00:08:29,552 --> 00:08:32,512
The... the what?
171
00:08:32,555 --> 00:08:35,297
The Phantom attacks.
And I want a whole series.
172
00:08:35,340 --> 00:08:39,040
Interviews with Supergirl
and everyone who was
turned into a Phantom.
173
00:08:39,083 --> 00:08:41,651
Here's a list of the victims,
and I want all the details.
174
00:08:41,695 --> 00:08:44,001
Don't let them skip
a single thing, okay?
175
00:08:44,045 --> 00:08:45,655
-Okay.
-Thanks.
176
00:08:45,699 --> 00:08:47,483
[gasps softly]
177
00:08:47,527 --> 00:08:51,095
Why did no one tell me
that Phantoms
attacked National City?
178
00:08:52,706 --> 00:08:55,404
-Alex didn't want us
to burden you.
-[exhales]
179
00:08:55,447 --> 00:08:57,885
She knew you'd be worried,
and for no reason.
180
00:08:57,928 --> 00:08:59,887
The Phantom is gone,
this is in the past.
181
00:08:59,930 --> 00:09:02,498
Yeah, but how did it
even get here?
182
00:09:02,542 --> 00:09:09,287
We... sort of released it...
the first time we tried
to rescue you.
183
00:09:09,331 --> 00:09:12,987
So, all these people
suffered because of me?
184
00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:14,641
No. Kara, no.
185
00:09:14,684 --> 00:09:18,253
It is Lex's fault.
He is the one
that sent you there.
186
00:09:19,733 --> 00:09:22,083
Yeah, it, uh... [sniffles]
187
00:09:22,126 --> 00:09:25,347
It doesn't matter.
Like you said, that's over.
It's done now.
188
00:09:25,390 --> 00:09:27,131
So, I'll go talk to Andrea.
189
00:09:30,352 --> 00:09:33,790
And I will go
talk to Uncle Archie
190
00:09:33,834 --> 00:09:37,315
and remind him
that humans cannot lift
800 pounds of machinery.
191
00:09:37,359 --> 00:09:38,186
[Kara] Oh...
192
00:09:39,317 --> 00:09:41,363
-Oh, dear.
-Welcome back, Kara.
193
00:09:41,406 --> 00:09:43,017
William.
194
00:09:44,235 --> 00:09:46,368
-Hi.
-Hi.
195
00:09:46,411 --> 00:09:50,415
Look, I'm really sorry
that I left
without saying goodbye,
196
00:09:50,459 --> 00:09:53,462
or without even
giving you a call. I...
197
00:09:53,505 --> 00:09:55,769
-I had to go undercover--
-Kara.
198
00:09:55,812 --> 00:09:57,248
You do not owe me an apology.
199
00:09:57,292 --> 00:09:58,946
When we first met,
I was undercover. I get it.
200
00:09:59,816 --> 00:10:01,078
Of course you do.
201
00:10:02,689 --> 00:10:06,170
Hey, we should get coffee
after work, catch up.
202
00:10:06,214 --> 00:10:10,522
I'd love to,
but I have plans. Um...
203
00:10:10,566 --> 00:10:14,352
I've been seeing someone,
her name's Mary,
she's a pediatrician.
204
00:10:14,396 --> 00:10:16,354
We actually met
at a charity bake-off.
205
00:10:16,398 --> 00:10:19,314
Her apricot couronne
very narrowly beat
my famous banoffee pie.
206
00:10:19,357 --> 00:10:22,796
-Wow.
-Mm-hmm. Well deserved,
I must say.
207
00:10:22,839 --> 00:10:26,190
That's wonderful.
I'm really happy
for you, William.
208
00:10:26,234 --> 00:10:28,062
Thank you.
209
00:10:28,105 --> 00:10:29,759
-But coffee soon.
-Yes.
210
00:10:29,803 --> 00:10:32,588
I know you can't divulge much
about the secret profile,
211
00:10:32,632 --> 00:10:35,156
but I must hear
some of the details.
212
00:10:35,199 --> 00:10:37,898
-Okay.
-It's good to have you back.
213
00:10:39,682 --> 00:10:41,553
[Zor-El] There was
a moment in there,
214
00:10:41,597 --> 00:10:45,383
when I could hear
the other side of ten
different phone conversations.
215
00:10:45,427 --> 00:10:48,169
These powers are... intense.
216
00:10:48,212 --> 00:10:50,519
It takes time.
217
00:10:50,562 --> 00:10:53,261
Especially, when your powers
come to you all at once.
218
00:10:53,304 --> 00:10:54,915
And without a manual.
219
00:11:04,315 --> 00:11:06,274
What a difference a sun makes.
220
00:11:08,929 --> 00:11:09,973
What is that?
221
00:11:12,019 --> 00:11:13,977
Something has broken through
the Earth's atmosphere.
222
00:11:14,021 --> 00:11:16,980
Looks like
a large piece of machinery.
223
00:11:17,024 --> 00:11:19,504
It's speeding towards us.
224
00:11:19,548 --> 00:11:21,681
You really wanna see
what Kara's life is like?
225
00:11:21,724 --> 00:11:23,639
Suit up and get ready to fly.
226
00:11:32,213 --> 00:11:35,085
J'onn, I've got eyes
on the satellite.
227
00:11:35,129 --> 00:11:39,176
-[J'onn J'onzz]
Do you need backup?
-No, we've got this.
228
00:11:52,189 --> 00:11:55,366
-I'll go get it.
-Try your freeze breath.
229
00:12:14,472 --> 00:12:17,780
-[Supergirl] Nice job.
-[Zor-El] Thanks for
the suggestion.
230
00:12:17,824 --> 00:12:19,913
I also X-rayed
the garbage patch.
231
00:12:19,956 --> 00:12:22,045
It was covered
in toxic chemicals.
232
00:12:22,089 --> 00:12:25,657
Looks like we have Luthor Corp
and the former DEO
to thank for that.
233
00:12:31,272 --> 00:12:33,274
[theme music playing]
234
00:12:37,931 --> 00:12:40,020
While we've seen upswings
235
00:12:40,063 --> 00:12:42,587
for The Times
and the Daily Planet
this quarter,
236
00:12:42,631 --> 00:12:45,416
there's been
a major downward trend
for CatCo Media.
237
00:12:45,460 --> 00:12:48,245
Andrea. Is this a bad time?
238
00:12:48,289 --> 00:12:51,901
I just got a lead on a major
environmental disaster story.
239
00:12:51,945 --> 00:12:53,773
As it relates to Phantoms?
240
00:12:53,816 --> 00:12:55,818
No, a thousand miles
off the coast of National City,
241
00:12:55,862 --> 00:12:58,429
there is a literal island
of garbage.
242
00:12:58,473 --> 00:13:02,607
Kara, that's hardly news,
there's garbage masses
in every ocean.
243
00:13:02,651 --> 00:13:07,438
Right, yes, but this one was
hit by a neglected satellite
today, and caught fire
244
00:13:07,482 --> 00:13:12,313
because this garbage island
has heavy amounts of debris
245
00:13:12,356 --> 00:13:16,839
illegally dumped
by multiple corporations,
including the DEO.
246
00:13:16,883 --> 00:13:18,188
You mean Lex caused this?
247
00:13:20,147 --> 00:13:23,019
William?
248
00:13:23,063 --> 00:13:25,326
I want you to go investigate
this trash island fire
249
00:13:25,369 --> 00:13:27,632
as it relates to Lex Luthor
and his misdeeds.
250
00:13:27,676 --> 00:13:28,938
-Me?
-Him?
251
00:13:28,982 --> 00:13:32,637
Yes. This is the one-two punch
the paper needs.
252
00:13:32,681 --> 00:13:34,944
Two Pulitzer-winning writers
combating crises,
253
00:13:34,988 --> 00:13:36,859
both frightening and domestic.
254
00:13:36,903 --> 00:13:38,339
Not only will we focus
255
00:13:38,382 --> 00:13:40,645
on local security and safety
with the Phantom story,
256
00:13:40,689 --> 00:13:44,040
but also,
we continue exposing Lex
257
00:13:44,084 --> 00:13:46,173
for the global threat
that he is.
258
00:13:46,216 --> 00:13:48,566
William, you still have
contacts at Luthor Corp, right?
259
00:13:48,610 --> 00:13:50,264
Yes, but I've been
having trouble
260
00:13:50,307 --> 00:13:52,353
getting them to disclose
anything since the trial.
261
00:13:52,396 --> 00:13:53,876
Well, make them talk.
262
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,139
Just don't tell me about it.
Plausible deniability.
263
00:13:56,183 --> 00:13:59,403
Andrea, I really think that
because I brought
the trash island story,
264
00:13:59,447 --> 00:14:01,623
and I really should be
the one to cover it--
265
00:14:01,666 --> 00:14:07,716
Kara, every single news source
currently outranking us
is still covering the story.
266
00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:13,287
But thanks to your connections,
CatCo has something
no one else has.
267
00:14:13,330 --> 00:14:17,552
Supergirl. No one has been able
to sit down with her.
268
00:14:17,595 --> 00:14:20,903
You can get us back on top.
269
00:14:20,947 --> 00:14:24,733
Unless for some reason,
you have a problem
covering the Phantoms?
270
00:14:26,213 --> 00:14:29,520
No. No, of course not.
271
00:14:29,564 --> 00:14:31,000
Great.
272
00:14:39,095 --> 00:14:40,096
[sighs]
273
00:14:51,064 --> 00:14:51,891
[snarling]
274
00:14:55,459 --> 00:14:57,070
[exhales]
275
00:14:57,113 --> 00:14:58,549
[Zor-El over comms] Kara.
276
00:14:58,593 --> 00:15:02,118
Kara. It's me, your dad.
277
00:15:02,162 --> 00:15:05,034
[clears throat] Uncle Archie?
What is it?
278
00:15:05,078 --> 00:15:08,168
[Zor-El] After you told me of
Earth's environmental crisis,
279
00:15:08,211 --> 00:15:09,604
I couldn't shake the feeling
280
00:15:09,647 --> 00:15:12,259
that Earth was headed down
the same path as Krypton.
281
00:15:12,302 --> 00:15:16,437
So, I analyzed your oceans,
and I'm afraid
the prognosis is grim.
282
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,396
Your oceans are dying,
just like ours did.
283
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,007
I know, Father.
284
00:15:21,050 --> 00:15:24,967
And I understand your fears,
but it's not just our oceans.
285
00:15:25,011 --> 00:15:29,058
We've been trying to manage
Earth's environmental crises
for years...
286
00:15:29,102 --> 00:15:31,278
but it's... it's complicated.
287
00:15:31,321 --> 00:15:33,193
Supergirl,
I'm glad you're here.
288
00:15:33,236 --> 00:15:36,065
I'm afraid the fire
from this morning
has reignited.
289
00:15:37,458 --> 00:15:39,286
We had it contained.
290
00:15:39,329 --> 00:15:41,331
[J'onn J'onzz] The fuel leak
is coming from
a Dominator Warp Drive.
291
00:15:41,375 --> 00:15:45,031
Brainy and I can break it down
on the molecular level,
rendering it inert.
292
00:15:45,074 --> 00:15:46,946
That should put the fire out.
293
00:15:46,989 --> 00:15:49,774
That should have been done
during the cleanup
after the DEO imploded.
294
00:15:49,818 --> 00:15:51,124
I'm not surprised it wasn't.
295
00:15:51,167 --> 00:15:53,996
Men like Lex
all ascribe to the same motto.
296
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,347
"Cheaper, faster, easier,"
no matter the damage.
297
00:15:57,391 --> 00:16:00,002
Neglect like this
is what destroyed Krypton.
298
00:16:00,046 --> 00:16:02,178
The death of the oceans,
that was the tipping point.
299
00:16:02,222 --> 00:16:05,225
And you're already here.
We have to stop it.
300
00:16:05,268 --> 00:16:09,011
This doesn't have an easy fix,
it's a complicated problem.
301
00:16:09,055 --> 00:16:12,710
Of course.
But if I could access
Krypton's records,
302
00:16:12,754 --> 00:16:15,061
I could really compare
the data and analysis.
303
00:16:15,104 --> 00:16:17,106
Maybe there's something
I missed on Krypton.
304
00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:23,765
Kara, the pod we used
to send you to Earth.
Do you still have it?
305
00:16:23,808 --> 00:16:26,637
It should have retained data
from your launch date.
306
00:16:26,681 --> 00:16:29,814
Actually, I have something
a lot better.
307
00:16:35,037 --> 00:16:36,996
Welcome to Krypton on Earth.
308
00:16:45,439 --> 00:16:49,138
Hey, Lena, have you seen Kara?
I know Zor-El
asked her back here,
309
00:16:49,182 --> 00:16:50,835
but Andrea's
asking about her article,
310
00:16:50,879 --> 00:16:52,620
and she's not
picking up her phone.
311
00:16:52,663 --> 00:16:55,840
That is because she
and Zor-El went to
the Fortress of Solitude.
312
00:16:55,884 --> 00:16:57,755
[keyboard clacking]
313
00:16:57,799 --> 00:17:01,020
That's really great
that they get to share that.
314
00:17:01,063 --> 00:17:02,760
Wait, Nia.
315
00:17:03,761 --> 00:17:05,198
How are you doing?
316
00:17:06,199 --> 00:17:07,852
I'm fine.
317
00:17:07,896 --> 00:17:11,856
I-I know Kara and her father
coming back must be hard.
318
00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:14,511
After everything
we talked about
on the way to the Phantom Zone,
319
00:17:14,555 --> 00:17:17,036
I know how much
you must miss your mother.
320
00:17:19,125 --> 00:17:21,953
I'm really happy for Kara.
321
00:17:21,997 --> 00:17:24,695
Really, I am, it's just...
322
00:17:24,739 --> 00:17:27,046
Reminds you of all the things
you missed out on?
323
00:17:27,089 --> 00:17:28,395
Yeah.
324
00:17:28,438 --> 00:17:29,787
You know I get it.
325
00:17:31,137 --> 00:17:32,616
I know.
326
00:17:34,575 --> 00:17:37,143
Lena, I would do anything
to have another day
with my mom.
327
00:17:40,407 --> 00:17:43,236
I would do anything
to just know my mom.
328
00:17:45,586 --> 00:17:47,718
You know,
my Phantom Fear Vision
was about her?
329
00:17:47,762 --> 00:17:51,766
The water monster?
Did you conquer it?
330
00:17:51,809 --> 00:17:55,944
Didn't we all? Isn't that how
we defeated the Phantoms?
331
00:17:55,987 --> 00:18:00,383
Right. But, I mean,
how did you defeat it?
332
00:18:03,169 --> 00:18:08,826
I let it overtake me, and...
the Kelpie
turned into my mother.
333
00:18:08,870 --> 00:18:10,698
What do you think it means?
334
00:18:10,741 --> 00:18:13,135
I don't know,
you're the dream expert here.
335
00:18:13,179 --> 00:18:17,183
No, no, that's different.
This is personal to you.
336
00:18:17,226 --> 00:18:21,100
But you'll figure it out.
And I'm here
to help any way I can.
337
00:18:27,976 --> 00:18:31,153
I remember when your aunt
and uncle made the plan
for this place.
338
00:18:32,459 --> 00:18:34,591
I just didn't think
it was possible.
339
00:18:34,635 --> 00:18:38,160
Yeah, Kal-El tried to get me
to come here for years.
[breathes deeply]
340
00:18:38,204 --> 00:18:40,206
I thought it would
make me homesick.
341
00:18:40,249 --> 00:18:44,123
That it would be too painful
to face all those memories.
342
00:18:45,254 --> 00:18:48,692
I can understand that.
343
00:18:52,653 --> 00:18:57,223
I am so sorry, Kara.
I should have done more
to save our planet.
344
00:18:57,266 --> 00:18:59,790
You did everything you could.
345
00:18:59,834 --> 00:19:04,621
You sacrificed yourself
to save us.
You were a hero, Father.
346
00:19:06,188 --> 00:19:08,147
I ripped you from your home.
347
00:19:08,190 --> 00:19:11,933
And I found a new one. Here.
348
00:19:11,976 --> 00:19:16,416
And I promise you.
This time, I will save it.
349
00:19:16,459 --> 00:19:19,070
I will not let what happened
to Krypton happen here.
350
00:19:22,117 --> 00:19:23,988
If Kal-El is anything
like his father,
351
00:19:24,032 --> 00:19:26,339
all of Krypton's records
should be stored in here.
352
00:19:32,562 --> 00:19:33,563
[screaming]
353
00:19:36,305 --> 00:19:37,524
[screaming]
354
00:19:37,567 --> 00:19:39,700
[Sentinel] Kara! No!
355
00:19:42,703 --> 00:19:44,661
Kara, are you okay?
356
00:19:45,314 --> 00:19:46,402
Yes.
357
00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:52,191
I'm just surprised
that everything's
still in order after--
358
00:19:52,234 --> 00:19:55,890
Of course it is.
That's what I'm here for.
359
00:19:55,933 --> 00:19:57,326
You have a Kelex!
360
00:19:57,370 --> 00:19:59,023
[both chuckle]
361
00:19:59,067 --> 00:20:02,026
Kelex, my father is looking for
scientific data about Krypton.
362
00:20:02,070 --> 00:20:04,681
Specifically, from the time
right before
the planet exploded.
363
00:20:04,725 --> 00:20:06,727
I will pull up
everything I have.
364
00:20:08,076 --> 00:20:09,904
Kara...
365
00:20:11,384 --> 00:20:13,908
I think I know
how to save your oceans.
366
00:20:16,084 --> 00:20:20,001
[Andrea] "Determining who's
responsible for these
so-called garbage islands
367
00:20:20,044 --> 00:20:23,526
proves just as messy
as cleaning up
the islands themselves."
368
00:20:23,570 --> 00:20:25,572
You sound like
a human sleep-aid.
369
00:20:25,615 --> 00:20:28,749
-[chuckles]
-What happened to
the Luthor Corp angle?
370
00:20:28,792 --> 00:20:32,361
We know Lex's mismanagement
of the DEO
is responsible for this.
371
00:20:32,405 --> 00:20:33,971
[William] We actually don't.
372
00:20:34,015 --> 00:20:36,060
When I finally got
my Luthor Corp source
on the phone,
373
00:20:36,104 --> 00:20:39,673
he said Lex had hired
a third party to
dispose of the DEO waste.
374
00:20:39,716 --> 00:20:41,109
And it wasn't even illegal.
375
00:20:41,152 --> 00:20:43,938
They exploited a loophole
in government regulations.
376
00:20:43,981 --> 00:20:46,245
If anything, the system's
to blame for the fire.
377
00:20:46,288 --> 00:20:51,075
The unseen toxicity of Lex
is the fire. Figure it out.
378
00:21:03,784 --> 00:21:05,481
The fire is 100% contained.
379
00:21:05,525 --> 00:21:08,658
Good. I am running a scan
on that garbage mass.
380
00:21:08,702 --> 00:21:10,312
Just cataloguing
what other DEO remnants
381
00:21:10,356 --> 00:21:12,532
might not have
been properly disposed of.
382
00:21:12,575 --> 00:21:14,882
I can only imagine
how long that list is gonna be.
383
00:21:17,841 --> 00:21:19,930
Hey, how was the Fortress?
384
00:21:19,974 --> 00:21:23,194
I mean, since you've been back.
Are you okay?
385
00:21:23,238 --> 00:21:25,806
Yeah, I'm fine.
386
00:21:25,849 --> 00:21:27,764
But this planet isn't.
387
00:21:27,808 --> 00:21:29,679
At the Fortress,
we ran a full comparison
388
00:21:29,723 --> 00:21:33,379
of Earth's oceanic readings
to Krypton's
just before it exploded.
389
00:21:33,422 --> 00:21:35,468
As I thought,
390
00:21:35,511 --> 00:21:37,818
your oceans' toxicity levels
have put Earth in the same
trajectory as Krypton.
391
00:21:37,861 --> 00:21:39,254
But perhaps, he can help.
392
00:21:43,867 --> 00:21:45,826
This is Oscar.
393
00:21:45,869 --> 00:21:51,658
Looks like Kelex,
just with some ugly
'80s style shoulder pads.
394
00:21:51,701 --> 00:21:56,315
It was Kelex, but my father
figured out a way
to add some modifications
395
00:21:56,358 --> 00:21:59,100
that will enable him to clean
Earth's oceans right now.
396
00:21:59,143 --> 00:22:01,450
-Is Oscar an acronym?
-Oh, no. He's named
397
00:22:01,494 --> 00:22:04,323
after that irritable
green creature who lives
with the garbage.
398
00:22:04,366 --> 00:22:06,281
Yes, he binge-watched
Sesame Street
399
00:22:06,325 --> 00:22:08,152
while I was recovering
under the sun lamps.
400
00:22:08,196 --> 00:22:10,285
Crash course in Earth customs.
401
00:22:10,329 --> 00:22:12,243
Did you upgrade him
with Coluan technology?
402
00:22:12,287 --> 00:22:14,333
I would hardly
call it an upgrade.
403
00:22:15,029 --> 00:22:16,291
I...
404
00:22:16,335 --> 00:22:18,075
I attached
a Coluan energy core,
405
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,296
so Oscar can shrink trash
and convert it
into energy in seconds.
406
00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:24,168
Oscar will then
absorb that energy,
rendering it harmless.
407
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,831
Okay. I will admit that
that is very impressive.
408
00:22:34,875 --> 00:22:37,834
But the Earth
is covered in 70% water.
409
00:22:37,878 --> 00:22:40,315
Do you really think
that Oscar can handle that?
410
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,971
Yes. And this is something
I could never have
achieved on Krypton.
411
00:22:44,014 --> 00:22:45,799
Your planet has
an amazing melting pot
412
00:22:45,842 --> 00:22:48,584
of alien technology that we
never had access to on Krypton.
413
00:22:48,628 --> 00:22:51,152
That's what concerns me.
414
00:22:51,195 --> 00:22:54,416
Some alien technology
interacts poorly with others.
415
00:22:54,460 --> 00:22:57,158
-Plus, I saw Kryptonite
out there.
-Kryptonite?
416
00:22:57,201 --> 00:23:01,031
Yes, but you must have been
too far away from the garbage
to feel its effect.
417
00:23:01,075 --> 00:23:03,251
But that's my point.
We don't know the full scope
418
00:23:03,294 --> 00:23:05,514
of the garbage
on those islands.
419
00:23:05,558 --> 00:23:06,776
We should run
a full system check
420
00:23:06,820 --> 00:23:08,865
before we release
Zor-El's invention.
421
00:23:08,909 --> 00:23:10,084
[Zor-El] I understand
your concern.
422
00:23:10,127 --> 00:23:11,738
I wish I could give you
an exact timeline
423
00:23:11,781 --> 00:23:14,218
of when Earth will reach
Krypton's tipping point.
424
00:23:14,262 --> 00:23:15,611
But that's the thing.
425
00:23:15,655 --> 00:23:18,397
Once you can see
the tipping point,
it's too late.
426
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,747
That's why we need to act now.
427
00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:27,406
Okay. But I want him recalled
at the first sign of distress.
428
00:23:28,494 --> 00:23:29,625
Of course.
429
00:23:50,994 --> 00:23:53,344
-It's working.
-So it would seem.
430
00:23:54,476 --> 00:23:56,130
Brainy?
431
00:23:56,173 --> 00:23:59,350
Uh, Oscar is converting
the garbage
even more efficiently
432
00:23:59,394 --> 00:24:02,658
than Zor-El's model suggested.
433
00:24:02,702 --> 00:24:05,487
I apologize for my skepticism.
434
00:24:05,531 --> 00:24:08,838
That's not necessary.
I'm just happy
I'm able to help.
435
00:24:13,060 --> 00:24:16,150
No, they can't pull their ads.
We're turning things around.
436
00:24:16,193 --> 00:24:18,239
-You... Tell them.
-[cell phone chimes]
437
00:24:21,764 --> 00:24:22,939
Let me call you back.
438
00:24:30,338 --> 00:24:31,165
[beeps]
439
00:24:44,483 --> 00:24:45,745
[thunder rumbling]
440
00:24:55,581 --> 00:24:59,236
[gasps softly] William's source
was telling the truth.
441
00:25:00,542 --> 00:25:02,675
[sighs] There's got to be
something here.
442
00:25:12,815 --> 00:25:14,513
Jackpot.
443
00:25:23,434 --> 00:25:24,435
[alarm beeping]
444
00:25:26,089 --> 00:25:27,090
[beeping continues]
445
00:25:28,701 --> 00:25:30,180
What is it?
446
00:25:30,224 --> 00:25:34,184
Getting some odd fluctuations
in Oscar's energy core.
447
00:25:34,228 --> 00:25:36,404
His mass is increasing, too.
448
00:25:36,447 --> 00:25:38,537
He seems to be adding garbage
to his body,
449
00:25:38,580 --> 00:25:39,842
not converting it to energy.
450
00:25:39,886 --> 00:25:41,148
We need to bring him back.
451
00:25:41,191 --> 00:25:42,410
I'll recall him.
452
00:25:42,453 --> 00:25:43,454
[keyboard clacking]
453
00:25:44,064 --> 00:25:45,544
[computer beeps]
454
00:25:45,587 --> 00:25:47,023
I've issued the return command,
but he's not responding.
455
00:25:52,072 --> 00:25:53,639
[alarm blaring]
456
00:25:57,468 --> 00:25:58,644
[Supergirl] I'll go get him.
457
00:25:58,687 --> 00:26:00,297
-Brainy, the coordinates?
-I've lost him.
458
00:26:00,341 --> 00:26:02,648
Visuals are gone, and he's
disappeared off the radar.
459
00:26:02,691 --> 00:26:04,258
There are major shipping lanes
in that area.
460
00:26:04,301 --> 00:26:07,217
If Oscar malfunctions,
he could endanger cargo ships.
461
00:26:07,261 --> 00:26:08,567
Try satellite imaging.
462
00:26:09,872 --> 00:26:12,396
There's no trace of him.
He's gone.
463
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:13,876
J'onn and I will find him.
464
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,617
Brainy, you stay here
with my father,
465
00:26:15,661 --> 00:26:17,967
figure out what went wrong
and how to fix it.
466
00:26:18,011 --> 00:26:19,403
[Brainy] Don't forget,
there's Kryptonite.
467
00:26:27,934 --> 00:26:30,240
-You lost a radioactive Kelex?
-Oscar.
468
00:26:30,284 --> 00:26:32,460
Supergirl and J'onn are out
scanning for him right now.
469
00:26:32,503 --> 00:26:34,897
We're looking for anything
that he might have absorbed
470
00:26:34,941 --> 00:26:36,464
that would
corrupt his programming,
471
00:26:36,507 --> 00:26:37,813
and make him disappear.
472
00:26:37,857 --> 00:26:38,684
[device beeps]
473
00:26:39,728 --> 00:26:40,947
[Zor-El] The DEO
had Daxamite tech?
474
00:26:42,601 --> 00:26:43,645
-Yeah.
-That might explain
475
00:26:43,689 --> 00:26:44,733
his new cloaking abilities.
476
00:26:44,777 --> 00:26:46,169
I have some experience
with that.
477
00:26:46,213 --> 00:26:47,388
I should be
able to de-cloak him
478
00:26:47,431 --> 00:26:49,912
by sending out
a signal wave blast.
479
00:26:49,956 --> 00:26:52,785
Zor-El, you used
Coluan shrinking tech. Smart.
480
00:26:52,828 --> 00:26:55,526
I did something similar
with a high-pressure
energy compactor
481
00:26:55,570 --> 00:26:56,919
at L-Corp.
482
00:26:56,963 --> 00:26:59,879
It's a attractive idea,
but a delicate process.
483
00:26:59,922 --> 00:27:03,447
Shrinking energy
doesn't get rid of it.
It still has to go somewhere.
484
00:27:03,491 --> 00:27:07,060
That energy
is what powers Oscar.
He's self-sufficient.
485
00:27:07,103 --> 00:27:10,106
Unless he's been compromised
by one of my brother's
unholy experiments.
486
00:27:10,150 --> 00:27:11,586
[computer beeping]
487
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,720
That's Oscar's
Coluan energy core.
Why is it red?
488
00:27:14,763 --> 00:27:16,635
[Lena] All that energy
has overloaded him.
489
00:27:16,678 --> 00:27:18,114
If it gets any higher,
it's going to detonate
490
00:27:18,158 --> 00:27:19,725
with the force
of an atomic bomb.
491
00:27:19,768 --> 00:27:21,291
We have to find him.
492
00:27:21,335 --> 00:27:23,250
-His trail's gone cold.
-[keyboard clacking]
493
00:27:23,293 --> 00:27:25,905
A cold. That's it.
That's how we can reset him.
494
00:27:25,948 --> 00:27:28,429
We give him a virus.
A computer virus.
495
00:27:28,472 --> 00:27:29,691
Brainy, that's genius.
496
00:27:29,735 --> 00:27:31,606
If we can't restore
Oscar's programming,
497
00:27:31,650 --> 00:27:33,782
we can give him a virus
and shut him down completely.
498
00:27:33,826 --> 00:27:35,305
I know Kelex's
operating frequencies,
499
00:27:35,349 --> 00:27:37,046
so we just need
to get the virus
500
00:27:37,090 --> 00:27:38,918
within a few centimeters
of his hard drive
for it to take effect.
501
00:27:38,961 --> 00:27:40,136
I can deliver it with a drone.
502
00:27:40,180 --> 00:27:41,660
But a virus will destroy Oscar.
503
00:27:41,703 --> 00:27:44,314
If we don't destroy him,
he will destroy us.
504
00:27:44,358 --> 00:27:47,535
No! I can still fix him!
He can still save Krypton!
505
00:27:53,497 --> 00:27:57,893
Earth. He can still save Earth.
506
00:27:57,937 --> 00:28:00,330
My signal wave blast
is nearly complete.
507
00:28:00,374 --> 00:28:02,158
Oscar should be
de-cloaking any second.
508
00:28:02,202 --> 00:28:03,551
Brainy, get that virus ready.
509
00:28:03,594 --> 00:28:04,726
-[computer beeps]
-Wait.
510
00:28:04,770 --> 00:28:06,815
[Alex] No, we don't
have time to wait.
511
00:28:06,859 --> 00:28:09,992
You heard Lena.
This thing could
explode at any minute,
512
00:28:10,036 --> 00:28:12,560
killing hundreds
of thousands of people.
513
00:28:12,603 --> 00:28:15,737
Look, I know that you wanted
to help. I get that.
514
00:28:15,781 --> 00:28:18,174
But we have to
shut this robot down now
515
00:28:18,218 --> 00:28:21,700
before he does
any more damage. So...
516
00:28:21,743 --> 00:28:25,225
all due respect,
but you either help Brainy
with the virus,
517
00:28:25,268 --> 00:28:26,748
or you step aside.
518
00:28:29,403 --> 00:28:30,404
[sighs]
519
00:28:33,059 --> 00:28:35,888
I altered
Kelex's programming frequency
when I made the upgrades.
520
00:28:35,931 --> 00:28:37,237
Let me show you.
521
00:28:39,326 --> 00:28:41,154
When Oscar reappears,
we need to be ready.
522
00:28:52,513 --> 00:28:53,514
[roaring]
523
00:29:12,315 --> 00:29:13,708
[Supergirl] My God.
524
00:29:14,970 --> 00:29:17,843
You said he bonded
with the trash, but this...
525
00:29:17,886 --> 00:29:19,714
He's picked up a Teallian
along the way.
526
00:29:19,758 --> 00:29:21,672
Lex must have brought one
to the DEO.
527
00:29:21,716 --> 00:29:23,326
It's a parasitic creature
that forces
528
00:29:23,370 --> 00:29:25,807
even inanimate objects
to adapt to survive.
529
00:29:25,851 --> 00:29:28,462
It's impossible to remove
once it's attached to a host.
530
00:29:28,505 --> 00:29:30,769
So, now,
Oscar's protecting the garbage.
531
00:29:30,812 --> 00:29:32,466
[Lena] His Coluan energy core
is spiking.
532
00:29:32,509 --> 00:29:34,511
If that detonates,
the atomic blast
is going to spread inland.
533
00:29:34,555 --> 00:29:37,514
Copy that. Dreamer and I will
evacuate the civilians.
534
00:29:37,558 --> 00:29:39,908
Brainy, launch that drone, now.
535
00:29:42,693 --> 00:29:44,043
Sprock.
536
00:29:44,086 --> 00:29:45,871
Lena, I lost the drone
with the virus in it.
537
00:29:45,914 --> 00:29:47,524
-Can you recall it?
-Standby.
538
00:29:49,265 --> 00:29:51,964
Brainy, I'm trying,
but I can't control it.
539
00:29:52,007 --> 00:29:56,142
-I think we can grab the drone.
-Wait. I did a psychic scan.
540
00:29:56,185 --> 00:29:58,231
Oscar is protected
by a force field.
541
00:29:58,274 --> 00:30:00,189
He must have acquired it
from the DEO tech.
542
00:30:00,233 --> 00:30:02,235
And trying to breach it
could cause a backlash.
543
00:30:02,278 --> 00:30:04,759
Brainy, that force field
is keeping me
from accessing the drone.
544
00:30:04,803 --> 00:30:06,326
[Zor-El] You've to find
a way to get close enough
545
00:30:06,369 --> 00:30:08,197
to the drone
to release the virus manually.
546
00:30:08,241 --> 00:30:09,372
On it.
547
00:30:09,416 --> 00:30:10,591
[Supergirl] How will you
get close enough?
548
00:30:10,634 --> 00:30:12,636
I need to get him
to think I'm trash.
549
00:30:13,376 --> 00:30:14,943
Kelex!
550
00:30:14,987 --> 00:30:17,511
Kelex, you stupid idiot!
Can you hear me?
551
00:30:18,947 --> 00:30:20,035
Wow!
552
00:30:20,079 --> 00:30:21,863
Look how big and dumb you are!
553
00:30:23,734 --> 00:30:26,302
A junkyard? Come on!
554
00:30:26,346 --> 00:30:29,001
You sorry excuse for a Roomba!
555
00:30:29,044 --> 00:30:30,524
I know you know the truth.
556
00:30:30,567 --> 00:30:34,833
Without that Coluan power core,
you're nothing!
557
00:30:38,532 --> 00:30:40,490
I regret nothing!
558
00:30:40,534 --> 00:30:42,275
-We need to help him.
-[Brainy screaming]
559
00:30:43,319 --> 00:30:44,407
[Zor-El] Brainy, are you okay?
560
00:30:44,451 --> 00:30:45,669
[Brainy] I'm shifting
through trash.
561
00:30:45,713 --> 00:30:47,106
Just a little further to Kelex.
562
00:30:50,022 --> 00:30:51,371
[both groaning]
563
00:30:51,414 --> 00:30:53,590
-[Supergirl groaning]
-Supergirl!
564
00:30:53,634 --> 00:30:55,462
Supergirl, that is
a Teallian proto-ray.
565
00:30:55,505 --> 00:30:57,072
Your suit's been breached.
566
00:30:57,116 --> 00:30:58,334
It's not gonna protect you
from the Kryptonite.
567
00:30:58,378 --> 00:31:00,032
[breathing heavily]
568
00:31:11,739 --> 00:31:13,567
[Sentinel] Kara! No!
569
00:31:15,395 --> 00:31:17,876
I'm not gonna be the reason
Kara's trapped in here.
570
00:31:36,590 --> 00:31:38,548
[Lena] Brainy,
where are you with the virus?
571
00:31:38,592 --> 00:31:39,419
[Brainy] I'm working on it.
572
00:31:41,247 --> 00:31:43,379
[all grunt]
573
00:31:43,423 --> 00:31:45,381
I think I got it.
574
00:31:45,425 --> 00:31:47,644
Virus has been deployed.
The Coluan energy core
is shutting down in three...
575
00:31:48,558 --> 00:31:50,343
two, one.
576
00:31:50,386 --> 00:31:51,257
Everyone, take cover.
577
00:31:58,699 --> 00:32:01,789
-Are you all right?
-Yeah, we're all right.
Right, Supergirl?
578
00:32:11,059 --> 00:32:11,930
[Brainy grunts]
579
00:32:14,149 --> 00:32:15,455
I got him.
580
00:32:15,498 --> 00:32:17,413
-You did it.
-[Lena] No, we did it.
581
00:32:17,457 --> 00:32:19,633
Brainy would never have
been able to make that virus
without your help.
582
00:32:24,159 --> 00:32:26,770
[Kelex] You didn't really
mean all those things
you said, did you?
583
00:32:26,814 --> 00:32:27,989
I meant every word.
584
00:32:28,685 --> 00:32:29,860
What a mess.
585
00:32:30,470 --> 00:32:31,297
I got this.
586
00:32:53,275 --> 00:32:55,974
I took Kelex
back to the Fortress.
587
00:32:56,017 --> 00:32:58,193
He'll be all right.
588
00:32:58,237 --> 00:33:00,239
We can go see him tomorrow,
if you want.
589
00:33:03,764 --> 00:33:04,808
No.
590
00:33:07,507 --> 00:33:12,947
I need to return to Argo City,
and finally face your mother.
591
00:33:12,991 --> 00:33:14,340
Face her?
592
00:33:14,383 --> 00:33:16,646
When I found out you
and your mother were alive...
593
00:33:18,039 --> 00:33:20,824
it was the happiest moment
of my life.
594
00:33:21,869 --> 00:33:24,002
And I miss her so much, Kara.
595
00:33:24,872 --> 00:33:26,743
In the Phantom Zone,
596
00:33:26,787 --> 00:33:29,746
the memory of her and you
were what kept me alive.
597
00:33:29,790 --> 00:33:34,012
But now seeing her again,
isn't just some far off dream.
598
00:33:36,362 --> 00:33:38,886
It's... an inevitability.
599
00:33:41,193 --> 00:33:42,846
And the thought
of looking her in the eye
600
00:33:42,890 --> 00:33:45,806
and seeing all of my mistakes
reflected back on me...
601
00:33:45,849 --> 00:33:46,850
[breath shaking]
602
00:33:49,897 --> 00:33:52,030
I didn't think I could handle
the weight of that guilt.
603
00:33:53,901 --> 00:33:56,599
You did everything you could
to save Krypton.
604
00:33:57,644 --> 00:34:00,081
I did.
605
00:34:00,125 --> 00:34:03,519
And that made me
part of the problem.
606
00:34:03,563 --> 00:34:08,089
I made rash decisions
out of hubris
and made everything worse.
607
00:34:08,133 --> 00:34:10,613
Then when I saw your planet
heading in the same direction,
608
00:34:10,657 --> 00:34:14,313
I thought,
if I could just fix Earth,
609
00:34:14,356 --> 00:34:17,229
I could
earn my way back to her.
610
00:34:18,273 --> 00:34:20,058
I was so focused
on avoiding the past,
611
00:34:20,101 --> 00:34:22,756
I ran headfirst
into all my old mistakes.
612
00:34:25,150 --> 00:34:27,108
I definitely understand that.
613
00:34:28,762 --> 00:34:31,286
I may have made
a lot of mistakes in my life.
614
00:34:32,461 --> 00:34:36,422
But the one thing
that went right, was you.
615
00:34:36,465 --> 00:34:40,165
You are strong and caring
and have built
a beautiful life.
616
00:34:41,166 --> 00:34:43,342
But, Kara...
617
00:34:45,431 --> 00:34:47,737
you don't need to carry
the weight of this world
618
00:34:47,781 --> 00:34:51,001
or any world on your shoulders
every moment of every day.
619
00:34:52,002 --> 00:34:53,003
[sighs]
620
00:34:55,702 --> 00:34:58,966
Sometimes, even though
you're Kryptonian...
621
00:35:01,229 --> 00:35:03,492
it's okay to be human.
622
00:35:07,670 --> 00:35:12,371
Zor-El, Brainy's set
to take you back to Argo City
whenever you're ready.
623
00:35:18,507 --> 00:35:20,553
Almost 40 years
in the Phantom Zone
624
00:35:20,596 --> 00:35:23,469
was worth it
just to see you again.
625
00:35:25,210 --> 00:35:26,863
I'm gonna miss you
so much, Father.
626
00:35:39,876 --> 00:35:42,401
Andrea, you published
my article.
627
00:35:43,793 --> 00:35:47,232
I thought you wouldn't do it
unless I trashed Lex.
628
00:35:47,275 --> 00:35:50,452
Your article was good, William.
It didn't need
the Luthor Corp angle.
629
00:35:50,496 --> 00:35:53,629
Not to mention
the photo you got
of this giant trash robot.
630
00:35:53,673 --> 00:35:55,805
-It's a real attention-grabber.
-[chuckles]
631
00:35:55,849 --> 00:35:57,807
-It is?
-Yes.
632
00:35:57,851 --> 00:35:59,461
But I also realized something.
633
00:35:59,505 --> 00:36:04,162
These attacks on National City,
we've been killing ourselves
634
00:36:04,205 --> 00:36:07,252
trying to cover them
like every other news outlet.
635
00:36:07,295 --> 00:36:11,517
But the real story...
is who's stopping them.
636
00:36:14,737 --> 00:36:16,478
Supergirl and her friends?
637
00:36:16,522 --> 00:36:19,960
"Super Friends?" Huh.
638
00:36:20,003 --> 00:36:22,528
That's good. I like that.
Let's run with that.
639
00:36:23,529 --> 00:36:24,965
Run with what, exactly?
640
00:36:25,008 --> 00:36:26,184
Our future.
641
00:36:27,315 --> 00:36:30,144
CatCo made Supergirl.
642
00:36:30,188 --> 00:36:33,843
And they have enjoyed
a mutually beneficial
relationship ever since.
643
00:36:33,887 --> 00:36:37,238
But like Supergirl,
we need to think bigger.
644
00:36:37,282 --> 00:36:41,199
It's not just
how these heroes save the day.
645
00:36:41,242 --> 00:36:45,203
It's why. What drives them
to do what they do.
646
00:36:46,334 --> 00:36:48,031
I want a full profile
on these heroes,
647
00:36:48,075 --> 00:36:50,512
and I want a lasting
relationship with all of them.
648
00:36:50,556 --> 00:36:53,254
Track their every move,
until we're the ones they call
649
00:36:53,298 --> 00:36:56,649
before they go fight
a giant robot or a Phantom.
650
00:36:56,692 --> 00:37:00,522
Okay. But they're superheroes,
and we're only human.
651
00:37:00,566 --> 00:37:03,395
How do we
cover their every move?
652
00:37:03,438 --> 00:37:06,833
Well, you're
the investigative journalist.
You'll figure it out.
653
00:37:18,410 --> 00:37:19,411
[cell phone vibrating]
654
00:37:22,849 --> 00:37:24,459
[line beeps]
655
00:37:24,503 --> 00:37:26,418
Hey, Lena, is everything okay?
656
00:37:26,461 --> 00:37:28,811
[Lena] Yeah, everything's
actually good.
657
00:37:28,855 --> 00:37:32,946
I just got off the phone
with Kara,
but I wanted to call you.
658
00:37:32,989 --> 00:37:35,165
I finally understand
what the Kelpie means.
659
00:37:35,209 --> 00:37:37,907
Y-You did? What's it mean?
660
00:37:37,951 --> 00:37:39,953
That I don't have to
feel guilty anymore.
661
00:37:39,996 --> 00:37:42,172
I've spent my entire life
feeling responsible
662
00:37:42,216 --> 00:37:47,090
for my mother's death,
even though I know
it's not true, but...
663
00:37:47,134 --> 00:37:50,746
every time I thought about her,
I would just
be drowning in guilt.
664
00:37:52,574 --> 00:37:56,230
Facing that Phantom
allowed me to break through
and finally let go.
665
00:37:57,492 --> 00:37:59,712
-That's great.
-It also made me realize
666
00:37:59,755 --> 00:38:03,237
that all of that guilt was
keeping me from knowing
who my mother really was.
667
00:38:03,281 --> 00:38:06,719
So... I've decided
to change that.
668
00:38:08,634 --> 00:38:10,288
I'm gonna go home.
669
00:38:11,985 --> 00:38:13,987
-Uh, to Luthor Mansion?
-No.
670
00:38:14,814 --> 00:38:15,989
To where I was born.
671
00:38:18,992 --> 00:38:20,385
Thank you, Nia.
672
00:38:21,168 --> 00:38:22,169
Sure.
673
00:38:34,921 --> 00:38:37,880
[Alex] Okay. This is like...
I'm... [sighs]
674
00:38:37,924 --> 00:38:40,448
Okay. I'm not going to
let the chopsticks
defeat me tonight.
675
00:38:40,492 --> 00:38:42,755
But you, you're gonna
have to open the wine.
676
00:38:44,191 --> 00:38:47,194
I, I tried. There we go.
677
00:38:48,108 --> 00:38:49,979
[sighs] Okay.
678
00:38:53,113 --> 00:38:56,856
It was so cold in there.
679
00:38:56,899 --> 00:38:58,858
-When?
-In the...
680
00:39:00,076 --> 00:39:02,035
Phantom Zone.
681
00:39:03,036 --> 00:39:05,691
-Oh, Kara--
-So empty.
682
00:39:05,734 --> 00:39:08,258
[inhales sharply]
Every breath felt like...
683
00:39:10,086 --> 00:39:11,218
like ice.
684
00:39:14,526 --> 00:39:16,484
And I was so weak.
685
00:39:16,528 --> 00:39:19,182
It's okay. You don't have to
talk about this, okay?
686
00:39:19,226 --> 00:39:21,620
-Remember?
-No, no, no, I-I want to.
687
00:39:23,970 --> 00:39:25,319
I need to.
688
00:39:26,276 --> 00:39:27,452
Okay.
689
00:39:31,151 --> 00:39:34,197
I don't want
to be alone anymore.
690
00:39:34,241 --> 00:39:38,071
You are not alone.
You've got me.
691
00:39:44,164 --> 00:39:45,208
It's okay.
692
00:39:45,252 --> 00:39:48,864
I think I just, I just...
693
00:39:48,908 --> 00:39:52,128
so desperately wanted
to get away from
the Phantom Zone, that I...
694
00:39:53,434 --> 00:39:55,741
didn't let myself process...
695
00:39:57,612 --> 00:39:59,397
how much I went through...
696
00:40:00,963 --> 00:40:03,139
how afraid I was.
697
00:40:05,968 --> 00:40:06,969
[Alex exhales]
698
00:40:09,755 --> 00:40:12,584
What if that fear
never goes away?
699
00:40:14,673 --> 00:40:16,936
You know...
700
00:40:16,979 --> 00:40:21,984
when I, uh, when I thought
that we couldn't
get you back...
701
00:40:22,028 --> 00:40:25,901
I just wanted to give up.
I mean, like...
702
00:40:25,945 --> 00:40:27,816
Like I couldn't get out of bed.
I couldn't...
703
00:40:28,948 --> 00:40:31,646
You know? And now,
that we did get you back,
704
00:40:31,690 --> 00:40:36,477
I still feel like
you could slip away
at any moment.
705
00:40:36,521 --> 00:40:38,610
I felt that way today, too.
706
00:40:39,611 --> 00:40:42,309
And I'm so sorry.
707
00:40:42,352 --> 00:40:45,094
Because all I want to do
is just shield you
from any more pain,
708
00:40:45,138 --> 00:40:47,967
that I just
didn't even think...
709
00:40:49,316 --> 00:40:52,667
the only way out, is through.
710
00:40:54,626 --> 00:40:57,367
And we're going
to get through this together.
711
00:41:01,067 --> 00:41:02,372
Healing together.
712
00:41:03,983 --> 00:41:04,897
Yeah.
713
00:41:08,509 --> 00:41:11,338
Iris West-Allen wrote a piece
for the Central City Citizen
714
00:41:11,381 --> 00:41:14,341
about how the city
came together after an attack.
715
00:41:16,169 --> 00:41:17,997
That's what I need
to write my piece on.
716
00:41:20,565 --> 00:41:24,133
That is a very noble
and a very courageous
thing to do.
717
00:41:26,005 --> 00:41:27,006
Thank you.
718
00:41:29,835 --> 00:41:32,054
And we need to get you a fork
because I am not gonna
719
00:41:32,098 --> 00:41:35,318
let you embarrass yourself
trying to use these chopsticks.
720
00:41:35,362 --> 00:41:37,451
[Alex]
I'll show you chopsticks.
721
00:41:37,495 --> 00:41:38,496
[Kara laughs] Oh, no.
722
00:41:39,279 --> 00:41:40,280
[laughter]
723
00:41:42,021 --> 00:41:43,022
[thunder rumbling]
724
00:41:46,112 --> 00:41:47,113
-[thunderclap]
-[gasps]
725
00:41:48,114 --> 00:41:49,115
[breathing heavily]
726
00:41:50,246 --> 00:41:51,247
Nyxly.
727
00:41:56,209 --> 00:41:58,254
