Scenes with Amaya Jiwe 40

[Zari has barricaded herself in the Parlor with the bomb.]

[emotional] Mick. You don't have to hide what you love. Follow your heart and keep writing.

Zari! We don't have time for this!

Nate and Amaya. I'm so lucky to call you guys my friends.

Amaya

Zari, the bomb!

What you guys have is so... so special. I mean, the way you look at each other... honestly, it makes me wanna puke, but... don't fight it. You're crazy about each other. Just don't have sex on missions.

Z, what are you doing?

What you would do, Ray. You know, when I first came on board, you were so nice and polite to me that I wanted to punch you. But I realize now, the world would be a better place if we were all a little more like you. But being nice and polite's only gonna get you so far, so do me a favor and tell Sara why you're so afraid of her.

Okay. Sure. But first, I wanna figure out how to shut down the force field so we can deal with the bomb.

I am dealing with the bomb.

Zari, look, you need to listen to me...

Sara, you're an infuriating, stubborn, pain in my ass. Because you have to be. You're not just the captain of this ship, you are its soul You are so fierce and unflinching. But why not apply some of that fearlessness to your own life and just ask poor Ava out already?

What's up?

Amaya

Nothing.

I said "what's up".

Amaya

Fine, you're an unbiased listener. I want to change my granddaughter Kuasa's past, and well, improve her future.

So do it.

Amaya

It's not that simple. What if I inadvertently change my other granddaughter's destiny?

So don't do it.

Amaya

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.

Take a look around. 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

Why did you become a pirate in the first place, eh?

BBlackbeard

Well,...

Amaya

To let an admiral get the best of you? Or, to claim your destiny on the wide open sea? I don't know what's waitin' for us on the other side of this journey. But whatever it is, it beats cowering in some alleyway waitin' for your black beard to turn gray.

BBlackbeard

I swore I'd never go back to that island... and I'm a man of me word. Fair winds, me hearties. [departs hastily]

[disbelieving] Blackbeard's... a coward.

[Amaya, still dressed as "Captain Jiwe", draws her sword on Nate.]

Amaya....

Amaya

You know, I learned something from hanging out with pirates. They always focus on the problem in front of them.

And what is that problem?

[Amaya uses the sword to cut a button off Nate's pirate shirt, then puts it right up to his throat and presses her body to his.]

Amaya

[seductively] Do you yield, sir?

[softly] Aye, Captain. [They start kissing.]

Amaya

Thank you for helping us. So how do you know Nathaniel?

I was kinda like his wingman back in Central City. Just... helped him get over a broken heart, actually, because this basic bitch just dumped him on his birthday. [amused] Can you believe that?

Amaya

[hard] Yeah. 'Cause I was actually that basic bitch.

Great vibe, Wally, I think we can take it from here.

I can't wait for you to see Elvis live. It's going to change your life.

Amaya

You really believe my life can be changed by one song.

Of course. Music is so much more than just song. Music's about identity. It's hearing a track for the first time and you think to yourself, "Wow, this is who I am." And I don't care how long it takes, we're gonna find your music, whether it be rock and roll or, God forbid, Ska.

Amaya

This totem wasn't meant for me. You have to use it.

Forget it.

Amaya

You spent your entire life obsessed with fire and heat. What if this is the reason why.

How may times do I have to tell you, I'm not a hero! Sara's a hero. And look what the Death totem did to her.

Amaya

That was the work of Mallus. Most people who've seen what you've seen would've succumbed to darkness, but you didn't. You chose to become a Legend. You may try and hide it, Mick, but you're a good man.

Amaya

There you are, Mick. You ready?

For what?

Amaya

Training. Do you remember? We spoke about learning to harness the powers of the totem.

Hmm. I know a neat trick. [extends his index finger] Pull my finger.

Amaya

What?

Pull my finger. [Amaya reaches for Mick's finger]

Do not pull his finger. Let's just say hot dogs aren't the only thing he's learned how to light on fire.

KKuasa

[talking about Nate] He's not my grandfather. Every moment that you spend with him is a threat to our entire family's future.

Amaya

How can you be so selfish?

KKuasa

You're the selfish one. Our family's destruction looms in 1992. You promised you'd save us. And yet you continuously search for ways to abandon your family and Zambesi.

Amaya

I have done everything in my power to try and redeem you. And in doing so, Mari got hurt. She understands that being a totem-bearer means protecting all people, not just our own. It's no wonder this totem ended up with Mari and not you. You're beyond redemption.

Look, just somebody's gotta say it, so I'm gonna say it–

This is all our fault.

Apparently I'm not gonna say it, but... yeah. We let Mallus out.

Well, whose stupid idea was it to fight him with some... magic necklaces?

Amaya

It wasn't the totems that failed. It was us.

Yeah, we might want to rethink that whole "We screw up things for the better" motto.
