Quotes 

• Silas : [an attempt to get the portal working fails]  You know this isn't easy for me.

  J'onn J'onnz : Silas, I do not have time. Fix it. Fix it right now.

  M'gann M'orzz : J'onn, can I talk to you outside?

  J'onn J'onnz : [to Silas]  Get it done, and don't immolate anyone.

• Silas : I wasn't going to hurt anyone. I'm not really a vampire.

  M'gann M'orzz : We know. Your name is Silas.

  J'onn J'onnz : You're an alien.

  Brainiac-5 : From Transilvane, to be exact.

  Dreamer : Which is apparently a real planet.

  Alex Danvers : You're where vampire stories come from.

  Silas : Great. Glad to see you've done your research. But you're under-emphasizing one tiny, important detail. They're just stories. I rob blood banks so I don't have to hurt people.

  J'onn J'onnz : We're not interested in the robbery. We'll let you go... if you help us.

  Silas : Help you with what?

  Alex Danvers : We want you to help us break into the Phantom Zone.

  Silas : Why in the hell would you wanna do that?

• Kelly Olsen : I know what it's like to lose someone. Someone you love more than anything in the world. But Owen being in the Phantom Zone is not your fault. You need to forgive yourself for what happened to him.

  Silas : I can't. The guilt is overwhelming.

  Kelly Olsen : Of course you feel guilt. Of course you feel shame. But those feelings are there to remind you that your love was real. And that is something that no Phantom can take from you. Look, I know you're scared, but you can do this. You can build that portal. You can make it work. And when you do, we will save Supergirl. And every life she saves from then on will be thanks to you. And thanks to Owen.

• Silas : My husband was falsely accused of theft, and sentenced to six months in the Phantom Zone. They took Owen from me. It was so unfair. I had to get him back.

  M'gann M'orzz : But they caught you attempting to break him out.

  Silas : How do you guys know all this?

  J'onn J'onnz : My brother was in the Phantom Zone. He'd heard about you. We cross-referenced what he told us with your Fort Rozz file.

  Dreamer : You're the only person to ever break into the Phantom Zone. We need you to teach us how.

  Silas : You must understand, I failed. And you will fail, too.

  Brainiac-5 : I'm certain I can replicate your technology.

  Silas : The tech is the easy part. It's the Phantoms you have to face. People talk about the Zone as a place where time does not pass, but that isn't what makes it terrible. It's the creatures that give it its name. They feed on your fear by making you live it. They're like shadow spores that creep inside you and infect everything good and right and then turn it against the host. Eventually, you forget that the Phantoms are doing it to you at all. Your nightmare becomes your reality. That's when you go insane. Just like my husband did.

  Dreamer : I'm sorry that happened to you. But right now, you have the chance to help us save someone that we love.

  J'onn J'onnz : Supergirl is there. We're trusting you with this information because you're the only one who can help. And we think you're the kind of guy who would. Prove us right. Help us.

  Silas : [after a moment of indecision]  Okay, I need a pen.

  J'onn J'onnz : Good man.

• Brainiac-5 : The Phantoms disrupted the portal. We need to get it back online.

  Alex Danvers : On it.

  Silas : [taking cover]  Not again.

  Alex Danvers : Silas, we have to send the Phantoms back. I need you to help me.

  Silas : Please don't let them take me.

  Alex Danvers : These creepy bastards aren't gonna take any more of us. Okay? Do it for Owen.

• J'onn J'onnz : You sure this thing won't blow up?

  Silas : It won't blow up, but I can't guarantee it won't implode.

  Alex Danvers : Let's bring Supergirl home.

  Dreamer : [the portal opens]  It doesn't look like the simulations, Brainy.

  Brainiac-5 : [with a handheld scanner]  No. No, this isn't right. The Phantom Zone has been fractured somehow.

  [realizing] 

  Brainiac-5 : Of course. Crisis. When all the timelines converged into one, the opposite must have happened here. It's no longer one pocket dimension, but many. An interdimensional archipelago.

  Alex Danvers : Well, Dreamer should still be able to find her in there.

  Brainiac-5 : Every dimension has its own vibrational frequency. We would have to go to each one before Dreamer could even try. And it's moving in a randomized pattern. It would take years for us to make it to each of them.

  Alex Danvers : Supergirl is in there, okay? We are not not gonna go get her.

  J'onn J'onnz : Alex, wait.

  Alex Danvers : I won't give up on Kara.

  J'onn J'onnz : I'm not gonna lose you, too.

• Silas : I'm sorry things were different than you expected and you couldn't save your friend. But just because you couldn't save her this time doesn't mean you won't.

  M'gann M'orzz : I think we all need to at least take a beat. It's been a rough day, but we will figure this out.

  Dreamer : [seeing a news report about Lex's acquittal]  Guys, it's about to get a lot worse.

• Kelly Olsen : Figured you guys could use some lunch. So, how are things going here?

  Alex Danvers : I mean, with Silas' help and the nanobots to rebuild it, he can have Supergirl back by sundown.

  Silas : Whoa. By sundown?

  Alex Danvers : We should order in Dim Sum Delite's entire stock of potstickers because she's gonna be starving when she gets back.

  Silas : You're not listening to me. Sundown isn't possible. Next week might not be possible. The last time I built this portal, it took six months of testing to make sure I didn't burn to death when I stepped through it. It's just wonderful that you are all big, powerful superheroes, but I can't guarantee you won't burn to death, either. I already have not saving my husband on my conscience. I don't need your deaths, too.
