BARRY: My name is Barry Allen,
and I am the fastest man alive.
To the outside world, I'm an ordinary forensic scientist,
but secretly, with the help of my friends at S.T.A.R. Labs,
I fight crime and find other meta-humans like me.
I hunted down the man who killed my mother,
but in doing so, I opened up our world to new threats.
And I am the only one fast enough to stop them.
I am The Flash.
NARRATOR: Previously on The Flash...
No!
The man who saved Central City.
Why did you want to kill me?
- He promised he'd take me home. - Who?
- Zoom. - Wells killed my mother.
I don't know anything anymore,
especially who I can and can't trust.
S.T.A.R. Labs is now safer than ever.
People can't just waltz in and out of here.
- Exactly. - (GASPS)
- Stay where you are. - JAY: My name is Jay Garrick.
Your world is in danger, Barry Allen.
Please, just let me explain.
I mean you no harm.
How do you know my name?
I know all your names. Caitlin Snow,
Cisco Ramon, Detective Joe West...
Enough.
That part about explaining needs to happen right about now.
This world is in danger.
What other worlds are there?
When you created the singularity above Central City,
you also created a breach between my world and yours.
I'm sorry, a breach?
Yes, a portal connecting our two earths.
And what precisely is your concern?
A few days ago, you found a dead man named Al Rothstein at the nuclear plant.
But then a different Al Rothstein tried to kill you.
Atom Smasher.
That man was from my world.
If he got through the breach,
I suspect there'll be more to follow.
Okay, so, Jay, how exactly do you know all of this?
Where I came from, I was a speedster like you.
They called me The Flash.
(STIRRING MUSIC)
The Flash (2015) S02E02 "Flash Of Two Worlds" Air Date: October 13, 2015
Before I arrived on your earth,
I was in a fight with a man named Zoom.
Zoom?
I've heard that name before.
Atom Smasher, he said Zoom sent him here to kill me.
Who is this guy?
He's a speedster, like you and me.
And fast. Maybe the fastest of all.
But evil.
He is an unstoppable demon with the face of death.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
We were engaged in our fiercest battle ever,
racing throughout my city.
But I wasn't fast enough to stop him.
- (SCREAMING) - Zoom had me beaten.
Aah!
He was about to kill me
when suddenly there was a blinding light
and the sky split open.
A breach, between my world and yours,
caused from the singularity.
It pulled me in...
♪ ♪
And I somehow ended up in your world.
Powerless. Unable to return home.
What do you mean?
I lost my speed.
How?
Not entirely sure.
So, you've been in Central City for six months.
Why haven't you come to see us before?
I'm in a foreign world here, Detective.
I didn't know who you all were.
Took me that long to piece it all together.
So that's how you know our names.
You've been following us.
Look, I know how this sounds.
The existence of another earth,
you, another Flash,
it all came as an unexpected shock to me, too.
I just wish there was something I could do to convince you.
There is.
We're gonna... do some tests on you.
See if you're telling us the truth.
'Cause if you're not, this Zoom,
he's not gonna be your only enemy.
(GRUNTING)
Where the hell am I?
You want to go home?
You only have to do one thing.
What's that?
Kill The Flash.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
So, Mr. Garrick,
how long have you been The Flash on your world?
Not long enough to call me Mister.
Please, it's Jay.
Jay, of course.
On my world, I've been The Flash for about two years.
And how did you get your speed?
Not really sure. I was at my lab
trying to purify heavy water without any residual radiation
when there was a blinding light.
I fell into a coma. When I woke up,
I could run almost as fast as the speed of light.
Sorry. Did you say lab?
Are you a scientist?
Well, I certainly didn't work at a place like this,
but, yeah.
I had a respectable solo operation.
Part-time chemist, part-time physicist.
- Part-time superhero. - Hmm.
I can forget that superhero part now, though, huh?
Is any of this possible?
A breach to another earth? It's not, right?
The contrary. Just recently,
the many-different-worlds theory proposed interaction
with parallel universes was plausible.
Now, if what Mr. Garrick's saying is true,
that theory's been proven sooner than we all thought.
It doesn't add up.
I'm gonna be honest here,
I don't understand what the hell
any of you are talking about.
So, Jay is saying he's from,
like, a mirror-world.
Or a parallel universe
that's very, very similar to ours.
Multiverse would be a more apt description.
- No, not helping. - Bless your heart.
Okay, let's see if this helps.
This is our earth.
Let's call it Earth-1.
And this second Earth, let's call it Earth-2.
This is where Jay claims to be from.
And these other earths, three, four, five,
to infinity, all of them, are nearly identical to ours.
And they all exist at the same time,
giving us endless alternatives to what we have here.
For example, the Joe West on Earth-2, your doppelganger,
he might not be a detective.
He could be a Nobel Prize-winning physicist.
And you, the Barry Allen here is The Flash,
but over there, he could be an electrician.
So, I'm assuming that the people on all these other earths
work to make money to pay bills and such.
- I would imagine. - So we got that in common.
I'm heading back to the station.
Call me when this makes a little bit more sense.
I'm still trying to wrap my head
around this whole idea of time travel.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY)
There is, uh, one problem that remains.
If Mr. Garrick is telling the truth,
there is a breach
somewhere in Central City that we need to find
and close for good.
Yeah, but how do we find it?
We don't even know what to look for.
Well, I... I suggest we put our heads together
and come up with a solution.
Not literally, of course.
Those days are over.
- What'd you find? - Well, Jay's heart rate is extraordinarily low.
And he does have regenerative capabilities.
Other than that, I'm not seeing any evidence
of the Speed Force in his system.
We don't even have proof that he's a speedster,
much less from another earth?
Not necessarily.
What does that mean?
Well, Jay doesn't know this,
but while I was testing his heart rate,
blood pressure, and motor responses,
I also measured his autonomic reactions while we were talking.
You gave him a lie detector test?
And he passed it.
What if he's not a good guy,
and he just wants to find our weaknesses?
Keep running tests. See what else you can find out.
(PHONE VIBRATING)

Detective West, sir.
Yes, Officer... ?
Spivot. Patty Spivot.
Captain Singh mentioned there may be positions
available on your anti-meta-human task force.
Yeah, everybody quit. There is no task force anymore.
Well, I know someone who's interested in being on it.
Me.
You do realize that
meta-humans have super powers, right?
- (LAUGHS SOFTLY) - And even if they didn't,
you wouldn't be a good fit for the team.
Because I'm a woman?
I didn't mean to imply that.
Good, because I know how difficult this job would be,
but I think I'm an excellent candidate.
I triple-majored at Hudson in biology, chemistry, and physics.
I'm in prime physical condition.
And I rated top of my class in marksmanship.
Your class?
You don't even have your stripes yet.
Soon. Been on the job seven months, sir.
Are you aware of what happened to my previous partner?
Detective Thawne, yes.
I know that he died and the one before him,
Fred Chyre, died, too, but the one before that's not dead,
just transferred.
I'm sure it had nothing to do with you.
- Listen, Officer... - Spivot, Patty Spivot.
Yes, Spivot, the answer's no.
All I'm asking for is a shot, sir.
- Please, just an interview. - You just had the interview.
Didn't get the job.
(ELECTRONICS BEEPING)
I hope you understand why we have to do this.
I get it, kid.
You're doing what you think you have to.
But you'll all realize soon enough that this,
the tests, it's unnecessary.
I want to help you, Barry, not harm you.
You're not the first person that's said that to me.
If what you told me about Zoom is true,
that he sent Rothstein here to kill you,
instead of locking me up in here,
you better start listening.
Because if Zoom is involved,
you are gonna need a lot more than just me at your side
to stay alive.

Here. Took a sample for you.
Uh, there's also some fingerprints
on the back of the pipe.
You should have gone into CSI work.
I love the science, but out here's where all the action is.
Isn't that right, Detective West?

- Spivot, yeah. - Spivot.

I'm trying to join the anti-meta-human task force.

Yeah, I've been trying to pick that lock since I was 11.
So, if you figure it out, how about you let me know?

It was nice to meet you, Barry.
Yeah, you too. Ahem.
His blood pressure is low, his heart rate is low,
his oxygen levels are impressive.
Yeah, but nothing compared to Barry's.
No, but he's certainly in the physical specimen range.
- In more ways than one. - Hmm?
Oh, I wasn't paying attention.
That's enough for today, Jay.
Thank you.
Found it at the crime scene.
I mean, it's gotta be from the meta-human that attacked me.
Huh.
What is this stuff? Sand?
- (SIGHS) - It's not sand.
It's human cells whose myosin II protein
have migrated to the cell's periphery.
Jay's a fellow science nerd.
Those cells have the ability to rearrange and harden,
giving them the appearance of sand.
And how do you know this?
They belong to a meta-human
I've fought before named Sand Demon.
I know you're new here,
so I'm just gonna break it down for you.
The whole "naming the bad guys thing,"

I was being thorough.
Sand Demon's from my world.
Let me teach you how to stop him.
Yeah, I don't need you to teach me anything, Jay.
Zoom sent Rothstein here to kill you.
He must have sent Sand Demon here to do the same thing.
Don't you get it? Anyone close to the Flash,

Exotic matter.

transdimensional energy?
Precisely. Exotic matter,
transdimensional energy will theoretically leak
from one universe into another.
Now, if this breach Mr. Garrick's talking about
is real, if there is indeed
a hole in our universe which leads to his earth...
We can make some adjustments

And, speed or no speed,
in my book you were still a hero today.
I'm just sorry
we didn't all realize it a little bit sooner.
Especially me.
I'll leave you two speedsters alone.

So, I hear they call you "The Scarlet Speedster""
- Yeah. - (CHUCKLES)

Hey, look, Jay, um...
So, thank you for all your help.
And for being so patient with me.
Nah, anytime, kid. You're a quick study.
Took me a lot longer to learn how to toss lightning,
believe me.
Then I suppose I had the right teacher.
It's going to be a lot harder to take down Zoom.
Who is this guy?
No one knows.
He showed up around the same time as when I got my powers.
Killed a lot of people in my world.
I spent about two years tracking him down.
But he was too smart, too quick.
He's always one step ahead.
You really think he's just
bringing these guys here to kill me?
Zoom is obsessed with destroying me.
- Now he wants to destroy you. - Yeah.
He needs to be the best.
And he will do whatever it takes
to ensure he's the only speedster.
In any world.
- Officer Spivot? - Detective.
You're supposed to be home resting.
I'm okay, sir, really.
Look, I'm sorry you got mixed up in all this mess
because of me.
It's not your fault.
Do you really think you have what it takes
to be part of my task force?
I know it, sir.
Well, I always check the jacket of anyone
I'm considering for it.
In my research on you,
I found out we got a mutual acquaintance.
Mark Mardon.
I need you to be honest with me here.
Why do you want to do this?
Mark Mardon killed my dad.
(DARK MUSIC)
He had a little shoe shop down on Chesterfield.
It was a cash business.
One night he went to Fairfield bank
to make his weekly deposit,
and the Mardon brothers showed up.
While he was waiting in line,
Mark shot my dad in the face for a few hundred dollars.
♪ ♪
Then a few months later, Mark and his brother got powers.
Two murderers got superpowers.
So that's why I'm here, Sir.
That's why I'm so hell-bent on being on your task force.
'Cause there's some bad people out there
and they can do anything.
And I may not have powers,
but I want to stop them.
You're the only person I know who wants to do that, too.

Hi.
Been a long time.
Yeah, it has.
Why are you here?
Because you didn't return my calls.
And I wanted to see you.
And our daughter.

Any progress with the electrophotography?

Two hunches in one day.
Slick's locale,
and that he'd be using a concussive bomb
to thwart Barry.
Do I need to inform you of the odds of such a prediction?
(DARK MUSIC)
Something's happening to me.
I'm starting to perceive things.
Horrible things.
It started after Wells killed me in the other timeline.
It came back when Atom Smasher attacked on Flash Day,
and then again when Sand Demon showed up.
I get a vibe,
and then a vision of something that's already happened,

Cisco, this is amazing.
We... we have to study this, figure out just what to do.
No, no, no, we're not doing any of that,
and we're certainly not telling anybody, either.
Cisco, I would think you'd be the one most intrigued
with knowing exactly what this is and how it works.
I'm seeing things I don't want to see.
And knowing things I don't want to know.
I just want it to stop.
Professor, I don't want anyone to know about this.
Not yet.

It's okay to be afraid, you know?
Wells told me this was my future.
That he gave me this power.
But everything he did was evil.
That's what scares me, Professor.
You have to promise me
you won't tell anyone about this.
I promise.

Oh, wow.
It appears that while we were indeed successful
in closing the singularity,
there was an unfortunate side effect.
- What are you talking about? - Using electrophotography,
Cisco and I were able to search Central City
for any signs of energy entering our earth
from another dimension.
From any "breaches", as Mr. Garrick described them.
But, of course, there isn't just one breach.
There's 52 of them scattered throughout the city.
These breaches are pockets of time and space
folded into and upon itself.
But the most significant breach of all appears to be
this one.

And where exactly is that located?
It's here, inside S.T.A.R. Labs.
