Oliver, in his hood, had Nylander tied up as he managed to track him down and capture.

"What is Chase planning?" Oliver demanded.

"What you do to me is nothing in comparison to what Chase—"

Oliver slammed Nylander to the wall.

"Back to your old methods?"

"You haven't changed much, have you?"

"My techniques might be better than yours."

Oliver turned around as he faced Roy, Barry and Natasha. "Sara called you?"

"And Matt. We were worried about you." Natasha said.

"We got the highlights but maybe you should explain what you've been up to." Barry said, hoping Oliver was not going to do something brash.

Laurel's apartment

"Well, today was a complete bummer." Sara grumbled as they sat down.

"I can't believe I'm saying this but maybe we should let Oliver kill Chase." Rene said.

"No. He can't. Not like this." Laurel protested as she got up.

"Why not?" Rene argued.

"I get it, our best shot at taking down Chase died with Anatoly but at least we got the old Ollie back." Laurel said. "Not… whatever Chase wanted to convince Ollie of that he was."

"He's pissed off and angry because Chase almost took everything from him." Matt said, remembering Fisk. "I've been there before. He sees only one way right now and he's gonna push everyone away because he believes he's a murderer who has to kill Chase whatever the cost."

"If Ollie kills him with how he's feeling right now, he will spend the rest of his life pushing us away and believing every horrible thing my Dad, Chase, Slade and everyone who's ever called the Hood or the Green Arrow a cold-blooded killer, has said. And being around us is only going to remind him of who he was and who he could've been and he's gonna push us away no matter how hard we're gonna try to reach him." Sara explained.

"And we'll lose him." Rene realized.

"Forever. There'll be no way back for Ollie if he kills Chase." Sara nodded sadly.

Star City

As soon as Oliver filled them in, Roy, Barry and Natasha nodded.

"Look, I don't have time for this, so how about you let me get back to my interrogation?" Oliver snapped.

"And how about you try a different tactic? Allow me." Natasha said. Oliver shrugged as he let Nylander go, while she stepped up. "Tell me everything you know about Chase or you won't like what I'm gonna do to you."

"I'm not telling you shit." Nylander sneered.

"Have it your way." Natasha smirked and much to Barry's shock, she kicked Nylander off the rooftop as he screamed until Barry ran down and grabbed him back up.

"What the hell was that?!" Barry exclaimed.

"I knew you would catch him." Natasha said indifferently before she grabbed Nylander by the collar of his shirt. "Next time, I'm gonna smear you all over the pavement. Talk. What is Chase up to?"

Later, District Attorney's office

Laurel, Matt and Foggy sat down, defeated as they sighed. At least they didn't have to face Adrian, who was on leave because he was 'in mourning due to passing of his wife', leaving them disgusted. They entered Laurel's office as they considered their next plan until Laurel found a flash drive on her desk. She plugged it into her computer and inside it she found a video file labeled "MESSAGE". She played the video and her and Foggy were shocked to see and Matt to hear Anatoly.

"Miss Lance, I do not have a lot of time. I knew the moment that the Grand Jury decided not to charge Chase that I was dead man. Listen very carefully…"

Later, Star City

"This is where Chase is hiding out, from what Nylander told us." Oliver said as he showed Roy, Barry and Natasha the blueprints. "The place is heavily guarded and I can't take get in there alone, not with the Green Arrow being the public enemy number one right now."

"So we're gonna hit them tonight." Natasha said.

"Shouldn't you involve your team?" Barry asked.

"No." Oliver shook his head before his face turned dark and Barry shivered. It was the same look Oliver had, when Barry saw him torture Klaus Marcos and lectured him about how extreme measures are necessary. "I can't let anyone of them be accessories to what I'm about to do."

"You're gonna kill Chase, are you?" Barry realized.

"Barry, I'm not the man you think I am." Oliver said as he turned to face his friend. "From the day we met, you saw me as this… hero. For a while, I thought I could be the hero you saw me as, but I was wrong. I have spent five years in Hell most people can't even imagine. It forged me into a weapon; I am what those five years made me. I'm not a hero, Barry. This is who I am. Let me be what I'm meant to be."

Barry looked at him sadly before walking away.

Later, the Lair

"Is Ollie here?" Sara asked as she burst in with Barry, Matt, Foggy, Quentin and Laurel, while they saw Danny, Rene, Diggle, Colleen and Rory spar.

"No. Why?" Danny said.

"He's gonna kill Chase." Barry said.

"And did you try to talk him out of it?" Diggle asked.

"Not… at first." Barry admitted to their shock.

"You, the Flash, Mr. Bright and Shiny, didn't talk Oliver out of killing someone?" Colleen demanded incredulously.

"You know, I never stopped to consider everything Oliver must have been through, while he was gone and once he came back. But I always saw the way he did things. It was…different than what I had seen. I didn't always agree with him, but there was one thing I always saw about the way he did them that I always respected: he makes the hard calls, even when he has to make them alone. Even when he knows he'll be hated for it. Because he's not in this to be liked; he's in it to get the job done. Whatever it takes." Barry said as they considered. "But look, you gotta see this."

Laurel plugged in the flash drive as they saw a video file on which was Anatoly.

"Miss Lance, I do not have a lot of time. I knew the moment that the Grand Jury decided not to charge Chase that I was dead man. Listen very carefully, take this to Oliver first. Oliver, if you are seeing this, do not blame yourself. I know you will, but there was nothing you could have done. Until we meet again, my brother." Anatoly sighed before looking back at the camera.

"Erase everything up until now. My name is Anatoly Knyazev. I am the former Pakhan of the Bratva. Under American Law, I swear what I am about to say is the absolute truth and should be consider a Dying Declaration.

Several days ago, my brothers and I were attacked by three assassins known as the Longbow Hunters. They slaughtered my brothers and brought me here to America under the orders of the Throwing Star Killer, but his real identity is Adrian Chase. Chase had me brought here to use as leverage against the Green Arrow. He is working with a number of criminals, including assassins known as the Longbow Hunters and Russian mercenary known as Yelena Belova, who confessed to me that Chase orchestrated murder of Star City Police Detective Billy Malone by posing Malone as himself and frame the Green Arrow for it. And I personally witnessed Chase stab his wife, Doris Chase, when she found out the truth about him.

I tried to bring the truth to light, in spite of Chase's attempts to silence me by trying to kill me. But Chase compromised Star City's system of law. As I say this, I know by time anyone sees this I will likely be dead. I may be a criminal, but Chase and everyone he is working with is a monster, determined to bring pain and suffering to everyone in this city. I hope it is not too late to stop him." Anatoly said as the screen went black, the message over.

"Whoa." Diggle stared.

"He knew that he was going to die." Barry said. "It's only a miracle that he survived."

"OK, this may not hold up in court but if we spread the video out there, it's gonna make Chase's life living hell." Sara said.

"Actually, a dying declaration is exempt from the hearsay rule." Foggy pointed out.

"What?" Sara stared, her, Rory, Rene, Colleen and Danny confused.

"A dying man has less incentive to lie and Anatoly believed that he was going to die, when he recorded this." Barry explained.

Matt nodded. "Therefore everything he said on that video—"

"Wait, you're telling us this is admissible in the court?" Diggle demanded.

"Every single word. It's the silver bullet we need to take down Chase for good. Ollie needs to know before he does something brash." Laurel said.

"I think it might be too late for that." Barry said hesitantly.

"Wait, what do you mean?" Sara asked as Barry spoke up, making everyone's blood run cold.

Hope you like seeing Roy, Nat and Barry coming to help.

The next chapter is going to be a showdown with Chase but I'm not gonna end the story with that, since I think we all know Chase is gonna have one more ace in the hole that will lead to the battle on Lian Yu.

So, what do you guys think?
