1. So call us here, our lines are open.
Now for a quick update...
Copy !req
2. here's Stan, the weatherman.
Copy !req
3. And get out your handkerchiefs.
We're in for another scorcher tomorrow.
Copy !req
4. Hot and humid, with the mercury
climbing into the 90s...
Copy !req
5. and there's no relief in sight.
Copy !req
6. Man! It must be over 100 degrees
in here!
Copy !req
7. Can't you do something about it?
Copy !req
8. Hey, the air conditioning's busted.
The repairman's on his way.
Copy !req
9. Heat's not the problem.
Jimmy Swain is the problem.
Copy !req
10. Not for me, Vega. It's your territory
he's making a run at.
Copy !req
11. Listen.
Copy !req
12. Swain's got his torpedoes working
the west side. Once he soaks that up...
Copy !req
13. he'll move in on Little Hong Kong.
- In another month, we'll be squeezed out.
Copy !req
14. Swain'll have this whole city
in his tight, dirty pocket.
Copy !req
15. I say we take him out now.
Copy !req
16. Send the message that no out-of-town punk
is gonna move us out.
Copy !req
17. - I agree.
- The last thing we need is somebody...
Copy !req
18. screwing up the balance of power.
Copy !req
19. Somebody call for a repairman?
Copy !req
20. Hello?
Copy !req
21. - Who is it?
- I'm here from Central City Air...
Copy !req
22. to repair the air conditioning.
Copy !req
23. Hi. How you doing, sir?
Copy !req
24. Air conditioner's on the fritz.
Make it cool in here.
Copy !req
25. Oh, don't you worry about a thing.
Cool is my specialty.
Copy !req
26. - Hello.
- Hey, Bar, sorry to wake you.
Copy !req
27. - Julio.
- I'm down in Helltown...
Copy !req
28. at the St. Diogenes Social Club.
Copy !req
29. I think you should get over here.
We got a weird one.
Copy !req
30. Move back here.
Copy !req
31. Come on. Over here.
Copy !req
32. Hey man, what's up?
Can you believe this heat?
Copy !req
33. I got something else
you won't believe.
Copy !req
34. - What's that?
- You'll see.
Copy !req
35. These guys are frozen solid.
Copy !req
36. It's gotta be about 90 degrees
out there.
Copy !req
37. How could this happen?
Copy !req
38. From the positions of the bodies,
they were...
Copy !req
39. killed trying to get away.
Copy !req
40. A sudden subzero drop
in body temperature.
Copy !req
41. It could be liquid oxygen.
Or nitrogen maybe.
Copy !req
42. You'd have to drop the bodies
in a vat of the stuff to get this effect.
Copy !req
43. These guys were frozen on the spot.
I don't know how.
Copy !req
44. Well, let me spur
your conjecturing, Allen.
Copy !req
45. Meet the late Nikolai Brown...
Copy !req
46. Ray McGill, Luis Vega...
Copy !req
47. and attempting to dial 911,
Johnny Choi.
Copy !req
48. - What?
- That's right.
Copy !req
49. Central City's criminal board of directors.
Copy !req
50. Combined, they control virtually
all the crime in this town. Or they did.
Copy !req
51. It must been serious for all them
to sit down together.
Copy !req
52. I need some answers. Fast.
Copy !req
53. I don't know if I got a quadruple homicide
or a freak of nature.
Copy !req
54. You have no right!
Ever hear of freedom of speech?
Copy !req
55. - This is closed to reporters.
- It's a violation of my rights!
Copy !req
56. Nobody crosses this line
without authorization.
Copy !req
57. All right! I get the message.
Copy !req
58. But your name's on my list,
Officer Bellows!
Copy !req
59. Oh, nice! Do you have any idea
how much a manicure costs these days?
Copy !req
60. - What were you doing?
- Trying to get past Dirty Harry...
Copy !req
61. not that it's any of your business.
Hey, you guys work for the crime lab?
Copy !req
62. - Yeah, not that it's any of your business.
- Right. This is great.
Copy !req
63. I hear you got couple of human
snow cones in there.
Copy !req
64. You give me exclusive,
I'll put your name in the paper.
Copy !req
65. - What do you say?
- Bellows!
Copy !req
66. Escort Lois Lane here back across police
barricade and make sure she stays there.
Copy !req
67. Yeah? How's this for a headline:
"Police rough up reporter."
Copy !req
68. Don't tempt me, lady. Let's go.
Copy !req
69. Your name is on my list too.
You got that? Watch yourself, ace!
Copy !req
70. I love it!
Copy !req
71. No more infighting over turf.
Copy !req
72. No more slicing the pie so thin you can't
even see the wedge on your plate.
Copy !req
73. From now on, this city is gonna be run
by a single entrepreneur: Me.
Copy !req
74. No, thank you.
Copy !req
75. You know, I like the way
you clean house.
Copy !req
76. I'm offering you a permanent position
in my organization. I'll pay you well.
Copy !req
77. Oh, that's very flattering of you,
Mr. Swain, but you see...
Copy !req
78. one of the great pleasures
of my job is the travel.
Copy !req
79. Have it your way.
Copy !req
80. The rest of your payment, as we agreed...
Copy !req
81. and I thank you.
Copy !req
82. Hey, listen.
Copy !req
83. There is one more little job I'd like
for you to do before you leave town.
Copy !req
84. Oh, I'd really like to,
but I have reservations in St. Tropez.
Copy !req
85. Yeah. Work on that tan.
Copy !req
86. You're probably not the right guy
for this job anyway.
Copy !req
87. It's a tough number.
Copy !req
88. A real challenge.
Copy !req
89. Oh, really?
Copy !req
90. - I'm listening.
- Well, there's this guy in town...
Copy !req
91. I'm worried about. He's put lot
of my peers out of business...
Copy !req
92. and I'd be very grateful if you'd...
Copy !req
93. put him on ice.
Copy !req
94. And who is this?
Copy !req
95. He calls himself...
Copy !req
96. the Flash.
Copy !req
97. The Flash.
Copy !req
98. - Anything new on those frozen bodies?
- No. The coroner hasn't got a clue.
Copy !req
99. I'll have Tina run a tissue sample
through Star Labs.
Copy !req
100. - Any suspects?
- They could be aliens from the Earth's core.
Copy !req
101. - What?
- Like the Flash.
Copy !req
102. Julio, come on,
you don't really read this rag, do you?
Copy !req
103. You gotta wrap the fish
in something, right?
Copy !req
104. Mendez! Allen!
Copy !req
105. Almost got away.
Copy !req
106. Gentlemen, this is Terri Kronenberg,
a reporter for The Daily Clarion.
Copy !req
107. Ms. Kronenberg, Julio Mendez,
Barry Allen, our forensic scientists.
Copy !req
108. Yes, Mr. Allen and I have already met.
How's your foot?
Copy !req
109. Just fine. How's your hand?
Copy !req
110. Ms. Kronenberg
is on special assignment...
Copy !req
111. to do a series of articles about
the police. The mayor's office asked us...
Copy !req
112. to extend every courtesy.
Copy !req
113. I'd like you to show her the crime lab
and tell her what you do.
Copy !req
114. Lieutenant, we're very busy up
in the crime lab at the moment.
Copy !req
115. We are all very busy, Allen...
Copy !req
116. but the chief's office thinks
the publicity could be good for us.
Copy !req
117. - Need I say more?
- No, sir.
Copy !req
118. Look, why don't we just...
Copy !req
119. let bygones be bygones
and forget our little disagreement?
Copy !req
120. What do you say?
Copy !req
121. I'd better run those tissue samples
to Star Labs...
Copy !req
122. but I'm sure Mr. Mendez
will be happy to show you to the lab.
Copy !req
123. Sure, Barry.
Copy !req
124. - Is he married?
- Excuse me.
Copy !req
125. I understand you're a reporter and you're
doing a story on Central City's finest.
Copy !req
126. - That's right.
- Great. Allow me to introduce myself.
Copy !req
127. I'm Officer Murphy, somewhat
of a legend here in the police department.
Copy !req
128. - I'll make myself available for interviews.
- Thanks, that's very considerate of you.
Copy !req
129. I was thinking perhaps
over dinner maybe...
Copy !req
130. I could tell you cop stories that would
make Jack the Ripper look like a musical.
Copy !req
131. A musical comedy.
Copy !req
132. Yes, no doubt. Why don't you just write
your adventures down...
Copy !req
133. and I'll read them
when you're done.
Copy !req
134. Why not?
Copy !req
135. Why not?
Copy !req
136. "Michael Francis Murphy:
Copy !req
137. Dedicated cop, hard-hitting novelist."
Copy !req
138. No. "Hard-hitting cop, unsparing author."
Copy !req
139. Murphy, this is great.
Copy !req
140. - I thought you had theory to run past me.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
141. - You know spontaneous combustion?
- When thing seem to burst...
Copy !req
142. into flames on their own.
- Exactly. Well...
Copy !req
143. I was thinking this might be that,
only opposite.
Copy !req
144. No one knows that spontaneous
combustion really happens.
Copy !req
145. It's just a theory.
Copy !req
146. And I've never heard
of spontaneous freezing.
Copy !req
147. But there must be
some rational explanation.
Copy !req
148. Let me run that tissue sample
through my analysis equipment.
Copy !req
149. If I come up with anything...
Copy !req
150. I'll let you know.
- Thanks, Tina.
Copy !req
151. Well, I better get back to the crime lab.
Hopefully Ms. Kronenberg will be gone.
Copy !req
152. Dinner, anyone?
Copy !req
153. - Hello.
- I heard you might be working late...
Copy !req
154. I thought you might be hungry.
So I've got Chinese, Italian and Mexican.
Copy !req
155. I have trouble making decisions.
Copy !req
156. Well, this is very nice,
but really, it's not necessary.
Copy !req
157. All right, look, about the other night...
Copy !req
158. I acted like a jerk.
Copy !req
159. Well, I mean, not so much a jerk
as much as I was just sort of pushy.
Copy !req
160. All right, actually, to tell you the truth,
I was a jerk.
Copy !req
161. But it's my job. I take it very seriously,
and it makes me a little aggressive.
Copy !req
162. It's a problem,
and I've been working on it.
Copy !req
163. I'm a lot better.
You should've seen me before.
Copy !req
164. It's a trait, it runs in my family. So, what
I'm trying to say here is I'm sorry, okay?
Copy !req
165. Do you ever breathe?
Copy !req
166. - Yeah, that's another thing, I talk a lot.
- Oh, really? I hadn't noticed.
Copy !req
167. I guess I figure that if I let someone
else get a word in edgewise, well...
Copy !req
168. they're just gonna tell me I'm wrong.
My therapist says I'm insecure.
Copy !req
169. - I don't know, what do you think?
- I think it's okay to listen.
Copy !req
170. You know, you're smart.
Copy !req
171. I like brains in a man,
I think that's sexy.
Copy !req
172. I think maybe we should eat
before the food gets cold.
Copy !req
173. So.
Copy !req
174. What...?
What do you know about the Flash?
Copy !req
175. The Flash? Not much, why?
Copy !req
176. Well, I have this theory. I think that
he's a member of the police department.
Copy !req
177. Really? What makes you say that?
Copy !req
178. Well, come on, think about it.
Why can't they catch him?
Copy !req
179. Because he knows every move they're
gonna make. It's because he's a cop.
Copy !req
180. Interesting theory.
I'm not sure I buy it.
Copy !req
181. I asked some of your fellow officers
who they all thought the Flash was.
Copy !req
182. Everyone had a different answer.
Copy !req
183. You friend Julio even thought once
that you were the Flash.
Copy !req
184. What's so funny?
Copy !req
185. Well, you don't really strike me
as the type. You're not physical enough.
Copy !req
186. Well, I stay in shape.
Copy !req
187. Oh, no, no, no. Don't get me wrong.
You look terrific for a scientist.
Copy !req
188. Well, thank you.
Copy !req
189. Listen, why are you so interested
in the Flash anyway?
Copy !req
190. Well, he's news, you know. I would love
to get an interview with him.
Copy !req
191. Any reporter would.
Copy !req
192. Barry.
Copy !req
193. Tina. This is Terri Kronenberg,
she's a reporter.
Copy !req
194. Oh, yes. I've heard about you.
Copy !req
195. This is Tina McGee,
she's a scientist too. Star Labs.
Copy !req
196. Sorry to interrupt. I've just analyzed
the tissue and found something interesting.
Copy !req
197. - Would you excuse us a moment?
- Sure.
Copy !req
198. There was a low level of residual radiation.
Not too dangerous, but higher than normal.
Copy !req
199. What does it mean?
Copy !req
200. They were frozen by something that
uses nuclear energy as a power source.
Copy !req
201. - Sounds like some kind of weapon.
- It does, doesn't it?
Copy !req
202. All right, let's move.
Copy !req
203. Come on.
Copy !req
204. Move it, people!
Copy !req
205. - Let's go.
- Bellows, what's going on?
Copy !req
206. Some creep phoned in. He left three
packages with bombs in the city.
Copy !req
207. - They're about to set off in five minutes.
- Where?
Copy !req
208. There's one at Central Books, one at...
Copy !req
209. So you're a reporter.
That must be interesting.
Copy !req
210. And you're a scientist.
That must be dull. Excuse me.
Copy !req
211. Don't touch that!
Copy !req
212. Where is it?
Copy !req
213. Yeah, I knew if I raced you
all over town, you'd run out of steam.
Copy !req
214. You look pretty hot.
Copy !req
215. I think I'd better cool you off.
Copy !req
216. Oh, boy, you've got some
pretty good moves there, red.
Copy !req
217. But you know what?
Copy !req
218. Even you can't outrun
the cold hand of death.
Copy !req
219. Looks like we're gonna have
to call this one a draw, huh?
Copy !req
220. Until we meet again.
Copy !req
221. - Still hurting, huh?
- Yeah, but it's better.
Copy !req
222. I'm telling you, the blast went through
the suit like it wasn't even there.
Copy !req
223. Barry, I did some research last night.
Copy !req
224. I think I know where that weapon
came from.
Copy !req
225. A company in California have been
doing research in biological cryogenics.
Copy !req
226. The freezing of living organisms.
Copy !req
227. They developed
a portable freezing unit...
Copy !req
228. powered by
a lightweight nuclear module.
Copy !req
229. It can fire a blast that can lower
a temperature to minus 200 degrees F...
Copy !req
230. at a range of 100 feet.
Copy !req
231. Six months ago, burglars broke in
and stole it.
Copy !req
232. That's the weapon he was carrying.
Copy !req
233. Barry, I want you to consider something.
Copy !req
234. Last night was a trap.
Copy !req
235. Whoever set those bombs knew the Flash
would race around to defuse them...
Copy !req
236. and the exertion would exhaust you.
Copy !req
237. - I think you should lay low for a while.
- Hide out till it's safe?
Copy !req
238. - I can't do that.
- Barry, someone is trying to kill you!
Copy !req
239. One blast could freeze you in your tracks
before you even got close.
Copy !req
240. I'll just have to find him first.
Copy !req
241. Okay, but I want to be able
to keep an eye on you.
Copy !req
242. I've implanted this mini transmitter
in your suit's earpiece.
Copy !req
243. It'll allow me to track you.
Copy !req
244. If there's emergency
and your vital signs reach critical...
Copy !req
245. it'll trigger an alarm off
here in the lab.
Copy !req
246. Thanks, Tina.
Copy !req
247. You know, I really do appreciate
the concern.
Copy !req
248. - Crime Lab, Allen speaking.
- It's Fosnight.
Copy !req
249. - What have you got?
- That guy that tried to frost the Flash...
Copy !req
250. is the same guy who threw
the igloo pie at the St. Diogenes Club.
Copy !req
251. Yeah, no kidding. What's his name?
Copy !req
252. How about a nickname,
Captain Cold.
Copy !req
253. Ex-mercenary, now he's a hit man.
Copy !req
254. Captain Cold?
What's this guy look like?
Copy !req
255. It's pretty hard to miss him.
He's an albino.
Copy !req
256. Don't let the pink eyes fool you,
the guy's a stone killer.
Copy !req
257. Hit men have employers, right?
Copy !req
258. Right. There's a power play
brewing in the underworld.
Copy !req
259. A punk from back east named
Jimmy Swain is trying to move in.
Copy !req
260. He hired Cold
to refrigerate the obstacles...
Copy !req
261. and that includes the Flash.
Copy !req
262. All right. Thanks, Fosnight.
Oh, how much is this gonna cost me?
Copy !req
263. You couldn't afford it, copper.
Copy !req
264. But the Flash is a pretty good egg,
more or less, so this one's a giveaway.
Copy !req
265. Later, Allen.
Copy !req
266. The Inquisitor.
Copy !req
267. "Inquisitor has learned that police
and scientists from Star Labs...
Copy !req
268. have joined forces to search
for a killer...
Copy !req
269. with a nuclear-powered
freeze weapon."
Copy !req
270. Here you go.
Copy !req
271. "Murphy's Law: The true story
of Michael Francis Murphy...
Copy !req
272. the cop who saved Central City"?
Copy !req
273. - My eyes only, Bellows. My eyes only!
- What are you doing?
Copy !req
274. Writing the first of a long line
of bestselling novels...
Copy !req
275. that'll allow me to be the guy
in the hammock with a blue drink...
Copy !req
276. on the French Riviera.
- When did you save Central City?
Copy !req
277. It's called dramatic license.
Copy !req
278. I had a different word for it, see?
Copy !req
279. - Where's Terri Kronenberg?
- I last saw her in Garfield's office.
Copy !req
280. - Something wrong?
- I'll handle it.
Copy !req
281. I need an address on Jimmy Swain.
He's a criminal from out of town.
Copy !req
282. All right.
Copy !req
283. - Did you write this?
- Me?
Copy !req
284. Whatever gave you that idea?
Copy !req
285. You're the only one
who could've heard us talking last night.
Copy !req
286. Well, l...
Copy !req
287. I called the Clarion, they never heard
of you. Neither did the mayor's office.
Copy !req
288. You're not here to do a story.
That just a scam. What's it really about?
Copy !req
289. Call the Department of Public Affairs.
Copy !req
290. - I'm sure that they...
- The Flash!
Copy !req
291. That's it, isn't it? You want to do a story
about the Flash for the Inquisitor.
Copy !req
292. - No, you don't understand.
- The hell I don't.
Copy !req
293. You were pumping me
for information last night.
Copy !req
294. Look, I have tried to get a job
with the Clarion for two years.
Copy !req
295. I only work for the Inquisitor
because they'd hire me.
Copy !req
296. The Flash is an alien?
Copy !req
297. I figured if I could get story
on the Flash...
Copy !req
298. the Clarion would give me a chance.
Copy !req
299. Either you tell Lieutenant Garfield
the truth...
Copy !req
300. or I will.
Copy !req
301. You're supposed to be low profile!
Copy !req
302. What's next? Your own TV series?
Copy !req
303. You said the Flash was gonna be dead
in 24 hours. What happened?
Copy !req
304. Well, he was faster than I thought.
Copy !req
305. But don't worry about it.
Don't get upset.
Copy !req
306. It won't happen again.
Copy !req
307. I've built an electronic scanner...
Copy !req
308. that allows me to track anything moving
through the city faster than 200 mph.
Copy !req
309. Next time he won't get away.
Copy !req
310. There's not gonna be a next time.
You're fired.
Copy !req
311. - But we have a contract.
- I'm canceling it.
Copy !req
312. - You generate too much publicity.
- What about the rest of my money?
Copy !req
313. The other half was on delivery.
You didn't deliver.
Copy !req
314. Okay. If that's the way you want it.
Copy !req
315. By the way...
Copy !req
316. I have something for you,
a little gift. It's...
Copy !req
317. I always give one to my customers
at the end of every job.
Copy !req
318. It's...
Copy !req
319. for good luck.
Copy !req
320. Just to show there's no hard feelings.
Copy !req
321. See you around.
Copy !req
322. You know...
Copy !req
323. that's the trouble with the world
these days, Mr. Swain.
Copy !req
324. People have forgotten
about honor and commitment.
Copy !req
325. Nobody cancels a contract with me.
Copy !req
326. Once I take a job, I always finish it.
Copy !req
327. No matter what.
Copy !req
328. Hey, Barry, where you been?
We've got work to do.
Copy !req
329. - The ice man struck again.
- Where?
Copy !req
330. Remember that guy you asked
Bellows to locate, Jimmy Swain?
Copy !req
331. He found him in an apartment
at Bradbury Arms, frozen solid.
Copy !req
332. - Jimmy Swain?
- That's not all.
Copy !req
333. Garfield got a call on another one.
Somebody found an iced stiff...
Copy !req
334. at the metalworks,
it's on Sturgeon Street.
Copy !req
335. - I'll take Sturgeon Street.
- I'll take the Bradbury Arms then.
Copy !req
336. Gotcha! Great makeup, huh?
I feel sort of like a Christmas tree.
Copy !req
337. - Are you out of your mind?
- Hi, I'm Terri Kronenberg, I'm a reporter.
Copy !req
338. I know you're a very busy guy. I only
need five minutes for an interview, okay?
Copy !req
339. It's important to me, and I'm sure
you won't mind. What's the deal?
Copy !req
340. - Do you sleep in the suit or wear pajamas?
- Get these cuffs off of me.
Copy !req
341. Not till I get my interview.
Copy !req
342. Will you give me the key,
or do I have to search you?
Copy !req
343. That sounds like fun,
but I don't have it on me.
Copy !req
344. I hid it somewhere in the city.
Either give me my interview...
Copy !req
345. or we can search the city.
- I've got a better option:
Copy !req
346. Hypothermia.
Copy !req
347. Hey.
Copy !req
348. Hey, get up. Get up!
Copy !req
349. Sorry.
Copy !req
350. This just isn't your night.
Copy !req
351. Barry! My God!
Copy !req
352. Where are you?
Copy !req
353. Sorry. No witnesses.
Copy !req
354. - Clarion.
- Hi, I need to talk to the news editor.
Copy !req
355. - Sorry, he's gone home for the day.
- You'd better find him, and fast.
Copy !req
356. Tell him to dig out his checkbook.
Copy !req
357. Somebody just killed the Flash,
and I got pictures of it.
Copy !req
358. Come on, let's go!
Get the body to Forensics fast!
Copy !req
359. Let's go!
Copy !req
360. Get it in there!
Copy !req
361. Perfect! Bellows, inside! Come on!
Copy !req
362. - Give me a hand over here.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
363. - Over here.
- I got it.
Copy !req
364. - National Inquisitor.
- Yes, this is Hogan Film Labs.
Copy !req
365. We have a rush delivery
for one of your reporters...
Copy !req
366. a Miss Terri Kronenberg.
Copy !req
367. We seem to have misplaced the address.
Copy !req
368. You can't die. I won't let you die.
Copy !req
369. Damn it, Barry! Come on!
Copy !req
370. Why wouldn't you listen to me, Barry?
Why?
Copy !req
371. Come on, Barry!
Copy !req
372. Tina.
Copy !req
373. Barry?
Copy !req
374. I thought you were dead.
Copy !req
375. It's so cold.
Copy !req
376. Why am I alive?
Copy !req
377. Your high-speed metabolism
must have saved you.
Copy !req
378. I could see everything.
Copy !req
379. He was standing over me, grinning.
And then...
Copy !req
380. he went for Terri.
Copy !req
381. - Terri Kronenberg? She was there?
- He's gonna kill her.
Copy !req
382. - You're in no shape...
- Just call the station.
Copy !req
383. Tell them to get to her apartment.
Copy !req
384. Miss Kronenberg?
It's Jason from Central City Courier.
Copy !req
385. Here to pick up your pictures.
Copy !req
386. I told the Clarion not to pick them up
for another hour.
Copy !req
387. Well, I can't wait. I'm here.
Copy !req
388. You ordered some ice?
Copy !req
389. What's the matter?
Don't you wanna come out and play?
Copy !req
390. I'm here to take you
to the Ice Capades.
Copy !req
391. I'll huff and I'll puff...
Copy !req
392. and I'll freeze all your stuff.
Copy !req
393. I know you're in there,
I can smell your cheap perfume.
Copy !req
394. Are you hiding in the shower?
Copy !req
395. The ice man cometh.
Copy !req
396. Hello there.
Copy !req
397. - You're alive.
- No thanks to you.
Copy !req
398. Hey, I'm sorry about what happened.
It's just that l...
Copy !req
399. Oh, look at what you've done!
Copy !req
400. You ruined all my photos!
Copy !req
401. I could've got 10,000 bucks
for those pictures of you...
Copy !req
402. and Mr. Ice Cube here.
Copy !req
403. - Thanks a lot. There goes my career.
- Wait a minute.
Copy !req
404. You had pictures of Captain Cold
and you didn't call the police?
Copy !req
405. They would've seen them
on the front page of the Clarion.
Copy !req
406. I don't believe you!
Copy !req
407. All you care about is your money
and your career. You almost got us killed!
Copy !req
408. - No, I didn't... I didn't mean to...
- You didn't mean to what?
Copy !req
409. To be an unprincipled,
manipulative brat...
Copy !req
410. who thinks truth is something
to be twisted to get what you want?
Copy !req
411. If you really wanna be
a good reporter...
Copy !req
412. you have to learn to care
about the truth. And about people.
Copy !req
413. The police will be here for him.
Copy !req
414. Hey, Murph, did you hear the news?
Copy !req
415. - Looks like the Flash isn't dead after all.
- What?
Copy !req
416. Well, he captured
that Captain Cold character...
Copy !req
417. at Terri Kronenberg's apartment.
Copy !req
418. I knew that frozen phony we found
at the metalworks wasn't the real thing.
Copy !req
419. Murphy!
Copy !req
420. Would you mind putting
your memoirs away long enough...
Copy !req
421. to escort the prisoner to lockup?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
422. - All right, iceberg, let's move it.
- Easy now.
Copy !req
423. I'm gonna need your glasses.
Copy !req
424. My eyes are very sensitive
to the light.
Copy !req
425. Well, then keep them shut.
I need your glasses.
Copy !req
426. If you wish.
Copy !req
427. No...
Copy !req
428. you keep them.
Copy !req
429. "There I stood, face to face
with the madman known as the Ghost.
Copy !req
430. He had kidnapped my girl,
killed my partner...
Copy !req
431. and shot my dog.
Copy !req
432. Now it was time for him to learn
the real meaning of Murphy's Law."
Copy !req
433. Hey, hey, hey!
That's private property, huh?
Copy !req
434. Come on. You'll have to wait
for the hardcover edition...
Copy !req
435. like the rest of the world.
Copy !req
436. Don't you have doughnuts to eat
and coffee to ruin? Come on.
Copy !req
437. I had no idea you were such a hero.
I mean, with a guy like you around...
Copy !req
438. who needs the Flash?
Copy !req
439. You'll laugh on the other side of your badge
when I sell those movie rights, pal.
Copy !req
440. Hey, you.
Copy !req
441. "Hey, you"?
Copy !req
442. Hey, what are you doing?
What's going on?
Copy !req
443. It's a portable heating unit
we've been experimenting with...
Copy !req
444. for work in Arctic conditions.
Copy !req
445. If you're hit with cold air,
it instantaneously stabilizes...
Copy !req
446. your body temperature
with a blast of heat.
Copy !req
447. With the temperatures that Captain Cold
can create, it'll probably only work once.
Copy !req
448. Let's hope that once is all I'll need.
Copy !req
449. I've studied the properties
of his freeze gun.
Copy !req
450. A reflective surface
may bounce the ice beam away.
Copy !req
451. Thanks. I'll remember.
Copy !req
452. - Murphy!
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
453. Did you search "Winter"
before you put him in lockup?
Copy !req
454. - Absolutely. Stem to stern...
- Obviously, not good enough!
Copy !req
455. You're on report!
Copy !req
456. I always finish it, no matter what.
Copy !req
457. Come on, you don't have
to prove anything to anybody.
Copy !req
458. Because of me, he escaped.
I'm the guy that screwed up.
Copy !req
459. Boy, were you right, that Murphy's Law.
More like Murphy's Guffaw.
Copy !req
460. - I didn't say that.
- The only way I'm gonna redeem myself...
Copy !req
461. is to turn Frosty the Snowman
into a puddle.
Copy !req
462. Tina, listen, I'm okay, all right?
I have a little cold, that's all.
Copy !req
463. Well, you don't sound okay.
Copy !req
464. Stay in bed and take care of yourself.
No thrashing around...
Copy !req
465. - ... or you'll get pneumonia.
- Yes, mom.
Copy !req
466. I am not your mother!
Copy !req
467. Listen, I'm not feeling very well.
Could you come back later?
Copy !req
468. Barry, I really need to talk to you.
This is just gonna take a minute.
Copy !req
469. All right, here goes.
Copy !req
470. I was a real louse, and I know it.
Copy !req
471. You were so nice
and you trusted me...
Copy !req
472. and I lied to you.
There's really no excuse.
Copy !req
473. I was only thinking of myself,
I wasn't even thinking of anybody else.
Copy !req
474. It's just that my job is so important to me,
and I really wanted to get a big story.
Copy !req
475. What?
Copy !req
476. Friends of yours?
Copy !req
477. Coming!
Copy !req
478. Where you been? I been looking for you.
I tried calling you, the line was busy.
Copy !req
479. Okay.
Copy !req
480. - All right, I get it.
- No. I came home because I'm sick.
Copy !req
481. - What's up?
- Okay, we got a real crisis on our hands.
Copy !req
482. Captain Cold broke out of lockup and
froze a city bus with passengers inside.
Copy !req
483. He called the station and said if the Flash
didn't meet him, he'd let them freeze.
Copy !req
484. - No sign of the Flash.
- Where's the bus?
Copy !req
485. It's on Poplar and Fourth.
Copy !req
486. Garfield thinks, with our knowledge,
we can figure out how to stop this guy.
Copy !req
487. If that bus is frozen, those passengers
won't last 10 minutes.
Copy !req
488. - You go ahead. I'll meet you there.
- All right.
Copy !req
489. - Whoa, this could be a big story.
- You! Goodbye.
Copy !req
490. - I'm coming with.
- What do you mean?
Copy !req
491. - I've got work to do.
- I can help!
Copy !req
492. You could get hurt.
Copy !req
493. You don't understand.
Danger is my business.
Copy !req
494. Get down!
Copy !req
495. What's the matter? Didn't you get to play
in the snow when you were a kid?
Copy !req
496. I like that, that's good.
Copy !req
497. You know, I knew you wouldn't
turn down my little invitation.
Copy !req
498. I'm only here long enough to see that
you're put back in jail where you belong.
Copy !req
499. Oh, really?
Copy !req
500. Then why don't you just come
and get me.
Copy !req
501. What's the matter?
Copy !req
502. Oh, don't tell me,
you're afraid of a little ice.
Copy !req
503. C'est la vie.
Copy !req
504. This time, I'm gonna use full power...
Copy !req
505. so you don't walk away again.
Copy !req
506. Maybe I'm warming up to you after all.
Copy !req
507. Those summer colds, they're the worst.
Copy !req
508. How'd you do it, Murphy?
Copy !req
509. - Do what, sir?
- You iced the ice man, didn't you?
Copy !req
510. - You mean, you didn't see...?
- See what, Murph?
Copy !req
511. Come on, come on, I'm a reporter!
Let me through!
Copy !req
512. Murphy, when the paper gets
ahold of this, you're gonna be hero.
Copy !req
513. - Me?
- Yeah. Come on, tell us.
Copy !req
514. How'd you take down Captain Cold?
Copy !req
515. Wasn't easy. There he was, the man
who'd brought Central City to its knees...
Copy !req
516. and there I was,
Michael Francis Murphy...
Copy !req
517. the cop who put the law
back in "law and order."
Copy !req
518. Only one of us was gonna
walk away from that, so...
Copy !req
519. Well, suddenly...
Copy !req
520. Go on, Murph.
Copy !req
521. Nuts. The truth is, I didn't do anything.
Copy !req
522. All I saw was a streak of red
and a blaze of lightning.
Copy !req
523. Then it was the Flash.
Copy !req
524. You're just gonna have to read
about that in my book. My new book:
Copy !req
525. The Scarlet Speedster and Me.
Copy !req
526. Somebody pinch me.
Copy !req
527. - Murphy saw the Flash for himself.
- I didn't say that.
Copy !req
528. - But you just...
- Wait a minute.
Copy !req
529. You'll have to read about it in the book.
In your case, the comic-book version, okay?
Copy !req
530. That's it.
Copy !req
531. Lousy heat wave.
Copy !req
532. Okay, somebody call the coroner
to pick this guy up before he melts.
Copy !req
533. On the other hand, maybe you better call
the Good Humor man.
Copy !req
534. Lunch, anyone?
Copy !req
535. Hello again.
Copy !req
536. Thai, Greek, Moroccan.
Copy !req
537. Sounds great. Let's go.
Copy !req
538. You know...
Copy !req
539. I wanna thank you.
Copy !req
540. Between you and the Flash, I've had to take
a good hard look at myself and my career.
Copy !req
541. - I quit my job at the Inquisitor.
- You did?
Copy !req
542. What are you gonna do?
Copy !req
543. You're looking at the newest writer for
the Happy Times Greeting Card Company.
Copy !req
544. "A card for every occasion."
Copy !req
545. Okay.
Copy !req
546. Roses are red
Violets are blue
Copy !req
547. If you don't pay our bill
Our company will sue
Copy !req
548. Congratulations, I think.
Copy !req
549. Well, at least it's honest.
Copy !req
550. I figure it'll keep me in cornflakes until
I get a better job from a newspaper.
Copy !req
551. I think you made the right decision.
Copy !req
552. You know, I finally figured out
who the Flash is.
Copy !req
553. You did?
Copy !req
554. I still think he's a cop. Someone you
wouldn't suspect in a million years.
Copy !req
555. Really?
Copy !req
556. He's a nice guy. He's friendly,
concerned, works at the crime lab.
Copy !req
557. The crime lab?
Copy !req
558. Julio Mendez.
Copy !req
559. Julio?
Copy !req
560. Oh, my God, really? Julio?
Copy !req
561. The way I see it, he puts on a little
makeup, a little padding under his suit.
Copy !req
562. That way he figures
no one'll even suspect.
Copy !req
563. Oh, man, that is amazing. I mean,
who would have guessed, Julio?
Copy !req
564. Yeah. Well, his secret's safe with me.
After all, he did save my life.
Copy !req
565. Julio. Want some couscous?
Copy !req
566. No, thanks.
Copy !req
567. You know, we were
just talking about you.
Copy !req
568. - Yeah, what about?
- We were wondering where you've been.
Copy !req
569. You know,
I was just out running around.
Copy !req
570. Yeah, we thought so.
Copy !req
