All language subtitles for Arrow - 08x00 - Hitting the Bullseye.CROOKS.English.C.updated.Addic7ed.com

3, 2, 1, go....

It's been transformative

in every way that you
can imagine it would be.

The fact that "Arrow" was the first

makes it special in its own unique way

that nothing will ever duplicate.

People still need saving.

It really was miraculous.

They still need hope.

We've done a really good job,

and I'm really proud of us.

This city needs The Arrow.

To fight for this city.

We really tried very, very hard

to push the envelope...

Fight to survive.

It would be as big, bold, dynamic

as a feature film.

I think it gives people hope.

You turned us into heroes.

Beyond anything else,

what's at the heart of
"Arrow" is the people.

Being a hero is my purpose.

Family is exactly what this is about.

No matter how much
crazy stuff has happened,

it remains about family.

You put together a team of heroes.

It means something. You've
made it mean something.

It's chemistry. It's energy.

It's sometimes just got that thing.

It changed my life in
such an amazing way.

You gave me purpose.

We're just getting started.

I was just ecstatic to be
a part of the DC Universe

and to bring someone to life.

You have failed this city.

To be a part of something

that's meant so much to the fans.

When you got to do something so amazing

for eight years of your
life, you can only be proud.

No regrets.

My greatest legacy

is this team.

All of you have followed me this far.

I need you to follow me
just a little further.

That's what heroes do, right?

- Let's move.
- Let's suit up.

- I was blown away.
- That's why we love superheroes.

- I think it's cool.
- It's just fun.

- Really changed the game.
- That's when the magic happens.

It's time to lock in.

My name... is Oliver Queen.

I am The Green Arrow.

- Synced and corrected by VitoSilans -
-- www.Addic7ed.com --

The name of the Island
they found me on is Lian Yu.

It's Mandarin for "Purgatory."

Well, it all came
from, as pretty much all

good things do, from Greg Berlanti.

He had an idea for how to do
"The Green Arrow" on television.

I've been stranded here for five years.

I've dreamt of my rescue
every cold black night

since then.

It always felt like "The Green Arrow"

had the perfect
backstory for a TV series.

You knew that there was an origin story

that was happening on the island

that you could take your time with.

For five years, I've had one thought...

survive and, one day, return home.

It starts with a tragedy.

Oliver's father kills
himself in front of him

and tells him to right his wrongs.

Survive.

No! No!

And we divide that

between the island

and then our world and his return.

Oliver?

Mom.

When I read the script...

What did I tell you? Yachts suck.

Tommy Merlyn.

...pretty much what I
pictured in my mind's eye

was really in tune.

Hello, Laurel.

When I first read the pilot,

I feel like my instinct,

my gut knew right away

that this was gonna be a hit.

Oliver!

I want to introduce you
to someone... John Diggle.

He'll be accompanying you from now on.

It spoke to this bigger story

about distribution of wealth and greed.

What do I call you?

"Diggle" is good. "Dig," if you want.

So, you had this character at the center

that had returned from
conflict and was mysterious,

and you weren't sure...
Is this person good?

Is this person bad? And
the show, in some ways,

was kind of a discovery of
human nature in that way.

And just no-holds-barred.

This guy got off an
island and had a mission.

He was going just full-steam forward.

Now I will fulfill my
father's dying wish,

to use the list of names he left me

and bring down those who
are poisoning my city.

To do this, I must become someone else.

I must become... something else.

It was always gonna be a
grounded, gritty crime show

with superheroes at the forefront.

Whoa! Whoa! Just tell me what you want.

We wanted the show
to be action-packed...

- You missed.
- Really?

...and mysterious and
have edge and have heart.

How did he do it?

I thought that we had something

the moment that I saw the
first cut of the pilot.

I mean, I was blown away.

I was also really excited

to become a superhero,

because it looked awesome.

As the show evolved

and we started to fill out the cast,

it really started to come to life

in a big, big way, and it felt like,

"Okay, wow, we really
are realizing this comic

in a way that we're all
really, really proud of."

We opened up the storytelling

in a way that hadn't been
done on television before.

- Believe me!
- Marcus Redmond... you failed this city.

We really tried very, very
hard to push the envelope.

Having the action be very visceral.

The camera work had to be

- very dynamic.
- Welcome, gentlemen.

We were doing anything
we could to make it

as cinematic as possible.

Where's the transmitter?

Somewhere I can easily get to it.

What the hell's happening!

Okay, that's enough.

We're a show about real people

doing extraordinary things.

To see the real human struggle,

I think that resonates with people.

People have to care
about the characters.

Help me out! Help me out!

Roy! Stop!

The device is about
to go off any second!

Seeing characters on TV

who appear normal in a lot of aspects...

I can't leave any of them behind.

...but also just have
these heroic capabilities

really resonates with the audience.

The audience is gravitating
toward multiple things.

They're connecting with
the actors in the roles.

They're connecting with the story.

For now it perfect
characters, and I think

that that's important for people to see.

Laurel!

- Laurel!
- Stop!

You know, to be able to
be a part of something

that's impacting others in such
a positive way, it's amazing.

Thank you.

No. No.

Tommy...

Open your eyes.

And it's nice that a superhero show

was, hopefully, so much more to everyone

than just a show about
people fighting bad guys.

Oliver is not a perfect
hero, by any means.

Where we began the
series, in the flashbacks,

he went through some
horrible, horrible moments,

and, frankly, make some really,
really reprehensible decisions.

Shado was already the
first, your sister.

Laurel, your mother.

It took a while,

but we finally dealt with
him coming to grips with them

and him not letting them find him.

He's very flawed, and
that makes him human,

which is why people connect with him.

If what you're doing isn't wrong,

then why are you hiding
your face with a hood?

To protect the ones I care about.

So, Lauren Lance was the lost love,

you know, and represented
that for Oliver.

Nobody in my life is who
I thought they were...

except you.

That evolution, that transformation.

I mean, if you look at my character now

and then you look at my
character from Season 1,

I mean, talk about such a beautiful arc.

Laurel Lance, Your Honor.

I'd like to file my appearance
on behalf of the defendant.

Watching Laurel go from, you know,

this pro bono lawyer
who's a little damaged...

I'm the best me when I am working.

And when you're not?

You don't want to meet her.

She's not good company.

...to struggling with drugs and alcohol,

and then losing her sister,
hitting rock bottom...

No!

No! Sara!

...and then being
able to come out on top

and pretty much transform
into a superhero.

Who the hell are you?

I'm the justice you can't run from.

I see they've spotted us.

One of the inspirations

we were always playing
with for the show,

because he's got a bow, is Robin Hood.

I don't want to go out
like Butch and Sundance,

so what's the plan?

Shoot straighter than they do.

We knew in building
his cast of merry men

that we wanted our
Little John, you know,

that we wanted to...
thus the name John Diggle.

When Oliver started on his mission,

he never planned on having a team.

John, I could have never
done this without you.

You're the one who keeps me in line.

We always felt Diggle was
Oliver's moral compass.

It sounds like you
have a narrow definition

of being a hero.

I think that relationship is

just something people tune into.

They want a friend like John Diggle.

When I lost my brother...

I never thought I'd get another one.

They became brothers.

He was always the voice of reason,

always the logical guy,

but that didn't mean that
there wasn't a deeper level

of emotion and understanding.

You're in the field without
your head on straight.

I think this is exactly the time.

- I've got it handled.
- It doesn't look that way to me.

I just... I want her to be happy.

If that were true...

you'd be with her, man.

Felicity Smoak?

I'm Oliver Queen.

When we first saw the dailies of Emily

in that classic scene
with her and the red pen,

we just saw a different side to Stephen.

I know who you are. You're Mr. Queen.

No. Mr. Queen was my father.

There was just this
chemistry that was undeniable.

Right, but he's dead.
I mean, he drowned.

But you didn't, which means you could

come down to the I.T. department
and listen to me babble.

Felicity was kind of like
this safety valve character.

I should add "Personal Internet
Researcher for Oliver Queen"

to my job title.

Happily... I mean.

I think that what she brought out of him

and that lightness really
was one of the main factors

that allowed us to
build out my character.

Whoa!

I'm not gonna hurt you, Felicity.

How do you know my name?

Because you know my name.

You can only watch someone
sulk around for so long.

Everything about you just
became so unbelievably clear.

It was like, "Oh, this is gold,"

and it provided this whole
other color to the show.

I always wondered how I'd
react if I found my boss

shot and bleeding inside my car.

It's really a testament to Emily,

because she started the
show as a one-day guest star.

Oops.

It's incredible.

Your system looked like
it was from the '80s,

and not the good part of the '80s

like Madonna and leg warmers.

And once she entered the show,

we were able to find comedy
and humor and lightness

in a way that we hadn't
been able to previously.

There's so many intense
moments on the show.

- Surprise!
- Surprise!

To break it up with some humor
allows everyone to breathe.

Happy Birthday. E-Everything hurt...

Everything hurts, yeah.

If you can't take the
time every once in a while

to wink at the viewer...

The plane, boss! The plane!

You've got to lean
into that a little bit.

Reference too dated?

We're filled with
meta-commentary and Easter eggs.

It's, uh, a little alien,
a little "Star Trek,"

JJ Abrams style, and
a whole lot of tech.

This guy's definitely got more
than a subscription to "Wired."

His website's protected by
some very serious encryption.

I think fans enjoy those Easter eggs

and enjoy the meta
commentary, and we're fans.

We enjoy them, too.

You could use a little therapy yourself.

What gives you that impression?

You mean, apart from the mask
and the Robin Hood costume?

You mix things up enough

that when the serious moments do happen,

people go, "Oh, okay.

Alright. It's time to lock in."

Well, use that air magnet thing.

- You said that it could...
- Oliver, no offense...

but do I tell you how
to sharpen your arrows?

Stay focused, please.

I'll be with you the entire time.

Thanks.

Well, I like to say

that I am the captain
of the "Ollicity" ship.

It feels really good
having you inside me.

And by you, I mean your voice.

And by me, I mean my ear.

I'm gonna stop talking right now.

That would be my preference.

The two of them

are amazing together,

even through all their bumps.

There you go. Oh, just...

I meant to put it there,
just leave it there.

- Thank you.
- You can just...

I knew how much the fandom
cared about their relationship.

Would you like to go
out to dinner with me?

- I'm being serious here, Oliver.
- So am I.

That, to me, was the best time,

when they were just starting
to fall in love with each other.

Would you like to go to dinner with me?

Yes.

Their relationship has blossomed,

and to see the heartache
and the love between them

has really, really
been special to watch.

I mean, what do we have
to be nervous about?

Well, we've already exhausted

every topic that one
would normally talk about

on a first date, and a second date,

and a third date, and
every date, actually,

and I've already seen you shirtless.

Multiple times.

"We're falling for each
other, and we're heroes,

which means one of us could die

at any moment."

Oliver?

And that's always been the challenge

of their relationship.

There is one person in particular

that I am... grateful for.

Someone that has stood beside me

when times were darkest.

She brought out this part of him,

a vulnerability and
emotionality that you really,

I don't think, would
have seen otherwise.

She is the one who lights my way.

I think that makes that the
most important relationship

that we've had on the show.

You.

Felicity.

Would you make me...

the happiest man on
the face of the Earth?

I do believe in magic.

Yes?

Yes.

With great power...

comes great responsibility.

Alright?

Oh, come on. Spider-Man?

I'm not really into comic books.

There was so much that
excited me about superheroes.

It was all so crystal-clear
when you're young...

who the bad guy was,
who the good guy was,

what they were fighting for.

As the world becomes a darker place,

people look more and more to heroes.

I think that when you
humanize a superhero,

it sort of holds up a mirror
to the people watching.

Can you handle this?

I'm good.

Hopefully it inspires ordinary people

to believe that they can do
extraordinary things, too.

You see these characters
working through,

essentially, human things...

We've got to get him to a hospital.

...in the most inhuman of circumstances.

Everybody, at some point,
especially, you know, kids...

...want to be a superhero.

In our real lives, we need heroes.

Are we good?

We're terrific.

I've been waiting to use that.

I feel like comic
book films and TV shows

and material in general
tells some of the best stories

about what it is to be human.

I'm uploading a GPS boot

- so it thinks it's already detonated.
- Great.

I like the aspect of,
like, do what you can.

But, um... it's still
headed straight for us.

Just keep pointing the
IR receiver at the thingy.

That kind of hope that you can do it,

that you can make a difference.

I have perfect confidence
in your abilities.

Thank you.

We're seeing people do
extraordinary things,

and, yet, laugh like
us, tell jokes like us.

You guys are gonna have to explain to me

how all this works one day.

Yeah, you really don't
want him to do that.

Nerdapalooza.

Even thought most of our characters

don't have superpowers, as it were,

they're powerful in their own right,

and they bring power in different ways

that really shows to their
tenacity and their grit.

You're ready.

You can lead with your intellect,

and you can lead with your wit,

and it's not necessarily about
being physically dominating.

Of course, you can
do handstand push-ups.

There's lots of ways to make
the world a better place.

Flash storage from the
vault security mainframe?

Yeah, don't get too
excited. It's totally fried.

Not to brag, but "totally
fried" is kind of my wheelhouse.

Turn around! Put your
hands behind your head.

When I watch the episodes,

I can't help but watch as a fan.

Watching some of those episodes,

I've been, like, so pumped to be like,

"I can't believe I'm on this show!"

We have the best crew ever.

Action!

It's so grand and spectacular,

and it's so awesome to see it.

It's really fantastic, and
I'm really, really blessed.

I just thank God

these people are so
good at doing their jobs.

They make me look so cool...
so much cooler than I am.

When I watch the episodes,
it's mind-blowing.

The editing is unbelievable on our show.

Just watching everything
come together is just

kind of lightning in a bottle.

It's also just cool.

I think it's cool.

It's exhilarating to
see it all fit together.

You can't believe how good
it looks when you see it,

and all of, you know,
the lights and the music

and the stunts and
everything is all together.

When you place the
characters within that world,

and it just sings.

And then you have that harmony.

That's when the magic happens.

Whoa.

The physical demands have
been really something.

I mean, I got myself in
crazy shape for the pilot

because I was filled with adrenaline,

and I had nothing to do.

Dude was ripped up, man.

I don't know where the
next Olympics are at,

but you might want to think
about signing yourself up.

He was, like, cut up everywhere.
He had muscles everywhere.

I'm like, "I'm supposed to
be this dude's body guard?"

- Impossible.
- It's really hot.

I mean, not. It's not.

Like, for real?

How does he do this?

It's all in the core.

The salmon ladder is

a rite of passage on the show.

If you watch the pilot episode,

and Stephen's there doing it

and it looks...

Can I say badass?

It looks completely badass doing it,

and you're like, "I have to try this."

- I believe in you.
- Oh!

- Ready?
- Whoa!

1, 2, 3...

- Go!
- Nope!

Nope, nope. Help!

I'm just glad that I can still do it

after all these years.

I'm not a stunt guy.

I can do flips, and I
can do fight sequences,

but I'm nowhere near as
good as the professionals,

so I kind of let them do that.

The fighting has been the
funnest part of this show.

Action!

My body definitely transformed.

It really felt awesome.

It's good to know when
you walk down the street,

like, I can probably
kick these guys' asses.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Your job, apparently.

It's been an interesting journey
for me to become more adept

at on-screen fighting.

You know, when I got
to fight Ra's al Ghul

on top of a mountaintop...

You know, I get fired
up watching that scene,

because I worked really hard.

I didn't have a stunt
double in that scene.

I mean, I would hope that you would get

a little bit of a rush watching it.

Otherwise, what are you doing?
Like, I don't understand.

Our villains were very, very important.

Oh, you don't know who I am, do you?

All an integral part of our story.

I'm Damian Darhk.

They push our team, right?

They push our team to someplace
we've never been before.

I guess my invitation
was lost in the mail.

I'm only kidding.

It's not my kind of scene, anyway.

I think that any villain
that thinks they're

the hero of their own story...

Bad guy, remember?

...is excellent.

What are you gonna do now, Oliver?

You've taught yourself some new tricks.

Michael Emerson is a fantastic actor.

He's very subtle in
what his performance is.

I expect you can find
the most effective use

for this corpse to...

How did you put it?

Send a message.

The calmness is eerie,

and it does suck you in

because you don't know
what's gonna happen next.

What the hell do you want?

Pretty simple, actually.

It's so hard to choose
a favorite villain.

Run! Now!

I would have to say Diaz.

Just because he's so
unapologetically diabolical.

You're gonna suffer for that.

And he's just deliciously evil.

Was you afraid of what I
was gonna do to your daddy?

When you were gone?

I just dug the way he played it.

Like, I remember him being on set,

and his chair back,
it said "The Dragon."

Talk to me.

Talk to me!

Everyone just said
their name in real life,

and, no, his said "The Dragon."

I thought that was cool.

The villain who had
the biggest effect on me

on this show, it's Prometheus.

You're never getting out of here.

Do you understand?

No, I don't.

And not to mention, his music.

The music that played every
time Prometheus showed up

just sent chills down my spine.

I mean, that guy was just level-headed.

He knew exactly what he wanted to do,

and he did it with such a calculation.

Relax.

Enjoy the weather.

Did anybody ever tell you
how much you suck at life?

No.

He won.

If I die...

everyone you care about dies.

He won,

and I thought that that was one

of the cooler things that we did.

We let him win.

No, Adrian!

Yeah, my favorite villains.

Your incompetence

has now cost four lives, Alderman.

Working with Manu Bennett was scary.

Fail me again, and
yours will be the fifth.

You know, Deathstroke in general
is a pretty exciting bad guy.

Hands down,

Slade Wilson was my favorite bad guy.

You can kill me...

or not.

Either way, I win.

I always look at Season
2 as our best season,

and it was in no small part

because Manu Bennett's Deathstrokes.

I'm truly sorry.

What?

It took our series someplace else.

It took Oliver Queen someplace else.

No!

No!

Oliver suffers, over the
course of eight years,

a series of losses.

You can survive this. Make it home.

Whether it's his mother,
whether it's, initially,

in the pilot, his dad.

Impressive.

And, in some ways, even Laurel's death.

Tragedy makes this real.

Because going out there

and fighting alongside you guys...

That's what makes me feel alive inside,

and I love you guys so much.

We love you.

We love you.

All of those tragedies

were things that he had to overcome

to become the person, not the hero,

but the person that he was meant to be.

Ollie, I know that I am
not the love of your life.

But you will always be the love of mine.

At the heart of the series is
really just a sense of community

and a sense of family
and a sense of love.

Family is precious, and that it's love,

in spite of everything,
that makes it precious.

It's about second chances.

Lean in... to the
best parts of yourself.

I think it's about trying to become

the person that you
feel you're meant to be.

You are living proof
that people can change.

This is all about us
wanting to do better

than what we did yesterday.

Loyalty and truth is, within
itself, its own reward.

It means something. You've
made it mean something.

To be true to yourself
and to be true to others.

When our city looks at it,
it gives them hope, Oliver.

We have this team of people
who will fight for you.

The truth is that we won
tonight because I wasn't alone.

What do I think "Arrow" is all about?

I think it's about a guy's hope

that he can honor his father's wishes...

I thought that this crusade
would only end with my death,

but even if I had died tonight,
it would live on because of you.

...and a guy's hope that
he can save his city.

I know that this city has been
through tough times before,

and we have pulled through!

And maybe find a little bit

of something for himself along the way.

And somehow, someway,

we will survive this!

I am having the strangest d�j� vu.

You're not the only one.

It's hard to even remember that time

where it was just "Arrow"

because there's so many other shows now.

Once and for all, who would win?

Me or you?

You mean if you don't
shoot me in the back?

You got to get over that.

After about a year and a half,

we knew that we wanted to maybe begin

to broaden the DC universe on the CW,

and a character that I always
loved growing up was The Flash.

Hey. Secret identity?

I'm Barry Allen.

And do your parents
know that you're here?

When I'm fighting you,
it's literally like

you're standing still.

That's tough talk. You
ready to back it up?

We really approached the
show from the standpoint

of being fans first.

It's awesome to meet you.

Yeah, well, wait till you meet her.

We followed the model
of the comic books.

Hey, everyone!

When we do the crossovers each year,

they become a hit on
an exponential scale.

The Batman's an urban legend.

Wait. You don't believe Batman's real?

He's not real. He's an
urban legend concocted

by the Gotham Police
Department to scare criminals.

- I'm the original vigilante, Barry.
- Okay.

To me, it's just fun.

I guess I'm running alone.

The finished product of watching them

certainly makes it all worth it.

You see how much people enjoy them.

As a fan, it was so much fun for me.

I feel like we would make a good team.

World's finest.

It's cool to have new people come in,

and it's cool to see
what their stories are

and how we can all tie them in together.

Getting to be on set with
everybody in their suits

and see everything come together

and go visit all the
other worlds is amazing.

It's an Arrowverse,

so it's cool to be together in it.

And when you see all of
the different characters

from the different shows
in one frame together,

it really does make you
feel like you used to feel

when you were reading
those books as a kid.

Don't engage The Deathstrokes!
They're a distraction!

I love the new Team Arrow.

Guys!

No one listens to the tech guy!

I love the new kids.

Oliver creates this Team Arrow

that's so strong and
powerful and diverse,

and Mia does the same thing.

Let me guess... My
mom and O.G. Team Arrow

anointed us Version 2.0.

You expected things
to go a little better.

They've gone through this together.

They both have their own
struggles with their parents.

I believe that fate brought
the four of us together

for a reason, just
like it did our parents

when they decided to save this city.

And with the legacy that
is on their shoulders,

being that all eyes are on them.

Failure to comply will
result in summary execution.

Wrong answer.

And they make each
other stronger together,

even if they don't
always see eye to eye.

Hey, troublemaker.

- I had him.
- You're welcome.

We're all trying to leave
our own mark in this city...

...and do it in a way that's new

and that's different and that's us.

The ZETAs are back online.

You think?

You have her half-brother William.

You have Connor, and you have Zoe,

and you have all these
characters around her

that are a personification of a team.

What's going on?

That's a very good question.

That moment was one of
my favorite, actually,

to film with Stephen.

Dad?

Oh, my God. Dad...

I think to be reunited
with a dead parent who you

never thought you were gonna
get the chance to see again...

is incredibly overwhelming.

We are staring at our dad, alive.

To have a second chance to do that

and say the things
that were left unsaid,

I think, is huge for him.

I'm gay.

Yeah, buddy. I know.

I don't think you
necessarily realize the weight

that you're carrying around with you

if you haven't had the opportunity

to stand in front of your parent...

We hoped that you were gonna...

come out to us when
you were comfortable.

...and tell them who
you authentically are.

You clearly didn't get that chance,

and that's on me, so...

I'm sorry.

Even with Oliver having his flaws,

he constantly wants to redeem himself

for the choices that he makes.

For far too long, I judged you, and...

that was a mistake.

I think that you're a good man, Rene.

That theme, specifically,

kind of is a throughline throughout.

When it comes to guilt
and recrimination,

the line forms behind me.

"Arrow" is really, at the core of it,

about connecting with the
people that care about you.

But I'm wearing this suit again

because I think it's
a path to redemption.

And help them grow as much
as they're helping you grow.

And it could be for you, too.

What's been beautiful for me to watch is

that we started with a character
who was really, really broken.

It means a lot to me
that I've had a chance

to see the type of man you've become.

I hope you'll forgive
me for lots of things...

eventually.

Dad, I already have.

And I really feel like,

through his actions
and through his causes

and through his connections
with other people,

we've really watched him be healed.

I'm really proud of you, Dad.

Not as proud as I am of you.

I'm gonna hug you now.

You better.

I can't believe I'm saying
goodbye to you again.

Well, you're not.

Think of it as a...

"I'll see you later."

There hasn't been one episode this year

where I am saying goodbye to somebody,

whether they know it or they don't.

Goodbye, sweetie.

Season 8 has been great.

It's not just a series
finale that we're doing.

It's that the entire
season is the series finale.

Tatsu?

You know, the first seven
episodes this year is

like a love letter to the fans.

Oliver Queen.

My brother.

The way they did this season,

Season 8, is beautiful.

Welcome to Russia...

my favorite American.

The episodes feel very cinematic.

Every episode is a tribute
to every single season.

It's really beautiful.

Sweetheart...

You are a hero.

You are.

Thank you.

We also wanted to say
one last goodbye...

_

...to all the characters
that have been so important

to the series and to Oliver.

Why are you still doing what he asks?

If I'm wrong,

then all of this is for nothing.

I feel like I've given
more and felt it more

than any other season we've done.

If The Monitor can't fix this
and if he is not here to help,

then all of these things
that I've sacrificed

and all of the things
that so many other people

have already sacrificed
will have been for nothing!

Everyone's really brought their A game

in terms of creating this testament

to all the seasons
that have come before.

This is our best shot.

Suit up.

And a reward...

a big pot of gold for all the audience

that has enjoyed the show
over this period of time.

After 10,000 years,

I shall be victorious.

No, you won't be.

Such confidence.

Because of the events of
Crisis on Infinite Earths,

Oliver succeeded.

The mission is complete.

You have failed

this universe.

No!

Aaaaah!

For him to become the ultimate hero,

the person has sacrificed his life.

Oliver.

It just felt the most fitting way

to end the show.

I need both of you to
watch over my family.

Hey, Ollie, they're gonna be fine.

Alright? You're gonna be fine.

I hope that when people look

at the totality of his journey,

redemption for him was saving the city.

It's almost time.

Almost time.

There.

And, um... I don't know,

I feel like he did it.

This final episode is
sort of a love letter

to say thank you for coming
along on this journey with us.

It's a tribute to all of our fans,

and I hope they have enjoyed it

as much as we've enjoyed
playing these characters.

This city needs a hero without a mask.

It needs Laurel Lance.

I hope that the fans

that have been there from the beginning

are able to remember different seasons

that were their favorites
and different moments

that were their favorites.

Thank you all so much for doing this.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

I hope that the fans are proud
of everything this show was

and proud of the way it went out.

Everything changed.

My whole universe.

It changed.

I hope the fans are
left feeling satisfied,

like there was closure
after eight years...

Man, I really hope
this isn't the last time

we're all in this bunker together.

...and that they take it
with them for a lifetime,

'cause I know we all certainly will.

It does feel like the end of an era.

Okay, well, let's
just try to think of it

as the beginning of a new one.

I hope that they feel
all of our gratitude

that we poured into the
story, into the show.

We're not gonna let the darkness win.

So, all of us are here to
light a candle together.

This entire season, and I think more

that last episode than any other,

is a thank-you.

I really hope they walk away happy.

I just hope that they walk away going,

"Ah, okay.

I'm glad I stuck around."

To OTA... Original Team Arrow.

Sorry, I know you hate
it when I call us that.

It's growing on me.

It's changed my life more
than any other artistic thing

I've ever been a part of.

You took a bullet for me.

It was a transformative
experience for me,

and I will remember and be grateful

for it the rest of my life.

They were...

metahuman tattooed playing cards.

Now I'm part of this universe, right?

Still counts, Oliver.

For me, as a comic book,
you know, superhero geek,

it was just a dream job.

They will carry on your legacy.

Sounds like a cycle for good.

Far better than that.

A cycle of heroes.

Any time you spend the
better part of a decade

on anything,

you just grow as a person.

Laurel Lance.

Always trying to save the world.

Runs in the family.

We've been really fortunate.

It's not "goodbye."
It's "until next time."

I think there's so many different facets

that people can really
connect to with our show

and that have brought the fans
through this journey with us,

which is so incredible.

These are two of the most
genuine people in the world,

and they deserve all the happiness,

and...

I'm so fortunate to
call them my friends.

I think it's just been
a beautiful experience

to be a part of and to be around

a cast and a crew, kind
of like a second home.

This event warrants celebration.

It's very emotional. It's unbelievable.

It's end of an era.

I am just glad that I found
partners who I can trust.

That's what I'm talking about.

We're all feeling sad

to say goodbye.

You can only be proud when you got to do

170-odd episodes of television.

Green Arrow popped up on our TV...

and he reminded me that
this city is worth saving.

It's been amazing for me to
feel like I've been embraced

by the fan base in the way that I have.

I don't want to waste the
time that I have left with him

being angry.

Do you?

Everyone involved in "Arrow"

has such heart...

Thank you for letting me
be a part of your story.

...and has such passion for this story

and really cares about
making it something special.

Even if it was only for a little while.

Mia, something tells
me you're gonna create

your own stories.

I'm proud to have
been a part of "Arrow,"

the show that's created
a whole universe.

You.

You're my family, son.

I feel proud.

But sad.

You're a really good father.

So are you.

I had a good example.

It's been a family, and now we're all

going our separate ways.

I feel like I'm always
asking you favors.

Anything you need, Oliver, Always.

I think it's made for
such a unique series

that I can't imagine myself
working on its kind again.

A soldier never lets a
brother go to battle alone.

I feel like I'd be failing you.

You could never fail me, John.

Well, how long do we have?

Uh... it's... it's...
it's been everything to me.

You've always been my rock.

Don't you mean the best
man you've ever known?

I also mean that.

The friendships that I've gotten

a chance to make along the way
with the crew and the cast...

It's been transformative

in every way that you
can imagine it would be.
