02x06 - Outlaw Country

Time travel is real, and all of history is vulnerable to attack, which is why we must travel through time to stop the spread of these so-called time Aberrations and to erase their damage to history.

We are a team of outcasts and misfits, so please don't call us heroes.

We're Legends.


[g*nf*re]

Previously on “Legends of tomorrow”...

Thank you, Mister...

Hex.

Jonah Hex.

Temporal Aberrations cause these things called timequakes.

If there was a way of locating their epicenters, maybe we'll be able to fix the Aberrations before they happen.

Nice doing business with you, partner.

What's with bad guys and ancient amulets?

Any idea why Darhk wants this?

All I know is, it's never a good idea when your nemesis starts accessorizing.

And he's teamed up with a Speedster.

What's a Speedster?

Someone with super speed.

That's how Darhk escaped.

The energy of the Speed Force grants the Speedster Chronokinesis, temporal manipulation.

English, Professor.

It means that his running real fast, lets him time travel.

I'll be in my room.

Martin, I need you to gather everything you can on Speedsters.

And Nate's right... This amulet looks a lot like the one we recovered off the Nazis.

There's got to be a connection.

Let me guess, I'm on library duty.

We're dealing with a Speedster here.

How long we gonna keep this secret from them, Grey?

Come on, future Barry's message.

Yes, I know what you're talking about, Jefferson.

And we have been through this.

Barry implored us not to share any info...

[whimpers and gasps]

You okay?

I'm fine, it's just... Just a headache.

You would tell me if something was up, right?

'Cause if we start keeping things from each other...

I just need to rest.

Saving history can be extremely wearing on the body.

[tense music]

I'm thinking this amulet dates back to Late Antiquity and is Judeo-Christian in origin.

Great.

Is... is that great?

Well, I can't find a reference of it anywhere.

Like, none.

Historically speaking, this doesn't exist.

Well, this is right in front of us, so I'd say it does exist.

And we know that Damien Darhk and the Speedster are willing to k*ll for it.

Sounds like you got some more homework to do.

[clears throat]

What?

I-I just thought, becoming a superhero, I would spend less time in the library than my old job.

That's all.

Well, research skills are a kind of superpower.

And you can turn to steel.

You guys were in the Old West?

Yeah, town made me a Sheriff.

That's cool.

Okay. I'll do it.

I don't know how to use 'em, but I'm wearing spurs.

I drove a real-life desperado out of town.

No.

Absolutely not. Yeah, I did.

So how did you end up in the noose?

Well, I was collecting the bounty on a pissant by the name of Quentin Turnbull.

As in “Turnbull Country”?

Never heard of it.

That's because it's not supposed to exist.

This book has changed since the last time I saw it.

Check this out... Gideon.

Right away.

That's a map of the United States from 1876.

All right, who is Turnbull?

Two-bit, yellow-bellied cattle rustler.

Who controls all of the land west of the Rocky Mountains.

Looks like we found our Aberration.

Am I supposed to have the faintest idea what the hell this means?

It's means that we need to stop Turnbull from taking over the West.

Looks like you got yourself a posse, partner.

♪ ♪

Where is everybody?

Ever since Turnbull set up shop 'bout six months ago, everyone's been run out of town or made to work in the mine.

Mine? What kind of mine?

Gold?

Hell if I know.

Nobody's been mining for gold through these parts for half a century.

Listen to me, "these parts"... I sound like I'm a cowboy.

Well, he's pulling something out of the ground that's making him rich... Turnbull also owns the saloon.

The hotel, the laundry... and the whorehouse.

The answer's no, Mick.

Turnbull's got an office above the saloon.

It's also got about a dozen men making sure nobody gets close to him.

I think I know how we can.

Mick.

Why don't you mosey on in there?

Have yourself a good time.

If you insist.

I'm not sure I understand your plan.

You just set a match to a powder keg.

And if Turnbull doesn't want his saloon to burn down, then he's gonna have to come out of his office and deal with it.

Better yet, get your boy to get in a fight with Turnbull and bring him out here on the street.

Amaya, your job is to make sure Rory keeps his p*stol in his pants until he's outside the saloon.

Clearly, I drew the short straw.

So what you want us to do?

Reckon I can post up nearby with a long g*n.

Are you chewing tobacco?

Mm, Tootsie Roll.

Get rid of your hats and your g*ns.

What? I thought we were supposed to be some badass cowboys?

You guys want to know how Turnbull went from being a cattle rustler to running his own country?

I'm gonna need you to infiltrate his base of operations.

As what?

[bell tolls]

Y'all are tax collectors?

We're here to go over your books and make sure everything's in order.

And we're in a bit of a hurry, so, uh...

Yes, we're on the next train back to Washington D.C.

Well, there ain't no train to Washington.

Pass won't be open till spring.

I've been after Turnbull for eight years now.

I almost got him twice.

He wants to see me pushing up daisies just as bad as I want to see him do the same.

Because why?

Little town in Oklahoma.

Goes by the name of Calvert.

Turnbull and his men were harassing it.

And they hired me to fight back.

Calvert, that's the town that Rip left in the lurch.

My little rebellion made other towns think they didn't need to pay protection money to Turnbull and his g*ng.

So one night...

Turnbull gathered every man, woman, and child in Calvert.

Locked us in the church.

Set it on fire.

Somehow, I escaped.

The good Lord saw fit to leave me with a souvenir.

Oh, what the hell am I telling a woman this for?

You'd never understand.

Wrong.

I've got a Turnbull.

Some superhero.

Maybe I am better suited for the library.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

You had no idea that Turnbull laced the b*ll*ts with dwarf star, or that you were even vulnerable to it.

When I was a kid, there was this bully, Shane Blocklin.

And one day, I decided, "I'm gonna stand up to old Shane".

Long story short, he breaks my nose in two places.

But from that point on, I was, uh...

I was different.

I was afraid.

And then I meet you guys, and I get these superpowers.

And I said to myself, "Nate, you don't have to feel afraid again".

Well, maybe now you know how I felt after you destroyed my ATOM suit.

When we were out fighting with the Shogun, without my suit, I was afraid.

Well, you hid it well.

That's because I realized that weakness, or not being invulnerable, is what makes me a hero.

There's no bravery without fear.

That was a really good inspirational speech.

Really?

Yeah.

Well, I have a few other aphorisms in my back pocket.

Like, uh...

"courage is the mastery of fear, not the absence of fear."

"Strength is..."

You know what, buddy?

You nailed it.

Sorry, got a little carried away with my train of...

That's it.

I think I know how Turnbull's gonna make his own country.

When I saw how much dwarf star ore he had in that mine, I started to wonder, how could he transport such a heavy shipment?

He'd have to use...

The railroad.

The railroad.

Okay, get to the part where we care, Ray.

I think he's gonna use the railroad and the dwarf star to... wait for it.

I don't want to wait for it.

Close Summit Pass.

Oh, my God, Ray's right.

Thank you.

Summit Pass connects East/West via railroad.

Not if Turnbull uses this... the magic...

Dwarf star?

Yeah, to blow the thing up.

Well, if he destroys the pass, there's no way of transporting soldiers and supplies from the East coast.

The U.S. Army is effectively locked out of the West.

So it's simple... We just stop Turnbull from blowing up the pass.

Yeah, simple.

You don't have a suit, you just had invasive surgery, Stein's out of commission.

We'll think of something.

"Courage is the mastery of fear, not the absence of it".

Yeah, what about Turnbull?

If that train goes boom... he's not gonna be on it.

I overheard one of his people saying Turnbull just called for a meeting at his mine.

You, Jax, and Ray, stop the train.

The rest of us, we'll deal with Turnbull.

You sure about this?

Of course.

This isn't my first rodeo.

So now that you have your man, what're you gonna do with him?

Turnbull?

If I had my way, he'd be in for a long, painful demise.

[chuckles]

I'd let him bleed out from the gut.

♪ ♪

But I'm gonna turn him over to the authorities.

So you don't have to worry about your "Aberration."

Only territory Turnbull's gonna be claiming is a cold, dark prison cell.

Then our work here is done.

You do a mighty fine job bearing a burden few men could deal with.

Good thing I'm a woman then.

Yes, ma'am.

I best get Turnbull.

Collect my bounty.

Now, you try to stay out of trouble.

Not likely.

Wouldn't imagine so.

It really is beautiful.

It's no wonder that human beings have worshipped fire for millennia.

Fire gives us life, but also has the power to destroy everything in its path.

Your point?

Or are you gonna keep talking in metaphors?

Yeah, I know what a metaphor is.

But don't tell them.

You were right.

The animal who wants to watch the world burn... that is who you are.

But it's not all that you are.

Your point?

Don't deny the animal.

But don't let it control you either.

I can help you.

Believe me, I know a thing or two about controlling wild beasts.

Oh, there you are.

So I've been thinking about your memory flashes.

"Manopause" moments, or whatever it is you want to call 'em.

I got a theory.

What if when you interacted with your younger self in 1987, you...

Inadvertently changed my past so... so that my memories from my new life are supplanting the memories from my old life, thus creating temporal dissonance.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking.

Oh, it's a brilliant theory, which I happen to share with you, but it doesn't explain...

Or... that I'm fairly certain I love her.

Man, Clarissa is gonna k*ll you when you get home.

Assuming there even is a Clarissa to go home to.

Huh.

Hey, heard you were looking for me.

Oh, yeah, uh, I just wanted to thank you for saving all that dwarf star ore.

I have enough to power 20 ATOM suits now.

That's cool, man, so we all get one?

Uh, actually, there's something I've been working on before I start building a new exo-suit.

It's, uh, not exactly what was in your drawing.

I made a few improvements.

[exciting music]

Shut the front door.

Yeah. I figure you earned it.

Steel.

Cool name.

Hey, are you guys done bro-ing out?

Uh, well, not really, but...

Good.
