Supergirl (2015–…): Season 3, Episode 14 - Schott Through the Heart - full transcript

My name is Kara Zor-El.
I'm from Krypton.

I'm a refugee on this planet.

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 adopted 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 really like you,
Lena Luthor.

I never thought
I'd see you again, Father.

We could make this our home,
if you'd like.

I would like that. Very much.

I haven't been completely
honest with you.

It's time for me
to tell you the truth

about why we're really here.

The criminal known as Toyman

escaped from maximum security
prison this morning.

I am nothing like you.

Don't underestimate yourself.



I know some of you are scared.

I know some of you have never
done this before.

I know some of you are ready

to get out there
and prove yourselves.

But just remember why
we do this.

We do this for the people.

Well, now, don't you tell me
to smile

Maybe stick around
Make it worth your while

Got numbers beyond what
you can dial

Maybe it's because we're
so versatile

Style profile, I said

It always brings me back
When I hear "Ooh, child"

From the Hudson River
to the Nile

I run the marathon
To the very last mile

Intergalactic planetary
Planetary intergalactic

Your turn.

What went wrong

Baby, seemed like we were
going to

Take this further

And further

Same old song

And the juice we got from
the squeeze wasn't worth it

Take your shirt off!

Worth it

No one can move me
The way that you do

Nothing erases the feeling
between me and you

Oh, who let her pick
this song?

I drove all night
to get to you

I get so emotional, baby

Ain't it shocking what love
can do

Here we go.
Come on, Pops! Pops, come on!

Don't you know
We're caught in a trap

I can't walk out

Because I love you too much,
baby

So, Imra's telepathic?

No, it's kinetic. She moves
stuff, not reads minds.

That's kind of a cool
party trick.

Can she move you?

Yeah, she's, uh...
She's pretty impressive.

Well, she's gotta be.

You never were into
wallflowers.

So, what about you? Huh?

You know, same old same.
You know, work is work.

You seein' anybody?

No, not really.

Why are you checking
your phone every
15 seconds then?

Fair point.

-Yeah, there's somebody.
-Hmm?

But we haven't, like,
you know,

really figured out
what we're doing yet, so...

-You happy?
-Working on it.

To working on it.

To working on it.

I gotta pick a song.
Come on, come on, help me.

See, I told you, you had
nothing to worry about.

Karaoke is not for the weak.

It requires either great
courage or a complete
lack of shame.

But I like it.

You do a killer rock star.

I listen to it sometimes
while I look after
the apartment.

Oh, yes, yes.
You have a stunning apartment,

that I haven't been invited
to yet.

Oh, we're still getting it
together.

It's been three months.

Okay, I think it's time
for a housewarming party.

-I don't think so.
-Yes.

The house's temperature
is quite comfortable.

Well, we could do dinner.

Lena Luthor's personal phone.

If you have this number
you must be important.

Hey, you, it's me.

Uh, just checkin' on you,
seeing how busy you are.

Maybe, uh, you're interested
in a hand-delivered
dinner tonight.

Give me a call. Bye.

Oh, you know me well.
Yes, that's the one.
Here we go.

-Hey. Hey.
-It's gonna be so good. Hi.

Hey, can we talk real quick?
It's, uh, kind of important.

Yeah, yeah. Of course.
In a second.

-Uh, Winn's about to melt
our faces off.
-Right.

Waitstaff, yes, you are
appreciated.

-Fellow drunks.
-Yeah!

There it is. Mr. Karaoke Man,
if you please.

Thank you very much.

-Whoo!
- Yeah!

Uh-huh.

That's Winn's dad.

Guys.

I got this. I got this one.

Okay...

Hey, I'm okay. It's okay.
Just...

Do you mind if I stay out here
for a second with you?

Like, he's just gone, right?
That's all.

I mean, it's not like
anything's gonna change.

I never talked to him,
I never saw him, I...

That doesn't mean you never
felt him.

What's that... I'm supposed
to be feeling something,
right?

I don't feel anything.

I don't think. Um...

Just go inside.

I'm not going back in.

Okay.

Winslow Schott, Sr.

was a man with many demons.

As we lay him to rest,
we may not celebrate his life,

but we can examine it,

and perhaps forgive a troubled
soul its transgressions.

Would anyone care to speak
on behalf of the deceased?

Winn?

Do you recognize me?
It's been a while.

I know how long it's been.

You just missed him.

Oh, I wouldn't say that.
I never missed him.

I'm not here for him.

Oh, so you're here for me?

Wow, Mom, it's a little late.

You have every right
to be furious with me.

Oh, thank you.
Thank you for your permission.

But I am so happy to see you.

Honey, you don't understand it
yet, but we're finally safe.

Everybody, get down!

Bastard always wanted
to go out with a bang.

Okay.

I hate to ask, but I have to.

He's dead, Kara.

-Are you sure?
-He's dead.

Look, I had the warden

and two separate medical
examiners sign off
on the body.

I had them cross-check his
dental records

and his fingerprints,
just to be sure.

The dude in the box
was my father.

Okay?

So why blow himself up
at his own funeral?

Maybe for the headline.

Yeah. "Toyman's last trick."

Sounds about right.

I still think we should run
a full mass spectrometry

on the explosive residue,
Winn.

It may tell us who's helping
your father.

No one is helping him!

Seriously, he was a
crazy person.

Crazy people do crazy things.
Like, oh, I don't know,
mass murder.

Well, I'm happy to report that
Mary has a clean bill
of health.

She wants to talk to you.

Yeah, she's had 20 years
to talk to me.

My son, may I borrow
ten of your Earth dollars?

The strike team tackled
the deliveryman when
he entered the lobby,

I think I should tip him well.

"Deliveryman"? But we're
having dinner with
Alex and Kara.

That's why I bought
a tomato pie.

Dad, we're cooking. We got
the ingredients earlier on.

So, we should get to your
place ASAP and get that roast
in the oven.

Don't worry, tomato pie
is my favorite hors d'oeuvre.

Go, go be with them.

The analysis will take hours,
I'll stay here.

What about the Worldkillers?

Alex has every available agent
looking for them.

Go eat.

All right.

-Mon-El.
-J'onn.

Hey, Kara... We, uh...
We never talked.

Hey, I, uh...
I owe you an apology.

For what?

When we were together,
I never really got

how it must have been for you
to find out that
I'd been lying.

About being Daxam's prince,
about a lot of stuff.

And I am sorry
that I did that to you.

I do really appreciate
you saying that.

Of course.

-Are you okay?
-Uh...

Yeah, Imra...
Imra lied to me.

About, um...

About something big

with Legion business,
and Brainy was in on it too.

-Oh. Wow.
-Yeah.

When your wife conspires
with your best friend--

It feels like garbage.

Hey, can we, uh...
Can we get a drink later?

After all the Winn stuff
is handled, I mean.

There are some things
that I think you should know.

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

What are friends for?

You're the best.

See you later, buddy.

Later, buddy.

So,
you work with Supergirl.

You should
sit up straight,
be proud.

You cannot be down here.

Oh, please. If anyone asks,
I'm just looking
for the bathroom.

It's around the corner
to the left. Okay, bye now.

Yeah, I tried that one, but
it was closed for "enhanced
interrogation."

Kidding. Jeez. Just kidding.

You think this is funny?

Oh, a little gallows humor
never killed anybody.

Well, except for the fellas
hanging from the gallows.

What do you want?

I just wanted to see
your face, Winn.

I wanted to hear your voice,
I wanted my son back.

I have spent 20 years
imagining this moment
and now I...

Leaving you, it gutted me.

And I've carried that with me
every day of my life,

but I had to, Winn,
because your father--

Oh, no, I'm sorry,
let me guess.

He threatened your life.

No, Winn. He threatened yours.

He told me that if I
went near you, ever,

that he would kill you.

And when he died,
I thought it was safe.

But I was wrong.
You're still in danger.

I don't believe you.

You saw what your father did
at his own funeral.

I saw the last
grasping prank of a lunatic.

And now, what I'm hearing
is an excuse.

Twenty years in the making.

Hey, I had 20 years
to think, too.

You want to know what I think
about the most?

Let me set the scene for you.

It's the night Dad finally
snapped.

And I'm sitting
in the police station,
freezing cold,

because I'm in my pajamas.

When the police came
and picked me up from home,

I was asleep.

Remember? In bed. Alone.

And the nice officer,
he drapes the coat
over my shoulders.

I feel a little better.

So I'm sitting there,

and my cold little feet are
dangling in the air,
and I'm waiting.

I'm waiting for my mom
to pick me up.

'Cause they said that
they called you. Yeah.

Yeah, they said it was just
gonna be like an hour,

and then they'd explain
everything.

And then it was two hours.

And then it was
the next morning.

When I lie in bed at night,

staring up at the ceiling,
unable to sleep,

I'm not wondering why Dad
finally, suddenly snapped.

No, that doesn't haunt me.
What haunts me is you.

You, who left me,

when I needed you the most.

With no explanation,

no goodbye.

I'm so sorry.

I don't care anymore.

-Winn--
-I don't need your excuses.

You wanna keep me safe? Great.

You know what you should do?
Leave again!

Something's happening.

-What the hell is that?
-It's a message. For me.

Is that a wicked witch?

No. Is it flying monkeys?

I'll take the big one,
you take the little ones.

I am so happy
I don't work here.

Quickly!
Under the desks.

-Come on!
-What are you doing?

-We've gotta stay down--
-This is my job, Mom!

Oh! You came for me.

Mom!

Get away from him,
you nightmare.

This is your job?

This is?

Okay. Well, keep me posted.

Problem?

Oh, there was
a minor kerfuffle,

but, uh, no one was hurt
and Kara's got it handled,

so you just keep relaxing.

So, some of that
old time rock 'n' roll, huh?

That was an epic karaoke
performance.

Indeed.

But a problematic genre.

-Been on the Internet?
-Yes.

Many of the pioneers
of rock 'n' roll were humans
of color who

did not receive the fame
or fortune their white
counterparts did.

Have you faced many challenges

in your human form
since you've been here?

No. My relative isolation
has its silver linings.

My son has found goodhearted
friends in his time
on this planet.

You all treat me like family.

You've chosen to live
as a black man in America,

which is a harder existence,
in and of itself.

-Why?
-You know, I was...

I was forced to become
Hank Henshaw
out of desperation,

but now I choose this face.

I like it.

And I wouldn't want
to live in a world

where I need to change
the color of my skin
to feel safe,

to feel seen, to feel like
I'm not a target.

I'd rather change the world.

And whatever my son's fight
may be, I choose it as well.

And I have your backs.

-Let's drink to that.
-Cheers.

Mmm.

Alex, you need more...

"Wine," Dad.

Your English is fantastic,

-don't worry about the
occasional slip-up.

I'll go get some more wine.

I hope you still have room.
J'onn has made chocolate pie
for dessert.

Well, your mom's right.
Somebody is definitely
helping your dad out.

I just honestly
just wish she would leave.

Like, who the hell does
she think she is anyway, huh?

Like, she just doesn't get
to walk back into my life
after 20 years.

I did not get a say
in her walking out.

I definitely get a say
in her walking back in.

-It's a fair point.
-Yeah.

You think that I should?

No! Dude, no.
Don't think that I should.

Brother, it doesn't matter
what I think,

it matters what you need.

You know what?
Even if, even if

my dad had threatened
to kill me,

she could have done
a thousand other things.

Gone to the police, the FBI.

No. Instead, she decided
to abandon me.

And you know what? She has to
deal with the consequences.

You know,
if she'd have stayed,

then, maybe, you know,
we could have had a...

You know,
a great relationship.

Let me stop you right there.

That is a dangerous
thought exercise designed
purely just to piss you off.

When my dad died,

my mom did everything
for me and my sister.

She worked night and day,
she busted her ass,

and I still blamed her.

Because she was the only one
there.

And that was rough.

We got over it, though.
You know,

took a long time,
and a lot of forgiveness,

and me taking responsibility
for my part in that.

You can't change
what happened,

but she's here now.

It's up to you what you wanna
do with that.

I always knew he was brilliant
and capable,

but I worried when I left that
he'd go the same way
his dad did.

He worried about that, too.

I should have been here
to tell him

that he and his father
were worlds apart.

Did his friends tell him?

We did.

-Thank you for that.
-Well, it was easy.

He doesn't always get
the credit, but he keeps us
going around here.

He's always the one
with some crazy idea

that no one else
would possibly dream of.

My son works with Supergirl.

It's just such a relief.
He saves lives.

I just wish he'd let me
tell him how proud I am
of him.

I think he will.

Eventually.

Sorry about the mess.

Oh, this? This is...
That's not your fault.

Can I ask, uh, when it comes
to your day-to-day,

on a scale of one to ten,

how big of a pain in the ass
are flying monkeys?

-Maybe a two.
-Oh.

-Does that make you
feel better?
-Yes.

-Very much so.
-Good.

Pie in three minutes.

Okay.

Well, thank you for having me
tonight.

The place looks wonderful.

Oh, the pleasure was mine.

You mean a great deal
to J'onn.

Well, he's very important
to me, too.

I know we are new friends,

but I hope, in time,

that we can be
the kind of family
you and J'onn have become.

That would be lovely.

I have always wanted
a granddaughter.

You mean besides
K'hym and T'ania?

Who?

Your granddaughters.

My grandmother was
a music lover as well.

Especially later in her life.

It just seemed to always
give her that extra spark.

Even when she started
forgetting things.

Like, little things at first.
It was just words,

you know, why she'd walk
into a room,

and eventually,

people.

I think you might
be exhibiting
similar symptoms.

Please don't tell him.

-You already knew?
-On Mars we called it Za-alet.

Translated roughly,
it means "decay of memory."

Dementia.

I am losing myself.

As it progresses,
you're gonna need help.

He has helped me enough.

No, you're gonna need more
than that.

Because you could
hurt yourself or others.

You have to tell him.

He just got me back,

I can't ask him to watch me
disappear inch by inch.
It's too cruel.

Well, that could happen,
no matter what.

So, the sooner you tell him,

the sooner he can get help.

I'm sorry, Myr'nn,
but if he asks me,

I mean, I don't think
I could lie to him.

You will say nothing!

He is my son.

And I choose how best
to protect him, not you.

-I'm sorry, I didn't mean--
-Get out.

Get out of my house.

Dad,
everything okay
out there?

What happened?

Ah!

That is an angry
monkey corpse.

I was hoping to access
this thing's inner workings,

but it's like a
game of Operation.

Every time I get close
to cracking it,
it just zaps me.

Can I try? I love Operation.

I'm not sure if you noticed,

but it's, like, a top-secret
government facility in here.

Oh, nobody cares.

Are you paid enough to care?
No, of course not.

-You should unionize,
by the way.
-Mom, that's...

Did I ever tell you I was once
your father's apprentice?

I thought you two met
in Ivy Town.

Uh, we were
both students, yes,
but that's not where we met.

I kept the books
at the local toy store

and your father
was the genius stock boy.

And he taught me about
the math in the machine.

One and one is two,
it's simple, it's elegant.

It's clean.

Just like a wind-up toy.

Your father's mind was
a wind-up toy.

I know what made it tick.

So then you knew how
to stop him

from, uh, going crazy
and killing a bunch of people.

Um, do you remember when
I took you to Disneyland
when you were nine?

Do I remember?
Yeah, we drove overnight,

'cause you wanted to be there
the second it opened.

And then we get into
a car accident at 2:00 a.m.
in the morning

and Dad has to come and
pick us up and takes us home.

We never actually went
to Disneyland.

No. We were never going there.

We were going
to a domestic-abuse shelter.

And he ran us off the road.

Stole a car, sped down
the highway,

ran us into a ditch.

You sat dazed in the backseat
with a concussion,

and he and I had it out
on the shoulder
of the interstate.

That's the night that
he threatened to kill you,
his only son,

just to hurt me.

Your father didn't just
go to bed normal

and wake up the next morning
a monster.

He was paranoid,
he was controlling,

he... He was mean.

I never saw it.

I didn't want you to.

And I'm sorry, Winn.
I'm sorry that...

I couldn't get us out
from under his shadow.

That I couldn't save you.

That's not on you.

Maybe not, but the last
20 years, those were.

And you were right about that.

But I just wanted you
to understand why.

Alex?

-What happened?
-What do you mean?

Did he, um, offend you?

-Say something?
-No. Of course not.

No, your father is wonderful.

So then, what went so wrong?

You know, we were having
such a lovely time.

And now my father has
completely closed himself
off for some reason.

Why?

You're gonna have to
talk to him about it.

It's not my place. I'm sorry.

But, for the record,

I had a lovely time, too.

If you have this number
you must be important.

Yo, it's me again. Uh...

I talked to your assistant,
he said you hadn't checked in,
in a few days

so I just wanted to...

Just give me a call
when you can.

Any luck on figuring out who's
behind the Toyman attacks?

No, but we've discovered
a thousand ways how not
to make a flying monkey.

And also a few ways
to make better flying monkeys.

Oh, the wiring on these
is amateurish at best.

Alas, we are no closer
to finding out
who actually built them.

I could use a break.

I'm gonna head downstairs,
rest for a little bit.

I don't know why
you hate me or my son,

but it stops right here.

I'm pointing a gun at you,
by the way.

In case that's a thing you'd
be interested in knowing.

A gun. That's a dangerous toy.

But mine are worse.

Have you guys seen my mom?

I thought you two were putting
Humpty Dumpty together again.

No, she's gone. So is the
side panel from the monkey's
gear chamber.

I have your mother, but you
can trade your life for hers.

She's hanging around
at the old
Wiggins Game Company factory.

But hurry, Junior,
the pressure is on.

Winn, don't come here.

-I'll go.
-Me too.

Not without me.

That's exactly what she wants.

I've spent my entire life

trying to fight off the part
of me that's like my dad,

but now, now I can use it.
Let's go.

Hey, Buffalo Bill,
why are you doing this to us?

"Us"? Who's "us"?

The shrew wife who wouldn't
let her husband have any fun?

The son who never wrote,
never called, never visited

his lonely, ailing father
in prison?

You really think you're a pair
worthy of sympathy?

-Or mercy?
-You knew my husband.

I worked maintenance
at the penitentiary.

He was a brilliant,
dedicated man.

A once-in-a-lifetime mind.

He graced me with everything
he knew.

And, in exchange, I promised
to carry out his wishes.

Even after he died.

Oh. So you're his patsy.

His apprentice. His protege.

And the executor
of his final wishes.

To punish you,
if you broke the rules.

I'm gonna kill your son.

I'm gonna make you watch,
just like Winslow wanted.

Then I'm gonna kill you, too.

Any ideas?

She was in that
claw apparatus.

-Suspended from above.
-We'll find her.

What is that?

It's a plane.

No, it's not, it's a bomb.

Go find Mary.

Welcome, welcome

to the Willard Walter Wiggins
Game Company.

We got a thing on our 12.

-That's our six.
-I'm very stressed right now.

Literal Hot Wheels!

So glad Junior brought
his friends.

There she is.

[Jacqueline] Heat vision,
freeze breath, and so many
points of articulation?

I think I'll keep you.

It's so rare to find a vintage
superhero in mint condition.

Supergirl.

Mom.

Go get her.

I got these.

Kara, I've got you!

You okay?

Whoa.

Cloth magic.

Mom!

Turn around and leave
right now!

I'm here to rescue you.

Don't Luke Skywalker me.

This crazy woman is trying
to kill you.

Don't give her the chance.

Well, if it isn't Toyman Jr.
barreling headlong
into danger.

I see your father
left you none of his brains.

Oh, really? 'Cause I see that
he left you none of his
showmanship.

What, after all this
you're just gonna shoot us?

Most important thing
your father taught me,

stick the landing.

Really? Because what I got
was, "More is more."

Winn!

Your dad taught me this one,
too.

Did he teach you this?

Childish things.

Thank you, Winn. We've got to
get that cleaned out right now

before it gets infected.

When was your last
tetanus shot?

Mom, recently.
I am very cautious.

Oh, hey.

Carry on, my wayward son

There'll be peace when
you are done

This is unfortunate.

Oh, white-boy rock.

Hey, rookie mistake, bud!
It's...

-I'm so proud of you.

What, for shaming my friends?

No, you came out
from the darkness,

you forged an incredible life
for yourself.

I've spent so many years
worrying

about what had become of you,

what the loss of your father,
what the loss of me
did to you,

and you have not only
survived,

you have excelled.

And I couldn't be happier.

-I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
-[scattered cheers]

-And now I can leave.

You don't need me.

No. I mean, no, I don't,
but, look, you're here.

Okay? And I'd like
us to get to know each other.

I'd like that too, Winn.

Hey, and besides,
you can't leave now.

Why's that?

Uh, because
I am signing us up
for a song.

Winn, please.

So, how bad was that?

That was... Thank you.

I would just say maybe
you should sing Kansas
for yourself

and not for other people.

Yeah, that's good advice.

Yeah, well, I only wanted
to talk to you anyway, so...

Hey. Uh...

I'm really sorry
you're hurting,

that really sucks,

but I can't be the one
to talk to you about this.

It's something you and Imra
have to deal with between
the two of you,

and I don't think she'd like
you talking to me about her.

And, frankly,

it doesn't really feel great
for me.

So...

That's that.

I totally get it.

Really?

But, just so you know,
I wasn't actually gonna
talk about Imra.

I mean, not about my feelings.

But I felt like you needed
to know what she did,

and why she did it, 'cause
it directly affects you.

The Legion didn't land here
by accident.

Wait, I thought you hit
a disruption.

Yeah, we did, but Brainy
and Imra hit it intentionally.

And they hid the real mission
from me

because they didn't trust that
I'd wanna come back
to this time.

What's the mission?

Well, the third Worldkiller,

the one you haven't found yet,
Pestilence...

In 1,000 years
she evolves into Blight.

Whoa.

Yeah, so if we can
find her now, in this time,

then we can save everyone,
today and in the future.

And, look, we have
a common enemy now,

so we can work together.

But our common enemy
has been your enemy for years,

so I got a lot
to learn from you.

Like, wait a sec, what...
What was that back there
with the T. rex?

Cape tricks.

"Cape tricks"?

My old Legion uniform had one.

Well, I've been fighting
with a cape for three years

and all it seems to do
is get in the way.

I can help with that,
if you want.

I'd like that.

Why haven't you worn
your old suit?

Yeah, it got damaged
on Rimbor. It's a long story.

Well, I know someone
who could fix it, if you want.

Ghost pepper mac and cheese
with a side
of jalapeno peppers.

My favorite.

Yeah, I know.

So, I, um...
I spoke to Alex.

She, uh... She wanted me
to know that she
had a lovely time.

I hope whatever happened
between you two,

there are no hard feelings.

Dad, what is it?

What is it?

I'm sorry, J'onn.

I'm so sorry.

What's up? What's wrong?

I want you to have a life.

I don't want to
keep you from your friends.

Keep you home,
keep you locked away.

-You won't, you won't.
-But I will!

I must tell you something.

Take on me

Okay!

Take me on

Take on me

I'll be gone

They're a lot worse than
I thought they'd be, though.

- Lena.
-James.

I'm so sorry.

I've been trying to reach you
for a couple of days now.

I know, it's just,
I didn't realize how massive
the workload would be

back at L-Corp.

Sam and I have been swamped.

You guys have been
at work this entire time?

Holed up in a conference room,

pulling all-nighters
like it's a startup.

It's okay, though,
the work's important.

Just, time got away from us.

I've been worried about you.

There's nothing
to worry about.

Everything's fine.
