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 am the only one in this house
that's completely unarmed.
Copy !req
5. You don't go snooping around some
guy-from-another-world's murder van.
Copy !req
6. We are the extraordinary humans
in a family of superpeople
Copy !req
7. Have you seen my dad?
I can't do the performance without him.
Copy !req
8. I can do it.
Copy !req
9. I can't keep getting my hopes up,
and then just get disappointed.
Copy !req
10. Were you able to find enough subjekts?
Copy !req
11. Yes, but there's no guarantee
they'll be receptive hosts.
Copy !req
12. That was some nasty stuff.
Copy !req
13. The gas was
an experimental synthetic Kryptonite
Copy !req
14. designed to invade your respiratory
system, weaken you from the inside.
Copy !req
15. Why is Edge here?
Copy !req
16. I mean, why Smallville?
Copy !req
17. Definitely not for the biryani.
Copy !req
18. He was in and out of Hazel Green
and Granville in weeks.
Copy !req
19. He shut down operations in New Carthage
in a few months, and now he's here.
Copy !req
20. It's gotta be for the same reason
as the other towns, right?
Copy !req
21. Mine for X-Kryptonite.
Copy !req
22. Use that machine I saw
that gives people powers.
Copy !req
23. Yeah, I know that's part of it,
but Smallville's the only town
Copy !req
24. where he's sticking around.
Copy !req
25. So there has to be a reason
why Smallville is different.
Copy !req
26. He needs this place.
Copy !req
27. This is your specialty.
Copy !req
28. How do you suggest we figure out why?
Copy !req
29. We dig deeper.
Copy !req
30. We need to use every resource
at our disposal.
Copy !req
31. So, as we know, he was only in...
Copy !req
32. Clark's a great reporter.
Copy !req
33. Now that he's not coaching, he can help.
Copy !req
34. We get all the information
we can from Lana.
Copy !req
35. Files on everyone Edge has recruited.
Copy !req
36. Who they are, where they come from.
Copy !req
37. Thank you.
Copy !req
38. Pore over every single detail.
Copy !req
39. There's Emily.
Copy !req
40. And then we start back at the beginning.
Copy !req
41. All right, so we know Emily
is the newest recruit...
Copy !req
42. Connect every dot,
piece it all together.
Copy !req
43. And if we've done ourjob right,
the answer will present itself.
Copy !req
44. My goal has always been the same.
Copy !req
45. I want to change this world.
Copy !req
46. And I finally found the place
where I can start doing so,
Copy !req
47. here, in Smallville,
with people like you.
Copy !req
48. Me?
Copy !req
49. Why?
Copy !req
50. I know your life hasn't been easy
the past few years.
Copy !req
51. I know the pain you're in.
Copy !req
52. The fear,
Copy !req
53. knowing you can't provide
for your family, that...
Copy !req
54. burden, that stress.
Copy !req
55. With my assistance, all those fears
can go away.
Copy !req
56. I can improve your life
in every way imaginable.
Copy !req
57. I can improve you, Emily.
Copy !req
58. Will this hurt?
Copy !req
59. Not a bit.
Copy !req
60. If you'd like me to,
I can activate a new life.
Copy !req
61. A new life?
Copy !req
62. The process you'd go through
will make you feel like a new person.
Copy !req
63. Clear-minded. Stronger.
Copy !req
64. Capable of things
you never dreamt possible.
Copy !req
65. But I can only do that
if you're willing.
Copy !req
66. If you acknowledge that
the life you have now...
Copy !req
67. is not what you want anymore.
Copy !req
68. Complete host acceptance.
Copy !req
69. The process isn't complete.
Copy !req
70. I'll take a few days before
you're fully in control.
Copy !req
71. But once that happens...
Copy !req
72. life will be yours again.
Copy !req
73. Do you want to become
your best self, Emily?
Copy !req
74. I do.
Copy !req
75. Lana said Edge asked her
to find more candidates.
Copy !req
76. So until we can figure out
how to stop him,
Copy !req
77. we need to convince people to stay away.
Copy !req
78. Lois, he's offering people jobs
and money.
Copy !req
79. Things they need to feel
in control of their lives again.
Copy !req
80. Boys, bus will be here in a minute.
Copy !req
81. Clark, we have to do something.
And nobody's going to listen to me.
Copy !req
82. They haven't since that first town hall,
but they will to you.
Copy !req
83. - Hey. Which one's mine?
- Here.
Copy !req
84. Thanks.
Copy !req
85. All right, guys, we're probably
gonna have another late night
Copy !req
86. working on this Edge case.
Copy !req
87. All right.
Copy !req
88. We were gonna see Sarah's revue
tonight anyway, so...
Copy !req
89. You guys sure are spending quite a bit
of time together
Copy !req
90. for just being "friends."
Copy !req
91. Just trying to support her, Dad.
Copy !req
92. - Uh-huh.
- Right.
Copy !req
93. What? She said she just
wanted to be friends.
Copy !req
94. Might be more than that, but I will
leave it up to her to tell you.
Copy !req
95. Bus is pulling up.
Copy !req
96. All right, there's leftovers
in the fridge. Okay?
Copy !req
97. All right. Love you guys. Bye.
Copy !req
98. - I gotta go meet Lana at the Gazette.
- Okay.
Copy !req
99. Clark, you are Martha Kent's son.
Copy !req
100. She was helping people here
way before Edge showed up.
Copy !req
101. They will listen to you.
Copy !req
102. - Okay. Bye.
- Bye.
Copy !req
103. And none of these people
are acting differently at all?
Copy !req
104. I mean, the only change I see
is how happy they are.
Copy !req
105. Like, they're truly excited to be there.
Copy !req
106. To be a part of something,
to change their lives.
Copy !req
107. What is he doing with them?
Copy !req
108. Personal development, self-improvement,
trust exercises.
Copy !req
109. I really don't know the specifics.
Copy !req
110. Well, sounds like a cult, only Edge is
power-brainwashing free of charge.
Copy !req
111. The only other thing
I can tell you
Copy !req
112. is they started
these morning "togethers"
Copy !req
113. - at Victoria May's.
- "Togethers?"
Copy !req
114. Mmm-hmm.
Camaraderie-building breakfasts.
Copy !req
115. Oh, I'm gonna be late.
Copy !req
116. Wait.
Copy !req
117. Lana, maybe you should take a break.
Copy !req
118. This is kind of starting
to get really dangerous,
Copy !req
119. and I don't want anything
to happen to you.
Copy !req
120. It's okay, Lois. Really.
Copy !req
121. I mean, if I can keep Edge from hurting
just one person, it's worth it.
Copy !req
122. Think I should head over to the diner.
Go full intervention on this breakfast.
Copy !req
123. No, you stay focused on getting
what you can on Edge's minions.
Copy !req
124. I know someone who might have
a better shot at getting through.
Copy !req
125. Okay. Hey, boys!
Copy !req
126. Hey, come on over.
Copy !req
127. - Hey, Mr. Cushing.
- Hey.
Copy !req
128. Jordan, listen, I...
I just want to say thank you
Copy !req
129. for stepping up and helping Sarah
with her audition the other day.
Copy !req
130. That... that really saved the day, man.
Copy !req
131. Yeah. Uh, thanks.
Copy !req
132. - Okay. You don't want to be late.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
133. Hey, we'll see you later, okay?
Copy !req
134. Yeah.
Copy !req
135. Can't wait to see you up there tonight.
Copy !req
136. Don't ask. He's having some
kind of personality crisis.
Copy !req
137. Really?
Copy !req
138. Yeah, he keeps telling me
how he's changed for good
Copy !req
139. and how he feels better.
Copy !req
140. Things improve for a little bit.
Copy !req
141. It's the same crap as always,
and then he crashes
Copy !req
142. - like your brother's about to.
- What?
Copy !req
143. I told you, stay away
from Tegan Wickhem.
Copy !req
144. Just trust me, okay?
Copy !req
145. Clark?
Copy !req
146. - Emily, hey!
- I heard you were back in town.
Copy !req
147. Yeah. Yeah.
I'm sorry I haven't seen you.
Copy !req
148. It's been crazy since we moved here.
Copy !req
149. I bet. Well, me too, actually.
But for the better.
Copy !req
150. Oh, yeah? I heard you were working
at Edge EnerCorp.
Copy !req
151. It has changed my life.
Copy !req
152. I feel great.
Copy !req
153. I can think better, focus.
Copy !req
154. You know, problems that seemed
impossible before are like nothing now.
Copy !req
155. Really? Wow. You know what? Actually,
I would love to talk to you about that.
Copy !req
156. You're looking for work?
Copy !req
157. - Uh, well...
- It's okay. Just talk to Lana.
Copy !req
158. She hooked me up,
got me into the program.
Copy !req
159. I'm sure she'd be happy
to help her old boyfriend.
Copy !req
160. - Yeah, I'll...
- I gotta go.
Copy !req
161. Let me know if I can be of help.
Copy !req
162. It was so good to see you, Clark.
Copy !req
163. - Yeah, you too.
- Take care.
Copy !req
164. Thank God you're back.
Copy !req
165. Edge just sent someone over with
a massive ad buy for tomorrow's paper.
Copy !req
166. - For more recruits?
- Twice as many.
Copy !req
167. Whatever crazy voodoo
Edge is doing to these people,
Copy !req
168. he's kicking into high gear.
Copy !req
169. Where are you going?
Copy !req
170. Oh, to make a scene.
Copy !req
171. - Lois.
- Where's Edge?
Copy !req
172. He's in a group meeting.
Copy !req
173. I just found out
about the ad this morning.
Copy !req
174. You don't want anything to do
with what he's offering.
Copy !req
175. Miss Lane...
Copy !req
176. You all need to walk away right now.
Walk away.
Copy !req
177. Don't touch me.
Copy !req
178. I'm sorry. If everyone could give
Miss Lane and I a moment,
Copy !req
179. I promise this won't take long.
Copy !req
180. I know this sounds insane,
because it is,
Copy !req
181. but he wants to erase everything you are
and replace it with something else.
Copy !req
182. Well, that was desperate.
Copy !req
183. I know what you're doing.
Copy !req
184. Providing good jobs
to a community in need.
Copy !req
185. You're putting Kryptonian
consciousnesses into people's bodies.
Copy !req
186. You are taking them over
and giving them powers.
Copy !req
187. And your evidence for this is...
Copy !req
188. Derek Powell, Reno Rosetti, Leslie.
Copy !req
189. So two dead men
and my personal assistant.
Copy !req
190. I have to say, this story has holes
even by your standards.
Copy !req
191. We both know it's the truth.
Copy !req
192. In my experience,
truth is rather subjective.
Copy !req
193. Who do you think people
are more likely to believe?
Copy !req
194. A has-been slumming it
at the local paper
Copy !req
195. or the man who's giving this town
the best economy it's ever known?
Copy !req
196. These people are not puppets
to be controlled by you.
Copy !req
197. They have dreams.
Copy !req
198. They have families.
Copy !req
199. No one is being forced
to do anything against their will.
Copy !req
200. Everyone's made the same offer,
the chance
Copy !req
201. for a better life. Says so right there.
Copy !req
202. We're not publishing this.
Copy !req
203. I guess word of mouth
will have to suffice.
Copy !req
204. You can't stop this, Lois.
Copy !req
205. Perhaps it's time you use that device
you have to call in your Super Friend.
Copy !req
206. Perhaps it is.
Copy !req
207. Risky, though.
Copy !req
208. Need I remind you where he's from?
Copy !req
209. He may take comfort knowing
there are others here just like him.
Copy !req
210. As John Irons prophesied.
Copy !req
211. Superman is nothing like them.
Copy !req
212. I'm excited to find out.
Copy !req
213. Hey, looks like you finally
figured out that locker.
Copy !req
214. Yeah... No... Yeah, I took your advice.
Copy !req
215. You know, nothing good ever comes
from anger, so...
Copy !req
216. Hey, uh, Tegan.
Copy !req
217. Hey. Um...
Copy !req
218. I was just wondering if,
like, maybe, uh,
Copy !req
219. you wanted to hang out
after school sometime?
Copy !req
220. Hang out. Like, just the two of us?
Copy !req
221. Yeah. I mean, doesn't have to be
like that formal or anything. Just...
Copy !req
222. Grab a bite at the diner.
Copy !req
223. Um...
Copy !req
224. Look, I'm sure you're a really
sweet guy and all...
Copy !req
225. Look, I just thought...
Copy !req
226. I don't know, I just thought, like,
we were trading looks and...
Copy !req
227. Well, yeah, I mean, you had that
broken arm and you looked so lonely.
Copy !req
228. I was just trying to be nice.
Copy !req
229. Yeah. Right.
Copy !req
230. Look, I wasn't trying to hurt
your feelings or anything.
Copy !req
231. No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's... it's... it's all good.
Copy !req
232. It's my bad.
Copy !req
233. - Cool.
- See you later.
Copy !req
234. Whoo! Looks like you need
a new playbook, QB2.
Copy !req
235. You got to work on closing that deal
like you close your locker.
Copy !req
236. - Clark, are you here?
- In the kitchen.
Copy !req
237. We got a problem.
Copy !req
238. Morgan Edge is ramping up
that program of his.
Copy !req
239. Oh, my God! What happened?
Copy !req
240. I went to stop this bank robbery
and I got hit.
Copy !req
241. - Did they use Kryptonite?
- No. Regular bullets.
Copy !req
242. This isn't normal.
Superman doesn't bruise,
Copy !req
243. especially not from bullets.
Copy !req
244. You think it has something to do
with that gas Rosetti used?
Copy !req
245. I don't know.
We're gonna have to call my dad.
Copy !req
246. Sorry about messing up the intro.
Copy !req
247. I didn't even notice. You sounded great.
Copy !req
248. Thanks.
Copy !req
249. How are you so awesome at piano?
Copy !req
250. Do you have any other little secret
talents you're not telling me about?
Copy !req
251. Um... Nah, this is pretty much it.
Copy !req
252. Well, thank you for everything.
Copy !req
253. All the time you've put into this.
It really means a lot having you here.
Copy !req
254. I want to be here.
Copy !req
255. Bless you.
Copy !req
256. I... I must have allergies or something.
Copy !req
257. Jordan, I...
Copy !req
258. Jordan!
Copy !req
259. Jordan.
Copy !req
260. Something's wrong with me.
Copy !req
261. You're infected, too.
Copy !req
262. Come on.
Copy !req
263. Here, honey.
Copy !req
264. So, what's happening?
Copy !req
265. The Kryptonite gas
that Rosetti used on me at the DOD,
Copy !req
266. it was a bioweapon, and I think
it might be a communicable.
Copy !req
267. Like a virus?
Copy !req
268. So I'm... I'm getting
Kryptonite sickness from you.
Copy !req
269. Yeah.
Copy !req
270. Clark, it's not your fault.
Copy !req
271. You didn't even know
anything was happening until today.
Copy !req
272. You have super-healing,
so how long are you sick for?
Copy !req
273. Your dad has never been sick
a day in his life.
Copy !req
274. Well, I'm not that bad.
Copy !req
275. Ow!
Copy !req
276. This wasn't supposed to happen.
Copy !req
277. Really? Because it sure
seems like a weapon
Copy !req
278. designed to hurt Superman
would hurt Superman.
Copy !req
279. It was only meant as a last resort,
just to weaken him temporarily.
Copy !req
280. Then why is my son sick?
Copy !req
281. Explain that to me.
You put your own grandson in harm's way.
Copy !req
282. Sam, how do we fix this?
Copy !req
283. My guys are working on it.
Copy !req
284. Yo, Sarah.
Copy !req
285. - Hi.
- Hey.
Copy !req
286. Are there gonna be refreshments
at this thing, or what?
Copy !req
287. Uh, have you seen Jordan?
Copy !req
288. No. He's probably just putting on
his best black tee for the show.
Copy !req
289. - You know how it goes.
- No, I don't, because, uh,
Copy !req
290. he left about an hour ago,
and he hasn't come back.
Copy !req
291. Did he tell you where he was going?
Copy !req
292. No. He just ran out of rehearsal
like a frightened little rabbit.
Copy !req
293. I...
Copy !req
294. We were really
having a nice time together.
Copy !req
295. Or at least I thought we were
until he completely ghosted me.
Copy !req
296. Sarah, I don't think it's about you.
Copy !req
297. I'll find him.
Copy !req
298. Okay, well, hurry up, because
I think I'm the first one up.
Copy !req
299. All right.
Copy !req
300. Emily.
Copy !req
301. Emily. Hey,
I've been meaning to ask you,
Copy !req
302. how's it going with the program?
Copy !req
303. Oh.
Copy !req
304. Mr. Edge is a genius.
Copy !req
305. That he somehow figured out a process
to completely transform people's lives,
Copy !req
306. it's... it's amazing.
Copy !req
307. What process?
Copy !req
308. I'm sorry. I assumed you'd already
gone through it.
Copy !req
309. No, I haven't.
Copy !req
310. What did he do to you exactly?
Copy !req
311. Mr. Edge was very clear
that we not tell anyone.
Copy !req
312. Emily, we've known each other
since the fifth grade. You can trust me.
Copy !req
313. Lana, do you have a moment?
Copy !req
314. I'll see you later.
Copy !req
315. It seems you've been looking into
things that don't concern you.
Copy !req
316. Well, you put me in charge
of the Young Executive Program.
Copy !req
317. I should at least know
what it's really about.
Copy !req
318. And is this to satisfy
your own curiosity,
Copy !req
319. or so that you can run
and tell Lois Lane?
Copy !req
320. I never told her anything.
Copy !req
321. It's okay.
Copy !req
322. As evidenced by today's spectacle,
Miss Lane is desperate.
Copy !req
323. In fact, I'd have been more surprised
Copy !req
324. if she hadn't tried
to scare you into helping.
Copy !req
325. Emily told me about
a process she went under.
Copy !req
326. What is she talking about?
Copy !req
327. An offer I made her.
Copy !req
328. The same one I'm about to
make right now to you.
Copy !req
329. And make no mistake...
Copy !req
330. the answer you give
will impact the rest of your life.
Copy !req
331. - Jordan, where are you?
- Upstairs.
Copy !req
332. It's like Iditarod-level cold in here.
Copy !req
333. Your brother's sick.
Copy !req
334. Does that have something to do
with you flaking on Sarah?
Copy !req
335. - I got to get back to her.
- You're not going anywhere.
Copy !req
336. Sarah's going on any minute.
I can't just abandon her.
Copy !req
337. She'll be okay.
Copy !req
338. No, she won't.
Copy !req
339. This is exactly what her dad did.
I can't let that happen again.
Copy !req
340. I know you want to be there for her,
but you cannot go anywhere
Copy !req
341. until we know exactly what is going on.
Copy !req
342. Wait, we don't even know
what's going on with him?
Copy !req
343. The Kryptonite that infected
Copy !req
344. your brother is affecting him
differently than me.
Copy !req
345. Your grandfather
is working with the doctors
Copy !req
346. to figure out a way to help him.
Copy !req
347. Jonathan, he's gonna be fine.
Copy !req
348. Dad, that does not seem fine.
Copy !req
349. It's getting harder to breathe.
Copy !req
350. - What is happening to him?
- We can't wait for your dad.
Copy !req
351. Let me call you back.
Copy !req
352. Why's Clark leaving?
Copy !req
353. To do what you can't.
Copy !req
354. Lois, that gas Rosetti
used on Clark was synthetic.
Copy !req
355. Experimental. It hadn't been tested.
Copy !req
356. We didn't know
what his reaction would be.
Copy !req
357. All my life,
your job was your number one priority.
Copy !req
358. Accepting that wasn't easy.
Copy !req
359. But I learned to live with it,
Copy !req
360. and somehow even grew to respect it
Copy !req
361. because I believed that
you were trying to do the right thing.
Copy !req
362. And I honestly naively thought that
once I had a family, you might change.
Copy !req
363. Start putting us first.
Copy !req
364. But I was wrong.
Copy !req
365. Knowingly and willingly
Copy !req
366. endangering the lives
of the people I love?
Copy !req
367. I can't forgive that.
Copy !req
368. So when this is over, I want you
to leave and never come back.
Copy !req
369. You're not welcome here anymore.
Copy !req
370. Jordan's been infected with Kryptonite.
It's affecting his breathing.
Copy !req
371. He's in respiratory distress.
Copy !req
372. Why?
Copy !req
373. The Kryptonite is causing his lungs
to fill with fluid.
Copy !req
374. As he can condense
large quantities of air...
Copy !req
375. He's cooling it like I do.
Copy !req
376. Can you get the Kryptonite out of him?
Copy !req
377. Likely.
Copy !req
378. But only the same way
we have with you in the past.
Copy !req
379. What?
Copy !req
380. Come here. Come here.
Copy !req
381. We're gonna have to burn the Kryptonite
out of your system.
Copy !req
382. Burn it? How?
Copy !req
383. With heat. With...
Copy !req
384. some immense heat.
Copy !req
385. - No, no, no, no...
- Listen to me.
Copy !req
386. Listen to me.
This is the only way, okay?
Copy !req
387. We have to do this, otherwise your lungs
could completely freeze.
Copy !req
388. Dad, I'm scared.
Copy !req
389. I'm gonna be right here.
You're gonna take my hand. Okay?
Copy !req
390. You are gonna squeeze
as hard as you need to, okay?
Copy !req
391. You can do this.
Copy !req
392. Mom.
Copy !req
393. Mom, you okay?
Copy !req
394. I should've protected him.
Copy !req
395. Mom, this is... This isn't on you.
Copy !req
396. I'm your mom.
Copy !req
397. My one job is to keep you guys safe,
and I keep failing at it.
Copy !req
398. No. No, you don't.
Copy !req
399. You were almost gunned down
in John Henry's RV.
Copy !req
400. That was my fault.
Copy !req
401. Got into a car accident.
Copy !req
402. That was also my fault.
Copy !req
403. I feel like I can't turn around without
one of you being in mortal danger.
Copy !req
404. Why is it so hard to keep you safe?
Copy !req
405. I don't know.
Copy !req
406. Just...
Copy !req
407. Just part of being
a super family, I guess.
Copy !req
408. Hey, come here.
Dad will figure something out.
Copy !req
409. He always does.
Copy !req
410. - Lana, I saved you both seats.
- Hey. Thank you.
Copy !req
411. - Hi. How are you doing?
- Hey. Good to see you.
Copy !req
412. Hello, everyone,
and thank you for coming.
Copy !req
413. - Our students tonight were...
- How did everything go with Edge?
Copy !req
414. Oh, amazing!
Copy !req
415. He explained everything to me.
Copy !req
416. It all makes perfect sense.
Copy !req
417. - Thank you.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
418. And for our first performance,
we have the very talented Sarah Cushing
Copy !req
419. singing "Little Light" by Amos Lee.
Copy !req
420. Um...
Copy !req
421. I'm sorry. I can't do this.
Copy !req
422. Yes, you can.
Copy !req
423. Just like being at home, okay?
Copy !req
424. Some days I can't get myself
Out the box
Copy !req
425. And some days I can't find keys
To any locks
Copy !req
426. Some days I feel like
It's all overblown
Copy !req
427. And then I look at you
When I don't feel so alone
Copy !req
428. And I say
Copy !req
429. Hey, let your little light shine
Copy !req
430. Let your little light shine
Copy !req
431. For the world to see
Copy !req
432. Just waiting
to hear back from my team,
Copy !req
433. and we'll get everything straightened
out with Jordan and your dad.
Copy !req
434. Little late for that, isn't it?
Copy !req
435. Why'd you do it?
Copy !req
436. Why did you build those weapons
to hurt my dad?
Copy !req
437. Your father's the most powerful being
this world's ever known.
Copy !req
438. My job is to keep us safe.
Copy !req
439. Which means being prepared
for any scenario,
Copy !req
440. no matter how unlikely.
Copy !req
441. You and I, we're not like your dad,
or even Jordan.
Copy !req
442. He's my twin brother.
Copy !req
443. Yes, but the minute his powers surfaced,
Copy !req
444. you and him began walking
two very different paths.
Copy !req
445. That scares you, doesn't it?
Copy !req
446. It does.
Copy !req
447. You know, I think you're wrong.
Copy !req
448. I think you're wrong
about you and I being alike.
Copy !req
449. How so?
Copy !req
450. I could never be scared of my family.
Copy !req
451. No matter what powers they might have.
Copy !req
452. Jonathan, you haven't seen
the things I have.
Copy !req
453. Yeah, you're right.
Copy !req
454. But in the end,
I don't think that would matter
Copy !req
455. because I'd still trust them,
Copy !req
456. and you'd still be a coward.
Copy !req
457. There's a fight to be won
For the love you find at home
Copy !req
458. Mom.
Copy !req
459. - You were wonderful out there.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
460. It felt really good once I got going.
Copy !req
461. - Yeah.
- I told you, you'd kill it.
Copy !req
462. Thank you, Dad, for helping me.
Copy !req
463. Please forgive if I don't walk
Copy !req
464. Emily, where are you going?
Avery's not done yet.
Copy !req
465. I'll be right back.
Copy !req
466. That was weird.
Copy !req
467. Yeah.
Copy !req
468. - Let me go see what's wrong.
- Wait. Kyle...
Copy !req
469. Have you seen this?
Copy !req
470. He's still weak.
Copy !req
471. The exact reason why I just activated
some of our Subjekts.
Copy !req
472. To take down Superman?
Copy !req
473. Not him.
Copy !req
474. The one he protects.
Copy !req
475. - The Kryptonite is nearly gone.
- You're doing great.
Copy !req
476. You're almost there.
You're almost there.
Copy !req
477. That's it!
Copy !req
478. It's over. That's it. It's over.
Copy !req
479. You're done. Hey, you did it, okay?
Copy !req
480. Hey, I'm proud of you.
Copy !req
481. You all right?
Copy !req
482. Come here. I'm proud of you.
Come on, stand up.
Copy !req
483. Stand up.
Copy !req
484. What do you mean you don't know
how long it will affect him?
Copy !req
485. No, I haven't tested the prototype.
Copy !req
486. He wasn't exactly in the mood.
Copy !req
487. Just get me an answer.
Copy !req
488. Can we just, like,
call them or something?
Copy !req
489. It's named
the Fortress of Solitude for a reason.
Copy !req
490. I know it sucks.
We just have to be patient, okay?
Copy !req
491. - Hey, Lana.
- Lois.
Copy !req
492. You know how you kept asking me
Copy !req
493. if anyone over at Edge EnerCorp
was acting differently?
Copy !req
494. I just saw it for the first time,
with Emily Phan.
Copy !req
495. Emily?
Copy !req
496. Yeah. She left in the middle
of her daughter's performance.
Copy !req
497. She would never do that.
Copy !req
498. Avery is everything to her.
Copy !req
499. I mean, it's like she was...
Copy !req
500. She was someone else.
Copy !req
501. I'll get it.
Copy !req
502. I guess this is what Edge meant.
Copy !req
503. What do you mean?
Copy !req
504. Tonight, before I left the office,
Copy !req
505. he made me an offer,
Copy !req
506. to do what he's doing to everyone else.
Copy !req
507. - What?
- I turned him down.
Copy !req
508. Lana, why wouldn't you
mention this before?
Copy !req
509. Because I was nervous.
Copy !req
510. He knew I was feeding you information.
Copy !req
511. Hey, Mom, I think it's for you.
Copy !req
512. Lois, I'm worried.
Copy !req
513. What if he does something?
Copy !req
514. Mom?
Copy !req
515. Lois?
Copy !req
516. - She shouldn't have called.
- Lois?
Copy !req
517. Not this time.
Copy !req
518. This isn't you.
Copy !req
519. Not anymore.
Copy !req
520. Get out of here.
Copy !req
521. Keep hitting this till he comes.
It's all we can do.
Copy !req
522. No, no, no. We need to go to the barn.
Copy !req
523. I'll keep 'em busy.
Copy !req
524. You took his weapons?
Copy !req
525. Kyle?
Copy !req
526. I just came from the performance.
Lana was scared.
Copy !req
527. - What's going on?
- Edge sent people to kill me.
Copy !req
528. It's not gonna happen.
Copy !req
529. Stay down.
Copy !req
530. The targets first.
Copy !req
531. So that's what Kryptonite
feels like, huh?
Copy !req
532. Yeah.
Copy !req
533. Dad?
Copy !req
534. I'm sorry, Jordan.
Copy !req
535. Your life right now has completely
changed because of who I am.
Copy !req
536. Everything that's happening to you,
Copy !req
537. you didn't ask for any of this.
Copy !req
538. I didn't.
Copy !req
539. But you didn't ask
for what happened to you either.
Copy !req
540. Here, give me the gun.
Copy !req
541. Pretty good with that thing.
Copy !req
542. We're not
just gonna kill you, Lois.
Copy !req
543. He wanted you to suffer first.
Copy !req
544. They're gone.
Copy !req
545. Better than ice.
Copy !req
546. Unless that was a lie
you told me when I was a kid.
Copy !req
547. Only way I could get you to do it.
Copy !req
548. We sure went through our fair share
of frozen peas, didn't we?
Copy !req
549. God, even as a kid,
Copy !req
550. you were always coming home bruised up.
Copy !req
551. I was never there to keep you
from getting them, though, was I?
Copy !req
552. Dad.
Copy !req
553. It's true.
Copy !req
554. Everything you said is true.
Copy !req
555. I wasn't the best father.
Copy !req
556. I was gone... a lot.
Copy !req
557. And I wasn't there to protect you
where a parent should.
Copy !req
558. You were, tonight.
Copy !req
559. Couldn't let 'em hurt my grandson.
Copy !req
560. And my little girl.
Copy !req
561. Lois, we're gonna stay here
till this is over.
Copy !req
562. As of now, you,
the boys, Clark, Smallville,
Copy !req
563. that's my priority.
Copy !req
564. Good.
Copy !req
565. Because that war John Henry Irons
was talking about...
Copy !req
566. I think it's about to happen.
Copy !req
567. Think Mom's gonna let you
keep the solar weapons now?
Copy !req
568. I don't know.
Copy !req
569. I mean, they're pretty much
the only reason we're alive, so...
Copy !req
570. Would suck to come home
and find out I was an only child.
Copy !req
571. Yeah.
Copy !req
572. So...
Copy !req
573. So you're just, like, fine now?
Copy !req
574. Yeah. Other than ice breath.
Copy !req
575. So you have that now for good, or what?
Copy !req
576. - Think so.
- Wow.
Copy !req
577. What's that feel like?
Copy !req
578. Like having a piece of wintergreen gum
in your mouth at all times.
Copy !req
579. Nice.
Copy !req
580. I can't believe what happened.
Copy !req
581. Avery Phan's mom and Mr. Cushing?
Copy !req
582. Right. But it wasn't them, you know?
Copy !req
583. They were super, super brainwashed.
Copy !req
584. Think Grandpa is sending a few people
to go look from 'em both.
Copy !req
585. Are they gonna tell Sarah?
Copy !req
586. I don't know.
Copy !req
587. Oh, my God! What happened?
Copy !req
588. Are you drunk?
Copy !req
589. - No.
- Honey, could you excuse us?
Copy !req
590. Mom.
Copy !req
591. Please, I need to speak
to your father alone.
Copy !req
592. Sure.
Copy !req
593. - Are you?
- No.
Copy !req
594. No. Look, I told you
I am done with all that.
Copy !req
595. I'm trying to improve myself, Lana.
I really am.
Copy !req
596. But something happened to me tonight.
Copy !req
597. I was at the performance.
Copy !req
598. We were talking to Sarah,
and then I blacked out.
Copy !req
599. Next thing you know,
I'm out in the middle of a field,
Copy !req
600. somewhere outside of town,
and my ribs...
Copy !req
601. My ribs are hurting,
Copy !req
602. and I don't know how I got there,
Copy !req
603. I don't know what's going on...
Copy !req
604. What?
Copy !req
605. The steps you're taking
to improve yourself,
Copy !req
606. did Morgan Edge make you an offer?
Copy !req
607. How can I help you?
Copy !req
608. I want to be my best self.
Copy !req
609. I wanted to be better.
Copy !req
610. For you and for our girls, babe.
Copy !req
611. Hey, Chrissy.
Copy !req
612. You said if we kept digging,
the answer would present itself,
Copy !req
613. and honestly, for a while,
I thought you were nuts
Copy !req
614. 'cause nothing new was coming to light.
Copy !req
615. But then I got back all the research
on the powered people we know,
Copy !req
616. and I found this little nugget
that means something.
Copy !req
617. I just don't know what yet,
but thought your big brain
Copy !req
618. might be able to connect the dots.
Copy !req
619. Chrissy, what are you talking about?
Copy !req
620. Irma Sayres and David Fugelstad.
Copy !req
621. Who?
Copy !req
622. Leslie Larr and motel attacker guy.
Copy !req
623. Leslie Larr's real name is Irma Sayres?
Copy !req
624. Mmm-hmm. And the guy is David Fugelstad.
Copy !req
625. And guess what?
Copy !req
626. I found out they're both
originally from Smallville.
Copy !req
627. Derek Powell's from New Carthage,
Copy !req
628. Reno Rosetti is from Metropolis.
Copy !req
629. David Fugelstad and Leslie Larr
are from Smallville.
Copy !req
630. When Derek Powell killed himself,
what did he say to you?
Copy !req
631. That he was already dead.
Copy !req
632. And his powers were fritzing.
Copy !req
633. Yeah, just like Rosetti's.
Copy !req
634. That didn't happen when I fought David.
Copy !req
635. And it didn't happen with Leslie.
Copy !req
636. When I landed here,
Copy !req
637. there were meteor showers
all over the world for an entire week.
Copy !req
638. Right. Remnants of Krypton.
That's why there's Kryptonite.
Copy !req
639. Right. Every form of Kryptonite.
Copy !req
640. And the kind that landed here
is buried in the mines.
Copy !req
641. Was X-Kryptonite.
Copy !req
642. So the only place in the world
that has X-Kryptonite
Copy !req
643. is also the only place that has people
Copy !req
644. who've been exposed to it long enough
to accept its effects.
Copy !req
645. Like Tag Harris.
Copy !req
646. It's not Smallville
Edge needs to build his army.
Copy !req
647. It's the people.
Copy !req
648. What?
Copy !req
649. It's your ELT.
Copy !req
650. Edge.
Copy !req
651. I'm glad you came.
Copy !req
652. Everything you're doing
is going to stop.
Copy !req
653. That's exactly what your friend
Lois Lane keeps saying to me.
Copy !req
654. You can't make that happen
any more than she can.
Copy !req
655. Did you really think
I'd be giving people powers
Copy !req
656. without having them myself?
Copy !req
657. You see, I got mine
the same time you did, Kal-El.
Copy !req
658. - When I arrived on this planet.
- When you arrived?
Copy !req
659. I think it's time
you learned the truth about who I am,
Copy !req
660. and where I'm really from...
Copy !req
661. brother.
Copy !req
