Supergirl (2015–…): Season 6, Episode 19 - Episode #6.19 - full transcript

Previously on Supergirl...

Thousands of years ago,
there was an evil imp
who created an AllStone

to give him mastery
over everything.

The other imps found out
about it

and they blew up
the AllStone,

scattering the pieces
throughout the known universes

where they became Totems.

Nyxly needs the Totems
to make a new AllStone.

My only desire is to rule
by your side

while destroying everyone
who gets in our way.

And after
we've rebuilt the AllStone,
you're going to betray me.



Betraying you
is inconceivable.

The Love Totem disappeared.

The Totems' powers
are so elemental in nature,
they can't be destroyed.

They only reconstitute
in a new form.

I'm an ex-con.
I don't really have a place to
live and I take care of Joey.

That's exactly why the Heights
is gonna need a new
council member.

CatCo reporter William Dey
has leaked Lex's
private journal.

This is my reputation.

You used my name
to validate an unethical story.

I had
to prevent your friends
from understanding

how important
the little girl was
until I got what I wanted.

To Andrea Rojas.
Here's your real story.

Esme is gone.
Oh, my God!

Well, this is awkward.



Lex.

I can only imagine
emotions must be running high
right now.

If you hurt my daughter,
I will kill you.

Do you hear me?
Alex.

No, it's just a recording.

He's too much of a coward
to face us in person.

Now, there's no need to worry
about the little alien.

She's safe
and won't be harmed.

Baby Truth Seeker.

I cannot tell a lie.

Seven Totems.

Courage, Hope, Humanity,
Dream, Truth, Destiny and Love.

You are in possession
of five of them,

while Nyxly and I
are in possession
of just one.

The Love Totem
has merged with the girl.

You bring me your five,
plus the Totem
still to be found,

the Destiny Totem,
and I will trade you Esme.

Easy-peasy.

Now, before you go
screaming "trap,"

let me assuage your fears.

There is one place
on this planet where
we can't harm one another.

A lovely bridge
near the Fort Rozz
crash site.

The Omegahedron explosion
from, what? Six years ago?

Well, that explosion rendered
all tech and super powers
in that area inert.

It is indeed a dead zone.

I will bring the girl there
noon tomorrow.

Enough time for Nyxly and I
to have safely retrieved
the Love Totem

and for you
to have done the same

with the Destiny Totem.

You fail to show up
or you turn this exchange
into something unpleasant,

the girl will end up
like your friend...

William Dey.

Be safe out there.

Would be a shame
if something happened to you

before we get to see
each other again.

Okay, we are going to find them
and we are going
to get Esme back.

I will fix this.

Brainy, start scanning
every inch of this globe

for Lex, Nyxly,
Mitch and Esme.

We need to find them.

I'll search every place
that Lex has access to

and try to track him down

with one of
my mother's spells.

I always knew
Lex was dangerous,

but this is going too far.

We need to find
that Destiny Totem.

Nia, can you dream
their location?

I can try.

But it didn't work last time,

even with Lena's magic.

Now we have
the Dream Totem.

I can build you
an arm shield like I did
for J'onn and Supergirl

and you could wield
the Totem's power to find it.

We don't need it.

Because Lena
can conjure up

a decoy Destiny Totem

and I will take it

and rest of the Totems
to the bridge,

and I will get Esme to safety.

And then I will kill Lex
with my bare hands.

Nothing will work
on the bridge, Alex.

And even if it did,
Lex will figure out it's fake.

Then we give him
what he wants.

No, Alex, we can't give
Lex and Nyxly a Totem.

We can't give them
more power.

They'll use it against us.

They'll destroy this world.

I don't care about anything

other than getting
our daughter back.

And we will get her back.

By finding
the Destiny Totem

and using it
and the rest of the Totems

to power me up.

And then I will find them,

I will get Esme back,

and I will stop Lex and Nyxly
once and for all.

Kara--
No, I know you're panicking.

We are all devastated
right now.

But I am trying to keep
a clear head

so that no one else
gets hurt by them.

You just need
to trust me, okay?

Just trust me.
I will get your daughter back.

I put out snacks
for the little one.

I do hope she likes canapes.

They're delicious.

She's already quite spooked

without having to look
at you two ghouls.

Please leave.

I'll try not to be offended
by that remark.

You see, Esme?

I told you
there'd be a tea party
waiting for us.

I'm never going to see
my moms again, am I?

Of course you are.

This beautiful,
kind woman will make sure
that you do.

Nothing good has
ever lasted long for me.

Maybe we should
get on with this.

Do you want to try
and say a funny word
to cheer yourself up?

Sometimes when you say
a funny word, it can put
a smile on your face.

No? All right.

Maybe I'll just
try it for you.

Cgyrzyx.

The tattoo
is losing its petals.

And you don't have
to have seen
Beauty and the Beast

to know that
when it loses them all,

the Totem will find
a new host and be lost to us.

We need to get it out now.

What is taking so long?

I don't know.

It won't show me
the gauntlet.

I can't get the Totem
out of her
until it's revealed to me.

Maybe we should just cut it
out of her while we--

I will not let you hurt
that little girl.

If you know me as well
as you claim,

you would know
hurting an innocent child

is something I would never,
ever agree to.

In the future,

our demise hinges

on how you
come into possession
of the Love Totem in this time.

You used magic to end-run
the gauntlet

and as a result,
you perished.

And I will not
let that happen again, ever.

Maybe I need to
get it out this time.

I can try to access
the gauntlet.

You get it?

Is this some sort of setup?

You want the Totem
for yourself?

No. I just want what's best
for you so that we can have
the future we deserve.

What's best for me
is no man doing something

I'm quite capable
of doing myself.

The girl is scared.

Once I gain her trust,

the gauntlet
will be revealed to me.

And then I will get
the Love Totem.

I just need your word
that you will not hurt her.

I would never betray
the woman I love.

Don't move.

Lena.

What are you doing here?

How did you find us?

William sent me a video
of him and Lex.

I followed William's trail.

I should have known
I'd be too late.

William was already gone
when Supergirl got here.

Instead of hedging,

you should've just told me
the truth when I asked you.

I am a monster.

William said I stood
for nothing, and he was right.

No, you're not
a monster, Andrea.

Lex is.
He did this, not you.

Whenever my back
is to the wall,

I do whatever I have to do
to get out from under,

no matter who I hurt.

Fine.

You're right.

So what are you going
to do about it?

It's too late.

I can't fix this.

I can't bring
William back. I...

I can't fix anything
I've done.

No, there's still time
for you to be
a better person, Andrea.

I have stood where you are.

I have made worse mistakes.

Rationalized more.

You can still make amends...

to yourself and the people
that you've wronged,

and live a meaningful life.

How?

Got to embrace the person
you want to be and the choices
you want to make.

And still stay mindful

when that darkness
wants to take over.

So you can move forward,

never back.

This is my worst nightmare.

Someone I love,
dying on my watch.

It never gets any easier.

But we have to stay focused.

I must have circled the globe
a dozen times just listening,
scanning.

There's no sign of Lex
at any of his hideouts.

I knew. I knew I shouldn't
have taken my eye off the ball,
even for a second.

J'onn, it's my job to keep
my family safe.

He died protecting Esme.

Yeah, I let
my guard down too.

You know, I'm done.
I'm done.

I am so tired of this fight.

Whatever I need to do,

whatever power
I need to claim

to rescue Esme
and stop Lex and Nyxly,

even if it means using
the AllStone myself,

I will take it.

And I'll be right
by your side.

You agreed to let Nyxly
try to get the Love Totem
out of Esme her way.

If she can gain
the child's trust and access
the gauntlet, great.

If not,
she'll have to agree

that the only way
to get the Totem
is to kill the little brat.

I see you've forgotten
the most basic rule of chess.

If you touch a piece--

You must make a move
or capture that piece,
if legal to do so.

Hello, Mother.

This is a surprise.

Oh.

Bobby Fischer made that
exact mistake.

Buenos Aires, 1960.
1960, yes.

Cost him the match
with Unzicker.

Speaking of terrible moves,

there are reports

that you murdered
a CatCo journalist
and kidnapped a little girl.

What's the play this time?

There's no play.

I'm in love, Mother.

So that leaked journal

with those treacly love poems,
it's actually yours?

And this Nyxly, she's--

Like no woman
I've ever met.

We're halves of the same whole.
Yin and yang, alpha and omega.

She's fierce, brilliant--

And an alien.

You don't understand.

With Nyxly,
I finally feel like I am
the man I'm meant to be.

No one has ever
had my back like her.

Certainly not you
or my dear sister.

Time after time,

you and Lena have stabbed me
in the back when I needed you
the most.

I know
it was a different Earth,
but you did try to poison me.

What you should be
concerned with
is the present,

and the murder
and kidnapping charges
you'll be facing.

If I'm caught,
which I won't.

Our lawyers say
you can plead insanity.

And I agree.

My love for Nyxly is real.

Drop her.

Now.

I'm not
taking orders from you.

Besides, I have been
to the future where Nyxly
and I rule together

as the most powerful couple
in the universe.

It's destiny.

Your true destiny
is with your family.

You, me, your sister.

We are powerful
and can accomplish
great things together.

The choice is easy.

Your family

or the imp.

You're absolutely right.

The choice is easy.

I choose Nyxly.

What's that you're drawing?

My moms.

I want to remember them.

Well, you will be
with them again.

I will make sure of it.

You know,

when I was your age,

I loved nothing more
than drawing.

I would sit by the lake
for hours and hours
and I would just draw.

I had pencils in every color
you could possibly imagine...

until one day
they were gone.

What happened to them?

My father had them destroyed.

He thought art was useless.

And that as a princess,

I shouldn't
be wasting my time
with such nonsense.

And then he tried
to slit my throat.

I don't like that story.

I don't blame you,
little one.

My point is,

just because scary things
happen to us sometimes,

it doesn't mean
that we're always destined
for only bad things.

You can be reunited
with your family

if you believe it.

So, why don't we smile

and try and say
that funny word again?

Cgyrzyx.

Alex?

I came in here, um...

...looking for weapons.

You know, just anything
that I could take
on that bridge.

I keep thinking
how scared she must be.

You know, we promised her
that she would never
leave us.

What she must be thinking...

Powerless.

Kelly, powerless.

There is my Kryptonite.

I know.

I just, I have to believe
that things are going
to work out.

Because if I believe
anything else...

I know. I'm going through
all of the what ifs.

I mean,
if I had listened to Kara,

if I had put on
the power dampeners,

if I had kept her safer,

then maybe she wouldn't have
turned into the Love Totem.

There are so many ifs.

Okay,
we can't play this game.

Don't doubt
what you did for her.

How much we love her.

It's because of that love.

That Totem seeks out love.

It's because
of how much we love her.

Whatever it takes,

we're going to do it.

Whatever it takes.

See, it fits perfectly.

Like Cinderella...

without the gender inequality
through patriarchy

and sexual objectification.

Brainy, what if I dream
something terrible?

About Esme.
What if I dream that we never
get her back or that Lex...

Ever since I saw
William lying there...
What if I see...

Then you'll see it.

Good or bad,

knowing the truth
allows you to deal with it.

Like with us.

I would have been called
to the future regardless,

but knowing allows us
to deal with things.

In our case,

treasuring the time
we have left together.

Whatever you do see
in your dream,

I will be by your side.

Then come with me.

I can bring you
into the Dream Realm
just like I brought Maeve.

And we'll face it together.

Together.

Hey.
So, did the tech work?

Did you find
the Destiny Totem?

Not only that, but...

I was able
to sense Esme too.

She's safe.

Thank God.

So where is she?

I don't know.

But we discovered
the Destiny Totem

is at the ruins of
St. Vassily's Cathedral
in Prague.

Home of the Statue
of the Three Fates.

Those three fates
are Clotho, Lachesis
and Atropos.

Clotho was a spinner.
She spun the thread of life.

Thread of Destiny.

I'll go get the Totem
and then we'll get Esme back.

Cgyrzyx.

In order
to take the Totem,

you must face your destiny
without it.

Alex?

What are you doing?

Whatever it takes
to get my daughter back.

Alex.

Alex, give me the Totem.

I can save Esme.

Esme is gone.

And the only way
to keep her safe

is by giving Lex what he wants,
which is the Totems.

And then I'm gonna bring
my daughter home.

Listen. Please, wait.

When I activated
the Destiny Totem,
it showed me my destiny.

It's...

Lex and Nyxly
are all-powerful.

Governments waging war
against them.

The world is in shambles.

And the only way
to prevent that

is by using the combined power
of the Totems against them.

She's my daughter, Kara,
my daughter.

I would risk the world

rather than losing her

by paying his ransom.

If doing that
puts my little girl
back in my arms again,

then that is exactly
what I'm going to do.

Alex...

I won't be able
to stop them.

Not once
they're all-powerful.

Okay, so what if
your plan fails

and something happens
to Esme?

I would never forgive myself.

And I could never forgive you.

Are you 100% certain

that Lex will hold up
his end of the bargain?

Are you 100% certain
that you could save Esme?

I didn't think so.

I'm sorry, Kara.

Lillian.

Huh.

Lex didn't tell me
you were going to drop in.

I came to see you.

So, you're Nyxly.

Mmm-hmm.

I can see why
you caught his eye.
You're quite beautiful.

But you're an alien,
and my son loathes aliens.

I'm a princess.
And your son loves me.

Lex is incapable
of loving anyone but himself.

Well, he can be charming,
but he's a sociopath.

And they're very good liars.

I see what
you're trying to do.

You know, if you're
so compelled to meddle

in your son's life and love,
you should just go talk to him.

He's using you.

I'm a 5th Dimensional imp
with powers you can't possibly
even begin to fathom.

I'm nobody's fool.

But you don't have any powers
at the moment, do you, dear?

I've read
all about your daddy issues
and thirst for revenge.

Let me guess, Lex promised
to help you in exchange for...

Nothing.
Mmm.

Are you sure about that?

Mmm-hmm.

Don't say
you weren't warned.

Did you get
the Destiny Totem?

Yes, I did.

But then Alex took it,
along with the rest
of the Totems.

What?
Alex and Kelly
are gonna pay the ransom.

Give the Totems to Lex
in return for Esme.

We have to go after them,
stop them.

I know we should, but...

I had to let her go.

And once Lex gets the Totems

and he and Nyxly
create the AllStone, I won't
have the power to stop them.

There has to be some way,
with science or magic,

to stop the power
of the AllStone.

There might be a way.

The US government has
an experimental solar satellite

they use for enhancing
crop growth.

If we could adjust its orbit
and repurpose its output,

the satellite could filter
a portion of the sun's energy
directly into Supergirl.

Supercharging you.

And what would that do?

Your brain would process
information quicker.

Your super hearing
would increase fifty-fold.

More importantly,
5th Dimensional magic
will have no effect on you.

You'd be invincible.

It'll take four minutes
for the satellite
to fully charge you.

Then you'll be able
to find Esme, neutralize
the threat of the AllStone,

and defeat Lex and Nyxly.

Brainy, that's great.
Why didn't you think
of this before?

There is one tiny drawback.

It'll take the sun six months
to regenerate.

The sun is responsible
for ocean currents,
for climate, for plant life.

Any disruption
would be devastating.

Not to mention
that the sun's orbit
could be altered.

So I'll put it back.
I'll fix it.

Because if we don't act
before that ransom exchange,

we'll have no hope
of stopping them.

Kara... Kara, listen to me.
You can't do this.
You'll be playing God.

I went down that path
with Non Nocere,
and you saw what happened.

And I saw what will happen
if they get the AllStone.

It's global destruction, Lena.

I hear what you're saying.
I do, but I have
to do something.

I'm gonna go
to the bridge to help Alex
and Kelly get Esme back.

I'll go with you.

The satellite
will be over National City
in ten minutes.

J'onn will move
the satellite into position,

and from the ground
I'll calibrate the signal
with a remote.

But this satellite
is a joint project between
the US government

and South America,
which means it falls

under the jurisdiction
of the Department of State.

The moment we take control
of that satellite...

Secretary Brown
will be all over us.

And with her,
the entire US Army.

Let's go catch a satellite.

I know
what I need to do, but...

Can I get you anything, sir?

If I do it,
she won't like it.

I said I wouldn't.

Gave her my word.

She'll have to understand
our future depends on it.

Philippe,
I need you to keep Nyxly
out of Esme's room

while I access the gauntlet
for the Love Totem.

Very well, sir.

It's showtime.

No!

Lex, what have you done?

I know I promised,
but I knew that Mxy's essence,

a burst of 5th Dimensional
energy would grant access
to the Love Totem's gauntlet.

I wanted to save you
from yourself and what you
did to get it in the future.

By sneaking behind my back?

You don't care
about me at all.

You just want the Totems
for yourself.

Huh.

Your mother was right.

My mother?
Whatever she told you,
don't believe it.

That woman would rather
see me dead than happy.

You're scaring Esme.

I get that you
don't want to hurt the kid,
but we are out of time.

No. No!

I won't let you
harm this child.

Fill your heart
with love. Only then will love
be given to you.

The Love Totem.

See, I was right to break
the crystal ball.

I got you the Totem,
and it's perfect timing.

We have got to get
to the bridge.

I told you there is no "we."

No more.

Come on, Esme. Esme?

Let's get you back
to your family.

All right? Come on.

The plan worked!

That proves
I didn't betray you.
I couldn't. You...

You have to believe that!

From the moment I met you,
I knew you shouldn't
be trusted.

You're nothing
but a foul little man

who lies and cheats
and plays mind games
to get what he wants.

You're just like my father.

I could say I hate you,
but the truth is I pity you.

No one will ever love you.

Goodbye, Lex.

Hello, Lex.

I heard from Philippe
that the imp broke up with you.

Have you come
to say I told you so?
Of course.

And to say you're lucky
I'm your mother,
because I forgive you.

I was sure you'd be busy
packing an arsenal
to kill her.

Timing is everything, Mother.

Do you like
watching fireworks?

We're not crazy
for doing this, right?

We're getting
our daughter back.

Anyone care
for some backup?

Is, uh, Kara...

She's preparing to fight Lex
in her own way.

No matter whose plan works,
we are going home
with Esme tonight.

They're here.

They came!

Satellite is in position.

I'm turning it on now.

Supergirl, the clock
to four minutes has begun.

Bring the Totems
to the center of the bridge

and I'll let Esme
come to you.

Where's Lex?

I'm done with him.

Are you ready?

Yep.

Give me the Totems.

Give us our daughter first.

No, we do it
at the same time.

All right, little lamb.

Off you go.

Come here, sweetie.
Come here.

Come here.

The AllStone.

The bad man is here.

It's a trap!

Your brain would process
information quicker.

Your super hearing
would increase fifty-fold.

What's up there?
It's her!

Supergirl, two minutes
and 41 seconds
until the solar flare blast.

Why is she doing this?

Madam Secretary.

I don't know
what you people are planning,

but can't you see
you're hurting the people
you're trying to help?

If we don't do this,
Lex Luthor will do
much worse.

That's not
a good enough answer.

Drop the remote.

I am not going
to tell you again.

I'm sorry, Madam Secretary.

We can't.

What's happening down there?

Nothing I can't handle.

One minute.

Mr. President,
we need to call in
an air strike on Supergirl.

I thought Supergirl
was our friend.

Supergirl, please stop.

Thirty seconds.

Supergirl, please stop.

J'onn, you can release
the solar flare blast
in six seconds.

Just give me the go-ahead.

Five, four...

Brainy, J'onn...

This isn't right,
shut it down.

You said this is
the best way.

No, seizing power
is what our enemies do.

We're defined by our choices,
and this is the wrong one.

Turn it off.

I'm sorry. We were wrong.

What do we do now?

We help Alex get Esme back.

That was for Esme.

Guardian!

Ah.

The Brat of Brawn.

I was wondering
when you'd show.

Leave my family alone!

Esme, no!

I deserve the AllStone.

I waited an eternity
in the Phantom Zone for it.

Give me your piece.

Or I will destroy everything
and everyone you ever loved.

Since you think I am incapable
of loving anything or anyone,

I guess
that doesn't apply to me.

Lena, can you help?

Lex!

Mother!

That's what happens

when you let your mommy
do your fighting for you.

Lillian is stable,
but it's not looking good.

Lena's trying to find a spell
that could maybe save her.

What's happening here?

Lex and Nyxly have taken
their fight public,

and are using portals to parry
and then retreat.

Makes it nearly impossible
to get a lock
on their positions

so we can launch
a counteroffensive.

What's happening to them?

Whatever it is,
I think it has something
to do with this.

The more Lex and Nyxly use
their pieces of the AllStone,

the more they'll drain
the world of the very elements
the Totems represent.

Soon those things
will be lost forever.

You're talking
truth and love...

Hope.

They're empowering themselves
by disempowering everyone else.

We're looking
at the worldwide loss
of the very things

that make humans human
in the next 72 hours.

Okay, so what if
Nyxly goes back

to the 5th Dimension,
would that at least spare ours?

They each only have
a third of the AllStone,

which gives them power,

but not enough to tear open
a new dimensional doorway.

Neither can win
if the other fights on.

Which means
they're going to need your
piece of the AllStone, too.

You could fight them with it.

You could win.

No, no.

We tried fighting power
with power

and we just ended up
hurting the people
we were trying to help.

I'm not making
that mistake again.

Then what do we do?

I need to think.

Perhaps we should call in
some measure of reinforcements.

We wait.

Give Supergirl a chance.

Mama, why isn't anyone
helping us?

I have no power
to fight this.

I give up.

But you can't give up!
We can never give up.

Like the world around you
is crumbling,

and I know exactly
what you're thinking.

How can I tell you it's not

when you see
it all falling apart
before your own eyes?

I am not telling you
to deny your reality.

I'm only telling you
to embrace your strength.

They cannot make you
feel hopeless.

They cannot take
your ability to love.

And they cannot convince you
that the truth is a lie.

Not when you know it
in your heart.

Your power is yours,
and no one can take that
from you.

So stay strong. Be strong.

And live on to fight
another day.
