My Adventures with Superman (2023) s03e01 Episode Script

1
Well, this place has changed.
This is the beginning
of a brand new future, Kara.
Are you ready?
I am ready…
but I should be alone
when I say goodbye to father.
I must make my own peace.
Okay. I'll be right here.
- Kal-El…
- Whoa!
…may I have a word?
Uh, who are you?
Do you… work here?
I am the steward
of this fortress.
Oh. Nice to meet you, friend.
We have matters
of great urgency
to discuss with you, Kal-El.
We?
- I hesitate even…
- What are we to do?
Matters
of the greatest urgency
- have been neglected.
- We must discuss
the Kandorian crystals.
Oh, boy.
Hello, daughter.
I've come to say goodbye.
Ah, yes.
On to your new life.
You fooled Kal-El
into believing you are a hero,
and now you will try
to play the part.
But we both know
what you really are, Kara.
You are your father's daughter,
after all.
I am nothing like you.
When Kal-El realizes
- who you really are…
- I know who I am!
Oh?
Then who are you, child?
I…
I…
Rao's child stirs
in the heart of the fortress.
The reactor
is unpredictable.
You must tame it
by strength and force of will.
Wow, you are
right up in there.
Kara?
- Kal-El, you…
- We'll talk later.
But we…
He he does not
honor our ways.
He will learn.
He will have to.
Who am I?
When I say everybody
loves Halloween
at the Kent family farm,
I mean, everybody!
Jimmy Flamebird,
the dog is a gourd!
So come on out, Flamebirds,
to the annual
Kent Farm Pumpkin Patch
for the best apple-bobbing,
hay-riding,
and pumpkin-carving around!
And make sure to say hi
at the Corn Maze!
It's so big that Supergirl
had to come save me.
Your distress
was extremely audible.
Hello, humans.
Do not be deceived
by my festive disguise.
It is I,
Kara Zor-El, Supergirl,
celebrating your Earth's
Halloween.
- Who are you supposed to be?
- Ah!
Oh, our traditional disguises
have fooled you, Lois Lane.
It is I, Kara…
Yeah, I know who you are,
Kara, but what is…
Is this
a couple's costume?
We are Ace Morgan
and June Robbins
from
Challengers of the Unknown.
So that's what
you two have been up to.
"Watching television."
Yes! On the couch.
With popcorn.
Together.
Wait, are you two…
Kara, can you please
help me with this tractor?
Yes.
Could you not blow up
my spot with Kara?
You like her.
Of course, I like her, Lois!
She is fun and beautiful,
and she watches my television.
Okay, so why are you
being weird?
She clearly likes you.
And I'm crazy about her.
Being with Kara like this,
it's incredible.
But… this is as far
as it's going to go.
Jimmy…
There's a whole world out there
she hasn't seen yet,
and we both know
she can do better.
Oh, Jimmy Flamebird.
We need some more
small value Earth currency
for the children
at the Plant Labyrinth.
What? Oh, change
for the Corn Maze. Right.
Change can be good, Jimmy!
Aw, you made breakfast.
Clark.
Jimmy won't tell Kara
how he feels,
- even though he obviously…
- Whoa-ho, Lois,
we cannot get involved.
They need to figure this out
on their own.
Remember, neither of them
has any romantic experience…
Wait. Jimmy does, right?
Not that I've seen.
Wow.
So that's why
you two have bunk beds.
Okay. All right.
Let's not ruin Halloween.
Don't you just love
fall on the farm?
Of course I do.
It's beautiful.
I've been thinking
about the future…
our future, and…
What do you think
about a farm outside the city?
I could like
a hypothetical farm.
- And also a dog.
- Uh…
- Sure.
- Great.
So, hypothetically,
I found this great listing
on the apps
for a moderately-priced,
three-bed,
two-bath ranch house
just outside Metropolis
in a well-reviewed
school district…
School district?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Uh, how long have you been
looking into this?
Since Brainiac almost
destroyed the world.
It really made me think
about… the future.
Clark, that's a lot of change.
Change can be good.
But we have a good thing
going on right now.
What's the rush?
Well, if… if that's not
what you want, then we…
No, no, that's not
what I meant.
Look, Clark.
You had an amazing childhood
with Ma and Pa,
and I love them.
But I had a different
experience with my…
Dad!
- Why are you here?
- The Kents invited me.
Couldn't say no to pie.
And now that I'm retired…
Retired? Really?
I'm at the Pentagon now.
Of course you are.
You're really
just here for pie?
And to see my daughter.
I wanted to give her
something I found
while cleaning out my office.
In case you need help
finding your way.
You've got your whole future
ahead of you.
Oh. Thanks, Dad.
I also have a tip
about a recent server breach
at the Pentagon.
Here we go.
Files were stolen
detailing the decommissioned
Project Caliban…
…a biotech research program
that ran parallel
to Cadmus and Task Force X.
Wait, a Kryptonian
biotech program?
Exactly.
I think you should have your
"flying friend" look into it.
Awesome. Thanks for the tip.
Wait, Lois.
Superman should look into this.
Do you hear me? Superman.
This must be it.
But you promise we'll be back
in time to hand out candy?
Of course.
I will not let down
the children of Metropolis
or you.
These are all empty.
They really
cleared this place out.
If they were ever here at all.
There were no roads
leading in.
There's no plumbing.
Some of these buildings
don't even have doors.
This whole place seems fake.
So why build a fake facility?
Oh, look. A dog.
Kara, not all Earth animals
are dogs.
See? That's a deer.
Not a deer! Not a deer!
I told you it was a dog.
I would like to pet you.
Well, this is different.
Looks like the door
was forced open.
By something really strong.
Then something re-sealed it
from the inside.
Something that could
still be down there.
Let us investigate.
Wait, you're just gonna
march on in there?
Courage is a Kryptonian
virtue, Kal-El.
And what could be
better than solving
an actual mystery on Halloween
with your three best friends?
I don't know.
Bobbing for apples?
Relax, Smallville.
We've got Superman
to keep us safe.
Wow, this place
goes pretty deep.
I hope all that digging
didn't upset
the underground Dino-people.
Jimmy, the Earth isn't hollow,
and there isn't a secret race
of Dino-people living inside.
Oh, just like how aliens
and Bigfoot
weren't real?
- Clark doesn't count…
- Uh, thanks?
…and your "Bigfoot"
was a French gorilla.
Whoa.
I think we found
what we're looking for.
What is all this?
I don't know.
But whatever it is…
There's been fighting here.
Hey, y'all, there are a lot
of documents over here.
Official government records.
Confidential memos?
Hello?
"Subject: B-1Z.
DNA sequence:
Extraterrestrial.
Viable"?
Where are you now?
"Genome sequencing.
Tissue samples
from Zero Day?"
Were they making
some type of weapon?
It is Kryptonian DNA,
Kal-El, in these tanks.
They were trying
to create something.
They were trying to create us.
Guys?
Hey, where is everyone?
Lois!
- Is this a dog?
- No!
Clark!
This way!
We're safe.
Decontamination complete.
Incredible.
This is Kryptonian flora.
But how?
This is an oregus.
This, a blood bloom.
And… Uh, Jimmy Flamebird,
the Kandorian ivy
likes you very much.
Um, thank you, Kara.
The forest thins out
over here!
Were they planting
more Earth trees here, or what?
No. There's a body
buried here.
- What?
- Oh! Who?
And his ID says
he's Dr. George Otto Binder.
So, something
got loose in here
and… killed
the researchers.
But if something killed him,
why would it bury him?
No!
It is a Kryptonian clone.
An abomination.
B-1Z.
We're not here to hurt you.
Uh, what's he so afraid of?
What in the world?
It is…
like your Earth.
Was someone…
raising a child in here?
Help me.
There's someone in trouble.
You will be okay.
This is normal.
You can ask for help.
But remember,
being angry is never
a reason to hurt someone.
Make a different choice.
Everyone has bad days
and sad times,
but you have the power
to choose who you want to be.
No matter what,
choose to be kind.
Help.
Help.
Help!
Help.
Help me.
Help me.
Help me.
Get back!
Clark!
You two, stay with Kara.
Clark, wait!
This… this is what
destroyed the lab, isn't it?
It was trying to get to you.
No!
Some people
may be afraid of you.
Fear makes people act
irrationally, aggressively.
But you can help them
past their fear.
Who is this guy?
It's Dr. Binder.
Wait, the scientist
who was buried back there?
And the geneticist
in charge of Project Caliban.
So, he was raising
the clone here
to be his weapon.
No.
That clone
is a weapon so dangerous
that the government
shut this whole lab down.
Do you not see it?
Binder taught this child
how to nurture and grow.
Do you think my father
allowed me reverence for life?
I do not even know
how to grieve.
This is not the way
you raise a weapon.
Not the way I was raised.
So, Binder
was protecting the clone
from the people
who would exploit him.
Are you all right?
Ten, nine…
…eight, seven…
It's going
to self-destruct. Run!
…six, five…
…four, three,
two, one, zero.
Operational
security compromised.
Flooding to commence. Evacuate.
My friend.
Kal-El?
Where are you?
Clark.
Lois?
What happened?
Trick or treat!
So, what've we got here?
A bird. Oh, a plane, and…
Aw. Hi there.
Your life
is yours to create.
With your powers,
the possibilities are endless.
You are so special, son.
As long as you choose
to be good, to be kind,
your choices
will change the future
in ways that you and I
can't even imagine.
What's the word
on Caliban, boss?
Our drone
didn't make it out.
The footage
has been compromised.
It's incomplete,
but I've seen enough.
Should I fetch the drone?
No, forget about Caliban.
It was a failure.
Let's go see Hank Henshaw.
Henshaw?
That man needs machines
just to breathe.
Exactly.
He's perfect.
What could be better
than solving
an actual mystery
on Halloween?
Oh, I don't know.
I mean, there's corn,
there's turkeys, there's hay.
Just generally speaking,
bales of hay.
And knitting! We can't assume
knitting's off the table…
We just can't.
Okay, you know that feeling
where you walk outside
and it's October,
and you're like,
"Ooh, do I need a sweater?"
But then the sun hits you
and you're like,
"Hmm, maybe I don't."
And then you're like,
"Or do I?"
And finally, you realize
that it doesn't matter,
because it's
that perfect temperature
where you're comfortable
with and without long sleeves.
That… that is better
than solving this mystery.
Right, guys?
Guys?
