All language subtitles for Superman and Lois S03E05 - Head On

Previously on
"Superman and Lois"...

I have stage three
inflammatory breast cancer.

- Where are you going?
- "The Gazette."

I'm not just gonna sit around
and wait till chemo, Clark.

There's one prisoner
other than Henry Miller

that Judge Regan granted
compassionate release to.

James Distefano.

You skipped chemo, Lois.

We had just gotten this break
in the Mannheim case.

Bruno Mannheim
is my white whale.

This story is not more
important than your health.

Mom?
[sustained tone]

Bruno Mannheim
invested $200 million

in Hob's Bay Medical Center.

If a sign up
as a chemo patient there,

I would be right
in the middle of Hob's Bay.

I'll do the paperwork
when we get home.

It'll be in their system
at the end of the day.

♪ ♪

I think that's everything.

Your dad and I will meet you at
the dance after my treatment.

Mom, you really
don't need to come, okay?

Grandpa said
he'd cover for you.

There's gonna be
plenty of chaperones.

But it's
the Valentine's Day Dance.

I wanna be there.
- You're getting a round

of chemo.
Maybe take a rest after.

Yeah, last time, you were
super exhausted, remember?

I was a little fatigued,
but not until the next day.

Besides, this is my one chance
to see you two dressed in

anything other than
hoodies and tennis shoes.

So if you really
wanna make me happy,

you'll put on a suit,
and I don't know,

maybe comb your hair.
- Okay.

I would, but Candice
never lets me in the bathroom.

Jordan,
we have talked about this.

She's our guest.
- No, seriously, though.

It's been three weeks
of cold showers,

not to mention
waiting for the bathroom.

Okay, she's looking
for a place to stay.

It's just taking
longer than expected.

I'm starting to think
she's my mortal enemy.

- Okay.
- Oh, good, you're still here.

I thought you would like
a little treat

during your session today.

Aw, that is so sweet of you.

Thanks again for
taking me dress-shopping.

I can't wait
to show it off at the dance.

You're gonna look
so beautiful.

All right, wish me luck.

Round two.

You're gonna crush it today,
Mrs. Lane.

Thank you.

Hey.

You and Nat taking them out
for another spin?

Really appreciate you
letting us use your land.

Hey, anytime.

But, Clark,
I gotta be honest,

I'm not okay with Lois
getting her treatment

at Bruno Mannheim's hospital.

Am I the only one
who thinks the priority here

should be
her beating this thing

and not poking around in
Al Capone's vault?

It's Lois' treatment.

She's allowed
to decide where she gets it.

Bruno Mannheim
stole your blood

and then tried to blow up
John Henry's sister.

Not exactly the résumé
of a top caregiver.

I'm aware of that.

At least keep her away from
the kids' dance tonight.

She should be at home, resting.

She's got her heart
set on going,

so we're gonna have to trust
that she knows her limits.

You still mad about me going
to Hob's Bay Medical Center?

I'm just here
to support you, pumpkin,

any way I can.

Ready?

I'll see you
at the dance, Dad.

How are you
and your mom holding up?

Don't act like you care.

- Of course I care.
- Really?

'Cause now that my dad's dead,

you've been acting like
he was never even the mayor.

I issued a statement.

Which was a joke.

You didn't mention
any of the stuff he did

for people around here.

Come on, Junior.

We're all friends here.

You and I haven't been
friends for, like, ten years.

I know you cheated

Matteo?

Are you sure about this?

to Dr. Hook's files,

maybe we can finally find out
what Bruno Mannheim's up to.

Okay, it's just the nurse
said the anti-nausea medicine

might wear you out,
so maybe I should be the one

doing the investigating.

will allow me to move around

I'm clear.

♪ ♪

Where'd she meet this joker?

Um, in Metropolis.

In Metropolis, where?

At a party.

So this Matteo shows up
in Smallville on what,

a hunch?

Actually,
he found Sarah online

and asked for Nat's number,

but Sarah thought
it'd be better

if he came to Smallville
and asked her in person, so...

Here he is,
having convinced you

to ditch every safety protocol
you've been taught

and lead him
straight to the farm!

He seems like a cool guy.

Cool guy?

Right.

Um, I gotta be honest.

That dude's
kind of freaking me out.

[both chuckle]

He's probably just wondering
why you're here.

But why does he even care?

He's, you know, like,
part of my adopted family.

It's complicated.

Oh, I see. I see.

Well, in that case,

I'll try my best
to make a good impression.

This is so crazy.

I can't believe
you're actually here.

Yeah, me either.

I was super nervous
surprising you like this,

but Sarah insisted, so I...

Well, this time, I will
definitely give you my number.

You know,
the movie theater in town

is playing "Dumb Einstein,"
if you're interested.

Or maybe not.

It's just I have
a Valentine's dance

that I'm going to at my school.

I mean,
I'd ask you to go, but--

You already have a date.

No, it's a formal.

You're not really dressed up.

Okay, well, I'll buy a suit.

I'm sure there's some place
in town that could hook me up.

Seems like a lot just to go
to some high-school dance.

Not just a high school dance.

A high school dance with you.

[chuckles]

It's totally worth it.

Okay.

Please have a seat.

You're making me nervous.

Oh, I'm sorry.
Um, I'm not getting treatment.

I'm just here
to support my wife.

- Lois Lane, right?
- Mm-hmm.

- Lois Lane in Hob's Bay?
- Mm. What's she got?

Uh, inflammatory
breast cancer, stage three.

This her first round
of chemo?

Second. The first one
was in New Carthage.

Everything went well.
She's--she's doing great.

How are you doing?

Uh...
[chuckles]

I just want Lois to get better.

Ah. Looks like
we have another one.

Sounds like
every other spouse.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm just
dropping off lab results.

Okay, no problem.

Need a hand?

I've been out here a while.
I don't know.

Half a dozen cars driven by,
and you're the, uh--

you're the first personto stop.

Yeah, well, it's no big deal.

I just wanted to make sure
everything was okay.

See, that right there,
that's, uh,

that's pretty much
what I do for a living.

[sighs]

You know, crew and I,
we've been, uh,

we've been
pretty swamped lately.

We could use an extra hand.

- Wait, seriously?
- Yeah.

Hell, you're the perfect age
if you want to learn,

you know, if it's something
you might be interested in.

Yeah, yeah,
that would be cool.

But I work during the week
at Brit and Dunn's.

Your weekends free?

Yes, sir.

Why don't you stop by
next Saturday?

We'll just take it from there.

Okay.

All right. Cool.

Hey, Jon, we gotta get going
so I can get ready in time.

Go.

See you next Saturday.

Will do.

[trunk clicks closed]

[engine turning over]

Junior was just so angry.

It was like
I was the bad person,

not his dad.

I'm afraid that
Junior is not the only one

who feels that way.

There are so many questions
about what happened to Dean.

People are looking for
someone to blame.

But why blame me?

I had nothing to do
with what happened.

But you were
political rivals, right?

People see that
and just sort of run with it.

[scoffs]

If people could only see how
crooked George Dean really was.

I mean, objectively, he did
do a lot of good for this town.

Oh, trust me, the bad
outweighs the good here.

I mean, I have plenty of proof

of Dean
robbing this city blind.

Lana, well,
unless people know the truth,

they're gonna keep blaming you.

If you want,
I can help clear the air.

Two of us, we've both
been through this before.

I was diagnosed
five years ago.

Went through
all the treatments--

radiation, surgery.

Was in remission
until it came back.

End of last year.

Sorry to hear that.

And for me, I've been on
both sides of the chair.

First was where you're sitting
with my daughter Diana.

She had breast cancer.

Took her
three years ago this month.

She would've turned 37.

Wow, she was so young.

Her doctors thought
the same thing.

They kept telling her
not to worry,

even though
the voice in her head

knew something was wrong.

Uh, is she okay?

Oh, yeah, that's just
the chemo kicking in.

I'm really sorry
about your daughter.

Me too.
[sniffles]

[door unlocks]

Where's Henry Miller?

[door unlocks]

I gotta hand it to you,

coming to my hospital
for treatment

so you can investigate me
at the same time.

Where's Dr. Hook?

Making rounds,
seeing patients.

We both know that's not true.

Well, I can have a nurse
track him down for you,

if you'd like.

But all this sneaking around
is unnecessary.

You wanna know something?
Just ask.

Well, what I know is that
you have Superman's blood

and that you are having
Dr. Hook somehow use it

to make powered people...

This again.

People who were dying
like Henry Miller.

You know,
your friend, Superman,

accused me of the same thing.

This is
a cancer treatment facility.

The only thing I'm doing here
is trying to save lives.

I have written about you long
enough to know that nothing--

nothing--
happens in South Metropolis

unless it benefits you.

You want something
to write about?

Well, everyone calls it
something different,

experiences it
in their own way,

but the pull,
as I call it,

happens to anyone
who sits in this chair.

The pull?

This disease,

it tests every part of you,

mentally, physically.

And at some point,
you get this feeling,

this--this pull.

That it'd be so much easier
if you'd just let go.

It doesn't mean that
you don't love

the people in your life
or that you wanna leave 'em,

but...

that feeling
to give into the disease

gets to be so strong.

So this drive

that your wife has,

she's gonna need to use
all that energy to survive.

She's not wrong.

Just checking in, ladies.

- All good.
- Thank you.

And where's your wife?

Hello, Smallville High.

I just wanted
to give you all some good news.

The mold remediation
is nearly done,

which means your school
and your lives

can return to normal

Thank you for your patience

What most people
still call South Metropolis.

When I was 14,
my mother fell ill.

Couldn't figure out why.

It turns out
our entire neighborhood

was built next to
a chemical waste dump.

No one even knew it was there.

Tried to get the company
responsible to help, but...

You think anyone gave a damn
about some cleaning lady

from the Suicide Slums?

After she died,

I realized no one
was ever coming to save us.

So I decided
right then and there

I'd do it myself.

Everything you see here

is an extension of that belief.

I will do everything
in my power to save your life.

But if you try to stop me
from saving the people I love

here in Hob's Bay,

she needs to see me.

Hey.

What's up?

I don't want to go public
with that stuff about Dean.

Sorry.
What changed your mind?

I mean,
don't you think that the public

deserves to know the truth?

I think,
in this specific case,

the truth will hurt
more than it heals.

It's best to keep it a secret.

But after everything
that's happened...

This town needs closure, Chrissy,

and I'm gonna give it to them.

So I've decided to name
the new town hall

after Mayor Dean.

Mm.

The George Dean
Memorial Town Hall.

Mm-hmm.

Sounds nice.

- That everything?
- That's everything.

If you need anything at all,
you know where to find me.

Thanks, Mrs. Lane.

You're just the sweetest.

Take care of your brother
for me.

Okay.

Drive safe, you two.

[engine turning over]

[exhales sharply]

We need to talk.

Turns out
this Deadline character

managed to get the locations of
several of our top facilities.

What kind of facilities?

Ones that store
sensitive assets.

So while you were
fighting Deadline,

the rest of Intergang was
silently raiding the cupboards.

What did they take?

[dramatic music]

This is our new priority.

Looks just like him,

only more dead.

For now.
