[machinery whirring]

[device warbling]

[device beeping]

[sighs]

[whooshing]

How long until it's finished?

[sighs] It's gonna take a lot longer
than it would otherwise

if you keep interrupting me.

Hmm.

How long?

Or is getting your girlfriend back
not important anymore?

I don't know. Another hour?

[chuckles softly]

This machine…
I don't know what you want it for,

and I don't care.
It's none of my business.

But…

Sure would be helpful to know
how you expect me to power it.

Leave the power source to me.

Okay.

You do realize this thing

takes enough juice
to light up the whole Eastern Seaboard?

Are you doubting me?

I'm not surprised.
You're all the same, aren't you?

Criminals.

A superstitious and cowardly lot.

Quivering like mice in their little holes.

Easy prey for the bat.

[distorted voice] Now, let me go enlist
another mouse to our cause.

[Iris] So, we don't know
who The Rogues' new partner is

or what they would need
the cosmic treadmill for.

But we do know that he's a speedster.

And he's the new avatar
for the Negative Speed Force.

So if this new speedster is the avatar,

won't he try to kill you?

I'm not so sure.

I mean, back at Fort L.U.K.I.A.,
when he had disabled my powers,

he could have killed me right on the spot.
But he didn't.

Why not?

Maybe he doesn't wanna be the avatar.

Maybe he's just been corrupted
by negative speed.

Like Meena Dhawan.

Whatever this new avatar is doing
with the treadmill,

it'll upset the balance
between the Forces all over again.

If there's even the slightest chance
that I can pull him back from the brink…

It's not supposed to end like this.

Barry, Thawne got himself killed.

-You didn't cause that.
-I know.

But I won't let anyone go down
that same path.

Not if I can help it.

[sighs] I need to go to S.T.A.R. Labs.

Chester and I are gonna reset
the satellites to scan for the avatar.

Okay. I'm gonna stay here.

Luke Fox just sent me the GPS coordinates
I asked for.

Ryan Wilder's last known location
the day that she disappeared.

She's the CEO of Wayne Enterprises.

And now this new avatar
is handing out Wayne tech?

That's not a coincidence.

Ryan's lucky to have you in her corner.

Thanks. Be safe out there.

I will.

Promise.

"The night before
the Red Panda's second game,

Payton has a dream
that he's a soccer superhero--"

-Hi.
-Hey.

I'm so sorry. Training ran late.

-Mommy!
-Hi, nugget!

[gasps] Jenna Marie West,

did you get taller while I was gone?

You're not supposed to do that.

All growing happens when Mommy's at home!

[Jenna giggles]

-Leftovers in the fridge.
-Thank you.

Okay, I'm starving.

Hey.

What's this?

Little one, take this upstairs.
I'll be right there, okay?

Uh… [sighs]

Look, you know how I've been thinking
about us leaving the city.

Because you were worried
about me being out on the front lines.

But we said that we would talk
about that together.

But you're…
What, you're talking to a realtor?

I know. I'm sorry.

But I saw that house
and it's perfect for us.

It's in a highly-rated school district.

It has a huge backyard
for Jenna to play in--

Joe, it's a two-hour commute
from Central City.

Did you think about my job?
I have a law practice.

It has an extra room
that's perfect for a home office.

I think we should take a look at it.
It won't be on the market for long.

I'm not looking at any houses.

Not until we've thought about
what a move like this would even mean.

For the both of us.

You're right.

I'm just gonna get her tucked in.

[sighs]

[computer beeps]

Uh…

I thought the timing was right now.

Okay.

Gideon's picked up the tachyon signature
we pulled off my suit

-after the avatar attacked.
-Okay, let's do this thing.

[indistinct chatter]

[whooshing]

[all screaming]

[distorted voice]
Come on and get me, Flash.

Ah. There he is.

-Here to save the day?
-I'm here to talk.

[distorted voice] By all means, please.

I know what you're doing.

You're trying to build a cosmic treadmill.

But if you tell me why you're doing this,
where your powers come from,

maybe I can help.

And we can solve everything
without more fighting.

I just need to know what it is you want
and who you really are.

[distorted voice]
You want to know who I am?

I'm the last glimmer of crimson
a killer sees

before he draws his final breath.

I am vengeance.

I am the night.

I am The Red Death.

Bivolo?

[shudders]

What's the matter, Flash?
You seem… terrified.

[groaning and panting]

[The Red Death] Too easy.

And now, let there be darkness!

What the hell?

What in the world?

Flash, can you hear me?

Flash!

[The Red Death] Now, the real work begins.

Wakey, wakey.

[The Flash inhales sharply]

-Where am I?
-You're in hell.

So don't even bother trying to run.

Bivolo… you were in it for the money.

Why join up with killers?

You let me rot in that Pipeline of yours
for nine months.

I've been waiting to get even a long time.

Now, what should we do with you?

[signing] I vote target practice.

Whoa. Wait, wait, wait, wait, better.
You know, better idea.

Why don't we see who's behind the mask?

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

That is, unless, what you want

is to get pumped full of 50,000 volts
from the booby trap in his cowl.

Chillblaine.

What are you still doing with these guys?

My job.

[The Flash] No.

You're gonna build
The Red Death's cosmic treadmill for him?

"Him"?

[gasps]

Somebody needs to catch up.

That machine can tap into forces
beyond anyone's control.

If she uses it,
it could damage the whole timeline.

Destroy countless lives.

[The Red Death] What a pity that would be.

Blaine, get back to work.

The rest of you, guard the entrances.

The blackouts should keep the police busy.
But it won't be long

before his foolish teammates
attempt a rescue mission.

You said you wanted to talk, Flash.

So let's talk.

Damn it. Comms are still down

and I can't get a hold of Iris,
or Joe and Cecile.

They'll be okay.
Cecile is strong. She can protect them.

Sweet Otis Boykin!

That was one of the strongest
electromagnetic pulses

ever recorded outside of a nuclear event.

Even with our backup generators,
we're only operating at 20% power.

Nowhere close enough to reestablishing
a link with our satellites.

So we have no way of finding Barry?

All we know is, last time we had contact
he was with Red Death and Bivolo.

If he's not here by now,
they probably took him somewhere.

In a lightning storm,
hot air and cold air come together.

When the liquid droplets
and the icy crystals collide,

they become static electricity.

Something they never could've been before.

Okay. Well, what does that
have to do with us?

We need to collide with our opposites
to solve our problem.

Wait. Are you saying we need
to call Barry's Rogues squad?

I could use our CB radio to send out
a distress call at 160 Hertz.

Hartley uses that frequency with his crew.

-Sounds like a long shot.
-Maybe.

But right now this is all we've got.

[The Red Death] What a sight.

The so-called "fastest man alive."

Helpless.

Chained.

Powerless.

I don't know who you are.

But I know how much hate
you must feel for me.

But it isn't yours.

It's the Negative Speed Force
influencing you.

It feeds off your rage and anger.

Now it's corrupted your mind.

[The Red Death]
And you think I can be saved?

I've seen it happen before.
The power that's inside you is strong.

But we can beat it.

I can help you if you let me.

[The Red Death]
Always seeing the best in your enemies

and the worst in your so-called allies.

How would you know that?

[The Red Death]
Because I know who you are.

A pathetic excuse for a hero,

more than willing
to stab his friends in the back!

[screams and grunts]

What did I do to you?

What do you want with me?

[The Red Death] Nothing that can't be
easily taken.

You see, you're just one part of my plan.

There's someone else
who's far more important than you.

Someone who will ensure my success.

Your lightning rod.

Iris.

[sighs]

[faint knocking]

-Hello?
-[knocking on door]

Hello? Who's there?

[woman] Iris West-Allen?

[sniffles]

Ryan Wilder?

[breaths heavily]

One second,
I'm crossing the bridge into Central City.

The next, this wave passed over my car.

It killed my battery,
fried the voltage cable

and burned my arm
like some kind of electromagnetic pulse.

I think I know who did this.

We've been dealing with a new enemy.

Barry thinks he's the avatar
of the Negative Speed Force.

Let me guess.

They're an evil speedster
who wears red armor?

Yeah, a few days back,

I was on patrol in Gotham.
This speedster blindsided me.

Beat my ass,
left me for dead outside the Palisades.

Called himself The Red Death.

When he attacked you,
did he steal anything? Gear, tech?

Yeah, he ransacked my utility belt.
How'd you guess?

[sighs]

This Red Death has been
handing out weapons to his new allies.

Advanced versions of Wayne Tech.

Yeah, well,
I could've used that equipment.

It took me forever
to drag myself back to the Batcave.

Then Luke told me
you guys were looking for me,

so I thought I'd just show up
and pay you a visit.

You got from Gotham
to Central City in a day?

My car drives really fast.

[chuckles softly] Oh.

But not as fast as your husband.
Where is Barry, anyway?

He's at S.T.A.R. Labs.
At least, I don't know, I think he is.

My phone stopped working
when the power went out.

Well, I appreciate you bandaging me up
in the middle of all this.

But right now,
I wanna help you take down this Red Death.

Hit by an EMP,
and now back to crimefighting already?

Well, everybody's got their limits.

I, uh, ignore mine.

[Goldface] This the brain trust
that lost the Flash?

[Chester] Oh, thank Crom. You got our SOS.

You think I wouldn't notice
someone tapping Morse code

into my private frequency?

The blackout knocked out
every car battery in the city,

so we had to hoof it over here.

And we appreciate that, truly.

Meh.

Yeah, so what do we do?

Mount a search party?
Hit the known Rogue hangouts?

[scoffs] Please, Garcia. I came prepared.

A little help.

Meet the Harmonic Frequency Tracer.

We set this
to Flash's vibrational biometrics,

we can find him anywhere on the planet.

Now watch and learn.

-[beeping]
-No signal?

Something must be wrong
with your biometric system.

Or there's something wrong with your toy.

Come on. What's the first thing you do
to any detainee in this town?

-You meta-cuff 'em.
-If the Flash doesn't have his speed,

-then the tracer's not--
-I'm aware of that.

Leave Iris alone.
She's got nothing to do with this.

[The Red Death] Oh, but she does, Flash.

Whatever happens to her…

is on you.

You don't understand.

The negative speed inside you
is clouding your mind.

It's making you believe
I've done something awful to you,

but I haven't!

The Negative Speed Force,
it wants to make you its champion.

Its avatar!

That's why it gave you these powers!

So it could pit you against me!

It wants to upset the balance of reality.

[The Red Death] Is that where you think
I get my powers from, Flash?

[chuckles]

And that I'm some kind of
herald for the dark cosmos?

Oh, no, Flash.

What the hell?

[The Red Death]
I'm something far more powerful.

[The Flash] Your armor…

You're controlling it remotely.

[The Red Death] I built this armor,
just like I built my own speed.

Which means I don't require the aid
of any pathetic Negative Forces.

You're not the avatar.

Your speed's artificial.

Only organic speed
can power the treadmill.

That's why I'm here?

[The Red Death] You will be
my fuel source, Flash.

And once you start running,
you won't stop…

until you die.

[The Flash through earpiece] Only organic
speed can power the treadmill.

That's why I'm here?

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Just, it's been a long day.

So, uh, you must stay busy.
You run that company, CCC Media, right?

Yeah, I do.

We don't have
much of an audience in Gotham.

Yeah, well, I'm a big fan of the podcast.

[chuckles politely]

You need cream?

Uh, no, I'm okay.

All right. So,
The Red Death has got all of his pieces

that he needs for his treadmill.

Any idea what he has planned next?

[Iris] Uh, no, no idea.

But the blackout
has gotta be connected somehow.

[Ryan] Well, looks like
he's got plenty of help.

Yeah.

Thankfully, so does Barry.

He's working with criminals, too?

Reformed, mostly.

There's no such thing.

I get it. If my adoptive mother
was killed by the Royal Flush Gang,

I wouldn't trust Rogues either.

Yeah. But you know, that was…

That was a long time ago.

[weapon powering up]

Was it something I said?

Ryan Wilder's mother
was killed by the Wonderland gang.

The real Ryan
has never been in this house either.

But here you are,
walking around like you own the place.

So who the hell are you?

Iris…

This is gonna be hard to believe,

but where I'm from, I'm your best friend.

Okay, my name is Ryan Wilder,
but I'm from another timeline.

One just like this one, except for there,
the Flash is the world's greatest villain.

It's you, isn't it?

Red Death.

Are you here to kill me?

If I wanted to hurt you,
I would've done it already.

So, what?
You're just here to lie to me for fun?

If I showed up saying I was your Big Bad,

you would've thrown me in The Pipeline.

I know you, Iris.

I thought if you got to know me,

if we formed a connection
before I had to drop this bomb,

you'd hear me out.

I want the truth.

Where I'm from, there is no Batman.

The Waynes adopted me
when I was only days old,

and when they were
gunned down in the alley,

I swore to protect my city at all costs.

For ten years,
I locked up the dregs of society.

Hush, Simon Hurt, even my own brother.

Only to see them escape Arkham,

and go right back
to preying on the innocent.

I was Gotham's protector,
and I was losing the fight,

so I did what had to be done.

I studied the technology of my enemies,

and I engineered my own versions of it.

So that's where
The Rogues' new weapons come from.

Eventually, I had decided
to study the abilities of other heroes,

starting with my ally from the League.

Flash.

I mined the data from Flash's suit
and used it to create my own armor.

My own artificial Speed Force.

You really expect me to believe
that you stole super-speed to fight crime?

Not fight, eliminate.

With Flash's power,
I could put a criminal behind bars

before they even
thought of committing a crime.

Don't you see?

The people of Gotham, they were suffering.

They deserved a hero
who could make a real difference.

I found a way to stop crime permanently,
something he failed to accomplish.

So he freed his Rogues from Iron Heights
and led them in a war against me.

They tore apart my entire city
trying to kill me.

Why would the Flash
do something like that?

[Ryan] Even the Flash has his demons.

I tried to hide in the Speed Force,

but my speed's not organic,
so it rejected me.

When it threw me out,
I ended up in this timeline.

-But I need to go back.
-That's why you need the cosmic treadmill.

My Flash was out of control.

I can only imagine what he's done
in my world since I've been gone.

Iris, you're Flash's lightning rod
in every timeline.

You can convince him to stand down
and end this Rogue War he started.

Please. You're my only hope.

Joe, I do not need
to use my empathic abilities

to know that there is something
that you are not telling me.

So, what? What is it?

Why this sudden rush
to get out of Central City?

What is it really about?

You know
I tried really hard raising my kids.

But back then, when Iris was Jenna's age,

she had to grow up with a father
who might go to work in the morning…

never come back.

Wally, poor kid,

for the first 20 years of his life,
thought I'd ran out on him.

They had to deal with burdens
I wish they didn't have to carry.

I know, but, baby,
you gave them everything that you had.

Cecile,

we have the chance
to raise Jenna in a place where she…

She doesn't have to hide in her room

because there is a supercharged blackout.

I want us…

to give Jenna…

what I couldn't give Iris and Wally.

A normal childhood.

[sighs]

Here. While no one's watching us.

No, thanks.

You're no good to us dead.

Mark, you don't have to do this.

If I want Frost back, I do.

And what happens
when she turns on that treadmill

and busts a hole in the timeline?

Or decides
it's a lot easier to just kill you

than help you bring Frost back?

If I die, I die.

I mean, who would even care?

You are a part of Team Flash.

No, I'm not. Not anymore.

Now I'm just another dirtbag
who double-crossed you, aren't I?

Mark!

Before Frost was one of my best friends,
she tried to kill me.

People make mistakes.

I was so desperate not to make
the same mistakes I made with Thawne,

that I rushed into thinking
The Red Death was the new avatar.

But actually, she's a new threat.

One I wasn't ready for.

And now, the whole world
might have to pay for my mistake.

And the only one
that can help me out of this is you.

[scoffing] Me?

You've got the wrong guy.

-It's too late for me.
-No, you're wrong.

It's never too late for second chances.

Look, maybe I didn't
go about this the right way.

But Iris, you are his lightning rod.
You can calm him down, make a truce.

Wouldn't it be easier
to convince your Iris to help?

I tried that.

We had a falling out
when the Flash turned against me.

I don't believe you.

You and Iris were best friends.

You knew her better
than anyone in the world.

If things really were as dire as you say,
why wouldn't she help?

Because she can't.

When the Flash and The Rogues
were attacking me,

I was dead to rights.

All I could do was
throw a lightning bolt and hope it landed.

It was meant for the Flash, but--

You killed her.

It was an accident.

But if my Iris were alive,

she would help me do it. I know it.

But she's not.

That part, I believe.

It's the rest of your story
that I'm struggling with.

You see, we have this thing
in journalism called a Red Team.

And before we go to print
with any big story,

we put together a group of reporters
and have them try to poke holes in it.

Make sure we're airtight.

If I was Red Teaming your story,

I would take another look
at why the Flash turned on you.

You said it was because he was jealous.

But you're the one who's obsessed
with your enemies' technologies.

You're the one trying to stop crimes
before people can even commit them.

Did the Flash really turn against you?

Or did he see your thirst for power
and try to take you down?

You're twisting my words.

Why are you trying
to take me to your timeline?

Do you really want a truce?

Or are you using me as bait
to bring your Flash out?

I am trying to protect my city!

-You don't want peace with the Flash.
-[weapon powering up]

-You want to kill him.
-You're damn right I do!

[both grunting]

Oh, Iris.

I wanted you to choose this

so that maybe, when the dust settled,

I could get my friend back.

But I guess it's not meant to be.

I wanted to do this the easy way.

But you wanna get nuts?

[distorted voice] Come on.

Let's get nuts!

-Iris?
-[Iris] Flash!

Are you okay?

[The Red Death]
Well, it's up to you, Flash.

Ryan Wilder?

I'm just a woman trying to get home.

Now, you're gonna run
until you can't run anymore.

-And if you don't, she dies.
-That's not true. She needs me alive.

But I don't need you undamaged.

-[screams]
-Stop!

[Iris panting and groaning]

-I'll do it.
-No, don't.

I won't let her hurt you.

Deactivating meta-cuff.

[beeps]

Engaging vibration engine.

[chimes and beeps]

[whirring]

[panting]

-You want her to have a normal life--
-Mommy! Daddy!

Jenna, it's okay.

[thunder rumbling]

Joe, get her.

You're okay.

[groaning]

I'm feeling a really huge wave of fear.

Joe, the Zajac's house has been hit, too.
I need to help them.

[woman screaming in distance]

[people clamoring outside]

[sirens wailing]

[beeping]

I think that it's working.

Oh, frak! Yeah, it is.

-Flash is out by Route 119.
-Let's go get him right now.

How do we do that?
You got a teleporter we don't know about?

Actually, I do.

Mark, please. You don't have to do this.

-You still have a choice.
-No, he doesn't.

I'm giving him the one thing he wants,
what your team refuses to give.

It's too late.

It's never too late.

[The Flash grunts]

[Ryan screaming]

[The Flash groans]

-Barry! Are you okay?
-Yeah.

-[man grunts]
-[body thuds]

[The Flash] Mark?

What did you do?

I overloaded the capacitors.

So instead of turning
your organic speed into a wormhole,

the treadmill shot it all back at her.

-Overwhelming her artificial speed.
-[Mark] Yeah.

The treadmill is toast now.

-We gotta boogie.
-Hang on.

The treadmill drained
too much of my speed. I can't run.

[Roy] Where do you think you're going?

I'll hold them off.

-Mark…
-Go!

You think
you can double-cross us, Ken Doll?

Actually, yeah. I do.

[all grunting]

-I've got to help!
-No!

Somebody order a prison break?

-How'd you know we were here?
-Long story. We'll tell you later.

Hang on, we gotta get Mark.

No. Suit's recharging.

-We gotta go. Right now.
-No, I'm not gonna leave him behind!

What are you doing?

Without your speed,
that monster will slaughter us all!

-What are you doing?
-Come on.

Hey!

Stop!

[grunts]

Mark.

[breathing heavily]

This isn't right.
We shouldn't have left him there.

What? No "thanks
for saving our sorry asses"?

It's not the way we do things!
We don't leave people behind!

What choice did we have?

Without your speed, that psycho
would've killed all of us, not just Mark.

What about Mark?

I'm sorry.

He didn't make it out.

Well, then we have to go back for him.

He's dead, lady. And even if he weren't,

why would we risk our hides
to go save the guy who betrayed us?

Mark saved Barry's life.

He saw which way the wind was blowing
and switched sides. Again.

Like that's so different
than the rest of you?

I do not like you.

[scoffs] So what?

So, everything
on this planet is connected.

We are all part of a greater whole.

Mark's life doesn't matter
any less than the rest of you.

Are you seriously defending the guy
who tried to turn you into his dead ex?

Yes, because throwing away
even one life is absolutely senseless.

Khione's right. We can't lose anyone else.

We need to figure out
Red Death's next move.

She still has
the whole city under blackout.

Well, Mark destroyed her treadmill, right?

So, I don't know, maybe she'll just
pack it up and go home.

She can't.

She's from a different timeline.

Everything she's done
is about getting revenge

on her own version of the Flash.

That's just great.

She probably hates you
as much as the other one.

Damn.

You're just as responsible
for destroying her ride as Mark is.

Which means that
whatever she's planning next,

it's only going to get worse.

Hey.

[Chester] Can't believe it.

I mean, Mark's dead?

I know.

And… Chuck?

I know I've been the one
avoiding having this conversation, but,

after tonight, it just reminded me of
how little time any of us might have left.

And so, I think…

I'm ready to talk.

You know, about us.

[chuckles]

Allegra, um…

I can't believe I'm saying this, but, uh…

Look, our satellites are still down,
and we still barely have any power.

And now, with Mark…

Maybe our timing just isn't right.

Yeah, of course.

I can't believe I brought that up.

-That was stupid.
-No, it's not.

It's not stupid.

'Cause, look, as soon as
we send Red Death packing,

we're gonna sit down.

And we're gonna
figure out what all this is.

-You doing okay, babe?
-Hmm?

You look a little down for somebody
who just saved her daughter.

And the neighborhood.

I don't know, I just…

I keep thinking about that lightning.

You realize if it had hit
a few feet higher,

it would've blown a hole
straight into Jenna's bedroom.

I don't know, babe.

Maybe you're right. Maybe the city
isn't a safe place to raise our girl.

Hey, nugget!

I drew you a picture.

-What?
-What is it?

[Jenna] It's Mommy saving the day!

That's right, baby girl.
Mommy is a superhero.

And she ain't stopping anytime soon.

Little one, time to go back to bed.

-Be up in a sec, okay?
-[Jenna] Okay.

I don't understand.

Listen…

We both want Jenna to have
a safe and normal childhood.

But I also want her to grow up

knowing she can be
anything she wants, just like her momma.

What are we telling that little girl
up there if you quit now?

Yeah.

So, we can stay in Central City?

Mmm.

[sighs]

[Ryan] It's gone.

All my work.

My dreams.

Crushed by the Flash again!

[breathing heavily]

So, what do you want us to do now?

The Flash won't let me
go back to my world.

So I'll take his.

But this time,
we will bring the war to him!

[screams]
