The city still needs saving. But not by the Hood. Or some vigilante who's just crossing names off a list. It needs something more.

Diggle

It needs a hero, Oliver.

It's too bad The Hoods kind of ruined your nickname.

No, it's good. I don't want to be called The Hood anymore.

Diggle

Okay. So what do you want to be called? [close up of the green arrow on the shaft]

Did you know I went to M.I.T.? Guess what I majored in? Hint - Not the secretarial arts.

Felicity! We all need to have secret identities now. If I'm going to be Oliver Queen CEO, then I can't very well travel down 18 floors every time you and I need to discuss how we spend our nights.

And I love spending the night with you. [she pauses as she realises what she's just said] 3, 2, 1. I worked very hard to get where I am, and it wasn't so I can fetch you coffee.

Diggle

Well, it could be worse. My secret identity is his black driver.

Diggle

You know, Oliver, somebody once told me that secrets have weight. The more you keep, the harder it is to keep moving.

You see how hard I work out.

Dig, you may be a three-tour special forces veteran, but I was trained by the people that make the special forces look like a kindergarten class so step aside, or be put down.

Diggle

It's your funeral Sara.

It wouldn't be my first.

Diggle

Who are you people? NSA? CIA?

AWAmanda Waller

My name is Amanda Waller.

Diggle

I thought you A.R.G.U.S. guys were supposed to be more subtle.

For us, this was subtle.

Diggle

Then I want to see Lyla Michaels.

So do I. Agent Michaels has gone dark.

Diggle

Lyla's missing? What happened?

She was running down a lead in Moscow. She's missed two of her scheduled call-ins.

Diggle

What are you doing about it?

Speaking to you. Even if we knew where in Russia Lyla is, my superiors believe sending in an extraction team could cause an international incident. As far as they're concerned, she's already framed a picture on our lobby wall.

Diggle

Why are you telling all me of this?

Because I know how you and Oliver Queen spend your nights.

This is Knyazev's man inside the prison. A guard.

He'll know where in the Gulag Lyla is being held.

When all hell breaks loose, you need to meet us at the rendevous point with Lyla, or...

Diggle

Or I'm a permanent Russian.

What happened?

He's using cellular technology to detonate his bombs. Clearly, his expertise extends to obscuring that signal.

Felicity, your expertise was supposed to trump his.

Excuse me? If you have something to say to me, Oliver, say it.

People are dying. So I would like you to pull your head out of Central City and back in the game.

Sure, right after you get yours our of your ass.

Excuse me?

Diggle

Okay...

No, wait, I want to know, what exactly was that crack about Central City meant to imply?

When the first bomb went off, you weren't here. And when the second bomb went off, you sent me the wrong way.

After you didn't catch him in the first place.

Don't blame me because you didn't have it tonight.

I need some air.

Diggle

Doesn't exactly mean that Sebastien Blood is the man in the skull mask.

His last name is Blood. That can't be a good sign.

Diggle

Felicity, he's dedicated his life, risked his life to help the people of the Glades and in his spare time he's a murderer, trying to create an army of human weapons?

You're a personal bodyguard who fights crime at night with his billionaire boss. Not a lot of people show their real face in public.

Diggle

How's it going with Roy?

Not well.

Diggle

I don't know the kid all too well, but he seems to be five kinds of angry.

You might be underestimating. Roy was mad at the world before he was injected with Mirakuru.

You hacked into a prison system network?

Is that judgment I'm hearing?

Pride.

Iron Heights just put out a bulletin for Ben Turner, A.K.A Bronze Tiger, which B.T.W. is a terrible nickname, because tigers are not bronze.

Turner escaped?

He killed ten guards on the way out.

Diggle

You'd think that would make the news.

Iron Heights does better at keeping secrets than it does at keeping prisoners.

[Sara is suturing a bullet wound in Felicity's shoulder. Felicity is loopy from pain meds.]

Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?

Uh uh. You guys never go to the hospital. Besides, Dig gave me some of those aspirins. Are you spinning?

[whispers to Diggle] Aspirin?

Diggle

[whispers back] Oxycodone.

[Oliver smiles at that.]

I wouldn't be here if you hadn't been so brave. Thank you.

It was nothing. I've always wanted to say I've taken a bullet for someone, and now I can. So, really, I should be thanking you.

[finishes the sutures] All done. Not bad, but you're still gonna have a scar.

My own scar. Yay.

[approaches Felicity] You all right? [Felicity nods] Diggle had mentioned that maybe you were feeling a little left out.

What? No! I'm just used to being your girl. I mean not your "girl" girl... your girl. I know it sounds like the same word, but it... it means something different in my head.

[gently cups Felicity's cheek] Hey... you will always be my girl, Felicity.

I don't need you to get the nerve agent out. I need you to get your team in.

Diggle

My team?

They're designated Task Force X.

Give me a break, this ain't no task force. Let's call it like it is. Welcome to the Suicide Squad.

LMLyla Michaels

This past few months have been amazing. We've done more playing than talking.

Diggle

That's because, when we talk, we tend to get divorced.
