The Flash (2014) s07e03 Episode Script

Mother

[menacing music playing.]
[crackling.]
[breathing heavily.]
Cisco, what [softly.]
Frost.
Frost Barry.
Barry.
Help her.
Help her.
[whimpering.]
Iris.
Iris.
Help her.
Is she gonna be okay? When you pulled Iris out of the Mirrorverse and she resisted, it created a molecular anomaly.
All her neural pathways are disjointed.
Looks like her brain's been remapped.
How do we get her back? I don't know.
All we can do now is let her rest while I run some more tests.
You gonna be okay? I remember everything Hurting my own team, forcing Iris through the portal, leaving Kamilla and Singh trapped.
I'm sorry.
That wasn't you.
- Yeah it was.
- Man, no, it wasn't.
You were not yourself.
Trust me, we get that.
That's why we're going to put it behind us.
We're going to move on, all right? We're a team.
We've got each other's backs.
We're gonna figure out a way to save Iris and Kamilla and Singh.
I promise.
Eva's still out there, and I can't stop her because I don't have my speed anymore.
But you will.
I am running a full diagnostics on the Artificial Speed Force Machine.
It worked before.
It can work again.
All we need to do is figure out.
I think No, I'm done with that thing.
You saw what it turned me into.
I'm not Thawne.
Connecting with something artificial isn't gonna work for me.
And since the real Speed Force is dead - [telephone ringing.]
- [officer 1.]
C.
C.
P.
D.
Wait.
Your wife tried to attack you? Why would your neighbor try to make you look in the mirrors? Hold on.
C.
C.
P.
D.
If he's not your uncle, who is he? Let me get this straight.
You want to help bring your daughter in, Mrs.
Dearbon, so that I can arrest her? Sue's in trouble.
We want to help her see things more clearly.
People change, sometimes overnight.
Captain, can I speak with you? It's relevant.
Excuse me.
Uh Damn! Sue, I thought you and Ralph were laying low until we can clear your name.
Yeah, Ralph's tracking a lead.
Arrest me if you have to.
I had to come.
You mind telling me what's so important that you would risk your freedom? Those people in there, those are not my parents.
I know it sounds crazy.
And when Ralph mentioned pod people a while back, I thought it was nuts, too.
But I'm telling you, that's not them.
No.
I believe you.
I have gotten over a hundred calls in the last hour.
Exact same complaint.
All saying that people they've known for years just aren't themselves anymore.
Do you think this has anything to do with the craziness at McCulloch? Damn.
I know what's happening.
Move.
What the hell.
[reporter.]
Chaos has broken out in downtown Central City, over another meta attack.
After all that, at least Grandma Runk is still my grandma, you know, 'cause I was at Jitters ordering a Viva! ccino! Next thing I know, a pair of "T2" arms jumps out of a counter top trying to grab me.
Fortunately, Chester P.
Runk knows how to mind his surroundings.
[Cisco.]
Yo! I just heard back from Joe.
Whatever is happening out there, it's spreading.
Yeah, Eva's getting more powerful.
I'll say.
I analyzed footage from Eva's live interview.
It's not just mirrors that she's manipulating.
It's any reflective surface now.
[Chester.]
Well, I guess that makes sense.
Light photons are elementary particles that exist everywhere in nature.
So as long as there's light around from either a natural or artificial source Call Joe back, we got to blackout the city.
He can get the mayor to declare a state of emergency.
Okay, I am on it.
Why is Eva doing this? I mean why does she want us in the Mirrorverse? [Barry.]
She wants us out of the way.
These aren't just abductions.
[sirens wailing in distance.]
It's a full-blown invasion.
And with every person that gets replaced, Eva's army grows.
Oh, man.
Body snatchers.
So, what are we gonna do? Boss, you have to get better.
The Citizen doesn't work without you.
So just please come back, okay? Because we're not giving up on you, especially Barry.
What you two have is amazing.
No matter how strong you both are on your own, you're even stronger together.
Don't let Eva McCulloch end what you guys have.
The mayor is doing her best shutting down the power.
Joe said it won't be 100 percent, but I told him we'd take whatever we can get.
In the meantime, initiating shutters on all windows in S.
T.
A.
R.
Labs.
We should cover all the mirrors, too, and kill the lights.
Yes, I'm on it.
Hopefully everybody in Central City does the same thing.
If I had my speed, I could patrol, help people keep safe.
There's got to be a way to save them all, to get Iris back.
[Eva.]
There is [voice echoing.]
Hey, were you saying something? Uh, guys? Where's Barry? [gasping.]
[Eva.]
You're powerless, Flash, but I can help you.
If you let me.
You want to help? Tell me how to save my wife.
She needs to go back where she belongs.
All of you do.
Back to the Mirrorverse.
You see, in the last six years, I've watched people like Joseph destroy the gift around you.
The glorious world filled with wonder.
You and everyone else on this planet have failed.
So now I'm filling it with my children.
And you will treat it, and everyone in it, with respect.
- And what happens to us? - You adapt to your new world.
Same as I did.
Don't worry, Barry.
I'm not gonna kill anyone.
I'm not your enemy.
What I am is a mother to a newer, better world.
You want me to give in.
Just like Ramsey.
Ramsey thought he was a hero.
He wasn't.
You are.
Lead your people to the Mirrorverse.
They'll follow you.
- They'll be happy.
- Were you? Stop fighting me! You've been watching me, Eva.
You know I'd risk my life to save this city.
Those are brave words, Flash.
But are you really willing to do whatever it takes to ensure the survival of humanity? The applications of my reflective chip technology are endless.
I can grow crops tenfolds in abundance.
I can end starvation overnight.
Why haven't you? Why haven't you done the work that really matters? Why haven't you made this world a better place? Because you can't.
I can.
And I will.
I'm not human.
I'm something better.
That is why I am showing you mercy.
So please consider my offer and make the right choice.
Satellites have him at McCulloch.
Barry, I am not losing you, too.
Frost is ready to come out.
Oh, thank Tupac.
How did you escape? I didn't.
Eva let me go.
- Why? What did she want? - To tell us that we can't win.
Well, I hope you told her where to go.
No, she's right.
We can't.
[melancholic music playing.]
Nash.
No.
My name is Harrison.
Dr.
Harrison Wells.
Look, I don't know who you are, but I saw Nash die.
All the other Wells died with him.
[Harrison.]
Exactly.
When Nash Wells gave his life to power the artificial Speed Force, he transferred all the multi-versal particles of all the other Wells into the Fusion Sphere, except for 0.
01 percent.
- And that's me.
- How do particles become a person? I have a theory that when Nash and all the other Wells were removed from the timeline, the universe required a balancing act.
One Wells to make up for all of those lost.
Isn't that cosmic? Crisis.
There was an event.
It took people from other planets and brought them here together.
To the same planet in one timeline.
A temporal coalescence.
That could explain this.
Of all the Wells, you were the one I wanted to meet the most.
- I'm - Barry Allen.
I know.
The other Wells may be gone but they left an imprint.
Memories.
And so let me just say whatever is wrong, let me help you because they would want me to.
You can't.
This enemy that we're facing is all powerful.
Plus, my speed is gone.
Aren't you the Paragon of Love? Look, anyone can save the world with their speed, with their might, but it takes a real hero, a once-in-a-lifetime hero, to do it with his heart.
What is that supposed to mean? It means run, Barry, run toward love.
Nash? No.
Allegra, Nash thought very highly of you.
A new Wells? How's that possible? Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, you're here to save us, right? Also, which one is he? I'm the original.
[sirens wailing in distance.]
Okay.
I had Allegra put out a Citizen e-blast to warn the city about Eva.
- Good work.
- Thanks.
[sighs.]
What is it? That window was blacked out.
Where is everyone? I'm feeling an overwhelming sense of passion.
Confidence.
Focus.
Joe, I [gasps.]
You may as well give up, Captain.
- Joe? - Captain West requesting backup.
No one's coming, Captain.
Cecile, run! - The windows - Um Uh - [line beeps.]
- My phone's not working.
She must've jammed the signal.
Unfortunate.
Wells, Wells, Wells, Wells, Wells, Wells, Wells, Wells, Wells and Wells.
That's how I got here.
Any questions? - Uh, I don't get how - What! [Sue.]
Help! Guys we need help.
Sue? Ralph? - [Dibny groaning.]
- [Cisco.]
Holy Plasmus! Dibs, where's your face? It looks like mashed potatoes.
[Sue.]
Don't! Don't touch him.
His body temp is a toasty 500 degrees.
Wait, you mean something actually melted Elongated Man? Holy sweet Hawking Ralph texted me to meet him at McCulloch Labs.
He was looking for evidence to clear your name, wasn't he? Yeah.
He figured security would be down because of the blackout.
He was inside when Eva blew the whole place up.
I got caught in the blast radius.
He walked out holding this.
Can you fix him? Right, I'll get him in the mobile Biogenic Containment Unit.
Okay, we're going this way.
Right this way, Ralph.
Come with me, Sue.
I'll take a look at your arm.
It's lookin' a little toasty.
Okay Anything? I mean, not really - [device beeping.]
- Wait [chuckles.]
Yeah, Ralph found evidence to clear Sue's name.
Once a hero, always a hero.
Amen.
I know you're still in there somewhere.
I'll never stop fighting to reach you.
I may be the Paragon of Love, but that's only because you're my heart.
Please! Come back to me.
[Cisco.]
I don't get it.
How are you supposed to get your speed back exactly? Iris Iris is the key.
Yeah.
Still not following.
[Barry.]
The Speed Force We all thought it was dead, right? I just felt a spark, with Iris.
Just now.
Barry, your speed is gone.
Yeah, but the Speed Force is an elemental part of the universe.
So, theoretically Theoretically, it could've never disappeared.
And you think it's still in Iris.
I always wondered why I was chosen as the Paragon of Love and how it related to my speed.
I think it's because of my connection with Iris.
Our love is [chuckles.]
It's just as strong as the lightning bolt that hit me seven years ago.
Plus, Iris did have speed once.
And Nora was a speedster whose lightning was purple and yellow.
That is so romantic.
If Speed Force energy is still in Iris, how do we get it out of her? Well We repurpose the ASF to tap into an organic source instead of an artificial one.
I can help with that.
- I'm gonna need - [Harrison.]
I got it.
If this works, we can all take the fight to Eva together.
[sirens wailing in distance.]
[people shouting.]
Bring them a new life, my children.
Go, go, go! Knock knock.
[clanging.]
It's too late, Captain.
This is Mother's world now.
Can she get through? Yes.
That door wasn't designed for tactical force.
Well, it should've been.
These old buildings still have the original ductwork.
[Mirror Daisy.]
Human beings took this world for granted, Captain.
We won't.
I don't wanna leave you.
Please, Joe, come on.
Kiss Jenna for me.
Now go! [clanging continues.]
[Cisco.]
Okay, she's breathing.
What's the ETA on the energy coupling reroute? Energy cycles rerouted.
The Fusion Sphere is completely re-mapped.
I have to say, is this how you guys operate? Because that much contact with that much unrefined power This is a huge gamble.
Mr.
Allen, if you're wrong about Iris, every atom in your body will be split in two.
[Caitlin.]
Barry We need you.
[electrical humming.]
We need you.
I'll be okay.
[rapid beeping.]
[Harrison.]
Energy's climbing.
Run, Barry.
Run! Run towards love.
Yup.
Ain't no "A" in this SF.
Incredible We're at 100 percent organic speed.
We need you I need you [electrical crackling.]
[yells.]
I knew you'd find your way back to me.
You'll always be my lightning rod.
- [sirens wailing.]
- [people shouting.]
[woman gasps.]
[Eva.]
Don't be afraid.
You're going someplace better.
I promise.
Take them.
[man.]
No! No! Flash! You've made your choice.
Now face the consequences.
It's over, Eva.
Why doesn't Flash use his speed? Eva's body is made up of quantum protons, which are capable of sub-light speed, so technically She's faster.
[clanging.]
- [panting.]
- [gun cocking.]
[clanging continues.]
You're not Cecile.
Nope.
But, she's close.
And if you want to be with her, there's only one way.
Why should I trust you? You have no choice.
Hm.
You and I could have worked together toward a common good.
It's too late now.
Humankind is done.
My children are taking over the world and I'm their Queen Mother.
And tonight I begin my reign as Mirror Monarch.
Actually, we're just getting started.
How do you like the sonics, my lady? But wait, there's more.
["Teach Me To Fight" playing.]
Now, Flash.
Small town baby Got his knickers in a twist [sighs in exasperation.]
Doesn't like the way That this car suits my lips What you think Not fair.
You brought your team.
trying to be your best you Suited and booted Maybe I should bring mine.
Trying to act a grownup Now that's pretty funny I fired everyone Now I be making plenty I'm feeling pretty empty This attitude's expensive Take a trip and you might find Let's make this public Let's take it outside Put down your small-talk And teach me to fight Sounds like Iron Heights on Saturday night out there.
Caught in the middle Karma can raise your face Trying too hard Yeah, it's gonna make you age Walk into the room Everybody looks the same I'm so tired of this place, yeah Why you scared of change, yeah? Too many photos And not enough friends Waiting on the next fad And the next trend Poses in the hall And they clogging up the stairways Come on, baby, let's play Let's make this public Let's take it outside Put down your small-talk And teach me to fight [Vibe.]
Cover me! Let's make this personal I can't fix these things in time.
You better figure something out.
And fast.
Let's do this.
It's all I seem to see And it's all you seem to know 'Cause you're itching to find out [Vibe grunts.]
Frost! But my body's gonna go See you turn up at my door 'Cause you don't know anywhere The bodies on the lam 'Cause you'll see us on the road Every big bad has a weakness.
What did we miss? The fact that Barry needs more than speed to win this fight.
[yells.]
[grunts.]
Finish him.
Flash! - No, Eva! Please don't.
- It's too late.
Flash has had his chance.
And so do you.
Eva, you're destroying this world.
No, I'm liberating it from an infestation.
My children deserve this planet more than humankind does.
I'll deal with him, join the others.
Eva! You just can't give up, can you? Fine, goodbye! [strains.]
[strains.]
That's impossible.
You're still not strong enough to beat me.
Not yet.
Eva, you told my husband that you wanted to bring peace to this world.
You're using brutal force against defenseless people.
Eva, my duplicate She was connected to this world.
With herself.
But your other children? They are filled with hate.
Look around.
Is this your idea of peace? [people shouting.]
No, no! Is this really what you want? - Get back.
Now's our chance - Don't! Please, just wait.
No.
No, I I wanted to make things better.
I've failed two worlds.
Eva, it's never too late to do the right thing.
You told me about your dream to help people.
You still can.
Right here, right now.
By ending this.
The foundation for a better world is compassion, not violence.
A true monarch knows that.
- [sirens wailing.]
- [people shouting.]
It's not working.
They've grown too strong for me to control.
[glass shatters.]
[sighs.]
We did it.
What about the people we lost? Chief Singh? Sir, what happened? - Are we - Dead? No, officer.
We're very much alive.
I'm pretty sure we owe our lives to a certain speedster.
And his better half.
[Cecile.]
Joe.
[phone vibrating.]
Is it really you? No, it's Chewbacca.
It's Kamilla.
The real one.
If she's back, then That means the rest of Central City is, too.
Where are you? I'm back at The Citizen.
I was in that other place.
I never thought I'd get out.
Don't go anywhere.
Imma kiss you like there's no tomorrow.
I love you, Kamilla.
I love you, too.
Need a ride? I'm ice bridging.
Safest way to travel.
Knowing you, I find that hard to believe.
So, what will you do now? Go back to the Mirrorverse Do what I should've done a long time ago.
Start over.
This time, my children will be born of love, not hate.
Free to choose their own path.
Good luck.
[Caitlin.]
Any sign of Eva? Nope.
Looks like Mirror Monarch was serious about starting over.
Iris, what you did out there What if you're a meta now? I'm pretty sure Eva took my mirror powers back with her when she left.
Maybe when she went back to the Mirrorverse it severed the link.
Without it, no powers.
Well, the pod people are gone, and we got everyone else back.
Singh, Dearbons, Kamilla.
It's a good day's work, people.
[chuckles.]
Oh wait, where's O.
G.
Wells? With Cisco and Allegra.
They wanted to say their own goodbyes.
[Chester.]
Ah.
Are you sure you have to go? I heard Team Flash always has a Wells.
Well, that's overrated.
Plus, Flash has his speed back, Mirror Monarch is back where she belongs.
- It's time.
- But, I need someone to train me.
Allegra, you have your own wavelength to follow, and as it turns out, somehow I have mine.
The universe gave me my life back, somehow, and now I can see all 92 years of that life.
Past, present and future simultaneously.
And somehow, can travel to any moment I want.
Timeless Wells That's a new one.
It's amazing and utterly useless, unless I can share it with the woman that I love.
My wife, Tess We had four brilliant years together, before she before we both were killed.
And so, I now have a choice between moving forward from this point without her or going back to her.
I'm going to relive those four years we had together over, and over, and over again, until I'm out of time.
Good luck.
Allegra good luck to you.
[Cisco.]
I get that Wanting to be with the person you love.
Hm.
If Kamilla and I are lucky enough to share half of what you and Tess have.
You will.
- This is weird.
- No, we just met.
Right, it's like I barely even know you.
Barely know each other.
I mean, you're nothing like him.
Like who? Oh.
The Harrison Wells you used to know.
Or, the man I thought was Harrison Wells.
Of course, he turned out to be a - A jerk.
- Jerk! - Yeah.
- Yeah.
[both chuckle.]
How do you miss someone you barely even know? Before you go, how exactly do you travel in time? Easy.
Just like this.
[chuckles.]
Just like that.
[Sue.]
Well, we spoke to Captain West.
Actually, I did.
Ralph's voice would've freaked him out.
[Dibny in altered voice.]
What's not to love about my silky tones? Dude, you sound like a Dalek.
[Barry.]
Yeah, I feel like the helmet's more Daft Punk.
What? You know I love to lose myself - to dance every once in a while.
- Baby, do not do that.
- You love it.
- Do not.
Don't worry, Ralph.
A few more days in the B.
C.
U.
, you'll be good as new.
[Dibny.]
Either way, it's good to have you back, Caity.
Frost, too.
So, now that my parents are okay and C.
C.
P.
D.
has evidence to clear me, thanks to Ralph We should celebrate.
Sue, did you ever think about joining Team Flash? We could use somebody with your skills.
Me, teaming up with Dr.
Perfect and a squeaky-clean do-gooder like Fleet-Feet here? [laughs.]
Not my style.
Besides, Ralph and I have some unfinished business.
Black Hole is dead, but there's an organization just like them in every country in the world, preying on good people like my parents.
[Dibny.]
And we're going to pay them a visit And clean house.
Ralph, we've been through a lot since you joined this team.
[Dibny.]
Save it, Barr.
This ain't goodbye.
I'll be back when you least expect it.
And then Frost, we'll go on that road trip, okay? She says, "Hell, yeah!" Well, if you ever need help, just call.
I'll come running.
Thanks.
You do the same.
- Come on, Slick.
- Stay flashing.
Dibny out.
They make quite the team.
So do we.
[electrical crackling.]
[yells.]
