Quotes 

• John Diggle : You want to talk? Not even to the guy who found out his long-lost sibling was secretly an evil double agent?

  Oliver Queen : Being reminded that this has happened before is not... really making things better.

  John Diggle : I get that. But I also know that despite what Emiko's done, you're not quite ready to give up on her.

  Oliver Queen : That obvious?

  John Diggle : Only to someone who knows you, and who's been there. All I wanted was to bring Andy back over to the light. I don't have to remind you what having that blind spot cost us.

  Oliver Queen : No, you don't. But please, John, trust me when I tell you that I am seeing Emiko more clearly than I ever have.

  John Diggle : Oliver, you're still trying to save her.

  Oliver Queen : John, my family is to blame for her current situation. My-my father a-abandoned her and her mother. She was eleven! She was eleven years old. And no one's gonna convince me that... that her life wouldn't be different now if that had never happened.

  John Diggle : Andy tried to convince me that I was the reason for his bad choices, too. He made me feel so guilty that I was willing to trust him again even after knowing he worked for Damien Darhk. I held out hope, Oliver, so much hope that I put you, my family, my team at risk.

  Oliver Queen : John, if I abandon her now, I'm no better than my father. If I can help redeem her, selfishly, I feel like I-I help redeem my family. Just a little.

• John Diggle : Okay, Lyla and I have been hunting Dante for months. Why are we just hearing this name?

  Felicity Smoak : Because the Ninth Circle is practically invisible. I mean, I combed the entire Dark Web and came up with nada, but then I remembered this photo you sent me from the Ghost Initiative's last ride.

  John Diggle : Right. That symbol was on all the weapons that Virgil's goons used.

  Felicity Smoak : The symbol also pops up on artifacts dating all the way back to 14th-century Italy, the real Dante's era. The insignia is mostly commonly found on ephemera that is connected to times of historical upheaval; the Russian Revolution, the colonization of the Americas, the War of Roses.

  Rene Ramirez : So you're saying Dante runs a secret society responsible for centuries of worldwide regime change?

  Oliver Queen : Right, but if that's true, the Ninth Circle's clearly way bigger than just Dante.

• John Diggle : How did you run into Dante last night, Oliver, and why didn't you call for backup?

  Oliver Queen : [to Felicity]  Laurel came to speak with you and found me. She suggested that... Emiko has been hiding certain parts of her past and said that she killed Diaz.

  Rene Ramirez : She killed Diaz?

  Felicity Smoak : Which doesn't mean she's bad.

  Oliver Queen : I followed Emiko, and it led me to Dante.

• John Diggle : All we really know about Emiko is what she's told us, which isn't much.

  Oliver Queen : She's a vigilante. For all we know, she's gathering intel on the Ninth Circle to take them down.

  Rene Ramirez : Also, why are we taking Laurel's word about anything?

  Felicity Smoak : Hey, Laurel has changed a lot. I mean, she's been a really good friend to me. Not to say that your sister's evil, but she's changed a lot.

  Oliver Queen : Be that as it may, the-the Ninth Circle is clearly a threat, and we need to follow up every lead that we have.

  Felicity Smoak : Well, we know that they stole eight military-grade drones, which they could literally be planning to do anything with.

  John Diggle : Okay. Can you use Archer to pinpoint Dante's location?

  Felicity Smoak : Not without his DNA.

  John Diggle : Okay. Well, I'll talk to Lyla, take this new intel back there, and see if we can use A.R.G.U.S.'s databases.

  Rene Ramirez : Yeah, we should be able to use SCPD resources, too. I'll get D up to speed.

  Oliver Queen : I'm gonna go speak with my sister. She deserves a chance to explain herself.

• John Diggle : Good news! Lyla got a DNA sample from the dagger used by Dante to kill Director Bell. Guess who now has said sample.

  Felicity Smoak : John Diggle, you give the best gifts.

• Felicity Smoak : Hey, guys, I think I got something.

  Oliver Queen : That was fast.

  Felicity Smoak : One point for the humans. If Emiko is right and he's after uranium, there's only two places in Star City that have it: Dunkirk Power and Global Energy.

  John Diggle : Sounds like a divide and conquer situation.

  Oliver Queen : My thoughts exactly.

• Rene Ramirez : I was married to a junkie. You'd think I know when someone was lying to me.

  John Diggle : At least now we know what side Emiko's really on.

  Oliver Queen : It doesn't matter. The... the Ninth Circle are still out there, and they are a threat.

  Felicity Smoak : You can take a minute to process this if you need to.

  Oliver Queen : I need to know where she is. How soon can you have Archer back up and running?

  Felicity Smoak : Not as soon as I would like. Emiko's little device didn't just jam up the system. It wiped the entire memory card, which means I have to rebuild the entire infrastructure.

• John Diggle : There's been a break-in at the waste treatment site at Orchard Bay.

  Oliver Queen : I thought the only spots that manufactured uranium were the two sites we just canvassed.

  Felicity Smoak : Well, that's true, but how much do you want to bet that Dante and his pals aren't actually after uranium?

  Rene Ramirez : More of Emiko's lies.

  John Diggle : What'd they get?

  Felicity Smoak : All the ingredients to make a big batch of sarin gas. That plus the drones that they just stole makes one hell of a murder party.

• John Diggle : Felicity couldn't find her, but you think you can, huh?

  Oliver Queen : I just... I don't want to give up.

  John Diggle : Still trying to redeem her?

  Oliver Queen : Trying to stop her before it's too late.
