- Chief David Singh: Joe West is out of the way as requested. Success is assured.
- Eva McCulloch: Good. If anyone's gonna make my husband pay for what he did, it's gonna be me.
- Iris West-Allen: I want you to take me to him right now.
- Barry Allen: I told you, I don't know where he's going.
- Iris West-Allen: You don't need to, Barry. They-they-they left, what, like, 30 minutes ago? They're probably still within a 50-mile radius. With your speed, you can search that entire area in seconds.
- Barry Allen: You know I can't, not anymore.
- Iris West-Allen: Can't or won't?
- Barry Allen: It's not that simple.
- Iris West-Allen: Yes, it is, Barry!
- Barry Allen: No, it isn't! Look, Iris, I'm... I'm barely hanging on. I can't catch my breath. I'm getting dizzy. My feet are numb. My fingers tingle. It feels like with every step I take, I'm getting ripped in two. All I can think about is if I'll be fast enough tomorrow to save another life.
- Financial Advisor: Committing to a five-year investment will guarantee you a 5% return, Ms. Genoa. As for security, our server room is reinforced with military-grade steel alloys.
- Sue Dearbon: Hmm, sounds wonderfully impenetrable.
- Ralph Dibny: [knocking on the door] Yeah, but nothing is impenetrable. Isn't that right, Ms. Dearbon?
- Financial Advisor: Dearbon? You said your name was Genoa, like the salami.
- Sue Dearbon: [in Italian] I should've stuck with acting.
- Ralph Dibny: Yeah, you know, she lied about that. It's kind of her thing. She is *stupid* rich, though.
- Financial Advisor: Oh. In that case... how do you two know each other? Are you married?
- Ralph Dibny, Sue Dearbon: Gross.
- Ralph Dibny: Still up to your old tricks? Swiping diamonds and pearls?
- Sue Dearbon: Oh, you like Prince? Me, too.
- Cisco Ramon: Yes! Me, three. I'm... I'm Cisco, by the way. We met back when you were...
- [British accent]
- Cisco Ramon: ...January Galore.
- [normally]
- Cisco Ramon: That was an excellent accent, by the way. Do you have any training?
- Sue Dearbon: Oh, thank you. I did my senior year abroad.
- Cisco Ramon: London, no doubt.
- Ralph Dibny: Oh, Italy, actually.
- Cisco Ramon: It... she fancy. You fancy.
- Ralph Dibny: Sue, you're trapped, and you're going down.
- Sue Dearbon: Oh, actually, I'm going up.
- Cisco Ramon: ["catching" a blown kiss] Ah. Did you see that?
- Ralph Dibny: What do you...
- Cisco Ramon: Did you see that?
- [while they're distracted, she rappels away]
- Ralph Dibny: [seeing her escape route in the ceiling] Damn it!
- Cisco Ramon: Uh-oh. Dibs.
- [taking a device out of the servers]
- Cisco Ramon: If this is what she used, she has access to all the bank's financial holdings.
- Ralph Dibny: Oh, well...
- [trying to laugh it off]
- Ralph Dibny: It's only several... billion... dollars.
- Harrison 'Nash' Wells: Allegra. Hey, Allegra. Come on. Come on. Hey, what... what can I do to fix this? 'Cause I-I feel terrible.
- Allegra Garcia: What about how I feel? I've been lied to before, a lot, by pretty much anyone who's ever said they cared about me. And now you expect me to smile and say it's all okay because you feel bad?
- Harrison 'Nash' Wells: No, I... what-what... what am I supposed to do?
- Allegra Garcia: Walk away.
- Joe West: I need your help defusing an explosive.
- Harrison 'Nash' Wells: Uh, what kind of a device is it, Captain?
- Joe West: Uh, it is a Michael 112 composition Charlie 4 block demolition charge.
- Harrison 'Nash' Wells: [looking it up with his gauntlet] C4 block demolition charge. Yeah. Got it. Okay, so, easy. Open the outer panel. You're gonna see four wires. Pull the green one.
- Joe West: [opening the panel] There are more than four wires, and they're all green.
- Joseph Carver: Whatever you think I've done, it's a million times worse. I can eliminate anyone, anywhere. And that includes you... or your lovely companion, Ms. Horton. Even that precious little baby of yours.
- [Joe slugs him]
- Sue Dearbon: Hi, Slick. You miss me?
- Ralph Dibny: Almost as much as I miss Fredrico, my tapeworm. Hello, Sue. Or is it Janary?
- Ralph Dibny: Are we live?
- Cisco Ramon: Yeah, we're live. We got eyes. We almost didn't get 'em, though. I ran into one of the donors; some rich British lady. What was her name? June, April... April Gabor.
- Ralph Dibny: Wait. January Galore?
- Cisco Ramon: That's the one.
- Ralph Dibny: That's not good. She's an arms dealer that Barry and I met in Midway City.
- Cisco Ramon: I don't know. She seemed kind of charming to me. Very forward, but charming nonetheless.
- Cisco Ramon: Ew. Ew, ew, ew. What is that? What is that?
- Ralph Dibny: [picking up a rubber mask] A perfect disguise.
- Cisco Ramon: A disg...
- [gagging]
- Cisco Ramon: I think I just lost my appetite.
- Sue Dearbon: So, slick... you here to make a super-citizen's arrest?
- Ralph Dibny: I know what you're up to.
- Sue Dearbon: Really? I'm all ears.
- Ralph Dibny: [taking out a flash drive] The files on this are your parents' bank accounts. They've been wiring money every week like clockwork to a coded account. Your parents are being extorted.
- [she stays silent]
- Ralph Dibny: What, no snarky comeback? Oh. That means I'm right.
- Sue Dearbon: You going somewhere with this?
- Ralph Dibny: Well, my guess is that your parents are being blackmailed by the same person who owns every single banking system that you've hacked into since we last met: Joseph Carver.
- The Flash: You're not gonna make anyone suffer anymore, Merkel, no matter how much Black Hole's paying you.
- Rag Doll: Pay? Don't care about money.
- The Flash: If you're not trying to kill Joe for money, why are you doing this?
- Rag Doll: Oh, release. Mother's dead. Heart attack. No one left to suffer now. Except myself. Thank you, Flash, for helping me suffer. Any second now, release comes with kaboom!
- Ralph Dibny: You weren't stealing anything in Paris, Shanghai, or Central City. You were investigating Carver. He must have found out their ugly little secret. What, do they lie on their tax returns? They bribe their way into that yacht club?
- Sue Dearbon: Enough. Assume whatever you want about me, but don't do it about my parents. They're good people.
- Ralph Dibny: Then let me help you.
- Sue Dearbon: I barely know you.
- Ralph Dibny: You know everything that matters.
- Sue Dearbon: For the record, I didn't enjoy tricking you.
- [seeing his look]
- Sue Dearbon: Okay, I enjoyed it. But, honestly, I felt pretty crappy afterwards. Why is that?
- Ralph Dibny: 'Cause you are a good person, just like your parents. You just have some... issues.
- Barry Allen: You took your badge off a-and just walked right in there knowing what could happen. I... what the hell were you thinking?
- Joe West: Do you think I went over to Carver's house for some macho BS? You know I'm not proud like that. I was just terrified I can't protect my family.
- Barry Allen: But you're the one who needs protecting right now.
- Joe West: I'm not worried about me, Barry. I can't lose Cecile and Jenna.
- Barry Allen: And we can't lose you! Listen! Carver has unlimited resources, right? I mean, first it was Dr. Light, then it was Sunshine. Today it's Rag Doll, and tomorrow... it's who knows? And now, if I can't protect you...
- Joe West: What do you want me to do?
- Barry Allen: Think about witness protection.
- [Joe groans in distaste]
- Barry Allen: Joe, you need to stay alive.
- Joe West: I'm fine. I'm all bandaged up.
- Barry Allen: All right, Joe, that's twice now.
- Joe West: And that's twice I've gotten a clean bill of health.
- [putting his coat on]
- Joe West: All right.
- Barry Allen: Wait, hold on. Where are you going?
- Joe West: Barry, I am still the lead on this investigation. And I was this close to getting a deal with Rawlins if it wasn't for this...
- Barry Allen: He's a dangerous psycho, and he's got your number. All right, look, I-I-I hate it say it, but I-I don't know. It feels like maybe Singh was right and you should let this go for a while.
- Joe West: Oh, so you're gonna take me off the case now.
- Barry Allen: No, I just... I'm trying to keep you safe, all right? And I-I'm not fast enough to do that anymore. I mean, look at your arm.
- Joe West: Well, Barry, you know I'm not gonna stop if I'm this close.
- Barry Allen: Look, I get it, but will you please just stay here at S.T.A.R. Labs, at least until I've stopped Rag Doll?
- Allegra Garcia: I just talked to Iris. She said someone tried to kill Captain West.
- Cecile Horton: Yeah. Joseph Carver.
- Allegra Garcia: So, w-what do we do?
- Cecile Horton: Uh... I sent Jenna to stay with her sister Joanie, so we know she's safe. And, uh... I don't know.
- Allegra Garcia: Cecile, if you're helping Joe and Carver finds out...
- Cecile Horton: What do you think? He's gonna come after me, too?
- Allegra Garcia: If he does, he'll have to go through me.
- Iris West-Allen: I want you to leave.
- Barry Allen: You can't be serious.
- Iris West-Allen: Barry, you always do this. You always make all of these decisions, and then the rest of us have to deal with the fallout. Flashpoint, going into the Speed Force, taking Nora into the future, and now this... I am done, Barry.
- Barry Allen: Iris.
- Iris West-Allen: I want you to get out.
- Barry Allen: Please. Okay, look, we can work through this. You're my home.
- Barry Allen: [recoiling] Not anymore. Leave.
- Iris West-Allen: I just talked to David. Is my dad really gone?
- Barry Allen: I tried calling you.
- Iris West-Allen: That's your excuse? My dad is in witness protection, Barry. You should've come to get me.
- Barry Allen: Yeah, Iris, there wasn't enough time.
- Iris West-Allen: You're the Flash, Barry. You can make a second last an hour. Where is he?
- Barry Allen: I-I honestly don't know.
- Iris West-Allen: When is he coming back?
- Barry Allen: The second that we catch Carver.
- Iris West-Allen: Carver's pockets are lined with... with politicians and lawmakers, Barry, not to mention assassins. It could be years before we catch him.
- Barry Allen: Iris, I'm so sorry, but Cecile was almost killed. And then Joe. He-he had to leave right away, or else Carver may come after Jenna or you next.
- Iris West-Allen: Carver already came after me.
- Barry Allen: And I wasn't here to protect you. Look, I'm-I'm-I'm trying to keep this family safe.
- Joseph Carver: When my private security said I had a guest, the last person I expected to see was Captain Joe West. I suppose you're here on urgent police business.
- Joe West: Personal. You made it that way when you tried to kill me. Twice.
- Joseph Carver: I have no idea what you're talking about.
- Joe West: Peter Merkel, Rag Doll; last he was seen was breaking into McCulloch Technologies. That was about a year ago.
- Joseph Carver: Yes. We have had a number of security issues lately, as I'm sure you're aware.
- Joe West: Yeah, the strange thing is the CCPD never apprehended him. He just vanished. Until today. Do you know anything about that?
- Joseph Carver: Sounds like you've crafted some very interesting narratives about me, Captain West.
- Joe West: Hmm.
- Joseph Carver: It even sounds like you're saying I hired someone to pop out of a box to assassinate you.
- Joe West: I didn't say that Rag Doll popped out of a box.
- Joseph Carver: [snapping] Damn. And I was doing so well. You've been a pain in the ass, Captain. And you've taken up far too much of my time. So, I'm gonna make you a one-time-only offer. I will call off Merkel, and all you have to do is walk out that door and leave me alone forever.
- Joe West: I'll make a counter-offer.
- [taking out his phone, revealing he's been recording the conversation]
- Joe West: You spend 80 years in Iron Heights for attempting to assassinate a precinct captain.
- Joseph Carver: Technology is a fickle mistress.
- [as he presses a pair of buttons on his watch, the lights flicker and the recording is erased]
- Joseph Carver: A localized EMP pulse. And one of the advantages of owning the most advanced technological institution in the world.
- Joe West: Babe, do you remember dancing at your cousin's wedding?
- Cecile Horton: What, when you were stepping on my toes until we finally got in sync?
- Cisco Ramon: [hacking into a security system] What? You call this an encryption scheme? I could do this with one hand tied behind my back.
- January Galore: [grabbing one arm] Prove it.
- Cisco Ramon: Uh, good morning. Don't mind me. I'm just doing a routine software update. Can I have my hand back, please?
- January Galore: [letting him go] You dress well. For tech support.
- Cisco Ramon: I have good work ethic.
- Iris West-Allen: I read your theory that says that someone could pass through the mirror if their molecular structure was destabilized?
- Eva McCulloch: Yes.
- Iris West-Allen: Well, if I could just contact my husband, I think he might be able to help us. Eva, my husband, Barry Allen, is the Flash.
- Eva McCulloch: What?
- Iris West-Allen: And with his speed, I think he could phase us out of here.
- Eva McCulloch: If his instantaneous velocity correlates with the limit of the fractal surface, then... then he'll become intangible.
- Iris West-Allen: So... it could work.
- Eva McCulloch: Yes! Yes, I... I just... I need to recharge. I've been controlling the mirror all morning, and I'm... I'm exhausted.
- Iris West-Allen: Yeah, um, take all the time you need. I will, um, keep trying to decipher more.
- Eva McCulloch: Yeah. You... you do that. You're... you're on the right path.
- Iris West-Allen: Yeah.
- Eva McCulloch: [as Iris leaves, she opens a portal to Mirror-Iris] She just did exactly what I knew she would do. She even told me the truth about her husband.
- Iris West-Allen: Eva, Joe West is still looking into your husband's activities. He knows about Black Hole.
- Eva McCulloch: Then it's only a matter of time before Barry Allen helps him. You have a new mission. The Flash is losing his speed. Drain him of the rest.
- Iris West-Allen: Why do you care about the Flash?
- Eva McCulloch: I don't. I care about my husband. The Flash is not gonna take that away from me.
- Iris West-Allen: Success is assured.
- Cisco Ramon: I got your text. What's up.
- [seeing Ralph's corkboard]
- Cisco Ramon: Okay, Carrie Matthison, red string much?
- Ralph Dibny: I've been tracking Sue since she disappeared. She's hit five banks in five locations. Every single one of them was doing some schmoozy cocktail party when she did it. And while everybody was sipping champagne and eating an overpriced meal, bam. Server rooms get hacked.
- Cisco Ramon: Oh. I know that look. You found her next target.
- Ralph Dibny: Of course I found her next target. The First National CC Bank is holding an investors' brunch for their biggest clients. Fits Sue's M.O. to a "T". Now, here's where you come in, my friend. I need a hacker who can set up a net to help catch her, somebody who can monitor the security feed, somebody who speaks bandwidth and knows binary.
- Cisco Ramon: Mm, I'm not sure you know how hacking works.
- Ralph Dibny: Please. I've seen "You've Got Mail" several times.
- Ralph Dibny: Okay, the investors' brunch is in full swing. Now, you go get us eyes on that server room. I gotta tinkle.
- [seeing Cisco's look]
- Ralph Dibny: Yeah, I heard what I said.
- Joe West: It was crazy. It was like it was accelerating by itself. I mean, I know you won't believe this, but it was like somebody cut the brakes while I was driving. Is that even possible?
- Barry Allen: I-I don't know. I'll find out.
- Chief David Singh: Are you sure you're okay?
- Joe West: I'm fine. It's Carver that needs to worry.
- Cecile Horton: You think Carver's the one behind this?
- Joe West: Well, he knows I took down one of his assassins, Millie Rawlins, AKA Sunshine. And he knows I'm the lead on the RICO case we're building against him.
- Chief David Singh: Well, if that's true, we have to get you into witness protection. You're just not safe out here, Joe.
- Joe West: David, I'm not going anywhere. Look, if Carver is coming after me, that means he is scared. What do scared people do? They make mistakes. We need to take advantage of that.
- Chief David Singh: Fine. Fine. You have my complete support, Joe, as always. But if anything happens, I'll never forgive myself.
- Eva McCulloch: Hello, Joseph. You're a hard man to get a hold of.
- Joseph Carver: That's on purpose.
- [about to smash the mirror]
- Eva McCulloch: Wait. I just have one little thing I need from you... an apology.
- Joseph Carver: Seriously? That's what this is about?
- Eva McCulloch: I wanted to help the world. Now you're destroying it.
- Joseph Carver: I am keeping it safe.
- Eva McCulloch: You let me rot in here while you took everything I created. I had a vision for humankind.
- Joseph Carver: So did I! And now I'm making it a reality.
- Eva McCulloch: This is your last chance, Joseph.
- Joseph Carver: Threats are for real people, Eva, not phantoms, because that's what you are. And me... Darling... I'm untouchable. Literally.
- [smashes the mirror]
- Iris West-Allen: I trusted you, Barry. Now we have something else in common. We both lost our parents. I hope that was worth it.
- Joseph Carver: Sunshine keeping quiet?
- Maurice: Our sources confirms she hasn't said a word since her arrest yesterday. But Captain West won't stop making noise. He is obsessed with connecting you to Sunshine, Ultraviolet, and Dr. Light.
- Joseph Carver: That won't matter much longer.
- Sue Dearbon: You're so decent. It's nauseating.
- Ralph Dibny: Oh, boy, you should've seen me about two years ago. I was a... I was a real crap-bag. Actually, you probably would have liked that, though.
- Sue Dearbon: I don't know. This whole good-guy thing you got going on, it's... tolerable.
