Superman and Lois (2021) s03e10 Episode Script

Previously on "Superman and Lois"
We didn't need your help.
He and the other firefighters
found ice inside the store.
Mr. Cushing said that this
is not the first time
that something like this has happened.
Congratulations, Superboy.
They're onto you.
I think we put Lex Luthor in prison
for a crime he didn't commit.
These victims, Intergang, Boss Moxie
Lex Luthor didn't kill them.
[SCREAMING]
She's contained.
That'll keep her powers
from working while she's here.
I think it's time that I show
you what I've been working on.
Ever since your mom's cancer returned
Is that Superman?
It's the Superman
of the Inverse World, son.
It's how I found
the cure to save your mom.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Breast cancer has been
the fight of my life.
And finally, this part of it,
the chemotherapy,
is over.
You did it.
We did it.
But like everything in life,
this journey has not just been about me.
Cancer affects many more people
than just the ones who have it.
It has affected everyone I love,
especially my family.
But it's because of my family
that I'm standing here today.
You gave me the strength
And you gave me the hope
that I needed
to see this day.
And I love you all.
Especially you.
Screw cancer!
ALL: Screw cancer!

Okay,
I think that's it.
Where's the Mannheim board?
- [SNAPS FINGERS]
- [WHOOSHING]
- Thanks, babe.
- Yeah.
You still having second thoughts?
I don't think publishing that story
was the right thing to do.
Well, after the Henry Miller attack,
we didn't have a choice.
It put the pressure on Bruno.
But he still hasn't returned
what he stole from the DOD.
If he wants to see his wife, he will.
It's not right. Peia's dying.
Hey, I don't like it either,
but your dad won't budge.
I mean, he barely agreed
to let Matteo visit.
Maybe he'll change his mind
if I can get a confession out of Peia.
She hasn't spoken a word
since the arrest.
She might to me, and if nothing else,
at least I can say
what I wanna say to her.
You wanna come?
I think I'm gonna stay.
I've hardly spent any time
with the boys lately.
Feel like we could use
a good father-son hang.
That's a good idea.
Do something fun.
Yeah.
♪
Okay, what do you think?
- You look pretty.
- I like the dress better.
Red's a power color.
I want the governor
to see me as a leader.
You're the mayor, Mom.
You're kind of the leader by default.
Kerry Wexler is a big deal.
I mean, a successful businesswoman,
a single mother.
If I do this right, it could
lead to big things for us
state senator,
maybe even Congress.
Regardless,
it's a chance for Smallville
to get some good press.
Uh, is the "Gazette" covering the visit?
Yeah, Chrissy is.
That gonna be weird?
The mayor's ex-husband's new girlfriend
just hanging around all day?
No, it's not like their relationship's
gonna come up. It'll be fine.
Okay, good to go?
- Definitely.
- You're gonna kill it, Mom.
Mwah. Your abuela's gonna
come pick you up in an hour.
What are you doing today?
I don't know, probably just nothing.
All right, well, text me
if you go somewhere.

With this stall
in the Mannheim investigation,
there is barely enough stories
to fill out tomorrow's paper.
Well, can't you just use AP stuff?
I guess.
Maybe this meeting with Governor Wexler
will give me 2,000 words.
[CHUCKLES]
I may have something.
Oh, yeah?
- [CHUCKLES]
- Yup.
So this is Fowe's.
Right? And all that ice,
that just, uh, appeared
after the fire
was mysteriously extinguished.
Same thing happened
last year at the town hall.
Someone in Smallville has powers.
I think this is what you
should be writing about.
Sorry, but I [CHUCKLES]
I can't publish any of this.
Seriously?
I think it's a pretty big deal, Chrissy.
[CHUCKLES] I mean, you have no proof.
This is the proof.
This looks like Freon.
A a refrigerator probably
burst or something.
It's not refrigerant.
I would've smelled that.
Even if this person was real,
all they've done is help.
Why go to all the trouble
to expose them?
After everything that we've been through
in Smallville, don't you think
that we deserve the truth?

Look, babe, I I I'm no journalist.
okay, but
I think this is a really big story.

I was thinking the three of us
could, uh, hang out today
you know, do something fun,
maybe see a movie or fly somewhere?
Yeah, cool.
Anything fun you guys wanna do?
I don't know, not really.
Okay.
How 'bout this? I come
up with something,

Yo, there's a senior kegger
at the old fairgrounds.
We should go.
I mean, we don't really have
any friends who are seniors.
So we'll make friends.
Besides, Sarah's going.
What? Sarah texted you?
Yeah, because, A, we're friends,
and, B, you won't stop barfing out
how much you're in love with her.
That's only, like, half true.
Okay.
The fairgrounds are so far
outside of town.
I'm gonna call Candice.
Maybe she can make
the drive down in time.

made plans with Dad.

Huh? [LAUGHS]
Tonight!
Wrestle Rumble 40 in Metropolis,

It's Bam the Bulldozer!
Guys, come on!
We used to go all the time
when we lived in Metropolis.
Good luck, Jon.
W what's going on?
Uh, well,
that sounds cool, uh, but we
kind of already have plans.
What? I thought we had plans.
Well, I mean, we had
plans to have plans,
but now something's come up.
Candice was gonna come down,
and we were gonna hang
with her and Sarah.
Yeah, just super low-key.
Okay, well, have them join.
Dad.
What? I I just thought
it'd be fun for us
to all spend some time together.
Yeah, well, we'll do something else
more fun real soon.
I promise.
We kind of have to get going.
Okay, yeah. Um, um, tell the girls hi.
- Thanks anyway, Dad.
- Mm-hmm.
Not sure you're gonna get
the results you wanted there.
I need to make this right.
It's not about you, pumpkin.
It's about her.
I'm afraid Peia Mannheim's

Hmm.
My mastectomy is in two days.
Mm.
You feeling nervous?
I was a mess. [CHUCKLES]
I feel better now.
Still
Yeah.
It's hard to put in words

I missed having you to talk to.
Guess cancer does
make strange bedfellows.

Things are going to get written

This is your one chance
to tell your side of the story.
And what's that story?
Hmm?
A superpowered monster
who's been running loose in Hob's Bay?
Is that really how you see yourself?
'Cause the woman I know

Okay.
So the boys didn't wanna
hang out with you, huh?
Yeah, they said something came up.
[SCOFFS] Yeah, I bet it did.
All right, all right.
Like, I
I finally have time
to hang out with them,
and they couldn't get
away from me fast enough.
They're teenage boys.
Hanging out with boring old Dad
just isn't a priority,
even if their dad is you-know-who.
Feel like some people
would think that's pretty cool.
Yeah, well, those
people aren't your sons.
- Yeah.
- You, Clark,
are fast approaching
the obsolescence phase
of fatherhood.
Just be glad they don't hate you.
For most of us, that's considered a win.
- How's it going in there?
- Mm, a lot of backstory,
feelin' all sorry for herself.
But I think Lois is about
to get her on the hook.
[DEVICE BLIPS]
Did Boss Moxie ever find out
about you and Bruno?
No.
We managed to keep it a secret.
He must've been suspicious, though.
Hard hard to say.
Why is that?
We weren't actually dating
for very long before [COUGHS]
Boss was murdered by Lex Luthor.
I see.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
I listened to Luthor's confession again,
and I don't think
it was him on that tape.
I think it was you.
He had a motive.
So did you and Bruno.
The way that Moxie and
his men were murdered,
your powers did that.
I don't know what you're talking about.
It's the only thing
that makes sense, Peia.
You and Bruno killed Boss Moxie,
took over Hob's Bay,
and you used Luthor as your fall guy.
♪
Have you ever been in a room alone
with Lex Luthor?
He has this aura.
It's terrifying,
like you're in the presence
of the devil himself.
To this day, that man
is the only person in the world
who scares me.
But he didn't kill Moxie or his men.
- You did.
- I can tell you
about a dozen other crimes
Luthor committed that are far worse
than what happened to Boss.
- Peia.
- Don't do this, Lois.
I helped put a man behind bars
for a crime he didn't commit.
And the world is better for it.
Lex Luthor was a monster
before he went to prison.
Can you imagine what he's become since?
Setting him free would
be the biggest mistake
of your life.
That's not a denial.

His dad was murdered.
Cut him some slack.
He's still a dick.
So is this what being friends
with you is like?
Just getting pissy every time
I'm talking to another guy?
- That's not it.
- Then what is it?
It's because you looked
annoyed that I came
to talk to you when you were with him.
You barged into our conversation
while he was telling a story.
- You shooed me away.

going to take a while

As of recently, yes.
Ah, let me guess.
He got bored and traded you in

Oh, don't be embarrassed.

Wait, last time we talked
about it, you were so excited.
