[woman groaning in distance]

[groaning continues]

[effort grunting]

[coughing]

[loud grunting]

[labored breathing]

-I love you so much.
-I love you so much.

I'll love you even more
when this baby's out of me.

[baby crying]

[grunts]

[both grunting]

You are ready.

[Mia] Mom, I'm home.

Mrs. Carver had that cheese
you love so much at the store.

The one that tastes better than it smells.

Mom?

Mom?

[rustling in distance]

[both exclaim]

-Seriously, Mom!
-Good instincts. Hi.

How is Mrs. Carver?

Uh...

The usual.

She's had to tell me
everyone else's business in town,

and she's trying to
set me up with her son.

-Henry?
-No, the older one.

Oh. Cowardly Lion, Seth.

Isn't he more Scarecrow though? No brains.

Either way, not for you.

Where were you?

I was on the phone,
meeting with Smoak Tech.

Have you ever thought about
actually going in to work?

You know, you could get out
of Bloomfield, go to the city.

-I could go with you.
-You know the city's not safe for us.

If anyone ever found out
who your father is or who you are...

Right. Right, but I know
how much you love that company.

And I know how to protect myself.
You made sure of that.

I sure did.

So, if Dad's as big of a hero as you say,
then why can't we just tell everyone?

It's not that simple, Mia.

You just have to trust me on that,
I'm sorry.

Hey, I was thinking vintage movie night.
A Jordan Peele marathon?

Yeah, sure.

Hand over that cheese.

Hmm?

[electricity crackling]

Shoot.

Um...

Okay.

[electronic beeping]

What the frack?

[typing on keyboard]

[alarm sounding]

[automated voice] Intruder. Access denied.

Initiating self-destruct protocol.

Mia, what are you doing?

What am I doing?
What are you doing with all this?

Uh, I can explain. Just one second.

[automated voice counting down]

Access granted.

This is just a little something
that I've been working on, on the side.

-For Smoak Tech?
-No, not exactly.

Um...

There is a corrupt company in the Glades
that I am this close to exposing.

You're hacking again?

Like Overwatch?

No, Overwatch was part of a team, right?
Team Arrow.

And this is solo, so no team,
no complications.

You're a vigilante.

No, not exactly. [hesitating]
Technically, yes, by definition...

How long have you
been hiding this from me?

-Mia. Mia, I can explain.
-How long?

Do you realize
I haven't left this town ever?

I didn't get to go to school
like a normal kid.

-I haven't even been to a real city.
-I know.

You told me that we had to hide here,
because Dad was the Green Arrow.

That's true.

And now I find out that you've been doing
the exact same thing the entire time.

No, your father and I promised each other
that we would keep fighting for the city,

to make the city better for you,
and for our family.

I can't sit back and do nothing, Mia.

And yet, that's exactly
what you're telling me to do.

No, I'm not. Mia, this is different.

-Is it?
-Yes!

Because I'm starting to believe
what everyone else says.

That...

Vigilantes are the opposite of heroes.

-That is just propaganda.
-Oh. Says you?

And why should I believe
anything you say again?

-Mia...
-You've been lying to me my whole life.

I don't even know who you are.

[Mia] "Mom, I'm going to Star City,
and this time you can't stop me.

I need to find out
the truth about everything.

About who our family really is,

what I'm meant to do with my life.

I can't be held back anymore.

I need to forge my own path."

What's the black star for?

My mom once told me that all
the starlight we see has so far to travel,

the stars might not even exist anymore.

Eventually, they all just fade to black.

Erased.

That's where I want to be.

[crowd cheering]

What's all that?

[bell dinging]
Prizefighting.

[men cheering]

[grunting]

How much you make on that?

A few grand, if you win.

I don't lose.

[William] Of course you can do
handstand push-ups.

Ready?

You mean to risk our lives
by sneaking into the Glades?

No, not at all.

You?

Don't have anything better to do.

Tell me again
why we couldn't just take the tunnels?

There's heat on the Canaries right now.

The tunnels could be blown,
so we get to do this the hard way.

Are you coming or what?

Showoff!

[groans]

-[breathing heavily]
-This is gonna be a long night.

Great, only five million more feet to go.

Rest up. Once we get in the Glades,
we'll have to move fast.

Find Felicity and get her out
before anyone knows we were here.

And here I thought you hated her.

No one gets to kill my mom except me.

It'd be easier if we had some backup.

Yeah, well, if you shut up,
you can catch your breath faster.

I just think it was a mistake
to not bring the rest of the team.

They're not a team, they're vigilantes.

Their kind ruined Star City.

They're not the criminals
you think they are, Mia.

I remember them being heroes back then.
They only want to save the city.

-They've got eyes on us.
-What?

Save the arrow. We're okay.

I thought you couldn't hack Archer.

But you can make yourself
temporarily invisible.

Showoff.

Watch it.

[arrow latching]

Any luck finding William?

Fight club was empty.

Wherever he and Mia are heading,
they're on their own now.

And you're okay with that?

He doesn't need my help anymore.

Besides, Felicity wants us
to prioritize finding those bombs.

The city's in danger.

And also maybe
you missed the vigilante life a little.

Working with a team, saving the city.

Maybe.

Any new leads on locating the bombs?

Just a lot of shoddy police work
surrounding Felicity's death.

Missing evidence,
incomplete scene reports.

The case files are a mess.

I have a contact at the department.

If somebody paid to have that done,
he would know about it.

-You're talking about Anson?
-Yup.

I thought he cut you off.

Mmm, he did. That's why
I have you two as backup.

You got real balls coming here.

You wouldn't answer your phone.

Next time, take the hint.

I told you I can't help you anymore,
especially not now.

I need intel.

Intel on what?

The murder of Felicity Smoak.

I can't help you.

[sighs]

Wrong answer.

Are you shaking me down?

Actually, I was really hoping to avoid it,

so why don't you tell me
everything you know, Anson.

Eden Corps.

They paid the SCPD to fake Smoak's death,
tie up the loose ends.

-Eden Corps hasn't been active for months.
-Well, they are now.

And they don't want
anyone to know about it.

Probably start nuking cities again,
I don't know.

Tell us where they are.

The Glades.

Galaxy One is their front.

[faint chatter over police radio]

[grunts]

[both grunting]

Roy! Roy, no! Stop.

Stop it! Stop it!

Stop. Come on, it's time to go.

It's time to go!

So this is how the other half live.

Sadly, Star City
used to look very similar to this.

These are the coordinates
from Felicity's tape,

which means she's in there somewhere.

Hopefully, alive.

Galaxy One is one of the richest
companies in the world,

and heavily guarded.

They're not just gonna let us
walk right in.

[sighs] Actually, that's exactly
what they're gonna do.

[softly] Ow... This is ridiculous.

You need to look the part,
Ms. Executive Assistant.

I am definitely higher up
than your assistant.

And that is not what I am talking about.

We are the kids of vigilantes.

The second they scan us, we're done.

My last name isn't Clayton anymore.

And besides, all the focus
is gonna be on me, the CEO, anyway,

so just play along.

Didn't I ask you to send me the financials
on the Brandon merger?

It should be there.

I need you to reschedule my twelve o'clock
with optics--

-Sir, you need to scan in.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, push my twelve o'clock to 3:00
to make room for Jackson Labs at 1:00,

and then clear my morning
to review the Jackson Labs' R&D.

[automated voice]
Prepare for identification.

-[beeping]
-DNA match complete. Proceed.

-Hey, you're holding me up.
-She needs to scan.

-Don't be ridiculous. She's my assistant--
-Sir!

[automated voice]
Prepare for identification.

-[beeping]
-Access denied.

[alarm sounding]

-You need to come with us, miss.
-How about I don't?

Hands up. Now!

[Connor] It's cool, Ellis.

She's with me.

Sorry, Agent Hawke.
We didn't know she was one of yours.

I know.

That's the point.

-[beeping]
-DNA match complete. Proceed.

Who the hell are you?

All right, I have been tailing you guys
since the bazaar.

Once I figured out you were headed here,

I started pulling credentials
for clearance.

As an agent for Knightwatch,
which is what?

The good version of A.R.G.U.S.?

Something like that.

Look, I wanted to tell you the truth,
but I couldn't. I didn't have a choice.

[gasps]

-Yeah, you did!
-Mia.

I trusted you.

But all you did was lie to me
like everyone else.

Look, I'm sorry.

Was any of it real?

All of it.

Okay, as much as I love relationship
drama when it's not my own,

do you think we could focus
on the task at hand

and not blow our cover immediately?

Thank you.

[coughs]

All right, secret agent guy.
So what do you know about this place?

Okay, I have been doing recon
on the building.

They're in sub-level zero,
unlisted to the general public.

Well, that's where
they have to be holding Mom.

How do we get down there?

My badge isn't gonna cut it.

There will only be a handful of people
with access, all DNA-based.

I have a meeting with the guy
who runs this place, Keven Dale.

I mean, if anyone has access, it's him.

All we have to do is steal
and replicate his DNA.

-Easy.
-It actually is.

Look, I have the tech.
You just have to swab a sample.

Wait. Me?

[chuckles]

No, no. Stealing stuff covertly,
I don't do that.

Well, lucky for you, your sister does.

Great. I'll locate the sub-levels
while you guys are with Dale.

I'll find you after.

Let's do a deep dive into Galaxy.
We can see if...

Rene?

Dad.

[Rene] Damn it, Zoe.

I knew you were involved
with the Canaries,

but I didn't think you were one of them.

Not only did you not stay away
from my daughter,

you brought Roy into this.

I didn't think you were alive.

Nice to see you, too.

What are you doing
slumming it in Star City, anyway?

I still know you're looking for the bombs.

And you need to stop.

You already know that
Galaxy's behind all this, don't you?

This is the part where
you're supposed to tell me I'm wrong.

That my father, a former vigilante,
is not working with the bad guys.

The bomb plans you saw,
they're phase one of what we're calling

"The Star City Reformation Project."
-Oh, my God.
-You're part of this.

-It's not what you think it is.
-[Roy] Really?

Because wiping out an entire city
sounds a lot like genocide.

Look, this isn't about
destroying Star City.

It's about expanding
what we've done in the Glades.

And with Galaxy's help, I'll be able to do
that within a fraction of the time.

Everyone will be safely evacuated
before anything happens.

How is it you got all the age
and none of the wisdom?

They're playing you, Rene.

Galaxy is just a front for Eden Corps.

Eden Corps doesn't exist anymore.

And even if it did,

if Galaxy was run by a terrorist
organization, I would know.

Just like you knew Galaxy was paying cops
to fake Felicity's death?

Yeah. Yeah, she's still alive, Rene.

Galaxy is not the enemy.

They've been nothing but supportive.

Altruistic.

Sweetheart...

-You've seen it.
-Yeah.

But I wouldn't allow myself
to be blinded by it.

You always told me
to rely on my instincts.

What happened to yours?

You need to open your eyes, Rene.

I did.

And I used to believe being a vigilante
helped solve problems.

You and I both know it's not that simple.

Please...

Just let this go.

The father I knew, the hero,

would not have let this go.

You may have forgotten that hero,

but I haven't.

[William] Thank you for seeing us
on such short notice, Mr. Dale.

When the CEO of Harris Consolidated
comes calling, you answer.

And please, call me Keven.

Can I get you or your assistant anything?

Actually, I'm his associate.

My associate, Ms. Margot,
and I would love some coffee.

Three cups of the house favorite.

So, how can I be of service?

I've heard through the grapevine

that you've been working
with Halcyon Pharmaceuticals.

That's supposed to be hush-hush.

I'm evaluating their firm
for a potential acquisition

and I was hoping for some intel.

Before I share my secrets,

how about you share one of yours?

How were you able to get Harris
Consolidated off the ground so quickly?

I wish I could say
it was some genius plan, but really,

it was luck.

An angel investor backed me.

You have to tell me who.

City of Emeralds Capital.

But whoever they are,
they've stayed anonymous.

So now that I've told you my secret,

tell me about Halcyon.

We've ended our arrangement.

-They didn't align with our philosophy.
-Which is what?

We wanna change the world.

You can't do that
mired in short-term thinking.

You know what they say
about fidgeters, don't you?

Dreamers with idle hands.

I assure you, Mr. Harris,

no one has ever accused me of being idle.

[chuckles]

[Mia] Mr. Harris.

We have an issue back at the office. Now.

I am so sorry, Keven. The life of a CEO.

I get it.

Keep in touch.

Oh, he definitely wants to be in touch.

[Dinah Drake] How goes the search?

Well, knowing Galaxy's behind everything
really narrows it down.

If the bombs are being stored
in the Glades,

it'll be at headquarters.

Your dad being involved in all this, um,

-it can't be easy.
-I'm fine.

Let me know when you're ready to go, okay?

All right, this is the access point
to the sub-levels.

It's the only unlisted elevator bay
in the building.

The random full body DNA scanner
wasn't a dead giveaway?

But how's this swab
gonna trick a full scan?

Watch.

[trilling]
Is that replicating the DNA signature?

-How?
-Secrets of the trade.

[beeping]

Hmm.

You got a cookie or something?

All right, get ready.

There's no telling what we're facing.

Stay back and in the elevator. Understood?

You know, I'm really enjoying all these
heartfelt brother-sister moments.

You're just more useful to me not dead.

I'm sorry, do you care about me?

Yeah, maybe.

I'm also not the only one.

You know your angel investor,
City of Emeralds Capital?

I think Mom might have had
something to do with that.

What do you mean?

Well, "Emerald" for Emerald City.

Wizard of Oz was Mom's favorite.

I used to read it all the time
when I was little.

Guess she might have been
watching over you, after all.

Hi.

[yelps]

[grunts]

[yells]

[straining]

[choking]

[woman] Mia.

Mom.

You are alive.

I told you not to come.

Was my message not clear?

I wanted you both out of Star City,
not to come to the Glades.

Wow, really? No,
"Hey, kids. Thanks for the rescue?"

[Felicity] Those coordinates
were not supposed to lead you to me.

They are the coordinates of a stockpile
of bombs hidden in this building,

that's why I told you
to give them to Roy and Dinah.

Well, since we're here, would it be okay
if we got you out of there?

[Connor] Looks like this operates
under the same DNA access protocol.

Just give me a second.

[beeping]

It's so good to see you.

I never thought I'd see you again.

I was afraid
you wouldn't want to. [sniffles]

After everything.

-I'm so sorry, William.
-[sighs]

Okay, hey, not to interrupt,
but we really got to get out of here

before someone realizes
what we did to those guards.

I can't leave until I disable the bombs.

You just got out of danger
and you wanna go running back into it?

Typical.

You would rather go play hero
than do what's best for your daughter.

-Mia...
-Mia, come on.

Stay out of it.
For once in your life, Mom,

put your family first.

Being a hero, Mia,

means choosing other people's safety
above your own.

Including your family.

That's why I hid my work from you,
so that I could protect you

from having to make
difficult decisions like these.

You should have just been honest with me
from the beginning--

I should have. You are right.

I am so sorry.

Being the hero is my purpose.

-I can't leave.
-Then I want to help.

Seriously?

I'm sorry, but she's right.

Where to?
The next sub-level.

If you're going, you're gonna need this.

Thanks.

[sighs]

-Mia--
-Don't.

-Are you okay?
-Yes.

I am used to being
a disappointment to her.

The explosives are being stored
in the east end of the building.

Are there any guards in our way?

The coast looks clear except for...

Three heat signatures
headed straight towards us.

They should be right on top of us.

[exhales]

[Felicity] Zoe?

You found her.

[sighs in relief]

It is so good to see you alive.

You could have told us
we were on the same side.

To infiltrate Eden Corps, I had to be
The Calculator. It was the only way.

Looks like your plan
worked out a little too well.

Well, I'm glad my old team
came to the rescue.

Thank you for helping William.

-Where's Mia?
-Mia is...

So much like her father.

Sorry for not telling you
about her, by the way.

Guys, the coast is clear
between us and the bombs.

Hurry up, we have to move.

Don't you wanna go with them?

Hey.

I am only here to back you up.

Right, 'cause you promised your daddy.

You know, I'm really not sure
what's worse.

The, uh... The lying

or the fact that you actually thought
I needed protection.

Mia, I know that
you can take care of yourself.

Then why the hell
do you keep hanging around?

Because I care about you!

Okay? I wanted to tell you the truth,

but I knew that you would hate me
the minute I did.

And every day,
it just got harder and harder.

So, your big idea is that
I would just never find out.

Do you have any idea what it's like

to find out that your entire relationship
with someone is based on a lie?

No.

Okay, but I know what it's like
to have heroes for parents.

It sucks.

Hey, I used to ask my dad all the time

why he even adopted me

if he and my mom were
never gonna be around.

But you know what?
When I got older, I realized

I was proud of them.

You were proud that they prioritized
the rest of the world above you?

Okay, no, not that part, but...
"With great power

comes great responsibility." All right?

-Oh, come on! Spider-Man?
-Not really into comic books.

Okay, my point is,

that the same applies
to us superhero kids.

You know, we have to learn
to share our parents

and be a little selfless.

Of course, you would say that.

You've been a hero in training
since you were a kid.

And so have you.

The only difference is, I got to choose
and you never got to make that choice.

Until today.

There's your ulterior motive.

Look, Mia, if you go out that door,

you are doing exactly what Felicity wants.

Okay, if you wanna go, we will go.
If you wanna stay, we will stay.

But do not let her mistakes
make your choice for you.

It's on you now.

[Dinah Drake] This has to be the place.

[beeping]
There's someone coming.

So, what did we miss?

Oh, you came back.

Don't make a big thing of it.

[beeping]

[powering up]

[Felicity] What the hell?

Where are the bombs?

[Rene] They're already on site.

Dad.

What are you doing here?

You are alive.

No thanks to you.

Or your friend, Keven Dale.

You were right.

You all were right.

The attack on Star City
is happening tonight.

And there is zero plan to evacuate.

Dale plans to pin the blame
on a vigilante,

guessing that's why
they were keeping Felicity.

[Zoe] Can't say I'm surprised.

What opened your eyes all of a sudden?

Someone very smart

with impeccable genetics
reminded me of who I used to be.

And why should we believe you?

Aren't you the evil mayor
who's been trying to destroy Star City?

-And who are you?
-This is Mia.

These are mine and Oliver's
impeccable genetics.

You and Oliver have a kid?

Surprise!

[Connor] Okay,
now that we are all caught up,

what time do the bombs go off
and how do we stop them?

It's set to go off during the fireworks
in exactly 38 minutes.

Even if we knew where the bombs were,

that's not enough time
to climb over that wall and stop this.

There is another way.
The bombs are linked by Li-Fi.

Which means
there is an exterior power source.

You're talking about
a unified connectivity device.

-Yes.
-Like the brain of the bombs.

Oh, good. Now there are two of you.

So wait, we're just supposed to break in
to some server room

so you guys can hack into it?

Server room. How 2019.

The brain is a portable cube shape.
It fits in your hand.

Dale has something like that.

I thought it was just a fidget cube.

The only way to stop the bombs
is to destroy that device.

Dale's gonna be at the celebration,
but he won't be easy to find.

He cut a deal
for a permanent Archer blind spot.

There's always another way.

I heard these Glades' parties
are pretty fancy.

How are we supposed to fit in?

Except for you.

Leave that part to me.

[party music playing]

[Mia] This is looking for a needle
in a very creepy haystack.

[William] I'll take that to mean
you're in position. Everyone else?

[Dinah Drake] Almost.

[Roy] Looks like Rene's become
quite the celebrity.

[Dinah Drake] Overwatch,
we are in position.

[Felicity] "Overwatch." No one's called
me Overwatch in a very long time.

[Mia] Hey, can we save the walk down
memory lane for after, maybe?

[Connor] All right, what do we got to do?

[Felicity] Everyone here
is wearing functional textiles

so there are tiny computers embedded
in their clothing and yours.

When the fabrics touch, the sensors
will send us all their electronic data.

Normally, there are privacy settings
to restrict that, but I've bypassed them.

[Zoe] So, you're hacking clothes?

Pretty much.
Your job is to identify Keven Dale,

and I can help with that
via the security feed.

Let's go save the city.

[William] That's not Dale.

Okay, Mia, at your two o'clock,
there is a man in a blue suit.

He could be a potential match.

And I don't mean "match" match,
I mean target.

I mean, I don't even know
what your type is. Is it--

Mom, shut up.

Okay, sorry. Rambling. Old habits.

-Mia, you just brushed Dale.
-Got him.

I'm following him inside.

Hold on. You're gonna need backup.

You won't have comms in there.

[Mia] Isn't this what you trained me for?

I can handle a CEO. I've got this.

Nobody wants to tell you,
but your festival sucks.

Interesting.

I was expecting a Canary.

Who the hell are you?

Not a fan of chitchat.

Now, hand that thing over,

or I'll take it.

Really?

Take her alive.
We'll talk after the festival.

Oh, this will be fun.

[crash]

[grunting]

[all grunting]

[exhales] Guys, I lost him.

He's in the crowd again.

Okay, not to freak anyone out,

but this is our two-minute bomb warning.

We need to thin the herd.

I know how.

Show them what heroes look like.

Help! Vigilantes!

You have 30 seconds, Mia.

[Connor] Mia.

We did it.

The bombs are deactivated!

Let's get the hell out of here.

Citizens of the Glades.

Last night, our Independence Day
festivities were attacked

in an apparent act of terror.

Thanks to the tireless efforts
of the Glades PD,

we know the identities
of the perpetrators responsible.

The vigilantes known as Arsenal,
Black Canary and The Calculator.

A reward of $10 million will be paid
for any info leading to their capture,

dead or alive.

This was our first attack within our walls
in over a decade.

I vow to you, it will be the last.

Well, that was disturbing.

I know why my dad had to make that speech,
but hearing it out loud...

We did already have a target on our backs.
It just wasn't quite that big.

Well, it's about to get
rougher for everyone.

Including my dad.

I know you're worried, but he's right.

The best way to take down Galaxy
is from the inside.

So what now?

'Cause I'm guessing Galaxy is not just
gonna stop at bombing the city.

No.

The purpose of the bombing
wasn't to rebuild.

It was to remake Star City
in the Glades's image.

Why would Dale wanna ruin a city
he spent so much money to fix?

Because he's gonna use
the shiny new Star City

as a proof of concept
to take Archer global,

and that's too much power
for one entity to have.

Then it's a good thing
we got the band back together.

We can thank William for that one.

I sent that signal out
on a hope and a prayer.

And you kept it.

After all these years
and with everything that's happened, I...

I know I don't deserve it.

Well, I'm glad
I didn't completely hate you.

Now I got a sister to hate instead.

I need some air.

So maybe we don't really have
that type of relationship yet.

It's not you.

-I should go talk to her.
-[Felicity] And it's not you.

It's me.

Who needs a drink?
Mr. Mayor.

Impassioned speech you gave.

Really made me believe
you want those vigilantes dead.

They violated the sanctity of our walls.

Not to mention, they destroyed
our plans for expansion.

Yes, I want them dead.

They were your friends once.

Your point?

Well, they seemed to know
exactly what we were planning

and how to stop us.

Seeing how it was your desire
to evacuate Star City,

I can't help but wonder...

You did not tell me
about moving up the bomb timeline

till I pressed you on it.

If I'd known,

maybe you wouldn't have kept
Felicity Smoak in the same damn building.

The attack by the vigilantes
has provided us an opportunity,

because a city in fear desires a solution.

What is that?

The tool that will allow us
to take Archer global.

And eliminate all vigilantes for good.

Oh, wow.

This is where you have been
spending all your time.

Pretty much.

Still not a fan of cleaning, I take it.

You wanna start by nagging?

I'm your mother,
nagging is part of the deal.

So, what? You probably want me
to come help stop Galaxy.

A little mother-daughter vigilante time.

No, I wish I could take you away
from all this.

I wish that you didn't have to think
about any of this.

But I know that
that is not my decision to make.

You know, when I first left home,

I was so mad at you.

I learned everything I could
about vigilantes.

I dug up old news stories
about how they destroyed Star City.

'Cause I was convinced...

I was convinced it was true,

that you had lied to me
my entire childhood.

With your...

Your stories of the heroism of Team Arrow.

'Cause you didn't want me
to think badly about you.

Or about Dad.

I spent these past years
hating vigilantes.

Because I hated you.

Well, I don't blame you.

I understand why you wanted to lie to me.

To protect me.

I can't even imagine what it was like
having the entire city turn on you.

And turn on Dad.

Mia, you are so much like your father.

Hold on to that feeling.

So badass.

I'm so proud of you.

Mom, there's, um...

It seemed like there was
something really personal

about you stopping Galaxy.

Is that about Dad?

No, it's not.

That one is on me.

Holy crap!

Did that work?

Here goes nothing.

Archer, are you online?

[automated voice] Yes, Ms. Smoak.

Archer is active.
