Oliver Queen : What was on the drive?
General Stewart : A list of assets we have in the field; special operatives with high-level security clearance.
Felicity Smoak : That's why Emiko took Archer, so that she could hunt them down and then gain access to what they know, which she could pretty much do with anybody now that she has their DNA.
Dinah Drake : It's only a matter of time before they find everyone on that list.
Oliver Queen : We need to make sure those assets are secure.
General Stewart : We have protocols in place. I'll call my assets to a safe house.
-
Alena : My friend at Magnus Labs says that Archer could really help Doc Magnus with these new AIs he's building. I could set a meeting.
Felicity Smoak : Magnus Labs is the gold standard in tech R&D. Oh, my god. With their backing, we could expand Archer to be more than just a genetic tracking system or surveillance for the SCPD. I mean, it could be a bigger and better overwatch system. I mean, it could-it could...
Alena : It's a chance to change the world.
-
General Stewart : I'm sorry my men weren't there sooner, Ms. Smoak. It seems that the Ninth Circle was a step ahead of us, as well.
Felicity Smoak : You must be General Stewart, AKA the stepfather that John hasn't told his closest friends about.
-
Dinah Drake : And you said you didn't need any backup.
John Diggle : Yeah, well, we lost Virgil, but we got what he was after.
Oliver Queen : This drive feels like our best lead at finding Emiko, at least until Archer's back up.
Felicity Smoak : Alena is pulling all-nighters to get Archer back up and running, and once it does, we will be able to find Emiko.
Oliver Queen : And finally tell her that Dante killed her mother.
Rene Ramirez : And, hopefully, she'll come to her senses about the Ninth Circle.
Felicity Smoak : Well, that would be enough for me to turn myself against the evil organization that raised me as a child.
-
Felicity Smoak : [hearing Archer back online] Ohh. I have missed your sweet voice.
Alena : You know she's not a real person, right?
Felicity Smoak : Of course she's not. No. I am just so glad that we are able to start building the program out again. It feels wrong confining Archer to just one tablet, even temporarily. She deserves to spread her wings, right after we find Oliver's evil half-sister.
Alena : Speaking of spreading wings, um, I think I've found a way to help Smoak Tech really soar.
Felicity Smoak : Oh, yeah?
Alena : Yeah. There's someone interested in buying the company.
Felicity Smoak : It's just you, me, and Archer. I mean, who would be interested in that?
Alena : Dr. Will Magnus.
Felicity Smoak : What? Hmm. *The* Dr. Will Magnus?
Alena : Mm-hmm.
Felicity Smoak : The world's foremost authority on robotics engineering.
Alena : Mm-hmm.
Felicity Smoak : When I was CEO of Palmer Tech, he wouldn't even return my calls.
-
Mia Smoak : Okay, so how do we get this piece of junk up and running?
Felicity Smoak : The power module is comprised with an alloy proprietary to Galaxy One. I've been trying to work around it, but I can't without the real thing.
Connor Hawke : Wait. I thought this helmet was a one-of-a-kind prototype.
Felicity Smoak : Well, as far as we know. But the power module is not, which means we need to find one.
Mia Smoak : All right, public enemy number one, sit tight. I know where to go. Be back in an hour.
Connor Hawke : Hey, anyone dealing in secret weapons tech won't be friendly. You need backup.
Felicity Smoak : Better safe than sorry.
Mia Smoak : [he follows her out] Keep up.
-
Felicity Smoak : Then this crazy Irish guy came busting through, and Alena and I tried to fight them off, but then the DIA came crashing through the ceiling and took them all out.
Dinah Drake : What about Archer?
Felicity Smoak : Virgil made away with it.
Oliver Queen : Look, w-we'll get it back. I'm-I'm glad you're okay.
Rene Ramirez : How'd they find out about Archer?
Dinah Drake : I'll give you one guess. Emiko.
-
TAC Team Leader : You're safe now.
Felicity Smoak : They weren't after me.
[seeing her tablet is gone]
Felicity Smoak : Oh, my god. She's gone.
Alena : They couldn't have gotten her, could they?
Felicity Smoak : The Ninth Circle has Archer.
-
Mia Smoak : Well, I guess I don't have to ask how this is going.
Felicity Smoak : Well, as glad as I am that you both got to meet Laurel, her cry really did a number on this helmet. How'd it go at the bunker?
Connor Hawke : Good. The bombs we stole from Galaxy One are now secure. Roy and Dinah are setting up a perimeter in case they ever come looking for them. And William is making sure they can't be detonated unless, well, we say so.
Mia Smoak : Although maybe he'd be more useful helping you out with this?
Felicity Smoak : The helmet is inlaid with this highly advanced circuitry mesh and retinal display, and I will not be able to figure out why until I get it up and running.
Connor Hawke : What do you think you'll find?
Felicity Smoak : Hopefully, whatever Galaxy One has planned next, if they haven't stopped from making the city go boom-boom.
-
Oliver Queen : Kidnapping a four-star general is a risky move for the Ninth Circle, especially if the Pentagon's on to them. So, why? Why do it?
Felicity Smoak : I don't know. We need to find out more about who he is, what makes him so important.
Oliver Queen : I'd imagine his files are really, really classified.
Felicity Smoak : "Really, really classified" sounds really, really fun. I'm on it.
-
Wild Dog : This place is a pigsty. Either he's messy as hell...
Black Canary : Or someone made it that way.
Wild Dog : Overwatch, any sign of our guests?
Felicity Smoak : I'm getting three heat sigs further in.
Julian Sison : [hearing a scream, they burst into the next room] What the hell's going on?
Oliver Queen : Are you Julian Sison?
Julian Sison : Yeah.
Black Canary : Then why didn't you answer your transponder?
Julian Sison : [Oliver gestures for them to speak privately] 'Cause I'm in the middle of an op, and you three just blew it.
Oliver Queen : Overwatch, there is no sign of Emiko or the Ninth Circle. If this guy isn't the target, then who is?
-
General Stewart : We got a problem, people.
Oliver Queen : What's going on?
General Stewart : I just got off the phone with Intelligence. All of our assets have been accounted for except one; an undercover agent by the name of Julian Sison. He should be at a safe house, but there's been no response since the call came in.
Felicity Smoak : Where is the safe house?
General Stewart : Thirty miles northeast of here.
Oliver Queen : We'll get into it.
General Stewart : I'll check with the other assets, see if there's been any...
John Diggle : I'll come with you. Somebody needs to keep an eye on you.
General Stewart : You think I'm trying to mislead you?
John Diggle : Fool me once, right?
-
Felicity Smoak : The drive has a security failsafe that fried all the files, probably to prevent someone like me from trying to do what I am trying to do. But these aren't A.R.G.U.S.-encrypted protocols. Someone else must've written the security program for this drive.
Oliver Queen : Wait, if it's not A.R.G.U.S., who is it?
Felicity Smoak : Well, I have hacked enough government servers in my day to know that this is the Department of Defense. Not that I do that anymore, because I work with the SCPD. But this branch is the DIA.
Dinah Drake : What would the Ninth Circle want with the Defense Intelligence Agency?
Oliver Queen : We need to find out.
Rene Ramirez : Yeah, you're married to the A.R.G.U.S. director. Maybe she can help.
John Diggle : Yeah, well, any inquiries to A.R.G.U.S. will send up red flags, paint an even bigger target on Lyla's back than there already is. I think I might have an old contact at the DIA. A General.
-
Felicity Smoak : John's helmet just came back online.
Oliver Queen : Morse code. SOS. Location?
Felicity Smoak : Warehouse in the meatpacking district.
Oliver Queen : Call the team.
-
Felicity Smoak : According to the Pentagon's official account, the Vlatava mission was so successful that the General was actually, for a stint of time, appointed head of DARPA.
Oliver Queen : But i-if... if the mission was a success, why would he lie to John about it?
Felicity Smoak : To protect him?
-
Oliver Queen : Anything in the file that will help us find them?
Felicity Smoak : No. But, uh, plenty on why the Ninth Circle would want him.
Oliver Queen : Okay.
Felicity Smoak : Thrice-decorated commander of the 1st Recon Battalion during the Khandaq conflict, after which he was appointed commandant of the Marine Corps, then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. I mean, the guy is a real bonafide American hero.
Oliver Queen : Not to John. John blames General Stewart for his father's death during a mission. They were both on in Vlatava.
Felicity Smoak : Oh, yeah. That would be enough to alienate someone like John, and why he wouldn't have told us about him, but... it's not true.
Oliver Queen : Which part?
-
Felicity Smoak : I'm trying to track John's Spartan helmet, but it's offline.
Oliver Queen : Clearly, this was an elaborate play to draw General Stewart. We need to find he and John, and quickly.
Dinah Drake : I'll put a BOLO out for both of them.
Rene Ramirez : I'll put the word out around the Glades in case Emiko shows up in the old 'hood.
Oliver Queen : Or we just find Emiko and end all this.
Felicity Smoak : We will. We have found people without Archer before. We will find John and his stepdad, and then we will find your sister.
-
Alena : We have uplink.
Felicity Smoak : It's not working. I can't get through their firewall.
Alena : Wait, they locked you out of your own program? How?
Felicity Smoak : I don't know, but whatever they did, I can't get back control of Archer.
-
Alena : What the hell are you doing?
Felicity Smoak : I'm infecting it with a self-destruct protocol. Those boosters were the only reason we were able to access Archer. If the Ninth Circle gets their hands on it, we may never be able to access Archer again.
Alena : Well, what about all your hard work, your-your legacy?
Felicity Smoak : I guess I'll just have to build a new one.
-
Oliver Queen : Overwatch, do you have a bead on Emiko?
Felicity Smoak : I'm hacked into the exterior cameras, but she must already be inside. Without Archer, it's like I'm flying in blind.
Wild Dog : Isn't that what these boosters are for?
Felicity Smoak : Yes. Once you plant the signal boosters, I will be able to take back control of Archer and find Emiko.
Black Canary : [to Oliver] Go find your sister. We'll plant the boosters.
-
Felicity Smoak : Hey, guys, we found the weapon. Well, technically, the Ninth Circle did using Archer.
Alena : Felicity and I rode their coattails right into the secure facility where it's being stored.
Rene Ramirez : [seeing the map] Yup, that's definitely a secret weapons depot.
Dinah Drake : Okay, well, now that we know where we're going, we just have to figure how to get past Archer.
Felicity Smoak : The moment you set foot on-site, the Ninth Circle will know that you're there.
Oliver Queen : So we lose the element of surprise.
General Stewart : I'll call my team.
John Diggle : No. Wait. We got this.
General Stewart : Copy that.
John Diggle : Let's move.
-
Oliver Queen : What'd the Ninth Circle want from you, General?
General Stewart : Access to an experimental weapon I oversaw during my tenure at DARPA; Cygnus X-1. The project was shelved because it was too dangerous and unstable. The goal was to genetically engineer bacteria to consume the by-product of nuclear fission.
Felicity Smoak : So it's a biological weapon that can literally eat through anything. That's terrifying.
Dinah Drake : A weapon like that falls into the hands of the Ninth Circle, we're...
Oliver Queen : It won't. We're gonna stop them.
General Stewart : The problem is I don't know where it is.
Oliver Queen : Archer.
Felicity Smoak : [sarcastic] Great.
Oliver Queen : They are going to use the intel they get from the assets to locate the DNA of the people involved in Cygnus X-1.
John Diggle : And that DNA can lead them to exactly where that weapon is.
Felicity Smoak : If I can piggyback off Archer's signal, I'll be able to...
Oliver Queen : Lead us right to them.
-
Felicity Smoak : I figured out the silver lining to the whole torpedoing our only viable product is that we are gonna save so much money on servers, because Archer was a power suck.
[Alena smiles, but doesn't laugh]
Felicity Smoak : Not even a chuckle.
Alena : I guess I'm not really in the mood for the whole dark humor thing, what with our only viable product being destroyed and all.
Felicity Smoak : I'm sorry I destroyed our golden goose. Golden egg. Goose?
Alena : You know, we could rebuild. Make it better, less... stealable.
Felicity Smoak : Heh.
Alena : When you were uploading the self-destruct code, I copied Archer's root code. But with that and your notes, we could start over.
Felicity Smoak : No. I appreciate that. But as long as Archer's out there, it could fall into the wrong hands. And... I don't know what my legacy's gonna be, but it can't be that.
Alena : Well, that sounds like someone who hasn't heard Doc Magnus' offer.
[Felicity whistles]
Alena : Relax. I know. Legacy trumps payday.
-
Felicity Smoak : We're currently in a tie between good news and bad news, the good news being that I destroyed Archer, which I can't believe I'm counting as good news.
General Stewart : The bad news is the Ninth Circle got away with a very dangerous biological weapon.
Felicity Smoak : How did things go with Emiko?
Oliver Queen : I told her that Dante killed her mother, and it didn't make any difference.
Dinah Drake : I guess bad news wins this round.
-
Felicity Smoak : I'm really glad you're the CTO and not the CFO, because the CFO wouldn't be so chill about me deleting our only, only asset.
Alena : I have a question. Do we have a CFO?
Felicity Smoak : No. Quick question, do we need one?
Alena : Mmm, I think we should probably focus on coming up with our next project, one that makes us a lot of money.
Felicity Smoak : Yes. One that can help people, but also not lead to mass destruction.
Alena : Ohh, if we have to.
Felicity Smoak : Yes, we do. We must.
Alena : Hey, for what it's worth, being Overwatch won't be your only legacy. It'll be whatever you do next here at Smoak Tech. Because it's not Archer that was destined to change the world. It's you; Felicity Smoak.
-
Alena : You gonna tell me what's really bothering you?
Felicity Smoak : I love Team Arrow, but it is not enough. I need to do something separate. I need to do something separate that can still do good, and that's what Archer was supposed to be. You know, my way of making my mark on the world, and not as Overwatch. As me.
Alena : Well... it can still be that. We just need to get Archer back, and when we do, you just need to figure out how to make sure that your beautiful creation is used exactly the way you intended. You got this, Smoak.
-
Alena : It's like we're tracking the DNA of a DNA tracker. This is so meta.
Felicity Smoak : We need to be ready the moment they reactivate Archer. It's the only way to locate her signature.
Alena : Yeah, like one of those FBI movies where you have to keep the kidnapper on the line to trace the call.
Felicity Smoak : Yeah, except the kidnapper is the tech I invented, which almost makes me wish I hadn't.
Alena : What happened to Archer putting Smoak Tech on the map?
Felicity Smoak : Well, that was before I realized all the bad that she could do. I-I wanted to invent something that would help save the city, and instead, I made something that can destroy it. Oh, my god. I'm a mad scientist. Oh, my god. No. It's so much worse than that. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. I'm my dad.
Alena : I am your friend who has some real-life experience working with evil geniuses, and you need to trust me on this one. You are not one of them, okay?
-
Felicity Smoak : All right, madame helmet. Let's see what you're hiding. Here goes nothing.
Connor Hawke : It seems like it worked.
Felicity Smoak : That's not possible.
Mia Smoak : What is it?
Felicity Smoak : This helmet is a satellite to a much larger network. Galaxy One was able to expand Archer.
Connor Hawke : Hold on. I know Big Brother getting bigger isn't exactly great, but isn't Archer just a surveillance program?
Felicity Smoak : No, not if you weaponize it. Wearing one of these would be like wearing an AI-powered sixth sense. Pair that with tech-enhanced strength and agility... one of those troopers was able to take out half the Canaries. A whole army of them, they'll be unstoppable.
