Where it all started. Got on the Queen's Gambit, right over there. Shouldn't I let go?

I had none of this. One happened. Never would have met you. Shadowing my mother, I would still be alive.

No one else is gonna die because of me. Slade Wilson, he told me who you wish he hurt. You know you're hurt.

And what? You went missing. I reached out to your partners. They told me what you're planning on doing. I have to do...

A moment. You thought about telling me the night of the undertaking? Thought about how your arms... every night. Why didn't you, Tommy?

You were with him. We were with him at the end. His last words were about you. He wanted to know

if you were safe. Sorry I couldn't save him. My mother... I could save you. Thea, I can save the city if this ends tonight.

No, no, you can't commit suicide, Ollie. You won't do that to me, or to Sara, or to

your friends, or to Thea. Oliver, she just lost her mother. Losing you would destroy her. She'll be alive. I

don't know anything about hoods and masks or human weapons or any of this, but I know you. I know you like I know my

own name. And I realize it may sound crazy in light of your secret, but I know who you are in your bones, Oliver, and

that person... that person doesn't give up. That person, he always finds a way. Not this time. Your own...

You want to protect the people who you love, then the only way to do that is to stop. Sleepless. Laurel, I can't.

Yes, you can. Bye. Sobbing. Sebastian Blood. Because Sebastian is working with Slade Wilson. I have proof. Slade Wilson killed your

mother so that Sebastian could become mayor. You were right about it, man. The skull... passwords for Slade Wilson.

In this entire time it was Sebastian? What's happening? This is bigger than you and the city needs the Arrow.
