- Ava Sharpe: Okay, big smiles everyone. And nobody mention Oliver Queen.
- Mona Wu: Why?
- Ava Sharpe: Because he died.
- Nate Heywood: Shouldn't have done the crossover.
- Ava Sharpe: Umm-oh, Mick, why don't you tell us all what you do on the ship, huh?
- Mick Rory: I steal stuff. Get out of my way, you punks.
- Ava Sharpe: Uh, Ray! Who else saved the multiverse?
- Ray Palmer: Oh, uh, well The Flash, Supergirl, Batwoman.
- Ava Sharpe: Cool.
- Ray Palmer: Yeah.
- Nate Heywood: What, no Superman? Couldn't have been that big of a deal.
- Ray Palmer: Oh, no, no, Superman was there. He's very handsome.
- Sara Lance: So you guys decided to go off on your own and face Rasputin.
- Nate Heywood: I thought I could calm him down.
- Mona Wu: I thought I could make him fall in love?
- Ava Sharpe: And I thought I could, you know, assassinate him.
- Sara Lance: None that was ever going to happen. He's fresh out of Hell.
- Mick Rory: Well, let's kill him then.
- Sara Lance: You - you can't. Look, John said he can't be killed with a chit of his soul is in Hell, or whatever that means.
- Sara Lance: What is going on?
- Ava Sharpe: Before you object, let me explain. The only way that I could stop Senator Wellington from cutting off our funding was to be clear about process. Get it?
- Sara Lance: So you're shooting a documentary about the Legends?
- Ava Sharpe: Not me, per se.
- Kevin Harris: Hi, Captain Lance, huge fan. Uh, I'm the director, Kevin Harris. You can call me Kev. Just carry on, do what you're doing, we're not even here.
- Ava Sharpe: That's Kev. He's got it under control.
- Sara Lance: And what if I wanna talk about something on private?
- Ava Sharpe: It's not a problem, that's what the confessional interviews are for.
- Sara Lance: Oh. Okay, so I can - I can just say it to the camera.
- Ava Sharpe: Sure.
- Sara Lance: My girlfriend, she's lost her mind.
- Ray Palmer: Look, Sara, we're really sorry. We thought we could make things easier for you by taking this off your plate.
- Sara Lance: And risking your own necks. Look, I already have one dead friend on my plate. I'm good there. And you know, none of you self-absorbed mega stars even bothered to ask me how I was doing.
- Ava Sharpe: Look, Sara, I told them not to mention Oliver, okay? I thought you wouldn't want to be reminded.
- Sara Lance: Reminded? What, did you think that I could just forget that my friend died?
- Ava Sharpe: No, I - look, I know things have been crazy around here.
- Sara Lance: Crazy around here? You still have no idea what I saw out there.
- Nate Heywood: What did happen?
- Sara Lance: Countless Earths died. I became a paragon and traveled back to the big bang. We restarted the universe and now no one even remembers what we've changed.
- Ava Sharpe: That's a lot to process.
- Sara Lance: Yeah, I know. So you could see why I would wanna talk to my friends about it. And instead I get cameras in my face.
- Sara Lance: John. Wha-what are you doing here?
- John Constantine: Oh, I heard your, uh, movie premiere was in town tonight, so I thought I'd pop in.
- Sara Lance: Well, just make yourself at home, then.
- Ava Sharpe: Why can't he ever just be normal?
- Nate Heywood: This is for the best, right? Maybe, maybe not? I don't know. I feel like I'm supposed to say that.
- Behrad Tarazi: We're better off. Fame messes with people.
- Ava Sharpe: Still have that money problem.
- Sara Lance: Oh, I almost forgot. Mick?
- Mick Rory: [growling, he takes something out of his pocket] I steal things.
- Mona Wu: Whoa. Is that a Faberge egg?
- Sara Lance: Mm-hmm.
- Mona Wu: What's that worth?
- Mick Rory: 50 million.
- [Ava gasps in surprise and drops it, but Sara catches it]
- Sara Lance: Whoa, be careful with that, babes.
- Mick Rory: Listen, um, I'm giving up the writing. It's getting in the way of my thievery. So I'm handing the Rebecca Silver novels over to you. Someone deserving.
- Mona Wu: Me? This is... this... this is so much. Are... are you sure?
- Mick Rory: Yes, I'm sure. It's why I'm saying it. There's a novelist inside you.
- Mona Wu: There's more inside of me than just Wolfie?
- Mick Rory: Yes, that's right.
- Mona Wu: Well, it was great living with you on the Waverider.
- Mick Rory: What?
- Mona Wu: [collecting her things] Yeah. I-I can't stay here to write. I... I need to be free. I need to fall in love and... and break hearts. I can't do Rebecca Silver justice here.
- Mick Rory: B-B-But I...
- Mona Wu: But you tried writing on the ship and ran out of ideas? I mean, frankly, Mick, your latest novel, "Carjacked", it... sucked. But don't worry, Rebecca Silver is about to have her comeback. You'll see.
- [moving to leave, then returning to give him a hug]
- Mona Wu: You were my favorite.
- Gideon: I have encountered a glitch during the Heyworld event.
- Nate Heywood: Show me.
- [Gideon shows him the footage, with Zari's image replacing Behrad's; the power goes down, and a hologram appears behind him]
- Zari Tomaz: Nate. If you're seeing this, we altered my future at Heyworld. I don't know where I'll be or who I'll be, but... I know that I love you. Find me.
- [the message ends, and the power returns]
- Nate Heywood: Gideon. Gideon, who was that? Play it again.
- Gideon: Memory scrub complete.
- Kevin Harris: So, uh, how does your girlfriend feel about the documentary being made?
- Ava Sharpe: Actually, I-I haven't, uh, told Sara about the... the-the documentary yet. I just think it was a little awkward over the phone. It's... it's better to, you know, spring it on her when she gets back from the big mission.
- Masher: John, wait!
- John Constantine: Masher? Masher, is that you possessing the lad?
- Masher: Glad to see you escaped Hell.
- John Constantine: Yeah, well, I could say the same about you, mate.
- Masher: Demon's gotta have his fun.
- John Constantine: Yeah, well, I could murder a pint right about now. Fancy a drink?
- Masher: You're buying.
- John Constantine: You've got it. Let's go.
- Gary Green: Uh, excuse me, greatest of warlocks, but what about Edgar's mother?
- John Constantine: Good thinking, G-man. We'll take the fire escape.
- Kevin Harris: The wonder of time travel is allowing our cameras to capture some of the first color images of imperial Russia as we ride along on the Legends' patented party sneak.
- Behrad Tarazi: Turns out it's more of a fun funeral sneak.
- Sara Lance: Who died?
- Nate Heywood: Grigori Rasputin, AKA the Mad Monk. Equal parts mystic advisor and manipulative hornball.
- Ray Palmer: Rasputin was notoriously hard to kill. It took cyanide, a gun, and drowning before he stayed dead.
- [as the coffin lid is secured, mourners scream as it flies off and Rasputin sits up]
- Behrad Tarazi: Um, guys, we sure he stayed dead?
- Sara Lance: Gideon, what's the point of origin?
- Gideon: It appears my Jonah Hex has beebo Lala loves you.
- Behrad Tarazi: Gideon may have a virus.
- Mona Wu: Doesn't she make everything work?
- Ava Sharpe: We are perfectly safe.
- Nate Heywood: [running in] Guys, that was a class-five timequake. That is is so dangerous.
- Gary Green: [investigating a child's demonic possession] What's wrong with him?
- John Constantine: His PJs, for starters. Do people really wear matching pajama sets?
- Gary Green: Yes.
- Kevin Harris: I'm Kevin Harris, and my documentary film crew is the first ever to be granted unfettered access to their lives and their ship, the Waverider. So strap in, because today, we meet the Legends.
- Ray Palmer: I've triangulated the timequake to 1917, St. Petersburg, Russia. Let's go and shrink the problem.
- Nate Heywood: [Sara grimaces] Not good.
- Ray Palmer: I'm developing a catchphrase?
- Gideon: Executing time jump now.
- Sara Lance: No! Gideon, we're not taking a film crew to...
- [watching the transition through time]
- Sara Lance: ...Imperial Russia. Yeah. Great. This is great, Ray.
- Nate Heywood: All right, Legends, put on your babushkas because we are rushing into Russia.
- Sara Lance: And now you're copying my thing.
- Nate Heywood: Totally. I just got really excited.
- Ray Palmer: Hi, I'm, uh, Ray Palmer, the Atom. This documentary is an exciting opportunity for me to improve my image. A lot of people still confuse me for the demon who possessed me and opened up the gates of Hell. His name was Neron, and he is no longer with me or inside me, or um... I really wish that you could meet my girlfriend, Nora. Uh, but she works out of town a lot, internationally. She's got a lot of global clients, kids mostly. She is a fairy godmother.
- Behrad Tarazi: How you doing with Oliver and everything?
- Sara Lance: I'm fine.
- Behrad Tarazi: No worries. We don't have to talk about it. But I made you something.
- Sara Lance: Oh, please don't be a condolence card, 'cause those are always super awkward.
- [Ava appears unnoticed with a condolence card]
- Behrad Tarazi: Nah, hopefully something better.
- [as Ava leaves, Sara sees what Behrad drew]
- Behrad Tarazi: It's you, Ollie, and Laurel.
- Sara Lance: B, this is actually... it's really sweet. Thank you.
- Ava Sharpe: After Congress shut down the Time Bureau, Sara went off to help Oliver Queen, and, uh, I had to fight to keep the Waverider from being impounded. Bad luck that the senator chairing the committee was the same person we almost killed last year.
- [footage of her testifying]
- Ava Sharpe: Senator Wellington, I know the Time Bureau may have been compromised, but you must allow the Waverider to continue patrolling the timeline.
- Senator Wellington: Ms. Sharpe, how do we know these so-called Legends can be trusted with time travel? Well, there's simply no transparency.
- [return to the Waverider]
- Ava Sharpe: Which is why you all are here. Right? To show everyone what we do. What could go wrong?
- Nate Heywood: For two full minutes, I was not alive. That changes you, man. Don't get me wrong, I-I love fame. No one says no to you about anything. Hey, man, that's a cool hat. Can I have it?
- [the hat is thrown to him]
- Nate Heywood: But still, something doesn't feel right.
- Behrad Tarazi: Hi, I'm Behrad Tarazi. I guess you probably think I'm some kind of awesome future man, since I'm from 2044. My literal birthday was yesterday, which is pretty wild, man.
- [flash back to him visiting the hospital]
- Behrad Tarazi: That's me. Hey, baby Behrad, be easy and go with the flow, like Wu-Tang Clan and Bruce Lee.
- Nate Heywood: What if more baddies start coming back, like, throughout history?
- Ray Palmer: If they do, we can call them evil do-overs.
- Ray Palmer: Villa-agains.
- Mona Wu: I like "encores".
- Gary Green: Hi, I'm, uh, Gary Green. Um, if I had to sum myself up in two words, they would be, uh, fully forgiven. A lot of things happened last year that you could misconstrue as, uh, potentially, maybe being my fault. But thankfully, everyone agrees that at worst, I was just a hapless rube who got manipulated by the forces of Hell to betray humanity. Uh, I had a fairy godmother named Nora, but, uh, we separated amicably after she granted me my heart's deepest wish.
- John Constantine: [taking his coffee cup] Gary, what the hell are you doing? Come on, we got bigger fish to fry.
- Gary Green: Nora made me Constantine's apprentice.
- John Constantine: Gary!
- Ava Sharpe: My condolence card wasn't awkward. "Dear Sara, I'm sorry the vigilante you slept with when he was already dating your sister died. Some say it's better to have loved and lost, but I hope you never loved him at all."
- Sara Lance: Rasputin came back from the dead, and it caused a timequake. Ugh, this is kind of problem that I can wrap my head around. So I need you guys to forget about this documentary film crew and focus on the mission at hand, yes?
- Ray Palmer: Yes, we need to minimize the mishap.
- Ava Sharpe: Ooh, Ray, that's good. Because saving the day is what the Legends do best.
- Nate Heywood: Ava, you're in my shot.
- Charlie: I mean, now that we're no longer D-list superheroes, we can just go where we want, do as we please. Why have I stuck around? Tell you the truth, I have no bloody clue. I am bored as a post. Ain't I? Gids, I'm nicking the jumpship, all right?
- Kevin Harris: The Waverider was surprisingly quiet, because half the team was away on a mission.
- Nate Heywood: Oh, the crossover. Yeah, had to take a rain check. See, when you are a superhero/amusement park impresario/historian that rises from the dead, your dance card tends to get pretty full.
- Sara Lance: Is everybody just trying to get on my nerves today? Camera crew shows up and, what, nobody can act like themselves?
- Behrad Tarazi: Spotlight does weird things to people. But, hey, you know I'll always be my true self.
- Sara Lance: Oh, yeah? Your true self? Don't your parents think you're in business school?
- Behrad Tarazi: I am a tangled web.
- Ava Sharpe: Sara and I aren't the type to give each other cards, anyway. I'd rather do something for her. You know, like, fix this Rasputin situation and get the Legends the heck out of Russia before they screw something up.
- [realizing what she just said]
- Ava Sharpe: You... uh, you can cut the last part of that out, right?
- Mona Wu: Apparently, when Rasputin cured the Czarina's only son, the two fell madly in love. I think if Rasputin realized how much the Czarina loved him, he would wanna settle down with her, lead the kind of quiet life that doesn't disturb history. Maybe Rebecca Silver's next series could be called "Russian Nights."
- Nate Heywood: So, the St. Petersburg elite hated Rasputin's influence over the Czarina. So the Czar's own nephew, a prince by the name of Yusupov, he spearheaded the assassination. Ray, what if old Grigori came back...
- Ray Palmer, Nate Heywood: To settle the score?
- [gearing up]
- Nate Heywood: We need to stop Rasputin from killing Yusupov.
- Mona Wu: [writing and sealing a love letter] I'm going to deliver a love letter to Rasputin.
- Ava Sharpe: [assembling and loading a sniper rifle] I'm gonna kill Rasputin. You in?
- Mick Rory: Yep.
- Grigori Rasputin: Grigori Rasputin. Monk, mystic; it is hard coming back to life. I think, what will make me happy? So I kill the man who killed me. But am I happy? Eh.
- Nate Heywood: I'll give you Yusupov. He had it coming.
- Kevin Harris: As Nate's party was about to get started, Constantine's was coming to an end.
- Giant Bouncer: [throwing Constantine and Edgar out] It's not right bringing a kid in here!
- John Constantine: Oh, piss off, you puritan twit!
- John Constantine: I've got to ask, Masher. Has she done it?
- Masher: I don't know what you're talking about, John.
- John Constantine: Don't be coy with me. Has Astra released the worst souls from Hell onto Earth?
- Masher: What can I say? The girl's all grown up and making money moves. The question is, what are you gonna do?
- John Constantine: Well, I don't need to do anything about it, all right? My life is settled right now. I'm not gonna stir up a hornet's nest of trouble because Astra Logue wants to break the glass ceiling in Hell.
- Masher: Is that so?
- John Constantine: You smug git.
- [putting his bottle of booze down]
- John Constantine: Right, then. Sorry about this.
- Masher: Ah, no, at least let me have a swig.
- [Constantine begins chanting in Latin]
- Masher: You're a bastard, John!
- Nate Heywood: [being hypnotized] I see a woman in the shadows.
- Grigori Rasputin: Walk to her.
- Nate Heywood: She's beautiful. Silky raven hair. Eyes you could stare into forever. And she's stuffing her face with donuts.
- Sara Lance: And what if we've already run into one of these encores? How do we kill it?
- John Constantine: You can't, not with a chit of their souls still in Hell.
- Gary Green: Where's Ava? Tell her I said hi.
- Ava Sharpe: Mission's blown. We need to retreat.
- Mick Rory: I'm not done with you, you rat!
- The Atom: [unaware that she is] Good thing Sara's not watching this.
- Ava Sharpe: Okay, so clearly, we shouldn't have avoided asking Sara about Oliver, but in my defense, I was desperately afraid I was gonna say the wrong thing, you know? I don't know what she needs, and everything I try, it seems to make it worse.
- Sara Lance: Okay, hold on, Behrad. So you're saying Gideon's glitching because we fractured time?
- Behrad Tarazi: Look, at least we didn't break time. We just sort of dinged it up.
- Nate Heywood: Rasputin and I are two wandering souls who got a second chance at life. He shouldn't waste his encore on revenge. Damn it!
- The Atom: What?
- Nate Heywood: Mona was right. "Encore" feels better.
- The Atom: It does. Plus, with my new Atom cam, everybody can watch us fixing history without any bloodshed.
- [with an accompanying scream, a body lands right in front of Nate]
- Nate Heywood: [seeing the broken window from which he was presumably thrown] And Yusupov is dead. New plan.
- Nate Heywood: Yeah, of course I'm bummed that we let Sara down, but I am glad I got to meet Rasputin. Little help?
- [Behrad uses his powers to push his inversion table upright]
- Nate Heywood: I mean, the guy got in my head and laid a bomb.
- Behrad Tarazi: He freaked your bean, huh?
- Nate Heywood: Oh, yeah. He also told me about the mystery woman that I was in love with before I died. I know it sounds crazy, but it just... it feels right.
- Behrad Tarazi: Sounds like you got some soul-searching to do. Wanna watch "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" again?
- Nate Heywood: [moving in a dance-ish way] No, my groove feels fine. Do you think I have either split memory or partial amnesia?
- Behrad Tarazi: That's like what's happening with Gideon. Her memory is processing what I thought was phantom data, but maybe it's real data from a different timeline. Either you're a computer who caught the same virus as Gideon...
- Nate Heywood: Or when we fixed Heyworld, we changed the timeline. Damn, we deducted the hell out of that.
- Ava Sharpe: [cleaning in the galley] "Agent Sharpe lacks a delicate touch and is extremely deficient at relating to people." That is straight from my Time Bureau personnel review. Pretty harsh. I wrote that review.
- Grigori Rasputin: You know, your aura is quite strong.
- Nate Heywood: I get that a lot. I rotate hair products.
- Grigori Rasputin: Like me, you too have experienced the miracle. God brought you back to life. But there's something missing. I sense a hole in your heart.
- [seeing him react]
- Grigori Rasputin: There, right there. You once loved someone, but you have forgotten. Allow me to hypnotize you, and I will help you recover everything you have lost.
- Ava Sharpe: [on comms] Don't even think about it, Nate.
- Nate Heywood: Thank you, Rasputin, but I'm gonna have to say yes, 100%, let's do this.
- Nate Heywood: Grigori! Razzmatazz. Do, uh, people call you Griggy? There's just been a... a slight misunderstanding. Um, your monk friends here think I'm here to kill you, uh, when really I just would like to chat.
- [Rasputin nonverbally points at Kevin and his crew]
- Nate Heywood: Oh, this? This is, uh, my camera crew. We're producing a news reel about your startling return. After all, you're not a big deal until you're a big deal on camera.
- Nate Heywood: I remember her, Ray.
- The Atom: Who?
- Nate Heywood: I... I don't know her name, but she was on the ship with us.
- Sara Lance: You want my confessional? All right, come here, I'll give one to you. I confess that I hate this doc. I confess that I don't want to be a celebrity. And I confess that if you don't get that camera out of my face...
- Behrad Tarazi: [entering] Captain. I think Gideon is suffering from phantom data.
- [glancing at the camera]
- Behrad Tarazi: Do you want me to come back later?
- Sara Lance: No, you should stay. Stay with me, hang out. Let's get lit.
- Behrad Tarazi: Questionable timing, but should I get my stash box?
- Sara Lance: Yes, you should.
- John Constantine: Sara, what's with the connection?
- Sara Lance: Gideon has a bug and we're trying to get buzzed. What do you want?
- John Constantine: Well, listen up, all right? Some of the most evil souls in all of history have been raised from Hell.
- Gary Green: Did you hear him? He said "Hell."
- John Constantine: [pushing him away] Get... get out.
