All language subtitles for Supergirl S04 E15 O Brother Where Art Thou 720p

Previously onSupergirl...

Look what they did to Lex.

He could've fixed this
planet for generations.

Lex went insane.

The Staff of Kalar.

The staff of your god
H'ronmeer is a psychic weapon.

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

I want this serum as
quickly as you do,

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

I just need more time.

Where are you, Manchester?

Today I find you
like a Manhunter.

"Against other things,"

it is possible to
obtain security,

but when it comes to death,

"we human beings all live
in an unwalled city."

Do you know who said that?

Please, Lex,

you don't have to do this.

I'm doing this for us,

for the entire human race.

Listen down below.

They're already cheering.

And it was Epicurus, by the way.

An aphorism 230 years old,

and yet still as apt as ever.

You sound like a
freshman philosophy major

and you're gonna kill
millions of people.

The world can't live
under a red sun.

Neither can Superman.

You see, Sis, we as a people

have become soft and fat,

and stupid.

This is the Metropolis
Police Department.

Surrender!

Where was I?

My God, Lex, you killed them.

Oh, that's right.
We must put faith in ourselves,

but instead, we look up to him,

with big glassy eyes because
we think he's invincible.

It's my duty to dispel
the world of that notion.

And when he dies,

they will finally wake up

and see him for
what he really was,

a false god.

At least he's a good man.

He is not a man!

I was the Man of
Tomorrow, not him!

Not him!

So it's all ego, then?

No, it's science.

I want to see if the
Kryptonian pretender can bleed.

Even gods can die.

You'll see.

Everyone will see.

And then,
they're gonna thank me.

A stroke, huh?

You wanted to see me
in person that badly?

What can I say, Sis?

I missed you.

James! Oh, my God.

James.

James.

They call this a mercy furlough.

Thank you, Officer.
That'll be all.

They never let me
out of their sight.

As if I'd run away like a
dog set loose from his leash.

Well, you would.

Of course, I would.

But I can't.
I'm numb top to bottom.

My guts are in knots,
there's blood in my...

Okay, that's enough.

I'm dying.

I know.

That's it. You know?

Well, you've only mentioned
it at the start and the end

of every phone call
for the last six weeks.

I'm not used to needing help.

It's weak, pathetic.

I'm pathetic.

Your white blood cell
count has stabilized.

You're not gonna die today.

I won't die tomorrow either if
you finish the Harun-El serum.

I'm not risking human lives on
an experimental untested drug.

What was the point of pulling
strings to get you DEO resources

if not to test your
drug on humans?

I didn't ask for that.

And if Colonel Haley knew
you were behind it...

She doesn't. No one does.

Except the person whose
strings you're pulling.

But now I wonder if you
didn't wanna just pull up

a front-row seat to watch
me wither away and die.

I'm not the one who accidentally
poisoned myself with Kryptonite

in a quixotic attempt to
kill an invincible man.

And while I do find the irony

that you now need black Kryptonite
to cure yourself just delicious,

you are my brother, Lex.

I do want to save you.

Besides, how can you pay your debt
to society if you're already dead?

Hmm, now there's my sister.

Lena, Mr. Luthor,
I'm sorry to interrupt...

That's okay, honey.
I'll take a flat white.

And you can call me Lex.

It's easier to write on the cup.

What is it, Eve?

It's James.

Oh, Kara, thank God you're okay.

I heard what happened at
CatCo, and I wasn't sure.

No one else was
hurt, just James.

- Is he all right?
- They're about to operate,

but his, um,
his spine was badly injured.

We don't know
what's gonna happen.

Okay, where is he?

He's upstairs, but they said
he can't have visitors yet.

Well, I'm not a visitor.
I own this hospital.

Little boxes, comrade.

What exactly transpired?

All I know is that he was shot
in his own office from behind.

They used a hollow-point bullet.
It...

splintered.

Who would so
something so horrible?

Someone without a soul.

This has to be Manchester Black.

At the march, he threatened me.

He swore to come after me and my
family, everyone I care about.

Seems he started with James.

We have to find him.

Stay with James.

He needs his friends right now.

I'll find Manchester.

This ends today.

Lena,
I'm so sorry this is happening,

but you and I both know the
limitations of modern medicine.

I mean, even best case scenario
would leave James paralyzed.

Your serum could
heal him entirely.

Or it can kill him.

I can't summon a breakthrough
through sheer force of will.

Then how is it that every time
I've seen you work under pressure,

you have done exactly that?

Lena, you have all of L-Corp,

and you have the DEO
at your disposal.

I mean, there must be some
resource that you're not utilizing.

Keep me updated.

I found Manchester.

He's done something terrible.
I can sense it.

- I'm coming with you.
- All right.

Hey. Where are you going?

After Manchester Black.
He's the one responsible.

Well, be safe.
Kara and I can hold down the fort.

No, I, uh...

I... I have to go to CatCo.

Now? I mean,
James is your best friend.

He would want to know that someone
could be there if he couldn't.

What if something happens?

I'll be back soon.

What is this place?

This is where my father died.

- Supergirl!
- I'm on it.

Hello, J'onn.

How are you capable of this?

When you broke into my mind to stop
me from killing the Lockwood brood,

you opened up a motorway.

It goes both ways.

So, whenever you poke
around in my mind

I can poke around in yours.

So, I did.

And lookie what I found.

Your peoples most
powerful weapon.

You don't know what
you're toying with.

Oh, but I do.

I dug deep into your mind.
And the ground.

You call yourself a man of
peace, Martian,

but your god was one of wrath!

You burned my father's grave
to teach me a theology lesson?

You forget H'ronmeer's
punishments.

You're a hypocrite.

Wake up, man!

It's time you followed
the true righteous path.

And we can put a stop to the hate
that's burning this world up,

just like it burned up Mars.

We can stop it together.

I heard everything.

J'onn, what did he mean when
he said "the punishments"?

Have you ever noticed that her
eyes seem to follow you everywhere?

Lex...

Lex, it's worse than I thought.

If we don't help him,
James is gonna die.

Why do you even
care about Jimmy?

I thought you two broke
up, and good riddance.

I pushed James away

because if he found out
about us working together,

it would destroy
our relationship.

And now, you're asking me to
work with you to save him?

You were right,
the irony is delicious.

Help me fix the Harun-El,

and I can save both you and him.

I haven't been able to separate the drug's
more curative properties from its...

extra-normal ones.

Super powers.

Sounds less silly the more you say it.
Try it.

Its super powers is what
makes this drug so lethal.

Okay? The powers need to
be isolated and dosed out.

And you have more experience
working with Kryptonite,

in all of its forms,
than anyone else.

So, please help me.

You trust me?

Would you trust me if I did?

But I need you,

and that's enough.

Lex and Lena Luthor,

teaming up to save
Superman's best pal.

What would Mother think?

My dreams are failing me.

I should've seen this coming.

What good am I as a hero if I can't
even protect the people that I love?

What about my powers?

Of deduction.

It should've been I
that predicted this.

A backlash always follows a
political success like the march.

And Manchester is still in
possession of my Legion ring.

He could use it to fly
into CatCo undetected.

I am to blame.

Are you guys all right?

Mr. Olsen is stable.

We were able to remove a
significant amount of shrapnel

from around his
cervical vertebra,

but I have never seen a normal
bullet cause this much damage.

We've placed him in a
medically-induced coma.

To reduce swelling, of course.

There are going to be some decisions
to make. Who is next of kin?

Well, there's...
There's no family present,

but I can act as next of kin.

We need a family member.

Look, I'm FBI,
and I have extensive medical training...

- Sorry, without a court order...
- I'm next of kin.

Sorry, I just got off a red-eye.

I'm Kelly Olsen, James' sister.

Did you say FBI?

Are you Kara's sister?

Yeah, um, I'm Alex.

It's nice to finally meet you.

I wish it was under
better circumstances.

I'd like to see
James, right away.

- Absolutely.
- Okay.

And these people are
family, too.

Make sure they have access.

It really is a
remarkable substance.

It started with mice.

Sure, a supraprimate.

It's like your're running a lab
out of a Wikipedia handbook.

No wonder you're
so behind schedule.

Are you going to taunt and
provoke me the entire time?

This is how we've worked
together ever since we were kids.

You propose a theory,
I tell you how wrong you are,

and it drives you to be better.

And you call that
working together?

You're...

You're brilliant and driven

and defiant.

Always were.
You just needed someone to defy.

Wait. Are you actually
taking credit for my success?

You were always driven to impress me.
Always.

And if I would've
given you an inch,

if I would've thrown
you a "good job"

or cried out "that's wonderful" every
time you showed me one of your toys,

do you think you would've been
as successful as you are...

Oh, well, that's unfortunate.

We need some water in here.

Lex, just breathe, okay?

Thank you.

He can lap it up like a dog.

- How dare you!
- It's okay, Sis.

I'm used to it.

I'm not very popular in prison.

What I was trying to say is...

you were...

wonderful.

You always...

wowed me. Always.

Look at you.
You made Kryptonite.

Even I couldn't do that.

I'm proud of you.

Let's get back to work.

This sentimentality will kill
me faster than the cancer.

H'ronmeer tested the
Martian people in many ways.

And when they failed
him, they were punished.

A god of wrath.

We can't just track Manchester.

We'll have to find
him another way.

The sacred symbols.

Your Bible.

Maybe they can tell us what
Manchester is planning to do next.

The symbols are full of tales
of H'ronmeer's vengeance.

When he would use violence
to enforce moral law.

Manchester can use the Staff to
recreate the punishments, one by one.

All because I let
him into my head.

All to force me into violence.

You told me yourself you
thought Manchester was a test.

Don't let him bait you.

Let's find him and
let's stop him.

Yes.

Alex, it's me.
I'm just checking in on James.

Call me back, okay?

Eve, what's wrong?

I understand you wanting to save your
dying brother, no matter what he did.

But now we're giving him full access to
everything in order to save Mr. Olsen.

Look, I care about James, too.

But I just wanna make sure that
you're not gonna let your sympathy

jeopardize everything that
you've been working toward.

Eve, I know what my brother's
capable of more than anyone.

But I truly believe his lone
scheme right now is just to live.

I don't think he can imagine
the world without him in it.

Okay?

Come on, let's get back to work.

What's going on?

He's making a mess
of your floor.

I'll have you arrested!

Don't blame him.
He knows not what he does.

He's on a government
salary after all.

Give me the keys.

- You can't be serious.
- Give me the keys now!

It's your funeral, lady.

Eve.

How's he doing?

Still unconscious but
that means he's healing,

so I'll take it.

Thank you for giving us access.

James means the world to us.

Of course. James has always been more
of a "chosen family" kind of guy.

Speaking of,
where is your sister?

We need help in here!

He's coding. Get them out.

Pressure's dropping.

Bring in the crash cart.
He needs to be intubated.

Your brother's
bleeding internally.

Surgery poses a great risk
to James' spinal cord,

but if we don't operate,
he'll continue to bleed out.

- He might die?
- Correct.

- Yeah, let's do the surgery.
- We'll prep him right away.

Look, there is another option.

It's a better one.

Lena's working with the
government on an experimental drug

that could heal James entirely.

Okay. Why does that sound
too good to be true?

Because it's not ready yet.

But I spoke to her, and she said
that she just needs a few more hours

to render the drug non-lethal.

You're proposing that we
hold off on James' surgery,

risking his life for hours,

only to administer a drug
that might still kill him?

The operation is
gonna be invasive,

and it's gonna be traumatic
to James' entire system.

He will be lucky if paralysis
is his only after-effect.

You haven't seen Lena work.

I have watched her do incredible
and impossible things.

I understand that
you trust this woman,

but I don't know her.

All I know is that she and
James had a messy break-up,

and that her family has
done some terrible things,

many of them to my brother.

Those things have
nothing to do with Lena.

That doesn't mean I'm willing to
put my brother's life in her hands.

I just want what's
best for James.

So do I.

BPM's 92 and rising.

What was that tutor's name?

- Krinick.
- Yes. Yes, that's right.

Okay, injecting now.

If I misquoted my
Salutati, 124 and rising,

she would make me stand
in a corner and repeat,

"I do not like myself"
in perfect Latin.

No wonder you
became a sociopath.

If the Latin fits.

143 and rising.

Pull back on the
drip just a touch.

No, that's how we
lost the last one.

- That was a tad, not a touch.
- You call that scientific?

Do you want this
to succeed or not?

Pulling back a touch.

165.

162.

152.

- It's dropping.
- The tumor's reduced by half.

BPM's still a little high.

No, the heart's still beating.

We've almost got it.

It's Alex.

You should take that.

Alex. Is James okay?

No, Kara.

James' life is at stake

and you left me here alone.

And he's heading
into surgery again.

What? Why?

He's bleeding internally.

And his sister wanted
the doctors to operate...

Hang on. Kelly's there?
What is happening?

You would know if you were here.

We all need you here, Kara.

He's headed into a very
dangerous operation,

and you may never
get to say goodbye.

Where are you, exactly?

CatCo? Because I called there,

and they said that you
haven't been there all day.

I'm...
I'm helping J'onn with a lead.

J'onn needs a reporter to
help fight Manchester Black?

I mean, what are you gonna do exactly?
Gonna interview him?

No, it's not...

The operation's about to begin.

I have to go call Lena.

Good luck with
your investigation.

We're so close.

At this point,
it's 99% non-lethal.

It doesn't matter now.

James is in surgery.

So, why are you still here?

I can't help James now.

Did I ever tell you

about my dog, Ignatius?

Before you joined our family,

he was my closest companion.

And when I was seven,

he had to be put down.

If you're gonna continue to
compare James to your dying dog,

I'm not sure I'm gonna be
amenable to your point.

I wanted to be there
for the procedure.

But Mother insisted that I go
on a business trip with Father.

She thought I was
being too sentimental.

That's our mom.

That's my mom.

A trip with Father,

that sounds like something that
ordinarily would've pleased me.

But on this particular trip,

he brought a woman with him,

and insisted that she
go everywhere with us.

So, here I was,

seven years old, dog dying,

Father ignoring me.

Is there a point to this story?

At first,
I swore to loathe this woman.

How dare she take my father from
me at the moment I needed him most?

But I couldn't keep my promise.

Because she was wonderful.

She was so kind to me.

On the day they put Ignatius
down, she embraced me,

and sang me this
beautiful Irish song.

By the end of the trip,

I wished that she was my mother.

But she wasn't your mother.

She was yours.

I want you to know
with certainty

that while I came from poison,

you came from love.

And if the rest of this family
stands steadily in darkness,

you will always
fall into the light.

I knew that from the
moment I met her.

Jimmy needs you now, Lena.

It's James.

You can send the guard back in.

J'onn.

Kara, how is Alex...

Dead, like me.

You stood idly by, J'onn.

You just sat there,

and you waited.

And you prayed.

And you just sat there.

While they came for us!

You're not real.

- We are.
- So real.

Manchester, show yourself!

We're the ones
you couldn't save.

Who you wouldn't save.

Just like your own daughters!

Alex! No!

Alex!

Kara!

No!

J'onn? J'onn?

J'onn! Hey! Hey, I'm here.

It's me.
You're okay, you're safe.

Manchester was trying to
show me what could happen

if I continue to sit idly by.

I have left you and Alex
alone to face dangers.

Is choosing the path of peace

worth it if it
means I could lose

everyone I care about?

After what happened on Krypton,

the way my mom stood
by and did nothing,

I've always sworn that if I can
act, I will.

But until you took
your vow of peace,

I didn't truly understand

that simply by standing with someone
you can make them feel braver.

J'onn, the only reason Alex and
I can face danger the way we do

is because we know
you're standing by us.

In whatever way you choose.

Thank you.

What should we do now?

Well, clearly,
Manchester wants you to hunt him,

so he can exploit your psychic
connection and attack you,

and we've just been
playing into his hands.

So, maybe the best
thing to do now

is let him come to us.

It's a peace offering.

I'm sorry about before.
I was out of line.

You care about James.

That's nothing to apologize for.

Well...

But I will take it.

- Oh.
- Yes. Thanks.

Oh. Jell-O really is the
perfect hospital food.

It's a metaphor for trauma.

If you shake it, it wobbles,

but it still holds its form.

If you dig in too deep,
it's never the same.

You don't seem to be
wobbling very much,

given the circumstances.

- Military?
- Psychologist, yeah.

Mmm.

I have pretty much seen it all.

Plus, this is the 12th time

that I have visited
James in the hospital.

- Wow.
- You know my brother,

he's always running off

and diving into
something dangerous.

It was the way he
coped when things

got hard at home.

If you just keep running
then you don't have to stop

and feel how much
you're hurting.

That sounds familiar.

- Kara!
- Hi.

Oh, it's been forever.

Sorry it took me so
long to get here.

You were where you needed to be.

I am now.

I am going to go and
find more snacks.

Yeah, I'll come with you.

- Okay, cool.
- J'onn, by the way.

Oh, cool name.

- French?
- Close.

So, you came.

I did, and I brought a whole
bunch of excuses with me.

But deep down, I think I just...

couldn't bear standing
by doing nothing.

It's scary, feeling helpless.

- It's terrifying.
- Yeah.

But being here with
you isn't nothing.

It's everything.

Come here.

Kara, Alex.

- Where is he?
- Um...

- He's this way.
- Yeah, this way.

Okay.

Are you okay?

I would be better if I
could just get a Choco!

I usually get along
so well with machines.

He's gonna be okay.

It's not just James.

Only months ago,
Supergirl nearly died.

And don't even get me started on the
AI plate that has forced me to...

just give up my
entire existence!

Have I mentioned that every single
one of my ancestors is evil?

And Mon-El, well,

he was always a bit dismissive.

Microaggressions are
their own form of trauma.

I'm...

I'm sorry. I think...

I think this event has
forced me to process

every difficult thing I
have ever experienced.

And I still can't
even get a Choco...

Power surge?

Manchester's at the dam.

It powers the whole city.

With the Staff,
he can wipe it out.

Let's go.

James!
He's in the middle of surgery!

Where are the backup generators?

Should be on right now.

We can't finish without power.
He'll bleed out.

Manchester!

Well, well, it's about time.

Come and get it,
Martian of peace!

The dam's cracked.

He's gonna flood the whole city.

Go. This war is mine.

I picked the safe option.

This isn't supposed to happen
when you pick the safe option.

Kelly, look, no one could've
predicted that this was gonna happen.

You made the best decision that
you could for your brother,

and Lena's drug wasn't ready then.
But it's ready now.

Now, look, I know you have 1,000
reasons to not trust Lena Luthor,

but I'm not asking
you to trust her.

I'm asking that you trust me.

- Let's do it.
- Okay.

Hi. Sorry,
didn't mean to eavesdrop,

nasty habit,
but I heard what you just said.

I brought the
drug, just in case.

We have to find Lena now.

Damn it!

Stop this madness!

You'll kill thousands
of innocent people.

This world is already
tearing itself apart.

If you want to stop
that, don't fight me.

Join me.

Never.

What I'm about to do
is absolutely illegal.

Any witnesses will be considered
accessories to a crime.

- Miss Luthor.
- Leave now before I fire you.

If you don't stand up and
fight, you'll lose everything.

Again.

K'hym.

T'ania.

No.

Run. Run!

No. No!

Hey.

You're beautiful.

J'onn.

Where's Manchester?

Let's go see James.

I only got shot once.
You didn't have to come all this way.

Aw,
you never invite me to visit.

How else was I gonna
meet your friends?

They're pretty
great, by the way.

One of them even
saved your life.

Yeah, about that...

- Thank you.
- I'm just glad you're okay.

Besides, Supergirl was the one that
found you. You should be thanking her.

Yeah.

Oh. I know you just
came back from the dead,

but you're about to
wish that you didn't

because I called Mom.

I think that's our cue.

No, she...
Don't leave me alone. Guys.

- Good luck, honey.
- You've been there for me.

Hey, Mom.

You should give that
ring back to Brainy.

He'll be happy to see it.

I'm not ready to
explain how I got it.

James is okay.

The whole city is okay

because of you.

Yeah, but at what cost?

Manchester is dead.

I know you're trying to
follow your father's code,

but what happened today

doesn't change who
you're trying to be.

But I don't know who that
is, Kara.

One thing I do know,

I am not a man of peace.

If I may...

- We don't need to talk about it.
- I must.

Even if it hurts.

A wise man once said,

"Relationships based on intense
experiences never work."

What are you...

The wise man is Keanu Reeves.

A truth-teller is
there ever was one.

It pains me to say, you and I...

we can never be together.

All right, well,
if Keanu Reeves says...

Don't speak.
It only makes this more difficult.

Whatever you say, wildcat.

You know, most bad kids burn
ants using a magnifying glass.

But not you.

No, you would build ant hills
out of mud and twigs, to scale.

It would take you
hours, sometimes days.

And then, you would trick the ants
into thinking they were going home.

They would follow
the maze you laid out

and walk right
into an open flame.

I'm sorry,
exactly what are you accusing me of?

The power in the hospital didn't go
off because of the attack on the dam.

You did that.

And I know because the L-Corp foundation
has its name on every scalpel,

bench, and backup
generator in the place.

Hmm. Quite the
philanthropist you've become.

There were children
in that hospital, Lex.

You took advantage of
the attack on the dam

to kill the power,
while James was on the operating table.

You risked his life and the
lives of countless others

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

Aw, you figured it all out.

Well, mostly.
You missed one big thing.

Yeah, the story about my mother was
just another lie to manipulate me.

No, that was true.

That's what made
it so effective.

But I also had Jimmy shot.

Unfortunately, that wasn't as
effective a cattle prod as I'd hoped.

You are sick.

Exactly.

I'm dying.

This horrible cancer
is eating me up

and you are sitting pretty on the
very thing that could cure me,

and you wouldn't even test it!

God knows I'm not going to test an
experimental, lethal drug on myself,

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,

never give you the cure.

Take him away.

Lena... Lena, I...

I'm disappointed that
this is your reaction,

but I'm not surprised.

Which is why I had
someone give me the cure

ten minutes ago.

- You're dead.
- No, you're dead.

No. No. No!

Image inducers.
I have to say, I was skeptical,

but they really
do come in handy.

Miss Tessmacher!

Eve.

Sorry, not sorry.

- How long?
- Forever.

It's nothing personal.

Mayday, Mayday.
Individual one...

Mmm. That won't be
necessary, Miss Tessmacher.

My sister may be
happy to let me die,

but I have no intention
of killing her.

Are you sure about that, boss?

She's a real smarty two-shoes.

It's like food in your teeth.

You're gonna thank me one day.

Everyone will. I'm sure of it.

Stay here and take care of her.

Yes, Mr. Luthor.

Freeze!

Indeed.

Supergirl.

Nice to finally meet you.
