Judge, Captain Singh and others in “Unfinished Business”

[sentencing Barry] In my thirty years behind this bench, I have seen my share of criminals. But I confess, this defendant stands apart.

[speaking at a press conference] Thank you all for coming on such short notice. A few hours ago, the very existence of our city came under the threat of nuclear destruction. But one man rose to meet that challenge.

The defendant was in a position of authority. Our city trusted him to bring the guilty to justice.

He ran into danger. Knowing he would suffer burns all over his body.

He used that trust to take an innocent and vulnerable life.

This man was not thinking about himself. He was thinking about you. The first responders on the front lines.

Never have I seen a defendant more unmoved.

Never have I seen a man with more bravery.

Never have I seen such inhumanity.

Such heroism.

Such a lack of regard for human life.

It is my great honor to present Central City Police Department's Award of Valor to this city's finest hero: the fastest man alive, the Flash! [the spectators applaud]

The Court hereby orders that Bartholomew Henry Allen should be incarcerated for the rest of his natural life without the possibility of parole, and that Mr. Allen be immediately remanded to Iron Heights Penitentiary. And may God have mercy on your soul. [bangs his gavel]
