GOOD NIGHT, BOYS.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD JOB.
THANKS. SEE YOU TOMORROW.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
DAMN IT, OLD MAN, I TOLD YOU BEFORE,
YOU'RE TRESPASSING!
HOW CAN I BE TRESPASSING
ON LAND MY PEOPLE OWNED FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS?
OUT OF MY WAY, CHIEF. I'VE GOT A JOB TO GET DONE.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES
OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
ARE YOU THREATENING ME?
HOW CAN I BE THREATENING YOU? I'M JUST AN OLD MAN.
YOU GOT A PROBLEM?
TAKE IT UP WITH THE BIG GUY.
GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

WHAT ARE THE POLICE DOING HERE?
SOME SORT OF AN ACCIDENT LAST NIGHT... AN EXPLOSION.
WELL, MAYBE THIS WILL CONVINCE LUTHORCORP TO FINALLY
GET THE HELL OUT OF SMALLVILLE.
IT'S AN OFFICE PARK, PETE, NOT A TOXIC WASTE DUMP.
WHAT'S THE HARM IN THAT?
COME ON, I'll RACE YOU BACK TO MILLER'S BEND.
HEY, KID, WATCH YOURSELF.
UGH!
UHH.
LANA?
DON'T MOVE.
I'M FINE.
YOU'RE IN SHOCK.
YOU FELL OVER 100 FEET.
YOU DON'T HAVE A SCRATCH ON YOU.
JUST LUCKY, I GUESS.
THAT'S SOME INCREDIBLE LUCK YOU HAVE.
WHERE'D YOU COME FROM?
I WAS JUST OVER THERE DOING RESEARCH
FOR MY GRANDFATHER.
THE LANDSLIDE MUST'VE OPENED UP THAT WALL.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THERE WERE CAVES DOWN HERE.
IF LUTHORCORP HAS ITS WAY, THEN THERE WON'T BE ANYMORE.
I'M KYLA, BY THE WAY.
UH...
CLARK. CLARK KENT.
THE INVINCIBLE CLARK KENT, APPARENTLY.
Pete: CLARK!
CLARK! YOU DOWN THERE?
YEAH, PETE, I'M ALL RIGHT.
HEY, MAN, ARE YOU GOING TO NEED SOME HELP,
OR CAN YOU JUMP YOUR WAY OUT?
I'VE GOT SOME COMPANY DOWN HERE. FUNNY GUY, HUH?
ALL RIGHT, MAN, AS LONG AS YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.
OH, MY GOD.
WHAT IS IT?
IT'S THE LEGEND OF NUMAN.
MY ANCESTORS HAVE PASSED DOWN THIS STORY FOR GENERATIONS.
THEY SAID IT HAD BEEN WRITTEN IN THE EARTH LONG AGO,
BUT NOBODY EVER KNEW WHERE IT WAS
UNTIL NOW.
THANK YOU.
SURE. NO PROBLEM.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
MY GRANDFATHER'S BEEN SEARCHING
FOR THIS WALL HIS WHOLE LIFE,
AND IT WAS PROPHESIED THAT NUMAN WOULD FALL FROM THE SKIES
IN A RAIN OF FIRE.
THEY SAY THAT NUMAN WILL HAVE THE STRENGTH OF 10 MEN
AND WILL BE ABLE TO START FIRES WITH HIS EYES.
PROBABLY SOUNDS SILLY.
NOT TO ME.
I'VE GOT TO TELL MY GRANDFATHER ABOUT THIS.
COME ON, I'll SHOW YOU THE WAY OUT.
TRY AND KEEP UP.
IT'S AN OCTAGON. IT'S A VERY COMMON SHAPE, CLARK.
OKAY, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE STORY?
HOW MANY PEOPLE FALL TO EARTH IN A METEOR SHOWER
AND CAN SHOOT FIRE FROM THEIR EYES?
CLARK, I UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR YOU
TO FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU CAME FROM,
BUT THOSE DRAWINGS COULD HAVE 100 DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS.
YOU PULLED THIS FROM THE SPACESHIP
JUST BEFORE IT CLOSED.
I DON'T SEE WHAT THAT HAS...
THESE ARE THE SAME SYMBOLS THAT ARE IN THE CAVES.
KYLA'S GRANDFATHER'S BEEN STUDYING THE STORY OF NUMAN.
MAYBE HE CAN READ THIS.
I WANT YOU TO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU TELL THOSE PEOPLE, CLARK.
DAD, IF THEY CAN TELL ME WHO OR WHAT I AM,
IT'S WORTH THE RISK.
SON, WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT KYLA
OR HER GRANDFATHER, FOR THAT MATTER.
I KNOW. THAT'S WHY I INVITED THEM OVER FOR DINNER.
ACCORDING TO THE LEGEND, A MAN CAME FROM THE STARS
AND FELL IN LOVE WITH THE MOTHER OF OUR PEOPLE.
OUT OF THAT FORBIDDEN AFFAIR,
THE COWACHI PEOPLE WERE BORN.
DO YOU KNOW WHICH STAR HE CAME FROM?
THE LEGEND ONLY TELLS US THAT HE LEFT ONE DAY
AND FLEW BACK INTO THE SKY,
PROMISING HE WOULD SEND ANOTHER.
AND THAT WOULD BE THIS NUMAN PERSON
YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT?
YES, OF COURSE, THAT WAS 500 YEARS AGO.
HE'S A LITTLE LATE.
YOU'RE NOT FROM AROUND HERE, ARE YOU, CLARK?
UM, ACTUALLY, CLARK IS ADOPTED.
THESE, UH, THESE SYMBOLS SEEM TO MAKE UP
SOME SORT OF ALPHABET.
THAT'S THE REALLY WEIRD PART.
OUR PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A WRITTEN LANGUAGE.
I'VE SEEN A SYMBOL HERE OR THERE ON ARTIFACTS,
BUT NEVER IN A PATTERN BEFORE.
SO YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN?
GRANDPA'S STUDIED A LOT OF ANCIENT LANGUAGES.
I'M SURE WITH SOME TIME HE CAN DECIPHER
WHAT THE SYMBOLS ARE.
IF LUTHOR DOESN'T GET AT THEM BEFORE WE DO.
MOM, MAYBE YOU CAN TALK TO MR. LUTHOR.
YOU KNOW LIONEL LUTHOR?
KNOW HIM? MOM IS HIS EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT.
CLARK, I'll DO WHAT I CAN, BUT IT ISN'T THAT EASY.
THE SITUATION ISN'T THAT BLACK AND WHITE.
THAT COMPLEX WILL CREATE 1,000 DESPERATELY NEEDED JOBS.
AND YOU THINK THAT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN THESE CAVES?
SO, UM...
DOES ANYONE WANT COFFEE WITH THEIR PIE?
YOU WANT TO HAVE A LOOK?
I KIND OF LIKE SEEING IT WITH MY OWN EYES.
SO THESE LEGENDS...
YOU DON'T THINK THEY'RE LIKE VENUS AND APOLLO
AND ALL THE OTHER MYTHS?
JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING'S A MYTH
DOESN'T MAKE IT NOT TRUE.
HERE.
DO YOU SEE THE BRIGHT ONE RIGHT THERE?
IF YOU FOLLOW THE STARS AROUND IT,
IT MAKES THE SHAPE OF A WOLF'S HEAD.
SEE HOW ONE OF THE EYES IS MISSING?
OUR ANCESTORS SAY THAT THERE USED TO BE A STAR THERE.
THAT'S WHERE NUMAN CAME FROM.
I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO IT.
YOU TELL ME.
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT FELL FROM THE SKY.
LANA.
YOUR MESSAGE SOUNDED URGENT, SO I JUST CAME OVER.
I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU HAD COMPANY.
THANKS. LANA, THIS IS KYLA.
HI. I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN YOU AT SCHOOL BEFORE.
OH, I GO TO GRANDVILLE.
I'M JUST HERE DOING RESEARCH FOR MY GRANDFATHER
AND RESCUING ANY GUYS THAT HAPPEN TO FALL INTO MY LIFE.
HOW'D YOU TWO MEET?
IN THESE CAVES UNDER THE NEW LUTHORCORP SITE.
THAT'S ACTUALLY WHY I CALLED YOU.
IF THIS NEW LUTHORCORP COMPLEX GOES AHEAD,
THE CAVES WILL BE DESTROYED, ALONG WITH ANCIENT PAINTINGS
THAT KYLA'S ANCESTORS DREW.
THEY'RE OUR ONLY LINK TO THE PAST.
DEFENDING A GOOD CAUSE SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING HENRY SMALL
MIGHT BE INTO.
WE'RE NOT EXACTLY
AT THE FATHER-DAUGHTER FAVOR STAGE YET.
BUT I'll ASK HIM ANYWAY.
THANK YOU, LANA.
NO PROBLEM.
SO, IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME HE'S BEEN INVOLVED.
THANK YOU, SHERIFF, I'M GLAD YOU TOLD ME.
THAT'S VERY ENLIGHTENING.
WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED, MR. LUTHOR.
HI, ETHAN.
LIONEL, WHAT'S GOING ON? I THOUGHT THE POLICE
WERE DONE WITH THEIR INVESTIGATION.
NO, THE SHERIFF'S NOT READY TO CALL IT AN ACCIDENT.
APPARENTLY, JOSEPH WILLOWBROOK, THE NATIVE AMERICAN
WHO'S SPEARHEADING THE PROTESTS,
HAS A HISTORY OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE.
THEY THINK IT WAS SABOTAGE?
UH, LET'S JUST SAY THEY'RE NOT RULING IT OUT.
MAYBE I SHOULD'VE DONE THIS PROJECT
IN GRANDVILLE.
SMALLVILLE NEEDS THOSE JOBS.
YEAH.
UM, I SENT FLOWERS TO THE FOREMAN'S FAMILY,
AND I ARRANGED FOR YOU
TO, UH, DO A CONDOLENCE CALL TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
GOOD THINKING.
I DON'T WANT TO BE PERCEIVED AS UNCARING.
I DIDN'T DO IT FOR THAT REASON. I DID IT BECAUSE
IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
YOU KNOW, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I'M WITH YOU
THAT I'D SWEAR I WAS TALKING TO MY WIFE.
SHE WAS A LOT LIKE YOU, MARTHA.
THE SAME UNFLINCHING HONESTY.
I MISS THAT.
HOPE I'M NOT INTERRUPTING.
HI, LEX.
LEX, ALWAYS GOOD TO HEAR YOUR VOICE, SON.
WELL, I-I NEED TO GET HOME EARLY TODAY,
SO I'll SEE YOU TOMORROW.
ALL RIGHT.
BELIEVE ME, LEX, I KNOW HOW HARD
YOU'VE BEEN WORKING.
YOU ENGINEERED AN EMPLOYEE BUYOUT
OF THE SMALLVILLE PLANT.
NOW LOOK AT YOU.
YOU'RE BUILDING AN EMPIRE OF YOUR OWN
WITHOUT MY HELP.
BUT YOUR SUCCESS SHOULDN'T PREVENT US
FROM JOINING FORCES
WHEN A LUCRATIVE VENTURE COMES ALONG.
COME ON, DAD,
YOU DON'T NEED ME AS AN INVESTOR
IN SOME RANDOM OFFICE PARK.
NO, NOT AS AN INVESTOR, LEX. I WANT YOU AS MY PARTNER.
BLAME IT ON A BRIEF BOUT OF SENTIMENTALITY.
SENTIMENTALITY IS SYNONYMOUS WITH VULNERABILITY.
YOU TAUGHT ME THAT.
YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.
THE PICTOGRAPHS ARE A LOT MORE DETAILED UP HERE.
WHAT DO THEY SAY?
IT PROMISES THAT ONE DAY
NUMAN WILL PROTECT THE ENTIRE WORLD.
[ RUMBLING ]
LUTHOR'S BULLDOZERS.
IT'S BEEN HAPPENING ALL WEEK.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S VERY SAFE FOR US TO BE HERE RIGHT NOW.
OH, CLARK, GET UP HERE. YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS.
WHAT IS IT?
IT'S ZIGET. HE'S LIKE A BROTHER TO NUMAN.
LEGEND HAS IT ONE DAY HE'LL TURN AGAINST NUMAN,
AND TOGETHER THEY'LL BE THE BALANCE
BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]
WHO'S THAT?
IT'S THE WOMAN HE'S DESTINED TO BE WITH.
THAT WAS HANDED DOWN
THROUGH THE WOMEN IN MY FAMILY.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW OLD IT IS.
[ RUMBLING ]
KYLA!
HOW'D YOU DO THAT?
JUST ADRENALINE, I GUESS.
NO, YESTERDAY, YOU DIDN'T HAVE A SCRATCH ON YOU AND...
WHAT, YOU SHOOT FIRE OUT YOUR EYES, TOO?
OH, MY GOD.
I WAS JUST JOKING.
YOU... YOU REALLY ARE NUMAN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM.
YOU DON'T SEEM VERY FREAKED OUT.
BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE DIFFERENT.
CLARK, IT'S OKAY.
MAYBE THIS COULD EXPLAIN EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN FEELING
THE LAST FEW DAYS.
THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT ME THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN.
CLARK, YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
I GREW UP AROUND A LOT OF THINGS THAT SEEMED UNEXPLAINABLE.
YEAH, BUT I'M...
YOU TRY AND USE LOGIC AND REASON
TO TRY AND MAKE SENSE OF IT, BUT...
YOU JUST HAVE TO GIVE IN.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, MR. SMALL.
IT'S REALLY GREAT OF YOU TO DO THIS.
YEAH.
TO BE HONEST, I'M GLAD YOU CALLED.
THERE'S SOMETHING I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.
LANA, I GOT THE TEST RESULTS BACK.
IT LOOKS LIKE WE SHARE THE SAME DNA.
SO YOU REALLY ARE... YOU'RE MY FATHER.
I DON'T THINK I'VE EARNED THAT PLACE IN YOUR LIFE YET.
BUT I WANT TO.
IF IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
[ PEOPLE SHOUTING ]
MRS. KENT, IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR CLARK,
HE AND KYLA ARE DOWN DOCUMENTING THE CAVES.
ACTUALLY, I'M HERE IN A MORE OFFICIAL CAPACITY.
UH, MR. LUTHOR WOULD LIKE TO SIT DOWN WITH YOU
AND DISCUSS YOUR CONCERNS.
I'M USUALLY BETTER AT SPOTTING A WOLF
IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING.
MR. WILLOWBROOK,
I UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE CAVES
BETTER THAN ANYONE,
BUT THERE MUST BE A WAY FOR YOU AND LUTHORCORP
TO COEXIST PEACEFULLY.
YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE MY SKEPTICISM,
BUT EVERY TIME THE NATIVE AMERICANS ARE ASKED
TO PEACEFULLY COEXIST, WE'VE BEEN KILLED
OR FORCED ONTO RESERVATIONS.
PLEASE, MR. WILLOWBROOK...
YOU MAY GET YOUR DAY IN COURT YET, JOSEPH.
BASED ON DISCOVERIES IN THE CAVE,
THIS CEASE AND DESIST ORDER IS EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
THE HEARING IS SET FOR A WEEK FROM TODAY.
TELL YOUR BOSS IF HE WANTS TO TALK,
I'll SEE HIM IN COURT.
SHERIFF, IF YOU'RE HERE TO HARASS ME
ABOUT MY PERMIT TO PROTEST...
JOSEPH WILLOWBROOK, I'M PLACING YOU UNDER ARREST
FOR THE MURDER OF DAN HAMMOND,
THE FOREMAN AT THIS CONSTRUCTION SITE.
WAIT... MURDER? THERE HAS TO BE A MISTAKE.
I FOUND A TOWEL IN MR. WILLOWBROOK'S TRASH,
WITH BLOOD ON IT THAT MATCHED THE VICTIM'S.
IS THIS LUTHORCORP'S IDEA OF PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE?
FRAMING AN INNOCENT MAN.
COME WITH ME, SIR.
LEX.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO CALL YOU BACK.
CLARK, IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
I NEED TO RAISE BAIL MONEY FOR JOSEPH WILLOWBROOK.
HE'S BEING SET UP, I THINK BY LUTHORCORP.
THAT'S A PRETTY SERIOUS ACCUSATION, CLARK.
DON'T GET ME WRONG.
I'M IMPRESSED BY YOUR CONVICTION,
BUT GOING HEAD TO HEAD WITH MY FATHER?
YOU'RE A LITTLE LIKE DAVID TRYING TO SLAY GOLIATH.
WHERE DO YOU STAND?
ANY CULTURE THAT'S LEFT A LEGACY TO ENDURE FOR CENTURIES
HAS EARNED MY RESPECT.
I'M AFRAID IT'S A LOSING BATTLE.
DIDN'T DAVID BEAT GOLIATH?
YOUR NEWFOUND ADVOCACY WOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO
WITH A BEAUTIFUL DOE-EYED CRUSADER, WOULD IT?
YOUR MOTHER TOLD ME ABOUT KYLA.
LEX, HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED IF YOU WERE DESTINED
TO BE WITH SOMEONE?
YOU'RE ASKING SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN FIGHTING HIS DESTINY
HIS ENTIRE LIFE.
A LITTLE SURPRISED TO SEE YOU'VE MOVED ON SO QUICKLY.
WHAT HAPPENED TO LANA?
IT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FEELING
WHEN THE PERSON LIKES YOU BACK.
LEX, PLEASE, CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THE BAIL MONEY?
I'M SORRY, CLARK,
BUT I DON'T MAKE IT A PRACTICE TO BAIL OUT ALLEGED MURDERERS.
MAYBE I CAN GET YOU TO CHANGE YOUR MIND.
IT'S A REALLY GREAT CAUSE.
THANK YOU.
HEY, SO IT LOOKS LIKE CLARK PULLED YOU
INTO HIS ACTIVIST PHASE.
BETWEEN HIM AND HENRY, I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A CHOICE.
BUT THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT.
THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.
I'VE NEVER SEEN CLARK THIS PASSIONATE ABOUT A CAUSE BEFORE.
I DON'T THINK THE CAUSE IS THE ONLY THING
HE'S PASSIONATE ABOUT.
YEAH, SO WHAT IS IT ABOUT KYLA THAT BREAKS THROUGH
CLARK'S SHINING ARMOR?
I DON'T KNOW.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT CLARK HAD TROUBLE LETTING PEOPLE IN.
I GUESS HE WAS JUST WAITING FOR THE RIGHT ONE.
YOU KNOW, CLARK'S SUDDEN INTEREST IN KYLA
WOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING... HELLO.
WOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE LETTER
THAT YOU WROTE WHITNEY, WOULD IT?
SORRY. I SAW IT ON THE COUNTER THIS MORNING.
IT'S ONE OF THE PITFALLS OF HAVING A ROOMMATE.
WHITNEY AND I HAVE BEEN WRITING TO EACH OTHER
EVERY WEEK SINCE HE LEFT.
ACTUALLY, I'VE BEEN WRITING HIM.
HE HASN'T REALLY RESPONDED MUCH LATELY.
AM I BEING REALLY EVIL IF I SUGGEST
THAT MAYBE HE'S TRYING TO MOVE ON?
I DON'T KNOW.
WHITNEY'S SHARED MORE WITH ME SINCE WE BROKE UP
THAN WHEN WE WERE TOGETHER.
WHAT IS IT WITH GUYS AND THEIR EMOTIONS?
THE CLOSER YOU GET TO THEM,
THE MORE THEY KEEP EVERYTHING IN.
IT MUST BE SOME SORT OF PROTECTIVE INSTINCTS.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST STOP FALLING FOR GUYS
WHO ARE TRYING TO SAVE THE WORLD.
NOT THAT I DON'T FIND THE DANK STENCH OF A CAVE INVIGORATING,
BUT WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH JOSEPH WILLOWBROOK?
I WANTED YOU TO SEE THEM FOR THEMSELVES.
THIS IS WHAT HE WANTS TO PROTECT.
INCREDIBLE.
THESE MAY BE MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN THE CAVES AT LA SCALLE.
JOSEPH AND KYLA ARE TRYING TO GET A TEAM DOWN
TO AUTHENTICATE THEM.
SO YOU'RE DOING ALL OF THIS FOR SOME CAVE PAINTINGS?
I'M DOING THIS BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE
TO UNDERSTAND THEIR PAST, DON'T YOU?
IT LOOKS LIKE A FASCINATING STORY.
MAKES YOU WONDER IF THE PEOPLE WHO DREW THESE PAINTINGS
THOUGHT THAT WE'D BE HERE 100 YEARS LATER LOOKING AT THEM.
SOMEHOW I THINK THEY DID.
LEX, THESE CAVES ARE PART OF OUR HISTORY.
SAVING THESE PAINTINGS MIGHT BE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
YOU'LL EVER DO.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, LEX?
MAYBE EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING WE CAN IMAGINE.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GOT GRANDPA OUT SO QUICKLY.
THANK YOU, CLARK.
ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL
ABOUT THE FACT THAT IT WAS LUTHOR MONEY
THAT BAILED ME OUT.
NOT ALL THE LUTHORS ARE THE SAME.
WHY ARE YOU DOING ALL THIS?
IT'S FOR A GOOD CAUSE.
MOM? I THOUGHT YOU'D BE AT WORK.
I WAS, UH, RUNNING AN ERRAND, AND I WANTED TO COME BY.
MR. WILLOWBROOK, I'M SORRY YOU GOT TANGLED UP
IN THE MURDER INVESTIGATION.
PEOPLE DON'T GET TANGLED UP IN THINGS LIKE THIS, MRS. KENT.
THEY GET SET UP.
I DON'T THINK MORE FALSE ACCUSATIONS
ARE GOING TO HELP ANYONE'S SITUATION.
BUT, MOM, SOMEONE FROM LUTHORCORP
PUT THE BLOODY TOWEL IN JOSEPH'S TRASH.
YOU MAY HAVE COME HERE WITH GOOD INTENTIONS,
BUT IT'S CLEAR WHERE YOUR ALLEGIANCES LIE.
KYLA, I THINK WE NEED TO GO.
THANK YOU.
ANYTHING NEW IN JOSEPH'S CASE?
YOU KNOW, CLARK, A SIMPLE "HELLO, CHLOE"
GOES A LONG AWAY.
I KNOW, I'M SORRY.
I'M JUST A LITTLE...
OBSESSED? I'VE NOTICED.
I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE CORONER'S OFFICE.
THEY FINISHED THE AUTOPSY, AND THERE'S A NEW DEVELOPMENT.
I GUESS THEY FOUND TEETH MARKS
IN THE FOREMAN'S BONES.
WHAT KIND OF TEETH MARKS?
CANIS LUPUS. WOLF.
TAKES JOSEPH OFF THE HOOK.
IT'S STILL A FEW NOTCHES THIS SIDE OF NORMAL.
I MEAN, WOLVES HAVE BEEN EXTINCT IN SMALLVILLE
FOR 90 YEARS.
THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE TELLS ME
YOU HAVE A WALL OF WEIRD EXPLANATION.
DON'T KILL THE MESSENGER,
BUT I FOUND OUT THAT KYLA'S TRIBE NAME
TRANSLATES INTO SKINWALKERS.
WHAT IS THIS, SOME SORT OF TRIBAL RITUAL?
IT'S A NATIVE AMERICAN MYTH
WHERE THE HUMANS TRANSFORM INTO ANIMALS.
IT'S JUST A LEGEND.
CLARK, SOMETIMES LEGENDS ARE TRUE.
YOU KNOW, THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME
THAT JOSEPH'S BEEN ARRESTED FOR HIS RADICAL TACTICS.
CHLOE, JOSEPH'S NOT A MURDERER.
[ THUNDER RUMBLES ]
AAH!
[ SNARLING ]
[ ENGINE STARTS ]
WELL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW? YOU DO STILL LIVE HERE.
OH, UH, KYLA CALLED FOR YOU.
TWICE.
YOU TWO CERTAINLY SEEM TO BE GETTING PRETTY SERIOUS.
YEAH, I CAN BE MYSELF WITH HER.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING FITS,
LIKE WE'RE DESTINED TO BE TOGETHER.
BUT STILL THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG.
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SEAT, SON?
WHAT'S UP?
I HAVE THESE FEELINGS FOR KYLA,
AND I DON'T WANT TO DOUBT HER,
BUT I'M NOT SURE SHE'S BEING HONEST WITH ME.
WELL, CLARK, NOT EVERYBODY'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY SEEM.
I MEAN, WE SHOULD KNOW THAT BETTER THAN ANYBODY.
DAD, I THINK SHE KNOWS MORE ABOUT THE FOREMAN'S DEATH
THAN SHE'S TELLING ME.
MOM?
MOM, WHAT'S WRONG?
A WOLF TRIED TO ATTACK ME.
Lionel: LEX...
HAVE I DONE SOMETHING IN THE RECENT PAST
TO OFFEND YOU?
THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS I CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION, DAD.
I'M REFERRING TO THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE POSTED BAIL
FOR A MAN WHO ALLEGEDLY MURDERED MY FOREMAN.
DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE AFRAID OF AN OLD MAN.
I'M SURE YOU KNOW THAT THIS PROJECT
HAS BECOME A PUBLIC RELATIONS DISASTER,
BUT NOW YOU HAVE ADDED AN ENTIRELY NEW ANGLE
FOR THOSE DAMN TREEHUGGERS TO EXPLOIT.
YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THE P.R. NIGHTMARE,
BUT PERHAPS WE CAN GIVE IT A POSITIVE SPIN.
IS THAT YOUR CRYPTIC WAY OF SAYING YOU'VE RECONSIDERED
MY PROPOSITION, LEX?
NO.
I'M OFFERING TO TAKE THIS PROJECT OFF YOUR HANDS.
I'll MATCH DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR WHAT YOU'VE SUNK.
INTO THE COMPLEX.
BUY ME OUT? WHAT ADVANTAGE WOULD YOU GET OUT
OUT OF SUCH AN IMPULSIVE ACT?
THE SATISFACTION OF SEEING A LOCAL TREASURE
PRESERVED FOREVER.
NO.
NO, I KNOW YOU TOO WELL TO BELIEVE
YOU'VE BECOME AN ACTIVIST, LEX.
THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THAT LAND
THAT IS EXTREMELY VALUABLE.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS.
HI.
I THOUGHT I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET YOU LATER
AT THE TALON.
I NEEDED TO TALK TO YOU.
OH, IS EVERYTHING OKAY?
KYLA, I'VE BEEN MORE OPEN WITH YOU
THAN ALMOST ANYONE EVER.
IT'S OKAY, CLARK.
I'M NOT GOING TO TELL ANYONE YOUR SECRET.
I KNOW, I TRUST YOU.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT SO MUCH MORE WEIRD.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT SKINWALKERS?
HAVE YOU BEEN STUDYING UP ON ME?
THE STORIES SAY THAT PEOPLE CAN TURN INTO ANIMALS.
ARE THEY TRUE?
THE VISITOR FROM THE STARS SUPPOSEDLY BROUGHT
SPECIAL GREEN STONES, AND THEY HAD REALLY STRANGE EFFECTS
ON THE PEOPLE.
THAT'S WHEN THEY SAID THE FIRST SKINWALKERS APPEARED.
SO THEY'RE REAL?
IT'S LIKE YOU SAID, CLARK, THEY'RE JUST STORIES.
LIKE THE LEGEND OF NUMAN IS JUST A STORY?
I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT YOUR GRANDFATHER IS TO YOU,
BUT I NEED TO KNOW IS IT POSSIBLE
HE'S A SKINWALKER?
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE DOING THIS.
KYLA, MY MOTHER WAS ATTACKED BY A WOLF
AFTER SHE GOT IN AN ARGUMENT WITH YOUR GRANDFATHER,
AND THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE FOREMAN WAS MAULED BY A WOLF.
YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY THINK HE'S A MURDERER.
JOSEPH WOULD DO ANYTHING TO SAVE THOSE CAVES.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE ON OUR SIDE.
THOSE PAINTINGS ARE VERY IMPORTANT,
BUT NOT ENOUGH TO KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE OVER.
IF THIS IS HOW YOU THINK OF US,
THEN MAYBE WE WEREN'T MEANT TO BE TOGETHER AFTER ALL.
MY GRANDFATHER'S RIGHT.
LIONEL LUTHOR CONTROLS YOU ALL.

JOSEPH.
KYLA?
NO. NO.
KYLA.
COME HERE. COME HERE.
YOU'RE OKAY.
COME HERE.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
I DIDN'T WANT TO HURT THE FOREMAN
OR YOUR MOTHER, CLARK.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME IT WAS YOU?
I DIDN'T WANT TO LIE, BUT I SAW THE LOOK IN YOUR EYE
WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS MY GRANDFATHER.
I'M SORRY, KYLA.
YOU'RE THE FIRST PERSON I THOUGHT I COULD TRUST.
I KNEW THAT YOU KNEW WHAT IT FELT LIKE
TO CARRY SUCH A BIG SECRET.
I HAVE TO GET YOU TO THE HOSPITAL.
CLARK, STAY WITH ME.
I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY I CAN'T BE THE ONE FOR YOU...
NUMAN.
KYLA.
Man: MR. LUTHOR, WE'RE ALL SHUT DOWN, SIR.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM HERE?
SOME KID THINKS HE'S A HERO.
CLARK?
MARTHA, I'M INDEBTED TO YOUR SON
FOR HIS COURAGE YESTERDAY, BUT I THOUGHT
YOU HAD A TALK WITH HIM ABOUT THIS BUSINESS.
I DID, AND I AGREE WITH HIM.
ARE YOU WILLING TO LOSE YOUR JOB OVER THIS?
THAT'S UP TO YOU.
MARTHA.
HI.
[ HORNS HONKING ]
THANK YOU, CLARK.
KYLA WAS RIGHT TO BELIEVE IN YOU.
I DIDN'T SAVE HER.
YOU DID WHAT YOU COULD.
KNOW THIS.
KYLA HAD FAITH IN YOU, AND SO DO I.
WHATEVER YOUR DESTINY,
FOR THE TRUE ONE IN YOUR LIFE.
DAD, YOU ALWAYS TOLD ME TO CHOOSE MY BATTLES WISELY.
I HOPE I DIDN'T USE SUCH AN OBVIOUS CLICHé.
YOU SHOULD'VE TAKEN MY OFFER
ON THIS LAND.
WHAT IS THIS?
IN LIGHT OF THE PETITION DRIVE,
THE STATE HAS DECIDED TO EXERCISE
THE HISTORIC ARTIFACTS AMENDMENT
AND BUY YOU OUT AT 30 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR.
I'M SURE YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO HEAR THAT LEXCORP HAS SECURED
THE CONTRACT FOR THE PRESERVATION
OF THIS ENTIRE AREA.
ALTRUISM IS NOT IN YOUR BLOOD, LEX.
BELIEVE ME.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TO,
BUT YOU FOUND SOMETHING VALUABLE
IN THOSE CAVES, AND WHATEVER IT IS,
I'll FIND IT.
LANA.
I WANTED TO TELL YOU HOW SORRY I AM ABOUT KYLA.
I'M SORRY YOU DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO KNOW HER BETTER.
YOU HAD A LOT IN COMMON.
THAT MEANS A LOT,
KNOWING HOW IMPORTANT SHE WAS TO YOU.
KYLA TOLD ME THERE USED TO BE A STAR
RIGHT OUT THERE BY THE BRIGHT ONE.
BUT IT DISAPPEARED.
IT'S AMAZING HOW QUICKLY A LIGHT CAN GO OUT.
WHY ARE YOU SHAKING? ARE YOU OKAY?
NO. NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
I GUESS IT HASN'T SUNK IN YET.
LANA... WHITNEY'S MOM JUST CALLED.
HE'S MISSING IN ACTION.
