Quotes 

• Amaya Jiwe : Sara, we appreciate that you may need a break after what happened with the Death totem. But this is the absolute worst time for you to leave.

  Nate Heywood : At least let us lock you up in the brig. We need you here now more than ever.

  Ray Palmer : Yeah, we've almost won the totem race.

  Sara Lance : Which is exactly why I need to go.

• Amaya Jiwe : So, what's going on?

  Wally West : It's your granddaughter, Mari. She's been hurt. A minor wrinkle in the 2018 timeline.

  Amaya Jiwe : How badly?

  Nate Heywood : The article says she was burned trying to save people from a warehoue fire in Detroit.

  Wally West : Doesn't she have superpowers, though?

  Amaya Jiwe : This is all my fault. Ever since I lost my totem, the timeline must be starting to solidify. Which means, in this new reality, the totem was never passed down to her.

  Nate Heywood : So Mari is a vigilante without her totem.

• Nate Heywood : Your, um, daughter, she looks... she looks... different. No offense.

  Damien Darhk : None taken.

  [picking up a cattle prod] 

  Damien Darhk : Her face...

  Nate Heywood : How long has that been a situation?

  Damien Darhk : You know what? Since you're gonna die, I might as well tell you. The-the closer that Mallus gets to escaping his prison, the worse the situation gets. It... don't... stop looking... don't look at me. I'm just gonna... I'm just gonna... I'm sorry. It-it's not you. It... it's me. Torture just doesn't bring me the same joy anymore.

  Nate Heywood : It's okay, you're distracted. I get it. You made a deal with the devil, now he's come back to claim your little girl. Am I right?

  Damien Darhk : Yes! I mean, I-I-I... I wanted to burn the world down and re-build it in my image, not lose the person I was doing it for.

  Nate Heywood : Damien, this is deep stuff, man. Let's just keep digging. Let's keep digging. Just do me one favor.

  Damien Darhk : Yes, what?

  Nate Heywood : Can you lose the cattle prod? I mean, I'm gonna die anyway. Let's just make this a safe space.

• Amaya Jiwe : I have to go and talk to her.

  Nate Heywood : What? No, you cannot talk to your own granddaughter. That will cause...

  Amaya Jiwe : Unforseen consequences, I know, but how much worse can things truly get?

• Nate Heywood : Amaya, you have to believe you're in charge of your own destiny.

  Amaya Jiwe : You know, there are times that I wish I'd never set foot on this ship. If I'd never left 1942, I would've returned to Zambesi like I was supposed to, with no idea of the tragedy that awaited me. I would've died an old woman.

  Nate Heywood : Murdered by warlords. And you and I never would've met. And...

  [realization dawns on him] 

  Nate Heywood : Is that what you want, Amaya?

  Amaya Jiwe : I don't know, Nathaniel.

• Amaya Jiwe : Sara put me in charge while she steps away.

  Nate Heywood : All the more reason why you should stay on the ship. Okay? I'll go to Detroit, and I'll talk to her.

  Wally West : And I'll, uh... I'll help him.

  Nate Heywood : Yeah. There's nothing this dynamic duo cannot do.

  Amaya Jiwe : Okay, fine. Just be careful.

• Wally West : You're sure you saw Kuasa?

  Nate Heywood : Yeah. Just be on the lookout for a badass in a leather outfit. Or a suspicious puddle of water.

• Wally West : [spotting Kuasa]  Hey, there she is.

  [he speeds forward and grabs hold of her] 

  Wally West : I got her.

  [she turns into water and disappears into a vent] 

  Nate Heywood : Dude, don't just stand there.

• Nate Heywood : As soon as I catch my breath, we're gonna stop you from hurting your sister.

  Kuasa : Hurt Mari? I'm here to protect her. You idiots.

• Wally West : So this is Mari's Vixen Cave.

  Kuasa : Ever since my grandmother lost her totem, I figured I'd better start keeping tabs on her. It's a good thing I did.

  Nate Heywood : I thought you hated Mari.

  Kuasa : She's still my sister. And even though I resented her for inheriting the Anansi totem, I'd rather see it around her neck than on Nora Darhk's.

  Nate Heywood : So let's get it back to where it belongs.

• Kuasa : You wanna help me?

  Nate Heywood : We wanna help Amaya. You wanna help your sister. Either way, we have to get that totem back.

  Kuasa : The Darhks will kill me if I turn on them.

  Wally West : Don't worry. This isn't the first totem that we've lifted from under their noses.

  Nate Heywood : Soon we'll have five totems. Do you really wanna be one against five?

  Wally West : If we work together, we can defeat the Darhks, and Mallus.

  Nate Heywood : And you get to protect your family. Isn't that what you really want?

  Kuasa : Fine. But we do this my way.

• Nate Heywood : I think an ambush would work best in this situation.

  Kuasa : Sure. If you wanna die a quick death. Quite frankly, you two...

  Wally West : [playing around with something, he knocks items off a table]  Whoa.

  Kuasa : ...are no match for the Darhks.

  Nate Heywood : Okay. So what's your plan?

  Kuasa : We lure them to us. With bait.

  Nate Heywood : No. No, you are not using a totem.

  Kuasa : No. We have the next best thing. A Legend.

  Wally West : Wait, that's crazy. Why don't we just go to where they're at, I'll swipe it like I did the Fire totem.

  Kuasa : You overplayed your hand. Now they know you have a... whatever you are on the team.

  Wally West : What I am is the fastest man alive, thanks.

  Nate Heywood : [under his breath]  Second-fastest.

  Wally West : Shh. She didn't need to know that.

• Wally West : Shouldn't we be bringing Amaya into this?

  Nate Heywood , Kuasa : No.

  Nate Heywood : We already have one Vixen in the hospital as it is.

  Kuasa : Agreed. My grandmother will want to play the hero and get herself killed. If that happens, Mari and I will be wiped frome existence.

  Nate Heywood : Right, so we're gonna need you to keep her out of our hair.

  Wally West : But, I...

  Nate Heywood : I know, I know. I'll be fine. I just need you to keep an eye on Amaya.

• Kuasa : These chains won't be nearly as convincing if you can turn to steel.

  Nate Heywood : You know, I'm a good actor. I could have sold it.

• Kuasa : I once thought that losing this totem was the greatest threat to me and my family. But you are in love with my Nana Baa. And should she choose to love you in return, me and my sister will never even exist.

  Nate Heywood : This is not the plan.

  Kuasa : Plans change.

  Damien Darhk : [to Nora]  This is better than "The Brave and the Bold".

• Kuasa : For a PhD, you're remarkably gullible.

  Nate Heywood : Oh, Kuasa, you're better than this. Be the woman your grandmother believes you to be.

  Kuasa : I'm being the woman she knows me to be.

  [to Damien] 

  Kuasa : When you kill him, do it slowly.

• Nora Darhk : I must prepare for the master's arrival. I trust you'll be able to make him talk?

  Damien Darhk : No problem, Nora doll.

  Nate Heywood : Talk? You don't have to torture me to talk. The trick is you gotta get me to shut up.

  [with her powers, Nora chokes him] 

  Nate Heywood : It's not much of a trick.

• Nate Heywood : What are you doing here?

  Kuasa : I'm not here for you. Now get your ass up.

• Nora Darhk : [facing Nate, Amaya, and Kid Flash]  Hardly seems like a fair fight.

  Nate Heywood : Then I'd give up now.

  Nora Darhk : I was talking about all of you.

• Nate Heywood : If I had known that was gonna happen...

  Amaya Jiwe : It's not your fault.

  Nate Heywood : Still, I shouldn't have gone behind your back. And I shouldn't have tried to outsmart the Darhks on my own.

  Amaya Jiwe : You wanted me to have my totem back. And now I do.

  Nate Heywood : Come on, Amaya, just say it. I got Kuasa killed.

  Amaya Jiwe : I got my granddaughter killed.

  Nate Heywood : You? How?

  Amaya Jiwe : By goading her to be more like her sister. Kuasa wanted to prove that she was worthy of this. She died proving that I was wrong about her, by saving the life of a man who threatened her existence.

  Nate Heywood : Exactly, and if I didn't get captured, then Kuasa...

  Amaya Jiwe : Was doomed either way. I mean, that's how time works. Well, clearly, time wants my family to suffer.
