Should you poke a caged animal? That`s a question being asked in the Season 7 premiere of Arrow, which finds Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) locked up in prison with a small army of guys he`s personally put there while under the Green Arrow hood.Two of those men in particular, Danny `Brick` Brickwell (Vinnie Jones) and Derek Sampson (Cody Runnels) have their sights set on Oliver for an interesting reason. While they most certainly want him beaten or dead--and there will be plenty of jailhouse fighting in the new season--the two also realize they can make use of him.In a new exclusive clip from the Season 7 premiere episode, which you can watch above, Brick approaches Oliver in his cell, with Sampson blocking the Green Arrow`s only possible exit. He then offers a simple deal; he and Sampson have a `side hustle` that requires three men and Oliver is their third. When Oliver refuses, Brick holds up a photo of Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) and William (Jack Moore), adding, `Here`s two reasons why I don`t believe you.`At this point, Oliver doesn`t exactly have options. As images from the first episode show, even under witness protection, Felicity can be attacked. Meanwhile, making contact with the outside world isn`t all that easy.This is the sort of situation the imprisoned vigilante will likely face more than once as Season 7 rolls on. With Ricardo Diaz (Kirk Acevedo) still looking for revenge, the threats against Oliver, his family, and the rest of the team are at an all-time high.Arrow airs Mondays at 8 PM ET on The CW.
