1
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,636
And I need you to understand
that. I need you to get behind that.
2
00:00:31,961 --> 00:00:35,716
These illegal aliens
are stealing our jobs...
3
00:00:36,049 --> 00:00:38,405
they're dodging taxes
and like so many others...
4
00:00:38,676 --> 00:00:41,191
they're thumbing their
noses in the face of truth...
5
00:00:41,472 --> 00:00:43,782
justice and the American way.
6
00:00:51,775 --> 00:00:56,691
It's time to sign off now, but a
big thank you to my loyal followers.
7
00:00:57,071 --> 00:00:59,540
We're small but we're loud.
8
00:00:59,827 --> 00:01:03,264
This is Gordon Godfrey
saying, "Night, you all."
9
00:01:03,581 --> 00:01:06,380
Stand up for the American dream.
10
00:01:32,281 --> 00:01:35,001
You will not be saved.
11
00:01:35,284 --> 00:01:38,436
Don't put your faith
in this hero menace.
12
00:01:38,746 --> 00:01:43,696
I wrote this book because
I am afraid for our nation...
13
00:01:44,084 --> 00:01:47,043
terrified for the innocent
people of this country...
14
00:01:47,337 --> 00:01:52,014
who are counting on these vigilantes
to lift them up out of the darkness.
15
00:01:52,384 --> 00:01:54,376
Out of the darkness
and into the light.
16
00:01:56,723 --> 00:01:59,079
These pretenders
live in shadows...
17
00:01:59,351 --> 00:02:02,981
these creatures lurk in
dark corners of our society.
18
00:02:03,317 --> 00:02:04,876
They claim to uphold laws...
19
00:02:05,110 --> 00:02:07,500
Fifty bucks says the crackpot
with the Blur in his bonnet...
20
00:02:07,780 --> 00:02:09,578
is just gunning
for a little attention.
21
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:12,578
- Lois.
- Hey.
22
00:02:22,463 --> 00:02:25,217
Sorry about the lame
letter. I'm lousy at goodbyes.
23
00:02:26,009 --> 00:02:28,843
No, I just figured that
something happened.
24
00:02:29,137 --> 00:02:31,936
You mean something
like, "Go to Africa, Lois?"
25
00:02:32,223 --> 00:02:35,614
Well, I may... Uh...
Maybe I said that, but I...
26
00:02:35,935 --> 00:02:37,767
I thought you wanted
me to take the job.
27
00:02:38,021 --> 00:02:42,413
No. It... Well... Look, I knew it
was a big break for your career.
28
00:02:44,195 --> 00:02:48,508
Right, well, um, but now
that you're back are we, uh...?
29
00:02:49,743 --> 00:02:50,972
Partners?
30
00:02:51,912 --> 00:02:52,982
Of course.
31
00:02:54,039 --> 00:02:56,508
Unless you're disappointed
I'm not blonder?
32
00:02:57,668 --> 00:02:59,227
Cat.
33
00:02:59,461 --> 00:03:01,896
- No, she's, um...
- Misguided.
34
00:03:02,843 --> 00:03:04,562
Misguided.
35
00:03:05,429 --> 00:03:07,421
She's no Lois Lane.
36
00:03:08,558 --> 00:03:10,595
Well, obviously.
37
00:03:11,103 --> 00:03:13,220
She, uh, actually was
supposed to meet me here.
38
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,915
- We were gonna cover the signing.
- Mm.
39
00:03:16,192 --> 00:03:17,626
Strangest thing
about Miss Grant.
40
00:03:17,860 --> 00:03:19,977
She was, um...
41
00:03:20,237 --> 00:03:23,833
conveniently volunteered to
cover a dogsled race in Alaska.
42
00:03:29,371 --> 00:03:34,844
We know who our real heroes are
and they are not these faceless mutants.
43
00:03:35,504 --> 00:03:38,656
These aberrations,
skulking in the shadows.
44
00:03:38,966 --> 00:03:42,243
Their powers serve their
secret vigilante agenda.
45
00:03:44,889 --> 00:03:47,165
They're really into
this guy, aren't they?
46
00:03:47,559 --> 00:03:51,712
Well, I'm sure the Blur knows that
he is just taking potshots to sell books.
47
00:03:52,939 --> 00:03:55,977
Yeah. I mean, this guy's probably
not even on the Blur's radar.
48
00:03:56,277 --> 00:03:58,314
Serving our country
instead of himself.
49
00:03:58,822 --> 00:04:01,337
And what about this Blur?
50
00:04:01,661 --> 00:04:07,532
A freak. A pariah so disfigured,
he doesn't dare show his face.
51
00:04:07,959 --> 00:04:12,272
Is this the kind of savior you want
your children believing in? I say no!
52
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:16,870
On second thought,
this blustering blowhard...
53
00:04:17,135 --> 00:04:19,650
- just crossed the line.
- I say no to what...
54
00:04:19,931 --> 00:04:23,288
Break out the marshmallows,
Clark, I'm gonna roast this turkey.
55
00:04:23,601 --> 00:04:25,433
Wait, Lois.
56
00:04:26,354 --> 00:04:29,233
I say stop the menace.
57
00:05:05,191 --> 00:05:07,660
Isn't that your cousin, Clark?
58
00:06:16,522 --> 00:06:20,402
"The Maiden of Might."
Seriously. Alliterate much?
59
00:06:21,235 --> 00:06:23,352
I need to find Kara.
60
00:06:24,573 --> 00:06:27,133
Bye-bye, Barbie dream desk.
61
00:06:28,953 --> 00:06:31,832
Maybe someone's figured
out where she flew off to.
62
00:06:32,123 --> 00:06:34,240
I can't believe I just
said that out loud.
63
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:38,050
You must've been pretty surprised
by your cousin's superhero status.
64
00:06:40,006 --> 00:06:42,316
Well, yeah. She
didn't tell me about it.
65
00:06:42,592 --> 00:06:45,346
She must have had a close
encounter with a meteor rock?
66
00:06:46,931 --> 00:06:48,206
Yeah, that's what happened.
67
00:06:48,432 --> 00:06:50,742
She was infected the
last time she was in town.
68
00:06:51,310 --> 00:06:53,779
But why would she
flaunt her special skills?
69
00:06:54,063 --> 00:06:57,295
Coming out is a
terrible, terrible move.
70
00:06:57,609 --> 00:07:01,762
You saw those crowds, Clark.
All their doubts and mistrust.
71
00:07:02,572 --> 00:07:04,529
Yeah, mutant vigilantes.
72
00:07:04,786 --> 00:07:07,904
I can't believe people would
turn on their heroes that fast.
73
00:07:08,206 --> 00:07:10,357
But in the end, Lois,
she did win them over.
74
00:07:11,461 --> 00:07:14,135
You never know.
Maybe if the Blur...
75
00:07:14,422 --> 00:07:16,459
was more honest and
showed his face like Kara...
76
00:07:16,717 --> 00:07:18,754
people would be
able to trust him.
77
00:07:19,011 --> 00:07:21,321
Maybe Godfrey's book
wouldn't get so much attention.
78
00:07:21,597 --> 00:07:23,793
That's a horrible idea.
79
00:07:24,057 --> 00:07:26,652
The Blur got it right and
Kara could learn from him.
80
00:07:26,935 --> 00:07:29,689
By not staying in the shadows,
she not only puts herself in danger...
81
00:07:29,980 --> 00:07:32,211
she puts you in danger too.
82
00:07:32,691 --> 00:07:34,762
She put me in danger?
83
00:07:35,737 --> 00:07:37,649
I mean everyone around her.
84
00:07:38,657 --> 00:07:42,173
All I'm saying is, Ubergirl
makes for a great headline...
85
00:07:42,494 --> 00:07:46,044
but people will swarm her with
love today and crucify her tomorrow.
86
00:07:46,373 --> 00:07:47,648
Think about it, Clark.
87
00:07:47,875 --> 00:07:51,073
Your captivating cuz needs to hide
those baby blues behind glasses...
88
00:07:51,379 --> 00:07:55,419
and go undercover before a hero-hater
like Godfrey turns his sights on her.
89
00:08:02,892 --> 00:08:08,524
Oh, that's great. You're sweet.
You're sexy. You're powerful.
90
00:08:08,943 --> 00:08:11,299
You're the woman of
tomorrow, today. Yeah.
91
00:08:13,447 --> 00:08:14,563
Let's take a break.
92
00:08:15,074 --> 00:08:17,145
Okay. Let's take 5, guys.
93
00:08:20,913 --> 00:08:23,872
It's been a long time,
Kal-El. I missed you.
94
00:08:24,168 --> 00:08:25,887
I missed you too.
95
00:08:26,963 --> 00:08:31,116
A surprise seeing you today.
How long have you been in town?
96
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,231
You didn't come to Earth to be
the first superpowered pin-up girl.
97
00:08:36,932 --> 00:08:40,209
It's critical I get my image around
the city as quickly as possible.
98
00:08:41,645 --> 00:08:45,002
You just have to trust me,
Kal-El. I'm doing this for you.
99
00:08:46,317 --> 00:08:48,957
Kara, this doesn't feel
like much of a favor.
100
00:08:50,739 --> 00:08:56,212
I searched so long for my
mother and I never found her.
101
00:08:57,705 --> 00:09:01,540
You and I are the last
survivors of the House of El.
102
00:09:02,751 --> 00:09:05,664
And after everything we've
been through together...
103
00:09:05,966 --> 00:09:09,437
I had to come back to the one
place in the universe I have family.
104
00:09:10,387 --> 00:09:12,507
Well, what you're doing
right now flies in the face...
105
00:09:12,766 --> 00:09:15,122
of how I've chosen to live
on this planet my whole life.
106
00:09:15,394 --> 00:09:17,431
We both know that.
107
00:09:18,105 --> 00:09:20,905
Now, if you really care about family,
tell me what you're doing here...
108
00:09:21,191 --> 00:09:22,625
and stop avoiding the question.
109
00:09:22,860 --> 00:09:24,817
I didn't want to hurt you.
110
00:09:27,323 --> 00:09:29,838
Jor-El has given me a mission.
111
00:09:30,201 --> 00:09:32,875
And getting my powers and
image around the city are a part of it.
112
00:09:33,538 --> 00:09:35,734
He gave you a mission?
113
00:09:37,418 --> 00:09:39,091
What did he say?
114
00:09:39,337 --> 00:09:44,332
He's let you go,
Kal-El. I'm sorry.
115
00:09:45,802 --> 00:09:47,873
He says you're
no longer his son.
116
00:09:58,023 --> 00:09:59,423
Hi.
117
00:10:09,455 --> 00:10:11,367
Not a bad read.
118
00:10:12,334 --> 00:10:14,454
Would you care to comment
on your embarrassing save...
119
00:10:14,711 --> 00:10:15,861
by a certain girl wonder?
120
00:10:16,088 --> 00:10:18,762
Bless my soul, it's Lois Lane.
121
00:10:19,049 --> 00:10:21,689
If you want a quote,
you'll have to get in line.
122
00:10:22,177 --> 00:10:25,329
You can save your holier-than-thou,
made-for-TV platitudes...
123
00:10:25,682 --> 00:10:27,753
and drown them in
some holy water, mister.
124
00:10:28,685 --> 00:10:33,202
I've had enough of you blindly
taking potshots at Metropolis' heroes.
125
00:10:34,066 --> 00:10:35,500
Heh.
126
00:10:35,735 --> 00:10:39,695
You call yourself a journalist, but you're
just a blind follower of these vigilantes.
127
00:10:40,364 --> 00:10:43,755
One of these so-called
vigilantes just saved your skin.
128
00:10:44,368 --> 00:10:48,282
She risked people's lives in a ploy to
undermine the message of my book.
129
00:10:49,958 --> 00:10:54,237
She may fly, but I have a feeling
that blond bimbo is no angel.
130
00:10:54,588 --> 00:10:56,181
I have people investigating.
131
00:10:56,424 --> 00:11:00,304
They're going to find something on
her and the other superpowered mutants.
132
00:11:01,929 --> 00:11:04,922
How would you feel if someone
started poking around in your life?
133
00:11:06,226 --> 00:11:07,899
I have nothing to hide.
134
00:11:08,147 --> 00:11:12,460
But I do know one vigilante
who does. Green Arrow.
135
00:11:13,403 --> 00:11:15,793
A connection of mine,
who has toyed with him...
136
00:11:16,074 --> 00:11:21,513
gave me evidence that the Archer
is really a certain depraved playboy.
137
00:11:22,455 --> 00:11:23,969
Your ex-boyfriend, I believe.
138
00:11:25,834 --> 00:11:27,632
His secret identity
will be revealed...
139
00:11:27,877 --> 00:11:31,507
when I release the final chapter
of my book online tomorrow.
140
00:11:32,465 --> 00:11:35,981
Even his true believers'
faith will be shaken.
141
00:12:23,691 --> 00:12:28,322
Wow. Mortal Kombat
meets woodchipper. I like it.
142
00:12:28,697 --> 00:12:30,973
You have more to worry
about than a 2-by-4.
143
00:12:31,242 --> 00:12:34,918
Ah. I'm glad to see that Africa managed
to survive the whole Lois Lane invasion.
144
00:12:35,246 --> 00:12:38,125
Tell me, what brings Little
Miss Cut-and-Run back to town?
145
00:12:38,708 --> 00:12:40,301
- Destiny.
- That old thing?
146
00:12:40,543 --> 00:12:42,063
- Mm-hm.
- You're not fooling anyone...
147
00:12:42,212 --> 00:12:45,046
racking up these airline miles. I
know all about preemptive strikes.
148
00:12:45,340 --> 00:12:47,172
Hurt them first so
you don't worry about...
149
00:12:47,426 --> 00:12:48,746
how you're gonna let them down.
150
00:12:48,969 --> 00:12:51,279
Then you give them
whiplash by racing back.
151
00:12:51,556 --> 00:12:53,707
Easy with the dress-down,
I just ran for the hills...
152
00:12:53,975 --> 00:12:56,490
because I thought I was
gonna mess things up for Clark.
153
00:12:56,770 --> 00:12:59,239
We are so different,
it... Not a bad different...
154
00:12:59,523 --> 00:13:03,073
I just don't know how his chocolate
and my peanut butter are gonna mix.
155
00:13:03,402 --> 00:13:04,402
Huh.
156
00:13:04,611 --> 00:13:07,570
I've never known you to
surrender to anyone or anything.
157
00:13:07,864 --> 00:13:09,856
I'm not actually
here to talk about me.
158
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,759
There is a guy,
Gordon Godfrey...
159
00:13:11,997 --> 00:13:14,387
and he thinks that Green
Arrow is my ex-boyfriend.
160
00:13:15,125 --> 00:13:16,844
- He does?
- Mm-hm.
161
00:13:18,505 --> 00:13:20,622
I think we just leave
him alone, you know?
162
00:13:20,882 --> 00:13:22,760
Let the blowhard
blow himself out.
163
00:13:23,009 --> 00:13:26,320
In the meantime, I can handle a few
slings and arrows. Sure you can too.
164
00:13:26,638 --> 00:13:28,470
Oliver, Godfrey's got proof.
165
00:13:28,766 --> 00:13:33,045
He has a secret chapter about
you he's gonna post online tomorrow.
166
00:13:33,396 --> 00:13:34,876
He knows who you are.
167
00:13:37,984 --> 00:13:40,135
Well, maybe people
deserve to know the truth.
168
00:13:40,404 --> 00:13:43,920
People deserve to be saved. And it's
safer for you if you're in the shadows.
169
00:13:44,283 --> 00:13:46,275
- It's safer for all the heroes.
- Maybe.
170
00:13:46,536 --> 00:13:49,973
Or maybe the cost of keeping my secret
is too high and it's time to pay the piper.
171
00:13:50,290 --> 00:13:53,522
If you're not gonna kick this
creep to the curb, then I will.
172
00:13:58,965 --> 00:14:03,994
Gordon, that interview was hot,
hot, hot. But we have a problem.
173
00:14:04,387 --> 00:14:09,018
Your final chapter's going online
tomorrow and I haven't seen it.
174
00:14:09,393 --> 00:14:11,828
I kept the only copy close
to me for safekeeping.
175
00:14:12,108 --> 00:14:13,828
Didn't want it getting
into the wrong hands.
176
00:14:13,985 --> 00:14:16,465
Well, I'm your publicist, don't
you think I should take a look?
177
00:14:17,697 --> 00:14:19,097
The secret stays with me.
178
00:14:20,408 --> 00:14:23,287
Okay, well, I guess
I have to trust you.
179
00:14:23,578 --> 00:14:25,258
I don't know what's
gotten into you lately.
180
00:14:25,414 --> 00:14:27,334
Three weeks ago you
were a small-time radio host.
181
00:14:27,583 --> 00:14:29,336
Now the whole city's listening.
182
00:14:29,586 --> 00:14:32,420
I need you to take me further.
183
00:14:32,714 --> 00:14:37,027
I wanna be on every television, in
every paper, on every computer screen.
184
00:14:37,386 --> 00:14:39,457
I want to touch every soul.
185
00:14:39,722 --> 00:14:42,317
The whole world? Exactly
how do you propose to do that?
186
00:14:43,391 --> 00:14:47,988
If I can plant an idea, a
seed of doubt within people...
187
00:14:48,355 --> 00:14:53,430
it will grow until it devours their
faith in each other and in these heroes.
188
00:14:53,862 --> 00:14:57,572
Faithless, they'll be ready
to be led down a new path.
189
00:14:58,367 --> 00:15:01,439
Humans are the best
architects of their own undoing.
190
00:15:01,745 --> 00:15:05,534
All you have to do is give them
enough rope, they'll hang themselves.
191
00:15:06,876 --> 00:15:07,876
Take it easy, Gordon.
192
00:15:08,085 --> 00:15:10,600
You sounded a little
scary there. Ha, ha.
193
00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:13,716
Why don't you take
a break tonight?
194
00:15:13,970 --> 00:15:15,848
Let off some steam.
195
00:15:16,097 --> 00:15:18,089
I'll call you later.
196
00:15:33,282 --> 00:15:34,875
Take me to Club Desaad.
197
00:15:36,077 --> 00:15:38,069
Yes, sir.
198
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:53,116
I know about your little
shortcut to the Fortress.
199
00:15:55,348 --> 00:15:57,419
Give me the key. I
wanna talk to my father.
200
00:15:57,684 --> 00:16:00,677
There's no point in
confronting Jor-El.
201
00:16:01,271 --> 00:16:02,990
He disowned me and
I want to know why.
202
00:16:03,232 --> 00:16:05,269
This is bigger than just Jor-El.
203
00:16:08,030 --> 00:16:09,623
A darkness has come to Earth.
204
00:16:09,865 --> 00:16:12,460
I've been trying to draw it
towards me so I can stop it.
205
00:16:12,746 --> 00:16:16,456
I was the one sent to Earth to protect
it. Jor-El should have come to me.
206
00:16:18,043 --> 00:16:21,719
- He said you're not ready.
- He's afraid that I'll fail.
207
00:16:22,047 --> 00:16:25,404
After all the trials and all the
training that I've gone through.
208
00:16:25,717 --> 00:16:28,312
He's the one who's confused,
because I know my own destiny.
209
00:16:29,972 --> 00:16:34,683
Kal-El, you think you
have all the answers...
210
00:16:35,062 --> 00:16:38,692
but the evil that's coming is
like nothing you've ever seen.
211
00:16:39,525 --> 00:16:42,359
It takes advantage
of people's doubts.
212
00:16:42,778 --> 00:16:45,088
There's nothing out
there I can't handle.
213
00:16:45,364 --> 00:16:48,562
Pretty strong words from a guy who
can't even figure out his own powers.
214
00:16:50,411 --> 00:16:52,130
It's the truth, Kal-El.
215
00:16:52,747 --> 00:16:57,424
You've been on Earth all
this time and you can't even fly.
216
00:16:58,713 --> 00:17:01,069
You can't come at this thing
without all of your abilities.
217
00:17:01,341 --> 00:17:03,298
But what if you can't
fight it on your own?
218
00:17:05,846 --> 00:17:09,726
You'd rather put the world at risk
and trust Jor-El than believe in me?
219
00:17:15,024 --> 00:17:17,061
You're my only family.
220
00:17:17,527 --> 00:17:19,359
And I need your help.
221
00:17:28,832 --> 00:17:31,188
I liked it better when I
was showing you the ropes.
222
00:17:31,459 --> 00:17:33,974
I guess change is in the air.
223
00:17:37,174 --> 00:17:39,484
I guess this is
easy for you, huh?
224
00:17:39,927 --> 00:17:41,646
No, it's...
225
00:17:41,971 --> 00:17:44,566
No, it's not easy or hard.
226
00:17:44,975 --> 00:17:46,295
It just is.
227
00:17:46,518 --> 00:17:50,353
I mean, I reach for the sky
and the world just falls away.
228
00:17:51,315 --> 00:17:54,592
I'm not thinking of anything.
I'm just in the moment.
229
00:18:05,121 --> 00:18:08,114
When I try to clear my
mind, the more I hear.
230
00:18:13,255 --> 00:18:15,531
Kal-El, instead of trying
to force the noise out...
231
00:18:15,803 --> 00:18:19,399
why don't you just
focus on one thing...
232
00:18:20,141 --> 00:18:21,336
like that butterfly?
233
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,120
Live inside that one noise.
234
00:18:32,279 --> 00:18:34,839
Make it your whole world.
235
00:18:59,893 --> 00:19:00,929
It was a start.
236
00:19:03,730 --> 00:19:06,529
It's not flying if
it's mostly falling.
237
00:19:07,150 --> 00:19:08,743
I'm sorry.
238
00:19:08,986 --> 00:19:11,023
I shouldn't have gone
against your father's wishes.
239
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,352
- I shouldn't have helped you.
- I just need to figure it out.
240
00:19:14,658 --> 00:19:18,447
You're doubting your powers.
You're frustrated, you can't focus.
241
00:19:18,791 --> 00:19:19,941
You are not ready.
242
00:19:20,167 --> 00:19:21,965
I'm not gonna stand
here and do nothing.
243
00:19:22,212 --> 00:19:25,330
The darkness came through a
rip in the universe three weeks ago.
244
00:19:26,008 --> 00:19:30,321
You think it's just gonna wait around
until you're ready? Just leave it to me.
245
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,194
Three weeks ago?
246
00:19:33,266 --> 00:19:35,735
What? What is it?
247
00:19:36,018 --> 00:19:37,611
I think I know how it came here.
248
00:19:48,949 --> 00:19:51,748
You said the darkness came
through a tear in the universe.
249
00:19:52,828 --> 00:19:54,820
It made sense.
250
00:19:55,081 --> 00:19:56,879
Three weeks ago I
was on this rooftop...
251
00:19:57,125 --> 00:19:59,515
and I opened a portal
using the Book of Rao.
252
00:20:00,170 --> 00:20:03,766
If the darkness came through a
gateway, maybe it can leave through one.
253
00:20:07,678 --> 00:20:11,672
I've used my bracelet
before to open a portal.
254
00:20:13,393 --> 00:20:15,589
This dark force
is like a disease.
255
00:20:15,854 --> 00:20:18,085
How did it become so powerful?
256
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:21,797
It can see your
thoughts and feelings.
257
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,671
It can find the one morsel of doubt that
even the purest person doesn't realize...
258
00:20:25,992 --> 00:20:27,221
they have inside them.
259
00:20:27,452 --> 00:20:32,572
It can possess you, but it can't
possess someone who's pure of spirit.
260
00:20:32,958 --> 00:20:35,553
Who has true clarity of
purpose. But your father...
261
00:20:35,837 --> 00:20:38,306
Thinks it'll prey upon some
weakness inside of me.
262
00:20:39,049 --> 00:20:40,483
Kal-El.
263
00:20:40,717 --> 00:20:45,473
If this dark force possesses
someone with abilities like yours...
264
00:20:45,973 --> 00:20:49,603
you could be the greatest
weapon this planet has ever seen.
265
00:21:22,473 --> 00:21:24,226
Mom.
266
00:21:24,727 --> 00:21:25,727
Hey, Dad.
267
00:21:28,648 --> 00:21:30,799
I've been, um...
268
00:21:33,486 --> 00:21:39,517
really trying to live my life in a way
that would make you proud of me.
269
00:21:43,288 --> 00:21:46,167
I, uh, sort of feel
like I've let you down.
270
00:21:52,341 --> 00:21:54,253
You always said the
most important thing...
271
00:21:54,510 --> 00:21:56,422
was taking care of
others and I, uh...
272
00:21:59,931 --> 00:22:01,604
I tried.
273
00:22:05,103 --> 00:22:09,097
But I failed at that.
274
00:22:13,363 --> 00:22:16,117
The woman that
I, uh... That I love...
275
00:22:21,750 --> 00:22:27,428
She sacrificed everything
to protect me. And, um...
276
00:22:32,470 --> 00:22:35,383
And I'm sort of trying to
figure out how to live with that.
277
00:22:44,984 --> 00:22:48,102
I can't have other people
risking their lives for me.
278
00:22:52,450 --> 00:22:54,646
This has to stop.
279
00:23:01,085 --> 00:23:02,235
I'm sorry.
280
00:24:15,378 --> 00:24:18,974
You look like a man who
needs a little corrupting.
281
00:24:20,220 --> 00:24:25,136
I'm on the hunt for
a little distraction.
282
00:24:26,892 --> 00:24:31,444
I think the hunter has
become the hunted.
283
00:24:38,948 --> 00:24:42,020
Well, well, well.
284
00:24:42,869 --> 00:24:44,303
Huh.
285
00:24:47,165 --> 00:24:48,804
You've been a bad boy.
286
00:24:50,836 --> 00:24:53,067
So...
287
00:24:54,923 --> 00:24:55,923
Ooh.
288
00:24:56,133 --> 00:24:58,364
- Dangerous.
- Ha-ha-ha.
289
00:24:59,428 --> 00:25:00,908
What's your favorite tool?
290
00:25:01,847 --> 00:25:03,918
Oh, uh...
291
00:25:04,184 --> 00:25:06,380
Oh, I'm pretty good
with a torque wrench.
292
00:25:06,645 --> 00:25:07,645
Huh.
293
00:25:07,855 --> 00:25:09,972
Kinky. I'm a torque
wrench virgin.
294
00:25:10,232 --> 00:25:15,387
Oh, ha-ha-ha. Now.
Hands off the merchandise.
295
00:25:28,380 --> 00:25:32,613
Ha, ha. Let's just put
these up here, huh?
296
00:25:33,677 --> 00:25:36,636
Looks like somebody
likes to be punished, huh?
297
00:25:36,931 --> 00:25:38,604
Mm-hm.
298
00:25:39,350 --> 00:25:41,228
Now, where were we?
299
00:25:48,068 --> 00:25:52,585
Yo, spray-on-latex
sisters. Hook a mistress up?
300
00:25:53,741 --> 00:25:58,133
You, sin on a stick, you just, you
know, smash your body up against his.
301
00:25:58,497 --> 00:26:02,776
And you, you are the girl
his mama warned him about.
302
00:26:11,885 --> 00:26:15,276
That's right. Make him pay.
303
00:26:15,974 --> 00:26:18,250
There we go.
304
00:26:22,358 --> 00:26:25,112
Now that you've got
me under your control...
305
00:26:25,403 --> 00:26:27,474
what are you going
to do with me?
306
00:26:27,739 --> 00:26:32,291
Girls, why don't you go and
spank each other or something?
307
00:26:32,661 --> 00:26:35,779
Things are about
to heat up in here.
308
00:26:37,291 --> 00:26:38,566
Ooh.
309
00:26:50,890 --> 00:26:52,609
Gotcha.
310
00:26:56,103 --> 00:26:57,822
Impressive.
311
00:26:58,063 --> 00:27:01,374
Great photos. Definitely
page-one material.
312
00:27:01,692 --> 00:27:04,685
You're a formidable
woman, Lois Lane.
313
00:27:04,989 --> 00:27:06,742
You're seething with ambition.
314
00:27:07,658 --> 00:27:09,251
With you it's all
about the byline.
315
00:27:09,493 --> 00:27:11,849
You'll do anything,
sacrifice anyone for the story.
316
00:27:12,413 --> 00:27:15,326
Oh, that's a little
harsh, don't you think?
317
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,224
How much are those
photos worth to you?
318
00:27:20,171 --> 00:27:22,845
Maybe I can give you
something that's worth more.
319
00:27:23,386 --> 00:27:25,901
What if I shared my evidence
condemning Oliver Queen...
320
00:27:26,181 --> 00:27:27,979
and gave you the
banner headline?
321
00:27:28,225 --> 00:27:31,582
Tempting, but nobody's gonna
believe a word you have to say...
322
00:27:31,896 --> 00:27:34,172
after they see all
these sexy photos.
323
00:27:36,443 --> 00:27:40,881
Done and done. You're
officially fodder for the tabloids.
324
00:27:42,323 --> 00:27:45,600
I don't care about
the photos, Lois.
325
00:27:47,078 --> 00:27:50,230
Wow. Heh. Wow, they were fake?
326
00:27:50,540 --> 00:27:54,853
But I guess the purple feathers should
have been a dead giveaway, huh?
327
00:27:56,047 --> 00:27:57,640
Hey.
328
00:27:59,509 --> 00:28:02,661
I can see that
you're pure of heart.
329
00:28:02,971 --> 00:28:04,963
It's too bad.
330
00:28:05,224 --> 00:28:07,455
Taking over that body
would have been fun.
331
00:28:09,979 --> 00:28:13,655
Back off, buddy, or I am gonna
burn all the fur off your arms.
332
00:28:31,547 --> 00:28:33,507
And I thought the Fortress
was your only hideaway.
333
00:28:33,716 --> 00:28:35,756
It's called Watchtower. It's
more of a command post.
334
00:28:36,010 --> 00:28:37,524
I banded together
a group of heroes.
335
00:28:37,762 --> 00:28:41,392
A lot's changed since the
last time I saw you, Kal-El.
336
00:28:42,518 --> 00:28:44,111
Maybe Jor-El underestimated you.
337
00:28:44,645 --> 00:28:46,477
This is how we
access the news feeds.
338
00:28:46,731 --> 00:28:50,486
We should cast a wide net, the host
is probably in a leader with influence.
339
00:28:55,115 --> 00:28:57,186
This Godfrey guy,
he's everywhere.
340
00:28:59,244 --> 00:29:01,042
He's got a personal
vendetta against heroes.
341
00:29:01,288 --> 00:29:05,919
Any citizen who's been a victim of
the vigilante menace, you're not alone.
342
00:29:06,294 --> 00:29:08,126
They pretend to be
your saving grace...
343
00:29:09,131 --> 00:29:12,329
then they turn on you
and violate your trust.
344
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,355
These vigilantes are
committing crimes...
345
00:29:15,638 --> 00:29:16,913
and getting away with it.
346
00:29:17,139 --> 00:29:19,051
Open your eyes, people.
347
00:29:19,307 --> 00:29:21,547
How many times do you hear
about victims who were mugged?
348
00:29:21,810 --> 00:29:24,200
- Do you hear that?
- They don't know who it was!
349
00:29:24,482 --> 00:29:26,553
It's called super speed, folks.
350
00:29:26,818 --> 00:29:29,731
Lawless mutants, like the
Blur, are using this power...
351
00:29:30,030 --> 00:29:31,030
That's it.
352
00:29:31,241 --> 00:29:34,154
- To prey on the masses.
- The darkness is in Godfrey.
353
00:29:34,452 --> 00:29:35,568
They're predators.
354
00:29:35,787 --> 00:29:38,018
He's been public, so
can't be hard to find him.
355
00:29:38,290 --> 00:29:39,440
Driven by dark.
356
00:29:40,209 --> 00:29:42,485
Okay, I have a street
security camera with a limo.
357
00:29:42,753 --> 00:29:45,393
Looks like Godfrey was
downtown a few hours ago.
358
00:29:45,673 --> 00:29:47,392
The driver with Godfrey.
359
00:29:52,430 --> 00:29:54,342
That's Lois.
360
00:30:16,664 --> 00:30:19,418
Congratulations, Lois.
361
00:30:20,253 --> 00:30:23,929
You've proven yourself a
true believer of these vigilantes.
362
00:30:25,511 --> 00:30:29,710
And your saintly suffering is just
the lure I need to bring the Blur to me.
363
00:30:33,061 --> 00:30:36,896
Fight all you want. You won't
be able to escape your fate.
364
00:30:50,414 --> 00:30:51,689
What is this place?
365
00:30:51,916 --> 00:30:55,432
It's kind of hard to explain,
but just try to blend in.
366
00:30:55,752 --> 00:30:58,142
Are you sure that Lois' cell
phone was tracked here?
367
00:30:58,422 --> 00:31:01,142
According to the computers
at the Watchtower, yeah.
368
00:31:01,425 --> 00:31:03,781
Let's split up. We'll
cover more ground.
369
00:31:16,609 --> 00:31:19,647
Godfrey, I'm here for Lois.
370
00:31:20,738 --> 00:31:23,014
That's too bad.
371
00:31:23,866 --> 00:31:26,745
Her idealism and blind faith
in the vigilantes she loves...
372
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,114
has gotten her in
way over her head.
373
00:31:31,836 --> 00:31:34,988
What have you done
with her? Let her go.
374
00:31:35,299 --> 00:31:41,330
Lois has served her purpose.
She brought one of you to me.
375
00:31:46,143 --> 00:31:48,863
Are you sure you
can win against me?
376
00:31:49,147 --> 00:31:52,265
You know what I am.
377
00:31:54,944 --> 00:31:56,901
You know the
doubt in your heart.
378
00:32:00,159 --> 00:32:03,675
You so-called heroes
are false gods, all of you.
379
00:32:03,997 --> 00:32:07,673
And when people stop believing
in you, you'll shatter like glass.
380
00:32:08,001 --> 00:32:10,721
Just tell me! Where is she?
381
00:32:11,380 --> 00:32:13,258
I can see it.
382
00:32:13,507 --> 00:32:15,976
Underneath all
of that bravado...
383
00:32:16,260 --> 00:32:19,617
you're afraid you'll never
be the hero you want to be.
384
00:32:21,183 --> 00:32:22,902
You wish you could kill me.
385
00:32:24,019 --> 00:32:26,090
And I'm not the only
one. I can see that.
386
00:32:26,355 --> 00:32:28,790
You've felt this way before.
387
00:32:30,196 --> 00:32:35,225
Your heart is racing. You're at war
with yourself, the turmoil is overwhelming.
388
00:32:35,617 --> 00:32:38,052
- Where is she?
- There is darkness in you...
389
00:32:38,328 --> 00:32:39,808
and great power.
390
00:32:40,039 --> 00:32:41,951
I think we'll go far
together, you and I.
391
00:32:42,207 --> 00:32:43,607
I will never help you.
392
00:32:43,834 --> 00:32:44,984
You won't have a choice.
393
00:33:09,488 --> 00:33:11,241
Are you all right?
394
00:33:13,451 --> 00:33:15,647
It's like it could
see inside me.
395
00:33:45,197 --> 00:33:46,426
Are you all right?
396
00:33:50,285 --> 00:33:52,595
I think it's time to
blow this bondage ball.
397
00:34:02,508 --> 00:34:05,148
Somebody should put Godfrey
in some serious restraints.
398
00:34:05,428 --> 00:34:08,944
Who knew Mr. Family
Values had such a dark side?
399
00:34:09,265 --> 00:34:11,575
Godfrey's not so special.
400
00:34:11,850 --> 00:34:14,081
There's two sides to everyone...
401
00:34:15,521 --> 00:34:16,637
even heroes.
402
00:34:16,856 --> 00:34:21,055
Kara, off the record, what
is it like to have powers?
403
00:34:22,654 --> 00:34:28,810
Lois, since I've had my abilities, I
haven't been beholden to anyone.
404
00:34:29,415 --> 00:34:33,045
And I feel like there's
nothing holding me back...
405
00:34:33,377 --> 00:34:35,175
and I'm free.
406
00:34:36,339 --> 00:34:38,251
That's too bad.
407
00:34:38,925 --> 00:34:40,757
I mean, it's great.
408
00:34:41,011 --> 00:34:45,802
It's just, you're such a bang-up gal.
I thought it might get a little lonely.
409
00:34:48,978 --> 00:34:52,892
Maybe it's easier to be a hero when
you don't have somebody tying you down.
410
00:34:53,233 --> 00:34:57,022
I'm sure you think of
people without powers as...
411
00:34:57,821 --> 00:35:00,416
Well, differently?
412
00:35:00,698 --> 00:35:03,657
You know, it's easy for
people to just see the powers...
413
00:35:03,952 --> 00:35:06,387
and not the person behind them.
414
00:35:08,957 --> 00:35:11,597
I guess even heroes need
someone to come home to, huh?
415
00:35:27,937 --> 00:35:29,656
How's that for
tying up loose ends?
416
00:35:31,444 --> 00:35:35,757
It's gonna take more than a loudmouth
with a deviant sex life to stop me.
417
00:35:37,034 --> 00:35:39,503
A buddy of mine at the
Inquisitor ran it for me...
418
00:35:39,787 --> 00:35:42,939
since leather and lace
really isn't Planet fare.
419
00:35:43,499 --> 00:35:47,413
Lois, I think you went too far trying
to discredit this annoying hero-basher.
420
00:35:47,754 --> 00:35:48,870
You could have been killed.
421
00:35:49,088 --> 00:35:51,808
Godfrey was undermining
Metropolis' faith in its defenders.
422
00:35:52,091 --> 00:35:53,889
I couldn't just stand
by and let that happen.
423
00:35:54,135 --> 00:35:56,855
Well, what you did
was brave, but...
424
00:35:57,847 --> 00:35:59,566
Between you and
me, I was terrified.
425
00:36:01,769 --> 00:36:05,160
My worst fear is to be alone
in the world without heroes.
426
00:36:08,901 --> 00:36:12,611
Thank God, Ubergirl...
Powergirl? Megagirl?
427
00:36:12,947 --> 00:36:14,984
Was there to save
me from the gallows.
428
00:36:15,450 --> 00:36:17,521
Your cousin needs
a better handle.
429
00:36:18,203 --> 00:36:21,992
Well, just remember that
heroes like her or the Blur...
430
00:36:24,293 --> 00:36:26,808
Put them on too high a
pedestal, they might let you down.
431
00:36:27,714 --> 00:36:31,424
Thanks, Clark, but I get it that
the superpowered are people too.
432
00:36:31,763 --> 00:36:35,723
They wrestle with their own
flaws, but the Blur is different.
433
00:36:38,603 --> 00:36:40,560
He's my hero.
434
00:36:40,981 --> 00:36:44,657
No matter what he's afraid of, I
know he'll always be there for me.
435
00:36:56,415 --> 00:36:58,884
Excuse me. I'm sorry.
436
00:36:59,710 --> 00:37:01,429
Kara?
437
00:37:02,296 --> 00:37:04,527
What do you think
of my new look?
438
00:37:05,258 --> 00:37:08,695
I think you look completely
different. Why the sudden cover-up?
439
00:37:09,679 --> 00:37:12,717
You can't save people when
you're the center of attention.
440
00:37:13,726 --> 00:37:17,083
But I'm not going anywhere until I
know Earth is safe from the darkness.
441
00:37:19,107 --> 00:37:20,541
It could be anywhere.
442
00:37:21,276 --> 00:37:22,426
Look, I was wondering.
443
00:37:22,652 --> 00:37:27,408
Your bracelet seemed to repel
the darkness, not send it away.
444
00:37:27,782 --> 00:37:30,013
I don't think the bracelet
will work as a portal.
445
00:37:30,284 --> 00:37:33,641
The dark spirit is
trapped inside of a host.
446
00:37:33,958 --> 00:37:37,269
But you're superpowered. Why
wouldn't the darkness want you?
447
00:37:38,631 --> 00:37:40,065
It's because
you're pure of spirit.
448
00:37:40,299 --> 00:37:44,134
That's why you could never lure the
darkness to you with all of your saves.
449
00:37:44,470 --> 00:37:46,427
I don't feel pure of spirit.
450
00:37:47,390 --> 00:37:49,950
I have just as many
issues as anyone else.
451
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,058
But still, you risked
your soul to save me.
452
00:37:52,312 --> 00:37:53,792
And if you hadn't
jumped between us...
453
00:37:54,022 --> 00:37:56,457
The dark spirit would
have possessed you, Kal-El.
454
00:37:57,401 --> 00:37:59,836
Like he could see things
in me I didn't want to face.
455
00:38:00,112 --> 00:38:05,187
Now imagine that creature
wielding all of your powers.
456
00:38:06,703 --> 00:38:08,581
People of this planet
would be doomed.
457
00:38:10,541 --> 00:38:13,739
You sound like my father,
that I was destined to fail.
458
00:38:15,462 --> 00:38:17,613
Failure is something
we have to live with...
459
00:38:18,924 --> 00:38:21,758
but it's how you overcome
it that defines you.
460
00:38:26,683 --> 00:38:29,278
I know this isn't
easy for you...
461
00:38:29,895 --> 00:38:32,854
but I need you to leave
the darkness to me.
462
00:38:34,903 --> 00:38:37,941
This isn't your fight.
463
00:38:53,257 --> 00:38:55,931
Makes you wonder if we put
too much faith in vigilantes.
464
00:39:01,224 --> 00:39:04,456
Maybe the Blur isn't
the hero he thinks he is.
465
00:39:07,897 --> 00:39:09,490
Who's your mama?
466
00:39:09,732 --> 00:39:11,325
- Is that a trick question?
- Ha-ha-ha.
467
00:39:11,568 --> 00:39:12,688
What's, uh...? What is this?
468
00:39:12,902 --> 00:39:15,371
That is the only copy of the
chapter on Green Arrow...
469
00:39:15,656 --> 00:39:17,932
that Godfrey was
gonna reveal today.
470
00:39:18,201 --> 00:39:19,954
Yours truly picked
Godfrey's pocket...
471
00:39:20,203 --> 00:39:23,162
so you can rest assured
your secret is safe.
472
00:39:25,709 --> 00:39:26,984
Hmm.
473
00:39:27,878 --> 00:39:30,268
"Wow, Lois, 007's
got nothing on you.
474
00:39:30,547 --> 00:39:32,618
You're a brilliant and
talented super sleuth."
475
00:39:33,846 --> 00:39:35,519
Thank you. I appreciate it.
476
00:39:35,764 --> 00:39:38,438
I know how much trouble you
must have gone to to get this.
477
00:39:38,726 --> 00:39:44,040
But I can't have the people that I
love fighting my battles for me any more.
478
00:39:45,818 --> 00:39:47,218
What is this?
479
00:39:47,445 --> 00:39:50,722
Does this have anything to do with
why Chloe took an extended vacation?
480
00:39:51,032 --> 00:39:52,751
About that.
481
00:39:53,533 --> 00:39:56,571
Chloe's not catching a tan on
a beach like I told you she was.
482
00:39:56,870 --> 00:39:58,668
The truth is...
483
00:39:59,456 --> 00:40:02,096
she left, and I don't
think she's coming back.
484
00:40:02,626 --> 00:40:05,698
- What happened? Is she okay?
- She's okay, she's fine...
485
00:40:06,006 --> 00:40:08,246
but when the person that
you love knows your secret...
486
00:40:08,509 --> 00:40:09,749
it becomes their secret too.
487
00:40:09,969 --> 00:40:12,089
She was willing to give
up everything to protect it...
488
00:40:12,305 --> 00:40:13,785
which, unfortunately,
included me.
489
00:40:14,390 --> 00:40:18,464
Wait, I think that she
probably just needs space.
490
00:40:18,811 --> 00:40:21,690
I know how she feels
about you, she'll be back.
491
00:40:23,650 --> 00:40:25,482
I hope you're right...
492
00:40:26,778 --> 00:40:28,735
because this has
gone on long enough.
493
00:40:31,284 --> 00:40:33,044
What's happening? What
are you doing, Oliver?
494
00:40:35,542 --> 00:40:37,420
Doing what I have to.
495
00:40:39,796 --> 00:40:42,470
- Send them in, please.
- Yes, sir.
496
00:40:50,682 --> 00:40:51,957
Thank you all for coming.
497
00:40:53,186 --> 00:40:55,417
I've brought you here to
make an announcement.
498
00:40:55,688 --> 00:40:59,045
People have these
so-called vigilantes all wrong.
499
00:40:59,734 --> 00:41:02,647
There's only one way for
me to set the record straight.
500
00:41:04,990 --> 00:41:06,743
I am Green Arrow.
