Previously onSupergirl...

We need humans
protecting humans.

I mean, when
the Founding Fathers said,

"All men are created equal."

They meant men.
They didn't mean some roach
from the vacuum of space.

How would you like to be
my next Director
of Alien Affairs?

I wanted
to pitch you a story.
It's about L-Corp.

My source caught rumors
of a "black budget."

If I'm supposed to fight,
I need to know what
I'm capable of.

Who put wood chips
in my coffee cup?

I thought
that's what Dryads ate.

Manchester is baiting me.

I want to be a man of peace,

but every fiber of my being
is fighting against that.

Are you considering
picking the sword
back up again?

Where's my ring?

This is the era
of the Elite.

Cat in a tree, bank robbers,
all yours.

But the racists, the fascists,
the Children of Liberty...

That's our department.

Clear eyes, full tums,
can't lose.

Just so long as
after this hater goes down,

we get back
to the real task at hand.

This is the real task at hand.

-Hmm.

Real small task is right.

Friends, I promise
tonight's job

will very much be in the spirit
of our revolutionary mission.

Right. Now,
let's sync our watches,

so we can meet up
you know where,
you know when.

-See you on the other side.
-Mmm-hmm.

Maybe a little snack first.

Menagerie.

Were you going after
that nice lady?

Girl's gotta eat.

-Where are the Elite?
-Like I'd tell you.

Tell us or eat this.

Hey, Dreamer. Easy.

I thought that you said
being a superhero was
about showing strength.

Well, I meant more
"hands on hips,"

not "screaming in face."

Gotcha.

The Elite can't run forever.

Tell us where they are,
and we might go easy on you.

If you touch one scale
on my body,

my friends might transport you
to a Fifth Dimension of pain.

Last chance.

Where is Manchester?

It is
with great humility

that I accept
this presidential appointment

as your new Director
of the Bureau of Alien Affairs.

This appointment will signal
the dawning of a new day.

A day in which human beings
need no longer live in fear

of aliens or
their random acts of--

Say cheers to my little friend.

How's it looking out there?

Supergirl.

You saved our lives.

There!

Time to go, mate.

-What? But I nearly got him.
-Nearly will have to do.

Hi, Mr. Olsen.

Hey, Eve. Thanks for coming in.

Coffee, two sugars,
just how you like.

You remembered.
Thank you, that's very kind.

Hey, anything for
my favorite ex-boss.

Don't tell Ms. Grant
I said that.

-I most certainly will.

So what did you want
to see me about?

Uh, I just wanted
to ask you a few questions,
if that's okay.

Sure.

Please, um...

So, uh, a few weeks ago,

I had a report put on my desk,

um...

That detailed
a black budget at L-Corp.

Normally, I would be
digging into this myself,

but I figured with the nature
of your relationship there...

You figured
you'd ask me first?

It's probably easier.

Um...

Obviously, this is something
I'm going to have to talk about

with Ms. Luthor.

But there's nothing
to worry about.

The black budget
is a tool we use

to shield proprietary science
from our competitors.

So nothing's off?

Mr. Olsen, you and Ms. Luthor
are in a rough patch.

Look at it out there.

Lena's trying to help
make that reality better.

Still, with her approval,

I will email you the budget,
so you can see for yourself.

But I promise,
we're one of the good guys.

-Thank you, Eve.
-Of course.

Ms. Luthor.

I was just informed
that you're refusing
to test my volunteers.

Is this true?

Yes.

The serum's purification level
is still below 90%.

At this point, human trials
are too great a risk.

-I disagree.
-Well, that's not
your decision.

Tensions in
this nation are high.

To keep the peace,

I need my soldiers
to be as strong and
as fast as they can be.

I need them super.

And I understand that,

but rushing science
is not the answer.

Time is a luxury
we do not have.

Don't you think I know that?

I want this serum
as quickly as you do,

but I refuse to rush anything
that may kill your agents.

Soldiers take risks every day.

I just need more time.

Fine.

But remember,
you were hired to do a job.

Do it.

Ms. Luthor, I need
to tell you something.

Eve, can we discuss this later?

Today, this is
the only thing that matters.

Okay.

I circled the Earth twice
east to west.

North to south for me. And?

No sign of the Elite anywhere.

I should have dealt
with this Manchester business
when I had the chance.

You brought him to the police.
What more could you do?

Now, the Elite is as bad
as Lockwood and
his Liberty fanatics.

Look, all that matters now
is that we find them

and we end this.

A classic superhero speech.

Just, first, we should really
do something about Menagerie.

There's only so much
footwear advice I can take.

Gucci all day
and Prada all night.

You can't do this.

Supergirl left us a present.

And a note.

Says, "You're welcome."

Well, she did manage
to take down one
of the Elite

and stop Lockwood's
assassination in a day.

Then it sounds like
you've got some breathing room.

Which is a good thing.

The president asked me
to reassign you to
a security detail.

Security? Whose?

Mine.

But please don't worry,
Director Danvers.

I, uh...
I come in peace.

Guard Ben Lockwood?

You can't be serious.

The president doesn't joke.

Lockwood is a murderer.

The only ones that
should be watching
over him are prison guards.

Director, you swore
to keep this country safe.

Protecting Ben Lockwood
does just that.

Now, extremists are
out to kill him.

And if they succeed,
we will have a revolution
on our hands.

There are other
qualified agents.

No one has more experience
dealing with hostile
extra-terrestrials than you.

And the president knows it.

If you've got an issue
doing your job,

you need to
take it up with him.

Well, looks like
you're stuck with me.

Press conference at 10:00.
Shall we?

Does it usually take this long?

The dreaming?

Her handling of the dreamscape
is getting faster,

but the Elite
could be anywhere.

Have you told her
she doesn't have to
wear the suit in private?

It's just a phase.

I did the same thing
when I became Supergirl.

I practically slept in my suit.

And, I mean, let's face it.

The suits are pretty cool.

Yeah.

J'onn, the Elite really seem
to be getting to you.

What's wrong?

Manchester brings out
feelings in me

that I haven't felt
in a very long time.

I don't like feeling like this.

Like I could lose control.

And I just don't know
where it's coming from.

We all have people that
push our buttons, J'onn.
It's natural.

Yeah.

Manchester gets under my skin.

Well, good thing
Martians have thick skin.

Hmm.

So, we have teams set up
at your D.C. and Collinwood
residences,

and I should be getting
an update every hour.

I have to say, it is so great
to finally have a human

in charge of the DEO.

I mean, the idea
that an alien

would be running
the very department
in charge of policing aliens.

Did you hear that
from the DEO agent that
you turned into a terrorist?

Uh, no, from the president.

Okay.

I know that you think
that I'm a monster.

But half of England
said the same thing
about Winston Churchill

before World War II.

So, I guess we'll
just wait and see.

History will prove me right.

Director Lockwood,
how are you going to
stop domestic terrorism?

Will the Children of
Liberty retaliate?

Well, I'm great,
thank you for asking.

Listen, I don't really want
to talk about the Elite

or their assassination attempt
on me last night.

Instead, I would like
to discuss with you

what I was prevented
from announcing.

My drive to repeal
the Alien Amnesty Act.

-Because, for too long,

alien criminals have
come down to this planet,

and they have been
given amnesty.

They've been
given protection,

when we are the ones
that need protecting.

We are the ones
who have been suffering,

not them.

With the repeal
of the Alien Amnesty Act,

I propose that
we send these invaders

back to the planets
that they came from,

allowing us
to finally live in peace.

I would like to invite you
to a rally tomorrow

in the main concourse
of this very building,

where I will share with you
what I intend to share
with Congress.

He can't do that.

Tell me Ben Lockwood
cannot repeal
a congressional act.

No, but he can try and sway
the will of the people.

Well, he's just begging
the Elite to take another
whack at him.

Which is why we have
to find them before his rally.

-If only we knew
where to look.

The balcony.

Across from the
Alien Affairs building.

The same place as last night?

I saw it in my dream.

And returning to the scene
of the crime is a classic
bad guy move.

- Agent Dox?
-Yes, ma'am.

Since Director Lockwood's
little announcement,

a pro-alien march
has been organized
to counter his rally.

Someone going by
"AmericanAlien"

is at the center of this one.

I need you to hack
into the message board

and see if any extremists
will be showing up
to stir the pot.

You want to stop the march?

No.

But with Lockwood
amping up his base

and the Elite
amping up theirs,

this whole event could
turn into a powder keg.

Well, whoever this
AmericanAlien is,

their website is
superbly protected.

He or she must be
a highly intelligent
cryptophile.

-This may take some time.
-Just do it, Dox.

-Damn it.
-Dreamer said they'd be here.

Dreams are interpretive.

Maybe something
about them is here.

Part of them is.

Ugh.

A Morae's claw.

You can use that to track
the Morae psychically, right?

Yeah.

Bloomin' heck, man.

- Bloody hell.
-Well, isn't this a sight?

Yeah, a giant wall of ice.

Now, where did your pal
Mxy say the key was?

He didn't.

What?

"Under the doormat"?

Right.

No, not gold,
it's dwarf star.

Weighs around
500,000 kilos.

There. These little bad boys
will do the trick.

You're very welcome.

Now can we please get
something for Mo's mitt?

Of course we can.

Oh, I wager we can find
whatever we want in here.

You texted me.
What was so important?

I am going
to kill Ben Lockwood.

That? That was the emergency?

Emotional emergency, yeah.
I hate him.

Well, you and a lot of people.

Not "a lot of people"
have just been put
in charge of his security.

I was.

-What?
-Yep.

By order of the president.

-Oh...
-I don't know what
I should do.

Especially when
I should be out there

tracking down Manchester
and the Elite,

who I'm pretty sure
are still targeting him.

Well, I'm sure
Supergirl will find him,

and before that rally,

so you don't have
to worry about Lockwood.

Yeah, but how can I,
with a clear conscience,

protect a man who is causing
so much pain in the world?

You're a hero, Alex.

Heroes make tough decisions.

Well, that's not very helpful.

I mean, it's your job, right?

-Right.
-You keep people safe.

And like it or not,

protecting Lockwood
at that rally

will keep all of
those people safe.

Human and aliens.

Ugh.

I thought that was
good advice. I don't know.

Well, it is, it is.

It's just exactly
what Haley said.

Join me.

I can't. I have a deadline.

Okay, fine.

But I call the potstickers.

-What? No!
-All of them.

-Mmm-hmm.
-That's ridiculous.

Mmm-hmm.

All we're saying is,

if one of us is
rotting in a cell,

it ought to be a priority
to get her back.

And all I'm saying is,
we'll fetch Menagerie

as soon as we find what lets
us get around Supergirl,

so we can snuff Benny boy.

This is the belly of the beast,

bound to be the seeds
of her destruction somewhere.

Or,

we just use this.

Taking down Supergirl
and killing Lockwood
don't win hearts and minds.

But this,

this'll let us activate
all our alien brothers
and sisters.

Ooh.

And we can do even more
with its little brother.

Meh.

"Meh"?

What about the revolution?

Killing Lockwood
is the revolution.

They take one of us,
we take one of theirs.

Hey.

You loved Fi like blood, right?

Don't you wanna see
her murderer go down?

Yeah, but that isn't
what we set out to do.

We're supposed to be
changing the world,

not acting suicidal
to settle old scores.

Back home, when the gang
found out you and Fi
were otherworldly,

I stuck up for you,
at great peril.

And you can't do
the same for me?

That's different,
and you know it.

Nah, mate.

The only one that's
different now is you.

Come on, Mo,
we've lost this one.

Well, I hope you find
what you're looking for.

And choke on it.

I can feel the Morae,
but I can't see her.

Something's blocking me.

I have an idea.

I don't quite get
what you're saying,
but I hear you about Hat.

Too many cooks
spoil the broth.

Hmm.

That's keen.

We need to get Supergirl now.

Something tells me
the thing we're looking for

is right around this corner.

Manchester! It's over!

Yield or die.

Just take it down
to, like, a seven.

Yield or else.

That's new.

Fun toys she's got here.

This ends right now.

You got that right.

Manchester, no!

The mouth on
that one, honestly.

Any movement on
our AmericanAlien
or their website?

None.

Their online fingerprint
is generic at best.

Unidentifiable at worst.

Without knowing their key,

accessing the message board
is next to impossible.

And the march's head count?

Hovering just over 1,000.

We need to get agents
on the ground for it.

Do we?

In thinking
of peaceful protests,

might we consider the success
of the Women's March,

the Million Man March,
the Freedom March?

Tiananmen Square,

the Bonus March of 1932.

For every success story,

there's one of lives lost.

This march is filled
with nearly 1,000 aliens
or alien allies,

which fall
under our protection.

And if anything goes wrong,
it's on us.

Organize a team.

Very well.

I shall update Agent Reiff
on AmericanAlien's profile.

There's no time for that.
I want you to lead it.

-Me?
-Yes.

Danvers has a team
at Lockwood's rally.

You two should coordinate.

Still can't believe it.

Thank you.

He just ran straight
into the room.

-He wouldn't stop.
-What was in there?

A baby sun-eater.

Kal's.

It feeds on the chemical mass
of small stars,

so it's basically
a living bomb.

Oh, J'onn...

It's strange. I've always been
able to sense Manchester,

feel his rage, his anger,

but I can't anymore.

It's almost like a weight
has been lifted.

-I almost feel--
- Relieved?

Sometimes we don't realize
the impact people
have had on us

until they're gone,

for good or bad.

Thank you.

Both of you.

Maybe now he
can find some peace.

Still, the Hat's out there,
and we have a job to do.

I may not have a totem,

but I can still try searching
for him psychically.

What about us?

We monitor the news and see
if anything pops up.

I was hoping
to speak to Trent Miller.

He's a forensic accountant.

He's looking
into a budget for me.

Oh, is that right?
Uh, well...

When he gets back,
can you just have him
give me a call on this line?

It's James Olsen.

-Thank you.
-Mom, the march will be safe.

I love you, too.

Bye.

Nervous about
covering the march?

I'm fine.

No, it's okay
if you are, Franklin.

I mean, we are living
in crazy times, right?

It's just important to remember
what we do here every day.

Reporting on events like this,

taking the risk
to show all sides,

and showing the humanity there,

that's nothing less
than heroic.

I mean, think about it.

You fight injustice
with your fists,

you can help one,
maybe a dozen people.

But good journalism,

that can impact millions.

It's why we became journalists
in the first place, right?

Yeah.

-Thanks, Mr. Olsen.
-No problem.

-Franklin.
-Yeah?

You need a photographer?

Thousands of aliens
and their supporters

have turned out
in the streets of--

-Brainy.
-Greetings.

Why are you in your suit?

Breaking it in.

I have nothing.

Hat must be hiding
in the Fifth Dimension.

The energy there
makes him untraceable.

Yes, I heard
about Manchester's passing.

Um, the Legion ring
he took, my ring,

was it...

Oh, well.

That's put to bed now.

Ah, yes. It's the march
today, isn't it?

Will you all be joining?

You know, I think
we could all use
some peaceful protest today.

-Yeah, I'll be there.
-Wonderful.

-Kara? Nia? Uh, Dreamer?

Yes, I definitely think
we should be there...

-Huzzah!
-...to patrol.

-What?
-Dreamer stands with Supergirl.

Just gotta stretch first.

Oh, right.

Um, Kara, uh, a word?

I think it would mean a lot
to have Supergirl march today.

I wish I could, Brainy,

but I think it's more
important for me to patrol

in case anything
gets outs of hand.

They won't.

I am AmericanAlien.

Hashtag AmericanAlien.

You... You organized it?

When I lost my Legion ring,

I realized how much
I depended on it for strength

and confidence.

I thought it's what
made me a hero.

But not having it
these past few days

has made me see it wasn't
my ring that gave me strength.

It was fighting
alongside all of you,

helping to make the Earth
a better place.

In times like this,
change won't come

from someone
with a ring or a cape.

It'll only come
when each one of us

answers the call
to stand up and be heard.

El Mayara.Stronger together.

Just because we're superheroes

doesn't mean we forget
who we are.

I'm sorry, Brainy.

The risk is too great.

Ready.

Supergirl may be a symbol,

but, more importantly,
she's a citizen of Earth,

like the rest of us.

Remember that.

We are gathered
here today to unite.

To unite as human Americans

to take back our great land,
and that all starts

with the repeal
of the Alien Amnesty Act.

Agent Dox, sitrep?

I have the team
running perimeter checks.

And I am in a prime location
to run interference.

Roaches get crushed.

- Roaches get squashed!

We've got some hecklers
on the south end,
alongside the march.

En route.

Go home, aliens!

Your planet called!

Go home! We don't want you!

Supergirl.

What are you doing here?

We're here to show
our support for the
repeal of Alien Amnesty.

But that amnesty
is what gives
these aliens their rights.

Why should they get any rights?

They're just here
to hurt us.

They're not...

Look at them.

They're not here
to hurt anyone.

Most of them are fleeing
war and violence,

just like I did
when I first came to Earth.

They're not like you.

You're a superhero.

No, you're wrong.

I am just like them.

Were you aware that
these aliens intend to march
on this rally today

to quiet us, to silence you?

Do they have the right
to do that?

No!
Okay.

I didn't think they had
a right to do that.

But, hey, we're all learning.
We're learning.

We're slow, but we're learning.

We're learning from them.
We're learning

that it is us or them.

Us or them.

Us or them!

Us or them! Us or them!

Supergirl.

It's Kara Zor-El,
citizen of Earth.

Nice to have you with us.

Me, too.

Thank you

both.

Us or them! Us or them!

Us or them! Us or them!

Amnesty is not the same
thing as empathy.

Allowing these aliens
to come to our world

is not an act of kindness,

it is an act
of species-wide self-sabotage.

If we do not repeal
the Alien Amnesty Act,

they will not be our undoing.

We will have done that
to ourselves!

You see? Right there.
Us or them!

Us or them! Us or them!

Us or them!

What are they doing?

They have come to take
your planet from you.

Well, today...
Today, we say no!

Today, we take our planet
back from them!

Stay peaceful.

Don't stoop to his level.

Us or them!

-We need to get you
off the stage now.
-Where's the threat?

You are the threat.

All right.
Get him out of here.

Take him someplace safe,
away from here.

Mmm, love the smell
of revolution
in the late morning.

Makes me glad to be alive.

Hey.

-Thanks for coming back for me.
-Of course.

We really tricked them
into thinking you walked
into that sun-eater room.

Plus, you were there for me
in my time of need back home.

Least I could do
is return the favor.

Just glad you've come around
to my way of thinking.

Shall we?

Us or them! Us or them!

Us or them! Us or them!

Us or them!

Aliens of this world,
these pigs want to kill you.

And what?

You're gonna take it
lying down?

Oh, no.

I say it's time we rise up
and take them to the slaughter.

So find the nearest
alien-hater, and kill them!

The revolution is now.

Take your power back.

Come on!

Hat must have saved
Manchester in the Fortress

and then hid
in the Fifth Dimension.

That's why
I couldn't sense him.

Hologram.

-Then where's
the real Manchester?
-Close.

Given the strength
of the signal,

the broadcasting radius
must be less than a city block.

Okay. Brainy, Nia,
you clear the area.

-I'll handle--
-Leave Manchester to me.

Right, like I said.

J'onn's got Manchester.
I'll find Hat.

Time for a costume change.

Brilliant. Bloody brilliant.

Always
one step behind, J'onn.

You can see me.

Manchester!

Whoo-hoo!

One for you.

And one for you.

And one for you.

Hello, Hat. We meet again.

Well, if it isn't
the Ringless Wonder.

You don't need a ring
when you have friends.

So where are your friends now?

Nice work, Brainy.

Now get him to the DEO,

and then help me get
as many of these people
to safety as you can.

Go back to your planet, roach.

No, please!

Get out of here.

-Thanks, uh...
-Dreamer.

Nice to have another
superhero in town.

Is this where you tell me
Fiona wouldn't want to
see me this way,

and that my soul's
still worth saving?

No.

I think you're glad
Fiona's gone.

What?

With her out of the way,
it gives you an excuse
to do all this!

This is for justice!

You have the same excuse, too!

Your wife, your daughters.

Maybe you just need
to lose more.

More!

-More!

More!

I think we're seeing
each other much clearer
now, J'onn.

Thank you, Supergirl.

No, thank you.

I think if it hadn't
been for Manchester,

the march would
have been a success.

Even if it wasn't,
amidst all the fighting,

I could feel people
coming together.

-We changed some minds.
-And some hearts, too.

I mean, even in the protests
in Gotham and Metropolis,

no one got hurt,
people respected
each other's differences.

Even yesterday,

I saw some real
moments of humanity.

Like in your photo,
Mr. Olsen.

It always amazes me

how one image can
change the conversation.

Exactly. I heard,
in the elevator this morning,

someone say that your photo
moved them so much

that they're going to volunteer
at an alien outreach center.

It feels good to be a part
of the progress,

but the real credit
goes to Supergirl
and her new sidekick.

I'd love to get an exclusive
with them if I could.

Sidekick?

I'll get right on that.

-Thanks.
- Mr. Olsen?

You need to see this.

Sure thing.

"Her new sidekick"?
-I don't know.

-Me?
-I didn't tell him.

Oh, and as a result
of yesterday's demonstration,

the president and I, um,

think it's best to hold
congressional hearings...

-...on the matter

before we take
any further steps.
Thank you very much.

We did it.

We stopped the repeal.

For now, at least.

The power of the press
is an amazing thing.

So is the power
of the people.

Director Danvers.

It's good to see you
back in the DEO.

It's good to be back, Colonel.

Lockwood is a bureaucrat
with power
he doesn't understand.

Not only does that
make things dangerous,

-it makes our job difficult.
-Yeah.

But you were a good
solider yesterday.

Putting your duty
above your politics.

Not many would have been
able to do that.

Thank you.

From all that mess
comes something positive.

Looks like AmericanAlien
was one of the good guys

after all.

-She's very...
-Confounding.

Yes.

Your ex is pretty good
with a camera.

I read the tabloids.

There is a civil war brewing.

I can smell it in the air.

But there might be hope
for the country yet.

Seems time is on
your side for now,

so take the night off.

Well, I guess tomorrow's
another day.

Tomorrow may be too late.

Where are you, Manchester?

Maybe you just need
to lose more.

You can't change me.

Today, I find you
like a Manhunter.

Okay, wait, wait, wait.
You have to go back to the part

where you strong-armed
Ben Lockwood.

-Oh, my gosh.
You so have a bloodlust.
-Please.

Oh, I mean,

I don't know,
the whole thing was crazy.

You know, I've never been
through something
like that before.

And I know that Supergirl and I

haven't really been
on the same page lately,

but, you know, seeing her
out there at that march

hand-in-hand
with everybody else,

I was inspired.

Yeah. To rough Ben Lockwood up.

No, no.

No, it was, you know, I...

I followed my beliefs,
not the rules.

And it felt really good
to take a moral stance.

Yeah, I think everyone
at that march felt that way.

Mmm-hmm.

Seeing all those people
come out to have
their convictions heard.

-And James's photos.
-Yeah.

Seeing people who'd been
fighting helping each other,
that was...

It just goes to show,

no matter who you are,
alien, human, superhero,

every action counts

and every voice matters.

And who knows,
maybe the good guys
will win in the end.

Exactly.

Cheers.
