"Hey, the air conditioning's busted." "The repairman's on his way." "Heat's not the problem." "Jimmy Swain is the problem." "Not for me, Vega." "It's your territory he's making a run at." "Listen." "Swain's got his torpedoes working the west side." "Once he soaks that up..." " ...he'll move in on Little Hong Kong." " In another month, we'll be squeezed out." "Swain'll have this whole city in his tight, dirty pocket." "I say we take him out now." "Send the message that no out-of-town punk is gonna move us out." " I agree." " The last thing we need is somebody screwing up the balance of power." "Somebody call for a repairman?" "Hello?" " Who is it?" " I'm here from Central City Air to repair the air conditioning." "Hi." "How you doing, sir?" "Air conditioner's on the fritz." "Make it cool in here." "Oh, don't you worry about a thing." "Cool is my specialty." " Hello." " Hey, Bar, sorry to wake you." " Julio."

"It's gotta be about 90 degrees out there." "How could this happen?" "From the positions of the bodies, they were killed trying to get away." "A sudden subzero drop in body temperature." "It could be liquid oxygen." "Or nitrogen maybe." "You'd have to drop the bodies in a vat of the stuff to get this effect." "These guys were frozen on the spot." "I don't know how."

"You know, I like the way you clean house." "I'm offering you a permanent position in my organization." "I'll pay you well." "Oh, that's very flattering of you, Mr. Swain, but you see one of the great pleasures of my job is the travel." "Have it your way." "The rest of your payment, as we agreed and I thank you." "Hey, listen." "There is one more little job I'd like for you to do before you leave town." "Oh, I'd really like to, but I have reservations in St. Tropez." "Yeah." "Work on that tan." "You're probably not the right guy for this job anyway." "It's a tough number." "A real challenge." "Oh, really?" " I'm listening." " Well, there's this guy in town I'm worried about." "He's put a lot of my peers out of business and I'd be very grateful if you'd put him on ice." "And who is this?" "He calls himself the Flash." "The Flash." " Anything new on those frozen bodies?"

"I'd like you to show her the crime lab and tell her what you do." "Lieutenant, we're very busy up in the crime lab at the moment." "We are all very busy, Allen but the chief's office thinks the publicity could be good for us." " Need I say more?" " No, sir." "Look, why don't we just let bygones be bygones and forget our little disagreement?" "What do you say?" "I'd better run those tissue samples to Star Labs but I'm sure Mr. Mendez will be happy to show you to the lab." "Sure, Barry." " Is he married?" " Excuse me." "I understand you're a reporter and you're doing a story on Central City's finest." " That's right." " Great." "Allow me to introduce myself." "I'm Officer Murphy, somewhat of a legend here in the police department." " I'll make myself available for interviews." " Thanks, that's very considerate of you."

"Let me run that tissue sample through my analysis equipment." "If I come up with anything..." " ..." "I'll let you know." " Thanks, Tina." "Well, I better get back to the crime lab."

"I have trouble making decisions." "Well, this is very nice, but really, it's not necessary." "All right, look, about the other night I acted like a jerk." "Well, I mean, not so much a jerk as much as I was just sort of pushy." "All right, actually, to tell you the truth, I was a jerk." "But it's my job." "I take it very seriously, and it makes me a little aggressive." "It's a problem, and I've been working on it." "I'm a lot better." "You should've seen me before."

"What do you know about the Flash?" "The Flash?" "Not much, why?" "Well, I have this theory." "I think that he's a member of the police department." "Really?" "What makes you say that?" "Well, come on, think about it." "Why can't they catch him?" "Because he knows every move they're gonna make." "It's because he's a cop." "Interesting theory." "I'm not sure I buy it." "I asked some of your fellow officers who they all thought the Flash was." "Everyone had a different answer." "You friend Julio even thought once that you were the Flash." "What's so funny?"

"This is Terri Kronenberg, she's a reporter." "Oh, yes." "I've heard about you." "This is Tina McGee, she's a scientist too." "Star Labs." "Sorry to interrupt."

"Move it, people!" " Let's go." " Bellows, what's going on?" "Some creep phoned in." "He left three packages with bombs in the city." " They're about to set off in five minutes." " Where?" "There's one at Central Books, one at..." "So you're a reporter." "That must be interesting." "And you're a scientist." "That must be dull." "Excuse me." "Don't touch that!" "Where is it?"

"But you know what?" "Even you can't outrun the cold hand of death." "Looks like we're gonna have to call this one a draw, huh?" "Until we meet again." " Still hurting, huh?" " Yeah, but it's better." "I'm telling you, the blast went through the suit like it wasn't even there." "Barry, I did some research last night." "I think I know where that weapon came from." "A company in California have been doing research in biological cryogenics." "The freezing of living organisms." "They developed a portable freezing unit powered by a lightweight nuclear module." "It can fire a blast that can lower a temperature to minus 200 degrees F at a range of 100 feet." "Six months ago, burglars broke in and stole it." "That's the weapon he was carrying." "Barry, I want you to consider something." "Last night was a trap." "Whoever set those bombs knew the Flash would race around to defuse them and the exertion would exhaust you." " I think you should lay low for a while." " Hide out till it's safe?" " I can't do that." " Barry, someone is trying to kill you!" "One blast could freeze you in your tracks before you even got close." "I'll just have to find him first." "Okay, but I want to be able to keep an eye on you." "I've implanted this mini transmitter in your suit's earpiece." "It'll allow me to track you." "If there's an emergency and your vital signs reach critical it'll trigger an alarm off here in the lab." "Thanks, Tina." "You know, I really do appreciate the concern." " Crime Lab, Allen speaking." " It's Fosnight." " What do you got?" " That guy that tried to frost the Flash is the same guy who threw the igloo pie at the St. Diogenes Club." "Yeah, no kidding." "What's his name?" "How about a nickname, Captain Cold." "Ex-mercenary, now he's a hit man." "Captain Cold?" "What's this guy look like?" "It's pretty hard to miss him." "He's an albino." "Don't let the pink eyes fool you, the guy's a stone killer." "Hit men have employers, right?" "Right." "There's a power play brewing in the underworld." "A punk from back east named Jimmy Swain is trying to move in." "He hired Cold to refrigerate the obstacles and that includes the Flash." "All right." "Thanks, Fosnight." "Oh, how much is this gonna cost me?" "You couldn't afford it, copper." "But the Flash is a pretty good egg, more or less, so this one's a giveaway." "Later, Allen." "Yeah." "The Inquisitor." ""Inquisitor has learned that police and scientists from Star Labs have joined forces to search for a killer with a nuclear-powered freeze weapon. "" "Here you go."

"You want to do a story about the Flash for the Inquisitor." " No, you don't understand." " The hell I don't." "You were pumping me for information last night." "Look, I have tried to get a job with the Clarion for two years." "I only work for the Inquisitor because they'd hire me." "The Flash is an alien?" "I figured if I could get a story on the Flash the Clarion would give me a chance." "Either you tell Lieutenant Garfield the truth or I will." "You're supposed to be low profile!" "What's next?" "Your own TV series?" "You said the Flash was gonna be dead in 24 hours." "What happened?" "Well, he was faster than I thought." "But don't worry about it." "Don't get upset." "It won't happen again." "I've built an electronic scanner that allows me to track anything moving through the city faster than 200 mph." "Next time he won't get away." "There's not gonna be a next time." "You're fired." " But we have a contract." " I'm canceling it." " You generate too much publicity." " What about the rest of my money?"

"No matter what." "Hey, Barry, where you been?" "We've got work to do." " The ice man struck again." " Where?" "Remember that guy you asked Bellows to locate, Jimmy Swain?" "He found him in an apartment at Bradbury Arms, frozen solid." " Jimmy Swain?" " That's not all." "Garfield got a call on another one." "Somebody found an iced stiff at the metalworks, it's on Sturgeon Street." " I'll take Sturgeon Street." " I'll take the Bradbury Arms then." "Gotcha!" "Great makeup, huh?"

"Hey, I'm sorry about what happened." "It's just that I" "Oh, look at what you've done!" "You ruined all my photos!" "I could've got 10,000 bucks for those pictures of you and Mr. Ice Cube here." " Thanks a lot." "There goes my career." " Wait a minute." "You had pictures of Captain Cold and you didn't call the police?" "They would've seen them on the front page of the Clarion." "I don't believe you!" "All you care about is your money and your career." "You almost got us killed!" " No, I didn't" " I didn't mean to" " You didn't mean to what?" "To be an unprincipled, manipulative brat who thinks truth is something to be twisted to get what you want?" "If you really wanna be a good reporter you have to learn to care about the truth." "And about people." "The police will be here for him." "Hey, Murph, did you hear the news?" " Looks like the Flash isn't dead after all." " What?" "Well, he captured that Captain Cold character at Terri Kronenberg's apartment." "I knew that frozen phony we found at the metalworks wasn't the real thing." "Murphy!"

"What's going on?" "It's a portable heating unit we've been experimenting with for work in Arctic conditions." "If you're hit with cold air, it instantaneously stabilizes your body temperature with a blast of heat." "With the temperatures that Captain Cold can create, it'll probably only work once." "Let's hope that once is all I'll need." "I've studied the properties of his freeze gun." "A reflective surface may bounce the ice beam away." "Thanks." "I'll remember." " Murphy!" " Yes, sir." "Did you search "Winter" before you put him in lockup?" " Absolutely." "Stem to stern" " Obviously, not good enough!" "You're on report!" "I always finish it, no matter what."

"I was a real louse, and I know it." "You were so nice and you trusted me and I lied to you." "There's really no excuse." "I was only thinking of myself, I wasn't even thinking of anybody else." "It's just that my job is important to me, and I really wanted to get a big story." "What?" "Friends of yours?" "Coming!" "Where you been?" "I been looking for you." "I tried calling you, the line was busy." "Okay." " All right, I get it." " No." "I came home because I'm sick." " What's up?" " Okay, we got a real crisis on our hands." "Captain Cold broke out of lockup and froze a city bus with passengers inside." "He called the station and said if the Flash didn't meet him, he'd let them freeze." " No sign of the Flash." " Where's the bus?" "It's on Poplar and Fourth." "Garfield thinks, with our knowledge, we can figure out how to stop this guy." "If that bus is frozen, those passengers won't last 10 minutes." " You go ahead." "I'll meet you there." " All right." " Whoa, this could be a big story." " You!" "Goodbye." " I'm coming with." " What do you mean?" " I've got work to do." " I can help!" "You could get hurt." "You don't understand." "Danger is my business." "Get down!" "What's the matter?" "Didn't you get to play in the snow when you were a kid?" "I like that, that's good." "You know, I knew you wouldn't turn down my little invitation." "I'm only here long enough to see that you're put back in jail where you belong." "Oh, really?" "Then why don't you just come and get me." "What's the matter?" "Oh, don't tell me, you're afraid of a little ice." "C'est la vie." "This time, I'm gonna use full power so you don't walk away again." "Maybe I'm warming up to you after all." "Those summer colds, they're the worst." "How'd you do it, Murphy?" " Do what, sir?" " You iced the ice man, didn't you?" " You mean, you didn't see...?" " See what, Murph?" "Come on, come on, I'm a reporter!" "Let me through!" "Murphy, when the paper gets ahold of this, you're gonna be a hero." " Me?" " Yeah." "Come on, tell us." "How'd you take down Captain Cold?" "Wasn't easy." "There he was, the man who'd brought Central City to its knees and there I was, Michael Francis Murphy the cop who put the law back in "law and order. "" "Only one of us was gonna walk away from that, so..." "Well, suddenly..." "Go on, Murph." "Nuts." "The truth is, I didn't do anything." "All I saw was a streak of red and a blaze of lightning." "Then it was the Flash." "You're just gonna have to read about that in my book." "My new book:" "The Scarlet Speedster and Me." "Somebody pinch me." " Murphy saw the Flash for himself." " I didn't say that." " But you just" " Wait a minute." "You'll have to read about it in the book." "In your case, the comic-book version, okay?" "That's it." "Lousy heat wave." "Okay, somebody call the coroner to pick this guy up before he melts." "On the other hand, maybe you better call the Good Humor man." "Lunch, anyone?" "Hello again." "Thai, Greek, Moroccan." "Sounds great." "Let's go." "You know I wanna thank you." "Between you and the Flash I've had to take a good hard look at myself and my career." " I quit my job at the Inquisitor." " You did?"

"I figure it'll keep me in cornflakes until I get a better job from a newspaper." "I think you made the right decision." "You know, I finally figured out who the Flash is." "You did?" "I still think he's a cop." "Someone you wouldn't suspect in a million years." "Really?" "He's a nice guy." "He's friendly, concerned, works at the crime lab." "The crime lab?" "Julio Mendez." "Julio?" "Oh, my God, really?" "Julio?" "The way I see it, he puts on a little makeup, a little padding under his suit." "That way he figures no one'll even suspect." "Oh, man, that is amazing." "I mean, who would have guessed, Julio?" "Yeah." "Well, his secret's safe with me." "After all, he did save my life." "Julio." "Want some couscous?" "No, thanks."
