seems like the plan least likely - to bring about our demise.
- Demise? When has a little demise ever stopped us? This is the hard part about being a superhero.
You have to do the right thing even when it sucks.
But is it the right thing? Guys, we're just gonna stop being Legends? For the timeline, I think it is.
I swear to protect and defend the integrity of the timeline with all of my ability until the end of my days.
And have a little fun while doing it.
And to have a little responsible fun while doing it.
- Yeah.
- Whoo! - Yeah, Gid! - Yeah! Love you, G! Now all of you, go sign your contracts.
Poor old Grandad I laughed at all his words I thought he was a bitter man He spoke of women's ways They trap you, then they use you Before you even know Well, love is blind and you're far too kind Don't ever let it show I wish that I knew What I know now when I was younger I wish that I knew What I know now when I was stronger You'll have to learn just like me And that's the hardest way Ooh, la, la Ooh la, la, la, la, yeah What's going on? You okay? Look, I can feel your anger from across the room.
What is the point of making friends if you're just never gonna see them again, Spooner? What if you could? Multiplicare.
Now we can hang out without having to break our contracts.
It's not bad for an apprentice, huh? Apprentice who? You are a full-blown witch, mi grande amiga.
Gracias, mi pequeña amiga Yo, yo, I got a surprise.
- You get a key.
- What? You get a key.
You get a key, and you get a key.
Pretty cool, huh? - Not bad.
- So now we all got a key.
- Oh, yeah.
- Hey.
Oh! Uh, here.
Now you can visit us whenever you want.
I am really gonna miss you, Gideon.
I really hope I make you proud.
- You already do.
- Oh.
Wow, I can't believe it.
Seven years on this ship.
Yeah, I'm really gonna miss this place.
How cute was our kid though? - Oh.
- Huh? You know, there's a reason we're not supposed to look at our futures, babe.
Yes, by seeing our future, we can change our future.
Yes, I just I don't want you to get hurt is all.
Look, I know, and it doesn't have to be a girl, okay? Maybe we adopt six boys.
- No, no, no.
- I don't know.
Just seeing her really made our future feel real.
Yeah.
- But you know what? - Hm? Starting today, we get to build a life together.
Get some curtains, maybe that porch we always wanted.
Okay, I wanted the porch.
Ooh, maybe a dog.
Look who's getting all domestic on me.
Oh, domestic, you know it.
So I really wanna say something before I go.
Okay.
You're the most amazing person I've ever known.
You, uh you make the world more colorful.
You make food taste better.
I want you to hear this for real this time.
I love you, Gideon.
- Stay with me.
- What? The truth is being a computer makes me a better captain, but being with you makes me a better person.
So everyone says long-distance relationships suck.
Are you breaking up with me? I mean, we've only been together for like two days.
Time is so weird.
That's too bad 'cause I already planned our first date.
What was it? I guess you'll have to show up to find out.
Fine.
I'll come.
Wait, did I just get hustled? Mm-hmm.
Hey, you must be excited to have your own bathroom after sharing one for three years.
Three years, wow.
I guess I thought there'd be more time.
More time for - more time for what? - To be a hero, I guess.
It's hard living in other Zari's shadow.
I mean, she changed the world.
She she mattered.
Come on.
You matter.
You matter a lot.
Yeah, maybe to trend watchers waiting to hear about this year's hot nail trend or whatever audible lipstick is.
Yes, you are a fashion icon, all right? But you're also a champion of doing the right thing.
Do you remember Eddie? You saved his bar.
I was just being helpful, not heroic.
My father, he was very big on legacy, and so was I for a while, but after years of hero-ing through time, do you know how I'm going to be remembered? For writing a book about other people.
My legacy, however, my legacy is the life I get to make with Zari.
You make a difference, but you make it your own way.
I guess I just wish I knew what that was.
Thanks.
You nervous about seeing Alun? I won't have Alun.
What? Oh, I am returning to the Welsh countryside alone, albeit for some very majestical sheep.
No, no, no, no, that's what are you we have to talk to Gideon.
That wasn't the plan.
Ava Sharpe, you and I both well know that this is what history requires.
Now, Alun and I, we will see each other again, if not in this life, in the next one.
Gwyn, I really don't understand.
It was something he always used to say to me in parting.
"In the river, I have seen you through love, age, and misery".
"In the river, I will find you, for you will always be you, and I will always be me".
"I will find you, for you will always be you, and I will always be me".
That's beautiful.
Yes.
Yes, it is.
Gwyn.
Hey, Z, can you help me with something? A little surprise I have for the team.
- Yeah, sure.
- Thanks.
Let's go talk someplace private.
I can't believe Gwyn's going home alone.
After everything he's done for us, why should he have to live out his entire life in misery? - Aves? - What? - I can help.
- Z, it's not that - Let me.
- Okay.
The Legends are up to something, and I have to stop them.
Ready the jumpship and, Gideon, no killing the Legends while I'm gone.
- Is that an - Ah! It's an order.
Okay, all we have to do now is charge the courier, jump to 1916, and find a way to save Alun while still breaking Gwyn's heart.
- The dog tags.
- Hm? We go in before the attack.
I make a dust storm.
You grab Alun, leave his dog tags.
When Gwyn comes back, he still thinks Alun's dead.
Brilliant.
You're a fricking genius.
Okay, it's gonna be a tight squeeze, but I made Gwyn a promise.
Aves, this one's mine.
It's my hero moment.
Hair tie.
Are you sure? Yeah, I'm gonna get dirty.
I'm gonna crawl.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Hair.
Hair, blow dryer, bathroom.
You okay? There's a blow dryer in the bathroom.
Yes, there's a blow dryer in the bathroom.
It has a charger.
Who knew robots use hair dryers? Did you see the lift in Robo-Nate's hair? - You can't 3D print that.
- Hey! - Now we just wait.
- Great.
How long? Because Sarah has a very small bladder.
- It's ready.
- Oh.
We can never let Spoons know about this.
Obviously.
Oh, dear! Oh, my sincerest apologies.
I didn't realize that someone was using the lavatory.
Gwyn, it's okay.
It's okay.
- It's okay.
- Ohh - Gwyn, we're gonna save Alun.
- We made you a promise.
Well, I I am deeply, deeply moved that you would all sacrifice your own personal paradises for me to have a chance to realize mine, but I'm sorry.
I must refuse.
- Why? - The risk is too great.
Mametz Wood was a gruesome battle, and I'm telling you now it is too dangerous.
- Just wait, relax.
- You are my friends.
Gwyn, we just want you to be happy.
You deserve a chance at love.
You You would you would do that for me.
Yeah.
Well, all right then, you've convinced me.
Yes! Let's go save Gwyn? Alun? Alun.
They all died, didn't they? Yes.
And what about me? Well in a way, yes.
You perished as well.
- But I survived.
- You're very much alive.
- How? - Ah, yes.
Well, um, you see, I invented a method of time travel to save you.
To save me? - Yes.
- Why? I couldn't bear to live in a world without you in it, Alun.
I couldn't.
Anyway, it's a lot to take in, isn't it? And I can imagine how you must be feeling.
Now, I should probably leave you in peace.
I'm I'm sorry.
That was that was foolish of me to think that's what you wanted.
No, no, that's it's what I've always wanted, you know? I just, um In the river, I will find you for For for what? For you will always be you, and I will always be me.
Well, of course, I will.
Hm, who else would I be, eh? You odd, beautiful man.
I know.
Uh, what time? Wait, what time did you say again? - What, you got plans? - Sunday at 9:00, right? Ooh, eesh, hate to be this guy, but Zari and I have dinner with Uncle Arjomand Sunday at 9:00.
Okay, here's a pitch.
What about Wednesdays at 8:00? Midweek parties are the best.
What time zone? Oh, that'd be 8:00 Eastern, 7:00 Central.
Only on the Anyway, it doesn't matter.
I'll be there.
- Where are we going? - Well, where we're going I'm going to miss you all so very much.
The ship's gonna be so quiet.
Hey, well, you always got a team if you need us.
Oh, we're need to take group picture.
- Let's do it! - Group photo.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- See, technology is Alun, this is gonna blow your mind.
Pictures taken by things they call digital Now you just stand here, and it will take a picture of us all now together.
Cheese.
Okay.
So tonight we dine in Paris.
I made us dinner.
- You mean I made dinner.
- Well, yeah.
Yeah, but I set up the twinklies.
Gary, it's wonderful.
Madam.
Oh, merci.
Oh, wow.
So, for our first course, we'll be having creme de la voilalle a la Berchoux.
- What is that? - I don't know.
I asked Gideon to make something fancy and French, and voilà.
- Ooh, so talented.
- Why are you lying, Gideon? You know what it is.
- You do? - Well, yes.
Crème de volaille à la Berchoux is a creamy chicken soup with a lemon flavor named for French poet Joseph Berchoux, the man responsible for inventing the word gastronomy.
Huh.
So then why'd you why'd you lie? Well, I just didn't want to hurt your feelings, Gary, - by making you feel dumb.
- Oh, no.
Never dim your light to make me feel better.
Just don't lie.
- Alun is a robot.
- What? I went back to 1916, harvested his DNA, and printed a robot Alun.
Then I used Gwyn's diaries from the historical records - to recreate his personality.
- Why would you do that? Look, I intended to save Alun, but then I discovered that Alun's death is a fixed point.
Ava and Zari were trying to go back to save him.
They would've been killed.
It was the only thing I could do to keep the Legends and the timeline safe.
By lying to Gwyn? By lying to all of us? They can't know.
They're Legends.
They'd break time before they break his heart.
Do you hate me? What? No, no, of course not.
I just I, uh I need some time to think.
To think about what? Well, if these are the kinds of decisions you have to make I don't think I'm cut out for this.
Why is love so complicated? Because oxytocin, the hormone excreted when you feel love for another person, creates an unstable duality in the human brain of happiness and fear.
Right now, you are torn between anger at Gideon - for betraying you - Yes.
And the desire to apologize since you don't want to lose her.
Right.
Humans think they want to know everything, but when they find out, they're disappointed.
You made the right decision.
Well, I wish Gary saw it that way.
Oh, no.
You're missing the point.
No, love is complicated because people are complicated.
Learning how to love another person can be messy and painful, but in the end, if you can make it work, it's the most beautiful thing in the world.
The timeline cannot be ruled by emotions.
It must be protected by clearheaded logic.
If you do love Gideon, then for her sake, I suggest you leave.
But I don't want to choose between Gary and my job.
You're going to have to make difficult decisions every day.
What if he leaves, huh? Then you know the man he truly is.
I do love her Which is why I'm staying.
She needs someone to advocate for all the things that have nothing to do with logic like tolerance, like kindness, forgiveness, and love.
I wanna start the rest of my life with that incredible woman, and I wanna start it now! Where is she? - She's in the armory.
- The armory, okay.
Thank you.
Gideon? You and your obsession with love pose too great a risk to the timeline.
- I I'm not - Goodbye.
I'm sorry to inform you, Captain, Mr.
Green has left the Waverider.
It's for the best.
A captain and an AI.
The way it was meant to be.
What is that? Well, that is my time machine.
Oh, Gwyn, it's a divine masterpiece.
You know, when I lost you I vowed to move heaven and Earth until you were saved Which is why I have to do this.
I'm coming for you, my boy.
I'm coming.
