1
00:00:00,994 --> 00:00:02,394
Previously on Smallville...
2
00:00:02,485 --> 00:00:03,787
He's never
gonna tell me, is he?
3
00:00:03,887 --> 00:00:04,811
I'm The Blur.
4
00:00:05,033 --> 00:00:06,211
And you're still okay
with that?
5
00:00:06,354 --> 00:00:07,404
Are you kidding me?
6
00:00:07,618 --> 00:00:08,819
What took you so long?
7
00:00:09,570 --> 00:00:11,238
- Daddy.
- General Lane.
8
00:00:11,289 --> 00:00:13,707
I'm the senior military advisor
on the new bill,
9
00:00:13,741 --> 00:00:14,923
the Vigilante Registration Act.
10
00:00:15,027 --> 00:00:16,878
You're searching for enemies
where they don't exist.
11
00:00:18,796 --> 00:00:20,363
As soon
as you're threatened,
12
00:00:20,381 --> 00:00:22,466
everyone else's rights
go out the window?
13
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:25,309
This is the signal for the
Suicide Squad, led by Rick Flag.
14
00:00:25,409 --> 00:00:26,926
To him, you're all
freedom fighters.
15
00:00:27,255 --> 00:00:29,089
America's
turning against us.
16
00:00:29,140 --> 00:00:31,341
More superheroes
are coming over to my side.
17
00:00:33,811 --> 00:00:35,145
I am Green Arrow.
18
00:00:35,179 --> 00:00:36,680
What inspired you to become
the masked archer?
19
00:00:36,714 --> 00:00:38,231
You're damn right
I'm a hero.
20
00:00:38,266 --> 00:00:39,850
And I'm not
doing it alone.
21
00:00:39,884 --> 00:00:41,485
Name's Arthur Curry.
22
00:00:41,519 --> 00:00:43,770
Perimeter breached.
Proceeding to target.
23
00:00:43,821 --> 00:00:46,990
Don't put your faith
in this hero menace!
24
00:00:56,591 --> 00:00:58,736
Liberty, freedom, equality --
25
00:00:58,789 --> 00:01:00,323
these are the values
26
00:01:00,374 --> 00:01:02,826
that we have been charged
with defending.
27
00:01:02,877 --> 00:01:05,795
And never in the history
of this country
28
00:01:05,830 --> 00:01:09,933
have these principles been so
threatened as they are today.
29
00:01:09,967 --> 00:01:11,818
With all due respect,
Slade,
30
00:01:11,852 --> 00:01:14,604
our troops have worked hard
to secure this time of peace.
31
00:01:14,639 --> 00:01:16,373
The threat is within.
32
00:01:18,509 --> 00:01:20,460
Creeping up
on a sleeping nation.
33
00:01:21,696 --> 00:01:23,980
Gentlemen, every person
under our protection
34
00:01:24,015 --> 00:01:26,032
lies in wait for that leader
35
00:01:26,067 --> 00:01:28,218
that will rescue them
from poverty,
36
00:01:28,252 --> 00:01:30,370
from violence,
even from sadness.
37
00:01:30,404 --> 00:01:33,173
They will hail him
as their new hero.
38
00:01:33,207 --> 00:01:36,476
Heroes like Joseph Stalin
39
00:01:36,494 --> 00:01:40,530
Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein.
40
00:01:40,581 --> 00:01:42,982
In the hearts
of their countrymen,
41
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,817
these men rose as saviors...
42
00:01:44,835 --> 00:01:46,503
Only turning into tyrants
43
00:01:46,537 --> 00:01:49,723
once they had secured the trust
of their nation.
44
00:01:49,757 --> 00:01:51,675
You're not
suggesting a coup.
45
00:01:52,910 --> 00:01:54,827
The trust
of the American people
46
00:01:54,845 --> 00:01:58,998
doesn't lie in the Oval Office
anymore, Admiral,
47
00:01:59,016 --> 00:02:01,667
but in a new breed of hero.
48
00:02:03,938 --> 00:02:05,838
Every year,
49
00:02:05,856 --> 00:02:09,242
this league grows while
the nation turns a blind eye.
50
00:02:09,276 --> 00:02:10,310
Two weeks ago,
51
00:02:10,344 --> 00:02:12,028
the bombing
of an anti-vigilante office
52
00:02:12,063 --> 00:02:13,563
was an open act
of terrorism.
53
00:02:13,614 --> 00:02:16,566
Which is why the President
appointed me
54
00:02:16,617 --> 00:02:19,736
to oversee
the Vigilante Registration Act.
55
00:02:19,787 --> 00:02:23,373
Since the VRA
came into effect,
56
00:02:23,407 --> 00:02:25,858
even known offenders
haven't agreed to sign up.
57
00:02:25,876 --> 00:02:28,311
Well, that is about to change.
58
00:02:47,598 --> 00:02:49,715
Make sure everyone's out.
59
00:02:49,734 --> 00:02:51,151
Hurry.
60
00:02:57,324 --> 00:02:59,576
Sir, we have a breach
61
00:02:59,610 --> 00:03:01,111
at Poseidon 34-59.
62
00:03:01,162 --> 00:03:03,196
Gentlemen,
even as we speak,
63
00:03:03,230 --> 00:03:07,083
it looks like we have fallen
under another vigilante assault,
64
00:03:07,118 --> 00:03:09,953
this time on one
of our own installations.
65
00:03:10,004 --> 00:03:14,090
It's time we took these "heroes"
under our control
66
00:03:14,125 --> 00:03:17,844
and proved who is really
fighting for truth,
67
00:03:17,878 --> 00:03:20,149
justice, and the American way.

84
00:04:29,691 --> 00:04:33,355
It appears this Suicide Squad
used a subdermal fluorescer
85
00:04:33,455 --> 00:04:36,501
with just enough Blue Kryptonite
to penetrate the skin
86
00:04:37,646 --> 00:04:40,064
but not impact
your powers...
87
00:04:40,115 --> 00:04:43,401
Or limit your mysterious
globe-trotting.
88
00:04:43,452 --> 00:04:45,571
Secret meetings with your cousin
around the world --
89
00:04:45,891 --> 00:04:47,609
not exactly like you,
Clark.
90
00:04:47,643 --> 00:04:48,893
It's nothing
I can't handle.
91
00:04:48,927 --> 00:04:50,979
You could have warned me
this would sting a little.
92
00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:53,364
He'll probably give you
a lollipop when you're done.
93
00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:55,433
Thought we all agreed I was
permanently sequestered
94
00:04:55,451 --> 00:04:57,151
from Watchtower --
what's with the 911?
95
00:04:57,203 --> 00:04:59,770
Emil found a way to get the
Suicide Squad's tags out of us.
96
00:04:59,788 --> 00:05:01,489
I assume you were careful
coming in?
97
00:05:01,540 --> 00:05:02,874
Careful doesn't even cut it
these days.
98
00:05:02,908 --> 00:05:03,958
Are you kidding me?
99
00:05:03,993 --> 00:05:05,243
I'm throwing out
some of my best moves
100
00:05:05,277 --> 00:05:06,761
just to avoid the public eye
long enough to get up here.
101
00:05:06,795 --> 00:05:09,297
Well, the Registration Act's
not gonna make it any easier.
102
00:05:09,331 --> 00:05:10,798
As much as I hate
to admit it,
103
00:05:10,833 --> 00:05:12,400
Flag saw
this whole thing coming.
104
00:05:12,434 --> 00:05:14,252
His guerilla tactics --
105
00:05:14,286 --> 00:05:16,137
they don't seem so crazy now,
do they?
106
00:05:16,171 --> 00:05:17,639
At least someone's fighting back
against the VRA.
107
00:05:17,673 --> 00:05:19,957
The only problem is
no one knows they exist.
108
00:05:19,975 --> 00:05:22,010
So we're taking
all the heat.
109
00:05:22,061 --> 00:05:24,412
Oliver, the government thinks
we're the ones retaliating.
110
00:05:24,446 --> 00:05:26,464
After last night,
they're right.
111
00:05:28,317 --> 00:05:29,734
We think A.C. set off
an explosion
112
00:05:29,768 --> 00:05:31,236
at an offshore oil rig.
113
00:05:32,738 --> 00:05:34,656
It's not the first time
he's gone Che Guevara
114
00:05:34,690 --> 00:05:36,074
just to protect
the big blue,
115
00:05:36,108 --> 00:05:37,475
and let's face it --
116
00:05:37,493 --> 00:05:39,494
now that the VRA's got all of us
looking over our shoulders,
117
00:05:39,528 --> 00:05:41,796
team communication's gone
from full bars to no signal.
118
00:05:41,830 --> 00:05:43,414
Yeah, but whatever
he's up to,
119
00:05:43,449 --> 00:05:44,832
he's only
feeding the fear
120
00:05:44,867 --> 00:05:46,918
that the government
already has about us.
121
00:05:46,952 --> 00:05:48,970
We need to prove
that we're the good guys,
122
00:05:49,004 --> 00:05:50,288
not the terrorists.
123
00:05:50,322 --> 00:05:51,873
Yeah, no, great.
124
00:05:51,924 --> 00:05:53,824
And I wish things were all kittens
and rainbows, too, Clark.
125
00:05:53,842 --> 00:05:55,510
But thanks to Godfrey,
the McCarthy of the microphone,
126
00:05:55,544 --> 00:05:56,878
people don't trust us
the way they used to.
127
00:05:56,929 --> 00:06:00,265
Now, the VRA's propaganda
machine is in full swing.
128
00:06:03,719 --> 00:06:05,836
Sometimes, Clark,
words are the greatest weapon.
129
00:06:05,854 --> 00:06:08,640
Can't say
that I blame 'em.
130
00:06:08,674 --> 00:06:11,142
We came in and took the law
into our own hands.
131
00:06:11,176 --> 00:06:13,061
People need to believe
in this country
132
00:06:13,112 --> 00:06:15,280
and the systems that have been
here for centuries.
133
00:06:15,314 --> 00:06:16,648
I do.
134
00:06:16,699 --> 00:06:18,182
Really? Oh, well,
hey, you know what?
135
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,233
That's a good idea.
136
00:06:19,285 --> 00:06:20,451
Why don't you just
march on in there
137
00:06:20,486 --> 00:06:21,602
and go ahead
and sign up?
138
00:06:23,355 --> 00:06:25,690
Maybe it's time.
139
00:06:25,708 --> 00:06:28,025
The government has its eyes set
on The Blur
140
00:06:28,043 --> 00:06:29,310
more than anyone else.
141
00:06:29,345 --> 00:06:31,796
Nothing would prove that
we're all on the same side
142
00:06:31,830 --> 00:06:33,548
more than The Blur
registering.
143
00:06:35,384 --> 00:06:37,552
Clark, Lady Liberty
may have her arms wide open,
144
00:06:37,586 --> 00:06:38,553
but it's not for a hug.
145
00:06:38,587 --> 00:06:39,721
Look, the longer we hide,
146
00:06:39,755 --> 00:06:41,205
the more it looks like
we have a reason to.
147
00:06:43,192 --> 00:06:45,376
If no one registers,
they'll come after us all.
148
00:06:46,812 --> 00:06:50,548
Well, I guess it's time for me
to fulfill my patriotic duty.
149
00:06:52,151 --> 00:06:54,485
Clark, there's no need for you
to compromise your identity
150
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,603
when I already have.
151
00:06:55,654 --> 00:06:56,821
You go rein in Flipper...
152
00:06:56,855 --> 00:06:59,157
I'll see if I can find
what they have planned for us
153
00:06:59,191 --> 00:07:01,492
when we sign our lives over
to good old Uncle Sam.
154
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,210
I miss you, too, Clark.
155
00:07:20,629 --> 00:07:22,263
Since the passing
of the registration bill,
156
00:07:22,297 --> 00:07:25,767
no vigilante
has yet to step forward,
157
00:07:25,801 --> 00:07:27,685
raising public suspicions --
until today.
158
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,771
Who is the mysterious patriot
in our midst?
159
00:07:32,808 --> 00:07:33,858
Lois.
160
00:07:35,093 --> 00:07:37,928
Psst.
161
00:07:37,946 --> 00:07:39,280
Let me guess --
162
00:07:39,314 --> 00:07:42,316
you woke up feeling odd
with fang marks on your neck?
163
00:07:42,368 --> 00:07:44,152
No. Uh, it took three cars,
two sets of stairs,
164
00:07:44,203 --> 00:07:45,737
and a body double
just to get me here,
165
00:07:45,771 --> 00:07:47,071
so, quick --
the, uh, vigilante signing --
166
00:07:47,105 --> 00:07:48,156
are you covering that?
167
00:07:48,207 --> 00:07:49,991
I wouldn't miss it
for the world.
168
00:07:50,042 --> 00:07:51,409
Great.
169
00:07:51,443 --> 00:07:53,161
I have serious concerns
about the legitimacy
170
00:07:53,212 --> 00:07:54,829
of this mystery hero.
171
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,964
Who would be stupid enough
to stand up and register?
172
00:07:56,999 --> 00:07:58,332
Me.
173
00:08:00,452 --> 00:08:02,253
Are you out
of your mind?
174
00:08:02,287 --> 00:08:05,289
The VRA's a steaming pile
of Spanish Inquisition
175
00:08:05,307 --> 00:08:08,092
served up with a side
of fear and loathing.
176
00:08:08,126 --> 00:08:09,427
Gee, Lois, why don't you just
go ahead
177
00:08:09,461 --> 00:08:11,145
and say what you really feel
about this whole thing?
178
00:08:11,180 --> 00:08:13,030
We have to find out what happens
when someone registers.
179
00:08:13,065 --> 00:08:14,665
Yeah. I get it.
180
00:08:14,700 --> 00:08:15,850
Somebody needs
to be the hero,
181
00:08:15,901 --> 00:08:17,151
and you're the only one
that is...
182
00:08:17,186 --> 00:08:18,603
You stick your foot
in your mouth any further,
183
00:08:18,637 --> 00:08:20,188
and you might end up
losing a shoe.
184
00:08:20,239 --> 00:08:23,991
I wasn't the first one to volunteer
for operation guinea pig.
185
00:08:24,026 --> 00:08:25,493
Your boyfriend was.
Okay?
186
00:08:25,527 --> 00:08:26,911
So, I may be taking
the plunge,
187
00:08:26,945 --> 00:08:28,379
but I talked Clark
off the ledge.
188
00:08:28,414 --> 00:08:31,349
He never told me he was even
thinking about registering.
189
00:08:31,383 --> 00:08:32,850
Oh.
190
00:08:32,885 --> 00:08:35,887
You know, I'm sure he was --
he was going to.
191
00:08:35,921 --> 00:08:39,123
Really? When?
With his one phone call?
192
00:08:39,158 --> 00:08:41,042
Lois, just 'cause
you register,
193
00:08:41,093 --> 00:08:43,211
that doesn't mean
that you're under arrest.
194
00:08:43,262 --> 00:08:44,946
Who knows what it means?
195
00:08:46,365 --> 00:08:48,349
Here I thought Clark and I
were finally driving
196
00:08:48,383 --> 00:08:50,051
on the
honest-relationship road,
197
00:08:50,102 --> 00:08:52,520
and then -- bam --
blindsided.
198
00:08:52,554 --> 00:08:54,472
So, what?
199
00:08:54,540 --> 00:08:56,274
He'll ask my opinion
on what tie to wear
200
00:08:56,308 --> 00:08:57,508
but not on whether
to show the world
201
00:08:57,526 --> 00:08:58,910
his real work uniform?
202
00:08:58,944 --> 00:09:01,813
I don't think Clark purposely
left you out of the loop.
203
00:09:01,847 --> 00:09:03,314
It's even worse.
204
00:09:03,348 --> 00:09:05,983
It slips his mind to mention
something this big to me,
205
00:09:06,017 --> 00:09:07,635
but he'll discuss it
with you?
206
00:09:10,205 --> 00:09:12,707
And with other people.
207
00:09:14,543 --> 00:09:16,577
Unbelievable.
208
00:09:16,628 --> 00:09:17,862
Look -- we both know
209
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,881
Clark has this overdeveloped
sense of responsibility.
210
00:09:19,915 --> 00:09:21,198
Agreed?
211
00:09:21,216 --> 00:09:23,868
That's why if something
goes south with my registration,
212
00:09:23,886 --> 00:09:26,203
we can't let Clark
try to fix it on his own. Okay?
213
00:09:26,221 --> 00:09:28,222
For his sake,
for everyone else's.
214
00:09:29,475 --> 00:09:31,392
The world needs you,
Lois.
215
00:09:44,613 --> 00:09:46,647
A.C., we need to talk!
216
00:09:50,476 --> 00:09:52,660
I'm past talking, Clark.
217
00:09:52,695 --> 00:09:56,331
I've got greater
responsibilities now.
218
00:09:57,272 --> 00:09:58,249
Blowing up oil rigs?
219
00:09:59,048 --> 00:10:00,726
Is that responsible?
220
00:10:00,826 --> 00:10:02,159
Check your sources.
221
00:10:02,194 --> 00:10:03,661
I didn't hurt anyone.
222
00:10:03,695 --> 00:10:05,329
Don't make me start now.
223
00:10:05,363 --> 00:10:08,165
Who are you
working with?
224
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,367
You think 'cause I'm not
checking in at the tree house
225
00:10:10,419 --> 00:10:11,402
I've gone rogue?
226
00:10:12,871 --> 00:10:15,673
Nice trust.
227
00:10:15,707 --> 00:10:17,991
You're not going
anywhere!
228
00:10:32,674 --> 00:10:36,060
Oh, and if you thought
I was working solo...
229
00:10:36,111 --> 00:10:38,229
...You haven't met
his wife.
230
00:10:54,336 --> 00:10:56,929
Paints a pretty scary
picture, doesn't it?
231
00:10:57,893 --> 00:11:00,645
It certainly gives me
a new perspective.
232
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:01,276
Lois...
233
00:11:01,376 --> 00:11:02,343
Lane.
234
00:11:02,377 --> 00:11:03,477
Sam Lane's daughter.
235
00:11:03,511 --> 00:11:04,812
I always do my homework.
236
00:11:04,846 --> 00:11:06,931
Why do you think
I gave you clearance?
237
00:11:06,982 --> 00:11:08,382
Damn.
238
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,267
And here I was thinking I got
in here on my wit and charm.
239
00:11:10,318 --> 00:11:13,070
I see you are not
just a Lane in name,
240
00:11:13,104 --> 00:11:14,605
but attitude as well.
241
00:11:16,324 --> 00:11:19,410
My dad always said I was made
of more brass than his medals.
242
00:11:21,279 --> 00:11:23,747
General,
I brought something for you.
243
00:11:23,782 --> 00:11:25,232
Whoa!
244
00:11:25,267 --> 00:11:29,670
I see that I am not the only one
who does their homework.
245
00:11:29,704 --> 00:11:31,405
Fine bourbon
246
00:11:31,423 --> 00:11:34,041
and Cuban cohibas --
my favorite.
247
00:11:34,075 --> 00:11:36,243
American made
and American won.
248
00:11:36,261 --> 00:11:37,895
I don't care
what they say --
249
00:11:37,929 --> 00:11:39,964
that victory will be ours
soon enough.
250
00:11:40,015 --> 00:11:44,068
Spoken like a true daughter
of the red, white, and blue.
251
00:11:44,102 --> 00:11:47,587
Speaking of
the red, white, and blue...
252
00:11:48,857 --> 00:11:52,476
What's really up
with the VRA?
253
00:11:52,527 --> 00:11:56,447
Your father worked on the
registration act, Miss Lane.
254
00:11:56,481 --> 00:11:59,433
I'm not sure
what more I can tell you.
255
00:11:59,451 --> 00:12:00,985
Well, it's only
since your command
256
00:12:01,036 --> 00:12:02,653
that someone volunteered
to sign up.
257
00:12:02,687 --> 00:12:06,490
How exactly
is that gonna happen?
258
00:12:06,541 --> 00:12:09,710
They'll simply sign
a declaration of intent
259
00:12:09,744 --> 00:12:12,413
to act only
at the government's behest.
260
00:12:12,447 --> 00:12:15,349
United we stand,
right, Miss Lane?
261
00:12:15,383 --> 00:12:16,700
As it stands now,
262
00:12:16,735 --> 00:12:19,887
vigilantes do not represent
the will of the people.
263
00:12:19,921 --> 00:12:21,922
And anyone
espousing different
264
00:12:21,956 --> 00:12:23,640
merely supports
their cause.
265
00:12:27,595 --> 00:12:31,181
Which is exactly why I asked
for the VRA assignment.
266
00:12:31,232 --> 00:12:35,119
Who better to give the military
a fair shake than a brat?
267
00:12:35,153 --> 00:12:40,457
One who has written most of
her paper's pro-blur articles.
268
00:12:40,492 --> 00:12:42,443
I guess my name
isn't the only reason
269
00:12:42,477 --> 00:12:44,094
you agreed
to this one-on-one.
270
00:12:44,129 --> 00:12:46,830
You are not playing
for your team
271
00:12:46,865 --> 00:12:49,566
the way you should be,
Miss Lane.
272
00:12:49,601 --> 00:12:51,452
We all must do our part.
273
00:12:51,486 --> 00:12:52,786
Some people might say
274
00:12:52,820 --> 00:12:55,506
that's what drives
the vigilantes to action.
275
00:12:55,540 --> 00:12:58,125
Well, then,
they'll simply step forward
276
00:12:58,159 --> 00:13:00,994
and suit up with the good guys,
won't they?
277
00:13:04,716 --> 00:13:06,633
Here's to the good guys.
278
00:13:08,136 --> 00:13:09,853
Amen.
279
00:13:09,888 --> 00:13:13,474
Ah, there must be something
around here to cut this.
280
00:13:18,863 --> 00:13:20,748
Your name
got you in here,
281
00:13:20,782 --> 00:13:22,699
but it won't get you
out of trouble.
282
00:13:22,734 --> 00:13:24,651
Show me your hand.
283
00:13:24,685 --> 00:13:26,637
Now!
284
00:13:35,463 --> 00:13:37,798
I just thought
you might like a light.
285
00:13:40,468 --> 00:13:42,469
I apologize.
286
00:13:42,504 --> 00:13:46,023
These vigilantes have got me
suspicious of everyone.
287
00:13:46,057 --> 00:13:47,257
No worries.
288
00:13:47,308 --> 00:13:50,160
These days, you just don't know
who you can trust.
289
00:13:50,195 --> 00:13:52,329
Right?
290
00:13:59,220 --> 00:14:00,888
Considering
your activist streak,
291
00:14:00,988 --> 00:14:02,672
I never saw you
settling down.
292
00:14:03,708 --> 00:14:05,576
It was his passion
and conviction
293
00:14:05,610 --> 00:14:06,726
that drew me to him.
294
00:14:06,744 --> 00:14:08,362
There are qualities
we share
295
00:14:08,396 --> 00:14:10,380
and on which we've built
a partnership.
296
00:14:10,415 --> 00:14:11,898
To the outside world,
297
00:14:11,916 --> 00:14:14,768
your passion looks a lot
like terrorism.
298
00:14:14,803 --> 00:14:17,754
Do you really want people to see
us as scared, hunted victims?
299
00:14:17,789 --> 00:14:21,608
We can't stop the government
from targeting us,
300
00:14:21,643 --> 00:14:24,628
but we can show them
we're not gonna take it.
301
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:26,980
And show them you're
the criminals they fear you are.
302
00:14:27,015 --> 00:14:30,634
And be the heroes
people hope we are.
303
00:14:30,685 --> 00:14:32,419
Who is your hero, Clark?
304
00:14:32,437 --> 00:14:34,388
Everybody has one.
305
00:14:34,422 --> 00:14:37,558
I'll never forget the day
I read about mine --
306
00:14:37,592 --> 00:14:40,944
this little lady
named Lucy Burns,
307
00:14:41,029 --> 00:14:43,480
who just wanted to vote
like her father.
308
00:14:43,531 --> 00:14:45,432
But she didn't
just sit back
309
00:14:45,450 --> 00:14:47,951
and expect people to do
the right thing,
310
00:14:47,986 --> 00:14:49,369
because you know what?
311
00:14:49,404 --> 00:14:50,387
They didn't.
312
00:14:52,006 --> 00:14:54,158
It wasn't until
she refused food
313
00:14:54,192 --> 00:14:55,459
and endured the infamous
"night of terror" --
314
00:14:55,493 --> 00:14:58,078
that's when people decided to do
the right thing.
315
00:14:58,112 --> 00:15:01,248
Victories aren't won
by spectators...
316
00:15:01,282 --> 00:15:02,850
But by fighters...
317
00:15:02,884 --> 00:15:05,853
Like me and Mera.
318
00:15:05,887 --> 00:15:09,006
What are you doing
to fight for us?
319
00:15:09,057 --> 00:15:10,790
We shouldn't be
fighting anyone,
320
00:15:10,808 --> 00:15:12,309
especially
the government.
321
00:15:12,393 --> 00:15:14,094
We should be
protecting people.
322
00:15:14,128 --> 00:15:17,147
And right now, we are the ones
who need protection the most.
323
00:15:17,182 --> 00:15:21,768
Clark, that rig we took out
wasn't drilling for oil.
324
00:15:21,802 --> 00:15:22,986
Neither are the ones
325
00:15:23,021 --> 00:15:24,655
the government's building
around the country.
326
00:15:24,689 --> 00:15:26,490
Then what are they?
327
00:15:26,524 --> 00:15:29,443
High-tech holding facilities
deep below the earth.
328
00:15:30,811 --> 00:15:34,314
And they're building them
for us.
329
00:15:41,923 --> 00:15:43,040
Lois...
330
00:15:43,091 --> 00:15:46,176
Would you like
to explain this to me?
331
00:15:46,211 --> 00:15:47,928
Because I took it off
your desktop,
332
00:15:47,962 --> 00:15:50,347
and it suspiciously looks like
an article on the VRA,
333
00:15:50,381 --> 00:15:52,516
which I expressly said
you were not to write.
334
00:15:54,769 --> 00:15:57,170
Your father
worked on the bill, Lois.
335
00:15:57,188 --> 00:15:58,572
There's a conflict
of interest.
336
00:15:58,606 --> 00:16:01,225
Let's just say something
is rotten
337
00:16:01,276 --> 00:16:04,010
in the military state
of Metropolis,
338
00:16:04,028 --> 00:16:07,847
and I need to make sure
certain people know about it.
339
00:16:07,865 --> 00:16:09,449
Look, I know that you like
to break a story
340
00:16:09,484 --> 00:16:10,850
before anybody else,
341
00:16:10,868 --> 00:16:13,854
but your concern
seems...personal.
342
00:16:16,541 --> 00:16:19,710
Okay, I'm actually gonna level
with you on this one, Tess.
343
00:16:19,744 --> 00:16:20,961
I just found out
344
00:16:20,995 --> 00:16:23,630
that the mystery hero
registering is Oliver.
345
00:16:27,051 --> 00:16:30,087
Is Clark working with you
on this?
346
00:16:30,138 --> 00:16:31,588
Why would he be?
347
00:16:31,639 --> 00:16:34,224
You share a lot
of bylines.
348
00:16:34,259 --> 00:16:35,842
So you're alone
on this one.
349
00:16:35,876 --> 00:16:37,877
Looks like it.
350
00:16:37,895 --> 00:16:40,063
Clark's got jury duty.
351
00:16:40,098 --> 00:16:41,431
Oh.
352
00:16:41,482 --> 00:16:43,049
Jury duty?
353
00:16:44,035 --> 00:16:46,069
I tried to tell him
how to get out of it,
354
00:16:46,104 --> 00:16:48,388
but you know Clark --
always serving the people
355
00:16:48,406 --> 00:16:50,023
and fulfilling
his civic obligation.
356
00:16:50,057 --> 00:16:52,892
Yeah, he is...dedicated
that way.
357
00:16:54,545 --> 00:16:57,014
What is your scoop
on the VRA?
358
00:16:57,048 --> 00:16:58,332
Despite what they say,
359
00:16:58,366 --> 00:17:01,118
I think the VRA is going
a little less above board
360
00:17:01,169 --> 00:17:02,836
and a lot more
water board.
361
00:17:02,870 --> 00:17:04,821
Torture?
362
00:17:09,927 --> 00:17:12,579
Meet general Slade Wilson.
363
00:17:12,597 --> 00:17:15,065
Put in charge of executing
the VRA --
364
00:17:15,099 --> 00:17:16,583
emphasis on "execute."
365
00:17:16,601 --> 00:17:19,636
For years, rumors of war crimes
followed him --
366
00:17:19,687 --> 00:17:20,920
never any charges,
367
00:17:20,938 --> 00:17:22,806
and he continued
to move up the ranks.
368
00:17:22,857 --> 00:17:25,275
Because he was effective,
and now he's targeting heroes.
369
00:17:25,310 --> 00:17:26,610
It's worse.
370
00:17:26,644 --> 00:17:28,945
If I've got it right,
he's building prisons.
371
00:17:28,980 --> 00:17:32,883
And Oliver's about to sign up
for this summer internment camp?
372
00:17:40,375 --> 00:17:44,444
Today, we take our first step
toward a new partnership.
373
00:17:44,462 --> 00:17:48,131
There will no longer
be law and outlaw.
374
00:17:48,166 --> 00:17:49,750
We will be one people,
united,
375
00:17:49,784 --> 00:17:53,136
working toward one goal --
the common good.
376
00:17:56,174 --> 00:17:58,308
Oliver Queen's
registration
377
00:17:58,343 --> 00:18:00,977
marks a new day
for this country...
378
00:18:01,012 --> 00:18:04,798
And the end of vigilantes
working outside the law.
379
00:18:15,326 --> 00:18:17,411
Oliver, no!
380
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,487
They're going
to the helipad.
381
00:18:27,505 --> 00:18:28,655
Well,
you own this building.
382
00:18:28,673 --> 00:18:29,989
Don't let that helicopter
take off.
383
00:18:30,007 --> 00:18:35,212
Lois, I can't.
They have military clearance.
384
00:18:35,263 --> 00:18:36,546
Oliver's gone.
385
00:18:50,743 --> 00:18:53,495
I need to know
where Clark is.
386
00:18:53,529 --> 00:18:55,413
I have no idea.
387
00:18:55,447 --> 00:18:56,183
Who...
388
00:18:56,283 --> 00:18:58,134
Oliver's in trouble,
and Clark could be, too.
389
00:18:59,285 --> 00:19:00,919
I need to know
how to find them.
390
00:19:00,953 --> 00:19:03,371
Apparently...
391
00:19:03,405 --> 00:19:05,239
But I don't know why
you're asking me.
392
00:19:06,425 --> 00:19:08,343
Listen,
Dr. know-nothing.
393
00:19:08,377 --> 00:19:10,361
I have tried to reach Clark
with zero results.
394
00:19:10,396 --> 00:19:12,046
Now, he's mentioned
your name a lot,
395
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,915
and he's never even had
a yearly checkup.
396
00:19:13,933 --> 00:19:14,966
Listen...
397
00:19:16,302 --> 00:19:19,003
I know that you're
in his superhero club.
398
00:19:19,038 --> 00:19:21,723
So unless you want
a sudden tracheotomy,
399
00:19:21,757 --> 00:19:24,258
you will tell me
where he is A.S.A.P.
400
00:19:24,276 --> 00:19:26,394
He went to find A.C.
In Miami.
401
00:19:26,428 --> 00:19:28,262
That's the last
I heard.
402
00:19:31,684 --> 00:19:34,202
Now, for the record,
403
00:19:34,236 --> 00:19:36,120
you know I was bluffing,
right?
404
00:19:44,947 --> 00:19:46,047
Florida in winter.
405
00:19:50,953 --> 00:19:53,004
Who doesn't love to snowbird?
406
00:20:04,867 --> 00:20:06,434
Seismic activity.
407
00:20:06,468 --> 00:20:07,902
That's how Mera
found the place.
408
00:20:07,937 --> 00:20:09,153
She's pretty amazing --
409
00:20:09,188 --> 00:20:10,605
smart, passionate, fiery.
410
00:20:10,639 --> 00:20:13,107
Even helped me understand
my true origins.
411
00:20:13,141 --> 00:20:15,243
You really went off
the high dive for her.
412
00:20:15,277 --> 00:20:18,112
I'm so much more with her
than I ever was solo.
413
00:20:18,146 --> 00:20:21,532
You don't feel guilty,
putting her in danger?
414
00:20:21,584 --> 00:20:24,369
Mera can hold her own.
415
00:20:24,420 --> 00:20:27,622
If you're worried about someone
a little less superpowered,
416
00:20:27,656 --> 00:20:30,291
Mera helped me realize
that standing on the sidelines
417
00:20:30,325 --> 00:20:31,993
isn't the same
as being in the game.
418
00:20:39,001 --> 00:20:41,352
Do you recognize
this structure?
419
00:20:41,387 --> 00:20:43,170
Looks like the facilities
at Luthorcorp
420
00:20:43,188 --> 00:20:44,939
when Lex was trying to build
his own private zoo
421
00:20:44,974 --> 00:20:46,190
of the superpowered.
422
00:20:46,225 --> 00:20:47,341
It couldn't be
Luthorcorp.
423
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,210
Tess and Oliver
would know about it.
424
00:20:50,229 --> 00:20:53,214
Looks like Uncle Sam raided the
patent offices for his own end.
425
00:20:55,401 --> 00:20:56,701
Mera,
you still reading us?
426
00:20:56,735 --> 00:20:57,986
Barely.
427
00:20:58,020 --> 00:21:00,788
...Just heard...Tower.
428
00:21:00,823 --> 00:21:02,323
You're breaking up.
429
00:21:02,358 --> 00:21:04,292
Watchtower found
eight locations
430
00:21:04,326 --> 00:21:05,994
with similar
seismic readings.
431
00:21:06,028 --> 00:21:07,829
You need to check them
right away.
432
00:21:07,863 --> 00:21:10,748
Oliver's been taken
off the grid!
433
00:21:13,201 --> 00:21:16,004
If we split up, we can cover
the facility faster.
434
00:21:16,038 --> 00:21:18,056
They've taken
one of ours.
435
00:21:18,090 --> 00:21:20,058
Let's go get him back.
436
00:21:47,536 --> 00:21:49,587
Almost done, Mr. Queen.
437
00:21:49,621 --> 00:21:53,407
What's with the secret
workout room here, huh?
438
00:21:53,425 --> 00:21:56,744
Is this a, uh,
a secret tryout for the NFL?
439
00:22:01,266 --> 00:22:04,635
You're strong
and extremely agile
440
00:22:04,687 --> 00:22:06,304
with coordination
441
00:22:06,388 --> 00:22:07,438
that's off the charts.
442
00:22:07,473 --> 00:22:08,806
I'm human.
443
00:22:08,857 --> 00:22:12,593
Well, I commend
your performance.
444
00:22:12,644 --> 00:22:15,279
We'd love to have someone
with your gifts
445
00:22:15,314 --> 00:22:17,765
serve our country.
446
00:22:17,783 --> 00:22:21,069
Help us bring in your
less cooperative cohorts.
447
00:22:21,103 --> 00:22:22,320
Look...
448
00:22:22,371 --> 00:22:23,654
I'll be your poster boy.
449
00:22:23,706 --> 00:22:26,074
I'll say your words,
and I'll be your face,
450
00:22:26,108 --> 00:22:28,159
but it ends with me,
you understand?
451
00:22:28,210 --> 00:22:29,827
Now, there are people
out there
452
00:22:29,878 --> 00:22:31,629
who want to believe
in you.
453
00:22:31,663 --> 00:22:34,281
They want to believe
in this country.
454
00:22:34,299 --> 00:22:36,300
Give them a chance
to prove that,
455
00:22:36,335 --> 00:22:38,136
to be the heroes
we all need.
456
00:22:38,170 --> 00:22:41,255
You got nerve.
I like that.
457
00:22:41,289 --> 00:22:43,725
But your draft card
wasn't a two-for-one special.
458
00:22:45,293 --> 00:22:48,813
Please, allow me to make
a more convincing argument.
459
00:23:25,657 --> 00:23:27,792
Look who skipped
right out of the forest.
460
00:23:27,826 --> 00:23:30,094
Doe-eyed Bambi
searching...
461
00:23:31,213 --> 00:23:33,081
You're Lois Lane.
462
00:23:34,499 --> 00:23:36,467
Wow!
463
00:23:36,501 --> 00:23:37,602
Brazen much?
464
00:23:40,773 --> 00:23:43,674
I am Mera,
wife of Orin,
465
00:23:43,692 --> 00:23:45,677
future king
of the seven seas.
466
00:23:47,012 --> 00:23:49,480
The one you call
Arthur Curry.
467
00:23:49,514 --> 00:23:52,183
A.C. got married.
468
00:23:53,402 --> 00:23:56,704
Aren't you just
full of reveals?
469
00:23:56,739 --> 00:23:59,356
Orin is finally embracing
his destiny
470
00:23:59,375 --> 00:24:00,975
and leading his people.
471
00:24:02,961 --> 00:24:04,579
Huh.
472
00:24:06,432 --> 00:24:08,249
Hang on.
"His people."
473
00:24:08,300 --> 00:24:10,468
Like, down under
and not Australia?
474
00:24:10,502 --> 00:24:12,053
Anyway,
I need to find Clark.
475
00:24:12,087 --> 00:24:15,056
Certainly you are not a partner
in his endeavors?
476
00:24:15,090 --> 00:24:17,208
Wow, some people get a ring
on their finger,
477
00:24:17,226 --> 00:24:20,511
and everyone else's relationship
just doesn't cut it.
478
00:24:20,545 --> 00:24:22,546
Spoken like one
who can never be satisfied
479
00:24:22,564 --> 00:24:23,898
by a man
of her own kind.
480
00:24:23,932 --> 00:24:26,567
You desire those
who are extraordinary --
481
00:24:26,602 --> 00:24:29,687
first Orin, then Oliver,
now Clark.
482
00:24:29,738 --> 00:24:31,022
You've got to be
kidding me.
483
00:24:32,057 --> 00:24:33,074
Little mermaid?
484
00:24:33,108 --> 00:24:35,026
Your prince and I dated
for like a day.
485
00:24:35,060 --> 00:24:39,330
It's understandable that you
would seek a superior companion.
486
00:24:39,364 --> 00:24:41,365
I'm just surprised
that powerful men
487
00:24:41,399 --> 00:24:43,551
would choose someone
of lesser ability.
488
00:24:43,585 --> 00:24:46,204
Listen, squid lips...
489
00:24:46,238 --> 00:24:48,589
You don't know anything
about me or Clark.
490
00:24:48,624 --> 00:24:50,625
I know you came here
looking for Clark.
491
00:24:50,676 --> 00:24:52,710
You're in the dark...
492
00:24:52,744 --> 00:24:55,046
Protected
but not included.
493
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,515
Do you really want
the harsh light of truth?
494
00:25:15,934 --> 00:25:17,268
Lois.
495
00:25:17,286 --> 00:25:18,653
What are you doing here?
496
00:25:18,704 --> 00:25:20,771
Well, since
you've apparently forsaken
497
00:25:20,789 --> 00:25:22,573
modern communication
technology,
498
00:25:22,607 --> 00:25:24,275
I'm hand-delivering
an S.O.S.
499
00:25:24,293 --> 00:25:26,410
About Oliver.
I know he's been taken.
500
00:25:26,444 --> 00:25:28,279
What? How -- how do you know
that already?
501
00:25:29,882 --> 00:25:30,998
Clark, I ran some tests
502
00:25:31,049 --> 00:25:32,216
on the alloy
that you found and...
503
00:25:33,769 --> 00:25:34,986
Lois.
504
00:25:35,020 --> 00:25:36,888
Hi.
505
00:25:39,558 --> 00:25:40,725
Okay,
you know how I hate
506
00:25:40,759 --> 00:25:42,343
being all
emo-relationship chick?
507
00:25:42,394 --> 00:25:44,295
It's just,
I can't get you on the phone,
508
00:25:44,313 --> 00:25:45,763
but Tess can Skype
with you?
509
00:25:45,797 --> 00:25:47,198
This isn't a social call.
510
00:25:47,232 --> 00:25:48,266
And I am?
511
00:25:48,300 --> 00:25:49,984
We practically
share a desk chair,
512
00:25:50,018 --> 00:25:52,153
but I'm still not
the real work wife.
513
00:25:52,187 --> 00:25:54,522
Sorry to interrupt "The Real
Housewives of Metropolis,"
514
00:25:54,556 --> 00:25:56,307
but there's something
you need to know
515
00:25:56,341 --> 00:25:57,842
about this alloy
that we tested.
516
00:25:57,876 --> 00:25:59,443
Clark,
it can change properties.
517
00:25:59,478 --> 00:26:03,047
It's like some sort of
multifunctional weaponry.
518
00:26:03,081 --> 00:26:05,283
The government is preparing for
anything that comes its way.
519
00:26:06,502 --> 00:26:08,085
Including Orin.
520
00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:09,787
He should have been back
by now.
521
00:26:09,821 --> 00:26:11,422
He could be at any one
of the four facilities
522
00:26:11,456 --> 00:26:12,623
he was checking out.
523
00:26:12,657 --> 00:26:14,959
If he ended up
in one of Slade's nets,
524
00:26:14,993 --> 00:26:17,261
I might know how
to find him.
525
00:26:22,334 --> 00:26:25,303
It's the design blueprint
for the prisons.
526
00:26:25,337 --> 00:26:26,554
And according to this,
527
00:26:26,605 --> 00:26:29,006
there's only one facility
that is operational.
528
00:26:29,024 --> 00:26:30,141
It's in Alaska.
529
00:26:48,877 --> 00:26:51,212
Please tell me
you're not the rescue party.
530
00:26:51,246 --> 00:26:54,332
They must have
tracked me in.
531
00:26:55,968 --> 00:26:58,002
I should have been
more stealth.
532
00:27:04,209 --> 00:27:06,227
You know
about our abilities?
533
00:27:06,261 --> 00:27:07,895
Always be prepared.
534
00:27:07,930 --> 00:27:10,781
You came at us
through the ocean
535
00:27:10,816 --> 00:27:11,849
like a torpedo.
536
00:27:11,883 --> 00:27:14,551
It didn't take much
to figure out
537
00:27:14,570 --> 00:27:17,622
where your mutated abilities
come from.
538
00:27:17,656 --> 00:27:19,440
A little heat,
539
00:27:19,491 --> 00:27:21,725
and you dry right up,
don't you?
540
00:27:21,743 --> 00:27:23,327
Something tells me
the White House
541
00:27:23,362 --> 00:27:25,630
didn't exactly get the memo
on your glacial gitmo here.
542
00:27:25,664 --> 00:27:28,416
Don't ask...
Don't tell.
543
00:27:28,450 --> 00:27:30,001
I wouldn't be
too embarrassed.
544
00:27:30,035 --> 00:27:31,419
You two
are just the first
545
00:27:31,453 --> 00:27:33,454
in a whole host
of vigilantes
546
00:27:33,505 --> 00:27:35,022
to be taken out of play.
547
00:27:36,458 --> 00:27:37,925
With the right encouragement,
548
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,094
I'm sure you will help us
bring them in.
549
00:27:40,128 --> 00:27:42,880
You're gonna need
a bigger cage.
550
00:27:42,914 --> 00:27:44,632
I wouldn't worry about that.
551
00:27:44,683 --> 00:27:47,268
See, you all have
some great strength...
552
00:27:47,302 --> 00:27:50,638
But one equally great flaw.
553
00:27:50,689 --> 00:27:54,609
No, you are almost too easy.
554
00:27:54,643 --> 00:27:56,978
Damaged, lonely,
555
00:27:57,029 --> 00:27:58,613
isolated.
556
00:27:58,647 --> 00:28:01,598
A hero with no actual powers.
557
00:28:01,617 --> 00:28:03,651
Do you resent them?
558
00:28:03,702 --> 00:28:06,971
Actually, you're taking
the honors right now, jackass.
559
00:28:07,005 --> 00:28:09,874
Unlike the half-dolphin
over there,
560
00:28:09,908 --> 00:28:13,244
I'll bet you hate
the freezing-cold depths
561
00:28:13,278 --> 00:28:14,428
of the ocean.
562
00:28:16,131 --> 00:28:17,965
Computerized voice:
Intruder alert.
563
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,800
Partial power interruption.
564
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,130
Computer override initiated.
565
00:29:06,164 --> 00:29:08,549
Terminal breach measures
activated.
566
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,634
Self-destruct in 2 minutes.
567
00:29:10,668 --> 00:29:13,054
You're up, gill boy.
568
00:29:13,105 --> 00:29:15,339
Mera!
569
00:29:15,357 --> 00:29:16,691
Aah!
570
00:29:31,907 --> 00:29:33,290
We gotta go...
571
00:29:33,325 --> 00:29:34,858
Now.
572
00:29:36,044 --> 00:29:38,212
How long can you hold
your breath?
573
00:29:42,167 --> 00:29:44,919
Slade!
574
00:29:44,970 --> 00:29:46,554
Self-destruct in 90 seconds.
575
00:29:46,588 --> 00:29:50,674
I'm not gonna let you
continue destroying
576
00:29:50,708 --> 00:29:52,209
people's faith
in justice.
577
00:29:52,227 --> 00:29:55,246
Made of steel,
or just a man?
578
00:29:56,765 --> 00:29:59,716
You can't be both.
579
00:30:00,980 --> 00:30:02,100
Self-destruct in 60 seconds.
580
00:30:03,212 --> 00:30:06,398
So it is you.
581
00:30:11,729 --> 00:30:13,230
What are you doing?!
582
00:30:13,248 --> 00:30:15,399
I need to get you out of here!
583
00:30:15,417 --> 00:30:20,087
This whole place was built
for the express purpose...
584
00:30:20,122 --> 00:30:23,040
Of containing your kind.
585
00:30:23,074 --> 00:30:24,425
Self-destruct in 40 seconds.
586
00:30:24,459 --> 00:30:27,094
And your weakness
was the hardest to learn.
587
00:30:28,630 --> 00:30:30,047
You see?
588
00:30:30,081 --> 00:30:31,966
You're not above the law.
589
00:30:32,017 --> 00:30:34,135
You're not even above me.
590
00:30:34,186 --> 00:30:36,971
How can you be so determined
in seeing us as the enemy,
591
00:30:37,022 --> 00:30:38,922
instead of working
with us?
592
00:30:38,940 --> 00:30:40,924
Look...
Self-destruct in 30 seconds.
593
00:30:40,942 --> 00:30:42,276
Let me save you.
594
00:30:42,310 --> 00:30:43,944
You'll never get out!
595
00:30:43,979 --> 00:30:45,980
I know,
but it's worth it.
596
00:30:46,031 --> 00:30:51,768
To destroy the single greatest
threat to democracy.
597
00:30:51,787 --> 00:30:55,289
No civilian in this country
should be more powerful
598
00:30:55,323 --> 00:30:56,791
than the law.
599
00:30:56,825 --> 00:30:58,242
That's what
keeps the order.
600
00:30:58,276 --> 00:31:00,494
That's what
keeps us strong.
601
00:31:00,545 --> 00:31:02,663
Self-destruct in 15 seconds.
602
00:31:02,714 --> 00:31:04,465
Shut it down.
603
00:31:04,499 --> 00:31:05,966
Let me help you.
604
00:31:06,001 --> 00:31:08,619
I'd rather die
for my country
605
00:31:08,637 --> 00:31:12,122
than be saved by an abomination
like you.
606
00:31:19,231 --> 00:31:21,849
Self-destruct in 10 seconds.
607
00:31:21,900 --> 00:31:24,768
You asked me a question.
I guess you'll get your answer.
608
00:31:26,137 --> 00:31:28,272
I am man...
609
00:31:28,306 --> 00:31:30,825
And steel.
610
00:31:43,379 --> 00:31:45,225
Glad you didn't find
your Davy Jones down there
611
00:31:45,325 --> 00:31:47,026
after that explosion.
612
00:31:48,318 --> 00:31:51,270
I know how much
you love the water...
613
00:31:51,321 --> 00:31:52,488
But I couldn't
be happier
614
00:31:52,522 --> 00:31:54,039
to have my two feet
on solid ground.
615
00:31:54,074 --> 00:31:55,274
Oh, just as well.
616
00:31:55,325 --> 00:31:56,859
'Cause let's be honest.
617
00:31:56,893 --> 00:31:59,561
Underwater,
you look like a clown fish.
618
00:32:01,281 --> 00:32:02,781
I guess I should
thank you
619
00:32:02,832 --> 00:32:04,366
for uncovering
those holding cells.
620
00:32:05,191 --> 00:32:07,809
Part of me wishes I could have
kept on believing in...
621
00:32:10,423 --> 00:32:13,092
...Everything I was raised
to believe in.
622
00:32:16,630 --> 00:32:19,431
Don't let
an overzealous warhawk
623
00:32:19,466 --> 00:32:21,951
shake your faith
in people, Clark.
624
00:32:21,985 --> 00:32:23,586
Your endless optimism
is the one thing
625
00:32:23,620 --> 00:32:24,853
I actually like
about you.
626
00:32:26,473 --> 00:32:28,574
Did you learn that vocabulary
from Mera?
627
00:32:28,608 --> 00:32:32,027
Seriously, though,
you made a good point.
628
00:32:32,062 --> 00:32:34,697
Digging in our heels
and being as extreme as Slade
629
00:32:34,731 --> 00:32:36,448
makes us no better
than them.
630
00:32:38,735 --> 00:32:41,253
I'm just sorry they got
what they wanted out of the VRA.
631
00:32:41,288 --> 00:32:43,072
How's that?
632
00:32:43,106 --> 00:32:45,174
We didn't exactly
rush to sign up,
633
00:32:45,208 --> 00:32:46,608
but we got scared.
634
00:32:46,626 --> 00:32:49,528
We stopped communicating.
We stopped trusting each other.
635
00:32:51,181 --> 00:32:53,432
Now, there's no way we can beat
this if we splinter.
636
00:32:53,466 --> 00:32:56,802
I may not trust the commandos
in Washington,
637
00:32:56,836 --> 00:32:58,570
but I trust you, Clark.
638
00:32:58,605 --> 00:33:01,290
So we'll do it
your way --
639
00:33:01,308 --> 00:33:05,477
lead by example,
not by resistance.
640
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:08,764
I think
you have another battle
641
00:33:08,798 --> 00:33:10,165
brewing on the home front,
though.
642
00:33:15,405 --> 00:33:17,323
I thought if I told Lois
my secret,
643
00:33:17,357 --> 00:33:19,241
everything would fall
into place.
644
00:33:21,144 --> 00:33:24,980
I guess I've kept her
on the outside.
645
00:33:24,998 --> 00:33:26,615
The away games
don't matter
646
00:33:26,649 --> 00:33:28,751
unless you win the ones
at home, too,
647
00:33:28,785 --> 00:33:30,452
which you
definitely can't do
648
00:33:30,486 --> 00:33:32,487
if you refuse
to have a co-Captain.
649
00:33:35,425 --> 00:33:37,209
All I'm saying is...
650
00:33:37,260 --> 00:33:40,929
If anyone can handle you
and what you do,
651
00:33:40,964 --> 00:33:42,131
it's Lois.
652
00:33:42,165 --> 00:33:44,666
But you can't bring her
on the team
653
00:33:44,684 --> 00:33:46,635
and keep her benched.
654
00:33:46,669 --> 00:33:48,270
The question is,
655
00:33:48,305 --> 00:33:50,272
can you handle that?
656
00:33:58,865 --> 00:34:01,700
You do carry
a lot of baggage.
657
00:34:01,735 --> 00:34:02,901
Seriously, don't make me
658
00:34:02,952 --> 00:34:04,937
take my hair dryer out
and shrivel you.
659
00:34:06,790 --> 00:34:09,024
Perhaps I was too hasty
660
00:34:09,042 --> 00:34:12,378
in my judgment of you,
Lois Lane.
661
00:34:12,412 --> 00:34:13,662
You think?
662
00:34:13,696 --> 00:34:15,514
Because we didn't just get off
on the wrong fin.
663
00:34:15,548 --> 00:34:17,666
I stand by
what I said before.
664
00:34:17,700 --> 00:34:20,753
You're not like us,
not like Clark.
665
00:34:20,804 --> 00:34:23,639
But...you are
what he needs.
666
00:34:25,392 --> 00:34:27,776
You treat Clark
not as your superior
667
00:34:27,811 --> 00:34:29,311
but as an equal...
668
00:34:29,346 --> 00:34:31,146
And insist
that he do the same.
669
00:34:35,935 --> 00:34:37,453
Thanks.
670
00:34:37,487 --> 00:34:41,390
You'd make a good partner
for him, Lois...
671
00:34:41,408 --> 00:34:43,859
In your own way.
672
00:34:44,944 --> 00:34:46,712
If he lets me.
673
00:34:46,746 --> 00:34:48,030
It took months
674
00:34:48,064 --> 00:34:50,749
and more than just a few
water blasts to the head
675
00:34:50,784 --> 00:34:53,085
for Orin to let me
stand with him...
676
00:34:53,119 --> 00:34:54,536
Not just beside him.
677
00:34:56,339 --> 00:34:58,073
Give Clark time.
678
00:35:04,130 --> 00:35:06,098
I hate to break up
the party.
679
00:35:06,132 --> 00:35:09,301
We need to catch
the current.
680
00:35:09,352 --> 00:35:11,586
I thought Orin
was exaggerating, Clark,
681
00:35:11,604 --> 00:35:13,906
but everything he said
about you is true.
682
00:35:13,940 --> 00:35:17,910
Even when the tide
is turning,
683
00:35:17,944 --> 00:35:20,028
you work hard to bring change
by delivering justice,
684
00:35:20,063 --> 00:35:21,113
not bombs.
685
00:35:22,465 --> 00:35:25,884
As a patriot to the country,
not just the cause.
686
00:35:25,919 --> 00:35:28,370
That's our boy scout.
687
00:35:30,907 --> 00:35:32,458
All right,
wave runners,
688
00:35:32,492 --> 00:35:34,643
next time you're in town,
be sure to swim by.
689
00:35:34,677 --> 00:35:36,412
Aye-aye, Captain.
690
00:35:38,248 --> 00:35:40,632
Be seeing you.
691
00:35:41,634 --> 00:35:42,734
Thanks.
692
00:35:54,848 --> 00:35:56,849
In case I forgot
to mention it,
693
00:35:56,900 --> 00:35:59,801
I'm really glad I only booked
a one-way to Miami.
694
00:35:59,819 --> 00:36:02,905
Your arms were a lot better
than some seat in coach.
695
00:36:02,939 --> 00:36:05,157
You shouldn't have had to fly
all the way to Florida
696
00:36:05,191 --> 00:36:06,608
just to find me.
697
00:36:06,642 --> 00:36:07,826
Don't sweat it.
698
00:36:07,861 --> 00:36:11,497
Those mileage points
needed to be used up anyway.
699
00:36:11,531 --> 00:36:13,315
No, Lois, you were right
to be upset.
700
00:36:13,333 --> 00:36:16,435
I've been running around
acting like it's just me...
701
00:36:16,469 --> 00:36:17,753
Instead of us.
702
00:36:19,822 --> 00:36:22,991
The truth is, I rely on you
more than anyone else.
703
00:36:23,009 --> 00:36:25,127
I trust you
to know parts of me
704
00:36:25,161 --> 00:36:27,312
that I don't even
trust myself.
705
00:36:29,566 --> 00:36:32,100
That's why you're
the only person I told
706
00:36:32,135 --> 00:36:34,987
about the darkness
that I've tried to fight...
707
00:36:35,021 --> 00:36:36,722
But failed.
708
00:36:36,773 --> 00:36:38,190
I know.
709
00:36:38,224 --> 00:36:40,859
It's just, when you look
at A.C. and Mera --
710
00:36:40,894 --> 00:36:44,446
how they work together,
how alike they are --
711
00:36:44,481 --> 00:36:47,115
it kind of
makes you wonder...
712
00:36:47,150 --> 00:36:49,535
If we'll ever
be like that.
713
00:36:49,569 --> 00:36:51,570
I mean,
you got to admit, I'm...
714
00:36:51,621 --> 00:36:52,804
...Everything
that I'm not?
715
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,542
Lois,
that's why it works.
716
00:36:56,576 --> 00:36:58,126
Yeah, but two pieces
may fit together,
717
00:36:58,161 --> 00:36:59,795
but if they're not
from the same puzzle,
718
00:36:59,829 --> 00:37:01,380
it might end up
looking like a Picasso.
719
00:37:01,414 --> 00:37:02,881
But does that matter?
720
00:37:05,034 --> 00:37:06,068
It depends.
721
00:37:07,770 --> 00:37:11,757
When you went off
to go and save the world...
722
00:37:11,808 --> 00:37:15,260
I remember what my mom
looked like
723
00:37:15,311 --> 00:37:18,931
every time my dad left
on deployment.
724
00:37:18,982 --> 00:37:22,117
And it was the hardest thing
she ever had to do, but she...
725
00:37:22,151 --> 00:37:27,472
She remained stoic
until that door closed.
726
00:37:29,359 --> 00:37:31,560
Because she knew that was how
she helped my dad
727
00:37:31,578 --> 00:37:34,496
do what he had to do.
728
00:37:34,531 --> 00:37:37,783
Because they were
in it together...
729
00:37:37,834 --> 00:37:40,902
No matter what.
730
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,604
And so am I.
731
00:37:45,741 --> 00:37:48,527
But I'm not
the only one.
732
00:37:50,763 --> 00:37:54,583
You didn't tell anyone
about the darkness...
733
00:37:54,601 --> 00:37:56,768
Because...
734
00:37:56,803 --> 00:38:00,772
You think you're supposed
to be invincible.
735
00:38:00,807 --> 00:38:02,207
Right?
736
00:38:02,242 --> 00:38:05,110
And it terrifies you
that you're not.
737
00:38:09,566 --> 00:38:11,984
Lois, how am I
supposed to protect people,
738
00:38:12,035 --> 00:38:13,268
protect you,
739
00:38:13,286 --> 00:38:15,687
if I can't even protect myself
from the darkness?
740
00:38:18,157 --> 00:38:20,008
By not trying
to do it alone.
741
00:38:20,043 --> 00:38:23,078
We're in this
together now --
742
00:38:23,112 --> 00:38:25,964
all of us.
743
00:38:27,450 --> 00:38:31,219
And the team needs to know
the bigger war we're fighting.
744
00:38:40,630 --> 00:38:42,764
Wow.
745
00:38:42,798 --> 00:38:44,983
Welcome to Watchtower --
746
00:38:45,018 --> 00:38:47,936
the official headquarters
of the home team.
747
00:38:47,970 --> 00:38:50,305
Which you are
clearly on now.
748
00:38:51,457 --> 00:38:52,658
Finally.
749
00:38:57,997 --> 00:39:00,649
Is that
a com-sat hook-up?
750
00:39:00,667 --> 00:39:02,651
I take back that whole
"work wife" thing.
751
00:39:02,669 --> 00:39:05,704
Your satellite officially
trumps my cellphone.
752
00:39:05,755 --> 00:39:06,838
Forget it.
753
00:39:06,873 --> 00:39:08,123
From now on,
754
00:39:08,157 --> 00:39:10,642
mi com-sat
es su com-sat.
755
00:39:10,677 --> 00:39:12,694
Thanks.
756
00:39:12,729 --> 00:39:14,646
Clark, I got your message.
Lois...
757
00:39:14,681 --> 00:39:15,881
Hey.
758
00:39:15,932 --> 00:39:18,784
What's going on?
759
00:39:18,818 --> 00:39:20,168
Um...
760
00:39:21,971 --> 00:39:24,923
We all know what the government
was up to.
761
00:39:24,957 --> 00:39:27,659
Those prisons were part
of a much bigger threat.
762
00:39:27,694 --> 00:39:29,978
Hate crimes are up.
763
00:39:30,013 --> 00:39:32,547
People like Slade,
they're getting more control.
764
00:39:32,582 --> 00:39:34,700
And Godfrey's
anti-vigilante message --
765
00:39:34,734 --> 00:39:36,985
it's reaching more ears
than ever before,
766
00:39:37,019 --> 00:39:39,037
and I don't think
it's a coincidence.
767
00:39:39,072 --> 00:39:42,824
Sadly, Clark, there's no mystery
to human fear and hatred.
768
00:39:44,293 --> 00:39:46,628
This time, there might be.
769
00:39:46,663 --> 00:39:48,747
I think there's something more
behind the darkness,
770
00:39:48,798 --> 00:39:50,365
something that hero haters
like Slade
771
00:39:50,383 --> 00:39:51,900
don't even know
is affecting them.
772
00:39:51,934 --> 00:39:54,002
When I sent
the Kandorians away
773
00:39:54,036 --> 00:39:55,504
through the portal into space,
774
00:39:55,538 --> 00:39:58,573
I opened a door for something
else to come to Earth.
775
00:39:58,608 --> 00:40:00,375
Are you seriously trying
to tell me that,
776
00:40:00,393 --> 00:40:02,678
out of all the intergalactic
bad boys we've ever faced,
777
00:40:02,712 --> 00:40:03,945
this one's
actually worse?
778
00:40:03,980 --> 00:40:05,430
This is much worse.
779
00:40:05,481 --> 00:40:08,049
We can't even see it
to fight it.
780
00:40:08,067 --> 00:40:12,404
This thing is like an evil
that's spreading over the Earth.
781
00:40:12,438 --> 00:40:14,856
It preys upon the dark side
that we already have.
782
00:40:14,890 --> 00:40:18,460
It feeds on our doubts,
our fears, and our distrust.
783
00:40:18,494 --> 00:40:20,445
Well, I'd say,
from where I'm standing,
784
00:40:20,496 --> 00:40:22,214
it's already
on the winning side.
785
00:40:22,248 --> 00:40:26,201
I think it even
affected Slade.
786
00:40:26,235 --> 00:40:28,954
Just before
the facility exploded,
787
00:40:29,005 --> 00:40:31,790
I saw something
on Slade's skull --
788
00:40:31,841 --> 00:40:33,458
the Omega symbol.
789
00:40:33,509 --> 00:40:35,627
It was like
it was branded there.
790
00:40:35,678 --> 00:40:37,629
Almost like the mark...
791
00:40:37,663 --> 00:40:38,864
...Of the beast
in revelations.
792
00:40:38,898 --> 00:40:40,766
Which would explain
why he veered
793
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,584
so far off
his marching orders.
794
00:40:42,602 --> 00:40:44,720
I'm guessing you don't think
that Slade's the only pledge
795
00:40:44,754 --> 00:40:46,304
to the Alpha-Omega-Die
Fraternity, right?
796
00:40:46,355 --> 00:40:49,024
I think the Omega's a sign
of corruption,
797
00:40:49,058 --> 00:40:52,427
a mark that the darkness
has fully taken over someone.
798
00:40:52,445 --> 00:40:53,729
Didn't Kara say
that a person
799
00:40:53,763 --> 00:40:55,981
had to be open
to the darkness?
800
00:40:56,032 --> 00:40:58,917
That it can't infect anyone
of pure heart?
801
00:40:58,951 --> 00:41:01,403
And which one of us
doesn't have that weakness?
802
00:41:01,437 --> 00:41:02,788
A hidden hatred or fear
803
00:41:02,822 --> 00:41:04,973
that this thing
couldn't prey upon?
804
00:41:05,007 --> 00:41:08,176
So, basically this thing
doesn't have to do anything.
805
00:41:08,211 --> 00:41:10,412
It just waits
for everybody's weaknesses,
806
00:41:10,446 --> 00:41:12,130
and then we destroy
ourselves.
807
00:41:13,499 --> 00:41:15,083
If we can't stop it,
808
00:41:15,117 --> 00:41:19,121
the darkness will infect
every person on this planet.
