Zari. Look, I don't want to fight. But we gotta go, we can't stay here, it's not safe.
I don't understand. They're not here. Nobody's here. They were supposed to meet me here, this was supposed to be our janna.
Means "sanctuary" in Arabic. [gets up with her totem in hand] My brother had powers because he wielded this. He fought against A.R.G.U.S.'s injustices, so he was hunted. We all were. The night we were leaving, A.R.G.U.S. raided our house, killed my brother, and took the only part that's left of him.
And that's how you got caught. Trying to steal it the first time.
Yeah, I couldn't let A.R.G.U.S. keep it. With my brother gone, I needed its power to help me protect my parents.
Where? Can't you see there's nowhere left to go? This was our last hope.
I think we can safely say our Time Bureau problem is... Oh, bollocks. Perhaps I spoke too soon.
Incoming transmission from Agent Sharpe.
[sighs] Put her on. [transmission turns on] Oh, hey, Ava. How was your day?
You do realize that little stunt you pulled could have destroyed us both.
You tried to kill us first.
No, I tried to warn you first. But you don't take warnings, do you?
Now you're starting to get it.
Well, this isn't a warning, it's a promise. If I ever track you down again, you and your band of idiots will be exiled to the Dawn of Time. Whatever leniency Hunter gave you is over. [ends transmission]
You took the words right out of my mouth, Gideon.
What makes a hero? Is it powers? Strength? Bravery? No. A hero is forged by his or her relationships, our bonds of brotherhood or sisterhood. That is why I'm taking you all through the ten-step team-building process I perfected at Palmer Tech. Step 1, part 1: icebreakers.
Dude, we've been stuck on a ship that has one bathroom. I think we know each other well enough.
And your timing couldn't be worse, given that we're being chased by a water-wielding assassin and the Time Bureau.
We need to grow as a team. First up is "Two Truths and a Lie". [Sara shakes her head] It's gonna be fun.
I haven't started yet. Look, I know you guys probably think this is lame–
But we have a new crew member, and it is important for Zari to bond with us. Not only as team members, but as individuals.
Yeah, well, I'm no hero and I'm not a member of any team. Besides, I already have you all figured out. The old guy wants to be anywhere but on this ship. [Walks by Amaya and Nate] These two have some "will they, won't they" thing going on. [Nate nods]. Rory's been drunk since breakfast. [Mick tips his beer at her] Jax is wondering if I'm single. And your ship's still mad at me for doing a teeny hack on her sub-systems. Now, what's this about one bathroom?
[Most everyone else starts denying what she said, talking all at once.]
[enthusiastic] Can't wait to show you guys my home. First, we have to go to Pizza Master. Best slice in town. Then we have to go to Video Village. I can tell you how much of my allowance I spent there–
So, you're always this positive. Even when you're dead. How can you pretend like everything's okay?
I..I'm not pretending, I believe it. I found that if I can trust in myself, I can believe everything's okay. And it usually is. It's called "positive thinking". Give it a shot.
[to Jax] Is he for real? [Jax grimaces and nods.]
[Ray and Zari open the closet to find the baby Dominator]
Leave it to young you to see the best in that thing. Though you were pretty lonely.
What? I wasn't lonely! I was just choosing to focus on my studies. This is probably just my scientific curiosity getting the better of me, again.
[Microwave beeps]
[off-screen] Popcorn's ready!
Aren't you supposed to be in school?
No. Yesterday, I was shoplifting. Today I'm a truant. This thing is turning me into Rory.
[Stein enters the jump-ship]
Going somewhere, Professor?
I don't have time to explain. I'm taking the jump-ship, whether you like it or not.
[Mick rips out part of the jump-ship's controls]
Yo, Mick. Come on, man, I just souped this baby up.
Jefferson, please, I need you to help me get out of 1988.
Help you? After you've been lying to me? You've been sneaking out on us, you erased the jump logs. You're working with the Time Bureau!
What's in your back pocket, Professor?
It's a trans-temporal communicator.
So you can talk to your little Time Bureau friends.
No, so I can talk to my– [the communicator beeps and Lily's face comes on it]
LLily
[realises Jax and Mick are in the room] Oh, and all you guys.
LLily
Dad, I think it's time. We're heading to the hospital now. You're gonna be here, right?
How can I miss the birth of my first grandchild?
LLily
Good, 'cause... this baby's coming. Okay, I will see you there. Bye, Dad. [disconnects]
I took the jump-ship back to 2017 so I could give Lily the other communicator.
And you wiped the jump logs. Why?
Because I wanted you to know that I'm committed to you, and to the team! I made the decision to stay, and I needed you to know that I meant it. Clearly, my subterfuge has robbed me of the chance to be at the birth of my grandchild.
No! We can take the Waverider.
What about the rest of the team?
Gray! It's your first grandkid! Why would you think I'd want you to miss that? C'mon, man, let's go!
[holding his grandchild] I'm so glad I could be here to welcome you into this world. I'm sure it's overwhelming, and I'm sorry to say it doesn't really ever go away. But this place, it's also full of wonders. Wonders that I'm discovering even now. [Jax walks up] Hey.
You know, I'm sorry, man. You almost missed this because of me, because I didn't trust you on–
No, I should've been... I should've been honest with you from the beginning. You're as much a part of this family as Lily and Clarissa, and now this little guy, Ronnie. It's perfect that you're here with us, right now.
You sure you want do this? Break up Firestorm?
Well, I'm sure Gray wants off the ship, and I'm sure that can't happen if we're still bonded with each other, so...
Yeah, but your bond isn't just physical. You guys have been psychically bonded for over three years.
Yeah, and it's been no picnic, let me tell you. Last time I got laid, afterward Gray said to me: "Well done, Jefferson". I mean...
I could've done without knowing that.
Captain Lance, need I remind you we are no longer just fixing ordinary anachronisms here? Mallus is the only game that matters.
No, it's your game. We have to stop Damien Darhk from coming back to life.
And we will. But from all indications, Mallus is coming here to recruit Darhk. If we destroy Darhk's body, we destroy any chance of apprehending Mallus at the resurrection ceremony.
If Sara says kill Darhk, or re-kill Darhk, or prop him up in a convertible like Weekend at Bernie's, that's what we do, because she's the captain.
I know you all want to destroy Darhk once and for all. You're just gonna have to be patient.
I'm concerned about you. I know that you think that woman channeled your brother.
His name was Behrad. The night A.R.G.U.S. came for us, I ran. I knew he was staying to fight, but I was scared. I left my brother there to die. You happy? Now you know my secret.
[removes her amulet] Yeah, I don't want this anymore, whatever's going on with it or with us, I... I don't care.
That totem is your only remaining connection to him.
It's not a connection. It's a reminder... that I should've been the one who died.
Your so-called master, where is he?
MEMadame Eleanor
Mallus is everywhere and nowhere, refracted in every moment of time. He is dead, he is risen, and he will come again.
Right, well, that's very cryptic, but I demand to speak to him.
EEleanor
Oh, well, very well. [gets possessed by Mallus].
MMallus
[via Eleanor] Director Hunter. A pleasure to meet you.
Oh, I'm not here to speak to your puppet. I think it's about time you and I met face-to-face.
MMallus
[via Eleanor] [laughs] You cannot look upon my true form and live. While you are hopelessly mortal, I am a god!
[The blood moon resurrects Darhk and Mallus leaves Eleanor's body]
EEleanor
You're too late.
It's good to be back. [looks at his wrist] Who stole my watch?
By now, you know me better than to expect an apology.
Agents are dead because of you.
They understood the risks of their profession. [pause as they look at each other] But we learned so much from the events of last night. Next time–
There won't be a next time, Rip. You show up out of nowhere, practically begging for our help, and then you betray us. You've gone rogue from every organization that you've ever been a part of. Because you don't trust anyone. And I don't know how I could've ever trusted you.
But Sara, I need you with me now more than ever.
Do you remember when you told me you had nothing left to teach me? I guess you had one final lesson. [Time Bureau agents enter the Waverider through a portal] How to be a cold son-of-a-bitch.
[coming out of the library] Oh, hey, Sara. Sara. I've been searching for more outliers in hopes of finding Darhk and his witchy friend. [to the ceiling] You'd think having a super-computer would be helpful!
Watch yourself, Mr. Heywood.
Anyways, there's no sign of them in the timeline.
[Sara sniffs the air, then turns to Nate]
Okay, full disclosure: I haven't left the library in seven days. I think. Is it Tuesday? I'm not really sure. It's hard to really keep track of time in a temporal zone.
Okay. I'll shower after I find Darhk. I know how much it means to you to find him.
Look, we're gonna put Darhk back in the ground where he belongs, but not like this.
Not like Rip. He lost perspective and he got his team killed. I'm not gonna be that kind of captain. But I am the kind of captain that tells you to clean yourself up. Okay?
[inside Jax's body] Yes. Pray tell, Doctor Palmer, what exactly happened to us, because it seems we are in a particularly precarious situation that I, for one, have no idea how to remedy.
[inside Stein's body] Why don't we just merge?
[inside Jax] Out of the question! Absolutely not. We have switched bodies. Who knows what else may have shifted. Merging now could cause a meltdown of insurmountable proportions. We just... we just can't afford the risk.
[Nate laughs hysterically, partly due to lack of sleep.]
[still amused, pointing to Jax] You're the Professor, [points to Stein] and you're Jax. [starts laughing again] They switched.
[to herself] Must be Tuesday.
[Amaya and Zari enter the room.]
Oh, we seem to have a bit of a Freaky Friday situation
[inside Jax] And I'm Martin.
I thought the Helen of Troy story was just a myth.
Well, we found that myths tend to have some truth about them. This one more than most.
Helen and her lover Paris set off a ten-year war that launched thousands of ships and set tens of thousands of men off to their death. All in the name of her beauty.
You make it sound like it's her fault. Men always find a reason to fight. That's not on her.
[turning away from everyone else] I mean, she's all right. [mouthing whisper to Mick] She's really hot.
