Curtis Holt : What the hell is going on? China White, spawn of Slade, and now Cupid? It's like the ghost of villains past in here.
Carrie Cutter : Have we met?
Lyla Michaels : [leading Curtis outside] Agent Holt, a word.
Curtis Holt : You're not my type.
-
Curtis Holt : The Ghost Initiative is just a cooler-sounding name for Suicide S...
Lyla Michaels : Look, I know you're angry, but this is about Dante.
Curtis Holt : So I was right. There's a hidden meaning in that painting.
-
John Diggle : I have waited a long time to wipe the smirk off of Diaz's face. Curtis, this is very, very good work.
Curtis Holt : Well, I am happy to help make Diaz's life miserable anytime, anywhere.
John Diggle : Your VR program, it's a game changer.
Curtis Holt : Now that we got the Dante info, we can get rid of those neck bombs and finally cancel the Ghost Initiative once and for all, right? Right?
John Diggle : Curtis... the Ghost Initiative program still has value. We need boots on the ground. Look, thanks to you, we can now get in their heads, predict problems before they arise. This is going to save a lot of lives in the field.
Curtis Holt : Except maybe theirs.
John Diggle : When the Dante threat is over, I promise you we will shut this thing down for good.
Curtis Holt : There's always gonna be another Dante. There's always gonna be a logical reason to compromise, but I'm not doing that anymore.
John Diggle : We've had this conversation. Walking away is not the answer.
Curtis Holt : Oh, I'm not walking away. I'm just not going to be following orders blindly anymore, either. I'm gonna call my own shots.
-
John Diggle : It turns out Dante's a person; a very dangerous one.
Lyla Michaels : Intel from our overseas office indicates that he is the financier behind dozens of terrorist attacks all over the world.
John Diggle : Apparently, there's only a few people who have direct contact with Dante. We tracked one back to a compound in Egypt. We get a hold of this guy, we catch Dante, and the Ghost Initiative is our best shot at doing that.
Curtis Holt : How did you all find all this out? Why was I left in the dark?
Lyla Michaels : The lead came from a source; our first member in the Ghost Initiative.
Curtis Holt : [seeing a surveillance video feed] Have you all lost your mind? Ricardo Diaz? The same Ricardo Diaz we just put in prison, the guy who stabbed me, who tried to kill all of us about seventeen times? This...
John Diggle : Curtis, we know that it's not ideal.
Curtis Holt : That is the definition of an understatement. Do Oliver and Felicity know?
John Diggle : No one knows, and it has to stay that way.
-
John Diggle : A.R.G.U.S. knows that we re-started the Ghost Initiative, but they don't know that we're using them to go after Dante.
Lyla Michaels : And if they did, they would kill the mission. Remember Switzerland? Now that you're looped in, we need your help.
Curtis Holt : I'm not putting any bombs in anyone's heads. I don't care how evil that head might be.
Lyla Michaels : You don't have to. We just need you to make sure the bomb tech isn't rejected by the subjects' bodies after insertion.
Curtis Holt : [sarcastic] Yeah, 'cause that's so much better.
John Diggle : Curtis, this is how we catch Dante. And it's not a request.
-
John Diggle : How's the analysis coming?
Curtis Holt : Almost finished with my algorithm. And then after that, I should be ready to start testing, assuming they don't trip-walk into the bathroom and accidentally set off the bombs in their neck.
John Diggle : I guess that saves me from asking if you're still having a problem with all this.
-
Curtis Holt : Look, I know these are bad people, but what we're doing is inhumane.
John Diggle : Curtis, restoring the program is the only way we can get Dante without A.R.G.U.S. oversight.
Curtis Holt : And that makes it right? How can you be okay with that?
John Diggle : I'm not. I'm not. We are fighting evil that most people don't even know exists. And sometimes that means making very difficult decisions, Curtis. The bombs are just a failsafe. That's all.
Curtis Holt : There has to be a better way.
John Diggle : I wish there were.
-
Ricardo Diaz : Looky here. Mr. Terrific. It's been a while, my friend. You look a little nervous. Is that because the last time we met, I had my knife in your gut? Wasn't personal.
Curtis Holt : It's probably best not to talk during the procedure.
Ricardo Diaz : Hey. He looks a little nervous, doesn't he?
Kane Wolfman : I can smell it on him from here.
Carrie Cutter : It's okay, sweetie. I'll protect you.
Curtis Holt : [typing on his tablet] You know, it's really gonna be nice to finally have some peace and quiet.
-
China White : What the hell are you doing?
Curtis Holt : Making sure that the bombs inside of your neck work. But to do that, I need to turn them off, which means that you have to take a nap.
China White : It's strange, you thinking it's a good idea to give me drugs.
Curtis Holt : [one of his computers beeps] No. No, no, no. This can't be right. No, no, no, no, no.
Ricardo Diaz : [breaking free of his restraints] I thought you were some kind of genius.
-
Ricardo Diaz : This is the Dragon. A.R.G.U.S. is coming for you.
Curtis Holt : And we'll be sure to send him your regards when we do.
[Diaz stops his van]
Curtis Holt : What's the matter? You look like you've heard a ghost.
Ricardo Diaz : [the van dissolves, and he finds himself back at A.R.G.U.S] What the hell just happened?
Curtis Holt : Well, first, I overrode the explosive program A.R.G.U.S. put inside your head with a virtual reality simulation that started running about twenty minutes before you remembered getting your sedative. Then I owned your ass.
Ricardo Diaz : You're dead.
Curtis Holt : No. See, that all happened in your head, too. By the way, harsh.
