2. Welcome to LuthorCorp.
Copy !req
3. Now, you're all here
to learn something about business.
Copy !req
4. The most important element
in anything to do with economic theory...
Copy !req
5. is the individual.
Copy !req
6. Yes...
Copy !req
7. you.
Copy !req
8. Traditional rules, supply and demand,
they're secondary...
Copy !req
9. but to rise above those rules,
to know when to break them...
Copy !req
10. requires absolute personal commitment.
Copy !req
11. I consider it a prerequisite for success.
Copy !req
12. And I consider it despicable,
immoral and possibly illegal.
Copy !req
13. I'm sorry. Do you have a question?
Copy !req
14. No? Anybody else?
Copy !req
15. No? All right, then, I'll hand you
back over to Mr. Simms.
Copy !req
16. All right, group, follow me.
Copy !req
17. - It was a pleasure meeting you.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
18. Miss Sullivan, Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
19. Well, it's nice to see you both
looking to the future.
Copy !req
20. Want to make a break for the fire escape?
Copy !req
21. I could crawl down all
39 stories if this field trip
Copy !req
22. didn't count toward our final grade.
Copy !req
23. Welcome to the Lionel Luthor exhibit.

Copy !req
25. How about I split up
this jaded little fan club?
Copy !req
26. Mr. Kent, take the next car.
Copy !req
27. Elevators.
Copy !req
28. Too much demand, not enough supply.
Copy !req
29. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
30. What did you just do?
Copy !req
31. Please, don't tell anyone about this.
Copy !req
32. Hello! Hello! Is anybody in there?
Copy !req
33. This is LuthorCorp security.
Remain calm.
Copy !req
34. If anybody's in there,
we're working to get you out!
Copy !req
35. Hang on!
Copy !req
36. What did you just do?
Copy !req
37. You didn't want to get caught,
and I wanted to help, so...
Copy !req
38. Clark, now you know my secret too.
Copy !req
39. You can't tell anybody.
Copy !req
40. - Please.
- Are you two all right?
Copy !req
41. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, we're okay.
Copy !req
42. The elevator crashed
just as we got out of the doors.
Copy !req
43. - Sounded like the cable broke.
- How?
Copy !req
44. I don't know, Chloe.
Copy !req
45. - Are you all right?
- Yeah, I'm okay.
Copy !req
46. Thank you.

Copy !req
48. Alicia, hold on!
Copy !req
49. I didn't get a chance
to thank you yesterday.
Copy !req
50. Oh, it was my pleasure.
Copy !req
51. It was actually kind of a relief to be able
to share my ability with someone.
Copy !req
52. Is that what it takes
to be friends with you?
Copy !req
53. I guess I deserved that.
Copy !req
54. I'm not really as stuck-up
as everyone thinks.
Copy !req
55. What, you think I don't know
what people say about me?
Copy !req
56. It doesn't bother you, huh?
Copy !req
57. I'm always so afraid that if I get
too close to people they'll...
Copy !req
58. they'll find out about me,
realize that I'm a freak.
Copy !req
59. I just figure it's better to be alone,
even if people think I'm a snob.
Copy !req
60. You don't mind if I ask...
Have you always been able to...?
Copy !req
61. No. It was the meteor shower.
Copy !req
62. One minute I was swinging on the swing set,
next I'm in the middle of a corn field.
Copy !req
63. Do you know how it happened?
Copy !req
64. Sort of. I mean, once I was old enough
to realize I was different...
Copy !req
65. I did some research and...
Thank you.
Copy !req
66. I don't know. There's a complicated
explanation about quantum physics.
Copy !req
67. - You'd probably be bored.
- No.
Copy !req
68. Try me.
Copy !req
69. Basically, the meteor shower
affected my body...
Copy !req
70. and allowed me to teleport myself.
Copy !req
71. And anything you touch.
Copy !req
72. And anything I touch
I want to take with me. Yes.
Copy !req
73. What about you?
Was it meteor exposure too?
Copy !req
74. Everything's pretty much connected
to the meteor shower.
Copy !req
75. Right?
Copy !req
76. Right.
Copy !req
77. I just can't believe you're like me.
Copy !req
78. I mean, not exactly like me, but just...
Copy !req
79. like me.
Copy !req
80. You know?
Copy !req
81. Yeah. I do.
Copy !req
82. Bye.
Copy !req
83. Adam?
Copy !req
84. Lana.
Copy !req
85. What are you doing?
Copy !req
86. - Adam, what is this?
- It's private. Give it back to me.
Copy !req
87. No.
Copy !req
88. "January 11 th. Lana evasive
about her relationship with Clark.
Copy !req
89. January 17th. Clark is at the scene
of another accident."
Copy !req
90. You've been spying on me,
and you've been spying on Clark.
Copy !req
91. Look who's talking.
Copy !req
92. No, you threatened me, and now I find out
you've been keeping tabs on me?
Copy !req
93. I want you to leave.
Copy !req
94. Guess you haven't checked tenant laws.
Copy !req
95. It's not that easy to evict someone.
Copy !req
96. I'm not going anywhere.
Copy !req
97. Alicia.
Copy !req
98. Hey.
Copy !req
99. I've been looking all over for you.
Copy !req
100. Yeah, you figured teleporting girl,
physics lab.
Copy !req
101. It makes sense.
That's a pretty good deduction.
Copy !req
102. But I should warn you, Clark,
I'm not always that easy to pin down.
Copy !req
103. So I've seen.
Copy !req
104. But since I've been this lucky...
Copy !req
105. I was just wondering if you'd like...
Copy !req
106. to get together,
you know, for the econ test.
Copy !req
107. Are you asking me out on a date?
Copy !req
108. A date? No.
Copy !req
109. Not that I wouldn't, but...
Copy !req
110. Clark...
Copy !req
111. would you like to go out
on a date with me?
Copy !req
112. Did you just win the lotto?
Copy !req
113. What?
Copy !req
114. No, it's just... I haven't seen you
smile like that in a long time.
Copy !req
115. Look, l... I don't want to spoil your mood...
Copy !req
116. but I wanted to tell you
something about Adam.
Copy !req
117. What is it?
Copy !req
118. He's been keeping a journal about me.
Copy !req
119. And you. And I don't know if it's because
he's jealous or he's obsessed with us...
Copy !req
120. or if...
Copy !req
121. If it's more about you.
Copy !req
122. - Well, I'll go talk to him.
- Clark, no, I'm gonna have him evicted.
Copy !req
123. I don't think he'll bother
either of us anymore. I just...
Copy !req
124. wanted to give you a heads up.
Copy !req
125. See you at 7?
Copy !req
126. Hey, Lana.
Copy !req
127. We're in the same econ class.
Copy !req
128. According to the Greeks...
Copy !req
129. Orion the Hunter is greater in strength
and stature than any other mortal.
Copy !req
130. I thought I was the only one
who knew astronomy.
Copy !req
131. I'm a science geek.
Copy !req
132. You don't look like one.
Copy !req
133. Thanks.
Copy !req
134. So I spent the whole movie wondering
what else you can do...
Copy !req
135. other than punch through steel.
Copy !req
136. What do you mean?
Copy !req
137. Come on, Clark.
Copy !req
138. I know you managed to fry
that security camera. I just...
Copy !req
139. I can't figure out exactly how.
Copy !req
140. With my eyes. They give off heat.
Copy !req
141. That's incredible.
Copy !req
142. Have you ever shown Lana
what you can do?
Copy !req
143. No.
Copy !req
144. It's actually one of our issues. I didn't feel
I could be completely honest with her.
Copy !req
145. Like you are with me?
Copy !req
146. So how about you?
Copy !req
147. Any boyfriends or...?
Copy !req
148. There was this boy,
and I really liked him...
Copy !req
149. but then he found out what I can do,
and he totally freaked.
Copy !req
150. What he thought...
Copy !req
151. doesn't matter.
Copy !req
152. Looks like someone stayed up.
I hope they didn't worry.
Copy !req
153. Yeah, my parents are a little...
Copy !req
154. overprotective.
Copy !req
155. Really?
Copy !req
156. Yeah, they don't really understand
everything about my abilities.
Copy !req
157. For a while, they tried
to keep me from doing it.
Copy !req
158. How?
Copy !req
159. I don't really want to talk about it.
Copy !req
160. Okay.
Copy !req
161. What about your parents?
Copy !req
162. My parents are great.
Copy !req
163. They worry about me, that someone might
find out, but they don't try to change me.
Copy !req
164. Well, maybe that's why you're so special.
Copy !req
165. Clark...
Copy !req
166. I just want you to know...
Copy !req
167. that I had a really good time tonight.
Copy !req
168. Me too.
Copy !req
169. Yeah.
Copy !req
170. Okay.
Copy !req
171. I guess...
Copy !req
172. - I'll see you later.
- Okay.
Copy !req
173. Okay.
Copy !req
174. Alicia.
Copy !req
175. Sorry. I didn't want to scare you. I just...
Copy !req
176. - wanted to surprise you.
- What are you doing here?
Copy !req
177. When you dropped me off, I could tell
that you didn't want the night to end...
Copy !req
178. and neither did I, so...
Copy !req
179. Alicia, I...
Copy !req
180. I know you wanted to kiss me, Clark.
Copy !req
181. - Alicia...
- Just kiss me.
Copy !req
182. Hey, what'd you do, fall out of ...?
Copy !req
183. Dad.
Copy !req
184. I don't know, Martha, it's what we've
always discussed. We have rules in this house...
Copy !req
185. boundaries, limitations.
Copy !req
186. Clark knows that. I don't understand...
Copy !req
187. Jonathan.
Copy !req
188. She's gone.
Copy !req
189. What did she do, Clark,
climb out the window?
Copy !req
190. Actually, she teleported out.
Copy !req
191. You're gonna have to run that
by me one more time.
Copy !req
192. Alicia was infected by the meteor shower.
Copy !req
193. She can transport herself
wherever she wants.
Copy !req
194. Including boys' bedrooms.
Copy !req
195. Look, Alicia saved me.
Copy !req
196. We were trapped in the LuthorCorp
elevator, and the cable broke...
Copy !req
197. and I had to stop it.
Copy !req
198. So Alicia saw you use your powers?
Copy !req
199. Yes.
Copy !req
200. How much does she know
about you, Clark?
Copy !req
201. She knows about the strength...
Copy !req
202. and...
the heat vision.
Copy !req
203. I suppose the next thing you'll tell us is she
knows you get sick around meteor rocks.
Copy !req
204. No, I didn't tell her that.
Copy !req
205. She didn't have to help me.
Copy !req
206. She was willing to expose
her own secret to protect mine...
Copy !req
207. and I think that's why I feel
such a connection to her.
Copy !req
208. Look, you guys don't get this.
Copy !req
209. We're a lot alike.
Copy !req
210. You really like this girl,
don't you, honey?
Copy !req
211. Maybe I do.
Copy !req
212. I think I found someone I could
actually have a relationship with.
Copy !req
213. Clark, I know we've had
our differences lately.
Copy !req
214. - But I can't believe you didn't tell me.
- Tell you what?
Copy !req
215. That your dad caught you and Alicia
in your bedroom, that's what.
Copy !req
216. The only people who knew about that
were me, my parents and Alicia.
Copy !req
217. Well, I guess she's not
as secretive as you are.
Copy !req
218. Anyway, man, that girl is on fire.
Copy !req
219. Congratulations.
Copy !req
220. Later, stud.
Copy !req
221. Yeah.
Copy !req
222. Good morning, gorgeous.
Copy !req
223. Alicia. Look, we need to talk.
Copy !req
224. What's wrong?
Copy !req
225. Well, last night in my room,
and these pictures...
Copy !req
226. Don't you like them?
Copy !req
227. No, I do. It's just...
Copy !req
228. I just think we're moving a little too fast.
Copy !req
229. You said you had a great time last night.
Copy !req
230. You kissed me.
Copy !req
231. No...
Copy !req
232. I did, and I did.
Copy !req
233. I just think that maybe
we need to set some boundaries...
Copy !req
234. you know, maybe some limitations.
Copy !req
235. We're special, Clark.
Copy !req
236. People like us don't have
boundaries and limitations.
Copy !req
237. I'll see you later, sweetie.
Copy !req
238. Yeah.
Copy !req
239. I'll be thinking about you.
Copy !req
240. You go on one date with this girl...
Copy !req
241. and already she's sneaking
into your bedroom...
Copy !req
242. putting sexy pictures
of herself in your locker...
Copy !req
243. practically asking her parents
to book the wedding chapel.
Copy !req
244. What's your secret, Clark?
Copy !req
245. This isn't funny, Lex.
Copy !req
246. We barely know each other.
She's already acting like we're soul mates.
Copy !req
247. Look, in my experience, a person doesn't
develop this kind of fixation...
Copy !req
248. unless she's been led to think
the relationship is more than just casual.
Copy !req
249. You're saying I led her on.
Copy !req
250. I'm saying I've been there.
Copy !req
251. She's smart, she's pretty,
and you want her to like you...
Copy !req
252. so you tell her things
she wants to hear.
Copy !req
253. I'm curious. What exactly did you do
to make her feel this way?
Copy !req
254. You're making my point for me.
Copy !req
255. So, what do I do now?
Copy !req
256. You must be Clark. Come in, come in.
Copy !req
257. Alicia's not here right now.
Copy !req
258. Honey.
Copy !req
259. Look who's here. It's Clark.
Copy !req
260. Clark.
Copy !req
261. She's... She's told us so much about you...
Copy !req
262. and, well, we're just thrilled
that's she's dating such a nice young man.
Copy !req
263. Actually, that's why I'm here.
I think she has the wrong idea about us.
Copy !req
264. No, I'm pretty sure that you're mistaken.
Copy !req
265. - She said you're her boyfriend.
- That's the thing. I'm...
Copy !req
266. No, if she says you're dating...
Copy !req
267. well, just go along with it.
Copy !req
268. Alicia's a special girl.
Copy !req
269. I know about Alicia. Her ability...
Copy !req
270. She said you tried to stop her
from using it. How?
Copy !req
271. We kept her in a special room.
Copy !req
272. But she begged us to let her out.
Copy !req
273. She promised she wouldn't
abuse her power.
Copy !req
274. Now we never know where she is
or what she'll do.
Copy !req
275. Please, Clark, just try
to go along with her.
Copy !req
276. If you see Alicia,
please tell her I'm looking for her.
Copy !req
277. Clark.
Copy !req
278. There was another boy
that Alicia liked a lot.
Copy !req
279. It didn't end well.
Copy !req
280. Be careful.
Copy !req
281. Alicia.
Copy !req
282. You shouldn't have said that, Daddy.
Copy !req
283. I'm sorry to bother you with this,
but I didn't know where else to turn.
Copy !req
284. It's all right, Lana.
I trust your instincts.
Copy !req
285. Look, if you're nervous about Adam,
I'm sure it's with good reason.
Copy !req
286. Is there anything concrete
you can tell me?
Copy !req
287. No, not really. Just the journal
that I told you about and his attitude.
Copy !req
288. Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
Copy !req
289. I checked the laws...
Copy !req
290. and it can take up
to six months to get him out...
Copy !req
291. and I'm not willing to wait that long.
Copy !req
292. Believe me, there are definitely ways
of getting rid of someone...
Copy !req
293. a lot faster than that.
Copy !req
294. - Hey.
- Alicia.
Copy !req
295. What's going on?
Copy !req
296. I got your message.
My parents said you wanted to see me.
Copy !req
297. So here I am.
Copy !req
298. Well, that wasn't an invitation
to redecorate or to go through my stuff.
Copy !req
299. I thought you'd like what I did
to the loft. It's...
Copy !req
300. It's more us now.
Copy !req
301. What's this all about?
Copy !req
302. Clark, it's time to move on.
Copy !req
303. I know you used to go out with Lana,
but now you're with me.
Copy !req
304. There's no us.
Copy !req
305. Of course there is.
Copy !req
306. We're special.
Copy !req
307. We're made for each other.
Copy !req
308. You didn't tell Lana your secret.
You told me.
Copy !req
309. You and I are meant to be together.
Copy !req
310. Hello.
Copy !req
311. Yes.
Copy !req
312. It's my father.
Copy !req
313. He's at the hospital.
Copy !req
314. He fell down the stairs.
Copy !req
315. Miss Baker...
Copy !req
316. may I have a word?
Copy !req
317. What is it?
Copy !req
318. Can you think of anyone
who would want to hurt your father?
Copy !req
319. I thought it was an accident.
Copy !req
320. There was a suspicious-looking
blunt trauma...
Copy !req
321. to the back of Mr. Baker's head.
Copy !req
322. It's possible there was an assailant.
Copy !req
323. Possible?
Copy !req
324. The basement was locked from the inside.
Copy !req
325. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
326. It's fine.
Copy !req
327. Alicia, listen to me.
Copy !req
328. I need to know. Did you have
anything to do with this?
Copy !req
329. How could you think that?
Copy !req
330. Who else could escape
from a locked basement?
Copy !req
331. I did it for us.
Copy !req
332. He was trying to keep us apart.
Copy !req
333. You need to talk to the sheriff.
Copy !req
334. No.
Copy !req
335. Clark. Hi.
Copy !req
336. I stopped by to see you, and your mom
asked me to stay for dinner.
Copy !req
337. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
338. I'm just getting to know your family.
Copy !req
339. You need to turn yourself in.
Copy !req
340. You're my boyfriend.
Copy !req
341. You're supposed to be protecting me.
Like I protected you.
Copy !req
342. As long as you do that,
your secret's safe.
Copy !req
343. - And so are the people you care about.
- Is that a threat?
Copy !req
344. Tell your mom I'm sorry I couldn't stay.
Copy !req
345. I'm really sorry she
went all Glenn Close on you.
Copy !req
346. I should've told you about Alicia's ability
before, but she asked me to keep it secret.
Copy !req
347. Yeah, and I respect you
for keeping her confidence...
Copy !req
348. but once she went psycho,
all bets are off.
Copy !req
349. So how do you look for someone
who can disappear in the blink of an eye?
Copy !req
350. Well...
Copy !req
351. we know that Alicia has
at least one weakness.
Copy !req
352. You.
Copy !req
353. She may have one more.
Copy !req
354. Chloe, I have an idea.
Copy !req
355. I'm gonna need your help.
Copy !req
356. Mrs. Baker? I'm Chloe Sullivan.
I need to speak with Alicia, please.
Copy !req
357. - It's urgent.
- What's wrong?
Copy !req
358. It's her boyfriend, Clark. He's in trouble.
Copy !req
359. What do you mean?
Copy !req
360. What is it?
Copy !req
361. Sheriff Adams suspects he may have had
something to do with your father's accident.
Copy !req
362. - Alicia...
- Mother.
Copy !req
363. Why would the sheriff suspect Clark?
Copy !req
364. She has this theory that Clark was angry
with your father...
Copy !req
365. for not allowing you guys
to be together.
Copy !req
366. Is he under arrest?
Copy !req
367. No, he's in hiding.
Copy !req
368. He asked me to find you
and tell you he needs help.
Copy !req
369. I don't understand why but...
Copy !req
370. he said you were his only chance.
Copy !req
371. Where is he now?
Copy !req
372. Clark?
Copy !req
373. Clark?
Copy !req
374. Alicia?
Copy !req
375. Clark, are you okay?
Copy !req
376. They're after me. The sheriff thinks
I tried to kill your father.
Copy !req
377. I know.
Copy !req
378. - You have to tell them the truth.
- No, I can't do that.
Copy !req
379. Alicia...
Copy !req
380. - We'll disappear.
- What?
Copy !req
381. We'll go somewhere
where no one will find us.
Copy !req
382. Yeah. I guess that's the only way.
Copy !req
383. Come on.
Copy !req
384. Quick, someone's coming. Come on.
Copy !req
385. Lead paint?
Copy !req
386. Are you trying to trap me...
Copy !req
387. like my parents did, in that little room?
Copy !req
388. Alicia, what you did
to your father was wrong.
Copy !req
389. You're just trying to get me out
of the way so you can be with Lana.
Copy !req
390. Alicia, you need help.
Copy !req
391. Don't you understand?
Copy !req
392. I'm the one that's right for you.
Copy !req
393. No, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
394. The police are already on their way.
Copy !req
395. Just because I can't teleport
out of this room...
Copy !req
396. doesn't mean that I can't walk out.
Copy !req
397. I overheard you talking to your parents.
Copy !req
398. I hoped that I wouldn't have to use it,
but you broke the rules first.
Copy !req
399. Please.
Copy !req
400. Alicia, don't do this.
Copy !req
401. Come here.
Copy !req
402. Once Lana's out of the way...
Copy !req
403. you'll realize we
were meant to be together.
Copy !req
404. We can still be great together, Clark.
Copy !req
405. We're soul mates,
and nothing can stop that.
Copy !req
406. What is it about you, Lana?
Copy !req
407. EXcuse me?
Copy !req
408. What is it that Clark Kent is so in love with?
Copy !req
409. I mean, what have you got
that I haven't got?
Copy !req
410. I have no idea what you're talking about.
Copy !req
411. I think you do.
Copy !req
412. Tell me, Lana.
Copy !req
413. What's your secret?
Copy !req
414. You're not prettier than I am.
Copy !req
415. And you're definitely not smarter.
Copy !req
416. And you certainly
don't have my abilities.
Copy !req
417. Alicia, there is nothing going on
between me and Clark.
Copy !req
418. Oh, yes, there is...
Copy !req
419. because Clark is still in love with you.
Copy !req
420. But now it's my turn.
Copy !req
421. He told me the truth about himself.
Copy !req
422. The things that he wouldn't tell you.
Copy !req
423. And now you'll never know.
Copy !req
424. Alicia!
Copy !req
425. Lana. Lana.
Copy !req
426. Clark.
Copy !req
427. Why, Clark?
Copy !req
428. Why?
Copy !req
429. - Hey.
- Hi.
Copy !req
430. - Can I come in?
- Yeah, come on in.
Copy !req
431. I just wanted to thank you.
Copy !req
432. You know, I think I should apologize.
Copy !req
433. - If I never got involved with Alicia...
- Alicia said that you...
Copy !req
434. You told her the truth about yourself.
Copy !req
435. Stuff you never told me.
Copy !req
436. What did she mean by that?
Copy !req
437. You know, Alicia said
a lot of crazy things.
Copy !req
438. She also said that you
were still in love with me.
Copy !req
439. But that was crazy too, right?
Copy !req
440. Right.
Copy !req
441. Lana, hi.
Copy !req
442. Would you like to stay for dinner?
Copy !req
443. Thanks, Mrs. Kent, but...
Copy !req
444. But I can't.
Copy !req
445. - Well, bye.
- Bye.
Copy !req
446. Clark, honey, someday, you'll find
the person who's right for you.
Copy !req
447. For a while, I thought that person was Lana,
but I could never be honest with her.
Copy !req
448. And then I thought it was Alicia
because she was like me...
Copy !req
449. Sweetheart, there's nobody
like you. You're...
Copy !req
450. Maybe that means I'll always be alone.
Copy !req
451. Hello? Adam?
Copy !req
452. Lana.
Copy !req
453. Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.
Copy !req
454. They told me you were up here.
Copy !req
455. Lex, thank you. I feel like
this huge burden's been lifted.
Copy !req
456. What do you mean?
Copy !req
457. Well, Adam's gone.
Copy !req
458. I really appreciate your help.
Copy !req
459. Lana, as much as I'd like to take credit
for getting him out of your life...
Copy !req
460. I can't.
Copy !req
461. My security people haven't been able
to track him down.
Copy !req
462. Well, if you didn't get rid of him,
then where is he?
Copy !req
463. Adam.
Copy !req
464. Hello?
Copy !req
465. Why did I send you to Smallville?
Copy !req
466. To become the best friend of Lana Lang.
Copy !req
467. To find out everything she knew
about Clark Kent. Wasn't that it?
Copy !req
468. Instead, you have alienated her completely.
Copy !req
469. Mr. Luthor, his medication is ready.
Copy !req
470. That won't be necessary, Dr. Teng.
Copy !req
471. - He needs the serum, or he'll die.
- I'm sorry. I've already made my decision.
Copy !req
472. This patient is no longer a participant
in our research program.
Copy !req
473. Help me.
Copy !req
474. Please.
Copy !req
475. Help me.
Copy !req
476. No!
Copy !req
477. No.
Copy !req
478. No!
Copy !req
479. Help me!
Copy !req
480. Help me!
