S1 E15Unfinished Business

So lucky you found me. I'm so lucky to be back with you two.

It's more than luck.

What do you mean?

We got an alert that Cadmus was moving a weapon. We don't get alerts unless they're releasing a video or we catch them red-handed.

But we did catch them red-handed.

No, they were waving their red hands around in the air literally like they just didn't care.

Um, Dad, this is my girlfriend, Maggie.

Things have changed. There's no man on Earth good enough for Alex Danvers, so it would have to be someone like you.

Oh, flattery. And you're right, Alex does deserve the best. Here. [hands him a bottle in a brown paper bag]

And you brought... [looks in the bag] tequila! Okay, she's family.

What's so top-secret you can't talk to me at the D.E.O. about?

It's Jeremiah's return. What if Cadmus allowed us to rescue Jeremiah so he could sabotage us? Just when this doomsday bomb is about to be detonated. I mean, think about it.

Okay, you know what? I knew I shouldn't have given you my Netflix password. Because watching that much 24 at once is not healthy.

Oh yeah, you're a terrible partner.

Terrible.

Yeah.

I'd like to not be terrible, for the record.

Look, just don't try so hard, right? Kara's a badass. She doesn't need a protector or someone to show her off, right? The girl does that all by herself.

So what's left for me?

Maybe ask her. Just listen to her. She's the one you're dating.

How could you? How could you?

Would you believe me if I said that I did it for you?

You betrayed everyone at the D.E.O., your friends, our family, everyone that I love. And you did that for me?

Family's complicated, honey.

I'm bringing you in.

Not alive, you're not. If you want to bring me in, you're gonna have to shoot me. If you do it... I'll understand. You were always the best part of me.

We any closer to finding out where Cadmus is taking them (the kidnapped aliens)?

Or what they want? Because that is the trillion-dollar-question.

It's "million-dollar-question", buddy.

Really? That low?

"The Overman should be the meaning of the Earth. Remain faithful to the Earth, and do not believe that those who speak to you of other worldly hopes."

Nietzsche.

Who better? His superman was about we humans believing in ourselves instead of looking up to gods. This time... [puts a hand on Jeremiah's shoulder] you're the only superman we need.

Turn it off. Now.

[hard] You don't threaten me.

Lillian, do you really think that I would walk into the lion's den... without a whip?

You're firing me.

Of course I am... Danvers.com. You deliberately published an article using CatCo resources on a competing social media platform, which is not only a conflict of interest, but also a direct and flagrant breach of contract.

But you refused to run the story. I thought what I was doing was right.

What "right"? You were lucky. Next time, you might not be. One wrong statistic about the stock market, and suddenly we're in a Great Depression. One misattributed quote from a candidate, and you put a fascist in the White House. The rules are there for a reason: to make sure you get the story right. That's not luck. That's being a good reporter. Y'know, the worst part is... I was rootin' for you.

I don't want another job. Reporting is my calling, I help people.

Yeah, you know who else does?

Who?

Supergirl.

It's just that... when I write, I don't need a yellow sun, it's just me. Supergirl is what I can do, Kara is who I am.

You should have run when you had the chance.

I was a theater geek, not a track star.

Hey, hey, I've been doing some very serious research on human relationships, and by now in the movie, the girl usually forgives the guy for whatever dumb thing he's done.

I had a nice chat with your mother.

Yeah, okay. What'd she want?

You. She wants to talk to you.

I'm not going back there.

Well, I tried.

What, that's it?

What else am I supposed to say? Nothing's changed for me.

Just tell me what to do, okay? Tell me what it is and I will fix it.

You can't! Okay? You can't take back the fact that you lied to me, you can't unring that bell.

Well, I can try.

Just forget about you and me for one second. Do you even understand the second chance you've been given? You thought you were the last Daxamite and you're not. Your people are alive. Your parents are alive. They need you. They love you. Don't just throw that chance away, because many of us don't get one. Now, you're a prince, so start acting like it.

You're a good egg, Sawyer. [puts his hand on Maggie's shoulder]

Leave before I throw you into holding for fun.

I have better places to go. [leaves]

Think I scared him?

Almost as good as I do.

You just want things to be easy, Mon-El, but being a hero and falling in love, those are not easy things. They're hard, and they're messy, and they hurt sometimes.

I would never hurt you on purpose, Kara.

And you won't again.

Kara, don't.

I can't, I can't do this. No, it's over.

I just gotta say that I'm pretty sure that this Cisco fellow and I would just be BFFs if, you know, we lived in the same dimension.

Yeah, don't tempt me. 'Cause I could use an... Inter-dimensional post-break-up vacay.
