Arrow s04e10 Episode Script

Blood Debts

Oliver: Previously, on "Arrow" I got an ID on our Mr.
Creepy.
I'm not sure what that symbol means.
It means anarchy.
Lonnie Machin.
Full time crazy pants.
[Groaning.]
Speedy, don't! Sometimes, the best way to teach someone a lesson isn't to punish them; it's to punish the ones he cares about the most.
Felicity Smoak Would you make me the happiest man on the face of the Earth? Yes! [Tires squealing.]
Now I know That it's not my fault.
It's my responsibility.
Responsibility? To do what? To end it.
I'm going to kill him.
[Indistinct chatter.]
Where is Damian Darhk?! [Indistinct chatter.]
Where's Darhk?! Where is Darhk? [Electricity buzzing.]
Any luck? Just more Ghosts who would rather die than talk.
Nobody--nobody is going to give up Darhk.
John, we got to talk to Andy again.
I don't think Andy is in a very cooperative place.
Darhk is gone to ground.
Right now, unless things change, Andy is our best chance of catching him.
Felicity's going in for another surgery.
If we hurry, we might be able to see her before she goes into prep.
No.
No.
Darhk's in the wind.
The longer he's there, the harder he's going to be to catch.
I'm going to stay here, find something useful from the tip line.
It's what Felicity would want me to do.
Can't lie your way out of this one, pal.
Reiter might have bought your B.
S.
before, but now, with these maps, and ol' Miss Ukraine over here still being alive, it's game over.
[Oliver groaning.]
He needs to rest-- for a moment.
Don't care.
Keep movin'.
And when he passes out, do you plan on killing him? Fine.
Quick.
[Groans.]
Hey, hey.
You need to make a run for it.
I'll distract Conklin.
By doing what? Bleeding on him? Well, isn't this touching? All right, come on, let's go.
Don't get too attached to him, sweetheart.
His prospects for a long life don't look too good.
Hey.
Hey.
How are you feeling? I have never been more ready to have a bunch of guys poking around inside me.
Doctors.
Doing doctor things.
Um, they think the last surgery will fix the nerve damage, so.
Mm-hmm.
These are from Oliver.
Well, that's really nice of him to stop by.
Yeah, it's ok.
I know he's doing everything he can to track down the, uhflowers.
Which is much more important.
Plus, I got all the support I need right here.
Felicity? Mm-hmm? I'm here to prep you for surgery.
I'm going to be fine.
Aren't you tired of this? Same dead end conversation.
I'm not talking, I'm not helping.
So how about you stop wasting both our time? The Green Arrow told me to have a conversation with you about Darhk.
[Both grunting and groaning.]
Wow.
I'm surprised, John.
I didn't think you had it in you.
I didn't.
So what changed? Her name is Felicity.
Yeah, listen, I know, I know, all right? Just--just do-- listen, I got to call you back, I'll call you back, bye.
How's she doing? She's in surgery again.
[Sighs.]
Then what are you doing here? Looking for Damian Darhk.
There's a card that we haven't turned over yet, and we haven't turned it over, because when we do, he will know that you are working with us.
You want to know where I've been meeting with Darhk.
Yeah.
You won't be able to go home.
Luckily, we have space in the bunker.
There are living quarters.
What about Laurel? She can take care of herself.
Yeah, she can do that.
Ok--office building, But with Felicity in the hospital, me and Laurel watching our backs, your team gets mighty small.
None of it matters once Darhk is off the board.
So you're back to dropping bodies? It's just this one.
Lonnie Machin.
The symbol that I found in Darhk's lair is consistent with the symbol that Machin left near the bodies of two paramedics a few months ago.
Ok, but why is Machin still targeting Ghosts? When he kidnapped Danforth's daughter, Darhk was the one who gave up his location.
This is payback.
Darhk cleared out before Machin got there; Darhk is one step ahead of Machin.
But Machin is one step ahead of us.
Yeah.
And I'll keep chipping away at my stone wall.
Wait.
How did you suddenly find Darhk's base of operations? Finally had an interrogation that went somewhere.
I'm going to bring up everything I can on Machin.
I'll ask my dad if SCPD found any leads at the crime scene.
[Reiter zips bag.]
Mr.
Conklin.
I trust there was a reason for this? It's like I've been telling you-- Queen's a liar.
Told me he killed this one.
Turns out he's just been keeping her stowed away.
What you and your men do to satisfy your needs outside of camp is no interest of mine.
I thought you might say that.
That's why I made sure to bring these with me.
I found these two coming up from a shipwrecked freighter.
Must have found them inside.
Now, if he's been on this island the whole time like he says How did he know where they were? I got those for you.
Forwhatever it is you're doing here.
And yet you waited all this time With someone you claimed to kill.
I've defended you, Mr.
Queen.
At the cost of my credibility with my men.
No more.
You can kill him now if you'd like.
Nah.
I got something else in mind.
You can't do this! You can't do this! [Whip cracks.]
Aahh! [Whip cracks.]
Aahh! [Whip cracks.]
Aahh! [Exhales.]
How's Felicity? She's in surgery.
It's a long procedure.
I'm going to go to the hospital in a bit, but I needed to come here and get something first.
What? I'd hate to see the other guy.
The other guy's Andy.
We had to get information on Darhk.
I thought that was Oliver's vendetta.
Oliver does have a vendetta.
I'm just trying to keep my friends safe.
You feel betrayed.
I do feel betrayed, Lyla, he was my brother.
My family.
I think that's your problem.
[Exhales.]
Ever since you heard about what Andy did back in Afghanistan, Andy stopped being Andy to you.
He became a traitor.
The enemy.
Yeah, and then he doubled down and became one of Darhk's Ghosts.
And you've been treating him like a Ghost ever since.
How's that working out for you? What's your point, Lyla? If you're not getting through to Andy as a Ghost, maybe you should try reaching him as your brother.
No.
No.
I can't do that.
Sure you can.
I've seen the love you have for your brother, Johnny.
The strength of it.
It's iron.
Before you give up on Andy, just make sure he sees what I do-- a man who'd go to the ends of the Earth for the ones he loves.
And if it helps Consider it an order, soldier.
You doing ok? You mean now that Machin's back? I'm sure he's not after you.
Why would he be? I only burned his face off in a fiery fit of Lazarus rage.
Thea Look, you know those crime scene photos that Ollie showed us with paramedics and writing symbols in blood? Whoever is out there now is a complete monster.
A monster that we're going to catch.
I don't know anymore! And lately, I can't seem to win for losing.
What do you mean? When we got John's brother out of HIVE, I ran in to Damian Darhk.
And he--he tried to use his creepy magic mojo on me, but After that, my blood lust was better.
It was almost completely gone.
I don't know; I really just thought I was starting to get on the other side of this.
Hey.
Sounds like you already are.
Except now Machin's out there and he has a blood lust of his own.
And it's completely my fault.
No, Thea, you can't think that way.
It's far too late for that.
It's all right, sweetheart, it's all right.
Dad! Ahem.
Whatare you I had no idea that Felicity's friend wasQuentin's daughter.
[Chuckles.]
It's such a small world.
Microscopic.
Um, Thea, I've been-- I've been trying to get Donna to eat something up at the cafeteria, but maybe you'd have better luck.
UhYeah.
Yeah.
Sure, sure.
Come on.
Yeah, ok.
I was--I was going to say something, but then everything with Felicity, and Dad, Dad It's fine.
Really? I want you to be happy.
Ok, so Oliver found Darhk's base of operations, and I'm guessing that's thanks to you? Well, there's no use being on the inside if I can't provide inside Intel, right? Darhk's going to realize that you're helping the Green Arrow.
I think that ship's probably already sailed.
Don't worry, I can look after myself.
I'm more worried about you.
I though we already worked past this.
There's no working past a father caring about his daughter.
[Cell phone vibrates.]
Hmm, text from the new girlfriend? Easy, get out of here.
Crime lab.
I have half the CSIs I got working on the HIVE crime scene.
I doubt they'll find anything.
The Ghosts have their DNA scrambled.
Which makes this particularly strange.
The blood Machin used for his graffiti didn't come from the Ghosts.
How do you know? The CSU got a match.
Two of them, actually.
Michael and Crystal Olguin.
Machin's foster parents.
Kidnapped three days ago.
Machin's settling old scores.
He planted their blood at HIVE, so clearly Darhk is next on his list.
But Machin's got to be laying low somewhere, right? You think his former home? Well, I mean, it's vacant now.
Yeah, maybe they have a security system we can hack into.
I've got it.
Or not.
Here, let me try it.
Ok, wait, who is that? That's him.
Suit up.
Well, that's not at all creepy.
Front's clear.
Same.
Except for trash, flies, and some bad graffiti.
[TV on in distance.]
Wait, I think we might have something.
[Men talking on TV.]
I was expecting Mr.
Darhk's friends, butyou guys are a pleasant surprise.
Especially you, dear.
Hey! Don't move.
Funny I was going to tell you the same thing.
It's a motion sensor.
Oh, did you think I was going to kill you? Why would I do such a thing? You're the one who saved me from myself.
Come on, then.
Hit me with your best shot.
[Canary cry.]
Oh, that's pretty.
Did you take voice lessons? Move, Thea.
Stay away from her! Oh, I would never hurt her.
You, on the other hand Speedy, you ok? Now what? Find out what he knows.
Aren't we risking some crazy Bond villain stupidity here? I mean, this guy needs to be put away.
Far, far away.
Machin found Darhk's base of operations without any help.
I need to know how; I need to know where Darhk is right now, and the cops can have him when I am done with him.
Machin is about ten different kinds of deranged.
Why would you believe anything he tells you? I don't have any other choice.
Now I am done talking about this.
Give me the room.
I thought we've moved past this.
Sorry to disappoint.
Wake up.
Where's Damian Darhk? [Scoffs.]
He went home.
Ahem.
I was planning a party for him.
You interrupted my-- Tell me where he is! Or what? Look at me.
What could you possible do that I haven't already enjoyed? Hey! Get out! No.
Look, there's something you need to hear.
What?! Felicity's out of surgery.
Donna just texted me.
They didn't say what was wrong.
But I--I don't think it's good.
You need to go there.
[Groans.]
Back for more? Does beating up on your little brother give you a little thrill? I'm not proud of what I did, Andy.
In fact, I'm ashamed of it.
You, John? Mr.
High and Mighty? Do you remember the last time you beat on me until your knuckles bled? Yeah, I do.
Ten years ago.
When I found out you were dealing.
Yeah.
You convinced me to enlist.
To go the straight and narrow like my big bro.
And I tried.
Honestly, I tried, man.
Enough to fool you.
That's just not who I was.
'Cause it's always been about you, John.
'Cause I'm such an embarrassment, and my bad deeds look bad on you.
No, Andy, no, that's not true.
I did what I did because I love you, man.
No, I do, Andy.
Then, now.
Andy, you're still my little brother who I stayed up late playing cards with.
You're going through this, that's on me.
But do you really think Damian Darhk gives a damn about you? He believes that the world needs a reset.
And honestly, John, after what we witnessed in Afghanistan, can you tell me otherwise? Ok.
All right, so you and Darhk are burning the village in order to save it.
I get that.
Malcolm Merlyn was talking the same tune.
But Andy, Darhk hurt a friend of mine.
A close friend.
A woman better than you and me put together.
It doesn't matter if Darhk wants to save the world-- he crossed a line.
So I'm asking you, Andy-- begging you, man Brother to brother.
Where can I find Darhk? He, um Likes to talk about Stonehaven.
About how the leaves look there in autumn.
Thanks, Andy.
Don't thank me.
You're ashamed.
Now we're even.
Speedy.
[Laughs.]
That is what the blonde with the black leather and the big mouth called you, right? Hard to look at me, I know.
Your doing.
I owe you a thank you.
Baptism by fire, it's transcendent.
You burnt away my weakness like a Phoenix rising from the ashes.
If you thought burning your face off was fun, keep talking.
I'll put an arrow through your eye.
So why hold back? I know you want to kill me.
Because I can control myself.
No, you can't.
Look, you think you can, you say you can, but I can see it in your eyes.
The hunger to deliver death.
Oh, delicious.
[Inhales sharply.]
Told you.
[Sirens.]
Bye, dear.
Man on TV: downtown Star City where the SCPD has apprehended a fugitive wanted for murdering Hi, Donna.
Where have you been? I I should have been here.
Thea said that Felicity is out of surgery? Yeah, yeah, she's, uh, well, she's got a new diagnosis.
What? They can't They can't fix her.
What do you mean, they can't fix her? The damage to her spinal cord, it's Oliver, it's permanent.
She's never going to walk again.
No.
No.
We'll talk to another doctor.
No, no, no, see, you don't-- this--this is the other doctor, ok? This is the doctor that came all the way from Central City.
This is the doctor.
Where is she? I need to see her.
She's in recovery.
Man on TV: We have a special report.
Lonnie Machin has just been apprehended by the Star City police department.
D.
A.
Laurel Lance was onsite to oversee his detainment.
We'll have updated information you upon his release.
[Whip cracks.]
Aahh! [Gasping.]
[Whip cracks.]
Aahh! [Groaning.]
Stop! What? Stop.
You said he was mine to do whatever I want with.
That was before I saw the signs on his abdomen.
Hmm.
Well, you can look at it all you want after he's dead.
I have a need of him.
No, no, no, everyone stay back.
Well, I count five guns.
And you got one.
What you going to do? You can't run.
I'm not running.
[Tires squealing.]
Ah, long time, no see.
We didn't finish our conversation.
And what, I'm supposed to be so grateful, I'm just going to give up what I know about where Darhk is? Not likely.
You make sure he's dead.
Have you completely lost your mind? I don't have time for a debate.
Good, because there's nothing to debate.
What you did-- What I did? I did what I had to do after you made it necessary.
Machin was only arrested by the SCPD because you gave him up.
You were holding a man prisoner as some sort of personal vendetta! Do you have any idea how many people Damian Darhk and HIVE have killed over the past six months? This might be a vendetta, but it's not personal.
I don't know what's worse-- you actually believe that, or you expect me to.
I put a tracker on Machin.
He will lead us to Darhk, and then we will take both of them down.
And when your master plan doesn't work, you just sent a murdering psychotic back on the streets.
Like you did with Sara.
That's not fair.
What's going on? Oliver broke Machin out of custody.
What? Using Machin to get to Darhk, period.
If either of you has a problem with it, you know where the door is.
Laurel, give us a second.
I don't have time for a lecture, John.
There's no lecture here, Oliver, but you should know that Andy gave me a lead on Darhk and I've been working on it.
Good.
What have you found? Unfortunately, it was a dead end, but-- But nothing.
But nothing.
Oliver, I know you're hurting, man, but you should know that whatever your play is I got your back.
But? But you've come so far, Oliver.
You've recovered a humanity that you lost when I first met you.
I know you want payback for what Darhk did to Felicity, and you should.
But don't lose what made her fall in love with you in the first place.
Oh, hey.
What are you doing here? I came by to tell you, um I can't do this.
[Exhales.]
My anger management issues, they are less manageable than I thought.
Look, I called what's going on with you anger management because I don't know what else to call it.
All I know is that there's something that's really bothering you and if I know what it is, maybe I can help.
You can't.
ThisThis can't really be helped.
I don't believe that.
I don't believe that for a second.
Thea, you've lived through more tragedies than a person has any right to.
Instead of crumbling, here you are.
Every single day, working to rebuild your home.
You've got steel inside of you, Thea.
That's what drew me to you in the first place.
Thank you.
I'm Just not ready.
Well, hey, when you are, I'll be here.
Ok.
[Sighs.]
Oh, boy.
What did I miss? That's a long story.
Short version-- Machin's gotten loose; he's after Darhk and we're tracking him.
Wait, what? What happens if he gets out and starts hurting people? That's exactly my point.
It doesn't matter.
You sound like him.
No, I mean, the tracker's gone dark.
I mean, we just lost his signal, he must have found the tracker! We lost him.
[Scoffs.]
Ok, so, what do we do now? I don't know.
That was the whole plan.
Oliver, go see Felicity.
Not right now, John, not with-- Then when? She needs you.
And right now, I think you need her, too.
We will find Machin.
Look They are right, ok? We are going to figure this out.
But right now, you need to go and be with her.
[Monitor beeping.]
Hey, stranger.
Sorry I didn't come by sooner.
It's It's unforgivable.
Only if you were in Bali or something.
Were you in Bali? No, I was, uh Beating the streets.
Probably a lot of people looking for Darhk.
I didn't want to come and see you until Darhk was off the board.
Any luck? Working some leads.
Tell me you haven't gone off the rails.
Well I just I can't help but think that The reason that Darhk is winning is because I haven't been willing to go far enough and that if I was, if I had, maybe you wouldn't be in here right now.
And I don't know what the point of what I'm doing as Green Arrow is if I can't protect the people that are closest to me.
Well, what's the point of doing it if you lose yourself in the process? Yeah.
There's something else we need to talk about.
The doctors They say that I'm, uh I know.
My point being is we didn't really exchange any vows, so the whole for better, for worse thing doesn't really apply here.
What are you talking about? And maybe the real reason you haven't been here - is because - Felicity.
The nurse, she took this off of you in the E.
R.
How dare she.
For better, for worse.
Ok.
He's bluffing.
Reiter, I can help you find what you need On one condition.
What do you want? I want Taiana's safety.
So long as she is alive, I'll cooperate.
He's manipulating you.
What do you think he's been doing this whole time? You give him what he wants, he's going to turn on you.
Do we have a deal or not? Take them both to prison.
You can't trust him.
Remember, Conklin There's no part of my plan which requires you to be alive.
[Monitor beeping.]
You know, we go out every night Suiting up, risking our lives, fighting assassins and meta-humans and all the worst kinds of people.
She's stronger than all of us.
You won't get an argument from me.
Oliver, we might have something.
John's brother said Darhk could be found in a place called Stonehaven.
Dig said that lead was a dead end.
That was before we cross referenced the tracker's location and came back with a residential address.
Machin's going after Darhk where he lives.
We're going to roll out.
I thoughtyou might want to tag along.
Thank you.
Let's go.
All righty.
I just spoke with Mr.
Darhk.
He's on his way.
Traffic's a bitch.
[Chuckles.]
Could take a while.
I really don't see why we can't have some fun in the meanwhile.
Just so you know, this isn't your fault.
You see, daddy done me wrong.
There needs to be recompense for that.
He's not responsible for what-- for what happened to my face.
Not directly, but incidentally.
And isn't that what anarchy is? The intersection of seemingly unconnected events? Who owns the house? It's owned by a dummy corporation.
Couldn't work through all the layers without Felicity.
And we're sure that Machin's inside? Oh, yeah.
We're sure.
Hey.
Get on the ground! First, you catch me.
Then, you break me out.
Now, you want to catch me again.
Make up your mind.
Let's take him.
Get them out of here! Come on! - Split up.
- Ok.
[Both grunting.]
There it is.
Shut up.
A little piece of me inside of you just begging to come out and play.
[Groaning.]
Where's my family?! I saved them.
I want to be clear about something-- I have shown you repeatedly that you cannot beat me.
You saved my family.
So I'll give you a few weeks to spend with yours.
Enjoy your time.
What's left of it.
You missed.
On purpose.
I'm disappointed in you.
[Both grunting.]
Are Darhk's wife and daughter in police custody? They told police they weren't his wife and daughter.
Had fake ID and everything.
Speedy You ok? Yeah.
I'm just sorry I let Machin get away.
I'm just glad that you're all right.
I'm going to go see Felicity.
The Chinese use this island as a prison.
Bet you didn't know that.
Said being sentenced here was worse than any jail.
Guess I'll just have to see if I can give those Chinese a run for their money.
[Oliver groaning.]
Reiter's going to get through with you eventually, and then you and me will have a little uninterrupted time.
[Groaning.]
You've lost a lot of blood.
You shouldn't let these wounds sit open like that.
Thank you.
You saved my life again.
Really, at the expense of your own.
Well, you didn't deserve to die.
You're a good man.
My brother would have liked you.
[Sighs.]
I already told you everything I know, John.
I'm not here to ask you any questions, Andy.
Thank you for coming.
Yeah, I'm, uh Glad I did.
And glad you called.
You know, this is a little bit confusing.
Yeah.
[Chuckles.]
First we're on, then we're off, now we're Both: Drinking wine.
Look, um Something happened earlier today, and I guess I just wanted to say that you were right.
I am stronger than I think I am.
Well Here's to being stronger, huh? [Monitor beeping.]
Mmm.
How you feeling? How long you been sitting there? Not long enough.
Sorry I went away.
I think you apologized already.
Nowhere near done apologizing.
[Chuckles.]
You know I think I want to go to Bali.
Yeah.
Want to come with me? Yeah.
I'd go anywhere with you.
Yeah? Just one question.
Mm-hmm? What's Damian Darhk doing in Bali? I only ask, 'cause if he's still here, we have some work to do.
How'd you get to be so strong? [Chuckles.]
I took my lead from you.
Shhh.
I've bought out the Fairmount for the month.
You'll be safe there until we find a new home.
And what about the man that attacked us? Lonnie Machin? He'll never hurt you again.
Those vigilantes saved us.
My dearest Ruvé, do I detect a note of criticism in your voice? Yes.
But not the one you think.
You should have killed the Green Arrow tonight.
As you said, he saved your life.
It would be bad form to take him out now.
Genesis is almost ready.
We're much too close to play games.
Do you remember what I promised you? A new beginning.
And you will have it.
Once we've brought this world to its end.
Are you ok? Are you? No.
You know what you have to do, right? You have to kill the son of a bitch.
Greg! Move your head.
