Quotes
-
Caitlin Snow : What a day. First, Frost is sent to Iron Heights for life, and now Alexa's dead.
Iris West-Allen : I can't let this happen again.
Caitlin Snow : I'll get to work. I need to figure out how Nora was able to...
Cisco Ramon : Kill a god?
Barry Allen : She could because she had help.
Iris West-Allen : Barry, she tricked you.
Barry Allen : No, she manipulated me, just like she's been doing the whole time.
Iris West-Allen : Honey, I know how you feel, but... not everything she did and said was a lie. I mean, there were moments that felt real, too. That must mean...
Barry Allen : Iris, we can't trust her anymore.
-
Caitlin Snow : What about what Nora said about you two creating the other forces?
Barry Allen : I mean, there's no proof.
Cisco Ramon : Well, what if we find out if Nora's telling the truth? If she is, then that means the other forces would have been born the same day she was.
Chester P. Runk : Oh, I'll pull satellite scans from the night we fought Mirror Monarch.
Cisco Ramon : Please, and thank you.
[Chester pulls the scans]
Cisco Ramon : Okay, you see that cluster of kinetic energy readings? Pretty sure that's the Speed Force being reborn in the Speed Lab.
[seeing the four colored lightning bolts]
Cisco Ramon : Whoa. There they are. Three brand-spanking-new isotopic signatures.
Iris West-Allen : Nora was right.
Barry Allen : We created the forces.
-
Cisco Ramon : Barry, you're talking about creating another Flashpoint. You know we can't do that.
Barry Allen : Not if I can figure out a way to go back that doesn't affect the timeline.
Cisco Ramon : Which would be impossible.
Iris West-Allen : Barry, look, I know that you're devastated about Alexa. But uncreating forces? That crosses a line.
Barry Allen : I convinced Alexa to come here. Her death is my fault. If we don't get these new forces out of Psych and Deon, Nora will kill them, too, so it's on us to fix this.
Iris West-Allen : By killing Psych and Deon?
Barry Allen : No, I'm not killing them. I'm saving them from the forces that took over their lives. Whoever they were before this, they can go back to being those same people again.
Iris West-Allen : And what about the other force that was born that night? Nora. If you uncreate her...
Barry Allen : We're only gonna target the new forces, not Nora. That's the plan.
Chester P. Runk : But if something goes wrong, Barry, you might lose your speed.
Barry Allen : Then I lose my speed. All right? It's... it's worth the risk to keep everyone safe.
-
Cisco Ramon : Elemental Force Particles?
Barry Allen : They're the particles that created the new forces. The lightning bolt that rebirthed the Speed Force was full of them.
Chester P. Runk : Now, if we can extract a sample of these force particles from the lightning, then we can send out an electromagnetic pulse that'll seek out those same particles, wherever they may be along the temporal spectrum.
Cisco Ramon : And you can erase the new forces from existence. That's not bad. Small detail, though. How in the world are you supposed to extract these particles from a giant bolt of lightning?
Chester P. Runk : A few weeks ago when Barry was Spock-Flash, he modified the Tachyon Enhancer to siphon Mirror Monarch's dark matter photons.
Barry Allen : So all we have to do is tweak the Enhancer to siphon Force Particles instead of photons.
Cisco Ramon : Tweaking the Tachyon Enhancer... and then send out an EMP to 86 the forces. That's genius. I mean, it's foolproof, even. But it still doesn't answer how we're supposed to do this and protect the timeline.
Barry Allen : I'll figure it out. Somehow, I will. I'll figure it out.
Chester P. Runk : Man, I wish Nash Wells was here. I mean, he came up with most of these equations for the A.S.F. machine. I feel like he'd crack this easy-peasy.
Barry Allen : [getting an idea] Modify the Particle Harness Collector. I'll be back as soon as I can.
Chester P. Runk : Roger that, but where are you going?
Barry Allen : To get the one person that can help us pull this off.
-
Cisco Ramon : What's happening? Everything just stopped.
Chester P. Runk : The numbers are going back up. It's as if the forces are still here...
Barry Allen : [returning with Wells] Iris was right. You all were. I, uh... I couldn't do it.
-
Harrison Wells : So, apparently, there's danger in Central City.
Cisco Ramon : Apparently.
Harrison Wells : Well, let's get busy.
Cisco Ramon : Well, you really think we can do this without affecting the timeline?
Harrison Wells : I know we can. As long as we use me as your guide.
Barry Allen : Harrison was there when the forces were created. So if we use the other him from that night as a beacon to lock onto...
Harrison Wells : Hopefully, I can go back to that exact moment, also bring Allen along for the ride, and he'll collect the particles.
Chester P. Runk : Oof, wait, so you can travel through time with a plus-one?
Harrison Wells : It should work... When Allen and I go back to that exact moment that those dangerous forces were created 17 days ago, I will... I will create a-a protective-time bubble, right, from that moment until now, preserving those days in this timeline, and preventing anything from changing.
Chester P. Runk : Which would also allow us to wipe out the new forces without altering any of the events that have happened since then...
[laughing excitedly]
Chester P. Runk : Yo! That is... that is trippy.
Barry Allen : Cisco, this will work.
Cisco Ramon : What about Iris?
Barry Allen : When she sees everyone's safe, she'll come around. She has to.
Harrison Wells : You're not convinced. I wasn't, either. When Allen told me about this, I thought of Tess. I thought of my wife, and how my future with Tess was... ripped from me. Until this gift... which has allowed me to relive every single day with Tess, but only... because I took a chance.
-
Cisco Ramon : Perfect timing.
Harrison Wells : Always.
-
Cisco Ramon : This is an isotopic scanning lens. It can detect the signatures of all four forces, even kinetic signatures from Speed Force Nora. And if one's nearby...
Kamilla Hwang : It lights up like an overexposed landscape.
Cisco Ramon : In which case, you run the other way.
-
Iris West-Allen : How bad is it?
Chester P. Runk : Okay, did Nora kill somebody else?
Barry Allen : No, and I have a way to make sure she never does.
Iris West-Allen : Okay, how?
Cisco Ramon : [entering] I'm here. What's going on?
Barry Allen : I spent all night coming up with a way to fix all this.
Cisco Ramon : Okay, what the solve?
Barry Allen : We need to wipe the new forces out of existence.
Iris West-Allen : Barry, what are you saying?
Barry Allen : I want to go back in time... and uncreate them.
-
Cisco Ramon : I think Deon's right. We can't just... uncreate these forces like that.
Barry Allen : Uh... so what, we... we... we should just give up?
Cisco Ramon : On this? Yeah, we give up. Doesn't that feel like the right thing to do?
Barry Allen : Cisco, Nora will kill him if I don't do something to prevent it. Just like she killed Alexa. 'Cause she's not gonna stop until all the forces, and the people connected to them, are dead. Why... why can't you see? I'm trying to save him.
Cisco Ramon : He doesn't want to be saved by you! He just wants to be given the chance to be himself. And Iris understood that.
Barry Allen : Look, every second that we leave these forces inside Deon and Psych, people are in danger. It's only a matter of time before someone dies in one of Psych's nightmares or gets killed by some kind of Deon time anomaly. Not to mention Nora declared war. She doesn't care how many people she kills as long as the forces die.
Cisco Ramon : You're right. Yes, you're absolutely right. And something needs to be done about that. And I don't have all the answers. All I know is... this can't be it.
Barry Allen : [to Chester and Wells] You guys understand, right? I... I have to uncreate these forces.
Chester P. Runk : L-Like I said, I am... I am Team Flash all the way. But... Cisco has a point, man.
Barry Allen : Harrison?
Harrison Wells : If uncreating these forces is what you feel in your heart is right, I'll take that voyage with you. But all I ask is that you think, truly think, about the choice you're making.
-
Barry Allen : There are three other forces; people like you. One of them? She wants to kill you. Now, she's already killed one of the other forces, the Strength Force, and she didn't care when the person containing that force died, too. So I need to make it so the Still Force never found you. It's the only way to keep you safe.
Deon Owens : Nah. I like being me.
[seeing Barry instinctively glance at the Tachyon Enhancer]
Deon Owens : Oh, I get it. Oh, I get it.
Barry Allen : Deon.
Deon Owens : Mm. No, I get it. I get it. This is what you're gonna use to do it, huh? This is what you're gonna use to make it like I never existed?
Barry Allen : Not you, just the force inside...
Deon Owens : Man, I *am* that force! Do you have any idea what it's like to be told that you shouldn't be here? I never asked to be born.
Barry Allen : Deon, listen to me. Look at what you're doing. Okay, you... you don't understand what you are.
Deon Owens : Yeah, I do. I'm a god. Maybe it's time you understood that.
Barry Allen : Deon, wait.
Deon Owens : [freezing him] Time to bounce.
Harrison Wells : [unfreezing as Deon vanishes] ... right?
Cisco Ramon : What the hell just happened?
Harrison Wells : I think your friend Deon just stopped time.
Cisco Ramon : Yeah, he does that.
Chester P. Runk : Wait. Why'd he leave?
Barry Allen : Because I couldn't stop him.
-
Chester P. Runk : The isotopic energy readings are going down.
Cisco Ramon : The forces are dying.
[as he tortures Iris, Kamilla, and Allegra, Psych's powers are drained from him]
Deon Owens : [walking down the street] These fools gonna learn. You mess with Deon, you get dealt with.
[his powers are drained from him, too, as are Alexa's in the S.T.A.R. Labs infirmary]
Chester P. Runk : Another 20 seconds, and they'll be gone forever. Barry did it.
-
Chester P. Runk : Now, when you're close enough to siphon particles, the disc will light up.
Barry Allen : Guys, I appreciate you helping me.
Cisco Ramon : Make sure the proton collection housing's double-fused.
Harrison Wells : We did. And it's good to see you.
Barry Allen : What changed your mind?
Cisco Ramon : Look, this is dangerous. And it doesn't feel right. But I'm always gonna have your back. No matter what.
-
Cisco Ramon : I'd ask you to stay, but... I already know the answer.
Harrison Wells : A man's gotta be where his heart lies. He's just gotta learn to listen to it. One more thing before I go. Whether it's me... or any of the many Wells predecessors, I want you to know that you taught us every inch as much as we taught you. Maybe more.
Kamilla Hwang : [watching Wells vanish] Yeah, I'm never gonna get used to that.
-
Kamilla Hwang : You okay?
Cisco Ramon : Yeah. For the first time in a long while. Yeah, I feel okay.
Kamilla Hwang : Good. Um... 'cause I've been thinking about something. And after tonight, I know I have to do it.
Cisco Ramon : Okay, that's just weird. I was literally about to say the exact same thing to you.
Cisco Ramon , Kamilla Hwang : I have to leave Central City.
Kamilla Hwang : [snickering] Thank god.
Cisco Ramon : [hugging] Are you kidding me? Oh, my god. Babe, what are you gonna tell Team Citizen?
Kamilla Hwang : What are you gonna tell Team Flash?
