Quotes
-
Agent Liberty : I apologize for the blindfold. A necessary precaution; you understand.
James Olsen : Yeah, I get it. But I'm no threat to you. I came here on my own accord. To talk to you. To listen. I'm prepared to hear your side of the story. I mean, obviously, you have an agenda, but why? There has to be something. The core of your anger, something that's happened to you.
Agent Liberty : Something did happen to me, Mr. Olsen. I saw men struggling to remain relevant, to prove for their family. I saw human beings being treated less than they deserve. Less than exceptional.
James Olsen : Surely, there has to be a part of you that can find a commonality between aliens and humans. We just want good, safe lives for our loved ones.
Agent Liberty : No, we're not here to talk about my empathy, or lack thereof, for aliens.
James Olsen : Okay, you tell me. What am I writing?
Agent Liberty : You won't be writing anything. I'm giving you an opportunity to step in front of the camera for once, to *be* the story, to galvanize and to inspire. Because Guardian stands for everything that my followers strive for: human exceptionalism.
-
James Olsen : You want me to inspire your followers? And how exactly do you want me to do that?
Agent Liberty : I want you to destroy something. A monument, something that stands against everything we believe in.
James Olsen : I don't tear things down. That's not my style.
Agent Liberty : I get it. You're not a willing participant yet. But you will be. I believe in you, Mr. Olsen.

Caldwell : The fission rods were just delivered.
Agent Liberty : What about the rest? It's set?
Caldwell : Yeah.
Agent Liberty : Good. Then the men we lost on Thanksgiving will be avenged. And by tomorrow night, Supergirl will be dead.
-
Alex Danvers : Hey, I have to show you something.
Supergirl : Uh, okay, in a minute. Brainy, I need you to track...
Querl Dox : Missing alien fission rods? Already on it.
Supergirl : Great. And I need to track any rogue cargo ship...
Ben Lockwood : [Alex shows Kara her tablet] Ladies and gentlemen, you are watching "The Lockdown with Ben Lockwood."
Supergirl : What is that man doing on TV?
Alex Danvers : I told you I needed to show you something.
-
Ben Lockwood : And I'm sorry to say we're going to start tonight's show on a very somber note, because on Thanksgiving night, five men peacefully protesting the alien takeover of their home planet went missing.
Man on the Street : Roaches think they can just blow us out of the water whenever they want. They see Supergirl flying around, rounding up innocent people.
Supergirl : They're blaming me.
Ben Lockwood : Is Supergirl a hero? Or is she the seed that may very well cause the eradication of the human race?
Supergirl : [insulted] What?
Alex Danvers : Hey. Hey, you saved hundreds of people on Thanksgiving. And we don't even know if aliens were involved in the disappearances. We're still investigating.
-
Agent Liberty : [catching Tom trying to help James escape] Earth traitor.
James Olsen : [raising his arms in surrender] Stop. Stop. Stop it. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I'll do whatever you want. Just don't hurt him.
Agent Liberty : So, you see. I knew you'd heed the call.
-
Ben Lockwood : Tonight, the human hero Guardian pledged his allegiance to humanity as he exterminated not only the symbol of alien pride, but the greatest adversary...
[considering, he scratches the phrase out]
Ben Lockwood : But the greatest threat to our survival: Supergirl.
