Quotes 

  • Chester P. Runk : So... Godspeeds are attacking folks in their homes now? You mean I could just be hanging out at home listening to my Nas-Nasty-Nas, drinking coffee, and a whole Godspeed could just...

    Barry Allen : [whooshing in]  Ah, the Godspeeds are gone again.

    Caitlin Snow : You're hurt. What happened?

    Barry Allen : They ambushed me while I was evacuating City Hall. I barely made it out in one piece.

    Caitlin Snow : Okay, let's get you to the med lab. Chester, can you call Iris?

    Chester P. Runk : Yeah, yeah, sure.

    Barry Allen : No, no. She's still home feeling sick. Let her rest. Frost is out there helping. Chester, how long was it before they showed up this time?

    Chester P. Runk : About eight hours. But their movements are unpredictable, and we still have no idea where they're going once they disappear.

    Barry Allen : Can we figure out when they're gonna come back next?

    Chester P. Runk : I could start working on a predictive algorithm. Right, okay. If there's a pattern to their freaky-deaky moves, I'll find it.

    Barry Allen : Even if we figure out when they're gonna attack next, we still have no idea what these new clones want.

    Caitlin Snow : The original six want your speed.

    Chester P. Runk : And just as they were gonna get it, six more showed up and saved you.

    Barry Allen : Right, but why? Why? I mean, how do we stop a civil war if we don't even understand why both sides are fighting each other?

  • Caitlin Snow : Comms aren't working in the Speed Force for some reason, but you'll have Mobile Gideon with you.

    Barry Allen : Okay. Chester... uh, about earlier, I was out of line. I'm sorry.

    Chester P. Runk : Thanks for saying that. And, look, I totally get it. We're all just trying to keep the city safe.

  • John Diggle : It's called an entropy trap. And hopefully, it's gonna save your city.

    Chester P. Runk : [trying to contain his excitement]  Wait, wait, wait, wait. So you're saying that John Diggle is gonna help us end the Godspeed war? AKA Spartan, AKA Oliver Queen's right-hand man, AKA the heart and soul of Team Arrow?

    John Diggle : Yeah. And this is something that Cisco cooked up after you called him and gave him the 411 on Central City.

    Barry Allen : Dig, when we reached out for help, I had no idea he was gonna send you.

    John Diggle : He didn't. I volunteered, man. You're fighting a war, Barry. I know something about that.

    Cecile Horton : And with a battle-tested soldier like you on our side, we're gonna win.

  • John Diggle : This motion-detection plate has a response time of a picosecond.

    [setting it on the floor and turning it on] 

    John Diggle : And now it's live. Hey, do you mind handing me that thing?

    Chester P. Runk : Oh, yeah, absolutely!

    [picking up Cisco's Quantum Ball] 

    Chester P. Runk : I mean, like, absolutely I don't mind kinda... I'm the new guy, by the way. Chester. Big fan, man, big fan.

    John Diggle : Thanks. All right, guys, you might want to stand back.

    [he throws the ball, and they watch it stop] 

    Chester P. Runk : Whoa, dog! So the plasmatic wave eliminates all entropy from any object or person.

    John Diggle : Yup. Freezing it in time.

    [turning the trap off, the ball falls to the ground] 

    Barry Allen : Guys... if we could trap one of these Godspeeds, find a way to communicate with it...

    Cecile Horton : We can find out what they want and why they're fighting.

    Chester P. Runk : And end this thing.

    Barry Allen : Once we've caught one, we'll bring it back here for questioning.

    John Diggle : Whoa, whoa, whoa. You want to invite the enemy into your house, Barry? Is that a good idea?

    Barry Allen : Look, these new Godspeeds saved my life last night. If there's any chance of finding allies in this war, it's with them.

  • Chester P. Runk : [watching Godspeed in the Pipeline]  Okay, so... why isn't he talking?

    John Diggle : He's a soldier. He'll talk when he's ready. And not a moment sooner.

  • Chester P. Runk : Tell Cisco that I have scanned every element. And I am on the case. If there's any way to duplicate this Time Trapper tech, we'll find it.

    John Diggle : I know you will. You got skills, man. This team is lucky to have you.

    Chester P. Runk : Thanks, man. So, see you soon?

    John Diggle : Sure.

    [offering a fist bump] 

    John Diggle : Take care of yourself.

  • Chester P. Runk : [waiting for Barry in the Pipeline]  Uh, isn't he supposed to come back at the exact same time?

    Caitlin Snow : Yeah. And if he hasn't, it's because something's gone wrong.

    [he appears in Deon's flash of green light] 

    Caitlin Snow : Barry? Is Nora...

    Barry Allen : Not Nora. Iris.

  • Barry Allen : Cecile, can you sense anything from this guy?

    Cecile Horton : Yeah, I tried. The only thing I'm picking up is the same fear that anyone suffering from memory loss would have. Whoever this person is, he seems like somebody who needs help.

    Caitlin Snow : I ran complete diagnostics on him. There's no sign of speed powers, organic or artificial. But take a look at this. His neurological scans show severe memory degradation. But his somatic memory cells are still intact, they're just inactive.

    Barry Allen : Can we access them?

    Caitlin Snow : I could give him a nano dose of neurogenic dark matter. It might reactivate the cells. But it's risky. And the effects would only be temporary.

    Chester P. Runk : I think if there's a chance that what's inside his head could save lives, it's worth trying.

    Barry Allen : As long as he agrees. Let's get the shot ready.

    Cecile Horton : I'll ask if he's willing to help.

  • Chester P. Runk : If this is the real August Heart, shouldn't he be in, like, I don't know, triple lockup at A.R.G.U.S. or something?

    Cecile Horton : Well, right now, it's just a feeling.

    Barry Allen : Yeah, we need to find a way to prove it. One way or the other. It's what Iris would want.

    Caitlin Snow : Based on everything you told us, being with Deon is the safest place for Iris to be right now.

    Chester P. Runk : Yeah, I mean, we've all seen what the Still Force can do. If anyone can keep her safe, Deon can.

    Barry Allen : All right, right now, let's stay focused on keeping the city safe.

    Chester P. Runk : Right, right, okay. I just finished running the algorithm on the Godspeed disappearances. Turns out these clones are coming back exponentially faster each time.

    Barry Allen : How long do we have?

    Chester P. Runk : At first, it was eight hours, then four.

    Caitlin Snow : And now?

    Chester P. Runk : If we're lucky, 90 minutes. This war's about to go turbo.

  • Caitlin Snow : The clones are back.

    Cecile Horton : Seems like they came back awfully fast this time.

    Chester P. Runk : Flash, we got company.

    The Flash : I'm ready, Chester. Do it.

    Chester P. Runk : [tapping a control]  Signal activated.

    [the wings on Barry's cowl emit a high-pitched tone] 

    Chester P. Runk : Okay, Flash's suit is emitting a signal identical to the original Godspeeds.

    Cecile Horton : So the new Godspeeds will think that he's their rival...

    Caitlin Snow : When he's really bait.

    The Flash : [a Godspeed catches up to him]  We got one!

    [approaching the entropy trap, he phases through the street] 

    Caitlin Snow : [seeing Godspeed suddenly stop]  What happened? Did it work?

    Spartan : It worked, all right.

    [Barry speeds in next to him] 

    Spartan : That's something you don't see every day.

  • The Flash : [in the Pipeline with Godspeed]  Guys, it might not understand me.

    Chester P. Runk : You think it might be a... drone?

    The Flash : Maybe. Queue up your translator.

    Prisoner Godspeed : A translation will not be necessary.

    The Flash : So you can speak.

    Prisoner Godspeed : Yes. And we have much to discuss, Barry Allen.

  • Barry Allen : [after Godspeed escapes from the Pipeline]  How did he get out?

    Chester P. Runk : I don't know. The meta-cell should have kept him powerless, but... oh, man. Godspeeds are fueled by a velocity formula; a chemical Speed Force substitute.

    John Diggle : Which means he's an artificial meta, so dampeners wouldn't do anything.

    Allegra Garcia : So why didn't he just peace out as soon as we unfroze him?

    Barry Allen : We thought we were interrogating him. He was interrogating us. Chester, you have to fix this.

    Chester P. Runk : Uh, I'm sorry, but... Cisco built this core with original Time Trapper tech. That kind of tech's one of a kind. I can't...

    Barry Allen : Yeah, you have to. It's the only way to stop one of them.

    Chester P. Runk : Barry, this isn't junk, okay? Without access to bleeding-edge temporal components, there's just...

    Barry Allen : [his frustration boiling over]  Then find another way!

    John Diggle : Chester, Allegra, give me a second with Barry.

  • Cecile Horton : Has anybody heard from Joe? He left town with Kramer hours ago. I haven't been able to get ahold of him.

    Chester P. Runk : I think I know why. This Godspeed war is causing a buildup of electricity, shielding Central City in what's essentially a Faraday cage. Any electronic signal is being totally contained inside.

    Caitlin Snow : So no one in the city can text or call the outside world right now. I'm sorry.

    Barry Allen : Cecile, if there's one thing Joe knows how to do, it's take care of himself. And right now, anywhere's safer than Central City.
