1. Lex...
Copy !req
2. I thought we had an arrangement.
Why this sudden urge for a face-to-face?
Copy !req
3. You don't look well.
Copy !req
4. Why did you pull me away from
my research? I hate progress reports.
Copy !req
5. I hear you're having
personnel problems at Cadmus Labs.
Copy !req
6. They quit when you turned violent,
started throwing equipment.
Copy !req
7. No. They were incompetent.
I thought our relationship was clear.
Copy !req
8. You write the checks,
I have free rein to do my work.
Copy !req
9. I hired you to research the meteor rocks.
Copy !req
10. Instead of results,
you provide potential lawsuits.
Copy !req
11. Frankly, doctor, you've become a liability.
Copy !req
12. Look, I'm afraid we've reached
the end of our road together.
Copy !req
13. Now that I'm running my own company,
I don't have time...
Copy !req
14. to pursue projects that don't bear fruit.
Copy !req
15. I suggest you see a doctor.
I'll take care of the expenses.
Copy !req
16. I don't need your doctor,
and I sure don't need your condescension.
Copy !req
17. It's you who needs me.
You're just a little too...
Copy !req
18. myopic to see it.
Copy !req
19. Hey, man. Are you all right?
Copy !req
20. Clark, you're dreaming if you think
you're gonna make a basket from there.
Copy !req
21. No, no, the ball rolled out here.
Copy !req
22. - Wanna play a game of horse?
- Forget it. We're borrowing your dad's truck.
Copy !req
23. - For what?
- I'll explain on the way. There's no time.
Copy !req
24. - What's going on?
- You gotta see it with your own eyes.
Copy !req
25. Pretty mind-blowing, huh?
Copy !req
26. What do you think it is?
Copy !req
27. Oh, Clark, it's a spaceship.
What the hell else would it be?
Copy !req
28. I didn't know if it was some downed
specialty aircraft or a Russian satellite.
Copy !req
29. No, no, no, this thing's got
extraterrestrial written all over it.
Copy !req
30. I bet there's little green guys
running around the cornfield too.
Copy !req
31. I'm serious, Clark.
Have you ever seen anything like it?
Copy !req
32. If aliens came, they'd find a place
more exciting than Smallville.
Copy !req
33. No, no, think about it.
Crop circles, cattle mutilation.
Copy !req
34. They'd be like kids in a candy store here.
Come on, man, let's load it into the truck.
Copy !req
35. - Wait, you're not just gonna take it.
- Clark.
Copy !req
36. When the sheriff questioned me, I told him
I couldn't remember where the truck...
Copy !req
37. went off the road, but it's only
a matter of time before he shows up.
Copy !req
38. Come on.
Copy !req
39. - Come on.
- All right, we'll take it to my house.
Copy !req
40. No, Clark. I know your dad.
Copy !req
41. - He'll make us give it to the authorities.
- He won't know it's there.
Copy !req
42. Clark, last time I checked,
I found this thing.
Copy !req
43. You're acting like you got license
and registration on it, man.
Copy !req
44. Lighten up. We're taking it to my place.
Copy !req
45. Right here.
Copy !req
46. Lex?
Copy !req
47. - Are you in here?
- Yeah, Dad, I'm right here.
Copy !req
48. I'm sorry, I wasn't expecting you.
Copy !req
49. No. Get out.
Copy !req
50. Is everything all right?
Copy !req
51. Doctors tell me
your recovery's going well.
Copy !req
52. Oh, it is. So well, in fact, that...
Copy !req
53. Dr. Rawlings suggested I...
Copy !req
54. take a break from the...
Copy !req
55. rigors of...
Copy !req
56. physical therapy. He...
Copy !req
57. He thought that some time away from the...
Copy !req
58. stress of living and working
in Metropolis would be more...
Copy !req
59. beneficial right now.
Copy !req
60. And of all the places
you could have gone...
Copy !req
61. you decided to come here?
- We'll have a chance for some...
Copy !req
62. father-son bonding. You've always told
me I've been lax in that department, Lex.
Copy !req
63. How long you planning to stay?
Copy !req
64. A few days. Maybe a week.
Copy !req
65. Are you sure you wouldn't be
more comfortable at the beach house?
Copy !req
66. I think the sea air would be invigorating.
Copy !req
67. I'm getting the distinct impression, Lex,
that you don't want me here.
Copy !req
68. No, Father, I just want what's best for you.
Copy !req
69. Stay as long as you like.
Copy !req
70. No.
Copy !req
71. Hey, Lana, I was just thinking...
Copy !req
72. if you moved those tables away from the
counter, it'd open up space for extra stools.
Copy !req
73. - More customers, more cash flow.
- That's a wonderful idea, Dean.
Copy !req
74. I gotta go.
Copy !req
75. - I'll see you tonight.
- Okay.
Copy !req
76. - Bye, Lana.
- Bye.
Copy !req
77. - Isn't he wonderful?
- Yeah. He's great.
Copy !req
78. - Hi.
- Hey.
Copy !req
79. - Hi, Chloe.
- Hi.
Copy !req
80. Oh, how did the sleepover go?
Did you two get a lot of studying done?
Copy !req
81. I have to be completely honest
with you, Nell.
Copy !req
82. We didn't study.
We had a Keanu DVD-a-thon.
Copy !req
83. Once you get lost in those brown eyes,
geometry loses its appeal.
Copy !req
84. Well, I'm just glad you two had fun.
Copy !req
85. Don't let the grades suffer.
Copy !req
86. - Okay. Bye.
- Bye.
Copy !req
87. Thank you so much, Chloe.
Copy !req
88. Sure. If you'd given me a heads-up...
Copy !req
89. I could've come up with something
a lot better than a Keanu DVD-a-thon.
Copy !req
90. Sorry, I had to get out of the house, so
I told Nell I was staying at a friend's place.
Copy !req
91. You were the first person
that came to mind.
Copy !req
92. - Really?
- Really.
Copy !req
93. So where were you last night?
Copy !req
94. Is there a new guy in Lana Lang's life?
Copy !req
95. Yeah. His name's Dean.
You passed him on the way in.
Copy !req
96. - You're dating an older man?
- Relax.
Copy !req
97. He's Nell's boyfriend. He's an insurance
adjuster she met after the tornado.
Copy !req
98. He's always around, and they're in this
lovey-dovey daze all the time.
Copy !req
99. Yeah, and you want to tell them
to get a room, but it's her house.
Copy !req
100. After I caught them slow dancing,
I decided to stay at the Talon.
Copy !req
101. Next time you need to clear out of the
love shack, you don't have to lie.
Copy !req
102. You can stay at my house for real, anytime.
Copy !req
103. Thanks.
Copy !req
104. - This thing weighs a ton.
- I know.
Copy !req
105. - I'm gonna go call Chloe.
- Wait, wait, don't.
Copy !req
106. Why not? To her, this thing's
like the Holy Grail.
Copy !req
107. - She'll write an article.
- That's the point. We'll be famous.
Copy !req
108. We'll write a book,
go on all sorts of talk shows...
Copy !req
109. and then we'll sign a big movie deal.
Copy !req
110. Don't you think we should keep this
between us till we know more?
Copy !req
111. Why are you gun-shy? We gotta
move before the driver tells someone else.
Copy !req
112. Suppose we tell Chloe and it turns out to be
some high-tech crop-duster or something.
Copy !req
113. She'll never let us live it down.
Copy !req
114. Exactly. We'd be the subject of her next
"Eat Crow" column for sure.
Copy !req
115. I don't know about you,
but I'm not willing to risk it.
Copy !req
116. Well, how do you think you open it?
Copy !req
117. I'm not sure. Here.
Copy !req
118. You work on that. I'm gonna go see if
anyone's put up "missing spaceship" flyers.
Copy !req
119. - I'll meet you back here tomorrow morning.
- All right, cool.
Copy !req
120. So where is it now?
Copy !req
121. - In Pete's tool shed.
- He hasn't told anyone about it?
Copy !req
122. I convinced him to hold off
the press conference.
Copy !req
123. Very funny.
We're just gonna have to get it back.
Copy !req
124. What are we gonna do, Dad, just steal it?
Copy !req
125. - What if he asks me where it went?
- You'll have to play dumb.
Copy !req
126. - I'm sick of lying.
- You don't have much of a choice here.
Copy !req
127. - Well, I can tell Pete the truth.
- Clark.
Copy !req
128. He's not gonna tell anyone.
Copy !req
129. Look, people slip sometimes,
even the most trustworthy of friends.
Copy !req
130. This information is too dangerous for Pete.
Copy !req
131. We understand that this secret
is a huge burden...
Copy !req
132. but if you share it with Pete...
Copy !req
133. you might be giving him
a responsibility he's not ready to take on.
Copy !req
134. I know this isn't the type of bizarre cellular
mutation I normally call you with...
Copy !req
135. but I knew you'd be interested.
- What's the room number?
Copy !req
136. You know, the interest
on my med-school loans is killing me.
Copy !req
137. - You really should have that looked at.
- What's the number?
Copy !req
138. Who are you?
Copy !req
139. Dr. Hamilton. How do you feel?
Copy !req
140. Like my head got bashed in by a bulldozer.
Copy !req
141. Dr. Glenn tells me you saw a spacecraft
in a cornfield last night?
Copy !req
142. Must have been babbling.
Copy !req
143. They got me pumped full of morphine.
Copy !req
144. Who else did you babble to?
Copy !req
145. - What's it to you?
- Let's say I have a professional interest.
Copy !req
146. I went to the field, I saw the impression in
the cornstalks. Whatever made it is gone.
Copy !req
147. Damn.
Copy !req
148. I knew I should have kept my mouth shut.
Copy !req
149. - Someone must have taken it.
- You did see a ship last night?
Copy !req
150. Who else knows about it?
Copy !req
151. No one.
Copy !req
152. Oh, the kid, the one who
pulled me out of my truck.
Copy !req
153. Pete Ross.
Copy !req
154. - Have we met before?
- I don't think so.
Copy !req
155. You were out on the road last night.
Copy !req
156. You're the crazy son of a bitch
who forced me off the road.
Copy !req
157. Nurse!
Copy !req
158. What are you doing?
Copy !req
159. Nurse!
Copy !req
160. I don't believe it.
Copy !req
161. Someone must have gotten here before us.
Copy !req
162. Well, we're not gonna find out
who it was tonight.
Copy !req
163. Pete.
Copy !req
164. - Hey, I was just gonna come talk to you.
- Really?
Copy !req
165. About the ship...
Copy !req
166. Someone broke into my shed
last night and stole it.
Copy !req
167. - Really?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
168. Did you tell anyone it was there?
Copy !req
169. No. Did you?
Copy !req
170. - No, my lips have been sealed.
- You're such a liar.
Copy !req
171. - What do you mean?
- I saw you and your dad driving away.
Copy !req
172. I kept telling myself, there's gotta be some
explanation. Clark Kent would never do this.
Copy !req
173. Pete, I swear, we didn't take the ship.
Copy !req
174. And all these years,
I used to think you were my best friend.
Copy !req
175. Pete, wait. You don't understand.
Copy !req
176. What don't I understand?
Go ahead, explain it to me, Clark.
Copy !req
177. That's good, really illuminating.
Copy !req
178. Wait till Chloe hears about this.
Copy !req
179. I can already see the headlines:
"The Real Clark Kent Exposed."
Copy !req
180. Pete, we need to talk.
Copy !req
181. So you're some sort of...?
What, you're not a human?
Copy !req
182. I don't know what I am.
Copy !req
183. I don't know where that ship brought
me from. I grew up in Smallville...
Copy !req
184. and everything and everyone
that I care about is here.
Copy !req
185. If you care about me,
how come you never told me?
Copy !req
186. Believe me, I've always wanted to tell you.
My parents thought it was too dangerous.
Copy !req
187. - Not just for me, but for anyone who knew.
- You didn't think I could handle it?
Copy !req
188. Can you?
Copy !req
189. Another reason I didn't say anything...
Copy !req
190. is because I knew people would
look at me the way you're looking at me.
Copy !req
191. - Yeah, how's that?
- Like a freak.
Copy !req
192. Pete, I've tried my whole life
just to blend in.
Copy !req
193. I've tried to be more normal
than anyone else.
Copy !req
194. Look, just say something.
Copy !req
195. Call me... Call me an alien, call me
a monster. I don't care, just say something.
Copy !req
196. It's like I don't even know you.
Copy !req
197. Yes, you do. I'm the same kid
who used to camp in your backyard.
Copy !req
198. We used to ride bikes, play basketball
with your brothers. Nothing has changed.
Copy !req
199. - Yeah, right.
- Pete.
Copy !req
200. Back off, man.
Copy !req
201. Pete, I would never hurt you.
Copy !req
202. Too late.
Copy !req
203. There it is. Right there.
Copy !req
204. Listen, I thought I made it clear
that our business together was over.
Copy !req
205. I've come for my severance package. The
octagonal disk that I found in the field, Lex.
Copy !req
206. - Why?
- What does it matter to you?
Copy !req
207. I don't have it.
It disappeared during the storm.
Copy !req
208. Liar! It's a key! I know you have it!
Copy !req
209. This isn't over.
Copy !req
210. - Mr. Luthor?
- Yes.
Copy !req
211. I'm Dr. Steven Hamilton.
Copy !req
212. I've been doing
confidential research on the...
Copy !req
213. meteor rocks for your son
at Cadmus Labs.
Copy !req
214. All right, you've got my attention.
Copy !req
215. Well, unfortunately, Lex has become...
Copy !req
216. shortsighted and impatient.
We've severed our relationship. But you...
Copy !req
217. You have a reputation as a...
Copy !req
218. - A man of vision.
- Apparently, doctor...
Copy !req
219. you haven't noticed that I'm blind.
Copy !req
220. A man like you doesn't have to have eyes
to see the future...
Copy !req
221. or to recognize a opportunity.
Copy !req
222. - Don't flatter me. Get to the point.
- I discovered something that...
Copy !req
223. can only be described as earth-shattering,
and I'd like to show it to you.
Copy !req
224. Come on.
Copy !req
225. Hey, Pete.
Copy !req
226. Look, I know you freaked out.
Copy !req
227. Don't you think
I freak myself out sometimes?
Copy !req
228. All right, look, you have every reason
in the world to hate me...
Copy !req
229. but I need to find that ship.
Copy !req
230. The guy you pulled out of the truck
must've told someone. I thought maybe...
Copy !req
231. The other day, when we were moving the
ship, you said it was heavy. You were lying.
Copy !req
232. You'd miss the bus and end up
at school ahead of me.
Copy !req
233. You said you got a ride,
but you never got rides, did you?
Copy !req
234. Our whole life, you were the person
I could tell anything...
Copy !req
235. and I did, all my secrets. But you,
everything you ever told me was a lie!
Copy !req
236. Maybe I was right in not telling you,
the way you're reacting.
Copy !req
237. Clark, you don't get it, do you?
I don't care if you're from the moon.
Copy !req
238. You never trusted me.
What kind of friendship is that?
Copy !req
239. Hey, guys. Why didn't you tell me
about the superhero deal?
Copy !req
240. Pete pulls a guy from a mangled truck
and rushes him to the hospital?
Copy !req
241. That's got Torch exclusive
written all over it.
Copy !req
242. So how about an interview?
Copy !req
243. Maybe later.
Copy !req
244. Your reluctance wouldn't be part of
a vast conspiracy...
Copy !req
245. designed to cover up a whole
spaceship thing, would it?
Copy !req
246. - What?
- My source from the medical center called.
Copy !req
247. He said the guy was rambling on about
some spacecraft that landed in a cornfield.
Copy !req
248. You don't really believe that, do you?
Copy !req
249. I don't know, not unless
Pete can corroborate the story.
Copy !req
250. Sure, Chloe, I saw a spaceship.
Copy !req
251. - I even met an alien.
- Really?
Copy !req
252. - Would you like to describe it?
- Actually, he looks a lot like Clark.
Copy !req
253. I thought aliens were little and green.
Copy !req
254. I guess things aren't always
what you think they are.
Copy !req
255. Okay, what's up with him?
Copy !req
256. It's just guy stuff.
Copy !req
257. You're not really looking into this story,
are you? It sounds like Inquisitor stuff.
Copy !req
258. Maybe, but if there is some truth to it,
that's front-page news...
Copy !req
259. for the Daily Planet.
Copy !req
260. - Lex?
- Your mom said it would be okay if I waited.
Copy !req
261. Yeah, what's up?
Copy !req
262. I just needed to get out of the mansion.
It's getting crowded.
Copy !req
263. - Doesn't it have, like, 75 rooms?
- Well, my father takes up a lot of space.
Copy !req
264. When's he going back to Metropolis?
Copy !req
265. Not soon enough.
Copy !req
266. Is he really being that difficult?
Copy !req
267. Just the opposite.
He's the picture of civility.
Copy !req
268. Says he wants to work on our relationship.
Copy !req
269. Is that such a bad thing?
Copy !req
270. He's lied to me so many times, it's hard to
believe he doesn't have an ulterior motive.
Copy !req
271. - Maybe give him the benefit of the doubt.
- No, no.
Copy !req
272. If a person's deceived me, I find it hard
to give him a second chance.
Copy !req
273. By the way, you remember that paperweight
I had on my desk, the octagonal one?
Copy !req
274. Kind of, why?
Copy !req
275. Came up today,
made me wonder what happened to it.
Copy !req
276. - When did you lose it?
- During the storm.
Copy !req
277. Probably got carried away with all the
other debris from the mansion. You know?
Copy !req
278. Yeah, I'm sure you're right.
Copy !req
279. Good luck.
Copy !req
280. Forgive my skepticism, doctor,
but for all I can tell, this could be...
Copy !req
281. a postmodern coffee table.
Copy !req
282. Why should I believe you
that it's a spacecraft?
Copy !req
283. The alloy you're touching is composed
of elements not on the periodic table.
Copy !req
284. Certain chemicals in that alloy
are present in the meteor rocks.
Copy !req
285. Get me the proof.
Copy !req
286. Here.
Copy !req
287. - Feel this?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
288. There's a piece missing.
Copy !req
289. Lex and I were investigating a meteor site,
and I found an octagonal-shaped disk...
Copy !req
290. that is the exact size and shape
of that impression.
Copy !req
291. - And you think it was...?
- It was a key...
Copy !req
292. that opens the ship and will provide
the proof you're asking for.
Copy !req
293. Unfortunately, Lex won't give it back to me.
Copy !req
294. - Maybe Lex doesn't have the disk anymore.
- Where else would it be?
Copy !req
295. If you can answer that question, doctor...
Copy !req
296. you just might get your funding.
Copy !req
297. Lana?
Copy !req
298. What are you doing?
Copy !req
299. Just using your telescope to see
if it's safe to go home.
Copy !req
300. Hiding from Nell.
Copy !req
301. Her new boyfriend, Dean.
Copy !req
302. Oh, you're not crazy about him.
Copy !req
303. Oh, long story short, not really. But I'm a
terrible liar, so I've moved on to avoidance.
Copy !req
304. Well, you've come to the right place.
Copy !req
305. What's wrong?
Copy !req
306. Have you ever had anyone resent you
for telling them the truth?
Copy !req
307. Yeah.
Copy !req
308. Whitney, when I told him how I felt
and we broke up.
Copy !req
309. Wow, you really did it. I didn't think
you'd follow through on that.
Copy !req
310. So do you think you'll ever be friends again?
Copy !req
311. Someday.
Copy !req
312. I hope. I just wish I'd been honest
with him sooner.
Copy !req
313. Yeah, Pete and I, we had a big blowout.
I don't know if our friendship is gonna last.
Copy !req
314. What did you guys fight about?
Copy !req
315. I wish I could tell you.
Copy !req
316. Typical.
Copy !req
317. What?
Copy !req
318. Clark Kent starts a discussion...
Copy !req
319. about telling the truth, no less...
Copy !req
320. and when it's his turn to open up,
everything is suddenly a deep, dark secret.
Copy !req
321. Well, the stuff about Pete
is kind of personal.
Copy !req
322. Unlike what I just told you about Whitney.
Copy !req
323. Have you ever thought that some people are
more comfortable opening up than others?
Copy !req
324. I don't think it's ever comfortable
for anyone.
Copy !req
325. But if you care about somebody,
you owe it to them.
Copy !req
326. Then you should talk to Nell,
tell her how you really feel.
Copy !req
327. You're right, Clark.
Copy !req
328. Hiding the truth only keeps people apart.
Copy !req
329. Hey, what do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
330. - There's a piece missing.
- You stole the spaceship?
Copy !req
331. It's octagonal in shape, the size of my palm.
Tell me where it is!
Copy !req
332. I know you. You're Dr. Hamilton.
Copy !req
333. You don't know
who you're messing with!
Copy !req
334. That spaceship belongs
to someone a lot tougher than you...
Copy !req
335. - You know who it belongs to.
- Look, I don't know anything.
Copy !req
336. Tell me. Tell me who it is!
Copy !req
337. I checked the papers, the police wires and
UFO sites. There's no mention of the ship.
Copy !req
338. I don't know if that makes me
relieved or worried.
Copy !req
339. I was thinking about Ray Wallace.
If Pete visited him before he died, maybe...
Copy !req
340. Maybe he told Pete something
that could help us.
Copy !req
341. I assume it's a possibility.
Copy !req
342. Clark, I want you to talk
to Pete one more time.
Copy !req
343. I can't.
Copy !req
344. Why?
Copy !req
345. Pete's not speaking to me.
Copy !req
346. What happened?
Copy !req
347. Look, I don't want you guys
to freak out, all right?
Copy !req
348. But I told Pete.
Copy !req
349. Everything.
Copy !req
350. - I didn't have a choice. He saw us...
- What do you mean?
Copy !req
351. - You could have come to us first.
- And come up with another lie?
Copy !req
352. Clark, at least tell us
Pete's not gonna tell anybody else.
Copy !req
353. I'm not sure what he's gonna do.
He's upset.
Copy !req
354. Hello.
Copy !req
355. No, he's not here.
Copy !req
356. Oh, no.
Okay, whatever we can do. Bye-bye.
Copy !req
357. That was Pete's mother.
He's missing.
Copy !req
358. This is a wonderful idea, Lana.
Copy !req
359. I realize we haven't had much time alone
since I started seeing Dean.
Copy !req
360. Actually, that's kind of what I wanted
to talk to you about.
Copy !req
361. - Dean's a really, really great guy. It's just...
- Let me guess.
Copy !req
362. You liked the tables the way they were.
Copy !req
363. Am I that transparent?
Copy !req
364. Well, I've already had a long talk with Dean,
and I told him you're very independent...
Copy !req
365. and before he goes offering
any more unsolicited advice...
Copy !req
366. he should...
Well, he should get to know you better.
Copy !req
367. Thanks, Nell, I really appreciate that.
Copy !req
368. Lana, your feelings
are very important to me...
Copy !req
369. and they're important to Dean too.
Copy !req
370. That's why we'd both like
to spend more time together.
Copy !req
371. The three of us, as a family.
Copy !req
372. Family.
Copy !req
373. Lana, Dean didn't want me to say anything
until we were all together...
Copy !req
374. but, well, you know me,
I can never keep a secret.
Copy !req
375. Lana, Dean's asked me to marry him.
Copy !req
376. - What did you say?
- I said yes.
Copy !req
377. The spaceship, I need to know!
Copy !req
378. Are you gonna tell me...
Copy !req
379. who this belongs to?
Copy !req
380. Look, man, I was just fronting.
I was trying to scare you.
Copy !req
381. - I have no clue whose ship that is.
- You're lying!
Copy !req
382. Look, you're sick.
Copy !req
383. Just let me go!
I'll bring back help.
Copy !req
384. Sure. You think anyone's gonna help me?
Copy !req
385. The doctors don't even have a name
for what's killing me!
Copy !req
386. - You're dying?
- Yes.
Copy !req
387. But not before I prove I am not some...
Copy !req
388. sideshow freak, a quack doctor who sells
meteor rocks on the side of the road.
Copy !req
389. And if you don't tell me what I want
to know, then you're dying too!
Copy !req
390. Hamilton reports finding large
concentrations of meteor fragments...
Copy !req
391. spread over a large area
south of County Highway 17.
Copy !req
392. These fragments vary in circumference...
Copy !req
393. from 24 microns five to 500
and 62 millimeters.
Copy !req
394. Interesting reading, Dad.
Copy !req
395. Lex.
I didn't hear you come in.
Copy !req
396. I'm surprised.
Copy !req
397. Dr. Rawlings says he's seen improvement in
your other senses since you lost your sight.
Copy !req
398. You spoke to Rawlings?
Copy !req
399. Imagine my surprise when he told me how
worried he was that you'd gone AWOL...
Copy !req
400. and missed your last several
physical-therapy sessions.
Copy !req
401. In fact, he says the worst thing
for you right now...
Copy !req
402. is to be away from your care providers.
Copy !req
403. Do you have any idea how degrading it is
to be poked and prodded by therapists?
Copy !req
404. How demeaning it is to be told...
Copy !req
405. by a Braille instructor, "One day, one day,
all this will feel natural"?
Copy !req
406. You want the truth, Lex?
Copy !req
407. I was tired of being treated like an object,
an invalid. I had to get away from that.
Copy !req
408. You thought a couple days of oedipal
mano a mano would make you feel better?
Copy !req
409. Your analogy's apt but flawed, Lex.
Blind Oedipus was the son, not the father.
Copy !req
410. I'll go back to Metropolis.
Copy !req
411. So your sudden interest in Dr. Hamilton
was really just a coincidence?
Copy !req
412. I admit, I find his work...
Copy !req
413. intriguing.
- He's sick, possibly delusional.
Copy !req
414. Never underestimate the value
of eccentrics and lunatics, Lex.
Copy !req
415. Every Arthur needs his Merlin.
Copy !req
416. Hamilton said that he found
some sort of...
Copy !req
417. disk and that you had it.
Copy !req
418. - He's mistaken.
- Oh, even so...
Copy !req
419. I think it may have been a bit rash
to terminate his contract.
Copy !req
420. Why do you say that?
Copy !req
421. Have you taken a look
in the good doctor's barn lately?
Copy !req
422. Hey, Chloe, have you seen Pete?
Copy !req
423. No, but the weird-o-meter
just kicked up another notch.
Copy !req
424. Hospital visitor log.
Copy !req
425. Yeah, I was looking into
Ray Wallace's death.
Copy !req
426. It turns out he had a visitor just before
he flatlined. A Dr. Steven Hamilton.
Copy !req
427. - The meteor freak?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
428. - I thought he left.
- So did I.
Copy !req
429. So Pete plays good samaritan,
Dr. Hamilton visits the patient...
Copy !req
430. Patient dies and Pete disappears.
Copy !req
431. It's not exactly smoking gun, but...
Copy !req
432. It's good enough.
I'm gonna check out Hamilton.
Copy !req
433. He used to have a place down on
Allentown Road, maybe he's back there.
Copy !req
434. Clark?
Copy !req
435. Clark?
Copy !req
436. Clark?
Copy !req
437. - What are you doing?
- See how my hand spasms?
Copy !req
438. It's from prolonged exposure
to the meteor rocks.
Copy !req
439. I'm gonna give you...
Copy !req
440. a dosage that's gonna make my tremors
look like a mild twitch.
Copy !req
441. I told you I didn't know anything!
Copy !req
442. I think you're lying.
You're protecting someone.
Copy !req
443. - I hope whoever it is, is worth dying for!
- All right!
Copy !req
444. You want me to talk,
here's what I have to say.
Copy !req
445. Take that needle and stick it wherever,
because I'm not telling you a damn thing!
Copy !req
446. Pete!
Copy !req
447. - Put the needle down!
- Not till he tells me what he knows.
Copy !req
448. Clark.
Copy !req
449. - What's wrong?
- I'm allergic to the meteor rocks.
Copy !req
450. This ship is yours, isn't it?
Copy !req
451. Open it!
Open it!
Copy !req
452. Open it!
Copy !req
453. Clark, come on!
Copy !req
454. We gotta get you out of here.
Copy !req
455. We have to help him!
Copy !req
456. It's too late, he's dead. Come on.
Copy !req
457. We gotta get the ship.
Copy !req
458. So does it do anything?
Copy !req
459. We hoped we might
find some answers inside about Clark...
Copy !req
460. but we haven't been able to open it.
Copy !req
461. Clark, look.
Copy !req
462. I know I sort of went postal
when all this started...
Copy !req
463. but after what happened to Hamilton...
Copy !req
464. I realized why you never told me...
Copy !req
465. and I'm sorry.
Copy !req
466. Well, I guess you had a good reason
to be upset.
Copy !req
467. We're just glad you weren't hurt.
Copy !req
468. There's still one thing.
Copy !req
469. Hamilton tried to kill me, and...
Copy !req
470. he could have told the whole world
about you...
Copy !req
471. but you still tried to save him.
Copy !req
472. I couldn't let you die to protect my secret,
and I can't let anyone else die either.
Copy !req
473. No matter who they are.
Copy !req
474. Man...
Copy !req
475. it's not easy being you, is it?
Copy !req
476. Well, good thing is, I got my best friend
to watch my back.
Copy !req
477. Pete...
Copy !req
478. I'm proud of you.
Copy !req
479. But I hope you realize what a tremendous
responsibility knowing this secret is.
Copy !req
480. And believe me,
it's not gonna get any easier.
Copy !req
481. That's my dad's way of saying,
"Welcome to the family."
Copy !req
482. Does it look anything like
Hamilton's description?
Copy !req
483. What he says it was?
Copy !req
484. There's nothing here, Dad.
Copy !req
485. They must have moved it.
Copy !req
486. Or someone took it.
Copy !req
487. - Come on. The helicopter's waiting.
- No, I'm not going back, not just yet.
Copy !req
488. - What about your treatment?
- I'm afraid those physical therapists...
Copy !req
489. will just have to come to me.
Copy !req
490. I hope you're not staying because of
a sudden interest in alien spacecraft.
Copy !req
491. Of course not.
Copy !req
492. I'm staying because I want to spend
more quality time with my only son.
Copy !req
493. Good, because this could all be a hoax.
Copy !req
494. Hoax or not, I'm not the only one
who's suddenly interested in it.
Copy !req
495. So this super-speed thing, how fast
we talking? Twenty, 30 miles per hour?
Copy !req
496. Yeah, something like that.
Copy !req
497. What about the x-ray? Have you
used it to look through a girl's...?
Copy !req
498. It only works when I focus, and I do not
use it to invade people's privacy.
Copy !req
499. - Come on.
- I'm serious.
Copy !req
500. So you're telling me, never once
have you looked in the girls' locker room?
Copy !req
501. Well...
Copy !req
502. maybe once.
- That's my boy.
Copy !req
503. So you been holding back
on the court?
Copy !req
504. A little bit.
Copy !req
505. So, what are we waiting for?
Show me what you got.
Copy !req
506. - I don't think you want to go there, Pete.
- Bring it on.
Copy !req
507. - All right.
- Now, we all know...
Copy !req
508. if I guard you,
you're not getting near this hoop.
Copy !req
509. I don't care what kind
of powers you got, let's go.
Copy !req
510. This is gonna be fun.
Copy !req
