Olivia's Voiceover: My name is Olivia Queen. For 5 years, we were stranded on an island with only one goal.....Survive.

Oliver's Voiceover: Now along with our sister, Sasha, we will fulfill our father's dying wish....to use the list of names he left us and bring down those who are poisoning our city.

Olivia's Voiceover: To do this, we must become someone else.

Oliver's Voiceover: We must become something else.

ARROW AND ANGEL CAVE

Diggle stands up and swings towards Oliver who easily dodges the blow.

Oliver: Easy, Dig. You were poisoned.

Sasha: I told you he was going to do that.

Diggle: Son of a bitch.

He swings at Oliver again who dodges it as he holds Diggle up

Olivia helps Diggle sit back down on the table.

Olivia: We could have taken you anywhere, could have taken you home but we brought you here.

Diggle: You really did lose your minds on that island.

Oliver: Found a couple things along the way

Diggle: Like what, archery classes?

He looks at Sasha

Diggle: How did they brainwash you into this?

Sasha: No brainwashing. We all found clarity.

Olivia: Starling City is dying. It is being poisoned by a crimnal elite who don't care who they hurt as long as they maintain their wealth and power.

Diggle: What are you three gonna do, take em all down by your lonesome?

Sasha: No

Oliver: No we want you to join us

Diggle scoffs.

Olivia: Special Forces out of Kandhar. It's perfect. You're a fellow soldier

Diggle: Olivia, Oliver, you're not soldiers. None of you are. You're criminals and murderers.

He stands up and leaves the room.

QUEEN MANSION

Sasha walks up the stairs heading towards her room. Olivia sees Laurel waiting for her

Laurel: Where were you?

Olivia: What? What are you doing here?

Laurel: I heard about the shooting and I wanted to make sure you were okay.

Olivia: You did?

Laurel: Yeah I knocked on the door and I found a family terrified for you. They had no idea where you were.

Olivia: Oh.

Laurel: At least Sasha texted that she was okay. Are you and Oliver so self centered that you dont' think that people who care about you are gonna wonder where you are after you all got shot at?

Olivia: You're right

Laurel: I made peace with your selfishness a long time ago but Moira, Thea, and Walter, they don't deserve that. They deserve better, someone who doesn't care only about themselves. And Sas doesn't deserve better then for you and Oliver to drag her to whatever it is you're doing.

She begins walking towards the door

Olivia: Laurel, thanks for coming

Laurel: I care about the lives of other people, Liv. Maybe you should try it sometime.
