Oh. We're gonna need the Ice Queen.
Oh, that's not how it works. I can't just --
[shouting] Leslie Laroche !!
[Caitlin's eyes glow.]
[to Iris] It's a childhood bully. There's a lot of repressed anger in there. [shouts to Caitlin] Let's GOOO !!
[Ralph has been christened "The Elongated Man" in a newspaper headline.]
"The Elongated Man"? That's just an expression.
Has a certain...
I dunno.
... je ne sais quoi to it.
I like it, too.
Well, I hate it.
Eh, maybe you should have let me do the naming.
Ex-actly.
Oh, don't worry. You'll get your chance. There's no way this is gonna stick.
[as Caitlin nods] Probably gonna stick.
[looking up the villain of the week] Sylbert Rundine.
Why does every villain in this city have a name that sounds like it came out of a comic book?
Look, I don't understand why you're not excited about this
What you're peddling,... it's dangerous.
What do you mean, what's dangerous?
Hope. I been in here long enough to understand that in prison, hope is the most dangerous thing.
Wait, did you get that from Shawshank?
No. I got that from being in prison.
[Caitlin, Harry and Joe are observing the miniaturized Ralph and Cisco.]
This is...
... ridiculous.
You okay, guys?
[high-pitched voice] "Are we doing okay?" "Are we doing okay?" Does it look like we're doing okay? We're two inches tall, Caitlin!
[high-pitched voice] Yeah, I'm, like, Cisco-sized now. Is that how you always see the world?
Oh, that's really funny, man. I guess your body's just finally shrunk down to a size that's proportional to your brain!
I see you've made a new friend.
Yeah. I guess I have.
I find that interesting. Especially since I was just asked to turn over Inmate Ratchett's case file to the D.A. who represented you for your trial. Coincidence?
Not everyone who's in here deserves to be in here.
You ever heard of the name "Aaron Miller"?
No
Miller was a prisoner here who took to studying at the law library. One day, Mr. Miller decided to take on the appeal of a fellow inmate's case. When he was invariably unsuccessful, that fellow inmate stabbed Mr. Miller to death. Your friend may look like a man, but he's unquestionably a monster. Everyone here is a monster. And if you insist on continuing to bait them, I guarantee you... you will get mauled.
Ain't good news, is it?
Rundine won't confess. My friends tried everything. I mean, the D.A. offered every deal she could, but... I'm so sorry, man. Look, you were right about everything in here. You know, I, I made you a promise, and I let you down.
You damn idiot. You did not let me down. Forgot what hope felt like. It's not a bad thing. I'll see you around, kid.
[Wolfe is giving Amunet a tour of his secret metahuman prison block.]
Mina Chaytan. Her powers bring effigies to life.
Now that is a nifty trick. Can she animate anything else? Hmm?
How about my finger?
Oh! I like her. She's feisty.
[Ralph has unconsciously transformed his body into the likeness of his former colleague, Earl, in front of Team Flash.]
[in Earl's voice] That's me. It's me. Why is that me?
You somehow willed your body to shape-shift into Earl's appearance. Seems like your cells can do a lot more than just elongate.
Ach. Brilliant. How do you undo it? [points to his large gut] Undo this. Stat. This.
Control-Z?
Control-Z. [Ralph calms down, focuses, and then shakes his body back to its normal appearance.]
Wolfe and Amunet's latest criminal undertaking throws an annoying wrench in our plans. What shall we do?
... I don't know.
You? You don't know?
My mind is consumed by a near-infinite web of variables. They're more plentiful than there are atoms in an exploding star. So, for the moment, I do not know.
So what are you gonna do when you're free? I hope it's not more of what you did to get you in here.
Oh, no. Trust me, I am so over prison jumpsuits. Orange is not the new anything. Neither is gray, neither is gray. So...
So what then?
I don't know. Using my powers just hurt those around me. My good luck just jinxed everyone else. You know, you seem to really care about people. Not like the type of person who'd... take someone's life.
I didn't kill that teacher. I wouldn't take a life. You know, not every meta uses their powers to hurt people. Some use them to help, others to protect people. Our powers don't decide who we are. We do.
Your Honor, the city has had reports in the past of people who have appeared dead only to later emerge very much alive.
That's impossible!
Impossible. Your Honor, is it as impossible as a man who can run faster than the speed of sound? I submit that Central City is home to the impossible.
Question for the room: How did I get stuck doing the buddy system thing with Ralph?
[whispering] It's the best way to keep Ralph safe, Cisco.
[low voice] Yeah. It's the best way to keep Ralph safe, Cisco.
Well, clearly you've never had to stay over in an apartment that uses neon beer signs for lamps and the kitchen sink for a shower. Ralph, I love you, but you sleep on a futon.
A futon's not that bad.
It is when it's damp!!
Why is it damp?
I sweat a lot when I sleep.
You're nasty
I think I'd remember seeing you on my bus.
Actually, I was kind of, big-boned back then. I was on a strict diet of gin, donuts, and regret. But I got another shot at it. And I worked my tight butt off, and now I'm the hottest superhero in town. My life has never been better, kind of like yours.
Yeah, but aren't you afraid of losing it all?
Yeah, I am. Which is why I'm a part of this team. You said that your family bailed on you, so I can understand why you wouldn't trust someone to look out for you. But Izzy, I can tell you first-hand that these amazing weirdos, they won't bail. They created a buddy system for me, and if you'll stay, they'll keep you safe. I promise.
So? Who's gonna be my buddy then?
I may have to pull some strings, but I will see if I am available.
Iris, you weren't at Iron Heights. I saw up close what DeVoe did. To Becky. To all of them. And I couldn't do anything except... just stand and watch it happen. DeVoe is ruthless. He's not gonna stop until he's taken her powers and her life. He's not gonna go easy on her, so neither can I.
I am so sorry that you had to experience that. But Barry, we can't be ruthless like DeVoe. He's willing to sacrifice anyone and anything. Just remember that the next time you're pushing too hard, okay? You of all people know that heroes aren't made overnight.
