Helena: am I supposed to be grateful? He’s a monster /ˈmɒnstər/, a criminal /ˈkrɪmənl/. Why would you save him?

Oliver: I didn't save him. I saved you. You think that because you've killed, you understand what it’s like to have blood on your hands. You don't understand. You don't understand the toll¹ /toʊl/ that it takes on you, especially when it’s your father.

Helena: I’m not going to stop.

Oliver: the police have him in custody² /ˈkʌstədi/. He’s going to jail and then on to prison.

Helena: they don't have any evidence on him.

Oliver: they do now.

Helena: the laptop.

Oliver: he’s going away, Helena, for the rest of his life. This…is justice.

Helena: then I guess you were right. I’m more interested in revenge³. Stay out of my way, Oliver, or I will make sure your secret doesn't stay secret.

Oliver: Helena, what I did, everything that I've done, I've done because I care about you.

Helena: too bad I can’t say the same.
