Dr. Fate's final act
was to restore my martian abilities.

So I will continue to protect and serve
using every tool I've got.

This blood confirms my suspicions.

7

[Waller] Agent Mercer,
we have a lot to catch up on.

There's an army of heroes growing.

15
00:00:45,337 --> 00:00:46,377
Someone's collecting them.

16
00:00:47,005 --> 00:00:48,173
It's a question of who.

You could use some conflict resolution.

Rule number one,
you don't shoot your date.

28

Rule number two,
think about your wardrobe choices.

You're one to talk.

Oh, no, don't get me wrong.
I love black on black.

Didn't you see my texts? I lost Oliver.

That's because someone's hidden it,

in John's pocket was government-issued.

Why would the government
take green arrow?

it better not be for tax evasion.

was covering for them.

Nope. No name.

166
00:16:53,387 --> 00:16:55,431
Just that her organization
was called checkmate.

167
00:16:55,515 --> 00:16:57,099
Wait a minute. Checkmate?

168
00:16:58,434 --> 00:17:01,187
When Sylvester Pemberton
from the justice society was murdered,

169
00:17:01,270 --> 00:17:04,565
he warned me that, "they came after us
and they'll come after you."

170

His dying word was "check."

If he meant checkmate,

these are the same people
who took down the jsa.

that was taken from the cameras
across the city.

175
00:17:14,367 --> 00:17:15,952
This was taken a few hours ago.

176
00:17:21,707 --> 00:17:24,027
That was right after I confronted him.
Who's he talking to?

He's the ceo
of a consumer manufacturing company.

180
00:17:31,884 --> 00:17:34,428
He seems pretty high-profile
for a secret-agent man.

181
00:17:34,512 --> 00:17:35,638
Maybe they recruit people

182
00:17:35,721 --> 00:17:37,324

in the private sector.

about checkmate

- I need your help.
- To do what?

354
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,045
Chase down rumors and ufo stories?

355
00:29:15,128 --> 00:29:16,463
What if I have proof?

356
00:29:16,964 --> 00:29:18,423
Actual alien blood?

357
00:29:19,007 --> 00:29:21,551
The keystone to world war III.

358
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,847
Maybe these aliens aren't here
to start a war.

359
00:29:25,931 --> 00:29:28,475
If you don't stand with us,
you stand against us.

360
00:29:29,476 --> 00:29:31,979
It's time for you to pick a side.

361
00:29:32,062 --> 00:29:34,940
Maybe this will help
your indecisiveness.

362
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:41,780
Stand ready for immediate orders.

363
00:29:44,491 --> 00:29:45,993
Let her go.

364
00:29:46,076 --> 00:29:47,286
I'm not being unreasonable.

365
00:29:48,370 --> 00:29:54,042
If you step fonnard, out of the shadows,
I will let watchtower go.

366
00:30:01,508 --> 00:30:02,759
Release her now.

367
00:30:03,385 --> 00:30:05,262
You sure are nice to look at.

368
00:30:06,972 --> 00:30:10,183
But I like to have my cake
and eat it too. Mm.

369
00:30:12,602 --> 00:30:15,147
I want your loyalty to checkmate.

370
00:30:15,981 --> 00:30:18,942
Ah, anything happens to me
and bye-bye, blondie.

371
00:30:20,861 --> 00:30:22,154
I know you're fast.

372
00:30:23,030 --> 00:30:26,116
But you can't stop a bullet
when you don't know where she is.

373
00:30:27,326 --> 00:30:28,327
That would be murder.

374
00:30:29,953 --> 00:30:31,371
It's not murder. It's strategy.

375
00:30:31,955 --> 00:30:34,666
Something you could have used more of
before coming here.

376
00:30:35,625 --> 00:30:36,752
What more do you want?

377
00:30:39,171 --> 00:30:42,466
The location
of watchtower's central database.

378
00:30:45,677 --> 00:30:48,096
You're after everyone
who's ever worked at watchtower.

379
00:30:48,180 --> 00:30:49,973
Names, faces, addresses.

380
00:30:50,057 --> 00:30:53,185
The black canary, impulse,
aquaman, cyborg.

381
00:30:54,686 --> 00:30:58,357
I need people with the abilities
to end the war quickly and decisively.

382
00:31:01,109 --> 00:31:02,152
It's your move.

383
00:31:15,916 --> 00:31:18,460
[Clark] Even if I gave you
watchtower's database,

384
00:31:18,543 --> 00:31:20,087
you know I'll come after you.

385
00:31:21,129 --> 00:31:22,506
The blur.

386
00:31:22,589 --> 00:31:26,051
He patrols the streets of Metropolis,
protecting every citizen he can.

387
00:31:26,134 --> 00:31:31,807
But he... he lets the most valuable ally
fend for herself.

388
00:31:31,890 --> 00:31:33,183
I did not abandon her.

389
00:31:33,266 --> 00:31:34,266
Didn't you?

390
00:31:35,310 --> 00:31:38,271
You left your greatest asset vulnerable.

391
00:31:41,525 --> 00:31:45,237
All you have to do to save her life
is give one simple address.

392
00:31:46,571 --> 00:31:48,407
[Alarm sounding]

393
00:31:53,578 --> 00:31:55,163
[Brenner] Come in, white queen.

394
00:31:55,247 --> 00:31:56,748
Come in, white queen.

395
00:31:59,918 --> 00:32:01,753
I'm showing external power breach.

396
00:32:02,796 --> 00:32:04,464
Am I clear to shoot? Over.

397
00:33:02,689 --> 00:33:04,649
Boy, am I glad to see
your friendly face.

398
00:33:06,568 --> 00:33:07,777
Did you, uh...

399
00:33:07,861 --> 00:33:09,571
No. I didn't tell her anything.

400
00:33:09,654 --> 00:33:10,654
At least we have that.

401
00:33:12,282 --> 00:33:13,825
I'm sorry, Chloe.

402
00:33:14,659 --> 00:33:15,911
I'm sorry for everything.

403
00:33:16,953 --> 00:33:19,633
I think we're both a day late
and a dollar short in that department.

404
00:33:22,459 --> 00:33:23,585
But I abandoned you.

405
00:33:24,294 --> 00:33:25,962
I keep seeing you on the sidelines,

406
00:33:26,046 --> 00:33:28,966
but the truth is, with watchtower,
you're right in the middle of the game.

407
00:33:30,467 --> 00:33:33,512
You didn't abandon me, Clark.
You pushed me out of the way.

408
00:33:34,679 --> 00:33:36,159
Maybe I thought you'd be safer there.

409
00:33:36,223 --> 00:33:37,891
Maybe you just didn't trust me.

410
00:33:39,684 --> 00:33:41,603
I've broken your confidence
in me, Clark.

411
00:33:41,686 --> 00:33:44,481
You saw watchtower as big brother
and you turned away.

412
00:33:44,564 --> 00:33:47,484
And the less you confided in me,
the less you have to depend on me.

413
00:33:49,110 --> 00:33:50,529
It's smart...

414
00:33:50,612 --> 00:33:51,612
Probably.

415
00:33:53,573 --> 00:33:55,075
I didn't give you enough credit.

416
00:33:57,410 --> 00:34:00,830
You're the one who brought us together.
You're the one who saw our potential.

417
00:34:06,670 --> 00:34:08,755
That potential's gonna be short-lived.

418
00:34:08,838 --> 00:34:10,257
Waller saw our faces

419
00:34:10,340 --> 00:34:12,050
and she's not gonna stop
coming after us.

420
00:34:27,941 --> 00:34:30,151
Tell me you caught them.

421
00:34:30,235 --> 00:34:33,280
I can't wait to see the defeat
on their faces.

422
00:35:05,854 --> 00:35:07,480
I didn't think you were gonna show.

423
00:35:08,398 --> 00:35:10,900
Well, you know,
I figure it's a public place.

424
00:35:10,984 --> 00:35:12,904
There's only so many weapons
you can throw at me.

425
00:35:15,196 --> 00:35:16,197
I'm sorry.

426
00:35:18,074 --> 00:35:21,328
For everything I've done
that's destroyed your trust.

427
00:35:24,748 --> 00:35:26,908
I don't think there's enough stationery
for that, Tess.

428
00:35:30,795 --> 00:35:33,006
I told you how to shut down
the castle's power grid.

429
00:35:35,258 --> 00:35:37,177
That's worth something, isn't it?

430
00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:43,767
What am I supposed to do here?
You want me to do handstands

431
00:35:43,850 --> 00:35:46,019
because you helped solve a problem
that you created?

432
00:35:47,062 --> 00:35:48,382
I never would have gone after you

433
00:35:48,438 --> 00:35:51,066
if I had known
that you were the green arrow.

434
00:35:51,149 --> 00:35:52,233
So it's back on me?

435
00:35:55,111 --> 00:35:57,697
This might be the last time
that I ever see you.

436
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:02,243
When I joined checkmate, I took an oath.

437
00:36:04,996 --> 00:36:06,289
An oath I wanna break.

438
00:36:07,582 --> 00:36:09,668
But there's only one way
to leave checkmate.

439
00:36:28,561 --> 00:36:29,562
What are you gonna do?

440
00:36:30,897 --> 00:36:31,981
[Clears throat]

441
00:36:32,899 --> 00:36:34,192
I'm gonna go awol.

442
00:36:35,944 --> 00:36:37,362
I'm gonna go underground.

443
00:36:43,410 --> 00:36:46,371
That's good. You know,
I gotta ask you a question, though.

444
00:36:46,454 --> 00:36:49,082
Did it hurt to do something moral
for once, Tess?

445
00:36:49,165 --> 00:36:50,834
- Did it hurt you?
- Oliver...

446
00:36:55,171 --> 00:36:58,049
I'm taking a chance just being out here
with you in the open.

447
00:36:58,133 --> 00:37:00,236
Yeah, okay. I understand that, okay?
We've gotten that far.

448
00:37:00,260 --> 00:37:02,029
What is it that you want?
You're asking me for something.

449
00:37:02,053 --> 00:37:03,573
What is it you want? What do you want?

450
00:37:06,015 --> 00:37:08,101
Forgive me, Oliver.

451
00:37:15,024 --> 00:37:17,360
Oliver, I need your help.

452
00:37:21,531 --> 00:37:22,699
Please.

453
00:37:30,081 --> 00:37:32,292
There are times
when I wish I could go back...

big dreams of changing the world.

457
00:37:48,266 --> 00:37:49,809
Then you betrayed me, Tess.

458
00:37:55,356 --> 00:37:56,566
You, of all people.

459
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:11,247
And if you ever...

460
00:38:12,499 --> 00:38:15,126
Come near me or my friends ever again...

461
00:38:17,712 --> 00:38:19,714
I will expose you to the world.
Do you understand?

462
00:38:40,193 --> 00:38:41,736
[Chloe] Hi.

463
00:38:41,820 --> 00:38:42,987
Hey.

464
00:38:43,071 --> 00:38:44,799
Thanks for keeping my seat warm
at watchtower.

465
00:38:44,823 --> 00:38:46,574
Ah, you're welcome.
Don't get used to it.

466
00:38:46,658 --> 00:38:48,785
Oh, but your timing is so good.

467
00:38:48,868 --> 00:38:50,370
I mean, if you hadn't flipped

Chloe...

470
00:38:53,206 --> 00:38:55,375
But, you know, I kind of liked
being out in the field,

471
00:38:55,458 --> 00:38:57,544
knowing I had a warm bed
to come home to.

472
00:38:57,627 --> 00:38:58,837
That's very, very funny.

473
00:39:02,465 --> 00:39:03,758
It scared the life out of me.

474
00:39:07,095 --> 00:39:09,180
You better be careful, Ollie.

475
00:39:09,264 --> 00:39:11,224
I'm gonna start to think
you're falling for me.

it still might.

Why not include the rest of us?

I would have told the team
what was going on.
