BERTINELLI HOUSE-HELENA'S ROOM

Helena and Sam are laying in bed, naked. Helena rests her head on his back. She opens her eyes and gets out of bed.

Sam turns his head, burying his head into the pillow.

ALLEY-NIGHT

Helena pulls up on her bike as several men gets out of cars down the alley.

China White leads Zhisan towards the car. Sam/Red Hood flies off the building and jumps down in her way, smacking the gun out of Helena's hand

China: Get inside. Kill him

The men begins firing towards them. Sam launches a knife through the air embedding it in the hood of the car.

He grabs Helena and pulls her behind cover. The Triad gets in the cars and drives away.

Helena pushes Sam away

Helena: Take your hands off me!

Sam: What the hell do you think you're doing?

Helena: That man was the leader of the Triad. My father blames them for the recent hits against his men

Sam: These are the men you killed

Helena: That's right. I take out Zhishan and the Triad retaliates. I have weakened my father's organization to the point where there is no way he can survive the onslaught.

Sam: What,  then you'll have your revenge?

Helena: Then I'll have justice for what he did to Michael and me

Sam: It's not justice

Helena: And what you do is?

Sam: Would you let me show you?

Helena: Fine.

BIG BELLY BURGER

Sam and Helena are sitting at a table

Carly: Anything else I can get you?

Sam: No thank you

Carly: You're friends with Oliver and Olivia Queen, aren't you?

Sam: John Diggle too.

Carly smiles and walks away, leaving

Sam: I haven't been on a second date in a while. Feels good so far.

Helena: Look, um, we slept together and it was......really nice and I needed it but, um, I'm---I'm not looking for anything.

Sam: Right, because you got everything figured out.

Helena: I don't think you're one to judge. I've heard Bludhaven is worse then this shithole.

Sam: It's getting better and I only kill when I don't have any other choice.

Helena: But your friends in the hoods and the one in purple does.

Sam: They only kill when there's no choice. It's not their opening move and the way you're doing, you're going to get someone hurt or worse. Like Moira Queen.

Helena: I'm sorry about Moira Queen. That was an accident.

Sam: How many more accidents have to happen before you're done getting back at your father, Helena?

Helena: Hopefully none. I am not getting back at him. I am stripping away everything that has meaning to him just like he did to me when he had Michael killed

Sam: What if I could show you another way, a way you could take down your father's organization without putting innocent people at risk?

Helena: Thank you or the coffee. And the sex, but I'm not interested.

She stands up and walks away. Sam sighs, running his hand through his hair.

DAY-QUEEN INDUSTIAL-BASEMENT

Sam is shirtless, doing handstand pushups. Oliver, Olivia,  Sasha, and Diggle are watching.

Sasha: Blowing off steam, Sam?

Oliver: I don't know when the next Olympics are but you might want to sign yourself up. You're definitely get the gold.

Diggle: Did Oliver Queen just make a funny?

Olivia: I think he just did

Oliver rolls his eyes

Oliver: I know how to be funny.

John: You want to talk about last night.

Olivia: Because the last time we spoke, we were on the verge of stopping Helena Bertinelli from her one woman war against the Mafia.

John: Nick Salvati, Frank Bertinelli's right hand was found with his head bashed in and a few of his thugs knocked out or shot. Who did that?

Sam flips his legs down and stands up and walks towards the salmon ladder

Sam: Tried to talk her down and she----

Oliver: She got away or you let her walk away?

Sam: I thought I could talk to her, get her to see the way we do things

John: This woman is a killer. She's been dropping bodies all over the city.

Sam: Three years ago, she was gonna turn her father into the FBI. She put everything she had on him on a laptop. Her father found it, thought it belonged to her fiancé and had him murdered.

He hoists himself up on the ladder

Sam: She's lost and whether she knows it or not, we can save her. Stop her from doing anything reckless but only if you think that's the right call.

Sasha: That's just it, Sam. You can't save her, okay? Some people don't change and if Bertinelli retaliates or is perceived to the Triad, it's gonna rain down hell.

Olivia: Some people don't change.

Sam leaps down and turns to face them

Sam: I did. You can. You changed. You killed. Last night, I saw you hesitate and you didn't kill that guy, Sas. You had the chance to snap his neck and you didn't. I can help her

John: Maybe you think you're more persuasive then you are or maybe she thinks she's fine with her path of righteous fiery but whatever it is, either way, all of this, ends badly

Olivia: Oh my God, you like her, don't you?

Sam: What? No--No---no, I don't

Sasha: You totally like her?

Sam rolls his eyes

Sam: Either way, I gotta try.

He turns around and walks away, leaving.

Olivia, Oliver, Sasha, and John watches him go and sighs.

BERTINELLI HOUSE

Frank opens the door and lets Sam inside

Sam: Frank. Sorry to drop by like this

Frank: No, no, no, come on in. It's all right.

Sam walks inside the house seeing Helena on the staircase.

Frank: Look I know we've been working on that contraction bid and I'm sorry for my dropping the ball. We've had a death in the family

Sam: I'm sorry to hear that. I know what it's like to lose family

Frank: Thank you

Sam: Anyway I'm not here to talk business.

He holds up Helena's cross necklace.

Sam: Helena dropped this last night at dinner

Frank: Oh thank you for bringing it back

He looks at Helena

Frank: Excuse me, sweetie. A father know when he's not needed

He walks out of the room. Sam walks towards Helena

Helena: Was I not clear that I wasn't interested in talking?

Sam: You don't have to talk

He opens the door. Helena grabs her jacket and walks out

Sam follows her closing the door behind him.

GRAVEYARD

Sam and Helena are walking through the graveyard. He stops and points at three tombstones

Helena: Is that your family?

Sam: Yeah. There's only two bodies there. A group of men broke into our house and murdered my parents. My dad made me take my brother and sister and run as fast as I could. They found us hiding in an alley down the street. We was sent to group home in Central City and a few years later when AJ was 15, he disappeared. Never found him. Marcus Tanner took me and Abby in. Then I got shot, experimented on, became a superhero, got beat to death by a psychotic clown and that's just part of my story. My sister Abby doesn't even know I'm alive and not being able to tell her kills me but her not knowing keeps her safe. I don't let anyone in because I can't be hurt and right now you're on your own island, if you don't get off, people are going to die. Innocent people will get caught in the war you're trying to start. What happens next is up to you. We can help you or we can take you down. It's your choice.

QUEEN INDUSTIAL-BASEMENT

Sam begins Helena down into the basement. She's trying to throw knives into a target but misses each time.

Helena: This is a waste of time

Sam: I'm trying to teach you something. I got way more experience.

Helena: What, the least effective way to hurt people?

Sam: No. Control. Throwing knives, shooting arrows and swords isn't as easy as it seems to be as you know now. I'm trying to teach you the same way the man taught me or at least he tried to.

He picks up a dagger and throws it into the bulls eyes, the blade goes right through the board until the hilt reaches it.

Helena walks over to the table, sitting down and picks up a cup throwing it up. Sam throws another knife into it making it fall to the floor. Helena picks up a toy and tosses it up, Sam throws another knife through it wedging it through the wall.

Helena smirks, throwing a tennis ball as Sam throws a knife through it while it's in the palm of her hand.

Sam: I can do this all day. It's fun

Oliver and Olivia walks down into the basement

Oliver: Yeah, Sam's got more stamina then both of us combined.

Sam: Oliver and Olivia Queen, Helena.

Oliver walks closer

Sam: Be nice

Oliver: Who, me?

Olivia: Look, you made another funny

Oliver: Ha, ha, ha! Bite me.

Sasha walks down into the basement

Sam: Also meet Sasha.

Sasha tilts her head looking Helena up and down before scoffing

Sam: They're my, uh..........associates.

Helena: Well, any associates of Sam's are----

Sasha: Absolutely nothing to you

Helena: I'll leave you to your three "associates"

She walks out of the basement

Olivia: You trust her?

Sam: If I did, I would've told her who you were. But that's my secret to tell. That's yours and no, that's also not my secret to tell so stop pestering me about it, Sas

Oliver and Olivia looks confused

Oliver: Look, I get that you didn't get the chance to even tell who you were because she figured it out when she saw you fight in the warehouse. And I appreciate that you didn't tell her who we are but Sam, what we do is dangerous. And getting confused because you like her is going to get you dead.

Sam: Been dead before, didn't take and you done?

Oliver: Yeah I'm done. With this

Olivia sighs

Olivia: We're going after Anthony Venza tonight. He works for Frank Bertinelli and he sells illegal prescription pills along with a lot more drugs. He's on our dad's list and no doubt on Helena's. Now I know that you can't resist helping so you either help Helena get innocent people caught in the crossfire or you can help us make sure they stay safe

Sam: As if you had to ask.

WAREHOUSE-NIGHT

Anthony Venza and his men are making the illegal pills and drugs.

Anthony: This isn't crack. Anyone can sell crack. All you need's a street corner and a hoodie. This is pharmaceutical grade oxycodone. It is caviar. It is champagne. And you sell this with fancy houses, at parties with rich kids that got money to burn.

A dagger is thrown into the power panel making the lights go out.

A man holding a gun walks up the steps to one side of the balcony. They hear fighting.

Anthany picks up the gun

Anthony: Whoever you are, you really think you're gonna get out of here in one piece?

Sasha/Spoiler, Olivia/Red Angel, Oliver/Arrow, and Sam/Red Hood are standing on the balcony above the warehouse

Oliver: I was thinking the same thing.

He aims his bow and arrow

Oliver: Anthony Venza......

Olivia: You have failed this city

Oliver shoots a arrow into a table making it shower with sparks.

Sasha and Olivia leaps down from the balcony. A man runs towards Sasha going to punch her but she catches his hand and elbows him in the face then spins around to kick another man making them all fall

Sam uses his baton to punch a man in the stomach and leaps up, using his feet to propel himself up and over, kicking the man in the chin making him fall. Sam lands down gracefully on his feet

Oliver uses his bow to hit a man in the stomach then turns to kick another man in the head sending him off the balcony onto the table.

Olivia catches a man's leg and kicks it hard enough making him flip through the air.

Anthony runs towards the door. Olivia raises one of her daggers and aims it towards him

Anthony: Please don't hurt me.

Olivia: Aw. How about just a little?

OUTSIDE

Sasha, Olivia, Sam, and Oliver are outside hiding, watching the cops take the men and drugs away

Sam: Millions of dollars worth of illegal drugs confiscated, one hell of a blow to Frank's criminal operation and nobody had to die. This is all I've ever wanted to show her.

Oliver: Now you want it for Helena?

Olivia: You think that she'll go for it?

Sam: There's only one way to find out but I doubt she'll go for it.

QUEEN INDUSTIAL-BASEMENT

Sam is in the hideout, grabbing his jacket and walks towards the exit. Olivia walks towards him

Olivia: Hey where you headed?

Sam: To see if I can find Helena and stop her from making a mistake

Olivia: I think you can have the rest of the night off. I may have found out that Helena is under guard at her home with her father. And you've said it yourself, she doesn't want to hurt him. She wants to take everything away from him

Sam: What are you up to?

Olivia: Tommy asked me to come meet him and Laurel at this restaurant that is crazy expensive and the lines are always long. He would take care of it himself but his douchebag father Malcolm Merlyn froze all his assets so he can't do anything that he used to do

Sam: Oh.

Olivia: I was hoping you would come with me so it wouldn't be awkward between the three of us

Sam: Meaning awkward with your best friend dating the girl you got feelings for

Olivia: W-what? I don't have feelings for Laurel.

Sam raises his eyebrow sending her a look and chuckles.

Olivia: So what do you say?

Sam: Yeah sure, I could eat. Let's go. 

They leave the basement

QUEEN MANSION-SASHA'S ROOM

Sasha is in her workout clothes hitting the punching dummy over and over again. She's panting heavily until she walks over to a table and looks down at a photo of her and Sara Lance, both smiling. Tears are in Sasha's eyes.

TABLE SALT

There's loud music playing through out the restaurant. Tommy and Laurel are standing in line.

Tommy: Well it's only been 30 minutes. That's not too bad for an opening.

Laurel: If they don't seat us soon, I'm going to write a terrible review online

Tommy: Let me see what I can do.

He walks towards the hostess

Tommy: Hey. I'm loving the Cavalli. Look, I'm Tommy Merlyn. Is there any way that we can go to the head of the class?

Hostess: Is there?

Tommy reaches for his credit card but stops and sighs

Tommy: Let us know when our table's ready.

The hostess nods. Tommy walks back towards Laurel

Tommy: Maybe you can eat some of those fancy peanuts from behind the bar

Olivia and Sam walks in

Olivia: Hi, it's the two of you

Laurel: And you're with a man. I didn't expect to see you here, Liv

She looks between both Olivia and Sam, slightly jealous. Sam hides a amused smile

Olivia: It was kind of last minute. This is Sam, he's a friend of ours.

Laurel: You look so pretty

Olivia: Thank you. Likewise

Laurel smiles. Tommy and Sam chuckles

Hostess: Ms. Queen, your table is ready.

Laurel: When is our table gonna be ready?

Hostess: When it is

Sam: Why don't you join us?

Laurel: We'd love to

Tommy: That'll be great. That sounds great.

The hostess leads them away. Laurel continues looking between Sam and Olivia, jealous.

LATER

Sam, Olivia, Tommy, and Laurel are sitting at the table.

Olivia: I had forgotten that you filled your parents pool with beer. How many cases did that take?

Tommy: About a thousand or so.

Laurel and Sam chuckles

Olivia: You know, your dad was so pissed. I thought he was actually going to drown you in it

Tommy: Yeah, well, death by beer? There's worse ways to go.

He looks at Sam

Tommy: I'm sure you'd agree with me, Sam?

Sam: Oh I didn't have the privilege of college. Joined the Military right out of high school.

Laurel: What branch did you serve in?

Sam: Marines.

Tommy takes a drink

Laurel: So how's the nightclub coming along?

Olivia: Slower then we expected. We've, uh, we've been busy

Laurel: Then you and Ollie must be happy to have the extra help then

She looks between Olivia and Sam

Laurel: I think it's so great you're deciding to help them with the night club

Sam: I don't have a lot to do and it's not a issue.

Laurel nods her head

Laurel: And what about the help of Tommy?

Olivia: What do you mean?

Tommy: Laurel, I'm sure Liv doesn't want to talk about work now

Laurel: You didn't ask her?

Olivia: Ask me what?

Laurel: Tommy wanted----Tommy said that he was gonna talk to you and Ollie about working for you at your night club

Olivia: Tommy, you working for us? That could be so fun

Tommy: I don't like this. I don't like the look in her eye. I'm gonna step outside

He stands up and walks away

Laurel: I should probably go check on him

She stands up and walks away

Sam: Well that's been so so fun

Olivia and Sam laughs.

Sam: Go talk to her already. You know you want to

Olivia sighs nodding her head and stands up, walking away. Sam chuckles as he takes a drink.

ELSEWHERE

Olivia walks down the sidewalk seeing Laurel standing alone looking sad

Olivia: Tommy left?

Laurel turns around to look at her

Laurel: He was supposed to ask you and Oliver.

Olivia: Well he didn't

Laurel: I was only trying to help

Olivia: It's typical Laurel

Laurel: What's that supposed to mean?

Olivia(smiles): Always wanting to the white knight. Tommy doesn't want to be a charity case. You know how he is. He's the most stubborn person I know. Besides you

Laurel chuckles, smiling as Olivia smiles back.

Olivia: You want a ride home?

Laurel: No but thanks through. See you later

She leans forward giving her a peck on the cheek then walks away, leaving. Olivia watches her go and sighs in realization

Olivia: Ah crap. I hate it when Sam's right.

QUEEN INDUSTIAL-BASEMENT

Sam is putting his suit on. Oliver, Olivia, and Sasha watches nearby also putting their suits on.

John walks down into the basement.

John: Didn't expect you to come back here tonight.

Sam: I think you're right.

Oliver: Which part?

Sam: All of it. I should've listened to you.

Sasha: What made you change your mind?

Sam: It was Liv bringing me to dinner with Tommy and Laurel, seeing them, seeing how light they were before things got so heavy. Seeing how you wanted me to see

John: Well they are manipulative billionaires.

Sam gives him and Sasha both a look

Sam: I know you two were in on it.

Sasha and John smirks.

Olivia: Sam, you said you wanted her to change. The thing is, she's already changed. When her dad killed her fiancé, she changed into something dark and twisted. You see that now, don't you? You see there's nothing bringing her back.

Sam: It's not that-----It's not that I couldn't see it. I didn't want to. I just wanted to help her because for the longest time, no one was there to help me.

John: But you can't stop her from going over the edge. She's already well past it.

Sasha: I get why you want to help her. I do but not everyone wants to be helped. Not everyone can be saved. She doesn't want to so let's stop her

Sam sighs and nods his head

Sam: Let's stop her.

WAREHOUSE

The Triad are around a table playing poker when a phone rings. A man answers it

Man: Hello?

Another's man voice is on the other line

Get out of there!

Helena/Huntress kicks in the door and walks in, raising her gun and shoots the man and another man making them fall backwards dead. Man 3 stands and tries to punch her but she ducks and flips him to the floor and turns to face Zhishan

Zhishan: When you seek vengeance, dig two graves. One for your enemy and one for yourself

Helena: I don't speak Chinese so I'm just gonna assume you said goodbye.

She raises two guns and shoots him in the chest killing him making him fall backwards, dead. She turns to man 3 and kneels beside him

Helena: Tell your mistress Frank Bertinelli sends his regards.

She smirks and walks away, leaving.

LATER

She goes to hit her with her staff but Sasha raises her sword to block the move and tries to hit her with the blade but China uses her staff to block the move and pushes her away making her fall down the stairs

China(Chinese): Sorry about that, darling.

She runs down the stairs

HALLWAY

Frank walks out of the living room when China finds him and pushes him against the wall

China: Frank Bertinelli. This is for Zhishan.

She raises her knife to stab him when Sam/Red Hood throws a knife into her wrist making her drop the knife. China turns to face him as Sam throws another knife into her leg making her fall to her knees.

She walks closer pulling her mask off.

Frank: Helena? What is this?

Helena: Payback for Michael. I know you had him killed. Salvati told me

Frank: I did that to protect the family.

Helena: I had to take everything away from you because you took everything from me. You finally know what it feels like. Your own blood is responsible for the death of your entire world.

She stands over him and aims the gun down to him

Sam/Red Hood runs up behind her and throws a knife at the gun knocking it out of her hand. Helena turns to face her. She walks closer and spins around to kick her but Sam ducks and kicks her legs out from under her.

The cops arrives. Lance and Hilton runs up seeing Frank and the laptop on the ground.

QUEEN INDUSTIAL-BASEMENT

Helena is lying on the table. Sam is standing nearby waiting for her to wake up. She gasps in pain waking up.

Sam: Helena, easy, easy. You were lucky

Helena: Am I supposed to be grateful?

Sam: Helena----

Helena: He's a monster. A criminal. Why would you save him?

Sam: I didn't save him. You think that because you've killed, you understand what it's like to have blood on your hands? You don't know shit. I got a lot more blood on my hands. I know the toll it takes on you. My own sister doesn't even know I'm alive because this world I'm involved in is too dangerous.

Helena: I'm not going to stop

Sam: The cops have him in custody. He's going to jail and then to prison.

Helena: They don't have anything on him

Sam: They have the laptop. He's going away, Helena. For the rest of his life. This is the difference between you and me. This is justice.

Helena stands and walks towards the stairs

Helena: Then I guess you were right. I'm more interested in revenge. Stay out of my way, Sam or I'll go pay a visit to your sister in Central City

Sam narrows his eyes and takes a step closer towards her

Sam: You go anywhere near her and I'll find you no matter where you go and I'll show what kind of monster I can be.

Helena doesn't say anything as she walks up the stairs, leaving.

BIG BELLY BURGER

Sam is sitting in a booth. John walks towards him and sits across from him.

John: Chili cheese friends with jalapenos and water from the girl that could give Scar-Jo a run for her money. That's a cry for help if I ever seen one.

Sam: I don't know what hurts more. This or getting shot with Curare laced bullet.

John: Been there, done that. Definitely the bullet. You?

Sam: That's a really long story.

Sam manages a small smile

John: You know, Sam, I'm not expert at this but so things didn't work out with Helena as you planned. You did save Frank Bertinelli's life. He'll be doing time for a while. Justice wins out

Sam: Helena doesn't see it that way

John: Here's the way I see it. We see her again, we take her out and by "take her out" I mean "take her down". We don't have to kill her.

Sam looks up curiously

John: Before you showed up; Oliver, Olivia, and Sas, one of them would've killed that guy the other night but they didn't. Because of you. You saved them. You thought you could save Helena. It's not your fault that you couldn't. It was just different for her and it was too late.

Sam: The thing is, I used to be just like her. If I was still alone, I would still be just like her.

John: No. You never could have. You're too good for that

They chuckle

Sam: Should've met me a year ago. You would have said different.

QUEEN MANSION

Tommy walks into the mansion.

Oliver and Olivia: Hi

Tommy: Now look, I'm sorry about tonight

Olivia: It just-----I let it get too close. I'm sorry

Tommy: No I was stupid. I told you my dad cut me off

Oliver: Right. Which is why you asked for help getting a table as Liv said

Tommy: Right. But asking help with a table and asking for a job are two very different things.

Olivia: Why didn't you tell us?

Tommy: Embarrassment. Shame. Jealousy. Probably a few other emotions I'm not used to feeling

Olivia: Tommy, our trust funds are your trust funds.

Tommy: No. That's the easy answer. And believe me, I have loved easy answers. What I need is a job.

The twins nods their heads

Tommy: I'm trying to change. Not sure what into it yet but I don't want to be what I was anymore.

Oliver: We get it. And it just so happens that we have a general manager position that is available. You're probably the guy for the job

Tommy: Will I get dental? This smile wasn't cheap.

Olivia: I'll look into it

Tommy: Thank you. I.....thank you

Oliver: You're welcome. You okay?

Tommy: I will be.

Olivia: Now go get me a cup of coffee

Oliver: Make that two

Tommy: Kiss my ass.

They all laugh

Oliver: I wasn't kidding. Chop chop. Extra foam.

Tommy: Suck my dick.

QUEEN INDUSTIAL-BASEMENT

Sasha is walking out hitting a dummy over and over again in workout shorts and a sports bra.

Sam walks down the stairs

Sam: You doing okay?

Sasha: I could be asking you the same. You're not taking all of this as hard as I thought you would be. That's saying something

Sam: I'm taking it better knowing I'm not being blamed for my choices

Sasha: Sam, how could we blame you for wanting to save someone' from themselves? You have a good heart. Not saying Helena doesn't but.....

Sam: I know what you all think of her and we did fight. I did stop her from killing her dad but I regret letting her go.

Sasha: You didn't have a choice. She was threatening to expose us and she threaten to go after your sister. That's not your fault. I got a feeling we'll be seeing her again.

ROAD

Helena is driving down the road on her bike leaving Starling City in the night.
