Season 1 Episode 4 1:40 to 2:40 and 6:20 to 8:30. Screenshots HERE
DESCRIPTION: This time, the memory shows Five as an old man, after all his 40+ years spent in the apocalypse. He's chatting with Delores, though they do seem to be just about to have an argument before they're interrupted by an extremely unexpected visitor. Although Five is ready to shoot at any threats, he is shocked when he sees it's a, huh, actual woman. Alive. And waving at him.
Not shocked enough to lower his weapon, and he demands answer — who she is and why he shouldn't just shoot her immediately. It turns out the woman is part of an organization tasked with the preservation of the time continuum, and she is there to make an offer to him. Join their ranks and become one of their assassins, and leave the apocalypse behind, with the possibility of eventually retiring to a time and place of his choosing.
When Five questions why, if they are able to alter time, they haven't stopped the apocalypse, she replies that it's because it was supposed to happen. Eventually, Five accepts the deal.
Impressions
He was very, very broken there, and it's obvious with the way he stutters at just the POSSIBILITY of leaving the place. It's clear that somewhere along the way, though he never stopped trying, he'd stopped actually believing he'd be able to find a way back.
