Superman & Lois 4x7

1. Previously on "Superman and Lois"...

2. I was there the night that that thing came,

3. and I saw what happened to your dad.

4. Jordan told me everything about your dad

5. and who he really is.

6. Sell me your farm, you get $10 million.

7. It's a lot of money to turn down.

8. It's nothing compared to what you sacrificed.

9. Aidy thinks I'm Superman,

10. and I'm pretty sure she's not the only one.

11. When I first started out as Superman in Metropolis,

12. being a hero was easy.

13. Excuse me, do you know where Milledge Avenue is?

14. In a big city like that, I could disappear

15. at a moment's notice.

16. And I was just another face in the crowd.

17. In Smallville, I was just Clark Kent.

18. Why would anyone suspect otherwise?

19. But then I died.

20. And some people saw something, something that

21. raised questions about me.

22. Breaking news out of Metropolis this afternoon.

23. A 1974 Model Helbing 562 twin-engine passenger aircraft

24. originating from Milwaukee and en route to Atlanta

25. has blown both engines just after takeoff.

26. Oh, um, you know what?

27. I think I—I left my wallet in the car.

28. I'll be right back.

29. To keep you up to date on any new developments.

30. The 50-year-old aircraft was due

31. to retire next month after failing

32. multiple safety inspections. - Hold on there, Brian.

33. It appears Superman has arrived just in time.

34. - Thanks, Isabel.

35. Once again, Superman arrives to save the day

36. and save countless lives.

37. Found it.

38. Investigators to the scene to determine what caused this.

39. You're back already?

40. I just went to the parking lot.

41. Right, yes. Yeah, um.

42. That is $15.46.

43. You have got to be kidding me.

44. How did I miss step 27?

45. Maybe we can help?

46. Does it look like I need help?

47. - You're doing great, Mom. - No, you don't need help.

48. This is supposed to be a nice gift for Chrissy and Kyle.

49. Oh, everything okay?

50. Of course everything's okay. Is everything okay with you?

51. Yeah, yeah. No, I'm good.

52. Just making some progress on my list.

53. You mean your "convince everyone

54. you're not Superman" list?

55. Look, too many people are getting suspicious.

56. We gotta put the genie back in the bottle

57. before it's too late, so I'm crossing Denise Olowe

58. off my list, which just leaves Aidy Manning and—

59. Coach Gaines.

60. Yeah, he's next.

61. The secret's very important,

62. so we all have to do whatever it takes.

63. Well, good luck with that.

64. We're gonna go see a movie.

65. Any news on Luthor?

66. He just went back to his old apartment in Metropolis.

67. He should be in prison.

68. Has John Henry gotten Otis to talk?

69. Not yet, but he says it's just a matter of time.

70. He better hurry.

71. The last time Luthor went this quiet,

72. he created a monster that literally killed you.

73. - Just imagine it.

74. It has multiple rooms, laundry that doesn't require quarters.

75. Oh, look at that.

76. A backyard for family barbecues.

77. And we can have an actual nursery.

78. Mm-hmm.

79. Our baby deserves a nursery, Kyle.

80. Yeah.

81. This house is just perfect.

82. Well, how much does perfect cost?

83. Oh.

84. Oh, well, that is—

85. Totally out of our budget. I know.

86. I shouldn't have even been looking at it.

87. No, no. Hey.

88. Look, you and I, we— we need a perfect house

89. because we're about to have a perfect baby.

90. So if this is the one, then we'll figure out

91. a way to make it work, okay?

92. Okay.

93. - Hey, Coach.

94. Hey, hey, Kent.

95. You here to accept my job offer?

96. It's a pretty good salary for an assistant coach.

97. But a guy like you is worth it.

98. I'm afraid I have to decline.

99. Is this about the boys not playing?

100. Because I'm working on that.

101. You can stop working on it.

102. And I didn't entirely appreciate the girls comment.

103. It's not really a reason someone should play football.

104. Who said anything about girls?

105. I simply said that football is a super way to build character,

106. which your boys are gonna need if they're gonna follow

107. in their father's footsteps.

108. Well, frankly, the last time Jonathan was on the team,

109. he took drugs, so.

110. I don't think he needed them.

111. I don't think anybody needs drugs.

112. You know what I mean.

113. I—I'm not sure I do. Um.

114. Oh, hey, Coach, you're gonna want to watch—

115. ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

116. - Ow? - Ow!

117. Ow?

118. Ow!

119. - Ow? - Ow!

120. Uh, are you okay, Kent?

121. I don't know, I think I might have sprained something.

122. I'm not a doctor. It just hurts. Ow!

123. Okay, I'm gonna get some ice.

124. Yeah.

125. Ow?

126. We need some ice!

127. Hey, we need some ice!

128. - What, are you worried you're gonna get hurt?

129. This is the "Daily Planet"

130. softball team we're talking about.

131. It's not some underground fight club.

132. Jimmy's right. You should join.

133. You love baseball.

134. Yeah, I—I know.

135. Just, I've never actually played.

136. Neither has most of the team.

137. Okay, ignore my sister.

138. She and your fiancé hang out all the time.

139. But what about us? Come on.

140. Can't we be pals?

141. We already are, aren't we?

142. Friends hang out outside of work.

143. What better way to do that than by taking back our trophy

144. from those pretentious jerks at "The Star"?

145. - Yeah. - Yeah, what do you say?

146. You in?

147. Jimmy, I'm sorry, I'm just—I'm really swamped

148. with this Intergang story right now.

149. See? I told you he'd say no.

150. Always does.

151. Right. Maybe next time, CK.

152. You know we don't have any leads on the Intergang story.

153. I can't join a softball team.

154. My dad never wanted me to play sports for obvious reasons.

155. But especially now with Superman,

156. I can't risk drawing attention to myself.

157. No matter who you are, you're still allowed to have friends.

158. I have friends.

159. Not friends all the way in Smallville.

160. Friends you can actually hang out with.

161. It doesn't matter. If I played, I'd be cheating.

162. Then don't cheat. Be terrible.

163. It's not about winning.

164. Be terrible. Well, not terrible.

165. I could—oh! Oh, I could bunt!

166. I could be the bunt guy!

167. I love bunts! - Great.

168. I don't know what that means.

169. But, yes, you see, you can do it.

170. Yes, I can do this.

171. Thanks, babe.

172. Uh, hey, Jimmy?

173. Had a thought.

174. How low are your expectations?

175. I saw the first one four times.

176. Now I plan on taking a drink every time

177. there's a severed limb.

178. There he is.

179. The star quarterback.

180. Dude, I told Gaines I can't play.

181. Position's yours.

182. Because that's the only way I could get it, right?

183. I could never dream of beating you.

184. Timmy, what's your problem?

185. My problem is that I worked my ass off for football

186. while the Wonder Twins here have superpowers.

187. Wait, you think we have powers?

188. Do you hear how crazy that sounds?

189. Always wondered how you were so good as a freshman.

190. I had to take X-K just to keep up.

191. But that's because you were super-powered this whole time.

192. - That's not what happened. - Stop lying.

193. I know it's true!

194. - I'm not lying. - Yes, you are.

195. Why don't you show them who you are?

196. Get out of my face.

197. You ruined my life, Kent. - Get out of my face.

198. I'm not gonna get out of your face.

199. Why don't you show them who you are!

200. Get out of my face!

201. Whatever's going on here is done, okay?

202. You've ruined my life, Kent.

203. I think you should leave.

204. Fine.

205. Superboy wins again.

206. Okay, open. Surprise!

207. It's so...

208. big.

209. Okay, you might wanna have Kyle do a safety check.

210. It's lovely.

211. Thank you.

212. It's just...

213. We actually need to talk.

214. Maybe you should sit down.

215. Okay.

216. So me and Kyle, we've been looking and looking,

217. and we finally found a house.

218. Lois, it's the house. - That's amazing.

219. Except it's not even remotely in our price range.

220. And I've been over and over it,

221. and the only way we'll ever be able to afford it is...

222. if I sell my share of the "Gazette."

223. Chrissy.

224. I'm really sorry.

225. Well, you don't get to make a decision like that without me.

226. I thought we were building something here.

227. We are.

228. We were.

229. We're supposed to be a team.

230. And I love our team. I really do.

231. But I'm about to have a new team.

232. And the way this baby stomps on my bladder every minute,

233. they're gonna need a yard to run around in.

234. No, I get that. Of course I do.

235. I just—if you sell,

236. that could mean the end of the "Gazette."

237. And that's the last thing I'd ever want.

238. Working with you has been a dream.

239. I have to do this for my family.

240. Do you hate me?

241. No, of course not. I'm happy for you.

242. I'm just sad to lose this.

243. I'm really sorry.

244. But this baby's kicking around in there again,

245. and I have to pee, like, right now.

246. Hey, I got your message.

247. Everything okay?

248. Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

249. You're selling your grill?

250. Look, Kent, I got one kid getting ready to study abroad,

251. I got another one growing up way too fast,

252. and now a baby on the way.

253. There's no way around it.

254. I'm—I'm flat broke.

255. But that particular tragedy is not what

256. I wanted to talk to you about.

257. Well, what's going on?

258. It's about Timmy Ryan.

259. I saw him earlier today with the boys.

260. He was accusing Jon of cheating at football

261. and then talking about how he didn't think

262. it was fair that he should have to compete

263. for a spot against Superboy.

264. Okay, so now Timmy Ryan knows.

265. Is there anyone in this town I don't have to worry about?

266. I mean, I know it can't be easy

267. always having to keep yourself a secret from all your friends.

268. That's right, baby!

269. Come on, Smallville!

270. You got this. Come on, CK.

271. Bring me home, baby!

272. Whoo!

273. Yeah, baby!

274. CK bringing me home in the bottom of the ninth

275. with an epic bunt?

276. What got into you?

277. First rule of Meteors legend Ray Coyle's book.

278. If you can't bunt, you can't win.

279. You're a madman, and I absolutely love it.

280. Hey, Lane.

281. Hey, how's it feel to be dating the big hero?

282. Same as always.

283. You're a lucky lady. Don't you ever forget it.

284. Yeah, I think we know who the lucky one is.

285. Hey, you and me, man, this is the start of something great.

286. You hear me?

287. Next thing I know, you're gonna be trying out

288. for the big leagues.

289. Is that too much? Should I have struck out?

290. No, it was great.

291. And that smile looks good on you too.

292. Well, I've never been part of the team before.

293. I didn't know it felt this good.

294. I hate having to lie like that.

295. You didn't, though. Not really.

296. And besides, Malcolm and Wellnitz

297. just thought he was crazy anyway.

298. Yeah, but he's not.

299. And we just let them make fun of him for us.

300. With him coming at us like that,

301. we didn't really have a choice.

302. Besides, Timmy was wrong anyway.

303. You didn't even have powers back then.

304. Yeah, but I can't say that and defend myself.

305. I had to lie about it.

306. Having powers isn't always awesome.

307. Welcome to the club.

308. - Chrissy wants out? - Yep.

309. She already called that awful conglomerate

310. that tried to buy us out a while back.

311. But reporting is her superpower.

312. And you two make a great team.

313. I know.

314. Boys, dinner!

315. Well, they must be desperate.

316. Kyle is selling his grill.

317. What?

318. Grilling is his superpower.

319. There's gotta be another way for them to get their house.

320. Hey.

321. So I hear Timmy Ryan knows you two have powers?

322. He doesn't know.

323. Not for sure, anyway.

324. But he was pretty mad.

325. Okay, so I'm gonna have to add him to the list.

326. Look, just tell me now.

327. Is there anyone else who might know?

328. Candice knows.

329. You told your girlfriend?

330. He didn't. I did.

331. What? When?

332. When she was visiting.

333. She's known since the 4th?

334. Well, I had to keep sneaking off to help Mom,

335. and she knew I was lying.

336. - So this is my fault? - No!

337. And I wasn't gonna tell her, but she was really hurt,

338. and she was about to break up with me.

339. - Then you let her. - Dad, come on.

340. Don't even start with me. You should know better.

341. Yeah, I do.

342. 'Cause I lost Sarah for the same reason,

343. and I didn't want Jon to have to go through that.

344. This isn't about what you want.

345. That wasn't your decision to make.

346. We can trust Candice.

347. You can't possibly know that. She's 16.

348. She doesn't even live in Smallville.

349. Like everyone in this town isn't already

350. telling everyone else about it.

351. I'm fixing that.

352. Sure, you are.

353. What don't you two get?

354. The secret is everything.

355. It's the only thing that gives us a chance at a normal life.

356. This life is hardly normal.

357. But it's the only one we have.

358. So both of you will do everything you can

359. to protect it from Candice or Timmy or anyone.

360. Is that clear?

361. Fine.

362. Boys, we need to talk about your father.

363. You mean about how he went off at us for no reason?

364. It wasn't without reason.

365. Candice deserved to know the truth.

366. Give me that.

367. - Hey! - I was just about to win!

368. This isn't about Candice.

369. Your father has been keeping this a secret his whole life.

370. We know.

371. He only holds it over our heads, like, all the time.

372. But I still don't think you understand

373. what it actually means.

374. Do you know how old your dad was when he got powers?

375. He was four.

376. And his parents, they meant well,

377. but they were so hard on him whenever he used them.

378. We know what that's like.

379. He was just a little kid, Jordan.

380. And his parents were terrified that if anyone

381. found out what he was capable of,

382. he'd be taken away from them.

383. So he grew up with that constant fear.

384. That's not going to happen now.

385. I know, but keeping this secret

386. is truly all he's ever known.

387. Until he told you.

388. Mr. Irons, Miss Lang, Chrissy.

389. But there are so many other people he didn't tell.

390. And these are people who were really important to him.

391. He was on an island, isolated for so long.

392. Okay, but that was his decision.

393. Yeah, and he made it with good reason.

394. Listen, all I'm asking of you guys

395. is to cut your dad some slack.

396. He might act like keeping this secret

397. didn't cost him anything, but I promise you,

398. it is not true.

399. Hey. How many innings did I miss?

400. How many innings are there in softball?

401. - Nine. - Then eight.

402. Which means there's still one left.

403. I got here as quick as I could.

404. There was a freighter sinking off the coast of Greece.

405. Well, well, well.

406. There's the face I wanted to see about two hours ago.

407. Jimmy, I'm sorry. I—

408. I get it. Traffic's crazy these days.

409. Come on, get out there.

410. Game's tied. We need the Bunt King.

411. - See? Jimmy's not even mad. - Yeah, this time.

412. Well, maybe there won't be a next time.

413. There's always gonna be a next time.

414. I told you, joining this team was a bad idea.

415. No, it wasn't.

416. And you can't let tomorrow ruin today.

417. Now, get out there.

418. You bunt all over that field.

419. Okay.

420. You're selling your grill?

421. We need the money, babe.

422. I get it.

423. I tried to sell my stake in the "Gazette."

424. What?

425. No, Chrissy, the "Gazette" is not a grill.

426. That's—that's your life.

427. I know.

428. But it would have been more than enough

429. for the down payment.

430. And don't worry.

431. I could find another job after the baby is here.

432. Yeah, but that is a big life decision.

433. Doesn't even matter anyway 'cause the only lead I had

434. turned out to be a shell corporation for Luthor.

435. By the time I put out more feelers...

436. House will be off the market.

437. Well, look, I'll sell everything then—

438. my grill, my truck.

439. And believe it or not, that singing trout on the wall,

440. that's a collector's item.

441. Oh, Kyle, no.

442. No, it doesn't matter what we sell.

443. We're not gonna have the money in time.

444. That house is just—

445. it just wasn't meant to be.

446. You know, raising a baby in a tiny studio apartment

447. with no in-unit washer/dryer

448. isn't the worst thing of all time.

449. Dad?

450. We wanted to say we're sorry about Candice.

451. And that we probably should have

452. handled things differently.

453. I appreciate that.

454. Look, I hope you guys know I'm not trying

455. to make your lives miserable.

456. I'm trying to make them better.

457. We get that.

458. And we wanna help.

459. Well, good.

460. Because there's something the three of us need to do.

461. Timmy, your friends are here!

462. I am so glad you stopped by, Clark.

463. It's been too long. - It has.

464. I wish it was under better circumstances.

465. I think our boys had a little disagreement,

466. so I just wanted to come over and clear the air.

467. A disagreement? About what?

468. About them hiding their powers

469. because Mr. Kent is Superman.

470. That's very flattering, but I—that's simply not true.

471. Honey, I went to school with Clark.

472. He was just a normal kid.

473. Just like how Jon and Jordan are pretending to be.

474. Just because Jon's better than you at football

475. doesn't mean that he has powers.

476. Don't lie to me. I was there on Main Street.

477. I saw you fly.

478. Timothy, are you using drugs again?

479. What? No.

480. Look, I'm sure it's just an honest misunderstanding.

481. No, it wasn't.

482. Enough.

483. - Whatever. - Timmy!

484. I am so sorry about that.

485. Well, there's no need to apologize.

486. Let me go talk to him.

487. And please, send Lois my best?

488. Yeah.

489. Guess this means you can cross Timmy off your list.

490. Jimmy?

491. Hey, wait up.

492. We missed you at the game, CK.

493. It was a close one. - Yeah, I know.

494. The craziest thing happened.

495. You're—you're not gonna believe it.

496. Yeah, I don't think I will.

497. Sorry?

498. The craziest thing doesn't happen three games in a row.

499. I was starting to think it was me.

500. Maybe you just didn't wanna hang out.

501. No, see, my neighbor's cat got out again, Miss May, and—

502. Then it hit me. There's a pattern here.

503. It sounds crazy at first, but it explains a lot.

504. Oh, it's just a streak of bad luck, really.

505. Actually, I'd say everyone involved

506. turned out to be pretty damn lucky.

507. Crashing helicopter.

508. A blown out train track.

509. A falling elevator at the Eiffel Tower.

510. Every game you miss, Superman was making a save.

511. I'm not sure I follow.

512. You and I, we're friends, right?

513. Yeah, of course.

514. It's you.

515. You're Superman.

516. Uh, Jimmy, I honestly don't even know what to say to that.

517. Just the truth. Nothing else.

518. Clark Kent, are you Superman?

519. No, I am not Superman.

520. Hmm. I still don't believe you.

521. No offense, but—

522. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

523. The championship game is on Friday.

524. So, hopefully, nothing crazy happens.

525. How did it go?

526. They didn't believe you?

527. They did.

528. Timmy's mom, anyway.

529. It really sucked.

530. - Are they okay? - Yeah.

531. It'll take time, but they'll get used to it.

532. I hope you're right.

533. Are we in the market?

534. No, but I couldn't stop thinking

535. about Chrissy and Kyle,

536. and I have an idea to run by you.

537. Well, this is a nice surprise.

538. The four of us haven't gotten dinner in a long time.

539. Yeah, what's the occasion?

540. We thought there might be a reason to celebrate.

541. Yeah, Lois showed me your new house.

542. You two must be so excited.

543. Uh, well, we actually just decided to stay put for now.

544. Down payment was a lot and, uh,

545. I didn't have any takers on my grill.

546. Yeah, nobody wants to invest in media right now, so.

547. Actually, we have buyers for you.

548. Wait, what? Who?

549. Us.

550. We wanna buy you out of the "Gazette."

551. Come again?

552. My dad never took a vacation

553. and wore the same six Hawaiian shirts for 30 years,

554. so he left us some money, and we wanna invest it.

555. In your new family.

556. So your baby has a nice home to grow up in.

557. Oh.

558. Well, look, y'all heard Chrissy.

559. We—we can't let y'all throw away your money like that.

560. Well, you wouldn't be.

561. When I first bought into the "Gazette,"

562. it was because I wanted to work with you.

563. And I also believed that we could make it

564. something really special, and I still believe that.

565. Lois.

566. I'm not ready to give up on us.

567. And we don't want anything to change.

568. You'd both still be co-editors,

569. and if you ever wanted to buy back your half,

570. that door is always open.

571. Please let us do this for you?

572. - Yeah. - Oh, my God!

573. Oh, my God! Thank you guys so much!

574. I just love you guys.

575. Oh, see, this does call for celebration.

576. And dinner's on me.

577. I'm not taking no for an answer.

578. Leftovers.

579. I'm not hungry.

580. Dude, I'm bummed about Timmy, too, but you gotta eat.

581. Is it always gonna feel like this?

582. I hope not. Probably.

583. I'm starting to get why Dad doesn't have any friends.

584. Dude, Dad has friends.

585. Mr. Irons, Mr. Cushing.

586. When was the last time he actually hung out

587. with one of them or did anything fun?

588. Having to lie like that to everyone all the time,

589. he missed out on so much.

590. It's sad.

591. I don't wanna end up like that.

592. At least we always have each other.

593. No offense, but do you really want

594. to be one of those weirdo twins who only

595. hangs out with each other?

596. I don't know.

597. Didn't think so.

598. I'd like to make a toast.

599. Kent, when we were growing up, you—

600. well, you pretty much kept to yourself.

601. We all know why now.

602. But, listen, I wasn't always the nicest to you.

603. Oh, well, that's—

604. that's true, actually, yeah.

605. And when y'all first moved to Smallville,

606. you and I didn't really see eye to eye.

607. That is putting it lightly.

608. Oh, wait a second.

609. Did I get knocked up by the town bully?

610. All right, I make no excuses.

611. But, look, I think that's what makes this—

612. this all so much more special.

613. Despite all that, my acting a fool, the two of you,

614. you've been there for us every step of the way.

615. To the two kindest, most loyal people I know

616. who I couldn't be prouder to call our friends.

617. To the best of friends.

618. Friendship.

619. To—

620. Emmitt Pergande.

621. Candice's dad? What about him?

622. He just walked in.

623. And he doesn't look right.

624. There he is.

625. Clark Kent, my old buddy.

626. What's he doing here?

627. A little birdie told me something about you.

628. And I couldn't wait to come by and chat about it.

629. He knows who I am.

630. So, Kent, you wanna know

631. what that little birdie told me?

632. Mr. Pergande, I'd be happy to talk

633. if we could just step outside.

634. You always wanna step outside, don't you?

635. Where no one can see.

636. Not this time.

637. We're gonna do this right here in front of everyone.

638. Now, after you slammed me against that counter,

639. I wondered, how could some mild-mannered nothing

640. make a fool out of me in front of everyone?

641. But that was all a lie

642. 'cause you're not really nothing, are you...

643. Superman?

644. Look, I don't know what you've been told,

645. but I've known Clark here my whole life,

646. and he is not Superman.

647. I guess it's not enough to lie to the whole world.

648. Now you got your friends lying for you too.

649. That's enough.

650. I think everyone in here would like to eat in peace

651. without your lunatic ramblings.

652. Really?

653. 'Cause I think they'd like to know the truth.

654. Which they sure ain't gonna get from you,

655. Lois Lane, covering for your husband's alien ass

656. for the past 20 years.

657. Do not speak to my wife like that.

658. Then admit it.

659. You're no hero.

660. You chased me out of town.

661. I've been living out of my damn car.

662. Does that make you happy?

663. Making regular people like me feel small?

664. All right, buddy, that's enough.

665. I think you need—

666. Don't you come any closer.

667. Kyle, get back here.

668. Now, I'm not leaving until everyone here knows the truth.

669. Even if I have to prove it myself.

670. There's nothing to worry about, though, is there, Superman?

671. Being bulletproof and all.

672. Put the gun down.

673. You made me look like an idiot.

674. You don't wanna do this.

675. Quit lying!

676. Emmitt, please.

677. He was right.

678. It is you.

679. Buddy, I got it from here.

680. Taking you to Deputy Johnson's.

681. I'm sorry I lied to you all for so long.

682. So who told Mr. Pergande?

683. It wasn't Candice.

684. She promised me she hasn't seen her dad in months.

685. I believe you.

686. I just got a text from Chrissy.

687. Guess who Emmitt served time with at Stryker's.

688. Luthor.

689. Which is why he's been so quiet.

690. He's been setting this up.

691. To use the secret against us.

692. He must have known that Candice's dad

693. would come back for revenge as soon as he heard the truth.

694. Hey, Emmitt was the first.

695. He definitely won't be the last.

696. Luthor will keep sending people, unless—

697. unless we don't keep it a secret.

698. Clark, that is not our only option.

699. I know.

700. And I've been hiding this my entire life.

701. But when Emmitt fired that bullet...

702. I started to think maybe this—

703. maybe this is doing more harm than good.

704. You realize this would change everything?

705. Which is why it needs to be a family decision.

706. This would put all of us in the spotlight,

707. take away your chance at ever having normal lives.

708. And there'd be no going back.

709. We're with you, Dad.

710. Yeah, totally.

711. I'm always with you.

712. I'm sorry, boys.

713. I just wanted to give you the kind of life that I had.

714. You did, for a really long time.

715. And whatever comes next,

716. we'll get through this like we always do.

717. As a family.

718. You are sure about this?

719. Yeah.

720. Yeah, it's time.

721. Then I know just who to call.

722. You having second thoughts?

723. No, just, uh, hate being on camera.

724. I'm really proud of you for doing this.

725. I mean it.

726. You've fought aliens and stopped worlds from merging.

727. But this may be the hardest thing you've ever done.

728. Oh.

729. Um, hey.

730. Hi, I'm Clark. - Yeah.

731. Hi. How you doing? Hi.

732. Thanks again for the fuzzy flannel.

733. How you doing? Hi.

734. Yeah.

735. How you feeling?

736. Uh, ready.

737. Good, because I'm pretty sure the whole world

738. will be watching.

739. All right, everybody, quiet on set!

740. We are live in five, four,

741. three, two...

742. - Good evening.

743. Ever since his first heroic save nearly 20 years ago,

744. the entire world has been asking the question,

745. who is Superman?

746. And today, we finally have our answer.

747. I'm Janet Olsen, coming to you live

748. from Smallville, Kansas, where I'm sitting in Superman's home.

749. He has been living among us all along

750. and is now ready to reveal himself.

751. Would you introduce yourself?

752. My name is Clark Kent.

753. And, yes, I am Superman.

754. Full disclosure, I've known you as Clark for years.

755. We worked together at the "Daily Planet."

756. The greatest secret of all time was right in front of me,

757. and I never had a clue.

758. How is that possible?

759. Um, it took a lot of work to keep that secret.

760. And you'd be surprised what a pair of glasses will do.

761. Why come forward now?

762. When I was starting out as Superman in Metropolis,

763. being a hero was easy.

764. And in Smallville, I was just Clark Kent.

765. And why would anyone suspect otherwise?

766. I kept my abilities hidden.

767. Never used them for my own gain.

768. And for a lot of years, that worked.

769. Uh, but then I—

770. I died.

771. And some people thought they saw something.

772. I tried to change their minds, but...

773. I made good people doubt themselves, and that—

774. that felt wrong.

775. And finally, I saw the strain that my double life

776. was putting on my family, and...

777. I decided it was time to let go.

778. But despite all of that, keeping the secret, it's—

779. it's all I've ever known.

780. Putting yourself out there to the world,

781. how does that make you feel?

782. Nervous, but also excited.

783. Every day of my life, I've had to hide a huge part

784. of who I really am.

785. And now I won't have to do that.

786. What do you most want people to know about you?

787. That I'm just a regular guy.

788. But you're anything but regular.

789. Okay. Fair, fair.

790. But, you know, beyond the powers,

791. you know, I'm a husband, um,

792. I'm a father to two amazing sons.

793. When they were little, being Superman, I missed a lot.

794. And I made a lot of mistakes and struggled to—

795. to balance it all.

796. You know, but really, I'm just like anyone else out there

797. who loves their family and,

798. you know, wants to be better for them.

799. I think we can all relate.

800. Let's back up.

801. Who were your parents?

802. And we are clear! Great work, everybody.

803. Was it okay?

804. I didn't really know what to do with my hands.

805. Trust me, you were great.

806. Better than great. You crushed it.

807. I should take this.

808. Was there anything I missed?

809. Uh, actually, yeah.

810. There is one thing.

811. After many long years, team "Daily Planet"

812. finally sent the "Daily Star" packing!

813. Yeah, all right!

814. And the Metro Cup is back home where it belongs!

815. Hey, Jimmy?

816. Congrats.

817. Sorry, I don't really know what to say.

818. It's fine.

819. I guess something crazy happened again.

820. At least Supes got the day off.

821. No saves, as far as I can tell.

822. I get it now. I was wrong.

823. You just didn't wanna play.

824. No, no, no, no, I really did. Honestly, I just—

825. It's fine.

826. Hey, we won.

827. You—you and me, no one said we have to be buds.

828. All right, team, let's go!

829. Last one to Bibbowski's picks up the tab!

830. You missed the game on purpose, huh?

831. It's the only way to keep the secret.

832. You okay?

833. Yeah.

834. I'm used to it.

835. Are you sure?

836. Yeah, I'm good here.

837. You go ahead.

838. Our phone's been blowing up since your interview.

839. But we can handle it.

840. And we're gonna head to Timmy's in a bit to apologize.

841. Okay, I—

842. I guess I'm off then.

843. It's gonna be great.

844. And you look good without the glasses.

845. Come on, get out of here.

846. Morning, Mr. Kent.

847. Hey, Denise.

848. Back here, CK.

849. Hey, Jimmy. Thanks for coming.

850. My sister didn't exactly give me a choice.

851. You know how she is. - Yeah.

852. Um...

853. Look, I just wanna say I'm— I'm really sorry.

854. It's fine. I get it.

855. I missed you too, pal.

856. We have so much to catch up on.

857. But first, being the Bunt King?

858. That was genius. - Oh, you think so?

859. For sure.

860. The way you bunted with the tip of the bat.

861. Yeah, I thought it might have been too much.

862. But that's the...

863. Greg, move your head.
