The Flash (2014–…): Season 4, Episode 16 - Run, Iris, Run - full transcript
Iris is given Barry's speed when the team fights a bus meta who has the ability to swap people's DNA.
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.
But I became lost in time.
It took everything
in my friends' power
to bring me back,
and in doing so
our world was opened up
to new threats.
And I'm the only one
fast enough to stop them.
I am the Flash.
Previously on
"The Flash"...
This is where I came out
of the Speed Force.
And a wave of dark matter
washed out with you.
DeVoe orchestrated everything
to get the people
he wanted on the bus.
But why does he
need their powers?
I can't figure
out his end game.
We got a planner,
just like Thawne.
I hereby deem Barry Allen's
appeal deni...
Wait!
- DeVoe?
- Not DeVoe.
It's Ralph.
Barry Allen is hereby ordered
release immediately.
♪♪
Some people don't think you
should be back on the force.
When do you think
I can come back?
When everyone believes DeVoe
is really alive and well.
I call this my thinking cap.
He only wants the bus metas.
He wants their powers.
All of them.
We know a bus meta.
There's three more people out
there who need our help,
and we need to find them
before DeVoe does.
♪♪
What if...
What if I just, like,
breach all three
of the bus metas to,
like, Earth-2?
How about this?
We alter each bus meta's DNA
by performing
intercellular surgery.
And what?
And turn them into chickens?
Yeah.
We're not Frankensteining
innocent people.
Listen, Ramon,
DeVoe wants these bodies.
All right?
Maybe if we change the bodies,
we keep these people safe.
I'm sorry, don't you have,
like, six PhDs?
- Seven.
- Yeah, which one of them
is in mad science?
Mad science is just
an area of study.
It's not a degree, okay? And by the
way,
I don't see you coming up
with any other ideas.
You know why?
'Cause it's bed time over here
on Earth-1.
Do you know what bed time is?
- Do they have that on Earth-2?
- Bed-Bed time.
All right, it's this thing
where we just shut down
to recharge our batteries.
- Oh, my gosh.
- I highly recommend it.
- Harry. You're still here?
- What?
No matter what you think,
DeVoe's already thought of it.
So why don't you just go home,
recharge, start again
in the morning, all right?
I'm gonna keep going.
Goodnight.
♪♪
Maybe you have
thought of everything.
Just like Thawne.

*THE FLASH*
Season 04 Episode 16
Title: "Run, Iris, Run"
What is all this?
This is gonna give us
the edge we finally need
to be smarter than DeVoe.
Or me to be smarter
than DeVoe, actually.
Take a look at this.
♪♪
What is that?
This is an intelligence
booster.
You put this thing
on Dibny here,
and even he would be able
to understand
the point source
construction.
You put it on a real genius,
I'll finally be able
to outthink the Thinker.
You know what, I'm not sure
this thinking cap
is the best idea
you've ever had.
It's an intelligence booster.
It looks like a thinking cap.
You don't like it,
blame yourself.
You gave me the idea.
What?
You're the one that said
DeVoe planned all this
just like Thawne in order
to stop Barry.
And you said that DeVoe became
the Thinker the same night
you became the Flash,
and so I hacked into
security footage of that
night to see how he did it.
♪♪
This is why he's so smart.
DeVoe boosted his intelligence
with neurochemical engineering
powered by the dark energy
from the particle accelerator
explosion.
And if we build our own,
we can do the exact same.
Wait, you wanna blast
your brain
with 10 billion joules
of dark energy?
I've harnessed energy from the
particle accelerator explosion before,
- and I can do it again.
- Yeah, but Harry,
reengineering your brain's
- neurochemistry, that's...
- DeVoe did it.
So can I.
How many more metas have to die
before we finally stop DeVoe?
Uh... not... Not me.
I mean...
I say we go for it.
Right?
Right, guys?
What do you think?
I say we explore it.
Yeah, I agree.
Ramon.
No, this is way too risky.
Of course it's risky,
but if we succeed,
we will save the lives of
the four remaining bus metas,
including a member
of our team.
You're talking about intense
amounts of dark energy
going right into your brain,
right into that cap,
that turned a mac and cheese
loving pacifist
into a homicidal maniac.
You put that cap on,
what's it gonna do to you?
I've run the numbers
dozens of times.
The math and the chemistry check out.
I can do this.
I don't think you can.
I can with your help.
Not this time.
All right, let's keep coming up
with more ways to solve this.
♪♪
Just so I'm clear on this,
someone finally came up
with a way to stop this
La-Z-Boy riding lunatic
and we just might not do it?
♪♪
That's really cool, guys.
♪♪
- I got this one.
- Yeah, thanks.
This is the only way.
I'm gonna do it
with or without his help.
Hey, Ralph.
Look, don't worry, okay?
We're gonna figure this out.
Yeah, everybody keeps
saying that,
and each time we almost
get DeVoe, he gets away.
Every time he gets away,
he's one step closer
to getting me.
Hey, that is not
going to happen.
Well, I can't take that
chance anymore, Iris.
So if anyone needs me,
I will be downstairs
in my tiny guest quarters
until this is over.
There are still three bus
metas out there,
and we're gonna need your help
to find them and protect them.
Iris, the only person I need
to protect from now on
is good old Ralphie boy.
You are part of this team.
Yeah, and I'm the only one
with a body that DeVoe
is trying to snatch.
You don't have any concept
of how dangerous it is
- for me out there.
- Yes, I do.
How could you?
Because I'm the leader
of this team.
Yeah, that's right,
you are.
But you're always back there
hiding safe and sound.
While the rest of us are
out in the field
putting our lives
on the line.

to your paradise ♪

Hey, sorry I'm late.
Some drama in the Cortex.
- Thanks for the coffee.
- It's all good.
You okay?
Yeah, yeah,
I'm, you know...
Cecile's in her
third trimester,
so it's definitely
getting serious.
You guys have any names
picked out yet?
Uh, yeah.
A few.
Come on,
I'm not gonna tell anybody.
No, you're not, because
you're not gonna know
until Cecile tells you.
- All right.
- Anyway.
I talked to Singh about getting
you back in the lab.
- Yeah, and?
- It's gonna be a while.
Why?
I thought Judge Hankerson
and Singh had
everything they needed.
We thought so, too,
but the mayor wants to sit down
with the DeVoes herself.
Seriously?
Look, we can't find Marlize,
so the only chance we got
is to get Ralph to use
his nauseating powers
to impersonate DeVoe again.
All right, I'll ask him,
but right now he'll barely
- leave S.T.A.R. Labs.
- What happened to that whole
buddy system thing
you had going on?
It's not enough for him,
I guess.
Then I don't know, Barry.
I should be out there.
Helping people.
Putting bad guys away.
Right now, we should be
trying to stop DeVoe
and finding those
last few bus metas.
'Cause I got a bad feeling one
of them's gonna show up soon.
♪♪
Next time,
it'll be your hand.
Now, everybody on the floor.
♪♪
Dude, you got a death wish?
Do what he says.
Stealing is a sin.
You shouldn't be
using the powers
you've been given this way.
I'll use them any way
I see fit.
Including frying you
to a crisp
if you move any closer.
Oh, I don't think you will.
You don't wanna hurt me
or anyone in this bank.
You can still walk
away from this.
♪♪
But the moment you
touch that money,
your life changes forever.
Now, you don't really want
that, do you?
Maybe you're right.
Or maybe you've got
a death wish!
What the hell?
My powers!
They're gone!
No, no, no!
Hey, buddy, you're a real...
♪♪
Hero.
- Cisco.
- Hmm?
What do you got?
Oh, you know,
the usual.
Just loads and loads
of dark matter.
Makes sense.
Eye witnesses said this guy
melted this vault door
with fire from his hands.
Hmm, figures.
But not just any fire.
This fire melted through
ten inches of reinforced steel.
I mean, that would take over
6,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Ten times the thermal output
of Rory's heat gun.
Well, here's where
it gets weirder.
Apparently shortly after,
his powers stopped working.
Stopped working?
Yeah, so if he was one
of our bus metas,
I guess we have one less
to worry about.
Nobody's powers stop working.
Eric Fry, six months ago,
were you on the 405 bus?
Please.
Do I look like someone
who takes public transit?
All right, then, Mr. Fry.
How long have you
had your powers?
- A few years.
- Oh.
You're an OG meta.
And you just started
using them now?
Here, yeah.
Once Flash showed up,
I took this act on the road.
Doesn't matter anymore, though.
Right, you don't have
your powers anymore.
'Cause they just disappeared?
Vanished?
Into thin air?
Huh?
All right, Cisco.
He's clear.
You have any idea
how this happened?
One minute I had powers.
The next...
Nothing.
Will you get him out of here?
That's right.
Get him out of here.
- All right.
- Yeah, get him out of here.
I can't believe his powers
disappeared like that.
How does someone
lose their powers?
So, I can think
of a couple of ways
this might have happened.
If this Eric Fry
metastasizes solar radiation
to create heat,
we could put him in the dark
to de-power him.
But it was still
broad daylight.
Okay, maybe his
internal biochemistry
has been altered to create its
own internal thermal combustion
and he just ran out of fuel.
Okay, so if this guy's not
one of the bus metas,
then that means that there's
still three more out there
before DeVoe gets to me.
So,
I'm I'm safe.
Safer, I'm safer.
Those are innocent people,
Ralph.
I'm innocent.
I'm still gonna get terminated.
Oh, my God.
I'm Sarah Connor.
No.
I'm gonna go back
to my room.
Get some comfort food.
Ralph...
The way I see it,
Fry walks into the bank
with his fire powers,
meets this other guy,
and then his powers are gone.
Coincidence?
I think not.
So you think this guy
did something to Fry?
I think we can ask him
some questions.
I interviewed every
eye witness in that bank.
Nobody knew who he was.
Cisco, why don't you
crosscheck the deposits
- from today with dad's witness list?
- Way ahead of you.
Everyone on the list checks out
except Matthew Kim...
An EMT out of
Central City General.
Barry, let's go
ask some questions.
Oh, I'll go.
Barry, you can stay here.
Um, okay.
Well, you know, I never go
out into the field,
so I thought, you know...
Yeah, I mean,
you're the boss.
Okay.
Uh, Caitlin,
why don't you see how this
power stealing thing works,
and Cisco, why don't you use
the satellite's tracking
perimeters to scan the city
for dark matter?
Mmm-hmm.
Okay.
I'll just come running
if you need me.
Okay. Thanks.
♪♪
Can I hang out in here?
Can you... Do you mind...
Can you save
the eating till later?
We're actually trying
to save lives here.
This is really good, though.
Is it?
Yeah.
You put this together
pretty quick, huh?
Yes, I did,
for a test run.
Ooh.
I can feel my neurons firing.
Firing at a rate 20 times
their normal rate.
And that's without
the addition of dark matter.
I can feel my brain's
processing systems evolving.
There's a 67% chance you're
gonna spill that mustard
- on the floor.
- Oh!
Okay, how did you do that?
Well, I simply analyzed
your eating habits
and extrapolated them at
a predictive behavior model
all within four seconds.
The cap is working.
Eh, cool,
but I'm not quite convinced.
No?
Really?
You're not convinced?
All right, then.
The answer is none.
And have a little more respect
for your body, will you?
This is a veggie dog, man.
I'm not talking about
the veggie dog, man.
I'm talking about the wiping
the mustard on the pants
causes the pant movement which
indicates a lack of clothing
to bodily friction,
which can mean only one thing.
Right, what kind of underwear
am I wearing?
And the answer...
is none.
You got all that from your
fancy metal cap?
- Yes, I did.
- It's impressive, Harry.
Except for one
very small thing.
Which is?
Your head is on fire.
It's no...
♪♪
When I mentioned spending
more time together,
I meant family barbecues,
not questioning
people of interest.
I know, I just want people
to know that I'm not afraid
to go out in the field
every once in a while.
Who says you are?
- Ralph.
- Ralph?
He should talk. He won't
even leave the building.
I know, but it made me
wonder, you know?
What kind of leader constantly
puts everyone else's life
- on the line except their own?
- Oh, baby.
We all know you're fearless.
Whenever you've been needed
on the field, you've gone.
So don't let Ralph

Yes, he's right

There?
Thank you.

I lost my speed.
What do you mean
you lost your speed?
Uh, guys,
I think I found it.

This is amazing.
Yeah, it is.
Well, I've run every test
I can think of.
EKG, cellular regression
synthesis,
brain chemistry,
and dark matter confirms it.
Iris is a speedster.
So, what about Barry?
Um...
Everything that was
a part of you...
Your speed,
connection to the Speed Force,
the dark matter...
It's... all a part of Iris now.
♪♪
- Can you...
- Reverse it?
I don't know.
I can try.
So, Matthew Kim isn't
just removing DNA.
He's transferring it
to anybody he touches.
He's not getting
rid of metas.
He's creating new ones.
Well, that's not
the only thing.
Guess who's got an apartment
just a block away
from the 405 bus line and rides
it every day to get to work?
So Matthew is our bus meta,
not Fry.
Which means that DeVoe is gonna
come after him sooner or later.
And if DeVoe gets
Matthew's abilities,
he could take away
all our powers.
Unless we get him
on our side first.
Then he can remove
the meta DNA from DeVoe.
- Could that work?
- I mean, yeah.
It could.
As best I can tell,
Matthew's abilities work
by melting down
the highly concentrated bonds
between DNA.
That makes them totally pliable
so he can extract them
and infuse somebody else
with the exact same meta DNA.
Melting highly
concentrated bonds.
Melting Point.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I gotta write that down.
Okay, great, so you guys
figure out how to get
this Mr. Melting Point in the
same room as DeVoe
and not get his
brains sucked out.
I'm gonna go get a couple
of bear claws
and go back to my room.
It's not Mr. Melting Point.
Look, it's just Melting Point.
You know, somebody out there has
Fry's fire powers right now.
We need to find them as much
as we need to find Matthew.
I'm on it.
And I'll see if there's
a way to reverse this.
♪♪
Well...
Until then, what do we do?
We train.
Okay.

What are you doing?
Updating some software.
Oh, good.
So nothing.

What do you want?
Do you have a microfilament
compression wrench
with cobalt
retrieving clamp?
Yeah.
Yeah, where is it?
Why, so you can work
on your death cap?
- It's not a death cap.
- It's a death cap.
- No, it isn't.
- I hear there's plenty

- Yeah, well I'm on Earth1.
Oh, you need a lift?
I'll breach you there
right now!
That's not
what I sound like!
Fine.
Cisco, why can't you
just help him?
Why am I the only one who
thinks putting a rageoholic
and dark matter together
is a bad idea?
He's trying to stop DeVoe.
That's not a bad idea.
He's trying to match his
intellect with a mad man
whose innovations
are warping his brain.
Have you not seen
"Spider-Man 2?"
- No.
- How can you live with yourself?
It might be dangerous,
but it also might work.
And we're kind of running
out of ideas.
Besides, Harry's gonna do this
whether you help him or not.
So maybe there's some way
to make this thinking cap
and to keep him safe.

Barry, when I was a reporter,
I was always in the field

we could put him in the dark

But it was still
broad daylight.
Okay, maybe his
internal biochemistry
has been altered to create its
own internal thermal combustion

Fine.
Cisco, why can't you
just help him?
Why am I the only one who
thinks putting a rageoholic
and dark matter together
is a bad idea?
He's trying to stop DeVoe.
That's not a bad idea.
He's trying to match his
intellect with a mad man
whose innovations
are warping his brain.
Have you not seen
"Spider-Man 2?"
- No.
- How can you live with yourself?
It might be dangerous,
but it also might work.
And we're kind of running
out of ideas.
Besides, Harry's gonna do this
whether you help him or not.
So maybe there's some way
to make this thinking cap
and to keep him safe.
