"Anyway, what was I saying?" "So you did bring me in here to work." "Right, work." "You need to stop blabbering to the world that I'm writing the Lex Luthor exposé." "It's the biggest story of the year." "I" " I just thought we agreed that our dating life would be off the record." "We're hiding in a storage closet." "What more do you want from me?" "It didn't cross your mind that inquiring minds might wonder why a rookie basement dweller is writing this story?" "It has nothing to do with us." "Well , if I'm gonna keep our" "This a secret, I need to make sure that the only part of my body earning me stories is my reporter's nose." "I didn't give you the story." "Lex requested you." "What?" "Clark, hi." "It's your daily freak-out call." "Seriously , two weeks with no callback, what's going on?" "Lana said you smoothed everything out before you went to the Fortress." "I'm tired of lying about you being in Minnesota." "I'm getting really angry or really scared." "Hey, was that Clark?" "He said that he'd fix our satellite two weeks ago." "It still looks like Jack Frost puked all over the TV." "Yeah, he's still in Minnesota spending the holidays with Kara." "Well , when he returns from those 10 ,000 frozen lakes I would really like my Daily Show back." "In the meantime, happy holidays." "I had the print shop compile all my research on LuthorCorp, so there you go." "A hundred and one ways to make Lex Luthor squirm." "Thanks, coz." "You're actually my first legitimate source." "Thank me for convincing you to break it off with Grant." "Now no one can say you didn't land this one fair and square." "[CELL PHONE RINGING]" "Did anyone lose their phone?" "Hello?" "You've been ignoring me." "You got the wrong person here." "It's not my phone." "I know, but it's not easy getting your attention, Lane." "You erased my e-mails." "You tossed my letters." "I'm trying to help you bring down Lex Luthor." "Ah, hey, I appreciate that, but when it comes to LuthorCorp conspiracies a lot gets tossed in the crazy bin." "See if this gets me to the top of the pile , Lane." "There's a bomb on your cousin." "If you try to get hel.." "...if you so much as whisper a single word to anyone Chloe dies." "Do I have your attention now?" "[BOTH GRUNTING]" "When I suggested a dinner meeting, I was hoping to consume calories, not burn them." "Technically, I should be stringing popcorn at a Suicide Slums nursing home but then I wouldn't have the pleasure of beating you." "In that case, I'm afraid you've traded one business event for another." "I want you to ask someone else to write your exposé." "Lois has a mysterious way of diving for a penny and coming up with the Holy Grail." "I appreciate your brotherly concern but I don't have anything to hide." "Well , that's certainly a cavalier approach to a murder accusation and a public divorce." "Lois knows what she wants, Lex." "She'll get to you." "Or more importantly , get to you." "For someone who claims to have broken it off with her you certainly sound concerned by what she uncovers." "I'm not the one Lois has a vendetta against." "I thought she would have learned by now." "I always find a way to win in the end." "LOIS :" "Slow down, Adrian." "I'm not exactly Mozart on the keyboard." "I got everything up to you being an escaped clone from the LuthorCorp." "ADRIAN:" "With a body aging on overdrive." "I'll be dead any day now." "You'd think Lex Luthor would have kinks like that worked out." "I know, it sounds crazy, but you need to believe me." "It doesn't matter what I believe." "I am printing this to protect my cousin." "Take it from a fellow Lex hater the Planet won't print anything without proof." "Just write the story." "In a couple of hours, every newspaper in the country will be begging for it." "Come on." "What?" "[PHONE RINGING]" "ADRIAN:" "You don't think I covered my bases?" "Don't try anything cute." "Yeah, I wanna send a photographer...." "[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]" "[MAN GRUNTS]" "Are you nuts?" "What are you doing?" "I saw you staring at me." "Yeah?" "So?" "You're a babe." "Great." "You're a terrorist and a pervert." "Deactivate the bomb." "Whoa, whoa." "Bomb?" "What bomb?" "Very funny." "[DIALING]" "[LINE RINGS]" "WOMAN:" "Office America, how may I help you?" "Oh, crap." "What the hell's going on?" "Uh...." "I am so sorry." "I thought you were someone else." "You need some serious help , lady." "I'm getting security." "Great." "Pull yourself together, Lois." "Hey, man." "I told you I was sorry." "[MAN GASPS]" "[LOIS GRUNTS]" "[CELL PHONE RINGING]" "ADRIAN:" "I told you to shut your mouth." "Now, you're gonna walk out and finish the story like nothing happened." "I'll clean up your mess." "You killed him." "And next time, it'll be Chloe." "CLARK:" "Lana." "Clark." "Oh, my God." "You had me so worried." "Were you in your Fortress this entire time?" "Time is so different there." "I didn't realize how long I was gone for." "Did you find Kara?" "There was nothing I could do." "I think it's time I accept the fact that she's gone and move on." "Kind of a tall order these days." "Well , I'm back and you're here." "That's what matters now." "Clark, as much as I have missed you, I- " "I think maybe being apart was good for us." "I had some time to think, to evaluate my priorities." "I'm dropping my fixation on Lex and all of his projects." "I had some time to do some thinking myself." "I may know a way for us to get back on the same page." "I need you to show me everything you have on Lex." "We'll get him together." "This isn't exactly hot chocolate on the boardwalk." "What are we doing here?" "What I drove you to do." "If this is some attempt at a guilt trip I haven't been watching Lex for weeks." "Lana, it's time I face what I did to you." "What you did?" "CLARK:" "What I didn't do." "Let you open up about how much Lex hurt you." "I wanted you to just move on, forget it ever happened, but you couldn't." "So you hid your feelings and you hid your research." "You must have known I felt responsible for everything Lex did while you were with him." "Everything he did to you while you were protecting me." "Lex is the villain here, not you." "I know, that's what I'm saying." "Lex needs to be put behind bars, Lana." "You were right." "I think you hold the key." "Scion." "Or what's left of it." "That vial, I must have destroyed it when I wrecked Lex's lab." "Before you showed up, he was talking about some alien invasion." "Do you think that this has something to do with it?" "Lana, if this is alien technology, you didn't destroy it." "Lana, what is it?" "If you really want to partner with me on this then I think it's time you see everything that I found on Project Scion." "Any outgoing?" "Yeah, right here." "Come on, lady." "CHLOE:" "Oh, thanks." "Hey, so good news." "Clark is back from the Twin Cities so I'm just gonna drop off my rewrite and head over and say hello." "[CELL PHONE VIBRATES]" "Great, cool." "So I'll , uh, send him your warmest?" "I'm sorry, I'm just busy prepping the interview." "You sure everything's all right?" "Yeah, just peachy." "See you later." "If we're taking Lex head-on, there's no point in sugarcoating it." "I think Scion might be more alive than we thought." "Lex doesn't know you found it?" "Not so much an "it" as a "her."" "While you were gone, Casey Brock, a LuthorCorp lab tech working on Scion was found half -conscious in an alley." "She was exhibiting random incoherent speech patterns and was suffering from toxic levels of metal poisoning." "So you had her quarantined." "What other choice did I have?" "When I heard about Casey's symptoms I had my contacts at the Isis Foundation have her transferred down here." "So this" " This isn't exactly official." "It is extreme." "But if she had something to do with Scion I couldn't have other patients exposed to whatever was in her bloodstream." "What do you mean "was"?" "Overnight, the metal content in her body dropped dramatically." "My team could find hardly any trace of zinc, magnesium or iron." "So whatever it was siphoned her body's natural minerals and moved on." "[WHISPER ING INDISTINCTLY]" "She's been doing that since she was admitted." "No one understands what she's saying." "I'm not surprised." "She's speaking Kryptonian." "Jimmy." "Oh, uh...." "You know what, I'll just grab the next one." "Don't be ridiculous, there's plenty of room." "Yeah, you know, the thing is is that I'm going the other way." "We're in the basement." "Travel options are kind of limited." "Oh." "Right." "[CHRISTMAS ELEVATOR MUSIC PLAYING]" "You going to the Christmas party later?" "No." "I think I'm gonna pull my Scrooge card on this one and stay home." "I heard Susan from HR is bringing mistletoe tonight." "I know." "I'm all about the amusement factor." "If I remember correctly , there was mistletoe last year." "Didn't seem to stop you." "Yeah, well , that was different." "I mean, I already had my sights set on you." "Oh, my God." "[ELEVATOR SCREECHES]" "[PUSHING BUTTONS]" "We're stuck." "With a bomb." "[PEOPLE CHATTERING]" "MAN:" "Any civil servant...." "ADRIAN:" "Gotta say, much cuter in person." "Adrian." "Draw attention to yourself and I'll decorate that elevator with your cousin." "Where's my story?" "Now, I haven't read C-4 for Dummies but I'm guessing that if we're babysitting a bomb, it'll be somewhere in this pile." "This is, uh" "Not supposed to be in there." "Jimmy, I seriously doubt my Secret Santa planted a" "Oh, wow." "I have the worst Secret Santa ever." "LOIS :" "It's all in there." ""LuthorCorp's First Functioning Clone."" "Something tells me you wouldn't go this far if it weren't the truth." "My body won't hold out much longer." "I'll be dead by Christmas." "You celebrate Christmas, Lane?" "Yeah." "We used to send out the Christmas portrait every year." "Me in an ugly sweater." "My mom with her fake smile." "My dad missing his football game." "Then you must know how it feels when one of them is in danger." "Hm." "You'd think." "After I escaped from LuthorCorp, I went looking for them." "My parents, my Christmas memories." "It's all a fiction some scientist downloaded into my brain." "Yet I remember them like they're real." "And come tomorrow morning's early edition, the world will know what Lex did to you." "Now, please, let my cousin go." "The deal was I write the story, you give me Chloe." "Not quite." "You need to force Lex to confess what he's done." "Don't make me remind you what's at stake." "If you can hear me, we're in the center elevator at the Daily Planet with a bomb." "Hurry please, Clark." "Clark?" "Whoa!" "Ah!" "Ow!" "CHLOE:" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "You waste your one phone call on Clark?" "I didn't realize we had so few flares." "Regardless, you call Clark before you dial 911 ?" "What's he gonna do?" "Dismantle the bomb with his hair?" "Lois snuck me a note which means that she's under surveillance by whoever's orchestrating this." "Now, how would it look if a SWAT parade trampled through the bullpen?" "ADRIAN:" "Smile at the nice people." "See, no one suspects a thing." "You have your bag?" "[CLEARS THROAT]" "My finger is on the detonator." "No confession, your cousin dies." "Try to warn them, your cousin dies." "Let's go see the boss." "CLARK:" "Everything Casey has been rambling turns out to be a hex code." "A pattern of Kryptonian zeroes and ones." "Right." "Chloe once used a program to find a pattern in Kryptonian symbols Lionel was scribbling." "Maybe she can translate this one." "Not if she's not here." "Here she is." "Right on time." "Mr. Luthor, you know Lois Lane." "Well , it certainly has been a while , hasn't it?" "I haven't seen Ms. Lane since I caught her breaking into my office." "Yeah, long time." "Shall we?" "Please." "Big story." "Ahem." "Exciting." "Maybe you should just ask your questions." "Right, questions." "Ask him about Project Gemini." "Mr. Luthor, perhaps we could start by discussing Project Gemini." "Excuse me?" "My sources tell me you run some kind of an ant farm except instead of ants, it's humans..." "...and instead of a farm, it's a lab." "Lois." "Not that you're renowned for your eloquence, Lois but I have no idea what you're talking about." "Human cloning." "The replication of a DNA sequence produced from a single identical ancestor." "My mistake." "I didn't realize you'd be pitching me a Hollywood movie." "Is this how you run your paper, Mr. Gabriel?" "Tell him who he's talking to." "Adrian sends his best." "Should that name mean something?" "Now, reach in your briefcase." "Oh, my God." "Aim it at Grant and get the truth." "It's time for the truth, Lex." "Lie again Grant Gabriel dies." "Lois, put down the gun." "Just answer the question." "Lane, what the hell are you doing?" "Getting the truth." "Lex, there's no time." "Why does Adrian have a memory for a life that doesn't exist?" "I don't know who Adrian is." "Well , I wrote a story." "He grew up outside Philly." "Played point guard for Homestead High." "Got his first job on the obituary beat at the Liberty Times." "That is where he first got noticed as the editor in Alaska." "First in sports, then" "[LOIS GRUNTS]" "What are you doing?" "Someone was pulling her strings." "I took her out of the equation." "So she wouldn't hear the truth?" "Those were my memories, Lex." "You're the editor of a major newspaper." "That information is everywhere." "ADRIAN:" "What about the time my mom got me a red-and-green dirt bike for my seventh birthday?" "I rode that thing everywhere." "Thought I could pedal- " "Until the chain wore out." "That's the one." "I saw your picture in the paper and realized we had a lot in common." "Who the hell are you?" "Lex, let him talk." "How do you have my memories?" "Because Lex made me." "And when I didn't work he made you." "What's he talking about, Lex?" "Congratulations, Grant." "You're the perfect clone." "He's insane." "You're me?" "Same DNA." "Same back story." "The only difference is that you worked and I didn't." "Lionel giving me up for adoption." "My Harvard degree." "Harvard degree." "The paper." "The paper." "It's all lies." "Am I even your brother?" "Brother?" "GRANT:" "Who died when Lex was 1 2." "You created me in a test tube kept me like some pet, so you could have a brother?" "Is that why you couldn't get rid of me?" "You're not my brother!" "You're a mistake." "[GASPS]" "[BEEPING]" "[BEEPING]" "CHLOE:" "Oh, my God." "Help !" "Help !" "Help !" "Help us!" "Help !" "JIMMY:" "Help us!" "Help !" "CHLOE:" "Help !" "Help !" "It's no use." "If someone could've heard us, they would've by now." "Jimmy, I don't think we're gonna make it." "[CHRISTMAS ELEVATOR MUSIC PLAYING]" "I'm not gonna cart my baggage through the afterlife." "There's something I have to share with you." "Though I always imagined this playing out to a Kelly Clarkson song not some "Jingle Bells" Muzak." "Chloe, time is sort of the essence here." "Right, okay." "I didn't pull away from our relationship because there was anything wrong with us." "I mean, we were-- Well , at least, you were perfect." "It was just me." "I'm" " I'm different." "I'm a meteor freak." "Some feedback would be awesome right now." "Okay." "If we're going out with no regrets." "Straight to her voice mail." "Oh, my God." "Clark, look at this." "[VOICES SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]" "[BOMB BEEPING]" "[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]" "[LOIS GROANING]" "Move it, Holy field." "I need to find Chloe." "Security just pulled her from the elevator." "Unfortunately , your puppeteer, Adrian, managed to escape." "What about Grant?" "He went to find you a medic, but I see you bounced back just fine." "Wish I could say the same thing about your career." "After the little ditty Adrian inspired I'm exposing your morbid science fair to the world." "LEX :" "Really?" "With what evidence?" "The word of some Belle Reve runaway?" "Look, not that it matters, but you're no longer writing my exposé." "Uh-uh." "You'll have to take that up with my boss." "I am your boss." "Merry Christmas, Lois." "I just bought the Daily Planet." "If you wanna split early , I think today qualifies as on-the-job stress." "I was just finishing up." "But I'm glad you're here, actually." "About the kiss in the elevator." "I do this thing when I think the world is ending." "And I grab the first guy I see and sort of end up in a lip lock." "Oh." "Yeah, me too." "I mean, girl, not guy." "Obviously." "And obviously , there's Kara." "Yeah." "But this wasn't about her." "Chloe, more than goodbye was said in that elevator." "I just" " I wish it didn't take a near-death experience for you to feel comfortable telling me the truth." "I know." "Trust me, Jimmy." "I've been struggling to tell you about my meteor infection for so long." "What did I do to make you think that I wouldn't accept you?" "Nothing." "I mean, I guess I always knew that you would , it" "The real battle was accepting myself." "I hope this means that you have." "So can I assume that that special ability has to do with that super-sized brain inside your head?" "No." "My nerd is all natural." "Oh, my God." "Can you fly ?" "Here, Jimmy." "Just watch." "I didn't really think" "Where were you in ninth-grade rugby?" "Believe me, no golden trophy is worth these side effects." "You okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "Can you just promise me that we'll keep this between me, you and my Neosporin?" "I promise." "You're still the same Chloe." "[SIGHS]" "The last of the acquisition documents." "Come midnight, the paper's yours." "Give me the names and bios of everyone on staff." "It's time to get rid of our deadwood." "[DOOR OPENS]" "Congratulations on the Daily Planet." "Wonderful." "One more piece of my life you can control, starting with my creation." "I can't believe you let that lunatic sneak his ideas into your head." "You're my brother." "No, Lex." "I'm an experiment." "Beneath all that arrogance, your cracks are starting to show." "Did you really think you could keep this a secret?" "Or are you so desperate to mean something to someone it was worth the risk?" "You can't punish me for wanting a family." "How am I supposed to feel?" "Being the product of a man who's destroyed everything he's ever touched." "No." "You're different, Julian." "If I didn't love you, you wouldn't be here." "I'm living proof you've forgotten how to love." "But if you wanna play God you might wanna remember his greatest gift." "Free will." "Let me live my life." "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" "Oh, great." "I'm fired, aren't I?" "Well , luckily , I just finished putting the bells and whistles on my résumé." "I would hire me in a second." "Lois, you're not fired." "Lex actually asks that you specifically remain on the team." "Me?" "Great." "Can't wait to watch him dull his shredder with my stories." "You wanna bury the truth, buy the media." "But the fact that you showed up on my doorstep means somebody's ready to spread good news." "Does this house call mean we're coming out?" "Actually, it means we're breaking up." "Oh." "Today was just an example of why it's not a good idea for us to be together and work together." "It's too complicated." "And I didn't even drag you to all the places I usually ruin a relationship." "Well , when you do decide to take that trip he's a lucky guy." "Whoever he is, we sure as hell aren't gonna work together." "So how are we gonna liquidate?" "You'll take the elevator and I'll take the stairs?" "Don't be ridiculous, Lane." "I'll take the stairs." "[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]" "I had to rev my geek into fifth in order to crack that hex code." "Just think of it as a thank-you for channeling your inner Bruce Willis yesterday." "I'm sorry it took till the last second for me to get there." "I don't know where I'd be without you." "Thanks." "Did I mention that I missed you?" "So this pattern, it made sense?" "Well , to me, not so much." "But to a computer, it's scripture." "The numbers represent an error message that high-tech systems encounter when they can't boot up." "And it's repeating because a computer keeps trying to start." "Exactly." "I think the sequence is learning from its mistakes and getting closer to successfully loading." "That's not my favorite look." "Chloe, this started as metallic fluid inside a vial." "It's now evolved into technology that's willing to kill." "It's the Brain interactive Construct." "Clark, you think that this is Milton Fine?" "But you turned off General Zod's PDA after he spread that computer virus across the world." "If any part of him was left behind to regenerate then Fine can be out there." "[DOOR OPENS]" "Chloe, hey." "I didn't know that you were" "Just leaving." "Do you wanna stay?" "I kind of overloaded on Danishes." "No, thanks." "Lois is actually taking me out for breakfast." "She's deemed it National Chloe Sullivan Day or something." "I'll call you." "What's the occasion?" "Your safe return from the Fortress." "Christmas came early this year." "I've missed that smile." "Me too." "To be honest, Clark, after everything I shared yesterday I was worried that I'd scare you away." "But I've never felt closer." "I realized something when I was gone." "That feelings, good or bad, they don't just disappear." "No matter who you are." "Are we still talking about Lex?" "I'm talking about us." "Yesterday, when I saw you it was like I fell in love with you all over again." "[ENGLISH SDH]" "Hi." "What?" "I just wanna remember this moment." "This should help." "We should go somewhere." "Why?" "I'm happy right here." "No, I mean, we should leave Smallville." "We should go see the world , Lana." "All the places you've ever dreamed of." "How about Paris?" "We'll have breakfast at the Eiffel Tower." "Yeah, right." "I'll fly you there myself." "Okay, you have a lot of powers, Clark, but last I heard, flying wasn't one of them." "You make me feel like I can fly." "I'd better go." "I have a meeting at the foundation." "I tell you what, I will make us a special dinner." "Our very own Paris." "What a beautiful day." "I almost forgot what the sun looked like." "The sun's got nothing on you." "Why don't you close those curtains, come back to bed?" "I guess I could spare a few extra minutes." "I love you, Clark Kent." "[ELEVATOR DOOR CLOSES]" "Mr. Luthor." "If you've come to complain about my son's recent acquisition of your newspaper" "This isn't about the paper." "It's about something a little more personal." "Paternity." "You know, I've dealt with nuisances like this before but from the editor of the Daily Planet?" "I'm already late for my meeting." "I admit, I'm not above embellishing a story, but I couldn't cook up something like this." "What if I told you the reason I'm here is because Lex Luthor missed his baby brother?" "Pretty amazing, huh?" "Using DNA from the cord blood of your deceased son Lex created a carbon copy." "Call me Julian, Dad." "Lex warned me not to see you." "He thinks I'm risking my life just standing here." "But I'm in control of my life now, and I plan to attack it head-on." "A courageous point of view." "If you've got a problem with me, let's settle it right now." "Problem?" "If you truly are my flesh and blood I'd like to get to know you, son." "Hey, beautiful." "What did you find?" "Another homeless man was murdered today." "The seventh in the last two weeks." "[BEEPING, DOORS OPEN]" "The police think it was a serial killer but I think we may have found the Kryptonian computer you mentioned." "PHANTOM:" "Brainiac." "The Brain interactive Construct." "Why do you think it's him?" "From the victims' coroner reports." "All of the bodies were found drained of their trace metals just like that technician from Lex's lab." "Why do you think this thing is killing random people ?" "It must be regenerating using the trace metals from the human bodies." "Clark, you have to stop it." "The problem is if it doesn't wanna be found it can literally disappear into the woodwork." "I might be able to help with that." "[KEYBOARD CLICKING]" "All of the bodies were found randomly scattered across the district so I triangulated the attacks to find a possible home base." "Suicide Slums." "I'm impressed." "Chloe's not the only one who knows her way around a computer now." "What would I do without you?" "[INDISTINCT CHATTER ]" "MAN:" "Oh, yeah." "[SQUEAKING]" "[SIGHS]" "You've fallen far from your ivory tower haven't you, professor?" "You're not Kal-El." "I'm the new and improved version." "Don't fool yourself , Phantom." "You're nothing more than a failed lab experiment dressed up in a Kryptonian's body." "Where is the Boy Scout?" "I'm not sure." "His Martian friend took me prisoner." "But I managed to escape." "When I got back, Kent was gone." "So I thought I'd step into his shoes." "You know what?" "They fit perfectly." "Aren't you concerned how Kal-El will react when he finds you in bed with his girlfriend?" "No." "If Kent was alive, he'd be back by now." "Trust me." "He's long gone." "Well lucky you." "There is one problem." "The yellow sun." "It turns my skin to stone." "It's only a matter of time before someone figures out that I'm not Kent." "I know how smart you are." "I thought you could help." "Try a good sunscreen." "Wide-brimmed hat, perhaps." "Kal-El nearly destroyed you." "Help me, or I promise I'll finish the job." "I'm in no condition to help you." "But there is someone." "A Kryptonian." "He came to Earth years ago and stayed." "His name is Dax-Ur." "One of Krypton's greatest scientists." "He'll know how to fix you." "How can I find him?" "When Kryptonians traveled through a portal they carried a beacon so they could be located." "A small , shield -shaped device synchronized to their individual genetic code." "Dax-Ur's fell into human hands." "Find it and you'll find him." "Are you, uh...?" "Are you telling me the truth?" "Lying to you would be like lying to a mollusk." "There's no point." "[LAUGHS]" "Oh, if this doesn't check out I'll shove you back into the test tube myself." "Looks like some people lost their jobs." "Casualties of the new commander in chief, Lex Luthor." "Out with the old , in with the new and easily controlled." "What's up?" "I need you to help me find someone." "A Kryptonian scientist." "Another Kryptonian?" "Jeez, Clark, I'm starting to think that Earth was your home planet's top tourist destination." "How'd you hear about this guy?" "Jor-El told me." "Look, Clark, usually, I'm right there to help , but right now my hands are so full." "And, uh, no offense, but Kryptonians aren't exactly low maintenance." "The only way I'll find this guy is to hunt the tracking device." "There's a rumor some people found it." "The Planet's archive might show a record." "Clark, look around." "Lex launched a torpedo through the hull of the Daily Planet and I'm just barely hanging on to the lifeboat." "Can't this wait?" "It will only take a second, Chloe." "As soon as I find out who has this shield..." "..." "I'll be out of your hair." "Shield ?" "Don't you already have one of those?" "The Kryptonian SOS from the time capsule , remember?" "Beauty pageant, gorgeous gold diggers?" "Yeah." "Clark why don't you go home and just take a breather and I'll call you later?" "Where is it, Chloe?" "I'm sorry." "I just really need to find it." "I was hoping you could jog my memory." "You never forget anything." "Your mind's like a titanium trap." "Look do you remember where I put the shield or not?" "I'm sorry, Clark." "I can't help you." "Dad." "Boundaries." "Lex, what is so damn important you had to pull me out of a crucial negotiation?" "Well , according to the LuthorCorp visitors' log Grant Gabriel came to see you yesterday." "[LAUGHS]" "He did, yes." "To discuss one of your latest projects." "Mr. Gabriel is at the center of it." "You've always shunned newspapers, Dad." "You used to tell me they're nothing but lies delivered daily." "I may have underestimated the power of the media." "And I was curious about your trusted lieutenant." "And what'd you think of him?" "Insightful." "Courageous." "Direct." "Your exact opposite, Lex." "Yeah, well , keep your distance." "I'll deal with Grant myself from now on." "You say that as if he belongs to you." "Now, Grant Gabriel is an adult." "You may be his employer but you can't claim him as if he were a piece of property." "You know, don't you?" "Do you believe you have the right to recycle your dead brother as if he were part of some sick vanity project?" "I only did what you never had the guts to do." "What you've done is depraved." "You disgust me." "You're telling me you wouldn't wanna see Julian again?" "To look into the eyes of the son you lost?" "It's you I've lost." "It's you I've lost." "Lana." "Chloe." "What are you doing here?" "I was actually looking for Clark." "He came by the Daily Planet and he was acting beyond weird." "Have you noticed anything different about him recently ?" "Yeah, I have." "He's finally opened up and let me in." "Chloe, he's more understanding than ever." "Lana, he insisted that I help him find a Kryptonian shield that he already has." "The Clark I know would never forget something like that." "Well , maybe you don't know him as well as you think." "After everything he's been through, I think he's just taking some time to focus on his own happiness." "His priorities are different." "His priorities may be different but his personality is in a whole other universe." "Lana, I've been a part of Clark's inner circle for a while now." "I know when he's not himself." "Chloe, maybe it's time for you to let go of him a little." "I'm not hanging on." "There's something wrong with him." "[DOOR OPENS]" "Hey." "Chloe, you seem a little tense." "Did you tell her about the move?" "What move?" "I wasn't gonna say anything until it was official but after Lana and I tie up a few loose ends we're leaving Smallville." "Together." "Wow." "I don't know what to say." "Actually, I think I should just go." "Is she okay?" "She thinks that there's something wrong with you." "You went to see her and you completely forgot about this Kryptonian shield that you have." "I didn't forget anything." "I just can't find it anywhere." "I think Kara might have taken it." "Well , if it's Kryptonian, do you think that she brought it up to the Fortress?" "Right." "The Fortress." "Jor-El ?" "I'm searching for something." "I think Kara may have brought it here." "JOR-EL :" "Leave here at once, Phantom." "And what if I don't?" "You're just a voice, Jor-El." "An echo from the past." "What are you gonna do?" "Lecture me to death?" "You are not welcome here." "Don't worry, Jor-El." "I'll find it sooner or later." "The lost Phantom has returned, Kal-El." "You must defeat him." "Lana?" "Lana?" "Lana?" "LANA:" "Clark, what is it?" "I'm right here." "Thank God you're okay." "Of course I'm okay." "You've only been gone an hour." "Lana, I've been gone for weeks." "Clark, I know that time's different in the Fortress, but check the clock." "You just saw me before you went up there to find the shield." "No, Lana." "That wasn't me." "It was the Phantom." "Lana, he looks exactly like me." "Jor-El trapped me in the Fortress." "He released me to stop the Phantom." "No, I'm sure it was you." "Clark, it had to be." "Chloe said that you've been having troubles with your memory." "Just think, Clark." "Remember in bed when you said you were going to fly me to Paris." "We were going to leave Smallville together." "It wasn't me, Lana." "Oh, God." "I'm sorry." "This is all my fault." "I need to get you out of here." "There's not much time." "He could be back any second." "[INDISTINCT CHATTER ]" "[WHOOSHING]" "Change of plan." "We have a problem." "Having trouble finding your scientist?" "The Boy Scout's back." "The prodigal son of Krypton has returned." "I need to kill him." "When I get near Green Kryptonite, I drain him of his power." "That's not a problem." "I'll do it." "Look at yourself." "You can barely catch a rat." "[SIGHS]" "I am the Brain interactive Construct." "No matter my form, my intellect remains formidable." "Do not underestimate me." "You should continue your search for Dax-Ur." "Not before I get Lana away from Clark." "[SNICKERS]" "Fall prey to the same human emotion as your counterpart you open yourself up to the same weakness." "Perhaps you two aren't so different after all." "He's nothing like me." "Oh, then strategy dictates that we divide and conquer." "Once I divert Kal-El , you can fetch the young object of your affection." "The Phantom's back." "He's been living with Lana while I've been trapped in the Fortress." "Oh, my God." "Is she all right?" "She's a little shaken up." "I took her to Oliver Queen's apartment." "I need to get rid of this thing for good." "I don't know how to defeat it." "You're Jor-El's emissary." "Do you have any ideas?" "The only way to destroy the Phantom is to expose it to Blue Kryptonite." "I don't understand." "Everything affects us in opposite ways." "If Blue Kryptonite takes my abilities, won't it make him stronger?" "Yes, but his power will increase exponentially." "His body won't be able to contain it." "It's like a light bulb being powered by a nuclear reactor." "Jor-El's ring was made of Blue Kryptonite, but it was destroyed." "How am I supposed to find more?" "Clark I believe there is another Kryptonian living here on Earth." "Dax-Ur." "He is a scientist who came to study the effect of the yellow sun on Kryptonian minerals." "If you can find him he will have what you need." "Why didn't you tell me about him before?" "He disappeared." "He made a journey here over a century ago and then he vanished." "The shield." "It's a Kryptonian SOS." "I found it in the time capsule that was buried over a hundred years ago." "It may belong to this scientist." "You may have found his beacon." "If you activate it it should lead you directly to him." "I don't know how to work it." "Sound recognition." "Put it in your hand." "Speak his name." "I believe that the device will do the rest." "Chloe, thank God you're okay." "Okay?" "I just found out you and Lana are leaving Smallville." "I am nowhere near okay." "Chloe, that wasn't me." "That was the Phantom." "I've been trapped in the Fortress." "That would definitely explain the bizarre behavior." "How do I know you're the real Clark?" "Chloe, it's me." "I know how to destroy the Phantom." "I need the shield in order to do it." "But I can't find it anywhere." "That was what the other Clark was looking for." "Chloe look me in the eye." "Nice try." "From what I've heard, everything about the two of you is exactly the same right down to your baby blues." "If I was the Phantom, direct sunlight would make my face change." "It's me." "Oh, my God." "Thank God it's you." "Your domineering double had me seriously worried." "I need to destroy him, but I can't do it without that shield." "I think I can help." "I didn't know what would happen if you found this so I went to the farm and I kind of borrowed it." "You saved me again, Chloe." "Please be careful, Clark." "Kryptonians don't roll out the welcome mat and if this guy ditched his SOS, he may not wanna be found." "I don't have a choice." "Stay back." "Dax-Ur." "[SIGHS]" "Good luck." "[SAW BUZZING]" "Excuse me." "Can I help you?" "I'm looking for someone." "Well if they live all the way out here, I probably know them." "Dax-Ur?" "Dax-Ur?" "No." "No, uh, nobody from around here by that name." "Actually, he's not from around here." "He's from Krypton." "So am I." "I'm Kal-El." "The House of El." "You always were survivors." "DAX-UR:" "So tell me, how did you leave Krypton?" "I thought the portals were destroyed." "My father, he built a ship." "I was found by a family in Kansas." "Daddy!" "Max!" "How you doing, buddy?" "Hey." "What's for lunch today?" "Sandwiches." "DAX-UR:" "Sandwiches?" "I'll be with you in a minute, Grace." "GRACE:" "I didn't know you had customers, so we'll wait out back." "Okay." "Come on." "You have a family." "You live like a human." "I understand the only way to do that is with Blue Kryptonite." "DAX-UR:" "I didn't put it on overnight." "When I first arrived, I wanted to be alone." "CLARK:" "Why?" "Sometimes a scientist can get caught up in theories." "My work led to the creation of the Brain interactive Construct." "I realized much too late that my technology could lead to the destruction of worlds." "So you came to Earth." "To clear my conscience." "I planned to study the yellow sun's effect on Kryptonian minerals but discovered it was the sun's effect on me that really mattered." "I could save the human race." "You gave up your abilities for Grace." "It must have been a difficult decision." "I knew in the span of a heartbeat." "The Blue Kryptonite, do you have any more?" "What's her name?" "It's okay." "[SIGHS]" "It's not every day a fellow Kryptonian asks me for help." "[KEYS BEEPING]" "Lana?" "I was just calling you." "Did Lionel know anything?" "Well , we have a problem." "The Phantom found Brainiac and now they're working together." "I can't take them both down on my own." "It's all my fault." "I led them right to it." "None of this is your fault , Lana." "Lana, we should get you out of here as soon as possible." "They could be anywhere." "Let me just go get my bag." "Come on, Lana." "We gotta go now." "LANA:" "I'll be right there." "[BEEPING]" "[PHONE BEEPING]" "[WHOOSHING]" "I guess my secret's out." "Lana, please." "Stay away from me." "I would never hurt you." "Lana..." "I'm the same person you've been with all this time." "You're a monster." "You told me that you're happier than you've ever been." "I made you feel that way, Lana, not Clark." "You pretended to be him so you could " "No." "When I first came to Smallville, the only thing that mattered was my own survival." "But that all changed when I met you." "[WHOOSHING]" "PHANTOM:" "Lana, what are you doing?" "Will this destroy him?" "CLARK:" "Yeah." "But take it and go, Lana." "Around Blue Kryptonite, I lose my abilities." "I won't be able to protect you." "I'll do it myself." "Lana, no." "Stay back." "You spent the last month telling me you felt like we were meant to be together." "Don't listen to him, Lana." "PHANTOM:" "I know what's in his mind." "He doesn't love you." "That's a lie." "You're lying, Clark." "To yourself." "You're so worried about doing the right thing, you don't even see it." "You know he won't commit his life to you like I will." "You know that." "He's right, Clark." "What?" "I've never been more in love than I have the past month." "Only it wasn't with you." "It was with him." "Nothing will ever come between us again." "[SCREAMING]" "I love you." "It's okay, Lana." "He's gone." "MIL TON FINE:" "Good evening, Dax-Ur." "Who are you?" "You should know." "You created me." "It took two super-powered beings to find you." "If they weren't busy destroying one another they might have figured out I was using them." "Don't lose your bracelet." "Why are you here?" "I'm damaged." "And you're the only one who knows how to repair me." "You're on your own." "All I need is the information in your mind." "I'll never tell you." "Oh, you don't have to talk." "[DAX-UR GROANING]" "You're so busy, you can't return my calls?" "I barely have time to do my job." "I don't know how you expect me to run a world -class paper with such a limited staff." "I don't." "You're fired." "Excuse me?" "I told you not to go near my father." "He's dangerous." "Lionel would have found out about me sooner or later and I wasn't gonna hide forever." "I trusted you." "You shouldn't have told him." "Why not?" "He's made a reservation for us tonight at the best steak house in Metropolis." "It seems Dad wants to get to know me better." "You know, for a newspaperman, you are shockingly naive." "Do you think you can build a relationship with that man?" "Don't be stupid." "What's wrong, Lex?" "You afraid I'll become the favored son?" "I'll accomplish something you couldn't?" "I'm afraid he could have you killed." "Look, you need to leave Metropolis for your own safety." "I set you up with a spot on the desk of the London Times." "Don't do me any favors." "You never help anyone, big brother." "Lex only looks out for Lex." "Don't walk away from me." "Haven't you gotten used to it?" "People leaving you?" "How many times have you been married now, anyway?" "You son of a bitch." "If it wasn't for me, you'd still be a smudge in a petri dish." "Yeah, you're some genius." "You're so lonely and pathetic, you had to build yourself a brother." "I gave you everything." "You turn your back on me, you throw it all away." "I'm not throwing anything away." "Go ahead, kick me out of my office." "It gives me more time to enjoy the full benefits of being a Luthor." "Last I heard, I was practically made for this family." "There's nothing like a good New York sirloin." "Dry-aged for 35 days and enjoyed over two glorious hours." "Thanks, Lionel." "Yeah." "Well , after a good dinner one can, uh, forgive anybody, even one's own relations." "That's not me." "That's Oscar Wilde." "Oh, I bet Oscar Wilda's brother didn't cook him up in a lab." "Grant?" "I don't care how you came into this world." "You are a Luthor." "You're my son." "[LIONEL CHUCKLES]" "Give me your money now." "All right, we don't want any trouble." "Now!" "Okay, okay." "Just please take it and get out of here." "[GRANT YELLS, GASPS]" "Julian?" "Julian." "[THUNDER CRACKING]" "[SCREAMING]" "[ENGLISH SDH]" "[COMPUTER BEEPING]" "Got it." "I just intercepted the file." "Yeah, of course I deleted any trace of it." "This isn't the first time I've done something like this." "I'll see you in a few." "[GASPS]" "Help." "Somebody's after me." "[ELEVATOR DINGS]" "[BUTTON CLICKING]" "[PANTING] The roof." "Come on, isn't this when you're supposed to swoop in and save me?" "[THUD]" "No pepper spray?" "[WOMAN GRUNTS]" "The city's a dangerous place." "You should be prepared." "You can have my wallet." "You know that's not what I'm after." "Next time maybe you'll think twice before you steal what doesn't belong to you." "GREEN ARROW:" "Finders keepers." "I like the look." "Italian?" "Why, you thinking of trading in your tights?" "[SHRIEKING]" "We were barely introduced." "Good morning." "Hi." "Sorry." "It's okay." "Well , I'm off." "Okay." "Wait, hold the doors." "Dinah Lance." "The word of justice." "The right-wing hawk of the airwaves." "You're all dressed up." "Heading to an execution?" "[DINAH SCOFFS]" "If you ever did any fact-checking, Lois you'd know that the state outlawed those years ago." "I'm sure you'll get over it someday." "Well , if you're so in the know I suppose you know that your limousine-liberal Casanova has resurfaced." "Minus a certain shrill arm trophy." "[ELEVATOR DINGS, DOORS OPEN]" "[SIGHS]" "Looking for a new hairdo?" "Let me guess, ham and Swiss?" "Your favorite." "No, actually." "Not at all." "Which I've mentioned three times this week, but thanks." "I can't hang around that house anymore." "Knowing that Phantom was living my life with Lana for over a month?" "While I was trapped in the fortress?" "We looked alike, but she couldn't tell the difference?" "And then she tells him that they belong together." "Does that mean she doesn't feel that way about me?" "Well , she isn't exactly the same girl you used to trip all over in high school either." "I don't wanna talk about this anymore." "Right." "I'm sorry I brought it up." "Any luck locating the Brain interactive Construct?" "Not since you asked me yesterday." "What happened to your face?" "First of all , did you seriously not notice this until just now?" "Don't worry, Clark, I'm fine." "Chloe." "All right." "I've sort of been doing this sidekick side-job for Oliver." "What?" "Look, Clark, a girl has gotta pay her bills." "And I mean, let's face it." "You kind of fill my pro bono quota." "His missions are dangerous." "The fact he's taking you with him" "No, no." "It was just Internet interception that ended up having a vicious ninja lady attached to it who chased me onto the roof and then almost beheaded me and went rappelling over the building." "Which I've got to admit, was really smoking cool." "Who was she?" "[DOOR OPENING]" "You put Chloe in danger." "So I take it we're skipping over the whole :" ""Hello, good to see you again" conversation." "If you wanna go there and put your own lives on the line, that's fine, go ahead." "But not Chloe." "Smart doesn't help when someone's trying to attack you on a rooftop." "First, I don't think our leather-fetish mystery woman was trying to kill Chloe." "She shouldn't have been in danger at all." "Chloe's in danger every other week with you, Clark." "You're the one who goes into things without giving it a second thought." "Try to think about someone other than yourself for once." "I'm selfish?" "Some of us sacrificed being with people we care about so that we can go make a difference." "What do you do?" "You sit around in domestic bliss, curled up on a couch while a world of trouble spins outside your door." "This blond woman." "Chloe said she shattered your arrows." "Not my proudest moment, but, yeah." "She must have some kind of sound-frequency control." "All the noise went muffled right before it happened." "The files she stole , Chloe said she didn't know what it was." "I didn't tell her what it was." "We've intercepted Lex's latest project." "It's a photo file." "And this masked woman just happened to show up." "Maybe Lex has a blond sidekick of his own." "LEX :" "I usually mind when someone sits in the chair but I'm a little distracted to care at the moment." "I don't take to the morally murky." "Unless they pay you." "You know my standards." "No matter how rich you are, you don't deserve to be robbed." "And you, Richie, are a lucky man." "If you stopped whoever's been hacking into my trade secrets I consider myself very lucky." "Your file almost fell into the wrong hands." "I had a little run in with an emerald archer." "Green Arrow?" "I wasn't expecting company." "You think you can find him again?" "If I had a good reason." "They've been breaking in and setting off bombs at my work sites." "They belong in prison." "You bring me Green Arrow and I will make it worth your while." "[DOOR OPENS]" "I'd like this back as soon as possible." "Thanks." "I, um, have been calling the farm." "But no one answers." "It's as if the place has been abandoned." "Or we have caller ID." "The, um, editor at the Daily Planet Grant Gabriel." "He's been shot and killed." "Let me guess." "You think Lex is behind it." "I do, yes." "I think that's why he bought the paper." "It's the beauty of a divorce, Lionel." "Covering up Lex's baggage is no longer my problem." "I don't wanna cover it up, Lana." "I want proof." "I know you can get it for me." "Lex and I have kind of suspended tea time together." "I know you have hours of footage." "Spy footage, Lana." "And I'm sure I can find something that will incriminate him." "What leads you to believe that I would help you?" "Several weeks ago, you held a very sick woman hostage." "I was trying to help her." "And how did that work out for you, bypassing the hospital?" "Oh, oh, yes, that's right." "She died in your care." "You were very quick to share all this with Clark's doppelganger but why didn't you tell Clark?" "[SCOFFS]" "Call me when you're ready for movie night." "I was hoping you could help me." "This vigilante woman attacked Chloe." "I'd thought maybe you'd know if she was connected to Lex." "It's interesting that everyone was so quick to turn me into Lady Macbeth when they found out I was watching Lex." "And yet, you're the second person to ask for my help today." "The second person?" "She's not in any of the old footage." "I would have remembered the mask." "Thanks, I appreciate it." "Clark." "When you were gone, I was treating this woman." "She was catatonic after Brainiac infected her." "What do you mean "treating"?" "Monitoring her." "Until she passed away." "She passed away?" "There wasn't anything else we could do." "Her mind was already gone." "We were just looking for clues." "Who's we?" "You told the Phantom this?" "Lana, why do you bother telling me now?" "Lionel's holding it over my head." "I can't do this, Lana." "You're only honest with me when you're threatened." "A few weeks with him" "I don't know what to say to you." "I thought that he was you." "You're supposed to know me better than anyone." "That's why you're here with me right now." "But it was easier with him, wasn't it?" "Yes, it was easier, Clark." "He was more affectionate." "He was more understanding." "Is that really what you wanna hear?" "I can't even look at you without you taking it the wrong way." "Because you're looking at me like you wished I was someone else." "Every transgression that I have made you have answered with a hypocritical judgment." "No one can live up to your self -righteous standards." "Do you have any idea how it feels to wake up every morning knowing you're going to fail in the eyes of the only person you've ever really loved?" "And you're the one who fell in love with Lex." "And then fell for that killer." "I don't think it's me you can't face." "Comes to town, doesn't even give me a call." "[SIGHS]" "Lois?" "[SIGHING]" "This is gonna be harder than I thought." "[OLIVER GRUNTS]" "That's for breaking my heart." "Really?" "It felt like it was for not calling when I got back into town." "Oh." "That one will come when you least expect it." "Would you put a shirt on or something?" "[SCOFFS]" "Well , at least I know why I got canned from your speed dial." "The whole , uh, jumping to conclusions thing before getting the full story?" "How's that working out for you?" "Huge time saver." "The dinner's for you." "[SCOFFS]" "I knew you'd be on my doorstep." "And if you weren't I'd have been on yours." "I missed you." "More than you could possibly know." "If you think the glistening-muscle answering-the-door-in-your-bare-chest routine was gonna work you were dead on." "You're all I could think about." "[THUD]" "Nice try." "Does that work on the fishnet leather-clad blonds you have stashed on the balcony?" "Get down." "[SHRIEKING]" "Ollie." "Ollie." "Oh, my God." "[LOIS GRUNTS]" "Lois?" "Oh, don't even think of looking at me right now." "So in all those nights together somewhere between brushing teeth and spooning in the sheets you didn't think to mention that you prowl the streets with green leather and a compound bow?" "Well , I don't usually bring the compound bow." "Oh." "So now he's a funny hero." "I can't believe you didn't tell me you were Green Arrow." "Hard to imagine why when you're taking it so well." "You'd think the lacerating ropes and platinum fembot might have something to do with my lack of empathy." "So what?" "Little Ollie got bored with dodge ball in P.E and decided to play William Tell ?" "Whoa." "Wait a second." "I kissed Green Arrow last year when you were standing there with me in the alley." "Yeah, I remember that with precise detail." "I can't believe you." "You, supposedly my boyfriend, arranged for me to be lip-locked with some wannabe hero." "[LOIS GRUNTS]" "Lois." "Ugh." "How do you put up with that?" "I don't know what it is you want from me but I'm hoping we just got off on the wrong foot." "You can save your charm for your squawking parrot over there." "Whatever someone's paying you, I can beat it." "This is more than just about money, pretty boy." "This is about something that you and your band of thieves might not understand." "Justice." "Lady Justice must be blinder than I thought she was if she's got you on her side." "What goes through the mind of a terrorist when he's about to set off a bomb in a factory?" "A terrorist?" "You really have it backwards." "No one's ever been hurt." "And Lex's factories aren't exactly producing Christmas toys for little girls and boys." "I'm the good guy." "Isn't everybody?" "[PHONE BEEPS, DIALS]" "When I say I'm gonna do something, I always deliver." "Now it's your turn." "You want your boy over here?" "Start the wire transfer." "In case you can't see it, the white flag is flying so don't even think about going off on me again." "I'm sorry for being so hard on you." "About Oliver, I just don't wanna see you getting hurt." "We could all breathe easier if we could find a lead on Blond Ambition but right now I got zero." "Lana might." "Twists." "Okay." "She doesn't have any footage linking Lex to the attacker." "She was able to keep track of his projects by piggybacking on the server from Luthor mansion." "Of course." "Right in front of my face." "Our silent siren knew I was making the interception because she was on the Daily Planet server." "Can you access who logged on last night?" "Yeah, I can't believe I didn't see that." "The negligent go-to girl strikes again." "Chalk another one up for the new and improved model." "Lana did come through." "But I'm not about to let Oliver poach the best sidekick in town." "Dinah Lance was the only woman logged on last night." "That doesn't help us much." "Why?" "Because she's not blond?" "Please, Clark." "The new bad girl could be as blond as I really am." "[KEY BOARD CLICKING]" "There you go." "Raven black." "Canary yellow." "Maybe we should call her the Yellow Raven." "Black Canary has a better ring to it." "This makes so much sense." "I mean, Dinah's slogan is "The word of justice."" "Family of cops, hard-line view of crime and corruption." "What are you doing?" "Earning back my stripes." "I just hacked into Dinah's computer and it looks like there is a transfer in occurrence to her bank account right now." "Oliver said the file you intercepted the other night was from Lex." "Can you block this transfer?" "Cut off the air supply so she'll have to surface." "Got it." "[WHOOSHING]" "Missing your payoff?" "Guess there's no honor among thieves." "Let me guess." "You're one of the Green Bean's little accomplices." "And now that your boss is all tied up, you're out of work." "What'd you do with him?" "Green Arrow isn't the villain here, Lex is." "Even tycoons who buy out the press deserve justice." "Is that the line you use to convince yourself you're on the right side?" "You know, you may not have experienced this, stud boy." "When you're on the right side, you don't do any convincing." "Did it occur to you there might be a reason why Green Arrow was stealing from Lex?" "Actually, it didn't occur to me that anything about Queen was reasonable." "Sorry, Green Arrow." "Next time you're a gun for hire, do your research." "Why would a rich guy like Oliver waste his time intercepting files for the fun of it?" "What line did Lex feed you?" "That you and your little gang were breaking into his plants stealing trade secrets." "I'm guessing he didn't tell you what those secrets were." "Where's Oliver?" "[WHOOSHING]" "[SHRIEKING]" "Well , aren't you clever?" "You managed to sneak in." "Did you, uh, find anything?" "Didn't find anything linking Grant Gabriela's murder to Lex." "Because I'm not looking." "Think, Lana." "You know what you've done." "Lying to Clark, deceiving him." "Clark knows everything." "And he will know everything from now on." "So I guess your cards are off the table." "Well , it's obvious that you adopted more than just the Luthor name." "What about the part of you that wanted to bring Lex to justice for all the evil that he's done?" "Is that also off the table ?" "Sometimes justice comes at too high a price." "Like sacrificing my relationship with Clark because I wanted to see Lex pay for his sins." "Why did you come here?" "I went to the edge and Clark pulled me back." "Trying to do the same thing for you." "So this is because you have my best interests at heart?" "It's not about you." "I'm trying to change." "To be honest, to be the kind of person that Clark could love again." "What game are you playing?" "Lex is living proof of what obsession can do." "I know my son better than you." "No, you don't." "Be careful." "Lois, what happened?" "This crazy woman attacked us." "Why did some woman attack you and Oliver?" "Hey." "Isn't the view spectacular?" "I never really noticed it before without the" "All the glass in the way." "The view?" "I know, can you believe this guy?" "A hydraulic walk -in closet?" "You're not gonna find that in the Sharper Image catalog." "Must be laundry day." "I mean, who picks archery as a hobby?" "That's embarrassing." "I'd keep my quiver in the closet too." "Lois, where is Oliver?" "I don't know." "She knocked me out and when I came to, they were both gone." "LEX :" "I think you forgot a little green something at home." "I'm not handing Green Arrow over to you until you can prove how bad he is." "The fact that he's been breaking into my plants seems sufficient." "About those, I've been doing a little digging." "It seems your auto-parts factory doesn't sell any auto parts." "And your tech warehouse doesn't distribute computers." "Looks like you've been buying into his propaganda." "I don't like being caught on the wrong side, which is what I'm on, isn't it?" "You were never gonna hand Green Arrow over to the police, were you?" "I'm not much for philosophical debates." "I just want what I paid for." "Well , then I guess that answers my question." "I'm not handing him over." "[GRUNTS]" "Where is he?" "GREEN ARROW:" "Look over your shoulder." "Better luck next time, Lex." "LOIS :" "Oliver?" "Slash Green Arrow." "Any other hyphenates I need to know about?" "No, that's pretty much the biggie." "Sorry." "Yeah." "I never meant to hide who I was from you, I just" "No, it's okay." "I get it." "You were just trying to protect me." "And I gotta say, it clears up a lot." "It never did make sense how you could blow off a hottie like me." "[OLIVER CHUCKLES]" "Right, it's true." "Um...." "Well , now that you know really hoping that, um...." "I know my job takes me out of town a lot, but on the weekends, there's, uh...." "I'm asking you, please give us another chance." "I can make this work." "I can't." "You know me and my big mouth, I can never keep a secret." "I don't believe that." "I've never been good at long-distance relationships." "Come on, Lois." "Okay." "Maybe I'm selfish here." "But I don't wanna wonder where you are every night." "I don't think I'd be good at the whole dual identity thing." "I can't." "I can't share you with the rest of the world." "Enter at your own caloric risk." "How are you doing?" "Aside from the metaphor I was hoping rocky road would help , but nothing, nada." "Not even a dent." "You know I thought Grant would help me get over Ollie and if that didn't end badly enough...." "The moment I saw Ollie again all those feelings just came rushing right back up." "Maybe it can still work between you two." "You don't know Ollie like I do." "There are parts of him you've never seen." "That's a given." "I mean sides of him." "He's got this one side that I'm not sure I can live with." "I mean, how would you know if you don't give it a chance?" "We're not you and Lana." "We're not the perfect couple." "We are not destined for each other." "Lois, this isn't like you." "Normally when things get challenging, that's when you get interested." "This is different." "My dad was a general." "Now, he cared about me." "I learned early that his role in the world was a lot more important than being a father." "And you know what?" "For good reasons." "And Ollie's life is demanding too." "Lois, just because someone's life has great responsibility doesn't mean your life has to take second place." "Of course it does, Clark." "Can you imagine what it would be like to look into somebody's eyes and know that their destiny is so much greater than yours that you will never compete?" "You will always be left behind." "That would be hard for anyone, but" "No, I can't be left behind one more time." "You know, where Ollie's life is going there's not room for me in it." "And I know he'd never admit that so I had to." "I just, um...." "I can't face another heartbreak down the road." "Besides, you know, why settle for hot, rich and famous when I can hang out with you?" "[DOOR OPENS]" "I guess you got Blondie's message too." "I spoke to Lois." "I'm sorry about what happened." "Maybe she'll get used to the whole dual identity thing someday." "Yeah, like when?" "When the Earth cracks open and time ticks backwards?" "I don't think so." "Hey." "Thanks for coming." "I guess I need to eat a little crow, huh?" "Is it too late to ask for an apology?" "Apology accepted." "Assuming you stop moonlighting for Lex." "That won't be a problem." "I've decided to hang up my fishnets." "I think I was out of my league." "I'll just stick to being the word of justice." "At least I can't hurt anyone over the airwaves." "Well , as long as they're not subsonic." "Still , I gotta say, um kind of seems like a waste." "CLARK:" "Besides, Oliver and his boys could always use a den mother." "It's true." "I'm not really much of a team player." "Really?" "That's perfect." "You're gonna fit right in." "What about you?" "I'd say ricocheting bullets off your back earns you the secret handshake." "Maybe someday." "OLIVER :" "Come on." "There's a couple of people I want you to meet." "So no one ever told you you have lousy taste in women?" "OLIVER :" "Yeah." "[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]" "Hi." "Hi." "I talked to Chloe." "Thought I should go stay with her for a few days." "I stole a Lamborghini." "I broke into a bank of ATM machines and I stole all the money." "I ripped off more vault doors than I could count in a lifetime." "Lana, I'm anything but perfect." "And I know that it's hard to live with me, especially when...." "Not everyone can handle the double -sided life I live." "Clark, I've been a two-headed hydra lately myself." "It's funny, you can have all the right motives and still do all the wrong things." "I just wish I knew how we ended up here." "But for what it's worth, I am still committed to us." "You don't think I am." "Clark I think that you doubt whether I'm the one you're really going to end up with." "I can't tell you the future, Lana." "Honestly , I don't know what's gonna happen to us." "I promise I'm gonna do everything to make sure that we can trust each other again." "I don't want this to be over." "[ENGLISH SDH]" "[DEVICE BEEPING]" "LOIS :" "This weather sucks." "What are we doing, Lex?" "No one asked you to be here, Lois." "LOIS :" "Trust me, I never planned on being your Sundance Kid." "Especially in the armpit of Motor City." "[THUNDER CRASHES]" "What makes you think Kara's here?" "Her necklace emits a GPS signal." "She's somewhere within a hundred yards." "[BEEPING]" "You LoJacked her?" "She has amnesia." "Who knows where she could wander if she blacked out again." "Right." "Well , sail on, Columbus." "I'm gonna chart my own course to find her." "Kara." "Are you okay?" "You know me?" "You know who I am?" "You really don't remember, do you?" "Okay." "This guy, Finley he locked me in this room saying he's protecting me." "Can you get me out of here?" "Does MacGyver blush every time he walks past me?" "I'll get something to jimmy the lock." "[GUN COCKS]" "This is none of your business." "Finley, put the gun down, okay?" "Let her go." "LOIS :" "Aah!" "Hey." "Come on, man, look." "Is it really worth killing her to get to me?" "Rhetorical question, Lex." "Finley, don't do this." "I won't let you get hurt, Linda." "[GRUNTING]" "[GUNSHOTS THEN FINLEY YELLS]" "Lex!" "I've squared away some money and when I come back, we'll figure out what to do with her." "Yeah." "Okay." "FINLEY :" "Okay." "You okay?" "Sure." "What's not to regret about waking up this morning?" "You called me Kara." "Kara Kent." "I'm your cousin's friend Lois whose jeans you've borrowed on more than one occasion." "Right." "Lois." "I know you've got amnesia." "You must, if your type is jailhouse chic." "What's going on?" "Finley's just a busboy." "That's all." "Great." "This doesn't exactly look like overtime." "How did we end up here?" "About a month ago, I lost my memory." "I wandered off the streets and into a diner where I met a waitress." "She gave me her couch, got me my job." "Everyone at the diner took me in like family." "Seems like Finley wants more than a sister." "He was usually so nice." "I had no idea he could just snap." "Can't believe Lex is dead." "Well , he is." "And if we don't find a way out of here we're next." "Lionel, how is he?" "He's, uh, in a coma." "Thank God we got him Medevac-ed back here from Detroit." "The, um, neurosurgeon managed to remove the bullet." "He says that there is a very strong possibility that, uh, Lex may never regain consciousness." "I'm sorry." "We never had a really close relationship." "A lot was said." "A lot went unsaid." "Clark, I know for a fact that every badge in Michigan is on this case..." "...and still no suspects, no witnesses." "I find it hard to believe the shooter would leave Lex in a ditch and no one would see anything." "Listen, I got a friend in Detroit, a cop." "He, uh, called me when he found out about Lex." "He let me borrow this." "Kara's alive?" "LIONEL :" "Uh, picture was taken less than 1 2 hours ago." "Excuse me." "Mr. Luthor?" "Yeah." "Clark, this is Lois' phone." "Lois, Kara and Lex?" "Not exactly Three's Company." "Kara's wearing a bandage." "She may be hurt, which means she doesn't have powers." "And whoever Lex was dealing with wasn't playing around." "If Lois and Kara were with him" "Then they're in danger." "We need to find them." "I'll use my healing powers on Lex." "He can tell us where Lois and Kara went." "The last time you used your powers, I pulled you out of a morgue refrigerator." "I walked out of there with a clean bill of health and cold feet." "If you use your powers again, you could die." "Permanently." "I could be adjusting to the growing pains." "I mean, we don't know." "Nothing happened when I healed Jimmy." "We have no choice." "The only clues we have to where they might be are trapped inside Lex's mind." "Couldn't figure out what Lex was doing but I may have found something helpful." "Project Intercept?" "Is that military?" "LuthorCorp developed it for the military to interrogate terrorists by getting inside of their heads." "Literally." "The entire project was spearheaded by Lionel." "Intercept links a suspect and interrogator's brain waves exposing the interrogator to all the suspect's memories and thoughts." "You're saying someone could actually go into Lex's mind?" "Where is this thing?" "LuthorCorp still owns all the equipment, but it was mothballed six months ago." "Well , I can see why." "How's this for fine print?" "The project worked several times, but then was abandoned after three of the interrogators died during implementation." "Autopsies revealed that their central nervous systems were completely fried." "They're not like me." "I can do this." "Clark, your body may be invincible , but who's to say your mind isn't vulnerable ?" "It's my fault Kara's missing." "But using technology built by Lionel Luthor?" "God only knows why he created that thing." "Lana, there's no other choice." "Clark, be careful, okay?" "[DOOR BUZZES]" "I watched three field officers die after their brains went into elector-neuro shock." "This machine is a death trap." "I pay you a small fortune, doctor, so please, withhold your negative opinions." "Ladies, would you please wait outside?" "If Lex wakes up, he'll never know I was in there, right?" "In the few successful cases, the terrorists had no memory of the process." "Now, the freshest memories will most likely be the first ones in." "The deeper you get, the greater the risk." "If your brain waves show sign of duress, I'll pull you from the procedure." "I don't plan on staying in there very long." "The software has been encoded with what you will see as a red door." "That is your emergency exit." "That red door, Clark you must never lose track of that." "If we get disconnected it's the only link between Lex's subconscious and reality." "Let's get this over with." "DOCTOR:" "Right." "Now just relax and stay still." "The procedure is painless." "[MACHINE WHIRRING]" "He's in." "[WHISPER ING]" "[WOMAN LAUGHING]" "DOCTOR:" "Sir, he's entering further into the cerebral cortex." "I'm sorry that Frank screamed at you." "It's no big deal." "I'm used to it." "I grew up with an old man like that." "Well , you're sweet for covering, Finley." "I owe you one." "Kara?" "Kara." "KARA:" "Can I warm you up?" "Sure." "I'm starting to see you more than some of the regulars." "Blame it on the pie." "It's by far the second best I've ever had." "Second best." "I'll pass that along to the kitchen, give them some incentive." "Lex." "Linda." "Linda." "Doesn't suit you." "Really?" "Who do I, uh, look like?" "I don't know." "Someone who doesn't belong here, that's for sure." "See, there I go again with my opinions." "What do I know?" "KARA:" "Well , uh, more than you realize." "You know, some days, I don't even know what I'm doing here." "Well , leave." "That apron's not chained to the counter." "I don't know where else to go." "It's sort of embarrassing, but, um, about a month ago, I lost my memory." "I'm sorry to hear that." "Actually, this bracelet's the only part of my past I have left." "Look, I'm not sure you'd be interested, Linda but I know some of the best researchers in the world." "Maybe one can help you." "You think they can help me get my memory back?" "LEX :" "What are you doing here?" "You can see me." "You shouldn't be here." "Lex, please." "Get out of my head." "Lex." "Get out of my head!" "He's been trying to kill me as long as I can remember." "Who are you?" "I'm Alexander." "Come on." "We gotta go." "Why would he wanna kill you?" "You're the good part of him." "He says I make him weak, and if he finds us, he'll kill us both." "Look, I don't have much time." "I'm looking for two women." "Kara Kent and Lois Lane." "You know where they are?" "No, but I'll start looking." "In the meantime, you need to hide." "This is a place Lex never visits." "You'll be safe in there." "Trust me, Clark you're my best friend." "DOCTOR:" "We have a spike in brain-wave activity." "It's too high." "He appears to be going in deep." "If Clark's gone in too far, he might never find his way out." "DOCTOR:" "Blood pressure's dropping." "I've never seen this before, sir." "I don't know what's going on." "LIONEL :" "Alexander Luthor!" "What is the rule about my briefcase, Alexander?" "Don't ever, ever touch it?" "LIONEL :" "Ah." "And you know I can tell when it's been opened." "Did you open it?" "Did you?" "No." "I swear." "Dad, I didn't touch it." "Don't lie to me, Lex." "Don't make excuses, you" "All right." "Be a man, Lex, and admit what you've done." "Admit it." "But I didn't do it." "I don't care about your work!" "All right, Lex, if it wasn't you, then who was it?" "Hmm?" "Answer me." "Who opened my briefcase?" "Answer me, Lex." "Mom." "I saw her in your office going through your stuff." "She told me not to say anything." "LILLIAN:" "You let go of him." "I had to know the truth." "Veritas what is it?" "Lillian, go on." "Go on, Lillian." "No, I am tired of the secrets." "Disappearing in the middle of the night to meetings." "Please." "What are you keeping from me?" "What are you doing with these people ?" "Veritas is not your concern!" "LILLIAN:" "Aah!" "Unh." "[LILLIAN GRUNTS]" "You keep out of my business, Lillian." "ALEXANDER :" "Mom?" "Are you okay?" "I'm sorry." "Don't, Lex." "You've said enough." "Don't go." "[DOOR CLOSES]" "It's beautiful." "Saint Anthony?" "Patron saint of lost souls." "You know, Finley said all you really care about is money." "But it's people , isn't it, Lex?" "I did my research." "You're a humanitarian." "All the hospitals you built , scholarships you funded." "Along the way, I've seen a lot of people get the help they need." "Look, everything's been arranged." "My jet's on standby to take you to treatment." "So this is really happening, then." "Guess we'll find out if I have a fear of flying." "Whatever you find out, I'll be by your side every step of the way." "I just" " I want this to work." "Trust me." "There's nothing that's lost that can't be found again." "I'm, uh, gonna go thank Finley and say goodbye to everyone." "LOIS :" "Quite the charmer, aren't you?" "You're a little out of your way for a club sandwich, Lois." "What the hell are you doing here?" "I figured you weren't in Detroit for the car show but I never would've guessed a secret rendezvous with Clark's cousin." "I'm helping her." "Never heard that one before." "Look, I don't expect you to understand." "You're right." "I work better with visual aids." "And now that I think about it, Clark does too." "LOIS :" "What the hell are you doing?" "KARA:" "No!" "[CLATTERING]" "[BEEPING]" "What is it?" "What's happening?" "The EEG, it's showing deltoids entrainment." "They're in phase." "You're nervous." "Why?" "Subject is in deep." "We've never been able to get anyone back from this point." "All right." "All right, all right." "Terminate the procedure." "Pull Clark out, now." "I already tried." "He's trapped, Mr. Luthor." "As long as their brain waves are synchronized, I can't separate them." "Now it's up to Clark to exit on his own." "[BEEPING]" "I always knew there was a voyeur lurking behind that telescope." "Look, I don't want any trouble." "Forgive me, I've been a terrible host." "Let me give you the grand tour."

"And now I know you're here so I will always keep an eye out for you." "I'll always be there for you." "I know where they are." "[GRUNTING]" "LIONEL :" "Miss Sullivan." "What happened?" "We need a doctor." "No, no, no." "No doctors." "Just get her to her apartment." "Clark, she's barely alive." "Trust me, doctors can do nothing for her." "Just get her home." "Are you sure you know what you're doing?" "When your dad locks your car because you snuck off to see your boyfriend's band you learn a few tricks." "Bingo." "Oh, my God, he's back." "We're gonna have to find another way out." "I think the gate's up ahead." "Go ahead." "After everything that I have done for you?" "Look before you get all trigger-happy again, let's be rational." "I am rational." "But I just killed a man." "This isn't how it was supposed to happen." "Linda I just wanted to protect you." "I know what it's like to start over." "People take advantage of you." "They look at you different." "I am different." "And I'm not Linda." "What are you doing?" "If you wanna kill Lois you'll have to kill me." "If you don't come with me I guess you're gonna turn me in." "[GUN COCKS]" "And I can't go back to prison, Linda." "[CREAKING]" "FINLEY :" "Whoa." "Whoa." "Whoa!" "Aah!" "[SIREN WAILING]" "LIONEL :" "You had us worried today." "How you feeling?" "That's the problem, Dad." "I feel fine." "What's going on?" "I'm admitted here with a bullet in my head now there's not so much as a scratch on me." "You can thank your friend." "Oliver Queen." "The healing technology developed by Queen Laboratories?" "You, of all people , should remember that." "I was under the impression that all the serum was destroyed." "Yeah." "All but a single dose, which I salvaged for myself if I should ever need it." "But you gave it to me." "You sound surprised." "You're my son, you think I'd stand there and watch you die?" "Honestly , Dad I don't know." "Today, I realized when...." "There is something I was afraid that I would never have the chance to tell you." "Yeah?" "And what's that?" "I love you, Lex." "My son." "[WATER RUNNING]" "CLARK:" "Here you go." "Thanks." "Lois didn't, uh, see me, you know, dead, did she?" "She had to shoot back to the Planet to write a story about what happened in Detroit." "Yeah." "Lex will kill that story in a heartbeat." "Speaking of heartbeats you didn't have one for over 18 hours." "I was hoping we could skip the lecture, go to the welcome-back dinner." "I'm starving." "That's 1 5 hours longer than the last time, Chloe." "I've been sitting here, literally, trying to think about what to say at your funeral." "Well , let's both be glad that I'm alive." "Because I know how much you hate giving speeches." "Chloe, I appreciate what you did for me." "It goes beyond friendship." "Never do it again." "Clark, I have the power to save people's lives." "Now, obviously , I am the last person who thought she would drag Lex back from the clutches of death but it was my decision to make." "Of course it was." "But, you know, you're not wrong." "I mean, as great as this power is, it does come with a lot of consequences." "And I think that one of the responsibilities for both of us is staying alive." "Maybe I am pushing my luck with this whole death thing." "I mean, it is death after all." "Does that mean you're never gonna use your abilities again?" "It means I'm more confused now than ever." "Out of the entire catalog of meteor abilities why was I the one chosen to be in charge of such an amazing gift?" "It's like a reflex." "I see you and start defending myself." "Well , that's what guilt does to a person." "Now, what were you doing in Detroit with Kara?" "I was trying to help her." "And she ended up kidnapped." "You knew she had amnesia." "Sure, once she told me." "That's when I volunteered my help." "Did it ever occur to you to pick up a phone and call me?" "I did call." "Twice." "Lana hung up on me before I could get a word out." "Do you even know when you're lying anymore?" "I've stopped pretending to care whether or not you believe me so why don't you?" "Because I do care, Lex." "And there's a side of you that knows what's right." "Wow." "Now, what would I do without Clark Kent, voice of reason?" "That voice isn't me, Lex, it's you." "There's still good inside you." "Let that voice lead you back to it." "I didn't know it would only take a brush with death to see your softer side." "Trust me, Lex, there's nothing that's lost that can't be found again." "[MARIE DIGBY'S "SAY IT AGAIN " PLAYS]" "Anything good?" "Um...." "Supposedly , this is one of my favorite songs and I don't even remember how it goes." "Lex, I saw what happened." "You were bleeding." "I told you, I know some talented doctors." "Obviously , you do." "So I guess I used to work here." "I wonder if they'll give me my job back." "Well , I think the owner will understand." "Thank you for meeting me." "I mean, home isn't feeling very" "Familiar?" "Yeah." "I mean, Clark seems like a really nice guy and everything but I can't help but feeling he's hiding something from me." "Heh." "As his former best friend, I know the feeling all too well." "See, Clark didn't even mention that you guys were friends." "What happened?" "I grew up." "Kara I'm not interested in keeping secrets." "This treatment will help get your memories back." "And with it, we'll get the truth." "Once and for all." "[ENGLISH SDH]"
