1. I don't think this blindfold thing's gonna work, Jimmy.

2. I know these halls better than anyone.

3. Hey, it's not my surprise you're spoiling.

4. All right.

5. But I can't get too far away. I need to hear the phone.

6. All right.

7. I transferred your line in here.

8. It's not your fault you got stuck on duty

9. during senator Burke's visit.

10. But unless he makes a pit stop to the pole-dancing parlor...

11. then we can still make it a date.

12. Jimmy.

13. Have I mentioned that you are the best boyfriend

14. a girl could have?

15. Right back at you, sweetheart.

16. I figured you could use an escape

17. from your real-life soap opera.

18. What do you mean?

19. Well, you live it every day, but from the outside.

20. Your life's got cagney and stanwyck written all over it.

21. You've got your billionaire mogul.

22. You got the confused damsel who chose money over love,

23. and a mysterious best friend who shows up everywhere

24. because he can't seem to get a real job.

25. Not to mention the steadfast dame they all depend on.

26. Wow.

27. A real glimpse into the mind of Jimmy Olsen.

28. Not bad.

29. Fyi — "dame"?

30. Not so flattering.

31. What's your name?

32. Riley. Doghouse Riley.

33. That's a funny kind of name.

34. Think so? Uh-huh.

35. What are you?

36. Prizefighter?

37. No, I'm a shamus. What's a shamus?

38. It's a private detective.

39. You're making fun of me.

40. They don't make them like they used to.

41. Movies or people?

42. You're cute.

43. Thank you.

44. No.

45. That wasn't from — the movie.

46. Jimmy!

47. no. Tell them we're on our way up.

48. Female, early 20s, gunshot wound to the chest.

49. She gonna be all right?

50. She's hurt pretty badly. Come on, Clark.

51. I'm sorry, Lana.

52. I'm sorry I got you caught up in all this.

53. I'll find whoever did this.

54. I'll find them.

55. Okay, Mr. Luthor, we've got to move her.

56. Let's get her out of here now.

57. Where is she?

58. She is being medevacked to her specialist in Smallville.

59. She was with you at the opera.

60. Yeah. And you didn't show up.

61. So I dropped your wife at her car.

62. This was about an hour ago.

63. You better hope she's all right.

64. Now, I know someone as alert and amazing at his job

65. as you must be,

66. you must have some idea what happened here.

67. Nice try, miss Lane.

68. It's not gonna work.

69. Well, a girl's got to try, right?

70. Hey, Phil, got a sec? Excuse me.

71. Oh, man, I am such a klutz.

72. I'm so sorry.

73. So, the police think it was a mugging.

74. A mugging? Inside the building?

75. Now, normally, I'd be the first person to cry "foul play,"

76. but she was downtown, middle of the night,

77. fancy dress, stolen purse —

78. he probably jumped her before she knew what was happening.

79. Am I the only one that thinks it's weird

80. that she was wining and dining with daddy warbucks

81. instead of Lex?

82. Wait, whoever attacked her is still out there.

83. Jimmy and I saw him flee, and he did get away.

84. But the police will run prints on the gun.

85. Which the mugger thoughtfully left behind.

86. What was Lana doing here in the middle of the night, anyways?

87. I should have been watching her.

88. Ever since she married Lex, I've been so angry —

89. tell me you are not making this your fault.

90. I've always been there for her until now.

91. I got to find out who did this.

92. Well, the police aren't saying much.

93. But maybe you'll have better luck.

94. Jimmy, I need you to download the photo of Lana's attacker.

95. I...

96. Don't even ask her.

97. She never remembers anyway.

98. Just what did she forget about Sean Regan?

99. What did she tell you?

100. Not half as much as you just did.

101. Take it easy.

102. I don't slap so good around this time of the evening.

103. Here you are, Boyd.

104. Hello.

105. I'll take care of it right away.

106. Boyd.

107. Boyd.

108. Sleeping on the job — what's the big idea?

109. I don't — I can't...

110. "I don't"? "I can't"?

111. What's gotten into you, Jimmy Olsen?

112. The whole town is hopping with the senator's visit,

113. and you're on the first train to dreamland.

114. Now, I didn't take a job slinging coffee for just anyone.

115. I picked the best, I tell you. The best.

116. The daily planet's never seen a reporter like you,

117. and I plan on keeping it that way.

118. Oh!

119. Jeez!

120. I'm sorry.

121. Miss Sullivan, we haven't even met yet,

122. and already, I've ruined your blouse.

123. This is very...

124. Um, Clark Kent.

125. With a "k," Kent.

126. I'm Clark Kent.

127. Chloe Sullivan, and it's quite all right.

128. What's with the glasses?

129. Special delivery up in the mail room.

130. So, what, I'm supposed to answer your phone, now, too?

131. Hello?

132. Olsen here.

133. I hear you're the best.

134. I want to report a murder.

135. Whose?

136. Mine.

137. I hope I didn't keep you waiting, Mr. Olsen.

138. Well, how do you like that?

139. The untouchable Lana Luthor.

140. Seems a lot of people got a lot of ideas about me.

141. Listen, I don't know if this is such a good idea.

142. Your old man's got to own half of Metropolis,

143. not to mention a certain building at 1000 Broadway.

144. Big globe on top.

145. This talking could lose me my job.

146. Better your job than my life.

147. My husband's trying to kill me.

148. Now, why would you believe a thing like that?

149. The other day, I was crossing 6th street when, out of nowhere,

150. this car veered right toward me and sped away.

151. It was no accident, Jimmy.

152. You don't mind if I call you "Jimmy," do you?

153. Well, actually, it's James.

154. You're so confident and so brave, and I'm so afraid.

155. I wonder if you could spare a bit of your strength for me.

156. Please?

157. I always knew something didn't sit right with Luthor.

158. It's just a shame a girl like you

159. had to get caught up in this rotten business.

160. You have any proof?

161. I knew I could count on you.

162. My husband's been sneaking out at night.

163. I found this in his pocket.

164. Consider it a thank-you for your help.

165. I'm here to see a friend.

166. Ain't everyone?

167. Look, I don't want any trouble, honest.

168. I just —

169. The kid's with me.

170. Eyes back in your head, Olsen.

171. I didn't peg you as the kind of guy with a secret identity.

172. And you're never gonna.

173. Now, suppose you tell me what story you're chasing.

174. No story.

175. Just... Thirsty.

176. Come on.

177. A guy like you with a reputation to uphold?

178. You wouldn't be caught 100 yards of this place

179. unless you were sitting on a big scoop.

180. Rye whiskey.

181. Rocks.

182. Put it on his tab, Joe.

183. Name's Kent.

184. You stroll in here with this crackerjack kid.

185. You trying to land me in the cooler?

186. Cool your jets, mack.

187. Jimmy here is just a little down on love.

188. Ain't you, Jimmy?

189. Poor sucker.

190. Yep.

191. Dames is poison.

192. if that's what you're after, get in line.

193. No, no, I'm just...

194. who's your new heavy?

195. Ah, relax.

196. I got nothing on Kent so far but his tab.

197. Losing your grip, paps.

198. You used to run this town.

199. Now it looks like the only shots you're calling

200. are from behind that bar.

201. Which Luthor are you after?

202. Better wipe that newsie smile off your face.

203. Luthor can smell fresh blood a mile away.

204. Fresh?

205. Now, you listen here, Kent.

206. Relax.

207. I'm one of the good guys.

208. That's what they all say.

209. If it's young Luthor you're tailing,

210. I got a tip for you, on the house.

211. Every night he makes a big exit.

212. Makes sure the whole joint knows it.

213. But when his car pulls out of the alley...

214. he's not in it.

215. Lex.

216. I can't take it anymore.

217. You're never gonna let me in on your real life.

218. Believe me, angel...

219. My wife will be out of the picture soon enough.

220. You can't keep toying with a girl's heart like this.

221. I got to know it's real.

222. Is this real?

223. Hey!

224. Did anyone follow you?

225. No.

226. Lost him hours ago.

227. You shouldn't have come.

228. He could be home any minute.

229. I can't bear this much longer.

230. Has it all been in my head?

231. Have I been so lonely,

232. I've started making up stories to amuse myself?

233. I'm afraid not.

234. You're right about your husband wanting to get rid of you,

235. and soon.

236. If I run, he'll track me down.

237. And if I confront him,

238. he'll make it look like an accident.

239. Don't worry.

240. I'll take care of Lex.

241. Just to protect yourself.

242. Please.

243. I couldn't bear it if anything happened to you.

244. Nice driving back there.

245. And don't worry.

246. Kept my word.

247. I'm here alone.

248. I'm afraid your word's not worth much, Luthor.

249. Doesn't matter.

250. By tomorrow, you'll be picking lead out of your lungs.

251. Not unless you want this to be the next headline.

252. I'm guessing this isn't about a raise.

253. It's about right and wrong.

254. What you do with the singer, that's your business.

255. But I'm not about to let you bump off your wife

256. along the way.

257. I heard you say you were gonna get rid of her.

258. Sure, I am.

259. Once the divorce is final.

260. Filed for it today.

261. Came as a shock to your wife.

262. I doubt that.

263. Don't worry, Jimmy.

264. You're not the first sucker she's spun in a web.

265. But you better get out before you stick.

266. Gardenia.

267. Operator, get me junction 435.

268. Would I lie to you, Louie?

269. It just came over the wire. Okay.

270. Hey, what's all the flurry about?

271. There's been a murder,

272. and they say the victim is Lex Luthor.

273. Oh!

274. I am such a klutz. I'm so sorry.

275. Look, I'll cover you while you go clean up.

276. Mr. Lex Luthor dead on arrival.

277. A press pass from the daily planet

278. was found on the site

279. with a photo of Mr. Luthor and that singer.

280. Now, a suspect was seen fleeing the scene of the crime.

281. Suspect — 5'10".

282. Brown hair, brown overcoat, medium build.

283. Jimmy.

284. Last call.

285. Give me another.

286. No, make it a double.

287. Only one thing will drive a man to drink alone.

288. I wish it were as simple as a dame.

289. Nothing simple about 'em, kid.

290. Guess that's what keeps us coming back for more, huh?

291. Jimmy, I've been to every gin joint in town looking for you.

292. You're not the only one.

293. I figured it would be the last place you were,

294. but the first place I'd find you.

295. They think you shot Lex Luthor.

296. I shot him, all right.

297. Went down cold right in front of me.

298. Listen, I'm not gonna let you go down for this, Jimmy.

299. Someone set you up, and I just might know who did it.

300. That telephone line you have for Mrs. Luthor?

301. Turns out, you weren't the only one who's been dialing it.

302. Seems that shiny new reporter Clark Kent's

303. been spinning those numbers ever since he came into town.

304. What are you trying to tell me?

305. Looks like the boss' old lady

306. might be getting a little more from Kent

307. than just the headlines.

308. Yeah, it's me.

309. Listen, boy wonder may have taken the bait,

310. but he's on to you.

311. Doesn't matter anymore.

312. You're back on top of the lowlife food chain,

313. and I'm out from under a suffocating marriage.

314. There's something I have to take care of.

315. I thought that's what I was here for.

316. Don't worry.

317. We won't have to sneak around much longer.

318. Guess you took me for a patsy, didn't you, Kent?

319. You played me right from the very start.

320. You saw your chance to bump off the old man,

321. let me take the fall for it, and you get away with the girl.

322. But why'd you have to...

323. He didn't. I did.

324. Well, aren't you full of surprises?

325. I'm sorry I had to drag you in to all this, James.

326. I really am.

327. They are gonna put me away.

328. They won't get the chance.

329. Why'd you make me do it?

330. It was all for you.

331. Gardenia.

332. I should've known better.

333. Rule number one —

334. never get mixed up with a girl.

335. Not when you're on the job.

336. On the job?

337. You're a cop?

338. Undercover unit.

339. I was sent here to watch Lex Luthor.

340. Falling in love with his wife — that was...

341. That was my mistake.

342. Those were some eyes that she had.

343. Would have made any guy want to be a hero.

344. Yeah, well, those eyes just got you the electric chair.

345. Someone should have told you, kid.

346. There are no heroes in Metropolis.

347. Jimmy?

348. Oh.

349. Oh, my God. Are you all right?

350. Don't bother.

351. The picture of Lana's trigger-happy friend is gone.

352. Gardenia.

353. Okay.

354. It was right in front of me the whole time. I didn't see it.

355. Uh, Jimmy, remember me?

356. The one outside your head?

357. Lana didn't know you were working last night.

358. What if she wasn't here to see you?

359. What if she's not as innocent as she looks?

360. Why would she come to the cellar of wannabes

361. in the middle of the night if it wasn't to visit us?

362. Look, I know that Lana's your friend

363. and you don't want to think of her

364. as a double-crossing, two-timing backstabber, but...

365. Maybe she had something she couldn't trust you with.

366. Aha.

367. The cigarette case is missing.

368. Think about it.

369. Lana doesn't smoke. What would she be doing with it?

370. What was inside?

371. A cigarette case?

372. Maybe something big enough to get killed over.

373. And she was taking it to someone on the other floor

374. when she was shot.

375. So what?

376. She just staggered into the elevator and ended up here?

377. You know, the elevator has a memory,

378. so its computer could tell us what floor it was on last.

379. I was thinking more gossip column than political intrigue.

380. My God.

381. Lana, what have you gotten yourself into?

382. When did you learn to do that?

383. Some girls go for sports cars.

384. I figured you're more of a lock-picking girl.

385. Uh-huh.

386. Well, according to the building's exit records,

387. Brennan was the only reporter left on this floor

388. when Lana was shot.

389. Bowling trophies don't exactly scream "cold-blooded killer."

390. What the hell are you doing in here?

391. We have reason to believe

392. that Lana Luthor was with you earlier tonight.

393. Never met her.

394. Maybe you shot her and snagged her purse

395. to make it look like a petty robbery.

396. I'm calling security.

397. Great.

398. Then you can tell them how you knocked out Jimmy

399. and erased your photo.

400. The entire building was sealed off by police.

401. Only someone with prior access could have done it.

402. Hey, look —

403. Mrs. Luthor said she had a story and wanted to meet.

404. She must have been getting off the elevator

405. when someone intercepted her.

406. I-I heard the gunshot, I saw the elevator going down.

407. So I took the stairs.

408. But when I got there,

409. I heard you coming, and I guess I just panicked.

410. I-I'm sorry about your head.

411. But — but if the police had gotten your photo,

412. they never would have believed me.

413. What was she bringing to you?

414. All I know is she said she needed help, and it had —

415. Call 911!

416. You didn't have to wait till the last second, you know.

417. What fun would that be?

418. Chloe!

419. Chloe!

420. Oh, my God, Chloe!

421. Did you get him?

422. I knocked him out cold.

423. You don't have a scratch on you. I don't understand it.

424. How is that —

425. Busy day, Ms. Lane?

426. Does breaking and entering

427. not mean anything to rich people?

428. About as much as removing evidence from a crime scene.

429. I caught your little maneuver at the planet.

430. So, it didn't surprise me

431. that a piece of evidence was, uh... Missing.

432. The silver cigarette case.

433. Really, Mr. Luthor,

434. I was lucky to get a quote from a parking attendant.

435. George?

436. Thank you.

437. Lillian loved this.

438. My wife.

439. She was fond of gardenias.

440. But I think what you're looking for is inside.

441. You open this?

442. There was nothing on it.

443. Ares is supposed to be operational.

444. We're in the final stages of testing, senator.

445. Well, after all my shuffling

446. to keep the appropriations under the radar,

447. I certainly hope so, Lex.

448. We both have a lot to lose, senator.

449. You didn't know Lex was working with senator Burke, did you?

450. Wow.

451. You have got to give Lana major props

452. for double-crossing both Luthors.

453. Be careful... Miss Lane.

454. Whoever's protecting senator Burke

455. hired someone to kill the wife of a Luthor.

456. I doubt whether they'd think twice about silencing you.

457. Close call.

458. Luckily, I don't remember much.

459. Let me fill you in on a few of the details.

460. Someone really didn't want you and Brennan

461. to expose whatever was in that cigarette case,

462. so they tried to kill you and succeeded with him.

463. Now, I know that Lex would never do anything

464. to hurt the love of his life,

465. but who did?

466. Chloe, if I could tell you, I would.

467. It's complicated.

468. I'm a quick learner.

469. Lionel.

470. He's been forcing me to dig into Lex

471. and turn over everything to him.

472. Lionel has you spying on Lex?

473. But instead of giving him the information you found,

474. you were gonna give it to the papers?

475. Why?

476. It was my only way to get out from under them.

477. I don't understand.

478. I mean, Lionel has a league of minions.

479. Why you?

480. He needed someone on the inside.

481. Someone who could get close to Lex.

482. Holy...

483. Lana, is that why you went through with the wedding?

484. Why would you do that?

485. To protect Clark.

486. From what?

487. Clark can take care of himself.

488. What about his weakness?

489. Chloe, you admitted yourself that he has one.

490. Whatever Clark is capable of,

491. there's something stronger than him, isn't there?

492. Lana, if you are keeping this from Clark

493. because you're trying to protect him,

494. he needs to know.

495. He can't.

496. Chloe, I know that you confide everything in him,

497. but I need you to trust me.

498. Clark's life could depend on it.

499. I've been all over town,

500. and all I can find out about the guy who attacked Lana

501. is that he's a hired gun.

502. Yeah, and now he's out of commission,

503. so it looks like we hit a dead end.

504. That's it?

505. Someone out there takes a hit out on Lana,

506. and you're just gonna give up, just like that?

507. You're holding back something from me, aren't you?

508. Chloe, I can't believe you'd lie to me.

509. I can't believe you didn't hear the deafening irony

510. in that statement.

511. You know how much Lana means to me.

512. First, ouch.

513. Second, if you really want to help,

514. just stay out of it, please.

515. I'm gonna find Lana's attacker...

516. With or without you.

517. Clark, how long have you kept your secret from Lana

518. because you were trying to protect her?

519. Are you trying to tell me that Lana's doing this to protect me?

520. All I'm saying is that sometimes

521. people do things that you don't expect

522. and you don't understand.

523. And sometimes they have a really good reason for it.

524. As much as I want to believe that that reason is Lex...

525. We both know he'd never do anything to hurt her.

526. Well, if it's not Lex, then...

527. There's only one other person

528. who would manipulate her like that.

529. Take it from the look on your face

530. the cops can't get Lana's attacker to talk.

531. Didn't have much of a chance.

532. Guy got knocked off right after he landed in county lockup.

533. Mr. Luthor,

534. the gun at the crime scene didn't belong to the assailant.

535. It's yours.

536. Mine?

537. Police never mentioned...

538. It's unregistered,

539. but I pulled a ballistics report.

540. It matches your gun, the one that's been missing.

541. My guess is Lana's been carrying it,

542. pulled it on whoever confronted her, and lost.

543. Lana's never carried a gun.

544. Who could she be so afraid of?

545. There's my hero.

546. Just my luck.

547. Finally get a photo on page one —

548. I'm in front of the camera, not behind it.

549. Oh, come on.

550. Even I was impressed with the Sam spade quick-thinking.

551. You can't tell me

552. all that just came from a bonk on the noggin.

553. You know, it was so weird. Half of it made sense.

554. But Lana and Lionel working together,

555. and Clark Kent leading a double life

556. as a reporter by day and crime-fighter by night...

557. You know, it's funny what your mind will cook up.

558. So, why the pilgrimage to podunk at the peak of your fame?

559. Well, I made you a playlist

560. to keep you company while I'm gone.

561. Gone?

562. I'm being sent on assignment.

563. That's great.

564. Yep.

565. Photo editor saw the paper — finally knows my name now.

566. Are you on the human trafficking story in Istanbul

567. with Fletcher?

568. Actually, the polar bear swim club

569. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

570. Bunch of old guys in a lake, but —

571. it's a start.

572. I got to go catch my plane,

573. but there's something I got to do before I go.
