The Flash · Season 1
[Cicada attacks Raylene, a metahuman woman who can transform her arms into blades. She manages to knock Cicada's blade away, fight him off and slash his stomach.]
Should'a left me alone.
[Cicada's blade comes circling back, neutralizes Raylene's powers and impales her in the back, killing her.]
And you never should have existed.
What the heck happened back there? I froze up.
Look, when I got canned from C.C.P.D., I fell in with some... legally questionable individuals. These were some scary, scary people. But, they all had one thing in common. They were all terrified of "Cecile-Your-Fate" Horton. And I don't believe for one second that that woman has gone anywhere.
Dude. Hey, we need to talk.
Why? I thought that dramatic confrontation worked perfect.
Look, we all want to help Caitlin.
Oh, do you?
Yeah, I want Caitlin to have a chance to be with her father–
Just like Nora got the chance to be with you? See, this is your problem. You think that this is just another perfect father-daughter pairing. Reunited.
I'm not blinded by my feelings.
Well, they're not helping you to see any clearer. You gotta stop thinking this like Nora's dad and start thinking about it like a CSI. Please? Don't do it for me, do it for her.
My daughter. You've returned!
You're not my family. They are. You only gave a damn about me 'cause you wanted that serum.
But, I, I can share it with you. Just imagine. The two of us. Free to be ourselves without fear. You are strong. We can be even stronger together.
I'm strong because I have people in my life who actually care about me.
[The original S.T.A.R. satellite core has been recovered.]
Uh, is it safe for this to be here?
[far too focused on the core] Yeah, a little dark matter never hurt anybody.
What?
Careful.
[softly] I know, I know.
This is a critical time.
Okay.
Steady hands.
Aah... call time of death.
[Cut to an overhead view of two peach pies with lattice crusts; we see that Barry has completely failed to make his lattice crust as perfectly as Caitlin's.]
It's okay. It's a pie. It's not supposed to be a piece of cake.
Wow. [They both laugh]
I don't understand. Explain again to me, what is difference between this day and every other day in America?
It's a holiday when we all get together and celebrate and eat a ton of food. Like, a gross amount.
Again, what the difference between this day and every other day in America?
That's legit.
Hi, guys. What's going on?
This guy. He try to explain the Thanksgiving holiday, he's failing miserably. What is this holiday, please explain.
It's very simple, actually. It's just about getting together to celebrate our loved ones and family.
So simple, this why I don't understand this holiday.... Don't have any family.
Didn't you have, like, seven marriages?
I did. Have seven marriages, five wives, seven marriages, but... no family. This holiday, it's a cruel holiday.
Hey, uh, I know we didn't get off to the greatest start these past few months. [off Grace's look] Okay. It... it was a lousy start. But I want to fix all that. What I was thinking, while I work on this place (their house), we could work on this one (her doll house), too. Together. Listen, you were right, kid. I do hate me. I don't really know any other way to be, but I want to do right by you, Gracie. I want to keep you safe, warm, fed. You know, just... give you all the things a kid should have.
Let's start with the doll house. [smiles]
Okay. [relieved] Okay.
[Team Flash sees a photo of Jocelyn's van with her professional name on the side.]
Ooo. "Weather Witch"?
I'll allow it.
I get it. Sometimes you have to sacrifice yourself to save others. Even if it means leaving your family behind.
Not exactly. Look, when I ran into that storm, I was thinking that I want to save everyone, but the person I was thinking about the most... was you.
... Me?
Yeah, I don't choose being the Flash over being with my family. I'm the Flash for my family. And I don't have to run to the future to understand why I sacrifice myself. I do it to save you. And your mom. All the people I love.
You know, maybe one say, if I train enough, I'll be able to save you.
I don't doubt it.
Who's your friend? Let me guess. Jesse Chambers... no, Libby Lawrence... wait, Danica Williams--
It doesn't matter... who she is.
[stares at Barry, then at Nora.] She's your daughter. You've brought me your daughter. It's, uh.... Dawn, if I'm not mistaken. [bows to Nora]
.... Nora.
"Nora". [regards her] Oh. That's nice. [to Barry] At least you still have one.
You know what's funny about your dad, Nora,... is he hates me. Hates me with a passion. And yet, a version of him is Savitar. A much bigger jerk than I ever was. Did you see the face?
You really hate him (Thawne), don't you?
Do you not know what he did?
Well, I... I know he was your arch-enemy.
He killed my mother. In our home. When I was eleven years old. An eleven-year-old boy. You know why he did it? He thought if I suffered a tragedy that was horrific enough, I'd never recover. I'd never become the Flash
[getting emotional] I didn't... I didn't know that.
There's probably a lot that's happened to me that's not in the Flash Museum.
That's why you didn't want me to come with you, isn't it? It's not because it was dangerous, or because of the timeline. But because you didn't want me to know these awful things about you, so it's not what I would remember most when I went back. [Barry nods] You don't have to protect me from this stuff.
Yes, I do.
No, you don't.
Yes. Yes, I do. You're my daughter.
Yeah, and you're my father! And I just want to know my father! [embraces Barry, who hugs her in return]
Cicada.
Is that what you call me?
Not all metahumans are responsible for what happened to Grace.
Yes, they are. The destruction they cause. The death. The pain.
I know about pain and death. Taking it out on the world, that's not gonna help. Think about Grace.
She's all I think about, Flash. And I'm making the world safe for her. Every metahuman must go.
And what about you? You're a metahuman now.
I am. And after you're gone, I'll join you.
I don't trust you anymore.
Have I not given you everything? A chance to go back and know a father you never knew? To learn from him. To run with him. To run with the Flash! I showed you how to time travel because... I want to help you.
No, the only person that you ever help is yourself.
Who told you that? Your father? For as long as I can remember, all I ever thought about was myself. And that will not be my legacy. That will not be the legacy of Eobard Thawne! Let me help you.
I don't want your help. Not anymore.
