- Previously
on "Superman & Lois"...

- Let's just focus on what
we came here for: family.

- We need to stop Kal-El
before he does to this world

what he did to mine.

- I just want
what's best for this town.

Right now, it seems
pretty clear to me

that that's Morgan Edge
bringing jobs in.

- Edge was
giving people powers,

messing with
their minds to control them.

- And people on this town
are gonna want answers.

- They're gonna be looking
for somebody to blame,

and I'm pretty sure

I'm gonna be at the top
of that list.

- Prepare for our arrival.

There's no saving
my brother now.

- Leave now.

- Jordan!

- He has vowed
his submission, Father.

- And the Eradicator?
- Taken from his possession.

- John, it's happening
just like you said it would.

I think Superman's
been turned.

is 25 yards due east.

- Let me find a parking spot.

You could easily catch her.

John, if you wish to connect

now is your chance.

[screams]

- It's been a long time
since you've felt pain,

hasn't it, Kal?

Or perhaps
you've never felt it,

which will make this process
all the more excruciating.

Pain is a weakness
my father removed from me

after I arrived here.

I remember it, though.

Wanting nothing more
than my suffering to end.

All you have to do is submit,

and yours will cease.

- Listen to me.
- You gave me you word, Kal.

- Please--
- Submit.

- I can help you, brother.

- I am not your brother!

You rejected me.
Remember?

Rejected your family,
your own people, for them.

So be it.

Delay the inevitable.

Fight as long as you can,
but eventually,

you will fade as this
new mind comes to light.

Not even Superman
is strong enough

to resist the will of Zod.

- Boys, he's gonna be okay.

- Mom...

Edge just took off with him.
- I know.

- He said
we'll never see him again.

- Yeah, I know, honey,

and I know
how scary that sounds.

I know it doesn't seem
like it right now,

but your dad has been
in worse spots than this,

and he always
gets through them.

I've been dealing with this
for 20 years.

Trust me.

Your dad will fight
through this, and he will win.

- And Superman's last
known location was this farm?

- That's right.

- Edge came after
me and the boys

after Superman saved everyone

Edge was turning
to create his army.

- And then Superman just agreed

to have
his consciousness replaced?

- To spare our lives
and buy us some time,

but he signaled me.

He wanted me to contact you

so that we could find Edge
and stop him.

- And you think they're
somewhere in the desert, Sam?

- Based on intelligence
we've gathered, yes.

- John, you know better
than anyone

what's at risk here.

- I do.
- Which is why we need

your help to come up
with a rescue plan.

- A rescue plan?

Lois, Superman must have known

there was a chance
he'd be turned.

If he signaled you
to bring me in,

he knows the likelihood is,
there is only one hope.

To save this world,
I need to put him down

by any means necessary.

- No, John.
We're not killing Superman.

That's not why I called you.

- You said it yourself.
He signaled you to call me.

Why would he do that?

- I don't know why,
but I know he's not giving up.

- Lois, he knows
what he's up against.

He's trying to stop
the end of the world.

- We do that by saving him.

- Look, Superman's
our greatest ally

against Morgan Edge.

At this juncture,
it would be a tactical error

to rule out a rescue.

- No, a tactical error

would be to let this Earth fall
the way that mine did.

It took him seven minutes

to wipe out Metropolis.

Seven minutes.

[dramatic music]

- It's not too late for him.

- Lois,
the more time that passes,

the greater the odds are
that he's gone.

- He won't be turned.
- He will eventually.

- No, he won't,
and I will prove it.

- Lois?

- Just figure out
how to find him.

Stay back.

[computer beeps]

- Target locked.

- What's Edge doing?

- Ready for launch.

- [screaming]

You could have ruled
with me as my brother.

Instead, I will bury you
in the ashes of this world.

It is the actual,

But he'll be here.

it's him.

- Hey.

All right, you two.

♪ ♪

You did good.

- It was all his idea.

We were just trying to think,
what would you do?

- How'd you do it, Dad?

How'd you break free?

- Thought about you guys,

remembered what I was
fighting for.

I had a little bit of help.

It's okay.
It's okay.

[laughs]
He's on our side.

- Lois.

- John, you've actually
met our kids before.

- Ah, yeah, I remember.

Nice to do this
under better circumstances.

- Thank you.

And I never said sorry
about hitting you with a truck.

- [snorts]
- No hard feelings.

- [laughs]

The good news,
Morgan Edge is in

a state-of-the-art
military prison.

He's never gonna hurt
anyone again.

- Do you wanna stay for dinner?

I order a mean takeout.

- [laughs]

I gotta wrap things up
with your dad.

Besides, family time is sacred,

and you guys
are definitely due.

- Bring it in.
Come on.

Bring it in.
- [laughs]

- Hey, everyone,
look who's here.

- Oh, my sweet girl.

I missed you so much.

You smell what Daddy's got
cooking up over here?

- Are those dinosaur pancakes?
- Mm-hmm.

- For dinner?
- Yeah, why not?

All right, I got two
Sophie-saurus Rexes

coming right up.
[imitates roaring]

[both laughing]
- Sophie.

- Sarah!

- [laughs]
Hi!

Oh!

- Did you miss me?
- I missed you so much.

- Anything happen
when I was gone?

- No, things are kinda boring
when you're not around, so...

- All right,
a little appetizer for you.

- You know we're gonna be okay,
right?

- Yeah, I'm gonna
make sure of it.

- So Leslie Larr
is still in the wind?

- At this point,

she doesn't really
have a next move.

- Finding her
is our number one priority.

Good news is,

between you
and Mr. John Henry Irons,

smart money says
she'll be in custody

by the end of the week.

And then DOD packs up,

heads home.

Maybe this town
can breathe again.

Not to mention this family.

For what it's worth,
Lois, about yesterday...

- I know, Dad.

You were just doing your job.

- What I wanted to say is,

I'm proud of you.

When the chips were down,
you still had faith,

and that's what made
the difference.

I'm very glad you're better,
Clark.

I won't doubt you again.

- Complete what you were
sent here for.

- Greg, move your head.
