Original subtitles

What's with the running, doc?

We both know how this is gonna turn out.

I didn't tell anyone.

I swear!

Good, then you're the only loose end.

You can scream now, if you want.

Hmm.

I've never fully understood

the mechanics of dreams.

I don't have them myself.

Well, this one's doing

a number on my ceiling

and pa Kent's getting tired of patching it.

I will say this.

What I saw was far more linear

than ordinary dream logic.

But it didn't seem like a memory either.

It was inconclusive.

You mean, I might actually

have done these things?

I'm sorry.

| just don't know.

'J'onn, President Chojeb on one.‘

I'm going to put you on the inactive roster

for a few days.

Let me know what you find.

What's the big deal?

You had some nightmares.

These weren't just dreams.

They felt like they really happened.

I don't know. I've had some dreams that felt mighty real.

There was this one the other night..

The point is I couldn't live with myself

if I really did what I saw.

Now, are you gonna help me or not?

Of course, kid.

But vague memories of a probe

like one of those alien abduction things.

Maybe you've just been hanging out in Kansas too long.

Wouldn't be so sure.

Especially when she's the alien.

Got all the signs of repressed memory.

People dream what their minds don't want to remember.

Easier to convince themselves it's all bunk.

Repressed memories of what?

When?

You've been to S.T.A.R labs

treated for injuries there.

Yeah, a few years ago.

When superman was brainwashed and attacked the earth.

I got hurt, and he took me to S.T.A.R for help.

I was in a coma for part of it.

Meaning there's a gap in time

you can't account for.

That's when.

Okay, enough. Don't listen to this guy.

Everything's conspiracies with him.

Not conspiracies.

Conspiracy.

Singular.

'Reaching back to ancient Egypt

there's been a single cabal of powerful individuals'

'directing the course of human history.‘

But the common man prefers to believe

they don't exist.

Which aids their success.

Global warming

military upheavals in the third world

actors elected to public office?

'The spread of coffee bars'

'germs outpacing antibiotics'

'and boy bands?‘

Come on.

Who would gain from all this?

Who indeed?

What does any of this have to do with my dreams?

If I'm right, you're part of it.

You're going to need my help.

I'm going with you.

Hold your horses.

No one asked for more help.

This whole trip might just prove

the kid shouldn't eat nachos before bed.

Peanut butter sandwiches.

How did you--

What? Do you go through my trash?

Please.

| go through everyone's trash.

'This is where we treated you'

'when you were in your coma.‘

You were on life support the whole time.

I promise, you weren't running around

on violent missions.

'Well, then, Professor Hamilton, maybe you can'

explain why her memories led her here?

I think I can explain it.

You mentioned some sort of torture device.

- Yes. - With robotic arms.

And a long probe in the center.

Cut to the chase.

You say you've seen something like it?

In fact, I have.

That's it.

'It's not a torture device.‘

It's a surgical robot.

That's a kryptonite-tipped lance.

It was the only way to operate on you, Supergirl.

That robot saved your life.

As for the rest of your dream

we humans are used to being vulnerable.

But to you, surgery must have seemed

terribly invasive.

And powerless to defend yourself

it's possible your mind constructed

a scenario of fighting back.

So, I think that answered everything.

Little too well.

Does everything have a sinister motive in your world?

Yours, too. You just don't know it.

Uh,guys.

Aagh.

Huh. Ooh.

What was that about?

What do you think?

We're asking questions

someone doesn't want answered.

Oh, learn a new tune already.

I'm starting to think he's right.

That robot came after me.

The rest of this was just

a distraction.

(Vic) 'Standard 28 combat trainer.‘

Like the ones we use.

The League buys 'em in bulk.

So?

So, who do we buy them from?

The army, I think.

Oh, wait a minute.

Another fun fact.

The man who commissioned the Z8 project.

The same man who put you in the hospital.

General Hardcastle?

He's retired now, isn't he?

Gone.

And hoping to be forgotten.

'Figured someone would come'

'for me some day.'

Only, I thought they'd be

from the other side.

This weapon fires a projectile

of kryptonite pellets suspendedin

a liquid silicon core.

Causes maximum scatter on impact.

Only gets one shot

but trust me, alien

it'll do the job.

We're not here to hurt you.

We just have some questions.

Sorry if I don't take your word for it.

As I recall, your kind can be fickle.

Okay, now what, smart guy?

Use up your magic bullet on me and you're left with one

very ticked off Supergirl.

Now, be a good host

and tell us a story.

The army shut me out

after Superman invaded.

The feeling upstairs was I failed

when it counted most

so how could I lead again?

I got the message

and took early retirement.

Problem is I know too much.

One of these days

they'll decide to shut me up.

Who will? What do you know?

The military and big business

have been in cahoots for decades.

Top secret stuff

experiments on metahumans

mutants, aliens.

Searching for new technologies

both for national security

and profit.

That volcano woman-- she was one of ours.

Same with those freaks

The Joker made up like playing cards.

Any of it have to do with Supergirl?

It has to do with all of them.

Your little club up in that spaceship?

There's a file on every one of you.

But I don't know anything

about these dreams of yours.

'If it is connected to these people'

I've been out of the loop'

'too long to know.'

And how do we find "these people?"

You don't. They find you.

Sorry, kid.

Dead end, I guess.

Not necessarily.

Need some time to process this.

Martian, pick us up.

What? I told you everything I..

Supergirl?

Yes.

And no.

Friends call me Tea.

Are you a friend, general?

Aah.

Guess that's a no.

It's okay.

You fell asleep.

Excuse me if I bore you.

Hey, lay off.

'Hardcastle's gone.‘

I just know.

- 'Question.‘ - Go ahead.

Look at your monitor.

I'm patching through a live feed.

'A scientist named Gilbert Halstrom'

'has been reported missing.‘

'He's from a biotech company called Nuvo-Gen.‘

'It's the man from Kara's dream.‘

He really exists.

Or did anyway.

And only one network had the story.

Now, that's the first lead in this whole business

I can wrap my head around.

We go to Nuvo-Gen.

We find out who this guy is.

No. First we find the source of the report.

What for?

Don't you know who owns the eagle network?

The real owners.

Look, why don't we split up?

Kara and I will go to Nuvo-Gen.

You go wherever you want.

beep beep

Hey,LasseL

Saw that piece on eagle today.

Now, that's reporting.

Thanks. You get home safe.

Eh.

The thing is that Nuvo-Gen's

a real hush-hush joint

and, uh, Halstrom didn't have no family

to file a missing persons.

So, between you and me

how'd you hear about that story?

Good old-fashioned legwork, Jerry.

You should try it sometime.

Commodore Hotel.

- Something wrong? - Gotta write up my fare report.

So, what do you think of that

corporate prepackaged pop

kids like these days?

Hate it.

Hmm.

J‘J‘ Uh oh J‘J‘

J‘J‘ Fell in love again J‘J‘

Hey, I just said--

J‘J‘ Tell all my friends If

How you doing? Ollie, filling in.

What happened to Frank?

I heard some contest guy showed up at his door.

Free trip to Aruba.

Phuh. Why him and not me?

Tell me about it.

You have a good one.

Good cold one's more like it.

Free trip to Aruba?

Had to send Frank somewhere.

Shame how he dropped his keycard though.

'I never heard of Nuvo-Gen or-or Halstrom'

'until last night.‘

This girl I've been seeing

she-she slipped it to me.

Said l-l could run with it.

The girl.

Tell me more.

She's just a girl.

Blond hair, blue eyes.

Real farmer's daughter type.

And a handshake like a vice?

Yeah, really strong. How'd you--

- How long you been seeing her? - About a week.

She have bad dreams?

More like tossing and turning.

Can't sleep at night.

Halstrom was getting drowned in e-mails

from their legal department.

Sounds like they were scared he was gonna

blow the whistle on something.

Doesn't say what.

I don't believe it.

That crazy old Hardcastle was right.

These guys claim they're splicing heartier tomatoes

but really they've been experimenting

with metahuman DNA.

Not just any DNA

MyDNA.

Look.

This folder was marked "Metropolis Training Exercises."

It's me.

'Um, a little more

mature than you.‘

But I see your point.

They cloned me.

We must have some sort of psychic link.

That's why I'm seeing things I didn't do.

What is this place?

It's a hologram chamber.

Hard light constructs.

Must be a training program.

'My training program.‘

'And so.‘

'What do you think?‘

It's important that you like yourself

and I'm you--

just accelerated a few extra years

plus better trained.

And I have to say

a heck of a lot smarter.

You lured us here.

After your Iackeys couldn't get rid of me at S.T.A.R

you decided to deal with me yourself

on your home turf.

It's like you're reading my mind.

Which is actually the problem

and why you have to die.

'Arrow!‘

J‘J‘ Fell in love again J‘J‘

J‘J‘ What am I gonna tell my friends J‘J‘

II It just happened J‘J‘

N You walked in my door J‘J‘

J‘J‘ And now I don't wanna J‘J‘

J‘J‘ Be alone no more N

J‘J‘ Oops I've done it If

J‘J‘ Told you how I feel J‘J‘

J‘J‘ Just hope this time J‘J‘

J‘J‘ That our love is real J‘J‘

Argh.

Ah.

Anything break?

Just my stride.

Nap's over.

Come on.

Next time, get your own dreams.

- Who do you work for? - Really?

At the top, even I don't know that.

But I do know I can't work in secret

if you keep seeing what I do.

So, sayonara, sister.

(Vic) 'That's not the only reason, is it?'

You were setting up this bait

even before Supergirl started asking questions.

It's because the link works both ways, doesn't it?

While she was seeing what you were doing

you were feeling her conscience.

That's why you couldn't sleep at night.

And I bet it got in the way of your work.

It bites having someone in your head

doesn't it?

You don't know what you're talking about.

No?

Prove it.

Kill me.

Aah!

Understood.

No! I can do this.

It's too late!

We searched what was left of the place

but we never found the clone.

Maybe there was nothing to find.

Or that's what they want us to think.

I'm just glad you're okay, Supergirl.

Professor, to make this clone of me

they would have needed a DNA sample.

Is there any chance it came from your lab?

No, we always destroy

genetic material after surgery.

It's standard procedure.

Okay, thanks, professor.

'Give my best to Superman.'

Will do. Bye.

I still don't get why someone

cloned you in the first place.

'This all started because Superman went renegade.‘

They want a Superhuman alien on their side

if it ever happens again.

Whoever they are.

'You rest.‘

We'll have you fixed up in no time.

Galatea.
