Guest Starring John Noble (2018)

Arthur Darvill: Rip Hunter

Quotes 

• Rip Hunter : The Bureau needs backup. Grodd's going after Barry.

  Nate Heywood : Well, that explains the time turbulence.

  Wally West : The Flash is always in trouble. It's kind of his thing.

  Rip Hunter : Not that particular Barry.

• Rip Hunter : I must say, it has been such an honor, Barack

  Barry Obama : Oh, I go by Barry.

  Sara Lance : I really like Barack.

  Barry Obama : Well, Barack is what it says on my birth certificate.

  Sara Lance : Yeah, you might want to hold on to that.

• Damien Darhk : I knew it'd be difficult to get you guys to trust me. Hmm.

  Rip Hunter : Try impossible.

  Damien Darhk : [holding up a blue gem]  Which is why I brought this gesture of good faith.

  Ray Palmer : The Water totem.

  Damien Darhk : I borrowed it from my daughter after she ripped it from Kuasa's chest. Sorry about that, by the way.

• Ray Palmer : I know Damien has done terrible things in his past which cannot be forgiven, but I... I know that he loves his daughter. We can't just kil him.

  Sara Lance : He was already dead. Killing him would be repairing an anachronism.

  Rip Hunter : Yeah, so would incarcerating him in the Bureau.

  Ava Sharpe : I agree with Rip. We need to think through this situation rationally.

  Mick Rory : Boss?

  Sara Lance : [after a moment of consideration]  Stand down.

  Damien Darhk : [Mick lowers his heat gun]  I'm glad to see you came to your senses.

  Sara Lance : [leaving]  Think this makes us straight, you're wrong.

• Rip Hunter : Everything good, Director Sharpe?

  Ava Sharpe : Peachy.

  Rip Hunter : Are we good to transport Mr. Darhk back to the Bureau?

  Sara Lance : No, Rip, we're not.

  Rip Hunter : Where are you going?

  Sara Lance : To go talk to someone who can think straight when the whole world has gone crazy.

• Damien Darhk : So, do any of these flashing screens actually do anything?

  Sara Lance : Focus, Damien. How do we capture your demon daughter?

  Rip Hunter : Uh, if we coordinate a strike between the Legends and the Time Bureau, we might be able to take her down.

  Damien Darhk : How did that work for you in Victorian London? Besides, my little angel's only gotten more powerful since.

  Rip Hunter : What if we just ask Nora nicely? I did have a bit of a connection with her in Berlin.

  [seeing Damien's look] 

  Ray Palmer : Not that kind.

• Rip Hunter : [Mick is watching "Lord of the Rings"]  Whoa, the vocal similarity to Mallus is uncanny.

  Mick Rory : Quiet!

  Sara Lance : Gideon? Who is that actor?

  Ray Palmer : And how can we get him without dealing with his agent?

• Ava Sharpe : I can't believe that worked.

  Rip Hunter : I can. Sara knows what she's doing. I may have my flaws, but I do know how to pick the best people for the job.

  Ava Sharpe : So why did you pick me?

  Rip Hunter : What? Come on. Brilliant mind, calm demeanor, incredible strength. And, unlike the Legends, you actually follow rules.

• Ava Sharpe : I know I'm a clone, Rip.

  Rip Hunter : I see.

  Ava Sharpe : So why me? Hmm? Of all the clones in 2213, why did you pick me?

  Rip Hunter : You're special.

  Ava Sharpe : So why'd you erase my memory?

  Rip Hunter : I thought it would be easier.

  Ava Sharpe : Easier? Easier for you or easier for me?

  Rip Hunter : Don't lose focus, Ava. You are too critical to this mission.

  Ava Sharpe : Well, the good news if if I die, you can just skip off to 2213 and get yourself another clone.

  [a thought strikes her] 

  Ava Sharpe : Oh, my god. I wasn't even the first one, was I?

• Rip Hunter : We both know how hard it is to find agents as talented as you. And to find one who is also replaceable is invaluable...

  Ava Sharpe : How many?

  [pressing it, wanting an answer] 

  Ava Sharpe : How many?

  Rip Hunter : You're the twelfth.

  Ava Sharpe : The twelfth? So I wasn't even your first choice? Or your second, or...

  Rip Hunter : You don't understand. You are exceptional.

  Ava Sharpe : Don't, Rip. Just don't.

• Sara Lance : Zari, please tell me that you found a loophole that allows Amaya to save her village.

  Zari Tomaz : There is no loophole. I've tried billions of variations, but this event has too many ripple effects. The village has to be destroyed. Or Mallus is freed.

  Rip Hunter : And we're all doomed.

  Sara Lance : [getting an idea]  What if we're not? We have the six totems, the only thing that Mallus is afraid of. But you can't fight what you can't see. What if the only way to kill Mallus is to let him out?

• Sara Lance : Constantine said the only reason they couldn't kill Mallus was because the Death totem betrayed them. And that's not gonna happen this time.

  Rip Hunter : How can you be so sure? I needn't remind you what happened the last time you tried to wield it.

  Damien Darhk : [entering]  She won't have to wield it. I will. The Death totem was attracted to Captain Lance because of a unique quality we both share. We were both brought back from the dead. Plus, I have a personal stake in wanting to send Mallus straight to hell. He took my little girl.

  Rip Hunter : True as that may be, there is no chance that Captain Lance would trust you with such a dangerous weapon.

  Sara Lance : [tossing the totem to him]  Death totem's all yours.

• Ava Sharpe : [Sara gives Damien the Death totem]  Sara, you can't be serious.

  Sara Lance : Ava, we don't have a choice.

  Ava Sharpe : Our only choice is to stop Amaya and stop the anachronisms. This is insanity.

  Sara Lance : Insane is what we do best, Ava.

  Ava Sharpe : I will not condone this behavior, and the Bureau certainly does not stand behind you. Rip, let's go. We have work to do.

  Rip Hunter : Remember when I told you that we would need the Legends before this was through? Perhaps it is time that we set aside the scalpel and let them be the chainsaw.

  Ava Sharpe : I will consider that your resignation.

• Wally West : Why isn't she transforming?

  Sara Lance : Rip, what gives?

  Rip Hunter : The historical record is showing that Zambesi's still destroyed.

  Ray Palmer : That doesn't make any sense. The battle's over. The good guys won.

  Sara Lance : Rip, what's going on?

  Rip Hunter : Oh, my god. The warlords don't destroy the village. The village was destroyed by... an angry gorilla.

  Damien Darhk : [everyone realizes Grodd is loose]  I had to. She's my daughter.

  Sara Lance : You released Grodd.

  Damien Darhk : I need history to run its course.
