Felicity Smoak : You all ready for your field trip, yeah?
William Clayton : Yeah.
Felicity Smoak : Okay.
Oliver Queen : It's the, uh, Costal Biology Center, right?
William Clayton : Yeah. There's a prep sheet for the trip, and I tried one of the extra credits.
[rummaging in his backpack]
William Clayton : Hold on. Will you take a look at it?
Oliver Queen : Yeah, of course.
William Clayton : I meant Felicity.
Oliver Queen : Sure you did. Yep.
William Clayton : I'm sorry. It's a math problem about hyperbolic geometry in marine organisms like coral.
Oliver Queen : I do know what coral is, but that's okay.
-
Oliver Queen : What's up?
Felicity Smoak : Councilman Grovner is dead.
Oliver Queen : What?
Felicity Smoak : So are six people in the hospital, and five more electrocuted by an elevator.
Oliver Queen : In an elevator?
Felicity Smoak : By an elevator.
-
Oliver Queen : What do we know?
Felicity Smoak : Hack-cidents are happening all over the city. Size of this attack, you've got to think it's Cayden James, but to what end?
Oliver Queen : Well, should I get William home or should I be happy that he's heading out of the city?
Felicity Smoak : Oh, for sure the second one.
-
Oliver Queen : I didn't kill your son.
Cayden James : Yes, you did. One year ago this very day right here in Star City, you missed your intended target, but your arrow found its way into my boy.
Oliver Queen : Well, if you're seeking vengeance, if you want revenge... why haven't you just outed me as the Green Arrow?
Cayden James : If my understanding is correct, that's already been done.
Oliver Queen : Star City will not negotiate with a terrorist.
Cayden James : Oh, spare me the political claptrap, Mr. Queen. By tonight, that will sound hollow even to you.
-
John Diggle : You okay?
Felicity Smoak : I have tried every trick to counter-hack what Cayden is doing, and I am completely boxed out, so I contacted Alena to help me figure out why, and the answer is is that it's my fault.
John Diggle : Felicity, what are you talking about?
Felicity Smoak : When we stopped Cayden and Laurel from blowing up the Internet vault...
John Diggle : Uh-huh.
Felicity Smoak : That was all a ruse. Cayden just wanted us to think that people were in trouble so that I would break through his firewall, but instead of blocking him, I was actually just helping him plant a virus, and now he has complete control of the entire city. A hack-cident is killing one person every eighteen minutes, and I have no idea how to stop it.
Oliver Queen : [entering] I do, thanks to Cayden James, who was kind enough to pay me a visit at City Hall.
John Diggle : What'd he want?
Oliver Queen : He wants $10 million a day. That is not the actionable part. He told me the details of his son's death. He was killed one year ago today. Cayden thinks that he was collateral damage from a fight that I had in Star City. It's not possible.
Felicity Smoak : You were in Hub City recruiting Dinah.
Oliver Queen : Yep.
-
John Diggle : If Cayden James is motivated by revenge, maybe we can get him to stand down.
Felicity Smoak : Well, I like that idea because I have no way of stopping him my way, and I have no location for you to find him your way.
Oliver Queen : Felicity, we need incontrovertible proof.
Felicity Smoak : Yeah, I know. I'm on it.
-
Felicity Smoak : This is the city's transportation system, and these are all the accidents that have happened so far.
John Diggle : A lot around the edges. The train lines and the freeways.
Oliver Queen : He's laying siege to the city.
Felicity Smoak : That's probably why he wanted the port. It's exactly what he's doing. He wants to block off all the exit routes.
John Diggle : And stop all the reinforcements from the outside.
Oliver Queen : Any roads he hasn't hit yet?
Felicity Smoak : Yeah. There's one exit left out of the city, and it's the tunnel.
Oliver Queen : [she glances at him in concern] William.
-
William Clayton : So this is your secret hideout?
Oliver Queen : Yeah.
William Clayton : You said you weren't the Green Arrow anymore.
Oliver Queen : John did take over for me, but he got injured.
William Clayton : He's not injured anymore.
Oliver Queen : No, he's not. We've lost the other members of our team, William, and I can't have him out there on his own right now with everything that's going on. Listen, buddy. I promise...
William Clayton : You've promised before.

Oliver Queen : A hacker, goes by the name Cayden James, has taken over the electronic infrastructure of Star City. In his hands, anything - *anything* - that is connected to the Internet can be used as a weapon. Now, sadly, this has already led to a number of casualties, including our police captain, Frank Pike, and Councilman Harold Grovner. But Mr. James has made his demands, but make no mistake, he is a terorrist, and Star City does not negotiate with terrorists, period. Instead, we are gonna focus on the safety and well-being of our citizens. In that spirit, the SCPD has set up safe houses throughout the city. These locations are entirely analog, and you will be safe there. I promise you, you will be safe there. Mr. James, Star City has survived far worse than you. We will band together, we will be united, and we will survive this. Thank you very much.
Cayden James : [watching on TV] So predictable. Almost takes the fun out of it. Time to proceed to the next phase.
-
Felicity Smoak : I might have a thing on our other thing.
Oliver Queen : On Cayden James' son?
Felicity Smoak : So, Alena thinks that Cayden believes that you killed his son because of something that arrived in a package from Corto Maltese in May. Through a pretty cool sequence of hacks on the mail systems of several different countries - not that you need to know about it, but it was, like, really intense and really cool, and I did it, and it was really hard, but you don't need to know about those. In that package was a USB drive, and we actually have that USB drive's serial number, so Alena's just working on trying to find the computer in Corto Maltese that uploaded the information on that drive that Cayden received, the information that made him think that you killed his son. You see how I came full circle on that, right?
Oliver Queen : 100%.
Felicity Smoak : Awesome.

Felicity Smoak : You know, there's, um, a study I was reading that was saying that actually talking to a child is one of the most effective parenting techniques.
Oliver Queen : No kidding?
Felicity Smoak : Yeah.
Oliver Queen : That true?
Felicity Smoak : Yeah.
Oliver Queen : Well, I've learned several times the hard way that sometimes kids just want to be left alone. I know I have to talk to him. I'm just trying to respect that.
Felicity Smoak : Okay. And I might totally be projecting here because my dad was a, you know, supervillain evil hacktivist, but he did a lot of things that I didn't like or approve of, and the way he chose to live his life, that's not the part that bugged me.
Oliver Queen : Okay. What bugged you?
Felicity Smoak : The lie. All I ever wanted was for him to tell me the truth, you know, and that's all William wants. All he wants to know is the truth: the good, the bad, the ugly. He just wants to know the truth.
Oliver Queen : William knows the truth, or he-he knew the truth, and he decided that he didn't want me in situations where he might lose me.
Felicity Smoak : Okay, but here we are, and everything that's happened with John and everything that's happened with the team, and everything that is happening right now with Cayden James. Here we are, and you know what I think? I think William can handle it.
Oliver Queen : I don't know.
Felicity Smoak : I do, because, you know, genetics.
-
Felicity Smoak : Well, for two teams that do not trust each other, you guys worked together pretty well.
Oliver Queen : Well, except for the fact that they never shared with us where they got their information.
-
Oliver Queen : I'm terribly sorry that I lied to you. There is no excuse for it, and I'm new at this whole dad thing, but that's not an excuse, either. I've just... I've... been trying to work my way through it, and I've hit more bumps in the road than I thought that I would, as you know, but no more secrets and no more lies, and William, if you need me to stop being the Green Arrow... I will.
William Clayton : Felicity showed me what you did tonight. I got to say, it was... it was really cool. The city needs you, and I get that now.
Oliver Queen : Are you sure?
William Clayton : Yeah. I mean, I was worried before that I'd become an orphan, but it's different now. I have Felicity. I understand why you have to go out there.
-
Cayden James : I'll let you make the usual threats in a minute, but before we get to that, you should know that my colleagues are expecting to hear from me in six, and if they don't, well, you would be remiss in forgetting the thermobaric explosive that remains in my possession.
Oliver Queen : What do you want?
Cayden James : I've already told you. Vengeance for my son. I cared for him, protected him, loved him just as you do this city, but now... your city's entire infrastructure is under my control; buildings, institutions, even people, all under my dominion.
Oliver Queen : These are innocent people.
Cayden James : And you can save them...
[putting a slip of paper on the table]
Cayden James : ...by wiring $10 million into that offshore account no later than 11:30 tonight... and every night until further notice.
Oliver Queen : That will bankrupt us!
Cayden James : Well, I certainly hope so. Please don't imagine that I've gone to these lengths for money. No. This is for you so that you'll suffer.
