[Brainiac] I gave you a chance.
I reached out my hand to bestow the favor of Empire,
but you rejected me.
You are a world in rebellion
and you will be purged.
[Hank] Human Defense Squadron,
preparing to engage enemy weapon.
On my mark, and fire!
Wilson sit-rep. Who's still engaged with the enemy?
[explosion]
[weapon charging]
Henshaw, do you copy?
Wilson? Slade!
Shut the Metallos down.
What do you think I am trying to do?
It's not my fault that you asked for an unbeatable army!
What are you doing?
[Waller] My job.
I vowed to protect Earth
and that's exactly what I am going to do.
What about you, Luthor?
[tires screech]
-There's more of them! -Hold on.
[all exclaim]
[tires screech]
[weapon charging]
[clang]
Dr. Irons?
Oh, hey.
Hold on a second.
-[grunts] -[clang]
[explosion]
Dr. Irons, we need to get to Superman.
We have to help him and get--
Don't worry. The others are on it.
-[sighs] -[weapons firing]
[groans]
[sighs]
[crackling]
[grunts]
Thanks, babe.
I call dibs!
-[grunts] -No fair!
You got the last...
[emits sonic scream] ...one!
Uh...
Thank you. But...
Why are you here?
[sputters] What's going on?
The Cavalry is here to help.
That's us. And that Steel guy.
Oh, and the Main Man. Heh.
Who?
[weapon firing]
Hello, Mandy.
[weapon charges]
Sam.
Cavalry, take out the Metallos
and help Superman defend Metropolis.
This is the last time I help save the world.
Kal-El. Who are these people?
They're our friends.
Okay. Okay. Don't push it.
We just don't wanna see the planet destroyed.
So what's the play, hero?
We stop Brainiac.
He's the one controlling that thing in the sky.
Shut him down
and the threat to Earth goes away.
-Kara. -If we can get inside,
we can pull out Brainiac's mainframe.
But we cannot do it with all these
Kryptonite robots in the way.
[laughs] Leave them to us.
Ready, Kara?
Everyone, stay close!
We're almost there!
No!
Livewire. Go after her.
Your tech is Kryptonian.
The Kryptonite will take you out, too.
[grunting]
Kyle!
-Argh! -[clang]
[loud rumbling]
It's over, Brainiac.
Will you surrender?
Or do we have to make you?
[Brainiac laughing]
Did you really think you could defeat me?
I am the last true Kryptonian.
You are here
because I let you come here.
For this...
Eradicator Override.
[screaming]
Kara!
[Brainiac] This is what you deserve for betraying me.
Just as your people did during the last days of Krypton.
Oh, how they moaned
that we weren't winning the war.
That their children were dying.
Do you know, Kal-El,
that your father led secret peace talks with our enemies?
They were going to declare a cease-fire.
And then where would that leave me?
I was built for war.
But now I was just supposed to let them decommission me?
No.
The day the cease-fire was to be announced,
22 years ago,
I activated our greatest weapon
and wiped your people out.
You...
killed them.
[Brainiac] Yes.
Jor-El discovered my plans
and smuggled you out
minutes before I ripped Krypton from the heavens
and cast it into hell.
But I still won.
I found Kara.
And now you will have to make a choice, Kal-El.
Which will you save?
Your planet?
Or your cousin?
[gasps]
Argh!
[grunts]
[growls]
No! Kara!
-[grunts] -Snap out of it.
[groans]
[thudding]
[grunts]
-Argh! -[loud boom]
[loud boom]
What are they doing up there?
Are they fighting?
No. Kara wouldn't.
It's Brainiac. It has to be.
We have to help them.
How?
This is bigger than just turning off the lights or...
Or posting a video, you guys.
-Guys? Guys? -[engine whirring]
-[tires screech] -What?
[screams]
[grunts]
[grunting]
I know you're still in there, Kara.
Brainiac wants us to destroy each other.
But I won't hurt you.
[Brainiac] That won't do.
All systems,
annihilate Superman.
Argh!
[screaming]
Kara.
-[grunts] -[groans]
Argh!
[screaming]
-Argh! -[grunting]
Okay.
Let's bring you home, Kara.
[grunting]
[Kara grunts]
[grunting]
[together] No.
[screams]
[Kara grunts]
-Fight this, Kara. -[growling]
I know you can.
[panting]
[straining]
-[grunts] -You can do this, Kara.
You are stronger than he is.
[Brainiac] Lies.
-[sighs] -[loud boom]
[painful screaming]
[Brainiac] You are weak.
You are useless.
You are a failure
and your only worth is in obedience.
Without me,
you are alone.
[Jimmy] No, you're not.
I'm here!
And I'm not going anywhere.
Don't let Brainiac win.
You're your own person, Kara.
You helped us save Clark. Now let us save you.
I know what it's like to be alone.
To search for a place to belong.
But home isn't a place.
Home is the people who love you.
So come back home to us, Kara.
[screaming]
[cries]
[Brainiac] Enough! Destroy them.
[whispers] No.
[Brainiac] Kara,
you will comply.
I said...
no!
[grunts]
[thudding]
[straining]
[thudding]
[straining]
[Brainiac] No, you shall not win.
Initiate Black Zero Protocol.
What are you doing?
[Kara grunts]
[Brainiac] Did you think only the humans could synthesize Kryptonite?
That I would not be able to replicate it?
To use it against you and all that you love?
[grunts] You'll...
destroy yourself too.
[Brainiac] You have broken me too deeply to recover,
traitors of the House of El.
But if the Empire must die...
then its children will die with it.
[screaming]
No.
[young Clark] Kara!
Take my hand.
You...
you came after me.
Of course. You're my family, Kara.
But I... I don't think we can escape
the sun's gravitational pull.
[gasps] Clark.
Look.
How is this possible?
[chuckles] It's...
it's because we are Kryptonian, Kal-El.
The sun is our place of power.
Let's go.
[straining]
[both screaming]
[Brainiac] Kara,
you will comply.
Not anymore!
[Brainiac screaming]
[Brainiac] You die
with me.
-This ends now, Brainiac! -Kara!
[Brainiac] Ha!
-[Kara grunts] -[Brainiac laughs]
[Brainiac and Kara grunt]
[exhales]
[distant cheering]
[all cheering]
They are cheering for you, Kal-El.
Kara, they're cheering for both of us.
Oh.
I did not know.
I have never saved a world before.
Kara?
Kara!
[snoring]
Kara, you're awake.
Kal-El.
Where are we?
This is the house I grew up in. [chuckles] On Earth.
Um...
You've been asleep for a few days.
Are you okay?
[together] Kara!
Gosh, we're so glad to finally meet you.
We've been worried sick.
Are you feeling okay?
Are you hungry, darling?
I have some pie in the fridge
and I can get some soup going.
Uh...
Uh, Kara, this is my mom and dad.
Ma, Pa, meet Kara.
It is wonderful to meet you.
If it's all right with you, Ma, I have a surprise for Kara before we have lunch.
A surprise?
That is a very small surprise, Kal-El.
We're gonna teach you how to play catch.
It's a Kent family tradition.
And you're family.
All right, Kal-El,
show me your Earth catch.
And then I will master it.
And then I will win.
You can't win at catch.
Then you are doing it wrong.
[thudding]
[winces]
No holding back.
[Martha] Clark! Kara!
I know you can hear me.
Everyone's almost here.
[Clark] One week ago,
Earth faced an alien invasion.
You've heard different versions of what happened.
But we at the Daily Planet
have a duty to bring you the truth.
[Jimmy] The truth is that Superman
and his cousin saved us.
But they weren't alone.
[Lois] The people of Metropolis came together to help them,
putting aside their differences to protect our home.
[Clark] The invader was defeated
and justice came to those who tried to benefit
from fear and pain.
[Lois] But even as this brought out the best in many,
it brought out the worst in others.
And there will always be new threats to face.
[whooshing]
Clark.
Lois.
Um, I got your call.
I need to talk to you about Vicki's job offer.
I've been doing research for that. Um...
I found apartments in Gotham that have vacancies
and roof access.
At super speed, I could be there in five minutes,
depending on where you move.
You'd fly back and forth for me?
[chuckles] Lois Lane.
No matter where you go,
all you ever have to do
is say my name
and I'll be there.
I turned Vicki down.
I don't wanna be the second Vicki Vale.
I want to be the first Lois Lane.
And I'm gonna make that happen right here
at the Daily Planet...
with the man I love.
[Kara] Kal-El.
[Lois] Soup on the roof!
[Clark] No one knows what will come next for Metropolis
but there's one thing we at the Daily Planet do know for certain.
-[laughing] -[Jimmy] No matter what the future holds.
[Lois] No matter what is thrown at us.
[Clark] We will face it together.
[woman] Help! Help!
There's a fire in Perez Plaza.
Stay here. We'll be right back.
No way, Smallville.
It's a breaking news story.
We're going too.
