Rick Malverne : Detective Sawyer. And they say there's never a cop around when you need one.
Maggie Sawyer : So you know me?
Rick Malverne : Of course. I took a whole year planning this. Watching Alex, preparing. I know everything.
Supergirl : How did you know I was Supergirl?
Rick Malverne : A day at the beach. Before you started wearing glasses. Back then, I had no idea that Alex would end up playing for the other team, so to speak. I was just happy she showed up on the date. Then there was a crash. And Alex's kid sister walked away without a scratch. People at school said it was adrenaline, but, uh...
Maggie Sawyer : But you didn't believe that.
Rick Malverne : I saw Kara Danvers do something amazing. And it stayed with me. I knew Kara was living in National City, and then Supergirl showed up in National City... I put two and two together. I knew it was you.

Supergirl : What happened to you? I remember when Alex had the chicken pox, I was eating lunch by myself. And you came and sat with me.
Rick Malverne : I was fourteen. And I didn't have the nice house or the perfect family that you and your sister had.
Supergirl : You think we had it easy? You have no idea what Alex sacrificed for me. Or what I was going through!
Rick Malverne : Why, because you had to hide your superpowers? I was hiding bruises! Do you have any idea what it's like to have your mother tell you you're garbage every single night? A belt whenever you had the wrong opinion? And then I found a lifeline. A dad that my mom kept from me. And he saved me from her and he moved me away from Midvale. And even though he was always struggling, he always made sure there was food on the table, and he got me enough money to go to college. And then three years ago, the State took him away from me.
Maggie Sawyer : Your father killed two people. He confessed.
Rick Malverne : They had it coming. And now I'm gonna rescue him like he rescued me. I can't believe that we're still talking about me! You have 24 hours and eleven minutes. Come on, Kara, show us some of that rah-rah Midvale Junior High spirit. FREE MY DAD! Or your sister dies.

Rick Malverne : [taunting Kara and Maggie about Alex] You know what'll be fun? Finding out which one of you loves her more. Honestly, I wouldn't know where to place my bet.
-
Kara Danvers : Maggie, Winn found Alex.
Maggie Sawyer : What? How?
Kara Danvers : [to Rick, then to Maggie] I guess you underestimated my sister. Let's go.
Rick Malverne : I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Kara Danvers : You're delusional. And the second we get back here with Alex, you're going to prison with your dad.
Rick Malverne : Don't say I didn't warn you.
-
Supergirl : Where is she?
Rick Malverne : I told you not to go there.
Supergirl : Tell me where she is now!
Rick Malverne : I gave you 36 hours to break my father out of prison. But you didn't listen. So now, that room is gonna fill up with water in less than four hours. I think it's time you got moving.

Alex Danvers : Kara! I-I... I sent out a signal. I thought you were coming.
Supergirl : He re-routed the IP address. He sent us somewhere else. Do you have any idea where you are?
Alex Danvers : I was unconscious. I-I-I could be hours away or I could be in the city. I... I don't know.
Rick Malverne : Alex, it's Rick. I don't want to hurt you. I keep on telling your sister that. Tell her to get my father, and this can all be over. You can come home and get dry.
Alex Danvers : No. Kara, no. You do not give that terrorist what he wants. You cannot let yourself be blackmailed. You cannot open yourself up to that, ever. Do you understand me? Supergirl is bigger than me.
-
Rick Malverne : Under two hours. The clock is ticking fast.
Maggie Sawyer : I know. And if it ticks down completely, we both lose. And I don't think you want to lose.
Rick Malverne : Neither do you. I was wrong about Kara. She's too much of a Girl Scout to do what I need her to do. I misjudged her. But I may have discounted you. You're a cop. You can just walk into that prison and break my father free if you want to. You care for her. I've seen that.
Maggie Sawyer : Stalking us.
Rick Malverne : The way you look at her. The way your hand touches her hand when you're walking down the street. Love can make people do things that they don't normally do. So, please, help us bring back the people we love.
