"If a string is in a knot / Patience will untie it / Patience can do lots of things / Have you ever tried it?" My dead ma used to say that to me all the time, any time I had a problem. Now I have a problem. I guess I'm going to use that adage to figure it out. "S.T.A.R. Labs Museum". Think about it. [leaves the lab]
You think everyone on Earth-19 is missing crayons in the box, or just him?
Why don't we say what this is really about? You're okay with Barry having powers. You're okay with Barry running into danger, fighting all these metas. He could screw up over and over again, and you're okay with all of it because he's Barry. But you won't give me the same amount of leeway because at the end of the day, you just don't... trust me.
You know that's not true, Wally.
I don't need you to fight my dad's battles for him. Say it, Joe. You don't... trust me, do you?
Wally,....
That's what I thought. [leaves]
Particulae around the eye. The crushed larynx. This poor chap has got fingerprints all around his neck. He's clearly been strangled.
I heard multiple witnesses said the man was attacked by a shadow.
Huh. So a meta from Neverland's made the trip to Central City. Fabulous.
Listen,... you were right. I do treat Barry differently than I treat you. But not because I think Barry's better than you.
Then why?
Wally, you're a lot like I was when I was a kid. You're fearless, and you take risks, and that makes you a handful just like I was. And now you're getting powers. That, alone, would make me nervous because I know what I would have done if I got powers. But you're not getting your speed the same way Barry got his. You're getting your speed the same way Magenta and the Rival got theirs. So it's not that I don't trust you, Wally, it's just that I don't trust what's going on with you right now, and that scares the living hell outta me.
I hate that we have to do this. He so badly wanted powers, and now to keep him locked up so he doesn't get them, it's...
It's hard, I know.
I don't know if you actually do.
What does that mean?
All Wally wants to do is to help people. And to see you do that every day while all he can do is stand by and watch... it's hard being a bystander sometimes.
You don't... feel that way, too, do you?
Barry,... c'mon. My contributions here are limited. I don't know science. I don't have powers. I don't know how to help you.
I couldn't do this without you.
It's not true.
That is true. Whether you realize it or not, there is no Flash without Iris West.
Cait, I know what a risk you took using your powers. Thank you.
I didn't do anything.
Well, you saved my life.
You've saved mine plenty of times.
He said his name was Savitar.
Hindu god of motion.
What? How do you know that?
Crossword puzzle wizard. On two planets, I might add. 12 across, 7 letters. Savitar. Bam. Hindu god of motion.
He said he was God.
That's -- that's nice. That's not scary. At all.
I know that we love you, and we would do everything that we can to help you. You and I, we've been through too much together to let each other down now. Please, let me help you.
Like you helped your mother?
Caitlin.
Or Wally? Or me? You keep messing with everyone's lives, wrecking everything, and we're left behind to pick up the pieces from your mistakes. Some things you break can't be put back together.
Both of my parents are doctors. It's all I ever wanted to be. Growing up, I used to practice the Hippocratic Oath. I was obsessed with it. If anyone was even going to step on a bug, I would say, "Do no harm." It's built into my DNA. Unfortunately, my DNA isn't what it used to be. So, believe me when I say, answer every one of my questions, or I will harm you and your family.
Barry, you are an incredible C.S.I. and no one in this building cares more about helping people find justice than you. And that was long before you were The Flash. This lab, it's your life.
You're my life. Both of you. And Wally and Caitlin and Cisco. If these past few months have taught me anything, it's that I would give up everything I have to keep you all safe. No regrets.
Every time I think you've run out of ways to be a hero, you show me another one.

It was nice, having you out there with me.
Yeah, I never had a sidekick.
Oh, I'm your sidekick?
Well, as a senior partner....
"Senior citizen" is more like it.
Hey. You put my son's life in danger. Again.
And he saved Barry's life. Joe, why... why do you think I help Wally? 'Cause I'm selfish, 'cause I get something? I don't get anything out of it. I help Wally 'cause the kid is special. He's extraordinary. His powers are extraordinary. Look, I get it. I'm not his dad. I don't have the same safety concerns as you, of course not. But Joe, one thing I do know: the longer you deny someone their potential, the more they're gonna look for it elsewhere.
[speaking through Julian] Hello, Barry. It's been a while.
Savitar.
None of you are on your knees. It's a smart move to bow before a deity.
You're not a god.
To be a god, you just have to make people believe you are.
No one believes in you.
You should, Iris. I hold the power of life and death over all of you.
How do you know so much about us?
I know you, Caitlin. Cisco. Joe. Wally. The fake Wells. I know your fears, I know your weaknesses, I know you better than you know yourselves. I know your destinies. One shall betray you. One shall fall. One will suffer a fate far worse than death. This is the knowledge I have for you. About your everlasting damnation.
What you saw was one possibility of the future. What may be, or what may not.
Okay, then I can stop this from happening. I can run back there --
You can't go back there! Not again. Not ever.
All right, then I'll figure out exactly how it happened, how we wind up on that street, and I'll just make sure that we don't go there. I mean, if we don't go there...
Barry! This is why speedsters don't travel to the future. Nobody should know this much about their own. Just as there are infinite Earths in the multiverse, there are infinite possibilities to the future. It's always bending, always changing. Every decision you make creates another alternative.
I won't let Iris die.
The future isn't written yet. And it might not even turn out to be what you saw. You need to focus on the here and now. You have to live your life.
