S1 E15Unfinished Business

I've been trying this whole time to get you to do this one thing for me. But you kept saying "No, Cisco." "I can't, Cisco." "I would never do that, Cisco." And now you're telling me you went and did it for yourself.

Were you listening? It went bad, it went really bad.

I don't care! At least I'd have my brother back.

Yeah, you would have him back. But, because of it, somebody might have something happen to them that's just as awful as what happened to Dante, and trust me, you don't want that on your conscience. It's a heavy burden to bear. And I don't know how many times I've said this, but... I'm really sorry about Dante, man.

"Sorry" doesn't change anything.

No, it doesn't. But I can't go back. I can't change it. All I can do is move forward. I really hope you can, too.

ECEdward Clariss

You found me again, Flash. I wondered how long it'd take you to figure it out.

Wasn't too hard.

CClariss

See you didn't bring your little sidekick with you, though.

Nope. Just me.

CClariss

That's too bad. I brought one. [ Alchemy shoots Barry with a bolt of energy.] Oh, and Flash? A little quaking in your boots wouldn't be inappropriate.

Look, guys, we're like a family here, okay? And sometimes families get mad at each other for screwing up. I know that all too well. But they also forgive. Because, after a while, it just seems silly when you stop and think about it.

What'd you find out?

Okay, get this. So the outer layer of the lamppost is a half an inch thick. But to bend even a quarter of an inch of steel requires 177 tons of tensile strength. So...

So we're looking for a meta with super-strength.

Well, I'm not sure yet, but that's as much as I could find.

What? Why?

Because I showed up. Yes, any problems with Barry's little theory is that there were no fingerprints on the post.

Again, Julian, not my theory. And the meta could have been wearing gloves.

Yes, perhaps. But the curvature on the post suggests that equal amounts of pressure were applied to the whole thing at the same time. So, unless our strongman has a wingspan of over twenty feet...

Something else caused it.

Yes.

Hey, Joe. Did you talk to Wally? He still seems a little bummed.

Eh, it's not gonna fix itself overnight, but it's all good. He gets it.

Okay.

And I gotta be honest, it was one of my better Dad Cop speeches.

What's "Dad Cop"?

Uh, there's Good Cop, Bad Cop,... and Dad Cop. Firm but reassuring. Cuts to the point.

I don't think I know that one.

Yeah, I didn't use it on you. Wally's different than you, Barry. You're like a... second daughter. You overshare your feelings. Him, I gotta be a little more... nuanced.

[taking that in] Huh. Cool.

I'm messing with you. [He and Barry share a little laugh] I'll talk at'cha if I get any leads on Frankie, all right? [walks off]

All right. [mutters to himself] "Second daughter"? What is he... talking about?

Listen, Harry! Maybe the reason [Jesse]'s shutting you out is because you're not trying to understand what she's going through. Maybe if you helped her navigate her powers rather than just assuming they'll destroy her, she'd turn to you rather than push you away.

You said it. Everything's different here. There's a guy creating metahumans, innocent people, because I changed the timeline. It's on me.

Yeah, well, I think I know a thing or two about what that feels like. I keep making mistakes. I make mistakes, then I want to make up for my mistakes, then I just make more mistakes. Next thing I know, I have a daughter that won't even speak to me.

How do we keep from messing things up when all we want to do is help?

I dunno. But you did once tell me that you have to trust that in the long run, the decisions you make are the right ones.

Yep.

I was always too good at forgiving myself, Allen. And you were never good enough.

Go help him.

Dad....

You need to get out there. Now.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure. I know you can do it. You're more than fast enough. Now run, Jesse. Run.

Okay. Well, that wasn't very heroic.

Nope. But there is a lesson in there somewhere.

What's that?

The difference between having powers and having precision.

Well, what do you mean?

I mean it's gonna take more than speed to take down some of these metas. You gotta think. Anticipate. When you enter a new environment, you gotta case every inch of it. Never run in blind. [realizing] Oh, my God. I've become Oliver. Heh.

Hey, Harry. Are you really sure you have to leave?

Just a lot I still have to fix on my Earth.

Yeah, but you know it's more fun when you're here helping us fix stuff on our Earth.

He's right. Hasn't been the same without you.

The team doesn't feel complete without Harrison Wells,

Then change that. There's a whole multiverse of Harrison Wells out there at your fingertips. Want one? Let's go get one.

[Sam Scudder's picture and information are on the monitor screen.]

Good-looking guy. [off everyone's looks] For a criminal.

Well, he's more than just a criminal, now. Apparently, he's a meta who can travel through mirrors.

Oh! Oh, I got this one! He's, um...

Mirror Master.

What the...

Booom.

That's good.

Thank you. We had a Mirror Master on our Earth. Evan McCulloch. Wasn't a meta, though. He had some kind of mirror gun that he used.

How'd it work?

Must have had dimensional warping tech that changed everything into two dimensions.

Well, Scudder is hell-bent on finding Snart. He's going after anybody that worked with him in the past. Joe's interviewing one of them right now.

Well, all of Snart's known associates are either presumed dead or gone AWOL. Except for one.

[Rosalind Dillon's picture and information appears on the monitor screen.]

That's her.

Rosalind Dillon.

Says she has the ability to induce crippling vertigo.

[quickly] Oh! Um, uh, a top. Like a top. She's a top. That's her name. Top. Amazing. [to Wells] What, you wanna GO ?!?

O-kay.

[Cisco, Caitlin and Wells are reviewing the hologram of Harrison Wells of Earth-19.]

WEWells of Earth-19

Hello, hello, hello. Hello out there in the multiverse, whoever you may be. Um... I really enjoyed cracking the cryptogram you broadcast. I like the cute trick, embedding the secondary message in the primary data... it's clever. Most people wouldn't've caught it, I caught it, but that's the point. You need a genius, I guess, to help you in your fight against these awful meta-hominids. Well, I gotta tell ya, I gotta tell ya, to me... that sounds like fun. So, I'll enclose my curriculum vitae. You already know we speak the same language. Take a look. Tell me what you think. 'Til our next communion. Oh. Where are my manners? Thank you. [hologram freezes]

Not bad.

Not bad at all. Harry?

Pass.

What?

Pass.

Wh... Wait a minute. That guy cracked the code and he wants to do it.

And he's nice and he's not evil, and that's a combination of Wells we haven't had thus far.

All my life, anyone I've ever hired to work for me, I have trusted my gut. My gut tells me that's not the guy. Keep looking.

[Barry is trapped inside a mirror.]

What's it like in there?

Ummm... Dark. Look, Iris, uh... I'm sorry that I'm... stuck right now.

Oh, honey, I know that you're stuck. It's okay, we are gonna get you outta there.

No. [laughs] No, that was misleading. Not the mirror. I mean with us. This thing with Joe and... You were right, it's not Joe, it's me. It's my problem. I've just been feeling nervous about this new dynamic between the three of us. I dunno. I have everything that I have ever wanted right now, and I've never had that in my life. And in a lot of ways, it's scarier than having nothing, because... it's easier to fail than to succeed. I really want to succeed.

You have Hitchcock on this Earth? Brilliant. "Murder on the Titanic"! "Who did it?" "Who cares? We're drowning."

Don't worry. I have four years training in the military.

Even still, since when does a CSI carry a gun?

Since there were monsters in our city.
