- Oliver Queen: That wasn't Mirakuru.
- Roy Harper: No.
- Oliver Queen: How did it happen?
- Roy Harper: What do you mean?
- Oliver Queen: How did you die?
- Roy Harper: How did you know?
- Oliver Queen: You, Thea, and Nyssa left here over a year ago in search of Lazarus Pits, and I have not seen bloodlust like that since Thea was resurrected by one.
- Oliver Queen: What do you want?
- Emiko Queen: For you to suffer the way I suffered. You and your team are gonna die in there. And I will be out there destroying your legacy. You'll die a villain just like our father did, and I will be the cause of both of your deaths. And justice will finally be served.
- Oliver Queen: What did you say?
- Emiko Queen: I had the chance to warn our father about the Gambit. It was rigged to explode, and I knew about it. I let our father die because he didn't deserve to live. And neither do you.
- [holding up a detonator]
- Emiko Queen: Bye, brother.
- Roy Harper: Oh. So this is what legit looks like.
- John Diggle: That's right. A badge and a bunker.
- Roy Harper: Never thought I'd see the day.
- Felicity Smoak: We knew that the Ninth Circle wanted to maximize the bio-weapon's impact. There were two possible locations to do that: the ventilation room and the ventilation shaft. Oliver went to one, John and Rene went to the other. Roy and I went to the switch room.
- [flashback to them entering said room]
- Felicity Smoak: Oh, wow! This thing is a fossil, and not in a fun Ice Age way.
- Dinah Drake: [holding Oliver in an interrogation room] We've got two dead guards and one hell of a mess. Your team was on-site. I think you better start talking.
- Felicity Smoak: Oh, thank god. Please tell me the news that you are bringing is about Emiko and her Ninth Circle buddies because I have had no luck with my "typity-type finding anything" thing.
- Dinah Drake: Oh, well, you're in luck now. Dante, not so much. A couple SCPD beat cops found his body this morning.
- Rene Ramirez: Let me guess, not from natural causes.
- Dinah Drake: Not unless you call three arrows and a knife to the chest natural.
- John Diggle: This was after you told Emiko that Dante killed her mother. Can't be a coincidence.
- Oliver Queen: No. She went ahead and killed the only father figure she had left.
- Felicity Smoak: Right. So that's a "no" on the evil sister redeeming herself, then.
- Roy Harper: According to Felicity, all Emiko had to do was fill that device with some sort of killer bacteria and Star City would've turned into a real-life horror movie.
- Dinah Drake: Cygnus X-1.
- Roy Harper: So she ran some sort of algorithm and came up with a few possible places.
- Sergeant Bingsley: And that eventually led you to the subway. Cut to the chase. What happened when you got there? Specifically, what happened after you left Felicity?
- Roy Harper: I didn't want to leave her, but she insisted. We thought the Ninth Circle might have showed up.
- [in voiceover, as the scene flashes back]
- Roy Harper: Turns out we were right. Those guys in the hoods jumped me. After I took out the first one, they just... just kept coming.
- [as he fights, he's overwhelmed]
- Roy Harper: I tried to fight back, but there were just too many of them. The last thing I remember is I was taking a mace to the face before everything went black. And when I came to, you all were on the scene, and the guards, they were already dead.
- Sergeant Bingsley: So you have absolutely no idea who may have killed them.
- Dinah Drake: It's rather convenient, don't you think? You being unconscious at the same time two men are brutally murdered?
- Roy Harper: What, you... you think I did it? Whose side are you on?
- Dinah Drake: I am on the only side that matters: the truth. Now, why don't you stop wasting my time and tell me what really happened?
- Dinah Drake: Two innocent people are dead, and we're covering it up.
- Oliver Queen: Dinah, if someone on this team goes down, this entire team goes down.
- John Diggle: He's absolutely right. And if Pollard knew the truth, we would be sitting in lockup while the city rehashes whether vigilantes are a threat or not.
- Felicity Smoak: Which would free Emiko up for evil plan B.
- Rene Ramirez: But Roy is not a part of this team. He's been gone for months doing who knows what.
- Oliver Queen: With due respect, you don't know what he's been through. Roy is and always will be as much a part of this team as the rest of us.
- John Diggle: [after the events in the subway] Dinah, as horrible as that was, let's not lose sight that we stopped an attack tonight.
- Rene Ramirez: And we framed Emiko for murder.
- Oliver Queen: Emiko's a murderer. A murderer who's the leader of the Ninth Circle. And as long as she is out there, this city will remain under threat.
- John Diggle: I hope we can all agree on that.
- Dinah Drake: Yes.
- Felicity Smoak: My search algorithms are up and running. It might actually be a good time to go ask Roy what happened.
- Oliver Queen: I'm pretty sure I already know.
- Dinah Drake: We found two emerald arrows at the scene. The new Green Arrow. Why don't you tell me about her involvement at the subway tonight?
- Oliver Queen: She was there.
- Sergeant Bingsley: She? How do you know that?
- Dinah Drake: I think it's time we tell people the truth.
- Oliver Queen: The new Green Arrow is my half-sister. Her name is Emiko Adachi.
- Dinah Drake: She belongs to a terrorist organization called the Ninth Circle. The vigilantes have been tracking her for a few weeks now.
- Sergeant Bingsley: Why didn't you inform the SCPD?
- Oliver Queen: Because the Ninth Circle is just a little bit beyond the SCPD, Officer.
- Dinah Drake: The vigilante/SCPD relationship works best when we operate as a covert unit.
- Sergeant Bingsley: Doesn't seem so in this case.
- Dinah Drake: Well, I'm usually kept aware of what's going on, but I did not know about this. Care to explain why?
- Oliver Queen: Things started moving pretty quickly after you told us about Dante.
- Dinah Drake: You do understand what "accomplice to murder" means, right?
- Felicity Smoak: You can't be serious.
- Sergeant Bingsley: Tonight's security footage from Hudolin McGuire subway station mysteriously disappeared. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?
- Felicity Smoak: Nope. Nothing, zilch, nada.
- Sergeant Bingsley: She's covering for her husband.
- Felicity Smoak: Oh, come...
- Dinah Drake: That certainly is convenient. And when exactly were you planning on telling me about Roy Harper's involvement?
- Felicity Smoak: Honestly? After we saved Star City from the Ninth Circle's attack. We know how you guys feel about "the unsanctioned."
- Felicity Smoak: Let's get real. Emiko and the Ninth Circle know our faces. Roy was our ace in the hole.
- Dinah Drake: So you risked your new relationship with the SCPD by teaming up with a criminal.
- Felicity Smoak: Former criminal. Roy left the city four years ago, and he's been on the straight and narrow ever since.
- Dinah Drake: Are you sure about that?
- Felicity Smoak: Yes, I'm sure about that.
- Dinah Drake: Because we traced Harper's whereabouts after he faked his death in prison to get Oliver Queen off the hook, and his trail went cold in March of last year.
- Felicity Smoak: Oh. You mean when Ricardo Diaz kidnapped Roy to turn him against Oliver? You might have forgotten about that since you weren't exactly on speaking terms with Oliver and I at the time.
- Dinah Drake: It still doesn't explain where he went after getting freed from Diaz.
- Felicity Smoak: I'm sure the kidnapping was extremely traumatic. He probably just went to go get some R and R; some Roy relaxation.
- [seeing Dinah's stony face]
- Felicity Smoak: Not funny. I see that now.
- Felicity Smoak: How's Thea?
- Roy Harper: Oh, she's good. Yeah, I think she's finally found her passion. You'd be really proud of her.
- Oliver Queen: Last I spoke with her, she says you were zeroing in on the remaining Lazarus Pits.
- Roy Harper: Yeah, we found two already, which we destroyed.
- Oliver Queen: Mm-hmm.
- Roy Harper: We were tracking the rest when we got your call. Speaking of which, why'd you ask me to come here instead of Thea?
- Felicity Smoak: Star City's new terrorist is Oliver's new sister.
- Roy Harper: What?
- Oliver Queen: Yeah.
- Roy Harper: Don't you think Thea would want to know that?
- Felicity Smoak: [simultaneously with Oliver] Yeah.
- Oliver Queen: Yes. And I have every intention of telling her. I just... this woman's name is Emiko, and we wanted to get her into custody before we told her. I just... I feel like she's finally free of her life in Star City, and I-I don't want to hurt her again with a wound inflicted on our family by our father.
- Arsenal: Can you shut it down?
- Felicity Smoak: Well, once I shut down the ventilation path, we should be able to minimize the damage.
- Dinah Drake: Roy Harper, you are a hard man to track down.
- Roy Harper: I've been traveling.
- Sergeant Bingsley: So we've heard. Whereabouts, exactly?
- Roy Harper: The world.
- Dinah Drake: Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
- Sergeant Bingsley: You've got quite the rap sheet, Mr. Harper. B&E, grand theft auto, aggravated assault.
- Dinah Drake: So is that why you came back to Star City, Roy, to steal a device from Aerodyne?
- Roy Harper: I came back to help prevent Emiko from stealing it. She's the one you guys should be going after.
- Dinah Drake: We will. But first, why don't you tell us what happened after you failed to stop her?
- Roy Harper: I went back to the bunker to figure out a new plan.
- John Diggle: I told you, Roy was unconscious when I found him, and that was before the guards fired their sidearms.
- Sergeant Bingsley: So you don't think he killed them.
- John Diggle: I just don't see how he could have.
- Dinah Drake: You don't have to protect him, John.
- John Diggle: Dinah, I'm not.
- Dinah Drake: Right. Right, but that is what you do, isn't it? You always put other people's lives before your own. At some point, you might discover not everybody's worth it.
- John Diggle: Look, you don't know Roy Harper the way I do. He's had his troubles. But deep inside, he's a very good man.
- Dinah Drake: Well, you're very quick to defend Roy. What about yourself?
- John Diggle: Why? Are you asking me if I killed those guards?
- Dinah Drake: It certainly doesn't help that you have blood on your sleeve.
- Sergeant Bingsley: Walk us through what happened after you arrived.
- Rene Ramirez: Emiko, it's not too late. Let me help you.
- Emiko Queen: I don't need your help. I spared you once. This time, I won't be so generous.
- Rene Ramirez: Why are you doing this?
- Emiko Queen: Because the Queens took everything from me. Now it's my turn to take everything from them.
- Rene Ramirez: [holstering his pistol] This isn't you. You care about the Glades. You're dressed as the new Green Arrow, and you killed Dante.
- Emiko Queen: And that proves what, exactly?
- Rene Ramirez: That finding your mother's killer means more to you than the Ninth Circle. Why else would you risk murdering their leader?
- Emiko Queen: You really don't get it. Dante wasn't their leader. I am.
- Rene Ramirez: Your mother would hate what you've become.
- Oliver Queen: To help, I-I need to know what happened.
- Roy Harper: The Thanatos Guild had us surrounded. I tried to get Thea to safety, but I was hit with an arrow, which... which is ironic. I don't really remember a lot after, except for... except for seeing Nyssa and Thea destroy the Pit.
- Oliver Queen: The one they used to bring you back.
- Roy Harper: Yeah. Nyssa had the lotus elixir. She and Thea thought that we could control the bloodlust, and we did.
- Oliver Queen: Until you didn't.
- Roy Harper: I keep trying to figure out why. And all I can think of is that maybe the Mirakuru changed something.
- Oliver Queen: Mm, yeah.
- Roy Harper: You know, I never would've come back here if I would've known what was gonna happen. I never meant to hurt anyone.
- Oliver Queen: I know. But keeping this information from us, it jeopardized all the things that we have been working for this year.
- Roy Harper: I never asked you to cover for me. I didn't want you to.
- Oliver Queen: You never have to ask me. Ever.
- Oliver Queen: This is... this whole thing is ridiculous. The real danger is still out there.
- Sergeant Bingsley: I don't think you get to decide the real danger, Mr. Queen.
- Oliver Queen: We went to the subway platform to stop a terrorist attack, which we did, but the people that we were after are still on the loose.
- Dinah Drake: Well, luckily we have half the department out there right now following the same lead.
- Oliver Queen: Do you think that these are average street thugs, Dinah? These are terrorists that tried to release a biological agent in Star City. Thousands of people could have died.
- Sergeant Bingsley: Two people did die.
