Complete story — includes the ending

Oliver tracks down an accountant for the secret organization and steals his laptop. While decrypting it, Felicity uncovers a link to Walter—a money transfer was made to Dominic Alonzo, an underground casino owner who was hired to kidnap Walter. The pair infiltrate the casino and Alonzo claims that Walter is dead. Oliver informs his family and Moira confronts Malcolm, who proves to her that Walter is still alive. Oliver, who was listening in, discovers that Malcolm is heading the secret organization and uses Felicity to ascertain Walter's location. As the vigilante, Oliver frees Walter. Meanwhile, Laurel asks Tommy for the truth about why he left and Tommy states that Oliver still loves her, a claim Oliver confirms. Oliver asks Diggle to help him stop the "Undertaking". In a flashback, Robert is shown disagreeing with Malcolm's proposal, which would involve leveling the Glades with a machine five years hence, killing thousands of people in order to rebuild the area. As a result, Malcolm has a bomb planted on the Queens' yacht, right before Robert boards it for China with a plan to stop Malcolm.
