---
The two of you are
Working for ricardo diaz.
You're both fired
Effective immediately.
Obviously, the mayor.
Terminated us
To impede the prosecution.
Of his activities
As the green arrow.
What oliver queen did is
An impeachable offense.
The way you lead Alienates.
Everyone and everything
Around you. Look.
You put the team
At risk by lying!
You leave a trail Of bodies.
Every damn place That you go!
My trail of bodies.
Doesn't include My own brother.
Truth is, oliver,
You have become a better man.
But, with your focus split,
A worse leader.
If I'm gonna be
The best version of myself,
It can't be with you.
You told rebecca
What's going on?
You kidding? She'd have
My nuts in a vise.
If she knew I was On the take.
She doesn't get it. It's
a different City now.
It's a different world.
We better call Backup.
It might just be A power surge.
It's not. Call backup now!
Unh!
What the hell?
Come on out, You son of a bitch!
Where's diaz?
Somewhere inside Surrounded
by A hundred cops.
You'll never Get to him.
- He's here.
- That was predictable.
Lockdown mode now. Protect diaz.
Agh!
Where's diaz?
Agh!
Where's diaz?
In there.
This is gonna be fun.
Allies are
In short supply for mayor queen.
As the city reacts In the wake.
Of the sudden firing
Of captain kimberly hill.
And d.A. Samir armand.
Though city hall maintains
The firings had no relation.
To the ongoing investigation
Into the mayor's.
Reputed vigilantism
As the green arrow,
Sources
Within the city council say.
That impeachment
Is highly possible.
No. They can't actually
Impeach you for firing.
Two people On diaz's payroll.
They can if they Claim I
did it To protect myself.
Look. We need Rock-solid proof.
That they are Working for diaz.
That's why you have me,
But in the meantime,
I have something else.
I just got some More evidence.
On how diaz has
Corrupted the scpd.
So ever since dinah
And company got fired,
I have been monitoring
The station's.
Internal security feed,
And every night
At 10:13, this happens,
And then... boop...
45 minutes later,
The feed goes back
Online like clockwork.
He's monitoring
His minions in blue.
- He's got to be.
- I agree.
If you're thinking What I
think You're thinking,
You need to stop Thinking it right Now.
It's bad.
I can't make a move on diaz
Unless I know where he is,
And you just told me Where he is.
Every night at 10:13.
You can't storm The bad cop
castle By yourself, oliver.
- It is suicide.
- If I get diaz,
This is all done...
The investigation,
The corruption,
The impeachment, All of it.
I stop all of it.
You can't go there Alone.
You will not Come out.
You need help.
All of our help quit.
Well, maybe john
Has changed his mind.
What are you Talking about?
Hey, oliver.
John.
What do you need?
Well, felicity said
That she needed.
To update the code On my chip.
She also said that you
Would be at city hall.
Well, I said He might be.
I didn't say He would be,
And, yeah,
I "Parent trapped" you,
But it was a little naive
Of you to think.
That I wouldn't
Considering how well.
You know me, you know.
Now that we are All together,
We can talk About what happened.
I'm pretty sure john Has said
everything He needs to say.
I think you're
Absolutely right. I did.
Guys, this isn't
About what he said.
Or what he said Or your egos.
We have bigger problems
At hand here.
We need to stop diaz,
And we have
Some pretty good intel.
Good intel tends To fall
apart In the hands.
Of bad leadership,
Don't you think?
Oliver, come on. It doesn't
have To be that way.
How would you Like it to be?
Well, it doesn't change
The fact that neither of you.
Can take down Diaz alone.
I think there's more
Than one way to catch diaz.
I've been offered
A job at a.R.G.U.S.
Gonna take it?
Thinking about it. Why?
Last time you needed Something from
a.R.G.U.S., You had to steal it.
Oliver, you keep
That attitude, man,
You're gonna end up All alone.
I've listened To your advice.
For the last 6 years.
I think I've earned A reprieve.
That is not how I
thought that Would go.
Sure it was. This is
Who he is, felicity,
And no one knows that
More than you.
Elected officials Cannot fire.
The very law Enforcement
personnel Investigating them.
To do so is The definition
of Obstruction of justice.
Captain hill And d.A. Armand.
Were actively sabotaging
This city.
By aligning themselves
With ricardo diaz.
I was not obstructing Justice.
- I was serving it.
- From what I understand,
Ricardo diaz is A
second-rate Drug dealer.
Who was released From
prison on A technicality.
I fail to see Your point.
The idea that he
Could compromise.
A police captain
And a district attorney.
Is laughable.
I assume that the mayor.
Will get a chance to address
The city council,
Lay out the facts
As he sees them.
Preliminary impeachment
Proceedings.
Begin This afternoon.
The mayor Will have a chance.
To plead his case, Of course.
For your sake, Mr. Mayor,
And for the sake
Of your administration,
I hope you have Something
more Concrete to offer.
The council other Than
unsupported Suspicions.
And I know we
Haven't always gotten along,
But I do believe In due process.
I'll make sure The council.
Approaches this Fairly.
I will see you And the
council This afternoon.
With evidence.
You mind if I ask
What evidence exactly?
Felicity's working on it.
I guess that's
Somewhat reassuring.
On the bright side, If I get
impeached, You get promoted.
Heh heh heh! I'm not much.
Of a politician, Oliver.
Well, with diaz
Running the city,
It's not really Politics, is it?
Is that the only Thing
bothering You... diaz?
You've looked Better.
John quit.
I'd say he quit The team, but...
There's no team.
He seems to think
I'm to blame for that.
Well, I don't see It that way.
- You're not there, quentin.
- Yeah, I know,
But I was there When the hood
first Showed up, remember,
And that guy bears
Very little resemblance.
To the guy I'm Talking to now.
I mean, look at you. You're the
mayor, You're a family man.
You're out busting Your hump
every night For this city.
I've seen how much
You've changed, oliver.
So why is all this Happening?
Cayden james and diaz,
They've done a number,
But things Will get better.
You just got to Stay the course.
Where you going?
I'm going to check in
On felicity,
See if she's making
Any progress,
And I promised william
That I would take him.
To his science fair.
It's not The best timing.
I think schools
Plan it that way.
Well, I mean, You outdid me.
For my science fair project,
All I did was hack napster.
What's napster?
Wow. I am getting older
By the minute.
I can't believe you
Cloned a cabbage.
When I was a girl,
Cabbage grew in the ground.
Well, you're a long
Way from home, raisa.
That I know.
I'll put these in the car.
- Thank you.
- I just really hope it's better.
Than sarah epstein's
Solar hot dog cooker.
She's really been Talking it up.
We're gonna be late.
Where's dad?
- He'll be here in...
- Hey.
- Finally. Let's go.
- Yeah. I know.
I just got to talk
To felicity for one second.
- But we're already late.
- Just a minute. I promise.
Council's convening.
I promised them
I would show Them something.
Prepare to be Happy.
Documentation
Of threats from diaz.
To hill's family
And bank statements.
Proving that he paid For
armand's son's Cancer treatment.
- That's it. That's good work.
- Yeah. It's really good work.
It might be too good Of work.
Without the scpd,
The only person that.
Can really obtain this
Type of evidence is...
Well, as far as City
council's Concerned is you.
Are you telling me That the
single piece Of evidence.
That will stop
This imminent impeachment.
Is also the evidence that Will directly
connect me To being the green arrow?
I mean, you could tell Them that
you're married To a super-hacker.
- That's not funny.
- I know.
I tried to plant A fake trail.
It was just that
I ran out of time.
You ran out of time
Because you're focusing.
On making john and I Reconcile
instead Of doing your job.
- Hey. I'm on your side here.
- Are you on my side?
- Of course I'm on your side.
- Are you sure you're on my side?
How could you even say
Something like that?
- What is wrong with you?
- Dad, you said you'd...
William, I'm right in the middle
Of something, please.
- We're gonna be late.
- Well, then we're gonna be late!
Buddy, I'm really sorry.
- Get out.
- Felicity, it was an accident.
I will take care Of william.
Get out.
! What's wrong?
Looks like you Half-expected
me To be a member.
Of the league Of assassins.
No. I thought I heard Something.
- How's william?
- He won't come out of his room.
Look. I don't...
I have no idea
What came over me,
What made me lose it,
On him like that.
Everything's piling up.
Yeah, I know.
I think we should take
Some space, oliver.
Um...
I'm sorry. What?
How you lost it On william,
That is crossing A line.
I know that you have
A lot on your plate.
With diaz and john
And the impeachment,
But that is No excuse.
It can't be an excuse.
He's your son,
And you just Showed him the
man His father really is.
That is not the man
That I married.
Hey.
- You ok?
- Thanks for coming.
Listen. I, know
I've said this already,
But, you don't Look good.
Felicity...
Felicity found proof That hill
and armand Are in bed with diaz.
That's great. It's great.
Why you got a face
That says otherwise?
Council's gonna Ask me
how I got That evidence.
And you don't exactly Want to
tell them it's... It's your wife.
Just shine A big fat light.
On the suspicion
I'm the green arrow.
What are you gonna do?
I don't know.
My wife wants A separation.
I lost my temper
In front of my son.
I scared him.
It was really bad.
Well, you know, I mean,
Just apologize to the kid,
Sleep on the couch
For the night, and...
A separation just seems
A little extreme.
You know, quentin, With
everything that's Been happening,
It feels like par
For the course.
You talking About john diggle?
John, curtis, rene, Dinah.
Why haven't you Quit?
Promise of a raise.
Look. You said...
You said I've changed.
I... I appreciated What you said.
Why does everyone
Keep leaving me?
That's the thing
About change, right?
You hope you're doing
The right thing.
By becoming A better person,
But you're also becoming
A different person.
Some people, they just...
I guess like john,
They just react badly.
- That's one possibility.
- What's the other?
That I haven't really
Changed at all.
Come on. I don't buy that.
What you've told me
About john and curtis,
All those guys, They got
their own Issues, all right?
They're just putting
Them on you.
And felicity?
Felicity loves you, man.
That thing with her And
william, it's Gonna blow over.
Don't worry about that.
My advice...
You just got to focus On what's
right in front Of us now, ok?
I'm gonna reach out
To samanda watson.
Maybe she can help
Cover us on this.
Quentin, the woman
Wants me in prison.
But she also wants
Justice, right?
Taking down a crime boss
Who's overrun a city.
Seems to fit the bill
In my eyes.
Yeah, call her.
Now listen. That council
meeting's In an hour.
I got to focus.
I got to... I got to push.
This stuff Out of my head,
But I'll... I'll... I'll be there.
See you back At city hall.
Hello, oliver. Long time.
No. You... You killed yourself.
Funny thing. You never
did go Back for my body.
Guess you were somewhat
Preoccupied, right?
Still, seems A little careless.
Come on, man! You've
seen People come back.
From what seemed
Like certain death.
As I recall...
You once were stabbed.
And fell off Of a mountain,
Yet here you are!
Do it!
I didn't last time.
And then I killed
The mother of your son.
I'm not playing games This time.
This time, I'm Coming for you.
And felicity And william,
Anyone and everyone Who's
ever been Close to you...
And there's only One way.
That you can stop me.
Now wasn't That better?
You know, you might Just
have to start Considering.
The possibility That I'm
just not Killable, oliver.
Heh.
No, adrian. You're dead.
Still on lian yu.
I'm hallucinating.
I knew you'd Kill me or try to.
I always was The one
person Who saw you.
For the murderer You are.
What are you doing?
You're Running a blood test.
You think you've been
Dosed with something.
You know, there is
Another explanation,
A more likely one
In my considered opinion.
You're finally Going crazy.
It's completely
Understandable, ollie.
You've lost everything. Heh.
Even the people I couldn't
Manage to take from you.
I really like This ricardo diaz.
If he didn't exist, I'd have
to think Him up myself.
He's going about all
Of this exactly right.
Don't... don't hurt
The people that you love.
Just get them all
To abandon you.
It's actually the easiest
Thing in the world.
I told you this, ollie.
I told you this, man.
Everything you touch Dies.
What you're going
Through right now...
Losing your team,
Your wife, the impeachment...
All of it is happening just
Like I told you it would,
And nothing In that blood test.
Is gonna change that.
Well?
Vertigo?
Absorbed it Through my...
Kullens.
Friend of yours?
Apparently not.
Don't... don't Go talk to quentin.
You are not in the state Of mind
to be talking To him right now.
He might have you Committed,
Which would be A shame.
Since by my count
He's the only person.
Still left In your corner.
Ok. Felicity, william,
And I will be fine.
I just need to Talk to them.
Maybe, but what About the rest?
It's tough to say
You're in a good place.
When your oldest friend
Leaves you high and dry.
John made his choice.
Deep down, you know He's right.
You've changed. Sure.
Maybe you are a...
A better oliver queen,
A happier Oliver queen...
But it has sure made
You a worse hero.
You have a wife, A
son, you're The mayor,
All of which, yes,
May be going away,
But still, it's
A fair assumption.
You're stretched
Too thin, buddy.
Maybe you've gotten So good
at being Oliver queen.
That the green arrow's
Mission is suffering.
You may be happier, But
the people That you love,
They're not.
Hey. What's Vertigo do?
Does it show you
Your worst fear?
You're not
My worst fear, adrian.
You're nowhere close.
I know.
Your worst fear is yourself.
Your worst enemy Is yourself.
Guys like me, ricardo diaz,
Damien darhk, ra's al ghul,
When it comes
To destroying you, oliver,
We all come In second place.
You're the one enemy
You can't defeat.
Yes, quentin?
Hearing's about to start.
Where the hell are you?
Well, kullens dosed me
With vertigo,
And I have been Dealing with it.
Didn't you say that Diaz was
dealing Vertigo these days?
Well, kullens is Working
for diaz Apparently.
Listen. Where are we
With agent watson?
- She's mulling it over.
- She's got to mull faster.
All right. I'll give
Her another call.
Listen. Just get Down here as
fast As you can, all right?
I'm on my way.
Ollie.
Why are you looking
At me like that?
Ollie?
Are you ok?
I don't know.
You know, if
You tell her the truth,
She'll just think
You're crazy, oliver.
You'll break her heart
All over again.
Nobody wants that.
Hey. Hey. You can tell
Me anything. You know that.
I know that.
I need to leave.
I thought The boat left at 6:00.
- What?
- The gambit,
The trip that you're
Going on with your father.
I ran into sara. She said
that you Hadn't packed yet.
Do you want me To help you?
Man, look at how
Innocent she was,
How much She loved you.
- You destroyed that.
- Ollie.
Tell her about Her future, man.
Tell... tell her
About what happens.
When she becomes
The black canary.
Ollie, please help me.
Please. I'm scared.
I don't want to die.
This is gonna destroy My father.
He can't handle this.
She's got A point.
My question is,
Why did you let her.
Become the black canary
In the first place?
Heh. She's a lawyer.
What, after a couple
Self-defense classes.
And a few sparring
Sessions with you,
You think she's ready To go
handle thugs And killers?
- It was a mistake.
- Yeah. Your mistake.
Which I had to pay for.
It was a mistake...
But I knew you,
And I knew that You would do it.
With or without me.
I thought this way
I could protect you.
And how did that work out
For you, ollie?
Yeah, ollie.
How'd that work out for her?
For me, not too good.
I gave you an out.
I told you to stand down.
- Stay down!
- No way!
You know, john came
To see me in here.
Felicity, too,
But you were nowhere, hoss.
He's got A point, oliver.
If your conscience
Is so sparkly clean,
Why didn't you Check on rene?
You were here.
Rene made it clear.
Matter of fact, All of
you have Made it clear.
That you don't want
Anything to do with me.
Always a comeback
For everything.
That's enough.
It's not real.
Raisa.
It's not safe here For you.
A man came.
Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey.
Raisa, what... what man?
With a dragon tattoo.
He wants to hurt you.
I tried to stop him.
Little lady Wouldn't go
down Without a fight.
Your wife and kid Aren't here.
They're at some Science fair.
Come on, come on, come on,
Come on, come on.
You still think This isn't real?
Unh!
Does that feel real
Enough for you?
I always wondered Why
nobody just Does that...
Kill you straight.
Turns out, it'd be
A waste of time.
You're more dangerous
As a martyr.
Than you are As green arrow,
But before That happens,
There's a lot left Of you.
That I want to break.
Yeah. Quentin, hi. I'm gonna
need that Hearing delayed.
I'll explain everything.
I'm on my way to city hall.
You have failed This city,
And you know why.
Because I got Away from you.
You were never supposed
To have partners.
There was never supposed
To be a john diggle,
A felicity smoak,
A team arrow.
There was never supposed
To be a green arrow.
There was only the mission!
I lost sight of that.
You lost your city!
And now you know
What you have to do.
To get it back.
It's been Over an hour.
Where is the mayor?
Well, why don't
You ask ricardo diaz?
Apologies For being late.
Over an hour late,
And we certainly hope
You've come with something.
Worthy of our time.
One minute.
- You all right?
- No.
Where are we With watson?
We're on our own.
It's our only card.
You sure you want to Play it?
It's our only card.
- Mr. Mayor.
- Ok. This flash drive,
It contains financial data
And correspondence linking.
Captain hill and d.A. Armand
With a known felon.
Named ricardo diaz.
Known by whom?
I've never heard
Of a ricardo diaz.
By design. He's kept
A very low profile.
How did you obtain
This purported evidence.
Against our former Police
captain And district attorney?
The green arrow Gave it to me.
Or perhaps you gave it
To yourself.
I'm not the green arrow.
Not according to
The police captain.
Or d.A. That you fired.
And it also seems
Rather convenient.
That you're not The green arrow.
But enjoy a close personal
Relationship with him.
That go down How you expected?
Are you aware
That we can impeach you.
Not just for obstruction
Of justice.
But for perjury
And vigilantism, as well?
Ok. I am so sorry, But something.
Very urgent Has just come in.
I need to speak
To the mayor, please,
So, please.
10 minutes... Tops.
Thank you.
Wait, wait. What's happening?
Are felicity and william
All right?
Listen. The urgent thing Was
just a lie to buy Us some time.
Felicity and william
Are fine, ok?
It is you I'm worried about.
Have you still got That
vertigo crap In your system?
- Yep.
- Ok. Listen. We need to retreat,
We need to regroup, ok, So
I'm gonna go Back in there,
And I'm gonna Tell them you
got A family emergency.
You might not Be wrong.
Ok. Listen. You need To go
back to your Secret lair.
Get yourself well.
We'll figure out The next steps.
Sorry, oliver. Bad beat,
But for what it's worth,
I always thought.
You were a halfway Decent mayor.
Not a great track record When it
comes to hiring D.A.S, though.
This vertigo.
Is going to be out
Of my system eventually,
And you'll be gone.
Not possible.
I'm not here, remember?
I'm here.
I'm you...
Which is why you're
Gonna listen to me.
When I tell you
What you have to do.
The only way to prove That you're
the hero That you say you are.
And keep being mayor Is to
take down Diaz tonight.
No. He's got an army.
You mean, all those cops
At the scpd?
I mean that walking In there
is A suicide mission.
That's the risk A hero
takes, Isn't it, oliver?
Diaz is there
Every night, 10:13 p.M.
The question is.
Will you be there To meet him?
Thanks for helping me Put
my project Back together.
No problemo. Second place, too.
Pretty good even If that cheater
Sarah epstein got The gold for
her Solar hot dog cooker.
That I swear I've seen
On amazon.
You know, When I was your age,
I could hit, like,
3 science fairs a day,
And now one... one
Knocks me right out.
- Where's dad?
- He's buying us.
Expensive gifts If he knows
what's Good for him.
Your purse Is beeping.
- William, go play video games.
- What...
Got to do some work,
Buddy, all right?
- I'm sorry.
- I know what kind of work.
Good luck.
Pick up, pick up, pick up...
- quentin.
- Felicity.
Tell me oliver's With you.
Well, he was. I... I just sent
him Back to the bunker.
No. He's not On his way there.
I have a gps on his bow,
And it's on the move.
All right. Slow down.
Let me explain.
It has been a hell
Of an afternoon.
- What happened?
- Oliver was dosed with vertigo.
- Kullens did it.
- That would explain why.
He lost it On william.
He said, you...
You kicked him out.
No, I didn't. I would never.
He's on his way To the precinct.
I mean, that's Totally my fault.
I told him that diaz
Would be there.
Quentin, this is
A suicide mission.
- You have to stop him.
- I'm on my way.
Ok.
What's happening?
Is dad all right?
No. Dad is on drugs. I mean,
not that Kind of drugs.
He's gonna be fine. I just... I
have to Go help him, ok?
I know. I was listening.
You're an angel.
Actually an angel.
- Hey!
- Get out of here, quentin.
What are you doing
In that old thing?
Getting back to my
Original mission.
Listen. That's just
The vertigo talking.
- You cannot go in there!
- This ends tonight.
Listen. Even if you Weren't
high, this Would be a bad idea.
- You're outnumbered!
- I can handle it.
- Listen to me.
- I said... unh...
I can handle it.
Quentin? Quentin!
Hey! You ok?
Wow. Your husband Packs a punch.
Diaz's men cannot find
The deputy mayor here, ok?
You have to get
Out of here, all right?
- Ooh.
- I have to go save my husband.
Yep.
Don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't!
Do not open That door.
On the other side Of that
door, There's a bunch.
Of trigger-happy cops
Just waiting for you.
- It is a trap.
- You're not here!
Yes, I am. It's me, ok?
It's the real me.
Do not go Through that door.
I have to. I have to stop diaz.
And you will, But not
like this, Not tonight.
He is right On the other
side Of that door!
So are a bunch Of angry
cops just Waiting for you.
You go through that door,
What happens to william?
William has you.
Well, what happens To me?
- You left.
- No, I didn't.
That was not me, Oliver.
The real me is
Standing right here,
And I'm not going Anywhere.
I'm glue, baby. Please.
Where are you?
The vertigo, it's Making its
way through Your system, ok?
It's on its last gasp,
So just... just listen.
Listen to my voice.
No, no, no, no.
Don't. Don't listen to her.
Remember what
Your told yourself.
You were never supposed
To have partners.
I know it feels Like
you've lost Everything.
I don't know how to tell
If you're real.
That's the vertigo. It's
just messing With your head.
Don't trust it.
Ok. Listen To your heart.
Come on.
Screw it.
Go after him.
- Come on!
- Just like old times.
Well, thanks
For coming back for me.
Ok. Well, less thanking,
More escaping!
Right!
- What's this?
- It's an isotonic concoction.
Of my own making.
There are oranges
In there for vitamin c,
There's almonds
In there for vitamin e,
There's avocado
In there for omega-3s.
Do not smell it. Just drink it.
- Salty.
- Yeah. That would be.
The fermented Fish oils.
Supposed to help Balance
your Serotonin levels.
I call it felicity's Party raver
hangover Supreme cure! Heh.
Though that might An insensitive
choice Of words considering.
What you just Went through,
But trust me... It
works like A charm.
Not that I've Used it much.
I mean, that was All in the past.
Trust me. Ahem.
Drugs are bad.
Listen. That was gutsy As hell,
You going in The
precinct Like that.
Yeah. Well, my man Was in there.
Yeah, but whatever
You said to him.
Could have Been caught
on Security cameras.
No. Diaz had Shut them down,
So our identities Are safe.
Irony sold Separately.
Excuse me. I got to Take this.
It's the office.
I haven't seen that In a while.
Wanted to take it For a
spin down Memory lane
- or something?
- Something like that.
- Heh.
- The vertigo gave me.
Some... Clarity.
Sure you're not still high?
John had a point.
I have spread myself
Pretty thin.
I'm not giving up on you,
Not giving up on william,
And if by some miracle,
I'm not impeached,
I will keep being The mayor.
I believe deeply In the good.
That I can do
As the green arrow...
But I need to bring The
mission back To basics.
I need to bring it back
To where it started.
You mean alone.
Alone.
Sorry, guys.
I hate to interrupt,
But, we got to
Turn the tv on. News.
In a shocking fall from grace,
The star city council has voted.
To impeach mayor oliver queen
And remove him from office.
We now go live
To councilman kullens'
Public statement.
Mr. Queen's affect
At today's inquiry.
Certainly placed his fitness
For office into question,
But fundamentally,
It was the unilateral firing.
Of captain hill and d.A. Armand.
That ultimately Sealed his fate.
Sorry. I just couldn't stand
To listen to him any longer.
Ok. Listen. I'm gonna
Call jean loring.
There's got to be Legal
options We can pursue.
No.
I don't want you wasting
Any more time.
Or political capital On me.
I don't give a crap
About political capital!
You should because
You're the mayor now.
Thank you so much, raisa,
For coming.
On such short notice.
I'm used to it.
Thank you, raisa.
Are you ok, oliver?
I'll be just fine, Thank you.
I know this question
Might be questionable,
But from what it sounded
Like earlier...
It's like you were
Firing overwatch.
I'm not firing anyone.
I just... I need to go
Back to doing things.
Like I did When I started,
And that... that means
Doing it alone.
I need to stop diaz,
And in order to do that,
I need to have
A single-minded focus.
I've got to separate
These two worlds.
I just don't think That that's the
best Possible solution, oliver.
I respect your concern,
And I love you Very much for it.
We will talk more About this,
But I need to chat With william.
Yeah.
Hey.
I didn't know If you'd be awake.
I can't sleep.
I got a news alert
About the impairment.
It's impeachment.
Don't worry. I'll be fine.
I'm worried About you.
I'm really sorry About before.
I would never Purposefully.
Try to make you Afraid or...
Felicity said you were
On some sort of drug.
Accidentally.
I was dosed by someone.
Who works for the man
I'm trying to stop.
Ricardo diaz?
Can you stop him?
I think maybe I found a way.
Most importantly,
I need to know that
I'm not gonna lose you.
Or felicity... Ever.
You won't.
Hey. What are you Doing here?
I heard about What happened.
I wanted to see How you were.
Clearly, I should
Have brought a broom.
He's spiraling.
The vertigo worked even
Better than I was hoping.
I don't understand Why you
don't just Put a bullet.
In him or 20.
Because it'd be A waste of time.
He's more dangerous As a martyr.
Than as the green arrow.
I'm gonna dismantle him
Piece by piece.
Like with The impeachment?
The impeachment was
Just the latest step.
And what's The next one?
We spread the word.
That with mayor queen out.
Star city,
It's open for business.
Greg, move your head!
---
The two of you are
Working for ricardo diaz.
You're both fired
Effective immediately.
Obviously, the mayor.
Terminated us
To impede the prosecution.
Of his activities
As the green arrow.
What oliver queen did is
An impeachable offense.
The way you lead Alienates.
Everyone and everything
Around you. Look.
You put the team
At risk by lying!
You leave a trail Of bodies.
Every damn place That you go!
My trail of bodies.
Doesn't include My own brother.
Truth is, oliver,
You have become a better man.
But, with your focus split,
A worse leader.
If I'm gonna be
The best version of myself,
It can't be with you.
You told rebecca
What's going on?
You kidding? She'd have
My nuts in a vise.
If she knew I was On the take.
She doesn't get it. It's
a different City now.
It's a different world.
We better call Backup.
It might just be A power surge.
It's not. Call backup now!
Unh!
What the hell?
Come on out, You son of a bitch!
Where's diaz?
Somewhere inside Surrounded
by A hundred cops.
You'll never Get to him.
- He's here.
- That was predictable.
Lockdown mode now. Protect diaz.
Agh!
Where's diaz?
Agh!
Where's diaz?
In there.
This is gonna be fun.
Allies are
In short supply for mayor queen.
As the city reacts In the wake.
Of the sudden firing
Of captain kimberly hill.
And d.A. Samir armand.
Though city hall maintains
The firings had no relation.
To the ongoing investigation
Into the mayor's.
Reputed vigilantism
As the green arrow,
Sources
Within the city council say.
That impeachment
Is highly possible.
No. They can't actually
Impeach you for firing.
Two people On diaz's payroll.
They can if they Claim I
did it To protect myself.
Look. We need Rock-solid proof.
That they are Working for diaz.
That's why you have me,
But in the meantime,
I have something else.
I just got some More evidence.
On how diaz has
Corrupted the scpd.
So ever since dinah
And company got fired,
I have been monitoring
The station's.
Internal security feed,
And every night
At 10:13, this happens,
And then... boop...
45 minutes later,
The feed goes back
Online like clockwork.
He's monitoring
His minions in blue.
- He's got to be.
- I agree.
If you're thinking What I
think You're thinking,
You need to stop Thinking it right Now.
It's bad.
I can't make a move on diaz
Unless I know where he is,
And you just told me Where he is.
Every night at 10:13.
You can't storm The bad cop
castle By yourself, oliver.
- It is suicide.
- If I get diaz,
This is all done...
The investigation,
The corruption,
The impeachment, All of it.
I stop all of it.
You can't go there Alone.
You will not Come out.
You need help.
All of our help quit.
Well, maybe john
Has changed his mind.
What are you Talking about?
Hey, oliver.
John.
What do you need?
Well, felicity said
That she needed.
To update the code On my chip.
She also said that you
Would be at city hall.
Well, I said He might be.
I didn't say He would be,
And, yeah,
I "Parent trapped" you,
But it was a little naive
Of you to think.
That I wouldn't
Considering how well.
You know me, you know.
Now that we are All together,
We can talk About what happened.
I'm pretty sure john Has said
everything He needs to say.
I think you're
Absolutely right. I did.
Guys, this isn't
About what he said.
Or what he said Or your egos.
We have bigger problems
At hand here.
We need to stop diaz,
And we have
Some pretty good intel.
Good intel tends To fall
apart In the hands.
Of bad leadership,
Don't you think?
Oliver, come on. It doesn't
have To be that way.
How would you Like it to be?
Well, it doesn't change
The fact that neither of you.
Can take down Diaz alone.
I think there's more
Than one way to catch diaz.
I've been offered
A job at a.R.G.U.S.
Gonna take it?
Thinking about it. Why?
Last time you needed Something from
a.R.G.U.S., You had to steal it.
Oliver, you keep
That attitude, man,
You're gonna end up All alone.
I've listened To your advice.
For the last 6 years.
I think I've earned A reprieve.
That is not how I
thought that Would go.
Sure it was. This is
Who he is, felicity,
And no one knows that
More than you.
Elected officials Cannot fire.
The very law Enforcement
personnel Investigating them.
To do so is The definition
of Obstruction of justice.
Captain hill And d.A. Armand.
Were actively sabotaging
This city.
By aligning themselves
With ricardo diaz.
I was not obstructing Justice.
- I was serving it.
- From what I understand,
Ricardo diaz is A
second-rate Drug dealer.
Who was released From
prison on A technicality.
I fail to see Your point.
The idea that he
Could compromise.
A police captain
And a district attorney.
Is laughable.
I assume that the mayor.
Will get a chance to address
The city council,
Lay out the facts
As he sees them.
Preliminary impeachment
Proceedings.
Begin This afternoon.
The mayor Will have a chance.
To plead his case, Of course.
For your sake, Mr. Mayor,
And for the sake
Of your administration,
I hope you have Something
more Concrete to offer.
The council other Than
unsupported Suspicions.
And I know we
Haven't always gotten along,
But I do believe In due process.
I'll make sure The council.
Approaches this Fairly.
I will see you And the
council This afternoon.
With evidence.
You mind if I ask
What evidence exactly?
Felicity's working on it.
I guess that's
Somewhat reassuring.
On the bright side, If I get
impeached, You get promoted.
Heh heh heh! I'm not much.
Of a politician, Oliver.
Well, with diaz
Running the city,
It's not really Politics, is it?
Is that the only Thing
bothering You... diaz?
You've looked Better.
John quit.
I'd say he quit The team, but...
There's no team.
He seems to think
I'm to blame for that.
Well, I don't see It that way.
- You're not there, quentin.
- Yeah, I know,
But I was there When the hood
first Showed up, remember,
And that guy bears
Very little resemblance.
To the guy I'm Talking to now.
I mean, look at you. You're the
mayor, You're a family man.
You're out busting Your hump
every night For this city.
I've seen how much
You've changed, oliver.
So why is all this Happening?
Cayden james and diaz,
They've done a number,
But things Will get better.
You just got to Stay the course.
Where you going?
I'm going to check in
On felicity,
See if she's making
Any progress,
And I promised william
That I would take him.
To his science fair.
It's not The best timing.
I think schools
Plan it that way.
Well, I mean, You outdid me.
For my science fair project,
All I did was hack napster.
What's napster?
Wow. I am getting older
By the minute.
I can't believe you
Cloned a cabbage.
When I was a girl,
Cabbage grew in the ground.
Well, you're a long
Way from home, raisa.
That I know.
I'll put these in the car.
- Thank you.
- I just really hope it's better.
Than sarah epstein's
Solar hot dog cooker.
She's really been Talking it up.
We're gonna be late.
Where's dad?
- He'll be here in...
- Hey.
- Finally. Let's go.
- Yeah. I know.
I just got to talk
To felicity for one second.
- But we're already late.
- Just a minute. I promise.
Council's convening.
I promised them
I would show Them something.
Prepare to be Happy.
Documentation
Of threats from diaz.
To hill's family
And bank statements.
Proving that he paid For
armand's son's Cancer treatment.
- That's it. That's good work.
- Yeah. It's really good work.
It might be too good Of work.
Without the scpd,
The only person that.
Can really obtain this
Type of evidence is...
Well, as far as City
council's Concerned is you.
Are you telling me That the
single piece Of evidence.
That will stop
This imminent impeachment.
Is also the evidence that Will directly
connect me To being the green arrow?
I mean, you could tell Them that
you're married To a super-hacker.
- That's not funny.
- I know.
I tried to plant A fake trail.
It was just that
I ran out of time.
You ran out of time
Because you're focusing.
On making john and I Reconcile
instead Of doing your job.
- Hey. I'm on your side here.
- Are you on my side?
- Of course I'm on your side.
- Are you sure you're on my side?
How could you even say
Something like that?
- What is wrong with you?
- Dad, you said you'd...
William, I'm right in the middle
Of something, please.
- We're gonna be late.
- Well, then we're gonna be late!
Buddy, I'm really sorry.
- Get out.
- Felicity, it was an accident.
I will take care Of william.
Get out.
! What's wrong?
Looks like you Half-expected
me To be a member.
Of the league Of assassins.
No. I thought I heard Something.
- How's william?
- He won't come out of his room.
Look. I don't...
I have no idea
What came over me,
What made me lose it,
On him like that.
Everything's piling up.
Yeah, I know.
I think we should take
Some space, oliver.
Um...
I'm sorry. What?
How you lost it On william,
That is crossing A line.
I know that you have
A lot on your plate.
With diaz and john
And the impeachment,
But that is No excuse.
It can't be an excuse.
He's your son,
And you just Showed him the
man His father really is.
That is not the man
That I married.
Hey.
- You ok?
- Thanks for coming.
Listen. I, know
I've said this already,
But, you don't Look good.
Felicity...
Felicity found proof That hill
and armand Are in bed with diaz.
That's great. It's great.
Why you got a face
That says otherwise?
Council's gonna Ask me
how I got That evidence.
And you don't exactly Want to
tell them it's... It's your wife.
Just shine A big fat light.
On the suspicion
I'm the green arrow.
What are you gonna do?
I don't know.
My wife wants A separation.
I lost my temper
In front of my son.
I scared him.
It was really bad.
Well, you know, I mean,
Just apologize to the kid,
Sleep on the couch
For the night, and...
A separation just seems
A little extreme.
You know, quentin, With
everything that's Been happening,
It feels like par
For the course.
You talking About john diggle?
John, curtis, rene, Dinah.
Why haven't you Quit?
Promise of a raise.
Look. You said...
You said I've changed.
I... I appreciated What you said.
Why does everyone
Keep leaving me?
That's the thing
About change, right?
You hope you're doing
The right thing.
By becoming A better person,
But you're also becoming
A different person.
Some people, they just...
I guess like john,
They just react badly.
- That's one possibility.
- What's the other?
That I haven't really
Changed at all.
Come on. I don't buy that.
What you've told me
About john and curtis,
All those guys, They got
their own Issues, all right?
They're just putting
Them on you.
And felicity?
Felicity loves you, man.
That thing with her And
william, it's Gonna blow over.
Don't worry about that.
My advice...
You just got to focus On what's
right in front Of us now, ok?
I'm gonna reach out
To samanda watson.
Maybe she can help
Cover us on this.
Quentin, the woman
Wants me in prison.
But she also wants
Justice, right?
Taking down a crime boss
Who's overrun a city.
Seems to fit the bill
In my eyes.
Yeah, call her.
Now listen. That council
meeting's In an hour.
I got to focus.
I got to... I got to push.
This stuff Out of my head,
But I'll... I'll... I'll be there.
See you back At city hall.
Hello, oliver. Long time.
No. You... You killed yourself.
Funny thing. You never
did go Back for my body.
Guess you were somewhat
Preoccupied, right?
Still, seems A little careless.
Come on, man! You've
seen People come back.
From what seemed
Like certain death.
As I recall...
You once were stabbed.
And fell off Of a mountain,
Yet here you are!
Do it!
I didn't last time.
And then I killed
The mother of your son.
I'm not playing games This time.
This time, I'm Coming for you.
And felicity And william,
Anyone and everyone Who's
ever been Close to you...
And there's only One way.
That you can stop me.
Now wasn't That better?
You know, you might Just
have to start Considering.
The possibility That I'm
just not Killable, oliver.
Heh.
No, adrian. You're dead.
Still on lian yu.
I'm hallucinating.
I knew you'd Kill me or try to.
I always was The one
person Who saw you.
For the murderer You are.
What are you doing?
You're Running a blood test.
You think you've been
Dosed with something.
You know, there is
Another explanation,
A more likely one
In my considered opinion.
You're finally Going crazy.
It's completely
Understandable, ollie.
You've lost everything. Heh.
Even the people I couldn't
Manage to take from you.
I really like This ricardo diaz.
If he didn't exist, I'd have
to think Him up myself.
He's going about all
Of this exactly right.
Don't... don't hurt
The people that you love.
Just get them all
To abandon you.
It's actually the easiest
Thing in the world.
I told you this, ollie.
I told you this, man.
Everything you touch Dies.
What you're going
Through right now...
Losing your team,
Your wife, the impeachment...
All of it is happening just
Like I told you it would,
And nothing In that blood test.
Is gonna change that.
Well?
Vertigo?
Absorbed it Through my...
Kullens.
Friend of yours?
Apparently not.
Don't... don't Go talk to quentin.
You are not in the state Of mind
to be talking To him right now.
He might have you Committed,
Which would be A shame.
Since by my count
He's the only person.
Still left In your corner.
Ok. Felicity, william,
And I will be fine.
I just need to Talk to them.
Maybe, but what About the rest?
It's tough to say
You're in a good place.
When your oldest friend
Leaves you high and dry.
John made his choice.
Deep down, you know He's right.
You've changed. Sure.
Maybe you are a...
A better oliver queen,
A happier Oliver queen...
But it has sure made
You a worse hero.
You have a wife, A
son, you're The mayor,
All of which, yes,
May be going away,
But still, it's
A fair assumption.
You're stretched
Too thin, buddy.
Maybe you've gotten So good
at being Oliver queen.
That the green arrow's
Mission is suffering.
You may be happier, But
the people That you love,
They're not.
Hey. What's Vertigo do?
Does it show you
Your worst fear?
You're not
My worst fear, adrian.
You're nowhere close.
I know.
Your worst fear is yourself.
Your worst enemy Is yourself.
Guys like me, ricardo diaz,
Damien darhk, ra's al ghul,
When it comes
To destroying you, oliver,
We all come In second place.
You're the one enemy
You can't defeat.
Yes, quentin?
Hearing's about to start.
Where the hell are you?
Well, kullens dosed me
With vertigo,
And I have been Dealing with it.
Didn't you say that Diaz was
dealing Vertigo these days?
Well, kullens is Working
for diaz Apparently.
Listen. Where are we
With agent watson?
- She's mulling it over.
- She's got to mull faster.
All right. I'll give
Her another call.
Listen. Just get Down here as
fast As you can, all right?
I'm on my way.
Ollie.
Why are you looking
At me like that?
Ollie?
Are you ok?
I don't know.
You know, if
You tell her the truth,
She'll just think
You're crazy, oliver.
You'll break her heart
All over again.
Nobody wants that.
Hey. Hey. You can tell
Me anything. You know that.
I know that.
I need to leave.
I thought The boat left at 6:00.
- What?
- The gambit,
The trip that you're
Going on with your father.
I ran into sara. She said
that you Hadn't packed yet.
Do you want me To help you?
Man, look at how
Innocent she was,
How much She loved you.
- You destroyed that.
- Ollie.
Tell her about Her future, man.
Tell... tell her
About what happens.
When she becomes
The black canary.
Ollie, please help me.
Please. I'm scared.
I don't want to die.
This is gonna destroy My father.
He can't handle this.
She's got A point.
My question is,
Why did you let her.
Become the black canary
In the first place?
Heh. She's a lawyer.
What, after a couple
Self-defense classes.
And a few sparring
Sessions with you,
You think she's ready To go
handle thugs And killers?
- It was a mistake.
- Yeah. Your mistake.
Which I had to pay for.
It was a mistake...
But I knew you,
And I knew that You would do it.
With or without me.
I thought this way
I could protect you.
And how did that work out
For you, ollie?
Yeah, ollie.
How'd that work out for her?
For me, not too good.
I gave you an out.
I told you to stand down.
- Stay down!
- No way!
You know, john came
To see me in here.
Felicity, too,
But you were nowhere, hoss.
He's got A point, oliver.
If your conscience
Is so sparkly clean,
Why didn't you Check on rene?
You were here.
Rene made it clear.
Matter of fact, All of
you have Made it clear.
That you don't want
Anything to do with me.
Always a comeback
For everything.
That's enough.
It's not real.
Raisa.
It's not safe here For you.
A man came.
Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey.
Raisa, what... what man?
With a dragon tattoo.
He wants to hurt you.
I tried to stop him.
Little lady Wouldn't go
down Without a fight.
Your wife and kid Aren't here.
They're at some Science fair.
Come on, come on, come on,
Come on, come on.
You still think This isn't real?
Unh!
Does that feel real
Enough for you?
I always wondered Why
nobody just Does that...
Kill you straight.
Turns out, it'd be
A waste of time.
You're more dangerous
As a martyr.
Than you are As green arrow,
But before That happens,
There's a lot left Of you.
That I want to break.
Yeah. Quentin, hi. I'm gonna
need that Hearing delayed.
I'll explain everything.
I'm on my way to city hall.
You have failed This city,
And you know why.
Because I got Away from you.
You were never supposed
To have partners.
There was never supposed
To be a john diggle,
A felicity smoak,
A team arrow.
There was never supposed
To be a green arrow.
There was only the mission!
I lost sight of that.
You lost your city!
And now you know
What you have to do.
To get it back.
It's been Over an hour.
Where is the mayor?
Well, why don't
You ask ricardo diaz?
Apologies For being late.
Over an hour late,
And we certainly hope
You've come with something.
Worthy of our time.
One minute.
- You all right?
- No.
Where are we With watson?
We're on our own.
It's our only card.
You sure you want to Play it?
It's our only card.
- Mr. Mayor.
- Ok. This flash drive,
It contains financial data
And correspondence linking.
Captain hill and d.A. Armand
With a known felon.
Named ricardo diaz.
Known by whom?
I've never heard
Of a ricardo diaz.
By design. He's kept
A very low profile.
How did you obtain
This purported evidence.
Against our former Police
captain And district attorney?
The green arrow Gave it to me.
Or perhaps you gave it
To yourself.
I'm not the green arrow.
Not according to
The police captain.
Or d.A. That you fired.
And it also seems
Rather convenient.
That you're not The green arrow.
But enjoy a close personal
Relationship with him.
That go down How you expected?
Are you aware
That we can impeach you.
Not just for obstruction
Of justice.
But for perjury
And vigilantism, as well?
Ok. I am so sorry, But something.
Very urgent Has just come in.
I need to speak
To the mayor, please,
So, please.
10 minutes... Tops.
Thank you.
Wait, wait. What's happening?
Are felicity and william
All right?
Listen. The urgent thing Was
just a lie to buy Us some time.
Felicity and william
Are fine, ok?
It is you I'm worried about.
Have you still got That
vertigo crap In your system?
- Yep.
- Ok. Listen. We need to retreat,
We need to regroup, ok, So
I'm gonna go Back in there,
And I'm gonna Tell them you
got A family emergency.
You might not Be wrong.
Ok. Listen. You need To go
back to your Secret lair.
Get yourself well.
We'll figure out The next steps.
Sorry, oliver. Bad beat,
But for what it's worth,
I always thought.
You were a halfway Decent mayor.
Not a great track record When it
comes to hiring D.A.S, though.
This vertigo.
Is going to be out
Of my system eventually,
And you'll be gone.
Not possible.
I'm not here, remember?
I'm here.
I'm you...
Which is why you're
Gonna listen to me.
When I tell you
What you have to do.
The only way to prove That you're
the hero That you say you are.
And keep being mayor Is to
take down Diaz tonight.
No. He's got an army.
You mean, all those cops
At the scpd?
I mean that walking In there
is A suicide mission.
That's the risk A hero
takes, Isn't it, oliver?
Diaz is there
Every night, 10:13 p.M.
The question is.
Will you be there To meet him?
Thanks for helping me Put
my project Back together.
No problemo. Second place, too.
Pretty good even If that cheater
Sarah epstein got The gold for
her Solar hot dog cooker.
That I swear I've seen
On amazon.
You know, When I was your age,
I could hit, like,
3 science fairs a day,
And now one... one
Knocks me right out.
- Where's dad?
- He's buying us.
Expensive gifts If he knows
what's Good for him.
Your purse Is beeping.
- William, go play video games.
- What...
Got to do some work,
Buddy, all right?
- I'm sorry.
- I know what kind of work.
Good luck.
Pick up, pick up, pick up...
- quentin.
- Felicity.
Tell me oliver's With you.
Well, he was. I... I just sent
him Back to the bunker.
No. He's not On his way there.
I have a gps on his bow,
And it's on the move.
All right. Slow down.
Let me explain.
It has been a hell
Of an afternoon.
- What happened?
- Oliver was dosed with vertigo.
- Kullens did it.
- That would explain why.
He lost it On william.
He said, you...
You kicked him out.
No, I didn't. I would never.
He's on his way To the precinct.
I mean, that's Totally my fault.
I told him that diaz
Would be there.
Quentin, this is
A suicide mission.
- You have to stop him.
- I'm on my way.
Ok.
What's happening?
Is dad all right?
No. Dad is on drugs. I mean,
not that Kind of drugs.
He's gonna be fine. I just... I
have to Go help him, ok?
I know. I was listening.
You're an angel.
Actually an angel.
- Hey!
- Get out of here, quentin.
What are you doing
In that old thing?
Getting back to my
Original mission.
Listen. That's just
The vertigo talking.
- You cannot go in there!
- This ends tonight.
Listen. Even if you Weren't
high, this Would be a bad idea.
- You're outnumbered!
- I can handle it.
- Listen to me.
- I said... unh...
I can handle it.
Quentin? Quentin!
Hey! You ok?
Wow. Your husband Packs a punch.
Diaz's men cannot find
The deputy mayor here, ok?
You have to get
Out of here, all right?
- Ooh.
- I have to go save my husband.
Yep.
Don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't!
Do not open That door.
On the other side Of that
door, There's a bunch.
Of trigger-happy cops
Just waiting for you.
- It is a trap.
- You're not here!
Yes, I am. It's me, ok?
It's the real me.
Do not go Through that door.
I have to. I have to stop diaz.
And you will, But not
like this, Not tonight.
He is right On the other
side Of that door!
So are a bunch Of angry
cops just Waiting for you.
You go through that door,
What happens to william?
William has you.
Well, what happens To me?
- You left.
- No, I didn't.
That was not me, Oliver.
The real me is
Standing right here,
And I'm not going Anywhere.
I'm glue, baby. Please.
Where are you?
The vertigo, it's Making its
way through Your system, ok?
It's on its last gasp,
So just... just listen.
Listen to my voice.
No, no, no, no.
Don't. Don't listen to her.
Remember what
Your told yourself.
You were never supposed
To have partners.
I know it feels Like
you've lost Everything.
I don't know how to tell
If you're real.
That's the vertigo. It's
just messing With your head.
Don't trust it.
Ok. Listen To your heart.
Come on.
Screw it.
Go after him.
- Come on!
- Just like old times.
Well, thanks
For coming back for me.
Ok. Well, less thanking,
More escaping!
Right!
- What's this?
- It's an isotonic concoction.
Of my own making.
There are oranges
In there for vitamin c,
There's almonds
In there for vitamin e,
There's avocado
In there for omega-3s.
Do not smell it. Just drink it.
- Salty.
- Yeah. That would be.
The fermented Fish oils.
Supposed to help Balance
your Serotonin levels.
I call it felicity's Party raver
hangover Supreme cure! Heh.
Though that might An insensitive
choice Of words considering.
What you just Went through,
But trust me... It
works like A charm.
Not that I've Used it much.
I mean, that was All in the past.
Trust me. Ahem.
Drugs are bad.
Listen. That was gutsy As hell,
You going in The
precinct Like that.
Yeah. Well, my man Was in there.
Yeah, but whatever
You said to him.
Could have Been caught
on Security cameras.
No. Diaz had Shut them down,
So our identities Are safe.
Irony sold Separately.
Excuse me. I got to Take this.
It's the office.
I haven't seen that In a while.
Wanted to take it For a
spin down Memory lane
- or something?
- Something like that.
- Heh.
- The vertigo gave me.
Some... Clarity.
Sure you're not still high?
John had a point.
I have spread myself
Pretty thin.
I'm not giving up on you,
Not giving up on william,
And if by some miracle,
I'm not impeached,
I will keep being The mayor.
I believe deeply In the good.
That I can do
As the green arrow...
But I need to bring The
mission back To basics.
I need to bring it back
To where it started.
You mean alone.
Alone.
Sorry, guys.
I hate to interrupt,
But, we got to
Turn the tv on. News.
In a shocking fall from grace,
The star city council has voted.
To impeach mayor oliver queen
And remove him from office.
We now go live
To councilman kullens'
Public statement.
Mr. Queen's affect
At today's inquiry.
Certainly placed his fitness
For office into question,
But fundamentally,
It was the unilateral firing.
Of captain hill and d.A. Armand.
That ultimately Sealed his fate.
Sorry. I just couldn't stand
To listen to him any longer.
Ok. Listen. I'm gonna
Call jean loring.
There's got to be Legal
options We can pursue.
No.
I don't want you wasting
Any more time.
Or political capital On me.
I don't give a crap
About political capital!
You should because
You're the mayor now.
Thank you so much, raisa,
For coming.
On such short notice.
I'm used to it.
Thank you, raisa.
Are you ok, oliver?
I'll be just fine, Thank you.
I know this question
Might be questionable,
But from what it sounded
Like earlier...
It's like you were
Firing overwatch.
I'm not firing anyone.
I just... I need to go
Back to doing things.
Like I did When I started,
And that... that means
Doing it alone.
I need to stop diaz,
And in order to do that,
I need to have
A single-minded focus.
I've got to separate
These two worlds.
I just don't think That that's the
best Possible solution, oliver.
I respect your concern,
And I love you Very much for it.
We will talk more About this,
But I need to chat With william.
Yeah.
Hey.
I didn't know If you'd be awake.
I can't sleep.
I got a news alert
About the impairment.
It's impeachment.
Don't worry. I'll be fine.
I'm worried About you.
I'm really sorry About before.
I would never Purposefully.
Try to make you Afraid or...
Felicity said you were
On some sort of drug.
Accidentally.
I was dosed by someone.
Who works for the man
I'm trying to stop.
Ricardo diaz?
Can you stop him?
I think maybe I found a way.
Most importantly,
I need to know that
I'm not gonna lose you.
Or felicity... Ever.
You won't.
Hey. What are you Doing here?
I heard about What happened.
I wanted to see How you were.
Clearly, I should
Have brought a broom.
He's spiraling.
The vertigo worked even
Better than I was hoping.
I don't understand Why you
don't just Put a bullet.
In him or 20.
Because it'd be A waste of time.
He's more dangerous As a martyr.
Than as the green arrow.
I'm gonna dismantle him
Piece by piece.
Like with The impeachment?
The impeachment was
Just the latest step.
And what's The next one?
We spread the word.
That with mayor queen out.
Star city,
It's open for business.
Greg, move your head!
