Smallville

Previously on Smallville...

We didn't find him. He found us.

I could have swore I hit you.

So, what are you, man or superman?

I haven't figured it out yet.

You are the last son of Krypton.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Gold meteorite?

It could take away his powers.

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

Not according to Jor-El.

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

You may not see me as a hero,

but the rest of the world does!

And I decide my fate!

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."

"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."

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
