Barry Allen : Okay. What do we do now?
Ralph Dibny : I guess we say the magic words. The streets are paved with gold.
Barry Allen : Maybe you didn't say it lough enou...
[they fall down a hole]
-
Barry Allen : Goldface, more like Fools Gold.
-
Barry Allen : Well, what do you think?
Iris West-Allen : [not really paying attention] Looks great.
Barry Allen : I mean, I can move the couch against the wall, if that'll help.
[he does so with his powers]
Barry Allen : Iris, it's just couch in the corner or against the wall is pretty much the extent of my interior design knowledge.

Iris West-Allen : It's been a week since I launched the Central City Citizen, and I am still struggling to gain readers, and I think I just found out why.
Barry Allen : [looking at her laptop] "Iris West-Allen's first published articles as an aspiring online news maven brings one word to mind: boring. Her stories lack the edgy content made popular by sites such as Spencer Young's game-changing Spyn Zone. In short, Iris West-Allen plays it safe." Iris, come on. You can't listen to this. You're a real journalist. You don't want to write like Spencer Young. She didn't care about facts.
Iris West-Allen : Yeah, but at least she wrote about things that people cared about, like I did when I was writing about DeVoe.
Barry Allen : You wanna write about Cicada.
[she nods]
Barry Allen : Fine. Call me if you need me. I'll be at S.T.A.R. Labs.
Iris West-Allen : Yes, of course. I've got a lot of digging to do, and I think I have a hunch where to start.
-
Ralph Dibny : So you really think this might be it?
Caitlin Snow : Cisco sent me this sample to corroborate his findings, and it all checks out. I'm sending it back to him for final processing, but I think we may have found a way to suppress the meta genome.
Barry Allen : Great. Then we can use it to de-power Cicada, stop him for good.
Ralph Dibny : So, what's the plan? Put this thing in a tranq gun and go all "American Sniper" on him?
Caitlin Snow : It's not that simple.
-
Goldface : I'm only gonna ask once more. Who. Are. You?
Barry Allen : I'm nobody. No arrests, no convictions. Not for the Star City Museum heist where atomized Lorazepam knocked the guards out, or the acid bomb that blew open the Federal Reserve vault last month.
Goldface : Those you?
Barry Allen : Not according to police reports. Because the only evidence I leave behind are red herrings for idiot cops to chase down. You want to know who I am? You can call me the Chemist. But I really don't care what you call me. Just stop wasting my time.
Goldface : [to Ralph, after a moment of tension] You should let him do the talking.

Caitlin Snow : So, Cisco's breakthrough came from analyzing identical twins who were hit by the particle accelerator dark matter; cases where one developed powers and the other didn't. The key difference in both cases...
Barry Allen : The pituitary gland?
Caitlin Snow : Exactly. In some cases, the pituitary gland metabolizes dark matter, thus manifesting in meta powers.
Ralph Dibny : So to turn a meta-human into a human-human...
Caitlin Snow : We neutralize the dark matter in the pituitary gland. Except there's one problem. The cure isn't instant. We would have to immobilize Cicada for long enough for the cure to take effect.
Barry Allen : How long will that take?
Caitlin Snow : Best guess, a minute.
Ralph Dibny : It's gonna be damn near impossible to hold him still for one second, much less sixty.
Barry Allen : Okay, but we're so close. I mean, there's... there's gotta be something we can do, even if we have to think outside the box.
Caitlin Snow : I do have one more idea.
-
Barry Allen : Ralph says you've got some information that could help us.
Earl Cox : Well, turns out, that device you're looking for has been circulating in the underground black market.
Ralph Dibny : Sounds like Amunet Black's territory.
Earl Cox : Eh, Amunet's still MIA. But believe it or not, her ex-boyfriend is filling the void. You ever heard of Goldface?
Barry Allen : [recognizing the name] Yeah, he's stolen more weaponized tech than any criminal in the city. CCPD's been looking for his black market for years.
Earl Cox : Oh, aye, and they'll keep on coming up empty. You pay at the market, and poof, your goods turn up a day later in an abandoned warehouse.
Barry Allen : So by the time we get what we want...
Earl Cox : Goldface will be long gone.
-
Barry Allen : We're supposed to pay Goldface and then just let him get away?
Ralph Dibny : Come on, you said we needed to think outside the box.
Barry Allen : This is making a deal with the devil.
Ralph Dibny : No, this is stopping Cicada. Look, I don't like this any more than you do, but in some cases, the ends justify the means. And stopping a psychotic meta-killer who we are literally powerless against, that's one of those cases.
-
Barry Allen : Meta cuffs?
Carver : That's right, power-dampening cuffs fitted with an explosive charge, in case you're both metas. So tell me, who sent you?
Ralph Dibny : That's really sweet. Look how threatening they're trying to be.
-
Barry Allen : So, nobody, including us, knows where we are right now.
Ralph Dibny : And we are totally powerless.
Barry Allen : Dude, if we make the wrong move in here, these cuffs are gonna be the least of our worries.
Ralph Dibny : New game plan. The antihero of our dynamic duo will find the Field Generator. And you're just gonna stay here and try to not look like a cop. Or a superhero.
-
Gat : You look like a discerning consumer. Might I interest you in a little firepower?
Barry Allen : No, I'm good.
Gat : Come to a weapons market and you don't want any weapons?
Barry Allen : I said I'm good. I'm here for something special.
Gat : What's more special than a CCPD killer?
Barry Allen : What do you mean?
Gat : [showing him a blaster] That's what's great about these babies. Burn through police-issued body armor. I call them Toastmasters. Try it for yourself.
[he leads Barry to a firing range, where Barry shoots a test dummy]
Gat : Can't wait to see cops' faces when these hit the streets. Or what's left of their faces.
Barry Allen : How much for all of them?
Gat : Uh, all of them? There's a limit per customer. I guess I could ask Goldface for approval.
Barry Allen : No, why don't we just work this out between us? How much will it cost to take all of these off your hands?
-
Ralph Dibny : [pulling Barry away from Gat] What the hell are you doing?
Barry Allen : Okay, this guy has got crates of cop-killing guns. Would you prefer he sells them to criminals?
Ralph Dibny : I would prefer that you not blow our cover, and you're going to blow our cover. Come on, man, I asked you to turn off hero mode for, like, ten minutes.
-
Barry Allen : Did you find the Field Generator?
Ralph Dibny : Of course did. But you're not gonna like who has it.
-
Goldface : Ivo Labs has this cutting-edge 3-D printer. Sold it some hospital.
Ralph Dibny : What's so special about a 3-D printer?
Goldface : This one prints artificial organs. If I've got it, I can sell life to the highest bidder.
Barry Allen : You want us to rob a hospital.
Goldface : Of course not; I'm not a monster. I want you to rob the lab before it ever gets to the hospital.
