Supergirl (2015–…): Season 5, Episode 9 - Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part One - full transcript

In the beginning, there was only one.

A single black infinitude.

Then the infinitude found release,

and, finally, the darkness
broke, filling it with life...

With the multi-verse.

Every existence multiplied by possibility.

And spread out before space
and time in infinite measure.

Civilizations rose and fell.

And rose again across
reality's grasping expanse.

Life. A precious gift persevering
in the face of every obstacle,

until, finally, the age of heroes was born.



Chaos. The constant enemy of life

kept at bay by champions from
across the multi-verse...

...joining forces to fight
on behalf of all creation.

They found each other just in time,

because now, the entire multi-verse
is about to come under attack.

BATMAN CAPTURES JOKER

There is a malevolent force at work,

one driven by a singular goal.

I hope you're watching, big guy.

EARTH-9
SAN FRANCISCO

The destruction of all there is.

EARTH-X

Oh, no.

I have planned,



there are those who say I have schemed,

EARTH-66
GOTHAM CITY

but the time for preparation has passed.

The Crisis is now upon us all.

Holy crimson skies of death!

EARTH-38
NATIONAL CITY

The end of the world is
licking at our heels!

Soon, thou shall be not but dust,

twisting and writhing in the dead of space!

Not even Supergirl
will save you from...

Guess Supergirl was able to save you.

Now, go! Run!

Hey, Spike! Remember me?

Ilana's worried about you.

She knows you're afraid of something,

but she just wants you to come home.

Come here.

What's got you so spooked, buddy?

PREPARE TO MEET THY DOOM
THE END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH

Every pet in National City is
having a nervous breakdown.

This feels bigger than Leviathan.

The USGS didn't register an early warning,

so it took everyone
completely by surprise.

She does mean everyone
because this earthquake

is quite, literally, worldwide.

But the seismic activity wasn't
coming from within the planet,

it's coming from without.

- That's...
- Extra-normal.

I was gonna say "impossible," but okay.

Yes, yes, a fair descriptor.
As would be...

"unfeasible, unthinkable,
absurd, outlandish."

But however you choose
to describe this event,

one thing is absolutely certain.

- We have...
- A major crisis on our hands.

The Monitor freed Mal? I didn't
know he was of this universe.

Yes, I thought the Monitor was a
Flash and Green Arrow's problem.

He's of every universe
and everyone's problem.

Last year, he tested Kara
and Earth-1's heroes

with Dr. Deegan and the Book of Destiny.

This year, he's testing me to
make sure I'm ready for this.

And what exactly is this?

- Another reality wave?
- Not exactly.

Whatever is it, it is hurtling through
space at an impossible speed.

I calculate it will reach the edge of
the universe in exactly 5.3 hours,

at which point, it will boomerang back.

Once it intersects again
with our solar system,

the results will be, in
a word, cataclysmic.

Exactly when will it reach us?

There are too many variables to calculate
precisely, but I will say this.

If this wave isn't stopped
by tomorrow night...

there will be no more us...

no more future... no more anything.

Are there any inhabited
planets in its trajectory?

Just one.

Argo City.

- Oh, my God. Superman's there
with Lois and... - My mom.

Can we warn them?

Argo Harun-El sure makes communication
difficult, but I will try.

- How much time do they have, Brainy?
- Not enough.

Superman, champion of Earth,

who faced off with Doomsday,

apprehended General Zod,

and went toe-to-toe

with dozens of Lex Luthor's death traps,

has finally met his match.

...A dirty diaper.

What do you think? Front page news?

I mean, I think it's a little
lowbrow for Lois Lane.

Lowbrow?

If only the citizens of Earth

could see Kal-El struggling with spit up.

Need I remind you, Miss Lane,

I have no powers here.

Oh, don't you be blaming
this on the red sun, honey.

Hey, buddy.

- Yay, Daddy did it.
- Yeah, kinda.

Jonathan really has your eyes, huh?

I'll take it...

so long he has your everything else.

You know, when I used
to picture us together,

we were always living on Earth,

and we had two kids.

Well, I hate to break it to you, Kansas,

but prognostication

is not one of your superpowers.

Kal, Lois...

Kara? In pants?

You need to get...

How did she manage to break through

Argo's shield interference?

Not well, apparently.

Kal, Lois... Argo is in danger.

You need to get out now!

Alura!

Kal, Lois, thank God.

What's happening?

A massive energy is moving through space.

It's killing everything in its path.

- How long do we have?
- Minutes!

Quickly! With me!

We must set a course for Earth.

Hopefully, they'll have enough time

to stop this wave before it hits.

Where are the rest?

There are no others. Only this one.

We'll always be with you, Jonathan.

We will never leave you.

Even in the face of our deaths.

We love you.

They're gone.

ARGO 139-65
NO SIGNATURE

And we're next.

For a very long time, I
have hated this place.

I think about all the people
that it took from me.

It would just... It would
just make me so angry.

But you're not now.

I'm still a little bit angry.

This island taught me to survive.

It turned me into someone else.

Somebody better than the
person I was before.

So, despite my feelings...

there are no stories about
the Green Arrow to tell

if I don't make my way to Lian Yu.

And I'm also not standing,
at this moment...

looking at my daughter.

Thank you for letting me
be a part of your story.

Even if it was only for a little while.

Yeah, something tells me you're
gonna create your own stories.

Lyla.

The Crisis has begun.

EARTH-1
CENTRAL CITY

Cisco, what have you got?

Is this an isolated event?
Is it everywhere?

Cisco?

Iris!

- Lyla?
- I'm Harbinger now.

I'm working with the Monitor.

He sent you to get me?

- Because the Crisis is here?
- That is correct.

I'm ready.

EARTH-1
GOTHAM CITY

Turning our attention to local news,

a series of robberies by the
Wonderland Gang continues

with seemingly no end in sight...

Where is Alice?

I said, "Where is Alice?" -

Okay... okay, I'll tell you.

- There's an old sugar factory.
- Where is it?

Batwoman, the multi-verse is in
great danger. You are needed.

I'll deal with, whatever
your crazy is, in a minute.

There is no more time.

EARTH-1
STAR CITY

Okay, folks, time for our tie-breaker
question of the night. Here we go.

What is the name of the last
song Janis Joplin ever recorded?

Ready for some free drinks?

And the answer to our final
bonus question is...

"Little Robot Man."

The strange visitors are
the winners tonight.

Better luck next time, legends.

No, that's wrong.

But "Mercedes Benz" was
Janis Joplin's last song.

I'm gonna tell that trivia host.

Sara.

So, you remember last year at Woodstock

when I was supposed to steal a lock of
Janis Joplin's hair without her noticing?

- Yeah?
- She noticed.

- Then she called me...
- "Little Robot Man."

Well, congratulations, you change history

and lost us trivia night.

Oh, and we're done here.

Lyla? What's with the suit?

Panic is rising out there.

I want every available agent in the field

until we get a handle on
whatever this thing is.

Hey! Face down on the floor. Now!

Did you do this? Did you destroy Argo?

Oh, my God, you're okay.

Thanks to her. She appeared at the
last second and brought us here.

We sent Jonathan off in an escape pod.

And my mother?

I'm so sorry, Kara.

Kara?

Where are we? And what just happened?

You're on Earth-38.

There was...

That rabbit was about to talk.

This one speaks to rabbits.

It's okay. 'Cause we're
all on the same side.

Are we? 'Cause I don't know them.

But you know me.

And if you were brought here
with all these other heroes,

it's probably because we need you.

I trust everyone in this room with my life.

Including you.

Well, I guess you should
all just call me Kate.

Yeah, yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

I'm Mia. I'm Oliver's daughter.

I never knew he had a daughter.

He gets that a lot.

Okay, you. Start talking.

There's a wave of anti-matter
sweeping across this universe,

destroying everything in its path.

I've seen the anti-matter wave in action.

It wiped all of Earth-2
right out of existence.

I brought you all to Earth-38
because this is where

the Monitor wants you to make your stand.

This universe is the tipping point.

If we don't stop the anti-matter wave here,

it will continue to the next universe,

and the next, and the next.

Until it has obliterated, not only
every Earth, but every thing...

across all reality.

Right. So, we are going
to need a bigger team.

Where's Barry? Where are the legends?

Doing reconnaissance.

I'm headed to check on them now.

I still don't like her.

Well, Brainy's algorithm will help forecast

exactly how much time we have
until the anti-matter wave hits.

Thank you all for being here.

I know we can beat this together.

About Jonathan...

we set a course for Earth in his pod,
but we don't know where it landed.

Or even if it landed.

Brainy, can you track his trajectory?

Absolutely.

We'll find that bouncing
bundle of Kryptonian joy

faster than a flying Flackurian...

This is a new problem.

I can handle it.

Wait, the tower isn't a threat.

How do you know?

It's a quantum tower, apparently.

And it's the only thing that can
save the people of this world.

At the dawn of time,

the Monitor placed quantum
towers on key Earths

as a last line of defense.

The red skies are dissipating,
which means it's working.

From this design, it looks
like the tower is capable

of generating a quantum flux field,

- which can, theoretically... - Reverse the
exogenic state of the anti-matter wave,

thereby dissipating the anti-matter energy.

Yes. Finally, someone
who speaks my language.

Love your suit.

If you want, I can probably
give it an upgrade.

Depends on how attached
you are to your hand.

Pretty attached.

So the tower can top this
Earth from being destroyed?

If you can protect it.

- Protect it from what?
- The Anti-Monitor.

He commands forces greater than any army.

When the tower stops the wave,

they will come to thwart any effort
to save this planet and its people.

Sprock!

Jonathan's pod has
disappeared from our radar.

It appears to have been
sucked into a wormhole.

- What are the co-ordinates?
- Star City. Earth-16.

- Interesting.
- POD SIGNAL LOST

It must've been a temporal
wormhole because...

well, the pod is in the year 2046.

We've been there before.

Apparently, we didn't just
travel to the future.

Yeah, we traveled to a parallel
Earth in the future. That's great.

- I'm going after him.
- Clark, you can't.

Those are two words I'm not used
to hearing and my son needs me.

I'm a parent and I get it.

The entire universe needs you.

When that tower gets attacked,

you have to be here to protect it.

I'll go.

Lois...

I'll back you up.

- I know the terrain.
- As will I.

I happen to be excellent with children.

Don't worry, I'll get him.

I love you.

You know, Oliver...

I've seen playboy Oliver,

vigilante Oliver,

but I never thought I
would see parent Oliver.

- It's weird, right?
- So weird.

But... it looks good on you.

J'onn, I thought Director
Danvers was with you.

She was.

But she went to call the president
to co-ordinate the evacuation,

in case the quantum tower fails.

She is smart, that is exactly
what I was about to suggest,

but has she contemplated
the number of ships

one would require for such an exodus?

Brainy, every alien refugee on
this planet came here on a ship.

I intend to ask them for their help.

Do you really think they will?

After how the government
treated them last year.

I have faith that... everybody
will do the right thing.

Humans and aliens alike.

Well, in any event...

this should help.

Oh, Sprock.

I just managed to zero in on
Jonathan's location in Star City.

The president is in. He's speaking
with other world leaders.

We'll co-ordinate the
effort from National City.

But J'onn...

even if we did manage to get
enough ships for everyone,

we can't just fly off Earth.

I mean, space itself is being erased.

Earth-1 is the last stop on
the anti-matter trajectory.

We can try and get everybody there.

Well, one little extrapolator
is not gonna do the job.

The transmatter portal?

Who could build one big enough?

I mean, not even Brainy has.

Lena.

She built an enormous
one for the daxamites.

I'm sure she could build one twice as big.

No, that's too big of a risk.

I mean, after Myriad, after everything...

she can't be trusted.

What other choice do we have?

I'm sorry about your mom.

I couldn't save her.

You had no powers on Argo. There
was nothing you could do.

I feel like a fool.

I thought I could give
up the cape and just...

have everything I ever wanted.

And now, Argo is gone,

this Earth is in danger,

Lois and Jonathan are out in the universe,

where I can't protect them.

And part of me can't help thinking that...

that I deserve this...

for thinking that I could have so much.

That anyone could.

I get it.

I've been thinking that a lot, too, lately.

How I can never do enough.

How my mistakes outweigh all
the good I've ever done.

But it's not true.

It can't be.

And we're going to save them.

Lois, Jonathan, this whole planet.

We've done it a dozen times and
we're going to do it again.

How are you so... hopeful right now?

You've lost just as much as I have today.

Argo, your mom...

Before our parents sent us to Earth...

nobody here knew about Krypton.

Now, there are stories,
celebrations, museum exhibits.

Just like you shared our
home with your family,

we shared our home with this whole world.

Krypton's not just a place, it's a spirit.

It's hope. It's sacrifice.

It's what our parents did for us.

What you did for Jonathan.

We have made our parents proud
by fighting for what's right.

So, we have to keep fighting.

And as long as that spirit is alive,

Krypton will never die.

- You wanted to see me?
- I did.

I have something for you.

What is it?

Only one way to find out.

Okay, please tell me you're
planning on wearing this.

I don't think that that one would fit me.

There should always be at
least one Green Arrow.

Dad, I can't.

You know, Mia, the Monitor
has taken a lot from me.

But I will always be grateful for
the time he has given me with you.

If you're not gonna wear
this, no one should.

You earned it.

Just try it on, okay? I gotta find Barry.

The fastest man alive shows up late to the
Crisis we've been expecting for years.

It's not the... it's
not the best look, Barry.

Lyla had us doing some recon
of the quantum towers.

But listen, do you remember the newspaper
article I showed you on the time vault?

Red skies and a "crisis"?

Okay, well, the Monitor confirmed
the papers had lied and...

in this Crisis, I'm supposed to die.

- No.
- No?

We need to talk. Now!

Who're you talking to?

Hey, right now!

We are past the time for
discussion, Oliver.

You and I had an agreement.

I die.

Barry and Kara live!

Yes... to keep the cosmic balance.

So, why are you telling
Barry that he's gonna die?

I spared your friends' lives so they
could save their world last year.

This... is a very different threat.

You need to stop playing games with me.

You tell me why the
Anti-Monitor is doing this.

And then tell me how I'm
going to prevent it.

Not knowing what you're fighting means

you will prepare for every possibility.

Because this threat brings with it

the annihilation of all life

in all realities.

Do you now comprehend the scope...

of the danger we all now face?

Are you here to arrest me
during the apocalypse,

or to try and kill me because you
weren't successful the other day?

I wasn't trying to hurt you, Lena.

I was trying to stop you from using Myriad.

Right. Is that why you had a
Claymore satellite aimed at me?

And I didn't use Myriad,
that was Eve Tessmacher.

You and I both know that that isn't true.

The reason the sky is red, and the
planet feels like it's falling apart

is because it is.

There is an anti-matter wave that is
tearing through the universe right now,

and it will destroy Earth if Kara
and the other heroes don't stop it.

Now, I am working with J'onn to hedge
our bets and mount an evacuation,

but in order to do that...

we need your help.

Look, I am sorry that I lied to you.

And not just me, and not just Kara...

it was all of us.

J'onn and Brainy and Nia.

You know, you actually had me
believe that you hated Supergirl.

I wasn't pretending about that.

And that is a... long story.

Listen, I... I know that
you feel burned by us.

And that there is nothing that I can say

in this moment that is
going to change that.

But if you could please just
put your feelings aside,

J'onn and I really, really, need your help.

I don't want your apology, Alex.

'Cause you will never again
have my friendship or my trust.

I have learned my lesson from all of you.

But if the world is at stake,
then of course, I'll help.

It is hubris of you to
think that I wouldn't,

but then, you've made it perfectly clear

how little you've thought of
me these last few years, so...

what do you need me to do?

Whatever is inside there, it's working

The anti-matter wave has stopped
and it's slowly dissipating.

How do we protect that thing from
an enemy we know nothing about,

but we know is coming?

We head inside...

stake out strategic positions.

If we're fortified, we control the battle.

Earthquake that magnitude could
overwhelm the entire coast.

Go. Help contain the damage.

Go! We got this.

Let's go inside and dig in.

EARTH-16
STAR CITY 2046

You've gotta be kidding me.

What are the odds that my
son's pod landed here?

Three billion, eight hundred and
twenty seven million to one.

But the pod didn't land here.

But you said that this
is where Jonathan is.

Yes. This is where I tracked him.

But I can't speculate as to why
Oliver Queen would kidnap a baby.

Well, he probably thought
he was rescuing him.

I mean, Star City is no place for a child.

Well, I'll thank him when
I have Jonathan back.

In the meantime, we should split up...

This is unnecessary.

Oliver?

Oliver.

Jonathan!

Yes. Yes, you go get Jonathan.
I'll... I'll stay here,

What? No.

No, it's not possible.

You're dead.

You...

you went down with the Gambit.

But I came back. Remember?

I found you in Lian Yu.

I must be losing my mind.

- No, Ollie, you're not...
- Hey.

You're not. You're...
It's just a long story.

The longest.

Thank you, Oliver.

Thank you for helping my baby.

So, what is this?

The proverbial calm before the storm?

Something like that.

Remember, Mia, whatever happens...

find your mother.

Tell her how much I love her.

Okay.

When Lyla said an army,

I thought she meant an... army.

She did. It's just that...

we've never faced one like this before.

"One army." She said, "One
army." It's more like ten!

- Very nice.
- Learned from the best.

...Take cover!

They're trying to breach the tower.

Well, we can't let that happen!

I'll take that upgrade now.

Oh... if I can have one of those
without losing an appendage.

Oh, so cool!

Incredibly balanced. Carbon fiber?

- Your friend talks a lot.
- Yeah, you get used to it.

Hey, Ray, focus!

Focusing.

Now, if we can just charge your Batarang
with my compressed light energy.

Incoming!

Not bad.

Dad!

There's too many of them.

You want some help?

There's no need for panic.

Supergirl and Superman are working
hard to save this planet.

Soon, alien ships will
begin circling the globe,

picking people up and taking you to safety.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Did Alex get Lena on board?

Yeah, they're working on the portal now.

I just hope J'onn can get enough ships.

There are literally billions of
people to get off the planet.

That's why Brainy left J'onn his keys.

Keys to what?

The Legion left it here.

Right on time, J'onn.

Are you ready to get this
evacuation underway?

Start getting people into groups
and I'll start beaming them up.

Let's just hope Alex and Lena
get that portal on in time

so we have somewhere to go.

- Go ahead. This way. - All right,
people, let's get in to the ship.

The quantum tower is
keeping the wave at bay.

Supergirl is...

fighting really hard to protect it,

but we've got to get this
portal up and running.

I'm trying! But the transmatter portal

works by synthesizing
polyelectronic anions.

And if I don't get the energy levels right

when I interface with the breach device,

then the ships will disintegrate
when they fly right through it.

- Right. That is not a good option.
- No.

Have you thought about
using an inverse variable

to help calculate the differential?

Galleon's theory.

That's smart. An inverse beta-decay

to figure constituent
quark, that could work.

Thanks.

Yeah... just...

keep working. I've got your back.

I never thought I'd see you again.

One of the benefits of parallel Earths.

Parallel Earths?

It would appear that your reality
is a little... stranger than mine.

You really have no idea.

All my life...

I just wanted to...

to apologize for bringing you on that boat.

But you aren't even you.

Ollie.

If your me was anything like I was,

then getting on the Gambit
with you was her choice.

And in my world, that trip...

it set off a whole series of events

that neither you or I
could've ever dreamed of.

You became a hero,

a husband, a father.

And I'm flying through time
happier than I've ever been.

And none of that would've ever happened

if I didn't get on that boat with you.

It was destiny.

I'm... sorry to break up
what I'm sure must be

the strangest reunion in
the history of the world,

but... if we don't leave now,

I'm afraid our extrapolator might not
have enough power for us to return home.

Wait, what's an extrapolator?

It's another long story.

You're a good man...

on every Earth.

- Is that it?
- Like that was easy?

They're on the roof.

What's happening out there?

The skies are red again, the
anti-matter wave's moving,

and the portal isn't open yet.

There's more shadow demons incoming.

Kara, Clark, get to the roof.

Get the tower operational again.
We'll stay behind and hold them off.

Are those solar panels?

Looks close enough.

We won't be able to power it definitely.

We just need to buy more time.

We might lose the planet, but
we can still save the people.

You almost got it?

Almost done, I think.

Yes! Systems are a go.

Calculating destination... destination set.

Smart call with Galleon's theory.

Oh, lucky guess. But you're
the real genius here, so...

Don't mistake us working
together for friendship.

I told you before,

Kara and you showed me who
you were and I accept that.

Now, let's go help people
get on these ships.

That was too close for comfort.

Always gotta one-up me, huh?

- Did it work?
- You did it.

The tower is working again
and the portal is open.

But the ships better be fast.

The Supers' charge didn't actually
stop the wave, it just slowed it down.

According to Brainy's
algorithm, we have 14 minutes

before it makes contact with Earth.

Well, then we better
make every minute count.

We've got your back.

We need to keep those shadow demons at
bay until every last ship gets through...

All right, get to the ships!

Keep your eyes open for debris, people!

Keep it orderly, people. Come on!

James left it for me.

The battle is lost!

We must retreat and save our
resources for battles yet to come.

Oliver! Oli...

Oliver! It is time!

Has the planet been evacuated yet?

Not entirely.

Then it's not time.

Oliver.

He fought to his last breath.

Knowing every moment was
another life saved.

- Saved?
- Your universe is no more.

Of 7.53 billion...

three billion souls made it to Earth-1

on the armada of ships.

I calculate one billion souls
survived due to his noble sacrifice.

Nash?

Once upon a time. Not anymore.

Now, I'm simply a man serving his penance.

Penance for what?

I freed the Anti-Monitor
from his confinement only...

to become a... Pariah.

Sentenced to bear witness to his actions.

Oliver!

It's okay, Sara.

This is my destiny.

- Oliver.
- Barry?

You, my friend...

are the very best of us.

I gave it all up...

for you and Kara.

What... What do you mean?

I need the two of you to...

be the one to...

to save us now.

Mia...

Dad.

Don't forget to find your mother.

Okay.

Find William.

Tell him how much I love him.

I love you, Mia.

You keep me in your heart, okay?

- Dad...
- Okay?

It was not supposed to be like this.

This is not his ending I foresaw.

Things are turning out
differently than I expected.

But one thing is certain.

Everything we know...

everything there is...

and everything there ever was...

is doomed.
