Quotes 

• Querl Dox : What exactly transpired?

  Kara Danvers : All I know is that he was shot in his own office from behind. They used a hollow-point bullet. It... splintered.

  Nia Nal : Who would do something so horrible?

  J'onn J'onzz : Someone without a soul. This has to be Manchester Black. At the march, he threatened me. He swore to come after me and my family, everyone I care about. Seems he started with James.

  Kara Danvers : We have to find him.

  J'onn J'onzz : Stay with James. He needs his friends right now. I'll find Manchester. This ends today.

• J'onn J'onzz : I found Manchester. He's done something terrible. I can sense it.

  Kara Danvers : I'm coming with you.

• Alex Danvers : Hey. Where are you going?

  J'onn J'onzz : After Manchester Black. He's the one responsible.

  Alex Danvers : Well, be safe. Kara and I can hold down the fort.

  Kara Danvers : No, I, uh... I... I have to go to CatCo.

  Alex Danvers : Now? I mean, James is your best friend.

  Kara Danvers : Well, he would want to know that someone could be there if he couldn't.

  Alex Danvers : What if something happens?

  Kara Danvers : I'll be back soon.

• Supergirl : What is this place?

  J'onn J'onzz : This is where my father died.

  [the ground rumbles, and he falls into a crater] 

  J'onn J'onzz : Supergirl!

  Supergirl : I'm on it.

  [time appears to stop] 

  Manchester Black : [appearing with the staff of H'ronmeer]  Hello, J'onn.

• J'onn J'onzz : How are you capable of this?

  Manchester Black : When you broke into my mind to stop me from killing the Lockwood brood, you opened up a motorway. It goes both ways. So whenever you poke around in my mind, I can poke around in yours. So I did. And looky what I found. Your people's most powerful weapon.

  J'onn J'onzz : You don't know what you're toying with.

  Manchester Black : Oh, but I do. I dug deep into your mind. And the ground. You call yourself a man of peace, Martian, but your god was one of wrath!

• J'onn J'onzz : Manchester was trying to show me what could happen if I continue to sit idly by. I have left you and Alex alone to face dangers. Is choosing the path of peace worth it if it means I could lose everyone I care about?

  Kara Danvers : After what happened on Krypton, the way my mom stood by and did nothing, I've always sworn that if I can act, I will. But until you took your vow of peace, I didn't truly understand that simply by standing with someone you can make them feel braver. J'onn, the only reason Alex and I can face danger the way we do is because we know you're standing by us. In whatever way you choose.

  J'onn J'onzz : Thank you. What should we do now?

  Kara Danvers : Well, certainly, Manchester wants you to hunt him, so he can exploit your psychic connection and attack you, and we've just been playing into his hands. So maybe the best thing to do now is let him come to us.

• Kara Danvers : You should give that ring back to Brainy. He'll be happy to see it.

  J'onn J'onzz : I'm not ready to explain how I got it.

  Kara Danvers : James is okay. The whole city is okay because of you.

  J'onn J'onzz : Yeah, but at what cost? Manchester is dead.

  Kara Danvers : I know you're trying to follow your father's code, but what happened today doesn't change who you're trying to be.

  J'onn J'onzz : But I don't know who that is, Kara. One thing I do know...

  [giving the ring to her] 

  J'onn J'onzz : I am not a man of peace.

• J'onn J'onzz : You burned my father's grave to teach me a theology lesson?

  Manchester Black : You forget H'ronmeer's punishments. You're a hypocrite. Wake up, man! It's time you followed the true righteous path. And we can put a stop to the hate that's burning this world up, just like it burned up Mars. We can stop it together.

  Supergirl : [as he disappears, time resumes]  I heard everything. J'onn, what did he mean when he said "the punishments"?

• J'onn J'onzz : H'ronmeer tested the Martian people in many ways. And when they failed him, they were punished.

  Kara Danvers : A god of wrath.

  J'onn J'onzz : We can't just track Manchester. We'll have to find him another way.

  Kara Danvers : The sacred symbols. Your Bible.

  J'onn J'onzz : Maybe they can tell us what Manchester is planning to do next. The symbols are full of tales of H'ronmeer's vengeance. When he would use violence to enforce a moral law. Manchester can use the staff to recreate the punishments, one by one. All because I let him into my head. All to force me into violence.

  Kara Danvers : You told me yourself you thought Manchester was a test. Don't let him bait you. Let's find him and let's stop him.

• Kara Danvers : Power surge?

  J'onn J'onzz : [using his powers]  Manchester's at the dam. It powers the whole city. With the staff, he can wipe it out.

  Kara Danvers : Let's go.

• J'onn J'onzz : Manchester!

  Manchester Black : [brandishing the staff]  Well, well. It's about time. Come and get it, Martian of peace!

• Supergirl : [Manchester uses the staff to deflect her heat vision]  The dam's cracked. He's gonna flood the whole city.

  J'onn J'onzz : Go. This war is mine.

• J'onn J'onzz : Stop this madness! You'll kill thousands of innocent people.

  Manchester Black : This world is already tearing itself apart. If you want to stop that, don't fight me. Join me.

  J'onn J'onzz : Never.

• Manchester Black : If you don't stand up and fight, you'll lose everything. Again.

  J'onn J'onzz : [seeing a memory of his children]  Khym. Tania.

• Supergirl : J'onn. Where's Manchester?

  J'onn J'onzz : [evasively]  Let's go see James.
