The Flash (2014) s06e16 Episode Script

[Carver.]
Sunshine keeping quiet? [Maurice.]
Our source 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.
That won't matter much longer.
- When will our guest arrive? - [bones cracking.]
Thanks for coming on short notice.
This is your target.
Kill him, please.
[theme music playing.]
And go! [Joe.]
I can't wait.
Oh.
- Like, a map of some kind? - [Cisco.]
No.
- That's a flux capacitor.
- Hold No.
- [Cisco.]
No, that's speed-drawing.
Yeah.
- [Cecile chattering indistinctly.]
They are not gonna get this.
- [Cisco.]
Oh, this is - [Barry.]
Okay.
Hold on.
All right.
- [timer buzzes.]
- [sighs.]
It was gonna be the Eiffel Tower.
Oh, yeah, it looks just like the Eiffel Tower.
- Maybe, like, a radio tower? - [cell phone vibrating.]
It actually does look like that.
I've gotta take this.
Hey, David.
Joe, I know you think we can tie this assassin Sunshine to Carver, but she is just not talking.
Okay, so, let me take a crack at it.
Actually, I need you to take a step back from this case.
You're too close to it.
Besides, you're the captain now.
David, it's because I'm close, that I can rattle her.
Come on.
There's nobody else that can do this.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Is that the Carver case? - Yeah.
- How can I help? - You just conserve your energy.
I'll call you if I need anything.
I gotta go, guys.
- Take care.
- Okay.
[Cecile and Kamilla.]
Bye.
[indistinct chatter.]
I think I found a way out of here.
- What? How? - I started focusing on the monitors.
At first, when I tried, I couldn't read them.
- I would get all these headaches.
- Yeah.
But today, it started to come into focus.
Perfectly clear.
- You're adapting to this place.
- I read your theory that says that someone could pass through the mirror if their molecular structure was destabilized.
- Yes.
- If I could just contact my husband, I think he might be able to help us.
Eva, my husband, Barry Allen, is the Flash.
[scoffs.]
What? And with his speed, I think he could phase us out of here.
If his instantaneous velocity correlates with the limit of the fractal surface then he'll become intangible.
- So it could work.
- Yes.
[sighs.]
I just I need to recharge.
I've been controlling the mirror all morning, and I'm exhausted.
Yeah.
Take all the time you need.
I will, um keep trying to decipher more.
Yeah, you do that.
You're on the right path.
- [chuckles.]
- [door closes.]
She just did exactly what I knew she would do.
She even told me the truth about her husband.
Eva, Joe West is still looking into your husband's activities.
He knows about Black Hole.
Then it's only a matter of time before Barry Allen helps him.
[sighs.]
You have a new mission.
The Flash is losing his speed.
Drain him of the rest.
- Why do you care about the Flash? - I don't.
I care about my husband.
The Flash is not gonna take that away from me.
Success is assured.
[Cisco.]
I got your text.
What's up? Okay, Carrie Mathison.
Red string much? 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.
Oh.
I know that look.
You found her next target.
Of course I found her next target.
First National CC Bank is holding an investors brunch for their biggest clients.
Fits Sue's MO 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 feeds.
Somebody who speaks bandwidth and knows binary.
Mmm, I'm not sure you know how hacking works.
Please.
I've seen You've Got Mail several times.
But I know you've been working on the artificial Speed Force, so I have, but I'm running simulations all day.
Simulations I don't need to be there for.
Look, here's the deal.
I know how hard this case has been on you.
I should've been there to help you from the beginning.
So So, you're in? Will there be waffles? [scoffs.]
There better be waffles.
[upbeat music playing over car stereo.]
[loud rock music playing over car stereo.]
[Joe.]
No! [man laughing.]
[grunts.]
[rock music continues playing over stereo.]
[grunts.]
[grunting.]
[Joe yells.]
Okay? Thank you.
It was crazy.
It was like it was accelerating by itself.
I know you won't believe this, but it was like somebody cut the brakes while I was driving.
Is that even possible? - I don't know.
I'll find out.
- Are you sure you're okay? I'm fine.
It's Carver that needs to worry.
You think Carver's the one behind this? 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.
If that's true, we have to get you in Witness Protection.
- You're just not safe out here, Joe.
- 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.
Fine.
You have my complete support, Joe, as always.
But if anything happens, I'll never forgive myself.
I need to go talk to Rawlins.
[Dibny.]
Okay.
The investors brunch is in full swing.
Now, you go get us eyes on that server room.
I gotta tinkle.
- Yeah, I heard what I said.
- Mmm-hmm.
[softly.]
Okay.
The doctor is in.
Say "aah.
" [exhales.]
[laughs.]
What? You call this an encryption scheme? I could do this with one hand tied behind my back.
[in British accent.]
Prove it.
Uh, Good morning.
Don't mind me.
I'm just doing a routine software update.
Can I have my hand back, please? You dress well for tech support.
I have a good work ethic.
[woman chuckles.]
Funny.
It looked like you were tampering with the facility's security system not repairing it.
[stammers.]
Tampering? Oh! [chuckles.]
- You mean all this? - Yes, all of that.
No, I'm It's This is a procedure we follow to make sure that your money's secure.
That is, if the safety of your money is important to you, Miss Ms.
January Galore.
And the safety of my money is very important to me.
I'm sure it is.
So, what do those little green lights do? [stammering.]
The green lights, they, um they are not important.
I'm actually all done here.
Um - Enjoy the waffles.
- Oh, I will.
[exhales.]
I think they only have apple fritters here.
[Cisco sighs heavily.]
- Are we live? - 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.
- Wait.
January Galore? - That's the one.
That's not good.
She's an arms dealer that Barry and I met in Midway City.
I don't know.
She seemed kind of charming to me.
- Very forward, but charming nonetheless.
- [device trilling.]
Uh-oh.
We're in trouble.
The security feeds are dead.
[sighing.]
Servers are on the fifth floor.
Let's go.
- [sighs.]
- Ew! Ew, ew, ew! What is that? - A perfect disguise.
- A disg [gags.]
I think I just lost my appetite.
Hi, slick.
You miss me? [scoffs.]
Almost as much as I miss Fredrico, my tapeworm.
Hello, Sue.
Or is it January? [in British accent.]
What can I say? Collateralized loan obligations are deliciously robust.
Although not half as delicious as you in a tux.
[sighs.]
Still up to your old tricks, swiping diamonds and pearls? [in normal voice.]
You like Prince? Me, too.
[laughing.]
Yes! Me three.
I'm Cisco, by the way.
We met back when you were January Galore.
That was an excellent accent, by the way.
Do you have any training? Oh, thank you.
I did my senior year abroad.
- London, no doubt.
- Italy, actually.
It She fancy.
You fancy.
- Yeah, thank you.
- Okay.
Sue, you're trapped.
- And you're going down.
- Actually, I'm going up.
[blows kiss.]
Ah! - Did you see that? - What are you Damn it! Uh-oh.
Dibs.
If this is what she used, she has access to all the bank's financial holdings.
Oh, well, it's only several billion dollars.
[groans.]
Millie Rawlins.
This man, he worked for Joseph Carver.
This is what happens to those who fail Carver.
Incentive for the rest of us to succeed.
But you didn't succeed.
So, that probably means you're next.
Now, look.
I can offer you protection, but this is a one-time deal.
Are you interested? No, thanks.
The only way somebody could accelerate the car and simultaneously cut the brakes is from inside the car's engine, which is I mean, obviously, no person could fit inside there.
Ray Palmer could.
Only he's not a murderous sabotaging type.
How about a meta-human who could squeeze into tight places? Likes to watch his victims suffering up close.
Rag Doll.
[Joe.]
Now what would First Lieutenant Millie Rawlins a soldier who rescued 14 friendlies from an insurgent labor camp think of what you've become now? You were honorable.
Legion of Merit.
Medal of Valor.
Millie, restore that honor.
Help me stop Joseph Carver before it's too late.
[Sunshine gasping.]
Get down! [Joe grunting.]
What the hell? - [Joe yelling and groaning.]
- [the Flash panting.]
Joe? Hey.
[door creaks.]
I'm sorry.
I'm fine.
I'm all bandaged up.
All right, Joe, that's twice now.
And that's twice I've gotten a clean bill of health.
- All right.
- Wait.
Hold on.
Where are you going? 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 He's a dangerous psycho and he's got your number.
All right, look.
I hate to say it, but I don't know, it feels like maybe Singh was right and you should let this go for a while.
So, you're gonna take me off the case now? No, I just I'm trying to keep you safe, all right? I'm not fast enough to do that anymore.
I mean, look at your arm.
Barry, you know I'm not gonna stop if I'm this close.
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? - Fine.
- Joe - Hey, you okay? - I'm good.
- What happened? - There was gunfire.
And I wasn't fast enough to stop all the bullets.
He's fine, but it's my fault that he got hurt.
- Barry, your speed.
- Yeah.
- It's getting worse.
- I know.
What are you gonna do? I'm gonna use facial recognition algorithms and meta-human trackers.
I'm gonna find Rag Doll and stop him if I have to use every last resource in S.
T.
A.
R.
Labs to do it.
Except the one that counts.
[Barry sighs.]
Barry, you promised me that you would keep him safe.
- I know.
- I can't lose my dad.
You won't.
I swear.
I [Barry sighs.]
[doorbell rings.]
Come in! [door opens.]
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.
Personal.
You made it that way when you tried to kill me.
Twice.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Peter Merkel.
Rag Doll.
The last he was seen was breaking into McCulloch Technologies.
- That was about a year ago.
- Yes.
We have had a number of security issues lately, as I'm sure you're aware.
You know, the strange thing is, the C.
C.
P.
D.
never apprehended him.
He just vanished.
Until today.
Do you know anything about that? Sounds like you've crafted some very interesting narratives about me, Captain West.
[Joe.]
Mmm.
It even sounds like you're saying I hired someone to pop out of a box to assassinate you.
[scoffs.]
I didn't say that Rag Doll popped out of a box.
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.
I'll make you a counteroffer.
You spend 80 years in Iron Heights for attempting to assassinate a precinct captain.
Technology is a fickle mistress.
[watch pulsating and whirring.]
A localized EMP pulse.
[chuckling.]
One of the advantages of owning the most advanced technological institution in the world.
Whatever you think I've done it's a million times worse.
I can eliminate anyone, anywhere.
And that includes you.
Your lovely companion, Ms.
Horton.
Even that precious little baby of yours.
[grunts and groans.]
[Carver laughs.]
[Barry.]
You took your badge off, just walked right in there, knowing what could happen.
What the hell were you thinking? Do you think I went over to Carver's house for some macho BS? You know I'm not proud like that.
I'm just terrified I can't protect my family.
But you're the one who needs protecting right now.
I'm not worried about me, Barry.
I can't lose Cecile and Jenna.
And we can't lose you.
Listen.
Carver has unlimited resources, right? 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 What do you want me to do? Think about Witness Protection.
[Joe grunts.]
Joe, you need to stay alive.
Committing to a five-year investment will guarantee you a 5% return, Miss Genoa.
As for security, our server room is reinforced with military-grade steel alloys.
Hmm, sounds wonderfully impenetrable.
[chuckles.]
[Dibny.]
Yeah, but nothing is impenetrable.
Isn't that right, Ms.
Dearbon? Dearbon? You said your name was Genoa, like the salami.
[speaking in Italian.]
[Dibny speaks in English.]
Yeah, she lied about that.
It's kind of her thing.
She is stupid rich, though.
[woman.]
Oh In that case how do you two know each other? Are you married? - Gross.
- Gross.
Uh Do you mind excusing us for a moment? I would love to speak to my friend about possibly investing here as well.
By all means.
Take your time.
So, slick, you here to make a super-citizen's arrest? - I know what you're up to.
- Really? I'm all ears.
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.
What? No snarky comeback? Oh! Means I'm right.
Are you going somewhere with this? 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.
- Careful, slick.
[scoffs.]
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? Did they lie on their tax returns? They bribe their way into that yacht club? Enough.
Assume whatever you want about me, but don't do it about my parents.
They're good people.
Then let me help you.
I barely know you.
You know everything that matters.
For the record I didn't enjoy tricking you.
Okay, I enjoyed it.
[chuckles.]
But honestly, I felt pretty crappy afterwards.
Why is that? 'Cause you are a good person just like your parents.
You just have some issues.
You're so decent.
It's nauseating.
Oh, boy, you should have seen me about two years ago.
I was a I was a real crapbag.
Actually, you probably would have liked that, though.
I don't know.
This whole good guy thing you got going on? It's tolerable.
Tolerable.
Which is why I'm giving you this.
Look into that.
You might find something interesting.
I did.
[sighs.]
I just talked to Iris.
She said someone tried to kill Captain West.
Yeah.
Joseph Carver.
So, what do we do? Uh, I sent Jenna to stay with her sister Joanie, so, we know she's safe and, uh I don't know.
Cecile, if you're helping Joe, and Carver finds out What? Do you think he's gonna come after me, too? If he does, he'll have to go through me.
Come here.
[Nash.]
Me, too.
Sorry.
I couldn't help but overhear, but I'm here to help keep everyone safe.
You feel safe? We're safe.
You, not so much.
[Nash sighs.]
Allegra.
Hey, Allegra.
Come on.
Hey, what can I do to fix this? I feel terrible.
What about how I feel? I've been lied to before.
A lot.
By pretty much anyone who has ever said they cared about me.
And now, you expect me to smile and say it's all okay because you feel bad? No.
I [sighs.]
What am I supposed to do? Walk away.
[sighs.]
Great.
[bone cracks.]
[floor clinks.]
[Nash.]
Allegra! [Nash yelling in pain.]
[Rag Doll.]
Argh! [panting.]
[screams.]
Ahhh! [panting.]
[whispering indistinctly.]
It's too much pain.
[Cecile shrieks.]
You will bring so much suffering.
[screaming.]
Barr.
Rag Doll took Cecile.
He sent this.
[Rag Doll over phone.]
So much delicious suffering.
See you soon, Captain.
All right.
I can track Cecile's phone, but, Joe, he wants you to find her, just like he used me to lure Iris.
It's a trap.
If something happens to her, it's on me.
No, we're gonna bring her home.
- But what about your speed? - Don't worry about my speed.
I'll do whatever I can, all right? I won't hold back until she's safe.
Let's go.
- You okay? - I'm okay.
I'm good.
Joe, find Cecile.
I'll hold him off.
[Rag Doll.]
Run, Captain.
Run.
Cecile! Babe! [objects clattering.]
[muffled Rag Doll grunting.]
[Joe muffled.]
Babe! Babe, I'm coming.
[muffled grunting.]
[breathing heavily.]
Okay.
[gasping.]
Careful.
Don't touch me.
It's a pressure bomb.
If it's not weighted down, it'll explode.
How do you know that? He told me to tell you.
Okay.
[Rag Doll.]
I see you.
Missed me.
Almost.
Getting closer.
[the Flash grunting.]
Suffer.
Nice and slow.
- [cell phone vibrating.]
- Ow.
Captain West, Rag Doll was here.
Yeah, I know.
He took Cecile.
I'm here with her now.
Listen, I need your help defusing an explosive.
What kind of device is it, Captain? It is a Michael 112 composition Charlie four, block demolition charge.
C-4.
Block demolition charge.
Yeah, got it.
Okay.
So, easy.
Open the outer panel.
You're gonna see four wires.
Pull the green one.
There are more than four wires and they're all green.
- I got this.
- But how? Captain Okay.
Babe, do you remember dancing at your cousin's wedding? [hesitating.]
When you were stepping on my toes until we finally got in sync? - Yeah, we're gonna do that now.
- What? No.
Shh! We do not have time.
- I can't let you do that.
- Follow me.
[Cecile vibrating.]
- On three, move.
Okay? - Okay.
- One, two, three! [grunting.]
- [Cecile exclaims.]
[bomb trilling.]
We lost a minute.
[the Flash grunting.]
[Rag Doll screams.]
[Rag Doll gasps and groans.]
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.
If you're not trying to kill Joe for money, why are you doing this? [Rag Doll.]
For 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.
[Rag Doll laughing.]
[panting.]
Joe, what did you do? What I had to do.
Please, get Cecile out of here now.
No.
I don't wanna leave you.
Cecile, please.
Make sure that Jenna is safe.
- Joe, I'm not - Barry, go.
Now.
[Cecile breathing heavily.]
Okay.
All right.
Come on.
Let's go.
- Barry! - I have to try.
[grunting.]
[gasps.]
[panting.]
I should go into WITSEC.
- Federal agents will be here any minute.
- [Cecile sniffles.]
They'll be the only ones who know where you're going.
They'll keep you safe, Joe.
At least till we get this Carver mess sorted out.
Thank you, David.
For everything, man.
Iris isn't answering her phone.
She needs to know this is happening.
They're here.
[sighs.]
I can maybe Just tell Iris I love her, okay? [sniffles.]
Okay, I don't think I can do this.
- Yes, you can.
- No, I can't.
Yes.
Listen.
I have to go.
It's the only way to keep our family safe.
You just tell little baby Jenna that her daddy's gonna come home - as soon as he possibly can, okay? - [sobs softly.]
- I love you, Cecile Horton.
- I love you.
I love you.
Listen.
Iris and I, we're gonna take down Carver and Black Hole, and then we're gonna bring you home.
I promise.
- Keep Iris safe.
- I will.
[exhales.]
Joe West is out of the way, as requested.
Success is assured.
Good.
If anyone's gonna make my husband pay for what he did, it's gonna be me.
Looks like Captain Joe West will no longer be a problem.
[Maurice over phone.]
Someone else must have heard the good news, too, because they sent you a gift.
I had it delivered.
Hello, Joseph.
You're a hard man to get a hold of.
That's on purpose.
Wait.
I just have one little thing I need from you.
An apology.
[snickers.]
Seriously? - That's what this is about? - I wanted to help the world.
Now, you're destroying it.
I am keeping it safe.
You let me rot in here, while you took everything I created.
- I had a vision for humankind! - So did I! And now, I'm making it a reality.
This is your last chance, Joseph.
Threats are for real people, Eva.
Not phantoms.
Because that's what you are.
And me? [breathes deeply.]
Darling I'm untouchable.
Literally.
[chuckles.]
[chuckles.]
[door closes.]
I just talked to David.
- Is my dad really gone? - I tried calling you.
That's your excuse? My dad is in Witness Protection, Barry.
- You should have come to get me.
- Yeah.
Iris, there wasn't enough time.
You're the Flash, Barry.
You can make a second last an hour.
Where is he? - I honestly don't know.
- When is he coming back? The second that we catch Carver.
Carver's pockets are lined with politicians and lawmakers, Barry.
Not to mention assassins.
It could be years before we catch him.
Iris, I'm so sorry, but Cecile was almost killed, and then Joe.
He had to leave right away, or else Carver may come after Jenna or you next.
- Carver already came after me.
- And I wasn't here to protect you.
Look, I'm trying to keep this family safe.
I want you to take me to him right now.
I told you.
I don't know where he's going.
You don't need to, Barry.
They left, what, like, 30 minutes ago? They're probably still within a 50-mile radius.
With your speed, you could search the entire area in seconds.
- You know I can't.
Not anymore.
- Can't or won't? - It's not that simple.
- Yes, it is, Barry! No, it isn't! Look, Iris, 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.
- I trusted you, Barry.
- Iris, I Now, we have something else in common.
We both lost our parents.
I hope that was worth it.
Where are you going? Iris? I want you to leave.
- You can't be serious.
- 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.
- Iris - I want you to get out.
Please.
Okay, look, we can work through this.
- You're my home.
- Not anymore.
Leave.
