Star City 2040 (2019)

Emily Bett Rickards: Felicity Smoak

Quotes 

• Rene Ramirez : Dale plans to pin the blame on a vigilante. I'm guessing that's why they were keeping Felicity.

  Adult Zoe Ramirez : I can't say I'm surprised. What opened your eyes all of a sudden?

  Rene Ramirez : Someone with impeccable genetics reminded me of who I used to be.

  Mia Smoak : And why should we believe you? Aren't you the evil mayor who's been trying to destroy Star City?

  Rene Ramirez : And who are you?

  Felicity Smoak : This is Mia. These are mine and Oliver's impeccable genetics.

  Rene Ramirez : You and Oliver have a kid?

  Felicity Smoak : Surprise.

• Oliver Queen : [as Felicity gives birth]  I love you so much.

  Felicity Smoak : I love you so much. I'll love you even more when this baby's out of me.

• Felicity Smoak : Hey, I was thinking a vintage movie night. A Jordan Peele marathon.

  Mia Smoak : [indifferent]  Yeah. Sure.

  Felicity Smoak : Hand over that cheese.

• Felicity Smoak : Was my message not clear? I wanted you both out of Star City, not to come to the Glades.

  Mia Smoak : Wow, really? No "Hey, kids. Thanks for the rescue"?

  Felicity Smoak : Those coordinates were not supposed to lead you to me; they are the coordinates of a stockpile of bombs hidden in this building. That's why I told you to give them them to Roy and Dinah.

  Adult William Clayton : Well, since we're here, would it be okay if we got you out of there?

• Adult Zoe Ramirez : There's someone coming.

  Mia Smoak : [entering with Connor]  So, what'd we miss?

  Felicity Smoak : You came back.

  Mia Smoak : Don't make a big thing of it.

• Mia Smoak : You know, when I first left home, I was so mad at you. I learned everything I could about vigilantes. I-I dug up old news stories about how they destroyed Star City. But I was convinced... I was convinced it was true. That you had lied to me my entire childhood. Your... your stories of the heroism of Team Arrow, because you didn't want me to think badly about you, or about dad. I spent these last years hating vigilantes because I hated you.

  Felicity Smoak : Well, I don't blame you.

  Mia Smoak : I understand why you wanted to lie to me; to protect me. I can't even imagine what it was like having an entire city turn on you, and turn on dad.

  Felicity Smoak : Mia, you are so much like your father. Out on the field, so badass. I'm so proud of you.

• Mia Smoak : Mom, there's, um... there seemed like there was something really personal about you stopping Galaxy. Is that about dad?

  Felicity Smoak : No, it's not. That one is on me.

  [flashback to 2019] 

  Felicity Smoak : Holy crap. Did that work? Here goes nothing. Archer, are you online?

  [after a moment of silence, the AI responds "yes"] 

  Felicity Smoak : Holy sh...!

• Connor Hawke : OK, now that we are all caught up, what times do the bombs go off, and how do we stop them?

  Rene Ramirez : They're set to go off during the fireworks in exactly 38 minutes.

  Dinah Drake : Even if we knew where the bombs were, that's not enough time to climb over that wall and stop this.

  Felicity Smoak : There is another way. The bombs are linked by a Li-Fi, which means there's an exterior power source.

  Adult William Clayton : You're talking about a unified connectivity device.

  Felicity Smoak : Yes.

  Adult William Clayton : It's like the brain of the bombs.

  Mia Smoak : Oh, good. Now there are two of you.

  Roy Harper : So wait. We're just supposed to break into some server room so you guys can hack it?

  Adult Zoe Ramirez : "Server room"! How 2019.

• Felicity Smoak : How is Mrs. Carver?

  Mia Smoak : Uh, the usual. She's had to tell me everyone else's business in town, and she's trying to set me up with her son.

  Felicity Smoak : Henry?

  Mia Smoak : No. The older one.

  Felicity Smoak : Oh, "Cowardly Lion" Seth?

  Mia Smoak : Isn't he more Scarecrow, though? No brains?

  Felicity Smoak : Either way, not for you.

• Mia Smoak : Where were you?

  Felicity Smoak : Well, I was on the phone. A meeting with Smoak Tech.

  Mia Smoak : Have you ever thought about, you know, actually going in to work? We could get out of Bloomfield, go to the city. I could go with you.

  Felicity Smoak : Oh, you know the city's not safe for us. If anyone ever found out who your father is or who you are...

  Mia Smoak : Right. Right. But I... I know how much you love that company. And I know how to protect myself. You made sure of that.

  Felicity Smoak : I sure did.

  Mia Smoak : So if dad's as big a hero as you say, then why can't we just tell everyone that?

  Felicity Smoak : It's not that simple, Mia. You just have to trust me on that. I'm sorry.

• Felicity Smoak : Mia, what are you doing?

  Mia Smoak : What am I doing? What are you doing with all this?

  Felicity Smoak : Uh, I can explain in just one second.

  [disabling the alarm] 

  Felicity Smoak : This is just a little something that I've been working on on the side.

  Mia Smoak : For Smoak Tech?

  Felicity Smoak : No, not exactly.

• Felicity Smoak : There is a corrupt company in the Glades that I am this close to exposing.

  Mia Smoak : You're hacking again. Like Overwatch.

  Felicity Smoak : Oh, well, no, Overwatch was part of a team, right? Team Arrow. And... and this is solo. So no team, no complications.

  Mia Smoak : You're a vigilante.

  Felicity Smoak : No, not exactly. Technically, yes, by definition...

  Mia Smoak : How long have you been hiding this from me?

  Felicity Smoak : Mia.

  Mia Smoak : How long?

  Felicity Smoak : Mia, I can explain.

  Mia Smoak : You realize I-I haven't left this town ever? I didn't get to go to school like a normal kid. I haven't even been to a real city.

• Mia Smoak : You told me that we had to hide here because dad was the Green Arrow.

  Felicity Smoak : That's true.

  Mia Smoak : And now I find out that you've been doing the exact same thing the entire time.

  Felicity Smoak : No, your father and I promised each other that we would keep fighting for the city to make the city better for you and for... for our family. I can't sit back and do nothing, Mia.

  Mia Smoak : And yet that's exactly what you're telling me to do.

  Felicity Smoak : [Mia moves to leave]  No, I'm not. Mia, this is different.

  Mia Smoak : Is it?

  Felicity Smoak : Yes.

  Mia Smoak : Because I'm starting to believe what everyone else says, that... vigilantes are the opposite of heroes.

  Felicity Smoak : That is just propaganda...

  Mia Smoak : Oh, says you. And why should I believe anything you say again?

  Felicity Smoak : [hurt]  Mia.

  Mia Smoak : You've been lying to me my whole life. I don't even know who you are.

• Felicity Smoak : Mia.

  Mia Smoak : Mom.

  Adult William Clayton : You are alive.

  Felicity Smoak : I told you not to come.

• Felicity Smoak : It's so good to see you.

  Adult William Clayton : [hugging her]  I never thought I'd see you again.

  Felicity Smoak : Oh, I was afraid you wouldn't want to, after everything. I'm so sorry, William.

  Connor Hawke : Okay, hey, not to interrupt, but we've really got to get out of here before someone realizes what we did to those guards.

• Felicity Smoak : I can't leave until I disable the bombs.

  Mia Smoak : You just got out of danger, and you want to go running back into it? Typical. You would rather go play hero than do what's best for your daughter.

  Felicity Smoak : Mia.

  Adult William Clayton : Mia, come on.

  Mia Smoak : Stay out of it. For once in your life, mom, put your family first.

• Felicity Smoak : Being a hero, Mia, means choosing other people's safety above your own, including your family. That's why I hid my work from you, so that I could protect you from having to make difficult decisions like these.

  Mia Smoak : You should've just been honest with me from the beginning.

  Felicity Smoak : You were right. I am so sorry. Being a hero is my purpose. I can't leave.

  Adult William Clayton : Then I want to help.

  Mia Smoak : [Felicity nods]  Seriously?

  Adult William Clayton : I'm sorry, but she's right. Where to?

• Adult William Clayton : [leaving Mia]  You okay?

  Felicity Smoak : Yes, I am used to being a disappointment to her.

• Felicity Smoak : The explosives are being stored in the east end of the building. Are there any guards in our way?

  Adult William Clayton : Uh, the coast looks clear, except for... three heat signatures headed straight towards us.

  Felicity Smoak : They should be right on top of us.

  [Zoe, Dinah, and Roy drop down from the ceiling] 

  Felicity Smoak : Zoe?

  Adult Zoe Ramirez : You found her.

• Dinah Drake : It is so good to see you alive.

  [hugging] 

  Dinah Drake : You could've told us we were on the same side.

  Felicity Smoak : To infiltrate Eden Corps, I had to be the Calculator. It was the only way.

  Roy Harper : Looks like your plan worked out a little too well.

  Felicity Smoak : Well, I'm glad my old team came to the rescue. Thank you for helping William.

• Dinah Drake : What the hell? Where are the bombs?

  Rene Ramirez : [behind them]  They're already on site.

  Adult Zoe Ramirez : Dad. What are you doing here?

  Rene Ramirez : [seeing Felicity]  You are alive.

  Felicity Smoak : No thanks to you. Or your friend Kevin Dale.

  Rene Ramirez : You were right. You all were right. The attack on Star City is happening tonight, and there is zero plan to evacuate.
