The Flash

Last season, on "The Flash"...

I'd finally come to grips with her death.

Finally at the place I can move on.

No!

My father's taken from me.

I need to find some peace.

Whatever you need to do, do it.

You're not gonna kill her ever again.

- Not gonna hurt you. - No.

You're safe.

There's only one thing I know about life.

I know some things happen by chance.

Today's the day.

Today's the day. Talk to her.

Where is she?

And some things happen because we make them happen.

Okay, just do it.

Gonna do it.

You've talked to her a million times.

Say something clever.

Channel 52 breaking news.

The latest from Central City,

where the mysterious meta-human criminal,

known only as the Rival is once again

terrorizing the populous with his incredible speed.

Need our help, Flash?

Nah. When I'm done with this fool, he might.

What have you got against my city?

The city's just fine.

It's the people in it who need to be educated.

And I have no rival!

Especially not you.

- You okay, man? - Yeah, thanks.

That guy's really becoming a pain in my ass.

Don't worry about it.

You'll get him next time, Flash.

E-excuse me?

Hi, sorry. Is this yours?

I think maybe you dropped it.

- It was just right up there. - Oh.

I don't know what happened, but...

Oh, my gosh, yeah, I didn't even

realize I dropped it. Thank you so much.

Yeah, yeah, it's okay.

Wait, I've... I've seen you before, haven't I?

Uhh, we actually went to elementary school together.

You don't remember me? PS 23?

Oh, my gosh! Right, yes, I remember!

- Gary, right! - Uh, Barry.

- Barry. - Barry Allen.

- Right. - It's fine.

- Sorry, sorry. - No, it's fine.

Yeah, yeah, no, we had, um, Mr., uh...

- Mr. Hinkley. - Yes.

Yeah, for math. Yeah, he used to

always hit the chalkboard...

With his fist.

And all the dust would come flying off.

He'd look just like...

Pig-Pen from "Peanuts."

Yeah, that's...

Yes. How are you?

I'm really good.

Yeah, I'm, uh, CSI.

I work over at, uh, CCPD.

Yeah, um, my... My dad works there, too.

- He's a detective. - Yeah, I see him sometimes.

I don't really know him, but I, you know,

- see him in passing. - Cool, yeah.

Um, well, thanks again.

I guess you're my hero today.

Glad I could be there for you.

You know what? Uh, would you wanna get a coffee?

I mean, I know you're having a coffee right now.

I meant, like, you know, at a different time.

With me. Or it doesn't even have to be a coffee.

It could be any kind of beverage,

like a wine or a beer, or...

Not that I wanna get you drunk.

We... we could get iced tea. Do you like iced tea?

Do... would you wanna get an iced tea with me?

Um...

- Yes, yes. - Yeah?

Yes, I would like to get an iced tea with you.

- Okay. - Barry Allen,

you're very cute, you know that?

- Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, but, um,

you should try talking just a little bit slower.

Speed...

has always been my problem.

See you later.

What's up, Barry?

- Hey. - You look a little less glum

- this day's afternoon. - Captain Mendez,

I asked out a girl and she said yes.

Ah, there's no better feeling, is there?

- No better feeling. - Well, until the day

she says, "I do".

Yeah, we got a ways to go before that, I think.

Great, well that'll give you a lot of time to catch me up

on where we are with the Rival.

Nothing substantive. He hasn't left

any hair or skin samples at any of his attacks

- on the CCPD. - So you're telling me

there's no way to ID this guy.

We'll figure out who he is when The Flash stops him.

Well The Flash better hurry up.

Pun intended.

Okay.

All right.

Has anybody seen Detective West?

You know, I think he had to stop by evidence.

- Uh-huh. - I don't know

where he is, actually.

Sorry.

Oh, Captain, is it okay if I leave a little early today?

- For your hot date? - No, I'm, uh, just

meeting a friend for dinner.

Barry!

No!

You're not gonna kill her this time.

You're not gonna kill her ever again.

It's okay. It's okay.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

You're safe now. Okay?

Dinner.

There better be curly fries in there.

Yeah, human beings can go almost three weeks without food

so I'd sound a little bit more grateful if I were you.

Well, you wouldn't do that to me, Barry.

After all, you're the hero.

Or did you forget that?

Too busy leading your reverse "It's a Wonderful Life"?

Reverse, huh?

That's irony for you.

So, uh, what should we call this, uh,

brave new world that you've whipped up for us?

I was thinking...

Flashpoint.

So you don't want this?

You may have figured out a way to dampen my speed

with this glass cage, but I will get out of here

and I will destroy your life, Flash, one way or the other.

No, you won't.

Ah, you're never getting out of here.

And you're never gonna hurt anybody ever again.

I have everything back that you took from me.

I have everything Zoom took.

I'm finally free.

I'm home.

This isn't your home, Barry.

This is a mirage.

A fiction that will end us both,

unless you let me the hell out of this thing!

Well,

you're not listening, Don.

Why would I want to get out of here?

I'm whole, here.

There's even a Flash, so I don't have to be.

Yeah, who is this dashing young speedster, huh?

Do you know? You even care?

While you sit around and hide

like a lost, lonely little boy,

letting someone else risk their life

to protect the city, our common enemy

is coming for us both.

What common enemy is that?

Time.

It's already screwing with you

and everyone you love.

And pretty soon, it's gonna take me

right down along with you.

Wow.

Wow.

You know,

you've got some nerve.

I'll give you that.

Warning me about messing with other people's lives.

You... you know the whole reason I did this

is because of what you did to my life.

To my family.

To my mother.

Yeah, well, one day, soon, Barry,

you'll be begging me to kill her again.

- Can you hold this for me? - Oh, yeah.

Oh, I wanted to tell you, the car's making these noises,

like a... kind of a clanking noise...

- Do you wanna drive? - Whatever you want.

- Hey, slugger. - There's my beautiful boy.

Is everything all right?

Yeah.

Everything's great.

- Mornin'! - Morning, Barry.

Mornin'.

Ah. Looks good.

- Hey. - Muah.

What is up with you?

- What do you mean? - Lately, you hug me

every morning as if it's the first time

you've seen me in months.
