Commercials. All right, I admit it. I like the V CAST pixie lady. That she drinks coffee is just icing on the cute cake.
Metropolis at night. Overly dangerous-sounding music is playing. Lex and an associate are walking down a dark hallway. As Lex waits for an elevator, his lackey says that a car is waiting for him. We hear the sound of an arrow thwunking -- it hits Lex's lackey right in the back. He falls. Green Arrow is standing at the other end of the hall. "Work's not over yet," he tells Lex. He raises his crossbow and aims at our bald baddie.
What looks like Papa Luthor's office. A piece of paper is laid on the desk. "What is this?" Lex asks. Green Arrow is aiming an arrow right at Lex's face. Green Arrow says that the contract Lex is to sign will divide his assets among the fifty global charities on the form. Yeah, like that's gonna hold up in court. Lex can just say he signed under duress and at crossbow-point. Lex asks what he's done to deserve this. Green Arrow says that after Lex's "lofty" support of the Second Chance Halfway House, he found out what Lex and the doctor were doing to the residents. Lex says he was lied to. Green Arrows tells Lex that the doctor is now dead. I guess you could blame the drugs, but why did he leave an arrow at the scene of the crime? Green Arrow accuses Lex of killing the doctor to cover his tracks. "You're delusional," Lex says. Green Arrow points his crossbow closer. "Sign it," he insists. Lex opens up a pen and does so. Or at least he tries, but he shakes the pen. Green Arrow asks what he's doing. Lex says it's out of ink.
Just then, Lex pulls a silver gun from under the desk and draws it quickly. "Drop it!" Lex yells. Green Arrow steps back, but doesn't drop his weapon. Lex asks what's faster -- an arrow or a bullet. The camera focuses from Lex's face to the gun and from the arrow to Green Arrow's face. Lex hasn't figured out that it's Oliver yet? I can understand Lois's stupidity, but I can't believe Lex hasn't put the pieces together. Green Arrow says there's only one way to find out. Slow pulling of triggers. They both fire. The bullet and arrow fire past one another in CGI slow motion. Both men are shot and each of them falls back. Smart, guys.
