All language subtitles for Supergirl.S04E13.WEBRip.x264-ION10

My name is Kara Zor-El.
I'm from Krypton.

I'm a refugee on this planet.

I was sent to Earth
to protect my cousin.

But my pod
got knocked off course.

And by the time I got here,

my cousin had already grown up
and become... Superman.

I hid who I really was
until one day

when an accident forced me
to reveal myself to the world.

To most people, including
my adoptive sister Alex,

I'm a reporter
at CatCo Worldwide Media.

But in secret, I work
to protect this planet

I call my home

from anyone
that means to cause it harm.

I am Supergirl.

Previously onSupergirl...

I'm here to offer you
a government contract.

We need to make
the US military

as powerful as
our alien adversaries.

I am never going
to agree with you

sharing your research
with the government.

-I think you should leave.
-So, that's it then.

Your powers give you
the potential

to be a great hero.

But you still have to learn
how to control them.

What I need is for you
to help me train.

Long live the Legion!

Letter for you.

-From who?
- Manchester Black.

The PATRIOT Act
only protects human life.

Lockwood can't be charged
under it.

Get the White House Counsel
to sign off, now.

I stand before you
a free man,

ready to continue to serve
this great nation.

Cheers!

You work in the prison.

-Your name's Danny.
-What did you say?

Do you
like surprises, Danny?

No, wait!

Hot off the laser jet.

Let me guess,
this is your sixth article

-on Lockwood
since he got out of prison?

-New angle?
-Nope.

But people need
to be reminded,
you know,

that... that he's a murderer.

-There's that.

Feels like I'm screaming
into the void, but...

You wanna save that
void screaming

until after we eat?

-James.
-Hey.

Lunch... Oh, my God, lunch.
I totally forgot.

-Bad! Kara is so bad--
-Okay, you're embarrassing.

- Let's go.
- Hey...

Are we still on
for the, um, research trip?

Things have been so busy
with all the Lockwood stuff

that I totally forgot
we have an appointment

with the city auditor.

-I'm sorry.
-It's okay.

You're only human.

Uh, I'll call you later.

Okay.

Well, I guess I'll get
a move on, too. I...

Work has been crazy

with Lena moving into the DEO
this week. It's...

-That was... I'm sorry.
-It's fine. I...

No kid gloves needed. Thanks.

Okay, I'll see you soon?

I hope so.

Hey.

This came from a friend at NCU

who applied
for like a medical study

a few months ago.

He didn't get picked up,
but...

That address
is to an L-Corp subsidiary.

I know you said that my source

for that last article
was wrong, but

you think it's worth taking
a second look?

Did I cover okay
about training and everything?

-Did I blow it?
-No, no!

I'm still getting used to
the lying to Alex, too.

And don't worry,

you'll get better at the whole
"sneaking out" thing.

The key is subtlety.

Case in point.

Hi, Brainy.

It's Barney.

-Barney?
-Yes, Barney.

Thought it best
we keep a low profile,

considering where we're going.

Welcome to
the Fortress of Solitude.

I mean, it sure beats
the hell out of your loft.

Hey! That place
is rent-controlled.

-And this works great
for training.

Plus, you have Kelex, too.

I did not know
we would be receiving guests.

You have a robot?

Caretaker Android Mark IV

with many other functions.

Kelex, this is Nia Nal.
Give her anything she needs.

And I think Lois already
introduced you

to Brainy, right?

-Hello, Kleenex.
-It's Kelex, Querl.

Don't you have to dust
the cosmic anvil or something?

Okay... Holler if you need me.

It's been weeks.

And now you agree to see me?

Why now?

Well,
let's just say

prison has changed me.

So, be honest...

Whatcha think of the hair?

Look, you lost someone.

I know how that feels.

Let me help you.

You think I'm good
deep down, eh?

Well, it's a bad time
to be a good man.

Take you, for instance.

If it weren't
for your bloody promise,

I believe you could solve
all the worlds problems.

You just need... motivation.

This is Hat. We go way back.

'Ello!

Why are you doing this?

I wanted to thank you
in person.

I was thinking small.

Hell-bent on getting Lockwood.
Petty revenge.

But I've got bigger fish
to murder.

And you can't stop me,
old man.

Don't do this.

Thanks for the chat, mate.

-Cheered me right up.

Shall I
teleport us out, then?

Ah, not yet.
Gotta make another stop.

I can't take us anywhere
I haven't been before.

-We'll have to do it
the hard way.

When's that ever stopped us?

All out of guns?

Thought you'd like
something dashing.

Freeze!
Down on the ground!

Naughty.

Hey...

So, what's important enough
for you

to jeopardize
our thrilling escape?

A bloody jacket! Why?

It's dashing.

Long time no see.

Who's Clockwork Orange?

What's the line?
"No man is a failure--"

"...who has friends."

I thought we captured you.

She says
that was a different Morae.

They all look alike to you.

There you are.

Nice to finally meet you.

Menagerie?

Thought you could cut off
the head of the snake.

We're tougher than that.

Ah, ah, ah, ah!

-Let him go.
- Why would we?
It's war.

You know those
alien-hating racists

been comin' out
their hidey holes?

-We're gonna make them dead.

Right then...

Manchester!

I'm gonna find them.

Not without me.

You have anticipatory dreams,

I have differential calculus.

Both are predictive,

but...

We have to be adaptive, too.

I learned that
from my friend Val.

One of your Legion friends?

So him
I'm allowed to know about?

Brainy, you knew one of
my descendants in the future,

but you won't tell me
a thing about her.

But if I knew the full scope
of what she could do--

Absolutely not!

Yeah, we could create
a paradox,

-destroy the very fabric--
-Fabric of space-time.

Where have I
heard that before?

What is it?

What's wrong?

Pull up the footage.

This is live. Rio.

We want to send a message.

Low angle? Are you insane?

What?

We are live
from a secret army base

where mercenaries
torture aliens

when they get bored.

They killed four of ours,

so we killed one, two...

Thirteen of theirs.

From now on,

we terminate prejudice
with extreme prejudice.

Like and subscribe!

I'll track them.

Kryptonian technology
is far superior to Earth's.

With, of course,
the clear exception of Kelex.

I've seen
hats like that before.

They use
Fifth Dimensional energy.

Untraceable.

We're trying to
keep up, but they are
just moving so fast.

Outmatched by a freaking hat.

I'll talk to the Joint Chiefs,
see if they want us overseas.

I'll handle that.

I need to also make sure
Ms. Luthor is settled in.

-I can take that
off your plate.
-Okay.

Where's the
gel electrophoresis apparatus?

That would be in that room,
third cabinet on the right.

Well, this used to be my lab.

I'm glad it's in good hands.

It's just for
a couple of weeks.

Unless you wanna change
that combat suit

for a white coat?

May I?

Okay...

So, you are...
reducing mitophagy

and... increasing
mitochondrial efficiency

at the same time.

That would give muscle cells
the potential to...

Okay, wait.

That conversation
at Thanksgiving,

that wasn't theoretical?

You're giving people powers.

Management is such a waste
of your talents.

Lena, this is huge.

And it's dangerous.

I mean, we need
to up your security.

We need to make sure that

your reports are put on
a protected server.

I'm not going to be writing
any reports.

What do you mean, you're not?

You made a deal
with the government.

The deal was nonreciprocal.

It's for products,
not procedures.

Which is a good thing,
because I don't trust
governments as a rule.

I'm the government.

Well, I sure hope
that's not true.

Alex, it's not personal.

I promise.

Ben Lockwood?

Wow. Hey! Welcome to D.C.

Yeah, who should I
make it out to?

The guy whose phone calls
you been dodging.

Oh!

I'm sorry, I didn't...
realize.

It's all good. I'm Cooper,

serving the Children
of Liberty

in our nation's capital
and areas surrounding.

Right on. Thanks.

Jack. Three fingers.

We've been keeping Liberty's
torch lit, so to speak.

You know, taking care
of things while you were...
Well, you know.

Came to say, I'm on the ground
with the boys.

And they don't love
your conduct of late.

Well, I got good news
for the boys.

I'm about to meet
with the President
of the United States.

Manchester Black
is running free,

and you're here with
the suits on Capitol Hill?

-Wait. What?
-You didn't know?

Yeah, he broke out.

This is exactly my point,
Professor.

Okay, when this
whole thing started,

you were downright scary.

And now?

I got a dog back home, Max.

Great dog.

The day we neutered him,

he didn't bark
the same no more.

Okay. Yeah.

Nobody is gonna follow this.

Put his on my tab.

Who are
Manchester Black
and his cohorts?

To some, they are terrorists.

To others,
they're a force for good,

fighting against alien
discrimination worldwide.

Every action has
an opposite and equal, yeah?

This Earth first
"Liberty" crowd,

they hurt aliens.

And what, they don't think
we'll hurt them in kind?

That's London.

And it looks like they stole
the crown jewels

to make a bigger statement.

Why?
'Cause Supergirl says
that's not the way?

Supergirl's like a folktale.

In theory,
comforting, noble.

In reality,
ill-equipped

and clinging to ideals
of a time long past.

When they go low,
she goes high.

We put them six feet lower.

-We're through giving

these devils
the benefit of the law.

Supergirl's done.

This is the era of the Elite.

Now, if I flatter myself,

my guess is
the Girl of Yesterday

is watching somewhere,
hands on her hips

in the name of justice,

or she can come
meet me face-to-face.

Dawn. Come alone.

I hope you can make it.

That's what you're all about,
right?

"Hope"?

Now, for a commercial break.

You cannot trust him.
It'll be a trap.

Wouldn't be the first one
I've walked into.

He didn't even say
where to meet.

That flash
at the end of the message

had an image coded in it.

A map only I could see.

Superliminal stimuli
embedded in structured light.

I don't want
to be impressed, but...

Where does he want to meet?

Manchester, England.

Guess he wanted
home court advantage.

How long till dawn?

Three hours,
21 minutes, 15 seconds.

So we wait.
And then I'll deal with them.

FDR's.

Used it to sign
the Labor Relations Act.

Your dad was
a union man, right?

Oh, yes, sir.
Through and through.

Yeah? Come on.

Uh, Mr. President,
while I'm here,

um...

I speak
for a lot of people,

a lot of good people.

People who are interested
in service.

-And so, I was thinking--
-Service?

-Uh...
-What are you saying?

Well, you know how effective
my people can be.

And with the world
where it is today,

and with the Elite
being out there...

Hmm.

I want you to deputize
the Children of Liberty.

What?

I like your show, son,

and I'm glad I could
help you out with the pardon,

but I've got the situation
pretty well in hand.

-All right?

All you gotta do

is look pretty
for the cameras.

Nice suit, by the way.

I've made up my mind.

You can't convince me
to change it.

I know you better than that.

Just don't let him
bring you down.

Manchester got to you,
didn't he? At the prison.

All I've wanted to do since
my father died is honor him.

Live by his example.

And you have.

But I'm struggling, Kara.

There's a duality in me
that's at war.

I want to be a man
of peace just like my father,

but every fiber of my being
is fighting against that.

Being a Manhunter
was part of my nature.

Are you considering
picking back up the sword?

I made a personal vow
I wouldn't take that lightly.

Well, if you choose
to join the fight
to bring the Elite to justice,

I'm sure your father
would understand.

Even Myr'nn joined the fight
against Reign.

Manchester is baiting me.

We're connected somehow.

I think he can feel the rage
that lies within me.

The rage born
of the massacre of my family.

One thing's for certain,

Manchester was a test for me.

But whether he's a test
of my resolve,

or just a mirror

showing me that I cannot walk
my father's path,

I just don't know.

You will find clarity, J'onn.

I know you will.

Thank you.

Do you want me
to come with you?

I think I need
to do this alone.

There's a reason
he brought the fight to me.

I'm the symbol.

He wants this.

Kelex?

Nia Nal, it's nice to see you
without that bore Querl.

This star has died.

And there, a new one emerges.

So, you know about this stuff.

Other systems?

Planets?

If I'm interpreting
your intimations correctly,

you seek information
on your species.

Shouldn't you ask
your pompous Coluan friend?

Brainy wants to keep
all that under wraps.

But if I'm supposed to fight,

I need to know
what I'm capable of.

The only other person who
could've told me is... gone.

Your timeline
is likely extra-Lorentzian,

and not as subject to paradox
as one might think.

But there are still risks

to divulging
this type of information.

Well, Supergirl said
anything I need,

didn't she?

Those were her orders.

Then tell me about Naltor.

Tell me about
everything I can do.

You could have
just used the door.

And you could stop
killing people.

Please, but no tricks.

If anything happens to me,
the Morae will start killing.

So, what?
We're just gonna sit here

and do the diner scene
from Heat?

Ah, no, no.

Ah, Pacino, De Niro,
they came alone.

They're just
for my protection.

It's a little gaudy for me.

Hey, that's my fee.

I thought you were
all about your vendetta.

Ben Lockwood, Fiona.

Why do you think I came here?

Brought her things
to her family.

Lockwood's time will come.

But this is about me and you.

You won't join us,
and I can't beat you.

So, let's make a deal.

I accept your surrender.

Never. But I can
stay out of your soup.

Cat in a tree,
idiot in tights,
bank robbers, all yours.

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

that's our department.

I won't let you keep
killing people.

Oh, like your government
intends to kill people?

You really don't know, do you?

Next week,
your beloved government

is launching a satellite
that will shoot down

any alien spacecraft trying to
enter our atmosphere.

That's impossible.

I have it on good authority.

Hat kidnaps
secret agent types,

learns what they're up to.

That's why we formed
this band of merry men.

Sorry, merry people.

Why should I believe you?

Talk to your mate, Baker.

You know,
the bloke who just pardoned

the grand bloody wizard
of the Children of Liberty.

Ask him 'bout
Operation Claymore.

And then ask yourself,

what if it were your ship
they were blowing up?

You came here in a rocket.

Child in a basket, you know?
Real Moses stuff.

Here's your chance
to tell the bosses

to "let your people go."

Or us plagues'll do it for ya.

Mr. President.

We need to talk.

I will not apologize
for protecting my country.

But that's why you have me.

That may have sufficed
for Olivia Marsdin.

Not anymore.

Everyone involved
in Claymore,

everyone that works
at that satellite base

is at risk.

The Elite are going to attack.

If I closed
every military base

that might be threatened,
I'd have no bases left.

And last I checked,
I don't answer to you.

Will you answer
to your electorate

the first time Claymore
shoots down an alien ship

that means us no harm?

It's wrong.
Innocent people will die.

Do not interfere
with that satellite!

This is a mistake,
Mr. President.

Go to scrambler code 1-8-7.

General, move the Claymore
launch up to tomorrow night.

And double the guard
at Devil's Tower.

It was fine.
It was a photo op.

I wore the suit
and...

Yeah, that probably
was a little bit much.

There was this guy
at the hotel who, uh...

Doesn't matter, Lydia. Um...

You know what,
sweetheart? I--

I just keep hearing
Dad's voice

in my head,
and he's telling me

that I'm an idiot

for rubbing elbows
with all these politicians

when I started
the Children of Liberty

to help people.

Real people.

Am I still doing that?
Or, um...

Yeah.

Anyway, uh,
how are you doing?

How's George?
I wanted to talk to you--

Your message
has reached its limit.

Come on.

Come on.

No. No.

No. No. No. No.

Bad astral projection.

Hmm.

You went behind my back.

You took advantage
of that simpleton Kelex.

And now
you're astral projecting.

That jumps months of training.

I know, I'm sorry. I just...

I move too fast
'cause that's what I do.

I push myself and I take on
more than I can handle.

My mother always said it.

But that's what heroes do.

Leaping before one looks

is part of
the job description.

-It backfired.
-Yes.

But next time,
you shall fire forward.

I didn't know
you made house calls.

Your place is great.

I'm here
about Operation Claymore.

The President is planning
on launching a satellite array

that will blow up
any alien spacecraft

entering our orbit.

What? The DEO's
supposed to be
the first line of defense

against invasions.
I mean,
not some giant gun.

-Is that even legal?
-I don't know.

But I do know it's immoral.

But everything I do
means something to people,

so...

If I stop the satellite,

I'm aligning myself
with the Elite.

And then on the other hand,
if I let the launch happen,

what does that say
to the Children of Liberty?

Why does it feel like
there are only two choices?

And aren't you
on your own side?

Yes.

Alone.

-Sometimes it feels like--
-Screaming into the void.

That's something
my sister said.

Look,

you can only do
what you feel is right.

Yeah.

Come with me.

Talk to the Marine Corps.

You're the Director
of the DEO,

throw your weight around.

If I show up,
I would jeopardize my position

and the whole organization
would be at risk.

I can't.

I understand.

I'm just saying
maybe a prison dye job

wasn't the best move.

Nor is base dealing, mate.

Needed a third king.

-Gin.
-Thought you'd never ask.

What's that, girl?

Trouble at the old mill?

Right.

You called it.

Girl of Steel went
straight to the President.

Idiot moved the launch
up to tomorrow.

Base is in Wyoming.

Devil's Tower.

How did you know
we were comin'?

Fish and chips
and tracking devices.

-This ends now.

You're still outnumbered.

Count again.

Who's this, then?

You have the Elite...

I have super friends.

Right.

Oh, crap!

I got you.

Ouch!

Oi!

Go after the Martian.

Rad.

Rad.

I built the gloves to harness
raw dream energy!

So, yes, it's quite "rad."

You're safe now.
Get out of here.

Go on.

Turn the other cheek.

Director Danvers?

I did what I thought
was right.

-J'onn...
-The satellite.

Right.

-How'd you know where I--
-Dreams.

Differential calculus.

Where's my ring?

Sleight of hand, fam.
Like me. You see...

I'm just a distraction.

Wait...

Where's the Morae?

Brainy, they started
the launch.

The controls are destroyed.
I can't do anything.

Well, that was the plan,
wasn't it?

Launch initiated.

-What did you do?
-Picked my own target.

1600 Penn. The White House.

Your government, on fire,
hoisted by its own petard.

As soon as it reaches orbit,
it will fire.

There's a reason it's called
"playing God."

It's fun.

Fly.

Wanna make me
the happiest man on Earth?

Ah...

There you are,
J'onn J'onzz.

Nice to finally meet you.

I know why you called me, now.

You have a death wish.

Satellite has reached orbit.

Firing in seven, six, five,

four, three, two,

one.

You okay?

That ring... was mine.

And I lost it.

Look,

if you've taught me anything
the past couple of days,

it's that setbacks
will make you stronger.

It's not about how
your ring was stolen, Brainy.

It's about how
we're gonna get it back.

Thank you, Nia Nal.

How's your head?

Don't worry about it.

Just don't tell the President.

You were never here.

You did a good thing,
destroying that satellite.

Well, I couldn't have done it
without that suit.

But the Elite
are still out there.

Oh, we'll get 'em.

Um... Look...

Officially, I know that

we're not really
supposed to communicate.

And I'm not saying that

you can just show up
whenever you want.

But, you know, occasionally,
from time to time,

-maybe, uh, we can--
-Kick ass the way we used to?

Something like that.

I would really like that.

Well, uh, wish me luck.

I gotta go see a guy
about a satellite.

-Good luck.

That satellite array
was created
to protect Americans.

Not to mention that it cost
$2 billion!

And now it's gone.
And here we are.

Yes, here we are.

As well as your staff,
your loved ones...

Thanks to me wasn't leveled

by a weapon of its own
government's creation.

Come on, you can tell me.

Hmm?

You hated that satellite.

You're a superhero.

There had to have been
a way to stop Claymore

without blowin' it up.

No, you did it
because you wanted to.

I assure you, sir,
there was no other way.

Colonel, a word?

It's not a good time.

The next time
the government institutes

a secret extraterrestrial
defense program,

I would appreciate being
part of the conversation.

Operation Claymore
should have been DEO purview.

If I'm not briefed on matters
of national security,

-then I can't do my job.
-Just a moment.

I didn't know.

Sorry?

President acted
against protocol.

I was never informed.

So, that results
in a 2% increase in--

- Oh, my God!
-Jeez.

Um, what happened?

Oh, it... It's fine.

Um...

I think you're right.

There's something wrong
with this government.

I thought you were
the government.

No, I'm your friend.

And right now I have
a hell of a lot more faith

in you than I do in them.

So, whatever you need,
I'm here.

Good.

That I can trust.

Come back tomorrow,
we'll give you the real tour.

Ben!

I'm glad you made
the second trip.

I really appreciate it.

Of course, Mr. President.

Lotta things going on today.
Lotta moving parts.

Hmm, I can believe it, sir.

Of course, you do.

Belief, loyalty.
It's important, hmm?

Maybe not to certain
caped individuals.

See, I've been thinking,
Ben...

I may not be able
to deputize all
of your Children of Liberty,

but I can deputize one.

How would you like to be

my next Director
of Alien Affairs?

What?

-Wow.
-Mmm.

Uh...

We could use a man like you.

A man who knows what he is.

"An asset
to this administration."

It's unbelievable.

Yeah, the President
is making some

very strange decisions lately.

The Lockwood appointment,
satellite...

-How do you--
-Brainy told me.

-We get brunch.
-Cute.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

My instincts were all over
the place on this one.

Didn't know which way was up.

Still not sure if I do.

Yeah, I know the feeling.
I got this story

I'm not sure
if I should pursue myself.

How'd you figure it out?

Examined my motives.

Made sure the decision
I was making

was for the right reasons

and not the selfish ones.

I guess that's all
we can do really, right?

Yeah.

Speaking of which,

I've got another article
to write.

Type fast.

Super speed.

Mackenzie.

Hey, um...

That source
that you were mentioning,

do you think
that he'd be willing

to speak on the record?

You all saw
the exact same thing I did.

We need boots on the ground,

-not wingtips on a dais--
- Gentlemen.

Sorry, I didn't realize
that we were meeting until--

My fault.

Must've forgot.

These here are all the folks

that've been holding
the fort down in...

Well, let's see. Nor'east,

Carolinas, Gulf, New Mexico.

This is Ben Lockwood.

I'm sorry, is it...
Is it Director Lockwood?

This kinda looks
a lot like, uh,
my mask, Coop.

Well, we're all Agent Liberty.

It's like you said, isn't it?

Doesn't matter who we are.

Doesn't matter who leads.
