Failure Is an Orphan (2019)

Tom Cavanagh: Sherloque Wells

Quotes 

• Nora West-Allen : If Cicada goes after this acid meta, that means that today's the last day we're going to confront him.

  Sherloque Wells : And our chance to stop him.

  Barry Allen : Yeah, all right, well, then, I gotta figure out exactly what I'm gonna say to him.

  Nora West-Allen : You'll find the words, Dad. I'll help you.

  Cisco Ramon : And I am going to start working on facial rec for this Acid Master. Yup, that's what I'm going with. Always trust your gut, kids.

• Nora West-Allen : I don't understand what happened. I mean, we got Dwyer, we gave him the cure. If... if Cicada doesn't exist anymore, who was that?

  Sherloque Wells : Someone worse.

• Sherloque Wells : [to Barry and Iris, after Nora gets on their nerves]  You two did this.

  Cisco Ramon : You made her.

  Sherloque Wells : You are responsible.

• Nora West-Allen : Okay, people, think. We haven't seen Cicada since the rooftop fight, which means the only way to track him down is to figure out who his next meta-human target's gonna be. Have we double-checked every bank robbery, every lab break-in?

  Sherloque Wells : Yes, yes! We have looked at all of that, all right? And all the criminals that are in custody are simply mere mortals.

  Nora West-Allen : What about the ones on the street?

  Caitlin Snow : Frost says that no new metas have shown up since Norvock went into WITSEC.

  Nora West-Allen : Are the satellites tracking for dark matter or meta-gene bursts or Element X?

  Cisco Ramon : Yes, yes, and yes. They're scanning for everything.

  [to Barry and Iris] 

  Cisco Ramon : Congratulations, you raised a menace.

• Nora West-Allen : Are you ready? This is gonna be one of the biggest challenges of your career as a hero. Do you know what you're gonna to say?

  Barry Allen : Oh, yeah... you know, yeah. I've... I've got some loose thoughts.

  Sherloque Wells : Oh, great. Well, that instills all of us with confidence, right? Loose thoughts? What are you going to say? "Hey, most bloodthirsty enemy! Stop."

  Iris West-Allen : Guys, it worked for Marlize. Maybe not so much for Savitar, but...

  Barry Allen : I will figure out what to say to him, all right? I got this.

• Caitlin Snow : Sherloque, you happy to be going home soon?

  Sherloque Wells : Of course I'm happy to go back. I just feel that... somehow, there's more work to be done here.

  Caitlin Snow : I think he's, uh, talking about his lady friend. You know, I have a bit of experience with these, uh... long-distance relationships. I got one word for you.

  Sherloque Wells : Hmm.

  Cisco Ramon : Holocube. These things work wonders.

  Sherloque Wells : Can I request that you stop speaking, possibly forever? I can deduce from your conversation when you came in that you have indeed tracked down Cicada's next target, but do need help facilitating the conversation between Cicada and the Flash, correct, yes? So, good. Come with me and I will give you the solution.

  Caitlin Snow : [surprised]  When did you figure it out?

  Sherloque Wells : I'll miss you both very much. But you will miss me more.

• Caitlin Snow : We ran city-wide racial recognition scans.

  Iris West-Allen : And scanned for dark matter signals from Cicada's dagger.

  Barry Allen : That was our last shot at confronting Cicada.

  Iris West-Allen : We don't know that. The change in the timeline, that photo that Nora saw at the Flash Museum, it could be different now.

  Caitlin Snow : Maybe it doesn't even exist.

  Sherloque Wells : After all, the timeline is malleable.

• Caitlin Snow : I thought we scanned Grace for meta powers when Nora entered her brain.

  Cisco Ramon : We did, but that was back when her DNA was 100% human.

  Sherloque Wells : Her powers must have activated in just the last few weeks, right?

  Barry Allen : Yeah, Ambres told Joe that the wound in Grace's head recently started glowing and mutating.

  Cisco Ramon : Now all we need to do is get Dwyer to listen to you, again.
