The Flash (TV Series)

Armageddon, Part 3 (2021)

Danielle Nicolet: Cecile Horton

Quotes 

• Allegra Garcia : Iris has trusted Barry against the odds before, like when Bloodwork infected him, and she was right.

  Iris West-Allen : If there's even a chance that this could be real, I can't give up, and you wouldn't want me to.

  Cecile Horton : Is that what you think? You think I gave up? Oh, my God. You think I don't wake up alone every morning in our bed praying to God that all of this was nothing but a bad dream? Iris, I have done everything that I can to just keep moving forward since I lost Joe. I did it so that I could be there for you and for Jenna, for this team, and you come in here and you want to shove his death in my face? He was the father of my child!

  Iris West-Allen : And my father!

  Cecile Horton : Fine. If you insist on pursuing this lie, then we will save Barry without you.

  Iris West-Allen : Fine. You save him your way, I'll save him mine.

  [she leaves, and Allegra follows her out] 

  Catlin Snow : Okay, Cecile. What do you want to do?

  Cecile Horton : We find Barry before Despero does first, no matter what it takes.

• Iris West-Allen : When Dad died, CCPD said that his death was an accident. He fell on the tracks at Scott Railway. Kramer left me with the evidence, but for the last six months, I haven't been able to look at it, but then I thought about what Barry said, that we have to investigate what happened. So I finally started looking, and this is what I found.

  Catlin Snow : [seeing the security footage]  Joe.

  Cecile Horton : Why are you showing us this?

  Iris West-Allen : Just trust me.

  [as the video plays] 

  Iris West-Allen : See, one second he's there, and the next, he's gone. I haven't figured this all out yet, but if somebody framed Barry, then he doesn't cause Armageddon. And, Cecile, Dad could be alive.

  Cecile Horton : No. No, it's impossible.

  Iris West-Allen : Is it? I mean, what if a meta-human abducted him at the last second or... or he got swapped with, like, a-a-a mirror clone?

  Cecile Horton : I saw them bury his body. So did Barry, and so did you.

  Chester P. Runk : Okay, guys, how about we, uh, take five, yeah?

  Iris West-Allen : I'm not trying to upset you.

  Cecile Horton : What are you trying to do?

  Iris West-Allen : I'm trying to find out if my dad is still alive. I'm trying to prove my husband's innocence.

  Cecile Horton : Iris, it does not matter if he is innocent if we can't find him, which is what we have been trying to do while you have been living in a fantasy world!

• Rosalind Dillon : [winning a game of pool]  So, who wants next game, boys? Think you can end up... on top?

  Cecile Horton : I think you're done for today.

  Rosalind Dillon : Horton, I'm surprised you showed. Figured you'd still be crying over your boyfriend somewhere. You should have heard the cheers at Iron Heights when that news broke out.

  Cecile Horton : Well, that's funny, 'cause I figured you'd already be running Scudder's entire criminal enterprise, not hustling morons in a dive bar. Guess you probably shouldn't have sold him out after all.

  Rosalind Dillon : [taking the money Cecile offers]  Fine.

  Cecile Horton : Aw. That means you're available.

  Rosalind Dillon : For what? You got a job for me, Miss meta-attorney?

  Cecile Horton : Look, I need help. Psychic help. Someone that I care about is missing.

  Rosalind Dillon : Let me guess. He runs real fast. It's all over the news. Flash went bad. It's the feel-good story of the year. And even if I did want to help return the Scarlet Speedster to the side of angels, during our last go-round, you messed with my head. I don't know if I can trust you.

  Cecile Horton : Can you trust me to help get your parole restrictions lifted?

  Rosalind Dillon : Quid pro quo, huh?

  [as Cecile nods, she offers a handshake] 

  Rosalind Dillon : When do we start?

• Catlin Snow : How are we supposed to find Barry now?

  Cecile Horton : Okay, this is gonna sound wild, but Despero's scanning the whole world for Barry's brainwaves, right? Like a needle in a haystack. I know him better than almost anyone.

  Chester P. Runk : So you should be able to pinpoint Barry's mind faster than he can, only Despero's psychic radius is exponentially higher than yours.

  Catlin Snow : Alex Danvers says he gets a power boost from his power source, the Flame of Py'tar.

  Cecile Horton : Okay, I just need a boost of my own, right? So, you can build something, something that can amplify my psychic powers.

  Chester P. Runk : You want me to build a Cerebro out of the trash in my garage? I mean...

  [looking around] 

  Chester P. Runk : Oh, frak yeah, I can do that.

  Catlin Snow : Okay, there's still one problem. Kalanorians like Despero have four hemispheres to their brain. The human brain only has two. So even if we amplify your empathic radius, you'd still be at a disadvantage.

  Cecile Horton : Then we're gonna need some more brain power. And I know just who to call.

• Chester P. Runk : So you think Despero's right, that Barry's gonna destroy the world or something?

  Cecile Horton : No, no, hey, what Barry did today was scary, and the things that he said, they really, really hurt, but someone that we love is going through a mental health crisis, so I don't care what he may or may not do ten years from now. We need to take care of him today just like he did for me.

  Catlin Snow : Okay, we'll follow your lead. What do you want to do?

  Cecile Horton : Okay, I've been sensing Despero all day. He's using his mind's eye to scan the city. Now, he hasn't found him yet, but if Barry's not thinking clearly...

  Iris West-Allen : [coming in]  What if he's the only one thinking clearly?

  Allegra Garcia : Boss, what are you talking about?

  Iris West-Allen : Look, I know how this is gonna sound, but when Despero showed up, he said that Barry would suffer tragedy, and then on cue, he lost his job, he lost S.T.A.R. Labs, and now he's lost his mind. Doesn't that seem like a big coincidence? A little too big?

  Chester P. Runk : But Despero's from the future. Wouldn't he know what happened?

  Iris West-Allen : But what if he didn't know that someone secretly caused it to happen?

  Allegra Garcia : You think he's being framed.

  Cecile Horton : Iris, he forgot about Joe. Nobody was framing him then.

  Iris West-Allen : Yeah, I'm not so sure.

• Cecile Horton : [about Rosalind Dillion]  I can't feel her anymore. What did you do?

  Despero : I looked inside her mind, but I could only reconstruct the Flash's location. The other half must be in yours. Don't be afraid. It's a necessity. I am trying to save the world.

  Cecile Horton : By killing us and Barry?

  Despero : A few lives to spare billions. That's a trade I'm willing to make, but one you won't even stomach. Your mind's strong for a human empath, but it's kindling compared to the Flame of Py'tar. Stop fighting me and show me where he is. You have no allies left. You're weak, and you're alone.

  Cecile Horton : You're wrong. I am not alone.
