Had an idea, so why not bring this one back?
1885
Grover Cleavland (Peter DeLuise) is in charge now, and he's worried. The Secret Service's top two agents, Jeremy Pike (George Clooney) and Frank Harper (Brad Pitt) were apparently onto something but as we witness in a precredit sequence, they were both lured to an alleyway and shot to pieces via gatling gun.
Fearing the service is compromised, Cleavland summons the only agents whose identities are not on file-James West and Artimes Gordon. Their mission: Find out what Pike and Harper discovered.
It's Dr. Loveless, but here's the cinch. He's not working alone.
No, it seems a group of thinkers (engineers, philosophers, chemists, etc.) have banded together under a single banner. The Brotherhood of the Raven, as they call themselves, have one goal. The Twentieth Century is quickly coming and they WILL see a utopian society. All the horrors and hypocrisies of man will die in the Nineteenth. Dr. Loveless will see to that. Granted they are going to have to kill a rather large number of folks, but omelets and eggs and all that.
It goes pretty bad for West and Gordon, but West makes a plea. The Brotherhood want to remove imperfections. Would Loveless count?
This gives the scientist pause and he leaves the agents bound. Dr. Loveless confronts the leaders and to his shock, they are agree. Loveless's work is brilliant but the man himself is far too imperfect to meet the coming century. No, once they have no use for him he'll be killed. Humanly, of course as they're not monsters.
Pity that Dr. Loveless doesn't hold himself that standard. He frees West and Gordon on the condition they stop the Brotherhood. Loveless himself goes to destroy his lab and all his notes. If he can't be an equal to the Brotherhood then he'll be better.
West and Gordon manage to stop the Brotherhood but the base explodes. They escape, but did Dr. Loveless flee or die?
