Quotes 

• Cecile Horton : Captain Singh, you stated that you interviewed Barry Allen five years ago for the job of CSI. I wonder, what was your first impression of him?

  Captain David Singh : He was young. Had half the experience of everyone else I interviewed.

  Cecile Horton : Hmm. Why'd you hire him?

  Captain David Singh : It was really something he said in the interview. Everyone always talks about going after the criminal, the guilty. But Allen said he wanted to help the victims. The innocents. I thought Central City deserved someone like that. Allen is one of the good ones.

• Joe West : What happened here?

  Captain David Singh : Well, vintage Central City. Meaning another weird one. No data breach, nothing stolen. Everyone just collapsed. I have officers at the hospital interviewing people now, but so far, no one knows anything.

• Anton Slater : Would you cover for Mr. Allen if you had to?

  Captain David Singh : No, of course not.

  Anton Slater : No. It says here in his personnel file that he took a six-month sabbatical to the Czech Republic. Did he get approval from you first?

  Captain David Singh : Not exactly. He said it was for something personal; I'm sure he had a good reason to go.

  Iris West-Allen : [quietly, to herself]  Is saving the world a good reason?

  Anton Slater : It also says in here that he was late seventy-two times in the past two years. Did you ever ask him why?

  Captain David Singh : No, because regardless of what time he got in, he always did his job.

  Anton Slater : I was just curious to imagine what he does with his time instead of being at work. It's almost like he has this secret life. So in spite of all these infractions, you never thought to discipline him?

  Captain David Singh : What are you suggesting?

  Anton Slater : That whether you realized it or not, you've been covering the ugly truth about Mr. Allen for years now.

  Captain David Singh : That is not true.

  Anton Slater : Is it true that he was targeting and harassing Mr. DeVoe? Yes or no?

  Captain David Singh : Yes, which is why I granted DeVoe the restraining order and told Allen to stay away.

• [two parallel conversations in counterpoint] 

  Judge Hankerson : In my thirty years behind this bench, I have seen my share of criminals. But I confess this defendant stands apart.

  Captain David Singh : Thank you all for coming on such short notice. A few hours ago, the very existence of our city came under the threat of nuclear destruction. But one man rose to meet that challenge.

  Judge Hankerson : The defendant was in a position of authority. Our city trusted him to bring the guilty to justice.

  Captain David Singh : He ran into danger, knowing he would suffer burns all over his body.

  Judge Hankerson : He used that trust to take an innocent and vulnerable life.

  Captain David Singh : This man was not thinking about himself. He was thinking about you. The first responders on the front lines.

  Judge Hankerson : Never have I seen a defendant more unmoved.

  Captain David Singh : Never have I seen a man with more bravery.

  Judge Hankerson : Never have I seen such inhumanity.

  Captain David Singh : Such heroism.

  Judge Hankerson : Such a lack of regard for human life.

  Captain David Singh : It is my great honor to present Central City Police Department's Award of Valor to this city's finest hero. The fastest man alive, the Flash!

  Judge Hankerson : The court hereby orders that Bartholomew Henry Allen should be incarcerated for the rest of his natural life without the possibility of parole, and that Mr. Allen be immediately remanded to Iron Heights Penitentiary. And may God have mercy on your soul.
