1. Pentagon officials
continue to denyCopy !req
2. any security breach
and any responsibilityCopy !req
3. for the events
of dark Thursday.Copy !req
4. Experts predicted the recovery
from dark ThursdayCopy !req
5. would take years,Copy !req
6. but here in Metropolis,
the cleanup effortCopy !req
7. has been remarkably swift.Copy !req
8. The public is stunnedCopy !req
9. at how fast rubble has been
cleared from the streets.Copy !req
10. This is Genevieve sparling
reporting...Copy !req
11. You've been out again
all night, haven't you?Copy !req
12. Can't do what I need to do
in the daylight.Copy !req
13. Clark, I know
you want to help, but...Copy !req
14. You can't single-handedly
rebuild everythingCopy !req
15. that's been destroyed.Copy !req
16. It's my mess, mom.
I need to clean it up.Copy !req
17. You're not responsible
for what happened.Copy !req
18. Zod is.Copy !req
19. Zod would not
have been releasedCopy !req
20. if, for once in my life,
I had listened to Jor-El...Copy !req
21. And done
what he asked me to do.Copy !req
22. I have chores to do.Copy !req
23. Hey.Copy !req
24. Hey.Copy !req
25. Are you okay?Copy !req
26. Yeah, I'm fine.Copy !req
27. Clark, wait, wait, wait.Copy !req
28. I've never seen you
this worn out.Copy !req
29. Even you have your limits.Copy !req
30. The chores can wait.Copy !req
31. I'm okay.Copy !req
32. Really, I'm fine.Copy !req
33. Ah— ah—Copy !req
34. ah-choo!Copy !req
35. What the hell?Copy !req
36. for someone
about to change addresses,Copy !req
37. you're traveling
pretty light.Copy !req
38. Yeah. Well, I don't need a lot.
It's only temporary.Copy !req
39. They think the school should
reopen by next semester.Copy !req
40. It was nice of you to offer
me a room at the mansion.Copy !req
41. I don't know
what I would have done.Copy !req
42. Lex, if you're not okay
with thisCopy !req
43. and having second thoughts,
then let's talk.Copy !req
44. There's nothing
to talk about.Copy !req
45. Everything's great.Copy !req
46. Clark, was that the first time
you ever sneezed?Copy !req
47. Mm-hmm, and the first time
I've had a scratchy throatCopy !req
48. with my ears
all plugged up.Copy !req
49. 98.6.Copy !req
50. No fever.Copy !req
51. I'm no doctor, but it seems like
it's just a common cold.Copy !req
52. You're far
from common, Clark.Copy !req
53. I don't remember you ever
even having the sniffles.Copy !req
54. I've never pushed myself so far
into overdrive before.Copy !req
55. You said
when you were in that zone,Copy !req
56. your powers were gone.Copy !req
57. That means your immune system
was normal.Copy !req
58. You could have been exposed
to something there.Copy !req
59. Whatever it is,
I'm not really that sick.Copy !req
60. Hey.Copy !req
61. You guys are not gonna believe
what just happened to me.Copy !req
62. I'm out there jogging along,
minding my own businessCopy !req
63. when, out of nowhere,
a barn doorCopy !req
64. comes falling
from the clear, blue skyCopy !req
65. and almost crushes me.Copy !req
66. How does that happen?Copy !req
67. Maybe it fell
from an airplane.Copy !req
68. Good guess,
but the only thing up thereCopy !req
69. was a severely
traumatized sparrow.Copy !req
70. Uh-oh, does clarky
have the sniffles?Copy !req
71. It's just a little cold.Copy !req
72. Well, lucky for you, I have
the perfect remedy —Copy !req
73. honey and a little bit
of cayenne pepper.Copy !req
74. Works every time.Copy !req
75. First you sneeze
a bunch of times,Copy !req
76. but then
you're pretty much cured.Copy !req
77. Lois, I'll pass.Copy !req
78. I think we're all out
of cayenne, Lois.Copy !req
79. No, you're not.Copy !req
80. I'm gonna whip up
a little bitCopy !req
81. of something here.Copy !req
82. Where did
your barn door go?Copy !req
83. It was here
late last nightCopy !req
84. when I came to drop off
the documents,Copy !req
85. and now it's gone.Copy !req
86. Look at that.
It is gone.Copy !req
87. And it's been ripped
right off its hinges.Copy !req
88. Oh, my God,
that barn door.Copy !req
89. I knew it looked familiar.Copy !req
90. Now, how in the world
does that happen?Copy !req
91. Mr. pontius.Copy !req
92. What the hell
am I paying you for?Copy !req
93. I was followed again today.Copy !req
94. Black range rover,
edge city plates?Copy !req
95. I tracked it
to an abandoned factoryCopy !req
96. on 5th and Hayworth.Copy !req
97. Why are you still here?Copy !req
98. I'm on my way.Copy !req
99. I want this taken care of
by any means necessary.Copy !req
100. Do you understand?Copy !req
101. I had no idea
I was moving into a fortress.Copy !req
102. Everywhere I turn, there's
another security guard.Copy !req
103. Lana, that gentleman's
not a security guard.Copy !req
104. He's a private investigator.Copy !req
105. Over the last few days, it's
become clear I'm being followed.Copy !req
106. By who?Copy !req
107. Well, I doubt I have
to look much furtherCopy !req
108. than the lowest branch
in the family tree, but...Copy !req
109. I can't be sure.Copy !req
110. Have you called the police?Copy !req
111. After breaking
every law imaginableCopy !req
112. while I was inhabited
by Zod,Copy !req
113. I don't want to go
anywhere near a badge.Copy !req
114. I can't trust anyone,
not even my own security.Copy !req
115. You can trust me.Copy !req
116. Of course I can.Copy !req
117. And I want you
to have this...Copy !req
118. In case of an emergency.Copy !req
119. He's the best p.I.
In Metropolis.Copy !req
120. If anything happens to me,
you need to call that number,Copy !req
121. not the police.Copy !req
122. Robert pontius
will make sure you're safe.Copy !req
123. Lex, don't talk like that.Copy !req
124. I'm just being cautious.Copy !req
125. Chloe...Copy !req
126. How's this for a megadose
of guilt money?Copy !req
127. Well, uh...Copy !req
128. I've got bigger news.Copy !req
129. What happened?
Is everything all right?Copy !req
130. I sneezed.Copy !req
131. And?Copy !req
132. And?
Chloe, that's not normal.Copy !req
133. Clark, nothing with you
is exactly normal,Copy !req
134. but I wouldn't call sneezing
today's headline.Copy !req
135. You don't understand.
I —Copy !req
136. I was —Copy !req
137. you what?Copy !req
138. Grab a tissue
and get over it.Copy !req
139. Ah-choo!Copy !req
140. What the hell is that?Copy !req
141. Did someone
open a window?Copy !req
142. Gesundheit.Copy !req
143. I tried to warn you.Copy !req
144. I've come down
with some sort of cold.Copy !req
145. And become
a walking air Cannon.Copy !req
146. Let's get you out of here
before you blow again.Copy !req
147. At least I was able to cover
half my face that time.Copy !req
148. This morning I —Copy !req
149. I blew the barn door halfway
across small county.Copy !req
150. It almost hit Lois.Copy !req
151. Lois, as in Lane?Copy !req
152. Now she's on a one-woman crusade
to find an explanation.Copy !req
153. She won't stop digging
until she hits China.Copy !req
154. I'll take care of Lois.Copy !req
155. You just take care
of that cold.Copy !req
156. We have enough
natural disasters around hereCopy !req
157. without having to worry
about hurricane ClarkCopy !req
158. looming off the coast.Copy !req
159. No!Copy !req
160. Just kidding.Copy !req
161. Well, I forgot
what a concerned parent you are.Copy !req
162. That's why you're having me
followed, isn't it?Copy !req
163. To make sure I don't destroy
the rest of the world?Copy !req
164. If I were having
you followed, son,Copy !req
165. you would never know it.Copy !req
166. I can guarantee you that.Copy !req
167. I hate to disappoint you,Copy !req
168. but whatever powers I had
are long gone.Copy !req
169. So if you're looking
for an encore performance,Copy !req
170. you're out of luck.Copy !req
171. Elvis has left the building.Copy !req
172. You want to find out
who's stalking you?Copy !req
173. I suggest you concentrateCopy !req
174. on remembering
every little minute detailCopy !req
175. of that horrific day.Copy !req
176. Well, I guess
I should have kept a blog...Copy !req
177. Because I suffered
a total memory loss.Copy !req
178. Besides what Lana has told me,
those 24 hours are gone.Copy !req
179. The atrocities
you committed —Copy !req
180. they could have been
witnessed by anyone.Copy !req
181. Lex, please,
let me help you.Copy !req
182. I've been on the receiving end
of your help before, dad.Copy !req
183. I think I'll pass.Copy !req
184. Listen to me.Copy !req
185. There are
some adversariesCopy !req
186. that cannot be
defeated alone!Copy !req
187. Lex! Lex!Copy !req
188. The bear
is hibernating, over.Copy !req
189. How you doing?Copy !req
190. This is one part about
being human I don't envy.Copy !req
191. It's not all that bad.Copy !req
192. You can lie on the couch
all day and watch DVDsCopy !req
193. while your mom makes some
doctor-certified chicken soup.Copy !req
194. Mom, I can watch DVDs after
I fix the irrigation ditch.Copy !req
195. No, your health is
a lot more importantCopy !req
196. than the irrigation ditch.Copy !req
197. You're in
uncharted waters now, Clark,Copy !req
198. and your dad's not here
to help us out, so...Copy !req
199. Please, you have to trust
my instincts and rest.Copy !req
200. Okay?Copy !req
201. Lionel.
Is everything all right?Copy !req
202. Lex.
He's gone.Copy !req
203. I think he's been abducted.Copy !req
204. Who do you think's behind it?Copy !req
205. Considering what he stole
from the Pentagon,Copy !req
206. my initial reaction
was the, uh... Government,Copy !req
207. but after I spoke
to my contacts in Washington,Copy !req
208. I don't think so.Copy !req
209. You have to find him, Clark.Copy !req
210. Why? Lex and I
have nothing to doCopy !req
211. with each other anymore.Copy !req
212. But you and Zod do.Copy !req
213. Lex insists he can't remember
anything that happenedCopy !req
214. when he was possessed by Zod,Copy !req
215. but he might not be honest
about it.Copy !req
216. He might remember it all.Copy !req
217. Whoever his captors are, if they
put enough pressure on him,Copy !req
218. he could tell the truth...Copy !req
219. About you.Copy !req
220. Well, good morning,
Mr. invincible.Copy !req
221. Where am I?Copy !req
222. In your cage,
where every lab rat belongs.Copy !req
223. Oh, and before
you even try escaping,Copy !req
224. you might want to consider
you're hooked upCopy !req
225. to enough wattage
to drop an elephant.Copy !req
226. Who are you?Copy !req
227. Just someone who's interestedCopy !req
228. in how you possess
superhuman powers.Copy !req
229. Powers?Copy !req
230. I don't know
what you're talking about.Copy !req
231. Oh, come on, Lex!Copy !req
232. We both know you were the one
at the Pentagon,Copy !req
233. swatting away those bullets
like they were mosquitoes...Copy !req
234. And not even a scratch.Copy !req
235. Yeah, see, we...Copy !req
236. We saw it on the only working
satellite on dark Thursday.Copy !req
237. So we know
you have the powers.Copy !req
238. We kind of want
to know how you got them.Copy !req
239. My people
are already onto you.Copy !req
240. Your people?Copy !req
241. I think that's the guyCopy !req
242. that I caught kind of
roaming around outside.Copy !req
243. Pontius, right?Copy !req
244. That's the guy
with the bullet in his head.Copy !req
245. Enough foreplay.Copy !req
246. All right?
Let's get this started.Copy !req
247. You're gonna
tell me everything.Copy !req
248. See, I told you.Copy !req
249. I am no chicken little,
and that is no acorn.Copy !req
250. Whoa.Copy !req
251. How is that
even remotely conceivable?Copy !req
252. The kents live Miles
away from here.Copy !req
253. It's definitely weird.
I'll give you that.Copy !req
254. But it's not
"wall of weird."Copy !req
255. It's called a microburst.Copy !req
256. Micro what?Copy !req
257. It's like
a sudden, mini tornado.Copy !req
258. It happens when there
are extreme changesCopy !req
259. in the temperature.Copy !req
260. It's actually not that unheard
of in the midwest.Copy !req
261. It was sunny and 75.Copy !req
262. There was nothing extreme
about the weather.Copy !req
263. Well, you might not
have felt it.Copy !req
264. It was probably
in the upper atmosphere.Copy !req
265. But there must have been
some sort of changeCopy !req
266. in the barometric pressures.Copy !req
267. Either you've been watching
too much weather channelCopy !req
268. or a year
at the daily planetCopy !req
269. has turned you
into a hardened skeptic.Copy !req
270. It's called being realistic.Copy !req
271. You might want to try it
once in a while.Copy !req
272. You were the one
who always told meCopy !req
273. that science can explain
only a fractionCopy !req
274. of what happens
in this crazy town.Copy !req
275. And this happens to fall
into that fraction.Copy !req
276. Look, Lois, I still believe
in the paranormal.Copy !req
277. Trust me.Copy !req
278. But you have
to accept the factCopy !req
279. that sometimes the answers
you're looking forCopy !req
280. are no further away
than the front pagesCopy !req
281. of your scientific American.Copy !req
282. What are you doing
with the gun?Copy !req
283. We were specifically told
not to use violence.Copy !req
284. So?Copy !req
285. I don't answer
to anybody, okay?Copy !req
286. Especially your boss.Copy !req
287. What I want to know is how
bullets bounced off his bodyCopy !req
288. like ping-pong balls.Copy !req
289. Now, information like that
is very valuableCopy !req
290. on the open market.Copy !req
291. You were
specifically hired to —Copy !req
292. yeah, well, guess what.Copy !req
293. I'm an entrepreneur, okay?Copy !req
294. So either you join
my newest venture,Copy !req
295. or you can end up
like the pontius guy.Copy !req
296. Your choice.Copy !req
297. Hey, Lex!Copy !req
298. Hey, I was thinking.Copy !req
299. Why don't we try
a little experiment?Copy !req
300. What are you doing?Copy !req
301. I told you, I don't remember
any of it happening.Copy !req
302. Yeah, but it did.Copy !req
303. And I want to see it
happen again.Copy !req
304. Please don't.
No.Copy !req
305. Aah!Copy !req
306. Ohh!Copy !req
307. Oh, God!Copy !req
308. Lois...Copy !req
309. What are you doing here?Copy !req
310. I wanted to personally
hand-deliver this articleCopy !req
311. to your editor.Copy !req
312. An article?
You're a journalist now?Copy !req
313. Yeah.Copy !req
314. Wow!
That's a lot of words.Copy !req
315. Well, the Smallville ledger
was way too small-mindedCopy !req
316. to appreciate
investigative reportage,Copy !req
317. so I thought the planet
would be the perfect publisher.Copy !req
318. Lois, I hate to be the oneCopy !req
319. to rain
on your pulitzer parade,Copy !req
320. but I really don't think
that a story about weatherCopy !req
321. is gonna stand a chance
when we're still dealingCopy !req
322. with the aftermath
of dark Thursday.Copy !req
323. No, this story is way more than
about wild weather, okay?Copy !req
324. Not only is it an exposé
on the paranormal,Copy !req
325. it is a story about human
triumph over adversity.Copy !req
326. That barn door could have
chopped me in half.Copy !req
327. Read it.Copy !req
328. Funny, I don't remember there
being an "e" in "tornado."Copy !req
329. Just a little typo.Copy !req
330. Hmm, and the extra "h"
in "weather"?Copy !req
331. You know what I think?Copy !req
332. I think that you're just
a little bit jealousCopy !req
333. that you're not the only one
in the familyCopy !req
334. with a natural way
with words.Copy !req
335. Really?Copy !req
336. Well, lo, you know,
you're right.Copy !req
337. I might be jealous of you,Copy !req
338. but words have nothing
to do with it.Copy !req
339. Fine.Copy !req
340. Forget the daily planet.Copy !req
341. I don't need this stuffy,
pseudo-intellectual rag.Copy !req
342. Out there somewhere
is a newspaperCopy !req
343. that knows a story
when they see one.Copy !req
344. Well, good luck.Copy !req
345. Thank you.Copy !req
346. Lana...Copy !req
347. What are you doing here?Copy !req
348. Actually,
I'm living here now.Copy !req
349. If you're looking for Lex,
he's not here.Copy !req
350. Lex has gone missing, Lana.Copy !req
351. I think he may have
been kidnapped.Copy !req
352. Oh, God.Copy !req
353. Has he mentioned
any recent threats against him?Copy !req
354. Lana, if you have
any informationCopy !req
355. that may help me find him...Copy !req
356. I don't understand, Clark.Copy !req
357. Why are you the leader
of this search party?Copy !req
358. Lana, no matter what
my differences are with Lex,Copy !req
359. I don't want
to see him get hurt.Copy !req
360. Or maybe you have
your own reasons?Copy !req
361. Clark, how did you know that
Lex was going to be transformedCopy !req
362. into that monster
before anyone else?Copy !req
363. Did you tell Lex about this?Copy !req
364. Not yet.Copy !req
365. Clark, I want an answer.Copy !req
366. You can't keep secrets
when Lex's life is in danger.Copy !req
367. If I had all the answers,
I wouldn't be here, Lana.Copy !req
368. I just want to help find Lex.Copy !req
369. Then do it.Copy !req
370. Don't pretend
you're doing it for him.Copy !req
371. You've reached
pontius security.Copy !req
372. Leave a message.Copy !req
373. I have no choice
but to sever our ties.Copy !req
374. I was followed again today.Copy !req
375. Black range rover,
edge city plates?Copy !req
376. I tracked it
to an abandoned factoryCopy !req
377. on 5th and Hayworth.Copy !req
378. What is it that turns
a weak, hairless punkCopy !req
379. into some
superhuman goliath?Copy !req
380. I honestly don't know.Copy !req
381. Well, I honestly
don't believe you.Copy !req
382. And we know Luthorcorp
conducts researchCopy !req
383. involving genetically
enhanced human strength.Copy !req
384. Now, you obviously did
something to yourself.Copy !req
385. What was it?Copy !req
386. You really want to know?Copy !req
387. A being
from another dimension —Copy !req
388. actually, another planet —Copy !req
389. inhabited my body
and gave me powers.Copy !req
390. It sounds ridiculous,
but it's true.Copy !req
391. When he left me,
the powers went with him.Copy !req
392. That's it.Copy !req
393. That's all I know.Copy !req
394. Are you mocking me?Copy !req
395. Now, why would I mock a guy
who just shot me?Copy !req
396. You know, the first gunshot
was a minor flesh wound, Lex.Copy !req
397. But this one may sting
a little more.Copy !req
398. Do you want to keep
your new girlfriend happy?Copy !req
399. All right!
All right, you win.Copy !req
400. There's a serum.Copy !req
401. It's in a lab on the 33rd floor
of Luthorcorp.Copy !req
402. It's in the vault
in the center cabinet.Copy !req
403. The code is julian452.Copy !req
404. Wagner, go.Copy !req
405. Lionel Luthor.Copy !req
406. All those hostile takeovers
haven't aged you a bit.Copy !req
407. Tell me,
what's your secret?Copy !req
408. Well, perhaps I should give
some credit to a nightly nip.Copy !req
409. This 40-year-old
highland scotchCopy !req
410. certainly helps
to smooth the stress.Copy !req
411. I vigorously recommend it.Copy !req
412. Welcome to Metropolis, Oliver.Copy !req
413. It's a nice gesture.Copy !req
414. So I guess I shouldn't be
surprised, should I?Copy !req
415. You've always been
so generous.Copy !req
416. Yeah.Copy !req
417. You know, Oliver,
when I read in the papers,Copy !req
418. "Oliver queen moves to
Metropolis," I was very curious.Copy !req
419. You've made such a name
for yourself in star city.Copy !req
420. Why would you relocate?Copy !req
421. Well...Copy !req
422. How can you resist
these views?Copy !req
423. Not to mention the crisp,
midwestern air.Copy !req
424. You had a chance to touch base
with my son yet?Copy !req
425. Haven't had a chance.
Been meaning to.Copy !req
426. How is old Lex doing,
by the way?Copy !req
427. Has he finally managed to step
out of your shadow?Copy !req
428. Oh, he's changed a lot
since your, uh...Copy !req
429. Boarding-school
days together.Copy !req
430. Hmm.
Well, we all have.Copy !req
431. You know what, Lionel?
You've inspired me.Copy !req
432. I'm gonna give him a call.
Yeah.Copy !req
433. I'll call him today.Copy !req
434. You could have a hard time
reaching him.Copy !req
435. Lex, it seems,
has been abducted.Copy !req
436. He's been abducted.Copy !req
437. My God.Copy !req
438. Oh.
Oh, oliv—Copy !req
439. I remember,
in the excelsior school plays,Copy !req
440. you were always so good.
So convincing.Copy !req
441. Lionel, I'm involved
in a lot of business ventures,Copy !req
442. as you know.Copy !req
443. But I can assure you...Copy !req
444. kidnapping is
not one of them.Copy !req
445. I remember you have an
unpleasant history with my son.Copy !req
446. And I know queen industriesCopy !req
447. had the only working satellite
on dark Thursday.Copy !req
448. Hmm.Copy !req
449. I know.
I know, Oliver.Copy !req
450. You've suffered through a lot
in your young life,Copy !req
451. but if you have so much
as laid a hand on Lex,Copy !req
452. the word "suffer"Copy !req
453. will take on
a whole new meaning to you.Copy !req
454. Sounds like a threat.Copy !req
455. Have a pleasant stay
in Metropolis, Oliver...Copy !req
456. however brief it is.Copy !req
457. Hey.
Hey.Copy !req
458. I never thought
I'd utter these words,Copy !req
459. but you don't look so hot.Copy !req
460. I don't feel so hot.Copy !req
461. Had to bail out of superspeed
around 3rd AvenueCopy !req
462. and jogged the rest
of the way.Copy !req
463. Then take a seat.
Calm down.Copy !req
464. But if you feel even the
slightest inkling of a sneeze,Copy !req
465. you cover your face
and ziploc it shut, okay?Copy !req
466. I went to Lex's mansion.Copy !req
467. I saw Lana.Copy !req
468. So you know about their
new domestic partnership.Copy !req
469. It's like we don't even know
each other anymore.Copy !req
470. I told her about Lex.
She...Copy !req
471. She made a phone call to
someone named Robert pontius.Copy !req
472. The highest-paid Sam spade
in Metropolis?Copy !req
473. Maybe Lex knew
he was in trouble.Copy !req
474. I want to talk to this guy
and see what he knows.Copy !req
475. When you escaped from the
Kryptonian land of the lost,Copy !req
476. I bet you didn't think
that you'd be rewardedCopy !req
477. by having to save Lex LuthorCopy !req
478. while battling
a raging head cold, huh?Copy !req
479. Not exactly the goodbye gift
I was expecting, no.Copy !req
480. I guess heroes
don't get sick days.Copy !req
481. They also don't put the world in
jeopardy on an annual basis.Copy !req
482. I'm no hero, Chloe.Copy !req
483. There it is.
515 grant street.Copy !req
484. Okay, let's get out of here.Copy !req
485. Chloe.
This could be dangerous.Copy !req
486. Yeah, especially for you.
You barely got here.Copy !req
487. You need to conserve
your energy.Copy !req
488. Oh, God.Copy !req
489. Ah-choo!Copy !req
490. Quick hands.Copy !req
491. You're getting good
at that.Copy !req
492. Chloe, it's Lana.Copy !req
493. Whenever you get this message,Copy !req
494. I need you
to check out an address —Copy !req
495. 1024 Hayworth.Copy !req
496. Call me.Copy !req
497. Looking for Lex?Copy !req
498. You okay?Copy !req
499. Perfect.Copy !req
500. God, and I was expecting ceiling
fans and cigarette butts.Copy !req
501. I think this guy
can afford central air.Copy !req
502. All right, I'm a decent hacker,
but I'm not a miracle worker.Copy !req
503. You really don't give me
enough credit for this stuff.Copy !req
504. It's not that easy.Copy !req
505. Chloe...Copy !req
506. With these encryptions,
it's gonna take me hoursCopy !req
507. to get into Lex's account.Copy !req
508. Chloe...Copy !req
509. There's a hidden door
in the wall.Copy !req
510. Even with a stuffy nose,
you still got it.Copy !req
511. What's wrong?Copy !req
512. Guess I'm not 100%.Copy !req
513. Yeah, I can see that.Copy !req
514. Looks like your batteries
are running seriously low.Copy !req
515. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
516. What about a sneeze?Copy !req
517. What about it?Copy !req
518. If your sneeze
could blow a barn doorCopy !req
519. 7 Miles across Smallville,Copy !req
520. I bet you anything you could
take that one out no problem.Copy !req
521. Chloe, I just
can't force it.Copy !req
522. Why not?
You can do anything.Copy !req
523. Except sneeze on command.Copy !req
524. It's a reflex,
not a circus trick.Copy !req
525. Then blow.Copy !req
526. That's not funny.Copy !req
527. I'm not kidding.Copy !req
528. With a sneeze like yours,Copy !req
529. that says a lot
about your lung capacity.Copy !req
530. Now just take
a really deep breathCopy !req
531. and blow it out
as hard as you can.Copy !req
532. That is a steel door.
It's not a birthday cake.Copy !req
533. I don't see
anything else working.Copy !req
534. Come on.
Let's see what you got.Copy !req
535. Huff, puff,
and blow this door down.Copy !req
536. Good thing you didn't have
garlic today.Copy !req
537. Okay, so either pontius
is interestedCopy !req
538. in purchasing
a used-furniture warehouse or —Copy !req
539. this is
where he thinks Lex is.Copy !req
540. Taxi's leaving.
Let's roll.Copy !req
541. You're not rolling anywhere.Copy !req
542. In my condition, I can't
guarantee your safety.Copy !req
543. I don't want a guarantee, Clark.
I want to help.Copy !req
544. Then go back to the planet.
Wait for me there.Copy !req
545. Clark, I don't —Copy !req
546. Lex! Lex,
what have they done to you?Copy !req
547. What is she doing here?Copy !req
548. Well, Lex, let's just sayCopy !req
549. that she's here to spend
a little quality time with you.Copy !req
550. Let her go.
You don't need her.Copy !req
551. See, that's
not quite true.Copy !req
552. Because now that
we have your serum,Copy !req
553. we're gonna need
somebody to use it on.Copy !req
554. And, uh...Copy !req
555. I'd say your girlfriendCopy !req
556. is as good a Guinea pig
as anyone, wouldn't you?Copy !req
557. Now, in case...Copy !req
558. This stuff really does turn
you into some kind of...Copy !req
559. Superchick...Copy !req
560. Just remember there's a gunCopy !req
561. pointed
at your boyfriend's head.Copy !req
562. Get away from me.Copy !req
563. Wait.
It won't work on her.Copy !req
564. The serum was tailored
for my blood chemistry.Copy !req
565. Lex, no.Copy !req
566. Well...Copy !req
567. Then I guess it's time to wake
the sleeping dragon, huh?Copy !req
568. Unh!Copy !req
569. Get back!Copy !req
570. Stay back.Copy !req
571. Bitch.Copy !req
572. Aah!Copy !req
573. See if there's anything
to cut this fence with.Copy !req
574. Unh!Copy !req
575. Aah!Copy !req
576. Lex, the hatch.Copy !req
577. Come on, help me!Copy !req
578. Push!Copy !req
579. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
580. Hey!Copy !req
581. I brought something
for us to doCopy !req
582. in case the lake's too cold
to swim in.Copy !req
583. And the great thingCopy !req
584. is we don't have to wait
for it to get windy.Copy !req
585. Gee, thanks?Copy !req
586. Come on.Copy !req
587. Doesn't it make you wonder what
else the possibilities are?Copy !req
588. I mean, Clark Kent airlines,
nonstop to Metropolis.Copy !req
589. Miracles
really do happen.Copy !req
590. Man walked on the moon,
call waiting was created,Copy !req
591. and Lois Lane
got her first by-lineCopy !req
592. on the front page
of the inquisitor.Copy !req
593. Hey, that's great, lo.Copy !req
594. I don't know how I feel
about the alien angle, but...Copy !req
595. I wasn't too crazy
about the e.T. Spin, either,Copy !req
596. but my editor insisted
it'd help sell papers, so...Copy !req
597. Well, let's hear it
for journalistic integrity.Copy !req
598. Look, I swear, you guys,
when I was writing that article,Copy !req
599. I don't think I've ever been
happier in my life.Copy !req
600. The thrill of discovery,
the clacking of keys,Copy !req
601. the scent of fresh ink.Copy !req
602. Yeah, I think
I've finally found my calling.Copy !req
603. Hey, how about
you come join us at the lake?Copy !req
604. We can celebrate your
first article with a splash.Copy !req
605. Have you looked
up in the sky lately?Copy !req
606. Looks like it's gonna rain,Copy !req
607. and since I don't like
swimming in the rain,Copy !req
608. I'll see you guys around.Copy !req
609. Whoa.Copy !req
610. It works.Copy !req
611. Hey.Copy !req
612. When I moved in,
you forgot to mentionCopy !req
613. I'd be living
with big brother.Copy !req
614. Lana, those are
just security camerasCopy !req
615. to ensure the safety
of everyone on this property.Copy !req
616. I see.Copy !req
617. Was I breaching security
when I was alone in my bedroom?Copy !req
618. Lana...Copy !req
619. Okay, you clearly have
the wrong idea.Copy !req
620. Those cameras are only viewed
if there's an emergency.Copy !req
621. I would never invade
your privacy like that.Copy !req
622. But you already have.Copy !req
623. Lex...Copy !req
624. The cameras go, or I do.Copy !req
625. The camera in your room
will be down within the hour,Copy !req
626. but the rest of them stay.Copy !req
627. You're free to make other
arrangements, Lana, but...Copy !req
628. This is the way I live.Copy !req
629. And it's not gonna change.Copy !req
630. Thought I made myself clear.Copy !req
631. You were only to use violence
if you were in danger.Copy !req
632. Mr. queen, I told you.Copy !req
633. Block went rogue.Copy !req
634. I tried to stop him, but
he would have killed me, too.Copy !req
635. Well, we couldn't have that
now, could we?Copy !req
636. I guess I'm just gonna have
to start being more carefulCopy !req
637. as to who I trust.Copy !req
638. Speaking of which,
how's my old buddy Lex doing?Copy !req
639. Whatever powers he had
are clearly gone.Copy !req
640. But, sir, there was
someone else in the warehouse...Copy !req
641. Someone who seems
to have other abilities.Copy !req
642. Find him.Copy !req
643. How about...Copy !req
644. borneo?Copy !req
