From 1.01 "Pilot", on the island, Oliver had his hair and beard grown, wearing a green hood, filthy and weak.

Oliver: (voice over) "My name is Oliver Queen."

Jill had really long hair, filthy and weak.

Jill: (voice over) "I'm Jill Wright."

Jill was running through the woods, using a knife to stab into a tree and pull herself up into the branches.

Jill: (voice over from 1.01 Pilot) "I've been stranded here for six years. I've dreamt of my rescue every cold black night since then."

Oliver reached the arrows on the beach, using Jill's knife to strike up a flame, shooting a bonfire to strike up the fire.

Oliver: (voice over from 1.01 Pilot) "I've been here for five years. I have had only one thought. One goal. Survive."

From 1.01 "Pilot", on the news, the only thing that the man on the news channel could talk about was Oliver and Jill's return. "Oliver Queen is alive, along with a woman by the name of Jill Wright."

From 1.01 "Pilot", outside the Queen Mansion, Oliver and Jill were talking.

"My dad asked me to save this city," Oliver told her. "To right his wrongs. I will."

From 1.01 "Pilot", in the hideout, Oliver and Jill were talking after he stitched her wound.

"I'm not doing this just for you," Jill told him.

Oliver nodded. "You're doing this for your family."

Jill sighed, looking down, shaking her head. "I swore that I wouldn't let what happened to them happen to anyone else. And to do that, I need to put these guys in their places."

From 1.06 "Legacies", in the hideout, Oliver and Jill were training at the hideout with two metal short staffs. Oliver and shirtless. Jill was in workout clothes, including a sports bra.Oliver tried to hit her with both of his staffs in a blur of motion. Jill used both of hers to block the moves just as fast.

Jill: (voice over) "But to do that without endangering the people closest to us..."

From 1.03 "Lone Gunmen", outside the auction house, Jill/Sapphire turned around to follow the laser light up to the building across the street, glaring.

Jill: (voice over) "I have to be someone else."

From 1.06 "Legacies", in the hideout, Oliver and Jill were training at the hideout with two metal short staffs. Oliver and shirtless. Jill was in workout clothes, including a sports bra. Oliver swung both of his up over their heads, trying to come down on her. Jill raised both of hers in an X shape to block both of his.

Oliver: (voice over) "I have to be..."

From 1.01 "Pilot", in the night club's basement, Oliver/Arrow stood next to Jill/Sapphire's bedside, lowering his hood.

Oliver: (voice over) "Something else."

➣ ➣

From 1.01 'Pilot", there was a raging storm over the ocean.

Thea: (voice over) "Previously on Sapphire Arrow."

From 1.16 "Dead to Rights", in Laurel's Apartment, Laurel opened the door, revealing Dinah outside, looking at her in surprise. "Mom?"

Fro 1.17 "The Huntress Returns", in Big Belly Burger, the Lance family were talking.

Lance looked at Dinah. "What are you here?"

"I believe Sara's still alive," Dinah told them.

Lance, Laurel and Jessica sat down.

"So you don't actually have any proof that she's alive?" Lance asked.

Dinah took out a picture. "I have proof." They showed them a picture of a girl wearing a baseball cap that hid her face. "Doesn't it look just like Sara?"

From 1.08 "Vendetta", in Walter's office, Walter sat at his desk.

Felicity stood in front of him. She pulled out a piece of paper, handing it to Walter. "I did manage to find one thing." Walter took the paper, looking at the same symbol that was on the journals with the lists of names. "Does that symbol mean something to you, sir?"

From 1.08 "Vendetta", in Moira's room, Walter opened Moira's journal to see the symbol on the front cover on the inside.

From 1.15 "Dodger", in the living room of the Queen Mansion, Moira and Frank Chen were talking.

"I want to get out," Moira told him.

From 1.15 "Dodger", on the street, Moira was meeting with Kira and Karma by their cars.

"So, how can we be of assistance?" Kira asked.

"Malcolm Merlyn," Moira told them. Kira and Karma looked at her curiously in confusion. Moira looked at them seriously. "I want you to kill him for me."

From 1.16 "Dead to Rights", in Malcolm's office, Malcolm had been shot, lying on the floor weakly.

From 1.16 "Dead to Rights", in Malcolm's hospital room, Malcolm was in bed.

Moira was standing with him.

"We have a traitor in our midst," Malcolm told her. "He just made his last mistake."

Moira looked at him nervously, expressionlessly.

From 1.17 "The Huntress Returns", outside the Bertinelli Safe House, Oliver/Arrow aimed an arrow at Helena/Huntress. "Enough!'

Jessica walked out of the house, aiming her gun at them. "Freeze!" 

Oliver slowly put his bow down. Jill slowly put her swords down.

Helena ducked to the ground next to the shotgun, aiming at Jessica, shooting.

"No!" Jill told her. Jessica was shot in the chest, but was saved by the Kevlar vest, falling unconscious. Jill ran to check on Jessica. "Jessica?"

Helena smirked, grabbing her crossbow, shooting Jill in the stomach.

"Jill!" Oliver told her. Jill gasped in pain, holding the arrow in her stomach, groaning. Helena grabbed her stuff, running away, leaving. Oliver ran toward Jill, catching her as she fell. "Hey! Jill."

Jill was already drifting in and out of consciousness.

From 1.17 "The Huntress Returns", in Jessica's hospital room, Jessica was lying in bed in the usual robe.

Lance, Laurel and Dinah walked in.

"Hey," Laurel told her.

Jessica was surprised to see them all there together. "Hey."

"We're not mad," Laurel told her. "Believe it or not, you're the one that's bringing us back together again."

"Yeah?" Jessica asked. "Well, if I had known all I had to do was get shot and a shattered femur, I would've done that a long time ago."

They chuckled softly.

Day One

Night - Verdant - Basement

Oliver, Jill, Felicity, John and Justin were in the hideout during the early morning.

Jill was mostly healed from the crossbow arrow to the stomach by Helena, but still taking it a little easy, training by holding myself up above the floor, in the ceiling bars, in a sports bar and leggings and tennis shoes, hair pulled back into a ponytail.

Felicity was sitting at the computers, watching the news on the screens.

John, Justin and Oliver stood behind her, watching.

A man was reporting. "Lawyers for John Nickles spoke to the press today. They say they're pleased the D.A declined to indict their client on charges stemming from the recent fire in one of Nickel's buildings."

Oliver looked up at Jill. "John Nickel is one of the wealthiest real estate developers in Starling City. He's also one of the dirtiest. That building that burnt down last night? Wiring was not up to code."

"Maybe he didn't know that," Felicity told the.

"I guess he also didn't know about the seven people who have frozen to death in his other buildings over the past three years," Oliver told them sarcastically.

Jill started to hang by one arm.

"Yeah, he's a real man of the people," John told them sarcastically.

Jill jumped down to the floor. "Not for long. The DA ignores this, and the police can't do anything because all these slums are in the Glades." She picked up Oliver's father's journal. "So tonight, Felicity, we cross Mr. Nickel's name off the list." She showed her the list. "You okay with that?"

They listened to the news. "The scene outside of the courtroom where Nickel was released this afternoon was not surprisingly tense."

"100 percent," Felicity answered. She looked at Jill. "One condition. You do not go back into the field yet until..." She pointed at the stitches that had closed her wound on her stomach. "Until this is nothing but a fading line. You don't wanna get your stitches unstitched, hemorrhage and die." She looked from Jill to Oliver, Justin and John. "You okay with that?"

"No," Jill answered the same time Oliver answered, "Yes."

"100 percent," Justin answered.

"Absolutely," John answered.

Felicity looked at Jill smugly, smiling.

Jill looked at Oliver, tilting her head.

Oliver smirked, shrugging. "Something that we all can agree on."

Oliver backed away.

"Uh, not all," Jill told him.

"Patient's vote doesn't count," Oliver told her, turning around, walking away to go get suited up.

Jill scoffed softly. "'Patient'?"

John smirked, shaking his head in amusement.

➣

Nickel's Apartment - Bedroom

Nickel was lying on the bed, watching a football game on TV. He could hear a thud and glass breaking in the distance, looking toward the door, muting the TV, standing, putting down his drink, walking toward the door.

➣

Living Room / Kitchen (adjoined room)

Nickel walked down the steps toward the kitchen counter, grabbing a knife from a block, looking around. "Hello?"

Nickel turned around. A man tackled Nickel to the floor, making him drop the knife, stepping on his wrist to prevent him from grabbing it again, dragging him away.

➣

Bedroom Balcony

Oliver/Arrow landed on the balcony in a crouch, standing, walking into the bedroom.

➣

Living Room / Kitchen

Oliver walked down the steps. He saw evidence of struggle, looking around in confusion. He saw the knife on the floor, kneeling down to pick it up, looking it over.

➣

Street - Van

The man that kidnapped Nickel, Joseph Falk / Savior shoved him into the back of the van.

Nickel was tied up and gagged.

The man closed the van doors.

➣

Verdant - Basement

Oliver had come back, still suited up, but with his hood down, telling the others that Nickel's apartment had been trashed and he hadn't been there.

"So, he was just gone?" Felicity asked.

"No," Oliver answered. "Not gone. Taken."

"Looks like Nickel was on somebody else's list, too," John told them.

"After the fire last night, it's not entirely surprising," Justin told them.

Jill took a deep breath. "Felicity, I need you to get everything you can on Nickel. Focus on his tenants, and anyone who might have filed a formal complaint against him, or... people that lost something in the fire."

"Well, it's going to be some list," Felicity told them, walking toward the computers. "I mean, slum lords are generally known for their popularity. Plus..."

Felicity looked at Oliver.

"What?" Oliver asked.

"Nothing," Felicity told him. "It's just... you went over there to be all, 'Grr, stop being bad or I'll arrow you'... and now you want to rescue him."

"I don't like the idea that somebody dangerous is out there," Oliver told them. Felicity sat at the computer, giving both Oliver and Jill a look. Oliver sighed. "Somebody else."

"Yeah, because typically, they don't show our level of restraint," Jill told them, gesturing to her stitches. "Exhibit A."

Felicity knew that Jill had a point, looking away, turning to the computer.

Jill walked toward the table.

"So, where are you going?" John asked.

Jill sighed. "I'm finding somebody else who needs a talking to."

Jill picked up Robert's journal, flipping through the pages.

"You really think that you're gonna go out there tonight?" Oliver asked. "Why don't you go home and get some rest that you've been avoiding on doing all week?"

"I'm not tired," Jill told him.

Oliver walked closer. "Then why don't you and I go get something to eat?"

Jill shook her head, flipping through the pages. "Not hungry."

Oliver took the book from Jill.

Jill looked up boredly.

"I wasn't asking," Oliver told her, closing the book, placing it down on the table.

Jill sighed, looking down.

Flashback

Night - Lian Yu

It was night on the island.

The full moon was high in the sky, mostly obscured by thick, dark clouds that loomed over the island.

Jill, Oliver and Slade were in hiding, watching the soldier camp from afar.

Jill was still radioing in to Edward. "Simple exchange. You get us a way off the island, and we'll give you the circuit board so that your missile launcher isn't just furniture."

Edward was inside his tent, pacing. "You've grown up quite a bit, Miss Wright. I'll give you that." He paused to consider for a moment. "I can get you a boat." Jill looked at Slade and Oliver. Slade nodded. "But I need time."

"I understand that it will take a few hours to get a boat to the island, Ed," Jill told him. "You need to move with some dispatch. Just get us the damn boat."

Slade nodded in approval.

Oliver smirked slightly, unable to wait to get home.

Now

Night - Roy's House - Living Room

(Song:) Hate the Taste - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Roy and Thea were sitting on the couch, making out.

There was a knock on the door, making them pull away.

"Now you want to stop?" Thea asked teasingly.

"Well, we don't all have butlers," Roy told her, standing. "You know, some of us actually have to answer our own doors."

"Oh, the horror," Thea told him sarcastically.

(Song Ends)

Roy opened the door.

A man started to walk in.

Roy stopped him.

The man looked toward Thea. "You look familiar. Did I see you on TV or something?"

"Probably," Thea answered. "I'm Thea Queen."

The man chuckled. "Yeah, right."

"Did you get it?" Roy asked.

"Tomorrow night," the man told him, handing him a bag. "Joe wants us there at 11 PM." Thea looked at the bag in confusion. "He said to be on time, Harper."

The man walked out, leaving.

Roy closed the door, walking toward Thea and the couch, putting the bag on the table.

"What's happening tomorrow at 11:00?" Thea asked.

Roy sat down next to her. "You know, I'm actually kind of focused on what's happening right now."

"Oh, okay," Thea told him.

Roy chuckled. "Yeah." They started to kiss again. Thea pulled away, picking up the bag. "No, no, Thea, don't."

Thea pulled a pistol out of the bag.

Roy took it from her.

Thea stood in surprise. "Why do you have a gun?"

"Because I'm no good with knives," Roy answered. Thea scoffed. "Look, it's just a liquor store. The guy's a creep. Trust me, he deserves it. Look, if it'll make you feel any better..." Roy unloaded the bullets onto the table. "I won't be armed. But of course, the owner won't know that, but..."

"I got you a job at my brother's club," Thea told him. "You have choices. You don't have to be a criminal."

"I'm not talking about phone bills," Roy told her. "I owe people. People with much bigger guns than this. Look, here in the Glades, this is pretty much the only solution."

Thea shook her head. "No, lots of people in the Glades live honest lives." She turned away, grabbing her purse. "Obviously not you. You're just a waste."

Thea walked toward the door. 

Roy stood. "No, Thea. Thea!"

➣

Outside

Thea walked outside.

Roy followed. "I'm going to make sure you get home okay."

"Don't bother," Thea told him, walking away, leaving.

Roy watched her go, sighing in regret and frustration.

➣

Jessica's Loft

Jessica was lying on the couch, covered up with a blanket.

Laurel was sitting next to her, making sure she was comfortable.

Dinah stood nearby, on the phone. "Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah."

Jessica was tired of her sister fussing over her. "Laurel, I'm fine."

"You were shot by a maniac," Laurel told her. "You're lucky to be alive."

Lance walked in with coffee. "Hey." He handed one of the coffee cups to Dinah. "There you go."

Lance handed the other coffee cup to Jessica.

Jessica took it, taking a drink.

Laurel looked at the table and the walls that were covered with research. "Um, what's all this?"

"Well, you asked me to look into your mother's leads on Sara, so I made some calls," Lance told them.

"It looks like you did a lot more than that," Jessica told him.

"Well, yeah, but you both said we should do this," Lance told them. "So, you know, if there's even a chance that your sister is--"

Laurel nodded. "Yeah, but--"

Dinah spoke into the phone. "Thank you." She hung up, looking at Jessica. "Sweetheart, I'm sorry about the mess." She placed her hands on Lance's shoulder. "Quentin, I just got off the phone with the consulate in Phuket. The secretary there's going to run Sara's photo against their database, see if there's a match."

Lance patted the hands that she had on his shoulder. "That's good work." Dinah turned away to drink her coffee. Jessica and Laurel were surprised by how close they were getting. Lance noticed. "What?"

"Well, I guess I just thought deep down that you were going to help Mom... accept things," Laurel answered. "Things that you, Jessie and I accepted."

Lance was nervous and confused on what to do in this situation. "Um... yeah, but..." He picked up the picture that Dinah had showed them in 1.17 The Huntress Returns. "You got to admit." He stood, showing the picture to Jessica and Laurel. "This girl, she looks a lot like Sara."

"Sara had that same cap," Dinah told them. "The Starling City Rockets. Your dad bought it for her, remember?"

"Yeah, I remember," Jessica answered.

"Stranger things have happened," Lance told them.

"Yeah," Jessica agreed. "I can see that."

Big Belly Burger 

(Song:) Come Home - Vince Vaccaro 

Oliver and Jill were sitting at a table, eating burgers, fries and drinking milkshakes. 

Jill was still wearing the workout outfit, but wearing a hoodie. "Hungrier than I thought." Oliver chuckled. "Are you waiting for me to finish before giving me the lecture?"

Oliver smirked. "Jill, you've been spending a lot of time training and fighting this last week, itching to get back out there, after Helena shot you with a crossbow."

"Stops things from being boring," Jill told him, tilting hurt head barely, taking a drink of her milkshake.

"Yeah, but you're still healing, and I can tell that just working out hurts you right now," Oliver told her. "How do you expect to go into the field so soon?"

"Training does not hurt me," Jill told him.

Oliver reached under the table to apply only a small amount of pressure to Jill's stomach over her stitches.

Jill squirmed uncomfortably a bit at the pain, sliding her chair a little over away.

Oliver took his hand away, nodding knowingly, taking a deep breath, feigning curiosity. "You wanna try that again?"

Jill looked down, shaking her head. "No. Nope, I'm good." Oliver chuckled barely. Jill looked at him. "Shut up." They heard text messages and alerts dinging and beeping all over the diner. Jill looked around in confusion. "What the hell is going on?" Her phone rang. Jill answered. "Yeah?"

Felicity was on the other line. "Found Nickel." She was in the hideout with Justin and John. "Click on the link I sent you. This came up on every screen with an I.P. address originating from the Glades."

Jill played a video on her phone, showing it to Oliver.

Nickel was the screen.

Joseph was heard. "If you made the Glades your home, you know who this man is. John Nickel. He owns your tenements." He was holding the camera. "Manages your slums. Provides the leaking roofs over your head." Nickel tried to scream through the tape on his mouth. "The mold in your pipes and asbestos in your walls. Basically, he makes money off our suffering. But the police aren't interested in helping us. They may have let us down, but I won't." In the hideout, Felicity, John and Justin were watching the video on the computers. "John, I want to give you the chance to state your case. Why shouldn't you be punished?"

Joseph pulled the tape off of Nickel's mouth.

Nickel sighed heavily. "I knew there was bad stuff in my buildings."

In the hideout, Justin looked at his sister. "Track him, Felicity."

"I'm looking," Felicity told them.

"Okay, yes, I made a little profit," Nickel told them. "At least they had a place to live. Without me, people like that would end up on the street."

"'People like that'?" Joseph repeated, putting tape over his mouth. In the restaurant, the patrons were horrified by the videos on their phones. "That's all we are to guys like this." Nickel screamed a muffled scream through the tape. "Don't. I find you..." Joseph, still unseen, drew a gun, aiming at Nickel. "Guilty." There were two gunshots. Everyone in the diner was in shock and disturbed about what we had just seen."There are plenty more people who need to answer for their crimes against us. So... who's next?"

Oliver and Jill looked at each other unsteadily.

➣➣

Day Two

Morning - Verdant - Basement

Oliver and Jill walked into the hideout underneath the club, toward where Felicity, Justin and John were at the computers.

"Anything new?" Oliver asked.

"This guy's definitely got more than a subscription to 'Wired'," Felicity told them. "His website's protected by some very serious encryption."

"Well, use that air magnet thing," Jill told her. "You said that it could trace--"

"Jill, no offense," Felicity told her. "Do I tell you how to sharpen your knives and swords or tell you how to heal?"

"That last part, yes," Jill answered.

Felicity looked away. "Point taken."

"Spoke to my friend at the NSA," Justin told them. "The website code matches a cyber crusader who's been on their radar. He hacks into fringe sites under the username 'the savior'. NSA believes he's a former resident of the Glades."

"Former?" John repeated.

"Yeah, well, a year ago, he hacked himself right off the radar," Justin explained. "He erased all traces of his existence."

"So, what happened a year ago?" Felicity asked.

Another video appeared on the screen, of Joseph terrorizing another man. "We're back. I have with me assistant district attorney Gavin Carnahan. Now, DAs are supposed to go after bad guys. But this one can't even be bothered to bring them to trial. Like the ones who killed my wife in Bodega."

"Felicity..." Oliver trailed off.

"I'm on it," Felicity told them, already starting to type away.

They continued to watch the video.

Joseph: (on video)"They said there wasn't enough evidence. You think the evidence would have turned up if she'd been killed in one of Starling City's nicer neighborhoods?"

Felicity brought up the information. "Emma Falk. Grieving husband is Joseph Falk."

"What do we have on him?" Jill asked.

"Not much," Felicity answered. "42, former city worker. Department of transportation, computer technician, left his job when she was killed. One year ago today."

"No current phone, no current address," John told them.

They continued to watch the video.

Joseph was holding the camera. "Gavin, you're a lawyer. You're used to making a case. So go ahead. I'm going to give you ten minutes to deliver, the closing argument of your life."

Oliver looked at Felicity. "Come on."

"I'm trying to get a look on his wireless signal," Felicity told them.

They watched the video.

Joseph continued to film Gavin. "Ten minutes to convince me not to blow you away."

Joseph put the camera down in front of a watch so the audience could see the ticking clock.

➣

Rooftop

Moira and Frank Chen were meeting.

Moira was holding an umbrella for the drizzling rain.

"What did Malcolm want with you last night?" Chen asked.

Moira turned to face him. "A target for reprisal. He wants justice, and he's not going to stop until he gets it. Besides, this is good."

"I think your definition of good requires an adjustment," Chen told her.

"No, he came to me," Moira told him. "Which means he doesn't know that we're responsible for the attempt on his life."

"Yet," Chen told her.

"What are the chances of Malcolm discovering who paid the Triad to assassinate him?" Moira asked.

"I was very discreet," Chen told her. "I wired the money through a shell corporation I own, from an offshore account."

"Offshore?" Moira repeated. "Good. That's good."

Chen placed a hand on her arm. "I'm sending Amanda to London for a few weeks, just as a precaution. Perhaps you should do the same for your family."

"There's nothing I wouldn't do to protect my children, Frank," Moira told him, walking away.

Chen walked her go.

Queen Mansion - Skylar's Room

Skylar was standing in front of the mirror, applying antibacterial to her stitches from being stabbed while protecting Thea in the Glades.

Thea walked in. "That looks better. Does it hurt?"

"Not a lot, but some," Skylar answered, lowering her shirt, turning to face Thea. "What you need?"

"I just need someone to talk to," Thea answered.

"Well, that's what sisters are for," Skylar told her, plopping down on her bed, patting the bed next to her for Thea to sit down. "Talk."

Thea walked closer, sitting down. "I could use some advice. I'm sort of dating this guy who would definitely be described as a bad boy. And, considering that the advice that you gave Oliver about Jill and dating was so spectacular, I was wondering if you could give me some of your words of wisdom."

"Thea," Skylar told her. "Let's pause for a second so I can tell you that I know 'this guy' is Roy Harper."

Thea nodded, tilting her head. "Okay."

"And, considering that I've only dated, like, one bad boy, in a prep school, I would say that wouldn't account to much," Skylar told her. "But if you really like Roy, then admit it. And stop finding excuses to run away."

"Even if he's involved in some dangerous stuff?" Thea asked.

"Especially if he's involved in some dangerous stuff," Skylar answered. "Maybe you can help him out of it."

Thea considered for a moment, nodding. "Okay." She smiled. "When did you get smarter than me and Ollie combined?"

Skylar smiled. "It's always been that way."

Thea and Skylar embraced, smiling.

CNRI Office

Laurel was sitting at her desk, working, searching the Net for the picture of "Sara".

A man walked closer. "Laurel?" Laurel looked up. "The Chinese Embassy's on line two. I'm transferring him over."

"Thank you," Laurel told him. The man walked away. Laurel answered her phone. "Thank you so much for getting back to me. I'm trying to track down a woman in the photo that I emailed you. You did. Really? And you're sure that she's in the States now? Do you happen to have an address on her?"

➣

Verdant - Basement

Felicity was still searching on the computer, finally getting somewhere. "I got him."

"Shut it down," Justin told her.

"Can't," Felicity told her. "He has a firewall protecting his wireless signal. But he's working off an IPX located at 23rd and Mira."

Oliver ran toward the stairs.

"You want to hood up?" John asked.

"The middle of the day," Oliver told them, running upstairs.

Jill took a step after him.

John put a hand in front of Jill to stop her. "Ah. Stay."

Jill groaned in frustration, turning to the computers to watch the video.

The time ran out.

Joseph picked up the camera to aim at Gavin.

"I have 53 cases on my desk right now," Gavin told them. "I don't always have time to take on every case."

"You should have made time," Joseph told him.

"I know," Gavin told them.

Jill put in her ear comm to talk to Oliver while he was on the road.

"How's Carnahan?" Oliver asked.

"Not making a very persuasive argument," Jill answered.

Oliver was driving down the road on a motorcycle, with his helmet on."I'm almost there."

➣

Apartment Building

Oliver ran inside, breaking glass to unlock the door in front of him, running further along in the search for Joseph and Gavin.

Jill talked to him through comms. "See anything?"

"I'm only on the first floor," Oliver told her.

Jill glanced at the building's blueprints on the computer. "Just six more to go."

Oliver kicked in a door to continue the search.

➣

Verdant - Basement

Jill, John, Justin and Felicity looked at the video.

"There aren't resources," Gavin told them. "I tried." Joseph put his gun to his chest. "Oh, my God. I'm sorry!"

Jill spoke into comms. "Oliver, hurry."

➣

Apartment Building - Hallway

Oliver kicked in another door to continue the search. "Can't find him." He ran upstairs. He kicked in several other doors and ran upstairs. "He's not here, Jill."

"What?" Jill asked.

"I searched every office on every floor," Oliver told her. "He's not here."

➣

Verdant - Basement

Jill, John, Justin and Felicity continued to watch the video.

Jill looked at Felicity. "Is that the right place? Are you sure?"

Felicity started typing again. "Yeah, I... Oh, crap."

"What?" Jill asked.

The location on the map reset.

"How is this possible?" Felicity asked incredulously. "This can't happen. He's--"

"Talk to me," Justin told her.

"Wait," Felicity told them. "He moved."

Felicity brought up the map for them to see.

Jill spoke through comm to talk to Oliver. "He moved. Just north of you. Ocean and Grand."

Oliver ran across the rooftop, jumping from building to building. "On my way."

The others turned back to the video.

"I took on cases that were--that I thought that I could..." Gavin trailed off.

"Win," Joseph finished.

"Yes," Gavin answered. John put his hands to his head. "I'm sorry."

Jill felt utterly helpless at the moment, the feeling making her sick to her stomach. She held her hand over the stitches of her wound.

Alley

Oliver jumped down the fire escape to get to the ground below, landing on a passing mail truck, taking it for a ride closer to the street, jumping down to the boxes ahead, running along, jumping over a fence, continuing to run.

➣

Verdant - Basement 

Jill, John, Justin and Felicity continued to watch the video.

"Gavin Carnahan, I find you guilty of crimes against the Glades," Joseph told him.

"Don't do this!" Gavin told him. "Don't do this!"

"And I sentence you to death," Joseph told him.

"I'm at Ocean and Grand, Jill," Oliver told her. "That's just a vacant lot."

"How is this possible?" Felicity asked. "This can't happen. He can't--"

There were multiple gunshots.

Felicity jumped.

Justin closed his eyes, looking down.

"Felicity, find the right address, now," Oliver told her.

Felicity became overly emotional with sadness and guilt and failure, standing, turning around, walking away.

Jill sighed, hanging her head. "Oliver, it's over. Carnahan is dead."

➣➣

Verdant

Felicity was upstairs in the closed, vacant club, standing at the bar, having a drink.

Justin walked closer slowly. "Felicity?" Felicity looked up. "This wasn't your fault."

"I was the one who was supposed to find Carnahan, and I was the one who sent Oliver to that bogus location," Felicity told him.

"Don't blame yourself," Justin told her. 

Felicity looked down, shaking her head. "I've never seen anyone die."

Justin sighed. "This is the thing with what we do. Sometimes we lose."

Flashback

Day - Lian Yu - Woods

Slade, Jill and Oliver were walking through the woods at day, walking toward soldiers, Yao Fei and Edward.

"Miss Wright," Edward told her. "Mr. Queen. Mr. Wilson. Welcome. So happy we were able to reach an accord."

"Oh, good," Slade told them sarcastically. "Small talk. Are we going to get on with this?"

"As you wish," Edward told them. "Straight to business. The circuit board. Where is it?"

"Somewhere safe," Oliver answered. "So, get us to the boat, and then we'll tell you where it is."

Edward looked at them skeptically. "And of course you'll be honest about its location."

"Well, I wouldn't be," Slade told him. He nodded to Jill. "But this one's got some strange hang up about principles and integrity."

"I always imagined as much," Edward told them. "Which is why I'd like to make a counter proposal." He turned to the soldiers. "Men!"

A soldier brought a struggling Shado toward them.

Yao Fei looked at them in surprise and worry.

The soldier pushed Shado to her knees.

"No!" Yao Fei told them. The soldier aimed a gun at Shado. "No!"

Another soldier hit Yao Fei in the head with his gun, making him fall.

Two soldiers handcuffed Yao Fei.

Edward looked at Oliver, Jill and Slade. "You will deliver back to me the circuit board, or I will kill Yao Fei's daughter."

Jill realized. "So I wouldn't leave."

"I can't imagine you want the death of an innocent young woman on your hands," Edward told her. "Not with your... principles."

Jill glared at him.

Day - CNRI Office

Jessica, Lance and Dinah walked in.

Laurel was sitting at her desk, waiting for them.

"Hey," Jessica told her.

Laurel stood, turning to face them. "Hi. I wanted to do some research on my own, into the evidence that you gathered on Sara. So I called my friend from law school who works at the Chinese Embassy, and... the photo of the girl. I found her."

The girl walked closer. Her name was Jen. "I'm sorry. Can I--can I borrow your phone? I promised my fiance that I'd call him before dinner. My phone's dead."

"Jen, this is my sister, Jessica, and these are our parents," Laurel told her. 

"Hi," Jen told them, offering her hand to Jessica. "Nice to meet you."

Jessica shook her hand. "Yeah, you, too."

Laurel picked up the pictures. "I just told Jen about this photograph that popped up in this case that I'm working on."

"Is that you in the picture?" Lance asked.

"Yeah," Jen answered. "I spent six months on an island off the coast of China. That was taken in a small fishing village called Zhengjiu. It's Mandarin for..."

"Salvation," Dinah finished.

Dinah looked devastated.

"Are you all right, Mrs. Lance?" Jen asked.

Dinah nodded. "Yes, I... it's just, uh, you look like someone I used to know."

Dinah walked away, trying not to cry.

Lance followed after to her to make sure she was okay.

Jessica and Laurel looked at each other sadly.

Night - Roy's House - Outside

Thea walked up to the house.

Roy walked outside. "Wow." He walked downstairs toward her. "I was waiting for this."

"Waiting for what?" Thea asked.

"The whole, 'you can change, I can see the real you', speech," Roy answered, walking past her toward the street. Thea followed him. "Look around, Thea." Roy turned to face her. "This is home sweet home for me. You either starve or you do things that mean you're lucky enough to make it to 21."

Thea shook her head. "I can't accept that."

Roy shook his head. "No. You can't accept me."

Thea sighed. 

Joseph walked closer. "Roy Harper?"

Roy turned toward him. "Yeah?"

Joseph inject Roy in the neck with a sedative to make him fall unconscious.

Thea was horrified. "Roy!"

Thea tried to pull Joseph away from Roy.

Joseph pushed Thea to the ground, making her hit her head on a nearby car and fall unconscious. He turned toward Roy, picking him up, putting him in the back of a van, getting inside, driving away, leaving Thea unconscious at the side of the road.

Verdant 

Oliver, Tommy, Jill, Skylar were in the club, watching the news.

A man was reporting. "More on the story of the Glades. The kidnapper seems to have another victim and is broadcasting the feed to his website. According to viewers, this is live footage, so we're not sure what we're about to see."

Roy was the one tied up this time.

Joseph was the one recording."Meet Roy Harper." Skylar was horrified, walking toward the TV. "Arrests for larceny and robbery, aggravated assault. And yet you're out on the street. Another gangbanger in the Glades running free, like the ones who killed my wife. I'm from the Glades, too. And it didn't turn me into a criminal."

Skylar put a hand over her mouth in horror.

Oliver and Jill noticed the reaction, walking closer in concern.

"Skylar?" Oliver asked. "What's wrong?"

"I know Roy," Skylar answered.

"How?" Jill asked.

Thea ran inside. "Skylar! Ollie?" She ran up next to them, her head bleeding a little. Skylar pulled Thea closer. Thea looked at the TV with tears in her eyes, covering her mouth. "Oh. Oh, God, no." She started to cry, shaking her head. "I don't know where else to go."

"You know him?" Jill asked.

Thea lowered her hand, nodding. "Roy, he's our friend. And we were in a fight and some guy came out of nowhere and just attacked us. He doesn't deserve to die."

"I promise you, he's going to be okay," Oliver told them. "You two stay here with Tommy, all right?"

Oliver and Jill walked away.

Thea continued to cry.

Skylar pulled her sister into her arms. Thea returned the embrace.

Queen Consolidated - Moira's Office

Moira was about to leave. Her phone rang. She pulled it out, answering. "Hello?"

Malcolm's voice was on the other line. "Moira, it's Malcolm." He was in his own office at Merlyn Global Group. "I've learned a high ranking member of the Triad was just arrested."

"Well, I should have a word with him," Moira told him.

"I already have," Malcolm told her. Moira stumbled slightly in her high heels nervously. "He's agreed to find out who hired his organization to assassinate me in return for a reduced prison sentence. By tonight, we should know the name, or names, of the people who tried to kill me."

Moira closed her eyes in fear. "Good."

Malcolm hung up, putting his phone away.

Moira lowered her phone, afraid of what he might do to her if he found out that she was the one who tried to have him killed, slowly sitting down at her desk.

Jessica's Loft

Dinah was cleaning the articles and evidence up.

Lance was with her.

Jessica and Laurel walked in.

"What are you doing?" Laurel asked.

"So it's not Sara in the photo," Dinah told them. "But she's still out there. And I'm going to find her." Lance sighed. "Look, I understand now that none of you have the stomach to continue looking for her. And that's fine. I'm sorry I involved you all."

"You know that I would cross to hell and back to bring her home, but I can't!" Lance told her. "'Cause she's gone, Di."

Dinah shook her head, keeping her back to them. "No."

"You got to let go of this now," Lance told her.

"No!" Dinah told them. "I can't." Jessica was looking at the picture of Jen on the table. "I won't."

Jessica looked at Dinah in confusion. "How did you know Sara had her hat with her when she went on the boat?" Dinah didn't answer, turning away. "You were so sure that the girl in the photo was Sara. Not because she was American, but because of her hat." Lance and Laurel looked at Jessica in confusion, but Jessica continued looking at her mother. "Her Starling City Rockets hat that Dad bought her. Mom." Dinah put a hand over her mouth. "How did you know she took her hat with her on 'The Queen's Gambit' with Oliver?"

Dinah lowered her hand, sighing. "I saw her."

"What do you mean?" Laurel asked.

Dinah closed her eyes, starting to cry. "I came home early that day, and I saw her. Sara. I saw her put the hat in a bag. She was packing."

"You knew she was going with him?" Lance asked.

Dinah sobbed. "I told her not to." She turned to face them. "I told her not to do this, not to you, Laurel." Laurel had tears in her eyes. "But she said she was in love and she had to follow her heart, even if nobody else thought it was right. Just like I told her..." Dinah looked at Lance. "Just like I told her I once did." Lance looked down, closing his eyes, putting a hand to his head. "So... I let her go." Laurel started to cry. "I killed her. I..." Dinah gasped and sobbed, continuing to cry. "I killed my daughter. I killed her." Jessica had tears in her eyes, pressing her lips together, looking down. "I'm so sorry, Quentin." Lance walked toward his ex-wife, tears in his eyes, trying not to cry. "I killed our baby."

Lance and Dinah embraced.

Jessica and Laurel both tried not to cry.

Verdant - Basement

Oliver and Jill walked downstairs into the hideout, toward John, Justin, Felicity at the computers.

"Anything?" Jill asked.

"I've been going through all the video we got, trying to see if there's anything that'll tell us where this guy is," Felicity told them. "I got nothing, except a sound. Buried in the ambient noise. Almost rhythmic. Here, I've isolated it."

Felicity played the sound loudly.

"What is that?" Oliver asked.

"Sounds like a car driving over lane markers," Jill told them.

"It's bigger than a car," Justin told them.

"Bigger than a car," Oliver repeated. "What, a bus? Uh..."

"Wait," John told them. "I know this. I know it."

"Come on," Jill told them. "Guys."

"Felicity, show me a map," John told her. "Sights of the abductions on where we've seen the signal so far." He pointed at the map. "Right there, right there. 23rd and Mira. Locksley and Adams. Wells Street down by CNRI. Those are all subway stops."

"Starling City doesn't have a subway," Oliver told them.

"No, but they used to," John told them. "When I was a kid, my dad used to take me down to the Rockets game. By subway. For 14 minutes, I'd lean against the window, feeling the rhythm of the train moving."

"That's how he did it," Justin told them. "He was at 23rd and Mira, but he was underground."

"He used to work for the department of transportation, so that's why he knows all the old subway stops," Felicity told them. "That's why I couldn't trace the signal. He was moving. He was in a subway car."

Oliver walked away to get suited up. "Where is he now?"

"He's on the old cross town line," Felicity answered. "If he continues on this route, he'll be at the Spring Street stop in 15 minutes."

Oliver walked away.

Jill turned to watch him go, looking like she wanted to go to help him, but knowing at the moment, she couldn't, looking down at her stomach.

Flashback

Day - Lian Yu - Woods

Yao Fei was still handcuffed and guarded by two soldiers. Two soldiers stood over Shado, guns aimed at her, while Edward and the rest of the soldiers faced off with Oliver, Jill and Slade.

Slade aimed a gun at Edward.

A soldier aimed a gun at Slade.

"Let the girl go," Slade told them.

"No deal?" Edward asked. "Very well. Kill her."

"No!" Yao Fei told them.

Shado turned to Soldier 1, pulling his gun out of his grasp, turning to Soldier 2, punching both of them in the chests, standing, grabbing onto Soldier 2 to kick both legs into Soldier 1, flipping both of them to the ground.

Slade fired into the soldiers, killing them.

Oliver ran toward Soldier 3, pushing him against a tree, punching him in the face.

Yao Fei held Soldier 4 in a leglock.

Edward aimed a gun at Jill. Jill grabbed his wrist, pushing his hand away while still keeping hold of him, turning to twist the gun out of his grasp, elbowing him in the face, turning to face him, using the butt of the gun to hit him in the face, making him fall.

Soldier 3 aimed his gun at Oliver. Oliver grabbed the gun, spinning to twist his arm behind his back, with his back to his, taking the gun from his grasp, flipping him to the ground, like Slade had taught both him and Jill.

Shado was punching Soldier 2 in the face repeatedly until he was unconscious, standing, walking toward the others.

"That was unexpected," Slade told her.

Shado smiled.

Edward stood. "Fire!"

The soldiers hidden in the woods started to fire.

Oliver, Jill, Shado and Yao Fei started to run away. Slade followed them while firing back at the soldiers.

Yao Fei was shot in the leg, screaming, falling.

Oliver helped him stand, pulling him along. "Come on! Come on."

Shado and Oliver helped Yao Fei take cover behind a small hill.

Jill took cover behind a nearby boulder.

Slade took cover by a tree ahead of them, firing at the soldiers.

"Get her to safety!" Yao Fei told them. "Now! I'll only slow you down. Go!" Shado shook her head frantically. "Just go! You've got to go!"

"No!" Shado told him.

"Not without you," Jill told him. "Not after everything you've done for us."

"Go!" Yao Fei told them. "Go!"

Slade and Oliver had to pull Shado and Jill along to leave Yao Fei behind like he wished.

Verdant - Basement

Felicity, John, Justin and Jill were still in the hideout, watching the video of Roy on the screens.

Jill spoke through comms to Oliver. "It's happening."

"I'll give you ten minutes to state your case, Roy," Joseph told him. "So tell us. Why do you get to live?"

Roy barely shook his head. "I shouldn't. Just do it. Kill me."

Roy looked down, defeated and seemingly broken.

Subway Train

Roy was still egging Joseph on. "Just go on! Kill me!"

Thea was trying not to cry from worry and fear.

Roy: (on TV) "I'm just a waste."

Thea closed her eyes at the words that she had said to him the night before in regret and sorrow.

Joseph: (on TV) "Then we agree on something."

Skylar wrapped her arms around Thea comfortingly.

Joseph: (on TV) "This world would be better off without you in it."

Subway Train

Joseph was searching the train with his gun raised.

Oliver/Arrow crashed in through the window, throwing an arrow into the ropes tying one of Roy's hands to the beams. He aimed his bow and arrow at Joseph. "Let the kid go." Joseph shook his head. "You kill this kid, you'll never get an opportunity to change. You can give him a second chance."

"You, me, your friend in the blue, we're the only ones who can save this city," Joseph told him. "We can't stop now."

"We're not the same!" Oliver told him angrily.

"You've killed people for this city," Joseph told him. "So have I. What's the difference between you and me? Emma never got her second chance." Oliver looked at Roy, nodding to the arrow that was in the ropes of his wrist. "You have no idea how lonely it is."

Joseph looked over his shoulder toward Roy.

Roy was reaching for the arrow to try and cut himself free.

"Joseph," Oliver told him. Joseph was still looking at Roy. "Joseph!" Joseph looked at Oliver. "I understand being alone. But it doesn't give you the right to kill people in cold blood."

Roy used the arrow to try and cut himself free.

Joseph looked at Oliver. "He deserves it. Just like the gangbangers who gunned her down, he's no different than them. And now I get to gun him down."

Roy cut himself free.

Joseph turned to Roy, raising his gun.

"Don't do it!" Oliver told him.

Joseph tried to shoot Roy.

Roy ducked.

Oliver shot Joseph in the back with an arrow, making it stab through his chest.

Joseph looked down in shock, slowly turning to face Oliver.

Roy was breathing heavily in shock.

Joseph was groaning and gasping in pain, dropping his gun to the floor.

Oliver regretted having to kill him to save Roy.

Joseph fell back into the seat behind him, dying.

Roy slowly stood, looking around in shock, seeing that Oliver was already gone.

Dinah turned to leave.

Laurel walked toward her.

Jessica stood, walking toward her. "Mom." Dinah turned back. Jessica took her hand in hers. "Call me some time. I'd really like that."

"You would?" Dinah asked.

"Of course I would," Jessica answered.

"We both would," Laurel told her. "You're our mother."

Dinah pulled both her daughters into an embrace. "I love you so much."

"I love you, too," Laurel told her.

Thea checked her phone. "I'm so worried about him."

"I know," Skylar told her sympathetically.

"I mean, what if he's dead?" Thea asked. "What if he didn't make it?"

Skylar looked over her shoulder toward the rest of the bar, noticing something by the door, managing a small smile in relief. "Oh, I think he made it."

Thea looked at her in confusion.

Skylar smiled a small smile, nodding behind her.

Thea turned to follow her gaze, seeing Roy walk in.

Roy slowly walked closer.

Skylar smiled a small smile, walking away.

Thea looked at Roy in relief, walking closer, wrapping her arms around him. "I thought you were gonna die."

Roy returned the embrace. "That makes two of us."

They chuckled in relief.

Thea pulled away. "I probably look like a mess. I'm going to go to the bathroom and freshen way, way up."

Roy chuckled. "Okay."

Jill was standing at the bar, working as the bartender, when she saw the two of them reuniting, smiling a small smile. She turned around, seeing Oliver outside through the window. She hesitated, walking away from the bar.

Thea walked away to the bathrooms.

Roy reached into his pocket, pulling out the miniature arrow that Oliver had thrown into the ropes so he could use it to cut himself free. He seemed to be thinking.

Oliver looked wrecked.

"Oliver?" Jill asked.

Oliver turned to face her. "Hey."

"Hey," Jill told him, walking closer in concern. "Roy's okay."

"Yeah," Oliver agreed. "But, uh... I had to kill Joseph to do it."

"That's why you haven't come inside?" Jill asked. "Come to the bar and tell me what happened? I had to hear it from Justin."

"Yeah, well, I know how you feel about killing, and leaving people behind, and..." Oliver trailed off.

Jill stepped closer. "Oliver... you didn't have a choice. You're right. I don't like killing. But you did it to save Thea's friend."

Oliver cleared his throat. "Yeah. I think this Roy... is more than just a friend."

Jill shrugged slightly. "Bad boys. Hook you every time." Oliver managed a small smile, looking down. "I just want to make sure that you're okay."

Oliver nodded. "Thank you."

"And I'm sorry that I couldn't be there," Jill told him. "If I had been..."

Oliver shook his head. "You do not get to blame yourself for this. Still recovering."

"Though, it sounded like all I would have had to do if I went was get Roy of the train before Joseph would have a chance to try and shoot him again," Jill told him.

"You have any idea what I had to do to get onto a moving subway train?" Oliver asked. "That move alone would've..."

"Burst my stitches, make me bleed to death?" Jill finished. "Yeah. Make all the excuses for me, defend me as much as you want, Oliver. But I should have been more careful with Helena. Before and after. Otherwise this wouldn't have happened. You're not the only one of us that makes mistakes."

Oliver seemed grateful for the talk.

Jill managed a small smile, turning to leave.

"Jill?" Oliver asked. Jill turned back. "Want to have dinner, or... something to drink?"

Jill nodded. "Sure." She tilted her head. "I don't know if you know this, but I control the bar inside. I'm pretty sure we can get drinks for free."

Oliver chuckled.

Jill smiled a small smile.

Slade hurried over to see for himself. "Damn. Fyers played us. While he was screwing us around, his men were combing the woods for it. Now his missile launcher is fully operational."

"And he was never going to let us off the island," Oliver told them. "I get it."

"Of course he wasn't going to help you," Shado told them. "He couldn't chance you warning the mainland what he was planned."

"What?" Chen asked worriedly.

"I had no choice but to turn over what I've discovered," Moira told him. "The evidence of the wire transfer; the money that you paid the Triad to assassinate him."

"The money I--" Chen started. Two arrows shot through Chen's back through his chest, making him gasp in pain and horror. "Moira!"

Moira was horrified.

Chen fell to the ground, dying.

Malcolm/The Dark Archer walked closer, looking at Moira, disguising his voice. "Mr. Merlyn thanks you for your loyalty. You've done well. Now Chen's family will share his fate."

"Chen betrayed us, but his daughter didn't," Moira told him. "Tell Mr. Merlyn I want her to live. Amanda nearly lost her life in the Glades. Now she's lost her father. I think she's suffered enough."

"We must send a message," Malcolm told her.

"Thea's friend is upstairs," John told them.

Felicity turned away from the computers to face them. "You probably saw that they were very happy to see each other, if you know what I mean." She pointed at Oliver. "Which you probably don't want to talk about, because she's your baby sister."

Felicity turned away awkwardly.

Justin looked at Oliver. "You okay?"

Jill looked at Oliver curiously.

Oliver looked at Jill, sighing. "I'm getting there. Thank you." Jill nodded. Oliver saw a map on the computer, confused. "What's that?"

"Felicity pulled it up," Justin told them. "It's an old map of a decommissioned subway line. Runs underneath the low rent district of the city."

Oliver took out his father's book, opening it, revealing the symbol on the front cover was the same as the map. "I've seen that map before." He handed Jill the journal. Jill compared the symbol in the journal to the map. "It was right in front of our faces the entire time." John took the journal to look for himself. "My father, the other archer, the Undertaking, whatever the plan is. It's all connected to the Glades."

Justin took the journal to look for himself.

They looked at the map of the Glades worriedly, knowing that it was another piece of the puzzle solved, but they still had no idea what it meant, or what was going to happen.
