Previously on "arrow"...
4 years ago, the hood took
down Justin Claybourne.
You told me that claybourne
didn't have any kids.
There's no record
of the kid's name.
He'd be about 30 today.
Just old enough to put
on a hood and a mask.
Old enough
to want revenge
on the man who murdered
his father.
Evelyn, why?
You're a fraud.
This city needs to be
saved from you.
Hey.
Johnny, I need you
to come to
the safe house.
-Something's wrong with JJ.
-Lyla?
Did you find Billy?
I didn't know
it was Billy.
I couldn't have known.
Hi, Ollie.
I saw you die.
I was saved.
I saw this white light, and...It's--
it's just like they say.
This angel, she-- she reached out to me,
but she wasn't an angel.
She was my sister.
What?
Sara--she--she had me teleported
to the wave rider.
They have this technology
that fixed the embolism.
I was there.
Everyone was there.
Nobody saw a white light,
and you didn't go anywhere.
That's because she hadn't done it yet.
Ollie...
Ollie I asked her--
I asked her to bring me to your present.
She gave me the same gift that I gave her.
She gave me a second chance.
It's a miracle.
It's a miracle.
Laurel?
Hi, Felicity.
Oh, my god!
Ohh! Oh, my god!
It's a miracle.
Oliver said the exact same thing.
I thought Sara and the legends
were against changing history.
Sara said that they figured out a way
to bring me back without causing
an aberration.
Yes. That.
Are you ok?
Fine.
Yeah. I just wish the legends could
everybody we wanted.
What happened? What'd I miss?
We'll talk about it later.
The important thing is that you're back
which they brought you back from
and they just dropped you here.
So weird.
Time travel. Am I right?
Do you guys want a coffee?
I, um--gonna get a deca--decaf
because of...
It's nice to see some things haven't changed.
Oh. I have to call my dad.
He's gonna kill me for coming here first.
Laurel, after you...
Uh, y-your dad left with Donna
and, uh, it didn't go well.
-He's drinking again.
-He's in rehab,
but he's--he's--he's getting better.
He's getting the help that he needs.
Wow. 9 months.
I guess I have a lot of catching up to do.
Which is why I'm gonna tell everyone
-What party?
-The party that we're gonna
throw for Laurel tomorrow night.
That sounds great.
I mean, i--i would love to see everyone--
Oh, my--John! Ohh!
I came here to tell you,
and I totally forgot.
What's going on with John?
John: I can't believe she's back.
I walked into the bunker,
and sh--and she was just there
like nothing had happened,
like...
Like it was some kind of gift.
How much does she know about what's happened?
We're easing her in.
There's a lot to process.
-The recruits.
-Prometheus.
The fact that you killed his dad.
Felicity and Lyla are working on
What happened with the dude who
Well, she...
Doesn't stay in one spot for very long,
but, uh, I'm working on finding her.
In the meantime, we need to work
on a way of getting you out of here.
Yeah. Well, we did that, remember,
and here I am right back on the inside.
-Well, John-- -no, man. No more running.
It's time I faced this head-on,
fight these trumped up charges.
That's an improvement from last time.
Roger that. I'm gonna show Walker
that he picked the wrong soldier
We need to have some kind of plan.
I'm gonna need one hell of a lawyer.
I might know a guy.
My captains warned me that you'd be a risk,
an American Bratva.
But I thought that you could be useful.
I did what you asked me to do.
I tried to blow up kovar's casino.
No. All that you were interested in
was killing konstantine kovar
but not for the Bratva.
For yourself, for a woman.
Kovar told me everything.
Kovar...Is a government agent,
and the deal that you made with him
Your vendetta betrays the Bratva.
My deal with kovar benefits our
and in any case, i am pakhan.
My decisions are the law,
and I will get obedience from you,
even if I have to beat it into you.
Is this why you join Bratva, hmm,
to get to kovar,
because you had some promise to her, hmm?
You don't have to drop everything
and fly home, thea.
I'll still be here when the conference is over,
and the way Oliver describes it,
you're the one that's doing all
at the mayor's office.
I guess spontaneous resurrection is as good
as any reason for a party.
-But...
-But we haven't even buried
detective Malone yet.
It feels weird to be celebrating?
It doesn't feel weird to you?
Y-yes, weird, yeah.
Weird or--i guess.
After the past 4 years, it's just hard for me
to accept good news.
Rene: Hss. Weird, man.
She was dead. Now she's not.
Well, that's time travel for you.
Well, I don't mean Laurel being back
It's how you're all reacting to it
like it's happened before.
It's happened before?
The Lance sisters have a habit
of coming back to life.
Wait, what?
Yo, Curtis.
Come back inside. We're gonna make a toast.
Doesn't feel right to be...
Gathering around like this.
Detective Malone is dead,
Evelyn betrayed us,
and prometheus is still out there.
We should be trying to find him,
making him pay
for everything.
Oliver: A little over a year ago,
i--i stood right here,
and I remarked that i wished
it wasn't just the dark times
that brought us together.
With all the loss that we have suffered,
I think it's important that we embrace
the miracles, too,
and that we remember they are still possible.
Welcome home, Laurel.
Cheers.
Rory: Hey. What?!
-Sorry.
-God.
I wasn't expecting anyone here.
It's late.
I--i don't sleep much or at all.
Side effect of wearing haunted rags, I guess,
so I figured I'd train.
What's that?
It's nothing.
It's, uh--it's, uh, my q-mail,
you know, my facechat, snapbook stuff.
All the kids are doing these new, crazy
You know, I just--
-you're running a DNA analysis.
-Yeah, I am
on Laurel's glass.
That, what, you took from the party?
Oh. If by party, you mean my
to collect her DNA, then, yes, you
Yeah.
You know, there's looking a gift horse
and then there's--
being driven by paranoid delusions,
drawing comparisons on genetic base pairs?
Yes, I'm aware, thank you.
-I--yeah. Yeah. -Yeah.
Well?
DNA matches.
Ok. So we can rule out shape shifter.
-Yeah.
-Ooh. What about,
uh, evil twin?
-Oh...No.
-Ok. I was joking.
No. No. No, no, no, no.
-She actually has an evil twin.
-Seriously?
Yeah. She's locked up in s.T.A.R. Labs.
Right now, we have to call cisco.
Finally. It's about time someone figured it out.
You know, I am so sick and tired
of playing this weak, vulnerable Laurel.
She's such a pill, it's pathetic.
You know, the one problem with my ability
is that I can never hear my
poor, little victims scream.
Oliver: Laurel!
Are you hurt?
I'm gonna be ok, but...
It's not our Laurel.
So that Laurel's from an alternate reality?
Technically, she's from a parallel universe.
We're on earth-1.
The look-alike Laurel's from another earth, earth
-2.
Over there, we all have doppelganger
who could be very similar or incredibly different
based on an infinite amount of variables.
I would love to see what I'm like on earth-2.
Oh, god. What if I'm straight?
Rory: Ok. One thing i don't get--
well, you know, there's a list
but at the top is this fake Laurel
seemed to know, like, everything.
-How's that possible?
-Prometheus.
Cisco just sent this over.
It is from 3 days ago, but nobody knew
because no alarms were tripped.
It's like he's a dybbuk.
Yeah. I don't know what that is.
One question.
Just one?
Curtis: Prometheus breaks into s.T.A.R. Labs,
gets not Laurel, Henry higginses her
into coming off as real Laurel.
That's a lot of hoops. Why not just kill you?
Oliver: He told me he doesn't want to.
He's proving to me
that I will destroy myself
and everyone close to me.
Well, he's gonna be disappointed
but we are gonna put black siren back in her cage.
Black siren?
Every meta gets a nickname.
Let's hit the streets.
She is not leaving the city until
What are you gonna do?
John needs my help as mayor.
I will be on my cell.
Gregor: Let me see if I understand.
You carry this girl with you
through all of your trials and tribulations
-Lian Yu?
-Yes.
And yet when you get off this island,
you do not return home.
No. Instead, you come to a country
where you know just one person,
you join my organization,
pass all of our tests and all of this.
So you can avenge the death
The woman in that photo's name is Laurel,
and I didn't return home because after...
Everything I've been through,
everything I've done...
She wouldn't recognize me.
Now I see.
You think that you've been made
Better a monster than a sell-out.
How much did kovar pay you to betray
Your failure is unacceptable.
You should have let me kill them
instead of some stupid role-playing idea.
It is not your place to question my agenda.
Your freedom, your life is contingent
on following my orders.
Do you understand?
Hey. Thanks for coming in.
No problem.
I wanted to talk with you, as well.
Ok. Uh, the file that I sent you.
John Diggle is my former bodyguard
And facing a court-martial
for espionage, murder, escaping
and attempted theft of a wmd.
He's innocent.
So why did he escape a federal prison?
Because he's innocent.
The man who framed him is a 3-star general.
John did not think that he would get
a fair trial in the court system,
which is where you come in.
Oliver, I'm a city prosecutor,
not a military defense attorney.
That's why I thought of you.
John needs someone outside of the military
This is the only way for justice to get done.
He doesn't even know me.
John Diggle is a good man.
He's better than the both of us put together.
Getting the judge advocates to
to pro hoc in would be a miracle.
Sounds like a yes?
Eh, more like a "god help me"
Hey. I will owe you one.
This is worth more than one.
Um, actually, uh, hey.
Uh, as if we don't have enough on our plate,
have you heard about the circumstances
surrounding the death of detective Malone?
No.
He was wearing prometheus' outfit
His mouth was taped shut,
a sword taped into his hand.
There was a wireless speaker found
Uh...
What are you saying?
That it looks like Malone was set up,
that it looks like the green arrow was
manipulated into killing him.
By prometheus?
I made sure the cops who caught the scene
and I'm handling the coroner.
I just wanted to let you know.
Yeah, that you're gonna...
Cover this up.
If the city finds out that a member
of the anti-crime unit was prometheus,
there's gonna be panic.
If the green arrow killed a member
hoo--there's gonna be panic.
Either way...
Got to keep this quiet.
It's the only way to see justice done.
This is mayor Queen.
Oliver, it's me--Laurel.
Don't you say her name.
I--I'm sorry. What I did was unforgivable,
but--but he made me do it--prometheus.
What do you mean he made you?
He threatened to kill me.
You have to help me, please.
Can you meet?
Where?
The black canary statue.
I'll be there soon.
Now wait--
Any sign of black siren?
Not yet,
but everyone's gonna stand
down and do not--
yeah, we get it.
Yeah? Well, I say take her down.
Overwatch!
You heard the boss.
This is an eyes-only operation for you.
I have eyes on.
Boys, I just put you on a separate channel.
Uh, why?
So if black siren looks like she's
about to double-cross-- and trust me, she will--
you have it on my authority to light her up.
Thank you for meeting me.
You don't believe me.
Prometheus threatened to kill me.
You're a very convincing liar.
I deserve that.
According to s.T.A.R. Labs,
you'd help prometheus even if he wasn't
That's what they think.
What do you think?
I can help you track him.
Take her out.
I told you not to engage!
We know. It's just--
she, um, spooked us.
You guys are terrible liars.
I told them to move on her.
Since when are they taking orders
I don't know, but I kind of like it.
She had something in her hand.
She had her phone in her hand.
Well, it didn't look like her phone,
so I told them to move.
I had the situation under control.
She told me that prometheus
Now whether or not that is true,
she was going to give us valuable intel on him.
She's playing you, Oliver.
I understand that you're suspicious of her,
and I know this Laurel is from another earth,
that this is not our Laurel,
but we don't know why.
We don't.
I told you. Blinders.
Hey. You good?
Why wouldn't I be?
Just got my ass kicked for the bazillionth time.
So basically, I'm trading a cell
for a cell in starling city.
Actually, on this earth,
e call it star city.
I'm sorry about the cell.
I told you that prometheus was
and that is why I did what I did.
Your history on earth-2 would suggest you
You don't trust me?
Can you blame me?
No, because on my world,
you've been dead for 10 years now.
I moved to central city for a fresh start.
That's where this happened,
and from them, it was just one bad
and I guess once you let the darkness inside
and now I am trapped in a parallel dimension,
telling my sob story to the doppelganger
of the man that-- that I loved.
So stop running.
Face the darkness.
How does that work?
First, you need to tell me everything
that you know about prometheus,
everything,
and then we keep you safe.
And you're willing to do that why?
Why? Because I look like someone you
Someone once told me that a circumstance
poison or nectar.
What they meant was that we get to choose
we get to choose who we are,
so tell me...
Who are you?
Rene: Yo. Hold up.
I'll walk with you.
I'm hopping the "l" line.
-You taking the subway?
-No. I'm just gonna walk.
By yourself? You--you do have
a tendency to get your ass kicked.
Did you just come all the way out here
I'm just going home, but that was merely
I'll see you tomorrow, Rene.
Damn you soft.
I thought had some wit, man.
What, the black siren kicked that out
Not now, man. Not now.
What, did I hurt-- hurt your feelings?
Just let me be, man.
What's your damage, Hoss?
I mean, ever since the party, you been off.
You're supposed to be the happy one, remember?
Like what?! Like this?!
What the hell's gotten into you?
I been stabbed, shot at, put in a coma,
had magic powers used on me,
superpowers used against me,
What difference does it make?
All it's done is cost me my blood,
my sweat...
My Paul.
It cost me Paul.
That's your husband, right?
Was.
He left me.
Because of you being Mr. terrific?
Because of me trying,
but I'm never gonna make it
because I don't have what it takes...
So now I don't have anything.
Hey. Keep your wrist straight
just so you don't jam it.
I, uh--i spoke to Laurel.
When did she become Laurel?
She's not Laurel, not Laurel Laurel.
She's not our Laurel, ok?
Ok. Felicity, I'm-- i can't pretend
to understand parallel worlds,
but if I'm gonna believe in them--
and--and I kind of have to now--
then I need to believe that differences
are caused by circumstances,
so why can't we change this
Laurel's circumstances?
You think that you can save her?
After she's thrown in with prometheus?
Under duress.
I...
Heh. I think i can reach her.
When did you find the time to get
I'm a quick study.
My name's Adrian chase, star
city district attorney.
John Diggle, convict.
You here to add to my charges?
Not exactly. I'm representing you.
Your friend Oliver's persuasive,
plus he's my boss. Heh.
General Walker, the guy who wants you
you know who his boss is?
The president.
So you can imagine how difficult
this is about to be.
Mr. chase, mp officers are here
to remand the prisoner into
Wait. I thought I was supposed to stay
You're under their jurisdiction.
-The trial-- -the trial?
Man, there won't be a trial.
As soon as I'm out of here,
Walker will concoct some reason to put
a bullet in my head.
Ahh. Sergeant Diggle. Heh. Good to see you again.
Have sergeant Diggle cleared out of here
and ready for transport asap.
Got a long ride back to langham ahead of us.
So tell me...
What happened between you
Did he find someone else,
or were you not tall enough?
Do you have a sister?
Because I hear he loves sisters.
Oliver seems to think that because you
that you could become her.
And what do you think?
I think...
You should get used to living in cages.
There's a part of him that blames himself
It's who he is,
so when he looks at you...
He doesn't just see Laurel.
He sees a shot at redemption.
Wow. It must be really frustrating
that he doesn't listen to you.
Oh, I'm used to it.
How'd she escape?
The power went off and the dampener
Rene: And goldilocks huffed and puffed
and blew the door down.
That's not exactly how her power works.
Was there something wrong with cisco's specs?
Because didn't we just replicate the pipeline
We did.
I let her go.
What?
Damn, blondie!
I'm sorry, but, everyone, just relax.
It put tracking nanites in her water,
the same once we used to find Malcolm Merlyn.
That makes everything better!
Isn't that exactly how you used anarky
to find darhk last year?
Could we have the room, please?
Seriously? This is getting good.
Rene, Rory, come on, guys.
You...
You could have been hurt.
Whatever happened to
"if we change her circumstances"?
You risked your life to get a line on prometheus
because of Billy.
Well, now that you're killing again,
I thought, "why not put it to use?"
No. We're gonna get justice for Billy.
But first, we need to take care of your ex,
who's not even your ex.
Felicity on recording: There's a part of him
that blames himself for Laurel's death.
It's who he is,
so when he looks at you,
he sees more than just Laurel.
He sees his shot at redemption.
It's like I said. You know me better
I failed Laurel before.
I can't...
I can't fail her again.
I don't have to remind you that this isn't her.
I know.
Our--our Laurel's gone.
She's the last chance that I have...Ok?
Billy is my responsibility...
And we will get justice for him.
I'll let you know when the trackers
Gregor: You've been here for just few months,
and already you think you know everything.
Did it not occur to you that I could
I--i don't believe that.
Of course you don't
because you don't understand
that circumstances are what makes
a thing poison or nectar.
You believe your fool's errand
because you think that you are
for this darkness that's inside you.
Like baby blaming himself for being
left out in the cold by his mother.
If it weren't for that island...
You would be that harmless
American douchebag that you pretended
to be in kovar's casino.
So I guess I'm...
Just supposed to listen to you instead?
I can give you family,
one that does not see a monster
All I am asking in return
is your obedience.
Or else.
Or else...
You don't leave this room alive.
So mom and dad are going 12 rounds
They're just having a discussion.
Look. I--i know that i took the teasing
too far earlier.
I can be an acquired taste,
but...I'm sorry to hear about Paul
and that I made you feel worse about it.
Thanks. That's really big of you.
So what are you doing down here?
Well, since the black siren's cry
works on a more powerful frequency than Laurel's,
these are useless.
So I was trying to see if there's a way to make
the dampener portable so next time
we go up against her--
you can take her powers away.
That's awesome.
Yeah. Well, ideas are one thing.
Executing them is another.
-You don't get it, do you?
-Get what?
That maybe instead of beating yourself up
about what you can't do,
take a moment and appreciate
because it's pretty badass.
General Walker. Sorry, general,
but I cannot let you take John Diggle
without the proper paperwork turned in.
Excuse me?
Forms i-55 and w
-67
and the completed transfer assignment
singed by the langham warden.
Never seen a d.A. Get involved
in military matters and on the defense side.
I'm expanding my practice.
Anything else?
It's not common for someone of your rank
to personally supervise a prisoner transfer.
I make exceptions for traitors and terrorists.
I'll need a district judge to ratify
That could take a few hours,
maybe even a few days.
Do you have the Attorney General
I do, and she owes me a favor.
I can have you disbarred in 15 seconds.
Now I expect the prisoner to be in my custody
in 24 hours.
Am I clear?
-Tracker's live.
-Where is she?
The nanites just metabolized.
I'm triangulating them with the keyhole
Remind me to upgrade our Internet tomorrow.
Got. 1400 block brand boulevard.
Pulling up keyhole now.
Curtis: I think I have something that will help,
a mobile version of the dampener
Think?
I might need some more time with it.
The circuitry's pretty complex,
I'm feeling a lot of pressure,
Felicity can come with and help you.
Hold up. Not getting a good enough reading off
There's no way to tell if black siren is actually
and the whole point of doing this is to catch
Bitch.
We need to wait till we get visual confirmation
We're not waiting for anything.
We're gonna bring her in right now.
Get on board with this.
Suit up.
This is private property.
Ma'am, what are you doing here?
I'm just waiting for a friend.
She's here. Create a perimeter. Go!
-Did you hear that?
-Hear what?
Kidding. I think people in Florida heard that.
She--she was crazy. She could scream.
Run away and call the police.
Don't move, Trinity.
Oh. I thought you'd be someone else.
Disappointing.
-This should do it.
-Are you sure?
No, but we're out of time.
Prometheus.
Diazepam. That should slow you down.
Diazepam--you could say i have a tolerance,
but you shouldn't be worrying about me
Ahh. Felicity.
I am so sorry,
but I think it's about time that
Felicity or me!
Laurel!
Don't do this.
There's no coming back for you.
If you kill Felicity, then you're killing
that part of yourself that existed
before you lost your family.
If you end this now,
then we can find that person again...
Together.
She was never there.
You really need to shut your damn mouth.
Hey, pumpkin.
Hey.
Kept my wrist straight.
You turn me over, I'll be dead
before you get back to your office.
I believe you.
You know, when I woke up,
I didn't think that I'd be pissing off
one of the most powerful men in the military.
Hit me.
What?
Hit me.
What the hell is going on here?
Your prisoner just decked me.
Unsatisfied with your legal counsel?
Who knows, but...
We are in starling county,
and in county code, section 47.15,
it specifically states that the district attorney,
me, can supersede transfers to other
jurisdictions if the suspect commits
a secondary crime within my jurisdiction.
Attacking a city official's
a very serious offense, Mr. Diggle.
I think I'm gonna have to
prosecute this one myself.
It could take a while.
Fine. I'll be back with a writ signed
Can't wait. I've always wanted her autograph.
You know how people hate to say,
I don't hate it. I friggin' love it.
You really weren't kidding about that
It's like shooting fish in a barrel with you.
It's cool. I can take it.
You were right, Rene.
I need to start embracing what I can do
for the team instead of what I can't.
That's what I'm talking about.
More tinkering and less fighting.
Well, i--i wouldn't exactly call it
-Oh, one more thing.
-Yeah. What's up?
You put your hands on me like that
and I'll kick your ass.
Oh. Good talk.
This is why i usually leave
the punching to you guys.
It was a memorable punch.
Ow. Typing is going to be a...Bit
of a challenge the next couple days.
Serves me right.
Because I let black siren go,
one of those guards could have gotten
We almost got prometheus.
Your plan worked. He was there.
No. If it worked, we'd be putting cuffs
We'll get there.
We'll get him.
I'm sorry she wasn't her.
I know.
I'm sorry about Billy.
He was a good man.
Like you.
So I'm guessing that Laurel is on her way
back to central city then.
Secure lockup at argus.
I'm keeping her close because...
If there's anything left of the real
I'm gonna find it.
You know what?
I could really get used to this newfound
I'm done asking.
Follow me or die.
Find out what's happening.
Hello, Mr. Queen.
My name is Talia.
I've been looking for you.
Just doesn't feel right,
them just taking it away like this.
We should build a new one.
I think we can do better.
Yeah. What are you thinking?
I haven't kept my promise to Laurel.
You're gonna train a new black canary?
I think that somewhere out there there is
a woman worthy of Laurel's legacy,
and...Now all we got to do is find her.
you boys want another round?
No. I was thinking of ordering
uh, not on the menu, huh?
Hey. Where you going, baby?
Seriously, could you two be
any more of a cliche?
Don't worry, sweetheart.
There's plenty of me to go around.
I thought people like you only existed
You know, two guys trying to overcompensate
for their lack of manhood by taking it out
on a defenseless woman.
What are you gonna do about it?
That.

You told me that claybourne
didn't have any kids.
There's no record
of the kid's name.
He'd be about 30 today.
Just old enough to put
on a hood and a mask.
Old enough
to want revenge
on the man who murdered
his father.
Evelyn, why?
You're a fraud.
This city needs to be
saved from you.
Hey.
Johnny, I need you
to come to
the safe house.
-Something's wrong with JJ.
-Lyla?
Did you find Billy?
I didn't know
it was Billy.
I couldn't have known.
Hi, Ollie.
I saw you die.
I was saved.
I saw this white light, and...It's--
it's just like they say.
This angel, she-- she reached out to me,
but she wasn't an angel.
She was my sister.
What?
Sara--she--she had me teleported
to the wave rider.
They have this technology
that fixed the embolism.
I was there.
Everyone was there.
Nobody saw a white light,
and you didn't go anywhere.
That's because she hadn't done it yet.
Ollie...
Ollie I asked her--
I asked her to bring me to your present.
She gave me the same gift that I gave her.
She gave me a second chance.
It's a miracle.
It's a miracle.
Laurel?
Hi, Felicity.
Oh, my god!
Ohh! Oh, my god!
It's a miracle.
Oliver said the exact same thing.
I thought Sara and the legends
were against changing history.
Sara said that they figured out a way
to bring me back without causing
an aberration.
Yes. That.
Are you ok?
Fine.
Yeah. I just wish the legends could
everybody we wanted.
What happened? What'd I miss?
We'll talk about it later.
The important thing is that you're back
which they brought you back from
and they just dropped you here.
So weird.
Time travel. Am I right?
Do you guys want a coffee?
I, um--gonna get a deca--decaf
because of...
It's nice to see some things haven't changed.
Oh. I have to call my dad.
He's gonna kill me for coming here first.
Laurel, after you...
Uh, y-your dad left with Donna
and, uh, it didn't go well.
-He's drinking again.
-He's in rehab,
but he's--he's--he's getting better.
He's getting the help that he needs.
Wow. 9 months.
I guess I have a lot of catching up to do.
Which is why I'm gonna tell everyone
-What party?
-The party that we're gonna
throw for Laurel tomorrow night.
That sounds great.
I mean, i--i would love to see everyone--
Oh, my--John! Ohh!
I came here to tell you,
and I totally forgot.
What's going on with John?
John: I can't believe she's back.
I walked into the bunker,
and sh--and she was just there
like nothing had happened,
like...
Like it was some kind of gift.
How much does she know about what's happened?
We're easing her in.
There's a lot to process.
-The recruits.
-Prometheus.
The fact that you killed his dad.
Felicity and Lyla are working on
What happened with the dude who
Well, she...
Doesn't stay in one spot for very long,
but, uh, I'm working on finding her.
In the meantime, we need to work
on a way of getting you out of here.
Yeah. Well, we did that, remember,
and here I am right back on the inside.
-Well, John-- -no, man. No more running.
It's time I faced this head-on,
fight these trumped up charges.
That's an improvement from last time.
Roger that. I'm gonna show Walker
that he picked the wrong soldier
We need to have some kind of plan.
I'm gonna need one hell of a lawyer.
I might know a guy.
My captains warned me that you'd be a risk,
an American Bratva.
But I thought that you could be useful.
I did what you asked me to do.
I tried to blow up kovar's casino.
No. All that you were interested in
was killing konstantine kovar
but not for the Bratva.
For yourself, for a woman.
Kovar told me everything.
Kovar...Is a government agent,
and the deal that you made with him
Your vendetta betrays the Bratva.
My deal with kovar benefits our
and in any case, i am pakhan.
My decisions are the law,
and I will get obedience from you,
even if I have to beat it into you.
Is this why you join Bratva, hmm,
to get to kovar,
because you had some promise to her, hmm?
You don't have to drop everything
and fly home, thea.
I'll still be here when the conference is over,
and the way Oliver describes it,
you're the one that's doing all
at the mayor's office.
I guess spontaneous resurrection is as good
as any reason for a party.
-But...
-But we haven't even buried
detective Malone yet.
It feels weird to be celebrating?
It doesn't feel weird to you?
Y-yes, weird, yeah.
Weird or--i guess.
After the past 4 years, it's just hard for me
to accept good news.
Rene: Hss. Weird, man.
She was dead. Now she's not.
Well, that's time travel for you.
Well, I don't mean Laurel being back
It's how you're all reacting to it
like it's happened before.
It's happened before?
The Lance sisters have a habit
of coming back to life.
Wait, what?
Yo, Curtis.
Come back inside. We're gonna make a toast.
Doesn't feel right to be...
Gathering around like this.
Detective Malone is dead,
Evelyn betrayed us,
and prometheus is still out there.
We should be trying to find him,
making him pay
for everything.
Oliver: A little over a year ago,
i--i stood right here,
and I remarked that i wished
it wasn't just the dark times
that brought us together.
With all the loss that we have suffered,
I think it's important that we embrace
the miracles, too,
and that we remember they are still possible.
Welcome home, Laurel.
Cheers.
Rory: Hey. What?!
-Sorry.
-God.
I wasn't expecting anyone here.
It's late.
I--i don't sleep much or at all.
Side effect of wearing haunted rags, I guess,
so I figured I'd train.
What's that?
It's nothing.
It's, uh--it's, uh, my q-mail,
you know, my facechat, snapbook stuff.
All the kids are doing these new, crazy
You know, I just--
-you're running a DNA analysis.
-Yeah, I am
on Laurel's glass.
That, what, you took from the party?
Oh. If by party, you mean my
to collect her DNA, then, yes, you
Yeah.
You know, there's looking a gift horse
and then there's--
being driven by paranoid delusions,
drawing comparisons on genetic base pairs?
Yes, I'm aware, thank you.
-I--yeah. Yeah. -Yeah.
Well?
DNA matches.
Ok. So we can rule out shape shifter.
-Yeah.
-Ooh. What about,
uh, evil twin?
-Oh...No.
-Ok. I was joking.
No. No. No, no, no, no.
-She actually has an evil twin.
-Seriously?
Yeah. She's locked up in s.T.A.R. Labs.
Right now, we have to call cisco.
Finally. It's about time someone figured it out.
You know, I am so sick and tired
of playing this weak, vulnerable Laurel.
She's such a pill, it's pathetic.
You know, the one problem with my ability
is that I can never hear my
poor, little victims scream.
Oliver: Laurel!
Are you hurt?
I'm gonna be ok, but...
It's not our Laurel.
So that Laurel's from an alternate reality?
Technically, she's from a parallel universe.
We're on earth-1.
The look-alike Laurel's from another earth, earth
-2.
Over there, we all have doppelganger
who could be very similar or incredibly different
based on an infinite amount of variables.
I would love to see what I'm like on earth-2.
Oh, god. What if I'm straight?
Rory: Ok. One thing i don't get--
well, you know, there's a list
but at the top is this fake Laurel
seemed to know, like, everything.
-How's that possible?
-Prometheus.
Cisco just sent this over.
It is from 3 days ago, but nobody knew
because no alarms were tripped.
It's like he's a dybbuk.
Yeah. I don't know what that is.
One question.
Just one?
Curtis: Prometheus breaks into s.T.A.R. Labs,
gets not Laurel, Henry higginses her
into coming off as real Laurel.
That's a lot of hoops. Why not just kill you?
Oliver: He told me he doesn't want to.
He's proving to me
that I will destroy myself
and everyone close to me.
Well, he's gonna be disappointed
but we are gonna put black siren back in her cage.
Black siren?
Every meta gets a nickname.
Let's hit the streets.
She is not leaving the city until
What are you gonna do?
John needs my help as mayor.
I will be on my cell.
Gregor: Let me see if I understand.
You carry this girl with you
through all of your trials and tribulations
-Lian Yu?
-Yes.
And yet when you get off this island,
you do not return home.
No. Instead, you come to a country
where you know just one person,
you join my organization,
pass all of our tests and all of this.
So you can avenge the death
The woman in that photo's name is Laurel,
and I didn't return home because after...
Everything I've been through,
everything I've done...
She wouldn't recognize me.
Now I see.
You think that you've been made
Better a monster than a sell-out.
How much did kovar pay you to betray
Your failure is unacceptable.
You should have let me kill them
instead of some stupid role-playing idea.
It is not your place to question my agenda.
Your freedom, your life is contingent
on following my orders.
Do you understand?
Hey. Thanks for coming in.
No problem.
I wanted to talk with you, as well.
Ok. Uh, the file that I sent you.
John Diggle is my former bodyguard
And facing a court-martial
for espionage, murder, escaping
and attempted theft of a wmd.
He's innocent.
So why did he escape a federal prison?
Because he's innocent.
The man who framed him is a 3-star general.
John did not think that he would get
a fair trial in the court system,
which is where you come in.
Oliver, I'm a city prosecutor,
not a military defense attorney.
That's why I thought of you.
John needs someone outside of the military
This is the only way for justice to get done.
He doesn't even know me.
John Diggle is a good man.
He's better than the both of us put together.
Getting the judge advocates to
to pro hoc in would be a miracle.
Sounds like a yes?
Eh, more like a "god help me"
Hey. I will owe you one.
This is worth more than one.
Um, actually, uh, hey.
Uh, as if we don't have enough on our plate,
have you heard about the circumstances
surrounding the death of detective Malone?
No.
He was wearing prometheus' outfit
His mouth was taped shut,
a sword taped into his hand.
There was a wireless speaker found
Uh...
What are you saying?
That it looks like Malone was set up,
that it looks like the green arrow was
manipulated into killing him.
By prometheus?
I made sure the cops who caught the scene
and I'm handling the coroner.
I just wanted to let you know.
Yeah, that you're gonna...
Cover this up.
If the city finds out that a member
of the anti-crime unit was prometheus,
there's gonna be panic.
If the green arrow killed a member
hoo--there's gonna be panic.
Either way...
Got to keep this quiet.
It's the only way to see justice done.
This is mayor Queen.
Oliver, it's me--Laurel.
Don't you say her name.
I--I'm sorry. What I did was unforgivable,
but--but he made me do it--prometheus.
What do you mean he made you?
He threatened to kill me.
You have to help me, please.
Can you meet?
Where?
The black canary statue.
I'll be there soon.
Now wait--
Any sign of black siren?
Not yet,
but everyone's gonna stand
down and do not--
yeah, we get it.
Yeah? Well, I say take her down.
Overwatch!
You heard the boss.
This is an eyes-only operation for you.
I have eyes on.
Boys, I just put you on a separate channel.
Uh, why?
So if black siren looks like she's
about to double-cross-- and trust me, she will--
you have it on my authority to light her up.
Thank you for meeting me.
You don't believe me.
Prometheus threatened to kill me.
You're a very convincing liar.
I deserve that.
According to s.T.A.R. Labs,
you'd help prometheus even if he wasn't
That's what they think.
What do you think?
I can help you track him.
Take her out.
I told you not to engage!
We know. It's just--
she, um, spooked us.
You guys are terrible liars.
I told them to move on her.
Since when are they taking orders
I don't know, but I kind of like it.
She had something in her hand.
She had her phone in her hand.
Well, it didn't look like her phone,
so I told them to move.
I had the situation under control.
She told me that prometheus
Now whether or not that is true,
she was going to give us valuable intel on him.
She's playing you, Oliver.
I understand that you're suspicious of her,
and I know this Laurel is from another earth,
that this is not our Laurel,
but we don't know why.
We don't.
I told you. Blinders.
Hey. You good?
Why wouldn't I be?
Just got my ass kicked for the bazillionth time.
So basically, I'm trading a cell
for a cell in starling city.
Actually, on this earth,
e call it star city.
I'm sorry about the cell.
I told you that prometheus was
and that is why I did what I did.
Your history on earth-2 would suggest you
You don't trust me?
Can you blame me?
No, because on my world,
you've been dead for 10 years now.
I moved to central city for a fresh start.
That's where this happened,
and from them, it was just one bad
and I guess once you let the darkness inside
and now I am trapped in a parallel dimension,
telling my sob story to the doppelganger
of the man that-- that I loved.
So stop running.
Face the darkness.
How does that work?
First, you need to tell me everything
that you know about prometheus,
everything,
and then we keep you safe.
And you're willing to do that why?
Why? Because I look like someone you
Someone once told me that a circumstance
poison or nectar.
What they meant was that we get to choose
we get to choose who we are,
so tell me...
Who are you?
Rene: Yo. Hold up.
I'll walk with you.
I'm hopping the "l" line.
-You taking the subway?
-No. I'm just gonna walk.
By yourself? You--you do have
a tendency to get your ass kicked.
Did you just come all the way out here
I'm just going home, but that was merely
I'll see you tomorrow, Rene.
Damn you soft.
I thought had some wit, man.
What, the black siren kicked that out
Not now, man. Not now.
What, did I hurt-- hurt your feelings?
Just let me be, man.
What's your damage, Hoss?
I mean, ever since the party, you been off.
You're supposed to be the happy one, remember?
Like what?! Like this?!
What the hell's gotten into you?
I been stabbed, shot at, put in a coma,
had magic powers used on me,
superpowers used against me,
What difference does it make?
All it's done is cost me my blood,
my sweat...
My Paul.
It cost me Paul.
That's your husband, right?
Was.
He left me.
Because of you being Mr. terrific?
Because of me trying,
but I'm never gonna make it
because I don't have what it takes...
So now I don't have anything.
Hey. Keep your wrist straight
just so you don't jam it.
I, uh--i spoke to Laurel.
When did she become Laurel?
She's not Laurel, not Laurel Laurel.
She's not our Laurel, ok?
Ok. Felicity, I'm-- i can't pretend
to understand parallel worlds,
but if I'm gonna believe in them--
and--and I kind of have to now--
then I need to believe that differences
are caused by circumstances,
so why can't we change this
Laurel's circumstances?
You think that you can save her?
After she's thrown in with prometheus?
Under duress.
I...
Heh. I think i can reach her.
When did you find the time to get
I'm a quick study.
My name's Adrian chase, star
city district attorney.
John Diggle, convict.
You here to add to my charges?
Not exactly. I'm representing you.
Your friend Oliver's persuasive,
plus he's my boss. Heh.
General Walker, the guy who wants you
you know who his boss is?
The president.
So you can imagine how difficult
this is about to be.
Mr. chase, mp officers are here
to remand the prisoner into
Wait. I thought I was supposed to stay
You're under their jurisdiction.
-The trial-- -the trial?
Man, there won't be a trial.
As soon as I'm out of here,
Walker will concoct some reason to put
a bullet in my head.
Ahh. Sergeant Diggle. Heh. Good to see you again.
Have sergeant Diggle cleared out of here
and ready for transport asap.
Got a long ride back to langham ahead of us.
So tell me...
What happened between you
Did he find someone else,
or were you not tall enough?
Do you have a sister?
Because I hear he loves sisters.
Oliver seems to think that because you
that you could become her.
And what do you think?
I think...
You should get used to living in cages.
There's a part of him that blames himself
It's who he is,
so when he looks at you...
He doesn't just see Laurel.
He sees a shot at redemption.
Wow. It must be really frustrating
that he doesn't listen to you.
Oh, I'm used to it.
How'd she escape?
The power went off and the dampener
Rene: And goldilocks huffed and puffed
and blew the door down.
That's not exactly how her power works.
Was there something wrong with cisco's specs?
Because didn't we just replicate the pipeline
We did.
I let her go.
What?
Damn, blondie!
I'm sorry, but, everyone, just relax.
It put tracking nanites in her water,
the same once we used to find Malcolm Merlyn.
That makes everything better!
Isn't that exactly how you used anarky
to find darhk last year?
Could we have the room, please?
Seriously? This is getting good.
Rene, Rory, come on, guys.
You...
You could have been hurt.
Whatever happened to
"if we change her circumstances"?
You risked your life to get a line on prometheus
because of Billy.
Well, now that you're killing again,
I thought, "why not put it to use?"
No. We're gonna get justice for Billy.
But first, we need to take care of your ex,
who's not even your ex.
Felicity on recording: There's a part of him
that blames himself for Laurel's death.
It's who he is,
so when he looks at you,
he sees more than just Laurel.
He sees his shot at redemption.
It's like I said. You know me better
I failed Laurel before.
I can't...
I can't fail her again.
I don't have to remind you that this isn't her.
I know.
Our--our Laurel's gone.
She's the last chance that I have...Ok?
Billy is my responsibility...
And we will get justice for him.
I'll let you know when the trackers
Gregor: You've been here for just few months,
and already you think you know everything.
Did it not occur to you that I could
I--i don't believe that.
Of course you don't
because you don't understand
that circumstances are what makes
a thing poison or nectar.
You believe your fool's errand
because you think that you are
for this darkness that's inside you.
Like baby blaming himself for being
left out in the cold by his mother.
If it weren't for that island...
You would be that harmless
American douchebag that you pretended
to be in kovar's casino.
So I guess I'm...
Just supposed to listen to you instead?
I can give you family,
one that does not see a monster
All I am asking in return
is your obedience.
Or else.
Or else...
You don't leave this room alive.
So mom and dad are going 12 rounds
They're just having a discussion.
Look. I--i know that i took the teasing
too far earlier.
I can be an acquired taste,
but...I'm sorry to hear about Paul
and that I made you feel worse about it.
Thanks. That's really big of you.
So what are you doing down here?
Well, since the black siren's cry
works on a more powerful frequency than Laurel's,
these are useless.
So I was trying to see if there's a way to make
the dampener portable so next time
we go up against her--
you can take her powers away.
That's awesome.
Yeah. Well, ideas are one thing.
Executing them is another.
-You don't get it, do you?
-Get what?
That maybe instead of beating yourself up
about what you can't do,
take a moment and appreciate
because it's pretty badass.
General Walker. Sorry, general,
but I cannot let you take John Diggle
without the proper paperwork turned in.
Excuse me?
Forms i-55 and w
-67
and the completed transfer assignment
singed by the langham warden.
Never seen a d.A. Get involved
in military matters and on the defense side.
I'm expanding my practice.
Anything else?
It's not common for someone of your rank
to personally supervise a prisoner transfer.
I make exceptions for traitors and terrorists.
I'll need a district judge to ratify
That could take a few hours,
maybe even a few days.
Do you have the Attorney General
I do, and she owes me a favor.
I can have you disbarred in 15 seconds.
Now I expect the prisoner to be in my custody
in 24 hours.
Am I clear?
-Tracker's live.
-Where is she?
The nanites just metabolized.
I'm triangulating them with the keyhole
Remind me to upgrade our Internet tomorrow.
Got. 1400 block brand boulevard.
Pulling up keyhole now.
Curtis: I think I have something that will help,
a mobile version of the dampener
Think?
I might need some more time with it.
The circuitry's pretty complex,
I'm feeling a lot of pressure,
Felicity can come with and help you.
Hold up. Not getting a good enough reading off
There's no way to tell if black siren is actually
and the whole point of doing this is to catch
Bitch.
We need to wait till we get visual confirmation
We're not waiting for anything.
We're gonna bring her in right now.
Get on board with this.
Suit up.
This is private property.
Ma'am, what are you doing here?
I'm just waiting for a friend.
She's here. Create a perimeter. Go!
-Did you hear that?
-Hear what?
Kidding. I think people in Florida heard that.
She--she was crazy. She could scream.
Run away and call the police.
Don't move, Trinity.
Oh. I thought you'd be someone else.
Disappointing.
-This should do it.
-Are you sure?
No, but we're out of time.
Prometheus.
Diazepam. That should slow you down.
Diazepam--you could say i have a tolerance,
but you shouldn't be worrying about me
Ahh. Felicity.
I am so sorry,
but I think it's about time that
Felicity or me!
Laurel!
Don't do this.
There's no coming back for you.
If you kill Felicity, then you're killing
that part of yourself that existed
before you lost your family.
If you end this now,
then we can find that person again...
Together.
She was never there.
You really need to shut your damn mouth.
Hey, pumpkin.
Hey.
Kept my wrist straight.
You turn me over, I'll be dead
before you get back to your office.
I believe you.
You know, when I woke up,
I didn't think that I'd be pissing off
one of the most powerful men in the military.
Hit me.
What?
Hit me.
What the hell is going on here?
Your prisoner just decked me.
Unsatisfied with your legal counsel?
Who knows, but...
We are in starling county,
and in county code, section 47.15,
it specifically states that the district attorney,
me, can supersede transfers to other
jurisdictions if the suspect commits
a secondary crime within my jurisdiction.
Attacking a city official's
a very serious offense, Mr. Diggle.
I think I'm gonna have to
prosecute this one myself.
It could take a while.
Fine. I'll be back with a writ signed
Can't wait. I've always wanted her autograph.
You know how people hate to say,
I don't hate it. I friggin' love it.
You really weren't kidding about that
It's like shooting fish in a barrel with you.
It's cool. I can take it.
You were right, Rene.
I need to start embracing what I can do
for the team instead of what I can't.
That's what I'm talking about.
More tinkering and less fighting.
Well, i--i wouldn't exactly call it
-Oh, one more thing.
-Yeah. What's up?
You put your hands on me like that
and I'll kick your ass.
Oh. Good talk.
This is why i usually leave
the punching to you guys.
It was a memorable punch.
Ow. Typing is going to be a...Bit
of a challenge the next couple days.
Serves me right.
Because I let black siren go,
one of those guards could have gotten
We almost got prometheus.
Your plan worked. He was there.
No. If it worked, we'd be putting cuffs
We'll get there.
We'll get him.
I'm sorry she wasn't her.
I know.
I'm sorry about Billy.
He was a good man.
Like you.
So I'm guessing that Laurel is on her way
back to central city then.
Secure lockup at argus.
I'm keeping her close because...
If there's anything left of the real
I'm gonna find it.
You know what?
I could really get used to this newfound
I'm done asking.
Follow me or die.
Find out what's happening.
Hello, Mr. Queen.
My name is Talia.
I've been looking for you.
Just doesn't feel right,
them just taking it away like this.
We should build a new one.
I think we can do better.
Yeah. What are you thinking?
I haven't kept my promise to Laurel.
You're gonna train a new black canary?
I think that somewhere out there there is
a woman worthy of Laurel's legacy,
and...Now all we got to do is find her.
you boys want another round?
No. I was thinking of ordering
uh, not on the menu, huh?
Hey. Where you going, baby?
Seriously, could you two be
any more of a cliche?
Don't worry, sweetheart.
There's plenty of me to go around.
I thought people like you only existed
You know, two guys trying to overcompensate
for their lack of manhood by taking it out
on a defenseless woman.
What are you gonna do about it?
That.
