- Rory Regan: Maybe Barry can do that Flashpoint thing again.
- Rene Ramirez: Yeah, he does that, Dig might end up with 5 kids. I think my brain hurts.
- Rene Ramirez: Think in Flashpoint I maybe dated her in high school?
- Rory Regan: It's an alternate timeline, not an alternate reality.
- Rene Ramirez: What's that supposed to mean?
- Rory Regan: It means - and no offense - like in a multiverse of possibilities there's no world where Thea goes out with, you know, someone like you.
- Rene Ramirez: What's that supposed to mean - someone like me?
- Thea Queen: It means you're not my type.
- Thea Queen: There's two types of every legacy, two versions of what we leave behind. The good and then the bad. You just have a lousy habit of focusing only on the bad.
- Green Arrow: Justin Claybourne, you have failed this city.
- Prometheus: Not as badly as you have, Mr. Queen.
- Green Arrow: You have until 11 A.M. tomorrow to make this right?
- Justin Claybourne: And what happens if I don't?
- [Green Arrow shoots him in the leg]
- Green Arrow: I'll aim higher.
- Prometheus: Did you hesitate at all when you killed him, or was he just another name you crossed off your list?
- Green Arrow: If you want revenge, I'm right here.
- Prometheus: This is about so much more than revenge.
- Evelyn Sharp: What? That's it? We had a deal. I get you the Intel, I get to be there when you take him down.
- Prometheus: You think you can make demands of me?
- Evelyn Sharp: No. No, of course not. I know he's your kill... but I want to watch him die.
- Prometheus: You haven't been listening. I'm not going to kill him. I'm gonna make him wish he was dead.
- Felicity Smoak: Well, in our town people who are dead turn out to be secretly alive almost every Wednesday!
- John Diggle: [Olivee walks into the lay it slowly, clearly distraught] What happened out there man?
- Thea Queen: Did you kill Prometheus?
- Felicity Smoak: Where's Billy? Did you find Billy?
- Felicity Smoak: [Stepping closer] Oliver...
- Oliver Queen: Prometheus staged Billy... He duct-taped his mouth and he puts weapon in his hand, and he put him in his suit... Prometheus knew...
- Felicity Smoak: No Oliver, don't...
- Oliver Queen: -that I was there to kill him...
- Felicity Smoak: Don't!
- Oliver Queen: He calculated every move... Every moment.
- Felicity Smoak: Where is he? Where is Billy?
- Oliver Queen: I killed Billy. I'm so sorry, Felicity... I didn't know it was Billy; I couldn't have known that it was him. I couldn't... I couldn't have known.
- Felicity Smoak: [Crying] Oh my God... This was Prometheus... This was all him.
- Oliver Queen: He was trying to prove to me that everyone I... I come into contact with... Everyone close to me dies, and he's right... I think that uh...
- Oliver Queen: [Turning away, crying] I think that all of you should get as far away from me as you possibly can.
- John Diggle: [John moves closer, touching Oliver's shoulder] Oliver, we are exactly where we're supposed to be.
- [Oliver & Diggle hug as the whole team steps in closer]
- Felicity Smoak: [after Oliver's speech]
- Felicity Smoak: [Simultaneously] Great speech.
- Susan Williams: [Simultaneously] Great speech.
- Felicity Smoak: [Felicity and Susan look at each other cautiously. Susan moves closer to Oliver] What she said...
- Susan Williams: Uh, Felicity, right?
- Felicity Smoak: Yeah, you must be the super hot reporter.
- Susan Williams: Um, uh thank you.
- Felicity Smoak: What I meant to say was, this is my--this is my boyfriend Billy.
- Detective Billy Malone: It's nice to see you again, Mayor Queen.
- Oliver Queen: [Shaking hands] Billy, please call me Oliver.
- Curtis Holt: [Curtis walks up to Felicity] Hey, um, we're actually gonna head out.
- Felicity Smoak: Everything alright?
- Curtis Holt: It will be.
- Felicity Smoak: [Turning back to Oliver] So, you guys wanna go on a double-date something, or...?
- Felicity Smoak: [Oliver gives her a silent 'please don't' look] No... Cool.
- Green Arrow: Overwatch?
- Felicity Smoak: Already on it. Tracking the transmission from the sensors now.
- Green Arrow: [the door unlocks; Oliver stops in his tracks] That was fast.
- Felicity Smoak: No, that was impossible.
- Green Arrow: He's letting me in.
- Felicity Smoak: No, you need to pull back, it's not safe.
- Felicity Smoak: [Oliver continues approaching the door] Five years, and he *still* doesn't listen.
- Paul Holt: [Walks in as Curtis is hanging up with Rory] Who's Rory?
- Curtis Holt: He's a friend of mine from my Palmer Tech days... Saw what happened on the news and was just check in on me.
- Paul Holt: You're the world's worst lair, Curtis... It's one of the reasons I married you.
- Curtis Holt: What are you talking about?
- Paul Holt: You know exactly what I'm talking about.
- Paul Holt: The late nights out, canceled dinners, the inexplicable accidents... I can't do this anymore. You have to tell me what's going on.
- Curtis Holt: How do I put this? I work with the Green Arrow.
- Paul Holt: You... You work with the Green Arrow?
- Curtis Holt: Yeah.
- Paul Holt: [Chuckling disbelievingly] Come on...
- Curtis Holt: [Hurt] It's *not* impossible.
- Paul Holt: You're helping the guy who's going around, putting arrows into people?
- Curtis Holt: Well yeah, but only bad people, and only the ones who really try to put up a fight. Most guys we just try to send to jail.
- Paul Holt: This is completely insane.
- Curtis Holt: Yes, I know that, but... When you're actually doing it, it's different. It feels amazing, empowering, almost a little inspiring.
- Paul Holt: You lied to me... For months.
- Curtis Holt: To keep you safe.
- Paul Holt: To keep me safe? And what about you? You've been hurt how many times since you started this?
- Curtis Holt: I actually lost track.
- Paul Holt: Which is why you need to stop!
- Curtis Holt: Stop what?
- Paul Holt: This! Being a vigilante!
- Curtis Holt: I made a commitment.
- Paul Holt: You made one to me too. Last time I checked, our vows didn't include me worrying every night about whether or not you were going to make it home alive the next morning.
- Curtis Holt: Paul...
- Paul Holt: You can be a vigilante, or you can be married to me, but you can't do both... I can't do both.
- [Paul leaves]
- Felicity Smoak: Hey, I thought you were going to let the Green Arrow handle this.
- Detective Billy Malone: No, I'm pretty sure my exact words were 'If there's a killer out there, I'm gonna stop him.
- Felicity Smoak: I was just hoping that was boyfriend posturing.
- Detective Billy Malone: I cross-referenced Curtis' medical records with old SCPD case files--Prometheus injected him with Dycloserol, which was manufactured at the...
- Felicity Smoak: [Finishing for him] Claiborne pharmaceuticals, and their plant just came online. Yeah, I know.
- Detective Billy Malone: How... How *did* you know?
- Felicity Smoak: Because... The Green Arrow hit it already, and we already got everything that there is to get there.
- Detective Billy Malone: Why didn't ya tell me?
- Felicity Smoak: Remember that part about me not wanting you to work on this case?
- Detective Billy Malone: Yeah, I'm a cop Felicity--this is my job.
- Felicity Smoak: Yeah, and Prometheus' job is killing cops, so you need to stay away. If you're not gonna do it for yourself, can you do it for me?
- Detective Billy Malone: I'm not letting this go. Felicity, you know how I feel about you, but I have to be true to who I am.
- Oliver Queen: Facial recognition did kick back something on the baby photo.
- Felicity Smoak: Court records from Claiborne's divorce.
- Felicity Smoak: The baby is Claiborne's son.
- Oliver Queen: You told me that Claiborne didn't have any kids.
- Oliver Queen: No of the legitimate variety, but the divorce petition Claiborne's ex-wife filed says otherwise. There's no record of the kid's name in the files, but due to the filing date, he'd be about thirty today.
- John Diggle: Just old enough to put on a hood... And a mask.
- Oliver Queen: Old enough to want revenge on the man who murdered his father.
- John Diggle: [Oliver braces himself on the railing, quiet] Oliver, this isn't on you man.
- Oliver Queen: Yes it is. You warned me John--you warned me that there would be unintended consequences, and I didn't listen. Prometheus surprised me at the plant with a move, a very specific, unique move... It was taught to me by a woman that I met in Russia.
- Felicity Smoak: You mean you think you and Prometheus had the same teacher?
- John Diggle: What he's saying is Prometheus had over four years to learn everything he does.
- Oliver Queen: Right.
- Oliver Queen: [Turning to face Felicity] Felicity, Billy has gone missing. Chase thinks that it's Prometheus. We alerted the police; we ordered them to shoot Prometheus on site. Now, we are gonna find Billy; we are gonna bring him back to you. I promise. Let's call Rory and Rene; we're gonna hit the streets. If you learn anything, contact me--do not engage this enemy under any circumstances.
- Rory Regan: Cute baby...
- Thea Queen: Cute yeah, but why would your boyfriend send this to you?
- Felicity Smoak: That is what I'm trying to figure out--that, and why men don't listen when you specifically tell them *not* to do something...
- Felicity Smoak: [Turning briefly to face Oliver, Diggle, and Rene] Why don't you guys listen?
- [Oliver looks at Diggle and shrugs, unsure of how to answer]
- Thea Queen: Did you ask him why he sent it?
- Felicity Smoak: Yeah, I texted right back, but no reply. I'm worried.
- Oliver Queen: And he said he found it at the Claiborne Manufacturing Plant?
- Felicity Smoak: Yeah, it matches the GPS tag on his text.
- Oliver Queen: Why would he send *this* photo? What's the relevance?
- Felicity Smoak: That's what I'm trying to figure out, right after I try to figure out why men don't listen...
- Green Arrow: I thought you weren't suiting up anymore.
- Speedy: Yeah, well, it's Felicity's boyfriend... I figured all hands. Plus John told me about Claybourne and four years ago.
- Green Arrow: Speedy, are you about to tell me, after everything that's happened, and everything that's happening, that this isn't my fault?
- Speedy: Do you remember when Tommy and I went to the US Open, and you tried to land that helicopter on the grounds 'cause Tommy wanted to impress Maria Sharapova, and then made Dad blow that huge acquisitions deal?
- Green Arrow: Because he needed to bail me out, yeah.
- Speedy: Pretty sure the was the most disappointed he's ever been in you.
- Green Arrow: I'm not seeing the relevance, Speedy.
- Speedy: My point is, Dad wouldn't be disappointed in who you've become. It's like you were saying at that Christmas party, Mom and Dad would be proud.
- Green Arrow: They might not be proud if they knew that I created something like Prometheus.
- Speedy: There's two types of every legacy; two versions of what we leave behind. There's the good and then the bad. You just really have a lousy habit of focusing only on the bad.
- Prometheus: I've studied you, Oliver Queen. I know everything. Who you love, who you trust, who you've hurt. Do you know how easy it was to turn Evelyn against you? How easy it will be to turn them all? You're not a hero--you're a killer, and I'm going to them that. I'm going to show them how everything you touch dies.
- Susan Williams: Oliver, what is it?
- Oliver Queen: I'm sorry, I didn't know where else to go.
- Susan Williams: You wanna talk about it?
- Oliver Queen: Not really.
- Susan Williams: Come on, come in.
- Susan Williams: [Oliver follows her into her apartment] Can I get you a drink?
- Oliver Queen: I could use a drink.
- Susan Williams: Why? I thought things were getting better.
- Oliver Queen: So did I, but um... That feelings never seems to last. Thank you.
- Susan Williams: And, why do you think that is?
- Oliver Queen: I was reunited with someone from my past recently. I know their father, and they told me that I ruin the lives of everyone that I come into contact with. Doesn't matter who they are. Doesn't matter how much I love them. If I'm in their life, that life turns to ash.
- Susan Williams: I think that's ridiculous. Everyone's life touches everyone else's. Sometimes the result is good, and sometimes it's bad, but you are only focusing on the bad.
- Oliver Queen: My sister said something very similar to that.
- Susan Williams: Well, she's a smart woman. Loo, no matter what's going on in your life, Oliver, shutting people out is the last thing you should do. Let me show you.
- Rene Ramirez: Think in Flashpoint, I maybe dated her back in high school?
- Rory Regan: It's an alternate timeline, not an alternate reality...
- Rene Ramirez: What is that supposed to mean?
- Rory Regan: It means... And, no offense, but in a multiverse of possibilities, there's no world where Thea Queen goes out with... Ya know--someone like you.
- Rene Ramirez: What's that mean--someone like me?
- Thea Queen: It means you're not my type.
- Oliver Queen: Claiborne didn't just price-gouge with the drug; he created the epidemic. He is connected to something called the AK Desmond Group. They're black marketeers who specialize in creating bioweapons. What do you think they've been working on?
- John Diggle: Weaponized Tuberculosis.
- Oliver Queen: He created the marketplace, Diggle, and he didn't care who died in the process.
- John Diggle: And now you're gonna kill him.
- Oliver Queen: How can you read what's in that folder and have a problem with that?
- John Diggle: Have you thought about the ramifications of your actions? Of actually crossing names off a list, of being judge, jury, and executioner?
- Oliver Queen: Men like Claiborne buy buy judges, they buy jurys... The law doesn't apply to them.
- John Diggle: I'm not saying you don't do some good.
- Oliver Queen: So what are you saying?
- John Diggle: I'm saying that maybe one day, your actions may have some unintended consequences.
