Superman and Lois - Third Season

- Previously on "Superman and Lois"...

- You were a liability today, and I can't have that.

- We didn't need your help. - I've been training for this.

- I've been training, too. - And I have heat vision!

And you're taking coffee orders!

- Mr. Cushing found ice inside the store.

He thinks someone with powers put out the fire.

Mom, this is Natalie.

- It's so nice to finally meet you.

Hey, look, your dad's here.

- Finish this! -

- I have to take her now, or she's going to die.

- That'll keep her powers from working while she's here.

- She doesn't have much time left.

- There is so much stuff here on Bruno

that I've never seen before.

- All the years we spent investigating

in the Metropolis, we couldn't make anything stick.

- I think this is how we nail him.

- The Natural History Museum has a really great event space.

- Not a fan of taxidermy, even the prehistoric kind.

- Okay, what about the Botanical Gardens?

Simone said they're magnifique.

- They are, which is why I have been to six--

six weddings there.

God, Harry's has the best fries.

- Okay, Lois, Lois, we need to figure this out.

Most venues in the city have to be booked a year in advance.

- Clark, the space has to represent us as a couple.

So I don't care how long it takes.

The right spot will be worth waiting for,

just like you were worth waiting for.

- Oh, when you put it that way...

- Lois, you hear? They just announced the Metties.

- Janet, the Metropolitan Press Club

wouldn't know good journalism if it hit them in the face.

- Lois, you got nominated. - What?

- It's the award for Journalistic Excellence

for the piece you wrote on Henry Miller.

- Oh, my goodness, Lois, next to the Pulitzer,

this is the highest honor in journalism you can get.

- Not to mention the fanciest gala you'll ever be invited to.

- I don't know what to say or what to wear.

I don't have a gala-worthy dress.

- Then go get yourself something nice

'cause your chances of winning are pretty darn good.

I know you're anxious.

But I have some good news.

Your scans look really good. - Okay.

So just one more round of chemo.

- We'll do more scans to make sure afterwards, but...

I think it's time we start talking next steps.

Boys, we need your stuff!

Hey.

Do you mind not telling Mom and Dad about Mr. Cushing yet?

About which part--

that he may fire me because you're a careless idiot

or that he thinks there's a superhero in this town

because you're a careless idiot?

Both.

Look, man, I promise I'll take it easy for a while.

I guess Mom and Dad have enough going on right now.

Thank you.

- Thought this was just a Harvest Fest thing.

When I was a kid,

the town used to do clothing drives all the time.

I'm glad Mom is bringing it back.

- We said no holes, no underwear.

And somehow, you've given us both.

Are you going to the firehouse today?

- Uh, no, not this weekend.

What's that about?

Beats me.

- It's like pulling teeth sometimes.

- You wanted more kids. -

It, uh, seems like you're feeling better.

Yeah, a little.

- You think maybe, uh, once this last round

of chemo's behind us, we move you back upstairs?

Yeah, maybe.

I'm going to go get my stuff.

- Okay, honey, so just put the pants together,

sweaters, shoes.

- Hey, uh, we brought what we could.

- John. Hey, Nat.

Clark told me what happened.

Do you have a minute?

Don't go anywhere.

That bad?

- Dude, he took my phone, put a tracking device on my bracelet,

and made me this. - What is that?

- Basically a retractable nightstick

that could kill a rhino. -

He's just trying to protect you.

Hey, I-I get it.

Your boyfriend did turn out

to be the head of Intergang's son.

- Yeah, well, he's not my boyfriend...

at least not anymore.

How you two holding up?

- Last few days have been rough,

especially for Nat.

She's, uh--she's really torn up about Matteo.

- And the woman who attacked us is Matteo's mom?

Yeah, now she's at the DOD.

I won't feel safe until we have Mannheim locked up, too.

I mean, he tried to kill you.

Isn't that enough to put him away?

- Not when you have the kind of lawyers he does.

- You know you can talk to me, right?

- Do you mind if Nat hangs with Sarah?

- No, of course not. Why?

Mannheim wants to talk.

So what's the plan here?

- There's no way in hell he's going to admit to anything.

Find out what he wants, then we go from there.

Hold on.

I'm running this.

John--

- Look, this is more my fight than yours.

We talked about this.

I agree.

Diggle went to you first for a reason.

John Henry should take point on this one.

I think this is a mistake.

- Mr. Mannheim would like to see his wife.

I'm sure.

First...

we need everything he stole from the DOD--

Superman's blood, X-Kryptonite from the Shuster Mines,

the Bizarro Corpse.

- You have proof he stole these items?

- We will. - But you don't.

Nor do you have just cause to keep my client

from seeing his very sick wife.

Updates on her condition are not enough.

- Your wife...

is a murderer and a violent superhuman weapon.

Peia is dying!

Then give us what we want.

I will see my wife...

one way or another.

- Hey, you got a sec?

- Not really. I needed to get this story out ten minutes ago.

- It's about the Metties. - Yeah, I'm not going.

What?

- Those awards aren't about real journalism.

They're a popularity contest.

- Uh, but I got you something.

- What kind of something? - You'll see.

Clark, it's beautiful.

This is the first dress anyone's ever bought for me.

Me too.

I mean, it's-- it's the first dress

I've ever bought for someone.

That wasn't cheap.

Please tell me you didn't sell a kidney.

- I wish. It was my baseball-card collection.

- Even your Cal Ripken rookie?

- Since it was in mint condition, I got a fair price.

Clark.

- Hey, hey, you are worth more than any rookie card.

- That is the most romantic thing

anyone has ever said to me. -

- Do you have money left for a tux?

I will have to rent one...

if you're asking me to be your date.

- Clark Kent, will you be my date to the Metties?

Mm-hmm.

- You're wrong about this. We need to let Bruno see Peia.

- Not until he meets our demands.

- You're keeping a husband from his dying wife.

- They're both murderers. - I know what they've done.

- Then stop letting your emotions play into it.

We have leverage here.

This is how we get Bruno to do what we want.

- If the goal is to get Bruno to cooperate,

then I should talk to him-- I know what he's going through.

- He will just use that against you.

I won't give him the chance.

- Remember who you're dealing with.

Don't let him cloud your judgment

because of everything going on with Lois.

I just want to see him.

I mean, everything in the restaurant was so chaotic,

we didn't even get to talk.

- I mean, he had to have known about his parents, right?

- It didn't feel like that. I mean, he seemed surprised.

Or he could be a good actor.
