- My name is barry allen,
and I am the fastest man alive.

When I was a child,
I saw my mother

Killed by something impossible.
- What, barry, what?

- My father went to prison
for her murder.

Then an accident
made me the impossible.

To the outside world, I'm
an ordinary forensic scientist,

But secretly, I use my speed

To fight crime
and find others like me.

And one day, I'll find
who killed my mother...

- Mom!
- And get justice for my father.

I am the flash.

- Previously on the flash...

- A honeymoon isn't a honeymoon
without mai tais.

- Ronnie?

- I can't let
whatever happened..

- Ronnie!

I wanted him to be my husband.

- I have watched
you be in love with iris

Since you were old enough
to know what love is.

- He killed my mom.

- ♪ oh, the weather outside
is frightful ♪

♪ but the fire
is so delightful ♪

♪ and since we've no place
to go ♪

♪ let it snow, let it snow,
let it-- ♪

- There's only two boxes left.

- You know, at this rate,
we'll be finished by easter.

- [chuckles]

Don't even.

Okay, the only red-suited dude

I want in this house right now
is kris kringle, you got it?

- [sighs]

- [laughs]

- Uh, these ornaments
are not gonna hang themselves.

- Mm-hmm.
- Grandma esther's recipe...

Light on the bourbon.

- Mmm.
[phone ringing]

I always loved her definition
of "light."

[cell phone ringing]
- [chuckles]

- And the christmas tradition
continues.

Detective west.
Yeah?

All right.

Sorry, kids, the d.A.
Wants to ask me some questions.

Make sure there's some nog
left for me when I get back.

- No promises.

What's happening?
Hey.

- Come on.

- Oh, come on,
we're doing this already?

Christmas isn't for a few days.

- I couldn't wait any longer.

Oh, wait, me first.

- Okay.

- My mother's wedding band?

- A replica, yeah.

You were devastated
when you lost the real one.

- Our fifth-grade field trip...

Both:
To the zoo.

- You cried for weeks.

Here.

- You remembered.

- Yeah.
- [chuckles]

- Steel trap.

- I don't know what to say.

My gift so sucks
in comparison...

By the way.
- No.

- [laughs] it's supposed to be
the best one on the market.

I thought you could maybe
use a new one.

It's lame, I know.

- No, no, this is great.
I love it.

- Yeah?
- Yeah, of course.

[knock at door]

- Hey, babe.

- Hey, barry.
Nice ring.

- It's beautiful, isn't it?

It's an exact replica
of my mom's.

Barry got it for me.
- That's very thoughtful, bar.

So are we tree trimming?
- Yeah.

Come on.

- Merry christmas.

Just a small token

Of my gratitude...
- Aw.

- For everything you guys
have done for me this year.

- I think I speak on behalf
of my colleagues

When I say you've been a gift
for us, barry.

- What's that?

- This is compliments of iris--
grandma esther's famous eggnog.

- That's what
I'm talking about.

- Maybe later for me.

Wouldn't want to drink
and drive.

- [whispering]
did I say something wrong?

- No.
- No, man.

He, um--this used to be
his favorite time of year,

But the accident
happened before christmas, so...

Kind of ruined the holidays.

- I'm gonna
go get him a present.

Maybe that'll cheer him up.

Thank you very much.

- Yeah.

So what are you doing
for christmas, cisco?

- The fact that I asked you
for your shirt size

Should in no way indicate

That I am getting you something
shirt-related for christmas.

- Barry seemed
a little odd today.

I'm pretty sure
he wasn't psyched I came by.

You ever think...

He maybe might like you?

- What?
No.

- Friends don't give
friends wedding bands.

- He was--he wasn't proposing
to me, silly.

He and I are just best friends.

- Well, then he
won't be bothered by this.

A bit early,
but I couldn't wait.

I figured we've been
together a year now.

You pretty much stay there
most nights anyway.

- I love you.

- That's a yes, I take it?

- It was that

Or stephen hawking's
new autobiography,

And we both know
how he feels about hawking.

Okay, I'll talk to you later.
Bye, cisco.

- Merry christmas, doc.

- Thank you, jimmy, and to you.

- Hey, doc,
I know it's a big secret,

But can you give me a hint?

What exactly are you working on
in there?

- The future.

[alarm blaring]

- Doctor, get inside!

Lock down the facility!

[camera shutter clicking]

- Hey.

What are you thinking?

- The blood splatter patterns
and trajectory of the remains--

Only a high-speed collision
could have done this.

But to cause this type of damage
to a human in this space?

Whatever hit them would have
to have been moving fast.

- Get this.

The witness says
all he saw was a blur.

Sound familiar?

- You saw a blur?

W-what was it?

- Whatever it was,
it was looking for something.

- Well, what did it look like?

- Like a-a man
in some kind of yellow suit.

- Okay.

- Barry, listen--
- I have to check my files.

Joe, you heard him, all right?

The man that killed my mom--
he's back.

- I know.

He's been in town
for a few weeks now.

He paid a visit to me
at the house.

He took all the evidence
from your mom's case.

The files are gone.

- Why wouldn't you tell me
this sooner?

- I couldn't.
- Why?

- Because he threatened
to kill iris.

- The witness described
seeing a yellow blur

Just like the one
that killed barry's mother.

- Then we need to get cracking
and stop this speed psycho.

That--I wasn't trying
to give him a name.

- The crime scene
at mercury labs was on a floor

With highly secured vaults,

And the witness said
he was looking for something.

- Whatever it was, he wanted it
badly enough to kill for it.

- Doctor, what do you know
about this mercury labs?

- Mercury was one
of s.T.A.R. Labs'

Major competitors
until our little setback,

And then it catapulted
to the forefront

Led by dr. Christina mcgee,

Brilliant but egocentric
physicist.

- It says here dr. Mcgee has
secured half a billion dollars

In private funding to develop,

And I quote, "prototypes for
the technology of the future."

- Well, I'll be.

Tina's messing with tachyons,
superluminal particles.

- Of course.

So what could someone
do with one of those...

- Tachyons.
- Thank you.

- Well, I don't know.
Become invincible?

If you could devise a matrix
stable enough

To harness their power, you
could travel faster than light.

- He's gonna
try to get them again,

So we need to get what mercury
has and use it as a lure.

- Exactly right. Cisco, caitlin,
let's start engineering a trap.

- You got it.
- Of course.

- Thanks.

- Iris.

- Caitlin.
What are you doing here?

- Oh, it's been a long day.

- It's only noon.

- I didn't sleep much
last night.

- Yeah, me either.

- Um, so I was catching up
on your blog,

And this story caught my eye--

About a man whose head
and hands burst into flames?

- The burning man?
- Yeah.

- I haven't really updated
that story in a while,

But there are some reports
that I could send you.

- That'd be great.
Thank you.

- Can I ask you something,
girl-to-girl?

- Sure.

- Barry's been acting different
around me lately,

Like he's keeping
some sort of secret from me.

Is there anything
that you know about

That I should know about?

- Not that I can think of.

However, if you feel

Like barry's keeping
something from you,

You should probably
just ask him yourself.

- Yeah.

Thanks.
- Of course.

- Yeah, okay.
- Gonna get some caffeine.

- Barry allen.
Thank you for coming in.

- Dr. Tina mcgee.

I assume this is
about last night's break-in?

- Well, yes and no.

- That's usually how things are
with you, aren't they, harrison?

- We believe
that whoever broke in

Was after one
of your prototypes.

- You'll have
to narrow that down.

We have literally hundreds
of projects in development.

- One containing
tachyonic particles.

- We've had encouraging success
with tachyons, yes,

But there's still a significant
gap between our prototype

And any real-life application.

- We were hoping
you would lend us your prototype

To use as a lure.

- "us"?

You're assisting
the police now, harrison?

- I'm consulting
on this particular case.

Listen, tina,
once this man is apprehended,

Your prototype
will be promptly returned.

You know nobody wants to ensure

The future's
technology more than me.

- I appreciate the ccpd's
concerns, mr. Allen,

But mercury is quite capable
of protecting its own assets.

Good luck with your manhunt.

- Hey, caitlin, check this out.

I think we can fashion
an electronic barrier, right?

We set up a ton
of super capacitors.

We smooth out
the inflection points,

And voila--

A kick-ass force field
to trap the opposite flash.

That was me testing out a name.
[chuckles]

What do you think?

Are you okay?

- [sighs]

Ronnie's alive.

I saw him, cisco.

I think he was following me.

- Caitlin...

Ronnie died.

He was vaporized

In the accelerator
when it went critical.

- Ronnie's alive,

And he's out there alone
and scared,

And I need your help
to find him.

- Ouch.
- Hmm...

Your bruise is already healing.
- It still hurts, though.

- Not for much longer, honey.

Here, come on.

I'll keep the light on for you.

- Were you ever afraid
of the dark?

- If I turn this light off now,

Would you be scared?
- No.

- That's because I'm here
with you.

See, you're not afraid
of the dark, barry.

You're afraid of being alone
in the dark,

And that goes away
when you realize something.

You're never really alone.

- It's time for bed.

- I'm thirsty.

- Oh, no, you're stalling.

But I got you covered, buddy.

Good night, slugger.

- Sweet dreams,
my beautiful boy.

- You can turn off the light.

[thunder booms,
glass shatters]

Mom! Mom!

- Nora!
- [screams]

- Barry.
[chuckles]

I called your name, like...

[siren wailing in the distance]

Your mom's case.

- I used to study this board
every day.

Lately, I haven't looked at it

As much as I should have.

- I didn't know you did that.

- I guess there's still some
stuff about me you don't know.

- Eddie asked me to move
in with him.

I said yes.
[chuckles]

- Wow.
[chuckles]

You guys
are moving pretty fast, huh?

- Well, I mean,
it's been a year.

Eddie thought you
might feel weird about it.

- Wha--I don't--

Why would he say that?

- He thinks that you...

Like me romantically.

I mean, honestly,
it sounds even silly

Suggesting it.
Um...

- I mean, eddie's wrong.

I--and if I've seemed
weird before,

It's just that this year
has gone by really fast,

And I guess I didn't realize

How far along in
your relationship you guys were.

- [sighs]

That's what I told him.

Well, I guess

I should get going.

Bye.

- [sighs deeply]

[thunder booms]

It was you.

You were the one in my house
that night.

You killed my mother!

Why?

- If you want to know that,

You're gonna have to catch me.

- Not fast enough, flash.

- Who are you?
- You know who I am, barry.

- I don't know who you are.

- But you do, barry.

We've been at this a long time,
you and I,

But I'm always one step ahead.

It is your destiny
to lose to me, flash,

Just as it was
your mother's destiny

To die that night.

- He acted like he knew me,
like we'd done this before.

- He was antagonizing you, bar.

- I would get close,
and he'd just pull away.

I mean, this was
just some sick game to him.

- You'll catch him.
We'll help.

- No, you don't get it,
all right?

His speed, it is--
it's beyond me.

I'm not the fastest man alive.
He is.

So how do we catch somebody
that even I can't keep up with?

- The beautiful thing
about force fields, mr. Allen,

Is they're impervious to speed.

Now, we're almost finished
fabricating the trap,

And all that remains
is for detective west

To procure the bait.
- I'm on it.

Barry, why don't you stay here?

- No, joe, today is not the day
to tell me to stay behind.

- If judge hankerson
was gonna sign this,

He would have done so already.

- Look, I'm sure you don't want
this investigation

To get any more public than it's
already been, do you, doctor?

- This has harrison wells

Written all over it
in big, black letters.

I am not giving you
my tachyon prototype.

- It was quite the tour
of your facility, doctor.

You were fine to let
us dumb cops walk around,

But I majored in physics
and chemistry,

And I saw a whole lot of stuff

That science showcase magazine
would love to hear about.

So should I call
their editors directly

Or just leave a few posts
on their website?

- You'll have the tachyon device
within the hour.

I see why harrison holds you
in such esteem, mr. Allen.

You're very much alike.

- Nicely done.

- Hey, joe, you got a second?
- Not now, eddie.

- I read the witness statement.
The flash was there.

I know you got something
in the works.

- Yeah, but you don't want
any part of this.

- I've got a task force
approved to capture him,

And I want in.

I'm not asking permission, joe.

- Excuse me?

- If my task force
isn't a part of this,

I'll go to captain singh.

I'll tell him
something's going on,

And you're not talking--
I'm sorry.

You'd do the same thing
if you were me.

- Fine.

- We follow the ionized
particles,

And that should lead
us right to him.

The cpms are increasing.

We should have told
dr. Wells and barry.

- No, not until we're sure
it's him.

- Oh, wow.

- Look, ronnie is not
like you remembered him.

- What does that mean?

- Just don't freak out
when you see him, okay?

- Oh, I really wish that was
because the batteries were dead.

- Ronnie?

Ronnie, it's me, cait.

Look, I brought cisco with me.

We're here to help you.

You were in an accident.
Do you remember?

- I'm not ronnie.

- Yes, you are.
You're ronnie raymond.

- I'm not ronnie.
I told you that.

Now get away from me.

- Look, we just need
to take you back

To s.T.A.R. Labs.

We'll help you remember
who you are.

- Firestorm.

- The tachyon device
is in place.

- You think it'll work?

- It'll work.

- So how do we advertise to him
that the prototype's here?

- We'll take care of that.

- What's the problem?

- Look, barry...

Me and dr. Wells
have spoken, and...

We think it would be best
if you weren't here for this.

- What are you talking about?

- You're too close to this.

- Or maybe
you're not close enough.

If you hadn't been too scared

And warned me
that he was here weeks ago,

I could have been prepared
for this.

- I think we can all appreciate
joe's concern for iris, barry.

- That's why I have to be here!

I'm the best chance
at catching this guy!

- Not right now,
not in this state.

- This man stabbed my mother
through the heart

And sent my father to prison
for it.

This is my fight.

- Not today, son.
- [sighs]

- [crying]

- Caitlin...

Don't worry.

Hey.

Now that we know he's out there,
we will find ronnie again.

- Why--
so we can throw him in there

With all
the other meta-human psychos?

I used to play this game
in my head.

What would I give up for just
one more minute with him?

My house, my career...

The rest of my life?

Today I finally got
that minute.

And I wish I hadn't.

Seeing him like that,
what he's become...

Dear god...

I wish
he had just died that day.

- [crying]
- oh.

[door opens]

- Merry christmas, slugger.

- Merry christmas.

- You all right, barry?

- I screwed up, dad.

After years of searching...

I finally found him.

I found the man
who killed mom...

The man in yellow,
the one in the lightning.

He's out there, and I had him.

He got away.

I-I was so close.

I promised you that
I would get you out of here.

Every day you spend in here
has been because of him...

Until today.

Now you're in here
because of me, and I'm so sorry.

I...

- Barry.

Barry, this is not your fault.

Look at me.

I know what you've given up.

Every decision you've made
in the past 14 years

Has been
because of me and your mom--

What you studied,

Why you became a csi,
even with iris.

- Iris?
- You're my son.

You don't think
I know how you love her?

But you never pursued her

Because you were too consumed
with what happened to me

And your mom
to let yourself have a life.

Well, let it go now, barry.

Hear me now.

The man in the yellow suit...

Has taken enough
from us already.

Don't let him take any more.

[door opens]

- Hey.

Just in time.

I am almost done.

[sighs] are there awards
for tree trimming?

Because this is award-worthy.

- [sighs]

- Are you okay, bar?

- I love you, iris.

- Oh, I love you too.

- When we were kids,
I loved you

Before I even knew
what the word "love" meant.

And then my mom died,

And I had to go live with
the girl that I had a crush on.

Look, I--
there were so many times

That I wanted to tell you--

Junior prom,
when I went away to college,

When I came back from college,

Nights that we stayed up
talking, all the birthdays,

All the christmases,
but I-I never did.

I just--I kept it in.

After I lost my mom and my dad,

I was afraid that if you
didn't feel the same way,

I would lose you, too.

That's the irony.

I was so scared
of losing you that I did.

I know I've had our whole lives
to tell you this,

And you're with eddie now,
and I know that,

And I know my timing
couldn't be any worse,

But I just--

I couldn't lie to you any more.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

- Sending out another pulse.

- Are you certain
this trap will work?

- I've sent up at least three
charges into open satellite.

If anyone's looking
tachyonic particles,

They'll know we got them.

- Let's see what we caught.

Cisco? Lights.

- Sure thing, dr. Wells.

- Detective thawne, would you
like to read him his rights?

- Joe, what are you doing?

- Getting some answers.

14 years ago,
you murdered nora allen.

I want to know why.

Why?

- Dr. Wells, we meet at last.

- What do you want
with the tachyonic particles?

- My goals
are beyond your understanding.

- Oh, I don't know,
I'm a pretty smart guy.

I knew
you were exceptionally fast,

So any trap we manufactured
would have to be invisible.

I knew your cells

Could repair themselves
at extraordinary speeds,

So you could withstand

The damage this is doing
to your body right now.

- The super capacitors--

The containment field
is fluctuating.

They need to get
out of there now.

- The reason I know all this
is because your powers

Are almost exactly
like those of the flash.

- Oh, I'm not like the flash
at all.

Some would say I'm the reverse.

- Dr. Wells, evacuate!

Get out of there now!

Dr. Wells!

- Cisco, turn off the barrier!

- If I turn it off,
that thing's gonna get out.

- Cisco,
he's gonna kill wells!

- Find him!

[cell phone vibrates]

Don't move, or we will shoot.

- I warned you not to hunt me.

- Barry!

- Our race is not yet done.

See you soon, flash.

- [grunts]

- Don't look for me again.

- Why did it...

Not kill me?

- I don't know, eddie.

- But you know more
than you've been telling me.

- They're called meta-humans.

- "meta-humans"?

- People with very powerful
abilities.

You and me are the only guys

On the force that know
what's really going on.

And we need to keep it
that way...

So nobody else gets hurt.

Can you do that?

- And the flash?

Do you know who he is?

- Yeah, I do.

He's the guy that saved
both of our lives tonight.

- I've been going over
the data,

And I still don't know why
the containment system failed.

I must have missed something.

I'm sorry.

- It's not your fault, cisco.

But if you both feel the need
to apologize for something,

You might start
with the not telling me

That ronnie is still alive.

- I asked cisco
not to say anything.

Once I saw
what ronnie had become,

I needed...

I needed time to see
if I could make him whole again.

I'm sorry.
I know you're mad.

- No.

I don't know what I would have
done differently

In your situation.

I know I have made you a lot
of promises.

I know I've not been
able to keep them all.

But on my life,
I promise you this...

We will bring ronnie home.

- Hey, bar.

- You know my mom traveled
around the world twice?

She spent a semester
abroad in Spain,

And she loved it so much
that after she graduated,

She went to europe.

Didn't stop till she'd been
to a few dozen other cities.

She always wanted to go back,
but she never got a chance.

- I offered to send you abroad
when you were in college.

- Yeah, I know.
I remember.

I...

I couldn't take off.

I mean, the truth is

I'm stuck here...

In central city.

Fear has kept me in that
living room for 14 years.

[sighs]

Joe, I-I was mad at you

For being scared.

But I mean, the truth is

I was
the one that was scared.

I've been afraid
of the man in yellow

For my whole life.

That's why I lost.

- When you first moved in
with us,

I thought
it was gonna be too much.

I'm already a single dad.
Finances were tough.

And you were a little boy
who just lost his mother.

But, man, was I wrong.
[chuckles]

Within two weeks, you had
changed the whole dynamic

Of the house.

Suddenly, the house was filled
with this...

Light..

This energy.

I mean,
you brightened up everything.

You'd seen more darkness
than any man will in a lifetime,

And you never let
it dim your soul.

So there I was, thinking
that I'm changing your life

By taking you in, but...

The truth is...

You changed mine.

So don't lose
that light now, bar.

The world may need
the flash, but...

I need my barry allen.

Let's go home.

- Yeah.

- ♪ have yourself a merry... ♪

- Hey.
- Oh.

- Hey.
What are you guys doing here?

- I invited them.

Where's dr. Wells?

- Uh, he wasn't feeling up
to a social gathering,

But he appreciated
the invitation.

Eggnog?
- Yes.

- Merry christmas, barry.

- You too, eddie.

Hey, I, um...

Well, I just wanted
to say, um...

I heard you're moving in
together,

And I'm really happy for you.

- Thanks.

- Merry christmas.
[chuckles]

- Mm.
Day like today,

Grandma esther's eggnog seems
a little light on the bourbon.

- Hey, joe.
- Hmm?

- I saw something weird tonight.
- Yeah, cisco, I saw it too.

- No, I mean, when the flash
and the man in yellow

Were going full-on bumper cars
on each other,

I was watching the electricity
coming off of them--

Yellow and red electricity.

When barry was a kid,

He said he saw red and yellow
lightning in his house

The night his mother died.

- There were two of them.

- The man in yellow
may have killed barry's mother,

But...

There was another speedster
there that night.

- Dad, it's time.

- ♪ hang your shining star
upon the highest... ♪

- Okay, let's see.

- ♪ bough ♪

♪ and have yourself ♪
[laughter]

♪ a merry
little christmas now ♪

- [deep, distorted voice]
merry christmas.

- Greg, move your head.
