"[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]" "BOY 1:" "Yeah." "Whoo!" "[CHLOE LAUGHS]" "Okay, so maybe bowling isn't my calling but it is one of the last doctor-approved exercises left." "Look, Lana, I love rolling gutter balls just as much as the next girl but I got to admit I expected something a little different for the bachelorette party." "BOY 2:" "Oh, nice." "I know I could've invited a bunch of girls and gone out in a limo for a night on the town." "But this is much more special." "Yeah, eating chili fries and knocking down pins?" "With my best friend, like we used to, one last time." "You're getting married, not moving to Antarctica." "I'm also having a baby." "And I feel these girls 'nights out will be a lot harder to come by." "I wouldn't be so sure." "But just in case, let's document the night." "Okay." "All right." "Ready?" "Yes." "Heh." "Cute." "[LAUGHS]" "[INDISTINCT CHATTER]" "CHLOE:" "Yay!" "One last picture of Lana Lang before she becomes Lana Luthor." "Wow, that's weird." "DANIEL:" "Excuse me." "I couldn't help but notice your form was perfect but your wrist is a little off." "Could I give you a pointer?" "Who's going to man the shoe fort?" "I could care less." "My shift's over anyways." "CHLOE:" "Okay." "All right." "Here." "Okay, you're gonna point the inside of your elbow straight down that lane." "I'll try, but don't sign me up for the pro bowling league just yet." "Oh, trust me." "I've got the magic touch." "All right." "Oh, my God." "I did it." "Wow, nice tip." "Last frame, you get to go again." "Cool." "Remember what I said." "LANA:" "Okay." "[LANA SHRIEKS, LAUGHS]" "DANIEL:" "All right." "Good job, Lana." "DANIEL:" "Why don't you give me your number and I'll share a few more tips." "I'm not sure that my fiancé would approve." "Oh." "Yeah." "Probably not." "Thank you." "Come on, Chloe." "How about one more picture?" "Why here?" "Bowling alleys always attract big crowds." "Okay, Tobias." "It's time to take them off." "Only for a second." "I know it hurts." "[GRUNTING]" "There's one right there." "[TIRES SCREECHING]" "DANIEL:" "Stay" "Hey." "Help!" "Hey!" "DANIEL:" "Help!" "[SCREECHING]" "[CHLOE GRUNTS]" "[GRUNTING]" "[PANTING]" "I can't believe there isn't even a skid mark." "Maybe there's a clue here." "Are you sure this guy was krypto-powered?" "There was one pin standing and then boom, it fell." "All by itself." "That would be a good reason to kidnap a bowling-alley employee." "Did Lana see the abduction?" "No." "With the wedding of the century coming up are you gonna be renting a tux next weekend or a DVD?" "Chloe, what possible reason would I have to watch them get married?" "Maybe because if you showed up it would send a message that you're actually moving on." "You know, to Lana, to Lex." "More importantly, to yourself." "So, what does this guy look like?" "Your bowling buddy?" "Uh, he's Asian, about 6 feet tall, with, um, an earring in his left ear." "You mean, like that guy?" "Hey, what are you doing?" "We're closed." "What happened to you last night?" "Oh, did" " Did you and me, did we--?" "Did we hook up?" "CHLOE:" "Uh, no." "You were thrown in the back of a van by men in black." "Damn." "I thought I drank a lot last night." "You sure you don't remember getting thrown in that van?" "I don't remember anything." "Figured I just blacked out." "It was Saturday night, I wasn't driving, so I cracked open a pint." "Next thing I know I'm waking up in bed like any other morning." "Is it me, or do I look like a waiter serving high tea?" "You look like the most handsome groom in the world." "Good answer." "[LEX SPEAKS IN ITALIAN]" "[MAN SPEAKS IN ITALIAN]" "About last night." "Why did Chloe go outside in the middle of your bachelorette party?" "She said she needed some air." "In the back alley?" "Why not go out front like everyone else?" "Lex, you seem a little obsessed with the details." "She's your maid of honor and she almost got run over." "Lana, I wouldn't want anything to happen to her." "Neither would I." "I'll see you at dinner." "Dr. Bethany, do we have an appointment?" "The boy is growing impatient." "He keeps asking when the surgery is." "Well, tell him corneas don't grow on trees." "He's blind, Mr. Luthor, not stupid." "I'm afraid if we keep stalling, he'll start talking." "You warned me that a cornea transplant would likely take away his abilities." "If he tells anyone what we're doing, my career's as good as over." "I'm the one on the line here." "Think of your wife, doctor." "If we tracked these subjects a year ago she might never have been murdered." "Don't pretend that you care about crime, Mr. Luthor." "I know about your meteor-rock research." "I've been victimized by these people just like you have." "Tell Tobias to be patient." "Daniel may not be the only one." "A mother called 911 complaining her son disappeared in the middle of the night." "When he showed up in bed the next morning, safe and sound there was no case." "Son's name:" "Brian Osbourne." "Also on the wall of weird, suspected clairvoyant." "People with powers are being abducted." "And then released with a memory wipe that reaches back before the abduction." "What's happening to them on their big night out?" "I'm guessing not a pajama party." "And considering Lex's history with 33.1, I bet he's behind this." "That wouldn't be a shocker, but this is the only clue I have." "It's you and Lana having the time of your lives." "Be patient." "See, that's Tobias Rice." "He was blinded in the last meteor shower." "And he's pointing directly at Daniel." "Why would a blind person point at someone?" "TOBIAS:" "Come on in." "It's nice to hear a familiar voice." "CLARK:" "Sorry about what happened." "Hey, I got off lucky." "My parents, not so much." "Uh, can I get you guys something to drink?" "How about an iced tea?" "Don't make me drink alone." "Sure, I'll have a glass." "Thanks." "CHLOE:" "Tobias, you were at Smallville Lanes last night, weren't you?" "You sound surprised." "You were pointing at someone." "Someone named" "I hate to break it to you but in my condition I'm not doing too much pointing these days." "Hopefully that'll change." "I'm on this waiting list for a cornea transplant." "Here, let me help you with that." "TOBIAS:" "No, I can handle it." "[GRUNTING]" "I'm sorry." "The glass almost hit the ground." "Are you all right, Tobias?" "I'm fine." "When my glasses are off, I get these raging headaches from the light." "Please, just go." "[GLASS CLINKS]" "Call me crazy, but it was like he saw something." "That's what worries me." "BETHANY:" "I told you not to call me here." "This had better be important, Tobias." "TOBIAS:" "It is." "Dr. Bethany I found another one." "BETHANY:" "I'm at the hospital now." "We'll deal with this later." "CHLOE:" "Jimmy, o-okay, you win." "You can come over tonight." "But I'm warning you, I have a deadline." "Yeah, I like you a lot too." "Bye." "Hey." "Late-night nuptial emergency?" "This isn't about the wedding." "I was just wondering." "Did you really go outside for fresh air last night?" "Or was there another reason?" "All right, I admit it." "I was worried that he was another Lana Lang stalker." "But, listen, I got my bridesmaid's dress." "And you have amazing taste." "Why do I get the feeling that you're seriously side-stepping any discussion about that abduction?" "You think Lex had something to do with this, don't you?" "Let's just say, it wouldn't be a huge leap." "Considering Dan the Man has a meteor power." "It turns out that his bowling tips came with an added advantage." "Telekinesis." "And I think that's why he was abducted." "But you and I both know that just because someone has an ability doesn't make them a bad person." "Some of these people might use their powers to save people." "Okay, I don't know who you're talking about the meteor freaks that I've met aren't in line to win a Nobel Peace Prize." "These people don't advertise their abilities." "Whoever did this, how do they figure out who to abduct?" "A kid who went to Smallville High was blinded in the last meteor shower and now he has the ability to identify meteor freaks." "What's his name?" "WOMAN:" "Well, thank you, Dr. Bethany." "I'll get the results right back to you." "CLARK:" "Dr. Bethany?" "Yes." "Can I help you?" "I'm friends with Tobias Rice." "He called you today." "He's a patient of mine." "Tobias said, "I found another one."" "I'm not sure what that meant, but I'm worried about him." "Well, I'm glad that Tobias has such caring friends but anything said between my patients and myself is strictly confidential." "What about Daniel Kim?" "Is he a patient of yours?" "I've never heard of him." "WOMAN:" "Ah, Dr. Bethany, I have something for you to sign here." "BETHANY:" "All right." "Just a moment." "Oh, good, the requisitions." "Okay, just" " Just let me get my" "[GASPS]" "WOMAN:" "I'm so sorry." "I don't know what happened." "Where is it?" "Where's what?" "My computer." "You took it, didn't you?" "Chloe?" "Clark, please tell me you know where Chloe is." "She's not here?" "No, I can't find her." "To tell you the truth, I'm starting to freak out." "She's not answering her phone, she always answers." "Wait, calm down." "When was the last time you saw her?" "Uh...." "It was at the Planet this morning." "She's on a deadline." "She's supposed to be here working." "If she's under a deadline she's probably out researching her story." "On the downtown parking meters?" "I don't think so." "Look, I swear, Clark, if anything happens to her" "Jimmy, take this computer." "See if you can break into its files." "Chloe's the one with techno skills." "I'm the guy with a camera and a kidnapped- -girlfriend." "Where is Dr. Bethany?" "Clark?" "How'd you get in here?" "He's not at the hospital." "And he's not answering his pages." "Where is he?" "How am I supposed to know?" "He kidnapped Chloe." "He took my friend." "Now, where is he?" "Kidnapped?" "I don't understand." "Tobias." "Don't lie to me." "He said he was helping people." "He's not gonna help Chloe, Tobias." "She's a witness." "God knows what he'll do to her." "If he took her, it's not because she's a witness." "He's trying to lure me in." "You?" "Why would he want to do that?" "Why would he take Chloe?" "You...." "You guys are such close friends." "I thought you knew." "Knew what?" "She's meteor-infected, Clark." "BETHANY:" "Blood iron levels?" "MAN 1:" "225." "MAN 2:" "Copper, creatinine and chloride all high." "BETHANY:" "The clock is ticking." "Let's not waste time." "MAN 2:" "The erythrocyte and leucocyte counts confirmed." "BETHANY:" "Initializing full body scan." "[CHLOE GRUNTING]" "Scanning in progress." "MAN 2:" "Vertical A with X." "BETHANY:" "Prepare for DNA extraction." "[GRUNTING]" "Hello, beautiful." "How are the two of you doing?" "Oh, we're" " We're both doing just fine." "Lex, have you ever heard of Tobias Rice?" "No, why?" "Well, I ran into him in the bowling alley." "We went to school together." "He lost his vision in the meteor shower and now he has this ability to sense meteor-infected people." "That's intriguing." "But why do you think I'd know him?" "Because I know what kinds of things you're interested in." "And meteor powers are high on the list." "Maybe so but, in this case, I'm afraid I'm in the dark." "I've never heard of your friend." "Sorry." "[INDISTINCT CHATTER]" "Jimmy, any luck with the computer?" "I tried every trick I know, but I'm an amateur in the encryption game." "Look, what about the doctor?" "He's nowhere to be found." "What if she really is gone, Clark?" "I've never met anyone like Chloe Sullivan and I never will." "And you know what the most pathetic part is?" "Is that that I was so busy playing it cool that I never got to tell her how I really, truly feel." "CHLOE:" "Well, now's your chance." "Oh...." "Chloe." "You're back." "Jimmy, easy with the anaconda squeeze." "I'm sorry." "I can't believe you're standing here." "Why?" "I live upstairs." "CLARK:" "Chloe you were abducted last night." "Oh, my God." "You don't remember?" "The last thing I remember is going to sleep." "And then I woke up in my bed." "I don't understand." "Why did they take me?" "Because you're a witness." "They wanna shut you up." "If that was the case, they wouldn't have released me." "Maybe they just wanted to scare you." "Look, Chloe, I'm just glad that you're back." "All right?" "And we have Bethany's laptop and all the files are encrypted." "Maybe you can pull off a miracle." "If you've come here with complaints, they're gonna fall on deaf ears." "This has nothing to do with Tobias." "I don't know how else to say this except that, ah, sensitive information about our project has been misplaced." "[CHUCKLES]" "[SIGHS]" "Glasses are misplaced, car keys." "Not classified information." "I know." "It" " It seems that my laptop was somehow stolen." "On it are files that will not only..." "[BETHANY SIGHS] ...jeopardize our project but obliterate my medical career in the process." "Sounds like a real blunder, doctor." "For your sake, I hope it hasn't gotten into the wrong hands." "For both our sakes." "No." "I have nothing to do with you or your research, remember, doctor?" "That was our agreement." "I understand." "But it's more than likely that there is some mention of LuthorCorp." "Then you give me no choice." "What are you implying?" "I don't tolerate loose ends, doctor." "Bring me Tobias." "Unharmed." "[DOOR OPENS]" "[DOOR CLOSES]" "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" "Tobias." "It's Lana Lang, from Smallville High." "I haven't talked to this many Crows since graduation." "Come on in." "I know about your ability, Tobias." "I wouldn't call blindness an ability." "I know that you're identifying people." "People who are different." "But you have to stop." "Whoever's put you up to this is exploiting your powers." "I don't know what you're talking about." "I have money." "I can put you on a plane." "We can get you far away from here." "I'm not going anywhere." "I'm in line for a cornea transplant." "Okay." "Then, you can get the surgery somewhere else where there aren't any strings attached." "I'll make sure of it." "Why would you do that for me?" "Because you may be putting someone at risk who saves people's lives on, practically, a daily basis." "I can't let that happen." "Who told you about me?" "Clark Kent?" "Clark was here?" "You seem surprised." "Did you tell anyone about him?" "What's to tell?" "Tobias, it's okay, you can trust me." "I know that Clark's infected." "You must be talking about a different Clark Kent." "Because the Clark I know is the most normal guy I've ever met." "[THUNDER CRACKING]" "The files are barricaded." "But in every wall there's a door somewhere." "What's more impenetrable is the way you keep staring at me." "Do I have something on my face?" "No." "No." "I'm just relieved." "We were all really worried about you." "Nice try, Clark." "Cough it up." "Cough what up?" "You know the real reason why I was abducted, don't you?" "I'm some kind of meteor freak, aren't I?" "We don't know that, Chloe." "Well, maybe this will help demystify things for us." "We're in." "That's a map of Smallville." "With a GPS overlay." "Clark, I think Dr. Bethany is tracking meteor freaks." "Now the question is, why?" "Maybe he's trying to observe them in their own environment." "I just got off the phone with the Planet." "Daniel Kim was killed in a car accident outside Smallville Lanes 15 minutes ago." "Or someone tried to make it look like a car crash." "[KEYS CLICKING]" "CHLOE:" "There's a new red dot on the street outside the bowling alley." "That red dot must be Daniel Kim." "And a blinking green one just turned red in Granville." "Chloe, they're killing these people one by one." "There's a green dot in the Talon." "What's going on here?" "Chloe, are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "Um, I need you to go to the Smallville Lanes find out everything about Daniel's death." "I'll call you when I get there." "Okay, thanks." "Clark, I need you to x-ray me." "What?" "Clark, come on, we're both adults." "Now, just do it." "Okay." "Um...." "There, underneath your collarbone." "What is it?" "I don't know." "Please, Clark I don't wanna die." "Just get it out of me." "We have to get you to a hospital." "Clark, there's something inside of me." "I don't wanna go to the ER and wait for the doctors to figure out what it's gonna do to me." "How accurate's your heat vision?" "Chloe, don't even go there." "Is it pinpoint accurate?" "Chloe, I'm not gonna burn you." "Clark, Daniel Kim is dead." "Every single one of those green dots is turning red one by one." "I will not be the next red dot." "Fine, if you're not gonna do it, then I'll just do it myself." "Chloe, wait, wait." "Just hold on a second." "Do it." "All right." "Hold on to me." "You can't move." "[SOBBING] Okay." "[SCREAMS]" "All right." "[SCREAMS]" "I'm sorry." "Just get it out." "It's a GPS device." "That's all it is." "[CHLOE PANTING]" "And my green dot's gone red." "In high school, I assumed the only thing Lana Lang cared about..." "...was lip gloss and pom-poms." "You didn't know me very well." "Well, I'm sorry for ever thinking that." "BETHANY:" "Tobias." "Where are you going?" "[CHUCKLING] What's she doing here?" "He's coming with me." "Why would he do that?" "I have to take him to the medical center." "Tobias the time has finally come." "We're prepping you for surgery." "Just like I promised." "Let me get my jacket." "Tobias, you can get this surgery somewhere else." "It's okay, Lana." "[GASPS]" "Tobias." "What the heck did you do to my girl, Kent?" "Jimmy, there was a tracking device in me." "Clark had a pocket knife." "We improvised." "Improvised?" "Jimmy, it barely even stung." "[COMPUTER BEEPS]" "There's only one green dot left." "Off Highway 52." "Tobias." "BETHANY:" "Tobias?" "The powers that be want me to take you to them but if I do that, I'm a dead man." "So if anyone asks you just disappeared." "Please, don't hurt him." "Oh." "Don't worry." "This amount of voltage will stop the heart immediately." "He won't feel a thing." "And neither will you." "TOBIAS:" "But you will." "[GUN COCKS]" "I always thought my father had too many guns in the house." "And now I'm glad he did." "Tobias." "What good is a gun if you can't see?" "TOBIAS:" "But I can hear and the next one's going in your heart." "[BETHANY YELLS]" "Tobias, go." "Go now." "BETHANY:" "Don't move." "Drop it." "Put it down or I swear to God, I'll pull the trigger." "I think I'll take my chances." "[GUNSHOT]" "What happened?" "I'm not sure." "But we're safe now." "Are you okay?" "I think so." "I'll call the police." "[PHONE BEEPING]" "[SIRENS WAILING]" "[INDISTINCT CHATTER]" "MAN:" "Excuse me." "You have someone to assist you?" "I can." "Clark?" "Yeah." "The deputies told me what happened." "Are you okay?" "I should've known what was going on." "I wanted my sight back so badly I never questioned it." "It's okay." "It's all over now." "A friend of mine's gonna get you your operation." "You'll be safe." "Lana wanted to do the same thing for me." "Lana?" "Why?" "She had this crazy notion that you were infected by the meteors." "And she didn't want me to tell anybody else." "Really?" "What'd you tell her?" "The truth." "That you're the most normal guy I've ever met." "Your ride's here." "Thanks, Clark." "For everything." "Thank you." "LANA:" "Once again, fate intervenes and lives are miraculously saved." "Yeah." "Paramedic said he died of a heart attack." "It's bizarre." "What's really bizarre is this." "I fired the gun, but the bullet smashed into the cabinet behind me." "Must have ricocheted." "Off of something pretty powerful." "The important thing is that you're okay." "Where did Tobias go?" "Star City." "Oliver Queen is arranging for him to get his cornea transplant." "Lana Tobias told me what you were gonna do for me." "I'm not sure where you got this idea that I was meteor-infected but I appreciate you looking out for me." "It means a lot." "You know even if it were true, even if you were meteor-infected it wouldn't matter." "You'd still be the same Clark Kent." "MAN:" "Miss Lang?" "Are you ready to finish your statement?" "Lana." "Thank God you're all right." "What were you doing at that kid's house?" "I was trying to save him." "You should've come to me." "I didn't know it was gonna turn out that way." "Lex, that doctor, I saw you meeting with him." "Of course you did." "I was talking to Bethany about LuthorCorp's donation to the new trauma center." "So it's just a coincidence that he was here." "A sad one." "Who would've ever thought that a man whose job it is to save lives would do something like this?" "Lex, if you were involved in this you'd tell me, wouldn't you?" "Lana you're my bride-to-be." "The mother of my" "Tell me the truth, Lex." "On the soul of my unborn child I swear it's the truth." "You look dazed and confused." "Are you okay?" "I can't sleep." "I can't work." "I can't think about anything else." "You've been through a lot." "There's a reason they took me." "And we both know it's not because I was a witness." "Tobias didn't identify you, Clark, because you're not a meteor freak." "It was me." "Chloe, it must have been a mistake." "How do you know that?" "I've been exposed to more kryptonite than anyone else in this town." "It's not much of a stretch to think that I could've been infected along the way." "But you don't have any powers." "Do you?" "No, but that doesn't rule me out." "There's a percentage of the wall of weird that were latent." "They didn't exhibit powers until long after their exposure." "Okay." "All right, let's say it's true." "But who's to say you're ever gonna develop any powers at all?" "All I know is that every single meteor freak I've ever run into has ended up either dead or in Belle Reve." "Face it, Clark." "I'm a walking time bomb." "Well, then consider me your own personal bomb squad." "[BEEPS]" "Regarding our most recent subject keep a close eye on her."
