This guy says he saw DeVoe on 5th and Knoll
- two days ago. - Yeah.
This means DeVoe can't hide from us anymore.
The injection of dark matter from the thinking cap,
which overwhelmed my synapses.
The more I try to use my brain,
the sooner I'm going to lose it.
DeVoe plans to position each
of his five satellites around the globe.
And when the satellite link up...
He'll use that network to emit a series of dark matter bursts.
It will reboot the pre-frontal cortex
of every man, woman, and child on this earth.
We know we need a tech-free projectile
to stop DeVoe's satellites.
We've been looking for an object
when what we really need is a person...
Amunet.
It will deliver one savage concussive blow.
But you only get one shot.
Initially we set out to enlighten the world.
Now you want to rule it. I am leaving you, Clifford.

Okay we've got eyes on Cape Canaveral,
Space X, and the Xichang Space Center.
And Blackhawk Island.
That's every launch pad south of the 39th parallel.
Good man.
Okay, are we sure that DeVoe is gonna
launch the machine from an airfield?
If he's shooting five satellites
into synchronous orbit, that's the latitude he needs.
And whether or not he's still moping around
about his wife ditching him, he's gonna resurface.
And he's gonna do it soon.
When he does, I whoosh. You whoosh.
She bangs.
If I can get there in time.
I mean, I'm still not fast enough
to make it to DeVoe's pocket dimension.
That's why we split up. Yeah.
Each one of us stakes out a different launch pad.
You're serious?
I mean you've seen DeVoe in action.
Yeah, the guy's a one man Legion of Doom.
So send the Super Friends.
Okay, but we're not at full super strength right now.
I mean Joe's got the baby on the way
and Caitlin's looking for Killer Frost.

I mean, people have been writing in from all over
sharing their theories and reporting DeVoe sightings.
- And Marlize sightings? - Yeah.
I've been trying to track her down for days.
I know Harry thinks that they split up,
but she's still just as dangerous as DeVoe.
Right, so wh... why would we send citizens after her?
I'm all for telling people the truth, but...
Yeah, I mean after I convinced you.
Yeah, I just... I don't know.
I don't know if it's the best idea

Borman's body's gone critical already.
We can't save him.
If that chamber hits 100k,
it'll start generating nuclear fusion.
- Like core of the sun fusion. - Infinite fuel.
He's using Borman's body as a battery.
That's the last piece of the Machine.
Wait. A battery?
Borman's containment cell is 10 feet tall.
And DeVoe has the power to shrink it down.
He'll charge the satellites.
All he'll have to do is launch 'em.
How long do we have?
At this rate of fusion, we have...
12 hours until the Enlightenment begins.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Okay, Dig's back in Star City.
Now, I'm going after DeVoe.
Don't go storming the Castle just yet.
You're looking at motion- activated electro-shock plates
that A.R.G.U.S. installed in the facility.
70,000 volts? You hit one of those,
you'll be knocked out for sure.
So I'll avoid them when I go in.
Okay. Genius idea,
if their placement didn't randomize every couple hours.
So DeVoe's basically charging his battery for 12 hours,
completely protected by A.R.G.U.S. defenses.
And then he'll probably just jump into a pocket dimension,
and he's out of there.
What if I don't avoid the plates?
What if I hit 'em? All of 'em.
I'm serious. I mean, if I go into Flash Time,
I could use each plate's electric current
as a fuel source. Then I'd be fast enough
to follow DeVoe into his pocket dimension.
You would get a serious boost.
Again, another genius idea,
if hitting the plates didn't cause an electrical explosion.
Yeah, but I'd be through the pocket dimension
before the blast wave,
ready to blow up the satellite on the other side.
[ELECTRONIC BEEPING]
Satellite results came in.
Okay.
Oh, frell me.
What? What is it?
We got six plates
and six heat signatures above them.
There are A.R.G.U.S. agents still alive in there.
He has hostages.
You can outrun an electrical explosion.
They can't.
How's he keeping them suspended like that?
I think I know how.
Do you know what my favorite thing

Dude! Dude?
Where is she?
Where is...?
Ahh, where is she? I don't see her.
No, Harry, I... I'm talking about tracking down Marlize.
If DeVoe has popped back up then she might too.
And we need to put her erin the Pipelie
before she causes any trouble.
- How are you tracking her? - Well, my readers
have sent in hundreds of tips.
Plus there's facial recognition
- and credit card checks... - Facts.
- Right. - Wrong.
- What? - You're looking at facts
when you should be focusing on feelings.
You remember the Council of Harrisons?
- I do. - Handsome but annoying.
Well, they kind of taught me that if you wanna...
if you wanna follow DeVoe's actions
you gotta focus on DeVoe's motives.
Which is basically DeVoe's feelings,
and so feelings, if you're Marlize DeVoe...
Where are you gonna feel safe?
So if I dig into her past,
maybe I can figure out where she is now.
Harry, that's really helpful. Thank you.
Thank you, Iris West, for saying that, I...
I-I don't feel helpful that much anymore.
So thanks.
Hey, um...
Are you busy, Harry? Me?
Yeah, you.
Would you maybe wanna help me investigate?
- Yes. - Okay, cool.
[CHUCKLES]
- When... - We're gonna... Right now.
Hey. Did you guys send an alert?
We did. We think we've figured out
how to stop DeVoe and save the hostages.
What... what is it?
Us.
You bring us into Flash Time with you.
Look guys, that's great, you know,
you want to help, but we can't split up in A.R.G.U.S.
if I'm holding onto you the whole time.
Well, survey says...
you don't have to.
Have you guys been researching me?
At first we thought you were vibrating our molecules
when we were in Flash Time, but that didn't
explain why we were conscious.
Which gave us this brain blast.
When you run, you don't just tap into the Speed Force.
You generate Speed Force around you.
It's like you're creating lightning
to protect you from the friction
Like an aura.
So when I bring you into Flash Time
I'm actually extending my Speed Force aura to you.
And what if physical touch just focuses those powers?
I could let go. Share my speed.
We'd only be able to last a few moments
before we burnt out.
Like 55 milliseconds of real time.
And thanks to relativity,
that gives us just enough time to rescue the hostages
while you chase DeVoe down the rabbit hole.
Guys, I mean...
you know everything looks normal to me
when I'm in Flash Time, but it took me months
to learn how to operate like that.
Exactly.
That's what makes you the perfect candidate for training.

If you were nine months pregnant

The hormone?
As we get closer to your due date,
your body releases relaxin to loosen the ligaments
to make it easier to deliver the baby.
It's like you're literally stretching.
So you think this hormone is stretching her meta powers?
Yes, I think instead of just reading people's minds,
she's now inhabiting them.
Great. That's great. I mean that's just
one more thing for me to talk about in therapy.
I mean can you believe what Dr. Finkel said this morning?

I don't need another therapist.
Look we all lost somebody, okay.
But that never gives us an excuse
to shut each other out. I said drop it, all right?
You think you're the only one who feels bad
- about Ralph dying? - Guys...
You know he came to see me at Iron Heights?
He told me he was afraid. He warned me he wasn't ready.
But I pushed him anyway. I said go back out there
and do my job. My burden.
We made the bus metas.
We gave Ralph his powers.
You wanna talk about burdens. I started this.
I shot that bazooka. I opened up the Speed Force,
and I didn't do it so you can stand here
and tell me you're going to save the world alone again.
I... I know that.
And I know we're running out of time and...
I can't do this by myself, but...
Everybody I've tried to teach has ended up worse
than when I found them.
And what about Ralph?
Was he worse?
You taught him that when his back
was against the wall and the world was ending
around him he could always make the choice.
Make the choice to be a hero.
We deserve that same choice.
All we need is someone to show us how.
You guys really want to do this?
It's not a burden if we shoulder it together.

Do I have to call it an ice shooter?
I thought Frostbite sounded good.
Guys, it solves the friction offset problem
by shooting ice, therefore it's an ice shooter.
- You call it an ice shooter. - Relax.
It's just not that hard.
DeVoe must be shrinking Borman's chamber.
We can do this.

[EXHALES] We did it.
"Once upon a time in some remote corner
of that universe, there was a star
upon which clever beasts invented knowing."
You're quoting Nietzsche at me?
You destroyed a satellite.
Top marks, quick boy.
You can destroy a thousand more and you will still
march closer to the Enlightenment.
I forget what Nietzsche said about wiping minds.
I must have skipped Philosophy class...
Did I teach you nothing this year?
Has nothing pierced you thick cowl?
Think of it?
Or rather don't. You'll just end up
hurting yourself, so let me explain.
A world enlightened.
Within a day, all soldiers will lay down their arms.
Every nuclear weapon will be disarmed
within six months.
Poverty, famine, disease... Eradicated.
We will clean up the streets.
People will put down their idiot phones
and become curious again,
and I will be there to teach them.
I... not you...
Will save this godforsaken world.
No, you'll just control it.
You want to take away free will.
A pittance for humanity to pay
to know peace.
But we wouldn't know each other.
Parents wouldn't remember their kids.
Husbands wouldn't remember their wives.
Good. You hit upon
precisely the point.
Emotion is the father of all error.
Chemicals in our brain that distract us,
impede progress.
And the most destructive and ridiculous imbalance
of all is that thing you feebles call love.
I learned this from experience, Mr. Allen.
And soon... you will too.
What happened in there?
All that matters is that you're all safe.
- But DeVoe? Where's DeVoe? - Hey.
Hey, don't worry.
- Flash is on it. - Thank you.
What's wrong?
I need your help.
Back when we were training,
I had this fragment of a memory.
I think it's something that I've been repressing
for a long time. I don't remember much,
just that I was young and I was terrified.
Caitlin, are you sure you want me to vibe you there?
I mean, maybe your brain kept this memory
under lock and key for a reason.
I need to know what it was.
I can handle it.
Then focus on it and hang on.
Caity!
Oh, no! Caity!
Caity, are you okay?
Stay still! We're gonna get you help!
That's me. Right there.
Caity... honey, don't!

She was part of you even then.
The particle accelerator hadn't exploded.
How is that possible?
Empty.
But this is their first place together.
She would come here. I can feel it.
The pot's still warm.
That means...
- We can have tea. - No!
- Marlize! - Iris, she's not here.
- Come out. - Iris.
It's rude to breach into a person's home uninvited.
And dangerous when that person is holding
a grudge and a katana.
Why are you here?
I got this.
We're here, Marlize...
we're here because you...
because...
Wait, uh, you...
You have... You... you've...
- I can't. I can't. - He can't verbalize it.
Not anymore. Just like we hypothesized
but never observed before.
You're experiencing the penultimate stages
of the Enlightenment.
You mind is being rebooted.
Soon you will be without memories,
without relationships.
Just a blank slate so that Clifford
may re-educate you.
Soon we'll all be just like you.
Marlize, we have to stop him.
Your husband has gone too far, and I think you know it,
or you'd be with him right now.
Yes, I left my husband.
But that doesn't change the fact
that he's right.
If anything, his betrayal proves his very point.
Man corrupts even the best of ideas.
Pessimism...
isn't smarter than optimism.
In this life the bravest thing you can be
is optimistic.
Familiar words.
You said them when you were at Oxford.
Two weeks before you met Clifford DeVoe.
I gave a speech
on technology and the elimination of world hunger.
I truly believed it could be done.
He tried to change you, Marlize.
But I think deep down, you are still an optimist.
You still believe in humanity.
And I believe in you.
You asked me what I was willing to do
for my husband.
And now I'm gonna ask you.
What are you willing to do for the world?
[INTENSE MUSIC]
Barry shot down one of his satellites.
He did...
DeVoe didn't seem to care.
I'll try and see if I can track it.
[ALARMS BLARING]
I don't like that sound.
This says a Star Lab satellite's been activated.
- It's DeVoe. - He's using our satellite
to replace the one you destroyed.
Well, can you stop him?

He's here.
Hello, professor DeVoe.
No, no, no.
Come on.
