They were Central City's
very first meta-threat.

- You work that case, too?

- Actually, no.

The first time
they pulled a job, I was...

Kind of under the weather.

It's weird. Their MO is

stealing cash from casinos,
not microchips.

- Well, at least no one
was killed.

This time.

- Everything okay, Captain?

- This is the kind of case

but what I'd like to do
is start

with last night's break-in
at Mercury Labs.

- It's not news,
not in this city.

- It's a high-tech theft
at a huge R&D corporation.

- Which happens
all the time in this town.

Was anyone killed...
- No.

- Was the Flash involved...
- No, he isn't.

- Tragedy sells papers, folks.
- But--

- Sorry.
- That's not the point.

- We should look into
the rumors of embezzlement

inside the mayor's office.

Scooping a major scandal
before our competition...

- Will make Iris happy.

Get in touch with someone
at the mayor's office.

- I got 1,000 words to finish

on the Sharks' new GM
for Iris, too.

- Wait, what 1,000 words?

- Well, I know the mayor's
executive assistant.

We were in the same undergrad
sorority...

- I need someone on this
Mercury break-in.

- So she'll tell me everything.
- Uh, Vanya,

I really need you to run
with this tech heist.

- I'm gonna follow up on the
Calvert collision this morning.

My source in
the county planner's office

says it's gonna cost several
million to repair the damage.

Talk about a budget crisis.

Plus, that is what
Iris would want.

- Iri--hold on.
Wait, you guys.

Seriously?

- We found this
at the train collision site.

- I thought Kramer
had you working

on the Mercury heist instead?

- Uh, yeah. I am.
- You are,

but you think that it's related
to the Calvert train collision?

- I will know in a minute.

While working evidence
from the Mercury Labs heist,

I found charred marks
on the guard's weapons,

marks exactly like those.

Yeah, I was right.

Heat signature's the same

as the burn marks on
the weapons at Mercury Labs.

Laser burns delivered
with pinpoint precision,

Jack's trademarks.

- Okay, okay.

Even if it is
the Royal Flush Gang

behind all of this, why?

Why would they
go through all the trouble

of causing
a massive railway collision

when they haven't
even stolen anything yet?

- I asked myself that, too.

Then I found out what was
being carried in this case.

A bleeding-edge beryllium core

which is a highly unstable
power source.

- And that's what caused
the trains to explode.

- No.
A beryllium-based detonation

would've leveled
a surrounding 10-mile radius.

- [gasp]

The core wasn't in the case
when the trains collided.

- Which means,
the real question is,

why is the Royal Flush Gang

changing their MO
to become tech thieves?

[door creaks]

Korber, what's going on?

- Iron Heights just lost power

survived Iron Heights,

Your articles speak to people
because you're one of them.

It's also how CCC Media
speaks to the city

so strongly.

- Okay, but being a journalist

and being in charge
are way different.

Why don't you tell me

I came a long way

you found one.

This isn't your fight, Atom.

Bear witness

No!

- Man, whatever you did...
- Anytime, Flash.

- Hey.
- Hey, you guys okay?

- Yeah.

- Where'd that thing go?

- I don't know.

- Barry, you know
you're not destined

to destroy the world, right?

- Yeah, I know, but the visions

Despero showed me
seemed so real,

and he said, our world.

- But what does that even mean?

- I don't know, yet.

- What if
he's mind-punking you?

Like how he made
you and Ray see

an illusion during your fight.

- I don't think he was.

Every test I've run on Barry
shows

that he's completely fine,
mentally and physically.

- Well, I scanned
the residual feelings

that Despero left behind
inside your mind,

and there was no doubt
Despero was telling the truth.

He really did see those things.

- Which means everyone's
in danger.

- No.

No, there's no way that you're
the bad guy in this situation.

What we need to do right now
is find out the truth.

- I have a bad feeling
it's gonna find us

once Despero gets back
from wherever Ray sent him.

- Yeah, well,

the tech inside his belt
was so complex,

I could barely recognize
the navigation system.

So instead of sending him
to a specific location,

I tried a random setting.

Who knows where he went?

- Or when he's coming back.

- Barr, how do we beat
a ten-foot-tall red alien

who thinks like Grodd
and punches like Fuerza?

- By figuring out
what kind of alien he is.

Get that,
you may have some idea

of what his weaknesses are.

- Like Kryptonians...
- And kryptonite.

- Great idea. I'll call Alex
in National City.

- Yeah, so what do we do?

- Well, he took our best shots
like they were nothing.

- We need to be ready.
- For what?

- The fight of our lives.

- Iris,

this account of Despero

fighting Flash and Atom
is amazing.

Is Barry okay?

- Yeah, it's just, Despero

is like no one
we've ever faced before.

Any notes?

- Just one.
Publish this now.

People need to read it.

You saw everything
and survived.

The city needs to know
it can too.

- By the way, I read
the revised articles

that you had Vanya,
Aariz, and Taylor write.

- And?

- We're going straight
to print with all of them.

quality work like this,

it must've gotten through.

but they're still not happy
with me.

- Are you sure you don't
need me to stick around?

Nora can handle any

supernatural emergencies
while I'm gone.

And like you said, Despero
could come back at any minute.

- It's okay, we're on it.

And if Despero
comes back again...

- The Atom will embiggen.
Yeah?

No?
All right.

Keep working on that one.
- No, it...

- Chester, what you did back
there at Jitters--

- It was a huge mistake,
I know.

- Was the best gift possible.

Between that and helping Barry
again as the Atom,

I have now realized
that there is

a middle ground to
this whole balance thing,

which is why
I want to return the favor.

So what if I created
a non-profit organization

to fund young scientists,
like your Jitters friends?

- [laughs]
That would be awesome.

- Great. I was thinking
I could call it,

the Quincy P. Runk Foundation,
if that's okay.

Barry told me
about your father.

Oh.
[laughs]

- Uh, yeah if you ever need,

like, a consultant
or anything like that.

Oh and Barry,

there's one sure way
to prove to Despero

that you'd never
destroy the world.

- What's that?

- Just show him
who you really are,

like you do with this team
each and every day.

♪

- Barry, we got
an alien signal coming in hot.

are you sure about this?

the only way

I'm not a threat is

Well, there's
no pleasure in that.

on another world,

we could've fought
side by side, you and I.

There's great strength
in you, Flash,

but I've seen your future.

The lives you take,
the betrayals you revel in.

You're the most dangerous kind

I'm not whatever

Or you can take
an innocent life

at stake.

Don't you see?

This is why I came back.

This is the purpose

I will end your existence.
