David Ramsey: John Diggle

Irreconcilable Differences

John Diggle

Rene Ramirez: Agent Watson came to me. She said she had proof that I was Wild Dog and that she was gonna use it against me to make sure that I never saw Zoe again. She said she had a solid case against you, and that she was gonna arrest you either way. You were going down. I just couldn't make the trip with you.
John Diggle: You should have told us, Rene. We could have figured something out.
Rene Ramirez: There was nothing to figure out, hoss. Right? There is no other way.
Felicity Smoak: Yeah, now we'll never know.
Oliver Queen: Rene... get out.
[nobody moves]
Oliver Queen: Get. Out.

John Diggle: Oliver, why not just confront whoever this is and give them a chance to come clean?
Oliver Queen: What makes you think they're gonna be forthcoming? How do we know that this isn't just the... the surface of this betrayal? I mean... look, John, I don't want to spy on them, but if you have a better idea, I'm all for it.

Felicity Smoak: If someone goes somewhere suspicious, we'll know.
John Diggle: Felicity, we were all just at the wedding. The most suspicious place they can go is out for late-night pizza.
Oliver Queen: John, either Cutis, Dinah, or Rene gave me up. We need to know why, we need to know who. Otherwise, when you put the hood back on, you could be next.

Felicity Smoak: It's safe to say there are no good reasons that Cayden wants that amplifier.
Thea Queen: It sounds like a trap.
John Diggle: He has Quentin. It doesn't matter. He has leverage.
Oliver Queen: Can you and Curtis make a... a replica of this thing, a fake to pass off to Cayden James?
Felicity Smoak: No. I mean, we're good, but we're not that good. It's one of a kind.
Thea Queen: Isn't this guy some type of genius hacker? He knows it's at A.R.G.U.S. Why doesn't he just hack in there himself?
Felicity Smoak: A.R.G.U.S. is 100% airgapped. I mean, you can't access their network unless you're on-site, and I doubt he wants to cross paths with A.R.G.U.S. since they held him prisoner for eight months.
Oliver Queen: He's using us instead.

John Diggle: A.R.G.U.S. isn't just gonna hand over this amplifier. They have a longstanding policy of not negotiating with terrorists.
Oliver Queen: Let's bring in Curtis and Rene.
John Diggle: No Dinah?
Oliver Queen: Until we know where her loyalties lie, she's out.

Curtis Holt: Remember that thermobaric bomb that Cayden stole? Well, this will multiply the blast radius twenty fold easily.
John Diggle: That's the entire city, and then some.
Rene Ramirez: Look, I want to save Lance as much as anyone, but he wouldn't want this. I mean, he wouldn't want us to just hand over something so dangerous to some psycho.
Oliver Queen: Yeah, well, that's exactly what we're going to do. Curtis is gonna sabotage it.
Curtis Holt: Curtis is gonna do what, now?
Oliver Queen: The amplifier doesn't have to work. We just need Cayden James to think that it works long enough for us to get Quentin back.

Wild Dog: Thanks for having me back, man.
Green Arrow: Let's get our friend back. This where Cayden James wants to make the exchange?
Felicity Smoak: Yep. It's a no-brainer he picked this place. It's a digital black hole. There's no cameras, insulated walls. Once you guys get inside, I'm totally blind.
John Diggle: But that means so is he.
Green Arrow: Get the amplifier working?
Mr. Terrific: I hope so, 'cause otherwise we'd be handing a crazy psychopath the means to crater the entire city.
[seeing Arrow's look]
Mr. Terrific: I mean yes. Yes, it's ready.
Green Arrow: I will handle the exchange. You three be my eyes and ears. The priority is extracting Quentin, but if we get a chance to take Cayden James into custody, we take it. Whatever we're going through here, whatever issues we have, let's put it aside and get the job done.

Black Canary: No sign of Lance or Laurel.
Wild Dog: We can't see anything from up here. Let's search the building.
John Diggle: Green Arrow said stay put until he makes the exchange.
Wild Dog: What? We're... we're his eyes and ears and we can't even look around?
Felicity Smoak: Guys, we need you as backup.
Mr. Terrific: Well, maybe if you bugged Lance like you bugged us, we'd know where he was.
Felicity Smoak: Whoa, whoa. We didn't bug you guys. We tracked your GPS. It's totally different.
Mr. Terrific: [turning off his comm] Bugging me now.
Felicity Smoak: You know I can hear you through Wild Dog's comms. You know that, right?

Rene Ramirez: Look, man. I know you're pissed at me, and I don't care, because you left us blind out there, and I wasn't gonna let Lance die just because you didn't trust us enough to go off leash and look for him.
Oliver Queen: When we are in the field, there is a clear chain of command, plain and simple.
Rene Ramirez: I've been the same guy tonight that I've always been since you brought me onto this team.
Oliver Queen: Rene, yes, that's true. You have; sometimes, you go your own way.
Rene Ramirez: That's right.
Oliver Queen: And I put up with it because I trusted you.
Rene Ramirez: What's that supposed to mean?
Oliver Queen: You got a second chance tonight, my friend, and you broke our trust again. You don't get a third. You're off the team.
Rene Ramirez: Just like that?
Oliver Queen: Just like that.
Rene Ramirez: [turning to leave] It's been real, y'all.
Dinah Drake: Yeah, I hate to say it, but Oliver is right. We're a team. We need to... we need to trust each other, need to believe in each other. I don't believe in you anymore.
John Diggle: Dinah.
Dinah Drake: Don't. It's too late. I'm out, too.

John Diggle: I'm just gonna say this. I don't think there's anything that has been said or done that can't be undone.
Felicity Smoak: I don't think I agree, John.
Oliver Queen: I agree with Felicity. We need to move forward.
Curtis Holt: [entering] Sorry I'm late. Um, I think I probably might still be a little hung over. I've also been thinking about a few things. Oliver, you and Dinah were right. No trust, no team. You all spied on me, invaded my privacy. Whether you couldn't trust me or not, it means that I can't trust you.
Felicity Smoak: Curtis, what's that supposed to mean?
Curtis Holt: I'm still a part of Helix Dynamics, Felicity. That's separate, but this...
[indicating the bunker]
Curtis Holt: I'm done.

John Diggle: Hey. Just got your message. Usually, a bride and groom like to be alone on their wedding night. What's up?
Oliver Queen: Somebody on the team gave me up to Samanda Watson.
John Diggle: That's impossible, Oliver. No one would do that.
Oliver Queen: Lance got it from Jean Loring. Jean Loring got it from District Attorney Armand.
Felicity Smoak: I'm running surveillance on Curtis, Dinah, and Rene, and I have worms crawling through their texts and e-mails.
John Diggle: You're spying on them?
Felicity Smoak: I'm not spying on them. I'm, like, keeping tabs.
