She's dead because of me. Five years ago, I could have cured Slade, and that would have prevented all of this. And now, all the people left that I care about, we're all in his crosshairs. It ends tonight.
How?
I turn myself over to Slade. I end this vendetta.
Oliver, you think this ends with you turning yourself over to Slade?
Yes, I do. After she was gone... he told me that one more person had to die, and then it would end. This ends for Slade when he kills me.
I don't accept that. You shouldn't either. You can't just accept things, Oliver. If I had accepted my life, I would be a cocktail waitress in Vegas like my mother, and I never would have gone to college, and I never would have moved a thousand miles away to work at Queen Consolidated, and I never would have believed some crazy guy in a hood when he told me I could be more than just some IT girl. Please, don't do this.
Felicity...someone once told me that the essence of heroism is to die so others can live.
It's not that simple, Oliver.
Yes, it is. Slade's whole plan was to take everything from me, and he did. He wins. All that's left is for me to die.
No, there has to be another way.
There isn't.
