Dad, I'm sorry about this morning. But if I told you the real reason to come see me, you wouldn't have shown up.

You're damn right I wouldn't.

I feel like I'm letting everybody down. My family and Tommy and You. I feel like I'm letting you down.

You're being too hard on yourself. We both have demanding jobs.

That's no excuse for hurting the people closest to you.

Why don't you go home and be with your family, man?

That's when the work is done, Diggle.

Ok, then I'll take you out to dinner.

I'm not hungry.

I'm not asking.

What's the problem? Do you think I'm losing my grip?

No, it's just the opposite, really. You seem calm. Scary calm.

Who taught you how to fight?

My father wanted a son.

He got one.

I got some follow up questions on the Sparks' girl's death.

Sure. The girl was in the club before she got run-over.

You said you didn't know her, but, um, but the last text off her phone was to you.

Really? Because, uh... Well, I'll be damned. Huh. Well, I didn't reply. I get a hundred texts like this a night. People wanting to get into the club.

So that's what she meant by, 'Can you hook me up?'

What else would it be about?

Missing ten grand. You paid it to him to skip the inspection of your nightclub. Why'd you do that, Merlyn? What didn't you want him to find?

We got nothing to hide here.

Great. Then let's just take a little look around.

Absolutely. When you come back with a search warrant.

Are you sure this is how you want to play this?

Apparently.

Ollie. What's wrong?

Bad night.

It's about to get worse. Mr. Meryln, as requested, a warrant to search these premises.

A sub level is not listed on the inspection's floor plans. However, I pulled the county records. There's something down there. I want to see for myself what it is. Oh, look at that. Open the door.

You're making a mistake.

No. You are. If you don't open that door. I said, open the door.

So if you don't have anything to hide. Why didn't you want the inspector down here?

Well, the ventilation system in this place hasn't been updated since the sixties. Maybe we shouldn't even be open.

So let me ask you a question, pal. What have I done in the last 6 months since you've been home that would lead you to believe that I would sell drugs?

In the last 6 months? Nothing. Before I left, you played hard. You played with bad people who were into bad stuff.

And so did you, Oliver. But I changed just like you did. Now you put arrows in people who do illegal things. Last time I checked, bribing a city inspector was not legal.

Do you actually think that I could hurt you?

Truthfully, I have no idea what the hell you would do. You are a complete mystery to me. I've got no idea how you find it so easy to kill people. The next time you decide to think the worst of me, imagine what I now think of you.

What's his problem?

What's yours?

Excuse me?

I asked Felicity to get in touch with you. There was a hostage situation at the aquarium.

I'm sorry, I didn't get that message till it was over.

Why?

Because I was busy doing something else.

Cops came around, started asking questions, you faked the Count's disappearance to draw attention away from yourself. It's clever.

I wasn't trying to be a criminal mastermind. I just needed the money. Something I'm sure a billionaire wouldn't understand.

Believe me, I understand you perfectly.

At the risk of ending up with an arrow in my eye, can I ask… When are you planning on making peace with Diggle?

He's the one who left, Felicity. I did everything I could to stop him.

Except apologize. You promised you'd help him track down Floyd Lawton and then you...

Made a choice that I can life with. If he can't, then I don't need him.

We have a lead on Walter. I need you to come back and help us find him.

Oliver put you up to this?

No. He doesn't even know I'm here.
