[Oliver] My name is Oliver queen.
[Gunshot]
[0iiver, voice-over] After five years in hell...
I returned home with only one goal...
To save my city.
[Glass shattering]
For eight years, I've fought alongside brave men and women
striving for justice,
but then a crisis came,
and I had to become someone else.
I had to become something else.
I made the ultimate sacrifice,
which helped birth an entirely new universe.
Now my friends and family will have to go on without me,
and although I have become a spectre,
there is a part of me that will always be
the green arrow.
[Arrow fires, clangs]
[Moira] Both my children will live.
[Tense music]
[Thea, crying] Mom... What are you doing?
- Thea, I love you. - No.
Close your eyes, baby.
[Sobbing]
You possess true courage, moira.
I'm truly sorry...
You did not pass that on to your son.
[Shouts, grunts]
[Both grunting]
It's just such a strange thing to learn
that there's a whole other...
World, I guess...
Where I died.
[Moira] The people that knew my son best tell me
that when Oliver sacrificed himself during the crisis,
that somehow he's the reason that everything changed,
that the world we're living in right now is
a kind of gift from him.
I don't know. I'm just trying to process it.
[Dinah] I... I think we're all still trying to process it,
not only Oliver's death...
But what he leaves behind.
It's a hell of a legacy.
Not just a city of heroes,
a world of heroes.
[Pedowitz] When I started this project,
it was intended to explore the history
and the pitfalls of vigilantism in star city.
I never thought this documentary would have to be retooled
to be a memorial.
[John] Nothing really ever, um,
happens the way you expect it to happen,
and that was, uh, certainly the case...
With Oliver and his mission.
He always said he would go it alone
and that the mission would never...
Be over.
I'm glad he was... wrong about the first part...
Heartbroken he was wrong about the second.
[Sighs] Thank you.
That was very moving.
[Sighs]
- [Rene] Hey, hey. - [John] Hey, man.
You all right?
Everything good.
Why do I get the sense that answer disappoints you?
[John chuckles] I just can't believe it.
Let's go.
[Melancholic music]
[Rene] When Oliver rebooted the universe,
he fixed things.
Ever since the crisis,
crime in star city disappeared overnight
literally.
Dig, he... he saved this city.
Come on. It's time.
[Glasses clinking]
Prochnost.
Ugh. I didn't know you speak Russian.
No. That's what Oliver used to say
every time he drank this stuff.
- What exactly is this stuff? - Vodka.
Yeah. It tastes like turpentine.
With faint hints of nail Polish remover.
[Roy] So what's the plan?
I plan on getting as drunk
as humanly possible.
[Roy] No. I mean after the funeral.
From what dinah tells me,
there's not much need for vigilantes anymore.
Lance's term ends in April.
He's endorsing me to replace him.
- As mayor? - No. As a bald guy with an attitude.
Yeah, as mayor.
What about you, d?
Mayor, uh... for now at least... Lance actually
just offered me a promotion to chief of police.
Guys, look. I know how this looks.
I just don't feel like this is over.
Yeah. You're not reading the same comstat reports I am.
We're a month out of this crisis, dinah,
and there's tons that we don't know,
what I do know is this.
Though Oliver's gone, his mission
is far from over.
[Dramatic music]
[Footsteps]
Finally. What the hell happened?
Jimmy tarallo gave me a few problems.
And by a few, you mean a dozen men armed with knives?
No. I mean 22 with machetes.
Queen, you shouldn't be doing this alone.
You're not ready to go into the field, diggle.
Yeah? Well, when isigned on,
I told you I was here to keep the body count low.
That includes you.
Well, I'm fine.
And tarallo?
[Sighs] A little less so.
[Keys clacking]
What's this?
[Oliver] The next name on the list.
John byrne? What's the ceo of a beer company
have to do to deserve an arrow between the eyes?
Well, the company's a front.
He's using his trucks to ferry
a very different type of commodity.
Drugs?
[Sighs]
People.
Human trafficking? Where does this end?
How many names are on your list?
Too many to cross off. Listen, diggle.
This doesn't end.
The mission is never over.
[Water rushing]
[Robert] You can survive this,
make it home, right my wrongs,
but you got to live through this first.
[Dramatic music]
- [Gunshots] - [Splashing]
Survive.
[Oliver] No!
[Gunshot]
[Somber music]
[Shudders]
- Hey. - What the frak?
Sorry. I... I didn't mean to scare you.
I meant to time portal to your front door,
but I guess I... I overshot the Mark a bit.
This is a... this is a nice room.
Time portal?
Yeah. I'm a time traveler, remember?
Right. Okay. Um, and why did you time travel here?
Because I'm here to take you to your father's funeral.
[Clanging]
[Exhales] You know, I actually should have tried that sooner.
It's not that hard, actually.
That's because your arms are the size of telephone Poles.
[Sighs] You doing okay?
When am I never not okay?
I don't think any of us are really okay,
but it seems to be hitting you particularly hard.
I'm fine, like always.
You ready?
- Yeah. Let's do this. - Yeah.
So what did Oliver call this thing?
He called it the Mark of four.
[Arm whirring]
So how you doing?
Uh, I'm just... I'm nervous about the funeral.
[Sighs] Yeah. You know, thea's gonna be there.
Imagine both of Oliver's sisters would be there.
I kind of left thea abruptly.
Ah. You're worried about an awkward reunion.
I'm worried about any kind of reunion.
[Dinah] Well, hey. Look at it this way.
After fighting the Mirakuru soldiers
and the thanatos guild,
seeing your ex-girlfriend should be cake.
That's why I'm scared.
I don't want her to be my ex-girlfriend.
[Rene] So when's Felicity get to town?
[Sighs] I don't know if she's coming.
It's her husband's funeral, man.
Which is exactly why I think she might miss it.
[Melancholic music]
I don't know, Rene.
She has a nanny watching Mia right now.
Felicity hasn't even made it out of bed.
I have no idea how to help her.
[John] At least bring me for backup.
[Oliver] How many times are we gonna go over this, diggle?
You know, iwent through byrne's financials.
Every month, he gives over a million dollars
to this outfit called black armada.
- You know who they are? - Private security firm.
- Former special forces. - That's right,
and you don't think it's a good idea to bring
a former soldier of your own?
You know what I think?
I don't think you really want me there.
Oh. Thanks for finally getting my point.
I don't think you want me there because you're afraid
I will stop you from committing cold-blooded murder.
[Sighs]
[Tense music]
You think that your role is to keep the body count low.
There's a way you can stop him tonight without killing him.
You could take him to prison,
you could see that justice is served.
The man traffics in human beings.
- Killing him is justice. - But at what cost?
You say your mission will never end. Well, trust me,
it will end a lot sooner if you lose who you are.
[Keyboard clacking]
Mia?
Don't worry. The monitor didn't drop me off
because there's another crisis coming.
That still doesn't explain what you're doing here.
[Mia] Laurel's sister showed up,
thought I might enjoy going to my dad's funeral.
And what are you doing with all this stuff?
Trying my best to channel my mom.
Sorry. Um, when Sara dropped me off,
she gave me this whole lecture about not telling people
about the future, so...
Few weeks before Sara showed up...
Something happened.
[Dramatic music]
William!
Right in front of me. I couldn't do anything to stop it, and...
I am already failing at being the green arrow.
What we do is not easy.
There are setbacks, there are tragedies,
but, god, Mia, your father,
he would be so, so proud
of how you're carrying all of that.
I can't even do the one thing that
he risked his entire life to do...
Protect my family.
[Computer beeping]
What's this?
Well, your mother's Archer protocol scans
news stations for certain key words.
- [Computer beeping] - [Keyboard clacking]
[Tense music]
William Clayton, the son of the late hero Oliver queen,
was abducted tonight in his hometown of central city.
The police have been unable to confirm
any suspects in the kidnapping.
[Dramatic music]
[Tense music]
[Whispering indistinctly]
[Keyboard clacking]
- Hey. - Hey.
Look. I'm sorry about the way that I left.
I just...
Ollie's just passed away,
and William's been kidnapped,
so... as far as apologies go,
your timing's a little not great.
[John] If you still think Oliver's mission's finished,
tell that to William when we get him back.
We will get him back, but, John, William
was kidnapped outside of star city.
I'm sure that'll make him feel a whole lot better.
- I reached out to Felicity. - Yeah. Me, too.
Radio silence.
I asked Sara to check on her.
[Elevator doors open]
[Melancholic music]
Ah. I haven't seen this many people down here in a while.
Hey.
[Felicity sighs]
Hey.
It's almost like a party. [Chuckles]
[Curtis] Um, itried running a quad-grid search task
to a keyhole satellite array, but...
[Felicity] That array's dark-sided as it undergoes a firmware upgrade,
but fortunately when William moved to central city,
his overbearing stepmom implanted a subdermal tracking device into his arm.
Ethical... debatable.
Which went dark as soon as he reentered star city.
Well, that's convenient at least.
Just one second as I work up a statistically correlated list
of possible locations he could be at.
- [Computer beeping] - That is a very long list.
Which is exactly why we called everyone.
[John] Thank you all for coming,
some on very short notice.
[Tense music]
Oliver made the ultimate sacrifice
for his friends and his family.
Now a part of his family needs our help.
This is our most important mission.
Suit up.
[Dramatic music]
Okay. Well, he's not here.
What was the next place on Felicity's list?
Kord industries.
All right. Well, let's go.
Hey. Can I talk to you for a second?
You already did back at the bunker, okay? I...
I get it. You're sorry.
No. I never told you why I left.
And you don't need to.
I understand. You were going through a lot.
Dying, getting resurrected,
it gave me a whole new perspective on... on everything,
including you.
You know, I got my whole life back,
and I realized that I wanted you in it...
[Tender music]
Forever and... and always.
And what does that mean?
[Roy] It means...
Will you marry me?
[Rory, deep voice] Get out.
[Dramatic music]
Get out!
- What the hell is that thing? - Get outta here!
- Come on. Let's go! - Go, go, go, go!
Ahh.
Nice. I would have fired some shots in the air.
My way's scarier.
So, how are things?
[Men mumbling]
[Rene] It's been a while.
Yeah. Well, a while is what it took
for these rags to work again.
Since then, I've been fighting forjustice.
To honor your father?
To honor Oliver.
[Rene] We've had our differences over the years.
Yeah, I assumed.
Why?
Of everyone,
you're the most like him.
[Dramatic music]
- Clear! - Clear!
Damn it!
He's not here.
[John] Curtis said there's a bunch of places he could still be.
- Well, we need to find him. - We will.
We have to find him, Johnny.
We will, Lyla. Are you okay?
Oliver put our family back together.
What happens if...
If we can't do the same for his?
Lyla, look at me. We can,
[tender music]
And we will, I promise.
[John] We will.
[Intense music]
Let him go!
[Tense music]
Who the hell are you?
[Dramatic music]
I said, who are you?
You're wearing his hood. You should know.
[Dramatic music]
[Grunting]
[Gunshots]
[Groans]
[Splashing]
No, please, please.
[Groans]
[Intense music]
[Gunshots]
[Bone cracks]
[Grunting]
[Music continues]
[Grunting]
[Gas hissing]
[Bowstring stretching]
[Arrow fires]
[Screaming]
[Gunshots]
[Intense music]
- [Gunshot] - Agh!
- Unh! - [Clangs]
You stay back!
John byrne...
You have failed this city.
[Dramatic music]
Let him go!
I brought him up here to throw him off.
My whole life ended right here!
I don't care! Final warning.
He thought he was saving me.
Eight years in iron heights never saved anyone.
So you kidnap his son,
the man who spared your life?
I should put this arrow in you right now!
Do it! After eight years in prison,
I got nothing left to live for anyway!
[Byrne] Go ahead!
[Tense music]
Oliver queen didn't kill you,
then neither will I,
but your ass is going back to prison.
This is the riser,
uh, this is the arrow shelf,
and this is the fadeout.
- That's really cool. - [Chuckles]
That's...
Mia.
Must be a lot to take in.
Yeah. That's the...
Understatement of the millennium.
She became a hero.
Well, she had good parents.
Do you... you want to meet her?
I don't know.
She... she might be here,
but she's... she's also at home,
waiting for me,
and I get to see her grow up.
[Tender music]
I'm not sure I want to rush that.
- Hey. - [Mia] Hey.
Something on the news you should see.
[Mia] What?
[Soft dramatic music]
William Clayton was safely recovered
from his kidnapper John byrne.
Apparently the abduction was revenge
for Oliver queen bringing byrne to justice eight years ago.
We have exclusive footage of the rescue.
[Helicopter blades whirring]
With Oliver queen confirmed dead,
we can only speculate that he inspired
a new generation of heroes to carry on his mission.
Like I said... proud.
- [Metal clanging] - [Tense music]
[Oliver] Diggle!
Don't use just your arms.
Power's coming from your hips.
Thanks for the tip.
Just get real good at that,
and maybe I'll eventually take you out in the field.
[John] Byrne didn't really have a good night, did he?
He had a better night than you think.
He's being arraigned in the morning.
Plenty of people in this book that deserve to die,
plain and simple,
probably not everyone.
Let's consider Mr. John byrne to be
proof of concept.
That people can be redeemed?
That one day I'll be able to trust you.
[Soft dramatic music]
[Sighs]
[Roy] Your mom let me in.
Is it just me, or does the new moira
seem to like me a lot more than the old moira?
[Chuckles]
Yeah. She never really liked you that much,
but in her defense, you were a criminal.
Well, I regret nothing.
If I never stole your purse,
then I never would have met you,
and even if you do say no to my proposal,
which I... I really hope you don't...
[Tender music]
Loving you has changed my life, thea.
If Ollie's death has taught me anything, it's...
That we don't have a lot of time in this life.
As long as you promise
if you ever freak out on me like that again,
you tell me instead of just leaving.
Yeah, yeah. I... I can make that promise.
Then yes.
Yes?
I will marry you, Roy Harper.
[Both laugh]
- [Indistinct chatter] - [Phones ringing]
Hey. What are you doing here?
Looking for you.
Well, I was just looking for dinah.
I think she's, uh, ghosting me.
Do you have a second to talk?
Want to step into not my office?
So, uh, what's up?
It's about Oliver.
Well, not exactly him, but...
Who his sacrifice brought back.
- Like me? - And Tommy and moira...
[Melancholic music]
But not me
or the other me, your...
Your Laurel.
Look. We don't exactly know the rules
of this whole resurrection thing.
[Laurel] Yes, we do.
You're all of the people who Oliver
would have wanted his sacrifice to bring back,
and Laurel, she...
She would have been on that list, too,
if it wasn't for me.
Oliver's death, it fixed everything else.
Why didn't it fix this, too?
Because, sweetheart, there is nothing about you
that needed to be fixed.
[Lance] All right.
[Rene] Dig, what's going on?
[John] The end of the line.
You were right. The mission's over.
Just took me a while to accept that.
I think accepting that meant accepting
that Oliver is really gone.
[Somber music]
You know, Sara said that before Oliver died
that he became something else.
I'd like to think that somehow, someway,
he's still here.
I'd drink to that.
Just as long as it's no more of that god-awful vodka.
[Both chuckle]
Okay. Cool. So... You're moving on.
So what's next for you?
Lyla accepted a promotion in Metropolis, so...
We're all gonna move there after the funeral.
[Soft dramatic music]
So am I.
I'm not gonna take the promotion.
Just no point being police in a safe city,
and there are lots of cities that still need saving.
Damn.
And here I am getting to be elected in a few months,
- and you guys decide to move away. - [John snickers]
Kind of hard not to take that personally.
[Chuckling] Don't worry, Rene. You are gonna be a great mayor
because you're a great man.
I learned from the best.
Oliver.
And the two of you.
[Music continues]
Who's getting the lights?
[Clanks]
[Lights click off]
[Dramatic music]
I'm gonna miss this place.
[Electricity powering down]
[Tender music]
[Lance] Thank you for coming.
For a long time...
I hated Oliver queen.
I blamed him for the death of my youngest daughter,
I blamed him for the violence in my city,
I interrogated him, I hunted him,
persecuted him.
I've never been more wrong in my life.
Oliver queen wasn't just a hero.
[Soft dramatic music]
He was a good man.
He was an honorable person.
The fact that he didn't start out that way
makes him, in my book,
even more honorable.
He stands as a reminder to all of us
that anyone can change.
So will this.
[Camera shutters clicking]
[Dramatic music]
- [Rain pattering] - [Thunder rumbles]
I just don't understand.
If Ollie could fix everything,
then why couldn't he fix this?
[Melancholic music]
I think that Oliver could only change the things
that didn't change him,
and if not for your father and...
[Sighs] What he did for Oliver,
your brother would never have become the man that he was.
I still can't believe Ollie's really gone.
I know, sweetheart.
[Clears throat] I'm sorry to intrude,
but I wanted to meet you.
- |'m... - My sister.
Oliver told me a lot about you.
I'm sorry that it took something like this
for us to finally meet.
Yes. Emiko, you are welcome here anytime.
Thank you.
So you're from another earth, is that it?
I know it's a lot to take in.
Well, I just found out there's a reality where I was dead,
so that's the curve I'm grading on these days.
The Laurel of, well, this earth, um...
She was my wife.
So it must be strange seeing me.
Ho! Yeah. Well, strange enough to blow the curve...
But there's something nice about it, too.
[Thunder rumbles]
My condolences on your husband's passing.
I had our marriage erased.
Feelings cannot be erased.
I had no feelings for him.
Our marriage was father's perverse joke,
meant to torment me.
Our father only ever meant for you to have a normal life.
I have lived a life far more normal
than the one father designed for me.
Hey. Thank you for coming.
There's nowhere else I'd be.
Sara, this is my sister Talia.
-Hello.
Talia, this is Sara,
my beloved.
Hey, dad.
[Breathing shakily]
Oh. Hi.
This morning, you were teething,
and now you're... I mean, wow.
Dad had a very similar reaction when he first saw me.
You met your father.
[Mia] Yeah. He trained me.
He taught me to be a hero,
how to be like him.
I can tell you're a lot like him.
I can only hope.
[Barry] Felicity.
[Felicity] Hey.
I'm so sorry.
He was a good man.
I was there at the end, and...
Every day, I'm tortured with the thought
that I could have done more,
should have done more.
No. You did everything that you could, Barry.
How could you know that?
Well, because, you know, I know you.
I'm sorry.
- [Whispering] Hey. Hey. - [Felicity] Hey.
[Quietly] Felicity.
[Kara] I'm so sorry.
There is no body down there, no?
We buried a casket full of mementos.
Does anybody wanna say a few words?
I'm barely keeping it together as it is.
I think that Oliver would have been worried
that I'd say something tactless anyway, so...
- I don't know what to say. - Yeah.
Words seem... Meaningless. [Sighs]
Hey.
Should be you.
[Somber music]
The Oliver that I met eight years ago
is not the one that we say good-bye to today.
Oliver always told me that in order to save his city,
he had to become someone else,
he had to become something else.
I always thought that meant becoming the green arrow,
but... today, I realized that meant becoming
a better man,
the best man he knew how to be,
and he took all of us with him on that journey.
He changed everything.
Oliver brought heroes into the world,
he inspired heroes,
he inspired all of us here.
I was his brother,
and Oliver queen... was mine.
[Soft dramatic music]
[John] Of course, life will go on.
It always does,
but how, what twists and turns it will take,
I can't say.
I don't know what the future holds...
[Portal whooshing]
[Dramatic music]
[Rumbling]
Except to say to expect the unexpected.
[Whooshing]
[Crackling, rumbling]
- [Explosion] - [Bangs]
[John] Oliver may be gone,
but his mission endures.
That mission lives on,
Oliver lives on
in the people he inspired.
[Revving engine]
Some will take that mission to the rest of the world...
Maybe even beyond that...
[Music continues]
Because if the past eight years has shown us anything...
[Flames crackling]
It's that this universe is far bigger
than any of us could have dared imagine...
Even if it is a little less bright
without him in it.
[Somber music]
[Monitor] Where I'm taking you,
there is no return.
I have waited a very long time to see him.
I'm ready.
[Soft dramatic music]
[Portal whooshing]
[Music continues]
[Chuckles]
Glad you could finally make it.
[Sniffles]
[Exhales]
[Tender music]
This is so nice.
Not to complain. I just thought
that the afterlife would look a little less
like your old office.
It's my mom's office.
I wanted to be where I first saw you.
Well, that would be in the it department seven floors down.
You sure?
[Felicity] You're cute.
Too bad you're, you know, dead,
which is obviously a lot worse for you than it is for me.
It's a long story.
Lucky for us...
We have all the time in the world
for me to tell it to you.
[Dramatic music]
[Man] Greg, move your head!
