PREVIOUSLY ON "SMALLVILLE"...
A SPACESHIP. WHERE?
YOU'RE A PUBLIC FIGURE NOW, SENATOR.
IT'S POSSIBLE THAT ANY ASSOCIATION WITH ME...
COULD BE DANGEROUS.
I KNOW I SHOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE ON,
BUT LIFE WITHOUT HIM DOESN'T FEEL REAL.
WHY WOULD YOU LIE TO SOMEONE YOU LOVE?
I WOULDN'T.
NEVER START A GAME YOU CAN'T WIN, MR. LUTHOR.
[ GRUNTS ]
I GUESS HE WAS KRYPTONIAN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
[ GRUNTS ]
I WANT FINE LOCATED,
OR SOMEBODY'S GONNA BE WONDERING WHERE YOU DISAPPEARED TO.
THERE'S A PROBLEM. THE SHIP'S GONE.
I'll TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION.
SO WILL I.
YOUR SECRET IS SAFE WITH ME, KAL-EL.
TELL ME THE TRUTH, CLARK. DO YOU STILL LOVE ME?
I'VE ALWAYS LOVED YOU, AND I ALWAYS WILL.
Man: THERE'S THE HUT.
LET'S HOPE WORD OF THE EVAC ORDER MADE IT OUT THIS FAR.
LET'S GO.
HOLD UP.
GOOD GOD.
SON OF A BITCH.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET BLOOD SAMPLES.
10 cc EACH.
HEY, THIS IS A QUARANTINED HOT ZONE! GET OUT NOW!
DID YOU HEAR ME?
YOU'RE EXPOSING YOURSELF TO A DEADLY VIRUS.
AAH!
[ GASPING, GROANING ]
♫ SOMEBODY SAVE ME ♫
♫ LET YOUR WARM HANDS BREAK RIGHT THROUGH ♫
♫ SOMEBODY SAVE ME ♫
♫ I DON'T CARE HOW YOU DO IT ♫
♫ JUST STAY ♫
♫ STAY WITH ME ♫
♫ STAY ♫
♫ COME ON ♫
♫ I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU ♫
♫ JUST STAY WITH ME ♫
♫ I'VE MADE THIS WHOLE WORLD SHINE FOR YOU ♫
♫ JUST STAY ♫
♫ STAY ♫
♫ COME ON ♫
Lana: CLARK, YOU'RE AMAZING.
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
OKAY, SO YOU'RE NOT GONNA WIN ANY DANCE CONTESTS,
BUT YOU'RE DEFINITELY NOT THE WORST.
LANA, I ALMOST STARTED A 10-PERSON PILEUP
DOING THE TWO-STEP.
WE SHOULD SKIP THE DANCING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.
WELL, MAYBE WE SHOULD TRY SOMETHING ELSE MORE OFTEN.
LIKE WHAT?
WELL, I'll GIVE YOU A HINT.
CHLOE HAPPENS TO BE PULLING AN ALL-NIGHTER
AT THE DAILY PLANET.
SO YOU HAVE THE DORM ROOM ALL TO YOURSELF?
ALL TO OURSELVES.
[ CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY ]
THAT SOUNDS GREAT. IT REALLY DOES.
BUT I HAVE TO GET BACK TO THE FARM.
IT'S GONNA RAIN TOMORROW, AND I HAVE TO PUT UP SOME TARPS.
CLARK...
WHENEVER YOU'RE READY, I'll BE WAITING.
AS LONG AS IT TAKES.
NO PRESSURE.
LANA.
I GOT TO GO.
IT'S GETTING LATE, BUT I'll TALK TO YOU TOMORROW.
OKAY.
Simone: I THOUGHT SHE'D NEVER LEAVE.
HI... I'M SIMONE.
I WAS JUST LEAVING.
WHAT'S THE HURRY?
YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL I TELL YOU TO.
OKAY.
YOU'RE GONNA BELIEVE EVERYTHING I TELL YOU,
AND YOU'RE GONNA DO EVERYTHING I SAY...
STARTING NOW.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND?
Lois: SMALLVILLE?
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?
LOIS, I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET SIMONE...
MY NEW GIRLFRIEND.
Lana: I GOT YOUR TEXT MESSAGE.
LANA.
I APOLOGIZE FOR INTERRUPTING YOUR SATURDAY NIGHT,
BUT I THOUGHT YOU'D BE INTERESTED.
IT'S OKAY. I WAS JUST ON MY WAY BACK TO METROPOLIS.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
MY FATHER TAUGHT ME NEVER TO REVEAL MY HAND, BUT...
I CONSIDER YOU MY PARTNER.
IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU,
I WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN THE SPACECRAFT EXISTED.
HAVE YOU FOUND THE SHIP?
NO, BUT I HAVE MANAGED TO TRACK DOWN MILTON FINE.
WHAT DOES HE GOT TO DO WITH ANY OF THIS?
HE WAS SEEN SEVERAL TIMES AROUND THE WAREHOUSE
WHERE I STORED THE SPACECRAFT.
AND HE HAPPENED TO DISAPPEAR
FROM SMALLVILLE THE SAME EXACT DAY THE SHIP VANISHED.
SOMETHING TELLS ME IT'S NOT A COINCIDENCE.
SO EITHER YOU'RE PLANNING AN EXOTIC VACATION,
OR THIS PROFESSOR IS SOMEWHERE IN CENTRAL AMERICA?
HE WAS LAST SEEN IN HONDURAS. MY JET LEAVES IN AN HOUR.
LEX, LET ME COME WITH YOU. MAYBE I COULD HELP.
LANA, I APPRECIATE YOUR PASSION,
BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M WALKING INTO.
I CAN'T RISK PUTTING YOU IN DANGER.
I PROMISE, WHEN I GET BACK, I'll TELL YOU EVERYTHING.
[ CRICKETS CHIRPING ]
HERE YOU GO.
APPLE PIE.
WELL, WHAT ELSE?
MY MOM JUST MADE IT.
OF COURSE SHE DID.
THAT'S DELICIOUS.
ALL I NEED NOW IS A GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE.
I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU HAVE THAT HIDDEN BEHIND THE MARMALADE.
CLARK?
[ WHOOSHES ]
WHAT DID YOU...
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?
HOWE'S LIQUOR STORE IN METROPOLIS.
WHAT?
METROPOLIS? HOW?
I CAN RUN REALLY FAST.
[ LAUGHS ]
SO IF I WERE TO SAY, "CLARK...
I WANT SOME CHOCOLATE-COVERED STRAWBERRIES."
[ GASPS ] HERE YOU GO.
YOU ARE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
I THINK IT'S TIME YOU TOLD YOUR GIRLFRIEND ABOUT US.
CALL HER AND ASK HER TO COME OVER.
OKAY, I AM THE FIRST PERSON TO CONCEDE
THAT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IN THIS UNIVERSE,
BUT CLARK KENT LIP-LOCKED WITH ANOTHER GIRL?
CHLOE, I'M TELLING YOU, IT WAS LAST TANGO AT THE TALON.
UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD FRONT-ROW SEATS.
WELL...
SOMETHING MUST HAVE HAPPENED TO HIM
BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T JUST DO THIS.
LOOK, I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE THIS WHOLE HERO-WORSHIP THING
WITH THE GUY, BUT FACE IT...
CLARK IS NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER RED-BLOODED MALE.
HIS BRAIN... IT'S NOT HIS COMMANDING OFFICER.
NO, LOIS, YOU DON'T KNOW HIM LIKE I DO.
HE IS DIFFERENT. HE WOULDN'T DO THIS TO LANA.
HE ALREADY HAS, AND IF LANA'S OUR FRIEND,
WE NEED TO SHOOT OFF A WARNING FLARE... NO.
NOW, BEFORE YOU UTTER ONE WORD TO LANA ABOUT THIS,
I JUST WANT... ONE WORD ABOUT WHAT?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
UM, LOIS NEEDS A PLACE TO STAY.
SHE NEEDS TO STAY AT OUR DORM ROOM FOR A COUPLE NIGHTS.
RIGHT, THE HEATER'S ON THE FRITZ.
AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I BROUGHT IT UP TO YOU
BEFORE SHE SAID ANYTHING.
OKAY.
LOIS, YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME HERE.
GREAT.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA PULL AN ALL-NIGHTER?
YEAH, WELL, AS MUCH AS I ENJOY
A GOOD DOSE OF SLEEP DEPRIVATION,
MY DEADLINE WAS PUSHED.
[ CELLPHONE RINGING ] OH.
HELLO?
HI.
OH, IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I'll BE THERE AS SOON AS I CAN.
WHO WAS THAT?
THAT WAS CLARK. HE SAID HE NEEDS TO TALK TO ME.
IT SEEMS REALLY URGENT. I'll SEE YOU GUYS LATER.
[ SIGHS ]
SO, LIGHTNING LEGS... [ BOTH CHUCKLE ]
GOT ANY OTHER SPECIAL SKILLS?
I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING YOU'RE CAPABLE OF.
AN "S" FOR SIMONE.
[ LAUGHS ]
EVER SINCE I WAS LITTLE,
I DREAMED ABOUT MY KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR,
AND NOW THAT DREAM'S ACTUALLY COME TRUE.
TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRT.
YOUR TURN.
NOW TAKE OFF THE REST OF YOUR CLOTHES.
SIMONE...
MY POWERS...
I COULD HURT YOU.
THAT'S A CHANCE I'M WILLING TO TAKE.
MAKE LOVE TO ME, CLARK.
OH, GOD.
YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT HER ANYMORE, CLARK.
GO TELL HER THAT IT'S OVER.
LANA, WAIT.
THIS IS WHY YOU COULDN'T SPEND THE NIGHT WITH ME?
LANA, I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
[ CRICKETS CHIRPING ]
MR. LUTHOR?
WELCOME, SIMONE.
DON'T YOU LOOK DELECTABLE THIS EVENING?
DO I EVER GET TO MEET
THE BILLIONAIRE BOY WONDER FACE-TO-FACE?
WELL, AS MUCH I'D LIKE TO ADMIRE YOU UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL,
I PREFER TO HOLD ON TO MY FREE WILL.
OH.
HOW'S YOUR PROGRESS?
LET'S JUST SAY THAT LANA LANG WON'T BE SENDING CLARK
ANY MORE VALENTINE'S DAY CARDS.
AND WHAT ABOUT CLARK?
HAVE YOU DISCOVERED ANYTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT HIM?
ABSOLUTELY.
WHAT IS IT?
CLARK KENT IS THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY...
KISSER.
THERE MUST BE MORE.
IF HE HAD SOME SECRET, DON'T YOU THINK THAT I WOULD KNOW?
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET... A CORN-FED FARM BOY.
I'VE DONE EVERYTHING YOU'VE ASKED ME TO,
SO NOW YOU CAN GET OUT OF MY LIFE
AND LEAVE ME ALONE.
PATIENCE, SIMONE.
THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET...
IN HONDURAS.
NO WAY. THIS WAS A ONE-TIME DEAL, REMEMBER?
DO YOU REMEMBER THAT I JUST UNEARTHED EVIDENCE
THAT COULD PUT YOU IN PRISON FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?
NOW, I THINK THE LEAST YOU COULD DO
IS ONE MORE LITTLE FAVOR FOR ME.
I'll BE BACK TOMORROW NIGHT. WE'LL TALK.
SIR?
I HAVE ROBERTS ON THE SECURE LINE.
IT TURNS OUT MILTON FINE ISN'T WHO WE THINK HE IS.
OH, THANK GOD, YOU'RE FULLY CLOTHED.
I WAS AFRAID I'D BE WALKING IN
ON SOME SORT OF DANGEROUS LIAISON.
I TAKE IT YOU'VE TALKED TO LANA.
WELL, I COULD BARELY HEAR HER THROUGH THE SOBS,
BUT, YEAH, SHE CALLED TO TELL ME
THAT SHE WAS SPENDING THE NIGHT AT AUNT NELL'S.
SO WHERE'S THE HOTTIE?
IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SIMONE, SHE'S IN THE HOUSE.
I DON'T GET IT.
I MEAN, IF IT WAS RED "K," YOU WOULDN'T BE DOING CHORES,
AND IF IT WAS SILVER "K," YOU'D BE AFRAID
THAT PITCHFORK WAS GONNA TURN YOU INTO A SHISH KEBAB.
[ CHUCKLES ]
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, CLARK?
I FELL IN LOVE.
I DON'T THINK YOU FELL.
I THINK YOU WERE PUSHED... OFF A CLIFF.
CHLOE, JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW MY SECRET
DOESN'T MEAN YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL.
YEAH, BUT I DO KNOW
THAT YOU'D NEVER INTENTIONALLY HURT LANA LIKE THIS.
CHLOE, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SAID
THAT MY RELATIONSHIP WITH LANA WOULD NEVER GO ANYWHERE
AS LONG AS I HAVE TO LIE ABOUT WHO I AM, AND YOU WERE RIGHT.
SO HOW ARE THINGS GONNA BE ANY DIFFERENT WITH SIMONE?
I TOLD SIMONE ABOUT MY POWERS.
OKAY, WAIT A MINUTE, CLARK.
YOU MAY THINK YOU'RE MADLY IN LOVE WITH THIS GIRL,
BUT YOU NEED TO STAY AWAY FROM HER.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW SIMONE.
I KNOW WHEN YOU'RE BEING MANIPULATED.
YOU'RE CROSSING A LINE HERE, CHLOE,
AND I HAVE ALWAYS TRUSTED YOU.
SO HOW ABOUT THIS TIME, YOU TRUST ME?
LET ME LIVE MY LIFE.
BACK OFF.
Simone: CLARK, IS THAT YOU?
HI, YOU MUST BE SIMONE.
I'M CHLOE. I'M CLARK'S FRIEND.
IT'S REALLY GREAT TO FINALLY MEET YOU.
HELLO.
I'M SO GLAD THAT CLARK HOOKED UP WITH YOU.
I MEAN, HE WAS JUST MISERABLE WITH LANA,
AND NOW I HONESTLY HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM MORE HAPPY.
YOU TWO ARE REALLY PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER.
THAT'S NICE TO HEAR. DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS?
YEAH, HE'S IN THE BARN.
CLARK, I NEED YOU.
CLARK?
[ ENGINE IDLING ]
Dr. Fine: I WOULD HAVE TEA AND PETIT FOURS WAITING,
BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT YOU SO SOON.
YOU KNEW I WAS COMING?
WHEN YOU LEAVE A TRAIL OF BREAD CRUMBS,
IT'S NO SURPRISE WHEN THE CROW COMES CALLING.
OH, I THINK A SIMPLE PHONE CALL WOULD HAVE SUFFICED.
I COULDN'T REVEAL THE TRUTH ABOUT MYSELF
UNTIL I WAS SURE YOU WERE DEDICATED TO YOUR CAUSE.
WELL, I HATE TO DISAPPOINT YOU, BUT...
I ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE.
AND IT'S NOT A PROFESSOR OF HISTORY, IS IT?
NO, IT'S SOMETHING MUCH MORE EXCITING.
TELL ME...
WHAT'S THE BENEFITS PACKAGE OF A GOVERNMENT OPERATIVE
WORKING FOR A COVERT BRANCH OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT?
[ SIGHS ]
VERY GOOD.
YOU FOUND THAT BREAD CRUMB ON YOUR OWN.
WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS WHAT YOU WERE DOING POSING
AS A COLLEGE PROFESSOR IN A KANSAS FARM TOWN?
I WAS INVESTIGATING THE POSSIBILITY
OF AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL PRESENCE.
THIS INVESTIGATION... DID IT BEAR ANY FRUIT?
[ CHUCKLES ]
WELL, WE BELIEVE A SPACECRAFT
OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN TOUCHED DOWN
DURING THE RECENT METEOR SHOWER, BUT...
AN INDIVIDUAL WITH QUICK REFLEXES AND VAST RESOURCES
WAS ABLE TO GET TO IT BEFORE WE COULD.
SO THAT'S WHY YOU WERE INVESTIGATING LUTHORCORP.
YEAH...
AND I ADMIRE THE REMARKABLE ADVANCES YOU MADE
IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE.
TOO BAD YOU COULDN'T GET INTO THAT SHIP
WHEN YOU HAD A CHANCE.
YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS.
[ SNIFFS ]
YOU KNOW THE ANCIENT MAYANS BELIEVED
THAT THEY WERE VISITED BY GREAT BEINGS FROM THE HEAVENS.
YOU THINK THE SHIP'S IN HONDURAS.
WELL, I'M CERTAINLY NOT HERE FOR THE COFFEE.
SO I THINK CLARK'S BIZARRE BEHAVIOR
MIGHT BE SOME FORM OF SUPERCHARGED HYPNOSIS.
I'VE HEARD OF HYPNOTISM BEING USED TO STOP SMOKING
OR LOSE WEIGHT,
BUT TO REDUCE CLARK TO SOME GOO-GOO-EYED LOVE SLAVE?
IT ISN'T JUST OVER-THE-COUNTER HYPNOSIS.
THIS IS PRESCRIPTION STRENGTH, AND IT NEVER WEARS OFF.
CHECK THIS OUT.
SIMONE'S DAD WAS WORLD-RENOWNED FOR CURING HIS PATIENTS
OF ALL KINDS OF AFFLICTIONS...
EVERYTHING FROM CRAVINGS TO CANCER.
MAYBE I CAN TALK TO HIM ABOUT MY NAIL-BITING ISSUE.
I'M AFRAID IT'S A LITTLE LATE FOR THAT.
LAST MONTH, HE DIED DURING A BOTCHED BURGLARY.
WAIT A SECOND, I'VE SEEN THAT JEWEL.
SO HAVE I, AROUND SIMONE'S SCRAWNY LITTLE NECK.
IT'S AN ANCIENT FAMILY HEIRLOOM THAT DATES BACK
TO THE GREAT ALCHEMISTS IN MEDIEVAL ENGLAND.
IT WAS ALSO THE ONLY THING STOLEN.
ARE YOU SAYING SIMONE'S RESPONSIBLE
FOR HER OWN FATHER'S DEATH?
WELL...
IF IT MEANT GETTING DADDY'S HYPER-HYPNO POWERS,
MAYBE.
I JUST THINK IT'S A TAD BIT COCKY
TO BE WEARING IT AROUND YOUR NECK LIKE AN OLYMPIC MEDAL.
NOT IF YOU COULD MAKE ANY COP BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE INNOCENT.
WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS,
OF ALL PEOPLE, WHY GO AFTER CLARK?
I DON'T KNOW...
BUT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO SNAP HIM OUT OF IT SOON
BEFORE HE DOES SOMETHING HE CAN'T EVER COME BACK FROM.
WELL, WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?
LET'S MOVE.
YEAH, YOU KNOW, I, UM...
I JUST NEED TO GRAB SOMETHING. I'll MEET YOU THERE.
OKAY.
HEY.
[ SPEAKING SPANISH ]
GRACIAS.
HIS FATHER CARVED IT AFTER CLAIMING
TO HAVE SEEN A CARRO DE iOS DIOSES LAND FROM THE SKY.
"CHARIOT OF THE GODS"?
YEAH.
I WANT TO TALK TO HIM.
UM...
I KNOW YOU CAN DO MANY THINGS, MR. LUTHOR,
BUT I'M NOT SURE YOU CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEAD.
DAYS AFTER THE SIGHTING,
HIS WIFE CAME HOME TO FIND HIS CHARRED REMAINS ON THE FLOOR.
DESPITE URBAN MYTHS...
HUMAN BEINGS DON'T SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST.
NO.
WE BELIEVE WHOEVER OR WHATEVER WAS IN THAT SPACESHIP
INCINERATED THE MAN.
IN FACT, WE SUSPECT THIS ALIEN RACE POSES A GRAVE THREAT
TO THE ENTIRE PLANET.
HOW DO YOU DEFEND AGAINST A THREAT OF THAT MAGNITUDE?
[ SIGHS ]
IT PRESENTS A GREAT CHALLENGE...
BUT WE ARE WORKING ON A POTENTIAL WEAPON,
A WEAPON THAT WOULD GREATLY BENEFIT
FROM LUTHORCORP'S ASSISTANCE.
WE'RE WELL AWARE OF YOUR TIRELESS QUEST
FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE, MR. LUTHOR.
YOUR TENACITY IS IMPRESSIVE.
I'll HELP IN ANY WAY I CAN,
BUT I WANT UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO ALL YOUR DATA.
THAT'S A BOLD REQUEST.
WELL, WITHOUT IT, THIS DISCUSSION IS OVER.
I'M NOT SURE YOU UNDERSTAND ME, MR. LUTHOR.
IF WE DON'T WORK TOGETHER, THERE MAY NOT BE A LUTHORCORP
OR A GOVERNMENT LEFT.
THINK ABOUT THAT ON YOUR FLIGHT HOME.
[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]
WHERE YOU OFF TO, ROMEO? A MOTEL WITH VIBRATING BEDS?
SIMONE AND I ARE GOING TO CALIFORNIA.
THAT WAY I CAN GET AWAY FROM YOUR RUNNING COMMENTARY.
WHOA, MY RUNNING COMMENTARY SAYS YOU'RE HYPNOTIZED.
NOW, CLARK, YOU NEED TO DROP YOUR SUITCASE.
YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
I'M ASKING YOU NICELY. STEP ASIDE.
LOOK, I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO DO THIS,
BUT IF NECESSARY, I'M GONNA HAVE TO TAKE YOU DOWN.
[ LAUGHS ]
I SEE WE HAVE A VISITOR.
[ SIGHS ]
I SUGGEST YOU TURN YOUR BOY TOY BACK TO NORMAL
BEFORE I REACH OVER AND RIP OUT
THOSE PEARLY-WHITE TEETH OF YOURS.
CLARK, BE A LOVE AND KNOCK HER OUT.
YEAH, RIGHT.
[ CHUCKLES ]
[ GASPS ]
OH, MY GOD. WHAT HAPPENED?
MRS. KENT...
I WANT YOU TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES
TO STOP HER FROM FOLLOWING US.
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO?
WE'RE LEAVING SMALLVILLE FOREVER.
AND YOU COULDN'T BE MORE THRILLED.
YOU WON'T MISS CLARK ONE BIT.
WELL, THEN...
YOU TWO HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME.
THANKS, MOM.
BETTER GO. OKAY. BYE.
OH, AND WE HAVE TO MAKE ONE QUICK PIT STOP
AT THE LUTHOR MANSION.
I NEED YOU TO DO ME A FAVOR.
WHATEVER YOU NEED.
CLARK, YOU'RE GONNA KILL LEX LUTHOR.
HE'S A DEAD MAN.
[ CRICKETS CHIRPING ]
[ GROANS ]
[ INHALES SHARPLY ] OW.
[ SIGHS ]
[ GASPS ]
MRS. KENT... WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE.
LOOK, YOU'RE NOT YOURSELF,
SO WHY DON'T YOU QUIT THE CALAMITY JANE IMPERSONATION
AND, UH, DROP THE WEAPON.
I DON'T LIKE IT ANY MORE THAN YOU DO, LOIS,
BUT IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP YOU HERE.
[ SIGHS ]
OH, MY GOD. I JUST KNOCKED OUT MARTHA KENT.
HELLO.
THE WOMAN WAS ABOUT TO WALLPAPER HER LIVING ROOM
WITH MY BRAIN MATTER.
RIGHT. WHERE'S CLARK?
WELL, WHILE I WAS SEEING STARS,
I THINK HIS GIRLFRIEND SAID SHE WANTED TO GO
TO LUTHOR MANSION OR SOMETHING.
SO WHY DON'T YOU STAY HERE AND KEEP MRS. KENT...
[ SIGHS ]
MRS. KENT?
WELL, IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO BE WELCOMED HOME AFTER A TRIP,
BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT TO FIND YOU HERE.
[ GRUNTS ]
CLARK, YOU'VE BEEN HYPNOTIZED.
HOW ELSE COULD YOU THROW ME ACROSS THE ROOM LIKE THAT?
I'M DONE WITH YOU, LEX.
YOU'RE UNDER SIMONE'S CONTROL NOW.
THE GIRL'S A COLD-BLOODED MURDERER, CLARK.
YOUR LIES CAN'T HELP YOU NOW.
[ GRUNTS ]
CLARK, BEFORE SHE WORE THAT JEWEL,
SHE WAS NOTHING BUT A PETTY SHOPLIFTER.
HER DAD NEVER TRUSTED HER WITH THE GEM,
SO SHE MURDERED HIM FOR IT.
I HAVE THE WHOLE THING ON SURVEILLANCE TAPE.
YOU DON'T BELIEVE A WORD HE SAID, CLARK.
MY SECURITY'S ON THE WAY.
OH, I'VE MET YOUR SECURITY TEAM.
I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND. I GAVE THEM ALL THE DAY OFF.
FINISH HIM OFF, CLARK...
AND MAKE HIM SUFFER.
AAH!
[ CHOKES ]
Simone: LEX!
KILL HER.
AND THEN KILL YOURSELF.
NO!
[ BOTH GRUNTING ]
[ GUNSHOT ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES, WIND BLOWS ]
[ CLARK GRUNTING ]
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, CLARK?
I THINK SO.
Clark: I FEEL LIKE I JUST WOKE UP FROM A BAD DREAM,
EXCEPT I REMEMBER ALL THE GORY DETAILS.
YEAH, UM, DID YOU AND SIMONE EVER ACTUALLY...
NO, THANK GOD.
OKAY.
SO THEN THE MORAL OF THE STORY
IS JUST NEVER GAZE INTO THE EYES OF A SEDUCTIVE WOMAN
WEARING A SPARKLY GEMSTONE AROUND HER NECK.
UNLESS, OF COURSE, HER NAME IS LANA LANG.
HAVE YOU TALKED TO HER YET? DID YOU GUYS KISS AND MAKE UP?
YOU HAVEN'T TALKED TO HER, HAVE YOU?
NO.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
I MEAN, SHE KNOWS THAT YOU WERE HYPNOTIZED.
BESIDES, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US HAS GONE THROUGH
SOME SORT OF AN IDENTITY CRISIS AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER.
IT'S LIKE A RITE OF PASSAGE IN SMALLVILLE.
SHE'LL UNDERSTAND.
MAYBE I DON'T WANT HER TO UNDERSTAND.
SEE, AS HORRIBLE AS THIS WAS, IT DID ACCOMPLISH ONE THING
THAT I DIDN'T HAVE THE GUTS TO DO MYSELF.
IT BROKE ME AND LANA UP.
WHAT?
WAIT A MINUTE. ARE YOU STILL HYPNOED?
CHLOE, HOW MANY TIMES CAN I BREAK SOMEONE'S HEART
BEFORE IT CRUMBLES TO PIECES?
BUT IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT. YOU WERE HYPNOTIZED.
LANA WASN'T. CHLOE, HER FEELINGS WERE REAL.
THE LOOK OF PAIN IN HER EYE
WHEN SHE WALKED IN ON SIMONE AND I...
IT MADE ME REALIZE THAT MY POWER TO HURT LANA
IS STRONGER THAN ALL MY POWERS PUT TOGETHER.
IT'S NOT LIKE MEETING A GIRL
WITH HOCUS-POCUS JEWELRY IS AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE.
YEAH, BUT HURTING LANA HAS BECOME ONE,
AND AS LONG AS I HAVE TO LIE TO HER
ABOUT WHO I REALLY AM, I'M GONNA CAUSE HER PAIN.
YOU DON'T SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT, SHE'S GONNA HATE YOU.
MAYBE THAT'S NOT SUCH A BAD THING.
MAYBE IT'LL HELP HER MOVE ON, FORGET I EVER EXISTED,
FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN GIVE HER WHAT SHE DESERVES.
YOU JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT IF YOU DO THIS,
THAT'S IT, GAME OVER, THERE'S NO MORE QUARTERS LEFT.
I MEAN, YOU'RE SAYING GOODBYE FOREVER.
IT WILL CRUSH HER, CLARK.
PLEASE, JUST THINK LONG AND HARD
BEFORE YOU END THIS FOR GOOD.
I'VE CLIMBED THESE STAIRS SO MANY TIMES BEFORE.
WHY DO THEY SEEM STEEPER THAN EVER?
THANKS FOR COMING BY.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BOTHER YOU AT SCHOOL.
CLARK, YOU CAN SPARE ME THE SPEECH ABOUT HOW SORRY YOU ARE.
I KNOW YOU WERE HYPNOTIZED,
AND I KNOW THAT YOU WEREN'T IN CONTROL OF YOUR ACTIONS.
I NEED TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
THAT WOULD BE REFRESHING.
I DON'T KNOW ANY OTHER WAY TO SAY IT...
BUT THE TRUTH IS... [ SWALLOWS ]
MY FEELINGS FOR YOU HAVE CHANGED.
CLARK, I WANT YOU...
TO LOOK ME IN THE EYE...
AND TELL ME THAT YOU DON'T LOVE ME.
I DON'T LOVE YOU.
I HAVE WAITED... FOR YOU TO GROW UP,
TO GET OVER WHATEVER HANG-UPS YOU MAY HAVE.
I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU.
I DON'T WANT ANOTHER CLARK KENT APOLOGY.
IT'S OVER...
FOREVER.
WE NEED MORE SAMPLES.
HOW DID SHE TAKE IT?
I'VE NEVER SEEN HER SO HURT... SO ANGRY.
SAYING THOSE WORDS
WAS THE HARDEST THING I'VE EVER HAD TO DO.
[ SIGHS ]
YOU'RE AN ADULT NOW, CLARK,
IN AN ADULT RELATIONSHIP,
AND THEY RARELY END THE WAY WE WANT THEM TO.
YOU KNOW, I JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.
IT WAS EITHER MAKE A CLEAN BREAK...
OR TELL HER MY SECRET.
YEAH.
I KNOW YOU DIDN'T TELL LANA THE TRUTH
BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO PROTECT HER,
BUT MAYBE THERE WAS ACTUALLY MORE TO IT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
DO YOU THINK YOU DIDN'T TELL HER BECAUSE...
MAYBE DEEP DOWN...
YOU DIDN'T THINK SHE WAS THE ONE?
MOM, I'll ALWAYS LOVE LANA.
I KNOW.
THAT'S WHY YOU DID THIS,
BUT YOU DIDN'T JUST BREAK HER HEART, CLARK.
YOU GAVE HER REASON TO HATE YOU.
I JUST HOPE HER ANGER DOESN'T DRIVE HER
TO DO SOMETHING WE'LL ALL REGRET.
OH, JUST THE WOMAN I WANTED TO SEE.
SO IT TURNS OUT EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE ACADEMIC, MILTON FINE,
ISN'T A PROFESSOR AT ALL.
LEX, I'M NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT MILTON FINE.
I ACTUALLY WANTED YOU TO BE THE FIRST TO KNOW.
IS EVERYTHING OKAY?
CLARK AND I BROKE UP.
FOR REAL.
LANA, I'M SORRY.
NO, IT'S OKAY. DON'T BE.
I ACTUALLY DO FEEL LIKE A HUNDRED TONS OF SECRETS
AND LIES HAVE BEEN LIFTED OFF MY SHOULDERS.
YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE BEING FRIENDS WITH CLARK.
NO MATTER WHAT HE TELLS YOU,
YOU DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE TRUTH.
YOU CAN NEVER TRUST HIM.
LANA...
I KNOW CLARK'S PROBABLY NOT THE EASIEST GUY
TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH.
I DON'T THINK HE MEANS...
PLEASE, DON'T DEFEND HIM, LEX.
HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO STUPID?
YOU'RE NOT STUPID.
YOU JUST PUT YOUR TRUST IN THE WRONG PERSON.
