Quotes 

• Reverse-Flash : Nobody uses time against me. I will live. I will change what's about to happen. And you will help me.

• Caitlin Snow : Frost, Chillblaine, and Batwoman are searching the city, but no sign of Reverse-Flash.

  Cecile Horton : And I can't feel him anymore. It's like he magically disappeared.

  Eobard Thawne : Then try harder.

  Iris West-Allen : Cecile, um, we know that you're doing your best.

  Eobard Thawne : Yes, of course you are.

  Allegra Garcia : What's up with him, anyway? Has he gone crazy? I mean, the guy actually thought he was the Flash.

  Eobard Thawne : He's a sociopath. There's no explaining a mind like that. Runk, where are we with the satellites?

  [getting no answer] 

  Eobard Thawne : Runk?

  Chester P. Runk : What?

  Eobard Thawne : Satellites.

  Chester P. Runk : Right, right, right, right. Uh, satellites are scanning for his negative tachyons, sir. But after analyzing samples from Robern's, looks like the Reverse-Flash is running on limited speed.

  Ryan Choi : Less speed means lower tachyon output.

  Alex Danvers : Making him harder to track.

  Eobard Thawne : But not impossible. If we sync the Atomic Bracelet's microsensors to the satellite, that'll isolate the smallest tachyons. That'll give us Allen's location.

  Chester P. Runk : Consider it done, Captain Eo.

  Eobard Thawne : Horton, use the Thinker's chair to boost your empathic scans. Snow, get the med lab ready in case there's trouble. Danvers, Garcia, weapons check.

• Chester P. Runk : We tracked down the PED and Reverse-Flash.

  Alex Danvers : He's crossing the Atlantic Ocean.

  Cecile Horton : What the hell is he doing?

  Arielle Atkins : [reporting on TV]  He's destroying the city. It's like the end of days out here.

  Ryan Choi : Holy crap, it's not just the city. Allen's speed wake is causing the globe to tear itself apart. It's an extinction-level event in progress.

  Allegra Garcia : He's right. I'm tracking at least a hundred earthquakes.

  Alex Danvers : A tsunami just hit Japan.

  Caitlin Snow : Allen really has lost his mind. He realized he can't win, so he's trying to kill us all.

  Cecile Horton : I have to go. I gotta go get Jenna.

  Frost : Guys, Mark and I could use backup!

  Allegra Garcia : Go. I'll stay here.

  Alex Danvers : Okay.

  Ryan Choi : Hey, not to be that guy, but since this could be the end of the world as we know it, if anyone has anything to say, now would be the time.

  Chester P. Runk : Uh, the Reverse-Flash just hit Europe.

  Caitlin Snow : Where is Eobard?

  Eobard Thawne : I'm right behind him.

• Iris West-Allen : What are you thinking?

  Eobard Thawne : Well, I'm thinking you should be at home resting up for our big day tomorrow.

  Iris West-Allen : I will.

  Eobard Thawne : [seeing she has something on her mind]  What?

  Iris West-Allen : It's just that Allen seems off. Baby, he called me his lightning rod. Only you call me that.

  Eobard Thawne : I know. But he's smart. He's attacking our love. We cannot let him pull us apart.

  Iris West-Allen : He won't.

• Reverse Flash : Guys, Thawne is tricking you. I came here from 2021.

  Iris West-Allen : Save it, Allen. We're not falling for your mind games this time.

  The Flash : Put him down.

• Eobard Thawne : You got a lot of nerve showing up here, Allen.

  Barry Allen : It's been you this whole time. Despero, Armageddon, Joe.

  Iris West-Allen : Don't you dare say my father's name, you murderer.

  Barry Allen : Guys, it's me, Barry. Iris is my wife. We've all fought Thawne together.

  Cecile Horton : [reading Barry's thoughts]  Oh, my God. He actually believes the things he's saying.

  Barry Allen : Fine. I'll show you it's me.

  [whooshes away to change into costume, he comes back dressed as the Reverse-Flash] 

  Barry Allen : Thawne, what did you do?

  Eobard Thawne : You're not the Flash, Allen.

  [whooshes away to change into The Flash] 

  Eobard Thawne : I am.

• Eobard Thawne : Iris West is my lightning rod, Reverse-Flash.

  Barry Allen : What the hell did you do?

  Eobard Thawne : Nothing you haven't done before.

  Barry Allen : You created a Flashpoint.

  Eobard Thawne : Wrong. I created a Reverse Flashpoint. I started by doing a little housekeeping at S.T.A.R. Labs, and then I took care of the one father you had left. Why? Because after our last encounter, it was clear to me you were faster than I was, and the only way to defeat you... was to become you. So I ran back to the year 2013 and made sure that I was the one struck by the lightning. I was the one that Iris West wrote about as the Streak. I led Team Flash. I was the one Iris West fell in love with. I stole your life! And because every hero needs a villain... I created that, too.

  Barry Allen : You wore my face. It was you that attacked the city that day. That's why they don't trust me.

  Eobard Thawne : Made you think you were crazy. Crazy enough to beg, literally beg, Jefferson Pierce to steal your speed. What's it right now, 5%? Maybe less?

  Barry Allen : Thawne, what you did destroys the world. It creates Armageddon.

  Eobard Thawne : No.

  Barry Allen : No, it's true, damn it!

  Eobard Thawne : I would not create a perfect world just to watch it die. As a matter of fact, the only thing that is set to expire is you. And do you know why? Because I finally did what I set out to do all those years ago. I killed you as a child.

  [Barry tries to punch him, but his hand goes right through] 

  Eobard Thawne : You can do that all night long. But the fact remains, at the stroke of midnight, my timeline will solidify... and you will cease to exist. And your precious Speed Force cannot help you now, because in this timeline, she chose me. And Iris chose me. I've won. I finally won. Who's faster now?

• Barry Allen : I just want to talk, I swear.

  Iris West-Allen : [raising the Velocity-Zero gun]  You take one more step, and I'm gonna shoot you.

  Barry Allen : Okay.

  Iris West-Allen : [seeing his hand fade in and out]  What's wrong with you? Are you dying?

  Barry Allen : Something like that. I came here because I'm about to do something impossible. And even though it might not work, I... I couldn't leave this world without telling you that...

  Eobard Thawne : [zooping in]  Nice try, Allen, but she doesn't love you. She loves me. Tell him, Iris, or better yet... shoot him.

• Eobard Thawne : What are you waiting for? Shoot him!

  Barry Allen : I need you to know, no matter what happens, after everything Thawne's taken from me, he can't take away my feelings for you. I love you, Iris.

  Eobard Thawne : Enough.

  Iris West-Allen : [shooting Thawne with the Velocity-Zero gun]  Go, before I change my mind.
