Superman & Lois

Previously on "Superman & Lois"...

Setting him free would be the biggest mistake of your life.

He threatened me, told me to retire

from journalism, or he would come back.

He'd have to go through me and Superman to hurt you.

And that's not gonna happen.

Something I can do for you?

Every time you die, it just makes you stronger.

Let me kill you so nothing in this world can stop you...

nothing.

Ever think about dying, Superman?

Because you're about to.

What's he done to you?

When you're done, bring me his heart.

Don't.

What's happening?

I can't hear him breathing anymore.

That thing was at our house.

How did it know to come here?

I don't know.

I found this not far from the barn.

Grandpa's ELT.

After he went missing, your dad must have

come here looking for him.

You think Granddad was here?

No, but Luthor was.

And my guess is he used that to call his new pet.

So that's why he wanted Granddad, to get the ELT.

It's easy to be brave with Superman and the DOD

watching out for you.

I need you to listen for your grandfather's voice.

- Why not Dad? - You heard what he said.

He didn't want any of us to engage.

Just concentrate on your grandfather.

We have to find him now.

Really?

Hotel mine?

I purchased it through Eckworth Industries

to avoid any questions.

You overpaid.

No, I didn't.

It's been over a month since you've been out of prison.

Why haven't you been back to LuthorCorp yet?

I have things to do here.

And how much longer do you expect these things will take?

The board is getting restless.

Not my concern.

They're all spineless sycophants, especially Bash.

Anything I can tell them about how you want

things to run moving forward?

Nothing changes.

Everything's been operating as it should be the last 17 years.

I'm pretty sure they're sick of getting orders from me.

Which tells me you're doing it right.

There's a reason you're the only one I trust.

Consider it handled.

Any word on Elizabeth?

She left London before you were released.

Keep looking.

She can't just disappear.

Can I please fix this place up for you?

This is everything I need.

At least let me get you some window dressings.

Amanda, it's not a prison cell.

That's enough for me.

But there is one thing I need Milton to build.

I'll get him.

I'm sure as hell not gonna do it.

Date's not over yet.

It's all, like, muffled or something.

You think it's Grandpa?

I don't know.

Maybe.

I know this is hard, sweetie, but you have to keep trying.

Help him.

- Where are you going? - To think.

The radiation makes my brain foggy.

How can you do that?

Your heartbeat, like, never rises.

I just try not to give in to the fear.

Just sort of how I'm built, I guess.

That thing Dad was fighting, how could he beat that?

He'll beat it.

Did you see the look on his face?

Dad was scared.

What if he knew he couldn't beat it?

He will.

We have to believe that.

I don't know if I do.

Not this time.

And without Dad, man, I'm just not ready

to do all this without him.

You okay?

Maybe a glass of wine?

Something stronger.

I just have so many questions.

I know. I know.

And my mom thought you could probably use some space,

so she went into town to give us some privacy.

So I'll answer any questions you have.

Why tell me now?

Because I'm in love with you,

more in love than I ever thought I could be.

So when you heard me tell Janet

that I was in love during the Superman interview...

That was the best day of my life.

Even if I called you dorky?

Sometimes, I'm a little dorky.

You're mad?

Mm, definitely not mad.

Oh, oh, um, you wanna...

Go to your bedroom, right now.

Okay.

You said she wanted to give us space, right?

Yeah, no, she won't be back.

It's just, um, I've never, um...

Done it in your childhood bedroom?

It'll be fine.

I'll turn the Cal Ripken around so he's not watching!

That's not... that's not what I meant.

Um...

I've never...

Oh.

I love you.

There's no one else for me.

I love you too.

Good.

Then get ready to have a new best day of your life.

Mm!

Where are you, Clark?

Chrissy, have you seen the case file on...

Not Chrissy.

What have you done with my father?

I walked to your house and made you an offer.

You threatened me.

There was no threat if you retired.

But I was clear.

You don't get to have your words in print anymore,

not after what you did.

You left this at my house after you called that thing.

Did I?

Prove it.

This isn't a game.

If you didn't want this, you should have taken my offer.

Where's my dad?

He won't be protecting you anymore.

Neither will Superman.

I don't need protection.

You have been hiding behind Superman

and the general your entire career.

Those days are over.

You want me to retire?

Fine.

Okay, I retire.

You're not even a good liar.

If you have hurt him, I swear to God,

I will put you away for the rest of your miserable life.

You like it here in this small town?

The "aw shucks" and the apple pie?

Makes you feel safe?

Seems fake to me.

Maybe being here will change my mind.

So, what, you're staying in Smallville?

Right there, across the street.

Oh, it's got the perfect view.

I'm not scared of you.

You will be.

Being alone like I was in prison,

nearly losing the business I built,

having my daughter turn on me,

it tested me in ways you can't possibly imagine.

At least not yet.

Nice headline.

No one has seen or heard from Superman

since the attack took place.

People have been gathering here ever since,

looking for any sign of the Man of Steel.

There are unconfirmed reports that the assailants

were using Kryptonite weaponry.

Police are continuing to investigate the crime scene.

I can confirm those reports.

What happened?

Luthor.

He was there?

Eh, more Intergang, maybe some yakuza.

But the weapons were definitely Luthor.

You're cut.

Huh? Oh.

How do these guys keep getting Kryptonite?

Let me get you a Band-Aid.

No, it's okay. It'll just, um...

Yeah.

You really had me worried there.

We just got married. I'm not ready to be a widow.

That is never gonna happen.

Says the guy who was just attacked

by two gangs with Kryptonite.

Yeah, and my cut healed.

Plus, I can fly.

I have heat vision...
