Arrow · Season 1
That's not true. I wanted to kill Roy because that's what I do. That's who I am. I spent six years in the darkness and I looked into the eyes of the devil and I gave him my soul.
I can help you get it back.
No. You deserve someone better. You can harness that light that's still inside of you, but I'm not that person and I never will be.
You're really cute when you're mopey.
I'm not mopey.
Mopey's your default Ollie. It's part of your smoldering charm.
I do have smoldering charm.
[talking about Thea] Thanks for taking care of her.
Lucky for me, she's not as good at disappearing as you are.
I don't even know why I'm crying. I didn't even like Moira. Terrible thing to say about someone after they've just died. In my defense, she was not nice. She was diabolical. Not a word you often hear at someone's funeral.
You're not crying for her, Felicity, you're crying for Oliver.
Where is he? How could he not be here?
I don't know...
If Oliver's smart... He ran back to his island to hide. But maybe he'll attend your funerals.
[works on fixing the submarine] Like riding bicycle. Underwater.
Submarines have torpedoes, right? Can't we blast our way out?
I can see why you two are made for each other. You like your explosions.
She's dead because of me. Five years ago, I could have cured Slade, and that would have prevented all of this. And now, all the people left that I care about, we're all in his crosshairs. It ends tonight.
How?
I turn myself over to Slade. I end this vendetta.
Oliver, you think this ends with you turning yourself over to Slade?
Yes, I do. After she was gone... he told me that one more person had to die, and then it would end. This ends for Slade when he kills me.
I don't accept that. You shouldn't either. You can't just accept things, Oliver. If I had accepted my life, I would be a cocktail waitress in Vegas like my mother, and I never would have gone to college, and I never would have moved a thousand miles away to work at Queen Consolidated, and I never would have believed some crazy guy in a hood when he told me I could be more than just some IT girl. Please, don't do this.
Felicity...someone once told me that the essence of heroism is to die so others can live.
It's not that simple, Oliver.
Yes, it is. Slade's whole plan was to take everything from me, and he did. He wins. All that's left is for me to die.
No, there has to be another way.
There isn't.
Clinton Hogue. I have some questions for you.
Go to hell.
You sure that's how you want to play it?
You think I've never taken a beating before?
Pal, you're going to wish I beat you.
Hi. I'll be your interrogator.
Is this a joke?
Clinton Hogue. Social security number 306003894.
What the hell's this supposed to be?
Oh, look at this. You have a bank account in the Cayman Islands. Wow. $2 million, quite the little nest egg. But... looks like you just approved a wire transfer of $1 million to a charity here in Starling City. Very generous. What should I do with the rest?
Greenpeace.
Great cause! And they really appreciate support.
You bitch!
Bitch with wi-fi.
You're a good man, Anatoly. If this is goodbye, be safe.
I will see you soon. You and Sara.
I meant what I said. If we're not back in an hour, you sink the freighter and get yourself home.
I think maybe I prefer Bahamas.
Lieutenant. Listen to me, these guys, have you seem them? Huh? Have you seen these guys? They do not go down. We gotta call in the National Guard.
That's a call for the mayor. And he hasn't made that yet.
And he won't. Mayor Blood let this happen.
What?
Trust me. Blood's behind this.
Look, even if I believe you, I don't have that kind of authority.
Well, in an emergency, the chief of police does, so get him on the line.
Chief's dead.
Well, then... There's only one more guy to we can call. You're not gonna like it.
The vigilante.
The Arrow. Lieutenant, I know he's breaking the law. But what we're up against, it's not about the law. It's about survival. We got masks tearing our city to pieces, and we're gonna need a mask to stop 'em.
Make the call.
You don't know, Laurel, about me. About who I am, and who I've become.
I know you're a hero.
I'm not a hero... Laurel. I'm the furthest thing from it. I am "Ta-er al-Sahfer." That was my new name. Because of the woman that I was, the girl that I was, is gone.
I'm not going to pretend that I've been through anything that you have. But one thing that I've learned in the past year is that these things... they don't break us. They make us who we are.
And what I am... is irredeemable.
What was that word you said before?
Ta-er al-Sahfer.
What does that mean?
It means "The Canary".
If you're so far gone and so irredeemable... then why would they know you by such a beautiful name?
I didn't know, Felicity. Five years ago, I was a completely different person. And I had... no idea that something like this was even... possible. I couldn't have imagined. When you and Diggle brought me back to Starling City, I made a vow to myself that I would never let anything like the Undertaking happen again.
What's happening now is not your fault.
Yes, it is. I have failed this city. Yao Fei. Shado. Tommy. My father, my mother. All that I ever wanted to do is honor those people.
You honor the dead by fighting and you're not done fighting! Malcolm Merlyn, The Count, The Clock King, the Triad... Everyone who was trying to hurt this city, you stopped them. And you will stop Slade.
I don't know how.
Neither do I. But I do know two things: You are not alone. And I believe in you.
As a young boy, I was plagued by nightmares. Every night, I would wake up in a cold sweat, frightened and alone. It was my father's face that haunted me. [Shows his mask] And this is how I saw him. The embodiment of desperation and despair. I made this mask to conquer my fears. And to remind myself why I fight, every day, to give this city's most desperate a chance. All I ever wanted to do was help people, Oliver.
Help me believe. Where's the cure?
Slade Wilson will not rest until he honors the promise that he made you.
I won't be so easy to kill once we level the playing field.
He's not interested in killing you. Not until he's taken away everything and everyone you love.
After he murdered my mother, he said one more person had to die.
Whoever you love the most.
I'm Nyssa, daughter of Ra's al Ghul. Heir to the demon.
Felicity Smoak. M.I.T. Class of '09.
If you're going to kill me, just... get over with it.
Kill you? Why? Because you shot me? I'm glad you did.
You're sick.
Perhaps. How else to explain the fact not a year ago, your brother held to a gun to my face as well.
Tommy.
He lacked conviction. The strength to pull the trigger, but not you, Thea. You are made of iron. You are truly my daughter, and I could not be more proud.
