Parasite Lost (2018)

April Parker Jones: Colonel Lauren Haley

Quotes 

• Colonel Lauren Haley : Director Danvers, a word.

  Querl Dox : Interpreting tone is not my strong suit. But I sense this is not good.

• Colonel Lauren Haley : I've noticed you reorganized the strike team command and control system.

  Alex Danvers : I did.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Are you aware that system has been in place since the DEO's inception?

  Alex Danvers : Yes. But with all due respect, the system was outmoded. It used to take us 90 seconds to get out the door after first alert. And now by retasking two analysts...

  Colonel Lauren Haley : You cut out the middle man and reduced deployment time to 60 seconds, which could be the difference between life and death.

• Colonel Lauren Haley : Any sign of our traitor Agent Jensen?

  Alex Danvers : Not yet. But our facial recognition algorithm is scanning National City. So the moment Jensen shows his face, we'll get him.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Keep up the good work.

• Querl Dox : It's Jensen. He's been located at the National City Promenade.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : This is your collar, Danvers. Go get him.

  Alex Danvers : [into her comms as she turns to leave]  Supergirl, it's time to rumble.

• Colonel Lauren Haley : You neglected to inform me that Agent Jensen is not a human.

  Alex Danvers : He is. Well, he was. When Mercy and Otis broke into the DEO, they took with them a creature called Parasite. And once this parasite infects a host, which in this case was Jensen, the host has the ability to suck the life force out of whoever it touches.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Leaving that person dead.

  Alex Danvers : And if it's an alien, absorbing their powers.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : We're very lucky he didn't have more contact with Supergirl.

  Alex Danvers : And we're lucky the host doesn't have the ability to retain the powers it absorbs. So, we'll try to get Jensen when he's at his weakest.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : And how do we do that?

  Alex Danvers : The last time, we overloaded his system with nuclear energy. Plutonium.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : I'll contact the Pentagon about gathering nuclear material.

  Alex Danvers : And I'll speak with Supergirl. This is one monster she can't fight.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Very wise, Director Danvers.

• Colonel Lauren Haley : Plutonium is in short supply, but I found a store of uranium. It's en route. Uranium is less stable than plutonium. We run the risk of a bigger explosion. We need to get Jensen to an isolated area.

  Alex Danvers : Or we need to find a way to contain the explosion.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Tell me what you're thinking.

  Alex Danvers : Well... an electrical force field could stop the radiation from the blast.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Can you create one on the fly?

  Alex Danvers : An improvised ionic containment? That could work.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Spherical, to get the optimal distribution of electrons.

  Alex Danvers : Like a dome. Yes, it's elegant.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : You need something of your own. Some sort of weapon.

  Alex Danvers : A proton pack.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Perhaps as a blast gun.

  Alex Danvers : Agent Dox, is this something you can create?

  Querl Dox : Yes. Yes, I-I absolutely can. I-I can... I can use enforce field discs to link them together into a force field matrix. I can also outfit a gun to blast uranium...

  Colonel Lauren Haley : We get it. You're hired.

  [to Alex] 

  Colonel Lauren Haley : We make a good team.

  Querl Dox : It was exhilarating to watch.

• Colonel Lauren Haley : All right, team. I need your heads up and low profile. We don't want a riot. Now, if you see Jensen, skin-to-skin contact can be fatal, so do not engage. You leave that to Director Danvers.

  Alex Danvers : Ready, Colonel?

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Activate the dome.

  Querl Dox : Enter the matrix.

  Alex Danvers : All right, boys, let's find him.

• Querl Dox : Jensen has overloaded the dome. I'm re-configuring the power transits, but our matrix will collapse in two minutes, 47 seconds.

  J'onn J'onzz : I need to make sure Amadei is protected.

  Kara Danvers : Go.

  [J'onn leaves] 

  Kara Danvers : Alex. Alex, people are on the verge of stampeding.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Supergirl? Are you inside that dome?

  Kara Danvers : [covering]  I... was in the neighborhood.

• Alex Danvers : Brainy, I need you to open a gap in the dome away from Jensen. I gotta get these civilians evacuated.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Negative. Danvers, you need to focus on the target.

  Alex Danvers : I am. Supergirl will get 'em out.

  Kara Danvers : [getting into superhero mode]  On it.

• Jensen : I want to make this country safe.

  Alex Danvers : You're not making anything safer by doing this. I mean, look at everybody. Look how scared they are. And it's not just aliens, Raymond.

  Querl Dox : Thirty seconds.

  Alex Danvers : It's humans, too.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Danvers, terminate him.

  Alex Danvers : Look, I know when the president revealed herself as an alien, you got scared. A lot of people did. But don't let that fear define who you are.

  Querl Dox : Twenty seconds.

  Alex Danvers : I still see that agent that I wanted to mentor. I still see that agent that I was proud to call my colleague. I still see that good man. He's scared, but he's still in there.

  Querl Dox : Ten seconds.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Shoot him, Danvers. That is an order.

  Alex Danvers : Surrender now, and you will save everybody in here. Be the hero that I know you are.

  Jensen : Even if I give up, he's still out there.

  Alex Danvers : Who's "he"?

• Colonel Lauren Haley : You did good work today. But the next time I give you orders, I expect for you to follow them.

  Alex Danvers : Yes, ma'am.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Still, I have to say, it's much better to have you in charge than that imposter, J'onn J'onzz.

  Alex Danvers : Excuse me?

  Colonel Lauren Haley : When we at the White House learned about your former director's true identity, I recommended his removal. He was trying to erode the DEO's mission. Employing aliens instead of catching them, all the while pretending to be someone he's not. I am glad order's been restored, and we're heading towards more civil, honest times.

  Alex Danvers : J'onn J'onzz is the one who recruited me, promoted me, and taught me everything that I know. He's my family. And he is the best director this organization has ever seen.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : J'onzz set a bad precedent. But we will set things right. From now on, we are strictly by-the-book, which means we are going to act according to rank, and let's be clear about yours. Now, you might run this place, but I am your superior officer. You report to me. Understood?

  Alex Danvers : Understood.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : [Alex turns to leave]  Director Danvers, when you exit, you salute your ranking officer.

  Alex Danvers : [saluting]  Yes, ma'am.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : [returning the salute]  We'll work on that. I still believe there's hope for you yet.
