All language subtitles for Supergirl.S04E16.WEBRip.x264-ION10

Previously onSupergirl...

You risked his life
and the lives of
countless others

just so I would be forced
to test the Harun-El.

So you needed a nudge,

and a test dummy.

Well, it worked.
James is gonna live,

and you're gonna rot.

'Cause I will never
give you the cure.

I had someone
give me the cure

ten minutes ago.

Eve.

-How long?
-Forever.

Stay here
and take care of her.

Supergirl.
Nice to finally meet you.

You have powers?

I have powers.

You had a good run,

but this time,
the planet hits back.

How are you doing this?

How do you think I did it?

I'm Lex Luthor.

Raise your right hand.

Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth,

and nothing but the truth?

I do.

One disagreement
over his obsession

and he shut me out.

Threw me out of the company
and himself into his crusade.

He killed people.

Luthor kept offering Superman
a place in his organization.

Of course,
Superman knew who he was.

And Luthor didn't take
the rejection well.

He used to say we were
"burdened with excellence,"

and it was just me and him
against the world.

And if I'm honest with myself,
I believed him.

I was blind enough to think
that he wanted a partner...

But he wanted a pet Kryptonian.

...but he wanted a sycophant.

He kidnapped me.

And I have 16 scars
from the torture.

I have submitted our every
correspondence into evidence.

Enough smoking guns
for an army.

Plus,

when he turned the sun red,

I was wearing a wire.

Mr. Luthor,
you are charged with murder,

ecoterrorism,
and crimes against humanity.

Since you have chosen
to represent yourself,

have you anything to say

before I render
the verdict of this court?

Superman made me do it.

This is a paradigm shift.

Aliens are among us.

And for the rest
of human history,

there will only ever be
"before Superman"

and "after."

I am protecting mankind
from an extinction event.

And if this pearl-clutching
jury of my...

peers

wants to put me
behind bars for it,

they are welcome to try.

But know this.

I will always have
my thumb on the scales.

Alexander Joseph Luthor,

you've been found guilty
on all counts

and will serve
31 consecutive

life sentences.

Maybe we should make it 32.

♪ And now

♪ The end is near

♪ And so I face
The final curtain ♪

♪ My friend
I'll say it clear ♪

♪ I'll state my case
Of which I'm certain ♪

Mr. Luthor! Sorry. Sorry.

Mr. Luthor! Mr. Luthor!

♪ I traveled each
And every highway ♪

♪ And more
Much more than this ♪

♪ I did it my way

♪ Yes, it was my...

Wow.

Nice prison you got here.

It's for conjugal visits.

But still, after this,
it's back to concrete and iron.

Sounds lonely.

Stryker's is a Petri dish.

Bottle city.

I've even managed to teach
some of the inmates chess.

I like mentoring.

It's a waste.

You're a once-in-a-generation
mind

and the only man standing

between us
and total annihilation.

You know,
I used to write you letters.

I read them.

You're literate
for a Manson girl.

You are not Manson.

And for the record,
I'm not just some girl.

I've got degrees from Yale
in literature and physics,

and I am a former
Junior Miss North Carolina.

I don't need your resume.

Although I may know
someone who does.

-Ms. Tessmacher--
-Eve.

Ms. Tessmacher,

I need you to do me a favor.

What do you know
about CatComagazine?

Their circulation's down?

Jimmy Olsen works there.
He's been a thorn.

But he's connected
to the second Kryptonian.

And I happen to know
that Cat Grant

needs a new assistant.

A woman of your talents

would have no problem
finding a job there.

Consider it done.

But you do know there's
a lot more that I can do--

And you will.

We're gonna
make you undeniable.

Warden.

Did your husband enjoy
those Knights tickets?

Oh, yes. Courtside?

He felt like Nicholson.

And, uh, the other inmates,

they seemed to like all that
lobster you trucked in.

Lobster's 18th century
peasant food,

only fit for the indentured
and the incarcerated.

I, uh, didn't know
you did artwork.

It's just geometry.

Hannibal Crossing the Alps.

So, what's it, like, represent?

Boredom.
Can I help you, Warden?

Sorry.

You have a call
from the Kaznian Embassy.

Warden, I'm going to need
to leave for 72 hours.

What?
You can't just--

Your mother still lives
at 245 Maple Drive, right?

Bingo night every Friday
at St. Joseph's?

We wouldn't want
that awful Betty Byrom woman

to finally have a chance
at winning.

Would we?

Seventy-two hours.

How are you gonna
leave without--

Leave that to me.

I'll need my effects
and my tailor.

Oh, and my jet.

Rook to E-8.

Queen to H-5.

Bishop to G-6.

Queen to H-8.

Checkmate.

America.

Alex.

Alex.

Kaznia.

Alex... Alex...

He has nothing to fear,

and neither do you.

My name is Lex.

Alex?

Sure.

Alex.

I can show her
how to master her powers

and help you contain her.

I know you're the man
for the job.

Lex Luthor.

Foremost specialist
on everything Krypton.

You will make her
Kaznia's weapon, hmm?

She'll hate whomever you want.

Operant conditioning
is a specialty of mine.

But you'll need to follow
my instructions to the letter.

Can't break a Kryptonian,
but maybe we can bend one.

And for this?

Money, as discussed.

He's not as liquid
as he used to be.

I warn you,
you are only a consultant.

Cross my heart.

That's the one
who made her uncomfortable.

Get rid of him.

I will reassign him
elsewhere on the base.

She will not see him again.

She can see through walls.

Pyotr.

Next time, don't flinch.

Did they teach you any English?

Little.

Are you

angry at me?

For saving a child? No.

You did the right thing.

I heard pain.

I did not know my strength.

Would you like to?

Alex,

your name is only thing
I remember.

Let's just say we were besties.

I'll tell you everything soon.

Time's up and I have to go.

Go on.

You need to see the world
as they do.

English.

Mmm!

Pennies from heaven.
How does this happen? Clone?

I think I know.

It's called Harun-El.
Black Kryptonite.

It splits Kryptonians in two.

Supergirl must have
come into contact with it.

She's a blank slate.

Doesn't share
Supergirl's memories.

We don't know
exactly how this works, yet.

"We"?

It's Lena, and she has more.

Brava.

I told you I'd be more useful
at L-Corp than CatCo.

And how is my darling sister?

Obsessed.

About to have a breakthrough
with the Harun-El.

But she hasn't
produced results yet.

See that she does.

So do I stay
and hang with the commies?

What? No, you're driving.

Oh, sure.

So what's the play?

Paper tigers.

Um...

Chinese idiom.

Paper tigers threaten,
but are destroyed easily.

Kaznia wants to move on the US.

They're crazier than Russia.

They wanna bring back

the glory days
of the Soviet Union.

So you wanna help them?

I don't care
about their politics.

Regimes change. Kings die.

But if Kaznia attacks America,

and I foil the attack,
America will hail me as a hero.

To do that,
I'm gonna need patsies

in both the East and the West.

So, Otis, fetch your sister
and find me a real American.

Someone charismatic, a radical.

I think I know
just the guy, Mr. Luthor.

Name's Ben Lockwood,
seems smart.

I'm glad someone does.

Wait. Where are you going?

Back to Stryker's.

Prison's the best alibi
the world has yet devised,

and I'm about to need
a lot of alibis.

The USSYosemite moved closer
to the Kaznian Sea today,

placing pressure
on an already volatile area.

Critics of President Baker,
who took office two weeks ago

after President Marsdin's
resignation,

are questioning
his decisions...

Alex.

When I was a boy,

I learned this game
from a grand master,

Anatoly Karpov.

That's how I learned
to speak your language.

Seems fitting that
it should teach you mine.

I think your books
handled that.

Have they? Okay.

Philip of Macedon.

Ruled from 359 BC
until his assassination.

Father of Alexander the Great,
your namesake.

Philip had a small power base. He wanted to build an empire.

But, in the end,
we only have one lifetime.

Alexander inherits
his father's work,

but he does more than Philip ever could have dreamed.

He conquers the world.

This appeals to you?

You sound like my sister.

Lena.

Yes.

You pay attention.

You remind me of her sometimes.

I used to think
we were inseparable.

That we were going
to change everything.

What happened?

People disappoint.

Not bad, though.

You've read that one
more than the others.

Gatsby.Why?

It's beautiful.

Lush.

I, uh...

I think that's the word.

The language...

It's hard to even imagine
the world that way.

I didn't give it to you
because it's pretty.

This is a book about
vapid, profligate fools.

Money is always acquired
at someone else's expense.

But you have money.

You must.
The way you come and go--

I do.

Because it is their weapon.

The way their world works.

Read it again.

Thank you, Mikhail.

Your mother.

She's...

She's working?

Yes.

I'm sorry you have to be
alone so much.

I'll try to visit more.

The night she saved you,

why were those men attacking?

They were thieves.

It is just me and my mother.

Why?

My father was a bad man.

He left us.

I had a bad father, too.

What did yours do?

He stayed.

I used to pray for a hero
like the one you got.

Took a long time,

but here you are.

Time to go.

Sorry, Mikhail.

I don't understand.
Why we are in such a hurry?

What is that?

-We got to get you inside.

What is happening to me?

There's only one thing
on this Earth

that can hurt you,

and the Americans
just seeded the skies with it.

You will never
feel like this again.

-I will protect you.

But there's something
we have to do first.

Your flesh is weak.

It's the only time
we can do this.

Someday,

you may have to match her.

Who?

It's time for you
to know your full truth.

You are strong.

You are Kaznia.

But you are
also something more.

That green flash you saw,

it's poison to your species.

Made of fragments
of your home planet.

You are one of the last
daughters of Krypton.

Krypton?

You will usher in
a new era of peace.

Equality.

Nations unlike Kaznia
who believe in greed

will rise against you.

And its greatest champion

will stand between you
and your work.

I told you, English.

You need to keep your accent.

Why?

You want me to go to America.

Someday. You're not ready yet.

Yes, I am!

I want to see it.

I want to know more.

Who is this Supergirl

to me?

Why does she look like me?

Put simply,

your sister.

She has usurped
your position in the world.

Taken from you.

Like your Lena.

Yes.

Maybe you should see more.

National City.

You know Kaznia, Krypton.

Now you need
to experience Babylon.

Hey!

Kid!

What's your name?

Linda.

Linda Lee.

Well, Linda Lee,

why don't you go on
and get us some more of this?

Of course.

What did you see?

A pig trough.

One of the men had a pin

with the AmerTek insignia.
They make weapons.

America's exports, movies

and bombs.

Kaznia suffers so that
Americans can live like this.

And Supergirl
defends those men?

Yes, because she's

soft.

Accustomed
to a certain lifestyle.

You wanna understand her?

This is the place.
This is where Supergirl lives.

Or, as some know her,

Kara Danvers.

One day, you may have to be
just like her.

Move like her, think like her.

So,

what do you see?

She likes comfort.

She's undisciplined.

All of this is for her?

She is like a princess
in a tower.

And on a reporter's salary.

Someone is coming.

Kara!

Alex.

I thought
you were in Smallville.

I mean,
I specifically remember you

asking me to take care
of your leafy dependents.

Yeah, yes. Uh, Smallville.
Yeah, I, uh...

-I...
-Oh, you didn't cancel

your vacation, did you?

I told you that I would
hold down the fort at the DEO.

I mean, but you are missed.

No. Of course,
I didn't cancel my vacation.

I... I just... I...
I forgot my journal.

Look at me.

Silly writer,
without her journal.

Okay, well, good.

Well, you should...

You should be going, right?

Yeah, okay, okay, I will.
Thank you, Alex.

Bye.

-Bye.
-See ya.

Kara Danvers has an Alex, too?

You have a lot in common
except for what counts.

Field trip's over.
I have to go back to--

-To prison.
-Yes.

Go back to Kaznia.
Make sure you weren't seen.

No one can know that you exist.

Ms. Grant
only threatened to fire me

six times today.

I think she's warming to me.

Lena doesn't realize
how much potential she has.

I hope now
at least the world will.

Lena Luthor.

Kara!

What are you doing here?
I thought you were on vacation.

I, uh...

I had to help Alex
with something.

Ms. Luthor.

Ms. Luthor.
Sorry to interrupt.

You're needed in Lab C,
and it can't wait.

I'm sorry,
but when you get back,
maybe a girl's night?

Big Belly Burger.

Like your birthday, last year.

Sold.

Hello, "Kara."

Or should I say, Privet?

There is no way
Alex sent you to L-Corp.

-What are you doing here?

Okay, well, you met her,

so now get back
to your nesting doll.

I'm not ready.

America is

unsavory,
but I'm not so sure

it is bad as Alex thinks--

Oh, no. No, no, no.

You are not gonna go
all apple pie-eating,

flag-waving,
Philip Jennings on me.

Kara Danvers wants to do good.

She has compassion.
She has friends.

And Lena is one of them.

Why is that?

We've got a problem.

Your little project's
got a mind of her own,

and she's about to
star-spangle you

right out of world domination.

Panic is a bad color on you,
Ms. Tessmacher.

I can fix this.

You and Otis
will have to go to Kaznia.

What? What for?

Because that's where
the thing she loves most is.

And she's gonna be ever so sad when the Americans

take it away from her.

Hey, kid.

Hey, sailor.

Missile engaging target.

Who would do this?

You already know.

AmerTek. The greedy Americans.

Don't do this.

Listen to me.
Luthors bide their time.

This is just an American--

- Please, stop.
-No!

You could have compromised
all of our work.

-They killed Mikhail!
-What is one life?

One life is nothing
next to the world!

You risked everything,
and you did not listen to me!

You don't give me commands.

I am helping you.

They saw your face.

If you were identified,
the world would hunt you down!

I'll make this look
like an accident.

Sabotage, friendly fire.
I will clean up your mess!

Is that what you think of me?

That I am some pet
you clean up after?

Of course not.

Some soldier then?

Alexander's conquering army!

What am I?

Why am I here?

Why does Kara Danvers
have an Alex?

And why is she friends
with your sister?

That's what this is about.

This is about Lena.

I thought you were stronger.

But

people disappoint.

I'm done here.

Oh, I died once.

So I believe
in second chances,

but if you see a bald guy...

Any bald guy.

You lie on the floor.
You pretend you're dead.

Okay?

What?

What kind of illness?

- Lex.
- We pushed her too far.

Maybe the Black Kryptonite
caused unchecked cell growth.

-That'd be cancer-symptomatic.
-Lex.

Could be a telomere problem.

We need to
stabilize the senescence--

-Lex!
-What?

Oh, right.

The Harun-El.

It made her.

It might stabilize her.
Bring it to me.

It's not ready yet.

Lena's trial still has
a 100 percent mortality rate.

-Then I'll solve it.
-The girl is dying.

What do you suggest I do?

She is everything
I have worked for. She's a...

A miracle.

The skies opened up
and gave her to me. I...

I can't lose her.

I have an idea,
but you're not gonna like it.

-What we--
-You're right.

I have to give myself cancer.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

That is not
what I was gonna say.

No, you were going to tell me
that I need to work with Lena.

And you're right,
except she won't buy it.

She'll never work with me,

but she will

save me.

-No, Lex. No!

- Hey, sis.

I hate what you've done
with the place.

I'll be direct.

Black Kryptonite.

The Harun-El.

You have it, and I need it.

You know
it doesn't grow back hair.

Don't be pedestrian.

You're a Luthor.

I seem to remember some
disagreement on that point.

Not from me.

I swabbed your cheek
the day after you moved in.

I've always been interested
in our genes.

Strengths. Weaknesses.

Alcoholism.

So that's your plan.

Come here
to talk about our drunk father?

What's next?
You tell me you love me?

Love is valueless.
I respect you.

No. You don't get to do that.

You can't just come in here
and take what you want.

Lena, I'm a hologram.

I can't take anything.

But I get it.

You don't wanna
give up your research.

It's cozy,

the comfort of obsession.

I'm not like you.

I wanna help people.

I'm people.

And you're using the black rock
to make super soldiers.

Who is that helping?

I've had some time,
done some thinking,

-some leaf-turning-over--
-It's a big leaf.

Don't do what I did.

Don't harm when you could heal.

Oh, I just realized

you haven't asked me
why I need the black rock.

I assumed homicide.

Just the opposite.

I'm dying.

Take care of her.

Well...

Here goes everything.

Alex?

I thought you were gone.

Well...

You made me very, very angry.

But I promised

that I wouldn't let you
get sick again.

You saved me.

I had a lot invested in you.

And I shouldn't have left
the way that I did.

This is not about Lena.

This is about you and me.

Can you forgive me?

Supergirl

acts on her emotions.

It's selfish,

ugly.

I will not be her.

I will be me.

I will be disciplined.

I will follow you

and destroy her.

Do you remember that story

about Alexander the Great
and his father?

I remember.

You thought I was Alexander.

But I'm Philip.

I only get one lifetime.

But you're...

forever.

My gift to the world,

my legacy.

What's wrong?

It's Lex Luthor.

He's free.

I tried to stop him,
but he got away.

-What?
- Lena.

Does she know?

I don't know.

Okay, I will find her.

You get J'onn and find Lex.
