Supergirl (TV Series)

Fight or Flight (2015)

David Harewood: Hank Henshaw

Quotes 

• Hank Henshaw : Have you lost your mind? What were you thinking giving interviews?

  Kara Danvers : I wouldn't say it was an interview exactly. It was more of a private conversation that's being published.

  Hank Henshaw : What's next? A book deal? A reality show? Keeping Up with the Kryptonians?

• Supergirl : Reactron? That's kind of a stupid name. Who named him that?

  Hank Henshaw : Jimmy Olsen.

  Supergirl : Oh.

• Kara Danvers : So what are you saying? We just sit back and do nothing?

  Hank Henshaw : Reactron, whoever he is, is human. Which means this case falls out of the DEO's jurisdiction.

  Kara Danvers : This man flies and shoots nuclear fireballs! How is that not extra-normal?

  Alex Danvers : He's using advanced biomedical tech. Man-made tech.

  Hank Henshaw : I can't risk exposing this organization every time some human criminal shows up in National City.

  Kara Danvers : And I can't just let the man run wild.

  Hank Henshaw : Call your cousin. Superman fights for truth, justice and the American way. Last time I checked, National City was in America.

• Agent Vasquez : Sir, we have a code gray. It's coming from the NCH. Looks like a multiple car collision. Highway Patrol officers and medical personnel are en route. No sign of alien activity. We're clear.

  Hank Henshaw : Run a thermal scan to be sure. And Ms. Danvers, next time you're thinking of talking to the press...

  [turning around, he sees Supergirl is gone] 

  Alex Danvers : She's excited. It's her first pile-up.

• Hank Henshaw : Agent Danvers, what are you doing?

  Alex Danvers : I'm helping Kara. To stop Reactron.

  Hank Henshaw : It's been increasingly difficult for you to follow orders since your sister flew onto the scene.

  Alex Danvers : When you asked me to join the DEO, I didn't hesitate, because you told me that together, we were gonna save the world. Except saving the world means everybody; aliens, humans, I can't... I can't separate them anymore. Especially when my little sister's life is at stake.

• Alex Danvers : Kara, we may have a way for you to stop Krull.

  Hank Henshaw : Krull's chest unit is powered by a demon core, a subcritical mass of plutonium.

  Alex Danvers : If you can remove it from his suit, it should shut down his weaponry.

  Hank Henshaw : But the core will melt down the very moment it's freed from its containment matrix.

  Supergirl : There has to be some way to stop him without nuking the city.

  Alex Danvers : You need to encase the core in lead before you rip it free.
