Hi.
Thanks for letting me swing by.
You do remember this apartment has a front door, right?
Front doors are more for people who haven't just faked their own death.
Good point.

You look like you've seen a ghost.
CChurch
He survives. I guess I'll just have to kill you again, Oliver. You mind if I call you "Oliver"?
Yes, I do.
CCChristopher Chance
With Church in custody, I take it your identity's safe.
I hope so. Thanks for the assist. [pause] And the personal insight.
CChance
It's just part of the service. [Felicity enters the office] Speak of the devil.
Oh, am I the devil now?
CChance
That would definitely be my cue to leave. Take care. [walks out of the office]
What's the status on Church's cellphone?
It's holding still at a pairing pocket. This is one well-traveled phone, considering that its owner was killed on the other side of town last week.
Prometheus is trying to bait me.
Yeah, that's the general point I was trying to convey, and also that it's probably a trap. You should've let me call in the rest of the team.
No!
Why?
Because it's probably a trap.
Okay, once you have wires attached... Good. Now take the other one and attach to battery, and the other one to the ignitor.
I failed chemistry in high school, twice.
Then learn like I did, in, how you say, school of have knock.
I don't see the point of this. I'm here, in Russia, to take out Konstantin Kovar, not to learn how to make a bomb.
You must be like sponge, Oliver. Making bomb, working with electronic, welding metal, Bratva spend off hour learning many trade.
Fine.
Attach one end to ignitor, other one to battery terminal. Careful! Do not touch circuit board.
[Oliver attaches the wires and the bomb starts ticking, Anatoly throws it in a metal bin and everyone takes cover]
[laughs] It's okay Oliver, first time I try, nearly lose finger.
You are not actually flirting with that woman.
She can literally ruin your career.
I haven't done anything yet.
[Thea and Quentin both react in disgust]
Oh my g– wow!
I hate that he just said "yet".
[Rory gives Curtis a liquid filled glass]
Oh, thanks. What is this?
Regan family schnapps recipe, it's strong and a little sweet, just like you. I thought we could use some, considering the circumstances. [turns to Evelyn] Would you care for some?
Umm... Rory, she's seventeen.
So? My dad was giving me this stuff since I was eleven.
[takes the glass] And what a fine weirdo you turned out to be. [drinks some schnapps] Look, if this meeting is because we learned Oliver's a killer, I got news for you: it's not news.
Killing Damien Dahrk and Church's guys is one thing, but having a secret kill-list...
Yeah, and he never even told us about it. Something completely different.
Well what's not different is him not telling us stuff. Have any of you noticed that when it comes to information sharing there seems to be two different teams?
It's only gotten worse since Diggle's been back.
Make up your mind guys! Are you pissed 'cause Oliver killed people or that he doesn't tell us everything?
How about both? How about I'm pissed that the guy who only shares the important information with his inner circle used to be a serial killer?
Which, again, he didn't tell us about.
Look, we all want to believe in Oliver's crusade, but how are we supposed to follow him into a battle when his first instinct is to hide the truth from us? First it's "I used to be a serial killer," what's tomorrow revelation going to be? I don't know how to operate with that in the back of my mind.
[Oliver is shooting tennis balls with his arrows]
Where's Felicity with the list of potential targets?
She's working on it, it's a big city.
Yeah.
Something tells me it's not the only thing weighing on you.
How are the recruits?
Taking a little time out.
I expected them to be upset with me, and that's fine, but John, they seemed horrified.
I wouldn't call it that, just a bit surprised. Look on the bright side, it does show how far you've come. I haven't seen that guy in a long time. And the way the kids reacted, I think it proves how much you've changed.
Except I haven't. I killed Damien Dahrk, and I haven't stopped since. [shoots a tennis ball]
Yeah well, don't forget who you're talking to man. I know firsthand what it's like to be a murderer. I know the difference between a good kill and one made out of pure rage. You killed Damien Dahrk, Oliver, because you had to. You took down Church's men because you had to. The list was something different. You were targeting lawyers, stockbrokers. You were killing as a first resort, not a last.
Now Prometheus is just dredging all that up again. I want to move forward. I'm trying to move forward. But I... [takes a deep breath] I feel stuck.
I think you're being hard on yourself, which is a bit annoying 'cause it's usually mine and Felicity's job. But Oliver, in that official capacity, I think you are moving forward. I think you're evolving. I think you're growing.
What makes you so sure?
Because that guy with the list wouldn't have even thought to ask the question.
"All that most maddens and torments. All that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain".
Where is that? From the Torah?
Moby Dick.
Oh. Does that make me Ahab?
Well, if the obsessive and really intense look fits....
Sorry for the wait.
SWSusan Williams
No worries. Gives me time for this Twitter war I'm having with an investigative journalist from Russia.
What can I help you with?
So formal, that's not fun.
Susan I've got a million things to do today.
Including dealing with whoever dropped two bodies on the SCPD's doorstep?
How do you know about that?
I believe it's called being good at my job.
Tonight, Maguire's, 9PM. I'm going to buy you that drink you so desperately need.
I appreciate that, but I don't need a date.
No, but you need a friend, even more than you need that drink. See you tonight.
Alright, so we're here. Where's here?
It's a place called New Oasis.
Rehab?
You need it Quentin.
I don't think so, not with everything that's going on right now, it's just not the time.
This is exactly the right time. And you know it. Everything has just been an excuse, keeping you away from feeling what you need to.
I suppose you're gonna tell me exactly what that is.
I don't have to.
Laurel.
I know you think that you've dealt with your grief on this, but all of this drinking is saying otherwise.
It just hurts, it just hurts so much, it just hurts so much.
Yeah, I know. I know.
And the worst thing is knowing how ashamed she'd be of me right now.
She wouldn't be ashamed of you Quentin, she would be concerned, okay? Just like I am.
You know, I used to get shot at for a living. I don't know what it is about this building that's got me so scared.
We're afraid of things we don't know. Especially when we've been living in pain this long. It's hard to even accept the idea of being happy.
Yeah. When did you become so wise?
I've been through a lot the last four years.
Yeah, your mother would be proud of you.
Why don't you go in there and make Laurel proud of you?
What about being Deputy Mayor?
It'll be waiting for you, right when you get back. I promise.
Thanks, for everything.
Thank me by getting better.
What do you want?
VVigilante
To operate without interference.
So you can keep killing people?
VVigilante
Criminals.
Like the people at the motel?
VVigilante
Collateral damage. You don't seem to know that this is a war. Maybe that's why you're losing.

What? That's it? We had a deal. I get you the Intel, I get to be there when you take him down.
PPrometheus
You think you can make demands of me?
No. No, of course not. I know he's your kill... but I want to watch him die.
PPrometheus
You haven't been listening. I'm not going to kill him. I'm gonna make him wish he was dead.
