["Green Arrow" unmasks on the witness stand as Tommy Merlyn.]
Please state your name for the record.
Thomas Merlyn. "Tommy" 's fine, if you want.
Mr. Merlyn, you were declared dead May 15, 2013.
That night, my father destroyed a large portion of the city. With a heightened scrutiny on my family, I took the opportunity to fake my own death to protect my identity as the Hood.
Three years ago, Roy Harper confessed to being the Hood.
To protect me. And then he was attacked in prison. I have lived with that guilt for three years. I am not about to let Oliver take the blame for me the same way that Roy did. And that's why I'm here. To set the record straight.
