All language subtitles for Supergirl S02E22 Nevertheless, She Persisted

Kara: This season
on supergirl...

-Up, up?
-And away.

My name is m'gann m'orzz.
I'm the last daughter of Mars.

Hank henshaw:
You're a white martian?

M'gann: I wanted
to be your friend.

Hank henshaw:
You're my friend.

I'm going back to Mars.

Goodbye, miss martian.

So, our mystery alien
is from daxam.

It's a sister world
to Krypton.

-May name is mon-El.
-Daxam is still there,

but it's a wasteland.

I wanna be a superhero.

I wanna help you,
keep the world spinning.

I've never felt
like this about...

About anyone.

Kara and I are dating.
Yes, it's awesome.

These are my parents,
queen rhea
and king lar gand of daxam.

I'm done being your prince.

Rhea: Krypton has taken
everything from me.

-We will move on.
-Rhea: We won't.

You betrayed me, my love.

Thanks for stopping by, mom.

Welcome to new daxam.

Cat: It's cat Grant.

I've been away for a while,

but I'm back.

Rhea: You really thought
you'd won.

Superman?

This is my planet.

These are my people.

And I will not let you
harm them.

What have you done to him?

I once told you
that my planet was riddled

with the corpse of yours.

But not only green kryptonite
rained down from the skies.

There are so many more ways
to harm your kind

than to simply weaken you.

Silver kryptonite.

Your cousin is
so much like you.

Reckless, stupid.

Barreling headfirst
into danger.

I couldn't have set
a better trap if I tried.

Kal?

It's me, Kara!

Oh, he doesn't see you.

He sees his worst enemy.

You should have
stayed away, Zod.

Your carcass will lie
dead at my feet, Kal-El.

And the people of this planet
will kneel before me!

Kal, listen to me.

You're his mortal enemy,
supergirl.

The person he fears most.

You will take
everything from him,

so, this time,
he will not hesitate.

This time,
he will protect his planet.

-This time...
-I'll stop you forever.

Don't be afraid!

I will destroy your world.

Stay away from them!

Man:
Everybody stay calm!

Keep moving!

Right this way, folks!

- Sawyer: What is that,
the Cannon?

Alex: No, it's something else.

The deo system registered
a major kryptonite signature
in downtown national city.

Oh, my god. Kara.

What the hell?

I will kill everyone you love!

You have to fight it!

Hey, hey!

It's okay, I got you.
I'm here.

I'm here.

Let's just stay here
a little while longer, okay?

How long?

Until tomorrow.

Okay, woman of tomorrow.

You always wear this.
It's... it's beautiful.

-You know, it was my mother's.
-Really?

Yeah, she gave it to me
the day I left Krypton.

Hmm.

I had just watched little
Kal-El launch into space.

Our world was falling apart
around her,

and even in the
middle of that,

she looked at me
and smiled and said,

as long as I had this,
i would never be alone.

She'd be with me in my dreams.

I know we can't stay all day,

but let's just stay
a little while longer, please?

But, Kara, you're not here.

What?

You're in the fortress.

Hey, hey, you're okay.

What happened?

Well, you passed out
and then you woke up,

-flew us here
and you passed out again.
-Ah!

-Easy...
-I feel like...

Like you got
punched by superman?

- Repeatedly.
- Yeah.

Kal!

Kara?

What happened?

That chessboard's
been in the Luthor family
for generations.

Did you come here
to yell at me for not treating

the family heirlooms
with respect,

or to blame me
for what's happening outside?

How could you
let that woman deceive you?

I taught you
to be a scientist.

To question everything.

No, what you taught me
was to doubt myself.

To look for
validation elsewhere,

so much that I was willing
to take it from

the first mentor
that offered it to me.

I'm sorry.

I am, Lena.

When you came
to visit me in jail,

I honestly wanted to be
a better mother to you.

But every time
I've had the opportunity

to choose you
over something else...

I've chosen something else.

Well, congratulations
on saying

the first honest thing
in your life.

I have justified
the worst behavior

for the best of causes.

But I was right.

The threat was real.

But maybe I backed
the wrong child to stop it.

The transmat portal
you created...

That was brilliant, Lena.

And if you could do that
with the portal,

maybe you could
do something with this.

Is that from Lex's vault?

He created it
to get rid of superman.

Does it work?

Well, you'd
need to adapt it.

But if you could,

you would be the Luthor
who saved the world.

Silver kryptonite.

That's a new one.

The whole time I thought
i was fighting Zod.

But it didn't
weaken me at all.

It might have.

No.

No, I was at full strength
and you beat me.

Well, I'm just glad
we're both okay.

But we need to come up
with a plan to defeat rhea

or she's just going
to keep coming after us.

The positron Cannon
was the only weapon we had

capable of penetrating
their ship's shields.

Is there anything
that powerful here?

Not a weapon.

But I might have something
we can use against them.

-What?
-Information.

I feel like there was
something in the archives

about the early wars
with daxam.

You know, this really would be
a lot easier with kelex.

Yeah. Sorry,
i kinda had to blast him.

No, no, it's fine.
Just...

You owe me a new robot.

"Dakkam ur"?

I've never heard of that.

It's old, but it might work.

Yes, yes, yes.

Kara!

Are you okay?

I'm so much better now.

Hi. Hey.
I'm sure... you probably
don't remember me.

-Hi.
-Winn schott,
resident genius of the deo?

It's good to see you, buddy.

It's good...

Good.

And you're the guy
who's dating my cousin?

Yes, sir.

Mon-El of daxam.

Though not...
Not like the, uh...

You know, the others daxam.
The killy ones?

You must be a good guy
or she wouldn't be with you.

Winn, what's happening here?

Oh, uh, yes.

J'onn is still unconscious,
unfortunately.

But he's stable.

Uh, we've cleared all daxamite
soldiers from the building.

Uh, we might have found
a way to get rid

of the daxamites
in the archives at the
fortress of solitude.

What?

Dakkam ur.

No.

No, no, no.
No way in hell...

It's the only option
we've got.

What is it?

The energy weapons
in the daxamite ships
are charging up.

They're waging another attack.

Winn, get me
face-to-face with rhea.

The cannons are almost
at full strength, my queen.

Inform me the moment
we are ready to fire.

Queen rhea of daxam.

I, supergirl,
champion of planet earth,

invoke the sacred rite
of dakkam ur.

To meet with you in single
combat before the gods.

May the fate of my people
rest on the fate of my life.

She spoke the sacred oath.

How will you respond?

-Dakkam ur.

I accept your challenge,
supergirl.

We duel in four hours.

Daxam assures you
it will be your last.

Okay, what just happened?

The ships' radiation signature
is diminishing.

Their weapons
are powering down.

What did you just do?

She's gonna end this.

You just invoked
a trial by combat

created by barbarians!

It's been around since
we crawled out of the caves
on daxam

with rocks and sticks.

If I win, she goes.

They all go.

They are bound by ancient law
to leave this planet in peace.

-She's not gonna win.
-But what if she does?

Do you know
what it will happen?

You'll have to
stand by and watch her
walk this planet,

trampling everyone underfoot.

I just have to beat her.
And I will.

Why not superman?
Isn't this his fight, too?

Superman:
It's everyone's fight.

But Kara just defeated me.

She's the champion of earth.

I don't have time
for you to be afraid.

I need you strong.

Please, j'onn, wake up soon.

We need you.

It's true.

You have to wake up.

M'gann.

Your friends need you, j'onn.

The great fight is coming.

I don't know if I'm gonna be
strong enough to help them.

Don't worry.

Everything will be fine.

Now wake up.

Oh, thank god.

Where's m'gann?

You've been out
for days, j'onn.

You must be a little confused.

She was right here!

No. She's on Mars.

What happened here?

Everything.

Reporter:
It's being touted
as the intergalactic

fight of the century.

As supergirl and rhea of daxam
face off in a trial by combat

-for the very fate
of our world.
-Woof. No pressure.

We need to contain this.

Hey! Papa bear!

Alex: Easy!

-It's good to see you
on your feet.
-Welcome, my friend.

Should you be up
and walking around?

You need all the help
you can get.

Alex told me
about the offer you made.

We'll get you everything
you need.

But for right now,
that needs to be handled.

You don't want an audience
of innocent civilians
when you fight rhea.

Cat: Tessmacher,
get snapper on the line.

His dispatches have no teeth.

Where's the hook,
where's the lede,

where's the stats and
where the hell is my latte?

I've been typing
for 12 hours,

I need caffeine, I need carbs,
i need a...

Clark bar.

Oh.

And what, pray tell,
brings you here?

Gosh, Ms. Grant.
I just wanted to see
what I could do to help.

Oh, you do love danger,
don't you, Clark Kent?

Yet another reason
why Lois made no sense.

Oh, and speaking of sense,

I need you to talk some sense

into your friend, James Olsen.

Ah, Jimmy?

He's been parading around
like darth vader,

punching out villains,

and, I, for one, do not want
to watch some space invaders

slay him with their
lifesaver.

I think you mean
"light saber".

Yeah, and darth vader
actually punches out
the good guys.

Right.

Oh. Okay, whatever.
I've never seen star wars.

Oh, and ker-rah, where
the hell have you been?

No, no, no. You are ostensibly
employed here as a reporter.

And supergirl is out there
about to have the biggest
skirmish of her career

and I thought maybe you want
to go out there and report?

Yeah, that's actually
why we're here.

So, uh, the fight
between rhea and supergirl...

Go on.

Uh, supergirl gave us
an exclusive interview.

-In exchange for?
-Clark: A request.

She'd like you
to tone down the, um...

Gee, how do I put this...

The sensational tone that
the battle's been receiving
in the media.

Oh, I don't know
how I can do that.

People are finally
starting to fight.

Finally starting to stand up.

Supergirl doesn't want anyone
showing up and getting hurt.

And I don't know anyone who
cares more about the people
than you do, Ms. Grant.

Once again, Kansas,
you're the only person
who really gets me.

I try.

Fine. Deal.

And what do you think,
ker-rah?

Do you think supergirl
is ready for this?

-She told me she is.
-Cat: Well, great.

Then, I put all my chips
on the girl of steel.

Hmm.

Now, you go out there
and you tell supergirl

that we are all
rooting for her.

Sure thing.
It's good seeing you,
Ms. Grant.

Mmm.

Oh, those big green eyes...

I promise you, when he
takes off those glasses,

he is a tiger in bed.

Oh, god, I hope rhea kills me.

Hey, you're never gonna guess
who wants to see us.

Of course, the two of you
would make an entrance.

Unfortunately, this is her
on her best behavior.

So what did you want?

My daughter has
a way to save us.

It's a device that
my brother invented
to keep humans safe

while radiating the atmosphere
with kryptonite.

It would've made
the planet uninhabitable
for both of you.

Well, lucky my cousin
put him in jail

before he could make it work.

And lucky for you, I found it.

I've been studying it.

And I think I can convert it

to irradiate
the atmosphere with lead,

rather than kryptonite.

Lillian: Just a trace amount,
harmless to humans.

But the atmosphere would
become toxic to daxamites.

The aliens would be
forced to leave.

Or stay and die.

-All of them?
-Mmm-hmm.

Lena:
And they could never return.

Even rhea's son.

Mon-El would have
to leave earth.

Did you know he was
dating Kara danvers?

Start working.

What did Lillian want?

Lillian and Lena
have a way, a fail-safe,

to get rid of the daxamites
if Kara doesn't beat rhea.

It's a device that will seed
the earth's atmosphere
with lead.

No daxamite would
survive on this planet.

Except for mon-El, right?

Mon-El might be able
to survive a little longer
than the others.

He's been exposed
to our yellow sun
for a few months.

Well, if it comes down to it,
you use it.

I won't be the reason
this planet suffers.

No. No, it's not going
to come to that.

I told Lena to start working,

but I want to be
very clear about something.

We will not
have to use that device.

And I am going to beat her.

Your mother's going to leave.

For good.

Agent schott, head to l-corp.

Assist Lillian
and Lena Luthor.

Yeah, sure thing.

When you go to meet her,
I'm coming, too.

You can't fight for me.

But I can be with you.

I know you probably
want to go, but I...

No.
You'll be a good second.

I could use your
help though, kal.

Spar with me. And keep me
on my toes until I meet her.

That's good, that's good.

You're a quick learner.

I learned that move
on warworld.

What is it?

I just...

I feel like I'm on the brink

of having everything
I've ever wanted.

Family, friends, a job I love.

A life as a hero
i never could have imagined.

And mon-El.

If I beat rhea,
i get to keep all of that.

I don't know.
I don't know if it's possible.

I don't know if it's possible
to have everything you want.

Well, it is.

But only because
you worked for it.

Whenever I fight,

no matter who it's against
or where it is,

I'm always fighting for Lois.

I fight with her right here.

The people we love,
they're, uh...

They're another
secret superpower.

Keep him with you.

It's time.

I'm here for you.

I know.

I see you brought
some moral support.

Supergirl: I see you did, too.

So, once you are disposed of,

I have your word

that your forces
will lay down arms?

That the city, the nation,
and the planet
will be surrendered?

On my honor.

And if I defeat you,
your invasion ends.

You leave.
Once and for all.

For the earth.

For the earth.

You agreed to the dakkam ur.

Send them back.

You will dishonor yourself
before the gods.

My gods are only
concerned with my victory.

Supergirl: No.

No, destroying this city
is not the answer.

A city that's destroyed

will need a new leader
to rebuild it.

Go.

Be a hero.

Kara's alone.

Supergirl's handling rhea.

Right now, we need to help
the people in that building.

We?

El mayara.

U-th-aur.

Alex, you're in charge.

Don't worry, I got your back.

You're getting tired.

Finish me, then.

Hit me.

Consider it a gift.

You ready to give up now?

Hardly.

Because of your people,
kryptonite poisoned
my entire world.

I've carried it
across galaxies.

It's part of me now.

So go ahead.

Make me bleed.

Can I have the...
Uh, the... yeah.

Thank you, winn.

You know,
I'm pretty good in a crisis.

Oh, god!

Lillian: We can see that.

I don't like you.

It's done.

Turn it on.
We can end this.

Hey, no, no, no, wait!
No, you can't do that.

-There's too much
at stake to wait.
-Mother!

Winn: No!

You said it worked.

Oh, it does.

I just gave supergirl
the remote.

Only she can turn it on.

We should call the deo.

Get them to let supergirl know
it's ready if she needs it.

Come on, get out of here.
Get out of here.

Soldier: Get the traitor!

Sorry, not sorry.

Get to safety.

Superman, we've got bogies
above national city hospital.

I'm on my way.

Get the Kryptonian!

This is worse than myriad.

I never thought
i would say that.

Ms. Grant!

Well, at least he tried.

-You came.
-You called.

They followed you.

Don't worry.
They're friends.

It won't stop here.

There's star city
and Metropolis.

I will destroy city after city
until your whole world
is gone.

This is my home.

And I'm going to protect it.

It doesn't matter
if I live or die.

We'll keep coming.

Supergirl, they've locked
onto every school,

hospital, and municipal
building in the city.

They're going
to destroy everything.

I'm so sorry.

Finally.

Mon-El.

Please...

Save me.

Like you saved father?

Mon-El!

No!
No, please, please.

I'm gonna get you
somewhere safe.

-I'm gonna take you
somewhere safe.
-It's okay.

No, stop.

Alex!

Do something!
Tell me what to do!

Kara, there's nothing to do.

The entire atmosphere's
been affected.

How long does he have?

I don't know...
A few minutes?

It was worth it.

Stop, stop.

Alex? Uh...

Do something for me?

-You're okay.
-Kara...

-I've got you...
-Kara...

No, no, don't talk.
Just save your energy.

There's something
i need to say.

Wherever I go...

I'm gonna be better
because of you.

You'll be in my heart.

I promise I'm going
to be the man...

That you thought I could be.

I promise.

You've made me so happy.

Here, here.

Take this.

Take this.

This will keep you safe.

I love you.

And I should
have said it before.

I love you.

Okay, okay.

You have to go.

You have to go!

I have to get home.

I know.

You okay?

Of course.

I did the right thing.

I think it goes far
beyond "the right thing".

I couldn't have done it, Kara.

You don't have to try
to make me feel better.

I'm not.

I'm humbled by you.

Yeah, I'd like to think
that if it came down
to a choice between...

Lois and the world, but...

I don't think I could.

You are so much
stronger than me.

Stronger than I ever will be.

Thank you.

Say hi to Lois for me.

M'gann: You have
changed me, forever.

Hank henshaw:
I'm so glad you're here,
m'gann.

M'gann: Of course I'm here.

And you brought an army.

Well, it turns out
I'm not the only
white martian who regrets.

Disagrees. Fights.

There are a lot of us.

We're trying to change things.

Make tomorrow better.

On the old world and the new.

How did you know to come?

Your mind cried out.

I felt you fall away.

You needed me.

I hope you didn't come out
of a sense of duty.

Can you stay?

For a while.

Good.

There was a moment
this year...

Where I felt
completely broken.

When I regretted a choice
that changed my life.

And then you forced
your way into my home,

wrapped your arms around me,
and you said,

"I'm proud of you."

Didn't make me feel
any better at the time,

but it was something
to hold onto.

I am so proud of you.

Do you...

Do you want me
to stay over tonight?

I mean, I can be there
as long as you need...

No, no.
Go be with your girlfriend.

I need to know
you two are happy.

Like I want to know
about winn and lyra,

j'onn and m'gann,
Clark and Lois.

It's not like everybody else's
world stopped.

You don't have to act like it.

What do you need right now?

Just...

Never let her go.

Okay?

She'll be okay.

I hope so.

Hey.

I know the danvers girls.

-You don't break easy.
-Marry me?

'Scuse me?

Seriously.

Marry me.

Please.

Lillian Luthor,
the head of the anti-alien
organization, cadmus,

claims responsibility
for ridding national city
of daxamite invaders,

returning peace to earth.

Fake news!
Complete crap.

What's wrong with your face?

What? Do I...
Do I have something?

That frown.

It's causing little,
tiny wrinkles to sprout up
under your eyes.

Ker-rah,
the city has been saved

from that
fashion-challenged fascist.

So why do you look like
your world is about to end?

It's, uh...

It's personal.

While you've been away, uh...

I've been in a relationship...

Kara danvers
has a boyfriend?

A year in a yurt,
and I miss everything!

Had a boyfriend.

Oh.

For the first time ever,
i really liked someone...

Loved someone...

And it didn't work.

Mmm.

-It, um...
-Cat: Hurts?

Like hell.

I mean, everyone
close to me in my life

is in a happy relationship,

and I thought
i could have that, too.

But...

I'm starting to think that
maybe it's just not
in the cards for me.

No. Take it from a woman
who has been
married four times.

-Four?
-Well, it would've been five,
but I turned down rob lowe.

Twice, actually.

It just feels like this pain
isn't gonna go away.

Ah, well, that's what
i said about childbirth.

But it did.

And it will. Now...

See...

The thing that makes
women strong,

is that we have the guts
to be vulnerable.

We have the ability to feel
the depths of our emotion,

and we know that we will walk
through it to the other side.

And by the way,

you have accomplished
great things this year.

Your articles, "slavers moon",

"alien registry",
"alien fight club".

I mean,
it's all very powerful.

And your prose...

Your prose is not bad.

I mean, it's not great,
but it's not bad.

You read them?

I did.

I did. 2017,
and they have Wi-Fi in
the himalayan mountains.

But you, my dear,

are on a hero's journey.

Like Joseph Campbell
would say.

And yes, you have
hit a bit of an obstacle,

but you will soar
right over it.

Just like I would.

Except, of course, you won't
be wearing Louboutins.

Woman: Breaking news.
A fire has broken out in two buildings

on the West Side of the city.
Firefighters are...

Actually, um...

There's something
i forgot I had to do.

I have to go.

By all means.

Thank you.

Go get 'em, supergirl.

Is it ready?

It should survive the journey.

It will grow strong on earth.

And then what?

And then...

It will reign.
