1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:03,514
Previously on Smallville:
2
00:00:03,746 --> 00:00:05,942
- What would make you stay?
- I'd stay for you.
3
00:00:06,207 --> 00:00:07,207
Clark.
4
00:00:07,417 --> 00:00:10,455
It's not what happened to you,
is it? It's what happened to her.
5
00:00:10,796 --> 00:00:12,594
- What was she? Your partner?
- My wife.
6
00:00:12,881 --> 00:00:14,759
Shayera and I were
cursed by our enemies.
7
00:00:15,008 --> 00:00:17,728
Destined to fall in love,
only to watch each other die.
8
00:00:18,053 --> 00:00:20,852
- We're not done.
- I will hunt you and I will find you.
9
00:00:21,183 --> 00:00:23,459
- Do you understand?
- You don't even know who I am.
10
00:00:23,727 --> 00:00:25,400
- Aah!
- Green Arrow.
11
00:00:26,105 --> 00:00:29,257
With you, he has a purpose. I
wish I could have given him that.
12
00:00:29,567 --> 00:00:33,117
And it kills me because you
have everything right in front of you.
13
00:00:34,031 --> 00:00:36,148
And you can't even see it.
14
00:00:36,451 --> 00:00:38,443
So, what do you
say, kid? Africa.
15
00:00:38,746 --> 00:00:40,260
Perry White.
16
00:00:40,497 --> 00:00:42,693
He's offered me a job at
the foreign desk in Kenya.
17
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,710
I think you leaving Metropolis is
the best thing for you right now.
18
00:01:11,868 --> 00:01:13,700
Perry, it's Lane.
19
00:01:13,954 --> 00:01:17,026
I really hope this story is worth it
because my dream assignment...
20
00:01:17,333 --> 00:01:20,212
is turning into 1001
Arabian nightmares.
21
00:01:20,504 --> 00:01:24,498
And you know what, I really hope
per diem covers the 11-hour camel ride.
22
00:01:24,841 --> 00:01:27,197
And as for this newly
unearthed tomb of Isis?
23
00:01:27,470 --> 00:01:30,224
All I see are some rocks
and a couple of tents.
24
00:01:30,515 --> 00:01:32,074
Call me.
25
00:01:39,901 --> 00:01:41,494
Hello?
26
00:01:42,738 --> 00:01:45,253
Lois Lane, Daily Planet.
27
00:02:03,346 --> 00:02:05,383
They were star-crossed lovers.
28
00:02:14,234 --> 00:02:17,466
Guess you never know
what fate has planned for you.
29
00:02:26,791 --> 00:02:29,909
Chloe, where are you?
I've left four messages.
30
00:02:30,587 --> 00:02:32,704
Jor-El warned me some
dark force is coming.
31
00:02:32,965 --> 00:02:34,001
I need your help.
32
00:02:34,216 --> 00:02:37,653
Check it out, page three.
Someone hit the big time.
33
00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:11,416
Lois?
34
00:03:12,637 --> 00:03:15,152
No, it's Catherine. But
my friends call me Cat.
35
00:03:15,432 --> 00:03:16,786
Cat Grant. With a C.
36
00:03:18,477 --> 00:03:20,355
Want a cookie? I
baked them this morning.
37
00:03:20,605 --> 00:03:23,279
Really gooey, so be
careful. I use twice the sugar.
38
00:03:23,567 --> 00:03:25,559
Heh. Um...
39
00:03:25,819 --> 00:03:28,334
No relation to the woman
on TV. I get that a lot.
40
00:03:29,782 --> 00:03:33,298
Clark Kent. Welcome
to Daily Planet.
41
00:03:34,871 --> 00:03:37,431
Can I tell you how excited I
am to be working at the Planet?
42
00:03:40,587 --> 00:03:42,738
After all those weeks
at a small-town paper...
43
00:03:43,006 --> 00:03:45,396
my words are finally
going to have a real impact.
44
00:03:46,093 --> 00:03:47,812
I'm sorry, you said weeks?
45
00:03:48,096 --> 00:03:50,531
Classic overachiever. Got
that from my granddaddy.
46
00:03:50,807 --> 00:03:54,437
Back home, I basically owned
the front page of the paper.
47
00:04:00,652 --> 00:04:03,770
Now I can finally have an
influence on millions of people.
48
00:04:05,325 --> 00:04:08,523
Hero mania? I say hero menace.
49
00:04:08,829 --> 00:04:11,389
Don't tell me these masked
anarchy-loving vigilantes...
50
00:04:11,665 --> 00:04:14,055
are out there to
protect my kids.
51
00:04:14,377 --> 00:04:15,377
Mm-hm.
52
00:04:15,587 --> 00:04:18,625
Don't tell me some abomination
who is too grotesque to show his face...
53
00:04:18,966 --> 00:04:22,357
but vandalizes our town
with the letter S is a hero.
54
00:04:22,679 --> 00:04:25,751
What's the S stand for, huh?
I'll tell you what, "Shame."
55
00:04:29,312 --> 00:04:33,545
HR doesn't allow us to listen
to the radio during work hours.
56
00:04:33,942 --> 00:04:36,662
Bummer. I'll get
you the podcast.
57
00:04:36,946 --> 00:04:40,860
- Godfrey is so right about everything.
- Let's find you a permanent desk.
58
00:04:41,201 --> 00:04:43,193
This belongs to someone
on temporary leave.
59
00:04:43,453 --> 00:04:45,206
Lois Lane? Heh.
60
00:04:45,455 --> 00:04:47,094
She's the one who
got this thing started.
61
00:04:47,333 --> 00:04:49,973
Calling those costumed
vigilantes heroes.
62
00:04:50,253 --> 00:04:54,088
Please, like it's not totally
obvious she's in love with the Blur.
63
00:05:06,063 --> 00:05:09,181
Lois Lane is the best crime
reporter this paper ever had.
64
00:05:09,485 --> 00:05:12,045
There is a desk available
over here by the copy machine.
65
00:05:12,321 --> 00:05:15,075
Whoa, wait a minute,
Mr. Busy-Boots.
66
00:05:15,366 --> 00:05:18,598
I don't think you get
it. I'm your new partner.
67
00:06:37,298 --> 00:06:38,971
I got your message.
68
00:06:39,216 --> 00:06:42,732
I have to say, it wasn't
the call I was expecting.
69
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,194
- Chloe's gone.
- Heh.
70
00:06:45,432 --> 00:06:48,231
You've been with her five
months. Things are on schedule.
71
00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:52,752
It's not like that, she just disappeared.
No warning, no phone call, nothing.
72
00:06:53,108 --> 00:06:56,385
Trust never was the golden
rule for the kids in this clubhouse.
73
00:06:56,695 --> 00:06:58,652
You'd just fit right in,
then, wouldn't you?
74
00:06:58,906 --> 00:07:02,946
If you think I'm gonna sit around here,
do nothing and wait like Clark's doing...
75
00:07:03,328 --> 00:07:05,604
you don't know me very well at all.
- Low blow.
76
00:07:05,873 --> 00:07:08,342
I'd say Clark's using every
ounce of strength he has...
77
00:07:08,627 --> 00:07:11,347
not to skip over the
Azores and bring Lois home.
78
00:07:11,630 --> 00:07:13,144
He respects Lois enough.
79
00:07:13,423 --> 00:07:15,858
Maybe because Lois hasn't
completely disappeared.
80
00:07:16,135 --> 00:07:18,215
There's no digital record
of Chloe Sullivan anywhere.
81
00:07:24,103 --> 00:07:26,334
It's like she never existed.
82
00:07:30,235 --> 00:07:33,865
The only one who could
erase Chloe is Chloe.
83
00:07:35,408 --> 00:07:37,001
Now, Tess. Don't
underestimate yourself.
84
00:07:37,243 --> 00:07:40,839
Although, I do have to say, I
thought the e-mail was a touch much.
85
00:07:48,882 --> 00:07:52,159
"Oliver, I never thought I'd have
to tell you how I feel about us..."
86
00:07:52,470 --> 00:07:57,226
Because the smile on my lips when
I looked at you pretty much said it all.
87
00:07:57,602 --> 00:08:00,242
But now that you won't
be seeing it any more...
88
00:08:00,522 --> 00:08:03,321
I'll have to use
words to tell you.
89
00:08:03,650 --> 00:08:07,041
I've never loved anyone
the way I've loved you.
90
00:08:07,405 --> 00:08:09,556
And I never will again.
91
00:08:11,159 --> 00:08:13,037
You will always be
my brightest star.
92
00:08:14,204 --> 00:08:16,719
"My knight in shining
leather. My hero."
93
00:08:23,006 --> 00:08:28,286
Oliver, this might be difficult for
you to face, but I didn't write this.
94
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,916
We both know Chloe did.
95
00:08:39,693 --> 00:08:41,969
I did help her reset
the system, though.
96
00:08:42,864 --> 00:08:48,098
And in a bizarre way, she knew that I
was the only one who would understand.
97
00:08:49,580 --> 00:08:53,859
- Why'd she do this?
- I just know it's what she wanted.
98
00:08:55,670 --> 00:08:58,139
I trusted that she had a plan.
99
00:08:58,674 --> 00:09:00,791
Maybe it's time
you trust her too.
100
00:09:11,481 --> 00:09:14,553
And I thought those Sex and
the City girls had gaudy taste.
101
00:09:14,902 --> 00:09:17,781
You might tell that to its
owner, the goddess queen Isis.
102
00:09:18,072 --> 00:09:22,385
She spent eternity searching for the
cut-up pieces of her dead husband.
103
00:09:22,994 --> 00:09:24,030
I can relate to that.
104
00:09:24,246 --> 00:09:26,636
My relationship broke
up into a zillion tiny pieces.
105
00:09:26,916 --> 00:09:29,954
And I don't know how to
put it all back together again.
106
00:09:32,590 --> 00:09:34,980
So you're a bona
fide Indiana Jones.
107
00:09:35,259 --> 00:09:40,379
They fly you in to make sure these aren't
lifted from some souvenir shop in Cairo?
108
00:09:41,308 --> 00:09:43,618
And that they're intact
and well preserved.
109
00:09:43,894 --> 00:09:45,692
In other words, hands off.
110
00:09:47,315 --> 00:09:52,026
I know Egyptians were big on the
afterlife, but burying your pet bird?
111
00:09:52,405 --> 00:09:53,839
Someone needs therapy.
112
00:09:54,074 --> 00:09:57,033
That is the sun god, Ra,
bringer of light and life.
113
00:09:57,328 --> 00:09:58,762
He was revered.
114
00:09:59,037 --> 00:10:02,826
- He has the head of a parakeet.
- It's a falcon.
115
00:10:03,168 --> 00:10:05,160
Potato, "potato."
116
00:10:05,420 --> 00:10:08,333
So why was this
hawk guy so important?
117
00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:12,452
It's said each day he traveled
across the sky and the underworld...
118
00:10:12,762 --> 00:10:15,436
to be born again at sunrise.
119
00:10:16,683 --> 00:10:19,243
A god reborn with the sun.
120
00:10:23,942 --> 00:10:24,942
Thank you, Ati.
121
00:10:30,158 --> 00:10:33,674
I have to admit, this assignment?
A little out of my strike zone.
122
00:10:34,622 --> 00:10:37,376
I mean, I was raised by a very
grounded four-star general...
123
00:10:37,667 --> 00:10:41,661
who believed in what you
can see, touch, blow up.
124
00:10:42,047 --> 00:10:44,198
Things that can be explained.
125
00:10:44,508 --> 00:10:47,387
It's just you can
live your whole life...
126
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,673
without any proof of something
like a god or whatever...
127
00:10:52,017 --> 00:10:57,490
and then one day, you look up and
realize the guy sitting across from you...
128
00:10:58,692 --> 00:11:00,285
is Ra.
129
00:11:03,114 --> 00:11:06,551
You think the guy sitting across
from you is an ancient sun god?
130
00:11:06,910 --> 00:11:09,141
No, of course not.
131
00:11:09,997 --> 00:11:11,795
But what if he were?
132
00:11:12,708 --> 00:11:14,779
One minute you know
you know what you know...
133
00:11:15,044 --> 00:11:17,764
the next, you don't know anything
but wanna know everything.
134
00:11:18,090 --> 00:11:20,127
What is the world like for him?
135
00:11:20,384 --> 00:11:21,613
Does he feel pain?
136
00:11:21,845 --> 00:11:23,962
How does he heal?
When does he sleep?
137
00:11:24,222 --> 00:11:26,100
Does he even sleep?
138
00:11:28,019 --> 00:11:31,490
This is gonna require
something stronger than tea.
139
00:11:34,526 --> 00:11:36,836
How can he stand
driving in a car...
140
00:11:37,154 --> 00:11:39,191
when they move so
much slower than he does?
141
00:11:39,449 --> 00:11:41,327
That would drive me crazy.
142
00:11:42,870 --> 00:11:44,907
Maybe you should just ask Clark.
143
00:11:46,749 --> 00:11:48,945
Now, why don't you sit down...
144
00:11:49,878 --> 00:11:53,588
before you drive me crazy?
145
00:12:18,411 --> 00:12:19,891
Safety first.
146
00:12:51,618 --> 00:12:53,578
My granddaddy always
told me seatbelts save lives.
147
00:13:11,683 --> 00:13:14,073
Oh, my gosh, Clark.
148
00:13:15,354 --> 00:13:17,107
We almost died.
149
00:13:30,748 --> 00:13:32,660
Hi. No, no, don't
tell him that it's me.
150
00:13:32,917 --> 00:13:34,067
He'll just get upset.
151
00:13:34,336 --> 00:13:36,851
Look, I'm not gonna be able
to make the pickup tonight.
152
00:13:37,172 --> 00:13:39,607
I'll call as soon as I
can. Okay, gotta go.
153
00:13:39,884 --> 00:13:41,921
You wanna tell me what
you got caught up in?
154
00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:46,104
I mean, someone
did just try to kill you.
155
00:13:46,725 --> 00:13:48,682
Heh. I was valedictorian.
156
00:13:48,937 --> 00:13:51,771
I mean, trust me, nobody
wants to kill a valedictorian.
157
00:13:52,065 --> 00:13:54,785
Well, maybe they got you
mixed up with someone else.
158
00:13:55,069 --> 00:13:58,221
Would you listen to yourself? You
sound an awful lot like Lois Lane.
159
00:13:58,573 --> 00:14:02,772
A conspiracy around every corner,
always railing against the normal people.
160
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,158
- Normal?
- Like you and me.
161
00:14:06,457 --> 00:14:07,652
It must've been hard...
162
00:14:07,917 --> 00:14:11,627
listening to Lois' justifications for
these alternative values and lifestyles.
163
00:14:11,964 --> 00:14:13,239
Lifestyles?
164
00:14:13,466 --> 00:14:16,379
Heh. Oh, don't act like some
good, corn-fed boy next door...
165
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,350
like he was gonna tell me these
vigilantes are part of the natural plan.
166
00:14:20,725 --> 00:14:24,002
It'd be one thing if they actually
had remorse or wanted to change.
167
00:14:24,312 --> 00:14:25,746
But they have no moral center.
168
00:14:25,980 --> 00:14:28,051
Easy to say when they
can't defend themselves.
169
00:14:28,316 --> 00:14:32,026
They can. They could come out
into the light so we could see them.
170
00:14:32,363 --> 00:14:34,798
They just choose not to.
171
00:14:35,117 --> 00:14:36,233
You know, Godfrey says...
172
00:14:36,451 --> 00:14:39,683
Look, stop. I found something.
173
00:14:41,457 --> 00:14:44,017
The police found a
bullet in the engine block.
174
00:14:44,544 --> 00:14:46,183
Oh, my God.
175
00:14:47,798 --> 00:14:49,357
Why would anyone wanna kill me?
176
00:14:51,052 --> 00:14:52,611
We should get you
some place safe.
177
00:14:52,887 --> 00:14:55,197
My friends won't mind if
you stay at their apartment.
178
00:14:55,474 --> 00:14:57,227
No one'll be looking
for you in Smallville.
179
00:15:38,566 --> 00:15:40,319
Don't move.
180
00:15:40,736 --> 00:15:41,896
My self-defense teacher said:
181
00:15:42,071 --> 00:15:44,142
"Never stop moving
unless you're dead."
182
00:15:45,117 --> 00:15:47,348
Oh, my gosh. It's you.
183
00:16:01,594 --> 00:16:02,914
Oh, just get it over with.
184
00:16:03,137 --> 00:16:06,767
I should've known you creeps were
following me after your bomb backfired.
185
00:16:07,101 --> 00:16:09,900
You call yourself a hero, but
you're just an arrow for hire.
186
00:16:10,229 --> 00:16:12,664
Trust me, I'm not
doing this for the money.
187
00:16:16,154 --> 00:16:19,511
Face it, Robin Hood, you and your
boys do this for no one but yourselves.
188
00:16:19,866 --> 00:16:21,095
I'm not a criminal, lady.
189
00:16:21,368 --> 00:16:22,768
Yeah, that's what they all say.
190
00:16:22,995 --> 00:16:26,386
But I've got eyewitness
testimony and photos to back it up...
191
00:16:26,750 --> 00:16:30,744
that a group of you have been torturing
people by the brewery at the docks.
192
00:16:31,463 --> 00:16:33,295
- Unh.
- Give me that.
193
00:16:42,351 --> 00:16:45,788
See? This is exactly
what I'm talking about.
194
00:16:59,163 --> 00:17:01,234
All you had to do was ask.
195
00:17:01,499 --> 00:17:04,378
Cat Grant isn't
who she says she is.
196
00:17:04,669 --> 00:17:07,264
I knew you two would
have a lot in common.
197
00:17:07,589 --> 00:17:09,387
Her real name is
Mary Louise Shroger.
198
00:17:09,634 --> 00:17:11,466
That's not the only
secret she's keeping.
199
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,236
Face it, Clark, you're not gonna
like anyone sitting in Lois' chair.
200
00:17:15,558 --> 00:17:19,108
Why don't you take a coffee break,
run to the Sahara, and bring her back?
201
00:17:19,479 --> 00:17:22,870
Lois left for a reason. If I
care for her, I'll respect that.
202
00:17:23,192 --> 00:17:24,990
How progressive of you.
203
00:17:25,235 --> 00:17:26,635
If you really believe it.
204
00:17:28,364 --> 00:17:31,004
Look, the point is, something
weird is going on with Cat.
205
00:17:32,035 --> 00:17:34,106
She's making
suspicious phone calls.
206
00:17:34,371 --> 00:17:37,205
And this morning, she
almost got blown up in her car.
207
00:17:37,501 --> 00:17:39,299
The explosion was
caused by a bullet...
208
00:17:39,544 --> 00:17:41,740
lodged perfectly in the
combustion chamber.
209
00:17:42,047 --> 00:17:43,447
It's engraved.
210
00:17:43,674 --> 00:17:46,348
The only letters
visible are A-R-N-T.
211
00:17:49,723 --> 00:17:51,760
Cat Grant.
212
00:17:53,895 --> 00:17:56,012
I think I've seen
this work before.
213
00:17:57,023 --> 00:17:58,980
Let's hope I'm wrong.
214
00:17:59,860 --> 00:18:00,860
You know who did this?
215
00:18:01,070 --> 00:18:03,983
If it's the op I'm thinking of, it
was a top target of Checkmate.
216
00:18:04,282 --> 00:18:07,002
One of the few they never got and
one of the even fewer they feared.
217
00:18:09,872 --> 00:18:14,025
I see why. Number three on Interpol's
most wanted, top five on FBI and CIA.
218
00:18:14,377 --> 00:18:17,609
Strikes targets with
surgical precision...
219
00:18:17,923 --> 00:18:19,994
and assassinates all witnesses.
220
00:18:20,259 --> 00:18:21,409
What's his name?
221
00:18:21,636 --> 00:18:23,673
Checkmate never could ID him.
222
00:18:23,930 --> 00:18:27,002
They just called him Deadshot.
223
00:18:34,693 --> 00:18:37,003
You failed to mention...
224
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,714
what exactly I was dealing with.
225
00:18:38,948 --> 00:18:41,986
I don't make it a practice of
letting my targets walk away.
226
00:18:42,327 --> 00:18:44,080
That was just a test.
227
00:18:44,330 --> 00:18:46,526
Had to make sure we
were after the right guy.
228
00:18:46,791 --> 00:18:48,828
You should've told me.
229
00:18:49,085 --> 00:18:51,554
I thought we were supposed
to be on the same team.
230
00:18:51,838 --> 00:18:54,034
You should be thanking me.
231
00:18:54,300 --> 00:18:56,974
I just handed you
the hit of a lifetime.
232
00:18:57,763 --> 00:19:01,439
Why would I thank you for
something fate gave me?
233
00:19:08,150 --> 00:19:12,986
Somewhere out there, we all
got a bullet with our name on it.
234
00:19:43,776 --> 00:19:45,369
Clark.
235
00:19:45,611 --> 00:19:47,842
I thought you were one
of those so-called heroes.
236
00:19:48,114 --> 00:19:49,628
Thank God it's only you.
237
00:19:49,866 --> 00:19:53,143
You know, you should really get
yourself a bulletproof vest like me.
238
00:19:53,454 --> 00:19:55,252
We all think we're
made of steel...
239
00:19:55,498 --> 00:19:57,251
but we're just made
of marshmallows.
240
00:19:57,500 --> 00:19:58,934
Cat, are you all right?
241
00:20:01,005 --> 00:20:03,076
Well, I was just
attacked by Green Arrow.
242
00:20:03,799 --> 00:20:06,075
I mean, this is all part
of that vigilante agenda.
243
00:20:07,554 --> 00:20:09,113
And why would he wanna hurt you?
244
00:20:09,347 --> 00:20:12,226
The last thing they want is an
Honest Abe reporter like me...
245
00:20:12,518 --> 00:20:15,192
working at the Planet,
exposing the truth about them.
246
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,279
If you're really about the truth,
then why did you lie to me?
247
00:20:18,567 --> 00:20:21,162
You seem to be hiding a
few secrets of your own.
248
00:20:25,033 --> 00:20:26,626
No idea what
you're talking about.
249
00:20:26,868 --> 00:20:28,939
Why did you change your name?
250
00:20:42,804 --> 00:20:45,603
That's Adam, my son.
251
00:20:45,891 --> 00:20:48,281
He's with his grandparents
until this all blows over.
252
00:20:48,561 --> 00:20:51,759
His dad and I went
out for almost two years.
253
00:20:52,065 --> 00:20:54,261
I thought I'd found
my Prince Charming.
254
00:20:54,527 --> 00:20:56,644
Little did I know,
they don't exist.
255
00:21:01,368 --> 00:21:03,724
You just have to be patient.
256
00:21:06,582 --> 00:21:09,142
I thought I'd found somebody
who could make me happy.
257
00:21:09,461 --> 00:21:12,101
Really? You think
you'll get back together?
258
00:21:15,093 --> 00:21:16,846
I used to.
259
00:21:19,431 --> 00:21:21,184
But now I'm not sure.
260
00:21:21,475 --> 00:21:22,511
Oh.
261
00:21:22,726 --> 00:21:25,525
It's funny, when doing what
you think is right for someone...
262
00:21:25,856 --> 00:21:30,294
it can feel so wrong.
263
00:21:32,781 --> 00:21:34,295
How about you and this guy?
264
00:21:36,118 --> 00:21:39,509
Well, Clark, not every
guy is as nice as you.
265
00:21:40,372 --> 00:21:43,012
I had to get Adam away from him.
266
00:21:43,627 --> 00:21:45,300
I'm sorry.
267
00:21:45,963 --> 00:21:47,875
Does he know where you are?
268
00:21:51,803 --> 00:21:54,682
I changed my name
so he couldn't find us.
269
00:21:55,599 --> 00:21:57,716
You know, I had so
much I was fighting for.
270
00:21:57,977 --> 00:21:59,934
Trying to change the world.
271
00:22:00,230 --> 00:22:03,143
Now I have to hide behind the
power of the pen and a new name.
272
00:22:03,442 --> 00:22:06,833
Making sure nobody knows
who's behind the words I'm printing.
273
00:22:07,530 --> 00:22:09,408
Kind of like the vigilantes.
274
00:22:15,165 --> 00:22:17,521
Must have been scary
escaping from him.
275
00:22:17,793 --> 00:22:20,706
All I know is I
protected my son.
276
00:22:21,797 --> 00:22:24,835
You know, the world may
never see me as some big hero.
277
00:22:28,430 --> 00:22:30,945
But maybe someday my son will.
278
00:22:38,692 --> 00:22:40,285
I have to go.
279
00:22:40,986 --> 00:22:43,785
What about Green Arrow and
those freaks who tried to blow me up?
280
00:22:44,073 --> 00:22:46,383
- They know where I am.
- Stay here, you'll be safe.
281
00:22:46,660 --> 00:22:48,652
I'll be back, I promise.
282
00:22:58,215 --> 00:23:00,775
It feels like somehow I was
destined to be with Clark...
283
00:23:01,052 --> 00:23:03,283
but his destiny
is so much bigger.
284
00:23:03,555 --> 00:23:07,231
The last thing that I would ever want is
be the one thing that holds him back...
285
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:08,676
or stands in the way.
286
00:23:08,895 --> 00:23:10,170
What if you're the thing...
287
00:23:10,397 --> 00:23:12,957
that might help him be the
person you know he can be?
288
00:23:13,233 --> 00:23:16,271
What if you're the one who
makes his burden easier to bear?
289
00:23:17,238 --> 00:23:19,628
Do you think that's
why he sent you?
290
00:23:20,242 --> 00:23:22,279
To make sure I was safe?
291
00:23:22,786 --> 00:23:24,300
He worries about you.
292
00:23:25,540 --> 00:23:27,975
He still thinks you don't
know about his powers.
293
00:23:28,627 --> 00:23:32,257
See, that's another
reason for me to be here.
294
00:23:33,299 --> 00:23:35,689
When it comes to secrets,
I'm not exactly Mata Hari.
295
00:23:36,011 --> 00:23:37,445
I could blow it all for him.
296
00:23:38,764 --> 00:23:42,644
With every great relationship,
Lois, comes a great burden.
297
00:23:44,771 --> 00:23:46,683
And the strength to carry it.
298
00:23:49,819 --> 00:23:50,855
Okay.
299
00:23:51,070 --> 00:23:54,780
Well, I better get
my beauty sleep.
300
00:23:57,411 --> 00:23:58,845
All this dry heat.
301
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,594
Lois.
302
00:24:03,043 --> 00:24:05,353
I'd like you to have something.
303
00:24:09,091 --> 00:24:11,162
It was given to me by my wife.
304
00:24:11,803 --> 00:24:15,433
It's a story about two
star-crossed lovers.
305
00:24:15,766 --> 00:24:19,806
Prince Khufu and Shayera
were murdered by an evil man.
306
00:24:20,981 --> 00:24:24,816
But their love was so strong,
they were bonded for all eternity.
307
00:24:25,986 --> 00:24:31,618
Lifetime after lifetime, they were
reborn to find their one true love...
308
00:24:33,662 --> 00:24:36,655
only to lose each
other in death again.
309
00:24:39,961 --> 00:24:42,396
That's a terrible story.
310
00:24:44,342 --> 00:24:45,617
I like it.
311
00:24:46,844 --> 00:24:50,042
If you're into the whole
Egyptian Groundhog Day thing.
312
00:24:50,390 --> 00:24:55,021
After many years, Khufu grew tired
of always waiting to find his beloved.
313
00:24:56,356 --> 00:24:58,473
So he traveled the world...
314
00:24:58,734 --> 00:25:03,331
seeking other women,
trying to forget Shayera.
315
00:25:06,535 --> 00:25:10,734
Unable to rid her from his heart, he
returned home, resigned to his fate.
316
00:25:12,208 --> 00:25:17,488
No sooner did he arrive at
the palace when he saw her.
317
00:25:22,679 --> 00:25:23,829
She was there all along...
318
00:25:24,056 --> 00:25:27,413
but he didn't recognize her
because the time wasn't right.
319
00:25:31,649 --> 00:25:33,481
He needed to wait...
320
00:25:34,944 --> 00:25:37,459
because it made
their love stronger.
321
00:25:42,578 --> 00:25:44,297
And their kiss
that much sweeter.
322
00:25:51,380 --> 00:25:54,930
Try that again and the next thing
kissing your lips will be my fist.
323
00:26:03,936 --> 00:26:07,452
I had LuthorCorp's people up all night
taking apart that slug from Cat's car.
324
00:26:07,774 --> 00:26:09,413
I appreciate that. Thanks.
325
00:26:09,694 --> 00:26:12,004
I'm not asking for
your thanks, Clark.
326
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,078
Just your trust.
327
00:26:14,324 --> 00:26:17,556
- You need me.
- You said this was urgent.
328
00:26:18,954 --> 00:26:22,470
After the lab techs pulled apart
the bullet and reassembled it...
329
00:26:22,792 --> 00:26:24,704
they found this.
330
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,040
The target is me.
331
00:26:33,263 --> 00:26:35,823
Guess our assassin
never was after Hello Kitty.
332
00:26:38,936 --> 00:26:42,054
This guy doesn't know that car
explosions and bullets don't hurt me.
333
00:26:42,357 --> 00:26:45,395
It's possible he was just testing
you, to see what you're made of.
334
00:26:45,737 --> 00:26:47,296
Why hasn't he
come after me again?
335
00:26:47,530 --> 00:26:49,840
Maybe he didn't realize how
difficult of a target you are.
336
00:26:50,116 --> 00:26:53,996
This guy never gives up,
and he gets every detail right.
337
00:26:54,330 --> 00:26:55,764
There must be more to his plan.
338
00:26:56,041 --> 00:26:58,112
If he knows you're
faster than his bullets...
339
00:26:58,377 --> 00:27:01,973
the only place to aim is at
someone he knows you'll save...
340
00:27:02,298 --> 00:27:04,893
and maybe you'll be there to...
341
00:27:05,176 --> 00:27:07,168
Act as a shield.
342
00:27:07,762 --> 00:27:09,481
It's Cat. I have to
get back to Smallville.
343
00:27:11,016 --> 00:27:12,450
Too late.
344
00:27:12,685 --> 00:27:15,564
Our kitten reporter is
already on the move.
345
00:27:23,031 --> 00:27:24,829
Pack up Adam's things
and have him ready.
346
00:27:25,075 --> 00:27:26,795
Someone's after me and
he may know about us.
347
00:27:27,036 --> 00:27:29,392
I liked you better as a blond.
348
00:27:54,694 --> 00:27:56,253
Why are you doing this to me?
349
00:27:56,487 --> 00:27:57,921
I didn't do anything.
350
00:27:58,156 --> 00:28:01,547
Funny thing about
fate, you can't outrun it.
351
00:28:05,665 --> 00:28:09,022
Either it's your day
or it's not, sweet pea.
352
00:28:10,004 --> 00:28:11,643
Please, no.
353
00:28:12,298 --> 00:28:13,937
My son...
354
00:28:14,884 --> 00:28:17,080
he's just 2 years old.
355
00:28:18,513 --> 00:28:19,663
I'm all he's got.
356
00:28:19,932 --> 00:28:21,491
Trust me...
357
00:28:22,310 --> 00:28:24,142
he'll get over you.
358
00:28:24,604 --> 00:28:27,403
Three or four years, he won't
even remember your face.
359
00:28:28,442 --> 00:28:31,321
People about to die always
think that that special loved one...
360
00:28:31,612 --> 00:28:34,172
won't be able to
go on without them.
361
00:28:34,450 --> 00:28:36,521
But the truth is...
362
00:28:36,827 --> 00:28:39,979
that person will just find
someone else to love.
363
00:28:40,331 --> 00:28:42,641
Everyone is replaceable.
364
00:28:42,959 --> 00:28:47,909
I used to think everyone could be
saved, even those superhero freaks.
365
00:28:48,341 --> 00:28:52,893
But now I realize some
people are just born dead.
366
00:29:11,535 --> 00:29:13,492
- Aah!
- Hey.
367
00:30:25,832 --> 00:30:27,266
Clark?
368
00:30:28,335 --> 00:30:29,689
That was so brave.
369
00:30:31,505 --> 00:30:33,144
Are you okay?
370
00:30:35,885 --> 00:30:37,638
I'm fine.
371
00:30:38,472 --> 00:30:40,987
Thanks to my bulletproof vest.
372
00:30:43,061 --> 00:30:45,098
Don't leave home
without it, Clark Kent.
373
00:30:45,355 --> 00:30:47,426
You can never be too safe.
374
00:30:47,692 --> 00:30:49,285
Well, I'll be sure
to pick one up.
375
00:30:49,527 --> 00:30:53,043
See, I don't need a
masked hero to rescue me.
376
00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:57,931
I've got a real
flesh-and-blood one right here.
377
00:31:01,041 --> 00:31:04,000
People need to see someone's
heart to believe in them.
378
00:31:06,004 --> 00:31:09,281
We need to be inspired by
people who stand out in the light...
379
00:31:09,592 --> 00:31:12,903
not people who shrink
into the shadows.
380
00:31:13,221 --> 00:31:16,100
We need a good old American
hero in red, white and blue.
381
00:31:20,146 --> 00:31:22,297
Or at least red and blue.
382
00:32:23,305 --> 00:32:25,058
Did you miss me?
383
00:32:25,308 --> 00:32:28,028
You know, I got to say,
we had something special.
384
00:32:28,311 --> 00:32:31,463
You didn't crack on the first
beating, you made me work for it.
385
00:32:32,024 --> 00:32:33,544
Well, I'm glad it
was good for you too.
386
00:32:35,403 --> 00:32:38,043
Take it easy there, commando.
387
00:32:38,824 --> 00:32:41,134
I'm just a guy over here
with a bow and arrow.
388
00:32:41,410 --> 00:32:43,129
You're wasting
your talent, Queen.
389
00:32:43,413 --> 00:32:46,292
You could make a
real difference out there.
390
00:32:46,625 --> 00:32:48,344
The tide is turning.
391
00:32:48,627 --> 00:32:52,223
People are getting nervous about
vigilantes roaming the streets...
392
00:32:52,548 --> 00:32:56,224
taking the decisions and the glory
out of the hands of the suits in power.
393
00:32:56,553 --> 00:32:59,148
I'm not running for office.
I'm putting bad guys in jail.
394
00:32:59,431 --> 00:33:01,991
It's gonna get tougher the
longer you and your league...
395
00:33:02,268 --> 00:33:03,588
stay half in, half out.
396
00:33:04,229 --> 00:33:06,585
That's the beauty of my group.
397
00:33:06,857 --> 00:33:08,655
Everybody thinks we're dead.
398
00:33:11,863 --> 00:33:14,094
We could use you.
399
00:33:14,366 --> 00:33:16,278
But this is your
one and only offer.
400
00:33:17,662 --> 00:33:19,142
You raise a good point.
401
00:33:27,757 --> 00:33:29,635
On the other hand,
you did just shoot me.
402
00:33:35,099 --> 00:33:38,456
Where's Chloe
Sullivan? Where is she?
403
00:33:39,855 --> 00:33:40,855
I'm sorry.
404
00:33:42,274 --> 00:33:43,274
I can't hear you.
405
00:33:43,484 --> 00:33:47,239
Where is Chloe Sullivan?
406
00:33:50,951 --> 00:33:54,581
It wasn't a kidnapping.
It was a trade.
407
00:33:57,668 --> 00:34:00,820
- Trade for what?
- You. Heh.
408
00:34:01,755 --> 00:34:06,147
You would've been proud
of her. She didn't crack.
409
00:34:06,511 --> 00:34:09,185
She downed a cyanide
pill just to save your life.
410
00:34:11,726 --> 00:34:12,955
She's dead.
411
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,353
Oliver.
412
00:34:47,018 --> 00:34:50,216
Chloe is, uh, gone.
413
00:34:50,523 --> 00:34:52,003
What do you mean?
414
00:34:52,232 --> 00:34:55,862
Those people who were holding
me at that old brewery, she...
415
00:34:56,196 --> 00:34:58,711
She traded herself
in so I could be free.
416
00:35:01,869 --> 00:35:04,862
Who are these people?
What do they want with Chloe?
417
00:35:05,164 --> 00:35:08,077
Just a group of people that
call themselves crime fighters.
418
00:35:08,418 --> 00:35:11,570
They think we should all
remain hidden in the shadows.
419
00:35:13,716 --> 00:35:16,436
They tried to
torture her, Clark.
420
00:35:17,596 --> 00:35:21,112
But she beat them at their own
game. She took a cyanide pill.
421
00:35:21,851 --> 00:35:24,605
- No, Chloe wouldn't...
- And then she took this.
422
00:35:25,523 --> 00:35:27,879
I found that at her
apartment, had it tested...
423
00:35:28,192 --> 00:35:32,789
and there's traces of a
cyanide antidote in there.
424
00:35:35,993 --> 00:35:37,666
She faked her own death.
425
00:35:42,876 --> 00:35:45,152
She was planning to go.
426
00:35:46,422 --> 00:35:48,812
She saw the future.
427
00:35:49,551 --> 00:35:52,350
She put on Dr. Fate's
helmet trying to find you...
428
00:35:52,638 --> 00:35:54,630
and said it was gonna be okay.
429
00:35:54,932 --> 00:35:56,730
You just let her go?
430
00:35:57,018 --> 00:35:58,532
I had no idea she was leaving.
431
00:35:58,812 --> 00:36:01,202
She put on the Fate helmet.
That should've told you.
432
00:36:01,481 --> 00:36:03,234
I understand how
much she means to you.
433
00:36:03,484 --> 00:36:05,874
But she's been asking
us to treat her as one of us.
434
00:36:06,154 --> 00:36:10,307
She begged me to trust her
and the decisions that she made.
435
00:36:10,659 --> 00:36:13,857
If she put this much thought in
leaving, she knew what she was doing.
436
00:36:14,164 --> 00:36:17,043
I go out, I protect unfamiliar
faces so they can go home...
437
00:36:17,334 --> 00:36:19,246
and be with the
people they care about.
438
00:36:19,503 --> 00:36:22,541
And the one person that I should
have been protecting the most...
439
00:36:27,179 --> 00:36:28,374
I failed her.
440
00:36:29,015 --> 00:36:31,894
We didn't choose this. We know
this is what we were born to do.
441
00:36:32,185 --> 00:36:34,984
Playing the fate card? Is that
what gets you through the day?
442
00:36:35,272 --> 00:36:37,423
You do nothing while
these people we protect...
443
00:36:37,691 --> 00:36:39,603
they paint us as
vigilantes, Clark.
444
00:36:39,860 --> 00:36:41,897
The woman that
you love ran away.
445
00:36:42,197 --> 00:36:44,712
You think I don't wanna
get Lois and bring her back?
446
00:36:45,868 --> 00:36:48,463
They left us, Oliver.
447
00:36:49,497 --> 00:36:51,375
With our lives, we
can't blame them.
448
00:36:53,169 --> 00:36:55,479
Well, what if we hadn't
remained hidden?
449
00:36:56,923 --> 00:36:57,993
Huh?
450
00:36:58,216 --> 00:37:01,892
What if we didn't put our identities
out there to be held hostage?
451
00:37:02,221 --> 00:37:03,894
Would this still be happening?
452
00:37:05,558 --> 00:37:08,676
Clark, I think we have
to forge a new fate here.
453
00:37:09,020 --> 00:37:11,216
We've lost way too much.
454
00:37:14,319 --> 00:37:16,311
Something's gotta change.
455
00:37:39,723 --> 00:37:41,954
Not even a hello?
456
00:37:43,019 --> 00:37:47,252
Rotting in jail ain't my
idea of a good time.
457
00:37:49,778 --> 00:37:51,451
Your draw.
458
00:37:57,077 --> 00:37:58,830
You nailed your target.
459
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:00,958
Now let's get you out of here.
460
00:38:08,049 --> 00:38:09,324
About time.
461
00:38:09,551 --> 00:38:12,191
- I'm sorry, what's redneck for "bite me"?
- Plastique.
462
00:38:12,471 --> 00:38:16,465
Sir, our costumed counterparts
are officially tagged and released.
463
00:38:16,810 --> 00:38:18,847
As soon as we spring
Wyatt Earp over here...
464
00:38:19,104 --> 00:38:21,221
we can track their every move.
465
00:38:21,481 --> 00:38:25,998
Let's give these boys a taste of what
it's like to mess with the Suicide Squad.
466
00:38:30,492 --> 00:38:32,211
Lois.
467
00:38:33,454 --> 00:38:35,047
About last night, I'm sorry.
468
00:38:35,290 --> 00:38:38,806
I guess I got a little too
caught up in my story.
469
00:38:39,127 --> 00:38:41,801
You forgot to mention
the most important part.
470
00:38:42,715 --> 00:38:44,434
It was an autobiography.
471
00:38:46,344 --> 00:38:48,301
I found this in the book.
472
00:38:57,149 --> 00:39:01,746
- Lois, surely you don't think that...?
- Let's just say I wasn't born yesterday.
473
00:39:02,113 --> 00:39:06,869
You're not the only one of Clark's
friends with a mysterious past.
474
00:39:07,286 --> 00:39:10,802
Clark did say you were
wise beyond your years.
475
00:39:12,501 --> 00:39:15,812
I hope last night will
remain between us.
476
00:39:16,130 --> 00:39:19,567
I'm not sure Clark would
forgive me if he knew.
477
00:39:19,885 --> 00:39:23,037
Some leads are
better left buried.
478
00:39:23,890 --> 00:39:27,884
If you were here to babysit as a
favor, what was with the heart-to-heart?
479
00:39:28,269 --> 00:39:33,105
Something tells me that story time
wasn't exactly part of the agreement.
480
00:39:33,484 --> 00:39:36,283
It's my wife.
481
00:39:36,905 --> 00:39:40,535
I've been hearing her in my thoughts.
And last night, I had a vision of her.
482
00:39:40,868 --> 00:39:44,908
When that happens, I know I'll
be joining her soon in a new life.
483
00:39:45,290 --> 00:39:49,045
But to do that, I must
first leave this one.
484
00:39:49,378 --> 00:39:51,131
Leave.
485
00:39:51,589 --> 00:39:53,308
Like die?
486
00:39:53,591 --> 00:39:56,663
It's time I meet
my destiny, Lois.
487
00:39:58,180 --> 00:40:01,491
But before I go, I
wanted you to meet yours.
488
00:40:02,853 --> 00:40:05,288
He can't do it without you.
489
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,557
You're his Shayera.
490
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:14,435
Carter, I am not like you
and Shayera and Clark.
491
00:40:17,536 --> 00:40:20,415
My future is here in Africa.
492
00:40:22,459 --> 00:40:27,056
Nietzsche believed we shouldn't
live for the future, but for the present.
493
00:40:28,049 --> 00:40:31,167
He thought that people who chased
after some far-off future dream...
494
00:40:31,469 --> 00:40:34,348
were really running away
from their true destiny.
495
00:40:35,266 --> 00:40:37,701
Well, Nietzsche can call
me a chicken if he wants.
496
00:40:37,978 --> 00:40:40,209
But he has never dated
someone like Clark Kent.
497
00:40:40,522 --> 00:40:42,081
It wouldn't have mattered.
498
00:40:42,357 --> 00:40:45,156
To him, the true hero was the
person who embraced the life...
499
00:40:45,445 --> 00:40:48,597
that he or she was
given and made it better.
500
00:40:48,908 --> 00:40:51,662
He called that
person Übermensch.
501
00:40:54,915 --> 00:40:56,986
A superman.
502
00:40:57,292 --> 00:41:00,046
Nietzsche believed that
all of us could be one.
503
00:41:01,297 --> 00:41:02,651
In our own way.
