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"...

Why are you here?

Because I want to go faster,

and you're the only one who can teach me.

Everything you need is on this drive.

It means a lot, you looking after Barry.

Barry's not the only person here I wanna keep safe.

We found Barry's double, so where the hell am I?

Reverb.

You don't even know how powerful you are.

His name was Hunter Zolomon.

I thought that if I could find my doppelganger on this Earth,

I could replace my damaged cells with some of his healthy ones.

I've been vibing Zoom, and every time it's happened,

I've been near that thing.

I saw Jay. He's Zoom.

Sometimes terrible things happen to us

when we're children.

Things that can define who we become,

whether we want them to or not.

Run, Barry, run!

Some of us become stronger.

The people who took me and helped me heal

and move past everything that happened.

They're responsible for who I've become today.

But I know that I'm one of the lucky ones.

Come on, Barry.

Not everyone gets that kind of support.

Without it, I don't know where I would have ended up

or what I could've become.

- James... - Who do you think you are?

Do you know what I went through over there?

Do you know the sacrifices I made for you?

I come back after years of fighting for this country

and this is my welcome home?

You think you can walk out on me?

I'm your husband!

You're not my husband.

I don't know what you are right now.

I am a hero, Ashley.

No. You're a monster.

Run, Hunter, run.

Stay, boy!

It's okay.

Please. Please don't do this.

- Shut up! - No, please.

No.

You're gonna want to see this, son.

No, James!

Please.

No. No, James.

No!

- Name? - Hunter Zolomon.

Father killed the mother. Kid saw the whole thing.

Next of kin?

No relatives wanted him.

He is all alone.

Follow me.

And don't dawdle.

Okay, you guys. I'm here.

- You got my location? - You're good?

You don't need to, like, stretch or something?

No, no, no, I'm good, I'm good.

Let's take this tachyon enhancer out for a test drive.

All right.

Hoo, yeah. I feel that.

That is the tachyon device powering up the Speed Force

in your cells like a quick charge battery.

- How do you feel? - Different.

Let's see how long it takes you to get back here.

On my count.

Three, two, one.

Go!

Dang, this thing got you cruising.

- How fast does he normally go? - Not this fast.

Not even close. Are his vitals okay?

Yeah, they're perfect.

Cool. It's like having a pit-stop attached to your chest.

Guys, I can go faster.

Do it.

I'm back.

What... how long was I gone?

Let's put it this way,

you just annihilated your old record.

Yeah, you went four times faster than you have ever been.

Four times?

- That's as... - Fast as Zoom.

Well, faster actually.

Hey, uh, do we think that, um,

we can get this thing smaller? It kind of sucks.

If it sucks, then, yeah.

All right, so now all we have to do is figure out

how to get back to Zoom.

Yes, uh, just a minor issue.

We closed all the breaches

and have no idea how to reopen them.

We don't... Um, Wells?

Yeah, I have an idea, Allen.

Let's keep the breaches closed forever.

Forget about the breaches. Forget about Zoom.

Wait, I'm sorry,

I thought that you were on board with this.

No. No. I said I would help you get faster.

I did not say I would help you give the man

who kidnapped my daughter and tortured her

a chance to do it again.

Hey, we are not gonna let that happen.

Oh, you're not gonna let that happen.

Gosh, I wish I'd known that the first time.

You don't understand Zoom is different than us.

Zoom is not tied to anything.

Zoom does not care for anyone.

I do.

My daughter's out here on this Earth somewhere.

I have to find her. We all have people

that we care about. Zoom will use that against us.

Believe me.

Maybe we should just leave it be.

No, no. Look, no. Look, we're...

We're not turning our backs on another Earth.

We're not gonna let Zoom

get away with everything that he's done.

Right now, there is no way to another Earth, Allen.

Let's keep it that way.

We're getting back to Earth-2.

With or without his help.

Let's go to work.

Hey, where are you going?

We could use your help.

Uh, yeah, I would.

It's just I have a date with Scott.

- That's the editor? - Yeah, yeah.

That's good. No, I'm glad that you're finding a way

to move on without anything holding you back.

You deserve that.

Yeah, and well, I would have been able

to do it without your support.

It means a lot to me, so...

- Of course. - Thanks.

Yes, for sure.

Well hey, I mean, if you don't get this breach problem

fixed by tonight, pencil me in for tomorrow?

I can do that.

Okay.

Man, I love it when you train

- in Keystone City. - Mm-hmm.

Hey, you sticking around after dinner?

Me and Wally are gonna watch Formula 1.

Mm. No, I can't.

I got to get back to the lab.

I'm still trying to find a way back to Earth-2.

Can't you just stick Wells on it?

No, he refused.

Doesn't want me or anybody opening the breaches again.

Well, I can't believe I'm saying this

about a man I shot at... And punched in the face,

but I think you should listen to him.

Why?

Barry, it worries the hell out of me

the thought that you want to go back to Earth-2.

I'm faster now. I'm faster than I've ever been.

I'm faster than Zoom.

I can take him down.

All I'm saying is,

you already escaped the hornet's nest once.

Why go back and kick it again?

- Hey. - Wally!

We got some pizza here all the way from Keystone City.

Hope it's cool I brought my laundry over.

Of course. Barry used to do his laundry here

all the time when he was in college.

That's cause those machines in the dorm

always eat your quarters, right?

Actually, I'm not, uh, living on campus anymore.

What? Since when?

Since room and board became way more expensive

than I thought.

Man, I can help you out with that.

I mean, I figured your money must be tight

after paying all your mother's medical bills.

How much more is it?

No, it's, uh, it's cool.

Come on, Wally, let me help you out.

Plus I got that mini-fridge in the garage.

You can use that, too, if you want.

Joe, I'm good. Really.

All right.

Uh, let me just put these in real quick.

Man, I can't figure that kid out sometimes.

I wonder if his doppelganger's that complicated.

Hey. Wow.
