Supergirl Transcripts - 01x20 - Better Angels
Kara: When I was a child, my planet Krypton was dying. 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. And so I hid my powers until recently
when an accident forced me to reveal myself to the world. To most people I'm an
assistant at Catco Worldwide Media. But in secret, I work with my adoptive sister for
the DEO to protect my city from alien life and anyone else that means to cause it
harm. I am Supergirl.
James?
Catch.
No!
Oh, my God.
If you come to National City, Myriad will take over you too.
Either way...
You lose.
Ugh.

You're reunited with Astra in the light of Rao, you tell her her wishes have all come
true.
You're not gonna hurt me. You're not gonna hurt Kara.
We are a family.
Stronger together.
You are Alex Danvers and nothing on Earth can change that.
Mom?
Yes.
I'm sorry.

Of hope.
Of hope.
With a speech.
A speech?
But how will she cut through Myriad and reach the people?
Max?
Maxwell: Myriad works by shutting down the connection between the amygdala and
the rostral anterior cingulate cortex.
The parts of the human brain that give rise to optimism and hope.
Under Myriad, I could see, I could hear, but it was like I was a complete stranger to
myself.
And then my mother said something about my father and it was like a switch went off
in my brain.
And that's what she's gonna give them once Max can kick start the connections.
If I can get her speech on TV and the symbol on computers and phones, I'm even
more of a genius than I thought.
In three, two...

Mothers and fathers, friends and neighbors, children, everyone, suddenly stopped by a
force of evil as great as this world has ever known.
Your attacker has sought to take your free will, your individuality, your spirit.
I know.
But I found out that there is so much love in this world out there for the taking, and
you, the people of National City, you helped me.
(GASPS)
You made me stronger than I ever thought possible, and I love you for that.
Now, in each and every one of you, there is a light, a spirit, that cannot be snuffed out.
Hope.
Hope.
That when faced with an enemy determined to destroy your spirit, you will fight back
and thrive.
Hope.
That those who once may have shunned you will, in a moment of crisis, come to your
aid.
Hope.
That you will see again the faces of those you love and perhaps even those you have
lost.

It's working.

I have failed.
That child.
What do we do?
We k*ll the humans and we leave Kara Zor-El behind as queen of a dead Earth.
Thank you.
Winn: Kara.
Hi.
Hey.
Yeah.
(CHUCKLES)
Hey, Kara, nobody could have saved all three of us. Not even Clark.
Well, the DEO is working to find Non and Indigo, and when they do, they'll pay for
what they did.
James: Yeah.
Well, I'm just happy that you're safe and the three of us are back together.
(CHUCKLES) Me too.
But I think we should talk about that thing that happened, uh, right before Myriad
struck.

Hmm.
I kissed you.
You did.
So, I'm sorry if I kissed you when you weren't in control of yourself, because I am all
about consent.
Mostly.

Later?
Later.
Yeah.

As long as you keep treating everything as black and white, you're gonna breeding the
same type of hate and resentment that allowed the Kryptonians to try to destroy us
today.
(SIGHS DEEPLY)
Oh, no.
Having your mind controlled and getting into a death match with me is a lot for one
day.
Alex, I have to ask you something and I want you to tell me the truth.
Why did you and J'onn J'onzz really come to see me in Midvale?
What?
No.
J'onn saw into the mind of the man that captured him.

Why would they bring your father there and keep him there for so long?
I don't know.
But once Non and Indigo are captured, J'onn and I are gonna go find him and we're
gonna bring him home.
We all will.
Still happening?
True. But I went to see how much damage the Kryptonians had done to my LTE
network and I found out that since we ended their mind control, the Myriad wave has
been amplified ten-fold and is rising exponentially.
Emergency rooms all over the city have been filled with people complaining about
headaches.
They're from Myriad, which, by my calculations, will continue to amplify until pop goes
the cranium.
The Kryptonians couldn't control us, so instead, they're going to k*ll us.
All of us.
The Kryptonians were using Myriad for mind control because the frequency penetrates
neural tissue.
Exponentially.
Once the wave reaches its full potential, the electromagnetic energy will create enough
pressure to... (SIGHS)

He's right.
Four hours.
Your sidekick J'onn J'onzz is injured, the DEO's resources have been depleted from the
prison break, and even if they weren't, no human can go out there.
Their heads would explode if they got too close to the source.
I just want you to know what you're facing, so that you're prepared.
Good.

Winn: Hey.
Whoa.
Really?
Just, no offense, you just kinda have that little hypoglycemic I-haven't-eaten-in-25-
minutes look. (CHUCKLES)
Sorry. Here.
Thank you.
For what? You're the one that, uh, that just saved everyone from super mind-control

From my first day at work here, (INHALES DEEPLY) my first day as Supergirl, your
friendship has been one of the best parts of my life.
Cat: Ker-rah!
Ker-rah, go get me one of those Moon Juice smoothies with the Chinese herbs that
Gwyneth keeps talking about.
(STAMMERING)
And Gwyneth.
Not true.
I don't like the Coldplay guy, but ever since they consciously uncoupled, I like Gwynny
more than ever.
You see, Ker-rah, we have been through hell in the last few days.

We survived.
Lesson, don't ever take life for granted, always take good care of yourself, reject the
latte and drink the green juice.
Carpe diem.
Ms. Grant.
I just want you to know that working for you is a true honor.
You are my role model and you lead this city with such strength and grace, and
underneath that prickly exterior, ahem, you have the biggest heart of anyone I know.
I just...
I'm just trying to say thank you for being an amazing mentor and friend.
Okay, so, that was either my eulogy or your dictated su1c1de note.
Carpe diem.
Okay. Okay.
Hey.
Hey.
You were?
Yeah.
I was thinking that we should finish that conversation that we started earlier that was
interrupted.
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah, it does.
I mean, you and me, maybe we're just not meant to be.

And now, the most important thing to me is that you find happiness.
Kara, wait.
Kara, why are you saying this? What's going on with you?
Nothing. I just...
Kara.
Don't be.
Max Lord says he's very close to finding the source of the Myriad wave, and once he
does, I'll have my mission.
James Olsen called Lucy to tell her that you've been acting strange, like you were
saying goodbye or something.
I just...
I didn't say the things that needed to be said when I left Krypton and I wanted to
make sure that I said them now.
Just in case.
But my mother didn't send me to Earth to fall in love with a human, have children, live
in a house with a white picket fence.

Found 'em.
An Omegahedron.
It's powering the Myriad wave, and its energy is building by the second.
We concealed it using its own stealth technology, cordoned off the area and called it a
nuclear test zone.
Release him.
Now.
I got it.
Let's do this.
Ready for the journey that awaits once we dispense with the two of you.
Take it.

All you'll be able do is sit back and watch everyone around you die.
But between Krypton and Mars, I guess that's old hat for you two.
(TIMER BEEPING)
We defeated Non and Indigo, but we can't stop the Myriad wave and we can't power
the ship.
It's the only way we can get Myriad off the planet.
There's no gravity.
You wouldn't be able to generate thrust, you wouldn't be able to breathe, you wouldn't
be able to get back.
I was sent to protect Earth and that's what I'm gonna do.
I need you to promise me that when you find Jeremiah, you'll tell him that I never
stopped wearing the glasses.
He needs to know that, that everything good I did, it came from you being my sister.

Ten-hut!
As am I.
She's also aware of the remarkable courage you demonstrated, J'onn J'onzz.
She's granting you a full pardon and reinstating you as director of the DEO.
In my absence, Major Lane has performed her duty as director with expertise and
integrity.
And if there's one thing I've learned in my lifetimes, it's that leaders are stronger
working together.
From now on, we're all on the same team, no more secrets.
And even though we have defeated Non and Myriad, evil still persists and there are
ever more dangers that we face.
Our enemies remain at home, abroad and in the skies beyond our world.

Ker-rah, for the last two years, you have done nothing but arrange my travel perfectly
and manage my schedule flawlessly.
What am I...
Well, I want you to find me a new assistant, for starters and then I want you to take a
few days, I want you to think about what you want, and then I'll think about what you
might have to offer, and then we'll talk.
And the money won't be much different, or any different, but this is a step up for you,
Ker-rah.
And if you take advantage of it, I really believe that you can change the world.
Ms. Grant.
Hmm?
Um... Me too.
(EXHALES)
Okay, do the forks go on the left or the right, I can never remember.
Six, seven... Hey, you guys, um, we have, we have one extra setting.
I give you my word. We're gonna find Project Cadmus, we're gonna bring him home.
