Arrow backs Marcus Redman against the edge of the building and throws him to the lower roof, on top of the ventilator fan. Moira: No, the city used to be different. A life of a man, a good man, a stevedore on the docks of the city in which we live. The plaintiff will prove by a preponderance of evidence that Victor Nocenti learned that his boss, that man sitting right there, Martin Somers, was taking bribes from the Chinese Triads to smuggle drugs into our city. Laurel thinks she's the only one willing to bring him to justice. She's wrong. Moira: I know that, Oliver. Quentin pulls a green arrow out of an evidence bag and shows it to Somers. He thinks he's some kind of Robin Hood. (Oliver WHISTLING)
Oliver: Ooh. Walter: The company's about to break ground on a new site for the Applied Sciences division, and we would like to honor your father by dedicating the building in his name. Moira: And we'd like to make an announcement at the dedication that you will be taking a leadership position in the company. Laurel: By who? Camera shows Oliver's gravestone again. Laurel: Oliver? Laurel runs into Oliver's arms. Oliver: What for? Laurel: My job is to use the law to fight for what is right. The Triad will kill me. Woman: He must be drunk. Who is... now has no choice, with Mr. Somers' confession, to prosecute him.

As the vigilante, Oliver threatens Somers to make him confess to the murder as penance for all of the wrongs he has done to the city. Instead, Somers contacts the Triad, who send the assassin Chien Na Wei to kill Laurel. Oliver saves Laurel from Chien; he later obtains Somers' confession and gives an audio recording of it to Quentin. Meanwhile, Moira and Walter push Oliver to take a position at the company . Oliver stymies their efforts by using the opening of the company's new applied sciences division to publicly opt out of the position, knowing that he cannot simultaneously honor Robert's request to fight for the city and be the man Moira wants him to be. She is revealed to be conspiring with a man affiliated with a symbol that exists in Robert's book possessed by Oliver. A flashback to Oliver's time on the island shows him being attacked by an unknown hooded figure wielding a bow and arrow.
