Quotes 

• Joe West : I know how this looks. But there are other criminals that use ice to commit crimes, like Leonard Snart.

  Kristen Kramer : Snart was a man with a gun. Mr. Runk, you're our new technical consultant on meta-human affairs. What's your take on all this?

  Chester P. Runk : Uh, well, um, ma'am, uh...

  [taking a device out of his kit] 

  Chester P. Runk : Dark matter levels... uh, dark matter levels here are... oh... well, they're... they're off the charts.

  Barry Allen : That doesn't mean it's Frost. Look, you see the pattern in these ice crystals here? They're dendritic, like tree branches. Frost's ice crystals are usually hexagonal.

  Kristen Kramer : It's Killer Frost, Officer Allen. And you seem to know a lot about her powers.

  Barry Allen : Yeah, I've worked her crime scenes, and she's never killed anyone.

  Kristen Kramer : Until now, apparently.

• Kristen Kramer : You must see a lot of strange crime scenes working in this city.

  Barry Allen : Yeah, yeah. This case is another one. Usually, I'd find dark matter dispersed evenly throughout meta-produced ice. But from what I can tell, this ice has dark matter. It's just... only on the surface.

  Kristen Kramer : What would cause that?

  Barry Allen : I don't know, but I'm gonna find out.

• Kristen Kramer : Looks like Killer Frost has been busy.

• Joe West : Officer Allen is our department's top forensics examiner, ma'am. If there's any evidence here that we can use, he will find it.

  Kristen Kramer : And Killer Frost is still out there. Captain, I hate to pull rank, but Governor Williamson gave me special authority in order to address this city's long-standing metahuman problems. We need to keep public safety in mind.

  Joe West : Agreed.

  Kristen Kramer : Good. Because I'm going to ask the D.A.'s office to issue a warrant for Killer Frost's arrest. I'm gonna need you and your officers for backup.

  Joe West : I'll alert the Meta-human Task Force.

  Kristen Kramer : Thank you. I need to update the Governor's office. Excuse me.

  Barry Allen : [Kramer leaves]  Joe, you can't be serious. We all know Frost didn't do this.

  Joe West : What am I supposed to say, Barry? "Yes, Frost did spend the evening with Caitlin."

  Chester P. Runk : You can't give Kramer her alibi without admitting that you've talked to a fugitive. Dang, that's a real catch-22.

  [mimicking an echo] 

  Chester P. Runk : Two, two.

  [seeing their looks] 

  Chester P. Runk : I'm sorry, my timing on that was terrible. I'm just gonna go tell Frost what's going on.

• Frost : Something was taken from Ivo Labs this morning. Do you know anything about that?

  Mark Blaine : No, but I do know a bit about... science.

  [mixing a drink] 

  Mark Blaine : If you take a hydrometer to a bottle of Plymouth gin, you'll find that it has a specific gravity, 0.94, which means a liqueur like, say, creme de noyaux here, will sink right... to the bottom. Ergo, the secret to the smoothest cocktail... is density.

  Frost : [taking a sip]  That is... not bad.

  Mark Blaine : The famous Killer Frost likes my work. I'll call the Citizen.

  Frost : It's just Frost now.

  Mark Blaine : Oh.

  Frost : Turn that up.

  Kristen Kramer : [on TV at a press conference]  So in light of the violence at Ivo Labs this morning, the Central City Police Department is offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the meta criminal known as Killer Frost. If you have any knowledge on the whereabouts of Killer Frost, immediately call the Meta-Human Task Force tip line.

  Frost : [seeing the barflies surrounding her]  Crap.

• Kristen Kramer : Caitlin Snow, I have a warrant for your arrest.

  Caitlin Snow : What's the charge?

  Kristen Kramer : [into her walkie-talkie]  Kramer to Task Force command, hold your positions around the perimeter, and prepare for prisoner transfer. Are you alone, Dr. Snow?

  Caitlin Snow : Yes, but I... I think there's been a mistake. Joe. What is this? Who are you?

  Rene Carpenter : I'm Rene Carpenter. I'm a clinician with the M.H.E. team.

  Caitlin Snow : Mental health evaluation?

  Rene Carpenter : Yes, ma'am, it's standard procedure. I'm just here to help.

  Caitlin Snow : Joe, what is going on?

  Joe West : [holding up a pair of meta-cuffs]  Would you turn around, please?

  [cuffing her as she does so] 

  Joe West : Killer Frost, you're under arrest for aggravated assault, attempted murder, and two counts of kidnapping. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney...

• Chester P. Runk : Flash, there's a whole squad of CCPD cars outside of your location.

  The Flash : Yeah, we're trying to handle it, Chester.

  Kristen Kramer : Killer Frost, there is nowhere to go. We have you surrounded. You have one minute.

  Allegra Garcia : So what? Let 'em try.

  Barry Allen : [de-activating his cowl]  Or we could try calming down. Chillblaine here is the real killer. So I'll go out. I'll hand him over. I'll let 'em know you're innocent.

  Frost : Guys, I may not have killed that person today, but I'm not innocent. I have to go out there myself.

  Allegra Garcia : What?

  Barry Allen : Frost, Kramer has a warrant for all the crimes you committed before joining Team Flash. You get arrested, you're facing hard time if there's a conviction.

  Allegra Garcia : Uh-uh, that ain't happening. We can hide you somewhere while we figure this out.

  Frost : Right, and then you're harboring a fugitive. I can't let you do that.

• Frost : Guys, before today, I never paid for any of the bad things I did.

  Allegra Garcia : Because you were out saving the world.

  Frost : And I thought that was enough, too. But if I'm gonna prove that I've really changed, then I have to own up to it, as... painful as that might be.

  Allegra Garcia : Frost, I've been to Iron Heights. Jails do not make better people. They're hell. You cannot do this.

  Frost : I think I have to. You're not gonna try and stop me, are you?

  Barry Allen : Not unless you want me to.

  Frost : I don't.

  Allegra Garcia : Frost, please. What if you don't come back?

  Frost : Don't worry, I will.

  Allegra Garcia : [Frost hugs her goodbye]  No.

  Kristen Kramer : Time's up. Go.

  Frost : I'm coming out!

  Chester P. Runk : Guys, is Frost really doing this?

  Barry Allen : It's her choice, Chester. Something tells me it's the right one.

• Frost : Chillblaine didn't just commit a crime against good taste. He also killed the Ivo Labs driver, and I've got his confession on tape.

  Allegra Garcia : That means you're in the clear.

  Kristen Kramer : [sirens blare outside]  Killer Frost, come out with your hands raised. You have two minutes to comply.

• Joe West : Sergeant Kramer, we need to talk.

  Kristen Kramer : I'm in a bit of a hurry, Captain. Is there a problem?

  Joe West : Yes, there is. You mobilized my task force to harass someone who, from all accounts, is innocent, off of a phone call. There's no way in hell I would have authorized that.

  Kristen Kramer : Captain...

  Joe West : Sergeant. We're not supposed to work that way.

  Kristen Kramer : That's your point of view, and I respect that. But I also respect the evidence. Dr. Snow matches Killer Frost in 80 nodal points of facial recognition. Their known whereabouts over the last few months line up perfectly. And her prints were all over that delivery van. What's your conclusion?

  Joe West : I promise you, Caitlin Snow and Killer Frost are not the same person. And even if they were, I doubt that they wouldn't wear gloves as they went on a killing spree. This evidence, this anonymous phone call? It's like someone is trying to frame Frost.

  Kristen Kramer : Okay, then who?

  Joe West : I don't know, but Frost helps keep this city safe. Hell, she's saved my life; more than once.

  Kristen Kramer : She's still a criminal. Captain, you seem like a good cop, and I know that Dr. Snow is a friend of your family. But if you really want to honor your badge, you need to think about what is truly best for the public good.
