1. Previously on
Superman & Lois...
Copy !req
2. Let's just focus on
what we came here for. Family.
Copy !req
3. Smallville team needs a strong leader,
Copy !req
4. and I'd like to
fill that role with you, Lana.
Copy !req
5. Something sinister is going on here.
Copy !req
6. Edge is giving people
Kryptonian powers,
Copy !req
7. at the same time
some armored lunatic arrives
Copy !req
8. who knows Superman's real name?
Copy !req
9. We need to stop Kal-El before he does
to this world what he did to mine.
Copy !req
10. Your abilities are evolving.
Copy !req
11. You can heal faster,
but you can still get hurt.
Copy !req
12. Clark!
Copy !req
13. I have to get him
to the Fortress.
Copy !req
14. The quiet in here should help.
Copy !req
15. I think Jordan's hearing kicked in.
Copy !req
16. Yes, his mechanosensations
have become significantly enhanced.
Copy !req
17. How do we stop the pain?
Copy !req
18. His auditory perception's causing
an allodynic response.
Copy !req
19. Until he can control what he hears,
Copy !req
20. every sound will be accompanied by pain.
Copy !req
21. - I have to help him.
- Teach him how to focus.
Copy !req
22. Share what you know.
Copy !req
23. But it will take
much practice on his part,
Copy !req
24. the same as it did for you, Kal-El.
Copy !req
25. How long till the super-hearing
levels out?
Copy !req
26. My father said
he has to adapt on his own.
Copy !req
27. How long were you out of commission for?
Copy !req
28. A couple weeks.
Copy !req
29. So now let me guess, I have to come up
with another B.S. excuse
Copy !req
30. as to why he's not going to school?
Copy !req
31. I'll call Principal Balcomb
first thing in the morning, okay?
Copy !req
32. You two should get to bed.
Copy !req
33. Jordan...
Copy !req
34. We'll work on this tomorrow.
Copy !req
35. Hey, hey.
Copy !req
36. - He was in so much pain.
- I know. I know.
Copy !req
37. Once it settles in, he'll be fine.
Copy !req
38. Promise.
Copy !req
39. Listen, I know
we already went over this,
Copy !req
40. but is there anything in particular
I should be looking out for?
Copy !req
41. If Edge is making people with powers,
he's not doing it out in the open.
Copy !req
42. So kind of just anything
out of the ordinary?
Copy !req
43. Buildings, machines, invoices even...
Copy !req
44. Okay. And is there a way to tell
if someone already has powers?
Copy !req
45. Not really.
Copy !req
46. But we do know
that Leslie Larr has powers,
Copy !req
47. so it's safe to assume
that other people do, too.
Copy !req
48. Lana, I don't want you doing anything
Copy !req
49. that makes you feel
even remotely unsafe.
Copy !req
50. No, I want to help.
I'll call you if I find anything.
Copy !req
51. Thanks. Bye.
Copy !req
52. Who is this?
Copy !req
53. The real Marcus Bridgewater.
Copy !req
54. - So the guy from the mines...
- Lied.
Copy !req
55. Even tried to cover his tracks
by scrubbing
Copy !req
56. all images of Marcus Bridgewater
from the Internet.
Copy !req
57. Luckily, Maxy still has a friend
at Reuters who had a photo.
Copy !req
58. - So why is he lying about his identity?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
59. I mean, it probably has something to do
Copy !req
60. with the fact that
he knows so much about Edge.
Copy !req
61. So two people working for Edge
have attacked you
Copy !req
62. and both have had powers.
Copy !req
63. Yeah, I'm sure there are others.
Copy !req
64. Yeah. Which is why I think
we should tell the boys what's going on.
Copy !req
65. Well, that's a pretty big departure
Copy !req
66. from not wanting them
to know anything about Superman.
Copy !req
67. Well, hindsight,
maybe that wasn't the best choice.
Copy !req
68. This feels different.
Copy !req
69. The whole point of moving to Smallville
Copy !req
70. was to give them a shot at
a normal life, not terrify them.
Copy !req
71. I know, I know, but...
Copy !req
72. Plus Jordan has this stuff
going on with the hearing.
Copy !req
73. And Jonathan hasn't made any friends.
Copy !req
74. Doesn't feel fair to give them
one more thing to worry about.
Copy !req
75. I think they can handle this.
Copy !req
76. I still think that we need to know more
Copy !req
77. about what we're dealing with,
and then we can discuss it.
Copy !req
78. Okay.
Copy !req
79. - Where you going?
- To confront the former Mr. Bridgewater.
Copy !req
80. Will you stay close by today?
Copy !req
81. I have a feeling
I'm gonna need your help.
Copy !req
82. Yeah.
Copy !req
83. Why have you not ID'd
Lane's friend from the mines?
Copy !req
84. Believe me, I've looked.
Copy !req
85. We have no matches
from the security footage.
Copy !req
86. The guy's a ghost.
Copy !req
87. A very well-armed ghost.
Copy !req
88. Between him, Lane and Superman,
Copy !req
89. how are we supposed to get
the X-Kryptonite out of the mines?
Copy !req
90. Maybe we use that to our advantage.
Copy !req
91. Send out a small shipment,
see who comes for it.
Copy !req
92. The intel we get in return
could prove invaluable.
Copy !req
93. A small fragment only. And Leslie...
Copy !req
94. No more failures.
Copy !req
95. Oh, sorry, I was just about to knock.
Copy !req
96. Don't mind her. Shall we walk?
Copy !req
97. So you want me to create
what kind of program?
Copy !req
98. A leadership program.
Copy !req
99. I'm looking for people with passion
who, like you, have untapped potential
Copy !req
100. and are ready to take that first step.
Copy !req
101. First step towards what, exactly?
Copy !req
102. Achieving their best selves.
Copy !req
103. Thought you'd have known that by now.
Copy !req
104. Okay. And how many candidates
were you looking for?
Copy !req
105. Why don't we start with five
and go from there.
Copy !req
106. I'm expecting
great things from you, Lana.
Copy !req
107. You can do this.
Copy !req
108. It hurts.
Copy !req
109. I know, but you're going to
have to work through it.
Copy !req
110. Okay? One sound at a time.
Copy !req
111. Come on.
Copy !req
112. I can't do it. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
113. Jordan, Jordan.
Copy !req
114. We'll just try tomorrow or something.
Copy !req
115. Audio is fully operational.
Copy !req
116. It's good to be back, sir.
Copy !req
117. You're still only at 30%.
Copy !req
118. Perhaps you'll consider that next time
before crushing me to smithereens.
Copy !req
119. Lois Lane.
Copy !req
120. Hello, guy who is not
Marcus Bridgewater.
Copy !req
121. How about you come inside
and we talk about it?
Copy !req
122. Yeah. That's a hard pass on me
entering your creeper-mobile.
Copy !req
123. That's unfair, and pretty hurtful.
Copy !req
124. Meet me at Victoria May's in an hour.
Copy !req
125. And get ready to tell the truth.
Copy !req
126. Otherwise, this little
team-up of ours is done.
Copy !req
127. What are you thinking about this early?
Copy !req
128. Same thing as last night.
Copy !req
129. You are playing with fire.
Copy !req
130. Ugh! Childhood ruined!
Therapy needed.
Copy !req
131. Thanks a lot, Mom and Dad.
Copy !req
132. Hey, Nat-bug.
Copy !req
133. Look, I'm not gonna be tardy
Copy !req
134. just because you two
can't stop being disgusting.
Copy !req
135. Whoa. It's not disgusting, though.
This is a loving display of affection...
Copy !req
136. "Affection," yeah, I know.
Copy !req
137. You know why I know? Because you two are
the most affectionate people
Copy !req
138. I've ever seen in my life.
Copy !req
139. What's Superman doing?
Copy !req
140. And who's he with?
Copy !req
141. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
142. Yo, Cushing, hey...
Copy !req
143. I didn't see you at lunch today.
Is everything all right?
Copy !req
144. Maybe you should tell me.
Why isn't Jordan at school today?
Copy !req
145. He's not really feeling well.
Copy !req
146. - Great.
- Hey, hold on, hold on.
Copy !req
147. What's going on?
Copy !req
148. - You're lying to me.
- About Jordan being sick?
Copy !req
149. You know what happened last night
with Tag and you're acting as though
Copy !req
150. Jordan not coming to school is...
It's kind of weird.
Copy !req
151. Yeah. Sarah. Sarah. Hey, look,
I know what happened with Tag, okay?
Copy !req
152. And I'm sorry. It's really messed up.
Copy !req
153. But Jordan had nothing to do with that.
Copy !req
154. - That's not what Tag said.
- What, because of some stupid video?
Copy !req
155. Did you even watch it?
Copy !req
156. Seriously, look, I mean,
there's absolutely no way
Copy !req
157. that Jordan gave Tag powers or whatever.
Copy !req
158. And also, truth be told,
the reason that Jordan's not at school
Copy !req
159. is because Tag jumped him the other day.
Copy !req
160. And it totally messed him up.
Copy !req
161. And now he's having
these terrible headaches.
Copy !req
162. That's why he had bruises on his face.
Copy !req
163. Why didn't he just tell me?
Copy !req
164. I don't know.
I guess he didn't want you to worry.
Copy !req
165. See? He's not such a bad guy.
Copy !req
166. - Yeah.
- And also, yeah, I broke my wrist.
Copy !req
167. Thanks for asking. It really sucks.
Copy !req
168. Jonathan.
Copy !req
169. Jonathan.
Copy !req
170. I got to say I don't love the idea
of leaving you alone with him.
Copy !req
171. Well, get used to it because he's here.
Copy !req
172. - What exactly am I looking for?
- You'll know it when you see it.
Copy !req
173. Here. Wish me luck.
Copy !req
174. Good luck
Copy !req
175. I ordered you a trenta green tea
with a splash of almond milk.
Copy !req
176. It's what you got last time.
Copy !req
177. I think it's time we moved
past favorite drinks
Copy !req
178. and actually got to know each other.
Copy !req
179. Absolutely.
Copy !req
180. Great. I'll go first. You've been
lying to me ever since we first met.
Copy !req
181. You're wrong about that.
Copy !req
182. I mean, obviously, not the name part,
but everything else is true.
Copy !req
183. Then who are you?
Copy !req
184. It's complicated.
Copy !req
185. You better start boiling it down.
Copy !req
186. Welcome back, Captain.
Copy !req
187. How was your conversation
with Lois Lane?
Copy !req
188. Captain Luthor?
Copy !req
189. Telling you who I am
will only confuse things.
Copy !req
190. What's important is you understand
what Edge is really planning.
Copy !req
191. I know he's making people with powers.
Copy !req
192. Not people. An army.
Copy !req
193. - An army to do what?
- Take over the world.
Copy !req
194. Metropolis will be
the first city to fall.
Copy !req
195. - You seem awfully sure of that.
- Because it's the truth.
Copy !req
196. And why should I believe you?
Copy !req
197. - Hey.
- Okay.
Copy !req
198. So, I have a contact
in shipping at Edge's mines.
Copy !req
199. Well, not really a contact,
Copy !req
200. more like an ex
who really never got over me.
Copy !req
201. Chrissy.
Copy !req
202. Edge is about to send
a shipment out.
Copy !req
203. Do you think it's X-Kryptonite?
Copy !req
204. Only one way to find out.
Thanks, boss.
Copy !req
205. We'll have to pick this up some
other time. Something came up.
Copy !req
206. Lois, this is serious.
I need to speak with Superman.
Copy !req
207. Maybe when we're on
a first name basis.
Copy !req
208. That was fast.
Copy !req
209. Chrissy called.
Looks like Edge is on the move.
Copy !req
210. Any luck with the RV?
Copy !req
211. You were right about knowing it
when I found it.
Copy !req
212. It seems we have a problem.
Copy !req
213. Lois will come around.
Copy !req
214. I was referring to the intruder.
Copy !req
215. Intruder? In here?
Copy !req
216. Yes, Captain. I managed to capture
an image in front of the monitors.
Copy !req
217. That's her husband.
Copy !req
218. Is he a threat?
Copy !req
219. No, he's not important.
Copy !req
220. There's also been
a development at the mines.
Copy !req
221. Satellite imaging
is showing increased activity.
Copy !req
222. That's what her call was about.
Copy !req
223. Pull it up.
Copy !req
224. Emily? Hi! Take a seat.
Copy !req
225. But, what are you doing here?
Copy !req
226. Well, I was just told that
you're the one I'm supposed to talk to
Copy !req
227. about the Young Executive program.
Copy !req
228. Yes.
Copy !req
229. Yeah, I'm actually just starting
to get into all that now.
Copy !req
230. Well, listen, I know I've been out
of the workforce for a while
Copy !req
231. but, you know,
we couldn't afford child care,
Copy !req
232. and now that Avery's in high school...
Copy !req
233. Oh, no, no, no. You do not need
to defend being a mother to me.
Copy !req
234. Good, because I really want this, Lana.
Copy !req
235. This is a chance for me
to make a better life for my family.
Copy !req
236. Just like what you're doing.
Copy !req
237. There are trade-offs.
Copy !req
238. I mean, there are things
you might not be aware of.
Copy !req
239. Oh, you don't have to pretend
like this job isn't a big deal.
Copy !req
240. It's obvious.
Copy !req
241. I'm just asking for someone to take
a chance on me like they did with you.
Copy !req
242. I appreciate that.
Copy !req
243. Let me see what I can do.
Copy !req
244. But no promises.
Copy !req
245. Thank you, Lana.
Thank you so much.
Copy !req
246. Of course.
Copy !req
247. Nice to see you.
Copy !req
248. - Good to see you.
- Bye.
Copy !req
249. Could he actually be Lex Luthor?
Copy !req
250. I don't know, but with everything
we know about the Multiverse now,
Copy !req
251. I'd say anything's possible.
Copy !req
252. Like what?
He's related to Lex somehow?
Copy !req
253. Maybe his son we don't know about.
Copy !req
254. Well, he said he worked for LuthorCorp,
that can't just be a coincidence.
Copy !req
255. Yeah, and Lex wouldn't be
the first public figure
Copy !req
256. trying to keep his family
hidden from the world.
Copy !req
257. I'll have Chrissy look into it.
Are they still up ahead?
Copy !req
258. Yeah, about two miles up.
Copy !req
259. It looks like they've got an escort.
Copy !req
260. It's a panel van with four guys
with guns inside, couple cars back.
Copy !req
261. It seems on brand for Edge.
Copy !req
262. - What do you wanna do?
- Just keep following.
Copy !req
263. I'm gonna see where they're
taking the X-Kryptonite.
Copy !req
264. I don't think that's gonna happen.
Copy !req
265. What is it?
Copy !req
266. Definitely starting to think
your new friend is a Luthor.
Copy !req
267. Hey, guys.
We've got someone in the road up here.
Copy !req
268. Be ready.
Copy !req
269. Locked and loaded boys.
It's go-time.
Copy !req
270. Things are gonna get ugly
if I don't do something.
Copy !req
271. Out of the truck.
Get out of the truck!
Copy !req
272. Turn around. Get on your knees.
Copy !req
273. What the hell?
Copy !req
274. We have a problem.
Copy !req
275. Don't move.
Copy !req
276. What are you doing?
Copy !req
277. I assume the same thing you are.
Copy !req
278. No, we were following the truck
hoping to find out where it was headed,
Copy !req
279. which now we'll never know
since you decided to go full-on Rambo.
Copy !req
280. Couldn't risk letting this get
to where it was going.
Copy !req
281. Because that's what Edge
is going to use to build his army.
Copy !req
282. - So you believe me now?
- Enough games.
Copy !req
283. Tell us what you know.
Copy !req
284. Fine. Follow me.
Copy !req
285. You sure showed that locker.
Copy !req
286. Yeah...
Copy !req
287. Had it coming.
Copy !req
288. Uh, hi.
Copy !req
289. If the zipper gets stuck,
Copy !req
290. maybe you should try
talking to it first.
Copy !req
291. Nothing good ever comes from anger.
Copy !req
292. Right. Yeah, yeah, sure.
Copy !req
293. I mean, I'm not gonna, like,
talk to my backpack.
Copy !req
294. That's... That's weird.
Copy !req
295. - Right.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
296. I'll see you around, new guy.
Copy !req
297. No, no, no, no.
Copy !req
298. Jonathan, no! Not Tegan Wickhem.
Copy !req
299. She's way out of your league.
Copy !req
300. That's a bit presumptuous.
Copy !req
301. And besides,
how do you know what my league is?
Copy !req
302. I know it's not her.
Copy !req
303. Look, I came over here to apologize.
Copy !req
304. I didn't mean to accuse you
of lying or Jordan of...
Copy !req
305. I don't know.
Copy !req
306. It's cool.
Copy !req
307. No, it's not.
I'm really worried about Tag.
Copy !req
308. He's my friend.
Copy !req
309. And you and Jordan are the only people
who know what really happened, so.
Copy !req
310. Yeah, I know. It's a lot.
Keeping a secret like that.
Copy !req
311. I know.
Copy !req
312. not being the only one
who knows about this helps.
Copy !req
313. Guess I'm pretty lucky to have you.
Copy !req
314. I guess I've been in Smallville
long enough to know that
Copy !req
315. you're different than everyone else.
Copy !req
316. Really? How so?
Copy !req
317. I don't know. Just...
Copy !req
318. Just like more real, I guess.
Copy !req
319. I can tell you hold a lot
of stuff inside and I get that.
Copy !req
320. I get how hard that can be.
Copy !req
321. So, I guess what I'm saying is
that if you ever need someone
Copy !req
322. to share that with,
Copy !req
323. I'm always here.
Copy !req
324. Wow, you're kind of
in a better league than I thought.
Copy !req
325. If Edge is using X-Kryptonite
to build an army,
Copy !req
326. why would he send
such a small shipment?
Copy !req
327. Probably wanted to see
who'd come for it.
Copy !req
328. Well, now that he knows,
what's his next move?
Copy !req
329. It's hard to say.
But we need to be ready.
Copy !req
330. Ready how?
Copy !req
331. That's what I was trying
to tell you earlier.
Copy !req
332. You want to meet Superman.
Copy !req
333. It's the only way to stop this.
Copy !req
334. Dad, wake up! Dad?
Copy !req
335. Dad wake up. Dad?
Copy !req
336. Hmm?
Copy !req
337. Where's your mom?
Copy !req
338. Coming to you live
from downtown Metropolis
Copy !req
339. reporting on the scene,
here's Lois Lane.
Copy !req
340. You want answers?
Copy !req
341. I'm willing to tell Superman everything.
Copy !req
342. I am not in the habit of just
connecting him with people.
Copy !req
343. I'm thinking the possible end of
the world might warrant an exception.
Copy !req
344. Okay. But I want something from you.
Copy !req
345. That.
Copy !req
346. The Kryptonians want you to think
that they're indestructible.
Copy !req
347. They're not.
Copy !req
348. They have a weakness, it is a rock from
their home planet called Kryptonite.
Copy !req
349. Find it, so that we can defeat them.
Copy !req
350. I told her not to do this.
Copy !req
351. And we must defeat them
if we are to save humanity.
Copy !req
352. For that is what separates us from them.
Copy !req
353. Our humanity.
Copy !req
354. Mom!
Copy !req
355. Okay.
Copy !req
356. But I need to know one thing first.
Copy !req
357. Do you trust him?
Copy !req
358. With my life.
Copy !req
359. I love you both.
Copy !req
360. I thought you'd say that.
Copy !req
361. Set up the meet.
Copy !req
362. All right, I'm gonna meet Chrissy.
Copy !req
363. See if I can establish any connection
between our guy and Lex.
Copy !req
364. Yeah. I guess
it's still our only lead.
Copy !req
365. Maybe not.
Copy !req
366. You said the voice in the RV
called him Captain.
Copy !req
367. Right. So he's military.
Copy !req
368. Which is why I want you
to take that to the DOD for processing.
Copy !req
369. - What?
- Nothing. Just... It has his prints.
Copy !req
370. You know, you're really good at this.
Copy !req
371. You better get moving, Superman.
Copy !req
372. We don't have much time
before your meeting.
Copy !req
373. Right.
Copy !req
374. Do you believe
Kal-El will come?
Copy !req
375. I do.
Copy !req
376. And we need to be ready.
Copy !req
377. It's smaller than I imagined.
Copy !req
378. Couldn't have done it
without you, Nat-bug.
Copy !req
379. So I can be out there with you
when you're kicking ass.
Copy !req
380. You really think
it can take one of 'em out?
Copy !req
381. Only one way to know for sure.
Copy !req
382. Hey.
Copy !req
383. What were you talking
to Sarah about earlier?
Copy !req
384. What? Are you...
Are you spying on me?
Copy !req
385. Wow.
Copy !req
386. Just answer the question.
Copy !req
387. I was talking to her
like a normal human being.
Copy !req
388. But that's not what it sounded like.
Copy !req
389. Are you being serious right now?
Copy !req
390. I've been covering your ass all day
and now what,
Copy !req
391. now you think I'm trying
to move in on your not girlfriend?
Copy !req
392. It's not a denial.
Copy !req
393. I have had your back.
Copy !req
394. Every time someone has called you dumb,
or weird, or stupid, or awkward,
Copy !req
395. and guess what, Jordan,
I never believed any of it.
Copy !req
396. I never believed any of it
because it's not true.
Copy !req
397. You're just a terrible person.
Don't ever spy on me again.
Copy !req
398. Impressive bunch
you've assembled.
Copy !req
399. Well, there's no shortage of
good people in Smallville.
Copy !req
400. And yet one spot remains.
Copy !req
401. One spot...
Copy !req
402. Just getting through
the last of the resumes.
Copy !req
403. Is that it, or...
Copy !req
404. Is there something
you're not telling me?
Copy !req
405. Um...
Copy !req
406. I don't understand.
Copy !req
407. I just thought perhaps you were hoping
Copy !req
408. I'd select someone
a little closer to home.
Copy !req
409. You mean Kyle?
Copy !req
410. I believe he'd be more than interested.
Copy !req
411. Of course, but he's the chief
of the Fire Department.
Copy !req
412. Arrangements could be made.
Copy !req
413. I'm sure.
Copy !req
414. And it would be an amazing opportunity.
Copy !req
415. But it would be a lot
to juggle with our girls.
Copy !req
416. I understand, but we are short on time.
Copy !req
417. I look forward to hearing your decision.
Copy !req
418. Luthor's biographer says
there is no way he has a son.
Copy !req
419. Maybe a cousin or distant relative.
Copy !req
420. She walked me through every branch
of the Luthor family tree.
Copy !req
421. Our guy is definitely not on it.
Copy !req
422. Interesting place for a meet.
Copy !req
423. I'm a builder.
Copy !req
424. Always felt comfortable
in places like this,
Copy !req
425. surrounded by scraps and parts.
Copy !req
426. Building's a noble profession.
Copy !req
427. Been a while since
anyone's paid me to do it.
Copy !req
428. Any chance one of those
people was Lex Luthor?
Copy !req
429. It was a different life.
Copy !req
430. Why are we really here?
Copy !req
431. Because the world's about
to be destroyed unless I save it.
Copy !req
432. It's the DOD.
Copy !req
433. Hey, Rosetti. What'd you find?
Copy !req
434. You say this guy's been
creeping around Smallville?
Copy !req
435. How exactly are you
planning on saving the world?
Copy !req
436. By eliminating the threat.
Copy !req
437. You think that threat is Morgan Edge?
Copy !req
438. Edge is involved.
Copy !req
439. But he won't be
the main source of destruction.
Copy !req
440. Then who will it be?
Copy !req
441. Thing is,
the prints you had us pull
Copy !req
442. are from a guy who died six years ago.
Copy !req
443. And his name's not Luthor.
It's John Henry Irons.
Copy !req
444. Give me your keys,
I need your car.
Copy !req
445. You're the Stranger.
Copy !req
446. I had a feeling you might try that.
Copy !req
447. So I set these solar flares
Copy !req
448. to a motion detector.
Copy !req
449. Why are you doing this?
Copy !req
450. Like I said,
I'm here to save the world.
Copy !req
451. You see, Kal-El,
you're not the Man of Steel.
Copy !req
452. I am.
Copy !req
453. That looks like it hurt.
Copy !req
454. This hammer harnesses kinetic energy.
Copy !req
455. The further it travels,
the more energy it creates.
Copy !req
456. From 20 feet, it can stop a car
in its tracks.
Copy !req
457. Thirty? A truck.
Copy !req
458. From 60, it can destroy a tank.
Copy !req
459. Anything beyond that
rivals a blow from Superman.
Copy !req
460. Argh!
Copy !req
461. - Miss Larr?
- Superman's gonna be busy for a while.
Copy !req
462. Send the shipment.
Copy !req
463. Is that
all you have, Kal-El?
Copy !req
464. Jon...
Copy !req
465. Hey, Jordan, Jordan, hey.
Copy !req
466. Jon, I think someone's
trying to kill Dad.
Copy !req
467. What? Where?
Copy !req
468. Clark, his name is
John Henry Irons.
Copy !req
469. I think he's the Stranger.
Copy !req
470. Clark!
Copy !req
471. Hey, you're gonna have to go faster,
all right? Dad doesn't have much time.
Copy !req
472. Jordan, I've only driven
Mom's car before.
Copy !req
473. Please, just tell me
which way to go.
Copy !req
474. It's so loud.
Copy !req
475. Whenever you were listening
to me and Sarah at school earlier,
Copy !req
476. whatever it was,
just please do that, please.
Copy !req
477. Jordan, please focus, please.
Copy !req
478. You're wrong about me.
Copy !req
479. That way!
That way, that way, that way!
Copy !req
480. This hero act of yours,
it's all propaganda.
Copy !req
481. A way to soften up the masses
before you turn on them.
Copy !req
482. I made a promise to kill you once.
Copy !req
483. I wasn't able to keep that promise
on my Earth,
Copy !req
484. but I will here.
Copy !req
485. Lights.
Copy !req
486. - What?
- The lights!
Copy !req
487. Stop!
Copy !req
488. It's over. It's over.
Copy !req
489. So, this guy came back
from the dead to try and kill you?
Copy !req
490. Wouldn't be the first time.
Copy !req
491. Want Trask to take a run at him?
Try and loosen him up.
Copy !req
492. Nobody talks to him until General Lane
gets here in the morning.
Copy !req
493. And when he does,
I'm going in first.
Copy !req
494. - I'll get it.
- Thanks, sweets.
Copy !req
495. - Hey, Sophie.
- My mom's right in here.
Copy !req
496. Hey, Emily.
Copy !req
497. I got the job.
Copy !req
498. Morgan Edge called me himself.
Copy !req
499. I am starting tomorrow.
Copy !req
500. Emily, I didn't...
Copy !req
501. Oh, no, you don't
have to take credit.
Copy !req
502. I totally know it was you.
Copy !req
503. Mr. Edge even said,
seeing you and I together
Copy !req
504. is what convinced him to choose me.
Copy !req
505. Listen, Avery and Duke are in the car.
Copy !req
506. I just wanted to come by
and say thank you.
Copy !req
507. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
508. You have changed my life, Lana.
Copy !req
509. This better be good news.
Copy !req
510. The X-Kryptonite
just arrived at the facility.
Copy !req
511. Everything's ready to move forward.
Copy !req
512. So your plan worked.
Copy !req
513. Even better than I anticipated.
Copy !req
514. Lucky you.
Copy !req
515. Were you able to find enough subjekts?
Copy !req
516. Yes, but there's no guarantee
they'll be receptive hosts.
Copy !req
517. You're still the only one
who hasn't shown any signs of rejection.
Copy !req
518. Guess you have to break a few eggs
to make an omelette.
Copy !req
519. Indeed.
Copy !req
520. And now we have our eggs.
Copy !req
521. DOD has John Irons on lockdown.
Copy !req
522. We'll start the interrogations tomorrow.
Copy !req
523. I should have figured it out sooner.
Copy !req
524. Lois, come on,
you can't be that hard on yourself.
Copy !req
525. Supposed to be this incredible reporter,
Copy !req
526. but I got fooled tonight,
and someone almost murdered my husband.
Copy !req
527. It's not that simple.
Copy !req
528. I mean, the guy's
from another world.
Copy !req
529. I still think there's more
he's not telling us.
Copy !req
530. So do I.
Copy !req
531. Which is why John Henry Irons
isn't going anywhere
Copy !req
532. until we find out everything he knows.
Copy !req
533. If it wasn't for the boys,
Copy !req
534. you might have died tonight.
Copy !req
535. I got lucky Jordan's hearing
clicked when it did.
Copy !req
536. With everything this family is facing,
we can't rely on luck.
Copy !req
537. You're right, Clark.
Copy !req
538. We're not protecting the boys
by keeping secrets from them.
Copy !req
539. So what do you wanna tell them?
Copy !req
540. Everything.
Copy !req
541. Hey, I just wanted to apologize
for spying on you and Sarah earlier.
Copy !req
542. I...
Copy !req
543. I'm really sorry you have to
lie for me like that all the time.
Copy !req
544. Actually, this time
I kinda told the truth.
Copy !req
545. I mean, not like, not all of it,
obviously, but somehow
Copy !req
546. it almost felt worse this way
because it was like,
Copy !req
547. it's like, I don't know,
like intentional.
Copy !req
548. Feels like everything since we got here
has just been a big secret.
Copy !req
549. I just, I want it to go back
to normal so bad.
Copy !req
550. To be fair Jordan, I mean,
Copy !req
551. pretty sure all normal people
have stuff that they're hiding, too.
Copy !req
552. Tonight's probably been the
most scared I've ever been in my life.
Copy !req
553. But,
Copy !req
554. I gotta say,
Copy !req
555. it was also pretty awesome.
Copy !req
556. - You did total Dad's truck.
- Yeah, pretty sick.
Copy !req
557. Bro, I don't even have
a learner's permit.
Copy !req
558. Or know how to drive.
Copy !req
559. I know! I was like...
Copy !req
560. Which was incredibly reckless
Copy !req
561. and dangerous and irresponsible.
Copy !req
562. And absolutely necessary.
Copy !req
563. You both saved my life tonight,
Copy !req
564. so I think I owe you
a pretty big thank you.
Copy !req
565. Listen, we know that you two
must have a lot of questions
Copy !req
566. about what's been going on around here.
Copy !req
567. We've taught you
not to keep secrets from us.
Copy !req
568. So we're not gonna keep
secrets from you anymore.
Copy !req
569. Isn't most of that stuff,
like, classified, though?
Copy !req
570. Yes.
Copy !req
571. Which is why none of what we tell you
can ever leave this house.
Copy !req
572. Is that understood?
Copy !req
573. Definitely. Yeah.
Copy !req
574. All right, who wants to go first?
Copy !req
575. What was that deal
with the guy tonight?
Copy !req
576. I just doubled the output
on the reflex modules, which means...
Copy !req
577. We found Kal-El.
Copy !req
578. It's time.
Copy !req
579. Right now?
Copy !req
580. But the tracking inlay's still glitchy.
Copy !req
581. And we haven't
finished the hammer yet.
Copy !req
582. And the AI is still set for Lex Luthor.
Copy !req
583. It doesn't matter
who the AI thinks is in the suit.
Copy !req
584. It has to be now, Bug.
Copy !req
585. My ship will be here in two minutes.
Copy !req
586. Look, this is what
we've been preparing for.
Copy !req
587. Our one chance to end it.
Copy !req
588. I just...
Copy !req
589. I don't want anything to happen to you.
Copy !req
590. I'm going to go out there and kill him.
Copy !req
591. And then I'm coming right back.
Copy !req
592. Say it with me.
Copy !req
593. Forged in fire. Strong as steel.
Copy !req
594. I love you, Dad.
Copy !req
595. I love you too, Nat-Bug.
Copy !req
596. More than anything in this world.
Copy !req
597. I'm gonna be right back.
Copy !req
598. I promise.
Copy !req
599. I'm gonna be right back.
Copy !req
600. I promise.
Copy !req
601. I'm gonna be right back.
Copy !req
602. I promise.
Copy !req
