Previously on
Supergirl...

"To all true Children of Liberty
who believe this country is ours.

We must resist the alien scourge."

People feeling inferior is what
makes them join these hate groups,

then we could just level
the playing field.

Did the Harun-El do this?

It made the heart invincible.

I want to move forward
with the Harun-El protocol.

We're going to need a human subject.

They took my baby, man.

Sorry, Fi. I gotta do it my way.

I got connected
with some Children of Liberty.

Tom, nice to meet you, brother.

I don't have direct access
to Agent Liberty,

but I can connect you
with people who do.

All units,
respond to a hostage situation

at the alien fission rod factory.

Lower your gun
and get down on the ground.

Or I can't promise
you'll walk out of here.

You're safe now.

Good job.

So, what did your partners want
with the fission rods?

Go ahead, tell her what you told me.

I don't know anything.

Hey, hey!
That is not how we do things.

Look, you're getting in the back
of a police car anyway,

so just tell us the truth.

I swear, I don't know any more.

I said I wanted to help
and they gave me two options.

I could show up here
and steal some fission rods

or hang out waiting
for some cargo shipment.

We're done here.

Hey, partner!

Wait up!

Look, I appreciate what you're doing,
but I can take it from here.

Look, Agent Liberty took everything
from me.

I will do anything to see him
brought to justice, anything.

Just let me help.

I'm resourceful.

I tracked them here, didn't I?

I'll call you if I find anything.

I apologize for the blindfold.

A necessary precaution, you understand.

Yeah, I get it.

But I'm no threat to you.

I came here on my own accord.

To talk to you, to listen.

I'm prepared to hear
your side of the story.

I mean, obviously you have an agenda,
but why?

There has to be something
at the core of your anger,

something that's happened to you.

Something did happen to me, Mr. Olsen.

I saw men struggling to remain relevant,

to provide for their family.

I saw human beings being treated

less than they deserve,
less than exceptional.

Surely, there has to be a part of you

that can find a commonality
between aliens and humans.

We just want good, safe lives
for our loved ones.

No, we're not here
to talk about my empathy,

or lack thereof, for aliens.

Okay, you tell me, what am I writing?

You won't be writing anything.

I'm giving you an opportunity
to step in front of the camera for once.

To be the story,
to galvanize and to inspire,

because Guardian stands for
everything that my followers strive for,

human exceptionalism.

You want me to inspire your followers?

And how exactly
do you want me to do that?

I want you to destroy something.

A monument,

something that stands against
everything that we believe in.

I don't tear things down.

That's not my style.

I get it.
You're not a willing participant yet,

but you will be.

I believe in you, Mr. Olsen.

The fission rods were just delivered.

- And what about the rest? Is it set?
- Yeah.

Good. Then the men we lost
on Thanksgiving will be avenged.

And by tomorrow night,
Supergirl will be dead.

Ms. Luthor.

The subject's here.

- He's early.
- Well, he's eager to get started.

He's a real nice guy.

He's got nice green eyes, like yours.

Eve, doing experiments of this nature

on a human subject is extremely serious.

I've had qualms about even proceeding.

You are not making this any easier.

I'm so sorry. Of course.

You have to proceed.

My cousin's in hospice.

Metastasized cancer.

She's got two little girls.

You'd give those kids their mother back,

and just imagine all the other families
that you'd rescue.

Not to mention saving our country.

If you level the playing field
and make humans super,

you could be preventing
another civil war.

Have you prepared the subject?

- Yes. His name...
- No.

No, don't tell me his name.

We'll refer to him as subject 0331.

Hmm.

Well, you must be the lab tech.

I'm your rat. Name's...

Subject 0331.

Male, brown hair, green eyes,
approximately 5'9".

Three-inch scar on the left rear flank.

Hockey injury.

Buffalo boys, can't trust us on the ice.

I assume you've read and considered
the conditions of the experiment

before you signed the contract.

Feel free to look it over,

but I will need your thumbprint
to make it binding.

Yeah, wait, by conditions,
you mean this part, right?

"I, the subject,
understand and acknowledge

the full range of risks,
including, but not limited to,

a 15% chance of expiration."

Expiration as in death, right, lab tech?

That makes me sound
like a carton of milk.

If you're uncomfortable with the terms,
you can just get dressed and leave.

No, no, no,
I'm just messing with you.

Of course, I understand the terms.
It's just...

Why the soft-pedaling?

I mean, it's kinda like
when everyone would say,

"I'm so sorry your brother passed."

Passed what? Gas?

Passed his driver's test?

No, he didn't pass, lady,
he freakin' died.

Dead.

As in a doornail.

Anyways, I digress. It's a thing I do.

I'm totally in. Here is my thumbprint.

May I see your arm, please?

I suggest my left.

The ad for this gig
made a pretty big deal

of the secrecy of the whole thing.

But seeing as how
I'm putting my life on the line...

Well, I'd love to know what it's for.

Well, you must know the scientist
pretty well, right?

Can you tell me what he's up to?

- It's the advancement of science.
- You're tough.

But under all that ice, there's a heart.

I can tell.

So, will I ever get to meet the man
behind all this?

You have met him.

I'm the scientist.

- Hey, I have to show you something.
- Okay, in a minute.

Brainy, I need you to track...

Missing alien fission rods?
Already on it.

Great. And I need to track any
rogue cargo shipments...

...you are watching
The Lockdown with Ben Lockwood.

What is that man doing on TV?

I told you
I needed to show you something.

Okay.

And I'm sorry to say,
we're going to start tonight's show

on a very somber note,
because on Thanksgiving night,

five men peacefully protesting

the alien takeover
of their home planet went missing.

Roaches think they can blow us
out of the water whenever they want.

They see Supergirl flying around,
rounding up innocent people...

They're blaming me?

Is Supergirl a hero?

Or is she the seed that may very well

cause the eradication of the human race?

- What?
- Hey!

You saved hundreds of people
on Thanksgiving.

And we don't even know
if aliens were involved

in the disappearances.
We're still investigating.

Hang on.

J'onn, what's happening?

Hi, I just got a call
from Manchester Black.

Said you two were working on something?

He wanted me to give you a message.

- Something about a cargo shipment.
- Really?

- Send me the details.
- Will do.

Tom?

I'm so sorry
I got you involved in all this.

They lied to me.

I thought they were going to
give you an interview,

I didn't know
they were going to use you.

My gauntlet.

Come on. We don't have a lot of time.

Welcome to Earth.

You are about to be processed
for immigration.

The island will dampen your powers,

but rest assured,
they'll return as soon as you leave.

Earth is a friendly place.

You are safe here.

Welcome to Shelley Island.

Shelley Island?

I thought this place was shut down
after President Marsdin resigned.

Yeah, it was.

That's why it's the perfect place
for the Children of Liberty to gather.

James Olsen has escaped.
Search the island.

No boats on or off.

Come on, the boat's this way.

Go, James, go!

Go!

Hands where I can see 'em.

Earth traitor...

Stop, stop, stop! Wait, wait, wait!

I'll do whatever you want.

Just don't hurt him.

Oh, you see, I knew you'd heed the call.

Psst!

- Hey!
- Hey!

Thanks for the tip.
So, what's this code you've cracked?

Follow me.

Once I realized that little weasel
in the energy factory

gave us everything we needed,
the rest was easy.

The ISO Label?

International standard codes
for ID'ing freight containers.

I nicked the logs
from the shipyard foreman,

did a little cross-referencing
and found our prize.

So, shall we see
what's behind door number one?

It's empty. And freezing.

Whatever was shipped in here
was kept at sub-zero.

Yeah, now it's gone without a trace.

Maybe not.

It's part of a shipping label.

Manchester?

You better tell me
what I need to know.

Hey, hey! Hey!

Whoa! What are you doing?

He's the supervisor.

He must know
where that shipment was headed.

- Where did it go?
- Stop!

Stop! He can't speak through your fist.

Well done.
Now he's going to go call the cops.

I don't care.

You could have broken his jaw.

We don't hurt innocent people.

What is wrong with you?

Okay, look, sorry.
Sometimes I just get a little...

I've had a rough couple of months.

Yeah, well, maybe you should take
a few more and cool down.

I said I was sorry.

This was a mistake.

What?

I gotta say, I'm surprised
you haven't kicked me out yet.

- For what?
- Assuming the scientist was a man.

I was raised better than that. Sorry.

Apology accepted.

At least tell me your name.

Doctor...

Kieran.

Dr. Kieran.

Well, I bet your other lab rats

haven't offended you this much,
Dr. Kieran.

I don't offend easily.

And there are no other subjects.

What?

I'm the only one?

That's right.

What, was I the only one crazy enough

to risk my life for something unknown?

Out of over 100 applicants,

all but 12
were acceptably risk-tolerant.

Okay, but why did you pick me?

I have my reasons.

Oh, come on.

Dr. K, I have never been picked
for anything.

So, you have to tell me.

Nagel's spider-in-the-shower conundrum.

The spider thing?

That was a multiple choice question.

There's a spider in a shower,

and it's been there for days, trapped.

And every time you turn the water on,

it tries to run for its life to escape

but it can't get out.

So what do you do?

Do you move it to safety?
Do you kill it?

Nothing.

You don't know what the spider wants,
so you leave it the hell alone.

Yeah.

Was I the only one who picked "C"?

Other than me.

Okay, so, you picked me because

I don't care
whether a spider lives or dies.

If this thing works,
the last thing I want is a hero.

Then you have nothing to worry about.

My brother,

the one who passed, he was a hero.

He was so perfect,
it could be nauseating.

Believe me, I've never been a hero.

Neither have I.

You ever lost someone, Dr. K?

Yeah.

She was the only hero I ever had.

Oh!

Hey.

Oh...

My, I don't think you can cook
a turkey four different times.

It's accumulating flavor.

Yeah...

Listen, Brainy called
on my way over here.

He's still running tests on the label

that you brought back
from the shipyard.

But they did find the missing bodies
of the Children of Liberty.

And there was no evidence
they were killed by aliens.

But this was personal.

Busted skulls and broken jaws
in addition to gunshot wounds.

Broken jaws?

Do you think brass knuckles
could cause that much damage?

If they were paired with
a strong enough arm, yeah.

I thought you might be reheating,
so I brought wings.

- Oh, come on!
- Thank God!

No offense.

Offense taken.

I saw Manchester at the bar
while I was grabbing dinner.

He wanted me to tell you
how sorry he was.

J'onn, you told me Manchester
was on the path of peace, like you.

We share a similar struggle, yeah.

So, I understand how much he wants
to feel like he's doing something

and how hard it is for him
to resist his more violent urges.

You don't think he's capable of killing
five Children of Liberty, do you?

I mean, he is angry.

But under that anger
is just a lot of pain.

Fiona's death just rocked him.

Manchester has a good heart.

I'm not ready
to give up on him just yet.

I mean, he's been on our side
every step of the fight.

He's resourceful and stubborn.

And if he wants something,
he'll go after it.

He could be useful.

Okay.

Supergirl.

I thought you wanted
nothing to do with me.

Yeah.

But I spoke to J'onn

and he said I should give you
another chance.

It's a pot pie.

It comes in peace.

Thank you.

I never got the chance to meet Fiona.

But J'onn tells me she was remarkable.

She was.

I know you want justice for her.

I want to help you find that.

- Supergirl?
- Just a second.

Brainy, what is it?

Did we get a hit
on the contents of the container?

The label itself was too destroyed
to interpret,

but I found the residue on it
to be 80% glue and 9.73% ink.

The rest was Nalcyite.

What is that? Is it dangerous?

It's Nalcian table salt.

However, on Earth,
it could be quite volatile.

Under the right conditions,
it has an explosive factor

of 8000joules per gram

or that of a tiny, precise
nuclear explosion.

- I should get back to the DEO.
- No! Wait!

The DEO is already on it,
looking for that bomb.

So, maybe you and I
can crack something here?

Your friend said he'll call
if he finds something, right?

Right. Yeah.

Here.

Thanks.

You want some?

Thank you.

So, are you ever actually
going to tell me

what it is we're doing here?

In success, which I'm counting on,
you'll need to know.

We're attempting to cure everything.

Like...

- Cancer?
- Everything that makes men weak.

Are you telling me
if this had happened a year ago,

then my brother might still be here?

Not only that, but if this works,

we'll cure not only
all human ailments but you'll get

abilities.

What? Like superpowers?

Something like that.

But you didn't want a hero.

I wanted someone responsible.

Somebody who wouldn't think
that they knew what was best

just because they had powers.

Wow!

Um...

Um, I don't think this is a good idea.

I'm not a good person.

You know, I lied to you about my scar.

Yeah, it's not from a hockey stick.

Looks like a surgical incision.
Maybe from a kidney transplant.

That kidney is the reason
my perfect, selfless brother is dead.

I needed a kidney and he volunteered.

And the whole thing
was supposed to be routine,

but he died on the operating table
to save me.

You know what the worst part is?

If the roles had been reversed,

I wouldn't have given him
my freaking kidney.

No way.

I was too selfish.

I was the one dying.

I'm the one who's supposed to be dead.

Is that why you signed up?

Because you don't care
if you're going to live or die?

Um...

Look, Dr. K,

you're obviously
doing something great here.

And I don't want
to mess this up for you.

I mean, you said that
this could save what, millions?

Hundreds.

- Hundreds of millions.
- Yeah, well,

everything I touch is cursed.

If you've had a change of heart

and you want to drop out, that's okay.

No, that's not it at all.
You deserve someone way better than me

to help you achieve this.

Out of 100 applicants, I chose you.

- What if you chose wrong?
- Well, I'm a very smart woman.

I stand by my choice.

I was so wrong.

I thought if I joined
the Children of Liberty

- that I wouldn't feel so...
- Helpless?

I guess this is what happens
when we let fear guide us.

Uh...

We both made choices
that got us here, all right?

I mean, I asked you for help.

No. If you stay...

If you blow up that monument,

then everyone's gonna think
you're with them.

And that you're a Child of Liberty.

You're gonna give them
the face that they've been dying for.

- The legitimacy.
- So what?

That's what happens if I stay.

But if I go and I preserve
my reputation, you die.

And then what, Tom? I'm lost.

And you're dead.

And then I am no better than him.

And I'm stronger than that.

I have spent my entire life
building myself up

into the man that I am today,

and I have not given society
one reason to doubt me.

But what is reputation?

I mean, what is it?

It's nothing.

It's not who you are.

So, if the latest fringe group
wants to tear that monument down,

we will build it right back up.

Agent Liberty can do
whatever he wants with my reputation.

I know who I am.

I keep coming across this problem.

The container was empty
when we got to it.

Which means they had to get rid
of the cargo somewhere.

But the logs say
the shipment just arrived.

It didn't have time to unload there,

or to make land at any other docks.

At least, not on the mainland.

They had to have stopped at an island.

That's the only way.

The missing alien fission rods are...

They're on Shelley Island.

That's where Fi came through.

I thought it was defunct.

It was, but it runs
on alien fission rods

just like the ones that were stolen.

They turned the island back on.

I have to alert the DEO.

Wait! Hey, look,
if this is their home base

and they're planning something,
Agent Liberty will be there.

Exactly, that's why we need backup.

No, it's why we need to be smart.

A guy like that
can smell the DEO a mile away.

If we go in blazing,
he'll hit the trigger, or worse.

We need to sneak in on the hush.

No big guns.

You know, your way.

Okay.

But there are power-dampening pylons
on the island.

We have to be careful.

Luckily, I always come prepared.

It's a yellow sun grenade,
to boost my powers.

Think of it
like a Kryptonian multivitamin.

Hmm. Can I see that?

Yeah.

Brilliant.

I knew I drew right teaming up with you.

- Wow! It's beautiful.
- Yeah.

You should have seen this place
when it was fully operational.

There's the power dampeners.

Get 'em! Get 'em!

Stay where you are.

Sorry, Supergirl.

I saw an opportunity.

My new mates here promised me

an audience with their king,

so I delivered.

You set me up?

All this time you were playing me?

Why?

Pain is a great motivator.

I told you I'd do anything.

You must be Caldwell.

Petrocelli said I could trust you.

You get us Supergirl,

then you get to meet the boss.

All right, gentlemen,
you know the deal.

This has to look legit.

And, you, don't pull the trigger
until we hear her.

All right, then. As the roaches say,

"Take me to your leader."

Have patience. He'll be here soon.

Alex? Alex, can you hear me?

Left arm.

Back to treating me like a number.

I guess you've finally seen
the error of your ways.

I don't deserve to be here.

You're not a bad person, Adam.

You called me Adam.

You're also not responsible
for your brother's death.

And the hundreds of things that
could have caused what happened

on that operating table,

we know the one thing that
wasn't responsible and that's you.

You didn't cause it.
You couldn't have stopped it.

It was just bad luck.

Bad luck doesn't make you a bad person,
bad choices do.

And I would know because
I am a much worse person than you.

Is this about the person you lost?

Who was she?

My mother.

My real one.

Not my adoptive, who is
very much alive and kicking.

Well, how old were you?

Four.

You don't have to tell me
what happened.

No, it's fine. I want to.

We were visiting family, she said.

Somewhere by the water.
A lake, I think.

It was...

It was so green.

It wasn't a very bright day.

It was overcast,

but my mom said
that's where the magic was.

It was the rain that made the green.

So, of course, she went swimming.

She didn't come back.

- I'm sorry.
- No.

See, I was there.

I was with her on the shore,
when she went in

and when she went under,
and I did nothing.

I didn't run, I didn't cry.

I just stood there.

You were four.

What kind of child
doesn't run to their mother

or doesn't scream for help?

I knew something was wrong,
but I did nothing.

I just watched her die.

And afterward, I was brought to this
terrible family.

And I have spent my life

fighting their legacy

and their crimes and their evil deeds,

but I've always known that...

that deep down inside,

that I belonged with them.

Get some rest.

"Tonight, the human hero, Guardian,

pledged his allegiance to humanity

as he exterminated
not only the symbol of alien pride,

but the greatest adversary..."

"But the greatest threat
to our survival,

Supergirl."

Remember, if you say anything off-book,

if you so much as frown at the camera,

- I will not hesitate...
- I know the rules.

And you're sure
that there's no one in that monument?

Cross my heart.

Now stand in front of the detonator
and say cheese.

Tiny, precise nuclear explosion.

So, I've been thinking about
starting a chapter across the pond.

You know, Children of Britain.

Here we are.

Come on in.

Five minutes, Mr. Lockwood.

You got it.

Mr. Black.

I've heard a lot about you.

Please, let's talk.

Yes, let's.

My name is James Olsen,

and I believe in the Children of Liberty
and everything they stand for.

Only humans belong on Earth.

James!

Device online.

James!

Device activated.

James!

I hear you want
to discuss the possibility

of expanding the Children of Liberty
in Europe.

But I thought you made plans
to live here with Fiona.

Of course you're not Agent Liberty.

Because if you've connected me to Fiona,

you know the only reason I'm here
is to avenge her

and he'd never risk that.

I made a deal
with our dead friend over there

and he did not deliver.

Maybe you can.

Who is Agent Liberty?

If I tell you, you'll let me live?

I believe disloyalty should be rewarded.

James. Come on. See me!

I do this in the name of humanity.

- James!
- Supergirl?

James!

Get him!

Come on!

Take him down.

Don't move.

Countdown initiated.

Twenty, nineteen...

I honored my end of the deal.

I delivered the goods.

But I think now,
I'm going to take it back.

Time to let our caged bird free.

...ten,

nine...

...eight, seven,

six, five...

What... What's this?

It's your payment.
We're shutting down the experiment.

You're free to go.

Wait, why?

- Was it something I did?
- No.

No. We're just not moving forward, okay?

I've changed my mind.
It's not worth the risk.

Of course there's risk.

There's no progress without risk.

I just can't have another death
on my hands, okay?

It's not worth it.

I've never done anything meaningful
in my life.

And what you're doing here
is miraculous.

If I can be a part of this,
my life will finally make sense.

Good people don't let other people
take this kind of risk.

I have a 15% chance
of my kidney transplant not working.

I live with risk every day.

People risk their lives
for the things they believe in

all the time.

They enlist and go to war
to protect their country.

They become firefighters
to save other people.

The risk I'd be taking
is worth it to me.

And you are a good person.

You said it yourself,

you could save
hundreds of millions of people.

How many people can say
they have the ability to do that?

So, you made one very human mistake
when you were practically a baby.

That was not your fault.

And look at all the good
you're doing now.

Please don't take this gift
away from me.

Please let me do something good.

Subject 0331.

Trial one commencement.

Thank you.

You betrayed Supergirl tonight.

You betrayed me
and your promise to Fiona.

No vengeance is worth your soul.

What soul, old man?

I saw the love you had for Fiona,
how you fought for her.

I also know what you're gonna do.

And I can't let you kill a man,

even if that man is Agent Liberty.

Once you cross that line,
Manchester, there's no going back.

You have no idea
what lines I've already crossed.

You see that there?

That's your heart beating.

Mine is dead.

And every time I close my eyes

and wait to hear Fi's voice,

there's nothing.

There's just silence.

I'm empty, man.

- That is not true.
- You want to know the truth?

Look.

Why won't it stop?

It's an empathy amplifier.

It was created to use against empaths,

double the hurt and keep everything in.

If I can't escape this pain,
neither can you.

You shouldn't have believed in me.

We have concluded our first human trial.

Test subject 0331 exhibited
what could be considered

extra-human powers

for precisely
three minutes and 14 seconds.

Time of death, 4:03 a.m.

Despite the expiration of the subject,

the trial reaped new
and critical information

on the human genome.

Future trials run
at an 87% probability of success.

Payment will be sent
to the subject's next of kin.

I'm so sorry, Adam.

I moved the spider.

What you working on?

Hey... Um...

You know, they made me say
a lot of things in that camera today.

Horrible things that I don't believe in.

So, I just want to tell
my side of the story

about my time
with the Children of Liberty.

Yeah. I've been thinking a lot
about that, too.

Duality.

How people can surprise you.

Manchester Black is...
...is bad.

He killed people. He betrayed me.

But then he turned around to help me.

Well, maybe
he wasn't trying to help you.

Maybe that was just a consequence.

Yeah, I guess people only show you
what they want you to see

and that's not always who they are.

Yeah.

I mean, look at me.

I compromised myself today.

You saved Tom's life.

But I risked everything
I've worked for.

Everything... My reputation, my life.

Your life.

You know, though,

I guess I kind of understand

a little better why Lena lied to me
about the DA now.

You should tell her that.

Pasta and Zin?
