03x12 - Untouchable

[bunniefuu]

Barry: 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. In an attempt to stop the evil speedster Savitar, I was accidentally thrust into the future, and I saw him m*rder the woman that I love. But I won't let that happen. I'm gonna do everything in my power to change the future, and I'm the only one fast enough to keep her alive. I am The Flash.

Previously on "The Flash"...

When I threw the Philosopher's Stone into the Speed Force, I accidentally ran into the future. I saw Savitar m*rder you.

How are you gonna tell Dad?

I'm not.

If you guys got something going on, I hope you know you can talk to me.

Every night when I go to bed, I'm afraid that I'm gonna wake up and be her.

I didn't ask for these powers, just like you didn't ask to be used by Savitar.

So you're telling me that every time I'm blacking out...

You've become Alchemy.

Alchemy can restore the powers that people had in Flashpoint.

What Alchemy did was not your fault.

I'm saying that at this point in his training, you're faster than Barry!

What?

It's crazy how fast I've gotten in such a short time.

And I'm gonna need you to get a lot faster.

I'm not gonna save Iris from Savitar.

You are.

So this is it, huh?

Yeah.

This is the starting line to our race.

Cisco set up sensors all along the course, and he'll be tracking your speed all the way to the finish line on the other side of town.

No, I meant this is it... the day the greatest upset in speedster history goes down.

Wally, man, this isn't about winning or losing.

Okay?

This is about training so you can get faster and b*at Savitar and save Iris.

Yeah, which I'm gonna do.

Okay.

But first I'm gonna make you eat my dust.

I'm sorry.

Okay, you know there is a reason they call me the fastest man alive.

Cisco, you good?

Ladies and gentlemen, the Central City Speedster 500 is about to begin.

But first, I've got five-to-one odds Barry takes down Wally.

Any takers?

Yep.

Game of speculation? Are we... we're betting?

Yeah, no, I'm in.

On my Earth, financial wagering was banned after an unfortunate incident with Vice President Al Capone.

Well, lucky for you, you live here now.

Yes.

Put me down for 20 for Barry.

Joe, got to be in it... come on.

No, not me.

That's a Sophie's Choice I'm not gonna make.

$80 on Barry.

Mama needs a new confocal microscope.

All right, H.R., you put your life in my hands, so I know for a fact you like high stakes.

How much you in for?

Wallace's recent speed tests ensure that he is a lock.

Put me down for an Abe Lincoln.

Hm?

Uh, 100.

Whatever 100 is on this Earth, put me down for that.

Guys, we're ready.

All right, all right.

All bets are in, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Gentlemen, start your engines.

Ready?

Get set.

Go.

And you have to be ready to face any obstacle that's put in your path.

Yeah, well, don't worry, Barry.

I'm gonna get faster.

Pretty soon I'm gonna be faster than you.

Oh, yeah?

Well, until then, what's my name?

[laughing]

[police siren wailing]

Joe, hey, this one, is, uh...

Pretty ghastly, Detective, I warn you.

That's the body?

Yeah, why?

Because he d*ed less than eight hours ago.

Eight hours?

He was a chef here...

Stuart Holzman... and the owner confirmed that he was working last night.

Huh.

That's a lot of damage in a short amount of time.

We thinking he's a meta?

Possibly, although certain chemicals can cause a similar reaction.

Yeah, any acid with a pH below two.

Precisely.

We could be looking for an aggressive variant of a necrotized fasciitis.

A flesh-eating disease.

In a restaurant?

I'm never eating out again.

Okay, so an autopsy might help us hone in on what really did this.

Yes, I agree.

Unfortunately, County denied my request for a 3D image medical scanner, which would make short work of the process.

Okay, well, we have one at S.T.A.R. Labs.

Allen, this is an active investigation.

There is protocol to follow... surely?

Not if we're gonna figure this out.

Okay, I'll bag the body myself and meet you there.

Great.

Iris, hey.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm just, uh, running up against a deadline, so...

Since I have you both, I wanted to ask, um, Cecile's daughter, Joanie, is in town, and I was thinking that maybe we could all get together.

If you don't think it's too soon.

I mean, I haven't exactly been dating Cecile for that long.

It's not too early, Joe.

Yeah?

Yeah.

And Jitters... is that cool?

Or is that too casual?

Dad, don't worry, okay?

It's great. Joanie's gonna love you.

I love my kids.

I'm gonna set it up. Thank you.

All right.

It's nice to see him so happy.

Yeah, it is.

You okay?

Hey, I need to show you something at S.T.A.R. Labs.

Okay.

Look.

That's the name of the restaurant where we just were.

Yeah.

I spoke to the owner, and he said he doesn't think that the restaurant can survive an att*ck like this... that they'd most likely have to reopen under a new name.

It's all coming true, Barry.

No.

I thought things were changing.

Things are changing, okay? They are.

I was supposed to stop Plunder, right?

And instead Wally did.

And we're gonna... [sighs]

Stop Savitar too.I 'm making sure of it.

What if we can't stop all of this?

I'm scared, Barry.

Okay, uh...

[sighs nervously]

Maybe we should tell Joe.

No, no.

No, we agreed that we wouldn't.

Besides, you saw him earlier.

He's... he's planning for a future with Cecile.

If we tell him about Savitar, it's all he's gonna think about.

I-I can't do that to him.

I won't.

Okay.

Whatever you want.

Now listen to me.

I promise you I'm doing everything in my power to make sure that that future never happens.

Okay.

You think this is what it's like to be a character on "CSI"?

What do they hope to gain from that examination?

They're trying to find the exact cause of death.

Once we know that, we'll have a better idea of what we're dealing with.

But until then, we need to train.

I'm gonna teach you everything I know, starting with phasing.

Yes! Finally.

You know what we should do?

We should concoct some simulations to help Wallace learn this new skill.

What do you say, Francisco?

I got one word for you: quebracho.

Let's go.

Quebracho!

What's his name?

Doesn't really matter much now, does it?

Of course, we should call him by his name.

After everything he's been through, he deserves that much respect.

He is a corpse, thus impervious to such bedside manners.

Well, thank goodness, 'cause I'd hate to have to subject him to yours.

[sighs] Victim is male, between 30 and 40, with a highly necrotized epidermis.

We plan to do a full-body scan and a chest wall retraction.

Well, fantastic choice, Cisco.

Well, it shouldn't matter if it's wood or steel or stone.

If you're moving fast enough, you can phase through anything.

Even molten lava... you know, if you ever ended up in a volcano.

You know, I... I still don't get it.

How do you do this?

All right.

Here. Watch.

When you vibrate at the natural frequency of air, your body, your cells, will be in an excited state that'll allow you... to phase.

Yeah, it's not... it's not really helping.

What exactly do I do?

Connect with your body, right?

Connect with the air. Be pure electricity.

You have to feel everything that's around you.

All right?

So go fast and feel things.

Yeah, no worries.

What did Wells do with me?

His plan was, uh, more methodically constructed than John Doe's in "Seven."

And he had a bit more time to work it out by, give or take, 15 years.

Well, we don't have 15 years.

I have a crime scene. I got to go.

I'll be back.

Just make sure he keeps practicing.

Go, Wallace!

Body was found by that bicyclist.

Same M.O. as the first one.

This victim was performing here last night.

He's a lounge singer named Julio Mendez.

Julio Mendez?

Has anybody seen Detective West?

In Flashpoint, he was Captain Mendez.

Sorry. In Flashpoint, this... this alternate universe that you lived in, he worked at the CCPD?

Yeah.

Wait a second, the other... the other Vic, Stuart Holzman... do we have a photo of him?

Yeah.

Can I see it?

Yeah, hold on. That's him.

What is it?

He was a cop there, too.

So this is the second dead cop from Flashpoint?

Yeah.

We got to figure out who this guy is.

Well, if we hurry, there's still a chance we can get some of the attacker's residual DNA before this corpse disintegrates, but we've got to move quick.

Barry, you can help with that.

All right, come on.

[whooshes]

Did anybody see me?

Damn, I barely saw you.

Look, we got to get going.

Hey, Joe, hold on.

Um, look, I-I know how excited you are for this coffee thing with Joanie and Cecile, but I think we should hold off.

I don't think it's a good idea right now.

Bar, these two att*cks don't establish a pattern.

Well...

And besides, I'm a cop.

If I canceled my plans every time I was in danger, I'd never leave the house.

I-I hear you.

I would just feel a lot better knowing you were someplace safe.

Name a place safer than a coffee shop with my two speedster sons.

Meeting Joanie is important to Cecile, therefore it's important to me.

Some things are worth taking risks for.

All right. Let's get out of here.

Anything?

Aside from this body disintegrating before our eyes?

Nothing unusual.

There must be a heightened point of necrosis somewhere.

Look!

We have less than 50 minutes before this corpse disintegrates into ash like the last one.

We need to find it now.

I'm aware.

This might be a faster process if I did it alone.

You know, I've done autopsies before, Julian.

I'm sure you have.

This might just be a quicker process if I did it alone.

What are you doing?

The gradation is darker on the palm of his hand from the point of contact.

I see, I see.

You know, I used to think Barry was overreacting when he complained about sharing a lab with you.

But now I understand his frustration.

Believe me, no one is more frustrated than I.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

We're gonna move the train.

How are we gonna do that?

I'll vibrate it fast enough that it can phase through this.

You know what they say, Kid Flash.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

You have to stop him.

I don't have it in me right now.

I need you to get your blood into him.

It'll counteract his cells and negate his powers.

How am I supposed to do that when I can't even touch him?

You're gonna phase it into him.

You know I've never done that before.

Wallace was a total badass. That's what happened.

Yeah, he phased his speedster blood into Yorkin and neutralized his powers.

That's the science behind it.

I had a great teacher.

And me?

Once Yorkin's blood was stabilized, we actually managed to get an antidote that cured you.

You'll have to wear the bandage for a few days, but other than that, you're absolutely recovered.

Thank you.

I know what you risked for me.

I had some help.

Couldn't have done it alone.

It was all of us working together.

Yup, really proud of everybody.

Great job. Big ideas today.

My point is, if we're gonna save Iris from Savitar, we're gonna have to up our game.

No more lies... even well-intentioned ones.

We have to be completely real with each other.

I agree.

I agree with Joe, too.

You're still a close second.

Yeah.

Are you kidding me?

I got to see Kid Flash in action, right up close.

Well, we got a lot of stories about Kid Flash I can guarantee you've never heard.

Maybe we can tell you them over dinner next time you come to town.

I have a long weekend next month.
