Quotes 

• Green Arrow : We almost have proof that I didn't kill your son.

  Cayden James : A desperate gambit.

  Green Arrow : Cayden, give me more time.

  Cayden James : Time, I'm afraid, is a commodity you and your city have run out of. Mr. Sobel's betrayal convinced me that there's little good in delaying matters further. Accordingly, I will be detonating the thermobaric bomb over Star City at midnight. My son will find justice in the ashes of your beloved city.

• Oliver Queen : Cayden is going to detonate the bomb in four hours. Where are we with the video?

  Felicity Smoak : Well, we're running our photographic analysis algorithm to reveal the original footage.

  John Diggle : How long will that take?

  Alena : As long as it takes. The algorithm Felicity and Curtis wrote works wonders on a still image, but this is 24 FPS video we're talking about here, so...

  Oliver Queen : Right. Cayden just told us that we are running out of time.

  Alena : There's something you should consider. You're putting all of your chips down on a bet that he'll spare the city if he thinks you're not responsible for his son's death.

  John Diggle : That's because it's the only play we have, Alena.

  Alena : I'm just saying you might be trying to reason with a man who's beyond reason.

• Oliver Queen : We need to consider the A.R.G.U.S. airlift option.

  John Diggle : Oliver, we've already talked about this. James will see it coming.

  Oliver Queen : We need to consider something.

• Oliver Queen : Who is that?

  Felicity Smoak : Facial recognition just picked him up as Karl Iscove, paid assassin.

  John Diggle : With a bow and arrow?

  Felicity Smoak : A bow and arrow's not his usual M.O., but I'm guessing it was a special request by whoever hired him to kill Cayden's son.

  John Diggle : All to set you up. We need to have a conversation with this Iscove, find out who hired him.

  Oliver Queen : He's dead.

  John Diggle : What?

  Felicity Smoak : [Oliver turns to look at her]  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The assassin was assassinated not long after Owen Post.

• Felicity Smoak : I'm guessing Cayden doesn't care about people knowing his location now that his bomb is about to go off.

  Alena : He's almost on the I-86.

  Felicity Smoak : He's psycho, but he's smart, meaning doesn't want to be anywhere near the boom when the boom goes boom.

  John Diggle : We'll never catch him.

  Oliver Queen : I have an idea.

• Alena : You got to be kidding me. Please tell me you're kidding me.

  Oliver Queen : The only way to stop James from destroying the city is by delivering him his people.

  Felicity Smoak : Lead them to the slaughter, you mean.

  Oliver Queen : I won't let that happen.

• Alena : You don't even know for sure that one of them did it. I mean, none of them were working for Cayden when he received the video.

  Oliver Queen : But they were working for him when he received the doctored photo. It has to be one of those people, Alena. It is either Diaz, Anatoly, or Black Siren.

  Alena : You hope. What if Cayden is lying?

  Felicity Smoak : Well, we got bigger problems than that. I mean, what makes you think that we can find Cayden's BFFs if he can't?

  John Diggle : If they're smart, they're out of the city by now.

  Oliver Queen : They're smart, but so is he. He grouped them together by promising to fly them out before the blast.

  Felicity Smoak : Thank goodness for small favors and guillible bad guys.

• Cayden James : I must say this visit is somewhat predictable.

  Oliver Queen : Well, I needed to look you in the eyes, Cayden. I need to know that this surrender of yours isn't some sort of ploy. I've had bad luck with that tactic.

  Cayden James : You prevented me from doing the unspeakable last night. I'm sure Owen would have been ashamed of me, but then he always was.

  [handing over a piece of paper] 

  Cayden James : These are my best guesses as to where you might find my former allies, along with the account number to a bank in Corto Maltese where I placed all the money I embezzled from the city.

  Oliver Queen : Thank you.

  Cayden James : I would ask one thing in return. Permission to visit my son's grave.

  Oliver Queen : I can arrange that.

  Cayden James : [Oliver turns to leave]  Be a better father than I was, Oliver.

• Oliver Queen : What you did was very dangerous.

  William Clayton : I know. And I'm sorry.

  Oliver Queen : I am never gonna let anything happen to you, William, ever. And I am promising you that I will do everything I can to make sure nothing happens to me.

  William Clayton : You can't make that promise.

  Oliver Queen : I can make that promise. I just did. I am right now. Kiddo, I've been doing this a long time. So trust me. Okay?

  William Clayton : Okay.

  Oliver Queen : Thank you.
