Arrow

My name was Oliver Queen.

For three years, I worked to save my city.

But to save my sister, I had to become someone else.

I had to become something else.

Previously, on "arrow"...

Roy's alive. We faked his death.

He's starting a new life.

John.

Oliver?

Bring Nyssa to the warehouse

at Fullerton and Halstead...

and I'll let your wife go.

There's no way I'm getting him back.

He's gone, Felicity. There's only thing left of him now--us.

Do you recognize this?

The Alpha and Omega bioweapon.

You will unleash this on Starling City.

His fever is getting worse!

Maseo!

A pharmacy!

The Romans call it "vastatio."

The systemic destruction of a land to insure its subjugation.

And what they found was

that immolation left a blank slate to build anew.

Until you have destroyed your home

and severed all ties from your old life,

can you begin anew.

I did not foresee the day that Maseo Yamashiro

appeared at my door.

You had the courage

to demand an audience of me.

And those who do usually offer money and treasure

in exchange for my favor.

But you gave me the Alpha and Omega.

The plane is en route.

It will be ready tomorrow, as you've commanded.

You will marry my daughter,

and you will ascend to Ra's al Ghul,

and then you will fly to Starling City

carrying death itself.

I hate when they run!

Well, at least you're getting your cardio workout in.

I still have 40 minutes on an elliptical

in my immediate future.

You supposed to be undercover or something?

I sniffed you three blocks back.

You led me right to your gang.

Smart plan.

Thanks.

No, I meant smart plan...

Because it was mine.

John, I think he gives up!

John!

John!

Thanks for coming in through the back.

With Sara and Lyla gone, the last thing I need

are the neighbors talking.

About some strange woman dressed in all black leather,

Yeah.

You're out of ice.

How can you be out of ice?

Here.

Thanks.

Ok, so the night's young,

and there's a meth dealer working a corner on Fulton.

Sounds good.

Actually, it doesn't.

You were completely unhinged out there tonight, Dig.

You're in denial about how angry you are.

No, Felicity, I'm not in denial.

But I am angry!

Oliver.

He was my best friend.

And he kidnapped...

my wife.

And you think that justifies hospitalizing people?

No, Felicity, it doesn't,

you're right. It won't happen again.

I'm not saying that life doesn't suck right now,

but you can't go around the city taking it out on every criminal you see.

How can you, out of all people, be so sanguine

after what happened last week?

Because I know that that wasn't Oliver.

Now who's in denial?

It wasn't!

Our Oliver, my Oliver,

died the day he joined the League.

This is someone else!

You truly believe that?

I have to.

Don't try to talk me out of going.

Mr. Harper went through a lot of trouble to fake his death.

You know he can never come back here.

Yeah, well, maybe I'm just going to go there.

Permanently?

Look, I don't know.

Honestly, I--I don't know anything anymore.

I barely know who I am.

Thea, it's understandable.

You've been through something

very few people have ever experienced.

Of course you feel--

Is that what you think this is all about?

Almost dying? Because I'd rather have died

than have my brother sacrifice his life for mine.

And don't think for a second

that I forgot the whole reason Ra's al Ghul was brought into our lives

is because of you.

You're no longer in danger from the League.

Maybe getting away from Starling City for a while

is--is what's best for you.

You approve?

Is that supposed to worry me?

'Cause it actually kind of does.

Look, the only thing I know right now...

Is that I need to go be with Roy.

My daughter.

I am not hungry.

Ah, yes.

Many a bride has skipped a meal or two before their wedding day.

I would rather die than wed this pretender.

Well, you speak as though they are the only two options

before you, my daughter.

Daughter.

And to think, I once wore that title with pride.

Perhaps "mother" will suit you better.

After your betrothal to Al Sah-him,

you will extend my lineage by having a child of your own.

If you think I will bear his child--

Yes! I do.

And you will have no more say in it than your mother was given.

You're quiet.

I'm prepared for my ascension to Ra's.

But I'm still...

coming to grips with marriage.

Perhaps a walk to clear my head.

I will send a guard to accompany you.

If I can't protect myself,

I don't deserve to inherit your mantle.

You're late.

Sorry.

Nanda Parbat's not exactly the easiest place to infiltrate.

Don't joke!

Things are worse than we thought.

Tomorrow?

Ra's plans to transport

the virus to Starling on a plane.

That is oddly modern for the League.

Do you think Ra's suspects you?

He has no reason to.

I warned you it would be difficult.

I just thought that I'd--

ahem--we'd have more time,

when you explained to me that my ascension to Ra's

would include the destruction of Starling.

I anticipated you wouldn't be Ra's for months.

More than enough time to dismantle the League from the inside.

Malcolm, we need help.

From all accounts, you were...

too good at convincing your friends

that you'd allied yourself with Ra's,

and I don't think I carry much credibility with them.

I know someone who they'll trust.

You've been gone a while.

There was concern.

I've just been here thinking.

We need to find ibuprofen!

You know that can't help him now.

Why isn't the inoculant working on him?!

He's young. His immune system probably isn't strong enough.

Akio!

Swallow.

Okaasan...Boku kowaiyo.

Shinitaku naiyo...

General Shrieve...

Maseo. I want to kill Shrieve, too,

but you need to focus on helping Akio!

Shrieve's men made a vaccine.

Maybe they also made a cure.

No, Maseo, they didn't make a cure!

I know it's unlikely,

but I have to try.

Ok.

I'll help you.

Hi, I'm looking for Jason.

Oh, yeah? Well, lucky him.

Yo, Jason. Got a visitor.

Jason?

That's right.

I have a '67 Mustang that needs a little work on it.

Somebody said you were the guy to see.

You came to the right place.

I can't believe you're still alive.

Look, I wanted to tell you,

but if you knew, you'd tell Oliver.

And then Oliver would have...

Would have broken you out of prison.

Yeah.

And probably kicked your ass.
