Show me where Oliver is.
Would you sacrifice your sanity to save the Archer?
Smallville · Season 1
Show me where Oliver is.
Would you sacrifice your sanity to save the Archer?
I died to save the world.
Evil never ends. By sacrificing yourself, you have left the humans vulnerable to future threats.
I left a team of heroes behind to protect them.
You were meant to be Earth's greatest protector. Now, they are about to face the greatest evil without you.
Then send me back! I know my fate! To step into the light! To be a symbol of hope for them.
I told you to rule with strength, but you chose the martyr's path. What makes you think you deserve a second chance?
I can do it. I can be their hero!
Sometimes I think it would be easier if you were here.
Not a day goes by, Clark, when I don't regret not being able to be right here for you. I would do anything, I would give anything to able to get a second chance to get it right. You got that second chance, son. You could be the greatest hero the world has ever known.
Not according to Jor-El.
Well, then, do what you do best. Prove him wrong. Jor-El was right about one thing. Something dark is coming. You're gonna be tested. It's not gonna be easy, son. But I have faith in you.
I defeated Lex. I refused to let him win. And I pushed myself harder than I ever have before. For a second, I thought I was flying. But I saved everyone, I don't know how but I saved them all. I've finally become the hero you sent me here to be.
Pride... vanity... you almost took a man's life and you dare tell me you are following the path that I set out for you?
You told me that I have unfinished business. An evil here that I had to face! And Lex...!
The evil is you, Kal-El. The greatest threat Earth will face is coming. It preys on wavering souls like yours. Once this darkness consumes you, you will be Earth's greatest enemy.
That's not my fate.
You cannot be a beacon of hope when you have darkness in your heart.
Then why did you send me back? Why did you give me a second chance?!
I didn't. It was not my decision to give you back your life.
You may not see me as a hero. But the rest of the world does! And I decide my fate!
I regret as a father, my faith in you blinded me to the truth. You will never be Earth's savior.
Your satellite was tracking them -- symbols that looked just like The Blur's, which makes him the person of interest. But what's your connection to all this?
Man, I told you. You got this whole thing wrong, okay? I'm what you call a good guy here! I'm not guilty of anything here except trying to save the world! All right? And I would tell you who from but I don't think you'd believe me.
Try me.
These little green guys from outer space. (laughs)
[Reading Chloe's letter to Oliver] "Oliver, I never thought I'd have to tell you how I feel about us because the smile on my lips when I looked at you pretty much said it all. But now that you won't be seeing it anymore I'll have to use words to tell you. I've never loved anyone the way I've loved you and I never will again. You are my brightest star, my knight in shining leather, my hero." ...Oliver, this may be difficult for you to face, but I didn't write this. We both know Chloe did.
(to Oliver) Trust never was the golden rule for the kids in this clubhouse.
You know, the philosopher Nietzsche believed we shouldn't live for the future, but for the present. He thought that people who chased after some far-off future dream were really running away from their true destiny.
Yeah, well, Nietzsche can call me a chicken if he wants, but he has never dated someone like Clark Kent.
It wouldn't have mattered. To him, the true hero was the person who embraced the life that he or she was given and made it better. He called that person "Übermensch".
A Superman.
Nietzsche believed we could all be one. In our own way.
(to Lois) I guess you never know what fate has planned for you.
Let's give these boys a taste of what it's like to mess with the Suicide Squad.
It was a start.
It's not flying if it's mostly falling.
(to Clark) Are you sure you can win against me? You know what I am. You know the doubt in your heart. You so-called heroes are false gods, all of you. And when people stop believing in you, you'll shatter like glass.
Somebody should put Godfrey in some serious restraints. Who knew Mr. Family Values had such a dark side?
Godfrey's not so special. There's two sides to everyone... even heroes.
It's critical that I get my image around the city, as soon as possible. You just have to trust me Kal-El. I'm doing this for you.
Kara, this doesn't feel like much of a favor.
I've searched so long for my mother, and I never found her. You and I are the last survivors of the House of El. And after everything that we've been through together, I had to come back to the one place in the universe that I had family.
Well, what you are doing right now, flies in the face of how I've chosen to live on this planet my whole life. We both know that. Now if you really care about family, tell me what you doing here and stop avoiding the question!
I didn't want to hurt you. Jor-El has given me a mission. I'm getting my powers and image around the city as part of it.
He gave you a mission? What did he say?
He's let you go, Kal-El. I'm sorry. He says, you're no longer his son.
There is a guy out there, Gordon Godfrey, and he thinks that Green Arrow is my ex-boyfriend.
He does?
Hmm.
You know I think we just leave him alone. You know let the blowhard eventually blow himself out, and in the meantime I can handle a few slings and arrows. I'm sure you can too.
Oliver, Godfrey's got proof! He has a secret chapter about you, and he's gonna post it online tomorrow. He knows who you are.
Maybe people deserve to know the truth.
People deserve to be saved. And it's safer for you to be in the shadows, it's safer for all the heroes.
Maybe, or maybe the cost of keeping my secret is getting too high, and it's time to pay the piper.
If you're not seriously gonna stand up and kick this creep to the curb, then I will!
