Arrow

Last season on "Arrow..."

Felicity: I convinced you that we could have it all.

I was wrong.

We have to let each other go.

I have a village, too,

run by a government strong hand named Kovar.

You'll go back to Russia,

and--and you can take on this Kovar.

What are you going to do now, Oliver?

Oliver: I know you wouldn't approve of what I did.

You were always better than me, Laurel.

That is what I loved most about you.

Thea: I thought about Laurel and what she'd say.

I think she'd tell me to get out.

Oliver: What are you going to do?

John: Take some time away from this team,

away from the city.

Oliver: I, Oliver Queen, do solemnly swear

to faithfully and impartially perform

and discharge the duties of the Office of Mayor.

Your brother's late.

"Late" is his "on time."

And he's not just my brother,

he's the mayor.

Well, maybe someone should remind him of that.

Is there something I can help you with, Captain?

This evening is important, miss Queen,

and it's supposed to be the kickoff

to the anti-crime initiative,

and I don't think I need to tell you

- how much this city-- - city needs the A.C.I.

Yes, I know,

and so does he, so he will be here.

He's just taking care of a little business first.

Blonde or redhead?

Brunette, actually.

I found the bomb.

No, no, no. That's not a bomb.

That's--1, 2, 3--

4 bombs.

I'm in the brains.

It's going to take a while to disarm.

Do you think you can keep Machin busy?

I don't think that'll be a problem.

Aah!

Does this mean you're not going to kill me?

What's a guy got to do to get a little love?

I only tried blowing up the city.

I mean, half of it.

Sleep.

Tell SCPD I left a present for them.

Get away from that!

I'm disarming it.

It's handled.

Overwatch?

Yeah.

Oh, man. That thing's just a really ugly

piece of modern art now.

Aw. You going to make a new friend?

I thought I told you to stay off the streets.

It's my city, too!

You want to help?

Yeah.

Then make a donation to the police department.

And keep that elevated.

Keep what elevated?

Aah!

I don't want to see you out here again!

The mayor will be making his official statement

on the anti-crime initiative

at the ceremony honoring the Black Canary, but--

Oliver: But he can say a few words now.

The A.C.I. Is an important step

towards lowering crime in the city,

but I'm not going to consider it

without some major reform.

Reporter: What type of reforms?

Uh, to start, an investigation

into allegations of widespread corruption

within the police department.

Thea: Ok. Mayor Queen will elaborate on all comments

at the ceremony honoring the Black Canary.

Thank you all very much.

You realize you just accused

the police department of being corrupt

at the police department gala?

I answered a question.

Yeah, and you also just put blame

on the police department

instead of taking responsibility

for the city's crime.

You know I'm taking responsibility.

Yes, the other guy,

but as the mayor,

it looks like you're sleep walking, ok?

Showing up late again

is not helping that perception.

Being the mayor gives me access

to actionable Intel as "the other guy."

It's a means to an end.

Well, it didn't start off like that, Ollie.

You wanted to become and then became the mayor

to actually be mayor.

Right, and then reality set in.

Even if we weren't dealing

with a corrupt police department,

and we are,

or an electorate that thinks I got

all my political knowledge

by binge-watching "The West Wing,"

I still wouldn't be able to focus on being mayor,

Speedy,

because I'm flying solo as the other guy.

Ok, nice try.

Talk to the controller about tax initiatives

and councilman Garcia about sanitation.

I also put the applications for deputy mayor

on your desk.

I'm going to go drink.

What I do care about

is what you promised me if I won tonight.

None of yours.

What?

Whose?

What are you two doing here?

It's late.

Curtis: That's what I told her,

but she's been complaining that the secondary processor

keeps overcloking the GPU cache.

Must be nice to have someone down here

who speaks Felicity.

Well, I'm strictly repair and maintenance.

You guys are the vigilantes.

Yeah, well, it's getting to be

an awfully big club.

What's this?

A little dossier on Wild Dog.

Wild Dog?

Yeah, you know, because of the shirt.

Silly dog just didn't really have the same ring to it.

I suggested the "wild."

Right, and why do I need a dossier on him?

I was thinking,

instead of putting an arrow in him,

you might consider bringing him into the fold.

He shot him? You shot him?

Ok, I know it's not the most enticing

of recruitment pitch plans,

but there are plenty of candidates willing to compensate

for our ineffectual-slash- corrupt police department.

Evelyn Sharp,

Mr. Ski Goggles.

Still work-shopping that codename.

Oliver: I'm not--

I'm not putting together a new team.

Ok, well, in case you haven't noticed,

we're a little shorthanded.

Just for a little while.

John will come back.

Thea will come back.

And if they don't?

Then I will handle it.

Get some sleep.

Both of you.

Officer: SCPD! We have you surrounded!

Guns on the floor now!

What is this?

These aren't our guys.

No.

They're Los Halcones.

See, they tried to rob you tonight.

A shoot-out ensued.

You killed them.

They killed you.

Drop the bodies.

Empty the cash into the van.

Man: Bravo.

Cleverness and efficiency.

Very Robin Hood.

But I doubt that you'll be providing the poor

with any of these ill-gotten gains.

Enlighten me.

I'm new in town.

Kill this prig.

No!

Any attempt to kill this prig

will result in your swift demise.

Are you the one in charge?

Go to hell.

I'll take that as a "yes."

Ok, gang.

He said he was in charge.

Anybody else want to be in charge?

No takers?

Then I guess it's going to have to be me.

6 DOAs.

The dealer and his girlfriend,

two Los Halcones, and one of our own.

Who's lucky number 6?
