I've got to get you out of here.
Chloe? Hate to rain on your program, but I'm in a straightjacket. I'm in a cell in a lockdown wing of a hospital. I-I'm not going anywhere.
Only if you believe that's true. Simple mind over matter. Because I believe everything I see is fake, I'm not limited by it. I have power. The sooner you believe everything you see is fantasy, the sooner you can manipulate it. Break free of it.
(straightjacket disappears) How'd you do that?
I didn't. You did.
Chloe would never hurt Oliver.
Not unless he got in her way, like these guys. (they watch a video of Chloe gunning down VRA guards)
Well, I can't be right. And I hate to crash on your tea party, but my cousin is no Benedict Arnold.
She's taking out operatives in cold blood, Lois! I don't know whose side she's on, but it's not ours!
Not everybody switches sides as easily as some of us. And let's not forget, when we first met Black Canary, she was nothing more than Lex Luthor's little organ-grinder monkey. I mean, did you ever look to see who the bad guys really are before you start throwing knives and spin-kicks there, chickadee?
Violent criminals deserve to fry. And if your cousin's one of them, well, that's a campfire that I'm not afraid to sing around.
How'd you do it? Trust me, I mean - back then, before you found out.
I had my suspicions.
But that's what I mean. You knew I was lying to you, and still you looked me in the eye every day and you trusted me.
I guess that's the true test of believing in someone -- knowing that their lies are there to protect you. It's not really trust if you ask someone to explain themselves.
But that's hard.
It's really hard.
You never gave up.
And I never will.
I've been thinking about what you said -- that I should shut my eyes and ears to the outside world to figure what's true. You made me believe. And you got me to fly. Even if it was just in cyberspace.
Well, I have to say Smallville, that soaring over the Daily Planet and the spires of Metropolis was amazing.
Well, who knows? Maybe one day, we'll get to fly in the real world.
I've always believed that you can do the impossible, and one day you will.
Mom, people are upset. They're getting violent.
Clark, if you don't let me do this, there will never be a day where you can come out of hiding. People need someone to believe in.
I'm not gonna let you sacrifice yourself.
Your father and I made a pact many years ago. We knew protecting you would always be dangerous, but we vowed to do it, even if it cost us our lives. I'm willing to sacrifice the same thing your father did.
But I'm not gonna to let go on a suicide mission for me. And the person who did this to you is still out there, and I'm gonna find them. I'm not ready to say goodbye to you, too.
You know, who would have thought there would have been a day when heroes need this much protection?
It's nothing new. A long time ago, Jonathan and I realized Clark wasn't just our blessing. Someday we'd have to share him with the world. Protecting him suddenly became a much bigger responsibility.
That explains why the Red Queen eventually entered the game.
I've been watching you, too. I know you took over where Waller left off, but why did you leave Clark's side in the first place?
Same reason you did. It turns out there's a very fine line between being protective and being overprotective.
We both needed to leave for Clark to stand up on his own. But maybe we stepped away too far.
Mrs. Kent, I never stopped watching his back.
Clark needs you as much as the world needs him. You're part of this family, Chloe.
You know, growing up, I never really had much of a mother figure to look up to -- until I met you. You really taught me what it meant to take care of the people that I love.
And as Clark's oldest friend, I can't think of anyone better to watch over him.
(to Alexander) So, what was that this morning, huh? Was that, uh -- was that your idea to show daddy you got the killer instinct, too? Is that what that was?
Are you making an accusation against my son? No one will take your word, you're a convicted felon. You should have stayed out of the spotlight, but you wanted celebrity. You made one fatal mistake -- you trusted them, the people. They're vulgar, uneducated, and stupid, and they don't even know when you're fighting for them. Must be heart-wrenching.
Well, you got it all figured out. I'll tell you what -- I wouldn't underestimate the common man in tomorrow's vote. When the VRA's repealed and my name is cleared, I'm coming after you.
No, you're wrong. Tomorrow, the people will turn on you again, believe me. You missed the mark, Green Arrow.
And now its our turn... again.
No second chances, Lionel. It's time to end this family feud.
Alexander, please listen to me.
I know I'm dying. I'm aging faster and faster. I have all of Lex's memories. And he despised every single one of you.
Listen. Listen to me, son. Don't let hate master you. Make it your servant. Use it. Let it build inside of you. Hate can make you strong. I can teach you how.
There's nothing left for you to teach me.
I want to be the man that you made that suit for.
Clark, you don't need a suit the be the world's hero.
Well, when I saw those people willing to defend me, it was inspiring. It got me to thinking that, in order for The Blur to be a true beacon of hope, maybe people need to see my face, too. I've been to the future, and I saw the hero that I will become to save the city. But I also saw me -- I mean... Clark Kent -- disguised behind glasses and a bad haircut.
Well, I'm sure you still looked very handsome.
Mom, I don't how I can treat Clark Kent as a disguise. I mean, you and dad raised me to be who I am right now -- the real Clark Kent.
What's real is your strength and integrity and compassion. As long as you remain honest to those things, it doesn't matter what you wear or what name you go by, because... you'll always be my son.
So, you're saying that I should become that hero and step into the light?
Clark, you are the light.
My Turkish is a little rusty, but it seems someone managed to pull off a supersave there, and now Ankara's also wondering who America's Blur hero is. Meanwhile, in Buenos Aires, they are offering a national commendation to "El Salvador de Rojo y Azul" if he'd stand still long enough to receive it. And I won't even bother with the Chinese because I would just sound racist.
Ya know, when I said that I wanted to spoon you later, this isn't really what I had in mind.
We're lying alone together in the dark, okay. I think that counts for something.
Yeah, you're probably right. This is definitely the most romantic of my recent kidnappings. Helluva way to spend an anniversary, right? (Chloe is guilty silent) Oh, gee...you forgot!
No. No. No! I did not forget that it's been a year since we started doing.... whatever it is that we've been doing.
Whatever it is that we've...wow. You weren't joking around at the restaurant, were ya? You don't know what to call me.
Not in so many words.
Okay!
(car hits a bump) Ow!.... Oliver!
We spend every waking moment together. We've said our "I love yous" how many times, huh? Several. What do you call that?
Can we talk about this later?
Yeah, no... I'd love to do that... If there is a later.
(sighing) You're so dramatic.
I was wondering when we would meet again.
What exactly are you, Desaad?
A prophet. A servant, loyal to a far greater power.
The darkness.
To Darkseid. When he last laid his eyes upon you, you wore your sin openly. You're much more self-assured now. More love in your heart than when you faced Godfrey. Stronger than when you faced Granny, as well. Sadly incorruptible. They, much like I, have been preparing for something...amazing.
And that's why the three of you have been burning your Omega symbols on innocent people.
You act as though the marks weren't there to begin with...but I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise.
And I should be wearing a mask. Unfortunately, I've lived my entire life up until this point without needing one. That's why I've been so reluctant. I mean, this is the face that my parents raised. It's the face of the man that you love. And I don't want to deny who I am when I'm out there doing what I was born to do.
Then why bother with the jacket, Clark, the symbols?
When I'm out there in the red and blue, and I'm saving people, that's who I really am. And I know this is gonna sound weird, but it's not what I'm called that should define who I am. It's who I am that should define what I'm called. Clark Kent - it's...it's just a name. It's just a word. I am The Blur, and I always have been.
Clark, you can't just whip out a new costume at work.
The Blur is not the disguise, Lois. Clark Kent will be the mask.
Okay. Okay, but the only way the glasses are ever going to work...
If I adjust my behavior when I use them. I know. The world needs to believe that Clark Kent is way too normal to be...
Super.
And even though we silenced Godfrey, we shutdown Granny's orphanage, and buried Desaad underneath Belle Reve, it's not the last time we've seen Darkseid. But I'll be ready...(puts on glasses)...hiding in plain sight.
So you're willing to dial back the hometown hero and crank up the Average Joe?
If that's what it takes to be the hero the people need, (glasses slide down a little; he pushes glasses up nose in iconic fashion)...yes, Miss Lane, I am.
(to Chloe) You don't think we...?
Exchanged vows?
Uh, well, I mean...
Said "I do"?
...both...
Did the deed? God, don't say the word "consummate". The answer has to be "no".
