Arrow

My name is Oliver Queen.

After 5 years in Hell, I returned home

with only one goal-- to save my city.

Today, I fight that war on two fronts.

By day, I lead Star City as its mayor,

but by night, I am someone else.

I am...Something else.

I am the Green Arrow.

Previously on "Arrow"...

Traitor! I'm taking you to hell with--

Sorry you didn't get to know your father.

I guess you're stuck knowing me.

What I saw in her is what I see here.

Sounds crazy, but if there is,

there's--there's some way to get through to her.

We have a massively huge problem.

- What is it? - The nanothermite when combined

with the explosive creates a thermobaric weapon.

Cayden James could do it,

and he'd probably detonate it in a populated area.

Maximize casualties.

Your city's entire infrastructure

is under my control--

buildings, institutions, even people

all under my dominion.

These are innocent people.

And you can save them by wiring $10 million

into that offshore account no later than 11:30 tonight

and every night.

Wire the money.

All right. We're all set here.

Captain Hill, thank you for stepping up

to lead the department.

I wish it was under better circumstances.

After tonight, they will be.

All right. Take me through the details.

We know Cayden James is monitoring traffic

in and out of the city--airports, highways, ports,

but the shoreline might be the blind spot.

Specifically, right here, there's no satellite

flyover for about 10 minutes.

- That's our window. - And SWAT has the perimeter,

so no one's getting in or out without us knowing it.

Good. When do we make contact?

Should be any minute.

Mr. Mayor, I'm Alex Scott, A.R.G.U.S.

- Good to meet you. - We're good to move?

Yes.

All clear on shore. Exit, exit.

- Ugh! - What's wrong?

No. Just some weird feedback.

Are your comms line of sight?

No. We're patched in.

You got to get those things off!

Aah!

Got to get the other divers out of the water!

== sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man

$70 million.

Ahem. At this point, we've got maybe another day or two.

What about the federal government?

I mean, don't they have plans for this kind of stuff?

A.R.G.U.S was our best shot,

and Cayden James was ready for it.

I--I think that we are on our own.

So does that mean I go forward

with the emergency bomb shelters?

Yeah. We need a contingency.

It--it won't save everyone,

but it's a-- it's a start.

How's William holding up?

Doing as well as can be expected.

He's holed up at an A.R.G.U.S. safe house

with Raisa and a PlayStation 4.

You look like you could use some rest.

I'll get some if you will.

Like brother, like sister, I guess.

Hey. Don't worry, ok?

Cayden James is not the first guy to try to take our city hostage.

We will figure it out.

Cayden James' hold on Star City has reached 8 days

and counting now with all routes

in and out of the city under James' control.

Though Mayor Queen has urged for calm,

tensions are running high as the threat

of the thermobaric bomb continues to loom.

With supplies running low and desperation growing,

many are left wondering,

how long will the city last before it implodes?

That's a damn good question.

You're late.

Sorry. SCPD's been dealing with the fallout

from last night's debacle.

I didn't know about the A.R.G.U.S. team

until after Cayden killed them.

You believe me, right?

Cayden James likes to play things close to the vest,

even with the people he's supposedly in league with.

Which makes finding the location

of the thermobaric bomb very difficult.

You believe me, right,

about not knowing about the A.R.G.U.S. divers?

I already told you I do.

I guess what I'm asking is

do you trust me?

Does that answer your question?

- Sorry I'm late. - Don't be sorry.

Just don't be late.

Vincent Sobel, meet Dinah Drake.

Tina Boland is my cover name.

Tina Boland? You got quite the rep.

No idea you were a cop.

That's the idea, isn't it?

Vince has spent the last 8 months

in Sean Sonus' operation.

And he is smart.

He makes sure that no one person ever sees

enough of the whole picture.

Sounds like you could use an extra set of hands.

And eyes and ears.

I got to tell you,

Sonus isn't just smart.

He's unpredictable.

This could go south fast.

When do we start?

Didn't know we were having a clubhouse meeting.

Only boys allowed today or what?

Ms. Lance is en route.

This is less a meeting than it is a wake

for Mr. Sheck.

He bought the farm a week ago.

I didn't think we were sentimental like that.

It's not sentimental.

Surprised.

Oliver would not kill man this way.

None of his team would.

The place wasn't lacking for cops.

One of them probably took him out.

What's really behind this sudden paranoia?

Mr. Queen was obviously able to get word

outside the cordon we placed around the city.

To A.R.G.U.S., you mean?

- He seems more than capable. - Agreed,

but it was unexpected,

I don't like surprises,

and I like even less the feeling

that I can't trust my comrades.

It sounds like it's just me you don't trust.

If I didn't, you wouldn't be drawing breath right now, Mr. Sobel.

Oh. Oh, I love your face,

but that is just not a good face.

What's up?

Just spent the past two hours trying

to convince the city council

that we will get out from underneath Cayden James' thumb.

I'm not sure even I believe that at this point.

Hey.

You know what I'm looking forward to

once we put Cayden James away?

- What's that? - Our honeymoon.

Heh.

We are going on a honeymoon, right?

- Aruba. - Aruba. Ooh.

Mm-hmm. Any news here?

We split the city in half with the other team.

Divide and conquer is not getting us any closer

to finding Cayden James.

Our sector has been quiet for a few hours.

"Has been" being the operative phrase.

Ok. Facial recognition picked up vigilante.

Despite his mask having no face,

Cayden James' people don't ordinarily walk around like that.

We might have caught a break.

Let's text John the location.

I'm headed your way.

You going somewhere?

Where's Cayden James?

You're making a mistake.

You've got 3 seconds.

- Oliver, listen. - 1...

- I'm trying to stop Cayden. - 2...

- I can't blow my cover. - 3.

Hold your fire! Don't shoot, don't shoot!

- He's a friendly! - What?!

He's here for a meet with us.

He's undercover with James' group.

We were gonna tell you guys...Eventually.

I can't believe that you had time

to secretly put all this together

and continue starting our startup.

Well, being single does wonders for your time management.

Ok. On your next date, you are not allowed to lead with that.

How do you know you can trust him?

He saved my life last week.

Killed one of James' men to do it.

And he's in love with Dinah.

Just stating facts.

Vince is working on locating the thermobaric bomb.

We take that out of play,

and we got the situation handled.

What kind of progress are you making
