Katie McGrath: Lena Luthor

Quotes 

• Lena Luthor : Talk about history repeating itself. Tracking Lex down through Eve... it's just like Kaznia.

  [Kara turns a cold shoulder] 

  Lena Luthor : Please, Kara, I'm sorry. Okay, I truly believed what I was doing was helping people.

  Kara Danvers : I told you, I don't want to talk about the past.

  Lena Luthor : Oh, come on, you can scream at me if you'd like. I know I deserve it. I know now that working with Non Nocere was a mistake, that working with Lex was a mistake...

  Kara Danvers : This isn't about Lex. This is about J'onn and Alex and all the other people that could have been killed today because they're on my team. Don't you understand that?

  Lena Luthor : No, I do. Of course I do.

  Kara Danvers : No, you don't. You have never understood what it means to share a secret identity with someone. How much danger that puts them in. You... you never even understood that I kept my identity from you because I wanted to protect you. And I know, I know that I hurt you by waiting so long to tell my truth. But what about all the ways you hurt me? You pretended to be my friend for weeks. Just so you could manipulate me. You stole from me. You convinced me to steal for you. And then, then, you even...

  [laughing scoff] 

  Kara Danvers : ...you... you used kryptonite on me. I made one mistake. *One* mistake that was only ever meant to protect you. And in return, all you did was hurt me in every way imaginable.

  Lena Luthor : I'm sorry.

  Kara Danvers : I know you are. But if you came to me looking for absolution, I can't give it to you.

• Lena Luthor : The medallion. You've been activated.

  Acrata : If I don't kill Supergirl, they'll kill my father.

  Lena Luthor : Killing for them, going down this path, it won't keep him safe.

  Acrata : How do you know?

  Lena Luthor : Because I've been down it before. I've done terrible things to protect myself and the people I love. But it has never kept me safe from pain. It's just brought me a new kind of misery. And I moved further and further away from the person I was, until one day I woke up and I was utterly alone. Years ago, we made a promise to each other. You jump, I jump. If you choose to go down this path... I will be there. If you want to get to Supergirl, you're gonna have to go through me.

• Lena Luthor : [seeing Eve reunited with her mother]  In the last world, she betrayed us. We may never know what was driving her, but... I do know what was driving you. You didn't want to tell me who you really were because you didn't want me to get hurt. But I did get hurt. And I did what I always do when people hurt me. I... built a wall and I suffocated behind it. Makes it very difficult to see things from other people's point of view. But I see yours now. And I am very sorry it took me so long.

  Supergirl : You know, when you showed up at my door this morning, I... I didn't wanna let you in. And I kept waiting for you to let me down. But at every turn, you came through. Building that suit, protecting my identity, supporting me. I wasn't ready to accept your apology. But maybe... *maybe* I am now.

  Lena Luthor : [uneasy]  Okay. What now?

  Supergirl : Well, there's still one bad guy left to catch.

  Lena Luthor : [offering a handshake]  Let's go take my brother down.

• Lena Luthor : Thank you for letting me in, Kara. It's been a year, and I still haven't come to terms with what I did. Shot my brother and... I mean, I thought I was protecting everyone, but it really started all that...

  Kara Danvers : I don't wanna talk about the past. All that matters now is the threat ahead of us and how we're going to stop it.

  Lena Luthor : Understood.

  Alex Danvers : [bursting in with Nia, J'onn, and M'gann]  Get down on the ground, now!

  Kara Danvers : No, Alex, no!

  Alex Danvers : You texted 911.

  Kara Danvers : Not about her. She's here to help us stop Lex. And Leviathan.

  Alex Danvers : [lowering her gun]  Oh.

• Supergirl : The bullet went through and through, but we still need to get you to a hospital.

  Lena Luthor : No, no, no, he's losing too much blood. There's no time.

  Supergirl : Okay. I can cauterize it, but it's gonna hurt.

  William Dey : Do it, do it.

  Supergirl : All right.

  William Dey : [groaning in pain as she uses her heat vision on the wound]  Oh, don't do it.

• Supergirl : What happened here?

  William Dey : I was following a lead. Got jumped. Ah, reporting 101. If you get kidnapped, you must be on the right track. Something Kara Danvers likes to say. She-she was working the case with me. I need to make sure she was all right.

  Lena Luthor : Kara's fine. I spoke to her, she's in a safe place.

• J'onn J'onzz : So Lex and Leviathan are planning something using Obsidian's virtual reality platform.

  Lena Luthor : And my tech likely made that possible.

  Alex Danvers : That must be why Rama Khan went after the DEO's kryptonite.

  Nia Nal : To keep Supergirl from interfering.

  Kara Danvers : Well, the joke's on Rama Khan and his big, dumb gladiator outfit, because I've already defeated him once.

  J'onn J'onzz : Don't be rash, Kara. He's tied to the Earth. Which means he can track your slightest movements. If you use your powers even once, he will sense them, and attack.

  M'gann M'orzz : With all that kryptonite at his fingertips, he could kill you.

  Kara Danvers : You guys will protect me.

  Alex Danvers : Just like we protected the DEO?

• Lena Luthor : I haven't made Kara an anti-kryptonite suit in this world. But I could. Just need to get you safely to my lab.

  Alex Danvers : Your lab is across the city. And Kara can't use her powers.

  J'onn J'onzz : We could get her there. If we had the right distraction.

  M'gann M'orzz : Or the right decoys.

  J'onn J'onzz : [seeing her wink, he gets what she's implying]  N-No, no, no way. Absolutely not. I can tell those pants will chafe.

• Lena Luthor : It's Eve's location.

  Kara Danvers : I'm going.

  Lena Luthor : No, Kara, your suit isn't ready yet.

  Kara Danvers : I don't care. Protecting people is what I do. You should know that by now.

  Lena Luthor : Then I'm going with you.

• Kelly Olsen : William texted me last night that he was going after Eve Teschmacher. I haven't been able to reach him since.

  Kara Danvers : William went after Eve alone?

  Alex Danvers : No super-hearing.

  Kara Danvers : Sorry.

  Lena Luthor : Eve Teschmacher? She's back?

• Supergirl : [seeing Leviathan appear]  Get William and Eve out of here. I'll deal with this.

  Lena Luthor : Are you mad? They've got kryptonite.

  Supergirl : Well, then you'd better get that suit here fast.

  Lena Luthor : [taking out her phone]  It's already on its way.

• Alex Danvers : It's not just Rama Khan out there. There's three of them. Each with a different element-bending power.

  Lena Luthor : Where are the others?

  Alex Danvers : J'onn was injured. M'gann and Dreamer took him back to the Tower.

  Kara Danvers : I should have been there, fighting alongside you. I'm sorry.

  Alex Danvers : Kara, it's okay. We all still have our ears.

• Lena Luthor : Kelly opened a back door into the festival. It should help protect you from the kill switch.

  Supergirl : Well, hopefully, we can get everyone out before Lex and Gemma hit it.

  Lena Luthor : You will.

  Supergirl : [putting her lenses in]  Let's do this.

  [entering the Obsidian VR] 

  Supergirl : Wow. This is amazing. I've never seen anything like this. No wonder so many people signed up.

• Supergirl : It's not working. There are too many people. They... they feel connected to their loved ones. It's... it's spiritual. I have no idea how to break through to them.

  Lena Luthor : I think I can give you a way to talk to everyone at once.

  [as she types on her keyboard, multiple Karas appear] 

  Lena Luthor : Try now.

  Supergirl : I need you all to listen to me. You're in danger.

• Nia Nal : And that's when their bodies started to reform like out of a horror movie.

  Alex Danvers : Yeah, but that means...

  Kelly Olsen : They're indestructible.

  M'gann M'orzz : Immortal.

  Supergirl : This isn't about defeating them anymore. They want us to fight until we drop. So they can distract us from whatever Lex is planning.

  Lena Luthor : Do we even know what that is?

  Supergirl : I'm gonna go find out.

• Kelly Olsen : There's nearly a billion people logged into the Unity Fest already.

  Alex Danvers : Can we shut down the system?

  M'gann M'orzz : Or destroy it somehow?

  Lena Luthor : No. The Luthor power core has an indestructible failsafe.

  Nia Nal : So, you're saying we need to convince potentially billions of people to log out of a virtual reality paradise of their own free will. Hope you've got one of those classic hope speeches handy.

  Supergirl : I mean, I've done it before, but never on this level.

  Alex Danvers , Lena Luthor : Oh, if anyone can do it, it's you.

  Alex Danvers : Jinx.

• Lena Luthor : I never thought I'd see the day. Obsidian Platinum, the most popular VR platform ever created.

  Supergirl : And not a single person's using it.
