Barry: My name is Barry Allen, and I am the fastest man alive.
To the outside world, I'm an ordinary forensic scientist,
but secretly, with the help of my friends at s. T.A.R. Labs,
I fight crime and find other meta-humans like me.
I hunted down the man who killed my mother,
but in doing so, I opened up our world to new threats.
And I am the only one fast enough to stop them.
I am the flash.
Previously on the flash...
Harrison: Welcome to earth-2.
I met your doppelganger.
She's a coldhearted ice queen named killer frost.
- The name is vibe. - Reverb.
My brothers and sisters.
I've brought us to this new world, ours for the taking.
Whose world is this?
(Chanting) Our world! Our world! Our world! Our world! Our world!
(Screeching)
Reloading.
Argh!
- (David! {Groans)
Back door, the captain's down.
Go, go, go, go.
Down, down, down, get down.
(Crowd shouting indistinctly)
(Shouting stops)
Iris: Some people are calling it "the metapocalypse,"
the days when central city was overrun by an army with powers beyond imagination.
But in these dark times, we must never forget our own strength,
our own power to fight back.
That it is only in the blackest of nights that we can truly see the light,
and know, for sure, we are not alone.
We are never, ever alone.
We usually take these guys down one at a time, not 100 at a time.
And yet, you don't seem overwhelmed.
I know we can do it. (Chuckles)
Guys, you have to come see this.
Cisco, what are you... Caitlin?
She's in shock.
A little dehydrated and malnourished, but I think she'll be fine.
I'm okay.
What happened? How did you get away?
(Shakily) He let me go.
I didn't think he would, I thought it was a trap.
But he told me you were dead.
I'm not. I'm right here.
We're all here. Together.
Harrison: Snow,
Jay's not here. You're safe.
(Shakily) He's gonna overrun the city, you can't stop him.
Yes, we can.
Listen to me, he's not going to succeed. We've got this. This is our earth.
You don't know that. You don't know what he is capable of.
I know from being in the speed force that the universe is with us, not zoom.
And if the universe is with us, how could we possibly lose? Right, guys?
Yeah, yeah, right.
You've been through a lot. You should get some rest, come on.
You were in the speed force?
I... (Sighs) When you were gone, it's hard to explain,
but we tried to get my powers back,
and the dark matter lightning I was inside...
Okay, I'm gonna say it.
Um, we don't think he's just being a little too...
- Overconfident? - (Scoffs) Yeah.
Yeah, maybe it was his time in the speed force.
I mean, he's acting like he's invincible now or something.
Yeah, like nothing fazes him anymore, which isn't...
Realistic, no.
Somebody needs to talk to him before letting his guard down gets him hurt,
oi" wofsg.
I mean, he did bring me out of my coma.
That's bound to make someone a little overly chipper.
Well, like I said, somebody needs to talk to him.
Dr. McGee: Amazingjob, anupam.
This is exactly the kind of groundbreaking thinking
I built this company for.
Well done.
(Screeching)
(Rumbling)
(People murmuring indistinctly)
Everyone, evacuate! Now!
(Woman screaming)
Hurry!
(People screaming and clamoring)
Hey.
She's out like a light, huh?
Yeah. Jay really did a number on her.
(Scoffs) It's not like he exactly used kid gloves on the rest of us.
She'll be okay, shejust needs time.
And for us to finally bring zoom down. Which we will.
Yeah, because the universe is with us, right?
Listen, man...
(Bird chirping)
Barry: Cisco? Hey, are you okay?
- You just vibe? - Yeah.
What'd you see?
I saw a bird. Like, a dead bird.
(Computer alarm beeping)
Mercury labs.
- It's under attack. - All right.
Man: Come on!
(Glass shattering)
(Man shouting indistinctly)
Ah!
(Rumbling)
Thank you, Mr. Allen.
I'm not stupid.
(Chuckles)
Boom.
So, how did you know?
- Your real identity? - Yeah.
Come on, Barry, I'm a scientist. We're paid to be perceptive.
And you're always a little too well-informed
- when things go pear-shaped in this city. - (Chuckles)
But I don't believe we've ever met before. Dr. Christina McGee.
Dr. Henry Allen. I'm Barry's father.
Okay, now that the cat's out of the bag,
did you happen to see who it was that caused your building to collapse?
I didn't see anything, it happened so fast.
Maybe the security cameras caught something?
Can we access them?
Mercury labs does have a crash-survivable memory unit.
A what?
Virtually, a blackbox for buildings. It will have stored
all the security footage right up until the building collapsed.
Okay, great, I'll go find it. This wasn't some random meta-human.
Whenever Mercury labs has been targeted in the past,
there's always been a specific reason.
Yeah, someone's after something.
Yes, and that someone is probably zoom.
- Mmm-hmm. - There may be one more possibility.
A few months ago, I saw Harrison Wells running out of my facility.
I know it sounds crazy, but I'm certain it was him.
Is there any way he could have anything to do with this?
A few months ago? Sure.
Now? No.
Yeah, there are a few more things that we could catch you up on, Dr. McGee.
Hey, my purse!
- (Tires screeching) - (Grunts)
(Gasps)
(Grunting)
- (G roans) - That ain't yours, punk.
Big mistake.
You picked a bad time to play hero.
(Grunting, screaming)
(Man grunts, groans)
(Gasping)
(Groaning)
Wally? What the hell were you doing?
That guyjustjacked a bunch of people, so I had to go after him.
You could've got yourself killed!
I'm not just gonna let these guys get away with this.
- I have to do something. - Wally, these are not just guys!
These are meta-humans!
Leave this to the cops and the flash!
The flash can't be everywhere at once. I... I have to do what I can to help.
I have to show him I was worth being saved.
(Scoffs)
Wally.
You are worth it.
Really? Am I?
'Cause last time I checked,
I'm the guy who avoided his dying mother for weeks.
I'm the guy who shamed a bunch of other guys
and illegally took their cars from them.
I'm the guy who caused the flash to lose his powers
and start this whole damn metapocalypse in the first place.
- Wally... - Last time I checked,
I have a whole lot to make up for.
That's what I intend to do.
Damn it.
- Harrison: Snow. - Oh.
- I didn't know you were here. - What are you doing?
Jesse asked me to run some tests to see if her genetic structure had changed.
Why did you ask Dr. Snow to run tests on you again?
Because I got hit with the dark matter, okay?
I mean, that must have affected me somehow.
(Whispers) You're not a meta-human.
(Normal voice) What you are is a young woman with genius-level IQ
that we could use in our fight against this new wave of meta-humans.
Okay. All right, fine.
Fine.
(Gasps)
Snow.
You all right?
Yeah, fine.
- Is this it? - Dr. McGee: That's the one.
All right, great.
Dad, Dr. McGee, Cisco, why don't you guys crack this open,
- see what you can find? - Sure.
We'll go see what kind of meta-human powers can take down a building like that,
- and how to stop it. - Great.
Sounds like fun.
All right, I'm gonna go see if Joe needs any help in the streets.
Everybody cool here? Should be a piece of cake, right?
H e n ry: Hey, slugger.
- Hey. - Can I talk to you for a minute?
Yeah, sure. What's up?
Well, I know you said
that what happened to you in the speed force
changed the way you see things.
- Yeah. - But you seem very optimistic,
you know, with a lot of meta-humans running around, tearing up the city.
What, did you see the future in there?
(Chuckles) Um...
Not this time. No, I... look,
what I was shown in the speed force, it didn't just change my mind,
it changed me.
I don't know, I mean, what you're seeing as optimism is...
For the first time, I'm just not afraid anymore.
Great. That's...
But you know you still have to be careful, right?
- What do you mean? - Well...
I don't... why are you trying
to take something from me that I've fought so hard to get to?
Barry.
(Stutters) You don't know everything that I've been through, dad.
You haven't been here long enough to know.
I didn't mean... I'm sorry, I don't know why I said that.
I think I do.
I haven't been around.
To teach you how to drive or take you to look at colleges,
but I've done everything in my power to know who you are.
Barry, I don't want to take anything from you, I believe in you.
This isn't about my not believing in you.
I know that. And I'm fine, okay?
Thank you. Thank you very much for worrying about me.
I love you,
but I'm fine.
(Alarm beeping)
Come on.
What is that?
It's c.C.P.D.
Zoom.
Barry, don't do it.
Jay: You know I never saw the crime photos of my mother's murder.
Although I guess I didn't need to.
I had a ringside seat while you got whisked away.
Too delicate, I suppose.
Not just a hologram after all, are you, flash?
Interesting.
I know you didn't call me up here just to banter.
Let's finish this right now.
Actually, I did.
I called you up here to tell you
you can't keep running from one meta to the next.
Around and around, like a dog chasing its tail.
I'll do whatever it takes to stop you.
Jay: If only that were good enough.
'Cause here's the thing. I know you.
I know you, I know what's holding you back.
You and me,
we're really just the same person.
Yeah, you keep saying that, but it's not gonna make it true.
You'll see. We are.
Same tragic background, same reason for running,
same desire to be the fastest, to be the best.
The difference? You think your anger is dirty somehow.
You want to be seen as pure, the hero.
Doesn't it get exhausting?
Doesn't it get exhausting, Barry?
It was exhausting playing Jay, believe me.
I'm not pretending.
(Rumbling)
Now, if it were me,
I'd let that building tumble without a second thought. But you?
You'll never let that happen, will you?
That's why I'm gonna beat you, Barry.
Because you always have to be the hero.
And while you're playing the good little boy,
I'll be busy winning.
Barry: We can't let zoom destroy another building.
We need to take him down. Now.
And how do you propose we do that
with an army of meta-humans laying waste to central city?
We couldn't stop zoom on my earth. What makes us different?
We're a team.
We start with the meta-humans, they're his armor.
We take them down first, then zoom's more vulnerable.
Barry, we don't know even know how many of his minions there are.
There could be hundreds, a thousand.
And all of them, they're all working with different powers.
It could take weeks to track 'em all down.
Guys, we don't have weeks.
So what we need to do is come up with a way to stop them all at once.
Again, how?
(Sighs) Cisco.
Your goggles, your camera, they didn't work on earth-2, right?
Yeah, it was all a different frequency.
And the way you took down the time wraiths?
That was based on frequency.
Hartley's entire schtick...
I think I'm smelling what you're stepping in.
- Yeah. - So, basically,
we create some vibrational tech that could take down the earth-2 metas.
- Basically. - I like it.
- Me, too. - I'll help.
Okay.
I'll let you know if! Hear anything from ccpn.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
You guys,
we got this.
- Barry, can I talk to you for a second? - Yeah.
(Birds cawing)
(Glass breaking)
Birds. Why?
It's like a Hitchcock movie in my head.
Barry: What's up?
Man, it's Wally.
- Is he okay? - Not really.
Earlier, he thought it would be a good idea
if he used himself as bait against a meta-human psycho.
Thought he could do things the way the flash would.
Joe, I mean, he did tell me
that he wasn't gonna waste the opportunity the flash gave him.
I don't know if you can stop him.
I'm gonna have to or he's gonna get himself killed.
Look, he ain't you, Barry. He can't just go mach 50...
(Chuckles) Mach 50 isn't a real thing.
Point is, thinking you're invincible isn't any kind of armor.
Now, Wally's already at a higher risk than I'm comfortable with,
and him throwing caution to the wind on top of all of that? No.
We gotta keep him safe.
So, can the flash talk to him?
Again.
Yeah, I'll talk to him. I'll try, I promise.
- Yeah? - Mmm-hmm.
(Exhales) Thank you.
I thought throwing things was Harry's preferred method of dealing with stress.
That is how frustrated I am right now.
I'm just running out of ideas as to how to make this work.
Where's Barry? I need a taste
of that walking on sunshine thing he's got going on right now.
(Gasps)
(Gasping) No, no.
- (Gasping, whimpering) - Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, it's me.
Okay? Breathe. Breathe.
You're okay, right? You're shaking.
I... I thought I saw him. Zoom, I thought I saw him right there.
It's just me, okay? Look at me, he's not here. He's not here.
(Exhales)
I see him everywhere.
Look, you literallyjust escaped a psychopath who kidnapped you. All right?
So I think it's normal for you to have a severe reaction like this.
This is so much worse than that.
I'm afraid all the time.
I don't think I can ever move forward.
(Scoffs) You will.
When? Jay took everything from me.
My confidence, my trust, my sanity.
I don't think I'll ever be whole again.
(Scoffs)
Of course, you will.
Promise.
Officer 1: (On radio) Copy that, en route, eta four minutes, send backup, 442.
Officer 2: (On radio) Yes, code 50 on that 11-81.
We're gonna need 1013, backup for...
The flash: Stealing is illegal, you know.
(Chuckles)
Detective west tells me
that you've been fighting zoom's army on your own.
Yeah, I wanna help.
I admire what you're trying to do,
but the best way to help is to just leave this to the police.
Like you did?
I do have powers, Wally, it is a little different.
(Chuckles)
This isn't your fight, it's mine.
No, it's all of ours.
This is my city, too, now, and it's up to all of us to protect it.
Barry, we got a major meta-human alert at fifth and main. Get there.
Fifth and main, got it.
We'll continue this later.
(Sighs) Why is it always so difficult to choose?
- Cisco: Barry, what is it? - It's...
Laurel Lance.
Laurel.
(Laughing)
Laurel Lance is dead. On this earth, anyway.
Poor black canary. Bye, bye, birdie.
Earth-2 Laurel.
You knew her doppelganger?
We didn't just know her, we loved her.
So, what do I call you?
You can call me black siren.
Zoom mentioned that you might be showing up.
Well, if he told you what I can do, you should look more afraid.
And so should you.
Tell me,
why did you take down Mercury labs?
Because I like to watch things crumble and fall.
Guess what.
You're next, red.
(Screeching)
(Feedback ringing)
(Groaning)
Caitlin: Barry?
- Are you okay, Barry? - (Exhales)
Look. Anything over 200 decibels will kill a human.
- (Feedback ringing) - (Groaning)
Was that too loud?
Perhaps, we should quiet things down a bit.
(Grunting)
(The flash groaning)
(Grunts)
(Grunts, groans)
You know, the sad thing is, I think zoom's actually afraid of you.
I didn't think that he feared anything.
(Black siren chuckles)
And you, you're hardly worth the chills.
How many metas did he send to try and kill you?
Well, it's too bad, he should have just sent me,
because that way, you would have already been...
-(Tires screeching) {Gasps)
- Get in! - (Groans)
(Breathing heavily)
(Engine rewing)
(Tires screeching)
(Panting)
- Thought you might need a lift. - Yeah, thanks.
You're welcome.
Why do so many villains that we go up against
use sound as a weapon?
- What? - Nothing.
- You're gonna be fine. - Thanks.
So wallyjust drove on up into the thick of it?
Mmm-hmm.
Must have been some conversation you two had.
Seeing as though he did literally the opposite of what we wanted.
This I can hear.
It's not funny.
- I'm sorry. - I'm in no laughing mood.
Look, Joe, I tried. I told you I would try, right? I...
Wally's a determined kid.
Yeah, determined to get himself killed.
Or determined to help people.
And be glad or, you know, I would not be standing here right now.
Well, he was lucky tonight. I don't want to see the day when he isn't.
Yeah, we got more than luck on our side, Joe.
You know you're not invincible, right?
Yes, of course, I know this.
(Sighs) Joe's being overprotective, but I get it.
Yeah, but it's like you think that nothing can touch you.
Like nothing bad can get in your way.
That's not true for any of us.
What are you saying?
Look, I know that you had an experience in the speed force.
And I'm happy that you think that we're gonna win the day.
But I think a little fear can be a healthy thing.
It helps you determine which risks are worth taking.
I think that's something for both you and Wally to take to heart.
Black siren: I met your little red friend tonight.
Aren't you gonna ask me if I killed him?
You didn't. You're good, but not that good.
And yet, I seem to be the only one of your top lieutenants still standing.
Like I said, you're good.
So why don't you go knock down a few more buildings? Like I ordered.
What's the point?
The point is so that it seems random.
That way, the flash and his merry band won't realize what I'm up to
until it's too late.
What are you up to?
No good.
- Ow! - Cisco: Sorry.
- (Beeping) - Ow!
- (Chuckles) There we go. - Are you kidding me with this?
- Hey, at least it works. - Tremendous.
What is it, exactly?
It's just a small source of joy.
But more importantly, it's how we're gonna stop zoom's army.
By giving them all electro-shock therapy?
By giving them all dimensional-shock therapy.
This is where I play stupid and you explain the science.
Okay, fair enough. So, all matter vibrates at its own unique frequency, right?
You disrupt that frequency, you disrupt the matter.
Like how an opera singer shatters glass with her voice.
Exactly. So, we found out
that all earth-2 people vibrate at their own, more erratic frequency.
Harrison: Higher frequency.
- Different frequency. - Higher.
- Higher frequency than we do. - Right.
So, I ran this all past hartley, right?
And he postulated that we could create a sort of dimensional tuning fork. Voila!
Okay, you didn't do it yourself.
- Just let me have this one, okay? - Harrison: All right, have it.
Thank you. So, if you run around the city fast enough to create a refracting field,
the device can send out a pulse that will bounce off of it, split apart,
and collide with itself over and over.
Amplifying it to an erratic frequency on the earth-2...
- Higher. Higher frequency. - Higher frequency on the earth-2 spectrum.
And when that pulse hits anyone from earth-2...
It'll disrupt their nervous system.
Earth-2 metas go night-night.
- Even zoom? - Even zoom.
Harry and Jesse are from earth-2.
How do we keep the pulse from hurting them?
Detective, I didn't know you cared.
Yes, you did.
(Chuckles) Well, we designed these headphones to protect us from the pulse.
- Beats by Wells. - (Harrison chuckles)
(Beeping)
Cisco, it's your meta-human alert app.
That's the high-rise development on the West Side.
Hundreds of people live there.
Ramon, we're up. Let's go. Set that pulse off right now.
Allen, you need to start generating that refracting field right now.
Black siren could take down this building at any point.
(Stutters) All those people, Wells...
How many more people are gonna die while we wait?
(Sighs)
Guys, which is it?
I think I just got the worst idea of all time.
(Chuckles)
I don't think I've taken down so many buildings at once.
Woman: Maybe you're not as powerful as you think!
What are you two doing here?
Why should you have all the fun?
I thought you two were dead.
Zoom thinks that, too. And we'd like to keep it that way.
For now.
You think you two can pull one over on zoom?
Well, enjoy being dead.
I told you.
Give her a chance.
What chance?
She's not ready.
Black siren: Excuse me.
Do you know what I'm capable of doing?
Try it and I'll shatter your entire nervous system
without breaking a sweat.
Wow, you really think you can take on zoom.
We can.
You don't even know how powerful you are.
With a single call, you can take down a building.
I'd call that impressive.
But why stop there?
Why serve a master when you can be a master,
when you can be a god?
We could be gods.
- All right. - All right.
All right, we're synced up with whatever the heck that thing is.
Finally, something we're both baffled by.
I'm kidding. That, my friend, is a 75-ktsb,
40,000 watt reverberating sound amplifier,
designed to single out the operating frequency
of every single earth-2 being on this planet,
which, when contained and magnified
by the flash creating a sound pressure wall around the city,
will render all of us earth-2 beings unconscious.
Hence, the safety precautions.
I'm baffled by it.
(Chuckles) Are we ready?
Yes, we are.
All right.
Here we go.
(Beeping)
If I were interested in forming an alliance with you two,
what's your plan, exactly?
We ambush zoom at c.C.P.D.
With our three powers combined, he'll be no match for us.
(Chuckles)
Well, I like the sound of that.
Great. Then let's go.
There's just one more thing.
Reverb, catch.
(Chuckles)
You know, all doppelgangers,
they're mirror images of themselves.
But you two, you didn't know that, did you?
Reverb is left-handed.
Well, I just... I just happened to catch it with my right... run!
(Beeping)
Oh, no. What are we gonna do?
I don't think that there's anything you can do.
What the what?
- (Pants) I don't know. - Well, do it again!
(Breathing heavily)
Cisco?
We're a go.
(Vibration rumbling)
There is nothing on this earth that can stop us!
(High-pitched beeping)
It's working.
Ah!
(Groaning)
(Screaming)
Dad? Dad, it hurts.
(Gasping, crying)
- No, no, no, don't! (Crying) - It's okay. It's okay, honey.
(Groans)
(Grunts)
(Groans)
({groans) (Gasps)
(Jesse crying)
Turn it off, turn it off, it worked.
It's okay, it's okay. We'll take care of him.
It's okay, Jesse, he's gonna be okay.
Barry, we did it. Bring them all in.
Copy that. I'm on cleanup.
What's that? I can't... I can't hear you
through the double-paned soundproof glass.
It's... it's kind of hard to make out what you're saying.
So, should we tell Sara and captain Lance about her?
No. I've seen what interacting with your family's doppelgangers can do,
and that's not even Laurel.
Nope, it's just a poor imitation.
Speaking of, that was a pretty good killer frost you did back there.
Guess I was just in the right headspace to play a cold, vicious killer.
How you doing? Are you okay?
But I think I'm gonna be.
Being out there with you guys, fighting meta-humans, and saving people?
It's the first time I felt normal in a long time.
- Come here. - (Caitlin exhales)
This is a group hug moment.
- Yeah, get in. - It is.
(Laughs)
So, all of zoom's meta-humans are locked up in iron heights?
Most of 'em. Some are somewhere else.
- I don't want to know. - No, you don't.
And zoom?
The metas we spoke to said zoom created a breach and escaped.
And how did he do that again?
Who knows? But he's back on earth-2 now.
Captain: Earth-2?
Is that something else I don't wanna know about?
All right. Well, flash, thanks. The man who saved central city once again.
No, we're all just part of the same team.
Speaking of teams, where the hell is Allen?
(Grunts) Sorry, man. Sorry. Hey, heard my name.
- Uh, what's up? - Good.
Well, you've got about 100 meta-criminal cases to get through,
so I would get to cracking if I were you.
I will get right on that.
Captain.
- (Snickering) Well done. - Thanks.
Listen, uh, I've been thinking about Wally some more.
Are you gonna talk to him again?
- No, I'm not. - Why not?
Because he's your son, Joe.
I know he's my son.
Look, no, what I mean is, he's got your values.
He's got your inner drive to help people do what's right.
We're supposed to think we're something we're not until we become that thing.
That's the path that Wally's on.
I'm not gonna stop him from being the hero that he's gonna become.
I really don't think you should, either.
I can't wait till you have kids and they torture you.
- I'm gonna laugh in your face. - (Laughs)
All right, gramps.
- Poppa. - What?
My grandkid's gonna call me poppa.
(Laughing) All right.
What in the world?
- What is this? - Cisco: Blame Iris.
Okay, I just figured that since Henry is officially back for good,
we should celebrate.
And since zoom is gone and the city is quiet right now.
I appreciate it, Iris. Thank you.
- Hi, Tina. - Dr. McGee: Hello, Henry.
- Jesse. Hi. - Hi.
- Good to see you. - Good to see you, too.
- You look great. - Thank you.
I hope you don't mind that I invited Dr. McGee.
Seems like somebody's glad you did.
- Mmm-hmm. - (Chuckles)
So, I guess you are invincible.
- Told you. The speed force is with us. - Mmm. (Chuckles)
Since I'm feeling extra invincible lately,
what do you say you and I
give this a shot?
Yeah, I would like that.
So, is it true?
You saved the flash's life?
Oh, I mean, I was just in the right place at the right time.
Proud of you, Wally. You did good.
Thanks, dad.
- (Chuckles) - What?
Uh, I'm just... I'm proud of you, too.
- Soup's on. - Cisco: Hey!
Taking out a city full of monsters makes a man hungry.
First,
a toast.
- To family. - All: To family.

- Your mother and I love... - Jay!
