1. - Clark. Look, the other night—
- Lois. Hey, about
the other night—
Copy !req
2. Oh, you first.
Copy !req
3. Lois, I, uh...
Copy !req
4. Hey!
Shut up and follow me.
Copy !req
5. I have an assignment for you.
Copy !req
6. You two are going to cover
Copy !req
7. Metropolis' most eligible
bachelor and bachelorette contest.
Copy !req
8. No!
Copy !req
9. - What?
- What the...
Copy !req
10. Hey! Perry, that's my event!
Copy !req
11. Cat, they're the only reporters
Superman talks to.
Copy !req
12. What does Superman have to do
with some random contest?
Copy !req
13. Oh, it's not a random contest.
Copy !req
14. It's the contest.
Copy !req
15. Lights!
Copy !req
16. The most eligible bachelor
and bachelorette contest
Copy !req
17. is the highlight
of the
Metropolis social calendar.
Copy !req
18. - The contest—
- The contest puts together
Copy !req
19. a slate
of the most accomplished
single people in the city.
Copy !req
20. - Then—
- Then the winner is announced
on live TV, live.
Copy !req
21. But why would Superman
be there?
Copy !req
22. Because Superman
is one of the finalists
this year,
Copy !req
23. and the contest raises money
for the children's hospital.
Copy !req
24. - Oh, geez.
- Okay, so he'll
definitely be there.
Copy !req
25. Which is why I want
my number one
Superman reporters on the beat.
Copy !req
26. You two, bring me gossip
on Superman.
Copy !req
27. Lois, I'm... I'm worried
that you're not taking
this assignment seriously.
Copy !req
28. You know, I heard
that Superman likes
a certain stubborn reporter.
Copy !req
29. Oh, stubborn?
Copy !req
30. I think you mispronounced
brilliant, Smallville.
Copy !req
31. Mr. White's
texting us the info.
Copy !req
32. Okay, the press conference
starts in 20.
Copy !req
33. I'll go find Jimmy.
Copy !req
34. And then after, we'll talk.
Yeah?
Copy !req
35. Yeah.
Copy !req
36. See you soon.
Copy !req
37. Lane, I demand
you bring me along.
Copy !req
38. Oh, um...
Copy !req
39. Perry was very clear.
Copy !req
40. So, um, why would we
bring you with us?
Copy !req
41. Oh, darling.
You're going to bring me along.
Copy !req
42. Because you and I
both know Superman's secret,
don't we?
Copy !req
43. Wow.
Copy !req
44. "It's Jimmy.
The symposium sure went bad."
Copy !req
45. Huh? No.
Copy !req
46. Hey, Clark.
Copy !req
47. So, I turned
the Pentagon on you.
Copy !req
48. Sorry.
Copy !req
49. Earth is for earthlings.
Copy !req
50. Hey, Clark.
Copy !req
51. How am I supposed
to talk to you when
I don't know how to fix this?
Copy !req
52. Watch where you're going!
Copy !req
53. Are you... all right?
Copy !req
54. Sorry. I... I... I just...
Copy !req
55. You... You okay?
Copy !req
56. You were assisting me?
Copy !req
57. I'm fine.
Copy !req
58. But who are you?
Copy !req
59. The name's Jimmy Olsen,
a leader at the Planet
Copy !req
60. and head
of the Flamebird division.
Copy !req
61. You're the leader
of the planet?
Copy !req
62. Then you can assist me.
Copy !req
63. My name's Kara.
Copy !req
64. And I'm searching for someone.
Copy !req
65. Sure, I can help.
Copy !req
66. - Let's start over here.
- Oh!
Copy !req
67. Huh?
Copy !req
68. Jimmy?
Copy !req
69. And here we are!
Copy !req
70. The main event!
Copy !req
71. Uh... Wait. Where did Kent go?
Copy !req
72. Oh. He's, um...
Copy !req
73. He's feeding the meter.
Copy !req
74. Okay. I brought you.
Copy !req
75. Now, what do you mean
we know Superman's secret?
Copy !req
76. Darling, it's obvious,
Copy !req
77. because we both know
that Superman is...
Copy !req
78. not single!
Copy !req
79. And we both know
that Superman's
significant other
Copy !req
80. is in this very room.
Copy !req
81. Because Superman is dating...
Copy !req
82. one of the other finalists.
Copy !req
83. I mean, it just makes sense.
Copy !req
84. The contestants
aren't ordinary people
like you and me.
Copy !req
85. Well, I mean,
being one of The Planet's
youngest reporters
Copy !req
86. is pretty impressive.
Copy !req
87. So, naturally,
Superman is dating one of them.
Copy !req
88. We just have to figure out who
Copy !req
89. because then
we can figure out
his secret identity.
Copy !req
90. What secret identity?
Copy !req
91. I mean,
maybe he's always Superman.
Copy !req
92. Please.
Copy !req
93. You ever see Superman
at the store?
Copy !req
94. No. He's hiding among us.
Disguised in plain sight.
Copy !req
95. This is the story
of the century.
Copy !req
96. We are going
to uncover Superman.
Copy !req
97. Great. I'll just tell Clark.
Copy !req
98. Jimmy's not coming.
Copy !req
99. We've got bigger problems.
Copy !req
100. Cat is trying to figure out
who Superman is dating.
Copy !req
101. If she realizes
that we're together...
Copy !req
102. She'll figure out who I am.
Copy !req
103. So, when you show up
as Superman,
Copy !req
104. you have to act super single.
Copy !req
105. You can't let anyone know
we're together.
Copy !req
106. So, no telling people
about the brilliant reporter
I'm in love with?
Copy !req
107. No, don't do that.
Copy !req
108. Of course, Lois.
I won't ruin this.
Copy !req
109. I promise.
Copy !req
110. Okay. No Clark.
We're in the clear.
Copy !req
111. I mean, I'm not hiding.
Copy !req
112. No one is hiding.
Copy !req
113. This...
Copy !req
114. What is this?
Copy !req
115. Ice cream?
Copy !req
116. You've never had ice cream?
Copy !req
117. Strict no-sugar parents
growing up, huh?
Copy !req
118. I do have a strict father, yes.
Copy !req
119. But it's unimportant.
Copy !req
120. Uh-huh?
Copy !req
121. Well, you just say that
because you never had it.
Copy !req
122. Is that a challenge?
Copy !req
123. Mmm.
Copy !req
124. What is this?
Copy !req
125. Mint chocolate chip.
Copy !req
126. It's delicious.
Copy !req
127. Oh... Hold still,
you've got a...
Copy !req
128. So, uh... Who are you, uh...
Who are you looking for?
Copy !req
129. I'm looking for a man,
a warrior.
Copy !req
130. And the only person
in the universe
who will understand me.
Copy !req
131. Oh, a guy.
Copy !req
132. - My cousin.
- Oh! Cousin.
Copy !req
133. Great. I have cousins.
Copy !req
134. Cousins? Am I right?
Copy !req
135. We've never met.
But I know he's in this city.
Copy !req
136. - I just... I thought
it would be easier to find him.
- Let me help.
Copy !req
137. And maybe we can get
more ice cream and a hot dog
on the way. What do you say?
Copy !req
138. I say,
what is a hot dog?
Copy !req
139. Members of the press.
Copy !req
140. I'm pleased to introduce
the finalists
Copy !req
141. for Metropolis' most eligible contest.
Copy !req
142. Fighter pilot
and S.T.A.R. Labs astronaut,
Hank Henshaw!
Copy !req
143. Archer and
three-time world champion,
Chandi Gupta.
Copy !req
144. They climbed Mount Everest
seven times.
Copy !req
145. They're Dr. Bryna Brilyant.
Copy !req
146. Influencer, philanthropist
and fashion icon,
Copy !req
147. Silver St. Cloud.
Copy !req
148. And... Superman!
Copy !req
149. Who we don't know
how to get ahold of
Copy !req
150. but are hoping
he'll just show up.
Copy !req
151. Shoot. I... I gotta go
because I...
Copy !req
152. The meter ran out.
Copy !req
153. - Right. The meter.
- Ugh! Again.
Copy !req
154. So, let's open the floor to—
Copy !req
155. Sorry I'm late.
Copy !req
156. Hello, everyone.
Copy !req
157. Okay. So, let's go
to the questions.
Copy !req
158. Who has one
for our human finalists?
Copy !req
159. And who has one
for Superman?
Copy !req
160. George Taylor, Metropolis Star.
Copy !req
161. What does the Man of Steel
look for in a partner?
Copy !req
162. Well, I think
kindness is important,
Copy !req
163. wanting to help others
and a passion for what they do.
Copy !req
164. A bit stubborn sometimes,
but she follows the stories
that matter...
Copy !req
165. on TV, which she watches
when she's not being a surgeon
and tall.
Copy !req
166. She would be a tall surgeon. Next.
Copy !req
167. Hi, Cat Grant.
The Daily Planet.
Copy !req
168. Any interest
in your fellow finalists?
Copy !req
169. I know there's someone
I'm interested in.
Copy !req
170. Oh, that's a good one.
Copy !req
171. Kidding aside, I'd love it
if I could get you interested
Copy !req
172. in helping
the Combined Charities
of Metropolis Foundation.
Copy !req
173. - I run it.
- You do?
Copy !req
174. The foundation
does incredible work.
I'd be honored.
Copy !req
175. Oh. That's wonderful.
Copy !req
176. It'll mean so much
to the foundation staff.
Copy !req
177. Well, I'd, uh,
hate to disappoint.
Copy !req
178. I can't imagine the Superman
disappointing anyone.
Copy !req
179. Ms. St. Cloud...
- Oh, Silver, please.
Copy !req
180. Um, Silver.
Truthfully, I don't
think of myself as Superman.
Copy !req
181. I consider myself a normal man.
Copy !req
182. Pfft. Normal?
Copy !req
183. I have a question for you, Superman.
Copy !req
184. At what point will you stop
endangering our city?
Copy !req
185. This isn't a man.
Copy !req
186. This is an alien weapon
waiting to go off.
Copy !req
187. Just look at what happened
to S.T.A.R. Labs.
Copy !req
188. Uh... Did you forget
the 30-foot tall monster
who tried to destroy our city?
Copy !req
189. Superman saved us.
Copy !req
190. You may have the masses fooled,
but those who matter
are keeping their eye on you.
Copy !req
191. Earth is for earthlings, Superman.
Copy !req
192. Come on.
We got what we came for.
Copy !req
193. I know who Superman is dating.
Copy !req
194. And you do too.
Right, Lois?
Copy !req
195. Welcome to Metropolis.
Copy !req
196. - What do you want
to see first?
- Everything.
Copy !req
197. Ah!
Copy !req
198. Come on.
There's one last thing
you have to see.
Copy !req
199. Huh. It all makes sense now.
Copy !req
200. The signs were there
staring me in the face.
Copy !req
201. The only person
who could possibly
be dating Superman is...
Copy !req
202. Look, Cat, I—
Copy !req
203. - ... Silver St. Cloud!
- What?
Copy !req
204. It can't be Hank
because Hank
seems to hate Superman.
Copy !req
205. It can't be Bryna or Chandi
because they clearly
have never met him before.
Copy !req
206. But Silver defended Superman.
Copy !req
207. She's the only one
he talked to,
Copy !req
208. and there's a vibe
between them.
Copy !req
209. I don't think they have a vibe.
Copy !req
210. There's such a vibe!
Copy !req
211. She's a genius
who made her fortune at 13.
Copy !req
212. She's smart, talented
and raises millions
for charity every year.
Copy !req
213. I mean, who else
should Superman be with?
Copy !req
214. Well, what about me!
Copy !req
215. I'm the one who broke
the Superman story.
Copy !req
216. I'm the one who got
the interview with him.
Copy !req
217. Logically, it makes sense
for it to be me.
Copy !req
218. Why is that so funny?
Copy !req
219. Oh! You're serious.
Copy !req
220. Lane...
Copy !req
221. Lois, he's Superman.
And these people
are superhuman.
Copy !req
222. The least impressive one
climbed Mount Everest
seven times.
Copy !req
223. - Yeah, but—
- Listen, we're reporters,
Copy !req
224. outside observers
looking in on worlds
that we aren't a part of.
Copy !req
225. We write the story.
We don't become the story.
Copy !req
226. And what you and Kent have
is cute.
Copy !req
227. Focus on that.
Copy !req
228. It's my favorite view
of the whole city.
Copy !req
229. I come up here all the time
with Lois and...
Copy !req
230. And with my best friend.
Copy !req
231. Why did you say it that way?
Copy !req
232. Is this best friend
your enemy now?
Copy !req
233. Jimmy Flamebird,
I will make your enemies mine.
Copy !req
234. No, it's just...
Copy !req
235. Have you ever messed up
on such a grand scale
it hurts someone else?
Copy !req
236. And then you avoided them
because you didn't know
how to make it right.
Copy !req
237. Avoiding? Yes.
Copy !req
238. I came here
against my father's wishes.
Copy !req
239. He wanted to come with me,
but I wanted to do this
on my own.
Copy !req
240. See a world without limits,
Copy !req
241. without rules or parameters
to go to new places.
Copy !req
242. - Discover new things.
- And step into...
Copy !req
243. - the unknown.
- The unknown.
Copy !req
244. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
245. For assisting me?
Copy !req
246. For using you
to avoid my best friend.
Copy !req
247. But nothing's solved
by silence.
Copy !req
248. I have to talk to Clark.
Copy !req
249. What do you say?
Copy !req
250. One last stop
on the Metropolis tour?
Copy !req
251. Ah! The big event.
Copy !req
252. You excited, Lane?
Copy !req
253. Yep. Can't wait.
Copy !req
254. They're the best of the best.
Copy !req
255. Ugh!
Copy !req
256. I can't get a signal.
Copy !req
257. They must be here somewhere.
Copy !req
258. Ugh!
Copy !req
259. There he is.
You found him.
Copy !req
260. Wait, your cousin is...
Copy !req
261. Oh.
Copy !req
262. This is the moment
you've all been waiting for.
Copy !req
263. Out of these luminaries,
only one has captured
the city's heart.
Copy !req
264. And the people's choice
for most eligible is...
Copy !req
265. Superman!
Copy !req
266. Ugh!
Copy !req
267. Lois.
Copy !req
268. Finally. I have been
looking for you for so long,
Copy !req
269. - hoping to meet you—
- Sorry, but there's something
important I need to do.
Copy !req
270. Lois, are you hurt?
What's wrong?
Copy !req
271. Everything.
Everything is wrong.
Copy !req
272. The contest,
my dad running off,
the job offer.
Copy !req
273. It's all too much.
Copy !req
274. Job offer? What job offer?
Copy !req
275. Vicki asked me
to move to Gotham
and become her number two.
Copy !req
276. What? Wha...
Why didn't you tell me?
Copy !req
277. Because we never talk anymore.
Copy !req
278. I've been trying.
I... I wanted you to be there
when I set off the beacon.
Copy !req
279. You what?
Copy !req
280. This isn't coming out right.
Copy !req
281. Because this isn't working.
Copy !req
282. We don't make sense, Clark.
Copy !req
283. There's a whole room of people
way better for you
than I could ever be.
Copy !req
284. I mean, I'm not a genius,
or billionaire,
or a super-person.
Copy !req
285. I'm just me.
Copy !req
286. And it's not enough.
Copy !req
287. Everyone always leaves me
in the end.
Copy !req
288. So, why are we even doing this?
Copy !req
289. Lois, are... are you
breaking up with me?
Copy !req
290. Kal-El from Krypton.
Copy !req
291. I answered your call.
Copy !req
292. The beacon reached me
across your galaxy,
Copy !req
293. the only other Kryptonian
in existence,
Copy !req
294. and I arrive
only to see you
brought me to this...
Copy !req
295. sickening display.
Copy !req
296. You're Kara?
You're my cousin?
Copy !req
297. And you're a disappointment.
Copy !req
298. I thought I would find
a warrior.
Copy !req
299. Instead, I find a joke.
Copy !req
300. A lap dog
serving as entertainment
to a weak and dissolute world.
Copy !req
301. I'm not saying there
aren't temptations here,
Copy !req
302. but a true Kryptonian
pushes through.
Copy !req
303. This planet
has made you soft.
Copy !req
304. What are you saying?
Copy !req
305. You have two choices.
Copy !req
306. Join me in conquering
this planet
Copy !req
307. or kneel before
the new Kryptonian empire.
Copy !req
308. No, no, no, no.
That's not...
Copy !req
309. Kara, the empire is gone.
Copy !req
310. The empire is eternal.
Copy !req
311. - Primus, orders?
- We have no need
of weaklings.
Copy !req
312. Take him down.
Copy !req
313. Lois?
Copy !req
314. I don't want to fight you,
but I won't let you hurt
anyone else.
Copy !req
315. Kara, you don't
have to do this.
Copy !req
316. You don't understand.
We're Kryptonians.
Copy !req
317. Go. Run! Now!
Copy !req
318. You're hesitating.
Copy !req
319. Is there a problem, scion?
Copy !req
320. Or will you comply?
Copy !req
321. No, Primus. I will comply.
Copy !req
322. No!
Copy !req
323. Oh. Oh.
Copy !req
324. What is this?
Copy !req
325. Scion...
Copy !req
326. Kara, new parameters.
Copy !req
327. Bring Kal-El to me.
Copy !req
328. - Jimmy?
- We have to catch them.
Copy !req
329. Come on.
Copy !req
330. Kara... Kara, you don't have
to do this.
Copy !req
331. For the empire...
Copy !req
332. I'd do anything.
Copy !req
333. Status, scion.
Copy !req
334. Scion?
Copy !req
335. My daughter?
Copy !req
336. En route, Father.
Copy !req
