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.

• 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.

• Ricardo Diaz : The new police captain, she's on my payroll, along with a few other city officials. Arclight was a big help in thinning the herd for me.

  Cayden James : I suspect you're not done thinning the herd.

  Ricardo Diaz : Well, you were always talking about how much you missed your son.

  [stabbing him in the neck] 

  Ricardo Diaz : In case you didn't know, I'm the one who had him killed. Tell your boy... I said hello.

• Cayden James : As you are well aware, Arclight is now in its final phase. And now it's time for us to take our leave.

  Anatoly Knyazev : Words much appreciate, but how are we to get out of city?

  Cayden James : Stay close to your phones. You will be airlifted from the city before the bomb goes off. After it does, your individual shares of the ransom will be wired into offshore accounts that have been set up for each of you.

  Anatoly Knyazev : Sounds fair. Lucrative.

  Cayden James : Indeed. Thank you for helping to see this project to fruition. I don't think I need to stress how... personally important this has been for me. Thank you for all you've done to get justice for my boy.
