Superman and Lois (2021) s03e03 Episode Script
In Cold Blood
1
Previously on "Superman and Lois"
I signed the divorce papers.
- I'll talk to you later?
- Yeah.
Henry Miller? You're
supposed to be in jail.
- You have powers?
- They granted him
a compassionate release
'cause he only had
a few weeks left to live.
He had a terminal brain tumor.
Did someone pressure you to release him?
- This interview's over.
- Who the hell are you?
Follow him we have to
find out who he works for.
Did you give Henry Miller powers?
Is that an accusation?
What's coming for me,
it's uncontrollable.
How could you possibly understand that?
I just found out I have cancer,
and I'm really scared.
I'm not ready for everything to change.
We are gonna get through this together
as a family.

Morning, sis.
Hey, Luce, you got a minute?
Yeah, what is it?
I know. I know.
I haven't checked in in a while.
No, it's not that.
There's something I need to tell you.
A few weeks ago, I talked to a doctor
about some irritation
I had had in my breasts,
and that led to a biopsy
and some other tests.
I found out I have stage three
inflammatory breast cancer.
Stage three?
Yeah, basically means it hasn't spread
to distant organs,
but it may have to nearby
muscles and lymph nodes.
♪
I was shocked.
There weren't any lumps.
It was just irritation and swelling.
It's rare
and aggressive, and I'm gonna start
chemotherapy this week,
and then I'll have surgery and radiation
so that if it has spread, we get it all.
Uh-huh.
Is there any Kryptonian
technology at your fortress
that could help?
My mother said there's
nothing she can do.

Uh, where you goin'?
The "Gazette".
Now?
Yeah, Judge Regan expedited
my FOIA request to look
at the sealed case files
connected to Bruno Mannheim.
I'm gonna get Chrissy
going through them,
see what she can find.
Okay, um, you remember you have
your first treatment today, right?
That's why I'm getting
Chrissy up to speed,
so that she spearheads
the investigation.
I'm not just gonna sit around

A little bit of both right now.
Come directly home after school.
Why am I the only one that's grounded?
Nat went, and Mr. Irons isn't mad.
She didn't lie about going
to a party in Metropolis.
- You did.
- Well, I have a dinner
with Dad after school, so
unless I can't go to that either.
Come straight home after.

I love her, but sometimes

That's gotta be hard,

What if I can't read your handwriting?

None of these people
were members of Intergang?
Not a single one.
Well, if I could tell you
one thing about Bruno Mannheim,
it's that he always
covers his tracks, so
there has to be another connection.
There is one prisoner
other than Henry Miller
that Judge Regan granted
compassionate release to.
James Distefano,
some sort of tech genius

to Mannheim either.

Um, Danner Medical.
They have facilities
all over Metropolis.
Let's go.

Any word?
I, uh, can't get ahold of her.
I'm sorry, Mr. Kent.
We're going to need to give

It's still fresh.

I missed my appointment.
Appointment for what?
For chemo? That's today?
- He's gonna be so mad at me.
- I'm so mad at you.
How could you forget
about your chemo treatment?
I just got swept up in the case.
And now I'm, like, what,

This is not okay, Lois.
It's fine. I can reschedule.
Okay, you're gonna
text Clark back right now,

[FRONT DOOR CREAKS]
Hi, Sam, what can I do for you?
Just got some stuff for Lois.
Is she upstairs?
Uh, actually,
she's on her way back
from an investigation.
You let Lois miss chemo
for an investigation?
Whoa, whoa.
I didn't let her do anything.
There was a break in the case and
I don't give a damn about the case.
There's always gonna be a case.
She's always gonna put it
ahead of her own health.
You can't let her be
selfless right now, Clark.
I'll talk to her.
Once you do, have her call me.
You and I gotta work together on this.
So is your mom gonna be
feeling sick after her treatment?
Everyone reacts differently to chemo,
so it's kinda hard to say.
But it's definitely
gonna get worse later on.
That sucks.
I just wish there was
something we could do to help.
What if we got her a gift?
Our mom's kinda hard to shop for.
She literally returns everything.
No, it would be something
that she couldn't return.
What'd you have in mind?
Let me check with my dad first.
Here you go.
You sure you didn't want anything?
No, it's okay.
I'm gonna actually get burgers
with my dad later.
I heard you met a guy
in Metropolis the other day.
Oh, yeah, we talked,
but I didn't end up getting his number.
Oh, so you just ghosted him?
Candice, I'm sure she didn't ghost him.
No, it wasn't like that.
I got into a fight with
some jerks from the party,
so we all had to leave early.
Oh, I did not hear about that.
Uh
I should get back to work.

Give me a ride after?
Yeah, of course.

So is there anything else
you didn't tell her

You know, I just I've
had a lot going on, so
Can't use Mom as an excuse.
Okay, it was
it was just a kiss, though.
- From your ex-girlfriend.
- Who bought you a gold chain.
- That's he's still wearing.
- It was expensive.
- Dude, what is wrong with you?
- Okay, okay. I get it.
I will tell her about Eliza.
Just stop judging me.
You're right to be mad,
but we had just gotten this
break in the Mannheim case.
[CHUCKLES] What? Do you really think
I care about Bruno Mannheim right now?
You skipped chemo, Lois.
It was an honest mistake.
I legitimately just forgot.
Okay, well, you can't just forget.
Look, babe, the boys woke up
at the crack of dawn
to make you breakfast.
- I didn't ask for that.
- I know. I know.
But you didn't have to.
They're worried about you,
just like your dad's worried about you.
Everyone in this family
is trying to help you
get through this, but
none of that matters
if you don't get your treatments.
You're right, and this doesn't excuse
any of that, but you know
that Bruno Mannheim is my white whale.
- Lois.
- This is the story
of a lifetime; I'm so close.
Okay, but this story
is not more important
than your health.
- I know that.
- Do you?
I promise today was an accident.
I already rescheduled for tomorrow.
Okay, great. Then we'll go together.
All right.
I just don't see how it's fair.
Four kids went to that party,
and somehow I'm the only one
that gets grounded.
You're also the only one
that didn't tell anyone
- where you were going.
- I knew you'd take her side.
Mm.
No, there's no sides here.
We both just want what's best for you.
Besides, your mom is still, uh
you know, she's still dealing with
everything after the attack.
How's she holding up?
Still pretty rattled, I think.
Yeah, I figured as much.
I was thinking about, um,
calling the sheriff and having him
send a patrol car by the house.
No, you don't have to do that.
We just got
a new security system put in.
Why? The other one was,
like, a year old.
- Mm-mm-mm.
- Sounds like somebody's
just trying to make money off all this.
Oh, no, it's not like that.
Mr. Irons put it in.
Guy who lives off of Main Street?
That Mr. Irons?
What the hell does he know
about security?
Uh
I don't know. I didn't check his résumé.
I mean, Mom just wants to be safe,
and that's all that matters,
right?
Yeah.
[COMPUTER WHIRRING]
Hey, is that the person
who attacked you?
I'm still trying to figure out
how their powers work.
Freaky.
Yeah.
- You, uh
- [CLICKS KEYBOARD]
Texted that you need
to ask me something?
Oh, right.
So I was talking to Jordan and Jonathan,
and they said they wanted
to do something nice for Lois,
and so I was thinking,
maybe we could give her Mom's watch?
Why would you do that?
I mean, I can engrave
all our names on it
you know, show her that we're
rooting for her, that we care.
It's kind of why I made it
in the first place.
I'm sure you could find
something else to give her.
But, I mean, it's kind of perfect.
She's not your mother, Nat.
I know that.
I just wanted to do this for her.
It's important to me.

And you weren't even alone, Lois.

- You brought Chrissy with you.
- You put her in danger.
- I know, okay?
- I know.
- Then why?
Why would you do this,
especially right now
- when you're sick?
- For that reason right there.
Because no matter
how many times I say it,
everyone is treating me the same way
like I'm fragile, and damn it, I am not!
Not yet, anyway, and until I am,
everyone just needs to let me be me.
Fine.
Just it doesn't feel
like you're taking this
as seriously as you should be.
This is all I have thought about
since the moment I found out.
Any time my mind is at rest,
it pops into my head,
and it is so exhausting.
Let me help you.
With what? I'm the one who has to sit
in that uncomfortable chair
for hours on end.
I am the one whose body is gonna be
pumped full of
Just toxic drugs.
I'm the one who might lose my hair,

my energy me.
I know.

But the best way to get through
this is gonna be as a team,
and that means me and you, Lois.
