[watching Oliver writhing in a cell] You're strong. Like a piece of iron. You think you can resist any pain because you have. But the worst pain... is up here. [indicates his head] Locked away deep inside. That's what the drug is for. To show you everything. Your sins. Your failures. Your guilt. Your bloodlust. Your inhumanity.
[Oliver flashes back to, in turn, his killing Taianna, Shado's death, his bludgeoning Ivo's henchman, and his having learned to torture and kill from Waller. Kovar then slides a pistol into the cell. Oliver picks it up and shakily aims it at Kovar.]
That gun only has one bullet. You can waste it on me. But, I think we both know who's responsible for your pain. I've seen the strongest man resist for up to twelve minutes before... ending his suffering. Such is my respect for you that I... I think you can last for, um... [considers]... fourteen minutes. Dasvidanya.
