1. - Previously on
"Superman & Lois"...Copy !req
2. - Your mom wanted us
to move to SmallvilleCopy !req
3. - This family
needs Smallville.Copy !req
4. - About a year ago,Copy !req
5. I took a bunch
of my mom's pills.Copy !req
6. She made a really big
drama out of it.Copy !req
7. Lots of therapy.Copy !req
8. - Hey!
That's my girlfriend!Copy !req
9. - Girlfriend?
- It is an articleCopy !req
10. I am working on
about Morgan Edge.Copy !req
11. He's not here
to save Smallville.Copy !req
12. Edge changed my story.Copy !req
13. I can't let him do this.Copy !req
14. That is the best writing
I have doneCopy !req
15. since you took over.Copy !req
16. I already quit.Copy !req
17. - When can you start?
- So I can go to school?Copy !req
18. - We have to keep an eye
on your powers.Copy !req
19. - His photonucleic effect
appears to be insignificant.Copy !req
20. He will never be like you,
Kal-El.Copy !req
21. - Does this have
too much blue in it?Copy !req
22. - I still like
the Huntsman's Tribute.Copy !req
23. - Dad, I'm pretty sure
that's just slang for "poop."Copy !req
24. - Hey.
- Jonathan.Copy !req
25. Don't be gross.Copy !req
26. Also, he's not wrong.Copy !req
27. - Mom, can we just
pick something?Copy !req
28. - Sweetie, this is
an important decision.Copy !req
29. We're finally putting our own
stamp on this house.Copy !req
30. - If you'd make up your mind.Copy !req
31. - What about this color?Copy !req
32. You like this color?Copy !req
33. - Yeah, it's fine.Copy !req
34. - Yeah?
- Yeah.Copy !req
35. - Ah!
- Someone is just askingCopy !req
36. for the Huntsman's Tribute.
- Anything but Dad's color!Copy !req
37. - Oh, come on!Copy !req
38. Oh.
You really want to do this?Copy !req
39. - No super tricks.
All right?Copy !req
40. - Come on.
Come on.Copy !req
41. You have to do
better than that!Copy !req
42. - Okay, you're done.
That's it, that's it!Copy !req
43. - Clark?
Clark?Copy !req
44. Guess there's no reason
to hide itCopy !req
45. now that you both know
he's Superman.Copy !req
46. - Oh!Copy !req
47. - Wait, so you can hearCopy !req
48. every sound
in the world at once?Copy !req
49. - It's more like I hear all
the fluctuations taking placeCopy !req
50. in the collective
sonic frequency.Copy !req
51. - That makes zero sense to me.Copy !req
52. - So how do you tell
between, like,Copy !req
53. someone in trouble and someone
shouting for a taxi?Copy !req
54. - Well, it took lots of years
of trainingCopy !req
55. at the Fortress,
but that's where I learnedCopy !req
56. to hone in on certain sounds,
like people in distress.Copy !req
57. - Wait, be for real, though.Copy !req
58. What's the most embarrassing
thing you've ever heard?Copy !req
59. - Nope.
Not appropriate.Copy !req
60. - Be honest.
Was there nudity involved?Copy !req
61. - Maybe when you guys
are older.Copy !req
62. - Oh, come on, come on!
- What?Copy !req
63. - Another time, another time.Copy !req
64. - I would've much rather had
super hearingCopy !req
65. than crazy-ass laser eyes.
- Hey, let's just stickCopy !req
66. with calling
it "heat vision" for now, okay?Copy !req
67. - Mm-hmm.
- And don't be so sure.Copy !req
68. Every power comes
with its own burden.Copy !req
69. - And responsibilities.Copy !req
70. - You mean rules.Copy !req
71. - Which are meant
to protect you.Copy !req
72. - Yeah.
"Don't use my powers,Copy !req
73. don't draw attention
to myself."Copy !req
74. - Oh, "Don't feed him
after midnight."Copy !req
75. - Hey, it's important
that we don't drawCopy !req
76. unnecessary attention
to our family.Copy !req
77. If anyone ever found out
the truth about me,Copy !req
78. it would change everything.Copy !req
79. - It's not like
we're worried you twoCopy !req
80. are gonna post it on Facebook.Copy !req
81. - I mean, yeah,
we're not soccer moms.Copy !req
82. - My point is, you need to be
mindful of your actions.Copy !req
83. It's the small things
that'll raise suspicion.Copy !req
84. - Look, when I was your age,
my dad was really strict,Copy !req
85. and at the time,
it seemed unfair.Copy !req
86. But now, I realize it gave me
a normal life.Copy !req
87. And that's what I want
for the two of you.Copy !req
88. - Yeah, if by "normal" you mean
we're cast out like lepers,Copy !req
89. Smallville High has it covered.Copy !req
90. - All I'm asking
is that you're careful, okay?Copy !req
91. I can't always be there.Copy !req
92. - Okay.
- Yeah, all right.Copy !req
93. - Couldn't we just sat
in the waiting room?Copy !req
94. - What if somebody
we know came in?Copy !req
95. They might ask questions.
- You know,Copy !req
96. if this is something
you're so embarrassed about,Copy !req
97. then maybe we shouldn't
be doing it anymore.Copy !req
98. - We agreed, Kyle.
This is important.Copy !req
99. - It's been a year, Lana.Copy !req
100. - Why does it feel likeCopy !req
101. I'm the only one that's still
worried about this?Copy !req
102. - Will you stop
with this again?Copy !req
103. You're not the only one
worried about this.Copy !req
104. - You sure have a funny way
of showing it.Copy !req
105. Hey, honey.Copy !req
106. - Hey, mija.Copy !req
107. - How did it go
with Dr. Lawrence?Copy !req
108. - That's... between me and her.Copy !req
109. - I just want to make sure
you're doing okay, that's all.Copy !req
110. - Then stop asking me about it
every 10 seconds.Copy !req
111. - I'm seeing Dr. LawrenceCopy !req
112. like you asked, okay?Copy !req
113. Can we just go now?
Dad?Copy !req
114. - Roger that.Copy !req
115. - Hey, you weren't
in first period classCopy !req
116. this morning.
Everything all right?Copy !req
117. - Not according to my mom.Copy !req
118. It's fine, it's just some dumb
family drama stuff.Copy !req
119. - Hey, uh—Copy !req
120. I've been meaning
to ask you this.Copy !req
121. After school,
could we possibly hang out—Copy !req
122. - Oh, I—I'm gonna be late,Copy !req
123. so I'll talk to you later?Copy !req
124. - Close, but no cigar, pal.Copy !req
125. Nice try.Copy !req
126. - Hey, short stack...Copy !req
127. Why is it every time I see you,Copy !req
128. you're flirting
with my girlfriend?Copy !req
129. - Look, I don't know what
you're talking—Copy !req
130. Hey!
What are you doing?Copy !req
131. - First, you kiss Sarah,
and now I catch youCopy !req
132. slobbering all over like a—
- Hey!Copy !req
133. Get away from him!Copy !req
134. What are you doing? Come on.
- Thank you.Copy !req
135. - Jordan. Come on.
- Thank you.Copy !req
136. - Hey!
- Don't you walk away from me.Copy !req
137. - Jordan, Jordan, Jordan—Copy !req
138. Jordan, Jordan!Copy !req
139. - Look at him, he's shaking.Copy !req
140. - Jordan!Copy !req
141. - Oh, this is pathetic.Copy !req
142. - Hey, guys!Copy !req
143. Wow, this place has...Copy !req
144. - Whatever.
- Really not changedCopy !req
145. since I went here.Copy !req
146. - I didn't need your help.Copy !req
147. - Apparently needed Dad's.Copy !req
148. What are you doing here?Copy !req
149. - Oh, just wanted to, you know,Copy !req
150. see how things were going
at your new school.Copy !req
151. - So you decide
to randomly drop byCopy !req
152. during fifth period?Copy !req
153. - This wasn't random.Copy !req
154. He was spying on us.Copy !req
155. - What?Copy !req
156. - I was just making sure
that you were okay.Copy !req
157. - Yeah, you could've said
something this morning,Copy !req
158. but instead,
you lied to our faces.Copy !req
159. - It wasn't a lie.
You just didn't ask.Copy !req
160. - How long have you
been doing this?Copy !req
161. Since we moved here?
Our whole lives?Copy !req
162. - It's not like I'm listening
all the time.Copy !req
163. - That is—that is
the wrong answer.Copy !req
164. - You know, I thought
you said it was okayCopy !req
165. for me to go to school.
- It is.Copy !req
166. - Yes.
- Jordan, having a new powerCopy !req
167. is a lot.
- Yeah.Copy !req
168. So that was a lie too.Copy !req
169. - Oy.Copy !req
170. - So how was your first day?Copy !req
171. - I tried following up
on those reverse mortgages,Copy !req
172. but it turns out,
people aren't interestedCopy !req
173. in talking to someone
not from Smallville.Copy !req
174. - Well, trust takes time.Copy !req
175. People around here,
they'll warm up soon enough.Copy !req
176. - You spoken to the boys
since earlier?Copy !req
177. - Nope.
Radio silence.Copy !req
178. - Do you remember
the first time I caught youCopy !req
179. listening in on me?Copy !req
180. - How could I forget?Copy !req
181. Thought I was gonna
lose you forever.Copy !req
182. - You almost did.Copy !req
183. - Pretty sure I spent about
a weeks' salary on flowersCopy !req
184. just to get you
to talk to me again.Copy !req
185. - It was two,
and you got off easyCopy !req
186. because I was still
madly in love with you.Copy !req
187. - Mm-hmm.Copy !req
188. Well...Copy !req
189. any suggestions
on how to make things rightCopy !req
190. with the boys?Copy !req
191. - Make them the same promise
you made me.Copy !req
192. - You both were right.Copy !req
193. I'm sorry.Copy !req
194. No more listening in
on your conversations.Copy !req
195. I give you my word.Copy !req
196. - Mom mentioned something
about flowers.Copy !req
197. What are the chances of you
raising my allowance?Copy !req
198. Nice try.Copy !req
199. We good?Copy !req
200. - Sure, whatever.Copy !req
201. - How would you like to
interview the keynote speakerCopy !req
202. at this year's
Harvest Festival?Copy !req
203. - Not sure puff pieces
are really my brand.Copy !req
204. - Well, around here,
they sell papers.Copy !req
205. I'm afraid not everything
you write for meCopy !req
206. is gonna change the world.Copy !req
207. - This the paper that just
published that articleCopy !req
208. about Edge Intercorp?Copy !req
209. - Yes, along with a great piece
on birdwatchingCopy !req
210. and a pretty tricky
crossword puzzle.Copy !req
211. - Eh, it wasn't that tricky.Copy !req
212. Now, which one of you is
calling around New CarthageCopy !req
213. looking for a new story?Copy !req
214. - That would be me.
Miss...Copy !req
215. - Powell.
Sharon Powell.Copy !req
216. - Miss Powell, I'm Lois Lane.Copy !req
217. Does this have anything to do
with Morgan Edge?Copy !req
218. - Yeah, you're damn right
it does.Copy !req
219. I'm hoping you can help me nail
that bastard's assCopy !req
220. to the wall.Copy !req
221. My son was a miner at the
Edge Facility in New Carthage.Copy !req
222. Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
223. - He worked there six months.Copy !req
224. Made good money, too.Copy !req
225. He even sent some of it
back home.Copy !req
226. But that all changed
the day Morgan EdgeCopy !req
227. offered him "the opportunity
of a lifetime."Copy !req
228. - What kind of opportunity?Copy !req
229. - I was never too clear
on that.Copy !req
230. Derek had to sign
a bunch of paperwork.Copy !req
231. Keeping him quiet.Copy !req
232. - And why do you think there
was foul play involved?Copy !req
233. - Hey, Mom,
wish I caught you.Copy !req
234. This opportunity
isn't what I thought it was.Copy !req
235. Not sure what's gonna happen,
so...Copy !req
236. just wanted you to know
that I loved you.Copy !req
237. Bye.Copy !req
238. - That was the last time I...Copy !req
239. ever heard his voice.Copy !req
240. - I'm sorry.Copy !req
241. - Thank you.Copy !req
242. - You can't just
break up with me.Copy !req
243. - Have you not been
paying attention?Copy !req
244. - Come on.
- Don't.Copy !req
245. - Better learn
to stay in your lane.Copy !req
246. - One, two, three, four, five.Copy !req
247. Seven, eight.Copy !req
248. One, two, three, four, five.Copy !req
249. Seven, eight.Copy !req
250. One, two, three, four, five.Copy !req
251. Seven, eight.Copy !req
252. What is with the timing?Copy !req
253. Sarah!
- What?Copy !req
254. - 14 other girls
are working their butts off,Copy !req
255. and you're barely
paying attention.Copy !req
256. What's going on?Copy !req
257. - Relax, Mom.Copy !req
258. - Don't tell me to relax.Copy !req
259. This is important.Copy !req
260. What has gotten
into you lately?Copy !req
261. - You know what, Mom?Copy !req
262. I quit.Copy !req
263. How about that?Copy !req
264. - Sarah, get back here.Copy !req
265. Sarah!Copy !req
266. - Get 'em, boys.Copy !req
267. Come on, boys.Copy !req
268. Get your heads into it,
let's go!Copy !req
269. Pick up that knee!
Let's go!Copy !req
270. - Uh, Kent.
Is that your brother?Copy !req
271. - Come on, let's go, people!Copy !req
272. Two hands on that ball!
- Hey, Pee-Wee!Copy !req
273. Practice is on Saturday!Copy !req
274. - He's a walking Disney movie
in cleats.Copy !req
275. - Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, dude.Copy !req
276. What are you doing?Copy !req
277. - Trying out for the team.
- That is a—Copy !req
278. a terrible idea
on so many levels, I can't—Copy !req
279. - Since when did you become
such a pessimist?Copy !req
280. - I don't know, probably since
I saw you in pads.Copy !req
281. Jordan, what about your powers?Copy !req
282. - I'll go easy.
All right?Copy !req
283. - Do you even know
how to do that?Copy !req
284. - Don't worry.Copy !req
285. Now, who wants to play
some football?Copy !req
286. - In the middle.
In the middle, 13, let's go!Copy !req
287. - Jordan, that literally
goes against everythingCopy !req
288. that we talked about with Dad.Copy !req
289. - You play for the team
all the time.Copy !req
290. What's the difference
if I give it a try?Copy !req
291. - Are you being serious?Copy !req
292. What is this even about,
Jordan?Copy !req
293. You hate sports.Copy !req
294. - These guys think
they can push us around.Copy !req
295. Well, guess what?Copy !req
296. I'm pushing back.Copy !req
297. - Let's go, drive that through.
Drive, drive, drive,Copy !req
298. drive, drive!Copy !req
299. Come on, let's go, people!Copy !req
300. All right.Copy !req
301. When you came by earlier,
I thoughtCopy !req
302. the other coaches
was pranking me.Copy !req
303. But here you are.Copy !req
304. All right.Copy !req
305. Simon!Copy !req
306. Go on, take some reps
at corner.Copy !req
307. Go on.
- Yes, Coach!Copy !req
308. Thank you, Coach!Copy !req
309. - It's not a military drill,
Jordan.Copy !req
310. - You're gonna need to put
that helmet on.Copy !req
311. Let's go, people!
Let's go!Copy !req
312. Come on, now!
Let's go!Copy !req
313. Pick up the pace!Copy !req
314. - Red Eighty,
Red Eighty.Copy !req
315. Set, hut!Copy !req
316. - This is my lane now, bro.Copy !req
317. - Whoo!Copy !req
318. Ohh!Copy !req
319. - That's what
I'm talking about!Copy !req
320. - Thanks, Coach.
- Whoo!Copy !req
321. Thank you.Copy !req
322. Thank you!
Uh!Copy !req
323. Ah, ah!Copy !req
324. Hey, where are you going,
QB number two?Copy !req
325. Not so fast.Copy !req
326. - Excuse me, Coach?Copy !req
327. - You got the big cheese,
Ronnie Lott,Copy !req
328. for a little brother and you
didn't say nothing to me?Copy !req
329. Someone's running today,
smartass.Copy !req
330. You give me five
for keeping that from me.Copy !req
331. Yeah, go on!Copy !req
332. - Pick up the pace,
or I'll put five on it!Copy !req
333. - So when did you turn intoCopy !req
334. Mr. All-American
football player?Copy !req
335. - I've been practicing
in the backyard with Jon.Copy !req
336. - Oh, yeah, yeah.
For sure, every day.Copy !req
337. - You two are very
unusual people.Copy !req
338. - So I kinda heard
you and Sean earlier.Copy !req
339. - It was long overdue.
He's just...Copy !req
340. everything I'm not looking for.Copy !req
341. - I'm sorry.Copy !req
342. - So you—you broke up
with Sean then?Copy !req
343. - Well, aren't you
super perceptive.Copy !req
344. - So that's why you walked off
the cheer squad earlier?Copy !req
345. - Uh, maybe.Copy !req
346. We've been in school for, what?
Exactly, like, a week?Copy !req
347. And it feels the exact same.Copy !req
348. Have you guys ever just wantedCopy !req
349. to change your... everything?Copy !req
350. - Yeah.
- Not until I moved here.Copy !req
351. Uh, Sarah, your mom's coming
in at, like, an EF4 right now.Copy !req
352. - Hi, boys.
- Hi, Mrs. Cushing.Copy !req
353. - Sarah, can I talk to you
for a minute?Copy !req
354. - Whatever you wanna say,
you can say it right here.Copy !req
355. - Do you wanna explain to me
what happened back there?Copy !req
356. - Isn't it obvious?
I quit the team.Copy !req
357. - Mm-hmm, you don't need
to give me attitude.Copy !req
358. - Well, you don't have to hover
every single day.Copy !req
359. - Look, I'm just trying
to keep you safe.Copy !req
360. - Because you think
I'm gonna kill myself?Copy !req
361. - Okay, this is not
the appropriate placeCopy !req
362. to be having this conversation.Copy !req
363. - How many times do I have
to tell you I'm fine?Copy !req
364. Can't you just trust that
and back off?Copy !req
365. - I know you're not telling me
everything that happened.Copy !req
366. That's hilarious,Copy !req
367. coming from the most
full-of-crap ladyCopy !req
368. in all of Smallville.
- Okay, Sarah—Copy !req
369. - No, you act like our family's
so awesomeCopy !req
370. when it's literally
a dumpster fire.Copy !req
371. - Enough.
- Dad sleepsCopy !req
372. on the couch every night.Copy !req
373. Sophie bullies all of the kids
in her class,Copy !req
374. and you can't go to bed
without taking a pill.Copy !req
375. - I said that's enough!Copy !req
376. Look, grab your stuff.
Let's go.Copy !req
377. Now!Copy !req
378. - Lana?
- Not now, Clark.Copy !req
379. - Everything okay with Lana?Copy !req
380. - Not really.Copy !req
381. - Yeah, she just went all
scorched earth on Sarah.Copy !req
382. - Oh.Copy !req
383. Well, your mom's working late,
so it's just us.Copy !req
384. Anything exciting happen
in school today?Copy !req
385. - Actually, football practice
was pretty interesting.Copy !req
386. - Yeah?
- Yeah.Copy !req
387. Jonathan got a couple
good reps in.Copy !req
388. I really think Coach
is starting to take notice.Copy !req
389. - Yeah, there's just a little
more to it than that, but—Copy !req
390. - That's great!
Let's, uh—Copy !req
391. oh, let's celebrate with
some chili cheese fries.Copy !req
392. - I think Sharon Powell might
have given us our big break.Copy !req
393. - Or—and here's
another theory,Copy !req
394. that lady was half in the bag,Copy !req
395. selling a conspiracy theory
about her son.Copy !req
396. Did you smell her breath?Copy !req
397. - I am aware
she'd been drinking.Copy !req
398. - I looked into Derek Powell
while you were with his mom.Copy !req
399. It turns out, the guy has
a pretty checkered past.Copy !req
400. - Even if that's true,
that voicemailCopy !req
401. was really compelling.Copy !req
402. - Out of context, sure,
but he never onceCopy !req
403. mentioned Morgan Edge.Copy !req
404. Maybe it was just
a drug deal gone wrong.Copy !req
405. - That is a stretch.
- But a bazillionaireCopy !req
406. making the guy disappear isn't?Copy !req
407. - At least give me the chance
to prove I'm right.Copy !req
408. - Look, this isn't
the "Daily Planet."Copy !req
409. We don't have the resources
to run an investigationCopy !req
410. for weeks on end.
- But you hired meCopy !req
411. to write this kind of story.Copy !req
412. - I hate to ask,Copy !req
413. but you don't happen to drive
a station wagonCopy !req
414. that's on fire right now...Copy !req
415. do you?Copy !req
416. - We got the scene cleaned up.
Button up, all right?Copy !req
417. I'm sorry about your car, Lois.Copy !req
418. - Morgan Edge
was behind this, Kyle.Copy !req
419. - Now, hold on,
you shouldn't go aroundCopy !req
420. making baseless accusations
like that.Copy !req
421. - It's not baseless.
We just finished talkingCopy !req
422. to a source about him.Copy !req
423. - We still haven't verified
those claims.Copy !req
424. - Y'all have a good night.Copy !req
425. - Yo, give it back!
- Hey, hey.Copy !req
426. Why'd you lie to Dad?Copy !req
427. - Why are you whispering?
- I'm—I'm not whispering.Copy !req
428. - And I didn't lie to him.
I'm following his example.Copy !req
429. - Okay, well, now that you've
made your stupid point,Copy !req
430. you're done playing football,
right?Copy !req
431. - No, the team needs me.
And besides,Copy !req
432. Coach Gaines may even
send me a valentine.Copy !req
433. - Jordan, football is my thing,
not yours.Copy !req
434. - You don't own football,
you egomaniac.Copy !req
435. - The only reason
that you're even playingCopy !req
436. is 'cause you have your little
super strengthCopy !req
437. or whatever.
- The only reason I'm playingCopy !req
438. is 'cause your little football
buddies need to back off.Copy !req
439. You're welcome.Copy !req
440. And besides,
I don't have super strength.Copy !req
441. I'm just a little stronger
than before.Copy !req
442. - Stop.
What if someone gets hurt?Copy !req
443. - You know, I'm getting
a little tired of everyoneCopy !req
444. treating me like I'm some sort
of ticking time bomb.Copy !req
445. You know Dad's gonna find out.Copy !req
446. - So what?Copy !req
447. I'm not doing anything wrong.Copy !req
448. - Guess you got
nothing to worry about then.Copy !req
449. - Thought you could use this.Copy !req
450. - I made a total fool of myselfCopy !req
451. accusing Edge like that.Copy !req
452. - It's an honest mistake.
- We have been here for a week,Copy !req
453. and somebody's already tried
to blow up my car.Copy !req
454. Look, folks in Smallville,Copy !req
455. they're good people.Copy !req
456. Don't let what happened today
change that.Copy !req
457. Besides, it's not like it's
your first Molotov cocktail.Copy !req
458. - I just feel like everyone
here has their walls up.Copy !req
459. Maybe I should just
hand the story offCopy !req
460. and mend some fences.Copy !req
461. - Well, what's your gut
telling you?Copy !req
462. - That there's more to this.Copy !req
463. - Then you have to dig deeper.Copy !req
464. Listen.Copy !req
465. I will support whatever
decision you make.Copy !req
466. I just want you to be able
to live with it.Copy !req
467. - I love you.Copy !req
468. - Still?Copy !req
469. - Thanks for the flowers.Copy !req
470. - Hey.
- Paperwork is all signed.Copy !req
471. - Ah, great.Copy !req
472. Listen, Clark.
About yesterday—Copy !req
473. - Oh, no.
No need to apologize.Copy !req
474. - It's just, Sarah quit cheer
out of nowhereCopy !req
475. and I suddenly feel like my
whole family is falling apart.Copy !req
476. Can you walk?
- Uh, yeah—Copy !req
477. oh, I left my keys in the—
it's Smallville.Copy !req
478. "It's Smallville."Copy !req
479. - Uh, and I doubt that,
by the way.Copy !req
480. - Well, of course you do.Copy !req
481. I mean, that's the image
I've worked so hardCopy !req
482. to put out there.Copy !req
483. And the truth is,Copy !req
484. Kyle and I barely talk.Copy !req
485. When we do,
we're yelling at each other.Copy !req
486. And Sophie—oh, God, well,Copy !req
487. Sophie's just become mean,
and Sarah,Copy !req
488. I just feel like
I'm losing Sarah.Copy !req
489. - Oh, don't be so sure.Copy !req
490. Really hard to know what
they're thinking at this age.Copy !req
491. - Oh, God.Copy !req
492. Part of me wants to know,Copy !req
493. and the other part of me
is terrifiedCopy !req
494. at what I might find out.Copy !req
495. - Yeah.Copy !req
496. I miss having Mom around
to helpCopy !req
497. with this sort of thing.Copy !req
498. - She would be so happyCopy !req
499. to know you're finally home.Copy !req
500. And at least the boys
are finally settling in.Copy !req
501. I hear Jordan's
quite the football star.Copy !req
502. - Oh, I think
you mean Jonathan.Copy !req
503. - N-no.Copy !req
504. - It's time to get
locked and loaded!Copy !req
505. Let's go!
You ready?Copy !req
506. It's where the rubber
meets the road.Copy !req
507. You ready?
Sean, you're up!Copy !req
508. Who do you want?Copy !req
509. - I want short-stack, Coach.Copy !req
510. - Short-stack!Copy !req
511. All right.
Ooh!Copy !req
512. - Time to lock horns,
gentlemen.Copy !req
513. You ready?Copy !req
514. You ready?Copy !req
515. Ohh!Copy !req
516. - That's what
I'm talking about!Copy !req
517. - Whoo!Copy !req
518. - I shouldn't
have kissed Sarah.Copy !req
519. It wasn't cool.Copy !req
520. I apologize.Copy !req
521. - All right.Copy !req
522. - Yeah.
Thanks.Copy !req
523. - Team that plays together
stays together.Copy !req
524. All right, who's next up?Copy !req
525. - How could you possibly think
it was okay to joinCopy !req
526. the football team?
- You didn't say it wasn't.Copy !req
527. - No, no, don't—don't do that.
I see what you're doing.Copy !req
528. - As long as you don't mention
it, it's not a lie, right?Copy !req
529. - Your father apologized
for that.Copy !req
530. - Your powers are not something
to be taken lightly, Jordan.Copy !req
531. - Yeah, well, I barely
have any, remember?Copy !req
532. That's what Grand Pabbie told
us at Elsa's Ice Castle.Copy !req
533. - That's not funny.
- He was only comparingCopy !req
534. your powers to mine.
- No, he said my powers suck.Copy !req
535. Don't act like he didn't.
- I admit,Copy !req
536. taking you to see him
this early was a mistake.Copy !req
537. - Mistake?Copy !req
538. You know what?
Everything you do is a mistake.Copy !req
539. You get fired,
you bring us here.Copy !req
540. You know, I just wish
you would go backCopy !req
541. to not being around anymore.Copy !req
542. - Go upstairs.
- Yeah.Copy !req
543. - Right now.
- Yeah.Copy !req
544. - I-I'm with you guys.Copy !req
545. I don't know
what he was thinking.Copy !req
546. - You too.Copy !req
547. - Mm.
Come on, boys.Copy !req
548. - Sarah?Copy !req
549. Would you please sit down
and have dinnerCopy !req
550. with the rest of us?
- Nope.Copy !req
551. - He didn't mean all that.Copy !req
552. - You sure?
- He's 14, he was lashing out.Copy !req
553. I'm not saying that
that makes it acceptable,Copy !req
554. but we can't take everything
he says at face value.Copy !req
555. - Then how am I supposed
to know what he needs?Copy !req
556. - All I'm saying is,
maybe figure out the reasonCopy !req
557. behind Jordan's anger
and address that.Copy !req
558. - You going somewhere?
- Yeah.Copy !req
559. Turns out, Miss Powell's sonCopy !req
560. isn't the only worker
who's gone missing.Copy !req
561. There's three other employees
I can't account for.Copy !req
562. - So you were right?
- Looks like it.Copy !req
563. We're meeting in New Carthage
to go over it all.Copy !req
564. So, um,Copy !req
565. I'm gonna need
to borrow your truck.Copy !req
566. - You gonna bring it back?Copy !req
567. - 50/50.Copy !req
568. - You glad Dad found out?Copy !req
569. Now you can just go back
to hanging out with SarahCopy !req
570. and listening to El-P remix
Morrissey, or whatever.Copy !req
571. - Morrissey's a xenophobic
has-been.Copy !req
572. - Well, you hate football,
right?Copy !req
573. So who cares?Copy !req
574. You don't have
to pretend anymore.Copy !req
575. - Yeah.Copy !req
576. - You were right.Copy !req
577. I-I should've said something.Copy !req
578. That's my bad, I know I'm not
a perfect person.Copy !req
579. Trust me.
We all make mistakes.Copy !req
580. - Yeah, but what if Jordan
joining the teamCopy !req
581. wasn't a mistake?Copy !req
582. - Not sure I see your point.Copy !req
583. - Trust me, this—this feels
really weird to say,Copy !req
584. but maybe Jordan
needs football.Copy !req
585. I mean, he's been
a really messed up kidCopy !req
586. for a really long time.Copy !req
587. And, I don't know,Copy !req
588. what if joining
the team's a good thing?Copy !req
589. - I appreciate you sticking up
for your brother—Copy !req
590. - No, look,
it's not even like that.Copy !req
591. You should've seen him
out there, he's making friends.Copy !req
592. He's been happy for the first
time in... forever.Copy !req
593. - Jonathan,Copy !req
594. there's nothing I want more
than for you guys to be happy,Copy !req
595. but we have to be careful.Copy !req
596. And him using his strength
like this, it—Copy !req
597. it could raise suspicion.Copy !req
598. - Yeah, but he doesn't have
super strength like you.Copy !req
599. That's what Jor-El Debarge
said, right?Copy !req
600. - Just because his strength
isn't like mineCopy !req
601. doesn't mean it's not elevated.Copy !req
602. - Okay, so maybe that puts him
on the levelCopy !req
603. of the other kids.Copy !req
604. Okay, maybe he's
a little stronger,Copy !req
605. but maybe that does
even the playing fieldCopy !req
606. for a kid his size.Copy !req
607. - You don't know that.
- Neither do you.Copy !req
608. I know that having powers
is a total game changer,Copy !req
609. but what's the point of having
something specialCopy !req
610. if you're not actually
allowed to be special?Copy !req
611. - Sharon?Copy !req
612. - And we'll find out what joke
made her laugh hardest,Copy !req
613. next on
"The Whitty Banter Show."Copy !req
614. Ah, that won't help you.Copy !req
615. - No, but he will.Copy !req
616. - Sharon?Copy !req
617. Sharon.Copy !req
618. - Sharon, wake up.Copy !req
619. Sharon?Copy !req
620. Sharon?
Superman!Copy !req
621. Superman!Copy !req
622. - He's gone.
Are you okay?Copy !req
623. - She's barely breathing.Copy !req
624. You need to take her
to the hospital.Copy !req
625. I'll be fine.Copy !req
626. - Come in.Copy !req
627. - I heard about Sean.Copy !req
628. - Nothing travels faster
than Smallville gossip.Copy !req
629. - Honey, I'm here
if you want to talk about it.Copy !req
630. - I'm fine.Copy !req
631. - I just can't tell anymore.Copy !req
632. Ever since last summer,Copy !req
633. I have no idea if I might
lose you forever.Copy !req
634. I'm okay, Mom.Copy !req
635. I promise.Copy !req
636. - Just, we used to be so close.Copy !req
637. And now, there's this distance.Copy !req
638. And when am I gonna know
that you're really okay?Copy !req
639. - 'Cause I'll tell you.Copy !req
640. I've been telling you the truth
this whole time.Copy !req
641. - Not about why it happened.Copy !req
642. Honey, you can quit cheer,Copy !req
643. and you can keep me at arm's
distance if you want,Copy !req
644. but please, I need to know
why it happened.Copy !req
645. - I just felt trapped.Copy !req
646. By this town,Copy !req
647. by this family.Copy !req
648. Everything was getting so bad,Copy !req
649. and I just never saw
myself escaping.Copy !req
650. It's like the only future
that I saw for myself was...Copy !req
651. a life that I didn't want.Copy !req
652. - You saw yourself
turning into me.Copy !req
653. - That's not what I meant.
- No, it's okay.Copy !req
654. It's true.Copy !req
655. I'm the most full-of-crap lady
in Smallville.Copy !req
656. - And most days,
when I'm smiling,Copy !req
657. that's not how I feel inside.Copy !req
658. I feel lost.Copy !req
659. - Why do you pretend?Copy !req
660. It's how I was raised.Copy !req
661. "Always smile
at your neighbor."Copy !req
662. "Never let them seeCopy !req
663. the hurt inside."Copy !req
664. - I don't really think
that's healthy.Copy !req
665. I think you're right.Copy !req
666. Do you know what kind of life
would make you happy?Copy !req
667. - I don't know.Copy !req
668. I guess I'm... figuring it out.Copy !req
669. - Yeah, me too.Copy !req
670. Come here.Copy !req
671. I love you so much.Copy !req
672. - So is creepy lurking
one of your superpowers now?Copy !req
673. - Come on.Copy !req
674. I wanna show you something.Copy !req
675. When I was in ninth grade,Copy !req
676. I wanted to try out
for the baseball team,Copy !req
677. but my dad didn't let me.Copy !req
678. I begged him over and over,
but...Copy !req
679. he always said no.Copy !req
680. - So you never even tried out?Copy !req
681. - I came close.Copy !req
682. You know, showed up
at the field and everything.Copy !req
683. But...Copy !req
684. at the last minute, I realizedCopy !req
685. one of the main reasons
I wanted to try outCopy !req
686. didn't have anything
to do with baseball.Copy !req
687. - Was it a girl?Copy !req
688. - It's always a girl.Copy !req
689. So did you regret not playing?Copy !req
690. - Yeah, I did.Copy !req
691. It's been over 20 years
and I still think about it.Copy !req
692. Which is why I need you
to be very honest with me.Copy !req
693. Is playing football something
that you really want?Copy !req
694. - To be honest, at first,Copy !req
695. I wasn't sure or anything,Copy !req
696. but these last couple of days,Copy !req
697. they've—they've kind of
just been incredible.Copy !req
698. - And you're sure you can keep
your powers under control?Copy !req
699. - Yes.
I'm—Copy !req
700. I don't know how to explain it,
it's just a feeling.Copy !req
701. I guess you would know.Copy !req
702. - Yeah.Copy !req
703. Yeah, I think I do.Copy !req
704. - Wait.
Does this mean I can play?Copy !req
705. - It does.
- Really?Copy !req
706. - Yes, but...Copy !req
707. there's one last thing
we have to talk about.Copy !req
708. - You wanna be
an assistant coach?Copy !req
709. - I just want to help out.
I don't know if you know this,Copy !req
710. but I was actually the team
manager back in high school.Copy !req
711. - Linkedln resume
notwithstanding,Copy !req
712. you're a little late.Copy !req
713. We've been staffed up
since the summer.Copy !req
714. - Well, you see, the thing is,
with both my boysCopy !req
715. on the team now, I'd really
just like to find a wayCopy !req
716. to spend more time with them.Copy !req
717. - Take 'em camping.Copy !req
718. Rent a canoe.Copy !req
719. Make some s'mores.Copy !req
720. - Look, I promise,
I won't get in the way.Copy !req
721. I'll do whatever job you need.Copy !req
722. - Not to mention,
he'll work for free.Copy !req
723. - You should've started
with that, Kent.Copy !req
724. - Oh.Copy !req
725. - Welcome to the team.Copy !req
726. Bring that cooler,
meet me on the sidelines.Copy !req
727. - Thanks for the assist.Copy !req
728. - You sure about this?Copy !req
729. - No.Copy !req
730. But I've gotta try.Copy !req
731. - All right, I gotta run.Copy !req
732. See you later, Coach.Copy !req
733. - So your dad did a 180
on the whole football thing?Copy !req
734. - Got a little help from Jon.Copy !req
735. - Well, I can neither confirm
nor deny,Copy !req
736. but I will say that—Copy !req
737. let's just assume
you owe me now.Copy !req
738. - Jonathan, you ready?
- Yeah, oh.Copy !req
739. See you guys later.
- Bye!Copy !req
740. Um, so,Copy !req
741. Friday's gonna be
your first game?Copy !req
742. - Yeah, um...Copy !req
743. you quit the cheer team,
are you still gonna go?Copy !req
744. Do you want me to?Copy !req
745. - I mean—
- Yeah!Copy !req
746. Yeah, that—it—Copy !req
747. it might be fun to see
as a bystander.Copy !req
748. Your dad seems like
he's really struggling.Copy !req
749. - Oh, yeah, Dad's the new
assistant coach.Copy !req
750. - Do you need any help,
Mr. Kent?Copy !req
751. Oh, hey, Sarah.Copy !req
752. Oh, I'm great.Copy !req
753. Hey, Coach gave me a jacketCopy !req
754. and I bought a hat!Copy !req
755. - Uh, um...
- I—Copy !req
756. - I'll s—
- Have fun at practice, guys.Copy !req
757. - See you, Sarah.Copy !req
758. - Hey, looks like you guys
are getting along, huh?Copy !req
759. - All right, all right,
all right.Copy !req
760. Just pretend like you need
my help with this, all right?Copy !req
761. - All right, yeah.
I'm really, really—Copy !req
762. ow!
Too much, little too big?Copy !req
763. - Little too much.
- All right.Copy !req
764. - Lois?
I need to apologize to you.Copy !req
765. I mean, after what happened
to Sharon Powell last night,Copy !req
766. I feel like such an idiot.Copy !req
767. - Chrissy—
- No, it's just—Copy !req
768. I've never had something like
this fall on my lap before.Copy !req
769. Stories this important
don't usually happenCopy !req
770. in Smallville.Copy !req
771. - But, see,
that's where I was wrong.Copy !req
772. Stories like this happen
in small towns everywhere,Copy !req
773. and stories
that need to be told,Copy !req
774. but they get missed because
there aren't enough reportersCopy !req
775. looking for them.Copy !req
776. - Come on, let me show you
what I've been working on.Copy !req
777. - Where'd you get this?Copy !req
778. - From the gas station
near the motel.Copy !req
779. This feels big, doesn't it?Copy !req
780. - Yeah.Copy !req
781. Now it's up to us
to put it all together.Copy !req
782. Who are you, and why
is a person with powersCopy !req
783. working for Morgan Edge?Copy !req
784. - No, Superman
saved Powell's mother.Copy !req
785. Well, how's Larr
gonna take care of it?Copy !req
786. - It's done.Copy !req
787. I'll call the team.Copy !req
