Fighting Fire With Fire

1 Oliver, voice-over: My name is Oliver Queen. After 5 years in Hell, I returned home with only one goal-- to save my city. Today I fight that war on two fronts. By day, I lead Star City as its mayor, but by night, I am someone else. I amSomething else. I am the Green Arrow. Previously on "Arrow" Huh! Gregor: You are not going to be Bratva captain for much longer. Thea: Susan Williams, SHE is suspecting that Oliver's the Green Arrow. What are we gonna do? Hack into her computer and find out what's there. - She has - Everything. Apparently, I've been plagiarizing my stories for the past years, and my laptop is filled with incriminating evidence, but now I've been thoroughly discredited. Did you hack Susan Williams' computer? Thea asked me to put a few things on Susan's computer. Wait. Wait, wait, wait. Thea asked you? Bethany, on TV: The mayor's office ordered the falsification of autopsy reports to protect the identity of Detective Malone's killer. If any of these allegations prove true, it would likely trigger impeachment proceedings. This might be the end of my administration. [Reporters clamoring] When did you learn the Green Arrow killed Detective Malone? Why did you protect the Green Arrow? Quentin: There's no comment at this time, but we will have something for you shortly. Thanks. I've called in every favor I could. I still don't know how this got leaked. We know how it got leaked. It's Prometheus. He sent the ACU after me as the Green Arrow, and now he's coming after me as the mayor. Something he set you up for in the first place. Nobody's saying the guy isn't smart. We're just gonna have to be smarter. What's the plan, boss? We don't have a plan yet, but if we lose this office, then Prometheus wins. I just realized, am I allowed to be in here? Usually, the detail stands outside. - Better go blend in. - Ok. Well, on the political front, I think the plan should be to deny, deflect, obfuscate. That's just gonna confuse people. Yeah, but that's the point. What if we tell the truth, a version of the truth-- the Green Arrow is a good guy, and I gave him the benefit of the doubt? You know what? It worked on Pike. I'll tell the vultures you're gonna be making a statement. Ok. Do you want me to write you a draft? No. I'll write it. I need you to handle something for me. Ok. You need to make things right with Susan. Ollie-- You got her fired under false pretenses, Thea. Only because I was trying to protect you, which is what I am doing now. Yes, Adrian? Mr. Mayor. What's this? My letter of resignation in which I take sole responsibility for the cover-up. No. The cover-up was my idea. I approved it. I'm the mayor. And if this impeachment proceeding goes the way that I think it will, not for long. Arrow 5x15 Fighting Fire With Fire The council has broad powers to run impeachment hearings as it sees fit, calls its own witnesses, enters its own evidence. They take a vote. Majority rules. But Oliver can't defend himself? It's not a criminal trial. The council needs a pound of flesh, and I'm volunteering. - And I've already said no. - Yeah. I'm persistent. I have a better idea. Be my lawyer at the hearings. Mr. Mayor-- it's Oliver, and I'm not your boss anymore. I'm your client. [Gun cocks] I have many reasons for killing Anatoly. Biggest is his poisoning Bratva with American scum. [Approaching footsteps] Spross dopross. Fine. What? Take them. What did you do? Extend our lives by length of good movie. Ah. Ohh All right, lady. Do you thing. [Beep] That was not your thing. Boss is getting impeached, and you're down here playing marbles? Actually, this was your idea. You're the one who encouraged me to lean into the strengths of my tech. Remember? - Uh-uh, uh-uh. - You said that. We were walking down the alley, you were like, "lean into your strengths. " You literally said that. Anyway, these are two inventions of mine-- two autonomous mini drones, one with offensive and the other with defensive capabilities. So, what, you can't handle yourself on the field. You got to give yourself a pair of balls? That was--that was too harsh, wasn't it? You think? Yeah. It was, um, but you know what? You recognized it. Yeah, because I'm--I'm-- - I'm trying to work on it. - That's progress. Anyway, Paul's big problem with me being Mr. Terrific was the fact that he was worried, but now he doesn't have to worry with these bad boys in my arsenal. Sounds like you got the emotional logic all figured out. I do. Now if I can just get these damn things to work. Bethany: News of the cover-up sent shockwaves through city hall, forcing councilmembers into enacting a rarely used impeachment clause. Mayor Oliver Queen's administration might be over. That woman never reports good news. It'll work out. Just waiting for my opening. There's that optimism again. Chase is representing me, so I'm gonna beat this. How are we doing with the data pull from Prometheus' mother's house? The sniffer pulled about a petabyte worth of data. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, but I am working on it. Good. Uh, there's something else that I could use your help with. - Ok. - Susan Williams. - Oh. - She's not returning my calls. Am I really the best person to come to for love-life advice? Well, she's not returning my calls since you and Thea got her fired. Well, in my defense, I didn't know that was gonna be Thea's play. I know, but I still need your help because Thea is not budging. Look. I know how severely problematic what I'm about to say is, but Susan is your girlfriend, so if anyone is going to fix it, I think it has to be you. I'm trying, but, like I said, she's not returning my calls, and you may have noticed I'm sort of facing an impeachment this week. Ok. Yeah. I'll do my best. - Thank you very much. - Mm-hmm. Um, for what it's worth-- and everything I know about politics I got from "keepin' it 1600," but I do think you're gonna beat this thing. What makes you so sure? To Star City, Mayor Oliver Queen is a hero. Bang. This marks only the second time in the 140-year history of this city that a mayor has faced impeachment. In 1898, Mayor Prescott was removed from office. We'll see what fate awaits Oliver Queen, who's stepping into the building now. Hey, I'll catch you up there, all right? - Hi, Susan. - Sorry. Busy reporting for my new blog. I'm sorry. I've been try-- My first entry will be how you never took this job seriously. As mayor, you just phoned it in. You'll only ever be that other guy, but, of course, I can't write that because no one will believe me now that you trashed my credibility. I had nothing to do with that, but I am working to make it right. Whatever. You deserve today. So what do you think Oliver's chances are? [Gavel bangs] Come to order. We're about to find out. We recently learned that Detective William Malone was murdered by the vigilante known as the Green Arrow. It appears that the mayor knew some time ago and actively worked to hide the fact, even from the SCPD. Today the council considers two grave questions-- did Oliver Queen's actions violate the oath he took faithfully to serve Star City, and should he therefore be removed as mayor? - Hell to the no. - What he said. [Cell phone rings] It's Paul. Should I take it? I'm not gonna take it. Maybe I should take it. No. No. Ok. I'll take it. Hey. . This is so completely unfair. Yeah. That seems to be going around lately. So you got Oliver's girlfriend fired? He told you? Of course he told you. Well, did he also tell you it was a mistake, - I mean, on my part, at least? - Felicity-- I'm putting the toothpaste back in the tube, ok? - And how is that going? - Well-- Felicity, what's going on with you? - What do you mean? - This week, it was Oliver's girlfriend. Last month, he tells me you're getting involved in some stuff -you shouldn't be involved in. -Well, that is a matter of perspective, considering that that "stuff" helped get you out of prison and General Walker's gun sights. What are you talking about? - Pandora? - It's a data cache compiled by a group of hacktivists called Helix. They collected electronic dirt on literally billions of people, including General Walker, so when I asked for it to get you off, they-- it's a bad choice of words-- they--they gave me the whole package. And you're still in bed with these people? What? You make it sound like it's a bad thing. I mean, Pandora's just a tool. Sounds to me like this could be a weapon. Ok, and is there a problem if it is? - It depends, Felicity. - On what? On how you use it. My autopsy showed that mortal injury on the deceased was consistent with the edging of the arrow heads used by the Green Arrow. I have here your original cause-of-death report, in which you conclude that the Green Arrow killed Malone, but this report, it was never included in the case file. Why is that? The D. A. came to me, and-- You're referring to Adrian Chase? That's correct. He instructed me to revise the report to indicate that the Throwing Star Killer was responsible. This report, and you went ahead and signed it, even though you knew it was fake and then passed it along to the police. - Is that the case? - Yes. Why? Did Mr. Chase threaten you? He didn't have to. He said the request came from the mayor himself. [People murmur] - The mayor? - Yes. He told me the Green Arrow killed Detective Malone. Did mayor Queen say why? He said the Throwing Star Killer, a man we'd been calling Prometheus, manipulated him. Pollard: Did he say why this Prometheus would want to orchestrate Detective Malone's murder? No. Standing here today, do you believe what Mr. Queen has told you? [Camera shutter clicks] Honestly, I'm not sure. He's clearly been determined to protect the Green Arrow for his own purposes. I think the question here is why. [Reporters clamoring] Who's most in our corner? Pollard, believe it or not. That's not surprising. She can't call in the marker I owe her for helping with gun reform if I'm impeached. I'll touch base with her, see if I can get her to call you to testify in your own defense, ok? Uh, ok. Well, I-- I have a very political idea. I'm listening. Thea: Like Adrian said, the council needs somebody thrown to the wolves, and I think it should be Malone. - Thea. - What? Half the SCPD is corrupt, so it's not hard to believe, and he's no longer with us, so he wouldn't really mind. That way, the cover-up is no longer about the Green Arrow. It becomes about protecting Malone's reputation for the sake of his family. Now you're gonna destroy his reputation. No. - But, Oliie-- - Thea, it's not even a question. Ok. How do we think the council's gonna vote? It's, uh--it's a pretty even split with Kullens as the swing vote. Hold on! [Crash] My target's the mayor and his corruption. He surrenders, I'll let the rest of you live. Good man. [Canary cry] Oh! Uh! Good woman. Hey, hey, get to safety. Get to safety. Quentin, the driver. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I'm on it. Uhh Unh! [Approaching sirens] You want me? Come on! [Tires screech] Lucky you. You get one more day. [Police radio chatter] Ahem. Ok. All right. Look. I appreciate what you're doing, but I'm fine. Mr. Mayor, all due respect, your head's bleeding, and our concussion protocol's even stricter than the NFL's. Well, I'm the mayor, so I'm suspending it. The, uh--the driver, he's ok. He took a hit on the shoulder, and he's got a bump on the head, but he's fine, and before you ask, he didn't see you turn all Bruce Lee back there. Where's Dinah? She's doing her job, working the scene. All right. I got to get to the bunker. - I--oh, boy. - Easy, all right? He knows the concussion protocol, right? Yeah, so I've heard. - This was vigilante. - Yeah. Apparently because of the impeachment hearing, I'm a criminal. You ok? Oh, never felt better. Hey, so I made sure the Unis keep all the press behind the cordon. Trust me, you don't want them snapping shots of you in an ambulance. Yeah, no ambulance, but I'm tougher than I look. I'm gonna get back to the office. Where have I heard that before? Hey, look. While under the threat of the impeachment, you can't exactly amend bylaws, so that concussion protocol, yeah, it's a thing. Thea: It's-- it's ok, Ollie. I can--I can go back to the office and tell everyone we're gonna be working overtime, plus I'm never getting into a limo with you again. Oliver is on his way to Starling General, but--don't worry-- he'll be fine. We heard shots were fired on the motorcade. Yeah, flipped our limo in the air. - Cool. - Not cool. More like ow, and Oliver might be concussed, but in the meantime, there's still the vigilante out there. Ok. Rene and I are gonna hit the street, see if we can't muscle the vigilante's whereabouts out of some people. Curtis, let's check the keyhole satellite and CC thermal cams. Actually, hold on. I--I need a favor. If this is about Susan Williams, I'm already on it. No. It's--it's about the impeachment. You said that Pandora has dirt on a lot of people, right? Well, yeah, if by a lot of people, you mean everybody, then yeah. What about councilman Kullens? Last time I checked, he's part of everybody. Why? - You know why. - Oh. Oh! You want to blackmail him? Oh, it's not blackmail. It's politics. Come here. Bethany: In the wake of the attack, councilman Kullens has called a brief recess to the impeachment hearings. If the mayor is medically cleared, the council will vote tomorrow. Ok. Oh, sounds like you need a note from your doctor, Mr. Mayor. This is ridiculous. I know what a real injury feels like. I can only imagine, given your other job, and--you're right-- your CAT scan is clear. - Good. - Ah, ah, ah, not so fast. Look. I can't discharge you without a few more hours of observation. Dr. Schwartz-- People can withstand only so much strain, and being both mayor and him, it's unsustainable. I assure you, my body can handle it. I'm not talking about your body, Mr. Queen. I'm talking about this. The mind needs rest or at least someone to take your thoughts off all the evil you face each day. Dr. Schwartz, are you prescribing me a girlfriend? Or just a friend. [Phone line ringing] Susan: You've reached Susan. Can't come to the-- "Spross dopross"? "Demand an exam"? Yeah. It rhyme better in Russian. Spross dopross is Bratva way to call Pakhan to account for actions. Captains will listen. Maybe Pakhan will lose position. That's good news. That's g-- that means we can overthrow Gregor without a fight. Uh-uh. No. Everybody knows about Gregor's deal with Kovar. No. We still end up dead. Men who call vote are killed if Pakhan keeps position. Anatoly, why bother? I did not want to die in hospital basement. That'sFair. Look. All we have to do is find evidence that Gregor's deal with Kovar benefits him and not the Bratva. Yes, but where are we going to find that? I have to go. Code says you have one hour to finalize personal affairs before spross dopross I can do that. But you must have captain with you who is not me. I'll lose him. Really good at losing people. [Distant siren] I got bullet fragments and cases coming out of my ass but nothing new. All right. I'll catch you back downtown. [Police radio chatter] - Anything? - Nada. Peeps on the street are actually more afraid of the vigilante than us. What about you? Vigilante changes artillery supplier every week. Every lead goes cold. Could really use a break right about now. [Beep beep] Dinah: I think I've got something. Yes. I totally manifested that. What do you got? When my Sonic cry hit vigilante, it knocked off a small piece of his visor. Looks like it's lined with some kind of circuitry. Well, that means, it's manufactured. Maybe I can link it back to where he bought it from. I think I can do you one better. My T-spheres can actually track the tech to the individual user. Except it won't be ready till the iPhone 16 is released. Ye of little faith. - What's a T-sphere? - Curtis' balls. Curtis: They're something really fascinating of my own personal invention. I realized that quantum computation could be used to harness the-- Ok. Look. Forget I asked. Dinah: I'll bring you guys the visor, ok? Copy that. We're here. Curtis, this is on you now. Challenge accepted. Hey, seriously, man, what's up with your balls? I mean, you were literally gonna throw those things in the trash. Paul called, asked me to dinner, like a date, like I'm gonna get my man back. I told you, Hoss, some piece of tech ain't gonna-- Look. I know Paul. He wouldn't be asking me to go out to dinner if he wasn't ready to reconcile. Personal call? Uh, yeah. I had a-- a family emergency. - I'm sorry. - Don't be. Family's important. Hey, uh, why don't I log that in for you so you can handle your emergency? - Uh - Don't worry. I'll take good care of this, and, uh, I hope everything is ok with your family. [Panting] [Whoosh] - Huh! - Oliver Queen is mine. Not if I kill him first. [Whoosh] Aah! Yes. I'd like to report a sighting of vigilante. This is District Attorney Chase. [Beep beep] [Typing] John: Hey, Oliver's out of the hospital, headed to city hall. Any word from Dinah? Um, she's at the precinct trying to recover that piece of vigilante's visor. What about you, Felicity? And don't tell me that it's traffic cams. We both know they're on auto pilot. I sent Thea something to sway councilman Kullens. Apparently, he's the swing vote on Oliver's impeachment. Pandora. Officially, his wife died in a car crash. Unofficially, she crashed the car on purpose. Suicide. He used his clout to cover it up, so I'm guessing he's not gonna want it uncovered. And you are ok with this, right? I think the city needs Oliver to keep being mayor. Felicity, Kullens is not a criminal. - He's a human being - He's a politician. It's hardly the same thing. A human being that went through a very tragic accident, a very private one. Come on. This isn't you. Well, it pretty much is. Ok. Do you know what your super power is? Computers? Empathy--big, reflexive, pure empathy. Well, maybe I'm fresh out. Because of Billy. It's a dark world, and for the past 4 years, I have watched you and Oliver and Laurel and Thea and Roy. I have watched all of you use a little darkness to fight it. That's true. Sometimes we do fight fire with fire, but every time we do, Felicity, every single time, we risk being burned. Some days, I can't help but feel as if the city wants to collapse in on itself and all we're doing is delaying the inevitable. No. We're preventing it. We're the good guys. Don't you forget that, Pike. It's whac-a-mole. We got Prometheus, the vigilante, and the one wild card I thought maybe might be on our side just murdered a cop. Nah. The Green Arrow got played. I don't know. What I do know is, the next mayor owes me a raise. Yeah. I'll put in a word with Mayor Queen. He's not impeached yet. [Typing] Please tell me you didn't send it. [Sighs] This thing with Kullens' wife, he doesn't deserve that. Felicity told you, didn't she? Thea. I haven't sent the e-mail, ok? Ollie, don't look at me like that. It's politics. There's about to be a vote, so it's time to play hardball. This isn't hardball. This is cruel. What would be cruel is the people of the city not having you as the mayor. The Anti-Crime unit, low-income housing, common-sense gun legislation-- Ollie, in the short amount of time you've been doing this, you've done a remarkable job. Please just let me do what I have to do to help you keep doing that. Felicity told me about this Kullens thing because of something that John said to her. Thea, when you fight fire with fire, you are probably gonna get burned. I won't. It'll be fine. Like it was with Susan? You destroyed her career. Now you've graduated to blackmail. Where does it stop? [Alarm siren] [Beeping] Magic hands. The magnetic resonance frequencies within vigilante's tech are now communicating with my T-spheres. John: Great, so what does it mean? Can we catch the vigilante or not? Well, cross your fingers and your toes. Felicity: It's working. The T-sphere is picking up on the signal from the piece of visor. Yeah, but the other one is still wonky. Curtis: No, no. It--it's not. It's actually tracking the rest of the visor. So let's take down this S. O. B. Without Oliver? If vigilante gets to him, we'll be doing this without Oliver permanently. - Let's suit up. - Suit up. Oh, sorry. I thought, um-- I thought since Oliver's gone, I would probably--but it makes more sense probably for you-- I'll make sure I work on the timing of that, promise. - Balls. - Oh, my T-sphere-- oh, don't call them balls. You speak with Pollard? She won't call you to testify without Kullens' blessing We're not gonna get that. And the council hearing directly from you is only one of two ways I can see us winning this thing. - What's the second way? - You won't like it. Does it involve offering up a sacrificial lamb? Either me or Detective Malone. Oliver, this impeachment is about punishing someone, and if you don't offer up a name, this will be the last time you're looking out that window. If the council's not gonna let me testify at the hearing, then I need to take my case directly to the public. - A press conference? - Yeah. Mind filling me in on who you're throwing under the bus? The Green Arrow. [Indistinct chatter] [Tires screech] Right here [Tires screech] AndStop. - We--we got him? - Uh, think so. - Oh, this is bad. - Why's that? The building that you just stopped in front of, well, city hall is located directly behind it, offering perfect line of sight to where Oliver's giving his speech. It's the vigilante's book depository. Felicity, we need you to check the blueprints. Felicity: Yeah, already on it. Ok. The sixth floor is under renovation. - Dollars to doughnuts-- - That's where he'll be. [Whoosh] Unh! [Cell phone rings] Yep? I'm listening. All right. Copy that. Vigilante is across the street, sixth floor. He's gonna take you out as soon as you walk outside into the open. Is the team on site? Yeah. Then it'll be fine. [Beeping] Evening, everyone. I'd like to thank the city council for conducting these hearings with honesty and integrity. Simply wish that I could have done the same with regards to the Green Arrow's murder of Detective William Malone. - Terrific, where is he? - This way, this way. [Gun cocks] Get down! - Ha ha ha! - What's so funny? Think I just found a new use for my T-sphere. Your what? Agh! When I took the oath of office, I promised to be honest and forthright. I never wanted to be a politician who relied on dirty politics or underhanded tactics. Rene: Oh, now that's what I'm talking about. Oh, no. [Machine gun fire] And in the spirit of that transparency, I think I owe everyone an explanation as to why I covered up what the Green Arrow did. [Bullets ricocheting] Agh! I did it in a misguided attempt to protect everyone from the tragic news that the Green Arrow had become a cop killer, that a man we had put our faith in had failed this city, and I didn't think we could afford to lose another hero. Curtis: Hey, vigilante, I've got two of these. Nice aim. That's the thing. They aim themselves. Rene: Hoss. Hoss. Aagh! Yo, Hoss, that was badass. That mean no more ball jokes? Hell, no. Uh! Ah! Ah! Remind me to thank Cisco for that upgraded Kevlar. You guys all right? Yeah, but what about Oliver? But the truth is more important, and the truth is that the Green Arrow has gone rogue. We must disavow him. We must hunt him and punish him for what he has done. Green Arrow's not a hero. He is what's keeping Star City from being the best that it can be. Thank you very much. [Knock on door] They're still deliberating. Oh, that's taking longer than I thought. Yeah. Well, you gave them plenty to think about. So how's it feel, huh, making yourself into a villain like that? Susan Williams is here. - You want me to say you're busy? - No. No. I'd like to tell the truth for the rest of the day if at all possible. - Please send her in. - All right. Susan, please come in. Glad you're here. Susan, I'm very sorry. I got my job back. An anonymous hacker confessed that the plagiarism story was fake, said they were just messing with us. - My boss apologized. - Well, that's good news. Still, though, I'm really sorry. Are you? What I mean is, you didn't know about this beforehand, did you? No. I had no idea. Once you did, you made them make it right, right? - Are we off the record? - Yes. - Yeah. - Thank you. So what happens next? You mean, uh, what do I do with your secret? I keep it. I care about the city, and-- and you're working double time to make it a better place. I do appreciate that, but I meant what happens next with us? [Knock on door] Uh, sorry to interrupt, but I think you'll be happy that we did. Council voted against impeachment. Heh. Heh. Thank you so much, Adrian. I could not have done this without you. Are you kidding me? No thanks needed. You're not just my boss, Oliver. You're my friend. I'm gonna go give Thea the good news. - I'll be right back. - Ok. Oliver: Hey [Knocks on door] No need to pack up. We won, both get to keep our jobs. Yeah, not-- not both of us. Look, Ollie. You--you were right. I--I am getting deeper and deeper into the muck lately, and it's like my bloodlust last year, except instead of arrows and swords, I've replaced it with politics and slander, so I'm-- That doesn't mean that you have to quit, Thea. - I need you here. - Ollie, please. Please don't ask me to stay because I will. I will for you, but I am broken, ok? I--I need you to let me go. Let me go so I can try to fix myself. Well, uh Your resignation's accepted. Thank you. [Sighs] My resignation letter's on the desk. When I signal, you must align with Anatoly, who calls spross dopross, or Gregor our incumbent Pakhan. Now, let's get this over with quickly. Hey, stop. Mr. Queen, you do not have floor. Just give me 10 seconds. Listen to what I have to say. If you don't like it, shoot me. As you wish. [Click] This laptop contains 80 million rubles in transfers from Kovar's accounts into accounts that Gregor controls. Yes. We know this, to spread among Bratva captains. It also contains 40 million rubles worth of bank transfers from Kovar that Gregor hasn't disclosed. Open it. Ask him if it's true. Is this true, Gregor? [Typing] 40 million rubles. So it's true. If anybody wishes to cast a new vote, please do so now. It seems that you are deciding vote, Viktor. What say you, my friend? We have a new Pakhan. This is most disappointing. I liked many of you. Council isn't impeaching, still the mayor. Rene: Yet the Green Arrow is public enemy number one. John: We've dealt with the police on our backs before. Dinah: Not like this. One of their own is dead. No. Dinah's right, and now we know just how much the police can interfere with our work here. Curtis: Um, can I go? Kind of getting back together with Paul. It's a big deal. Uh, can I leave? Can I-- Yes. Yes. Of course. Go. Have fun. Everyone should have fun tonight. Uh, just quickly, though-- might have buried the headline here-- you all saved my life, and 5 months ago, I never would have thought that was possible. Thank you for working hard. Thank you for banding together. - Thank you for-- - Sorry. I-- I mean, thank you for saying thank you-- wow, man to man, that means a lot-- but I'm really late to see Paul, so-- - Give Paul my best. - Thank you. - Good luck. - Good luck. Thank you. I'm sorry. Sorry. We were stopping an assassination. Can you believe I stopped an assassination? Ha! Wow. Ha! So, um, on the way over here, I rehearsed what I would say to you-- heh--how I would win you back, tell you I love you, and all I just started with was definitely not how I planned on opening. Can I start again? I'm gonna start again. - When I came over-- - It's nice to see you, Curtis. I mean that, as much as you're going to think that I don't. What? Are you divorcing me? I'm sorry. I really am. [Distant siren] - Felicity, hi. - G'ah! Hi. I am so glad you got in touch, though I am a little surprised. Yeah. Me, too. Well, "surprised" isn't exactly the right word to describe how I'm, um, feeling. What's the right word? Ready. A good friend of mine told me that if you're going to try to fight fire with fire, you're gonna get burned, but then another friend of mine came through something pretty scary tonight because he had backup, a team. You're accepting the invitation to join Helix. Yes, full throttle. Ha ha! [Beep beep] - Susan. - Oh, hey. I thought we could talk. - About? - An exclusive. Can we set up the meeting tomorrow. I'm late for a dinner. The thing is is that this story, it's important. You could call it life or death. Greg! Move your head.
