Arrow · Season 1
I don't believe it.
Really? Oliver can't go after Chase himself, so he finds guys who can.
He let them steal from a company that was barely hanging on. Oliver put hundreds of jobs on the line, and I know he knows that 'cause I was in the same briefing.
Speaking of which, why haven't you gone back into City Hall?
Because Lance banned him 'til Chase is taken off the board. Something to do with Rene threatening to pop a cap in his ass.
If Diggle's the new Oliver, and I'm obviously the new Felicity - don't hate... which one of you guys is the new Diggle?
[together] I am.
Seriously? You've been here like, what, ten minutes? You don't even have a code name.
Fine. You're the new Digg. [turns back to her computer]
The fact that she was not padding it... I mean, that's extremely Digg-like. You see the...
Okay. You're the new Digg.
[Dinah smiles and winks at Curtis.]
Chase is being transferred into Federal protection. Which means that the Bratva can't get to him.
You're welcome.
[Oliver punches Diggle in the jaw, so hard that Diggle almost goes down.]
Feel better?
No. [starts to leave]
We're not done, Oliver. You and me, we're never gonna be done. You understand that? Listen, man, you can tell me that you're a serial killer. That you're crazy. Or you're whatever Chase has shoved into your head. But I'm not believing any of that, even if you do. And that's because I know the kind of man you are, Oliver. The good, the bad and the ugly, I know! And you don't need to punish yourself or isolate yourself. But what you need to do is stop pushing me away! Because I'm not going anywhere, Oliver! Do you get that?!
What do you want me to do, John? I've told you what I am. Who I am. And even if you don't believe it, I do. [softly] I do. So I don't know where that leaves us.
It leaves us right back at Langham, Oliver. You remember that? I killed my brother, Oliver. And I was gonna let myself rot in prison for what I did. But you told me to atone for what I did as Spartan. And if that's true for me, then it's one hundred times truer for the Green Arrow. You don't just get to walk away from this, man. The Hood is who you are. You don't think you deserve it? Fine. Work to become the man who does.
I... I don't know how.
You just ask for help. You don't have to do this alone, Oliver.
You have two minutes. Then I'm calling the SCPD.
Oliver Queen afraid to be alone with Bratva gangster. How far you have fallen.
Anatoly, you didn't bring me here to insult me.
No. I give you friendly tip. I go back to Russia tonight, but leave Star City a little present: my best men.
Your best men were arrested.
Already out on bail. I hear they cannot wait to get revenge on vigilantes who put them away.
This is between you and me, No one lese.
No one else? You betray every man in Bratva. You betray Russian community. You even work against own team. I see this, I think "I still trust him anyway." What a fool I was.
No. I'm the fool. Because I thought that our friendship, everything that we have been through together, actually meant something to you. The person that I knew would never betray a friend. Would never threaten innocent people over what? A payday. When I left Russia, I was convinced that you could lead the Bratva, that you could set them on a better path. And now look at you. You're no better than Gregor.
I told you: I was worried about what I would become without your help. I did what I had to do. To keep Bratva together. And to stay alive. I became what I had to become. You ask why I change. That is it.
[Team Arrow and ARGUS are searching for Chase inside an old-time video arcade, when Curtis notices something.]
We have to move right now.
See something?
Yes! This... is "Maximum Force". It's vintage. We can not let anything happen to this.
I'm more worried about something happening to me.
Will you two focus?!
[Oliver, Lyla and Dinah are investigating the death of an ARGUS agent killed in an elevator.]
[using his radio] Felicity, Curtis, we have a camera.
Roger, Roger. We have clearance, Clarence. What's our vector, Victor?
Guys. Focus, please.
For the past four years, I have watched you do whatever you had to, whatever it took to stop the people threatening this city. How can you stand there and not ask me to do the same thing?
Because, over the past four years, you, more than anyone else, have seen the toll that it has taken on me.
And I told you--
-- Yes, I under... I understand. I agree, that I should not shelter you from making hard decisions. But you want to talk irony? Fine. You were willing to sell your soul to destroy a threat that I created. [stumbles over his next words]
One of the reasons I fell in love with you was you were always willing to do what was right. No matter what the cost. Even if it's unbearably hard. It's what makes you you. So how can I be any different? You have sacrificed your soul, for the team, for the city, and for me. You don't... have to carry that burden any longer. Let me do it.
Felicity, I'm.... I can't.
Then you'll have to stop me.
[Oliver nods, and Felicity leaves.]
[Quentin has arranged a reunion between Rene and his daughter, Zoe.]
I told you...
Hey, you're not the only one around here who doesn't listen to orders.
Who's he?
Uh, that's um... that's Quentin. Quentin Lance, Daddy's friend, but I call him "Hoss". He arranged this little visit.
[to Quentin] Thank you, Hoss.
[appears a video screen] Hey, Felicity.
Hey. Where are you? Are you OK?
We're safe. Thank you, for all of your help. But here's the thing. Your connection to the Green Arrow and his team... it's a liability.
Yeah. Well, once we get Chase, he'll see all the good Helix can do.
I'm sorry, but we just can't risk it. Especially now with Cayden back in the fold and ARGUS looking for him. I loved getting to work with you. Meeting your heroes, it turns out it's not so bad after all.
Diggle family, anybody home? [Diggle walks to the door] I definitely heard Lyla yelling.
Knock again.
[Diggle opens the door]
Didn't know we were having a party.
I'm sensing a lot of marital tension.
What's an EDM?
Something you might hear at a nightclub? This was an EMP.
What's next from my favorite power couple?
Power couple?
Yeah. I thought that you and Oliver... You guys aren't hooking up again?
Oh no, no, God no! Why would you even think that?
Well because every time I come by, you guys are in the middle of exchanging longing looks for each other.
No we're not.
Oh Felicity.
We look nothing like that.
Oh, how I wish I didn't break up with him.
What? What? What?
Oh we were so happy together.
Were. Past tense, yes.
Look, I know that he hurt you by not telling you about his son, but–
It's not about William. It's about what William represents.
Oliver having sex with another woman.
No. But thank you for that visual. William is symptomatic of a larger problem between Oliver and I.
That being?
Oliver doesn't trust me.
Right, your man who put his life in your hands a couple of thousands of times.
Trusting me as Overwatch is one thing, but we're talking about his son, Curtis. His child! Oliver doesn't trust me enough to share important information, and crucial information, with me. What's the point of being in a relationship at all?
I'm not gonna say that Oliver Queen plays great with others.
But?
But he can still change that about himself. You know what he can't change?
What?
That way he looks at you. You both owe it to each other to see, Felicity.
Gotta say, this team is never boring. I didn't think I'd be doing this when I woke up this morning.
Oliver and Felicity might suffocate! How can you be so glib?
You've met me, right? And how come your toy balls can't float down here and do this for us?
For the 1000th time Rene, they're called T-Spheres! But if you want, call them by their proper name.
You named them?
Kodo and Podo. You know, Dar's thieving little ferrets on The Beastmaster. Let's just say, a young Marc Singer was quite helpful in me discovering my homosexuality.
And my heterosexuality. On an open channel by the way.
Open line!
Look, I can't get my T-Spheres because they are in the bunker, and therefore fried. So, whatever.
I swear those two are going to make the cutest couple one day.
[Lyla gives Diggle a file]
What is this?
It's an audit of every black-op I've signed off on as director of ARGUS.
Why are you giving me this?
I don't want there to be any more secrets between us John. But there is one thing I need to know from you.
Name it.
No matter what Oliver Queen does, no matter how morally compromising, you stand behind him.
Lyla.
No matter what. Why can't you do that for me?
Lyla, I guess I've never really thought of it like that.
Well maybe you should start. Because I'm not Oliver, Johnny, I'm your wife. And even though I disagree with many of your choices, I trusted those choices. I trusted you. I think I deserve the same consideration.
[Oliver and Anatoly are flying to Lian Yu in a vintage pontoon plane.]
Maybe drinking before flying not such good idea. [reconsiders] Or not drink enough. I don't know.
Well, it's getting worse. So we're close.
I pretend that is good thing.
