Original subtitles

[XS] As a kid,

there was a part of the Flash Museum that always scared me.

I guess it's normal for children to be afraid of monsters.

But this monster was different.

No one knows where he came from,

how he got his powers, who he is.

All that's known is his alias,

and the last sound his victims hear.

-[chirring on recording] -But that's not what makes him scary.

What makes him scary is...

You never catch him.

We never catch him?

Supergirl, the Legends, even the League tried,

but no one was successful.

Probably because he can dampen everybody's powers

with that magic friggin' dagger.

Not all superheroes are meta-humans though.

-What about-- -Green Arrow?

Yeah, he tried, too, once, but...

So, we're dealing with a meta-human Jack the Ripper.

-Amazing. -[sighs]

What else do you know about him?

Just that he...

-He's early. -What do you mean, "he's early"?

In my history, Cicada's first victim was a meta-human named Floyd Belkin.

And he never killed Gridlock or Block.

They're completely different victims.

Because the timeline changed.

Yeah. And now they're both dead, because of me.

Okay, there's no telling the ripple effect of this change,

or what kind of future Nora's gonna return to.

We gotta catch this guy fast.

You mean, catch the guy that future us can't catch.

Right. I thought beating The Thinker was hard.

Guys, it's Joe. C.C.P.D. needs help downtown.

-Okay, I gotta-- -No, I'll do it.

-Are you sure? -Yeah, I got it.

You guys stay here and deal with the meta serial killer.

Okay, guys, look, we've got this.

Let's just canvass some crime scenes, interview some witnesses

and see if there's any common acquaintances

between Gridlock and Block.

I have a plan.

You've got a plan already? [chuckles]

I know how to fix this.

[sirens wailing]

Now, nobody try nothing funny.

This baby is solar with a zero carbon footprint.

I spent a week in the sun charging it with UV A, B and C.

So you all stay put.

Hey! Hey!

I told you, I brought my own bags.

-Sorry. -Apology accepted.

[man] Don't forget the other kind of greens.

What the hell?

Fear not, good citizens, Elongated Man is here.

[all exclaiming and laughing]

Oh.

Why do I feel like you're all focusing on the wrong thing?

I just saved your--

Okay, if you're gonna... Just don't put...

-[camera shutters clicking] -I saw you post it.

So, your plan is to contact Herr Wells?

Yes, that's my plan.

I know in the future you guys never

bring in a Wells to help you catch Cicada

so, if you want a different result this time...

Then try something new.

-It's a great idea. -Except it's not.

What?

It's a terrible idea. If you're looking for cooperation,

trust me, this is not your guy.

He is just an asshat.

That was way harsh, Cisco.

-I'm sorry, I'm being harsh? -Yes.

Go ahead, call him.

See if you don't get a steaming pile of side-eye.

Okay.

[device chimes]

Ja?

[scoffs]

-The Flash? -[scoffs] Wait for it.

-I love the Flash. -What?

Oh, you, Barry Allen, ja, with the zoop, zoop and...

Defy the physics laws and gravity, always with some style and grace, ja.

Thanks, man.

Das Kind der Flash. Child of the Flash.

Obviously you have your father's moral fiber, ja,

and your mother's smarts and classic beauty.

-Oh, my God, stop. -[XS] Thank you, Herr Wells.

-He's so nice. [chuckling] -[stutters] Don't thank him.

Don't fall for this ruse.

Clearly this guy is putting on an act. He's a charlatan.

But you hurt me, ja, you stab me in the back.

This guy who must be Cisco.

-You know who I am. -Hey, don't be rude, all right?

Look, hey, I'm sorry, we need your help

catching a meta-human serial killer.

Ja, I have heard of this Cicada.

I got a message already from Kinder Flash.

Unfortunately, I'm otherwise occupied,

-unable to assist you at this time. -You can't?

Nein, but I have done one better and called someone who can.

This man is a legend.

This man is the greatest detective in all the multi-verse.

So, I've attached his coordinates

-if you want to look at them. -Okay.

-Now do you see it? -Got him.

-Good, ja. -[Iris West] Cisco.

Cisco, what? You want me to breach him here?

-Yeah. -Hello?

I just got Benihana'd.

-Hurts a little bit. -Sorry.

Why don't we just breach him here the old-fashioned way?

Hey, man, thank you for this. This is great.

Privilege and an honor to help the Flash, ja.

Und Kind Flash, und Iris Flash, ja.

-Bye, Kinder Flash. -Bye, Herr Wells.

[chuckles] What a nice guy.

What are you talking about, man? He's awesome.

He's not...

You know what? Let's just turn on the extrapolator

and get this master detective out here.

Bah.

I imagined your Earth would be colder.

Harrison Sherloque Wells at your service.

I'm here to catch your killer.

[whispering] Barry, what is he doing?

[whispering] I don't know. Maybe it's some kind of

-CSI kit or... -[Sherloque] Et voilà.

That's the stuff.

And now we can begin.

-[Caitlin] Tea? -That's right.

We've been watching you for 20 minutes.

You're welcome. You cannot rush excellence.

This is a waste of time.

Thank you very much for coming, Cumberbatch.

I'm sure you would like it if I took my leave, right?

You could have more time to recover from your recent heartbreak.

What are you talking about?

[Sherloque] The subcutaneous under-eye bruising

which indicates you've been crying,

your flaky skin which indicates dehydration,

probably from alcohol consumption.

Alcohol plus crying can only mean one thing.

You have been dumped.

Wrong, Detective. I have not been dumped.

-Oh, no? -It was a mutual decision.

-Okay? -[Sherloque] Of course.

Cynthia and I, we reached a decision together,

-as a team, okay? -Of course.

-And I haven't been sobbing. -No, no, no.

In fact, I can't remember the last time I cried about it.

-Excuse me. -Just...

You are the resident speedster, I presume.

-How did you-- -Who favors

stopping on his right heel.

I can tell from the wear and tear on your footwear. It's uneven.

A trait that you have inherited from your father,

although you do share a little bit more body language with your mother,

who has been touching her left shoulder since I came around here.

What are you hiding from me?

Excuse me? I am not hiding anything.

Oh, no, no, no. Yes, you are, but what?

You have touched it like

there was something there and gone again.

Something removed. A tattoo, right? Yes.

-Perhaps from a former lover? -Okay! [clears throat]

You know what? I think that this Sherlock has proven himself

and that we should start finding Cicada.

Excellent. Let's find Cicada.

But first, the question of my fee.

-You're charging us? -This service is not free, right?

I don't work for charity.

I can already tell the young doctor here

is expecting to hire me for another case.

I saw you glance at your purse

and I'm happy to assist you in that mystery.

But first, I think we can all agree that a villain of Cicada's caliber

will require a substantial fee.

Uh...

[gasps] Shrap! That's a lot of money, even when I'm from.

I'm very expensive, but very worth it. What do you think?

I mean, we could sell off some of S.T.A.R. Labs stock.

Yes! We have an agreement.

Yeah.

Do you hear that? The sounds of these frantic steps.

We're being approached, either by a tall sensitive man,

or a frightened baby giraffe.

I got a problem here, guys, and I...

-Hey. -Hello, baby giraffe.

-Harry, how are you? -This is Sherlock Wells.

-[Sherloque] "Loque." -[Barry] Sherlock?

Sherloque. L-O-Q-U-E.

Sherloque. I'm French.

-Sher-loque, here-- -[Sherloque] "Loque."

Is gonna help us find Cicada.

Oh, cool, so you're like a detective.

[Sherloque] "A detective." The fans.

Who shall I make the autograph out to?

-"Hello, little baby giraffe--" -Uh, no, no, no. I'm a...

Listen, I'm a detective as well.

[speaks French]

[Dibny] Yeah.

Ah, well...

[greets in French]

That's right.

Well, you're a detective. What you have solved recently?

Most recently? I uncovered the case of the stolen Chevy.

[Dibny clears throat]

Of Impala.

Funny.

Hmm.

Very funny, from the looks of things.

-Whoa. -Okay, so I saved all these hostages,

and all anybody can talk about is this picture,

and it turned into a meme and it's...

It's just, I don't think anybody in this city takes me seriously.

Oh, there's 14 million people in this city,

only 500,000 have reposted this.

Yeah.

So, uh, Cicada?

Cicada, yes.

I've reviewed your evidence, and I know where to find your killer.

So, shall we? Let's get this done before dinner, right?

All right, allons-y.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Not so fast, baby giraffe.

Look, two detectives only complicates matters,

especially when only one is a master.

So why don't you stay put.

You can bite the leaves.

Everyone else, come with me.

[Sherloque speaks French]

[clears throat]

-You okay? -Hmm?

Oh, yeah, I'm... [chuckles forcefully]

Yeah, I'm great. I just got shut down by Jean Claude Van Damme.

You know, Cicada's not the only mystery around here

that needs solving.

Hmm.

[Dibny] Yeah. [chuckles lightly]

[Caitlin] Mom, I know it sounds crazy,

but we think someone forged Dad's death certificate.

Have you any proof?

No, well... Yeah, sort of.

It's complicated. But I just thought you should know.

-Unless I already knew. -I didn't say that.

It's why you're here, isn't it?

If this is some elaborate, possibly nefarious cover-up,

it must be Mom's doing.

It's not like she's ever had your best interests at heart.

You always do this.

I just want to know the truth. I think I deserve to know that.

Is my dad even really--

Caitlin, your father is dead.

And if you care about my feelings at all, you'll just let this be.

Thanks, Mom. Pleasure as always.

Don't become obsessed with the past.

Your father had that flaw, it nearly led to his ruin,

even before his death.

I trust you know the way out.

[sighs] I'm sorry we came all this way for no reason.

No, I'm impressed. Your mom is a really good liar.

Yeah. I know she forged this death certificate. I just...

She's never gonna tell us why.

We've hit a brick wall.

Uh, but where you see a wall,

this detective sees a brick door with no handle.

What I mean is, I know exactly how to get what we came for.

[whooshing]

-You sure he's in there? -[Sherloque] I'm certain.

Now, your evidence,

while slight, was enough to build a psychologic profile.

This is a man hiding in the shadows.

This is someone who's been pushed to the peripheries of society.

And now, he sits alone, waiting for the moment to strike.

All this, plus the sensor's data,

cross-referenced with the location of his attacks,

and the profile narrows to one name.

David Hersch.

Nora's plan might actually work.

It will work.

[sighs]

Once inside, you should find a small booby trap.

-[beeping] -I found it.

I'm on it.

[Sherloque] Here is the critical part,

it's a decoy.

[rapid beep]

-Sorry, I got caught off-guard. -It's okay.

[grunts]

Not so tough without your dagger, huh? [panting]

We got him.

[chittering]

[Hersch] That's ridiculous. I don't know what you're talking about.

You don't got anything on me.

-Well, he sounds angry. -Yeah.

Forensics examined Hersch's hideout

and they found evidence linking him to several anti-government bombings.

He's been doing it for a while.

-So we got him. -I don't know.

But they didn't find any sign of his dagger or his mask.

Dad, one CSI to another,

-look at the facts, okay? -I...

Sherloque is the best detective in the multi-verse,

his profile led us to David Hersch,

and we found evidence that David Hersch is a mass murderer.

What are the chances that this isn't our guy?

I don't know. I mean, maybe.

Come on, we should celebrate.

Okay, I'm gonna gather everyone up, mix some drinks,

and we can have our first party in the new lounge.

I don't know. I--

[chittering]

-Detective Joseph West. -What do you want?

To finish what I started.

The meta-human called Vibe.

Call him here, now.

I can't. I don't even know him.

[Cicada] You were saying?

Yes. I mean, he helps C.C.P.D.

But it's not like I have a Vibe phone so I can just call him up.

He's just a masked do-gooder that shows up at crime scenes.

[weapon searing]

This could be a crime scene.

[Caitlin] When you said you had a plan, Ralph, I didn't think you meant

breaking and entering into my mother's company's files.

Wow. Reinforced steel.

It's times like this I really miss Killer Frost.

Oh, don't you worry, Ralphy's got it.

Okay.

Yeah, almost there.

Hang on. Yeah, almost got it.

-Ooh! Oh, my gosh. -What is it?

Lasers.

-[lasers zapping] -[grunts] Lasers.

Holy schnikies!

Oh, my God, it's like a Rubik's Cube of pain.

I don't know the code.

Try something that your mother would-- [groans]

Caitlin, please, you've gotta do something.

Got it.

[exhaling]

You okay?

Nothing a gallon of aloe won't fix.

[groans]

Look for the name "Thomas Snow."

[huffs]

Jackpot.

[chuckles]

What is that?

[Caitlin] It's a game my dad and I used to play.

He would teach me the periodic table,

but he would let me make up my own fictional compounds and elements.

Neuronium?

He used to say it's what made us so smart.

[chuckles]

We used to have so much fun together.

Catching bugs in the backyard,

looking at constellations through a telescope we built and...

He taught me so much about science and life.

[Dibny] Maybe he still has something left to teach you.

-What is it? -It's a letter from my dad,

saying goodbye.

It's a suicide note.

[music playing]

Alcohol. Thank you very much. Merci. Ah.

-There he is. -Hey.

-Dad, we're all set to celebrate-- -No, hey, um...

Actually, Hersch isn't Cicada.

[Nora] What?

-Wait, he has to be. -No, I checked Cicada's boot print

from both the Block and Gridlock crime scenes,

and it's three sizes larger than Hersch's. It's not him.

Oh, no, of course it's him. It's always Hersch.

Every time I capture Cicada, it's always the same man.

Wait a minute, you've caught this guy before?

Thirty-seven times. I've captured 37 Cicadas,

37 different Earths.

And every time I try to capture him,

the trail always leads back to that Earth's David Hersch.

So, this psychological profile that you created,

you just made it up.

Not the first time, nor the next 36.

Then I just trot it out there, you know, to impress the client.

And then, [snaps fingers] skip to the end.

And here I thought you were just a bad detective.

But you're not a bad detective, you're just a lazy one.

[speaks French]

I'm not lazy, I'm efficient, right?

-Look, anyway, that's not the-- -Ow!

All right. The point is simply that

there's no reason for the Cicada of this Earth

to be anyone other than David Hersch.

Well, there may be one reason.

What is that?

The timeline.

Yeah, since Nora got here, things have changed a bit.

Oh, man, you must... How can you not tell me this?

How am I expected to operate

when you don't give me all the variables?

I don't know. But what we can expect is a refund.

-So... -Yeah.

No, well, that money's long gone.

What do you mean, "it's gone"? You spent all that money in one day?

-Right. -On what?

My ex-wife-es. Ex-wives.

Seven marriages, five wives, lots of alimony.

That is not the point. The point is simply, this is not my fault.

It's your fault. She is to blame. Timeline variance.

[gasps]

Dad.

You're not gonna let Hersch off the hook because of a boot print.

He's a meta. How do we know what this guy can do?

That's the other thing.

Hersch has no dark matter readings. He's not a meta.

All right, remember, from one CSI to another,

we have to look at the facts. Right?

-We got the wrong guy. -No, not this time.

You know what we should do?

We should throw him in The Pipeline for safekeeping, until he talks.

-I'm gonna go get him. -Hey, what are you... No, you're not.

We're not gonna kidnap a suspect in police custody.

If you don't see what's wrong with that, you can sit this one out.

Well, guess we're back to square one with Cicada.

[Iris West] Yeah.

Let's hope it's not too late to save his next victim.

[soft chirring]

[Cicada] You have a lovely family, Detective West.

By not giving me what I want, by putting your life in danger,

you're gambling their future with you.

If you knew what I know,

you'd cherish them more.

I'm not luring Vibe into a death trap.

You can threaten me all you want, I'm not afraid.

[Cicada] I believe you.

But you should be.

[groaning]

Still swirling around up there?

I just don't get Nora.

I mean, I thought our training was sinking in.

She defeated Block, I thought she was really making progress.

And next thing you know, she wants to break into C.C.P.D.

and kidnap a suspect in police custody?

I mean, it's like she wants to make Hersch Cicada.

Barry, you really don't get why she's obsessed?

-Wait, should I? -Think about it.

She's been hearing about the ripple effects on the timeline

since she got here.

And at first, they were relatively small,

-but now, Cicada and... -It's not so small.

He's one of the worst serial killers in history,

and now, because of Nora, he's here early.

And an entirely different person.

With an entirely different set of victims.

That is a huge weight to bear for someone

who just wanted to spend time with the dad she never knew.

She feels really guilty, Barry.

She wants to try to fix her mistakes, whatever that takes.

Sounds like another speedster I know, actually.

-[chuckles softly] -[cell phone chimes]

Nora says there's an emergency in the Pipeline intake.

-Are you sure that's... -Sherloque, yeah.

What happened?

As far as I can tell, it looks like he was in the wrong place

when this fusion cell went critical.

I think it wasn't placed in its cradle properly.

-[Barry] Vaporized into ash. -[Iris West] What a way to go.

-Shenanigans. -[Iris West gasps] Jesus...

-I call shenanigans. -[Iris West sighs]

You see, these cells right here,

they run in a redundant cascade circuit.

That's how they power The Pipeline in the first place,

so if one of them blew, they all would've blown.

Yeah, the whole Pipeline would've exploded.

[Cisco] Exactly right.

-[Nora] Ugh! -[groans]

Darjeeling, Oolong...

Tea leaves.

Barry, be a dear and check the building

for a weasel in a porkpie hat about yea tall,

-smells vaguely of poutine. -[sighs] Yeah.

[Sherloque panting]

Whoa. Tell me,

who died?

-Found him with this. -No, that--

Of course, you did. So you thought you could just leave

to another Earth without paying us back?

Worked on my fourth wife.

And my sixth.

-Same woman. -Oh.

Okay, Cisco, maybe it's time to have a talk

about a little place called debtors' prison.

Mmm. Come with me.

-All right. -God, you make me miss Herr Wells.

-Come with me. -I'm taking you.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah, it's just, um...

for a second, I thought me inviting Sherloque here

got him killed, and I just, um...

At least that's one thing that's not my fault.

Hey, I wanted to talk to you, actually.

Um...

I think I understand how you're feeling.

Sometimes, our powers are so extraordinary,

it makes our mistakes feel amplified, especially guilt.

Yeah, but I should feel guilty.

[sighs] I've never messed up this badly before,

and I can't stop thinking about it.

That's just 'cause you care.

It's okay, it's a good thing.

But...

[sighs]

Nora, if every time you make a mistake,

you just rush in to fix it, you're only gonna make things worse.

Trust me, I know that better than anyone.

You just gotta have a little more patience.

Take a moment, think before you act,

fix the problem the right way.

All right?

Yeah, okay.

Listen, Caitlin, I'm sorry.

-For what? -For all of this.

It's just, I felt like a complete joke

after that hostage thing.

And then, Sherloque shows up,

and everybody swoons over his so-called "master detectiveness."

You were nice enough to invite me along,

and I pushed you into that.

And I'm really sorry.

Ralph, this thing you "pushed me into"

gave me something I've never had before.

-Your first felony? -No. Closure.

It may not be pretty, but I finally know the truth.

And that means everything.

So, for my buck,

you're the best detective a girl could ask for.

[chuckles]

Hey, you never told me what the code was

on your mom's Resident Evil laser grid of death.

It was my birthday.

[whimpers]

[gasping]

[grunting]

All this and not even a scream.

You've experienced pain before,

but not more than me.

[exclaiming]

No, Cecile, don't. No, that's what he wants.

I didn't wanna do this,

not to a family man.

But I will.

Time to make a decision, Detective West,

while there's still some of you left.

[baby crying]

[device beeping]

-No, no, no. -[gasping]

[cellphone vibrating]

What's wrong?

[panting]

[grunts]

[gasps] He took Cisco.

Cicada took Cisco.

What do you mean, took him? Took him where?

I don't know. They jumped into a breach right when I got here.

But a breach could take them anywhere.

Cisco, can you hear me?

[Cisco] Hey, guys, can you hear me?

[grunts]

Cisco, where are you?

[panting]

I don't know.

My breach fritzed out and spat us out

-in a forest somewhere. -Can you breach out?

-[vibrating] -[grunting]

It's not working.

[panting]

[gasps]

Cicada's dampening his powers.

Without a satellite, I can't pinpoint his location.

I mean, in this state alone, there's over 14 millions acres of forest.

All right, Black Forest and Ronak are closest. I'll start there. [grunts]

We're not gonna find him in time, are we?

Well, before you give up,

-what kind of trees? -What?

In the forest, what kind of trees. Ask him.

Cisco, what kind of trees are they?

I don't know. I'm in a forest.

[panting]

[Sherloque] What kind of trees, little one?

-Pine trees, I think. -Good.

Some of them have pointy leaves.

Ah. "Pointy." Ash trees. Of course.

[Sherloque] All right, now, I need you to hold your breath.

What? Why?

Because I need to hear the forest. So...

[shushing]

[crickets chirping on communicator]

Crickets. Do you hear this?

Assuming there's field crickets, they live in the soil...

Anyway, cross-reference field crickets

with a high concentration of pine trees, ash trees,

in an open field and you have...

-Kolins Woods. -[The Flash] On my way.

[gasps]

[grunting]

[grunting]

[screaming]

[grunting]

[Iris West] Barry, you've got to get out of there!

[grunts]

We have to help him!

[grunts]

Barry!

[Barry] See, it takes time to hone your skills, Nora.

You can't just skip rungs on the ladder,

jump right to the big stuff.

That's not how it works.

Take a moment, think before you act,

fix the problem the right way.

I got it. I can fix this.

I've thought this through. I won't mess it up this time.

I promise.

I trust you.

Go.

[panting]

All these years that Central City spent

defending metas instead of ending them.

Those days end now,

starting with you.

[groaning]

[panting]

Use this.

Hey, Michael Myers, dampen this.

[yells]

-No. No, no, no. -[beeping]

Cisco's gone.

Oh, my...

[groaning]

[rapid beeping]

[panting]

Cisco?

[breathing heavily]

[panting]

He's alive.

He's alive.

Hey! Hey!

[grunting]

Sorry.

Your daughter.

She remembered there's more than one way to open a breach.

I figured Cicada wouldn't give up until Vibe was dead,

so, we gave him what he wanted.

Thanks, fangirl. You saved my life.

-I did good? -You did great.

It's almost like you're really dead.

Yeah. I almost really was.

[sighs]

How the hell are we gonna catch this guy?

Not with our powers. We know that at least.

[Sherloque] We don't know much else, either.

Variations in the timeline, they've shifted the elements,

complicated the equation now.

Not all those elements are bad, though.

You could be the new element that saves us.

You could be the reason we catch Cicada.

I must admit, I mean,

Ms. Nora here pulled the rug right under from Cicada.

Oof! [speaking French]

Very impressive.

Yeah, that's the only fake death we're gonna see around here

'cause you're sticking around until you pay us back every cent.

Well, I have to say, the prospect of another mystery with Cicada

puts a little pep in my step.

Also, that breach device you use to get in and out of places,

I suppose that's under lock and key right now.

That's at the bottom of the ocean as far as you're concerned.

Well, then, I'm staying! Great!

Of course, you are. I'm watching you, Holmes.

Yes, yes, yes. Well, you'll learn a lot. Good for you.

Ow!

-Right. Shall we, sidekick? -I will side-kick your face.

Something tells me those two are gonna be just great friends.

So, you guys up for a family dinner night?

-Sure. -Yeah.

And then, maybe after, we could help you move into the loft?

I know you've been kind of cooped up here,

and now that Sherloque is gonna need a place to stay,

I thought you could crash with us.

I think it's a great idea. Nora?

Okay, thanks. Yeah, thanks.

-Let me get my purse. -Okay.

This'll be good.

I think it could be just the thing to bring you two closer together.

I really hope so.

Hey.

I'm taking Cisco out for some drinks in memorium of Vibe.

-You wanna come? -I'm okay, but thank you.

Anything you wanna talk about?

My dad wasn't really the letter-writing type.

I feel like he would've found some other way to tell me.

No luck with his work notes?

No, I mean, these molecular models are gibberish.

There's gaps everywhere, and some of these compounds don't even exist.

It's like his mind was the first to go.

But maybe I should just listen to my mom and forget about the past.

Well,

you left this behind.

Sometimes the past is worth remembering.

Thank you.

[sighs]

They don't exist because they're not supposed to.

So, this is all I could remember about Cicada.

-It's not much, but... -No, no, no, this is great.

I mean, every little bit we get helps build a profile on him.

I will comb over this in the morning.

You should go be with Cecile right now.

Feel better.

Wait, there's one more thing.

He made these comments about family, and cherishing them.

And then, the way he picked up Jenna's blanket...

And I got this feeling when I looked in his eyes.

What kind of feeling?

I think Cicada's a father.

[high-pitched beeping]

Hello, Orlan.

Any progress?

She's not coming out of it.

Let me see it.

It's not healing.

Doesn't matter.

You can't keep doing this.

-You have to stop. -Not until I'm finished.

[gasps]

Oh, hi.

Uh, I'm just looking for my purse.

I'm about to have dinner with my parents.

It's on the chair, in the Cortex, by the mannequin.

Right. Thanks.

Well, enjoy the couch.

Nora.

Can you help me with something?

I've been wondering,

you've traveled back into all these great moments

of your parents' lives, right?

Some wonderful, some dangerous,

but most not as dangerous as punching a falling satellite, right?

And yet, that is the moment when you made the decision to act,

altering the course of history forever.

That decision,

did you come to it on your own?

Of course, you did, right?

No, of course you did.

You're XS and the temptation

was too much, I'm sure.

It was.

Well, please, forgive me, you have a dinner to go to.

All right.
