- Iris West-Allen: Six hours and 52 minutes ago, Barry vanished right in front of me. We don't know where he is, if he's in danger, or why he's not back yet. We don't know anything. Whether he's still alive!
- Chester P. Runk: Since then, I've double backed to the loft to look for evidence at the scene of the crime. Picked up some weird energy signature from the air, trace amounts of a radioactive isotope of cobalt.
- Khione: Did anyone else just get a bad feeling?
- Allegra Garcia: You okay? What's wrong?
- Iris West-Allen: I was searching for other unexplained disappearances in the database, and I came across this old draft. I thought I deleted it, but I guess it was backed up.
- Allegra Garcia: Hey, Barry's survived Crisis, and he's gonna survive this, too.
- Iris West-Allen: You know, when we first met Nora, she was from a timeline where Barry did vanish in Crisis. She grew up without a father. Living with the weight of that pain, I thought that this time around, we would give her a better life, one that she deserves... together. But someone's trying to pull us apart so that Barry won't be here for a second time. It's like my worst nightmare is coming true. And I just - I feel powerless to stop it.
- Allegra Garcia: Do you remember when I first saw that article? I was just smart-mouth kid with a record. But Iris, you took me under your wing. You taught me to be a reporter and a leader. So let me help you and be there for you like you've been there for me. And I can start by grabbing you some tea. Chamomile, right boss?
- Eddie Thawne: I remember everything. I shot myself in the chest.
- Captain Daisy Korber: That wasn't you. Now put your hands behind your back.
- Eddie Thawne: I am Eddie Thawne, and I'll prove it to you.
- [pulls a bullet out of his chest]
- Eddie Thawne: Now do you believe me?
- Captain Daisy Korber: Unbelievable. You look exactly like Detective Thawne. Do you have any ID on you, Mr. Gilmore?
- Dr. Malcolm Gilmore: Dr. Gilmore.
- [brings out his ID and the sees the information on it changing]
- Captain Daisy Korber: There a problem?
- Dr. Malcolm Gilmore: Sorry. No.
- Captain Daisy Korber: You wanna tell me again how you found this file?
- Dr. Malcolm Gilmore: We've been through this! There was a lightning strike in my office at Mercury Labs. When I woke up, it was there, staring at me. And I suddenly had this feeling that I needed to no more about Detective Thawne and why he looks just like me. You think I'm crazy. You know what? Forget this. Keep your classified file. I don't need this.
- Captain Daisy Korber: Wait. I worked with Detective Thawne. And even though he was a vet and I was a rookie, he went out of his way to make me feel welcome. I don't think any of us ever really got over this death.
- Dr. Malcolm Gilmore: What happened to him? His cause of death was redacted in the report.
- Captain Daisy Korber: Never got an official story. Sadly, not the only mysterious death to happen in Central City.
- Officer: Uh... can I help you?
- Dr. Malcolm Gilmore: This is gonna sound insane, but I, um- I was just in an accident. And I found this file, but what I saw inside doesn't make any sense.
- Captain Daisy Korber: Oh, my God. We need to talk.
