Superman & Lois 3x3

1. Previously on Superman & Lois...

2. I signed the divorce papers.

3. - I'll talk to you later. - Yeah.

4. Henry Miller? You're supposed to be in jail. You have powers?

5. They granted him a compassionate release

6. 'cause he only had a few weeks left to live.

7. He had a terminal brain tumor.

8. Did someone pressure you to release him?

9. - This interview is over. - Who the hell are you?

10. Follow him. We have to find out who he works for.

11. - Did you give Henry Miller powers? - Is that an accusation?

12. What's coming for me, it's uncontrollable.

13. How could you possibly understand that?

14. I just found out I have cancer. And I'm really scared.

15. I'm not ready for everything to change.

16. We are gonna get through this together, as a family.

17. Clark!

18. Clark!

19. Clark!

20. Clark!

21. Clark!

22. Clark!

23. Clark, where are you? Clark!

24. Clark! Clark!

25. Clark!

26. Clark!

27. Lois!

28. Clark!

29. Lois!

30. - Morning, sis. - Hey, Luce. You got a minute?

31. Yeah. What is it?

32. I know. I know. I haven't checked in in a while.

33. No, it's not that.

34. There's something I need to tell you.

35. A few weeks ago I talked to a doctor

36. about some irritation I had had in my breasts,

37. and that led to a biopsy and some other tests.

38. I found out I have stage three inflammatory breast cancer.

39. Stage three?

40. Yeah. It basically means it hasn't spread to distant organs,

41. but it may have to nearby muscles and lymph nodes.

42. I was shocked. There weren't any lumps.

43. It was just irritation and swelling.

44. It's rare and aggressive, and I'm gonna start chemotherapy this week.

45. And then I'll have surgery and radiation,

46. so that if it has spread, we get it all.

47. Uh-huh.

48. Is there any Kryptonian technology at your fortress that can help?

49. My mother said there's nothing she can do.

50. I'm gonna get through this, Dad.

51. Oh!

52. I know you will, pumpkin.

53. You are the strongest... Strongest person I know.

54. - Where are you going? - The Gazette.

55. Now?

56. Yeah. Judge Regan expedited my FOIA request

57. to look at the sealed case files connected to Bruno Mannheim.

58. I'm gonna get Chrissy going through them, see what she can find.

59. Okay. You remember you have your first treatment today, right?

60. That's why I'm getting Chrissy up to speed

61. so that she spearheads the investigation.

62. I'm not just gonna sit around and wait till chemo, Clark.

63. All right.

64. We read that chemo affects your appetite.

65. - Food loses its taste. - So we made all your favorites.

66. Hi. I'd like a double cheeseburger, a side of tater tots,

67. - a new mom and a chocolate milkshake.

68. Sarah, be serious.

69. Sarah Cortez.

70. All right. Your turn. Come on.

71. Lana Lang.

72. Okay. You are both in the system.

73. We just need Sophie and Kyle to do the same.

74. Oh, Kyle won't be necessary.

75. So is that thing designed to keep bad people out or just me in?

76. A little bit of both right now. Come directly home after school.

77. Why am I the only one that's grounded? Nat went and Mr. Irons isn't mad.

78. She didn't lie about going to a party in Metropolis. You did.

79. Well, I have a dinner with Dad after school.

80. - So, unless I can't go to that either... - Come straight home after.

81. - I mean, I love her, but sometimes—

82. Yeah, yeah. I know. It is never easy. Trust me.

83. You did a great job with Nat.

84. Well, I can't take much credit. It was mostly her mom.

85. That's got to be hard.

86. What with everything Lois is going through.

87. I mean, you know, I definitely feel for her, but she's not my wife.

88. All right. Just call if you have any questions, okay? All right.

89. What if I can't read your handwriting?

90. I am handing over years' worth of an investigation.

91. Deciphering my handwriting is the price of admission.

92. None of these people were members of Intergang?

93. Not a single one.

94. Well, if I could tell you one thing about Bruno Mannheim,

95. it's that he always covers his tracks, so there has to be another connection.

96. There is one prisoner other than Henry Miller

97. that Judge Regan granted compassionate release to.

98. James DiStefano. Some sort of tech-genius-turned-elite-killer

99. who has no connection to Mannheim either.

100. It's like all these criminals are in some secret society of—

101. Wait. This release has a physician signature. "A.H."

102. A.H.

103. - Aleister Hook. - You know him?

104. He was a doctor at Hob's Bay Medical.

105. Rumor is he fixes up Bruno's guys, but I could never prove it.

106. - Where does he work now? - Um, Danner Medical.

107. They have facilities all over Metropolis.

108. Let's go.

109. - Any word? - I, uh, can't get a hold of her.

110. I'm sorry, Mr. Kent. We're going to need to give her chair to someone else.

111. Try not to worry. I see this all the time with first-time patients.

112. But she really should reschedule her treatment as soon as possible.

113. Well, this is a bust.

114. Canceling the electricity is always last if you have to clear out in a hurry.

115. So you think they just left?

116. If they cleared this place out,

117. that means they're clearing out the rest,

118. which means the clock is ticking.

119. Lois, look.

120. It's still fresh.

121. Maybe a DNA analysis will reveal whose blood this is.

122. So you just happen to have a forensic kit?

123. It was a birthday gift from my dad.

124. Mine just gave me a $20 bill

125. - and a thank-you-card.

126. Hey, why is Clark texting to see if I know where you are?

127. - I missed my appointment. - Appointment for what?

128. - For chemo? That's today? - He's gonna be so mad at me.

129. I'm so mad at you. How could you forget about your chemo treatment?

130. I just got swept up in the case.

131. And now I'm, like, what? Your accomplice?

132. - This is not okay, Lois. - It's fine. I can reschedule.

133. Okay. You're gonna text Clark back right now,

134. and then I'm gonna watch you reschedule that appointment.

135. - Hey, Sam. What can I do for you? - Just got some stuff for Lois.

136. Is she upstairs?

137. Uh, actually, she's on her way back from an investigation.

138. You let Lois miss chemo for an investigation?

139. Whoa, whoa.

140. I didn't let her do anything. There was a break in the case, and—

141. I don't give a damn about the case. There's always gonna be a case.

142. She's always gonna put it ahead of her own health.

143. You can't let her be selfless right now, Clark.

144. - I'll talk to her. - Once you do, have her call me.

145. You and I gotta work together on this.

146. So is your mom gonna be feeling sick after her treatment?

147. Everyone reacts differently to chemo, so it's kind of hard to say.

148. But it's definitely gonna get worse later on.

149. That sucks. I just wish there was something we could do to help.

150. Wait. What if we got her a gift?

151. - My mom's kind of hard to shop for. - She literally returns everything.

152. No, it would be something that she couldn't return.

153. - What do you have in mind? - Let me check with my dad first.

154. Here you go. You sure you don't want anything?

155. No, it's okay. I'm gonna actually get burgers with my dad later.

156. I heard you met a guy in Metropolis the other day.

157. Oh, yeah, we talked, but I didn't end up getting his number.

158. So you just ghosted him?

159. Candice, I'm sure she didn't ghost him.

160. No, no, no. It wasn't like that.

161. I got into a fight with some jerks from the party, so we all had to leave early.

162. Oh, I did not hear about that.

163. Uh...

164. I should get back to work.

165. - Give me a ride after? - Yeah, of course.

166. Okay.

167. So is there anything else you didn't tell her about the party?

168. - You mean Eliza? - Uh-huh.

169. - You know, I've had a lot going on, so— - You can't use Mom as an excuse.

170. - Okay. It was just a kiss, though. - From your ex-girlfriend.

171. - Who bought you a gold chain. - That he's still wearing.

172. - It was expensive. Okay, okay. - Dude, what is wrong with you?

173. I get it. I will tell her about Eliza. Just stop judging me.

174. You're right to be mad, but we have just gotten this break in the Mannheim case.

175. Do you really think I care about Bruno Mannheim right now?

176. - You skipped chemo, Lois. - It was an honest mistake.

177. - I legitimately just forgot. - Okay. Well, you can't just forget.

178. Look, babe, the boys woke up at the crack of dawn to make you breakfast.

179. - I didn't ask for that. - I know. I know. But you didn't have to.

180. They're worried about you. Just like your dad's worried about you.

181. Everyone in this family is trying to help you get through this,

182. but none of that matters if you don't get your treatments.

183. You're right. And this doesn't excuse any of that,

184. but you know that Bruno Mannheim is my white whale.

185. - Lois— - This is the story of a lifetime.

186. - I'm so close.

187. Okay. But this story is not more important than your health.

188. - I know that. - Do you?

189. I promise today was an accident. I already rescheduled for tomorrow.

190. Okay, great. Then we'll go together.

191. All right.

192. I just don't see how it's fair.

193. Four kids went to that party,

194. and somehow I'm the only one that gets grounded.

195. You're also the only one that didn't tell anyone where you were going.

196. I knew you'd take her side.

197. Mmm.

198. Well, there's no sides here. We both just want what's best for you.

199. Besides, your mom is still, uh,

200. you know, dealing with everything after the attack.

201. - How's she holding up? - Still pretty rattled, I think.

202. Yeah, figured as much.

203. I was thinking about calling the sheriff

204. and having him send a patrol car by the house.

205. No, you don't have to do that.

206. We just got a new security system put in.

207. Why? The other one's, like, a year old.

208. Sounds like somebody's just trying to make money off all this.

209. Oh, no, it's not like that. Mr. Irons put it in.

210. The guy who lives off of Main Street? That Mr. Irons?

211. What the hell does he know about security?

212. Uh...

213. I don't know. I didn't check his résumé.

214. I mean, Mom just wants to be safe, and that's all that matters.

215. - Right? - Yeah.

216. Hey, is that the person who attacked you?

217. Still trying to figure out how their powers work.

218. - Freaky. - Yeah.

219. You texted that you need to ask me something?

220. Oh, right. So I was talking to Jordan and Jonathan,

221. and they said they wanted to do something nice for Lois,

222. and so I was thinking maybe we could give her Mom's watch.

223. Why would you do that?

224. I mean, I can engrave all our names on it.

225. You know, show her that we're rooting for her, that we care.

226. It's kind of why I made it in the first place.

227. I'm sure you can find something else to give her.

228. - I mean, it's kind of perfect. - She's not your mother, Nat.

229. I know that. I just wanted to do this for her. It's important to me.

230. Do what you want. It's your watch.

231. Thanks again for the ride. I know you have a lot going on.

232. It's cool, okay? I wanted to see you.

233. Um...

234. You know that party that I was telling you about that we went to—

235. Candy Lane, why don't you get on inside?

236. - You too, Romeo. - Dad, quit trying to scare us.

237. Sorry, Mr. Pergande. Better get back to my mom.

238. - Night, Candice. - Night.

239. That's a nice truck you got there.

240. What'd you pay for that?

241. Uh...

242. I'm not sure.

243. - It was a gift. - It's a hell of a gift.

244. Guess you better get back on home then. Night, John-Boy.

245. Clark!

246. Clark! Clark!

247. Clark!

248. - Clark! - Lois!

249. Clark!

250. Lois!

251. This chair is uncomfortable.

252. Wanna switch?

253. No, 'cause then you'll be uncomfortable.

254. Let's switch.

255. Better?

256. - A little. - Good.

257. Clark?

258. Hmm?

259. - What is it? - Mmm-mmm.

260. - It's a mudslide in Nepal. - Go. I'll be fine.

261. You sure?

262. I can't believe it has so many moving parts.

263. And it doesn't need a battery?

264. Nope. It runs on kinetic energy, just like my dad's hammer.

265. - Was it super expensive? - It's priceless because she made it.

266. - That must have taken forever. - Dad helped.

267. Well, it's awesome that you're letting us give this to our mom.

268. It was Nat's decision.

269. - Is your dad cool with this? - Well, it's my watch to give.

270. This is what I'm doing with it.

271. Come on. We're gonna be late for school.

272. - What aren't you telling me? - How did you find me?

273. - I'm Lois Lane. I have my ways. - Lois, we can't do this again.

274. - Chrissy, listen to me. - No, this is a problem.

275. You have missed two appointments in two days. Something is wrong here.

276. I promise I will reschedule, but this is the closest I have ever gotten.

277. And while I am sitting in that chair, Bruno could be covering—

278. And while you're out chasing Bruno, you could be getting sicker.

279. I am just worried about your priorities.

280. My priority is to get better and also to take down Bruno Mannheim.

281. - That is not how priorities work. - You saw something.

282. There were a couple of guys loading trucks. I got their plates.

283. - Then we should go in there. - No. Lois, they might come back.

284. Then we can see what they haven't packed up yet.

285. - They had guns. - Then we better hurry.

286. Damn it, Lois. Lois. Lois.

287. People are talking, Lana. They think there's more to the story.

288. Look, I put out the statement the DOD provided.

289. I'm not even sure what happened myself.

290. It might be a good idea to go out there and say that.

291. Sorry. Am I interrupting?

292. Not at all. Emily, can we pick this up later?

293. You sure?

294. Hey.

295. Hey. I just figured someone as busy as you could use a coffee.

296. And just wanted to see how you're holding up with all this.

297. Yeah, it was pretty scary, but I'm fine.

298. Been too busy to dwell on it either way.

299. Looks like you beefed up security.

300. - Yeah. Felt pretty necessary. - Who set that up for you?

301. - Why are you asking? - I'm just curious, is all.

302. Well, Sarah mentioned something about,

303. I don't know, some new security protocols and stuff.

304. So that's why you're here.

305. Not to bring me coffee and see how I'm doing, but to snoop on me?

306. That's not it at all, Lana.

307. I just wanted to make sure things were on the up-and-up, all right?

308. - I care about you. - You care about your fragile ego.

309. So next time you wanna ask me something, ask it.

310. All right? Don't play these stupid little games.

311. Whoever set up my security system, that's none of your damn business.

312. Okay, look, Lana. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come in here and—

313. I have a very busy day ahead of me. Thanks for the coffee.

314. Thinking fast, Superman used an abandoned freighter ship

315. to airlift hundreds of villagers to safety.

316. Excuse me. I'm looking for my wife. She's receiving treatment here.

317. - Name? - Lois Lane.

318. Ms. Lane left before we could start.

319. I've been trying to reach her, but she's not picking up.

320. I know who that was.

321. Are you trying to get Superman mad at me?

322. Don't worry about it.

323. Hey, you keep saying that and I keep worrying.

324. What is all this equipment for?

325. - Don't jump the gun. - Just hurry up and get it...

326. We have to get out of here.

327. - No, no. They're coming from there. - I told you they had guns.

328. This way.

329. Lois.

330. This must have been what we found at the last facility.

331. Okay, we're in a room full of blood. It is freezing.

332. It sounded like there was a small militia outside.

333. - Can we please call Superman? - I'd step back from the door.

334. How long does it usually take?

335. Three seconds maybe ten if he's in space.

336. They must have done something to this freezer.

337. What does that even mean?

338. It means he's not coming.

339. - Lois is missing. - What happened?

340. I left her at her treatment to handle a situation in Nepal.

341. When I got back, they said she left early.

342. - How could you just leave her? - Lives were at stake.

343. My daughter's life is at stake.

344. You should have been there to make sure she didn't leave.

345. None of this is helpful right now. You can't hear her?

346. No. She must be somewhere insulated.

347. Right. I need access to your satellites so my Ai can run a scan.

348. Don't worry. We'll find her.

349. Jordan, my truck's gone.

350. I got an alert on my phone, so I went outside after class to check.

351. - It's not there. - What?

352. - Are you sure? - Yeah. I parked right next to Wellnitz.

353. - Wait. You think someone stole it? - Well, I mean, it didn't just disappear.

354. - Shoot. I left the watch in the console. - We should call the sheriff.

355. Yeah, I'm on it. Just hold up.

356. Candice, can we talk for a second?

357. What do you wanna say to me that you can't say in front of them?

358. I mean, it's just that your dad was acting kind of weird last night.

359. So you think that means he stole your truck?

360. No, but he did kinda ask how much it cost.

361. He was just making conversation.

362. It didn't seem like that.

363. - The way he asked— - Right. And the way he looks.

364. Because we're poor and we live in a trailer,

365. so he must have been planning to steal from you.

366. - Right? He's such a horrible person. - What? No, I wasn't saying that.

367. - I can't believe you'd even think that. - Candice.

368. - Yeah, it was definitely her dad. - The X-K dealer? Yeah, it was him.

369. It just sucks, 'cause I don't want him to get arrested.

370. Wait. Maybe if we find it ourselves, he doesn't have to.

371. - There's still no voices. - Maybe they cleared out.

372. - I'm scared, Lois. - Hey. We're gonna be okay.

373. Says the person who won't even go to her cancer treatment.

374. Do we really have to talk about that right now?

375. Yeah, we do. Do you have any idea how hard this is to be around?

376. You're sick, Lois. And you're refusing to get help.

377. I told you I rescheduled.

378. Yeah. That's what you said the last time.

379. But here we are, stuck in a death freezer instead.

380. - We had a lead. - No. You had an excuse.

381. Which you keep finding, because you're scared to get treatment.

382. He said everything.

383. They're coming this way.

384. What did you say to your father last night?

385. Hello to you too.

386. He came by my office asking about security systems.

387. Did you tell him something was going on between me and John Henry?

388. - No. - Well, your father certainly thought so.

389. Well, that's his business. I can't control what Dad thinks.

390. Just be mindful of what you tell him about me.

391. Sure. Do you wanna give me, like, a list of things that I can and cannot say?

392. - Don't be a smartass. - Mmm.

393. - Don't make everything about you. - I'm sorry. What did you say?

394. I said, "Don't make everything about you." It's selfish.

395. - I'm selfish? - Yeah.

396. Everything I do is for you and your sister.

397. - I work my ass off. - What? As the mayor?

398. That's a job you took to make yourself feel more important.

399. - You are so ungrateful. - I'm ungrateful?

400. - Yeah. - Okay.

401. - You know what? Go to your room. - Yeah, go ahead.

402. Boss everybody around like you usually do.

403. - I said get out of my face. - It's probably why Dad cheated on you.

404. Sarah... Honey...

405. So, that whole X-ray vision thing you got.

406. Is that gonna kick in or—

407. I don't know, man.

408. Just feel like it would really come in handy right about now.

409. Hedy was right. This is the place.

410. I mean, did she mention it was full of shady dudes with guns?

411. - 'Cause I hear them in there. - She found the truck, didn't she?

412. So what now? Call the sheriff?

413. By the time she gets here, it'll be too late.

414. Besides, isn't this what you've been training for?

415. Dad would kill me. I mean, he says I can't do this kind of stuff alone.

416. Well, then I'll do it myself. I'm getting that watch back.

417. Fine. It's all of us. But we cannot be seen.

418. Can't you just speed in there, knock them all out?

419. I mean, maybe. But we'd have to take out any cameras first.

420. No, forget that. I have a better idea.

421. How long can you hold your breath?

422. Hurry up. Let's go. Get it all out of here and back to the lab.

423. Lois Lane.

424. Superman!

425. Got her.

426. Superman!

427. Get somewhere safe and call the DOD.

428. I've been wanting to try these out.

429. Hey, what is that?

430. Whoo!

431. Hell yeah!

432. John, Superman's vitals are failing.

433. You need to get there.

434. You okay?

435. You two are next.

436. What were you thinking?

437. You know that Mannheim or anyone from Intergang

438. wouldn't think twice about killing you.

439. - Clark. - You didn't tell me where you were.

440. - Didn't tell me where you were going. - Babe.

441. And you weren't even alone, Lois.

442. - I know. - You brought Chrissy with you.

443. - You put her in danger. - I know, okay? I know.

444. Then why? Why would you do this, especially right now, when you're sick?

445. For that reason, right there.

446. Because no matter how many times I say it,

447. everyone is treating me the same way.

448. Like I'm fragile. And damn it, I am not.

449. Not yet, anyway. And until I am, everyone just needs to let me be me.

450. Fine.

451. It just doesn't feel like you're taking this

452. as seriously as you should be.

453. This is all I've thought about since the moment I found out.

454. Any time my mind is at rest, it pops into my head,

455. and it is so... exhausting.

456. - Let me help you. - With what?

457. I'm the one who has to sit in that uncomfortable chair for hours on end.

458. I am the one whose body is gonna be pumped full of...

459. toxic drugs.

460. I'm the one who might lose my hair, my taste buds, my energy, me.

461. I know. I know.

462. But the best way to get through this is gonna be as a team.

463. And that means me and you, Lois.

464. Are you okay, pumpkin?

465. I'm fine. Thanks, Dad.

466. Great. 'Cause we need to talk about the blood you found.

467. Everything at that facility was destroyed,

468. but we were able to run the sample you sent over yesterday.

469. - You got a match? - Sure did. And it's not good news.

470. I'll call you back.

471. Whose blood was it?

472. Yours.

473. We've pushed Mr. Miller as far as we can.

474. If we continue, I won't be able to resuscitate him.

475. - Mr. Mannheim wants him alive. - Then what's our next step?

476. Have your team find someone we can push further.

477. - You sure you put it in the console? - For the hundredth time, yes.

478. They must have rummaged through it before we got there.

479. Yeah, but they haven't even taken off the plates yet.

480. Got a visitor.

481. Hey. What's up?

482. I found this in my dad's stuff,

483. and I saw your name engraved on the back.

484. Guess you were right.

485. Well, that's it?

486. What do you want me to say?

487. Okay? He's my dad. I couldn't have just...

488. I'm really sorry I got so mad at you.

489. Candice, where are you going?

490. Come on, Jon. You got suspended because I was dealing X-K.

491. You lost football because of it, and now my dad stole your truck.

492. Okay. That is not your fault. Nobody's perfect.

493. You seem to be.

494. Not even close.

495. There's something I should tell you.

496. I'm not sure that there's anything I can say to make up for what I did.

497. I am...

498. horrified and humiliated by my behavior, Sarah.

499. You know how my mother was,

500. and I never wanna be like her.

501. And I will do better.

502. I love you so much, honey.

503. And I know that it might take you some time to forgive me...

504. but I am just so sorry.

505. Can we please just talk?

506. You look like you could use some company.

507. You do not wanna hear about my day.

508. Well, I almost died in a freezer.

509. Hold up. What?

510. And you wanna know what the worst part was? Lois.

511. Yeah, she was supposed to be at the hospital

512. getting her cancer treatment,

513. but instead, she was trapped in there with me.

514. It's like she won't listen to anyone who's trying to help her.

515. Yeah, I know all about that.

516. Um...

517. My dad. He...

518. He died of liver cancer.

519. - I'm so sorry. I didn't know. - No, no, no, no.

520. The thing I remember the most... was just how stubborn he was.

521. He just didn't wanna admit that he was sick.

522. Not right up until the end.

523. Hey, do you wanna come back to my place?

524. Maybe watch a movie?

525. Yeah, I think I do.

526. - Uh, maybe another time. - Yeah.

527. Hey. You okay?

528. It's okay.

529. - Clark, have you seen the keys? - I'm driving.

530. Maybe on the way back, 'cause I wanna get there on time.

531. Oh, really? Okay. Well, I guess we better get going then, shouldn't we?

532. No one listens to me.

533. This is a reminder that we're here for you.

534. It was my mom's.

535. It's beautiful.

536. Okay. Time to use that watch.

537. Don't wanna be late.

538. - You know, Nat made it herself. - It has, like, 1,000 moving parts.

539. And it's super cool.

540. It uses the same kinetic tech as John Henry's hammer.

541. I still don't understand how that works.

542. Neither do I. But it's awesome.

543. - You were right. - I know she's not my mom.

544. It wasn't about that.

545. I think by telling myself that,

546. I was trying to keep it from hurting so much.

547. Doesn't work that way.

548. When she was in trouble, I realized that she's my friend.

549. I'm just really worried about her.

550. Me too.

551. Thank you.

552. Really means a lot.

553. - Ready? - I'm ready.
