Staz Nair: William Dey

Quotes 

• J'onn J'onzz : Wait a minute. These people will all think Lex saved them.

  Supergirl : Wasn't Lex the one who put 'em in here?

  William Dey : Apparently not. Listen to this.

  Margot : [he shows them his phone]  Amy Sapphire was right. Technology is the greatest evil mankind has ever faced. I will continue her work by killing people until the world wakes up from its apathy.

  William Dey : She was an acolyte of Amy Sapphire's. She'd been kidnapping Obsidian Platinum users for weeks. Took full responsibility. I was sure Lex was behind this.

  J'onn J'onzz : Yeah. We all were.

  Supergirl : I don't understand. Lex, a real hero? How could this be true?

• Kara Danvers : Are these baked goods?

  William Dey : Yes. Scones, sticky toffee pudding, and banoffee pie, all my mother's favorite recipes for comfort food. I... I hope it helps.

  Kara Danvers : [trying to contain her excitement]  Oh, my god!

  Alex Danvers : You made all of this?

  William Dey : Well, I didn't want to show up empty-handed coming here, asking for help... with a story on Lex Luthor and Obsidian.

• William Dey : Before your father's funeral, Kelly and I were onto this idea that Lex had done something to Obsidian to cause people to get stuck in VR and disappear.

  Kelly Olsen : The missing people were wearing Obsidian lenses.

  William Dey : And a friend of mine from the NSA found a cluster of users all at the same address, a warehouse. But when I checked, it was empty. Only weird thing was a hospital ID bracelet on the ground. So, I checked it for fingerprints. I found one and sent it to my buddy at the NSA. Now, he just called me back with results while I was baking. The bracelet belonged to Richard Bates.

  Kelly Olsen : The same person who hacked Obsidian's failsafe.

  Alex Danvers : And who I beat up in VR.

  William Dey : One and the same. And get this: the hospital has no record of a Richard Bates ever being admitted.

  Alex Danvers : Wait a minute. Kelly, you said there was a list of users that are still stuck in VR, right? Can you show me that?

  Kelly Olsen : Yeah.

  [taking out her tablet] 

  Kelly Olsen : Here. This is the current list of users.

  Alex Danvers : Bonnie. I-I-I met this girl in VR. Why would anyone want to keep her there?

  William Dey : Human testing. Organ harvesting.

  Kara Danvers : And if people are getting hurt in Obsidian, we need to find out about it and expose them.

  William Dey : If we find the proof, I'll run the story. It'll be around the globe in minutes. The world will know if Obsidian is endangering them.
