Supergirl (2015–…): Season 5, Episode 17 - Deus Lex Machina - full transcript

Lex proceeds to lay an intricate plan to bring Lena closer to him, defeat Leviathan's latest attack, and pit Supergirl against Leviathan; how Lex came into power after Crisis is revealed.

Previously on Supergirl...

With Obsidian Platinum,

you will never have to choose
between your life and your dream.

Ever since Luthor Corp partnered

with us, the board has a new member.

He could lock in subscribers.

It's built to trap you.

You don't think
our users deserve a warning

that the lenses might be problematic?

I need a full diagnostic write-up
on the fail-safe error code.

Yes, Miss Rojas.



We'll always find you, Eve.

Leviathan is everywhere.

The shooter

has been identified as Lex Luthor.

Officers responding.

He's been disarmed,
but he's still on the premises.

I knew it was him.

That lady on the
ground was gonna shoot us.

One by one.

And that's when Mr. Luthor showed up.

He wrestled the gun from her.

It just went off.

You saved them, Mr. Luthor.

Thank you.



Wait a minute.

These people will all think
Lex saved them.

Wasn't Lex the one
who put 'em in here?

Apparently not.

Listen to this.

Amy Sapphire was right.

Technology is the greatest evil
mankind has ever faced.

I will continue her work by killing
people until the world wakes up

from its apathy.

She was an acolyte of Amy Sapphire's.

She'd been kidnapping Obsidian
Platinum users for weeks.

Took full responsibility.

Thank you so much.

I was sure Lex was behind this.

Yeah. We all were.

I don't understand.

Lex...

a real hero?

How could this be true?

It's so much more fun
making Superman kill Superman.

You've got to get
Luthor out of your head, Kal.

Who are you?

I...

hate...

Kryptonians.

_

Are you all right, sir?

That depends.

Am I dead?

Heavens no, sir.

But I dare say you're a bit hungover.

Coffee?

I saved the world.

It's all in a day's work
for you, isn't it, Mr. Luthor?

Why else would they be awarding you

the Nobel Peace Prize?

Uh...

I didn't just save the world...

I made a new world.

Any chance you've seen
my darling sister around?

So, the Monitor kept his word.

The pre-Nobel celebration
went so late...

Ms. Luthor decided
to spend the night.

Don't worry, Lena, this will just

extend your beauty
sleep for a few hours

while I handle some family business.

Sweet dreams.

Make sure she ends up
in her own home.

Sugar, dear?

You're rather calm for a woman

who just learned the entire
multi-verse has been obliterated.

You do understand
I'm not the son you raised?

Perfectly.

Would your Lillian have been
frightened by world destruction?

If so, you've upgraded.

- No sugar.
- That's my boy.

The past is the past.

Best to focus on the future.

In this world,
the Luthors are revered.

How do we maintain our status?

Well, of course,
the first order of business

is finding the Fortress of Solitude

- and destroying the Kryptonians...
- Why?

Supergirl is your greatest ally.

Was, I'm afraid.

Supergirl will remember the
previous world as vividly as I do.

Soon it will be war.

We need to be prepared.

You, me, and Lena.

The Lena who killed you? That Lena?

Well, you said she'll remember
your previous world, too.

What's your point?

That you have an inferiority complex

over a pair of hokey heroes
in blue tights.

If Supergirl sneezes too hard,

it would split this planet in half.

And yet, it was her friendship
with your sister

that spun you out.

Friendship and loyalty to Supergirl

was what prompted Lena to kill me.

Your obsession with Kryptonians
led to your demise once.

Let's not create
a repeat performance, hmm?

On this planet,
the Luthors are cool-headed.

We plan, we implement, and we rise...

together.

Show your sister you believe in her.

Support her efforts.

She'll gravitate toward you
and away from the Kryptonian.

The question is...

can you give up your pet
vendetta and stay focused?

Are you really querying
my strength of will, Mother?

I'm a Luthor.

Good.

Now go make Lena your ally.

All right,
so you'll be my friend now?

The world is ours now, Lena.

You don't need a robot.

And you don't need friends.

You need a partner. Imagine what
we could accomplish together?

Why not give it a go?

You think this is your world now?

You were a puppet on a string
for Leviathan before.

What makes this time any different?

What the hell is Leviathan?

You see, that's the thing
about narcissists.

You're so focused on yourself,

you can never see
that you're the mark.

Your little fan-girl was working
for Leviathan the entire time

she was working you.

Ms. Tessmacher.

And what exactly does Leviathan want?

No one knows.

They're behind seismic catastrophes,

earthquakes, floods, plagues.

They're alien, ancient,
and all-powerful.

And if it wasn't for your hubris,

you would've seen that
they were playing you.

All right, Lena.

You've had your fun letting me
know I let my eye off the ball.

I'll admit this Leviathan
is... irritating.

What are you gonna do?

Exterminate them.

Hello, National City!

Well, by now you
might've heard that my

splashy show at ToyCon
caused, well...

Hi, boys.

Just stopping by to examine
the ship for the DEO.

That's your cue to leave
and wait outside.

Search for Leviathan.

Oh...

Of course.

Show me all of her associates.

Stop.

I underestimated you, Eve.

Give me everything you have
on this woman on this Earth.

Please...

It is really loud out there.

Lex Luthor?

What are you doing here?

I'm here to help you, Ms. Tessmacher.

You know my name?

I know a lot more than your name.

I know that you're brilliant.

I know that Leviathan
recruited you to

work for them as a
spy and an assassin.

But you turned them down,

so they murdered your father
to change your mind.

I know that they've forced you
to do their bidding

by vowing to kill your beloved mother

if you dare defy them.

And I know that you hate it,

because you're a good person.

Am I?

You are, Eve, believe me.

I wouldn't be rescuing someone I
didn't think was worthy of my time.

Nobody can fight Leviathan.

You're going to have to trust me.
Do you think you can do that?

Better decide quick, Ms. Tessmacher.

Stay with them, and continue to
bloody those pretty little hands...

or work with me to destroy the
people who stole your life.

I don't want to kill anymore.

Good choice.

So, what do you want from me?

Be my partner.

Keep working at Leviathan,
and be my eyes and ears.

In return,
I promise I'll protect you.

And that you won't have to do any
of this awful, dirty work anymore.

I'll do it for you.

Obsidian North is proud to
introduce, Platinum,

a virtual reality experience
that will look, feel, and taste

more vivid than real life.

Give yourself the gift of Platinum.

_

Ms. Tessmacher...

what is it?

I couldn't get Gamemnae to
take me onto Leviathan's ship.

- I'm scared.
- Ah. Forgive me, Eve.

I should've eased your mind
days ago. Please.

Now, this is a live feed.

I'm sure you recognize the sweet
little house you grew up in.

There's your mother
baking in the kitchen.

But I suspect
what you don't recognize

is that sedan, or those other two.

Those cars belong to ex-Mossad agents

that I've hired to guard
your mother around the clock.

How can I thank you, Mr. Luthor?

Lex, please.

And you can thank me after we've
found the cold-blooded killer

who took your father's life.

We're a team, Eve.

I do have some good news.

I convinced Gamemnae I would
be most useful at Obsidian...

on the Platinum project.

Well done! You are brilliant.

Well, we do have one small problem.

The Luthor tech that your
sister convinced Andrea Rojas

to put into
the Platinum infrastructure,

it helped solve the bio-link

when people were getting toxic
shock eating virtual food.

I like to refer to that
as the lobster problem.

Or rather, middle America's desire
to be gluttons without calories.

Well, it caused a glitch.

But...

Your fail-safe failed.

I assure you,
this glitch will be fixed

long before the launch
of Obsidian Platinum.

Don't worry, I found a way
to patch the glitch.

That's not a glitch.

That's my plan.

My colleague is retrieving a code
that digitizes the human psyche,

enabling us to make someone immortal

by uploading their
consciousness into a computer.

I believe we can reverse the same
code and use it against Leviathan.

Then Leviathan is immortal no more.

But I need an invitation
to get onto their ship.

Which means I need Gamemnae, or
Gemma, if you prefer, to trust me.

And trust begins with that glitch.

But if there's a glitch
and people are getting stuck,

nobody's gonna buy the lenses.

Correct. Leviathan will
need to fix it.

But they won't be able to
because you won't let them.

And when Leviathan can't fix
it, they'll have to cover it up,

and that's where I come in.

I will help Gemma with the cover-up.

Once she trusts you, she'll give
you an invitation to the ship.

An engraved one.

So, you need to go back to Obsidian

and make sure that glitch
does not get fixed,

or traced back to me or Lena.

Done.

What are you gonna do?

Start exerting pressure.

Give me another one.

Hell, you know what,
just give me the bottle.

My wife is cheating on me.

Tell me about it, man.

Maybe I can help.

Lex.

My new apartment, it's a dream!

When you said that you were
getting me a new place,

I thought you meant
a small studio somewhere.

You're very precious to me, Eve.

No one's ever treated me
this way before.

It's time you realize
how wonderful you are.

But we still have a mission.
How is Obsidian?

I've been monitoring
all of the beta users.

And Richard Bates still hasn't made

a move on his wife's virtual lover.

Not yet. Because his friend,
the bartender,

who turned out to be an amazing
hacker, I might add,

won't let him complete his virtual

torture chamber until
the time is right.

And I still need to
create trust with Leviathan.

Amy Sapphire.

She blames Obsidian's VR
for the death of her husband.

She threatened Andrea Rojas' life.

You're going to warn Gemma
to gain Leviathan's trust?

The opposite.

We're gonna help Amy Sapphire attack

Andrea Rojas and blow up Obsidian.

But if anyone attacks
Obsidian, Leviathan

is gonna want me to terminate them.

Gemma won't ask you
to assassinate anybody

because I will intervene
before she gets the chance.

I will offer up Supergirl to
protect Andrea and Obsidian.

Just make sure that Amy
Sapphire gets these gauntlets.

It'll make her a worthy
adversary for Supergirl.

And after Supergirl succeeds
in saving Andrea,

I will have proven myself to Gemma.

And then, I will suggest that I roll

out Obsidian Platinum worldwide.

Lex, you're brilliant.

But beyond that, you are so kind.

- And I think I'm...
- I know, Eve.

I feel the same.

But we have to stay focused
on our goals,

free you from them
and avenge your father.

There'll be time for us later.

Now, I have to show you something.

Oh, they're so cute!

Aww!

Q-waves?

Something like that.

Aw, he likes you.

He's happy.

That one isn't.

Oh, gosh! That didn't work right.

Actually, it worked perfectly.

_

Amy, no!

This can't be right.

Do you need to get that, dear?

Not important.

Ms. Tessmacher,
why have you brought me

to the world's saddest
urgent care center?

People have begun getting stuck in

the VR, just like you anticipated.

Uh, Gemma asked me
to look into the glitch.

I told her that
there was nothing we could do

without shutting down
the entire system,

which can't be shut down
thanks to Luthor PowerCore.

She asked Margot
to start cleaning things up.

Who or what is a Margot?

Leviathan middle-management...

and a mean old hag to boot.

It's time to set Richard loose.

This is a back door that will allow

Richard Bates to hack into Platinum

to get revenge.

That'll put welcome eyes
on Obsidian's problems

as this place starts
to fill up with bodies.

Make sure he gets it.

Oh, and I have
something else for you.

Perfume?

Uh-uh... Perfume, poison...
Potayto, potahto.

What you're holding is the
deadliest substance on Earth.

You told me I wouldn't have to
kill for Leviathan ever again.

And I always keep my promises.

Every single one.

That's why I tracked down the
man who murdered your father...

just like I said I would.

Who is he?

A Leviathan enforcer.

He's in the Peruvian Andes
working undercover with an NGO.

I suspect
because he has a target there.

I should put a bullet in his head.

It's the least he deserves.

But we can't go to war
with Leviathan.

It has to look like an accident.

You can handle that, right?

Yes.

Then be quick.

I don't expect that he will
stay in one place for very long.

And nor will I.

It's time for me to embark
on my world tour,

hawking Obsidian lenses.

The beginning of the end...

of Leviathan.

"Our lives are connected

by 1,000 invisible threads."

Those immortal words
by Herman Melville

are realized today
with Obsidian technology.

This is my house!

And this is my gun.

But with Obsidian Platinum,

you hold the thread.

You are the architect of your world!

- They found Dad.
- Jeremiah?

He's dead.

And not only your world,

but the world.

There is nothing you cannot

manipulate to your own ends.

Nothing you cannot control!

So are you blowing off steam
playing hero,

or working something out?

Obsidian offers something special,

something unique, something rare,

and that, my friends,

is control!

Complete and total control!

One hundred countries,
worldwide saturation.

It took 40 years for the cell
phone to reach as many users

as our lenses have reached
in one month.

All thanks to our passionate
ambassador, Lex Luthor.

Kara...

I heard about Jeremiah.

I came to offer up sympathies.

"Offer up my sympathies."

- God, I sound like an android.
- No.

No, you said it like someone

who's afraid to confront the
woman who called you a villain.

My mother died when I was very young.

And I'm...

I know that pales in comparison to
the losses that you've suffered,

but I know it doesn't get any easier.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for saying that.
That means a lot coming from you.

Um...

This helped me a lot
with memories of my mother

and other family difficulties.

Well, if it helped with
Luthor family difficulties,

I'm sure it'll help me a lot.

Thank you.

_

You missed a perfectly fine
en passant capture opportunity.

You're distracted. What's wrong?

She apologized to her.

Be clear with your pronouns, dear.

Lena apologized to Kara.
To Supergirl.

For the death of Jeremiah.

- I thought you put that behind you.
- I did!

The assassination of Jeremiah
Danvers was the perfect chess move,

but for the fact that it maddeningly
drove Lena back to Supergirl!

And the worst part is that I didn't
even see it as a possibility.

So, yes, Mother,
I missed the en passant.

I'm missing a lot of things,
I'm slipping.

The only thing you're
slipping off of is the wagon.

So Lena showed the alien
a little humanity?

- What's wrong with that?
- It pushes the limit.

First, it's an apology.

Then, it's coffee before work.

Next thing you know, they're playing
Pictionary. That cannot happen!

I know what to do.

I'll set up Supergirl.

You already have a plan
in place with Leviathan.

I did, but this is better.

Why use a nuke to create a
catastrophe to draw Leviathan out,

when I can use a
Sun-Eater to turn Lena

against Kara Danvers in one stroke?

I asked you if you had
the strength of will,

and you said, "Yes, Mother!"

This is a display of weakness.

Not weakness, Mother.

Inspiration.

Checkmate.

Ms. Tessmacher,
it's time to activate William Dey.

Make sure your contact
gives him the name

on the medical bracelet he found.

And then,
I need you to move the bodies.

Don't you think that it's weird

that we're sitting here eating
dumplings like everything is normal,

and yet, Jeremiah is gone?

No. The only permanent thing
about life is that things change.

The cycle of life goes on.

And you... still need to eat.

Yeah, you know what,
this book the Lena gave me

actually has
strikingly similar advice.

"Things are constantly in flux,

arising and passing
with each moment."

We have no control,
so eat the dumplings.

Yeah.

Well, I still can't believe
the fact that she gave you that

after everything that happened.

Well, maybe she's coming around.

Seeing the light about Lex.

No. No light about him.

- That man is...
- The devil incarnate.

- Yes.
- Yeah. Mmm-hmm.

I hope you weren't talking about me.

No. No, no, no. Lex Luthor.

- And are these baked goods?
- Yes.

Scones, sticky toffee pudding,
and banoffee pie,

all my mother's favorite
recipes for comfort food.

I... I hope it helps.

Oh, my God!

You made all of this?

Well, I didn't want to
show up empty-handed

coming here, asking for help...

with a story on Lex Luthor
and Obsidian.

You got a lead?

Wait, you, you both
have been working on this?

Before your father's funeral,
Kelly and I were onto this idea

that Lex had done something
to Obsidian

to cause people to get
stuck in VR and disappear.

The missing people were
wearing Obsidian lenses.

And a friend of mine from the NSA

found a cluster of users
all at the same address,

a warehouse.

But when I checked, it was empty.

Only weird thing was a hospital
ID bracelet on the ground.

So, I checked it for fingerprints.

I found one and sent it
to my buddy at the NSA.

Now, he just called me back
with results when I was baking.

The bracelet belonged
to a Richard Bates.

The same person who hacked
Obsidian's fail-safe.

And who I beat up in VR.

One and the same.

And get this...

The hospital has no record of a
Richard Bates ever being admitted.

Wait a minute. Kelly,
you said there was a list of users that

are still stuck in VR, right?

- Can you show me that?
- Yeah.

Here. This is
the current list of users.

Bonnie. I met this girl in VR.

Why would anyone want
to keep her there?

Human testing. Organ harvesting.

And if people
are getting hurt in Obsidian,

we need to find out about it
and expose them.

If we find the proof,
I'll run the story.

It'll be around the globe in minutes.

The world will know if
Obsidian is endangering them.

They're on your tail.

It doesn't matter.

Our cloaking technology will cover
all our bases from the human eye.

They won't stop
until they uncover the truth.

And what is that exactly?

That you and your
Leviathan associates

are ancient beings

who manage humanity's

excesses.

Don't get me wrong,
Gemma, or Gamemnae,

or would you prefer, uh,
Goddess of Technology?

I approve.

Pompei was spectacular,

the Black Plague, intriguing,

and your current move, creating an

addiction to Obsidian
Platinum, genius.

The only problem is
your plan is now at risk.

No, it's not.

I'll pull up the timeline
for our VR global event.

It'll be a happening beyond
humanity's wildest dreams.

A virtual gathering of
everyone around the world.

No one will want to miss it.

And once the masses are in VR,

I'll kill them all
with a flick of my wrist.

That would be great,
if you weren't about to be exposed.

Obsidian will be shut down,
all the lenses returned

before you sell the first ticket.

You don't have the luxury of time.

What do you propose?

Create fear.

It's instantaneous, and I have
a specific idea of how to do it.

I just need
your stealthiest operative.

Director Dox, long time no see.

I come bearing gifts, a pysanka.

Gifted to me by a Ukrainian
holy man on my world tour.

It brings love and wealth,
and of course fertility.

Does it also bring
the end of Leviathan?

You were meant to have gotten
the location of their ship...

so we can implant the mortality code.

I can't push them.

This delay doesn't have
anything to do

with you using Obsidian Platinum
for your own ends, does it?

Alex Danvers called me.

She wants me to help her
track Obsidian users

she believes are being
lured into some type of coma.

By you.

While it is utterly predictable
that Alex Danvers would call you,

it's not me behind your missing
users, it's Leviathan.

Scout's honor.

I found out from Gemma Cooper.

Then help me find them.

You have the Q-wave cube
from Winn's ship.

I can use it to track the
lenses, find the missing people.

Ah, well, I gave the cube to Lena.

And if you involved her,
Leviathan would kill her.

And as much as I'd like to help
you, I can't.

Leviathan would find out,
and then I'd be their enemy.

And as you know,
the long-term success of our plan

relies on me being the opposite.

But, by all means,
you should help them.

I know how important
your friends are to you.

Okay.

Lex, how shall I help them?

There's nothing at the DEO
that could track Q-waves.

Why don't you ask Supergirl?

I'm sure there's something at that
fortress of hers that could help.

Hey, any luck with the warehouse?

It was empty.

I was able to pick up
Richard Bates' psychic signal,

along with dozens of
other people in that warehouse.

But when I tried to connect,
there was some kind of interference.

It's because Obsidian is adding
Platinum users by the minute.

The lenses interface with
the brain by using Q-waves...

which operate on a similar frequency

as Malefic's Martian brain.

Just as I can't connect with Mal,
I can't find those missing people.

You can connect with them...

by using Myriad.

Lena wanted to use Myriad to
disperse her Q-wave mind control,

but if you turn it on in reverse,

it will compress the Q-waves
in the atmosphere...

making it possible for you to
track the psychic signatures.

And it wouldn't be dangerous?

In your hands, no.

Then I'll go.

But I don't like it.

The brain anatomy of Patient 054
remains normal post-Non Nocere.

The trial continues to exhibit
positive results of Q-wave adoption.

Brava!

You've always been so meticulous
about your data collection.

What is that?

I use a Q-wave broadcast to remotely

access patients' brain activity.

It's being interrupted
by an overlapping signal.

How could someone suppress Q-waves?

I recognize the signature of
this interruption, it's Myriad.

Yesterday, I thought I had an
honest conversation with Supergirl,

and today I find out that she's using

Myriad to interrupt my experiments?

The very device she told me was
too dangerous for anyone to use.

You saw Supergirl yesterday?

I could always just go to the
Fortress, if you told me where it was,

and turn off Myriad
before she interferes again.

No, you'll set off the El Protocol.

This is a new world.

One where Luthors
and Kryptonians work together.

The fortress security won't be
programmed to attack us.

If she's using Myriad,
I wanna see it for myself.

Besides, you at the fortress
sounds apocalyptic.

Well...

then let this ride be on me.

You are using Myriad.

Lena, what are you doing here?

Question is, what are you
doing here, Supergirl?

I thought it was forbidden
to use Myriad,

but forbidden for anyone but you.

There are people missing,
dozens of them stuck in Obsidian's VR.

I have to find them.

There are other ways
to find people than Myriad.

I can think of four
off the top of my head,

but you, you do what you want.

What I'm doing is finding
people your brother disappeared.

Do you have any proof
that it was Lex?

No, I didn't think so.

You just return to your default
position of blaming a Luthor.

You did tell me you'd
treat me like a villain...

If you acted like one,
yeah, I did say that.

And right now, you're trespassing,
and I don't have time for this.

You need to go.

I'll leave
when you stop using Myriad.

That's not gonna happen.

To think that I was
sincere with you yesterday...

Then I guess
you're used to being two-faced.

No!

Why is this taking so long?

It takes several minutes for Myriad

to suppress the Q-waves long enough

for J'onn to see clearly.

What is that?

A Sun-Eater.

That's impossible.

The only one in the system...

is the baby
from the Fortress of Solitude.

Supergirl?

Supergirl, are you there?

The Sun-Eater must've absorbed
her power.

Okay, well, we need to
save her. Like now.

We can use a Lexosuit from the DEO.

If we recalibrate the suit's internal

radiation to 1,000 watts per meter,

it will act like
a mini-sunlight chamber.

We'll get it
and bring it to the fortress.

- M'gann?
- J'onn...

your brother felt the Q-waves
on Mars and sent me.

My ship is armed
with hydrogen weapons

we can use to stop the Sun-Eater.

Han Solo never looked so good.

- That was a Star Wars reference.
- I know it. I know. Yeah.

Let's go save the sun.

Oh, heaven to Betsy.

The hydrogen explosive should reduce

it to a size that we can contain.

If I can detonate one inside it

and saturate it
like water with a fire.

I have faith in you, J'onn J'onzz.

J'onn?

Anyone see a Sun-Eater around here?

Supergirl!

We think we can shrink it by
detonating this explosive in its core.

Lucky this suit has
its own explosives.

Missiles hot!

Right on schedule.

Ms. Tessmacher!

That thing is much
cuter when it's smaller.

Yeah, and not destroying
the solar system.

Have you figured out what the
Morae wanted or who she works for?

She says she works
for someone called Leviathan.

J'onn, what is it?

Myriad... the psychic trail.

I know where
those missing people are.

Lex, a real hero?
How can this be true?

If you weren't so obsessed
with trying to persecute me,

you might see that on this Earth,

I've always been the hero.

All these people say so.

But I guess we're all heroes today,

since I'm assuming you and your
friends dealt with the big blackout.

You're not gonna try and
pin that on me, are you?

No, that was... Leviathan.

The same Leviathan that I told
you would be a problem months ago?

Perhaps if you listened to me
and tried to work with me,

we could stop
these dangerous organizations

before they try to blot out the sun.

So, do you know what they want,

or where their base is?

Not yet.

- But we will.
- We're going to stop them.

You murdered Margot!

One of my own,
one of Leviathan's most trusted agents.

Margot's death was unfortunate.

But she had to die,
given the breadth of our...

You don't tell me anything.

I am a god.

You are a nothing.

Do you understand?

Explain yourself.

As I said earlier...

the Supers were close
to finding your comatose souls.

So, I had to find them first.

I moved them, and then pinned
their existence on someone else.

So, I connected Margot
to Amy Sapphire

and divorced her
from you and Leviathan.

Because of what I did,

no one is suspecting
Obsidian anymore.

Maybe you were right to kill Margot,

but you made a mistake
with the disaster.

And now the Kryptonian has one
of my assassins in her custody!

I underestimated Supergirl
and her team.

The chaos of the disaster was
working until she intervened.

But now I know

You were right about
the global VR celebration.

We should implement it immediately.

Gather everyone into VR at once...

with this sparkling distraction.

But first...

we must kill Supergirl.

She will always foil the plan.

And a warning...

no mere mortal can kill her.

Many have tried and failed.

I will not fail.

Do I smell Beef Wellington?

Victory and role-playing
makes me hungry.

"Amy Sapphire was right.

Technology is the greatest evil
mankind has ever faced."

Okay, stop there.

Please don't ever image-induce
into her ever again.

I might lose my appetite.

I'm so glad we finally have a night

to spend some time alone as a couple.

A couple?

I've been trying to tell you
how I feel...

and it's not just because you
helped me escape Leviathan,

it's because of who you are.

How could I not love you?

Oh...

Ms. Tessmacher...

you sad, silly woman...

of course you love me.

What's funny is, you thought
I could love you back.

I don't understand.

We're a team.

We're meant to be together.
We're destined...

Oh, we're destined.

On another world, in another life,
we knew each other very well.

And in that life,
you said you loved me, too.

You distracted me,
you made me weaker.

But that's not happening
this time, honey.

I feel nothing for you.

I saved you because you were useful.

I needed a spy inside Leviathan.

Oh, and as for your mother...

she's still in danger, but from me.

Those cars I showed you,
the men in them

are just waiting to pull the
trigger if you ever betray me.

But I'd think twice about that.

That man you killed in the Andes

didn't murder your father.

I never bothered to find out
who knocked off your old man.

No, the man you murdered

is Supergirl's father.

Oh, that's good.

I have video of you
killing him, by the way.

Defy me, and I'll pass it on.

Believe me, you do not want to be on

the wrong side of those laser eyes.

You are worse than Leviathan.

Not worse.

Better.

Mother.

Hate to say I told you so,
but it all went according to plan.

Lena's back on my side,
Leviathan is set to kill our enemies,

and I'm set to wipe out Leviathan.

And...

I did it my way.

Ah, screw it.
