Transcript

00:00He was a billionaire playboy. One shipwreck changed everything. Five years stranded on a

00:05deserted island. He learned to fight. He learned to survive. And his only thought was, get home.

00:10One day, he lit a fire on the cliff. Flames shot into the sky. A fishing boat saw it. When they

00:15came ashore, Oliver Queen dropped to his knees. Finally, he was saved. The news exploded. The

00:20media called it a miracle. Doctors were shocked. Burns everywhere. Twelve fractures never healed.

00:25How did he survive? Oliver said nothing. For his mother, it didn't matter. She hugged him tight,

00:30crying. But at home, things were different. Walter, his father's partner, now his mother's

00:35husband, was waiting. Oliver shook his hand coldly. Only when he saw his sister did he smile. Later,

00:40staring at his scars in the mirror, Oliver knew his mission had just begun. His best friend Tommy

00:45rushed over. They laughed. They joked. They went to dinner. But when Oliver saw his mother and Walter

00:50together, his smile vanished. His mother explained she needed someone. Walter asked for his

00:55blessing. Oliver walked away in silence. The next morning, he opened the wooden chest he brought

01:00back. Inside was a notebook. A rune-carved stone. He gave the stone to his sister. A charm to protect

01:06you. Then he left with Tommy. But the first stop shocked Tommy. Oliver went straight to Laurel. She

01:11didn't welcome him. Because five years ago, he betrayed her with her sister. That betrayal destroyed

01:16her family. And for her, there was no forgiveness. Rejected? Oliver left. But then, screeching tires.

01:22A van. Masked men. Two darts. Darkness. He woke in a warehouse. Hands tied. The kidnappers didn't want

01:29money. They wanted the truth. Was his father really dead? Did he leave any secrets? They pressed a live

01:35baton against him. Pain shot through his chest. But five years on the island had changed him. He broke

01:40free. Grabbed a chair. Blocked a strike. Took the baton. Dropped his captors one by one. He chased the last

01:45man. Cornered him. One twist. One snap. Silence. Nobody can know my secret. When police questioned

01:51him, he lied. He said a hooded stranger saved them. Detective Lance didn't believe a word. To him,

01:56Oliver was the man who betrayed one daughter and buried the other. That night, Oliver opened the

02:01notebook again. The kidnapping proved one thing. He couldn't wait any longer. The mission had to begin.

02:06Stranded five years, Oliver Queen returned broken. Refusing beds. Choosing the cold floor. Every sound,

02:11every movement makes him lash out. Until he realizes it's his own mother. Ashamed, he pulls back.

02:16Whispering apologies. But she only comforts him. No one knows what effect five years of living on a

02:21deserted island had on him. Fearing for his safety, she hires a bodyguard. Diggle. A veteran soldier

02:26who's heard all the stories about Oliver. But in the car, one glance back and Oliver is gone. He slipped

02:31out without a sound. Where did he go? To the family's abandoned factory in the Glades. He climbs the

02:35wall with ease. Tools in hand. Soon, the place transforms into his secret lair. Advanced tech.

02:41Training gear. Everything he needs. The kidnapping proved one thing. He must act now. Finish his

02:47father's mission. From a wooden chest, he pulls out a recurved bow. He sharpens his arrows. Puts on

02:52the hood. His first target, Adam Hunt. A corrupt businessman, preying on the innocent. That night,

02:56arrows cut through the dark. Windows shatter. Guards fall. Hunt hides in his car. But Oliver drags him

03:02out. An arrow aimed at his head. He has until tomorrow night, 10 p.m., to transfer 40 million dollars.

03:07Or face the consequences. Hunt scoffs. Throws out threats. Oliver answers with another arrow. Then

03:13vanishes. But Hunt doesn't pay. He calls the police instead. Arrows are handed over as evidence. While

03:18Hunt demands protection. That same night, Tommy throws a welcome back party for Oliver. The venue?

03:23Right across from Hunt's company. And there she is. Laurel. The ex who still holds the deepest wound.

03:28Her words sound forgiving. But Oliver keeps his walls up. His mind is already on Hunt. The deadline is

03:34here. And nothing's been paid. Diggle tries to stop him. But Oliver has learned his lesson. One quick

03:38move. And Diggle is out cold. Inside Hunt's tower, police and guards think they're safe. Until an arrow

03:44kills the lights. Darkness swallows the floor. Then, silence breaks. Arrows fly. Guards drop. Bullets hit

03:50their own men. Panic spreads. Hunt runs. But by the time the cops arrive, Oliver has already vanished,

03:55sliding down the side of the building into the night. The next morning, Hunt is furious. His account is

04:00empty. That arrow wasn't just a warning. It carried a hacking program, draining millions.

04:05Every dollar sent to the very people Hunt once exploited. That night, Oliver opens his notebook.

04:09One name crossed out. But he knows. This is only the beginning. By day, he looked like just another

04:14spoiled billionaire. But by night, he became something else. A hunter with a kill list in his

04:19pocket. A small leather notebook filled with names. Corrupt businessmen, criminals. The very poison

04:24eating his city alive. Each time he takes one down, he crosses off a name. One of those names?

04:28Martin Summers. A so-called businessman. But really a smuggler and a murderer. And when Oliver's ex,

04:34Laurel, stood in court to expose him, Oliver knew it was time. That night, Summers was raging at his

04:38lawyer when the lights began to flicker. One by one, his guards collapsed. Moments later,

04:43he was hanging upside down at the docks. An arrow to his throat. Oliver gave him one chance. Confess in

04:48court or face the consequences. And then, he vanished. But Summers didn't confess. Instead,

04:53he called the triad, ordering them to kill both the Hood and Laurel. Meanwhile, Oliver's double

04:58life was already cracking. His sister Thea spotted the scars on his body, dragged him to their father's

05:03grave, and lashed out for keeping secrets. Later that night, Oliver tried to reconnect with Laurel.

05:08But dinner turned deadly. Massive gunmen stormed in. Trapped in a room, Oliver fought back. A blade in

05:13hand, pulling Laurel out just in time. But the kill shot? Blocked by Diggle, his new bodyguard. Even then,

05:19Dig could tell. Oliver was hiding something. The Hood returned. Summers had crossed the line,

05:23and this time, Oliver came for blood. At the docks, arrows tore through guards,

05:27pushing Summers into a warehouse. Pinned down, Summers finally admitted his crimes,

05:31right before more assassins arrived. In the chaos, the police swarmed in. Neither man wanted to be

05:36caught, so both fled into the night. But outside, someone was already waiting. Detective Quentin Lance,

05:41Laurel's father. Gun drawn, ready to end it. Oliver struck first, knocking the weapon aside and

05:46vanishing into the dark. What Lance found instead was a recorder. On it, Summers' confession. Oliver

05:51knew one thing. He was getting sloppy. Sooner or later, someone would connect the dots. So he staged

05:56a cover. The very next day, he showed up drunk at a company ceremony, making headlines as the

06:01reckless billionaire once again. To the world, he was still just Oliver Queen. But behind the mask,

06:06the hunt had only just begun. And what he didn't know was that a far darker conspiracy was already in

06:11motion. Because the man behind his kidnapping wasn't a stranger. It was his own mother.

06:16People see the billionaire. What they don't see is the man in the hood, crossing names off one by one.

06:21This time, things go wrong. The moment he moves on his target, gunfire erupts. Another assassin got

06:26there first. Bullets rip through the air. He dives behind cover, fires back. But the shooter vanishes

06:31into the dark. Back at his hideout, he stitches up his wounds, crosses a name off his father's list,

06:36then suddenly collapses. The bullet was laced with poison. He shoves herbs into his mouth and blacks out.

06:41Next day, he knows the toxin. It's the mark of a killer called Deadshot. A mercenary so ruthless,

06:46he tattoos every victim's name onto his body. Oliver follows the trail back to the scene. He finds

06:51the embedded bullet. The caliber brought in by the Russian Bratva. So he storms their garage,

06:56forces a lead, and tracks Deadshot's hideout. But the assassin's too sharp. Gunfight, shattered windows,

07:01Deadshot escapes. Oliver gets his erect laptop. He hands it to Felicity in IT. And when the files load,

07:07the blueprint of Starling City Exchange flashes on screen. Tomorrow night, there's a massive

07:11auction. That's the target. One man can't guard an entire skyscraper. So Oliver, masked as the hood,

07:17turns to Detective Lance. He gives him Deadshot's name and warns of the attack. Even though Lance

07:21wants him arrested, he agrees to work the case. The auction begins. Crowds, champagne, music. Oliver

07:26quietly tells Diggle, get my family out. But before they reach the exit, shots ring out. Deadshot misses

07:31once, then opens fire on everyone. Chaos explodes. Oliver bolts for the roof, grabbing his stashed gear.

07:37He doesn't realize Diggle is right behind him. On the rooftop, it's bow versus rifle. Arrows slice

07:41through the air. Bullets spark against concrete. One arrow finally lands true. Deadshot drops. But

07:46the fight has a cost. Diggle takes a hit. Oliver drags him back to the lair, treats the wound,

07:51purges the poison. When Diggle wakes, his jaw drops. The man he's been hired to protect. Playboy

07:56Oliver Queen is the vigilante everyone's been hunting. He used to be just a bodyguard. One accident,

08:01one secret exposed. His fate flipped overnight. When he finds out Oliver is the hood, the headline

08:06vigilante, it feels like pure betrayal. A rich playboy lying to his face. He swings to deck

08:11Oliver. But the poison in his system drains his strength. No punch lands. Later, Oliver makes

08:16the pitch. Join me. Save this rotten city. To Diggle? That's basically crime. Next day,

08:21he quits. A new bodyguard steps in. That night, a news report grabs Oliver's attention. Declan,

08:26accused of killing his wife, headed for death row. What really matters to Oliver? The wife's boss,

08:31Jason. A name he's seen in his father's notebook. If that book is right, Declan might be innocent.

08:35But to prove it, he has to talk to Declan in prison. So Oliver puts on the hood and goes to

08:39Laurel. She never expected the vigilante at her door. One brief plea. And the next day,

08:43she's at the prison. Declan tells her the truth. Jason's company dumps toxic waste in the glades.

08:48His wife reported it. Next day, she's dead. Laurel checks the case file. The supervisor's statement

08:52says no complaint was ever made. Meanwhile, Oliver goes back to Diggle. He shows him his father's

08:57journal. Explains why he became the hood. He's trying to win Diggle over. Then Laurel

09:01calls. The supervisor's testimony is the key. Oliver smiles. That's exactly my job. Cut to

09:06the supervisor. He wakes tide across train tracks. A locomotive screams closer. He brakes. Admits

09:12Jason paid him to lie. Says there's proof hidden at his house. Oliver spares him. And soon,

09:16the evidence lands on Laurel's desk. Jason fires back. He bribes the judge. Retrial denied. Only move

09:22left? Forced Jason's confession. Oliver tracks him down and learns a hit is already in motion.

09:26Declan won't live through the night. Inside the prison, Laurel tries to keep Declan calm. Suddenly,

09:32alarms blare. Cell doors fly open. The whole place erupts. Laurel and Declan sprint out. Two

09:37inmates block their path. At the last second, Oliver crashes in, fighting through the riot to pull them

09:41out. But he's blindsided, knocked down. One inmate pins Laurel, hands on her throat. That sight snaps

09:46something in Oliver. He tackles the thug and pounds him. Again and again. So hard Laurel has to stop him,

09:52or the man would have died right there. Guards finally swarm in and lock it down. Oliver slips

09:57into the crowd and disappears. Jason is arrested. Declan is cleared. Days later, Diggle returns. He's

10:02thought it through. He joins Oliver. For a moment, everything looks right. Then, police raid Oliver's

10:07home. No questions. They cuff him. Detective Lance found surveillance footage. Oliver clearly grabbing

10:12the hood's gear. To Lance, the case is closed. Oliver Queen is the hood. So, how does Oliver get out of

10:17this one?
