345
00:18:03,437 --> 00:18:06,981
you only give a damn now
because it affects you.

346
00:18:06,982 --> 00:18:08,274
Jerry!

347
00:18:08,275 --> 00:18:10,693
- Luthor isn't gonna
stop at my family.

348
00:18:10,694 --> 00:18:13,822
If we don't put him away,
he is gonna cause a lot of pain

349
00:18:13,823 --> 00:18:16,866
for a lot of people,
including everyone in Hob's Bay.

350
00:18:16,867 --> 00:18:20,203
He will destroy everything good
you have built there.

351
00:18:20,204 --> 00:18:22,455
You can't want that.
I know Peia wouldn't.

352
00:18:22,456 --> 00:18:23,581
- Don't you bring her
into this.

353
00:18:23,582 --> 00:18:25,041
- Then what about Matteo?

354
00:18:25,042 --> 00:18:26,918
He is coming after my boys.

355
00:18:26,919 --> 00:18:31,006
You think he won't
come after yours?

356
00:18:35,177 --> 00:18:37,887
- What is it you want me
to do exactly?

357
00:18:37,888 --> 00:18:44,394
- You helped send Luthor to
prison for 17 years with a lie.

358
00:18:44,395 --> 00:18:49,316
Help me put him away for good
with the truth.

359
00:18:57,616 --> 00:18:58,908
- It looks the same.

360
00:18:58,909 --> 00:19:00,702
- On the outside, sure.

361
00:19:00,703 --> 00:19:03,496
Inside is a different matter.

362
00:19:03,497 --> 00:19:05,707
I overhauled the interface,
gave it a complete

363
00:19:05,708 --> 00:19:07,834
system upgrade,
added a wireless connection

364
00:19:07,835 --> 00:19:09,919
to the LuthorCorp
satellite array,

365
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,839
and the armor has been
infused with kryptonite.

366
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,426
The closer Superman gets,
the weaker he'll become.

367
00:19:16,427 --> 00:19:18,303
- That it?

368
00:19:18,304 --> 00:19:21,973
- Except the
kryptonite-laced screws.

369
00:19:21,974 --> 00:19:23,933
- Screws?

370
00:19:23,934 --> 00:19:27,437
- To dig into Superman's
chest and explode

371
00:19:27,438 --> 00:19:31,608
that old man's heart of his.

372
00:19:31,609 --> 00:19:33,651
You want to kill
the Man of Steel,

373
00:19:33,652 --> 00:19:36,946
this is how you do it.

374
00:19:36,947 --> 00:19:38,865
You're welcome.

375
00:19:38,866 --> 00:19:42,035
By the way, you never served
in the military, correct?

376
00:19:42,036 --> 00:19:44,287
- No. Why?

377
00:19:44,288 --> 00:19:47,457
- I recovered a
deleted Captain Luthor file

378
00:19:47,458 --> 00:19:49,125
in the suit's registry.

379
00:19:49,126 --> 00:19:51,294
John Irons is such a hack.

380
00:19:51,295 --> 00:19:52,712
- Anything else?

381
00:19:52,713 --> 00:19:55,340
- There is one last thing
you should see.

382
00:19:55,341 --> 00:19:58,468
The DOD file on
a Project Doomsday?

383
00:19:58,469 --> 00:20:01,054
- Is that some kind of weapon?

384
00:20:01,055 --> 00:20:03,431
- It's definitely a weapon.

385
00:20:03,432 --> 00:20:07,143
But not one of theirs.
[beeping]

386
00:20:07,144 --> 00:20:10,313
One of yours.

387
00:20:10,314 --> 00:20:17,655
<i>♪ ♪</i>

388
00:20:23,243 --> 00:20:26,747
- I wondered where you've been.

389
00:20:28,540 --> 00:20:30,959
- Where is he now?
- Darius Chapel?

390
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,504
What's left of him is in
the bottom of Hob's Bay.

391
00:20:34,505 --> 00:20:36,381
- Is there anyone
with an ax to grind

392
00:20:36,382 --> 00:20:38,466
against Luthor who isn't dead?

393
00:20:38,467 --> 00:20:40,718
- Luthor doesn't
leave loose ends.

394
00:20:40,719 --> 00:20:42,679
- There's got to be someone.

395
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,555
- This is who Luthor is.

396
00:20:44,556 --> 00:20:46,391
I care about my people.

397
00:20:46,392 --> 00:20:48,267
Lex only cares about himself.

398
00:20:48,268 --> 00:20:49,936
It doesn't matter
who you are,

399
00:20:49,937 --> 00:20:53,982
he will use you up and throw you
away, never to be seen again.

400
00:20:53,983 --> 00:20:58,945
- Kind of like what happened
with Cheryl Kimble.

401
00:20:58,946 --> 00:21:01,197
- Hold on.

402
00:21:01,198 --> 00:21:03,533
Luthor killed Cheryl?

403
00:21:03,534 --> 00:21:05,243
- I have reason to
believe so, yeah.

404
00:21:05,244 --> 00:21:06,452
Why?
Did you know her?

405
00:21:06,453 --> 00:21:09,038
- A long time ago.

406
00:21:09,039 --> 00:21:12,667
Cheryl was sharp as a tack,
funny as hell.

407
00:21:12,668 --> 00:21:14,377
Knew how to hold
her whiskey, too.

408
00:21:14,378 --> 00:21:15,962
- What did she do for Luthor?

409
00:21:15,963 --> 00:21:19,382
- Well, she left the service
with all kinds of contacts,

410
00:21:19,383 --> 00:21:21,551
some real heavy hitters.

411
00:21:21,552 --> 00:21:23,803
She introduced them to Luthor

412
00:21:23,804 --> 00:21:26,472
so he could start
building his empire.

413
00:21:26,473 --> 00:21:28,433
- But her contacts
became his contacts--

414
00:21:28,434 --> 00:21:30,059
- And he didn't
need her anymore.

415
00:21:30,060 --> 00:21:32,020
- Until he did.

416
00:21:32,021 --> 00:21:34,564
He had her assume an alias,
Gretchen Kelley,

417
00:21:34,565 --> 00:21:38,818
and go on a date
and seduce my dad.

418
00:21:38,819 --> 00:21:43,239
- To do something like that
to someone who loves you,

419
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,908
that's low, even for Luthor.

420
00:21:45,909 --> 00:21:47,660
- Wait a minute.

421
00:21:47,661 --> 00:21:49,662
Cheryl was in love with Luthor?

422
00:21:49,663 --> 00:21:52,290
- They were an item
back in the day.

423
00:21:52,291 --> 00:21:55,251
I think Cheryl got it in her
head she could change him.

424
00:21:55,252 --> 00:21:58,629
I have a feeling that Luthor
might have given her that idea.

425
00:21:58,630 --> 00:22:03,760
- I'm pretty sure that pattern
is repeating itself.

426
00:22:03,761 --> 00:22:09,183
- The thing about a pattern,
it always ends the same.

427
00:22:15,064 --> 00:22:18,775
- Thank you for
your help, Bruno.

428
00:22:18,776 --> 00:22:22,863
I really appreciate it.

429
00:22:24,198 --> 00:22:26,699
- Lois?

430
00:22:26,700 --> 00:22:30,286
I'm glad Superman's back.

431
00:22:30,287 --> 00:22:33,165
Tell him he's still
got work to do.

432
00:22:49,181 --> 00:22:50,765
- How long will it take
for the boys' abilities

433
00:22:50,766 --> 00:22:52,767
to become what mine used to be?

434
00:22:52,768 --> 00:22:54,602
- Kal, your sons are not you.

435
00:22:54,603 --> 00:22:55,978
- How long?

436
00:22:55,979 --> 00:22:59,649
- I'm afraid it
will never happen.

437
00:22:59,650 --> 00:23:01,526
- What if we changed
the training?

438
00:23:01,527 --> 00:23:03,820
- It would make no difference.

439
00:23:03,821 --> 00:23:05,822
Their limitations are genetic.

440
00:23:05,823 --> 00:23:10,159
No half-Kryptonian
could be what you were.

441
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,287
- They shouldn't have to be.

442
00:23:13,288 --> 00:23:17,834
I'm their father.
I'm supposed to protect them.

443
00:23:17,835 --> 00:23:21,462
- And you have,
their entire lives.

444
00:23:21,463 --> 00:23:24,423
- But I'm losing my ability to
do it when I need it the most.

445
00:23:24,424 --> 00:23:26,717
- I understand your
frustration, Kal.

446
00:23:26,718 --> 00:23:30,179
It reminds me of your father.

447
00:23:30,180 --> 00:23:32,557
- But he did protect me.
You both did.

448
00:23:32,558 --> 00:23:34,100
You sent me here.

449
00:23:34,101 --> 00:23:36,435
- And it was the hardest
decision we ever made.

450
00:23:36,436 --> 00:23:38,187
When Krypton was dying,

451
00:23:38,188 --> 00:23:40,690
Jor-El and I spent
many restless nights

452
00:23:40,691 --> 00:23:42,775
trying to find a way
to save our planet.

453
00:23:42,776 --> 00:23:45,653
We refused to give up.

454
00:23:45,654 --> 00:23:48,156
But eventually,
we had to accept our fate.

455
00:23:48,157 --> 00:23:50,950
Fighting wasn't going
to keep you safe

456
00:23:50,951 --> 00:23:53,870
from the danger
we were about to face.

457
00:23:53,871 --> 00:23:58,207
The only thing
that could do that

458
00:23:58,208 --> 00:24:02,045
was to send you away.

459
00:24:04,548 --> 00:24:07,049
- I don't like it either.

460
00:24:07,050 --> 00:24:08,968
- No.
Dad gave up on us too quickly.

461
00:24:08,969 --> 00:24:10,720
I would have stayed
there all day.

462
00:24:10,721 --> 00:24:12,054
- What's the point?

463
00:24:12,055 --> 00:24:13,514
He already saw
what he needed to see.

464
00:24:13,515 --> 00:24:15,933
- OK, well,
I actually believe in us.

465
00:24:15,934 --> 00:24:19,312
- Jon, I'm a literal
cautionary tale.

466
00:24:19,313 --> 00:24:22,648
Mom and Dad told me so many
times that I wasn't ready.

467
00:24:22,649 --> 00:24:23,941
And you know what?
They were right.

468
00:24:23,942 --> 00:24:25,484
- Please, don't make
this another one

469
00:24:25,485 --> 00:24:27,069
of your pity parties.

470
00:24:27,070 --> 00:24:29,113
- I'm not.

471
00:24:29,114 --> 00:24:31,449
All I'm saying is that
sometimes Dad is right,

472
00:24:31,450 --> 00:24:35,328
and we have to accept
what we can and can't do.

473
00:24:35,329 --> 00:24:37,705
- OK, fine.

474
00:24:37,706 --> 00:24:40,958
Maybe we can't beat
Luthor's suit yet.

475
00:24:40,959 --> 00:24:44,128
But do you think Dad can?

476
00:24:44,129 --> 00:24:45,963
- I don't know.

477
00:24:45,964 --> 00:24:48,090
Maybe.
- You heard him.

478
00:24:48,091 --> 00:24:52,220
Dad said the suit almost killed
him when he was at his best.

479
00:24:52,221 --> 00:24:56,433
Now that he's not,
how can he beat it?

480
00:24:58,727 --> 00:25:01,479
How can anyone?

481
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,940
<i>- That was a real risk
you took, Ms. Lane.</i>

482
00:25:03,941 --> 00:25:06,984
<i>- It was the only way to save
the people that I love.</i>

483
00:25:06,985 --> 00:25:09,111
<i>- That monster
killed your father.</i>

484
00:25:09,112 --> 00:25:12,031
<i>What made you even think
to approach it?</i>

485
00:25:12,032 --> 00:25:13,950
<i>- That night when
it killed my dad,</i>

486
00:25:13,951 --> 00:25:17,161
<i>it looked right at me,
almost like it knew me.</i>

487
00:25:17,162 --> 00:25:20,790
<i>And it wasn't until later that
I realized, in a way, it does.</i>

488
00:25:20,791 --> 00:25:23,125
<i>- What do you mean?</i>

489
00:25:23,126 --> 00:25:26,837
<i>- The person that monster
once was cared for me,</i>

490
00:25:26,838 --> 00:25:30,466
<i>or another version of me
in the other world.</i>

491
00:25:30,467 --> 00:25:33,552
<i>- You mean the world from
the Ally Allston incident?</i>

492
00:25:33,553 --> 00:25:37,139
<i>- That's where he came from,
through a breach in the mines.</i>

[button clacks]

494
00:25:38,809 --> 00:25:40,810
- I know where it is.
- Great.

495
00:25:40,811 --> 00:25:44,480
We can make sure
never to go there.

496
00:25:44,481 --> 00:25:45,982
- Is the suit ready?

497
00:25:45,983 --> 00:25:48,651
- I just need a few hours
to finish arming it.

498
00:25:48,652 --> 00:25:50,820
- Send it to me
when you're done.

499
00:25:50,821 --> 00:25:53,239
I'm headed to Smallville.

500
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,241
- Smallville?

501
00:25:55,242 --> 00:25:56,867
Why would you want
to go back there?

502
00:25:56,868 --> 00:25:59,913
- To visit an old friend.

503
00:26:04,876 --> 00:26:06,460
- Never thought you'd be able
to get Luthor back on track.

504
00:26:06,461 --> 00:26:07,753
- Prison took its toll,

505
00:26:07,754 --> 00:26:11,299
but we're finally
putting that behind us.

506
00:26:11,300 --> 00:26:12,842
- Luthor doesn't put
anything behind him.

507
00:26:12,843 --> 00:26:14,760
But you should
know that by now.

508
00:26:14,761 --> 00:26:18,806
- Tell the board
I'll be right up.

509
00:26:18,807 --> 00:26:21,058
If you're here
about the lawsuit--

510
00:26:21,059 --> 00:26:24,186
- I'm here to warn you
that you're in danger.

511
00:26:24,187 --> 00:26:26,230
- Wow, you really
are desperate.

512
00:26:26,231 --> 00:26:30,693
- How much do you know
about Cheryl Kimble?

513
00:26:30,694 --> 00:26:33,154
Did you know that
she was the old you?

514
00:26:33,155 --> 00:26:35,740
- I think you're giving
