Quotes 

• Rene Ramirez : Show yourself. Nobody has to get hurt.

  Emiko Queen : [appearing in her Green Arrow suit and bleeding from a gunshot wound]  I need your help.

  Rene Ramirez : Holy crap.

• Emiko Queen : Did you find William Glenmorgan?

  Marco : Not exactly. We've used Glenmorgan for a few sensitive jobs. So have the Bratva, the Irish, and anyone else rich enough to pay him, but no one has seen his face.

  Emiko Queen : So how do you hire him?

  Marco : Through the online black market, but he's very careful. Glenmorgan might not even be his real name. Word is he's in town contracting for Talis Global.

  [handing her a key] 

  Marco : That will get you into the Talis server room. You'll have to find your own way into the building.

  [she stands to leave] 

  Marco : Hey. What'd this guy to do you, anyway?

  Emiko Queen : I'm not paying you to ask me questions.

• Rene Ramirez : Careful. It's gonna be sore.

  Emiko Queen : Not bad.

  Rene Ramirez : Well, the Navy didn't teach me heart surgery or anything, but I can handle a few stitches.

  Emiko Queen : Thank you.

  Rene Ramirez : No problem.

• Rene Ramirez : So you wanna tell me what happened out there?

  [no response] 

  Rene Ramirez : Okay. How about your name?

  Emiko Queen : I appreciate the help, but I'm not looking to make new friends.

  Rene Ramirez : Looks like you could use some.

  Emiko Queen : I work alone.

  Rene Ramirez : But you came to my place.

  Emiko Queen : And I'm starting to regret not taking my chances at the hospital.

  Rene Ramirez : Well, I guess stubbornness comes with the suit.

• Rene Ramirez : [seeing Emiko's hideout]  You put all this together? Alone?

  Emiko Queen : People can't let you down if you don't let them in.

  Rene Ramirez : Spoken like someone who knows what that feels like.

• Rene Ramirez : I know these guys.

  Emiko Queen : The arms dealer who provided the rifle, and the arsonist who tried to destroy all the evidence.

  Rene Ramirez : Your mission is about revenge.

  Emiko Queen : It's about justice, which has always been in short supply in the Glades. William Glenmorgan is my last stop.

  Rene Ramirez : And you need help taking him down.

  Emiko Queen : I need to finish this.

  Rene Ramirez : Let's go get that son of a bitch.

• Emiko Queen : I want to know why.

  Rene Ramirez : You're gonna have to be more specific.

  Emiko Queen : Why do you want to help me?

  Rene Ramirez : Because we're the same.

  Emiko Queen : I doubt that.

  Rene Ramirez : You said your mission is personal. So was mine. I watched as my wife got shot to death by a drug dealer from these streets. And for a long time, all I saw was red. But then I met Oliver Queen and a team, and they helped me channel my anger into a fight for a better life. I just want to pay that forward.

  Emiko Queen : That can't be all.

  Rene Ramirez : Okay. Ever since Oliver went to prison, I've been alone. My friends, my team, they... they moved on. Found another way to be heroes, and I've... been running around the city, helping you. But trust me.

  Emiko Queen : Follow me.

• Emiko Queen : Glenmorgan is holed up at his compound outside Star City. I spotted at least ten bodyguards.

  Rene Ramirez : So the killer's surrounded by even more killers. Great.

• Emiko Queen : You expecting someone?

  Marco : If anyone from my organization caught me talking to you, it's lights out for Marco.

  Emiko Queen : [surreptitiously handing him an envelope]  This will calm your nerves.

  Marco : [seeing the money inside]  It certainly does.

• Emiko Queen : [narrating]  The world is not a fair place. Innocent people die while the guilty go free. The system is broken, filled with corruption, greed, and apathy. The people who are supposed to protect us are failing us. Criminals continue to walk the streets because no one is willing to stop them. The world may not be fair, but everyone deserves justice and someone looking out for them.

• Rene Ramirez : Look, you're doing a lot of good out there, and you obviously care about the Glades. Let me help you.

  Emiko Queen : You have no idea what I care about.

  Rene Ramirez : If Oliver Queen knew anything, it's that you can't save the city alone.

  Emiko Queen : I'm not Oliver Queen.

• Emiko Queen : My father gave this to my mother the last time he saw her. When I was a little kid, we used this quilt to build play forts. We'd play so long that sometimes we'd just fall asleep there. And before we closed our eyes, we would hope for the same thing: that we'd wake up in the morning, go upstairs, and my father would be waiting for us.

  Rene Ramirez : I'm guessing he never was.

  Emiko Queen : Mom and I struggled, but we got by. We had each other, no matter what. But last year, there was a fire in the apartment; the fire department was nowhere to be found, because who gives a damn about some tenement in the Glades? By the time they finally arrived, there were no survivors.

  Rene Ramirez : Your mom was in there.

  Emiko Queen : It wasn't the fire that killed her.

  [pointing to her picture of Glenmorgan] 

  Emiko Queen : He did. She was dead before the fire even started. He put a bullet in her head; a very specific kind of bullet.

  Rene Ramirez : You tracked a bullet?

  [she nods] 

  Rene Ramirez : Why would he kill your mom?

  Emiko Queen : That's what I've been trying to figure out.

• Emiko Queen : [narrating]  People say that revenge corrupts the soul. That if you go down that path, you'll never come back. But sometimes, embracing the darkness is the only way to get justice. My name is Emiko Queen. I will get justice for my mother, and no one will stand in my way.
