Supergirl (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 2 - The Last Children of Krypton - full transcript

I hope to God she shows up.

Even better.

Do you want to do the honors?

Eh. I got to look cool last time.

I'll handle the cloud.

You give 'em what they need.

Does this ever get old?

If it does, I will let you know.

That's our cue.

What's the hurry?

Oh, uh... I'm with her.



Uh, I think I may have
scratched your bumper here.

See, now... If the bullets
don't work, right,

why the punching?

I just never understood that.

I'm having a really good day.

Me, too.

there's a renegade Kigori
in Riverside Park.

"We're on it."

Grumpy.

Eyes on the keys.

Sir, yes, sir.

You promised Kara that you'd be nicer

when her cousin was around.

I said I would try.



"Do or do not.

"There is no try."

Exactly how bad did you
want this job, Mr. Schott?

He'll be leaving town soon, I'm sure.

So until then...

I'll be in the armory
shooting at something.

That sounds relaxing.

Time to wake up, Mr. Corben.

Feel strange.

I can only imagine.

I'm calling security.

We don't need the men with
guns down here. Do we, John?

How did I do that?

Let me give you a little context.

The Kryptonians tried to kill you.

We salvaged you, modified
you and resurrected you.

And who are you?

Merely a doctor.

I am a member of an
organization called Cadmus.

And you...

You are what we've been
waiting for, Mr. Corben.

I don't believe he's ready.

Is that true, John?

Are you not ready to become
the man who saved the world

from an alien menace?

What did you do to me?

I've given you a gift.

I've given you life with
the very thing that will

bring your enemies death.

I've given you a second chance.

I've given you a cause.

Let's move.

Supergirl.

We haven't heard from you.

We were just leaving
to catch the Kigori.

Oh, we just dropped that
little guy in containment.

Yeah.

Stand down, guys.

I'm sorry.

Team Krypton was just having #toomuchfun.

I mean, I've always loved
being Supergirl. But today...

Next time it would be nice
if you followed protocol

and alerted us that an alien
combative was no longer

an active threat.

Your cousin may not work for
the DEO, but you still do.

Sorry.

We were... We were just having...

# toomuchfun. Yeah, we know.

Uh, energy drain coming
from the holding area.

Again.

It started happening last night.

All energy resources at the
DEO suddenly diverted to him.

You're exposing him to kryptonite?

He's a survivor, not a prisoner.

It's a precaution.

We don't know anything about him.

Ooh, power is back at 100%.

His vitals have jumped again.

It's at the same rate
as the power drain.

He's repairing himself
at a cellular level?

It's like photosynthesis.

His cells are absorbing
the electrical energy

and converting them to chemical energy.

You should test his levels again.
Now that he's...

We've got this, Superman.

Sure you do.

I should go.

I know you two aren't
the best of friends.

But you promised you'd be
nice to him while he's here.

Yeah, actually he said he would try.

How... How is it hard
to be nice to Superman?

He's Superman.

If it means so much to
you, we will get along.

Thank you.

We still on for sister night?

Yeah. Of course.

Do you know it's Clark's
favorite show, too?

Is Clark is coming to sister night?

Yeah. I mean, he's in town.

And he is family.

The more the merrier.

First day as a reporter.

This is like five times more exciting

than buying new school supplies.
Which, look, I did that.

I see that.

- I got a reporter pad.
- Uh-huh.

It's for taking reporter notes.

- Yeah.
- Because...

I'm a reporter now.

Hey, Kara. Kara.

You're gonna do great.

I hope so.

I really don't want to disappoint...

Kara, do you think I could
trouble you for a minute?

Good luck.

Oh, watching Clark Kent walk away

is like transcendental meditation.

And all of your worries, all
of your concerns in life,

they just fall away.

That's...

- Glad to hear it.
- Hmm.

Kara, I would like to introduce you

to your new boss.

Really? That's wonderful.

Well, whenever they get here,
I am ready for action.

I like your view, Cat.

- Very clear.
- Mmm.

I'm sure, that's the
first and last time

you'll ever compliment my view
on anything, I'm guessing.

Snapper Carr, meet Kara Danvers.

Hi, sir.

Snapper will be running
the investigative team

at

He's one of the best
journalists I've ever known.

And he has the apparel to match.

Shabby, not so chic.

Mr. Carr, it's... It's
an honor to meet you.

I've read your series on
corruption in the mayor's office.

It was...

Well, it won the Pulitzer. So...

Kara will be your newest stringer.
Teach her well.

I am so excited to get started.

I will work on this harder
than I have ever worked on

any... Anything else ever before.

Did that go well?

Uh, yes.

Yes, he really liked you.

Run along.

So, does Clark like red or white?

No, none for him.

Alcohol doesn't effect Kryptonians

but he still won't drink and fly.

He's a big, big nerd.

Perfect timing.

Hey, Clark.

Hey, Alex.

Um, could you give Kara
and me a minute together?

Of course.

Thanks.

Listen, um...

There's something we should discuss.

It's okay.

You're going back to Metropolis.

Yeah.

It's... It's time.

Yup.

I just...

I thought you'd stay a
couple days longer.

And I would love to,

but I've got to back to
Lois and to the

And Metropolis needs its hero, too.

I understand.

One last team-up?

Sir.

Sir, you don't want to do this.

Corben?

No.

Metallo.

I was shot in the back.

At least you'll see your death coming.

Kara.

Kara.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

I'm just a little dizzy.

You told me that only the DEO
had access to kryptonite.

So how would you like to explain

what just happened out there?

A kryptonite-charged
cyborg almost killed Kara.

Almost killed me.

Start talking, J'onn.

A shipment went missing
four months ago.

We've done all we can to find it.

Four months ago?

"Went missing"?

Stolen.

We thought it was an inside job

but everyone in the
transport came up clean.

So you have a mole.

We don't know that.

If you'd gotten rid of
it when I told you to...

We would have been helpless when
Non and Astra launched Myriad.

Or have you forgotten
that there was a force

even the Man of Steel couldn't defeat?

Superman and Martian
Manhunter are gonna fight.

This is terrible.

This is awesome.

We have given our lives
protecting the people of Earth.

If you cared about Kara at all...

Watch what you say.

Or what?

Cadmus.

Announcing themselves to the world.

Declaring open war.

They want to kill us.

All of us.

Cadmus has my father.

If they turned John
Corben into Metallo,

what do you think
they've done with him?

- We'll find him.
- And stop them.

How?

Metallo isn't just flesh
and blood anymore.

Cadmus has given him a
metal endoskeleton.

Traces of the alloy had to end
up on my hands when I hit him.

I can analyze it at the
Fortress of Solitude.

Agent Schott, get Non and Astra's

anti-kryptonite technology
out of storage.

See if you can improve upon
it for our two friends here.

I get to make Superman's new suit?

No pressure.

Superman, this thing is
bigger than the both of us.

We should work together on this.

I hope you like the cold.

I asked for copy five minutes ago.

Am I late to the editorial meeting?
I'm sorry.

You missed the editorial meeting.

If I don't get copy on Cadmus
in five seconds, you...

You live another day.

No one else is safe.

Mr. Carr, I'm sorry. Just
tell me what I need to do

and I will get it done.

Where's my chair?

You don't get a chair, ponytail.

That's fine. I... I like
action better anyway.

I can pound the pavements.

You don't get a chair because
you don't work here.

But that's not your call.

Ms. Grant hired me.

I don't care what Cat says.
My office, my hires.

But this is the job I chose.

Oh, you chose it?

But you didn't earn it.

You don't just become a reporter.

This isn't a Facebook status update.

You're a reporter because you
went to journalism school

or because you walked the beat.

Either way, journos
live to tell stories,

to get to the truth, to
get their hands dirty.

I'll admit I have a lot to learn.

But if... If you just
gave me an assignment...

No assignment, no job.

Now get your entitled
ass out of my office

before I channel my last divorce

and break you emotionally.

Well, if...

You...

Thanks for killing the lingering notion

that you might speak or write well.

Ms. Grant, do you have a minute?

Do I have a minute?

Do I look like I can
spare a minute, Kara?

- Have you met me?
- Sorry.

Thirty seconds. Spew it out.

Snapper Carr, he's refusing
to acknowledge my hiring.

Oh, I see. And what would
you like me to do about it?

Tell him to listen to you.

I'm sorry.

Am I hearing things?

You want me to instruct your
new boss to be nice to you

because you don't know how
to stand up for yourself?

Um... Yes.

Um...

No.

No, no and no.

I will not go talk to your new boss.

I will not fix things for you, Kara.

You are a grown woman.

You are smart and
talented and astonishing.

And how many more times am I
gonna have to tell you this,

for you to accept who you are?

I just need you to pull up
your big-girl pants, Kara,

and own your power.

Because I'm not gonna be
around for very much longer.

What does that mean?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Ms. Grant, are you dying?

No.

- No.
- Oh, God.

No, Kara. I'm not dying.

I'm leaving.

Okay.

The cat is out of the bag.

I am taking a leave of
absence from CatCo.

What?

I've just done all there
is that I can do here.

I'm like a shark in a tank,

and I'm swimming around in
circles and I'm moving,

but I'm not getting anywhere.

And yes, yes. I've created
a media empire and...

I'd like to think that I
spread some light in humanity

out there in the world.

And I launched Supergirl
for God sake. But...

I've just been swimming in
the same pool for too long.

There are new seas out there
that I have to go conquer.

I need to dive.

Everything
is changing so fast.

I do not do well with change.

Gosh, Ms. Grant. I...

I really can't imagine
being here without you.

Kara.

Oh, Kara.

You will rise to the occasion.

Now,

I want you to go in there and show that

son of a bitch Snapper
what you are made of.

Chop chop.

This was a total failure.

He should have never
been out there at all.

You think so?

I'm very pleased, myself.

He managed to wound Superman.

Do you have any idea
how difficult that is?

But the Kryptonians are still alive.

It's only a matter of time
before they strike back.

On that we agree.

Give me another chance and
I'll take them both out.

You'll get your chance, John.

I promise.

We're moving to Phase Two.

Phase Two?

We don't even have a
suitable candidate.

Actually, I've got the
perfect man for the job.

Who?

What is this? Wait.

What are you doing?

Ready to do your part
to save the world?

No! Wait, stop. Please!

Let me go! No!

They won't even know what hit them.

Your parents?

Yes.

You speak Kryptonian.

We're both men without a home, Kal.

If we don't preserve each
other's history, who will?

You can't have it both ways, J'onn.

You can't offer
friendship with one hand

and kryptonite with the other.

- I have to.
- Why?

Because Mars is a crypt.

Because angry gods burned our young

and we were helpless to stop them.

Because I will not be
caught unprepared again.

Hate me if you want.

It is what it is.

I don't hate you, J'onn.

I just don't trust you.

Because you don't trust me.

We should have been allies.

Is kryptonite really worth us
being alone in this fight?

Kelex.

Master Kal. How may I assist you?

Scan for unknown molecules.

Film of radiation

commonly associated with
contact to promethium,

the strongest metal known to man.

Promethium?

Now that's interesting.

Hey.

Any word from Hank?

No.

- Any word from Clark?
- Nope.

I'm sure they'll figure out
a way to find Metallo soon.

I just hope they don't hurt each other

while they're figuring it out.

I got un-hired by
my new boss yesterday.

Turns out I'm not a reporter.

Kara.

And Cat's leaving.

Clark's leaving, too.

Everything is changing.

I'll get us some ice cream.

Things will be better tomorrow.

I've been thinking though.

What if I moved to
Metropolis to be with Clark.

Metropolis?

Yeah. I mean, think about it.
National City would be safer

without me around creating
a target for Cadmus.

Hank wouldn't have to worry
about me feeling uncomfortable

with kryptonite around.

And you, you'd be able to
do your job at the DEO

without worrying about me.

Alex, if I was in Metropolis,

Clark and I could protect the
city and keep each other safe.

And there's still so much
I want to learn from him.

What do you think?

I think I've kept my mouth shut

the entire time Clark
has been here while you

have ignored me.

And... And now you want
to just move away?

I thought it would be good for you.

You wouldn't have to
take care of me anymore.

What about us taking
care of each other?

My whole childhood was spent
making sure that nobody found out.

I gave up a medical career
to join the DEO for you.

And my... My whole life has
been about protecting you.

I thought you said it
was a great adventure.

Yes.

But it's cost me a lot.

It cost me my father.

- Alex, we're going to find him.
- Yeah?

Well, how are we going to do
that with you in Metropolis?

Don't do that.

This is not about one
family over the other.

This is about me not
feeling alone anymore.

When I'm with Clark, I feel like

I'm connected to somebody
who actually understands

what it's like to be me.

So does he understand that
he abandoned you with us?

Do you?

It's Clark.

How's the Fortress?

We ID'ed the material Cadmus used

to create Metallo's endoskeleton.

Agent Schott, I need to know
if there's any promethium

within a hundred-mile radius.

Okay. Promethium, you
hot little number.

Show me a heat signature.

Bingo. Atomic number 61, come on down.

That's in the industrial district.

That can't be Cadmus' headquarters.

So, at the moment Metallo's
on his own. When?

Those suits are very
nearly totally ready.

And by that I mean
they're in no way ready.

Kara, we're gonna have
to go with Autumn.

We might not get this chance again.
Meet me there.

It's over, Metallo.

I am happy to give
myself up for my cause.

But it's not over.

Not by any means.

You make a move, we'll incinerate you.

Go ahead.

But you'll still be here with me.

And if you're here with me, then
you're not in Metropolis with him.

It's a setup. We have
to get to Metropolis.

You better follow him,

or I'll burn you alive.

We'll be back.

Trust me.

I should have been here.

I should've known.

Uh, screwdriver.

Ow! Watch it.

I know you think that I'm
just a pretty face here,

but these hands are the real
money-makers here, okay?

Sorry. I was thinking
about something else.

Yeah, well, until I finish with
the Kryptonian-saving body armor,

just think with less stabbing.

Here we are, once again
doing everything we can

to help Kara, to keep her safe.

Do you know the last
time I went on a date?

Two years ago.

You date more often than I do.

Rude.

You ever spent time
inside a foster home?

No.

Yeah. Well, I have, after
my father went to prison.

And I gotta say it is
nothing but being told

how grateful you should be that
someone is taking care of you.

Dude, that's not family.

Family is not about
score-keeping or who did more.

It's just about showing up.

So just chill with the attitude, okay?

Because I'm having a hard
enough time getting this ready

with all the trace
kryptonite in the air.

What did you just say?

It's like a subatomic
locker room in here.

Kryptonite leaves a residue?

Yeah, just like any other
radioactive substance.

So if we wanted to find out which
DEO agent stole kryptonite,

helping Cadmus,

maybe even help experiment on my dad...

Hey, why don't we get silly,
and take a Geiger counter

to the actual locker room?

What am I looking for?

You're listening.

It should beep.

McGill?

Did you file your report this morning?

Was he on the kryptonite
transport team?

No.

There's no reason he
should have gone near it.

He's the mole.

What are you gonna do?

Agent McGill. I have
an assignment for you.

Yes, ma'am.

The President asked that we move
a portion of our kryptonite

to our stronghold in Nevada.

Get a transport readied.

Yes, ma'am.

Winn, have you seen Alex?

"Alex..." Oh, Alex Danvers.

- Why?
- Uh, yeah.

I need to talk to her.

I haven't been very fair to her lately.

Well, she is not here.

Where is she?

Winn?

Where is Alex?

Freeze.

It's not what it looks like, Danvers.

Shut up and turn around.

Here's what's going to happen.

I'm bringing you in.

And you're gonna tell me
everything you know about Cadmus.

No, I'm not.

Agent Danvers of the DEO.

Nice to meet you.

I'll tell your father you say hello.

Where's my father?

You know I won't say.

Well, you might as well tell
me, if you're gonna kill me.

I suggest you die
remembering him as he was.

It's better that way.

Unless you'd care to join him.

Cadmus welcomes any bright minds

willing to help our cause.

My father would never
collaborate with you.

Do you know what I see
when I look at you?

An abused child.

A brainwashed little girl the DEO

has warped into believing
that demons are angels.

That your life should
be sacrificed to them,

our invaders.

All I'm asking, Alex, is
for you to think about

what your life would be
if aliens had never come.

What it could be, if they were no more.

That's what I'm trying
to do for the world.

And you could help me.

I've killed a Kryptonian before.

I stabbed Astra of the House of El

with a sword made of kryptonite.

I've done what you want to do.

What you can't do.

I'm impressed.

Good.

Because I want you to
know what I'm capable of

when I tell you that
when I find my father,

I'm coming for you.

Well, I suppose that
settles that, then.

Don't move.

You okay?

Yeah. Thanks to you.

I'm sorry. I'm... I'm so
sorry for everything. I...

I'm sorry if I ever
have made you feel like

you were less to me than Clark.

You are the only reason I've ever
felt at home on this planet.

I'm just better when we're together.

Me, too.

They think we're
divided, but we're not.

"They" who?

I know what to do about Metallo.

Both Metallos.

But I need you.

I'm here.

Always.

Okay. So, this is a bit of a rush job,

but they should keep you alive.

What do you think?

-Nice job, Mr. Schott. You should be...
-Not you.

I love it.

Are you crying?

No.

So, what's the plan?

Well, Cadmus thinks that we

are above the rest of the world,

that we'll retreat alone
to our own cities,

just wait for them to come and get us.

What they won't be expecting
is for us to have backup.

We're listening.

The Kryptonians have parted ways.

They're pretending at honor,

standing in each of their cities.

This is their weakness.

The ego of gods.

Now's the time to strike,
when they're alone.

No one will stand with them now.

Divided, they'll fall.

I told you I'd be back.

And I told you I'd burn you alive.

Now it's time to punch your face.

I'm liking this. Thank you, Winn.

Strength in numbers.

And now it's really over.

You thought you could
divide and conquer?

You might work better
alone, but we don't.

Now, we're gonna give
you a little time-out

and you're gonna think
about what you did.

Alex, now!

Can you see me?

Then it begins.

Will you miss it?

Who told you I was leaving?

- A little bird.
- Little plane?

Yes. Yes, I will...

I will miss CatCo every day.

Well, I admire you, Ms. Grant.

It's scary leaving the
life you've known.

Hmm.

I'm about to take a leap into
the unknown and... And I'm...

I'm thrilled.

Do you have any idea how
exciting it is not to know

what I'm going to do tomorrow?

It's exhilarating.

I wish I could do that, sometimes.

Start something new.

Be someone new.

Hmm, well...

Life is long.

And you will be many different
people before the end.

And knowing you,

every single one of them
will be extraordinary.

But not as extraordinary as me.

No, well... Of course not.

That's very true, Cat.

Have I ever told you that
my name is Catherine?

I'm not telling you my real name.

I had to try.

- I know.
- It's the reporter in me.

Be safe, Supergirl.

You, too.

And come back.

I know we all need change,

but we need friends, too.

Oh, I'll be back.

I will.

What's going on?

New beginnings.

Where are you going?

And are you going because of me?

Not far and no, I'm doing this for me.

I'm the new Cat.

Well, not the new Cat.

She gave me her job while she's away.

- Wow.
- Yeah!

It's a big step up, right?

And... And I can talk to
Snapper for you, if you want.

I appreciate that. But
I'm gonna have to

make my own luck on that one.

Congrats,

boss.

I like the sound of it.

Don't get used to it.

Five-hundred words on the
dual Metallo attacks

in Metropolis and National
City with eyewitness accounts,

comments from police sources
and zero adjectives,

all thoroughly vetted and verified.

- You don't work here.
- Yes, I do.

Not if I don't say so.

You will. Read it and you'll see.

You done wasting my time?

You don't want it? Fine.

Plenty of other outlets will.

Wait.

I don't like you, and I
never will, ponytail.

I don't need you to like me, jerk guy.

You're as bad at insults
as you are at reporting.

Come back tomorrow.

Maybe I can teach you something.

- Do I get a chair?
- No.

Here it is. All the
kryptonite on Earth,

encased in lead.

I trust you'll do the
right thing, Superman.

Thank you.

I'm going to miss you, Winn.

Oh!

Next time, let's... Let's...
Let's really hang out.

Yeah.

Alex.

I will do everything I can
to find Jeremiah, I promise.

Thank you.

What... What's that mean?

There's not really a word
for it in your language.

I guess the closest thing would be...

"To be continued"?

I love you, Kara.

I love you too, Kal.

Oh...

Yes. Yes, Mr. White. Yes, I'm back.

No, sir, I won't ever be
gone that long again.

Oh, gosh no, Mr. White. I...

I would never imply
that you would miss me.

I'll have that article
for you in a jiffy.

A jiffy is a unit of measurement, sir.

I know what it's like to be
a stranger on this planet.

So when you wake up,
I'll be here for you.

So, you never know what
it's like to be alone.
