The Flash · Season 1
[Barry and Ralph are walking around Goldface's secret high-tech weapons market.]
So nobody, including us, knows where we are right now.
And we are totally powerless.
Dude, if we make the wrong move in here, these cuffs are gonna be the least of our worries.
New game plan. The anti-hero of our dynamic duo will find the field generator. And you're just gonna stay here and try not to look like a cop. Or a superhero.
Okay.
Or really, anything you actually are.
So here's the thing: scum... recognizes scum. I'm scum. And I've survived this long by recognizing same. [to Ralph] Like you. You're scum, I sniffed you coming a mile away.
Thanks.
But your partner... I don't sniff nothing on him, and that worries me. So, the question is [to Barry] "who are you?"
Look, uh... I don't have to ask you how you feel about this. Stealing from a hospital, that's... that's way more than we bargained for. So, if you don't want to do this, I'm–
I'll do it.
You will?
Yeah, what choice do I have? You warned me to get my head on straight for this job, and I didn't. You had Goldface ready to give us what we needed, I blew it trying to get those guns off the street, and here we are.
Barry, this is not your fault.
Yeah, it is. And you were right. If I want to stop Cicada, I can't be so precious about getting the Flash's hands dirty. Sometimes the ends justify the means, I get that now.
Sherloque, you know that stuff your ex-wife said isn't true, right?
No. I'm destined to be alone.
No, you're not.
Yes, I am.
Listen, you treat love like it's a mystery that can be solved, but you can't deduce your way to a happy ending. You just have to let it come one step at a time, and enjoy whatever step you're in.
We have to wait how long before we can use the metahuman cure?
Not even that long.
Cisco.
It's gonna go by [snaps] like that.
Cisco!
Twenty-nine days.
[Sherloque does a spit-take.]
A month?
I know, right? Just one teeny, tiny... month until we stop Cicada's purge. You know, historically speaking, this is way faster than we've ever stopped a Big Bad.
[Ralph wants to help Cisco with his first date with Kamilla using "The Book of Ralph".]
Chapter one: "Initial Planning".
Initial planning? It's a first date, Sun Tzu, not an incursion.
Trust me, Grasshopper. Love is war.
Told you.
[repeated in each time loop after he kills a member of Team Flash]
I keep trying my absolute hardest to change the outcome, but I end up failing every time. What if we can't fix this, Cisco?
Nora, sometimes we fail because... all we can worry about is not failing. I'm so worried about my first date since Cynthia that I don't feel free to be myself around Kamilla, and then I'll just end up screwing it up even more. This, this "Intelligence and Reconnaissance" mess? I don't need this. All I need is to be myself. Duh.
Yeah, it seems like things worked out this time, but that's not always gonna be true. And it's impossible to know how these changes are gonna unfold. The ripples you'll cause, whose life you're gonna affect. No one can do that.
No one?
No. We're not gods, Nora. We've just been given extraordinary abilities.
Oh Lyla, um, this is... my daughter, Nora.
Your daughter.
Yeah.
I'm from–
–the future, I'm guessing.
Yeah. Weird, right?
No weirder than waking up one day to find out that your son used to be your daughter.
We oughta talk.
Don't you know you shouldn't interrupt others while they're brooding? I'm trying to get my Oliver Queen on here.
I don't love Shay. We're friends.
All right. Well, let's take a look at that, too, shall we, hmm? So this is a friend from another Earth, for whom you left a high-paying job, and for whom you have dedicated every waking moment of your life trying to help. It doesn't quite add up.
I can't love Shay. He's my dead husband's doppelgänger from Earth-2. How crazy would I have to be to fall in love with him?
No crazier than marrying the same woman from five different Earths. [off Tanya's look] Oh, I know. Very good at marrying people, but not so great at staying married. Along the way, though, on these countless Earths and countless doppelgängers, I learned there is one thing that makes all of us unique. And if that... is what you fell in love with, well, then,... perhaps a face doesn't matter that much.
Look, I get it. I'm supposed to take out my frustrations on that bag and... somehow get over it, but it's not that easy.
To confront what ails you? No. It's not. It's hard. I had to go all the way across the world to do it.
You're talking about Tibet? [Joe nods] I thought you went there to see Wally.
I did, but that's not the only reason I went. I went there to heal.
Is that why you were gone for so long?
Wally convinced me to come East with the baby. He said that it would help me repair my mind, my body, restore this old soul of mine. So, with Cecile's blessing,... that's what I did.
Did it work?
I bent, baby girl. But Cicada ain't gonna break me. [hands Iris punching gloves] Ain't gonna break you, either.
[checking her phone] "King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd". Are you kidding me? I missed that?
This is gonna be one of the biggest challenges of your career as a hero. Do you know what you're gonna say?
[long pause as everyone stares at Barry]
Uh, yeah, you know, yeah, I... I've got some loose... thoughts.
Oh, great. Well, that instills all of us with confidence, right. 'Loose thoughts'. What you going to say? "Hey, most bloodthirsty enemy... Stop"? [Cisco scoffs]
Guys. It worked for Marlize. Maybe not so much for Savitar, but...
I will figure out what to say to him, all right? I got this.
I know you do, Dad.
