All language subtitles for Smallville.S10E21-E22

Previously on Smallville...

Martha: We didn't find him.
He found us.

[ Tires screeching ]

I could have swore
I hit you.

So, what are you,
man or superman?

I haven't
figured it out yet.

Jor-El: You are the last son
of Krypton.

Clark: What are you
trying to tell me, dad?

That I'm from
another planet?

I just don't know how
I'm supposed to be the man

he wanted me to be
without him here.

- Who are you?
- Lois Lane.

Jimmy: I've seen the way you two
look at each other.

Lois and Clark
would be great together.

You're looking at the newest
recruit to The Daily Planet.

Chloe: To me, you're more
than just a hero.

You're a superhero.

I am the villain
of this story.

Lionel's here.

I'm not the Lionel
you knew.

Lex is dead.

That is a lie.

You're all engineered
from Lex's DNA.

Clark: When I sent
the Kandorians away,

I opened a door for something
else to come to Earth.

It preys upon the dark side
that we already have.

Desaad: Our unholy trinity
is complete,

preparing the way
for Lord Darkseid.

You won't remember
any of this.

I think the Omega's a sign
of corruption --

a mark that the darkness
has fully taken over someone.

What if one of us
were to get infected?

If we can't stop it,

the darkness will infect
every person on this planet.

Clark: Gold meteorite?

It could
take away his powers.

You could be the greatest hero
the world has ever known.

Clark:
Not according to Jor-El.

Well, then, do what you
do best -- prove him wrong.

Clark: You may not see me
as a hero,

but the rest
of the world does!

And I decide my fate!

Jor-El:
Your journey is far from over.

Goodbye, Jor-El.

And now the series finale
of "Smallville."

"This is the story
of an amazing boy

"who grew up
in the fields of Kansas...

In a little town
called Smallville."

[ Chuckles ]

"When he became a man,

"he believed the only way
to seize his destiny

"was to turn his back
on both his parents

"and refuse to see the darkness
descending on Earth.

"But all that
was about to change.

He was about to face
his greatest challenge."

[ Sighs ]

Some people take time off
when it's their wedding day.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

There is no wedding.

Don't pretend you didn't hear
what I said last night.

And you're one to talk.

That blue underoo
sticking out of your collar

means you're on the job,
too.

Just keeping busy.
I didn't want to crowd you.

You know, you haven't called
in eight hours.

Usually you figure things out
when I give you some space.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Or you can just
keep avoiding me.

I'm not avoiding you.

I have work to do.

President just arrived in town
for a fundraiser,

plus a huge stack
of police reports just came in.

And I have to call
all the guests

and let them know that
the big day has been canceled.

[ Air whooshes ]

Nice try, speedy, but you can't
make 411 disappear.

[ Cellphone dialing,
air whooshes ]

[ Sighs ]

Your Copperfield act's
impressive,

but it won't
change my mind.

Go out there
and save the day,

wherever it needs saving.

Lois, there's a whole team
of heroes out there

protecting the world...

So we can get married.

You really don't see it,
do you?

You're a hero,
and that's how it should be.

It's just that you've gotten
so used to the fact

that you know you're gonna be
able to fix everything

and make everything right

that you cut out
any possibility

that there are some things
that you just...

You can't fix.

We don't need fixing.

We don't.

But we are
in an impossible situation,

one that you can't superspeed
or superhear

or superleap
your way out of.

Clark, every minute
that you spend with me --

having dinner,
arguing about paint colors,

arguing about whether or not
to get married --

you could be out there
saving someone.

Lois, this is my future,

and I want you
to be a part of it.

Yeah, well, maybe we don't
get what we want.

Clark,
I'm just in your way.

You're not in my way, Lois.

You're by my side.

And if you really want to go
through with canceling the wedding,

you're gonna have to leave me
standing at the altar.

[ Sighs ]

Who knew tying the knot
was so much work?

You got to remind me
to thank Zatanna

for making our nuptials
so hassle-free.

I don't know.

I would have liked
to have remembered

some of the details
of our wedding.

Well, considering the other
details of that night,

all I really need
is a marriage license.

- You know, I was wondering if you were --
- I was gonna ask you --

- Sorry.
- You can go ahead. You should go first.

Go ahead.

If Zatanna hadn't put you
under that spell,

would you still have,
um...

Gone through with it?

Yeah.

It's the best decision
I don't remember making.

What about you?
Ditto.

So, what are we
supposed to do now, anyway?

Buy a condo and a cuisinart?

"Supposed to do"
has never been a part

of our unique relationship.

We've always made up
our own way of doing things.

Yeah.

Including making our big day the
quietest non-event of all time.

[ Chuckles ]

You know, we may be trumped
in the non-event category

by Lois and Clark.

She still hasn't
called back.

I phoned, texted,
and e-mailed her,

but it's all quiet
on the wedding front.

Well, you know, it is the matron
of honor's duty

to get the bride
to the altar on time,

so you may want
to reel her in.

My best-man duties
are all taken care of.

I, uh...

picked these up
this morning.

Aww.
Simple and classic.

Yeah.

Well, all you have to do

is get the mice and the pumpkin
over to Cinderella's

and get her
to the church on time.

[ Wood creaking ]

I see you're living up
to your Luthor name,

last heir
to the dark dynasty.

I'm rebuilding this mansion

to make it a symbol
for something good --

to change the way that people
see us and the Luthor legacy.

[ Scoffs lightly ]

Why are you here?

I shouldn't be here,

but I couldn't
help myself.

Look at you...

...All grown up.

I always wanted to be there
for you, a loving mother.

You were never my mother.

You were special.

Every soul on Earth
charts its own destiny,

each decision tipping it
toward the light

or toward the darkness.

I could always tell
which side of the balance

my girls would fall to.

But you were different.

You were born to darkness,

yet you yearned
for the light.

Being a Luthor
doesn't determine my fate.

Then you must listen to me.
I can't bear to see you suffer.

I want to give your soul
eternal life!

Please, Lutessa,
let me save you!

From what?

Darkseid's apokolips.

Evil in its purest form --

the heart of human nature,

obscured over time
as something to be cast away

rather than embraced.

Hades, Kali --

even the word "Lucifer"
is an old Latin phrase

meaning "morning star,"
"bringer of light."

I'm afraid the centuries
and translations

have twisted
Darkseid's true gifts.

But...

Before the end of days,

his rapture will be
the only salvation.

I will never join you.

Farewell, my child.

Bless your soul.

Wait.

When?

I mean,
what do you mean?

When?
When is this hell coming?

It's not coming, Lutessa.

It's upon us.

[ breathing unsteadily ]

Mom?

I thought you were staying
at the bed and breakfast.

And I thought
I was coming back

to a home that you and Lois
were building together.

We are, in Metropolis.

I hope.

I sent you a message.

We close escrow
in a few days.

Clark, I think you misunderstood
when I sent you the deed.

This is our home.

We've already
accepted the offer.

You're -- you're right
in the middle

of a re-election campaign.

Just because I'm moving ahead
with my life

doesn't mean I'm letting go
of everything that came before.

That was a hard lesson
to learn.

Is this about dad?

[ Sighs ]

Look, I know it's been tough
since he died,

being the one
left behind --

that's just it.

I was never left behind.

[ Sighs ]

No matter where I am

or who I'm choosing
to bring into my life,

your father
is always with me.

And he's with you,

if you just allow yourself to --
to see him.

I did.

Last year.

I-I thought
I was talking to him.

But then I realized
it was just an excuse

for me not to face
my future --

just like I was waiting
for Jor-El to show me the way.

I had to move on.

I'm so proud
of the man you've become.

But why bring up dad
today of all days?

Because this is a day
to celebrate

the next step
in the journey you're on

and everyone
who's been a part of it.

And you don't think
I'm doing that?

Clark, you're so focused
on what's ahead

that you're starting to cut out
the parts of your past

that made you who you are.

I...

I can't begin to imagine

the pain you see every day
when you're out there.

I know you have to
put blinders on

to cope with
your responsibilities,

but if you turn your back
on all the experiences

that made you strong
and compassionate

because they hurt...

I'm afraid that, one day,

everything you learned in Smallville
will have been for nothing.

I'm never
gonna let that happen.

[ Voice breaking ] You already
are, and you don't see it.

Sweetheart...

All I'm saying is...

you don't have to let go
of the past to move on.

Yes, you do, mom.

I'm sorry.

I love you,
but you have to find a way

to put all of this behind you
just like I did.

It's the only way
to move on.

[ Sighs ]

Lois:
All right, come on, people.

Air Force One
landed an hour ago,

and they still haven't
left the hangar.

This news hound smells a story.

Give me something
I can sink my teeth into.

No, no, and no.

Look, I know you have
a laundry list of reasons

not to get married
tumbling around in your head,

but you're never gonna
see the big picture

if you get stuck
in spin cycle.

There is no Chloe quip that's
gonna make me change my mind.

Clark can hear
the world's cries for help,

and he's duty-bound
to answer the call.

I am not gonna
stand in his way.

He can't listen all the time,
Lois. He's not God.

He can't be aware of every bird
or blade of grass, okay?

He's a man.

And sometimes
he needs to not listen.

He needs to rest,
to love, to laugh.

And when he finally does
decide to take to the skies,

he's gonna need you
to ground him.

Well,
that's what I'm afraid of.

I'm grounding him,

keeping him from soaring
to new heights.

Oh, Lois...

That is so
not what he thinks.

But since you're not gonna
meet him at the altar...

You should hear that
in his own words.

[ Sighs ]

Clark: "I, Clark Kent,
take you, Lois Lane,

"to be my companion...Forever.

"With you by my side,
i will never be alone.

"Though the world sees a strong
and independent woman,

"I've never known someone

with such gentle grace
and more pure of heart."

"When I've been lost,

"you've always been there
to bring me back.

"So, on this day,
at this moment,

I pledge the rest of my life
to you."

"You've always believed in me,
and I believe in you.

"And when you believe
in someone,

"it's not for a minute
or just for now.

It's forever."

I'm such an idiot.

Watchtower,
access satellite Chloe Two.

Watchtower: Satellite Chloe Two
access unavailable.

Not online.

What the hell is going on?

Satellite was programmed
to disconnect.

Then we don't have
our eye in the sky.

Who gave that command?

You do not have the proper
security clearance,

Miss Mercer.

Link me to Queen Industry
satellite Hotel-Alpha-4-2.

All Queen Industry satellites
are offline and inaccessible.

How is that possible?

Program command to disconnect

came from Watchtower base
at 1242 hours.

Bring up Watchtower security
footage from that time.

Accessing.

Oliver...

What did you do?

Can you access Watchtower's
orbiter's video feed?

Manhunter has put the new
space station online,

per your request.

Thank God
for our favorite martian.

Watchtower,
show me what's out there.

Video feed on main monitor.

I've done what you asked.

They won't know
apokolips is coming.

Our dark lord
will be pleased.

Now he asks one final mission
of you --

to protect the souls
we have saved.

This will disarm
the bringer of light,

the one who threatens
to vanquish the darkness.

I never wanted to say goodbye.

Then don't.

I thought
I had it all figured out --

how to move on...

How to bury my guilt,
my insecurities, my questions,

but...

I'm so close.

I know who I'll become.
I've seen it.

Lois thinks
I should let her go.

Mom says I should
hold on to you.

You don't need to hold on
to somebody, Clark,

if they're already
in your heart.

I just can't
keep leaning on you...

On Jor-El.

I need to stand alone,
you know?

It's better that way.

You mean
it's easier that way.

Just I've missed you
so much.

[ Sighs ]

Then let me be there for you,
Clark.

A-and don't --
don't push your mother away.

We're part of you.

[ Sighs ]

It's like I'm on a cliff,
standing on the edge,

and where I'm looking is beyond
where you've ever been before.

It's beyond where Jor-El
has ever been before.

And as much as I value
everything you've given me...

I need to go beyond where either
of you can guide me anymore,

to be the hero that
the world needs me to be.

Why is it
that the biggest events

are always
the most painful?

You know, Clark, when
I graduated from Excelsior,

it was, uh...

It was one of the most important
days of my life, but...

But I don't remember any of
the speeches that were given.

I don't remember
getting my diploma.

I just, uh...

I remember my parents
not being there.

I know what you're trying
to say, Oliver,

but I'm not here
to mourn my father's death.

I already did that.

I've put it behind me.

Okay, well,
if by "putting it behind you,"

you mean saying sayonara
to your ice dad,

selling the farm,
and hanging out in a cemetery

instead of being at church

wearing an uncomfortably
starched suit...

What if Lois was right?
What if this is all wrong?

My training, Smallville,
the farm, my memories --

what if it was all
just a crutch?

Clark, I don't think
taking a scalpel to your past

is gonna turn you into the
caped Skywalker of your future.

I thought Lois
was my future.

I thought she was my new life
and my destiny,

but what if she's part of the
memories I need to leave behind?

What if heroes
aren't destined to love?

I've been down this road
before.

I've gone through this.
You know where it landed me?

Burning a perfectly good
leather hoodie.

When I was on the edge,
it took a really good friend

to remind me who I was,

to push me
toward who I could become.

But that's the thing,
Oliver.

No one can push me
or lead me anywhere.

My whole life,

I've been trying to fit in
in two different worlds,

and the truth is, I don't belong
to either one of them.

I need to make my own path.

Maybe that means letting go
of...both worlds.

Maybe it means
letting go of Lois.

Cl--

Lois?

Lois.

Careful, there,
Prince Charming.

It's bad luck
to sneak a peek at the bride

before you get to the altar.

I know that technically
you saw me this morning,

but the rules only apply when
the wedding is officially on.

On?

Lois, I-I thought
you called off the wedding.

Don't have a cow,
farm boy...

But I read your vows,

and I know that
that is against the rules,

but a little birdie bridesmaid
gave it to me, and...

[ Sighs ]
...they were beautiful.

And I-I realized that
I was a fool because I was --

what we have is a gift,
and I was trying to return it.

And we're a perfect fit.

So here's my vows.

Now we're even.

Lois, sometimes you can
see things that I can't.

And you -- you walked away,
I thought,

because you couldn't
bring yourself

to be the one to stand
in the way of my destiny.

Well, here's the thing
about that.

I can be loud.

And, at times,
I'm a little bossy.

So someone might wonder why
a person of your godlike caliber

would be with a woman
who is so imperfect.

Well, don't take this
the wrong way,

but you come with some baggage
of your own.

And it's made me
a better person,

just like being with me
will make you a greater man...

And a super hero.

I hope.

Lois, thing is...

What if you were right,
you know?

With your family
not being here

and the doubts
that you had yesterday...

Maybe the stars
aren't aligned.

Well, believe me,
it's a buzz kill

that the Chief of Staff
whisked daddy away

into some hush-hush meeting,
but...

I'm a big girl.

I can walk myself
down the aisle.

As my mom always said,

the ones you love
are always with you.

[ Chuckles ]

And right now,
my dad would be telling me

that I should have laid out
all my clothes the night before

so that I wouldn't be
whirling around like a dervish.

And mom -- she's reminding me
that I need to breathe

and take in every moment
so that...

I can remember them
forever.

What would your dad say,
Clark?

I'm not sure he would
say anything, Lois.

That's kind of the way it was
with my dad.

I always knew exactly
what he was thinking.

Clark, what did you mean...

About the stars
not aligning?

Lois: "I wanted these vows
to be perfect,

"but perfection's a hard thing
to get your hands on.

"But life is meant
to be a little messy.

"And when it comes to love,

"I think it's like my dad
always said about the army --

"you only sign up
if it's the only thing

"you could ever imagine doing.

"And, Clark, I cannot imagine

"spending a moment of my life
without you.

"So I promise that I will
always have your back,

as you will always have mine."

[ Sighs ]

"You're my best friend,
you're my home,

"and you're my true love.

And I am yours
and will be forever."

Clark?

[ Exhales sharply ]

I'm here.

[ Sighs ]

I'll see you
at the chapel.

Yeah.

See you there.

[ Beep ]

[ Static ]

[ Beep, dialing ]

[ Static, beep ]

I hope one of you gets this.

Uh, because of the interference
in the atmosphere,

I don't know if my calls
are going through, but --

[ busy signal ]

[ Tires screeching ]

What the hell?

Oh, God!

[ Tires screech ]

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

Everything okay,
Smallville?

Perfect.

It's perfect.

Lois: "I wanted these vows
to be perfect,

"but perfection's a hard thing
to get your hands on.

"But life is meant
to be a little messy.

"And when it comes to love,

"I think it's like my dad
always said about the army --

"you only sign up
if it's the only thing

you could ever imagine doing."

Clark: "I, Clark Kent,
take you, Lois Lane,

"to be my companion, forever.

And with you by my side,
I will never be alone."

Lois: "You're my best friend,
you're my home,

"and you're my true love.

And I am yours
and will be forever."

Clark:
"On this day, at this moment,

"I pledge the rest of my life
to you.

"You've always believed in me,
and I believe in you.

"And when you believe
in someone,

"it's not for a minute
or just for now.

It's forever."

[ Slowed-down ] No!

[ Normal ] Oliver,
what are you do--

Chloe.

Get everybody out of here!

Go!

Surrender to the darkness.
Never.

Clark!
Lois, no!

Lois!

[ Air whooshes ]

Oliver!

This isn't you.

Don't let it take you over.

Oliver? Listen to me.

You need to fight it.

You're too late.

There's no saving you.

That's not true.

You haven't always made
the right choices,

and you once gave up on yourself
and those around you.

I'm not giving up on you,
Oliver.

You have a good heart.
Let it guide you.

You and I -- we have to
save the world together.

I need you to be a hero.

I know you'll make
the right choice.

You know Gold Kryptonite will
take my powers away forever.

I believe in you.

[ Chuckles lightly ]
Everything's okay now.

No, it's not.

[ Thunder rumbling ]

Looks like the world's
gonna need its heroes

sooner than we thought.

To witness these strange
atmospheric changes.

There seems to be an eclipse...

I guess the cellphone reception
was starting to go down

while Tess was leaving you
this message.

Can you play that again?
[ Cellphone beeps ]

Tess:
I was trying to warn you.

Watchtower's been compromised.

The prophets
are at the center of this.

According to the journals, the
apocalypse is an actual planet.

It's coming.

The eclipse --
Darkseid's behind it.

That must have been why
he tried to get Oliver

to put that ring on me.

He knows I would have
tried to stop him.

We need to find Tess.

It sounds like she may know
a way to defeat the darkness.

Thank you, General.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff
and the Defense Department

aren't saying anything until
the President makes a statement.

If the Pentagon's
not stepping up,

I'll call in
every available agent.

Something tells me
we'll need them all.

No offense, but I think
we're gonna need a bigger team,

and if Watchtower's down,

I got to go to Star City
to access my database.

Well,
then I'm going with you.

No, I got this.

Your talents are better used
here with Clark.

We got to figure out
what happened with Watchtower.

See you in the funny pages.

Hey.

I'd feel better
if you let me be your chauffeur.

No.

You need to do
what you do best --

be a hero.

You too, Sullivan.

[ Rumbling, wind howling ]

[ Thunder rumbles ]

Dad.

I knew
you'd see me again...

When you were ready.

I made a mistake, dad.

I thought
I had to leave you behind.

But it's you and mom
and everyone that I care about

that makes this world
worth saving.

But you're worried
you're gonna fail this time.

I know you're scared, son.

I faced Darkseid before.

He knows my weakness.

He almost defeated me.

I need your help.

But, son, he never saw the man
who's standing before me now.

Clark Kent,

as much as your mother and I
tried to protect you

from your origins,

tried to prepare you
to face any challenge...

...I'm sorry, son, but our guidance
just isn't enough anymore.

You're gonna have to let Jor-El
guide you from here on out.

I can't, dad.

I turned my back on him,
like I did you.

He's your father.

He'll understand.

Martha:
Don't doubt yourself, Clark.

This has been coming
for a long time.

[ Sighs ]

Before you arrived...

We wanted a child so badly.

The day you found us
in that field,

you were the miracle
we prayed for.

Now the world
needs that same miracle.

[ Smooches ]

[ Rumbling, wind howling ]

Son...It's time.

Thank you.

[ Air whooshes ]

It's good
to have you back.

I should have g-guessed
it would be you.

No, no.
No, no, no.

Don't beat yourself up,
Tess.

I've been watching you
very closely.

Oh.

I'm impressed.

I must admit...

I underestimated you.

It's a little late, huh?

It's not really time
for a father-daughter chat.

There's literally a planet
hurtling toward earth.

[ Groans ]

Do I catch the tiniest hint
of a doubt?

Are you worried that your savior
in red might not prevail?

He needs me.

Wrong.

He needs no one.

I've seen
what he's capable of.

[ Scoffs ]

It's ironic...

I'm the only one who seems
to believe in him, isn't it?

Don't question
where my allegiance lies.

It's time you embrace
your lineage, Tess --

time to become the Luthor
you were destined to be.

Why did you bring me here?

My son, Lex --

your brother, a genius --

carried on
with the family business.

As you know,
Lex cloned himself.

There were many clones.

None of them were perfect,
but some of the pieces were.

No.

Yes.

Lex took the best pieces and
grafted them into a masterwork.

I don't believe you.

Of course you don't.

Lex is a visionary.
You're not.

Where is he, then?

He'll reveal himself
when he's ready.

It's not possible.

Well, there is one thing

Lex wasn't able
to duplicate successfully.

Lex is missing a heart.

And who better to save him
than the sister who loves him?

Luthors are survivors.

You are one of us,
my dear.

It's all right.

When the day is done,

I will see the Luthor name
resurrected...

More powerful than ever.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Machinery humming ]

Tess.

[ Beep ]

According to the journals, the
apocalypse is an actual planet.

It's coming.

What the hell?
Oh, my God!

[ Tires screeching ]
[ Cellphone beeps ]

No!

No!

No!

No!

Tess. Tess, Tess.

You must see that you're
the cause of your own undoing.

He's your brother.

Don't you understand?

I thought Conner's heart

would have been
a more poetic choice.

You've hidden him
so cleverly,

there's no alternative.

Lex is worth
killing your own daughter?

Lex is worth
everything to me.

[ Saw buzzing ]
Finally...

...You will serve an important
purpose in my life.

Looks like my purpose
in your life has changed.

[ Coughs ]

Lex.

Lex.

[ Gasping ]

You refused me once,

but this may be the moment
when you'll reconsider my offer.

I never intended
to live forever.

[ Grunting ]

There's only one life
I care about.

Let my son live.

In exchange for your soul.

Aah!

[ Gasping ]

[ Heartbeat ]

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Flatline ]

Lois?

All satellite and Internet
connections went down

15 minutes ago.

- Have you found Tess?
- Only her abandoned car.

She was on her way to Smallville
to warn us.

I think with that planet
hurtling toward Earth,

everyone got the warning.

Clark.

You think
those three prophets,

or whatever you call them,
took Tess?

We're about to find out.

She left her cellphone
underneath the car seat

with a video message
for one of us to find.

One of us
with X-ray vision, maybe.

President:
My fellow Americans,

the White House scientific
advisers have ensured me

that the eclipse you are all
undoubtedly seeing

is caused by a meteor...

We know that the prophets
use people's darkness

to mark them
with an Omega.

What we don't know is why.

And Tess quoted
one of the prophecies

as saying that the markings
weren't just spiritual.

There's some sort
of anti-life dark force

that could bring about
the apocalypse.

You mean like bringing a giant
planet crashing into ours?

Exactly like that --
maybe the marking

has some sort of unexplainable
gravitational pull.

Too bad anti-life equations
aren't covered in physics 101.

I need to figure out a way
to lift the darkness

and break whatever's binding
these people to that planet.

Today definitely tops
Chloe's wall of weird.

Exactly how many people
are marked?

More than
you want to know.

Clark, you inspired the darkness
out of Oliver.

I can't do that for everyone
on the planet, Lois.

If Tess knows how to stop this,
I need to find her.

She got a shot of her car's
parking camera

and the license plate
of whoever took her.

[ Keyboard clacking ]

[ Rumbling ]

Our internal database
shows it's registered to...

A company called Preclox?

Yeah.

It was founded
only six weeks ago.

According to their bank records,
they have limitless funds.

Genetic research.

I only know
of one mega-mogul

who's obsessed
with genetic engineering.

Lionel Luthor.

Who knows that he's being
tracked by Tess Mercer.

Yeah, but the GPS went down
with the satellites.

It should tell us
where he was 15 minutes ago.

Lois,
that's the Luthor mansion.

But that place
burned to the ground.

Maybe what Lionel's after
is underground.

The Luthor mansion was built

on a labyrinth of corridors
underneath it.

[ Rumbling,
electricity crackles ]

Lois,
no matter what happens...

Clark,
a person that I greatly admire

once told me that when
you believe in someone,

it's not for a few minutes
or sometimes or just for now.

It's forever.

Now go save the world.

[ Rumbling ]

I'll be fine.

I call on each and every one of you.

to stand strong
in the moments to come

that our military
has a precision plan

to take care
of the meteor fragments.

We will take swift action
in securing the world's safety.

A General doesn't miss
his daughter's wedding

unless he's been called to duty.

Oh, my God.

Excuse me.

Hmm.

Janet, you're covering
the President's visit, right?

Look, I need you to get
a message to him for me.

Look,
I grew up in the military.

That speech has buzz words --

"precision plan,"
"swift action."

They're gonna
nuke that thing.

Only, that thing
isn't the little meteor

that'll break apart
like they think it is.

It's a planet,
and it won't even make a dent.

But the radioactive fallout
of this missile --

it'll kill millions.

[ Rumbling ]

Take it to The Inquisitor.

I've got a plane to catch
with the President.

O-okay, well,
then you tell him

that he can't press
the proverbial button.

Why not?

Because The Blur will save us
before it ever comes to that.

The Blur?

Oh, my God, Lois.

If you think the President,
his military advisers,

or anyone is ever
gonna take you seriously --

[ metal clangs ]

I'm sorry.

I wouldn't have had to do that

if the world
wasn't in jeopardy...

and you weren't such a bitch.

Hello, Clark.

Can't say I love what
you've done with the place.

Lex.

You still say it
the same way --

astonishment
mixed with a hint of dread,

yet...with a hopeful finish.

You're alive.

Seems my father had a...

a change of heart.

And I got a second chance
at life.

Where's Tess?

What have you done
with her?!

She's fine.

I wouldn't worry so much
about my dear little sister.

You know, I used to think
it was our families

that made us who we are.

Then I hoped
it was our friends.

But if you look at history,

the great men and women
of the world

have always been defined...

by their enemies.

You have a second chance.
You can change all that.

But that's the thing
about memories --

you can't forget them.

Like how you were always that
one step ahead of me, Clark.

No matter how meticulously
I prepared,

no matter how strategic
I was...

If only I'd known
I never stood a chance.

It wasn't a competition.

Of course it wasn't.

You were born
to be the chosen one.

You're simply
better than us.

And that always killed you.

No.

No, what killed me is that
you didn't even want it.

You fought it.
You -- you hid from it!

I would have taken it
and relished it, embraced it.

My destiny
wasn't yours to take!

I get that now...

Which is why I finally
embraced my own.

You and I...

We will both be great men.

Because of each other,

we have a destiny together,
Clark...

only on different sides.

I'll always
be there to stop you.

Always.

Oh, I'm counting on it.

Our story hasn't been written
yet, Kal-El.

And every villain
is only as great as his hero.

But, you see,
that all relies

on you saving us
from the coming apocalypse.

You know about Darkseid?

You really think I just read

the Cliffsnotes
of the Veritas journals?

They foretold
of a chosen savior --

the light that will inspire
this world out of darkness.

You are the light, Clark.

Only you hold the power
within you.

I'm not so sure

that Clark Kent can save
the entire world on his own.

He can't.

But we both know who can.

I'm sorry
I couldn't save you, Lex.

[ Air whooshes ]

Activate computer monitors.

Computer:
Monitors on.

[ Keyboard clacking ]

Computer:
Systems online.

[ Beep ]

[ Beeping ]

[ Lock disengages ]

[ Door whirs ]

[ Rumbling ]

The day of judgment
is upon us.

We've saved the willing souls
from the coming apocalypse

to serve the dark lord.

Our work is done.

You can say that again.

Your mark
has been lifted.

That's impossible.

I got this friend --

cool leather jacket, blurs
faster than a speeding bullet.

He's pretty good
at impossible.

You were so close
to experiencing the rapture,

known only to those who will be
serving our lord for eternity

while all the others perish.

Do you really think
you possess the power

to vanquish our lord from
the souls of those he saved?

No.

But I got friends
in high places.

[ Breathes deeply ]

You're not authorized
to go in there.

I must have forgotten
my hall pass.

I was just
going to the bathroom.

It's that way.

Okay.

Well, they said that they would
brief us in 2 minutes.

It's now been 15,
and I really need...

Do you see that giant
molten orb out there?

Now, whatever story
they told you,

it's crashing
into the planet.

[ Rumbling ]

You can see it
with your own eyes.

Hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!

I just need a few minutes
of your time.

- I'm sorry, sir.
- No! Wait!

I have information
that you need to know.

I don't know how you got
on this plane, young lady,

but you're stepping so far
out of your position.

All that matters is the truth,
and you don't have it.

Please, Mr. Secretary.

I have proof

that the meteor that you're
about to nuke into oblivion

is much larger
than you realize,

with a density that will result
in you spewing nuclear fallout

over half the hemisphere

that could take out
millions of people.

[ Rumbling ]

But you already know that,
don't you?

My God.

You all realize
that you're gonna be taking out

1/3 of the Earth's
population,

and you're not even
gonna warn them?

[ Metal creaking ]

We can't spread panic.

It will only aggravate
an already impossible situation.

And what about
your families?

And the President?

Where are we gonna --

To a secure bunker.

The casualties are nothing

compared to losing
the entire planet.

We don't have a choice.

Now,
if you'll excuse us --

No, wait.

You do have a choice --

heroes, one in particular
who will stop this

before you unleash
your nukes.

Now, I know that
some deeply disturbed brass

may have rounded them up and
tried to dirty their names,

but the people had their day.

And they gave our heroes
a chance to prove themselves.

You owe the people
of this country

a chance to see that their faith
was worth something.

The world
is in crisis!

This is not a time for your
little hero crusade, miss --

Lane.

This is exactly the time
for my hero.

He will be here.
He will save us.

I promise.

Now, I know that you all want
to see your families again.

You just need to give
our heroes a chance.

Your heroes
have five minutes.

[ As Darkseid ]
The lost son of Jor-El.

Darkseid.

My father sent me here
to protect this planet.

And I will fight you
till my last breath.

There must be a part of you
that's disgusted

by how easily your people
fell to me.

They may not be perfect,

but I believe
even in the darkest soul,

there's always hope.

People want to believe
in something greater,

and it may be easier
to hate...

But it's stronger to love.

Is it?

Eons have passed since I came
face-to-face with a force

that could possibly
tip the balance to the light.

Aah!
You are the light!

You cast out the darkness
from Oliver Queen,

and you will obliterate
my darkness

from the rest of the world
if you are not stopped!

You will surrender to me.

You will lose your soul.

I will annihilate you!

Jonathan: Clark, you're gonna
have to let Jor-El guide you

from here on out.

Jor-El: You've always had
the power within you, my son.

These were my trials.

Your final trial
is upon you, my son.

You are ready.

Seize your Destiny.

Something told me
that I'd find you here.

I combed the lab,
and I saw what happened.

Long time, sis.

Did you always know?

Why do you think
I recruited you,

treated you
as my own flesh and blood?

You used me.

Semantics.

I'd say dear old dad
did most of the abusing.

Wouldn't you?

I guess the bullet in his chest
answers that question, huh?

He wanted nothing more
than to have you back again.

And what did you want,
Tess?

Something I'll never have.

Clark?

[ Scoffs lightly ]

Redemption.

I love you, sis.

[ Dagger plunges ]
[ Gasps ]

[ Groans ]

You know
I'm actually saving you.

[ Dagger clatters ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Breathing raggedly ]

From what?

From turning into me.

[ Chuckles lightly ]

It's too late.

Clark already did that.

It's the neurotoxin
that you started at Summerholt.

It penetrates --

dermal tissue.

Paralyzing
all cognitive recognition.

How long?

30 seconds.

What will I remember?

Nothing.

The world before this moment
won't exist to you.

[ Gasps, grunts ]

[ Rumbling ]

[ Rumbling ]

Jor-El: Your journey
has come to an end, Kal-El.

I shouldn't have tried
to push away my Kryptonian side.

My strength is accepting it --

accepting you.

You honor me.

A father's pride
cannot be measured in words,

but know that
I am proud of you, son.

You have no idea how long I've
waited to hear you say that.

We have been down
a long road together, Kal-El --

one paved
with difficult trials.

Those trials
are behind you now.

Any father can only hope

that he is one day humbled
by the feats of his son.

But it is your soul, Kal-El,
of which I am most proud.

You --
and you alone --

possess the courage,
the determination,

and the compassion
that will be required of you

to lift the darkness
from the Earth.

[ Rumbling ]

I ask you
to remember one thing.

Your abilities
may be of my blood,

but it is your time
in Smallville,

with Jonathan and Martha Kent
and all the people there,

that made you a hero,
Kal-El.

[ Echoed screech ]

Always
hold on to Smallville.

[ Rumbling, metal creaking ]

[ Electricity crackling ]

[ Jet engines whistling ]

[ Papers rustling,
electricity crackling ]

This is Lois Lane
of The Daily Planet,

reporting from aboard
Air Force One.

President: Miss Lane.

Mr. President.

[ Air whooshes ]

Come on, Clark.

You can do this.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Man: Yes!

And that was the day
the boy turned into Superman."

Wow.
[ Chuckles ]

Read it again, please.
[ Chuckling ] Oh.

There will always be
more adventures for another day.

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Beep ]

Did you get it?

Thought you might need
something blue.

I did, just in time.
Thanks, cuz.

Wish me luck.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Bad idea.

Very, very bad idea.

How many
"Great Caesar's Ghost"s?

Perry: Nobody tries to
strong-arm The Daily Planet!

If Luthor thinks
he can bully...

Four, before his coffee.

But...
Did you get my shots?

Love the framing,
love the colors.

Where's the drama?

Um...

Um, did you see the one
with the elephant?

The Man of Steel
deserves better

than a circus incident
and a fender bender.

I want pecs, I want cape,
I want pearly whites.

- Yes, Miss Lane.
If Luthor wants this paper,

he's gonna have to deal
with Perry White!

Your brother left big shoes
for you to fill, Olsen.

I know
you're up to the task.

Lane!
I know you're out there!

Stories don't write themselves,
Lane!

Great Caesar's Ghost!

I'm sorry.
Excuse me.

Pardon me.

Oh! Unh!

Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Lane.

Let me just, uh...
It's just I was, uh...

Can it, Clark.
No one's paying any attention.

Yes, Miss Lane.

- That's so hot.
- Mm.

But listen,
this is serious.

Do you have them?

You mean these?

Yes.

Are you ready?

I've been ready
for seven years.

Somebody tell Perry White!
Just came in over the wire!

There's a bomb in an elevator
uptown!

Just tell the minister
I'm gonna be a few minutes late.
