What is Malcolm Merlyn's endgame here? We know Darhk wanted to destroy the world, but Merlyn's harder to place. His goal really seems to be ensuring the survival of him and his daughter, and he'll do whatever necessary.

It makes his current placement on the show a little weird, as he kind of exists in the background, occasionally coming to the fore to engage in some conflict or, like last week, actually start helping people escape the crumbling world they were trapped in.

He's been aligned with Darhk, but won't want the world to end without his survival ensured, so what's he going to do in the finale?
