The Flash (TV Series)

Failure Is an Orphan (2019)

Chris Klein: Orlin Dwyer, Cicada

Quotes 

• The Flash : I don't want to fight. We have a cure.

  Cicada : What are you talking about?

  The Flash : We have a way to cure meta-humans. We have a way to take their powers away. We want you to take it.

  Cicada : And why would I agree to do that?

  The Flash : Your legacy. I know how this ends. You keep killing, and you're remembered as a monster, not a hero. But we can change that together, you can have a different legacy. You just have to choose it.

  Cicada : [uppercuts the Flash into a minivan]  I don't give a damn about my legacy.

• Barry Allen : We made an arrangement. We cure him and then Grace.

  Iris West-Allen : Okay.

  Orlin Dwyer : Why are we here and not at a hospital?

  Barry Allen : We have to be sure that the cure is successful.

  Cisco Ramon : We created it. We're the ones who know how it works.

  Caitlin Snow : Once administered, the cure will take 60 seconds to eliminate the meta-human powers in your system. That means the wound will then open. You'll need me to suture it shut so you don't bleed out.

  Orlin Dwyer : Why not Doc Ambres?

  Iris West-Allen : She's being held for questioning.

  Orlin Dwyer : No, it's Ambres, or we're done.

  Barry Allen : All right, we'll get her.

  Orlin Dwyer : If anything goes wrong, of if you're lying to me, I'll kill every... last... one of you.

• Cisco Ramon : Okay, one fresh serving of piping hot meta-human cure.

  Dr. Vanessa Ambres : I'm just supposed to trust that thing works? Has it gone through any human testing?

  Cisco Ramon : It's gone through giant shark testing. It's a long story.

  Orlin Dwyer : It's okay, Doc.

  Dr. Vanessa Ambres : I wanted to tell you the truth about Grace. I just couldn't find the words.

  Orlin Dwyer : You were just trying to keep her safe. I'll always be thankful for that. See you on the other side.

• Orlin Dwyer : Every time one of you metas comes near the rest of us, good people get hurt. This is what you all deserve.

  The Flash : Does that include Grace?

  [surprised at Orlin's reaction] 

  The Flash : Ambres hasn't told you. Grace, she's a meta. The night the satellite crashed, she was hit with a piece of shrapnel infected with dark matter. That's... that's why she's in a coma. And now it's changing her.

  Orlin Dwyer : That's a lie.

  The Flash : And that's why Ambres told us where to find you. She's afraid. She's afraid you're gonna do the one thing you can't come back from.

• The Flash : I know how much you care about Grace. You're trying to make the world a better place for her. She didn't choose to be a meta, but she is. Does that mean she deserves to die?

  Orlin Dwyer : No, I would never hurt Grace.

  The Flash : Then you'd let her grow up in a world of fear. Where there's someone out there hurting people like her. The cure, it will heal Grace and you.

  Orlin Dwyer : And why should I believe you, Flash?

  Barry Allen : [removing his mask]  Because I'm a father, too. My daughter, I love her more than I ever thought possible. I would do anything to make the world a better place for her. I think you would, too. So do it.
