Copy !req
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'd crawl down all 39 stories if this field trip
didn't count toward our final grade.
Copy !req
22. Welcome to the Lionel Luthor eXhibit.
Copy !req
23. Next floor: victims, sycophants
and hatchet men.
Copy !req
24. How about I split up
this jaded little fan club?
Copy !req
25. Mr. Kent, take the neXt car.
Copy !req
26. Elevators.
Copy !req
27. Too much demand, not enough supply.
Copy !req
28. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
29. What did you just do?
Copy !req
30. Please, don't tell anyone about this.
Copy !req
31. Hello! Hello! Is anybody in there?
Copy !req
32. This is LuthorCorp security.
Remain calm.
Copy !req
33. If anybody's in there,
we're working to get you out!
Copy !req
34. Hang on!
Copy !req
35. What did you just do?
Copy !req
36. You didn't want to get caught,
and I wanted to help, so...
Copy !req
37. Clark, now you know my secret too.
Copy !req
38. You can't tell anybody.
Copy !req
39. - Please.
- Are you two all right?
Copy !req
40. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, we're okay.
Copy !req
41. The elevator crashed
just as we got out of the doors.
Copy !req
42. - Sounded like the cable broke.
- How?
Copy !req
43. I don't know, Chloe.
Copy !req
44. - Are you all right?
- Yeah, I'm okay.
Copy !req
45. Thank you.
Copy !req
46. Smallville - Season 03 - Episode 14 - Obsession
Copy !req
47. Alicia, hold on!
Copy !req
48. I didn't get a chance
to thank you yesterday.
Copy !req
49. Oh, it was my pleasure.
Copy !req
50. It was actually kind of a relief to be able
to share my ability with someone.
Copy !req
51. Is that what it takes
to be friends with you?
Copy !req
52. I guess I deserved that.
Copy !req
53. I'm not really as stuck-up
as everyone thinks.
Copy !req
54. What, you think I don't know
what people say about me?
Copy !req
55. It doesn't bother you, huh?
Copy !req
56. I'm always so afraid that if I get
too close to people they'll...
Copy !req
57. they'll find out about me,
realize that I'm a freak.
Copy !req
58. I just figure it's better to be alone,
even if people think I'm a snob.
Copy !req
59. You don't mind if I ask...
Have you always been able to...?
Copy !req
60. No. It was the meteor shower.
Copy !req
61. One minute I was swinging on the swing set,
next I'm in the middle of a corn field.
Copy !req
62. Do you know how it happened?
Copy !req
63. Sort of. I mean, once I was old enough
to realize I was different...
Copy !req
64. I did some research and ...
Thank you.
Copy !req
65. I don't know. There's a complicated
explanation about quantum physics.
Copy !req
66. - You'd probably be bored.
- No.
Copy !req
67. Try me.
Copy !req
68. Basically, the meteor shower
affected my body...
Copy !req
69. and allowed me to teleport myself.
Copy !req
70. And anything you touch.
Copy !req
71. And anything I touch
I want to take with me. Yes.
Copy !req
72. What about you?
Was it meteor eXposure too?
Copy !req
73. Everything's pretty much connected
to the meteor shower.
Copy !req
74. Right?
Copy !req
75. Right.
Copy !req
76. I just can't believe you're like me.
Copy !req
77. I mean, not eXactly like me, but just...
Copy !req
78. like me.
Copy !req
79. You know?
Copy !req
80. Yeah. I do.
Copy !req
81. Bye.
Copy !req
82. Adam?
Copy !req
83. Lana.
Copy !req
84. What are you doing?
Copy !req
85. - Adam, what is this?
- It's private. Give it back to me.
Copy !req
86. No.
Copy !req
87. "January 11 th. Lana evasive
about her relationship with Clark.
Copy !req
88. January 17th. Clark is at the scene
of another accident."
Copy !req
89. You've been spying on me,
and you've been spying on Clark.
Copy !req
90. Look who's talking.
Copy !req
91. No, you threatened me, and now I find out
you've been keeping tabs on me?
Copy !req
92. I want you to leave.
Copy !req
93. Guess you haven't checked tenant laws.
Copy !req
94. It's not that easy to evict someone.
Copy !req
95. I'm not going anywhere.
Copy !req
96. Alicia.
Copy !req
97. Hey.
Copy !req
98. I've been looking all over for you.
Copy !req
99. Yeah, you figured teleporting girl,
physics lab.
Copy !req
100. It makes sense.
That's a pretty good deduction.
Copy !req
101. But I should warn you, Clark,
I'm not always that easy to pin down.
Copy !req
102. So I've seen.
Copy !req
103. But since I've been this lucky...
Copy !req
104. I was just wondering if you'd like...
Copy !req
105. to get together,
you know, for the econ test.
Copy !req
106. Are you asking me out on a date?
Copy !req
107. A date? No.
Copy !req
108. Not that I wouldn't, but...
Copy !req
109. Clark...
Copy !req
110. would you like to go out
on a date with me?
Copy !req
111. Did you just win the lotto?
Copy !req
112. What?
Copy !req
113. No, it's just ... I haven't seen you
smile like that in a long time.
Copy !req
114. Look, I ... I don't want to spoil your mood...
Copy !req
115. but I wanted to tell you
something about Adam.
Copy !req
116. What is it?
Copy !req
117. He's been keeping a journal about me.
Copy !req
118. And you. And I don't know if it's because
he's jealous or he's obsessed with us...
Copy !req
119. or if...
Copy !req
120. If it's more about you.
Copy !req
121. - Well, I'll go talk to him.
- Clark, no, I'm gonna have him evicted.
Copy !req
122. I don't think he'll bother
either of us anymore. I just...
Copy !req
123. wanted to give you a heads up.
Copy !req
124. See you at 7?
Copy !req
125. Hey, Lana.
Copy !req
126. We're in the same econ class.
Copy !req
127. According to the Greeks...
Copy !req
128. Orion the Hunter is greater in strength
and stature than any other mortal.
Copy !req
129. I thought I was the only one
who knew astronomy.
Copy !req
130. I'm a science geek.
Copy !req
131. You don't look like one.
Copy !req
132. Thanks.
Copy !req
133. So I spent the whole movie wondering
what else you can do...
Copy !req
134. other than punch through steel.
Copy !req
135. What do you mean?
Copy !req
136. Come on, Clark.
Copy !req
137. I know you managed to fry
that security camera. I just...
Copy !req
138. I can't figure out eXactly how.
Copy !req
139. With my eyes. They give off heat.
Copy !req
140. That's incredible.
Copy !req
141. Have you ever shown Lana
what you can do?
Copy !req
142. No.
Copy !req
143. It's actually one of our issues. I didn't feel
I could be completely honest with her.
Copy !req
144. Like you are with me?
Copy !req
145. So how about you?
Copy !req
146. Any boyfriends or...?
Copy !req
147. There was this boy,
and I really liked him...
Copy !req
148. but then he found out what I can do,
and he totally freaked.
Copy !req
149. What he thought...
Copy !req
150. doesn't matter.
Copy !req
151. Looks like someone stayed up.
I hope they didn't worry.
Copy !req
152. Yeah, my parents are a little...
Copy !req
153. overprotective.
Copy !req
154. Really?
Copy !req
155. Yeah, they don't really understand
everything about my abilities.
Copy !req
156. For a while, they tried
to keep me from doing it.
Copy !req
157. How?
Copy !req
158. I don't really want to talk about it.
Copy !req
159. Okay.
Copy !req
160. What about your parents?
Copy !req
161. My parents are great.
Copy !req
162. They worry about me, that someone might
find out, but they don't try to change me.
Copy !req
163. Well, maybe that's why you're so special.
Copy !req
164. Clark...
Copy !req
165. I just want you to know...
Copy !req
166. that I had a really good time tonight.
Copy !req
167. Me too.
Copy !req
168. Yeah.
Copy !req
169. Okay.
Copy !req
170. I guess...
Copy !req
171. - I'll see you later.
- Okay.
Copy !req
172. Okay.
Copy !req
173. Alicia.
Copy !req
174. Sorry. I didn't want to scare you. I just...
Copy !req
175. - ... wanted to surprise you.
- What are you doing here?
Copy !req
176. When you dropped me off, I could tell
that you didn't want the night to end...
Copy !req
177. and neither did l, so...
Copy !req
178. Alicia, l...
Copy !req
179. I know you wanted to kiss me, Clark.
Copy !req
180. - Alicia...
- Just kiss me.
Copy !req
181. Hey, what'd you do, fall out of ...?
Copy !req
182. Dad.
Copy !req
183. I don't know, Martha, it's what we've
always discussed. We have rules in this house ...
Copy !req
184. boundaries, limitations.
Copy !req
185. Clark knows that. I don't understand ...
Copy !req
186. Jonathan.
Copy !req
187. She's gone.
Copy !req
188. What did she do, Clark,
climb out the window?
Copy !req
189. Actually, she teleported out.
Copy !req
190. You're gonna have to run that
by me one more time.
Copy !req
191. Alicia was infected by the meteor shower.
Copy !req
192. She can transport herself
wherever she wants.
Copy !req
193. Including boys' bedrooms.
Copy !req
194. Look, Alicia saved me.
Copy !req
195. We were trapped in the LuthorCorp
elevator, and the cable broke...
Copy !req
196. and I had to stop it.
Copy !req
197. So Alicia saw you use your powers?
Copy !req
198. Yes.
Copy !req
199. How much does she know
about you, Clark?
Copy !req
200. She knows about the strength...
Copy !req
201. and ...
the heat vision.
Copy !req
202. I suppose the next thing you'll tell us is she
knows you get sick around meteor rocks.
Copy !req
203. No, I didn't tell her that.
Copy !req
204. She didn't have to help me.
Copy !req
205. She was willing to expose
her own secret to protect mine...
Copy !req
206. and I think that's why I feel
such a connection to her.
Copy !req
207. Look, you guys don't get this.
Copy !req
208. We're a lot alike.
Copy !req
209. You really like this girl,
don't you, honey?
Copy !req
210. Maybe I do.
Copy !req
211. I think I found someone I could
actually have a relationship with.
Copy !req
212. Clark, I know we've had
our differences lately.
Copy !req
213. - But I can't believe you didn't tell me.
- Tell you what?
Copy !req
214. That your dad caught you and Alicia
in your bedroom, that's what.
Copy !req
215. The only people who knew about that
were me, my parents and Alicia.
Copy !req
216. Well, I guess she's not
as secretive as you are.
Copy !req
217. Anyway, man, that girl is on fire.
Copy !req
218. Congratulations.
Copy !req
219. Later, stud.
Copy !req
220. Yeah.
Copy !req
221. Good morning, gorgeous.
Copy !req
222. Alicia. Look, we need to talk.
Copy !req
223. What's wrong?
Copy !req
224. Well, last night in my room,
and these pictures...
Copy !req
225. Don't you like them?
Copy !req
226. No, I do. It's just...
Copy !req
227. I just think we're moving a little too fast.
Copy !req
228. You said you had a great time last night.
Copy !req
229. You kissed me.
Copy !req
230. No...
Copy !req
231. I did, and I did.
Copy !req
232. I just think that maybe
we need to set some boundaries...
Copy !req
233. you know, maybe some limitations.
Copy !req
234. We're special, Clark.
Copy !req
235. People like us don't have
boundaries and limitations.
Copy !req
236. I'll see you later, sweetie.
Copy !req
237. Yeah.
Copy !req
238. I'll be thinking about you.
Copy !req
239. You go on one date with this girl...
Copy !req
240. and already she's sneaking
into your bedroom...
Copy !req
241. putting sexy pictures
of herself in your locker...
Copy !req
242. practically asking her parents
to book the wedding chapel.
Copy !req
243. What's your secret, Clark?
Copy !req
244. This isn't funny, LeX.
Copy !req
245. We barely know each other.
She's already acting like we're soul mates.
Copy !req
246. Look, in my experience, a person doesn't
develop this kind of fixation...
Copy !req
247. unless she's been led to think
the relationship is more than just casual.
Copy !req
248. You're saying I led her on.
Copy !req
249. I'm saying I've been there.
Copy !req
250. She's smart, she's pretty,
and you want her to like you...
Copy !req
251. so you tell her things
she wants to hear.
Copy !req
252. I'm curious. What exactly did you do
to make her feel this way?
Copy !req
253. You're making my point for me.
Copy !req
254. So, what do I do now?
Copy !req
255. You must be Clark. Come in, come in.
Copy !req
256. Alicia's not here right now.
Copy !req
257. Honey.
Copy !req
258. Look who's here. It's Clark.
Copy !req
259. Clark.
Copy !req
260. She's ... She's told us so much about you...
Copy !req
261. and, well, we're just thrilled
that's she's dating such a nice young man.
Copy !req
262. Actually, that's why I'm here.
I think she has the wrong idea about us.
Copy !req
263. No, I'm pretty sure that you're mistaken.
Copy !req
264. - She said you're her boyfriend.
- That's the thing. I'm ...
Copy !req
265. No, if she says you're dating...
Copy !req
266. well, just go along with it.
Copy !req
267. Alicia's a special girl.
Copy !req
268. I know about Alicia. Her ability...
Copy !req
269. She said you tried to stop her
from using it. How?
Copy !req
270. We kept her in a special room.
Copy !req
271. But she begged us to let her out.
Copy !req
272. She promised she wouldn't
abuse her power.
Copy !req
273. Now we never know where she is
or what she'll do.
Copy !req
274. Please, Clark, just try
to go along with her.
Copy !req
275. If you see Alicia,
please tell her I'm looking for her.
Copy !req
276. Clark.
Copy !req
277. There was another boy
that Alicia liked a lot.
Copy !req
278. It didn't end well.
Copy !req
279. Be careful.
Copy !req
280. Alicia.
Copy !req
281. You shouldn't have said that, Daddy.
Copy !req
282. I'm sorry to bother you with this,
but I didn't know where else to turn.
Copy !req
283. It's all right, Lana.
I trust your instincts.
Copy !req
284. Look, if you're nervous about Adam,
I'm sure it's with good reason.
Copy !req
285. Is there anything concrete
you can tell me?
Copy !req
286. No, not really. Just the journal
that I told you about and his attitude.
Copy !req
287. Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
Copy !req
288. I checked the laws...
Copy !req
289. and it can take up
to six months to get him out...
Copy !req
290. and I'm not willing to wait that long.
Copy !req
291. Believe me, there are definitely ways
of getting rid of someone...
Copy !req
292. a lot faster than that.
Copy !req
293. - Hey.
- Alicia.
Copy !req
294. What's going on?
Copy !req
295. I got your message.
My parents said you wanted to see me.
Copy !req
296. So here I am.
Copy !req
297. Well, that wasn't an invitation
to redecorate or to go through my stuff.
Copy !req
298. I thought you'd like what I did
to the loft. It's ...
Copy !req
299. It's more us now.
Copy !req
300. What's this all about?
Copy !req
301. Clark, it's time to move on.
Copy !req
302. I know you used to go out with Lana,
but now you're with me.
Copy !req
303. There's no us.
Copy !req
304. Of course there is.
Copy !req
305. We're special.
Copy !req
306. We're made for each other.
Copy !req
307. You didn't tell Lana your secret.
You told me.
Copy !req
308. You and I are meant to be together.
Copy !req
309. Hello.
Copy !req
310. Yes.
Copy !req
311. It's my father.
Copy !req
312. He's at the hospital.
Copy !req
313. He fell down the stairs.
Copy !req
314. Miss Baker...
Copy !req
315. may I have a word?
Copy !req
316. What is it?
Copy !req
317. Can you think of anyone
who would want to hurt your father?
Copy !req
318. I thought it was an accident.
Copy !req
319. There was a suspicious-looking
blunt trauma...
Copy !req
320. to the back of Mr. Baker's head.
Copy !req
321. It's possible there was an assailant.
Copy !req
322. Possible?
Copy !req
323. The basement was locked from the inside.
Copy !req
324. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
325. It's fine.
Copy !req
326. Alicia, listen to me.
Copy !req
327. I need to know. Did you have
anything to do with this?
Copy !req
328. How could you think that?
Copy !req
329. Who else could escape
from a locked basement?
Copy !req
330. I did it for us.
Copy !req
331. He was trying to keep us apart.
Copy !req
332. You need to talk to the sheriff.
Copy !req
333. No.
Copy !req
334. Clark. Hi.
Copy !req
335. I stopped by to see you, and your mom
asked me to stay for dinner.
Copy !req
336. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
337. I'm just getting to know your family.
Copy !req
338. You need to turn yourself in.
Copy !req
339. You're my boyfriend.
Copy !req
340. You're supposed to be protecting me.
Like I protected you.
Copy !req
341. As long as you do that,
your secret's safe.
Copy !req
342. - And so are the people you care about.
- Is that a threat?
Copy !req
343. Tell your mom I'm sorry I couldn't stay.
Copy !req
344. I'm really sorry she
went all Glenn Close on you.
Copy !req
345. I should've told you about Alicia's ability
before, but she asked me to keep it secret.
Copy !req
346. Yeah, and I respect you
for keeping her confidence...
Copy !req
347. but once she went psycho,
all bets are off.
Copy !req
348. So how do you look for someone
who can disappear in the blink of an eye?
Copy !req
349. Well...
Copy !req
350. we know that Alicia has
at least one weakness.
Copy !req
351. You.
Copy !req
352. She may have one more.
Copy !req
353. Chloe, I have an idea.
Copy !req
354. I'm gonna need your help.
Copy !req
355. Mrs. Baker? I'm Chloe Sullivan.
I need to speak with Alicia, please.
Copy !req
356. - It's urgent.
- What's wrong?
Copy !req
357. It's her boyfriend, Clark. He's in trouble.
Copy !req
358. What do you mean?
Copy !req
359. What is it?
Copy !req
360. Sheriff Adams suspects he may have had
something to do with your father's accident.
Copy !req
361. - Alicia ...
- Mother.
Copy !req
362. Why would the sheriff suspect Clark?
Copy !req
363. She has this theory that Clark was angry
with your father...
Copy !req
364. for not allowing you guys
to be together.
Copy !req
365. Is he under arrest?
Copy !req
366. No, he's in hiding.
Copy !req
367. He asked me to find you
and tell you he needs help.
Copy !req
368. I don't understand why but ...
Copy !req
369. he said you were his only chance.
Copy !req
370. Where is he now?
Copy !req
371. Clark?
Copy !req
372. Clark?
Copy !req
373. Alicia?
Copy !req
374. Clark, are you okay?
Copy !req
375. They're after me. The sheriff thinks
I tried to kill your father.
Copy !req
376. I know.
Copy !req
377. - You have to tell them the truth.
- No, I can't do that.
Copy !req
378. Alicia...
Copy !req
379. - We'll disappear.
- What?
Copy !req
380. We'll go somewhere
where no one will find us.
Copy !req
381. Yeah. I guess that's the only way.
Copy !req
382. Come on.
Copy !req
383. Quick, someone's coming. Come on.
Copy !req
384. Lead paint?
Copy !req
385. Are you trying to trap me...
Copy !req
386. like my parents did, in that little room?
Copy !req
387. Alicia, what you did
to your father was wrong.
Copy !req
388. You're just trying to get me out
of the way so you can be with Lana.
Copy !req
389. Alicia, you need help.
Copy !req
390. Don't you understand?
Copy !req
391. I'm the one that's right for you.
Copy !req
392. No, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
393. The police are already on their way.
Copy !req
394. Just because I can't teleport
out of this room...
Copy !req
395. doesn't mean that I can't walk out.
Copy !req
396. I overheard you talking to your parents.
Copy !req
397. I hoped that I wouldn't have to use it,
but you broke the rules first.
Copy !req
398. Please.
Copy !req
399. Alicia, don't do this.
Copy !req
400. Come here.
Copy !req
401. Once Lana's out of the way...
Copy !req
402. you'll realize we
were meant to be together.
Copy !req
403. We can still be great together, Clark.
Copy !req
404. We're soul mates,
and nothing can stop that.
Copy !req
405. What is it about you, Lana?
Copy !req
406. EXcuse me?
Copy !req
407. What is it that Clark Kent is so in love with?
Copy !req
408. I mean, what have you got
that I haven't got?
Copy !req
409. I have no idea what you're talking about.
Copy !req
410. I think you do.
Copy !req
411. Tell me, Lana.
Copy !req
412. What's your secret?
Copy !req
413. You're not prettier than I am.
Copy !req
414. And you're definitely not smarter.
Copy !req
415. And you certainly
don't have my abilities.
Copy !req
416. Alicia, there is nothing going on
between me and Clark.
Copy !req
417. Oh, yes, there is...
Copy !req
418. because Clark is still in love with you.
Copy !req
419. But now it's my turn.
Copy !req
420. He told me the truth about himself.
Copy !req
421. The things that he wouldn't tell you.
Copy !req
422. And now you'll never know.
Copy !req
423. Alicia!
Copy !req
424. Lana. Lana.
Copy !req
425. Clark.
Copy !req
426. Why, Clark?
Copy !req
427. Why?
Copy !req
428. - Hey.
- Hi.
Copy !req
429. - Can I come in?
- Yeah, come on in.
Copy !req
430. I just wanted to thank you.
Copy !req
431. You know, I think I should apologize.
Copy !req
432. - if I never got involved with Alicia ...
- Alicia said that you...
Copy !req
433. You told her the truth about yourself.
Copy !req
434. Stuff you never told me.
Copy !req
435. What did she mean by that?
Copy !req
436. You know, Alicia said
a lot of crazy things.
Copy !req
437. She also said that you
were still in love with me.
Copy !req
438. But that was crazy too, right?
Copy !req
439. Right.
Copy !req
440. Lana, hi.
Copy !req
441. Would you like to stay for dinner?
Copy !req
442. Thanks, Mrs. Kent, but...
Copy !req
443. But I can't.
Copy !req
444. - Well, bye.
- Bye.
Copy !req
445. Clark, honey, someday, you'll find
the person who's right for you.
Copy !req
446. For a while, I thought that person was Lana,
but I could never be honest with her.
Copy !req
447. And then I thought it was Alicia
because she was like me ...
Copy !req
448. Sweetheart, there's nobody
like you. You're...
Copy !req
449. Maybe that means I'll always be alone.
Copy !req
450. Hello? Adam?
Copy !req
451. Lana.
Copy !req
452. Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.
Copy !req
453. They told me you were up here.
Copy !req
454. Lex, thank you. I feel like
this huge burden's been lifted.
Copy !req
455. What do you mean?
Copy !req
456. Well, Adam's gone.
Copy !req
457. I really appreciate your help.
Copy !req
458. Lana, as much as I'd like to take credit
for getting him out of your life...
Copy !req
459. I can't.
Copy !req
460. My security people haven't been able
to track him down.
Copy !req
461. Well, if you didn't get rid of him,
then where is he?
Copy !req
462. Adam.
Copy !req
463. Hello?
Copy !req
464. Why did I send you to Smallville?
Copy !req
465. To become the best friend of Lana Lang.
Copy !req
466. To find out everything she knew
about Clark Kent. Wasn't that it?
Copy !req
467. Instead, you have alienated her completely.
Copy !req
468. Mr. Luthor, his medication is ready.
Copy !req
469. That won't be necessary, Dr. Teng.
Copy !req
470. - He needs the serum, or he'll die.
- I'm sorry. I've already made my decision.
Copy !req
471. This patient is no longer a participant
in our research program.
Copy !req
472. Help me.
Copy !req
473. Please.
Copy !req
474. Help me.
Copy !req
475. No!
Copy !req
476. No.
Copy !req
477. No!
Copy !req
478. Help me!
Copy !req
479. Help me!
