Episode 5:

Rene tortured. He says I'll never give you what you want. Church has had him for 20 hours or so. It's not the pain that breaks people. It's fear of the pain. What happens next. Rene asks for the end of the story. Church says he got what he wanted from that guy. Think about that.

Lyla called in ARGUS, but hasn't found Rene, either. Oliver has to go to City Hall. Curtis says he seems optimistic. Felicity says it's not what we're used to.

Two of the recruits find blood at a location. Felicity is only supposed to share a location with Oliver.

Rene digging his grave. He asks Church why this city? You were big in the others. Why are you messing with us? Church says water access. Thousands of tons of drugs through the docks.

Oliver gets to City Hall. Thea tells him there's an interview. Collins and reporter Williams. Thea says this meeting is strictly about rezoning. Oliver campaigns for affordable housing. Collins is skeptical. That rezoning happened downtown 25 years ago. One of the sky-rises was Queen Consolidated. Collins won't change his vote.

Are your attacks personal or for good ratings? She says could be both. He wants to know how hard he has to work to win her over. She says he's underqualified and her city is suffering for it. He makes his case. Give me one month with no attacks. Let me show what I can do. If I don't deliver, it's open season. She gives him her personal cell number.

John training. Puts his shirt back on. Tells Rene we're roomies until you heal up. Rene asks about the time he was tortured. John says my brother did it. Rene asks questions. John asks why Rene was discharged. Transporting a prisoner. He tried to get the info the intelligence officers couldn't. I screwed up again. John says you have to relive it if you want to help us. Rene agrees. What do I do?

Oliver and Collins. He and Thea researched. Collins was one of the crony capitalists who pushed poor people out of those neighborhoods. You're protecting an investment. Should I call Susan Williams? Politics is the art of the real.

You have a great life. No one moves forward when they're hiding behind a mask. Felicity moved on. You should, too. Oh, you didn't know. Billy Malone. He mentioned he's seeing Felicity. Seemed to think you knew.

John tells Rene he's safe. Nothing can hurt you. Go there. Get a picture. Rene says he's starving. Wrists hurt like hell. Couldn't smell. Muscle there. Gangs. Church talking. I know what's happening.

Oliver meets Felicity on her balcony. Front doors are for people that haven't faked their death. Why didn't you tell me you're seeing someone? She snarks. Sorry. He says he's fine. But hurt she didn't tell him. She says she chickened out. Why? She wasn't keeping the door open for them. She didn't want to make it a thing until she knew it was real. He asks if it's real. She says she doesn't know.

John and Rene have something. Meet in the Cave. An airfield. Church bringing all the heads of gangs together. Oliver says we don't have much time. John dressed. Rene doesn't want to go. John says guilt line forms behind me. The suit is a path to redemption. Could be for you, too.

And I'll embrace whatever's next for me. She says that's what I came to say to you. He says we're usually on the same page. She agrees. See you later. Thank you. He says you don't need to thank me. I'll always care about you. It's a lock.

Oliver in the alley. Woman is a gift. Oliver is jumped and beaten. Bratva man comes and kills them. Nice night? It was HT!!!!!! Anatoly finds Oliver. Oliver asks what's going on? Anatoly says it's my way of handling Viktor. Can't kill him. He's too connected.

Susan meets with a man. What do you have for me? Christopher Chance took the bullets. Think I know how Oliver knows him. A photo of him in a Russian bar. Taken 5 years ago.

Church moved to Iron Heights. He's nervous. You should've flown me. The convoy is attacked. Shots fired. Men screaming. Woman screaming. Silence. Prometheus has come. Church says don't go out there. Cop killed. Prometheus knew he'd come. Hear me out. I can give you the name of the Green Arrow. It's Oliver Queen. We cool? Prometheus kills him. Yeah, we are.
