I thought there was going to be... orientation.
Did the brochure say that?
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
When I got to know you, the real you, I was in awe. I had never met somebody so passionate, so focused and determined to make a real difference. But the recruits didn't get to see the real you because all you showed them was this angry guy in a mask. Like, scary angry.
I just thought that if they didn't know who I was, it would make things easier ... For me. Easier for me. When I was in the Bratva ... Nobody in the Bratva uses their real names. Nobody knows anything about anyone's life before they were Bratva.
Sounds lonely.
It's effective. They teach you that the only person you can trust is yourself, that without personal attachment, there can be no loss. Laurel, Thea, Dig, even Roy, I let them into my crusade. I let them in ...
Then they left.
I was protecting myself.
I just think you're missing something.
Only one thing?
The reason the original team worked so well was because of the trust and respect that everyone had for Oliver Queen, not the Green Arrow. Oliver is the one who makes a good leader. He's the one that runs a good team. He's the one that I chose to stand by and that I continue to choose to stand by.
Your father didn't give up his life so you could become a killer.
RRagman
You don't know that.
My father gave up his life to save mine. He made me promise to be better than him, to save this city in a way that he never could. It's been nearly 10 years since that day. So far, I've failed.
RRagman
Why are you telling me this?
Because I don't want to fail anymore. I can't do it alone. I need a team. Let's honor the legacies of our fathers together.
Does he know? Rory, I mean.
No, that I destroyed his hometown with a nuclear missile five months ago. No, it hasn't come up.
You didn't destroy anything, Felicity. That was Damien Dahrk.
Dahrk sent the missile to Monument Point. I sent the missile to Havenrock. I killed tens of thousands of people.
To save billions.
Tell that to Rory's family.
I wanna help, too.
I think you've done enough.
Sorry about before, but I get it now. I'll do whatever you need.
What I need is to trust that when I do ask for your help, you're not immediately gonna make the problem worse.
He said he was sorry. Let us help.
Yeah, we could canvass the city.
Look what happened the last time you went looking for Samson. Pass.
Six of hearts, c'mon six of hearts, where are you? My kingdom for a six of hearts!
Why don't you just shut up for five minutes and I won't have to kill you?
Whooo, there's that temper. Good thing your kid won't have to grow up with it like your brother did.
What'd you say to me?
How's all that going anyway? You ever find that group that paid me to off him?
They didn't.
What's that now?
They didn't want him dead. He was alive.
Like I said, hell of a world, ain't it? I mean... Wait, did you just say he was alive, just now? Huh? Hello, John? Anybody home?
'Cause I killed him! [flashes back to the moment of killing Andy]
So all that hate you poured into me for killing your brother, you really should've been pouring it into yourself.
Bratva. Do you know what this word means?
"Brotherhood".
Da. If you are hungry, brothers will feed you. If you are hurt, brothers bring ten times pain to men responsible. If one brother succeeds, all brothers rich. If one brother fails, all brothers suffer. Your brothers would kill for you, would die for you, as you would kill and die for them.
Well, as promised, I will stay on until I can find a more qualified and experienced replacement.
I don't want experience. I want someone that I can trust, Speedy, and that person is you.
I messed up Ollie. Big time.
[secretary opens door and Oliver nods at her]
No, Thea, you didn't. Follow me.
[Oliver walks out to address a press conference]
Thank you all for coming. I'd like to address head-on, and with brutal honesty, some of the recent reports regarding my administration. Reports that suggest that while voters may have elected me, others have been making decisions in my stead. Truth of the matter is, that every decision made by any member of my administration is my decision. The buck, as they say, stops with me. Because when you are in charge, everything that your team does is on you, and I trust my team. [Quentin walks in from a side room] That team will be include former police captain Quentin Lance, who'll be serving beside me as Deputy Mayor.
I appreciate the vote of confidence, Mr. Mayor.
You're the right man for the job. Trust me.
Ragman should be here.
Overwatch, do you have a 20 on Ragman?
I texted him, like, 10 times and then 10 more, but nada.
Maybe he's sick. I mean, the flu's been going around, and by the looks of those rags, he does not hit the drycleaner very often.
Another robbery in progress at...
Palmer Tech! I got to call Oliver.
Or maybe don't, and we'll just let them get robbed. It will serve Mr. Dennis right for firing us.
He fired me. You quit.
Because he fired you. Same thing.
[calls Oliver] Oliver! We have a robbery in progress at Palmer Tech.
[Oliver is revealed to be the robber] Yeah?!
Second test over. Do not make any worse by pulling out suture.
Anatoly, if this is how the Bratva treat their new members, I'd hate to see how they treat their enemies.
Pass third and final test, find out.
Do I even want to ask how you found me?
Is that a trick question?
Things have really fallen apart without Oliver, haven't they?
[walking in] It's a good thing I'm back then.
Was he waiting for an entrance line?
No, he's just that cool.
CChurch
How you feeling, my friend?
You can keep it up with the foreplay, but I'm never giving you what you want.
CChurch
You remind me of this other guy I once tortured. Maybe bigger. More muscle on the frame. I was conversing with this son-of-a-bitch, just like you and I have been conversing for the past...what? Twenty hours or so? Knuckles hurt, even with the brass. Needed a shower, my lady was waiting for me. This guy would just not give me what I needed. Not unlike you. So I said to myself, "Tobias, make this guy feel pain like nobody who's ever lived". And then it clicked. It's not the pain that breaks people. It's fear. Fear of that pain. Of what that pain brings. What happens next. [gets up and walks off]
You're not gonna finish the story?
CChurch
Huh? Oh. I got what I wanted from that guy. So you might want to think about that the next time I ask you a question.
[walks into the Arrow cave] Wow, this place just got really crowded. Hey. [embraces Felicity]
Do people just walk into your secret base of operations?
FCFelicity and Curtis
Yes.
This is...
Spartan... I'm guessing.
You guys must be the new kids on the block.
More like the Backstreet Boys. [chuckles] It was funny in my head.
