"There's still one more intruder, and he has the thermal core." "We don't need it now." "We have something far better." "Ugh, thank God you managed to grab it." "Where was my backup, Captain?" "Half the team is gone... [laser powers up]" "Because of you." "Only if I'd have sent the other half in to save them, they'd be captured too, and where would we be, hmm?" "Savage would have both halves of Firestorm, a dead Kendra on top of a dead Carter, everything he wants." "It would be the end to our little crusade, and, most likely, the world." "So before you pull that trigger, ask yourself what would you have done?" "That is a pretty cold calculation, Rip." "Almost criminal, except we criminals have a code" ""You never leave one of your own behind."" "We will get them back." "Now, if Savage even hopes to create a Firestorm, first, he's going to need a new one of these." "A thermal core?" "Let me get this straight." "You had Kendra and I training for the next mission, when we should have been out there helping them." "We will help them, and our next mission is to get our compatriots back from Vostok." "Who is to say they're not already dead?" "Vostok needs the professor alive in order to rebuild the thermal core." "And Ray and Rory?" "Savage will keep them alive too." "As leverage." "He'll torture them if Stein tries to hold out." "Well, we'll have to pray that he does." "If Savage's goal is to create his own Firestorm, then Stein himself is the key, the missing piece of the puzzle." "And if Vostok figures out how to turn Stein's powers against us, then..." "I'm afraid the world is beyond saving." "Stein's a lot tougher than he looks." "I mean, it will take a lot to break him." "That's the good news." "The bad news is that our compatriots are being held in an impenetrable Soviet gulag." "[door clangs shut]" "Get a good night's sleep." "You and Dr. Vostok have much work to do in the morning." "My companions from the lab... what did you do with them?" "Don't worry." "They're alive." "Whether they remain that way is entirely up to you, Professor." "[dramatic horn music]" "# #"
