Barry (V.O.): In the year 2019, seven years from now, me and my friends faced a crisis that ended the multiverse. Oliver Queen; the green arrow, sacrifice his life to reboot the universe to give me a second chance. I am reliving Oliver's life after Lian Yu, which is mandarin  for purgatory. He wants me to keep his family safe, to save the multiverse, although I can't do it without a harem. To do this I must become what Oliver denied he was for years....



Museum Of Antiquities - Day

A guard walked nervously into one of the numerous viewing galleries, his tie pulled down slightly and uniform shirt's collar unbuttoned. He moved towards the display in the center that held the massive Sherwood Ruby. In behind him walked his fellow guard Max, who looked at his colleague in concern.

Max: Jerry. Jerry, you ok? You look a little peaked, man.

Jerry: I'm fine. It's, uh... Mrs. Hill wants us to move the Sherwood into the vault.

Max: Now? It's mid-day.

Jerry (Nervously): I know. She says it's a security threat. It's, uh, all the robberies lately.

Both men reached under the base and placed their index fingers on two hidden fingerprint scanners. Registering that both men were authorized, the base began to lower, exposing the massive gem. Max leaned in for a closer look- And Jerry whacked him on the back of the head with his baton.

Hesitantly, he reached in and grabbed the ruby, which immediately set off alarms. A few moments later, he was walking as fast as he could down the hall, directing other guards and responding police back towards the room as he fiddled with his collar. He moved off into a side hall where a well-dressed man was leaning against a column.

Jerry: Take this thing off me, all right?

(Jerry moved his collar aside to reveal the explosive device attached to his neck)

(The man smirked in response, so Jerry reached into his coat and withdrew the ruby)

Jerry: I got it like you asked. Here! (he handed it over to the man) Take it off me!

The man calmly reached into his own pocket and withdrew a small remote. A couple of clicks later the bomb collar disarmed and unlocked. Jerry quickly removed the device.

Jerry: Were... were you... were you bluffing? Would the thing have detonated?

Dodger: Violently. Don't worry, though. You did exactly as I asked, so it's just unconsciousness for you.

Jerry (Confused): Unconscious?

(An instant later Dodger tapped the end of his stun wand to Jerry's chest, and the guard collapsed, unconscious)






Arrowcave - Day

Barry was working on the training dummy with an escrima stick while Diggle looked on. Felicity was sitting at the computers, diligently running searches for Walter and surreptitiously watching Barry as he worked out.

Diggle: You might want to take it easy if you plan on taking someone off that list tonight.

(Barry stopped hitting the dummy and caught his breath)

Barry: This is me taking it easy.

(He snapped the bamboo stick in half on one of the dummy's arms)

Diggle: So who's our lucky guy tonight?

Barry: Ken Williams.

(Felicity pushed her searches to the background as she pulled up information about Williams)
