Supergirl (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 15 - Solitude - full transcript

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.

CAT: Previously on "Supergirl"...

Assistant number one, meet
assistant number two.

- I'm two?
- Siobhan Smythe.

(CHUCKLES)
I'm not here to make friends.

I'm here to be the next Cat Grant.

Lucy caught me lying.

I need to be able to tell
her that you are Supergirl.

(ASTRA GASPS)

- What happened?
- I killed her.

- Why did you lie to Kara?
- Because you're Supergirl's hero.

I don't know how to work
alongside you anymore.

Humanity is a disease,
Myriad is the cure.

(ALARM BUZZING)



(ALARM STOPS)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

(GROANS)

If I x-ray vision that
box, will I see a cruller?

You will not. They were out.

- (GROANS)
- But I got you the powdered ones.

And yet you know I'm
all about the cruller.

An offering of donuts.

Whatever could you want from me?

Ah! I just thought that you might
need the extra sugar kick before...

You know, coming back to work.

I'm not going back to the DEO, Alex.

I can't.

Kara, Hank was only doing his duty.

Okay? Protecting the planet.
Just like you do, every day.

I don't kill.

But soldiers do, when they have to.

And Hank had to.

I had the chance to bring
Astra back into the light.

And Hank cheated her and
me out of that chance.

I know I should be better than this,

but I don't think I can
forgive him for that.

I love working with you...

But maybe it's time for me
to be my own Supergirl.

Shoot, I gotta go to work.

(SIGHS)

Good morning, Siobhan.

Ker-rah.

- It's Kara.
- (CHUCKLES)

How's it going, Siobhan?

I'm sorry. I have difficulty making
conversation with men under six feet tall.

Is that for Ms. Grant?

"For her eyes only."

Ms. Grant, uh, likes for everything to
be open before it reaches her desk.

I spent the last 90
minutes in the mail room

letting a glorified postal
worker stare at my chest,

so I could be the one
to give this to Cat.

- And I'll take the credit.
- (ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

Tweedledee. Staff meeting.

Everyone in my office.
Stat with a side of ASAP!

I guess that makes you Tweedledum.

I could throw her into space.

I dream about doing that.

My massage therapist
spent the entire session

talking about how her
surrogate has celiac disease

and my Pilates instructor
just informed me

that he's quitting to open up an
artisanal yarn store in Vermont.

So, which one of you hearty souls

is going to give me a reason
to go on living? You?

The National City Men's Chorus
is organizing a Lego drive...

And I'm comatose.

Fashion. Speak.

We're seeing crushed velvet as
an important look this fall...

Oh! Try crushed dreams.

Anyone else?

Ms. Grant, this came for
you via private courier.

I've been keeping it
safe from prying eyes.

Why didn't you open it?
It could be anthrax.

(STAMMERING)

- It's not.
- CAT: Oh.

- Thumb drive.
- Oh.

And a letter.

CAT: "Make the liars pay for their lies.

"Make the cheaters feel the
pain of their betrayal."

It's like Ashley Madison, except for...

The difference is, this is
supposed to be un-hackable.

It was attacked by an
anonymous hacker last night.

None of the data they
took has been released.

Because the hacker wanted it
reported by a major media outlet.

So they sent it to me.

You. Brown hair. Put
it in the microwave.

Set it to "popcorn."

Well, actually, put
it on "baked potato."

Uh, whichever, just melt it.

Cat, that website caters
to powerful people.

Elected officials, public
figures espousing a morality

they themselves ignore.

They're hypocrites. Liars.

The public has a right
to know the truth.

CAT: Oh, Lucy.

We live in a brave new world of gay
marriage and transgendered Republicans.

Nobody bats an eye at
that stuff anymore.

Also, I've been on the other side.

And if we publish these
names, we give these

disgusting bottom-feeders legitimacy.

And therefore, Major Lane...

The terrorists will have won.

(GRUNTS)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(CHOKING) Okay!

(GASPS)

As effective as kicking and punching is,
next time you're angry about something,

let's have coffee.

I'm not angry.

I'm sad.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)
I miss having Kara here.

Her choice, Alex.

But it's not. It was mine.

When I decided to let her believe
that you killed Astra and not me.

Telling Kara will only
cause you both more pain.

And it won't stop another alien attack.

What if we fail because
Supergirl isn't at our side?

This organization functioned
long before your sister.

Long before you even.

I'm not belittling her importance,

but the DEO will go on.

As will your relationship with Kara.

What about your relationship with her?

You've lost so many in your life.

How can you stand to lose her too?

Hard experience.

(BEEPS)

(SIGHS)

- JAMES: Potstickers.
- KARA: Is that from Chow Hong's?

- Mmm-hmm.
- Ooh, that's my favorite.

I know.

Um... Hey, did you think
that Cat did the right thing

by not releasing the cheaters list?

I think people's secrets
are theirs to keep.

Even if they hurt other people?

I can't let you tell Lucy, James.

Kara, she trusts me.

Non already knows where I live.
I don't trust Hank anymore.

Everything is too complicated
and dangerous. I'm sorry.

Hey, planning a surprise
party for me or something?

(JAMES AND KARA LAUGHING)

No, we're just, uh...

We're talking about the...

The package, uh, earlier.

Ugh, don't even get me started.

There's nothing I hate more than liars.

(LAUGHS)

(STATIC ON TV)

INDIGO: (ON TV) Greetings,
Catco employees.

I'm disappointed in all of you.

Especially you, Queen of all Media.

I suppose you're the hacker that
sent the drive this morning. Hmm.

What do they call you?
The Peroxide Avenger.

I handed you the story of the year.

How sinners have turned the Internet
into a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah.

But you failed to act.

And so now, all will suffer.

Computers control everything.
Communication, banking...

Even traffic signals.

The age of chaos begins now.

Enjoy.

Toyman Jr., you're the computer expert.

Fix this.

I definitely liked it better
when she did not know who I was.

(HORN HONKING)

(BEEPING)

Every traffic light in the
city just turned green.

- (SIRENS WAILING)
- Oh, my God.

(TYRES SCREECHING)

Liberty Avenue. There's
about to be a major crash.

Supergirl, get to Liberty Avenue now.

(HORN BLARING)

(SCREAMING)

(PANTING)

Sub Upload Date: March 2, 2016

seems now to be the opening salvo
in a full-fledged cyber war,

which has sabotaged infrastructure

and left financial markets plummeting.

Dozens of banks and lending institutions,
including National City Mutual,

released a statement calling this
the worst digital data breach

- they have ever seen.
- National City Mutual.

That's where my retirement fund is.

If this hacker isn't stopped soon, we're

looking at a worldwide
economic collapse.

Relevant people! In my office.

National City's entire mainframe

has been breached by a
cyber-terrorist attack

and nobody knows why they're doing it,

or who, or when they will strike again.

I've spoken to my
contacts at the Pentagon.

Military intelligence is all over this.

This is about National City.
Our home is under attack.

And we have no idea how
this is going to end.

James Olsen.

Yes, ma'am.

First, never call me "ma'am."
This is not the Old West.

And second, circle the wagons.

We are going to put every
investigative team we have on this.

Freelancers too. We identify the hacker.

We end this.

And you, get my investment
broker on the phone.

- I...
- I'll get him right away, Ms. Grant.

So where do you wanna start?

My security clearance may be back
down to that of a mere civilian,

but I have a senior analyst at
Langley who owes me a favor.

Yeah, actually, I was just gonna head out
and run down some old contacts I had.

Anyone I know?

No.

Anyone in a cape?

Luce...

Why is it your first instinct to
work this with Supergirl and not me?

I'm sorry.

I know things have been crazy.

And we should get dinner
tonight and talk.

In the middle of a
major investigation?

We still gotta eat.

Hey, James, I'm sorry. Um,
but we need you right away.

Okay.

(DOOR CLOSES)

- Noonan's.
- Yep, Noonan's.

Mmm. Uh...

(SIGHS)

You know, he's been mumbling like
that to himself for over an hour.

Isn't that the first sign of...

Genius! Yes.

Not mumbling, okay.

I'm writing code, it just
helps to say it out loud.

All right, Winn, what is happening?

All right. Okay, look, this hacker...

She has created what's
called an oscillating

variable matrix to cover her footprints.

"Diabolical" would not be an
inappropriate word choice for her.

- But?
- WINN: But...

I have created an inversion
pathway, which will, um...

Hopefully lead me to
wherever she's hiding.

I mean, she could be, for all we know

uh, organizing these attacks from
the other side of the globe.

INDIGO: (ON LAPTOP) No.

Just the other side of your screen.

You know, you're fairly
clever, for an ape.

And you are freaking me out for
an evil blonde computer face.

Then let's talk in person.

Name the time and place.

How about now?

(WINN SCREAMS)

INDIGO: Supergirl.

What exactly makes you so super?

That symbol.

I've seen it before.

It's the sign of my people.

The font of omniscient knowledge.

I know everything about you.

What are you, some kind
of living Internet?

You might call me that.

(GRUNTS)

Which one of your friends
should I skin first?

Hold it right there!
Hold it right there!

(GRUNTING)

Oh, thank God we have our own
personal black ops unit.

Are you following me now?

I wouldn't do that.

We tracked the Wi-Fi signal from the
computers controlling traffic lights.

There was something else
embedded in the signal.

Something alien. And
it led us right here.

The rest is classified. Available
only to active DEO agents.

What do you say?

I got this far on my own.

Elevator's around the corner.

It's funny, I thought when I
got here I'd be more nervous.

And yet, you knelt down almost a minute
ago and still haven't said anything.

Maddie, will you ma...

I would kill both of you but your world
is days away from ending anyway.

(THUDDING)

I calculated the odds of you
locating me at only 26.3%.

But then logic never mattered much where
you and I were concerned, did it, Non?

Where have you been lurking?

To think...

I was once linked to the Great
Coluan cyber construct.

And now I wander the same
realm as Candy Crush.

By the way, I call myself
Indigo these days.

NON: It suits you.

Far more than Brainiac 8 ever did.

I am my own woman now.

I hear you're your own man again.

Is that your idea of condolences?

Ugh. Not at all.

I despised Astra.

I'm glad she's dead.

Why?

Did you need a hug?

My wife was an exceptional woman.

Really?

Her pathetic devotion to Myriad
didn't land her the throne.

Myriad works.

And, very soon, Astra's dream for what
Earth can become will be reality.

I was once your dream.

(GASPS)

I forgot how much you
enjoy a good choking.

You have only revealed yourself
because Astra is dead.

Why?

To prove to you that her ludicrous plan

of living alongside the
humans should die with her.

No matter the world, predators
cannot live with prey.

I know you of old.

What have you done?

Just enough.

I turned the wheel.

Hell is coming to Earth.

And when it does, only the
Kryptonians and I will survive it.

See you after the apocalypse.

Whoa, what are you doing there?

What does it look like I'm doing?

It's like you're re-enacting
a scene from Office Space.

Or just trying to murder my copier.

Can one thing in my life actually work?
Just one thing.

That's all I'm asking.

(SIGHS)

See? There's no need for violence.

(WINN EXHALES DEEPLY)

"Thank you" would be nice.

Why?

So I can pretend to be
nice like everyone else?

You know, they just
pretend that you're their

friend, or that you can count on them,

or that they won't cheat on your mom
anymore, but it's just pretend.

The... That cheating website...

That was your dad?

Apparently, he was, like,
a platinum member, too.

When I was 17,

I walked in on my father
with his personal assistant

assisting him with something no
daughter should have to see.

The next day, he told
me how sorry he was.

And how he loved my mom
more than anything.

And that he would never do it again.

He actually cried.

(SCOFFS)

- I'm sorry, if you wanna...
- No.

I need 14 copies of that.

You tell anyone about my
father and I'll kill you.

Uh, good share.

WINN: Uh-oh. I'll get Kara.

KARA: Um, Alex. (SIGHS)

I thought we had been over this.
I'm out.

I know.

I didn't come for you. I came for Winn.

- You what?
- You what?

He's got better grasp on Python 6 malware
encryption than anybody at the DEO.

If we want to permanently disable
this alien cyber threat,

he's our best shot.

I... I definitely will not go, if you
don't want me to. I don't have to.

No, no. It's fine.

Just because I stepped away from the
DEO doesn't mean you can't step in.

We're both still on the same side.

Okay...

What was that about?

Winn was just drafted by the DEO.

What?

Which means we lost our best hacker

while we're dealing with a living
extraterrestrial computer.

And now would be the time
where Hank usually tells me

what we're dealing with
and how to catch it.

(SIGHS)

If it is alien, how do
we get any info on it?

Well, there is one place we can
go to find out about aliens.

(JAMES GRUNTS)

Oh!

Anybody ever tell you that you're
a lot faster than your cousin?

- No, actually.
- Well, you are.

(PANTING) But your turns
are kind of sharp.

Hey, no one likes a
backseat flier, okay?

So, uh, how do we get in? Where is it?

Is there, like, a secret password?

(LAUGHING)

Seriously?

He just keeps the key under the doormat?

It's a million tons of
condensed dwarf star.

He said only a select
few can pick it up.

So...

JAMES: Welcome to the
Fortress of Solitude.

Oh, hey, that's the pod
that brought Kal-El...

Clark, to Earth.

Can't believe Clark
never invited you here.

He did.

A lot, actually.

But I always came up with
an excuse not to come.

I thought it would remind me of
Krypton and make me homesick.

We don't have to stay here. We
can figure out another way to...

No, no, it's fine.

How does this place work?

Actually, I was hoping
you could tell me.

(BEEPS)

Hello, Kara Zor-El. How
can I help you today?

- You know him?
- I, uh... We had these back on Krypton.

They served as robotic helpers.

Kelex, can you tell us anything

about an obnoxious blue alien
species that works with computers?

Your description matches the Coluans.

A highly intelligent race
from the planet Colu.

They served as
supercomputers on Krypton,

responsible for running
day-to-day operations.

That explains the cyber terrorism.

Were any of them prisoners on Fort Rozz?

One. Her name is Indigo,

a descendant of the Brainiac clan.

She was captured while attempting to
shut down Krypton's defense system.

What was she planning?

Her objective, terminate the
entire planet's population.

She was deemed the most dangerous
prisoner ever sentenced to Fort Rozz.

Think we should run this
by Director Henshaw?

No. No.

Kara, I know you're upset with him
for what he did. I would be too.

But that doesn't mean you
have to fight this alone.

I'm not alone.

I'm with you.

Come here.

Okay, so, an alien living computer is
trying to infiltrate the US military.

Now, it's the same intelligence system

behind the website hack, and
the attack on the city.

And how do you know this?

- From Supergirl.
- You were with Supergirl last night?

Oh, my God. I...

Completely forgot our date.

(SIGHS) Yeah.

Yeah, I did. I'm sorry.

So I'll call my father. I'll
have him alert Homeland Security

that the military could
be the next cyber target.

Lucy.

Just please try to remember that I
would never do anything to hurt you.

Then how do you keep managing to do it?

KARA: Lucy.

So, uh, Ms. Grant's doing this
whole green tea cleanse this week,

and she rejected her latte. So,
I thought you might like it.

(BOTH CHUCKLES)

Thanks, Kara. (CHUCKLES)

Are you okay?

I mean... (SIGHS)

If James is gonna stand me up for
anyone, at least it's Supergirl.

Kind of hard to compete
with that, right?

Look, I know you think James doesn't
make your relationship a priority.

But it's not true.

He's the most caring, committed,
passionate man I've ever known.

He told me about how his dad gave him his
first camera before he died in combat.

I just think he's always trying
to live up to that commitment.

He gives all of himself
to helping people.

In his own way, I think he's the
truest hero I've ever known.

He never told me that
story about the camera.

- Really?
- Yeah, he never talks about his dad.

He told you?

Yeah. Yeah, it was, like, this...

Small conversation, but
you, um, anyway...

I'm just trying to say that
James is an amazing guy.

He could be with whoever
he wants and he chose you.

Thank you, Kara.

For sharing this.

It helps a lot.

I hope so.

(SIGHS) I miss Winn and Alex.

I save the world better
when I save it with people.

Well, you are saving it with me.

(CHUCKLES)

So, I've been thinking.

Why start with a sleazy website
like Diamond Discretions?

What if it's not about
embarrassing people?

What if it was bigger?

General Jonathan Mathers.

Who's that?

He was doxed during the
Diamond Discretion hack.

But thousands of people were.

Yeah, but I think he's
the reason it happened.

Why him?

You identified Brainiac 8.
You know her code.

If you can successfully decrypt her
signal, you'll lead us right to her.

You realize that I'm learning
an alien coding language

in the same amount of
time it takes to watch

an episode of Doctor Who, right?
(SCOFFS)

That's like... That's like really fast.

(KEYBOARD CLACKING)

I wish Kara was here.

Indigo wasn't looking to
embarrass cheating spouses,

or disrupt traffic or attack banks.

She was covering for the fact that the
general was her target all along.

She was looking to declassify
his entire online footprint.

That was the only way to tell.

Tell what?

Which high-ranking
official in National City

has access to nuclear
missile launch sites.

- Oh, my God.
- She's going to nuke the city.

Fort Pemberton is the nearest
nuclear missile silo.

But it's completely off the grid.

No Internet access.

That way, no one can remotely
hack in and launch a missile.

And that is why she needed the general,
to use him to get into the base.

Like a Trojan horse.

Where is General Mathers now?

At ease.

(VAULT OPENS)

- Status report?
- Sir, we are at DEFCON 5.

All systems are nominal.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

There's reception in here?

There shouldn't be.

Mathers.

- INDIGO: Thanks for the ride.
- (SONIC SCREECHES)

(MATHERS GRUNTS)

(GUNS COCKING)

(GRUNTS)

(GROANING)

You can't kill us. You have
to turn both keys at once.

I know.

(GROANS)

I love fireworks.

(BEEPING)

Get the Pentagon. We're at DEFCON 4.

I can deploy a strike
team to Fort Pemberton.

You'll never make it in time.

(GRUNTS)

It's over, Indigo.

For the human race?

I agree.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

COMPUTER: Nuclear launch
sequence activated.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

COMPUTER: 30, 29, 28...

- (GRUNTING)
- COMPUTER: 24, 23...

(GROANING)

(GROANING)

COMPUTER: Seven, six, five...

I calculate the death toll
at 7 million. Give or take.

COMPUTER: Three, two, one.

(GRUNTS)

(SUPERGIRL PANTING)

Missile's arching toward National City.
ETA to target three minutes.

That was the White House. The president
just ordered us to DEFCON 2.

James! I'm too late.

Indigo launched an
ICBM at National City.

We need to evacuate Catco and the city.

There's no time. I'm on its tail.
I'm going to stop it.

We got a bogey.

What the hell is that?

That's my sister.

It won't change course.

I'll use my heat vision.

Don't. That can make it explode.

I've got Supergirl on the line.

SUPERGIRL: Hank.

I need your help.

We're tracking you with the ICBM.

We're gonna stop this thing, Kara.
Together.

You need to shut down its
onboard flight computer.

(GRUNTING)

You need to shut down
the silo's network.

Keep Indigo from launching
another warhead.

I think that I might have a way
of actually shutting her down.

I accidently created a pretty nasty
computer virus a few years ago.

How nasty?

Rip off the trap door to
access the flight computer.

28,000 feet and dropping.

(BEEPING)

(PANTING)

ALEX: 14,000 feet.

Input the kill code 1-1-7-4-7.

(GRUNTS)

8,000 feet.

Supergirl.

(GRUNTS)

3,000 feet.

You're out of time!

(BEEPING)

Yes!

(PANTING)

(GRUNTING)

Plenty of missiles left.

Thank God for nuclear proliferation.

(GROANING)

(PANTING)
Bet you didn't calculate that.

- How's it coming?
- Thirty more seconds.

Hold on, Kara!

Kara, do you copy?

INDIGO: Who is that you're talking to?

I knew you were too stupid
to be working alone.

(CHOKING)

INDIGO: I am beyond a body.

I am beyond time and space.

All I have to do is squeeze my
fingers, and your friend dies.

I'm invincible.

I am a God.

No. You're just a
glorified Windows Vista.

(GROANING)

(GASPING)

(GRUNTING)

(PANTING)

What have you done to me?

I just fed you a major helping
of malware. Bon appetit.

(PANTING)

You.

(PANTING) You wouldn't even
be here if it wasn't for me.

What do you mean?

How do you think Fort Rozz
escaped the Phantom Zone?

For decades, I searched the
Phantom Zone with my mind.

Looking for a way out. And then...
I found you.

I activated your pod.

I linked it to the prison.

I'm the reason you made it to Earth.

You would still be sleeping in that
timeless void, if it wasn't for me.

(SCREAMS)

Are you okay over there, Supergirl?

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm good.

Hey, hey!

Siobhan, I really think
that we should talk.

That makes one of us.

You know what, after the day I've had,

I'm a lot less frightened of you.

Okay, not that much less.

Look, um, so I... I thought
that my family was perfect too.

And then my dad went bananas
and tried to kill someone.

And then actually did
kill some other people.

And he went to jail.

My mom took off.

And, then, you know, so much for
the American nuclear family.

So you're telling me it could be worse?

Oh, also, that...

That I know how it feels

when someone like that lets you down.

But I think... I just think it's
important for you to know that

most people wanna be there for you.

You tell anybody about
this, and I'll kill you.

- You threaten to kill me a lot.
- (ELEVATOR BELL RINGS)

REPORTER: (ON TV) And in
more light-hearted news,

a bright light seen cruising through
the sky towards National City

captivated conspiracy
theorists earlier today.

But, according to NASA, it was just a
Soyuz en route to replenish the ISS.

(TURNS TV OFF)

Mmm.

That wasn't a rocket, was it?

No.

How close did we come today?

Too close.

But we're lucky to have Supergirl.

(KARA CLEARS THROAT)

Ker-rah, cancel my dinner plans.

I am going home to hug my
son and cook him chicken.

You okay?

(SIGHS) Yeah.

Yeah, my heart's still racing from
chasing after a zig-zagging missile.

I kinda felt like Harry
Potter playing Quidditch.

(BOTH LAUGHS)

(CHUCKLES)

Um...

I know I said I didn't want Lucy knowing
my secret because it's dangerous,

but that's not true.

I know she'd be a great
asset to our team.

I guess I just liked working
together, just the two of us.

Tell her.

Thank you.

Lucy.

Hey, I have... (CHUCKLES)

I have something really
important I wanna tell you.

This is over, James. You and me.

Uh, wait, wait, wait, wait.

This is... This is not
about Supergirl, right?

No.

And I finally realize that.

Kara came to see me today.

To try and, um, fix things between us

and convince me of what
a great guy you are.

Okay.

And in case I didn't already know that,

she mentioned a story that you
told her about your camera,

your father, to show me how
deeply committed you are.

It's...

It's not like that.

We've been together
for so long, James.

And I don't... I don't know a
single thing about your dad.

Because you never wanted to tell me.

You wanted to tell her

because you love her.

And for what it's worth, she, uh...

She feels the same.

Even if she can't say it yet either.

(GRUNTING)

(SUPERGIRL CLEARS THROAT)

It's good to see you.

Well, the world almost ended
'cause we weren't a team.

We need each other.

So, personal feelings aside,

I'm back.

Stronger together?

Well, the first thing we need to
do is assess if Indigo's attack

was related to Non's
secret Myriad project,

or if the two were working
at cross-purpose...

I saw Astra

- standing over J'onn.
- What?

Alex.

(SOFTLY)
He was defenseless.

She said she was gonna give him

an honorable death.

And I reacted.

Because that's what I was taught to do.

- Hank didn't kill Astra.
- (SOBBING)

(SOFTLY) I did.

I did.

And when you got there, he
saw how devastated you were.

He didn't want you to get angry with me.

He took the blame.

(VOICE BREAKING)
And I let him.

Because I was afraid of losing you,

and I can't lose you.

(ALEX SOBBING)

I merely broke your heart.

Look what Supergirl did to you.

Now, are you ready to do things my way?
