1
00:00:01,711 --> 00:00:03,271
[Clark] <i>Previously on</i>
Superman & Lois...

2
00:00:03,296 --> 00:00:05,715
[Lois] <i>Let's just focus on
what we came here for. Family.</i>

3
00:00:05,798 --> 00:00:08,843
You and Jordan basically are weapons.

4
00:00:08,927 --> 00:00:12,138
I am the only one in this house
that's completely unarmed.

5
00:00:12,222 --> 00:00:16,559
You don't go snooping around some
guy-from-another-world's murder van.

6
00:00:16,643 --> 00:00:20,522
We are the extraordinary humans
in a family of superpeople

7
00:00:20,605 --> 00:00:23,358
Have you seen my dad?
I can't do the performance without him.

8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:24,358
I can do it.

9
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:27,445
I can't keep getting my hopes up,
and then just get disappointed.

10
00:00:27,529 --> 00:00:29,072
Were you able to find enough subjekts?

11
00:00:29,155 --> 00:00:31,908
Yes, but there's no guarantee
they'll be receptive hosts.

12
00:00:31,991 --> 00:00:33,385
[Superman] <i>That was some nasty stuff.</i>

13
00:00:33,409 --> 00:00:36,287
[General Lane] The gas was
an experimental synthetic Kryptonite

14
00:00:36,371 --> 00:00:40,208
designed to invade your respiratory
system, weaken you from the inside.

15
00:00:59,060 --> 00:01:00,603
[Lois] Why is Edge here?

16
00:01:01,396 --> 00:01:03,398
I mean, why Smallville?

17
00:01:05,149 --> 00:01:06,776
Definitely not for the biryani.

18
00:01:07,694 --> 00:01:10,488
He was in and out of Hazel Green
and Granville in weeks.

19
00:01:10,572 --> 00:01:14,075
He shut down operations in New Carthage
in a few months, and now he's here.

20
00:01:14,284 --> 00:01:16,661
It's gotta be for the same reason
as the other towns, right?

21
00:01:17,370 --> 00:01:18,580
Mine for X-Kryptonite.

22
00:01:18,663 --> 00:01:20,873
Use that machine I saw
that gives people powers.

23
00:01:21,249 --> 00:01:23,960
Yeah, I know that's part of it,
but Smallville's the only town

24
00:01:24,043 --> 00:01:25,587
where he's sticking around.

25
00:01:25,837 --> 00:01:28,590
So there has to be a reason
why Smallville is different.

26
00:01:28,965 --> 00:01:30,508
He needs this place.

27
00:01:30,842 --> 00:01:33,011
This is your specialty.

28
00:01:34,220 --> 00:01:35,805
How do you suggest we figure out why?

29
00:01:37,181 --> 00:01:38,308
We dig deeper.

30
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,519
<i>We need to use every resource
at our disposal.</i>

31
00:01:41,603 --> 00:01:44,063
So, as we know, he was only in...

32
00:01:44,147 --> 00:01:45,732
<i>Clark's a great reporter.</i>

33
00:01:46,190 --> 00:01:48,026
<i>Now that he's not coaching, he can help.</i>

34
00:01:49,736 --> 00:01:52,322
<i>We get all the information
we can from Lana.</i>

35
00:01:53,656 --> 00:01:56,492
<i>Files on everyone Edge has recruited.</i>

36
00:01:58,119 --> 00:02:00,830
<i>Who they are, where they come from.</i>

37
00:02:00,913 --> 00:02:01,913
Thank you.

38
00:02:02,165 --> 00:02:04,876
[Lois] <i>Pore over every single detail.</i>

39
00:02:06,668 --> 00:02:07,586
There's Emily.

40
00:02:07,587 --> 00:02:09,187
<i>And then we start back at the beginning.</i>

41
00:02:10,214 --> 00:02:12,634
All right, so we know Emily
is the newest recruit...

42
00:02:12,717 --> 00:02:16,429
[Lois] <i>Connect every dot,
piece it all together.</i>

43
00:02:17,764 --> 00:02:22,518
<i>And if we've done ourjob right,
the answer will present itself.</i>

44
00:02:23,645 --> 00:02:25,245
[Edge] <i>My goal has always been the same.</i>

45
00:02:25,647 --> 00:02:27,106
I want to change this world.

46
00:02:28,441 --> 00:02:31,611
And I finally found the place
where I can start doing so,

47
00:02:31,694 --> 00:02:34,739
here, in Smallville,
with people like you.

48
00:02:35,698 --> 00:02:36,699
Me?

49
00:02:37,867 --> 00:02:38,868
Why?

50
00:02:38,951 --> 00:02:41,913
I know your life hasn't been easy
the past few years.

51
00:02:42,747 --> 00:02:44,165
I know the pain you're in.

52
00:02:47,293 --> 00:02:48,293
<i>The fear,</i>

53
00:02:49,295 --> 00:02:51,798
<i>knowing you can't provide
for your family, that...</i>

54
00:02:51,881 --> 00:02:53,508
<i>burden, that stress.</i>

55
00:02:56,052 --> 00:02:58,388
<i>With my assistance, all those fears
can go away.</i>

56
00:02:58,638 --> 00:03:02,100
I can improve your life
in every way imaginable.

57
00:03:02,809 --> 00:03:04,894
<i>I can improve you, Emily.</i>

58
00:03:05,853 --> 00:03:06,854
Will this hurt?

59
00:03:07,814 --> 00:03:09,565
[screaming]

60
00:03:11,567 --> 00:03:12,694
Not a bit.

61
00:03:17,031 --> 00:03:21,077
[Edge] <i>If you'd like me to,
I can activate a new life.</i>

62
00:03:21,828 --> 00:03:23,496
A new life?

63
00:03:24,038 --> 00:03:26,638
The process you'd go through
will make you feel like a new person.

64
00:03:27,583 --> 00:03:30,002
<i>- Clear-minded. Stronger.</i>
- [screaming]

65
00:03:31,629 --> 00:03:33,631
<i>Capable of things
you never dreamt possible.</i>

66
00:03:35,133 --> 00:03:38,344
But I can only do that
if you're willing.

67
00:03:38,845 --> 00:03:41,723
<i>If you acknowledge that
the life you have now...</i>

68
00:03:43,015 --> 00:03:44,308
<i>is not what you want anymore.</i>

69
00:03:44,392 --> 00:03:46,060
Complete host acceptance.

70
00:03:50,022 --> 00:03:51,107
The process isn't complete.

71
00:03:51,899 --> 00:03:54,068
I'll take a few days before
you're fully in control.

72
00:03:54,736 --> 00:03:56,237
But once that happens...

73
00:03:59,741 --> 00:04:02,660
life will be yours again.

74
00:04:03,703 --> 00:04:07,749
Do you want to become
your best self, Emily?

75
00:04:09,292 --> 00:04:10,293
I do.

76
00:04:19,427 --> 00:04:22,638
[Lois] Lana said Edge asked her
to find more candidates.

77
00:04:22,722 --> 00:04:24,599
So until we can figure out
how to stop him,

78
00:04:24,682 --> 00:04:26,726
we need to convince people to stay away.

79
00:04:27,727 --> 00:04:29,979
Lois, he's offering people jobs
and money.

80
00:04:30,271 --> 00:04:32,565
Things they need to feel
in control of their lives again.

81
00:04:32,899 --> 00:04:34,317
Boys, bus will be here in a minute.

82
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,111
Clark, we have to do something.
And nobody's going to listen to me.

83
00:04:37,195 --> 00:04:40,072
They haven't since that first town hall,
but they will to you.

84
00:04:40,198 --> 00:04:42,283
- Hey. Which one's mine?
- Here.

85
00:04:42,366 --> 00:04:43,366
Thanks.

86
00:04:43,743 --> 00:04:45,387
All right, guys, we're probably
gonna have another late night

87
00:04:45,411 --> 00:04:46,579
working on this Edge case.

88
00:04:46,662 --> 00:04:47,620
All right.

89
00:04:47,622 --> 00:04:49,916
We were gonna see Sarah's revue
tonight anyway, so...

90
00:04:52,210 --> 00:04:53,937
You guys sure are spending quite a bit
of time together

91
00:04:53,961 --> 00:04:55,630
for just being "friends."

92
00:04:56,214 --> 00:04:57,673
Just trying to support her, Dad.

93
00:04:58,341 --> 00:04:59,759
- Uh-huh.
- Right.

94
00:05:01,844 --> 00:05:03,971
What? She said she just
wanted to be friends.

95
00:05:04,055 --> 00:05:07,058
Might be more than that, but I will
leave it up to her to tell you.

96
00:05:08,851 --> 00:05:10,394
[rumbling, whirring]

97
00:05:10,645 --> 00:05:11,645
Bus is pulling up.

98
00:05:11,687 --> 00:05:13,607
All right, there's leftovers
in the fridge. Okay?

99
00:05:13,773 --> 00:05:15,066
All right. Love you guys. Bye.

100
00:05:15,149 --> 00:05:17,735
- I gotta go meet Lana at the <i>Gazette.</i>
- Okay.

101
00:05:18,194 --> 00:05:20,530
Clark, you are Martha Kent's son.

102
00:05:20,863 --> 00:05:23,366
She was helping people here
way before Edge showed up.

103
00:05:23,616 --> 00:05:24,659
They will listen to you.

104
00:05:25,451 --> 00:05:29,038
- Okay. Bye.
- Bye.

105
00:05:31,332 --> 00:05:33,501
And none of these people
are acting differently at all?

106
00:05:34,961 --> 00:05:38,840
I mean, the only change I see
is how happy they are.

107
00:05:38,923 --> 00:05:41,467
Like, they're truly excited to be there.

108
00:05:41,926 --> 00:05:44,804
To be a part of something,
to change their lives.

109
00:05:44,887 --> 00:05:46,514
What is he doing with them?

110
00:05:46,806 --> 00:05:50,685
Personal development, self-improvement,
trust exercises.

111
00:05:51,185 --> 00:05:53,271
I really don't know the specifics.

112
00:05:53,354 --> 00:05:57,775
Well, sounds like a cult, only Edge is
power-brainwashing free of charge.

113
00:05:58,109 --> 00:06:00,027
[Lana] The only other thing
I can tell you

114
00:06:00,194 --> 00:06:01,988
is they started
these morning "togethers"

115
00:06:02,154 --> 00:06:04,699
- at Victoria May's.
- "Togethers?"

116
00:06:04,782 --> 00:06:07,493
Mmm-hmm.
Camaraderie-building breakfasts.

117
00:06:09,579 --> 00:06:10,830
Oh, I'm gonna be late.

118
00:06:10,913 --> 00:06:11,913
[Lois] Wait.

119
00:06:11,914 --> 00:06:13,500
Lana, maybe you should take a break.

120
00:06:13,749 --> 00:06:15,602
This is kind of starting
to get really dangerous,

121
00:06:15,626 --> 00:06:17,306
and I don't want anything
to happen to you.

122
00:06:17,336 --> 00:06:19,380
It's okay, Lois. Really.

123
00:06:19,881 --> 00:06:24,218
I mean, if I can keep Edge from hurting
just one person, it's worth it.

124
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,392
Think I should head over to the diner.
Go full intervention on this breakfast.

125
00:06:31,475 --> 00:06:34,812
No, you stay focused on getting
what you can on Edge's minions.

126
00:06:34,896 --> 00:06:38,190
I know someone who might have
a better shot at getting through.

127
00:06:42,403 --> 00:06:44,684
- [students chattering indistinctly]
- [school bell rings]

128
00:06:47,533 --> 00:06:50,411
Okay. Hey, boys!

129
00:06:51,203 --> 00:06:52,413
Hey, come on over.

130
00:06:53,831 --> 00:06:55,541
- Hey, Mr. Cushing.
- Hey.

131
00:06:55,625 --> 00:06:59,045
Jordan, listen, I...
I just want to say thank you

132
00:06:59,128 --> 00:07:01,690
for stepping up and helping Sarah
with her audition the other day.

133
00:07:01,714 --> 00:07:04,133
That... that really saved the day, man.

134
00:07:04,717 --> 00:07:06,135
Yeah. Uh, thanks.

135
00:07:06,552 --> 00:07:09,180
- Okay. You don't want to be late.
- Yeah.

136
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:11,891
Hey, we'll see you later, okay?

137
00:07:12,850 --> 00:07:13,851
Yeah.

138
00:07:14,393 --> 00:07:16,187
Can't wait to see you up there tonight.

139
00:07:17,021 --> 00:07:19,607
Don't ask. He's having some
kind of personality crisis.

140
00:07:20,316 --> 00:07:21,316
Really?

141
00:07:21,317 --> 00:07:23,319
Yeah, he keeps telling me
how he's changed for good

142
00:07:23,486 --> 00:07:24,820
and how he feels better.

143
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:26,381
Things improve for a little bit.

144
00:07:26,405 --> 00:07:29,033
It's the same crap as always,
and then he crashes

145
00:07:29,659 --> 00:07:31,494
- like your brother's about to.
- What?

146
00:07:31,786 --> 00:07:33,579
I told you, stay away
from Tegan Wickhem.

147
00:07:34,538 --> 00:07:35,748
Just trust me, okay?

148
00:07:44,423 --> 00:07:45,549
[door bell dings]

149
00:07:55,017 --> 00:07:56,017
Clark?

150
00:07:56,894 --> 00:07:59,480
- Emily, hey!
- I heard you were back in town.

151
00:07:59,563 --> 00:08:01,482
Yeah. Yeah.
I'm sorry I haven't seen you.

152
00:08:01,565 --> 00:08:03,359
It's been crazy since we moved here.

153
00:08:03,526 --> 00:08:06,779
I bet. Well, me too, actually.
But for the better.

154
00:08:06,862 --> 00:08:09,657
Oh, yeah? I heard you were working
at Edge EnerCorp.

155
00:08:10,282 --> 00:08:12,785
It has changed my life.

156
00:08:15,204 --> 00:08:16,205
I feel great.

157
00:08:16,664 --> 00:08:18,749
I can think better, focus.

158
00:08:18,833 --> 00:08:22,378
You know, problems that seemed
impossible before are like nothing now.

159
00:08:22,712 --> 00:08:25,881
Really? Wow. You know what? Actually,
I would love to talk to you about that.

160
00:08:25,965 --> 00:08:27,341
You're looking for work?

161
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:30,970
- Uh, well...
- It's okay. Just talk to Lana.

162
00:08:31,053 --> 00:08:33,514
She hooked me up,
got me into the program.

163
00:08:33,597 --> 00:08:36,475
I'm sure she'd be happy
to help her old boyfriend.

164
00:08:37,309 --> 00:08:39,145
- Yeah, I'll...
- I gotta go.

165
00:08:39,603 --> 00:08:40,896
Let me know if I can be of help.

166
00:08:41,147 --> 00:08:42,857
It was so good to see you, Clark.

167
00:08:42,940 --> 00:08:44,108
- Yeah, you too.
- Take care.

168
00:08:46,777 --> 00:08:48,195
[rumbling]

169
00:08:48,529 --> 00:08:49,947
[man shouting in Spanish]

[robber speaking Spanish]

[hostages gasp]

182
00:10:56,991 --> 00:10:57,992
Thank God you're back.

183
00:10:58,409 --> 00:11:01,996
Edge just sent someone over with
a massive ad buy for tomorrow's paper.

184
00:11:02,955 --> 00:11:05,207
- For more recruits?
- Twice as many.

185
00:11:06,208 --> 00:11:08,252
Whatever crazy voodoo
Edge is doing to these people,

186
00:11:08,335 --> 00:11:10,004
he's kicking into high gear.

187
00:11:11,172 --> 00:11:12,214
Where are you going?

188
00:11:13,299 --> 00:11:14,967
Oh, to make a scene.

189
00:11:20,848 --> 00:11:22,183
- Lois.
- Where's Edge?

190
00:11:22,266 --> 00:11:23,266
He's in a group meeting.

191
00:11:23,309 --> 00:11:25,436
I just found out
about the ad this morning.

192
00:11:29,231 --> 00:11:31,351
You don't want anything to do
with what he's offering.

193
00:11:31,859 --> 00:11:32,775
Miss Lane...

194
00:11:32,776 --> 00:11:35,196
You all need to walk away right now.
Walk away.

195
00:11:37,323 --> 00:11:38,324
Don't touch me.

196
00:11:38,532 --> 00:11:41,035
I'm sorry. If everyone could give
Miss Lane and I a moment,

197
00:11:41,118 --> 00:11:42,578
I promise this won't take long.

198
00:11:42,661 --> 00:11:44,872
I know this sounds insane,
because it is,

199
00:11:44,955 --> 00:11:49,210
but he wants to erase everything you are
and replace it with something else.

200
00:11:54,590 --> 00:11:55,591
Well, that was desperate.

201
00:11:56,508 --> 00:11:57,593
I know what you're doing.

202
00:11:58,302 --> 00:12:00,596
Providing good jobs
to a community in need.

203
00:12:00,971 --> 00:12:04,433
You're putting Kryptonian
consciousnesses into people's bodies.

204
00:12:04,516 --> 00:12:06,936
You are taking them over
and giving them powers.

205
00:12:08,479 --> 00:12:10,439
And your evidence for this is...

206
00:12:11,232 --> 00:12:13,859
- Derek Powell, Reno Rosetti, Leslie.
- [scoffs]

207
00:12:13,943 --> 00:12:16,570
So two dead men
and my personal assistant. [chuckles]

208
00:12:17,321 --> 00:12:20,658
I have to say, this story has holes
even by your standards.

209
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,534
We both know it's the truth.

210
00:12:22,910 --> 00:12:25,621
In my experience,
truth is rather subjective.

211
00:12:25,704 --> 00:12:27,748
Who do you think people
are more likely to believe?

212
00:12:28,249 --> 00:12:30,668
A has-been slumming it
at the local paper

213
00:12:30,751 --> 00:12:33,671
or the man who's giving this town
the best economy it's ever known?

214
00:12:33,754 --> 00:12:37,341
These people are not puppets
to be controlled by you.

215
00:12:37,424 --> 00:12:38,759
They have dreams.

216
00:12:38,842 --> 00:12:40,302
They have families.

217
00:12:40,386 --> 00:12:42,930
No one is being forced
to do anything against their will.

218
00:12:43,013 --> 00:12:44,890
Everyone's made the same offer,
the chance

219
00:12:45,015 --> 00:12:46,684
for a better life. Says so right there.

220
00:12:46,767 --> 00:12:48,060
We're not publishing this.

221
00:12:49,061 --> 00:12:50,938
I guess word of mouth
will have to suffice.

222
00:12:52,481 --> 00:12:54,775
You can't stop this, Lois.

223
00:12:56,193 --> 00:13:00,155
Perhaps it's time you use that device
you have to call in your Super Friend.

224
00:13:01,115 --> 00:13:02,283
Perhaps it is.

225
00:13:04,159 --> 00:13:05,160
Risky, though.

226
00:13:05,703 --> 00:13:07,162
Need I remind you where he's from?

227
00:13:08,247 --> 00:13:11,041
He may take comfort knowing
there are others here just like him.

228
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,461
As John Irons prophesied.

229
00:13:15,671 --> 00:13:17,965
Superman is nothing like them.

230
00:13:18,632 --> 00:13:20,050
[snickers]

231
00:13:20,718 --> 00:13:22,011
I'm excited to find out.

232
00:13:31,562 --> 00:13:33,647
Hey, looks like you finally
figured out that locker.

233
00:13:33,731 --> 00:13:35,691
Yeah... No... Yeah, I took your advice.

234
00:13:35,774 --> 00:13:38,110
You know, nothing good ever comes
from anger, so...

235
00:13:44,033 --> 00:13:46,618
Hey, uh, Tegan.

236
00:13:46,702 --> 00:13:47,911
Hey. Um...

237
00:13:47,995 --> 00:13:50,289
I was just wondering if,
like, maybe, uh,

238
00:13:50,372 --> 00:13:53,500
you wanted to hang out
after school sometime?

239
00:13:54,626 --> 00:13:58,714
Hang out. Like, just the two of us?

240
00:13:58,797 --> 00:14:01,967
Yeah. I mean, doesn't have to be
like that formal or anything. Just...

241
00:14:03,093 --> 00:14:04,553
Grab a bite at the diner.

242
00:14:05,596 --> 00:14:06,596
Um...

243
00:14:08,474 --> 00:14:11,226
Look, I'm sure you're a really
sweet guy and all...

244
00:14:11,435 --> 00:14:13,145
Look, I just thought...

245
00:14:14,021 --> 00:14:16,541
I don't know, I just thought, like,
we were trading looks and...

246
00:14:16,607 --> 00:14:21,445
Well, yeah, I mean, you had that
broken arm and you looked so lonely.

247
00:14:21,528 --> 00:14:23,530
I was just trying to be nice.

248
00:14:24,948 --> 00:14:25,949
Yeah. Right.

249
00:14:26,033 --> 00:14:28,243
Look, I wasn't trying to hurt
your feelings or anything.

250
00:14:28,327 --> 00:14:31,580
No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's... it's... it's all good.

251
00:14:31,872 --> 00:14:32,872
It's my bad.

252
00:14:34,500 --> 00:14:35,834
- Cool.
- See you later.

253
00:14:38,962 --> 00:14:42,132
Whoo! Looks like you need
a new playbook, QB2.

254
00:14:42,633 --> 00:14:45,153
You got to work on closing that deal
like you close your locker.

255
00:14:45,219 --> 00:14:46,261
[school bell rings]

256
00:14:51,183 --> 00:14:53,161
- [Lois] Clark, are you here?
- [Clark] In the kitchen.

257
00:14:53,185 --> 00:14:54,269
We got a problem.

258
00:14:54,853 --> 00:14:57,523
Morgan Edge is ramping up
that program of his.

259
00:14:57,606 --> 00:14:59,691
Oh, my God! What happened?

260
00:15:00,317 --> 00:15:02,486
I went to stop this bank robbery
and I got hit.

261
00:15:02,569 --> 00:15:05,239
- Did they use Kryptonite?
- No. Regular bullets.

262
00:15:05,322 --> 00:15:07,699
This isn't normal.
Superman doesn't bruise,

263
00:15:07,783 --> 00:15:09,159
especially not from bullets.

264
00:15:09,827 --> 00:15:12,187
You think it has something to do
with that gas Rosetti used?

265
00:15:12,746 --> 00:15:14,748
I don't know.
We're gonna have to call my dad.

266
00:15:17,709 --> 00:15:19,628
[piano playing]

267
00:15:20,379 --> 00:15:22,464
Sorry about messing up the intro.

268
00:15:22,881 --> 00:15:25,342
I didn't even notice. You sounded great.

269
00:15:26,677 --> 00:15:27,678
Thanks.

270
00:15:29,721 --> 00:15:31,348
How are you so awesome at piano?

271
00:15:31,432 --> 00:15:34,272
Do you have any other little secret
talents you're not telling me about?

272
00:15:34,351 --> 00:15:37,646
Um... Nah, this is pretty much it.

273
00:15:39,189 --> 00:15:42,109
Well, thank you for everything.

274
00:15:42,192 --> 00:15:47,114
All the time you've put into this.
It really means a lot having you here.

275
00:15:50,033 --> 00:15:51,076
I want to be here.

276
00:15:56,457 --> 00:15:57,875
[sneezes]

277
00:15:59,168 --> 00:16:01,003
[chuckles] Bless you.

278
00:16:04,590 --> 00:16:08,260
I... I must have allergies or something.

279
00:16:08,677 --> 00:16:09,678
Jordan, I...

280
00:16:11,555 --> 00:16:12,556
Jordan!

281
00:16:25,611 --> 00:16:26,862
[beeping]

282
00:16:28,822 --> 00:16:29,823
[Clark] Jordan.

283
00:16:32,451 --> 00:16:33,744
Something's wrong with me.

284
00:16:36,747 --> 00:16:37,748
You're infected, too.

285
00:16:39,333 --> 00:16:40,334
Come on.

286
00:16:45,797 --> 00:16:46,798
[Lois] Here, honey.

287
00:16:47,216 --> 00:16:48,217
So, what's happening?

288
00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:50,802
The Kryptonite gas
that Rosetti used on me at the DOD,

289
00:16:50,886 --> 00:16:53,972
it was a bioweapon, and I think
it might be a communicable.

290
00:16:54,515 --> 00:16:55,849
Like a virus?

291
00:16:57,768 --> 00:17:02,189
So I'm... I'm getting
Kryptonite sickness from you.

292
00:17:03,148 --> 00:17:04,148
[sighs] Yeah.

293
00:17:05,150 --> 00:17:06,527
Clark, it's not your fault.

294
00:17:06,610 --> 00:17:09,029
You didn't even know
anything was happening until today.

295
00:17:09,112 --> 00:17:11,573
You have super-healing,
so how long are you sick for?

296
00:17:12,658 --> 00:17:14,868
Your dad has never been sick
a day in his life.

297
00:17:17,454 --> 00:17:19,998
Well, I'm not that bad.

298
00:17:21,833 --> 00:17:23,460
[sneezes]

299
00:17:23,794 --> 00:17:25,587
Ow! [groans]

300
00:17:26,922 --> 00:17:28,507
This wasn't supposed to happen.

301
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,802
Really? Because it sure
seems like a weapon

302
00:17:31,885 --> 00:17:35,389
designed to hurt Superman
would hurt Superman.

303
00:17:35,472 --> 00:17:39,851
It was only meant as a last resort,
just to weaken him temporarily.

304
00:17:39,935 --> 00:17:42,020
Then why is my son sick?

305
00:17:42,104 --> 00:17:45,983
Explain that to me.
You put your own grandson in harm's way.

306
00:17:46,733 --> 00:17:48,193
Sam, how do we fix this?

307
00:17:48,986 --> 00:17:50,487
My guys are working on it.

308
00:17:53,156 --> 00:17:54,157
[Jon] Yo, Sarah.

309
00:17:54,908 --> 00:17:56,201
- Hi.
- Hey.

310
00:17:56,285 --> 00:17:58,579
Are there gonna be refreshments
at this thing, or what?

311
00:17:58,662 --> 00:18:00,747
[chuckles nervously]
Uh, have you seen Jordan?

312
00:18:00,831 --> 00:18:03,458
No. He's probably just putting on
his best black tee for the show.

313
00:18:03,542 --> 00:18:05,436
- You know how it goes.
- No, I don't, because, uh,

314
00:18:05,460 --> 00:18:07,713
he left about an hour ago,
and he hasn't come back.

315
00:18:07,796 --> 00:18:09,190
Did he tell you where he was going?

316
00:18:09,214 --> 00:18:11,774
No. He just ran out of rehearsal
like a frightened little rabbit.

317
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:12,926
I...

318
00:18:13,719 --> 00:18:16,388
We were really
having a nice time together.

319
00:18:16,471 --> 00:18:18,932
Or at least I thought we were
until he completely ghosted me.

320
00:18:19,016 --> 00:18:20,475
Sarah, I don't think it's about you.

321
00:18:21,226 --> 00:18:22,226
I'll find him.

322
00:18:22,311 --> 00:18:25,439
Okay, well, hurry up, because
I think I'm the first one up.

323
00:18:25,522 --> 00:18:26,522
All right.

324
00:18:27,774 --> 00:18:28,984
[Sarah sighs]

325
00:18:29,067 --> 00:18:30,110
[Lana] Emily.

326
00:18:30,819 --> 00:18:34,197
Emily. Hey,
I've been meaning to ask you,

327
00:18:34,615 --> 00:18:36,491
how's it going with the program?

328
00:18:36,617 --> 00:18:37,659
Oh.

329
00:18:37,743 --> 00:18:40,162
Mr. Edge is a genius.

330
00:18:40,579 --> 00:18:44,458
That he somehow figured out a process
to completely transform people's lives,

331
00:18:44,541 --> 00:18:46,627
it's... it's amazing.

332
00:18:47,002 --> 00:18:48,253
What process?

333
00:18:50,255 --> 00:18:53,300
I'm sorry. I assumed you'd already
gone through it.

334
00:18:53,383 --> 00:18:54,843
No, I haven't.

335
00:18:55,552 --> 00:18:57,804
What did he do to you exactly?

336
00:18:58,847 --> 00:19:01,391
Mr. Edge was very clear
that we not tell anyone.

337
00:19:01,475 --> 00:19:05,604
Emily, we've known each other
since the fifth grade. You can trust me.

338
00:19:06,229 --> 00:19:08,732
Lana, do you have a moment?

339
00:19:11,151 --> 00:19:12,152
I'll see you later.

340
00:19:24,498 --> 00:19:29,127
It seems you've been looking into
things that don't concern you.

341
00:19:32,214 --> 00:19:34,966
Well, you put me in charge
of the Young Executive Program.

342
00:19:35,050 --> 00:19:37,135
I should at least know
what it's really about.

343
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:41,139
And is this to satisfy
your own curiosity,

344
00:19:41,223 --> 00:19:43,016
or so that you can run
and tell Lois Lane?

345
00:19:44,017 --> 00:19:45,686
I never told her anything.

346
00:19:46,144 --> 00:19:47,144
It's okay.

347
00:19:47,270 --> 00:19:50,148
As evidenced by today's spectacle,
Miss Lane is desperate.

348
00:19:50,232 --> 00:19:51,584
In fact, I'd have been more surprised

349
00:19:51,608 --> 00:19:53,443
if she hadn't tried
to scare you into helping.

350
00:19:57,155 --> 00:20:00,826
Emily told me about
a process she went under.

351
00:20:02,202 --> 00:20:03,620
What is she talking about?

352
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,248
An offer I made her.

353
00:20:07,624 --> 00:20:11,378
The same one I'm about to
make right now to you.

354
00:20:12,796 --> 00:20:14,464
And make no mistake...

355
00:20:16,591 --> 00:20:19,219
the answer you give
will impact the rest of your life.

356
00:20:23,890 --> 00:20:25,810
- [Jon] Jordan, where are you?
- [Lois] Upstairs.

357
00:20:27,185 --> 00:20:28,437
[Jon exhales]

358
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,564
It's like Iditarod-level cold in here.

359
00:20:30,981 --> 00:20:32,315
Your brother's sick.

360
00:20:33,024 --> 00:20:35,264
Does that have something to do
with you flaking on Sarah?

361
00:20:36,611 --> 00:20:39,364
- I got to get back to her.
- You're not going anywhere.

362
00:20:39,448 --> 00:20:41,825
Sarah's going on any minute.
I can't just abandon her.

363
00:20:41,908 --> 00:20:42,824
She'll be okay.

364
00:20:42,826 --> 00:20:43,826
No, she won't.

365
00:20:43,827 --> 00:20:46,789
This is exactly what her dad did.
I can't let that happen again.

366
00:20:46,872 --> 00:20:49,458
I know you want to be there for her,
but you cannot go anywhere

367
00:20:49,541 --> 00:20:50,977
until we know exactly what is going on.

368
00:20:51,001 --> 00:20:52,895
Wait, we don't even know
what's going on with him?

369
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:54,212
The Kryptonite that infected

370
00:20:54,337 --> 00:20:55,773
your brother is affecting him
differently than me.

371
00:20:55,797 --> 00:20:57,674
Your grandfather
is working with the doctors

372
00:20:57,758 --> 00:20:58,901
to figure out a way to help him.

373
00:20:58,925 --> 00:21:00,135
Jonathan, he's gonna be fine.

374
00:21:00,552 --> 00:21:01,887
[sneezes]

375
00:21:01,970 --> 00:21:04,139
[Jordan groaning]

376
00:21:04,389 --> 00:21:06,349
Dad, that does not seem fine.

377
00:21:07,934 --> 00:21:09,519
It's getting harder to breathe.

378
00:21:09,603 --> 00:21:12,522
- What is happening to him?
- We can't wait for your dad.

379
00:21:21,615 --> 00:21:22,616
Let me call you back.

380
00:21:25,994 --> 00:21:27,037
Why's Clark leaving?

381
00:21:28,914 --> 00:21:30,123
To do what you can't.

382
00:21:30,582 --> 00:21:34,252
Lois, that gas Rosetti
used on Clark was synthetic.

383
00:21:34,336 --> 00:21:36,087
Experimental. It hadn't been tested.

384
00:21:36,505 --> 00:21:38,215
We didn't know
what his reaction would be.

385
00:21:43,094 --> 00:21:46,765
All my life,
your job was your number one priority.

386
00:21:47,808 --> 00:21:50,393
Accepting that wasn't easy.

387
00:21:50,644 --> 00:21:52,312
But I learned to live with it,

388
00:21:52,395 --> 00:21:54,147
and somehow even grew to respect it

389
00:21:54,231 --> 00:21:56,817
because I believed that
you were trying to do the right thing.

390
00:21:56,900 --> 00:22:01,738
And I honestly naively thought that
once I had a family, you might change.

391
00:22:02,614 --> 00:22:04,491
Start putting us first.

392
00:22:05,575 --> 00:22:07,244
But I was wrong.

393
00:22:08,453 --> 00:22:11,540
Knowingly and willingly

394
00:22:11,623 --> 00:22:14,376
endangering the lives
of the people I love?

395
00:22:16,002 --> 00:22:17,003
I can't forgive that.

396
00:22:18,964 --> 00:22:22,259
So when this is over, I want you
to leave and never come back.

397
00:22:26,179 --> 00:22:27,806
You're not welcome here anymore.

398
00:22:50,412 --> 00:22:52,974
Jordan's been infected with Kryptonite.
It's affecting his breathing.

399
00:22:52,998 --> 00:22:55,500
[Jor-El]
He's in respiratory distress.

400
00:22:55,916 --> 00:22:56,834
Why?

401
00:22:56,835 --> 00:23:00,171
The Kryptonite is causing his lungs
to fill with fluid.

402
00:23:00,255 --> 00:23:03,341
As he can condense
large quantities of air...

403
00:23:03,425 --> 00:23:04,593
He's cooling it like I do.

404
00:23:06,261 --> 00:23:07,781
Can you get the Kryptonite out of him?

405
00:23:07,929 --> 00:23:08,930
Likely.

406
00:23:09,139 --> 00:23:12,350
But only the same way
we have with you in the past.

407
00:23:20,066 --> 00:23:21,067
What?

408
00:23:21,151 --> 00:23:22,944
Come here. Come here.

409
00:23:26,197 --> 00:23:28,517
We're gonna have to burn the Kryptonite
out of your system.

410
00:23:28,783 --> 00:23:30,076
Burn it? How?

411
00:23:31,578 --> 00:23:33,204
With heat. With...

412
00:23:33,997 --> 00:23:35,040
some immense heat.

413
00:23:35,123 --> 00:23:36,791
- No, no, no, no...
- Listen to me.

414
00:23:36,875 --> 00:23:39,294
Listen to me.
This is the only way, okay?

415
00:23:39,377 --> 00:23:42,047
We have to do this, otherwise your lungs
could completely freeze.

416
00:23:42,130 --> 00:23:43,924
Dad, I'm scared.

417
00:23:44,174 --> 00:23:46,593
I'm gonna be right here.
You're gonna take my hand. Okay?

418
00:23:46,843 --> 00:23:50,013
You are gonna squeeze
as hard as you need to, okay?

419
00:23:50,847 --> 00:23:51,848
You can do this.

420
00:23:55,644 --> 00:23:57,228
[screaming]

421
00:24:02,192 --> 00:24:03,193
[Jon] Mom.

422
00:24:06,196 --> 00:24:07,864
Mom, you okay?

423
00:24:09,032 --> 00:24:10,408
I should've protected him.

424
00:24:10,909 --> 00:24:12,243
[Jon sighs]

425
00:24:13,578 --> 00:24:15,288
Mom, this is... This isn't on you.

426
00:24:19,584 --> 00:24:20,794
I'm your mom.

427
00:24:20,877 --> 00:24:25,006
My one job is to keep you guys safe,
and I keep failing at it.

428
00:24:25,090 --> 00:24:26,925
No. No, you don't.

429
00:24:27,425 --> 00:24:30,470
You were almost gunned down
in John Henry's RV.

430
00:24:30,553 --> 00:24:31,553
That was my fault.

431
00:24:31,554 --> 00:24:33,098
Got into a car accident.

432
00:24:33,181 --> 00:24:34,391
That was also my fault.

433
00:24:34,474 --> 00:24:38,186
I feel like I can't turn around without
one of you being in mortal danger.

434
00:24:38,269 --> 00:24:40,605
Why is it so hard to keep you safe?

435
00:24:43,441 --> 00:24:44,442
I don't know.

436
00:24:45,110 --> 00:24:46,111
Just...

437
00:24:47,904 --> 00:24:51,282
Just part of being
a super family, I guess.

438
00:24:55,662 --> 00:24:59,416
Hey, come here.
Dad will figure something out.

439
00:25:00,750 --> 00:25:01,751
He always does.

440
00:25:11,136 --> 00:25:14,514
- Lana, I saved you both seats.
- Hey. Thank you.

441
00:25:14,973 --> 00:25:18,018
- Hi. How are you doing?
- Hey. Good to see you.

442
00:25:23,273 --> 00:25:25,525
[woman] Hello, everyone,
and thank you for coming.

443
00:25:25,942 --> 00:25:28,987
- Our students tonight were...
- How did everything go with Edge?

444
00:25:29,070 --> 00:25:30,155
Oh, amazing!

445
00:25:30,488 --> 00:25:32,407
He explained everything to me.

446
00:25:32,490 --> 00:25:34,034
It all makes perfect sense.

447
00:25:34,409 --> 00:25:36,119
- Thank you.
- Yeah.

448
00:25:36,661 --> 00:25:40,749
And for our first performance,
we have the very talented Sarah Cushing

Um...

I'm sorry. I can't do this.

00:26:06,232 --> 00:26:07,232
[Kyle] Yes, you can.

455
00:26:09,194 --> 00:26:11,029
Just like being at home, okay?

[General Lane] Just waiting
to hear back from my team,

467
00:27:31,860 --> 00:27:35,155
and we'll get everything straightened
out with Jordan and your dad.

468
00:27:35,238 --> 00:27:36,478
Little late for that, isn't it?

469
00:27:40,034 --> 00:27:41,034
Why'd you do it?

470
00:27:43,830 --> 00:27:45,707
Why did you build those weapons
to hurt my dad?

471

Your father's the most powerful being
this world's ever known.

My job is to keep us safe.

00:28:01,514 --> 00:28:04,434
Which means being prepared
for any scenario,

474
00:28:04,517 --> 00:28:05,977
no matter how unlikely.

475
00:28:08,188 --> 00:28:11,232
You and I, we're not like your dad,
or even Jordan.

476
00:28:12,692 --> 00:28:14,068
He's my twin brother.

477
00:28:14,152 --> 00:28:17,906
Yes, but the minute his powers surfaced,

478
00:28:19,032 --> 00:28:21,784
you and him began walking
two very different paths.

479
00:28:24,871 --> 00:28:25,997
That scares you, doesn't it?

480
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,333
It does.

481
00:28:31,211 --> 00:28:32,670
You know, I think you're wrong.

482
00:28:33,588 --> 00:28:35,798
I think you're wrong
about you and I being alike.

483
00:28:36,799 --> 00:28:37,800
How so?

484
00:28:40,178 --> 00:28:42,055
I could never be scared of my family.

485
00:28:44,599 --> 00:28:46,434
No matter what powers they might have.

486
00:28:46,643 --> 00:28:48,895
Jonathan, you haven't seen
the things I have.

487
00:28:51,981 --> 00:28:52,982
Yeah, you're right.

488
00:28:56,569 --> 00:29:00,448
But in the end,
I don't think that would matter

489
00:29:01,658 --> 00:29:03,409
because I'd still trust them,

490
00:29:04,202 --> 00:29:05,411
and you'd still be a coward.

491
00:29:17,924 --> 00:29:23,179
[singing] <i>There's a fight to be won
For the love you find at home</i>

492
00:29:23,972 --> 00:29:24,973
[Sarah] Mom.

493
00:29:26,724 --> 00:29:30,103
- You were wonderful out there.
- Thank you.

494
00:29:30,186 --> 00:29:32,063
It felt really good once I got going.

495
00:29:32,146 --> 00:29:33,982
- Yeah.
- I told you, you'd kill it.

496
00:29:34,816 --> 00:29:38,528
Thank you, Dad, for helping me.

497
00:29:44,951 --> 00:29:47,078
[ringing]

498
00:29:52,834 --> 00:29:55,211
<i>Please forgive if I don't walk</i>

499
00:29:55,545 --> 00:29:58,089
Emily, where are you going?
Avery's not done yet.

500
00:29:58,172 --> 00:29:59,465
I'll be right back.

501
00:30:03,594 --> 00:30:04,679
That was weird.

502
00:30:05,221 --> 00:30:06,222
Yeah.

503
00:30:06,806 --> 00:30:09,142
- Let me go see what's wrong.
- Wait. Kyle...

504
00:30:13,062 --> 00:30:14,230
[Larr] Have you seen this?

505
00:30:18,026 --> 00:30:19,068
He's still weak.

506
00:30:19,652 --> 00:30:23,031
The exact reason why I just activated
some of our Subjekts.

507
00:30:23,781 --> 00:30:25,325
To take down Superman?

508
00:30:26,492 --> 00:30:27,493
Not him.

509
00:30:28,995 --> 00:30:30,496
The one he protects.

510
00:30:36,002 --> 00:30:37,170
[Jordan screaming]

511
00:30:37,253 --> 00:30:39,315
- [Jor-El] <i>The Kryptonite is nearly gone.</i>
- You're doing great.

512
00:30:39,339 --> 00:30:41,591
You're almost there.
You're almost there.

513
00:30:44,761 --> 00:30:46,054
That's it!

514
00:30:46,429 --> 00:30:47,698
It's over. That's it. It's over.

515
00:30:47,722 --> 00:30:49,807
You're done. Hey, you did it, okay?

516
00:30:49,891 --> 00:30:52,518
Hey, I'm proud of you.

517
00:30:52,602 --> 00:30:54,354
You all right?

518
00:30:54,437 --> 00:30:56,689
Come here. I'm proud of you.
Come on, stand up.

519
00:30:56,773 --> 00:30:57,773
Stand up.

520
00:30:58,983 --> 00:31:01,527
What do you mean you don't know
how long it will affect him?

521
00:31:02,987 --> 00:31:05,990
No, I haven't tested the prototype.

522
00:31:06,074 --> 00:31:07,825
He wasn't exactly in the mood.

523
00:31:08,659 --> 00:31:09,744
Just get me an answer.

524
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,789
[phone beeps]

525
00:31:21,547 --> 00:31:23,758
Can we just, like,
call them or something?

526
00:31:24,884 --> 00:31:27,178
It's named
the Fortress of Solitude for a reason.

527
00:31:28,805 --> 00:31:31,140
I know it sucks.
We just have to be patient, okay?

528
00:31:38,189 --> 00:31:39,857
[cell phone ringing, vibrating]

529
00:31:41,192 --> 00:31:42,568
- Hey, Lana.
<i>- Lois.</i>

530
00:31:42,819 --> 00:31:44,404
You know how you kept asking me

531
00:31:44,487 --> 00:31:47,698
if anyone over at Edge EnerCorp
was acting differently?

532
00:31:48,199 --> 00:31:50,910
I just saw it for the first time,
with Emily Phan.

533
00:31:52,245 --> 00:31:53,245
Emily?

534
00:31:53,287 --> 00:31:56,833
Yeah. She left in the middle
of her daughter's performance.

535
00:31:56,916 --> 00:31:58,251
She would never do that.

536
00:31:58,334 --> 00:32:00,002
Avery is everything to her.

537
00:32:00,503 --> 00:32:02,380
I mean, it's like she was...

538
00:32:02,964 --> 00:32:04,132
She was someone else.

539
00:32:06,175 --> 00:32:07,385
[knock on door]

540
00:32:07,468 --> 00:32:08,469
I'll get it.

541
00:32:09,470 --> 00:32:11,222
<i>I guess this is what Edge meant.</i>

542
00:32:11,639 --> 00:32:12,639
What do you mean?

543
00:32:12,682 --> 00:32:14,392
<i>Tonight, before I left the office,</i>

544
00:32:14,934 --> 00:32:16,144
he made me an offer,

545
00:32:17,103 --> 00:32:18,855
to do what he's doing to everyone else.

546
00:32:18,938 --> 00:32:21,524
- What?
- I turned him down.

547
00:32:21,607 --> 00:32:24,026
Lana, why wouldn't you
mention this before?

548
00:32:24,110 --> 00:32:25,903
Because I was nervous.

549
00:32:26,654 --> 00:32:28,906
He knew I was feeding you information.

550
00:32:28,990 --> 00:32:30,658
Hey, Mom, I think it's for you.

551
00:32:30,741 --> 00:32:31,826
<i>Lois, I'm worried.</i>

552
00:32:33,411 --> 00:32:34,871
<i>What if he does something?</i>

553
00:32:37,957 --> 00:32:38,958
Mom?

554
00:32:39,667 --> 00:32:40,668
<i>Lois?</i>

555
00:32:41,335 --> 00:32:43,171
- She shouldn't have called.
<i>- Lois?</i>

556
00:32:51,012 --> 00:32:52,263
[echoing] Not this time.

557
00:32:54,015 --> 00:32:55,015
[gasps]

558
00:32:58,144 --> 00:32:59,228
This isn't you.

559
00:32:59,645 --> 00:33:00,938
Not anymore.

560
00:33:04,942 --> 00:33:06,360
[groaning]

561
00:33:06,444 --> 00:33:07,695
Get out of here.

562
00:33:09,155 --> 00:33:11,199
Keep hitting this till he comes.
It's all we can do.

563
00:33:11,282 --> 00:33:12,468
No, no, no. We need to go to the barn.

564
00:33:12,492 --> 00:33:14,076
I'll keep 'em busy.

565
00:33:26,464 --> 00:33:27,465
You took his weapons?

566
00:33:31,385 --> 00:33:32,386
Kyle?

567
00:33:32,678 --> 00:33:35,348
I just came from the performance.
Lana was scared.

568
00:33:35,973 --> 00:33:38,226
- What's going on?
- Edge sent people to kill me.

569
00:33:38,601 --> 00:33:39,601
It's not gonna happen.

570
00:33:44,357 --> 00:33:45,525
[grunting]

571
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,240
Stay down.

572
00:34:06,295 --> 00:34:07,296
The targets first.

573
00:34:09,549 --> 00:34:11,549
[Jordan] So that's what Kryptonite
feels like, huh?

574
00:34:13,094 --> 00:34:14,095
[Clark] Yeah.

575
00:34:23,354 --> 00:34:24,355
Dad?

576
00:34:35,575 --> 00:34:36,742
I'm sorry, Jordan.

577
00:34:39,537 --> 00:34:42,164
Your life right now has completely
changed because of who I am.

578
00:34:44,917 --> 00:34:46,502
Everything that's happening to you,

579
00:34:48,087 --> 00:34:49,714
you didn't ask for any of this.

580
00:34:52,633 --> 00:34:53,634
I didn't.

581
00:34:55,803 --> 00:34:58,014
But you didn't ask
for what happened to you either.

582
00:35:12,111 --> 00:35:13,446
[rumbling]

583
00:35:16,365 --> 00:35:17,408
Here, give me the gun.

584
00:35:31,047 --> 00:35:32,167
Pretty good with that thing.

585
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,808
[echoing] We're not
just gonna kill you, Lois.

586
00:35:43,267 --> 00:35:45,102
He wanted you to suffer first.

587
00:35:59,116 --> 00:36:00,117
They're gone.

588
00:36:14,131 --> 00:36:15,341
Better than ice.

589
00:36:15,466 --> 00:36:17,635
Unless that was a lie
you told me when I was a kid.

590
00:36:19,011 --> 00:36:20,554
Only way I could get you to do it.

591
00:36:22,014 --> 00:36:24,684
We sure went through our fair share
of frozen peas, didn't we?

592
00:36:25,393 --> 00:36:26,644
God, even as a kid,

593
00:36:26,727 --> 00:36:28,604
you were always coming home bruised up.

594
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:35,528
I was never there to keep you
from getting them, though, was I?

595
00:36:37,279 --> 00:36:38,280
Dad.

596
00:36:38,531 --> 00:36:39,532
It's true.

597
00:36:39,699 --> 00:36:42,410
Everything you said is true.

598
00:36:44,412 --> 00:36:45,746
I wasn't the best father.

599
00:36:47,415 --> 00:36:50,334
I was gone... a lot.

600
00:36:52,211 --> 00:36:55,673
And I wasn't there to protect you
where a parent should.

601
00:37:00,594 --> 00:37:01,887
You were, tonight.

602
00:37:04,098 --> 00:37:05,808
Couldn't let 'em hurt my grandson.

603
00:37:09,812 --> 00:37:11,355
And my little girl.

604
00:37:20,364 --> 00:37:23,284
Lois, we're gonna stay here
till this is over.

605
00:37:23,617 --> 00:37:28,122
As of now, you,
the boys, Clark, Smallville,

606
00:37:29,665 --> 00:37:30,791
that's my priority.

607
00:37:31,375 --> 00:37:32,376
[Lois] Good.

608
00:37:33,753 --> 00:37:36,714
Because that war John Henry Irons
was talking about...

609
00:37:38,048 --> 00:37:39,467
I think it's about to happen.

610
00:37:42,261 --> 00:37:44,722
Think Mom's gonna let you
keep the solar weapons now?

611
00:37:45,181 --> 00:37:46,182
I don't know.

612
00:37:46,265 --> 00:37:48,705
I mean, they're pretty much
the only reason we're alive, so...

613
00:37:49,477 --> 00:37:51,896
Would suck to come home
and find out I was an only child.

614
00:37:54,940 --> 00:37:55,940
Yeah.

615
00:37:56,984 --> 00:37:57,984
So...

616
00:37:59,570 --> 00:38:01,781
So you're just, like, fine now?

617
00:38:03,199 --> 00:38:06,410
Yeah. Other than ice breath.

618
00:38:06,494 --> 00:38:08,162
So you have that now for good, or what?

619
00:38:08,245 --> 00:38:09,830
- Think so.
- Wow.

620
00:38:10,498 --> 00:38:11,582
What's that feel like?

621
00:38:11,665 --> 00:38:14,376
Like having a piece of wintergreen gum
in your mouth at all times.

622
00:38:15,753 --> 00:38:16,753
Nice.

623
00:38:16,796 --> 00:38:19,173
I can't believe what happened.

624
00:38:20,341 --> 00:38:23,427
Avery Phan's mom and Mr. Cushing?

625
00:38:23,511 --> 00:38:24,738
Right. But it wasn't them, you know?

626
00:38:24,762 --> 00:38:26,180
They were super, super brainwashed.

627
00:38:27,848 --> 00:38:31,477
Think Grandpa is sending a few people
to go look from 'em both.

628
00:38:34,563 --> 00:38:35,689
Are they gonna tell Sarah?

629
00:38:38,859 --> 00:38:39,860
I don't know.

630
00:38:51,038 --> 00:38:52,540
Oh, my God! What happened?

631
00:38:52,706 --> 00:38:54,166
Are you drunk?

632
00:38:54,416 --> 00:38:56,752
- No.
- Honey, could you excuse us?

633
00:38:56,836 --> 00:38:57,752
Mom.

634
00:38:57,753 --> 00:38:59,713
Please, I need to speak
to your father alone.

635
00:39:02,883 --> 00:39:03,968
Sure.

636
00:39:06,220 --> 00:39:07,471
- Are you?
- No.

637
00:39:09,139 --> 00:39:13,435
No. Look, I told you
I am done with all that.

638
00:39:13,769 --> 00:39:16,981
I'm trying to improve myself, Lana.
I really am.

639
00:39:17,064 --> 00:39:19,650
But something happened to me tonight.

640
00:39:20,484 --> 00:39:22,528
I was at the performance.

641
00:39:23,112 --> 00:39:26,991
We were talking to Sarah,
and then I blacked out.

642
00:39:28,450 --> 00:39:30,570
Next thing you know,
I'm out in the middle of a field,

643
00:39:30,703 --> 00:39:33,122
somewhere outside of town,
and my ribs...

644
00:39:33,205 --> 00:39:34,707
My ribs are hurting,

645
00:39:34,790 --> 00:39:36,250
and I don't know how I got there,

646
00:39:36,333 --> 00:39:37,751
I don't know what's going on...

647
00:39:38,127 --> 00:39:39,128
What?

648
00:39:41,088 --> 00:39:44,133
The steps you're taking
to improve yourself,

649
00:39:45,134 --> 00:39:47,469
did Morgan Edge make you an offer?

650
00:40:08,574 --> 00:40:09,575
How can I help you?

651
00:40:10,993 --> 00:40:12,286
I want to be my best self.

652
00:40:13,162 --> 00:40:14,872
I wanted to be better.

653
00:40:15,831 --> 00:40:18,626
For you and for our girls, babe.

654
00:40:22,171 --> 00:40:23,714
[cell phone vibrating]

655
00:40:23,797 --> 00:40:25,132
[groans]

656
00:40:26,091 --> 00:40:27,134
Hey, Chrissy.

657
00:40:27,217 --> 00:40:29,362
[Chrissy] <i>You said if we kept digging,
the answer would present itself,</i>

658
00:40:29,386 --> 00:40:31,323
and honestly, for a while,
I thought you were nuts

659
00:40:31,347 --> 00:40:32,866
'cause nothing new was coming to light.

660
00:40:32,890 --> 00:40:35,726
But then I got back all the research
on the powered people we know,

661
00:40:35,809 --> 00:40:38,228
<i>and I found this little nugget
that means something.</i>

662
00:40:38,312 --> 00:40:40,773
I just don't know what yet,
but thought your big brain

663
00:40:40,856 --> 00:40:42,216
might be able to connect the dots.

664
00:40:42,733 --> 00:40:44,173
Chrissy, what are you talking about?

665
00:40:44,526 --> 00:40:47,446
Irma Sayres and David Fugelstad.

666
00:40:47,988 --> 00:40:48,988
Who?

667
00:40:49,073 --> 00:40:51,992
Leslie Larr and motel attacker guy.

668
00:40:52,743 --> 00:40:55,120
Leslie Larr's real name is Irma Sayres?

669
00:40:55,204 --> 00:40:58,165
Mmm-hmm. And the guy is David Fugelstad.

670
00:40:58,374 --> 00:40:59,375
<i>And guess what?</i>

671
00:40:59,458 --> 00:41:03,212
I found out they're both
originally from Smallville.

672
00:41:06,048 --> 00:41:07,549
Derek Powell's from New Carthage,

673
00:41:07,633 --> 00:41:09,802
Reno Rosetti is from Metropolis.

674
00:41:09,885 --> 00:41:11,971
David Fugelstad and Leslie Larr
are from Smallville.

675
00:41:13,180 --> 00:41:15,599
When Derek Powell killed himself,
what did he say to you?

676
00:41:16,850 --> 00:41:17,850
That he was already dead.

677
00:41:18,185 --> 00:41:19,728
And his powers were fritzing.

678
00:41:19,812 --> 00:41:21,146
Yeah, just like Rosetti's.

679
00:41:21,689 --> 00:41:23,357
That didn't happen when I fought David.

680
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:24,775
And it didn't happen with Leslie.

681
00:41:29,822 --> 00:41:30,823
When I landed here,

682
00:41:31,365 --> 00:41:33,951
there were meteor showers
all over the world for an entire week.

683
00:41:34,702 --> 00:41:36,638
Right. Remnants of Krypton.
That's why there's Kryptonite.

684
00:41:36,662 --> 00:41:38,455
Right. Every form of Kryptonite.

685
00:41:38,539 --> 00:41:40,916
And the kind that landed here
is buried in the mines.

686
00:41:41,542 --> 00:41:43,043
Was X-Kryptonite.

687
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:45,546
So the only place in the world
that has X-Kryptonite

688
00:41:45,629 --> 00:41:47,381
is also the only place that has people

689
00:41:47,464 --> 00:41:50,467
who've been exposed to it long enough
to accept its effects.

690
00:41:50,551 --> 00:41:51,635
Like Tag Harris.

691
00:41:54,805 --> 00:41:56,616
It's not Smallville
Edge needs to build his army.

692
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:57,641
It's the people.

693
00:41:59,101 --> 00:42:01,103
[rumbling, whirring]

694
00:42:03,564 --> 00:42:04,565
What?

695
00:42:05,649 --> 00:42:06,649
It's your ELT.

696
00:42:08,861 --> 00:42:09,861
Edge.

697
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,124
[Edge] I'm glad you came.

698
00:42:23,125 --> 00:42:24,918
Everything you're doing
is going to stop.

699
00:42:25,669 --> 00:42:28,422
That's exactly what your friend
Lois Lane keeps saying to me.

700
00:42:29,465 --> 00:42:31,842
You can't make that happen
any more than she can.

701
00:42:44,354 --> 00:42:46,315
Did you really think
I'd be giving people powers

702
00:42:46,398 --> 00:42:47,608
without having them myself?

703
00:42:48,692 --> 00:42:52,112
You see, I got mine
the same time you did, Kal-El.

704
00:42:52,654 --> 00:42:55,282
- When I arrived on this planet.
- When you arrived?

705
00:42:59,369 --> 00:43:02,247
I think it's time
you learned the truth about who I am,

706
00:43:02,706 --> 00:43:03,999
and where I'm really from...

707
00:43:06,376 --> 00:43:07,376
brother.
