- Cayden James: I may have underestimated you. It seems that you have more skill than I give you credit for.
- Vincent Sobel: I keep telling people I'm more than just a pretty face. Funny thing is I underestimated you, too.
- Cayden James: Is that right?
- Vincent Sobel: When you recruited me to help take this city from Oliver Queen, I didn't think you'd have the resolve to do what was necessary to make him fear you. I was wrong.
- Cayden James: Does that mean that you also fear me, Mr. Sobel?
- Vincent Sobel: I'd be a fool not to.
- Dinah Drake: Vince was right. The only way to bring justice to this city is with a bullet.
- Oliver Queen: No, Dinah. I need you to listen to me.
- Dinah Drake: I'm going to make sure Vince didn't die for nothing. I'm going to kill every last one of them... starting with Laurel.
- Cayden James: Your ability to withstand extreme punishment is impressive. But we all have our limits. Let's find Mr. Sobel's.
- [Laurel hesitantly looks at Vince]
- Cayden James: Don't make me doubt your loyalty, too. Ms. Lance.
- Dinah Drake: [to Vince] You were amazing.
- Felicity Smoak: Yeah, we'll engrave your Oscar when you're out of the building.
- Felicity Smoak: Cayden sure has a lot of junk in his server for someone who's as type "A' as you say he is.
- Alena: Well, brilliant people are often slobs, or so I tell myself and my dates.
- Curtis Holt: Show-off. I can't even get a date.
- Felicity Smoak: Oh, I love your face, but that is just not a good face. What's up?
- Oliver Queen: Just spent the past two hours trying to convince the City Council that we will get out from underneath Cayden James' thumb. I'm not sure even I believe that at this point.
- Felicity Smoak: You know what I'm looking forward to once we put Cayden James away?
- Oliver Queen: What's that?
- Felicity Smoak: Our honeymoon.
- Oliver Queen: Hmm.
- Felicity Smoak: We are going on a honeymoon, right?
- Cayden James: You were always the enigma, Mr. Sobel, the Vigilante willing to ally himself with criminals to take out other vigilantes. I confess I never totally bought into it. Given your background as an undercover operative, I would have been a fool. I don't strike you as a fool, do I?
- Vincent Sobel: No. You are coming off a little crazy, though. I've done good work for you. I got no love for Oliver Queen. You know that.
- Cayden James: I don't know anything for certain. That's what this is for.
- [Dargon cuts Vince's face and it heals]
- Cayden James: I must admit that is fascinating.
- Vincent Sobel: You can torture me all want. You'll keep getting the same answer. I didn't do anything.
- Cayden James: I admire your tenacity, but even a man who's difficult to kill cannot withstand torture, at least not forever.
- Anatoly Knyazev: In my country, we do things a little - how do you say - dirtier.
- Cayden James: We'll give the two of you some privacy.
- Anatoly Knyazev: [uncovers torture tools] Okey-dokey. Where shall we begin?
- Oliver Queen: $70 million. At this point, we've got maybe another day or two.
- Thea Queen: What about the federal government? I mean, don't they have plans for this kind of stuff?
- Oliver Queen: A.R.G.U.S. was our best shot, and Cayden James was ready for it. I... I think that we are on our own.
- Thea Queen: How's William holding up?
- Oliver Queen: Doing as well as can be expected. He's holed up at an A.R.G.U.S. safehouse with Raisa and a PlayStation 4.
- Thea Queen: Cayden James is not the first guy to try to take our city hostage. We will figure it out.
- Thea Queen: Quentin, what's up?
- Quentin Lance: Uh, she's been following me.
- Thea Queen: Laurel?
- Quentin Lance: Yeah. It's... it-it started a couple of days ago.
- Thea Queen: Okay. Have you talked to her?
- Quentin Lance: Not quite.
- [showing her a picture on his phone]
- Quentin Lance: Every time I turn around, she disappears.
- Thea Queen: What do you think it means?
- Quentin Lance: I think maybe we made some kind of connection. She wants to reach out, but... she's afraid. Does that sound crazy?
- Thea Queen: No. Not after everything we've seen lately. No.
- Quentin Lance: So what do we do?
- Thea Queen: If it seems like she's trying to reach out to you, then... I don't know, maybe we just got to find a way for you to reach out to her.
- John Diggle: What exactly are we walking ourselves into here?
- Felicity Smoak: We have no idea. It's a surveillance dead zone. We can't really see a thing.
- Rene Ramirez: No surprise there.
- Felicity Smoak: The place is massive.
- Oliver Queen: Then we need everybody.
- [Dinah, Rene, and Curtis all stare at him]
- Oliver Queen: Agreed?
- Bethany Snow: Cayden James' hold on Star City has reached eight days and counting now, with all routes in and out of the city under James' control. Though Mayor Queen has urged for calm, tensions are running high as the threat of the thermobaric bomb continues to loom. With supplies running low and desperation growing, many are left wondering, how long will the city last before it implodes?
- Quentin Lance: [watching on his smartphone] That's a damn good question.
- Vincent Sobel: You're late.
- Dinah Drake: Sorry. SCPD's been dealing with the fallout from last night's debacle.
- Vincent Sobel: I didn't know about the A.R.G.U.S. team until after Cayden killed them.
- Dinah Drake: Cayden James likes to play things close to the vest, even with the people he's supposedly in league with.
- Vincent Sobel: Which makes finding the location of the thermobaric bomb very difficult. You believe me, right, about not knowing about the A.R.G.U.S. divers?
- Dinah Drake: I already told you I do.
- Vincent Sobel: I guess what I'm asking is do you trust me?
- Dinah Drake: [giving him a passionate kiss] Does that answer your question?
- Vincent Sobel: Didn't know we were having a clubhouse meeting. Only boys allowed today or what?
- Cayden James: Ms. Lance is en route. This is less a meeting than it is a wake for Mr. Sheck.
- Vincent Sobel: He bought the farm a week ago. I didn't think we were sentimental like that.
- Ricardo Diaz: It's not sentimental. Surprised.
- Anatoly Knyazev: Oliver would not kill man this way. None of his team would.
- Vincent Sobel: The place wasn't lacking for cops. One of them probably took him out.
- Vincent Sobel: What's really behind this sudden paranoia?
- Cayden James: Mr. Queen was obviously able to get word outside the cordon we placed around the city.
- Vincent Sobel: To A.R.G.U.S., you mean? He seems more than capable.
- Cayden James: Agreed, but it was unexpected, as was Mr. Sheck's demise. I don't like surprises, and I like even less the feeling that I can't trust my comrades.
- Vincent Sobel: It sounds like it's just me you don't trust.
- Cayden James: If I didn't, you wouldn't be drawing breath right now, Mr. Sobel.
- Oliver Queen: Any news here?
- Felicity Smoak: We split the city in half with the other team. Divide and conquer is not getting us any closer to finding Cayden James. Our sector has been quiet for a few hours.
- [her computer beeps]
- Felicity Smoak: "Has been" being the operative phrase.
- Felicity Smoak: I can't believe that you have time to secretly put all this together and continue starting our startup.
- Curtis Holt: Well, being single does wonders for your time management.
- Felicity Smoak: Okay. On your next date, you are not allowed to lead with that.
- Oliver Queen: What kind of progress are you making locating the bomb?
- Vincent Sobel: Not much. Cayden keeps the bomb on the move constantly, and has become especially paranoid since I killed one of his men. Your stunt with A.R.G.U.S. last night didn't help matters.
- Oliver Queen: So why don't you just take us to where Cayden and his men are hiding?
- Vincent Sobel: Because the second you show up, he'll detonate the bomb. With the amplifier he has, he'll take out the city.
- Rene Ramirez: He's right, and until we find out where that bomb is, we've got no moves.
- Oliver Queen: Dinah, Curtis, and Rene trust you. I'm not there yet.
- Vincent Sobel: I want you to try to imagine how little I give a damn.
- Oliver Queen: You've taken a shot at me. Matter of fact, you've taken a shot at nearly everybody in that room, so I will be convinced that you are not playing us the way that you claim to be playing Cayden James.
- Vincent Sobel: I don't have to convince you, because you're not stopping me from doing this.
- Oliver Queen: Are you sure?
- Vincent Sobel: I am, because you know saving this city means doing whatever's necessary, and you know that means using me.
- Oliver Queen: Anything yet?
- Felicity Smoak: Well, if by "anything", you mean the location of the bomb, no, not yet.
- John Diggle: Okay. How much longer is this gonna take?
- Rene Ramirez: Yeah. How much longer do I got to be here, 'cause I'm starting to get PTSD.
- Alena: Boom goes the dynamite!
- Felicity Smoak: [high-fiving] Oh, yeah!
- Curtis Holt: Maybe not the best choice of words, considering the circumstances.
- Felicity Smoak: Oh, if by "circumstances", you mean locating Cayden's bomb, then, yes, we just did.
- Oliver Queen: Where?
- Felicity Smoak: Warehouse district, 10th and Valley.
- Anatoly Knyazev: [Oliver finds a group of people strapped to a bomb] Hello, kapiushon. No need for me to explain choice here, yes?
- Green Arrow: I thought you were an honorable man.
- Anatoly Knyazev: I am. Why else I give you choice? Find bomb or save...
- [Oliver fires an arrow and short-circuits the radio]
- Spartan: Go. I'll take care of them.
