QUEEN MANSION

A limo pulls up outside the mansion.

INSIDE-LIVING ROOM

Olivia, Oliver, Sasha, and Thea are gathered in the living room. Thea is sitting on the couch, her laptop across her lap.

Sam walks into the room

Thea: Tahitian green or midnight black? What's Bruce Wayne's favorite color?

Sam laughs, shaking his head

Sam: He really loves black.

Olivia: I think that you've been dropping hints all week, Thea and mom still isn't buying you a car for your birthday

Moira walks into the room

Moira: I could not have said it better myself.

Thea: Oliver, Liv, and Sasha all got cars when they turned 18.

Sasha: Yeah, but we could back it out of the driveway without hitting a tree.

Sam: My brother ran into a police car once when he was 14.

Oliver and Olivia: Done that.

Moira: Don't remind me

She looks at Sam and smiles

Moira: Oh Sam, it's been a while since we've seen you here. Do you have a place to call home?

Sam: I didn't want to intrude. Wanted to give you guys space.

Moira: Nonsense. If you need a place to lay your head, then the guest room is open for you.

Sam nods his head

Sam: Thanks, but I got a place. It's not the best but it's a roof over my head.

Moira: Thea, the party planner's waiting. Sorry to run off like this

She kisses Sam on the cheek; Thea stands up walking closer

Thea: Don't we have a convertible to go buy?

Olivia: Good luck.

Moira and Thea walks out of the living room.

Sam: How she doing?

Oliver: She's okay.

Sam walks past them to the breakfast table and picks up a grape, tossing it into his mouth then grabs an apple, taking a bite.

Oliver: Sas thinks she's actually a little bit too okay.

Sam: What's that mean?

Sasha: She's.......acting like not herself. Shut in one second then running the company the next.

Olivia: Her husband is missing and presumed who knows what. If anyone has an excuse to be not herself, it's mom.

Sam: Got a point

Oliver grabs the remote and turns the sound on the tv up.

Lance is shown on the screen

Lance: The department has got the same comment about this heist as it did the other two. No comment

The SCPD may not be willing to go on the record but traffic cameras go the entire heist in this exclusive.

A video clip of a heist plays out on the screen, robbing an armored truck in the middle of the night.

Sasha: This is why we keep all our money off shore.

Sam: You do? I keep mine under my mattress.

One of the guards was pronounced at the scene while the other died on route to Starling General. Their identities have not yet been released.

Olivia: Sounds like a job for red/purple/hood situation, don't you think?

Oliver and Sasha looks at her and shrugs.

Sam takes a bite of his apple

Sam: Has anyone noticed how hot your mom is?

Oliver, Olivia, and Sasha looks at him wide eyed while he shrugs, taking a bite of his apple.

QUEEN INDUSTRIAL-BASEMENT

Olivia is in a sports bra doing one armed push ups with one arm behind her back. Oliver is leaning against the table.

Sasha, John, and Sam walks down the stairs and towards them.

John: With all the guys working up top, you might want to think about a side entrance for your, uh, hero cave.

Oliver: Just put one in. South alleyway

Sam looks to John

Sam: A bat bit me in my last one.

Olivia stands up

Olivia: Something I want to show you

She walks towards the computers.

Oliver: Finally getting into online dating and you need help with your profile?

John: Oh wow, you made another funny

Oliver rolls his eyes. Sam and Sasha laughs.

Olivia: Not exactly

Sasha: She's saving herself for a certain someone.

Olivia sends her a glare; Sasha holds her hands up, chuckling. Olivia pulls up the information on the heist on the computer.

John: I read about that. This is the third truck to be hit this month.

Olivia slides a shirt down her body

Olivia: We saw it on the news this morning. Couldn't figure out why it seemed so familiar.

Oliver: Then I remembered this. Kandahar. 09 when the Marines took out a Taliban transport vehicle.

John: Well there's a reason why it looked so similar. These guys are running the same swarming technique. Where'd you find this?

Sasha: We were researching someone. Bodyguard who works for a private security firm.

She pulls up information on Ted Gaynor

Sasha: Blackhawk Squad protection group. His name is Ted Gaynor.

Sam's face falls as he stares at the screen in shock

Sam: Ted Gaynor was my commanding officer on my first tour in Afghanistan.

John: And I've heard a lot of good things about him. They say he was a damn good officer

Oliver: Sam, I'm sorry.

He holds up the journal

Oliver: Gaynor's on the list.

Sam takes the journal and looks at it seeing Ted Gaynor's name.

Sam: Ted's a few hundred thousand dollars short of making the list.

Olivia and Oliver picks up their bow and daggers. Sasha walks over to the table and picks up her swords.

Olivia: We never said it was just one percenters, did we?

Sam: This guy saved my life. Received a commendation for it. I don't care what the book says. He's not a stick up man.

Oliver: You've known him a long time, Sam

Sam: We both kept in contact with each other until you know what happened to me. Then got back in contact when I arrived in Starling. Even offered me a job at Blackhawk. You don't know the man like I do. I was a punk ass 18 year old kid who was pissed at the world but he saw something in me.

John: His training specialty was M-32 multiple grenade launchers, the exact same weapon used in these heists. Not exactly something that you find at your local sporting good store.

Sam: Two months ago, we found out this wasn't even Robert Queen's book, that it was written by whoever hired the other archer. Doesn't that kind of beg the question what else you could be wrong about?

Sasha: We could be wrong but the list isn't.

Oliver: We're gonna have a pointed talk with Mr. Gaynor tonight. We'll see what he says about it

Olivia: I understand if you want to take the week off, Sam.

Sam: Well thank you.

Sasha, Oliver, and Olivia walks away as John sighs looking at Sam worriedly.

John: I get it. You owe Ted Gaynor but what if they're right?

Sam sighs, placing his hands on the edge of the table, looking at the computer screen.

FLASHBACK-LIAN YU

Olivia is sitting underneath a tree; it's raining. She's holding a map.

Oliver approaches her handing her water.

Oliver: Do you even know how to read a map?

Olivia: I know how to read better then you. Dad used to take us camping, remember?

She nods her head at the bag that's strolled across Oliver's shoulder

Olivia: That from the guy I knocked out?

Oliver: Yeah.

He opens the bag showing her a mask inside

Olivia: All you got to do is put it in and go in there and see if Yao Fei's still alive. Easy peasy.

Oliver: I'll do that.

He pulls the mask out of the bag

Oliver: Just make sure you can get us there

Olivia: I'm smarter then you but yes General sir.

Oliver rolls his eyes.

BLACKHAWK-HALLWAY-NIGHT

Two men are talking with each other standing guard when two traq dart are shot into their necks, they fall.

Oliver/Arrow, Sasha/Spoiler, and Olivia/Red Angel walks past them heading down the hallway.

OFFICE

Ted is packing his case in his office. Arrow walks in kicking him in the stomach making him fall to his knees.

Red Angel and Spoiler walks in behind him.

Oliver: Ted Gaynor, we're gonna have a talk. You make a move, go for a gun, anything, things will end badly for you

The trio hears a gun cock and spins around aiming their bow, swords, and daggers at the person behind them.

Sam aims a gun at them

Sam: Put the weapons down.

Olivia, Olivia, and Sasha looks at him shocked and in disbelief, narrowing their eyes.

Olivia launches a dagger through the computer monitor making sparks shoot out; Sasha grabs the USB drive and the heroes runs out of the office.

Sam walks to the door looking down both halls then turns to Ted

Sam: It's all clear. You okay?

Ted stands up

Ted: Oh yeah. Well I gotta talk to my boss but after what I just saw, I'd say you're as good as hired.

Sam: Hell of an interview, Ted. Usually the vigilantes goes after rich assholes. Any reason they would change their MO to you?

Ted: You've known me a while, Sam. What do you think?

Sam looks at him for a long moment

Sam: They made a mistake. Got the wrong guy.

Ted: Now I think you owe me an explanation on where the hell you've been all this time.

Sam: That's a long story

Ted: Tell you what, I'll buy you a beer and you can tell me all about it.

Sam: Sounds like a plan.

BAR

Ted and Sam are inside an nearly empty dimly lit bar, both sitting at the bar with beer bottles in hand

Ted: I went to your funeral. Abby was heartbroken.

Sam: Yeah. I remember getting shot then blacking out, waking up strapped to a gurney in some kind of lab. One man hovering over me

Ted looks at him in confusion

Ted: One man?

Sam: Never saw his face though. Injected me with things I've never heard of. It hurt like hell

Ted: Damn, I'm sorry you went through that.

Sam: Ah. In the past. I broke out, went on the run, found my way to Gotham

Ted: Jesus. That place sucks.

Sam chuckles, taking a swig of his beer.

Sam: Thing happened, joined a organization, did horrible things, got out, found my way to Bludhaven and now I'm here.

Ted: Well at least you're alive. That's one thing

Sam: Yeah.

Ted: You gonna go to Central City, see your sister?

Sam: Someday. I still want to find out what happened to AJ.

Ted: Oh your brother? The one who went disappeared?

Sam: Yeah, me and Abby always talked about finding him and I really want to keep my promise.

They clink their bottles and drinks.

QUEEN INDUSTRIAL-BASEMENT

Oliver: I could've shot you. I could've killed you.

Olivia: What the hell were you thinking?

Sam: I'm not gonna let you William Tell an innocent man!

Oliver: Gaynor isn't innocent, Sam!

Sam: You seem to think that mainly because of what's in that book which you apparently trust more then anything.

Olivia: We trust our dad, Sam. And he explained to us that every name on that list has a reason to be there

John: Calm down, all of you! Now!

Oliver: For the past four months, we have lied to, hurt and hid things from all the people that we care about. Do you really think that we would do all of this if we weren't sure?

Sam: Listen, Ted got me into Blackhawk and that way I can prove he's innocent. That way, I can find the actual people responsible.

Sasha: That sounds like a good idea

John: He could be our inside man. That's smart.

Sam walks past them up to the table

Olivia: If he's the guilty one?

Sam picks up gun and cocks it

Sam: Then I'll take him down myself.

He walks away, leaving the basement. John and Sasha looks at Olivia and Oliver then sighs. Olivia and Oliver exchanges a look.

CNRI OFFICE

Olivia walks across the office approaching Laurel who's at her desk

Olivia: How's Johanna?

Laurel: Not good. She took some time to be with her family and clear her head.

Olivia: So Tommy told you reached out to the vigilantes for help

Laurel: He told you?

Olivia nods her head

Olivia: That could have been dangerous, darling.

Laurel tilts her head looking at her curiously

Laurel: Are you okay? Is something wrong?

Olivia: Not worried. Malcolm called Tommy.

Laurel: Oh. Did he tell how it went?

Olivia: He wants to have dinner with you two tonight.

Laurel: Oh.

Olivia: Because of him, Tommy can't afford anything so Malcolm's up to something.

Laurel: There's only one way to find out. Maybe he really is trying to extend an olive branch.

Olivia smiles

Olivia: You really do look for the best in people, don't you?

Laurel smiles, brushing her hand slowly up her arm

Laurel: Lucky for you, darling

They chuckle together while smiling brightly at each other. Laurel turns and walks away while Olivia watches her go.

QUEEN CONSOLIDATED-NIGHT

Moira is standing at the windows. Malcolm walks up towards her

Malcolm: I'm sorry to pull away from your family like this

Moira: What do you want, Malcolm?

Malcolm: We have a problem with your friend Carl Ballard.

He hands her a file

Macolm: He's trying to gentrify the Glades.

Moira looks through the file

Moira: Carl knows that's not part of the plan

Malcolm: Which is why you're gonna shut him down. You're his friend. He'll listen to you.

Moira: If you want me to help you with Carl, I want something in return.

She hands the file back to him

Moira: Proof that Walter's alive

Malcolm: My word's not good enough?

Moira: What's that saying? Truth but verify?

Malcolm pats her on the shoulder

Malcolm: Words to live by.

He walks away, leaving.

HALLWAY

Sasha decked out in her Spoiler outfit is hanging above the floor with her legs placed on the wall, a confused look on her face.

BIG BELLY BURGER

Sam and Ted are sitting at a table drinking coffee

Ted: Two days later, I am still digging regurgitated tacos out of the car vents and he asks me why I won't turn on the ac.

Sam: All right, you win. Working with Bruce was never that bad.

Ted: Six years serving my country, the only thing I'm qualified is babysitting spoiled brats.

Sam: Well, Ted, they're not all like that

Ted: I haven't met one yet that would survive one day in country.. Sometimes, it makes me wonder what I was doing over ther

Carly walks up and places plates on the table

Carly: Specialty of the house.

Sam: Thanks, Carly.

Carly smiles and walks away.

Ted: I think she likes you

Sam: That's John's sister in law

Ted: Not anymore. John's brother's gone but you are here. Unless you're still hung up on that girl you told me about. What was her name again?

Sam: Talia and that's complicated. Really complicated.

A man walks up to the table

Man: Car's waiting outside. Got a client to drop off at the Charkin art galley opening

Ted: Sam, you remember Paul Knox. He was a couple of ranks under us back in the Stan.

Sam nods his head

Paul: Good to be working with you.

He holds his hand out and Sam shakes his hand

Paul: I'll be outside

He walks away, leaving the diner

Sam: I didn't know Knox worked at Blackhawk.

Ted: They recruited him when his tour ended last month.

Sam takes a drink of his coffee

Sam: Mm-hmm.

Ted: People change, Sam and everyone deserves a chance to prove

He slides his plate across the table then stands up and walks out of the diner. Sam watches him go then sighs.

QUEEN MANSION

Olivia and Oliver are sitting on the couch when Sasha walks into the room

Sasha: I need to talk to you. Remember when I thought mom was acting weird?

Olivia and Oliver: Yeah

Sasha: I know why. She's hooking up with Tommy's dad.

Oliver and Olivia laughs.

Olivia: That's insane.

Sasha: I saw them together. It's happening all over again

Oliver: What are you talking about?

Sasha: A couple of months before you and dad left on the Gambit, her and dad were fighting a lot

Olivia: What about?

Sasha: I don't know. But she was having a lot of these......lunch meetings with Mr. Merlyn and now Walter's gone, and they're back at it. It's gross.

Oliver: Mom never would have cheated on Dad and she's not cheating on Walter.

Sasha: You don't want to believe it because you have this perfect image of mom in your head. That's not who she is. She's a liar and a cheater. You really don't know her at all.

She turns and leaves the room in a huff.

Olivia and Oliver looks down and sighs.

MOIRA'S ROOM

Olivia, Oliver, and Moira walks into the room

Moira: She thinks Malcolm and I are having an affair?

Olivia: And that it started back when Dad was still  alive.

Moira: Why would she think that?

Oliver: She says you and Dad were fighting.

Moira sighs, looking away

Oliver: Mom......

Moira: It's none of your concern, sweethearts.

Olivia: Sas made it our concern, mom. What's going on?

Moira: Robert was unfaithful to me repeatedly. It made our marriage difficult to say the least.

Oliver folds his arms over his chest

Moira: I'm sorry but your father wasn't always the man you thought he was. I know you thought he walked on water but you see, that's how I wanted you to remember him. As a good man who loved you. That's how I want Thea and Sasha to remember him. So promise me you'll keep it a secret.

Olivia: Of course

Oliver: Yeah, sure thing.

Moira rubs their arms

Olivia: Mom?

Moira: Yes?

Olivia: Why would Sas think that you and Mr. Merlyn are still sneaking around?

Moira: I can't imagine

Oliver: Have you seen him lately?

Moira: He's been the CEO of Merlyn Global Group for years. I've been running Queen Consolidated merely days. Yes, I occasionally go and ask for advice.

The twins nods their heads

Moira: Is this interrogation over?

They nod their heads. Moira walks out of the room, leaving.

QUEEN INDUSTRIAL-BASEMENT

Sasha plugs in the USB drive into the computer. A Blackhawk logo appears on the screen

Sasha: You wanna give it a go?

Sam and John are standing behind her.

Sam: Considering I hate this but I might be able to hack it.

He walks closer

Sam: I'm good but if I can't do it and you can't

John: What do you suggest?

Sasha: Felicity Smoak. She'll be really happy if Ollie's the one who asks her.

Sam nods his head, smirking

Sam: Call Oliver

QUEEN CONSOLIDATED-IT DEPARTMENT

Felicity is sitting at her desk; Oliver walks in. She looks up placing her food down

Felicity: And here I thought my days of being Oliver Queen's personal computer geek were coming to an end. .

Oliver: Is that your way of saying you missed me, darling?

Felicity: N-no. But if it works, go with it

Oliver chuckles

Oliver: So I got something for you.

He takes out the USB drive out of his jacket pocket

Felicity: I would have liked red wine better for a present.

Oliver smiles as she takes the drive.

Felicity: Hmm. Security fob.

She plugs it into her computer coming up on the same Blackhawk page.

Felicity: It's pin protected. Challenge response goes back to a company called Blackhawk Squad Protection Group. What is this for?

Oliver: That's classified.

Felicity looks up, giving him a look, smiling.

Felicity: You did not say that to me.

Oliver: Afraid I did

Felicity begins typing away at the keyboard.

Felicity: This is military grade cryptographic security protocol.

Olivia: You get through it and I'll buy you a case of red wine, darling

Felicity smiles, lightly blushing as she goes back looking at the screen.

BLACKHAWK-GARAGE

Ted and Sam are walking through a garage.

Ted: Management keep things running smooth, which is nice.

Sam: Better then going to war with the army you got, right?

Ted: Indeed. Indeed.

Sam: So Ted, are you the reason Knox is working for Blackhawk?

Ted: Look, I know you don't like the guy. I wasn't his biggest fan either but jobs are head to come by for everybody these days. And guys like us, when all anyone thinks you're qualified for is shooting at people. If I hadn't gotten Knox the job, chances are he'd be knocking over liquor stores or robbing banks.

He walks away leaving Sam to think about what he said.

QUEEN INDUSTRIAL-BASEMENT

Oliver walks down into the basement when his phone rings, he answers it

Oliver: What did you get, darling?

Felicity: Well, once I got past Blackhawk's authentication system. I think you stumbled into something or got me into something, something illegal.

Oliver: Define illegal?

Olivia and Sasha looks up from the table.

Felicity: Oh you know, robbing an armored car with grenade launchers and tear gas

Olivia: What?

Felicity: Someone at Blackhawk was using their system to store detailed routes and schedules for each of  the city's major armored car carriers. Including the three that have already been hit.

Olivia and Sasha walks towards their suits and weapons

Felicity: I think we should provide this to the police. With it, they should be able to predict the next heist.

Oliver: Felicity do me a favor. Forward that on to me and I'll get it to the police. Thank you

Felicity: Also I found something else. Unrelated to the heists

Oliver: What else did you find out?

Olivia and Sasha stops what they're doing and looks over to him

Felicity: A file. A pretty big one. Labeled "Saber"

Oliver frowns in confusion

Oliver: Saber? What's that?

Felicity: I got curious and took a peek. Saber isn't a thing, it's a who and judging from the file, he's a pretty bad guy.

Olivier: Email what you found.

Felicity: Yeah sure.

Oliver hangs up

Olivia: What the hell is Saber?

Oliver: I don't know but Felicity's supposed to email the file.

Sasha walks over to the table, opening the computer and clicks on the email Felicity sent. She scrolls down the file.

Sasha: Whoa. Whoever this Saber is, he's bad news.

Oliver: What's it say?

Sasha: He's wanted in several cities and at least a couple counties. Murder for hire.

Olivia points to something on the screen

Olivia: Click on that. Looks like there's an actual picture of them

Sasha clicks on the picture and on the screen, a image of a man in a black outfit, a black mask covering the lower half of his face and long light blonde hair.

Oliver: That's him?

Sasha: What it says in the file. According to this, it's the only image of him.

She zooms on the double sword sheathed over his back and the bow in his hand.

Olivia: Looks like he knows how to fight

Oliver: Yeah but so do we.

ROAD

An armored truck drives down the road. A van pulls up behind it. A man in riot gear stands in front of the armored truck.

More men gets out of the van holding guns.

Olivia/Red Angel punches the first man in the face making his mask fall off

The men begins to shoot. Sasha/Spoiler raises her swords swirling them around deflecting the bullets then ducking behind a car.

Olivia throws a dagger into a man's shoulder making him fall. Another man goes to shoot her but she leaps over a car out of the way of the bullets.

The armored car drives away.

Sasha picks up a trash can lid and uses it as a shield blocking the bullets.

A man shoots a device, exploding gas throwing her backward where she hits the ground hard.

Man: Quick, quick, come on. Come on.

Olivia runs towards Sasha who's coughing and gasping, the gas clouding her vision. Olivia helps her up to her feet as they watch the van speed away down the road.

QUEEN MANSION

Olivia and Sasha walks into the mansion looking around at all the people attending Thea's birthday party.

Thea sees them and smiles, walking closer

Thea: Sisters, you made it.

Olivia: Did you think we would miss your 18th birthday?

Sasha: Happy birthday, Thea.

They smile and embraces each other

Thea: Isn't everything perfect? Except for if Dad was here......

Olivia: I know, Thea. I'm sorry If he was here, he's say you looked amazing.

Thea smiles a small smile.

Thea: Oh, um, excuse me

She walks away. Olivia and Sasha sees Olivia, John, and Sam standing to the side of the party talking.

Oliver: You've never heard of someone named Saber?

Sam: I've only heard rumors. He showed up only a couple years ago. Never had the pleasure of seeing him face to face but I could reach out to some people I know. See if they know anything.

Olivia and Sasha walks up to them

John: I heard the girl in red and girl in purple stopped an armored car heist this evening.

Olivia: Gaynor wasn't running the grenade launcher

Sam: I know. I was with him the whole time it was going down.

Sasha: Looks like you were right.

Sam: If someone at Blackhawk is involved, I'd put my money on Paul Knox. He started right before the heists began and he has military training.

Oliver: Okay.

He looks at his sisters

Oliver: What happened?

Olivia: I hurt one of them. A dagger in the shoulder. He was bleeding pretty bad when they took off.

John: So if any of Knox's blood is one of the motor pool vans, we'll know for sure.

Sam: I'll head over there

Oliver: I'll go with you

Sam: No, no, no, listen. You got this party. You guys and John can stay here. Me and Liv can handle this.

Sasha: Hey, head on a swivel.

Sam: That's the way I was born.

Sam, and Olivia walks away, leaving the room and heads towards the door.

Thea is dancing to the music, spinning around making her hair twirl letting it fall over her head, tossing it back and runs her hands through it.

BLACKHAWK-GARAGE

Sam/Red Hood and Olivia/Red Angel walks into the garage. They spot the van and approaches it, Sam opens the back seeing blood stains on the floor.

Olivia peels off the Blackhawk logo off the side of the van. They hear a gun cock, taking cover behind the door seeing Knox aiming a gun at a hooded figure.

Knox: I had a feeling you'd show up so I took precautions.

Red Hood: Why is that, Knox?

Knox: Right after Gaynor got that douche hired, someone hacked into our system. First person to ever make it through our firewall. You want to tell me how you did it?

Red Hood: I'm not really sure.

Knox: He didn't think you'd be very cooperative.

Red Hood: Who?

The lights suddenly comes on. Ted walks out from behind one of the vans and pulls the hood off the figure's head revealing a teary eyed and scared Abby Carter

Ted: Hello Abby

Sam/Red Hood's eyes widens in horror and shock at seeing his sister. He clenches his hands into fists glaring at Ted.

Abby: T-Ted? Wh---what are you doing?

Ted smirks motioning towards Red Hood, Abby follows his gaze, tilting her head in confusion

Ted: You see the infamous Red Hood?

Abby nervously nods her head

Ted: Well, it happens to be that he knew your big brother Sammy.

Abby gasps in shock, Sam looks away.

STARLING CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT

Lance is sitting at his desk working when someone walks up to his desk

Lance: Yeah?

He looks up seeing two men standing beside his desk; Marcus Tanner and Joe West

Joe: Detective Quention Lance?

Lance: That's what it says on my underwear.

Joe: I'm Detective Joe West. Detective Marcus Tanner. Central City Police Department

Lance leans back in his chair

Lance: You're a long way from home then, detectives. What can I do for you?

Marcus holds out a picture to him. Lance takes it looking down seeing a picture of Paul Knox.

Marcus: He's a main suspect in the kidnapping of my daughter, Abby Carter.

Joe: His name is Paul Knox and we know he lives in Starling City. We were hoping you would lend a helping hand

Lance: Don't have to ask me twice. I'm a father myself. Let's find the son of a bitch.

He stands up and the three detectives walks away, leaving.

BLACKHAWK

Knox is still holding Abby at gunpoint, she has tears running down her cheeks

Red Hood: You're a part of this?

Ted: No, not part of. My men, my mission.

Red Hood: Mission? This isn't Afghanistan.

Ted: Oh don't I know it. Over there, we were trusted with millions of dollars in weapons and personnel. We were conquerors. Now we're nannies with tasers.

Abby: So that gives you the right to steal, to kill innocent people?

Ted: I'm not gonna convince you I'm right. I'm gonna convince Mr. Red Hood to join the team.

Red: Yeah, now I know you're crazy.

Ted: Earlier tonight was supposed to be our last score but because of the sword and dagger girls, we struck out. Now we're down a man. Good thing you're qualified to take his place, Mr. Hood.  

Red Hood: Ted, I think your convincing is gonna have to be a lot more convincing.

Ted: Copy that.

Knox presses the gun deeper into Abby's head. She whimpers in fear.

Red Hood: No! Wait, wait, wait! Don't! Don't!

Ted: You both can die tonight or once we do this, we're on a plane and she can go back home to Central City. It's your call.

Red Hood: You're forgetting one thing

Ted: What's that?

Red Hood: You're not the only one who brought back up

Olivia leaps out of her hiding spot and throws a dagger into Cavanaugh's hand making him drop his gun and lets Abby go

Red Hood grabs her arm pulling her away.

Red Hood: Get out of here!

Ted raises his gun and goes to shoot Olivia but she rolls out of the way.

Knox goes to shoot Sam but Olivia launches a dagger into the side of the gun making him drop it.

Sam round house kicks Ted in the side of the head knocking him down

Knox takes out two small staffs and swings at Olivia. She uses a dagger to block the move. He goes to hit her again but she raises another dagger to block the move.

He swings the staffs towards her but she ducks punching him twice in the face then round house kicks him in the head, she grabs him in a choke hold and slams him into the side of a van knocking him out.

Ted picks up a gun and raises it to shoot Red Hood but Sam kicks the gun out of his hand and grabs Ted shoving up against the side of the wall glaring at him

Red Hood: You son of a bitch! I should kill you here and now

He backs away and raises a gun pointing it at his forehead, cocking it. He clenches his jaw and kicks his legs out from under him then punches him in the face knocking him out.

He holsters the gun and walks away.

Olivia: Where's your sister?

Sam: Outside.

Olivia: She okay?

Sam: I should take her to the station.

Olivia nods her head

They hear police sirens approaching

Sam: We should get out of here.

Olivia: Be careful

Sam nods his head and walks away. Olivia turns and runs away.

OUTSIDE

Marcus and Joe quickly gets out of the car and runs towards Abby who's pacing back and forth

Joe: Abby!

Marcus: Abby!

They quickly takes her in her arms hugging her tightly, Abby sobs in their arms. They pull away

Marcus: You okay, Kid?

Abby nods her head

Joe and Marcus looks behind her, seeing Red Hood slowly making his way towards them. They and Lance goes for their guns but Red Hood holds his hands up

Red Hood: The men you're looking for, the ones responsible for the armored car heists are inside, Detective Lance.

Lance: Yeah whatever

He lowers his gun and walks past him as he and other cops heads inside.

Joe: I don't like you but thank you for saving her

Marcus: Thank you whoever you are

Red Hood tilts his head to side staring at both Marcus and Abby for a long moment before he takes out his grappling hook shooting it into the side of building and repels away through the skyline

Joe: Oh man, Bar's gonna be so jealous

Marcus: El's gonna be more jealous

The three chuckles.

STARLING CITY HOSPITAL

Thea is lying in bed. Olivia, Moira, and Sasha walks inside

Oliver: Oh Thea

Sasha: Are you okay?

Thea: Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just headachy, really. The car. Is---is it---

Moira: The car's not important right now. But that is the last time you're driving one.

Thea sighs and nods her head

Moira: Do you remember what happened?

Thea: You go away

Moira: Thea, please

Teha: I said I'm fine

Oliver and Sasha sighs exchanging a look with each other.

QUEEN INDUSTRIAL-BASEMENT

Olivia is sitting at one of the tables; Sam walks down the stairs

Olivia: Your sister get back okay?

Sam: Yeah, Joe West and Marc was already in the city looking for her. Ted confessed to everything the second the cuffs were slapped on. Marc even punched him right in the jaw.

He sighs

Sam: I fucked up. Ted wasn't who I thought he was.

Olivia: Yeah but......you were right too. When you told me and Ollie that we trusted the list more then we trusted you. The truth is, after what happened to us on the island......it's hard for us to trust.....anything.

Sam: Yeah I get that.

Olivia: But you do. It's because you and John were chosen as our partners. It's because you do. Sas's trust issues are just as bad as mine and Ollie's. She just has a healthier way of dealing with them. She pulls us back from the edge. That's how we do this and it would help me a lot.....if you could do the same for me

Sam nods his head

Sam: Yeah.

Olivia smiles a small smile looking at the journal in her hand, handing it to him. He takes it and looks at Ted's name. Olivia hands him a pen and he crosses Ted's name off the list.

Sam: I never want to know the names in this book until you tell me

Olivia nods her head taking back the book and places it down on the table.

STARLING CITY HOSPITAL

Olivia, Olivia, Thea, and Sasha walks out of the roo.

Oliver: She promised she's not cheating on Walter

Thea: Like I would trust anything she says.

A cop walks up to them

Cop: Thea Queen?

Thea turns around to face the cop

Sasha: Is there a problem?

Cop: We received a call from your doctor. In the event of a vehicular accident, they're required to report the result of the driver's tox screen.

Thea sighs

Cop: Thea tested positive for a narcotic called Vertigo.

Olivia, Olivia and Sasha looks at Thea in shock.

Olivia: The drug they're using in the Glades?

The cop grabs Thea's hands and handcuffs her wrists behind her back

Cop: Thea Queen, you're under arrest for driving under the influence of narcotics.

Olivia, Oliver and Sasha looks away in pain and shock.

ROOFTOP

Red Hood is standing on top of a rooftop over looking the skyline of the city. Someone appears behind him and he turns around seeing Sara Lance

He unclips his helmet lifting it over his head

Sara: Why'd you call me, Sam?

Sam: Saber.

Sara's eyes widens in shock hearing that name

Sara: What about him?

Sam: I want to know one thing.

Sara: What?

Sam: Was Saber a member of the League?

Sara closes her eyes briefly and sighs, slowly nodding her head

Sara: Yeah. Yeah he was. He was called Al Ruh Muharib

Sam: Soulless Warrior

Sara nods her head

Sara: Sam, there's something else you need to know.

Sam looks at her in confusion

Sara: It's Austin.

Sam: What about AJ?

Sara: He's Saber. He's Al Ruh Muharib.

Sam's eyes widens in horror as he stumbles backward, tears slightly forming his eyes

Sam: N-no.
