Oliver Queen : Hello, Emiko. I know everything.
Emiko Queen : You've wasting your time coming here.
Oliver Queen : What our father did to you, to your mother, was unforgivable. I need to try and make things right.
-
Oliver Queen : I can prove to you that I'm nothing like him.
Emiko Queen : You're a Queen. All you know is how to leverage your own privilege to help yourself.
Oliver Queen : What happened to you was wrong. You should have been a part of our lives. You should be a part of my life now.
Emiko Queen : Why do you think I want anything to do with the Queens? 'Cause your family destroys anything it touches.
Oliver Queen : I just want a chance. Just give me a chance. Emiko... you're my sister.
Emiko Queen : I have no family.
-
Felicity Smoak : You were amazing. You were genuine and heartfelt and amazing, and for a second there, I almost believed that you liked Laurel.
Oliver Queen : I almost do.
-
Felicity Smoak : If Dinah's goal is to convince the city to accept you as SCPD, I would say mission accomplished.
Oliver Queen : We'll see.
Felicity Smoak : Emiko will come around, too.
Oliver Queen : Well, she has every right to be angry. My father abandoned her. I just... I need her to see that he and I are not the same person.
Felicity Smoak : Well, she will because you're not the same person. Look, that was an excellent first step. If you can prove yourself to the city, you can convince your sister to give you a chance.
Oliver Queen : I hope you're right.
-
Dinah Drake : You know, we knew not everyone was gonna be a fan of you working here. I mean, you should see my stack of hate mail, and that was without everyone knowing about me.
Oliver Queen : Hmm. Mm-mm. This guy's an amateur. The video quality, the execution, he's new at this.
Officer Crawford : He also didn't do a very good job covering his tracks. The video was uploaded from a coffee shop in the southeast quadrant of the Glades.
Oliver Queen : Do we have satellite imagery there?
Officer Crawford : I think so. Hold on.
Dinah Drake : What are we looking for?
Oliver Queen : We're looking for windows. If he didn't know to cover his tracks, he might not have gone too far from home.
[pointing to a satellite image]
Oliver Queen : There.
Dinah Drake : That's a match. Let's go get him.
-
Oliver Queen : Kannon's been moved.
Dinah Drake : Nothing down here, either.
Oliver Queen : [a man in a hoodie runs past] I got a visual, southeast corner.
Dinah Drake : Copy. Closing in from below.
-
Oliver Queen : We got the reporter. The kidnapper got away.
Felicity Smoak : That's not the only thing that's bothering you.
Oliver Queen : It was something that he said. "People without the last name Queen are human beings, too."
Felicity Smoak : Oh, and you disagree?
[seeing his look]
Felicity Smoak : I agree. The timing's funny. What with your secret half-sister mysteriously returning into your life, it's strange.
Oliver Queen : It's not that it's strnage. It's familiar. The psychiatric records from Slabside that you leaked to the press. Can you pull up my transcript with Dr. Parker?
Felicity Smoak : Not exactly sure what that has to do with anything, but yes, I can.
-
Felicity Smoak : "What became of Hackett? Your father shot him. Then what? He doesn't matter in this story, just collateral damage?"
Felicity Smoak , Oliver Queen : People without the last name Queen are human beings, too.
Felicity Smoak : The files I sent to the press were redacted.
Oliver Queen : The ones you sent to the D.A. weren't.
Felicity Smoak : So the kidnapper hacked them, but why? Why these particular sessions with Parker?
-
Oliver Queen : Can you look up Hackett, first name David?
Felicity Smoak : Hackett, David, died in 2007. Survived by his son Sam, no other living relatives.
Oliver Queen : I met Sam a few times growing up.
Felicity Smoak : Yeah, he's got quite the rap sheet; assault, assault with intent, a bunch of drunk and disorderlies.
Oliver Queen : His father was lost at sea.
Felicity Smoak : Or so he thought, until he read your sessions with Parker.
Oliver Queen : And he found out his father murdered by my father. Emiko was right. My family destroys everything it touches.
-
Dinah Drake : I know you're new to this whole cop thing, but the SCPD is not exactly too popular in the Glades.
Oliver Queen : Right.
Dinah Drake : Where are we, anyway?
Oliver Queen : Kidnaapper's apartment. His name is Sam Hackett, and he has a degree in electrical engineering, and he has a motive. His father, Dave, was my father's bodyguard on the Queen's Gambit.
Dinah Drake : Wh-Why would he be going after you for that?
Oliver Queen : Dave made it to the life raft with my father and I. When my father realized that only one of us could survive, he shot him.
Dinah Drake : I didn't know.
Oliver Queen : Nobody knew, util Dr. Parker.
-
Dinah Drake : [searching Sam's apartment] Sam had a search trip planned to the North China Sea.
Oliver Queen : I'm sorry. He was still looking for his father? Still holding out hope he was alive? Why?
Dinah Drake : Because you survived.
-
Oliver Queen : Any luck with the evidence at Hackett's place?
Dinah Drake : Well, the guys in Tech are still working on IDing the fragments, but judging from his notes, plan B involves a lot more than just kidnapping a reporter. But we can't stop him if we don't know where he is.
Oliver Queen : I know one way you can stop him. Fire me. 77% of Star City agrees with me.
Dinah Drake : So that's what this is about, public opinion?
-
Oliver Queen : I wore that mask for a reason. Now that I've taken it off, maybe the consequences are finally catching up with me.
Dinah Drake : Well, you can't take responsibility for every choice some lunatic makes, you know?
Oliver Queen : No. I have to take responsibility for this. Me being on the force puts your reputation at risk, and it's putting lives in danger.
Dinah Drake : Cops face risks every day. That is the job. And you are not putting anyone's life in danger, not unless you stop fighting for them. You think you're gonna do one interview, and all of a sudden your problems go away overnight?
Oliver Queen : I think I have been so obsessed with proving to people I'm not my father that I didn't stop and at look at all the ways that I am exactly like him. I should have come clean with Sam years ago.
Dinah Drake : But you didn't, and you can't stop the past from haunting you. The only thing you have control over is what you do going forward.
-
Dinah Drake : Officer Selway, what do you got?
Lisa Selway : There's something strange about these fragments. There's a partial etching on some of them. Separately, they don't mean much, but you put them together, you get the logo for Star City Electric. They use it to tag proprietary parts.
Dinah Drake : Well, Hackett has a background in electrical engineering. Do you think he was moonlighting for this company?
Lisa Selway : I ran his sosh. There's no record of him working there.
Oliver Queen : Maybe try Dave Hackett. After his father died, Sam spiraled. Severe depression, got picked up for drugs. If he wanted to get a job, he'd have to find a way to hide that.
Lisa Selway : Well, damn. Someone with the father's sosh has been working at SC Electric since 2015.
Dinah Drake : Hey, doesn't the SCE use GPS trackers in their work vans now?
Lisa Selway : Yep. I'll run a trace.
-
Sam Hackett : Because you've aided and abetted Oliver Queen, you're all going to suffer. The static generated by the eletricity coursing through these walls right now, it makes this vest, and every substance that can hold a current, deadly.
Officer Crawford : What the hell do you want?
Sam Hackett : Oliver Queen. Until I find him, every minute, a body drops.
Oliver Queen : [hidden from view] He must've hacked into the electrical grid. I want you to get outside, and you shut it down. I'll stall him.
Dinah Drake : How? He wants you dead.
Oliver Queen : Just hurry.
-
Sam Hackett : So much for your hero. Who's ready to die?
Oliver Queen : Sam, that's enough. You want me? I'm right here. But I need you to let these people go. They have nothing to do with this.
Sam Hackett : Of course they do. SCPD, the news. They're the ones who allow you to fool everyone into thinking you're a hero, but I know what you really are.
Oliver Queen : I'm a liar, right, Sam? Because I did lie about your father. He was on the Queen's Gambit. He made it to the life raft. And before my father took his own life, he murdered your dad so that I could survive.
Sam Hackett : Good. You finally... you finally admit it.
Oliver Queen : I was worried that I was gonna be judged by the sins of my father... but... but not coming to you for all of these years and not telling you the truth, I never gave you a chance to get closure. That's on me. I'm truly sorry.
Sam Hackett : No, no, no, no. We are way, way past apologies. My father is gone because of you, and I need to make that right.
-
Sam Hackett : I'm going to give everyone here the chance to make a decision my father never got to: whether to live or die.
Oliver Queen : Sam, no one is dying tonight.
Sam Hackett : Kill him, you live. Don't, you all fry. You have 'till the count of three. One...
Oliver Queen : Don't do this, Sam.
Sam Hackett : Two.
Officer Crawford : [pointing his gun at Oliver] I don't want to die.
Oliver Queen : If you really believe that you have to do this, I understand.
Officer Crawford : Three. Pull the damn trigger.
[after a moment of hesitation, the officer lowers his gun]
Sam Hackett : Then I guess we all die.
[outside, Dinah shoots the electrical box, and power is restored; after a brief fight, Oliver restrains Sam]
Oliver Queen : Like I said, nobody dies tonight. That includes you.
-
Rich Kannon : I think the entire city can sleep a little more soundly knowing that Sam Hackett is behind bars.
Oliver Queen : Well, that's the reason I asked to be here today. I'd like to set the record straight. Twelve years ago, when my father's boat went down, he and I weren't the only two people to reach the life raft. A third individual, his bodyguard, Dave Hackett, was also aboard. Now, when my father realized that there wasn't enough food and water for everyone, as you know, he sacrificed himself for me. But before he took his own life, he took Dave Hackett's.
Rich Kannon : Your father killed Dave Hackett.
Oliver Queen : My father killed Dave Hackett. The people of S-Star City deserve the truth.
Rich Kannon : Why come forward now? Hackett has been apprehended. The threat is over.
Oliver Queen : Because transparency is about more than just not wearing a mask. I've made mistakes. I'm sure that I will make mistakes again. But what I will not do is lie. That is my promise to you, the people of Star City.
-
Oliver Queen : Laurel has a stalker?
Felicity Smoak : Yeah, it's been a crazy couple of days.
Oliver Queen : Yep.
Felicity Smoak : Speaking of, I saw your interview. I'm so proud of you. That couldn't have been easy.
Oliver Queen : It's a start. It's gonna take a lot more to convince the city I've changed.
Felicity Smoak : Oh, I think you'd be surprised.
[turning around, he sees Emiko nearby]
Felicity Smoak : I, um, I forgot... I forgot something over here.
-
Emiko Queen : I saw your interview. That took guts.
Oliver Queen : It was the truth. It took me too long to say it.
Emiko Queen : But you did. And that's a start.
-
Emiko Queen : When I was little, I imagined what it'd be like to live in the Queen mansion. Your lives seemed so glamorous... but even more than that, I imagined what it must have been like to have a family. Your father robbed me of that, something I swore I could never forgive. But I see now you are different from him.
Oliver Queen : I'm trying to be. Does all this mean you're ready to talk?
Emiko Queen : It means I'm ready to think about talking.
Oliver Queen : I'll take that.
-
Dinah Drake : Rich Kannon left the studio just after 8:00 to meet his wife for dinner, but never made it to the restaurant.
Officer Crawford : Never even made it to his car. They found it in a parking lot this morning.
Oliver Queen : Security cameras?
Dinah Drake : Every single one of them shorted out just a few minutes before Kannon disappeared.
Oliver Queen : Oh. Overhead lights were blown. Suggests a power surge.
Dinah Drake : That means our kidnapper knows his way around an electrical grid.
Officer Crawford : That takes planning. This wasn't just some random attack.
Oliver Queen : Well, maybe someone saw my interview and didn't like what they saw. This doesn't feel like a coincidence.
Dinah Drake : Well, probably not. But until we know more, we can't assume anything.
