You know what else we did tonight? We forced Pollard's hand. I leveraged her relationship with Midas to convince her to sign off on creating a special vigilante task force. We're still sanctioned by the SCPD, but we're operating as our own unit out of the Bunker in our suits.
My mom once told me that all the starlight we see has so far to travel that the stars might not even exist anymore. Eventually, they all just fade to black, erased. That's where I want to be.
Damn it, Zoe. I knew you were involved with the Canaries, but... I didn't think you were one of them. [to Dinah] Not only did you not stay away from my daughter, but you brought Roy into this. I didn't think you were alive.
Those coordinates were not supposed to lead you to me; they are the coordinates of a stockpile of bombs hidden in this building. That's why I told you to give them them to Roy and Dinah.
You know, when I first left home, I was so mad at you. I learned everything I could about vigilantes. I-I dug up old news stories about how they destroyed Star City. But I was convinced... I was convinced it was true. That you had lied to me my entire childhood. Your... your stories of the heroism of Team Arrow, because you didn't want me to think badly about you, or about dad. I spent these last years hating vigilantes because I hated you.
It's part of a new project I have been working on. It started off as, like, a home-based security system, and it's turned into, like, a DNA-tracking-based surveillance system. Meet Archer.
I've been using it for Team Arrow, but I think if we scaled it up, it could be so much more than that. I mean, we could find missing persons, we could track terrorists, we could do crowd control, we could do anything! I just, I can't do it alone.
I didn't want you to get mixed up with them, but I... I should have told you the truth so you'd know what you were really getting into working with me. I bet you wish you'd listened when I told you to stay away.
Only to someone who knows you, and who's been there. All I wanted was to bring Andy back over to the light. I don't have to remind you what having that blind spot cost us.
John, my family is to blame for her current situation. My-my father a-abandoned her and her mother. She was eleven! She was eleven years old. And no one's gonna convince me that... that her life wouldn't be different now if that had never happened.
Andy tried to convince me that I was the reason for his bad choices, too. He made me feel so guilty that I was willing to trust him again even after knowing he worked for Damien Darhk. I held out hope, Oliver, so much hope that I put you, my family, my team at risk.
I gave you that dagger. The weapons test failed because of your brother's involvement. Any more mistakes, and the rest of the Ninth Circle will mutiny.
Apparently it wasn't much of a secret. Everybody knew. Zero poker face. And I always wondered, you know, were you flirting with me all those times you said I was cute?
Sometimes, I don't know who you sound more like - your mother or your father. Do you know why I started the Canaries, what is represents? This is more than just some rebellion group. It's a support system. This is a way for women to know we have each other's backs no matter what happens, whenever we need it most, something I failed to do for a friend once, but ever since that happened with her, I made a promise to myself that I would never make that mistake again. That's why we wear these. To honor that promise and the bravery and the sacrifice shared with these amazing women, who somehow - no matter how many times they get knocked down - they always find the strength to get back and fight again and that is exactly what the surviving Canaries are going to do together but when the time is right.
