1. Professor, why did we let Luthor do this?
Look at this place.Copy !req
2. He's done nothing but
defile our holy ground.Copy !req
3. History has taught us to
walk among our enemies.Copy !req
4. Yeah, while they walk all over us?Copy !req
5. I understand your anger, Jeremiah...Copy !req
6. but we have no access to these
caves without his permission.Copy !req
7. Professor Willowbrook, thank you for
coming on such short notice.Copy !req
8. I didn't realize you'd be bringing
someone with you, though.Copy !req
9. This is Jeremiah Holdsclaw, future
leader of the Kawatche people...Copy !req
10. and one of my brightest
graduate students.Copy !req
11. - Oh.
- He may be able to help...Copy !req
12. identify the artifact.Copy !req
13. Jeremiah, it's an honor to meet you.Copy !req
14. Perhaps you could show us what you found.Copy !req
15. Yes, of course. Miriam.Copy !req
16. What do you...?Copy !req
17. What do you make of this, professor?Copy !req
18. Incredible. Palak.Copy !req
19. Palak.Copy !req
20. What is Palak?Copy !req
21. Ancient traditional cookware.Copy !req
22. Cookware?Copy !req
23. Beautiful example.Copy !req
24. Jeremiah, what do you think it is?Copy !req
25. I think the professor is right.Copy !req
26. I think we should take it back to the
museum to properly study it.Copy !req
27. Oh, no. It can't leave the cave.Copy !req
28. Not until I've had it
thoroughly analyzed. Miriam.Copy !req
29. If you are the friend of the Kawatche
that you claim to be...Copy !req
30. then why won't you let us take it now?Copy !req
31. Professor, would you give
me the artifact, please?Copy !req
32. Jeremiah, you're embarrassing me.Copy !req
33. Professor, this is ancient Kawatche soil.Copy !req
34. Everything in here belongs to us.Copy !req
35. No! No!Copy !req
36. Give it to me.Copy !req
37. Give me the knife, Jeremiah.Copy !req
38. Find him.Copy !req
39. And bring me that knife.Copy !req
40. Original Airdate May 5, 2004Copy !req
41. Professor Willowbrook?Copy !req
42. Those are a lot of steps for
an old man to climb.Copy !req
43. I'm sorry I haven't seen you lately.Copy !req
44. - Between the farm and school, I...
- No need to make excuses, Naman.Copy !req
45. Don't worry.Copy !req
46. Your secret is safe with me.Copy !req
47. I'm not Naman.Copy !req
48. It's just a story on a cave wall.Copy !req
49. Until last night, I believed that too.Copy !req
50. What happened last night?Copy !req
51. Your destiny was revealed.Copy !req
52. It's called Palak...Copy !req
53. the Star Blade. It's been missing
for 500 years.Copy !req
54. Until Lionel Luthor unearthed it.Copy !req
55. It shines a light on Sageeth
so Naman can identify and destroy...Copy !req
56. his greatest enemy.Copy !req
57. And Willowbrook came because
he thinks you are Naman?Copy !req
58. Dad, you should've seen the way he looked
at me. It was kind of overwhelming.Copy !req
59. Well, Clark, he thinks you're
the savior of his people.Copy !req
60. That's a lot to shoulder.
Even... Even for you.Copy !req
61. Yeah, but I'm not.Copy !req
62. - I mean, I can barely take care of myself.
- Sit down.Copy !req
63. Look, you can't allow yourself to get all tied
up in prophecies written on a cave wall.Copy !req
64. Except some of the prophecies
are starting to come true.Copy !req
65. What?Copy !req
66. One of Willowbrook's students got a hold
of the blade, and it's given him powers.Copy !req
67. What exactly are we talking about here?Copy !req
68. So far, strength, speed
and he's bulletproof.Copy !req
69. How is that possible?Copy !req
70. The Kawatche were charged
with its safe keeping.Copy !req
71. Holding it, they're given
the power to protect it...Copy !req
72. until they can deliver
it to the true Naman.Copy !req
73. Clark...Copy !req
74. I had your abilities for a short time...Copy !req
75. but, believe me, having all
that power was intoxicating.Copy !req
76. You don't think Jeremiah's
gonna give it back.Copy !req
77. No.Copy !req
78. Clark, you've got to find him and stop him
before Lionel Luthor gets a hold of it.Copy !req
79. Why won't you listen to me? I told
you I don't wanna talk about it!Copy !req
80. Note to self, forward all
telemarketing calls to Pete.Copy !req
81. You wanna tell me what that was about?Copy !req
82. It was nothing.Copy !req
83. Did you pull an all-nighter, or do you
just find changing clothes too cliche?Copy !req
84. I was a little laundry-impaired this morning.Copy !req
85. How bohemian of you.Copy !req
86. Hey, do you want to cover
the gymnastics tryouts?Copy !req
87. I'm sorry, can you find someone else?Copy !req
88. Pete Ross passing up the opportunity to
ogle Smallville High's women in spandex?Copy !req
89. Look, I just can't do it, okay?Copy !req
90. I gotta get to class.Copy !req
91. Well, hang on a second,
and I'll walk with you.Copy !req
92. Or not.Copy !req
93. - Dad, I came as soon as I heard.
- Lex, I...Copy !req
94. - Are you all right?
- Yeah.Copy !req
95. Would you excuse us, please?
Yeah, I'm fine, son. I just...Copy !req
96. bruised a few ribs, that's all.Copy !req
97. The rumor's floating around that
the person who attacked you...Copy !req
98. was holding an ancient
Kawatche artifact...Copy !req
99. that supposedly gave him
superhuman strength and speed.Copy !req
100. Well, if that were true,
wouldn't that be a prize?Copy !req
101. Is that why you've come?Copy !req
102. I don't live in the past anymore, Dad.Copy !req
103. Someone told me it was a weakness.Copy !req
104. Given your recent mishaps in the cave...Copy !req
105. maybe you should start
following your own advice.Copy !req
106. Dad...Copy !req
107. why don't you let me use some law
enforcement relationships to track this guy.Copy !req
108. Considering what you and I have
been going through recently...Copy !req
109. this filial concern of yours is...Copy !req
110. touching and a little surprising.Copy !req
111. Who are you, Lex?Copy !req
112. Dad...Copy !req
113. no matter what our differences...Copy !req
114. I'm always gonna be concerned
about your well-being.Copy !req
115. You know, Lex, the only thing more
bruised than my ribs is my ego.Copy !req
116. Any more publicity
would only embarrass me.Copy !req
117. So the cave...Copy !req
118. What do you say? Let's let
the matter drop, all right?Copy !req
119. You didn't get in?Copy !req
120. No, no. I got accepted.Copy !req
121. They turned down my financial aid,
which means I can't go.Copy !req
122. Well, wait a minute.Copy !req
123. Before you commit yourself to pouring
lattes in the Sunflower State...Copy !req
124. why don't you talk to Lex?Copy !req
125. Chloe, I am not asking Lex for a loan.Copy !req
126. Why not? You know he would
happily lend it to you.Copy !req
127. But I wanted to do this on my own.Copy !req
128. Well, selfishly, I would be
glad if you decided to stay.Copy !req
129. But if Lex were in your shoes,
do you think...Copy !req
130. that he would let one bump in the road
deter him from pursuing his dreams?Copy !req
131. Call him.Copy !req
132. Here for the prospective-students tour,
Clark?Copy !req
133. Did you do this?Copy !req
134. Now, what possible reason would
I have to ransack the office...Copy !req
135. of an obscure teaching assistant?Copy !req
136. Then tell me why you're here.Copy !req
137. You first.Copy !req
138. Jeremiah was gonna help
me with a term paper.Copy !req
139. Term paper.Copy !req
140. Your visit doesn't have anything to do with
the fact that he went ballistic last night...Copy !req
141. and absconded with a
sacred Kawatche artifact.Copy !req
142. I didn't know.Copy !req
143. Well, I'm surprised.Copy !req
144. I mean, you usually keep such a close eye
on everything that happens in the caves.Copy !req
145. - For those papers you're always writing.
- You still haven't told me why you're here.Copy !req
146. Well, according to the legend
of Naman and Sageeth...Copy !req
147. this missing artifact bestows
extraordinary abilities...Copy !req
148. on whoever possesses it.Copy !req
149. You don't really believe that.Copy !req
150. I like to keep my mind open
to extreme possibilities.Copy !req
151. You're starting to sound like your father.Copy !req
152. I guess I should be offended...Copy !req
153. but it looks like he's beaten
us both to the punch.Copy !req
154. Tell me something, Clark.Copy !req
155. Do you have any idea what this might be?Copy !req
156. Oh...Copy !req
157. if you find your friend,
tell him I'd like to meet him.Copy !req
158. And good luck with your term paper.Copy !req
159. Even if I knew where he was,
what makes you think he'd listen to me?Copy !req
160. But as I understand it,
you're not only his academic adviser...Copy !req
161. but you're his...Copy !req
162. spiritual counselor as well.Copy !req
163. - Yes?
- So why not just explain to him...Copy !req
164. that the Star Blade isn't his to keep?Copy !req
165. - What do you know about it?
- I've read your writings, professor.Copy !req
166. It doesn't belong to you either.Copy !req
167. You know, I have a considerable
amount of influence around here.Copy !req
168. - Yes?
- Is that a threat?Copy !req
169. No. Of course not.Copy !req
170. But I'm fascinated by your work.Copy !req
171. I'm thinking about giving your
department a sizable grant...Copy !req
172. so you can continue your research.Copy !req
173. Don't tell me an educated man like you
puts stock in old Indian legends.Copy !req
174. Look, professor...Copy !req
175. you and I both saw what
Jeremiah did in the cave.Copy !req
176. I've suspected for some
time that there are...Copy !req
177. special human beings who are
capable of feats like that.Copy !req
178. Now I know I'm right.Copy !req
179. If you've read my work...Copy !req
180. then you also know that the blade will
crumble if the wrong person touches it.Copy !req
181. Yes.Copy !req
182. Sageeth.Copy !req
183. - Who is he?
- According to legend...Copy !req
184. he's the bearer of darkness.Copy !req
185. Clark. Well, this is a coincidence.Copy !req
186. Nice to see you.Copy !req
187. Professor.Copy !req
188. What did he want?Copy !req
189. The same thing you do, Naman.Copy !req
190. Professor, please stop calling me that.Copy !req
191. One who denies his destiny...Copy !req
192. can bring about as much pain and
suffering as your greatest enemy.Copy !req
193. Please, professor, I'm just here to help.Copy !req
194. I don't want Jeremiah to hurt
anyone, including himself.Copy !req
195. This mural was painted on
the blinds in his office.Copy !req
196. I tried drawing it.Copy !req
197. Clark, that's the slumbering place.Copy !req
198. The burial ground where the ancient
Kawatche used to perform death rituals.Copy !req
199. Jeremiah's writing his dissertation about it.Copy !req
200. Does it still exist?Copy !req
201. Jeremiah.Copy !req
202. Jeremiah doesn't exist anymore, professor.Copy !req
203. You can't allow the power of the
blade to cloud your judgment.Copy !req
204. It's made things very clear.Copy !req
205. Your duty is to protect the blade
for Naman. He's Naman.Copy !req
206. Him? He's not even Kawatche.Copy !req
207. Look, it doesn't really matter who I am.Copy !req
208. The blade is dangerous, Jeremiah.Copy !req
209. It's given me the strength of 10 men.Copy !req
210. I can shoot fire from my eyes.Copy !req
211. Don't you see, professor?Copy !req
212. I am Naman.Copy !req
213. You're misinterpreting
the prophecy, Jeremiah.Copy !req
214. All these years, I've listened to you.Copy !req
215. But now I can see you've held me back.Copy !req
216. You're afraid that I've become
more powerful than you.Copy !req
217. Jeremiah, it's the blade.
It's corrupting you. Just put it down.Copy !req
218. I don't take orders from anyone.Copy !req
219. I will be the savior of my people.Copy !req
220. I will bring Sageeth here and kill him!Copy !req
221. You don't even know who Sageeth is.Copy !req
222. You could kill an innocent person.Copy !req
223. The man I want...Copy !req
224. is far from innocent.Copy !req
225. Stay out of my way, false prophet.Copy !req
226. Clark, do you have any idea
where he went?Copy !req
227. I'm pretty sure he's
going after Lionel Luthor.Copy !req
228. Because he thinks Lionel is Sageeth.Copy !req
229. I remember when you first
learned about this from Kyla.Copy !req
230. She said... Thanks. She said Sageeth was
supposed to start as one of the good guys.Copy !req
231. But the prophecy isn't written down.Copy !req
232. It's an oral tradition, so it's open
to a million different interpretations.Copy !req
233. What's your interpretation?Copy !req
234. I don't know. Professor Willowbrook...Copy !req
235. thinks that I'm Naman.Copy !req
236. And Jor-El wants me to be some
sort of Kryptonian warrior...Copy !req
237. but I just want to be Clark Kent.Copy !req
238. Well, you are Clark Kent, and like it or not,
you're the only one who can stop this kid.Copy !req
239. - We need to warn Lionel.
- No.Copy !req
240. Jonathan, you just said...Copy !req
241. I don't want to give him information...Copy !req
242. that can help him find this weapon
before Clark does.Copy !req
243. Son, what you need to do is, you need to
find Jeremiah before he kills Lionel.Copy !req
244. Dad, even if I do find Jeremiah, I don't
know how to get the knife away from him.Copy !req
245. If he does have your abilities, there's a
good chance that he has your weakness.Copy !req
246. Now, I know what you're going to say.
This faux Egyptian decor is terribly tacky.Copy !req
247. So I'm gonna need you to just use your
imagination and you will see the potential.Copy !req
248. And keep in mind,
location, location, location.Copy !req
249. - Hi, can I help you?
- Yes.Copy !req
250. Earl Grey, please.
And whatever my client wants.Copy !req
251. Take a look up on the second floor.
There's a very nice living space...Copy !req
252. Miss, I think there's been
a misunderstanding.Copy !req
253. The Talon's not for sale.Copy !req
254. Well, it is, dear.
Lex Luthor hired me to sell it.Copy !req
255. Excuse me.Copy !req
256. - I'm part-owner. You can't just...
- Take it up with him.Copy !req
257. You can't just sell the Talon
without consulting me.Copy !req
258. I thought that's what you wanted
so you could afford to go to Paris.Copy !req
259. No, I asked you to buy me out of my share.
I didn't ask you to sell the building.Copy !req
260. Either way, you get the money.Copy !req
261. I put my heart and soul into that place, Lex.Copy !req
262. My friends hang out there, it's a sanctuary.
I do not want it turned into a Kinko's.Copy !req
263. Lana, this may come as a shock to you,
but the Talon's not exactly a cash cow.Copy !req
264. And personally, I have no
interest in the coffee business.Copy !req
265. It's much more profitable
to sell the building.Copy !req
266. If the Talon is such a terrible investment,
then why'd you keep it this long?Copy !req
267. I thought that was obvious.Copy !req
268. I did it for you.Copy !req
269. I spend so much time swimming
with Wall Street sharks...Copy !req
270. and boardroom barracudas...Copy !req
271. that it's been nice to come up for air...Copy !req
272. with someone as honest
and pure-hearted as you.Copy !req
273. In some ways, you're the
best partner I've ever had.Copy !req
274. Thank you, Lex.Copy !req
275. But you're leaving, and you're irreplaceable.Copy !req
276. So why hang on to something that's over?Copy !req
277. Unless, of course, this is really
about you having second thoughts.Copy !req
278. What? No, I...Copy !req
279. Because you've got to ask
yourself, Lana, who are you?Copy !req
280. Are you a small-town girl
content to spend her days...Copy !req
281. gossiping in a coffee shop
with her friends?Copy !req
282. Or are you the girl who goes to Paris?Copy !req
283. What do you want?Copy !req
284. The same thing as you.Copy !req
285. To insure the well-being
of the Kawatche people.Copy !req
286. Then stop pillaging their caves.Copy !req
287. But who rightfully owns the cave, Clark?Copy !req
288. Your family? They seem to believe they do.Copy !req
289. That's funny. I could say
the same thing about you.Copy !req
290. You want me to leave the Kawatche alone?
Deliver a message for me.Copy !req
291. Tell them to return the stolen artifact.Copy !req
292. Well, I'd be careful if I were you.Copy !req
293. They say that artifact is dangerous.Copy !req
294. Acquiring anything valuable always
involves a certain amount of risk...Copy !req
295. and I believe that that knife is valuable...Copy !req
296. in more ways than one.Copy !req
297. - What are you talking about?
- We'll have to run tests to be sure.Copy !req
298. But I believe that that Star Blade...Copy !req
299. is forged from the same metal
as the octagonal key.Copy !req
300. It might be possible to use the metal
from the knife to create a duplicate.Copy !req
301. - I thought the original was in the cave wall.
- My scientists haven't been able to find it.Copy !req
302. You honestly believe that I'd help you?Copy !req
303. Why are we playing games, Clark?Copy !req
304. You're as eager as I am to unlock
the mysteries of the cave.Copy !req
305. Even if I wanted to help you, the
Kawatche don't take orders from me.Copy !req
306. Don't be modest.Copy !req
307. I'm sure they believe, as I do,
you're a very...Copy !req
308. special young man. They'll believe you.Copy !req
309. You can also tell the professor
that I can turn...Copy !req
310. from being a loyal ally to
his very formidable nemesis...Copy !req
311. in a heartbeat.Copy !req
312. The friend who becomes the enemy.Copy !req
313. I beg your pardon?Copy !req
314. Mr. Luthor, those caves may not belong to
my family, but this barn does. So get out.Copy !req
315. Professor.Copy !req
316. Have you found Jeremiah?Copy !req
317. Not yet, but I have an idea.
I need your help.Copy !req
318. I'm at your service, Naman.Copy !req
319. I know you want to believe it,
but I'm... I'm not your savior.Copy !req
320. I mean, did you ever think
that Jeremiah really is Naman?Copy !req
321. He has all the abilities
foretold in the prophecy...Copy !req
322. and he's gonna try and kill Sageeth.Copy !req
323. True, but he did not fall from
the sky in a rain of fire.Copy !req
324. Jeremiah is desperate
to be someone he's not.Copy !req
325. And you are desperate
not to be someone you are.Copy !req
326. Professor, I may be confused about who
I am, but one thing I'm not is a killer.Copy !req
327. You'd be surprised what you're
capable of when the time comes.Copy !req
328. Now, how can I help you?Copy !req
329. Well, if I can't find Jeremiah...Copy !req
330. maybe I can get him to come to me.Copy !req
331. Do you have any way to contact him?Copy !req
332. I could try to pass him a message
through other members of the tribe.Copy !req
333. But after last night,
I doubt if he'll listen to me.Copy !req
334. That depends on the message.Copy !req
335. What are you doing here?Copy !req
336. Professor Willowbrook sent me a message.Copy !req
337. He told me that after he saw what
I could do, he knew he was wrong.Copy !req
338. - I'm the true Naman.
- I never claimed to be Naman.Copy !req
339. Liar.Copy !req
340. Willowbrook says you're a false prophet.Copy !req
341. That before I kill Sageeth, I have to kill you.Copy !req
342. What's this?Copy !req
343. Danny, what's...?Copy !req
344. What's happening?
Danny, why have we stopped?Copy !req
345. Danny?Copy !req
346. Hey, I thought I had the monopoly
on burning the candle at both ends.Copy !req
347. Actually, I was just heading to
the Torch to print out my term paper.Copy !req
348. Oh, yeah. What good are extracurriculars
if you can't milk them for office supplies.Copy !req
349. Just lock up when you're done
and try to turn everything off, okay?Copy !req
350. - Okay.
- Oh, hey.Copy !req
351. I saw your mom at the courthouse. You
didn't tell me she was up for a judgeship.Copy !req
352. Actually, she doesn't have the job yet.Copy !req
353. With her record, she's a shoo-in.
I was talking to a couple people...Copy !req
354. You don't stop until you
get your scoop, do you?Copy !req
355. I was just trying to show
a little interest in your life.Copy !req
356. I'm your friend.
I'm not just some random reporter.Copy !req
357. Oh, you see, that... That's the problem.Copy !req
358. You're both.Copy !req
359. And it's pretty obvious
which one comes first.Copy !req
360. - What's with you, Pete?
- Not everything is public domain, Chloe!Copy !req
361. Now I understand why Clark gets so mad
at you for trying to bust into his private life.Copy !req
362. Here.Copy !req
363. - Clark!
- Clark!Copy !req
364. Clark!Copy !req
365. Jonathan, he barely has a pulse.Copy !req
366. Help me get him over.Copy !req
367. Oh, God.Copy !req
368. Martha, why don't you go get something
to help stop the bleeding, sweetheart.Copy !req
369. You better... You better hurry, sweetheart.Copy !req
370. Come on, Clark.Copy !req
371. Jonathan, how did you...?Copy !req
372. I have no idea.Copy !req
373. Mom? Dad?Copy !req
374. Sweetheart, thank God.Copy !req
375. - What happened?
- We found you bleeding to death.Copy !req
376. Blade must've been made
of Kryptonian metal.Copy !req
377. I guess my body healed itself.Copy !req
378. Actually...Copy !req
379. your father did it.Copy !req
380. How?Copy !req
381. I have no idea, Clark.Copy !req
382. One minute I was trying to stop the blood,
and the next minute you were healed.Copy !req
383. You saved my life.Copy !req
384. I didn't save your life, son.Copy !req
385. I was just the vessel.Copy !req
386. For Jor-El?Copy !req
387. Well, however it happened,
we should be grateful.Copy !req
388. He's not done with either of us, is he?Copy !req
389. Clark, Lex called last night.Copy !req
390. Jeremiah has Lionel.Copy !req
391. - I know where they are. I'll go.
- Clark...Copy !req
392. Jeremiah tried to kill you.Copy !req
393. Martha...Copy !req
394. let him go.Copy !req
395. Now, Sageeth...Copy !req
396. you'll bring no more darkness
to my people.Copy !req
397. I don't know how you survived.Copy !req
398. But you won't do it twice.Copy !req
399. Dad!Copy !req
400. Lex, it's Jeremiah.Copy !req
401. - Where's...? Where's Jeremiah?
- I don't know, Dad.Copy !req
402. I'm gonna get you out of here
before he comes back.Copy !req
403. Where's...?Copy !req
404. Come on!Copy !req
405. According to Chloe's sources...Copy !req
406. the doctors at Belle Reve think that
Jeremiah may never come out of his coma.Copy !req
407. I guess having all those abilities
really took a toll on his body.Copy !req
408. Well, son, at least we know that the knife
won't ever hurt you or anybody else again.Copy !req
409. It also means the prophecy came true.Copy !req
410. The blade glowed and then disintegrated
when they touched it...Copy !req
411. which means either Lionel or Lex
is my greatest enemy.Copy !req
412. Did you see which one grabbed it first?Copy !req
413. No. But I don't need a blade to tell
me that Lionel Luthor's a bad person.Copy !req
414. If you're gonna believe this legend...Copy !req
415. you have to face the possibility
that it could be Lex.Copy !req
416. I'm not ready to do that.Copy !req
417. Clark...Copy !req
418. the Kawatche think that you're a savior.Copy !req
419. Jor-El wants you to be a conqueror. Now...Copy !req
420. knife or not, you can't let
other people tell you what to be.Copy !req
421. Who do you think I'll become?Copy !req
422. I don't know.Copy !req
423. You could be the world's greatest hero.Copy !req
424. Or its most mild-mannered citizen...Copy !req
425. but the only person who
can write your story...Copy !req
426. is you.Copy !req
427. Is this where they're holding
the partnership meeting?Copy !req
428. We got another offer.Copy !req
429. Chloe and her dad.Copy !req
430. I never would have predicted that one.Copy !req
431. They want to keep the place
exactly as it is...Copy !req
432. and let me stay on as part-owner...Copy !req
433. so I can go back to work
when I get home from school in Paris.Copy !req
434. Sounds too good to pass up.Copy !req
435. I turned them down.Copy !req
436. Without consulting me?Copy !req
437. I don't think Chloe was ever really
interested in running the place anyway.Copy !req
438. I think she was just having some
trouble letting go of the past.Copy !req
439. But I don't want anything
pulling me back to Smallville.Copy !req
440. I thought about what you said, Lex.
About who I am...Copy !req
441. and I decided...Copy !req
442. I'm the girl who goes to Paris.Copy !req
443. Chloe, what are you doing here?Copy !req
444. I think I should be asking you that.Copy !req
445. Just give me a minute,
and I'll get out of your way.Copy !req
446. You know, when my parents split,
I hid out in the garage.Copy !req
447. I didn't have my driver's license yet.Copy !req
448. Your mom called today. She asked
me if I'd seen you, and I said I hadn't.Copy !req
449. She tried to brush it off.Copy !req
450. She said you were probably
hanging out with Clark.Copy !req
451. But you weren't.Copy !req
452. Mystery solved.Copy !req
453. Yeah.Copy !req
454. I'm guessing you didn't tell me
about your mom's job offer...Copy !req
455. because it wasn't a good thing, was it?Copy !req
456. I thought she'd turn it down right away.Copy !req
457. But it doesn't look like
that's gonna happen.Copy !req
458. Well, having been through my
own version of divorce court...Copy !req
459. I know how difficult it can be.Copy !req
460. Do you think there's any chance
that they'll work it out?Copy !req
461. My dad's helping her move to Wichita.Copy !req
462. I guess I just didn't realize
how bad it was between them.Copy !req
463. This just seems like an
excuse for her to leave.Copy !req
464. It just feels like it's somebody
else's life and not mine.Copy !req
465. Surprise.Copy !req
466. You know, I've been thinking
a lot about this prophecy.Copy !req
467. I've got a new interpretation.
Wanna hear it?Copy !req
468. Sure.Copy !req
469. May I?Copy !req
470. This Naman guy is supposed
to come from the stars...Copy !req
471. have the power of 10 men
and shoot fire from his eyes, right?Copy !req
472. It's just an allegory, Lex.Copy !req
473. I know.Copy !req
474. But if one person could do all that...Copy !req
475. he would be a formidable enemy.Copy !req
476. He could conquer the world.Copy !req
477. He could become a tyrant
if nobody kept him in check.Copy !req
478. So I've been thinking...Copy !req
479. anybody who'd be willing to fight him...Copy !req
480. would have to be pretty brave.Copy !req
481. Clark...Copy !req
482. did it ever occur to you that maybe
the hero of the story...Copy !req
483. is Sageeth?Copy !req
