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