1. Previously on Smallville:Copy !req
2. We didn't find him, he found us.Copy !req
3. I could've swore I hit you.Copy !req
4. - So, what are you? Man or superman?
- I haven't figured it out yet.Copy !req
5. You are the last son of Krypton.Copy !req
6. What are you trying to say?
I'm from another planet?Copy !req
7. I don't know how I'm supposed to be
the man he wanted without him here.Copy !req
8. - Who are you?
- Lois Lane.Copy !req
9. I've seen how you look at each other.Copy !req
10. Lois and Clark would be great together.Copy !req
11. I'm the newest recruit
to the Daily Planet.Copy !req
12. To me you're more than just a hero.
You're a superhero.Copy !req
13. I am the villain of the story.Copy !req
14. Lionel's here.Copy !req
15. I'm not the Lionel you knew.Copy !req
16. Lex is dead.
That is a lie.Copy !req
17. You're all engineered from Lex's DNA.Copy !req
18. When I sent the Kandorians away,
I opened a door for something else...Copy !req
19. to come to Earth. It preys upon
the dark side we already have.Copy !req
20. Now our unholy trinity is complete...Copy !req
21. preparing the way for Lord Darkseid.Copy !req
22. You won't remember any of this.Copy !req
23. The Omega's a sign of corruption.
A mark that the darkness has taken over.Copy !req
24. - What if one of us were to get infected?
if we can't stop it...Copy !req
25. the darkness will infect
every person on this planet.Copy !req
26. - Gold meteor rock.
- It could take away his powers.Copy !req
27. You could be the greatest hero
the world's known.Copy !req
28. Not according to Jor-El.Copy !req
29. - Prove him wrong.
You may not see me as a hero...Copy !req
30. but the rest of the world does,
and I decide my fate!Copy !req
31. Your journey is far from over.Copy !req
32. Goodbye, Jor-El.Copy !req
33. And now, the series finale ofSmallville.Copy !req
34. "This is the story of an amazing boy
who grew up in the fields of Kansas...Copy !req
35. in a little town called Smallville.Copy !req
36. When he became a man, he believed
the only way to seize his destiny...Copy !req
37. was to turn his back
on both his parents...Copy !req
38. and refuse to see the darkness
descending on Earth.Copy !req
39. But all that was about to change.Copy !req
40. He was about to face
his greatest challenge."Copy !req
41. Some people take time off
when it's their wedding day.Copy !req
42. There is no wedding. Don't pretend
you didn't hear what I said last night.Copy !req
43. And you're one to talk.
That blue underoo...Copy !req
44. sticking out of your collar means
you're on the job too.Copy !req
45. I was keeping busy.
I didn't wanna crowd you.Copy !req
46. You know, you haven't called
in eight hours.Copy !req
47. Usually you figure things out
when I give you some space.Copy !req
48. Or you can just keep avoiding me.Copy !req
49. I'm not avoiding you.
I have work to do.Copy !req
50. The president just arrived
for a fundraiser...Copy !req
51. plus a huge stack of police reports
just came in.Copy !req
52. And I have to call all the guests...Copy !req
53. and let them know
that the big day has been cancelled.Copy !req
54. Nice try, speedy.Copy !req
55. But you can't make 411 disappear.Copy !req
56. Your Copperfield act is impressive...Copy !req
57. but it won't change my mind.Copy !req
58. Go out there and save the day.Copy !req
59. Wherever it needs saving.Copy !req
60. Lois, there's a team of heroes out there
protecting the world.Copy !req
61. So we can get married.Copy !req
62. You really don't see it, do you?Copy !req
63. You're a hero
and that's how it should be.Copy !req
64. You've gotten so used to the fact
that you know you're gonna be able...Copy !req
65. to fix everything
and make everything right...Copy !req
66. that you cut out any possibility that
there are some things that you just—Copy !req
67. You can't fix.Copy !req
68. We don't need fixing.Copy !req
69. We don't.Copy !req
70. But we are in an impossible situation.Copy !req
71. One that you can't super-speed...Copy !req
72. or super-hear
or super-leap your way out of.Copy !req
73. Clark, every minute
that you spend with me...Copy !req
74. having dinner,
arguing about paint colors...Copy !req
75. arguing about whether or not
to get married...Copy !req
76. you could be out there
saving someone.Copy !req
77. Lois, this is my future,
and I want you to be a part of it.Copy !req
78. Yeah, well,
maybe we don't get what we want.Copy !req
79. I'm just in your way.Copy !req
80. You're not in my way, Lois.Copy !req
81. You're by my side.Copy !req
82. If you really wanna cancel
the wedding...Copy !req
83. you're gonna have to leave me
standing at the altar.Copy !req
84. Who knew tying the knot
was so much work?Copy !req
85. You gotta remind me to thank Zatanna
for making our nuptials so hassle-free.Copy !req
86. I would've liked to have remembered
some details of our wedding.Copy !req
87. Considering the details of that night,
all I really need is a marriage license.Copy !req
88. - You know, I was wondering if you—
- I was gonna ask you—Copy !req
89. - Sorry, you can go—
- You should go first.Copy !req
90. Go ahead.Copy !req
91. If Zatanna hadn't put you under that spell,
would you still have, um...?Copy !req
92. Gone through with it.Copy !req
93. Yeah. It's the best decision
I don't remember making.Copy !req
94. - What about you?
- Ditto.Copy !req
95. So, what are we supposed to do now
anyway? Buy a condo and a Cuisinart?Copy !req
96. "Supposed to do" has never been
a part of our unique relationship.Copy !req
97. We've always made up our way
of doing things.Copy !req
98. Yeah.Copy !req
99. Including making our big day
the quietest nonevent of all time.Copy !req
100. You know, we may be trumped
in the nonevent category...Copy !req
101. by Lois and Clark.
She hasn't called back.Copy !req
102. I phoned, texted and e-mailed her,
but it's all quiet on the wedding front.Copy !req
103. It's the matron of honor's duty
to get the bride to the altar on time.Copy !req
104. So you may wanna reel her in.Copy !req
105. My best man duties
are all taken care of. l, uh...Copy !req
106. - I picked these up this morning.
- Aw.Copy !req
107. - Simple and classic.
- Yeah.Copy !req
108. Now get the mice and the pumpkin
over to Cinderella's...Copy !req
109. and get her to the church on time.Copy !req
110. I see you're living up
to your Luthor name.Copy !req
111. Last heir to the dark dynasty.Copy !req
112. I'm rebuilding this mansion
to make it a symbol for something good.Copy !req
113. To change the way that people see us
and the Luthor legacy.Copy !req
114. Why are you here?Copy !req
115. I shouldn't be here,
but I couldn't help myself.Copy !req
116. Look at you.Copy !req
117. All grown up.Copy !req
118. I always wanted to be there for you,
a loving mother.Copy !req
119. You were never my mother.Copy !req
120. You were special.Copy !req
121. Every soul on Earth
charts its own destiny...Copy !req
122. each decision tipping it
toward the light or toward the darkness.Copy !req
123. I could always tell
which side of the balance...Copy !req
124. my girls would fall to.Copy !req
125. But you were different.Copy !req
126. You were born to darkness
yet you yearned for the light.Copy !req
127. Being a Luthor
doesn't determine my fate.Copy !req
128. Then you must listen to me.
I can't bear to see you suffer.Copy !req
129. I want to give your soul eternal life.
Please, Lutessa, let me save you.Copy !req
130. Lutessa.Copy !req
131. From what?Copy !req
132. Darkseid's Apokolips.Copy !req
133. Evil in its purest form...Copy !req
134. the heart of human nature
obscured over time...Copy !req
135. as something to be cast away
rather than embraced.Copy !req
136. Hades, Kali, even the word Lucifer
is an old Latin phrase...Copy !req
137. meaning morning star,
bringer of light.Copy !req
138. I'm afraid the centuries and translations
have twisted Darkseid's true gifts.Copy !req
139. But before the end of days...Copy !req
140. his rapture
will be the only salvation.Copy !req
141. I will never join you.Copy !req
142. Farewell, my child.Copy !req
143. Bless your soul.Copy !req
144. Wait.Copy !req
145. When?Copy !req
146. I mean, what do you mean? When?
When is this hell coming?Copy !req
147. It's not coming, Lutessa.Copy !req
148. It's upon us.Copy !req
149. Mom. I thought you were staying
at the bed and breakfast.Copy !req
150. I thought I was coming back
to a home...Copy !req
151. that you and Lois
were building together.Copy !req
152. We are in Metropolis.Copy !req
153. I hope. I sent you a message.
We close escrow in a few days.Copy !req
154. Clark, I think you misunderstood
when I sent you the deed.Copy !req
155. This is our home.Copy !req
156. We've already accepted the offer.
You're in the middle of a campaign.Copy !req
157. Just because I'm moving ahead
with my life...Copy !req
158. doesn't mean I'm letting go
of everything that came before.Copy !req
159. That was a hard lesson to learn.Copy !req
160. Is this about Dad?Copy !req
161. I know it's been tough since he died
being the one left behind—Copy !req
162. That's just it.Copy !req
163. I was never left behind.Copy !req
164. No matter where I am...Copy !req
165. or who I'm choosing to bring
into my life...Copy !req
166. your father is always with me.Copy !req
167. And he's with you.Copy !req
168. If you just allow yourself to see him.Copy !req
169. I did.Copy !req
170. Last year.Copy !req
171. I thought I was talking to him.Copy !req
172. But I realized it was just an excuse
for me not to face my future.Copy !req
173. Just like I was waiting for Jor-El
to show me the way.Copy !req
174. I had to move on.Copy !req
175. I'm so proud
of the man you've become.Copy !req
176. But why bring up Dad today
of all days?Copy !req
177. Because this is a day
to celebrate the next step...Copy !req
178. in the journey you're on.
And everyone who's been a part of it.Copy !req
179. And you don't think I'm doing that?Copy !req
180. Clark,
you're so focused on what's ahead...Copy !req
181. you're starting to cut out the parts
of your past that made you who you are.Copy !req
182. I...Copy !req
183. I can't begin to imagine the pain you
see every day when you're out there.Copy !req
184. I know you have to put blinders on
to cope with your responsibilities.Copy !req
185. But if you turn your back
on all the experiences...Copy !req
186. that made you strong
and compassionate because they hurt...Copy !req
187. I'm afraid that one day
everything you learned in Smallville...Copy !req
188. will have been for nothing.Copy !req
189. - I'm never gonna let that happen.
- You already are and you don't see it.Copy !req
190. Sweetheart...Copy !req
191. all I'm saying
is you don't have to let go of the past...Copy !req
192. to move on.Copy !req
193. Yes, you do, Mom, I'm sorry.Copy !req
194. I love you, but you have to find a way
to put all this behind you just like I did.Copy !req
195. It's the only way to move on.Copy !req
196. Come on, people,
Air Force One landed an hour ago.Copy !req
197. They haven't left the hangar.
This newshound smells a story.Copy !req
198. Give me something
I can sink my teeth into.Copy !req
199. - No, no and no.
- Look, I know you have a laundry list...Copy !req
200. of reasons not to get married,
but you'll never see the big picture...Copy !req
201. if you get stuck on spin cycle.Copy !req
202. There's no Chloe quip
that's gonna make me change my mind.Copy !req
203. Clark can hear cries for help.
He's duty-bound to answer the call.Copy !req
204. - I won't stand in his way.
- He can't listen all the time.Copy !req
205. He's not God. He can't be aware
of every bird or blade of grass, okay?Copy !req
206. He's a man.
And sometimes he needs to not listen.Copy !req
207. He needs to rest, to love, to laugh.Copy !req
208. And when he finally does decide
to take to the skies...Copy !req
209. he's gonna need you to ground him.Copy !req
210. But that's what I'm afraid of.Copy !req
211. I'm grounding him...Copy !req
212. keeping him
from soaring to new heights.Copy !req
213. No, Lois.Copy !req
214. That is so not what he thinks.Copy !req
215. But since you're not gonna meet him
at the altar...Copy !req
216. you should hear that
in his own words.Copy !req
217. I, Clark Kent, take you, Lois Lane,
to be my companion.Copy !req
218. Forever.Copy !req
219. And with you by my side,
I will never be alone.Copy !req
220. The world sees a strong
and independent woman.Copy !req
221. I've never known someone
with such gentle grace...Copy !req
222. and more pure heart.Copy !req
223. When I've been lost...Copy !req
224. you've always been there
to bring me back.Copy !req
225. So on this day, at this moment...Copy !req
226. I pledge the rest of my life to you.Copy !req
227. You've always believed in me.Copy !req
228. And I believe in you.Copy !req
229. And when you believe in someone,
it's not for a minute...Copy !req
230. or just for now.Copy !req
231. It's forever.Copy !req
232. I'm such an idiot.Copy !req
233. Watchtower,
access satellite Chloe 2.Copy !req
234. Satellite Chloe 2.
Access unavailable. Not online.Copy !req
235. What the hell is going on?Copy !req
236. The satellite
was programmed to disconnect.Copy !req
237. We don't have our eye in the sky.
Who gave that command?Copy !req
238. I'm sorry, Ms. Mercer...Copy !req
239. you do not have the proper
security clearance.Copy !req
240. Link me to Queen Industries' satellite.Copy !req
241. All Queen Industries'
satellites are off-line and inaccessible.Copy !req
242. - How is that possible?
- Program command to disconnect...Copy !req
243. came from Watchtower base
at 1242 hours.Copy !req
244. Bring up security footage
from that time.Copy !req
245. Accessing.Copy !req
246. Oliver.Copy !req
247. What did you do?Copy !req
248. Code log display.Copy !req
249. Can you access
Watchtower's orbiter's video feed?Copy !req
250. Manhunter
has put the new space station online...Copy !req
251. per your request.Copy !req
252. Thank God for our favorite Martian.Copy !req
253. Watchtower,
show me what's out there.Copy !req
254. Switching video feed.Copy !req
255. I've done what you asked.Copy !req
256. They won't know
Apokolips is coming.Copy !req
257. Our dark lord will be pleased.Copy !req
258. Now we ask one final mission of you.Copy !req
259. To protect the souls we've saved.Copy !req
260. This will disarm the bringer of light.Copy !req
261. The one who threatens to vanquish
the darkness.Copy !req
262. I never wanted to say goodbye.Copy !req
263. Then don't.Copy !req
264. I thought I had it all figured out.Copy !req
265. How to move on.Copy !req
266. And bury my guilt, my insecurities,
my questions...Copy !req
267. I'm so close.Copy !req
268. I know who I'll become, I've seen it.Copy !req
269. Lois thinks I should let her go.Copy !req
270. Mom says I should hold on to you.Copy !req
271. You don't need to hold on to somebody,
Clark, if they're already in your heart.Copy !req
272. I just can't keep leaning on you.Copy !req
273. On Jor-El.
I need to stand alone, you know?Copy !req
274. It's better that way.Copy !req
275. You mean it's easier that way.Copy !req
276. It's just that I've missed you so much.Copy !req
277. Then let me be there for you, Clark.Copy !req
278. And don't push your mother away.Copy !req
279. We're a part of you.Copy !req
280. It's like I'm on a cliff,
standing on the edge.Copy !req
281. Where I'm looking
is beyond where you've been before.Copy !req
282. It's beyond
where Jor-El has ever been before.Copy !req
283. As much as I value
everything you've given me...Copy !req
284. I need to go beyond where
either of you can guide me anymore.Copy !req
285. To be the hero
that the world needs me to be.Copy !req
286. Why is it that the biggest events
are always the most painful?Copy !req
287. You know, Clark, when I graduated
from Excelsior, it was, uh...Copy !req
288. It was one of the most important days
of my life, but...Copy !req
289. I don't remember
any of the speeches that were given.Copy !req
290. I don't remember getting my diploma.
I just, uh...Copy !req
291. I remember my parents
not being there.Copy !req
292. I know what you're trying to say.
I'm not here to mourn my father's death.Copy !req
293. I already did that.Copy !req
294. I put it behind me.Copy !req
295. If by putting it behind you, you mean
saying sayonara to your ice dad...Copy !req
296. selling the farm,
hanging in a cemetery...Copy !req
297. instead of being in a church
wearing a starched suit.Copy !req
298. What if Lois was right?
What if this is all wrong?Copy !req
299. My training, Smallville,
the farm, my memories.Copy !req
300. What if it was all just a crutch?Copy !req
301. I don't think taking a scalpel
to your past is gonna turn you...Copy !req
302. - ... into the caped skywalker of your future.
- I thought Lois was my future.Copy !req
303. I thought she was my new life,
my destiny.Copy !req
304. What if she's part of the memories
I need to leave behind?Copy !req
305. What if heroes aren't destined
to love?Copy !req
306. I've been down this road before.
Know where it landed me?Copy !req
307. Burning a perfectly good
leather hoodie.Copy !req
308. I was on the edge. It took a good friend
to remind me who I was.Copy !req
309. - Push me toward who I could become.
- That's the thing, Oliver.Copy !req
310. No one can push me
or lead me anywhere.Copy !req
311. My whole life,
I've been trying to fit into two worlds.Copy !req
312. And the truth is
I don't belong to either one of them.Copy !req
313. I need to make my own path.Copy !req
314. Maybe that means letting go
of both worlds.Copy !req
315. Maybe it means letting go of Lois.Copy !req
316. Cla—Copy !req
317. Lois?Copy !req
318. Careful there.Copy !req
319. It's bad luck to peek at the bride
before you get to the altar.Copy !req
320. Technically,
you saw me this morning...Copy !req
321. but the rules only apply
when the wedding is on.Copy !req
322. On?Copy !req
323. Lois, I thought you called off
the wedding.Copy !req
324. Don't have a cow, farm boy.Copy !req
325. But I read your vows.Copy !req
326. And I know
that that is against the rules...Copy !req
327. but a little birdie bridesmaid
gave it to me...Copy !req
328. and they were beautiful. And I realized
that I was a fool because I was—Copy !req
329. What we have is a gift
and I was trying to return it...Copy !req
330. when we're a perfect fit.Copy !req
331. So here's my vows.Copy !req
332. Now we're even.Copy !req
333. Lois, sometimes you can see things
that I can't.Copy !req
334. And you walked away
because you couldn't bring yourself...Copy !req
335. to stand in the way of my destiny.Copy !req
336. Well, here's the thing about that.Copy !req
337. I can be loud.Copy !req
338. And at times, I'm a little bossy.Copy !req
339. So someone might wonder
why a person of your god-like caliber...Copy !req
340. would be with a woman
who is so imperfect.Copy !req
341. Well, don't take this the wrong way,
but you come with baggage of your own.Copy !req
342. And it's made me a better person.Copy !req
343. Just like being with me will make you
a greater man and a superhero.Copy !req
344. I hope.Copy !req
345. Lois...Copy !req
346. what if you were right?Copy !req
347. With your family not being here
and the doubts that you had yesterday.Copy !req
348. Maybe the stars aren't aligned.Copy !req
349. It's a buzzkill that the chief of staff
whisked Daddy and Wayne...Copy !req
350. to some hush-hush meeting,
but I'm a big girl.Copy !req
351. I can walk myself down the aisle.Copy !req
352. As my mom always said...Copy !req
353. the ones you love
are always with you.Copy !req
354. Right now, my dad would say I should've
laid out all my clothes the night before...Copy !req
355. so that I wouldn't be whirling around
like a dervish.Copy !req
356. And Mom?Copy !req
357. She's reminding me
that I need to breathe...Copy !req
358. and take in every moment,
so that I can remember them forever.Copy !req
359. What would your dad say, Clark?Copy !req
360. I'm not sure he would say anything,
Lois.Copy !req
361. It's just kind of the way it was
with my dad.Copy !req
362. I always knew exactly
what he was thinking.Copy !req
363. Clark, what did you mean...Copy !req
364. about the stars not aligning?Copy !req
365. I wanted these vows to be perfect.Copy !req
366. But perfection is a hard thing
to get your hands on.Copy !req
367. But life is meant to be a little messy.Copy !req
368. And when it comes to love, I think it's
like my dad always said about the Army.Copy !req
369. You only sign up if it's the only thing
you can ever imagine doing.Copy !req
370. And, Clark, I cannot imagine...Copy !req
371. spending a moment of my life
without you.Copy !req
372. So I promise that I will always have
your back as you will always have mine.Copy !req
373. You're my best friend, you're my home.
And you are my true love.Copy !req
374. And I am yours and will be forever.Copy !req
375. Clark?Copy !req
376. I'm here.Copy !req
377. I'll see you at the chapel.Copy !req
378. Yeah.Copy !req
379. See you there.Copy !req
380. I hope one of you gets this.Copy !req
381. Uh, because of the interference...Copy !req
382. I don't know if my calls
are going through, but—Copy !req
383. What the hell?Copy !req
384. Oh, God.Copy !req
385. - Everything okay, Smallville?
- Perfect.Copy !req
386. It's perfect.Copy !req
387. I wanted these vows to be perfect.Copy !req
388. But perfection is a hard thing
to get your hands on.Copy !req
389. But life is meant to be a little messy.Copy !req
390. When it comes to love, I think it's like
my dad always said about the Army.Copy !req
391. You only sign up if it's the only thing
you can ever imagine doing.Copy !req
392. I, Clark Kent, take you,
Lois Lane, to be my companion forever.Copy !req
393. With you by my side,
I will never be alone.Copy !req
394. You're my best friend, you're my home.Copy !req
395. And you're my true love.Copy !req
396. And I am yours and will be forever.Copy !req
397. On this day, at this moment...Copy !req
398. I pledge the rest of my life to you.Copy !req
399. You've always believed in me...Copy !req
400. and I believe in you.Copy !req
401. And when you believe in someone,
it's not for a minute.Copy !req
402. Or just for now.Copy !req
403. It's forever.Copy !req
404. No!Copy !req
405. - Oliver, what are you do—?
Chloe, be careful.Copy !req
406. - Get everybody out.
Everybody exit the chapel.Copy !req
407. Go.
Please. Hurry please. Quickly.Copy !req
408. Surrender to darkness.
- Never.Copy !req
409. Clark!
No! Lois!Copy !req
410. Oliver. This isn't you.Copy !req
411. Don't let it take you over.Copy !req
412. Oliver, listen to me.Copy !req
413. - You need to fight it.
- You're too late.Copy !req
414. There's no saving you.Copy !req
415. That's not true.Copy !req
416. You haven't always made
the right choices.Copy !req
417. You once gave up on yourself
and those around you.Copy !req
418. I'm not giving up on you, Oliver.Copy !req
419. You have a good heart.
Let it guide you.Copy !req
420. You and I,
we have to save the world together.Copy !req
421. I need you to be a hero.Copy !req
422. I know you'll make the right choice.Copy !req
423. You know Gold Kryptonite
will take away my powers forever.Copy !req
424. Listen, I believe in you.Copy !req
425. Everything's okay now.Copy !req
426. No, it's not.Copy !req
427. The world is gonna need its heroes
sooner than we thought.Copy !req
428. Across the globe,
crowds are gathering on the streets...Copy !req
429. to witness
the strange atmospheric changes.Copy !req
430. Cell phone reception
was going down...Copy !req
431. - ... while Tess was leaving this message.
- Play that again.Copy !req
432. I was trying to
warn you. Watchtower is compromised.Copy !req
433. Prophets are at the center of this.Copy !req
434. According to the journals,
Apokolips is an actual planet.Copy !req
435. It's coming.Copy !req
436. The eclipse, Darkseid is behind it.Copy !req
437. Must be why he tried to get Oliver
to put the ring on me.Copy !req
438. He knows I would've tried to stop him.
We need to find Tess.Copy !req
439. It sounds like she may know a way
to defeat the darkness.Copy !req
440. Thank you, general. The Joint Chiefs
of Staff and the Defense Department...Copy !req
441. aren't speaking until
the president makes a statement.Copy !req
442. If the Pentagon's not stepping up,
I'll call every available agent.Copy !req
443. - Something tells me we'll need them all.
- We're gonna need a bigger team.Copy !req
444. If Watchtower is down, I gotta go
to Star City to access my database.Copy !req
445. - Then I'm going with you.
- No, I got this.Copy !req
446. Your talents are better used here.Copy !req
447. We gotta figure out what happened
with Watchtower.Copy !req
448. See you in the funny pages.Copy !req
449. Hey.Copy !req
450. I'd feel better
if you let me be your chauffeur.Copy !req
451. No.Copy !req
452. You need to do what you do best.Copy !req
453. Be a hero.Copy !req
454. You too, Sullivan.Copy !req
455. Dad.Copy !req
456. I knew you'd see me again.Copy !req
457. When you were ready.Copy !req
458. I made a mistake, Dad.Copy !req
459. I thought I had to leave you behind.Copy !req
460. But you and Mom...Copy !req
461. everyone I care about
that makes this world worth saving.Copy !req
462. But you're worried
you're gonna fail this time.Copy !req
463. I know you're scared, son.Copy !req
464. I faced Darkseid before.Copy !req
465. He knows my weakness.
He almost defeated me.Copy !req
466. I need your help.Copy !req
467. But, son, he never saw the man
who's standing before me now.Copy !req
468. Clark Kent...Copy !req
469. as much as your mother and l
tried to protect you from your origins...Copy !req
470. tried to prepare you
to face any challenge...Copy !req
471. I'm sorry, son, but our guidance
just isn't enough anymore.Copy !req
472. You're gonna have to let Jor-El
guide you from here on out.Copy !req
473. I can't, Dad.Copy !req
474. I turned my back on him
like I did you.Copy !req
475. He's your father.Copy !req
476. He'll understand.Copy !req
477. Don't doubt yourself, Clark.Copy !req
478. This has been coming for a long time.Copy !req
479. Before you arrived...Copy !req
480. we wanted a child so badly.Copy !req
481. The day you found us in that field...Copy !req
482. you were the miracle we prayed for.Copy !req
483. Now the world needs
that same miracle.Copy !req
484. Son...Copy !req
485. it's time.Copy !req
486. Thank you.Copy !req
487. It's good to have you back.Copy !req
488. - I should have guessed it would be you.
- No, no, no, no, no.Copy !req
489. Don't beat yourself up, Tess.Copy !req
490. I've been watching you very closely.Copy !req
491. I'm impressed.Copy !req
492. I must admit...Copy !req
493. I underestimated you.Copy !req
494. It's a little late, huh?Copy !req
495. It's not time
for a father-daughter chat.Copy !req
496. There's literally a planet hurtling
toward Earth.Copy !req
497. Do I catch the tiniest hint of a doubt?Copy !req
498. Are you worried that your savior in red
might not prevail?Copy !req
499. - He needs me.
Wrong.Copy !req
500. He needs no one.
I've seen what he's capable of.Copy !req
501. Yeah, it's ironic, I'm the only one
who seems to believe in him, isn't it?Copy !req
502. Don't question
where my allegiance lies.Copy !req
503. It's time you embrace your lineage,
Tess.Copy !req
504. Time to become the Luthor
you were destined to be.Copy !req
505. Why did you bring me here?Copy !req
506. My son, Lex...Copy !req
507. your brother, a genius...Copy !req
508. carried on with the family business.Copy !req
509. As you know...Copy !req
510. Lex cloned himself.Copy !req
511. There were many clones.Copy !req
512. None of them were perfect,
but some of the pieces were.Copy !req
513. No.Copy !req
514. Yes.Copy !req
515. Lex took the best pieces
and grafted them into a masterwork.Copy !req
516. - I don't believe you.
- Of course you don't.Copy !req
517. Lex is a visionary. You're not.Copy !req
518. Where is he, then?Copy !req
519. He'll reveal himself when he's ready.Copy !req
520. It's not possible.Copy !req
521. Yeah, well, there is one thing Lex
wasn't able to duplicate successfully.Copy !req
522. Lex is missing a heart.Copy !req
523. And who better to save him
than the sister who loves him?Copy !req
524. Luthors are survivors.Copy !req
525. You are one of us, my dear.Copy !req
526. It's all right.Copy !req
527. When the day is done,
I will see the Luthor name resurrected...Copy !req
528. more powerful than ever.Copy !req
529. Tess.Copy !req
530. According to the journals,
the Apokolips is a planet.Copy !req
531. And it's coming.Copy !req
532. What the hell? Oh, my God!Copy !req
533. No!Copy !req
534. No.Copy !req
535. No!Copy !req
536. Tess.Copy !req
537. Tess, Tess.Copy !req
538. You must see that you were the cause
of your own undoing.Copy !req
539. He's your brother.
Don't you understand?Copy !req
540. I thought Conner's heart
would have been a more poetic choice.Copy !req
541. You've hidden him so cleverly,
there's no alternative.Copy !req
542. Lex is worth killing
your own daughter?Copy !req
543. Lex is worth everything to me.Copy !req
544. Finally...Copy !req
545. you will serve an important purpose
in my life.Copy !req
546. Looks like my purpose in your life
has changed.Copy !req
547. Lex.Copy !req
548. You refused me once...Copy !req
549. but this may be the moment
when you'll reconsider my offer.Copy !req
550. I never intended to live forever.Copy !req
551. There's only one life I care about.Copy !req
552. Let my son live.Copy !req
553. In exchange for your soul.Copy !req
554. Lois?Copy !req
555. Satellite and Internet went down
15 minutes ago.Copy !req
556. - Tess?
- Only her abandoned car.Copy !req
557. On her way to Smallville to warn us.Copy !req
558. I think with that planet hurtling
toward Earth, everyone got the warning.Copy !req
559. Clark.Copy !req
560. You think those three prophets
took Tess?Copy !req
561. She left her cell phone under the car seat
with a video message for us to find.Copy !req
562. One of us with X-ray vision, maybe.Copy !req
563. My fellow Americans...Copy !req
564. White House scientific advisers
have assured me...Copy !req
565. that the eclipse you are all undoubtedly
seeing is caused by a meteor.Copy !req
566. We know
prophets use people's darkness...Copy !req
567. to mark with an Omega.
What we don't know is why.Copy !req
568. And Tess quoted one of the prophecies as
saying the markings weren't just spiritual.Copy !req
569. There's a sort of anti-life dark force
that could bring about the Apokolips.Copy !req
570. You mean bringing a giant planet
crashing into ours?Copy !req
571. Exactly like that.Copy !req
572. Maybe the marking has some
unexplainable gravitational pull.Copy !req
573. Too bad anti-life equations
aren't covered in Physics 101.Copy !req
574. I need to figure out a way
to lift the darkness.Copy !req
575. Break whatever's binding these people
to that planet.Copy !req
576. Today definitely tops
Chloe's wall of weird.Copy !req
577. Exactly how many people
are marked?Copy !req
578. More than you wanna know.Copy !req
579. Clark, you inspired the darkness
out of Oliver.Copy !req
580. I can't do that for everyone, Lois.Copy !req
581. If Tess knows how to stop this,
I need to find her.Copy !req
582. Got a shot
of her car's parking camera...Copy !req
583. and the license plate
of whoever took her.Copy !req
584. Our database shows
it's registered to—Copy !req
585. - A company called Preclox?
- Yeah.Copy !req
586. It was founded only six weeks ago.Copy !req
587. According to their bank records,
they have limitless funds.Copy !req
588. Genetic research.Copy !req
589. I only know of one mega-mogul who's
obsessed with genetic engineering.Copy !req
590. Lionel Luthor.Copy !req
591. Who knows he's being tracked
by Tess Mercer.Copy !req
592. Yeah, but the GPS went down
with the satellites.Copy !req
593. This should tell us where he was
15 minutes ago.Copy !req
594. Lois, that's the Luthor mansion.Copy !req
595. But that place burned to the ground.Copy !req
596. Maybe what Lionel's after
is underground.Copy !req
597. The Luthor mansion was built
on a labyrinth of corridors underneath it.Copy !req
598. Lois, no matter what happens—Copy !req
599. Clark, a person that I greatly admire
once told me...Copy !req
600. that when you believe in someone,
it's not for a few minutes or sometimes...Copy !req
601. or just for now. It is forever.Copy !req
602. Now go save the world.Copy !req
603. I'll be fine.Copy !req
604. I call on each and every one of you...Copy !req
605. to stand strong
in the moments to come.Copy !req
606. Our military has a precision plan
to take care of the meteor fragments.Copy !req
607. We will take swift action
in securing the world's safety.Copy !req
608. A general doesn't miss his daughter's
wedding unless called to duty.Copy !req
609. Oh, my God.Copy !req
610. Excuse me.Copy !req
611. Janet, you're covering
the president's visit, right?Copy !req
612. Look, I need you to get a message
to him for me.Copy !req
613. Hmm.Copy !req
614. Look, I grew up in the military.Copy !req
615. That speech has buzz words.
"Precision plan,"swift action."Copy !req
616. They're gonna nuke that thing.Copy !req
617. Only that thing isn't the little meteor
that'll break apart like they think it is.Copy !req
618. It's a planet
and it won't even make a dent.Copy !req
619. But the radioactive fallout
of this missile, it'll kill millions.Copy !req
620. Take it to the Inquisitor.Copy !req
621. I've got a plane to catch
with the president.Copy !req
622. Okay, well, then you tell him
that he can't press the proverbial button.Copy !req
623. Why not?Copy !req
624. The Blur will save us
before it comes to that.Copy !req
625. The Blur? Oh, my God, Lois.Copy !req
626. If you think the president,
his military advisers or anyone...Copy !req
627. is ever gonna take you seriously—?Copy !req
628. I'm sorry. I wouldn't have had to do that
if the world wasn't in jeopardy...Copy !req
629. and you weren't such a bitch.Copy !req
630. Hello, Clark.Copy !req
631. Can't say I love what you've done
with the place.Copy !req
632. Lex.Copy !req
633. You still say it the same way:Copy !req
634. Astonishment...Copy !req
635. mixed with a hint of dread,
yet with a hopeful finish.Copy !req
636. You're alive.Copy !req
637. It seems my father had a—Copy !req
638. A change of heart.Copy !req
639. And I got a second chance at life.Copy !req
640. Where's Tess?Copy !req
641. What have you done with her?Copy !req
642. She's fine.Copy !req
643. I wouldn't worry so much
about my dear little sister.Copy !req
644. You know, I used to think it was our
families that made us who we are.Copy !req
645. Then I hoped it was our friends.Copy !req
646. But if you look at history...Copy !req
647. the great men and women of
the world have always been defined...Copy !req
648. by their enemies.Copy !req
649. You have a second chance.Copy !req
650. You can change all that.Copy !req
651. But that's the thing about memories...Copy !req
652. you can't forget them.Copy !req
653. Like how you were always
that one step ahead of me, Clark.Copy !req
654. No matter how meticulously
I prepared...Copy !req
655. no matter how strategic I was.
If only I'd known I never stood a chance.Copy !req
656. It wasn't a competition.Copy !req
657. Of course it wasn't.Copy !req
658. You were born to be the chosen one.Copy !req
659. You're simply better than us.Copy !req
660. And that always killed you.Copy !req
661. No.Copy !req
662. No, what killed me...Copy !req
663. is that you didn't even want it.Copy !req
664. You fought it. You hid from it.Copy !req
665. I would have taken it...Copy !req
666. and relished it, embraced it.Copy !req
667. My destiny wasn't yours to take.Copy !req
668. I get that now.Copy !req
669. Which is why
I finally embraced my own.Copy !req
670. You and I...Copy !req
671. we will both be great men...Copy !req
672. because of each other.Copy !req
673. We have a destiny together, Clark.Copy !req
674. Only on different sides.Copy !req
675. And I'll always be there to stop you.Copy !req
676. Always.Copy !req
677. Oh, I'm counting on it.Copy !req
678. Our story hasn't been written yet,
Kal-El.Copy !req
679. And every villain
is only as great as his hero.Copy !req
680. But, you see, that all relies on you
saving us from the coming apocalypse.Copy !req
681. You know about Darkseid?Copy !req
682. You really think I just read
the CliffsNotes of the Veritas journals?Copy !req
683. They foretold of a chosen savior...Copy !req
684. the light that will inspire this world
out of darkness.Copy !req
685. You're the light, Clark.Copy !req
686. Only you hold the power within you.Copy !req
687. I'm not so sure that Clark Kent
can save the entire world on his own.Copy !req
688. He can't.Copy !req
689. But we both know who can.Copy !req
690. I'm sorry I couldn't save you, Lex.Copy !req
691. Activate computer monitors.Copy !req
692. Monitors on.Copy !req
693. Systems online.Copy !req
694. The day ofjudgment is upon us.Copy !req
695. We've saved the willing souls...Copy !req
696. from the coming apocalypse
to serve the dark lord.Copy !req
697. Our work is done.Copy !req
698. You can say that again.Copy !req
699. Your mark has been lifted.Copy !req
700. That's impossible.Copy !req
701. Yeah, I got this friend:Copy !req
702. Leather jacket,
blurs faster than a speeding bullet.Copy !req
703. He's pretty good at impossible.Copy !req
704. You were so close
to experiencing the rapture...Copy !req
705. known only to those
who will be serving our lord...Copy !req
706. for eternity
while all the others perish.Copy !req
707. Do you really think you possess...Copy !req
708. the power to vanquish our lord
from the souls of those he saved?Copy !req
709. No.Copy !req
710. But I got friends in high places.Copy !req
711. You're not authorized to go in there.Copy !req
712. I must have forgotten my hall pass.Copy !req
713. I was just going to the bathroom.Copy !req
714. It's that way.Copy !req
715. Okay. They said that they would brief us
in two minutes.Copy !req
716. It's now been 15 and I really need—Copy !req
717. Do you see that giant molten orb
out there?Copy !req
718. Now, whatever story they told you...Copy !req
719. it's crashing into the planet.Copy !req
720. You can see it with your own eyes.Copy !req
721. Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey!Copy !req
722. I need a few minutes of your time.Copy !req
723. - I'm sorry, sir.
- No. Wait.Copy !req
724. I have information you need to know.Copy !req
725. I don't know how you got on
this plane, lady...Copy !req
726. but you're stepping
so far out of your position.Copy !req
727. All that matters is the truth and you
don't have it. Please, Mr. Secretary.Copy !req
728. I have proof that the meteor
that you're about to nuke...Copy !req
729. is much larger than you realize
with a density that will result...Copy !req
730. in you spewing nuclear fallout
over the hemisphere...Copy !req
731. that could take out
millions of people.Copy !req
732. But you already know that, don't you?Copy !req
733. You all realize
you're gonna be taking out...Copy !req
734. a third of the Earth's population,
and you're not gonna warn them?Copy !req
735. We can't spread panic.Copy !req
736. It will only aggravate
an already impossible situation.Copy !req
737. And what about your families?Copy !req
738. And the president?Copy !req
739. - Where are we gonna—?
- To a secure bunker.Copy !req
740. The casualties are nothing
compared to losing the entire planet.Copy !req
741. We don't have a choice.Copy !req
742. Now, if you'll excuse us—Copy !req
743. No, wait.Copy !req
744. You do have a choice. Heroes.Copy !req
745. One who will stop this
before you unleash your nukes.Copy !req
746. I know some deeply disturbed brass
have rounded them up...Copy !req
747. and tried to dirty their names,
but the people had their day.Copy !req
748. And they gave our heroes a chance
to prove themselves.Copy !req
749. You owe the people...Copy !req
750. a chance to see that their faith
was worth something.Copy !req
751. The world is in crisis.Copy !req
752. This is not a time
for your little hero crusade, Miss—?Copy !req
753. Lane.
This is exactly the time for my hero.Copy !req
754. He will be here.
He will save us. I promise.Copy !req
755. I know you wanna see
your families again.Copy !req
756. You just need to give our heroes
a chance.Copy !req
757. Your heroes have five minutes.Copy !req
758. The last son of Jor-El.Copy !req
759. Darkseid.Copy !req
760. My father sent me here
to protect this planet.Copy !req
761. And I will fight you to my last breath.Copy !req
762. There must be a part of you...Copy !req
763. that's disgusted by how easily
your people fell to me.Copy !req
764. They may not be perfect,
but I believe in the darkest soul...Copy !req
765. there's always hope.Copy !req
766. People want to believe
in something greater...Copy !req
767. and it may be easier to hate...Copy !req
768. but it's stronger to love.Copy !req
769. Is it?Copy !req
770. Eons have passed
since I came face-to-face with a force...Copy !req
771. that could possibly tip the balance
to the light.Copy !req
772. You are the light.Copy !req
773. You cast out the darkness
from Oliver Queen...Copy !req
774. and you will obliterate my darkness
from the rest of the world...Copy !req
775. if you are not stopped.Copy !req
776. You will surrender to me.Copy !req
777. You will lose your soul.Copy !req
778. I will annihilate you.Copy !req
779. Clark, you're gonna have to let
Jor-El guide you from here on out.Copy !req
780. joR-EL: You have always had the power
within you, my son.Copy !req
781. These were my trials.Copy !req
782. Your final trial is upon you, my son.Copy !req
783. You are ready.Copy !req
784. Seize your destiny.Copy !req
785. Something told me
that I'd find you here.Copy !req
786. I combed the lab
and I saw what happened.Copy !req
787. Long time, sis.Copy !req

did most of the abusing.Copy !req

that he is one day humbled...Copy !req
826. by the feats of his son.Copy !req
827. But it is your soul, Kal-El,
of which I am most proud.Copy !req
828. You, and you alone,
possess the courage...Copy !req
829. the determination
and the compassion...Copy !req
830. that will be required of you
to lift the darkness from the Earth.Copy !req
831. I ask you to remember one thing.Copy !req
