It's gonna take some time for them to get used to the Green Arrow wearing a badge. But, hey, this is the best lead we've had on finding out who's under that hood.
The Archer program wiped out crime in the Glades and helped it thrive. You do remember what happened when it fell in the wrong hands once. And we barely recovered.
You know what I know is? Is that you used to stand up for anyone in need. It didn't matter which part of town they were from; you were a hero. What happened to you?
You know, even after everything that I've learned about my father, I... just never expected anything like this. He ruined Emiko's life. Just... abandonded her.
Oliver, you became the Green Arrow to right your father's wrongs. What your parents did to Emiko and her mother is beyond wrong. You are a better man than your father ever was. Don't make the mistakes that he did. So reach out to your sister. Make things right.
I'm not. I'm not. We are fighting evil that most people don't even know exists. And sometimes that means making very difficult decisions, Curtis. The bombs are just a failsafe. That's all.
Well, first, I overrode the explosive program A.R.G.U.S. put inside your head with a virtual reality simulation that started running about twenty minutes before you remembered getting your sedative. Then I owned your ass.
Cops face risks every day. That is the job. And you are not putting anyone's life in danger, not unless you stop fighting for them. You think you're gonna do one interview, and all of a sudden your problems go away overnight?
I think I have been so obsessed with proving to people I'm not my father that I didn't stop and at look at all the ways that I am exactly like him. I should have come clean with Sam years ago.
[speaking in 2014] Well, I'm, I'm conflicted about this, I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm a police officer, duly sworn. I don't condone vigilantes or vigilantism. [gets emotional] Once people start taking the law into their own hands, you're on the road to anarchy.... But there's worse things out there than anarchy, and sometimes, as much as I hate to admit it... [choking up] the police aren't enough to deal with it all.
[chipper] Oliver is an interesting guy. Um... unbelievably damaged. [suddenly contrite and serious] I hope he won't mind me saying that. [stammering] I don't mean, well, all I meant by that was that he's... he's lived through a lot of darkness. And all he really cares about is trying to make sure that nobody else has to go through what he's gone through. [jump cut][nervous stammer] No. No no no no no, I didn't know that, that he was the Green Arrow until he turned himself in. I mean... you know... whoa. Obviously, big surprise. Think you know a guy.
[In a flash forward, Connor Hawke and Mia are surveying the future remains of the Team Arrow bunker, which has again been wrecked and is covered with undergrowth.]
