1. Tess.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
2. You've been taking spin classes,
and not in the gym.
Copy !req
3. - What are you talking about, Lois?
- Censorship.
Copy !req
4. I write an article against the VRA and
you turn it into venom for vigilantes.
Copy !req
5. I didn't approve this article.
Copy !req
6. I didn't approve any of these articles.
Copy !req
7. Well, if you didn't
green-light this garbage, who did?
Copy !req
8. You know, I have better things to do
than deal with your mess.
Copy !req
9. Excuse me.
Copy !req
10. Tess.
Copy !req
11. Lionel Luthor.
Copy !req
12. - I thought—
- Yes, well, rumors of my death...
Copy !req
13. have been greatly exaggerated.
Copy !req
14. What?
Copy !req
15. You got a hug
for your long-lost daddy?
Copy !req
16. No?
Copy !req
17. Clark told me about this other Earth.
You're from there, aren't you?
Copy !req
18. It doesn't matter where I'm from,
Lutessa. I am still your father.
Copy !req
19. And as far as
this trusting world believes...
Copy !req
20. the same man
who successfully faked his own death.
Copy !req
21. Which also makes you
the same man who abandoned me.
Copy !req
22. Interesting, because in my world...
Copy !req
23. you're the one
who turned your back on me.
Copy !req
24. - I'm sure I had my reasons.
- Oh, you did.
Copy !req
25. I neglected you, Lutessa.
Copy !req
26. But I won't make that mistake again.
Copy !req
27. Clark opened the door
between worlds...
Copy !req
28. and that's given me a second chance
to put things right between us...
Copy !req
29. to be the father you always wanted.
Copy !req
30. What exactly do you want, Lionel?
Copy !req
31. To provide for my family.
Copy !req
32. For you and for your brother.
Copy !req
33. I was a fool. I turned my back on you
for someone who betrayed me.
Copy !req
34. Well, Clark was never yours
in this world.
Copy !req
35. And Lex is dead.
Copy !req
36. That is a lie, Tess.
Copy !req
37. You saved Lex.
Copy !req
38. And now he's out there
alone somewhere...
Copy !req
39. because you discarded him.
Copy !req
40. And you know the crippling scars that
that can leave on a child, Lutessa.
Copy !req
41. Where is he?
Copy !req
42. Tell me now.
Copy !req
43. I don't know,
but I'm gonna find him before you do.
Copy !req
44. The boy doesn't need you.
Copy !req
45. He needs his father.
Copy !req
46. And they say being a wanted man's
supposed to be a bad thing.
Copy !req
47. - Were you peeking at your...?
- l...
Copy !req
48. - Okay.
- Uh, just a peek, just a really quick peek.
Copy !req
49. The government may have framed me,
but it'd truly be criminal...
Copy !req
50. to keep you from checking up
on the world, wouldn't it?
Copy !req
51. And while you do that,
I'm going to, uh, take a walk.
Copy !req
52. I'm gonna stretch my legs out.
Copy !req
53. Oliver? Your stretching yesterday
led to you stopping two muggings...
Copy !req
54. - ... and a very public bank robbery.
- That's right.
Copy !req
55. I wore the hoodie.
Copy !req
56. And if you get caught, you're gonna
be wearing prison orange...
Copy !req
57. which is not the best color on you.
Copy !req
58. Hey, I just got you back.
I don't wanna lose you again.
Copy !req
59. We take you there now, live.
Copy !req
60. Vote down the VRA! Vote down the VRA!
Copy !req
61. What is going on?
Copy !req
62. America votes on whether or not
to overturn the VRA!
Copy !req
63. Our heroes need our help now
more than ever.
Copy !req
64. - Pro-hero rally? Okay.
Vote down the VRA!
Copy !req
65. Lois?
Copy !req
66. Lois, I'm home.
Copy !req
67. Hi, Clark.
Copy !req
68. Newspaper is the way to spread the
word, but you can't beat door to door...
Copy !req
69. for the personal touch.
Copy !req
70. I just single-handedly swayed
30 more votes in our favor.
Copy !req
71. I love your enthusiasm, but I don't have
much time for politics.
Copy !req
72. Do you have time for your mom?
Copy !req
73. Because a certain senator has been
working overtime to overturn the VRA.
Copy !req
74. Her campaigning has raised
enough hero support...
Copy !req
75. to force a national vote.
Copy !req
76. And I appreciate
everything that she's done...
Copy !req
77. but, Lois, the vote's tomorrow.
Copy !req
78. Don't give up on the game when
there are seconds left on the clock.
Copy !req
79. I'm still out there saving people
whether they want me around or not.
Copy !req
80. You need to see something.
Copy !req
81. A motorcade
has pulled up behind the podium.
Copy !req
82. It looks like the keynote speaker
has arrived.
Copy !req
83. A major opponent of the VRA...
Copy !req
84. You were so focused
on flying under the radar...
Copy !req
85. that you lost sight of the skyline.
Copy !req
86. People believe in heroes.
Copy !req
87. They just need something to give them
the courage to come out and fight.
Copy !req
88. And now it is my
great honor to introduce to you—
Copy !req
89. - She's your hero and mine.
- Or someone.
Copy !req
90. Please welcome Senator Martha Kent!
Copy !req
91. These are difficult times.
Copy !req
92. With heroes being painted as criminals,
it's easy to lose hope.
Copy !req
93. But if we don't speak up now,
then when?
Copy !req
94. My father always said, "Life only asks
of you what you can handle."
Copy !req
95. Sometimes we can't do it on our own.
Copy !req
96. That's why we need to join together
in this crusade like a family...
Copy !req
97. so that our united strength shines
through the darkness like a beacon...
Copy !req
98. - ... inspiring others to find their voices.
Yeah!
Copy !req
99. None of us is born to hate.
Copy !req
100. We're taught to.
Copy !req
101. That's why we need heroes
to remind us that we are all meant...
Copy !req
102. - ... to fight for truth and justice.
Yeah!
Copy !req
103. - To take a stand against fear and hate.
Yeah!
Copy !req
104. To go to the polls tomorrow
and vote down the VRA!
Copy !req
105. Vote down the VRA!
Vote down the VRA! Vote down the VRA!
Copy !req
106. - See? There's still hope.
- Vote down the VRA!
Copy !req
107. Vote down the VRA!
Copy !req
108. Wejust heard
what sounded like gunshots.
Copy !req
109. Federal agents are now...
Copy !req
110. I'm her son.
- Yes, Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
111. Thank you for your concern, Lois.
Copy !req
112. Oh, hold on a second. Hi, sweetheart.
Copy !req
113. - Mo—
- Hi.
Copy !req
114. I know. Clark does have a way
of leaving abruptly.
Copy !req
115. Um, I'm gonna stop by the farm later.
Bye-bye.
Copy !req
116. - You okay?
- I'm fine.
Copy !req
117. They convinced me
to wear a bulletproof vest.
Copy !req
118. - The other bullet grazed my shoulder.
- You didn't tell me you were in town.
Copy !req
119. - I could've protected you.
- I had to protect you, Clark.
Copy !req
120. The whole state is watching.
It's not safe for you or your friends...
Copy !req
121. to be caught in the spotlight.
Copy !req
122. So you step in, and look what happens,
somebody shot you.
Copy !req
123. They shot a senator to frighten people
from going to the polls.
Copy !req
124. I have to get back out
and encourage people...
Copy !req
125. to stand up for what they believe in.
Copy !req
126. So more of them can get hurt?
Copy !req
127. People are upset.
They're getting violent.
Copy !req
128. If you don't let me do this...
Copy !req
129. there will never be a day
when you can come out of hiding.
Copy !req
130. - People need someone to believe in.
- I'm not gonna let you sacrifice yourself.
Copy !req
131. Your father and I made a pact
many years ago.
Copy !req
132. We knew protecting you
would be dangerous...
Copy !req
133. but we vowed to do it,
even if it cost us our lives.
Copy !req
134. I'm willing to sacrifice
the same thing your father did.
Copy !req
135. But I'm not gonna let you go
on a suicide mission for me.
Copy !req
136. The person who did this to you
is out there. I'm gonna find them.
Copy !req
137. I'm not ready
to say goodbye to you too.
Copy !req
138. He's just worried about you,
Mrs. Kent.
Copy !req
139. We all are.
Copy !req
140. Oliver really wanted to come too,
but I was afraid he'd get recognized.
Copy !req
141. - Oh!
- Sorry.
Copy !req
142. Who would've thought there'd be a day
when heroes need this much protection?
Copy !req
143. It's nothing new.
Copy !req
144. A long time ago,
Jonathan and I realized...
Copy !req
145. Clark wasn't just our blessing...
Copy !req
146. someday we'd have to share him
with the world.
Copy !req
147. Protecting him suddenly became
a much bigger responsibility.
Copy !req
148. That explains why the Red Queen
eventually entered the game.
Copy !req
149. I've been watching you too.
Copy !req
150. I know you took over
where Waller left off...
Copy !req
151. but why did you leave Clark's side
in the first place?
Copy !req
152. Same reason you did.
Copy !req
153. There's a very fine line between being
protective and being overprotective.
Copy !req
154. We both needed to leave
for Clark to stand up on his own.
Copy !req
155. But maybe we stepped away too far.
Copy !req
156. Mrs. Kent, I never stopped
watching his back.
Copy !req
157. Clark needs you
as much as the world needs him.
Copy !req
158. You're part of this family, Chloe.
Copy !req
159. You know, growing up, I never really had
much of a mother figure to look up to...
Copy !req
160. until I met you.
Copy !req
161. You really taught me what it meant
to take care of the people that I love.
Copy !req
162. And as Clark's oldest friend...
Copy !req
163. I can't think of anyone better
to watch over him.
Copy !req
164. Stand back.
Copy !req
165. With tensions rising
and violence breaking out...
Copy !req
166. between VRA protestors
and supporters...
Copy !req
167. in the wake of the attempt
on Senator Kent's life...
Copy !req
168. things are escalating
very quickly here, Bruce.
Copy !req
169. Hey, what are you doing?
Copy !req
170. - Does Chloe know you're out here?
- Not exactly, no.
Copy !req
171. She worries, Clark.
Copy !req
172. I can't stay holed up
in Watchtower all day.
Copy !req
173. I'll drive myself crazy.
Copy !req
174. Your mother was out here
standing up for me too.
Copy !req
175. She won't be doing much of anything
if we don't figure out who did this.
Copy !req
176. - Did you find anything?
- No.
Copy !req
177. The cops haven't found anything either.
They can't even find the bullets.
Copy !req
178. - Clark, you all right?
- It's kryptonite.
Copy !req
179. Police didn't find bullets because
they're made out of meteor rock.
Copy !req
180. - Turn to dust on impact.
- Shooter knows your weakness.
Copy !req
181. They probably thought
I'd try to stop it.
Copy !req
182. This wasn't political.
It was personal.
Copy !req
183. Lois Lane. I called about doing
a pro-hero piece for your paper.
Copy !req
184. Then you really have no business...
Copy !req
185. calling yourselves "fair and balanced,"
now, do you?
Copy !req
186. - Hi.
- Hi. Oh.
Copy !req
187. - Let me get that for you.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
188. I see you've been baking again.
Copy !req
189. Well, yeah. I'm getting a little better.
Copy !req
190. And because of what you've
been through this morning...
Copy !req
191. you could use
a little homespun sweetness.
Copy !req
192. That's very thoughtful, Lois.
Copy !req
193. Ow.
Oh. Ha, ha.
Copy !req
194. Um, I also compiled a list
of the top 10 possible shooters.
Copy !req
195. Ray Sacks, Bruno Mannheim,
they're all in there.
Copy !req
196. And... Yeah.
Copy !req
197. - Lois.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
198. Don't worry. I've been impressed
with you for years.
Copy !req
199. This is for you.
Copy !req
200. Really?
Copy !req
201. - Wow.
- When I first came into this house...
Copy !req
202. I was the city girl,
and Jonathan's mom was particular.
Copy !req
203. I didn't think I'd measure up
to everything she'd been for him.
Copy !req
204. But on our wedding day,
she gave me that necklace...
Copy !req
205. and said the thing she couldn't
measure was Jonathan's happiness...
Copy !req
206. since he had met me.
Copy !req
207. But more importantly...
Copy !req
208. you are a perfect fit for Clark.
Copy !req
209. You inspire him.
Copy !req
210. I wish that I could inspire him
a little right now.
Copy !req
211. He just... He's losing hope.
Copy !req
212. I need to reach more people...
Copy !req
213. but all of my journalistic jump shots
keep getting blocked.
Copy !req
214. Did you know Perry White started out
fighting for his causes as an outsider?
Copy !req
215. He didn't think much
of the conventional media...
Copy !req
216. so he printed pamphlets
out of a storage unit.
Copy !req
217. Storage unit.
Copy !req
218. That is so low-rent and so rebel.
Copy !req
219. You've grown up, Alexander.
Copy !req
220. I watched your body fall 40 stories.
Copy !req
221. It was the greatest moment of my life.
Copy !req
222. Well, what father doesn't
wanna make his son happy?
Copy !req
223. You don't need this.
Copy !req
224. Kryptonite.
Copy !req
225. You shot Martha Kent.
Copy !req
226. Why would you do that? I understand
she's a perfectly lovely woman.
Copy !req
227. I was trying to kill him.
Copy !req
228. I thought he'd blur
in front of the bullet.
Copy !req
229. The kryptonite
would tear through him.
Copy !req
230. But he didn't come.
Copy !req
231. He wasn't there to protect her.
Copy !req
232. Don't worry, son.
I'm here now to protect you.
Copy !req
233. No one will ever find out
what happened today.
Copy !req
234. Will you help me kill Clark?
Copy !req
235. I betrayed you for that boy
in another life.
Copy !req
236. But now, here,
we've got another chance.
Copy !req
237. We'll work together.
Copy !req
238. You're my flesh and blood.
Copy !req
239. My only son.
Copy !req
240. With my help, you will succeed.
Copy !req
241. You will rule our family dynasty...
Copy !req
242. no matter what it costs.
Copy !req
243. God.
Copy !req
244. Wow.
Copy !req
245. Lois.
Copy !req
246. Why am I at my alma mater?
Copy !req
247. How am I supposed
to be protecting my heroes...
Copy !req
248. if I'm totally on everybody's radar?
Copy !req
249. And what's with
all the Woodward and Bernstein?
Copy !req
250. Actually, more like Perry and White.
Copy !req
251. - These are Perry's files.
- Oh.
Copy !req
252. That explains the smell
of Old Spice and young ambition.
Copy !req
253. I thought you'd be out
campaigning right now.
Copy !req
254. Actually, I'd rather be writing...
Copy !req
255. but no one wants to print
pro-hero prose.
Copy !req
256. I needed inspiration...
Copy !req
257. a way to blow down those power-puff
pieces piling up against the Blur.
Copy !req
258. And then it hit me
like a banner headline.
Copy !req
259. Go guerilla.
Copy !req
260. Okay, bad banana jokes aside...
Copy !req
261. do you really think that you and l
passing out a bunch of pamphlets...
Copy !req
262. is gonna actually defeat the VRA?
Copy !req
263. Actually, I had a different idea.
Copy !req
264. I just need you to hack into
a couple of national-news websites.
Copy !req
265. How many?
Copy !req
266. All of them.
Copy !req
267. Oliver, you can forget about
looking into those kryptonite bullets.
Copy !req
268. - I found the shooter's crow's nest.
- He leave an autograph?
Copy !req
269. More or less. Something he scratched
into the roof while he waited.
Copy !req
270. I've only seen this one other place,
on the wall in Alexander's cell.
Copy !req
271. - He's the shooter.
Don't worry, Clark.
Copy !req
272. We'll find this guy.
Copy !req
273. - What the hell is this?
- Forgot to change the locks.
Copy !req
274. Lionel Luthor.
Copy !req
275. It's a journal.
Copy !req
276. My, uh, doppelgänger's life
makes for a very interesting read.
Copy !req
277. Alexander.
Copy !req
278. I wouldn't get used to the view.
You forget, I know where you're from.
Copy !req
279. - People find out you're not real—
Not real?
Copy !req
280. Why would anyone think that?
Copy !req
281. I've been quietly reclaiming
my assets for months now.
Copy !req
282. Your illicit activities made it easy for me
to buy you out at a bargain...
Copy !req
283. and the LuthorCorp board
has welcomed me back with open arms.
Copy !req
284. - In this world, you murdered my parents.
- In mine too...
Copy !req
285. and I had a very good reason.
Copy !req
286. Hit me. Security's on the way.
We'll add assault and battery.
Copy !req
287. Come on.
Copy !req
288. I'll pass.
Copy !req
289. So, what was that this morning, huh?
Was that, uh, your idea?
Copy !req
290. Show Daddy that you
got the killer instinct too?
Copy !req
291. Are you making an accusation
against my son?
Copy !req
292. No one will take your word.
You're a convicted felon.
Copy !req
293. You should've stayed
out of the spotlight...
Copy !req
294. but you wanted celebrity.
Copy !req
295. You made one fatal mistake,
you trusted them, the people.
Copy !req
296. They're vulgar, uneducated
and stupid...
Copy !req
297. and they don't even know
when you're fighting for them.
Copy !req
298. Must be heartwrenching.
Copy !req
299. Well, you got it all figured out.
Copy !req
300. I'll tell you what.
Copy !req
301. I wouldn't underestimate
the common man in tomorrow's vote.
Copy !req
302. When the VRA's repealed
and my name is cleared...
Copy !req
303. I'm coming after you.
Copy !req
304. No, you're wrong.
Copy !req
305. Tomorrow, the people
will turn on you again, believe me.
Copy !req
306. You missed the mark, Green Arrow.
Copy !req
307. And now it's our turn.
Copy !req
308. Again.
Copy !req
309. Come on, Clark.
Copy !req
310. Tess?
- Clark, I have been calling you.
Copy !req
311. I've been busy. I found out
who the shooter was: Alexander.
Copy !req
312. I'm gonna need to scan traffic cameras,
retrace his steps.
Copy !req
313. Clark, Alexander's not the only Luthor
that's crawling back into our lives.
Copy !req
314. Lionel's here.
Copy !req
315. Lionel?
Copy !req
316. He followed you from his parallel world
and he knows about Alexander.
Copy !req
317. Worse, he's already found him. Just got
back from father-son day at LuthorCorp.
Copy !req
318. Alexander's all grown up.
Family's back in business.
Copy !req
319. Lionel's rebuilding his empire
with Lex by his side.
Copy !req
320. Clark, you saw the world
that Lionel built over there.
Copy !req
321. Use the mirror box
and send them both away.
Copy !req
322. I destroyed the mirror box.
Copy !req
323. Maybe Jor-El has a way
to send Lionel home.
Copy !req
324. Snow Dad's been a little frosty lately.
Copy !req
325. Maybe we should figure out
a different way.
Copy !req
326. Yeah, I agree with Oliver.
Copy !req
327. Don't you have other ways
to deal with them?
Copy !req
328. No one does anything
till I get back from the Fortress.
Copy !req
329. This is your home, Alexander.
Copy !req
330. You'll be safe here.
Copy !req
331. You always remember, son...
Copy !req
332. a Luthor's home is his castle.
Copy !req
333. But this really isn't your home,
Lionel, is it?
Copy !req
334. And we both know
this boy is sick and needs serious help.
Copy !req
335. Alexander, would you leave us
a minute, please?
Copy !req
336. Go on.
Copy !req
337. It's all right. It's all right.
Copy !req
338. So, Senator Martha Kent.
Copy !req
339. I assume Clark told you about
his journey through the looking glass.
Copy !req
340. And he just called me about yours.
Copy !req
341. You don't belong here.
Copy !req
342. That's strange, coming from you.
Copy !req
343. Where does your son belong?
Certainly not here.
Copy !req
344. Well, on this side of the mirror,
Clark is a force for good.
Copy !req
345. And if you try to hurt him...
Copy !req
346. I will destroy you.
Copy !req
347. I find you very attractive, Martha.
Copy !req
348. I understand why I had
such strong feelings for you.
Copy !req
349. I loved to give you presents.
Copy !req
350. There was a wristwatch.
Copy !req
351. You remember?
Copy !req
352. Lionel and I had nothing to hide.
Copy !req
353. Engraved.
Copy !req
354. "To Martha, with deep affection."
Copy !req
355. Did you share that
with your husband?
Copy !req
356. Stay away from Clark.
Copy !req
357. You may have used him
in your world to kill Lex...
Copy !req
358. but you won't use him in this one.
Copy !req
359. Alexander.
Copy !req
360. Is that true?
Copy !req
361. You abandoned me in this world
and wanted me dead in the next?
Copy !req
362. Oh, my God, son,
what have you done?
Copy !req
363. Son?
Copy !req
364. Isn't it a little late for that?
Copy !req
365. In two separate worlds,
you picked your son.
Copy !req
366. And it wasn't me.
Copy !req
367. You loved her son.
Copy !req
368. I was wrong, Alexander.
Copy !req
369. I—
Copy !req
370. That's why I came
back here to find you.
Copy !req
371. No second chances, Lionel.
Copy !req
372. It's time to end this family feud.
Copy !req
373. - Alexander, please listen to me.
- I know I'm dying.
Copy !req
374. I'm aging faster and faster.
Copy !req
375. I have all of Lex's memories.
Copy !req
376. And he despised
every single one of you.
Copy !req
377. Listen to me, son.
Copy !req
378. Don't let hate master you.
Make it your servant. Use it.
Copy !req
379. Let it build inside you.
Your hate can make you strong.
Copy !req
380. - I can teach you how.
- There's nothing left for you to teach me.
Copy !req
381. I'm taking pity on you, Martha.
Copy !req
382. I know how much it would kill you
to watch your son die.
Copy !req
383. I was halfway to the Fortress
when I realized what you meant.
Copy !req
384. You're looking
for the Phantom Zone crystal.
Copy !req
385. - You sent Slade there, didn't you?
- The VRA forced my hand.
Copy !req
386. When the justice system here is fixed,
I'll bring him back to stand trial.
Copy !req
387. How can you be so good, Clark?
Copy !req
388. Because no one taught him to hate.
Copy !req
389. Like Lionel taught me.
Copy !req
390. - Alexander.
- But don't worry.
Copy !req
391. I took care of my father.
Copy !req
392. And your mom too, Clark.
Copy !req
393. What did you do?
Copy !req
394. Clark.
Copy !req
395. Part of growing up
is letting go of your parents, Clark.
Copy !req
396. Something you've
always struggled with.
Copy !req
397. Where are they?
Copy !req
398. Back at the mansion.
Copy !req
399. Or what's left of it...
Copy !req
400. since it's burning to the ground
as we speak.
Copy !req
401. You're not a killer, not yet.
You can come back.
Copy !req
402. I'm the last Lex Luthor.
Copy !req
403. After I die, there's no coming back.
Copy !req
404. - Alexander—
- No, Tess!
Copy !req
405. I am done with all of you.
Copy !req
406. And you.
Copy !req
407. Always making yourself look better by
making me look like some monster!
Copy !req
408. You're not him.
Copy !req
409. You keep blaming everybody else,
but look who has the gun in their hand.
Copy !req
410. I know how you feel.
Copy !req
411. After living in the darkness
for so long...
Copy !req
412. you feel like
you can't step into the light...
Copy !req
413. because it makes you feel ashamed.
Copy !req
414. But Clark was the one
that changed everything for me.
Copy !req
415. He can do the same thing for you.
Copy !req
416. Why would you wanna help me?
Copy !req
417. I'm your enemy.
Copy !req
418. - We've been locked in battle for years.
- We're not locked into anything.
Copy !req
419. You had something Lex never had
and that's Tess.
Copy !req
420. She loved you.
Copy !req
421. I still love you. I do.
Copy !req
422. And I know that I'm not perfect.
Copy !req
423. But I'll always be there for you.
Copy !req
424. Okay?
Copy !req
425. This isn't over.
Copy !req
426. Cheer up, Clark.
Lex? Lionel? You had a big win tonight.
Copy !req
427. I think we'll still lose today.
Copy !req
428. And after this vote,
I'll be an outlaw forever.
Copy !req
429. Hey. You might wanna
take a look at this.
Copy !req
430. "A beacon of hope
shining light on the truth"?
Copy !req
431. It's our answer to the VRA.
Copy !req
432. Hey, Blur, it's Brian.
Copy !req
433. I like to consider myself
a longtime supporter...
Copy !req
434. of these vigilantes,
as they like to call it now.
Copy !req
435. All of my hopes were confirmed...
Copy !req
436. when I saw that mysterious letter S
showing up everywhere.
Copy !req
437. I knew it was you guys. And so,
what it's worth, Blur, thank you.
Copy !req
438. You've already changed my life.
Keep fighting, no matter what.
Copy !req
439. I remember what it was like here
in Metropolis before he came.
Copy !req
440. You couldn't even walk the streets.
But since the Blur came, we have hope.
Copy !req
441. So I just wanna let the Blur know...
Copy !req
442. that there are still people
who support him and I'm one of them.
Copy !req
443. Being a hero isn't about being able
to save every person from a mugging...
Copy !req
444. or pull someone
from a burning building...
Copy !req
445. but to give people hope
for a brighter tomorrow.
Copy !req
446. The Blur is a symbol for integrity
and morality and selflessness.
Copy !req
447. If you're listening to this,
Blur, thank you for everything.
Copy !req
448. I wanna be a hero to my kids.
Copy !req
449. I wanna be a hero that helps
give them faith in themselves...
Copy !req
450. that they can accomplish greatness.
Copy !req
451. Thank you for helping me believe
that heroes can and do exist.
Copy !req
452. Blur, I wanna thank you. As long
as you're doing what you're doing...
Copy !req
453. to keep the people
of our hometown safe...
Copy !req
454. us boys and girls here
can keep on doing our jobs.
Copy !req
455. I look at the Blur
and his powers that he has...
Copy !req
456. and they're amazing...
Copy !req
457. but that's not what inspires me
about him.
Copy !req
458. It's his character.
Copy !req
459. When I see the Blur
and others like him...
Copy !req
460. turn their differences
into strengths...
Copy !req
461. it gives me hope
that one day I can do the same.
Copy !req
462. He's always there for us, standing up
for us and doing what's right.
Copy !req
463. That's who a hero is, somebody who
stands up for others.
Copy !req
464. Everybody has
their favorite hero.
Copy !req
465. Well, my favorite hero is the Blur.
Copy !req
466. Thanks for being somebody
that I can count on to do what's right.
Copy !req
467. We love you, Blur.
We're always here for you.
Copy !req
468. I can't believe they'd risk
coming out to defend me.
Copy !req
469. You have no idea how much
you mean to people, Clark Kent.
Copy !req
470. I don't think
a couple hundred testimonials...
Copy !req
471. - ... will be enough to change the vote.
Try a couple hundred thousand.
Copy !req
472. All of them willing
to step forward for you.
Copy !req
473. They just needed a place to be heard.
Copy !req
474. You're an American hero, Clark.
Copy !req
475. This historic
vote is the first of its kind...
Copy !req
476. with an unprecedented number
of people going to the polls.
Copy !req
477. And I've just been told,
with all 50 states reporting in...
Copy !req
478. we can announce
that the measure to repeal...
Copy !req
479. the Vigilante Registration Act...
Copy !req
480. has passed.
Copy !req
481. Yeah!
Copy !req
482. - Yay!
- We won! Ha, ha, ha.
Copy !req
483. Thank you.
Copy !req
484. You should thank your mom
and Perry.
Copy !req
485. They were my inspiration.
Copy !req
486. I thought people
had given in to the hate.
Copy !req
487. I didn't realize how much
hope there was.
Copy !req
488. I wish I would've had more faith.
Copy !req
489. I wanna be the man
that you made that suit for.
Copy !req
490. You don't need a suit
to be the world's hero.
Copy !req
491. Well, when I saw those people
willing to defend me...
Copy !req
492. it was inspiring.
Copy !req
493. It got me to thinking that...
Copy !req
494. in order for the Blur
to be a true beacon of hope...
Copy !req
495. maybe people need
to see my face too.
Copy !req
496. I've been to the future...
Copy !req
497. and I saw the hero
that I will become to save the city.
Copy !req
498. But I also saw me.
I mean, Clark Kent...
Copy !req
499. disguised behind glasses
and a bad haircut.
Copy !req
500. Well, I'm sure
you still looked very handsome.
Copy !req
501. Mom, I just don't know how I can treat
Clark Kent as a disguise.
Copy !req
502. You and Dad raised me
to be who I am right now...
Copy !req
503. the real Clark Kent.
Copy !req
504. What's real is your strength
and integrity and compassion.
Copy !req
505. As long as you remain honest
to those things...
Copy !req
506. it doesn't matter what you wear
or what name you go by...
Copy !req
507. because you'll always be my son.
Copy !req
508. So you're saying I should become
that hero and step into the light?
Copy !req
509. Clark...
Copy !req
510. you are the light.
Copy !req
511. Oh, gosh,
your dad would be so proud.
Copy !req
512. - Hey, Tess.
- Hey.
Copy !req
513. Are you okay?
Copy !req
514. I feel sick.
Copy !req
515. Come here. Sit down.
Copy !req
516. I'm beginning to forget things.
Copy !req
517. Can you remember
what you did yesterday?
Copy !req
518. What if I forget everything?
Copy !req
519. What if I forget you?
Copy !req
520. Come here.
Copy !req
521. Come here, Alexander.
Copy !req
522. I promise you...
Copy !req
523. I promise you...
Copy !req
524. that I will make everything okay.
Copy !req
