The Flash

Dad?

Nora?

How--how are you...

Don't worry, Dad.

I know we've been through a lot,

but everything's gonna work out like it's supposed to.

I promise.

It's really you.

I love you.

I love you too.

We've missed you so much.

Iris, hey.

This is gonna sound crazy, but...

I think we're pregnant.

This must be why you're feelin' so sick, you know?

And since meta-DNA signatures can misrepresent HCG levels,

I gotta...

Hey, do you know where my keys are?

I gotta drive these samples to S.T.A.R. Labs

otherwise the chemical integrity could be compromised.

Of course, right here.

I'll call you as soon as I know the test results.

Cecile! - Oh, hey!

- Hey. What are you doing here?

- Oh, uh, I have a file that Iris needed

for the Kord case. Is she in?

No--um, she is...

at work already.

- Isn't that her work computer right there?

Yes, it is.

But she's been more of a...

pen and paper kind of reporter lately, you know?

Old school.

You're feeling very nervous.

- No, I'm not. - Yeah, you are.

You're feeling nervous and excited--

ecstatic, even.

Barry, what's going on?

- I'm just... running late for work.

It makes me kinda nervous--

and ecstatic, 'cause I love my job, so--

and I'll make sure she gets this,

and I'll see you later!

- Hey, I thought we were having lunch today.

- Us? - Yeah.

Th--oh, uh, y--

No, our monthly Tuesday lunch date!

- Yeah. - Yeah, oh, yeah.

No, I'm really looking forward to that.

As always. This is just a...

bag of...protein bars.

It speeds your metabolism.

I'm always hungry, so, um,

see you later.

Bye. - Uh, okay, I--

- Girl, you gettin' your art mojo on.

I can dig it!

Ooh. Okay, well, my bad.

I did not mean to disturb the artist at work.

But a friend of yours is out and about.

- Who, Mark? - Yeah.

And I just figured it was something you should see.

Why?

What do you know?

Caity told you everything, didn't she?

- Nothing, I just remembered you two fought

at that bar the night you got arrested?

- Yeah, and again the night of the Force Storm.

Well, says here that

he handed in state's evidence and got parole, so,

maybe he's turned over a new leaf.

Like Captain Cold!

- Uh-uh, I don't buy it. Not for a second.

I'm just waiting till he shows his true colors,

and then I'm gonna kick his butt

right back to Iron Heights.

- Sounds kinda like you're gonna stalk him or something.

You know, like,

watch his every step.

That would be crazy.

Great idea, Chester.

Wait, what? No.

I said that sounds like it's crazy.

I said "crazy," right?

- Now, you're a damn good detective.

You dug up more on Operation Griffin

in one week than I did in years.

And hit the same dead end.

So the last we saw your perp, Warrant Officer Adam Creyke,

was on a security camera

stealing five M18 Claymore Mines

from the barracks armory.

- Which he used to eliminate my unit.

One thing I don't get:

the explosive output in close proximity

of five Claymores?

That would have been lethal.

Creyke would have known that.

How did you survive?

- Honestly, I have asked myself that same question

over and over.

- Well, what exactly do you remember

about the attack?

Fragments.

Just...

[explosion and shouting echoing]

Screams, mostly.

[screams and explosions continue]

The heat of the explosion.

Adam's eyes.

Somehow, I could tell he knew he'd survive,

thanks to whatever his damn meta ability is.

- Creyke was like a brother to you.

What--

what drove him?

- Adam and I are both Wet'suwet'en First Nations.

Adam loved open waters.

He wanted to join the navy

and followed me into the army.

Said he didn't trust anyone else to look out for me.

- I had an uncle who used to take me fishing every summer

on a schooner.

Sailors take naming their vessels

as seriously as they name their firstborn.

Did Adam have a call sign?

- Yeah, "Rasputin." - "Rasputin."

Yo, a schooner named "Rasputin"

is registered in Midway City

six weeks after Operation Griffin.

- He's been a few hours away this whole time.

There's no way in hell I'm letting him get away again.

Kramer.

What are you gonna do when you find him?

This has to be about justice.

If this is gonna be about vengeance,

you can do this by yourself.

Lead the way.

Did you drive here?

What's up, party person?

Yo!

So, why is the Flash driving a car?

Oh, wait.

Do you have a Flashmobile?

- No, i-it just isn't safe to zoop these samples.

Samples for what?

Blood and urine

for my annual physical with Caitlin,

who is my GP.

Right...

isn't it kinda weird to have a teammate as your doctor?

Yeah, yeah, no.

I mean, it was at first, but it's cool now.

I should get to the med lab.

Hey, good luck.

'Cause Caitlin's in there running a medical consult

with...Ultraviolet.

- Oh. - I guess she accidentally

double-booked your appointments.

Yeah.

- Catch you later. - Not if I catch you first!

I get it, 'cause you're fast.

Right, yeah. - Yes, yeah.

Iris, Caitlin's in the med lab

and we don't want anyone to know yet until we're sure.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.

My lab at CCPD has everything I need

to create a neutralizing meta-gene variant

that'll track your HCG levels.

All right, thanks. Love you too, bye.

What did they do to me?

- Black Hole introduced a deliberate irregularity

into your vascular system,

one that creates a 40% decrease

in your body's ability to maintain oxygen intake.

- He made it so the mask keeps her alive

to ensure her loyalty.

- Actually, the mask is hiding the real damage:

implantation circuitry grafted to your vocal cords.

- Okay, how do we help my cousin?

So the software in the chip

requires regular software updates

just like your smartphone.

But no Black Hole means no more software updates.

So pretty soon, it'll stop working

and I won't be able to repair it.

No.

Caitlin thinks she has a way to fix this.
