Fail-Safe

"Everything we've tried to achieve so far could be lost. And not only will my family die 150 years from now, but your family, your city your entire 21st-century world will suffer. That's why we're gonna get Stein back before Vostok can break him. Well, I hope so, but we need a contingency plan. What are you saying? I'm saying that if at any point throughout the operation it becomes clear that Martin is beyond our reach. You want me to kill Stein?"

- Rip Hunter and Sara Lance
