- Supergirl: I have to stop him.
- Eliza Danvers: Kara, you barely escaped with your life.
- Alex Danvers: And he has a weapon that killed Red Daughter.
- Supergirl: He did experiments on her in Kaznia. Ke knows how to take her down, but he still needed Red Daughter to kill me.
- Alex Danvers: You basically died.
- Supergirl: But I survived. And Lex doesn't know that. That's to my advantage.
- Eliza Danvers: Lex and the President have succeeded in convincing the people that all aliens are dangerous. That Supergirl is the enemy.
- Eliza Danvers: And Lex is the hero.
- Supergirl: Well, I guess it's my job to show them who Lex really is. Show them the truth.
- Eliza Danvers: I just fear that the people won't listen.
- Supergirl: No, I will not let fear win. And with my sister by my side, anything is possible.
- Querl Dox: Dreamer's astral projection is pure dream energy, and as such, while she cannot interact with us, she can interact and ionize other energy. Electrons, to be exact.
- [breathing onto a window]
- Querl Dox: Dreamer, concentrate your energy on the molecules in this water vapor, and ionize it.
- Kara Danvers: I think he means write on it.
- Querl Dox: [seeing what she writes] Shelley Island. Of course.
- Kara Danvers: They're in trouble.
- Querl Dox: I'll go get James.
- Alex Danvers: [getting into superhero mode, Kara removes her glasses] I really missed that.
- Ben Lockwood: Supergirl! Me and my supercharged friends came here to deal with Luthor and the dangerous aliens that he brought here. But I'm so glad that you came here, too.
- James Olsen: [watching news reports of Baker's removal from office] Talk about power of the press.
- Kara Danvers: Says my injured friend. I still can't believe what happened to your eye.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: Vice President Plastino has lifted martial law and reinstated the Alien Amnesty Act until such a time as a full vote can be held in Congress. On another note, I want to send a message to Supergirl, wherever she may be. For a moment, this country doubted you. But we won't make that mistake again. A grateful nation thanks you for your service.
- Querl Dox: See? I told you. He can't put out enough energy.
- Dreamer: He can if I help him.
- Querl Dox: Little boxes, little boxes, boxes and boxes...
- [his voice distorting]
- Querl Dox: ...and subroutines and Socrates and Aristotle, and "Avatar", and-and-and matrices, and-and... and "Memento" and Monty Python and... Dreamer! Stop. Stop what you're doing! What you're doing doesn't make any sense.
- [becoming himself again]
- Querl Dox: No. Listen to me, Nia. I-I don't know if you can hear me, but I'm back. I'm-I'm... I-I'm realigned, and... and I realize now that everything, everything I said before was wrong. You can do this.
- [she and J'onn grunt in pain]
- Querl Dox: You're doing it! Yes, you did. You're doing this! You see? You're doing it! You're amazing! You're astounding! You're astazing Nia Nal! And I love you.
- Red Daughter: [sacrificing herself to save Kara] You were right. My Alex was nothing like your Alex. Protect your people as I protected mine.
- George Lockwood: Turning against each other has only led to more division, more hate, and more violence. There must be a better way.
- [he's asked if his perspective has changed because of what happened to Ben]
- George Lockwood: Yes. I've seen firsthand how that kind of anger can tear a family apart. I've lived that heartbreak. And I wanna make sure nobody else has to. If humans and aliens can just listen to each other, then we can stand up, united, against those who seek to divide us.
- Malefic J'onzz: Where am I?
- The Monitor: Earth.
- Malefic J'onzz: It can't be.
- The Monitor: You've been trapped for too long. A phantom to your people. Now it is time to avenge yourself against the brother who wronged you.
- Malefic J'onzz: Will you help me?
- The Monitor: It was I that brought you here. You must walk the path yourself. Besides, I have one more place to visit.
- Malefic J'onzz: [revealing himself; in Martian] I'm coming for you, J'onn J'onzz.
- Red Daughter: I trusted you, Alex.
- Lex Luthor: You're either dumb or staggeringly naive. You had my history at your disposal. Internet accessible. If you had bothered to look, you'd have realized two things. Defending poor, broken Kaznia is a little small potatoes for Lex Luthor. But, perhaps more significantly, I hate Kryptonians. And what are you? A Kryptonian.
- Red Daughter: You should have let me die.
- Lex Luthor: Die? I have bigger plans for you.
- Red Daughter: Kara Danvers got away. I failed you.
- Lex Luthor: Oh, Ryzhaya Dch, you could never fail me.
- Red Daughter: You asked me to kill her.
- Lex Luthor: You made her bleed.
- [in Russian]
- Lex Luthor: Made her human.
- [in English]
- Lex Luthor: But still, I should have known Kryptonite alone could never kill Kara Danvers. Her heart, however, makes her weaker than Kryptonite ever could. Go and finish what we started.
- [in Russian]
- Lex Luthor: And then America will kneel before us.
- President Baker: Satellite images confirm a Kaznian force is amassing off the coast. Not that I don't trust the plan, but are you sure I shouldn't be in a bunker somewhere?
- Lex Luthor: You were a backbench, backwater Senator. Then I took out Marsdin's running mate and got you on the ticket. Then I brought down Marsdin, as well. From zero to Mr. President with the snap of my fingers. Are you seriously asking me if I'm sure about something?
- President Baker: I should have learned by now, never doubt Lex Luthor.
- Lex Luthor: [taking Baker's drink] Relax, Phil. Soon, Supergirl will be dead. And you will be America's beloved, victorious wartime president. With more allegiances and more power than any president in the history of the republic.
- President Baker: [taking his re-filled drink] Well, cheers to that.
- Lillian Luthor: Why don't we have a cup of tea while Lex tells us why he summoned us here?
- Lena Luthor: He summoned us here to gloat.
- Lex Luthor: You think so little of me, Lena. It hurts. I'm a sentimental guy. I didn't do all of this for me, I did it for us. I mean, look, we all know if I wanted you two dead, you wouldn't be treading on the presidential seal having a tea party. Everything I've done has been strategic to lead up to this very moment. The Luthor name cleared. Our family poised to take its rightful place in history.
- Lillian Luthor: And what exactly are we poised to do?
- Lex Luthor: Revolutionize energy worldwide. I'm rounding up aliens and harnessing their power to be used and sold; sort of like supercharged disposable batteries.
- Lena Luthor: That's vile!
- Lex Luthor: Vile and viable. As another world leader once said, "I don't see why men shouldn't be as cruel as nature."
- Lillian Luthor: Try not to quote Hitler in public, dear. It'll hurt the brand.
- Eve Teschmacher: We never discussed Superman. This was not the plan.
- Lex Luthor: This was always the plan. I just didn't apprise you of it.
- Eve Teschmacher: How could you not apprise me? I'm your partner.
- Lex Luthor: Not partner, Ms. Tessmacher. Protégé, um... factotum, flunky. I'm the decider. Is that clear?
- Eve Teschmacher: Our plan was to have a lifetime supply of energy. You'll waste half of that attacking Argo. Don't throw everything away over this obsession with Superman...
- Lex Luthor: Superman will be destroyed by my hand. He will burn. Come on, honey. You're gonna love it. Our victory deserves fireworks.
- Lena Luthor: Let me guess, you're having the President tied up in the Treaty Room?
- Lex Luthor: Puppets don't need to be tied up, Lena. You just hang them up by their strings.
- Lena Luthor: Well, why don't you put a blond wig on the President, and you sell him and Eve as a matching set?
- Lillian Luthor: Now, now. You two play nicely. This the first family gathering we've had in ages, and I'd like to enjoy myself.
- Lena Luthor: Your murderous son has duped the world into thinking he's Earth's hero. This is hardly Thanksgiving dinner.
- Lex Luthor: How are you alive? How did you do it?
- Supergirl: How do you think I did it? I'm Supergirl.
- Lex Luthor: Just like your cousin. No matter how many times I stamp you out, you miraculously resurface with your glossy cape and your perfect hair.
- Supergirl: Let me let you in on a little secret, Lex. Truth and justice always prevail.
- Lex Luthor: [laughs] You and your cousin are such saps.
- Alien: Please. Please don't...
- Lex Luthor: Don't worry. It won't hurt.
- Alien: No.
- [he screams as the pod door closes]
- Lex Luthor: Guess I was wrong.
- Eve Teschmacher: Alien energy transfer complete. Your gauntlet should be recharged.
- Lex Luthor: Only one way to find out.
- [to a guard above him]
- Lex Luthor: Um... excuse me, uh, stand very still.
- [he fires an energy blast, and the guard dissolves into liquid]
- Lex Luthor: Hmm. Get a mop.
- Lex Luthor: Didn't we talk about flinching?
- Eve Teschmacher: No. No, no, it's Otis. He's dead, again.
- Lex Luthor: Lockwood. There's nothing I hate more than a man with the courage of his convictions.
- Eve Teschmacher: With the superpowers to match them. Now that he's served his usefulness, we should take care of him.
- Lex Luthor: Send a team to do it. Only people you trust.
- Eve Teschmacher: [turning to leave] Yes, Mr. Luthor.
- Lex Luthor: Eve?
- Eve Teschmacher: Hmm?
- Lex Luthor: This country, this planet... it's nearly ours. Can you feel it?
- Eve Teschmacher: Ever since the moment I met you.
- Red Daughter: Supergirl is dead. What happened?
- Lex Luthor: The Kaznians invaded.
- Red Daughter: Your signal was late. I was supposed to lead the attack.
- Lex Luthor: No, Ryzhaya Dch, you did exactly what you were meant to do.
- Red Daughter: You betrayed me. Betrayed Kaznia.
- Lex Luthor: What can I say? I'm proud to be an American.
- Dreamer: I've never seen anything like this.
- Control Room Guard: Get used to it, stupid. Mr. Luthor needs stuff built for his refinery.
- [removing her restraints]
- Control Room Guard: Now you can get to work.
- Dreamer: [quietly to J'onn] Even without the dampening cuffs, no powers.
- Ben Lockwood: [seeing a placard] Shelley Island. The place is surrounded by power-dampening pylons.
- Dreamer: Without my powers, there's no way I can send Brainy our location. Maybe he should've thought of that before abandoning us like a logical idiot.
- Al: If you're going for a diversion, count me and my friends in. We've been waiting for somebody to lead us out of here. I should have predicted it would be you, J'onn J'onzz.
- Lena Luthor: Kara. I was worried. I heard the president tried to silence you.
- Kara Danvers: I'm okay.
- Lena Luthor: Thank god. And then Supergirl?
- Alex Danvers: She's alive, and she's ready to fight.
- Kara Danvers: Brainy, the president had the Secret Service wipe all of CatCo's servers, and I lost all of my evidence. Can you recover it?
- Querl Dox: [calling it onto Lena's plasma] It's already done.
- Kara Danvers: Yes. Yes! This proves that Lex has been working with Kaznia, and he used Red Daughter to attack the White House.
- Lena Luthor: It also proves that the government gave Lex alien prisoners from the DEO desert facility.
- Querl Dox: Not just the aliens from the DEO facility. J'onn J'onzz, Dreamer, and I have discovered that Lex has been transferring aliens rounded up by Ben Lockwood and bringing them to a private facility, where he's been siphoning their powers.
- Kara Danvers: My god! Well, where is this facility?
- Querl Dox: That information is forthcoming.
- Alex Danvers: Is that where J'onn and Dreamer are?
- Querl Dox: Hopefully. They have been abducted.
- Lena Luthor: What?
- Kara Danvers: Why didn't you tell us that?
- Alex Danvers: Are you serious?
- Querl Dox: That is a rather strong emotional reaction for such an insignficant detail. Our plan is to save the aliens. Those aliens will simply include J'onn and Dreamer.
- Lena's Assistant: Excuse me, Ms. Luthor, this came for you.
- Lena Luthor: Thank you.
- Alex Danvers: What is it?
- Lena Luthor: It's an invitation to the White House. From Lex.
- Kara Danvers: Lena, you can't possibly be thinking of going.
- Lena Luthor: If I don't go, Lex'll come after the people I care about, and I can't have that happen. Besides, if I see Lex, I'll be able to get some stellar quotes for my best friend's article. Speaking of which, Kara, you better start typing.
- Lena Luthor: You killed Superman's cousin, took over the country. What makes you think he's gonna sit idly by on Argo and allow this to happen?
- Lex Luthor: Ah, I was hoping you'd bring up the Man of Yesterday. The first batch of depleted aliens will charge the satellite weapon that will turn Argo into a blazing inferno, and Superman into, well, ash.
- Eve Teschmacher: May I speak with you privately?
- Lex Luthor: Excuse me for a moment. Please enjoy the view of the South Lawn, famous for its egg-rolling contest.
- Lena Luthor: You're not buying this, Mother?
- Lillian Luthor: Of course not. I've already poisoned his tea. If he'd stopped running his mouth long enough to take a sip, he'd be dead by now.
- Querl Dox: Task executed. Lillian Luthor's extraction device is now mobilized. We can use it extract the Harun-El from Ben Lockwood's system whenever and wherever we encounter him.
- Alex Danvers: Well, then we can use it to extract from James.
- Querl Dox: But first... the time is exactly... now.
- Dreamer: [her astral projection appears] Guys, Lex's alien power facility is at Shelley Island.
- Alex Danvers: What do you mean "the time is now"?
- Dreamer: Guys?
- Querl Dox: If my calculations are correct, Dreamer has just astral projected into this office.
- Dreamer: You anticipated me being here?
- Querl Dox: She is here. She's wondering in this exact moment how she can contact us, because an astral projectee can place themselves in any environment, but they cannot interact with that environment.
- Alex Danvers, Dreamer: So how is that a good plan?
- Dreamer: Thank you.
- Kara Danvers: Well, how was my article?
- Alex Danvers: This is historic. Okay, people are gonna be talking about this article like they did with Woodward and Bernstein.
- Kara Danvers: I don't care if they're talking about it, as long as they listen to it.
- Lex Luthor: And now, a toast... to incinerating the Man of Steel.
- [Lillian declines the offered glass]
- Lex Luthor: I promise there's no Polonium-210 in it, like you put in my tea. Killing your own son with ionizing radiation, now that is on brand.
- Lillian Luthor: Cancer may have aged you prematurely, but you're still as sharp as ever. So, what's stopping you from shooting me and your sister?
- Lex Luthor: Call me crazy, but I'm partial to my relatives. I just can't bear killing you guys.
- Lena Luthor: If you do this, it's genocide. The public will find out the truth, and when they do...
- Lex Luthor: The truth is meaningless. The people of Earth believe I am their savior. They needed a human hero, and I fulfill that need. Nothing will ever change their minds. Facts are irrelevant. All that matters is spin. People are so stupid, they don't even read. And even when they do, they certainly don't think. I am the leader of this nation now, and nothing can stop me.
- Supergirl: Where are J'onn and Dreamer?
- Querl Dox: It appears they're in the middle of a riot. But what's worse, the alien power being collected in this factory, Lex has it set up to be discharged into a Claymore satellite.
- Supergirl: Claymore? I... I destroyed that.
- Querl Dox: This appears to be a newer, bigger, better Claymore.
- James Olsen: Can you tell where it's targeting?
- Querl Dox: The target is in deep space. Argo City.
- Supergirl: He's gonna wipe out my family.
- Querl Dox: I may be able to hack into the power core to stop it.
- Supergirl: Good, do that. We'll help J'onn and Dreamer.
- J'onn J'onzz: This must be the core.
- Querl Dox: [landing behind them] J'onn, Dreamer. My plan worked.
- Dreamer: [he dodges an energy blast] That was for abandoning us.
- Querl Dox: Argo is being targeted by Lex imminently, and it is up to me to stop it.
- [interfacing with the computer]
- Querl Dox: The system is denying me access.
- Dreamer: There must be something we can do to stop the launch.
- Querl Dox: No. There is nothing we can do. The power core has reached its peak capacity. The Claymore will fire on Argo in less than two minutes.
- J'onn J'onzz: You said the core was peaking. That means it can be overloaded, right?
- Querl Dox: You would need a power supply of at least twenty pods to overload the core in the time we have left.
- [determined, J'onn removes his coat]
- Querl Dox: You're going to try to use your psychic powers to overload the core.
- J'onn J'onzz: I told you there was a way.
- Querl Dox: There is only an 18% chance that this attempt will succeed, yet a 98% chance that the effort will kill you.
- J'onn J'onzz: [straining with the effort] During the battle for my home planet, I ran, millions died. I will not mistake that same mistake again!
- Lex Luthor: [loud yell:] Ms. Teschmacher!
- [she rushes in]
- Lex Luthor: Why is the satellite not firing?
- Eve Teschmacher: There's an issue at Shelley Island.
- Lex Luthor: [bombastic yell:] No one leaves!
- [suits up, zooms off]
- Eve Teschmacher: [as Lena gets up, aims gun at her] Don't get any ideas!
- Lena Luthor: You wretched little traitor!
- [grabs gun out of Eve's hand]
- Lena Luthor: No more superpowers for you.
- Lex Luthor: Lena. What a surprise.
- Lena Luthor: What can I say, Lex? You've become predictable.
- Lex Luthor: I left the journal for you, paired it with the mural, hoping you would remember this place and show up when I needed you. You know, it just comes down to this, sis. You can only count on blood. Come on, give me a hand.
- [she draws a revolver]
- Lex Luthor: Come on, Lena, this is no time for theatrics. We both know no matter how much you despise me, you're not ruthless enough to pull that trigger...
- Lena Luthor: [shooting him] The world will never be a safe place with you in it.
- Lex Luthor: Oh, brava! You did it, Lena. You killed me. You finally proved that I've been underestimating you all this time. But when I'm gone, who will be left to be proud of you? What, your friends? The joke's on you. It's always been on you.
- [turning on a monitor]
- Lex Luthor: Your friends have been lying to you from the start. Your boyfriend Jimmy, Alex, J'onn, that little alien runt Brainy. Even your own mother. They've mocked you, humiliated you, betrayed you. Every last one. Denial's a very powerful thing, isn't it? It's been standing right in front of you all this time. And you chose not to see it. Kara Danvers is Supergirl. I'm about to die, but at least I lived without ever being a fool. You're left with no one and nothing.
- Nia Nal: I'm sorry Brainy couldn't design the Harun-El extractor without kickback, but I think we're all just happy you're okay.
- James Olsen: Well, I'm just happy justice prevailed and Lockwood and his cohorts got locked up. And the injury reminds me that I'm human, which I started to miss.
- Nia Nal: Well, I'm just happy people are talking again and, you know, listening to facts.
- Kara Danvers: Yeah. These have been some dark days. And I'll admit, there were some times where I thought we would never get out of it, but we didn't give up, and we kept chipping away until we brought the truth to light. Can you believe the Fourth Estate saved the day?
- Kelly Olsen: City's a lot nicer without the tanks and the soldiers, huh?
- Alex Danvers: If I don't see another tactical vest all year, it'll be too soon.
- Kelly Olsen: We have been through a lot of intense stuff together in a short amount of time, haven't we?
- Alex Danvers: That would be the understatement of the century. Yeah.
- Kelly Olsen: So, here's the strange part. I don't want it to end. The closeness with you, it has felt like both the most natural thing in the world and like a revelation. And I hope to God that I haven't made this awkward between us. I just... I haven't felt like this in a long time, and I just felt like I had to...
- Alex Danvers: [kissing her] Ditto.
- Querl Dox: [passing by, hand in hand with Nia] Fear not. We see nothing.
- Querl Dox: [playing Exploding Kittens] Attack card.
- Alex Danvers: [groaning in frustration] I don't understand. Sorry. How did you get so good at this so quickly?
- Querl Dox: After last we played, I went home and ran 67 billion simulations. Tried to game out the most desirable outcome.
- Kelly Olsen: So you're counting cards?
- Querl Dox: Yes. She gets it.
- Nia Nal: Don't tell people that.
- J'onn J'onzz: Hey!
- Kara Danvers: Yay!
- Kelly Olsen: Hi!
- Alex Danvers: There she is.
- J'onn J'onzz: James will be here soon, and then the whole family will be together.
- Querl Dox: Huzzah!
- Kara Danvers: Where've you been?
- Lena Luthor: [after an awkward silence, she takes out a bottle of wine] I didn't know what to bring, so I brought red and white.
- Alex Danvers: Yes!
- Kara Danvers: Nice.
- J'onn J'onzz: Well, now that you're here, we can divide up and play "Catch Phrase".
- Kara Danvers: Yeah, J'onn is making us switch up the usual teams.
- J'onn J'onzz: My house, my rules.
- Kara Danvers: But, uh, you're with me, right?
- Lena Luthor: Always.
- Alex Danvers: You're not upset that Brainy's just killing it over there with this game, right? 'Cause you know we're gonna take him down.
- Kara Danvers: Uh, we're gonna cream him...
- Alex Danvers: Yeah.
- Kara Danvers: But... no, I'm, uh... I'm worried about Lena. I have to tell her the truth. I can't keep it from her anymore.
- Alex Danvers: Lena's been through hell. And we finally got to a place where where it sort of feels a little normal again, so, I don't know, maybe you just let her enjoy the evening before we take it away.
- Kara Danvers: You're right. Not tonight.
- Woman: Vacation?
- Eve Teschmacher: Weekend trip.
- Woman: Looks like you packed plenty. But we'll always find you, Eve. No matter how many wigs you cycle through.
- Eve Teschmacher: Who are you?
- Woman: You already know that, dear.
- Eve Teschmacher: I did everything you asked. I worked for him. I hurt people for him.
- Woman: Lex was supposed to move the needle. He failed.
- Eve Teschmacher: So let me go.
- Woman: Sorry, sweetie, that's not on the agenda. Leviathan is everywhere. Leviathan is everyone. And Leviathan is coming.
