1. Chloe.
Copy !req
2. Thought that was Gabe's car.
Copy !req
3. - What a surprise. I haven't seen you since...
- Since my Dad was fired from the plant.
Copy !req
4. - How's he doing?
- Hanging in there.
Copy !req
5. I don't think he ever expected the human
resources shuffle this late in his career.
Copy !req
6. He's a good man.
He'll land on his feet.
Copy !req
7. Actually, he sent out dozens of resumes
and hasn't even gotten a nibble.
Copy !req
8. I know this is beyond the call,
but Dad said...
Copy !req
9. you always kept your ear
close to the ground.
Copy !req
10. You think somebody could be sabotaging
his chances at a new job?
Copy !req
11. Chloe, you know
I'd do anything for Gabe...
Copy !req
12. but...
Copy !req
13. Lex is opening some projects
none of us want anything to do with.
Copy !req
14. Trust me, your Dad would be better off
to put LuthorCorp far behind him.
Copy !req
15. I need a decontamination
crew in Section 1978.
Copy !req
16. Send a security team.
Copy !req
17. - There she is!
- Cover corridor C.
Copy !req
18. You got it.
Copy !req
19. Hold it right there!
Copy !req
20. Hey, move it.
Copy !req
21. Original Airdate April 28, 2004
Copy !req
22. Chloe, hey! Chloe.
I've been trying to break through...
Copy !req
23. - to planet Chloe for two halls now.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
24. I guess I've had a lot on my mind.
Speaking of which...
Copy !req
25. Tell me I can cross your
teacher-of-the-year interview off my list.
Copy !req
26. Well, I called and I left a message,
but she didn't call back.
Copy !req
27. Clark. Okay, Clark.
Copy !req
28. I understand Mrs. Taylor is like Fort Knox
when it comes to her private life...
Copy !req
29. but journalism isn't sitting back,
waiting for someone to hand you the truth.
Copy !req
30. Sometimes,
you have to actually work for it.
Copy !req
31. And sometimes, timing is everything.
Okay, Clark.
Copy !req
32. Now go. And remember,
"no comment" is not an option.
Copy !req
33. Mrs. Taylor, I was wondering if we could
set a time for your Torch interview.
Copy !req
34. It'll be painless, I promise.
Copy !req
35. Actually, I'm really busy this week.
Copy !req
36. Mrs. Taylor, 10 minutes. Tops.
Copy !req
37. How about before lit class?
Does that work for you?
Copy !req
38. No, I'm printing a pop quiz
because I watched TV last night...
Copy !req
39. instead of prepping for class.
Copy !req
40. Did she really just say that?
Copy !req
41. - Hey, Pete, are we still on for tonight?
- Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
42. I gotta drop some stuff off for my mom,
but I should definitely be home for tip-off.
Copy !req
43. Another lovely evening
huddled around the electronic hearth.
Copy !req
44. Since Pete's supplying the big screen,
I got dinner.
Copy !req
45. What? Clark Kent in the kitchen?
Copy !req
46. What's on the menu?
Copy !req
47. Clark's gonna run to Metropolis
to get Shark Dogs from the stadium.
Copy !req
48. What? Whoa, whoa, back up.
Copy !req
49. You mean to tell me that Clark is driving
six hours to pick up a couple of hot dogs?
Copy !req
50. Well, when Clark goes supersonic,
he can make the roundtrip in 10 minutes.
Copy !req
51. He's kidding.
Copy !req
52. Come on, Pete, let's get to class.
Copy !req
53. - What was that?
- It just happened. I never meant to say that.
Copy !req
54. I just had this urge to tell the truth.
Copy !req
55. Well, next time you get the urge
to open up, don't.
Copy !req
56. Lex.
Copy !req
57. Thanks for dropping by.
Copy !req
58. Which of your obsessive-compulsive
fixations is behind today's summons?
Copy !req
59. I understand there was...
Copy !req
60. an incident at the Smallville plant
last night, correct?
Copy !req
61. A false alarm in the old wing.
Copy !req
62. Already taken care of it.
Copy !req
63. By scrambling the HAZMAT team?
Copy !req
64. Just a precaution.
Copy !req
65. Or a wild overreaction.
Copy !req
66. Unless, of course, a chemical agent
had actually been released.
Copy !req
67. I'm curious, Dad.
Copy !req
68. Why the sudden urge
to play micro-manager?
Copy !req
69. Because I'm concerned about you, Lex.
Copy !req
70. You're not deliberately
concealing things from me...
Copy !req
71. are you?
Copy !req
72. We all have our secrets.
Copy !req
73. Okay, well, so far, we have
student accolades, testimonials...
Copy !req
74. Everything except for Mrs. Taylor herself.
Copy !req
75. Well, Chloe, if she doesn't want to talk,
maybe we should just let it go?
Copy !req
76. Hi.
Copy !req
77. - Oh, hi, Chloe.
- Hey, Mrs. Kent.
Copy !req
78. - Are there more in the truck?
- Yes, sweetheart, thank you.
Copy !req
79. I never got a chance to thank you
for the flowers after Jonathan's surgery.
Copy !req
80. Of course.
How's he feeling?
Copy !req
81. It's been really difficult.
He's depressed and angry.
Copy !req
82. I worry that when he comes out of this,
he won't be the same man I married.
Copy !req
83. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
84. How's Clark handling all this?
Copy !req
85. Of course, he feels responsible
for Jonathan's condition.
Copy !req
86. How could he be responsible
for Mr. Kent's heart attack?
Copy !req
87. It's not. It's his biological father's.
He's the one who drove Clark to Metropolis.
Copy !req
88. Mom.
Copy !req
89. Where do you want these?
Copy !req
90. Clark...
Copy !req
91. you found your biological father,
and you didn't tell me about it?
Copy !req
92. She meant figuratively.
Copy !req
93. You know, coming to grips with the fact
that my real parents didn't want me...
Copy !req
94. played a part
in what happened last summer.
Copy !req
95. Let's pick this up tomorrow.
Copy !req
96. Okay.
Copy !req
97. Bye.
Copy !req
98. Bye.
Copy !req
99. I can't believe I told Chloe about Jor-El.
Copy !req
100. I don't... I don't know what happened,
Clark.
Copy !req
101. Mom, it's okay. I don't think it's just you.
I think something has happened to Chloe.
Copy !req
102. Lana.
Copy !req
103. Hope I'm not interrupting.
Copy !req
104. No, I'm just finishing up
with the morning rush.
Copy !req
105. I haven't seen you around
the last few days.
Copy !req
106. I figured after our last conversation
you could use some space.
Copy !req
107. I was thinking the same thing,
but we don't seem to be very good at that.
Copy !req
108. It's hard to make yourself scarce
in Smallville.
Copy !req
109. Actually, I'm here because of Chloe.
Copy !req
110. Have you noticed anything
different about her?
Copy !req
111. I don't want to cross
the roommate boundaries, but...
Copy !req
112. this guy called for her yesterday
when she was out.
Copy !req
113. An old coworker of her dad's.
Copy !req
114. - From LuthorCorp?
- Yeah, and he sounded really upset.
Copy !req
115. He was wondering
if she had taken his security card.
Copy !req
116. Klepto Chloe?
Copy !req
117. That doesn't sound like her.
Copy !req
118. He said whoever stole it broke into a lab
at the plant two nights ago.
Copy !req
119. Mrs. Taylor?
Copy !req
120. Hi, Mrs. Taylor. I'm sorry to be pulling
the 60 Minutes card...
Copy !req
121. but I'm crashing a deadline.
Can we just pop this off really quick?
Copy !req
122. Only because you'll never let me
off the hook.
Copy !req
123. It must be cool having
the best teacher in school as a mom.
Copy !req
124. I'm used to her being the best
at everything she does.
Copy !req
125. Okay. We'll just start with the obvious.
What do you like about teaching?
Copy !req
126. I enjoy the students.
Copy !req
127. Okay. Any downsides?
Copy !req
128. Always having to hide the truth.
Copy !req
129. I'm sorry.
The truth about what?
Copy !req
130. That Mrs. Taylor doesn't exist.
Copy !req
131. My real name is Marianne Lewis...
Copy !req
132. and I've been running from my past
since 1972.
Copy !req
133. I don't understand. What did you do?
Copy !req
134. I was part of a radical group.
Copy !req
135. We planted explosives
outside a bank in Seattle.
Copy !req
136. We were just trying to make a statement.
Copy !req
137. But one of the guards came in early...
Copy !req
138. and when the bomb went off...
Copy !req
139. Mrs. Taylor, are you saying
you're wanted for murder?
Copy !req
140. I just drove the car.
Copy !req
141. I swear, I never meant for anyone to die.
Copy !req
142. Mom, what are you saying?
Copy !req
143. I should've told you this years ago.
Copy !req
144. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
145. - Okay, Mrs. Taylor...
- No! Get away from her.
Copy !req
146. Okay? Just leave us alone.
Come on.
Copy !req
147. I'm so sorry, Willy.
I should have told you.
Copy !req
148. I just couldn't make myself.
Copy !req
149. Congratulations, Chloe. Within 24 hours,
you managed to tick off the entire school.
Copy !req
150. You don't earn your
press pass by making friends.
Copy !req
151. - Police should be handling this.
- Clark, I uncovered a murder.
Copy !req
152. With your new ability.
Copy !req
153. You broke into the LuthorCorp plant
the other night, didn't you?
Copy !req
154. - Something happened?
- Wow.
Copy !req
155. There may be some journalistic genes
behind those baby blues after all.
Copy !req
156. People are telling you things they don't
want you to know. It's not a joke.
Copy !req
157. No, but it is every reporter's dream.
Copy !req
158. Rebecca.
Copy !req
159. When the entire geometry class
got C's on the final...
Copy !req
160. how is it possible that you aced it?
Copy !req
161. I swiped the answer key
the day before the test.
Copy !req
162. You're not gonna tell anybody, are you?
Copy !req
163. Mindy!
Copy !req
164. Hey, Mindy.
Copy !req
165. You're always so upbeat.
Copy !req
166. Does anything bother you?
Copy !req
167. Are you kidding? Do you have any idea
how hard it is to cheer for a losing team?
Copy !req
168. Mindy, what are you talking about?
Copy !req
169. Doug, if you could take anyone to prom,
who would you take?
Copy !req
170. That would be Fitz.
Copy !req
171. Thomas Fitzpatrick, the quarterback?
Copy !req
172. Wow. I didn't expect that one.
Copy !req
173. Hey, it's cool. It's off-the-record.
Copy !req
174. My God, Clark, this is amazing!
Copy !req
175. Can you imagine
the stories I could break?
Copy !req
176. I could crack
the mystery that is Clark Kent.
Copy !req
177. What do you keep hiding from me?
Copy !req
178. I can't believe you asked that.
Copy !req
179. And you didn't answer.
Copy !req
180. Everyone else would have.
Copy !req
181. What are you so afraid of, Clark?
Copy !req
182. That I'll get behind that armor
and finally uncover your secret?
Copy !req
183. Clark. Last time I checked,
this area is restricted.
Copy !req
184. Hey, Lex.
Copy !req
185. Sorry about just walking around.
The outside door was unlocked.
Copy !req
186. Actually, it looked broken to me...
Copy !req
187. but I'll have a word
with my security people.
Copy !req
188. Want to tell me why you're here?
Copy !req
189. I'm worried about a friend.
Copy !req
190. That friend wouldn't have happened
to break in a few nights ago, would they?
Copy !req
191. Clark, why didn't you come to me?
Copy !req
192. Last time I did that, I had my conversations
hand-delivered to the FBI.
Copy !req
193. Clark, whatever deal I've made
with the feds, your family is off-limits.
Copy !req
194. I was kind of hoping
you might return the favor.
Copy !req
195. Now, you mind telling me
what you were doing down here?
Copy !req
196. It wasn't me.
Copy !req
197. Lex, there's something happening
to my friend, and...
Copy !req
198. What were you working on down here?
Copy !req
199. An old project of my father's.
Copy !req
200. I was trying to salvage something
from his failure.
Copy !req
201. Then where is everything?
Copy !req
202. I decided to cut my losses.
Copy !req
203. Clark...
Copy !req
204. we didn't get far enough
to gauge the potential side effects.
Copy !req
205. If this friend was exposed to anything,
there could be a serious health risk.
Copy !req
206. Now, it's hard for me to help
unless I know who it is.
Copy !req
207. How could you print this?
Copy !req
208. Thanks to you, my mom had to go
into hiding. Police are looking for her.
Copy !req
209. I'm sorry, William, I just printed the truth.
I can't be held responsible for that.
Copy !req
210. You ruined my life.
Copy !req
211. Was it just me, or did I completely
clear out the lunch crowd?
Copy !req
212. No, it was you.
Copy !req
213. Ever since you turned the Torch
into your own gossip column...
Copy !req
214. no one can stand being around you.
Copy !req
215. At least you're still talking to me, right?
Copy !req
216. For now.
Copy !req
217. Okay. What's that about?
Copy !req
218. I applied to the Paris School of the Arts.
Copy !req
219. They have a full-time high-school program,
and if I get accepted, I start in the summer.
Copy !req
220. Wow. I guess I'm out of the loop.
When did you decide this?
Copy !req
221. I've been thinking about it
for a while now.
Copy !req
222. Everyone has their families, you know,
and I'm not sure where I fit in.
Copy !req
223. - But I always thought we were your family.
- Oh, come on, Chloe.
Copy !req
224. I know what you
and everyone else thinks of me.
Copy !req
225. That I'm driven and self-involved.
Copy !req
226. I just can't wait to get out of here and go
somewhere where people don't judge me.
Copy !req
227. I never said anything like that.
Copy !req
228. You never had to.
Copy !req
229. Why have you never
talked to me about this?
Copy !req
230. Because I couldn't trust you.
Copy !req
231. Chloe, thanks for coming.
Copy !req
232. Yeah, well, I only have a minute.
Copy !req
233. Clark just called me about a story
that broke at the hospital, so...
Copy !req
234. Then you can give me the abridged version
of your trip to LuthorCorp the other night.
Copy !req
235. Let me guess...
Copy !req
236. somehow, no one can resist
telling you the truth.
Copy !req
237. Are you looking for an apology?
Copy !req
238. No.
Copy !req
239. Chloe...
Copy !req
240. I want you to use your gift to help me
get back the weeks my father stole from me.
Copy !req
241. I don't think your Dad would go to such
extremes to destroy those memories...
Copy !req
242. if they didn't pose
some sort of a threat to him.
Copy !req
243. Maybe you should just leave it alone.
Copy !req
244. Why do I get the feeling you know
more about this than you're letting on?
Copy !req
245. I don't know anything about that.
Copy !req
246. But I do know that because of you,
my dad can't get a job. Why help you?
Copy !req
247. Because my father is the one
who ordered his dismissal.
Copy !req
248. You know that's the truth, don't you?
Copy !req
249. Meaning that my family's future
is just one chess move...
Copy !req
250. in the endless game of one-upmanship
played by you and your dad?
Copy !req
251. It's not a game, Chloe.
Copy !req
252. You're the only one
who can get me the truth.
Copy !req
253. Why do you keep doing this to yourself?
Copy !req
254. Why can't you just
walk away from your father?
Copy !req
255. Because he won't give me
the only thing I've ever wanted from him.
Copy !req
256. And that would be?
Copy !req
257. I want him to love me.
Copy !req
258. Pete. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
259. Chloe said you had some big story.
Copy !req
260. I just told her that.
Copy !req
261. The way she's acting, I thought it was
the only way to get her to the hospital.
Copy !req
262. Is she okay?
Copy !req
263. She got doused with something.
It's making her sick.
Copy !req
264. Some sort of truth gas.
Copy !req
265. Which would explain
the vise grip on my arm.
Copy !req
266. I can take a hint. You want me out of here
before the human lie detector shows up.
Copy !req
267. - Hey, Pete.
- Chloe.
Copy !req
268. No, wait.
Now, enough is enough.
Copy !req
269. Everyone seems to be on the "run away
from Chloe" bandwagon today. Why you?
Copy !req
270. I'm trying to stay away from you
so I don't tell you the truth.
Copy !req
271. - Remember that story I called you about?
- Yeah, we can talk about this story later.
Copy !req
272. Right now, I want to know why you guys
are playing such a zone defense on me.
Copy !req
273. What is the big secret, Pete?
Copy !req
274. I'm in love with you, Chloe.
Copy !req
275. I've been waiting to do that
ever since the first day that I met you.
Copy !req
276. Okay, whoa, Pete.
Copy !req
277. Why didn't you tell me this sooner?
Copy !req
278. Because I knew the way
you felt about Clark.
Copy !req
279. And I never saw the point.
Copy !req
280. - Pete, wait.
- Chloe, listen.
Copy !req
281. If Clark's right and there's something
wrong with you, then take care of it.
Copy !req
282. Please.
Copy !req
283. Chloe? Are you okay?
Copy !req
284. I need some help!
Copy !req
285. Please!
Copy !req
286. - What's her name?
- Chloe.
Copy !req
287. Chloe, we're going
to take you down to Exam 3.
Copy !req
288. You're gonna be okay.
Have you had anything to eat today?
Copy !req
289. - Yeah, a little.
- When did you...?
Copy !req
290. Clark, I've been looking for you.
They arrested Mrs. Taylor.
Copy !req
291. I know. It's been all over the Internet.
Copy !req
292. So long as you're online, wanna ask Jeeves
how long it takes to die of embarrassment?
Copy !req
293. Pete, how come you didn't
tell me how you felt about Chloe?
Copy !req
294. It's not like I ever had a chance with her.
Copy !req
295. - What would make you say that?
- Because I'm always standing next to you.
Copy !req
296. Oh, come on, Clark.
Copy !req
297. As far as long shadows go,
you're the dark side of the moon.
Copy !req
298. - Why are you looking through Chloe's files?
- I'm worried about her.
Copy !req
299. She was working on a story
about a LuthorCorp project called Levitas.
Copy !req
300. This retired military doctor,
General Jonah Doyle...
Copy !req
301. claims he was part
of the first test five years ago.
Copy !req
302. Sounds like a crackpot.
Copy !req
303. It's our only lead.
Copy !req
304. Everything looks normal.
Copy !req
305. I'll be right back.
Copy !req
306. - That wasn't very long.
- Miss Sullivan.
Copy !req
307. You look a bit peaked.
Copy !req
308. Well, I suppose a steady diet of truth
can wear on a person.
Copy !req
309. I understand you've borrowed
one of our LuthorCorp security cards.
Copy !req
310. I was just trying to help my dad.
Copy !req
311. What did you do, blacklist him?
Copy !req
312. You're damn right I blacklisted him.
He'll be lucky to find a job as a dishwasher.
Copy !req
313. Well, I warned you there'd be repercussions
if you defied me. I'm a man of my word.
Copy !req
314. There's only one way to find out.
Copy !req
315. What?
Copy !req
316. Did you order Morgan Edge
to kill your parents?
Copy !req
317. Of course I did.
For their life insurance.
Copy !req
318. I needed that money
to start my company.
Copy !req
319. I'm sorry you asked me
that question, Miss Sullivan.
Copy !req
320. That's very dangerous information
for you to have.
Copy !req
321. Why did you ask me that?
Copy !req
322. That's not important.
This is.
Copy !req
323. Of course I did.
For their life insurance.
Copy !req
324. I have your entire confession
recorded on my voice mail...
Copy !req
325. and the only person
that has the password is me.
Copy !req
326. So if I were you, I would reconsider
my father's employment situation.
Copy !req
327. I'm impressed, but unfortunately,
I don't respond to blackmail.
Copy !req
328. But, you know, this isn't what's gonna get
your father's job back.
Copy !req
329. - Then what would?
- Information...
Copy !req
330. from an especially intransigent source.
Copy !req
331. Does this source have a name?
Copy !req
332. Two, actually.
Jonathan and Martha Kent.
Copy !req
333. But you need only ask one question.
Copy !req
334. Why would I ever do that?
Copy !req
335. Because I know you have a special place
in your heart for their son...
Copy !req
336. and it's killing you
that he's hiding something from you.
Copy !req
337. And we both know that this may be
the only opportunity you'll ever have...
Copy !req
338. to find out what that is.
Copy !req
339. And what exactly is it
that you want to know?
Copy !req
340. Where did Clark Kent come from?
Copy !req
341. You need a lesson in manners.
Copy !req
342. I'm here to talk to you
about the Levitas project.
Copy !req
343. I know that LuthorCorp was the contractor
when you were in charge.
Copy !req
344. They've resumed the experiment.
Copy !req
345. - Lionel Luthor send you?
- No.
Copy !req
346. I need to know
how the drug affects people.
Copy !req
347. Over there.
Copy !req
348. We were trying to create
the ultimate interrogator.
Copy !req
349. Why did you stop?
Copy !req
350. I balked over safety issues.
Copy !req
351. Luthor retaliated by arranging
for a disappointing psych report...
Copy !req
352. and a dishonorable discharge.
Copy !req
353. Mr. Doyle, a friend of mine
stumbled into the LuthorCorp lab...
Copy !req
354. that was continuing
the Levitas research.
Copy !req
355. I think she was exposed...
Copy !req
356. Is your friend showing symptoms?
Copy !req
357. She's been having headaches.
Copy !req
358. My guess is your friend
will be dead by morning.
Copy !req
359. - Dead?
- That's why I suspended the project.
Copy !req
360. We suspected the gas would work.
Copy !req
361. But the toxicity levels
were off the charts.
Copy !req
362. Is there anything that can help her?
Copy !req
363. Just before the project went down,
I was working on a possible counteractant.
Copy !req
364. It was never tested.
Copy !req
365. If I have to use this,
how much do I give her?
Copy !req
366. Hit her with a full dose.
Right in the heart.
Copy !req
367. Excuse me.
I'm looking for Chloe Sullivan.
Copy !req
368. So are we. She left
without being officially discharged.
Copy !req
369. - Clark. What a surprise.
- Is it?
Copy !req
370. I know about your human truth serum.
Copy !req
371. The Levitas project.
Copy !req
372. Levitas...?
Copy !req
373. Levita... I think we abandoned
that project five, seven years ago.
Copy !req
374. You're lying.
Copy !req
375. That's a provocative accusation, Clark,
especially coming from you.
Copy !req
376. I don't believe you're here
just to check on Chloe's health.
Copy !req
377. Did you get her to work for you again?
Ask more questions about me?
Copy !req
378. Whatever I ask her to do, Clark,
is in search of the truth.
Copy !req
379. She might die.
Copy !req
380. You couldn't care less.
Copy !req
381. Come on.
Copy !req
382. - Hello?
- Chloe, it's Clark.
Copy !req
383. You have to get back to the hospital now.
What you have might kill you.
Copy !req
384. You're just saying that
so you can stop me.
Copy !req
385. Stop you from what?
Copy !req
386. Do you know what it's like
to look at your best friend...
Copy !req
387. and know he is lying?
Copy !req
388. I can't do this anymore.
Copy !req
389. Chloe.
Copy !req
390. Chloe, talk to me.
Copy !req
391. Chloe! Are you all right, Chloe?
Talk to me.
Copy !req
392. You have to let me help you.
Copy !req
393. Chloe.
Copy !req
394. I warned you to leave us alone!
Copy !req
395. My mother doesn't deserve to be in jail!
Copy !req
396. Chloe?
Copy !req
397. Clark! Clark, I'm at the Coughlin Bridge!
Please help me!
Copy !req
398. Chloe! It's gonna be okay.
Copy !req
399. - Well, that's it. No need to call back.
- Two invitations to your office in one week.
Copy !req
400. I should be flattered.
Copy !req
401. You should be more careful.
Copy !req
402. In the future, if you want to reactivate
one of my old projects...
Copy !req
403. son, all you have to do is ask.
Copy !req
404. If you made more of an effort to keep me
informed, I wouldn't resort to subterfuge.
Copy !req
405. I am trying to understand, Lex, why you
would be so desperate to learn the truth...
Copy !req
406. that you would resort
to using a dangerously unstable drug.
Copy !req
407. I guess the truth
has never really held much merit for you.
Copy !req
408. Now, I'm losing my patience, Lex.
Copy !req
409. You are constantly defensive with me.
Copy !req
410. Now, tell me, damn it,
what is it you want from me?
Copy !req
411. It doesn't really matter, Dad.
Copy !req
412. I'm never going to get it.
Copy !req
413. Chloe, how are you feeling?
Copy !req
414. A little shaky.
Copy !req
415. But I'm totally truth-serum free.
Copy !req
416. Whatever you Pulp Fiction-ed into my
chest not only kick-started my heart...
Copy !req
417. but also relieved me
of any Levitas in my system, so...
Copy !req
418. that's good.
Copy !req
419. - Did you hear what happened to William?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
420. Between his mother's past
and her arrest...
Copy !req
421. he took quite a hit.
Copy !req
422. I never meant to hurt him.
Copy !req
423. His mom's the one
who should've told him.
Copy !req
424. But that's the thing about the truth.
Copy !req
425. It's bound to come out, sooner or later.
Copy !req
426. Then I guess it's my turn to come clean.
Copy !req
427. When you found me on the bridge,
I was on my way here.
Copy !req
428. I was gonna ask your parents
all the questions you would never answer.
Copy !req
429. Look...
Copy !req
430. I know "I'm sorry" has become
a recurring motif in our relationship, but...
Copy !req
431. No, Chloe...
Copy !req
432. I appreciate your honesty,
but you weren't yourself.
Copy !req
433. I really wish I could believe that.
Copy !req
434. But there have been so many times
my curiosity has gotten the best of me.
Copy !req
435. - Maybe this is just who I am.
- No. You're going after the truth.
Copy !req
436. Nothing wrong with that.
Copy !req
437. Unless it hurts the people
you care the most about.
Copy !req
438. I'm just afraid that one day
I'm gonna push too hard...
Copy !req
439. and I'm not going to get
the chance to say I'm sorry.
Copy !req
440. Today's not that day.
Copy !req
441. Clark. Thanks for coming by.
Copy !req
442. Is everything okay? I haven't gotten
many phone messages from you lately.
Copy !req
443. Yeah.
Copy !req
444. I've been wanting to show you this.
Copy !req
445. Paris?
Copy !req
446. I sent in my application last week.
Copy !req
447. I don't understand.
Copy !req
448. I'm leaving.
Copy !req
449. - Lana, if this is because of me...
- No.
Copy !req
450. No.
Copy !req
451. Because of everything.
Copy !req
452. I'm beginning to feel like
I need a fresh start.
Copy !req
453. What about your life here?
What about your friends?
Copy !req
454. Well, maybe I'll wind up
in Smallville eventually, but...
Copy !req
455. I don't think I can be happy, wondering
if there's something else out there.
Copy !req
456. Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Copy !req
457. Because...
Copy !req
458. I didn't want anyone
to talk me out of it.
Copy !req
459. And the truth is...
Copy !req
460. I knew you were
the only person that could.
Copy !req
461. Thank you for using KansCom.
Please enter your security code now.
Copy !req

Copy !req
463. Hello, Miss Sullivan. It's only me.
Copy !req
464. Oh, no need to look
for that conversation we had earlier.
Copy !req
465. That's gone, and...
Copy !req
466. Well, that's it. No need to call back.
Copy !req
467. You have no more messages.
