Arrow (2012–…): Season 6, Episode 19 - The Dragon - full transcript

It's like you were
Firing overwatch.

I need to stop diaz,

And in order To do that,

I need to bring the mission
Back to basics.

The impeachment was
Just the latest step.

And what's The next one?

Star city,
It's open for business.

Get your ass
Out of bed, chilloón.

You can look at that
Picture all you want.

Your father ain't never
Coming back, diaz.

Getting breakfast.
When I come back,



This place better be clean
For inspection.

No wrinkles
On the bed... seriously...

Or...

Get another souvenir
To help remind you.

If you do it again,
I'll tell sister heller.

You think they'll believe
Someone like you, chilloón?

What? You want to
Take a shot at me?

Go ahead. I'm right here.

Give it back.
That's my only one!

No family's gonna want to
Take you in.

Why would they?

You're nothing.

You're a loser.

You need That reminder now.



You know that they invited
Us here, right?

Breaking and entering
Is a bit disrespectful,

Don't you think?

I'm tired Of waiting.

You're the one that wanted
To tag along.

To see how you operate,
To see your big job.

So far, all we've done Is
drive in the car For 3 hours.

And wait outside...

For two more.

Patience.

It's one of the most
Important virtues.

A person can have.

Meaning?

If you think Short-term,

You're gonna drift
Moment to moment.

You want something big,

Something truly Remarkable,

You got to think Long-term.

We've been waiting
Out here long-term.

Let me put it In perspective.

I've been working
On something for 5 years.

What's waiting two hours?

A slap in the face.

Small price to pay For an
introduction To the quadrant.

I thought they were
An urban legend.

They're very real.

They control all
Criminal enterprises.

Across the entire country.

4 corners.

Yeah. Quadrant.
I get it. Very clever.

They didn't get That type
of power Without patience.

Well, if they're So powerful,

Then why didn't you
Come with any backup?

I'm not. I got you.

You're early.

My father couldn't Make it.

You don't mind, do you?

Let's get started.

We have a lot To discuss.

Indeed we do.

Hey. You made it.

Yeah. Um... I did.

Well, that's great.
I'm glad you did.

What's wrong?

You know, it's just Been a
while since We've done.

Any helix dynamics Stuff.

Yeah. Well, We've been busy.

We've been fighting.

Not you and me.
I mean, our teams, yeah,

But that's not
An issue for me anymore.

Glad it's not for you, But, you
know, rene's Still in the hospital.

He's only now Just getting out.

I'm sorry about
Our teams. I'm...

I'm sorry.

I'd really like Helix to work.

Looks like you're Trying to
stabilize The neuro-interface.

Yeah. I mean, it's just
Still really twitchy.

You know, actually,
I had a thought about this.

I think the serotonin
Interface is a result.

Of the pathogenic Reaction.

Star city's Open for business.

We have the police,
The ports, the whole city.

We got it wired.

Now, you want to
Run merchandise,

You want to move product,
Launder money, anything,

Star city's the place.

Assuming we're interested...

Not saying that
We are but assuming,

How much you looking To charge?

- It's free.
- Heh heh heh.

Nothing's ever free.

I just want a seat At the table.

Of the quadrant?

That seems Reasonable to me.

Well, you make The quadrant
sound Like it's a potluck,

As if there's always
Room at our table.

For anyone with
Something to add,

But it's not.

We're a family.

We're not really That welcoming.

To outsiders.

At least not Before we know...

Ahem... that you can
Operate at our level.

I just offered you A whole city.

Now, if you can't see
The opportunity in that,

Why don't I talk To your father?

He sent me.

We're just looking For a
little Something extra.

Call it establishing
Your bona fides.

What'd you have In mind?

This is robert baylor,
One of our guys.

Ahem. The fbi Pinched him.

- That's not ideal.
- Right?

We need to know where
The federal marshals.

Are holding baylor
So we can get him out.

You want him To audition.

Well, that's not a very
Productive way of putting it.

And yet.

It'll be nothing for me.

It's not a problem.

Whatever it takes to get
The deal done, right?

Champion mind-set. Heh.

You got a john In this place?

It's right Over there.

I'm at the location now.

Thanks for the address.

I'd say I owe you one,
But you owe me 20.

Armand's contact At the fbi.

So more Waiting, then.

Have to get a picture
Of the guy...

Proof of life.

They tell you to fetch,
You fetch.

So what's next... Roll over?

That's right.
You've already done that.

You think I'm giving in
To these people too much?

I don't think it. I know it.

It's just business.

You're ok with all this,

How that guy Talked to you?

Cartier's nothing.

He's a steppingstone.

Long-term thinking. Remember?

Yeah, I remember.

How's that working out For you?

Smoke break.

Fetch. Roll over, Sit. Good boy.

You know that The quadrant's
The most powerful.

Criminal organization
On the continent?

When I joined up With camden
james, I gained a city.

When I join The quadrant,

I'm gonna have An empire.

Ok. Try it.

- Success.
- Yes!

Pathogenic reaction's
Completely stabilized.

- Ha ha ha! Yes!
- Ha ha!

Damn, we make A good team!

- Well, speaking of team...
- No. Don't do that.

Why would you do that? We're
having such A good time.

Well, earlier, you said The team thing
wasn't An issue for you anymore.

- Did I say that?
- Yeah, you did.

The question is why.

Oliver sort of Fired me.

I mean, he... he's
Saying that he didn't,

But... heh... it sure Feels
like he did, You know.

Not sort of fired. He fired me.

Wait, wait. I'm sorry.
What happened?

Long story short... Oliver
had a run-in With vertigo...

The pharmaceutical,
Not the person...

And he came out of it
With this epiphany.

That to stop diaz He has to.

"Go back to basics."

- meaning?
- Meaning he's a lone wolf,

So no more team arrow.

So did he also Fire john?

No. John left
About a week before.

Wow! Ok. Well,
I'm gonna have to try.

Not to take satisfaction
Out of that.

Try really hard.

Ok. So it was down
To you and oliver.

Now it's just oliver.

Yep.

How are you doing With all this?

I'm fine.

You're not fine.

Heh. What?

So none of your
People could find him.

I did.

I'll tell them to start
Carving the monument.

They brought your
Boy out for a smoke.

Looked more like
A guest than a prisoner.

H-honey, ease up.

That's a 30-year-old
Single malt. Heh.

Call me "Honey" again,

And I might only
Break your legs.

I like this one.

So I held up my part
Of the bargain.

Time for you To deliver yours.

You know, your
Pretty little friend makes.

An inconvenient point.

It seems that mr. Baylor's
Gotten a little chatty.

- So what?
- So my father's going to.

Have to debrief him,
You know, to find out.

What he told
The justice department.

- You want me to...
- Fetch him?

What's a little favor Between
future Business partners?

So what's next?

You want me to Roll over,

You want me to Play dead?

You're absolutely right.
Forget I asked.

Thanks for tracking down
Baylor for us.

We'll take it from here.

You should have asked
Me from the beginning.

You wasting my time?

I don't react well When
people waste My time.

Hey. I... I had no idea That
baylor would Be cooperating.

With the frisbees. Heh heh.

I'm gonna deliver Baylor to you.

Afterwards, I meet your father.

You solve this
Little problem for us,

And my dad will be asking
To sit down with you.

Call me when you've Got baylor.

I'll send over a car.

What happened To your hand?

I got angry At someone.

The quadrant's Making you
jump Through a lot of hoops.

I hope it's worth it.

Why don't I knock On the door?

Unh!

Hello, boys.

Agh!

Who are you?

Doesn't matter.

You gonna kill me?

If you keep asking Me questions.

On your feet.

Send the car.

Move.

Move!

Cartiers take care Of their own.

Once you're in, You're family.

That's my expectation.

All's I'm saying is I
knew they'd Send for me.

I would never snitch.

Sure you wouldn't.

I wouldn't take
The chance, though.

You're lucky you
Don't work for me.

Baylor, buddy!
Feds treat you all right?

Whoa. I didn't say
Nothing, I swear to god.

Tell him in person.

They're gone.

That packs a punch.

And what would you Have done
if they Shot you in the head?

I'd be dead probably. Heh.

Getting shot...

Wasn't part Of my plan.

Understatement Of the year.

You just can't trust
Anyone these days.

Dad.

Is it done?

Baylor's Off the board.

And diaz?

Never saw it coming.

Heh. Idiot really
Thought he had a shot.

As if we'd share Space
with a thug Like him.

Tomorrow, we'll send
A crew to star city.

And lean On diaz's networks,

And we'll make His city... Ours.

So this whole plan Of yours has
gotten A little complicated.

Anything worth wanting
Shouldn't be simple.

Not my philosophy.

Plans are like men.

It's best to avoid
The complicated ones.

Aw, shucks.

You think I'm Not complicated.

You do realize that The guys that
you wanted To impress tonight.

Are the same guys that
Just tried to kill you.

And I was prepared.

It still doesn't explain
What we're doing back here.

At their place when we Should be
on our way Back to star city.

Maybe that's The
difference Between us.

When you get Knocked
down, You give up.

- I get up.
- I get up!

I just don't get Stupid, too.

Must be nice Being pretty.

You pout your lips,
You bat your eyes,

Everybody gives you
What you want.

Everything I wanted
I had to take.

Bar's closed! Everybody move!

Move!

Son of a bitch.

In your enthusiasm
To take out your man...

You forgot I was standing
Next to him.

When you started Shooting.

But you're sorry
About that, aren't you?

It wasn't anything Personal.

Bullets make Things personal.

- May I ask you something?
- Um...

Did you ever have to
Fight for a meal?

Um...

Not once. Not one time.

Mr. Silver spoon.

I had to fight For every scrap
of food I ate as a kid.

You don't know What
it's like To be hungry,

To want something So bad.

You'd kill for it.

Ha! I've killed Plenty.

Not... not for survival.

Now when the outcome
Of your life.

Hangs in the balance.

It's funny you should
Put it that way.

You really got to
Tell your guys,

Creep a little quieter.

There's two to my right,

3 more behind me.

Heh. That's Pretty confident.

For a thug Who's outnumbered.

You wouldn't think
I was outnumbered.

If you knew what She can do.

Wow! We really need
To restock the fridge.

Do you think soda Can go bad?

I should probably Already
know The answer to that.

Felicity?

Hey.

Um, it's working, Remember?

- We high-fived.
- Yeah. Doesn't mean it can't.

Be improved.

Sure. So maybe
Improve it tomorrow.

When you've had some
Sleep and some food.

And some Non-expired soda.

Yeah. I just want to make
A couple adjustments here.

Because that's Easier than
talking About your husband?

Hey. He's going back
To basics, so, so am I.

You're the one Who described
it as Getting fired.

I said, "Kind of,"
And that was just shorthand.

As much as I love Being
a part Of team arrow...

As downsized as it
May have become...

It was taking us away
From our real work, helix.

This is where it's at.

And you're not
Worried about him?

Nope. He can take
Care of himself,

And I have been doing
This for 5 years.

Yeah. In the bunker
With computers.

And body cams And gps.

So you knew Where he was.

And what He was doing.

And if he was ok.

Curtis.

Yeah. I thought throwing Myself into
work would work, But it's not working.

I mean, I don't know
Where he is.

He doesn't tell me where
He is anymore.

I need to know if he's ok.
I'm dying here!

Sorry.

Shootout In the glades. Oliver?

The green arrow
Was last seen in the center.

Of an altercation moments
Before the explosion.

Overtook the area.

Scpd has yet to issue
A statement.

We will keep you updated.

You're toying With him.

Come on. What's a little fun.

Between future
Business partners?

Well, we wouldn't want Him to think
that we're Wasting his time.

By sending him
On some fool's errand.

Yeah. That would make
Anyone furious.

Your daddy buy you This place?

Not-so-shiny toy To distract you.

While he's running
The real business.

I never got anything
From my family.

You know I'm an orphan?

It's true. I grew up
In a real-deal orphanage...

Nuns and... And everything.

The full package.

There was this older boy.

His name was jesse.

Jesse thought he was
Better than me,

And I believed him,

And I was afraid of him.

I'd cry every night.

For years, he...
He treated me like a worm,

Like I was worthless...

Like I was Beneath him.

I'd make his bed,

I'd clean our room.

He treated me like
I was his damn servant.

- Hyah!
- Unh!

Look at me.

I'm nobody's servant now.

If you cut me, My father will
never Give you what you want.

That's prospective, The future.

I'm more interested In the past.

Why'd you try
And kill him, eric?

- Because I could.
- That's not good enough.

Stop!

It was My father's idea!

We were gonna take Star city,

Co-opt your networks.

Take credit For my sweat equity?

That is So inconsiderate.

Sounds like your
Precious little quadrant is.

A bunch of selfish jerks.

They didn't know.

We never told them About you.

What?

My father and I,
We never brought.

Your proposal To the quadrant.

You're a nobody, So...

Agh!

Unh!

Satisfied yet?

No.

You're alive now.

You want to stay That way?

Tell me when
The quadrant's meeting.

Tonight.

Well, isn't that Convenient?

You gonna give me
All the details?

They're not just
Gonna let you in.

I'm not planning On knocking.

Somehow, we moved
Past complicated.

And straight Into crazy.

What I did To cayden james,

You think that's Crazy?

This is manning up.

Manning up. I hate that phrase.

Ok. Let's talk This through.

If the quadrant is
As powerful as you say,

Who knows what kind Of
firepower they Have in there?

You're selling
Yourself short, kiddo.

You're better Than 10 men.

And if there's More than 10?

Trust me.

While I appreciate
Your self-confidence,

You could be overestimating
Your powers of persuasion.

By just a little bit.

You might not be their
Favorite person in the world.

Considering what we've Just done.

To the prince Of hair gel.

I said, trust me.

And I would find it
A whole lot easier to do so.

If you could just tell me
Why it is so important.

For you to be a part
Of this exclusive club.

There are other ways
You can build your empire.

It's not About empire building.

It's about respect.

Right, which you want,
And you're willing.

To disrespect yourself in
Order to get it from them.

- That's not how it is.
- Really?

Because that's how
It looks like it is.

Back at that bar,
You were talking.

About jerry like he
Still haunted you.

Jesse. It's jesse, And he does.

Little bastard was
Right. I was nothing,

You know, a loser.

Not anymore.

Hey. Now you're a king.
Forget about him.

I can't.

I was afraid of
Jesse for so long.

That all I had Was my fear...

So I... I named that
Fear the dragon.

That's cute.

I lived with the dragon
For so long...

It's all I had...

But now being a part
Of the quadrant,

I'm gonna have Something else...

The type of power Where I'll
never be Nothing again.

You remind me of the guy
That brought me here...

To this earth.

He... He had so much
Hate inside of him.

Took control over him.

I control the dragon.

It doesn't control me.

We're here.

You coming or not?

Glad you decided To come.

Someone's got to Make sure you
don't Get yourself killed.

That's why I'm glad.

If the quadrant's Everything
you Say they are,

They're gonna see This coming.

Maybe. Family can be Blinding.

What the hell?

You think they saw That coming?

We got incoming!

Sounds like a little bit
More than the 11 guys.

He said there were.

Had to soften The beach.

C4 sends a message.

Why don't you send Another one?

Now the beach is soft.

Unh!

Agh!

I went through a lot of trouble
To get to this meeting.

It didn't have To be, though.

You killed My son.

C4 killed your son.

Do you have any Idea
who I am, Who we are?

Yeah.

That's why I wanted To meet.

If you know Who we are,

You know I'm not
Going to kill you.

For what you did To my boy.

Well, that's a relief.

I'm going To send you
someplace Far away from here,

To a hospital I own.

They know every way There
is to keep A man alive.

As other men carve
Pieces out of him.

Sure. Sure you could
Go that way.

You could try...

But if you do,

It'll cost you
Billions annually.

Take him, But make
sure He doesn't die.

Wait.

He killed my boy.

Frankly, I'm surprised your
Idiot son made it this far.

Talk as if your life Depended
upon it Because it does.

Like I said...

It wasn't supposed
To be this way.

Mr. Cartier's son...

Was supposed to arrange
This meeting without bloodshed,

But cartier senior,
He wanted to go another way.

Because you're Not fit to
be in The same room as us.

You're a street thug,

Not even qualified To
work on one Of our crews.

I came to this meeting.

Because I have
A business proposition.

You know what's happening
In star city, right?

I see it's Falling apart.

I've seen chaos.

No, no, no, no.

Controlled chaos.

What you see As dysfunction,

I see a machine running
On full efficiency.

I control the pd,
City hall, the ports, the rails.

I control everything,
And it could all be yours,

All of it in exchange
For one thing,

One thing.

A seat...

At this table.

I don't see An empty chair.

Even if there Was one,
I would Never sit.

Beside the man Who
killed My own blood.

He pushed me to it.

And he pushed,
And he pushed, and he pushed.

A man's got His limitations.

And you are mine.

Look at you.

A street thug.

Who couldn't even Keep
himself Out of prison.

You're nothing...

A loser.

Lookit here.

That's An empty seat.

We are successful
Because we're deliberate,

Disciplined, And precise.

We're not animals killing
Each other for scraps.

We are civilized.

This is not,

But your proposal
Intrigues us, mr. Diaz.

We'd like to hear more.

Heh. Heh.

Let's get started.

What's wrong?
You got what you wanted,

You're not A loser anymore.

You are a legitimate Crime lord,

And yet you still Seem on edge.

You think a ring
And a seat at the table.

Changes things for me.

I think we ran A gauntlet
because You thought it would.

It's not over yet.

There's still one last thing
I have to take care of.

Can I help you?

Oliver?

There are no survivors
In the explosion.

That consumed a city block.

In the glades earlier
This evening.

Given the power of the blast,
Experts say that forensics.

May be required to determine
The fate of the green arrow.

Go!

Hey, you.

- My god!
- You ok?

My god!

I saw the explosion On the news,

And you were right
In the middle of it.

Yeah. No. I fired.

A grappling arrow, And I flew...

- you...
- Backwards right out of there.

I'm f... I'm fine.

- Well, I'm... I'm not!
- Ok.

Worrying about you Out here is...

Well, it's completely Different from
worrying About you in the bunker.

Right, because When
you're In the bunker,

You feel like you can
Make a difference.

I can. I can Make a difference.

I can... I can deploy backup.

I can do... I don't know.

I can do something.
Out here, I c...

I'm helpless out here.

You aren't helpless
Anywhere ever,

But I'm not helpless
Either, all right?

Made a promise
To that guy in there

I would always Come back.

Well, william made
An excellent point.

When he said you Coming back.

Is not always gonna
Be your decision.

William does make
Excellent points,

But I made The promise anyway.

I'm making the same
Promise to you.

Right here And right now.

Felicity...

I will always Come back.

I've been waiting an hour.

Get up the stairs.

I know you hate waiting.

Who's this?

That last thing
I have to take care of.

I've got kids.

They need me. Please,
Please don't hurt me.

Whatever you want,
I can give it to you.

You're lucky if you got
Two dimes to rub together.

On a good day.

How... how do you know me?

What?

What?

How do I know you?

I've known you.

My whole life.

What?

Laurel, meet Jesse fredericco.

Jesse... Meet laurel.

I don't think People
are Supposed to know.

That laurel's Working
with A crime lord.

"Crime lord. Crime lord."

I love the sound of that.

You really don't Remember me?

Chilloón?

Diaz?

That is really Disappointing.

I thought I made
A bigger impression.

On your knees.

- Unh!
- Agh!

Hey. What Are you doing?

Getting my payback.

I think that this Is a little
bit More than payback.

Hey.

See that?

I took this From the fire.

I stuck my hand Right in.

I had blisters.

I had raw, cracked skin!

For weeks!

Hey, jesse.

Hey.

You still like fire?

Ricardo.

I promised myself...

When the time was right...

That I'd get my payback...

When I wasn't a loser.

Greg, move your head.
