The Flash

The city is in chaos

and hospitals are overwhelmed.

CCPD advises you, stay indoors

as the violent speedster war escalates--

Iris!

I need to get back out there.

Dad!

Something's wrong.

Our family...

- - The future...

It's all changed.

Flash has to do something

before it's too late!

Nora!

What's happening?

People are getting attacked

in their offices, their cars,

their own homes!

And seemingly at random.

So...

Godspeeds are attacking folks in their homes now?

You mean I could just be hanging out at home

listening to my Nas-Nasty-Nas,

drinking coffee, and a whole Godspeed could just--

- Ah, the Godspeeds are gone again.

You're hurt. What happened?

- They ambushed me while I was evacuating City Hall.

I barely made it out in one piece.

- Okay, let's get you to the med lab.

Chester, can you call Iris?

- Yeah, sure. - No, no.

She's still home feeling sick. Let her rest.

Frost is out there helping.

Chester, how long was it before they showed up this time?

About eight hours.

But their movements are unpredictable

and we still have no idea where they're going

once they disappear.

- Can we figure out when they're gonna come back next?

- I could start working on a predictive algorithm.

Right, okay. If there's a pattern

to their freaky-deaky moves, I'll find it.

- Even if we figure out when they're gonna attack next,

we still have no idea what these new clones want.

- The original six want your speed.

- And just as they were gonna get it,

six more showed up and saved you.

Right, but why?

Why?

I mean, how do we stop a civil war

if we don't even understand

why both sides are fighting each other?

Hey.

Has anybody heard from Joe?

He left town with Kramer hours ago.

I haven't been able to get ahold of him.

I think I know why.

This Godspeed war is causing a buildup of electricity,

shielding Central City in what's essentially

a faraday cage.

Any electronic signal is being totally contained inside.

So no one in the city

can text or call the outside world right now.

I'm sorry.

- Cecile, if there's one thing Joe knows how to do,

it's take care of himself.

And right now, anywhere's safer than Central City.

Ah.

You got out.

Two against one.

Not fair.

Time to go hunting.

So that was Creyke.

How did you know he had us in his sights?

That light.

I'd recognize the signature

of Adam's pulse rifle anywhere.

You okay?

I'm alive, so I'm good.

We need to get backup, though.

Damn it.

I can't get a signal.

- He's jamming cell service to keep us isolated.

Which means he knows we didn't die in that blast.

We need to keep moving.

Easy.

You still have six broken ribs

and some internal bleeding.

- Another hour of speed healing, I'll be fine.

Those Godspeeds will be back soon.

I need to be ready. - Look...

I've patched you up enough times to know

that this isn't about some broken bones

or clones, or...

even Iris being under the weather.

I had a dream about Nora.

My Nora, from the future.

It was the second dream, actually.

This time, she was so afraid.

She told me the future had changed and...

I needed to do something.

I know it was just a dream, but...

Caitlin, I'm really worried.

Godspeed was Nora's enemy from 2049.

If all these other Godspeeds are here now,

what does that mean for the future of my family?

What if it somehow means...

- Your Nora doesn't exist anymore.

You could...go check on her.

Run to the future.

- I want to, but I'd risk causing another Flashpoint.

Plus, more Godspeeds could show up at any moment.

- Then you wouldn't be here to fight them.

I get it. You're right.

I can't leave.

Not while there's a civil war in the city.

Maybe I can help with that.

- John? - Dig!

Barry, Caitlin.

I brought you something.

What is it?

If we're lucky,

a way to end this war before someone gets killed.

It's called an entropy trap.

And hopefully, it's gonna save your city.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

So you're saying that John Diggle

is gonna help us end the Godspeed war?

AKA Spartan,

AKA Oliver Queen's right-hand man,

AKA the heart and soul of Team Arrow?

- Yeah.

And this is something that Cisco cooked up

after you called him and gave him the 411 on Central City.

- Dig, when we reached out for help,

I had no idea he was gonna send you.

He didn't.

I volunteered, man.

You're fighting a war, Barry.

I know something about that.

- And with a battle-tested soldier

like you on our side,

we're gonna win.

This motion-detection plate

has a response time

of a picosecond.

And now it's live.

Hey, do you mind handing me that thing?

Oh, yeah, absolutely!

I mean, like, absolutely I don't mind kinda--

I'm the new guy, by the way.

Chester.

Big fan, man, big fan.

Thanks.

All right, guys, you might want to stand back.

Whoa, dog!

So the plasmatic wave eliminates

all entropy from any object

or person.

Yup.

Freezing it in time.

Guys...

If we could trap one of these Godspeeds,

find a way to communicate with it...

- We can find out what they want

and why they're fighting.

And end this thing.

Once we've caught one,

we'll bring it back here for questioning.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You want to invite the enemy into your house, Barry?

Is that a good idea?

- Look, these new Godspeeds saved my life last night.

If there's any chance of finding allies in this war,

it's with them.

Right.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Let's go catch a speedster.

- This band is made of the same metal alloy as your mask,

so your body won't reject it.

It'll maintain the laryngeal structure.

All right, you're good to go.

No more updates, no more surgeries.

I'll let you two catch up.

You going somewhere?

I have work to do.
