- Nora Darhk: Finally, the cage is breaking. I can feel his arrival.
- Damien Darhk: [sarcastic] Oh, goody.
- Nora Darhk: We were so close. My master was escaping his bonds. What happened?
- Damien Darhk: Grodd's mission must have failed. Maybe that could be a good thing. It gives you and me time to figure out what the big guy's arrival really means.
- Nora Darhk: It means the end of history. A chance for us to live as gods.
- Damien Darhk: As gods? Man, that sounds fantastic and all. But what I just saw, it seems like there won't be a "you" anymore. It'll just be... him.
- Nora Darhk: That's what we always wanted. Isn't it?
- Damien Darhk: Totally. 100%. You know, I'm just gonna check on our grumpy gorilla and see how he screwed this thing up. I'll see you later.
- Nora Darhk: No, you won't.
- Damien Darhk: Of course. 'Cause once I complete Grodd's mission, you will be gone. What I meant to say was I'll see Mallus later.
- [giving her a hug]
- Damien Darhk: Goodbye, Nora doll.
- Sara Lance: You're not getting Obama.
- Damien Darhk: I'm not here for him. I'm here for my daughter. And I need your help.
- Damien Darhk: I assure you, this is completely unnecessary. I come, as they say, in peace.
- Sara Lance: And I, as they say, think you're full of crap.
- Damien Darhk: I'm a changed man, Sara.
- Sara Lance: The only change I want to see you go through is from alive to dead.
- Sara Lance: Ray, how we doing with Constantine's spell?
- Ray Palmer: Just need one more splash of bat spleen. Sorry, bat. And that should do it.
- [nothing happens]
- Ray Palmer: Maybe I missed an ingredient.
- Damien Darhk: Your ankh symbol, it's... it's upside down.
- Ray Palmer: Uh...
- Mick Rory: No, it's not.
- Damien Darhk: Yes, it is.
- Mick Rory: No, it's not!
- Damien Darhk: I knew it'd be difficult to get you guys to trust me. Hmm.
- Rip Hunter: Try impossible.
- Damien Darhk: [holding up a blue gem] Which is why I brought this gesture of good faith.
- Ray Palmer: The Water totem.
- Damien Darhk: I borrowed it from my daughter after she ripped it from Kuasa's chest. Sorry about that, by the way.
- Damien Darhk: Do you guys mind if I give you a hand with this? You seem to be struggling a bit.
- [Mick shrugs]
- Damien Darhk: Yeah? Okay, great.
- [Darhk uses his powers, and a force field activates]
- Ray Palmer: Cool. Uh, now, uh, try to choke me.
- Damien Darhk: Really?
- Ray Palmer: Yeah.
- [Darhk tries, but nothing happens]
- Ray Palmer: [laughs] You... you can't.
- Damien Darhk: Satisfied?
- Ray Palmer: Yeah.
- Damien Darhk: That Water totem's gotta be worth something. With all six, you guys might actually have a chance against Mallus.
- Ava Sharpe: You mean the same demon you've been creating anachronisms to release?
- Damien Darhk: That was before I realized what our partnership would cost me.
- Ray Palmer: Nora.
- Damien Darhk: Dies the moment the demon escapes. I know this might rankle you a bit, Sara, but our interests are aligned. We can save Nora and stop Mallus from being freed, together.
- Sara Lance: No.
- Damien Darhk: Excuse me?
- Sara Lance: Rory, kill him.
- Ray Palmer: I know Damien has done terrible things in his past which cannot be forgiven, but I... I know that he loves his daughter. We can't just kil him.
- Sara Lance: He was already dead. Killing him would be repairing an anachronism.
- Rip Hunter: Yeah, so would incarcerating him in the Bureau.
- Ava Sharpe: I agree with Rip. We need to think through this situation rationally.
- Mick Rory: Boss?
- Sara Lance: [after a moment of consideration] Stand down.
- Damien Darhk: [Mick lowers his heat gun] I'm glad to see you came to your senses.
- Sara Lance: [leaving] Think this makes us straight, you're wrong.
- Damien Darhk: Oh, hi, guys. I do hope you're not feeling all killy-killy, stabby-stabby.
- Sara Lance: I want you to listen to me carefully. I don't believe for a second that you've changed. You're still the same cowardly son of a bitch that put an arrow in my sister. But I will work with you to defeat Mallus under one condition. After this is over, I'm putting you back in the ground where you belong.
- Damien Darhk: Deal.
- Damien Darhk: So, do any of these flashing screens actually do anything?
- Sara Lance: Focus, Damien. How do we capture your demon daughter?
- Rip Hunter: Uh, if we coordinate a strike between the Legends and the Time Bureau, we might be able to take her down.
- Damien Darhk: How did that work for you in Victorian London? Besides, my little angel's only gotten more powerful since.
- Rip Hunter: What if we just ask Nora nicely? I did have a bit of a connection with her in Berlin.
- [seeing Damien's look]
- Ray Palmer: Not that kind.
- Sara Lance: All right, maybe she'll listen to her dear old dad.
- Damien Darhk: Not anymore. Nora only listens to Mallus now. He's always in her ear.
- Ray Palmer: [getting an idea] That's it. What if I got inside Nora?
- [seeing Damien's expression]
- Ray Palmer: Not like that. What if I shrunk down, flew into her ear, and pretended to be Mallus?
- Damien Darhk: Okay, new guy on the team here. Is that a joke plan or a real plan?
- Ava Sharpe: We are so screwed.
- Nora Darhk: Why am I still here? Why is the master still in prison? You failed me!
- Damien Darhk: I know, it's terrible. The Legends captured Grodd, and this whole Obama thing is just not working, so perhaps Mallus can advise us as to what to do next.
- Nora Darhk: Mallus only speaks when he desires. I can't just summon him.
- Nora Darhk: [on the Waverider, Damien activates the Legends' trap] What is this?
- Damien Darhk: I'm sorry, sweetheart, but it's for your own good.
- Damien Darhk: I get it. You think that I failed you because I joined with the Legends and trapped you here. Well, you're right. I did fail you. But that's not how. I was a terrible father. I was obsessed with world domination. Because of that... I died, leaving you all alone as a child, trapped with my name and my foolish dreams. Oh, I turned you into a demon long before Mallus did. It's why I'm begging you, do not let him take you away from me.
- Mallus: Your daughter is long gone.
- Damien Darhk: No! I know you can hear me. Fight him!
- Mallus: Oh, there was no fight. Her soul... her flesh... were freely given.
- Damien Darhk: You sick son of a bitch.
- Mallus: One more alteration to the timeline and my cage crumbles.
- Damien Darhk: Nora's gone. It's just Mallus now. You must be enjoying this, seeing your nemesis with a broken heart.
- Sara Lance: I didn't know you had a heart to break. Where was it the night you murdered my sister?
- Damien Darhk: Look, what I did was unforgivable. But back then, I hadn't loved anyone enough to understand the pain that I caused. Not that it's any comfort, but if I could take it all back, I would.
- Sara Lance: We all have regrets. But we can't undo the things that we've done.
- Damien Darhk: True. But even the worst of us can be made whole again.
- Damien Darhk: League to Legend to killer to captain. That's not a bad makeover, is it?
- Sara Lance: It's not good enough.
- Damien Darhk: Why? Because you put on the Death totem and almost killed your entire team?
- Sara Lance: Yes.
- Damien Darhk: But you didn't, did you? You know why? Same reason I'm spilling my guts to a woman who's imagined my death a thousand times over.
- Sara Lance: More like ten thousand.
- Damien Darhk: Love! Sara. 'Cause without it, people like us, we're left alone with the darkness. That's not good for anyone, is it?
- Sara Lance: Constantine said the only reason they couldn't kill Mallus was because the Death totem betrayed them. And that's not gonna happen this time.
- Rip Hunter: How can you be so sure? I needn't remind you what happened the last time you tried to wield it.
- Damien Darhk: [entering] She won't have to wield it. I will. The Death totem was attracted to Captain Lance because of a unique quality we both share. We were both brought back from the dead. Plus, I have a personal stake in wanting to send Mallus straight to hell. He took my little girl.
- Rip Hunter: True as that may be, there is no chance that Captain Lance would trust you with such a dangerous weapon.
- Sara Lance: [tossing the totem to him] Death totem's all yours.
- Amaya Jiwe: So you're working with Damien Darhk?
- Sara Lance: Please don't rub it in.
- Amaya Jiwe: And you're letting him wield the Death totem.
- Damien Darhk: In order to do justice for someone I love. Sure you can understand that.
- Amaya Jiwe: Thankfully, that is our only similarity.
- Damien Darhk: You're here, but... how? The totem means you're dead.
- Nora Darhk: No, not yet. Mallus is trying to take me, but I'm still fighting him. For now. But dad? I made a mistake. I'm sorry. I don't want him to take me. Please don't let him take me. I'm scared.
- Sara Lance: [entering] You ready?
- Damien Darhk: [looking around, he sees the apparition of Nora has vanished] Yeah, let's do this before it's too late.
