Chyler Leigh: Alex Danvers

Quotes 

• Querl Dox : What is it?

  Supergirl : Oh. Nia Nal saw that picture this morning and kinda freaked out.

  Querl Dox : Nia Nal?

  Supergirl : Yeah. She said it reminded her of a nightmare or something. Who knows if that's true.

  Querl Dox : Nightmare? And you just let her go?

  Supergirl : Yeah.

  Alex Danvers : What are you talking about?

  Querl Dox : There's no version of me telling you what I know that does not impact the space-time continuum.

  Supergirl , Alex Danvers : Whoa.

  Alex Danvers : Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You know about Nia Nal in the 31st century? What... Brainy, who is she?

  Querl Dox : Better we don't discuss that. Future, abrogation, the butterfly effect, casual loops, etc, etc. Why do you think I kep this from you at Thanksgiving when I so easily, you expertly, deduced her import? All you need to know is that Nia might be able to lead us to Agent Liberty. We must go her at once.

• Frank : I'm Agent Liberty.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Frank... respectfully, you are not leadership material. However, we know you were on Shelley Island, and your background has oddly been erased. So I've got a hunch you can tell us who Agent Liberty is.

  Frank : I am Agent Liberty.

  Alex Danvers : [watching the surveillance feed]  We offer plea deals, we tell them we're gonna lock them up, and they just keep saying the same thing.

  Querl Dox : Doing a Spartacus. By which I mean our captured Children of Liberty claim the identity of their hero.

  Supergirl : [approaching]  Oh, you're watching the classics.

  Querl Dox : I'm mastering them. Would you like to discuss auteur theory and the works of Ed Wood?

  Supergirl : Yeah, definitely.

  Alex Danvers : Any leads from CatCo?

  Supergirl : No. No, but we're getting close. I can feel it in my gut.

  Querl Dox : Could be a probiotic issue.

• Alex Danvers : Go see Nia, and let me know if you have any leads. Then at least I'll have something to report to the president.

  Supergirl : Oh, you're having another one-on-one with the president?

  [Alex clicks her tongue] 

  Supergirl : Ooh, I hope Haley so gets yelled at.

• President Baker : This is a complete disaster.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Lives were saved on Shelley Island. A dozen domestic terrorists were brought to justice.

  President Baker : I'm talking about my poll numbers, which just got a big old shave.

  Alex Danvers : I'm sorry, you're letting the polls...

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Uh, sir, you-you have my word, as soon as we take down this organization's leader, your numbers will be back to their usual luster.

  President Baker : You think finding Agent Liberty will fix this, find Agent Liberty!

• Colonel Lauren Haley : For reasons of national security, from now on, the DEO will require full transparency from its assets.

  President Baker : We need to know your secret identity, Supergirl.

  Alex Danvers : No. We keep her off the books for a reason. She can't tell you that, sir.

  President Baker : And why not? Lockwood just shined a huge spotlight on the fact that you are withholding who you really are. Now, keeping that secret inflames things. Gives the public more reasons to distrust you and my government.

  Supergirl : If I did that, sir, everyone I know, everyone I love, would be at risk.

  President Baker : My family is with the Secret Service as we speak. You think they're not in danger? No one should be above the rest of us. We need to put country first.

  Supergirl : I'm sorry, sir. I can't give you what you want.

  President Baker : Then I thank you for your service, but you're dismissed, effective immediately. I hope you'll comply. The United States does not want a war with Supergirl.

  Supergirl : Then I trust you won't start one.

  Alex Danvers : [as Baker and Haley leave]  Okay, just give me some time. They'll come around.

  Supergirl : Protect this place, and everything it stands for.

• Kara Danvers : Brainy, Nia, and I are in Collinwood, where we ran into a bunch of Children of Liberty.

  Alex Danvers : Are you okay?

  [realizing the stupidity of the question] 

  Alex Danvers : Well, of course you're okay.

  Kara Danvers : They took us to this factory, and it has weapons and supplies; war room stuff. But guess who the factory belonged to first. Ben Lockwood.

  Alex Danvers : What?

  Kara Danvers : Do you think there's a chance he might be Agent Liberty?

  Alex Danvers : [glancing at an image of Liberty on a monitor]  Well, let's find out.

• Alex Danvers : Hi, Frank. Uh, the plea deal's off the table.

  Frank : What? Why?

  Alex Danvers : It was for your cooperation, but now we don't need it. We know that Lockwood is Agent Liberty.

  Frank : Lockwood? Who?

  Alex Danvers : Oh, so you're still siding with him.

  [to Kara on the phone] 

  Alex Danvers : He's still siding with him.

  Frank : Who are you talking to?

  Alex Danvers : Um, listen, you know what? That's fine. But if you change your mind, just give me a call from whatever black site they send you to.

  Frank : [as she reaches the door]  Wait.

  Alex Danvers : [she hides a smirk; after a moment]  It's him.

  Kara Danvers : Are you sure?

  Alex Danvers : We got the bastard.
