Amaya
Now the Spear of Destiny is in the hand of not just one, but four psychopaths.
That's right. We trusted him and he screwed us over.
Did we? Trust him? I admit it, we never really did, and he picked up on it.
Apparently, Mr. Rory is not entirely stupid.
Now remember, you guys are going in there without your powers.
Don't worry. I know that place like the back of my hand.
Amaya
What about Mick?
Mick's staying here. We can't trust him. [to Mick] Not after what you've done.
After what I've done? If it wasn't for me, you'd all be walking around like sheep.
If it wasn't for you, we never would've been turned into sheep in the first place. We trusted you, Mick. We can't afford to make that mistake again.
[After a melee between the Legends and the Legion, Mick recovers the Spear.]
Nice work, Mick. Now hand it over.
Mick, no. You already gave it to them once. You know what happened.
That was Thawne. This time will be different, big boy.
Amaya
Mick. I don't care what anyone else thinks. I still believe in you.
ENOUGH! Mick... hand it over. Like a good boy.
You mean "a good dog". That's all I am to you. An attack dog.
Now that's not true. Sure, we both know you're not the sharpest tool in the shed, but... that's why we're partners. Remember?
You're right. I'm not a genius. [tosses the Spear in front of Amaya] But I'm no one's dog, Leonard. Not anymore.
Mick, you wanna do the honors, plot a course? You earned it.
Gideon, set a course for Aruba.
Roger that, Mr. Rory. Setting a course for Aruba, the year 2017.
[Turbulence rocks the Waverider.]
Amaya
What was that?
This is what happens when you put Mr. Rory in charge of navigation.
[The Waverider is shaken harder.]
In fact, it was another time-storm. It seems the disruption you created in 1916 was just the start.
[The Waverider is ejected from the temporal zone]
We've been ejected out of the temporal zone!
Get ready for a hard landing.
Oh, come on! Can we please go five minutes without crashing the Waverider?
[The Waverider smashes through buildings and crashes to the ground.]
No. This is Los Angeles 2017.
[Everyone gazes out the front windows.]
Guys... I think we broke time.
[Zoom-out to show dinosaurs and futuristic buildings in modern-day Los Angeles.]
Amaya
I didn't go to Zambesi. Not right away. First, I went to Detroit.
Amaya
I had to see her in person. Mari. My granddaughter. I had to see if she was as incredible as people said she was. I watched her save five people in one night. She never knew I was there, but I knew that she was perfect. I know it doesn't help, but my decision to leave had nothing to do with you.
You're right, it doesn't. 'Cause if your "Bad-at-it" granddaughter was in 2017, why'd you have to go back to 1942?
Amaya
I asked Rip the same question. He said that time hadn't yet solidified. But if I stayed too long in 2017, then Mari would disappear.
Why didn't you say anything? [pause] I hated you for what you did.
Amaya
I needed you to hate me. So that you would move on. If you knew how much it hurt me -
Amaya
I wanted to protect my granddaughter, and I wanted to protect you.
Well, no offense, Amaya, but considering we're both stuck in a rhino cage, I'd say your plan backfired.
[Amaya wakes up from sleepwalking, during which she had taken the form of a spider]
Amaya
I was having a nightmare.
And in the process, summoned the ashay of a spider. Astonishing!
Amaya
No, Martin, it isn't. What if I summoned a rhino and I crashed through the hull of the ship? Or a lion and I mauled someone?
Well, if the victim was Mr. Rory, I guess...
Amaya
What is this place?
ASAmaya's Ancestor
You are in the world between worlds.
Amaya
Who are you?
ASAmaya's Ancestor
I am your blood, I am all who have come before you. [takes Amaya's hand] I can feel the fear inside you. It is a burden that weighs heavy on your heart.
Amaya
My totem. I can feel it growing stronger. I fear that I'm losing control over it.
ASAmaya's Ancestor
You can't stop the forces of nature. No more than you can stop a charging stallion. You must learn to run beside it.
Amaya
Why is it getting stronger?
ASAmaya's Ancestor
The totem's strength grows when the threats that you must face become more powerful. But you cannot face this new threat alone. You must find the girl. She needs your protection. Do not fail this, new totem-bearer. Do not resist your power. Trust in it.
Amaya
I'm concerned about you. I know that you think that woman channeled your brother.
His name was Behrad. The night A.R.G.U.S. came for us, I ran. I knew he was staying to fight, but I was scared. I left my brother there to die. You happy? Now you know my secret.
Amaya
Sorry–
[removes her amulet] Yeah, I don't want this anymore, whatever's going on with it or with us, I... I don't care.
Amaya
That totem is your only remaining connection to him.
It's not a connection. It's a reminder... that I should've been the one who died.
[inside Jax's body] Yes. Pray tell, Doctor Palmer, what exactly happened to us, because it seems we are in a particularly precarious situation that I, for one, have no idea how to remedy.
[inside Stein's body] Why don't we just merge?
[inside Jax] Out of the question! Absolutely not. We have switched bodies. Who knows what else may have shifted. Merging now could cause a meltdown of insurmountable proportions. We just... we just can't afford the risk.
[Nate laughs hysterically, partly due to lack of sleep.]
[still amused, pointing to Jax] You're the Professor, [points to Stein] and you're Jax. [starts laughing again] They switched.
[to herself] Must be Tuesday.
[Amaya and Zari enter the room.]
Amaya
What's going on?
Oh, we seem to have a bit of a Freaky Friday situation
[inside Jax] And I'm Martin.
[Amaya is punching a punching bag while Nate steadies it]
Everything okay? You're hitting the bag like it's insulting your mother. And you haven't said anything for like, thirty minutes.
Amaya
What is there to say?
I don't know, talk about your granddaughter? [Amaya resumes punching the bag] And not the superhero either, the psycho water witch.
Amaya
The who?
Your granddaughter. I mean, I'm sure she's really not that bad.
Amaya
You just called her a psycho water witch.
Yeah, and I instantly regret it. I'm she just, you know, confused.
Amaya
Well, I'm not. Kuasa and I will confront each other again. It's inevitable. When we do, I won't hesitate to stop her, even if she is my granddaughter. [leaves]
Okay, good talk. Good to get the emotions out.
DRDick Rory
They say life is the sum total of all the choices you make. As your misfortune sinks in, maybe you want to ask yourself: "What choices did I make to find myself here?" Today, I want payback for what that monster did to my men, my brothers.
We're... we're journalists–
And we've uncovered a plot to kill President Johnson. We need to alert the proper authorities.
Amaya
The president landed in Vietnam, but we can still save him.
DDick
You're reporters. What are you gonna do? Question him to safety?
It's a little more complicated than that, but just trust me, okay? We're the good guys.
DDick
Haven't you heard? There are no good guys here.
Man, can you believe Sara? She doesn't trust me around young Stein!
So you're saying you weren't planning on warning Martin about him dying?
Okay, fine. But c'mon man. Gray dies, and then all of a sudden his younger self gets displaced in time?
I know, it's crazy that we keep bumping into ourselves.
I mean, Ray and the baby Dominator, and Sir Stein and his killer 'stache?
Mick's dad. I mean, this can't just be a coincidence. [Amaya and Ray walk in] What if this is fate's way of saying we should step up? That we can actually improve things?
Amaya
Martin made his choice, Jax. We should be honoring his sacrifice, not trying to undo it.
Yeah, but it's Gray. I mean, how can we not tell him?
Because what if knowing about his death makes young Marty choose not to create the Firestorm matrix? Or meet you? Or step foot on the ship? He never would've wanted you to risk the present to save him in the past.
And how exactly do you know what he would've wanted, Ray? You weren't psychically connected to him for three years!
Okay, here's the deal. Back-up is not coming. The Time Bureau thinks the Darhks can't be defeated, and they're probably right. Leo asked us to talk about our feelings. Well, my feeling is that history needs us to stop the Darhks, but after losing Stein I can't lose anyone else. I need you guys to take the Waverider and leave.
Amaya
You can't face Darhk alone.
[The others are talking while Mick is trying to watch his first live football game in three years.]
Z, will you please tell her that talking to Kuasa is a bad idea?
Amaya
Thank you. I refuse to accept that my granddaughter is pure evil.
Fine. She's eighty-nine percent evil.
Guys! I think Sara is in trouble.
QUIET!! Haircut! Take the new girl. Find Blondie, Fake Snart and Trenchcoat. Amaya, the med-bay. Pretty, the library. Water Bitch? Stays in the freezer.
[Chastened and somewhat intimidated, the others leave for their assignments.]
You know, Mick? You're really showing some management potential.
