Arrow · Season 1
Sorry. You had to get off at an earlier stop.
You can't be the Arrow. He died. So who are you?
You're about to find out. [loads and aims his bow at Damien] Stop the train!
No, I don't want to. Even if I did, I couldn't. I destroyed the braking system 20 miles away.
Willing to die to destroy a train station?
No, that would be ridiculous.
Then how are you planning on getting off the train?!?
You don't know who I am, do you? I'm Damien Darhk.
So what are you gonna call yourself now? Everybody thinks Roy was the Arrow.
Well he won't need a code name if he's headed back to Ivy Town.
[looks at Felicity] Well I guess I need a code name. Felicity and I, we have missed this. We've missed all of you. And the city is far worse off than we thought.
What are you talking about?
The man leading the Ghosts is Damien Darhk.
Darhk left Star City months ago. Why would he come back?
Did Ra's tell you anything about Darhk that would give us any idea about his agenda?
He said that Damien Darhk had a hive of operatives at his disposal.
Hive. That was the exact word he used?
Yes. Why? Does it mean something to you?
[Diggle flashes back]
Who would want to kill Andy?
I don't know their names. Just an alias. H.I.V.E.
[back in the present day]
No. No, nothing.
[broadcasting on the emergency channel] Six months ago, the Arrow died. What he stood for didn't. It lived on and heroes took up his mantel. People who believe that this city should never descend into hopelessness. Who believe although life is full of darkness, that darkness can be fixed by light. And tonight I am declaring my intention to stand with them. To fight for this city! To be the symbol of hope that the Arrow never was. I. Am. The Green Arrow.
He left behind evidence.
Fingerprints.
How'd you get the owner to part with his windshield?
I bought his truck. It's one of the benefits of your girlfriend inheriting a multi-billion dollar conglomerate. We have money now.
What this city needs is somebody who can stand out in the light of day, not lurk around in the shadows. You said you were gonna be different this time, huh? How?
Let's get one thing straight. The only person who gets to talk in sentence fragments around here is me.
You've been investigating this for two years and you haven't told anyone?
It's a family thing Laurel. I would think you. of all people, would understand keeping secrets when it comes to the death of a sibling.
I do. And because I do, I can tell you carrying a burden like that never ends in any way but bad.
Both Lance and Jessica Danforth said something to me about this city needing something that the Green Arrow can't offer them.
A decent sushi restaurant?
Hope. Inspiration. Someone who can do things in the light who isn't afraid. Someone who can protect himself. Felicity, I'm gonna run for Mayor.
You want me to take a look at your phone for you, Miss Smoak?
I think we've reached the point in our working relationship where you can call me Felicity.
Have you ever considered how ironic your name is? "Felicity" refers to the ability to find appropriate expression for one's thoughts, which is not exactly something you're particularly good at.
Yeah, you're right. let's stick with Miss Smoak.
Since when are you such a bad ass?
Since always.
You took a bullet for me.
They were metahuman tattoo playing cards.
Still counts, Oliver. Still counts.
[cleaning up a wound that Oliver got on the field] This hurt?
Yeah, it stings.
Good. That's what you get for trying to take on a meta all by yourself.
A meta?
Yeah. Turns out Central City is missing one. A Jeremy Tell. Cisco says we should call him "Double-Down", which doesn't exactly make sense, since he was getting a tattoo when the Dark Matter wave hit.
You missed quite a show tonight.
Sorry I couldn't help out. It's a long story.
Oh, my God. It is not a long story. It is the shortest story in history. Two guys go take on criminals without asking for backup and nearly get killed in the process. You know, I haven't said anything up till now, because I was hoping that the two of you would removes your heads from your own asses but turns out I was wrong.
Hey, Felicity–
No, no, no. This is the part where I talk and you two listen. The both of you nearly got killed out there tonight because you didn't have each other's back.
That was a time deal, Felicity. It won't happen again.
I absolutely agree. Because the two of you are going to sit down here until you have resolved your issues. Do we have an understanding?
Hey–
Do we have an understanding?
Yeah.
I'm gonna take this to a guy at Palmer Tech to find out how some lunatic meta turns tattoos into lethal weapons. If you two haven't resolved your issues by the time I get back, I'm gonna find a bunch of Mirakuru soldiers to knock some sense into you.
It's been months, man. And I don't know how many apologies in which you're a forgiving person.
Oliver, this isn't about forgiveness, man. I don't know how to move forward with this, us. Doing what what we do.
We've worked fine since I got back.
We got lucky. Oliver, there was a time when I would've taken a bullet for you. And I don't know if I would do that now. Which means that when we're out there, we are not out there together. You crossed a line, man. And the fact that you could do that again sits in the back of my head somewhere.
I get it! I get it. I understand that I crossed a line. I understand that I lost your trust. What I don't understand is why you won't give me a chance to earn it back.
Your texts were "911" "OMG" "ASAP" "!!!!!" I do not have time to respond to something that doesn’t contain at least one actual word.
I can give advice, father to father. If she were my daughter, I'd put her down.
She's my baby girl.
No, she isn't. She may look like your daughter, but she doesn't possess her soul. The most loving act you can commit is to return Sara to her final rest. I'm sorry.
