.006 - here's a billionaire brat

Really, if you're from Starling City, you know who I am and if you don't, then I don't really want to talk to you.

Sorry.

[Private to Alex]

Get me off this boat.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I asked you first.

[It's difficult to tell if she's more frustrated or hurt by the comeback; as evident by the circles beneath her eyes...the lack of makeup...the way her hair falls limply over her shoulders...she hasn't slept very well for quite some time.]

You know where I am, Oliver. And you know why.

Rubbing it in further isn't going to help things any.

Mom I--

I haven't seen you since Christmas I don't know what's going on.

[Her eyes narrow slightly.]

Christmas?

If this is some sort of revenge joke....

[But she trails off. Hand rising to briefly pinch at the bridge of her nose. No. He wasn't joking. She could tell, even though her haze of exhaustion. Even though that made even less sense.]

Oliver, what's going on? You and Thea were still at the house when I was taken into custody. I was promised you two wouldn't be held responsible for my actions in any way.

Where are you?

You could also say that I'm in custody.

[Her face pales]

No.

I told them you had nothing to do with it. I swear.

It's not for that.

Why would you do that, Mom?

[Having to explain things was hard enough the first time. The pain didn't lessen any now.]

I had no choice.

You know I would never willingly go along with something so horrible. It was...Malcolm. He planned the whole thing. Your father...Walter...everything.

[Her voice wavered at the thought of the two men she had loved and lost. Of what this had done to Oliver. The time he'd lost as well.]

Please believe me, you know I never wanted any of this to happen.

Walter? What happens to Walter?

[That is what he's focusing on right now.]

[She shakes her head. No, she can't go through that again.]

It...doesn't matter now.

He's fine. He's safe.

['He's leaving me. And he has every right to.']

Mom.

[She hates it when you take that tone with her, mister.]

He was...kidnapped.

Missing for months. The authorities at one point thought he might've been dead.

Did you do that too?

[Ouch]

Of course not. I tried to get him back.

Who took him?

I told you. It was Malcolm. It was all Malcolm.

He would've stopped at nothing to destroy the Glades.

Malcolm took one of your husbands and murdered the other and you want me to believe you had no choice but to let it happen?

[He doesn't say, 'and made me lost five years of my life' but he thinks it really hard?]

That's right.

[She knows the excuse sounds weak. She's the one it happened to, and it sounded weak even to her. But it was the Truth, which was all she had left.]

He would've gone after you and Thea next. There was nothing I could've done until I finally stepped up and made the press conference calling him out, after Walter had been rescued.

[By the Hood, of all people]

You could have called him out when Dad died. [But no, she went along with it for five years, and he feels betrayed because she let him go through hell on that island too.]

I still had your sister to think of. She was too young. [She's still too young, in Moira's eyes. But she's legal now. Capable of taking care of herself.] I couldn't let Malcolm hurt her, too.

I'd find that a lot more compelling if you hadn't just basically admitted to letting him murder Dad.

I didn't let him do anything.

You think I would have allowed you go along with your father if I'd known I'd be sentencing you both to death? You think I would have allowed you bring along someone else?

I don't know what to think anymore.

Frankly, Oliver, neither do I. Even when I tried to do the right thing, it still wasn't enough.

Tell me you're okay, at least. Wherever you are...you're going to be okay.

[Normally he'd lie but he wants her to hurt like he's hurting right now.]

I'm a prisoner on some ship, what do you think?
