CLARK: Previously,
on "Superman and Lois"...


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


- My dad got a job offer in Bristol.

I think we're going to have to move.

I saw you die. I lost Natalie.

ALL: No more DOD.

The DOD has been here for a month.

People wanna know
when you're going to leave.

When I think it's safe.

I got an offer to sell the Gazette.

Chrissy, they will destroy
everything we've built here.

I don't have a choice.

What? Edge somehow
made himself the Eradicator?

- Oh my...
- [BRAKES SCREECHING]

Jordan!

I love you.

- No!
- Go find him.

I've looked everywhere. He's gone.

- What are we gonna do?
- I don't know.


Well done, my son. Let's begin.

I've been unable to locate
Jordan Kent or Morgan Edge.


Shall I continue searching?

John, shall I keep searching?

Yes.

And don't stop.

You're going to fail, again.

What about Edge's fortress
in the Badlands?

I looked there. Mine too.

His office, his lab?

I've searched them all.

You can't hear him anywhere?

I'm listening for both of them.

But... I don't understand.
Where could he be hiding?

I don't know.

My AI hasn't picked up anything yet.

- I'm gonna go back out.
- I'll come with you.

No, please just stay here
in case something happens.

[WHIMPERS] Clark.

Lois.

- You have to...
- I will find him.

I will not stop looking until I do.

We should get to...

♪ ♪

- Help.
- Here, here, here.

- Let... let me get him.
- Let me get him.

Let me get him, okay?

Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.

We need to get them both to a hospital.

- We don't have time.
- General, listen,

you're hurt, you could have
internal injuries.

All I care about is finding

the son of a bitch who took my grandson.

Lana, I think I have some
slings in the truck, okay?

Let's just take it easy right here.

- Sweety, are you okay?
- Yeah, yeah,

I'll be all right, thank you.

I told him what happened
with Edge and who he...

who he was.

John, why would he take Jordan?

Stop.

I need to speak with Larr.

Our orders are to take her...

I'm speaking with her.

What? You need me to call my dad?

Five minutes.

One minute.

Tell me where Edge took Jordan.

Well, I don't know.

This world's pretty big.

Just think of all the places
he could hide.

Where is my son?

Your son?

I'm sure he's long gone by now.

What have you done to him?

The world's best
investigative journalists

can't figure that out?

All you care about is one person

when everyone else
on this planet's about to die.

How pathetically human.

We're gonna find them.

Really?

Because you have
no idea what's coming next.

Even Superman won't be able to stop it.

- Time's up.
- I'll say.

That look on your face,

I know it well.

It's the same one I had
the moment I realized

there was nothing
I could do to save Krypton.

[LAUGHS]

[CROWD CLAMORING]

Damn it. I don't have time for this.

- Are you okay, sir?
- I'm fine.

What the hell is going on here?

They've been here for
a while, sir. Won't leave.

We're going to have to make 'em.

So, we can go,

or we can stay and help.

We stay and help.

We help.

Okay.

[VOICES OVERLAPPING]

Jordan!

[ECHOING]

Jordan!

Dad!

[ECHOING] Dad!

[CROWD CLAMORING]

Hey, hey, hey! Listen...

Everyone, quiet down.

[WHISTLES]

[CROWD CALMS]

Everybody, listen up.

I thought you left town already.

Hey, just please listen

to what General Lane has to say, okay?

It is for everyone's safety.

We all saw what Edge did to Metropolis.

- That's right.
- Come on, man.

Why don't you tell us
what's really going on?

I need you all to go home

and stay there until
we tell you it's safe to leave.

It isn't safe?

But they said on the news
that Superman saved Metropolis.

And the people that
he infected were apprehended.

He did, they were.

Then why are you still in Smallville?

Because Edge wasn't caught, was he?

[CROWD MURMURING]

[WHOOSHING]

[PEOPLE GASPING]

Oh, my God, what is that?

Dad.

Jordan. Jordan.

Hey, are you okay? Are you hurt?

No, no, no, no, no.
I-I-I don't think so.

What happened?

You... you don't remember?

I-I was in an accident

with... with John
and-and Sarah and Grandpa,

and then Edge grabbed me, and
then next thing I remember...

[COUGHING]

I was eradicated.

There's that weakness, Kal-El.

Zeta?

You did this to my son?

He's the perfect vessel.

He's a child!

Who possesses the untapped power

of Kryptonian with the easily
manipulated mind of a human.

Now I will mold both
into proper greatness.

- You're a monster.
- What I am is committed.

And no one, especially
the son of Jor-El,

will keep me from
ensuring our people survive.

- Wait up what is that?
- Is that Morgan Edge?

- Move, move, move!
- Everyone, get back!

Move, move, move!

- Fan out.
- Go, go, go.

Jordan, stop!

Dad... Da... Da... Dad

ple... please help me.

I-I don't wanna die.

Jordan, Jordan hold on.

I sacrifice my only son
to save our people

and you don't even have
the strength to strike yours.

Go, move.

Where is he?

He's trying to save your brother.

Mom!

- We have backup coming.
- Where?

Target acquired.

Come on.

- [BEEPING]
- Power down to %.

Fire!

[WHOOSHING]

No!

There's nothing you can do now, Kal-El.

The Defense Council has risen.

What's that in his hand?

That's Kryptonite.

Oh, my God.

No.

[WHOOSHING]

We need to evacuate Smallville

- Everyone?
- They need to get as far away

from here as possible
as quickly as possible.

Twitter, mass email,
put out a special edition

of the "Gazette", whatever we need to do

to get these people
the hell out of Dodge.

- Sure.
- Yeah.

We'll... we'll spread the word
whether they wanna

- hear from us or not.
- Yeah.

Whatever we need to do.

General, have you heard
any word on Jordan?

Not yet.

But we have the world's finest
looking for him.

Okay.

Come on.

Zeta-Rho was just toying with me.

Jordan's still in there,
but I don't know how much time

we have before he's gone.

Scheer, Knopes, Foss.

Has he eradicated some of your soldiers?

- Six of my best.
- Were they from Smallville?

- None of 'em.
- Well, why would he do that?

Their powers won't last.

He must just need them temporarily.

How did he do it?

Created some kind of energy field.

Like in Sentenial Park.

When I used one of
my solar flares on him,

it made it a dent.

Then we need as much as we can get.

Call Lyla. Get another
m*ssile from ARGUS.

The one they sent was
the only one they had.

Okay well, there's gotta be
something else

we can do, right?

Right?

I have some solar weapons left.

It might do the trick.

Plus, there's some ones you took.

Okay.

Look, son, how about you and me see

if we can throw something together?

- Yeah.
- Come on.

Clark, when Zod was in your mind,

how tough was he to overcome?

Nearly impossible.

All right. I'm gonna go
prepare for when we find him

'cause we will,

or he'll find us.

And I'll need to know what you
want to do when that happens.

How do I do this?

How do I stop the new Subjekts,
Edge the way he is now

and save Jordan all at once?

You can't, Clark.

You have to let us help you.

You and John Henry can take down Edge,

and Jonathan and I will save Jordan.

- How?
- With the same device

that Edge used on you
to access your memories.

We can use it to save Jordan.

- Lois...
- You and Kyle

and all the other people
that Edge used as Subjekts,

you all said the same thing...

that there was a darkness
that overcame you

when you were eradicated.

I've been helping Jordan push
through that darkness

his whole life.

I can do it now.

I can access his memories
and wake him up.

Yeah, but they won't just be
Jordan's memories,

they'll be Zeta-Rho's too.

And if he realizes you're in
there like I did with the Edge,

he'll wake up,
and then he'll come for you.

And if that happens,
Jonathan will be there.

I have seen him under pressure
and he is in complete control.

Clark, you and I brought the
boys into the superhero world

and I wasn't sure it was
the right thing to do

but I have seen
how capable they've become.

They're strong like their father.

Like their mother.

- [WHOOSHING]
- [BELL RINGING]

_

The road is closed for your safety.

We're going to evacuate Downtown now.

_

No, no, no, the DOD
just issued the order.

We have to go, Mom.

All right, tell Soph we'll meet
up soon, okay?

- And be careful.
- We gotta go.

Here's all the weapons I borrowed.

Hey...

You still haven't gotten
looked at, have you?

I will, I will.

You go take care of the world,

I'll take care of my family.

[WHIRRING]

[HAMMER HUMMING]

[WHOOSHING]

So the good news... Red solar tech

plus the hammer's kinetic force

should pierce
the Eradicator's energy field

and dissipate his power reserves.

Meaning?

- This...
- [POWERS ON]

- can stop him.
- Provided you throw it

- from a far enough distance.
- That's the bad news.

The hammer needs to gain maximum force,

which means a long throw.

And Edge needs to be locked down

- dead center of the bullseye.
- I'm guessing

you only get one sh*t at this.

I'll handle Edge.

Right, 'cause that's totally doable.

I mean, he only has, like, six other

badass Kryptonian dudes with him.

Look, those are terrible odds.
This is really the plan?

- It's the only plan we've got.
- Okay. I mean, what about us?

You'll be guarding your mother
while she finds her way

into one of Jordan's memories.

The hell's that thing?

It's a restored w*apon
of Thaddeus Killgrave's.

- Who?
- All you need to know

is you don't use this
unless you have to.

Big, small, natural, or otherwise,

they can change a place forever.

And it's not just
the physical destruction.


Sometimes it's the people
who may never be the same.


Oftentimes, a crisis has a way

of revealing a person's true nature,

for better or worse.

Which brings me to Morgan Edge.

Now, I know there will be
a lot of questions


about how a simple businessman

could have orchestrated
the strange events


that happened here.

I want the world to know the truth.

Morgan Edge is not from this planet.

He, in fact, is from Krypton.

Morgan Edge is Kryptonian?

Yes. I only discovered this recently

when he revealed he wanted
to turn humans into our kind.

You mean Smallvillians into Kryptonians.

Yes, using a device from Krypton

to supplant the human mind
with a Kryptonian one

and a mineral only found here

that would grant the host powers.

That's why he was here
and why he purchased minds.

First, take over Smallville
then the world?

Something like that.

And is it still possible
for these Kryptonian minds

to be implanted in humans?

No, not anymore.

Makes me wonder, are you at all worried

that this would make people
afraid of Kryptonians?

[CHUCKLES]

You mean me?

That's not something
I will ever be able to control.

But I know who I really am,

just like I know who the people
of Smallville really are.

What do you mean by that?

[CHUCKLES]

This small town was hurting.

Its people were hurting.

An event this big
could have destroyed it,

could've torn it apart, but it didn't.

It brought it back together.

I saw people find strength
they didn't know they had,

face their fears, become heroes.

I'm not the one who saved Smallville.

Its people did.

And I know because of this experience,

by going through this together,

Smallville will be stronger
than it has ever been before.
