1
00:00:02,030 --> 00:00:03,271
Previously on Arrow...

2
00:00:03,365 --> 00:00:05,322
I'm the one
who's testifying against you.

3
00:00:05,409 --> 00:00:07,492
In a shocking fall from grace

4
00:00:07,578 --> 00:00:10,696
the Star City council has voted
to impeach Mayor Oliver Queen

5
00:00:10,789 --> 00:00:12,121
and remove him from office.

6
00:00:12,249 --> 00:00:13,831
I'm thinking about moving up your trial.

7
00:00:15,377 --> 00:00:18,040
And I got a lot of friends
at the courthouse...

8
00:00:18,171 --> 00:00:21,335
Speculation that the former
mayor is secretly the Green Arrow

9
00:00:21,425 --> 00:00:23,337
has multiplied in recent weeks,

10
00:00:23,427 --> 00:00:27,091
after his decision to terminate
two city officials investigating him

11
00:00:27,180 --> 00:00:28,546
led to his impeachment.

12
00:00:28,682 --> 00:00:32,175
If convicted, Oliver Queen
could face a life sentence.

13
00:00:32,477 --> 00:00:35,641
His fate now rests
in Star City's justice system.

14
00:01:44,925 --> 00:01:46,882
- John?
- I'm getting you out of here.

15
00:01:49,763 --> 00:01:50,844
What the hell are you doing here?

16
00:01:51,306 --> 00:01:52,547
I need your help.

17
00:01:53,183 --> 00:01:54,299
In Star City.

18
00:02:01,441 --> 00:02:02,807
Mr. Queen, what happened
to your face?

19
00:02:02,901 --> 00:02:04,142
Mr. Queen, do you know who the Flash is?

20
00:02:07,698 --> 00:02:09,610
Mr. Queen,
how long will this trial last?

21
00:02:09,741 --> 00:02:10,822
Will you be acquitted?

22
00:02:14,746 --> 00:02:16,863
And the media wonders
why everyone hates them.

23
00:02:17,541 --> 00:02:19,749
Thank you, Officer,
you can wait outside.

24
00:02:20,210 --> 00:02:22,247
I'm right where Mr. Diaz wants me.

25
00:02:23,714 --> 00:02:26,548
I need to have a privileged
conversation with my client.

26
00:02:26,925 --> 00:02:27,915
Nobody's stopping you.

27
00:02:32,347 --> 00:02:34,555
Since you fired
District Attorney Armand,

28
00:02:34,641 --> 00:02:37,600
the DA's office has brought in
outside counsel to prosecute.

29
00:02:37,686 --> 00:02:38,767
Okay, well, that could be a good thing.

30
00:02:38,854 --> 00:02:40,390
I mean, someone who's not
in Diaz's pocket.

31
00:02:40,522 --> 00:02:41,979
Have you heard of Alexa Van Owen?

32
00:02:42,065 --> 00:02:43,055
Should I have heard of her?

33
00:02:44,317 --> 00:02:46,809
She took down Intergang
and Bruno Mannheim.

34
00:02:47,154 --> 00:02:49,271
She's prosecuted
CEOs and serial killers,

35
00:02:49,364 --> 00:02:51,105
and she has CIA-caliber investigators

36
00:02:51,241 --> 00:02:53,233
that say they can find
anything and everything.

37
00:02:53,660 --> 00:02:55,196
Her conviction rate is 99%.

38
00:02:55,579 --> 00:02:57,320
She called me last night
and she offered a plea.

39
00:02:57,873 --> 00:03:00,160
Single count of
first-degree manslaughter...

40
00:03:00,292 --> 00:03:01,408
That doesn't sound so bad.

41
00:03:01,501 --> 00:03:03,413
with a 15-year minimum sentence.

42
00:03:03,670 --> 00:03:05,002
That sounds bad.
We're not taking that, right?

43
00:03:05,255 --> 00:03:06,291
We're not taking any deal.

44
00:03:06,381 --> 00:03:08,873
Look, Van Owen isn't in Diaz's pocket,

45
00:03:08,967 --> 00:03:11,334
but we have every reason to believe
that Judge McGarvey is.

46
00:03:11,553 --> 00:03:13,840
I mean, this whole system
is against you.

47
00:03:14,848 --> 00:03:16,180
No deal.

48
00:03:17,809 --> 00:03:19,596
Get me an acquittal.

49
00:03:21,980 --> 00:03:22,970
I'm not doing it, Rene.

50
00:03:23,064 --> 00:03:24,805
I'm not playing make-believe with you.

51
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:26,892
It's a mock trial, not make-believe,

52
00:03:26,985 --> 00:03:28,476
and we got to get our story straight.

53
00:03:28,570 --> 00:03:30,186
Well, I'm planning
on pleading the Fifth.

54
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,566
Did you have a different
amendment in mind?

55
00:03:31,698 --> 00:03:33,690
We can't plead the Fifth
without looking guilty.

56
00:03:33,784 --> 00:03:35,867
We are guilty. We are vigilantes,

57
00:03:35,952 --> 00:03:37,488
and we know Oliver is the Green Arrow.

58
00:03:37,829 --> 00:03:39,786
Which is why we gotta lie
through our teeth.

59
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,282
And we gotta be convincing.
We gotta have our story straight.

60
00:03:42,584 --> 00:03:44,667
Hoss, you wanna weigh in on this?
You've been real quiet.

61
00:03:45,545 --> 00:03:46,626
Why?

62
00:03:47,005 --> 00:03:48,871
It's not like I'm gonna have to testify.

63
00:03:49,132 --> 00:03:50,464
Curtis, please don't tell me
you have FOMO

64
00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:51,961
because you weren't subpoenaed.

65
00:03:52,052 --> 00:03:53,964
Yeah, I have major FOMO. Don't I rate?

66
00:03:54,179 --> 00:03:55,590
You know, maybe you're just
so much better

67
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,797
at maintaining your secret identity
than the rest of us.

68
00:03:57,933 --> 00:03:59,765
Guys, can we be real for a second here?

69
00:03:59,851 --> 00:04:01,592
I mean, Oliver's facing life in prison.

70
00:04:01,686 --> 00:04:04,520
Yeah, and I guess I'm just
a little bit surprised that you care.

71
00:04:05,106 --> 00:04:07,723
Not that I think you actually
want Oliver to go to prison, Rene,

72
00:04:07,818 --> 00:04:09,480
- but come on...
- Oliver's a jerk.

73
00:04:10,445 --> 00:04:12,107
My position on that hasn't changed.

74
00:04:12,614 --> 00:04:15,197
But what also hasn't changed
is the position that he's in

75
00:04:15,283 --> 00:04:16,319
right now.

76
00:04:18,620 --> 00:04:19,952
He's in it because of me.

77
00:04:23,250 --> 00:04:24,457
You're right.

78
00:04:24,876 --> 00:04:26,083
And I think we can all agree,

79
00:04:26,169 --> 00:04:28,206
no matter what our feelings are
about Oliver,

80
00:04:28,296 --> 00:04:29,958
none of us would want him
to go to prison.

81
00:04:30,090 --> 00:04:31,206
Am I right?

82
00:04:33,593 --> 00:04:34,583
Damn right.

83
00:04:39,641 --> 00:04:41,348
From where I'm sitting,
it's pretty simple.

84
00:04:41,810 --> 00:04:43,176
They've got the wrong guy.

85
00:04:43,687 --> 00:04:47,055
Oliver Queen isn't the Green Arrow
any more than I am.

86
00:04:47,941 --> 00:04:49,773
And for the record,
I'm not the Green Arrow.

87
00:04:49,943 --> 00:04:51,400
There appears to be
a fair amount of evidence

88
00:04:51,486 --> 00:04:53,193
to suggest the former mayor is guilty.

89
00:04:53,321 --> 00:04:54,311
What evidence?

90
00:04:54,447 --> 00:04:56,564
That photo from several months ago?
That was doctored.

91
00:04:56,700 --> 00:04:57,861
And I don't know
who they're going to find

92
00:04:57,951 --> 00:04:59,658
to say Oliver's the Green Arrow,
but they'll be lying.

93
00:04:59,744 --> 00:05:01,781
- You sound pretty sure of that.
- I am.

94
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,697
I'm the guy that arrested Oliver
six years ago, remember?

95
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:06,957
I watched him pass a polygraph.

96
00:05:08,253 --> 00:05:10,290
- He's not the Green Arrow.
- Do you know who is?

97
00:05:10,547 --> 00:05:12,413
I got a few guesses.

98
00:05:13,258 --> 00:05:14,874
- Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
- You're welcome.

99
00:05:16,803 --> 00:05:17,793
Oh, hey.

100
00:05:17,971 --> 00:05:19,212
Sorry, they told me
I could come in here.

101
00:05:19,681 --> 00:05:21,388
No, that's fine. Right? We're finished.

102
00:05:21,516 --> 00:05:23,257
Actually, maybe we could just
get some B-roll.

103
00:05:24,811 --> 00:05:27,178
As the Black Canary, you have to know
who the Green Arrow is.

104
00:05:27,856 --> 00:05:28,846
I do.

105
00:05:31,067 --> 00:05:33,184
And I'll testify to it
if they subpoena me.

106
00:05:34,487 --> 00:05:35,773
Happy? Got your sound bite?

107
00:05:36,907 --> 00:05:37,988
Good.

108
00:05:41,244 --> 00:05:42,860
This looks bigger than the O.J. trial.

109
00:05:43,079 --> 00:05:44,866
How would you know?
You were in, like, fourth grade.

110
00:05:44,956 --> 00:05:46,492
Yeah, but I watch American Crime Story.

111
00:05:46,583 --> 00:05:48,119
I guess John decided not to show.

112
00:05:48,209 --> 00:05:50,166
I knew he was pissed,
but I didn't know he was that pissed.

113
00:05:51,087 --> 00:05:52,168
Guys.

114
00:05:53,632 --> 00:05:55,214
Hey, thank you so much for coming.

115
00:05:55,425 --> 00:05:57,041
Well, you know, they were subpoenaed...

116
00:05:57,886 --> 00:06:00,378
But we also wanted to show our support.

117
00:06:00,722 --> 00:06:02,463
- Yeah, we have your back.
- Thank you.

118
00:06:03,391 --> 00:06:05,303
Really, thank you.

119
00:06:07,729 --> 00:06:08,970
- Hey.
- Hey.

120
00:06:09,105 --> 00:06:10,721
So many reporters outside.

121
00:06:10,815 --> 00:06:12,556
Yeah, I know. I'm sorry.

122
00:06:13,109 --> 00:06:14,475
- You okay?
- I always thought

123
00:06:14,569 --> 00:06:16,652
the worst thing
that could happen to Dad is...

124
00:06:16,905 --> 00:06:18,441
- He'd get hurt.
- I know.

125
00:06:18,698 --> 00:06:21,281
Okay, he's been through something
like this before. I mean...

126
00:06:21,618 --> 00:06:24,076
Not exactly like this,
but something, and...

127
00:06:25,580 --> 00:06:26,570
It's gonna be okay.

128
00:06:28,541 --> 00:06:29,531
All rise.

129
00:06:30,085 --> 00:06:33,294
Docket number 11-19-41-73,

130
00:06:33,380 --> 00:06:35,542
The People v. Oliver Jonas Queen.

131
00:06:36,424 --> 00:06:37,460
Status of the parties?

132
00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:38,840
Ready for trial.

133
00:06:39,386 --> 00:06:40,376
Ready for trial.

134
00:06:41,471 --> 00:06:42,552
Then let's begin.

135
00:06:48,645 --> 00:06:50,477
Oliver Queen is a hero.

136
00:06:51,481 --> 00:06:52,471
He is.

137
00:06:52,732 --> 00:06:55,270
He's saved this city more times
than anybody can count.

138
00:06:57,195 --> 00:06:59,482
But he's done it all from behind a mask,

139
00:06:59,781 --> 00:07:02,649
so that he could take the law
into his own hands.

140
00:07:04,285 --> 00:07:07,403
In fact, he's taken as many lives
as he's saved.

141
00:07:07,831 --> 00:07:10,414
So, yes, Oliver Queen is a hero,

142
00:07:11,167 --> 00:07:13,329
but that doesn't mean
he's not also a criminal.

143
00:07:18,049 --> 00:07:21,417
Three weeks ago,
Oliver Queen was mayor of this city.

144
00:07:22,512 --> 00:07:25,721
In that time, he has gone
from being under indictment,

145
00:07:26,266 --> 00:07:28,758
to impeachment, to being on trial.

146
00:07:30,270 --> 00:07:31,351
How?

147
00:07:31,438 --> 00:07:33,851
How could everything go wrong
so quickly for him?

148
00:07:34,357 --> 00:07:36,269
I think intuitively you know the answer.

149
00:07:36,693 --> 00:07:37,683
Corruption.

150
00:07:38,486 --> 00:07:40,273
It runs through this city like a cancer,

151
00:07:40,363 --> 00:07:45,199
compromising some city officials
while discrediting others, like...

152
00:07:46,161 --> 00:07:47,493
Like the defendant.

153
00:07:47,662 --> 00:07:50,621
Even the anti-vigilante law
that he is being charged under

154
00:07:50,874 --> 00:07:53,116
is the work of the corrupt men and women

155
00:07:53,209 --> 00:07:55,701
who are holding our city in their grip.

156
00:07:56,129 --> 00:07:58,212
This may sound like a conspiracy theory,

157
00:07:58,298 --> 00:08:00,540
but at the conclusion of this trial,

158
00:08:00,633 --> 00:08:03,592
I'm going to ask you
what is most likely.

159
00:08:04,012 --> 00:08:06,675
That our city's government
has been compromised,

160
00:08:07,140 --> 00:08:10,599
or that we elected a superhero
as our mayor?

161
00:08:13,229 --> 00:08:15,812
Ms. Van Owen,
please call your first witness.

162
00:08:16,649 --> 00:08:17,935
The people call John Diggle.

163
00:08:22,739 --> 00:08:23,729
Where is he?

164
00:08:25,075 --> 00:08:27,567
A bench warrant will issue
for Mr. Diggle.

165
00:08:27,869 --> 00:08:29,701
If he's not made to appear
within one hour,

166
00:08:29,788 --> 00:08:31,871
he'll be held in contempt of this court.

167
00:08:32,999 --> 00:08:34,080
Is your next witness ready?

168
00:08:34,459 --> 00:08:35,449
Yes, Your Honor.

169
00:08:37,295 --> 00:08:39,628
Please state your name
and occupation for the record.

170
00:08:39,923 --> 00:08:41,414
Dr. Eliza Schwartz.

171
00:08:41,758 --> 00:08:44,501
I'm an attending physician
at Starling General Hospital.

172
00:08:45,804 --> 00:08:47,090
Thank you, Dr. Schwartz.

173
00:08:47,555 --> 00:08:49,296
And you've had an occasion
to treat the defendant?

174
00:08:49,474 --> 00:08:51,932
- Yes.
- For various suspicious injuries,

175
00:08:52,018 --> 00:08:53,008
is that correct?

176
00:08:53,103 --> 00:08:56,517
I can't say without violating
doctor-patient confidentiality.

177
00:08:56,689 --> 00:08:57,679
I understand.

178
00:08:57,774 --> 00:09:00,608
Then let me direct your attention,
please, to an incident

179
00:09:01,069 --> 00:09:02,935
when Mr. Queen was not a patient.

180
00:09:03,154 --> 00:09:05,521
On the night of April 6th, 2016,

181
00:09:05,615 --> 00:09:07,607
the Green Arrow
brought in the Black Canary.

182
00:09:08,076 --> 00:09:10,614
And according to your records,
she had been stabbed...

183
00:09:10,745 --> 00:09:13,112
Objection. Is there a question
in our future?

184
00:09:13,540 --> 00:09:14,530
Yes.

185
00:09:15,375 --> 00:09:17,537
That night, you were close enough
to the Green Arrow

186
00:09:17,627 --> 00:09:19,118
to determine his identity.

187
00:09:19,963 --> 00:09:23,297
So my question is whose face
did you see that night?

188
00:09:23,508 --> 00:09:26,091
I was focused
on saving Ms. Lance's life.

189
00:09:26,344 --> 00:09:29,303
I wasn't the least bit concerned
with who the Green Arrow was.

190
00:09:29,681 --> 00:09:30,922
Concerned or not,

191
00:09:31,641 --> 00:09:33,803
whose face did you see
underneath that mask?

192
00:09:33,893 --> 00:09:36,306
You know, it's not bad.
Oliver might just pull this one off.

193
00:09:36,563 --> 00:09:37,974
You want to put money on that?

194
00:09:39,232 --> 00:09:41,269
Diaz wants Oliver in prison.

195
00:09:42,193 --> 00:09:44,230
You'd think he'd want to kill him.
I mean, at least try.

196
00:09:44,487 --> 00:09:46,854
What, so the Green Arrow
can become a martyr?

197
00:09:47,323 --> 00:09:48,564
Diaz is smarter than that.

198
00:09:50,368 --> 00:09:51,404
I have to go.

199
00:09:51,494 --> 00:09:53,110
Diaz yank your leash?

200
00:09:53,204 --> 00:09:54,536
Something like that.

201
00:09:54,664 --> 00:09:56,075
You know, you don't have to go.

202
00:09:57,375 --> 00:09:59,992
First step to standing up to him
is to stand up to him.

203
00:10:00,128 --> 00:10:02,620
Sounds like the first step
to getting myself killed.

204
00:10:02,755 --> 00:10:05,543
Not for nothing,
but apart from your face,

205
00:10:06,467 --> 00:10:08,709
there's one thing
you got in common with my Laurel.

206
00:10:09,012 --> 00:10:10,002
And what's that?

207
00:10:10,597 --> 00:10:13,180
Neither of you would let
somebody else tell you what to do

208
00:10:13,266 --> 00:10:14,347
or have you running scared.

209
00:10:14,434 --> 00:10:17,142
You think your Laurel
would stand up to Diaz?

210
00:10:17,228 --> 00:10:18,218
I know it.

211
00:10:18,646 --> 00:10:21,104
Well, maybe if she were a little smarter

212
00:10:21,649 --> 00:10:23,356
she wouldn't have gotten herself killed.

213
00:10:29,073 --> 00:10:30,314
It's been one hour.

214
00:10:30,617 --> 00:10:32,108
Mr. Diggle having not yet appeared,

215
00:10:32,202 --> 00:10:34,319
he is hereby in contempt of this court.

216
00:10:35,455 --> 00:10:36,571
I'm sorry I'm late, Your Honor.

217
00:10:38,124 --> 00:10:39,660
I had some business to take care of.

218
00:10:39,959 --> 00:10:41,075
Out of town.

219
00:10:43,171 --> 00:10:45,208
Oliver Queen is not the Green Arrow.

220
00:10:46,633 --> 00:10:48,124
I can't make it any plainer than that.

221
00:10:48,384 --> 00:10:49,841
How can you be so sure?

222
00:10:50,011 --> 00:10:53,220
From 2012 to 2016,
I was his personal bodyguard.

223
00:10:54,182 --> 00:10:56,219
If he was running around
with a bow and arrow,

224
00:10:56,893 --> 00:10:57,883
I would have known it.

225
00:10:58,061 --> 00:11:00,098
- But would you admit knowing it?
- Why wouldn't I?

226
00:11:00,355 --> 00:11:02,563
Because you were aiding
and abetting a vigilante?

227
00:11:02,732 --> 00:11:03,768
I absolutely was not.

228
00:11:04,442 --> 00:11:06,729
In fact, I had very limited
interaction with Oliver Queen.

229
00:11:06,986 --> 00:11:07,976
How can that be?

230
00:11:08,071 --> 00:11:10,063
You were head of his security
at City Hall.

231
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,697
And my job was to keep him safe.

232
00:11:12,367 --> 00:11:15,235
And that included
not jumping off of rooftops.

233
00:11:15,328 --> 00:11:17,570
Mr. Diggle, you can't even keep
yourself safe.

234
00:11:17,997 --> 00:11:21,365
I mean, in the past four years
you've been abducted by Damien Darhk.

235
00:11:21,459 --> 00:11:23,246
Your own child was also kidnapped.

236
00:11:23,544 --> 00:11:25,752
You were hospitalized for nerve damage

237
00:11:25,838 --> 00:11:28,080
caused by severe trauma.

238
00:11:28,716 --> 00:11:29,706
Mr. Diggle,

239
00:11:30,551 --> 00:11:33,919
either you travel in some
very dangerous circles,

240
00:11:35,431 --> 00:11:36,888
or you have the worst luck ever.

241
00:11:38,977 --> 00:11:40,093
Who was Sean Sonus?

242
00:11:40,228 --> 00:11:41,810
- Objection. Relevance?
- Overruled.

243
00:11:42,105 --> 00:11:43,437
- Your Honor...
- I said overruled.

244
00:11:44,732 --> 00:11:45,722
Answer the question.

245
00:11:47,026 --> 00:11:48,642
He was a drug dealer I investigated

246
00:11:48,736 --> 00:11:50,819
while undercover in the
Central City Police Department.

247
00:11:50,989 --> 00:11:53,402
And he was shot and killed
in Hub City last year.

248
00:11:53,533 --> 00:11:56,276
Your Honor, I renew my objection
as to relevance.

249
00:11:56,369 --> 00:11:58,076
Well, if Ms. Drake is a murderer,

250
00:11:58,162 --> 00:12:00,654
it would certainly undermine
her credibility now, wouldn't it?

251
00:12:01,582 --> 00:12:02,663
Objection overruled.

252
00:12:03,126 --> 00:12:05,368
Again. Sit down, Ms. Loring.

253
00:12:06,004 --> 00:12:09,293
So, you were not with
the Central City Police Department

254
00:12:09,382 --> 00:12:11,169
when Mr. Sonus was killed.
Is that correct?

255
00:12:11,467 --> 00:12:13,003
- That's right.
- Did you murder him?

256
00:12:13,469 --> 00:12:15,631
- Your Honor!
- Answer the question.

257
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,261
I'm exercising my Fifth Amendment right

258
00:12:24,355 --> 00:12:25,641
against self-incrimination.

259
00:12:38,077 --> 00:12:39,067
You beckoned?

260
00:12:40,538 --> 00:12:42,279
I saw something interesting on TV.

261
00:12:43,958 --> 00:12:46,166
And I'll testify to it
if they subpoena me.

262
00:12:48,379 --> 00:12:49,460
Is there a problem?

263
00:12:50,882 --> 00:12:51,872
Not yet, there isn't.

264
00:12:53,426 --> 00:12:55,088
You know, this would move a lot faster

265
00:12:55,178 --> 00:12:56,794
if you would stop talking in circles.

266
00:12:57,430 --> 00:12:59,922
You were given
the gift-wrapped opportunity

267
00:13:00,808 --> 00:13:02,470
to say that Oliver Queen

268
00:13:02,977 --> 00:13:03,967
was the Green Arrow.

269
00:13:07,065 --> 00:13:08,055
You didn't do it, baby.

270
00:13:08,358 --> 00:13:09,815
I wasn't aware I was supposed to.

271
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,774
Well, that's why we're here,
having this little meeting.

272
00:13:14,530 --> 00:13:16,522
So we can set expectations.

273
00:13:17,367 --> 00:13:20,656
The prosecution is holding you
as a rebuttal witness,

274
00:13:20,995 --> 00:13:22,611
so when they call you,

275
00:13:22,872 --> 00:13:25,080
you're gonna be the final nail
in the coffin.

276
00:13:25,541 --> 00:13:27,828
If I go in and try
and convince a courtroom

277
00:13:27,919 --> 00:13:29,126
that I'm Laurel Lance,

278
00:13:30,046 --> 00:13:31,162
I'm gonna get made.

279
00:13:32,965 --> 00:13:34,376
Maybe you're right.

280
00:13:36,594 --> 00:13:38,301
You don't have a poker face.

281
00:13:41,766 --> 00:13:42,756
For example...

282
00:13:44,602 --> 00:13:46,264
The way you've been acting lately,

283
00:13:48,147 --> 00:13:50,639
ever since I torched Federico
on that rooftop...

284
00:13:53,486 --> 00:13:55,478
You've been keeping
your distance from me.

285
00:13:56,322 --> 00:13:58,188
I don't know what you're talking about.

286
00:13:59,742 --> 00:14:00,732
It's okay.

287
00:14:02,995 --> 00:14:03,985
You're okay.

288
00:14:06,707 --> 00:14:08,039
I just want to be a little clear.

289
00:14:12,588 --> 00:14:14,079
When you take the stand,

290
00:14:15,550 --> 00:14:18,964
I want you to give the jury
a much better performance

291
00:14:19,929 --> 00:14:21,136
than the one you're giving me.

292
00:14:23,558 --> 00:14:25,015
You know what I'm talking about now?

293
00:14:26,519 --> 00:14:27,509
Good.

294
00:14:28,646 --> 00:14:29,978
That's a good girl.

295
00:14:37,071 --> 00:14:38,357
Gotta go to the courthouse.

296
00:14:46,414 --> 00:14:48,406
It's not going too good, is it?

297
00:14:48,624 --> 00:14:50,035
Hey, no, it's going fine.

298
00:14:50,126 --> 00:14:51,583
It's fine. That was just
the prosecution's turn,

299
00:14:51,669 --> 00:14:54,332
so when it's our turn,
we're gonna kick some major ass.

300
00:14:55,506 --> 00:14:56,667
That's a legal term.

301
00:14:58,926 --> 00:15:00,633
Why don't you go
and get yourself something

302
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,552
that's not too unhealthy
from the vending machine, okay?

303
00:15:02,847 --> 00:15:03,837
Okay.

304
00:15:08,394 --> 00:15:10,556
What will happen
if Mr. Oliver goes to jail?

305
00:15:10,646 --> 00:15:12,182
He's not going to jail, Raisa.

306
00:15:12,565 --> 00:15:13,806
He's not the Green Arrow.

307
00:15:15,526 --> 00:15:17,108
I think we both know better.

308
00:15:22,700 --> 00:15:25,613
I tanked it. I did exactly
what you said not to do.

309
00:15:25,703 --> 00:15:27,239
Lawyer's good, D.

310
00:15:27,622 --> 00:15:29,079
Don't worry, I'll bring it home.

311
00:15:29,165 --> 00:15:31,498
How? We got immunity
from the prosecution.

312
00:15:31,584 --> 00:15:33,496
If watching every episode
of Law & Order ever

313
00:15:33,586 --> 00:15:35,919
has taught me anything,
it's that you can't plead the Fifth.

314
00:15:36,422 --> 00:15:38,664
If you get cornered
and you refuse to testify,

315
00:15:38,758 --> 00:15:41,091
- you go to jail, Rene.
- Well, then I'll go to jail, hoss.

316
00:15:41,636 --> 00:15:43,593
But I'm not screwing Oliver over again.

317
00:15:44,514 --> 00:15:47,302
Hey, guys, the clerk just called
the court back into session.

318
00:15:52,063 --> 00:15:54,305
I worked in the Mayor's office
close to a year.

319
00:15:55,316 --> 00:15:58,104
Side-by-side with Mr. Queen
every single day.

320
00:16:00,071 --> 00:16:02,859
If he was running around
pretending to be Robin Hood,

321
00:16:03,407 --> 00:16:05,114
- I would have known.
- And did you know it?

322
00:16:11,290 --> 00:16:12,280
Mr. Ramirez...

323
00:16:15,753 --> 00:16:16,914
Mr. Ramirez...

324
00:16:17,421 --> 00:16:19,754
Did you have occasion to determine

325
00:16:20,007 --> 00:16:22,590
whether Oliver Queen
was the Green Arrow?

326
00:16:27,890 --> 00:16:28,880
Rene...

327
00:16:39,652 --> 00:16:40,642
He's the Green Arrow.

328
00:16:41,445 --> 00:16:42,435
Oliver is.

329
00:16:42,947 --> 00:16:44,654
And you know this
because you were a member

330
00:16:44,740 --> 00:16:46,697
of his vigilante team, weren't you?

331
00:16:48,035 --> 00:16:49,025
Yeah.

332
00:16:50,913 --> 00:16:55,328
Did you ever see the defendant kill
or maim anyone as the Green Arrow?

333
00:16:56,460 --> 00:16:57,450
Yeah.

334
00:16:57,587 --> 00:16:59,328
How many people did he kill or maim?

335
00:17:04,135 --> 00:17:06,092
- I don't know.
- Ballpark it for me.

336
00:17:06,178 --> 00:17:07,214
I don't know!

337
00:17:11,058 --> 00:17:12,344
It's too many to count.

338
00:17:12,435 --> 00:17:14,427
Order.

339
00:17:14,604 --> 00:17:15,594
Order!

340
00:17:16,105 --> 00:17:17,937
The prosecution rests, Your Honor.

341
00:17:32,622 --> 00:17:33,863
Are you okay?

342
00:17:33,956 --> 00:17:35,618
- Are you hurt?
- I'm fine.

343
00:17:35,916 --> 00:17:37,077
He picked me up from school.

344
00:17:37,418 --> 00:17:38,750
He was with a police officer.

345
00:17:39,128 --> 00:17:40,118
They said you were hurt.

346
00:17:42,256 --> 00:17:43,792
He was here and we just let him walk?

347
00:17:44,175 --> 00:17:45,336
We're not letting him walk.

348
00:17:46,010 --> 00:17:47,091
Let's get outta here.

349
00:17:57,605 --> 00:17:59,972
Hey, look at you.

350
00:18:00,358 --> 00:18:02,816
Maybe you don't care about people
finding out the truth about you.

351
00:18:03,069 --> 00:18:04,810
That's right. I don't care.

352
00:18:05,029 --> 00:18:06,486
Whatever it takes to stop you.

353
00:18:06,822 --> 00:18:09,189
How about taking on
the entire police force?

354
00:18:10,159 --> 00:18:11,650
How does that sound to you?

355
00:18:13,287 --> 00:18:14,448
You want us to light them up, boss?

356
00:18:15,081 --> 00:18:16,367
That depends on them.

357
00:18:17,958 --> 00:18:19,039
My man.

358
00:18:19,168 --> 00:18:20,454
What do you want us to do with them?

359
00:18:21,420 --> 00:18:22,627
Nothing.

360
00:18:23,422 --> 00:18:25,505
If they had an accident
after testifying...

361
00:18:26,592 --> 00:18:27,582
Could be awkward.

362
00:18:29,178 --> 00:18:31,044
Hey, smile.

363
00:18:31,931 --> 00:18:33,718
It's your lucky day, baby.

364
00:18:39,980 --> 00:18:40,970
Okay.

365
00:18:41,065 --> 00:18:42,727
Is this as bad as it looks?

366
00:18:42,858 --> 00:18:44,269
Arguably worse.

367
00:18:45,861 --> 00:18:50,026
Can we prove that Diaz
was putting pressure on Rene?

368
00:18:50,116 --> 00:18:52,324
No, no, no. I mean,
even assuming we could,

369
00:18:52,827 --> 00:18:55,365
the jury has no idea
who Ricardo Diaz is.

370
00:18:56,414 --> 00:19:00,328
Conventional wisdom says you never
ask a client if they are guilty,

371
00:19:00,418 --> 00:19:04,128
because the more I know,
the more it might tie my hands but...

372
00:19:04,797 --> 00:19:06,083
I am gonna ask...

373
00:19:08,509 --> 00:19:09,875
Are you the Green Arrow?

374
00:19:11,804 --> 00:19:12,794
Yes.

375
00:19:18,894 --> 00:19:20,760
Then I'm going to propose
a new strategy.

376
00:19:20,855 --> 00:19:22,471
- Okay.
- Jury nullification.

377
00:19:22,606 --> 00:19:23,972
- Hmm?
- You're going to admit

378
00:19:24,066 --> 00:19:25,352
to being the Green Arrow.

379
00:19:25,776 --> 00:19:28,814
We are then going to highlight
every single thing you have done

380
00:19:28,904 --> 00:19:31,146
for this city,
all the times you have saved it.

381
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,778
We will argue you do not deserve
to go to prison.

382
00:19:34,118 --> 00:19:36,986
This is a legitimate chance, Oliver.

383
00:19:37,872 --> 00:19:39,579
- I can't do it.
- Why not?

384
00:19:40,499 --> 00:19:42,616
I'd be putting a target on my back.

385
00:19:43,210 --> 00:19:47,045
I'd be putting a target
on my wife and son's back.

386
00:19:48,883 --> 00:19:51,250
I have been the Green Arrow
for six years.

387
00:19:51,510 --> 00:19:54,093
I didn't plan on doing it forever.

388
00:19:54,180 --> 00:19:56,638
I thought that one day
my mission would end,

389
00:19:56,724 --> 00:19:59,637
and I would finally,
after all this time,

390
00:19:59,810 --> 00:20:02,644
get a chance to actually live my life.

391
00:20:05,274 --> 00:20:06,640
That will never happen,

392
00:20:08,694 --> 00:20:10,811
if I tell the whole world

393
00:20:11,697 --> 00:20:13,188
that I'm the Green Arrow.

394
00:20:23,250 --> 00:20:24,741
You don't have to testify.

395
00:20:24,835 --> 00:20:27,122
- Jean doesn't have to call you.
- Yes, she does.

396
00:20:27,213 --> 00:20:28,420
And I want to testify.

397
00:20:28,547 --> 00:20:30,880
I don't want you in a position
where you perjure yourself

398
00:20:30,966 --> 00:20:31,956
because of me.

399
00:20:32,218 --> 00:20:33,925
Well, let me just add it
to the long list of felonies

400
00:20:34,011 --> 00:20:35,001
I've already committed for you.

401
00:20:35,137 --> 00:20:36,719
Look, John has something planned.

402
00:20:38,766 --> 00:20:40,428
You don't have to take the chance.

403
00:20:40,810 --> 00:20:42,096
I will take any chance,

404
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,388
if it keeps you from being taken away
from me and William.

405
00:20:45,523 --> 00:20:46,889
Court is back in session.

406
00:20:47,483 --> 00:20:48,473
Here we go.

407
00:20:54,782 --> 00:20:58,446
I graduated summa cum laude from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology

408
00:20:58,536 --> 00:21:00,823
with master's degrees in cybersecurity

409
00:21:00,913 --> 00:21:01,994
and computer sciences.

410
00:21:02,081 --> 00:21:06,246
From 2015 to 2016, I served as
the CEO of Palmer Tech Incorporated.

411
00:21:07,127 --> 00:21:08,163
Thank you.

412
00:21:08,587 --> 00:21:11,500
Defense moves to have Ms. Smoak
accepted as an expert witness.

413
00:21:11,674 --> 00:21:13,210
I don't see the point of this,
Ms. Loring.

414
00:21:13,300 --> 00:21:16,168
I want the witness to testify
to the validity of this photograph.

415
00:21:16,345 --> 00:21:18,052
Fine, but make it quick.

416
00:21:19,473 --> 00:21:20,589
Ms. Smoak,

417
00:21:21,016 --> 00:21:24,555
this appears to be a photograph
of your husband, Oliver Queen,

418
00:21:25,020 --> 00:21:27,228
- dressed as the Green Arrow.
- Yes.

419
00:21:27,314 --> 00:21:30,933
The key words being "appears to be."
This photo has been doctored.

420
00:21:31,068 --> 00:21:34,857
A pixel level analysis will show
almost undetectable light shifts

421
00:21:34,947 --> 00:21:36,734
and resolution inconsistencies

422
00:21:37,032 --> 00:21:38,944
that would not be present
in a natural photo.

423
00:21:39,118 --> 00:21:40,108
Objection, Your Honor.

424
00:21:40,202 --> 00:21:43,411
What is the point of showing us an
allegedly doctored photograph at all?

425
00:21:43,581 --> 00:21:44,992
The better question would be,

426
00:21:45,082 --> 00:21:47,324
who and why would they doctor a photo

427
00:21:47,418 --> 00:21:49,034
to make Oliver Queen
look like the Green Arrow

428
00:21:49,128 --> 00:21:50,164
if he were the Green Arrow?

429
00:21:51,755 --> 00:21:53,712
I mean, which he's not.
He's my husband, I would know.

430
00:21:54,508 --> 00:21:55,669
No further questions.

431
00:21:57,887 --> 00:21:59,219
When was Mr. Queen arrested?

432
00:21:59,471 --> 00:22:01,212
November 21st, 2017.

433
00:22:01,348 --> 00:22:02,759
And when were the two of you married?

434
00:22:02,892 --> 00:22:05,134
- November 28th.
- Just a week later?

435
00:22:05,269 --> 00:22:06,259
Yes.

436
00:22:06,437 --> 00:22:07,803
Is it possible that you
rushed the wedding

437
00:22:07,897 --> 00:22:09,934
so that you could claim
spousal privilege,

438
00:22:10,149 --> 00:22:12,641
just in case you had to testify
against Mr. Queen?

439
00:22:12,902 --> 00:22:15,815
I've been in love with Oliver
for six years.

440
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:17,771
Trust me, it felt anything but rushed.

441
00:22:18,115 --> 00:22:19,447
Let's change the topic.

442
00:22:19,700 --> 00:22:21,737
Your father's Noah Kuttler,
the alleged Calculator...

443
00:22:21,827 --> 00:22:23,409
- Objection.
- Overruled.

444
00:22:23,913 --> 00:22:26,155
- He's reformed.
- But before he was,

445
00:22:26,373 --> 00:22:29,866
did you know that he was a notorious
computer hacker and cybercriminal?

446
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:30,950
No, I had no idea.

447
00:22:31,170 --> 00:22:32,581
Doesn't say much about your ability

448
00:22:32,671 --> 00:22:34,913
to see criminality in people
close to you, does it?

449
00:22:35,299 --> 00:22:36,790
- I would...
- And under the heading,

450
00:22:36,884 --> 00:22:38,671
"Apples falling from trees,"

451
00:22:38,761 --> 00:22:41,504
have you yourself ever engaged
in cybercrime?

452
00:22:41,597 --> 00:22:43,384
No, I haven't.

453
00:22:44,725 --> 00:22:46,432
Good luck proving otherwise,
Ms. Van Owen.

454
00:22:48,646 --> 00:22:50,308
Roy Harper is not a vigilante.

455
00:22:51,106 --> 00:22:53,314
He sacrificed himself
to protect the identity

456
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,108
of a man that the city at the time

457
00:22:56,612 --> 00:22:58,148
referred to as "The Hood,"

458
00:22:58,447 --> 00:22:59,483
or "The Arrow."

459
00:22:59,907 --> 00:23:02,115
I've since come to learn
that the Green Arrow

460
00:23:02,201 --> 00:23:03,237
is the same person.

461
00:23:03,535 --> 00:23:05,993
- But that's not you.
- It's absolutely not me.

462
00:23:06,372 --> 00:23:07,954
And do you know who it is?

463
00:23:08,082 --> 00:23:11,575
Yes, I do,
but I will not reveal his identity.

464
00:23:13,545 --> 00:23:15,207
Not even if it sends me to prison.

465
00:23:17,007 --> 00:23:17,997
Pass the witness.

466
00:23:18,509 --> 00:23:19,750
Well, that's convenient.

467
00:23:20,594 --> 00:23:21,835
You're not the Green Arrow,

468
00:23:21,929 --> 00:23:24,137
you know who is the Green Arrow,
but you're not saying.

469
00:23:24,348 --> 00:23:26,010
Well, I keep my promises, Ms. Van Owen.

470
00:23:26,183 --> 00:23:27,719
When did you meet this mystery man?

471
00:23:27,935 --> 00:23:29,551
Shortly after I returned to Star City.

472
00:23:30,354 --> 00:23:32,721
As you know, I was marooned
for five years on an island

473
00:23:32,815 --> 00:23:33,805
named Lian Yu.

474
00:23:34,066 --> 00:23:36,433
This photograph was taken
during that five-year period.

475
00:23:36,527 --> 00:23:39,440
I'm just curious, why does Lian Yu
look a lot like Russia?

476
00:23:39,613 --> 00:23:41,229
- Objection.
- Overruled.

477
00:23:41,490 --> 00:23:43,152
We obtained this photograph
from a reporter

478
00:23:43,242 --> 00:23:45,029
by the name of Susan Williams.

479
00:23:47,746 --> 00:23:52,366
I've not been entirely forthcoming
about that period of time in my life.

480
00:23:54,044 --> 00:23:56,081
Parts of it were spent in Hong Kong,

481
00:23:57,756 --> 00:23:59,622
and, yes, parts of it
were spent in Russia.

482
00:24:00,300 --> 00:24:01,541
So, you lied,

483
00:24:02,011 --> 00:24:04,628
repeatedly and publicly?

484
00:24:05,514 --> 00:24:07,756
You lied about being on Lian Yu,

485
00:24:07,850 --> 00:24:10,058
and you lied about
five years of your life,

486
00:24:10,144 --> 00:24:12,511
which begs the question, Mr. Queen...

487
00:24:13,522 --> 00:24:15,229
What else have you lied about?

488
00:24:36,420 --> 00:24:37,456
Quiet.

489
00:24:37,546 --> 00:24:39,253
Quiet or I'll clear the courtroom.

490
00:24:40,716 --> 00:24:42,457
Please state your name for the record.

491
00:24:42,885 --> 00:24:44,217
Thomas Merlyn.

492
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,052
"Tommy" is fine if you want.

493
00:24:46,346 --> 00:24:48,429
Mr. Merlyn, you were declared dead,

494
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,632
May 15, 2013.

495
00:24:50,893 --> 00:24:53,806
That night, my father destroyed
a large portion of the city.

496
00:24:54,688 --> 00:24:56,350
With the heightened scrutiny
on my family,

497
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,103
I took the opportunity
to fake my own death

498
00:24:59,318 --> 00:25:01,560
to protect my identity as The Hood.

499
00:25:01,737 --> 00:25:02,773
Three years ago,

500
00:25:03,405 --> 00:25:05,738
Roy Harper confessed to being The Hood.

501
00:25:06,116 --> 00:25:07,232
To protect me.

502
00:25:08,202 --> 00:25:10,410
And then he was attacked in prison.

503
00:25:12,247 --> 00:25:15,536
I have lived with that guilt
for three years.

504
00:25:17,461 --> 00:25:20,295
I am not about to let Oliver
take the blame for me

505
00:25:20,672 --> 00:25:22,379
the same way that Roy did.

506
00:25:23,342 --> 00:25:24,674
And that's why I'm here.

507
00:25:25,677 --> 00:25:26,793
To set the record straight.

508
00:25:27,513 --> 00:25:28,503
Thank you.

509
00:25:29,389 --> 00:25:30,379
Your witness.

510
00:25:33,352 --> 00:25:34,718
If you're the Green Arrow,

511
00:25:35,020 --> 00:25:38,434
how come Rene Ramirez testified
under oath that Oliver Queen is?

512
00:25:38,899 --> 00:25:42,643
Well, I would suspect
that he was being pressured to.

513
00:25:42,861 --> 00:25:44,397
Are you saying he perjured himself?

514
00:25:44,780 --> 00:25:46,316
Well, I don't know. I'm not a lawyer.

515
00:25:46,865 --> 00:25:48,322
I'm just the Green Arrow.

516
00:25:49,660 --> 00:25:52,027
And I am telling you I am the only man

517
00:25:52,412 --> 00:25:54,199
that has ever worn this hood.

518
00:25:54,414 --> 00:25:55,700
Mr. Merlyn,

519
00:25:55,874 --> 00:25:58,207
you're under arrest
on suspicion of murder,

520
00:25:58,293 --> 00:26:02,128
assault, and violation
of the Anti-Vigilante Act of 2017.

521
00:26:02,381 --> 00:26:04,464
The bailiff will remand
Mr. Merlyn into custody.

522
00:26:04,675 --> 00:26:06,632
Objection, Your Honor.
It's the People's contention

523
00:26:06,718 --> 00:26:09,301
that Mr. Merlyn here
is not the Green Arrow.

524
00:26:09,429 --> 00:26:10,419
Be that as it may,

525
00:26:10,514 --> 00:26:12,255
I can't just let him walk out
of my courtroom.

526
00:26:12,641 --> 00:26:14,177
You know, if it's any consolation,

527
00:26:14,268 --> 00:26:17,602
my team is going to extract me
before I ever get to prison, so...

528
00:26:18,772 --> 00:26:19,979
Get him out of here.

529
00:26:21,900 --> 00:26:23,732
Your Honor, defense moves
for a dismissal.

530
00:26:23,819 --> 00:26:24,855
Nice try,

531
00:26:24,945 --> 00:26:27,653
but it's the jury's job
to sort out this kind of mess,

532
00:26:27,739 --> 00:26:28,980
and that's what I'm gonna let them do.

533
00:26:38,584 --> 00:26:40,325
Guys, on the way to Iron Heights,

534
00:26:40,419 --> 00:26:41,751
do you think we could stop
at a drive-thru?

535
00:26:41,837 --> 00:26:44,375
- I am starving.
- We're not going to Iron Heights.

536
00:26:44,631 --> 00:26:46,918
Mr. Diaz really wants to meet you.

537
00:26:47,050 --> 00:26:49,588
All right, so where did we land
on the drive-thru? It's my treat...

538
00:26:51,805 --> 00:26:53,967
You know, six against one,

539
00:26:54,308 --> 00:26:55,640
it's not really a fair fight.

540
00:26:55,809 --> 00:26:57,926
You should have brought backup. I did.

541
00:27:06,987 --> 00:27:08,603
You're cutting a little close there,
aren't you, John?

542
00:27:11,325 --> 00:27:12,406
What's your exit strategy?

543
00:27:12,951 --> 00:27:14,032
Sitting right there.

544
00:27:16,455 --> 00:27:17,445
Well, let's go.

545
00:27:23,462 --> 00:27:25,419
- Thanks for doing this.
- My pleasure.

546
00:27:26,048 --> 00:27:27,789
I always wanted to say,
"I am Spartacus."

547
00:27:31,929 --> 00:27:34,137
- It's Christopher Chance.
- Rene Ramirez.

548
00:27:34,723 --> 00:27:36,931
I think I bought you
a perjury charge back there, Rene.

549
00:27:37,100 --> 00:27:38,807
Small price to pay
for a clear conscience.

550
00:27:39,478 --> 00:27:40,468
You think it worked?

551
00:27:40,729 --> 00:27:44,143
At the very least, we've created
some very serious reasonable doubt.

552
00:27:44,441 --> 00:27:46,023
Yeah, let's hope so.

553
00:27:55,452 --> 00:27:58,035
When you said I didn't have
to take the "chance" of lying,

554
00:27:58,121 --> 00:27:59,783
- that was a pun!
- I don't do puns.

555
00:27:59,998 --> 00:28:01,864
Well, that was Christopher Chance
I did just see in there, right?

556
00:28:01,959 --> 00:28:02,995
Yes.

557
00:28:03,126 --> 00:28:04,492
I'm sorry that I couldn't loop you in.

558
00:28:04,586 --> 00:28:07,329
We had Officer Parks listening
to every word that we said,

559
00:28:07,422 --> 00:28:08,412
and I...

560
00:28:13,553 --> 00:28:16,341
I didn't know Chance
was gonna use Tommy's face.

561
00:28:16,974 --> 00:28:20,012
Well, yeah, I mean, I guess they were
thinking what's more compelling

562
00:28:20,102 --> 00:28:21,559
than a testimony from a dead guy, right?

563
00:28:24,106 --> 00:28:25,096
Excuse me.

564
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,432
- Mr. Mayor.
- We've got a problem.

565
00:28:27,526 --> 00:28:28,516
Not anymore.

566
00:28:29,069 --> 00:28:31,061
- Chance just saved our bacon.
- Laurel told me.

567
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,863
She also told me
that Diaz is making her testify

568
00:28:33,949 --> 00:28:35,030
as a rebuttal witness.

569
00:28:35,909 --> 00:28:39,778
He's sending her in there
with Chance's entire CIA file.

570
00:28:40,038 --> 00:28:42,325
She will be telling the jury everything

571
00:28:42,416 --> 00:28:44,749
about what you guys
just pulled in there.

572
00:28:45,877 --> 00:28:47,163
Or Diaz is going to kill her.

573
00:28:48,630 --> 00:28:50,462
How does Diaz even know about Chance?

574
00:28:50,924 --> 00:28:55,089
'Cause Diaz has access to everything
that Cayden James learned from his...

575
00:28:57,806 --> 00:28:59,172
It's the bug in the bunker.

576
00:28:59,599 --> 00:29:00,680
I'm sorry, Oliver.

577
00:29:02,102 --> 00:29:03,092
We'll think of something.

578
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,011
I'll give you guys some room.

579
00:29:11,111 --> 00:29:12,977
Okay. Okay, so...

580
00:29:15,157 --> 00:29:17,399
Okay, what's the something
that we're gonna think of?

581
00:29:17,534 --> 00:29:19,696
Jean suggested that I just admit
I'm the Green Arrow

582
00:29:19,786 --> 00:29:21,402
and we go for some sort of
jury nullification.

583
00:29:21,496 --> 00:29:23,158
But I explained to her that

584
00:29:23,248 --> 00:29:24,739
I would like to have a life

585
00:29:24,958 --> 00:29:28,201
after being the Green Arrow,
but more importantly, I...

586
00:29:29,004 --> 00:29:30,916
I cannot put a target
on you and William.

587
00:29:31,173 --> 00:29:33,335
Let me worry about me and William.

588
00:29:33,467 --> 00:29:35,550
Let me at least take that
off your plate.

589
00:29:37,554 --> 00:29:38,965
That's not how wedding vows work.

590
00:29:39,348 --> 00:29:40,884
We didn't exchange vows.

591
00:29:41,391 --> 00:29:42,677
But if we did,

592
00:29:42,851 --> 00:29:44,308
"exchange" means "go both ways."

593
00:29:45,562 --> 00:29:46,973
And we fight

594
00:29:47,397 --> 00:29:50,185
for each other, Oliver.
We protect each other.

595
00:29:52,611 --> 00:29:53,818
We're gonna save each other.

596
00:29:54,446 --> 00:29:56,108
I can't save anyone from behind bars.

597
00:29:56,198 --> 00:29:57,655
We'll get you out
just like we got John out.

598
00:29:57,908 --> 00:30:01,322
I can break out of prison, Felicity,
but then what, you know?

599
00:30:03,497 --> 00:30:05,489
I'm not abandoning the two of you.

600
00:30:05,582 --> 00:30:07,448
I can't make the two of you fugitives.

601
00:30:07,584 --> 00:30:08,791
We're gonna be okay.

602
00:30:08,919 --> 00:30:11,377
John and I have been talking, and...

603
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,497
If I go to prison, I need

604
00:30:16,802 --> 00:30:19,340
you and William to go into
A.R.G.U.S. protective custody.

605
00:30:25,435 --> 00:30:26,551
We're not there yet.

606
00:30:28,313 --> 00:30:29,474
We cannot live in denial.

607
00:30:30,816 --> 00:30:32,273
All right, we have to have a plan.

608
00:30:35,278 --> 00:30:36,644
I can handle losing my freedom.

609
00:30:39,950 --> 00:30:41,942
I cannot handle losing you and William.

610
00:30:59,553 --> 00:31:01,966
I solemnly affirm to
tell the truth, the whole truth,

611
00:31:02,055 --> 00:31:03,387
and nothing but the truth.

612
00:31:03,890 --> 00:31:05,381
Ms. Lance,

613
00:31:05,517 --> 00:31:07,509
the defendant here
has publicly acknowledged

614
00:31:07,727 --> 00:31:10,686
that you were the vigilante
known as the Black Canary.

615
00:31:11,148 --> 00:31:13,014
Is it fair to take Mr. Queen
at his word?

616
00:31:14,651 --> 00:31:15,983
On that, at least.

617
00:31:16,111 --> 00:31:20,105
And being that the Black Canary is
a known associate of the Green Arrow,

618
00:31:21,533 --> 00:31:24,116
is it fair to say
you know his true identity?

619
00:31:24,244 --> 00:31:25,234
I do.

620
00:31:25,745 --> 00:31:26,986
I know who the Green Arrow is.

621
00:31:27,622 --> 00:31:28,703
Good girl.

622
00:31:29,166 --> 00:31:32,955
Over the course of this trial,
we heard Rene Ramirez testify

623
00:31:33,462 --> 00:31:36,296
that Oliver Queen was the Green Arrow,

624
00:31:36,548 --> 00:31:40,588
but a man calling himself
Tommy Merlyn claims that identity.

625
00:31:41,219 --> 00:31:44,132
Ms. Lance, if you would,
please, just help me out here.

626
00:31:45,140 --> 00:31:46,256
Who's telling the truth?

627
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:49,971
I got an idea, hoss.

628
00:31:50,645 --> 00:31:52,136
- Help me out.
- Let's go.

629
00:32:00,655 --> 00:32:01,645
Ms. Lance,

630
00:32:03,658 --> 00:32:04,990
who is the Green Arrow?

631
00:32:12,042 --> 00:32:13,032
Tommy Merlyn.

632
00:32:15,170 --> 00:32:17,537
Oliver Queen is not the Green Arrow.

633
00:32:20,300 --> 00:32:22,883
Testimony being closed,
we'll take a short recess

634
00:32:22,969 --> 00:32:24,551
and resume for closing arguments.

635
00:32:29,976 --> 00:32:31,057
No comment.

636
00:32:31,853 --> 00:32:32,969
No comment!

637
00:32:33,271 --> 00:32:35,183
Back up! Give her a break, please.

638
00:32:35,273 --> 00:32:36,263
Hey, hey, listen to me.

639
00:32:37,526 --> 00:32:39,734
- Are you okay?
- Until Diaz gets a hold of me, yeah.

640
00:32:40,111 --> 00:32:41,602
I thought you said
you were gonna bury Oliver.

641
00:32:41,905 --> 00:32:43,988
- That was the plan.
- What made you change your mind?

642
00:32:45,450 --> 00:32:46,440
You did.

643
00:32:48,078 --> 00:32:50,286
The first step to standing up to him
is to stand up to him.

644
00:32:54,084 --> 00:32:56,076
- You can't stay in town.
- Don't worry.

645
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,207
Thanks to you, I now know exactly
what I have to do.

646
00:33:05,845 --> 00:33:09,964
Earlier, Judge McGarvey said
it fell upon you, the jury,

647
00:33:10,559 --> 00:33:13,597
to sort out what he deemed to be a mess.

648
00:33:14,729 --> 00:33:17,437
True, we have contradicting witnesses,

649
00:33:17,941 --> 00:33:20,524
and, yes, we have
conflicting testimonies.

650
00:33:20,902 --> 00:33:23,394
But that is not a mess,
ladies and gentlemen.

651
00:33:23,947 --> 00:33:26,155
That is the textbook definition

652
00:33:26,533 --> 00:33:28,274
of reasonable doubt.

653
00:33:37,877 --> 00:33:40,119
Fifteen minutes
after being taken into custody,

654
00:33:40,338 --> 00:33:43,627
Tommy Merlyn was freed by members
of the Green Arrow's team.

655
00:33:44,092 --> 00:33:48,086
Now, you might take that as evidence
that he is in fact the Green Arrow,

656
00:33:48,179 --> 00:33:52,549
but I would like to offer you
a much more plausible explanation.

657
00:33:52,642 --> 00:33:58,388
And that is, Oliver Queen has people
and resources at his disposal

658
00:33:58,481 --> 00:34:01,224
to do whatever it takes
to keep his secrets.

659
00:34:01,651 --> 00:34:05,065
And don't think that doesn't mean
someone falling out of the sky

660
00:34:05,238 --> 00:34:08,481
into this courtroom with a false face
and a made-up story,

661
00:34:08,825 --> 00:34:11,659
because Tommy Merlyn
is just another Roy Harper.

662
00:34:12,287 --> 00:34:14,028
He's just another man

663
00:34:14,122 --> 00:34:16,956
willing to go to prison
to cover up the crimes

664
00:34:17,042 --> 00:34:18,829
that that man committed.

665
00:34:19,628 --> 00:34:21,369
Don't let him get away with it.

666
00:34:22,255 --> 00:34:23,496
Not again.

667
00:34:25,258 --> 00:34:27,500
Not ever again.

668
00:34:30,513 --> 00:34:31,924
What happens now?

669
00:34:33,516 --> 00:34:34,723
It's up to the jury.

670
00:34:35,810 --> 00:34:36,926
Yeah, but...

671
00:34:37,562 --> 00:34:39,349
What if Diaz got to them too?

672
00:34:43,652 --> 00:34:44,642
Dad!

673
00:34:45,654 --> 00:34:46,644
Hey.

674
00:34:52,035 --> 00:34:53,992
William, I love you very much.

675
00:34:54,829 --> 00:34:56,536
I love both of you very much.

676
00:34:56,873 --> 00:34:59,581
And whatever happens,
nothing is gonna change that.

677
00:34:59,668 --> 00:35:01,409
- What do you mean?
- I mean that

678
00:35:01,670 --> 00:35:04,538
the man who wants me in prison

679
00:35:05,423 --> 00:35:06,664
controls the judge,

680
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,214
and we think it's a pretty good bet
that he has

681
00:35:11,346 --> 00:35:13,087
a strong influence over the jury.

682
00:35:13,264 --> 00:35:14,971
- What does that mean?
- It means...

683
00:35:15,892 --> 00:35:16,882
I might be going to prison.

684
00:35:18,436 --> 00:35:19,426
Okay?

685
00:35:20,021 --> 00:35:21,228
If that happens,

686
00:35:21,731 --> 00:35:25,475
Felicity has assured me

687
00:35:26,277 --> 00:35:28,269
that she is going to make sure

688
00:35:29,072 --> 00:35:30,358
you grow into the man

689
00:35:31,991 --> 00:35:33,402
that I know you can be.

690
00:35:33,910 --> 00:35:35,117
I don't want you to go.

691
00:35:35,662 --> 00:35:36,778
I don't want to go, either.

692
00:35:39,249 --> 00:35:40,956
Okay, I don't...

693
00:35:43,169 --> 00:35:45,081
I wish it was up to me but it's not.

694
00:35:46,798 --> 00:35:50,291
You are strong like me.

695
00:35:50,802 --> 00:35:51,838
Stronger even.

696
00:35:53,096 --> 00:35:54,337
So, whatever happens,

697
00:35:56,599 --> 00:35:57,840
and wherever I am...

698
00:36:03,523 --> 00:36:05,765
You need to know that I am always

699
00:36:06,276 --> 00:36:07,687
right here with you.

700
00:36:14,117 --> 00:36:15,733
- What is it?
- Jury's back.

701
00:36:16,369 --> 00:36:17,485
We have a verdict.

702
00:36:24,627 --> 00:36:26,084
Will the defendant please rise?

703
00:36:27,130 --> 00:36:28,587
Please publish the verdict.

704
00:36:29,632 --> 00:36:31,419
In the matter of
The People v. Oliver Queen,

705
00:36:31,509 --> 00:36:33,421
on all 26 counts of the indictment,

706
00:36:33,553 --> 00:36:35,135
we find the defendant...

707
00:36:35,305 --> 00:36:36,295
Guilty.

708
00:36:38,808 --> 00:36:41,516
Members of the jury, the court
thanks you for your service.

709
00:36:41,728 --> 00:36:42,764
You're dismissed.

710
00:36:43,104 --> 00:36:46,472
Defense moves for judgment
notwithstanding the verdict.

711
00:36:47,108 --> 00:36:50,476
Ms. Loring, as you know,
the standard for granting a JNOV

712
00:36:50,570 --> 00:36:53,734
requires a verdict that no
reasonable jury could arrive at.

713
00:37:00,497 --> 00:37:02,033
I find such a circumstance here.

714
00:37:03,374 --> 00:37:04,410
Your Honor...

715
00:37:04,501 --> 00:37:06,959
The evidence presented
was so conflicting

716
00:37:07,128 --> 00:37:08,915
that it created reasonable doubt.

717
00:37:09,464 --> 00:37:11,922
The defense motion for judgment
notwithstanding the verdict

718
00:37:12,008 --> 00:37:12,998
is granted.

719
00:37:13,510 --> 00:37:15,672
Mr. Queen, see Probation,

720
00:37:16,095 --> 00:37:17,085
then you're free to go.

721
00:37:24,395 --> 00:37:25,931
Oh, my God, how is this possible?

722
00:37:26,356 --> 00:37:27,346
I don't know.

723
00:37:35,615 --> 00:37:36,776
Congratulations, man.

724
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,316
Thank you.

725
00:37:38,409 --> 00:37:40,401
I'm surprised Judge McGarvey
had it in him, you know.

726
00:37:40,537 --> 00:37:42,529
I totally thought
he was in the tank for Diaz.

727
00:37:42,789 --> 00:37:44,030
I absolutely am.

728
00:37:44,833 --> 00:37:46,790
And Mr. Diaz isn't the forgiving type.

729
00:37:52,090 --> 00:37:53,080
Surprise.

730
00:37:53,383 --> 00:37:54,624
Wait, wait...

731
00:37:55,260 --> 00:37:57,297
- When did you...
- During jury deliberation.

732
00:37:57,804 --> 00:38:00,342
You know, the Judge can argue
that he got rolled,

733
00:38:00,431 --> 00:38:01,638
but no one's gonna believe him.

734
00:38:02,141 --> 00:38:03,723
Thanks again, man.
I owe you another one.

735
00:38:03,852 --> 00:38:06,595
Yeah, well, after Kasnia,
let's just call it even.

736
00:38:07,105 --> 00:38:08,095
Chris...

737
00:38:09,482 --> 00:38:11,644
- Thank you.
- Yeah, always happy to help.

738
00:38:12,277 --> 00:38:15,566
Just try not to need me again,
for at least another year.

739
00:38:17,448 --> 00:38:18,438
Okay?

740
00:38:19,826 --> 00:38:22,534
That was a brilliant move. Thank you.

741
00:38:22,787 --> 00:38:24,824
Well, I wish I could take the credit,
Oliver, but...

742
00:38:25,331 --> 00:38:26,867
It wasn't my idea.

743
00:38:29,460 --> 00:38:30,951
Dad, you might wanna close your eyes
for this part.

744
00:38:31,337 --> 00:38:33,670
That was just one time I was scared.
That's not cool.

745
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,502
That's not cool at all.

746
00:38:37,343 --> 00:38:38,504
Go to your room and lock the door.

747
00:38:38,595 --> 00:38:39,585
Is it the guy from the courtroom?

748
00:38:39,679 --> 00:38:40,715
I said go now.

749
00:39:05,413 --> 00:39:07,325
You can take a shot at me
if you want to.

750
00:39:07,498 --> 00:39:11,162
Just, it's gonna ruin me
saying thank you.

751
00:39:11,294 --> 00:39:12,501
Can't be too safe.

752
00:39:19,427 --> 00:39:21,168
- Thank you.
- Don't mention it.

753
00:39:22,764 --> 00:39:24,596
When I rolled over on you last November,

754
00:39:24,682 --> 00:39:26,093
I was thinking about my kid,

755
00:39:26,184 --> 00:39:28,050
even though I knew it meant
it'd take you away from yours.

756
00:39:32,023 --> 00:39:33,013
I'm really sorry.

757
00:39:33,524 --> 00:39:34,685
Apology accepted.

758
00:39:35,902 --> 00:39:37,063
Look, I'm sorry if I

759
00:39:38,571 --> 00:39:41,530
made you feel like you
couldn't come to me

760
00:39:41,616 --> 00:39:43,107
when Watson put you in that position.

761
00:39:45,912 --> 00:39:48,154
I'm very sorry for everything
that happened afterwards.

762
00:39:58,341 --> 00:40:00,003
I'd never do that! It's me...

763
00:40:03,554 --> 00:40:05,295
It wasn't me, I swear.

764
00:40:07,016 --> 00:40:09,554
The only law that I abide by

765
00:40:10,061 --> 00:40:12,303
is following through on my word.

766
00:40:13,439 --> 00:40:14,600
You failed at that.

767
00:40:16,567 --> 00:40:18,149
So what would you have me do?

768
00:40:18,611 --> 00:40:21,945
Two men, they broke into my chambers,
they knocked me out...

769
00:40:26,119 --> 00:40:27,951
The legal system in this country

770
00:40:29,998 --> 00:40:31,364
is going to hell.

771
00:40:36,129 --> 00:40:38,121
You really must be stupid,

772
00:40:39,465 --> 00:40:40,922
showing your face

773
00:40:43,094 --> 00:40:45,051
after the crap you pulled in court.

774
00:40:45,346 --> 00:40:46,336
No.

775
00:40:46,514 --> 00:40:49,131
I'm smart enough to know
there's no place I can run

776
00:40:49,267 --> 00:40:50,724
where you can't find me.

777
00:41:02,113 --> 00:41:05,823
I'm so sorry, Ricardo.

778
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:10,327
Fool me once...

779
00:41:16,044 --> 00:41:17,501
Couldn't get it out in time.

780
00:41:20,256 --> 00:41:21,246
Come on.

781
00:41:22,550 --> 00:41:23,666
I had a plan.

782
00:41:24,218 --> 00:41:28,804
Get Oliver Queen
discredited, imprisoned...

783
00:41:30,641 --> 00:41:34,225
I worked for months to make that happen.

784
00:41:34,771 --> 00:41:36,637
I'm so sorry to disappoint you.

785
00:41:37,023 --> 00:41:39,185
Oh, I'm not disappointed, baby.

786
00:41:41,903 --> 00:41:43,565
I'm moving on to plan B.

787
00:41:46,866 --> 00:41:48,232
Killing Oliver Queen,

788
00:41:49,952 --> 00:41:53,912
and anyone and everyone he cares about.
