1. Previously on Smallville:
Copy !req
2. Welcome to the Phantom Zone.
Copy !req
3. Jor-El created this place to hold criminals
from the 28 known inhabited galaxies.
Copy !req
4. The omega symbol. It preys upon
the dark side that we already have.
Copy !req
5. It feeds on our doubts
and our distrust.
Copy !req
6. It waits for everybody's weaknesses
and then we destroy ourselves.
Copy !req
7. This is considered a symbol of hope.
Copy !req
8. It's Old Blue. Mom used to keep it
in her kitchen window.
Copy !req
9. It's the deed to the farm.
Copy !req
10. If we didn't have this place,
we'd lose each other.
Copy !req
11. Smallville is my home.
Copy !req
12. If you move to Metropolis...
Copy !req
13. because that's who the world needs
you to be, that's just fine.
Copy !req
14. Hey, Lois?
Copy !req
15. Where can I put this box?
Copy !req
16. Well, I don't think that requires
any super-sleuthing.
Copy !req
17. It does say living room.
Copy !req
18. No, I can decipher your scrawl.
I'm just thinking it was mislabeled.
Copy !req
19. If you're talking about
my Whitesnake throw pillow...
Copy !req
20. loving everything about me
includes the sentimental.
Copy !req
21. I made this from my eighth-grade
concert T-shirt.
Copy !req
22. I talked to Oliver, and he told me
how smoothly he and Chloe...
Copy !req
23. fused their hero green and geek chic.
Copy !req
24. Don't worry, my for better or worse
will include your love of hair metal.
Copy !req
25. Let me move us in a lot faster.
I can unpack this in two seconds.
Copy !req
26. No, no. Hold the horsepower.
Copy !req
27. Part of us merging our lives together...
Copy !req
28. is taking the time to find the right spot
for everything.
Copy !req
29. All I know is my perfect spot
is here with you.
Copy !req
30. We'll take as much time as you need.
Copy !req
31. Sorry for the digital disruption,
but it's important.
Copy !req
32. What is it, Tess?
Copy !req
33. I just heard
from one of my military contacts.
Copy !req
34. Slade Wilson's back.
Copy !req
35. He was found unconscious
on a street corner.
Copy !req
36. He's in a coma
and completely unresponsive.
Copy !req
37. There's one way
out of the Phantom Zone.
Copy !req
38. It has to be activated
by a member of my family.
Copy !req
39. The House of El.
Copy !req
40. Slade's living proof
that someone stole your family key...
Copy !req
41. to Never-Never Escape Land.
Copy !req
42. Scanning crystal.
Copy !req
43. There's a better way to solve this
than sending yourself into exile.
Copy !req
44. If someone's releasing people...
Copy !req
45. I need to figure out why
before they release anyone else.
Copy !req
46. You mean "we," right?
I'm going with him.
Copy !req
47. You told Oliver I was going in?
Copy !req
48. I come back to risk life and limb
in the Phantom Zone...
Copy !req
49. I get not so much as a,
"Welcome back"?
Copy !req
50. Clark, you'll be powerless there.
Copy !req
51. Oliver has more experience with that.
Copy !req
52. Thanks. You could use me in there.
Copy !req
53. Absolutely not.
Copy !req
54. The Phantom Zone
is not a place for humans.
Copy !req
55. - I need to do this alone.
- Not completely alone.
Copy !req
56. Thanks to Booster's upgrade...
Copy !req
57. Watchtower should maintain
communication...
Copy !req
58. using the frequency vibrations
in the crystal.
Copy !req
59. Tracking audio transmission.
Copy !req
60. "Should" as in "might not."
Copy !req
61. It's not exactly a vacation destination,
so I haven't had the chance to test it.
Copy !req
62. Crystal online. Locked.
Copy !req
63. Okay.
Copy !req
64. Clark.
Copy !req
65. Frequency locked.
Copy !req
66. Be careful.
Copy !req
67. If I'd known about the drop,
I'd have brought rappelling equipment.
Copy !req
68. If I had known you'd ignore my warning,
I would have told you.
Copy !req
69. You should have trusted me.
Copy !req
70. You should have more faith
in your friends.
Copy !req
71. I came here to help you.
Copy !req
72. Wherever the hell this is.
Copy !req
73. Where I'm from,
people just hang a wreath.
Copy !req
74. It's a warning from the Zoners.
Copy !req
75. Consider it a not-so-friendly
"keep out" sign.
Copy !req
76. Guess we didn't corner the market
on darkness.
Copy !req
77. Darkseid's been to more places
in the galaxy than Earth.
Copy !req
78. He gets around. You think
he had anything to do with Slade?
Copy !req
79. I don't know.
Copy !req
80. If he's strong enough to make it here,
then no place is safe.
Copy !req
81. Listen, about this zone, Clark...
Copy !req
82. when you said Jor-El
built a prison...
Copy !req
83. I pictured something a little
more confined than a national park.
Copy !req
84. He built this place so Krypton's worst
criminals could have some kind of life.
Copy !req
85. Sounds like a real sweetheart.
Copy !req
86. - Watchtower, do you read me?
We're picking you up.
Copy !req
87. We've reached the gateway.
Copy !req
88. There must be some clues
to who opened the portal.
Copy !req
89. Phantoms.
Copy !req
90. I thought this was a clever name for jail.
Copy !req
91. They're the most dangerous prisoners.
We need to hurry.
Copy !req
92. How's it look?
Copy !req
93. Someone took the crystal.
Copy !req
94. - But the gate's still open, right?
- You don't understand.
Copy !req
95. The crystal is the gate.
Copy !req
96. Whoever sent Slade back
must have taken it with them.
Copy !req
97. It's our only ticket out of here, Clark.
Copy !req
98. Get ready.
Copy !req
99. They're coming.
Copy !req
100. Okay, here we go.
Copy !req
101. - They aren't back yet?
- Lois.
Copy !req
102. I told you that I had this under control.
Copy !req
103. My entire future just leapt headfirst...
Copy !req
104. into a world that makes hell
look like the Taj Mahal.
Copy !req
105. I am not gonna leave here
until I know he's safe.
Copy !req
106. Crystal transmission interrupted.
Copy !req
107. Signal interrupt.
Copy !req
108. - Why did that just cut out?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
109. I'm trying to reach them
and I'm getting no signal.
Copy !req
110. Maybe the problem's on our end.
Copy !req
111. No. Either the signal's been blocked
or the communicator has been destroyed.
Copy !req
112. Okay, what do we do next?
Copy !req
113. There is no next.
Copy !req
114. What?
Copy !req
115. Clark and Oliver are on their own now.
Copy !req
116. Kneel.
Copy !req
117. Where are you taking Oliver?
- You're worried for him. You should be.
Copy !req
118. But there's nothing you can do.
Copy !req
119. I know.
Copy !req
120. It's terrible, feeling so powerless...
Copy !req
121. when you know you've got
such strength inside of you...
Copy !req
122. with no way of unleashing it.
Copy !req
123. Even without the yellow sun,
I will find a way to defeat you.
Copy !req
124. You'll have to work twice as hard.
Copy !req
125. Because when I arrived here...
Copy !req
126. I made
a very special acquaintance.
Copy !req
127. Someone you know,
and someone I'm very, very fond of.
Copy !req
128. - Who?
- Me.
Copy !req
129. The original Zod's phantom.
Copy !req
130. Finally, back in the body
that you stripped me of.
Copy !req
131. Now I have the full knowledge
of two lives, and you...
Copy !req
132. you are my enemy in both.
Copy !req
133. And I defeated you in both.
Copy !req
134. Which is why it will give me double
the satisfaction to see you kneel...
Copy !req
135. and serve until you die.
Copy !req
136. You sent me to my death sentence.
Copy !req
137. You left me at the mercy
of those Kandorians.
Copy !req
138. This was my punishment.
Copy !req
139. Jor-El built this place for your kind.
Copy !req
140. My kind?
Is that why you sent Slade here?
Copy !req
141. What would Jor-El think about
you using his prison for your purposes?
Copy !req
142. There's no trial, no jury,
just the rule of Kal-El.
Copy !req
143. But I suppose, in the end,
it became your undoing, didn't it?
Copy !req
144. It was all a trap.
Copy !req
145. And you knew once that I saw
Slade had been sent back...
Copy !req
146. I'd come here looking for answers.
Copy !req
147. And you came.
Copy !req
148. You have the console crystal.
Copy !req
149. How?
Copy !req
150. We're blood brothers, Kal-El.
Copy !req
151. Have you forgotten how you healed me
with your blood on Earth?
Copy !req
152. We're not brothers.
Copy !req
153. I saved you
because it was the right thing to do.
Copy !req
154. - We have nothing in common.
- We're from the same world.
Copy !req
155. You think having powers is the thing
that makes you Kryptonian?
Copy !req
156. It's not.
Copy !req
157. We share the same instincts.
Copy !req
158. We're decisive.
Single-minded, headstrong.
Copy !req
159. No, we were meant to be leaders.
Copy !req
160. Leaders?
Copy !req
161. You're a tyrant
who only believes in himself.
Copy !req
162. Who else should I put my faith in?
Copy !req
163. We both know that trusting others
is a calculated risk...
Copy !req
164. one a Kryptonian is not willing to take.
Copy !req
165. Oh, we can easily fool
those closest to us, can't we?
Copy !req
166. But we can lean on no one.
Copy !req
167. Do you remember
that most famous story...
Copy !req
168. about two brothers
from your adopted planet?
Copy !req
169. You've got Cain and Abel.
Copy !req
170. Which brother are you, Kal-El?
Copy !req
171. Well, I'd never murder you.
Copy !req
172. I saved you.
Copy !req
173. You exiled me.
Copy !req
174. I'm in charge here...
Copy !req
175. and you're about to find out
what that means...
Copy !req
176. brother.
Copy !req
177. Yes! Kill him! Kill him! Yes, yes!
Copy !req
178. Clark.
Copy !req
179. They want you to fight.
Copy !req
180. To the death.
Copy !req
181. Yeah.
Copy !req
182. Look out.
Copy !req
183. The shield. Use the shield.
Copy !req
184. Look. Hey, here.
Copy !req
185. Kill him!
Kill him!
Copy !req
186. Get him now! Yeah!
Copy !req
187. Kill, kill, kill.
Copy !req
188. Kill, kill, kill.
Copy !req
189. In the arena...
Copy !req
190. we answer failure
with the only thing suitable.
Copy !req
191. Death.
Copy !req
192. No.
Copy !req
193. Yes.
Copy !req
194. You killed him for no reason.
Copy !req
195. In any arena, one fighter walks away.
Copy !req
196. Oh, when are you going to learn
it's kill or be killed?
Copy !req
197. It always was.
Copy !req
198. Maybe in your world,
but not mine.
Copy !req
199. This is my world.
Copy !req
200. Oh, and consider this
your one free pass.
Copy !req
201. If you fail to finish the job again...
Copy !req
202. it'll be you dragged along
by your heels.
Copy !req
203. - Still nothing?
- Still nothing.
Copy !req
204. Dinner plans? That's the third time
you checked your watch.
Copy !req
205. I'm just checking to see
how long they've been in there.
Copy !req
206. Lois, I'm as nervous about this
as you are, okay?
Copy !req
207. You have to trust me.
Copy !req
208. I've been in this situation enough times
to know that cool heads prevail, okay?
Copy !req
209. Okay, but you haven't actually been
to the Phantom Zone.
Copy !req
210. I've been there.
Copy !req
211. Now that the phantoms have found Clark
and Oliver, we have to get them out.
Copy !req
212. I'm trying.
Copy !req
213. Well, not hard enough.
Copy !req
214. You haven't checked the crystal laser.
What if that's why we lost contact?
Copy !req
215. Fine.
Copy !req
216. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
217. Tess is going to destroy the gate.
Copy !req
218. Better chance surviving your dad's desert
than Zod's Thunderdome.
Copy !req
219. Hiding out in the wasteland's
not gonna help.
Copy !req
220. Rather take my chances playing
patty cakes with the phantoms.
Copy !req
221. Zod has what we need to get home.
We're running out of time.
Copy !req
222. Before you invited yourself,
Tess and I put a plan in motion...
Copy !req
223. to protect Earth
if any phantoms escaped.
Copy !req
224. What'd you do, set it to self-destruct?
Copy !req
225. She set it to self-destruct.
Copy !req
226. It's the only option.
Copy !req
227. - How does Lois feel about that?
- Lois doesn't know.
Copy !req
228. But I hope to get us out of here
before we have to worry about that.
Copy !req
229. How? You can't bend metal in here.
You can't super-speed us back in time.
Copy !req
230. I know everything that Jor-El wrote
about the Phantom Zone.
Copy !req
231. And I know how Zod thinks.
Copy !req
232. Kill, kill, kill.
Copy !req
233. I hope all your studying paid off,
because it's test time.
Copy !req
234. Crystal's fine.
Copy !req
235. Like I said,
the problem has to be on their end.
Copy !req
236. Well, I guess you have it
all worked out, then, don't you?
Copy !req
237. Destroying the crystal
was a last resort, Lois.
Copy !req
238. I didn't wanna worry you.
Copy !req
239. I'm sorry if I'm not cheering the plan,
but you do realize...
Copy !req
240. that this is Clark and Oliver's lives
we're talking about here?
Copy !req
241. Yeah.
Copy !req
242. Clark knew the risks.
Copy !req
243. You know what could come through
that gateway if it stays open.
Copy !req
244. It's a homing signal
for anything in there.
Copy !req
245. So, what, you're just gonna shut it
behind them, with no way home?
Copy !req
246. I cannot believe you turned on them.
Copy !req
247. You were supposed to be a member
of this team.
Copy !req
248. I'm following Clark's orders.
Copy !req
249. Well, that is a terrible plan.
Copy !req
250. And there's no way
he'd be okay with it.
Copy !req
251. You said it yourself, Lois.
Copy !req
252. The phantoms, they're dangerous.
The last time they got out, people died...
Copy !req
253. and Clark wouldn't want that
to happen again.
Copy !req
254. I know this is hard, okay?
Copy !req
255. And I understand that you love Clark,
and you'd do anything not to lose him.
Copy !req
256. You bet I would.
Copy !req
257. Lois...
Copy !req
258. I don't wanna give up on Clark, either.
Copy !req
259. I don't, but we have a responsibility...
Copy !req
260. to not put the world at risk
for selfish reasons...
Copy !req
261. which is what you're doing
by wanting to see him again.
Copy !req
262. I will not let you sacrifice him.
Copy !req
263. Being with a hero...
Copy !req
264. means accepting that hero's sacrifices.
Copy !req
265. That's where you're wrong.
Copy !req
266. Being a hero's wife...
Copy !req
267. means never accepting defeat.
Copy !req
268. At least here,
you are on equal footing with Kal-El.
Copy !req
269. Having to walk alongside someone
with the powers of a god...
Copy !req
270. must be so demoralizing.
Copy !req
271. My ego's firmly intact,
thank you very much.
Copy !req
272. If you release your pets...
Copy !req
273. I'd be more than willing to give
the Wicked Witch a demonstration.
Copy !req
274. Go.
Copy !req
275. Yeah. That's it.
Copy !req
276. That's the anger I was looking for.
Copy !req
277. That dark side of you
that you fear so badly, and you should.
Copy !req
278. I've seen what Darkseid is capable of.
Copy !req
279. What do you know?
Copy !req
280. After the Kandorians sent me here...
Copy !req
281. a very powerful entity
came looking for me.
Copy !req
282. Darkseid promised me lordship
over this dominion...
Copy !req
283. if I solved one problem for him.
Copy !req
284. Clark.
Copy !req
285. Darkseid has certain ambitions
for your planet.
Copy !req
286. The thing is, we took care of that.
We blocked him.
Copy !req
287. Took care of his three little minions too.
Copy !req
288. Kal-El might delude himself, as usual,
that he's won...
Copy !req
289. but there are millions,
millions on Earth...
Copy !req
290. just waiting to surrender
to the will of Darkseid, and you...
Copy !req
291. friend, are one of them.
Copy !req
292. I know exactly what you're doing.
Copy !req
293. Yeah.
Copy !req
294. But you know it's true, don't you?
Copy !req
295. And it goes way back.
Copy !req
296. After your parents were murdered,
that anger...
Copy !req
297. and desire for revenge...
Copy !req
298. you can feel it now, can't you?
Copy !req
299. That darkness bubbling
under the surface.
Copy !req
300. It terrifies you.
Copy !req
301. Even if that were true, I would beat it.
Copy !req
302. Too late.
Copy !req
303. You're an agent of Darkseid now.
Copy !req
304. Just one of the many sinful souls
at his beck and call.
Copy !req
305. What would Clark think,
knowing you were a marked man?
Copy !req
306. He would, uh...
Copy !req
307. He'd stand by me.
Copy !req
308. But his faith in you
would be compromised.
Copy !req
309. That mistrust, it would grow.
It would manifest like a cancer.
Copy !req
310. Inevitably, you'll be cast aside,
out of his good graces, like I was.
Copy !req
311. We can rule here, together,
as brothers.
Copy !req
312. I was looking for a brother in Kal-El.
I was.
Copy !req
313. Ultimately, I realized
we have nothing in common.
Copy !req
314. Unlike you and l.
Copy !req
315. - He set the bar pretty high, didn't he?
- Heh.
Copy !req
316. Kal-El would never embrace
his dark side...
Copy !req
317. and because of that, he will die here.
Copy !req
318. But you, you can be saved.
Copy !req
319. If you're brave enough
to walk along that darker path.
Copy !req
320. You have to honor it.
Copy !req
321. You have to draw from that darkness...
Copy !req
322. because if you don't, you will die.
Copy !req
323. Yeah.
Copy !req
324. Come on!
Copy !req
325. Kill, kill, kill.
Copy !req
326. Kill him! Yeah!
Copy !req
327. Stop.
Copy !req
328. Congratulations.
Copy !req
329. At last, I have found
a brother-in-arms worth joining me.
Copy !req
330. But this...
Copy !req
331. This kill is mine.
Copy !req
332. At last, Kal-El,
you will know my vengeance.
Copy !req
333. I will have my revenge.
Copy !req
334. No more second chances.
Copy !req
335. No.
Copy !req
336. In terms of crippling wounds,
I've had worse.
Copy !req
337. From friendly fire?
Copy !req
338. Wasn't really part of the plan.
Copy !req
339. Come on.
You were the man with the plan.
Copy !req
340. Get Zod to pit us against each other...
Copy !req
341. knowing he'd wanna
finish you off himself.
Copy !req
342. Gave us a chance to grab the crystal.
But the plan isn't why we're here.
Copy !req
343. We're here
because we trusted each other.
Copy !req
344. I knew that whatever Zod said to Oliver,
he'd still follow through.
Copy !req
345. Yeah. Oh, it's—
Had to reel him in somehow, right?
Copy !req
346. I'm really glad you guys are back.
Copy !req
347. But I think I'm gonna have to call Dr. Emil
to take a look at that.
Copy !req
348. Clark, those omegas
that we saw at the gate...
Copy !req
349. seems like the darkness is everywhere.
Copy !req
350. What if it comes back?
Copy !req
351. We'll fight it.
Copy !req
352. Yeah.
Copy !req
353. Clark.
Copy !req
354. What if one of us were to get infected
with the darkness?
Copy !req
355. What would we do then?
Copy !req
356. We'd have to lock them up.
Copy !req
357. Darkness is a powerful thing.
Copy !req
358. It almost got me once.
Copy !req
359. And once it gets in...
Copy !req
360. I don't think there's a way out.
Copy !req
361. Yeah, hey, I mean,
at least we took care of Zod, right?
Copy !req
362. Can't say I'll be missing that guy.
Copy !req
363. Some of the things he said...
Copy !req
364. Half the things that come out
of his mouth are a lie.
Copy !req
365. He knows how to take the fear you have
about yourself and use it against you.
Copy !req
366. I know someone's darkest fear
will be never seeing her fiancé again.
Copy !req
367. Lois has gotta be worried sick.
You should go see her.
Copy !req
368. This, this is nothing. I'll be fine.
Go. Get out of here.
Copy !req
369. Clark.
Copy !req
370. - I knew you'd make it.
- I told you I would.
Copy !req
371. What happened to taking the time
to merge our lives together?
Copy !req
372. Finding the right place for everything?
Copy !req
373. Oh, well, you know me.
Waiting isn't exactly my strong suit.
Copy !req
374. So I guess nervous energy
equals power unpacking.
Copy !req
375. What did you do?
Enlist John Jones and Bart?
Copy !req
376. There's no way that you could have—
Copy !req
377. How long were we gone?
Copy !req
378. Three weeks.
Copy !req
379. We were only in there a few hours.
Copy !req
380. The crystal,
crushing it must have altered time.
Copy !req
381. So a few hours for me
was almost a month for you.
Copy !req
382. You waited all that time.
Copy !req
383. Well, the League decided it wasn't safe
to send any more people in after you...
Copy !req
384. so Tess and I took turns
camping out at Watchtower...
Copy !req
385. trying to re-establish contact
with you and Oliver.
Copy !req
386. I, uh...
Copy !req
387. brought the pillow with me
for downtime, because...
Copy !req
388. Well, it reminds me of you now.
Copy !req
389. Silly, huh?
Copy !req
390. After three hours,
Tess was supposed...
Copy !req
391. Blow up the gate.
Copy !req
392. Yeah.
Copy !req
393. Tess and I had a little unexpected
heart to heart about your secret plan.
Copy !req
394. I brought her around
to seeing things my way.
Copy !req
395. I just...
Copy !req
396. I wish you could have had
a little faith in me too.
Copy !req
397. Lois, I didn't want you to have to make
that kind of choice.
Copy !req
398. - I was trying to...
- Protect me?
Copy !req
399. I know.
Copy !req
400. But you're part of me now, Clark.
Copy !req
401. A half of a whole.
Copy !req
402. So in the future,
if there's even a chance...
Copy !req
403. that the mission might claim
my better half...
Copy !req
404. sign me up.
Copy !req
405. Because I'd rather be in some
sand-blown purgatory with you...
Copy !req
406. than in the hell of not knowing
if I'll ever see you again.
Copy !req
407. Lois, I am so sorry.
Copy !req
408. I try to make choices
using my human side...
Copy !req
409. but sometimes my Kryptonian side
takes over.
Copy !req
410. I try to control the situation.
Copy !req
411. Instead of hiding that side,
I should try to help you understand it.
Copy !req
412. Promise to put that
in your wedding vows.
Copy !req
413. The wedding.
Copy !req
414. Yeah, T-minus-two days, Smallville.
Copy !req
415. - You didn't postpone it.
- No.
Copy !req
416. I couldn't.
Copy !req
417. Believing that you would
come back to me...
Copy !req
418. was the only thing that kept me going.
Copy !req
419. But if you wanna postpone, that's fine.
Copy !req
420. Lois, there's nothing in this world
that could prevent me...
Copy !req
421. from walking down that aisle.
Copy !req
422. I knew you were coming.
Sneaking up on me is just showing off.
Copy !req
423. Your hunch was right.
Copy !req
424. The constellation in the Veritas journal...
Copy !req
425. cross-translates with Carter's notes
as the Bow of Orion.
Copy !req
426. And as associated with these coordinates
on the Celtic coast.
Copy !req
427. Since we're still going Dutch
on supersonic jet fuel...
Copy !req
428. do you mind telling me why you're
suddenly interested in a treasure hunt?
Copy !req
429. It's not a treasure.
Copy !req
430. It's, uh— It's Hawkman's quest.
Copy !req
431. He saw this guy Orion use it...
Copy !req
432. the last time he kicked Darkseid's ass
halfway across the universe.
Copy !req
433. He was never able to locate the weapon
that the hunter used to defeat him.
Copy !req
434. My family's journals were the missing
piece Hawkman never had.
Copy !req
435. Now we know where to look
for the weapon...
Copy !req
436. so it's my job to go find it.
Copy !req
437. Oliver.
Copy !req
438. Fighting Darkseid
isn't your own personal quest.
Copy !req
439. We're all in this together.
Copy !req
440. I just need you to trust me
on this one, okay?
Copy !req
441. There's enough water
under our collective bridge...
Copy !req
442. that if you need me
not to ask questions...
Copy !req
443. I can do that.
Copy !req
444. Thank you.
