These last three months have been the best.

Just getting to spend time with you.

I just... wanted you to know how grateful I am, to both of you, to be your son.

Barry, you're scaring me.

No, there's...

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Promise.

I just...

I love you both.

Hey, Barry!

Are you okay?

[panting]

It's getting worse.

We have to hurry before it's too late.

Having a bad day, Barr?

Well... if it isn't the future Mrs. Allen.

Barry told me not to listen to anything you say.

Oh. That's just bad advice.

'Cause I'm the answer man.

[laughs]

I am the answer to all your prayers.

All you need to do is ask me, Barry.

We need to go back in time.

To that night.

To do what?

You know what I need you to do.

Yeah.

But I want to hear you say it.

I need you to k*ll my mother.

With pleasure.

I hate you.

And I hate you.

And I sometimes wonder which of us is right.

It seems weird to wish you good luck.

I'm so sorry about all this.

Will I know when things change back?

Will I feel it?

It'll be like it never happened.

I'll see you soon.

Barry!

Get back!

God, I wish I could k*ll you.

But today...

[Barry gasps]

I get to be the hero.

[whooshing]

No!

[men grunting]

You're not gonna k*ll her this time.

You're not gonna k*ll her ever again.

[grunting]

[panting]

It's okay.

It's okay.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

[sobbing]

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Okay?

You're safe.

You're safe now.

Actually...

She's not.

There we go.

Things are back to how they should be.

Well, for me, anyway.

For you...

[chuckles]

Well, I guess you'll just have to wait and find out.

What? What does that mean?

See you sometime soon, Flash.

[whooshing]

What's this for?

Just glad you're here.

Are you okay?

Oh-ho.

Yeah, I am now. Yeah.

You just lost your father, Barry.

You don't have to be okay.

Actually, I feel closer to my parents than I ever have.

Well, good, son.

To your pops.

To Henry.

To my Dad.

[bottles clink]

Where's Iris?

That ain't funny.

I'm gonna chalk that up to grief.

I'll see you both in the morning.

What was that about?

Are you kidding me?

You know Iris isn't here.

What?

They don't talk, Barry.

You know that.
