Arrow

Previously on "Arrow"...

The Quadrant.

You know, I heard about these guys when I was working undercover.

I never could get anyone to confirm their existence.

Yeah, well, they are real.

High-end cartel ruled by moneyed families

with ties to all things black market.

We think Diaz may be helping her with that operation.

You said you were an honorable man.

Now, I think you know Diaz isn't.

Help me stop him.

I'm moving on to plan B--

killing Oliver Queen

and everyone he cares about.

Uh, Dad, there's a shell in this one.

Uh, yes, there is.

Oh, isn't the pan hot?

Ow. It's immensely hot,

but when we are doing breakfast for dinner

at Chez Queen, we do it right.

Salt me, please, Felicity.

What?

Could you pass the salt, please, quickly when you get a chance?

I can not put salt on this if it's

gonna put that expression on your face.

It's not about the salt, Oliver.

Ok.

Call me when dinner's ready.

Ok, well, you have officially scared him away,

so, ahem, you want to tell me what's going on with you?

Oliver, it's just you're in here pretending

like you weren't almost put in prison for the rest of your life.

Ok, we almost lost you.

And the man who tried to put you there is

still out there controlling the city,

and you're just in here scrambling eggs, Oliver.

Yup. Ok, first, I'm gonna stop him.

Second...

I am in here scrambling eggs

because I just wanted a night--

one night-- to remind myself

what I'm fighting for.

Ok, I guess I can compartmentalize that.

I can help you with that.

Arm strength's back.

Motor function's restored.

All signs of the nerve damage you had are gone.

Do you mind telling me how you did this?

Sorry, doc. NDA.

So if he's in the clear,

does that mean no more checkups?

Well, you guys are good to go.

- Enjoy date night. - Thank you.

Thank you, doctor.

I'll take care of the paperwork.

- Good. - I think we still have time

to make the Shabu Shabu place.

Good.

And over here is the polyrase inhibitor.

Felicity and I had to take out, like,

3 big loans just to buy it, but it's great.

You know, when you asked me to meet you at your work,

I, uh...

You thought that I had a fantasy about

fooling around in an office?

I thought it was your way

of milking another hour out of work.

Well, I just thought that you'd like to see

how I spend my days.

I mean, this is some pretty cutting-edge tech.

Which is gonna make us late for our reservation.

Ok, Mr. punctuality.

Let me just shut down the rest of the equipment.

He shoots, he scores!

Nope. Off the post.

Ah, damn.

Ok, you know what?

When everything settles down,

I'm getting us the best seats in the house.

You do know it's like 400 bucks a ticket.

Then they will have obstructed views.

Nah! Anything for my baby, ok?

Dad, quiet.

At least wait for a whistle if you want to talk.

Ok, ok.

I'll give you the courtesy of putting that back in

before we start this.

Does it have to be in that order?

Hyah!

- You work for Ricardo Diaz. - Who?

You want to play that game?

Good. I need to blow off some steam.

My mom and I used to eat breakfast for dinner

all the time, except it wasn't ironic,

because she worked nights, so...

I mean, not like that!

At least I hope not.

Are you gonna get it, Dad?

No. That's one of the perks of being impeached.

No interruptions.

Oliver, get the phone.

Get the phone.

Ok.

Who was it?

Anatoly.

Get down!

When I move, get William into the bedroom

and shut the door, ok?

Are you two ok?

Yeah.

Are--are they dead?

No, but they're down.

Oh.

- What? - Trouble.

You know, you're gonna wake up in a couple hours.

Your heads are gonna be throbbing.

You're gonna regret not talking.

Oh. You were just the bait.

Lyla, behind you!

- I had him. - I know you did, honey.

Look at me. Stay with me. Stay with me.

Don't look.

One bullet, back of the head.

You won't even feel it.

You know the cool thing about sound waves?

They bounce.

Mr. Oliver?

Ohh. I'm glad you are all right.

Thank you for coming so quickly.

I was close. Where are the men?

I tied them up. They're unconscious.

Hey, I just spoke to Rene, Dinah, and John.

They're ok.

Good. Wait. What about Curtis?

He's ok. His boyfriend isn't.

He has to go into surgery.

Starling General is not secure.

No, no. Lyla sent them to the A.R.G.U.S. med-bay.

They're gonna be ok.

Quentin?

Quentin said that Diaz isn't gonna attack the mayor.

He's too much in the public eye.

But Laurel's in the wind.

What about us?

That's why I called Raisa, ok?

We're gonna put you into A.R.G.U.S. custody.

They're gonna keep you safe.

You're not coming, are you?

No. I have to stay here.

I have to finish this.

You're gonna go with Raisa and Felicity.

Oh, actually, buddy,

I'm not coming either.

I would like you

far away from here and safe.

Oliver, this is my fight as much as it is yours.

I'm not going anywhere.

As the Green Arrow,

I have gone up against some terrible people

who have tried to do terrible things.

Hey, look at me.

And I'm still here.

That doesn't mean you always will be.

You're right.

William, I just started being your dad, ok?

I love being your dad.

And nothing is gonna take me away from you,

especially not Ricardo Diaz.

Kick his ass.

John and Lyla are on their way?

Yeah. But why are you having them come here?

Because our bunker is not secure.

Yeah. Why would Diaz do all of this now?

He could've moved on us months ago.

Diaz wanted me in prison

to avoid making a martyr of the Green Arrow.

With me out of the picture, he would've come after you.

It didn't go that way.

Well, I'm not liking his plan B.

This is the feed from our surveillance cameras.

Son of a bitch.

What are we doing just watching?

Let's go there now.

There's no time, Rene.

Diaz has numbers, which means he has tactical advantage.

John's right.

Bunkers and equipment can be replaced.

We need to look at the big picture.

Are our families on the way to the safe house?

Better. NORAD bunker in Colorado.

Oh, no, no. Not the--

Should've done this months ago.

Torch it.

We leave now, we could snag a couple,

send a message.

Don't worry. You'll get your chance.

Just have patience, Rene.

Dinah's right. Diaz is making his move.

We will make ours carefully and precisely.

End this tonight.
