Luthor do this? Look at this place.

He's done nothing but
defile our holy ground.

[Willowbrook] History taught us
to walk among our enemies.

Yeah, while they walk all over us?

00:00:17,935 --> 00:00:20,521
I understand your anger, Jeremiah,

7
00:00:20,688 --> 00:00:24,609
but we have no access to these caves
without his permission.

00:00:31,407 --> 00:00:34,911
Professor willowbrook,
thank you for coming on such short notice.

9
00:00:35,077 --> 00:00:40,875
I didn't realize you'd be bringing
someone with you, though.

This is Jeremiah holdsclaw,
future leader of the kawatche people...

- And one of my brightest graduate students.
- Oh.

12
00:00:49,383 --> 00:00:52,178
He may be able to
help identify the artifact.

00:00:52,595 --> 00:00:56,015
Jeremiah, it's an honor to meet you.

14
00:01:01,854 --> 00:01:04,148
Perhaps you could show us what you found.

15
00:01:05,608 --> 00:01:08,903
Yes, of course. Miriam.

16
00:01:11,489 --> 00:01:13,783

17
00:01:13,950 --> 00:01:16,077
What do you make of this, professor?

18
00:01:18,496 --> 00:01:20,748
Incredible. Palak.

19

20

23
00:01:37,515 --> 00:01:42,144
- Jeremiah, what do you think it is?
- I think the professor is right.

24
00:01:43,479 --> 00:01:46,524
I think we should take it back to
the museum to properly study it.

25
00:01:46,691 --> 00:01:48,693
Oh, no. It can't leave the cave.

26

Not until I've had it
thoroughly analyzed. Miriam.

If you are the friend of the kawatche
that you claim to be

give me the artifact, please?

was holding an ancient kawatche artifact

154
00:11:05,499 --> 00:11:09,753

the fact that he went ballistic last night

and absconded with
a sacred kawatche artifact.

00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,437
Spiritual counselor as well.

175
00:12:50,604 --> 00:12:55,317
Yes? So why not just explain to him
that the star blade isn't his to keep?

176
00:12:55,484 --> 00:12:59,529
- What do you know about it?
- I've read your writings, professor.

177
00:12:59,696 --> 00:13:01,865
It doesn't belong to you either.

178
00:13:02,032 --> 00:13:05,077
You know, I have a considerable
amount of influence around here.

179
00:13:05,243 --> 00:13:07,454
- Yes?
- Is that a threat?

180
00:13:07,621 --> 00:13:09,331
No. Of course not.

181
00:13:09,498 --> 00:13:11,625
But I'm fascinated by your work.

182
00:13:11,792 --> 00:13:15,170
I'm thinking about giving your
department a sizable Grant

183
00:13:15,337 --> 00:13:18,090
so you can continue your research.

184
00:13:18,966 --> 00:13:22,719
Don't tell me an educated man like you
puts stock in old Indian legends.

185
00:13:22,886 --> 00:13:24,805
Look, professor,

186
00:13:24,972 --> 00:13:29,685
you and I both saw
what Jeremiah did in the cave.

187
00:13:30,852 --> 00:13:33,355
I've suspected for some time
that there are

188
00:13:33,522 --> 00:13:37,484
special human beings
who are capable of feats like that.

189
00:13:37,651 --> 00:13:38,902
Now I know I'm right.

190
00:13:39,820 --> 00:13:41,530
If you've read my work,

191
00:13:41,697 --> 00:13:45,659
then you also know that the blade will
crumble if the wrong person touches it.

192
00:13:49,705 --> 00:13:51,707
Sageeth.

193
00:13:53,333 --> 00:13:54,501
Who is he?

194
00:13:54,584 --> 00:13:59,589
According to legend,
he's the bearer of darkness.

195
00:14:02,384 --> 00:14:06,763
Clark. Well, this is a coincidence.

196
00:14:07,180 --> 00:14:09,099
Nice to see you.

197
00:14:11,351 --> 00:14:13,228
Professor.

198
00:14:15,522 --> 00:14:17,024
What did he want?

199
00:14:17,190 --> 00:14:19,693
The same thing you do, naman.

200
00:14:20,068 --> 00:14:21,862
Professor, please stop calling me that.

201
00:14:22,362 --> 00:14:24,448
One who denies his destiny,

202
00:14:24,614 --> 00:14:28,118
can bring about as much pain and suffering
as your greatest enemy.

203
00:14:28,285 --> 00:14:31,288
Please, professor, I'm just here to help.

204
00:14:32,372 --> 00:14:35,584
I don't want Jeremiah to hurt anyone,
including himself.

205
00:14:35,751 --> 00:14:38,754
This mural was painted
on the blinds in his office.

206
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,505
I tried drawing it.

207
00:14:40,589 --> 00:14:43,884
[Ominous music playing]

208
00:14:44,593 --> 00:14:47,888
Clark, that's the slumbering place.

209
00:14:48,597 --> 00:14:54,561
The burial ground where the ancient
kawatche used to perform death rituals.

210
00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:58,065
Jeremiah's writing his
dissertation about it.

211
00:14:58,231 --> 00:15:00,108
Does it still exist?

212
00:15:02,944 --> 00:15:05,947
[Ominous music playing]

213
00:15:20,587 --> 00:15:22,547
[Willowbrook] Jeremiah.

214
00:15:30,514 --> 00:15:33,350
Jeremiah doesn't exist anymore, professor.

215
00:15:34,142 --> 00:15:37,687
You can't allow the power of the blade
to cloud your judgment.

216
00:15:40,774 --> 00:15:42,984
It's made things very clear.

217
00:15:43,151 --> 00:15:46,947
Your duty is to protect the
blade for naman. He's naman.

218
00:15:47,989 --> 00:15:50,534
Him? He's not even kawatche.

219
00:15:52,327 --> 00:15:55,288
Look, it doesn't really matter who I am.

220
00:15:55,622 --> 00:15:57,499
The blade is dangerous, Jeremiah.

221
00:15:57,833 --> 00:16:00,502
It's given me the strength of 10 men.

222
00:16:00,669 --> 00:16:03,463
I can shoot fire from my eyes.

223
00:16:03,630 --> 00:16:05,882
Don't you see, professor?

224
00:16:06,299 --> 00:16:07,968
I am naman.

225
00:16:08,135 --> 00:16:12,222
You're misinterpreting
the prophecy, Jeremiah.

226
00:16:16,434 --> 00:16:18,979
All these years, I've listened to you.

227
00:16:19,146 --> 00:16:21,565
But now I can see you've held me back.

228
00:16:25,277 --> 00:16:28,155
You're afraid that I've become
more powerful than you.

229
00:16:28,321 --> 00:16:32,742
Jeremiah, it's the blade.
It's corrupting you. Just put it down.

230
00:16:34,744 --> 00:16:37,539
I don't take orders from anyone.

231
00:16:38,165 --> 00:16:40,458
I will be the savior of my people.

232
00:16:40,625 --> 00:16:42,961
I will bring sageeth here and kill him!

233
00:16:43,128 --> 00:16:44,880
You don't even know who sageeth is.

234
00:16:45,046 --> 00:16:46,840
You could kill an innocent person.

235
00:16:49,259 --> 00:16:50,594
The man I want...

236
00:16:51,428 --> 00:16:53,513
Is far from innocent.

237
00:17:10,488 --> 00:17:13,450
Stay out of my way, false prophet.

238
00:17:53,365 --> 00:17:55,867
Clark, do you have any idea where he went?

239
00:17:56,201 --> 00:17:59,120
I'm pretty sure he's
going after Lionel Luthor.

240
00:18:00,038 --> 00:18:02,040
Because he thinks Lionel is sageeth.

241
00:18:02,207 --> 00:18:04,709
I remember when you first
learned about this from Kyla.

242
00:18:04,876 --> 00:18:09,047
Thanks. She said sageeth was supposed
to start as one of the good guys.

243
00:18:09,214 --> 00:18:10,966
But the prophecy isn't written down.

244
00:18:12,217 --> 00:18:15,887
It's an oral tradition, so it's open
to a million different interpretations.

245
00:18:16,054 --> 00:18:17,555
What's your interpretation?

246
00:18:17,722 --> 00:18:21,726
I don't know. Professor
willowbrook thinks that I'm naman.

247
00:18:22,727 --> 00:18:25,772
And jor-ei wants me to be some
sort of Kryptonian warrior...

248
00:18:26,564 --> 00:18:28,483
But I just want to be Clark Kent.

249
00:18:29,025 --> 00:18:33,196
You are Clark Kent and, like it or not,
you're the only one who can stop this kid.

250
00:18:35,532 --> 00:18:37,534
- We need to warn Lionel.
- No.

251
00:18:38,785 --> 00:18:40,120
Jonathan, you just said...

252
00:18:40,287 --> 00:18:42,622
I don't want to give him information

253
00:18:42,789 --> 00:18:45,792
that can help him find this weapon
before Clark does.

254
00:18:46,376 --> 00:18:49,963
Son, what you need to do is, you need
to find Jeremiah before he kills Lionel.

255
00:18:50,797 --> 00:18:52,465
Dad, even if I do find Jeremiah,

256
00:18:52,632 --> 00:18:55,093
I don't know how
to get the knife away from him.

257
00:18:56,428 --> 00:19:00,015
If he does have your abilities, there's a
good chance that he has your weakness.

258
00:19:08,481 --> 00:19:14,029
I know what you're going to say.
This faux Egyptian decor is terribly tacky.

259
00:19:14,195 --> 00:19:17,991
So I'm gonna need you to just use your
imagination and you'll see the potential.

260
00:19:18,158 --> 00:19:20,577
And keep in mind,
location, location, location.

261
00:19:20,744 --> 00:19:22,620
- Hi, can I help you?
- Yes.

262
00:19:22,787 --> 00:19:25,165
Earl grey, please.
And whatever my client wants.

263
00:19:25,290 --> 00:19:28,918
Take a look up on the second floor.
There's a very nice living space...

264
00:19:29,419 --> 00:19:31,755
[Lana] Miss, I think there's been
a misunderstanding.

265
00:19:32,714 --> 00:19:34,174
The Talon's not for sale.

266
00:19:34,883 --> 00:19:37,469
Well, it is, clear.
Lex Luthor hired me to sell it.

267
00:19:39,095 --> 00:19:41,097
Excuse me.

268
00:19:41,556 --> 00:19:44,934
- I'm part-owner. You can't just...
- Take it up with him.

269
00:19:53,443 --> 00:19:56,613
You can't just sell the Talon
without consulting me.

270
00:19:56,780 --> 00:19:59,866
I thought that's what you wanted
so you could afford to go to Paris.

271
00:20:00,033 --> 00:20:03,870
No, I asked you to buy me out of my share,
not to sell the building.

272
00:20:04,037 --> 00:20:05,747
Either way, you get the money.

273
00:20:05,914 --> 00:20:08,375
I put my heart and
soul into that place, Lex.

274
00:20:08,541 --> 00:20:10,627
My friends hang out
there, it's a sanctuary.

275
00:20:10,794 --> 00:20:13,671
I do not want it turned into a kinko's.

276
00:20:13,838 --> 00:20:17,717
Lana, this may come as a shock to you,
but the Talon's not exactly a cash cow.

277
00:20:17,842 --> 00:20:21,638
And personally,
I have no interest in the coffee business.

278
00:20:22,055 --> 00:20:24,641
It's much more profitable
to sell the building.

279
00:20:25,517 --> 00:20:29,896
If the Talon is such a terrible investment,
then why'd you keep it this long?

280
00:20:32,273 --> 00:20:34,943
I thought that was obvious.

281
00:20:36,611 --> 00:20:38,988
I did it for you.

282
00:20:42,492 --> 00:20:45,203
I spend so much time swimming
with wall street sharks

283
00:20:45,370 --> 00:20:47,038
and boardroom barracudas...

284
00:20:47,622 --> 00:20:49,666
That it's been nice to come up for air

285
00:20:49,833 --> 00:20:52,669
with someone as honest
and pure-hearted as you.

286
00:20:53,336 --> 00:20:56,589
In some ways,
you're the best partner I've ever had.

287
00:20:59,926 --> 00:21:01,428
Thank you, Lex.

288
00:21:01,719 --> 00:21:04,848
But you're leaving,
and you're irreplaceable.

289
00:21:08,518 --> 00:21:11,688
So why hang on to something that's over?

290
00:21:15,775 --> 00:21:19,112
Unless, of course, this is really
about you having second thoughts.

291
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:22,282
What? No, I...

292
00:21:22,574 --> 00:21:26,119
Because you've got to ask yourself, Lana,
who are you?

293
00:21:27,704 --> 00:21:30,457
Are you a small-town girl
content to spend her days

294
00:21:30,623 --> 00:21:32,917
gossiping in a coffee
shop with her friends?

295
00:21:35,253 --> 00:21:38,047
Or are you the girl who goes to Paris?

296
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,803
[Pensive music playing]

297
00:22:03,865 --> 00:22:05,408
What do you want?

298
00:22:07,243 --> 00:22:09,329
The same thing as you.

299
00:22:09,496 --> 00:22:13,666
To insure the well-being
of the kawatche people.

300
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,294
Then stop pillaging their caves.

301
00:22:16,461 --> 00:22:21,007
But who rightfully owns the cave, Clark?

302
00:22:21,216 --> 00:22:25,094
Your family? They seem to believe they do.

303
00:22:26,221 --> 00:22:28,723
That's funny.
I could say the same thing about you.

304
00:22:28,806 --> 00:22:30,433
[Sighs]

305
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,853
You want me to leave the kawatche alone?
Deliver a message for me.

306
00:22:33,937 --> 00:22:35,813
Tell them to return the stolen artifact.

307
00:22:35,980 --> 00:22:37,690
Well, I'd be careful if I were you.

308
00:22:37,857 --> 00:22:40,276
They say that artifact is dangerous.

309
00:22:40,443 --> 00:22:45,323
Acquiring anything valuable
always involves a certain amount of risk,

310
00:22:45,490 --> 00:22:49,619
and I believe that that knife is valuable

311
00:22:49,786 --> 00:22:52,163
in more ways than one.

312
00:22:53,248 --> 00:22:56,292
- What are you talking about?
- We'll have to run tests to be sure.

313
00:22:56,459 --> 00:22:59,087
But I believe that that star blade

314
00:22:59,254 --> 00:23:02,632
is forged from the same metal
as the octagonal key.

315
00:23:02,799 --> 00:23:08,137
It might be possible to use the metal
from the knife to create a duplicate.

316
00:23:09,389 --> 00:23:11,516
I thought the original
was in the cave wall.

317
00:23:11,683 --> 00:23:13,810
My scientists haven't been able to find it.

318
00:23:15,103 --> 00:23:17,063
You honestly believe that I'd help you?

319
00:23:17,230 --> 00:23:19,649
Why are we playing games, Clark?

320
00:23:19,816 --> 00:23:23,736
You're as eager as I am
to unlock the mysteries of the cave.

321
00:23:24,279 --> 00:23:27,824
Even if I wanted to help you,
the kawatche don't take orders from me.

322
00:23:27,991 --> 00:23:29,784
Don't be modest.

323
00:23:29,951 --> 00:23:32,912
I'm sure they believe, as I do,
you're a very...

324
00:23:34,789 --> 00:23:37,834
Special young man. They'll believe you.

325
00:23:43,298 --> 00:23:46,843
You can also tell the professor
that I can turn...

326
00:23:47,010 --> 00:23:51,723
From being a loyal ally
to his very formidable Nemesis...

327
00:23:52,223 --> 00:23:54,517
In a heartbeat.

328
00:23:56,019 --> 00:23:58,021
The friend who becomes the enemy.

329
00:23:59,522 --> 00:24:01,482
I beg your pardon?

330
00:24:03,026 --> 00:24:06,613
Mr. Luthor, those caves may not
belong to my family, but this barn does.

331
00:24:06,779 --> 00:24:08,531
So get out.

332
00:24:20,668 --> 00:24:22,295
Professor.

333
00:24:22,462 --> 00:24:24,422
Have you found Jeremiah?

334
00:24:24,589 --> 00:24:27,383
Not yet, but I have an idea.
I need your help.

335
00:24:27,550 --> 00:24:29,552
I'm at your service, naman.

336
00:24:29,719 --> 00:24:32,555
I know you want to believe it, but I'm...
I'm not your savior.

337
00:24:32,722 --> 00:24:35,308
I mean, did you ever think
that Jeremiah really is naman?

338
00:24:35,475 --> 00:24:37,894
He has all the abilities
foretold in the prophecy

339
00:24:38,061 --> 00:24:40,188
and he's gonna try and kill sageeth.

340
00:24:40,355 --> 00:24:45,109
True, but he did not fall from the sky
in a rain of fire.

341
