My name is Oliver Queen.
After 5 years in Hell, I returned home
with only one goal-- to save my city.
Today, I fight that war on two fronts.
By day, I lead Star City as its mayor,
but by night, I am someone else.
I am...Something else.
I am the Green Arrow.
Previously on "Arrow"...
You have to promise me
that you will be his father.
I promise.
William blames me for Samantha's death.
Now you don't have to like me.
I'm your dad. I am gonna be there for you
whether you want me to be or not.
Curtis and Lance took Rene to Dr. Schwartz for treatment.
Saw you take the shot at that merc.
Never seen you miss.
Turn on channel 52 right now.
This photo provides unequivocal proof
of the identity of the vigilante known as the Green Arrow.
What are we gonna do?
I--I don't know.
Anything interesting on the news last night?
Can you comment on the photo released last night?
How do you feel about the accusation
of being the Green Arrow?
Ladies and gentlemen.
Ladies and gentlemen, please.
If you want to know what I have to say,
it would probably help if you could hear me.
Thank you.
Gonna tell you two things,
both of which you probably already know.
First. This is important. I am not the Green Arrow.
If you're not the Green Arrow, then who is?
Number two. Photos can be doctored.
They could have put Bruce Wayne's head on that body.
Has Bruce Wayne left Gotham to hang out in Star City recently?
No. Now if I was running around the city
during the day and managing it as mayor
while running around at night frightening criminals
as a vigilante, that really would
make me a superhero,
but I'm not.
I'm just the mayor.
Thank you very much.
You seem to be taking this in your stride.
I've been here before with you.
Ugh. Yeah, but I didn't have a photograph
of you in flagrante de-arrow.
Where did channel 52 get the photo?
Anonymous source. Arrived in yesterday's mail,
no return address.
Let's get the envelope, let's get it to forensics,
and let's figure out who leaked it.
And why.
Can't let this distract us.
Where are with rebuilding the SCPD?
Well, I fast tracked the insurance claim,
so we should have 20 million burning a hole
in our account by the end of the day.
- "Our" account? - I figure we peel off
a few bucks and fly off to Vegas.
Heh heh heh. That's cute.
Think it might be a little suspicious
if Oliver left town right about now.
I need to be in town
for the Markovian delegation.
So it's all right for me to go to Vegas is what you're saying?
Hello.
I don't think you have an appointment.
No, but I really don't need one.
Special Agent Samanda Watson.
Uh, can we help you with something?
Not really. I'm here as a courtesy
to inform you of the investigation
I'll be conducting in your city.
Investigation into what?
You.
Ohh. You've got to be kidding.
Yeah, because the FBI is world renowned
for its sense of humor.
You were on the news last night, wearing
the outfit of a known criminal.
Can you honestly say you're surprised
there's an investigation?
No, but I wasn't expecting the FBI.
Well, quite frankly, the local
law enforcement has proven ineffective
where the Green Arrow is concerned.
Uh, Agent...Watson?
Yes.
I was cleared 5 years ago.
Of being the Hood, not the Green Arrow,
and you were cleared by the guy who's now your deputy mayor.
Would you like me to send you a copy
of the polygraph that Mr. Queen passed?
For starters. The local AG will be
issuing subpoenas later on today.
It was nice meeting you, gentlemen.
I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of each other.
? Arrow 6x02 ? Tribute
== sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man
At least they caught his good side.
Sorry. Not funny.
All right. John said you guys have experience
putting this particular genie back in the bottle.
Well, yeah. I mean, John's put on the hood before,
but I don't see how that's gonna work now,
not with photographic evidence.
What about the human target?
The human what now?
Best cosplayer ever. He can literally
make himself look like someone else?
Yeah. Chance is out of the country right now,
only God knows where.
We have to think of a new way of getting out of this.
And if we can't?
Because assuming Oliver does not go to prison,
he's not gonna be able to do anything
with a million eyes on him.
Not to mention that if he's outed,
rather if he stays outed,
it won't be much of a leap to the rest of us.
One step at a time.
Ok. First step being figuring out
where this picture came from.
It came from nowhere.
What do you mean?
I mean this envelope wasn't mailed,
delivered, or sent.
It came from inside the channel 52 news offices.
How do we know that?
Bar code. Channel 52 uses it
for internal traffic.
How many people work there?
568.
All right. I'm just gonna say to say it.
What if this was Chase, huh?
He could have put this in motion months ago,
a little parting gift.
Seems like his style, messing with you like this.
It is more than possible.
How's your boy holding up with all this?
Ok. I wanted to keep him home from school,
but he insisted on going.
Like his father, huh?
I wasn't much of a student.
I mean, he's tough.
Where's he standing?
If we could figure out when and where this was taken,
it would give us something to go on.
I wrote an image analysis algorithm,
but there's just not very much for the computer to chew on.
Was the original photo taken digitally,
or was it taken he old-fashioned way?
Digital. Printed on standard inkjet stock.
- Hmm. - Ok. Maybe if we get the file,
there might be some meta data on it,
and we can figure out who took the photo.
That's a pretty epic maybe.
Yeah. Well, like you said,
if we don't figure this out and fast,
we're screwed!
- I did say that, didn't I? - Yeah, you did.
This could destroy our whole lives.
It's hard to think that before
my biggest worry was getting a new job,
and now it's about whether or not we'll end up in jail.
I thought you were sitting pretty from your Palmer Tech severance.
Yeah, from, like, a year ago.
What are you gonna do--
assuming that we're all not in jail.
I mean, I'd definitely rather go to Iron Heights
than work at Tech Village again.
That place was horrendous. What about you?
I mean, you've been out of a job as long as I have.
Not really. I've been doing some freelance coding
in my spare time.
What? What spare time?
Yeah. Tell me about it. Barely any,
but I did not take a dime from Paul in the divorce,
and a man's got to eat.
So you just had, like, a secret job this whole time.
You didn't tell anyone about it?
I thought we all, like, had, like, secret jobs.
- No. - Except for John maybe.
What does he do for money?
That's something that's been perplexing me.
He's--he's married to the director of Argus.
Yeah. That's right. She does make a lot of money. Heh.
This building has been vacant
since being claimed by the city under eminent domain
4 years ago.
Do you have any comment
on the FBI investigating you under murder charges?
We're not gonna talk about that.
Except to say it's a load of crap.
Ahem. By offering subsidized leasing
to Markovia's Vortex Industries,
they're gonna be able to create a high-tech factory here,
bringing at the very least 800 new jobs to Star City.
Can you shed light
on the accusation of being the Green Arrow?
You have said you're not the Green Arrow.
Then who is. Why are you being--
Guys, enough!
If we're not here to discuss
the Markovian initiative,
then you can just get back on the bus
because I will not-- for the last time--
be answering questions on the Green Arrow.
But I'd be happy to.
Alec Tarkov. I'm the vortex CEO,
and if your mayor is truly a superhero,
which seems ludicrous--
Thank you.
We will double our investment.
Safe city's a good place to do business, no?
Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Tarkov,
but not even my son considers me much of a superhero.
Go for cover! Go for cover!
Get to the Van!
Agh!
Go, go, go, go, go!
Here we go!
Come on. Hit it! Go!
All right. Hold on. Hold on!
Is everyone ok?
Yeah.
Hello, Mr. Mayor.
Hope you're having pleasant day.
You look like maybe you want to throw punch at me.
Don't worry. We are not here for you.
We have business with our Markovian cousins.
These are legitimate businessmen.
I never said my business was not legitimate
unless you know something maybe a mayor should not know.
Teper.
We'll be in touch.
Dasvidanya.
You ok?
My best friend is under a microscope
by everyone in this city and the FBI,
so he couldn't stop the Bratva from taking hostages,
so let's just assume I'm not.
I wasn't talking about what's going on with Oliver.
Dinah, I'm fine.
The only thing that's really bothering me
is you being up in my business.
Hey. We came as soon as we heard.
We need to know why Anatoly took the Markovians,
and we need to find him now.
Oliver, Felicity and Curtis are on this...
- But you need to stay here. - Look. I know I said before
Chase could be behind this, but now I'm thinking--
It's Anatoly.
He leaked the photo to tie my hands.
We're on this. We'll take care of it.
- SQL or Java? - What?
In your job as a secret programmer,
are you coding in SQL or Java?
Both, plus a little Swift.
I can't believe you've had a secret job this whole time
and you didn't even tell me about it.
Is this relevant to locating the Bratva and/or their hostages?
I am multitasking, thank you very much,
and, yes, if you must know, I am running
my image analysis algorithm on the photo of Oliver.
What? Get something?
No. Just my algorithm crapping out again.
Don't despair. I think I might have a line
on our friend Anatoly.
Now working on the assumption
that he hasn't been in town that long,
I wondered how he was fixed for cash.
I bet his Bratva buddies are good for it, no?
Well, he has to pay them somehow.
Cash would set off too many alarm bells,
plus he'd have to convert it from rubles.
Credit cards are way too easy to track,
but then there's...
Cryptocurrency's virtually impossible to track.
For mere mortals,
but we're Mr. Terrific and Overwatch.
Overwatch and Mr. Terrific.
No. I can assure you. We are doing everything
in our power to get the hostages back.
We haven't determined a motive for the kidnapping,
but the police are working on it around the clock, all right?
No. Of course, of course, of course.
- Thank you, minister. - Yes. That's right.
We'll be in touch. Thank you.
The Markovian consulate is losing their minds.
It's the same with the Vortex home office.
They want to send private security to get their people back.
I told them we've got it handled, but--
Felt like you were lying?
Where are we with the SCPD?
Dinah's got people rounding up every Russian thug
with a record, but, you know, they're shorthanded down there.
Got a new problem.
We received an anonymous message
from the group claiming responsibility
for today's abduction of the contingent
of executives from Markovia.
In what can only be a small consolation,
the mayor and the reporters at the delegation were not...
Lady's getting a lot of anonymous messages these days.
As for what exactly this group wants,
they said they will execute the hostages in 12 hours
unless the city pays them a ransom of $20 million.
Mayor Queen could not be reached for comment.
- Rene. - In related news, Mr.--
My comment is that we don't negotiate with terrorists.
Yeah, but if we did, we got $20 million
from the reconstruction of the police department.
It's funny. That's the exact number
your buddy Anatoly chose.
I don't care what number he chose.
We're not paying him 20 cents.
Yeah?
This is he.
Is he ok?
No. Of course. Of course.
I have to go.
Want to tell me what happened?
No.
Did you see who hit you?
Teacher was saying it could have been a couple of kids.
Buddy, I can't help you if you--
They know you're the Green Arrow.
What?
They said you're the Green Arrow.
They said you're not here to help me.
Oh, man. Look.
William, I'm really sorry that you have to--
They were really big, eighth graders.
Eighth graders, huh?
You should go for the nose.
What?
If something like this happens again,
go for the nose.
Find the biggest one, the biggest on in the group,
walk right up to him without saying a thing,
and punch him in the nose as hard as you possibly can.
He will have no idea what is going on.
He won't be able to see, and if he can't see, he can't fight,
and then all of his buddies,
all the guys that were being so brave,
they will back off.
Trust me on that one.
- But what if-- - Hang on.
Yeah?
It's me hang on a second.
What was that?
Had to secure the line.
Curtis and I found Anatoly.
Russian restaurant owned by a dummy corporation.
Thermal satellite reads 4 bodies in an industrial cooler.
Is it the hostages?
That's what we're thinking.
Text me the address. I'll be there soon.
Stop the car, please.
- What are you-- - I got to get out.
Listen. Ahem. The driver and security,
they are gonna make sure that you get right home to Raisa.
- But-- - I promise that we'll talk
about this right when I get home,
but for now, I got to go.
Just please trust me.
3 access points north, south, and east.
Lance said these guys are packing some heavy artillery.
Where's G.A.?
Right here!
We thought maybe you couldn't get away.
It wasn't easy.
Terrific, keep eyes on the perimeter.
Spartan, Canary, occupy the guards.
I'll extract the Markovians.
There were 4 of you.
Alec Tarkov, our CEO, they took him.
- Where? - They did not tell us.
Spartan, Canary, we are short one hostage.
We just did a sweep.
There is no one else here.
- Overwatch. - I don't know what happened.
Thermal read 4 warm bodies inside.
They must have moved one.
In the least surprising news ever,
the Bratva-run restaurant is lacking in security cams.
Oh, you mean Russian mobsters like their privacy?
So what now?
So now I show you security camera footage
from outside the restaurant.
Where's Anatoly going with Tarkov?
Well, from this feed, it looks like he's headed northeast,
but then we lose him right about there.
We could cross-reference our list
of Bratva crytpocurrency activities
with Bratva-owned properties,
see what comes from that direction.
John, Dinah, be prepared to hit
whatever location Felicity and Curtis come up with.
- Copy that. - What about you?
I have to meet Quentin and Rene at the FBI.
The Agent that's doing the investigation wants to interview me.
You have a lawyer for that, right,
or an army of lawyers?
That would probably be better. That would work for you
if you had an army of them.
I don't want to look like I have anything to hide.
Where are we with the photo?
Oh, I'm doing a recoding of Felicity's
analysis algorithm.
Should have something working
within an hour to 30 days, give or take.
Ahem.
Much closer to the hour mark, though.
Thank you.
Keep me updated.
Did you always know you were gonna be FBI?
Because I have a little girl who I think has that potential.
I mean, of course, a woman can do anything a man can.
And why wouldn't they?
Exactly. I mean, they can.
I'm a feminist like that.
Hmm.
Look. It's been over an hour,
and my patience is beyond gone.
Actually, you know what?
That's the mayor himself.
He's got a family emergency.
He's at home with the kid. Look at that.
So it must just be a coincidence
that during his family emergency
the Green Arrow was spotted rescuing
the Markovian executives from the Russian mob?
Definitely a coincidence.
Do I really look that stupid?
You don't look stupid at all.
Listen. Look. We're really sorry
about keeping you waiting, all right,
but I don't know if you know this,
but the mayor is actually recently a single dad.
Yes. After the boy's mother died unexpectedly
in a car accident.
Well, most car accidents are...
Unexpected.
And most leave behind a car wreck and a body.
The only proof to miss Clayton's death
was the accident report and the autopsy,
both of which could have been easily faked.
You're not exactly a--a very trusting person,
are you, special Agent Watson?
Trust isn't part of my job description,
but let me make one thing clear as glass to you both.
If you're protecting Mr. Queen, I'll find out,
and I'll have you both indicted for obstruction.
Now get out my office.
You wasted enough of my time.
Let's go.
Hey, William.
That was a gift from a very good friend of mine.
It's all fake!
Superheroes don't save anyone.
Buddy, I know that I ran out on you, and I'm sorry,
but people needed help,
and I know that you needed help, too,
so I am--I'm here.
Do you want to learn a few more moves, or--
No, because I don't want to learn how to fight.
I don't want you to learn how to fight,
but you can't always reason with bullies.
You just left me by myself.
I know. I know, and I'm sorry.
I didn't know if you were gonna come back.
William, look at me.
I will always come back.
Just like my mom?
This is different.
Yeah. It's worse
because there's a million psychos
always trying to kill you.
I--I can handle them.
What if you can't? Then I'll be alone.
I'll have nobody.
You won't understand.
I do understand.
I lost my mom,
and I lost my dad...
And I was a lot older than you are now,
but I remember exactly how it feels.
It's sad, it's scary,
and it's lonely,
and I swear to God I will never let
that happen to you.
It's not up to you.
I'm sorry. It's work.
Which work?
Hello, Oliver.
Anatoly, why are you doing this?
I need money,
and from what I understand,
your city recently came into possession of $20 million.
There are plenty of cities in Russia.
Hmm. True. Beautiful ones,
but, you see, I have been exiled.
Apparently, Bratva thinks I am too weak
due to my friendship with you,
so now I show everyone
I am not weak,
and you and I no longer friends.
I know sometimes you--you need persuasion
to do right thing, so I--I help you.
This nice man has paralysis of muscles.
Soon, will have lung collapse and not be able to breathe.
This happens in maybe 3 hours.
Now I have cure for his problems.
Do you have cure for mine?
All right. So you got this off Oliver's phone?
- 5 minutes ago. Yeah. - Any clues?
Wait. Look at this face.
I was trying really hard not to.
What is that?
If we can analyze the facial rash,
we might be able to diagnose the poison.
And find the right cure. On it.
Anatoly said Tarkov has maybe 3 hours.
Yeah. That sounds bout right.
Got it! Tetrodotoxin.
- That's a neurotoxin. - Yeah.
"Inhibits the firing of action potentials,
"preventing the nervous system
"from carrying messages and muscles from flexing
in response to nervous stimulation."
I have no idea what you just said, but that doesn't sound good.
- Is there a cure? - Yeah. They should have
something down at Starling General.
That's great. So all we have to do is get it to him
before the poison takes over his entire body.
- John. - Starling General. I'm on it.
John, I'm coming with you.
Administer this to the patient,
and it will neutralize the TCCD poison.
I don't want to know what this is for, do I?
How long will it take to reverse the effects?
Starts working immediately,
but I'd say 72 hours until a full recovery.
Thank you, Doctor.
And, um, how are you feeling?
I feel fine.
Excuse me. I have a patient.
Keep taking those pain meds.
Yes, ma'am.
It seems like you have another chance to lie to me again.
I'm not lying.
I'm telling you this is none of your business.
I am out in the field with you at less than 100%.
This is damn well my business,
and it's Oliver's.
What doesn't he know?
On Lian Yu, Felicity and I got caught in one of the explosions.
I thought you guys were fine.
Felicity was.
I caught some shrapnel.
And didn't tell anybody?
Thea was comatose, Samantha dead.
I was low-priority.
John, that was 5 months ago.
Dr. Schwartz said I have nerve damage.
Degenerative.
That's why you haven't been pulling your gun.
Dinah, I have this handled.
Yeah? You should tell that to Rene.
He ended up in the hospital
because you couldn't even get a single shot off.
It's just a tremor.
I can manage it.
I'm a soldier, Dinah.
Soldiers push through.
So, what, I'm just supposed to lie to everybody now
just like you've been doing?
You have to do whatever you have to do,
but I'm asking you, please...
Will you trust me on this one?
We should get going.
I know Python.
The supervillain?
No, no, no. The programming language.
Look. Maybe you could send some of your freelance coding my way.
Look. I think that would be a waste
of your prodigious talents, Felicity.
You are a-- son of a bitch.
Not really a son, Curtis. More of a--
No, no. Talking about this.
I revised your photo analysis algorithm and got back this.
What? That's impossible.
Data analysis doesn't lie, Felicity.
Question is what do we do with it?
What's that? Come on. No more bombshells.
I can't handle anymore for the rest of the night.
No. It's not a bombshell, Curtis.
It might just be the key to the Bratva's location.
- What are you doing here? - Working obviously.
What are you doing here?
Felicity and Curtis are working on locating Tarkov.
He has maybe an hour left.
So why aren't you home with William?
Sorry if I hit a nerve.
When have you ever been sorry about hitting a nerve?
That's a fair point.
Speaking of William.
Yeah?
We received a person of interest list from Agent Watson.
She wants to interrogate my son?
He's an alibi and probably not a very good liar.
Absolutely not. She's not going anywhere near him.
I don't think that's up to you.
I'm gonna use everything single thing in my power
to keep him as far away from this as possible.
This--
this kid has been through enough.
All right. Um, Lance told me about what happened at school.
Kids are mean.
He's not worried about bullies.
He's worried about me.
He thinks I'm gonna make him an orphan.
- Damn. - told him--
I said, "that will not happen.
I will always come back."
I have never lied to my kid before.
You know...I'm not exactly father of the year,
but...white lies are kind of like
an important parental tool.
I remember telling Zoe that she came from a cloud.
I really hope her mom set her straight on that one.
So help me with this.
He do I reconcile that he's right?
Because every time that I'm in the field,
there's a chance I don't come back
and that he's alone,
and now you're telling me that he's
gonna have to lie to an FBI Agent
so that he doesn't lose his father to prison?
Ahem.
We have Anatoly's location.
All right. You go out the back entrance.
I'll lose them.
Rene, are you good to get back in the field?
Hells, yeah.
All right.
Team's in position.
You sure this is the place?
Whoa! I am so insulted right now!
Easy. It's just that an abandoned shipyard
doesn't feel like Anatoly's speed.
Yeah. Well, neither does being a complete jerk.
People change. The problem is this place
is massive, so I can't pinpoint
the location of the hostage
even with satellite.
Figure we'll split up.
I distributed the antidote
so whoever gets to Tarkov first can inject him.
You ok?
Yeah, I'm fine. Let's do this.
If one of us spots Tarkov, we should have a signal.
Yeah. I was gonna go with something like, "I see him,"
or maybe even, "Hey. Over there."
It's not terribly original but effective.
What about if we spot the Bratva?
How about heads-up?
Heads-up!
- You ok? - Look out!
Unh!
I asked for 20 million specifically
because I knew you had it.
You trade this man's life for new police station?
Not exactly.
I do not think you understand how
this whole rescue thing works.
No. I think I do.
Some sort of antidote. Very clever.
Now step away from him, Anatoly.
He's not part of this.
I made him part of this.
And I never got my money.
What the hell has happened to you?
Not even Gregor would have done that.
Yes, he would have.
You never saw because you were too naive.
You still are.
We were friends.
Yes, but I see how you treat your friends.
No, Anatoly, no.
This is on you.
You used to be an honorable man!
I am an honorable man.
Did I have bomb planted in your son's school?
Did I have him kidnapped, tortured?
No, because even though we stand apart,
I am still good man.
I wonder what would happen to William
if you ran afoul of someone who's not good.
Anatoly!
Don't you move.
Don't bluff.
We have been here before.
We both know you will not kill me.
Why did you leak that picture of me?
As Kapiushon? I did not.
I told you I am honorable man.
Thank you for agreeing to meet.
I can always make time for the subject of my investigation,
but I should advise you have a lawyer present.
Why do I need a lawyer? I haven't done anything wrong.
You know the kind of person who says that?
- No. - The kind that needs a lawyer.
Heh heh heh.
Agent Watson, if you feel the need to investigate me,
I am more than happy to open up my entire life to you
with the exception of my son.
He's off limits.
You're aware that telling a FBI Agent
how to conduct their investigation is obstruction of justice?
If I really am the man that you think I am,
how far do you think such a man would go
to keep his son from being scrutinized by the FBI?
Oh. Ms. Watson?
A little busy here.
There's something on the news that you need to see.
Channel 52 just received exclusive evidence
which conclusively establishes that the photograph
of Mayor Queen as the Green Arrow
was digitally doctored.
This is the second time that Mayor Queen has faced
allegations of being a vigilante,
and twice he has been exonerated.
Lucky you.
Not really.
Like I said, I'm not the man you think I am.
No, Mr. Queen. I think you are,
and if you think this means I'm dropping my investigation,
then you're the one who's mistaken.
You should do whatever it is you have to.
...the last 48 hours.
The evidence received by channel 52
showing that Mr. Queen's face had been placed
on the Green Arrow's body was received earlier today
from an unknown source.
- Nailed it! - You know, I don't want
to sound arrogant, but we may very well be
the smartest human beings on the planet.
Oh, well, it's not arrogant if it is accurate.
Heh heh. True that.
And you still find the time to look bummed out. Crazy.
I mean, our photo analysis algorithm was right, right?
- Yes. - The photo of Oliver
was doctored, so--
So what is the problem?
So who would want to frame Oliver for being the Green Arrow?
Wow! Way to kill the mood.
- Sorry. - No. Listen.
That is future us' problem.
I'm not gonna, like, let you take away
my buzz right now.
Ok. Present us is only worried
about you quitting your nobody-told-about job.
When are you gonna let that go?
When you go into business with me.
I'm sorry. Go into what with you?
- Wait. What? - Ok. Work with me on this.
We work so well together.
Ok. The photographic analysis algorithm is just one
of many in a long list of amazing tech that
you and I have collaborated on.
Think about all the good we could do,
all the cool stuff we could do,
all the cool things we could make!
Please don't say no.
- Yes! - Oh, thank God.
Good because I already filed the paperwork.
Heh. Oh, man. This is so cool.
We'll be like Woz and Jobs,
like, back in '76.
Wait. Who's Woz, and who's Jobs?
- Shotgun! Jobs! - Shotgun! Jobs!
Hey.
Can we talk for a second?
There's nothing to talk about.
We both know that's not true, Dinah.
What do we both know?
I need you to say it.
You nearly got killed last night
because you couldn't rely on me.
Because you're compromised.
I know.
Things just got worse than I was willing to admit.
That's ok,
but what are you gonna do about it?
Tell Oliver.
Go from there.
You're home early.
So I am.
Hoping to make that more of a regular thing
if that's ok with you.
Whatever.
I would like to apologize.
For what?
For making you a promise
I wasn't 100% sure I could keep.
You were right, and I was wrong.
Raisa said you have a hard time admitting when you're wrong.
You have no idea.
Buddy, I heard what you said in the limo,
and I hear you,
but I also meant what I said.
I--I am going to do everything in my power
forever to make sure that never end up alone in this world,
and I know that you think that that's not up to me,
and that's a fair, smart point,
which is why I think I've found a way
so that maybe it can be.
- How? - I'm working on the details.
I want you to believe me when I say that
I am trying to make it happen, all right?
One more thing.
I promise
that I will do my best every single day
to be the very best father that I can be
and--and that I know how to be.
That promise is 100%.
Ok.
You want to play with me?
What is this?
Honestly, I don't know.
All you got to do is just button mash
and see whoever can win.
- All right. - Want to try?
- Yeah. - All right.
- Thanks for meeting me. - Yeah. Well, I wanted to talk
to you about a few things, and--
What is it, Oliver?
I'd like you to do something for me.
If it's suit up as Green Arrow,
Felicity and I already talked about it,
and we don't think it's enough to take the heat off of you.
That's not why I'm asking.
You're serious.
Every time that I'm out there as the Green Arrow,
I'm a target of the FBI,
of the Bratva,
of the threats that are out there
and the threats that are undoubtedly coming...
And on my own, I can take it.
I'm not on my own anymore.
I cannot be responsible for my son losing
the only parent that he has left.
Oliver.
Star City needs the Green Arrow.
It just can't be me anymore...
So I'd like it to be you.
