Andrew Heard 405 Milverton Blvd Toronto, ON M4J 1W1 416-829-0045 [email protected] COLD OPEN SUPERGIRL When I was a child, my planet Krypton was dying. I was sent to Earth to protect my cousin. But my pod got knocked off course and by the time I got here, my cousin had already grown up and become... Superman. I hid who I really was until one day when an accident forced me to reveal myself to the world. To most people, I’m a reporter at Cat Co. Worldwide Media, but in secret I work with my adoptive sister for the D.E.O. to protect my city from alien life and anyone else that means to cause it harm. I am... Supergirl. PREVIOUSLY ON SUPERGIRL J’ohn and Meg’an. MEG’AN I’m going back to Mars. Goodbye J’ohn. J’OHN J’ONES Goodbye Miss Martian. Alex and Maggie. MAGGIE SAWYER We have a deal, you don’t interfere in my cases and I won’t interfere in yours. Mon-El and Kara. KARA DANVERS About us not being a match, I didn’t mean it. MON-EL Nothing’s stopping us. KARA DANVERS Nothing’s stopping us. 2.

EXT. NATIONAL CITY SKY - DAY Supergirl is flying through the sky of National City on her way to a police shoot out in progress. She reaches up to her ear to activate her ear piece. SUPERGIRL I’m 30 seconds out. WYNN (V.O.) Okay Kara, stay sharp, there are hostages in the building. SUPERGIRL Don’t worry, I’ve got this. Supergirl speeds off to the police shoot out.

EXT. NATIONAL CITY BANK - DAY Supergirl lands in the middle of the shoot out, causing both the police and the bank robbers to stop shooting. She looks at the police and then the bank robbers. SUPERGIRL Okay, how are we going to do this people? There’s a long silence between her, the bank robbers and the police. BANK ROBBER #1 Light her up! The bank robbers start firing at Supergirl and the bullets naturally bounce off her. Supergirl turns to the bank robbers and walks right up to them, bullets being deflected off her the whole time. She gets close to Bank Robber Number #1 and grabs the muzzle and trigger of his gun, crushing them both without hurting him. The other bank robbers have stopped shooting by this time. SUPERGIRL You must be new here. BANK ROBBER #1 Hub City. SUPERGIRL Welcome to National City, we frown on bank robbers here. 3.

Supergirl notices that the other bank robbers haven’t put down their guns yet which is why the police haven’t moved in. SUPERGIRL (CONT’D) Oh, uh, would you all mind putting your guns down now? I think it would be easier to just surrender don’t you? After a few moments, the other bank robbers all drop their guns and raise their hands, making the police move in. Supergirl drops the gun of Bank Robber #1 and marches toward the bank where the hostages are. She grabs the chain on the door and breaks it before opening the door and stepping back so that the hostages can rush out. SUPERGIRL (CONT’D) It’s all right, you’re safe now. Eventually a young girl, Alicia Baker, 20s, runs out of the bank but stops to look at Supergirl. ALICIA BAKER Oh my god, you’re Supergirl. SUPERGIRL Yes, yes, I am now if you could just... Supergirl is cut off by Alicia rushing up and hugging Supergirl. ALICIA BAKER Thank you, thank you so much for saving me. SUPERGIRL Well, you’re welcome, but it wasn’t just you I saved, I... ALICIA BAKER I’m such a big fan of yours. SUPERGIRL That’s... really nice of you but... ALICIA BAKER I can’t believe Supergirl actually saved me. SUPERGIRL It’s, you know, kind of my job. 4.

ALICIA BAKER I know but... I mean, thank you so much. SUPERGIRL No problem, just... you should probably go with the other hostages so that the police can take care of you. Alicia lets go of Supergirl. ALICIA BAKER Oh, right... Alicia starts to follow the other hostages before stopping a few feet away and turning to Supergirl again. ALICIA BAKER (CONT’D) THANK YOU! Supergirl smiles and waves. Alicia eventually exits. WYNN (V.O.) She seems enthusiastic. Supergirl taps her earpiece. SUPERGIRL She was just appreciative. It happens. WYNN (V.O.) A little TOO appreciative if you ask me. SUPERGIRL What are you implying? I hope you’re not implying what I think you’re implying. WYNN (V.O.) (playfully) I’m not implying anything. SUPERGIRL Good, just don’t let Alex hear you talk like that. ALEX DANVERS (V.O.) What am I not supposed to hear? 5.

INT. DEO HQ - DAY Wynn is sitting at a computer table while Alex walks up to stand next to him. WYNN Nothing, it’s... not important. Wynn’s computer notifies him of another incident. WYNN (CONT’D) (to Kara/Supergirl) Oh, uh, Kara... we have a car chase on Fourth and Jefferson. SUPERGIRL (V.O.) I’m on it. WYNN (to Alex) You really didn’t hear that? ALEX DANVERS I’m the Danvers without the super- hearing remember? WYNN Like I said, it was nothing. Is J’ohn still on his self imposed ‘get over Meg’an’ trip? A beat passes. ALEX DANVERS Last I heard, yes, are you still tracking the incidents? WYNN Absolutely. Wynn brings up a map of incidents around the city. There are red dots all along it with clusters in specific spots. ALEX DANVERS Looks like everything is holding to the pattern. WYNN Yup, anywhere with media reports of Supergirl, a string of incidents start popping up in that general area. 6.

ALEX DANVERS And there’s no connection between the incidents? WYNN Not that I’ve been able to pick out just yet. The only identifying pattern seems to be Supergirl and the media reports surrounding her. Alex looks over the map for a moment. ALEX DANVERS Have they all been a success? WYNN All of the ones where innocent people could’ve been harmed, yes. ALEX DANVERS What about the big villain incidents? Could any of them be pulling off something this elaborate? WYNN I suppose, but the question is why? ALEX DANVERS She’s been pushing herself really hard trying to be there for all the incidents. Could they be a test? WYNN Of what? Her powers? That seems like it would come right out of the Maxwell Lord playbook. ALEX DANVERS I don’t think he’d go for something like this again, not now. But maybe someone is taking a page out of it? WYNN What if it’s a battery test? ALEX DANVERS You think someone’s trying to wear Kara out? WYNN It’s the only explanation that makes sense with the amount of incidents. 7.

ALEX DANVERS But what does the media attention have to do with it? WYNN I’m not sure yet but it could just be random chance. ALEX DANVERS That consistently? (beat) Well, keep working on it. See if anything pops up. I’m going to check on my sister after this latest round. Alex walks away.

INT. KARA DANVERS’ APARTMENT - DAY Kara Danvers/Supergirl and her sister Alex Danvers are hanging out in Kara’s apartment as Kara makes food for both of them. SUPERGIRL So we still hasn’t been able to figure out why there are so many more problems in the city? ALEX DANVERS Not yet, but we’ll get there. We always do. SUPERGIRL Well I gotta say, even with the extra work, I’m getting it done. ALEX DANVERS I’ve noticed. You’ve really been out there taking them down. SUPERGIRL Well, the city needs protecting, I’m there. ALEX DANVERS I just hope you’re not pushing yourself too hard. Kara stops what she’s doing to look at Alex. SUPERGIRL Thanks Mom. 8.

ALEX DANVERS I know, I promised I wasn’t going to do that anymore but I think we have to consider the possibility that all these incidents are meant to wear you out. SUPERGIRL Don’t worry, I’m going to be getting lots of sun today. Mon-El and I are going for coffee in an outdoor setting. ALEX DANVERS Coffee? Really? SUPERGIRL What? (beat) Why? ALEX DANVERS Isn’t that a little friendly for a date? SUPERGIRL No... I mean, okay, maybe... but... the thing about what happened with James is that there was a lot of build up and not a lot of actually getting to know each other. I don’t want to make the same mistake with Mon-El. ALEX DANVERS So you’re going for coffee? SUPERGIRL Yeah, it’s nice and safe and doesn’t involve a lot of emotional commitment. No build up. ALEX DANVERS And you’re not worried about, other kinds of build up? A beat passes. SUPERGIRL What do you mean? ALEX DANVERS Please don’t make me say it. Another beat passes. 9.

SUPERGIRL What? Alex... no... eww. ALEX DANVERS I’m just saying, there’s more than one way to generate... build up. SUPERGIRL No, no, we’re... we’re fine. There’s no... no build up. ALEX DANVERS If you say so. SUPERGIRL I do. (beat) Speaking of build up, how are you feeling about your big meeting with Maggie? ALEX DANVERS It’s not a big meeting. It’s just a meeting. SUPERGIRL Yeah, but of Maggie’s new partner. Are you nervous? ALEX DANVERS Why would I be nervous? SUPERGIRL You’re meeting the other woman. Or does that make you the other woman? ALEX DANVERS That’s not how it works... I don’t think. A beat passes. SUPERGIRL You’re nervous. ALEX DANVERS I’m not nervous. SUPERGIRL You’re totally nervous. A beat passes. 10.

ALEX DANVERS Okay maybe I’m a little nervous. I mean, I’m essentially trusting her with Maggie’s life on a daily basis. I just wanna know that she can actually do that. SUPERGIRL I’m sure she’s a great cop. ALEX DANVERS Kara, I love your optimism in people, I really do. But you can’t know that. SUPERGIRL Isn’t that why you’re going to meet her? To find out? ALEX DANVERS I just wish that I could be sure. SUPERGIRL You could always have Wynn look into her. ALEX DANVERS No, I don’t want to be ‘that girl’. SUPERGIRL Aren’t you already kind of being ‘that girl’? ALEX DANVERS Maybe, but having Wynn go through her life like that? It feels like that would be going too far. Besides, the DEO already did a background check and didn’t find anything. At least that’s what they told me, I made a point of not looking at the file. SUPERGIRL So why are you so worried now? ALEX DANVERS I was always worried, I just tried to hide it. SUPERGIRL You know for a secret agent, you don’t hide things very well. (MORE) 11. SUPERGIRL (CONT'D) (beat) Maybe you should wait until you actually meet this woman before freaking out? ALEX DANVERS You’re right. I’m sure it’ll all work out.

INT. CATCO MEDIA BUILDING - DAY Kara Danvers enters the Catco Media Building as the elevator opens, heading to Snapper Carr’s office. The office is in a frenzy. Kara stops one of her coworkers. KARA DANVERS What’s going on? CATCO EMPLOYEE Demolition work on 8th and Frankfurt went wrong. Pieces are coming off the building. We’re trying to get confirmation on how bad it is. Why? KARA DANVERS No reason, I just got here and everything was nuts. The Catco Employee rushes off. The elevator dings again, opening up and letting people off. Kara Danvers turns and reaches for her glasses and her shirt.

EXT. DEMOLITION SITE - DAY The demolition crew is running out of the building as pieces of the building are falling around them. One of the demolition crew trips and can’t get out of the way when a medium size piece starts falling straight for him. At the last second, Supergirl appears and grabs the piece of the building, rescuing the Demolition Worker. SUPERGIRL Are you okay? DEMOLITION WORKER I think so. The Demolition Worker checks himself over quickly before starting to get up. SUPERGIRL Get yourself to safety. 12.

DEMOLITION WORKER Thank you Supergirl. Supergirl sets the piece down as the Demolition Worker runs away. Supergirl uses her heat vision to break up the larger pieces and send the remnants away from fleeing demolition crew workers. As things start to settle and there isn’t any major debris, nearby pedestrians begin to cheer. ALICIA BAKER Woo! Go Supergirl! Supergirl notices Alicia but focuses on helping people.

EXT. DEMOLITION SITE - LATER Supergirl lifts up a large piece of debris and the emergency workers pull someone out from under it. When the trapped person is out, she puts it down. Maggie Sawyer comes up to Supergirl. MAGGIE SAWYER Doesn’t that ever get tiring? SUPERGIRL Hey Maggie. (beat) Not really, the benefit of being solar powered. Supergirl notices Maggie’s new partner, Anna Ramirez, beside her. SUPERGIRL (CONT’D) I’m guessing this is your new partner? Anna Ramirez extends her hand for a handshake to Supergirl. ANNA RAMIREZ Detective Ramirez. Supergirl shakes her hand. MAGGIE SAWYER Oh don’t worry, Supergirl’s not one to stand on ceremony. (to Supergirl) This is Anna. SUPERGIRL Nice to meet you. ANNA RAMIREZ You too, I’m a big fan of your work. 13.

SUPERGIRL Well, thank you... I do my best. MAGGIE SAWYER (to Supergirl) Speaking of big fans, do you know that girl? Maggie indicates Alicia Baker who is excitedly standing behind the police barrier, trying to get Supergirl’s attention. SUPERGIRL Sort of, I saved her from a hostage situation recently. ANNA RAMIREZ Well she seems really insistent on being able to talk to you. MAGGIE SAWYER We’re trying to get people to stop gawking but she says she wants to see you before she goes anywhere. Supergirl watches Alicia for a moment. SUPERGIRL Thanks, I’ll talk to her. Supergirl walks over to the police barricade.

EXT. DEMOLITION SITE - CONTINUOUS Supergirl meets Alicia Baker at the police barricade. There are media people with cameras still getting shots of the site. Several of them take photos of Supergirl as she approaches the barricade. SUPERGIRL Hi uh... ALICIA BAKER Alicia... it’s okay that you don’t remember, I don’t mind. SUPERGIRL The detectives said you wanted to see me. Are you all right? 14.

ALICIA BAKER Well, yes, I am... thanks to you. If you hadn’t rescued me from those bank robbers, I’d probably be dead now. SUPERGIRL I don’t know about dead, I don’t think they would’ve killed anyone. ALICIA BAKER Anyway... I wanted to thank you for what you did. SUPERGIRL Like I said, it’s kind of my job. Alicia pulls out a charm bracelet from her pocket. The bracelet is generally unremarkable except for the largest, most prominent charm which is the S symbol of the House of El that Supergirl wears on her chest. ALICIA BAKER Still, it means a lot to me and so I wanted to give you this. Alicia reaches out to give the charm bracelet to Supergirl and cameras start flashing to capture the moment. Supergirl looks around in concern over the media attention. ALICIA BAKER (CONT’D) I was wearing it during the bank robbery that you saved me from and it came off. The police just returned it to me today. I saw this happening on the news and I knew you’d be here. So I wanted to give it to you. Nearby, Maggie and Anna don’t really know what to do given the media presence. SUPERGIRL Thank you... but you know, jewelry kind of clashes with life and death situations. I’m afraid that I would destroy it. ALICIA BAKER I know, but I’m sure you can put it somewhere can’t you? It’s just... it would mean a lot to me if you could have it. 15.

A few moments later, Supergirl reaches out and accepts the charm bracelet from Alicia. ALICIA BAKER (CONT’D) Thank you. Supergirl smiles at Alicia. SUPERGIRL It was my pleasure. Supergirl gathers the charm bracelet into her palm and then steps back from the barricade a few steps before bending down to launch herself into the air, flying away.

EXT. SHAKY’S COFFEE SHOP - DAY Kara Danvers and Mon-El are sitting at a coffee shop together on their date. Shaky’s Coffee Shop looks very similar to Jitters from Earth One. MON-EL So what did you do with it? KARA DANVERS What could I do with it? I took it home with me. MON-EL Good, then it all worked out. KARA DANVERS Sure... except for my massive guilt. MON-EL You feel guilty? For what? KARA DANVERS For accepting it. MON-EL I’m sorry, I’m confused. Maybe this is an alien cultural thing that I’m just not getting. I thought gift giving was a good thing. Don’t humans have a whole season devoted to it? The season of receiving? KARA DANVERS Giving. 16.

MON-EL What? KARA DANVERS It’s the season of giving. MON-EL Right, so, she wanted to give you a gift. That was nice of her. KARA DANVERS Yes. MON-EL Then what do you have to feel guilty about? KARA DANVERS Because of the cameras. People are going to see that and they’re going to think it’s okay to give me gifts. MON-EL And you get more free stuff. I’m not really seeing a downside here. KARA DANVERS The downside is that I’m going to end up getting gifts from so many people that I won’t know what to do with it all. Heroes are supposed to be about more than that. Supergirl is about more than that. She’s supposed to inspire them. MON-EL Isn’t that what you did when you rescued her? You inspired her to do a good thing. A barista comes over and hands them cups of coffee. KARA DANVERS I know, but I didn’t want THAT kind of inspiration. MON-EL What’s the difference? KARA DANVERS When people look at Supergirl, I want them to see someone to look up to. (MORE) 17. KARA DANVERS (CONT'D) Someone that inspires them to do the right thing. To help someone else when they need it. MON-EL Well, not to point out the obvious Kara but... you ARE someone else. KARA DANVERS What do you mean? MON-EL Supergirl may be there to be looked up to and inspire people, but she’s also a person. You are a person Kara. Maybe they just wanted to help you? KARA DANVERS I guess, it’s just... I knew that accepting the gift is a bad idea, even before I did it. MON-EL Then why did you do it? KARA DANVERS Because if I hadn’t, it would’ve been on the news and that would have been much worse. MON-EL See, on Daxam we would just put journalists who said bad things into stocks so people could throw food at them. It’s just so much easier. KARA DANVERS That’s actually not something we like to encourage here sweetie. Particularly since I’m a journalist. Mon-El doesn’t respond right away, smiling. KARA DANVERS (CONT’D) What? MON-EL You called me sweetie. After a moment, Kara smiles too. 18.

KARA DANVERS I did, didn’t I? Mon-El gets a concerned look for a second. MON-EL Wait, that’s a good thing right? I’m not misreading that? Kara reaches out and takes Mon-El’s hand. KARA DANVERS It’s definitely a good thing.

EXT. L CORP - LATER A nervous man, Steven, is approaching the L Corp building. Steven is wearing a long coat despite the fact that everyone else around him isn’t, and looking around as he gets close to the security barrier. The Security Guard sees him and stops him. SECURITY GUARD Hey, can you stop for a second? Steven stops but gets angry at the Security Guard. He then opens up his coat to reveal a bomb. STEVEN No, I can’t.

EXT. SHAKY’S COFFEE SHOP - DAY Kara’s ears perk up suddenly as she hears something. Mon-El is still sitting across from her at the table. MON-EL What is it? KARA DANVERS I have to go. MON-EL No rest for the heroes I guess? Kara stands up, leans over the table and kisses Mon-El. KARA DANVERS It doesn’t look like it. 19.

INT. L CORP - MOMENTS LATER Steven is brandishing his bomb to the people on the main floor of the L Corp building. Many of the people on the floor are panicking. STEVEN I wanna speak to Lena Luthor. You get her down here and no one will get hurt. Just then, Fake Supergirl, who is Alicia Baker dressed in a Supergirl costume, arrives on the scene but we don’t see that she’s not the real Supergirl at first. FAKE SUPERGIRL You don’t have to do this. STEVEN Supergirl... Fake Supergirl’s identity is revealed. STEVEN (CONT’D) Wait, who are you? FAKE SUPERGIRL I’m Supergirl. Fake Supergirl starts walking towards Steven. STEVEN Stay back, whoever you are. Fake Supergirl does her best Supergirl impression. FAKE SUPERGIRL Whatever it is, I’m sure we can talk about it. STEVEN I need to talk to Lena Luthor. Supergirl arrives on the scene finally and enters the building. She looks at Fake Supergirl and Steven with confusion. SUPERGIRL What’s going on here? Fake Supergirl is excited to see Supergirl. FAKE SUPERGIRL I’m helping. 20.

Again Supergirl looks at Steven and then back to Fake Supergirl. SUPERGIRL (to Fake Supergirl) Listen, I need you to stand back. Supergirl starts slowly moving towards Steven but Fake Supergirl stops her. FAKE SUPERGIRL But, I can help. SUPERGIRL As much as I appreciate that, I want you to let me handle this. FAKE SUPERGIRL I... SUPERGIRL Please. Fake Supergirl relents. FAKE SUPERGIRL Okay. Supergirl focuses on Steven. STEVEN What’s going on? Supergirl moves slowly closer to Steven, similarly to the way Fake Supergirl did. SUPERGIRL It’s okay, everything’s going to be okay. STEVEN No it’s not. She continues to get closer to Steven while Fake Supergirl stays back. SUPERGIRL Whatever it is, it’s not worth your life. STEVEN It WAS my life. This company, it destroyed that. 21.

FAKE SUPERGIRL So build a new one. STEVEN (upset) What? SUPERGIRL (to Fake Supergirl) That’s... that’s not helping. FAKE SUPERGIRL If your life was destroyed, just build a new one. STEVEN What are you talking about? My life is in shambles, I don’t want to rebuild it, I want to end it. SUPERGIRL You don’t want to do that. Just... just focus on me. As Steven talks to himself, he begins to focus on the detonator in his hand more and more. STEVEN (to himself) What was I thinking? Lena Luthor was never going to talk to me. She’s probably off somewhere on her private island, not even thinking about me. I’m worthless. SUPERGIRL You’re not worthless. STEVEN I should just... Steven puts his thumb on the trigger of the detonator to set it off. Supergirl runs with super speed to stop him. At super speed, she grabs the detonator from his hand, rips the bomb off his chest and then falls on top of the bomb, using her cape to cover it and to keep the explosion from spreading to the rest of the building with people in it. The bomb never goes off though. The bomb squad rushes in to help Supergirl. 22.

EXT. L CORP - LATER Supergirl is overseeing the aftermath of the incident. There are ambulances as well as the bomb squad and police cars all around. Maggie approaches Supergirl. SUPERGIRL How is he? MAGGIE SAWYER He’s in shock. The paramedics gave him something to calm him down but they seem to think he’ll be okay. Supergirl looks around for a moment. SUPERGIRL It doesn’t make any sense. MAGGIE SAWYER What doesn’t? SUPERGIRL Why didn’t the bomb go off? MAGGIE SAWYER It wasn’t supposed to. SUPERGIRL What? MAGGIE SAWYER Bomb techs looked it over and the trigger mechanism wasn’t connected to the bomb. They weren’t able to find evidence of a timer or transmitter that would’ve set it off either. There was no way that bomb was going to blow up. SUPERGIRL Then why did he do it? MAGGIE SAWYER We don’t know yet. We tried to ask him but he’s still a little too out of it. We’ll find out. SUPERGIRL Something about this just isn’t right. 23.

MAGGIE SAWYER Speaking of not right... have you talked to her yet? Maggie indicates Alicia Baker in her fake Supergirl costume sitting on the back of an ambulance. She’s draped her cape over herself like it’s a blanket. When Alicia sees that Supergirl has looked her way, Alicia smiles but Supergirl doesn’t. SUPERGIRL Not yet. But I think I’m going to have to. MAGGIE SAWYER What do you want to do with her? SUPERGIRL I know her heart was in the right place but... she endangered lives. There’s really only one thing we can do. Maggie moves towards Alicia Baker but Supergirl stops her. SUPERGIRL (CONT’D) Let me talk to her first. MAGGIE SAWYER I’ll make sure that the cameras stay away this time. SUPERGIRL Thank you. Supergirl walks over to Alicia Baker.

EXT. L CORP - CONTINUOUS Alicia Baker seems happy to see Supergirl when she stands in front of her. ALICIA BAKER You were fantastic in there. SUPERGIRL (confused) I’m sorry? ALICIA BAKER What you did in there? It was fantastic. (MORE) 24. ALICIA BAKER (CONT'D) The way you protected all those people? I don’t think I could’ve done that. SUPERGIRL Well, at least we agree on that. ALICIA BAKER What? SUPERGIRL What you did in there? That was incredibly dangerous. ALICIA BAKER (concerned) I know. I’m sorry... I just... I wanted to feel important, like you. SUPERGIRL Like me? ALICIA BAKER I just mean, I’m not as important as you. You’re SUPERGIRL. You save lives every day. I wanted to know what it was like. A beat passes. SUPERGIRL You didn’t, set all this up did you? ALICIA BAKER What? No. SUPERGIRL Because the bomb was never meant to go off. ALICIA BAKER No, I... A beat passes. SUPERGIRL (understanding) You didn’t know. A beat passes. 25.

ALICIA BAKER I just... I got a message to come down to the L Corp building because you needed help. SUPERGIRL What kind of message? ALICIA BAKER Just what I said... come down to the L Corp building and help Supergirl with a problem. SUPERGIRL Who sent it? ALICIA BAKER I don’t know. It was a blocked number. Alicia pulls out her phone and shows the text to Supergirl. SUPERGIRL And you just showed up? A beat passes. ALICIA BAKER I wanted to help. Maggie and Anna come over to where Supergirl and Alicia are talking. SUPERGIRL I’m sorry Alicia, but what you did was incredibly dangerous. I can’t just let you walk away from that. Anna steps up to make the collar. Supergirl hands Maggie Alicia’s phone. MAGGIE SAWYER Alicia Baker, you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. (lower volume as the rest of her Miranda Rights are read) ALICIA BAKER I was just trying to help. Supergirl walks away from Alicia. 26.

SUPERGIRL I know.

INT. DEO HQ - LATER Supergirl and Wynn are walking towards the command centre of the DEO. WYNN You had her arrested? SUPERGIRL What else was I supposed to do? She endangered lives. WYNN No you definitely did the right thing. She could’ve gotten hurt. Although you could probably say that about most of us mere mortals. SUPERGIRL She’s not a bad person, she just went about it the wrong way. WYNN Speaking of which... SUPERGIRL Did you find out who sent her that text? WYNN Unfortunately not, whoever sent it used a burner. SUPERGIRL So we have no idea? WYNN I wouldn’t say that. I’ve been looking into her internet history and it says a lot about where it may have come from. SUPERGIRL What is it? Wynn and Supergirl arrive at the command centre. WYNN She’s a REALLY big fan of yours. 27.

SUPERGIRL I noticed that when she showed up to a suicide bomber’s attack looking like me. WYNN It’s not the first time. SUPERGIRL What? WYNN Not... I don’t mean her putting people in danger. Wynn pulls up on the main screen a number of photos of Alicia Baker in a Supergirl costume. WYNN (CONT’D) She has a habit of going places looking like you. A lot of her social media traffic revolves around very pro-Supergirl groups and discussions. She subscribes to a number of e-mail and text message services that revolve around you and you related news. SUPERGIRL So anyone could’ve hacked into the list and gotten her number. How is this a good thing? WYNN Because, her pro-Supergirl stance has made her something of an expert on you and its made her rather popular among your fans. So much so that she’s been asked to appear at Supercon. SUPERGIRL Seriously? WYNN Yup, she’s basically seen as the convention’s leading expert on you. SUPERGIRL My parents took me to them when I was a kid, they wanted me to see how people were embracing my family’s legacy. 28.

WYNN Did it work? SUPERGIRL Kinda, I mean, it meant a lot to see how many people got so much hope out of it but... family crests were sacred on Krypton. If you weren’t a member of that family, putting someone else’s crest on was a sign of disrespect. WYNN And here were a bunch of humans trying to profit off your family’s legacy. SUPERGIRL Yeah. WYNN I get it. Family legacies aren’t always what you want them to be. SUPERGIRL So I guess Alicia won’t get her chance to speak at the event. ALEX DANVERS I wouldn’t say that. SUPERGIRL What is it Alex? ALEX DANVERS I just got word from Maggie, apparently some fancy lawyer walked in and got her released on bail. SUPERGIRL What? WYNN The Super-fan had a lawyer? ALEX DANVERS I’m not sure it was really her lawyer. SUPERGIRL What do you mean? 29.

ALEX DANVERS Maggie says she didn’t seem to know her lawyer. They just walked right in and insisted she be released. WYNN Could be whoever sent her the text didn’t want to leave her hanging? ALEX DANVERS But why? Why set her up and then bail her out? SUPERGIRL If she’s going anywhere it’s to that panel. ALEX DANVERS Whoever sent that text could make contact with her there. WYNN I guess Supergirl’s going to Supercon. ALEX DANVERS There’s no way that Supergirl can go there with the way they’d react. SUPERGIRL She’s right... Supergirl speeds away and then comes back, dressed as Kara Danvers. KARA DANVERS This looks like a job for Kara Danvers.

INT. SUPERCON FLOOR - DAY Kara, Alex and Wynn, dressed in plain clothes, enter the Supercon floor and survey the scene in front of them. There are all kinds of convention goers wearing blue or red or both and many of the booths have the House of El symbol on them. Some of them are wearing costumes similar to Alicia Baker’s or Supergirl’s. WYNN Alicia’s panel is in the south building in 20 minutes, we should spread out and see if we can find anyone looking suspicious. 30.

ALEX DANVERS You don’t find any of this suspicious? WYNN What? You’ve never wanted to pretend you were from another planet? Kara and Alex both look at Wynn. WYNN (CONT’D) Oh... right... KARA DANVERS We’ll meet at the panel so we can check out the line in case they’re going to be there. Wynn walks away while Kara and Alex stay together as they go in the opposite direction. ALEX DANVERS Seeing all this reminds me of when we were kids. Mom and Dad would drag us both to these things... I hated it. KARA DANVERS You did? ALEX DANVERS It always reminded me of the ways we were different. The fact that we weren’t really sisters and that you had the kind of power I would never feel. KARA DANVERS I know what you mean, it’s why I tried to hide it from you. I didn’t want anyone to feel like anyone was out of place around me. Sooner or later, I think I was even hiding it from myself. ALEX DANVERS But you don’t have to be that way anymore, neither of us do. We don’t have to resent it anymore. And I mean, what’s to resent? Look at all the people here celebrating you. 31.

Kara is about to say something when one of the exhibitors comes over to Kara. EXHIBITOR (to Kara) Oh my god, you’re perfect. KARA DANVERS I’m sorry? EXHIBITOR Well maybe not perfect, the nose is off and I’m not entirely sure about the cheekbones but those can be fixed. Otherwise you’re perfect. We just need to take those glasses off. The exhibitor reaches for Kara’s glasses. KARA DANVERS Uh, no... I... I can’t see anything without them. Kara fends her off. Eventually the exhibitor relents. KARA DANVERS (CONT’D) Perfect for what? EXHIBITOR You’re a dead ringer for Supergirl. How would you like to do some modeling? KARA DANVERS Modeling? The exhibitor moves to her booth where there are Supergirl costumes displayed all over. There are Supergirl look-a-likes of various shapes and sizes at the booth wearing various sized Supergirl costumes. EXHIBITOR I create custom order Supergirl costumes for cosplaying, public appearances or... you know, whatever you’re into. KARA DANVERS Whatever you’re... (weirded out) oh... I... Alex intervenes at this point. 32.

ALEX DANVERS Appreciate the offer but she’s not really a model and already has a job. Alex guides Kara away from the exhibitor. KARA DANVERS People really use it for...? You and Maggie don’t...? ALEX DANVERS What? No, of course not, that would be weird. A woman walks by bearing a huge resemblance to Catwoman. They both notice. ALEX DANVERS (CONT’D) Now that on the other hand. KARA DANVERS Okay, I’m sorry I asked. Kara and Alex start walking normally again. KARA DANVERS (CONT’D) Speaking of Maggie, I ran into her new partner when we were dealing with disasters together. ALEX DANVERS And? KARA DANVERS She seems nice. ALEX DANVERS Nice? KARA DANVERS She’s very good at her job. I don’t think you have any reason to worry. ALEX DANVERS How good exactly? KARA DANVERS I haven’t seen her go running into any burning buildings yet but I’m sure she’s more than capable if she wanted to. 33.

ALEX DANVERS You think so? KARA DANVERS I’m sure she’s at least safe enough to actually meet with for drinks. ALEX DANVERS Oh come on, I wasn’t that worried. KARA DANVERS You might want to tell you from a few days ago that because that’s not the impression that I got. Kara spots Alicia in the crowd. Alicia is talking to a man dressed in a suit, very out of place for where they are. He is a Lawyer. KARA DANVERS (CONT’D) I think that’s her. Alex sees who Kara is looking at. ALEX DANVERS That must be the lawyer who Maggie was talking about. KARA DANVERS What is he doing here? You don’t think? Could he be the contact? ALEX DANVERS I suppose it’s possible. But why? KARA DANVERS Let’s ask them. Kara moves toward them but Alex stops her. Alicia and the Lawyer stop talking and the Lawyer walks away. ALEX DANVERS Whoa, okay, I’m thinking with the way people here are around you, let’s limit your contact with your number one fan. I’ll talk to her, you talk to the lawyer. KARA DANVERS Good idea. Kara and Alex go towards their respective subjects. The Lawyer goes for the exits and uses a special exit to do so. Kara follows him. 34.

EXT. OUTSIDE SUPERCON - DAY Kara exits the convention centre only to find the Lawyer standing there waiting for her. LAWYER Hello Ms. Danvers. KARA DANVERS Who are you? LAWYER I’m a fan. KARA DANVERS I’m sorry? A fan of what, exactly? LAWYER Your work at Cat Co. It was quite engaging. I was sorry to see you go. KARA DANVERS (concerned) Thank you. How... how did you know it was me. LAWYER I expected you to come around eventually. KARA DANVERS And why is that? LAWYER One of the best parts of your work is how you always seem to get the exclusive on Supergirl. All those quotes and first hand accounts. It’s almost as if you had a personal relationship with her. KARA DANVERS I’m just... really good at my job. LAWYER Extremely good at it. That’s why I knew that you’d come around looking to talk to my client eventually. KARA DANVERS The girl you were talking to... Alicia? She’s your client? 35.

The Lawyer remains silent. KARA DANVERS (CONT’D) Why? Again the Lawyer remains silent. KARA DANVERS (CONT’D) She was arrested for putting people in danger. Why would you defend her? LAWYER Everyone deserves a fair trial, even a hero like her. KARA DANVERS A hero? LAWYER Of course. She put herself in harm’s way to help others, isn’t that the definition of a hero? KARA DANVERS Not when other people could get hurt. LAWYER Isn’t that what Supergirl does every day? All I’m saying is, Supergirl doesn’t get arrested every time she rushes into save anyone does she? Then I don’t see why Alicia should be treated any less than Supergirl for trying to help people. The Lawyer walks away. LAWYER (CONT’D) It was very nice to meet you Ms. Danvers. I hope to see you again soon.

INT. DEO HQ - DAY Kara, Alex and Wynn are walking through the DEO. KARA DANVERS There’s something really wrong with that lawyer. 36.

WYNN I’ll see what I can find out about him. Wynn hurries to a computer, leaving Kara and Alex walking together. ALEX DANVERS On the up side, Alicia wasn’t that bad. No real alarm bells other than her being a pretty big fan of yours. KARA DANVERS She’s still a fan? I thought for sure she’d hate me after I had her arrested. ALEX DANVERS Not that I could see. She spent a lot of our conversation talking about how she understands why you did what you did, but that she’s still going to try and help wherever she can. KARA DANVERS She’s not going away is she? ALEX DANVERS Doesn’t sound like it. WYNN Well isn’t that interesting. Alex and Kara catch up to Wynn at the computer. ALEX DANVERS You found something? WYNN It seems that our creepy Atticus Finch spends a lot of time in the same social media circles as our Miss Baker. KARA DANVERS So they know each other. WYNN Not that I can see. They weren’t directly connected on any social media that I can see. (MORE) 37. WYNN (CONT'D) However she did post about her being arrested by you on one of the groups they share. ALEX DANVERS And all the sudden he shows up to help? KARA DANVERS Well that’s not suspicious at all. ALEX DANVERS Look into him will you? WYNN As fast as my fingers will go.

INT. KARA DANVERS’ APARTMENT - DAY Kara Danvers is watching TV at home, the TV talking about Supercon and its success this year. The coverage mentions that Supergirl once again couldn’t attend because she was busy fighting crime, which makes Kara smile. Suddenly there’s a knock at the door. She goes to the door and opens it, Alicia Baker is on the other side. ALICIA BAKER Oh my god! KARA DANVERS (surprised) That... that was going... to be... (regaining composure) who are you? ALICIA BAKER It’s you. KARA DANVERS It’s... who? ALICIA BAKER It’s you! Alicia pushes her way into Kara’s apartment. KARA DANVERS I’m sorry... do I know you? ALICIA BAKER You’re... Kara Danvers. KARA DANVERS Yes, can I... can I help you? 38.

Alicia is looking around Kara’s apartment with awe. ALICIA BAKER You know Supergirl? KARA DANVERS Why... why would you say that? ALICIA BAKER You write all those articles about her. KARA DANVERS Oh, well... know her is probably... ALICIA BAKER Does she live here? KARA DANVERS What? No, absolutely... no... what makes you say...? ALICIA BAKER He told me to follow it but I didn’t really believe it. KARA DANVERS I’m sorry, who? Follow what? Alicia pulls out a small tracking device. She looks at it and follows a signal around Kara’s apartment. ALICIA BAKER He said it would lead me to Supergirl, but I didn’t believe him until you opened the door. KARA DANVERS I still have no idea what you’re talking about. Alicia stops at a counter and finds the bracelet that she gave to Supergirl on it. She picks it up. ALICIA BAKER Oh my god (to Kara) You DO know her. Kara runs up to Alicia and grabs the bracelet from her. KARA DANVERS No, n-no... I just... she asked me to, to hold onto it for her. (MORE) 39. KARA DANVERS (CONT'D) She doesn’t really have a place to keep it. Alicia watches Kara for a while before something appears to dawn on her. ALICIA BAKER Oh my god... it’s you! KARA DANVERS You said that already. ALICIA BAKER You’re her. You’re... SUPERGIRL! KARA DANVERS What? No... ALICIA BAKER You are, you’re her. I mean, how else do you explain having this? Alicia holds up Kara’s hand with the bracelet in it. KARA DANVERS I told you... I... she... she asked me to... ALICIA BAKER Hold it for you... right... oh my god I LOVE YOU! Alicia wraps her arms around Kara in a big hug. Kara taps her on the head with her super strength, knocking her out.

INT. DEO HQ - DAY Kara, Alex and Wynn are walking through the DEO. ALEX DANVERS Where is she now? KARA DANVERS I put her in one of the holding cells downstairs. I had to do something, and I couldn’t just let her go. WYNN We also can’t keep her. I mean technically she hasn’t done anything wrong. 40.

ALEX DANVERS She figured out Supergirl’s identity. KARA DANVERS But that’s not exactly a crime. ALEX DANVERS She invaded your privacy. WYNN We can’t just lock her up forever for that, can we? KARA DANVERS It’s not like she released my name online or on TV. ALEX DANVERS Yet. If you hadn’t knocked her out, we don’t know that she wouldn’t have gone straight for her smartphone. KARA DANVERS I don’t think she would’ve... she doesn’t... she wouldn’t do that. ALEX DANVERS You can’t know that. WYNN Kara’s right. ALEX DANVERS How do you know? KARA DANVERS She’s too much of a fan. ALEX DANVERS And giving out your identity would hurt you too much. (beat) So what do we do with her? KARA DANVERS We still need to figure out who that lawyer was. He still bugs me and I don’t like that he’s out there somewhere. WYNN I may have some answers on that. 41.

The three of them approach a console where Wynn pulls up information on the screen. WYNN (CONT’D) I’ve been looking into our creepy Atticus Finch and I may have found something. He seems to cause bad luck wherever he goes. ALEX DANVERS What do you mean? WYNN I looked at a lot of his movements over the past few weeks on social media, and he’s been checking in at all the places where Supergirl disasters have happened a matter of hours before they actually happen. KARA DANVERS Do you think he’s setting them off? WYNN The types of disasters are too diverse and there’s nothing in his history that would make me think he knows how to pull it off. ALEX DANVERS But as a lawyer he probably has access to all kinds of people who would know. WYNN We need more info on this guy. KARA DANVERS Then I guess I’ll have to ask my source. IN THE HOLDING AREA Supergirl walks into the holding area where Alicia Baker is in her cell. Alicia looks up and smiles at Supergirl. ALICIA BAKER It’s you. SUPERGIRL Yes, it’s me. It’s Supergirl. Kara Danvers told me you have an interesting theory about her. 42.

Alicia seems hurt by Supergirl’s last sentence. ALICIA BAKER You... you don’t have to worry about me telling anyone. I wouldn’t do that to you. You’re my hero. SUPERGIRL And it means a lot to hear you say that, but Kara Danvers and I are not the same person. Again Alicia seems hurt. SUPERGIRL (CONT’D) Although she did share with me some interesting info on the lawyer who got you out of jail. How well do you know him exactly? Has he helped you out before? ALICIA BAKER I’ve seen him at Supergirl social events but we’ve never really talked. When he showed up, he told me that he was a lawyer and he’d seen me on TV with you. He said he really wanted to help me and so I let him. SUPERGIRL So he was doing it pro-bono? ALICIA BAKER He said you sent him. That you felt bad for having me arrested and so you wanted to get me out. A beat passes. ALICIA BAKER (CONT’D) He wasn’t sent by you, was he? SUPERGIRL No, he wasn’t. A beat passes. SUPERGIRL (CONT’D) No matter what he might have done to help you, he’s not a good person. We think he may have caused the bank robbery you were caught in. I need to find him. 43.

ALICIA BAKER I don’t know how I can help. SUPERGIRL Did he give you anything? When you went to Kara’s apartment, you mentioned that “he told you”. Was it your lawyer? ALICIA BAKER He came up to me at an event. He told me that he received word that some of the bracelets were given tracking chips because people kept losing it and if I just followed the tracer he gave me that I would find it. AT THE CYBER COMMAND Alex and Wynn listen to the conversation. WYNN (to Alex) I’m on it. Wynn starts typing on a computer. IN THE HOLDING AREA SUPERGIRL So you followed it. Did he mentioned who told him? ALICIA BAKER No, he just said it was a client. AT THE CYBER COMMAND WYNN I think I have something. Three years ago, he defended a private detective in Hub City, and they’ve recently bought a bunch of tracking devices. ALEX DANVERS (to Supergirl over their earpieces) We may have something. IN THE HOLDING AREA Supergirl moves towards the exit. 44.

SUPERGIRL Thank you. ALICIA BAKER What are you going to do with me? SUPERGIRL Honestly? I’m not sure. Supergirl leaves the holding area. AT THE CYBER COMMAND SUPERGIRL (CONT’D) What do we have? WYNN A private detective bought a whole bunch of trackers, reportedly for a major operation according to the request he filed. I hacked into his company’s computer system and accessed the tracker’s software. I’m trying to pull up any active tracker’s now. The computer screen pulls up only one active tracking device. ALEX DANVERS It’s in the industrial area. WYNN It looks like whoever’s there is outside the warehouse where the trackers are manufactured. SUPERGIRL I’m on my way. Supergirl rushes off without listening to her sister’s objections. ALEX DANVERS Kara, wait!

EXT. WAREHOUSE - DAY Supergirl arrives from the sky outside a door to the warehouse. The Lawyer is standing outside the door and turns to meet Supergirl. 45.

LAWYER Hello Supergirl. It’s very nice to meet you. SUPERGIRL (suspiciously) It’s nice to meet you too. LAWYER I have to say that this is quite the honor for me. I’ve been waiting a long time for it. SUPERGIRL Well, I’m here. I’m assuming you know why. LAWYER I’m sorry for the cloak and dagger, but I didn’t think you would come if I walked up and asked. SUPERGIRL It depends on what you’re asking for. LAWYER Your help. The Lawyer opens the door to the warehouse. Supergirl cautiously approaches. SUPERGIRL You have a strange way of asking for help. LAWYER The problem is a strange one, or at least most people think so. Please, follow me. The Lawyer walks into the warehouse. Supergirl follows him cautiously.

INT. WAREHOUSE - DAY Supergirl and the Lawyer walk through the warehouse together very cautiously so as not to make noise. Supergirl is following the Lawyer. SUPERGIRL So what exactly is this problem you need help with? 46.

LAWYER As you can imagine, I meet a lot of people in my line of work. Recently I’ve started hearing about some really strange people. They’re very big fans of yours. SUPERGIRL I have a lot of fans. As the Lawyer speaks, they start to hear chants. LAWYER Not like these. The rise in accidents and crimes recently? I think they’re behind it. I’ve been hearing from a few former clients that it’s all part of some master plan, and from what I’ve been hearing, they should be meeting here today. In this warehouse in fact. SUPERGIRL But why? The chants get louder. LAWYER It’s all for you. Supergirl and the Lawyer hide as they come upon a large room with people in cloaks standing around who don’t notice them. The Lawyer moves out of Supergirl’s line of sight. SUPERGIRL Me? LAWYER They don’t think that you get the credit you deserve. All those anti- alien activists out there? They want to prove them wrong. To show them all what a great hero you can be. A true god on earth. SUPERGIRL You seem to know a lot about them. Why not just report it? LAWYER That would be self defeating. After all, I am one of them. 47.

Supergirl turns to the Lawyer, who is now wearing a cloak like the other people in the room. From his cloak, he reveals a piece of Kryptonite. Supergirl begins to feel weak and falls to the ground.

INT. DEO HQ - DAY Alex and Wynn are watching Alicia in her cell on the monitor. ALEX DANVERS She’s been gone too long. WYNN You think it was a trap? ALEX DANVERS I know it was, which is why Supergirl wouldn’t let us go with her. The only question is whether she knew what she was sending Supergirl into. Alex walks towards the holding area. IN THE HOLDING AREA ALEX DANVERS (CONT’D) What did you do to Supergirl? ALICIA BAKER What do you mean? ALEX DANVERS Don’t tell me you don’t know. You sent her into a trap. ALICIA BAKER What? No... ALEX DANVERS You couldn’t handle that Supergirl and Kara Danvers weren’t the same person so you sent Supergirl into a trap as revenge. ALICIA BAKER I would never do that. I... I love Supergirl. She’s my hero. ALEX DANVERS The thing about heroes is that they never live up to your expectations. 48.

ALICIA BAKER Supergirl does. A beat passes. ALEX DANVERS Then why did you send Supergirl after that Lawyer? ALICIA BAKER She asked me for my help, so I gave it to her. Unless... ALEX DANVERS Unless what? ALICIA BAKER Unless he was part of the group. ALEX DANVERS Which group? ALICIA BAKER There’s this group of Supergirl fans. They tried to recruit me, but they’re too creepy for me. You don’t really hear about them unless you’re really plugged into the fandom. They... have some really bad ideas. ALEX DANVERS What kind of ideas? ALICIA BAKER The kind that involve Kryptonite.

INT. WAREHOUSE - DAY People in robes are chanting together around an altar. The Lawyer is standing near the altar, making preparations for a ritual. Supergirl is tied to the altar unconscious, though she slowly comes out of it. SUPERGIRL What’s... what’s going on? LAWYER We’re preparing. SUPERGIRL Preparing for what? 49.

LAWYER For your ascension. SUPERGIRL I can fly, I don’t need to ascend. LAWYER You do for the place that you are going. The Lawyer turns to Supergirl. LAWYER (CONT’D) You are a god on earth, you do too much good for this world. It doesn’t deserve you. Gods deserve a higher place than this retched world. A place worthy of your greatness. A higher plane. Several cloaked people bring in a Phantom Zone projector. Supergirl can see it despite being tied down. SUPERGIRL That’s not a higher plane. It’s a prison. I know, I was trapped in it for years. LAWYER Some times even a prison can bring great joy to many, as you do. SUPERGIRL Why would you take me out of a place where I’m doing so much good? The Lawyer reveals a Kryptonite knife in his hands. LAWYER So that you can do so much more.

EXT. WAREHOUSE - DAY Alex and Alicia are walking towards the door Supergirl and the Lawyer went through. ALICIA BAKER You really think this will work? ALEX DANVERS They tried to recruit you right? You said you went to a few of their meetings. (MORE) 50. ALEX DANVERS (CONT'D) That means at least a few of them know who you are. I’m hoping that’s enough. ALICIA BAKER And if it’s not? Alex pulls out her gun. ALEX DANVERS Let’s hope it is. Alicia approaches the door and knocks. Alex hides just out of view with her gun ready. A man in a cloak with the hood lowered opens the door. ALICIA BAKER Is it time? Have they started yet? CLOAK GUY Alicia... you’re late. Everyone’s already assembled. Cloak Guy turns his back on Alicia and walks back into the warehouse. Alicia follows him.

INT. WAREHOUSE - DAY As Alicia enters, Alex follows quickly behind and knocks Cloak Guy out with the butt of her gun. ALEX DANVERS Looks like it worked. ALICIA BAKER Now we find Supergirl? ALEX DANVERS Now we find Supergirl. Alex takes the robe off of Cloak Guy and hands it to Alicia. ALEX DANVERS (CONT’D) Put this on. Alicia puts on the cloak. They start to go down the same path that Supergirl and the Lawyer did. ALICIA BAKER Why does Supergirl need your help? I mean, she’s Supergirl. 51.

ALEX DANVERS Even Supergirl can’t do everything you know. ALICIA BAKER But, you’re human. Aren’t you going to get hurt? ALEX DANVERS Doesn’t mean that I’m not going to give it. Chanting can be heard as they get closer. ALICIA BAKER Exactly, that’s what I was trying to do. Help Supergirl. ALEX DANVERS The difference between you and me is that I’ve been trained for this. I know what I’m getting myself into. ALICIA BAKER So regular people can’t help? ALEX DANVERS Of course they can, just not the way you wanted to. What you did put people in danger. ALICIA BAKER Isn’t that why people need to do it? Because it’s dangerous? Heroes have to be willing to die for others. Alex and Alicia get to the end of the hall. Alex looks around the corner to see a bunch of people in cloaked robes kneeling around an altar with Supergirl struggling on it. ALEX DANVERS No heroes are going to die today. We need to get to Supergirl. Go into the crowd and see if there’s a way to get to her. ALICIA BAKER Right. Alicia moves down the side of the current room, hiding among the worshipers. The Lawyer reveals the Kryptonite knife in his hand. 52.

LAWYER So that you can do so much more. Alex moves out from behind the corner. Looking up from Supergirl, the Lawyer looks towards Alex. LAWYER (CONT’D) Hello Ms. Danvers. SUPERGIRL (weak) Alex? Alex raises her gun to the Lawyer. ALEX DANVERS Let Supergirl go. LAWYER I can’t do that. Not until she’s ascended. SUPERGIRL Alex get out of here. ALEX DANVERS I’m not going to leave you here at the mercy of these lunatics. LAWYER Put down the gun Ms. Danvers. Even if you did shoot me, one of the other faithful will simply finish what I started. Kara Zor-El will ascend to her rightful place. You can’t stop what’s about to happen. Alicia, in her cloak, grabs the Lawyer’s hands with the Kryptonite knife in them. ALICIA BAKER Maybe she can’t, but I’ll stop you. Alicia and the Lawyer struggle with the knife over Supergirl. During the struggle, Supergirl uses her knee to hit the Lawyer’s arms and Alicia manages to get the knife out of his hands, making it fly across the room. Alex tries to join the fight but the other worshipers get in her way, forcing her to fight them. Both Alicia and the Lawyer go for the knife. LAWYER Why are you doing this? You could’ve been one of us. 53.

ALICIA BAKER You can’t take away Supergirl. She gives people hope. She gives ME hope. They both reach the knife at the same time, struggling for it but the Lawyer is clearly stronger. With the knife far enough away, Supergirl manages to escape but still weak. ALICIA BAKER (CONT’D) The kind of hope that makes me want to be a hero. LAWYER You’re not a hero. The Lawyer stabs Alicia with the knife. LAWYER (CONT’D) You’re just a sad, pathetic, lonely girl. With her powers back Supergirl rushes over to break up the fight, throwing the Lawyer into a wall and knocking him out. Supergirl kneels over Alicia but it’s obviously too late to help. Alicia smiles at Supergirl. ALICIA BAKER (dying) Did I... did I do... it? Did I finally get to be... a hero? Alex has finished with the worshipers and comes over as well. SUPERGIRL You did. You saved me. You were a hero. ALICIA BAKER That’s all... that’s all I ever... Alicia dies.

INT. KARA DANVERS’ APARTMENT - DAY Kara Danvers and Mon-El are sitting next to each other on her couch. MON-EL She sacrificed herself to save you? Kara just nods. 54.

MON-EL (CONT’D) I guess even crazy people can be heroes. KARA DANVERS She wasn’t crazy. She was just lost. (beat) You know, Clark used to tell me that doing what we do comes with a lot of responsibility. That it’s not just about beating up the bad guys. It’s about giving the good guys something to fight for. Something to really believe in. She needed something to believe in, and Supergirl gave her that. I don’t think I really understood how powerful that can be until now. MON-EL Are you going to be okay? Kara holds up the charm bracelet Alicia gave her. KARA DANVERS I have to be... for her.
