? Has me feelin' so low ?
? I think I could have loved her ?
? In this world or another ?
? But now I'm stuck ?
? Lookin' up from below ?
? Space girl ?
? Floating away ?
? Space girl ?
What are you doing here?
How are you even alive?
What a fantastically boring question.
Kayla downloaded me from the Cloud onto your printer.
A better question would be why.
Why shouldn't I just slit your throat
and watch you bleed out on my carpet?
Because...
then you wouldn't have any more of your questions answered.
Until you print yourself out again?
Alas, you're looking at the last-gen me.
My data was corrupted when a certain someone blew up my lab
before my upload was complete, but that's cool.
I forgive you.
You kidnapped me.
You manipulated me in every possible way.
True, true. But I also saved you.
No, no. Not looking to make this about me.
You see, I've changed.
You've changed?
And why should I believe you?
Let me prove it to you.
C'mon.
What do you say, Sara Lance?
Is there room for one more mixed-up outcast
on this ? zany little ship of yours? ?
Actually, I think we have a room
that would suit you perfectly.
That's Bishop?
Not at all what I was expecting.
For a psychotic super villain,
the guy's got a great look.
Yeah, they always do.
So, shall we start with the introductions?
You are of course, Ava.
Not just any Ava. The Ava.
Congratulations, by the way.
Your engagement ring.
So, do you two kids have a date yet or...
All right, that is enough. Don't listen to him.
Don't even talk to him.
He's just trying to get into our heads
so that he can do whatever it is he came here to do.
Where the hell is she?
You! My colleague Kayla
had very strong thoughts about you ceasing to exist.
What happened, I wonder?
- She changed her mind. - Is that so?
Well, speaking of changes, love the new 'do.
Everybody out. Let's go.
Everybody out, except for Spooner.
Keep an eye on him.
Tries to escape, shoot him in the face.
You got it, Capitana.
Why would I want to escape
when I feel like I am finally home?
- Synced and corrected by Firefly - - www.addic7ed.com -
Something's missing.
What do you mean something's missing,
- like his moral compass? - No, like 6% of who Bishop is.
We destroyed his compound
before he could finish uploading himself.
You know what, guys, a true psychopath wouldn't wanna
just murder the woman who destroyed his life work.
He'd really want to take some time torturing her, you know.
Thanks, babe. That's very reassuring.
But if Bishop wants to play chess,
he has chosen the wrong opponent.
Uh, no, no, no, no, absolutely not.
Please. C'mon, babe. I've always wanted
to get inside the mind of an evil genius.
Who, technically speaking, created you.
Both of you, actually.
Not helping Nate. Look, babe. I'll just go in there
and try to find a way to connect with him.
That way we can figure out why the hell he's here.
- You sure? - Yes.
Okay. All right. All right.
Just don't let him get into your head, okay?
Argh, bloody hell.
Ah, yeah.
It's all coming back to me now.
I really made a dog's dinner of that pile again, didn't I?
I take it the beast got me.
No, John, that was me.
I stabbed the beast in the back,
and somehow you woke up with a scar.
- Look, I can explain. - Oh, can you?
Can you explain how you nearly killed all of us?
How you lied to me yet again?
Lying was part of Gary's game.
I didn't make up the rules, love.
Don't call me love.
And don't pretend like this was all a game.
You know what? My brother was right about you.
You're different, John.
Yeah, I'm different.
I mean, how many people you know who have drunk
from the Fountain of bloody Imperium.
But don't worry, all right?
I just need a little bit of time
to get a handle on my newfound power,
and maybe I should woodshed my magic by myself, hey?
Yeah. Yeah. I think that's best.
Oh, come on, don't be like that.
Come on, love. I mean...
my love, ju...
Damn it, Johnny!
John's lying to me, again.
Huh, glad he's feeling like his old self.
No, he's... he's trying to blame his behavior
on the Fountain, but I don't buy it.
Can't you whip up some kind of truth serum or whatever?
Yeah. It's called scotch.
Hey, I'm serious.
You would still be stuck in that game
if it weren't for me.
Please.
Look, if you wanna find out what happened with John
at the Fountain, it is not my help you need.
Spoon's.
That is a great idea. She can help us, come on.
I guess my life could use a little more drama.
I was hoping we'd have a chance to kibbitz.
Get to know each other, just you and me.
But you already know me.
You had a planet full of mes, didn't you?
Don't sell yourself so short.
Sara could have had her pick of my Avas,
yet she turned over the heavens to get back to you.
So, what makes you so special?
Sara said you'd do this. Try to get into my head.
Like she isn't interested in getting into mine?
I knew this was a mistake.
No. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Please. Don't go.
We've hardly broken the ice.
Hmm, thatagirl. You see that?
Making Bishop think that she's the vulnerable one.
You know what, you can play nice all you want,
but it still doesn't excuse
the fact that you kidnap the woman that I love.
But the fact that I did so in order
to save all of humanity... changes nothing.
You're right.
I was an arrogant egomaniacal...
meanie.
And so what now? Hmm?
You've come here to turn over a new leaf.
Is that what we're all supposed to believe?
Where else would I go?
What else would I do?
Look, I know this is gonna sound perverse, but...
But what?
You and Sara are the closest thing I have left to family.
I know. Sounds insane.
No, I get it actually.
You're a clone. I'm a clone
and it's not like I have any real family, so... sure.
I guess in some perverse way, we are... like family.
Playing him like a fiddle.
Bishop's not gonna let himself
be manipulated that easily.
Can I... tell you a secret?
You... were always my favorite Ava.
Not you personally, of course. Your model.
You mean bossy Ava?
Ugh. A moniker our marketing department came up with.
I wanted to call you Boss Ava.
Only people were afraid of a clone
that would tell them what to do,
except that is precisely what you were designed for.
But you have exceeded my wildest dreams.
You're getting married.
Didn't see that one coming.
Why not?
I lower the oxytocin levels in all the clones,
the so-called love hormone.
I don't want you falling in love.
It hurts productivity.
Huh. Maybe that's why I'm having such a hard time
planning this damn wedding.
Productivity is usually my strong suit
and I can't even put together a seating arrangement.
Maybe I can help... not like I have anything else to do it.
And it'll be fun.
If Sara even knew I was talking to you...
Oh, c'mon. It'll be our little secret.
How do I know that you're not just doing this
to get me to let my guard down?
I am doing this so that you let your guard down.
I want to get to know you, Ava.
I have to go.
I can also help your friend Rory.
What? What's wrong with Rory?
Nothing... yet.
But those babies in his head are getting hungry.
How the hell did you know about...
Kayla letting him live?
The fact that he's experiencing headaches, that luxurious hair.
Doesn't take a genius to realize
he mated with a Necrian.
I spent eons trying to meld humans and aliens
and never thought to do it the old-fashioned way.
I can help you save Rory by giving his spawn
the proper nutrients.
It's either that or... his brain.
- Oh! Guess it worked. - Of course it did.
I made Bishop think that I needed something from him,
and he proved himself to be trustworthy, for now.
But believe me, this is just the opening move
of our little chess match.
What does that make me? The pawn?
- Hmm. - It's not that bad.
Oh!
What?
I have alien taste buds, what I can say?
Are you sure it's okay
we leave Spooner in there alone with Bishop?
There's no way he's getting in her head.
Spoons, we need to talk about Spain.
What about Spain?
Did someone say Spain? I spent a week in Ibiza once.
Didn't sleep a wink. Last thing I remember, I was...
That's Bishop, huh?
That turtleneck is doing him no favors.
One with the music.
Anyways.
Hey, what happened
when John drank from the Fountain of Imperium?
I was with him and the kid Fernando in the cave.
The fascists were coming and...
Spoons, you okay?
The... the fascists were coming and...
Whoa. Okay, that was weird.
It's like something's missing, like a blank spot in my memory.
Like something's been erased.
You think John put a spell on me?
I'm gonna kill him.
Just not until we find out what he wanted you to forget.
Which means I'm gonna have to put another spell on you.
Look, I'd love to help you out, but...
- Ah, Aves, perfect timing. - Hey.
What do you guys... anyway, I need a moment with Bishop.
He is all yours.
Just in case somebody gets out of line.
Thanks.
Going this way.
So... how's your pregnant friend feeling?
Better. Thank you for the advice.
Perhaps there's some way
I could assist your friend John.
- What's wrong with John? - Oh, I don't know.
Just your friends seemed concerned about him
that maybe he drank something he shouldn't have.
I am a doctor.
No, John's fine.
Why do you do this to yourself?
Oh nice. You're wearing my clothes now, are ya?
Well, someone's gotta pick up the mantle
and you're in no shape for it,
but you don't have to suffer, Johnny.
Suffer, Johnny...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Another snort of the Scarlet Lady
and I'll be right as rain. Is that it?
You know, it's not the first time I've gotten clean.
And why haven't you dumped it?
You'll never be clean, Johnny.
You know, you're not even real.
You're just a figment in my imagination,
some damn junkie hallucination.
And without magic, you're just a pathetic ex-smoker
in a trench coat who lies to the people he loves.
At least I'll be rid of you.
Have it your way then.
No, no, no, no, no. Stop!
Can you see John?
You'll never be rid of me.
I am you.
You think that that's his real name?
- Bishop? - Mm-hmm.
It does feel a little on the nose.
Gideon. How we doing with the scan?
I'm still analyzing his genetic code.
What are you hiding?
10 bucks Ava gets it out of him first.
I don't bet against my girl.
I spy with my little eye
a wedding binder!
Oh, it's thorough.
Yes, I've... heard that.
Sara put me in charge because usually I'm the decisive one,
and I can't seem to choose a single thing.
Okay. Let's start simple.
What's the coolest wedding you've ever been to, huh?
What kind of vibe we talking?
I've never actually been to a wedding.
- Hmm? - Yeah. I was sort of known
as the party pooper at the Time Bureau, so...
Hey, look, it's tough being the boss.
- I know. Thank you. - Mm-hmm.
Now, look, you're just putting too much pressure
on yourself. Just go with your gut.
I can't, I don't... what if I choose something weird?
Who cares? Speed round. What's your favorite flower?
- Uh, is cactus a flower? - Color?
- Gray. - Appetizer?
See, this thing about appetizers.
I don't understand why people have to eat before they eat.
Okay. So, the ceremony will be unconventional,
but it's all you.
Admit it.
I'm weird!
Why the hell did you have to make me so weird?
Look, first off, I didn't make you.
Yes, I designed you,
but everything you've done in your life,
that's your accomplishment, not mine.
And you not knowing whether you want a vegan cake
or not doesn't matter.
I'm gonna take that back... vegan cakes are disgusting.
Well, thank you for trying to help.
I really appreciate it.
Hey, don't forget. I'm a clone too.
A clone of a clone of a clone of a clone.
So how many times?
Oh, I lost track somewhere around my 200th reiteration.
200th?
And every one of them was different.
You know me. I like to tinker.
So how exactly is this you
different from the you Sara knew?
Hmm. Good question.
Oh, come on, you psycho son of a bitch.
Tell her what you're hiding.
There was something missing
from the me that Sara met on Pliny X19.
It took me a long time to find it.
You want to know what it was?
Humility.
Ah!
What a lying piece of crap.
- Humility? - Mmm.
Wow!
All right. You ready?
Mm.
Don't want to bite my tongue off.
You're such a baby.
Tortured mind with secrets hidden
show me that which is forbidden.
You did it! All the magic!
The Fountain.
The Fountain didn't want John.
It decided he wasn't worthy.
Well, then how did he get his magic back?
He took a sip of something.
Look, I don't know what it was, but when he drank it,
that's when he killed the soldiers
who were attacking us.
Where the hell are you going?
Oh, I'm just going to break up
with my lying dumpster fire of a boyfriend.
A Juiced up warlock who likes to kill people?
I don't think so. First, we need to figure out
exactly what John's been dosing himself with.
Your betrothed has good taste
in music and in love.
Found it.
- Hmm. - Lou Reed, 1972.
- Looks punky. - Mm-hmm.
Well, I guess Sara and I got engaged at a punk show.
So... same night that you kidnapped her, actually.
You wanna know the even crazier thing?
If you hadn't kidnapped her, she may never have proposed.
It wasn't until we all went back that same night
a second time that she popped the big question.
- A real mind-bender, huh? - Yeah.
What do you think?
It's, um... unconventional.
I like it.
I'm not sure how you... how do you dance to it?
Let me show.
It'll be our... father-daughter dance?
I'm... not sure that's a good idea.
You mean with Sara watching?
You knew.
? Just a perfect day ?
? Feed... ?
That can't be good.
Ava is just making Bishop think
that she is playing into his hand.
Like I am doing to you.
Oh... ha ha ha!
? Such a perfect day ?
I'm sorry I pried before, about John.
Oh, it's okay.
It was nice of you to try and help.
It's just... he's a little more complicated than Rory.
Hmm, tormented by demons of his own making?
- Yes, literally. - Mm.
? Just a perfect day ?
- This song. - Mm.
Sara's gonna love it.
Makes me wanna smile and cry all at the same time.
Yes. I know exactly how you feel.
Why? Did you design me to feel that way?
What difference does it make?
All of us are just a jumble of neurons and synapses,
a tiny electrical storm in our head.
Why should your feelings be any less real than anyone else's?
I'm proud of you, Ava.
? Oh, it's a... ?
I only wish we could have a dance of our own
on your special day.
I-I can't, I'm sorry.
? Oh, such a perfect day ?
? You just keep me hanging' on ?
? You just keep me hangin' on ?
Aha! Bravo.
Babe, that was masterful. The way you played Bishop
off of me to make him think that you trust him?
What a performance!
That was a performance, right?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Gideon's scan came back. He's a 100% human.
So we know what he is.
You have any theories on why he's here?
Tch. Honestly, I think he wants to get to know us.
I think he sees us as family.
- Really? - Yeah.
I-I-I know it's part of his act or whatever,
but doesn't mean it isn't true, right?
Yeah, actually, I think you found his angle.
He is gonna use you guys to get to me, which is smart.
Or maybe this isn't about you.
Maybe the guy's just lonely, you know?
Not everybody has a family that they can call their own.
Oh, hey.
Are you checking up on me?
Checking in.
You see, that's what girlfriends do.
Yeah. I'm sorry, this magic
just got a bit of an edge, you know?
Yeah. Yeah, I see that.
Are we okay?
I don't know, John, you tell me.
Yeah, yeah, we're good.
I love you.
Pffft. I just... I hate to piss you off, you know?
You look tired.
Why don't you go upstairs, take a bath?
We'll just have a quiet night at home together. Yeah?
Yeah.
Thanks, love.
Oh...
old habits die hard.
Yeah, I know.
And I'll take a bath.
Mm. Ha.
Ah-eh-uh...
Thank you.
Aah!
Three, four, five.
- What the hell was that? - Contraction.
A six-second contraction, to be exact.
You are officially in labor. Sooner than expected,
but you know, we are in uncharted waters here.
When does my head explode?
Your head's not gonna explode,
not with uncle Gar here.
Although once you hit the second week of labor,
you might wish it had.
Is it gonna hurt?
Well, my father describes it
like eating a handful of hot peppers
and then passing 50 large pointy rocks
through his Necrian head hole,
which for you will be your ears.
Ears? Ah!
I can't do this. I... I can't do this.
It's totally normal to feel this way, Mick.
You know, this is just you facing
the reality of these babies.
Soon, you're gonna be daddy.
A single dad of 48 babies.
I didn't sign up for this.
Well, I mean, you're not gonna be alone.
You... you got me, you got all the Legends.
Right. Yeah.
You're gonna be the godfather.
Yeah.
Yeah, sure. Yeah, I mean, whatever.
Who are you trying to impress?
Her?
Or is there another voice, something more primal?
Will you just shut up, all right?
I don't need you. I've got this under control.
You believe that, do you? She certainly doesn't.
What the bloody hell are you on about?
Check your pocket, John.
- What is it? - Astra?
It's blood.
In Hell we call this a Scarlett Lady.
What does that mean?
It means John has tapped into
some very volatile, very dark magic.
If he doesn't stop using it, it will kill him.
Okay, what if we confront him?
Zari!
Sounds like he'll kill us.
- Where is it? - John, don't do this.
You stay out of this. You give it here now.
It's this or me, John. You can't have both.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry.
I thought I had control of this thing...
But I don't.
I don't.
Is it done?
That was the last of it. Yeah.
Now look...
I'm gonna lock myself in that manor.
I am not coming out until this is out of my system, all right?
I promise you that.
John.
I'm coming with you.
Hey.
Look, I'm sorry. This whole thing is my fault.
I never should have sent you in there alone.
You didn't send me in, Sara.
It... it was my idea to interrogate him.
Yes. Yeah, you're right.
Oh, babe, I'm sorry, okay?
And I'm sorry if I was putting too much pressure on you
to plan the wedding. I didn't...
I thought that it was what you wanted and I...
No, I... I did.
I think focusing on dresses and seating arrangements
was reassuring that things can be managed, you know.
But what can't be managed is that I have no idea
how I'm supposed to be feeling.
You know, I-I never saw my parents
kiss or laugh
or, you know, fight even.
I never had a mom to like hug me after a heartbreak
or just a dad to tell me that he was proud of me,
and I just never had a family... to love me.
And I really don't know that I'm gonna know
how to love ours.
- That's all. - Babe.
You do not need to learn how to love.
Everything about you is love.
And it doesn't matter where you came from.
You made yourself into who you are.
And I'll tell you what... that chick,
she is the most intelligent
and funny and loving person
that I have ever met.
I love you.
Thank you.
Well, okay.
Will you come and show me what you've been planning?
- No. - Come on, I wanna see.
Okay, wait, wait, wait,
let's start with something good. Here we go.
Is that a lemon buttercream cake
topped with maraschino cherries? Perfect!
The cherries were Bishop's idea, but...
Ooh, I love whatever these are.
- Yeah. - Actually that was all Bishop.
Tapas. Yes, that's perfect. I love that idea.
Oh, well, I was actually thinking of more traditional,
you know, meal service, but then he suggested tapas
'cause they're more fun, they...
Encourage conversation and help out the people
- stuck at the... - Boring table.
Yeah, well...
Bishop is, he's pretty good at wedding planning, I guess.
It's like he's reading my mind or something.
- This? Yes. - Uh, babe?
It's not like that. It is that.
6% that's missing, it's...
it's you.
He's 6% me? What the hell does that mean?
Spaniel, Broad, Tricycle.
System override. Your orders, Captain?
Shut down the electromagnetic barrier.
12, 13, 14...
your contractions are getting longer.
Your water could break any time now.
Wait, Mick you're in labor?
I'm gonna be a godfather, Nate!
If you need anything like a... like a Q-tip or something,
because there's disgusting ooze coming out of your ear.
- Aah! - Whoa!
Your hair's already falling out.
- No! - It's all happening so fast.
Go, go, go, go, go. I'll get Sara and Eva.
It's happening! Mick's water broke.
I know, it sounds weird to say it. Come on.
Okay. It's go time.
Wait, wait, how did he get out?
I let him out. Sorry.
He knew the override code.
Damn it. He got the 6% with all the useful stuff.
Gideon, be a peach and lock down the hallway.
Rory.
You're not getting to Rory without getting through me.
And let's be real, that's not gonna happen.
Sara, you've got this all wrong.
I don't wanna hurt him. I wanna help him.
And why would I trust you?
Because I am you.
You wish.
You wanna fight? Aww, what can I say?
I do too.
Gideon... set the mood.
That music isn't helping.
Door!
You know what they say when you fight yourself?
You're destined to lose.
Destiny's so last season.
Ahhhhh!
Did you hear the good news? I'm gonna be a godfather.
Why's the door locked? Rory needs me.
I knew you were twisted... but merging my DNA with yours...
that is next level.
You blew up my lab before I could finish my upload.
I needed a few more A, C, G, and Ts to complete my genome.
Yours were in the system. So I took them.
Now I know everything you know.
Unfortunately for you...
that's all you know too.
Abren las puertas, por favor.
Lock her up, Gigi.
Get out of my delivery room.
And miss all the fun?
Aah!
Just in time.
Looks like that first little guy is about to crown.
He's after the eggs.
He's hijacked Gideon.
- Yeah, it's jammed. - You gotta do system reboot.
On it.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, that does not look good.
What doesn't look good?
They're breach.
Gideon, lubricate his sinus cavity.
What?
We're gonna have to deliver these babies nasally.
The reboot's gonna take 30 minutes.
Apparently Gideon's calendar needs to be updated.
Damn it. Okay, Spooner,
do you have anything that can shoot through metal?
Now breathe.
Ah! Uhh!
Aah! Aaaaah!
Aaaaaah!
- They're coming fast now. - How many more?
Just 45 to go and then I'll have them all.
What happened?
Bishop locked himself in there.
With Mick.
We've got you. All right, stand back.
Meet the newest Legends.
Look at them. So peaceful.
Lita's gonna be so happy.
As much as it pains me to say this, thank you.
Rory would have been dead without you.
Friends?
Don't push your luck.
You should be happy that I thanked you.
Well, you can thank me by taking me back to myself.
You're volunteering to go back into yourself?
Please.
We would have just let you out
if you'd explain what you were doing.
I see now how bad it looked from your end.
Hindsight is 20/20.
Look, I... I get it. I messed up.
I've been alone so long,
I forgot what it means to be a friend.
What it's like to be part of a family.
I know I've got a lot of work to do.
I just hope you'll give me a chance to earn your trust.
We'll see.
Ciao, ciao, for now.
So, I guess this is it then, right?
End of the bloody road.
Exorcist, Demonologists,
Master of bloody bull... squat.
- John? - Yeah, yeah.
Listen to me.
Hey, I know it doesn't feel like it at this moment,
but...
this could be a new beginning.
You know I meant what I told you
when I said I loved ya.
Because I do. I got to end this.
- I've got to end... - John, that...
that doesn't fix anything.
Look, you deserve someone who is bloody fantastic,
all right, not some pathetic has-been, honestly.
I have spent my whole life trying to be somebody
for everyone else.
When I'm with you, I can just be myself.
That is the greatest gift.
I love you.
Not your magic, you.
Hey, I'm not an idiot.
You have told me so many lies.
I need the truth. The truth.
The truth is, I don't know.
I don't know who I am without magic...
I don't know how the hell I'm gonna get through this.
I mean, I want to...
but if you still love me
after everything that I've put you through then...
I wanna do it with you.
I... am...
going to get you a cup of tea.
Okay. All right.
Oh, yeah, the kettle,
it's in the back of the cupboard somewhere.
Oh, sorry. I meant Gidget is gonna make the tea,
but I'm gonna walk all the way there and back with the tea.
- I am a right lucky bastard. - I know.
Greetings, Mr. Constantine.
Who's this?
An old friend you just met.
Bishop.
You and I have a lot in common, it seems.
And perhaps, if you'll trust me...
Yeah, that's not likely, mate.
Ever notice how people romanticize humility?
Ironic, since it's power that changes the world.
I can help you get yours back if you do me one...
I told Sara these things were a bad idea.
What, you thought I'd just vanished... poof?
Think I'll stick around, mate.
Yeah, like hell you will.
You see, you're just my own personal demon.
I should have faced you a long time ago.
Oh, the gallant hero.
Now this Bishop bloke,
what was he on about, hey?
I don't care. You heard me... I'm done.
Done with magic, and I'm done with you.
Is that funny to you, is it?
Oh... hilarious.
Ohh...
What the...
Ohh...
What, did you think I'd just stand idly by
and watch you throw away all of our power for a woman?
Oh, Johnny boy.
You need the sense knocked into you, don't ya?
- Aah! - Johnny boy.
What a disappointment.
Aaah...
I told you John,
I'm not just some bloody side affect
that you can get rid of by tossing your flask.
No.
I am you.
How's the proud Papa?
Is that mushroom and...
- Oh, okay. - Ginger?
Yeah, it's Bishop's pregnancy smoothie.
Poured it down Rory's ears, but I like to drink it.
Oh, that explains why Mick delivered so quickly.
Necrians use ginger to induce labor.
What?
Why would Bishop wanna induce Rory's labor?
It's not like he wanted the babies.
Maybe he wanted something else.
- Not the ear. - He induces Rory's labor
so that he could get access to his comms.
With the comms he can talk to anyone.
God, he's been studying us this whole time,
trying to see who's most vulnerable, who he can crack.
Figuring out who would help him.
Hello, John.
Now...
what was it you were saying about getting my powers back?
