Fight fans. Are you ready?
Tonight's epic brawl is a special co-ed matchup.
Introducing two new...
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...
You're paid to keep an eye on the fights...
Not me.
The view in here is a lot better.
Security guard by day, catholic schoolgirl by night.
You're a woman of many talents, Athena.
And a woman of many desires.
Unfortunately, none of them are you.
Taking off early?
Rough day. How's the fight going?
It'll all be over soon.
The big guy just showed up. He's an animal. Where'd Maddox find him?
Outside a bar in Omaha. Busting up a group of hell's angels.
Next time I catch you peeping at me, I'll put you in a cage with him.
What the hell's going on here?
He's tearing up the place. He killed Maddox.
- Who? - Titan.
Time to die, Kryptonian.
Somebody save me
let your warm hands break right through
somebody save me
don't care how you do it
just stay, stay
come on
I've been waiting for you
stay with me
I've made this whole world shine for you
just stay, stay
come on
Thanks, Oliver.
Yeah, I'll call you if I find anything. Bye.
"Police are baffled over a recent string of bizarre citizen's arrests.
Numerous career criminals have been mysteriously delivered
to stations throughout the Metro area, in most cases unconscious."
Clark, do you know anything about this?
It sounds like some bad guys have finally been brought to justice.
Well, some of them were hurt pretty badly.
That sounds like a little more than justice.
They were meteor infected. Put up a fight.
I know you're trying to help, but you can't go about it this way.
It's not right.
You know what's not right, mom?
Staying here doing nothing when I could be out there making a difference.
Now, I gotta go. Oliver gave me a tip. I gotta follow up on it.
Clark.
I know how difficult Lex and Lana's wedding was for you.
But ever since that day, it's like you've become another person.
Because I'm not distracted by my feelings for Lana anymore?
That I can finally focus on what I need to do?
Sweetheart, you should never consider what you felt to be a distraction.
Love is a natural human emotion.
Maybe my mistake was having those feelings at all.
I'm not human, mom. It's time I stopped pretending to be.
Clark, can you believe this?
A krypto fight club on the Internet?
How come nobody else knows about this?
According to Oliver, getting the link and password
costs more than most people make in a year.
Yeah, fight fans.
The choice is yours. Live or die.
Vote now.
The choice is yours.
Vote now.
Clark, he just killed that guy.
Chloe, I need you to trace the link back to the source.
I'm trying, but they're bouncing it off about a billion different proxy servers.
Whoever's running this operation made sure no one would find them.
Didn't Oliver and your super pals give you anything else?
It was a short conversation, Chloe.
They're kind of busy lately.
All he said was he thought the location was somewhere nearby.
The security on this stream is off the charts.
I mean, I can't record it, I can't download it, I can't.
Yeah, fight fans.
Your winner and still undisputed champion.
The one, the only
titan.
Freeze that frame.
What is that?
Is that Kryptonian?
It's a prison tattoo.
Chloe, titan isn't meteor infected.
He's from the phantom zone.
I thought we'd end the evening with a toast.
We've officially been married one week.
The baby's safe. It's just sparkling cider.
It's not quite the same as celebrating on the beach in Phuket
but I guess it'll have to do.
Lex, I'm sorry.
I know how much you wanted to go on this honeymoon
but like I said before
I don't think that flying off to some foreign country is good for the baby.
Are you sure that's the only reason you gave up a week in paradise?
Ever since the wedding, I feel like you've been pulling away from me.
Everything happened so quickly.
This pregnancy, the wedding,
I still feel like I'm trying to catch up.
I just need a little time.
Take as much time as you need.
We have the rest of our lives together.
Look, I'm sure things will be different once the baby's born.
Right?
To our new family.
Clark!
Slow down.
I don't have enough money to hire a full-time maid
- to clean up every time you blow in. - What'd you find?
The url and the password that Oliver gave you are both null and void
which means the fight-club promoters must be rotating them
in order to maximize security and profits.
- You have nothing? - Don't bite my head off.
You know I always have something up my sleeve.
I'm starting to think that super-sleuthing
might be my latent krypto-power.
Okay. So it turns out that our Billy idol look-alike
is actually a meteor-infected belle reve resident.
Now, this is the weird thing.
After he was killed in that cage, he was returned back to his padded cell.
The orderlies found his body this morning.
If we find who got him in and out of the hospital
they'll lead us straight to the fight club.
- And to titan. - Already on it.
See, your sidekick isn't completely useless.
Sorry I snapped, Chloe.
I'm worried that titan might be a bigger threat than I thought.
Your friend at the Metropolis precinct helped me find these.
It's titan's victims.
They were found between a crater outside Omaha
where I think he landed, and Metropolis.
He left the same wound on all the bodies.
- And they're all fighters. - I know why.
The tattoo on titan's arm.
From what I could tell, it said he was a warrior, enhanced for combat.
Ever since he's been here he's been looking for a fight.
What better challenge for a brawl-loving zoner
than a rumble at a krypto fight club?
Hey. Can you believe this?
I couldn't find proof of the chupacabra in the everglades.
So now my editor wants to downsize me.
If I don't come up with an article in the next 48 hours
I can say adios to my weekly paycheck.
- Is that a story? - No.
Okay, look, normally, I would be hands-off
but this puppy needs a bone. Please, cuz.
I'll owe you big time.
There's no story for the inquisitor here, Lois.
It's just a dead end.
I'm sure after a shower and a cappuccino,
you'll come up with something in no time.
Clark's right. We'll give you some room.
I could have used a little help.
"F-r-four-four."
Fort Ryan, hangar 44.
Hey, puss in boots. Where are you going?
Whoa.
Hey, my car overheated on the way to work
and I just needed some water for my radiator.
What are you all dressed up for, kitten?
I'm a dancer.
At the Phoenix.
- The strip club down the road? - Yeah.
Look, I go on stage in 15 minutes. I could sure use your help.
This place
is a little off the beaten path.
How'd you even know we were back here?
My dad's a general.
Before the base was mothballed and sold off
I came here all the time with him.
A general, huh?
I bet he's proud of how his little girl turned out.
Come on
help a girl out.
I'll leave your name at the front door. You can watch my act.
I do a killer stars-and-stripes routine.
I've always been a sucker for a girl in boots.
Lucky me.
Wait right here, kitten. I'll be right back.
You're a very nosy girl, kitty cat.
Pretty nice moves for a stripper.
Oh, honey, I learned even better ones as an army brat.
For your information, my daddy is proud of me
kitty cat.
If you were my little girl, I'd be proud of you too.
So I think I found our Vince McMahon wannabe
and he has total access to an endless supply of meteor freaks.
Meet Richter Maddox, executive administrator at belle reve.
How's this guy keeping titan locked up in belle reve?
Actually, ourjolly mean giant isn't in the belle reve yearbook.
- He must be freelancing. - So Maddox isn'tjust pulling fighters
from the hospital, he's using outside talent?
If I can talk my way into that ring, I'll find titan.
These bouts are televised live.
You can't risk showing people your abilities.
- I don't have a choice, Chloe. - Clark, he can kill you.
Not if I kill him first.
Keep me updated on your progress.
You have full discretion, bartlett. Make it happen.
Yes, sir.
Lana?
Lex.
Lana.
Oh, my god.
There's something wrong.
Lana.
Somebody help me!
Someone!
Lex.
Lana.
Mrs. Luthor, you shouldn't get out of bed yet.
You passed out. You're at Smallville medical center.
Where's Dr. Langston? Is the baby all right?
He didn't return my page so I called in Dr. Albright.
She's been my family doctor for years.
You're going to be fine, Mrs. Luthor. You just need to get some rest.
Is the baby all right?
Could you give us a minute?
Lex.
Lana_.
There were complications.
- We lost the baby. - No.
- Lana, I'm sorry. - No.
You scared me.
Where did you come from?
You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
Yeah.
I've had a long day, so if you're looking to check in
the admitting desk is in the lobby.
I'm looking for you, Mr. Maddox. I wanna fight.
Oh.
What did I do to you?
No. I mean, I wanna be in your fight club.
You must have me confused with someone else.
It happens, I have that kind of face.
I know about the fight club.
I know you're not only using patients from belle reve. I want in.
Okay, look, the only place I can get you into is this psychiatric facility.
You're clearly a very sick person and you need help.
If treatment's not what you're looking for
then I suggest you back off.
You're barking at the wrong dog, Jethro.
Now, put yourtail between your legs and get lost.
Not until you let me in that cage.
Yeah!
Now, you're just full of surprises, aren't you?
You haven't seen anything yet.
No, I bet not.
And I thought with your pretty face, you'd never gone a round in your life.
But now I can see it in your eyes.
Yeah, there it is.
You've got some fight in you, don't you?
Welcome to the show.
Yeah. Hey, what do you think of the name the man of steel?
- Man of steel? - I give all the fighters their monikers.
Trust me, kid, it's a name no one's ever gonna forget.
I got a feeling about these things. Some people say I'm psychic.
Now, remember, play it up for the cameras.
People are forking over top dollar to see these fights.
- Where's the crowd? - What crowd? We don't have a crowd.
Can't have a crowd if you want to keep this thing a secret.
Besides, who needs an audience when you got 50,000 watts of sound?
- Check that out. I just bought that. - Give me a sound check.
Gate!
Now, here's how it works.
We sell the spectacle to the "high rollers" online, and the noise
pumps up the fighters just fine.
- Where's titan? - Titan?
Uh-uh. That's the main event.
I wanna warm you up with something easy first.
Won't be much of a fight, but it doesn't matter, because all the fans wanna see
is someone die.
- Then who am I fighting? - Ah.
Get off me. I hope you like the taste of vinyl, honey,
because you're about to eat
- a fistful of red patent leather. - Lois?
Smallville?
Stand by on one.
We're online in
three, two
one.
Yeah, fight fans.
Are you ready?
Tonight's undercard is a special co-ed matchup.
Introducing two new combatants.
In this corner, the voluptuous
the vicious
Vixen!
Yummy.
And now, entering our arena for the very first time.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
the all-powerful
the all-American
man of steel!
I can't wait.
Ladies.
Good luck, pretty boy.
Lois, what are you doing here?
Trying to stay alive.
- Punch me. - What?
Look, not too hard, just enough to make it look real.
All they want is a fight.
As soon as I hit the mat, Maddox will come back in
- and we make our getaway. - I'm not gonna punch you, Lois.
Fine. Then you take the dive.
That isn'tjust a six-pack under your shirt, that's a steel kegger.
Kal-ei.
Whoa! Wait. Wait.
The live feed went down.
The show is over.
Lois, run.
What the hell's going on?
He's tearing up the place. He just killed Maddox.
- Who? - Titan.
Leave her alone!
The human means nothing to me. You're the fight I've been hoping for.
You don't belong here.
You're the one that doesn't belong.
Time to die, Kryptonian.
My turn.
Good fight.
Sorry to bother you with business. I know this must be a difficult time.
Get to the point.
We located the fight club as instructed.
- So you have titan? - Negative.
He was dead when the team arrived.
According to your reports, titan decimated
some of the toughest meteor freaks out there.
- Now, who could've taken him down? - We don't know, sir.
We lost our Internet link right before the team moved in.
They did retrieve titan's body.
I think you'll find the autopsy report interesting.
- He wasn't a meteor freak. - No, sir.
Titan wasn't human.
How's Lois?
She's pretty banged up, but the doctor says she's gonna be all right.
She's already started working on her article about the fight club.
Don't worry, she didn't see me do anything newsworthy.
I won't be making headlines.
I'm glad to know she's fine.
How are you doing?
I thought that titan was the last prisoner I let escape
from the phantom zone
but looking at all these
if there are any more out there, I'm sure you'll find them.
And then what?
I don't know how to return them to the phantom zone.
The only way to get rid of them
is to kill them like I did titan.
Clark
from what you told me, that was an accident.
- That's what I keep telling myself. - Well, what if it wasn't?
He would have killed you.
Oh, so I just killed him first?
How does that make me any different than titan?
What you're feeling right now is what makes you different.
Regret, remorse
for a vicious creature who would've murdered you and Lois
without a second thought.
Those feelings are what make you human.
No matter how much you deny it.
And what about the anger?
I wanted to kill him, mom.
I wanted to kill him with my bare hands.
I've never felt rage like that before.
You were angry before you ever heard of titan.
We both know that's not what this is about.
How could Lana do it?
How could she marry Lex?
I don't know, Clark, but she made her choice.
Or someone made it for her.
I have to figure out what happened. I gotta do something.
Honey
I understand how much this hurts.
But part of being human, of being in love
is learning to let go.
If you can't, I'm afraid the anger you're feeling will always be there.
Nell called.
She wanted to know if you'd like some company tomorrow.
I don't know.
Lana, you haven't left this room since we got back from the hospital.
I like it here.
I called Dr. Langston
to tell him what happened.
They told me he was killed in a car accident.
My god.
That's terrible. When?
The day of our wedding.
Lex, why is all this happening?
Some things in life are just
out of your control.
Sometimes you have to let go
and leave it in the hands of a greater power.
I lost our baby.
I'm so sorry.
Hey.
It wasn't your fault.
I have to know for sure.
I need to get my files from Dr. Langston's office.
We will.
Lana, how can I make...
How can I help make the pain go away?
What can I do?
Are you sure these are all of her files?
Thank you for your help, Dr. Albright.
Now forget you ever heard of Lana Luthor.
