Brainiac-5 : Why would anyone hurt her...
Head Guard : He's done. On to the other one, boys.
Brainiac-5 : [rebooting like a computer] No. No! No! No, you can't! You can't! Little boxes. Boxes... eventually boxes get opened. There's a story about that, right? It's Greek?
[he's zapped with energy and grunts in pain]
Brainiac-5 : [his voice changing back and forth] You're just primitives. And I have worked so hard to get back here. You people forget that time travel is also space travel, too. You see, Earth is moving at 67,000 miles per hour. And at different times, it's in different places, so you got to do the math or else you end up in space. And the math is not easy! My point is... my point is, my point is, I'm from the future.
Head Guard : I think you knocked the dots off his dice.
Brainiac-5 : What I'm trying to tell you is that my *species* has ancestral memory. And my ancestors, very bad people. They were collectors, conquerors...
[crying]
Brainiac-5 : I remember everything!
[sounds of power increasing]
Brainiac-5 : Uh-oh. Don't want...
[laughing, he shuts down, then powers back up]
Brainiac-5 : In short, you rebooted me. Aligned me with my more... emotionless ancestors. And that was a calamitous mistake.
-
Querl Dox : Secretary Lockwood chose to cope with his grief by going on a superpowered rampage.
Alex Danvers : So he injected himself with Harun-El?
Lena Luthor : Yeah, and he took our entire stock.
Querl Dox : And then he came back to trash the place, to boot.
Lena Luthor : Wait. He's the key. And he's been in front of us this entire time.
Alex Danvers : Lockwood?
Lena Luthor : Lockwood must be connected to Lex.
-
Lena Luthor : A copy was made when Supergirl touched the Harun-El. Her name's Red Daughter, and Lex has taught her to hate America.
Querl Dox : This explains how Supergirl was framed for the White House attack.
Lena Luthor : Right, so what do we do?
Alex Danvers : I can hunt a rogue Kryptonian. I will find her. Brainy, go. Get J'onn and find those aliens.
Querl Dox : I will bring Dreamer with. We will stop Lex from using them for his nefarious purposes. And I will tell Dreamer that I am in love with her.
Lena Luthor : [taken aback] Great.
Alex Danvers : [stunned, as well] Okay.
Lena Luthor : Good luck.
-
Lena Luthor : We went to Kaznia and we found Lex's lab. He's been experimenting on aliens, trying to harness their powers. And a lot of these aliens seem to come from a DEO facility in the desert.
Querl Dox : Find the missing aliens, find Lex.
Lena Luthor : But whatever we do, we better do it fast. Lex is planning on invading America.
Querl Dox : What?
Alex Danvers : You should've led with that.
Lena Luthor : Well, then you're gonna love this. Lex has a clone of Supergirl.
Alex Danvers : What?
Querl Dox : You should've led with *that*.
-
Dreamer : Brainy, tell me the odds.
Querl Dox : There is a 56.3% chance that faking our capture will lead to our actual capture.
J'onn J'onzz : So, no Wookiee. Look, I'll fly the perimeter, see if I can find a safe place to get us in. You two stay here, watch the gate. Log anything important.
-
J'onn J'onzz : This is where the latest Alien Affairs raid took place. Three aliens were taken. I can feel their fear.
[finding a keychain with a unicorn fob]
J'onn J'onzz : Does this mean anything to you, Brainy?
Querl Dox : What?
[glancing at the keychain indifferently]
Querl Dox : I... I don't know. Where's Nia? She should be here by now. There's something very important I have to tell her.
J'onn J'onzz : Okay, but shouldn't we try and save the world first?
Querl Dox : No! No, that's exactly why I have to tell her now. I need to get this out of my system before all the punching and exploding starts. Causality be damned. If I tell her how I feel, normal function will resume.
J'onn J'onzz : I'm not sure that's how love works.
Querl Dox : How does it work?
Dreamer : [appearing behind him] How does what work?
Querl Dox : [covering] Uh, tacos.
-
J'onn J'onzz : All right. Private security cameras everywhere, power-dampening clubs. They're guarding something important.
Dreamer : I have an idea to get us in. We do a Wookiee Gambit.
J'onn J'onzz : Absolutely not.
Querl Dox : A Wookiee what?
J'onn J'onzz : You haven't seen "Star Wars"?
Querl Dox : I believe I've been adequately shamed for that in the past, thank you.
Dreamer : Basically, J'onn shapeshifts as a guard and pretends to bring us in as prisoners. It's the best way to get in.
J'onn J'onzz : Why does everyone always think getting captured is the best plan?
-
Ben Lockwood : [really Brainy] It is I, Secretary...
[clearing his throat]
Ben Lockwood : Secretary Benjamin Lockwood. I have captured the alien outlaw Dreamer. Open the gate and allow us entry.
Dreamer : [the guard signals to open the gate] It's working.
Ben Lockwood : Obviously.
[their guard dog begins barking]
Ben Lockwood : Dog. How many times do I have to tell you, we cannot keep enslaving these animals for our own, uh, nefarious purposes.
Guard 1 : Sorry, sir, but we have to check.
[he waves his wand, canceling Brainy's image inducer and ending the façade]
Brainiac-5 : Our odds of being captured just went up.
-
Querl Dox : J'onn, I need your help.
[seeing Kara is there]
Querl Dox : Kara. You're hurt.
Kara Danvers : I-I was, but I'm fine now. Where's Alex?
Querl Dox : She's looking into the Supergirl clone; Red Daughter. Lena told us everything.
Kara Danvers : She's gonna get herself killed.
J'onn J'onzz : Don't do this.
Querl Dox : [she speeds out] Now, I could use your help finding some aliens.
-
Dreamer : I just had a vision. That keychain; an alien girl was riding that unicorn. She was being chased by a wolf.
J'onn J'onzz : Wolves are symbols of danger.
Querl Dox : Uh... phone.
J'onn J'onzz : [handing his phone over] Sure.
Querl Dox : [data interfacing] Wolf. Chordata, Mammalia, Carnivora. Uh, no, no. Um... the archaic word for wolf in Irish is Faol... Faolan Shipping, maybe? They're a subsidiary of a subsidiary... of Lex Luthor's favorite shell company. AmerTek.
-
Querl Dox : Now that we have a moment alone, I have something to say to you. These past few months, I've really...
Dreamer : [spotting something] I can't believe it.
Querl Dox : What?
Dreamer : That's her. The girl from my vision. The keychain must have belonged to her. Brainy, something terrible's gonna happen to her in there.
Querl Dox : You know what? 56.3 isn't that bad, by our standards. Let's go get her.
Dreamer : Image inducer?
Querl Dox : Yes. I'll have to be someone they can't say no to.
-
Brainiac-5 : Where is she? If you hurt her...
Head Guard : You'll what? Everyone else in here, they've got these crazy powers. You, as far as I can tell, are blue. The girl, on the other hand...
Brainiac-5 : Please. Please, do... do whatever you want with me, but do not hurt her.
Head Guard : Don't worry, she's next.
Brainiac-5 : [forcefully] You will not hurt her!
-
J'onn J'onzz : [seeing a group of Alien Affair agents unconscious] What happened?
Brainiac-5 : I'm free.
-
Querl Dox : They're draining alien power and converting it to kinetic energy for use in what looks like a version of the Claymore particle weapon. Yet there does not appear to be any extraction equipment on premeses.
J'onn J'onzz : I did find a transmatter portal.
Querl Dox : Then they must be moving the alien prisoners to a secondary location to drain their power. We must find and disable it.
J'onn J'onzz : Yeah, sure, but Brainy, what about Dreamer?
Querl Dox : Yes. She could be useful. I believe I know where they took her.
J'onn J'onzz : Hey, are... are you feeling okay?
Querl Dox : I am not experiencing any pain.
-
Dreamer : Brainy.
Querl Dox : [cold as a reptile] The fifth. Give me four seconds to release your bindings.
Dreamer : But how did you escape?
Querl Dox : Your hands are free.
[her restraints open]
Querl Dox : Give me four more seconds.
Dreamer : You can hack the network now?
Querl Dox : Yes. I am much more focused.
-
Querl Dox : I'm not going to release you.
Dreamer : [he re-restrains her wrists] What are you doing?
Querl Dox : You have to go through the portal.
Dreamer : What?
Querl Dox : Once you're on the other side, astral project. Inform me of the location and we'll liberate the camp and foil Luthor.
Dreamer : [he moves to leave] Brainy. Brainy, you can't do this.
Querl Dox : I thought you would be happy. After all, this was your idea in the first place.
-
J'onn J'onzz : Brainy, where's Dreamer?
Querl Dox : I left her behind. She'll send us an astral projection when she arrives at the next location.
J'onn J'onzz : We're not leaving her alone.
Querl Dox : You're right.
[he thrusts his hand into pressure points on J'onn's body]
Querl Dox : We double our odds if you're taken through the gate with her.
J'onn J'onzz : [strained, as he falls] Brainy.
Querl Dox : You will regain your ability to move in two minutes, fourteen seconds. Just enough time for you to be captured. And if you both fail, well, then I'll just think of something else.
[walking away]
Querl Dox : I always do.
