- Sara Lance: Vodka martini, extra dirty, stirred.
- Ava Sharpe: Stirred, not shaken?
- Sara Lance: Shaken's for lightweights who like their booze watered down.
- Ava Sharpe: And James Bond.
- Sara Lance: James Bond never had to fight off a horde of Vikings or help me escape a demon realm.
- Ava Sharpe: Hi.
- Sara Lance: Wow. You look...
- Ava Sharpe: Weird. I look weird, right?
- Sara Lance: I was gonna say "beautiful", but...
- Ava Sharpe: Thank you. So do you. It's... wow.
- Rip Hunter: Let's have another drink. Oh. I appear to be empty. Give me some of that.
- Wally West: No, this... this is not for you.
- Rip Hunter: Please, I drank Hemingway and van Gogh under the table.
- Wally West: Um, Cisco gave this to me before I left Central City. The only way a speedster could get drunk if off of this rocket fuel.
- Rip Hunter: Rocket fuel?
- Blackbeard: This be the spot! Get to digging.
- Anne Queen: Surely you don't mean for these men to be knowing where we buried our treasure.
- Blackbeard: "Our" treasure, my love?
- Anne Queen: Ay, ours. And no one else's.
- Blackbeard: Oh, no, no, don't concern yourself over a few doubloons.
- [showing her the emerald necklace]
- Blackbeard: I didn't show these sorry sea dogs the most valuable trinket in me possession.
- [putting it around her neck]
- Blackbeard: An emerald fit... for a pirate queen.
- Amaya Jiwe: I don't know what I'm looking at.
- Mick Rory: Looks like a hemorrhoid.
- Ray Palmer: What? No, it... it's Mallus. Demon horns? Anyway, the hunt for the six totems has begun.
- Amaya Jiwe: There are only five tribes in Zambesi. Each was gifted with a totem. And a I checked; there's no record of a sixth.
- Ray Palmer: Well, the good news is that we have the Air and the Spirit totems.
- Amaya Jiwe: Kuasa has the Water totem.
- Ray Palmer: And since the final totem is a complete mystery, that leaves us looking for Earth and Fire. Now, the Fire totem, which is currently smashed, BTW, was last seen in a Detroit museum in 2018.
- Amaya Jiwe: Wait, how do you know that?
- Ray Palmer: Because it is with your granddaughter Mari's - or, AKA the other Vixen's - boyfriend, Dr. Adam Macalester. He's dedicated his life to the study of the Zambesi totems.
- Amaya Jiwe: Well, if Constantine is right and the only thing that Mallus fears is the sixth, then we need to get our hands on the Fire totem.
- Mick Rory: Ah. Collect the set, win a prize.
- Ray Palmer: We need to tell Sara we got to get to Detroit.
- Mick Rory: Nope, she's off to Star City. She's been texting some guy. They're going on a date.
- Ray Palmer: How do you know? What, are you looking at her phone?
- Mick Rory: I look at everyone's phone. Helps pass the time.
- Ray Palmer: Well... who's she going on a date with?
- Amaya Jiwe: Obviously, it's Ava.
- Mick Rory: Oh, that's hot.
- Sara Lance: [entering] What's hot?
- Ray Palmer: [changing the subject] Uh... the Fire totem. Hot, hot. Very hot and currently in Detroit, so what do you say we motor off to the Motor City?
- Sara Lance: Right now? Um... I might sit this one out, because I have to do... business back home.
- Mick Rory: I bet you do.
- Mick Rory: We tried to steal the Fire totem from your granddaughter's boyfriend, but someone beat us to it.
- Ray Palmer: Damien Darhk.
- Amaya Jiwe: [reading the note Zari hands her] "Dear Legends, now I have two."
- Zari Tomaz: You know, for a megalomaniac, he has very lovely penmanship.
- Ray Palmer: I know, right?
- Ava Sharpe: You always seem so composed and cool, but you can't be all cool all the time. What's the most embarrassed you've ever been?
- Sara Lance: That's an easy one. First time I ever had a weapon in my hand.
- Ava Sharpe: Lian Yu?
- Sara Lance: Nope. Starling City Elementary. I was Peter Pan in the school play. I got up on stage in the first scene, and I just totally froze. I couldn't remember any of my lines. It was like my mind just went blank.
- Ava Sharpe: [laughing] What'd you do?
- Sara Lance: Well, I broke out into a tap dance, of course, and then I ran off stage crying.
- Mick Rory: Captain wants to see you.
- Nate Heywood: Aw, man, Sara's here?
- Mick Rory: Not that one, you dumbass. I'm talking about the most fearsome pirate queen to sail the seven seas: the Dread Pirate Jiwe.
- [indicating the depressed Amaya]
- Mick Rory: She needs to loosen up.
- Nate Heywood: [catching on] Yeah. I heard she once cut out a man's tongue for not obeying her orders.
- Mick Rory: Yeah... and she still carries it to this day.
- Toothless Pirate: I never heard of no lady pirate.
- Ray Palmer: That's because dead men tell no tales.
- Scottish Pirate: They say she lost her ship to a kraken, and in retribution, she hunted down the monster's wee bairn and ate the gupper raw.
- Barkeep: I heard she was spat back out o' hell by the devil himself.
- Barrel-Chested Pirate: I hear she be more bold and fearless than Captain Blackbeard.
- [Blackbeard appears in the door threshold]
- Barrel-Chested Pirate: Begging your pardon, Captain.
- Blackbeard: What was that you said?
- Barrel-Chested Pirate: I have it under good authority we be in the company of the Dread Pirate Jiwe.
- Amaya Jiwe: [quietly] Why is everyone staring at me?
- Mick Rory: If there's one thing pirates love more than treasure, it's a good story.
- Amaya Jiwe: I'm so sorry, Mick. If I really was the Dread Pirate Jiwe, I never would've let Darhk steal my totem.
- Mick Rory: What the hell are you apologizing for? You're better than a story, and a hell of a lot more fearsome than some pirate queen, with or without your totem.
- Sara Lance: Please tell me that the Waverider did not just crash into Star City.
- Zari Tomaz: Star City? Is that where we are?
- Sara Lance: Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
- Ray Palmer: Well, the good news is the cannonball didn't hit the time core. And Nate made a beautiful landing.
- Zari Tomaz: [dryly sarcastic] Yeah.
- Nate Heywood: Thanks, big guy. So, Sara, how's the date going?
- Sara Lance: I don't know who looks more ridiculous, you guys in your pirate britches or me in this... stupid dress.
- Zari Tomaz: Definitely them.
- Sara Lance: You know, this was never gonna work out.
- Ava Sharpe: Really? What, because I'm a mature person who actually can communicate?
- Sara Lance: Oh, really? Such a communicator! Like when you said you were going to the bathroom?
- Ava Sharpe: What are you talking about?
- Sara Lance: You think I didn't see Gary?
- Ava Sharpe: Oh, my... Rip broke into the Time Bureau. I was coming back to the table to tell you.
- Sara Lance: You know, this is pointless.
- Ava Sharpe: Yeah, it is.
- Sara Lance: We should have never tried to be normal. I'm not normal, all right? I'm never gonna be normal, and I'm not gonna be normal for anyone!
- Ava Sharpe: I don't want you to be normal!
- Sara Lance: [surprised] You don't?
- Ava Sharpe: Hell no.
- [they kiss passionately]
- Ava Sharpe: Rum floats were a very good idea.
- Sara Lance: Only seemed fair since we missed dessert.
- [the rum brand changes from "Captain Godfree" to "Captain Jiwe"]
- Sara Lance: Huh.
- Ava Sharpe: What?
- Sara Lance: Sometimes we screw things up for the better.
- Ava Sharpe: I will drink to that.
- Sara Lance: Um... how was work?
- Ava Sharpe: Work is... ugh, this is awful. You know what, I have an idea. Let's just try to be normal for one night. No Legends, no Bureau. What do you think?
- [their server brings her drink]
- Ava Sharpe: Thank you.
- [to Sara again]
- Ava Sharpe: I feel like relationships are complicated enough without time travel and supervillains, don't you?
- Sara Lance: [raising her drink] Okay. Then here's to being two regular women on a completely normal first date.
- Ava Sharpe: Completely normal.
- Zari Tomaz: Hey. You okay?
- Amaya Jiwe: My granddaughter, the good one, she's out there. I wanna see her more than anything.
- Zari Tomaz: But you can't without screwing up history.
- Amaya Jiwe: Some days, I wish I had never heard of time travel.
- Ray Palmer: [simultaneously with Nate] Bad news!
- Nate Heywood: Good news!
- Zari Tomaz: What's going on?
- Ray Palmer: [simultaneously again] The Fire totem's gone.
- Nate Heywood: I know where their totem is.
- Amaya Jiwe: Ray-Ray, you go first.
- Nate Heywood: I know where the Earth totem is, or more precisely, when: 1717, Saint Lisette.
- [seeing their confusion]
- Nate Heywood: St. Lisette? Sister ship of La Concorde?
- Mick Rory: Get to the point, Pretty.
- Nate Heywood: La Concorde was boarded by pirates, and later named Queen Anne's Revenge. It's Blackbeard the Pirate's ship.
- Ray Palmer: So, Blackbeard has the Earth totem.
- Mick Rory: Well, let's steal it.
- Zari Tomaz: No, guys, hold on. Sara's on a date. We should probably avoid messing with history while she's still on appetizers?
- Ray Palmer: But... think how happy she'd be if we had the Earth totem by dessert.
- Amaya Jiwe: How are we supposed to find Blackbeard in this rabble?
- Ray Palmer: Well, we could ask a pirate nicely.
- Nate Heywood: Nicely? Ray, pirates are terrified of Blackbeard. They're not just gonna offer up...
- Toothless Pirate: [holding a sword to his throat] So, you're looking for Blackbeard? How do I know you's not spies for the Royal Navy?
- Mick Rory: [Amaya fights him off] Because we wanna join Blackbeard's crew, you germ.
- Rip Hunter: It's, uh... it's rather a lovely place you've traveled to, Mr. West.
- Wally West: How'd you find me?
- Rip Hunter: By tracking the geolocation of your mp3 player. Your playlist consists of a rather amazing number of repetitions of George Michael's "Careless Whisper."
- Rip Hunter: I assume that your recent heartbreak is the reason for your spiritual quest. However, with the fate of the world at stake, I-I'm afraid that you can no longer sit idly by.
- Wally West: Well, I-I'm sorry, my friend, but my days of "fwathooming" are over. Right now, I'm living my life one quarter-mile at a time.
- Rip Hunter: Was that a Buddhist koan?
- Wally West: Dom Toretto, "The Fast and the Furious."
- Wally West: Aren't you BFFs with the Legends? I'm sure my boy Nate can help you out.
- Rip Hunter: Uh, it seems that my days of Legending are over. Alas, you're quite secure in your decision to slow things down?
- Wally West: I am.
- Rip Hunter: Well, the last time I was this far east was in the Opium Wars. It'd be a shame to waste a trip. Fancy a drink?
- Amaya Jiwe: So this is where Blackbeard hangs out. Classy.
- Mick Rory: Yup.
- [slapping some gold on the counter]
- Mick Rory: Line 'em up.
- [she takes one of his shots and downs it]
- Mick Rory: What's up?
- Amaya Jiwe: Nothing.
- Mick Rory: I said "What's up?".
- Amaya Jiwe: Fine, you're an unbiased listener. I want to change my granddaughter Kuasa's past and, well, improve her future.
- Mick Rory: So do it.
- Amaya Jiwe: It's not that simple. What if I inadvertently change my other granddaughter's destiny?
- Mick Rory: So don't do it.
- Amaya Jiwe: And then there's Nate. I still have to go back to 1942 and marry someone else so that Kuasa and Mari are even born. We can never end up together. I feel paralyzed. Every step I take, it feels like it could just have disastrous consequences.
- Mick Rory: Take a look around. Do you think these people give a damn about consequences? Take the night off. A true pirate doesn't live for tomorrow. They only live for the moment.
- Amaya Jiwe: Thanks, Mick. But I don't know the first thing about acting like a pirate.
- Mick Rory: [drinking his beer as she leaves] Well... I do.
- Gideon: [leaving Sara a voicemail] It wasn't my idea, but the team has taken the Waverider on a joyride to the Bahamas, 1717, in a futile attempt to locate the missing Earth totem. Just thought you should know.
- Ava Sharpe: [Sara hangs up, poker-faced] Is everything okay?
- Sara Lance: Yeah, totally fine. Normal, in fact.
- Nate Heywood: Rory, Amaya, come in, over.
- Ray Palmer: Some sort of interference with the communications system.
- Nate Heywood: Guys, answer me! Over.
- Zari Tomaz: Hey, calm down. I'm sure they're okay.
- Gideon: [the ship's lights flicker] My apologies, but I'm experiencing a level four systems failure.
- Zari Tomaz: Wasn't me. Nothing to do with it.
- Gideon: I believe the fault lies in our present coordinates. You did park me in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle.
- Nate Heywood: Sailors call it the Devil's Triangle.
- Ray Palmer: No, the stories of ships disappearing are grossly exaggerated.
- [the lights shut down completely]
- Zari Tomaz: [flicking on a lighter] Um... you sure about that, Ray?
- Blackbeard: The scuttlebutt is you're wanting to join me crew.
- Mick Rory: The Dread Pirate Jiwe works for no man.
- Amaya Jiwe: What we seek is treasure.
- Blackbeard: As does every pirate with his - or her - salt.
- Amaya Jiwe: You know, I believe that you have this particular treasure in your possession. It's a necklace with a very large emerald.
- Blackbeard: That description doesn't strike a chord.
- Lt. Robert Maynard: I'm here for the pirate known as Blackbeard.
- Blackbeard: I expect you'll be wanting to see me letter of mark.
- Lt. Robert Maynard: A forgery, no doubt. Your letter will win no favor with me.
- [the Darhks enter; Damien uses his powers to hold Amaya at bay]
- Nora Darhk: [holding a pistol on Rory] I wouldn't so much as breathe if I were you.
- Damien Darhk: Good evening, Ms. Jiwe.
- [taking her totem]
- Damien Darhk: They say the third time is a charm, but this charm is the third.
- Damien Darhk: You know, I must commend you, Lieutenant Maynard, for leading us straight to Blackbeard and his associates.
- Lt. Robert Maynard: You're most welcome, Admiral.
- Amaya Jiwe: Admiral?
- Damien Darhk: I know, right? I look so handsome.
- Lt. Robert Maynard: And I'll be made Commodore, once Blackbeard's severed head swings from my ship's bowspirit.
- Blackbeard: You know, the last Kingsman who threatened me ended up begging for his own life.
- Damien Darhk: You may continue all threats and counter-threats as soon as I get what I need: the emerald necklace. Where is it?
- Mick Rory: That's Blackbeard you're talking to, and he ain't gonna say...
- Blackbeard: I buried it on Grace Island. Would you like me to draw you a map? I can't promise to make it to scale, but, um, I can do my damndest.
- Rip Hunter: [tasting Wally's "rocket fuel"] Cisco's a ruddy genius.
- Wally West: Yeah, he is. So is Barry and Caitlin and Wells. Wait, maybe that's why I never fit on Team Flash.
- Rip Hunter: And here I was thinking you were roaming the Chinese countryside because your girlfriend needed more space. Yeah, I can do one better than that, mate. Both of my favorite prodigies conspired to have me put in prison.
- Wally West: What happened?
- Rip Hunter: Well, I lied to Sara, in addition to accidentally aiding in the resurrection of the man who killed her sister. And Ava is angry at me for sending good agents... to their deaths.
- Wally West: Whoa. Sounds like you're a bit of a douche. No... no offense.
- Rip Hunter: No, none taken, no. I intend to make it up to both of them, but first, I need the teensiest, teensiest of favors.
- Gary Green: Hey, Agent McNeil, just calling to say congrats on being named agent of the month. Ah, the Bureau's lucky to have you.
- [hanging up]
- Gary Green: [with a tone of jealousy] I'm coming for you, McNeil.
- Nate Heywood: Gideon, maybe you could help us settle an argument. What are the chances of survival if we stay in the Bermuda Triangle?
- Gideon: Zero. There are multiple cannonballs headed towards our starboard bow as we speak.
- Zari Tomaz: Um, sorry, cannonballs?
- Ray Palmer: I thought we were cloaked.
- Gideon: I tried to tell you coming here was a bad idea.
- Ray Palmer: Who the heck is firing at us?
- [cut to outside]
- Damien Darhk: I want that ship brought down! Fire another volley!
- Ava Sharpe: My heart is pounding, my palms are sweaty, and I know that I only have a few round left in my pocket.
- Sara Lance: So what'd you do?
- Ava Sharpe: I grabbed a guy and used him as a human shield. And from that point on, no one would ever play paintball with me ever again.
- Sara Lance: Well, it sounds like a hell of a fifteenth birthday party.
- Ava Sharpe: [Gary has interrupted her date] What the hell are you doing here?
- Gary Green: Please don't be mad. You weren't answering your phone.
- Ava Sharpe: This better be a life or death emergency, Gary.
- Gary Green: Worse. A speedster stole my time courier, and then pantsed me.
- Ava Sharpe: And then... did you check if HQ is secure?
- Gary Green: Snug as a bug. Except one item, uh, was reported missing from storage. A long brown coat that used to belong to, uh...
- Ava Sharpe: Rip Hunter.
- Sara Lance: When I left, you were headed for Detroit.
- Ray Palmer: Yeah, it's a... it's... it's a really... it's a really long story.
- Nate Heywood: Mick and Amaya are marooned in 1717, the Darhks have the Fire totem, and Blackbeard has the Earth totem.
- Ray Palmer: I just thought it was gonna be a longer story.
- Zari Tomaz: [entering] Thank god you're back. You look great. The engine room's a disaster. We're not going anywhere.
- Blackbeard: I swore I'd never go back to that island. And I'm a man of me word. Fair winds, me hearties.
- Mick Rory: [incredulous, as he leaves] Blackbeard's... a coward.
- Mick Rory: Listen up. The Dread Pirate Jiwe is looking for a crew.
- Amaya Jiwe: Your old Captain Blackbeard buried his treasure on Grace Island.
- [noticing their reactions]
- Amaya Jiwe: Ah... so you've heard the rumors, then, that the treasure is cursed? But while old Blackbeard is afraid of his own shadow, you men... you vile and despicable men, are willing to face Davy Jones himself for a crack at gold and glory! Who's wiling to join me as we take over Blackbeard's ship?
- Blackbeard: [entering as they cheer] Mutiny! Is that was this is, ey? You'd rather follow the Dread Pirate Jiwe than your own captain?
- [Amaya draws her sword]
- Blackbeard: Then I'm bloody joining you. I'll dig up me chest and share the spoils with ye men. Hats off to the Pirate Queen!
- Nate Heywood: Sara!
- Sara Lance: Yeah, what now?
- Nate Heywood: We have another anachronism in 1717. The HMS Fortitude got into a naval battle with Blackbeard's ship off the coast of Grace Island.
- Sara Lance: So?
- Ray Palmer: So... that is a portrait of their admiral.
- Sara Lance: Damien Darhk.
- Sara Lance: I don't care if Zari has to duct tape the Waverider back together, we have to get it in the air.
- Gideon: Well, I wouldn't advise returning to the Bermuda Triangle.
- Nate Heywood: It's the Devil's Triangle, and Mick and Amaya are in danger.
- Sara Lance: [a portal opens, and Ava enters] Ava! Hey!
- Ava Sharpe: Don't "Hi, Ava" me. You stood me up, jerk.
- Ray Palmer: Awkward.
- Blackbeard: Oh, blast! I've-I've-I've left me compass on the ship. It's a family heirloom, so I should...
- Mick Rory: Turn back and I'll kill you.
- Amaya Jiwe: What aren't you telling us, ey?
- Blackbeard: Well, in... in me haste, I may have left out some... miniscule details about the cursed necklace. I gifted it to me love and queen, the most devious and dastardly woman I've ever had the pleasure of meeting; apart from you, I mean. But as soon as Annie put it on, something dark and unholy overtook her.
- Amaya Jiwe: Totems draw on the life force of their bearer. So if Anne was as wick as you suggest, the totem would've only amplified her worst impulses.
- Blackbeard: It turned her into a monster.
- Mick Rory: How did you live to tell the tale?
- Blackbeard: Well, I... I did the only decent thing any man would do. I put a musket ball in her head and buried her along with the treasure.
- Ava Sharpe: I gotta hand it to you, Ms. Lance, you take the phrase "dine and dash" to a whole new level.
- Sara Lance: Look, the Waverider fell out of the sky. My team needed help.
- Ava Sharpe: [derisive laugh] Why does that not surprise me?
- Sara Lance: [while kissing, Ava suddenly stops] What?
- Ava Sharpe: [turning her around] Oh, no, the kissing was great. It's just...
- Blackbeard: We claim this ship and ye two women as ours!
- Ava Sharpe: [in disbelief] Come on.
- Amaya Jiwe: [approaching the cursed Anne] Listen to me. That totem can burden even one born to wear it. I know it must feel like a noose around your neck. Let me help you break free of this curse.
- [with a crack, Anne's body falls to the ground, revealing Darhk behind her]
- Damien Darhk: Thank you for distracting her. Unfortunately, now I have to kill you.
- Blackbeard: The Waverider, ey? She's, uh... uh... an unusual ship. But I can think of no more appropriate vessel for the Dread Pirate Jiwe. Thanks for saving me life, and for stopping your bonnie mates from keelhauling me.
- Amaya Jiwe: Well, thank you for leading me to the accursed treasure. And make sure you tell them that Captain Jiwe spared you.
- Nate Heywood: Amaya, I am, uh... I am so sorry. If I didn't push everybody to go after the Earth totem, you wouldn't have lost yours.
- Amaya Jiwe: It's all right, Nathaniel.
- Nate Heywood: We'll fix this. We'll get your totem back.
- Amaya Jiwe: My birthright, it's always dictated the path I choose. It's like a compass that just points the way.
- Nate Heywood: It must be so difficult not to have it.
- Amaya Jiwe: It's also freeing. For the first time in my life, I get to decide.
