[Diggle hits Adrian Chase and the guards separate them before General Walker walks in]
GWGeneral Walker
What the hell is going on here?
Adrian Chase
Your prisoner just decked me.
WWalker
[smirks] Unsatisfied with your legal counsel?
Adrian
Who knows? But, we are in Starling County, and in county code section 47.15, it specifically states that the District Attorney , me, can sue proceed transfers to other jurisdictions if the suspect commits a secondary crime within my jurisdiction. Attacking a city official is a very serious offense, Mr. Diggle. I think I'm gonna have to prosecute this one myself. It could take a while.
WWalker
Fine. I'll be back with a writ signed by the President.
Adrian
Can't wait. I've always wanted her autograph.
[Oliver walks in on a meeting between Adrian and city council members.]
Adrian
Mr. Mayor. I didn't think you'd be joining us this morning. I guess you know what I've been up to, huh?
Adrian
I've been working on addressing our sentencing policy for drug offences. Care to join?
I'd like to see you in my office, please.
Adrian
Actually, can it wait? The councilmen and I are on the clock. Besides, you're looking a little ragged. You tired? Or is it that you've actually been asleep this whole time?
[Oliver halts Adrian in a parking garage by putting an arrow through his car window.]
Adrian
Gonna try it this way now. [turns to face Oliver] I gotta tell ya, I don't know how that mask is gonna play here. Especially since the city's not too fond of your alter ego these days.
I'll give them the Throwing Star Killer. See how they feel.
Adrian
Wait, that's your big plan? Arresting me? Oh, man, that's a bit of a letdown, I have to say.
Well, I'm not gonna kill you. [puts his arrow away] If only because that's what you want me to do.
Adrian
Oh, you've done everything I've wanted so far. Did you really think I'd let all this end in a parking garage?
Adrian
I gave your girlfriend an exclusive. Wait. Are you still dating Susan Williams? I gotta tell you, buddy, it's been a little hard to keep track.
What did you do to her?!?
Adrian
[very calm] She's fine. Don't worry. As long as I'm around to make sure she gets some food and water. Starvation and dehydration. Terrible way to go. Bottom line: I die... she dies. I don't make it back to her in time, she dies. Now, you could try torturing me for her location. We both know what you're capable of in that department. But, I think that we both know what I'm capable of. So, Ollie... who do you think can last longer? Susan or me? [smiles] Oooh... I'm ten steps ahead of you and you haven't even figured out what game we're playing yet.
Adrian
[regarding the wounded and comatose Captain Pike] Life's just so fragile, isn't it? Decades of hopes and dreams, and in one moment, one little mistake, and it all just goes away. [turns to face Oliver]
I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone else.
Adrian
Really? Because so far, you haven't seemed able to do much to stop me. Susan's fine, by the way. Well,... alive, at any rate.
Me and my team are gonna find her. And when we do, the second that we do.... I'm gonna put an arrow right through your heart.
Adrian
You do realize how impotent you sound, right?
You think that this is a game? [grabs Adrian's coat and gets in his face] I don't feel like playing anymore.
Adrian
You don't have a choice, Oliver. If you kill me, you kill Susan. And she will be as dead as your mother. As Tommy. As Shado. As Laurel. As your friend Pike here, probably. All dead because of you. So go ahead. Kill me. Let's find out how much more loss you can take. Because I don't think it's much. I think you're one loss away from being destroyed.
Adrian
You've told yourself you kill because you have to. Confess, Oliver. You don't kill because you have to, so why? Why do you do it?
Adrian
What?
[softly] I wanted to. [screaming] I WANTED TO!! AND I LIKED IT!!
Adrian
I told you, Oliver. You infect every life you touch. Now do you realize why? It's because your crusade was based on a lie. You used your father's memory to justify a killing spree. There's a price to be paid for that, Oliver. Your mother paid it. Your friend Tommy paid it. Laurel. You really want to tell me that John Diggle and Felicity Smoak's lives are better having known you?
[weakly] You... promised to let me go.
Adrian
And I'm a man of my word. But first, I have a gift for you. [picks up a mini-torch and walks over to Oliver] This tattoo of yours. To be an American and named a captain in the Bratva. You've must've done something extraordinary. When you look at it, it must... it must remind you of such a victory. [lights the torch] Now when you look at it, you'll think about our time here together. And the secret that you confessed to me.
[still weak] Whatever pain I caused you... I'm sorry.
Adrian
I believe you, Oliver. I just don't care. [starts to burn off Oliver's Bratva tattoo]
[Oliver and Adrian are alone in the Mayor's office.]
What are you doing here? You won. It's over.
Adrian
What'd I ever say to give you that impression?
[Adrian puts a knife on the desk in front of Oliver.]
Adrian
Proving a point, so to speak.
You think I'm gonna stab the District Attorney in the middle of City Hall?
Adrian
You're an animal who enjoys murder, there's no telling what you'll do. And it's not like your alter ego can kill me. Not since the SCPD put me in protective custody since the Green Arrow slaughtered my wife. So you kill me in broad daylight. Or you let me live, knowing that there's nothing you can do.
[Oliver simply sits still and does nothing.]
Adrian
Disappointing. [turns and starts walking away] You can keep that knife.
Adrian
How'd you think you were gonna beat me, Oliver? We were both trained by the same teacher. Just one of the many things we have in common. You know, like both our fathers being horrible men.
I am not my father. I'm my own man.
Adrian
Yeah, a man who's gonna die knowing that my father's legacy killed everyone in this city he loved so much.
Your father's legacy. It's almost funny.
Adrian
[growing angry] What are you talking about? [brandishes his sword at Oliver] What are you talking about?!? What's so funny about my father's legacy?!?
Goodwin's lawyer. He represented your father.
Adrian
I knew that already.
You don't know what your father asked him to do. Adrian... he was going to disown you. Not because you're illegitimate. Because you're insane. You're sick. And your father knew it. You spent all this time trying to honor the memory of a man who was ashamed of you. No, my father wasn't perfect. But at least I know he never would have given up on me.
[Oliver has Adrian in a stranglehold.]
Adrian
It's over. But only if you do it. Do it, Oliver. And show everyone. Show them who you really are.
[agonizes, then decides] NO!
[Oliver lets Adrian go and walks away.]
That's who I was. That's who I WAS! BEFORE!! That's not who I am now. You can blame me for your father's death for the rest of your life. I'm done blaming myself for mine.
Adrian
[weakly] I knew it would come to this. Your son is dead, Oliver.
[There is a pause as everyone lets that sink in. Then, Oliver grabs Adrian and gets right in his face.]
[hard] I don't believe you. Because you're a liar. You're lying to me, to manipulate me into doing what you want. Adrian, here's the thing. If you are telling the truth... If you killed my son... I am never going to be the person you want me to be. Not ever. [throws Adrian to the ground]
Adrian
You won. Your son has his father back, and he'll learn exactly who his father was. Just like you learned who your father was, right? On these very same waters.
Adrian
William's younger than you were, so he's gonna be fine, you know? And you have each other.
Adrian
Which is good, Oliver, that's good. Because it's gonna be lonely. [pulls out a pistol] Without Mom. And Felicity. [puts the gun to his head]
[Adrian Chase fatally shoots himself, triggering the Dead man's switch inside him. This sets off the explosives buried all across the island. The island of Lian Yu's destruction begins as Oliver and William look on.]
[Oliver is being tormented by a Vertigo-induced hallucination of Adrian Chase.]
Adrian
Hey. What's Vertigo do? Does it show you your worst fear?
You're not my worst fear, Adrian. You're nowhere close.
Adrian
Oh. I know. Your worst fear is yourself. Your worst enemy is yourself. Guys like me, Ricardo Diaz, Damian Darhk, Ra's al Ghul, when it comes to destroying you, Oliver... we all come in second place. You're the one enemy you can't defeat.
ACAdrian Chase (Earth-2)
You're from a parallel universe, aren't you? The Hood from another reality?
AAdrian (E-2)
Bruce Wayne once told me that if you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
Well, as The Hood from a parallel universe, may I offer you some advice? Change "The Hood" to Green Arrow. Trust me.
