• Supergirl : What happened?

  Alex Danvers : You saved the world. And then I saved you with your pod. You're not the only bad-ass in the family.

• Maxwell Lord : [finds them all together]  Well, isn't this a Hallmark moment?

  Alex Danvers : Don't you have someplace better to be? Like at Lord Tech? Helping your employees get through what just happened?

  Maxwell Lord : That's what corporate shrinks are on retainer for. Me, I'm more worried about what's still happening.

  Supergirl : Still happening? Everyone's been protected.

  [shakes her head] 

  Supergirl : No one's mind is being controlled.

  Maxwell Lord : 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 tenfold, and is rising exponentially.

  Eliza Danvers : Amplified? To what end?

  Maxwell Lord : Emergency rooms all over the city have been filled by people complaining about headaches. They're from Myriad, which, by my calculations, will continue to amplify, until

  [makes explosive gesture] 

  Maxwell Lord : pop goes the cranium. The Kryptonians couldn't control us. So, instead, they're going to kill us. All of us.

• Maxwell Lord : The Kryptonians were using Myriad for mind control because the frequency penetrates neural tissue. Now they're increasing the frequency. Exponentially. We're talking terahertz jumps. That's like using an Uzi on a mosquito.

  Alex Danvers : And we're the mosquito.

  Maxwell Lord : Once the wave reaches it's full potential, the electromagnetic energy will create enough pressure to...

  [sighs wearily] 

  Supergirl : ...to kill every human on the planet, like you said. I need to tell James and Winn.

  [starts leaving] 

  Maxwell Lord : [sneering at her]  Let's not get our cape in a bunch.

  Lucy Lane : He's right. Telling them wouldn't do us any good right now.

  Alex Danvers : How long do we have?

  Maxwell Lord : Four hours. I usually love a good countdown, but this is bad. This is really bad.

  Lucy Lane : Think you can find the source so we can shut it down?

  Maxwell Lord : You're lucky I work well under pressure.

• Kara Danvers : What was that?

  Alex Danvers : Nothing good.
