Complete story — includes the ending

Oliver begins preparing to attack another individual from the list, but Diggle argues that he should expand his work and help the police stop a group of bank robbers. Oliver initially refuses, believing that it detracts from his mission to right Robert's wrongs, but eventually agrees. Oliver deduces that the robbers are actually a family unit and that the leader Derek Reston worked for Queen Industries before Robert outsourced 1500 jobs to China, causing the Reston family to lose their home. Feeling guilty, Oliver tries to persuade Derek to do the right thing, but learns that the family are going to rob another bank. During Oliver's confrontation, Derek is fatally shot. Meanwhile, Tommy throws Laurel a fundraiser to support her law firm, CNRI, hoping to prove his love for her. Oliver and Moira manage to regain their emotional connection. Flashbacks show Oliver having a dream of Robert shaming him for his idleness and reveal how Oliver first discovered the target names in his father's notebook.
