"Thea, I see your brother was able to win you over once again. What lies did he tell you this time?" he asked shooting a hateful glance at Oliver. Thea noticed Malcolm glaring at Oliver and rolled her eyes.
"He actually told me the truth, all of it. Why did you kidnap and torture my brother and his friends?" Thea demanded crossing her arms and staring at him.
"They had information that I could not obtain and that they would not give away freely, so torture seemed to be my only option. I gave him the option to just tell me what I needed and all of this could have been avoided," he explained not seeing why it was a big deal.
Thea was about to respond to that when Oliver stepped in. "Do you have no remorse? You know your scheme to destroy the glades killed your son; my best friend! What would Tommy say if he saw what you become?" Oliver spat.
"My son was not supposed to be in that hell-hole when it was happening. I regret his death every day, but the glades needed to be destroyed after what happened to my wife. I lost my whole family due to that cursed place," he said looking directly at Oliver.
"Malcolm," Thea chimed in, "would Tommy want you torturing his best friend or the girl he was trying to save when he died? What you did was wrong? Why do you even need to speak to Sara anyway? The League wouldn't back of their chase for you just because you asked them."
"Well since we're all being such a big happy truthful family, and since I'm going to Lian Yu either way why don't I just tell you the truth. I never was going to talk to her. I was going to have the league be distracted by her death, but I wasn't going to kill her though. I was going to have somebody else do it for me. Then The League would be too distracted with her death to focus on me," he said taking no shame in his confession. Everyone just stared at him in shock and disgust.
"Wait you told me we were coming here to do a secret mission. But since you failed to find the subject we were going back today. Were you going to have me kill Sara?" Thea shouted.
"You wouldn't have remembered anything; I was going to drug you to make you do it unconsciously while under my control. Trust me I didn't want to do it, but it was going to be necessary. If The League found out your brother would have stepped in and protected you anyway," he said thinking that would fix everything. Thea's had tears coming out of her eyes.
"I trusted you. How could you…" she started not being able to finish. "Excuse me," she said running out the door. Oliver looked at Malcolm with a murderous glare.
"I should kill you right now for what you were going to do my sister, but it would devastate her even more. Felicity what time is the plane coming?" Oliver asked looking up at her.
"Um 8 A.M. tomorrow morning," she said looking back at him trying to calm him down.
"Diggle would mind watching him while I go find my sister?" Oliver asked.
"Yeah no problem," Diggle said nodding his head.
"Can I come too? I might be able to calm her down," Roy insisted with pleading eyes.
"Yeah come on," Oliver nodded.
After a few minutes they found her sitting on the roof of a building a few blocks away. She was just looking out over the city while a few tears trickled down her cheek. Oliver sat down beside her and just looked out with her. "I'm sorry. I'm sure you are tired of people lying to you. I know that's why you went to him in the first place," Oliver said.
"I know he wasn't the best person in the world, but I thought there was still a little bit of good in him. He saved me last year Ollie. That Mirakuru soldier was going to kill me and he saved me, but now it seems I was just part of his plan to buy him some more time," she said.
Olive sighed and gave Thea a hug, "I'm sorry he put you through this. I know how it feels to be betrayed by someone you trust. If you want, tomorrow at seven we are taking him to Lian Yu. Would you like to come?"
"No I'd rather stay here in Starling because right now I don't want to even be near him," she said looking at Oliver.
"I'll stay with you," Roy said behind her.
She smiled and said, "Okay, I'd like that." Oliver saw this as his time to give these two some space seeing how things ended rather abruptly between the two a couple months ago.
"You two have fun and I will see you guys when I get back," Oliver said. The two waved at him and he left heading back to the foundry. Oliver came back into the foundry to find Malcolm unconscious.
"Sorry man he started talking about horrible thing and I couldn't take it anymore," He said looking at the knocked out Meryln. Oliver nodded understanding and looked over at Felicity's computer. It was already 8 P.M.
"Hey why don't you guys head home? I will watch him tonight and we can all meet back here tomorrow at 7:30? "Oliver asked the two. After a little persuasion, both agreed leaving Oliver alone with Malcolm. "Tomorrow can't come fast enough," he murmured as he kept watch, his gun ready to shoot a dart to knock him out cold.
