[Winn has just learned his father died.]
You mind if I stay out here for a second with you?
[struggling with his feelings] Like, he's just gone, right? That's, that's all. I mean, it's not like anything's gonna change. I... never talked to him, never saw him, I....
That doesn't mean you never felt him.
Uh, I'm supposed to be feeling something, right? I don't feel... [gestures emptily] anything... I don't think... um,... Just go inside.
I'm not going back in.
Okay.
Hey, I, uh... I owe you an apology.
For what?
When we were together, I never really got... how it must have been for you to find out that I had been lying. About being Daxxam's prince, about a lot of stuff. And I am sorry that I did that to you.
I do really appreciate you saying that.
Yes, of course.
Are you okay?
Uh, yeah, Imra... Imra lied to me. About, um,... about something big. With Legion business. And Brainy was in on it, too.
Oh. Wow.
Yeah. When your wife conspires with your best friend, it–
Feels like garbage.
You've chosen to live as a black man in America. Which is a harder existence, in and of itself. Why?
You know, I was... I was forced to become Hank Henshaw out of desperation, but now I, I choose this face. I like it. And I wouldn't want to live in a world where I need to change the color of my skin to feel safe, to feel seen, to feel like... I'm not a target. I'd rather change the world.
And whatever my son's fight may be, I choose it as well.
And I have your backs.
Sorry about the mess.
Oh, this? This is... that's not your fault
Can I ask, uh, when it comes to your day-to-day, on a scale of one to ten... how big of a pain in the ass are flying monkeys?
Maybe a two.
I have done something amazing.
Did you find Pestilence?
I have done... something okay. [to Mon-El] You. Come here.
What?
I have fixed your old suit.
Winn. [hugs Winn, lifting him off the ground]
[to Kara] Hey, can I say it? Can I say it? Please?
Yes.
[to Mon-El] Suit up.
Now come. Play a match with me. I never tire of beating you.
I gotta get back to work. Why don't you bring the game to the D.E.O.? We can play later.
As soon as I finish my game against Zook (J'onn's childhood imaginary friend).... [looks around, confused] He was right here. Where is he?
[concerned] Dad?
[winks at J'onn, who becomes visibly relieved.] A joke.
Not funny, Dad.
Only because you did not see your face.
An employee of mine asked for help with a problem. And now that I've diagnosed the solution, they don't want to accept it.
Sounds like they need an intervention.
Tried that. It's not going well.
Yeah, I had a roommate, in college. Great guy, but he started taking something. I'm not sure what it was, but he would come home, all hours of the night, and just tear the place apart. I tried to tell him that he had a problem, but he never wanted to hear it. So I just kept cleaning up after him.
Did he ever acknowledge what was wrong with him?
See, that's the thing. No matter how bad you want to help somebody, all you can really do is hold up a mirror.
[upon seeing Mon-El in costume] Wow.
You always said I cleaned up nicely. It's just like old times, huh? Training again?
Except I basically had to twist your arm to train. You had no interest in being a hero. And now....
We've come a long way.
I can face down the toughest adversaries without fear, but talking to my father about this (his dementia).... [regains his composure] I don't want to take away more from him than he's already lost. I just got him back. The practice of ta'ha kareek keeps him as close to the man I've always known. I... I don't want to give that up.
My uncle Jor-El used to say "The son becomes the father, and the father the son."
[An unfamiliar person walks into the D.E.O. lab.]
[drawing her gun] Hey! Stop right there.
Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Guys, it's Brainy.
Oh, of course. I'm wearing a personal image inducer. [touches his forehead, regains his alien appearance] I had to purchase some apple cider vinegar and I nearly caused a riot at the Piggly Wiggly.
Huh.
[resuming his illusory disguise] I thought this would, uh... help me fit in better.
[walking in] Hey, guys. I just got word from City H-- [sees the disguised Brainy] .... Hi, Brainy
Wait, you-you recognize him?
Yeah. What, is that an image inducer? Eh? Ah, so our brains just think we're seeing a human, but nooo. Hey, can I borrow that for Halloween?
Well, if you're sure it's not contagious, then I need the quarantine lifted and the patients transferred to the nearest trauma facility.
We have a lead on a treatment.
You do? Already?
Well, we work very fast on account of being really smart. [smiles goofily]
Some people find humor charming during stressful circumstances. I find it's a mask for a lack of confidence.
Well, I find that... I have no retort.
Do you think I'll get through to Pestilence?
There's no way of knowing. You just have to try.
That's not what Yoda would say.
Oh, yeah. Yoda. "Do or do not." He was wrong about that one.
We took an oath when we formed the Legion: to preserve all that is good and to never harm the innocent. How is this mission in line with that? We should not kill Pestilence. [off Brainy's look] And you're obviously on Imra's side..
It's not about picking sides, Mon-El. If we kill Pestilence when we find her, there is a 98.459 percent chance the Blight will never happen. Millions of people will be saved. Now, if we try to rescue the person inside of her in order to defeat her, that chance is reduced to 52.744 percent.
Some decisions can't be made with a math equation.
My mother used to always say that good would be rewarded with grace. But when I became a surgeon, I finally saw the truth. There is no reward for being good.
Whatever is happening to you doesn't give you power over who lives. Only over who dies. You don't want that. [holds out her hand] We can stop it.
[takes Kara's hand] Stop it. Why would I ever want to stop it? This is the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. I don't have to worry about saving anyone anymore because I don't want to. [shoves Kara's hand away]
No.
I get to choose who dies.
Grace.
They say that surgeons have a God complex, but it's simple. [speaks in Pestilence's voice] I. Am. A god!
So, for three weeks, you've been harboring and abetting a mass murderer?
I helped a friend.
And you didn't think to bring this to our attention?
The attention of a clandestine organization that has never formally acknowledged its existence to me? No, I am not your employee. I have not signed a contract, nor sworn an oath. I conducted an L-Corp experiment using L-Corp technology on L-Corp property.
