You want to tell me what's going on now?
Ra's predicted this. He said the city would turn against me and I would die alone. And when we come back, the first thing that happens is Lance shutting me out, and... I see Felicity with Palmer. It's like he looked into my future.
Sounds to me like Ra's is playing with your head. Question is, why are you letting him?
He wants me to take his place in the League of Assassins. That's why he let us go. As a sign of good faith.
Is there even a world where he can imagine you saying yes?
He said I can do more as the new Ra's than I can ever do as Oliver Queen or the Arrow. That I would have unlimited resources. That I could make a difference, not just a dent.
You're not really considering this. Just because Captain Lance is angry and Felicity is momentarily unavailable?
It's more than that. I just... John, tell me honestly... What have we accomplished?
[sighs] Oliver...
All the people that we put away, John, they got out. The city is no better off. The Arrow is not... is not making a difference. And if I just can't be me... and the Arrow isn't enough...
Oliver...
Then maybe I should be Ra's al Ghul.
