The Flash (2014–…): Season 8, Episode 14 - Funeral for a Friend - full transcript
Team Flash uses the distraction of a bank robbing Meta to detract from the grief of losing someone they love.

Well, hello, officers.
♪
♪
- Now, that was fun.
♪
- I am so not
in the mood for this.
All right, big guy.
I'm gonna give you one chance
to stand down.
- I'll give youone chance
to beat it.
- Chester, what's he wearing?
Chester?
- Sorry.
Just give me a second to, um...
okay, okay, I got it.
The armor
matches the description
of an exo-suit
stolen from Ivo Labs.
It's charged by amplifying
the wearer's biochemistry,
so everything
from his movements
to even his emotions...
- Are fuel
that makes him stronger.
- You should've run away
when you had the chance, Flash.
Now this has to happen!
- There's a lot of people
in there.
- Okay Flash,
he just compromised
two steel girders
in that substructure.
That building's
gonna collapse.
- Allegra, Cecile,
I'm gonna use my lightning
to weld those girders
back together.
Take this guy down.
- Okay, let's do
a classic corral and contain.
Allegra, charge up
and hit him with a UV burst.
- Hey, Snow Pants!
Over here.
- And then Frost,
you swoop in to...
♪
- Allegra!
- The blast knocked her out.
But she's still breathing.
- Guys, I'm... I am so sorry...
- Chester,
I need you to focus.
You gotta help me figure out
how I'm gonna stop this guy.
- Your friend
should learn how to aim.
- If you can try
to calm his emotions,
that could de-power the suit.
- You trying
to mess with my head?
- What just happened?
- It's all of my grief
from Frost...
and all the panic
inside the building.
I can't take it!
It's overloading me!
I can't use my powers!
- Pathetic. Worst heroes ever.
♪
Okay, okay.
- You guys okay?
- Yeah.
- Chester, where'd he go?
- I don't know.
He just vanished.
♪
♪
♪
CCC tip line still has
nothing on Mark Desmond,
AKA Blockbuster.
- Keep digging, please.
Chester says his suit
has some kind of cloaking tech
we can't track, which means
we're not gonna see him again.
Until he attacks.
- And when he does...
♪
- Iris, we can't go
back out there like this.
I mean, we should have
easily stopped Desmond,
but Allegra and Cecile
were almost killed.
- We're all still
pretty messed up about Frost.
I think with any normal job,
we would take time off
to grieve.
But with Team Flash...
- This isn't a normal job.
Iris, how am I supposed
to tell people
who just lost a family member
they need to find
a way to mourn
and still get the job done?
- I don't know.
♪
But if there's anyone
who can find the right words
to inspire us right now,
it's you.
♪
- Thanks for taking the time
for this meeting, guys.
- Yeah, we realize it's a crazy
time with everything going on.
- Of course. Yeah, we...
we need to be together,
now more than ever.
- Speaking of, where's Caitlin?
- I didn't want to bother her.
I think she's preparing
for the funeral tomorrow.
- Maybe we should do
the same thing.
Look, while your satellite
is looking for Desmond,
Kramer put out an APB,
and she's got a unit placed
at every bank in town.
Luckily, we have
the time to take a break.
- In a perfect world,
it'd be great
to take some time off.
God knows we all need it,
but at any moment,
we could face something worse.
And whether we like it or not,
we're this city's
first line of defense.
We all saw
what happened out there.
If it had been
Bloodwork or Despero?
Frost is gone.
And we all need to mourn her,
but we also need to find
a way to protect this city.
- Didn't realize we were
having a team meeting.
♪
- We figured you might need
some alone time.
- It's fine.
I haven't been sleeping
very much,
so I could use the distraction.
- Are you sure? I mean, I know
you must be dealing with a lot.
And I know how hard it can be
to organize a funeral.
- Actually, my mom is
handling all the arrangements.
- Okay. I mean,
if that's what you want,
but we're all happy
to pitch in...
- Like I said,
my mom's got it covered.
But if you've got
a problem with that,
feel free to give her a call,
offer your help.
'Cause I'm not going
to any damn funeral.
- Caitlin...
- Bar.
- Give her some space.
- Dad, she's hurting.
- Baby girl, I know.
- We all are.
♪
But like Barry said...
we just lost a family member,
and that pain will keep us
from protecting those in need.
It will cloud everything we do
until we face it and heal.
- Yeah, but how are we
supposed to do that?
- By honoring Frost.
Look, I just...
took watercolor classes
at the community center
because Frost made me promise
that I would try
to express myself through art.
And I got to admit,
when I saw the first canvas...
♪
I felt Frost
smiling down on me.
♪
And we all have to find
our own ways to honor her,
'cause it is the only way
we are going to heal
as a family.
♪
- There's still zero hits on
the tip line about Blockbuster.
It's already tough
knowing that people almost died
because we weren't ready
to face him,
but knowing that he could
reappear at any moment,
it makes what we're going
through that much harder.
- I know.
Which reminds me,
I think I've decided how
I'm gonna take Joe's advice
and honor Frost.
After her court battle
last year,
wrongly imprisoned metas,
that became a cause
really close to her heart.
So effective immediately,
I'm gonna dedicate 25% of
my caseload to pro bono work
in her honor.
- Frost would love that.
- Yeah?
- I'm gonna write a special
obituary for her on CCC.
- That's a great idea.
- Yeah, but every time
I sit down to write it,
I can't,
because...
I mean, to write about her
in any meaningful way,
like how she died
saving her sister, I...
You risk exposing yourself
- as a member of Team Flash.
- Yeah.
But this is my job,
so why can't I push through?
♪
Hey, Aariz.
When you interviewed last year,
you mentioned
writing obits once?
- For "Stars and Stripes."
When I was on active duty
with the Army in Afghanistan,
sometimes I'd help write obits
for soldiers who died
on classified missions
or had no family.
If I wasn't privy
to all the details,
I'd find other ways
to honor their memory.
- That's amazing.
Do you think that you
could take over Frost's obit
for tonight's headline?
- I always admired
how she handled those
ridiculous charges against her.
I could have it ready
in, say, an hour?
- Yeah, that would be great.
- Thank you.
- You got it.
Hey, Iris.
Honey, are you sure you want
to hand over something
so personal to somebody
who never even met Frost?
- Well, I think
an objective point of view
is exactly what I'm missing.
♪
So does it do her justice?
- Well...
- You think Aariz
did a terrible job?
- It's well written
and factually accurate,
but it feels cold.
Like it was written by someone
who didn't know Frost.
But that's not why
I wanted to talk.
I could have read this
over email.
I wanted to see
how you're doing.
♪
- I feel the same way.
♪
Iris,
why didn't you write this?
I mean, you've known Frost
longer than I have.
- I guess at first,
I felt like if I...
wrote it,
I wouldn't be able to say
everything
that I wanted to say.
But the more I think about it,
the more I realize that...
I don't know what to say.
♪
Carla, I may have known Frost
longer, but I didn't...
get to know her.
- And now you're angry at
yourself for lost opportunities
because you thought you had
all the time in the world.
♪
I felt the same way,
being estranged
from Caitlin for so long,
and then I almost
made the same mistake
when Frost came around, but...
Luckily for me,
she didn't let me.
♪
And in the end,
I got to know her just a bit.
And I'm... I'm better for it.
♪
- So what do I do now?
- Well, here's
one thing I do know.
Frost wouldn't care about some
obituary that sung her praises.
She didn't give a damn
what people thought.
She just wanted
to protect them.
- That was her legacy.
Yeah.
Thank you, Carla.
♪
- I think I know what to do now.
- Okay.
♪
- Thanks.
- I'll see you tomorrow.
- Yeah.
♪
Oh, excuse me.
Could I get that iced drink?
- The "Frost"?
- Sure.
But it's actually called
"Killer Frost."
♪
- Well, it shouldn't be.
Never mind. Thanks.

♪
- Welcome to "Citizentopia,"
where you,
the citizens of Central City,
share your stories.
I am here today
to talk about a fallen hero,
someone who
was often misunderstood,
a woman that you all know as...
Killer Frost.
But to the people
who really knew her,
she was no killer.
Frost saved lives,
and she changed them
for the better,
and I'm here with two people
who are proof of that.
Kamiko, Jamal,
thank you for joining us.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- Sure.
- Thanks for having us.
- So I understand
that you both had
a unique encounter with Frost?
- It was during
Bloodwork's attack on the city,
and we were in the subway.
It was just completely
overrun by his Blood Brothers.
- I was so scared.
- We all were.
It was a bunch
of strangers trapped
while those things
picked us off one by one.
- Until Frost showed up.
- Seeing her courage
in court...
I knew I was
on the wrong side of the bench.
So when she was released,
I reached out,
asking for forgiveness.
- And she caught me
right in the middle of it.
But she didn't turn me in.
- It was amazing.
Frost froze
those Blood Brothers
and helped us escape.
We owe her our lives.
- And what did Frost say?
- That I did my job...
but maybe
I should get a better one.
Man, I was a tagger.
If it wasn't for Frost,
I'd be in jail right now.
Instead, I got my first
gallery exhibit next week.
- So the next day,
I quit
the state prosecutor's office.
Now I'm defending metas
in Star City.
If it wasn't for Frost, we...
We would have
never gotten married.
♪
- So wherever you are,
Frost...
thank you.
♪
- There must be
one perfect thing to do
- to honor Frost.
- Just because Joe
handed out
some greeting card advice
doesn't mean it's
the right thing to do.
- I don't know.
- Sounded pretty on point to me.
- How can one thing honor
someone as amazing as Frost?
- Barry told us about
the eternal flame
for Oliver Queen.
What if we made, like,
a...Frost-ified version?
Yeah, yeah, like
if I took her superhero costume
and I put it in a glass case
with cryo-coolers
so that it could create
a self-sustained blizzard?
So it'd stay frozen forever.
- You mean a snow globe?
- You know, it'd help if...
I wasn't the only one
coming up with good ideas.
- Passive-aggressive much?
- No, no. Not passive.
Passive-aggressive
is getting Hershfield's
to put hummus
on our sandwiches.
- Oh, wow.
I didn't see you getting
butthurt over a sandwich
on my bingo card today.
- Also, you love hummus.
- I do, I do.
Hummus is wonderful,
but it's not a condiment.
Ketchup is a condiment.
Mustard? Also a condiment.
Hummus is like a side dish.
No, no. Hummus is a dip.
- Easy, condiment king.
I don't need you
Runksplaining hummus to me!
- Well, I don't need you being
so cavalier
with our sandwiches.

bringing you lunch ever again.

Killer Frost.

thank you for joining us.
- Hello.
- Hi.

- So I understand
that you both had
a unique encounter with Frost?
- It was during
Bloodwork's attack on the city,
and we were in the subway.
It was just completely
overrun by his Blood Brothers.
- I was so scared.
- We all were.
It was a bunch
of strangers trapped
while those things
picked us off one by one.
- Until Frost showed up.
- Seeing her courage
in court...
I knew I was
on the wrong side of the bench.
So when she was released,
I reached out,
asking for forgiveness.
- And she caught me
right in the middle of it.
But she didn't turn me in.
- It was amazing.
Frost froze
those Blood Brothers
and helped us escape.
We owe her our lives.
- And what did Frost say?
- That I did my job...
but maybe
I should get a better one.
Man, I was a tagger.
If it wasn't for Frost,
I'd be in jail right now.
Instead, I got my first
gallery exhibit next week.
