Arrow (2012–…): Season 4, Episode 13 - Sins of the Father - full transcript

Previously on "Arrow"...

Oliver: Who's the blackmailer?

Roy: He calls himself
the calculator.

Felicity: Well, calculator
now has everything he needs

to melt the Internet.

Oh, my god. Dad?

Taiana, i need to
tell you something.

I killed your brother.

Thea!

What's happening?

It's the wound
from ra's.



If the life she
owes doesn't come

from taking others,
it will come

from the life
of the host.

Thea, please don't go.

There's only one way
to prevent that.

My father once told me
of an elixir known

as the lotus,

and i will freely give
it to you on one condition.

I want you to kill
Malcolm merlyn.

If you cared
about thea,

then curing
her bloodlust

wouldn't come
with any conditions.

Thea is my
sister-in-law.

You are my husband.



I'm not your husband.

But war does not know
family bonds

nor friendly sentiments.

Who are you
at war with?

I just told you
i want you to kill
Malcolm merlyn.

Try to guess.

Hey, hey.

If you have
a problem

with Malcolm merlyn,

deal with it
yourself.

Do not involve me
or my sister.

You put the demon's head
ring on Malcolm's hand.

You--

you can't
defeat him.

But you can.
You have.

And that was
before i knew

that he was
my sister's father.

So he dies
so his child might live.

Didn't your father make
a similar bargain?

I'm sorry, Oliver.

I would not resort
to this

if i had
any other choice.

Nyssa, my sister
is dying

because of something
that your father did.

I think you have
every choice.

Thea is dying because
of what her father did.

I am only following
events to their
inevitable conclusion.

You know, it's strange,

watching your baby girl
drink coffee.

Yeah. It would probably
be a little less strange

if you'd seen your
baby girl in the last
18 years.

You're right.

I don't suppose it
helps

if i say that i thought
staying out of your life

was the best thing
for you.

I was protecting you
and your mother.

You were protecting
yourself.

You were wanted
by the police,

and you didn't want
to go to jail.

That is why you
stayed away.

And you know why
the police were after me,

the type of criminal
i was?

Mom never went
into detail.

I assume petty stuff.

Anything else requires
commitment.

Well, I'm here now,

and i want us
to speak openly.

I'll answer
any questions you have.

Ok. I just have one
at the moment.

Why now?

I was doing a job
for someone.

Almost got beat, almost.

My adversary had
exceptional skills.

My curiosity piqued.

I investigated further.

Imagine
what i discovered...

Overwatch.

Bye.

See you never.

Felicity, wait.

It is not
what you think.

My employer, my work
is hardly diabolical.

I'll be sure to tell
that to my friend who
you blackmailed.

Short-term legal mischief
for long-term societal game.

Isn't that kind
of hacktivism exactly

what you did at mit?

Is it really
all that different

from the vigilantism
you practice today?

We are the same,
you and i.

I am pretty sure
that i didn't try

to kill 8,000 people.

An empty threat,
i swear to you.

I know i have no right.

I'm asking for a chance,

a chance to prove to you

that I'm not a bad guy

and that I'm not
a "bad guy."

What is that?

A record of some
of the hacks I've done

throughout the years.

I've selected ones that
could be verified

by news accounts
so you know

I'm telling the truth.

This is very simple
for me, Felicity.

I want to be back
in your life.

I know that doing that
will require

earning your trust back.

I hope this is
a first step

down that very long road.

So nyssa's holding
thea's life hostage

until you kill
Malcolm merlyn?

I would be surprised
if she wasn't

the daughter
of the demon.

That's not funny, John.

No, it's not.
Thea's dying.

She has one,
maybe two days,

and if we can
save her

by killing the man
that killed
my sister,

then how could you
even think twice
about that?

I'm not gonna
defend Malcolm.

He orchestrated
your sister's murder,

he killed Tommy.

Nothing is ever gonna
changed the fact

that he is thea's family.

I don't know how much
you remember of my father,

but he was not
a good man,

threw in
with Malcolm merlyn,

and all of that being said,
there is nothing

that i wouldn't do
to have him back.

So you tell me how am i
supposed to take that
away from thea?

But, Oliver, what's
the difference if thea dies?

It doesn't have to
come to that, John.

There's more than
one choice here.

-Like what?
-Diplomacy.

What does nyssa want?

I mean, all nyssa
really wants is control
of the league,

so i need to convince
Merlin to give her the ring,

she gives us the cure,
and no one has to die.

Laurel, can you
convince nyssa to go
along with that?

Yeah. It's easier
than talking
Malcolm into it.

Well, let me worry
about Malcolm.

I don't understand.

Why would you save me
only to kill my brother?

He attacked me.

Vlad would never do
such a thing.

I was defending
myself,

and i did not know
he was your brother.

Would that have made
a difference?

I didn't
have a choice.

There is always
a choice.

I couldn't just
let him kill me.

I'm done with you.

Taiana, i have
something that
reiter wants.

Where did you
get that?

It doesn't matter.

I think that we can
use this against him.

I have a better idea.

-Hey!
-Hey, tai--

get reiter.

Tell him i want to
talk to him.

I have something
that he wants.

Let me see if I've
got this right.

There's a magic potion
that could cure
thea's bloodlust

that we've never
heard of

but nyssa
conveniently has.

I've been holding off
telling you this
for years, Oliver.

You're very handsome,

not especially bright.

Bright enough
to have checked.

It's called the lotus.

Tatsu yamashiro is
part of the order
who guards it--or did.

They gave it to nyssa,

and if we don't get her
to give it to thea now...

We're gonna lose her.

Even assuming such
an elixir existed,

even assuming
miss yamashiro's order

parted with it
willingly,

even assuming
nyssa al ghul's words

could be trusted,
then yes.

Of course
I'd do anything to
save my daughter,

but none of that
is true, Oliver.

Look. I appreciate
you're trying to embrace

a more optimistic
viewpoint these days--

Malcolm, we're talking
about your daughter.

Yes, and i need to do
something to save her,

and you need to stop
wasting my time

with nyssa al ghul's
games.

Man: We found her
at the perimeter.

She claims to be
a friend.

And she speaks
the truth,

at least until she
defiled my beloved

and stood idly by
while i was left to rot

in a dungeon.

Leave us.

Nyssa...

How is my beloved?

Sara's good.
She's whole.

I think she's happy.

If you're here
about thea--

nyssa, what are
you doing?

Protecting
my birthright.

By holding thea's
life hostage?

You say that as if
she didn't fire the arrows

that felled
your sister.

You and i both
know that wasn't
her doing.

Yes. It was
Malcolm merlyn,

and the time has come
for recompense.

I will never
forgive merlyn

for all the horrible
things that he's done.

He's taken people,
two very special people

away from me.

Don't you think
i want him dead?

Then why are you here?

Because if you want
merlyn dead,

then you have to
drive that sword,

and if you can't
or if you won't,

then we'll need to
negotiate a compromise.

You have my attention.

Oliver convinces merlyn
to give up the power,

and you...

And you give us
the cure.

I would accept
those terms,

but merlyn
never will.

Let us worry
about that.

And by "us," you
mean my husband?

Oliver's speaking
with merlyn right now,

and merlyn--he is
a bastard,

but there is nothing
that he wouldn't do
to save his daughter.

I hope so
because if he doesn't

it won't just be
thea's life that
is forfeit.

What do you mean?

There will be war,
and the streets

of your home
will run red

with the blood
of our enemies,

whomever
they may be.

How'd it go
with merlyn?

Not good. Nyssa?

She brought an army,
but if you get her the ring,

she'll play ball.

We can get this done
with no one getting hurt.

Everything all right?

No, not really.
I mean, it's not great.

It's just not quite
at the level

of "my sister's
on her deathbed"
kind of bad, so...

What happened?

My dad came back.

John: And why is
that a bad thing?

Well, it's an extremely
long story,

but you remember
the superhacker who
blackmailed Roy?

-Same guy.
-What?

Your father is...

Calculator.
He showed up

at my Palmer tech
presentation.

I had coffee
with him yesterday,

where he dropped
the calculator bomb on me.

John: And why
would he do that?

Apparently now that
he knows what i do,

that we're both
"vigilantes,"

we have something
in common.

The sickest part is
i want to believe him.

I wish there were
some sort of test

i could do that would
prove that he is who
he says he is.

A test is
a good idea.

It's a good idea
for you and for us.

I've got a way
to bring merlyn

to the bargaining table.

I'm not usually one
to be summoned
by my prisoners.

I heard you had
something for me.

Taiana, please. No.

I have something
you want.

Let me out of this cage,
and it's yours.

Show me
what you have.

Magnificent.

Do we have a deal?

A deal?

You misunderstood.

It's mine
either way.

Ohh!

I cannot stay here,
reiter.

This man killed
my brother.

And you will
continue to
care for him

as if he were
your brother.

Mr. queen is
an important piece

of my endeavor
on this island.

You'll stay with him
until he's well.

If his health gets worse,

you'll join him
in his fate.

Your left-side block
is slow.

Your next opponent
won't have my Patience

or my mercy.

Clearly you don't
understand how this is

supposed to work,
my husband.

You were supposed to bring
the magician with you.

Well, i need something
from you first--

proof that what
you're offering
is real.

A stalling tactic.

Al sa-her thinks
me the fool

or that you're one.

Or maybe he doesn't
trust the woman

trying to take
the demon's head
ring from him.

Can't imagine why.

Bring me a sample
of the lotus.

I recognize
what you are doing.

Part of me
even respects it,

but the leadership
of the league of assassins

is in the balance here.

It is naive to think
this can be resolved

without bloodshed.

This amount is not
sufficient to cure
her permanently,

only to provide
the assurance
merlyn seeks.

Thank you, nyssa.

As i said, someone
is going to die.

I pray it won't
be your sister.

Was it difficult to
get her discharged
from the hospital?

No. I spoke
to Dr. lamb.

Friend of the family.

Nyssa...

She hooked us up
with a sample of the cure.

This buys thea
some more time,

and you get the proof
that you need.

Let's see it.

What are
nyssa's terms?

You hand over the ring,

she gives us the rest
of the elixir,

and thea lives.

When can we meet?

Tonight.

Laurel's with her now.

Hi! I got your--

oh, no.

Oh, no. You have
Mr. square bear face.

What?

Mr. square bear.
Oh, my god.

You don't remember.
You lost him when you

were, like, 4 years old,

and you had
that exact--

you had that exact look
on your face.

Oh, baby.

Is it too much
to hope that you lost

a plushy toy?

No, but adjusting
for age and inflation,

might be just as bad.

Huh?

You want to sit?

What? What's up?

It's dad.

Noah--he's
in star city.

What? How do you know?

He came to see me.

[Sighs]

Did you talk
to him?

Yeah.

Are you all right?

Yeah. You sound like
you think he'd hurt
me or something.

Yeah.

I've just been
doing some checking.

Is it possible
that he's not

the guy we
thought he was,

that maybe
he's better

than we thought
he was?

No.

Felicity, i would love
to think that your father

didn't show up
with some ulterior motive

in your life right now,

but I've been
where you are more times

than i care to admit,
and it always ends
the same way.

He tells you exactly
what you want to hear,

and you get sucked in,

and the next thing you know,
you have no job,

no money,

and a sweet
7-year-old daughter

who needs
a new pair of shoes

and wants to go
to space camp.

People don't change,

even if you
want them to.

Ok.

Laurel: You're doing
the right thing.

I'm only entertaining
Oliver's naive plan

out of respect
for our marriage,

but his hope blinds him
to reality.

You come dressed
for battle, al sa-her.

Just
for the occasion.

In exchange for
my daughter's life.

I'm glad you've
finally seen reason.

Sadly, the only
thing i have seen

is your quick
and speedy death.

Malcolm!

I knew you couldn't
be trusted.

You knew, and you
didn't prepare,

and here you are
outnumbered,
outgunned,

out maneuvered
per usual.

Oliver:
Nyssa, don't!

Kill him!

We need to stop them
before they kill each other.

Retreat!

Don't let her
get away!

Oliver: Malcolm,
stop this now!

Get out of my way,
Oliver!

Think about thea!

Do not question
my love

for my daughter.

Everything i do,
i do it for her.

I'm not moving.

So much
for the Gandhi method.

Laurel: Given who
we're dealing with,

we shouldn't be
surprised.

I can't believe
that being ra's al ghul

is more important
to Malcolm

than saving
his daughter's life.

I know that you're
trying a new approach,

but just because
you've changed,

that doesn't mean
everybody else has.

We cannot allow
a league civil war.

Too many people
will be collateral damage.

And the 4 of us
definitely can't
take on

two armies
of assassins.

Then we take down
the generals.

We need to work on
locating nyssa and Malcolm.

But mainly nyssa
because she's got

that whole lotus
cure thing.

We find both of them.

No one else dies
tonight.

Especially thea.

You need this to keep
your fever at bay.

If it comes back,

well, that would be
very bad.

I'm surprised
you still care.

Baron reiter made it
very clear

what happens to me
if you die.

Taiana, i know what
you're going through.

It's this feeling
in the pit
of your stomach.

It's an emptiness--

don't you dare try to
help me mourn

my brother that
you took from me.

Please just listen.

You know nothing
about how i feel!

A man with a heart
as small as yours

is incapable
of such things.

My father sacrificed
himself

so i could survive,

so that i could
right his wrong.

He did it
by pulling out a gun

and shooting himself
in the head

not 3 feet from me.

Since that day,
i have lost

4 more people
that i love,

that i cared
so much about.

It never
gets easier ever.

I could see it
in your eyes

from the moment
we first met.

That i was good?

No. That you were lost,
shattered.

[Breathes deeply]

There is a Russian saying--

"tot zhe molot chto
drobit steklo, kuyet stal."

"The same hammer
that shatters glass
forges steel."

If you want to be
the man that your father
wishes you to be,

then this is how
you'll get there.

You save us
from reiter,

but you cannot
do that shattered.

Hey. Everyone's
telling the same story--

guys in black robes
fighting each other.

John: Yeah. League
of assassins.

They're working on
some leadership
issues.

Yeah, but how many
more people are gonna die

before that happens?

Yeah. We're working
on it.

You got to work faster.

This is just
the beginning.

Hey.

I think we need
to talk.

About what?

About the elephant
in the room.

The way this is
going down,
it ends one way--

Malcolm merlyn.

He has to be taken
down, Oliver.

You're the only man
who's ever done it.

Malcolm's killed
hundreds of people.

He killed Tommy,
he killed Sara.

Thea is dying
right now because

of events that he
set in motion.

I have never
hated anyone

the way that
i hate him.

You've been
in denial, Oliver,

holding onto hope
with both hands

that you don't have to
give in to that hate,

use that hate to do
what needs to be done,

but, Oliver, this
needs to be done.

You have to kill
Malcolm merlyn.

I'm glad you called.

Well, all your
files checked out,

and i did some
additional
digging myself.

You're right.

You and i, we're
not all that
different.

This facility is
really amazing.

Yes. After numerous
false starts

we finally got
the R&D section working
like a Swiss watch.

This floor contains most
of our bleeding edge projects.

Ah.

That is an autonomous
communications device

3 generations
beyond Bluetooth.

But there are no seams
in the casing.

I know. It's built
from a single piece
of aluminum.

The entire surface connects
to an induction charger.

How did you achieve
the heat sink?

Curtis holt achieved
it actually.

He's quite the genius.

Don't sell
yourself short.

You're the Steve Jobs
in this equation.

Heh.

Thank you for agreeing
to give me

a second chance.

Baby steps then.

Baby steps.

Hmm.

I have eyes on nyssa.

Abandoned complex
at 7th and rucka.

Put the word out
among our assets
in star city.

Whoever leads us
to al sa-her will be
rewarded handsomely.

Oliver: Keep her there.
We're on our way.

Nyssa, stop!

-Step aside, Laurel.
-No.

I will not let you wage
your war in my city.

I bargained
in good faith.

I'm only finishing
what he started,

and i aim to end
it swiftly.

To what cost?
How many lives

will you sacrifice
for what?

I will only say
this once more.

Step aside.

No. You're coming
with me.

Am i?

We're under attack!

[sonic scream
screeching]

We have to get
out of here.

Run!

[Horn honking,
tires screech]

[Tires screech]

Go! Get inside.

[People screaming]

Cowards just like
their master.

Sorry, nyssa.

For what?

[Sirens]

For that.

I was in a cell
much like this one

barely a year ago.

Nyssa, where is
the lotus?

Safe.

This isn't a game,
nyssa.

Thea is dying,
innocent civilians
are dying,

your own men
are dying.

And surrendering
my only leverage

will not save
their lives.

No, but it will
save thea's.

How could you be
so selfish?

A question better put
to Malcolm merlyn.

He doesn't have
the cure, you do.

Using thea's life
as a bargaining chip,

letting people die
for a lost cause--

nyssa, this isn't
who you are.

It's who
your father was,

but he's gone,
he's dead,

and you can
finally be free.

Any luck?

Malcolm and the league
have gone to ground,

nyssa is a brick wall,

John and Laurel are out
searching for the lotus,

but we are running
out of places to look.

Well, that's
depressing.

Well, we will find it.
We have to.

Mm-hmm.

Is everything
all right?

Not really.

I mean, it's not
as bad as your
sister being

unconscious
in our sublevel,
but...

Did something happen
with your dad?

More like something
didn't happen.

What's that?

It's an ir burst
receiver,

incredibly advanced.

It can suck the data
out of any room

you put it into.

Don't worry.
I turned it off

before bringing
it down here.

-It's not yours?
-It's my father's.

I gave him a little
tour of Curtis'
R&D lab,

and he left this
behind as a souvenir.

He's trying to steal
from Palmer tech?

It was your idea
actually.

You needed proof
about the lotus,

i needed proof
about my dad.

You set a trap
for him as a test.

Unrestricted access
to Palmer technologies'
R&D lab.

He flunked
with flying colors.

I don't even know
why I'm surprised.

You're surprised
because you're hoping

that he's the parent
you've always wanted
him to be,

the parent you deserve.

In an extremely
ironic role reversal,

my mother was
smarter than me.

She said, "people
don't change,

no matter how much
you want them to."

-Some people don't.
-Uh-huh.

I'd like to think that
there's hope

for the rest of us,
or i did

as far as Malcolm
is concerned.

John thinks
i should kill him.

If it'd help save thea,
i agree.

Yeah, and I'd agree
if he wasn't thea's father,

but he is.

We are in this mess
because of him

on, like, a million
different levels.

Let's not pretend that
this is a typical

father-daughter
relationship.

He brainwashed her
into killing a friend.

I know all this.
I do,

and I'm still
holding out hope

that with--with--
with time

and with how much
he says that he loves her

that maybe they have
some chance

at some type
of normal relationship.

If i kill him...

My sister never
gets that chance.

Thea's father is
no more likely to
change than mine is.

[Computer beeps]

What now?

[Beeping]

-Found Malcolm.
-Where?

Right underneath us.

Malcolm!

The lotus effect
is wearing off.

She will pass by sunrise.

I would like to be
by her side.

This has to end.

No more games.

You give nyssa
the damn ring!

She was 4 months old
when we first met.

Your housekeeper raisa,
i believe,

was picking you up
from our house

with thea in a stroller.

I peeked my head
into the bassinette,

and thea, all
of 16 weeks,

she stuck her tongue
out at me.

I always knew i was
connected to her,

as if on some primal level

i knew i was her father.

A real father
wouldn't let
their child die

just to keep
his hands on power!

That is not
what i am doing.

What's unfolding here
is larger than i,

and it is bigger
than my daughter.

It's not just her
life that hangs in
the balance, Oliver.

For all your dealings
with the league,

you still remain ignorant
to what it is

they do for the world.

Enough
about the league.

You're a group
of assassins.

It is a force of change

silently manipulating
global events

for hundreds of years,

and i cannot,
i will not put

that kind of power
into nyssa al ghul's hands!

Let me ask you
something.

If Damien darhk came
to you and told you

to lay down your bow,
let him finish his plan
for star city,

would you do it?

Even if it meant
saving William's life?

I know everything
about you, Oliver.

I am ra's al ghul,

but back
to the matter at hand.

You will never sacrifice
your city to save your son,

and believe me
when i tell you

that i am only making
the same choice.

No. I would look
for another choice,

and i wouldn't
stop looking

until there was
a third option!

Malcolm, what if--

what if you could
have the lotus

and keep your ring?

I don't see how.

Nyssa's forces are stronger
than i care to admit.

Not by herself.

You challenge her

to a trial
by combat.

You do realize
your plan would end
in her death?

We're all backed
into a corner, Malcolm.

Nyssa made her bed.

This is one of your
crazier ideas,

and that is
a competitive field.

Well, sit tight.
I have a crazier
one coming.

In deference
to good taste,

we will forego
the removal
of shirts.

Let us be finished
with this charade.

As you wish.

Oliver: Hold!

In the eyes of the league,

this woman is my wife.

As your husband,

i wish to fight
on her behalf.

I have never allowed
anyone to fight

my battles for me.

Do you want to
become ra's,

or do you want
to die?

Why are you doing this?

You told me yourself you
couldn't defeat merlyn,

and if i am forced
to choose

between your life
and his...

Then i will see
justice done.

I'm a little
disappointed
i must say.

You're the one who put us
in this position, Malcolm.

Can i remind you
the role you played

in putting this ring
on my finger?

Oh, i remember.

Tonight i correct
that mistake.

I can't believe it.

You've grown
even more foolish
with experience.

3 years!

Let's finish this.

Unh!

[Grunting]

Last chance, Malcolm.
Yield!

Never.

To end this,

you must kill me.

But you always
knew that, Oliver.

I didn't want it
to end this way.

Spare me
the false sympathy.

Just do it.

Aah! Err!

[Groaning]

Bring me the lotus.

You are ra's al ghul.

Thank you, husband.

What--what is
going on?

Is everything ok?

That, uh, depends.

How are you feeling?

I'm--ahem--I'm
a bit tired,

but--

what am i doing here?

It's a long story,
but to shorthand it--

is that you're
gonna be fine.

The cure worked.
No more bloodlust.

Come on. Let's go
get you into some
regular clothes.

Yeah. Um...

Oliver, you did
it, man.

Thea's fine,

and nyssa and merlyn
didn't have to die.

Ooh, yeah. Not to be
the buzzkill,

but when are we gonna
tell thea about
Malcolm's mmmrrr?

Baby steps.

-Right.
-What's up?

Something my father said.

Brought you
a portable ramp,

so anytime you come
across a higher surface,

just unfold it.

This will get you
over almost anything.

Look. I have
a meeting in a few.

I just wanted to
say good-bye.

Good-bye?

We're just starting
to get to know each other.

I think i know
everything i
need to know.

Felicity, what
is going on?

I--i thought we
were making progress.

When i was a girl,
i hated myself.

I thought i was broken,
that no one could

or ever would love me.

It's the only way
a child can grow up

when their father
abandons them.

Felicity--

all i ever wanted to
know was why.

What was so wrong
with me that you
would leave?

There was nothing
with you, sweetheart.

There was everything
wrong with me.

The police, the FBI,
they were never going to

stop looking for me.

I realized a life
on the run,

that wasn't the life
that i owed you

or your mother,

so i disappeared.

You thought you were
doing the right thing
for us.

Exactly.

I have waited
my entire life

for that explanation,

and the thing is
i don't even know
if i believe it.

It's the truth.

There is only one part
of your story

that i know to be true,

and that is that you
are wanted by the police.

Felicity--

i just need you to know
one thing.

You are wrong.

I am nothing like you.

Noah: Felicity.

Quentin: Noah kuttler,
you're under arrest.

You have the right
to remain silent.

-Anything you say can...
-Felicity, no.

And will be used
against you
in a court of law.

Noah: Don't do--
don't do this.

Thank you both
for coming.

How is thea?

Don't pretend
like you care.

I do. She's
my sister-in-law,

and her condition is
the result

of my father's blade.

You were right.

Even after his death,
i remained

my father's prisoner.

I allowed him to turn me
into someone

you showed me
i don't have to be...

And you showed me, as well,
when you took up the sword

to save my life.

You both showed me
what needed to be done.

And what's that?

Patience, please.
We're waiting
for one other.

Thank you for coming,
al sa-her.

You're ra's.
I had no choice.

And so you are
mistaken once again.

What are you doing?

Earlier today,
i disbanded

the league of assassins.

I released its forces

much as my father
had released you long ago.

No one will be held
prisoner by my father
any longer.

I thought of you
as a son once, Oliver.

I had more in common
with you than my own blood,

but that's not the reason
why I'm not going to kill you.

Neither the fact

that you are
my daughter's brother.

The reason you get
to live

is because death
would be a mercy compared

to the debt i now
owe you.

Don't you dare
threaten me, Malcolm.

Taiana.

I promise i will
free your friends
for vlad.

Vlad is dead.

We do this for them.

Reiter: Mr. queen.

I hope you have
regained your strength.

The stone you gave me
was the final piece
of the puzzle,

the final map.

-We are going to dig.
-Dig?

The heaven i seek
is not above

but rather
beneath our feet.

We dig at daybreak.

Hey.

You feeling
any better?

I don't even know
why I'm so upset.

Doesn't every
long-awaited

father-daughter
reunion end

with the dad
being taken away
in handcuffs.

You don't have to be
funny for me.

You know that, right?

I know.

And i know i did
the right thing,

but...

The look on his face
when he realized

i had turned him in,

it's gonna haunt me
for the rest of my life,

and i can't help
but think he doesn't

even deserve that
kind of remorse.

I think that remorse
is a pretty clear indicator

that you are
a very different
person than him.

Maybe thea and i
could make t-shirts.

We could join a club.

Listen to me.
Don't make the mistake

of thinking that this thing
with your dad is over.

I can tell you
from experience

that closure does not
come that easily.

Hmm.

Speaking of closure,

are you punishing yourself
for betraying Malcolm?

-Is that insane?
-Yes,

but it's part
of what makes you
the man i love.

John was right.

You were faced
with an impossible
situation,

and you found
the best way
out of it.

Will you marry me?

I think i
already answered
that question.

Thea's better,
Andy's better,

things are quiet
on the darhk front.

I feel like this might
be our window,

and with everything
that we have gone through

over the past few months,
i want you to tell me

why are we waiting?

-Well, we'll have to plan it.
-Mm-hmm.

Maybe just
a small ceremony

with a few
of our friends
and no caterers.

My mom will
hate that.

-I'm in.
-Yeah.

Hmm.

I don't like to be
kept waiting.

My apologies.

I don't have the resources
i once had.

Yes. I'm aware
of your recent
reversal of fortune.

I take it that's
why you asked
for this meeting.

Well, i haven't come
empty-handed.

So to speak.

I have some information
that you might find
of particular interest.

I know who Oliver queen
cares about more than
anyone in the whole world.

Yeah, so do i.
We did a pretty good
number on her

over the holidays.

It's not Felicity smoak.

Who?

His son...

William.
