## Transcript

[ MUSIC ] My name is Kara Zor- El. 24 years ago my planet was in peril. My cousin, Kal- El, was sent to a planet called Earth. You may know his story, but you don't know mine. On Earth you will do Extraordinary things. Until now. You must go. [ NOISE ] I love you Cara. [ MUSIC ] [ NOISE ] Sorry, sorry. I'm calling about the correspondence dinner. I need to make sure Miss Grant doesn't end up next to Bill O'Reilly again. Hey I was wondering if maybe you wanna I don't know go see a movie at night. I can't, I'm sorry I have a date. Date? Fun, dating's fun. She's here. How do you do that? The only reason I bought this building was because it had a private elevator.

That way I don't have to get soaked in cheap cologne every morning getting to my office, find out who used it, have them reprimanded or bathed. I don't care which. Here's your latte hot. Oh, that'll be new and different. Hello? I've seen this picture it won a Pulitzer. Yea only because it was the first real shot of them. Little secret they actually posed for that guess who likes me. Oh my god you're Jimmy Olsen the photographer from the daily planet. James Olsen. I never got your name. Gosh yeah Cara. Wow. I have a conference in Geneva and I need to be on a plane in two hours. I have a blind date in a half an hour and I need you to help me pick out what to wear.

Why do you do this to me? Cuz I'm your sister and you love me. I feel like I'm not living up to my potential. I just fetched [ UNKNOWN ] some coffee. You always wanted to be normal. This is what normal looks like. I'm not normal. I can lift a bus, stop a bullet Alex. I can fly. Least I think I can. Flight 237 bound for Geneva is Circling the city after an engine failure. Did he say Geneva? Alex! [ MUSIC ]! [ MUSIC ]! We just lost another engine. We are going Going down. Brace for impact. [ MUSIC ] Oh, come on. [ MUSIC ] [ APPLAUSE ] Who is the mystery flying woman who saved the plane? You exposed yourself.

You are out there now, Cara. Everyone will know about you and you can't take that back. I don't want to. Media magnet, Cat Grant of National City's new hero, Super Girl. We can't name her that. We didn't. Shouldn't she be called Super Woman. What do you think is so bad about girl? I'm a girl and your boss and powerful and Rich and hot and smart. So if you perceive Supergirl as anything less than excellent isn't the real problem you? [ MUSIC ] Kara? I'm going to tell you something about me that for most of my life I've run from it. But last night I embraced who I am and I don't want to stop. Oh my god, you're a ****.

I Cara, that's why you're not into me. This is great news. I'm not gay, I'm her. The woman who saved the plane. Ok, right. Cara what are you doing? Hey Cara [ NOISE ] You're her. Yeah. [ MUSIC ] I'm not flying around saving people in this thing. And where's my cape? Get your lane. Tell your cousin I said so. Actually, never, never do that. [ LAUGH ] So to be a superhero you need a crime. There's a car chase on the 112 Freeway. I can do a car chase. [ MUSIC ] A cape aids with aerodynamics, I should have thought of that. West National City Bank, suspects are armed and dangerous. You you're sure you're bullet proof?

Hope so. All right, the new cape is made from structural polymer composite. It's much sturdier. And This one has the S for super, just like your cousin. It's not an S. It's my family's coat of arms, the House of El. Welcome to the Department of Extranormal Operations. The DEO monitors and protects Earth from extraterrestrial presence. These beings, some of them are Powers from your darkest nightmares. I can help you stop them. I don't trust aliens. You want to help? Go back to getting someones coffee. [ MUSIC ] Kara, it's me. I know what you're thinking. The world needs you to fly, and so do I.

So what do we do now? First things first. You need to change. I didn't travel 2000 light years just to be an assistant. People of this city will die. You have to let me stop it. Make sure you win. [ MUSIC ] My cousin wanted me to do this? Why didn't he just tell me? Because he wanted you to choose it for yourself. [ MUSIC ] Same way he did. Here, from him. It's the blanket he was wrapped in when he was a baby. Apparently this cape on tread. Thank you. Now don't you have a city to protect? Yeah. Up, up and away. [ LAUGH ] [ NOISE ]
