Supergirl (2015–…): Season 5, Episode 6 - Confidence Women - full transcript
While a new villain is under arrest at the DEO, Supergirl uses him to try and understand who is responsible for the recent attacks. Meanwhile, Andrea and Lena think back on their tumultuous past.
Previously on Supergirl...
Do what Lex Luthor failed to do.
Change the world.
Rip Roar murdered my best
friend, Russell Rogers.
The DEO caught Rip Roar
and they were able to ID him.
It's Russell.
I sold CatCo to Andrea.
She and I go way back,
since boarding school.
Jack Spheer and I,
we used to be close.
- Until when?
- Just before I moved to National City.
You have the ability to incept
thoughts into people's minds.
I want to study your brain,
so I can develop a technology
that can do the same thing.
Alex!
What just killed her?
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
[SCREAMING]
Thank you for coming
down here, William.
Kara said if anyone would be
able to reach Rip Roar,
it would be you.
Russell's still in there, I know it,
but he must be acting
against his will.
The man I knew could've never done
all of those terrible things.
Yes, 18 assassinations,
plus one ecological terror attack.
- [CLEARS THROAT]
- A thwarted terror attack.
Well, we know Rip Roar
is working for someone.
I'm going to find out who
and why they did this to him.
I can confirm that his biotech
is still shielding him
from the power of our Truth Seeker.
Can't we take that biotech off?
Whoever did this to him attached
incredibly sophisticated technology
to his nervous system.
If we remove it incorrectly,
it may kill him.
[ALARM BLARING]
We've been breached.
Initiate emergency protocol,
secure the facility,
Brainy, I want that power back up.
Alex, the shadow.
- [GUNSHOTS]
- [SUPERGIRL] Where'd she go?
I can't get her.
It's after Rip Roar.
Stay right here.
I don't know who or what you are.
This is my prisoner
and if you touch him,
I will light you up.
[GRUNTS]
She's gone.
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
Andrea.
What do you want?
I need your help.
I need to break in to the DEO.
What's the DEO?
Stop it.
I know you've had government contracts
with them before, that's why I'm here.
Okay.
Say we both know what the DEO is.
Why does the head of a Fortune
500 company need access?
I know who was behind the tidal
wave that almost took out
National City.
I know because I work for them.
But if I tell who
they are, they'll kill me.
And you too.
The DEO captured the agent
that started the tidal wave.
The people I work for want me
to kill him before he can talk.
Andrea, you come to my
house and ask for my help
to kill someone, are you crazy?
You know, I do know
the director of the DEO.
What's to stop me from calling
her right now and reporting you?
Because I don't want to kill him.
I want to save him.
He's important to me.
I can breach the facility.
But Supergirl is
guarding him personally
and I can't get past her.
You've worked for her before.
- Maybe you can.
- No.
Sorry.
Lena...
I'm asking as a friend.
We're not friends.
We used to be.
_
[ANDREA] Hey.
You're Lena, the new kid, right?
I'm Andrea.
My parents didn't come
for visitor day either.
Why didn't they come?
My father runs
a very successful business.
So he's, you know, busy.
Mother, on the other hand,
is in Paris.
I don't interest her nearly
as much as her friend,
the baron.
What about your mom? Let me guess.
- She's off screwing a duke?
- My mother's dead.
Oh.
Hey.
What do you say we go to
a real party tonight?
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Van Horne's is
my father's favorite drink.
It's top, top shelf.
He didn't even card us.
Why would he? We're 21.
- No, we're not.
- Lena...
The key to getting
what you want is confidence.
Act like you already have it
and no one will question us.
Come on.
Favorite movie...
One, two, three.
[BOTH] Titanic.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
I saw it eight times in the theater.
Six times for me.
My brother mocked me relentlessly.
Screw the haters,
we should all live like Rose.
Do you wanna meet your soulmate
only to watch him die tragically?
No, Rose post -Titanic,
- Rose Dawson.
- Oh.
She went out there and grabbed life,
didn't waste a single moment.
That's my dream, go everywhere,
experience everything,
all while taking my dad's
company to the next level.
- Those are lofty goals.
- That's what makes it fun.
I have a dream like that.
Lofty?
Impossible.
Well, now you have to tell me
My mother used to always
tell me this story
about the medallion of the Acrata.
It's about this girl whose village
was being ravaged by darkness,
so she went into the wild in
search of magic that could help.
What happens?
She finds the medallion of Acrata
and was bestowed great gifts
so that she alone had the strength
to bend shadow to her will.
Did your mom make it up?
She found it in an old storybook.
She was obsessed.
She'd talk about it like it was real.
She'd draw the symbol everywhere.
Is that what you were
doodling in your notebook?
She said when I got older,
when things were better,
that we would go
on a quest to find it.
Together.
It's stupid. [LAUGHS] I'm sorry.
No, it's not stupid,
sometimes these legends
are based in fact,
and if this medallion is real,
I'll help you find it.
- You will?
- Like Rose says,
"You jump, I jump."
[CHUCKLES]
[LEX] We just made first
contact with an alien race
and even apart from
the existential threat
that he poses to our entire species,
I mean, how can we measure up?
From now on, this...
is Luther Corp.
[LENA] This is insane, your
obsession with killing Superman.
We're supposed to help people.
I think Spheerical Industries
is hiring.
If I don't help you murder Superman,
you're firing me?
I am not gonna let you kill him.
[ANDREA] Papa, you almost ready?
The car's waiting.
[ANNOUNCER ON TV] The new
T-Pixel 8 will excite...
Papa, you have to get dressed,
we have Obsidian Worldwide's
new phone launch in an hour.
- The press is waiting.
- No, they're not. [CHUCKLES]
Lord Industry just announced
a new T-Pixel 8.
The chip is four times faster
than ours.
Four times? That's impossible.
We are going to lose billions.
We have to let go
of 70% of the company
by Christmas.
If my company is worthless,
my life is worthless.
[SCOFFS]
Why is your life insurance policy out?
[SIGHS]
You promised you wouldn't
do this again, Papa.
You are the best thing in my life.
I refuse to ruin you.
Go and do something
better, mi cielito.
Consider yourself fired.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]
Lena.
You're just the voice
I needed to hear right now.
We won't know how bad
things really are for us
until next week when the board decides
to either push the launch of the
phone or kill it completely.
Papa's locked himself
away in his lab till then.
I've seen him bad before
but never like this.
The way he looked yesterday,
it scared me.
Oh, how about you? How are
things going in Luther Corp?
You're not the only one
with family business problems.
Lex is completely unhinged.
His obsession with Superman
is out of control.
He'll stop at nothing to kill him
and I am very afraid that a lot of
people are going to get hurt...
or killed in the process.
- Can't you stop him?
- He pushed me out.
I mean, Lex's latest plan is to seed
the atmosphere with Kryptonite.
What is Kryptonite?
According to Lex, it's
Superman's greatest weakness.
- Can he do it?
- No, not yet.
First, he has to figure out
how to sublimate it into vapor,
but he has this mad theory
that this ancient alien element
is going to help him do that.
I mean, this element crash-landed
on Earth millions of years ago.
All I need to do to... [SIGHS]
Save humanity from Lex's madness is...
find the element first.
You already found it, didn't you?
Thanks to you.
Okay, so do you remember
your anthropology dissertation
about the Aztec village that lived
in the shadow of the volcano
but never got covered in lava
no matter how much
the volcano erupted?
And you think that's
where the alien element is?
I did an intensive
satellite scan of the area
and I found...
this.
[GASPS]
It's that symbol you used to draw.
The medallion of Acrata.
What are the odds
that my mother's story
would lead me to the
one thing that has
the properties I need
to stop my brother?
- It's crazy.
- It's fate.
All right, so that's where
the signature is strongest,
so we need to get to it.
We?
No, no, no, I can't leave right
now, my father needs me.
I know, but it's three days, tops,
I promise, and you yourself
said that the board
wasn't going to be making
a decision for another week.
Please.
My brother is in a downward spiral
and I am the only one
who can save him from himself.
But I can't do it alone.
All right? You studied this culture,
you know the area and the language.
Besides, isn't it
what you always wanted?
To go out there and grab life?
Come on.
What would Rose Dawson do?
"You jump, I jump, right?"
[GROWLING] _
[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
Maybe there's a way
around it or through it.
Wait.
"And when the world around her
turned to stone,
impenetrable by hope, the
girl looked down to the core
and was shown the winding way."
The snake, it's an arrow,
we go this way.
That's impressive.
The proverbial "X" must be
around here someplace.
[SIGHS] Look.
Aztec serpent-headed flowers.
Didn't the girl from the book
fight the head of a snake?
[RUMBLING]
No!
Andrea.
Oh, my God, are you okay?
Yeah, still in one piece. I think.
We'll make a rope
ladder and get you out.
Stay right there.
[GASPS]
Lena, wait.
[INDISTINCT VOICES WHISPERING]
- Andrea Rojas.
- [YELPS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
- Who are you?
- I am a messenger.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Serpent-headed flowers, they
have psychedelic properties
and I'm hallucinating,
that's what this is.
Oh, this is very real, I assure you.
As they are who sent me,
Leviathan.
What do they want?
Your father, Bernardo Rojas,
he's not well, is he?
How do you...
He's a brilliant man.
Things will turn around for him.
He's not as strong as
you believe him to be,
mi cielito.
He's on the brink
of ending everything,
that is why
you devote yourself to him.
What do you want from me?
Your happiness and your
service, one for the other.
- What does that mean?
- What matters now
is if you agree, your father
will live and live well.
All you have to do is take this.
[SOFTLY] No.
No, no, no, I can't.
My friend Lena, she needs this.
This is all she's ever wanted.
You want to save your father or not?
Take the medallion.
Accept your fate.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Keep it on you always.
Never speak of it or all
that you love will be lost.
And remember, there will come a day
when we will call upon you.
Be prepared.
- [LENA] Andrea.
- [GASPS]
- I'll be right there.
- [GASPING]
[PANTING]
Are you okay? I was so worried.
Yeah, I just wanna get out of here.
Okay.
This is it, Andrea, we found it.
It's the medallion.
These etchings, they match
the description in the story.
My calculations were right.
My mother was right.
But where is it? It looks like
it should be here.
Maybe someone got to it first.
No, it has to be here,
it's supposed to be here,
there should be some
kind of trace, the satellites...
Are fallible.
You could have been
picking up anything.
Okay.
Okay, we'll keep looking,
we'll figure out who
was here and when...
Lena, look, finding this
place was hard enough.
Seeing who came before or after,
it's impossible.
I was so close.
I'm so sorry.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]
Papa?
No, no, I haven't.
Lord Industries is blowing
up the market literally.
Their latest smartphone
contains a faulty chip
causing devices to explode.
But their loss
is Obsidian Worldwide's gain.
Their stock hit
an all-time high today.
Papa.
That's incredible.
- [NEWS ANCHOR] Now back to you, Rick.
- Thank you for that...
I think things are only going
to get better for us.
Ms. Luthor.
Why did your brother turn the sun red?
Superman.
Ms. Luthor won't be answering
any questions
without a lawyer present.
Jack.
I was such an idiot.
I thought I could save him with what?
- Magical thinking?
- You believed in the good in him.
That means something.
- Does it?
- Let's get out of here,
out of town for a while.
I have that conference
in London, come with me.
[PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
You were right.
I needed this.
It's nice to see you smiling again.
- Go be charming. I'll get drinks.
- Right. Okay.
Andrea.
Lena.
I had no idea you'd be here,
I didn't know that you were in London.
Wait, what's that?
I knew it.
The medallion was there,
and you're the one that took it
even though you knew
how much it meant to me.
Why?
Look, there are things I couldn't...
That I can't tell you.
You looked me in the eye
and you lied to me.
I trusted you more than
anyone in the world
and you made a fool out of me.
You know, I expect
this kind of betrayal
from the Luthors, but not you.
- Lena, please.
- There's nothing you can say.
We're done.
[SIGHS]
_
Ever since London you've been
a completely different person
you've barely talked to me
and now you're leaving Metropolis?
It's my responsibility to make up for
the stain my brother
left on the world.
To do something good.
We were going to do something good.
Together. What about our company?
You see this? This is why
I need to be in National City.
There are people doing good
there, who are trying to help.
If I stay in Metropolis,
I will always be the sister
of the egomaniacal lunatic,
but I go to National City,
I can be the Luthor
that shares her home
with a Kryptonian.
That helps her put the
world back together
instead of tearing it apart.
You know I can't leave, Lena.
I'm not asking you to.
So...
So you're choosing
to redeem the Luthor name?
Over me.
Over us.
Lena, please, look, talk to me.
You can trust me.
I can't trust anyone anymore.
[MALE REPORTER ON TV]
Going back to the studio.
And the trial of Lex Luthor
continues to shock the nation,
painting a vivid picture
of just how far
the once great name
of Luthor has fallen.
[PEOPLE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
I might be mistaken, but I'm
pretty sure they call that a drink
'cause that's what you're
supposed to do with it.
I guess I'm not in the mood.
Oh.
I usually do all my drinking
when I feel the way you look.
[LAUGHS] Like you've just lost
your last friend in the world.
Well, I'm sure you're very
busy, enjoy your drink.
Actually...
I've got nothing
but free time right now.
I've been stood up.
- Ouch.
- That's all right.
I was going to reject them anyway.
Then it all worked out.
- I guess it did.
- Hmm.
What about you?
What drove you to a day
of heavy non-drinking?
I had a big meeting and I
completely forgot about it.
It's so unlike me,
I'm usually type A, but...
But the friend thing got in the way.
Okay, how do you know that?
[LAUGHS] I didn't, I just have
a best friend too, that's all.
I'm Andrea, by the way.
Oh, I know.
I'm Russell Rogers.
You're the meeting I blew off?
[LAUGHING]
How long did you know?
Only since you mentioned
a business meeting.
I swear.
Wait, you said that you were gonna
turn down Obsidian's offer?
Well, now, this is awkward.
I'm afraid I can't accept
the position.
I'm starting my own company
focusing solely on cyber-bionics.
- Oh.
- Which is fortuitous on many levels.
But mostly because
I'd like to ask you to dinner.
Which could've gotten very dicey
if you were my employer.
- [CHUCKLES]
- So what do you say?
[FEMALE REPORTER] Breaking news
from National City.
Lena Luthor, National City's
newest predominant resident,
was rescued from
an assassination attempt today
by the Kryptonian duo of
Superman and Supergirl.
Well, if it isn't National City's
newest hotshot reporter.
- I was just reading your article.
- That's actually why I'm here,
I have to say thank you for
helping me find that fight club.
You've been in the city a month
and you've already saved my job
an embarrassing amount of times.
Well, I am sure you will return
the favor when the time comes.
On that note,
I also wanted to give you this.
Someone hacked into
the emails at L-Corp
and sent them to CatCo anonymously.
I was able to snag the data
and there are some potentially
embarrassing things in there,
but for the most part,
it's not newsworthy.
I just remember you saying
you want to make a name for
yourself outside of your family
and I would hate for
some jerk to ruin that.
I knew there'd been a breach but
I thought we caught everything.
Thank you, Kara.
You know how you could thank me?
We have this game night thing
and my sister and I dominate
and we are in desperate need
of a worthy adversary.
I'm sorry, Kara,
when I said I wanted us
to have a positive relationship,
it was because I thought
we could help each other.
But let me be clear, I meant
a business relationship.
I would hate for you
to give me these emails
out of some misplaced
sense of friendship.
I didn't come here to make friends,
so by all means,
publish the emails.
I would never do that, Lena.
But if you change your mind,
the invite always stands.
Every Friday night.
How can a vegan restaurant
not identify itself?
- It's cruel.
- I know.
Our six-month anniversary ruined.
You know, I vote for a do-over.
Barbecue?
Stop talking so sexy.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
- See you tonight?
- Yes.
- Ah.
- [CHUCKLES]
He's very handsome.
Sorry, I don't have any cash on me.
I don't need your money,
just what you promised.
Your service.
You knew there would be a time
when Leviathan would call on you.
What do you want from me?
Go to this location,
find the man on this card
and kill him.
[GASPS]
- I'm not a killer.
- You are what we say you are.
You weren't successful
and then we said you were.
Your father was suicidal
and now he's not.
Did you really think all of
this didn't come with a price?
I won't do it.
You refuse us, but...
a day from now your father will
be accused of insider trading,
stocks will tumble,
the company will be decimated.
One night, while awaiting trial,
your father will put on
his striped pajamas,
he will take the elevator to the roof
and when he steps up on the ledge,
his last words will be,
"I failed you, mi cielito."
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Listen to me very carefully.
Take the medallion,
tap it three times,
you'll know what to do.
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
Governor Harper?
Governor Harper!
Last month Cat Grant joined
the Marsden Administration
and since her
appointment, she's made a
big impact. Today in
technology news...
Lena.
- Kara.
- Hi.
- [LAUGHS]
- Hi, it's really good to see you.
- Are you waiting for someone?
- Not today,
I have a hot date
with some spreadsheets.
Oh.
I'm actually meeting
my sister here, she loves it.
She makes us order
every appetizer on the menu.
[LAUGHS]
Actually, I'm lying, I'm the one
that orders all the appetizers.
- That sounds like fun.
- Yeah.
Look, I heard you when you said
you didn't wanna connect with anyone
but I've been the new girl in town
and I put my guards up too.
But I was miserable.
And if I hadn't let someone in,
my sister,
actually...
I think I would've drowned in it.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]
Oh.
And...
I guess my sister has to work.
I... You do, too,
I'm sorry, I'll leave you alone.
Kara.
Don't be ridiculous, you can't
eat all those apps on your own.
Why don't you join me.
Really?
Okay, but I'm warning you,
people have been underestimating
how much I can eat for years.
Oh, game on.
- You all right?
- Russ.
Hey, you're home early.
[SIGHS]
What's going on?
Something's been off
with you for weeks.
I'm worried you're into something bad.
Something dangerous.
It's just, um...
A private family thing.
Look, I'm exhausted,
I'm gonna go take a shower.
[SHOWER RUNNING]
[GASPING]
[RUSSELL GROANS]
What are you doing?
No, stop! [GASPING]
You know Leviathan
required complete discretion.
You were careless, he got too close.
Our secrets are more
important than any life.
No, no, no, he's a good person.
This isn't his fault, please.
Finish it, make it look like
a home invasion.
No, wait! [GASPS]
He can help you.
This is Russell Rogers,
he's working on medical advancements.
He has a prototype
that can bring soldiers back
from the brink of death and then some.
He can be very useful to you.
[EKG BEEPING]
It's okay.
[SOBBING]
[MECHANICAL WHIRRING]
Your friends... _
have been lying to you from the start.
Every last one.
[MALE REPORTER]
...the last five years. _
And we have an update
on the Lex Luthor story.
Lex Luthor and his master plan
to manipulate the Kaznians.
The Girl of Steel saves the day again.
- Supergirl saved...
- Obsidian Worldwide announced this week
that they will be opening
a new branch to be spearheaded
by CEO Bernardo Rojas'
daughter Andrea Rojas.
[MALE REPORTER] Obsidian's entrance
into the North American market
marks a turning point for the company,
which has thus far avoided
the American market.
CEO Bernando Rojas,
once a gallant trailblazer...
I never needed them.
Any of them.
But that doesn't mean
they can't be useful.
I was glad to get
a call from you, Lena. _
I've missed you.
It's been a long time.
I thought I'd never
hear from you again.
Well, I was thinking...
that you and I have too
much to offer each other
to let ancient history get in the
way of a potential partnership.
Okay.
I'm listening.
Well, I'm sure you've heard
of Lex's latest misdeeds.
He's left me with
quite a mess to clean up.
Financially.
So I'm selling CatCo.
- That's a shame.
- I'm glad you think so.
Because I believe I've found the
perfect person to take it over.
You.
I already run a tech company.
Tech gets you money, but media
gets you control of the markets.
And CatCo would be the
perfect advertising platform
for Obsidian.
That's an interesting thought,
I've honestly never considered it.
You should.
And I know you've been
looking for a place
for Obsidian North's new headquarters.
I think National City
could be a good fit.
It would be nice to be
in the same city again.
Just like old times.
Why don't we discuss the details?
Every time I look at you, _
I'm reminded of all
the horrible things I've done.
Honey, every time I look at you,
all I remember is pain.
Lena, for so long I wanted
to tell you the truth, but...
I was scared.
That medallion was the only thing
that could've stopped my brother
- and you knew that.
- Everything I did,
every decision was to
save my father's life.
My brother was a homicidal maniac.
A lot of innocent people are dead
because of him, because of you.
I am well aware of how much
blood there is on my hands.
And I'm so sorry.
Because you say you're sorry,
it doesn't make everything better.
Okay? How am I supposed
to believe you now?
Because you were right all along.
It was magical.
Lena.
"And she had the strength
to bend shadow to her will."
It wasn't a metaphor
about overcoming darkness,
it was literal.
It came with the ability
to move through shadows.
And you've had
this ability the whole time?
It's not a gift, it's a curse.
I never wanted to betray you.
But my father, he was gonna die...
so I did what I had to do.
But it cost me the love of
my life and my best friend.
[ANDREA SIGHS]
Taking this from you was
the biggest mistake of my life.
I know I've done terrible things.
But this is my chance
to do something good.
Please, you have to believe me.
I believe you.
I'm tired of people
hurting each other.
Doing harm.
So you'll help me?
"You jump, I jump, right?"
[CHUCKLES]
- Did Brainy say anything?
- Not yet.
But there is an old piece
of Cadmus tech in the vaults
that could help us remove his biotech
and force an answer out of him.
So I'll go get it.
[SUPERGIRL] William told me about you,
well, he told me about Russell,
how good a friend he was,
how devastating it was to lose him.
You know,
William sacrificed everything,
dedicated himself to finding out
what happened to Russell.
So I guess you must've
been pretty special.
The person William knew is gone.
I don't agree.
I think you're working for someone
and they're forcing you
to do these things.
I know you feel you've gone too far
to ever be Russell again
but you're wrong.
It is never too late to
try to make things right.
Or at least better.
Who did this to you?
I can keep you safe.
They're called Leviathan.
Good.
Now here's how this will go.
I'll handle Supergirl.
I have to go, um...
Thank you.
Lena. Lena?
- Lena. Lena.
- Kara.
Oh, thank God you're here.
It was horrible,
it was here one minute
and gone the next,
she's like a shadow.
[LENA] I'll jam all incoming signals.
I've recently developed a device
that can incept a single thought
into the surrounding area,
"Do no harm."
Plant it at the DEO.
It will disable all agents
that get in your way.
I'll control it from here
and then the DEO is yours.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
J'onn, is everything okay?
I felt a psychic attack at the DEO.
It felt like my brother.
That's impossible.
There must be something else.
I just have a bad feeling.
Well, we still have
the psychic inhibitor buds.
- I'll be careful.
- Okay, see you soon.
Supergirl, I think we have
a bit of a situation here.
Supergirl, do you copy?
Director Danvers.
Agent Dox, someone incepted the DEO,
we're the only two unaffected.
That is an erroneous assumption.
[GRUNTS]
We must do no harm.
Sorry, Brainy.
I knew I felt something.
Where is Supergirl?
Oh, hell no.
Make sure the shadow
doesn't get to Rip Roar.
Right.
[GRUNTS]
[GRUNTS]
Supergirl!
Alex is in trouble, stay here.
No, no.
[SUPERGIRL] If you think
you can hurt my friends,
to get me out of the way,
you got another thing coming.
Please don't fight.
I want to help you.
[GASPS]
No!
Lena, I honestly don't know
how I can ever repay you.
You can start by
giving me the medallion.
I can't.
You'd incept me to give you this.
Much worse.
Russell, pick up the scalpel.
Now hold it to your carotid artery.
And press. Slowly.
Please, Lena, don't do this.
Then give me the medallion.
This is what you wanted
this whole time.
I helped you save Russell,
now I want what I deserve.
I was desperate, my father was weak,
he was going to die. Everything I did,
I did for love.
That's what hurt the most.
I cared about you more than
anyone else in the world
and I never would've betrayed you.
I told you this thing is a curse.
Our friendship was the curse.
Russell, put the scalpel down.
- [EXHALES]
- Now go, both of you.
Malefic must've been
working with the assassin.
How else could he have
incepted everyone?
Believe me, I want to know
who is responsible,
but Malefic did not do this.
So we're back to square one.
We're not,
I got something from Rip Roar.
A name.
Leviathan.
We'll start gathering Intel
immediately.
Okay, but I have to break
some bad news first.
- [KARA] Russell got away.
- [SIGHS]
The same operative
that attacked yesterday
came again, they worked
as a team and now he's gone.
I'm so sorry.
I was wrong about him all along.
No, I don't think you were.
Supergirl told us he's been
working against his will.
I don't think he ever
meant to betray you.
[ANDREA] I'm sorry,
if it weren't for me,
they never would've come for you.
You saved my life.
Even before that,
you made it worth living.
[GUNSHOT]
No. Russ, no, no, Russ.
No, no, no!
Somebody help, please.
Russ! Please, somebody help!
You can't escape us,
nor the powers we bestowed upon you.
I don't even have
the medallion anymore.
What do you want?
The powers never came
from the medallion.
It activated them.
But they came from the
darkness within you.
And that is something
you can never escape.
No...
[SOBBING] No.
Not so fast, Lena, I'm gonna get you.
I got you.
[LAUGHING]
[BOTH LAUGHING]
Oh, no, no. [LAUGHS]
I found it, Mother.
End simulation.
Ms. Luthor, preliminary tests
confirm any properties
the medallion may have had are gone.
Doesn't matter, can you
translate these markings?
Now access the memories
of Eve Tessmacher
and tell me everything
she knows about Leviathan.
Do what Lex Luthor failed to do.
Change the world.
Rip Roar murdered my best
friend, Russell Rogers.
The DEO caught Rip Roar
and they were able to ID him.
It's Russell.
I sold CatCo to Andrea.
She and I go way back,
since boarding school.
Jack Spheer and I,
we used to be close.
- Until when?
- Just before I moved to National City.
You have the ability to incept
thoughts into people's minds.
I want to study your brain,
so I can develop a technology
that can do the same thing.
Alex!
What just killed her?
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
[SCREAMING]
Thank you for coming
down here, William.
Kara said if anyone would be
able to reach Rip Roar,
it would be you.
Russell's still in there, I know it,
but he must be acting
against his will.
The man I knew could've never done
all of those terrible things.
Yes, 18 assassinations,
plus one ecological terror attack.
- [CLEARS THROAT]
- A thwarted terror attack.
Well, we know Rip Roar
is working for someone.
I'm going to find out who
and why they did this to him.
I can confirm that his biotech
is still shielding him
from the power of our Truth Seeker.
Can't we take that biotech off?
Whoever did this to him attached
incredibly sophisticated technology
to his nervous system.
If we remove it incorrectly,
it may kill him.
[ALARM BLARING]
We've been breached.
Initiate emergency protocol,
secure the facility,
Brainy, I want that power back up.
Alex, the shadow.
- [GUNSHOTS]
- [SUPERGIRL] Where'd she go?
I can't get her.
It's after Rip Roar.
Stay right here.
I don't know who or what you are.
This is my prisoner
and if you touch him,
I will light you up.
[GRUNTS]
She's gone.
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
Andrea.
What do you want?
I need your help.
I need to break in to the DEO.
What's the DEO?
Stop it.
I know you've had government contracts
with them before, that's why I'm here.
Okay.
Say we both know what the DEO is.
Why does the head of a Fortune
500 company need access?
I know who was behind the tidal
wave that almost took out
National City.
I know because I work for them.
But if I tell who
they are, they'll kill me.
And you too.
The DEO captured the agent
that started the tidal wave.
The people I work for want me
to kill him before he can talk.
Andrea, you come to my
house and ask for my help
to kill someone, are you crazy?
You know, I do know
the director of the DEO.
What's to stop me from calling
her right now and reporting you?
Because I don't want to kill him.
I want to save him.
He's important to me.
I can breach the facility.
But Supergirl is
guarding him personally
and I can't get past her.
You've worked for her before.
- Maybe you can.
- No.
Sorry.
Lena...
I'm asking as a friend.
We're not friends.
We used to be.
_
[ANDREA] Hey.
You're Lena, the new kid, right?
I'm Andrea.
My parents didn't come
for visitor day either.
Why didn't they come?
My father runs
a very successful business.
So he's, you know, busy.
Mother, on the other hand,
is in Paris.
I don't interest her nearly
as much as her friend,
the baron.
What about your mom? Let me guess.
- She's off screwing a duke?
- My mother's dead.
Oh.
Hey.
What do you say we go to
a real party tonight?
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Van Horne's is
my father's favorite drink.
It's top, top shelf.
He didn't even card us.
Why would he? We're 21.
- No, we're not.
- Lena...
The key to getting
what you want is confidence.
Act like you already have it
and no one will question us.
Come on.
Favorite movie...
One, two, three.
[BOTH] Titanic.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
I saw it eight times in the theater.
Six times for me.
My brother mocked me relentlessly.
Screw the haters,
we should all live like Rose.
Do you wanna meet your soulmate
only to watch him die tragically?
No, Rose post -Titanic,
- Rose Dawson.
- Oh.
She went out there and grabbed life,
didn't waste a single moment.
That's my dream, go everywhere,
experience everything,
all while taking my dad's
company to the next level.
- Those are lofty goals.
- That's what makes it fun.
I have a dream like that.
Lofty?
Impossible.
Well, now you have to tell me
My mother used to always
tell me this story
about the medallion of the Acrata.
It's about this girl whose village
was being ravaged by darkness,
so she went into the wild in
search of magic that could help.
What happens?
She finds the medallion of Acrata
and was bestowed great gifts
so that she alone had the strength
to bend shadow to her will.
Did your mom make it up?
She found it in an old storybook.
She was obsessed.
She'd talk about it like it was real.
She'd draw the symbol everywhere.
Is that what you were
doodling in your notebook?
She said when I got older,
when things were better,
that we would go
on a quest to find it.
Together.
It's stupid. [LAUGHS] I'm sorry.
No, it's not stupid,
sometimes these legends
are based in fact,
and if this medallion is real,
I'll help you find it.
- You will?
- Like Rose says,
"You jump, I jump."
[CHUCKLES]
[LEX] We just made first
contact with an alien race
and even apart from
the existential threat
that he poses to our entire species,
I mean, how can we measure up?
From now on, this...
is Luther Corp.
[LENA] This is insane, your
obsession with killing Superman.
We're supposed to help people.
I think Spheerical Industries
is hiring.
If I don't help you murder Superman,
you're firing me?
I am not gonna let you kill him.
[ANDREA] Papa, you almost ready?
The car's waiting.
[ANNOUNCER ON TV] The new
T-Pixel 8 will excite...
Papa, you have to get dressed,
we have Obsidian Worldwide's
new phone launch in an hour.
- The press is waiting.
- No, they're not. [CHUCKLES]
Lord Industry just announced
a new T-Pixel 8.
The chip is four times faster
than ours.
Four times? That's impossible.
We are going to lose billions.
We have to let go
of 70% of the company
by Christmas.
If my company is worthless,
my life is worthless.
[SCOFFS]
Why is your life insurance policy out?
[SIGHS]
You promised you wouldn't
do this again, Papa.
You are the best thing in my life.
I refuse to ruin you.
Go and do something
better, mi cielito.
Consider yourself fired.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]
Lena.
You're just the voice
I needed to hear right now.
We won't know how bad
things really are for us
until next week when the board decides
to either push the launch of the
phone or kill it completely.
Papa's locked himself
away in his lab till then.
I've seen him bad before
but never like this.
The way he looked yesterday,
it scared me.
Oh, how about you? How are
things going in Luther Corp?
You're not the only one
with family business problems.
Lex is completely unhinged.
His obsession with Superman
is out of control.
He'll stop at nothing to kill him
and I am very afraid that a lot of
people are going to get hurt...
or killed in the process.
- Can't you stop him?
- He pushed me out.
I mean, Lex's latest plan is to seed
the atmosphere with Kryptonite.
What is Kryptonite?
According to Lex, it's
Superman's greatest weakness.
- Can he do it?
- No, not yet.
First, he has to figure out
how to sublimate it into vapor,
but he has this mad theory
that this ancient alien element
is going to help him do that.
I mean, this element crash-landed
on Earth millions of years ago.
All I need to do to... [SIGHS]
Save humanity from Lex's madness is...
find the element first.
You already found it, didn't you?
Thanks to you.
Okay, so do you remember
your anthropology dissertation
about the Aztec village that lived
in the shadow of the volcano
but never got covered in lava
no matter how much
the volcano erupted?
And you think that's
where the alien element is?
I did an intensive
satellite scan of the area
and I found...
this.
[GASPS]
It's that symbol you used to draw.
The medallion of Acrata.
What are the odds
that my mother's story
would lead me to the
one thing that has
the properties I need
to stop my brother?
- It's crazy.
- It's fate.
All right, so that's where
the signature is strongest,
so we need to get to it.
We?
No, no, no, I can't leave right
now, my father needs me.
I know, but it's three days, tops,
I promise, and you yourself
said that the board
wasn't going to be making
a decision for another week.
Please.
My brother is in a downward spiral
and I am the only one
who can save him from himself.
But I can't do it alone.
All right? You studied this culture,
you know the area and the language.
Besides, isn't it
what you always wanted?
To go out there and grab life?
Come on.
What would Rose Dawson do?
"You jump, I jump, right?"
[GROWLING] _
[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
Maybe there's a way
around it or through it.
Wait.
"And when the world around her
turned to stone,
impenetrable by hope, the
girl looked down to the core
and was shown the winding way."
The snake, it's an arrow,
we go this way.
That's impressive.
The proverbial "X" must be
around here someplace.
[SIGHS] Look.
Aztec serpent-headed flowers.
Didn't the girl from the book
fight the head of a snake?
[RUMBLING]
No!
Andrea.
Oh, my God, are you okay?
Yeah, still in one piece. I think.
We'll make a rope
ladder and get you out.
Stay right there.
[GASPS]
Lena, wait.
[INDISTINCT VOICES WHISPERING]
- Andrea Rojas.
- [YELPS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
- Who are you?
- I am a messenger.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Serpent-headed flowers, they
have psychedelic properties
and I'm hallucinating,
that's what this is.
Oh, this is very real, I assure you.
As they are who sent me,
Leviathan.
What do they want?
Your father, Bernardo Rojas,
he's not well, is he?
How do you...
He's a brilliant man.
Things will turn around for him.
He's not as strong as
you believe him to be,
mi cielito.
He's on the brink
of ending everything,
that is why
you devote yourself to him.
What do you want from me?
Your happiness and your
service, one for the other.
- What does that mean?
- What matters now
is if you agree, your father
will live and live well.
All you have to do is take this.
[SOFTLY] No.
No, no, no, I can't.
My friend Lena, she needs this.
This is all she's ever wanted.
You want to save your father or not?
Take the medallion.
Accept your fate.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Keep it on you always.
Never speak of it or all
that you love will be lost.
And remember, there will come a day
when we will call upon you.
Be prepared.
- [LENA] Andrea.
- [GASPS]
- I'll be right there.
- [GASPING]
[PANTING]
Are you okay? I was so worried.
Yeah, I just wanna get out of here.
Okay.
This is it, Andrea, we found it.
It's the medallion.
These etchings, they match
the description in the story.
My calculations were right.
My mother was right.
But where is it? It looks like
it should be here.
Maybe someone got to it first.
No, it has to be here,
it's supposed to be here,
there should be some
kind of trace, the satellites...
Are fallible.
You could have been
picking up anything.
Okay.
Okay, we'll keep looking,
we'll figure out who
was here and when...
Lena, look, finding this
place was hard enough.
Seeing who came before or after,
it's impossible.
I was so close.
I'm so sorry.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]
Papa?
No, no, I haven't.
Lord Industries is blowing
up the market literally.
Their latest smartphone
contains a faulty chip
causing devices to explode.
But their loss
is Obsidian Worldwide's gain.
Their stock hit
an all-time high today.
Papa.
That's incredible.
- [NEWS ANCHOR] Now back to you, Rick.
- Thank you for that...
I think things are only going
to get better for us.
Ms. Luthor.
Why did your brother turn the sun red?
Superman.
Ms. Luthor won't be answering
any questions
without a lawyer present.
Jack.
I was such an idiot.
I thought I could save him with what?
- Magical thinking?
- You believed in the good in him.
That means something.
- Does it?
- Let's get out of here,
out of town for a while.
I have that conference
in London, come with me.
[PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
You were right.
I needed this.
It's nice to see you smiling again.
- Go be charming. I'll get drinks.
- Right. Okay.
Andrea.
Lena.
I had no idea you'd be here,
I didn't know that you were in London.
Wait, what's that?
I knew it.
The medallion was there,
and you're the one that took it
even though you knew
how much it meant to me.
Why?
Look, there are things I couldn't...
That I can't tell you.
You looked me in the eye
and you lied to me.
I trusted you more than
anyone in the world
and you made a fool out of me.
You know, I expect
this kind of betrayal
from the Luthors, but not you.
- Lena, please.
- There's nothing you can say.
We're done.
[SIGHS]
_
Ever since London you've been
a completely different person
you've barely talked to me
and now you're leaving Metropolis?
It's my responsibility to make up for
the stain my brother
left on the world.
To do something good.
We were going to do something good.
Together. What about our company?
You see this? This is why
I need to be in National City.
There are people doing good
there, who are trying to help.
If I stay in Metropolis,
I will always be the sister
of the egomaniacal lunatic,
but I go to National City,
I can be the Luthor
that shares her home
with a Kryptonian.
That helps her put the
world back together
instead of tearing it apart.
You know I can't leave, Lena.
I'm not asking you to.
So...
So you're choosing
to redeem the Luthor name?
Over me.
Over us.
Lena, please, look, talk to me.
You can trust me.
I can't trust anyone anymore.
[MALE REPORTER ON TV]
Going back to the studio.
And the trial of Lex Luthor
continues to shock the nation,
painting a vivid picture
of just how far
the once great name
of Luthor has fallen.
[PEOPLE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
I might be mistaken, but I'm
pretty sure they call that a drink
'cause that's what you're
supposed to do with it.
I guess I'm not in the mood.
Oh.
I usually do all my drinking
when I feel the way you look.
[LAUGHS] Like you've just lost
your last friend in the world.
Well, I'm sure you're very
busy, enjoy your drink.
Actually...
I've got nothing
but free time right now.
I've been stood up.
- Ouch.
- That's all right.
I was going to reject them anyway.
Then it all worked out.
- I guess it did.
- Hmm.
What about you?
What drove you to a day
of heavy non-drinking?
I had a big meeting and I
completely forgot about it.
It's so unlike me,
I'm usually type A, but...
But the friend thing got in the way.
Okay, how do you know that?
[LAUGHS] I didn't, I just have
a best friend too, that's all.
I'm Andrea, by the way.
Oh, I know.
I'm Russell Rogers.
You're the meeting I blew off?
[LAUGHING]
How long did you know?
Only since you mentioned
a business meeting.
I swear.
Wait, you said that you were gonna
turn down Obsidian's offer?
Well, now, this is awkward.
I'm afraid I can't accept
the position.
I'm starting my own company
focusing solely on cyber-bionics.
- Oh.
- Which is fortuitous on many levels.
But mostly because
I'd like to ask you to dinner.
Which could've gotten very dicey
if you were my employer.
- [CHUCKLES]
- So what do you say?
[FEMALE REPORTER] Breaking news
from National City.
Lena Luthor, National City's
newest predominant resident,
was rescued from
an assassination attempt today
by the Kryptonian duo of
Superman and Supergirl.
Well, if it isn't National City's
newest hotshot reporter.
- I was just reading your article.
- That's actually why I'm here,
I have to say thank you for
helping me find that fight club.
You've been in the city a month
and you've already saved my job
an embarrassing amount of times.
Well, I am sure you will return
the favor when the time comes.
On that note,
I also wanted to give you this.
Someone hacked into
the emails at L-Corp
and sent them to CatCo anonymously.
I was able to snag the data
and there are some potentially
embarrassing things in there,
but for the most part,
it's not newsworthy.
I just remember you saying
you want to make a name for
yourself outside of your family
and I would hate for
some jerk to ruin that.
I knew there'd been a breach but
I thought we caught everything.
Thank you, Kara.
You know how you could thank me?
We have this game night thing
and my sister and I dominate
and we are in desperate need
of a worthy adversary.
I'm sorry, Kara,
when I said I wanted us
to have a positive relationship,
it was because I thought
we could help each other.
But let me be clear, I meant
a business relationship.
I would hate for you
to give me these emails
out of some misplaced
sense of friendship.
I didn't come here to make friends,
so by all means,
publish the emails.
I would never do that, Lena.
But if you change your mind,
the invite always stands.
Every Friday night.
How can a vegan restaurant
not identify itself?
- It's cruel.
- I know.
Our six-month anniversary ruined.
You know, I vote for a do-over.
Barbecue?
Stop talking so sexy.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
- See you tonight?
- Yes.
- Ah.
- [CHUCKLES]
He's very handsome.
Sorry, I don't have any cash on me.
I don't need your money,
just what you promised.
Your service.
You knew there would be a time
when Leviathan would call on you.
What do you want from me?
Go to this location,
find the man on this card
and kill him.
[GASPS]
- I'm not a killer.
- You are what we say you are.
You weren't successful
and then we said you were.
Your father was suicidal
and now he's not.
Did you really think all of
this didn't come with a price?
I won't do it.
You refuse us, but...
a day from now your father will
be accused of insider trading,
stocks will tumble,
the company will be decimated.
One night, while awaiting trial,
your father will put on
his striped pajamas,
he will take the elevator to the roof
and when he steps up on the ledge,
his last words will be,
"I failed you, mi cielito."
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Listen to me very carefully.
Take the medallion,
tap it three times,
you'll know what to do.

- Are you waiting for someone?
- Not today,
I have a hot date
with some spreadsheets.
Oh.
I'm actually meeting
my sister here, she loves it.
She makes us order
every appetizer on the menu.
[LAUGHS]
Actually, I'm lying, I'm the one
that orders all the appetizers.
- That sounds like fun.
- Yeah.
Look, I heard you when you said
you didn't wanna connect with anyone
but I've been the new girl in town
and I put my guards up too.
But I was miserable.
And if I hadn't let someone in,
my sister,
actually...
I think I would've drowned in it.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]
Oh.
And...
I guess my sister has to work.
I... You do, too,
I'm sorry, I'll leave you alone.
Kara.
Don't be ridiculous, you can't
eat all those apps on your own.
Why don't you join me.
Really?
Okay, but I'm warning you,
people have been underestimating
how much I can eat for years.
Oh, game on.
- You all right?
- Russ.
Hey, you're home early.
[SIGHS]
What's going on?
Something's been off
with you for weeks.
I'm worried you're into something bad.

I'm gonna go take a shower.

This isn't his fault, please.
Finish it, make it look like
a home invasion.
No, wait! [GASPS]

And we have an update
on the Lex Luthor story.
Lex Luthor and his master plan
to manipulate the Kaznians.
The Girl of Steel saves the day again.
- Supergirl saved...
- Obsidian Worldwide announced this week
that they will be opening
a new branch to be spearheaded
by CEO Bernardo Rojas'
daughter Andrea Rojas.
[MALE REPORTER] Obsidian's entrance
into the North American market
marks a turning point for the company,
which has thus far avoided
the American market.
CEO Bernando Rojas,
once a gallant trailblazer...
I never needed them.
Any of them.
But that doesn't mean
they can't be useful.
I was glad to get
a call from you, Lena. _
I've missed you.
It's been a long time.
I thought I'd never
hear from you again.
Well, I was thinking...
that you and I have too
much to offer each other
to let ancient history get in the
way of a potential partnership.
Okay.
I'm listening.
Well, I'm sure you've heard
of Lex's latest misdeeds.
He's left me with
quite a mess to clean up.
Financially.
So I'm selling CatCo.
- That's a shame.
- I'm glad you think so.
Because I believe I've found the
perfect person to take it over.
You.
I already run a tech company.
Tech gets you money, but media
gets you control of the markets.
And CatCo would be the
perfect advertising platform
for Obsidian.
That's an interesting thought,
I've honestly never considered it.
You should.
And I know you've been
looking for a place
for Obsidian North's new headquarters.
I think National City
could be a good fit.
It would be nice to be
in the same city again.
Just like old times.
Why don't we discuss the details?
Every time I look at you, _
I'm reminded of all
the horrible things I've done.
Honey, every time I look at you,
all I remember is pain.
Lena, for so long I wanted
to tell you the truth, but...
I was scared.
That medallion was the only thing
that could've stopped my brother
- and you knew that.
- Everything I did,
every decision was to
save my father's life.
My brother was a homicidal maniac.
A lot of innocent people are dead
because of him, because of you.
I am well aware of how much
blood there is on my hands.
And I'm so sorry.
Because you say you're sorry,
it doesn't make everything better.
Okay? How am I supposed
to believe you now?
Because you were right all along.
It was magical.
Lena.
"And she had the strength
to bend shadow to her will."
It wasn't a metaphor
about overcoming darkness,
it was literal.
It came with the ability
to move through shadows.
And you've had
this ability the whole time?
It's not a gift, it's a curse.
I never wanted to betray you.
But my father, he was gonna die...
so I did what I had to do.
But it cost me the love of
my life and my best friend.
[ANDREA SIGHS]
Taking this from you was
the biggest mistake of my life.
I know I've done terrible things.
But this is my chance
to do something good.
Please, you have to believe me.
I believe you.
I'm tired of people
hurting each other.
Doing harm.
So you'll help me?
"You jump, I jump, right?"
[CHUCKLES]
- Did Brainy say anything?
- Not yet.
But there is an old piece
of Cadmus tech in the vaults
that could help us remove his biotech
and force an answer out of him.
So I'll go get it.
[SUPERGIRL] William told me about you,
well, he told me about Russell,
how good a friend he was,
how devastating it was to lose him.
You know,
William sacrificed everything,
dedicated himself to finding out
what happened to Russell.
So I guess you must've
been pretty special.
The person William knew is gone.
I don't agree.
I think you're working for someone
and they're forcing you
to do these things.
I know you feel you've gone too far
to ever be Russell again
but you're wrong.
It is never too late to
try to make things right.
Or at least better.
Who did this to you?
I can keep you safe.
They're called Leviathan.
Good.
Now here's how this will go.
I'll handle Supergirl.
I have to go, um...
Thank you.
Lena. Lena?
- Lena. Lena.
- Kara.
Oh, thank God you're here.
It was horrible,
it was here one minute
and gone the next,
she's like a shadow.
[LENA] I'll jam all incoming signals.
I've recently developed a device
that can incept a single thought
into the surrounding area,
"Do no harm."
Plant it at the DEO.
It will disable all agents
that get in your way.
I'll control it from here
and then the DEO is yours.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
J'onn, is everything okay?
I felt a psychic attack at the DEO.
It felt like my brother.
That's impossible.
There must be something else.
I just have a bad feeling.
Well, we still have
the psychic inhibitor buds.
- I'll be careful.
- Okay, see you soon.
Supergirl, I think we have
a bit of a situation here.
Supergirl, do you copy?
Director Danvers.
Agent Dox, someone incepted the DEO,
we're the only two unaffected.
That is an erroneous assumption.
[GRUNTS]
We must do no harm.
Sorry, Brainy.
I knew I felt something.
Where is Supergirl?
Oh, hell no.
Make sure the shadow
doesn't get to Rip Roar.
Right.
[GRUNTS]
[GRUNTS]
Supergirl!
Alex is in trouble, stay here.
No, no.
[SUPERGIRL] If you think
you can hurt my friends,
to get me out of the way,
you got another thing coming.
Please don't fight.
I want to help you.
[GASPS]
No!
Lena, I honestly don't know
how I can ever repay you.
You can start by
giving me the medallion.
I can't.
You'd incept me to give you this.
Much worse.
Russell, pick up the scalpel.
Now hold it to your carotid artery.
And press. Slowly.
Please, Lena, don't do this.
Then give me the medallion.
This is what you wanted
this whole time.
I helped you save Russell,
now I want what I deserve.
I was desperate, my father was weak,
he was going to die. Everything I did,
I did for love.
That's what hurt the most.
I cared about you more than
anyone else in the world
and I never would've betrayed you.
I told you this thing is a curse.
Our friendship was the curse.
Russell, put the scalpel down.
- [EXHALES]
- Now go, both of you.
Malefic must've been
working with the assassin.
How else could he have
incepted everyone?
Believe me, I want to know
who is responsible,
but Malefic did not do this.
So we're back to square one.
We're not,
I got something from Rip Roar.
A name.
Leviathan.
We'll start gathering Intel
immediately.
Okay, but I have to break
some bad news first.
- [KARA] Russell got away.
- [SIGHS]
The same operative
that attacked yesterday
came again, they worked
as a team and now he's gone.
I'm so sorry.
I was wrong about him all along.
No, I don't think you were.
Supergirl told us he's been
working against his will.
I don't think he ever
meant to betray you.
[ANDREA] I'm sorry,
if it weren't for me,
they never would've come for you.
You saved my life.
Even before that,
you made it worth living.
[GUNSHOT]
No. Russ, no, no, Russ.
No, no, no!
Somebody help, please.
Russ! Please, somebody help!
You can't escape us,
nor the powers we bestowed upon you.
I don't even have
the medallion anymore.
What do you want?
The powers never came
from the medallion.
It activated them.
But they came from the
darkness within you.
And that is something
you can never escape.
No...
[SOBBING] No.
Not so fast, Lena, I'm gonna get you.
I got you.
[LAUGHING]
[BOTH LAUGHING]
Oh, no, no. [LAUGHS]
I found it, Mother.
End simulation.
Ms. Luthor, preliminary tests
confirm any properties
the medallion may have had are gone.
Doesn't matter, can you
translate these markings?
Now access the memories
of Eve Tessmacher
and tell me everything
she knows about Leviathan.
