Episode 12:
Oliver and Quentin and the new captain. SCPD jackets. Dinah here, too. At the water. Diver comes up. Alex Scott, ARGUS. He's got feedback. And gets shocked dead. The rest float up dead.
**Seriously, you don't warn ARGUS they have to be analog? ARGUS isn't smart enough to figure that out on its own? Come on, writers.
Transaction complete. 70 million sent not. Maybe another day or two. Thea asks about the feds. He says ARGUS was our best shot. We're on our own. Thea says we go forward with emergency bomb shelters. William is at a safehouse with Raisa and Playstation. Thea says Cayden James isn't the first guy to try to take our city hostage.
8 days of control. Newscaster says how long will the city last before it implodes? Quentin has Laurel behind him. Then she's gone.
Vince and Dinah meet. He didn't know about the ARGUS team. Finding the location of the bomb is very difficult. He insists on knowing if she trusts him. She kisses him. Does that answer your question?
5 years ago. Central City. Vince in the Captain's office. Meet Dinah Drake. Tina Boland cover name. Vince has spent 8 months undercover. This could go south fast. She says when do we start?
Vince comes to a meeting. It's a wake for Mister Shack. Surprised. Oliver would not kill man this way. None of his team would. Vince says it was crawling with cops. Cayden brings up ARGUS. It was unexpected. I don't like surprises. And I can't trust my comrades. Vince says it sounds like it's me you don't trust. Cayden says if I didn't, you would be dead now.
Felicity asks Oliver what's wrong? He had a council meeting. She hugs him. Looks forward to a honeymoon. Aruba. She says divide and conquer isn't getting us close to finding Cayden. Alert. She picked up Vigilante.
Green Arrow and Spartan drop in on him. Vince takes his helmet off. I'm trying to stop Cayden. I can't blow my cover. Curtis and Rene run in. Hold your fire! He's a friendly. We were going to tell you. Eventually.
New Team HQ. Felicity and Curtis. Oliver asks how they know Vince can be trusted. They reply. Vince is working on finding the bomb. Vincent says Cayden keeps it moving constantly. Second you show up, he'll detonate the bomb. Felicity wants to use the sniffer to find it. Dinah argues about Vince's safety. Vince knows what he signed up for. Knows this won't be easy. The plan is a good way to get killed.
Thea trying to find more money. Quentin, what's up? Laurel's following me. Started a couple days ago. Every time I turn around, she disappears. I think she wants to reach out, but she's afraid. Thea says maybe we find a way for you to reach out to her.
Oliver and Vince speak privately. Oliver doesn't trust him, yet. Vince says I don't have to convince you. You're not stopping me. You know saving this city takes everything necessary and you know that means using me.
Dinah and Vince. She says something doesn't feel right. She's worried she'll lose him again. He says you won't. Kisses her. Gets on his bike.
Flashback. Dinah and Vince undercover with the criminal. Dinah offers to help maximize profits. Night, boys. vince offers to walk her home. It's fine, no one noticed. Chat outside. She says they shouldn't be seen together. He says they just think I'm trying to get in your pants. They kiss.
Arrow bunker. Felicity makes a bad joke. Diggle says welcome back. Rene still chilly. Dinah worries about Vince. Tells him to abort if he gets a bad feeling. Server room is locked. Felicity says try Cayden's son's birthday. It works. Transfer uploading. 80 terrabytes of data. Cayden catches Vince! I think we need to talk.
Cayden says you would not have a proper code to enter. Vince makes an excuse. Cayden says don't explain what you're doing here. Felicity says Vince, repeat what I say. Vince says tech stuff. Cayden says it seems you have more skills than credited you with. Vince flatters Cayden. Cayden asks if they're done? Felicity says take the sniffer and leave. Vince says after you. Cayden says join us in 5. Vince agrees. He's on his way out.
Flashback. Woman tells the boss you have a mole. He was chatty. You have a cop on your payroll.
Man stops Vince. Mr. James wants to see you. Vince takes him out. Gets outside. Transmitting now. Dinah tells him to get back to Helix. He agrees. Smashes the thing under his heel.
Flashback. Dinah and Vince in an apartment. He says we don't know which of us is made. She says we'd already be dead. We're so close. Can't quit now. He agrees.
Cayden comes out. Vince says I got a text. My girlfriend thinks it's appendicitis. Cayden needs to root out a traitor. Anatoly tazes Vince from behind.
Looking through the data. Dig asks how much longer? Rene wants to leave. Dinah's worried about Vince.
Flashback. Dinah playing cards wth the boys. Boss asks her about the numbers. Her cop photo. Your luck is up.
Anatoly holds a gun on Vince. Cayden calls him an enigma. The vigilante aligning with criminals to take on other vigilanted. Do you think I'm a fool? Vince says I've done good work for you. Got no love for Oliver Queen. He's cut. They watch it heal. He says torture me all you want. You'll get the same answer. I didn't do anything. Cayden admires that. But no man can withstand torture forever. Anatoly is given privacy. How shall we begin?
Siren following Quentin again. Thea tells him to keep moving. He says don't go, please. She says this is a mistake. He thinks she wants to talk. She says nothing to talk about. He says just listen. And watch. Footage of our Laurel. Photos. Saving people. She was incredible. I look into your eyes and I see the same warmth, kindness, love, and I see a hero. You just need to see it, too. Please. She freaks. this isn't me, this isn't me! She screams at him with the cry and runs. He tells Thea I saw my daughter. I saw it.
No Vince. Felicity says we found the bomb. Place is massive. Oliver says we need everybody. Agree? Vince activates his comms. He's in pain. Dinah wants to rescue him. Diggle says he can handle it. Oliver says we get the bomb, then rescue him. Dinah says we got him into this, we should all get him out! Fine, I'll do it myself. Vince is MY family. I'm not letting him die. Not again. Oliver lets her go. Rene and Curtis will come with her. You're our family, too. Oliver says we can't cover the location without manpower. Rene says find a way, Hoss.
**Big picture, guys. Cops know this. You sign up to put your life on the line to save and protect innocents that can't do it for themselves. Even if you die. This is the path of service. The good of the many outweighs the good of the few. Or the one.
Dinah storming the facility. 100 yards more. Rene and Curtis create cover.
Vince hears the gunfire. Breaks free and takes out the guard.
Arrow and Spartan in. Anatoly and the Dragon with the bomb. Oliver says I've got movement. East corridor. Tied up people with a bomb. Anatoly on speaker. I give you choice... Oliver kills the walkie talkie. Diggle tells him to go.
Vince and Dinah find each other. He didn't activate his comm. A bomb goes off.
Green Arrow fights and tosses a henchman. Trucks drive off. Motorcycle attempts to follow. SUVs block him. Green Arrow fighting with all the goons.
Dinah trapped;. Vince crawls to her. Healing. Cayden and Siren walk in. She blasts him. Rebar. Cayden says impressive. But we all have our limits. Let's find Mr. Sobel's. Don't make me doubt your loyalty, too, Ms. Lance. She goes to Vince.
Flashback. Dinah beat up. Boss got Vince. She begs. Accelerator explosion. They get their powers.
Vince and Dinah make eye contact. Siren screams into his head. He turns grey. His head droops. Siren doesn't look happy with what she did. But she follows Cayden. Rene and Curtis arrive. Lift the beam off Dinah. She goes to Vince. Baby? Baby, wake up. Please wake up, wake up. Rene tells her he's gone, D. She weeps against Vince.
**So......can he heal from this with time? Come back from full death? I was getting to like the guy. And Dinah's brought full circle with grief again. Losing someone twice is way worse than once.
Dinah sitting alone. Curtis says she hasn't moved or said a word in over an hour. Rene says after my wife was murdered, it took me days. Dinah says she's fine. You're not. How can we help? She says you already have, by having my back. Did they get the bomb? Felicity called. Nothing they could do. She says Vince died for nothing.
Arrow cave. Dig and Oliver return. She tells them Vince didn't make it. Oliver asks about Dinah? Diggle tells Oliver he made the right call. Felicity says we found something. The video. Cayden's son getting an arrow in the chest. Cayden buried it from SCPD and FBI. They say whoever did this is the same one that doctored the photo of you. Cayden has another traitor.
Thea tells Quentin we were wrong about Laurel. Felicity called. Vince is dead and Laurel killed him. I know how badly you want to believe in her, and I do, too, but I'm so sorry.
Dinah at home. Knock on the door. She grabs a gun. It's Oliver. You shouldn't be here. You left Vince on his own to die. Oliver says I'm truly sorry. I know what he meant to you. But he signed up for this. It was his call. She says you're really bad at apologies. He says I'm not here to apologize. We have some viable options. She says I convinced Vince to change just how you convinced me, but he was right. The only way to bring justice to this city is with a bullet. I'm going to kill every last one of them. Starting with Laurel.
Next ep - Dinah on the rampage. Cayden will detonate at midnight.
