- Ricardo Diaz: [to Cayden James] This city, ah this city, it's primed for a takeover. See, guys like you never understand these things. Why destroy a city when you can take it over?
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Black Canary: What are you two doing here?
- Mr. Terrific: Looking for you. SCPD says you weren't in today.
- Wild Dog: We were wondering if you were gonna do something stupid. Guess we were wrong.
- Black Canary: I am looking for her to get justice for Vincent.
- Mr. Terrific: Why do you say "justice" like it's cold-blooded murder?
- Rene Ramirez: I know you're hurting, D, but Felicity called. We've got 'till midnight before James lets his bomb do its thing. As much as we feel for you, that seems like the priority.
- Mr. Terrific: He's right. Now is not the time to go off the deep end.
- Black Canary: I can't let this go. I'm sorry.
- Rene Ramirez: D.
- Black Canary: I love you both, but stay the hell out of my way.
