1. Nothing says school
spirit like a ring thatCopy !req
2. looks like it was jacked from P. Diddy.Copy !req
3. - I think it looks great.
- I think we'll be lucky...Copy !req
4. if the glue holds through graduation.Copy !req
5. I wonder if the ruby's even real.Copy !req
6. You sure you're gonna do this?Copy !req
7. I'm here, aren't I?Copy !req
8. - What?
- I believe your dad's exact words were:Copy !req
9. "Three hundred and
fifty dollars is a lotCopy !req
10. to spend on something
you don't need."Copy !req
11. I earned that money.
Besides,Copy !req
12. Dad said it was my
decision to make.Copy !req
13. Which means that you're really not
supposed to buy it.Copy !req
14. I know the first day
at a new school can be rough...Copy !req
15. so if you have questions, just ask.Copy !req
16. So, what do you Crows do for fun?Copy !req
17. Between the tractor-pulls
and the hoedowns.Copy !req
18. - There's the Talon.
- Which is...?Copy !req
19. A coffeehouse,
and a really cool place to hang out.Copy !req
20. But I'm kind of biased,
because I sort of own it.Copy !req
21. Gee, I'll have to check it out.Copy !req
22. Whoa. Who is the major hottie
in primary colors?Copy !req
23. That's Clark Kent.Copy !req
24. No offense, Lana,
but maybe.Copy !req
25. I could get him to show me around.Copy !req
26. You feeling all right?Copy !req
27. Yeah, I feel great.Copy !req
28. Excuse me.Copy !req
29. It's Jessie, isn't it?Copy !req
30. Perhaps Ms. Lang didn't tell you...Copy !req
31. but there's a dress code here
at Smallville High.Copy !req
32. Lame and lamer?Copy !req
33. You think that's funny, Mr. Kent?Copy !req
34. By the way, I'm not changing.Copy !req
35. Well, perhaps you'd like
to discuss your attitude in my office.Copy !req
36. Excuse me, Mr. Gibbons?Copy !req
37. I think she looks really hot,
and I think that your dress code sucks.Copy !req
38. Excuse me?Copy !req
39. I mean, come on.
It's her first day, cut her some slack.Copy !req
40. Besides, I don't think you
should be the one giving fashion tips.Copy !req
41. Tomorrow, young lady, proper attire
or you're going straight home.Copy !req
42. I guess we can finish our tour.Copy !req
43. Where did that come from?Copy !req
44. I don't know...Copy !req
45. but I think I liked it.Copy !req
46. I'm telling you, man,
I don't know where she is.Copy !req
47. Look, Kyle...Copy !req
48. I know that you want
to do the right thing...Copy !req
49. but Jessie and her father are fugitives
now. It's my job to bring them in.Copy !req
50. What kind of U.S. Marshal are you,
anyways?Copy !req
51. The kind that gets results.Copy !req
52. - Okay.
- Okay? Okay, what?Copy !req
53. I've heard from her once or twice.Copy !req
54. She called me collect
from someplace in Kansas.Copy !req
55. Where in Kansas? It's a big state.Copy !req
56. All over. They were from pay phones.Copy !req
57. Check my phone bill. That's all I know.Copy !req
58. You have to believe me.Copy !req
59. Relax.Copy !req
60. I believe you.Copy !req
61. So you'll let me go now?Copy !req
62. Oh, I would, but Jessie might call.Copy !req
63. And you might decide to warn her.Copy !req
64. So this is what I was talking about.Copy !req
65. It's right over the county line,
and they don't check IDs.Copy !req
66. Dude, this is like a bar.Copy !req
67. I know. You're the one who says if you
wanna have fun, you gotta take risks.Copy !req
68. We can go this weekend.Copy !req
69. The day Clark Kent decides
to break rules, I'll be there.Copy !req
70. - All right.
- Clark, right?Copy !req
71. Jessie Brooks.
That place rocks.Copy !req
72. I checked it out on
my way into town.Copy !req
73. - Are you planning a road trip?
- If we do, I'll let you know.Copy !req
74. You'll need to know
how to get in touch with me.Copy !req
75. In case you require a translation,
that was her hitting on you.Copy !req
76. She is kind of hot.Copy !req
77. Aren't you married to Lana
in your imagination?Copy !req
78. Clark! You and Jessie
seem to be making fast friends.Copy !req
79. Just trying to make
the new girl feel welcome.Copy !req
80. Don't worry, Lana,
I haven't taken my eye off you all day.Copy !req
81. So we still on for that cram session
tonight at the Talon?Copy !req
82. If you're still gonna be there,
absolutely.Copy !req
83. I'll be there.Copy !req
84. So soon as you get this shined
to your liking, I get the first ride.Copy !req
85. Yep, and all the others
can just take a number.Copy !req
86. Hey, where's Clark? He's really late.Copy !req
87. Looking for me?Copy !req
88. Yeah. Weren't you supposed
to be here with me,Copy !req
89. working on the garage door?Copy !req
90. Dad, that'll take, like, two seconds.Copy !req
91. And I thought we agreed
you weren't gonna buy that ring.Copy !req
92. I thought we decided
it was my decision to make.Copy !req
93. That's because I assumed
that you would make the right one.Copy !req
94. Clark, that ring costs a lot of money.Copy !req
95. And I'm tired of worrying
about every nickel and dime.Copy !req
96. Clark, why don't you go wash up
for dinner.Copy !req
97. I'm not hungry.
Besides, I have chores to do.Copy !req
98. What was that all about?Copy !req
99. I think our not-so-normal son
might be going through...Copy !req
100. some classic teenage rebellion.Copy !req
101. Well, I think I liked dealing
with heat vision a lot better than that.Copy !req
102. - That was a bad decision he made.
- But it was his to make.Copy !req
103. I seem to recall a certain young man
who defied his father...Copy !req
104. and spent $500 on an old motorcycle.Copy !req
105. Challenging him is only gonna
make it worse.Copy !req
106. When I got up this morning,
I was pretty sure this was my office.Copy !req
107. Lex! I thought you wouldn't mind
if I had a few changes made...Copy !req
108. since I'm gonna be here a while.
Go on.Copy !req
109. What I mind is not being consulted.Copy !req
110. I didn't realize I'd need
my son's permission to try to make my...Copy !req
111. situation here a trifle more bearable.Copy !req
112. I've lost my sight.
Allow me at least a modicum of dignity.Copy !req
113. Give him whatever he wants.Copy !req
114. - Barkeep, I'm looking for a girl.
- Aren't we all?Copy !req
115. The girl in this photo
used that phone over there.Copy !req
116. Any crime in that?Copy !req
117. No, but she is a teenager...Copy !req
118. and we both know the
legal drinking age in Kansas is 21.Copy !req
119. If she comes back in, you call me.Copy !req
120. The number's on the back.Copy !req
121. I think we should start in the middle...Copy !req
122. Hey, Clark, glad you made it. We're just
doing American history, the Red Scare.Copy !req
123. Hey, can we do that tomorrow?Copy !req
124. - Why, is something wrong?
- No, it...Copy !req
125. It's really nice out tonight.
Let's go for a drive, go dancing.Copy !req
126. Are you asking me on a date?Copy !req
127. I'm asking you
to have some fun with me.Copy !req
128. This is a little unexpected,
to say the least.Copy !req
129. But we really have to study.Copy !req
130. Did you know when you get all serious,
your nose crinkles up?Copy !req
131. It's really sexy.Copy !req
132. Pete and Chloe are waiting for us.Copy !req
133. - Well, let me use your sheet.
- Yeah. Maybe we should check...Copy !req
134. What did you get for number five?Copy !req
135. Hey, man.Copy !req
136. Where are your books?Copy !req
137. You guys want to go to a bar?Copy !req
138. Clark, you can commit
academic hara-kiri,Copy !req
139. but the rest of us need
to cram for this test.Copy !req
140. You guys,
high school's supposed to be fun.Copy !req
141. This is not fun.Copy !req
142. - Come on, my treat.
- When did you and the money truck meet?Copy !req
143. Since I decided there's no percentage
in playing poverty.Copy !req
144. I'm gonna get a refill.
I'm gonna get you some decaf.Copy !req
145. Here, I'll give you a hand.Copy !req
146. Yeah, I have never...Copy !req
147. Did you know that Chloe
had a birthmark on her cheek?Copy !req
148. - No, she doesn't.
- Not that cheek.Copy !req
149. Are you doing what I think you're doing?Copy !req
150. - Clark, that's Chloe you're scoping, man.
- Not just Chloe.Copy !req
151. - Come on, let's go have some fun.
- Clark, this test is half our grade.Copy !req
152. If you want to party
this weekend, I'm with youCopy !req
153. but right
now, I need to do this.Copy !req
154. All right. Well, when you're through with
Boring 101, give me a call.Copy !req
155. You're kidding.Copy !req
156. Thank you.Copy !req
157. What's wrong?Copy !req
158. That was the credit card company.
They were...Copy !req
159. calling to verify some charges that
were made on our card? Last night?Copy !req
160. When did we get a satellite dish?Copy !req
161. This is silk!Copy !req
162. - Clark!
- Clark! Where did you get all this?Copy !req
163. Discount Eddie's in Metropolis.
Open all night!Copy !req
164. You mean to tell...Copy !req
165. You mean you took our credit cards
and you bought all this...?Copy !req
166. - You bought all this junk?
- Yeah.Copy !req
167. I figured it was time I had
the cool stuff everyone else has.Copy !req
168. Clark Kent, you stole from us.Copy !req
169. No. I used your credit cards.Copy !req
170. What's the big deal?
We don't have to pay for it right away.Copy !req
171. Well, I'll tell you the big deal...Copy !req
172. the big deal is, you're gonna take all
this garbage back right now. Come on!Copy !req
173. - Yeah, right.
- Yeah, right.Copy !req
174. After you've taken this garbage back...Copy !req
175. we're gonna have a conversation
about this new attitude you've developed.Copy !req
176. Well, Dad, you can talk all you want.
I'm out of here.Copy !req
177. Clark! Clark, come back here!Copy !req
178. You're not going to school
dressed like that.Copy !req
179. Okay. Then I just won't go.Copy !req
180. Jessie, please, you're a smart girl.Copy !req
181. You know we can't afford
to draw attention to ourselves.Copy !req
182. Need a ride?Copy !req
183. Clark?Copy !req
184. Jessie.Copy !req
185. - My hero.
- Jessie, I need you to...Copy !req
186. Okay, what planet is that guy from
and what did he do with Clark?Copy !req
187. Well, Clark...Copy !req
188. thanks for the ride.Copy !req
189. Anytime.Copy !req
190. So much for the shy
and retiring Clark Kent.Copy !req
191. I was just giving her a ride to school.Copy !req
192. Say the word and
I'll save you the return trip.Copy !req
193. Catch up with you later.Copy !req
194. Clark Kent, chick magnet.
What's wrong with this picture?Copy !req
195. People change, Pete.Copy !req
196. - Clark, I'd like a word with you, please.
- Not right now, Dad.Copy !req
197. - Get in the truck, son.
- Give me one good reason why I should.Copy !req
198. Because I am your father,
and I just told you to get in the truck.Copy !req
199. You're not my father.Copy !req
200. You never were.Copy !req
201. You all right, sir?Copy !req
202. Here you go.Copy !req
203. - I can't believe Clark would do that.
- It's like he's a whole different person.Copy !req
204. - How are we gonna get him home?
- I don't know.Copy !req
205. Fact is, if he doesn't wanna come home,
there isn't much either one of us can do.Copy !req
206. Here, I'll take it. I'll get that.Copy !req
207. Takes your whole teenage-rebellion
theory to a new level.Copy !req
208. This is more than teenage rebellion.Copy !req
209. A change this drastic
doesn't happen overnight.Copy !req
210. Martha, it's Clark.Copy !req
211. All of his other abilities
cropped up overnight.Copy !req
212. Do you think this is part
of his development?Copy !req
213. I don't know.
But from what he said...Copy !req
214. I guess those feelings have been
boiling up for a while.Copy !req
215. No, Jonathan, Clark loves you.Copy !req
216. But there's something
seriously wrong with him.Copy !req
217. I don't think another father-and-son talk
is gonna help this time.Copy !req
218. Maybe Pete can help.Copy !req
219. They're always together.Copy !req
220. We should find out if he has any idea
what's causing Clark's behavior.Copy !req
221. Well, we've gotta do something.Copy !req
222. Lana, we need to talk.Copy !req
223. Clark, please, I really need
to get these orders done.Copy !req
224. Your coffee can wait.Copy !req
225. I got the impression that you were
jealous when you saw me with Jessie.Copy !req
226. Don't be ridiculous. You can spend time
with anyone you want.Copy !req
227. Don't get me wrong.
I was happy you were jealous.Copy !req
228. Clark, what is going on with you?Copy !req
229. I've decided to tell you the truth, Lana.Copy !req
230. About...?Copy !req
231. - About everything?
- Try me.Copy !req
232. What do you want to know?Copy !req
233. For starters, how about what
happened the day the twisters hit?Copy !req
234. We'll get there.Copy !req
235. But right now we should concentrate
on more important things, like...Copy !req
236. I've had feelings for you
for a long time...Copy !req
237. and I know that
you've had feelings for me too.Copy !req
238. So I think we should stop pretending.Copy !req
239. So, what?
Is this supposed to be some...Copy !req
240. - all-new Clark Kent?
- Well, that depends.Copy !req
241. Do you like him?Copy !req
242. Clark, l...Copy !req
243. What about Jessie?Copy !req
244. Jessie who?Copy !req
245. You're the one I want to be with.Copy !req
246. I'll pick you up at 8.Copy !req
247. Pete, you are not gonna believe
what I found out.Copy !req
248. Our "el cheapo" class rings are,
in fact, fake.Copy !req
249. Chloe, there's something wrong
with Clark.Copy !req
250. More than usual?Copy !req
251. Last night at the Talon,
the motorcycle...Copy !req
252. - other stuff.
- What kind of other stuff?Copy !req
253. The kind that has
Mr. And Mrs. Kent calling my house.Copy !req
254. They're worried.
It's, like, they think he's on drugs.Copy !req
255. Clark would have to be on drugs
to be on drugs.Copy !req
256. Just be careful with that.Copy !req
257. - What is it, anyway?
- My exposé.Copy !req
258. See this lovely $350 piece of
school spirit? It's a rip-off.Copy !req
259. The jewelry company was substituting
worthless meteor rocks for rubies...Copy !req
260. - to save money.
- Chloe...Copy !req
261. rings, red. Meteor rocks, green.Copy !req
262. Not the load they found near
Hobbs Pond. Note the red vein.Copy !req
263. You can read all about it
on page one of today's Torch.Copy !req
264. Pete.Copy !req
265. Chloe's gonna force a recall
because the rings are made from this.Copy !req
266. - You think that's causing his behavior?
- Well, that's when it started.Copy !req
267. Right after he slipped on the ring.Copy !req
268. If the green meteor rocks
affect Clark physically...Copy !req
269. maybe the red affects him emotionally.Copy !req
270. That explains his personality changes.Copy !req
271. The longer he's exposed to the green,
the worse he gets.Copy !req
272. If the same is true with the red,
God help us.Copy !req
273. - We're gonna find him and get that ring.
- How are we gonna do that?Copy !req
274. Like you said, if he doesn't
wanna do something, we can't force it.Copy !req
275. Sweetheart, I don't know,
but we have to figure out a way.Copy !req
276. I came to shoot some pool, but it looks
like this establishment's been closed.Copy !req
277. My father's presence
has required certain sacrifices.Copy !req
278. - Why don't you throw him out?
- Clark...Copy !req
279. it's not like the thought
hasn't occurred to me, but...Copy !req
280. his blindness changes the situation.Copy !req
281. Just because your father has a problem
doesn't mean he needs to ruin your life.Copy !req
282. I wasn't aware a $2000 coat
came with a backbone.Copy !req
283. What's going on?Copy !req
284. I'd like to borrow the Ferrari.
Got a hot date tonight, and I wanna...Copy !req
285. rock her world.Copy !req
286. "Rock her world"?Copy !req
287. So, Lana at last.Copy !req
288. Like you said, a man needs
to know when to make his move.Copy !req
289. I'm glad you're finally
acting on your feelings, but...Copy !req
290. Lana's never struck me as a girl
to be impressed by a Ferrari.Copy !req
291. Fast cars...Copy !req
292. fancy home and a ton of money
never hurt you, did it?Copy !req
293. Come on, I just
want to make tonight special.Copy !req
294. I don't know. It's a very expensive
piece of machinery, difficult to handle.Copy !req
295. It's not like I'm going to...Copy !req
296. drive it off a bridge.Copy !req
297. All you have to ask yourself is...Copy !req
298. who's more responsible
than Clark Kent?Copy !req
299. This place is great!Copy !req
300. I guess. Not exactly
what I was expecting.Copy !req
301. What are you looking at?Copy !req
302. Clark, I'm fine.Copy !req
303. I'm fine.Copy !req
304. - Want a beer?
- What?Copy !req
305. - Do you want a beer?
- No! And since when do you drink?Copy !req
306. If you don't wanna drink, let's dance.Copy !req
307. Clark, this place isn't us.
Let's go somewhere else and talk.Copy !req
308. I'll take that dance, Clark.Copy !req
309. - Whoa!
- I took your advice, Lana...Copy !req
310. - and checked out the Talon.
- Yeah?Copy !req
311. Yeah, that's why
I decided to come here.Copy !req
312. - Clark, come on. Let's go.
- One dance.Copy !req
313. Lana, I'll be right back.Copy !req
314. - So do you like living in Smallville?
- It's the only place I ever lived.Copy !req
315. Well, there's a big, bad world out there.
The right person ought to show you.Copy !req
316. Anyone in mind?Copy !req
317. I'm leaving.Copy !req
318. Lana, we just got here.Copy !req
319. Why don't you go get us some drinks.
We'll all have a good time.Copy !req
320. You're unbelievable!
What happened to telling the truth?Copy !req
321. What happened to
"Spend time with whoever you want"?Copy !req
322. - Is that the way you want it?
- There's enough of me to go around.Copy !req
323. - Lana...
- Is there a problem here?Copy !req
324. Not anymore.Copy !req
325. I'd let the lady go if I were you.Copy !req
326. - You're going down, smart guy.
- I don't think so.Copy !req
327. Oh, God!Copy !req
328. - Oh, God!
- Help him!Copy !req
329. Anybody else?Copy !req
330. I can't be here when the cops get here.Copy !req
331. Yeah, let's go pack our bags, see that
big, bad world you were talking about.Copy !req
332. Let it go, man! Let it go!Copy !req
333. Where were you all night?
We looked everywhere.Copy !req
334. Last night was the best night of my life.Copy !req
335. - We want to help you.
- Help me?Copy !req
336. Help me what? Stay here on the farm?Copy !req
337. Doing chores, wasting my life
for a $20-a-week allowance?Copy !req
338. Clark, I wish you could hear yourself for
just a minute. There's something very...Copy !req
339. very wrong with you. It's that ring.Copy !req
340. You're still upset about me
buying this stupid thing.Copy !req
341. How pathetic.Copy !req
342. Clark.Copy !req
343. You really don't want to touch me.Copy !req
344. Why don't you just hand it to me, then.Copy !req
345. Clark, it isn't the ring itself. Chloe found
out it's made out of red meteor rock.Copy !req
346. You know how the green rock
makes you sick?Copy !req
347. Well, we think the red rock
is affecting your mind.Copy !req
348. It's changed your personality, Clark.Copy !req
349. So everything I've been doing and saying
is because of this?Copy !req
350. That's right. That's why you gotta
take that thing off right away.Copy !req
351. Take it off?
I just wish I would have found it sooner.Copy !req
352. If you guys wanna
waste your life in this mudhole...Copy !req
353. that's your problem.
I'm through being poor.Copy !req
354. We might not have
all the things that other people have.Copy !req
355. - I didn't think our family was about that.
- With my abilities, I can make millions.Copy !req
356. Sports, TV, it's all waiting for me.Copy !req
357. You're the ones who
force me to hide who I am.Copy !req
358. No. We are the ones
who have been trying to protect you.Copy !req
359. We don't want anybody
taking you away.Copy !req
360. Protecting me? Using me.Copy !req
361. I'm just another piece of equipment
to keep your farm going.Copy !req
362. That's all gonna change.Copy !req
363. Lex, if it's all right, I'm gonna
keep the Ferrari a bit longer.Copy !req
364. - I'll send it back when I get set up.
- Slow down. Clark, what's going on?Copy !req
365. I left home.Copy !req
366. What happened?
You have a fight with your folks?Copy !req
367. My parents don't understand me.Copy !req
368. The truth is, there's nothing left
for me in Smallville.Copy !req
369. What about Lana?Copy !req
370. She's old news.
I got a new girl, Jessie.Copy !req
371. Kind of sudden, isn't it?Copy !req
372. You're the one always telling me
to find my destiny.Copy !req
373. Well, one thing's for certain,
it's not here in Kansas.Copy !req
374. So you've just packed
your stuff and you're off.Copy !req
375. You have no idea what I'm capable of.Copy !req
376. Really?Copy !req
377. Why don't you fill me in.Copy !req
378. Let's just say that when I'm through
showing the world what I can do...Copy !req
379. I'll have everything I've ever wanted.
I may be even richer than you.Copy !req
380. Maybe you're right
to get away from your folks.Copy !req
381. Maybe I should do the same.Copy !req
382. If my father wants
the mansion so much...Copy !req
383. he can have it.Copy !req
384. - I never wanted to live in Smallville.
- You can come with me.Copy !req
385. Nobody's using
the penthouse in Metropolis.Copy !req
386. Clark Kent and Lex Luthor.Copy !req
387. I like the sound of that.Copy !req
388. Let me just tie up
some loose ends at the office.Copy !req
389. Make yourself at home. I'll be right back.Copy !req
390. - Hey.
- Hey.Copy !req
391. So I heard from a source that you had
a big date with Clark last night.Copy !req
392. Wouldn't call it a date when the guy
you went with leaves with someone else.Copy !req
393. Wow. You just went
from the gossip column to page one.Copy !req
394. Sorry, sometimes my
"glib-o-meter" goes into overdrive.Copy !req
395. No. I guess...
You know, he's so secretive.Copy !req
396. I guess I was thrown for a loop...Copy !req
397. by a Clark who could say all the things
that the old Clark couldn't.Copy !req
398. Well, welcome to the conundrum
that is Clark Kent.Copy !req
399. Part knight in shining armor,
part "Where did that come from?"Copy !req
400. Miss?Copy !req
401. - Can I get a refill here?
- Yeah. Yeah, just a second.Copy !req
402. Thanks.Copy !req
403. Here you go.Copy !req
404. Louise.Copy !req
405. Did you get an owner and an address
on the license plate I asked you to run?Copy !req
406. Of course I know who he is.Copy !req
407. Thanks. You're an angel.Copy !req
408. Are you sure this is the right thing to do?Copy !req
409. Pete, Clark would not listen to reason.
We don't have much of a choice here.Copy !req
410. There's only one way
to stop the unstoppable.Copy !req
411. - Yeah...
- Excuse me.Copy !req
412. Mr. Kent.Copy !req
413. Pete, why don't you...
Why don't you get going.Copy !req
414. Lex, this is really not a very good time.Copy !req
415. I understand you and Clark
have been having problems.Copy !req
416. I don't wanna be rude, but I'd prefer it if
you'd stay out of my family's problems.Copy !req
417. Believe me, Mr. Kent,
I'm not trying to pry, but...Copy !req
418. Clark's my friend.Copy !req
419. I'd hate to see
your relationship fall apart.Copy !req
420. I appreciate your concern...Copy !req
421. but Clark and I can work this out.Copy !req
422. Then why is Clark hiding out
at the mansion?Copy !req
423. Lex?Copy !req
424. Is that you?Copy !req
425. Hey!Copy !req
426. Whoa, hey!Copy !req
427. What do you want?Copy !req
428. Lionel, go back to your room.Copy !req
429. Better yet, pack your bags
and get the hell out.Copy !req
430. I beg your pardon?Copy !req
431. Lex may be too afraid to tell you,
but I'm not.Copy !req
432. No one in Smallville wants you here.Copy !req
433. You seem to know a lot about me.
You got a name?Copy !req
434. - Clark Kent.
- Jonathan and Martha Kent's son?Copy !req
435. As far as I know, they're good people.
I'm astonished they've raised...Copy !req
436. such a blatantly aggressive offspring.Copy !req
437. If you like them so much,
I'm sure they'll put you up.Copy !req
438. I hear they have a spare bedroom,
and I know they could use the cash.Copy !req
439. You've got a lot to learn about tact,
young man, but you speak your mind.Copy !req
440. That's good. It'll take you far.Copy !req
441. I'm going to the top.Copy !req
442. - Mr. Luthor?
- Yes.Copy !req
443. I apologize for the interruption. I'm
a federal marshal. Your people let me in.Copy !req
444. What can I do for you?Copy !req
445. He was seen last night leaving the scene
of a disturbance in your son's Ferrari.Copy !req
446. Was that while you were
on your way to the top, Clark?Copy !req
447. Where can I find this girl?Copy !req
448. I've never seen her before.Copy !req
449. Is that supposed to scare me?Copy !req
450. How'd you do that?Copy !req
451. You've got no idea
who you're dealing with.Copy !req
452. What's happening?Copy !req
453. - Who's shooting?
- Don't worry, Lionel...Copy !req
454. he missed.Copy !req
455. I'll call security.Copy !req
456. Why are you looking for Jessie?Copy !req
457. It's not her, it's her father. They were
witness protection. They rabbited.Copy !req
458. - Why?
- He's a corporate whistle-blower.Copy !req
459. His former employer offered me
a million dollars if I could get evidence.Copy !req
460. What kind of evidence?Copy !req
461. Computer disks, accounting files,
memos, endless smoking guns.Copy !req
462. Look, we can split it. It's enough money
to start a whole new life.Copy !req
463. That's a great idea...Copy !req
464. but who needs you?Copy !req
465. Thought you forgot about me.
Ready to go?Copy !req
466. Almost.Copy !req
467. I know about your father,
Jessie, and the disks.Copy !req
468. We're not going
anywhere until I have them.Copy !req
469. I don't understand.
Why are you doing this?Copy !req
470. The money.Copy !req
471. You said you wanted
to leave this town...Copy !req
472. and a million dollars is more than
enough money to make a fresh start.Copy !req
473. If I give you those disks,
my dad is a dead man.Copy !req
474. He was dead when he started running.Copy !req
475. - Didn't I tell you I didn't want to split?
- You need me, kid.Copy !req
476. I know the players, how to get money.
Now give him the disks, Jessica!Copy !req
477. I don't want to hurt you, son.
But I will. Get out.Copy !req
478. Just like my dad...Copy !req
479. always telling me what to do.Copy !req
480. I don't listen to him.Copy !req
481. What makes you think
I'm gonna listen to you?Copy !req
482. Where are the disks?Copy !req
483. In the floorboards? In the ceiling?Copy !req
484. In here?Copy !req
485. Doesn't really matter.
I'll figure it out one way or another.Copy !req
486. So why don't you save yourself
a lot of pain...Copy !req
487. and make it sooner.Copy !req
488. You can kill me, you can tear this house
to the ground, you won't find the disks.Copy !req
489. Jessie.Copy !req
490. Please don't do this.Copy !req
491. I never realized how easy it would be
to get everything I've ever wanted.Copy !req
492. Clark!Copy !req
493. Pete?Copy !req
494. - It take the whole study group to find me?
- Lionel Luthor heard you mention Jessie.Copy !req
495. Jessie, run!Copy !req
496. How far is she gonna get, Pete?
A mile or two?Copy !req
497. You know no one
can get away from me.Copy !req
498. Clark!Copy !req
499. - I won't let you hurt anybody else.
- Still trying to tell me what to do.Copy !req
500. Are you scared?Copy !req
501. Then again,
you and Mom were always afraid of me.Copy !req
502. No. We've had nothing but love for you.Copy !req
503. That makes what I'm about to do
all that more difficult.Copy !req
504. Pete.Copy !req
505. Do it.Copy !req
506. Pete.Copy !req
507. Clark, I'm sorry.Copy !req
508. Clark!Copy !req
509. Dad?Copy !req
510. It's okay, son. It's all right.Copy !req
511. You okay, man?Copy !req
512. Thanks, Pete.Copy !req
513. Who is that?Copy !req
514. What's...? What's going on?Copy !req
515. Lex?Copy !req
516. What's going on in here?Copy !req
517. What...? I didn't order
any more work to be done.Copy !req
518. - I'm putting the office back as it was.
- You...Copy !req
519. Have a drink, Dad.Copy !req
520. Bas Armagnac, 1963?Copy !req
521. It's my favorite.Copy !req
522. There was a time I thought our taste
in brandy was all we had in common.Copy !req
523. And now?Copy !req
524. I've been thinking about the months
after the meteor shower...Copy !req
525. the way people looked at me.Copy !req
526. A baldheaded boy,
thinking I was a freak.Copy !req
527. Please, Lex, not another tale of your
tortured youth and how I...Copy !req
528. How I failed you as a father...Copy !req
529. Actually, you gave me
some excellent advice.Copy !req
530. You told me to stop feeling sorry
for myself.Copy !req
531. These were the cards fate had dealt me.
It was best that I accept it and move on.Copy !req
532. Stop acting like your blindness
gives you an excuse for self-pity.Copy !req
533. So the son becomes the father.Copy !req
534. No, Dad.Copy !req
535. I'm through indulging you like a child.Copy !req
536. My office remains my office.
You don't like it, leave.Copy !req
537. Well. Seems I have done a better job
of raising you than I thought.Copy !req
538. Or perhaps...Copy !req
539. you've finally learned the value
of directness from your friend...Copy !req
540. Clark Kent.Copy !req
541. He's a very interesting young man.Copy !req
542. - Hi.
- Hey.Copy !req
543. - Here.
- Thanks.Copy !req
544. I went by Jessie's.
They've completely cleared out.Copy !req
545. Well, maybe they stopped running
and have gone to the authorities.Copy !req
546. I just hope she's all right.Copy !req
547. You know, Dad, the things that I did
and I said, I really didn't mean them.Copy !req
548. Clark...Copy !req
549. the red meteor rocks might have
affected your personality, but...Copy !req
550. we gotta face it,
those feelings all came from somewhere.Copy !req
551. Now, I know compared to Lex, we don't
have a whole lot around here, but...Copy !req
552. up until now, I never
really thought it bothered you.Copy !req
553. Maybe it does.Copy !req
554. Sometimes.Copy !req
555. And then I remember
what's really important...Copy !req
556. and none of that matters.
No matter how crazy I got...Copy !req
557. you stood by me. That's something
all the money in the world can't buy.Copy !req
558. - But, still, it was a very close call, son.
- I know.Copy !req
559. When I put that ring on, I felt this sudden
urge to tell the whole world my secret.Copy !req
560. - Lex, Lana, Jessie.
- But you didn't, Clark.Copy !req
561. I know, but the feelings are still there.Copy !req
562. It's like I have these two identities.
I don't know which one's the real me.Copy !req
563. The real you is the one
who came back to us...Copy !req
564. and we never had any doubt
that you would.Copy !req
565. Nell told me you were riding, that this
is one of your favorite places. It's pretty.Copy !req
566. I got a little lost along the way, but...Copy !req
567. here I am.Copy !req
568. Those for me?Copy !req
569. Yeah.Copy !req
570. I wanted to apologize.Copy !req
571. I was hoping maybe we could be friends,
like we were before.Copy !req
572. So you thought that
if you brought me flowers...Copy !req
573. I'd pretend like nothing happened?Copy !req
574. You have to believe me.
The things I said, the way I was acting...Copy !req
575. that wasn't me.Copy !req
576. Even the part where you said
you had feelings for me?Copy !req
577. - Lana...
- Clark...Copy !req
578. you can't have it both ways.
Either it was you, or it wasn't.Copy !req
579. Wish I could explain, but I can't.Copy !req
580. Story of your life.Copy !req
581. Lana...Copy !req
582. I really am sorry.Copy !req
583. I know you are.Copy !req
584. It's not enough anymore.Copy !req
585. Do you think you can
find your way home?Copy !req
586. Hope so.Copy !req
