Synopsis: Natas puts Ollie through a brutal trial of martial combat. Over the course of many nights, Ollie hones his body to perfection and transforms himself into a living weapon. Natas and Ollie begin playing deadly games of "Tag".

One morning, Connor discovers that his father has been gone from the hut for over four days. He inquires with Natas about his location, but the aged assassin dismisses the question. Instead, he fires a gun into a nearby palm tree, whereupon Ollie falls out of it. He criticizes Connor for forcing him to give away his position.

Later, Tuckman tells Ollie about all of the things taking place in Star City. He tells him that a quarter of the city has been turned into a ghetto and that city officials have cordoned off trouble areas by erecting a large wall.

Ollie uses Natas’ resources to play the stock market, robbing several disreputable corporations of over a billion dollars. He decides that when he returns to Star City, he is going to use the money to place himself into the political sphere of influence.

Natas says goodbye to Oliver, and leaves a note behind for him. The note reads, "I have sent an army to kill you". Ollie calls Connor and Mia to attention and tells them to prepare for a fight.

Trivia

 * Ollie makes reference to a Star City neighborhood called Adams Heights. This is likely named after former Green Arrow artist Neal Adams.
