Quotes 

• John Diggle : You called me dad.

  Connor Hawke : You adopted me. Remember? It's Connor.

  John Diggle : No. No, I-I- I haven't

  William Clayton : He hasn't because he hasn't yet.

  Connor Hawke : Look. What are you talking about?

  William Clayton : We're in the past.

  Mia Smoak : That is insane.

  William Clayton : Look at this place. It's new, and them! No gray hair, no wrinkles, and we're staring at our dad alive instead at his tombstone. I'm sorry. What year is this?

  Oliver Queen : Uh, it's 2019. What year is it supposed to be?

  William Clayton : 2040.

• Curtis Holt : So, Grant is trying to one-up his father. Siege version 2.0 is tonight, and this time, Mirakuru's out and coordinated bomb attacks are in.

  Oliver Queen : How many?

  Laurel Lance : Lots. And Grant has them all connected to a remote detonator. Probably a phone.

  Curtis Holt : The good news is, and I use that term very loosely, uh, is that he set up a relay device underneath downtown.

  Dinah Drake : So we disable the relay device, we turn off the bomb.

  Mia Smoak : Okay, what about Grant?

  Connor Hawke : He's holed up underground, but the lines converge at Water Street.

  Oliver Queen : History repeats itself.

  John Diggle : Well, maybe we can stop the attack by running the same play we ran last time.

  Rene Ramirez : [entering]  No. Someone told me the only way to change the future is to start doing things differently now.

  John Diggle : Rene, look...

  Rene Ramirez : John, we're good. You, too, Connor. I can't be mad at either of you for something I will never let happen.

• Connor Hawke : This is my fault. I'm sorry. I should have told you sooner.

  John Diggle : Then tell me now, Connor! Everything.

  Connor Hawke : When you took me in, I was angry and rebellious, but you... you refused to give up on me. Man, you straightened me out, made me who I am; a soldier just like you. But JJ, he... he resented it. You know, it was like I had stole the love that should have been his. Maybe if I had been a better son, JJ never would have broken bad and Zoe would still be alive. Dad, please say something.

  John Diggle : Dad? Connor, since the moment you got here, you have done nothing but lie to me, to all of us. What do you want me to say?

• Dinah Drake : Why would Grant give us advanced warning? It seems too easy.

  Connor Hawke : That's because it is. Look, Grant may be planning an attack, but it won't be on the rich. The video's a mislead. This kind of deception is a Deathstroke specialty.

  Oliver Queen : How do you know that?

  Connor Hawke : I was undercover with them for a while. A last-ditch attempt to get through to JJ.

  Oliver Queen : Okay, so if this is a bait and switch, what's the switch? What do you think Grant's planning?

  Connor Hawke : Something a whole lot bigger. I just don't know what exactly. Everything happening with the Deathstrokes is... different now.
