1. Thank you
for the lift.Copy !req
2. With any luck, my car will be
out of the garage tomorrow.Copy !req
3. Oh, bummer.
I love being your chauffeur.Copy !req
4. We can chat, and I get to spend
a little quality timeCopy !req
5. with my new best friend.Copy !req
6. I'm proud of you, Lois.Copy !req
7. Living in your own apartment,
buying a brand-new car —Copy !req
8. you've really grown up.Copy !req
9. Oh, let's not
get carried away.Copy !req
10. The car's my safety net.Copy !req
11. When I screw up and lose my job
and apartment,Copy !req
12. I'm gonna need
somewhere to sleep.Copy !req
13. Thanks again.Copy !req
14. See ya. Bye.Copy !req
15. Bye.Copy !req
16. Shelby?Copy !req
17. Mom?Copy !req
18. Mom. Mom.Copy !req
19. Mom, wake up.
Are you okay?Copy !req
20. Mom?Copy !req
21. I — I must have fainted.Copy !req
22. I-I haven't eaten anything
today.Copy !req
23. That sound, flash of light —
what was that?Copy !req
24. What are you talking about?Copy !req
25. according to
the weather bureau,Copy !req
26. at 10:35 last night,
other than a little rain,Copy !req
27. there was nothing
over Smallville.Copy !req
28. That doesn't rule out
heat lightning.Copy !req
29. Nothing was reported.Copy !req
30. Clark, most people I know are
interested in the forecast,Copy !req
31. not the pastcast.Copy !req
32. What's going on?Copy !req
33. Last night
I heard a sound,Copy !req
34. it sounded like thunder.Copy !req
35. And then I saw
a bright light.Copy !req
36. When I went outside,
I found my mom unconscious.Copy !req
37. Oh, my God.Copy !req
38. I thought she may have been
struck by lightning.Copy !req
39. Is she all right?Copy !req
40. Perfectly fine,
like nothing happened.Copy !req
41. That's the weird part.Copy !req
42. Maybe she passed out.
Has she seen a doctor?Copy !req
43. First thing this morning,Copy !req
44. but they couldn't find
anything wrong with her.Copy !req
45. Then why are you
so worried?Copy !req
46. I just want to know
where that soundCopy !req
47. and that light
came from.Copy !req
48. Maybe someone
was setting off fireworksCopy !req
49. in the field next to you,Copy !req
50. or, you know,
maybe your superhearingCopy !req
51. picked up a car backfiring
two counties away.Copy !req
52. What does it matter?
Your mom's fine.Copy !req
53. You don't have anything
to worry about.Copy !req
54. All right,
why do I feel likeCopy !req
55. I'm getting the abridged version
of this story?Copy !req
56. I think Jor-El might have
something to do with this.Copy !req
57. Your biological father?Copy !req
58. When I died and he brought me
back, he made a deal.Copy !req
59. He's come back to collect.Copy !req
60. Don't take this
the wrong way,Copy !req
61. but after 800 pictures,
you don't get any prettier.Copy !req
62. That's enough.
Thanks, guys.Copy !req
63. How about a latte?Copy !req
64. Don't you find this
just a tad sleazy,Copy !req
65. holding a campaign photo shoot
where Martha Kent works?Copy !req
66. You might as well,
I don't know,Copy !req
67. go out to their farm
and milk their cows.Copy !req
68. In case you don't know
where your paycheck comes from,Copy !req
69. I own the talon.Copy !req
70. What don't you own?Copy !req
71. I guess now you want to own
the government.Copy !req
72. Wow.Copy !req
73. Why are you so angry, Lois?Copy !req
74. What have I ever done
to you?Copy !req
75. You just remind me of a lot
of those pseudopoliticiansCopy !req
76. I grew up around.Copy !req
77. You know, men who bought
their way into office.Copy !req
78. But do you really think
you can beat Jonathan Kent?Copy !req
79. There must be enough dirt
on youCopy !req
80. to create a landmass
the size of Texas.Copy !req
81. Please, grab a shovel
and start digging.Copy !req
82. I have nothing to hide.Copy !req
83. Let me give you
a little friendly advice.Copy !req
84. Bow out of the race
before a pesky little squirrelCopy !req
85. digs up one of
your rotten acorns.Copy !req
86. Well, thanks, Lois.Copy !req
87. You know,
there's nothing more valuableCopy !req
88. than the savvy
political adviceCopy !req
89. of a muffin-peddling
college dropout.Copy !req
90. Speaking of, do you have
banana/blueberry today?Copy !req
91. Many humans believe the earth
was created in seven days.Copy !req
92. I'm surprised it took you
that long to trust me.Copy !req
93. I want to know more
about Jor-El.Copy !req
94. What son doesn't want to learn
more about his absentee father?Copy !req
95. But, like all great figures
in history,Copy !req
96. he can only be understood
in the proper context.Copy !req
97. That's why we must start
at the very beginning, Kal-El.Copy !req
98. I don't have time, Professor.
I'm worried.Copy !req
99. He's done something
to my mother.Copy !req
100. Is your concern
based on the bargainCopy !req
101. Jor-El made with you?Copy !req
102. How do you know
about that?Copy !req
103. I know more
than you can imagine.Copy !req
104. I've been keeping an eye on you
for months.Copy !req
105. Does your mother have
any markings on her skin?Copy !req
106. No.Copy !req
107. Why, does that have something
to do with Jor-El?Copy !req
108. All in due time.Copy !req
109. Wait, he's my father.Copy !req
110. I have the right to know
everything about him.Copy !req
111. I agree.
When you're ready.Copy !req
112. I'm ready now!Copy !req
113. Impatience is such
a pathetic human trait.Copy !req
114. But I suppose
it's to be expectedCopy !req
115. from someone raised
by such a primitive race.Copy !req
116. I happen to care a great deal
about this primitive race...Copy !req
117. A lot more than I do
about Krypton.Copy !req
118. Waiting... Patiently.Copy !req
119. A Kryptonian is teaching history
at central Kansas university?Copy !req
120. I didn't believe it either
until I saw him use his powers.Copy !req
121. He can do everything
I can.Copy !req
122. You've seen
meteor-infected peopleCopy !req
123. do all kinds of things.Copy !req
124. That doesn't mean
he's Kryptonian.Copy !req
125. He calls me Kal-El,
and he knows about Krypton.Copy !req
126. Clark, I want you to steer clear
of this fellow.Copy !req
127. Clark.Copy !req
128. I didn't have a choice.Copy !req
129. What do you mean?Copy !req
130. You always have a choice,
son.Copy !req
131. Dad, I wanted to learn more
about Jor-El.Copy !req
132. I'll tell you
what you need to know —Copy !req
133. every time you've come
in contact with a Kryptonian,Copy !req
134. they've been hell-bent on death
and destruction.Copy !req
135. You can't judge an entire people
by the acts of a few.Copy !req
136. Clark is Kryptonian.Copy !req
137. Kryptonian raised by
human beings with strong values.Copy !req
138. Clark, we —
we don't have any ideaCopy !req
139. who this Professor
really is.Copy !req
140. He's done nothing
but help so far.Copy !req
141. He told me the truth about Lex.
He saved Lana.Copy !req
142. He took the silver kryptonite
out of me.Copy !req
143. But why, Clark?Copy !req
144. We have no idea
what his motives really are.Copy !req
145. I'll get it, sweetheart.Copy !req
146. Mom!Copy !req
147. I can't feel my hand.Copy !req
148. Oh, God,
my shoulder's burning.Copy !req
149. Dad,
what'd the doctors say?Copy !req
150. Well, they don't know
what it is,Copy !req
151. but they did give us
some antibioticsCopy !req
152. and said I should call
if anything got worse.Copy !req
153. Come on.Copy !req
154. They're just gonna
let her come home?Copy !req
155. The doctor said her vital signs
are perfectly normal.Copy !req
156. I found her unconscious
in the middle of the driveway.Copy !req
157. That's anything but normal.Copy !req
158. Is there something
you're not telling me, son?Copy !req
159. I'm just worried about mom.Copy !req
160. Me, too.Copy !req
161. But don't worry.
She's gonna be fine.Copy !req
162. Come on.Copy !req
163. Miss Sullivan.Copy !req
164. Mr. Luthor.Copy !req
165. What are you doing here?Copy !req
166. You have made it...Copy !req
167. To the major leagues.Copy !req
168. Congratulations.Copy !req
169. Thank you.Copy !req
170. Very, very nice.Copy !req
171. You've done quite well
for yourself.Copy !req
172. I am certain that,
sooner than later,Copy !req
173. you're gonna be working upstairs
under the Tiffany lamps.Copy !req
174. A big story certainly
would accelerate the process.Copy !req
175. Not that, um...Copy !req
176. Obituaries
and wedding announcementsCopy !req
177. don't inspire scintillating
journalism.Copy !req
178. If you're trying to feed meCopy !req
179. some sort of self-promoting
fluff piece,Copy !req
180. I'm not interested.Copy !req
181. How does it go?Copy !req
182. You can put a tuxedo
on the Fiddler,Copy !req
183. but he's still gonna play
the same old tune.Copy !req
184. That's good.Copy !req
185. You should jot that downCopy !req
186. and add it to your
page-a-day calendar.Copy !req
187. I've got to go.Copy !req
188. Miss Sullivan,
your creative passionCopy !req
189. will always be for the bizarre
and the inexplicable.Copy !req
190. That's why I think
you're the perfect reporterCopy !req
191. for this story.Copy !req
192. You have one minute.Copy !req
193. The clock is ticking.Copy !req
194. It, uh, seems there is someone
at central Kansas universityCopy !req
195. who has the astounding
abilityCopy !req
196. to run at virtually
the speed of light.Copy !req
197. Have you ever heard
of such a thing?Copy !req
198. The school is located
in Smallville,Copy !req
199. meteor-freak capital
of the world.Copy !req
200. This person can lift
an automobile with one hand,Copy !req
201. can, uh, create fire
with the blink of an eye.Copy !req
202. It's extraordinary.Copy !req
203. It sounds like a bit
of a stretch, even for me.Copy !req
204. Do you have any proof?Copy !req
205. Well, if we had proof,
there wouldn't be any needCopy !req
206. for investigative reporting,
now would there?Copy !req
207. The person's name...
Is Milton fine.Copy !req
208. He is a Professor
of world history.Copy !req
209. Why did you come to me?Copy !req
210. Frankly...Copy !req
211. I didn't think time magazine
would be interested.Copy !req
212. Good day, miss Sullivan.Copy !req
213. Professor.Copy !req
214. What, are you shaking me down
for lecture notes,Copy !req
215. or are you ready to begin
your independent study?Copy !req
216. A mark showed up on my mom.Copy !req
217. The doctors don't know
what it is.Copy !req
218. Describe it to me.Copy !req
219. It's like a bruise,
with veiny strands.Copy !req
220. Did it start
on her left shoulder?Copy !req
221. Yes.Copy !req
222. Your father tortured
his dissidents on KryptonCopy !req
223. the same exact way.Copy !req
224. What?Copy !req
225. I don't suppose I can hide
the truth from you any longer.Copy !req
226. He was a violent dictator.Copy !req
227. He ruled over KryptonCopy !req
228. with an iron grip of fear
and intimidation.Copy !req
229. Anybody who spoke out
against him was locked away...Copy !req
230. Even the great hero
of the people...Copy !req
231. Zod.Copy !req
232. Maybe if he hadn't been
captured,Copy !req
233. Zod could've stopped your father
from eviscerating the planet.Copy !req
234. My father destroyed Krypton?Copy !req
235. Billions of people died.Copy !req
236. But he made sure
his only son survived...Copy !req
237. All so that one day you could
conquer the human race...Copy !req
238. And re-create Krypton
on earth.Copy !req
239. Why should I believe you?Copy !req
240. Believe what you will.Copy !req
241. My concern is
for your mother's health.Copy !req
242. I need to see her
immediately.Copy !req
243. All right, look, my wife
needs medical attention.Copy !req
244. You're obviously
not a doctor,Copy !req
245. so why don't you make this
easier on both of usCopy !req
246. and just get
out of my way.Copy !req
247. Dad,
the doctors couldn't help.Copy !req
248. At least let him
take a look at her.Copy !req
249. It's been a day and a half
since you fell unconscious?Copy !req
250. Yes, exactly.Copy !req
251. Clark, go out
and get the truck.Copy !req
252. Martha, I'm taking you back
to the hospital, sweetheart.Copy !req
253. The doctors can't treat her,
Mr. Kent, trust me.Copy !req
254. If they puncture her skin
or use any medication,Copy !req
255. it could kill her instantly.Copy !req
256. Why should I trust you?Copy !req
257. 'Cause he's Kryptonian.Copy !req
258. This could be
a Kryptonian disease.Copy !req
259. Clark...Copy !req
260. Mom?Copy !req
261. What's happening?Copy !req
262. She needs a meteor rock.Copy !req
263. Do you have a meteor rock?Copy !req
264. Dad, in the closet!Copy !req
265. It's on the top shelf!Copy !req
266. Martha...Copy !req
267. Hold it to her forehead.Copy !req
268. Martha, Martha...Copy !req
269. Breathe, Martha.Copy !req
270. It's me. It's me.Copy !req
271. It's working.Copy !req
272. In this case,
appearances are deceiving.Copy !req
273. There is no cure.Copy !req
274. The meteor will only
help ease her pain.Copy !req
275. No.Copy !req
276. I'm sorry, Kal-El.Copy !req
277. Within a matter of hours,
your earth mother will be dead.Copy !req
278. Sweetheart.Copy !req
279. Where are you going?Copy !req
280. I'm going to see Jor-El.
Don't.Copy !req
281. He'll only feed you
more lies.
I don't care.Copy !req
282. Hey, wait a minute.Copy !req
283. Are you telling me Jor-El
is responsible for this?Copy !req
284. What's going on, Clark?Copy !req
285. When Jor-El brought me
back to life,Copy !req
286. he warned me someone close to me
would have to die.Copy !req
287. So he is going after
your mother.Copy !req
288. And why didn't you tell me
about this before?Copy !req
289. I didn't want you and mom
to worry.Copy !req
290. Well, you're the only oneCopy !req
291. that has a chance
of stopping this,Copy !req
292. so go on, do something.Copy !req
293. I won't let him kill her.Copy !req
294. Don't.Copy !req
295. Jor-El: Kal-El,
why have you come?Copy !req
296. Please!Copy !req
297. Do whatever you want to me!Copy !req
298. Leave my mother alone!Copy !req
299. I have caused your mother
no harm.Copy !req
300. No!
Don't lie to me!Copy !req
301. If I would've known
someone close to me would die,Copy !req
302. I would've given up my life
in a second!Copy !req
303. It was you who chose
to give up your powersCopy !req
304. and turn your back on me.Copy !req
305. Please let her live!Copy !req
306. I am sorry, my son.Copy !req
307. The wheel of fate has already
been set in motion.Copy !req
308. Even you cannot
alter destiny.Copy !req
309. So, what am I
looking at here?Copy !req
310. It started 48 hours ago,Copy !req
311. and it's been continuing
on and off since.Copy !req
312. What is it, a video glitch?Copy !req
313. More like an electromagnetic
tidal wave.Copy !req
314. Good afternoon, Lex.Copy !req
315. Thank you.Copy !req
316. Dad, if you've come to dispense
a dose of political advice,Copy !req
317. save your breath.Copy !req
318. I know.
I know, Lex.Copy !req
319. You have a cadre of top-shelf
professionals for that.Copy !req
320. I wonder...Copy !req
321. Do they know about
the sorts of thingsCopy !req
322. you keep hidden
behind closed doors?Copy !req
323. Ooh, you must be referringCopy !req
324. to our deep,
dark family secrets.Copy !req
325. Don't worry,
I won't embarrass you.Copy !req
326. I'm talking about what you keep
in warehouse 15.Copy !req
327. If you want to fabricate stories
to try to cripple my campaign,Copy !req
328. you won't be the first.Copy !req
329. Just make it original.Copy !req
330. It's not your campaign
I'm worried about, son.Copy !req
331. It's your legacy.Copy !req
332. You don't want to end up
an eccentric like Howard Hughes,Copy !req
333. remembered more
for his 10-inch toenailsCopy !req
334. than his contributions
to society.Copy !req
335. I'm afraid you're the eccentric
in the family, dad.Copy !req
336. Yes, but I'm not the one
running for public office.Copy !req
337. Believe me, Lex, the electorate
has little patienceCopy !req
338. for candidates obsessed
with little green men.Copy !req
339. It's time to get your house
in order, Lex.Copy !req
340. Where's my — my smile?Copy !req
341. Hmm?Copy !req
342. Are you okay, mom?Copy !req
343. Can I get you anything?Copy !req
344. Your father told me
about Jor-El, Clark.Copy !req
345. I want you to know,
I'm more than readyCopy !req
346. to give up my life
for the life of my child.Copy !req
347. Don't talk like that, mom.Copy !req
348. You've given me
so much happiness, Clark.Copy !req
349. I don't know what I would've
been without you.Copy !req
350. Without me, none of this
would have happened.Copy !req
351. Don't ever feel guilty
about this.Copy !req
352. Do you hear me?Copy !req
353. I wouldn't have it
any other way.Copy !req
354. You're gonna be fine.Copy !req
355. Look at you.
You...Copy !req
356. You're a man now, Clark.Copy !req
357. A wonderful man.Copy !req
358. My...Copy !req
359. My job's done.Copy !req
360. No, it's not, mom.Copy !req
361. You can't say that.Copy !req
362. You have to fight this.Copy !req
363. I love you, Clark.Copy !req
364. And just because
I'm... Gone...Copy !req
365. It doesn't mean
my love goes with me.Copy !req
366. I'll always be
in your heart.Copy !req
367. Always.Copy !req
368. I'm not gonna let you die.Copy !req
369. I won't let you.Copy !req
370. Baby.Copy !req
371. I don't mean
to stop the presses,Copy !req
372. but I have a favor, chlo.Copy !req
373. What else are cousins for?
Shoot.Copy !req
374. Well, you once mentioned
that Lex LuthorCopy !req
375. spent a little time
in the cuckoo's nest.Copy !req
376. Why not write a little exposé
on the mental stabilityCopy !req
377. of the great bald hope
of Kansas?Copy !req
378. I think that would
make a great story,Copy !req
379. if I could find
any shred of evidenceCopy !req
380. or a source
that would actually talk.Copy !req
381. Well, there has
to be something.Copy !req
382. Oh, there's lots of sex,
lies, and videotapesCopy !req
383. in Lex's vault.Copy !req
384. Problem is, he sleeps
with the key under his pillow.Copy !req
385. Why the sudden urge
to take down Lex?Copy !req
386. I'm just sick and tired
of rich powermongersCopy !req
387. who think they can win an
election with their checkbook.Copy !req
388. Not to mention the fact that
he called me a muffin peddler.Copy !req
389. Oh, so, basically,
he hurt your feelings.Copy !req
390. Well, sort of.
But that's beside the point.Copy !req
391. Come on, you have
to have somethingCopy !req
392. on that little hard drive
of yours.Copy !req
393. Actually,
Clark's Professor at ckuCopy !req
394. was doing some investigating
on Luthorcorp.Copy !req
395. Clark's Professor?Copy !req
396. Yeah, he's, um...
Writing a book.Copy !req
397. I actually followed him to
a Luthorcorp warehouse downtown.Copy !req
398. And what did you see?Copy !req
399. Nothing.Copy !req
400. Thanks to a little thing
called security,Copy !req
401. I couldn't get
anywhere near it.Copy !req
402. Well, now you have
your trusty sidekickCopy !req
403. along for the ride.Copy !req
404. Yeah?
Yeah.Copy !req
405. Let's go.Copy !req
406. Hey.Copy !req
407. Maybe you can help me.Copy !req
408. I'm trying to find the highway,
and I am completely lost.Copy !req
409. Hold on.
I've got a map.Copy !req
410. Go.Copy !req
411. You know, this is
a really nice car.Copy !req
412. Yeah, it is, isn't it?Copy !req
413. You can't fully
appreciate a car like thisCopy !req
414. unless you sit in it.Copy !req
415. Really?
Come on.Copy !req
416. Yeah.
Okay.Copy !req
417. Just for a minute.Copy !req
418. Go ahead.Copy !req
419. Oh-ho-ho!Copy !req
420. Ready for this?
It's amazing.Copy !req
421. There's all sorts
of really cool buttons.Copy !req
422. Um, okay,
you have a pop-up thingy.Copy !req
423. Have a look. You can put things
like, I don't know...Copy !req
424. Breath mints,
and all sorts of stuff.Copy !req
425. How's the stereo?Copy !req
426. It's fantastic.
Turn it up.Copy !req
427. And, yeah, uh, well...Copy !req
428. You know, I really got
to get back to work.Copy !req
429. Right. Okay.Copy !req
430. I love a man in uniform.Copy !req
431. Hey!Copy !req
432. How'd you get in here?Copy !req
433. Attention, cobra-niner.Copy !req
434. This is three-four-niner.
Come in.Copy !req
435. Hey.Copy !req
436. Ow.Copy !req
437. Thank you, miss andretti.Copy !req
438. Hold it!Copy !req
439. There's got to be a way
to save my mom.Copy !req
440. There must be.
I'll do anything.Copy !req
441. There is one option,
but I wouldn't recommend it.Copy !req
442. What is it?Copy !req
443. No matter how malevolent
he is,Copy !req
444. Jor-El still represents your
only connection with your past.Copy !req
445. Just tell me what it is.Copy !req
446. The only way to save your mother
is to destroy the fortress.Copy !req
447. Jor-El's will is controlling
her virus through the crystals.Copy !req
448. If you bring down
his fortress,Copy !req
449. you will save your mother
from his grip.Copy !req
450. All he's ever done
is try to ruin my life.Copy !req
451. Sadly, that was his legacy
on Krypton, as well.Copy !req
452. I want him gone.Copy !req
453. If anyone is strong enough
to get through this...Copy !req
454. It's you, sweetheart.Copy !req
455. You can't give up.Copy !req
456. You can't give up.Copy !req
457. I'll be right back.Copy !req
458. Mr. Kent, I'm so sorry,
but I have to find Clark.Copy !req
459. He's not here, Chloe.Copy !req
460. He's not with his Professor,
is he?Copy !req
461. Yeah,
they went to the cave.Copy !req
462. I've got to get to him.Copy !req
463. Okay, Milton fine is not
your ordinary phd.Copy !req
464. We know all about him.
He's trying to help with Martha.Copy !req
465. I don't know how helpful
he's actually gonna be.Copy !req
466. I'll tear this place down,
piece by piece.Copy !req
467. Just tell me
where to start.Copy !req
468. Right here.Copy !req
469. Stab it into the console.Copy !req
470. It'll trigger
a self-destruct mechanism,Copy !req
471. and Jor-El, and his fortress,
will be forever gone.Copy !req
472. What is this?Copy !req
473. It was created to defeat
your father,Copy !req
474. but Zod was a man of peace.Copy !req
475. He would only use it
as a last resort.Copy !req
476. There was never
a chance.Copy !req
477. There is now.Copy !req
478. You will never hurt
my family again.Copy !req
479. I couldn't have done it
without you.Copy !req
480. You're the only one
who could affect the fortress.Copy !req
481. Now that you've accomplished
your task,Copy !req
482. you're nothing more
than a petty annoyance.Copy !req
483. The meteor rock.Copy !req
484. You're not even Kryptonian,
are you?Copy !req
485. I was created by a Kryptonian,
but I'm a whole lot smarter.Copy !req
486. You are free, general Zod!Copy !req
487. Zod?Copy !req
488. The one true Kryptonian.Copy !req
489. Finally, he will rid
this febrile planetCopy !req
490. of the scourge of humans,Copy !req
491. and create Krypton
here on earth.Copy !req
492. Everything you said to me
was a lie!Copy !req
493. You weren't talking
about Jor-El.Copy !req
494. You really were
talking about Zod.Copy !req
495. Jor-El didn't infect my mother,
did he?Copy !req
496. You did!Copy !req
497. To think that
you would sacrificeCopy !req
498. your Kryptonian heritage
for a single homo sapien.Copy !req
499. You are a pitiful disgrace.Copy !req
500. Goodbye, Kal-El.Copy !req
501. Welcome to our new home,
general Zod.Copy !req
502. Clark?Copy !req
503. Clark!Copy !req
504. Chloe...Copy !req
505. Oh, my God!Copy !req
506. It's gone.Copy !req
507. Hey, you.Copy !req
508. Mom, are you okay?Copy !req
509. Yeah.Copy !req
510. It's amazing how wonderful
a rainstorm smellsCopy !req
511. after you think
you'll never smell one again.Copy !req
512. I can't imagine what it would be
like if you were gone.Copy !req
513. The hardest thing in life
is losing the people you love,Copy !req
514. but you'd learn to move on —
we all do.Copy !req
515. It wouldn't be easy.Copy !req
516. Dad's given me so much,
I could never measure it.Copy !req
517. But you're my heart,
my soul.Copy !req
518. Well, I...Copy !req
519. I don't plan on going anywhere
for a long, long time.Copy !req
520. Good.Copy !req
521. You know, next time
I head up north,Copy !req
522. I've got to remember
to pack a parka.Copy !req
523. How'd you get up there,
anyway?Copy !req
524. You left your key in the cave.Copy !req
525. Seriously, Clark,
you've got to be more careful.Copy !req
526. I mean, if I can get up there,
anyone can.Copy !req
527. You know,
Professor fine saidCopy !req
528. that human beings
were insignificantCopy !req
529. and couldn't be
depended on.Copy !req
530. He obviously didn't know you
very well.Copy !req
531. Please.Copy !req
532. Robo-Professor knows as much
about human nature as r2-d2.Copy !req
533. What was he, anyway?Copy !req
534. I mean, I saw him materialize
from a bunch of nuts and boltsCopy !req
535. that spilled
out of the spaceship.Copy !req
536. I guess he was
some sort ofCopy !req
537. Kryptonian
artificial intelligence.Copy !req
538. What did he want with you?Copy !req
539. He wanted me to help him free
a rebel Kryptonian named Zod.Copy !req
540. What I still
don't understandCopy !req
541. is how you got on
to fine's trail.Copy !req
542. You're not gonna like this
very much.Copy !req
543. Lionel Luthor
gave me the lead.Copy !req
544. Lionel?
How'd he know about fine?Copy !req
545. I have no clue.Copy !req
546. But I hope he doesn't know
about the spaceship.Copy !req
547. You know, Clark, you should
really get ahold of that thingCopy !req
548. before somebody else
beats you to it.Copy !req
549. There's a problem.Copy !req
550. I checked out that warehouse.
The ship's gone.Copy !req
551. Well, master of the shell game
must have moved it.Copy !req
552. Or...Copy !req
553. Or what?Copy !req
554. Or I have a bigger problem
than I thought.Copy !req
555. Lex.
Your message sounded urgent.Copy !req
556. You all right?Copy !req
557. I thought you were past
your kleptomania stage, dad,Copy !req
558. but I guess
old habits die hard.Copy !req
559. If you are accusing me
of some sort of thievery,Copy !req
560. I assure you, son,
I have no interestCopy !req
561. in your little baubles
and trinkets.Copy !req
562. You sure seemed interestedCopy !req
563. in what used to be
in my warehouse.Copy !req
564. What'd you do —Copy !req
565. pay off my security,
bribe my scientists?Copy !req
566. You're telling me you misplaced
your most prized possession?Copy !req
567. Oh, Lex.Copy !req
568. Lex, how many times
have I told you?Copy !req
569. If you don't keep a watchful eye
on the things you value,Copy !req
570. one day they will disappear.Copy !req
571. I want it back now!Copy !req
572. I wish I could oblige,Copy !req
573. but, sadly, I had nothing to do
with this unfortunate heist.Copy !req
574. I don't know
what happened to youCopy !req
575. in that meteor shower, dad,Copy !req
576. but I think
you're more connectedCopy !req
577. to what was in that warehouse
than I ever realized.Copy !req
578. Please be careful, Lex.
You're a fragile man.Copy !req
579. I don't want to see you
shattered againCopy !req
580. by your delusions...Copy !req
581. Tell me you've managed
to dig upCopy !req
582. at least a speck of dirt
on Lex.Copy !req
583. I'll take an unpaid
parking ticket at this point.Copy !req
584. I told you, Lois,Copy !req
585. Lex keeps his dirty laundry
in a cast-iron hamper.Copy !req
586. Look, I might have done this
at first because of pride,Copy !req
587. but as I started
thinking about it,Copy !req
588. I started to worry,
"what would Lex Luthor doCopy !req
589. with the power
of public office?"Copy !req
590. You know,
before we know it,Copy !req
591. he's gonna try
to rule the world.Copy !req
592. Well, if you're
that worried about it,Copy !req
593. why don't you do
something?Copy !req
594. I plan to, but the one thing
I plan on not doingCopy !req
595. is poking around
inside his warehouses.Copy !req
596. I can't believe after that whole
"Charlie's angels" escapade,Copy !req
597. all you found in there
was a bunch of fertilizer.Copy !req
598. It wasn't a complete
waste of time.Copy !req
599. No?
What did we manage to doCopy !req
600. besides put a scratch
on my brand-new car?Copy !req
601. You got to experience the chills
and thrills of journalism.Copy !req
602. Thanks, but no thanks.Copy !req
603. I don't know how
you do it,Copy !req
604. chasing story after story
that only leads to dead ends.Copy !req
605. I'd never be able
to let go.Copy !req
606. That's usually
how it starts.Copy !req
607. Hey.Copy !req
608. I know how hard
all this has been on you.Copy !req
609. How you holding up?Copy !req
610. I just don't know
how I could be so gullible.Copy !req
611. I believed
everything he said.Copy !req
612. I would've done
the same thing, son.Copy !req
613. You were trying to save
your mother.Copy !req
614. Luckily she's safe now.Copy !req
615. I think the best thing we can do
is put all this behind usCopy !req
616. and move on with our lives,
don't you?Copy !req
617. I'm not so sure.Copy !req
618. Jor-El's warning
is still out there.Copy !req
619. Clark...Copy !req
620. Your mother's virus was caused
by fine, not by Jor-El.Copy !req
621. He hasn't done anything yet
and...Copy !req
622. For all we know,
he might never do anything.Copy !req
623. Dad, we both know
that Jor-El's not the typeCopy !req
624. to just let things go.Copy !req
625. Clark,
when it comes down to it,Copy !req
626. none of us are gonna
be around forever.Copy !req
627. Now,
we can't dwell on that.Copy !req
628. I think the trick is to just
live your life to its fullest,Copy !req
629. make sure you spend as much time
as you possibly can...Copy !req
630. With the people you love.Copy !req
631. You're right.Copy !req
632. Yeah.Copy !req
