1. Previously on Smallville:
Copy !req
2. - I think Lex has a piece of the spaceship.
- Are you sure?
Copy !req
3. Roger Nixon. I'm a journalist,
and I'd like to write a story about you.
Copy !req
4. - Whitney's going off to join the Marines.
- Really?
Copy !req
5. If you're gonna take me on, son...
Copy !req
6. you're gonna have to bring your game
up to a whole different level.
Copy !req
7. Just promise me Saturday night's
gonna be great.
Copy !req
8. It'll be a night you won't forget.
Copy !req
9. There's a whole lot more to your friend
Clark Kent than meets the eye.
Copy !req
10. You'd better pray you're not wrong.
Copy !req
11. You're not my enemy. You're my son.
Copy !req
12. I believe the term is, "Cry havoc
and let slip the dogs of war."
Copy !req
13. - Lana's there.
- Don't worry. I'm sure she's home by now.
Copy !req
14. I'll tell the entire world about your son!
Copy !req
15. Jonathan, look!
Copy !req
16. Damn it!
Copy !req
17. Help me!
Copy !req
18. But he knows everything!
Copy !req
19. - I will not let him destroy this family.
- No! Please!
Copy !req
20. Jonathan!
Copy !req
21. Clark!
Copy !req
22. No!
Copy !req
23. And now, the season premiere of Smallville.
Copy !req
24. Lex!
Copy !req
25. I'm your father!
Copy !req
26. Son!
Copy !req
27. Dad!
Copy !req
28. Dad! No!
Copy !req
29. Nixon!
Copy !req
30. - Give me the camera!
- Get the hell away from me!
Copy !req
31. Lana?
Copy !req
32. Lana.
Copy !req
33. I need help!
Copy !req
34. I need a doctor here!
Copy !req
35. - I need help. Now.
- What have we got?
Copy !req
36. Pupils are responsive.
Copy !req
37. Respiration appears normal.
Copy !req
38. Got a good pulse.
Copy !req
39. She's gonna be all right.
Can you tell me her name?
Copy !req
40. Mom! Dad!
Copy !req
41. Mom? Mom! Mom!
Copy !req
42. - I'm gonna get you to a hospital.
- No, Clark, listen to me.
Copy !req
43. - That reporter was in the cellar.
- Nixon?
Copy !req
44. He videotaped the ship.
He's gonna expose your secret.
Copy !req
45. - Your father chased him out into the storm.
- I've gotta find them.
Copy !req
46. Mom? Where's the ship?
Copy !req
47. There's swelling in his vertebrae, resulting
in partial loss of nerve control in his legs.
Copy !req
48. His spleen is ruptured...
Copy !req
49. and he's sustained severe trauma
to his optic nerve.
Copy !req
50. I want a medevac to Metropolis General.
I want a team of specialists.
Copy !req
51. Your father's critical.
Moving him is not an option.
Copy !req
52. - This isn't just any patient.
- I know who Lionel Luthor is.
Copy !req
53. - I cannot give him any special treatment.
- That's not what I meant.
Copy !req
54. He's my father.
Do everything you can for him.
Copy !req
55. Lex.
Copy !req
56. Lex.
Copy !req
57. Yeah, Dad, I'm here.
Copy !req
58. Don't worry.
Copy !req
59. I'll fly in specialists from Metropolis
to personally supervise your case.
Copy !req
60. I saw it...
Copy !req
61. in your eyes, son...
Copy !req
62. what you were thinking.
Copy !req
63. Life would be so easy...
Copy !req
64. if I was out of your way.
Copy !req
65. Dad, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
66. Dad!
Copy !req
67. - Dad!
- He hasn't been back to the house!
Copy !req
68. Did you call the sheriff?
The hospital?
Copy !req
69. - The phones are down.
- Dad grew up in tornado country.
Copy !req
70. - The first thing he'd do is take shelter.
- I don't know if he was thinking straight.
Copy !req
71. I've never seen your father that angry.
Copy !req
72. He said he wasn't gonna let Nixon
destroy our family.
Copy !req
73. Do you think he...?
Copy !req
74. No, he would never do that.
Copy !req
75. Oh, no! I won't say anything
about your son, I swear to God!
Copy !req
76. Please! Don't kill me!
Copy !req
77. Oh, God.
Copy !req
78. - Oh, God. I thought you were gonna kill me.
- Yeah, you would think that.
Copy !req
79. - Hey, Dorothy, back from Oz?
- Chloe.
Copy !req
80. What are you doing?
Shouldn't you be in bed?
Copy !req
81. I'm okay. The doctor says
it's just a mild concussion.
Copy !req
82. Besides, a lot of people need this bed
a lot more than I do.
Copy !req
83. Well, I'm just glad you're okay.
What happened?
Copy !req
84. Well, I was driving back after dropping
Whitney off, when the wind picked up.
Copy !req
85. This mailbox slammed against
my windshield, and I went off the road.
Copy !req
86. That's when I saw the twisters.
Copy !req
87. - Before I knew it, the truck was sucked up.
- God.
Copy !req
88. You walked away with a small bump. That's
amazing, even by Smallville standards.
Copy !req
89. - No, it's impossible.
- What?
Copy !req
90. Nothing. The next thing I knew,
I was waking up here.
Copy !req
91. So you clicked your heels, said, "There's
no place like home," and ended up here.
Copy !req
92. Apparently Clark brought me in.
Copy !req
93. - Clark?
- Yeah, have you seen him?
Copy !req
94. No, not since he vanished from the dance.
I spent three hours looking for him.
Copy !req
95. Guess the Spring Formal was
kind of a bust, huh?
Copy !req
96. Yeah, well, at least now I know
where he disappeared to.
Copy !req
97. If it's any consolation,
you guys looked great together.
Copy !req
98. It's not, but thanks.
Copy !req
99. Dad?
Copy !req
100. Clark, I ran into your mother at the
hospital. She told me about your dad.
Copy !req
101. I checked every acre of this place,
I gotta head for the woods.
Copy !req
102. Clark.
Copy !req
103. My father was injured in the twister.
He's in pretty bad shape.
Copy !req
104. - Lex, I'm sorry. Is there anything I can do?
- It's in the doctor's hands now.
Copy !req
105. During the storm, my father was trapped
beneath a column.
Copy !req
106. If I hadn't pulled him out,
he would've died.
Copy !req
107. Before I did, I hesitated.
Copy !req
108. I was thinking that maybe my life would
be better off if I just left him to die.
Copy !req
109. - You saved him, that's the important part.
- No.
Copy !req
110. My father won't see it that way.
Forgiveness is not in his emotional lexicon.
Copy !req
111. If anything, he'll probably see
my saving him as a sign of weakness.
Copy !req
112. What are you gonna do?
Copy !req
113. Help my friend find his dad.
Copy !req
114. You got another flashlight?
Copy !req
115. - Dad!
- Mr. Kent!
Copy !req
116. Mr. Kent!
Copy !req
117. Dad!
Copy !req
118. - Do you know whose car that is?
- No.
Copy !req
119. I think we can cover more ground
if we split up.
Copy !req
120. Yeah.
Copy !req
121. - I'll meet you back here in a half-hour.
- Okay.
Copy !req
122. Great.
Copy !req
123. What are you doing?
Copy !req
124. Looking for my cell phone.
Copy !req
125. It's our only hope.
Copy !req
126. The greatest story in human history, and
I'm not gonna get a chance to write it.
Copy !req
127. Clark is not a story, he's my son.
Copy !req
128. And I'm not gonna let you sabotage
his life while you make yourself famous.
Copy !req
129. Is that why you chased me?
What were you planning on doing, Kent?
Copy !req
130. Were you gonna bludgeon me
and bury me in a shallow grave?
Copy !req
131. You were trespassing on my property,
and you tried to kill my son in that truck.
Copy !req
132. You have the most amazing being on Earth
doing chores on your farm.
Copy !req
133. Why are you hiding him? Tell the world
and let them see for themselves.
Copy !req
134. I think I should leave that up to him
for when he's older.
Copy !req
135. Well, when do you suppose that'll be?
Draft age? Drinking age?
Copy !req
136. When he's ready.
Copy !req
137. Why don't you stop playing the protector
and admit the truth.
Copy !req
138. You kept him because you couldn't
have children of your own.
Copy !req
139. We kept him because he is our son
and we love him.
Copy !req
140. He's not your son, you deluded hick!
Copy !req
141. He's not even human.
Copy !req
142. You can kill me for saying this,
but you know I'm right.
Copy !req
143. You're just a small man whose son's
destiny is too big for you to comprehend.
Copy !req
144. Clark doesn't belong to you.
He belongs to the world.
Copy !req
145. Hello? Lex?
Copy !req
146. Nixon? Where the hell are you?
Copy !req
147. You stupid son of a bitch!
I thought you wanted to get out of here!
Copy !req
148. I did want out of here, till I realized
you were in bed with Lex Luthor.
Copy !req
149. And I would rather rot down here than
watch the two of you destroy my son's life!
Copy !req
150. Nixon, you still there?
Copy !req
151. Just calling the fire department
so we can get a rescue team out here.
Copy !req
152. No, you weren't.
I heard you trying to talk to Roger Nixon.
Copy !req
153. He was at the farm today.
He was with my dad when the tornado hit.
Copy !req
154. Clark, I didn't know Nixon was involved.
Copy !req
155. Why should I believe you?
You already lied about knowing him once.
Copy !req
156. That's the second time you've
hesitated today.
Copy !req
157. Maybe what my dad said about you
is true.
Copy !req
158. Clark, wait.
Copy !req
159. - You're tired and upset.
- Don't try to turn this around on me!
Copy !req
160. Are you really here to find my dad,
or to find Nixon?
Copy !req
161. - Do you even have to ask?
- I don't have time for this.
Copy !req
162. - I've gotta find my dad.
- Clark!
Copy !req
163. Dad!
Copy !req
164. I'll talk to the Red Cross people...
Copy !req
165. see if they have any new information
about your father.
Copy !req
166. Clark.
Copy !req
167. - Any luck?
- We looked all night.
Copy !req
168. The search-and-rescue team
combed the farm but didn't find anything.
Copy !req
169. I don't know what to do,
he's been missing for over 12 hours.
Copy !req
170. You'll find him, Clark. I know it.
Copy !req
171. Thanks.
Copy !req
172. - I thought you'd be home recuperating.
- I wanted to help.
Copy !req
173. You know, a lot of people helped me out
after the meteor shower. Meant a lot.
Copy !req
174. I'm just glad you're okay.
Copy !req
175. So how did you find me?
Copy !req
176. I was lucky, I guess.
You were in a field next to the road.
Copy !req
177. You must have been thrown free
from the truck.
Copy !req
178. Is that really what happened?
Copy !req
179. Yeah.
Copy !req
180. Why?
Copy !req
181. I just keep seeing something
that doesn't make any sense.
Copy !req
182. The truck was caught up in the tornado,
and you...
Copy !req
183. You just...
Copy !req
184. Clark.
Copy !req
185. No new word.
Copy !req
186. I'd better get back to work.
You'll find him.
Copy !req
187. I'm gonna stay and work the phones. If
anybody's seen or found him, they'll call in.
Copy !req
188. They discovered an old couple
trapped in their garage this morning.
Copy !req
189. So there's still hope.
Copy !req
190. Dad's missing because of me.
I brought this upon us.
Copy !req
191. You can't blame yourself.
You can't change who you are.
Copy !req
192. As long as you live,
people will try to exploit you.
Copy !req
193. Your father and I have tried to shelter you
as long as possible...
Copy !req
194. but one day we won't be there for you.
Copy !req
195. You'll have to carry the burden
of your gifts on your own.
Copy !req
196. - Don't say that, Mom.
- When your day comes...
Copy !req
197. I have no doubt in my heart
that you'll make us proud.
Copy !req
198. Now go back out there.
Copy !req
199. These old foundations, they mix lead in
with the cement for stability.
Copy !req
200. - Afraid we're gonna die of lead poisoning?
- Clark can't see through lead.
Copy !req
201. He can see through solid objects?
Copy !req
202. Unbelievable. What else can he do?
Copy !req
203. Do you have any idea
what I'd do with his abilities?
Copy !req
204. The wealth, the power he
could amass, it's unimaginable.
Copy !req
205. You are exactly the reason why
I keep his abilities a secret.
Copy !req
206. If it wasn't me,
it would've been someone else.
Copy !req
207. It was just a matter of time
before the story got out.
Copy !req
208. - Yeah.
- The people have a right to know.
Copy !req
209. Without any regard to the consequences
to my son.
Copy !req
210. Mr. Kent...
Copy !req
211. since the beginning of time, people have
been looking at the stars, and wondering:
Copy !req
212. "What's out there?"
Copy !req
213. Clark is the answer
that they have been waiting for.
Copy !req
214. - I think I know a way out of here.
- You gonna tell me what that is?
Copy !req
215. You give me the tape of the ship,
and I will.
Copy !req
216. That's not gonna happen.
Copy !req
217. It's your life or your story.
Copy !req
218. You've gotta decide which is
more important to you.
Copy !req
219. I have.
Copy !req
220. You gonna share your plan with me?
Copy !req
221. Feel that. Go on.
Copy !req
222. - The mortar's weaker here.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
223. If we can get through here, I'm sure that
we can tunnel up to the surface.
Copy !req
224. - Clark.
- What do you want?
Copy !req
225. I should have come out
and told you the truth right away.
Copy !req
226. I do know Roger Nixon.
I was just trying to protect you.
Copy !req
227. Protect me from what?
Copy !req
228. Before the tornado,
Nixon approached me.
Copy !req
229. He offered to sell me information
about your family.
Copy !req
230. - What kind of information?
- It doesn't matter. He's a liar.
Copy !req
231. He'll do anything for a story.
Copy !req
232. I warned him to stay away
from your family. When I saw his car, I...
Copy !req
233. I realized he might have had something
to do with your father's disappearance.
Copy !req
234. Why didn't you tell me before?
Copy !req
235. I didn't want to alarm you
unless I knew for sure.
Copy !req
236. You know, Lex, I don't know what
to believe anymore.
Copy !req
237. Believe that I'm your friend.
Copy !req
238. I've got something to show you.
Copy !req
239. - What's that?
- It's a map.
Copy !req
240. A cellular frequency grid, to be exact.
Copy !req
241. I had my people look into it.
Copy !req
242. Only one cell tower survived the storm,
meaning Nixon, and possibly your father...
Copy !req
243. had to be within a one-mile radius of
where we were last night.
Copy !req
244. I don't know if it will help,
but it's worth a shot.
Copy !req
245. - Mr. Kent!
- Dad!
Copy !req
246. - Well, this is the edge of the grid.
- There are no structures marked on the map.
Copy !req
247. Sorry, Clark.
Copy !req
248. Wait, what's that?
Copy !req
249. The twister must have dropped it here.
Copy !req
250. - He's not in here.
- What are you, part bloodhound?
Copy !req
251. Yeah. How do you know? Mr. Kent!
Copy !req
252. Dad!
Copy !req
253. Mr. Kent!
Copy !req
254. - Did you hear that?
- It's the kids. Chloe! Pete!
Copy !req
255. - Help!
- We're down here!
Copy !req
256. They can't hear us! They can't.
I gotta keep on digging. Go!
Copy !req
257. Roger, take it easy! It's not stable
down here.
Copy !req
258. I got your legs!
Copy !req
259. Hang on!
Copy !req
260. Did you hear something?
Copy !req
261. Come on, let's start again.
Copy !req
262. - Mr. Kent?
- Dad!
Copy !req
263. Here we see a terrifying example
of the tornado's fury.
Copy !req
264. This truck was literally ripped apart.
Copy !req
265. Incredibly, the young driver, Lana Lang,
survived.
Copy !req
266. Reminding us that, even in the midst
of utter devastation, miracles can happen.
Copy !req
267. It must have been awful for you.
Copy !req
268. Yeah. I don't think I've ever been
that scared in my entire life.
Copy !req
269. I'm glad you're all right.
Copy !req
270. Thanks for all your help, Mrs. Kent.
Copy !req
271. - I know it must be hard for you right now.
- I'm a saint.
Copy !req
272. I just can't believe how familiar
all this feels.
Copy !req
273. - The meteor shower?
- Yeah. God.
Copy !req
274. - I remember it like it was yesterday.
- Yeah, me too.
Copy !req
275. Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to dredge up bad memories.
Copy !req
276. It's okay. For so long it seemed
to define me.
Copy !req
277. That fairy princess picture
on Time magazine.
Copy !req
278. Well, if it makes you feel any better,
you made one wish come true that day.
Copy !req
279. Jonathan and I were in Nell's buying
flowers, right before the meteor shower...
Copy !req
280. and you were sitting on the counter
with your wings and wand...
Copy !req
281. and you asked me if I wanted
to make a wish, so I did.
Copy !req
282. And not long after that,
Clark came into our lives.
Copy !req
283. I've never even told Clark that story.
Copy !req
284. Clark is so lucky to have you and Mr. Kent
as parents.
Copy !req
285. I've always been kind of envious.
You seem so open.
Copy !req
286. I'm glad that you and Clark
have become close.
Copy !req
287. Yeah. Me too.
Copy !req
288. - Mr. Kent!
- Mr. Kent?
Copy !req
289. Mr. Kent!
Copy !req
290. Chloe?
Copy !req
291. I've been wanting to apologize
for leaving you at the formal.
Copy !req
292. Didn't I tell you that leaving in the
middle of a tornado to save a friend...
Copy !req
293. totally gets you off the hook?
Copy !req
294. - Besides, I know you'd do the same for me.
- Oh, in a heartbeat.
Copy !req
295. So how can I make it up to you?
Copy !req
296. Actually, you know, I've been thinking.
Copy !req
297. It's funny how a natural disaster
puts your life in perspective.
Copy !req
298. But I think it might be better
if we just stay really good friends.
Copy !req
299. Anything other than that
just gets too complicated.
Copy !req
300. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's a good idea.
Copy !req
301. - You do?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
302. Yeah, our friendship is so important to me,
the last thing I want to do is screw it up.
Copy !req
303. Good. Great. Perfect. I'm really glad
we got that straightened out.
Copy !req
304. I'm gonna check over here.
Copy !req
305. Okay, I'll catch up in a sec.
My feet are throbbing.
Copy !req
306. Mr. Kent!
Copy !req
307. - Hey.
- Hey.
Copy !req
308. - What's up with the fake smile?
- Nothing.
Copy !req
309. Clark and I just reaffirmed
that we're really good friends.
Copy !req
310. And nothing else.
Copy !req
311. - Pulled the "friends" card on you, huh?
- No, I did.
Copy !req
312. Defense mechanism.
Copy !req
313. Listen, Chloe...
Copy !req
314. it's okay to feel bummed out.
Copy !req
315. Last night was supposed to be special...
Copy !req
316. and it got ruined.
Copy !req
317. It was just so close to being perfect.
Copy !req
318. Listen to me, I sound so pathetic.
A tornado hit, people are in real trouble...
Copy !req
319. and I'm upset because Clark
didn't fulfill my wish-fulfillment fantasy.
Copy !req
320. You must think I'm an awful person.
Copy !req
321. Yeah, you're a real monster.
Copy !req
322. Come on.
Copy !req
323. I can't breathe.
Copy !req
324. The cave-in must have cut off
the air supply.
Copy !req
325. Dying in a tomb, that's ironic.
Copy !req
326. At least you've got a legacy
to leave behind.
Copy !req
327. That's something to be proud of.
Copy !req
328. First time Clark used his abilities...
Copy !req
329. he'd crawled under...
Copy !req
330. a big oak bed that my grandfather
had made, and I...
Copy !req
331. I crawled underneath to try and get
him out, and then, all of a sudden, the...
Copy !req
332. The frame just came up in the air.
Copy !req
333. He was a toddler lifting, I don't know what
it was, 500 pounds over his head.
Copy !req
334. What did you do?
Copy !req
335. We decided to take him to a doctor
or a scientist.
Copy !req
336. Somebody more equipped...
Copy !req
337. to understand than we were.
Copy !req
338. But when we got in front of the office,
Martha said that if we left him there...
Copy !req
339. that they would want to keep him,
and we'd never see him again.
Copy !req
340. So I took him home.
Copy !req
341. Now, that may have been a mistake.
Copy !req
342. But it was a mistake
I'd gladly make again.
Copy !req
343. Time is of the essence.
Copy !req
344. The spine may heal, but the optic nerve
will get worse if it goes untreated.
Copy !req
345. - So surgery's the only option.
- No, I recommend against this.
Copy !req
346. I say, let the patient's condition stabilize
before surgery is attempted.
Copy !req
347. Yes, surgery's risky, but the alternative
could be worse.
Copy !req
348. It's your decision.
Copy !req
349. Do it.
Copy !req
350. Fine.
Copy !req
351. Where'd you get these maps?
Copy !req
352. My mom borrowed them
from the county planner's office.
Copy !req
353. They list every zoning change
going back to 1920.
Copy !req
354. Look, the plans from 1988 show
an old church near Hobson's Pond.
Copy !req
355. - I've never seen a church there.
- It was destroyed in the meteor shower.
Copy !req
356. According to this,
there's a crypt in the basement.
Copy !req
357. Your dad could have known about it.
Copy !req
358. I was right there. The motor home must
have been concealing the entrance.
Copy !req
359. Clark! You can't dig him out
on your own.
Copy !req
360. Clark, Pete and I'll go into town. We'll get
a rescue team and meet you out there.
Copy !req
361. Okay!
Copy !req
362. - Dad!
- Clark!
Copy !req
363. - Dad!
- Clark.
Copy !req
364. Kent, what's happening to him?
Copy !req
365. You gotta get him away
from the meteor rocks.
Copy !req
366. They make him sick.
Copy !req
367. Come on, get him out of here!
Copy !req
368. What are you doing?
Copy !req
369. I don't need the tape. I got all
the evidence I need right here.
Copy !req
370. What are you doing?
Copy !req
371. Nixon! You don't understand!
Copy !req
372. The rocks...
Copy !req
373. Clark...
Copy !req
374. Oh, son of a...
Copy !req
375. You're not...
Copy !req
376. taking my son!
Copy !req
377. Like I said, the people have
a right to know.
Copy !req
378. And unlike you, Mr. Kent...
Copy !req
379. I am willing to kill
for what I believe in.
Copy !req
380. Clark.
Copy !req
381. - Mr. Kent, are you okay?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
382. Son.
Copy !req
383. You've gotta help me.
Copy !req
384. Clark, are you okay?
Copy !req
385. I'll survive.
Copy !req
386. Your dad's got a cracked rib,
but he'll be all right.
Copy !req
387. Well, like you said, he's a survivor.
Copy !req
388. And so are you. I never realized
how strong you were until today.
Copy !req
389. Thanks, Clark, but I was terrified.
Copy !req
390. You didn't show it.
You were like super mom.
Copy !req
391. Dad, how you feeling?
Copy !req
392. Thank you.
Copy !req
393. Kind of like a house fell on me.
That's how I feel.
Copy !req
394. - Dad, I'm glad that you didn't, you know...
- What, kill Nixon?
Copy !req
395. I have to admit, it was the hardest thing I
ever did, took every fiber of my being.
Copy !req
396. But I started thinking about you and what
your Mom and I've tried to teach you.
Copy !req
397. I realized if I had done that,
Nixon would have won.
Copy !req
398. It's a good thing Lex was there.
Copy !req
399. Clark.
Copy !req
400. Nixon told me that Lex offered
to pay him for information on us.
Copy !req
401. Lex told me he warned Nixon
to stay away.
Copy !req
402. One of them is lying, son.
Copy !req
403. The question you need to ask yourself is,
which one tried to kill you...
Copy !req
404. and which one saved your life?
Copy !req
405. If I have any more questions,
I'll give you a call.
Copy !req
406. - Thanks. Mr. Kent.
- Lex.
Copy !req
407. - Look...
- Lex...
Copy !req
408. You saved my life,
and I want to say thank you.
Copy !req
409. To a fresh start.
Copy !req
410. Yeah.
Copy !req
411. Clark.
Copy !req
412. Your mom told me what happened
with you and Lana in the tornado.
Copy !req
413. The only person who was there,
and I can't even share it with her.
Copy !req
414. Well, son, I'm here, you can share it
with me if you want.
Copy !req
415. Dad, I've survived a lot.
Copy !req
416. Being inside that twister...
Copy !req
417. I've never been so scared in my life.
Copy !req
418. I couldn't see anything. Things were
bouncing off me. I didn't have any control.
Copy !req
419. It could've been the wind,
but I moved toward the truck...
Copy !req
420. and it felt like I was willing myself
to do it.
Copy !req
421. It felt like I was flying.
Copy !req
422. Lex.
Copy !req
423. Lex.
Copy !req
424. Dad?
Copy !req
425. Dad.
Copy !req
426. How are you?
Copy !req
427. The doctors won't tell me
what's going on.
Copy !req
428. I know. I wanted to tell you myself.
Copy !req
429. There's every chance
I'm gonna get back...
Copy !req
430. the full use of my legs.
Copy !req
431. Well, that's great news. Isn't it?
Copy !req
432. I need to say something to you.
Copy !req
433. If I've acted ruthlessly...
Copy !req
434. it was because I knew my opponents
wouldn't hesitate to do the same.
Copy !req
435. I know you've always seen us
as opponents.
Copy !req
436. Lex, when I needed help...
Copy !req
437. you saved my life.
Copy !req
438. And I thank you, son.
Copy !req
439. Listen.
Copy !req
440. I know you agreed to go right ahead...
Copy !req
441. right away, to operate.
Copy !req
442. - I thought it best to take immediate action.
- I would have done the same thing.
Copy !req
443. And we both...
Copy !req
444. would have been wrong.
Copy !req
445. What are you saying?
Copy !req
446. I'm blind.
Copy !req
447. The operation failed.
Copy !req
448. And that's not going to change.
Copy !req
449. It would have been better
if you had not helped me.
Copy !req
450. If you'd let me...
Copy !req
451. die.
Copy !req
452. Lex?
Copy !req
453. Lex.
Copy !req
454. Lex.
Copy !req
455. What are you doing, Clark?
Copy !req
456. - Thinking.
- Looks like you're hiding.
Copy !req
457. I just can't wait for things
to get back to normal.
Copy !req
458. It won't.
Copy !req
459. Why do you say that?
Copy !req
460. Nell used to tell me that
after the meteor shower.
Copy !req
461. But these events change you.
Copy !req
462. Wipes out your illusions.
You discover things about yourself.
Copy !req
463. What'd you discover?
Copy !req
464. I've always had this sense
that I was going to die young.
Copy !req
465. Maybe because of my parents.
Felt guilty I'd survived.
Copy !req
466. When the tornado came,
I thought...
Copy !req
467. this was it, fate had finally found me.
Copy !req
468. Then I saw you in the truck...
Copy !req
469. and you put your arms around me and
told me everything was going to be okay.
Copy !req
470. I know, it sounds crazy.
Copy !req
471. But I started to think of all the other
times you've been there to protect me.
Copy !req
472. I thought, "Maybe there's more
to Clark Kent than meets the eye."
Copy !req
473. You're right. It does sound crazy.
Copy !req
474. There's nothing more to me
than what you see.
Copy !req
475. Clark.
Copy !req
476. You know you can tell me anything, right?
Copy !req
477. I know, Lana.
But I wasn't in that truck.
Copy !req
478. Then how did I survive?
It doesn't make any sense.
Copy !req
479. Maybe you just weren't meant
to die young.
Copy !req
480. Just remember:
Copy !req
481. You can't hide out here forever.
Copy !req
