"I still don't understand why we have to take the Queen Anne's Revenge. Can't we take your ship?" Blackbeard asked Laurel as they, plus Laurel's 'crew' walked towards the harbor.

"Be grateful the dread pirate queen is willing to help you at all. If she wanted to, she could simply use her siren's curse to torture you until you gave us the location of the emerald necklace." Mari said.

"She wouldn't dare." Blackbeard said.

"Don't tempt me." Laurel said angrily, since right now, her daughter's fate hinged on this idiot cooperating.

"Perhaps you should give him a taste of what will happen to him if he tries to play any traditional pirate games with us." Nate suggested.

"Not a bad idea. I hope you don't need your ears anytime soon." Laurel said.

"No, that won't be necessary." Blackbeard said quickly, making Laurel grin slightly, since she knew now that she'd gotten Blackbeard, probably the scariest pirate in history, to be afraid of her. That was slightly satisfying.

"I see you've come back to try again. You really think you can get me to turn on Mallus?" Nora asked as she heard Oliver enter the brig.

"Maybe not. But I figured you should at least see the person you're working to doom." Oliver said as Nora turned to see Oliver standing outside her cell, holding a baby in his arms.

"My daughter Jasmine. Mallus is seeking her out as his host once she gets old enough that he can safely possess her.

"Why show me this?" Nora asked.

"Because unlike me and your father, Jasmine is innocent. She never did anything to anyone. Can you honestly say that she deserves to become a demon's puppet." Oliver asked.

"Better her than me." Nora said.

"Excuse me?" Oliver demanded.

"I would've been Mallus's vessel if it weren't for her." Nora said.

"So you're willing to let an innocent child suffer at the hands of a demon in order to save your own skin?" Oliver asked incredulously.

"You took one of the people I care about the most from me. I'm simply returning the favor." Nora said.

"You're willing to doom an innocent child out of spite. That's low, even for a Darhk. But then again, I guess your family really will leave a legacy evil behind. Your father left behind a legacy of fear and evil. You could've changed the way your family is seen, left a better legacy for the Darhks. But I guess all people will ever see your family as is the monsters under the bed." Oliver said.

"My father could've fixed the world." Nora said.

"He was going to burn it down and rebuild it in his twisted image. He wasn't any kind of hero. He was a maniac. But you Nora, I don't think you really are one." Oliver said.

"What?" Nora asked, shocked he'd say that.

"I didn't know your father well, but from what I could tell from what I heard about him from Ra's al Ghul and my research on him, if there was one thing he did care about was his family. He wouldn't have wanted this life for you. Honestly, I'm betting he was doing what he was doing for you." Oliver said.

"Well I guess I wouldn't know since I can't exactly ask him." Nora growled as Constantine entered the brig.

"Actually, with my help, there may be a way that you can." Constantine said.
