Supergirl (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 11 - The Martian Chronicles - full transcript

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.

I hid who I really was
until one day,

when an accident forced me
to reveal myself to the world.

To most people, I'm a reporter
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.

Previously on Supergirl...

I care about you.

- Well...
- I get that you don't care about me.

- I do care about you.
- But not in the same way.

That's fine. That's... It's okay.

My people, they know where I am.

They're coming.

- Club soda on the rocks.
- Thank you.

Uh, hey, Mon-El?

Yeah.

So, I know things have
been a little weird

since that conversation
we had the other night.

Right.



You know, I've been talking
to some of the regulars

and apparently Earth males
are only supposed to express

their feelings about sports and,
occasionally, monster trucks. So...

No, it was great that you were honest.

That's actually a trait
women like in men.

But here's the thing, um,

you were right.

I'm not so sure we're a good match.

Yeah. Yeah, no. I'm just glad
we're on the same page, you know.

I mean, I have my career in journalism
that I just started out on.

In the meantime,
when I'm not being Supergirl,

I really need to focus on that.

And even if I did have time
to date someone,

I wouldn't date someone like...

Someone who... Who...

- Who is...
- An intergalactic bartender?

- Yes!
- Yes.

No. It's...

Because it's not your job.

It's... It's the way you are.

I'm going to go over there now.

Okay.

Oh, that looked serious.

He told me he liked me the other day.

I'm so shocked.

- Was it that obvious?
- Duh!

Well, I don't like him,
and I had to tell him

and I just shoved both
feet into my mouth.

I'm sure it wasn't that bad.

It was, though. It really, really was.

But on to more important things.

- Earth birthday!
- Yes!

13 years since I crashed here on Earth.

So, I know we always just do cupcakes,

but I was thinking we should go
all out for lucky number 13.

I've always wanted to try
country line dancing,

so I made us this reservation at a club.

If we get there before 7:00,

they teach us all these
tutorials and the dances!

Oh, I should call them and make
sure that we can rent cowboy boots.

Uh, well, about Earth birthday...

I know we celebrate every year,
but the thing is,

that, um, Maggie surprised me

with concert tickets
to the Barenaked Ladies tonight.

- Oh...
- And, um,

she knows that I've loved
them since college.

It would be our first
concert together and so,

you know, I was... Maybe if there's...

Do you think we can
celebrate another night?

Oh, my God!

You are not going to believe this.

One of the guys at my precinct is
working security at the venue tonight

and he was able to upgrade
our tickets to VIP!

- Boom!
- Oh, my God! That's amazing.

That's great.

That's great.

Is everything okay?

Sounds like you guys are gonna
have a lot of fun tonight.

- Are you sure?
- Go! Go! Have fun.

Okay.

Okay. Bye. Go.

Kara, you all right?

Can I get you anything to drink?

Just get me something strong.

Actually, you know what,
I'll have what he's having.

Oh, he's been drinking exclusively
club soda for the last week.

Really?

Oh.

I'll just stick with my club soda then.
Thank you.

I know you're there.

I saw you yesterday, too.

The old lady at the bus stop.

And you were that little boy
in the park this morning.

Yeah.

Why are you following me?

Do you regret letting
me out of that cell?

- Of course not.
- But you still don't trust me!

I do trust you.

It's just what you said,
your people know where you are,

the White Martians are coming.

As an agent of the DEO,
I have a duty to protect this Earth.

If any of those monsters show up,
I have to be ready.

Well, like I said, they're coming.

They're not here yet.
So, you can stop...

M'orzz!

Mind if I cut in?

I didn't know if we'd see you tonight.

Why wouldn't you be?

Thought you might be off
Guardian-ing or whatever.

You understand I'm just
worried about you.

You don't have to worry about me.

You got beaten up a few weeks ago.
You could have been killed.

Hmm. Hmm.

I know James thinks he has a calling,

but you have to see
how crazy this is, right?

Have you ever thought that
maybe I have a calling, too?

What have you found, Agent Schott?

Nothing yet.
This guy is hard to track.

But we're monitoring
every probable target

so when he does attack...

we'll be ready.

In that case, I'll
prep our strike teams.

J'onn, you should stay here at the DEO.
For protection.

It's not here for J'onn.

It's here for me.

Hunting me.

The White Martians want me
to pay for my war crimes.

They're telling me.

- Psychically.
- Then you have to remain here.

If you go outside, you're vulnerable.

I can't put you all in danger.

That's what we do.

We protect people.

I don't need protection.

M'gann. You're making a big mistake.

Risking yourself helps no one.

This is my fight, J'onn.

You're cut off after this one.

Armek.

Don't call me that.

Would you prefer it in
the human tongue, wife?

I am no longer bonded to you.

The nest has been cold these
300 years without you.

It was always cold.

You've been impersonating a Green.

How do you live with yourself?

I thought you were dead,
and I suppose it gave me some comfort.

Your parting gift.

No, you didn't kill me,
but you came closer than anyone ever will.

I've come to bring you
back to Mars, k'onahr.

Your treachery is legend.

The Council wants to see you dead
more than J'onn J'onzz.

And I will satisfy
H'ronmeer, God of Death,

by watering the desiccated
plains of T'ozz with your blood.

I will never go back.

Oh, but you should see it.

With the eradication of the vermin,

Mars is a paradise.

The way it was intended to be.

The Greens have been silenced.

The ones who thought they
were better than us.

We are now one pure hive.

So, who are you going to kill next?

What other species
deserves to be obliterated

because you decide
you're better than them?

Whichever one we choose.

I'm not afraid of you.

Maybe not.

But I don't need to
bond with you to know

that J'onn J'onzz and the
Kryptonian are your friends.

This has nothing
to do with them.

If you ever cared for me,
you'll leave them alone.

I'm going to make this very simple.

You have two hours to
turn yourself over to me.

If you do, I may let them live.

If you don't...

Let's just say, I'm glad you made
friends here on Earth, M'gann.

It will be such a pleasure
to watch them burn.

Where are you going?

I'm leaving.

They'll just find you again.

I've put you all in danger.

I need to get out of here.
For everyone's sake.

M'gann, I spent many lifetimes running,

convinced I was on this Earth alone,

no one to call family,
no one to call a friend.

I refused to open my eyes to
what was right in front of me.

People who were willing
to take a chance.

It's taken me hundreds of years
to learn to trust again after...

After what my people did.

You are not your people.

Okay? You are kind and you are generous

and willing to put
yourself before others.

You are different. I know that now.

Then you know that
I can't just stay here

and let these monsters
hurt you and your friends.

They're not just my friends,
they're your friends, too.

And they want to protect you.

Please. Don't run away.

Trust us.

Man, the last time I saw them,
I think I was in college.

- What about you?
- What?

Oh, I don't remember.

You know, for a super-fan,
you are not that excited.

No, I am. I promise.

Really? Because I've seen your face

when you defeat a blood-thirsty alien.

I know what excited Alex Danvers
looks like, and this isn't quite it.

No. This is... It's perfect, all of it.

I just... Kara...

I think I hurt her feelings.

That's... So... I'm sorry.

I don't need you to be sorry,
I just wanted you to have fun.

And right now,
something's eating at you.

No. No.

I'm just distracted. So, now...

I'll forget about it
for the rest of the evening. I promise.

You know, the days of you pushing down
your feelings are officially over.

So go. Go talk to your sister.

- Really?
- Yeah. I'll meet you there.

You're the best.

Hey.

Shouldn't you be at your concert?

Ah, well, I wanted to check in.

I was just going to get an update,

but I don't think we've
found anything yet.

No. I mean I wanted
to check in about us.

I'm... I'm sorry I bailed
on your Earth birthday.

You made all those plans.

I made them this morning,
it's not a big deal.

This morning?

- So last-minute of you.
- I know.

I know I got a little over-excited.

But it... It's okay.

We can celebrate another night.

So, you're not mad at me?

No, no, no, I am not mad.

Because it really felt
like you were mad at me.

And then I felt guilty
for trying to have fun.

Alex, I was being immature.

I want you to have fun with
your girlfriend, it's...

It's not a big deal, it's fine.

- You promise?
- Absolutely.

You find out anything else?

All is clear on the Martian front.

We were about to game plan
some new tracking techniques.

M'gann. You're here.

I want to help in any way that I can.

I hate them even more than you do.

It's very brave of you to come.

We'll do everything we can
to keep you safe.

Agent Schott, let's brief M'gann
on what we know so far.

- Yep, come on.
- Come on.

Guys...

J'onn, I thought about what you said...

Oh, my God.

Wait. If she's here and she...

- Oh, no.
- No. No.

You Greens never learn, do you?

Auxiliary power activated.

He's gone!

Lock-down mode initiated.

Why are you putting us in lock-down?

The only way to catch that thing
is to trap it in here.

- With us?
- We don't even know where it went.

Or where it didn't go.
It could still be here.

It could be any of us.

This is everyone who was inside
when the doors shut.

If one of us is a White Martian,

how do we tell who's really themselves?

Oh, that's easy,
we just have to ask personal questions.

Right, like, things we only
would know the answer to.

Like what's the scented
candle that I hate?

- Teak wood and tobacco.
- No. They can read minds, too.

They know all your preferences,
everything that makes you who you are.

- What are you looking at?
- What?

- All right. Hey!
- Whoa, whoa!

- Holster your sidearms!
- Yes, do that, please.

- I wasn't looking at you.
- Yes, she was.

She's the White Martian.

Now you really better put that away.

But it could be her.
It could be any of you.

Stop pointing your weapon.

- Then back off!
- Come on!

We're not going to lose it here.

J'onn, you can read minds.

Can you scan us to see who's who?

No, I can't.

There's some kind of
psychic interference.

Well, that's convenient.

He's after me. I should turn myself over.
Maybe he'll let you go.

Great idea. Mission accomplished.

- Absolutely not.
- That is not how we do things.

It's all my fault.

I'm the one who sealed us in here.

No, you don't understand.

This isn't just any White Martian.

Armek was my mate.

Mate, like your husband?

It's not the same for White Martians.

It was an arrangement,
not a choice, but yes.

We were bonded.

And you all have a right to know

that he is the worst of my kind.

Oh, well, that makes me
feel so much better.

- It doesn't matter who he is.
- J'onn's right.

We're going to find him and
we're going to beat him.

First things first. I'm going to
collect everybody's sidearms.

- Are you crazy?
- Will somebody take his gun?

All right! That's enough!

There is one way to determine
who is the White Martian and who isn't.

How?

There was a time
when we were in hiding on Mars.

Trying to build a resistance
to the White Martians.

We worked out of a network of caves,

but they would infiltrate us,

send in spies to wreak havoc.

Anyone who came through
the mouth of the cave

had to put their hand to the fire.

What did the fire do?

This.

Okay, that's not creepy at all.

Do Vasquez first.

She was so quick to deny
that she's a Martian.

Because I'm not, you moron.

Now him.

J'onn...

You okay?

J'onn...

He's not doing it.

- Winn?
- Hmm?

You're up.

Oh, wait, seriously? It's me.

Everyone has to do it.

Okay. Geez.

You got me.

I'm so glad you didn't
turn yourself in, my love.

I would have missed all the fun.

I can't believe it was Winn
and I didn't know.

None of us knew.

No, thanks. I'm armed.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

The motion sensor is offline.

Thank God the containment cells
are still locked.

As Winn, he had access
to the whole system.

Now what?

- It's the reactor.
- What reactor?

The one that powers the building.

- It's going into overload.
- What does that mean?

It means he sabotaged it.

This whole building is going to explode.

And it's going to take
ten city blocks with it.

Why would he wanna blow the building up?

He's inside, too, he'll die.

It doesn't matter to Armek.

He'd proudly give his life
to complete his mission.

- Can we shut it down manually?
- No.

The White Martian who took Winn's form

also took his intelligence
and re-encoded everything.

We're locked out of the entire system.

So, we need the real Winn to unlock it.

How do we know that Winn's
even in the building?

In order for Armek to shape-shift
into Winn so exactly,

he'd have to be close by,
to keep the telepathic link.

He's in the DEO.

Can't Supergirl X-ray vision
the building to find him?

No. Someone lined the walls
of the building with lead.

We need to search the building.

How long until the reactor explodes?

According to our calculations,
about 15 minutes.

Vasquez, Demos,

you take two teams up
through the north wing.

Supergirl, Alex, you hit the basement.

Let's go.

Psst!

What?

Look around the corner.

Oh. Oh.

All clear.

We're not so good at communicating
these days, are we?

I was mad before.

About Earth birthday.

I knew it.

I owe you an apology.

I shouldn't have bailed on you.

It hurt my feelings.

I know.

It wasn't fair.

Look, I don't want to feel bad
for wanting to spend time with Maggie.

You shouldn't. It's a good thing.

It's just...

Ever since I've been on Earth,
I don't know what life is like,

without you there all the time.

And I felt that changing
and it's just...

Scary.

When my parents put me
on that pod in Krypton, I...

I don't think I realized
what was actually happening.

I didn't know that I was saying
goodbye to them forever.

I've been abandoned before,
and I didn't wanna be abandoned again.

I will never abandon you.

- What was that?
- Let's find out.

We're not going to be
able to find him in time.

I should have handled this on my own.

I'd never let you do that.

I know you think it's your duty, but...

It's not just my duty, M'gann.

It's more than that.

You've become dear to me
in a way no one has been since...

I just had this...

huge hole in my heart for so long now.
I never thought...

Dreamed that anybody
would be able to fill it.

When I realized you
were a White Martian,

I never thought that
that person would be...

You.

But I was wrong.

Your spirit is so beautiful and brave.

Now that I'm able to see that,

I can't imagine my life without you.

I'm brave because you
showed me how to be.

I'll protect you, M'gann.

Forever.

J'onn...

Be careful.

Winn!

What's that?

Oh, my God.

- Supergirl!
- What's up, J'onn?

We were wrong! There are
two White Martians in the building.

- What?
- It's Alex!

The other White Martian
has shape-shifted into Alex!

Alex?

You guys are so dumb...

What's wrong, Supergirl?
Too afraid to put up a fight?

Never.

Core breach in five minutes.

- Nice shot, sis.
- You're not my sister.

Maybe heat vision isn't a good idea

in a room with an
unstable nuclear reactor.

Then I guess we're gonna have to do this
the old-fashioned way.

- Winn!
- Ow! Why?

Was I... Was I on the ceiling?

Martian. The White Martians are here!

Yes. Yes, and the building
is going to explode.

We've got to get out of here!

- No. No. No.
- No? Why no?

The White Martians infiltrated
the reactor in the basement.

And I need you to shut it down
before the whole thing overloads.

No. Damn it.

No. I can't shut it down remotely.

I have to go to the reactor room.

Then let's get to the reactor room.

Hey, you two go.
She's still a little out of it.

I'm gonna make sure she's okay.

Hey.

It's okay, I can walk.

How are you doing?

Ugh!

To tell you the truth,
I'm glad they found your sister.

It is so exhausting pretending

to care about
your silly little feelings.

If you hurt her...

You'll what?

Whine at me?

Almost there.

How long till you disable the reactor?

Core breach in four minutes.

- About four minutes?
- Good answer.

As long as I can focus,
it should be easy.

Oh, God!

Monsters are real.

J'onn, J'onn!

Go, go!

I haven't killed a Green in centuries.

This is going to be a joy.

You never should have come here.

Okay. Okay, whoever encoded
this was a genius.

- Core breach in three minutes.
- We have to re-route it.

This did not used to happen at CatCo.

This is for every Green you ever killed.

In that skin, you look like a monster.

We're the monsters, Armek.
This skin is beautiful.

Core breach in two minutes.

Just don't look behind you.

That should do it.

Core stabilized.

Oh, that was a close one.

Close?

We had, like, you know,
12 seconds to spare.

You okay?

Well...

Yeah. Thank you.

Have I mentioned how
much I love my new gun?

Lock-down terminated.

I can't believe it's still nighttime.

Feels like it's been one week.

One Week. Barenaked Ladies.

I've got to call Maggie.

Hey, you did a great job with
that decoding down there.

Well, thank you.

You did a great job
with the de-Martianing.

Uh, I'm going to go see James.

See if he needs my help tonight.

Unless you object?

No. Just...

Be safe.

Always.

Thank you for saving me.

I should be thanking you.

I've been on my own for so long and...

Though I had a mother,

she wasn't warm, that's not our way,

but she cared for me.

I know she did.

And I'd forgotten
that feeling until now...

What it feels like to have a family.

Which is what makes this so hard.

I'm going back to Mars.

Why?

There must be other voices like mine.

White Martians who have the desire
and the capacity to change,

who don't want to be defined
by the hatred of our kind,

but just need a push
to do the right thing.

They could kill you as soon as you land.

Maybe, but if I don't try,

they're never going to stop hunting me.
You know that's true.

You've shown me what it
is to stand up and fight.

And that's exactly what I'm going to do.

Please tell me you understand.

Oh, darling. I'm so happy for you.

Honey, isn't this terrific?

Happy Earth birthday.

Look, there's a "K".

Well...

Go ahead. Blow it out.

Gently!

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Was Maggie mad that you
missed the concert?

Well, luckily,
I have a girlfriend that understands

when deadly aliens besiege my place
of work, that takes precedence.

Yeah, I'm glad everyone is okay.

That last White Martian... Oof!

First of all, boy,
did it do a good impression of you,

and second, you got there just in time.

Uh, speaking of that
White Martian, um...

When it was me,

did you have a conversation?

Because I have these memories.
They're like a...

Almost like a dream, that we talked.

But I'm not really
sure if that was real.

Do you remember?

Yeah. So I'm not crazy?

Nope.

I guess if the White Martian's
bond is strong enough,

the telepathy goes both ways.

Yeah. I guess so.

Kara.

I'm not ever going anywhere.

I promise.

Just because I'm with Maggie,

it doesn't mean I'm not with you...

- Always.
- I know. I...

I guess I made all those big plans

because I wanted the day
to be extra special.

I felt you slipping away.

I'm not. Ever.

But is that the only reason
you made such big plans?

What do you mean?

Look, sometimes, you know, in our life,

when one part is really confusing,

we will pour way more attention
than necessary into another.

And, you know, you looked a bit

overwhelmed when you talked to Mon-El.

So, maybe the reason that
you made such big plans with me

was so that you didn't
have to think about

how you actually feel about him.

I told him how I feel.

Mmm-hmm. And you really believe that?

He's complicated.

Mmm-hmm.

But it's not just about him,
it is about me.

Every time I put myself
out there, it backfires.

I don't want it to happen again,
it's too risky.

You know, I happened to
have taken a rather big

romantic risk recently.

And I gotta say...

It pays off.

Maybe he's worth a shot.

Armek's ship is in low-Earth orbit.

I can transmat up to it from here.

Will you tell them at the bar?

I will let them know
that you're going away.

J'onn, about what you said before...

I shouldn't have said anything.

It was totally inappropriate.

I feel it, too.

I have for a while. I just didn't...

Know what it was.

I've just had one of
the hardest nights of my life,

and I'm heading into something
I probably won't survive,

but standing here with you,

I feel like everything's
going to be okay.

You have changed me forever.

Goodbye, J'onn.

Goodbye, Miss Martian.

I couldn't even believe it.

There's a thing called a Dunkaroo.
Have you ever heard of this?

- No.
- It's...

Kara!

Mike...

- Eve! Hi.
- Hi.

It's so funny, Mike, that you're here.

I was going to call you later
to talk about something, but...

Um... Are you two headed somewhere?

Lunch.

- Together?
- Yep.

That's great. That's really great.

Oh. Shoot!

You know,
I left my cell phone at my desk.

- I'll be right back.
- Sure.

Hey, I heard what happened at the DEO.
Is everything okay?

Oh, well, I've...

I've never seen anything like it,
but everyone's fine.

Good.

Good. Good. All right.

So, is that together, like on a date?

Yeah. I mean, you rejected me.

So it's time to move on, right?

Right.

That was a pretty quick turnaround.

Uh, yes. Yes,
I guess that is true, um...

Gotta swipe right
till you find the one. Right?

- Isn't that what the kids say?
- As you should.

Hey, you, uh... You said you
wanted to talk about something?

Or was it...

- Um...
- Ready!

It's... No, it's fine.

You guys have a... a good date.
