Samantha Arias : Some things have been happening.
Patricia Arias : What things?
Samantha Arias : I guess I was just wondering if, growing up, if I ever did anything strange.
Patricia Arias : Well, what do you mean by "strange"?
Samantha Arias : I don't know, did I fall - like, *fall* - and not get hurt? Did I ever lift anything really heavy?
Patricia Arias : No. No, nothing like that.
Samantha Arias : Nothing?
Patricia Arias : No.
Samantha Arias : Okay. Uh... well, maybe you could help me find something out about my birth mother.
Patricia Arias : Well, why do you want to know about her?
Samantha Arias : You know what? Just forget it.
[turning to leave]
Samantha Arias : Sorry I bothered you.
[she stops]
Samantha Arias : I was at a press event. Someone had a gun; they fired it into the crowd. A lot of people got hurt. I got home, and I found a hole in my coat. Found a little piece of metal. A bullet. It was completely flattened. I got shot, and it didn't puncture my skin. I got shot, and I didn't feel it. How could I not feel it? Patricia, what is happening?
Patricia Arias : Follow me.

Patricia Arias : [showing Sam the pod in which she arrived] You asked about your birth mom. I lied. I didn't adopt you. I found you, in this.
Samantha Arias : I... I... I just... I-I don't understand.
Patricia Arias : I didn't, either. I didn't know where you were from or who left you in this thing, or why. And you just... you looked so damn helpless that I took you home.
Samantha Arias : Were you ever gonna tell me?
Patricia Arias : I swore that I would tell you when you turned eighteen. But you were gone by then, and I thought "Well, maybe... maybe that's better." That you would be better off out there on your own without knowing.
Samantha Arias : That I'm an alien?
Patricia Arias : Sam, I just wanted you to have a normal life.

Samantha Arias : What am I?
Dark Kryptonian Woman : You are a culmination of centuries of work, a being designed for one purpose: to execute justice.
Samantha Arias : I'm a hero?
Dark Kryptonian Woman : They will not call you a hero. They will call you Worldkiller. They will try to contain your power, but they will fail. You will show no mercy to those who oppose you. Your justice will burn the world of man.
Samantha Arias : No. I'm not a Worldkiller. I'm not a Worldkiller. I have a life. I'm... I'm a good person. I have a daughter.
Dark Kryptonian Woman : Your offspring was an unfortunate error. Your powers were supposed to manifest when you came of age. She delayed the realization of your destiny.
Samantha Arias : She is not an error!
Dark Kryptonian Woman : You will soon forget her. You will soon forget all mortal trappings.
Samantha Arias : No. This can't be right.
Dark Kryptonian Woman : It is time for you to emerge. It is time for you to become Reign.

Patricia Arias : So it's just you? You didn't bring, um...
Samantha Arias : Ruby?
Patricia Arias : I've never met the girl, so I don't think you should expect me to keep her name straight.
Samantha Arias : Well, you kicked me out for having her. I didn't think you'd want to meet her.
Patricia Arias : No, you... you made your choice. You had to know that there would be consequences.
Samantha Arias : I was a kid.
Patricia Arias : You know as well as anyone that the moment you become pregnant, you're not a kid anymore.
Samantha Arias : So I didn't deserve a support system? Married adults have children all the time. They need their parents.
Patricia Arias : I would have just been a crutch for you.
Samantha Arias : You were my mother.
Patricia Arias : And I always wanted what was best for you.
Samantha Arias : So you just let me leave?
Patricia Arias : That's not what I wanted to have happen at all.
Samantha Arias : Do you know how hard it was for me to come here?
Patricia Arias : Well, then why did you?

Dark Kryptonian Woman : You've come. I imagine you have questions. I have answers.
Samantha Arias : I've seen you. In my dreams. What are you?
Dark Kryptonian Woman : Science. Magic. Information. Your friend.
Samantha Arias : What is this place?
Dark Kryptonian Woman : This is your Fortress of Sanctuary. A piece of your world, the dead planet Krypton.
Samantha Arias : Oh, my god. Ruby was right. She thought I had powers, and I do. I always knew I was different, but I always thought it was because I was adopted, but... it wasn't. I'm like Supergirl.
Dark Kryptonian Woman : You are so much more than that.

Samantha Arias : [in Kryptonian after her transformation] I have awoken.

Ruby Arias : But where are you going?
Samantha Arias : I'm not exactly sure yet. Hey. You don't have to worry. Okay? Nothing is wrong.
[they sit down on couch]
Samantha Arias : I'm sorry I yelled at you earlier. I found something out. About myself. And it's a really good thing.
[smiles]
Samantha Arias : It's gonna answer a lot of questions. But I gotta take this trip to get those questions answered.
Ruby Arias : Can't I come with you? I can come with you!
Samantha Arias : I know that you want to. And I wish that you could. But I gotta do this on my own, okay? Hold my hand.
[Ruby does]
Samantha Arias : You feel that?
Ruby Arias : Your pulse?
Samantha Arias : That's you. You are my heart. Are you gonna trust me?
[Ruby nods]
Samantha Arias : Something wonderful is happening.
Ruby Arias : Just promise to tell me about it when you come back.
Samantha Arias : I promise.
[hugs her]
Samantha Arias : I love you so much.
[kisses her]
Ruby Arias : I love you too.
