1
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,518
- Tess.
- Yeah.
2
00:00:18,770 --> 00:00:21,046
You've been taking spin
classes, and not in the gym.
3
00:00:21,319 --> 00:00:24,790
- What are you talking about, Lois?
- Censorship.
4
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:29,272
I write an article against the VRA
and you turn it into venom for vigilantes.
5
00:00:33,013 --> 00:00:35,482
I didn't approve this article.
6
00:00:36,690 --> 00:00:38,568
I didn't approve
any of these articles.
7
00:00:38,820 --> 00:00:42,370
Well, if you didn't green-light
this garbage, who did?
8
00:00:42,705 --> 00:00:46,176
You know, I have better things
to do than deal with your mess.
9
00:00:53,063 --> 00:00:54,338
Excuse me.
10
00:00:56,571 --> 00:00:57,687
Tess.
11
00:00:59,075 --> 00:01:00,987
Lionel Luthor.
12
00:01:03,753 --> 00:01:07,827
- I thought...
- Yes, well, rumors of my death...
13
00:01:09,476 --> 00:01:11,991
have been greatly exaggerated.
14
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,513
What?
15
00:02:15,137 --> 00:02:18,653
You got a hug for
your long-lost daddy?
16
00:02:19,355 --> 00:02:20,869
No?
17
00:02:23,155 --> 00:02:27,468
Clark told me about this other
Earth. You're from there, aren't you?
18
00:02:27,834 --> 00:02:31,430
It doesn't matter where I'm
from, Lutessa. I am still your father.
19
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,150
And as far as this
trusting world believes...
20
00:02:34,433 --> 00:02:38,109
the same man who
successfully faked his own death.
21
00:02:39,153 --> 00:02:41,987
Which also makes you the
same man who abandoned me.
22
00:02:43,162 --> 00:02:45,757
Interesting, because
in my world...
23
00:02:46,045 --> 00:02:48,116
you're the one who
turned your back on me.
24
00:02:48,384 --> 00:02:50,944
- I'm sure I had my reasons.
- Oh, you did.
25
00:02:51,474 --> 00:02:53,750
I neglected you, Lutessa.
26
00:02:54,314 --> 00:02:55,987
But I won't make
that mistake again.
27
00:02:56,235 --> 00:02:58,511
Clark opened the
door between worlds...
28
00:02:58,825 --> 00:03:03,138
and that's given me a second
chance to put things right between us...
29
00:03:03,503 --> 00:03:05,301
to be the father
you always wanted.
30
00:03:13,862 --> 00:03:16,013
What exactly do
you want, Lionel?
31
00:03:17,413 --> 00:03:20,008
To provide for my family.
32
00:03:20,295 --> 00:03:23,129
For you and for your brother.
33
00:03:23,721 --> 00:03:29,035
I was a fool. I turned my back on
you for someone who betrayed me.
34
00:03:31,657 --> 00:03:34,217
Well, Clark was never
yours in this world.
35
00:03:34,497 --> 00:03:36,090
And Lex is dead.
36
00:03:37,128 --> 00:03:40,200
That is a lie, Tess.
37
00:03:40,512 --> 00:03:42,344
You saved Lex.
38
00:03:44,644 --> 00:03:47,523
And now he's out there
alone somewhere...
39
00:03:47,819 --> 00:03:50,175
because you discarded him.
40
00:03:51,578 --> 00:03:56,812
And you know the crippling scars
that that can leave on a child, Lutessa.
41
00:04:02,940 --> 00:04:03,940
Where is he?
42
00:04:07,784 --> 00:04:08,979
Tell me now.
43
00:04:14,050 --> 00:04:17,885
I don't know, but I'm gonna
find him before you do.
44
00:04:18,226 --> 00:04:20,183
The boy doesn't need you.
45
00:04:20,441 --> 00:04:21,795
He needs his father.
46
00:04:45,669 --> 00:04:48,468
And they say being a wanted
man's supposed to be a bad thing.
47
00:04:55,109 --> 00:04:56,748
- Were you peeking at your...?
- I...
48
00:04:56,988 --> 00:04:57,448
Okay.
49
00:04:57,460 --> 00:05:00,425
Uh, just a peek, just
a really quick peek.
50
00:05:00,748 --> 00:05:03,741
The government may have
framed me, but it'd truly be criminal...
51
00:05:04,045 --> 00:05:06,719
to keep you from checking
up on the world, wouldn't it?
52
00:05:07,011 --> 00:05:09,207
And while you do that, I'm
going to, uh, take a walk.
53
00:05:09,475 --> 00:05:10,989
I'm gonna stretch my legs out.
54
00:05:11,230 --> 00:05:14,428
Oliver? Your stretching yesterday
led to you stopping two muggings...
55
00:05:14,739 --> 00:05:17,334
and a very public bank robbery.
- That's right.
56
00:05:17,913 --> 00:05:18,913
I wore the hoodie.
57
00:05:19,166 --> 00:05:22,159
And if you get caught, you're
gonna be wearing prison orange...
58
00:05:22,466 --> 00:05:24,856
which is not the
best color on you.
59
00:05:25,181 --> 00:05:29,300
Hey, I just got you back. I
don't wanna lose you again.
60
00:05:29,649 --> 00:05:31,242
We take you there now, live.
61
00:05:31,488 --> 00:05:34,959
Vote down the VRA!
Vote down the VRA!
62
00:05:35,288 --> 00:05:36,563
What is going on?
63
00:05:36,793 --> 00:05:41,151
America votes on whether
or not to overturn the VRA!
64
00:05:43,476 --> 00:05:47,436
Our heroes need our
help now more than ever.
65
00:05:49,241 --> 00:05:52,393
- Pro-hero rally? Okay.
- Vote down the VRA!
66
00:05:56,006 --> 00:05:57,565
Lois?
67
00:05:59,139 --> 00:06:00,619
Lois?
68
00:06:01,896 --> 00:06:03,774
Lois, I'm home.
69
00:06:06,908 --> 00:06:08,103
Hi, Clark.
70
00:06:08,787 --> 00:06:12,258
Newspaper is the way to spread the
word, but you can't beat door to door...
71
00:06:12,588 --> 00:06:13,783
for the personal touch.
72
00:06:14,008 --> 00:06:16,762
I just single-handedly swayed
30 more votes in our favor.
73
00:06:17,057 --> 00:06:20,016
I love your enthusiasm, but I
don't have much time for politics.
74
00:06:20,316 --> 00:06:21,909
Do you have time for your mom?
75
00:06:22,153 --> 00:06:25,908
Because a certain senator has been
working overtime to overturn the VRA.
76
00:06:26,998 --> 00:06:29,308
Her campaigning has
raised enough hero support...
77
00:06:29,587 --> 00:06:31,419
to force a national vote.
78
00:06:31,675 --> 00:06:34,065
And I appreciate
everything that she's done...
79
00:06:34,349 --> 00:06:36,580
but, Lois, the vote's tomorrow.
80
00:06:36,855 --> 00:06:39,927
Don't give up on the game when
there are seconds left on the clock.
81
00:06:40,238 --> 00:06:43,436
I'm still out there saving people
whether they want me around or not.
82
00:06:43,747 --> 00:06:45,784
You need to see something.
83
00:06:48,675 --> 00:06:52,066
A motorcade has pulled
up behind the podium.
84
00:06:52,393 --> 00:06:55,147
It looks like the keynote
speaker has arrived.
85
00:06:55,442 --> 00:06:57,320
A major opponent of the VRA...
86
00:06:57,572 --> 00:06:59,768
You were so focused
on flying under the radar...
87
00:07:00,036 --> 00:07:02,232
that you lost sight
of the skyline.
88
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:03,650
People believe in heroes.
89
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,197
They just need something to give
them the courage to come out and fight.
90
00:07:07,513 --> 00:07:10,984
And now it is my great
honor to introduce to you...
91
00:07:11,313 --> 00:07:13,350
- She's your hero and mine.
- Or someone.
92
00:07:13,611 --> 00:07:16,683
Please welcome
Senator Martha Kent!
93
00:07:25,391 --> 00:07:27,667
These are difficult times.
94
00:07:28,523 --> 00:07:32,961
With heroes being painted as
criminals, it's easy to lose hope.
95
00:07:33,327 --> 00:07:36,843
But if we don't speak
up now, then when?
96
00:07:38,506 --> 00:07:42,136
My father always said, "Life only
asks of you what you can handle."
97
00:07:43,685 --> 00:07:45,358
Sometimes we
can't do it on our own.
98
00:07:45,607 --> 00:07:49,567
That's why we need to join
together in this crusade like a family...
99
00:07:49,907 --> 00:07:54,743
so that our united strength shines
through the darkness like a beacon...
100
00:07:55,128 --> 00:07:59,839
- inspiring others to find their voices.
- Yeah!
101
00:08:00,474 --> 00:08:03,831
None of us is born to hate.
102
00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:05,709
We're taught to.
103
00:08:06,406 --> 00:08:09,956
That's why we need heroes to
remind us that we are all meant...
104
00:08:10,291 --> 00:08:12,931
- to fight for truth and justice.
- Yeah!
105
00:08:13,214 --> 00:08:16,207
- To take a stand against fear and hate.
- Yeah!
106
00:08:16,514 --> 00:08:20,224
To go to the polls tomorrow
and vote down the VRA!
107
00:08:22,278 --> 00:08:26,830
Vote down the VRA! Vote down
the VRA! Vote down the VRA!
108
00:08:27,207 --> 00:08:29,483
- See? There's still hope.
- Vote down the VRA!
109
00:08:29,755 --> 00:08:31,474
Vote down the VRA!
110
00:08:39,152 --> 00:08:41,508
We just heard what
sounded like gunshots.
111
00:08:41,785 --> 00:08:42,980
Federal agents are now...
112
00:08:50,472 --> 00:08:52,862
- I'm her son.
- Yes, Mr. Kent.
113
00:08:57,741 --> 00:08:59,733
Thank you for
your concern, Lois.
114
00:08:59,995 --> 00:09:02,908
Oh, hold on a
second. Hi, sweetheart.
115
00:09:04,423 --> 00:09:06,540
- Mo...
- Hi.
116
00:09:07,765 --> 00:09:11,122
I know. Clark does have
a way of leaving abruptly.
117
00:09:11,438 --> 00:09:15,034
Um, I'm gonna stop by
the farm later. Bye-bye.
118
00:09:15,365 --> 00:09:16,958
- You okay?
- I'm fine.
119
00:09:17,244 --> 00:09:19,042
They convinced me to
wear a bulletproof vest.
120
00:09:19,290 --> 00:09:22,330
- The other bullet grazed my shoulder.
- You didn't tell me you were in town.
121
00:09:22,549 --> 00:09:25,462
- I could've protected you.
- I had to protect you, Clark.
122
00:09:25,765 --> 00:09:28,963
The whole state is watching. It's
not safe for you or your friends...
123
00:09:29,274 --> 00:09:31,186
to be caught in the spotlight.
124
00:09:31,446 --> 00:09:34,439
So you step in, and look what
happens, somebody shot you.
125
00:09:34,787 --> 00:09:37,780
They shot a senator to frighten
people from going to the polls.
126
00:09:38,087 --> 00:09:40,807
I have to get back out
and encourage people...
127
00:09:41,094 --> 00:09:42,972
to stand up for
what they believe in.
128
00:09:43,225 --> 00:09:44,739
So more of them can get hurt?
129
00:09:44,980 --> 00:09:46,937
People are upset.
They're getting violent.
130
00:09:47,193 --> 00:09:48,593
If you don't let me do this...
131
00:09:48,822 --> 00:09:51,621
there will never be a day when
you can come out of hiding.
132
00:09:51,914 --> 00:09:56,193
- People need someone to believe in.
- I'm not gonna let you sacrifice yourself.
133
00:09:56,550 --> 00:10:00,385
Your father and I made
a pact many years ago.
134
00:10:00,726 --> 00:10:02,718
We knew protecting you
would be dangerous...
135
00:10:02,981 --> 00:10:05,815
but we vowed to do it,
even if it cost us our lives.
136
00:10:08,119 --> 00:10:11,635
I'm willing to sacrifice the
same thing your father did.
137
00:10:13,674 --> 00:10:16,826
But I'm not gonna let you go
on a suicide mission for me.
138
00:10:17,392 --> 00:10:20,749
The person who did this to you
is out there. I'm gonna find them.
139
00:10:22,403 --> 00:10:24,713
I'm not ready to say
goodbye to you too.
140
00:10:33,263 --> 00:10:35,983
He's just worried
about you, Mrs. Kent.
141
00:10:37,314 --> 00:10:38,350
We all are.
142
00:10:38,567 --> 00:10:42,527
Oliver really wanted to come too,
but I was afraid he'd get recognized.
143
00:10:42,870 --> 00:10:44,668
- Oh!
- Sorry.
144
00:10:46,336 --> 00:10:50,330
Who would've thought there'd be a day
when heroes need this much protection?
145
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:51,750
It's nothing new.
146
00:10:52,309 --> 00:10:55,302
A long time ago,
Jonathan and I realized...
147
00:10:55,609 --> 00:10:57,407
Clark wasn't just
our blessing...
148
00:10:57,656 --> 00:11:00,808
someday we'd have to
share him with the world.
149
00:11:01,122 --> 00:11:04,877
Protecting him suddenly became
a much bigger responsibility.
150
00:11:06,510 --> 00:11:09,389
That explains why the Red
Queen eventually entered the game.
151
00:11:11,355 --> 00:11:12,869
I've been watching you too.
152
00:11:14,905 --> 00:11:16,703
I know you took over
where Waller left off...
153
00:11:16,952 --> 00:11:20,582
but why did you leave
Clark's side in the first place?
154
00:11:20,921 --> 00:11:22,401
Same reason you did.
155
00:11:23,761 --> 00:11:27,721
There's a very fine line between being
protective and being overprotective.
156
00:11:28,565 --> 00:11:32,354
We both needed to leave for
Clark to stand up on his own.
157
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:34,692
But maybe we
stepped away too far.
158
00:11:34,956 --> 00:11:37,187
Mrs. Kent, I never
stopped watching his back.
159
00:11:37,462 --> 00:11:40,455
Clark needs you as much
as the world needs him.
160
00:11:40,761 --> 00:11:42,639
You're part of
this family, Chloe.
161
00:11:44,187 --> 00:11:49,785
You know, growing up, I never really had
much of a mother figure to look up to...
162
00:11:50,201 --> 00:11:51,271
until I met you.
163
00:11:52,415 --> 00:11:56,853
You really taught me what it meant
to take care of the people that I love.
164
00:11:57,216 --> 00:11:59,094
And as Clark's oldest friend...
165
00:11:59,347 --> 00:12:01,737
I can't think of anyone
better to watch over him.
166
00:12:13,339 --> 00:12:14,773
Stand back.
167
00:12:17,641 --> 00:12:19,997
With tensions rising and
violence breaking out...
168
00:12:20,273 --> 00:12:22,185
between VRA protestors
and supporters...
169
00:12:22,445 --> 00:12:24,960
in the wake of the attempt
on Senator Kent's life...
170
00:12:25,243 --> 00:12:28,156
things are escalating
very quickly here, Bruce.
171
00:12:41,157 --> 00:12:42,830
Hey, what are you doing?
172
00:12:45,292 --> 00:12:49,252
- Does Chloe know you're out here?
- Not exactly, no.
173
00:12:49,595 --> 00:12:51,268
She worries, Clark.
174
00:12:51,516 --> 00:12:53,587
I can't stay holed up
in Watchtower all day.
175
00:12:53,856 --> 00:12:55,654
I'll drive myself crazy.
176
00:12:55,902 --> 00:12:58,098
Your mother was out
here standing up for me too.
177
00:12:58,366 --> 00:13:01,677
She won't be doing much of anything
if we don't figure out who did this.
178
00:13:02,002 --> 00:13:05,040
- Did you find anything?
- No.
179
00:13:05,342 --> 00:13:08,858
The cops haven't found anything
either. They can't even find the bullets.
180
00:13:23,008 --> 00:13:25,318
- Clark, you all right?
- It's kryptonite.
181
00:13:25,890 --> 00:13:28,962
Police didn't find bullets because
they're made out of meteor rock.
182
00:13:29,273 --> 00:13:31,993
- Turn to dust on impact.
- Shooter knows your weakness.
183
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,476
They probably
thought I'd try to stop it.
184
00:13:35,038 --> 00:13:38,588
This wasn't political.
It was personal.
185
00:13:42,723 --> 00:13:46,637
Lois Lane. I called about doing
a pro-hero piece for your paper.
186
00:13:48,362 --> 00:13:49,955
Then you really
have no business...
187
00:13:50,243 --> 00:13:52,883
calling yourselves "fair
and balanced," now, do you?
188
00:13:54,335 --> 00:13:57,214
- Hi.
- Hi. Oh.
189
00:13:58,304 --> 00:14:00,773
- Let me get that for you.
- Thank you.
190
00:14:02,146 --> 00:14:04,263
I see you've been baking again.
191
00:14:04,527 --> 00:14:06,564
Well, yeah. I'm
getting a little better.
192
00:14:06,824 --> 00:14:09,419
And because of what you've
been through this morning...
193
00:14:09,706 --> 00:14:12,301
you could use a little
homespun sweetness.
194
00:14:12,587 --> 00:14:15,261
That's very thoughtful, Lois.
195
00:14:15,762 --> 00:14:16,878
- Ow.
- Oh. Ha, ha.
196
00:14:18,101 --> 00:14:21,856
Um, I also compiled a list of
the top 10 possible shooters.
197
00:14:22,195 --> 00:14:25,666
Ray Sacks, Bruno
Mannheim, they're all in there.
198
00:14:27,749 --> 00:14:28,749
And... Yeah.
199
00:14:28,962 --> 00:14:30,681
- Lois.
- Yeah?
200
00:14:30,924 --> 00:14:34,201
Don't worry. I've been
impressed with you for years.
201
00:14:38,108 --> 00:14:39,383
This is for you.
202
00:14:41,365 --> 00:14:42,845
Really?
203
00:14:46,670 --> 00:14:48,582
- Wow.
- When I first came into this house...
204
00:14:48,884 --> 00:14:52,594
I was the city girl, and
Jonathan's mom was particular.
205
00:14:52,936 --> 00:14:56,088
I didn't think I'd measure up to
everything she'd been for him.
206
00:14:56,402 --> 00:14:59,554
But on our wedding day,
she gave me that necklace...
207
00:14:59,911 --> 00:15:03,222
and said the thing she couldn't
measure was Jonathan's happiness...
208
00:15:03,545 --> 00:15:04,695
since he had met me.
209
00:15:05,216 --> 00:15:07,128
But more importantly...
210
00:15:08,598 --> 00:15:11,591
you are a perfect fit for Clark.
211
00:15:12,190 --> 00:15:13,704
You inspire him.
212
00:15:17,620 --> 00:15:21,057
I wish that I could inspire
him a little right now.
213
00:15:22,298 --> 00:15:25,450
He just... He's losing hope.
214
00:15:27,562 --> 00:15:29,076
I need to reach more people...
215
00:15:29,316 --> 00:15:32,195
but all of my journalistic jump
shots keep getting blocked.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:38,166
Did you know Perry White started out
fighting for his causes as an outsider?
217
00:15:38,881 --> 00:15:41,191
He didn't think much of
the conventional media...
218
00:15:41,513 --> 00:15:43,948
so he printed pamphlets
out of a storage unit.
219
00:15:45,648 --> 00:15:47,480
Storage unit.
220
00:15:48,029 --> 00:15:50,783
That is so low-rent
and so rebel.
221
00:16:46,378 --> 00:16:49,769
You've grown up, Alexander.
222
00:16:51,809 --> 00:16:55,200
I watched your
body fall 40 stories.
223
00:16:57,029 --> 00:16:59,589
It was the greatest
moment of my life.
224
00:17:01,290 --> 00:17:04,044
Well, what father doesn't
wanna make his son happy?
225
00:17:04,340 --> 00:17:06,172
You don't need this.
226
00:17:14,112 --> 00:17:15,751
Kryptonite.
227
00:17:37,042 --> 00:17:39,193
You shot Martha Kent.
228
00:17:41,303 --> 00:17:45,582
Why would you do that? I understand
she's a perfectly lovely woman.
229
00:17:45,938 --> 00:17:47,850
I was trying to kill him.
230
00:17:48,529 --> 00:17:50,805
I thought he'd blur
in front of the bullet.
231
00:17:51,076 --> 00:17:53,875
The kryptonite would
tear through him.
232
00:17:55,380 --> 00:17:57,258
But he didn't come.
233
00:17:58,011 --> 00:17:59,491
He wasn't there to protect her.
234
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,952
Don't worry, son. I'm
here now to protect you.
235
00:18:08,369 --> 00:18:11,487
No one will ever find
out what happened today.
236
00:18:13,590 --> 00:18:15,786
Will you help me kill Clark?
237
00:18:23,614 --> 00:18:28,530
I betrayed you for
that boy in another life.
238
00:18:29,086 --> 00:18:34,002
But now, here, we've
got another chance.
239
00:18:34,432 --> 00:18:36,344
We'll work together.
240
00:18:40,071 --> 00:18:41,425
You're my flesh and blood.
241
00:18:42,953 --> 00:18:44,467
My only son.
242
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,429
With my help, you will succeed.
243
00:18:48,716 --> 00:18:52,710
You will rule our
family dynasty...
244
00:18:54,689 --> 00:18:56,681
no matter what it costs.
245
00:19:10,395 --> 00:19:11,954
God.
246
00:19:14,738 --> 00:19:15,774
Wow.
247
00:19:26,182 --> 00:19:27,662
Lois.
248
00:19:27,895 --> 00:19:29,409
Why am I at my alma mater?
249
00:19:29,649 --> 00:19:31,880
How am I supposed to
be protecting my heroes...
250
00:19:32,156 --> 00:19:34,307
if I'm totally on
everybody's radar?
251
00:19:36,082 --> 00:19:38,233
And what's with all the
Woodward and Bernstein?
252
00:19:38,506 --> 00:19:40,498
Actually, more like
Perry and White.
253
00:19:40,761 --> 00:19:43,595
- These are Perry's files.
- Oh.
254
00:19:44,687 --> 00:19:48,237
That explains the smell of
Old Spice and young ambition.
255
00:19:48,780 --> 00:19:50,851
I thought you'd be out
campaigning right now.
256
00:19:52,205 --> 00:19:54,276
Actually, I'd
rather be writing...
257
00:19:54,712 --> 00:19:56,988
but no one wants to
print pro-hero prose.
258
00:19:57,259 --> 00:19:58,329
I needed inspiration...
259
00:19:58,554 --> 00:20:02,309
a way to blow down those power-puff
pieces piling up against the Blur.
260
00:20:04,442 --> 00:20:07,753
And then it hit me
like a banner headline.
261
00:20:09,203 --> 00:20:10,922
Go guerilla.
262
00:20:13,339 --> 00:20:15,729
Okay, bad banana jokes aside...
263
00:20:16,010 --> 00:20:19,367
do you really think that you and I
passing out a bunch of pamphlets...
264
00:20:19,728 --> 00:20:22,004
is gonna actually
defeat the VRA?
265
00:20:23,029 --> 00:20:25,260
Actually, I had
a different idea.
266
00:20:25,536 --> 00:20:29,371
I just need you to hack into a
couple of national-news websites.
267
00:20:30,338 --> 00:20:31,738
How many?
268
00:20:34,015 --> 00:20:35,335
All of them.
269
00:20:45,417 --> 00:20:48,455
Oliver, you can forget about
looking into those kryptonite bullets.
270
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,191
- I found the shooter's crow's nest.
- He leave an autograph?
271
00:20:52,810 --> 00:20:57,043
More or less. Something he
scratched into the roof while he waited.
272
00:20:57,405 --> 00:21:01,081
I've only seen this one other
place, on the wall in Alexander's cell.
273
00:21:01,415 --> 00:21:03,213
- He's the shooter.
- Don't worry, Clark.
274
00:21:04,338 --> 00:21:06,170
We'll find this guy.
275
00:21:26,142 --> 00:21:29,055
- What the hell is this?
- Forgot to change the locks.
276
00:21:31,946 --> 00:21:33,699
Lionel Luthor.
277
00:21:36,456 --> 00:21:38,049
It's a journal.
278
00:21:38,295 --> 00:21:42,528
My, uh, doppelgänger's life
makes for a very interesting read.
279
00:21:45,855 --> 00:21:46,971
Alexander.
280
00:21:57,049 --> 00:22:01,168
I wouldn't get used to the view.
You forget, I know where you're from.
281
00:22:02,021 --> 00:22:04,331
- People find out you're not real...
- Not real?
282
00:22:04,610 --> 00:22:05,885
Why would anyone think that?
283
00:22:06,114 --> 00:22:08,948
I've been quietly reclaiming
my assets for months now.
284
00:22:09,539 --> 00:22:13,613
Your illicit activities made it easy
for me to buy you out at a bargain...
285
00:22:13,966 --> 00:22:17,243
and the LuthorCorp board has
welcomed me back with open arms.
286
00:22:18,268 --> 00:22:20,828
- In this world, you murdered my parents.
- In mine too...
287
00:22:21,108 --> 00:22:22,827
and I had a very good reason.
288
00:22:23,071 --> 00:22:26,985
Hit me. Security's on the way.
We'll add assault and battery.
289
00:22:27,332 --> 00:22:28,402
Come on.
290
00:22:30,171 --> 00:22:31,605
I'll pass.
291
00:22:32,971 --> 00:22:37,727
So, what was that this morning,
huh? Was that, uh, your idea?
292
00:22:38,108 --> 00:22:40,907
Show Daddy that you
got the killer instinct too?
293
00:22:41,199 --> 00:22:44,237
Are you making an
accusation against my son?
294
00:22:44,540 --> 00:22:47,180
No one will take your word.
You're a convicted felon.
295
00:22:49,134 --> 00:22:51,205
You should've stayed
out of the spotlight...
296
00:22:51,473 --> 00:22:53,465
but you wanted celebrity.
297
00:22:53,728 --> 00:22:57,039
You made one fatal mistake,
you trusted them, the people.
298
00:22:57,363 --> 00:22:59,798
They're vulgar,
uneducated and stupid...
299
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,793
and they don't even know
when you're fighting for them.
300
00:23:03,418 --> 00:23:04,977
Must be heartwrenching.
301
00:23:05,215 --> 00:23:07,491
Well, you got
it all figured out.
302
00:23:08,348 --> 00:23:10,101
I'll tell you what.
303
00:23:10,686 --> 00:23:13,406
I wouldn't underestimate the
common man in tomorrow's vote.
304
00:23:13,694 --> 00:23:16,607
When the VRA's repealed
and my name is cleared...
305
00:23:17,871 --> 00:23:19,225
I'm coming after you.
306
00:23:24,386 --> 00:23:25,536
No, you're wrong.
307
00:23:28,563 --> 00:23:32,523
Tomorrow, the people will
turn on you again, believe me.
308
00:23:39,716 --> 00:23:42,470
You missed the
mark, Green Arrow.
309
00:23:44,770 --> 00:23:46,921
And now it's our turn.
310
00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:48,430
Again.
311
00:23:54,837 --> 00:23:56,794
Come on, Clark.
312
00:23:57,301 --> 00:23:59,770
- Tess?
- Clark, I have been calling you.
313
00:24:00,058 --> 00:24:04,132
I've been busy. I found out
who the shooter was: Alexander.
314
00:24:06,197 --> 00:24:09,429
I'm gonna need to scan traffic
cameras, retrace his steps.
315
00:24:13,588 --> 00:24:17,741
Clark, Alexander's not the only
Luthor that's crawling back into our lives.
316
00:24:20,105 --> 00:24:21,334
Lionel's here.
317
00:24:24,239 --> 00:24:25,275
Lionel?
318
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,750
He followed you from his parallel
world and he knows about Alexander.
319
00:24:31,592 --> 00:24:35,302
Worse, he's already found him. Just got
back from father-son day at LuthorCorp.
320
00:24:35,643 --> 00:24:38,795
Alexander's all grown up.
Family's back in business.
321
00:24:42,660 --> 00:24:45,494
Lionel's rebuilding his
empire with Lex by his side.
322
00:24:46,293 --> 00:24:49,445
Clark, you saw the world
that Lionel built over there.
323
00:24:50,011 --> 00:24:52,731
Use the mirror box and
send them both away.
324
00:24:53,394 --> 00:24:55,431
I destroyed the mirror box.
325
00:24:57,154 --> 00:24:59,191
Maybe Jor-El has a
way to send Lionel home.
326
00:24:59,451 --> 00:25:01,249
Snow Dad's been
a little frosty lately.
327
00:25:01,497 --> 00:25:03,568
Maybe we should
figure out a different way.
328
00:25:03,837 --> 00:25:05,476
Yeah, I agree with Oliver.
329
00:25:05,717 --> 00:25:07,913
Don't you have other
ways to deal with them?
330
00:25:08,181 --> 00:25:11,094
No one does anything till I
get back from the Fortress.
331
00:25:23,259 --> 00:25:26,616
This is your home, Alexander.
332
00:25:27,395 --> 00:25:29,466
You'll be safe here.
333
00:25:30,527 --> 00:25:33,247
You always remember, son...
334
00:25:33,783 --> 00:25:36,742
a Luthor's home is his castle.
335
00:25:37,041 --> 00:25:41,115
But this really isn't
your home, Lionel, is it?
336
00:25:43,265 --> 00:25:46,781
And we both know this boy
is sick and needs serious help.
337
00:25:47,734 --> 00:25:50,772
Alexander, would you
leave us a minute, please?
338
00:25:51,076 --> 00:25:52,556
Go on.
339
00:25:53,164 --> 00:25:55,520
It's all right. It's all right.
340
00:25:56,756 --> 00:26:01,433
So, Senator Martha Kent.
341
00:26:02,687 --> 00:26:06,920
I assume Clark told you about his
journey through the looking glass.
342
00:26:07,283 --> 00:26:09,354
And he just called
me about yours.
343
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,111
You don't belong here.
344
00:26:12,379 --> 00:26:14,848
That's strange, coming from you.
345
00:26:15,136 --> 00:26:17,856
Where does your son
belong? Certainly not here.
346
00:26:18,143 --> 00:26:21,420
Well, on this side of the
mirror, Clark is a force for good.
347
00:26:21,735 --> 00:26:23,931
And if you try to hurt him...
348
00:26:24,742 --> 00:26:26,893
I will destroy you.
349
00:26:27,874 --> 00:26:30,389
I find you very
attractive, Martha.
350
00:26:36,186 --> 00:26:41,545
I understand why I had
such strong feelings for you.
351
00:26:44,373 --> 00:26:46,842
I loved to give you presents.
352
00:26:48,592 --> 00:26:51,266
There was a wristwatch.
353
00:26:51,557 --> 00:26:52,752
You remember?
354
00:26:54,230 --> 00:26:56,142
Lionel and I had
nothing to hide.
355
00:26:56,401 --> 00:26:58,040
Engraved.
356
00:26:58,281 --> 00:27:02,480
"To Martha, with
deep affection."
357
00:27:07,010 --> 00:27:08,763
Did you share that
with your husband?
358
00:27:13,527 --> 00:27:16,326
Stay away from Clark.
359
00:27:22,757 --> 00:27:25,033
You may have used him
in your world to kill Lex...
360
00:27:25,304 --> 00:27:26,977
but you won't use
him in this one.
361
00:27:30,776 --> 00:27:32,495
Alexander.
362
00:27:32,781 --> 00:27:34,420
Is that true?
363
00:27:34,661 --> 00:27:37,779
You abandoned me in this world
and wanted me dead in the next?
364
00:27:38,086 --> 00:27:41,716
Oh, my God, son,
what have you done?
365
00:27:43,392 --> 00:27:44,712
Son?
366
00:27:44,937 --> 00:27:47,327
Isn't it a little late for that?
367
00:27:48,946 --> 00:27:52,462
In two separate worlds,
you picked your son.
368
00:27:53,458 --> 00:27:55,290
And it wasn't me.
369
00:27:57,301 --> 00:27:59,532
You loved her son.
370
00:28:00,809 --> 00:28:03,005
I was wrong, Alexander.
371
00:28:04,610 --> 00:28:05,930
I...
372
00:28:07,242 --> 00:28:09,518
That's why I came
back here to find you.
373
00:28:10,458 --> 00:28:12,768
No second chances, Lionel.
374
00:28:13,466 --> 00:28:15,344
It's time to end
this family feud.
375
00:28:15,595 --> 00:28:18,713
- Alexander, please listen to me.
- I know I'm dying.
376
00:28:21,358 --> 00:28:22,633
I'm aging faster and faster.
377
00:28:26,118 --> 00:28:28,587
I have all of Lex's memories.
378
00:28:29,126 --> 00:28:31,721
And he despised
every single one of you.
379
00:28:32,343 --> 00:28:33,982
Listen to me, son.
380
00:28:34,222 --> 00:28:37,340
Don't let hate master you.
Make it your servant. Use it.
381
00:28:37,648 --> 00:28:41,562
Let it build inside you. Your
hate can make you strong.
382
00:28:41,908 --> 00:28:45,538
- I can teach you how.
- There's nothing left for you to teach me.
383
00:29:07,303 --> 00:29:09,818
I'm taking pity on you, Martha.
384
00:29:11,272 --> 00:29:14,504
I know how much it would
kill you to watch your son die.
385
00:29:34,161 --> 00:29:39,077
I was halfway to the Fortress
when I realized what you meant.
386
00:29:41,385 --> 00:29:43,536
You're looking for the
Phantom Zone crystal.
387
00:29:43,807 --> 00:29:46,879
- You sent Slade there, didn't you?
- The VRA forced my hand.
388
00:29:47,190 --> 00:29:51,025
When the justice system here is
fixed, I'll bring him back to stand trial.
389
00:29:51,952 --> 00:29:54,672
How can you be so good, Clark?
390
00:29:55,168 --> 00:29:57,558
Because no one
taught him to hate.
391
00:29:58,719 --> 00:30:00,711
Like Lionel taught me.
392
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,232
- Alexander.
- But don't worry.
393
00:30:06,488 --> 00:30:08,957
I took care of my father.
394
00:30:09,245 --> 00:30:10,361
And your mom too, Clark.
395
00:30:11,751 --> 00:30:12,946
What did you do?
396
00:30:14,384 --> 00:30:15,704
Clark.
397
00:30:18,017 --> 00:30:21,215
Part of growing up is letting
go of your parents, Clark.
398
00:30:21,526 --> 00:30:23,279
Something you've
always struggled with.
399
00:30:23,531 --> 00:30:25,011
Where are they?
400
00:30:25,995 --> 00:30:27,827
Back at the mansion.
401
00:30:28,543 --> 00:30:29,659
Or what's left of it...
402
00:30:29,879 --> 00:30:32,189
since it's burning to
the ground as we speak.
403
00:30:32,468 --> 00:30:35,028
You're not a killer, not
yet. You can come back.
404
00:30:35,308 --> 00:30:37,459
I'm the last Lex Luthor.
405
00:30:37,731 --> 00:30:39,404
After I die, there's
no coming back.
406
00:30:41,031 --> 00:30:43,068
- Alexander...
- No, Tess!
407
00:30:43,746 --> 00:30:45,226
I am done with all of you.
408
00:30:46,753 --> 00:30:48,392
And you.
409
00:30:50,679 --> 00:30:54,116
Always making yourself look better
by making me look like some monster!
410
00:30:54,690 --> 00:30:55,726
You're not him.
411
00:30:55,942 --> 00:30:59,458
You keep blaming everybody else,
but look who has the gun in their hand.
412
00:31:01,831 --> 00:31:03,060
I know how you feel.
413
00:31:05,089 --> 00:31:07,684
After living in the
darkness for so long...
414
00:31:07,971 --> 00:31:10,770
you feel like you can't
step into the light...
415
00:31:11,104 --> 00:31:14,256
because it makes
you feel ashamed.
416
00:31:14,570 --> 00:31:18,803
But Clark was the one that
changed everything for me.
417
00:31:20,710 --> 00:31:23,225
He can do the
same thing for you.
418
00:31:29,398 --> 00:31:31,276
Why would you wanna help me?
419
00:31:33,115 --> 00:31:34,788
I'm your enemy.
420
00:31:35,537 --> 00:31:38,928
- We've been locked in battle for years.
- We're not locked into anything.
421
00:31:39,255 --> 00:31:41,531
You had something Lex
never had and that's Tess.
422
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:43,750
She loved you.
423
00:31:43,975 --> 00:31:46,126
I still love you. I do.
424
00:31:47,317 --> 00:31:49,673
And I know that I'm not perfect.
425
00:31:51,787 --> 00:31:53,540
But I'll always
be there for you.
426
00:31:55,337 --> 00:31:56,373
Okay?
427
00:33:07,805 --> 00:33:08,955
This isn't over.
428
00:33:39,674 --> 00:33:43,224
Cheer up, Clark. Lex? Lionel?
You had a big win tonight.
429
00:33:43,556 --> 00:33:45,195
I think we'll still lose today.
430
00:33:45,477 --> 00:33:48,390
And after this vote, I'll
be an outlaw forever.
431
00:33:49,989 --> 00:33:52,584
Hey. You might wanna
take a look at this.
432
00:34:01,642 --> 00:34:03,838
"A beacon of hope
shining light on the truth"?
433
00:34:04,107 --> 00:34:06,417
It's our answer to the VRA.
434
00:34:08,576 --> 00:34:10,090
Hey, Blur, it's Brian.
435
00:34:10,665 --> 00:34:12,975
I like to consider myself
a longtime supporter...
436
00:34:13,254 --> 00:34:15,974
of these vigilantes, as
they like to call it now.
437
00:34:16,262 --> 00:34:17,776
All of my hopes
were confirmed...
438
00:34:18,059 --> 00:34:20,893
when I saw that mysterious
letter S showing up everywhere.
439
00:34:21,191 --> 00:34:24,980
I knew it was you guys. And so,
what it's worth, Blur, thank you.
440
00:34:25,326 --> 00:34:29,036
You've already changed my
life. Keep fighting, no matter what.
441
00:34:29,503 --> 00:34:32,382
I remember what it was like
here in Metropolis before he came.
442
00:34:32,677 --> 00:34:36,387
You couldn't even walk the streets.
But since the Blur came, we have hope.
443
00:34:36,728 --> 00:34:38,606
So I just wanna
let the Blur know...
444
00:34:38,858 --> 00:34:43,057
that there are still people who
support him and I'm one of them.
445
00:34:43,412 --> 00:34:46,769
Being a hero isn't about being able
to save every person from a mugging...
446
00:34:47,129 --> 00:34:49,439
or pull someone from
a burning building...
447
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,439
but to give people hope
for a brighter tomorrow.
448
00:34:52,726 --> 00:34:57,084
The Blur is a symbol for integrity
and morality and selflessness.
449
00:34:57,446 --> 00:35:01,599
If you're listening to this,
Blur, thank you for everything.
450
00:35:01,957 --> 00:35:03,630
I wanna be a hero to my kids.
451
00:35:03,878 --> 00:35:07,030
I wanna be a hero that helps
give them faith in themselves...
452
00:35:07,678 --> 00:35:09,397
that they can
accomplish greatness.
453
00:35:09,683 --> 00:35:14,599
Thank you for helping me believe
that heroes can and do exist.
454
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,478
Blur, I wanna thank you. As long
as you're doing what you're doing...
455
00:35:18,789 --> 00:35:20,860
to keep the people of
our hometown safe...
456
00:35:21,127 --> 00:35:23,961
us boys and girls here
can keep on doing our jobs.
457
00:35:24,261 --> 00:35:26,901
I look at the Blur and
his powers that he has...
458
00:35:27,226 --> 00:35:28,546
and they're amazing...
459
00:35:28,771 --> 00:35:31,081
but that's not what
inspires me about him.
460
00:35:31,361 --> 00:35:32,590
It's his character.
461
00:35:32,823 --> 00:35:35,736
When I see the Blur
and others like him...
462
00:35:36,038 --> 00:35:39,827
turn their differences
into strengths...
463
00:35:40,508 --> 00:35:44,058
it gives me hope that
one day I can do the same.
464
00:35:44,392 --> 00:35:47,590
He's always there for us, standing
up for us and doing what's right.
465
00:35:47,901 --> 00:35:50,575
That's who a hero is, somebody
who stands up for others.
466
00:35:50,866 --> 00:35:53,256
Everybody has
their favorite hero.
467
00:35:53,540 --> 00:35:55,133
Well, my favorite
hero is the Blur.
468
00:35:55,379 --> 00:35:58,690
Thanks for being somebody thatl
can count on to do what's right.
469
00:35:59,889 --> 00:36:02,324
We love you, Blur.
We're always here for you.
470
00:36:03,315 --> 00:36:05,989
I can't believe they'd risk
coming out to defend me.
471
00:36:06,531 --> 00:36:09,126
You have no idea how much
you mean to people, Clark Kent.
472
00:36:17,308 --> 00:36:19,108
I don't think a couple
hundred testimonials...
473
00:36:19,312 --> 00:36:22,828
- will be enough to change the vote.
- Try a couple hundred thousand.
474
00:36:24,575 --> 00:36:26,885
All of them willing to
step forward for you.
475
00:36:28,499 --> 00:36:30,775
They just needed
a place to be heard.
476
00:36:34,848 --> 00:36:36,919
You're an American hero, Clark.
477
00:36:55,816 --> 00:36:58,490
This historic vote is
the first of its kind...
478
00:36:58,782 --> 00:37:02,617
with an unprecedented number
of people going to the polls.
479
00:37:02,958 --> 00:37:06,030
And I've just been told, with
all 50 states reporting in...
480
00:37:06,342 --> 00:37:08,538
we can announce that
the measure to repeal...
481
00:37:08,806 --> 00:37:11,480
the Vigilante
Registration Act...
482
00:37:11,771 --> 00:37:12,771
has passed.
483
00:37:14,821 --> 00:37:16,096
Yeah!
484
00:37:18,622 --> 00:37:20,534
- Yay!
- We won! Ha, ha, ha.
485
00:37:21,296 --> 00:37:22,969
Thank you.
486
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,911
You should thank
your mom and Perry.
487
00:37:26,182 --> 00:37:27,332
They were my inspiration.
488
00:37:34,328 --> 00:37:36,240
I thought people had
given in to the hate.
489
00:37:36,501 --> 00:37:38,333
I didn't realize how
much hope there was.
490
00:37:38,589 --> 00:37:40,740
I wish I would've
had more faith.
491
00:37:41,010 --> 00:37:43,161
I wanna be the man that
you made that suit for.
492
00:37:43,432 --> 00:37:45,901
You don't need a suit
to be the world's hero.
493
00:37:46,190 --> 00:37:48,580
Well, when I saw those
people willing to defend me...
494
00:37:48,863 --> 00:37:49,899
it was inspiring.
495
00:37:53,414 --> 00:37:54,848
It got me to thinking that...
496
00:37:55,084 --> 00:37:57,918
in order for the Blur to
be a true beacon of hope...
497
00:37:59,386 --> 00:38:01,981
maybe people need
to see my face too.
498
00:38:03,898 --> 00:38:05,218
I've been to the future...
499
00:38:05,443 --> 00:38:10,040
and I saw the hero that I
will become to save the city.
500
00:38:11,583 --> 00:38:15,418
But I also saw me. I
mean, Clark Kent...
501
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,355
disguised behind
glasses and a bad haircut.
502
00:38:18,642 --> 00:38:21,032
Well, I'm sure you still
looked very handsome.
503
00:38:22,778 --> 00:38:26,294
Mom, I just don't know how I
can treat Clark Kent as a disguise.
504
00:38:27,289 --> 00:38:29,520
You and Dad raised me
to be who I am right now...
505
00:38:29,795 --> 00:38:31,229
the real Clark Kent.
506
00:38:31,467 --> 00:38:36,496
What's real is your strength
and integrity and compassion.
507
00:38:37,982 --> 00:38:40,213
As long as you remain
honest to those things...
508
00:38:40,488 --> 00:38:44,641
it doesn't matter what you
wear or what name you go by...
509
00:38:44,998 --> 00:38:48,548
because you'll always be my son.
510
00:38:50,094 --> 00:38:53,212
So you're saying I should become
that hero and step into the light?
511
00:38:53,519 --> 00:38:55,192
Clark...
512
00:38:55,984 --> 00:38:57,782
you are the light.
513
00:39:04,129 --> 00:39:07,725
Oh, gosh, your dad
would be so proud.
514
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,434
- Hey, Tess.
- Hey.
515
00:40:22,779 --> 00:40:24,532
Are you okay?
516
00:40:26,705 --> 00:40:28,105
I feel sick.
517
00:40:28,334 --> 00:40:31,452
Come here. Sit down.
518
00:40:35,599 --> 00:40:37,431
I'm beginning to forget things.
519
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,840
Can you remember
what you did yesterday?
520
00:40:51,054 --> 00:40:53,205
What if I forget everything?
521
00:40:56,860 --> 00:40:58,579
What if I forget you?
522
00:41:01,412 --> 00:41:03,085
Come here.
523
00:41:04,003 --> 00:41:06,074
Come here, Alexander.
524
00:41:08,513 --> 00:41:10,425
I promise you...
525
00:41:11,521 --> 00:41:13,592
I promise you...
526
00:41:13,860 --> 00:41:16,091
that I will make
everything okay.
