Supergirl (2015–…): Season 3, Episode 18 - Shelter from the Storm - full transcript

Previously on Supergirl...

We got rid of two
out of the three Worldkillers.

Ruby Arias must die.

Hi, Patricia.

You were my mother.

And I always wanted
what was best for you.

So you just let me leave?

There's too much at stake
for you to still be mad at me.

I said we would work together.

Never said it would be
sunshine and rainbows.

I'm Guardian.



I broke into your lab for Supergirl.

I trust you.

That wasn't Lex's Kryptonite.
I figured out how to make it.

Wow.

And I thought I had a nice view
from my office.

I like waking up next to you.

Ever think about getting your own place?

I mean, you're kinda slumming it
here at the moment.

When I first moved to National City,

I didn't know if I was gonna stay.

Lex was in prison,
the company was in shambles.

I didn't know if I was gonna
put down roots, settle down,

in case the city rejected me.

Well, it's been two years.



I think it's safe to say
that you can sign your own lease.

Even with, uh, Supergirl
thinking the worst of me?

What does she know?

Asking you to spy on me?

What do I know?

I'm really glad that I can tell you
my secrets now.

Of course you can. Me too.

Where is the child?

Where's Ruby Arias?

Where is she...

You'll never find her.

I went to the market
yesterday, Father.

I bought some of those cocoa beans.

I thought we could mix them up

with some of those Sidamo Guji beans
you like so much.

On this planet, they call the mixing
of the two brown waters...

A mocha.

Please leave me be, Roh Kar.

It's, uh...

It's not Roh Kar, it's J'onn, father.

But I still have a little time
before seeing the Legion off.

Perhaps I could help you
with the Ta'ar Ka'riq,

continue the preservation
of your memories.

I haven't the energy today.

I think it would be good for you.

I have not the energy.

Maybe if you could turn on
the vinyl discs,

that would be nice.

Sure.

Of course.

Chameleon was
the first Legionnaire to fall.

Stricken by the blight.

Six more quickly followed.

So you put them in stasis
to save their lives.

It was Brainy's idea. Keep them
on ice until we can find a cure.

I was wondering why you hadn't
woken them up to join the fight.

We couldn't risk exposing
your timeline to the sickness.

Couldn't risk causing the very thing
we were trying so hard to prevent.

But we did prevent it.

And with Pestilence defeated
in this time,

they were never infected.

So their vitals are back to normal.

It is imperative that Imra
return to the future.

We don't know that
the Titan Alliance will have held

given the change to the timeline.

Every second we waste could bring us
closer to intergalactic war.

Well, with the Legion's help,
we defeated two Worldkillers.

I think we can handle Reign
from here on out.

Especially with my new cape tricks.

Well, I guess
it's back to the future then.

Which I do know is a movie title.
I just like saying it.

Yes, honestly,
what time traveler doesn't?

"Back... To the future."

When I first got here,

I assessed you
as a first-level intellect.

Thank you.

As reference, I'm a 12th.

Yes. Yes, you've mentioned that.

But now that I've gotten to know you,

I realized that you're actually
more accurately categorized

as a 1.42-level intellect.

Wow. Thank you.

It is I who's expressing gratitude
for all of your help...

With this gift.

Was this space dirt?

Earth dirt.

But it is from the 31st century.

Are you serious? This is future dirt?

Yes.

How did you... Did Mon-El tell you
about my dirt collection?

No, I ran a diagnostic
of your personality,

and calculated with a 98.7% certainty
that you either collected dirt

or New York Mets baseball cards.

And judging by the last 783
uninterrupted Major League seasons,

I figured dirt was more likely
to hold its value.

Shall we embrace?

What are you doing? That's...

We're gonna bro-hug.

So, this way, and then you wanna...

- Yeah.
- I'll go...

You... Yeah, that's good. Yeah.

The worst moment of my life

was watching my sister die.

But now, because of your help,

I have faith that I'll see her again.

Hey, Alex.

You gotta see what Brainy just got me.

Space dirt ain't got nothing
on this baby.

Oh, the nerd-fest beckons.

Mon-El's changed a lot.

He's become a great man.

And I'm certain you have a lot
to do with that.

Thanks, Kara.

Hey, uh...
I think it's time to buckle in.

I'll, uh...

I'll help Brainy with the preparations.

Well, you would think
that we would be experts

at goodbyes now.

It's no secret that I struggled
when you got here.

Yeah, you weren't the only one.

But I can honestly say now,
truthfully...

I'm really happy I got to see you again.

Witness the man you've become.

It meant the world to me
to be back here with you.

And with everyone.

To fight by your side.

I'm really gonna miss your friendship.

Kara, there's been an attack
at Lena's penthouse.

Go.

Man, J'onn's gonna be sad he missed you.

Yeah, tell him it's okay.

I'll see him in a thousand years.

Okay.

Why would Reign go after Lena?

Well, Lena did imprison Reign
and then, you know,

experimented on her for a little bit.

But revenge isn't Reign's MO.

- I agree.
- You're right.

Reign wasn't looking for me.

She was looking for Ruby.

- Is she...
- Reign won't find her.

Ruby's safe, I promise.

And are you okay?

Fine.

So, Reign is after Ruby
and she started with Lena.

Where else might she look?

Sam's mother, Patricia,
she's got a farm outside the city.

Supergirl and I will go
get Patricia to safety

and then wait for Reign to attack.

Anything you've discovered
while studying Reign

that you think we should add
to our arsenal?

Electricity.

It was how I was able to wake Reign up

and force her back down.

Ooh, I can retrofit something.

- Alex?
- I need to get to Ruby.

I told you, she's in a safe place.

And the less people
that know about that,

the safer the place will be.

I understand that,
but she's probably afraid.

Lena, please let me just get to her,
just in case.

Where Ruby is,
Reign will never find her.

It's not on any maps.
You can't see it from space.

Nobody knows about it,
except for me and my brother.

And how does Lex know about it?

Because it's his mansion.

Patricia Arias, we need to talk to you.

Let's go.

Mrs. Arias?

Francis Pierce, I told you

that the next time I caught you
in my house looking for pills,

I was gonna put a hole
through your thieving hand.

Supergirl.

We're sorry if we startled you,
Mrs. Arias.

This is J'onn J'onzz from the FBI.

We have reason to believe that Reign
is on her way here.

Which means this house isn't safe.

We need to get you out of it.

She's her, isn't she?

My Sam is Reign.

How do you know?

I, uh... I never told her
where she was from. I...

I just wanted her to be normal,
and then when she was 10,

she started doodling all over her books.

It was like something inside her
just needed to get out...

And I punished her for it.

I grounded her, and I tore up the pages.

So she drew it on the wall to spite me.

When I saw the same mark
all over the news, I knew.

All I ever wanted to do
was to protect her.

That's all I ever wanted.

When we bury things...

And I should've known this, but...

When we bury things,

they come at you even harder.

What Sam's become has nothing to do
with the way she was raised.

I was an awful mother.

I kicked her out.

Hmm.

I've never even met my granddaughter.

Uh...

We need to, uh, get you out of here
before she comes.

No, if she's coming here,
I wanna be here when she does.

I kicked her out
when I should've helped her.

I am not gonna turn away from her now.

Not much further, Agent Danvers.

I'm fine, Mrs. Queller.

Oh, of course you are.

I mean,
you're in much better shape than me.

You don't have these knees
I have to contend with.

Do you know, it took me a week to get
used to the distances in this place.

The step count from wing to wing, 5,000.

Slightly bigger than my townhouse.

Well, I'm in a studio, so...

And the creepy decor.

Oh, this one.

Worse than the Mona Lisa.

Her eyes follow you everywhere.

Not in a good way.

But, you know, if you can overlook
some of the furnishings

and the fact that the owner
was a serial killer...

Luckily, we haven't found a body yet.

And the amenities
are really quite fantastic.

Ruby doll, look who's come
to pay you a visit.

Aunt Alex.

Hi.

I'm so glad you're okay.

Is my mom with you?

No. She's still sick.

What's wrong with her?

She won't tell me,
and Lena won't tell me.

Do you know?

No, I don't.

I haven't heard from her in days,

and on the news, there are stories
about the Pestilence outbreak.

Is that what this is?
Was my mom infected?

No, Ruby. No.

I'm 12 years old, Alex.
I can handle anything.

Just tell me what it is.

I would if I knew.

But I don't.

Now, why don't you take me on a tour
of this mausoleum?

I heard there is an indoor pool?

Everything is set.

Patricia's in the safe room.

She said we can grab anything
out of the fridge if we want.

She said there's pudding.

No thanks.

Mon-El and everyone
missed you this morning.

Uh, yeah, I'm sorry about that.

I was, uh, dealing with my father.

Since the incident at the DEO,
he has become increasingly depressed.

Irritable, if I push him.

Can Alex prescribe something?

I've been giving him Martian medicine,
which helps.

But the reality is,
with the psychic dampener on,

there isn't really much he can do.

Yeah, I know I needed to protect him,

protect all of us, but...

I still wish there was some way
I could make him feel useful.

There are moments when he doesn't
seem to remember who I am.

Thinks I'm someone from his past.

I'm sorry, J'onn.

It's funny how his past memories
are so clear to him,

yet his present thoughts are so chaotic.

Hey.

Pestilence.

How?

Patricia.

Are you home?

Ruby?

Sweetheart, it's Mommy.

I know you're scared.

But I've come back for you.

Did you miss me?

So much.

Sam!

Sam, I know you're in there.

I know my daughter's in there.

And I need her to understand,
you are not this monster.

You are kind and good.
You are everything that I wasn't.

You're not this.

Honey, if you're listening,
if you can hear me,

I need you to rise up!

Not for me. Not for me, Sam.

This is for Ruby.

For your daughter.

What did you do for your daughter?

No!

I love you, Sam.

I forgive you.

She's dying.

Reign has all
the Worldkiller's powers.

Let's get her out of here.

We gotta go.

Oh, yes.

This view is beautiful.

How long till we reach the disruption?

Five hours,
22 minutes, 16 seconds.

Oh.

That's a shame.

What's a shame?

I was calculating the odds
of Supergirl and DEO defeating Reign

now that her power has tripled.

Tripled?

It appears she's absorbed the powers
of Pestilence and Purity.

Wait, how do you know this?

I bugged the DEO...

The dirt I gave Winn.

And he thinks
he's a 1.42-level intellect.

Why would you bug them?

I grew quite fond of Supergirl
and her compatriots.

I wanted to keep tabs.

Tell me the odds.

On their own, they have a 51% chance
of success.

Ironically, if only
one Legionnaire had stayed behind,

their success rate jumps to 88.8%.

I mean, technically, the odds
are in their favor.

Wait, but if Reign absorbed
Pestilence's powers,

then she could still become the Blight.

Negative. I checked the vitals
of our sleeping Legionnaires.

No Blight.

That's a certainty.

The only certainty.

We have to help them.

Supergirl's fight is not our fight.

Besides, we have to get Imra home.

Supergirl is stronger
than any Legionnaire.

I have faith in her.

So do I.

I'm going to check the stasis chambers

for re-entry into our time.

Patricia.

Patricia?

Hey.

Stay with us.

When you see Sam,

you'll tell her that I'm sorry.

That I should have held her close.

And tell Ruby...

Tell her that her grandmother
loved her.

Promise me.

I promise.

James.

What is it?

Patricia Arias is dead.

And Reign killed her.

And she absorbed
Purity and Pestilence's powers,

so she's now more dangerous than ever.

Lena, you are going to have to
tell Supergirl

that you know how to make Kryptonite.

No, no.

James, you know I can't do that.

Lena, you have to.

Okay, Reign is out there
killing innocent people,

and you are the only one
with the means to stop her.

You know what happened

when I told Supergirl I had Kryptonite.

Years of goodwill
vanished in an instant.

- I became the enemy.
- That's not true.

You're not being realistic, James, okay?

We both know that Supergirl

sees Kryptonite as a personal assault.

She sees it as a hostile attack
on her very nature,

and she will do everything in her power

to stop me from making it,

even if I'm using it for good.

I just can't allow that to happen.

You're right.

Supergirl has seen Kryptonite
in a certain way,

but that's only because your brother
tried to use it to kill Superman.

But this is different.

The world's biggest enemy
happens to have

the same weakness as Supergirl.

So if you come to her as an ally,

with this,
to try to help her catch Reign...

Believe me, she will be grateful.

That's horrible.

Yeah. No, no, thanks for calling.

What's wrong?

Who needs your help, my mom?

Uh, no. No, no one.

Hey, why don't we go watch a movie?

Mrs. Queller told me that
they have Young Frankenstein,

which just so happens to be one
of my all-time favorite movies.

Stop lying to me!

Ruby, I'm not lying, okay?

That call wasn't even about your mom.

She's fine.

So, let's watch a movie.

Right, I'm gonna go talk
to Mrs. Queller,

and she'll hook us up with popcorn
and ice-cold soda, and Gene Wilder.

I mean, come on,
this is gonna be amazing.

You just hang tight.

I'll be right back.

You should be resting.

Ah, I need to be on my feet.
Lying down is just so boring.

I told Patricia
I'd give a message to Sam, but...

I don't know if I'm ever
gonna see Sam again.

Even with everything I've learned
from Mon-El,

Reign has me outmatched on every level.

J'onn, how am I gonna fight her?

Usually, your secret weapon
is your heart, Supergirl.

But I didn't see even a glimpse
of humanity left in Reign

that you could reason with.

Hmph.

White Martians are as soulless as Reign.

When you battled them, were you ever
able to get through to them?

Besides M'gann, no.

But I just used my skills
as a warrior, like you.

But there was one amongst us

who thought they could reason with them.

And he did.

He got them to spare his life.

Father?

Ursula, you should not have come.

When I told Kem-L

I didn't agree with his position
on the Eradicator project,

I wasn't looking to be persuaded.

Father, this is not Ursula.
This is Kara, my friend.

Of course you are.

We came because we could use your help.

I'm of no help to any being.
Please leave me be.

- Father, I just need to...
- I said no, J'onn!

Dad, look, I know you cannot journey
through your mind like you once did,

I know that.

But your memories are still intact.

None of it has been lost since
you've been doing the Ta'ar Ka'riq.

You just need help to access it.

I can do nothing for you.

I've had enough failure.

Um...

J'onn told me that when the Greens
chose to fight the Whites,

you pleaded with those in charge
to have open talks, is that right?

Everyone else just saw their aggression,

but you saw something
you could reason with.

What was it?

I don't remember.

Father.

Do not play tricks on me.

Just look
at me in this form, Father.

Like you did when you saw Ursula.

You remembered exactly
your past conversation.

Now, look at me,

and tell me why you think
you can get through to me.

Get through to you?

You're as stubborn and righteous
as Phobos.

I can't persuade you of anything
you don't already believe in.

Whites kept you alive, why?

Because I knew that the sacred scrolls

were important to them.

And inside my mind,

I held all the knowledge
and secrets of those scrolls.

And if they killed you,

that knowledge would be lost
to them forever.

You abandoned your own beliefs
and appealed to theirs.

To their code.

And Reign has been pretty clear
about her code of justice.

Father, you might just
have saved us today.

I have?

You have.

We're approaching the disruption.

Mon-El?

You need to go back.

What?

No. No, despite Brainy's odds,

I'm sure they'll find a way
to defeat Reign.

I'm going with you to the future.

We're needed there.

You're saying that because you think
it's what you need to do for me,

out of duty.

But this time needs you, Mon-El.

You need to help them.

And you need to go back
so you can figure out

what's been weighing on your heart.

I'm with you, Imra.

I risked our lives
and our marriage to stop Pestilence.

I still believe it was worth it.

I hoped that once we left,

you'd put your feelings
for Kara behind you.

I swear I never...

You've done nothing wrong.

You've tried to bury your feelings.

You behaved honorably.

You must know that I would
never do anything to dishonor you.

I know.

But I need a man, a partner...

Who will choose me with a full heart.

Go back.

Help her fight Reign.

If you stay, then that's your destiny.

If you return,
I'll know you have no doubts.

- Lena.
- Supergirl.

I have something for you.

But don't be alarmed,
it's in a lead-lined case.

Is that Kryptonite?

To help you fight Reign.

Oh, wow.

You have gall, lying to my face.

I did not lie.

This isn't Lex's, it's mine.

I figured out how to make it, and I did.

And I supercharged it just for Reign.

You what?

You are going to turn over
the formula to Alex.

You are going to take
any Kryptonian elements from your lab

and bring them to the DEO,

and you are never going
to make Kryptonite ever again.

You know,
I knew this is how you'd react.

But James Olsen convinced me
that we were on the same side.

He thought you'd actually be grateful.

You think I should be grateful

that you learned how to make
the one substance

on this planet that can kill me?

Thousands of things
can kill me, Supergirl.

And everyone else on this planet.

Fire. But we don't go around
banning bonfires or candles.

Cars kill people every day,
and yet we still have the courage

to get in every morning
and drive ourselves to work.

There is one element on the planet
that kills a Kryptonian,

and you can't tolerate its existence.

- No.
- You really do have a god complex.

Do you know what it's like
to walk into a room

and your skin feel like it's going
to be seared off your bones?

Or like nails are running
through your blood?

That's what Kryptonite feels like.

I don't know, it sounds like exactly
what you need to subdue Reign.

I need to be the only person

in control of Kryptonite on this planet.

Even if I did trust you,
even if we were on the same side,

this substance is so lethal to me

that I can't risk
encountering it by mistake.

Trust is hard for me, too, Supergirl,

but since we seem to need each other,

we're just gonna have to figure it out.

Hi, you've reached
the voicemail of Sam and Ruby.

We can't get to the phone,
so leave us a message.

Mom, please pick up. I need to see you.

Where are you?

I just wanna talk to you.

Please pick up or come get me.

I need to see you.

Please pick up.

All right, I think I finally
got the projector working.

You ready?

- You okay?
- Yeah.

Ruby.

- What is that?
- That's Reign.

Get downstairs now. Go.

It's Reign. She's at Lex's mansion.

Which means she knows Ruby's there.

With Alex.

You can't go.

You're still injured.

But I can use Lena's Kryptonite.

There's no one else.

Actually, there is.

Mon-El.

- The future...
- The future's fine.

Brainy and Imra are still on the way.

Then why did you...

To help you with your fight
against Reign.

All right, come on.

I want you to go hide back over there.

And keep your eyes closed.

Reign.

Supergirl!

I can't get a good shot.

I got this, Supergirl.

Mom?

Mom?

- No!
- Ruby, go. Go, go.

Go, get down, down.

No, you can't.

You would stop me?

I don't have to.

You have a code, a purpose.

You fight against evil
and you dispense justice.

You're here to make a better world,
one without sin in it.

But this girl has not sinned.

You can't kill her.

You won't.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

I owe you an apology,

for being so hard on you.

Without your Kryptonite,
we wouldn't have stopped her.

You just have to understand
when it's Kryptonite,

to me that's more than a gun

or any of the other dangers
you were talking about.

It's personal.

It's personal to me, too.

It was a way to help my friend.

I do trust you, Lena.

Good.

If you'll both excuse me,
I'm gonna go work on a cure.

Why'd you come back?

Uh...

Well, it seems that Brainy might have
put a nanny cam in Winn's dirt.

That's upsetting.

So Brainy ran some calculations,
and mathematically,

the odds of you beating Reign
in her new form

exponentially increased if one member
of the Legion comes back to help.

As always, I am thankful
for Brainy's calculations.

But you didn't even need me.

Beating Reign
using her ethical code against her?

- It's ingenious.
- I have Myr'nn to thank for that.

And we couldn't have
contained her without you, so...

Hopefully, we can keep her here
until we turn her back to Sam.

Well, I'm not leaving
until the mission's complete.

And I think we should train.

Yeah, okay.

But, uh, later, all right?

I'm gonna go talk to Ruby.

I promised her grandmother
I would tell her something.

Sure.

I have discovered
the most incredible thing today.

Did you know,
if you grind the coffee beans

with the cocoa beans,

you get the most delectable mixture?

It makes the flavor sensors
of my mouth smile.

It's called a mocha, Father.

"Mocha."

Hmm.

I would've thought, "Choco-coffee."

"Choco-coffee."

You know, that does
kind of have a ring to it.

It's so good to see you
up and around, Father.

You should know that
we were able to catch Reign,

thanks to your advice
about the White Martians.

I have no recollection
of what you're talking about.

Well, all you need to know
is that you helped.

J'onn.

Did you know,

if you grind the coffee beans
with the cocoa beans,

you get the most delectable mixture?

I did not know that, no.

I'd like to try it.

Thank you.

That was her.

I saw her face.

It looks like her, I know. I know.

But I promise you, that's not your mom.

Why should I believe you?

You promised she was gonna be okay.

You're right.

I didn't tell you the truth.

I was hiding it
to try and protect you, and I, uh...

I see now that that was wrong.

I give you my word

that I will do everything
within my power to keep you safe.

And from here on out,

I will always be honest with you.

Is that okay?

- Could you hold the door, please?
- Got it.

- Lena.
- Kara.

- You are a sight for sore eyes.
- Hi.

I've been missing you for weeks.

I'm so sorry I haven't been in touch.
It's just...

Oh, don't apologize about anything.

What are you doing here?

Visiting Ruby.

I didn't know what to bring,
so I brought ice cream.

That's a lot of ice cream.

Did you hear what happened?

Yeah. Yeah, I did.

What an awful day for her.

Yeah, that's an understatement.

Alex tells me that you're helping
Supergirl fight Reign.

I'm sure she's so grateful
for your help.

Well... Frankly, I am only working
with Supergirl to save Sam

because I have no other choice.

What do you mean?

Well, it's that old adage.
"Never meet your idols,

"it'll only lead to disappointment"?

Oh, yes.

Supergirl's not all truth and justice
like she pretends to be.

You know she had James break into
L-Corp and search my private vault?

I'm sure she had a really good reason.

Of course, James didn't do it.

- Really?
- Well, no.

We've been dating each other for months.

He knows me, and he trusts me,
and I trust him.

Supergirl went behind my back,

and used my personal relationships
against me.

That's something my mother would do.

She crossed a line.

I can never trust her again.

I didn't know what flavor Ruby likes,
so I bought every flavor.

I hope you brought your appetite.

Oh, you know me.

Tanya, please stop.

We wanna help you, we promise.

In the name of Coville,

please bring us back the journal.

Tanya!
