1. Previously
on "Superman & Lois"...
Copy !req
2. Let's just focus on what
we came here for... family.
Copy !req
3. You and Jordan
basically are weapons.
Copy !req
4. I'm the only one in this house
that is completely unarmed.
Copy !req
5. You don't go
snooping around
Copy !req
6. some guy from another world's
murder van.
Copy !req
7. We are the extraordinary humans
in a family of super people.
Copy !req
8. Have you seen my dad?
Copy !req
9. I can't do the performance
without him.
Copy !req
10. I can do it.
Copy !req
11. I can't keep getting
my hopes up
Copy !req
12. and then just get disappointed.
Copy !req
13. Were you able to find
enough Subjekts?
Copy !req
14. Yes, but there's no guarantee
they'll be receptive hosts.
Copy !req
15. That was a nasty sight.
Copy !req
16. The gas was an experimental
synthetic kryptonite
Copy !req
17. designed to invade
your respiratory system,
Copy !req
18. weaken you from the inside.
Copy !req
19. Why is Edge here?
Copy !req
20. I mean, why Smallville?
Copy !req
21. Definitely not
for the biryani.
Copy !req
22. He was in and out of Hazel
Green and Granville in weeks,
Copy !req
23. he shut down operations in
New Carthage in a few months,
Copy !req
24. and now he's here.
Copy !req
25. Gotta be for the same reason
as the other towns, right?
Copy !req
26. Mine for X-Kryptonite,
Copy !req
27. use that machine I saw
that gives people powers.
Copy !req
28. Yeah,
I know that's part of it,
Copy !req
29. but Smallville's the only town
where he's sticking around,
Copy !req
30. so there has to be a reason
why Smallville is different.
Copy !req
31. He needs this place.
Copy !req
32. This is your specialty.
Copy !req
33. How do you suggest
we figure out why?
Copy !req
34. We dig deeper.
Copy !req
35. We need to use every resource
at our disposal.
Copy !req
36. So as we know, he was only
in Hazel Green...
Copy !req
37. Clark's a great reporter.
Copy !req
38. Now that he's not coaching,
he can help.
Copy !req
39. We get all the information
we can from Lana,
Copy !req
40. files on everyone
Edge has recruited,
Copy !req
41. who they are,
where they come from.
Copy !req
42. Thank you.
Copy !req
43. Pore over
every single detail.
Copy !req
44. There's Emily.
Copy !req
45. And then we start back
at the beginning.
Copy !req
46. All right, so we know
Emily is the newest recruit.
Copy !req
47. Connect every dot,
piece it all together,
Copy !req
48. and if we've
done our job right,
Copy !req
49. the answer will
present itself.
Copy !req
50. My goal has always been
the same.
Copy !req
51. I want to change this world,
Copy !req
52. and I finally found the place
where I can start doing so...
Copy !req
53. Here in Smallville
with people like you.
Copy !req
54. Me?
Copy !req
55. Why?
Copy !req
56. I know your life hasn't been
easy the past few years.
Copy !req
57. I know the pain you're in.
Copy !req
58. The fear,
Copy !req
59. knowing you can't provide
for your family,
Copy !req
60. that burden, that stress.
Copy !req
61. With my assistance,
all those fears can go away.
Copy !req
62. I can improve your life
in every way imaginable.
Copy !req
63. I can improve you, Emily.
Copy !req
64. Will this hurt?
Copy !req
65. Not a bit.
Copy !req
66. If you'd like me to,
I can activate a new life.
Copy !req
67. A new life?
Copy !req
68. Process you'd go through
will make you feel
Copy !req
69. like a new person,
Copy !req
70. clear-minded, stronger,
Copy !req
71. capable of things
you never dreamt possible.
Copy !req
72. But I can only do that
if you're willing,
Copy !req
73. if you acknowledge
that the life you have now
Copy !req
74. is not what you want anymore.
Copy !req
75. Complete host acceptance.
Copy !req
76. Process isn't complete.
Copy !req
77. It'll take a few days
before you're fully in control,
Copy !req
78. but once that happens...
Copy !req
79. Life will be yours again.
Copy !req
80. Do you want to become
your best self, Emily?
Copy !req
81. I do.
Copy !req
82. Episode Title: "Loyal Subjekts"
Aired on: June 082021.
Copy !req
83. Lana said Edge asked her
to find more candidates,
Copy !req
84. so until we can figure out
how to stop him,
Copy !req
85. we need to convince people
to stay away.
Copy !req
86. Lois, he's offering people
jobs and money,
Copy !req
87. things they need to feel in
control of their lives again.
Copy !req
88. Boys, bus'll be here
in a minute!
Copy !req
89. Clark,
we have to do something,
Copy !req
90. and nobody's gonna listen
to me.
Copy !req
91. They haven't
since that first town hall,
Copy !req
92. but they will to you.
Copy !req
93. - Hey, which one's mine?
- Here.
Copy !req
94. Thanks.
Copy !req
95. All right, guys,
we're probably gonna have
Copy !req
96. another late night working
on this Edge case.
Copy !req
97. All right,
Copy !req
98. We were gonna see
Sarah's revue tonight anyway.
Copy !req
99. You guys sure are spending
quite a bit of time together
Copy !req
100. for just being "friends."
Copy !req
101. Just trying to support her,
Dad.
Copy !req
102. - Uh-huh.
- Right.
Copy !req
103. What?
Copy !req
104. She said she just wanted
to be friends.
Copy !req
105. Might be more than that,
but I will leave it up to her
Copy !req
106. to tell you.
Copy !req
107. Bus is pulling up.
Copy !req
108. All right, there's leftovers
in the fridge, okay?
Copy !req
109. - All right, love you guys.
Bye.
Copy !req
110. All right, I gotta go
meet Lana at the Gazette.
Copy !req
111. Clark,
you are Martha Kent's son.
Copy !req
112. She was helping people here
way before Edge showed up.
Copy !req
113. They will listen to you.
Copy !req
114. All right.
Copy !req
115. - Bye.
- Bye.
Copy !req
116. And none of these people are
acting differently at all?
Copy !req
117. I mean, the only change I see
is how happy they are.
Copy !req
118. Like, they're truly excited
to be there,
Copy !req
119. to be a part of something,
to change their lives.
Copy !req
120. What is he doing with them?
Copy !req
121. Personal development,
self-improvement,
Copy !req
122. trust exercises.
Copy !req
123. I really don't know
the specifics.
Copy !req
124. Well, it sounds like a cult,
Copy !req
125. only Edge is power-brainwashing
free of charge.
Copy !req
126. The only other thing
I can tell you
Copy !req
127. is they started these morning
"togethers" at Victoria May's.
Copy !req
128. - Togethers?
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
129. Camaraderie-building
breakfasts.
Copy !req
130. Oh, I'm gonna be late.
Copy !req
131. Wait... Lana,
maybe you should take a break.
Copy !req
132. This is kinda starting
to get really dangerous,
Copy !req
133. and I don't want anything
to happen to you.
Copy !req
134. It's okay, Lois, really.
Copy !req
135. I mean, if I can keep Edge
from hurting just one person,
Copy !req
136. it's worth it.
Copy !req
137. Think I should head over
to the diner,
Copy !req
138. go full intervention
on this breakfast.
Copy !req
139. No, you stay focused
on getting what you can
Copy !req
140. on Edge's minions.
Copy !req
141. I know someone who might have a
better shot at getting through.
Copy !req
142. Okay.
Copy !req
143. Hey, boys!
Copy !req
144. Hey, come on over.
Copy !req
145. - Hey, Mr. Cushing.
- Hi.
Copy !req
146. Jordan, listen, I...
Copy !req
147. I just want to say thank you
for stepping up
Copy !req
148. and helping Sarah with
her audition the other day.
Copy !req
149. That really saved the day, man.
Copy !req
150. Yeah, uh, thanks.
Copy !req
151. Okay, you don't want
to be late.
Copy !req
152. Yeah.
Copy !req
153. Hey, we'll see you later,
okay?
Copy !req
154. Yeah.
Copy !req
155. Can't wait to see you
up there tonight!
Copy !req
156. Don't ask.
Copy !req
157. He's having some kind
of personality crisis.
Copy !req
158. Really?
Copy !req
159. Yeah, he keeps telling me
how he's changed for good
Copy !req
160. and how he feels better.
Copy !req
161. Things improve for a little bit,
it's the same crap as always,
Copy !req
162. and then he crashes
like your brother's about to.
Copy !req
163. What?
Copy !req
164. I told you, stay away
from Tegan Wickhem.
Copy !req
165. Just trust me, okay?
Copy !req
166. Clark?
Copy !req
167. Emily, hi.
Copy !req
168. I heard you were back
in town.
Copy !req
169. Yeah, I'm sorry I haven't
seen you.
Copy !req
170. It's been crazy
since we moved here.
Copy !req
171. I bet... me, too, actually,
but for the better.
Copy !req
172. Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
173. I heard you were working
at Edge EnerCorp.
Copy !req
174. It has changed my life.
Copy !req
175. I feel great.
Copy !req
176. I can think better, focus,
you know,
Copy !req
177. problems that seemed impossible
before are like nothing now.
Copy !req
178. - Really?
Wow, you know what?
Copy !req
179. Actually, I would love to talk
to you about that.
Copy !req
180. Like, you're looking
for work?
Copy !req
181. - Uh, well...
- Oh, it's okay.
Copy !req
182. Just talk to Lana.
Copy !req
183. She hooked me up,
got me into the program.
Copy !req
184. I'm sure she'd be happy
to help her old boyfriend.
Copy !req
185. - Yeah.
- Oh, I gotta go.
Copy !req
186. Let me know
if I can be of help.
Copy !req
187. It was so good to see you,
Clark.
Copy !req
188. - You, too.
- Take care.
Copy !req
189. Speaking Spanish...
Copy !req
190. Speaking Spanish...
Copy !req
191. Thank God you're back.
Copy !req
192. Edge just sent someone over
with a massive ad buy
Copy !req
193. for tomorrow's paper.
Copy !req
194. - For more recruits?
- Twice as many.
Copy !req
195. Whatever crazy voodoo
Edge is doing to those people,
Copy !req
196. he's kicking it into high gear.
Copy !req
197. Where are you going?
Copy !req
198. Oh, to make a scene.
Copy !req
199. - Lois.
- Where's Edge?
Copy !req
200. He's in a group meeting.
Copy !req
201. I just found out about the ad
this morning.
Copy !req
202. You don't want anything
to do with what he's offering.
Copy !req
203. Ms. Lane...
Copy !req
204. You all need to walk away
right now.
Copy !req
205. Walk away.
Copy !req
206. Don't touch me.
Copy !req
207. I'm sorry, if everyone could
give Ms. Lane and I a moment.
Copy !req
208. I promise this won't take long.
Copy !req
209. I know this sounds insane
because it is,
Copy !req
210. but he wants to erase
everything you are
Copy !req
211. and replace it
with something else.
Copy !req
212. Well, that was desperate.
Copy !req
213. I know what you're doing.
Copy !req
214. Providing good jobs
to a community in need.
Copy !req
215. You are putting
Kryptonian consciousnesses
Copy !req
216. into people's bodies.
Copy !req
217. You are taking them over
and giving them powers.
Copy !req
218. And your evidence
for this is...
Copy !req
219. Derek Powell, Reno Rosetti,
Leslie.
Copy !req
220. Oh, so two dead men
and my personal assistant.
Copy !req
221. I have to say, this story has
holes even by your standards.
Copy !req
222. We both know it's the truth.
Copy !req
223. In my experience,
truth is rather subjective.
Copy !req
224. Who do you think people are
more likely to believe?
Copy !req
225. A has-been slumming it
at the local paper
Copy !req
226. or the man
who's giving this town
Copy !req
227. the best economy
it's ever known?
Copy !req
228. These people are not puppets
to be controlled by you.
Copy !req
229. They have dreams.
They have families.
Copy !req
230. No one's being forced to do
anything against their will.
Copy !req
231. Everyone's made the same offer:
the chance for a better life.
Copy !req
232. - Says so right there.
- We're not publishing this.
Copy !req
233. Then I guess word of mouth
will have to suffice.
Copy !req
234. You can't stop this, Lois.
Copy !req
235. Perhaps it's time you use
that device you have
Copy !req
236. to call in your super friend.
Copy !req
237. Perhaps it is.
Copy !req
238. Risky, though.
Copy !req
239. Need I remind you
where he's from?
Copy !req
240. He may take comfort knowing
there are others here
Copy !req
241. just like him,
Copy !req
242. as John Irons prophesied.
Copy !req
243. Superman is nothing
like them.
Copy !req
244. I'm excited to find out.
Copy !req
245. Hey, looks like you finally
figured out that locker.
Copy !req
246. Yeah, no, yeah,
I took your advice.
Copy !req
247. You know, nothing good
ever comes from anger, so...
Copy !req
248. Hey, Tegan.
Copy !req
249. Hey, um, I was just wondering
if, like, maybe you wanted
Copy !req
250. to, like,
hang out after school sometime?
Copy !req
251. Hang out?
Copy !req
252. - Like, just the two of us?
- Yeah, I mean,
Copy !req
253. it doesn't have to be, like,
that formal or anything, just,
Copy !req
254. I don't know,
grab a bite at the diner, or...
Copy !req
255. Um...
Copy !req
256. Look, I'm sure you're
a really sweet guy and all...
Copy !req
257. Look, I just... I thought...
Copy !req
258. I don't know, I just thought,
like, we were trading looks.
Copy !req
259. Well, yeah, I mean,
you had that broken arm,
Copy !req
260. and you looked so lonely.
Copy !req
261. I was just trying to be nice.
Copy !req
262. Yeah, right.
Copy !req
263. Look, I wasn't trying to hurt
your feelings or anything...
Copy !req
264. No, no, no, no, no, no,
it's, uh...
Copy !req
265. it's all good.
Copy !req
266. It's my bad.
Copy !req
267. - Cool.
- See ya later.
Copy !req
268. Whew, looks like you need
a new playbook, QB number two.
Copy !req
269. You gotta work
on closing that deal
Copy !req
270. like you close your locker.
Copy !req
271. - Clark, are you here?
- In the kitchen.
Copy !req
272. We got a problem.
Copy !req
273. Morgan Edge is ramping up
that program of his.
Copy !req
274. Oh, my God, what happened?
Copy !req
275. I went to stop
this bank robbery,
Copy !req
276. and I got hit.
Copy !req
277. - Did they use kryptonite?
- No, regular bullets.
Copy !req
278. This isn't normal.
Copy !req
279. Superman doesn't bruise,
especially not from bullets.
Copy !req
280. Do you think it has something
to do with that gas
Copy !req
281. Rosetti used?
Copy !req
282. I don't know.
Copy !req
283. We're gonna have
to call my dad.
Copy !req
284. Sorry about messing up
the intro.
Copy !req
285. - I didn't even notice.
You sounded great.
Copy !req
286. Thanks.
Copy !req
287. How are you so awesome
at piano?
Copy !req
288. Do you have any other little
Copy !req
289. secret talents
you're not telling me about?
Copy !req
290. Um...
Copy !req
291. nah, this is pretty much it.
Copy !req
292. Well, thank you
for everything,
Copy !req
293. all the time you've put
into this.
Copy !req
294. It really means a lot
having you here, so...
Copy !req
295. I want to be here.
Copy !req
296. Bless you.
Copy !req
297. I, um... I must have allergies
or something.
Copy !req
298. Jordan, I...
Copy !req
299. Jordan!
Copy !req
300. Jordan.
Copy !req
301. Something's wrong with me.
Copy !req
302. You're infected, too.
Copy !req
303. Come on.
Copy !req
304. - Here, honey.
- So what's happening?
Copy !req
305. The kryptonite gas that
Rosetti used on me at the DOD,
Copy !req
306. it was a bio-weapon, and I think
it might be communicable.
Copy !req
307. Like, a virus?
Copy !req
308. So I'm getting
kryptonite sickness from you?
Copy !req
309. Yeah.
Copy !req
310. Clark, it's not your fault.
Copy !req
311. You didn't even know anything
was happening until today.
Copy !req
312. You have super-healing,
so how long are you sick for?
Copy !req
313. Your dad has never been sick
a day in his life.
Copy !req
314. Well, I'm not that bad.
Copy !req
315. Ow.
Copy !req
316. This wasn't supposed
to happen.
Copy !req
317. Really?
Copy !req
318. Because it sure seems like a
weapon designed to hurt Superman
Copy !req
319. would hurt Superman.
Copy !req
320. It was only meant
as a last resort,
Copy !req
321. just to weaken him temporarily.
Copy !req
322. - Then why is my son sick?
Explain that to me.
Copy !req
323. You put your own grandson
in harm's way.
Copy !req
324. Sam, how do we fix this?
Copy !req
325. My guys are working on it.
Copy !req
326. - Yo, Sarah.
- Hi.
Copy !req
327. Hey, are there gonna
be, like, refreshments
Copy !req
328. at this thing, or what?
Copy !req
329. Have you seen Jordan?
Copy !req
330. No, he's probably
just, like, putting on
Copy !req
331. his best black tee
for the show.
Copy !req
332. - You know how it goes.
- No, I don't,
Copy !req
333. because he left
about an hour ago,
Copy !req
334. and he hasn't come back.
Copy !req
335. Did he tell you
where he was going?
Copy !req
336. No, he just
ran out of rehearsal
Copy !req
337. like a frightened
little rabbit, I...
Copy !req
338. We were really having
a nice time together,
Copy !req
339. or at least I thought we were
until he completely ghosted me.
Copy !req
340. Sarah, I don't think
it's about you.
Copy !req
341. I'll find him.
Copy !req
342. Okay, well, hurry up because
I think I'm the first one up.
Copy !req
343. All right.
Copy !req
344. Emily.
Copy !req
345. Emily, hey.
Copy !req
346. I've been meaning to ask you,
Copy !req
347. how's it going
with the program?
Copy !req
348. Mr. Edge is a genius.
Copy !req
349. You know, that he somehow
figured out a process
Copy !req
350. to completely transform
people's lives,
Copy !req
351. it's amazing.
Copy !req
352. What process?
Copy !req
353. I'm sorry, I assumed
you'd already gone through it.
Copy !req
354. No, I haven't.
Copy !req
355. What did he do to you exactly?
Copy !req
356. Mr. Edge was very clear
we not tell anyone.
Copy !req
357. Emily, we've known each other
since the fifth grade.
Copy !req
358. You can trust me.
Copy !req
359. Lana, do you have a moment?
Copy !req
360. I'll see you later.
Copy !req
361. It seems
Copy !req
362. you've been looking into things
that don't concern you.
Copy !req
363. You put me in charge
of the Young Executive Program.
Copy !req
364. I should at least know
what it's really about.
Copy !req
365. And is this to satisfy
your own curiosity
Copy !req
366. or so that you can run
and tell Lois Lane?
Copy !req
367. - I never told her anything.
- It's okay.
Copy !req
368. As evidenced
by today's spectacle,
Copy !req
369. Miss Lane is desperate.
Copy !req
370. In fact, I'd have been
more surprised
Copy !req
371. if she hadn't tried
to scare you into helping.
Copy !req
372. Emily told me about a process
she went under.
Copy !req
373. What is she talking about?
Copy !req
374. An offer I made her,
Copy !req
375. the same one I'm about to make
right now to you,
Copy !req
376. and make no mistake.
Copy !req
377. The answer you give will
impact the rest of your life.
Copy !req
378. - Jordan, where are you?
- Upstairs.
Copy !req
379. Wow, it's like Iditarod-level
cold in here.
Copy !req
380. Your brother's sick.
Copy !req
381. Does that have something to
do with you flaking on Sarah?
Copy !req
382. - I gotta get back there, I...
- You're not going anywhere.
Copy !req
383. Sarah's going on any minute,
and I can't just abandon her.
Copy !req
384. - She'll be okay.
- No, she won't.
Copy !req
385. This is exactly
what her dad did.
Copy !req
386. I can't let that happen again.
Copy !req
387. I know you want
to be there for her,
Copy !req
388. but you cannot go anywhere
Copy !req
389. until we know exactly
what is going on.
Copy !req
390. Wait, w... wait, we don't even
know what's going on with him?
Copy !req
391. The kryptonite that infected
your brother
Copy !req
392. is affecting him differently
than me.
Copy !req
393. Your grandfather's working
with the doctors
Copy !req
394. to figure out
a way to help him.
Copy !req
395. Jonathan, he's gonna be fine.
Copy !req
396. Dad, that does not seem fine.
Copy !req
397. It's getting harder
to breathe.
Copy !req
398. - What is happening to him?
- We can't wait for your dad.
Copy !req
399. Let me call you back.
Copy !req
400. Why's Clark leaving?
Copy !req
401. To do what you can't.
Copy !req
402. Lois, that gas Rosetti used
on Clark was synthetic,
Copy !req
403. experimental,
hadn't been tested.
Copy !req
404. We didn't know
what his reaction would be.
Copy !req
405. All my life, your job was
your number one priority.
Copy !req
406. Accepting that wasn't easy,
Copy !req
407. but I learned to live with it,
and somehow even grew
Copy !req
408. to respect it because I
believed that you were trying
Copy !req
409. to do the right thing,
and I honestly naively thought
Copy !req
410. that once I had a family,
you might change,
Copy !req
411. start putting us first,
Copy !req
412. but I was wrong.
Copy !req
413. Knowingly and willingly
endangering the lives
Copy !req
414. of the people I love...
Copy !req
415. I can't forgive that.
Copy !req
416. So when this is over,
I want you to leave
Copy !req
417. and never come back.
Copy !req
418. You're not welcome here
anymore.
Copy !req
419. Jordan's been infected
with kryptonite.
Copy !req
420. It's affecting his breathing.
Copy !req
421. He's
in respiratory distress.
Copy !req
422. Why?
Copy !req
423. The kryptonite is causing
his lungs to fill with fluid.
Copy !req
424. As he can condense
large quantities of air...
Copy !req
425. He's cooling it, like I do.
Copy !req
426. Can you get the kryptonite
out of him?
Copy !req
427. Likely, but only
the same way we have
Copy !req
428. with you in the past.
Copy !req
429. - What?
- Come here.
Copy !req
430. Come here.
Copy !req
431. We're gonna have to burn the
kryptonite out of your system.
Copy !req
432. Burn it how?
Copy !req
433. With heat,
with some immense heat.
Copy !req
434. - No, no...
- Listen to me, listen to me.
Copy !req
435. Listen to me.
This is the only way, okay?
Copy !req
436. We have to do this,
Copy !req
437. otherwise your lungs
could completely freeze.
Copy !req
438. - Dad, I'm scared.
- I'm gonna be right here.
Copy !req
439. You're gonna take my hand,
okay?
Copy !req
440. You're gonna squeeze as hard
as you need to, okay?
Copy !req
441. You can do this.
Copy !req
442. Mom.
Copy !req
443. Mom, you okay?
Copy !req
444. I should've protected him.
Copy !req
445. Mom, this isn't...
This isn't on you.
Copy !req
446. I'm your mom.
Copy !req
447. My one job
is to keep you guys safe,
Copy !req
448. and I keep failing at it.
Copy !req
449. No, no, you don't.
Copy !req
450. You were almost gunned down
in John Henry's RV...
Copy !req
451. - That was my fault.
- Got into a car accident.
Copy !req
452. That was also my fault.
Copy !req
453. I feel like
I can't turn around
Copy !req
454. without one of you
being in mortal danger.
Copy !req
455. Why is it so hard
to keep you safe?
Copy !req
456. I don't know.
Copy !req
457. Just...
Copy !req
458. Just part of being
a super family, I guess.
Copy !req
459. Hey, come here.
Copy !req
460. Dad'll figure something out.
Copy !req
461. He always does.
Copy !req
462. - Hey, Lana.
- Hey.
Copy !req
463. - I saved you both seats.
- Oh, thank you.
Copy !req
464. - Hi, how are you doing?
- Hey.
Copy !req
465. Good to see you.
Copy !req
466. Hello, everyone,
and thank you for coming.
Copy !req
467. Our students tonight...
Copy !req
468. How did everything go
with Edge?
Copy !req
469. - Oh, amazing.
He explained everything to me.
Copy !req
470. It all makes perfect sense.
Copy !req
471. - All right.
- Yeah, thank you.
Copy !req
472. And for our first
performance,
Copy !req
473. we have the very talented
Sarah Cushing
Copy !req
474. singing "Little Light"
by Amos Lee.
Copy !req
475. Whoo!
Copy !req
476. Um...
Copy !req
477. I'm sorry, I can't do this.
Copy !req
478. Yes, you can.
Copy !req
479. It's just like being at home,
okay?
Copy !req
480. Just waiting to hear back
from my team.
Copy !req
481. Then we'll get everything
straightened out
Copy !req
482. with Jordan and your dad.
Copy !req
483. Little late for that,
isn't it?
Copy !req
484. Why'd you do it?
Copy !req
485. Why'd you build those weapons
to hurt my dad?
Copy !req
486. Your father's
the most powerful being
Copy !req
487. this world's ever known.
Copy !req
488. My job is to keep us safe,
Copy !req
489. which means being prepared
for any scenario,
Copy !req
490. no matter how unlikely.
Copy !req
491. You and I,
we're not like your dad,
Copy !req
492. or even Jordan.
Copy !req
493. He's my twin brother.
Copy !req
494. Yes, but the minute
his powers surfaced,
Copy !req
495. you and him began walking
two very different paths.
Copy !req
496. That scares you, doesn't it?
Copy !req
497. It does.
Copy !req
498. You know,
I think you're wrong.
Copy !req
499. I think you're wrong about
you and I being alike.
Copy !req
500. How so?
Copy !req
501. I could never be scared
of my family,
Copy !req
502. no matter what powers
they might have.
Copy !req
503. Jonathan, you haven't
seen the things I have.
Copy !req
504. Yeah, you're right.
Copy !req
505. But in the end,
Copy !req
506. I don't think
that would matter
Copy !req
507. 'cause I'd still trust them,
Copy !req
508. and you'd still be a coward.
Copy !req
509. - Mom.
- ♪ Words to be done for...
Copy !req
510. - You were wonderful up there.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
511. It felt really good
once I got going.
Copy !req
512. - Yeah.
- Yeah, told you you'd kill it.
Copy !req
513. Thank you, Dad,
for helping me.
Copy !req
514. - Emily, where are you going?
Avery's not done yet.
Copy !req
515. I'll be right back.
Copy !req
516. - That was weird.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
517. I'm gonna go see
what's wrong.
Copy !req
518. Wait, Kyle...
Copy !req
519. Have you seen this?
Copy !req
520. He's still weak.
Copy !req
521. The exact reason why I just
activated some of our Subjekts.
Copy !req
522. To take down Superman?
Copy !req
523. Not him,
Copy !req
524. the one he protects.
Copy !req
525. The kryptonite
is nearly gone.
Copy !req
526. Doing great,
you're almost there.
Copy !req
527. You're almost there.
Copy !req
528. - That's it, that's it!
It's over.
Copy !req
529. That's it, it's over.
You're done.
Copy !req
530. Hey, you did it, okay?
Hey.
Copy !req
531. Hey, I'm proud of you.
Copy !req
532. You all right?
Come here.
Copy !req
533. I'm proud of you.
Come on, stand up.
Copy !req
534. Stand up.
Copy !req
535. What do you mean, you don't
know how long it'll affect him?
Copy !req
536. No, I haven't tested
the prototype.
Copy !req
537. He wasn't exactly in the mood.
Copy !req
538. Just get me an answer.
Copy !req
539. Can we just, like...
Like, call them or something?
Copy !req
540. It's named the Fortress
of Solitude for a reason.
Copy !req
541. I know it sucks.
Copy !req
542. We just have to be patient,
okay?
Copy !req
543. Hey, Lana.
Copy !req
544. Lois, you know
how you kept asking me
Copy !req
545. if anyone over
at Edge EnerCorp
Copy !req
546. was acting differently?
Copy !req
547. I just saw it for the first
time with Emily Phan.
Copy !req
548. - Emily?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
549. She left in the middle
of her daughter's performance.
Copy !req
550. She would never do that.
Avery is everything to her.
Copy !req
551. I mean, it's like she was...
Copy !req
552. She was someone else.
Copy !req
553. I'll get it.
Copy !req
554. I guess this is
what Edge meant.
Copy !req
555. What do you mean?
Copy !req
556. Tonight
before I left the office,
Copy !req
557. he made me an offer
Copy !req
558. to do what he's doing
to everyone else.
Copy !req
559. - What?
- I turned him down.
Copy !req
560. Lana, why wouldn't you
mention this before?
Copy !req
561. 'Cause I was nervous.
Copy !req
562. He knew I was feeding you
information.
Copy !req
563. Hey, Mom,
I think it's for you.
Copy !req
564. Lois, I'm worried.
Copy !req
565. What if he does something?
Copy !req
566. - Mom?
- Lois?
Copy !req
567. - She shouldn't have called.
- Lois.
Copy !req
568. Not this time.
Copy !req
569. Ahh!
Copy !req
570. This isn't you.
Copy !req
571. Not anymore.
Copy !req
572. Get out of here!
Copy !req
573. Keep hitting this
till he comes.
Copy !req
574. - It's all we can do.
- No, no, no, no.
Copy !req
575. - We need to go to the barn.
- I'll keep 'em busy.
Copy !req
576. You took his weapons?
Copy !req
577. Kyle?
Copy !req
578. I just came
from the performance.
Copy !req
579. Lana was scared.
What's going on?
Copy !req
580. - Edge sent people to kill me.
- It's not gonna happen.
Copy !req
581. Stay down.
Copy !req
582. Targets first.
Copy !req
583. So that's what kryptonite
feels like, huh?
Copy !req
584. Yeah.
Copy !req
585. Dad?
Copy !req
586. I'm sorry, Jordan.
Copy !req
587. Your life right now
is completely changed
Copy !req
588. because of who I am.
Copy !req
589. Everything that's happening
to you,
Copy !req
590. you didn't ask for any of this.
Copy !req
591. I didn't,
Copy !req
592. but you didn't ask for what
happened to you either.
Copy !req
593. Here, give me the gun!
Copy !req
594. Pretty good with that thing.
Copy !req
595. We're not just
gonna kill you, Lois.
Copy !req
596. He wanted you to suffer first.
Copy !req
597. They're gone.
Copy !req
598. Better than ice,
Copy !req
599. unless that was a lie
you told me when I was a kid.
Copy !req
600. Only way I could get you
to do it.
Copy !req
601. We sure went through
our fair share of frozen peas,
Copy !req
602. didn't we?
Copy !req
603. God, even as a kid,
Copy !req
604. you were always coming home
bruised up.
Copy !req
605. I was never there to keep you
from getting them though,
Copy !req
606. was I?
Copy !req
607. - Dad.
- It's true.
Copy !req
608. Everything you said is true.
Copy !req
609. I wasn't the best father.
Copy !req
610. I was gone a lot,
Copy !req
611. and I wasn't there to protect
you the way a parent should.
Copy !req
612. You were tonight.
Copy !req
613. Couldn't let them
hurt my grandson.
Copy !req
614. Or my little girl.
Copy !req
615. Lois, we're gonna stay here
till this is over.
Copy !req
616. As of now,
Copy !req
617. you, the boys,
Clark, Smallville,
Copy !req
618. that's my priority.
Copy !req
619. Good.
Copy !req
620. 'Cause that war John Henry Irons
was talking about,
Copy !req
621. I think it's about to happen.
Copy !req
622. Think Mom's gonna let you
keep those solar weapons now?
Copy !req
623. I don't know.
Copy !req
624. I mean, they're pretty much the
only reason we're alive, so...
Copy !req
625. It'd suck to come home and
find out I was an only child.
Copy !req
626. Yeah.
Copy !req
627. So...
Copy !req
628. so you're just, like, fine now?
Copy !req
629. Yeah, other than ice breath.
Copy !req
630. So you have that now for good,
or what?
Copy !req
631. - Think so.
- What's that feel like?
Copy !req
632. Like having a piece
of wintergreen gum
Copy !req
633. in your mouth at all times.
Copy !req
634. Nice.
Copy !req
635. I can't believe
what happened.
Copy !req
636. Avery Phan's mom
and Mr. Cushing?
Copy !req
637. Right, but it wasn't them,
you know?
Copy !req
638. They were super,
super brainwashed.
Copy !req
639. I think Grandpa's sending
a few people
Copy !req
640. to go look for 'em both.
Copy !req
641. What are they gonna
tell Sarah?
Copy !req
642. I don't know.
Copy !req
643. - My God, what happened?
- Are you drunk?
Copy !req
644. - No.
- Honey, could you excuse us?
Copy !req
645. - Mom...
- Please?
Copy !req
646. I need to speak
to your father alone.
Copy !req
647. Sure.
Copy !req
648. - Are you?
- No.
Copy !req
649. No, look, I told you
I am done with all that.
Copy !req
650. I'm trying to improve myself,
Lana.
Copy !req
651. I really am,
Copy !req
652. but something happened to me
tonight.
Copy !req
653. I was at the performance,
Copy !req
654. and we were talking to Sarah,
Copy !req
655. and then I blacked out.
Copy !req
656. Next thing you know, I'm out
in the middle of a field
Copy !req
657. somewhere outside of town,
and my ribs...
Copy !req
658. My ribs are hurting, and I
don't know how I got there.
Copy !req
659. I don't know what's going on...
What?
Copy !req
660. The steps you're taking
to improve yourself...
Copy !req
661. Did Morgan Edge
make you an offer?
Copy !req
662. How can I help you?
Copy !req
663. I want to be my best self.
Copy !req
664. I wanted to be better
Copy !req
665. for you and for our girls,
babe.
Copy !req
666. Hey, Chrissy.
Copy !req
667. You said if we kept digging,
Copy !req
668. the answer would present
itself, and honestly,
Copy !req
669. for a while I thought
you were nuts
Copy !req
670. 'cause nothing new
was coming to light,
Copy !req
671. but then I got back
all the research
Copy !req
672. on the powered people
we know,
Copy !req
673. and I found this little nugget
that means something.
Copy !req
674. I just don't know what yet
but thought your big brain
Copy !req
675. might be able
to connect the dots.
Copy !req
676. Chrissy, what are you
talking about?
Copy !req
677. Irma Sayres
and David Fuglestad.
Copy !req
678. Who?
Copy !req
679. Leslie Larr
and motel attacker guy.
Copy !req
680. Leslie Larr's real name
is Irma Sayres?
Copy !req
681. Mm-hmm, and the guy
is David Fuglestad,
Copy !req
682. and guess what?
Copy !req
683. I found out they're both
originally from Smallville.
Copy !req
684. Derek Powell's
from New Carthage.
Copy !req
685. Reno Rosetti's from Metropolis.
Copy !req
686. David Fuglestad and
Leslie Larr are from Smallville.
Copy !req
687. When Derek Powell
killed himself,
Copy !req
688. what did he say to you?
Copy !req
689. - That he was already dead.
- And his powers were fritzing.
Copy !req
690. Yeah, just like Rosetti's.
Copy !req
691. That didn't happen
when I fought David.
Copy !req
692. And it didn't happen
with Leslie.
Copy !req
693. When I landed here,
Copy !req
694. there were meteor showers
all over the world
Copy !req
695. for an entire week.
Copy !req
696. - Right, remnants of Krypton.
That's why there's kryptonite.
Copy !req
697. Right,
every form of kryptonite,
Copy !req
698. and the kind that landed here
is buried in the mines.
Copy !req
699. Was X-Kryptonite.
Copy !req
700. So the only place in the world
that has X-Kryptonite
Copy !req
701. is also the only place
that has people
Copy !req
702. who've been exposed to it long
enough to accept its effects.
Copy !req
703. Like Tag Harris.
Copy !req
704. It's not Smallville Edge needs
to build his army.
Copy !req
705. It's the people.
Copy !req
706. What?
Copy !req
707. It's your ELT.
Copy !req
708. Edge.
Copy !req
709. I'm glad you came.
Copy !req
710. Everything you're doing
is gonna stop.
Copy !req
711. That's exactly what
your friend Lois Lane
Copy !req
712. keeps saying to me.
Copy !req
713. You can't make that happen
any more than she can.
Copy !req
714. Did you really think
I'd be giving people powers
Copy !req
715. without having them myself?
Copy !req
716. You see, I got mine
the same time you did, Kal-El,
Copy !req
717. when I arrived on this planet.
Copy !req
718. When you arrived?
Copy !req
719. I think it's time you learned
the truth about who I am
Copy !req
720. and where I'm really from,
Copy !req
721. brother.
Copy !req
722. Greg, move your head.
Copy !req
