Last season on "Arrow"...

ROY: Star City's seen better days.

DINAH: They built a wall.

FELICITY: Star City is a
wall-free zone once again.

Restoring The Glades won't be easy.

FELICITY: The four of you are
the heroes that this city needs.

We're stepping back.
We're leaving Star City.

What now?

MONITOR: A crisis is imminent.

What does the multiverse require?

We seek to prevent the inevitable.

What are you not telling me?

MONITOR: I've seen your future, Oliver,

inexorable and unavoidable.

I have watched you die.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

MONITOR: Among the many
misconceptions humanity holds dear is

the fallacy that all
beings are created equal.

[CONVERSATION IN MANDARIN]

MONITOR: In truth, there
are those who are greater.

They are called heroes.

MONITOR: But even among heroes,
there are different echelons.

The highest belong to
those known as the paragons.

And they are the only
hope of all creation.

Oliver?

Hi, Mom.

Ohh. Ohh.

I missed you so much.

Oh, my beautiful boy. My beautiful boy.

[MOIRA SOBBING SOFTLY]

[KISS]

Your room is exactly as you left it.

I never had the heart
to change anything.

[HEAVY SIGH]

I can't tell you how
great it feels to be home.

Oliver, it's really you.

Hi, Malcolm.

Welcome home.

Okay, what... where's... Where's Walter?

He sold his shares of the company

when the Gambit went down.

Okay. Okay.

What'd I tell you?

Yachts suck.

I knew it. I knew you were
too stubborn to be dead.

[CHUCKLING]

Tommy.

Come on, man. Why are
you looking at me like

I'm the one who's been gone a decade?

I just missed you.

Where's Thea?

Sweetheart, um, why don't you settle in?

I mean, you must be exhausted.

Yeah, but I'd like to see Thea.

Oliver, when you and
your father disappeared...

It wasn't easy on her.

She took things really hard.

And there is this new
drug called Vertigo.

- I swear to you...
- Tommy.

I tried my best to look...

Tommy, Tommy, look,
it wasn't your fault.

What wasn't his fault?

Thea, on her 18th birthday...

She overdosed.

OLIVER: Raisa's famous chicken Marsala?

I used to make this for
William all the time.

Who's William?

TOMMY: Oh, I know.

He was, like, your Wilson
on the island, right?

Something like that.

How did you manage to survive
by yourself all that time?

It's a long story.

TOMMY: So, uh, things you missed

while you were gone.

I got married and divorced twice.

Ah, let's see. What
other gossip did you miss?

Our parents getting married.

- It's, um...
- Complicated.

MOIRA: Oliver, I know
this must all be a lot.

Well, mom, my apologies, but
I actually am a little tired,

and I think I'm gonna
head up to my bedroom.

Thank you for dinner.

[THUNDER]

[KNOCK KNOCK]

Hey.

Your bed has been made.

And there are fresh
towels in the bathroom.

Thank you.

I know the changes must be overwhelming,

and you must feel like you're

on a different planet or something.

You could say that.

It couldn't have been easy
all those years on that island.

Sounds like it wasn't that easy here.

Now, you're not the same
man as when you left.

And don't take this the wrong way,

but I get the sense that it's...

it's for the better.

I'm not so sure.

Mom, when we were growing up,

if you had to leave me
and Thea to protect us...

Would you have done it?

Oliver, whether right or wrong,

everything I've ever done
was to protect my children.

It's all a parent can do.

And someday, hmm,
when you have children,

you'll understand.

Mom, I'm so sorry.

Ohh. Ohh.

Everything's okay.

You're home. You're safe.

Close your eyes, sweetheart.

Get some rest, okay?

All right.

[COMPUTERS BEEPING]

[TYPING]

[HISS, CLICK]

You have failed this city.

Hyah!

Stand down.

Oliver, what the hell are you doing

on my Earth?

Showoff.

Jealous?

Nostalgic.

It seems Adrian and I
have the same design sense.

If by that you mean Felicity, yeah.

But this is my bunker.

And chase?

He's one of the good guys, literally.

And you're helping him in Star City.

Starling City. And he's helping me.

We make a pretty good team, actually.

[SCOFFS]

Not that kind of a team.

So how much small talk
do I have to endure

before you tell me what
it is exactly you're doing

on my Earth?

Yeah, it's a long story.

Why don't you start by telling me

what you were doing on Lian Yu?

You know, if you wanted to
pretend to be back from the dead,

you could've just showed up in town.

I wasn't given a choice.

I was sent to your Earth,
and I arrived on Lian Yu.

Sent? Sent by who?

You get him to tell you
the truth yet, pretty bird?

And nothing but.

Seems Mr. Queen survived the Gambit

and has spent the last 12 years
on an island called Lian Yu.

That means "purgatory" if I'm not mistaken.

It still doesn't
explain what you're doing

running around in my hood.

I needed an identity to work under,

and yours seemed convenient.

Sorry.

What were you doing at Queen-Merlyn?

Not killing those scientists,

if that's what you are implying.

Well, I'm using Laurel's
equipment to compare

the metallurgy of your arrows
to the ones that we found

in those men and women, so we'll see.

[COMPUTER CHIRPING]

Speak of the devil.

Literally.

LAUREL: The Dark Archer?
Name's a bit on the nose,

but it's descriptive.

OLIVER: Dark costume, jade pendant.

It's Malcolm Merlyn.

- Yeah, we thought so, too.
- Ruled him out months ago.

It's Malcolm Merlyn.

And he killed those
scientists for a reason.

Where are you going?

I'm gonna have a
conversation with my stepdad.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

It never ceases to impress...

Humanity's capacity for invention.

Hmm. Infinite number of worlds,

and not a single one where
man fails to emerge from caves

and hold dominion over the Earth.

What are you doing here?

Reminding you what you are doing here,

which does not include interfering

in the events of this Earth.

I have no intention of interfering.

Well, you're not here to
confront Malcolm Merlyn

with your suspicion that
he is the Dark Archer.

Well, I went to applied
sciences last night

to retrieve the Dwarf Star particles

just like you asked me to.

You make it sound like a trifle.

Those specific particles
can only be found

on this Earth out of a multitude.

My point is that when I arrived,
Malcolm had already stolen them.

You know what might help?

If I actually knew why I was after them.

That I have tasked you
should be reason enough.

Or have you come to doubt your
commitment to this mission?

No, I have not.

At Harris Consolidated, we see the
wall coming down as an opportunity.

For the criminals of Star
City to rob The Glades blind?

To reunite the city.

I don't think people in
The Glades got that memo

'cause last I checked, crime's up 300%

since the wall went down.

MAN: There's an old saying...
There are 3 kinds of liars:

Liars, damn liars, and statisticians.

You're focusing on The Glades
to the exclusion of Star City

while net, there's been a
citywide reduction in crime.

And we have the vigilantes who brought
down the wall in the first place

to thank for that.

Hear that, guys? We're famous.

Really? 'Cause it sounds
like we got a long way to go.

Which is why we're here, to make sure

nothing happens to Mr. Vasquez.

Whoa. And where do
you think you're going?

Movement outside. Gonna check it out.

ZOE: Negative.

Don't break perimeter.

Relax. It'll take a sec.

Just like Pennytown.

What was that, Mr. Harris?

Uh... oh. I... I was just
saying that the unification money

put into Pennytown prevented
a potential disaster

because we listened to each other.

Well, she's either
ignoring you, William...

For the second time this month.

Or the comm systems are failing.

For the fifth time this month.

It's a new era.

Growing pains are to be expected. Heh!

ZOE: Mia, do you copy?

Excuse me, miss.

Mr. Vasquez doesn't want any
guests wandering the property.

This neighborhood just...
just isn't safe anymore.

Sorry. I just, uh, wanted a look around.

ZOE: Mia.

[STATIC ON COMMS]

Allow me to escort you back in.

We recently completed
a total I.T. upgrade.

500 miles worth of
high-capacity fiber optics

married to an underground server farm.

Is something like that
for applied sciences?

We had a small incident
there last night.

Very unfortunate.

The police are investigating.

Oh, that's too bad. I
hope no one was hurt.

So do you think it had
anything to do with the, um,

the Dwarf... the Dwarf Star project?

How do you know about that?

Oh, the Internet. Heh!

I didn't know you had Wi-Fi on Lian Yu.

No, no, no. I wish. I stayed
up late at the house last night,

doing my research, catching up.

Well, the press coverage
hasn't been particularly kind.

Everyone wants to make
the Dwarf Star project

out to be something sinister,

but it's just an alternative
energy source project,

completely benign.

I suppose everything's a
matter of interpretation.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Now, do you think that
someone could show me

to the most important room on this tour?

And, uh, what would that be?

The bathroom.

It's supposed to be red.

Excuse me.

Nothing. Sorry. I'm
looking for Felicity Smoak.

Ha ha! Like Felicity
Smoak would slum it in I.T.

Instead of running Smoak Tech.

Oh, good for her. Sorry.

Who does run the I.T. department?

OLIVER: There you are.

[CLANG]

[STAMMERS]

[GROANS]

Malcolm Merlyn, you
have failed this city.

I... I... don't know what
you think I did, but I...

Aah!

[ARROW FLIES]

Oh, God.

Get out of here!

Oh, no.

DINAH: So that's your story.

An Archer in black flew
in and attacked the hood.

Hmm?

Well, who is he? Why did he do that?

I don't know. Find him, and you ask.

First there was an attack
on applied sciences.

Now there's a war between
two masks in your own office.

And your point, Sergeant?

My point is that I highly
doubt this is a coincidence.

TOMMY: Well, obviously not.

Somebody is clearly
targeting my father's company.

Right. Except from his statement,

your father claimed the hood

was targeting him.

It's funny. He doesn't
usually go after the good guys.

RENE: All right. Interview's over.

Anything else you need, Sergeant Drake,

you can either go through
me or Mr. Merlyn's attorney.

Perfect. I needed something
to look forward to.

TOMMY: She's got a point.

It's a lot of drama
for the past 24 hours.

Maybe we should reconsider
Oliver's welcome home party.

No, no, no, no. It'll just look like

we're trying to cover something up.

Yeah. And I missed tequila.

Oliver.

I want you to meet John Diggle.

He'll be accompanying you from now on.

Er... no. Sorry. No. I
don't need a babysitter, Mom.

No, this is something that I need.

Yeah.

So what do I call you?

Diggle. Dig if you want.

[DOOR HANDLE IS LIFTED]

Sorry, Oliver. Fool me once.

- OLIVER: How did you find me?
- JOHN: It wasn't easy.

It was like you disappeared
off the face of the Earth...

Until Felicity figured out
that it was only our Earth.

Still, John, it's not like
you can just charter a jet.

Cisco let me borrow it.

And now if I'm done
answering your questions,

I have a few of my own.

- Can't talk about it.
- Can't or won't?

You know, Oliver, it's interesting

that we're revisiting when we first met.

You going at it all
alone is like deja vu.

I thought you and I were past that.

This is new. It's bigger.

And I'm not going to ask you
to take the risk it involves.

Oliver, that's the thing
about being brothers.

You never, ever have to ask.

Can you just believe me when
I tell you this is different?

Yeah. Felicity told
me. Some godlike being

talking about the end of the universe?

What didn't she tell me, Oliver?

A crisis is coming, John.

He's seen what happens.

He's watched me die.

Thank you for not making a
fuss about coming back in.

I wouldn't want you and your friends

to miss out on the party.

[BODY ARMOR RATTLING]

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

[YELLS]

WILLIAM: Don't engage the Deathstrokes.

They're a distraction.

Guys! No one listens to the tech guy.

Fine. I guess I'll do it.

William.

You okay?

Yeah. Mia, you okay?

They took Vasquez.

The Deathstroke Gang.

Screw them.

Who's the one playing security guard?

He knew who I was.

CONNOR: He knows who we all are.

What? How?

He's my brother.

JULIETTA: ♪ Balla per me... ♪

[PARTYGOERS CHEER]

♪ We learn to dance ♪

♪ But we are screaming in a blow dryer ♪

♪ Pretty girl in the red dress... ♪

Well, hello. You will be pleased to hear

that I made sure the bar
was stocked with Pinot Noir.

[WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY]

I'll be right back.

JULIETTA: ♪ Balla per me bimbo bianco ♪

You know, the party's back that way.

[SIGHS]

I don't have time for this, John.

Oliver...

Has it occurred to you that
whatever happens in this crisis

happens because you push the
people closest to you away?

So you're in a forward area.

Somebody throws a grenade right
into the middle of your platoon.

What do you do?

I jump on it. I contain the blast.

That's what I'm doing.

I can't prevent whatever it is
that's going to happen to me,

but I will be damned if I'm
going to put other people at risk.

And I will be damned

if I just let you go
gently into that good night.

Okay.

All right.

You always fall for this move.

[CAR ALARM IS DISARMED]

Wow. That Lian Yu must have
been one hell of a place...

Oliver.

So were you ever really gone?

Because it looks like
you've been running around

in a certain green hood.

Like you've been running
around in a black one?

Heh. Ah, Ollie, you never should've
gotten yourself involved in this.

[DART FLIES]

[THUD]

[THUNDER]

Hope I didn't hurt you.

Leave us.

So I've been thinking it over,

and you really were on Lian Yu,

because if you had been here, you
would've been protecting our sister.

So the question is,

why are you running
around in the hood's hood?

- Doesn't matter.
- Yes, it does!

The hood is running around
this city, thinking that

he's saving it, and nothing can save it.

You don't understand the cancer

that has taken over this city.

Oh, my God. This is the undertaking.

You stole the Dwarf Star
particles because you want...

to destroy The Glades and
get vengeance for Thea.

How could you know that?

And what happened to you on that island?

What happened to you
while I was on the island?

While you were gone, this
city has been rotting.

It can't be saved!

That's not true, Tommy.

I have seen Starling City come back

from darker moments than this.

It can be redeemed. You can be redeemed.

You don't understand what I've seen.

You don't know

how I found our sister.

Every time I close my eyes, I
see her body lying there, cold,

on a dirty floor.

So I swore that I would
get vengeance on The Glades

for what it did to Thea,

and I am not going to
let her down. Not again!

That's not gonna make
you feel better, Tommy.

I don't care about feeling better.

I just want The Glades to suffer.

You're a better man than this.

That was a different me.

Good-bye, Oliver.

Tonight was a disaster.

You mean you were. JJ never
would've gotten past us

if you hadn't abandoned your post.

Oh, you think this is my fault?

What I think is that you
need to stop going rogue

and start acting like
you're part of this team.

Hey, guys, can we save
it for the Deathstrokes?

Speaking of your evil brother
and his masked maniacs,

we're gonna talk about that, right?

Wrong. What do you got?

Nothing good. Ever since we brought
down the wall, your broth...

The Deathstroke Gang has
really upped their game.

They've amassed more territory
and power than ever before.

MIA: Unintended consequences.

Yeah. But that doesn't explain
why they went after Vasquez.

ZOE: Vasquez is one of The
Glades' wealthiest citizens.

And maybe the deathstrokes
plan to extort him.

Yeah, that or they're
planning to ransom him off.

MIA: Either way, this guy's
screwed if we don't find him soon.

WILLIAM: Way ahead of you.

Satellite imaging indicates
that the Deathstrokes

have assumed control of the
old Galaxy One headquarters.

It could be where
they're holding Vasquez.

ZOE: If he's even still alive.

CONNOR: There's only one
way to find out. Suit up.

Let me guess. When mom and O.G.
Team Arrow anointed us version 2.0,

you expected things to
go a little better, right?

I'm sure they had their
growing pains, too.

[HEELS FALL TO FLOOR]

And, look, I know that working

and playing well with others is still

a new concept for you, but do you think

you could just follow
Connor's lead this one time?

I mean, the guy is a Knightwatch Agent.

He eats, sleeps, and
breathes tactical operations.

Yeah. And our target is his own brother.

I believe that fate brought the
four of us together for a reason

just like it did our parents

when they decided to save this city.

Now it's our turn.

We don't want to mess it up, do we?

Uh!

[GROANS]

[GUNSHOTS]

How did you find me?

- Tracking your shoe.
- Really?

Just kidding. That
was the way I found you

last time this happened, remember?

Yeah. Yeah. It's not the only
history that's repeating yourself.

Tommy's planning his
very own undertaking.

Don't worry. We'll stop him.

John, I appreciate the assist,

but I still have to do this on my own.

Right, because you think
you have to die, right?

No. I know I'm gonna die.

And I know that I don't
have to accept that.

If I let you help me, you will
get hurt or you will get killed.

And it will be because of me.

- You don't know that.
- I do know that.

Because everyone else in my
life is either dead or alone.

Look at the Earth that we're on.

I've been gone 12 years.

My mother's alive. Tommy's alive.

Laurel's alive.

Thea is dead.

And, yes, Tommy's alive.

But he's trying another undertaking
with Rene and Dinah helping,

who, if you haven't noticed,
are very bad people here.

Oliver, this world isn't better.

It's much, much worse.

You know why?

Because you weren't in it.

I've known you long enough to
know I can't talk you out of this.

You better have a good plan.

[PISTOL IS LOADED]

Oh, look who it is,
and you brought a friend

to my secret bunker.

I've been here before.

Oh, great. You're here, too.

Uh, Adrian, this is John Diggle.

He's my... bodyguard.

You need a bodyguard?

He's not a bodyguard.

And I thought you didn't need our help.

I've been wrong before. The Dark
Archer stole Dwarf Star particles

and is planning to use them
to level The Glades tonight.

And you know that how?

OLIVER: Because I was just with him.

Tommy Merlyn is the Dark Archer.

Are you sure?

He blames The Glades for
what happened to Thea.

If you wanted to level
an entire neighborhood,

how would you do it?

JOHN: I'd use an earthquake machine.

That sounds like science fiction to me.

And Merlyn stole Dwarf Star particles,

which would make for a very real weapon.

Overlaying the blast radius
with a map of The Glades

should allow us to pinpoint
its optimal location.

He's like you, Curtis, and
Felicity all rolled into one.

I could only narrow it
down to 4 square blocks.

So we split up, find it on foot.

No, we don't. Thea died in The Glades.

We find out where, we find Tommy.

What are you, some kind of psychic?

Maybe I'm just 10 steps ahead of you.

ADRIAN: 4587 Burke,

favorite hangout of The
Glades' worst drug dealers.

Good. That's where we head.

OLIVER AND ADRIAN: Suit up.

Tommy could be anywhere inside.

Start with the ground
floor. Work our way up.

Let's do this.

[MAN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

[BONE CRACKS]

You should've stayed on that island.

OLIVER: Back on my Earth,
you had a better teacher.

[CLANG]

You don't have to do this.

I was thinking the same thing.

This is not what Thea would have wanted.

That's funny. You know
what she used to say?

The dead don't want anything.

It's one of the benefits of being dead.

Tommy.

[ARROW BEEPS]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[TOMMY GROANING]

You can't. It's encrypted
by my personal code.

You can't break it in time.

You can.

I know how devastating it must have been

to lose Thea because we're only as good

as the people we have in our lives.

I lost people, too, Tommy.

I lost people closer to me

than I could possibly explain to you.

Every one of those losses
brings with it a choice

between darkness and light.

Make the right choice.

Are you gonna kill
thousands of innocent people,

or are you gonna be
the man I know you are?

[DEVICE POWERING DOWN]

That was a pretty good speech.

[GAS HISSES]

As agreed. The Dwarf Star particles
that power Merlyn's weapon.

Thank you.

And now you're gonna tell me
what you're gonna do with them?

Not destroy a city. Don't worry.

You're from a parallel
universe, aren't you?

The hood from another reality?

How did you know that?

Bruce Wayne once told me that
if you eliminate the impossible,

whatever remains, however
improbable, must be the truth.

Well, as the hood from
a parallel universe,

may I offer you some advice?

Change "The Hood" to
Green Arrow. Trust me.

Why do I get the sense that you guys

won't be sticking around
for a victory drink?

We have to get back home to our Earth.

This city's lucky to have
a hero like you in it.

Wow. That might be the nicest
thing you've ever said to me.

Thank you.

You take care of yourself...

both of you.

You okay?

I'm alive.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Well, it's a temporary thing, John.

Oliver, you don't know that.

And I don't know this
monitor, but what I do know,

that no one's fate is sealed.

- He saw me die.
- In the future...

Which means we can still prevent this.

Oliver, you're not alone in this.

Well, not anymore.

Thanks for having my back.

Always. Now, can we go home now?

Just one more thing I got to do.

[CONNOR GRUNTS]

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]

We'd better find Vasquez fast.

CONNOR: Where to, William?

Top floor, southwest corner office.

And JJ's got at least 4 friends.

The second I walk through
that door, JJ's gonna try

to run a sword through my chest.

But that should keep
him occupied long enough

for you to rescue Vasquez.

Whoa. You're using yourself as bait?

Yeah. And it'll work, too. Trust me.

Whatever you want, I'll give it to you.

Please stop.

[MOANING]

The codes.

This better be everything.

It is. I swear.

[ELEVATOR BELL RINGS]

Okay.

What's up, JJ?

- Miss me?
- Kill his ass.

Come on. Let's get you out of here.

You think that you can save this city?

I got news for you. I own this city now.

Mia!

I am so sorry, okay? I underestimated him.

It will never happen again.

No, it won't, because from now on,

we're gonna do things my way.

Hey.

Hey.

You okay?

I don't know.

I haven't known
anything since Thea died.

I understand that.

I don't know, Ollie.

Just I... I can't shake this feeling...

That our sister would still be alive

if you had...

If you had just been here.

I've made my own mistakes.

MOIRA: Oh, God.

MALCOLM: Tommy, are you okay?

Don't worry. We're gonna
get you out of here.

I am so sorry.

I have to go. Mom?

Bye, Mom.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Hey.

I'll see you at the house.

Okay.

- All good?
- Let's go home.

MAN: What's going on?

[PHONES RINGING]

WOMAN: My computer went down!

[RADIO CHATTER]

LAUREL: Oh, good. You're still here.

What's going on?

The city's under attack.

By who?

[SHOCK WAVE THUDDING]

LAUREL: We have to get
the hell out of here.

- JOHN: And go where?
- OLIVER: Home. Cisco's device.

- Oliver?
- Mom?

Dig, you got to go. Go now!

What's happening?

Oliver? Oliver!

Laurel, come on.
