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.

In an attempt to stop the evil speedster Savitar,

I was accidentally thrust into the future,

and I saw him murder the woman I love.

But I won't let that happen.

I'm going to do everything in my power

to change the future, and I'm the only one

fast enough to keep her alive.

I am The Flash.

Previously on "The Flash"...

You wanna open S.T.A.R. Labs to the public?

In two weeks? Soft open.

- I'm Alchemy. - Turning innocent people

into meta-humans worshipping the Savitar?

An article used to be written by Iris West-Allen.

Something's changed with our future.

- Barry. - No!

What you saw was one possibility of the future.

Then I can stop this from happening.

I... I don't understand. Where are we?

Home. I don't know...

what's gonna happen in the future.

All I know is right here, right now,

I wanna spend every moment I can with you.

Don't!

- Don't do this! - Barry...

You lose, Barry.

No!

Babe, are you okay?

- Yeah... - Yeah.

Just a bad dream.

Go back to sleep.

Yeah, sure. I'm not completely wide awake

after hearing you scream in your sleep.

You wanna talk about it?

No, you know what I wanna do?

Hmm.

I wanna unpack.

It's been a month.

Do not change the subject, Bartholomew.

- Bartholomew? - Mm-hmm.

Am I in trouble?

Well, this is the third night in a row.

I know something else that's happened

three nights in a row.

It's a fire.

Richmond Heights.

Go, Wally's gonna beat you there.

- What? - I just...

I just really love you.

Detective Patterson just ran inside.

He hasn't come out yet. The fire department will not

make it here on time.

Help!

I'm trapped in here!

We gotta get him out of here.

This place is up in flames any second.

You see the soot around this door?

- Yeah. - 'Cause the fire has

no ventilation, so if we open the door now,

the sudden inrush of oxygen will cause an explosion.

Help!

Okay, so what do we do?

Create an exit point for the heat and smoke,

and remove all the oxygen at the same time.

- Which will put out the fire. - Help me!

When I say so, open the door, all right?

Now.

Flash, thanks.

Two of 'em.

Oh, man, that was so dope. How do you stay so calm?

You're like scary calm in the middle of a fight.

It's just experience, Wally.

That's why it's important for you to shadow me for a while,

and try to learn everything I know.

And then I get to kick some ass.

Let me give you some advice, Wally.

Being a superhero's not about kicking ass.

Well... nope, actually that's a straight-up lie.

There's a lot of ass-kicking involved.

Just keep doing what you're doing...

watching me. You're doing great.

I gotta go to breakfast with Dad,

but I'll catch up with you guys later.

Yo, that's where... mm... Nope.

- You okay? - My suit goes there.

Ah, two suits, one mannequin.

That is what we call a conundrum.

No, I...

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah, these things have just been on the fritz lately.

It makes me feel like a criminal.

Hasn't been on the fritz, okay?

Uh, maybe if you charge the battery, like I told you to.

Oh, I'm just supposed to hook myself up to an outlet,

like I'm some sort of human tablet?

Either you charge the cuffs,

or you go all Frozone on us again.

Or... you could fix them for me?

Or I could fix 'em.

- Sumptuous day, brethren. - Oh, boy.

- Good morning, H.R. - Oh, not just good.

It's g-r-r-eat, and why is that?

Because I'm finally ready to announce

that the new S.T.A.R. Labs museum

is ready for its opening...

soft opening... so come.

Let's take the tour.

This could've been avoided. You know that, right?

Mm-hmm.

I just don't see why you're defending the yellow guy.

Yes, he goes everywhere The Flash goes,

but this morning, for example, he's just standing back,

waiting for the warehouse to burn down.

Well, maybe he's training with The Flash.

- You know, learning the ropes? - Okay, well, we send

rookie cops out on patrol, expect them to perform.

Look, I think the yellow guy's gonna surprise you.

Once he gains a little bit of experience,

he's gonna give The Flash a run for his money.

You know what I think? I think maybe he's just not that fast.

- Or maybe he's just a coward. - You don't get paid to think.

- And Kid Flash ain't no coward. - Kid Flash? Okay.

There it is. The name says it all.

Hey, I say we just send him to Keystone.

We already have a Flash.

Wally.

- Did you hear any of that? - Any of what?

Nothing, it was just a cop being stupid.

- Take you to breakfast? - Please.

- Behold. - Whoa!

- You did all this? - Yeah.

Well, I don't wanna take all the credit.

I'm too modest to do that, but yeah.

Uh, who exactly is paying for all this?

That's a great question.

Olga!

Allow me to introduce you to your new coworkers.

Everybody, this is Olga.

- Da. - Hi.

Oh, and she doesn't really speak English so much,

but she's great. So right over here,

we have the ticketing and the admissions.

Over there, our specialty coffees...

Oh, uh, that reminds me. Caitlin...

Initially, I had you targeted for ticketing,

but it occurs to me, with a few lessons in foam art,

you could very well man up... excuse me... woman up

our cappuccino stand. What do you think?

H.R., I think Caitlin's gonna have plenty to do as it is.

Can I ask you a question?

Do you want to eat pizza pockets for every meal

for the rest of your life? You don't; nobody wants that.

What you want is an income,

and we collectively need a cover for S.T.A.R. Labs

for our continued operation.

He makes some good points.

Now for the pièce de résistance...

Welcome to S.T.A.R. Labs.

I'm sorry, did you make a hologram of me?

Oh, Francisco, you made it perfectly clear

you didn't want to be a tour guide.

You're not. You're a virtual tour guide.

Guess what. That falls under the umbrella

of not wanting to be a tour guide.

- On we go. - My name is Francisco Ramon.

I wasn't always the esteemed engineer you see before you.

It was my love of science

that allowed me to overcome my tough upbringing

and join S.T.A.R. Labs, before our beautiful

and handsome founder, Harrison Wells, stepped down.

I hope my love of science will inspire some among you

to join the scientific community.

- Wow. - Thanks.

Here's the thing.

I don't sound anything like that.

My love of science... my love of science...

- Uh-oh. - My...love...of...science.

Yeah, I'm gonna need you to take a look at that.

I can't do it...

'Cause I have important things to do, so...

- Oh, wha... oh, hey! Ugh! - Right now, so...

Guys, I gotta run an errand. See ya later.

Where you going?

- Ah, hello you. - Hey.

Am I in for another kidnapping?

Okay, I deserve that.

No, um, I just came to check on you.

We haven't seen much of you since Christmas.

That's very sweet of you. I'm doing well, thank you.

You know, what Savitar did... forcing you to hurt people...

Savitar was controlling me, okay?

As far as I'm concerned, my conscience is clear.

Really?

Then why the Zolpidem? Are you having trouble sleeping?

Why don't we stop playing games, Dr. Snow,
