Superman & Lois

Previously On "Superman & Lois"...

Let's just focus on what we came here for: Family.

We need to stop Kal-El before he does to this world

what he did to mine.

I just want what's best for this town.

Right now, it seems pretty clear to me

that that's Morgan Edge bringing jobs in.

Edge was giving people powers,

messing with their minds to control them.

And people on this town are gonna want answers.

They're gonna be looking for somebody to blame,

and I'm pretty sure

I'm gonna be at the top of that list.

Prepare for our arrival.

There's no saving my brother now.

Leave now.

Jordan!

He has vowed his submission, Father.

- And the Eradicator? - Taken from his possession.

John, it's happening just like you said it would.

I think Superman's been turned.

Welcome back, sir.

For the last time, it's John.

Were you able to find her?

She must have gone home already.

Shall we try her residence?

The townhouse is 25 yards due east.

Let me find a parking spot.

Scans indicate she's the passenger

in the taxi on your left.

You could easily catch her.

John, if you wish to connect

with this world's version of your younger sister,

now is your chance.

Lois?

John, it's happening,

just like you said it would.

I think Superman's been turned.

It's been a long time since you've felt pain,

hasn't it, Kal?

Or perhaps you've never felt it,

which will make this process all the more excruciating.

Pain is a weakness my father removed from me

after I arrived here.

I remember it, though.

Wanting nothing more than my suffering to end.

All you have to do is submit,

and yours will cease.

- Listen to me. - You gave me you word, Kal.

- Please... - Submit.

I can help you, brother.

I am not your brother!

You rejected me. Remember?

Rejected your family, your own people, for them.

So be it.

Delay the inevitable.

Fight as long as you can, but eventually,

you will fade as this new mind comes to light.

Not even Superman is strong enough

to resist the will of Zod.

- - What do we do?

We can't do anything.

We have to. We have to.

Like what?

I don't know We need to think, Jon.

We have to think.

Boys, he's gonna be okay.

Mom...

- Edge just took off with him. - I know.

He said we'll never see him again.

Yeah, I know, honey,

and I know how scary that sounds.

I know it doesn't seem like it right now,

but your dad has been in worse spots than this,

and he always gets through them.

I've been dealing with this for 20 years.

Trust me.

Your dad will fight through this, and he will win.

It's not gonna do either of you any favors

by staying up all night.

Try to get some sleep.

Go on.

DOD satellites are scanning airspace across the globe.

We know they departed here,

but lost them after that.

That place he goes to,

his fortress,

I know its location is a secret, I get it,

but we might want to start there.

He's not there.

I think Edge has one too though.

He mentioned his was in the desert.

Hmm.

I'll adjust our search grid.

Pumpkin.

Feeling okay about today, babe?

- Well, let's see. -

I got to go downtown

for a mandatory military check-in.

Some doc's are gonna swab me.

A shrink's gonna ask me questions

about being mind-controlled,

to make sure our brains are just ours.

So yeah, I'm great.

Can't you call off work, Dad?

I mean, shouldn't you stay home with us

and, I don't know, just rest?

- - Look, I'd love to, mija,

but I think I need to get back into some sort of routine.

You know, go to the station, see my team,

get back to normal.

I got it.

Tamera.

Sorry for the house visit, Chief.

Something wrong?

Look, I overheard some of the guys

talking this morning, knowing you were coming in.

Mm-hmm?

There's some concern, Chief.

About what?

About me.

You vouched for Morgan Edge.

After what happened, well, people are angry.

Okay, but all I was trying to do was bring jobs in,

get investors to bet on this town.

- I don't... - I get it, Chief.

I do. But maybe just take a few days.

Give people a minute to cool off.

I'm sorry.

Hey. Eat anything yet?

Not hungry.

Have you heard anything that they've said?

They got nothing.

All this state-of-the-art tech,

and they can't do anything.

We can though. Jordan, listen.

When dad was attacked by John Irons,

you heard him, and then we found where he was.

Yeah, they were a couple miles away.

So?

So Dad could be anywhere in the entire world.

Why does that matter?

It just does.

Jordan, Dad said that he can hear all of the fluctuations

in the collective sonic frequency.

Yeah, but he also said that it took years

of training at the fortress in order to do that.

Jordan, listen to me.

This is just like punching that training log

in the cellar, okay? It's just like it.

You could do it,

but you had to believe you could do it.

And can do this, too.

Yeah, well, there's too many people here.

Okay, so let's find a spot.

Come on, you can do this.

Come on.

And Superman's last known location was this farm?

That's right.

Edge came after me and the boys

after Superman saved everyone.

Edge was turning to create his army.

And then Superman just agreed

to have his consciousness replaced?

To spare our lives and buy us some time,

but he signaled me.

He wanted me to contact you

so that we could find Edge and stop him.

And you think they're somewhere in the desert, Sam?

Based on intelligence we've gathered, yes.

John, you know better than anyone

what's at risk here.

- I do. - Which is why we need

your help to come up with a rescue plan.

A rescue plan?

Lois, Superman must have known

there was a chance he'd be turned.

If he signaled you to bring me in,

he knows the likelihood is, there is only one hope.

To save this world, I need to put him down

by any means necessary.

- No, John. - We're not killing Superman.

That's not why I called you.

- You said it yourself. - He signaled you to call me.

Why would he do that?

I don't know why, but I know he's not giving up.

Lois, he knows what he's up against.

He's trying to stop the end of the world.

We do that by saving him.

Look, Superman's our greatest ally

against Morgan Edge.

At this juncture, it would be a tactical error

to rule out a rescue.
