1. He's never gonna tell me, is he?Copy !req
2. - I'm the Blur. You're still okay with that?
Are you kidding me?Copy !req
3. What took you so long?Copy !req
4. - Daddy.
- General Lane.Copy !req
5. I'm the senior military adviser on a
new bill. The Vigilante Registration Act.Copy !req
6. You're searching for enemies
where they don't exist.Copy !req
7. As soon as you're threatened,
everyone else's rights go out the window?Copy !req
8. Signal for the Suicide Squad
led by Rick Flag.Copy !req
9. - To him, you're freedom fighters.
America has turned against us.Copy !req
10. More superheroes
are coming over to my side.Copy !req
11. - I am Green Arrow.
What inspired you?Copy !req
12. Damn right I'm a hero.
And I'm not doing it alone.Copy !req
13. My name's Arthur Curry.
Perimeter breached.Copy !req
14. Proceeding to target.Copy !req
15. Don't put your faith
in this hero menace.Copy !req
16. Liberty, freedom, equality.Copy !req
17. These are the values
that we have been charged with defending.Copy !req
18. And never in the history
of this country...Copy !req
19. have these principles
been so threatened as they are today.Copy !req
20. With all due respect, Slade, our troops
have worked hard to secure peace.Copy !req
21. The threat is within.Copy !req
22. Creeping up on a sleeping nation.Copy !req
23. Gentlemen, every person
under our protection lies in wait...Copy !req
24. for that leader
that will rescue them from poverty...Copy !req
25. from violence, even from sadness.Copy !req
26. They will hail him as their new hero.Copy !req
27. Heroes like Joseph Stalin...Copy !req
28. Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein.Copy !req
29. Now, in the hearts of their countrymen,
these men rose as saviors...Copy !req
30. only turning into tyrants once they had
secured the trust of their nation.Copy !req
31. You're not suggesting a coup?Copy !req
32. The trust of the American people...Copy !req
33. doesn't lie in the Oval Office anymore,
admiral...Copy !req
34. but in a new breed of hero.Copy !req
35. Every year, this league grows
while the nation turns a blind eye.Copy !req
36. Two weeks ago,
the bombing of anti-vigilante office...Copy !req
37. was an open act of terrorism.Copy !req
38. Which is why
the president appointed me...Copy !req
39. to oversee
the Vigilante Registration Act.Copy !req
40. Since the VRA came into effect...Copy !req
41. even known offenders
haven't agreed to sign up.Copy !req
42. Well, that is about to change.Copy !req
43. Make sure everyone is out.Copy !req
44. Hurry.Copy !req
45. Sir, we have a breach
at Poseidon 34-59.Copy !req
46. Gentlemen, even as we speak,
it looks like we've fallen...Copy !req
47. under another vigilante assault...Copy !req
48. this time on one
of our own installations.Copy !req
49. It's time we took these heroes
under our control...Copy !req
50. and proved who is really fighting
for truth, justice and the American way.Copy !req
51. It appears this Suicide Squad
used a subdermal fluorescer...Copy !req
52. with just enough Blue Kryptonite
to penetrate the skin...Copy !req
53. but not impact your powers...Copy !req
54. or limit
your mysterious globetrotting.Copy !req
55. Secret meetings with your cousin
around the world? Not like you, Clark.Copy !req
56. Nothing I can't handle. You could've
warned me this would sting.Copy !req
57. He'll give you a lollipop
when you're done.Copy !req
58. Thought we all agreed I was sequestered
from Watchtower. What's with the 911?Copy !req
59. Emil found a way
to get the Suicide Squad's tags out.Copy !req
60. - I assume you were careful coming in.
- Careful doesn't even cut it.Copy !req
61. Been throwing my best moves
to avoid the public eye to get up here.Copy !req
62. Well, the Registration Act's
not gonna make it any easier.Copy !req
63. As much as I hate to admit it,
Flag saw this thing coming.Copy !req
64. His guerrilla tactics,
they don't seem so crazy now, do they?Copy !req
65. At least someone's fighting back
against VRA.Copy !req
66. The problem is,
no one knows they exist.Copy !req
67. We're taking the heat. The government
thinks we're the ones retaliating.Copy !req
68. After last night, they're right.Copy !req
69. We think AC set off an explosion
at an offshore oil rig.Copy !req
70. Not first time he's gone Che Guevara
to protect the big blue. Let's face it.Copy !req
71. Now that the VRA's got us
looking over our shoulders...Copy !req
72. team communication's gone
from full bars to no signal.Copy !req
73. Whatever he's up to...Copy !req
74. he's only feeding the fear
that the government has about us.Copy !req
75. - We need to prove we're the good guys.
- Yeah, no, great.Copy !req
76. I wish things were kittens
and rainbows too, Clark.Copy !req
77. Thanks to Godfrey, the McCarthy
of the microphone, people don't trust us.Copy !req
78. Now, the VRA's propaganda machine
is in full swing.Copy !req
79. Sometimes, Clark,
words are the greatest weapon.Copy !req
80. Can't say that I blame them.Copy !req
81. We came in
and took the law into our hands.Copy !req
82. People need to believe in this country
and the systems that have been here.Copy !req
83. - I do.
- Really? Oh, well, hey, you know what?Copy !req
84. That's a good idea. Why don't you
march on in there and go and sign up?Copy !req
85. Maybe it's time.Copy !req
86. Though the government has its eyes set
on the Blur more than anyone else.Copy !req
87. Nothing would prove we're on the same
side more than the Blur registering.Copy !req
88. Lady Liberty may have her arms
wide open, but not for a hug.Copy !req
89. Look, the longer we hide, the more
it looks like we have a reason to.Copy !req
90. If no one registers,
they'll come after us all.Copy !req
91. Well, I guess it's time for me
to fulfill my patriotic duty.Copy !req
92. No need to compromise your identity
when I already have.Copy !req
93. Now, you go reign in Flipper.Copy !req
94. I'll find what they have
planned for us...Copy !req
95. when we sign our lives over
to good old Uncle Sam.Copy !req
96. - I miss you too, Clark.
Thanks, Scarlet.Copy !req
97. Since the passing of the registration bill,
no vigilante has yet to step forward...Copy !req
98. raising public suspicions
until today.Copy !req
99. Who is the mysterious patriot
in our midst?Copy !req
100. Midmorning weather...
Lois.Copy !req
101. Psst.Copy !req
102. Let me guess, you woke up feeling odd
with fang marks on your neck?Copy !req
103. No. Took three cars,
stairs and a body double to get me here.Copy !req
104. So quick, vigilante signing.
Are you covering that?Copy !req
105. - Wouldn't miss it for the world.
- Great.Copy !req
106. I have serious concerns about
the legitimacy of this mystery hero.Copy !req
107. Who would be stupid enough
to stand up and register?Copy !req
108. Me.Copy !req
109. Are you out of your mind?Copy !req
110. The VRA's a steaming pile
of Spanish lnquisitions...Copy !req
111. served up
with a side of fear and loathing.Copy !req
112. Lois, why don't you say
what you really feel about this?Copy !req
113. We have to find out what happens
when someone registers.Copy !req
114. I get it.Copy !req
115. Somebody needs to be the hero
and you're the only—Copy !req
116. Stick your foot in your mouth
and you might lose a shoe.Copy !req
117. I wasn't first to volunteer for Operation
Guinea Pig, your boyfriend was. Okay?Copy !req
118. So I may be taking the plunge,
but I talked Clark off the ledge.Copy !req
119. He never told me he was even thinking
about registering.Copy !req
120. Oh. You know, I'm sure he was going to.Copy !req
121. Really? When?
With his one phone call?Copy !req
122. Lois, just because you're registered,
that doesn't mean you're under arrest.Copy !req
123. Who knows what it means?Copy !req
124. I thought Clark and I were finally driving
on the honest relationship road, then:Copy !req
125. Bam. Blindsided.Copy !req
126. So what?
He'll ask my opinion what tie to wear...Copy !req
127. not on whether
to show the world his real work uniform?Copy !req
128. I don't think Clark
purposely left you out.Copy !req
129. That's even worse.Copy !req
130. It slips his mind
to mention something this big to me...Copy !req
131. but he'll discuss it with you...Copy !req
132. and with other people.Copy !req
133. Unbelievable.Copy !req
134. Look, we both know Clark has this
overdeveloped sense of responsibility.Copy !req
135. Agreed? That's why if something
goes south with my registration...Copy !req
136. we can't let Clark try to fix it on his own.
For his sake, for everyone else's.Copy !req
137. The world needs you, Lois.Copy !req
138. AC, we need to talk.Copy !req
139. I'm past talking, Clark.
I've got greater responsibilities now.Copy !req
140. Blowing up oil rigs? Is that responsible?Copy !req
141. Check your sources.Copy !req
142. I didn't hurt anyone.
Don't make me start now.Copy !req
143. Who are you working with?Copy !req
144. You think because I'm not checking in
at the tree house I've gone rogue?Copy !req
145. Nice trust.Copy !req
146. You're not going anywhere.Copy !req
147. Oh, and if you thought
I was working solo...Copy !req
148. You haven't met his wife.Copy !req
149. Paints a pretty scary picture,
doesn't it?Copy !req
150. Certainly gives me a new perspective.Copy !req
151. - Lois—
- Lane. Sam Lane's daughter.Copy !req
152. I always do my homework.
Why do you think I gave you clearance?Copy !req
153. Damn. Here I was thinking I got in here
on my wit and charm.Copy !req
154. I see you're not just a Lane in name
but attitude as well.Copy !req
155. My dad always said I was made
of more brass than his medals.Copy !req
156. General, I brought something for you.Copy !req
157. Whoa, I see that I am not the only one
who does their homework.Copy !req
158. Fine bourbon and Cuban Cohibas,
my favorite.Copy !req
159. American made and American won.Copy !req
160. I don't care what they say.
That victory will be ours soon enough.Copy !req
161. Spoken like a true daughter
of the red, white and blue.Copy !req
162. Speaking of the red, white, and blue...Copy !req
163. what's really up with the VRA?Copy !req
164. Your father worked
on the Registration Act, Miss Lane.Copy !req
165. I'm not sure what more I can tell you.Copy !req
166. It's only since your command
that someone volunteered to sign up.Copy !req
167. How exactly is that gonna happen?Copy !req
168. They'll simply sign
a declaration of intent...Copy !req
169. to act only
at the government's behest.Copy !req
170. United we stand, right, Ms. Lane?Copy !req
171. As it stands now, vigilantes
do not represent the will of the people.Copy !req
172. And anyone espousing different
merely supports their cause.Copy !req
173. Which is exactly why I asked
for the VRA assignment.Copy !req
174. Who better to give the military
a fair shake than a brat?Copy !req
175. One who has written
most of her paper's pro-Blur articles.Copy !req
176. I guess my name isn't the only reason
you agreed to this one on one.Copy !req
177. You are not playing for your team
the way you should be, Miss Lane.Copy !req
178. We all must do our part.Copy !req
179. Some people might say that's
what drives the vigilantes to action.Copy !req
180. Well,
then they'll simply step forward...Copy !req
181. and suit up with the good guys,
won't they?Copy !req
182. Here's to the good guys.Copy !req
183. Amen.Copy !req
184. There must be something around here
to cut this.Copy !req
185. Your name got you in,
but it won't get you out of trouble.Copy !req
186. Show me your hand.Copy !req
187. Now.Copy !req
188. I just thought you might like a light.Copy !req
189. I apologize.Copy !req
190. These vigilantes have got me suspicious
of everyone.Copy !req
191. No worries.Copy !req
192. These days, you just don't know
who you can trust, right?Copy !req
193. Considering your activist streak,
I never saw you settling down.Copy !req
194. It was his passion and conviction
that drew me to him.Copy !req
195. They're qualities we share
and on which we've built a partnership.Copy !req
196. To the outside world,
your passion looks like terrorism.Copy !req
197. Do you really want people to see us
as scared, hunted victims?Copy !req
198. We can't stop the government
from targeting us...Copy !req
199. but we can show them
we're not gonna take it.Copy !req
200. Show you're the criminals
they fear you are?Copy !req
201. And be the heroes
people hope we are.Copy !req
202. Who was your hero, Clark?Copy !req
203. Everybody has one.Copy !req
204. I'll never forget the day
I read about mine.Copy !req
205. This little lady named Lucy Burns
who just wanted to vote like her father.Copy !req
206. But she didn't sit back
and expect people to do the right thing.Copy !req
207. Because you know what? They didn't.Copy !req
208. It wasn't until she refused food
and endured the Night of Terror.Copy !req
209. That's when people decided
to do the right thing.Copy !req
210. Victories aren't won by spectators...Copy !req
211. but by fighters.Copy !req
212. Like me and Mera.Copy !req
213. What are you doing to fight for us?Copy !req
214. We shouldn't be fighting anyone,
especially the government.Copy !req
215. We should be protecting people.Copy !req
216. And right now we are the ones
who need protection the most.Copy !req
217. Clark, that rig we took out
wasn't drilling for oil.Copy !req
218. Neither are the ones the government's
building around the country.Copy !req
219. What are they?Copy !req
220. High-tech holding facilities
deep below the earth.Copy !req
221. And they're building them for us.Copy !req
222. Lois, would you like
to explain this to me?Copy !req
223. I took it off your desktop. It suspiciously
looks like an article on the VRA...Copy !req
224. which I expressly said
you are not to write.Copy !req
225. Your father worked on the bill, Lois.
It's a conflict of interest.Copy !req
226. Let's just say something is rotten
in the military state of Metropolis...Copy !req
227. and I need to make sure
certain people know about it.Copy !req
228. Look, I know that you like
to break a story before anybody else...Copy !req
229. but your concern seems personal.Copy !req
230. Okay, I'm actually gonna level with you
on this one, Tess.Copy !req
231. I just found out that the mystery hero
registering is Oliver.Copy !req
232. Is Clark working with you on this?Copy !req
233. - Why would he be?
- You share a lot of bylines.Copy !req
234. - So you're alone on this one.
- Looks like it.Copy !req
235. Clark's got jury duty.Copy !req
236. Jury duty?Copy !req
237. I tried to tell him how to get out.Copy !req
238. You know Clark, always serving the people
and fulfilling his civic obligation.Copy !req
239. Yeah. He is dedicated that way.Copy !req
240. What is your scoop on the VRA?Copy !req
241. Despite what they say, I think the VRA's
going a little less above board...Copy !req
242. and a lot more waterboard.Copy !req
243. Torture?Copy !req
244. Meet General Slade Wilson,
put in charge of executing the VRA.Copy !req
245. Emphasis on "execute."Copy !req
246. For years, rumors of war crimes
followed him, never any charges.Copy !req
247. He continued to move up the ranks.Copy !req
248. Because he was effective.
Now he's targeting heroes.Copy !req
249. It's worse. If I've got it right,
he's building prisons.Copy !req
250. And Oliver's about to sign up
for this summer internment camp?Copy !req
251. Here he is. Here he is.
Here we go.Copy !req
252. Today we take our first step
toward a new partnership.Copy !req
253. There will no longer be law
and outlaw.Copy !req
254. We will be one people, united,
working toward one goal:Copy !req
255. the common good.Copy !req
256. Oliver Queen's registration
marks a new day for this country...Copy !req
257. and the end of vigilantes
working outside the law.Copy !req
258. Do you know any others
who are registering in the VRA?Copy !req
259. Oliver. No.Copy !req
260. They're going to the helipad.Copy !req
261. You own this building.
Don't let that helicopter take off.Copy !req
262. Lois, I can't.Copy !req
263. They have military clearance.Copy !req
264. Oliver's gone.Copy !req
265. I need to know where Clark is.Copy !req
266. I have no idea.Copy !req
267. - Who...?
- Oliver's in trouble. Clark could be too.Copy !req
268. I need to know how to find them.Copy !req
269. Apparently.Copy !req
270. But I don't know why you're asking me.Copy !req
271. Listen Dr. Know-Nothing, I have tried
to reach Clark with zero results.Copy !req
272. He's mentioned your name
and he's never had a yearly check-up.Copy !req
273. Listen, just— Unh!Copy !req
274. I know
that you're in his superhero club.Copy !req
275. Unless you want a sudden tracheotomy,
you will tell me where he is ASAP.Copy !req
276. He went to find AC in Miami.
That's the last I heard.Copy !req
277. Now, for the record,
you know I was bluffing, right?Copy !req
278. Florida in winter.Copy !req
279. Who doesn't love to snowbird?Copy !req
280. Seismic activity?Copy !req
281. AC:
That's how Mera found the place.Copy !req
282. She's pretty amazing.
Smart, passionate, fiery.Copy !req
283. Helped me understand
my true origins.Copy !req
284. Sounds like
you went off the high dive.Copy !req
285. I'm so much more with her
than I ever was solo.Copy !req
286. You don't feel guilty
putting her in danger?Copy !req
287. Mera can hold her own.Copy !req
288. If you're worried about someone
a little less super-powered...Copy !req
289. Mera helped me realize...Copy !req
290. that standing on the sidelines
isn't the same as being in the game.Copy !req
291. - I recognize this structure.
- Looks like the facilities of LuthorCorp...Copy !req
292. when Lex was trying to build his zoo
with the super-powered.Copy !req
293. It couldn't be LuthorCorp.
Tess and Oliver would know about it.Copy !req
294. Looks like Uncle Sam raided
the patent offices for his own end.Copy !req
295. Mera, are you reading us?Copy !req
296. Barely can hear you.Copy !req
297. Just heard from Watchtower.
There's news.Copy !req
298. You're breaking up.Copy !req
299. Watchtower found eight locations
with similar seismic readings.Copy !req
300. You need to check them right away.Copy !req
301. Oliver's been taken off the grid.Copy !req
302. If we split up, we can cover
the facility faster.Copy !req
303. They've taken one of ours.Copy !req
304. Let's go get him back.Copy !req
305. Almost done, Mr. Queen.Copy !req
306. So, what's with
your secret workout room here, huh?Copy !req
307. Is this a secret tryout for the NFL?Copy !req
308. You're strong and extremely agile
with coordination that's off the charts.Copy !req
309. I'm human.Copy !req
310. Well, I commend your performance.Copy !req
311. We'd love to have someone
with your gifts serve our country.Copy !req
312. Help us bring in
your less cooperative cohorts.Copy !req
313. Look, I'll be your poster boy.Copy !req
314. I'll say your words and I'll be your face,
but it ends with me, understand?Copy !req
315. Now, there are people out there
who wanna believe in you.Copy !req
316. They wanna believe in this country.Copy !req
317. Give them the chance to prove that,
to be the heroes we all need.Copy !req
318. You got nerve, I like that, but your
draft card wasn't a two-for-one special.Copy !req
319. Please allow me to make
a more convincing argument.Copy !req
320. Look who skipped
right out of the forest.Copy !req
321. Doe-eyed Bambi searching...Copy !req
322. You're Lois Lane.Copy !req
323. Wow.Copy !req
324. Brazen much?Copy !req
325. I am Mera, wife of Orin,
future king of the seven seas.Copy !req
326. The one you call Arthur Curry.Copy !req
327. AC got married?Copy !req
328. Aren't you just full of reveals?Copy !req
329. Orin is finally embracing his destiny
and leading his people.Copy !req
330. Hang on. "His people"?
Like, down under and not Australia?Copy !req
331. Anyway, I need to find Clark.Copy !req
332. Certainly you're not a partner
in his endeavors.Copy !req
333. Some get a ring on their finger...Copy !req
334. and everyone else's relationship
just doesn't cut it.Copy !req
335. Spoken like one who can never
be satisfied by a man of her own kind.Copy !req
336. You desire those
who are extraordinary.Copy !req
337. First Orin, then Oliver, now Clark.Copy !req
338. You've got to be kidding me.Copy !req
339. Little Mermaid, your prince and I dated
for, like, a day.Copy !req
340. It's understandable that you would seek
a superior companion.Copy !req
341. I'm surprised that powerful men would
choose someone of lesser ability.Copy !req
342. Listen, squid lips.Copy !req
343. You don't know anything about me
or Clark.Copy !req
344. I know you came here
looking for Clark.Copy !req
345. You're in the dark,
protected but not included.Copy !req
346. Do you really want
the harsh light of truth?Copy !req
347. Lois? What are you doing here?Copy !req
348. Since you've apparently forsaken
modern communication technology...Copy !req
349. I'm hand-delivering an SOS.Copy !req
350. About Oliver. I know he's been taken.Copy !req
351. What?
How did you know that already?Copy !req
352. I ran some tests on the alloy
that you found and...Copy !req
353. Lois.Copy !req
354. Hi.Copy !req
355. Okay, you know how I hate being all
emo relationship chick?Copy !req
356. I can't get you,
but Tess can Skype with you?Copy !req
357. - This isn't a social call.
- And I am?Copy !req
358. We practically share a desk chair,
but I'm still not the real work-wife.Copy !req
359. Sorry to interrupt
the Real Housewives of Metropolis...Copy !req
360. but there's something you need know
about this alloy.Copy !req
361. Clark, it can change properties.Copy !req
362. It's like some sort
of multi-functional weaponry.Copy !req
363. The government is preparing
for anything that comes its way.Copy !req
364. Including Orin.
He should have been back by now.Copy !req
365. He could be at any of the facilities
he was checking out.Copy !req
366. If he ended up in one of Slade's nets,
I might know how to find him.Copy !req
367. It's a design blueprint for the prisons.Copy !req
368. And according to this, there is only
one facility that is operational.Copy !req
369. It's in Alaska.Copy !req
370. Please tell me
you're not the rescue party.Copy !req
371. They must have tracked me in.Copy !req
372. - Oh.
- I should have been more stealth.Copy !req
373. You know about our abilities?Copy !req
374. Always be prepared. You came at us
through the ocean like a torpedo.Copy !req
375. It didn't take much to figure out
where your mutated abilities come from.Copy !req
376. A little heat and you dry right up,
don't you?Copy !req
377. Something tells me White House didn't
get the memo on your glacial Gitmo.Copy !req
378. Don't ask, don't tell.Copy !req
379. I wouldn't be too embarrassed.Copy !req
380. You two are just the first in a whole host
of vigilantes to be taken on a play.Copy !req
381. With the right encouragement,
I'm sure you will help us bring them in.Copy !req
382. You're gonna need a bigger cage.Copy !req
383. I wouldn't worry about that.Copy !req
384. See, you all have some great strength,
but one equally great flaw.Copy !req
385. No, you are almost too easy.Copy !req
386. Damaged, lonely, isolated.Copy !req
387. A hero with no actual powers.Copy !req
388. Do you resent them?Copy !req
389. Actually, you're taking honors right now,
jackass.Copy !req
390. Unlike the half-dolphin over there...Copy !req
391. I'll bet you hate
the freezing cold depths of the ocean.Copy !req
392. Intruder alert.Copy !req
393. Partial power interruption.Copy !req
394. Intruder alert.Copy !req
395. Partial power interruption.Copy !req
396. Computer override initiated.Copy !req
397. Terminal breach measures activated.Copy !req
398. Self-destruct in two minutes.Copy !req
399. - You're up, gill boy.
- Mera!Copy !req
400. Power systems overload.Copy !req
401. Core breach eminent.Copy !req
402. Core critical.Copy !req
403. We gotta go, now.Copy !req
404. How long can you hold your breath?Copy !req
405. Core critical.Copy !req
406. Slade.Copy !req
407. Self-destruct in 90 seconds.Copy !req
408. I'm not gonna let you continue
destroying people's faith in justice.Copy !req
409. Made of steel or just a man?Copy !req
410. It can't be both.Copy !req
411. Self-destruct in 60 seconds.Copy !req
412. So it is you.Copy !req
413. What are you doing?
I need to get you out of here.Copy !req
414. This whole place was built
for the expressed purpose...Copy !req
415. of containing your kind.Copy !req
416. Self-destruct, 40 seconds.Copy !req
417. Your weakness
was the hardest to learn.Copy !req
418. - You see, you're not above the law.
- Self-destruct, 30 seconds.Copy !req
419. You're not even above me.Copy !req
420. How can you be so determined
seeing us as the enemy...Copy !req
421. instead of working with us?Copy !req
422. Okay, let me save you.
You'll never get out.Copy !req
423. I know, but it's worth it.Copy !req
424. To destroy the single greatest threat
to democracy.Copy !req
425. No civilian in this country
should be more powerful than the law.Copy !req
426. That's what keeps the order,
it's what keeps us strong.Copy !req
427. Self-destruct in 15 seconds.Copy !req
428. Shut it down. Let me help you.Copy !req
429. I'd rather die for my country than
be saved by an abomination like you.Copy !req
430. Self-destruct in 10 seconds.Copy !req
431. Nine, eight, seven, six, five...Copy !req
432. You asked me a question,
I guess you'll get your answer.Copy !req
433. - Two, one...
- I am man and steel.Copy !req
434. zero.Copy !req
435. AC: Glad you didn't find your Davy Jones
down there after that explosion.Copy !req
436. I know how much you love the water.Copy !req
437. But I couldn't be happier
to have my feet on ground.Copy !req
438. Well, just as well. Let's be honest,
underwater, you look like a clown fish.Copy !req
439. I guess I should thank you
for uncovering those holding cells.Copy !req
440. Part of me wishes
I could have kept on believing...Copy !req
441. in everything I was raised
to believe in.Copy !req
442. Don't let an overzealous war hawk
shake your faith in people, Clark.Copy !req
443. Your endless optimism is the one thing
I actually like about you.Copy !req
444. Did you learn that vocabulary
from Mera?Copy !req
445. Seriously, though,
you made a good point.Copy !req
446. Digging in our heels and being as extreme
as Slade makes us no better than them.Copy !req
447. I'm sorry they got
what they wanted out of the VRA.Copy !req
448. How's that?Copy !req
449. We didn't exactly rush to sign up,
but we got scared.Copy !req
450. We stopped communicating,
we stopped trusting each other.Copy !req
451. There's no way we can beat this
if we splinter.Copy !req
452. I may not trust the commandos
in Washington...Copy !req
453. but I trust you, Clark.Copy !req
454. So we'll do it your way.Copy !req
455. Lead by example, not by resistance.Copy !req
456. I think you have another battle
brewing on the home front, though.Copy !req
457. I thought if I told Lois my secret,
everything would fall into place.Copy !req
458. I guess I've kept her on the outside.Copy !req
459. The away games don't matter
unless you win the ones at home too...Copy !req
460. which you definitely can't do
if you refuse to have a co-captain.Copy !req
461. What I'm saying is...Copy !req
462. if anyone can handle you
and what you do, it's Lois.Copy !req
463. But you can't bring her on the team
and keep her benched.Copy !req
464. The question is, can you handle that?Copy !req
465. You do carry a lot of baggage.Copy !req
466. Seriously, don't make me take
my hair dryer out and shrivel you.Copy !req
467. Perhaps I was too hasty
in my judgment of you, Lois Lane.Copy !req
468. You think? Because we didn't just
get off on the wrong fin.Copy !req
469. I stand by what I said before.Copy !req
470. You're not like us, not like Clark,
but you are what he needs.Copy !req
471. You treat Clark not as your superior,
but as an equal.Copy !req
472. And insist that he do the same.Copy !req
473. Thanks.Copy !req
474. You'll make a good partner
for him, Lois.Copy !req
475. In your own way.Copy !req
476. If he lets me.Copy !req
477. It took months and more than
just a few water blasts to the head...Copy !req
478. for Orin to let me stand with him,
not just beside him.Copy !req
479. Give Clark time.Copy !req
480. AC:
I hate to break up the party.Copy !req
481. We need to catch the current.Copy !req
482. I thought Orin was exaggerating, Clark.Copy !req
483. Everything he said about you is true.Copy !req
484. Even when the tide is turning...Copy !req
485. you work hard to bring change
by delivering justice, not bombs...Copy !req
486. as a patriot to the country,
not just the cause.Copy !req
487. That's our Boy Scout.Copy !req
488. All right, wave runners. Next time
you're in town, be sure to swim by.Copy !req
489. Aye, aye, captain.Copy !req
490. We'll be seeing you.Copy !req
491. Thanks.Copy !req
492. In case I forgot to mention it, I'm really glad
I only booked a one-way to Miami.Copy !req
493. Your arms are a lot better
than some seat in coach.Copy !req
494. You shouldn't have had to fly
all the way to Florida just to find me.Copy !req
495. Don't sweat it.Copy !req
496. Those mileage points needed
to be used up anyway.Copy !req
497. You were right to be upset.Copy !req
498. I've been running around
acting like it's just me...Copy !req
499. instead of us.Copy !req
500. The truth is, I rely on you
more than anyone else.Copy !req
501. I trust you to know parts of me
that I don't even trust myself.Copy !req
502. That's why you're the only person I told
about the darkness I've tried to fight...Copy !req
503. and failed.Copy !req
504. I know.Copy !req
505. It's just when you look
at AC and Mera...Copy !req
506. how they work together,
how alike they are...Copy !req
507. it kind of makes you wonder...Copy !req
508. if we'll ever be like that.Copy !req
509. - I mean, you gotta admit, I'm—
- Everything that I'm not?Copy !req
510. Lois, that's why it works.Copy !req
511. Two pieces may fit,
but if they're not from the same puzzle...Copy !req
512. it might end up like a Picasso.Copy !req
513. But does that matter?Copy !req
514. Depends.Copy !req
515. When you went off
to go and save the world...Copy !req
516. I remember
what my mom looked like...Copy !req
517. every time my dad
left on deployment.Copy !req
518. And it was the hardest thing
she ever had to do, but she—Copy !req
519. She remained stoic
until that door closed.Copy !req
520. Because she knew that was how she helped
my dad do what he had to do.Copy !req
521. Because they were in it together,
no matter what.Copy !req
522. And so am l.Copy !req
523. But I'm not the only one.Copy !req
524. You didn't tell anyone
about the darkness because...Copy !req
525. you think you're supposed
to be invincible, right?Copy !req
526. And it terrifies you that you're not.Copy !req
527. Lois, how am I suppose
to protect people, protect you...Copy !req
528. if I can't even protect myself
from the darkness?Copy !req
529. By not trying to do it alone.Copy !req
530. We're in this together now.Copy !req
531. All of us.Copy !req
532. And the team needs to know
the bigger war we're fighting.Copy !req
533. Wow.Copy !req
534. Welcome to Watchtower.Copy !req
535. The official headquarters
of the home team.Copy !req
536. Which you are clearly on now.Copy !req
537. Finally.Copy !req
538. Is that a Comsat hookup?Copy !req
539. I take back that whole work-wife thing.
Your satellite trumps my cell phone.Copy !req
540. Forget it.Copy !req
541. From now on,
mi Comsat es su Comsat.Copy !req
542. Thanks.Copy !req
543. Clark, I got your message. Lois, hey.Copy !req
544. What's going on?Copy !req
545. Um...Copy !req
546. We all know
what the government was up to...Copy !req
547. but those prisons were part
of a much bigger threat.Copy !req
548. Hate crimes are up.Copy !req
549. People like Slade
are getting more control.Copy !req
550. And Godfrey's anti-vigilante message,
it's reaching more ears than ever before...Copy !req
551. and I don't think it's a coincidence.Copy !req
552. Sadly, Clark, there's no mystery
to human fear and hatred.Copy !req
553. This time, there might be.Copy !req
554. There's something
behind the darkness.Copy !req
555. Something that hero haters like Slade
don't know is affecting them.Copy !req
556. When I sent the Kandorians away
through the portal, in space...Copy !req
557. I opened a door for something
to come to Earth.Copy !req
558. Are you telling me that out of all
the intergalactic bad boys we've faced...Copy !req
559. this one's actually worse?Copy !req
560. This is much worse.
We can't even see it to fight it.Copy !req
561. This thing is like an evil
that's spreading over the Earth.Copy !req
562. It preys upon the dark side
that we have.Copy !req
563. It feeds on our doubts, our fears,
and our distrust.Copy !req
564. I'd say from where I'm standing,
it's already on the winning side.Copy !req
565. I think it even infected Slade.Copy !req
566. Just before the facility exploded,
I saw something on Slade's skull:Copy !req
567. the omega symbol.Copy !req
568. It was like it was branded there,
almost like the mark—Copy !req
569. Of the beast in Revelations.Copy !req
570. Which would explain
why he veered so far off his orders.Copy !req
571. You don't think Slade's the only pledge
to the Alpha Omega Die fraternity.Copy !req
572. I think the omega's a sign
of corruption.Copy !req
573. A mark that the darkness
has fully taken over someone.Copy !req
574. Didn't Kara say that a person
had to be open to the darkness?Copy !req
575. That it can't infect anyone
of pure heart?Copy !req
576. And which one of us
doesn't have that weakness?Copy !req
577. A hidden hatred or fear
that this thing couldn't prey upon?Copy !req
578. So basically,
this thing doesn't have to do anything.Copy !req
579. It just waits
for everybody's weaknesses...Copy !req
580. and then we destroy ourselves.Copy !req
581. If we can't stop it...Copy !req
582. the darkness will infect every person
on this planet.Copy !req
