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