Is the relay down, Overwatch?
Oh, so down, it's in Australia. Emiko can't trigger the devices now.
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
Well, since we're on the subject of good-byes, we have an announcement, too. Hmm?
We're stepping back. We're leaving Star City. Not forever, but, uh, for now.
You just saved the city. You don't want to take a victory lap?
I didn't do anything. Our team did.
The fact that the city if safe is the reason we can leave.
I've spent a long time thinking about my legacy as the Green Arrow. I always hoped it would be saving the city. But now I know that my greatest legacy is this team. I started this mission alone. I was certain that I would end it alone, but the truth of the matter is that every bit of success that I've had along the way is because of all of you. The city if safe because of your courage, your compassion, your selflessness, and your loyalty.
Courage, compassion, selflessness, loyalty. Oliver, that sounds like the 4 pillars of heroism to me.
We should find a way to remember them to symbolize we will al be there for each other always no matter what.
Ooh, like a signal, you know. One of us is in trouble, we'll all come running, including you, Roy.
We should just call it the Mark of Four, right?
That's brilliant.
Man, I really hope this isn't the last time we're all in this bunker together.
Hear! Hear! But does feel like the end of an era.
OK, well, let's just try to think of it as the beginning of a new one.
Now? [The Monitor nods] I thought I had more time.
[Oliver remembers his previous encounter with The Monitor]
The universe is a complex piece of machinery, and balance must be maintained. One change requires another. How do you propose I keep the balance?
Will you help me save Barry and Kara or not?
No. But I will give you the means to save them.
Tell me what you need in exchange.
Whatever the multiverse requires to survive the crisis that is looming. When it is time.
[Present day]
It's OK. So what bargain have I made? What does the Multiverse require?
You assist me as we seek to prevent the inevitable.
But that sounds impossible.
The multiverse is more complex than you could fathom
What are you not telling me?
I've seen your future, Oliver, inexorable and unavoidable. I have watched you die.
During this crisis?
I am truly sorry.
No. You are not taking him.
Felicity.
Oliver.
I am not here to bring harm to you or your daughter. Trust me, the world needs her.
You think that I'm just going to let you leave here with my husband's life?
This is bigger than us...than all of us.
Why does it always have to be you?
I cannot prevent his passing, but he can prevent the deaths of countless more, including you and your daughter. But he needs to come with me tonight.
This is why we can't have a normal life. This is why our children will never have normal lives.
I had to make the deal.
Oh, there's always gonna be some danger or some threat; the League of Assassins or HIVE or the Ninth Circle or... the end of the friggin' universe.
I need you to make me a promise.
Yeah, okay.
No matter what happens to me - no matter what - you need to do everything in your power... you... you need to keep William and Mia safe.
I will keep them safe. But wherever you go... whatever happens to you... you'll never leave me. On our wedding day, you told me that I was the best part of you, but the truth is... we are the best parts of each other. And that is so much bigger than the friggin' universe.
When I came back to Star City to start my mission, I didn't think that I was capable or deserving of love. But you opened up my heart in ways that I never th... thought were possible. My only regret is not telling you I loved you sooner.
No regrets.
Would you tell Mia that I love her every day? And I know that she will grow up to be as smart and as beautiful as her mom.
I will find you... again. I promise.
I love you.
I love you so much.
Never ceases to impress – humanity's capacity for invention. Infinite numbers of worlds and not a single one where man failed to emerge from cave and hold dominion over the Earth.
You know, Oliver, it's interesting that we're revisiting where we first met. You going at it alone is like deja vu. I thought you and I were past that.
This is new. It's bigger. And I'm not going to ask you to take the risk it involves.
Oliver, that's the thing about being brothers. You never, ever have to ask.
Can you just believe me when I you tell this is different?
Yeah. Felicity told me. Some godlike being talking about the end of the universe? What didn't she tell me, Oliver?
A crisis is coming, John. He's seen what happens. He's watched me die.
TMTommy Merlyn (Earth-2)
You don't have to do this.
I was thinking the same thing. This is not what Thea would have wanted!
TTommy (E-2)
Well, that's funny. You know what she used to say?
"The dead don't want anything."
TTommy (E-2)
It's one of the benefits of being dead.
The city's lucky to have a hero like you in it.
Wow. That might be the nicest thing you've ever said to me. Thank you.
ACAdrian Chase (Earth-2)
You're from a parallel universe, aren't you? The Hood from another reality?
How did you know that?
AAdrian (E-2)
Bruce Wayne once told me that if you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
Well, as The Hood from a parallel universe, may I offer you some advice? Change "The Hood" to Green Arrow. Trust me.
I warned you not to interfere.
You didn't bring us here?
No. And I discovered what had transpired on Earth-2. But when you intervened to save Laurel Lance, I redirected you.
What the hell happened back there?
A herald of what is to come. An entire world erased from existence.
Where's my mother? Where's... where's Tommy? Where's... where's.... where's Rene? Where's Dinah?
They are no more.
Did you hurt John and Laurel?
Don't worry. They're fine, they're alive and they're nearby. But now you know that if we fail to stop the coming crisis, what you witnessed on Earth-2 will occur on infinite Earths across the expanse of time.
Question: Does that include Earth-38?
That is for me to know and for Kara Zor-El to discover. But that's not important right now.
How did I fail?! Your dwarf star particles are right there! [points to the bag of dwarf star particles on a rack]
You disobeyed my instructions to avoid entanglements on a parallel Earth. You confronted Tommy Merlyn and you altered the fate of Laurel Lance.
I watched her die once. Okay? I wasn't prepared to do it again.
That's because you were not a man accustomed to following orders. But the survival of the Multiverse requires that you obey mine.
Where are we now?
Your own Earth, where you'll complete your next task. There's a man named Dr. Robert Wong. Bring him to me.
Why?
Now that is not your concern. [Their conversation is interrupted by a desperate knock on the door] You've already failed me once. Do not fail me again. [Vanishes in a puff of smoke along with the bag of dwarf star particles]
What's taking so long?
DCDavid Chin
It's done.
Great. So you won't mind if we test it out. [activates the device, but nothing happens] It isn't working.
DDavid
Well, it should be.
Then where's the portal?
DDavid
If you want to go to Earth-37 or Earth-14, that's your decision.
I want to go to Earth-2.
DDavid
Right. [typing] Unfortunately, Earth-2... is gone. It registered at first, but now I see that it's like a shadow. There's no sign of life.
That doesn't make any sense. [aims her gun at David] You're lying!
Laurel, no!
Fix it! Fix it!!
DDavid
I'm telling you, I did!! I can fix tech, but I can't bring back a whole frigging universe!
I'm sorry, Laurel... but they're gone. You're just gonna have to accept it.
My sister, Adrian, they're my family. They're... they're good people. They don't deserve to be gone. To think that I'm the one who's done such awful things.
But you're trying to be better. Everyone deserves a shot at redemption.
Well, then maybe this is where I deserve to be.
When I was in Afghanistan, my unit got sent out on patrol on a day I drew base duty. It was a routine op. We'd done it a hundred times before. Only this time, there was an IED in the road. None of them made it back. I used to lie in bed at night asking myself "Why them? Why not me?". And I made every deal I could think of with any God I thought might be listening.
And did it work?
Not exactly. So, you're right. I don't know what you're going through, but I do know something about survivor's guilt.
Does it get any easier?
No. All we can do is try and move forward.
How am I supposed to move forward when everyone I've ever loved is gone?
By not giving up. By doing the right thing. We honor the dead by fighting for the living. This world needs you, too.
Why are you in Hong Kong? I thought you were with the Crescent Order.
TYTatsu Yamashiro
I was, until I gave Nyssa the lotus cure to save your sister, and they called for my head.
So you decided to become a vigilante?
TTatsu
My son died in this city. No more Akios will die here as long as I'm here to protect them. That explains what I'm doing here.
It's all you, man.
You should've told me what was going to happen on Earth-2. John was there. He could've been killed.
The destruction of that Earth was a necessary sacrifice.
And what about Laurel Lance? Her friends, her family...
Countless more like them will perish if we do not ensure Oliver Queen is prepared for what's coming. Were you successful?
Yes. I have Dr. Wong.
Then let us proceed.
Last year, I made a deal with a cosmic being named Mar Novu. Recently, he came to collect. He asked me to help him, but he's not very good at sharing information with the people he's working with.
Sounds like somebody else I know.
