"Clark, I know hunting down Zoners is your top priority." "But if you haven't found anything in South America we still have a situation back here in Kansas we need to deal with." "No, he'll be here in 15 minutes." "Okay, great." "See you in a few." "Dr. Caselli." "You're early." "And you are annoyingly persistent, Miss Sullivan." "I've already told you, I don't know anything." "Don't sell yourself short, doctor." "I think you're a very knowledgeable man." "In the last few months, over a dozen patients have been transferred out of Belle Reve." "And I believe that's your signature on all the paperwork." "Patients are transferred in and out of mental facilities all the time." "Even ones that exhibit unusual abilities?" "Where were they transferred to?" "Is LuthorCorp involved?" "Does this have anything to do with 33.1?" "Okay." "I'll take that as a "no comment."" "I didn't want any of this." "But it was so much money." " Chloe." "You okay?" " Yeah." "Just in the nick of time as always." "It wasn't me." "He was down when I got here." "What?" "Well, if it wasn't you, then who..." "Dude, he's open." "Pass the ball." "Pass the..." "What's the matter with you, man?" "Still too slow, Stretch." "Bart." "Justice" "He got away from you?" "I thought you were the fastest man alive." "Whoever he was, he saved your life, which is more than I can say." "Come on, Clark, it wasn't your fault." "Even with all your powers you can't be everywhere at once." " I have to be." "I'm the only one who can round up prisoners from the Phantom Zone." "And stop Lex from experimenting on people with abilities." "What'd you find out from Caselli about 33.1?" "Nothing." "I'm not going to." "Caselli was in and out of prison before the ink could dry on his prints." "How'd he get out so fast?" "I don't know." "But a LuthorCorp lawyer paid Caselli a visit right before his release." " Lex." "Caselli could be stashed halfway around the world by now." "I'll get in touch with Lionel." "He can tell us something." "I'll sift through my LuthorCorp intel." "Maybe we'll get lucky, come up with a few crumbs." "Hey, gorgeous." "What's up?" "You miss me?" "Bart Allen." "We had a moment in the Talon last time I was here." "Two years ago." "Before you had a boyfriend." "Oh, right." "Wow, it's good to see you again, Bart." "Yeah, well, the pleasure's all mine, senorita." "I'll see you around." "Knock it off." "What's with the Spanish?" "Well, I just grabbed lunch down in Mexico, man." "They got this burrito down there, El Intestino Bustor." "You gotta take a run down there with me to try one." "What are you doing here?" "Well, I'm hanging out with my amigo, man." " What's it look like?" " That's what I'm trying to find out." "Last time you blew through town, you stole my dad's wallet swiped a priceless artifact from Lex." "Nearly got killed." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Those were the days?" "Yeah, all right." "Look, man." "I already told you, things are different now." "Okay?" "Back then, I needed a super-kick in the butt and you laid it on me." "Since then there's been no stealing for this gringo, I swear." "Am I really supposed to just buy that?" "I could squirt out some tears, if that'll help?" "No, but the truth might." "What were you doing at the Daily Planet?" "I saw Chloe-licious had a byline a while back." "I was in town on business, figured I had to check it out." "What kind of business?" "I'm a courier." "I pick things up." "I drop them off." "Lickety-split, don't have a fit." "All right." "Look, man, whatever." "You don't trust me, that's fine." "Okay, I'll be gone before you can even blink." "I don't know I can still blink pretty fast." "Mexico?" "Wanna go get that burrito?" "Now that is what I call a three-martini lunch." "It's a four-martini lunch." "If you include the one that you spilled down my shirt." " Right." " Yeah." "Well, how am I ever going to make it up to you?" "I don't know because this is my favorite shirt." "Oh, well, then I think we should get it into the laundry so that it doesn't stain." "Yeah, that's a good idea." "I gotta take this." "Go ahead." "Give me five minutes." " L..." " You know what I had in mind is gonna take a little longer than five minutes." "Rain check?" "Sure." "I'll just put it next to the rest of the umbrellas you keep handing me." " Lois..." " I mean is it just me or is this relationship all interruptus and no coitus?" "You're always running off just when things start getting interesting." "And I like being interested." "A lot." "Yeah." "Yeah, I know, you're right." "This..." "It's not fair to you." "I think we should take a break." "You mean like...?" "What?" "See other people?" "Well, okay." "Yeah, I mean, if that's what you want." "I was thinking more along the lines of taking a vacation." "Together." " Really?" " Yeah." "Really." "No rushing out in the middle of the good stuff?" "No." "None." "It'll be you, me and Monte Carlo?" "There's just a few things that I do need to take care of before we go." "And I think once we get... oh, God, you're good at that." " I'll start packing." " Okay." "Bye." "I need to talk to you." "You alone?" "Just me and my shadow, Dad." "Lana's in Paris with Nell, shopping for a wedding dress." "It's good she's out of the country, considering what's happening." "Look, if this is about Dr. Caselli..." "Caselli?" "He's the least of our worries." "Another LuthorCorp facility has been hit." "That's six." "Each one of them has some connection with 33.1." "The only thing housed in those facilities was peripheral research." "All the vital data is still secure in the mainframe." "How long do you think before that is compromised?" "If it ever became public that LuthorCorp is experimenting on people with abilities..." "It won't." "What's this?" "A single frame pulled off a security camera from one of the break-ins." "Whoever's responsible has the ability to move faster than a speeding bullet." "Such a unique individual would make an interesting test subject to add to 33.1." "Don't you think?" "What do you plan to do?" "Protect our investment." "Come on, I'll walk you out." "Yeah, I got it." "Meet me at the rendezvous." "Hey, are we gonna do this?" "You're gonna lurk in the shadows all night?" "Just being careful." "After all I'm not as fast as you." "Clark." "I was just thinking about you." "You got a funny way of showing it." "I've left you half a dozen messages." "I'm sorry." "I've been preoccupied." "Helping that doctor from Belle Reve get out of jail?" "Clark, my involvement with Belle Reve is past history." "But it appears that you still have a very active interest in breaking into LuthorCorp." " Where was this taken?" " Mexico." "The LuthorCorp processing plant." "If you're going to continue playing games like this you should be more careful." "This isn't me." "No?" "Who is it then?" "God, Mrs. K, thank you so much." "This is so good." "Where do you put it all?" "You eat more than Clark and he's twice your size." "Yeah." "Well, you know, I burn a lot of calories." "Well, there's plenty more in the fridge." "I have to run to a meeting." "Would you mind cleaning up?" "Yeah, anything for you, Mrs. K." "It's nice to have you here, Bart. I hope you stay longer this time." "Hey, what's up, man?" "You just missed a killer spread." "You can cut the act." "I know about LuthorCorp and the break-ins by somebody who's as fast as me." "Yeah, faster, actually." "It's funny, I actually believed your story about how I changed your life." "Look, it's not a story, Clark." "Okay?" "Really, I'm not the same guy." "You stole from Lex before, you're stealing from him again." " What's the difference?" " It's..." "It's complicated." " I'm a smart guy." "Explain it to me." " I can't." "Why not?" "I thought we were amigos?" "Yeah, well, we are." "Then tell me why you're stealing from LuthorCorp." "I just..." "I can't." "I'll find out for myself then." "Look, I'm sorry I can't tell you all my secrets, Clark." "Okay, I thought a guy like you would understand it." " I know it's just a vacation, but..." " What?" "Vacation?" "No, vacation is Palm Springs." "Monte Carlo is a fairy tale." "Yeah, hopefully without Prince Charming having a disappearing act every five minutes." "I think you'll be keeping his full attention, Lois." "Yeah." "You know, I'd better." "It's not like I go Victoria's Secret for anybody." "What do you think?" " Should I have gone with the black?" " No." "Something tells me green is definitely his color." "Hey, Chloe..." "God, Smallville." "Learn how to knock." "What if I'd been naked?" "Lois is jetting off to Monte Carlo with oliver." "Oliver?" "Yeah, I'll send you a postcard if I'm not too busy." " No, Lois, you should..." " Get a couple new bikinis?" "Good idea." "Thanks, Smallville." "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to help oliver keep his secret from her." "That he's the Green Arrow?" "No offense, Clark, but you weren't honest with Lana about your secret either." "Look how that ended up." "Maybe all keeping secrets does sometimes is force you to lie to people you care about." "Are we still talking about oliver?" "The guy who saved you at the Planet?" "He didn't exactly get away." "It's Bart." "What?" "Wait a minute." " Bart can superspeed too?" " He's actually a lot faster than I am." "That's the truth." "I'm sorry I didn't tell you." "It's fine, you were protecting him." "It's okay." "If anyone gets it, it's me." "But why are you outing him now?" "He's headed for trouble and I need to find him." "Can you GPS his cell phone?" "Yeah, I can try." "Do you have his number?" "He broke into a LuthorCorp plant down in Mexico." "Now, I think Lex is on to him." "If he tries to break into another facility..." "No good." "His phone must be off." "What about call history?" "Can you pull up a record?" "Legally?" "Absolutely not." "There's over a dozen calls to that number in the last 24 hours." "Let's see who's on the other end." "Artemis Global Consortium?" "I've never heard of them." "It's a subsidiary of JL International which is a satellite company currently orbiting Queen Industries." "It's oliver." "He's using Bart to attack LuthorCorp." "I'm in." "Not so fast now, are you?" "Oliver." "Look, Clark, whatever's got your tightie-whities in a bunch, now's not the time." "Where's Bart?" "I saw his phone records." "I know he's working for you." "Not for me." "He's working with me." "There's a difference." "It's not gonna matter when he ends up in jail or worse." "You don't know what you're talking about." "I know how much you hate Lex." "Is that why you recruited Bart?" "To help with your little vendetta?" "No, to stop 33.1." "You know about 33.1?" "Why didn't you tell me what you were up to?" "Clark, do you check in with me every time you run off to save the world?" "That's right." "For a second there, I forgot." "You like to just wait for trouble to show up." "That's not true." "Then why haven't you done anything to stop 33.1?" "I was busy with another problem." "What could be more urgent than Lex Luthor developing an army of super freaks, Clark?" "That's what he's doing." "He's starting a war." "What have you found out?" "Not enough." "Last night, Bart infiltrated a place that was supposed to house the mainframe for 33.1." "That's the last time I heard from him." "So I reconned the target this morning, the place had been stripped clean." "Everything's gone." "The whole thing was a setup." "Lex has Bart." "We have to find him." "My team's already on it." "Your team?" "Not everybody flies solo, Kent." "Morning, sunshine." "I know you." "You've stolen from me before." "I want a lawyer." "And I want a ponytail." "Disappointment abounds." "Who do you work for?" "What you see is what you get, Goldilocks." "You're a low-level thief." "Swiping corporate data isn't your style." "Now, tell me who you're working for and this won't have to get unpleasant." "All right." "All right." "I work for a guy called Mr. Kiss My Butt." "Would you like me to introduce you?" "The floor of your cell has been outfitted with pressure plates designed to track movement." "Stop in one place for even a millisecond after I activate them and you fry." "Last chance." "Well, maybe you'll feel more talkative when you get tired of running." "AC, check the LuthorCorp manifests." "Gotcha." "How long you guys been working together?" "I joined up about six months ago." "Ollie and Bart had already been doing their thing." " What about your girlfriend, Katherine?" " Dude, don't even go there." "She gave it her best shot." "But with all this hardware in me..." "I'm sorry, Victor." "Ollie found me, I was living on the streets." "He gave me a warm meal, roof over my head and a reason to go on living." "Did he just say something nice about me?" "Maybe he's starting to rust." "AC, how'd you fall into all this?" "I got into a little trouble sinking a whaler off the coast of Japan." "A little trouble?" "That's what you're gonna go with?" "Ollie had to save your scaly butt from getting filleted." " I would've gotten out of it." " Really?" "Before or after they pack you into a thousand tin cans?" "Well, at least he would've been dolphin-safe." "Fish jokes." "That's all I ever get, are fish jokes." "So how's Lois doing, man?" "Is she all right?" "I think you'd have to ask your boss." "Now's not the time." "We need to focus on locating Bart." "And how exactly did you get him involved in this?" "He's never been much of a team player." "It looks like you two have something in common." "Actually, I was out on patrol in Star City one night and I came across Bart." "He was helping himself to a free meal." "I could tell he was a good kid." "You know, he just needed a little direction." "So I offered him a job." "Look where that got him." "I underestimated Lex." "It won't happen again." "I've compiled a list of all LuthorCorp holdings within a hundred-mile radius." "Bart could be held in any one of those facilities." "That's a lot of real estate to cover." "I think I know someone who can help us narrow it down." "Victor Stone and Arthur Curry are working for him too?" "Oliver's been busy." "Is there anything in your LuthorCorp intel that could help find out where Bart's being held?" "I don't know." "Wait." "When I had my feelers out for Dr. Caselli I managed to shake loose some internal documents." "In the last few days, there's been equipment transfers to the Ridge Facilities in Metropolis." "LuthorCorp moves equipment all the time." "This isn't a couple of forklifts." "Half a ton of lead shielding, electrical pressure plates more than $20 million of equipment to measure high velocity particles." "It's Bart. Take everything and bring it to oliver." "Me?" "Clark..." "I can get to the Ridge faster myself." "I can't let anything happen to Bart." "Mr. Queen, its Chloe Sullivan." "Clark sent me." " Where's Clark?" " He went to rescue Bart." "He told you about Bart?" "We trust each other." "Clark tells me everything." "Well, almost everything." "I did have to figure out about your green leather fetish on my lonesome." "Don't worry, I didn't say anything to Lois." "Although you might wanna consider..." "Hey, let's just stick to the main plot there, sidekick." " So, what do you got?" " Hopefully a solid lead on Bart." "Where are Victor and AC?" "I guess we're not that good at the whole secret part of this yet." "Yeah, but you're great at getting caught by the villain." "Anyway, I think Bart's being held at a place called the Ridge Facility." "That's down by the docks." "It's on our list of possible 33.1 targets." "All right, boys, you know the drill." "Let's gear up and get out." "Oh, no." "What now?" "Lead shielding." "This isn't just for Bart." "I think the Ridge Facility is being used to refine meteor rock." "Clark's in trouble." "Green Arrow to Watch Tower." "We're in position." "Okay." "There should be a security access panel near the east door." "According to the schematic, you need to carefully rewire the system..." "Or I could just jack in and shut the whole perimeter down." " You can do that?" " Queen Industries upgrade." "Accessing perimeter security." "Perimeter neutralized." "Aquaman, you're up." "Perimeter breached." "Proceeding to target." "You make one hell of a can opener." "And you'd look good on a bag of green beans." "All right, we're in." "Which way?" "The refinement vault's a hundred meters southwest." " Still no word from Clark." " Lf he's in there, we'll get him out." " Let's go." " You've got a different mission." " You're the boss, Robin Hood." " What mission?" "What are you doing?" "Watch Tower to Green Arrow, what's your status?" "Switching to Silent Running." "Stand by for instructions." "Aquaman, do your thing." "Hey." "You're not supposed to be here." "Neither am I." "All right." "Come on." " I'm all right." "Yeah." " You sure?" "Green Arrow to Watch Tower." "Boy Scout's out of the woods." "Boy Scout?" "If you hadn't ran off, you could've picked your own name." "You don't wanna play for the team, that's fine." "Be smart about it." "Point taken." " Where's Bart?" " Impulse." "He didn't get to pick his own code name either." "Watch Tower will guide you to where he's probably being held." "What are you gonna be doing?" "What I do best." "Watch Tower to Boy Scout, let's find Impulse." "Cyborg to Aquaman." "Where the hell are you, Fish Stick?" "Dude, what took you so long?" "Nice." "But please, put a shirt on." " I swim faster when I'm naked." " I bet you do." "You're lucky I still got my pants on." "Boy Scout's located Impulse." "Bart. You okay?" "I don't care." "I want a Level one lockdown." "No one gets in or out." "Little late for that." "You got 10 minutes to clear your people out of here before I blow this place off the map." " You." " You remember." " I'm touched." " Well, it's a little hard to forget." "Last time we met, you put an arrow in my chest." "You put a bullet in mine." "Bygones?" "Go to hell." "You first." "Can you superspeed?" "Yeah, I just..." "I need a minute to catch my breath." "You know what, you're gonna have to catch it later." "Aquaman, Cyborg." " Rendezvous Alpha, confirm." " We're on the move." "Watch Tower." "Have all of Luthor's people cleared the building?" "The last heat signatures are moving away from the north." "Wait a second." "What are you doing?" "What do you think?" "You want more of your friends in here?" "Yeah, I'm voting no on that one." "Watch Tower, are you sure everyone's out of the building?" "One hundred percent positive." "All right, let's do it." "All right, have the jet fueled and ready." "I wanna be in the air as soon as possible." "Hey." "I hope your bird's got some serious lift because this thing weighs a ton." "Aren't you packed yet?" "Where's your stuff?" "Lois..." "Don't even think about saying what I think you're gonna say." "I'm sorry." "I have to go away on business." "Postpone it." "It's not that simple." "Nothing with you ever is." "You're like two completely different people." "There's the charming, romantic guy that I fell in love with and then there's this other guy who can't stick around in one place long enough to see what he's missing." "Ever since my parents died I've jumped around from city to city, from continent to continent." "And in all those years not once have I regretted leaving anyone." "But then I met you." "Then stay." "I can't." "Because there are more important things in this world than what I want." "And what I love." "I hope someday I can explain why." "Don't expect me to be waiting around for that when you get back." "I'm not coming back, Lois." "At least not anytime soon." "I'm sorry." "I never wanted to hurt you." "Well, you finally got around to it anyway, didn't you?" "This is the moment, right?" "The moment that I'm gonna regret for the rest of my life, isn't it?" "Yes." "Bart Allen gone, he escaped." "A multimillion-dollar installation destroyed." "33.1, irrevocably compromised." "But at least you found out, son, that the, Jolly Green Archer and his extraordinary cohorts they're not your run-of-the-mill adversaries." "Which is exactly why we have to continue with 33.1." "If terrorists like Green Arrow are recruiting people with abilities the only way to protect freedom and democracy is to fight fire with fire." "Freedom and democracy?" "Well, well." "I hadn't realized your goals were quite so lofty." "Well, there's a lot that escapes your attention in your declining years, Dad." "But not mine." "The security footage from the Ridge Facility was destroyed." "However, several guards described one of Green Arrow's men as someone that sounded remarkably like Clark Kent." "Clark?" "Lmpossible." "A word that always seems to pop up when talking about him." "Lex, it was not Clark." "How can you be so sure?" "Because I was having dinner with him last night when all this happened." "Martha made pot roast with new potatoes and tiny little baby carrots." "It was delicious." "Clark..." "Clark had three helpings." "But don't worry, son." "You still have plenty of enemies out there, plotting your downfall." "Okay, thanks." "So the Daily Planet is running with the story that a gas explosion destroyed the vacant LuthorCorp building down by the docks." "Vacant?" "The Luthor cover-up machine is in full swing." "Well, at least we got Bart out before Lex ran him into an early grave." "Oh, come on." "No worries." "I had plenty of juice left." "Could've fooled me, the way you cleaned out Mama Kent's fridge." "Well, it's because I like to stay fueled up." "Just in case I need to spring into action." "I still have a boyfriend." "Yeah, well, a man can dream, can't he?" "Now you know why we call him lmpulse." "Impulse, Cyborg Aquaman, Green Arrow, what do you call your team?" "I don't know." "I've been thinking." "We need something cool." "We need something like..." "I was thinking about something with the word "justice" in it." "After all, that's what Lex is gonna get a big dose of." "Victor and AC were able to hack into the 33.1 mainframe before we blew the building." "That was your other mission." "Haven't met the computer yet I couldn't crack wide open." "What'd you guys find out?" "Lex isn't satisfied playing in his own backyard anymore." "LuthorCorp is starting up divisions of 33.1 all across the globe." "Wherever there's evidence of people with abilities there'll be laboratories to do experiments." "We can't let that happen." "We won't." "Gentleman, our first target is a large facility on the island of Corto Maltese." "You guys know the drill." "Wheels up in 30 minutes." "Get your gear." "You coming, amigo?" " Yeah, you gotta come with us, man." " We could use the big guns." "They're right, you know?" "You'd be a major asset to the team." "I wanna be a part of this, guys." "I really do." "But?" "That problem I told you about the one that I caused." "I have to take care of that first." "This isn't the end of the story, Clark." "This is just the beginning." "Chloe." "Come on, boys." "Let's go save the world." "You know, you have some pretty amazing friends, Clark Kent." "Yeah." "I do."
