Quotes

Supergirl : Olivia was so sweet and innocent when I first met her. And now she's a cult leader. I can't help but think this is my fault.
Mon-El : Wait, how?
Supergirl : Coville and his followers were going to hurt people in my name, so I cut my hand to prove to them I wasn't a god. And the second she saw my vulnerability, she became disillusioned. I let my mask down for one second, and look what happens.
Mon-El : Well, you can't be all things to all people. All you can do is be true to yourself.
Supergirl : Which self? I'm supposed to stand for... for truth. But how am I supposed to be truthful? Really truthful.
Mon-El : Well, if you tell Lena the truth, you'd be doing it to make yourself feel better, not her. So maybe, in this case, it's, uh... not telling her the truth is the noble thing. It's a sacrifice you're making to protect her.
-
Mon-El : What was that?
Lena Luthor : It's a refractive scatter field. She can't see us now.
Winn Schott : Well, even... even with the x-ray vision?
Supergirl : [trying her x-ray vision, she winces and groans in pain] Yeah. Even with x-ray vision.
Lena Luthor : The wavelength interference of the force field hurts any Kryptonian that looks at it, and the shock seems to keep her in check.
-
James Olsen : I've decided to hold a press conference to reveal that I'm Guardian.
Supergirl : No, you can't do that.
James Olsen : I have to do that. It's my only choice. It's already 4:00. In an hour, they're gonna out me anyway. This is the only leverage they have on me, so if I can get out ahead of this, I don't know, maybe I can cause them to shake up their plan or-or make a mistake.
Winn Schott : Dude, that is just like that movie "Ransom", right? With the... the guy, his son gets kidnapped, and instead of paying the ransom, he, like, flips the tables.
[noticing Mon-El's look]
Winn Schott : It's... I'm... spoilers. I just... I'm gonna...
Mon-El : They're just...
Winn Schott : I'm gonna stop.
Mon-El : Thank you.
-
Supergirl : Have you started?
Lena Luthor : No. The rock you brought us was drained of all its power.
Winn Schott : Yeah, it all went to Olivia's transformation.
J'onn J'onzz : How come the two of you don't seem too devastated by that news?
Winn Schott : Because Ms. Luthor and I very intelligently recorded the radiation signature of the sacred stone during the cult's ritual. And with a little scan of the heavens, the heavens obliged.
[showing them a computer monitor]
Winn Schott : Now, it is very rare, but the exact same rock is hurtling through space on a meteorite about five light-years away.
Supergirl : J'onn, can your ship make it that far?
J'onn J'onzz : Tuned up the FTL drive a couple of weeks ago. I could go with you.
Supergirl : No, no, you have to stay with your father.
Mon-El : I'll go. The Yuda Kal rock seems to have some kind of effect on Supergirl, but I can handle it fine.

[first lines]
Lena Luthor : It's a biolistic delivery system. It's usually used for overwriting genes in crops, but... Reign's cells are closer to plant cells than you'd think.
Supergirl : Part of how Kryptonians process sunlight. How does it work?
Lena Luthor : You take particles of heavy metal, coat them in DNA, deliver the payload, and then overwrite Reign's DNA with Sam's.
[a needle injects something into Reign]
Lena Luthor : Plasmid inserted.
[the test fails]
Lena Luthor : I thought this would work. I just need the right vectors with the right metal. I just need more time.
Reign : Yes. Give Lena more time. She doesn't have much left. Because when I'm free, I'm gonna rip out her spine. And when that's done, I'm gonna crack this planet in half, and you'll hear every scream...
-
Supergirl : Lena, I thought we talked about this. You said if you developed any weapons that could hurt Kryptonians, you would put them on my radar.
Lena Luthor : This isn't a weapon.
Supergirl : It might as well be.
Lena Luthor : I told you about Kryptonite. And I will tell you if I make it again, 'cause I agreed to that. But with regards to other things I work on, this may come as a shock to you, but I don't think about you while I'm doing it.
-
James Olsen : Something happened with Reign?
Kara Danvers : No, actually, it's... it's Lena. Why did you tell her that Supergirl asked Guardian to go into her lab to find kryptonite? Now she has a problem with me.
James Olsen : She does not have a problem with you. She... she couldn't wait to see you this morning. She was talking about it.
Kara Danvers : She couldn't wait to see Kara, not Supergirl. She has a problem with... with Supergirl. Supergirl can't tell her that she can actually trust me because I'm her best friend Kara, but Kara can't tell her why Supergirl took it so personally that she was using kryponite behind her back because Lena doesn't actually know that I'm Supergirl.
James Olsen : You know what you said is really confusing, right?
-
Kara Danvers : You should've had my back.
James Olsen : Look, I'm sorry I told her, but I felt like it was important to be honest.
Kara Danvers : At my expense?
James Olsen : I really like her. And-and for this to move forward, I have to be honest about my life, about everything, about Guardian. And because I was, she opened up to me.
Kara Danvers : I'm really happy for you, James. I really am. But I can't be honest with Lena, and you know it.
James Olsen : You were straight with me.
Kara Danvers : My secret identity is there to protect people, and if Lena knew I was Supergirl, people might use it against her. For the past two years, I... I've had to be dishonest with her while she's been opening up to me. Lillian Luthor said it, and she was right. If Lena ever found out that I was Supergirl, she would be devastated, and she would lump me in with every other person in her life that's betrayed her.
-
Tanya : You know Supergirl? I need you to get this to her.
James Olsen : What is this?
Tanya : It's Thomas Coville's journal.
Kara Danvers : How did you get this?
Tanya : I stole it from his cult. Can you get it to her or not? I thought you two were close. I think his followers are using it to make a bomb.
-
Tanya : I was a teacher. Linguistics and semiotics.
Kara Danvers : You helped Coville learn Kryptonian.
Tanya : He found me. I-I'd been saved by her. I... I just wanted the miracle to mean something. But when Reign came, the followers started making me translate his journal. It had everything he had ever learned about Krypton, and I was the only one left who knew how to read it. But what I read, it was like a recipe. Explosives.
James Olsen : Where's Coville now?
Tanya : He just vanished. The others were saying that he died serving Reign, that-that he's a martyr. They'd become fanatics.
James Olsen : And where are his... disciples now?
Tanya : [scribbling an address on a Post-It] This is where I ran away from.
-
Mon-El : Do you think you could help us figure out what kind of bomb did this?
Winn Schott : Yeah. Yeah, well, Lena's spectra analysis equipment is, uh, sort of running on overdrive, so we're gonna have to go back to the DEO.
Supergirl : Sure.
Mon-El : Yeah, we'll go with you. And we can go over Coville's journal while we work.
Supergirl : Good idea.
-
Supergirl : I don't like this tension between us, Lena. And I know it's my fault. I know James told you what I asked him to do, and... look, I feel terrible about it. I made a huge mistake, and I'm sorry.
Lena Luthor : Well, it's easy to admit your mistake when you've been exposed.
Supergirl : That's fair. I just don't want one mistake to ruin our friendship, that's all.
Lena Luthor : It won't.
Supergirl : Good.
Lena Luthor : We don't have a friendship, Supergirl. All this time we've been working together, it's been about work. We have a mission to complete. And I am not about to let any tension between you and I get in the way of that. Are you?
Supergirl : Of course not. I-I just hope, um, when we solve this, we can work to rebuild our trust.
Lena Luthor : Why is it so important to you that we're friends? I have friends, Supergirl. Friends that don't scheme behind my back or lie. Given my family history, they know how painful that would be. They also know I would never enter into a friendship with anyone who's already breached that trust.
Supergirl : Understood.
-
Supergirl : What happened? Are you okay?
James Olsen : Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tanya : They came for me.
James Olsen : You'll never believe who the heavy was. Olivia.
Supergirl : Olivia? But... but she was the first one to turn on Coville at the stadium.
Tanya : Yeah, you're right. She was lost after that. More than the rest, but she kept visiting him in prison.
Supergirl : You should've called me.
Tanya : Oh! Guardian had it handled. Don't worry, I'm not gonna start a church or anything.
-
James Olsen : So, any luck finding the cult?
Supergirl : We went back to where you escaped from. They weren't there, but we did find evidence that they were trying to build the bomb you told James and Kara Danvers about. But they failed. Um... we think someone might have died there.
Tanya : [she holds out a necklace] This was Liza's. She was my friend.
Supergirl : [James' phone buzzes] What is it?
[noticing his expression change]
Supergirl : James.
[he tosses her the phone]
Supergirl : [reading a text] "Give us Tanya and the journal, or the world will see your true face."
James Olsen : They're gonna tell National City I'm Guardian.
-
Lena Luthor : I just finished analyzing that residue that you found. What killed the girl wasn't a bomb at all. It was caused by a heavy metal reaction.
Winn Schott : A heavy metal not found on Earth.
Supergirl : I... I've seen this before.
[flipping through Coville's journal]
Supergirl : Here. The Rock of Yuda Kal. He says he found a statue of her in Addis Ababa made of Kryptonian stone.
Mon-El : Yuda Kal, isn't that the Kryptonian goddess of life?
Lena Luthor : I don't know anything about a goddess, but this is the exact inverse of what I need to cure Sam.
Supergirl : We were wrong. They weren't using the rock to make a bomb, they're making a new Worldkiller.
Lena Luthor : Well, if the Rock of Yuda Kal can be used to make a Worldkiller, we could just reverse the process and use it to unmake one. We could turn Reign back into Sam permanently.
Supergirl : We can cure her.
-
Supergirl : What happened? Was there another attack at CatCo?
James Olsen : No, no, no. I-I'm sorry to bring Tanya here, but I figured with all the threats out there, this is the safest place for her.
-
James Olsen : Should've never let Tanya go.
Lena Luthor : Wait. Wait, wait. If they use the rock, then it will give off an energy signal.
Winn Schott : Which we can scan for.
James Olsen : Wouldn't that get us there after they've already made a Worldkiller?
Supergirl : Don't worry. There's a reason we sent Mon-El with her. He's smart, tactical, he's a Legionnaire. If anyone can find us a signal, it's him.
-
James Olsen : [noticing Kara wince in pain] What is it?
Supergirl : Kryptonian sunstone. Mon-El found a frequency I can hear. Let's go.
-
Supergirl : You once believed in me. You thought I saved you for a reason, and I did. I saved you so that you could have a life.
Olivia : This is a life.
Supergirl : No, this is someone else's life. This is Coville's life. I know what it's like to not know which role you have to play. But you have so much to offer this world. So much. And this is not it.
Olivia : But... who am I without it?
Supergirl : Let go of that rock, and you'll have a lifetime to figure it out.
-
Olivia : Help. Please, please, please. Get it off, please.
Mon-El : [trying to remove the rock from her grasp] It won't budge.
Supergirl : Olivia, this is gonna hurt.
[she uses her heat vision on the rock, and Mon-El manages to remove it]
Supergirl : [taking Olivia's hand] Let me see, let me see.
[she uses her freeze breath on the wound]
Supergirl : [holding her to comfort her] You're okay. You're okay.
Olivia : [sobbing] I'm sorry.
Supergirl : It's okay.
-
James Olsen : I just wanted to apologize for putting you in a tough position with Lena earlier.
Supergirl : Oh, it's fine. I did it. I asked you to do something I shouldn't have. I knew there were consequences.
James Olsen : I do understand the complex issues about your identity. But I gotta tell you, there was a moment when I decided to unmask today where... I felt powerful. And-and don't get me wrong, I was definitely afraid of what changes may come or-or how people may perceive me, or the fallout. But I-I wanted to fight that good fight, because I think people like Tanya need to see heroes who look like me so they know what they're capable of.
Supergirl : Yeah.
James Olsen : So when the time is right, on my own terms, I'm gonna take that mask off.
Supergirl : I'm proud of you.
James Olsen : That's my story. Yours is different. You can't take yours off because you do it to protect us, the people you care about. I know it takes its toll.
Supergirl : Well...
James Olsen : But I'm here to tell you that I respect it. I understand it. I appreciate it.
-
Winn Schott : [seeing Reign free from her restraints] She's out of bed. She-she broke the chains.
Supergirl : How'd she do that? The kryptonite's supposed to keep her weak.
Lena Luthor : Her-her body's adapting, like Pestilence to the anti-virus. She's becoming immune.
J'onn J'onzz : How long 'till you won't be able to keep her contained?
Lena Luthor : I don't know. A couple of days.
Mon-El : Then we better get a move-on.
-
Supergirl : "You must deliver Tanya and the journal to the corner of Pacific and First at 5:00 p.m. If you fail to show up, we will go live with this video and reveal James Olsen as Guardian to all of National City."
Tanya : I am so sorry I put you at risk.
James Olsen : No, no, no, it's not your fault.
Tanya : If they expose your identity, then you're a vigilante. They could arrest you, and then all of those people that you put in jail, they... they'd know who are you, they could go after you.
James Olsen : Look, Tanya, it-it is not about that right now. This is about protecting you.
Supergirl : We have three hours. We can find Olivia and her followers before anything happens to James.
