The Flash (2014) s04e14 Episode Script
Subject 9
1 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.
But I became lost in time.
It took everything in my friends' power to bring me back, and in doing so our world was opened up to new threats.
And I'm the only one fast enough to stop them.
I am the Flash.
Previously on "The Flash.
" 12 markers, 12 metas.
Your body's deteriorating faster than the chair can handle.
I didn't just take Dominic's body.
I took his ability.
Sylbert Rundine can shrink objects and return them to original size.
Deacon controls technology.
Becky Sharpe can manipulate luck.
There's nothing keeping him from going in the meta wing and absorbing the powers.
You should be able to change into anyone you can think of.
How's this? - I believe you are looking for me.
- It's Ralph.
Barry Allen is hereby released immediately.
He only wants the bus metas.
He wants their powers.
Why is everyone looking at me like I'm a dead man? [CALM MUSIC.]
[ELEVATOR DOOR DINGS.]
[SIGHS.]
Addie, hey, what's going on? I think you should talk to Kat.
About what? Just go see him, Allen.
Okay.
Tolerate the behavior that the previous administration Addie said you wanted to see me.
Yeah, shut the door.
I promise you we will root out all corruption at all levels and restore your faith in public servants.
The name Van Buren is a name that has always stood for integrity.
I may be the Mayor We've got a problem that I'm not sure how to fix.
All right.
Some people don't think you should be back on the force.
- Because of DeVoe? - Mm-hmm.
I was cleared of all charges.
I didn't do anything.
He's alive.
I know, and he's been cooperating, coming in, answering questions.
So what's the problem? Look People nowadays will believe anything.
Fake news, social media.
Allegations are treated as facts.
But DeVoe being alive? Showing up in the courtroom at your appeal hearing? Some people in Central City don't buy it's actually him.
Well, who do they think it was? Who the hell knows? But we live in a city full of meta-humans.
It's a conspiracy theorist's dream.
So, what does this mean? Are you you firing me? Not firing.
But I have been asked to request that you take a leave of absence.
[SCOFFS.]
By whom? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Thinks it'll be easier for everyone.
Restoring the faith and all that.
For how long? Indefinitely.
Look, Barry, if you want me to fight this thing, I'll do what I can.
But this new Mayor, she's got a lot to prove since the Bellows debacle.
When do you think I can come back? When everyone believes DeVoe is really alive and well.
It's not permanent, is it? I mean, he said it was indefinite.
They wouldn't have given you your ID back if it was for good.
I mean, maybe this is for the best, Barry.
I mean, you need to prove that DeVoe is still alive.
And you can do that now as The Flash.
Yeah, maybe.
How are we doing with him, by the way? We know that we still have four bus metas left to find.
And that DeVoe has absorbed the powers of Killgore, Hazard, Black Bison, Brainstorm, and Dwarfstar.
Fallout is safe with Tracy.
But the Weeper is M.
I.
A.
Then DeVoe must have him.
Well, that just leaves Ralph.
Ralph is safe with us.
But the other four metas aren't.
DeVoe will absolutely kill them and take their powers.
But why does he need their powers? I can't figure out his end game.
I don't know.
I just know that these last four metas are the key.
That's why we need to find them.
And find them we will.
Where have you guys been? A little home away from home, otherwise known as the bus depot.
But I showed Cisco here an old P.
I.
trick I learned from my mentor, Columbo.
Lost and found box from meta bus 405.
Question for the room, how did I get stuck doing the buddy system thing with Ralph? It's the best way to keep Ralph safe, Cisco.
Yeah, it's the best way to keep Ralph safe, Cisco.
Well, clearly you've never had to stay over at an apartment that uses neon beer signs for lamps and the kitchen sink for a shower.
Ralph, I love you.
But you sleep on a futon.
Futon's not that bad.
It is when it's damp.
Why is it damp? I sweat a lot when I sleep.
You nasty.
[QUIRKY MUSIC.]
Oh, hey, my retainer.
Been looking for this.
[LAUGHS.]
Retainer.
Okay, you made your point.
Not that the point needed to be made.
I'll take the next shift.
You're a good man, Barry Allen.
Really? Who uses CDs anymore? A musician trying to catch their break.
Izzy Bowen.
[COUNTRY ROCK MUSIC PLAYS.]
Ugh, country.
Music's tone deaf stepchild.
All right, remember anyone on the bus with a fiddle? There was a guy with a cowboy hat on sitting behind me.
Maybe it was him.
Boy, I sure wish we had a way of finding out.
Izzy Bowen.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Izzy, you wanna give us one more mic check? Check one, check, check, one two.
Okay, well, it's a her, not a him.
And she's playing a gig at the Busted Saddle.
All right.
Ralph, let's go.
No, no way.
I hate country music.
Well, buddy system.
It's my turn.
- Come on.
- [SIGHS.]
If you insist.
[QUIRKY MUSIC.]
Stand on the box stomp your feet Start clapping Got a real good feeling Something bad about to happen [MIRANDA LAMBERT'S "SOMETHIN' BAD" PLAYS.]
Pulled up to the church but I got so nervous Had to back it on up Couldn't make it to the service I grabbed all the cash underneath my mattress Got a real good feeling something bad about to happen [OMINOUS MUSIC.]
She's good.
She's improving, but she lacks refinement.
So you're not impressed by her at all? The resting face of my current visage may be more pleasant than the one I used to display.
But I assure you, this is not the look of a man awed by symphonic greatness.
Clifford! Clifford! [MOANS.]
This body, it's deteriorating rapidly.
The additional dark matter in your system from each of your new powers is wearing down your host.
It's straining too much of this body's new energy.
Then I must move into the next one.
But you said that Izzy Bowen wasn't ready, that we needed to find another.
We don't have time.
We must act now.
[BEEPING.]
We may be too late.
Izzy Bowen? That's me.
My name is Barry Allen.
I'm with CCP [COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS.]
Is that a label? - Um - Maybe on another Earth.
Okay, well, you want an autograph or a phone number, something? Uh, no, no.
Nothing like that.
Okay.
Well, if it ain't business and it ain't pleasure, then we got nothing left to talk about, now do we? Oh.
Do it again next week.
Great work.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Let me explain.
Um Uh Someone very smart and very dangerous is coming after you.
Me? Yep.
[LAUGHS.]
Okay, now, why in the name of God would anybody dangerous be coming after me? Because you have powers.
Four months ago, you were on Central City bus 405.
That bus got showered with dark matter and made everyone on it a meta-human.
Now the person responsible for doing that wants those powers for themself.
Okay, and let me guess.
You boys are here to protect me.
Something like that.
Look, we can explain more later, but now we just need you to come with us.
Oh, no, that's not necessary.
My daddy bailed.
Mama bailed not long after.
And I have been looking out for myself my entire life.
This time it's different.
You can't.
Please.
We need to go.
I ain't going anywhere with either of you.
I think you should reconsider that.
I don't give a damn what you think.
[SCREECHING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS.]
I guess now we know what her power is.
- What? - What? - Yeah! - Yeah.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
You two are lucky.
Barry, your ear is almost healed, and Dibny, yours just stretched.
Well, I still can't hear all that great.
Consider that a blessing in disguise.
Less twang in your future.
Give it an hour.
You'll be fine.
So Izzy Bowen can control music.
More like sound waves.
Soundwave.
That's a great name.
It would be, if it wasn't already taken by a Transformer.
Okay, well, it looks like billions of tiny shrapnel - ripped through this.
- Exactly.
Sound is just the force of billions of tiny gas molecules colliding into one another.
So if you can harness and amplify kinetic energy, - you get - Molecular shrapnel.
Okay, well, we gotta keep searching.
If we can't track her down soon, she's gonna fall right into DeVoe's hands.
Speaking of tracking people down, when's Harry getting back from Earth Two? [BARDO & TALIA'S "DÃJAME" PLAYS.]
You tell me you love me DA Cecille Horton.
Harry, hey.
When did you get back from the Earth? Just got back.
Getting myself a little pick me up.
You and me both, kid.
- Okay, good talk.
- Yeah.
[BOTH CLEARING THROAT.]
Actually, you know, I don't think that, uh, pregnant people are supposed to consume caffeine.
Uh, yeah, doctor says one cup a day is fine.
And lord knows I need it.
[YAWNING.]
I need it more than you could possibly imagine.
Apparently.
Must be exhausting.
It is.
He's keeping me up all night.
"He"? I thought Alan said you were having a girl.
Yeah, and I'm not talking about the baby.
I'm talking about Joe.
Joe is keeping me up.
[STAMMERS.]
No, Harry, come here.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
[SIGHS.]
My newfound ability to hear people's thoughts.
- Oh, see, I thought - Yeah, I can hear Joe, his thoughts I can hear them while he's asleep.
- All night long.
- You hear his dreams.
Yep.
And they are crazy and fast.
And oh so very loud.
It is like living in the middle of an action movie, Harry.
I love Joe West with all my heart, but I am telling you, I just I can't [YAWNS.]
I'm so tired.
I can't take it anymore.
Yeah, well, that sucks, DA Cecille Horton.
- Yes, it does.
- Okay.
Actually, I might be able to build something that can help you with that.
Oh, Harry, thank you.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Satellite's been running all day, but it's still not picking up any irregular sound variances.
I checked the city.
I can't find her.
- Babe, you checked the whole city? - Yeah.
Look, we have to find her before DeVoe.
Her life's on the line.
She had another gig this week.
I doubt she'd skip town.
How would Dibny P.
I.
suggest we find her? Well, since you asked, has anyone checked her web site? "Has anyone checked her web site?" Dibs, of course we've checked her web site.
[QUIRKY MUSIC.]
No one has checked her web site? - Iris! - Yeah, I'm-I'm on it.
I'm looking now.
Um [BEEPING.]
Guys, she's still in town.
"I just picked up the first run of my next single and love the geniuses at Saloon Sounds.
" All right, Ralph.
Take two.
Cisco, we might need Vibe's help.
Giddy up.
Come on, let's go.
We're in a hurry.
[THUNDERING.]
Izzy Bowen, we need you to come with us.
- Flash? - You're in danger.
I know, everybody keeps telling me that.
And you're gonna keep hearing it until it sinks in.
You just have to trust us.
We're not gonna hurt you, but we know someone who will.
Who is going to hurt me? I am.
[LAUGHS.]
Y'all came to warn me about her? DeVoe.
Hello, Flash.
You're gonna leave Izzy alone.
You know, you really don't learn from our past encounters, do you? You're not smart enough to stop me from getting what I want.
And what I want now is her.
That's not gonna happen.
It's three against one, genius.
Check your math, Vibe.
It's three against six.
Though I doubt I'll need to use all of my powers against you.
[RUMBLING.]
[GRUNTS.]
ALL: [GRUNTING.]
You stay away from me! [ECHOING AND RUMBLING.]
[WHIRRING.]
You just hurt DeVoe.
Who the hell's DeVoe? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
So you're telling me that this three foot tall chick that tried to kill me is actually this Clifford DeVoe? Oh, yeah.
100% dude.
Mmm-hmm.
DeVoe is transferring his consciousness to the other bodies of all the other people who were on the bus and got their powers with you.
Wait, this this little girl wants my body? That's why we're trying to protect you.
DeVoe's already taken most of his targets.
No, this ain't happening.
Not now.
I only got my powers recently.
And now it's like I've got a deeper connection to my music than I've ever had.
I'm about to record the rest of my new album.
- I'm about to go on tour - Izzy, your album can wait.
This threat is real.
So is my big break.
Do you have any idea how hard I've had to work for this? I left my home.
I lost friends and good men, and I have put up with more crap than you could imagine so that one day I would get my dream.
And now you're telling me that some pint-sized lunatic is just gonna take it all away? Which is exactly why we want you to stay here - at S.
T.
A.
R.
Labs.
- Why? Are y'all gonna protect me or something? We're gonna train you.
BOTH: We are? Guys, her powers weakened DeVoe.
Izzy, that makes you our best shot at stopping him.
No, no, this This is all too much.
I don't even know who you people are.
We don't have time for this.
Flash! You're that guy from before.
Yeah, Barry Allen.
And so are you, aren't you? Yeah.
Ralph.
Ralph Dibny.
I'm, uh, Cisco.
Cisco Ramon.
- It's nice to meet you.
- Okay, thank you.
Look, look, I I don't need training.
Especially from you.
All I need is my life back.
[SIGHS.]
I don't know, guys.
I kinda feel like if I just followed her into that hallway and just gave her one of those "Hey, look," inspirational talks, I could probably get her to stay.
Then what are you still doing here? Sorry, I don't know if you, like, drew straws for this stuff or something.
- No, go! - Okay.
[QUIRKY MUSIC.]
I'd watch out if I were you.
Sometimes killer robots come out of there.
Keep walking, Stretch.
I don't talk to creeps in dark hallways dressed in purple leather.
It's actually, uh, more of a mauve.
And, uh, I'm not a creep.
Look, Izzy, I know how you're feeling.
That day that you got your powers, I was on the same bus.
So that evil chipmunk, she wants to kill me, too.
Please.
I think I'd remember seeing you on my bus.
Actually I was kind of, uh, big boned back then.
I was on a strict diet of gin, donuts, and regret.
But I got another shot at it.
And I worked my tight butt off.
And now I'm the hottest superhero in town.
[SCOFFS.]
Please.
My life, it's never been better.
Kinda like yours.
Yeah, but aren't you afraid of losing it all? Yeah, I am.
Which is why I'm a part of this team.
You said that your family bailed on you, so I can understand why you wouldn't trust someone to look out for you, but, Izzy, I can tell you firsthand that these amazing weirdoes, they won't bail.
They created a buddy system for me.
And if you'll stay, they'll keep you safe.
I promise.
[ELEVATOR DINGS.]
So? Who's gonna be my buddy, then? [LAUGHS.]
I may have to pull some strings, but I will see if I am available.
[GIGGLES.]
Subject nine's sonic powers accelerated the deterioration of your internal organs.
She merely disrupted my atrial flutter and bradycardia.
This body is nearly drained anyway.
Its palliation is a waste of time.
I need these biometric scans to fully assess your ailments.
Then you should have built this to work faster.
[HELMET CLANGS.]
I'm doing all I can.
Yet you achieved precisely the opposite.
I couldn't idly stand by and watch you be injured.
Your plan was failing.
Is it possible that the repeated transference has affected your cognitive functioning? [SCOFFS.]
There is nothing wrong with my mind.
Next time I will keep a level head.
[UPBEAT MUSIC.]
Izzy, this will help focus your powers.
Well, this ain't much help in a fight, unless you're dueling the devil.
Don't think of it like a weapon.
Just do what you've always been dreaming to do.
Make your own sound.
Are you my new target, Stretch? Yeah, 'cause I don't break so easy.
[SCOFFS.]
Please.
You're built like a twig.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[WHOOSHING.]
[WHOOSHING.]
DA Cecille Horton.
You look tired.
Yeah, that's 'cause I am tired.
This thing, it doesn't work.
It works because I built it.
And this thing, as you so ineloquently put it, happens to be a mental activity dampener that is ten pounds of cerebellum proof anti-telepathy somani steel.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, that's the problem.
It is It's ten pounds of that stuff.
So? Oh, gee Okay.
[CLANGING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[SIGHS.]
And? I can't sleep like this, Harry.
Does this look comfortable to you? I guess I was While I was pulling state of the art technology out of my ass to help you with your problem, I forgot to make things comfortable for you.
Are you kidding me with comfortable? You know what else I forgot? I guess I also forgot while I was coming up with a generational breakthrough And vibrational brainwave theory, that I was working for the Princess and the Pea.
Stop it! Stop! Put it down.
Harry? Put it down.
Oh, okay.
Just [THUDS.]
What the hell is wrong with you? I'm frustrated.
- You're frustrated? - Yes.
You start yelling at me and throwing things? It is like every awful thought that you have, it just comes pouring out of your mouth totally unfiltered.
I don't even under [GASPS.]
[WHIRRING.]
Is this normal behavior for you? Sometimes behavior.
Okay.
If I wanna hear a grown man scream like a child, I will go home and listen to Joe's stress dreams about showing up naked to math class.
- Eww.
- Just Take your thing, Harry.
[SCOFFS.]
- See you later.
- It's heavy.
[SCREECHING.]
[SIGHS.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
You missed.
Again.
Well, what do you expect, Ralph? I've been doing this all day.
I need a water break.
Maybe we should call it a night.
Not yet.
She's barely landed another shot on Ralph.
She needs more time, Bare.
She held her own against DeVoe.
Totally on raw instinct.
Beginner's luck? I mean, it took months to train Ralph.
We don't have months.
Look, this is our chance to get ahead for once.
If DeVoe shows up again We have to be ready.
All right, Ralph, I'm taking over.
Uh, thanks, Bare, but we kinda got this - covered over here and - Gotta push her, Ralph.
All right, Izzy, I wanna see if you can hit a moving target.
- Okay.
- You ready? [CLANGING AND SHATTERING.]
Nice.
Take it up a few notches.
[THUNDERING.]
[SHATTERING.]
Ow! Barry! Whoa! Mmm! Oh! [RAMATIC MUSIC.]
How's Izzy? She just needs a couple stitches, but she'll be okay.
Ralph won't leave her side.
I think he might really like her.
Ralph shouldn't be bothering her at all.
I mean, she needs to stay focused.
Izzy might be scrappy, but, you know, it's her first day training with powers she's had for a little while.
I know.
Barry, don't you think you're being a little hard on her? No, I'm trying to teach her how to protect herself.
No, it seems like you're trying to turn her into a hero.
And that path just isn't meant for everyone, Barry.
I mean, Izzy's just trying to survive.
Well, she's not going to if I don't push her.
You think this is the only way to fight DeVoe? It's not just about that.
Iris, you weren't at Iron Heights.
I saw up close what DeVoe did to Becky.
To all of them.
They And I I couldn't do anything except just stand and watch it happen.
DeVoe is ruthless.
He's not gonna stop until he's taken her powers and her life.
He's not gonna go easy on her, so neither can I.
I am so sorry that you had to experience that.
But Barry, we can't be ruthless like DeVoe.
He's willing to sacrifice anyone and anything.
Just remember that the next time you're pushing too hard, okay? You of all people know that heroes aren't made overnight.
[KNOCKING AT DOOR.]
Joe's not here.
Well, I don't wanna talk to Joe.
I kind of figured after our last conversation you would never wanna speak to me again.
[RUMBLING.]
You do know I can hear your thoughts, right? Right.
No, Harry, I'm not gonna yell at you again.
- Just - All right, good.
Here.
- That's the - Mental activity dampener.
Sorry version 2.
0.
Just adhere it to your supraobital ridge.
You'll block West out.
Look, I'm sorry about [MIMICS ANIMAL NOISES.]
You know, I just recently can't seem to stop DeVoe, can't stop my daughter Jessie from hating me, can't seem to stop blowing it when I'm trying to befriend someone who's my own age.
Did you just say befriend? That's what you've been trying to do? You've been trying to befriend me? Well, yes, through transitive property.
I respect West, West respects you, so Harry, that was borderline sweet.
Thank you.
Okay, well, let's talk.
When? - Now.
- Okay.
Okay.
- I'm not much - Come on, Harry.
Okay.
What do you wanna talk about? Oh, okay.
I'll start.
Um, you wanna tell me how this thing works? Like, does it does it keep Joe's brainwaves blocked out? Does it keep my mind reading waves locked in? It mostly disrupts inbound brain activity, but I suppose actually if you were to reverse the polarity [WHIRRING.]
Wow, that is interesting.
- Also.
- Yes.
Harry, you have to do that.
- Right.
- Right now.
- Okay, good chat.
- Yeah.
Okay.
Should be good to go.
Might be a little scar, though.
Wouldn't be my first, doc.
Probably won't be my last.
It will be, if I have anything to do with it.
Why would you have anything to do with it? I'm gonna go.
Wh What are you doing? The way I see it, I've gotten more hurt here than I ever did fighting DeVoe, so I'm not going to spend another second training.
Okay, that is a really bad idea.
I've already hurt DeVoe.
By myself, without y'all.
I can do it again.
Izzy, the only way for you to stay safe is for you to stay with us.
It's the buddy system, right? You're not my buddy, Ralph.
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Don't do this.
[SCREECHING.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Sorry, Ralphie.
Initially I envisioned the mental activity dampener as just disrupting inbound brainwave broadcasts, but I talked to DA Cecille Horton and we had the idea to invert the polarity allowing this to disrupt outbound brainwave broadcasts as well.
- So we - We could use this against DeVoe.
We could use this against DeVoe.
That's brilliant.
I'm totally on board.
Except mental activity dampener? Ramon, the name's no good.
Which is why Drum roll, please I have decided to rename this the cerebral inhibitor.
This is where we came up with the cerebral inhibitor to use against DeVoe.
What's that? What are you guys doing? What are What are those faces? When Savitar came to S.
T.
A.
R.
Labs, he said we would build a device to use against DeVoe.
The cerebral inhibitor.
I wish I had known that before I spent all this time trying to come up with the second name.
Naming is hard.
Okay, so we can use this on DeVoe to keep him from projecting his consciousness - into new bodies.
- Precisely.
How does it work? Just affix it to his forehead.
It activates.
Simple as that.
I'll make a few adjustments, you'll be good to go.
All right.
Okay, when Harry's done, we go after DeVoe.
I mean, we have Izzy's powers, the cerebral inhibitor I mean, we have everything that we need to stop him.
Except that we don't.
Izzy's gone.
What? What happened? What did you say to her? - Me? - Yeah.
Rookie, Homeslice hit the road because of you.
She's convinced she can take on DeVoe by herself.
That's what she's gone to do.
You kept pushing and pushing her.
Pushed her right out the door, man.
Okay, that's not fair.
No, it's all right.
I did, I pushed her too hard.
It's my fault that she's out there.
But if DeVoe gets to her before we do That cannot happen.
Cisco, you need to use your ESPN and find out where she is.
Give me that thing.
[RUMBLING.]
Hey, blondie! You want trouble? Here I am.
[THUNDERING.]
Well! Look who finally decided to show her sorry face.
Nobody likes a peeping Tom.
Good-bye, Mr.
Ramon.
[RUMBLING.]
[CRASHING.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- [GASPS.]
Cisco, are you okay? Can you hear me? She's at the warehouse district.
DeVoe's there.
I can't go with you guys.
I gotta take care of Cisco.
All right, Ralph, it's just me and you.
Come on.
Bravo, Ms.
Bowen.
Of all my subjects, you're the only one to mount a credible defense against me.
Darlin', you talk too much.
[SCREECHING.]
[WHOOSHING.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
A modicum of bad luck at a time like this.
How unfortunate.
You're quite the fiddler.
The fiddler, Mr.
Ramon might say, nailed it and won.
[THUNDERING.]
Ralph? You came after me.
We all did.
Hey, Ralph, I'll keep DeVoe busy.
You just get the inhibitor on.
Hello, Mr.
Allen.
DeVoe, you're not getting her.
[THUNDERING.]
[HIGH PITCHED RINGING.]
[SCREAMS.]
[GRUNTS.]
Flash! [GROANING.]
Poor Dominic.
He didn't know he could affect minds as well as read them.
Now I've taught you what a brain aneurysm feels like.
[GRUNTS.]
Get out of here.
[GROANING.]
[GRUNTS.]
Ah, crap! [THUNDERING.]
- [CRASHING.]
- [GRUNTS.]
[GROANS.]
Thank you, Mr.
Rundine.
[LAUGHS.]
[WHIRRING.]
That'll teach you to mess with a country girl.
[BEEPING.]
Cerebral inhibitor's attached.
Is it working? Oh, it's working.
How did Mr.
Deacon put it? Ah, yes.
Call me Killgore.
[BEEPING.]
The hell? Did she hack the inhibitor? No, no, no, that's impossible.
There's a kill switch microchip that prevents the patch from networking.
I can hear your radio signal, Mr.
Wells.
You told me once I wasn't as smart as I thought.
Wrong again.
[GRUNTS.]
[GROANING.]
[HEAVY BREATHING.]
Izzy! [GRUNTING.]
[THUNDERING.]
[GRUNTS.]
Oh! [ELECTRIC SHOCKS.]
- Ralph? - Hey! - [GRUNTS.]
- [THUNDERING.]
Get her out of there! Ralph, we can't.
Get her out! [BUZZING.]
We can't.
[HEAVY BREATHING.]
[WHIRRING.]
Izzy, just look at me.
[CLINKING.]
[MOANING.]
Izzy! Keep looking at me! [MOANING.]
[WHIRRING.]
[LAUGHS.]
Much better.
[SIGHS.]
Oh, please inform Mr.
Ramon that, while I had no need for all six of my powers, I now have a seventh.
I'm afraid I'm gonna be busy with my wife this weekend, Ralphie.
No.
[BUZZING.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
- How's Ralph? - Not great.
This shouldn't have happened.
DeVoe wasn't supposed to walk away from this.
Yeah, well, he did.
- Because of me.
- We all tried to protect her.
I built the inhibitor, Snow.
If it failed, it's my fault.
And I don't even know why.
Maybe I overestimated the micro-combustion infrastructure, or maybe I underestimated the amount of time between each synapse router, or Maybe it didn't malfunction at all.
Guys, Savitar said that we would use the cerebral inhibitor against DeVoe.
Yeah, he didn't say it was gonna work.
Yeah, well, it didn't work.
'Cause I'm not smart enough to make it work.
Harry! - Where are you going? - Out.
- Guys, we have to find DeVoe again.
- How? Cisco tracked down DeVoe in his Vibe state, and he almost got himself killed.
Actually We might have a different way of pinpointing him.
Check this out.
Space.
The final frontier.
Now you see it [BEEPING.]
Now you don't.
That's exactly what it looks like when DeVoe disappears.
That is the warping signature of someone moving into a pocket dimension.
Does someone wanna explain what that means? Einstein postulated that it was theoretically possible for a region-specific fold in the space time to exist between the four dimensions that we typically think of.
Yeah, that doesn't help.
- It's - [GROANS.]
It's another dimension.
One that you can enter or exit at any location in the world.
Like how DeVoe captured me in that alley but then he brought me back out to somewhere above the city.
Are you saying that DeVoe's lair is in a pocket dimension? Cisco, this is great.
Can we track him? That I'm, uh, still working on.
Okay, work faster.
Just do your best, all right? Let's find him.
- All right.
- I'm gonna go check on Ralph.
All right.
[SIGHS.]
You were right.
As much as I wanna get DeVoe, get back to our lives, I can't rush this.
It's gonna be a little hard for a speedster.
Especially an unemployed speedster.
Don't worry.
You're gonna find something.
And until then? You can start by kissing your wife.
[UPBEAT POP MUSIC PLAYS.]
Someone looks busy.
Yep, just a little bit of work.
Why don't you have a [CLEARS THROAT.]
Okay.
- Harry.
- Yes? - I wanted to say thank you.
- For what? The MAD 2.
0.
It works like a charm.
I am rested.
If you could just do something about these swollen pregnant ankles of mine I think that's a normal thing.
Drink lots of water.
Don't cross your legs when you sit.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Thank you for the info.
Least I could do after all the [MIMICS ANIMAL SOUNDS.]
Rage.
I have a problem with rage.
Apparently it tends to crop up when I make mistakes.
Makes it tough to be human.
Well, humans are a tricky species.
Anyway, I apologize.
Apology accepted.
You just needed somebody to talk to.
Yeah, well, I [WHIRRING.]
Are you doing that thing where you're reading my mind? You're reading my mind, aren't you? Maybe.
Yeah, yeah, I am.
You should call her, Harry.
Jessie's on a different planet, DA Cecille Horton.
But this problem isn't gonna just go away.
What if she What if she doesn't come? You're not gonna know unless you invite her.
[CLASSICAL VIOLIN PLAYS.]
- [SIGHS.]
- [CLAPPING.]
That was beautiful.
And a welcome change from the derivative pabulum this body subjected us to before.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Our plan is back on schedule.
Indeed it is.
Only a few more bus metas left to locate.
[BEEPING.]
Stand on the bar stomp your feet Start clapping Got a real good feeling Something bad about to happen [KNOCKING.]
I pulled up to the church Hey, man.
I can come back if No, it's it's okay.
[SIGHS.]
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Look, um I totally understand if you need some time away from the team.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
I mean, to lose someone right in front of you Especially someone you care about Izzy was very special.
She was.
But But now [SIGHS.]
DeVoe's still out there.
And until that threat's over We gotta keep this buddy system going.
[SIGHS.]
I thought you might say that, Allen.
Which is why I got you this.
You want me to be your partner? Oh, hey, come on.
This, uh, this Turner don't need no Hooch.
But I do know what it's like to get fired from CCPD when you didn't even really break the law.
You absolutely broke the law.
And I remember after I lost my job, felt like I lost a piece of my identity.
And now you won't have to deal with that problem.
So the next time we're out in the field and somebody asks you who you work for, you won't have to get all stammery.
You like me.
You really like me.
[CHUCKLES.]
[GROANS.]
Don't go getting all soft on me now, rookie.
You and I, we gotta stand up, and we gotta fight back.
Just like Izzy would have wanted.
That's right.
There's three more people out there who need our help, and we need to find them before DeVoe does.
And after we do that I'm gonna take DeVoe down.
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.
But I became lost in time.
It took everything in my friends' power to bring me back, and in doing so our world was opened up to new threats.
And I'm the only one fast enough to stop them.
I am the Flash.
Previously on "The Flash.
" 12 markers, 12 metas.
Your body's deteriorating faster than the chair can handle.
I didn't just take Dominic's body.
I took his ability.
Sylbert Rundine can shrink objects and return them to original size.
Deacon controls technology.
Becky Sharpe can manipulate luck.
There's nothing keeping him from going in the meta wing and absorbing the powers.
You should be able to change into anyone you can think of.
How's this? - I believe you are looking for me.
- It's Ralph.
Barry Allen is hereby released immediately.
He only wants the bus metas.
He wants their powers.
Why is everyone looking at me like I'm a dead man? [CALM MUSIC.]
[ELEVATOR DOOR DINGS.]
[SIGHS.]
Addie, hey, what's going on? I think you should talk to Kat.
About what? Just go see him, Allen.
Okay.
Tolerate the behavior that the previous administration Addie said you wanted to see me.
Yeah, shut the door.
I promise you we will root out all corruption at all levels and restore your faith in public servants.
The name Van Buren is a name that has always stood for integrity.
I may be the Mayor We've got a problem that I'm not sure how to fix.
All right.
Some people don't think you should be back on the force.
- Because of DeVoe? - Mm-hmm.
I was cleared of all charges.
I didn't do anything.
He's alive.
I know, and he's been cooperating, coming in, answering questions.
So what's the problem? Look People nowadays will believe anything.
Fake news, social media.
Allegations are treated as facts.
But DeVoe being alive? Showing up in the courtroom at your appeal hearing? Some people in Central City don't buy it's actually him.
Well, who do they think it was? Who the hell knows? But we live in a city full of meta-humans.
It's a conspiracy theorist's dream.
So, what does this mean? Are you you firing me? Not firing.
But I have been asked to request that you take a leave of absence.
[SCOFFS.]
By whom? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Thinks it'll be easier for everyone.
Restoring the faith and all that.
For how long? Indefinitely.
Look, Barry, if you want me to fight this thing, I'll do what I can.
But this new Mayor, she's got a lot to prove since the Bellows debacle.
When do you think I can come back? When everyone believes DeVoe is really alive and well.
It's not permanent, is it? I mean, he said it was indefinite.
They wouldn't have given you your ID back if it was for good.
I mean, maybe this is for the best, Barry.
I mean, you need to prove that DeVoe is still alive.
And you can do that now as The Flash.
Yeah, maybe.
How are we doing with him, by the way? We know that we still have four bus metas left to find.
And that DeVoe has absorbed the powers of Killgore, Hazard, Black Bison, Brainstorm, and Dwarfstar.
Fallout is safe with Tracy.
But the Weeper is M.
I.
A.
Then DeVoe must have him.
Well, that just leaves Ralph.
Ralph is safe with us.
But the other four metas aren't.
DeVoe will absolutely kill them and take their powers.
But why does he need their powers? I can't figure out his end game.
I don't know.
I just know that these last four metas are the key.
That's why we need to find them.
And find them we will.
Where have you guys been? A little home away from home, otherwise known as the bus depot.
But I showed Cisco here an old P.
I.
trick I learned from my mentor, Columbo.
Lost and found box from meta bus 405.
Question for the room, how did I get stuck doing the buddy system thing with Ralph? It's the best way to keep Ralph safe, Cisco.
Yeah, it's the best way to keep Ralph safe, Cisco.
Well, clearly you've never had to stay over at an apartment that uses neon beer signs for lamps and the kitchen sink for a shower.
Ralph, I love you.
But you sleep on a futon.
Futon's not that bad.
It is when it's damp.
Why is it damp? I sweat a lot when I sleep.
You nasty.
[QUIRKY MUSIC.]
Oh, hey, my retainer.
Been looking for this.
[LAUGHS.]
Retainer.
Okay, you made your point.
Not that the point needed to be made.
I'll take the next shift.
You're a good man, Barry Allen.
Really? Who uses CDs anymore? A musician trying to catch their break.
Izzy Bowen.
[COUNTRY ROCK MUSIC PLAYS.]
Ugh, country.
Music's tone deaf stepchild.
All right, remember anyone on the bus with a fiddle? There was a guy with a cowboy hat on sitting behind me.
Maybe it was him.
Boy, I sure wish we had a way of finding out.
Izzy Bowen.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Izzy, you wanna give us one more mic check? Check one, check, check, one two.
Okay, well, it's a her, not a him.
And she's playing a gig at the Busted Saddle.
All right.
Ralph, let's go.
No, no way.
I hate country music.
Well, buddy system.
It's my turn.
- Come on.
- [SIGHS.]
If you insist.
[QUIRKY MUSIC.]
Stand on the box stomp your feet Start clapping Got a real good feeling Something bad about to happen [MIRANDA LAMBERT'S "SOMETHIN' BAD" PLAYS.]
Pulled up to the church but I got so nervous Had to back it on up Couldn't make it to the service I grabbed all the cash underneath my mattress Got a real good feeling something bad about to happen [OMINOUS MUSIC.]
She's good.
She's improving, but she lacks refinement.
So you're not impressed by her at all? The resting face of my current visage may be more pleasant than the one I used to display.
But I assure you, this is not the look of a man awed by symphonic greatness.
Clifford! Clifford! [MOANS.]
This body, it's deteriorating rapidly.
The additional dark matter in your system from each of your new powers is wearing down your host.
It's straining too much of this body's new energy.
Then I must move into the next one.
But you said that Izzy Bowen wasn't ready, that we needed to find another.
We don't have time.
We must act now.
[BEEPING.]
We may be too late.
Izzy Bowen? That's me.
My name is Barry Allen.
I'm with CCP [COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS.]
Is that a label? - Um - Maybe on another Earth.
Okay, well, you want an autograph or a phone number, something? Uh, no, no.
Nothing like that.
Okay.
Well, if it ain't business and it ain't pleasure, then we got nothing left to talk about, now do we? Oh.
Do it again next week.
Great work.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Let me explain.
Um Uh Someone very smart and very dangerous is coming after you.
Me? Yep.
[LAUGHS.]
Okay, now, why in the name of God would anybody dangerous be coming after me? Because you have powers.
Four months ago, you were on Central City bus 405.
That bus got showered with dark matter and made everyone on it a meta-human.
Now the person responsible for doing that wants those powers for themself.
Okay, and let me guess.
You boys are here to protect me.
Something like that.
Look, we can explain more later, but now we just need you to come with us.
Oh, no, that's not necessary.
My daddy bailed.
Mama bailed not long after.
And I have been looking out for myself my entire life.
This time it's different.
You can't.
Please.
We need to go.
I ain't going anywhere with either of you.
I think you should reconsider that.
I don't give a damn what you think.
[SCREECHING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS.]
I guess now we know what her power is.
- What? - What? - Yeah! - Yeah.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
You two are lucky.
Barry, your ear is almost healed, and Dibny, yours just stretched.
Well, I still can't hear all that great.
Consider that a blessing in disguise.
Less twang in your future.
Give it an hour.
You'll be fine.
So Izzy Bowen can control music.
More like sound waves.
Soundwave.
That's a great name.
It would be, if it wasn't already taken by a Transformer.
Okay, well, it looks like billions of tiny shrapnel - ripped through this.
- Exactly.
Sound is just the force of billions of tiny gas molecules colliding into one another.
So if you can harness and amplify kinetic energy, - you get - Molecular shrapnel.
Okay, well, we gotta keep searching.
If we can't track her down soon, she's gonna fall right into DeVoe's hands.
Speaking of tracking people down, when's Harry getting back from Earth Two? [BARDO & TALIA'S "DÃJAME" PLAYS.]
You tell me you love me DA Cecille Horton.
Harry, hey.
When did you get back from the Earth? Just got back.
Getting myself a little pick me up.
You and me both, kid.
- Okay, good talk.
- Yeah.
[BOTH CLEARING THROAT.]
Actually, you know, I don't think that, uh, pregnant people are supposed to consume caffeine.
Uh, yeah, doctor says one cup a day is fine.
And lord knows I need it.
[YAWNING.]
I need it more than you could possibly imagine.
Apparently.
Must be exhausting.
It is.
He's keeping me up all night.
"He"? I thought Alan said you were having a girl.
Yeah, and I'm not talking about the baby.
I'm talking about Joe.
Joe is keeping me up.
[STAMMERS.]
No, Harry, come here.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
[SIGHS.]
My newfound ability to hear people's thoughts.
- Oh, see, I thought - Yeah, I can hear Joe, his thoughts I can hear them while he's asleep.
- All night long.
- You hear his dreams.
Yep.
And they are crazy and fast.
And oh so very loud.
It is like living in the middle of an action movie, Harry.
I love Joe West with all my heart, but I am telling you, I just I can't [YAWNS.]
I'm so tired.
I can't take it anymore.
Yeah, well, that sucks, DA Cecille Horton.
- Yes, it does.
- Okay.
Actually, I might be able to build something that can help you with that.
Oh, Harry, thank you.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Satellite's been running all day, but it's still not picking up any irregular sound variances.
I checked the city.
I can't find her.
- Babe, you checked the whole city? - Yeah.
Look, we have to find her before DeVoe.
Her life's on the line.
She had another gig this week.
I doubt she'd skip town.
How would Dibny P.
I.
suggest we find her? Well, since you asked, has anyone checked her web site? "Has anyone checked her web site?" Dibs, of course we've checked her web site.
[QUIRKY MUSIC.]
No one has checked her web site? - Iris! - Yeah, I'm-I'm on it.
I'm looking now.
Um [BEEPING.]
Guys, she's still in town.
"I just picked up the first run of my next single and love the geniuses at Saloon Sounds.
" All right, Ralph.
Take two.
Cisco, we might need Vibe's help.
Giddy up.
Come on, let's go.
We're in a hurry.
[THUNDERING.]
Izzy Bowen, we need you to come with us.
- Flash? - You're in danger.
I know, everybody keeps telling me that.
And you're gonna keep hearing it until it sinks in.
You just have to trust us.
We're not gonna hurt you, but we know someone who will.
Who is going to hurt me? I am.
[LAUGHS.]
Y'all came to warn me about her? DeVoe.
Hello, Flash.
You're gonna leave Izzy alone.
You know, you really don't learn from our past encounters, do you? You're not smart enough to stop me from getting what I want.
And what I want now is her.
That's not gonna happen.
It's three against one, genius.
Check your math, Vibe.
It's three against six.
Though I doubt I'll need to use all of my powers against you.
[RUMBLING.]
[GRUNTS.]
ALL: [GRUNTING.]
You stay away from me! [ECHOING AND RUMBLING.]
[WHIRRING.]
You just hurt DeVoe.
Who the hell's DeVoe? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
So you're telling me that this three foot tall chick that tried to kill me is actually this Clifford DeVoe? Oh, yeah.
100% dude.
Mmm-hmm.
DeVoe is transferring his consciousness to the other bodies of all the other people who were on the bus and got their powers with you.
Wait, this this little girl wants my body? That's why we're trying to protect you.
DeVoe's already taken most of his targets.
No, this ain't happening.
Not now.
I only got my powers recently.
And now it's like I've got a deeper connection to my music than I've ever had.
I'm about to record the rest of my new album.
- I'm about to go on tour - Izzy, your album can wait.
This threat is real.
So is my big break.
Do you have any idea how hard I've had to work for this? I left my home.
I lost friends and good men, and I have put up with more crap than you could imagine so that one day I would get my dream.
And now you're telling me that some pint-sized lunatic is just gonna take it all away? Which is exactly why we want you to stay here - at S.
T.
A.
R.
Labs.
- Why? Are y'all gonna protect me or something? We're gonna train you.
BOTH: We are? Guys, her powers weakened DeVoe.
Izzy, that makes you our best shot at stopping him.
No, no, this This is all too much.
I don't even know who you people are.
We don't have time for this.
Flash! You're that guy from before.
Yeah, Barry Allen.
And so are you, aren't you? Yeah.
Ralph.
Ralph Dibny.
I'm, uh, Cisco.
Cisco Ramon.
- It's nice to meet you.
- Okay, thank you.
Look, look, I I don't need training.
Especially from you.
All I need is my life back.
[SIGHS.]
I don't know, guys.
I kinda feel like if I just followed her into that hallway and just gave her one of those "Hey, look," inspirational talks, I could probably get her to stay.
Then what are you still doing here? Sorry, I don't know if you, like, drew straws for this stuff or something.
- No, go! - Okay.
[QUIRKY MUSIC.]
I'd watch out if I were you.
Sometimes killer robots come out of there.
Keep walking, Stretch.
I don't talk to creeps in dark hallways dressed in purple leather.
It's actually, uh, more of a mauve.
And, uh, I'm not a creep.
Look, Izzy, I know how you're feeling.
That day that you got your powers, I was on the same bus.
So that evil chipmunk, she wants to kill me, too.
Please.
I think I'd remember seeing you on my bus.
Actually I was kind of, uh, big boned back then.
I was on a strict diet of gin, donuts, and regret.
But I got another shot at it.
And I worked my tight butt off.
And now I'm the hottest superhero in town.
[SCOFFS.]
Please.
My life, it's never been better.
Kinda like yours.
Yeah, but aren't you afraid of losing it all? Yeah, I am.
Which is why I'm a part of this team.
You said that your family bailed on you, so I can understand why you wouldn't trust someone to look out for you, but, Izzy, I can tell you firsthand that these amazing weirdoes, they won't bail.
They created a buddy system for me.
And if you'll stay, they'll keep you safe.
I promise.
[ELEVATOR DINGS.]
So? Who's gonna be my buddy, then? [LAUGHS.]
I may have to pull some strings, but I will see if I am available.
[GIGGLES.]
Subject nine's sonic powers accelerated the deterioration of your internal organs.
She merely disrupted my atrial flutter and bradycardia.
This body is nearly drained anyway.
Its palliation is a waste of time.
I need these biometric scans to fully assess your ailments.
Then you should have built this to work faster.
[HELMET CLANGS.]
I'm doing all I can.
Yet you achieved precisely the opposite.
I couldn't idly stand by and watch you be injured.
Your plan was failing.
Is it possible that the repeated transference has affected your cognitive functioning? [SCOFFS.]
There is nothing wrong with my mind.
Next time I will keep a level head.
[UPBEAT MUSIC.]
Izzy, this will help focus your powers.
Well, this ain't much help in a fight, unless you're dueling the devil.
Don't think of it like a weapon.
Just do what you've always been dreaming to do.
Make your own sound.
Are you my new target, Stretch? Yeah, 'cause I don't break so easy.
[SCOFFS.]
Please.
You're built like a twig.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[WHOOSHING.]
[WHOOSHING.]
DA Cecille Horton.
You look tired.
Yeah, that's 'cause I am tired.
This thing, it doesn't work.
It works because I built it.
And this thing, as you so ineloquently put it, happens to be a mental activity dampener that is ten pounds of cerebellum proof anti-telepathy somani steel.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, that's the problem.
It is It's ten pounds of that stuff.
So? Oh, gee Okay.
[CLANGING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[SIGHS.]
And? I can't sleep like this, Harry.
Does this look comfortable to you? I guess I was While I was pulling state of the art technology out of my ass to help you with your problem, I forgot to make things comfortable for you.
Are you kidding me with comfortable? You know what else I forgot? I guess I also forgot while I was coming up with a generational breakthrough And vibrational brainwave theory, that I was working for the Princess and the Pea.
Stop it! Stop! Put it down.
Harry? Put it down.
Oh, okay.
Just [THUDS.]
What the hell is wrong with you? I'm frustrated.
- You're frustrated? - Yes.
You start yelling at me and throwing things? It is like every awful thought that you have, it just comes pouring out of your mouth totally unfiltered.
I don't even under [GASPS.]
[WHIRRING.]
Is this normal behavior for you? Sometimes behavior.
Okay.
If I wanna hear a grown man scream like a child, I will go home and listen to Joe's stress dreams about showing up naked to math class.
- Eww.
- Just Take your thing, Harry.
[SCOFFS.]
- See you later.
- It's heavy.
[SCREECHING.]
[SIGHS.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
You missed.
Again.
Well, what do you expect, Ralph? I've been doing this all day.
I need a water break.
Maybe we should call it a night.
Not yet.
She's barely landed another shot on Ralph.
She needs more time, Bare.
She held her own against DeVoe.
Totally on raw instinct.
Beginner's luck? I mean, it took months to train Ralph.
We don't have months.
Look, this is our chance to get ahead for once.
If DeVoe shows up again We have to be ready.
All right, Ralph, I'm taking over.
Uh, thanks, Bare, but we kinda got this - covered over here and - Gotta push her, Ralph.
All right, Izzy, I wanna see if you can hit a moving target.
- Okay.
- You ready? [CLANGING AND SHATTERING.]
Nice.
Take it up a few notches.
[THUNDERING.]
[SHATTERING.]
Ow! Barry! Whoa! Mmm! Oh! [RAMATIC MUSIC.]
How's Izzy? She just needs a couple stitches, but she'll be okay.
Ralph won't leave her side.
I think he might really like her.
Ralph shouldn't be bothering her at all.
I mean, she needs to stay focused.
Izzy might be scrappy, but, you know, it's her first day training with powers she's had for a little while.
I know.
Barry, don't you think you're being a little hard on her? No, I'm trying to teach her how to protect herself.
No, it seems like you're trying to turn her into a hero.
And that path just isn't meant for everyone, Barry.
I mean, Izzy's just trying to survive.
Well, she's not going to if I don't push her.
You think this is the only way to fight DeVoe? It's not just about that.
Iris, you weren't at Iron Heights.
I saw up close what DeVoe did to Becky.
To all of them.
They And I I couldn't do anything except just stand and watch it happen.
DeVoe is ruthless.
He's not gonna stop until he's taken her powers and her life.
He's not gonna go easy on her, so neither can I.
I am so sorry that you had to experience that.
But Barry, we can't be ruthless like DeVoe.
He's willing to sacrifice anyone and anything.
Just remember that the next time you're pushing too hard, okay? You of all people know that heroes aren't made overnight.
[KNOCKING AT DOOR.]
Joe's not here.
Well, I don't wanna talk to Joe.
I kind of figured after our last conversation you would never wanna speak to me again.
[RUMBLING.]
You do know I can hear your thoughts, right? Right.
No, Harry, I'm not gonna yell at you again.
- Just - All right, good.
Here.
- That's the - Mental activity dampener.
Sorry version 2.
0.
Just adhere it to your supraobital ridge.
You'll block West out.
Look, I'm sorry about [MIMICS ANIMAL NOISES.]
You know, I just recently can't seem to stop DeVoe, can't stop my daughter Jessie from hating me, can't seem to stop blowing it when I'm trying to befriend someone who's my own age.
Did you just say befriend? That's what you've been trying to do? You've been trying to befriend me? Well, yes, through transitive property.
I respect West, West respects you, so Harry, that was borderline sweet.
Thank you.
Okay, well, let's talk.
When? - Now.
- Okay.
Okay.
- I'm not much - Come on, Harry.
Okay.
What do you wanna talk about? Oh, okay.
I'll start.
Um, you wanna tell me how this thing works? Like, does it does it keep Joe's brainwaves blocked out? Does it keep my mind reading waves locked in? It mostly disrupts inbound brain activity, but I suppose actually if you were to reverse the polarity [WHIRRING.]
Wow, that is interesting.
- Also.
- Yes.
Harry, you have to do that.
- Right.
- Right now.
- Okay, good chat.
- Yeah.
Okay.
Should be good to go.
Might be a little scar, though.
Wouldn't be my first, doc.
Probably won't be my last.
It will be, if I have anything to do with it.
Why would you have anything to do with it? I'm gonna go.
Wh What are you doing? The way I see it, I've gotten more hurt here than I ever did fighting DeVoe, so I'm not going to spend another second training.
Okay, that is a really bad idea.
I've already hurt DeVoe.
By myself, without y'all.
I can do it again.
Izzy, the only way for you to stay safe is for you to stay with us.
It's the buddy system, right? You're not my buddy, Ralph.
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Don't do this.
[SCREECHING.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Sorry, Ralphie.
Initially I envisioned the mental activity dampener as just disrupting inbound brainwave broadcasts, but I talked to DA Cecille Horton and we had the idea to invert the polarity allowing this to disrupt outbound brainwave broadcasts as well.
- So we - We could use this against DeVoe.
We could use this against DeVoe.
That's brilliant.
I'm totally on board.
Except mental activity dampener? Ramon, the name's no good.
Which is why Drum roll, please I have decided to rename this the cerebral inhibitor.
This is where we came up with the cerebral inhibitor to use against DeVoe.
What's that? What are you guys doing? What are What are those faces? When Savitar came to S.
T.
A.
R.
Labs, he said we would build a device to use against DeVoe.
The cerebral inhibitor.
I wish I had known that before I spent all this time trying to come up with the second name.
Naming is hard.
Okay, so we can use this on DeVoe to keep him from projecting his consciousness - into new bodies.
- Precisely.
How does it work? Just affix it to his forehead.
It activates.
Simple as that.
I'll make a few adjustments, you'll be good to go.
All right.
Okay, when Harry's done, we go after DeVoe.
I mean, we have Izzy's powers, the cerebral inhibitor I mean, we have everything that we need to stop him.
Except that we don't.
Izzy's gone.
What? What happened? What did you say to her? - Me? - Yeah.
Rookie, Homeslice hit the road because of you.
She's convinced she can take on DeVoe by herself.
That's what she's gone to do.
You kept pushing and pushing her.
Pushed her right out the door, man.
Okay, that's not fair.
No, it's all right.
I did, I pushed her too hard.
It's my fault that she's out there.
But if DeVoe gets to her before we do That cannot happen.
Cisco, you need to use your ESPN and find out where she is.
Give me that thing.
[RUMBLING.]
Hey, blondie! You want trouble? Here I am.
[THUNDERING.]
Well! Look who finally decided to show her sorry face.
Nobody likes a peeping Tom.
Good-bye, Mr.
Ramon.
[RUMBLING.]
[CRASHING.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- [GASPS.]
Cisco, are you okay? Can you hear me? She's at the warehouse district.
DeVoe's there.
I can't go with you guys.
I gotta take care of Cisco.
All right, Ralph, it's just me and you.
Come on.
Bravo, Ms.
Bowen.
Of all my subjects, you're the only one to mount a credible defense against me.
Darlin', you talk too much.
[SCREECHING.]
[WHOOSHING.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
A modicum of bad luck at a time like this.
How unfortunate.
You're quite the fiddler.
The fiddler, Mr.
Ramon might say, nailed it and won.
[THUNDERING.]
Ralph? You came after me.
We all did.
Hey, Ralph, I'll keep DeVoe busy.
You just get the inhibitor on.
Hello, Mr.
Allen.
DeVoe, you're not getting her.
[THUNDERING.]
[HIGH PITCHED RINGING.]
[SCREAMS.]
[GRUNTS.]
Flash! [GROANING.]
Poor Dominic.
He didn't know he could affect minds as well as read them.
Now I've taught you what a brain aneurysm feels like.
[GRUNTS.]
Get out of here.
[GROANING.]
[GRUNTS.]
Ah, crap! [THUNDERING.]
- [CRASHING.]
- [GRUNTS.]
[GROANS.]
Thank you, Mr.
Rundine.
[LAUGHS.]
[WHIRRING.]
That'll teach you to mess with a country girl.
[BEEPING.]
Cerebral inhibitor's attached.
Is it working? Oh, it's working.
How did Mr.
Deacon put it? Ah, yes.
Call me Killgore.
[BEEPING.]
The hell? Did she hack the inhibitor? No, no, no, that's impossible.
There's a kill switch microchip that prevents the patch from networking.
I can hear your radio signal, Mr.
Wells.
You told me once I wasn't as smart as I thought.
Wrong again.
[GRUNTS.]
[GROANING.]
[HEAVY BREATHING.]
Izzy! [GRUNTING.]
[THUNDERING.]
[GRUNTS.]
Oh! [ELECTRIC SHOCKS.]
- Ralph? - Hey! - [GRUNTS.]
- [THUNDERING.]
Get her out of there! Ralph, we can't.
Get her out! [BUZZING.]
We can't.
[HEAVY BREATHING.]
[WHIRRING.]
Izzy, just look at me.
[CLINKING.]
[MOANING.]
Izzy! Keep looking at me! [MOANING.]
[WHIRRING.]
[LAUGHS.]
Much better.
[SIGHS.]
Oh, please inform Mr.
Ramon that, while I had no need for all six of my powers, I now have a seventh.
I'm afraid I'm gonna be busy with my wife this weekend, Ralphie.
No.
[BUZZING.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
- How's Ralph? - Not great.
This shouldn't have happened.
DeVoe wasn't supposed to walk away from this.
Yeah, well, he did.
- Because of me.
- We all tried to protect her.
I built the inhibitor, Snow.
If it failed, it's my fault.
And I don't even know why.
Maybe I overestimated the micro-combustion infrastructure, or maybe I underestimated the amount of time between each synapse router, or Maybe it didn't malfunction at all.
Guys, Savitar said that we would use the cerebral inhibitor against DeVoe.
Yeah, he didn't say it was gonna work.
Yeah, well, it didn't work.
'Cause I'm not smart enough to make it work.
Harry! - Where are you going? - Out.
- Guys, we have to find DeVoe again.
- How? Cisco tracked down DeVoe in his Vibe state, and he almost got himself killed.
Actually We might have a different way of pinpointing him.
Check this out.
Space.
The final frontier.
Now you see it [BEEPING.]
Now you don't.
That's exactly what it looks like when DeVoe disappears.
That is the warping signature of someone moving into a pocket dimension.
Does someone wanna explain what that means? Einstein postulated that it was theoretically possible for a region-specific fold in the space time to exist between the four dimensions that we typically think of.
Yeah, that doesn't help.
- It's - [GROANS.]
It's another dimension.
One that you can enter or exit at any location in the world.
Like how DeVoe captured me in that alley but then he brought me back out to somewhere above the city.
Are you saying that DeVoe's lair is in a pocket dimension? Cisco, this is great.
Can we track him? That I'm, uh, still working on.
Okay, work faster.
Just do your best, all right? Let's find him.
- All right.
- I'm gonna go check on Ralph.
All right.
[SIGHS.]
You were right.
As much as I wanna get DeVoe, get back to our lives, I can't rush this.
It's gonna be a little hard for a speedster.
Especially an unemployed speedster.
Don't worry.
You're gonna find something.
And until then? You can start by kissing your wife.
[UPBEAT POP MUSIC PLAYS.]
Someone looks busy.
Yep, just a little bit of work.
Why don't you have a [CLEARS THROAT.]
Okay.
- Harry.
- Yes? - I wanted to say thank you.
- For what? The MAD 2.
0.
It works like a charm.
I am rested.
If you could just do something about these swollen pregnant ankles of mine I think that's a normal thing.
Drink lots of water.
Don't cross your legs when you sit.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Thank you for the info.
Least I could do after all the [MIMICS ANIMAL SOUNDS.]
Rage.
I have a problem with rage.
Apparently it tends to crop up when I make mistakes.
Makes it tough to be human.
Well, humans are a tricky species.
Anyway, I apologize.
Apology accepted.
You just needed somebody to talk to.
Yeah, well, I [WHIRRING.]
Are you doing that thing where you're reading my mind? You're reading my mind, aren't you? Maybe.
Yeah, yeah, I am.
You should call her, Harry.
Jessie's on a different planet, DA Cecille Horton.
But this problem isn't gonna just go away.
What if she What if she doesn't come? You're not gonna know unless you invite her.
[CLASSICAL VIOLIN PLAYS.]
- [SIGHS.]
- [CLAPPING.]
That was beautiful.
And a welcome change from the derivative pabulum this body subjected us to before.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Our plan is back on schedule.
Indeed it is.
Only a few more bus metas left to locate.
[BEEPING.]
Stand on the bar stomp your feet Start clapping Got a real good feeling Something bad about to happen [KNOCKING.]
I pulled up to the church Hey, man.
I can come back if No, it's it's okay.
[SIGHS.]
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Look, um I totally understand if you need some time away from the team.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
I mean, to lose someone right in front of you Especially someone you care about Izzy was very special.
She was.
But But now [SIGHS.]
DeVoe's still out there.
And until that threat's over We gotta keep this buddy system going.
[SIGHS.]
I thought you might say that, Allen.
Which is why I got you this.
You want me to be your partner? Oh, hey, come on.
This, uh, this Turner don't need no Hooch.
But I do know what it's like to get fired from CCPD when you didn't even really break the law.
You absolutely broke the law.
And I remember after I lost my job, felt like I lost a piece of my identity.
And now you won't have to deal with that problem.
So the next time we're out in the field and somebody asks you who you work for, you won't have to get all stammery.
You like me.
You really like me.
[CHUCKLES.]
[GROANS.]
Don't go getting all soft on me now, rookie.
You and I, we gotta stand up, and we gotta fight back.
Just like Izzy would have wanted.
That's right.
There's three more people out there who need our help, and we need to find them before DeVoe does.
And after we do that I'm gonna take DeVoe down.
