too hot of lying to me.

The WHITE PORTUGUESE

isn't carrying a dirty bomb.

What is it carrying?

It's a weapon.

It's a rock.

A minerals, capable of

weakening Kryptonian cells.

The first sample big

enough to mean something

turned up in the

Indian Ocean 3 months ago.

It is now aboard the White Portuguese

being delivered to Lex Luthor.

Who I am going to steal it from.

To keep it out of Luthor's hands.

To destroy it.

No.

You're going to go to war?

That son of a b*tch brought

the war to us, 2 years ago.

Jesus, Alfred.

Count the dead.

Thousands of people.

What's next?

Millions?

He has the power to wipe out

the entire human race

and If we believe there even a

1% chance that he is our enemy,

we have to take it

as an absolute certainty.

And we have to destroy him.

But, he is not our enemy.

Not today.

20 years in Gotham, Alfred.

We've seen what promises are worth.

How many good guys are left.

How many stay that way.

Kent, I want to talk to you.

Daily Planet

Kent!

Where does he go?

Where does he go, Jenny?

I don't-I don't know.

Clicks his heels 3 times,

goes back to Kansas I suppose.

Son of a...

I don't have a halo over me,

Mr. secretary.

I went into the desert,

people died.

It keeps me awake.

It should!

If you think Superman is a murderer

then throw it away.

But, I don't believe you think that.

WHITE PORTUGUESE

LEXCORP Industries

Move out!

Go, go, go, go!

Harpoon

Noooo!

Where is he?

Next time they shine

your light in the sky,

don't go to it.

The Bat is dead.

Bury it.

Consider this mercy.

Tell me.

Do you bleed?

You will.

SEARCHING FOR TRANSPONDER SIGNAL

LEXCORP RESEARCH PARK

How do we determine what's good?

In a democracy, good is a conversation

not a unilateral decision.

So, I urge Superman, to come to

this hearth of the people tomorrow.

To see those who have suffered.

The world needs to know

what happened in that desert.

And to know what he stands for.

How far will he take his power.

Does he act by our will,

or by his own.

People hate what they don't understand

But they see what you do,

and they know who you are.

You're not a killer.

A threat?

I never wanted this world

to have you.

Be their hero, Clark.

Be their monument.

Be their angel.

Be anything they need you to be.

Or be none of it.

You don't owe this world a thing.

You never did.

CIA thinks the desert was a setup.

Somebody wanted Superman to look guilty.

The bullet?

The metal was developed

by a private company.

What company?

LEXCORP.

Lex Luthor?

He also had private security contractors

in the desert compound.

Go on record.

Not a chance.

It's classified.

I happen to like my job.

It doesn't make sense.

You said that the ambush was

arranged to frame Superman,

but how could they know

that he'll show up in the...

...in the middle of the desert.

Thank you.

Alright, come on through.

The Senate hearing is expected

to get under way in any minute now.

Of course the big unknown

in all of this is:

Will Superman show up? That is

what they're really waiting to see.

Mr. Keefe. Mr. Keefe.

Soledad O'Brien "In the Moment"

Quick question for you.

You're heading in to meet with the

senators. What would you tell them?

Um. I've come here

to tell them to wake up.

This is flesh and blood.

He's delivered a war here.

And this...

This is what war looks like.

I have nothing.

There are plenty of people, sir,

who would say he's their hero.

He is not a hero!

Grace can you get Greg

up here please, right now.

Senator!

Hi, you.

Don't go anywhere.

I want to talk to you.

You know what, Mercy? You go in and...

make sure no one takes my seat.

So, what'd you been up to?

I'm just here to tell my story.

That I was willing to finance

a Kryptonian deterrent,

but a certain junior Senator from Kentucky

decided to block it.

Yes, the Chair of the Committee

on Superman is soft on security.

Greg, why hasn't he

been getting our checks?

He is, Mr. Wayne.

He gets a check from the

victims fund every month.

BRUCE WAYNE, OPEN YOUR EYES

- He returns them.

An employee of Wayne financial

who lost both his legs

in those horrific events in Metropolis

that happened 2 years ago.

Bruce, NO TRUCE

- Jesus.

- B WAYNE, I HAUNT YOU

- BRUCE WAYNE = BLIND

Why haven't I seen this?

I'm sorry.

I'll get to the bottom of it.

And there he is.

Superman is here.

He's actually at the

United States capitol.

This is really a historic moment.

Nor we expect that Superman would give

some kind of a statement to the Senate

to the American people,

and of course to the world.

He's here.

He came.

- He's above the Capitol.

- Ow.

You are going to be on the

hot seat in there, June bun.

I grew up on a farm.

I know how to wrestle a pig.

Do you know the oldest lie

in America, Senator?

It's that power can be innocent.

Good luck.

Freddy, good to go.

- SUPERMAN=ILLEGAL ALIEN

- THIS IS OUR WORLD, NOT YOURS!

- EARTH BELONGS TO HUMANS

- GOD HATES ALIENS

GET OUT!

GET OUT!

GET OUT!

Another one came this morning

Mr. Wayne.

Let me say at the outset that

I am grateful to our witness

for coming before us today.

This is how a democracy works.

We talk to each other.

We act by the consent

of the govern, sir,

I have sat here before

to say that shadow interventions

will not tolerate by this Committee.

Neither will lies.

Because today is a day for truth.

Because only by speaking...

Only by working...

together, can we...

can we...

can we...

can we create a free and a...

gotten explosive device

into the hearing

by concealing them

inside his wheelchair.

As for Superman, he was in the room,

but obviously failed to stop him.

I didn't see it, Lo.

Standing right there

and I didn't see it.

Clark, there are people behind this.

I'm afraid I didn't see it

because I wasn't looking.

All this time.

I've been living my life

the way my father saw it.

Mending wrongs for a ghost.

Thinking I'm here to do good.

Superman was never real.

It's just a dream of

a farmer from Kansas.

That farmer's dream is

all some people have.

It's all that gives them hope.

This means something.

It did on my world.

My world doesn't exist anymore.

Wel..

Wel... come...
