Arrow · Season 1
Ray, when you come back from the dead, you're supposed to start living again. What's going on?
I've been catching up on the past six months. My company, my city, my life. And I feel like Tom Sawyer watching his own funeral, except in my case nobody really cares.
It's nice of you to show up.
My brother needed me. The green one.
A bunch of superheroes in a farm house? I feel like I've seen that in a movie before.
We need a secure location.
What's wrong with S.T.A.R. Labs?
Well, absolutely nothing, if you forget about the revolving door you guys installed so the bad guys can come and go as they please.
Remind me again what happened to your old lair, or the one before that...
[to Kendra] Whatever you do, don't let him train you. [to Oliver] I'm sorry, but when it rains, I can still feel where you shot me with those arrows.
[to Barry] Turn over Prince Khufu and Priestess Chayera within twenty-four hours, or I will lay waste to this city, killing everyone that you hold dear. [goes over to Oliver] And after that, I will travel to your home and do the same thing there.
All right, I'm just curious. Did you rehearse that speech in a mirror this morning, or is this just all off the cuff?
Everyone's waiting for you.
Sorry, just something I had to take of.
So I guess you're off the secret-keeping wagon.
That's not it.
Then what is it?
I think Damien Darhk has someone operating in Central City, so I sent Barry to run down a lead.
This kind of lead? [shows him the DNA results revealing he has a son] He didn't know what he was giving me. But I've run enough tests on your blood to recognize your DNA sequence anywhere.
You don't know–
You had him run a paternity test, didn't you?
Look, Felicity–
Stop! I cannot hear another lie.
It's more complicated than that.
God, Oliver, you are the only person on this planet who considers the truth "complicated." Just to be clear, I don't care that you have a child. I can't believe that you have a child that you didn't tell me about. I care that you lied to me just now.
Do you know that my whole world just exploded? And I think that I'm entitled to a minute to process that by myself.
You somehow managed to go to CCPD to track down Barry. You didn't keep it to yourself. You kept it from me. When were you planning on telling me?
I don't know.
If you loved me, if you trusted me, telling me this wouldn't be such a burden. It would be a relief. But you don't trust me. You never will. And how can I be with someone who doesn't trust me? [walks away]
Felicity...
Well, you did it, Barry. Everyone's alive. Our guardian angel.
That's what you told me I could be when I told you about my powers.
Meant it then and I know it now.
[Later, Barry goes in to hug Oliver, but he begs off.]
I'm not really a hugger.
Yeah, tell me something I don't know. But the thing is, I am fast enough to just hug you with out you knowing, so you might as well let me.
[They hug. Afterwards, Oliver walks away shaking his head in disbelief.]
[to himself, amused] Nice.
[calling after Oliver] Wasn't so bad, right?
This episode is a continuation of Flash [2.8] Legends of Today
If you're here to give me a Christmas present, you can keep whatever knife or torture device you plan on giving me.
No presents, nothing gift wrapped, at any rate.
Yes.
Never mind.
Excuse me. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. What's going on?
I don't know.
Is it Darhk?
Inasmuch as that he's the reason that Laurel and Thea showed up on our doorstep 3 months ago. Right before you were going to propose. Before you say anything you should know that my mom found the ring in the decorations box.
It's not what you think.
Well, that depends on whether or not you think that I think that you were gonna propose and then that you changed your mind.
I didn't change my mind.
Well, something changed.
Everything changed. Where we live, what we do, who we are. I was gonna propose.
Hmm.
But then we came back to Star City and then I just needed some to rethink things.
Because you thought I wasn't going to say yes?
Because what we're doing is dangerous and I–
But I chose this life and I chose you. And I don't understand why we can't have both. [guns shot revealing Damien Darhk crashing the Christmas party]
Oliver!
Are John and Thea alright?
Yeah, I think so. Please don't tell that you traded your life for ours because that would be extremely Old Oliver.
I had to turn myself in. It was the only way to know where you were being held.
One little problem , two if you think that Darhk is gonna keep up his end of the bargain. But what happens when the cavalry shows up and the Green Arrow is not present. Darhk is evil, not stupid.
I have that handled, Felicity. It had to be this way.
Why? Because you think we're in this situation because of your decisions? Look, I really hate to be the one to break this to you, Oliver, but you are not the boss of me. And I'm the one who decides if I need anyone's protection.
I know.
Back at the Christmas party from hell, you said you were going to propose and you didn't because you said you weren't sure our relationship could survive this kind of life.
It's a holiday party.
Yeah.
I had more to say, but we were attacked.
And here we are, fighting, Fighting our way through the danger instead of running away from it. Isn't that the whole point of marriage? To get through the hard times because we are together, not in spite of it?
Um–
Just so you know. If you had asked me, I would have said yes.
Oliver, we'll find them.
Not even the ghosts know where they are. Did you learn anything from the hotline?
Only how many crazy/bored people there are in the city. Don't go there.
Where?
Your go-to place. Where you sit there and say that's all your fault.
Well, it is my fault. I'm the one who outed Darhk.
I know. I seem to remember us all being there when you did.
I ran for Mayor because I can protect myself and that all of you could, too.
And you were right, we can.
I know, but you didn't sign up for this.
Oliver, we can take care of ourselves and that's including Felicity. You inspired a lot of people.
Well, Thea, and John, and Felicity, inspiration is not what they need tonight. But somewhere, someplace there is a ghost that's going to talk to me.
And if there isn't?
Then I'm going to take great pleasure in trying to make them.
Thank you everyone. This week, an event just like was interrupted by terrorists. But all of us are here tonight to send those people a very simple message. We're not gonna let the darkness win. So all of us are here to light a candle together. United. [lights the Christmas tree] This right there is possible because of all of you. And I am grateful for each one of you. There is one person in particular that I am grateful for. [looks at Felicity] You. Someone who has stood beside me when times were darkest. She's the one who lights my way. [gets down on one knee] Felicity Smoak... would you make me... the happiest man on the face of the Earth? Yes?
Yes.
Hey stranger.
Sorry I didn't come by sooner. It's... it's unforgivable.
Only if you were in Bali or something. Were you in Bali?
No, I was, uh–
Beating the streets. Probably a lot of people looking for Darhk.
I didn't want to come see you until Darhk was off the board.
Any luck?
We're working some leads.
Tell me you haven't gone off the rails.
Well... I just... I can't help but think that the reason Darhk is winning is because I haven't been willing to go far enough. And that if I was, if I had, maybe you wouldn't be in here right now. And I don't know what the point of what I'm doing as Green Arrow is if I can't protect the people that are closest to me.
Well, what's the point of doing it if you lose yourself in the process?
Yeah.
There's something else we need to talk about. The doctors say that I'm... uh...
I know.
My point being is that we didn't really exchange any vows so the whole "for better or for worse" thing doesn't really apply here.
What are you talking about?
That maybe the real reason you haven't been here is because...
Felicity... [takes out engagement ring from his pocket] the nurse took this off of you in the ER. How dare she? [he puts it back on her finger] For better or for worse.
Yeah.
Now I know... that it's not my fault. It's my responsibility.
Responsibility to do what?
To end it. I'm going to kill him.
