1. Previously on
Superman & Lois...
Copy !req
2. Your mom wanted us
to move to Smallville.
Copy !req
3. It's a simpler life.
Copy !req
4. What does Morgan Edge
want with Smallville?
Copy !req
5. He's retrofitting the coal mines.
Copy !req
6. He's gonna put
a lot of folks back to work around here.
Copy !req
7. That ship brought me to Earth.
I have certain powers.
Copy !req
8. You're saying you're Superman?
Copy !req
9. - That's my girlfriend!
- Back off!
Copy !req
10. I felt something come over me.
Copy !req
11. You can't see through lead.
Copy !req
12. The only remnants
of your real home, kryptonite.
Copy !req
13. I'll start the upgrades to your
armor right away, Captain Luthor.
Copy !req
14. What can you say about
leaving a place you loved?
Copy !req
15. All the memories...
Copy !req
16. all the experiences...
Copy !req
17. it can be heartbreaking...
Copy !req
18. until the excitement takes over...
Copy !req
19. because you soon realize
you get to make new memories...
Copy !req
20. have new experiences...
Copy !req
21. Okay, just need the wrench.
Copy !req
22. Thanks for the help, boys.
Copy !req
23. And best of all...
Copy !req
24. fall in love all over again.
Copy !req
25. The playbook never arrived?
Copy !req
26. Should've been here when we moved in.
Copy !req
27. I don't know how I'm supposed
to know the plays.
Copy !req
28. Whatever.
Copy !req
29. You want me to call Coach Gaines?
Copy !req
30. No, it's fine.
Copy !req
31. I only got two of the AP classes
I wanted,
Copy !req
32. and they put me in Spanish
instead of French.
Copy !req
33. I haven't even looked at
my schedule yet.
Copy !req
34. I'm sure it's just as crappy as mine.
Copy !req
35. We actually wanted
to talk to you about school, anyway.
Copy !req
36. We have some concerns
with you going right now.
Copy !req
37. Isn't that why we moved here?
Copy !req
38. We came here so that your father and I
would be around more,
Copy !req
39. and we'd have more time
to spend together as a family.
Copy !req
40. And to live in a safer place for me
Copy !req
41. to teach you about your powers
and the reason you have them.
Copy !req
42. What do I need to learn?
Copy !req
43. I'm a little stronger, so what?
Copy !req
44. You're a lot stronger, and you've had
an ocular release of energy.
Copy !req
45. - A what?
- Is that seriously what it's called?
Copy !req
46. It doesn't matter what it's called.
He almost hurt a bunch of kids.
Copy !req
47. It was an accident.
I don't even know how it happened.
Copy !req
48. That's exactly our point.
Copy !req
49. So, I'm just not gonna go to school?
Copy !req
50. Until we know how to keep it
from happening again, yes.
Copy !req
51. Why can't I just have
one of those beeper things Mom has
Copy !req
52. in case something goes wrong?
Copy !req
53. An ELT is not the solution, Jordan.
Copy !req
54. You know what?
Copy !req
55. I thought coming here
would be a chance to start over.
Copy !req
56. But I guess I'm just gonna be a freak,
like always.
Copy !req
57. This feels like home already.
Copy !req
58. I need to talk to Eliza.
Copy !req
59. I told Jordan I would be there for him.
Copy !req
60. But I don't even know
what he needs right now.
Copy !req
61. He just needs his dad.
Copy !req
62. You're really swimming around
in that head of yours lately, huh?
Copy !req
63. That stranger in the war suit
really got to you, didn't he?
Copy !req
64. He seemed to know a lot about Superman.
Copy !req
65. And what if he knows about us,
the boys, where we live?
Copy !req
66. My dad's working on it.
He'll find him.
Copy !req
67. And in the meantime, let's just focus
on what we came here for.
Copy !req
68. Family.
Copy !req
69. Open it. Now.
Copy !req
70. - Where is it?
- Where is what?
Copy !req
71. The kryptonite!
Copy !req
72. - Kryptonite...
- Where is it?
Copy !req
73. I haven't had any for a long time.
Copy !req
74. I swear to God, I can't get it anymore.
Copy !req
75. I take it you were unable
Copy !req
76. to secure the necessary kryptonite,
Captain Luthor.
Copy !req
77. We need to keep looking.
Copy !req
78. I understand, Captain...
Copy !req
79. but your suit's running low on power.
Copy !req
80. Then we'll take the ship.
Copy !req
81. - It's barely operable...
- I don't care!
Copy !req
82. We need to stop Kal-El
before he does to this world
Copy !req
83. what he did to mine.
Copy !req
84. You know what?
Copy !req
85. - I just realized something.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
86. I think this is gonna be the first time
Copy !req
87. I've ever gone to school without you.
Copy !req
88. Yeah, it is kind of weird.
Copy !req
89. - No phone today.
- Okay.
Copy !req
90. Hey... try to keep
an open mind, all right?
Copy !req
91. Okay.
Copy !req
92. - I love you.
- Love you, too.
Copy !req
93. We got to go.
Copy !req
94. Love you.
Copy !req
95. Remember, if anybody asks, he's sick.
Copy !req
96. Why do we need these big winter jackets?
Copy !req
97. Wait...
Copy !req
98. are we flying somewhere?
Copy !req
99. We kind of have to. Hold on, okay?
Copy !req
100. Whoo!
Copy !req
101. How come he gets to go flying with Dad
and I have to go to school?
Copy !req
102. At least we have radio.
Copy !req
103. Hey, you confused already?
Copy !req
104. Oh, hey. Uh, hey.
Um, yeah, actually, I'm a little lost.
Copy !req
105. World History, Portable-3?
Copy !req
106. - Oh, it's outside. I'll show you.
- Okay.
Copy !req
107. No Jordan today?
Copy !req
108. Um...
Copy !req
109. He's not feeling so good.
Copy !req
110. - Oh.
- Woah.
Copy !req
111. Sean...
Copy !req
112. Heard you Kent brothers
were moving here.
Copy !req
113. Come on, this is not...
Copy !req
114. You're supposed to be, what,
some kind of star quarterback?
Copy !req
115. - I'm all right.
- Too bad. We already got a QB.
Copy !req
116. How mature.
Copy !req
117. We'll see how you do with our offense.
Copy !req
118. Some people think it's tough to learn,
Copy !req
119. especially if you somehow
never got the playbook.
Copy !req
120. Tell your brother I said hi.
Copy !req
121. It's outside, to the left.
Copy !req
122. - Sorry.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
123. Why did you take us here?
Copy !req
124. I definitely should've worn
better shoes.
Copy !req
125. What is this place?
Copy !req
126. After my father died,
I felt pretty lost.
Copy !req
127. I had a lot of questions
about who I was,
Copy !req
128. why I could do the things I could do.
Copy !req
129. So I came here...
Copy !req
130. found my answers.
Copy !req
131. Maybe this place can help you
the same way it helped me.
Copy !req
132. That's the thing from the ship.
Copy !req
133. It's a Sunstone crystal.
Copy !req
134. Think of it as a computer drive that
contains the entire history of Krypton.
Copy !req
135. So, you brought me
to an igloo in the North Pole
Copy !req
136. to read about Krypton?
Copy !req
137. Not read, exactly.
It's more like... experience.
Copy !req
138. Your family history begins
Copy !req
139. in Krypton's second largest city,
Kryptonopolis.
Copy !req
140. Hey, Lois.
Copy !req
141. Hey... Lana... Kyle.
Copy !req
142. How's everyone doing?
Copy !req
143. You know... adjusting.
Copy !req
144. Look, if you need anything,
please don't hesitate to call.
Copy !req
145. You know what? You should all
come tomorrow for a barbecue.
Copy !req
146. Yeah. One less meal to worry about.
Copy !req
147. Yeah. Great.
Copy !req
148. Writing something about Morgan Edge?
Copy !req
149. He's not as great
as you think he is, Kyle.
Copy !req
150. He was bringing jobs to Smallville,
so that's good enough for me.
Copy !req
151. - Kyle.
- Mr. Mayor.
Copy !req
152. All set for tonight?
Copy !req
153. - Yes, sir.
- Big night for us.
Copy !req
154. Yeah, we're good to go. Excuse me.
Copy !req
155. - Big night?
- Oh.
Copy !req
156. There's a City Council meeting tonight.
Copy !req
157. So, tomorrow, say 7:00?
Copy !req
158. Great. Yeah. We'll bring bubbles.
Copy !req
159. Okay, great.
Copy !req
160. and hope was starting to wane.
Copy !req
161. The planet's natural resources
were reaching exhaustion.
Copy !req
162. As the people discovered Krypton's fate,
Copy !req
163. peace devolved into war,
accelerating the planet's ruin.
Copy !req
164. Our home was lost... forever.
Copy !req
165. It's a lot to absorb, I know.
Copy !req
166. How'd you know to do this
when you came here?
Copy !req
167. My father showed me.
Copy !req
168. Well, the AI of my Kryptonian father.
Copy !req
169. Jordan... this is your grandfather.
Copy !req
170. The man you're named after...
Copy !req
171. Jor-El.
Copy !req
172. You brought your son to me?
Copy !req
173. Why?
Copy !req
174. Because unlike we thought,
Father...
Copy !req
175. he's manifesting abilities.
Copy !req
176. Well, then...
Copy !req
177. it is possible for us to further
our Kryptonian heritage, after all.
Copy !req
178. And you, Jordan,
you will be the one to do it.
Copy !req
179. - Where were you guys all day?
- Go tell him.
Copy !req
180. How'd it go?
Copy !req
181. What?
Copy !req
182. Oh, think I finally broke through.
Copy !req
183. I'm gonna take him back tomorrow
for some tests.
Copy !req
184. - Told you.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
185. That reminds me, Lana invited us
to dinner at their place tomorrow night,
Copy !req
186. so don't stay too late.
Copy !req
187. You going somewhere?
Copy !req
188. Going to a City Council meeting
Copy !req
189. about the Edge proposal.
Copy !req
190. Lois, we're just settling in here.
Copy !req
191. Only for a few minutes, just to listen.
Copy !req
192. Yeah, he texted while you were gone.
Copy !req
193. Said he was stopping by.
Copy !req
194. He has his work face on.
Copy !req
195. I'll take the boys with me.
Copy !req
196. I don't want them hearing about
some crazy person stalking their dad.
Copy !req
197. So, how was today without me?
Copy !req
198. Uh, you know,
it was a lot better, actually.
Copy !req
199. I think we should have done this
a long time ago.
Copy !req
200. Shut up.
Copy !req
201. Boys, you're coming with me.
Copy !req
202. Behave.
Copy !req
203. Sources tell us our armored friend here
Copy !req
204. hit a black market weapons site
last night in Moldova.
Copy !req
205. - What did he take?
- Not sure yet.
Copy !req
206. Blew out the whole operation
before leaving, though.
Copy !req
207. What did he say to you exactly?
Copy !req
208. Just what he knew about Superman.
Copy !req
209. And that we'd see each other again.
Copy !req
210. Well, we know how to make that happen.
Copy !req
211. This time he came in a ship.
Copy !req
212. So, he brought more than just a war suit
with him.
Copy !req
213. He sure did.
Copy !req
214. My guys were able to assign this thing
a resonance identifier.
Copy !req
215. If it goes airborne again...
Copy !req
216. we got him.
Copy !req
217. We won't be here long,
so don't make a scene.
Copy !req
218. No fighting.
Copy !req
219. - Hey, Sarah.
- Hey.
Copy !req
220. Hey.
Copy !req
221. You're too sick to go to school,
Copy !req
222. but your mom brought you here?
Copy !req
223. I started feeling a lot better
and, you know, so...
Copy !req
224. Jonathan, I'm really sorry
about Timmy and the playbook.
Copy !req
225. - I would have done something if...
- It's all good.
Copy !req
226. I got one now. So, it's cool.
Copy !req
227. Cool.
Copy !req
228. Can I help you with something?
Copy !req
229. I saw you at the diner.
Copy !req
230. Wow.
Copy !req
231. You're Lois Lane.
Copy !req
232. - And you're...
- Chrissy Beppo.
Copy !req
233. I've been wanting to introduce myself
the last few days,
Copy !req
234. but I totally chickened out.
Copy !req
235. A fellow journalist.
Copy !req
236. Smallville Gazette. Came to cover this.
Copy !req
237. Not that there's much news
to ever cover at these things.
Copy !req
238. Let's get this thing going
by welcoming my friend,
Copy !req
239. and our Mayor, George Dean.
Copy !req
240. Thank you, Chief. I would like to thank
all the members of the City Council.
Copy !req
241. Hey, I know you're at the Daily Planet
and everything,
Copy !req
242. but if you ever want to write
an article for the Gazette,
Copy !req
243. now that you live here,
Copy !req
244. my editor doesn't shut up about you.
You're like her idol.
Copy !req
245. Ladies and gentlemen, Morgan Edge.
Copy !req
246. Yeah!
Copy !req
247. Sure is quiet out here.
Copy !req
248. Simple.
Copy !req
249. Still looking for the simple life?
Copy !req
250. 'Cause those days are gone, Clark.
Copy !req
251. Long gone.
Copy !req
252. Let me know when you find the ship.
Copy !req
253. Why'd you move the family here?
Copy !req
254. You took Lois away
from where she needs to be.
Copy !req
255. Hurt Jonathan's football chances.
Copy !req
256. Jordan's got no chance
of fitting in with kids here.
Copy !req
257. Must have had a hell of a reason.
Copy !req
258. You told the boys you're Superman.
Copy !req
259. I couldn't lie to 'em anymore.
Copy !req
260. You sure as hell could!
Copy !req
261. - Sam...
- You have any idea what you just did?
Copy !req
262. You ruined their childhood, Clark.
Copy !req
263. I've seen the toll this life's taken
on Lois over the years.
Copy !req
264. She never says anything to you,
but I know!
Copy !req
265. Now you're going to put the boys
through that same hell.
Copy !req
266. - This is gonna keep my family together.
- No, Clark.
Copy !req
267. It'll tear it apart.
Copy !req
268. What is it, Rosetti?
Copy !req
269. Mongolia?
Copy !req
270. How manyjobs
are you lookin' to provide...
Copy !req
271. just so they know.
Copy !req
272. From entry level to tradesmen,
we're estimating around 600.
Copy !req
273. And that's not including
peripheral jobs, folks.
Copy !req
274. - So, if there are no more questions...
- I have a question.
Copy !req
275. That jobs number you say is an estimate?
Copy !req
276. That's right, Miss Lane. It's difficult
to guarantee an exact figure.
Copy !req
277. So, is there a number
that's more feasible?
Copy !req
278. Because I would hate for what happened
in New Carthage to happen here.
Copy !req
279. Such as?
Copy !req
280. Missing job creation targets
by nearly 50%.
Copy !req
281. Paying well below living wage.
That kind of thing.
Copy !req
282. Here's what I love about Lois Lane.
When she smells a story,
Copy !req
283. she goes after it with
everything she has.
Copy !req
284. Even if it concerns her own boss.
Copy !req
285. I thought those mines would be fruitful.
Copy !req
286. I was wrong.
Copy !req
287. But what I promised those people
Copy !req
288. was that I'd take a risk on them
Copy !req
289. when no one else would.
Copy !req
290. And that's exactly what I've come
to offer everyone here.
Copy !req
291. A chance to save this town
and improve its residents' lives.
Copy !req
292. Yeah.
Copy !req
293. But perhaps you're right, Ms. Lane.
Copy !req
294. Perhaps Smallville isn't the place
to take a risk right now.
Copy !req
295. I certainly wouldn't want to cause
any harm to this great community.
Copy !req
296. Maybe that's something
you'll need to discuss further.
Copy !req
297. Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you for your time.
Copy !req
298. If you'll forgive me.
Copy !req
299. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
300. It's just like what
they say about you...
Copy !req
301. you don't go to the news,
the news comes to you.
Copy !req
302. Stop!
Copy !req
303. You tracked my ship.
Copy !req
304. What do you want?
Copy !req
305. You... gone.
Copy !req
306. Why?
Copy !req
307. What did I do to you?
Copy !req
308. It wasn't just me.
Copy !req
309. You destroyed my whole planet!
Copy !req
310. I know you can hear the bomb in my ship.
Copy !req
311. People are gonna get hurt.
Copy !req
312. Me... or them?
Copy !req
313. Make a choice, Kal-El.
Copy !req
314. Hut!
Copy !req
315. Come on!
Copy !req
316. There you go, Ryan, there you go!
Copy !req
317. Run it again, but better.
Copy !req
318. Let's go.
Copy !req
319. Can I take some snaps today, Coach?
Copy !req
320. Kent, I want you on the book
learning the offense.
Copy !req
321. It doesn't look too complicated.
Copy !req
322. I think if you just put me out there,
I can show you what I can do.
Copy !req
323. Hmm.
Copy !req
324. Ryan. Hydrate.
Copy !req
325. All right, Kent.
Copy !req
326. Twins right flex, 23 savior.
Copy !req
327. Come on, let's go. Pick it up.
Copy !req
328. Twins right flex, 23 savior!
Copy !req
329. Ready!
Copy !req
330. And hut!
Copy !req
331. Come on, now,
that was a simple running play, genius.
Copy !req
332. Again.
Copy !req
333. - Falcon right 45 buster.
- Falcon right 45 buster!
Copy !req
334. Ready... and hut!
Copy !req
335. I told you, we already got a QB.
Copy !req
336. He knew my history, my weaknesses.
Copy !req
337. He had kryptonite.
Copy !req
338. He's from another planet?
Copy !req
339. That's what he said.
Copy !req
340. Blames me somehow
for it being destroyed.
Copy !req
341. Well, you'll figure it out. Clark.
Copy !req
342. You've taken on guys like this before.
Copy !req
343. This is the worst time for
someone like this to be showing up.
Copy !req
344. Right when we moved your family
to Smallville
Copy !req
345. and you promised the boys
you'd be Dad of the Year.
Copy !req
346. Your dad knows...
Copy !req
347. that we told the boys.
Copy !req
348. He figured it out the other night.
Copy !req
349. What did he say?
Copy !req
350. Oh, you know, just that we're making
the biggest mistake of our lives.
Copy !req
351. See, now I know
we're on the right track.
Copy !req
352. What's that?
Copy !req
353. It is about an article I'm working on
about Morgan Edge.
Copy !req
354. Edge?
Copy !req
355. He was at the Smallville City Council
meeting last night.
Copy !req
356. I thought you weren't getting involved.
Copy !req
357. Well, yes,
Copy !req
358. but then he started spouting this BS
about helping the town.
Copy !req
359. Morgan Edge is not here
to save Smallville, Kansas,
Copy !req
360. he's here for cheap labor
because people are desperate.
Copy !req
361. Just like he did with New Carthage
and Hazel Green and Granville.
Copy !req
362. He is eating these small towns
from the inside out.
Copy !req
363. Thank you.
Copy !req
364. "Morgan Edge is a corporate vampire."
Copy !req
365. You remember that Edge owns the Planet?
Copy !req
366. - So?
- So he's not gonna let you publish this.
Copy !req
367. You know what, babe?
You do your Superman stuff
Copy !req
368. and I will do my Lois Lane stuff.
Copy !req
369. I'm serious, Clark.
I'm getting this gut feeling
Copy !req
370. that this is one of the reasons
I was supposed to come to Smallville.
Copy !req
371. I am not going to let
Morgan Edge destroy this town
Copy !req
372. like he did the others.
Copy !req
373. Dad's taking me to the fortress today.
Copy !req
374. Gonna run some tests,
see what powers I have
Copy !req
375. or will have or whatever.
Copy !req
376. Can you imagine if I can fly?
Copy !req
377. No, not really.
Copy !req
378. What Sarah said about the playbook,
what happened?
Copy !req
379. I mean, I didn't get it,
and now I have it, so, it's cool.
Copy !req
380. All right.
Copy !req
381. - Ready?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
382. See you guys later.
Copy !req
383. Have fun being Superman and Superboy
or whatever.
Copy !req
384. What's wrong?
Copy !req
385. Nothing, Mom.
Copy !req
386. Just need to...
just need to learn this playbook.
Copy !req
387. Jonathan.
Copy !req
388. You're a really great brother,
you know that?
Copy !req
389. I know how much you gave up
by saying yes to coming here.
Copy !req
390. Your whole life's in Metropolis,
your girlfriend's there.
Copy !req
391. Your entire identity is there.
Copy !req
392. But you said yes to coming here anyway
'cause you wanted to help your brother.
Copy !req
393. You and I both had lives we left behind.
Copy !req
394. Yeah.
Copy !req
395. And you're certain
he's displayed abilities?
Copy !req
396. Absolutely certain. Why?
Copy !req
397. The photo-nucleic effect
appears to be insignificant.
Copy !req
398. "Insignificant"?
Copy !req
399. How can that be?
Copy !req
400. His cells can only store minimal
amounts of energy from the Sun.
Copy !req
401. But he's released an ocular blast.
Copy !req
402. Only once, and he's since then
been unable to repeat it.
Copy !req
403. He has elevated strength?
Copy !req
404. For his size, perhaps,
but nothing extraordinary.
Copy !req
405. He doesn't even have
one-hundredth of your strength.
Copy !req
406. - Test him again.
- There is no reason to do so.
Copy !req
407. These have been random occurrences.
Copy !req
408. He'll never have enough power
to produce these abilities on commands.
Copy !req
409. His human DNA is just too limiting.
Copy !req
410. I know you wish for this...
Copy !req
411. but he will never be like you, Kal-El.
Copy !req
412. Jordan...
Copy !req
413. Sam, I sent this in hours ago
and now you're having second thought...
Copy !req
414. Hello?
Copy !req
415. - Just leave me alone!
- Jordan.
Copy !req
416. I'm not going to the Cushings.
Copy !req
417. What happened at the fortress?
Copy !req
418. Guess we found out what I always knew,
I'm not special.
Copy !req
419. Jordan, it is a process.
Copy !req
420. We will go back, we will test you again
Copy !req
421. and we'll see how
you progress over time.
Copy !req
422. - Yeah.
- Maybe he should just stay home.
Copy !req
423. What? Why?
Copy !req
424. Baby have another bad day?
Copy !req
425. - Screw you!
- No!
Copy !req
426. - Boys...
- No!
Copy !req
427. I am sick of your crap, okay, Jordan?
This is not just about you.
Copy !req
428. - I got the shaft.
- What does that mean?
Copy !req
429. It means that Don Draper over here
kissed Sarah
Copy !req
430. at the bonfire party.
So now, her dick boyfriend
Copy !req
431. and the entire team are out to get me.
Copy !req
432. That's why you didn't get the playbook?
Copy !req
433. Yeah, genius. I guess super-perception
isn't one of your powers.
Copy !req
434. Okay, okay. You know what?
Copy !req
435. Jonathan, you and I,
we can go out front, we can run plays.
Copy !req
436. No, babe, not right now.
Listen, sweetie,
Copy !req
437. I am sorry about the playbook,
that really sucks.
Copy !req
438. And I'm sorry going to the fortress
didn't meet your expectations.
Copy !req
439. You're probably so disappointed.
Copy !req
440. But now's not the time to wallow in
everything that's gone wrong
Copy !req
441. since we came here.
Copy !req
442. We moved here to be closer as a family.
Copy !req
443. And we got invited to this dinner
as a family,
Copy !req
444. and we are going as a family.
Copy !req
445. So get dressed.
Copy !req
446. You heard your mother.
Copy !req
447. You made it.
Copy !req
448. Sorry we're late.
Copy !req
449. I am so glad that you guys could come.
I'm embarrassed...
Copy !req
450. Hi.
Copy !req
451. I'm embarrassed
I didn't have you over sooner.
Copy !req
452. Oh, yeah, no, don't be.
Copy !req
453. Oh, that.
Copy !req
454. Barbecues have become
a bit of a tradition around here.
Copy !req
455. Everyone loves Kyle's grilling.
Copy !req
456. Please, make yourselves at home.
Copy !req
457. There is plenty of food.
Copy !req
458. Hey. I'll come find you in a bit.
Copy !req
459. - I want to hear about practice.
- Okay.
Copy !req
460. - One hour?
- Tops.
Copy !req
461. - Hello.
- Hi.
Copy !req
462. Oh, you have the same look on your face
as you did in high school.
Copy !req
463. Like you've got the weight of the world
on your shoulders.
Copy !req
464. I'm just wondering if we're gonna
fit in here.
Copy !req
465. Well, don't even think about leaving,
'cause I just got you back.
Copy !req
466. You know what? Listen,
it's gonna take everybody a little while
Copy !req
467. to get used to this new normal.
Copy !req
468. You grew up here, they didn't. So,
Copy !req
469. it's kind of up to you
to make them feel at home.
Copy !req
470. Yeah?
Copy !req
471. Doug, you're cheating. You can't...
Copy !req
472. - Hey.
- Hey.
Copy !req
473. That's good, Soph. Thank you.
Copy !req
474. Heard you had another tough one today.
Copy !req
475. You hear about everything, huh?
Copy !req
476. Sean was over earlier and he told me.
Copy !req
477. If you don't mind me asking, what...
Copy !req
478. what is it exactly that you see
in that guy?
Copy !req
479. He can be really sweet.
Copy !req
480. Yeah, real sweet guy.
Copy !req
481. Especially on the football field.
Copy !req
482. Okay. Well, all that
Copy !req
483. kissing stuff
is gonna die down pretty soon, so...
Copy !req
484. He should be mad at me, not Jon.
I'm the one who did it.
Copy !req
485. Are you gonna come to school
anytime soon?
Copy !req
486. If my parents ever let me.
Copy !req
487. Why wouldn't they let you go to school?
Copy !req
488. They don't think I have control
over my issues.
Copy !req
489. Thought we had it all figured out,
but I guess not.
Copy !req
490. You guys want some barbecue?
Copy !req
491. Maybe in a bit.
Copy !req
492. Okay. All right, let's go.
Copy !req
493. So...
Copy !req
494. what happened today?
Copy !req
495. I found out I suck just as much as
a Kryptonian as I do a human.
Copy !req
496. So, not... not so great?
Copy !req
497. No, not great.
Copy !req
498. Come on. Let's get some food.
Copy !req
499. Let's see what we got right there.
There you go, enjoy.
Copy !req
500. You've come to the wrong place if you're
looking for a tofu burger.
Copy !req
501. I was waiting for a full rack, actually.
Copy !req
502. You know, I looked into what happened
in New Carthage.
Copy !req
503. Wasn't a good deal.
Copy !req
504. You know, those people wanted
to unionize right off the bat.
Copy !req
505. Yeah, to protect themselves.
Copy !req
506. Well, yeah, but that would've meant that
Edge couldn't turn a profit.
Copy !req
507. He'd have lost a third of his work force
if those salaries went up.
Copy !req
508. I'm sorry. Are you trying to argue that
people shouldn't make a living wage?
Copy !req
509. God, no. Okay. What I'm saying is that,
Copy !req
510. in situations like this, some money
in your pocket is better than none.
Copy !req
511. Lot of nothin' is still nothin',
Ms. Lane.
Copy !req
512. Short-term sacrifices
for long-term gain.
Copy !req
513. Just to get the ball rolling.
Copy !req
514. That's what Smallville needs right now.
Copy !req
515. Enjoy your ribs.
Copy !req
516. He changed it. He changed my story.
Copy !req
517. It's like a pro-Edge fluff piece.
Copy !req
518. - Foswell did this?
- No, Edge.
Copy !req
519. I can't let him do this.
Copy !req
520. - Perimeter breach!
- We have an intruder alarm in...
Copy !req
521. General, you need to see this.
Copy !req
522. He's here.
Copy !req
523. Now? You gotta be kidding me.
Copy !req
524. It's your dad. He's at the DOD.
Copy !req
525. I'll explain why. Go.
Copy !req
526. - Light him up.
- You're at green.
Copy !req
527. Fire!
Copy !req
528. Get a signal on that suit, Rosetti.
Copy !req
529. I'm trying.
Copy !req
530. Where the hell is Superman?
Copy !req
531. Go, go, go. Everyone out!
Copy !req
532. What the hell?
Copy !req
533. - Get the power back up, Rosetti.
- On it, sir.
Copy !req
534. You have to stop protecting him.
Copy !req
535. - Superman?
- Stop calling him that!
Copy !req
536. He's not one of us, Sam.
Copy !req
537. Where I come from, you're like me.
Copy !req
538. And you didn't trust him either,
because you know what he is capable of.
Copy !req
539. You have to help me save
your planet, Sam.
Copy !req
540. Before Kal-El...
Copy !req
541. To hell and back, General.
Copy !req
542. - What is this?
- No clue.
Copy !req
543. He acted like we were chums, though.
Copy !req
544. So, that's why he was here? For you?
Copy !req
545. He was here for the same reason
he was in Moldova and Mongolia.
Copy !req
546. Kryptonite.
Copy !req
547. You have a supply?
Copy !req
548. - I do.
- And you never told me?
Copy !req
549. I don't tell you lots of things.
Copy !req
550. How much do you have, Sam?
Copy !req
551. Let's just say, it's the reason
the world's in short supply.
Copy !req
552. Why?
Copy !req
553. So no one gets their hands on it
and uses it against you.
Copy !req
554. When are you going to realize
Copy !req
555. everything I've done
since the day you married my daughter
Copy !req
556. has been for all of your protection.
Copy !req
557. Then find this guy...
Copy !req
558. so I can finish this.
Copy !req
559. Hey.
Copy !req
560. Did you know your dad was
stockpiling kryptonite?
Copy !req
561. This bottle doesn't stand a chance,
does it?
Copy !req
562. Nope.
Copy !req
563. So, did you get the Stranger?
Copy !req
564. Getting closer.
Copy !req
565. - How was the rest of the barbecue?
- We didn't stay very long.
Copy !req
566. - The ribs were really good, though.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
567. You know how many times as a kid
I'd sit out here
Copy !req
568. and my mom and dad would come out
Copy !req
569. and I'd ask them
a thousand questions about
Copy !req
570. how to solve this problem
or that problem.
Copy !req
571. Do you think we made a mistake
by moving here?
Copy !req
572. Actually, I don't.
Copy !req
573. We just have a lot
of questions to answer.
Copy !req
574. Like, what are you going to do about
the Planet?
Copy !req
575. I don't know.
Copy !req
576. I've never been rewritten before.
Copy !req
577. Well, here's what I know.
Copy !req
578. The fire I saw in you,
with that story...
Copy !req
579. I haven't seen that look in your eye
in a long time.
Copy !req
580. And I know this family is closer
this week than we were last week.
Copy !req
581. So, it's okay if we've got
a lot of questions.
Copy !req
582. We're gonna find the answers together.
Copy !req
583. Up, up, and away.
Copy !req
584. All right. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Copy !req
585. Okay. Good night.
Copy !req
586. - How's Eliza doing?
- Hey. Um...
Copy !req
587. She's okay. She's okay.
Maybe... maybe too okay. I don't know.
Copy !req
588. Look, Jon, I...
Copy !req
589. You were right before.
Copy !req
590. You moved here for me
and I never even thanked you.
Copy !req
591. - You don't have to thank me.
- Yes, I do.
Copy !req
592. Our whole lives,
you've been there for me,
Copy !req
593. and the least I could do
is be there for you.
Copy !req
594. So, you ever find out if you're
half-Kryptonian or what?
Copy !req
595. Not according to holo-gramps.
He said I'll never be like Dad.
Copy !req
596. Jordan...
Copy !req
597. Look.
Copy !req
598. I know what happened in the barn.
Copy !req
599. Those poles fell on us,
and you saved our lives.
Copy !req
600. So, honestly, I really...
Copy !req
601. I don't care what some stupid
hologram said.
Copy !req
602. You're my twin brother,
I know you better than anyone.
Copy !req
603. You're different now. Okay?
Copy !req
604. Something happened to you.
Definitely something special.
Copy !req
605. And if no one else is gonna help you
figure out what that is...
Copy !req
606. I will.
Copy !req
607. What are you talking about?
It's an old house.
Copy !req
608. It's like the popcorn scene.
It's some old, inhabitable one.
Copy !req
609. Take a seat.
Copy !req
610. What's going on?
Copy !req
611. Take a seat.
Copy !req
612. I'm sorry I left last night.
Copy !req
613. It's okay.
Copy !req
614. We get you were out saving the world
or whatever.
Copy !req
615. - We're used to it.
- Yeah, I... I know, I know. That's...
Copy !req
616. That's the problem.
That the fact that I'm...
Copy !req
617. Superman means that...
Copy !req
618. I've been gone a lot in your lives.
Copy !req
619. Now, I've always told myself
that you'd both be fine
Copy !req
620. and that it wouldn't affect you...
Copy !req
621. but I was wrong. I know it has.
Copy !req
622. Now, I can't just abandon the world...
Copy !req
623. but I can't abandon you two either.
Copy !req
624. It's gonna take me some time
to figure out how to be better at both.
Copy !req
625. But I will, okay?
Copy !req
626. Okay.
Copy !req
627. Thought you said this
wouldn't fix my problem.
Copy !req
628. It won't.
But keeping you home won't either.
Copy !req
629. So I can go to school?
Copy !req
630. We have to keep an eye
on your powers, Jordan...
Copy !req
631. but, yes, you can go.
Copy !req
632. All right. Let's get dressed.
We gotta go.
Copy !req
633. Wait. Where's Mom?
Copy !req
634. Oh, she, uh, she had a thing.
Copy !req
635. Lane, I didn't know.
Copy !req
636. Let me make this very clear.
Either the website gets more clicks
Copy !req
637. or various people sitting
in this room...
Copy !req
638. You rewrote my story.
Copy !req
639. I merely corrected what was wrong.
Copy !req
640. So, just to confirm, we can't do any
actual reporting here anymore, correct?
Copy !req
641. Ms. Lane, I won't have my paper printing
this kind of nonsense.
Copy !req
642. That's what I thought.
Copy !req
643. What's this?
Copy !req
644. That is the best writing I have done
since you took over.
Copy !req
645. - He's going to crush you.
- Let him try.
Copy !req
646. What can you say
about leaving a place you loved?
Copy !req
647. You hope it made you who you are...
Copy !req
648. challenged your beliefs...
Copy !req
649. pushed you out of your comfort zone...
Copy !req
650. and gave you the strength
to demand better...
Copy !req
651. so you're prepared
for what's to come.
Copy !req
652. Hello? Anyone here?
Copy !req
653. Sorry.
Copy !req
654. Lois.
Copy !req
655. Hi, can I help you?
Copy !req
656. I'm guessing you read my article
that was in the Daily Planet?
Copy !req
657. Yeah, I did.
Copy !req
658. Didn't really read like you...
Copy !req
659. Because it wasn't.
This is what I really wrote.
Copy !req
660. Morgan Edge changed the whole piece.
Copy !req
661. You said that your editor would be
Copy !req
662. interested in publishing
anything I wrote.
Copy !req
663. You're really good, you got me.
Copy !req
664. I'm the editor.
Reporter. Printer. Janitor.
Copy !req
665. Sometimes plumber.
I don't know why I said that.
Copy !req
666. - I guess I just...
- So, are you interested?
Copy !req
667. Okay. If I publish this,
you'll probably get fired
Copy !req
668. and I can't be responsible...
Copy !req
669. Oh, no, I already quit.
Copy !req
670. When can you start?
Copy !req
671. It seems, sir, that you're going to
have to proceed without the kryptonite
Copy !req
672. or your ship.
Copy !req
673. Then I need a new suit.
Copy !req
674. It will take some time to locate
the proper materials to build one.
Copy !req
675. Guess we'll go find what we need.
Copy !req
676. We have some time.
It seems this planet's Kal-El
Copy !req
677. is not entirely like the one you've
encountered, Captain Luthor.
Copy !req
678. This is Hellfire-3-1!
Engaging hostile air-mobile!
Copy !req
679. - General?
- To hell and back.
Copy !req
680. No. He isn't like my Kal-El.
Copy !req
681. Not yet.
Copy !req
