1. Wait, why are warrior angel
and black diamond fighting?
Copy !req
2. I mean, they're friends.
It doesn't make any sense.
Copy !req
3. Didn't you read issue 126?
Copy !req
4. No, I didn't have
any money that week.
Copy !req
5. Why? What happened?
Copy !req
6. Okay, so, you know
how black diamond's father
Copy !req
7. is this supervillain, right?
Copy !req
8. Well, in 126,
he busts out of jail,
Copy !req
9. and warrior angel has
to take him down.
Copy !req
10. But there's this accident,
and the guy dies.
Copy !req
11. And —
Copy !req
12. look who it is, boys...
Copy !req
13. Weirdo angel and his trusty
sidekick, grease spot.
Copy !req
14. Give it back, Ollie.
Copy !req
15. That's Mr. queen to you,
little man.
Copy !req
16. It's okay, Lex.
I'll just get another one.
Copy !req
17. Yeah, Duncan will
just get another one.
Copy !req
18. Oh, oh, wait, he can't.
Copy !req
19. Oh, yeah, that's right.
Copy !req
20. His mommy doesn't have
any money.
Copy !req
21. That's why
he's on scholarship.
Copy !req
22. Shut up, Geoffrey.
Shut up, Alden.
Copy !req
23. Give it back...
Copy !req
24. Mr. queen.
Copy !req
25. Sure.
Copy !req
26. You know what?
Copy !req
27. Let's make this a two-parter.
Copy !req
28. Don't!
Copy !req
29. Nice haircut, cue ball.
Copy !req
30. Yeah.
Copy !req
31. Come on. These girls
aren't even worth it.
Copy !req
32. See you next fall.
Copy !req
33. One day, I'm gonna get
those guys.
Copy !req
34. We had a stuffed crow
at Smallville high.
Copy !req
35. Two different worlds,
huh?
Copy !req
36. In this case,
I think I prefer yours.
Copy !req
37. If that's how you feel,
why come to this thing?
Copy !req
38. Well, Lana, some of the deepest
pockets in the country
Copy !req
39. went to excelsior.
Copy !req
40. These alumni socials
are good for business.
Copy !req
41. Well, then,
let's be social
Copy !req
42. so we can get the hell
out of here.
Copy !req
43. Lana.
Copy !req
44. Your billionaire drag you
to this thing, too?
Copy !req
45. Oliver's here?
I don't get it.
Copy !req
46. You put a bunch of pubescent
boys in silly jackets
Copy !req
47. and cram them full
of pomp and circumstance.
Copy !req
48. You're just asking for a round
of "lord of the flies."
Copy !req
49. I don't know.
We all turned out all right.
Copy !req
50. Didn't we?
Copy !req
51. I can only speak for myself.
Copy !req
52. Geoffrey, Alden...
How's business?
Copy !req
53. Not as good as you,
but, hey.
Copy !req
54. And you guys
were all friends?
Copy !req
55. Something like that.
Copy !req
56. Man, after 10 years,
gang's all here.
Copy !req
57. Except for Duncan.
Copy !req
58. Who's Duncan?
Copy !req
59. Know what? Maybe you ought
to lay off, huh?
Copy !req
60. What? Like you weren't
all thinking about —
Copy !req
61. Alden.
Copy !req
62. Yeah, whatever.
Copy !req
63. Good to see you, Lex.
Copy !req
64. You did all right
for yourself.
Copy !req
65. Duncan, if you were here,
you'd still be a loser.
Copy !req
66. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
67. You all right?
Copy !req
68. Just missed me.
Copy !req
69. Must be my lucky day.
Copy !req
70. Ugh!
Copy !req
71. I heard what happened.
Copy !req
72. Are you all right, son?
Copy !req
73. Nothing a little
dry cleaning won't cure.
Copy !req
74. That's distasteful, Lex,
even for you.
Copy !req
75. What can I say?
Copy !req
76. It's a nice suit.
Copy !req
77. You weren't Alden's close
friend, Lex, but still —
Copy !req
78. I should muster up
some tears anyway?
Copy !req
79. Thanks, but I'll save them
for someone who deserves it.
Copy !req
80. I know, I know.
Copy !req
81. Your life at excelsior
wasn't easy.
Copy !req
82. And I know that memories
can haunt us.
Copy !req
83. But the best way
to deal with them
Copy !req
84. is to leave them behind us,
Copy !req
85. bury them
where they belong —
Copy !req
86. in the past.
Copy !req
87. Along with everything else,
right, dad?
Copy !req
88. I'm glad
you're all right.
Copy !req
89. If you need anything —
Copy !req
90. I won't.
Copy !req
91. Perhaps miss lang will have
better luck comforting you.
Copy !req
92. Would you give her
my regards, please?
Copy !req
93. What are you gonna do
when you get out of here?
Copy !req
94. Don't know —
college, I guess.
Copy !req
95. Then what?
Copy !req
96. My dad wants me to learn
how to run his business.
Copy !req
97. Are you gonna do it?
Copy !req
98. Hell, no.
Copy !req
99. I can't stand
that old bastard.
Copy !req
100. What about you?
What are you gonna do?
Copy !req
101. I'm gonna help people,
like warrior angel.
Copy !req
102. You better hit the gym.
Copy !req
103. Spandex is tough
to pull off.
Copy !req
104. No, no, I don't mean
like the cape and stuff.
Copy !req
105. I'm talking like a doctor
or a lawyer or something.
Copy !req
106. Lawyer?
Copy !req
107. Yeah...
Copy !req
108. Working pro Bono
for the poor.
Copy !req
109. Don't let my dad
hear you say that.
Copy !req
110. Why? What's your dad got
against poor people?
Copy !req
111. Everything.
Copy !req
112. He thinks "poverty" is
just another word for "lazy."
Copy !req
113. What do you think?
Copy !req
114. I think it would
drive my dad nuts
Copy !req
115. if I got a job
working with the poor.
Copy !req
116. Got room for a partner?
Copy !req
117. Allenmeyer and Luthor?
Copy !req
118. Luthor and allenmeyer.
Copy !req
119. Now all we got to do
is graduate in one piece.
Copy !req
120. Shh!
Copy !req
121. We got it. Let's go.
Copy !req
122. Hurry, let's go.
Copy !req
123. You're so cool.
I can't believe you did that.
Copy !req
124. Nice.
Copy !req
125. Let's go, man.
Let's go! Hurry.
Copy !req
126. No one saw us.
Copy !req
127. What are they doing?
Copy !req
128. Stealing answers
to the midterms.
Copy !req
129. You know,
you really didn't have to go
Copy !req
130. to all this trouble,
Mrs. Kent.
Copy !req
131. You can't live on coffee
three meals a day, Chloe.
Copy !req
132. I mix it up with the occasional
blueberry muffin.
Copy !req
133. What? That has
a food group in it.
Copy !req
134. Barely.
Copy !req
135. Did you find
anything new?
Copy !req
136. Tons.
Copy !req
137. There have been reports
of unusual occurrences
Copy !req
138. happening
all over the world.
Copy !req
139. It's like the wall of weird
gone global.
Copy !req
140. The worst attack was
on a small village
Copy !req
141. in the kashmir region
of India.
Copy !req
142. The entire village
was nearly destroyed.
Copy !req
143. Villagers said they saw
something fall from the sky
Copy !req
144. the night before.
Copy !req
145. That's the same time
I escaped from the phantom zone.
Copy !req
146. Do you think whatever it was
got out when you escaped?
Copy !req
147. Like the park ranger?
Copy !req
148. How about a trip
to the ice castle?
Copy !req
149. Jor-El could help
track down the zoners
Copy !req
150. before they do
any more damage.
Copy !req
151. Zoners?
Copy !req
152. "Escaped supercriminals
from the phantom zone"
Copy !req
153. is a little bit
of a mouthful.
Copy !req
154. The fortress is dead.
Copy !req
155. There's no way to contact
Jor-El, ask for his help.
Copy !req
156. I should have
just listened to him.
Copy !req
157. And done what, Clark?
Copy !req
158. Killed Lex to stop Zod
from taking over his body?
Copy !req
159. You're not a murderer,
Clark.
Copy !req
160. What about all those people
in that village, mom?
Copy !req
161. They might have died
because of my actions.
Copy !req
162. I need to know for sure.
Copy !req
163. Then we need to find
more crater impacts.
Copy !req
164. Like the one you made when you
came out of the phantom zone?
Copy !req
165. I think our best bet
would be satellite images.
Copy !req
166. I thought all the satellites
were down on dark Thursday.
Copy !req
167. All except for a few
owned by arrow industries.
Copy !req
168. Now, if we could get
the access codes,
Copy !req
169. I might be able to find an image
of whatever it is
Copy !req
170. that came down before the attack
on that village.
Copy !req
171. Oliver queen
still owes me one.
Copy !req
172. Maybe it's time to collect.
Copy !req
173. Seeing somebody
you laughed with,
Copy !req
174. shared so many
good times together —
Copy !req
175. seeing him laid out
on the table like that...
Copy !req
176. At least they say
he didn't suffer.
Copy !req
177. Yeah. But I'm guessing
it didn't tickle, either.
Copy !req
178. Alden called me a month ago.
Copy !req
179. He said he wanted to go out
for a drink,
Copy !req
180. and I...
Copy !req
181. Told him I was busy.
Copy !req
182. I said I'd catch up
with him later.
Copy !req
183. You couldn't have known
Copy !req
184. something like this
was gonna happen.
Copy !req
185. All the more reason
to live for today.
Copy !req
186. Keep with touch
with old friends?
Copy !req
187. Why don't you all get together
while you're here?
Copy !req
188. What about that Duncan guy?
Does he live in Metropolis?
Copy !req
189. Not anymore.
Copy !req
190. I actually have to be getting
back to Gotham, anyway.
Copy !req
191. Got a great gal there,
Ollie.
Copy !req
192. Don't screw it up.
Copy !req
193. Smart guy.
You should listen to him.
Copy !req
194. I'm all ears.
Copy !req
195. Clark.
Copy !req
196. I was wondering
if my security system
Copy !req
197. would keep someone
like you out.
Copy !req
198. Looks like
you need an upgrade.
Copy !req
199. Or you need
to learn how to knock.
Copy !req
200. It's okay.
You know what?
Copy !req
201. You can keep that arrow.
I've got a new one.
Copy !req
202. I was thinking about developing
a boxing-glove arrow,
Copy !req
203. and then I thought,
Copy !req
204. "come up with something
a little fancier."
Copy !req
205. Contained
electromagnetic pulse —
Copy !req
206. knocks out everything electrical
within an 8-foot radius —
Copy !req
207. cameras, laser systems,
pacemakers.
Copy !req
208. That last one
was a joke, Clark.
Copy !req
209. I'm laughing
on the inside.
Copy !req
210. Maybe we'll get lucky
one day,
Copy !req
211. and it'll bubble
to the surface.
Copy !req
212. To what
do I owe the pleasure?
Copy !req
213. I need to talk to you
about queen industries,
Copy !req
214. their satellite grid.
Copy !req
215. What about it?
Copy !req
216. My friend Chloe,
Copy !req
217. she's doing a story on the
global effects of dark Thursday.
Copy !req
218. She needs satellite images
from that day,
Copy !req
219. but none of them
were working.
Copy !req
220. Except mine.
Copy !req
221. How'd you manage that?
Copy !req
222. It's a trade secret.
Copy !req
223. Tell you what —
Copy !req
224. I'll give your friend Chloe
Copy !req
225. the access codes
to the grid archive
Copy !req
226. if you do one small thing
for me.
Copy !req
227. What would that be?
Copy !req
228. Help me figure out
how Lex caused
Copy !req
229. the accidental death
of two of my friends.
Copy !req
230. You think Lex killed them?
Copy !req
231. I've known Lex a lot longer
than you, Clark.
Copy !req
232. I've seen who he really is.
Copy !req
233. I'm just saying
we should think about this.
Copy !req
234. What's there
to think about?
Copy !req
235. We tell the headmaster
what we saw,
Copy !req
236. and then queen and those two
jerks are out of here.
Copy !req
237. But we have something
on queen now.
Copy !req
238. No way is he ever gonna try
anything again.
Copy !req
239. We could use this,
Copy !req
240. force him to act
like our friend
Copy !req
241. so we can have some respect
in this place.
Copy !req
242. You don't pretend
Copy !req
243. to be friends
with somebody, Lex.
Copy !req
244. You either are
or you aren't.
Copy !req
245. I'm gonna turn them in.
Copy !req
246. I thought you said
you were gonna handle this.
Copy !req
247. You told them?
Copy !req
248. This is our chance,
Duncan.
Copy !req
249. We don't have to be
on the outside anymore.
Copy !req
250. I —
I never felt that way,
Copy !req
251. not when you were
my friend.
Copy !req
252. Just listen to me.
Copy !req
253. Get out of my way.
Copy !req
254. Hey. Where do you think
you're going?
Copy !req
255. Just keep your mouth shut,
and everything will be okay.
Copy !req
256. Get off of me!
Copy !req
257. Whoa!
Copy !req
258. Get him, Lex!
Copy !req
259. Yeah! Get him!
Get on him!
Copy !req
260. Why do you have to be
such a loser?
Copy !req
261. Why can't you be like
everybody else?
Copy !req
262. Are you okay?
Copy !req
263. Yeah.
Copy !req
264. Bad dream.
Copy !req
265. What was it about?
Copy !req
266. I don't remember.
Copy !req
267. Lex,
it's normal to be upset.
Copy !req
268. Alden died
right in front of you.
Copy !req
269. Yeah, well, maybe he finally
got what he deserved.
Copy !req
270. How can you say that
about your friend?
Copy !req
271. I only had one friend
at excelsior.
Copy !req
272. And it sure as hell
wasn't him.
Copy !req
273. Do you want
to talk about it?
Copy !req
274. Not really.
Copy !req
275. Lana, I'm all right.
Copy !req
276. I'm the last thing
you have to worry about.
Copy !req
277. The last thing, huh?
Copy !req
278. Well, at least
it didn't break.
Copy !req
279. Did you see that?
Copy !req
280. I'm sure it's nothing
to worry about, Lana.
Copy !req
281. See?
Copy !req
282. Lex?
Copy !req
283. Lana!
Copy !req
284. She sustained
a fairly serious concussion,
Copy !req
285. but the c.A.T. Scans
are negative.
Copy !req
286. Couple of days' rest,
she'll be fine.
Copy !req
287. I'll make sure
she gets it.
Copy !req
288. Where's Lana?
Copy !req
289. She'll be fine. That's
the only thing that matters.
Copy !req
290. I want to talk to her.
Copy !req
291. You lost your visiting rights
a while back, Clark.
Copy !req
292. I wouldn't be here
if it wasn't for you, Lex.
Copy !req
293. Since you've been with her,
Copy !req
294. she has a funny habit
of getting hurt.
Copy !req
295. And how many times
did she wind up in the hospital
Copy !req
296. when she was dating you?
Copy !req
297. Save yourself a trip
next time, Clark.
Copy !req
298. Just send flowers.
Copy !req
299. Ouch.
Copy !req
300. That was harsh.
Copy !req
301. It's not like
he's wrong, though.
Copy !req
302. I've hurt Lana
more than anyone else.
Copy !req
303. She wouldn't even be with Lex
if it wasn't for me.
Copy !req
304. Lana made that questionable
choice on her own.
Copy !req
305. Stop beating yourself up.
That's my job.
Copy !req
306. And my other one is
sniffing out a good story.
Copy !req
307. That's why you're here?
Copy !req
308. I don't think Lana's chandelier
run-in was an accident
Copy !req
309. or that she was the target.
Copy !req
310. In the past 24 hours,
Copy !req
311. two of Lex and Oliver's
old friends from boarding school
Copy !req
312. died in violent accidents.
Copy !req
313. And you think Lex
was almost the third.
Copy !req
314. I think it has
something to do
Copy !req
315. with a kid named Duncan
they all knew,
Copy !req
316. but Oliver won't
tell me anything.
Copy !req
317. Listen, I don't want you
Copy !req
318. to end up sharing a hospital
room with Lana, all right?
Copy !req
319. Get some distance between you
and Oliver just for now.
Copy !req
320. Or I could man up
and get to the bottom of this
Copy !req
321. like a real reporter —
Copy !req
322. preferably before
the grim reaper
Copy !req
323. drops something very heavy
on my hot boyfriend.
Copy !req
324. Is Lana gonna be okay?
Copy !req
325. I think so.
Copy !req
326. Looks like you're wrong
Copy !req
327. about Lex being the one
behind the attacks.
Copy !req
328. Unless he orchestrated this one
to throw off suspicion.
Copy !req
329. If Lex was
the only one hurt,
Copy !req
330. then I'd probably think
the same thing.
Copy !req
331. He loves Lana too much
to risk her life.
Copy !req
332. These attacks
aren't random.
Copy !req
333. Lois seems to think
it may have something to do
Copy !req
334. with a kid you went to school
with back at excelsior —
Copy !req
335. Duncan?
Copy !req
336. It's not Duncan.
Copy !req
337. How can you be sure?
Copy !req
338. Because Lex and I killed him
10 years ago.
Copy !req
339. Why do you have
to be such a loser?
Copy !req
340. Lex! Come on!
Lex, stop it!
Copy !req
341. Lex, come on, stop!
Copy !req
342. Dude... Psycho much?
Copy !req
343. There's something
seriously wrong with you.
Copy !req
344. Duncan.
Copy !req
345. Get away from me!
Copy !req
346. You want to be one of them
so badly, Lex?
Copy !req
347. Is that it?
Copy !req
348. You can't stand
being a loser like me?
Copy !req
349. Well, congratulations, buddy.
Now you're their friend.
Copy !req
350. And you can all go —
Copy !req
351. Duncan!
Copy !req
352. Duncan suffered
massive brain injuries.
Copy !req
353. Is there anything else
that you haven't told me?
Copy !req
354. Just the denouement —
Copy !req
355. Lionel Luthor sweeping in
Copy !req
356. with the best doctors
in the world to save Duncan.
Copy !req
357. Lionel?
Copy !req
358. I thought
it was an act of kindness.
Copy !req
359. Now that I'm older,
I realize it was just an act.
Copy !req
360. Lionel was trying
to cover up
Copy !req
361. what happened
between Lex and Duncan,
Copy !req
362. trying to cover up the stink
off the Luthor name.
Copy !req
363. How do you know
about all this?
Copy !req
364. He got the whole story
from Lex.
Copy !req
365. Duncan was on scholarship.
Copy !req
366. His parents couldn't afford
a band-aid,
Copy !req
367. let alone
a team of neurosurgeons.
Copy !req
368. So Lionel promised to take care
of the whole thing.
Copy !req
369. As long as everyone
kept quiet.
Copy !req
370. Not that it mattered.
Copy !req
371. Duncan died two days later.
Copy !req
372. It was an accident.
Copy !req
373. It just happened.
Copy !req
374. No.
Copy !req
375. No, I told myself
that same lie for years.
Copy !req
376. The truth is all of us
Copy !req
377. might as well have pushed him
out in front of that car.
Copy !req
378. Alden, Geoffrey, Lex, me —
Copy !req
379. we all killed
Duncan allenmeyer.
Copy !req
380. What about his family?
Copy !req
381. If they believe
you killed him,
Copy !req
382. one of them might be
behind this.
Copy !req
383. The only relative
I could find was his mother.
Copy !req
384. Where's she?
Copy !req
385. Grandville cemetery.
She passed away a month ago.
Copy !req
386. There must be someone else,
Copy !req
387. someone else
you may have missed.
Copy !req
388. I don't know.
Copy !req
389. The only one who had contact
with Duncan's family
Copy !req
390. was Lionel.
Copy !req
391. I'm not exactly high
on his buddy list —
Copy !req
392. not a good chance of him
talking to me.
Copy !req
393. Clark.
Copy !req
394. I, um...
Copy !req
395. I was just on my way
down the street
Copy !req
396. to pastis for lunch.
Copy !req
397. You hungry?
Copy !req
398. No, this isn't
a social visit.
Copy !req
399. Oh, that's a pity.
Copy !req
400. The owner's wife does
a soufflé au fromage
Copy !req
401. that is, well,
it is out of this world.
Copy !req
402. Duncan allenmeyer.
Copy !req
403. How do you know that name?
Copy !req
404. Oliver queen filled me in.
Copy !req
405. Ah, yes, the queen boy.
Copy !req
406. He should know better
than to dig up old skeletons.
Copy !req
407. I'm not sure he's the only one
with a shovel in his hand.
Copy !req
408. These attacks —
I think someone
Copy !req
409. who was close to Duncan
is trying to settle a score.
Copy !req
410. Lex was the only one
close to him.
Copy !req
411. No other family members
besides his mother?
Copy !req
412. Didn't have any.
Copy !req
413. There's got to be someone.
Copy !req
414. What is it
you're not telling me?
Copy !req
415. Clark.
Copy !req
416. Two people
are already dead.
Copy !req
417. Do you want to add Lex
to the body count?
Copy !req
418. Now please tell me.
Copy !req
419. It was a tragedy,
what happened to Duncan.
Copy !req
420. I did everything possible
to help him.
Copy !req
421. I have continued to do that
for the past 10 years.
Copy !req
422. Duncan's alive?
Copy !req
423. My medical team was able
to keep his heart beating.
Copy !req
424. But the injuries
from his accident
Copy !req
425. have left him
in a permanent vegetative state.
Copy !req
426. Why did you let everyone believe
he was still dead?
Copy !req
427. Clark...
Copy !req
428. I didn't want Lex to be
crippled by his mistakes.
Copy !req
429. I decided to make an arrangement
with Duncan's mother.
Copy !req
430. In exchange for her silence —
going along with the story —
Copy !req
431. I agreed to fund
a research program
Copy !req
432. dedicated to reversing
Copy !req
433. the damage
to her son's brain.
Copy !req
434. This is still going on.
Copy !req
435. The best research minds
in the world
Copy !req
436. have tried hundreds
of different treatments, but —
Copy !req
437. what if
one of them worked?
Copy !req
438. It's time
for your treatment, Duncan.
Copy !req
439. Smallville?
Copy !req
440. Lois,
what are you doing here?
Copy !req
441. I'm following a lead.
I checked out Duncan's mother.
Copy !req
442. She's dead.
Copy !req
443. I know that, Sherlock.
Copy !req
444. On a hunch, I dug up
all her old phone records.
Copy !req
445. And every day
while she was still kicking,
Copy !req
446. she placed a call
to this facility.
Copy !req
447. She was checking
on her son.
Copy !req
448. Duncan?
I thought he was dead.
Copy !req
449. Yeah,
so did everyone else.
Copy !req
450. I think he's in this room.
Copy !req
451. How do you know all this?
Copy !req
452. You're not the only one
with hunches.
Copy !req
453. Nice work.
Copy !req
454. Lois.
Copy !req
455. Unh-unh.
Copy !req
456. It's my story.
I don't share bylines.
Copy !req
457. It's locked.
You stay here.
Copy !req
458. I'm gonna flirt us up
a set of keys, all right?
Copy !req
459. Lois.
Copy !req
460. Maybe it was just stuck.
Copy !req
461. Well, ladies first.
Copy !req
462. Yes?
Copy !req
463. He's arriving now,
Mr. queen.
Copy !req
464. Thank you.
Copy !req
465. Lex, I was wondering
how long
Copy !req
466. it was gonna take you
to pop up.
Copy !req
467. I've been busy...
At the hospital.
Copy !req
468. I heard about Lana.
Is she gonna be all right?
Copy !req
469. She'll be fine...
Copy !req
470. Not that you really care.
Copy !req
471. No, I do care.
Copy !req
472. I care that a nice girl
like that
Copy !req
473. ended up with a guy
like you.
Copy !req
474. Ever since you came
to Metropolis,
Copy !req
475. I've been kidnapped,
my life put in jeopardy,
Copy !req
476. and now the woman I love
is lying in a hospital bed.
Copy !req
477. And you think
that's my fault.
Copy !req
478. Sounds to me
more like bad karma.
Copy !req
479. Go back to star city,
Oliver...
Copy !req
480. While you still can.
Copy !req
481. I've seen that look before.
Copy !req
482. When was it?
Copy !req
483. Oh, yeah —
Copy !req
484. when you almost beat
your only friend to death
Copy !req
485. back at excelsior.
Copy !req
486. That's good.
Copy !req
487. First one's free.
Next one's gonna cost you.
Copy !req
488. Poor little Lex,
Copy !req
489. always blaming everyone else
for all of his problems.
Copy !req
490. Only when
they're the cause.
Copy !req
491. You never could take
responsibility
Copy !req
492. for what happened to Duncan.
Copy !req
493. Like your hands
were clean.
Copy !req
494. No, not even close,
but since then,
Copy !req
495. I've been scrubbing them
real hard.
Copy !req
496. Yours just keep
getting dirtier.
Copy !req
497. Look out!
Copy !req
498. Lex.
Copy !req
499. Aah!
Copy !req
500. I'm not a doctor, but I've seen
enough discovery channel
Copy !req
501. to know you don't get
the squiggly lines
Copy !req
502. when you're
in a vegetative state.
Copy !req
503. Guess the new treatments
are working.
Copy !req
504. What new treatment?
Copy !req
505. Something called 12-b.
It's experimental.
Copy !req
506. It's derived
from refined meteorites.
Copy !req
507. Clark, they started giving him
this stuff two days ago.
Copy !req
508. Look at
the injection times.
Copy !req
509. They coincide
with the attacks.
Copy !req
510. Maybe we just found
our killer.
Copy !req
511. No, wait a minute —
these treatments,
Copy !req
512. they might stimulate
brain activity,
Copy !req
513. but he's still
in a wheelchair.
Copy !req
514. His body is, yeah,
but look at his charts.
Copy !req
515. His new cocktail
is whipping up
Copy !req
516. a hell
of an electrical storm.
Copy !req
517. Now, I read this article
in the inquisitor
Copy !req
518. about brain waves
and astral projection —
Copy !req
519. astral projection?
Copy !req
520. Do you have
a better explanation?
Copy !req
521. No.
Copy !req
522. When was
his last injection?
Copy !req
523. 20 minutes ago.
Copy !req
524. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
525. It's happening again.
Copy !req
526. Smallville, I —
Copy !req
527. Hey. What happened?
Copy !req
528. You went awol while things
heated up, as usual.
Copy !req
529. I went to go find a phone
to warn Oliver and Lex.
Copy !req
530. Did you get ahold of them?
Are they all right?
Copy !req
531. A little worse for wear.
Copy !req
532. Oliver said whatever happened
just suddenly stopped.
Copy !req
533. Well, Duncan went flatline,
Copy !req
534. like he blew a fuse
or something.
Copy !req
535. I wonder what caused it.
Copy !req
536. You need that
for your article.
Copy !req
537. Well, it would be good if I were
still going to write one.
Copy !req
538. But you're not?
Copy !req
539. It would make a juicy story
for the inquisitor,
Copy !req
540. but considering the outcome,
Copy !req
541. an exploitation piece
on a catatonic patient
Copy !req
542. astral-projecting his way
to revenge
Copy !req
543. might be in bad taste.
Copy !req
544. Would you still feel
the same way
Copy !req
545. if Oliver wasn't involved?
Copy !req
546. We've all done things
we're not proud of.
Copy !req
547. I just wish that Oliver
didn't feel
Copy !req
548. like he had
to hide it from me.
Copy !req
549. You know...
Copy !req
550. sometimes in order
to protect the people we love,
Copy !req
551. we keep secrets.
Copy !req
552. That is...
Copy !req
553. Totally retarded.
Copy !req
554. I wasn't the most popular kid
at excelsior —
Copy !req
555. the way I looked,
Copy !req
556. the rumors about what happened
to my brother, Julian.
Copy !req
557. But Duncan didn't care.
Copy !req
558. He was my only friend.
Copy !req
559. And I betrayed him.
Copy !req
560. Lex, you were just a boy.
Copy !req
561. What matters is the man
you've become.
Copy !req
562. You're early.
Copy !req
563. It's not often I get invited
into the lion's den.
Copy !req
564. I didn't want you
changing your mind.
Copy !req
565. I'm sure you two
have a lot to discuss.
Copy !req
566. Mr. queen.
Copy !req
567. Miss lang.
Copy !req
568. You're a lucky man.
Copy !req
569. In more ways than one.
Copy !req
570. I should be dead,
Copy !req
571. but here I stand.
Copy !req
572. You would have done
the same thing for me.
Copy !req
573. Right?
Copy !req
574. I wanted to say thank you.
Copy !req
575. And that's
all I wanted to say.
Copy !req
576. I'm sure you have business
to get back to.
Copy !req
577. Lex.
Copy !req
578. What happened to Duncan...
Copy !req
579. the way
I treated both of you...
Copy !req
580. it's not something
that I'm proud of.
Copy !req
581. I want you to know
how much I regret it.
Copy !req
582. And I regret...
Copy !req
583. Ever thinking
I needed friends like you.
Copy !req
584. Why did you lie to me?
Copy !req
585. All those years,
you let me think he was dead.
Copy !req
586. What would you have done
if you had known the truth,
Copy !req
587. make daily pilgrimages
to the poor boy's bedside?
Copy !req
588. Yes, I let you think
he was dead.
Copy !req
589. I was giving you a chance
to move on with your life...
Copy !req
590. To go forward, not back.
Copy !req
591. You didn't do this for me.
Copy !req
592. You convinced Duncan's mother
to declare him dead
Copy !req
593. so you could use him
as a Guinea pig.
Copy !req
594. And one of your treatments
Copy !req
595. tapped into a very powerful part
of the human brain.
Copy !req
596. All right, all right,
let's assume that's true.
Copy !req
597. Would that have made
a difference?
Copy !req
598. You were responsible for what
happened to Duncan allenmeyer.
Copy !req
599. Nothing is
ever gonna change that.
Copy !req
600. Well,
like you said, dad...
Copy !req
601. the only thing I can do
is look forward.
Copy !req
602. I want to see the data
on Duncan's last treatment.
Copy !req
603. Have it on my desk
first thing in the morning.
Copy !req
604. So, the thing
that attacked us,
Copy !req
605. Duncan's astral body
or whatever you want to call it,
Copy !req
606. must have been some form
of electrical manifestation.
Copy !req
607. And it got fried
by your electromagnetic arrow
Copy !req
608. along with what was left
of Duncan's brain.
Copy !req
609. Yeah,
I guess you're right.
Copy !req
610. You know,
making the wrong choices
Copy !req
611. and living
with the consequences —
Copy !req
612. it's not easy, is it?
Copy !req
613. Speaking
from experience, huh?
Copy !req
614. More than I'd like.
Copy !req
615. You know, we all make
bad choices, Clark.
Copy !req
616. All we can do is hope
to make the right ones
Copy !req
617. in the future, right?
Copy !req
618. Clark.
Copy !req
619. I'm sorry. I didn't realize
you had company.
Copy !req
620. Chloe, Oliver queen.
Copy !req
621. Oh, hi.
Copy !req
622. I feel
like I know you already.
Copy !req
623. Lois talks about you
all the time.
Copy !req
624. I was actually just gonna
go see Lois right now.
Copy !req
625. Maybe it's time
I did some talking.
Copy !req
626. Well, look,
I'm looking forward
Copy !req
627. to your article
on dark Thursday.
Copy !req
628. I hope
my satellite images helped.
Copy !req
629. Yeah.
Copy !req
630. Good.
It's good to meet you.
Copy !req
631. Clark.
Copy !req
632. Wow.
Copy !req
633. In person,
he is really...
Copy !req
634. Wow.
Copy !req
635. Chloe, were you able to pull
anything off the satellites?
Copy !req
636. Oh, yeah, well, I'm still
sifting through the images,
Copy !req
637. but I already found
a handful of craters
Copy !req
638. that match the one you made
Copy !req
639. when you busted
out of the phantom zone.
Copy !req
640. Which means
more zoners on earth.
Copy !req
641. Did you find
the one in India?
Copy !req
642. That was
just a smoking hole,
Copy !req
643. but I did find another one
in Australia
Copy !req
644. that I thought you might want
to take a look at.
Copy !req
645. Is there someone
in the crater?
Copy !req
646. I blew it up
as much as I could.
Copy !req
647. It's not very clear,
but...
Copy !req
648. What is it?
Copy !req
649. Raya.
