Superman and Lois (2021) s04e10 Episode Script

It Went By So Fast

1
Previously on "Superman & Lois"
I'm really glad that you
and Mr. Irons are
spending time together
you deserve it.
I think that you should go study abroad.
Really?
The armor has been infused with
kryptonite-laced screws to explode
that old man's heart of his.
We're partners. You can't just
I am in control!
Not you!
Are you ready to die
for me one more time?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
He found that monster.
He's going to unleash that thing
on everyone here.

[CRASHING]

I love all of you.
Clark?
I always will
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
It couldn't have been easy.

I just don't wanna be like my parents
and say no to this kind of opportunity.
It was a miracle they let me
go away for college at Stanhope.
And the program's for
the whole semester?
Whole year.
I don't know how Kyle and I
are gonna pay for it,
but we'll figure something out.
How are you feeling about
Sarah being out of the country?
Nervous.
Scared.
But also, I'm excited for her.
She gets to do the thing
I never did, travel the world.
It's still gonna be hard, you know,
not seeing your daughter every day.
It's always hard not seeing
the people you care about.
Best of three?
You know I would spend more
time with you if I could.
I know.
But I think we should be
honest with each other.
I mean, we've gone on, what,
four dates in how many months?
Too many.
Maybe it's just not meant to be.
[DISTANT CRASHING]
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
What was that?
[ROARING]
Yo, everybody get out of here.
- It's back.
- No, no.
Stay here. Okay?
Where where are you going?
That thing killed Clark last time.
I'm not gonna let that happen again.
John!
[GLASS SHATTERING]
[HIGH-PITCHED RINGING]
[HEARTBEAT THUMPING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[ROARING]
Find cover!
Take cover!
Do you see what you did?
This was never part of the plan!
There was only one plan!
To hurt me and my family.
I tried stopping him.
He wouldn't listen.
Because you thought
you could fix Lex Luthor.
There's no fixing that psychopath.
I told you this is exactly
what would happen,
and now everyone in
this town is in danger.
Which is why they should leave.

[BOOMING]
- What are you doing here?
- Just trying to help.
No. You're not ready
to fight that thing.
How are you gonna stop it?
- I'll find a way.
- Dad!
This is not up for debate.
Just keep everyone safe.

John?
John?
It's okay. It's okay.
I'm just a little shaken up.
[GASPING]
Your side.
I must have fallen on something.
- It's fine.
- No
- I'm fine.
- It doesn't look fine.
Look, I need to get back to my garage.
There has to be something
there that can help.
Then I'm coming with you.
No, Lana.
I am the mayor of Smallville.
I am not hiding.
Not this time.
Okay.
Come on.

- Where's your father?
- He took off with that thing.
- You have to help him.
- We tried.
He won't let us.
[ROARING]

What the
Boys!

[CRASHING]
Clark!
Clark, please get up!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
- Help him.
- But Dad said that
Forget what he said. That
thing's about to kill him.
BOTH: Fraternals.

[ROARING]

Come and get me.
[ROARING]
Or me.
[ROARING]

How close are you to
finishing the war suit?
I'm nowhere near.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yeah, it's fine.
Is there anything else?
Everything is at the DOD.
Except for the prototype Nat
and I have been working on.
What's it do?
It attaches to anything
metal or kryptonite nearby.
- And then?
- Boom.
How many of these do you have?
This is it.
You're only gonna get one shot at this.
What are you gonna use?
Something that makes a bigger boom.
Clark.
Clark, please.
You have to wake up.
Please.
Clark.
What?
I know where to go.
It took off after the boys.
I told them to stay away.
I told them to save their father.
Lois!
It was gonna kill you, Clark.
I'm their father.
I have to keep them safe.
And how do you plan on
doing that if you're dead?
The boys do not live
in a bubble anymore.
They live in the real world
with real threats.
They're not ready.
Alone, sure.
But they have each other,
and they have you.
And that's gonna have to be enough.
It is time you finally accept
you can't do this
on your own anymore.
He doesn't have to.
We have an idea.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Boys.
Lure that thing to Main Street.
When you get to me, split off.
Let's go!

Now!

[SOLEMN MUSIC]

Nice work.
Is it dead?
For now.
Won't it just come back stronger?
Not if I get it to the sun first.
You're taking it to the sun?
It doesn't heal from the sun like I do.
The sun will make it weak.
What if it wakes up
before you get there?
This is gonna work.

[MOUTHING WORDS]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

We need to hurry.
Once Luthor realizes that thing is gone,
he's gonna come after us.
All of us.
That's a lot of people.
Even for Luthor.
Yeah, but he doesn't leave loose ends.
Like Amanda McCoy.
Who?
The ice queen that works for him
she knows everything about Luthor.
If she turns on him
you need to find Amanda
and bring her here.
Now we show the world
who Luthor really is.

[PHONE BUZZING]
What?
I expect loyalty, Amanda.
That works both ways, Lex.
You had mine.
Until you betrayed me.
Betrayed you?
I was in Smallville,
and you sent that thing
to destroy the town.
You don't give a damn about me!
I used to.
But you never loved me.
You can't love anyone else.
I'm resigning from LuthorCorp
first thing tomorrow.
You can have your shares back.
That won't be necessary.
[WHIRRING]
Goodbye, Amanda.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Where are they taking her?
It looks like back to Smallville.
I should have listened to you.
That doesn't matter right now.
If Luthor tried to kill you
once, he's gonna try again.
So you're gonna tell the world the truth
about what Luthor has done.
All of it.
That's why you brought me here?
To make some kind of confession?
The public won't believe me
because of your lies,
- but they will believe you.
- Lois
You helped create this problem,
and now you're gonna help fix it.
Livestream's ready.
Once we get on the air, Luthor's done.
It's game over.
Lex is going to try and stop us.
My boys will slow him down.
Give us the time we need.
That suit has been totally upgraded.
It is laced with kryptonite, the
weapons have been improved,
and Milton is on comms to troubleshoot.
Milton?
Milton Fine.
Lex's tech expert.
That's the guy who stole my suit.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Where is he?

[SOFT GRUMBLING]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[SOLEMN MUSIC]

[BOOMING]
Lois, we're streaming.
This is Lois Lane reporting live
from Smallville, where an attack
is underway, an attack from
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

This again?
Network's down.
Milton knocked it out.

Lex is coming.

Target acquired.
[WHOOSHING]

[WHIRRING]
[BOOMING]
[THUDS]

[GASPING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Please don't.
Jordan?
I let you live, and you
think you can what?
Get in my way?
You are weak and worthless,
just like your mother.
Please.
Begging won't help.
Not anymore.
Luthor, stop.
It's me you want, not him.
I think we're past the point of this
just being about us, Lois.
You are such a coward,
wearing a war suit
to fight my 16-year-old son.
Your son with powers.
Clark didn't have powers
when he beat your ass
all over the street.
Shut your mouth.
Why don't you stop going after my family
and come after me?
Are you that scared of me?
Are you so afraid of a woman
that you have to lash out
at everyone but her?
I will kill you right here.
Then do it!
I am not afraid of you, but you have
always been terrified of me.
Time to die, Lois.

[BEEPING]
[BOOMING]
Honey, are you okay?
I can't hear Jon.
Lois!
We're not done.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
You can't stop me!
No, but he can.

Find your brother.
All right.

[BLOWS LANDING]
[CLANKING]

[WEAPONS FIRING]
[GRUNTING]

[SCREAMS]

Jon?
Hey.
Jon.
Wake up.
Jon.

Jon?
Wake up.
Wake up!
Come on.
Jon.
Wake up.
Come on, Jon.
You can't die.
Wake up! Wake up!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[BOOMING]
[GASPS]
[GROANS SOFTLY]
What the hell?
You're alive.
Did you just blow me up?
[SOMBER MUSIC]

[CRYING] Please don't leave me.
I promise I won't.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

You! [GRUNTS]
Die!

Death of Superman
not something you see every day.
[BEEPING]
But I can always watch this later.
Don't move.
Put your hands in the air.
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]
You stole my suit.
Your suit?
Um, could you maybe describe it for me?
[GRUNTS] Ow.
That suit?
I'm sorry. My bad.
Now you are gonna do
exactly what I tell you.
The power's back.
He did it.
- Go get the camera.
- Mom!
[TENSE MUSIC]
Where's Dad?
Fighting Luthor.

Die!
Why won't you die?

[WHIRRING]
[SCREAMING]

[CRUNCHING]
Kryptonite screws disabled.
I will kill you and your
whole damn family!
I told you before, Luthor.
You will never hurt another person.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

You came after my wife.

My family.

My town.

[BEEPING]
But all that ends right now!

[SHOUTING]

[SOLEMN MUSIC]

It's over.

[SOFT MUSIC]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Thank you for always
being my best friend.
Wouldn't have it any other way.

Well done.
Thanks, Clark.

You look beautiful.
Thank you.
Everyone, please take your seats.

One thing I've learned
as I've gotten older
is that true friendship
is hard to come by,
and it's even rarer
to find it later in life.
But I found true friendship twice
in both Lana and John Henry.
Lana, of course I'd heard
stories about you from Clark,
but it wasn't until
we moved to Smallville
that I really understood
why he loved you so much.
You were there for me during
my battle with cancer.
You were there for our family
when Clark was taken from us.
And you have always been
there for this community.
You, Mayor Lang, are
the best of Smallville.

And John Henry, since
you arrived in our world,
my life has never been the same.
And now I can't imagine it without you.
What you have endured, what
you were willing to sacrifice
to make a world that
was not your own, safe.
You, truly, are a man of steel.
And it comes as no shock to
anyone who knows the two of you
that you would fall in love
and end up together.
Are you ready for vows?

Do you, John Henry Irons
Do you, Lana Sophie-Anne Lang,
take John Henry Irons
Take Lana Sophie-Anne Lang
to be your lawful wedded wife?
To be your lawful wedded husband?
To have and to hold
from this day forward,
for better or for worse,
for richer or poorer,
in sickness and in health,
to love and cherish always?
- I do.
- I do.
Then by the power vested in me by
KansasMarriageMinistries.com
[LAUGHTER]
I now pronounce you husband and wife.

You may kiss the bride.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

I'm no doctor, but it looks to me
like you're having another boy.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
- You're right.
- [LAUGHS]
You know, how am I gonna
handle three boys?
Hey.
Good luck with that.
Ooh, this one somehow kicks
more than his brother did.
Excuse me.
[SOFT MUSIC]

Lana, you know, when, uh
when Lois was talking about how
you're the best of Smallville.
Well, she's 1,000% right.
You are.
I'm happy for you.

You know, all I ever wanted
was for you to be happy.
I'm happy, Kyle.

I'll leave you to it.

Hey, Kyle?

One more dance?

Yeah, I'd like that.

You know, there's a reception going on
for your mom right now.
What you doing out here?
Are you kidding? That barn is cursed.
If I stay in there for too long,
that whole wedding might blow up.
You take a superstition class in Greece?
Hey, I'm just stating facts.
It's good to have you back.
Yeah.
It's good to be back.
But I don't think
it's gonna be for long.
Spending the year overseas
just showed me
that Smallville's not where I wanna
spend the rest of my life.
Well, we're just gonna
have to make senior year
the best one of them all.
What about you?
Being a hero, are you
where you wanna be?
Yeah.
I am.
[SOFT MUSIC]

Everything okay, bug?

I think Mom would be happy
to know we're okay.
Yeah.
Me too.

I know this isn't where we came from,
but it feels like home.
Yeah.
Hmm.

What are you doing in here?
You okay?
Yeah.
Just wedding got me thinking.
About what?
Our next chapter.
You mean us growing old
and wrinkly together?
[CHUCKLES]
More like what do you think
Superman and Lois Lane
will be remembered for?
[SIGHS]
I'd like to think truth and justice.
And a better tomorrow.
[PHONE BUZZING]
[SOLEMN MUSIC]

[SIGHS]
What?

Luthor was denied his appeal.

We did it.

Welcome back, Mr. Luthor.
I trust my lawyer sent my
requests ahead of the transfer.
That you'd like the same
arrangements as your last stay.
Yes.
I did receive that.
Unfortunately, that won't be possible.
[DOOR BUZZES]
[TENSE MUSIC]

What is this?

This isn't my old cell.
No, it's not.
You see, things have
changed around here.
1A.
[DOOR BUZZING]
Sir?
Thanks, William.
Like the warden said,
a lot's changed around here.
But there's one thing
that's still the same.
The man in charge needs a good chair.
And you, Alexander,
you're gonna make a hell of a chair.
[DOOR BUZZING]

The first time I died,
there was nothing but darkness.
Then suddenly, I came back.
Because of Sam's sacrifice
and the heart he gave me,
I lived for 32 more years.
He's gonna come back.
Once they get my heart
inside him, I'll be there too.
32 more years of life on this world.
But the world I came back
to was struggling.
People had lost faith in each other.
Lost faith in humanity.
The world felt broken.
After Luthor was defeated,
I started thinking about my legacy,
about what I wanted to leave behind.
[SOFT MUSIC]
And the thing I knew was
I couldn't do it alone.

I needed help.
Help from my family.
Help from good friends.

And even help from former enemies.
I spent the last 20 years
trying to save the world.
Now I wanna help fix it.

He's really serious about this?
I told you.

I didn't wanna just be
a hero that saves people.
I wanted to connect with them,
to change their lives for the better.
So Lois and I, we set up a foundation
to help people in need.
Turns out our celebrity had an upside.
People listened when
we asked for their help.
We weren't able to solve
all the world's problems.
Far from it.
But over time, we helped push the needle
in the right direction.
We gave people a sense of hope,
something that had been
missing for far too long.

At home, life was good.

The years continued to pass
as Lois and I got older.

The boys grew up and became men.

Lois and I were so proud of them.
Both Jon and Jordan got married.

Had kids.

[CHUCKLES] Lots of kids.

It was such a joy to be around.

Lois and I felt incredibly lucky.

Our hearts were full.
"Real isn't how you are made.
It's a thing that happens to you".
You wanna race these?
You know how they work?
You just, like, roll
them up and they go.
Oh, like this and
There were so many special moments,
every day a gift.
And Lois was always there,
right by my side.
For the rest of her life,
we never spent a day apart.
This is perfect.

That was a magical time,
every day a little better than the last,
something we never took for granted.
Then Lois's cancer came back.
Only this time, it was too much.

It was hard seeing her so weak,
knowing she was dying.
It's okay. I'm right here.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
I love you, Clark.

I love you too.

Everything good in my life

It came from you.

But in that moment, right as she passed,
something happened
that I will never forget.
[SIGHS]
Daddy?

It was never the same after.
Friends would stop by most
days to check up on me.

Jordan came by almost every day.
Same with Jon.
But even with all my friends and family,
the world, it just felt less.
She was missing.
And being by myself
in the home we shared
for so long, that was really tough.
So I got a dog.
Hey. Hey, buddy.
How are ya? Good boy.
Seriously, how had I
never had a dog before?
Krypto and I, we took
a lot of walks together.

Took a lot of naps.

Watched a lot of sunsets.

The years we had, they meant a lot.

Then, just like that
Are you okay, buddy?
My heart gave out.
Clark?
The irony is, it was almost
exactly where my dad died.
Somebody call 911!
Thanks to Kyle, I didn't die there,
but my time was running out.

The second time I died

was so much different than the first.
[SOFT MUSIC]

It was amazing.

The feeling that washed over me, I
I can't begin to describe it.

And suddenly, it came to me.
What life is all about.

Joy.

Hope.

Forgiveness.

Wonder.

Friendship.

Family.

Love.
God, she's beautiful.

I came to this world alone.

And when I left it, I had so much.
And it was all because of love.
It's the thing that
makes life worth living.
Do everything you can to find love,
to give it,
to hold on to it
because life, it goes by so fast.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Greg, move your head.
