Finish Line


 * [H.R. has sacrificed himself to save Iris. Tracy rushes to him as he lays dying.]
 * Tracy: [distraught] No, no.
 * H.R.: It's... it's okay.
 * Tracy: Why are you doing this?
 * H.R.: I couldn't be the coward. I'm not a coward.
 * Tracy: We just found each other.
 * H.R.: I know. Our story will be brilliant. You... will be brilliant. You will be glorious, Tracy Brand. You will be. I've seen... seen it with my own eyes. I love you. [spasms] Oh, no. B.A.? B.A.
 * Barry: I'm right here.
 * H.R.: Will you tell Cisco... Please tell him... [whispers in Barry's ear] You tell him... for me?
 * Barry: Yeah.
 * H.R.: Good. Now... go stop Savitar. [winks]
 * [H.R. dies.]


 * Barry: I want to help you.
 * Savitar: Really?
 * Barry: You don't have much time before the paradox reaches you. Come back to S.T.A.R Labs. Let Cisco and Caitlin go, and let us figure out a way to save you.
 * Savitar: You really think I trust you?
 * Barry: You showed up. So you remember me coming here. Did I have any tricks up my sleeve? Was I... was I planning on blindsiding you?
 * Savitar: I dunno, Barry, maybe I just get off on watching you grovel.
 * Barry: No, I don't think that's it. I think you're hearing me. I'm still in there. Deep down, buried beneath the scars and the pain, that part of you that... it must feel so lonely. But it also knows what it's like to have a family. To have friends. You can have all that back. We can stop hurting each other. I remember when I was six and uh... I begged Mom and Dad to let me go to this science expo in Midway. And we got a flat tire on that dirt road. No spare. So we were towed to that garage in that tiny little one-street town. Of course, we were stuck there all day. Then we got ice cream, and French fries with gravy at that little diner. And then that night, we watched the local fireworks show. Actually turned out to be a great day. That's my favorite memory of Mom and Dad.
 * [During the story, Savitar's face softens and saddens as he remembers along with Barry.]
 * Barry: What was the name of that town?
 * Savitar: [softly] Masonville.
 * Barry: I'm still in there. Come home.


 * [Barry phases himself into Savitar's armor, forcing Savitar out.]
 * Barry: [from inside the armor] How does it feel? To get so close to your ascension, and end up on the ground?
 * Savitar: [understanding] Now I see. It's written.
 * Barry: Nothing's written.
 * [Barry and Savitar trade blows until Barry knocks him to his knees. Barry then extends a blade and prepares to impale Savitar.]
 * Savitar: DO IT!! You kill me, you become me. Either way... I live!
 * [Barry retracts the blade and destroys the armor.]
 * Barry: I'll never let the pain, the darkness, determine who I am. I will never be you.


 * [Iris gives the eulogy at H.R.'s funeral]
 * Iris: When I think of H.R., I'm reminded of a story that John Lennon once told. When Lennon was five years old, his teacher asked him to write down what he wanted to be when he grew up. Lennon wrote "Happy". His teacher said that he didn't understand the assignment, and Lennon said they didn't understand life. H.R. understood life. He wasn't a genius, and he didn't have super-speed. But when we needed him the most, he was a hero. He was my hero. [walks over to Joe]
 * Joe: [hugging Iris] Mine, too.
 * [Cisco places H.R.'s drumsticks on the gravestone.]
 * Julian: [to the casket] Good on ya, mate.
 * Wally: [to the casket] Thanks for believing in me, H.R.
 * [Barry takes Cisco aside.]
 * Barry: Hey, I've been looking for the right time to tell you.
 * Cisco: Tell me what?
 * Barry: Right before H.R. died, he asked me to give you a message.
 * [Flashback to H.R. whispering to Barry: "Tell Cisco this took strength, and he gave it to me."]
 * Barry: I know that you've had a connection with every Wells that we've met, but... I dunno, something about this Wells...
 * Cisco: Yeah. Something.


 * [Barry prepares to enter the Speed Force prison to save Central City from being destroyed.]
 * Iris: Barry, Wally and Jay said they were in Hell.
 * ''[A portal opens from the Speed Force, and Nora Allen appears.]
 * Joe: Barry, it's your mother.
 * Barry: That's the Speed Force.
 * Speed Force Nora Allen: Barry isn't going to Hell. But like all runners must eventually, he's reached his finish line. His race is over.
 * Iris: You can't take him with you.
 * Barry: She's not taking me anywhere. I have to go.
 * Iris: Why? Why are you being punished?
 * Barry: This, all of this, it started with my mistake. With Flashpoint. This is my penance. This is my redemption.
 * Speed Force Nora Allen: My beautiful boy. It's time to rest.
