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.

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

From 1.13 "Betrayal", in the park, Laurel and Jessica were talking.

"So you met up with the vigilantes?" Laurel asked. "Knowingly?"

"Laurel, don't even think about judging me on this," Jessica told her. "You've contacted them before, too."

From 1.16 "Dead to Rights", in Malcolm's office, Tommy had his gun aimed at Oliver/Arrow.

Oliver pulled back his hood to show his best friend who he really was.

Tommy looked at him in shock.

From 1.19 "Unfinished Business", in Verdant, Tommy and Oliver were arguing.

"You're a murderer," Tommy told him. "You were my best friend in life, but now it's like I don't even know you. I quit."

Tommy walked away.

From 1.19 "Unfinished Business", in the street, Lyla and John were meeting.

"Listen, Lyla, Lawton is a very dangerous man," John told her.

From 1.16 "Dead to Rights", in the motel room, Floyd picked up the red eyepiece given to him by China and the twins.

Lyla: (voice over from 1.19 Unfinished Business) "What do you know about him?"

From 1.19 "Unfinished Business", in the street, Lyla and John were meeting.

John handed her a flash drive with his research. "That's everything you need to locate who's giving Deadshot his targets."

From 1.16 "Dead to Rights", in the hideout, Oliver/Arrow and Jill/Sapphire (without their faces hidden), Justin and Felicity were talking.

John was walking away.

"This Lawton kick his dog or something?" Felicity asked.

"No," Justin answered. "He killed his brother."

From 1.19 "Unfinished Business", in Verdant, John and Oliver were arguing.

"I can't move on with my life knowing that he's still out there," John told him. "I thought if anybody got that, it'd be you."

From 1.16 "Dead to Rights", in the warehouse, Kira and Karma were arguing with China.

"Moira Queen told us why she wanted Malcolm Merlyn dead," Karma told her. "It's the same reason why you don't want him to be. You know about the Undertaking."

"You knew this entire time?" Kira asked.

"Yes, I knew," China answered calmly. "If you want to try and stop the Undertaking, fine. Go for it. But just know that it puts a target on both of your backs."

"It wouldn't be the first time," Karma told her.

"My advice?" China asked. "Run."

Day One

Morning - Verdant - Basement

In the hideout beneath Verdant, it was mostly looking like it had before Tommy had dismantled the setup to save the secret from Lance.

Justin and Oliver were training.

John was punching the mats on Justin's wrists.

Oliver and Jill were watching from nearby, sitting down.

"You feel better?" Jill asked.

"I'll feel better once we end Deadshot," John told them. 

Oliver nodded. 

➣ 

Embassy of United States of America - Outside 

Floyd was on the rooftop of the building next over, aiming his rifle at the party inside.

➣  

Inside

The senator for Starling was shaking hands. "Welcome to the US, ambassador. Henrik, you're looking great."

➣ 

Verdant - Basement 

John and Justin were still training while Oliver and Jill watched.

Embassy of United States of America - Outside 

Floyd took his aim at the senator.

Verdant - Basement 

John and Justin were still training while Oliver and Jill watched.

John paused in punching the gloves on Justin's hands. "We have to end this guy before he makes any more widows out of wives."

John returned to punching.

➣ 

Embassy of United States of America - Outside 

Floyd took his shot, pulling the trigger.

➣ 

Inside 

The bullet passed through a champagne bottle, shattering it, shooting into the senator's chest, killing him, making him fall.

Everyone started to scream.

➣ 

Verdant - Basement 

John and Justin continued to train while Oliver and Jill watched.

"We will," Oliver told him. "Diggle, we'll stop him. I promised you we'd help take him down, and I keep my promises, but he's on another continent."

Felicity walked toward them. "Not anymore." She sat at the computer. "I thought it would be helpful to track ARGUS's manhunt for Floyd Lawton AKA Deadshot, so I decrypted their communication logs. Which means, I just hacked a Federal agency. Which kind of makes me a cyber-terrorist, which is bad because I really don't see myself fitting in well at Guantanamo Bay."

"Don't worry, Felicity," Jill told her. "They don't send blondes there."

"I dye it, actually," Felicity told them. "I keep your secret..."

"Hey, what'd you find?" Justin asked.

"Deadshot is scheduled to meet with a potential new client here in Starling City," Felicity told them. "Except the potential contract is bogus. Your friend Lyla is setting a trap for him. Lawton took the bait."

John nodded. "Great. I'll talk to Lyla, see if I can suss out any details."

"Good," Oliver told them. "I've got to have lunch with my family."

Flashback

Day - Lian Yu - Woods

Jill was outside in the woods by the fuselage, looking at the picture of her family. 

➣ 

Fuselage 

Jill walked into the hideout.

Slade, Shado and Oliver were already there.

Slade looked Shado. "Rescuing your father and stopping Fyers is not going to be some walk in the park. They're not going to allow us to just stroll on into their camp."

"Which is why we'll need cover," Shado told them.

"If both of us are infiltrating, who'll provide that?" Slade asked.

Shado looked at Jill and Oliver. "They will."

"Us?" Jill asked.

Slade laughed. "The assault rifle is flushed. It's useless."

"We have a bow, arrows," Shado told them. "We have swords and knives."

"And no one capable of using them," Slade told her. He looked at Jill and Oliver. "No offense, kids."

"I was going to say the same thing," Oliver told him.

"I think we should be spending our time trying to devise a plan, not lower our already slim chances of survival," Slade told them.

"They'll hit their mark by sundown," Shado told him. "If not, we'll do it your way."

➣ 

ARGUS Building 

Lyla was walking alone.

John caught up to her. "Lyla."

"What is it, Johnny?" Lyla asked.

"I just came by to see how things were going on your Deadshot investigation," John told her. "Anything new come up?"

"Funnily enough, it did," Lyla answered. "I was curious why you, a bodyguard, were so keen on taking down such a high profile assassin, so I did some reading up on Lawton."

John sighed. "Lyla, listen."

Lyla turned to face him, making him stop. "Did you really think I wouldn't find out that he killed your brother? That you were using me? Me! To what? Draw him out in the open so you could take him down yourself? I will not let you use my agency to settle your blood feud."

Lyla started to walk away.

John grabbed her arm to stop her. "Lyla... I need to see this guy in a bag. You of all people should get that."

"Get this," Lyla told him. "Stay away from Lawton, Johnny, or so help me, I will have you arrested." John nodded, looking away. "You doubt me?"

John looked at her, shaking his head. "Never have."

Lyla walked away, leaving.

John turned to watch her go.

 CNRI Office

Laurel was sitting at her desk, looking at information of a man on her computer. The man's name was Edward Rasmus.

Jessica walked closer. "Hi."

"Did you get my voicemail?" Laurel asked.

"No," Jessica answered.

"Things got a little crazy around here," Laurel told her. "Back to back meetings. I am so sorry about missing out the family lunch with you and Dad. Rain check?"

"Sure," Jessica answered. "I could definitely catch up on some police work."

They stood, walking away from the desk.

A family walked closer. Eric and Nancy Moore were the parents. The little boy with them was Taylor Moore.

"I'm sorry," Eric told them. "Are we early?"

"No, not at all," Laurel answered. "Uh, this is my sister, Jessica Lance. She's a detective for the SCPD. Jessica, this is Eric Moore and his wife, Nancy. I'm prepping them for a deposition for tomorrow."

Jessica pointed at Taylor. "And this must be your bodyguard?"

Taylor smiled.

Jessica smiled kindly.

Nancy chuckled. "This is our son, Taylor."

"Well, you are in very capable hands," Jessica told them. "It was nice to meet you."

Jessica walked out, leaving.

"Eric, Nancy, I want to make sure that you guys are up for this," Laurel told them. "Edward Rasmus isn't known for playing with kid gloves, so this could get rough."

"We invested our entire life savings with Rasmus and he stole it," Eric told her. "Our retirement. Taylor's college fund. He stole our future, Miss Lance. We want it back."

Laurel nodded. "Well, then let's go get it."

➣ 

Night - Moore House - Foyer 

There was a knock on the door.

Eric walked closer. "Hello?"

A man named Mr. Blank called from the other side. "Mr. Moore? I have some documents for you from Laurel Lance related to tomorrow's deposition." Eric opened the door, letting Mr. Blank in. Blank looked around. "What a nice home you have here." He opened his briefcase. "You can really... feel the love." He was holding a gun behind the open briefcase, shooting through it to shoot Eric in the chest twice, killing him, making him fall. He put the briefcase down, knocking a few things over. "Sorry about the mess. This works better if it looks like a break-in."

➣ 

Hallway 

Blank walked down the hallway, searching.

Nancy walked out of a room, seeing him, unable to react in time to the gun.

Blank shot her in the chest twice, killing her, making her fall.

The newly orphaned Taylor looked out of his bedroom door to see his mother's body, horrified and trying not to cry.

Blank turned to look at Taylor through the door.

Taylor slammed the door in his face.

Blank tried to open the door to see that it was locked.

➣ 

Taylor's Room 

Blank kicked in the door, walking inside. He saw that Taylor was gone and the window was wide open, signaling that Taylor had left through the window. His cellphone rang. He looked out through the window, unable to see Taylor, answering his phone. 

Edward Rasmus was in the back of a limo. "Is it done?"

"The parents, yes," Blank answered. "I'm afraid there's been a variable. The child got away."

"Got away?" Rasmus repeated. "Did he see you?"

"No, Mr. Rasmus," Blank told him. "What he saw was the face of the man who will reunite him with his parents."

Blank hung up, looking around, walking out, leaving.

Day Two

Morning - Queen Mansion - Jill's Guest Bedroom 

Jill was just getting out of the shower, wrapped in a towel, hearing the news on, walking toward the TV.

Man: (on TV) "Starling City is expected to be host of the year's festival of lights exhibition. In other news, the bodies of Eric and Nancy Moore were found early this morning. The couple were being represented by attorney Laurel Lance of CNRI in a lawsuit against financier Edward Rasmus. Miraculously, their seven-year-old son Taylor survived the horrific attack."

Jill bit her lip curiously, wondering what could have been done about the murder and the child.

➣ 

Flashback

Day - Lian Yu - Woods

Outside the fuselage, Shado was coaching Oliver into shooting his bow. "Set your sight. Hit the tree."

Oliver shot the arrow, but it didn't hit the tree in front of them, instead soaring further into the woods.

"Probably hit a tree," Jill told them.

"You know, I don't see you doing anything," Oliver replied.

Shado picked up a knife, handing it to Jill. "You try." Jill sighed, standing. "Set your sight. Hit the tree. Steady your anchor point."

Jill threw her knife toward the tree.

The knife hit the tree, but it didn't embed itself into it, falling to the ground.

Slade walked toward them. "I hope you're getting closer at teaching them how to be better. It's not as though our lives depend on it or anything."

Shado looked at Oliver. "Try again."

Oliver raised his bow. "Okay."

Now

Day - CNRI Office

A social worker was sitting with Taylor.

Laurel and Tommy stood nearby.

"This isn't your fault, Laurel," Tommy told her. "You shouldn't feel guilty."

"I don't feel guilty," Laurel told him. "I'm angry. This wasn't some random break-in." Lance and Jessica walked in. "Edward Rasmus is involved, I know it."

"Okay, listen," Lance told them. "Our guys are looking into this. But you need to stay out of it, okay? Because if Rasmus is behind this, he's clearly not messing around."

The social worker brought Taylor closer. "Uh... if you'd like to say goodbye to Taylor, I will be taking him over to child services."

"Doesn't he have any other family?" Jessica asked.

"Grandparents are in Melbourne," the social worker told them. "We're tracking them down, but until then, he's going to be a temporary ward of the state."

"He can stay with me," Laurel told them. Tommy looked at her in surprise. "As his attorney, I am assigning myself temporary guardianship."

"You'd still need a judge's order," the social worker told her.

"I'll have it to you in an hour," Laurel told her.

"Well, have it your way," the social worker told her, walking away, leaving.

"Okay, look, I'm going to park a patrol car outside your place," Jessica told her. 

"Fine," Laurel told them.

Lance looked at Tommy. "And you... you look after them, all right?"

"I spend most nights at your daughter's anyways," Tommy told him. "There was probably a better time to tell you that."

"Probably not," Lance told them, walking away, leaving.

Laurel knelt in front of Taylor. "Hi. So you're gonna come stay at my house, okay?" 

"It's settled," Jessica told them. "Taylor's going home with you tonight. If you need anything, call me."

Laurel stood, nodding. "Of course."

➣  

Verdant - Basement

Jill walked into the hideout beneath Verdant to talk to Justin, Felicity, John and Oliver. "What's this?"

"Lyla's mission profile on the trap they've set for Deadshot," Felicity answered.

"They hacked into his targets list," John explained, pulling up pictures of the twins. "He'll be targeting Kira and Karma Mahageni."

Jill recognized them instantly, sighing. "The twins from the Triad."

"The ones that have fought both you and me but never went for a death blow," Oliver told her.

"To research, they don't seem to be killers," Justin told them. "Just doing what the Triad tells them because the newly, self-appointed leader of the Starling City faction saved their lives a few years back. Just repaying the debt without spilling blood."

"But Lawton worked with them and the Triad to try and kill Malcolm Merlyn," Oliver told them. "Why would he be targeting them now?"

"Maybe they know something they shouldn't," Justin answered.

"So, ARGUS is using the twins as bait so that Lyla can swoop in with her team and arrest Lawton," John told them.

"Do you want Lawton arrested?" Oliver asked.

John looked up, shaking his head. "No."

Oliver nodded in understanding. "Then tomorrow night, we cross Floyd Lawton's name off your list."

Jill nodded in agreement. "There is something else we need to look into." She pulled up the information on the computer. "Two of Laurel's clients were murdered last night. Their seven-year-old son barely escaped."

"That's terrible," Justin told them.

"Edward Rasmus, the financial advisor Laurel was taking to court," Jill told them. "May not have pulled the trigger, but he probably called in the hit." She looked at Felicity. "I want you to get into his corporate accounts, phone records, anything that may link him to the killer, okay?"

"Laurel took in Taylor, the kid, until they can find his grandparents," Oliver told them. "If Taylor saw the killer, then the killer might come for him again to silence him and reunite him with his dead parents. Tommy's over there with them right now."

"Then we better make sure that nothing happens to them," Jill told them.

Felicity nodded.

➣ 

Night - Police Precinct

Jessica was working, speaking into the radio. "My sister secure at her place?"

Man: (on radio) "So far, all quiet."

"All right," Jessica told him. "Let me know if there is any movement."

Man: (on radio) "Yes, ma'am. Roger that."

"I'm heading over there right now," Jessica told him, putting down the radio on her desk. Roy walked closer. Jessica looked up. "What did you steal this time?"

"You got a minute?" Roy asked.

Jessica pulled on her jacket. "No."

"It's about the vigilantes," Roy told her. 

"When my men found you on that subway car after you were kidnapped, you told them you didn't know anything about the vigilantes," Jessica told him. "Is there something you forgot to tell them?"

Roy shook his head. "No. I just want to see them brought to justice like everyone else."

"Just keep making sure I don't have a reason to get you," Jessica told him, walking away, leaving.

Roy looked at the police radio on Jessica's desk, snaking it into his pocket before anyone saw.

➣

Laurel's Apartment

Taylor was sitting on the couch.

Laurel was with him. "Taylor? Sweetheart?" Taylor looked up. "Are you hungry?" Taylor looked down. "You know, I make the world's best macaroni and cheese."

Tommy walked closer. "It's the only thing she knows how to make." He smiled a small smile, rubbing Taylor on the arm. There was a knock on the door. Tommy stood. "I'll get it."

Tommy and Laurel walked toward the door.

Blank called out from the hallway outside the door. "Miss Lance? It's Lt. Kessel, SCPD." He put the barrel of the gun up to the peephole. "Your dad and sister asked me to check in."

Laurel walked closer. "Lieutenant, can you hold your badge up to the door, please?" She looked out through the peephole. Blank held up his fake badge. Laurel backed away from the door nervously. "Okay, great. Just one sec."

Laurel turned to Tommy, moving him away from the door.

"What?" Tommy asked.

"His badge number begins with a zero, and lieutenant's badge numbers begin with a one," Laurel answered.

Gunshots fired through the door.

Tommy and Laurel ran away toward Taylor.

Blank kicked in the door, walking in.

Tommy hid himself and Taylor behind the couch for cover.

Taylor was terrified, though he knew not to say anything.

Blank walked closer, firing at objects in the room to make it look like a break-in.

Taylor and Tommy could see Blank walking closer from beneath the couch.

"It was the badge that gave me away, right?" Blank asked.

"You know, my father and sister are cops," Laurel told him. Blank turned around toward the sound of her voice. Laurel stepped out of hiding with a shotgun, firing toward him. Blank dove out of the way. Laurel cocked the shotgun. "And that's not all they taught me."

Laurel tried to shoot again, but the gun jammed.

Blank turned to shoot Laurel.

Taylor and Tommy stood. "Don't!"

Jill/Sapphire and Oliver/Arrow crashed in through the window, making it shatter, making them all look at them.

Jill ran toward Laurel, Tommy and Taylor, tackling them behind a wall to where they were safe from the bullets and the shots that Blank fired at them.

Oliver shot an arrow into Blank's hand, making him drop the gun.

Blank ran behind the wall for cover, drawing another gun, shooting at Oliver.

Oliver took cover behind a desk.

Another man came up from behind Laurel, Tommy and Taylor, trying to shoot them. Jill jumped over the three of them to kick the man out of the window behind him, making him fall.

Blank was able to jump out of the window across the room.

Tommy looked from Oliver to Jill.

Oliver was still behind the desk, having been shot.

Jill got them both out.

➣➣  

The police were here, making it a crime scene. Again.

Jessica looked at Laurel. "I'm feeling like it might be time for you to move."

"The vigilantes, they saved us," Laurel told them. "Whoever Rasmus hired is going to keep coming until they finish the job, otherwise Rasmus will just hire someone else who will."

Lance sighed, looking at Tommy, Laurel and Taylor. "Okay, listen. I want the three of you in protective custody immediately." Jessica opened her mouth to speak. Lance pointed at her. "And don't even think about it. Last time you had any interaction with the vigilantes, you were shot and almost killed by Helena Bertinelli."

"To distract them so she could shoot the girl in blue, too, and get away," Jessica told him. "The vigilantes have been able to save our lives every other time. We can trust them. They won't let anything happen to us."

"Even if I was comfortable with the idea of the vigilantes watching over my daughters 24/7, which I'm not, something tells me they've got better things to do," Lance told them.

"What about Oliver?" Tommy asked.

"Sorry, you got another friend named Oliver?" Lance asked.

"The Queens have more security than the president," Tommy told them. "They've got cameras everywhere, bodyguards in every wing, and no one goes in or out without being accounted for. We all only want what is best for Laurel. And right now, that is to stay close to Oliver. Trust me."

"He's right, Dad," Jessica told him.

Lance sighed, nodding.

Day Three

Morning - Queen Mansion - Foyer

Justin let Taylor, Laurel and Tommy into the house, introducing them to another bodyguard. "This is Mr. Robbins. Where you go, he goes. You'll be very well protected, Miss Lance."

"Thank you," Laurel told him.

John, Oliver, Moira, Skylar and Jill walked closer.

"I hand-selected these men myself," John told them. "The house and the grounds are completely secure."

"Please make yourselves at home," Moira told them.

Skylar knelt in front of the little seven year old boy. "You must be Taylor." Taylor nodded. "How about Skylar and I show you where we hide the good cookies?"

Taylor nodded.

Skylar and Thea led Taylor into another room

"Miss Wright, whenever you're ready, we can take you to your next appointment," John told her. "The Lawton meeting."

Jill nodded. "Yes. I just need to swing by the club and pick up a good suit. So, I'll meet you there."

"Of course," Justin told her.

John and Justin walked out, leaving.

Tommy looked at Jill. "You're leaving?"

"There's something else I need to take care of," Jill told them. "It's important. But Oliver will be here with you guys."

Jill walked out, leaving.

Night - Big Belly Burger

(Song:) Rise Again - Uncle Daddy

Thea and Roy were sitting on the same side of the booth, eating.

"You know, chewing might help," Thea told him.

Roy chuckled. "Not dainty enough for you?"

"I could eat you under the table, Roy Harper," Thea told him. "Don't forget that."

Man: (on radio) "All units, code 10-80. Starling City Port. 10-80..."

"What is that?" Thea asked.

Man: (on radio) "Suspected vigilante activity, requesting all available units."

Roy looked down.

Thea looked at him in surprise. "Do you have a police radio in your pocket?"

Roy shook his head. "No, I'm just happy to see you." He kissed Thea, standing. "Got to run."

Roy walked away.

Thea watched him go, completely stunned. "What?"

(Song Ends)

➣ 

Starling City Port

Roy drove up to the part on a motorcycle, getting off, taking the police radio out of his pocket.

Jessica: (on radio) "Nice evening, huh?"

A police car drove up to the Roy.

Jessica got out of the car along with two officers, walking toward Roy, smirking. "Hey. I think you've got something that belongs to me."

"You set this up, just to get your radio back?" Roy asked.

"Well..." Jessica trailed off, taking the radio from Roy. "I do love that radio." The police officers with Jessica handcuffed Roy. "Come on."

Verdant - Basement

Jill was in the hideout with Felicity, getting suited up.

"I'm uploading a satellite overview of the plaza to your phone," Felicity told her.

"Thanks, but I know the place," Jill told her.

"Dig was pretty specific about where you should perch," Felicity told her. "You know, what position gives you the best shot at Lawton. I think. He used a lot of military jargon. So you're sniping a sniper. Kind of ironic, don't you think?" Jill walked closer, picking up her mask from the table. "Me, neither."

Jill heard a beeping. "What's that?"

"I had a remote access Trojan scouring the Internet for Edward Rasmus," Felicity explained. "His name just popped up on a flight manifest, 8:15 to Shanghai..."

"He's running," Jill told her.

"That's good, right?" Felicity asked. "If he's leaving town, he won't be after Laurel and the child anymore. But if you did want to stop him, looks like it's now or never. Deadshot or Rasmus. Your choice."

Jill sighed in frustration, walking away.

➣ 

Plaza

Kira and Karma were sitting on a bench.

Justin and John stood at two separate entrances.

Lyla was sitting in a chair, watching the twins. "Trap one, this is Harbinger. I have targets in sight. Anyone have eyes on Lawton or his vantage point?"

The man nearby sitting at a table shook his head.

Kira and Karma looked around, obviously aware of being watched and that several of the people in the plaza weren't ordinary people, but ARGUS agents, including a so-called janitor and security guard.

Justin checked his watch, seeing that Jill was late. "Damn it, Jill. Where are you?"

➣ 

On the Road - Limo

Rasmus was in the back of the limo, on the phone. "Eh, just until this CNRI mess dies down. And if it doesn't, two best things about China. Wantons and no extradition treaty." He chuckled. The driver slowed down. "Hey, hey, I thought I was paying you extra not to stop at the reds."

➣ 

On the Road

Jill/Sapphire was on the road, driving on her motorcycle while suited up, going after Rasmus so he didn't get away, driving alongside the limo he was inside, using her sword to cut the limo tire, making them pull over.

➣ 

Plaza

Justin, John and the ARGUS agents were watching Kira and Karma while looking out for Floyd.

Kira and Karma looked toward the windows as if they sensed danger.

Kira saw a red laser light shining in from the window.

➣ 

Building Rooftop

Floyd was on the building rooftop next door, taking aim at Karma. He took his shot.

➣ 

Plaza

Kira and Karma ducked for cover behind two separate tables, looking at each other.

"I told you," Kira told her.

"Shut up," Karma told her.

Everyone started to scream and run.

The ARGUS agents went into action, walking closer to the twins.

Floyd took another shot.

John tackled Lyla to the floor to save her from being shot.

Justin was shooting outside toward Floyd.

John checked on his ex-wife. "Lyla."

The three other ARGUS agents walked toward Kira and Karma, raising their guns.

Kira and Karma stood from behind cover of the tables.

"Stand down," Agent 1 told them.

Kira and Karma raised their hands to their heads like they would surrender.

Kira kicked the gun out of Agent 1's hands, kneeing him in the stomach, punching him in the face, making him turn away, slamming him against a nearby pillar. Agent 1 tried to grab his gun from the floor. Kira drew her staff, slamming it against his head, making him fall.

Karma punched Agent 2 in the face, slamming him against the floor. Agent 3 tried to shoot her. Karma ducked, kicking Agent 3 in the face, making him fall to the floor and drop the gun. They both reached for it, though he grabbed it first. Karma kicked the gun out of his hands. 

Agent 2 stood. Kira tried to kick him. Agent 2 caught her leg, grabbing her by her waist, lifting her up to throw her to the ground, but Kira maneuvered out of his grasp to wrap her legs around his neck, flipping them both to the floor, making him land on his back, landing in a crouch, looking up. 

John and Justin ran out of the building to go after Floyd.

Agent 3 rolled toward his gun on the floor, picking it up. Karma ran closer, tackling him through a window in the wall, making it shatter and both fall to the floor on the other side on their backs. Agent 3 aimed his gun at her.

The other agents aimed their guns at both the twins.

Lyla stood, walking closer, aiming her gun. "Enough! We know that you've both been on the run and been targets ever since your last visit to Starling City. We're not trying to kill you."

"Then what are you trying to do?" Karma asked, standing.

"Take down Floyd Lawton," Lyla answered. "Deadshot. The man who just tried to kill you both on someone else's contract. We can help you. We just need you to help us."

Kira and Karma looked at each other, breathing heavily, considering their options.

Building Next Door

John ran into Floyd on the stairwell. Floyd tackled him into the wall. John punched him in the face, making him let go. 

Floyd punched him in the face repeatedly, kicking him in the stomach, making him back away. He aimed two guns at him. "On your knees. On your knees." John knelt to the grounds. "Hands behind your head." John put his hands behind his head, glaring. "I saw you coming a mile away. Thanks for tipping me off."

"I'll kill you for what you did to Andy," John told him.

"I'd be pulling these triggers right now, except there's nobody paying me," Floyd told him. He pulled down his shirt to show him the tattoo of Andy's name. "I got space for you right here, right next to your brother. You'd do best to remember that."

Floyd started to strangle John.

Justin arrived, aiming a gun at Floyd's head, kicking him in the head, making him let go of John, aiming another gun at him. "You'd do best to remember he didn't come alone."

Floyd chuckled. "I didn't, either." Another man jumped down from the stairwell behind Justin, spinning to kick the guns out of his hands, making them fall, backhand punching him in the face. "Meet my contractor."

Floyd hit John in the head with his gun hard enough to make him fall unconscious.

Justin kicked the contractor in the stomach, punching him in the face, kicking him in the legs, making him fall to his knees, punching him in the face, flipping him to the floor. The contractor grabbed Justin, slamming him against the wall, hitting him in the head with his gun, kicking his head against the wall. Justin kneed him in the stomach, making him let go, headbutting his head against his face, making him back away. Floyd ran toward him from behind, tackling him down the stairs, making them both fall into the wall at the bottom of the staircase, slamming his gun against Justin's chest.

Floyd and the contractor ran away, leaving.

Justin was holding his chest in pain, breathing heavily.

Verdant - Basement

Felicity was bandaging John and Justin up after their fight.

Jill/Sapphire walked in, taking off her mask. "What happened?"

"You didn't show, things didn't go well," John answered.

"Rasmus was skipping town, and I had to reprioritize," I told him.

"You could have stopped Lawton, ended this maniac once and for all," John told her.

"Lawton got away?" Jill asked.

John stood. "You seriously think a man who goes by the name Deadshot was going down without a fight? I needed you there, Jill."

"Taylor Moore was going to die, John," Jill told him. "Once he was sent off to his grandparents, Rasmus would've found him and put a bullet in him. Even Oliver and I can't stop countrywide threats. I'm sorry." John didn't answer, walking out, leaving. Justin sighed, looking down. "Something to say, Justin?"

"Nothing that would end well without me picking a side," Justin answered. "And I hate picking sides."

"We both do," Felicity told her.

Jill sighed, turning away.

Flashback

Day - Lian Yu - Woods

Oliver and Jill were in the woods, still taking target practice.

Oliver tried to shoot the tree with the bow and arrow, missing his target.

Jill was sharpening her knives, sitting on a tree stump. "You're thinking too much."

"Nobody ever accused me of that before," Oliver told her. Jill stood, throwing two knives into two different trees, making them embed into the bark. "Showoff."

"Shado taught me well," Jill told him. "I see the target in the distance, I feel the variation in the wind, I take aim, and I let go. She taught me that the trick is not to think about it. It's to give in to your senses."

Oliver looked at Jill, nodding.

Now

Night - Queen Mansion - Living Room

Laurel was sitting on the couch, looking at a picture of her and Oliver at a party.

Moira took a seat next to her. "You looked so beautiful that night." She set out tea. "I remember Oliver telling me once that he wished your father would let him come over to your house more often. That being there made him feel less like Robert Queen's son and more like himself. I liked who my son was when he was around you."

Laurel smiled a small smile. "Thank you."

Oliver walked in. "Hey. The police just called. Edward Rasmus was arrested."

Laurel stood. "Really? What happened?"

 "Apparently he confessed to everything," Oliver told them. "He's going to go to prison for a long time and won't be able to hurt anyone ever again."

"Why would he confess?" Laurel asked.

"The vigilantes were involved," Oliver answered.

Tommy walked in. "Good for them."

"So, I guess it's over," Laurel told them.

Oliver nodded. "Yes. Yeah."

"Great," Tommy answered. "Taylor's with Skylar. I'm gonna go get him."

Moira stood. "No, Tommy, please. Skylar's been getting him to sleep. He's been through a lot. Now you all are welcome to stay. We certainly have enough room."

Tommy nodded, looking at Laurel. "It's your call."

"Thank you, Mrs. Queen," Laurel told her. "I guess we'll stay, then."

"Good," Moira told them.

Oliver nodded.

Police Precinct

Rasmus was handcuffed to the table.

A police officer let Mr. Blank inside. "Your lawyer's here."

The officer walked out, leaving.

Blank set his briefcase on the table, sitting down. "I'd like to discuss loose ends."

"You didn't get my message?" Rasmus asked. "Forget about the Moore boy. I've already confessed. That freak show with the swords and knives told me she'd cause me a world of pain if I didn't."

"We need to make this meeting appear legitimate," Blank told him, showing him paperwork. "Lawyer stuff." He held a pen toward him. "Sign here, please."

"Am I clear?" Rasmus asked. "You leave the boy alone."

Blank took Rasmus by the wrist, putting the pen in his hand. "I wish I could. But he's seen my face. Just like you." He put pressure on his wrist, taking the pen away. "If you put pressure in just the right areas above the forearm, like I did to you, an embolism will form in the medial antebrachial vein. When the air pocket reaches your heart in..." He checked his watch. "Give or take, fifteen seconds..." He put the paperwork into the briefcase, closing it. "You'll die. It's relatively painless." He stood. "Oh, nothing personal. We're done here."

Blank walked out, leaving.

Rasmus seemed to be having a heart attack, grabbing his chest in pain.

Main Room

Blank walked out, walking past Thea as she walked in, leaving.

Thea looked at a nearby police officer. "Excuse me. I'm looking for my boyfriend. He's kind of a regular around here. Piercing blue eyes, and may or may not have stolen a police radio."

The police officer nodded in the direction behind her. "Yeah, that's him. Behind you."

Thea turned around, walking toward Roy, seeing that he was handcuffed to the chair he was sitting in. "Well, that's a nice look. What were you thinking?"

Lance walked closer. "Well, if it isn't Thea Queen."

"He's very sorry for stealing the radio, and he won't ever bug you or steal anything from you guys ever again," Thea told him.

"Both of you, come with me," Lance told them, tossing the key to the handcuffs to Roy.

Roy used the key to unlock the handcuffs.

➣ 

Morgue

Lance led Thea and Roy inside.

"What are we doing down here?" Thea asked.

"Well, your boyfriend is so interested in the vigilantes, I thought he might like to meet someone who's already made the hood's acquaintance," Lance told her, pulling out a body from a freezer.

Thea looked away. "Oh, God."

"Who was he?" Roy asked.

"Well, that's the thing," Lance told them. "When you're alive, you get a name. When you wind up down here, you get a number. Meet 26." He pulled out an arrow from the evidence bag, putting it into the hole in the body's chest. "See, your pal, the hood, he's already sent 26 stiffs down here since he and the girl in blue started their little war."

"Maybe this guy deserved it," Roy told him.

"Maybe he did," Lance told them. "But that's not how justice works. You see, the vigilantes, they don't have to answer to anyone but themselves, and that's a very dangerous power to give to any two people."

"The hood saved my life," Roy told him. "He and the girl in blue both saved your daughters, more than once."

Lance took the arrow out of the body's chest. "And how do you know tomorrow, they won't just as easily take them?" He put the body into the freezer, nodding to the door. "Get out of here."

Thea looked at Roy. "Let's go. Come on."

Thea and Roy walked out, leaving.

Queen Mansion - Skylar's Room 

Taylor was sitting on Skylar's bed, messing with a few of his stuffed animals from his home.

Skylar was watching from the doorway. She walked closer. "Hey, Taylor. You thirsty? I can get you some juice."

Taylor looked up. "I miss my mom and dad."

Skylar looked at him sadly, sitting on the bed in front of him to look him in the eye. "A few years ago, my dad and my brother were setting off to the ocean in a boat." Oliver walked in, stopping in the doorway when he saw them talking. "Then the next thing I knew, there was a police officer at my door. He said that they were gone and that I would never see them again. But you know what? He was wrong."

"You saw them?" Taylor asked.

Skylar nodded. "Mm-hmm. My brother came back, but my father didn't. But every time I close my eyes, I can see him. Every time I go to bed, I see him in my dreams."

"Really?" Taylor asked.

"Yeah," Skylar answered. Oliver smiled a small smile. "Now try it. Close your eyes."

Taylor closed his eyes, looking down, thinking about his parents really hard. "I see them."

Taylor opened his eyes, looking up.

"Whenever you are sad, or scared, just remember that they will always be there," Skylar told him.

Taylor was crying silently.

Skylar wrapped her arms around him.

"You constantly surprise me, Sky," Oliver told her.

Skylar turned to look at Oliver, looking at Taylor. "I'll be back, okay?"

Taylor nodded.

Skylar stood, walking out of the room.

➣ 

Hallway

Skylar closed the door to talk to Oliver alone.

"He's safe now, Skylar," Oliver told her.

Skylar sighed. "With a hard road ahead of him."

"Well, he's lucky to have you looking out for him while he's here," Oliver told her. "I know the feeling."

Skylar smiled a small smile. "When you first got home, I didn't think that you changed much. But you have, and... it's nice to see."

Oliver smiled a small smile. "Thank you."

Taylor walked out of the room to look up at Skylar. "Can I get some juice?"

Skylar smiled. "Yeah, you can get some juice. You know why?" Taylor shook his head. "'Cause I'm thirsty, too. Let's go."

Skylar took Taylor by the hand, leading him down the hallway.

Oliver watched them go, smiling a small smile.

Foyer

Mr. Robbins walked downstairs.

Man: (on radio) "I have a delivery van coming in for Miss Lance. His ID checks out."

Robbins walked toward the door. "Thanks for the heads up."

Robbins walked in.

The man that had helped Blank in Laurel's apartment walked in. His ID said his name was Seth. "For Miss Lance."

Seth shot through the package he was holding to shoot Robbins in the chest, killing him, making him fall.

Blank walked in, searching with his gun. He smirked. "What a beautiful home."

➣➣  

Seth stepped over the body of Robbins. "Hmm. Such pain here. A sense of loss and regret. You can feel it, down to the wood paneling."

The power went out.

➣ 

Kitchen 

Skylar and Taylor were getting juices, being guarded by two guards.

Skylar looked at the guards. "It's an old house. Fuses blow all the time. It's probably nothing."

"We'll check anyway, Miss Queen," Guard 1 told her. "Take Taylor somewhere safe."

Skylar nodded in agreement.

Foyer

Blank walked upstairs, shooting Guard 3, killing him. He shot Guard 4 in the stomach, making him fall, walking closer. "Where's the child? This house is quite large, and I don't particularly care to check every room." Guard 4 didn't answer. "Very well. Have it your way."

Blank shot him in the heart, killing him.

Oliver walked closer.

Blank tried to shoot him.

Oliver ducked, running closer, tackling Blank to the stairwell floor. Blank stood. Oliver tried to punch him. Blank ducked, trying to grab Oliver. Oliver flipped him to the floor. Blank stood. Oliver kicked him in the chest, making him back away, running closer, jumping onto the railing to jump toward Blank to deliver a nasty punch to the face, landing on his feet. Blank tried to kick Oliver. Oliver ducked, kicking Blank in the stomach, making him fall down the stairs. He leaped over the stairs to land next to Blank, grabbing onto the railing to spin and kick Blank in the face. Blank stood, trying to punch him. Oliver ducked, punching him repeatedly.

Blank grabbed his wrist to stop him. "What happened to you on that island?"

Oliver punched him in the face. "You're about to find out."

➣ 

Hallway

Skylar and Taylor heard the fighting, but couldn't see who was fighting.

Skylar was trying to get Taylor back to her room for protection. Seth stepped out from around the corner, aiming a gun at them, shooting. Skylar pulled Taylor behind the wall for safety, putting her hand over his mouth to stop him from screaming out. Seth walked closer. Skylar saw the gun from around the corner, kicking the gun out of his hands, spinning to face Seth, punching him repeatedly. Seth landed a few blows himself that Skylar was able to take, deflect or block without slowing down.

Foyer

Oliver and Blank fell over the railing on the stairwell, landing on the table down below, making it break into pieces, and both of them grunt and groan in pain. Blank grabbed Oliver around the neck from behind, standing, trying to strangle him. Oliver broke free, grabbing an iron poker from the fireplace. Blank walked closer, aiming a gun at Oliver. Oliver used the poker to push the gun away, slashing it into his leg, making him fall to his knees, driving the poker through his chest, killing him, letting him fall.

➣ 

Hallway

Seth drew a blade, trying to stab Skylar. Skylar caught his wrist, slamming it against the wall, making him drop the knife. Seth punched her in the stomach, trying to punch her in the head. Skylar ducked, slamming his head into the wall, making him break a painting on the wall, kneeing him in the stomach, kicking him in the chest, making him back away, running toward him, jumping up to tackle him to the floor, rolling away toward the wall behind him, turning to face him in a crouch.

Seth picked up his gun, aiming at Skylar, making her stop.

"You're stupid for coming back here," Skylar told him.

"Why's that?" Seth asked, about to pull the trigger to kill her.

Jessica arrived behind Seth, shooting him in the back twice, making him fall.

Skylar was breathing heavily, letting herself lower from the crouch to a kneeling position on the floor, tilting her head back in relief. "That's why."

Jessica walked closer, kicking the gun away from Seth, kneeling next to him to check his pulse. When she didn't find one, she looked at Skylar. "You okay?"

Skylar nodded, breathing heavily.

Taylor ran out of hiding toward Skylar, running into her arms. 

Skylar held him close comfortingly.

Foyer

The police were taking the bodies away.

Oliver, Skylar, Moira, Laurel, Tommy, Jessica and Lance watched them.

"Death by poker," Lance told them. "That's a new one."

"He was going to shoot me," Oliver told him. "And then, uh, Mr. Robbins, he grabbed the poker and... saved my life."

"Mr. Robbins was a real hero," Tommy told them. "So are you, Jessica. If it weren't for you two, we'd all be dead."

"We've got enough details for our reports," Lance told them. "We'll clear the boys out of here." He turned around, walking toward the police. "Let's go."

Jessica turned to leave.

Skylar turned after her. "Jessica..." Jessica turned back. "Thank you. You saved my life."

Jessica smiled a small smile, putting a hand on Skylar's arm. "You took care of Taylor, Skylar. You saved his life. You're a hero, too."

Jessica walked out with the remaining police, leaving.

Jill and Thea walked in.

Thea sighed, looking at Skylar worriedly. "Oh, Sky, thank God." Thea and Skylar embraced in relief. "I heard what happened. I was so worried."

Oliver wrapped his arms around his sisters.

Moira looked at them in relief, sighing. "Thank heavens."

Oliver, Skylar and Thea pulled away from their embrace.

Jill looked at Skylar worriedly, putting a hand on her arm. "Are you okay?"

Skylar nodded. "Yeah. I'm fine."

Skylar looked away toward the stairs as Laurel and Tommy led Taylor upstairs, smiling a small smile at the fact that the child was still alive, and it was because of her.

Thea and Roy were standing on the porch, talking.

"I know," Roy told her. "You think I'm an idiot."

"I always thought you were an idiot," Thea told him. "Now I think you're brain dead."

Roy chuckled. "Yeah, you're probably right."

"Look, I don't understand this, Roy," Thea told him. "Why is finding the vigilantes so important to you?"

"I can't stop replaying that night in my head," Roy told her. "That night I got kidnapped by that psycho, I just... I thought I was going to die."

"But you didn't," Thea told him.

"Yeah, because of the hood," Roy told her. "And the girl in the blue... she's saved lives, too."

"You don't owe them anything," Thea told him.

Roy shook his head. "You're wrong. I owe them everything. This entire city does. And I can't go back to the way things were, Thea. I can't just go back to being nothing. You're the one that keeps telling me that I can be better than who I am, and this... this is my chance to be. I can't explain it, but... it feels like my life is connected to theirs."

Thea sighed, nodding, licking her lips contemplatively. "So let's find them." Roy looked at her in surprise. "I can tell this means the world to you. And you mean the world to me. So let's find them." Roy smiled a small smile, turning to face her. "You and me. Vigilantes, here we come."

Roy chuckled, pulled her into his arms. Thea laid her head on his chest.

"Jill, you spend too much time apologizing," John told her.

"Just like I'm doing what I have to," John told her, sighing. "We're done."
