The Flash

My name is Barry Allen,

and I am the fastest man alive.

To the outside world, I'm an ordinary forensic scientist,

but secretly, with the help of my friends at S.T.A.R. Labs,

I fight crime and find other meta-humans like me.

I hunted down the man who killed my mother,

but in doing so, I opened up our world to new threats,

and I am the only one fast enough to stop them.

I am The Flash.

Previously on “The Flash”...

We've got Turtle locked up in the Pipeline.

All we got to do is use him to figure out

how to steal Zoom's speed.

That might take longer than we thought.

- Why's that? - Because Turtle's dead.

You need to figure out what triggers your vibes.

Sometimes it's when I touch something

that belongs to a breacher; sometimes it just happens.

There's always a cause.

We're gonna help you save Jesse.

I'm here.

You want me to leave everything I have here?

I mean, my life...

You don't have a life here anymore.

Zoom is too powerful.

Close it. Close it now.

- No! - Augh!

Jay's death was not in vain.

We will meet Zoom again.

And the next time, I will beat him,

whoever that monster is.

Whoo-hoo-hoo.

Uh, it didn't look this deep on the map.

That's 'cause maps are flat.

This is, like, 1,000 feet deep.

Well, you want to get faster.

Maybe plummeting to your death is the motivation you need.

So to reach escape velocity,

you're gonna have to go...

that fast.

Well, that fast is impossible. I can promise you that.

Ah, “Nothing in life is promised except death”"

- Edgar Allan Poe? - Kanye West.

If it makes you feel any better, Evel Knievel

cleared a line of cars that was twice this long,

and he didn't even have superpowers,

unless you count that sweet-ass ride.

- Do you hear yourself? - What?

Look, you're gonna be fine.

I'm 80% sure of it.

- Okay. - 76.

Like, a strong 72.

I can't stop, Caitlin, help.

If you don't feel ready, you probably shouldn't do it.

Not helpful.

Look, Zoom's still out there.

And once I find a way back to Earth-2,

I have to be faster than him.

And, I mean, right now... I wasn't even

fast enough to save Jay.

I have to try.

He's gonna make it.

- No! - Oh, damn.

“Why'd you have to bring those drones along, Cisco”"

“Oh, I don't know.” You're welcome, everyone.

Signed projects, including releases

of solo albums.

Pop music would never be the same

after Beyoncé left Destiny's Child.

Wait, that doesn't make any sense.

They mean Senator Knowles?

Scooch.

What?

So how'd it go?

Well, he's not a red splat on the side of a mountain.

That's our new definition of success?

It's one of them.

So, you didn't make the canyon jump?

No. What else can we try?

A bigger canyon?

Okay, fine, no more canyons.

I know I crack this.

I've just been going about it wrong.

I need to find my leg up. Have we factored in drag?

Wells, can we rerun the simulation?

Let it go for now.

Zoom's still out there.

He's terrorizing a whole world full of people, your world.

You know, I'm not doing this for fun.

Barry, we've been working on this all week.

You're tired, we're tired.

Yeah, what we need is some downtime.

Downtime leads to increased productivity,

ergo we have to have fun.

And the best way to have fun

is for us to go out to the club.

Am I right, Team Flash?

Let's get turnt!

No, but seriously, we need a break.

You know, I think Cisco's right,

and if I'm saying we need a break,

then you know it's serious.

All right, let's go out tonight.

Oh, yeah. Can I go?

Over my dead body.

Look, just 'cause you're stuck in this lab all day

doesn't mean I should be too.

Over my rotting corpse.

Look, what happened to trying new things, meeting new people?

You said I should start a life here, right?

And Zoom's over there, and we're over here,

so there's nothing to worry about.

There's always something to worry about.

Okay, well, you said Barry and them are good people

and I should get to know them.

- I did. - Yeah.

And you know they'll keep me safe no matter what.

Look, I have a life to live, Dad,

and whole world to explore.

Please?

Please?

Fine.

But if you're gonna go, you should take protection.

Oh, Dad,

I don't need... I don't know what you thought

I was gonna be doing, but I...

Oh, right.

I mean, is it necessary? It's kind of, you know...

Or I could always build you an inescapable daughter cube.

Funny.

You know I'd get out though, right?

All right, fine. I'll do it.

Thank you.

Oh, God, sorry. It keeps doing that.

My dad made me wear it.

Don't worry about it. It's all good.

I'm really glad you came, Jesse,

even though this place is less than ideal.

Hey, toast?

To Jay.

I wonder what Jay would say if he was here right now.

“What's a Kamikaze”"

And then you'd spend ten minutes explaining it.

And he'd say, “Just kidding. We have those on Earth-2.”

Yeah, well, we don't have those, so...

Eh-eh, I'm sorry, Miss Underage.

None of us plan on getting murdered by your father tonight.

- Oh, whatever, he's all talk. - Mm-hmm.

Yo, guys, what's up?

- Hey. - Hey.

Glad you could make it.

What's up, Wally?

Hey, interesting choice of venue.

The tic-tac-toe theme is cool.

- Barry picked it. - Cisco picked it.

- I... - For real?

Yeah, I picked it. I don't go out much.

It had four stars on Yelp, so...

- Okay, fair enough. - So who's this?

This is Wally. He's my...

foster, or step... adopted...

My new... this is... he's my new friend.

This is Jesse.

- Oh, hi. - Hey.

So, Jesse, are you new in town?

Yeah, you could say that.

Yeah, me too. Are you from far away?

Like you wouldn't believe.

Oh, you know what?

Would you just excuse me?

I just need to go powder my... watch.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, so I know I'm practically your brother,

and I'm, like, half Jay's size, but you want to dance?

- Sure. - Come on, let's go.

Stupid watch.

All right, buddy, you have beeped your last beep.

Something else rising also,

some dark instinct about what I would do

to the person who had taken you,

the things I would do.

So how's Wally doing?

Yeah, he's good; he's just diving into his schoolwork.

- Good. - Yeah.

I'm glad.

Oh, God.

Promise me if we ever do get married,

you will not do that dance at our wedding.

Oh, I can promise you that.

I mean, not the wedding, the dancing.

What?

I don't know; I just think it's weird

that were married in the future and on Earth-2.

I wonder what our married doppelgangers are doing tonight.

Probably Earth-2's equivalent of “Netflix and chill.”

Sounds nice. I mean, for them.

- It was The Flash! - My wallet's gone.

Someone took my purse.

Who the hell are you?

Okay, I got it. Thanks, man.
