Smallville

Previously on Smallville...

- What's with the wardrobe malfunction? - What?

Where you going all dressed up?

When a guy likes a girl, he asks her out.

I'm a true believer in this red-and-blue super dude.

- Hello? - Can I count on you to publish that

letter if anything happens to me?

I have to see you.

How do you feel about phone booths? Let's say midnight?

Tess Mercer, acting CEO of LuthorCorp.

You're my boss?

Clark, if you don't want to admit your true identity, that's fine.

But we both know that Davis Bloome isn't a man.

- He's a beast. -

Lex knew that orb wasn't from this Earth.

There's life inside it that can't be released

until the Traveler kills the beast.

Use the ring. Send Doomsday to the future.

Oliver crossed the line. He killed Lex Luthor.

You're making a big mistake.

You're not one of us anymore.

Say that Clark Kent buttoned up in a starched shirt and tie

but then, when he's playing hero...

He steps out of the shadow and there's red and blue,

creating two completely separate identities?

I love you.

May Henry James Olsen rest in peace.

Jimmy wanted to know that no matter where I was in this city,

I could look up here and see this beacon, the Watchtower.

I'm the reason Jimmy's dead.

- What are you saying? - Goodbye, Chloe.

Clark Kent is dead.

And now, the season premiere of Smallville.

Lois Lane. My cousin has been missing for three weeks.

Yes, I'm the same woman who called yesterday, and the day before that

and pretty much every day for the last few weeks,

because I have not been getting any answers to my...

You know what? Don't worry about the second cursor on-screen.

I just hacked into your system

because you have been so completely unhelpful that I can't...

I wouldn't come further unless you're interested in an impromptu nose job.

Dr. Hamilton.

If you would be so kind as to lower the nine mm Jericho 941.

I prefer Emil.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

I've just been haunted by my own share of ghosts lately.

And the gun?

After everything that's happened,

being here alone, it's the only way I can sleep.

Did Ollie send you? I've been calling him nonstop lately.

I know.

I think you can stop calling.

Obviously he's not gonna answer.

They're gone, Chloe. All of them.

They're not gone.

Ollie, Dinah, Bart. They're just vanished off the grid, but not...

They don't wanna be found.

Jimmy died because they turned on each other.

And now they have to live with that guilt.

I'm sure that Jimmy's death is haunting Clark every day,

but he still does everything he can

to make sure that Metropolis is still protected.

And he seems to be doing an adequate job without his sidekick.

What the hell?

Oh, my God.

Somebody save me.

Let your warm hands Break right through.

Somebody save me.

Don't care how you do it.

Just stay, stay.

Come on

I've been waiting for you.

Just stay with me.

I've made this whole world Shine for you.

Just stay, stay.

Come on.

Kal-El, my son, you are distracted.

When you decided to return to your training I assumed you were ready.

I've been coming here for weeks.

I've done everything you ask. Why are you questioning me now?

Until today, you had focus.

You had cleared your mind and heart

of those who had kept you tethered to the human realm.

If there's anything that's keeping me tethered, it's that I still can't fly.

Have I not earned the powers that Kara has?

Your powers lie within you, Kal-El.

Your physical composition is no different than your cousin's.

You saying it's all in my head?

You still see yourself as a human.

You're wrong.

I gave up everyone I cared about.

I gave up everyone who was important to me.

I wear the symbol of our family every day

to remind me that I have a different destiny.

Perhaps you've tried to move on oo quickly.

The test of a true hero is to struggle with feelings of loss

and to overcome them, not to avoid them.

Something or someone is holding you back.

No.

I've come this far, and I'm not looking back.

I can do this.

Can I get a doctor over here?

Come on, I need some help here.

Lo.

The desk nurse called me. Where have you been?

What happened to you?

Um, Tess was rambling about some alien orb

and then we threw down in the middle of the Daily Planet

and... wham, I wake up in a monorail car with some ninja chick after me.

Alien orb?

Lo, I think maybe you just bumped your head in the accident.

Wait. Where have I been?

You were the one playing Thelma & Louise

with the creature from the black lagoon.

How did you manage to ditch Davis?

I didn't exactly ditch Davis.

- Lo... - It was the Red-Blue Blur, wasn't it?

I knew it.

He promised me he'd save you, and he did.

That means he's still alive. The train.

He saved the train too, didn't he?

You've been talking to the Blur?

Yes, he sort of confides in me.

Of course he does.

Holy, it's almost midnight. I promised I'd meet him. I'm gonna be late.

Lois, you are way beyond late, okay? You just need to slow down.

There's something you need to know.

He is the one who can help me escape from the jaws of crouching tigers.

I'm sorry, Chlo, whatever it is, it's gonna have to wait.

No, Lois, you need to wait.

Okay? I've got kind of a big bomb I need to drop on you.

Okay.

You know what? You're right. I...

I probably just took one on the noggin, and now I'm flipping out.

I think I could use a sedative. It's been kind of a long day.

I'll get you two.

Hello?

No, no, no.

Maybe you're not calling because you're here.

Hello?

Look, I know what you did for Chloe. At least let me thank you.

Look, I'm sorry I'm late.

I promise you can trust me.

Please?

I know you're out there somewhere.

Where are you?

Isn't it time to move beyond these mental trials?

Your determination is strong, my son.

But just as your passion will be your greatest strength,

so too will it be your greatest obstacle.

Jimmy died because of me

and I can't afford to let another mistake like that happen.

You sent me here to fulfill a destiny.

Tell me what you need from me.

Kal-El, you do not need me to tell you what is standing in your way.

You already know, and you know what you need to do.

I have to say goodbye to her.

I lost their trail.

There must be more of us out there.

What about the woman? Has she spoken yet?

No, sir.

Permission to speak freely.

Major, the woman isn't an ally.

She's hiding something.

And you think I am too.

Why don't we have the powers we should under a yellow sun?

My authority is being questioned by two budding cadets.

We deserve to know what happened to us. How did we get here?

- That is enough. - Does anybody know we're here?

Salute.

Kneel.

Kneel before Zod.

Oliver, I don't know where you've disappeared but I'm low one superhero.

Chloe thinks I'm crazy

and I'm low on clues as to why some she-ninja is after me.

Call me.

Good find?

Look, on a scale of one to ten of illegal things I've done in my life,

this doesn't even hit the radar.

Okay, that didn't exactly come out right.

All I'm saying is that you and your big boys in blue

have bigger fish to fry than this little guppy, so I'm just gonna...

How about a name?

Lois Lane, Daily Planet.

Lane?

You're the reporter that's been missing for three weeks?

Missing?

What the hell are you talking about? What day is it?

It's Friday, the 25th.

What?

Where the hell have I been for three weeks?

I was kind of hoping you'd tell me.

You were MIA until your name came up on the list of crash victims.

Now, do you remember anything last night

that would explain how a seven-ton SkyTrain

belly flops onto Main Street without a single fatality?

Guess we just need to chalk it up to a modern-day miracle.

We could, or we could chalk it up to a vigilante on an ego trip.

Oh, is that what we call "courage" these days?
