He's back in the country, and he's in prison.
Oliver: We are gonna break him out.
Hey, John.
I'm not saying you shouldn't do your penance,
but do it as spartan.
Adrian: Church is planning something, something big.
You're talking about the trust.
At least we definitely know where church is now.
We got to put him down.
Go! Do not die!
[Thunk]
-Get him to safety. -But--
go!
Church: Don't kill him. He may have his uses.
We are not gonna write off Rene.
We're gonna find him, we're gonna bring him back...
Wherever he is.
[Electricity crackles]
[Drip]
[Crack]
Ha ha ha!
The trust goes to the brace.
0-4 in 72.
[Moaning]
How you feeling, my friend?
You can keep going with the foreplay,
but I'm never giving you what you want.
You remind me of this other guy i once tortured,
maybe bigger, a little more muscle on the frame.
Heh. I don't know.
Look.
I was conversing with this son of a bitch
just like you and i have been conversing
for the past, what, 20 hours or so.
My knuckles hurt, even with the brass.
And this guy would just not give me what i needed,
not unlike you.
So i said to myself,
"Tobias, make this guy feel pain
and then it clicked.
It's not the pain that breaks people.
It's fear...
Fear of that pain,
of what that pain brings,
of what happens next.
Church: Huh? Oh.
I got what i wanted from that guy.
Hey.
So you might want to think about that
the next time i ask you a question.
Man: Agh!
Tobias church-- where is he?
Don't know. Even if i did,
whatever you're gonna do to me, he's worse.
How sure are you about that?
Unh!
Aw, you're kind of cute, too,
in a "i feel sorry for you" kind of way.
Where's church?
Yeah? Who wants to know?
Oliver: The green guy!
Where's church?
Look out!
You ok?
I'm better than this schmuck.
Church--address now!
I heard he's somewhere northwest of here,
maybe by the water.
Half the city's on the water.
I swear that's all i know.
[Typing]
Come on.
How's it going?
I would punch this monitor
if i didn't know how much it cost.
Also, it would probably really hurt.
Can you get off your feet, please?
Oliver told me that you were back to work
a week after you were shot
by the clock king.
Shot in the shoulder,
not a knife in the back.
I don't need you to remind me.
I have excruciating agony to do that.
[Vibrating]
Who's that?
Hmm? Telemarketer.
Tell me you've had better luck than I've had.
We might have narrowed it down
to the northwest part of the city.
Evelyn: Yeah, so now we're looking
for a needle in a slightly smaller haystack.
I will run an algorithm,
cross-referencing traffic cams
with probable locations.
Wow! This place just got really crowded.
Hey.
Do people just walk into your secret base
of operations?
-Yes. -Yes.
-This is... -Spartan...I'm guessing.
You guys must be the new kids on the block.
More like the backstreet boys.
It was funny in my head.
This is Rory Regan and Evelyn sharp.
John diggle, and you are missing a man--
Rene Ramirez.
Lyla called in argus for the search.
Unfortunately, she's turned up nothing.
It's going around.
We are gonna find Rene,
and we're not gonna give up hope while we're doing it.
I have an early meeting at city hall.
I will check in with everybody soon.
Is it just my imagination,
or did Oliver just seem--
optimistic.
That's not usually a word I'd associate with his demeanor.
Thank you.
Rene?
Slow. What about the acu?
Too many cops on church's dime
keeping him 5 steps ahead,
and with conahan gone
and church's assault on the acu,
I'm thinking we got to bring more men into the fold.
Well, do we have enough guys that we can trust?
Pike says that a bunch of his men have volunteered
since the attack on the acu,
so if you want, i can vet them,
and i can, you know, make sure there's no bad apples.
Please. Let's get that done.
Look. I know this is one of the last things
you want to be dealing with right now,
but the rezoning vote is in a few days.
Allowing us to expand low-income housing in orchid bay.
Yeah, yeah.
Ok. Well, we need a 4/5 majority vote
from city council in order to pass the ordinance, and--
who are the holdouts?
Only one that really matters--
councilman kullens.
Ehh, he is decidedly antiresidential.
I was gonna say he's the most stubborn man
in the city compared to you,
but that works.
Let's get into it.
Anatoly, what is this?
It is time, my friend.
English will suffice, Viktor.
Fine.
What does bratva mean to you, Oliver Queen?
Brotherhood.
Anatoly: Brotherhood is family.
Who are yours?
My father's dead.
My mother and sister--
both dead.
Bratva only know their brothers.
Do you know what i mean by this?
I have no family, i have no home,
i have no name.
We're at the latest probable, overwatch,
but it's another dead end.
Try not to use that phrase.
-Is that-- -blood? Looks like.
Scratch that. We think this is where Rene
was being held.
-Was? -Blood's still fresh.
They must have just moved him.
Kh-10 shows a panel Van moving from that location
40 minutes ago.
Can you track it?
I have been able to every other time
somebody asked me that question.
-Got it. -Where?
This is a little awkward,
but Oliver made me promise that if we got our location
on Rene i would only share it with him.
That's actually not surprising at all.
Lest i forget...
So you can pay the ferry.
Heh heh heh.
Why, man?
Because you pissed me off.
No. Why this city?
I mean, why come here?
Now why are you asking me that now?
If I'm gonna die tonight,
it'd be nice to know why.
From what i heard, you were popping
in bludhaven and hub city.
Why you messing with us?
Ahh.
For your water access.
Psss.
Seriously.
Through star city's docks, i can move
thousands of tons of heroin, slam, vertigo.
I'm working on the biggest consolidation
of drug enterprises anybody has ever seen.
Only thing I'm waiting for is the green arrow
to get out of the picture.
Little man, that grave ain't gonna dig itself.
So how about you do the digging yourself?
Oh, you think I'm afraid to get my hands dirty, huh?
Unh!
Yeah, dig!
Agh!
[Rene groans]
Hey. Are you ok?
I thought church would put up more of a fight.
Probably realized he didn't have to.
What do you mean?
I was hurting so bad, it--it got so i couldn't even see straight.
Barely even remember telling him.
Telling him what?
Who you are.
He knows you're Oliver Queen.
Should have been out there with you tonight, Oliver.
Dig, you said you needed time.
Don't be afraid to take it,
and tonight would not have made any difference.
Church didn't want to fight.
He wanted to run.
That's because he knows killing the mayor
is a lot easier than killing the green arrow.
What? We were all thinking it.
I told Rene to stand down and recover.
Evelyn and Rory are gonna watch thea and Quentin
in case church tries to get me through them.
How's Curtis doing?
Says he wants to get back at it.
Then let's get him on Lyla and j.J.
Well, good. I'll have Felicity's back.
Oliver, i know you have a security detail,
but you might as well have a bull's-eye
painted on your head.
John, i can disappear again.
I'm still dealing with the fallout
from not being around when the acu was attacked,
and there is actually a rezoning vote that needs my attention.
Whoa. Wait. Doesn't a vote take
a backseat to finding church before he tells
every criminal in the city who you are?
I have security. I'll be fine.
Have you ever-- has he ever actually said that
and it turned out to be true?
Do you agree with her?
Well, i know i said it was a good idea to start a team,
but what do we have-- a Laurel Lance wannabe,
a weird rag guy, a lunatic, and Curtis?
Curtis just wasn't who i pictured.
Uh--ahem-- they have potential.
One of them got themselves captured
and gave up your name.
And I'd like you to debrief him.
Debrief him?
Church told Rene that he's planning something,
something big enough to involve 5 cities.
So church just gave up his master plan?
He thought Rene was gonna be dead 5 minutes later.
Church is trying to consolidate the drug trade
through star city, but he was waiting
for the green arrow to be gone
before he made his move.
Ok. Well, if that's true,
i think i know a way we can turn this
to our advantage.
I'm all ears.
Oliver, i know a guy, very specific skill set.
I think he can be here in 24 hours.
Did you get my message?
Yeah. Quentin and i can take care of ourselves.
Still doesn't hurt to have a shadow.
Is councilman kullens in there?
Yes. He's waiting in your office
with Susan Williams.
Thank you very much, fellas.
I didn't agree to an interview.
Yeah? Well, she's shadowing him
for some type of profile,
and i already tried to get her kicked out,
but he was adamant about having her in there.
Any advice?
Don't screw it up.
Councilman kullens.
Hi.
Ms. Williams, it's a pleasure
to finally meet you.
Really? Have you watched any of my pieces?
I have, and i think you're off the mark
in certain instances.
Is that on the record?
If you want to get an actual quote, Ms. Williams,
you can go through all the proper channels.
This meeting is strictly about
the rezoning ordinance.
Yes. Councilman, as you know,
i ran on a platform of unity,
but it is difficult for a city to be united
when so much of the zoning within it
remains exclusionary.
We need to open it up,
allow for more affordable housing,
give the people a chance to start over and rebuild,
but the second the money starts rolling in,
those families get squeezed out by crony capitalists.
That's not gonna happen here.
Hard to believe considering your family's history.
I'm sorry, councilman. I don't follow.
Well, the type of rezoning you're proposing
happened downtown 25 years ago,
but instead of affordable housing,
we got skyrises,
and one of them became the offices
of Queen consolidated.
Is that true, Mr. mayor?
I'll consider that a no comment.
I can tell you have good intentions,
I'm sorry. I'm not changing my vote.
Ok. Maybe you should just put an arrow in him.
Billy: That was a bit more than i expected
to get done on my lunch break.
Heh heh.
Is this a normal Wednesday afternoon for you?
Well, i had to make up for last night.
I hate canceling last minute.
I got a feeling I'm gonna be the one
canceling on you for a change.
I got a promotion.
I signed on with the acu.
Oliver's anti-crime unit.
This isn't gonna be weird, right?
-Hmm? -Me reporting
to your ex-fiance.
Yeah. What could possibly we weird about that?
-Felicity? -Mm-hmm?
Does mayor Queen know that we're seeing each other?
It really doesn't help if you call him mayor Queen.
Felicity?
Definitely. Yeah.
He's definitely--
definitely aware of you.
Rene: Love what you've done with the place.
Heh. It's not much, man, but it's home,
and it's safe, especially now that
Felicity's teched up the place.
-Thanks for coming out. -No problem, man.
Let's just get this over with,
but i got to tell you there's nothing
you could tell me that i haven't already told myself.
I'm torn apart over this.
Is that what you think this is, a lecture?
What i deserve is a beat-down.
When's the last time you looked in the mirror.
But maybe something good can come out of this, man,
like...
I don't know, maybe you saw something,
heard something that can help us bring down church.
I already told Oliver everything i remember, man.
I know, but--
but traumatic events have a way of doing
funny things to the memory,
and if you think what you went through is not traumatic,
again, i say mirror.
My dad taught me how to take a beating.
I know, Rene. You're tough.
I get that, man,
but this isn't about being tough, ok?
It's about...
[Sighs]
Look, man.
I been where you are, ok,
and i know it's not easy,
but if we talk about this
and go through it step by step--
look. I said i don't know.
I should be out there trying to fix this,
not in here with you playing therapist.
Oliver says stay put.
And I'm staying put.
But i don't remember anything.
Just make sure the amertek gear gets to the brace.
I want everybody locked and loaded.
No, he's not gonna be a problem.
The green arrow will be dead by then.
Louis, I'm gonna need to hit you back.
You like this place?
I'm getting a penthouse built.
Gonna let me see the whole city.
I told you to stay away from the green arrow.
I don't work for you,
and the green arrow found me.
You kidnapped his protege.
Serendipitous encounter.
And your last.
Whoo!
After getting threatened by a freak,
i hired one of my own.
This was your second warning.
There won't be a third.
Nope. You're gonna kill the mayor.
[Elevator dings]
What is Susan Williams doing in your office?
I agreed to an off-camera interview.
Ok. Come here.
Ok. So did you go out last night
as the g-green arrow and get hit
really hard in the head?
Susan Williams is in our lives, thea.
If we don't make her an ally,
then she's gonna remain an enemy.
Ok, but she's poison.
Well, it turns out that if you ingest
small amounts of poison over time
you can develop an immunity.
[Door shuts]
Good morning.
When i got your call last night,
i thought someone in my office was playing
a prank on me.
Well, i thought thea made a good point yesterday
when she suggested that you go through the proper channels.
-Please. -Ok.
The interview i had in mind was
going to be on camera.
Baby steps.
May i ask you a question?
I don't think you understand how this interview thing works.
Have your attacks on my administration been personal,
or are they just good ratings?
Don't see why they can't be both.
Why are you asking?
Because I'm trying to figure out
how hard I'm gonna have to work to win you over.
You seem like a nice guy,
but you're not a real politician.
I am underqualified.
Vastly, and the city, my home, is suffering because of it.
I appreciate the fact that
i haven't earned your trust yet.
Susan, as someone who professes to care about star city,
i think that you owe it to the people of star city
to give me an opportunity to earn that trust,
and i promise you i can't do that
if I'm spending all of my energy
dodging all of these grenades that you're lobbying at me,
you give me one month with no attacks.
Let me show you what i can do,
and if i don't deliver...
It's open season.
What's this?
My persona cell.
Why would i need that?
I think you can figure it out.
Anatoly: To survivors of amazo.
May we experience as much sorrow
as drops of wine about to be left in glass.
-Prochnost. -Prochnost.
I get us more drinks, something stronger.
All right.
It's a party, Viktor.
Let me get you a drink.
You may have passed all the tests
and said all the right things,
but i do not believe for a second
you are bratva.
Then you weren't paying attention
during the ceremony, i guess.
Look around you.
These men are here because government men
like kovar have taken everything from them.
The bratva is means to bring justice
for all those crimes.
Justice is why I'm here.
Heh heh heh.
Some American castaway will never understand,
so you can say all the words that anatoly feeds you,
but you'll never be one of us,
and you should know by now what we do to outsiders.
Viktor, you come toast our new brother?
Yes, of course.
Congratulations, brother.
What was that about?
That was nothing.
What is this?
Best not ask.
Just drink.
How long you gonna be staying here, man?
I'm a fugitive, Rene.
I live here,
and until you heal up, we're roomies.
So you feel much more like talking?
Why don't we talk about the time you were tortured?
Sure.
It was about a year ago.
My brother Andy did it.
You got tortured by your brother?
Mm-hmm.
He was working with Damien darhk.
Oliver said you reenlisted. That why?
Partly.
That also why you sidelined yourself?
-That, too. -Hmm.
So you're ex-Navy, right?
Dishonorably discharged.
Reason?
You know something, man? You don't have to tell me.
We were transporting a prisoner,
one who had information we needed.
Intelligence officers couldn't get it out of him,
so...
I tried to do it my way.
You put a beating on him.
I've been thinking a lot about that decision.
Particularly since you've been on the other side
of that beat-down, right?
Because i screwed up again.
That's my life, man,
and now you asking me to relive my latest and greatest.
That's right, Rene.
If you want to help us,
if you want to give us anything that could bring down church,
I'm afraid you're gonna have to.
Ok.
What do i do?
Oliver: Councilman, thank you for coming back.
I'm afraid you're just wasting both of our times.
Maybe. After you educated us on Queen consolidated,
thea and i thought we would do some of our own research.
Yeah, we were very curious to find out
where our family's business was located.
Heh heh. Heh heh heh.
You would not believe how surprised
and delighted we were to find out
that you were one of those, um--
what was--what was the term
the councilman used?
-Crony capitalists? -Right.
That you were one of those crony capitalists
who pushed poor people out of those neighborhoods,
hiding behind a shell company of course.
The same company who owns controlling interest
in a real estate developer who just filed
for permits to redevelop orchid bay
for commercial uses.
Oliver: Your opposition to this rezoning,
it's not political.
It's--it's personal. I get it.
You're trying to protect an investment.
Susan Williams isn't shadowing you at the moment,
but to me, this feels like a story she would like,
so should i call her?
Uh, she actually gave me her number this morning.
Well, councilman, it's like you said,
politics is the art of the real.
[Bang]
Well, that was fun.
You made kullens squirm.
Guy's a career politician.
Just needed to know where to apply the pressure.
How are you so sure about all this?
I'm the mayor of star city, thea.
This is what i do.
Agh!
Hey! Get in the car! Get in the car, get in the car.
[Gunshot]
[No dialogue]
It's my sad duty
to inform you that at 1:23 A.M.
Mayor Oliver Queen was pronounced dead
at starling general.
In his too-short life, Oliver Queen experienced
great hardship,
but he came through the other side
with a passion for service, committed to making
star city a safer place for us all to call home.
Wow. He really didn't say anything that nice
about you when you were alive.
Probably didn't deserve it.
Sorry about the suit.
Ahh. We haven't been properly introduced.
Heads-up.
God! Ohh!
Christopher chance.
John referred to you as the human target.
Well, that works better as a job description
than it does as a nickname.
Right.
Felicity: This is so weird.
[Deep voice] You have failed this city.
Ha ha ha ha!
Uh, she's a little shaken.
You know, i didn't get a chance to tell her
what was gonna go down until right before.
Curtis: She is gonna be so pissed at you.
And, like, the whole city.
Rory: They're gonna find out, though, right?
I mean, you can't stay dead forever.
No. Just until church makes his big move.
Felicity: Well, that's what you're betting on now
that the green arrow/ Oliver Queen is--
cckk--dead.
That's the hope.
Now we just need to figure out
what he has planned.
I do not understand you, Oliver.
You--you become brother,
but you still act like you carry weight of world
on shoulders alone.
That is what your brothers are for.
I'm just thinking about why i came here.
Because this best bar in town.
Actually, only bar.
Heh. No. I mean, why i came here
after lian yu.
Yes. Yes. You already told me.
Something about old promise.
I thought i told you time to move forward.
She has a family.
I haven't--i haven't spoken to them.
Oh, this is about woman.
Now i understand.
There is old saying in Russian.
Ok, maybe not Russian, but it still works.
"There's no problem beautiful woman cannot fix."
Now go talk to her before i do.
[Woman grunts]
Oliver, where are you going?
Party just start.
Gonna go get some air.
You sure? I think i heard anatoly was looking for you.
I'm sure. I'll be fine.
So thanks for doing this.
Being killed is basically my job.
But, uh, not just for taking the bullets.
I--i heard that you got kullens to cave.
Yeah, and scored you a very pretty girl's phone number.
No, but the truth is you did that.
I was under the impression that I've been down here all day.
I don't just put on faces, Oliver.
I become my target, and to do that,
I've got to learn everything there is to know about them,
more than they know about themselves.
I've got to become them.
My apologies.
What for?
Man, you got a great life. Heh.
You're the mayor...
But you'd still rather be the hood than Oliver Queen.
Oliver Queen has--has never really been my better half.
Nobody moves forward in life
when they're hiding behind a mask.
Trust me.
You know, it's why you're struggling as mayor,
and it's probably why you won't call that girl.
That's not the reason.
Listen. I'm the last person to give dating advice,
but Felicity moved on.
You didn't know. Sorry.
Uh, earlier today, i met with a detective
who just joined the acu, uh, Billy Malone.
He casually mentioned that he was seeing Felicity ,
seemed to think that you knew.
Hmm.
John: You're safe, Rene. Nothing can hurt you.
Is this gonna be one of those hippie-dippie meditation things?
Eyes closed.
Breathe.
Don't try to remember.
Just go there.
Get a picture.
[Heart beating]
[Electricity crackles]
I was starving.
My wrists hurt like hell from the zip ties.
What else?
Sounds, smells.
Couldn't smell anything. Nose was busted.
What about people? Who else was there?
Muscle. Los halcones, triad.
[Church laughing]
It's not pain that breaks people.
It's fear.
There's something else.
What?
The trust goes to the brace 0-4 in 72.
I know what's happening.
-Hey. -Hi.
Um, thanks for letting me swing by.
I know it's-- it's late.
You do remember that this apartment has
a front door, right?
Well, front doors are more for people
who haven't just faked their own death.
Good point.
So what's up?
Your message sounded cryptic.
Sorry. I--i wasn't sure if i
should say anything at all actually.
That couldn't wait till tomorrow?
Why didn't you tell me that you were seeing someone?
Well...Maybe on some crazy subconscious level,
i was worried you'd show up on my balcony
in the middle of the night.
Snark probably isn't appropriate to hear.
I'm totally fine that you're seeing someone,
but I'm hurt that you didn't tell me.
I'm sorry. I--i meant to,
and then every time i went to go bring it up,
i just sort of, like--
i just chickened out.
Why?
Were you--were you--
were you keeping the door open for us, or--
no. Of course not.
No. We're just-- you and i work together,
and i just--i didn't want to make it a thing, you know,
until it was something--
something...Real.
Is it real?
I don't know.
[Cell phone chimes and vibrates]
It's John and Rene.
They have something.
"The trust goes to the brace 0-4 in 72."
Could that be any more obscure?
0-4 in 72 could be the time and date.
4 A.M., 72 hours after he held Rene?
Yeah, that's soon.
And the brace is what the guys in my hood
used to call the private airstrip outside pennytown.
Halpin-brace airfield.
That's the one, and this trust,
i think it's the heads of the crime families
that church controls.
That's a bigger leap than Curtis took
at the Beijing Olympics.
When he had me dig my own grave,
he talked about bringing this trust together.
That's his big play, man.
4 A.M.'s in 20 minutes.
John: Mm-hmm.
Wake up the team. We don't have much time.
You're all geared up.
Oliver didn't bust me out of prison
for me to warm the bench, right?
So what's up? You ready to move out?
Decided not to go.
Last thing any of you need right now
is me screwing things up again.
When it comes to guilt and recrimination,
the line forms behind me.
I didn't think i was ready to face what i had done,
but I'm wearing this suit again
because i think it's a path to redemption.
And it could be for you, too.
-Good flight? -Everyone's very interested
in hearing what you've got planned, Tobias.
It's called the largest drug enterprise
on the western coast-- shipments 24/7
in a city where cops are afraid
or on our payroll,
and as a added bonus,
the mayor's an alkie.
Heh heh heh.
Sentry reports movement on the perimeter.
I thought you'd taken out the green arrow.
Aw, it's not him.
It's the jv squad.
[Gunshots]
Church: Chill out, damn it!
Deal with them!
Spartan is such a badass.
The baddest.
You were right.
Fear of pain is what's worse.
You afraid yet, bitch?
Never.
I lost church.
I've got him. Moving southwest.
I've got these two.
Go back up Mr. church.
You guys all right?
Good seeing you again, brother.
Yeah, you, too. Nice helmet.
Tarmac is secured. You guys all right?
You look like you've seen a ghost.
Heh. You survived.
I guess I'll just have to kill you again, Oliver.
You mind if i call you Oliver?
Yes, i do.
[Clang]
Unh!
Get up!
[Groans]
You're done, church!
You got much worse coming--heh--
and you don't even know it.
He calls himself prometheus,
and he's gonna end you.
Unh!
Oliver: First of all, i would like to apologize
for perpetrating a deception on this scale.
The acu had intel that we may be able to catch Mr. church
but only if his plan moved forward,
which would only happen if he believed
the mayor of star city was dead.
In my mind, this was a worthwhile gamble,
and it paid off.
Mr. church and his underlings were apprehended,
as well as the heads of organized crime enterprises
in bludhaven, hub city, keystone, and whiteholland.
[Applause]
One more piece of good news.
I have just received word that the city council passed
an ordinance rezoning for low-income housing.
And with church in custody,
i take it that your identity's safe.
I hope so.
Thanks for the assist
and the personal insight.
It's just part of the service.
Ah. Speak of the devil.
Oh, am i the devil now?
That would definitely be my cue to leave.
Take care.
Sorry to drop by unannounced.
It's not like you need an invitation.
Yeah. No. I know.
I just--just between us,
things have been a bit complicated...
I mean, complicated's
probably not the right word-- it's not the wrong word.I want you to be happy,
and in the spirit of that,
i think that you owe it to yourself to
find out if what you have with Billy is...Real,
and i owe it to myself to embrace
whatever's next for--for me when I'm not...
Yes.
The...
Err!
Yeah.
It's funny. That's what i came here to say to you.
We're usually on the same page.
About a lot of things.
All right. Uh, heh. Mmm. Yes.
I will see--I'll see you...Later.
Thank you.
You don't need to thank me.
Yeah.
I care about you...
It's a mortal lock.
Man: Viktor wanted to give you a proper gift.
Guessing that's not you.
[Grunting]
That's a nice knife.
Maybe i keep it after i kill you.
This doesn't concern you.
Actually, it does.
Have a nice night.
You can tell your boss i expect
the other half of my fee within the hour.
Oliver...Are you ok?
I'm fine.
Anatoly, what the hell is going on?
Viktor clearly sent those two to kill me,
and then some other guy shows up, kills them, and--and--
yes, yes. Yes. My way of handling Viktor problem.
I know he wanted your dead.
You didn't think it would be a good idea to tell me that?
We cannot kill Viktor. He's too connected.
I hire special man.
-Come on. -Anatoly, what did i get
myself into?
A most interesting question, my friend.
I thought we agreed last time was
the last time, Susan.
I know, but then i remembered
my money was still good and
you still like gambling a bit too much.
What do you have for me, Ian?
The guy who took the bullets for mayor Queen
was Christopher chance.
Felt like this work.
I think I've figured out how Queen knows him.
Really?
Went through the database,
looking for details of chance's past ops.
I came across this little beauty.
Recognize your boy?
That was taken 5 years ago
when Oliver Queen was supposedly stranded on a deserted island.
[Sirens]
Aren't on your payroll, buddy.
Nobody's breaking you out.
That's not what I'm worried about.
You guys should have flown me to iron heights.
Yeah. I heard you liked helicopters.
What's got you spooked?
[Tires squeal]
[Police radio chatter]
Man: Where'd he come from?
What? Hey--agh! Aah!
[Officers screaming, arrows flying]
[Swords slicing, screaming continues]
[Woman whimpers]
[Heavy footsteps]
Don't go out there.
Why? So i can protect your ass in here?
So you don't get killed.
Unh!
I knew we'd be having this conversation.
Just hear me out.
You want the green arrow.
I can give him to you.
I can give you his name.
You would be the only person who knows.
It's Oliver Queen.
So we cool?
Yeah...We are.
