LONDON, ENGLAND, 2166
The Waverider entered above the clouds and was immediately met with enemy fire.
Rip: We're going to need to find a safe place to set down, Gideon.
Gideon: I don't believe there are any safe places, Captain.
Stein: Are we over London yet?
Rip: What's left of it.
Jax: Why's London shooting at us?
Theta: 2160s Earth is surprisingly hostile. I've only ever been once and that was my fill.
Rip: It's Savage's forces that are doing the shooting. Here in 2166, they've subjugated most of the globe.
Sara: Maybe picking up here wasn't the brightest idea.
Stein: Unfortunately, we no longer have the luxury of blindly searching for Savage throughout history.
Rip: Indeed; we have to target Savage at the time and place that we're certain he will be, which is-
Mick: Right before he wastes your family.
Everyone stared at Mick for his insensitivity.
Mick: What?
Rip: Yes, Mr. Rory, Savage will kill my wife and son in three days' time, but we can save them and the world by stopping Savage now.
Gideon: Captain, I've managed to slip beneath their artillery fire.
Rip: Set us down on the outskirts of the city, Gideon, near the encampment of the remaining resistance forces. We are going to need to proceed swiftly.
Stein: I realize your family is in jeopardy, but perhaps some deliberation-
Rip: We really don't have the time, Martin! According to Gideon, Savage is going to be out in the open tonight. Vulnerable. Now, in order to capture him, I require the services of-
Mick: A killer, klepto, and pyro?
Rip: Bingo. Theta, if you'd kindly join us for extra supervision of the reprobates?
Theta: Of course.

Rip, Theta, Sara, Mick, and Snart stood disguised in the middle of a crowd of soldiers gathered to listen to Savage speak.
Savage: Here we stand at the edge of history! But as tempting as it might be to celebrate our previous victories. It is only for the next final battle that you will be remembered!
Sara: There's no way we can grab him here.
Snart: Not with an army standing between us.
Mick: Shh, I'm trying to listen to this guy. He gives a hell of a speech.
Savage: Onward to victory!
Soldiers: Ooh-rah!
Savage: Onward to immortality!
Soldiers: Ooh-rah!
Savage walked off the stage.
Kendra: <All set on our end. Jax is in the Jumpship, ready to extract you guys.>
Snart: Especially if, and by if, I mean when, this thing goes south.
Savage walked past them with his soldiers and his lieutenant.
Snart: Savage's lady friend just made us.
Rip: Have faith, Mr. Snart.
They followed on the line of soldiers in formation.
