Arrow s06e14 Episode Script
Collision Course
1 Oliver: Previously on "Arrow" Oliver: These are innocent people.
And you can save them By wiring $10 million into that account every night.
$70 million.
[Siren scream.]
D--don't.
I'm going to make sure Vince didn't die for nothing.
I'm going to kill every last one of them Starting with Laurel.
[Siren scream.]
[Fires pistol.]
Laurel! There is a piece of my daughter in you somewhere.
And I'm gonna get it out whatever it takes.
Cayden: Thank you for all you've done to get justice for my boy.
The new police captain-- she's on my payroll.
[Dagger cuts.]
Tell your boy I said hello.
"Severed subclavian artery.
No defensive wounds.
" How does this happen? Sometime between transfer and intake at Iron Heights, an inmate caught James unaware.
By the time the guards intervened, it was too late.
Motive.
The inmate was a head case off his meds.
For all we know, he thought he was killing his mother.
Well, the random murder of Cayden James, it-- it doesn't feel very random.
It was bad timing and even worse luck, Mr.
Mayor.
That's all.
All right.
But Cayden James was my responsibility.
If a head has to roll for this, make it mine.
That is not how I run things here.
Just Keep doing what you're doing.
[People shouting at once.]
Quentin: One at a time! One at a time! [Arguing stops.]
Oliver: Thank you.
I understand that you're angry.
I amI am angry, too, but we are not gonna solve any problems by yelling at one another.
Last I heard, Cayden James is dead, but you still don't have the money he stole.
You mean the money he was given.
We are still in the process of recovering the money that was extorted from the city.
We just need a little more time.
[Representatives speaking at once.]
We're on the verge of financial collapse.
Without an influx of cash soon, we all have to shut down-- schools, sanitation, emergency services, everything.
Fine.
We will have those funds back in 48 hours.
You have my word.
All of you have my word.
Thank you.
Thea: Ok, um, not that I don't love your confidence and everything, but, um, should we really be making promises like that? Oliver: The accountant is on his way back from Corto Maltese with the money that was deposited into Cayden James' bank account as we speak.
You could've just told them that, got those folks off your back.
I'm not telling them anything concrete until that money is back in the city's bank accounts.
My bigger concern right now is finding Cayden's associates before Dinah does, because she is on the warpath.
[Heavy sigh.]
Yeah.
Any luck with that? John is working a few leads.
We should know more in a few hours.
Don't worry.
They're not gonna let anything happen to Laurel.
[Skeptically.]
Oh, right.
Woman on intercom: The accountant's here.
Send him in.
All right.
I'll take that as my cue.
I got to head over to planning.
[Clears throat.]
Ok.
Ahem.
Welcome.
What are you doing here? Well, he's carrying evidence.
I'm just, uh, making sure it doesn't get up and walk away.
Good luck with that.
Oliver: I wasn't planning on seeing you today, Lieutenant.
Well, I wasn't planning on it either, but we've got a problem.
Accountant: Cayden James' Corto Maltese bank account has been withdrawn.
Thea: What do you mean, it's been withdrawn? It's empty.
All 70 million.
Somebody took all the funds out before we got access.
Do we have any idea who? No.
But I do have 3 guesses.
I put in a request for the withdrawal log, but it's a long shot.
Oliver: If we don't have those funds in 48 hours, this city's government services will shut down.
And I understand, but banks in third world countries, like Corto Maltese, aren't exactly known for their transparency.
I'm very sorry, Mr.
Mayor.
Something smells good.
Well, that smell is physics, mathematics, and chemistry hard at work.
Felicity's teaching me about thermodynamics? That's right.
And we just really wanted cookies.
Narc! Don't you normally have tutoring after school, bud? We all got sent home.
Ms.
Cho said it had to do with the budget.
Is it true they might have to close the schools? I'm working very hard to make sure that doesn't happen.
There's actually something that I needed to speak with Felicity about.
I'll keep working on the cookies.
Thank you.
Yeah.
You definitely have that "day from hell" look.
What's going on? Ahem.
The money that Cayden extorted from the city, someone emptied the account.
Yeah, that somebody's either Anatoly, Diaz, or Laurel.
Or another player that we haven't seen yet.
We requested the withdrawal logs from the bank, but-- it's Corto Maltese.
It's taking too long.
You want me to help expedite it.
I need it to look like it's coming through official channels.
Yeah, I know.
It's not my first rodeo with Corto Maltese.
[Snaps fingers.]
Give me about an hour.
Hey, you don't think it's a coincidence? Someone killing Cayden right as the money goes missing.
It could be the same person that framed you for Cayden's son's murder.
Could be.
The only thing that I know for sure right now is that if I don't get that money in 48 hours, this city is going to have my head.
Any luck finding Anatoly? Just Bratva dudes who don't know anything.
What about you guys? Diaz's trail has gone colder than my love life.
Same with Laurel.
Well, if it's any consolation, the other guys are striking out, too.
I ran into dig chasing the same dead end.
I guess they're not sharing their Intel with us, not that we were sharing any with them.
Well, we can't trust them to keep us looped in.
And that's why I got put on the Cayden James bank situation.
Any clue we get can lead us to the scum who worked with him.
Scum, singular, or scum, plural? And, yes, that is me bringing up exactly what's going on between you and Laurel.
Well, we're not braiding each other's hair, Curtis.
I mean, but you are out for revenge, and I don't-- I don't feel too good about that.
[Cell phone chimes and vibrates.]
Got to go.
Looks like we got a lead on the missing money.
[Sighs.]
You ok with this? D.
Hunting Laurel? Let's just worry about the money first.
Then we'll deal with Dinah.
Reimsdyk: You're not gonna believe it.
The bank just sent over the withdrawal log we requested, plus security footage.
That is unbelievable.
What are we seeing? The account was accessed by this woman.
She's listed in the withdrawal log as Siu Jerk Jai.
Took out the entire amount in bearer bonds.
Some excellent work, Jay.
Ok.
We'll take it from here.
Thank you.
Thanks.
I'm guessing Felicity had something to do with this.
Yes, she did.
Thank you for inserting yourself into this, by the way.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Well, you never would've shared the information otherwise.
No, I wouldn't have because I don't trust you to do the right thing.
And what is that? Politely ask Laurel to give back the money? Not kill her.
Dinah, I understand that you're hurting.
I get it.
I also understand that I don't have the most credibility when it comes to telling people not to commit murder.
But the city is on the verge of economic collapse, and we just found the key to fixing that.
Laurel is never giving you that money.
You don't know that.
Yeah, I actually do, because I know that when you look at her, you see the Laurel that you lost.
And that's why you'll never be able to do what's necessary to get that money back.
And you will? Understand something-- I will never let you cross that line.
If you're gonna threaten me, Oliver, you better be damn sure you can deliver.
[Groaning.]
Easy, easy, easy, easy.
You'll pop your stitches.
[Sighs.]
How are you feeling? Like I've been shot in the gut.
Where am I? You're someplace nobody can find you.
Arrow 6x14 Collision Course Oh, I guess we know now what happened to $70 million.
Right.
If we find her, then we find it.
[Clears throat.]
Quentin, I know that we have been over this, but just for accuracy, you were the last person that saw her.
Yeah, well, I d-- you know, I didn't see her, exactly.
- Right.
- I mean, l-l-like I told you, Dinah got off a shot before-- just as Laurel knocked us both out with-- with her cry.
And, uh, yeah, when I-- when I came to, Laurel was gone.
So are we even sure that Dinah hit her? No.
She didn't leave a definitive blood trail at the scene.
We can go back over it with chemical analysis, see if we missed anything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We can do that.
Um, listen, oh, actually, there-- there is something I should--I should tell you.
Um, while Cayden James was holding the city hostage, Laurel started following me, all right? It was right after James kidnapped me.
And, so, um, well, you know, I caught up with her.
I, uh, tried to make a connection.
Thea: Well, I mean, after what we just saw her do to Dinah's boyfriend, are we even sure that that worked? Oliver: Actually, it might've.
When we went through her go-bag at the scene, there was a photo in there of you and, um, our Laurel.
I gave her that picture.
Heh.
Anyways, uh, my-- my point being, if she hasn't skipped town yet, maybe she'll come try to find me, make a connection.
You know, say good-bye or something.
I mean, it's a long shot, but-- I agree, but I also don't think that we can afford to be picky.
So I'll--I'll get home.
I'll make it easy for her to, you know, get me alone.
If she shows up, just make sure that you stall long enough for John and I to get there.
Yeah.
Sure.
Fine.
But do you need me to, you know, go with you for backup? Uh, no, no.
You know, like you said, it's a long shot, right? Heh! So your time's probably better spent here at the office.
But--but thank you.
Ok.
Well, call if you need anything.
We've already been over this spot a thousand times.
Yeah, which is exactly why I brought my new toy.
Presenting Mr.
Terrific's supersonic spectrograph.
It uses Earth-2 Sonic frequencies emitted from Black Siren and combines them with light imaging to create a holographic replication of her position during that night's events.
- Is that - Laurel.
Is she crawling? No.
She was dragged.
Rene: Looks like she wasn't putting up much of a fight.
Your bullet must've tagged her, D.
Good.
Now we just have to find her before the others do something stupid.
Stupid how? Oliver is not seeing clearly on this.
He's desperate to get that money.
He will believe anything Laurel says.
Rene: Shouldn't we also be desperate for that money? The city's hurting.
I know, but there are more effective ways to find out where she's keeping that money.
Curtis: Sounds like you're talking about torture.
And it sounds like you want to go soft on her.
Curtis, the only way to get justice for Vince and money for the city is going to be messy.
Rene: Hey, guys, look at this.
Tire tracks.
If they're from whoever dragged her off, could be something.
Let's make sure they didn't leave anything else behind.
I, uh, picked this up at a noodle shop my girls used to love.
[Chuckles softly.]
I've never been to any noodle shop.
Well, hot and sour's the best thing for healing no matter what earth you're from.
Ha ha! And I think I might have a picture here of the 3 of us.
Would you stop? I've already told you, there is nothing inside of me to change or going to change.
[Inhales and exhales.]
Um, you know, you, uh, you let me go instead of killing me like James wanted.
You hesitated killing Vincent Sobel.
Before doing exactly that.
Yeah.
You've done some pretty unspeakable things.
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why? Huh? Basically you grew up without a father.
My guess, you've spent your whole life looking for one.
Zoom, Adrian Chase, Cayden James.
All those men are gone now, including Cayden James-- he was killed last night.
Well, it looks like I have an opening for a new domineering father figure.
Feel free to send in your application.
You don't need anybody else telling you what to do with your life.
Interesting, coming from someone who has me locked up in a cabin in the middle of nowhere.
You're welcome to leave anytime.
But my--well, my guess is that it's been a long time since you had a chance to decide what you want your life to be.
So I figured I'd give you a little time and space to do just that.
Now, I got my hopes, for sure, but you're the one that has to want to change.
It's weird.
I actually really like hot and sour soup.
[Chuckles.]
Maybe we have more things in common than I thought.
You should tell me more about your Laurel.
Well, the luminol's certainly doing its work on this blood trail.
John: Yeah.
So much blood, we shouldn't need the luminol to see it.
Someone cleaned this place up.
Yeah, because Laurel lost too much blood to do it herself.
What, so someone helped her get away? Nope.
Someone took her.
I don't want to believe it, but I can.
We need to find her before they do something irreversible.
If they haven't already.
How has this print gotten us nowhere? We're not nowhere.
We've already ruled out all the known vehicles in the SCPD criminal database.
Which just leaves us with millions of other unknown vehicles.
Otherwise known as nowhere.
Rene is right.
This lead is exhausted.
[Exhales.]
What the hell? Oliver: Where is she? We know you have Black Siren.
If she dies, you've destroyed the city.
Wait.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
We do not have Black Siren.
We'll figure that out for ourselves.
Since when is our word not enough? Since you tried to kill her.
If she dies, that money is lost forever.
Rene: Lost forever, like Vincent Sobel.
Where was the Green Arrow when he needed saving? Your team walked into a trap.
If you came with us, Vincent might still be alive.
Don't you dare say his name.
Felicity: Thermal imaging is only showing our 6 heat signatures inside.
I mean, if Laurel's here, she's Not warm.
Are you hacking us? Don't hack us, Felicity? I'm not hacking you.
I wouldn't hack-- yeah, I'm--technically, I'm hacking you.
It wouldn't be your first time.
Oliver: No, it wouldn't.
She's tracked all of you before because we needed to know if one of you broke our trust.
One of you did.
You have already punished Rene for that mistake.
You know, it's just too bad he doesn't look like Laurel Lance, Oliver, because if he did, you would probably forgive him for murder.
Curtis: Guys, we're not actually about to fight about this, are we, like physically fight? Keep your team in line, Curtis, and we won't have to find out.
Curtis: Hold on.
You guys barged into another team's bunker.
Curtis, just listen for once.
Rene: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, guys, no.
I-- I do think Oliver wants to fight, because that's how you always solve your problems.
That doesn't make you a hero.
It makes you a thug.
And it's a real shame because he's gonna feel so betrayed when he figures it out.
You know who I'm talking about, don't you, Hoss? William.
Don't turn your back on me.
- Hey! - Don't move.
- So you're gonna shoot us, dig? - Do it.
[Fires pistol.]
[Both coughing.]
So this was your plan all along, huh? To get the chance to look through our bunker.
And you wonder why we can't trust you.
John: We don't have to wonder anymore.
Felicity: Laurel's not here.
Let's go.
Dinah: Just so you know, we are gonna find her.
And when we do, you'd better hope to God you're not there, too.
You think you know somebody.
Then they do a triple worm/ blue cobalt IP hack that you taught them right into your soul.
Ohh.
God.
I can't believe we even ever worked with them.
You say "with," but what you really mean is "for.
" They never treated us like we were equals.
Perimeter alarms reset.
Uh, also, I borrowed a piece of your tech, Curtis.
What did you do? You didn't really think I wanted Oliver to hit me.
Dinah: Would you care to share with the rest of the class? I planted one of Curtis' audio chips on Oliver.
So if they get the drop on Laurel, so will we.
Ain't Karma a bitch? Felicity: I hate to state the, oh, so depressingly obvious, but since Dinah and company don't have Laurel, we have nothing, Nada, zilch, bupkis.
Not true.
We have 3 former teammates who hate us more now than they did before.
Can't worry about them.
Guys, we're out of time here.
Should I reach out to Lyla? I appreciate that, John, but the last thing that we need right now is yet another group putting Black Siren in their crosshairs.
Felicity: Oh, square, meet one.
She didn't vanish off the face of the earth.
Are you sure? I mean, because, technically, she is from another earth.
We're gonna find her because we have to.
Quentin.
Thea, wh--wh--what are you doing here? You following me? Yeah, well, I I knew you were lying about something.
I--I did not think it was this.
Ok, she's sleeping.
Please.
Ok, well, why didn't you tell me? I thought we were in on this together.
I didn't want to put you in a position where you, you know, you had to lie to Oliver, ok? But, listen, this is the right thing, ok? I think I am getting through to her, but you got to go before she wakes up.
Please.
Ok, fine, but did you at least find where the money is? Well, I'm building up to that.
Look, I know how important she and-- and this whole thing is to you.
I get it.
But the city is dying without that money.
We need to find it.
Right.
Right, right.
And, you know, I'll ask her.
But she j--she just-- she can't feel like she's being forced into something.
Ok, well, you're running out of time.
I got to call Ollie and get him in on this.
Ok, I'm sorry, but your brother's not exactly known for his light touch, all right? And you and I, we both know that I am the only person with any chance of getting through to her.
Oh, that's so sweet of you to think, Daddy, but Thea's right.
You should probably call your BFF.
[Cell phone vibrates.]
Thea, I'll be back to city hall as soon as I can be.
Thea: Ollie, I am not in the office.
Where are you? With Quentin and Laurel.
What? Are you ok? Did she hurt you? Yeah, I'm fine.
Don't worry.
She's too torn up to scream.
Quentin has been taking care of her in a cabin.
It's really cool.
He's been hiding her out here.
Excuse me.
It's a little more complicated than that, ok? No, Quentin, it's really not.
Laurel: Ok, let's cut the crap.
I hear your city's on a clock.
Where's the money? Don't worry.
I'll tell you everything after you help me get the hell out of this country.
No deal.
Laurel: Well, the offer's not getting any better, Ollie.
And the only reason I'm even considering handing over my nest egg is because I need help getting away from that nasty little songbird friend of yours.
Fine.
Speedy, text me the address.
That was easier than expected.
Oliver's willing to burn Vince, but he'll let that murdering bitch go.
You were right, D.
Oliver just took Laurel at her word.
The city's not getting its money back that way.
It's up to us.
Can you track the bug? You know I can.
Then let's suit up.
6 miles out.
Head west.
Felicity, you might want to make sure your seat belt is on.
Yeah, it's good.
Why? We got a tail.
We're marked.
[Truck horn honking.]
- Ohh.
Think it's the others? - It has to be.
How did they find us? - Oh, my-- - what? This.
[Window lowering.]
Rene wanted me to hit him.
It doesn't matter now.
They're in our dust.
But can you keep them there? You forgot what you hired me for 6 years ago.
Felicity: Whew! That was exhilarating.
That was Alanis Morissette-level ironic, but it's ok.
[Crunch.]
Laurel: Hello, Ollie.
Where's the money? Haven't we gone through this already? No money until I am safely out of this country.
You are in no position to make demands.
I can think of 70 million different reasons why you're wrong about that.
Ok.
No, no.
Oliver, Oliver, please, please.
Listen, Dinah's just got her scared, all right? And for good--good reason.
Laurel needs our protection.
Which is why you should let me go with you.
I'll make sure you get out of the country safely, and then we can start your new life together.
Quentin, that's insane.
Well, well, well.
That was quite the performance, but now that I know that it was only about the money, hard pass.
Quentin: Actually, Thea had it right earlier.
I was more focused on getting through to you than the money, but I believe that if you'd had someone in your world to support you when things got bad, you wouldn't be a criminal.
This is our chance to find out if I'm right.
If, after a while, you decide that you don't want me there, I'll leave.
I promise.
This time around, everything's down to you.
[Sighs.]
Pack your sun block.
I've always wanted to live somewhere tropical.
Quentin The minute that she is out of the country, you get added to the list of people she's killed.
I'm betting otherwise.
Oliver: And you trust her enough to risk yourself, to risk the city? Tell me now.
I do.
Then so do I.
That's it.
I am not sitting here on the side of the road, like trash, while they let that murderer go free! Guys, we're gonna find them.
How? They tossed away our bug like it was a--a bug.
I think I know a way.
But it's gonna hurt John.
You say that like it's a deal breaker.
That guy's the whole reason I got shot, Hoss.
Curtis, this is not the time to be worrying about John's feelings.
No, I mean really hurt John physically.
Find them whatever it takes.
Thea: Ok, well, the union reps' deadline is coming up soon.
3 1/2 hours to be depressingly exact.
Don't worry.
We'll be gone, and the money will be back in city coffers by then.
It had better be.
Felicity: Your new cover identities are almost done.
You have a one-way ticket on a private plane to your father-daughter trip of a lifetime.
Just keep that vengeful bird of yours from finding me.
Aah! Ugh! John? It's his arm.
The implant, it's been disabled.
Someone's hacking it remotely to broadcast our location.
It's not "someone.
" It's Curtis.
They know where we are.
Can you fix John? Felicity: I'm rebooting the chip now.
It's gonna be a while before you have full functionality.
You're gonna be dealing with your post-injury symptoms for a bit.
I'm aware.
How long do we have? Based on the amount of time that's passed since we last lost them and now that they've attacked John, not long.
Quentin: I'm sorry, but with the other team that angry, that close, I can't protect Laurel by myself.
You don't have to.
What, are you gonna fight your old team? This is insane.
Let's get ready to move.
You're gonna turn right in a mile, dirt road.
You got us back on track, Mr.
T.
I pity those fools now.
Do they know that we know where they are? Trust me.
They know.
Here's the turn.
Listen, Laurel is a meta.
Now, I know the people protecting her were our friends.
But if you hold back, if any of us hold back our punches here, we are the ones who are gonna get hurt.
And Laurel and the city's money will both be gone.
Understood? Sonic dampener arrow.
I never thought Dinah would be the one we'd use that against.
Having second thoughts? Best-case scenario, man-- Laurel avoids punishment for what she's done and we put a hurting on the people who used to be our friends.
But we keep the city from dying.
But at what cost? If the people going after her didn't look like Curtis, Dinah, and Rene, would you even be asking this question? No.
No.
[Sighs.]
But I can't help but wonder, would we be doing this if the person they were after didn't look like Laurel? Now, listen, man, I would back any call you make, Oliver.
Always have, always will.
We should acknowledge the fact that going after our former teammates is maybe a line we can never uncross.
I agree.
But they crossed it first.
Oliver: Take the other car to the main road and don't turn back.
We'll stop the other team from following.
You'll have the city's money in two hours, I promise.
Thank you for fighting for me.
I'm not doing this for you.
But when it's over, I don't want to hear your name or see your face ever again.
Dinah: Why not let me handle that? You know, it's a shame you can't scream.
It almost makes this too easy.
Oh, sweetie, I don't have to scream to kill you.
Felicity: You are unbelievable.
I cannot believe you did that.
You could've seriously hurt John! Curtis: Just like you guys are gonna really hurt the city if you let her go! John: Nothing's happened that can't be undone.
We're not saying it's a perfect outcome or even a good one, but at least the city gets its money.
That's not justice, Hoss.
That's enough.
We've debated this already.
We know where you stand.
It's time to finish this.
Right now! Dinah, not one more step.
[Arrow clangs, Canary cry.]
Get to the car! [T-spheres whirring.]
Rene.
[Groaning.]
You're wasting arrows.
Am I? [Pistol firing.]
Rene! Rene, stop! Are you crazy? Yeah, I must be! Yeah.
Run! All right.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Hyah! Go help Curtis.
It's all right.
We're getting there, Laurel.
It's all right.
Laurel, Laurel, come on.
We got to go.
We got to go.
- We got to move.
- Quentin.
Quentin.
You stay behind me.
Dinah, you can't do this.
Get out of my way.
You can't do this.
Please don't.
Uh! Aah.
Dinah, don't-- [Laurel groaning.]
Last chance, Rene.
Stay down! No way.
- Hyah! Hyah! Hyah - Hyah! Hyah! Hyah - Hey, is everyone ok? - We'll live.
- Can you manage? - Yeah.
We can cut them off.
Let's go.
[Groaning.]
[Breathing heavily.]
- Hyah! - Unh! [Groaning.]
Is this what it felt like right before you killed Vince? I'm s--I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
We are way, way past sorry.
Curtis: Dinah? If we lose her, we lose the money.
But even if we had the money You can't do this.
Oh, God.
I have to, Curtis.
You know I have to.
I have to get justice for Vince.
Curtis: Dinah, look around.
Look at what we're doing to each other.
Does this look like justice? It's nobody's fault but theirs.
Then you sound just like Oliver.
We formed this team so we wouldn't be like that, like him.
Dinah, I don't want to start today.
[Laurel groaning.]
I will not be put back in that cage! [Siren scream.]
- Sorry.
- We can still catch her.
No.
You can't.
[Collar beeps.]
No more advantages.
I don't need them.
Curtis: He's still hurting.
Rene: Don't get soft now, Curtis.
We're just get-- getting started.
[Groans, coughs.]
Rene! Thea: Quentin! You ok? What the hell's happening? We need to get to a hospital.
Now! Any sign of Laurel? That trail has gone cold.
I don't think that she'll be able to get very far with her injuries.
What about yours? Nothing Felicity can't fix.
Well, I still can't believe Curtis did this.
I mean, messing with the chip in your arm is totally crossing the line.
It's our company's prototype.
Obviously, injuring you is way more a crossing of the line.
Way more.
It's not like we didn't hurt them back.
Thea: Has anyone heard about Rene? I mean, he--he didn't look so good.
Felicity: He was shot 5 months ago.
The wound reopened.
Quentin: Well, we should go to the hospital.
We got to make sure he's ok.
Well, unless anyone here has $70 million, there won't be a hospital soon.
Listen, Laurel is gonna call, all right? She's gonna call.
No, she's not.
I know how much we all wish she was more like the Laurel that we lost.
She's not.
We should get ready to talk to the press.
Quentin's right.
We should go and check on Rene.
Please tell him that I'm sorry.
I screwed up, Thea.
No, Quentin.
You You just believed in your daughter, ok? That's not screwing up.
And she is your daughter in the only way that really matters.
Yeah.
What way's that? In the eyes of her father.
Any update? Yeah.
My bloodstream is about to reach 90% coffee saturation.
Ohh.
Ok.
You know, I said that joke, hoping that you would laugh, but maybe now is not the best time to be saying jokes, so I'll just Yeah.
No updates on Rene.
They've been working on him for hours, huh? Yeah.
But, you know, Rene's the definition of stubbornness.
No way is he gonna let Oliver be the reason he goes down.
Yeah.
Dinah, this whole Laurel thing, it's not over.
The second Rene is in the clear, we're gonna track her down and we are going to arrest her.
We will get justice for Vince.
Thank you for saying that.
If it wasn't for you, I would've repaid Vincent's death with more violence.
That isn't justice.
I'm--I'm grateful to you, you know, just for pulling me back.
So The speech worked because I have faith in you, Dinah.
I also had my T-spheres programmed as a plan B.
Thea: City reps are all waiting, and they don't know about the money or lack thereof.
You don't need to be here, you know? If you're facing the firing squad, I'm standing by your side.
I don't know what to tell them.
It's not your fault, Ollie.
I'm the mayor, Speedy.
I made a vow to protect Star City, and I'm sorry, but I didn't.
I couldn't.
And I swear that I will make it up to them, but I-- just that, ok, Ollie? You just tell them that.
[Representatives shouting at once.]
Please, please.
[Shouting stops.]
[Clears throat.]
I need to--ahem--I need to inform everyone that the money extorted from us by the cyber terrorist Cayden James has not been recovered.
And to be honest with you, I don't know that it ever will be.
Now, I promised everyone that I would find the funds to keep the Metro area running without work stoppages, but I'm so very sorry.
As mayor, I I have failed this city.
Now, I know that your faith in me is likely shaken, but my faith--my faith in the citizens of Star City The mayor's luck just keeps getting worse.
D.
A.
Armand.
You got a sec? My case against Queen is built on sand.
It's only a matter of time before Jean Loring figures that out.
And why are you telling me that? I found something that could bury Queen, but I'll need the full backstop-- all the SCPD's resources.
I can see why Mr.
Diaz likes you.
The news isn't good.
Mr.
Ramirez suffered a traumatic hemothorax.
We were able to stop the bleeding in his chest, but the injury also caused his lung to re-collapse.
Now, given the severity of your friend's injuries, I'm recommending he be transferred to a facility that can provide the care he needs outside of Star City.
Mr.
Ramirez is resting now.
You and your friends will have to wait to see him.
What friends? We thought Rene would be here.
Dinah: Well, of course he's here.
You saw what Oliver did to him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How's Rene doing? You've lost the right to ask that question.
You two need to leave.
No.
No, not until you tell us if Rene's ok.
- This is not-- - Stop it.
Don't you guys get it? We're not just done fighting you.
We're done with the 3 of you period.
No more cooperation, no more communication forever.
Let's go.
Fine.
[Gun is cocked.]
[Loud bang.]
[Shuddering.]
I don't know what day it is.
I don't know what day it is.
Are you ok? I escaped.
I--I was kidnapped from here two years ago, I think.
I--I don't know.
IUgh.
Lady, what's your name? Laurel Laurel Lance.
And you can save them By wiring $10 million into that account every night.
$70 million.
[Siren scream.]
D--don't.
I'm going to make sure Vince didn't die for nothing.
I'm going to kill every last one of them Starting with Laurel.
[Siren scream.]
[Fires pistol.]
Laurel! There is a piece of my daughter in you somewhere.
And I'm gonna get it out whatever it takes.
Cayden: Thank you for all you've done to get justice for my boy.
The new police captain-- she's on my payroll.
[Dagger cuts.]
Tell your boy I said hello.
"Severed subclavian artery.
No defensive wounds.
" How does this happen? Sometime between transfer and intake at Iron Heights, an inmate caught James unaware.
By the time the guards intervened, it was too late.
Motive.
The inmate was a head case off his meds.
For all we know, he thought he was killing his mother.
Well, the random murder of Cayden James, it-- it doesn't feel very random.
It was bad timing and even worse luck, Mr.
Mayor.
That's all.
All right.
But Cayden James was my responsibility.
If a head has to roll for this, make it mine.
That is not how I run things here.
Just Keep doing what you're doing.
[People shouting at once.]
Quentin: One at a time! One at a time! [Arguing stops.]
Oliver: Thank you.
I understand that you're angry.
I amI am angry, too, but we are not gonna solve any problems by yelling at one another.
Last I heard, Cayden James is dead, but you still don't have the money he stole.
You mean the money he was given.
We are still in the process of recovering the money that was extorted from the city.
We just need a little more time.
[Representatives speaking at once.]
We're on the verge of financial collapse.
Without an influx of cash soon, we all have to shut down-- schools, sanitation, emergency services, everything.
Fine.
We will have those funds back in 48 hours.
You have my word.
All of you have my word.
Thank you.
Thea: Ok, um, not that I don't love your confidence and everything, but, um, should we really be making promises like that? Oliver: The accountant is on his way back from Corto Maltese with the money that was deposited into Cayden James' bank account as we speak.
You could've just told them that, got those folks off your back.
I'm not telling them anything concrete until that money is back in the city's bank accounts.
My bigger concern right now is finding Cayden's associates before Dinah does, because she is on the warpath.
[Heavy sigh.]
Yeah.
Any luck with that? John is working a few leads.
We should know more in a few hours.
Don't worry.
They're not gonna let anything happen to Laurel.
[Skeptically.]
Oh, right.
Woman on intercom: The accountant's here.
Send him in.
All right.
I'll take that as my cue.
I got to head over to planning.
[Clears throat.]
Ok.
Ahem.
Welcome.
What are you doing here? Well, he's carrying evidence.
I'm just, uh, making sure it doesn't get up and walk away.
Good luck with that.
Oliver: I wasn't planning on seeing you today, Lieutenant.
Well, I wasn't planning on it either, but we've got a problem.
Accountant: Cayden James' Corto Maltese bank account has been withdrawn.
Thea: What do you mean, it's been withdrawn? It's empty.
All 70 million.
Somebody took all the funds out before we got access.
Do we have any idea who? No.
But I do have 3 guesses.
I put in a request for the withdrawal log, but it's a long shot.
Oliver: If we don't have those funds in 48 hours, this city's government services will shut down.
And I understand, but banks in third world countries, like Corto Maltese, aren't exactly known for their transparency.
I'm very sorry, Mr.
Mayor.
Something smells good.
Well, that smell is physics, mathematics, and chemistry hard at work.
Felicity's teaching me about thermodynamics? That's right.
And we just really wanted cookies.
Narc! Don't you normally have tutoring after school, bud? We all got sent home.
Ms.
Cho said it had to do with the budget.
Is it true they might have to close the schools? I'm working very hard to make sure that doesn't happen.
There's actually something that I needed to speak with Felicity about.
I'll keep working on the cookies.
Thank you.
Yeah.
You definitely have that "day from hell" look.
What's going on? Ahem.
The money that Cayden extorted from the city, someone emptied the account.
Yeah, that somebody's either Anatoly, Diaz, or Laurel.
Or another player that we haven't seen yet.
We requested the withdrawal logs from the bank, but-- it's Corto Maltese.
It's taking too long.
You want me to help expedite it.
I need it to look like it's coming through official channels.
Yeah, I know.
It's not my first rodeo with Corto Maltese.
[Snaps fingers.]
Give me about an hour.
Hey, you don't think it's a coincidence? Someone killing Cayden right as the money goes missing.
It could be the same person that framed you for Cayden's son's murder.
Could be.
The only thing that I know for sure right now is that if I don't get that money in 48 hours, this city is going to have my head.
Any luck finding Anatoly? Just Bratva dudes who don't know anything.
What about you guys? Diaz's trail has gone colder than my love life.
Same with Laurel.
Well, if it's any consolation, the other guys are striking out, too.
I ran into dig chasing the same dead end.
I guess they're not sharing their Intel with us, not that we were sharing any with them.
Well, we can't trust them to keep us looped in.
And that's why I got put on the Cayden James bank situation.
Any clue we get can lead us to the scum who worked with him.
Scum, singular, or scum, plural? And, yes, that is me bringing up exactly what's going on between you and Laurel.
Well, we're not braiding each other's hair, Curtis.
I mean, but you are out for revenge, and I don't-- I don't feel too good about that.
[Cell phone chimes and vibrates.]
Got to go.
Looks like we got a lead on the missing money.
[Sighs.]
You ok with this? D.
Hunting Laurel? Let's just worry about the money first.
Then we'll deal with Dinah.
Reimsdyk: You're not gonna believe it.
The bank just sent over the withdrawal log we requested, plus security footage.
That is unbelievable.
What are we seeing? The account was accessed by this woman.
She's listed in the withdrawal log as Siu Jerk Jai.
Took out the entire amount in bearer bonds.
Some excellent work, Jay.
Ok.
We'll take it from here.
Thank you.
Thanks.
I'm guessing Felicity had something to do with this.
Yes, she did.
Thank you for inserting yourself into this, by the way.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Well, you never would've shared the information otherwise.
No, I wouldn't have because I don't trust you to do the right thing.
And what is that? Politely ask Laurel to give back the money? Not kill her.
Dinah, I understand that you're hurting.
I get it.
I also understand that I don't have the most credibility when it comes to telling people not to commit murder.
But the city is on the verge of economic collapse, and we just found the key to fixing that.
Laurel is never giving you that money.
You don't know that.
Yeah, I actually do, because I know that when you look at her, you see the Laurel that you lost.
And that's why you'll never be able to do what's necessary to get that money back.
And you will? Understand something-- I will never let you cross that line.
If you're gonna threaten me, Oliver, you better be damn sure you can deliver.
[Groaning.]
Easy, easy, easy, easy.
You'll pop your stitches.
[Sighs.]
How are you feeling? Like I've been shot in the gut.
Where am I? You're someplace nobody can find you.
Arrow 6x14 Collision Course Oh, I guess we know now what happened to $70 million.
Right.
If we find her, then we find it.
[Clears throat.]
Quentin, I know that we have been over this, but just for accuracy, you were the last person that saw her.
Yeah, well, I d-- you know, I didn't see her, exactly.
- Right.
- I mean, l-l-like I told you, Dinah got off a shot before-- just as Laurel knocked us both out with-- with her cry.
And, uh, yeah, when I-- when I came to, Laurel was gone.
So are we even sure that Dinah hit her? No.
She didn't leave a definitive blood trail at the scene.
We can go back over it with chemical analysis, see if we missed anything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We can do that.
Um, listen, oh, actually, there-- there is something I should--I should tell you.
Um, while Cayden James was holding the city hostage, Laurel started following me, all right? It was right after James kidnapped me.
And, so, um, well, you know, I caught up with her.
I, uh, tried to make a connection.
Thea: Well, I mean, after what we just saw her do to Dinah's boyfriend, are we even sure that that worked? Oliver: Actually, it might've.
When we went through her go-bag at the scene, there was a photo in there of you and, um, our Laurel.
I gave her that picture.
Heh.
Anyways, uh, my-- my point being, if she hasn't skipped town yet, maybe she'll come try to find me, make a connection.
You know, say good-bye or something.
I mean, it's a long shot, but-- I agree, but I also don't think that we can afford to be picky.
So I'll--I'll get home.
I'll make it easy for her to, you know, get me alone.
If she shows up, just make sure that you stall long enough for John and I to get there.
Yeah.
Sure.
Fine.
But do you need me to, you know, go with you for backup? Uh, no, no.
You know, like you said, it's a long shot, right? Heh! So your time's probably better spent here at the office.
But--but thank you.
Ok.
Well, call if you need anything.
We've already been over this spot a thousand times.
Yeah, which is exactly why I brought my new toy.
Presenting Mr.
Terrific's supersonic spectrograph.
It uses Earth-2 Sonic frequencies emitted from Black Siren and combines them with light imaging to create a holographic replication of her position during that night's events.
- Is that - Laurel.
Is she crawling? No.
She was dragged.
Rene: Looks like she wasn't putting up much of a fight.
Your bullet must've tagged her, D.
Good.
Now we just have to find her before the others do something stupid.
Stupid how? Oliver is not seeing clearly on this.
He's desperate to get that money.
He will believe anything Laurel says.
Rene: Shouldn't we also be desperate for that money? The city's hurting.
I know, but there are more effective ways to find out where she's keeping that money.
Curtis: Sounds like you're talking about torture.
And it sounds like you want to go soft on her.
Curtis, the only way to get justice for Vince and money for the city is going to be messy.
Rene: Hey, guys, look at this.
Tire tracks.
If they're from whoever dragged her off, could be something.
Let's make sure they didn't leave anything else behind.
I, uh, picked this up at a noodle shop my girls used to love.
[Chuckles softly.]
I've never been to any noodle shop.
Well, hot and sour's the best thing for healing no matter what earth you're from.
Ha ha! And I think I might have a picture here of the 3 of us.
Would you stop? I've already told you, there is nothing inside of me to change or going to change.
[Inhales and exhales.]
Um, you know, you, uh, you let me go instead of killing me like James wanted.
You hesitated killing Vincent Sobel.
Before doing exactly that.
Yeah.
You've done some pretty unspeakable things.
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why? Huh? Basically you grew up without a father.
My guess, you've spent your whole life looking for one.
Zoom, Adrian Chase, Cayden James.
All those men are gone now, including Cayden James-- he was killed last night.
Well, it looks like I have an opening for a new domineering father figure.
Feel free to send in your application.
You don't need anybody else telling you what to do with your life.
Interesting, coming from someone who has me locked up in a cabin in the middle of nowhere.
You're welcome to leave anytime.
But my--well, my guess is that it's been a long time since you had a chance to decide what you want your life to be.
So I figured I'd give you a little time and space to do just that.
Now, I got my hopes, for sure, but you're the one that has to want to change.
It's weird.
I actually really like hot and sour soup.
[Chuckles.]
Maybe we have more things in common than I thought.
You should tell me more about your Laurel.
Well, the luminol's certainly doing its work on this blood trail.
John: Yeah.
So much blood, we shouldn't need the luminol to see it.
Someone cleaned this place up.
Yeah, because Laurel lost too much blood to do it herself.
What, so someone helped her get away? Nope.
Someone took her.
I don't want to believe it, but I can.
We need to find her before they do something irreversible.
If they haven't already.
How has this print gotten us nowhere? We're not nowhere.
We've already ruled out all the known vehicles in the SCPD criminal database.
Which just leaves us with millions of other unknown vehicles.
Otherwise known as nowhere.
Rene is right.
This lead is exhausted.
[Exhales.]
What the hell? Oliver: Where is she? We know you have Black Siren.
If she dies, you've destroyed the city.
Wait.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
We do not have Black Siren.
We'll figure that out for ourselves.
Since when is our word not enough? Since you tried to kill her.
If she dies, that money is lost forever.
Rene: Lost forever, like Vincent Sobel.
Where was the Green Arrow when he needed saving? Your team walked into a trap.
If you came with us, Vincent might still be alive.
Don't you dare say his name.
Felicity: Thermal imaging is only showing our 6 heat signatures inside.
I mean, if Laurel's here, she's Not warm.
Are you hacking us? Don't hack us, Felicity? I'm not hacking you.
I wouldn't hack-- yeah, I'm--technically, I'm hacking you.
It wouldn't be your first time.
Oliver: No, it wouldn't.
She's tracked all of you before because we needed to know if one of you broke our trust.
One of you did.
You have already punished Rene for that mistake.
You know, it's just too bad he doesn't look like Laurel Lance, Oliver, because if he did, you would probably forgive him for murder.
Curtis: Guys, we're not actually about to fight about this, are we, like physically fight? Keep your team in line, Curtis, and we won't have to find out.
Curtis: Hold on.
You guys barged into another team's bunker.
Curtis, just listen for once.
Rene: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, guys, no.
I-- I do think Oliver wants to fight, because that's how you always solve your problems.
That doesn't make you a hero.
It makes you a thug.
And it's a real shame because he's gonna feel so betrayed when he figures it out.
You know who I'm talking about, don't you, Hoss? William.
Don't turn your back on me.
- Hey! - Don't move.
- So you're gonna shoot us, dig? - Do it.
[Fires pistol.]
[Both coughing.]
So this was your plan all along, huh? To get the chance to look through our bunker.
And you wonder why we can't trust you.
John: We don't have to wonder anymore.
Felicity: Laurel's not here.
Let's go.
Dinah: Just so you know, we are gonna find her.
And when we do, you'd better hope to God you're not there, too.
You think you know somebody.
Then they do a triple worm/ blue cobalt IP hack that you taught them right into your soul.
Ohh.
God.
I can't believe we even ever worked with them.
You say "with," but what you really mean is "for.
" They never treated us like we were equals.
Perimeter alarms reset.
Uh, also, I borrowed a piece of your tech, Curtis.
What did you do? You didn't really think I wanted Oliver to hit me.
Dinah: Would you care to share with the rest of the class? I planted one of Curtis' audio chips on Oliver.
So if they get the drop on Laurel, so will we.
Ain't Karma a bitch? Felicity: I hate to state the, oh, so depressingly obvious, but since Dinah and company don't have Laurel, we have nothing, Nada, zilch, bupkis.
Not true.
We have 3 former teammates who hate us more now than they did before.
Can't worry about them.
Guys, we're out of time here.
Should I reach out to Lyla? I appreciate that, John, but the last thing that we need right now is yet another group putting Black Siren in their crosshairs.
Felicity: Oh, square, meet one.
She didn't vanish off the face of the earth.
Are you sure? I mean, because, technically, she is from another earth.
We're gonna find her because we have to.
Quentin.
Thea, wh--wh--what are you doing here? You following me? Yeah, well, I I knew you were lying about something.
I--I did not think it was this.
Ok, she's sleeping.
Please.
Ok, well, why didn't you tell me? I thought we were in on this together.
I didn't want to put you in a position where you, you know, you had to lie to Oliver, ok? But, listen, this is the right thing, ok? I think I am getting through to her, but you got to go before she wakes up.
Please.
Ok, fine, but did you at least find where the money is? Well, I'm building up to that.
Look, I know how important she and-- and this whole thing is to you.
I get it.
But the city is dying without that money.
We need to find it.
Right.
Right, right.
And, you know, I'll ask her.
But she j--she just-- she can't feel like she's being forced into something.
Ok, well, you're running out of time.
I got to call Ollie and get him in on this.
Ok, I'm sorry, but your brother's not exactly known for his light touch, all right? And you and I, we both know that I am the only person with any chance of getting through to her.
Oh, that's so sweet of you to think, Daddy, but Thea's right.
You should probably call your BFF.
[Cell phone vibrates.]
Thea, I'll be back to city hall as soon as I can be.
Thea: Ollie, I am not in the office.
Where are you? With Quentin and Laurel.
What? Are you ok? Did she hurt you? Yeah, I'm fine.
Don't worry.
She's too torn up to scream.
Quentin has been taking care of her in a cabin.
It's really cool.
He's been hiding her out here.
Excuse me.
It's a little more complicated than that, ok? No, Quentin, it's really not.
Laurel: Ok, let's cut the crap.
I hear your city's on a clock.
Where's the money? Don't worry.
I'll tell you everything after you help me get the hell out of this country.
No deal.
Laurel: Well, the offer's not getting any better, Ollie.
And the only reason I'm even considering handing over my nest egg is because I need help getting away from that nasty little songbird friend of yours.
Fine.
Speedy, text me the address.
That was easier than expected.
Oliver's willing to burn Vince, but he'll let that murdering bitch go.
You were right, D.
Oliver just took Laurel at her word.
The city's not getting its money back that way.
It's up to us.
Can you track the bug? You know I can.
Then let's suit up.
6 miles out.
Head west.
Felicity, you might want to make sure your seat belt is on.
Yeah, it's good.
Why? We got a tail.
We're marked.
[Truck horn honking.]
- Ohh.
Think it's the others? - It has to be.
How did they find us? - Oh, my-- - what? This.
[Window lowering.]
Rene wanted me to hit him.
It doesn't matter now.
They're in our dust.
But can you keep them there? You forgot what you hired me for 6 years ago.
Felicity: Whew! That was exhilarating.
That was Alanis Morissette-level ironic, but it's ok.
[Crunch.]
Laurel: Hello, Ollie.
Where's the money? Haven't we gone through this already? No money until I am safely out of this country.
You are in no position to make demands.
I can think of 70 million different reasons why you're wrong about that.
Ok.
No, no.
Oliver, Oliver, please, please.
Listen, Dinah's just got her scared, all right? And for good--good reason.
Laurel needs our protection.
Which is why you should let me go with you.
I'll make sure you get out of the country safely, and then we can start your new life together.
Quentin, that's insane.
Well, well, well.
That was quite the performance, but now that I know that it was only about the money, hard pass.
Quentin: Actually, Thea had it right earlier.
I was more focused on getting through to you than the money, but I believe that if you'd had someone in your world to support you when things got bad, you wouldn't be a criminal.
This is our chance to find out if I'm right.
If, after a while, you decide that you don't want me there, I'll leave.
I promise.
This time around, everything's down to you.
[Sighs.]
Pack your sun block.
I've always wanted to live somewhere tropical.
Quentin The minute that she is out of the country, you get added to the list of people she's killed.
I'm betting otherwise.
Oliver: And you trust her enough to risk yourself, to risk the city? Tell me now.
I do.
Then so do I.
That's it.
I am not sitting here on the side of the road, like trash, while they let that murderer go free! Guys, we're gonna find them.
How? They tossed away our bug like it was a--a bug.
I think I know a way.
But it's gonna hurt John.
You say that like it's a deal breaker.
That guy's the whole reason I got shot, Hoss.
Curtis, this is not the time to be worrying about John's feelings.
No, I mean really hurt John physically.
Find them whatever it takes.
Thea: Ok, well, the union reps' deadline is coming up soon.
3 1/2 hours to be depressingly exact.
Don't worry.
We'll be gone, and the money will be back in city coffers by then.
It had better be.
Felicity: Your new cover identities are almost done.
You have a one-way ticket on a private plane to your father-daughter trip of a lifetime.
Just keep that vengeful bird of yours from finding me.
Aah! Ugh! John? It's his arm.
The implant, it's been disabled.
Someone's hacking it remotely to broadcast our location.
It's not "someone.
" It's Curtis.
They know where we are.
Can you fix John? Felicity: I'm rebooting the chip now.
It's gonna be a while before you have full functionality.
You're gonna be dealing with your post-injury symptoms for a bit.
I'm aware.
How long do we have? Based on the amount of time that's passed since we last lost them and now that they've attacked John, not long.
Quentin: I'm sorry, but with the other team that angry, that close, I can't protect Laurel by myself.
You don't have to.
What, are you gonna fight your old team? This is insane.
Let's get ready to move.
You're gonna turn right in a mile, dirt road.
You got us back on track, Mr.
T.
I pity those fools now.
Do they know that we know where they are? Trust me.
They know.
Here's the turn.
Listen, Laurel is a meta.
Now, I know the people protecting her were our friends.
But if you hold back, if any of us hold back our punches here, we are the ones who are gonna get hurt.
And Laurel and the city's money will both be gone.
Understood? Sonic dampener arrow.
I never thought Dinah would be the one we'd use that against.
Having second thoughts? Best-case scenario, man-- Laurel avoids punishment for what she's done and we put a hurting on the people who used to be our friends.
But we keep the city from dying.
But at what cost? If the people going after her didn't look like Curtis, Dinah, and Rene, would you even be asking this question? No.
No.
[Sighs.]
But I can't help but wonder, would we be doing this if the person they were after didn't look like Laurel? Now, listen, man, I would back any call you make, Oliver.
Always have, always will.
We should acknowledge the fact that going after our former teammates is maybe a line we can never uncross.
I agree.
But they crossed it first.
Oliver: Take the other car to the main road and don't turn back.
We'll stop the other team from following.
You'll have the city's money in two hours, I promise.
Thank you for fighting for me.
I'm not doing this for you.
But when it's over, I don't want to hear your name or see your face ever again.
Dinah: Why not let me handle that? You know, it's a shame you can't scream.
It almost makes this too easy.
Oh, sweetie, I don't have to scream to kill you.
Felicity: You are unbelievable.
I cannot believe you did that.
You could've seriously hurt John! Curtis: Just like you guys are gonna really hurt the city if you let her go! John: Nothing's happened that can't be undone.
We're not saying it's a perfect outcome or even a good one, but at least the city gets its money.
That's not justice, Hoss.
That's enough.
We've debated this already.
We know where you stand.
It's time to finish this.
Right now! Dinah, not one more step.
[Arrow clangs, Canary cry.]
Get to the car! [T-spheres whirring.]
Rene.
[Groaning.]
You're wasting arrows.
Am I? [Pistol firing.]
Rene! Rene, stop! Are you crazy? Yeah, I must be! Yeah.
Run! All right.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Hyah! Go help Curtis.
It's all right.
We're getting there, Laurel.
It's all right.
Laurel, Laurel, come on.
We got to go.
We got to go.
- We got to move.
- Quentin.
Quentin.
You stay behind me.
Dinah, you can't do this.
Get out of my way.
You can't do this.
Please don't.
Uh! Aah.
Dinah, don't-- [Laurel groaning.]
Last chance, Rene.
Stay down! No way.
- Hyah! Hyah! Hyah - Hyah! Hyah! Hyah - Hey, is everyone ok? - We'll live.
- Can you manage? - Yeah.
We can cut them off.
Let's go.
[Groaning.]
[Breathing heavily.]
- Hyah! - Unh! [Groaning.]
Is this what it felt like right before you killed Vince? I'm s--I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
We are way, way past sorry.
Curtis: Dinah? If we lose her, we lose the money.
But even if we had the money You can't do this.
Oh, God.
I have to, Curtis.
You know I have to.
I have to get justice for Vince.
Curtis: Dinah, look around.
Look at what we're doing to each other.
Does this look like justice? It's nobody's fault but theirs.
Then you sound just like Oliver.
We formed this team so we wouldn't be like that, like him.
Dinah, I don't want to start today.
[Laurel groaning.]
I will not be put back in that cage! [Siren scream.]
- Sorry.
- We can still catch her.
No.
You can't.
[Collar beeps.]
No more advantages.
I don't need them.
Curtis: He's still hurting.
Rene: Don't get soft now, Curtis.
We're just get-- getting started.
[Groans, coughs.]
Rene! Thea: Quentin! You ok? What the hell's happening? We need to get to a hospital.
Now! Any sign of Laurel? That trail has gone cold.
I don't think that she'll be able to get very far with her injuries.
What about yours? Nothing Felicity can't fix.
Well, I still can't believe Curtis did this.
I mean, messing with the chip in your arm is totally crossing the line.
It's our company's prototype.
Obviously, injuring you is way more a crossing of the line.
Way more.
It's not like we didn't hurt them back.
Thea: Has anyone heard about Rene? I mean, he--he didn't look so good.
Felicity: He was shot 5 months ago.
The wound reopened.
Quentin: Well, we should go to the hospital.
We got to make sure he's ok.
Well, unless anyone here has $70 million, there won't be a hospital soon.
Listen, Laurel is gonna call, all right? She's gonna call.
No, she's not.
I know how much we all wish she was more like the Laurel that we lost.
She's not.
We should get ready to talk to the press.
Quentin's right.
We should go and check on Rene.
Please tell him that I'm sorry.
I screwed up, Thea.
No, Quentin.
You You just believed in your daughter, ok? That's not screwing up.
And she is your daughter in the only way that really matters.
Yeah.
What way's that? In the eyes of her father.
Any update? Yeah.
My bloodstream is about to reach 90% coffee saturation.
Ohh.
Ok.
You know, I said that joke, hoping that you would laugh, but maybe now is not the best time to be saying jokes, so I'll just Yeah.
No updates on Rene.
They've been working on him for hours, huh? Yeah.
But, you know, Rene's the definition of stubbornness.
No way is he gonna let Oliver be the reason he goes down.
Yeah.
Dinah, this whole Laurel thing, it's not over.
The second Rene is in the clear, we're gonna track her down and we are going to arrest her.
We will get justice for Vince.
Thank you for saying that.
If it wasn't for you, I would've repaid Vincent's death with more violence.
That isn't justice.
I'm--I'm grateful to you, you know, just for pulling me back.
So The speech worked because I have faith in you, Dinah.
I also had my T-spheres programmed as a plan B.
Thea: City reps are all waiting, and they don't know about the money or lack thereof.
You don't need to be here, you know? If you're facing the firing squad, I'm standing by your side.
I don't know what to tell them.
It's not your fault, Ollie.
I'm the mayor, Speedy.
I made a vow to protect Star City, and I'm sorry, but I didn't.
I couldn't.
And I swear that I will make it up to them, but I-- just that, ok, Ollie? You just tell them that.
[Representatives shouting at once.]
Please, please.
[Shouting stops.]
[Clears throat.]
I need to--ahem--I need to inform everyone that the money extorted from us by the cyber terrorist Cayden James has not been recovered.
And to be honest with you, I don't know that it ever will be.
Now, I promised everyone that I would find the funds to keep the Metro area running without work stoppages, but I'm so very sorry.
As mayor, I I have failed this city.
Now, I know that your faith in me is likely shaken, but my faith--my faith in the citizens of Star City The mayor's luck just keeps getting worse.
D.
A.
Armand.
You got a sec? My case against Queen is built on sand.
It's only a matter of time before Jean Loring figures that out.
And why are you telling me that? I found something that could bury Queen, but I'll need the full backstop-- all the SCPD's resources.
I can see why Mr.
Diaz likes you.
The news isn't good.
Mr.
Ramirez suffered a traumatic hemothorax.
We were able to stop the bleeding in his chest, but the injury also caused his lung to re-collapse.
Now, given the severity of your friend's injuries, I'm recommending he be transferred to a facility that can provide the care he needs outside of Star City.
Mr.
Ramirez is resting now.
You and your friends will have to wait to see him.
What friends? We thought Rene would be here.
Dinah: Well, of course he's here.
You saw what Oliver did to him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How's Rene doing? You've lost the right to ask that question.
You two need to leave.
No.
No, not until you tell us if Rene's ok.
- This is not-- - Stop it.
Don't you guys get it? We're not just done fighting you.
We're done with the 3 of you period.
No more cooperation, no more communication forever.
Let's go.
Fine.
[Gun is cocked.]
[Loud bang.]
[Shuddering.]
I don't know what day it is.
I don't know what day it is.
Are you ok? I escaped.
I--I was kidnapped from here two years ago, I think.
I--I don't know.
IUgh.
Lady, what's your name? Laurel Laurel Lance.
