Supergirl (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 14 - Homecoming - 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...

Jeremiah helped us escape.

You saw Dad?

You're Hank Henshaw.
The real Hank Henshaw.

Hank Henshaw is dead.

I'm Cyborg Superman.

About us not being a match,

I didn't mean that.

Nothing's stopping us.

Nothing's stopping us.

Good morning.

Kara?

Kara!



Was it that bad?

Was it that good?

And it's been
quite a morning for Supergirl.

National City's own
feminist hero in a cape

has already prevented
five armed robberies,

delivered a litter of puppies,

and given one very lucky
tugboat owner some extra help

hauling a tanker.

She's done a lot more than me.

Morning.

Hi.

- I got you these.
- Oh! What a gentleman.

Thank you.

- Just hang on, one sec.
- Okay.

Hi.

So, I...

I had a really nice time.

Yeah? Me, too.

- Um, one note.
- Okay?

I would like to wake up next to you.

- Oh?
- Yeah.

Gosh, it's so nice to do that
without breaking the guy's nose.

- How many times did that happen?
- Um...

- Less than five.
- So four?

Exactly four times.

Hey, so, since you got your little
superhero-ing out of the way for the day,

can we maybe just stay here?

- Hmm?
- Oh, gosh, I really...

- I... Oh, no...
- Yes. Yes.

No, no, no, 'cause we have to be
at the DEO in like 20 minutes.

- Boo!
- I know, I know.

Speaking of which, um, can
we just keep this quiet?

What you...

- You don't want people to know?
- No, no, I do.

It's not that. It's just...

Just for now.

'Cause the last time I liked someone,

everyone in my life watched
and commented on it.

And I just really don't
want that to happen to us.

Hmm. So there's an "us"?

- Yeah.
- Yeah? I like that.

Well, okay.

We can keep it quiet.

Hey, everybody! Uh, quick thing.

Kara and I are dating.
Yes, it's awesome.

Yes, we are very happy.

And your jealousy is appropriate.

You can carry on now. Thank you. Sorry.

- Ten seconds.
- Yeah, I thought that was...

You lasted... We just walked in.
It was 10 seconds.

Very, very short. I'm sorry,
I couldn't help myself.

I mean, back on Daxam, they used to
throw parties when people got together.

You're lucky I didn't arrange a parade.

- Ha ha!
- I'm just saying.

Can we just pretend like
that never happened?

I'd like nothing more.

But unfortunately, as your supervisor,

I have to ask you to report to HR.

Wait, you're serious?

Kara, you're dating a co-worker.

That's not... Wait, we have an HR?

Walk this puppy down to the second floor

and fill out all the forms
Pam gives you in triplicate.

Oh, and you're gonna have to attend a
mandatory sexual harassment seminar.

Seriously?

It's going to be a rough
sparring session for me.

- You think?
- Okay, I'm gonna warm up.

Holy Cadmus cream egg.

Cadmus? They've been dark since
Lillian broke out of prison.

Uh, well, they are back
and with a vengeance.

We've got a convoy coming out from one of
their suspected weapon storage facilities

Tell Alex and Mon-El to
set up a back-up team.

- You going alone?
- Nope. I'm taking the other fly guy.

Teamwork makes the dream work.

I can't see inside.

Cover me!

Oh, my God.

They told me but I didn't believe it.

Alex. My Alex. Ow.

Okay.

I don't know how long we were rotting
out there in the Amazon, but...

I came to at Cadmus.

They saved me, so I could save Henshaw.

They forced me to keep him
alive, to enhance him.

Physically turn him into the
monster he was beneath.

It is strange

seeing you in Henshaw's skin.

I hope I've put it to good use.

Better than he ever did.

But what happened after that?

You were gone for such a long time.

I guess I did too good a
job enhancing Henshaw,

'cause Cadmus wanted me to stick around,

help 'em with other projects.

In the beginning, I tried
to escape again and again.

But, well, let's just say they
didn't appreciate that very much.

Oh, Dad. I...

It's okay, by...

By working with them, I
was helping to keep you

and your sister safe.

I came as soon as I heard.

Mon-El of Daxam. We meet again.

I'm glad you're okay.

I was worried after you let us
out that Cadmus was gonna...

Cadmus would imprison and
torture me for betraying them?

Yeah, well, you'd be right.

Dad, the uh,

the damage to your hand is...
It's extensive.

It's a punishment for helping
Mon-El and Kara escape.

But I would do it again, in a heartbeat.

I'm so lucky you found me.

I'm so lucky to be back with you two.

Well, it's more than luck.

What do you mean?

We got an alert that Cadmus
was moving a weapon,

and we don't get alerts unless
they're releasing a video

or we catch them red-handed.

But we did catch them red-handed.

Though... No, they were waving
their red hands around in the air

literally like they just didn't care.

- No...
- No, Mon-El is right.

You need to keep your guard up.

'Cause Cadmus does have a weapon.

What is it?

A nuclear fusion bomb.

They're going to destroy National City,

and blame it on hostile aliens.

How did Cadmus get their hands on it?

Well, they didn't steal it.
They built it.

Using the radiation they
mined from your heat vision

when you were in their custody.

Oh, my God.

When will the device be ready?

Right... Now.

The DEO and Supergirl

won't be able to stop us this time.

So, what you're telling me
is that Jeremiah Danvers,

former DEO agent and Alex
and Kara's long lost father

has returned from Cadmus
custody with news

that our enemy has developed
a nuclear fusion explosive

using Kara's other-worldly
heat vision radiation,

and that they're going to drop that on
National City and just kill us all?

Ha! Is... Is this... Is
this place bomb-proof?

You could run a trace on Kara's
heat vision radiation signature.

Right, yeah well, if the bomb is armed,

then yes, I might be able to pinpoint

its location before it goes off.

Good, get to work, Winn.

Jeremiah!

Eliza.

Oh, my God.

My God, did I miss you?

Hey, Kara, can I talk
to you for a second?

Yeah.

What's up?

Look, I know you're happy he's back.

- Are you not?
- I...

- He saved us.
- Yes. Exactly.

I was there and I... I
watched you solar flare,

and it didn't look like they were trying
to, you know, capture your heat-vision.

It looked like they just wanted
you to blow your powers out.

Mon-El. You are not a scientist.

And you don't know how
that Cadmus device worked,

but Jeremiah does.

Why is it so hard for you to trust him?

- Why is it so easy for you?
- Because he's always protected me,

at great cost.

He also lived with your enemy for years.

They... They forced him
to keep Henshaw alive.

What makes you think that they're not
forcing Jeremiah to do something now?

I know you're just trying
to look out for us.

- For me.
- Mmm-hmm.

But he needs us right now.

Please.

Okay.

- Okay. Okay.
- Thank you.

We're having a family dinner
to celebrate his return.

Yeah?

Just come over and get to know him.

Spend time with him and you will see
that there's nothing to be afraid of.

At all.

Jeremiah's return isn't
an "accidental gift".

It's just a gift.

And we should be happy about it.

The last time I saw you two set a table, it
was only after we took your phones away.

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

Yeah, we were perfect angels.

Oh, really? That's the party line?

I seem to recall a lot of grumbling.

Well, times have changed, Dad.

Yes, we have embraced being helpful.

On scales both large and small.

- Hey. I heard there was a party.
- Come on in.

Hey, um... Come in.

- Hey, sweetie.
- Um...

Dad, this is my girlfriend, Maggie.

Things have changed.

There is no man on Earth good
enough for Alex Danvers.

So it would have to be someone like you.

Oh, flattery.

And you're right. Alex
deserves the best.

Oh! And you brought... Tequila.

Okay, she's family.

You wanna show the
kids how margaritas are done?

- Let's do it.
- All right.

On a scale of one to crazy
happy, how crazy happy are you?

I can't even. You?

I mean, sometimes I can even.
But right now I cannot even.

Hi! How are you?

Was I supposed to wear a tie?

- No.
- Okay.

Dr. Danvers! And Dr. Danvers!

That's a knife.

- Don't shake your knife.
- Hello, sweet boy.

Oops!

- It's harder, one-handed.
- Here, let me.

Fourteen years with Cadmus,

this is all I ever thought about.
Right here.

Look at our girls.

Thank you, Lizzie.

I'm so sorry...

That I wasn't here.

It's going to be different now.

We can make up for lost time.

No.

It's not possible. That time, it's gone.

What do you mean?

I mean that I love you and I
have missed you every day.

But I don't know you anymore
and you don't know me.

I'm here. I'm not going anywhere.

But this is going to have
to be something new.

I think we're just going to
have to learn each other again.

Do you think we can do that?

Let's just start with dinner.

Okay?

Kids! Drinks are ready!

All right!

Here we go.

- Let me help.
- Ah, thank you.

So sorry I'm late.

Oh, don't be silly, J'onn.

Oh, hey! I forgot to
do something earlier.

Oh!

Thank you.

Thank you for saving my life again.

Thank you for keeping your
promise to watch over my girls.

It was an honor.

A toast.

To coming home.

Coming home.

Now, obviously, this is going
to be a time of adjustment.

But I hope you'll all
be patient with me.

I've seen and done things
that I wish I hadn't.

Dad, don't.

No, sweetie. If I'm going to move
forward, I can't ignore my past.

Cadmus... Changed me,
they tried to break me.

But in the process,
they made me dangerous.

I know their weaknesses,

and I'm here...

To work with all of you
to make our planet safer.

So, if you'll have me, Director,

I'd like to return to the DEO.

Formally.

J'onn? Can he?

Pending a full psych evaluation
and a field readiness exam...

We'll give you the tour tomorrow.

- Thank you, friend.
- All right.

I'm in the DEO for two months
before I can pee alone,

and he just walks right back in?

Say something nice to him. Now.

I just wish you were
coming back at a time of peace, sir.

We all do.

What a lucky thing that you
have returned when you did.

You mean when he was
rescued, right, Mon-El?

Um...

I mean, that it is very fortunate

that Dr. Danvers has returned

just as a fusion bomb
has become a threat.

A fusion bomb that only he's mentioned

and no one else has seen.

I mean, what a gift.

What did you just say to my father?

And now he's just gonna
go right back to the DEO.

With full access, I'm
guessing, right, J'onn?

No background checks for
your old soldier buddy.

You need to back up.

Why don't you just
let him right back in?

What?

Why are you pushing me?

So, we're just gonna give him free rein?

Why is... Why is no
one questioning this?

Is that not crazy?

If your father walked
through that door right now,

after all these years that you thought
he was dead, what would you do?

I would run.

- Run?
- Because he was not a good man.

So...

You know what? I'm sorry about that.

But this is not about
you and your suspicion,

and your disrespect are out of line.

And you need to leave my home.

- Kara...
- No.

- That's the...
- No, no!

You've ignored what I need
from moment one today.

I asked for privacy and time
and you ignored that.

And I asked you to give Jeremiah
the benefit of the doubt

and you ignored that too. So I don't...

Okay, okay, hey!

I'm sorry. That is two strikes on me,

okay, but let's just...
Let's let it go...

I am not baseball.

And unless you learn
that what I say counts,

this isn't going to work.

- Why don't I show you out?
- I think that's a really good idea.

Okay, I was heading out, anyway.

Sir, as a scientist, you have
to believe in questioning.

That's all I was trying to do in there.

- I'm sorry if I hurt you...
- I know who you are.

And?

That's it.

I know who you are.

And I doubt Kara would like the truth.

Hey.

- For you.
- Ooh!

Perfect timing. Thanks for coming.

Always happy to grab a drink,

but you do realize we're like kind of in

all-hands-on-deck situation right now?

You know, trying to
track down that fusion

b-o-m-b.

Very discreet.

Yeah. And speaking of...

What's so top secret that you
can't talk to me at the DEO?

Um...

It's Jeremiah's return.

What if... What if Cadmus allowed us

to "rescue" Jeremiah so
he could sabotage us?

Just when this, this doomsday
bomb is about to be detonated.

- I mean, think about it.
- Okay. You know what...

I knew I shouldn't have given
you my Netflix password.

Because watching that much 24 at once

is not healthy, I told you.

I... I... I'm not being
paranoid here, Winn. I'm not.

When... When is the last
time we were this lucky?

Lucky enough that Cadmus was moving
their most valuable prisoner,

a guy that the DEO has
been unable to find

for over 15 years?

And he just... He just lands in our lap?

So, you think Jeremiah is...

It's just... He is
somebody that we need to

keep our guard up around.

At least until we know exactly
what he's been doing

for the past 15 years.

Yeah. Okay. I'll help you.

Are you... Really?

- Hey, thank you.
- Yeah, yeah.

You're a good friend.

I know.

You... You realize now that you...

That you owe me a favor in return.

Anything.

Just be good to her.

I will.

Hey. I didn't think we were
meeting until a little later.

Hey you. Yeah, I'm just

catching up my friend, Mon-El.

- Mmm-hmm?
- Hmm.

Pleasure to meet you.

And you.

I'll see you tonight.

- Okay.
- Mmm-hmm.

Oh.

What?

You be good to her.

You really
turned this place around.

I can't take the credit.

For years I was afraid of real change,

of revealing my true identity
through pro-alien action.

Your daughters helped me with that.

They demanded we all be better.

I owe them a great deal.

Don't sell yourself short, J'onn.

It's easy for the young
to demand change.

And you were open to it.

You did your part.

A lot of lives are going to
be better because of you.

What did I say?

You were the first human
to treat me as an equal.

Knowing who I really was.

I didn't think that I'd ever
see you again, my friend.

Don't tell the girls, but
I'm happy to see you, too.

And, I am here. So, put me to work.

With pleasure.

Agent Danvers,

report to the Med Bay. Familiarize
yourself with the equipment there.

I gotta go check on the
hunt for the fusion bomb.

See you there, afterwards.

Winn, you wanted to see me?

Yes. Give me... Just...

If this is what I think it is...

No. Nope. Turn around.

180. Back to there.

Listen, Winn found something and
we think you should know about it.

Okay.

Okay. So, earlier today,

J'onn's giving Jeremiah
a tour of the facility.

Right. So, when J'onn stepped away,

I... I saw

Jeremiah trying to break
into the DEO mainframe...

Wait, wait. Stop for a second.

Were you spying on Jeremiah?

- Kara...
- Did you put him up to this?

You are not listening!

- Winn found something.
- A "big" something.

- What?
- He actually broke in to the DEO system.

Too loud.

I'm sorry. But
it sure as hell looks like

Jeremiah is spying on us.

Still no ping on the fusion bomb?

Uh, no. Nothing.

Is it possible they could have developed
some sort of cloaking device?

No, no. They would have needed
me to build it for them.

Keep scanning. It'll
come online eventually.

Hey, Jeremiah...

Can we talk for a minute?

Sure. What's up?

Is everything okay?

Um...

Earlier today, you accessed
some highly classified files

from the DEO mainframe.

That's true. I did.

Why?

I tried to use my old passkey
to look at some case files.

But the access codes have changed,

so I did a workaround

to get inside.

What were you looking at?

Case files from the last

24 months.

I wanted to see what my
daughters had been up to.

The crises you faced.
The people you saved.

The adventures you've been on.

I've been away so long...

Case histories are just a way

for me to feel like I was there.

A little.

I'm sorry.

Winn?

Uh...

Your... Yeah...

Yeah... He's...

He's telling the truth. I mean, looks
like it's just a bunch of old case files.

Oh, Dad.

Um...

You both are unbelievable.

But you, you're something else.

Can we talk?

I don't have anything to say to you.

Alex...

Alex...

I am just as hurt and scared as you are.

I share the same feelings.

But I also...

See clearly now.

Jeremiah was with Cadmus a long time.

We've never faced an
enemy more dangerous.

We owe it to ourselves

to look at every angle,

even if it makes us uncomfortable.

- You sound just like him.
- Like who?

Mon-El.

Look, I realize that you're
in your honeymoon phase,

but really, Kara,

I mean, you don't have to take
every stance that he takes.

I'm not and this isn't about Mon-El,

this is about the truth.

And the truth is that Jeremiah breaking
into the DEO computer system is...

It's weird.

He missed out on over a
decade as our father.

I don't blame him for
wanting to catch up,

- however he can.
- Then why not just ask us?

We're right here.

He spent an hour with J'onn today...

Why wait until he's alone
to access the system?

Kara, you really don't
trust him, do you?

No, I don't trust Cadmus.

And I'll do what I have to,
to protect us.

Well, I guess, you've chosen your side.

This is not about sides.

No. It is.

Because either you're a part
of this family or you're not.

- You don't mean that.
- He's my father.

- He's mine, too.
- Then act like it!

There you go.

Breathe.

It's all in the wrist.

Hey! It is on the board!

That is a solid on the board shot!

Baby steps, handsome.

There, you wanna go again, or should
we let the evening take us elsewhere?

Is there anything
you're not good at?

I would love to return the favor.

Come on.

- Ooh, hey.
- Hi, Winn's friend.

That was impressive.

Thank you.

The last time I tried to play darts I...

stabbed fish-head dude.

I mean, he was nice about it, but...

Yeah. Kevin's awesome.

No, I was, uh, talking about your little

partner display just then.

Yeah. You're a terrible partner.

- Terrible.
- Yeah.

I can not be terrible, for the...
The record.

Look, dude, just don't try so hard.

Kara's a badass.

- Mmm-hmm.
- She's doesn't need a protector, or...

Or someone to show her off.

The girl does that all by herself.

So, what's left for me?

Maybe, ask her.

Just listen to her.

She's the one you're dating.

Yo, hold up.

Okay.

What?

Remember that time I was
good at literally everything?

No.

Well, it paid off!

We tracked Supergirl's
radiation signature.

Cadmus is moving the fusion bomb.

All right.
I'm in position.

Dad, you there?

Right here, Alex.

Standing by for your
instructions once we get inside.

Be careful.

Anything happens to that
bomb before you disarm it,

the whole city could go.

Nothing's gonna happen.

Let's stop them once and for all, girls.

Ready when you are, J'onn.

On my mark.

Three.

Two.

One. Engage!

Clear!

Clear!

What the hell?

Something's not right.

J'onn, please advise.
There's no sign of target.

I repeat, there's no sign
of target. There's nothing here.

What's going on?

Why can't I read your mind?

J'onn?

Dad?

- What are you?
- I'm sorry, friend.

I've changed.

J'onn!

Put him down!

Don't move!

We have to get back. Now!

Let's move!

What have you done?

J'onn, please, stay down, I don't want
to hurt you any more than I have.

I asked you a question.

What have you done?

What I had to.

Mon-El was right.

You are a Cadmus man.

J'onn, please, it's not the whole story.

I will not let you leave.

You don't have a choice.

Is he okay?

Yeah, yeah, he will be.

Look, Jeremiah got the jump on him.

He couldn't have.

Hey, look, even if my dad has turned

there is no way he could
have overpowered J'onn.

Yeah. That's what I would have thought.

Oh, thank God you're okay.

Jeremiah's arm,

the one we thought had nerve damage,

it's been enhanced.

Cybernetically.

Like Hank Henshaw?

Jeremiah isn't who he was.

I'm sorry.

Not as sorry as Cadmus is gonna be.

We'll find him.

How?

Oh, okay. Um...

Okay. Don't be mad.

But, I may have

hid a tracker on Jeremiah.

You're late, Danvers.

Jeremiah, it's been too long.

There was a little more resistance
from the DEO than I anticipated.

Nothing I couldn't handle.

Did you get the files?

It's over.

Not yet. But it will be, soon.

Dad, you're coming with us.

That's unlikely, dear.

Ka-boom.

No!

Train. Go.

Alex!

Dad!

Freeze!

Look at me!

Look at me!

How could you?

How could you?

Would you believe me
if I said I did it for you?

You betrayed everyone

at the DEO.

Your friends.

Our family,

everyone

that I love.

You did that for me?

Family's complicated, honey.

I'm bringing you in.

Not alive, you're not.

If you want to bring me in...

You're gonna have to shoot me.

If you do it...

I'll understand.

You are always the best part of me.

No, the green wire attaches
to the other green wire.

No, the other green...

I... I'm gonna head over to you. Okay.

Hey, hey, hey. Any luck?

We lost.

I'm sorry, guys.

Yeah.

On your feet already?

No time to waste.

Any idea what he stole from us?

- What he gave to Cadmus?
- Not yet.

Now, I have to go check down
on the mainframe and then

once we get the systems back
online, I can run a diagnostic...

Quick as you can. I want to
know what we're up against.

Yes, sir.

How are you both?

It's been hard.

Alex?

Excuse me.

I heard what your father did.

What're you thinking?

I'm...

Just worried.

I'm worried about what
this means for Alex,

for me, for...

Jeremiah and Eliza,

for our fight against Cadmus.

I'm just worried it's going
to change everything.

It will.

It will make us stronger.

Yeah.

Hey.

What's wrong?

How was your dad's first day?

That good, huh?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay, hold on.

Hey.

I'm here.

Okay. You can tell me anything.

Hey, look at me.

What happened with your dad?

Oh.

It's okay.

It's unlocked.

Hey.

You okay?

No.

No?

Yeah.

Hey, today was a...

A little...

I just want to...

I'm not... I'm not gonna talk.

Hmm.

Why don't you... Why don't
you tell me what you need?

I'll listen.

Just be here with me.

Okay.

Hey, come here.

Come here.

Just... Just sit here?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

Yeah, just like this.

Do you need anything else? Or...

To wake up with me.

Hey.

I'd love to.

Winn.

You don't need to...

Winn, did you figure out what Jeremiah
stole from the DEO computers?

It's not good, Kara.

He took the national alien registry.

Okay, I'm coming in.

Hey, what? What is it?

Cadmus has the list of all
the aliens in the country.

Well, what do we do?

We get up.

Yeah, we do.

Excellent work, Jeremiah.

I know it wasn't easy.

We have a deal, don't we?

Yes, we do.

And our work may soon be over.

Soon the Earth will be free.

Forever.
