DM Distant man
[Dinah Lance walks into apartment complex coming across Cassandra sitting on steps looking dejected]
You're the one who wanted the kid! I never wanted her!
Dinah Lance Let me guess. Parents?
Dinah Lance Right. Sorry, kid.
Sorry about your face. Shit, you do have something on your face.
Dinah Lance You should've seen the other guy. Uh...
DM Distant man
I want that kid out of my **** house!
Dinah Lance You know, kid, not every day is gonna be like this. You just gotta hang in there. [Puts dollar bill on stairway railing post] Get something to eat. Stay outta that. It's not worth it.
DM Distant man
Don't talk to me like that!
...
Canary spends the next week settling in to her new job as Roman's personal driver.
[Walks to vehicle in fish market]
Ew. Okay.
What she didn't know is that driving Mr. Face-peely-pants was gonna put her right in the crosshairs of my favorite little piggy.

RM Renee Montoya
[Approaches Dinah leaving apartment]
Dinah Lance?
Dinah Lance Who the hell are you?
RM Renee Montoya
I'm Renee Montoya, detective with GCPD. Your predecessor and I had an arrangement.
Dinah Lance Oh, really?
RM Renee Montoya
He told me that there was a shipment coming in. A diamond. A very special diamond.
Dinah Lance Yeah, not interested, lady. Thanks for the coffee. [Starts walking down hallway]
RM Renee Montoya
Do you know who you're working for?
Dinah Lance Damn right, I do. He's the man who gave me a job. Took me off the streets. [Starts walking down stairs]
RM Renee Montoya
Yeah, well, he's also a very dangerous man. A criminal. A murderer. What would your mother think of you working for a guy like that, huh? You have the same power she had. Don't you think she would want you to use it?
Dinah Lance [Turns and walks back up stairs]
The hell do you know about my mother?
RM Renee Montoya
Back in the day, she used to help the GCPD. She was a good woman.
Dinah Lance Yeah. She was a damn good woman. The kind of woman who put everyone else's lives before her own. And when she was found dead in the street, where the **** were you and your boys in blue then? Now you wanna come and knock on my door and ask me to help you out and make the same mistake she did? Yeah. Good luck with that.
RM Renee Montoya
That's fair enough. And I'm sorry for your loss. For the record, that would never happen on my watch.
[Reading newspaper at table to Roman]
The Sprang Bridge Soldiers capituated.
"Capitulated." Of course they did. I told you that Keo scene would send a message.
It sure did, boss. It sure **** did. Crossbow killer struck again last night. Rossi and four of his guys.
People don't kill people I own without my permission. Why doesn't this crossbow guy know that? You know that!
I know it. [Gets up to rub Roman's shoulders]
Why doesn't this crossbow guy? Why don't I own the crossbow guy?
I mean, I like crossbows. [Dinah enters loft apartment] Oh, good morning. Good morning. Morning. Come in. Come in. We're just finishing up a little business. Look around.
Should she come back another time, 'cause she's late?
No. Isn't this stunning? [To Dinah observing African tribal mask] That is a Chokwe mask. I got it when I was embedded with the Mbangani tribe in Congo-Kinshasa. Have you ever been?
Dinah Lance I've never been. I've heard it's beautiful.
Dinah Lance Oh... [Roman puts arms around Dinah and leads her aside]
Here, look at this. Genuine tsantsa or shrunken head. Shuar of Ecuador. They're amazing people. Surprisingly gentle. I think you might like them.
Dinah Lance Really?
They boil the heads of their enemies and they make these little fellas. Exquisite, aren't they? Look.
Dinah Lance Mmm-hmm.
Look at those little ears. And his little haircut.
Dinah Lance Ah...
Yeah, he's 1,000 years old.
Dinah Lance Wow.
And now he's just an ornament in my living room. Ew!
Dinah Lance I love it.
Yeah? These are ancient acupuncture models. As you can see, they have all the acupuncture points. And we found these buried in the mountains.
Ace Chemicals got blown sky high last night!
All right, all right, let's find the Crossbow killer! I get it!
Dinah Lance [Referring to statue]
Is he an acupuncture model, too?
He is not an acupuncture model. This is a statue of me. It was made by a very famous Gotham artist...
Harley Quinn did it. Some kind of "**** you" to the Joker. They split.
What's wrong with you, Victor? Talk about burying the lede.
Dinah Lance Yeah.
This is spectacular news! [Walks to Victor and whispers] She doesn't belong to him, she belongs to me. Have the boys go find her. Round her up, bring her back. I want her. [To Dinah] You, I have something I want you to pick me up. Something super-duper important, okay?
Dinah Lance Okay.
Yeah, go with Victor. It's just a pickup. No, he's harmless. Do as you're told. Go.
Dinah Lance All right. We can go.
Dinah Lance Mr. S said for me to hold on to it.
[Voiceover]
That rock. That rock's about to become the key to whether or not I live to enjoy my newfound independence.
Dinah Lance [Thwarts Cassandra's pickpocketing attempt at her vehicle]
Get off me. What the hell are you doing here?!
You're not the only one who makes money off of dumb, rich, white people!
Dinah Lance Well, you know what? One day you're gonna pick the wrong pocket, sis.
Okay. Whatever. [Walks across street]
Dinah Lance Dumb-ass kids.
I really like your earrings.
M1 Man 1
There's the thief. There's the thief.
M2 Man 2
That little girl took my watch.
Where the ****'s the diamond? I just **** had it.
...
[Voiceover]
In the storytelling business, this dummy swallowing that diamond is called a complication. A complication I didn't exactly need right now. [Multiple police officers approaching her cornered in an alleyway] Parley?
...
Dinah Lance We lost the diamond.
RS Roman Sionis
[Receiving botox injections]
What?!
Dinah Lance We're really sorry, Mr. S. This kid...
We never even got our hands on it.
BI Botox injectionist
[Roman grabs his hand tightly and swipes it away]
Ow! Help!
RS Roman Sionis
Get out! Get out of here! [To woman burning sage] You, too! Go! With your **** sage stinking my place up. **** off!
Here she is. [Hands over a police perp profile paper]
RS Roman Sionis
[Holds up paper]
She's a child!
Dinah Lance She's just a kid. She's... [To subordinate] What?!
S Subordinate
We have Harley Quinn downstairs, as requested.
RS Roman Sionis
[Crumples up and throws paper]
**** off! Get out! [Throws pillow on floor] **** out! ****! These are my things! This diamond is my things!
RS Roman Sionis
My things! [Throws pillow] **** ****! I don't ask for much, do I?!
RS Roman Sionis
Why is this happening to me?! Why?!
[Restraining Roman]
I'm gonna get your diamond back. I promise. Why don't we go downstairs and kill that Harley bitch? Blow off a little steam.
RS Roman Sionis
Yeah, I have wanted to do that for quite some time. Okay. I'll go get changed. [Walks off]
