Emiko Queen quotes from Arrow

Emiko Queen

The world is not a fair place. Innocent people die while the guilty go free. The system is broken, filled with corruption, greed, and apathy. The people who are supposed to protect us are failing us. Criminals continue to walk the streets because no one is willing to stop them. The world may not be fair, but everyone deserves justice and someone looking out for them.

Oliver

I can prove to you that I'm nothing like him.

Emiko

You're a Queen. All you know is how to leverage your own privilege to help yourself.

Oliver

What happened to you was wrong. You should have been a part of our lives. You should be a part of my life now.

Emiko

Why do you think I want anything to do with the Queens? 'Cause your family destroys anything it touches.

Oliver

I just want a chance. Just give me a chance. Emiko... you're my sister.

Emiko

I have no family.

Emiko

So are you just gonna not ask me about it? You have nothing to say about the fact that I've been secretly working for the Ninth Circle?

Rene

I know you well enough not to pry, and you did try to keep me out of your mission when we first met.

Emiko

I didn't want you to get mixed up with them, but I... I should have told you the truth so you'd know what you were really getting into working with me. I bet you wish you'd listened when I told you to stay away.

Rene

If you think I regret teaming up with you, I don't. We're still partners, Emiko, no matter who we're up against.

Oliver

You've been lying this entire time, everything about our father, your debt to Dante?

Emiko

It was all true, but I never needed you to put me back together. I just knew you'd try. Can't resist playing the hero, can you?

Oliver

You went looking for a family, and you chose The Ninth Circle?

Emiko

Better than living as a Queen.

Emiko

You disobeyed a direct order.

I gave you that dagger. The weapons test failed because of your brother's involvement. Any more mistakes, and the rest of the Ninth Circle will mutiny.

Emiko

I am their leader.

Then lead. Where is your focus at thids critical time? The family you swore to give up to be part of the Ninth Circle. Your absence has been noted.

Emiko

Thanks to my time with Oliver, I found something even better. The Archer program, cutting-edge surveillance technology.

We can't stake our future on technology we haven't even seen.

Emiko

I need you to trust my vision, okay? Trust that you have taught me well, but if you question my authority again, I'll kill you.

Rene

Emiko, it's not too late. Let me help you.

Emiko

I don't need your help. I spared you once. This time, I won't be so generous.

Rene

Why are you doing this?

Emiko

Because the Queens took everything from me. Now it's my turn to take everything from them.

Rene

[holstering his pistol] This isn't you. You care about the Glades. You're dressed as the new Green Arrow, and you killed Dante.

Emiko

And that proves what, exactly?

Rene

That finding your mother's killer means more to you than the Ninth Circle. Why else would you risk murdering their leader?

Emiko

You really don't get it. Dante wasn't their leader. I am.

Rene

Your mother would hate what you've become.

Oliver

What do you want?

Emiko

For you to suffer the way I suffered. You and your team are gonna die in there. And I will be out there destroying your legacy. You'll die a villain just like our father did, and I will be the cause of both of your deaths. And justice will finally be served.

Oliver

What did you say?

Emiko

I had the chance to warn our father about the Gambit. It was rigged to explode, and I knew about it. I let our father die because he didn't deserve to live. And neither do you. [holding up a detonator] Bye, brother.
