The Flash (2014–…): Season 7, Episode 14 - Rayo de Luz - full transcript

With Cisco having moved, Barry and Iris on vacation, and Frost dealing with personal business, it's up to Allegra, Chester, Sue, and Caitlin to deal with the return of Allegra's cousin Ultraviolet. Meanwhile, Joe finds out the dark secret that Kristen is hiding, and she turns to him for help.

Please... Please, don't...

Don't do this.

The Indian Ocean?

Yeah, there's this
great island there.

Super secluded, and it's
been pretty quiet here recently,

so I'm zooping Iris
away for a little vacation.

Actually, it was Chester's
idea, you remember?

Can't forget.

Hey, Chester!

Iris! Wait...

Wait, if you're down here
and he's down here, then...



- No.
- Oh, my!

As much as I'd like to.

Cell phone reception's,
uh, nonexistent,

so we're going to be
off the grid for a while.

It should be nice just
to focus on each other

while we're trying to...

Um...

What I mean, Iris and
I, what we're trying to...

- Trying to reconnect, right?
- Reconnect. Yeah.

I mean, you know,
'cause lately, if one of you

- isn't stuck in the Mirrorverse...
- The Mirrorverse.

Then the other is stuck in
some psycho-masked hellscape.

- Yeah.
- Am I right?

- Okay, cool. Have fun.
- Okay.



- Thanks.
- Yeah.

So, Frost, with boss
man and boss lady away,

need us to do anything?

Nope. No baddies means
we can take the day.

I think we all need some R&R.

Oh, to start off this R&R,

why don't you guys join
me in a little bit of D&D?

Frost, if you're free,

I could use a chaotic good
ice sorcerer to help me slay

the Bog Beast of Balladok.

I'm gonna have to take a pass.

- I've got a personal errand to run.
- Need any help?

Nope.

I'm going... shopping.

Have fun storming the castle.

What say thee, fair maiden?
Care to join me in an epic quest?

Oh, sorry.

I got a hot news tip. Gotta follow
up. But I'll catch up with you later.

Yeah, yeah. Nice, nice, nice.

News never sleeps.
News never sleeps.

I was off base on
R&R, eating at a café,

and I saw Major
Kramer in another booth,

arguing with this guy.

- About?
- I don't know.

But I heard him say, "Stick to the
plan and it'll all be over tomorrow."

It didn't sound like it
was anything good.

Now, that was a soldier
who served at Fort Dakota

at the same time that
Kramer was stationed there.

Did they recognize the person
that Kramer was arguing with?

A soldier named Adam Creyke.

This is the same man
who led her troops

into an ambush six years
ago that got them killed.

Now, Kramer never logged going
off base the night of this conversation,

which means this
was a secret meeting.

Hold on. Are you telling me that
Kramer knew about the ambush,

and maybe she
even helped plan it?

I don't know.

They never caught the bomber
and this evidence looks bad,

but my gut says that
something still doesn't add up.

I mean, look, Cecile.

I've looked Kramer in the
eye. I've watched her work.

Uh, we've had our differences,

but... I still feel
she's a good cop.

Joe, she's not
just a cop anymore.

She's the head of
the C.C.P.D. now.

Well, I might not
have a badge anymore,

but I'm gonna find out the truth
about Kristen Kramer once and for all.

Thanks, man.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I see you found someone to
play your dungeon game thing.

Oh, seriously?

I walked all the way
here and nobody told me,

including Marco, who
I literally just talked to.

Well, maybe if you let me rejoin
the campaign, I'd have your back,

like I did in the
Battle of Mo'Zoq.

Using fire spells in unarmed
combat is strictly prohibited, Marco.

You're not a new... He
knows the consequences.

Anyway.

I got your text. What's up?

So, you know that
message I got earlier?

Mmm-hmm.

I have been using The
Citizen tip line, but not for work.

I just got an anonymous tip that's
gonna help me find my cousin.

As in, Ultraviolet?

As in the Black
Hole meta-assassin

that tries to kill you
every time she sees you?

Her name's Esperanza,
and I get how it sounds.

Look, she's been
taking out targets.

First here in Metropolis,
then in Opal City.

I think her next
assassination is in Central City.

Chuck, if Team Flash
can get a jump on this...

- Flash isn't around.
- Exactly.

What would Barry do?

He'd find her and
get her to stand down.

I have to do the same.

Esperanza blames
me for abandoning her.

I have to make that right.

'Cause if I can get through to her,
maybe we can be a family again.

Listen to me. I
don't wanna fight.

Wait.

Stop.

I won't let you hurt my friends.

Fine.

Figures you're a part of this.

Well, I can't expect you to fail
on your missions all on your own.

Except for that
one time in Belize.

That was hilarious.

Are you freaking nuts?

I have seen Ultraviolet
melt the face off of someone

and laugh while doing it.

What made you think going
after her alone was a good idea?

Chuck and I were gonna bring in
the team, but Esperanza surprised us.

Side note, prayer
hands emoji for the save.

But how did you know
we were in trouble?

It's one of the
reasons I stuck around.

I heard chatter about an
ex-Black Hole assassin nearby.

Good thing I went hunting.

Speaking of, where
are the big guns?

Frost is radio silent and
Barry and Iris are off the grid.

So, for the rest of
today, this is Team Flash.

Well, that's reassuring.

I don't suppose

you've learned how to melt
someone's face off with your powers yet?

No. Okay, great.

Well, it's a good thing
just his wrist got hurt,

because we don't have nearly
enough muscle to handle this mission.

But I can still save Esperanza.

You want to save her?

Yeah. You know, like Barry
does with the bad guys.

I mean, not so much save
her, but redeem her, I guess.

Listen, I don't think we can
take on Ultraviolet by ourselves,

let alone change her overnight.

Uh...

I don't think we have a choice.

Look, Allegra said that
Ultraviolet is here to kill somebody.

That means there's
a life in danger.

Isn't saving people
Team Flash 101?

Chester's right.
We need to stop her.

Fine.

But family or not, she will try
to kill you if she gets the chance.

That's every location

Ultraviolet's been spotted
in in the last 48 hours,

but so far, no luck on
her current location.

What about the satellites?

Well, her energy
signature's based off of light,

which is like,
everywhere at all times,

so it's almost impossible to hone
in on her specific light signature.

This is where she's going.

It's a typical Black
Hole recon pattern.

Scope out the surrounding areas
while closing in on your target.

This is a downtown free clinic.

- Why go there to try to kill someone?
- I don't know.

But the bigger question
is, how do we stop her?

With this.

It's a photonic stun grenade.

Procuring it required
two trips to New Delhi,

a helicopter crash and a
very deadly quinceañera.

I'm gonna go make
sure this is fully charged.

I'll be back in ten,
we'll discuss the plan.

Be ready to go.

Yeah!

Time to put my badass face on.

Right. Yeah?

No?

Chuck, maybe you
better sit this one out.

Whoa!

What? I wanna help.

I know, but you're a
pacifist, and that's cool.

But this is gonna
be too dangerous.

We'll be back before
you know it, okay?

Stay away from me.

Not until you're dead.

Run.

Tell whoever hired you the
assassination is canceled.

You fools. I wasn't hired.

I'm hunting the
doctor that created me.

You just saved the man
that turned me into a monster.

That doctor.

Did he really used to
work for Black Hole?

Talk to us or talk to
C.C.P.D. The choice is yours.

Although I hear their cells
are much less comfortable.

Do you know how
I got this little gift?

I remember seeing
white light everywhere.

Blinding me while
I was held down.

I was helpless.

Then I felt a
scalpel slice into me.

I fought back, but
I was tied down.

All I could do was scream...

until they cut my
voice out of me.

I'm so sorry.

- I didn't know.
- Where's Dr. Olsen?

We...

don't know.

He must pay.

He is still out there.

Turning new lab rats into
weapons for the highest bidder.

Abducting victims who won't
be missed when they disappear.

Like me.

I never meant
for this to happen.

- I swear.
- You abandoned me, cousin.

Left me alone for
Dr. Olsen to find.

We'll help you
get him. I promise.

Ah...

Sidebar, please.

You want to join her now?

This Olsen guy needs to be
stopped before he hurts anyone else.

And Esperanza's the only one
who's had any luck tracking him down.

Okay. We cannot trust her.

Black Hole has twisted her mind
in ways that you can't even imagine.

There's no coming
back from that.

- You can't be sure.
- Yes, I can.

Working with her
is a suicide mission.

You need to know that.

I know what Barry would do.

I say we go after
this doctor together.

You in, prima?

Come in.

Well, this is a surprise.

We need to talk, Captain.

Interim Captain.

And since you're no longer a cop,
what exactly do we have to discuss?

Where did you get this?

That's not important.

What matters is, I could have
gone to Chief Singh with it,

but I chose to
come to you first,

because deep down, I believe you
are doing your best to be a good cop.

Which means I should
listen to your side of the story.

- Get out.
- Excuse me?

I take your job, now
you take me down?

So you dig up some crap you can
twist for your personal vendetta?

- I...
- Enough.

You try a stunt
like this again...

and I will arrest you myself.

For your own good,
move on, West.

Find a new hobby and
get the hell out of my office.

Now, generate a single blast

that destroys your target.

And focus.

If we're going to face
Dr. Olsen together,

you need to learn how to fight.

Try harder.

I'm doing the best I can.

It's not good enough.

You still think you
can change her?

She's got this crazy idea that
you're not a total lost cause.

Noble, but dumb.

Just stay out of this.

You think you know your cousin?

I know the real Ultraviolet.

Let me show you.

Yo, yo, yo, who's
ready for a snack attack?

Chuck!

He's still breathing.

You could have killed him!

So? He's useless.

As are you.

I'll finish this on my own.

You don't know
how lucky you were.

One foot to the right and you would
have a giant hole charred in your chest.

Roger that.

But, hey, I'm good.

Yeah, no. It probably
just looks worse than it is.

Hey, no. The Runk
Man's ready for action...

No, no, no. The Runk
Man needs to stay here.

I'll get you some
naproxen for the pain.

Doctor's orders.

Chuck, this is all my fault.

No, no. It's not that bad.

Where's your cousin?
Did she really leave?

Yup. And good riddance.

Shouldn't we go after her?

I don't know.

Runk! She is still
not thinking straight.

You've gotta help me
talk some sense into her.

- Why me?
- She likes you. She'll listen.

I mean, yeah,
we're friends and all,

but I really don't think
I can change her mind.

Not on this.

Okay, fine. Then
I will do it myself.

She's got to realize that sharing
a back alley yin-yang tattoo

with someone doesn't
mean you're bonded forever.

Yin-yang tattoo?

Great Rao...

Arrest you?

Are you sure Kramer's serious?

You should've seen her, Cecile.

It was like how a
guilty person reacts.

So she really did
have something to do

with getting her own
troops killed. My God!

If this is true, I have to go
straight to the governor's office.

It's that big.

Babe, C.C.P.D. was
like my second home.

I trained most of the officers
there. They're like my family.

Now I can't help but wonder
who did I leave my kids with?

That's not on you.

I put my badge down, Kramer
picked it up. It's all on me.

It's Kramer.

She wants to meet up.

Joe, no. She might be
baiting you into a trap.

- You can't go.
- I know.

But, babe, I can't help but feel
there's something more to this.

What am I supposed to do?

You are a good man, Joe West.

You forget everything
that's in that folder.

Your heart's always been
your best compass, right?

So trust it.

Trust your heart. It'll
show you what's right.

It was a good try.

But Ultraviolet is
never going to change.

You need to give up before you
get yourself or someone else killed.

I can't just abandon
her. She's my family.

Yeah, I get that.

No, you don't.

You grew up in some
mansion with two loving parents,

but for most of my life, it
was just Esperanza and me.

She's more than just my cousin.

She's the reason I survived
long enough to be here.

I have to save her.

Some people are
too far gone to save.

Even if they're your family.

How can you say that?

You fought Black Hole
to save your parents.

That is not the same thing.

Why not?

Why is your family good
enough to save but mine isn't?

Because I didn't save them.

By the time I got my parents out
of Black Hole, it was way too late.

The people that
raised me were gone.

Carver put my parents in charge
of all international accounts.

He gave them 10%

as long as they kept all of
Black Hole's overseas assets

hidden from the US government.

Carver bought my
parents' loyalty for billions.

And once they got a
taste, they needed more.

What happened once
Carver was gone?

My parents were in too deep.

And worse, they got
used to this lifestyle.

And no matter how hard I
tried, I could not pull them out.

Because they didn't want out.

Which is why you have to
pull with everything you have.

When I first met Team
Flash, it was in handcuffs.

When they first met you,
you were robbing a bank.

We didn't want help, either.

But this team
never gave up on us.

So thanks for the reminder.

You want to bail, I understand.

But I'm gonna go find my cousin.

- What the...
- Your tattoo!

It's a yin-yang symbol.

Two sides that make a whole.

Opposite, but the same.

Okay, sorry, look.

I know how to track Ultraviolet.

We couldn't track Ultraviolet's
unique light signature

because there's too much interference
from other light sources in the city.

But you and Ultraviolet
have the same powers.

So if we use you
as an input signal,

satellites will search
for its counterpart signal.

Aka the yin to your
yang... Ultraviolet.

Just focus your energies here.

Get your shine on.

- It worked.
- What?

- We found her.
- What?

- Oh, my arm.
- Sorry.

It's okay. It's okay. I'm okay.

Looks like she's in a run-down warehouse
that's wired for tons of shady tech.

It's got to be Olsen's hideout.

- Okay, we better hurry. Come on.
- No, no.

I almost got you
killed once already.

Esperanza's my problem.
I need to do this alone.

Look, I know I can't do
the fighting like you guys,

but I can still help my friends.

You've done more than enough.

- I can't risk...
- Allegra...

I'm not taking no for
an answer, not again.

My favorite patient.

Ha!

You surprised me earlier.

So happy to return the favor.

Dr. Olsen.

Ready to die?

That depends.

Are you ready... for
one last experiment?

Okay, Allegra, I'm set.

Operation "Find your cuz and
convince her to come home" is a go.

Okay.

I'm reading her light
signature in a level below you.

Getting to her is
gonna be the tricky part.

I've got company.

Oh, I got just the thing for
those electro-pulse rifles.

Hold on to your volts.

That is one EMP, courtesy of...

Chester P.

Okay.

I'm heading down there.

Uh, wait, hold on.

Those guys got backup.

Uh...

Another EMP would
be great right about now.

The mobile unit doesn't have
enough juice for another pulse.

Go find your cousin. I got this.

Don't worry,
boys. I'll go slowly.

Esperanza.

You need to come with me now.

We don't have time for any...

She isn't the one who's
run out of time, my dear.

What did you do to her?

I made her into a
weapon... without a voice.

And these hands are the only
ones that can return what was taken.

So, we made a deal.

I'll give your cousin
her voice back...

if she kills everyone who
knows the true nature of my work.

You and your team.

Sue, Allegra needs backup.

Yeah, I know the feeling.

Lights out, boys.

He's lying to you,
prima. Listen to me.

I'm your family. We're blood.

Blood is a liquid
easily spilled.

Power is eternal...
and money provides it.

So now that Joseph
Carver is dead,

I work for the highest bidder,

and I don't plan on going
out of business anytime soon.

End her, and get
your voice back.

Please... Please, don't...

Don't do this.

Fighting back is useless, child.

You'll never be
stronger than her.

Hate fuels your light power.

Not for me.

Yes!

You okay?

We're good.

Is she gonna be okay?

She'll be fine.
She's just resting.

And if anyone can recover from a massive
dose of light-based energy, it's her.

About the whole supernova
thing I did back there...

- is that gonna happen again?
- Maybe.

It's common for meta-powers
to reach new heights

during times of extreme stress.

You just leveled up, Allegra.

You did well out
there, you know.

Not sure the boss would agree.

I organized a rogue mission
while Barry was gone.

I almost got Sue
and Chuck killed.

But you followed your heart.

And that's what Barry
would have done.

And Dr. Olsen's
in jail now, too.

And...

there's this.

Hey.

So, uh, Caitlin ran some tests.

She says you're gonna be okay.

Sorry I had to... You know.

How did you... do that?

I don't know.

Dr. Olsen said our powers
are fueled by hate, but...

I thought about something else.

Family.

After everything I've done...

you still call me that?

Always.

What they did to you isn't
who you are, Esperanza.

You're more than
that. You know that.

And I do, too.

There's something else.

We recovered
these from Dr. Olsen.

They're the files on
what he did to you.

Point is, Caitlin thinks
she can use them.

To do what?

Cure you... permanently.

Thanks for meeting me so late.

After how I behaved, I
wasn't sure you would.

I'm sure you had a reason.

Like... probably the same
reason you had me meet here.

Well, figured I did enough damage
to C.C.P.D. morale for one day.

Look, West.

Earlier today, I
was... unprofessional.

And you were right
to be suspicious.

I mean, all the
evidence looks that way.

But that's not the
whole story, is it?

The soldier who
betrayed your unit.

His name is Adam Creyke.

He's also my brother.

Not by blood.

But some bonds run deeper.

As two Native kids
growing up off the rez,

we weren't exactly
popular in our community.

But we were still
a part of it, so...

we kept in touch in our own way.

But that's how
Adam and I bonded.

We didn't have
a lot of support...

but at least we had each other.

Anyway, you were right about us
arguing the night before about the mission.

But I didn't know that
he had sold out our unit.

Adam was trying to convince
me not to go on the mission.

Said he had a
bad feeling about it.

Mmm.

He was trying to protect you,

and you blame
yourself for not realizing.

I was in charge of those lives.

It was my job to get them
home to their families.

A dozen dinner tables
have empty chairs right now

because I didn't see the clues.

I was too blind and stupid.

Believing in somebody you
love is nothing to be ashamed of.

Take it.

Maybe someday you'll trust
someone enough to share it.

Why do you think
I asked you here?

I've been looking for Adam
for six years on my own.

Help me catch him.

All right.

So where are you headed
to next? Some exotic locale?

Actually, I'm thinking
about sticking around.

Maybe even talking
to my parents.

Yeah.

I guess you could say
I'm finally seeing the light.

Ciao for now.

Well, I guess we officially
survived our unsurvivable mission.

Barely.

Thanks for having
my back, Chuck.

I literally couldn't have
done this without you.

It was nothing.

But we do make
a pretty good team.

Hey, do you want to get
a coffee or something?

- Anywhere but Jitters.
- Yeah.

I'd love to, but I kind of set
up a D&D game for tonight.

So, another time?

Sure.

Or maybe I could join you.

For real? Like, you'd like to...

Uh-huh.

- With me?
- Yeah.

- Is that a problem?
- No, no, no.

It's amazing.

Just unexpected. But
in a great way, I mean.

It's... Am I making this weird?

Yeah. No. I don't know.

- It's just a game.
- Exactly.

Yeah, with coffee.

- Whole lot of coffee.
- Yeah. Lead the way.

Hey!

- Oh-ho! Looking refreshed, man.
- Thanks.

Yeah. How was your trip?

Amazing. It was great.

Iris and I...

Uh.

Iris and I are thinking about
getting a time share, actually.

What happened today?

Erm...

- Nothing.
- Nothing.

Oh!

Snowflake.

It's great to see you.

Of course,

while I love a show of force
as much as the next guy...

I gave you my cell.

You do know there's a difference between
reaching out and, like, punching, right?

Shut up.

When Norvok told me you broke
out of Iron Heights, I couldn't believe it.

And yet, here we are.

Come on. I'm taking
you back... again.

Mmm-mmm.

Looks like somebody
hasn't heard the news.

Ta-da! I cut a deal.

My record is expunged.

Now I'm just like you.

One of the good guys.
