1. Previously on "Smallville"...Copy !req
2. Jor-El: I sent you to earth
for a purpose, Kal-El.Copy !req
3. You've learned a lot
from your time in Smallville.Copy !req
4. Your father would be proud.Copy !req
5. It would be tragic
if the ddsCopy !req
6. decided Chloe was a threat
to national security after all.Copy !req
7. Will you marry me?Copy !req
8. Don't move!Copy !req
9. Chloe Sullivan,
you're under arrest.Copy !req
10. Jimmy, get Clark!Copy !req
11. I need you.Copy !req
12. But the world
needs you more.Copy !req
13. Please don't come after me.Copy !req
14. Just because I'm leaving
doesn't mean you have to stay.Copy !req
15. I got your application
right here.Copy !req
16. That's never gonna happen.Copy !req
17. This isn't
the end of the story, Clark.Copy !req
18. This is just the beginning.Copy !req
19. I can heal people.Copy !req
20. What the hell are you?Copy !req
21. Kal-El, you must save yourself,Copy !req
22. or your destiny will fall
into the hands of another man.Copy !req
23. Sir, the last few teams
have all disappeared.Copy !req
24. We leave now.Copy !req
25. You hold the future of
the entire planet in your hands.Copy !req
26. I'm here to take it back.Copy !req
27. Lex, don't!Copy !req
28. Clark, I'm sorry,
but it has to end this way.Copy !req
29. And now the season premiere
of "Smallville."Copy !req
30. Regan Matthews.Copy !req
31. What have you been doing
all this time,Copy !req
32. building snowmen?Copy !req
33. Who do you think you are?
This site is off limits.Copy !req
34. Tess Mercer.
My access is unrestricted.Copy !req
35. Per Lex's
written instructions,Copy !req
36. I'm now the acting c.E.O.
Of LuthorcorpCopy !req
37. and all its subsidiaries.Copy !req
38. You're nothing
but an obscure regional v.P.Copy !req
39. You actually believe
you're qualified?Copy !req
40. Lex believes it...Copy !req
41. And that's all that matters.Copy !req
42. I want a complete inventory
of everything you've found —Copy !req
43. footprints, snowmobile tracks,
any sign of an escape.Copy !req
44. Escape?Copy !req
45. Trust me, Lex Luthor
did not meet his endCopy !req
46. on some dwindling ice cap.Copy !req
47. Sonar's picking
something up.Copy !req
48. 6.4 meters deep.Copy !req
49. What is it?Copy !req
50. Not sure,
but based on the imaging,Copy !req
51. it could very well
be human remains.Copy !req
52. Ugh!Copy !req
53. There's a reason
the cowboys won the west.Copy !req
54. Playing with bows and arrows
can only get you so far.Copy !req
55. Nice toss...
For a fish out of water.Copy !req
56. Thanks.Copy !req
57. You two gonna keep
stroking each other,Copy !req
58. or are we gonna
go find Clark?Copy !req
59. Well, it looks like they found
something in that trench.Copy !req
60. Check it out.Copy !req
61. Clark, where are you?Copy !req
62. You missed a spot.Copy !req
63. Oui, oui, madame.Copy !req
64. And the floors —
they've lost their sheen.Copy !req
65. You're not getting lazy,
are you?Copy !req
66. I didn't realize
Lex's secretarial staffCopy !req
67. could spot a speck of dust
from across the room.Copy !req
68. I'm as much a secretary
as you are a French maid.Copy !req
69. I have been
so looking forwardCopy !req
70. to meeting
the intrepid reporter Lois Lane.Copy !req
71. So, you like
to play dress-up?Copy !req
72. If you're not a secretary,
who are you?Copy !req
73. Lex's 4:00 P.M.
Booty call?Copy !req
74. I realize Mr. LuthorCopy !req
75. gave you quite a bit
of journalistic rope,Copy !req
76. knowing you'd eventually
hang yourself.Copy !req
77. Me, on the other hand —Copy !req
78. I'm a little less patient.Copy !req
79. I'm not here as a reporter.Copy !req
80. I'm here to find my cousin,
Chloe Sullivan.Copy !req
81. I doubt she's hiding
under the furniture.Copy !req
82. Lex had her arrestedCopy !req
83. by the department
of domestic security,Copy !req
84. but the dds claims to have
no record of her.Copy !req
85. I want access
to Lex's phone recordsCopy !req
86. from the day
he made the call.Copy !req
87. I want that agent's name.Copy !req
88. Mr. Luthor
is a firm believerCopy !req
89. in truth and justice,
miss Lane.Copy !req
90. You can rest assured,
if he had your cousin arrested,Copy !req
91. she was guilty.Copy !req
92. The only thing
Chloe's been guilty ofCopy !req
93. is standing up
for what she believes in.Copy !req
94. Ms. Mercer?Copy !req
95. Please escort
miss Lane out.Copy !req
96. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
97. Hands off.Copy !req
98. By the way, next time,Copy !req
99. you might want to try
microfiber.Copy !req
100. Works wonders.Copy !req
101. I'll keep that in mind.Copy !req
102. Pattern.Copy !req
103. Take your time with this one.
It's especially difficult.Copy !req
104. Barn, tiger, car, hammer, tree,
building, cup, phone, toaster,Copy !req
105. house, doll, football, book,
umbrella, bench, paper clip.Copy !req
106. And the logarithm?Copy !req
107. The seventh image moves forward
by the power of fourCopy !req
108. every six cycles.Copy !req
109. My God.Copy !req
110. Okay, so,
I'm smarter than the average,Copy !req
111. but that doesn't mean
the government has the rightCopy !req
112. to treat me like
their own private Guinea pig.Copy !req
113. You're special, Chloe.Copy !req
114. No, I'm not!Copy !req
115. All I am
is a halfway decent hackerCopy !req
116. who took a wrong turn down
the information superhighway.Copy !req
117. A hacker
whose cognitive thinkingCopy !req
118. just beat
our fastest supercomputer.Copy !req
119. It's hard to believeCopy !req
120. that such a dramatic increase
in intelligenceCopy !req
121. could occur
practically overnight.Copy !req
122. Ray, I've told you
a thousand times.Copy !req
123. It just happened.Copy !req
124. I passed out, and when I
woke up, I was different.Copy !req
125. Okay.Copy !req
126. Let's do another.Copy !req
127. You know what?
I have a better idea.Copy !req
128. How about
no more games or puzzlesCopy !req
129. until I have something
called a court dateCopy !req
130. and a little friend
called a lawyer?Copy !req
131. Chloe,
we've gone over this.Copy !req
132. Have you looked
at a map recently?Copy !req
133. This is America!
I know my rights!Copy !req
134. The day you hacked
into the NASA mainframeCopy !req
135. and downloaded
classified information —Copy !req
136. that was the day that you
gave up those rights.Copy !req
137. You committed
an act of treason.Copy !req
138. I'm not a spy!Copy !req
139. I don't deserve to be held
in some low-rent gitmo wannabe.Copy !req
140. You can stay here,
and you can use your abilityCopy !req
141. to give back to your country
and walk in 12 months,Copy !req
142. or you can go to court,
get convicted,Copy !req
143. and rot in a federal prison
for 20 years.Copy !req
144. That's your choice.Copy !req
145. I ran his photo through
every surveillance cameraCopy !req
146. north of 60 degrees latitude.Copy !req
147. Face recognition hasn't come up
with a single hit.Copy !req
148. Every dock and coastlineCopy !req
149. east of the siberian sea
to the baffin bay —Copy !req
150. they're Clark Kent-free zones.Copy !req
151. It's like he just disappeared.Copy !req
152. Well, that leaves us
with Chloe's hard drive,Copy !req
153. which is full of a lot
of fun facts,Copy !req
154. but not one lead on Clark.Copy !req
155. Oliver...Copy !req
156. We've searched
practically everywhere.Copy !req
157. I think it's time
to accept the factCopy !req
158. that maybe something
happened to him.Copy !req
159. No.Copy !req
160. No. You don't understand.
Clark's not like us.Copy !req
161. It's gonna take
a hell of a lot moreCopy !req
162. than a little snow and ice
to bring him down.Copy !req
163. Victor and Bart
have been coveringCopy !req
164. the entire
Southern hemisphere.Copy !req
165. They haven't found anything.Copy !req
166. What makes you think
we will?Copy !req
167. Clark would never
give up on us.Copy !req
168. We're not giving up on him.Copy !req
169. You!Copy !req
170. Let me make a phone call.Copy !req
171. I told you.
When you pay me back.Copy !req
172. I'll get you your money.Copy !req
173. I can get you whatever you want
if you let me make the call.Copy !req
174. I need to let people know
that I'm okay.Copy !req
175. Why don't you
send them messageCopy !req
176. by carrier pigeon?Copy !req
177. You try that againCopy !req
178. I'll be not so nice.Copy !req
179. What's the news from your elves
at the north pole?Copy !req
180. Satellites picked up an encoded
communication signalCopy !req
181. from the group
that attacked us.Copy !req
182. Well, they're not
the only onesCopy !req
183. that are good
at concealing information.Copy !req
184. Don't you remember
your little journey up northCopy !req
185. in the Luthorcorp jet
right before Lex disappeared?Copy !req
186. I honored Mr. Luthor's request
for absolute discretion.Copy !req
187. Have you been searching
for Lex,Copy !req
188. or are you just covering
your own tracks?Copy !req
189. I did my homework on you —Copy !req
190. girl who taught herself to read
in a Louisiana swamp house,Copy !req
191. got into Harvard at 15,Copy !req
192. goes deep-sea diving
in her spare time.Copy !req
193. But I don't give a damn
about any of it.Copy !req
194. Nobody questions my loyalty.Copy !req
195. If I ever discoveredCopy !req
196. that someone
withheld informationCopy !req
197. that could help me
find Lex,Copy !req
198. I'd be forced to respond
accordingly.Copy !req
199. Are you threatening me?Copy !req
200. Just giving you
an opportunityCopy !req
201. to keep your job.Copy !req
202. I suggest you find Lex,Copy !req
203. or you will be
summarily terminated.Copy !req
204. Look, I'm all for
helping my country,Copy !req
205. but what kind of secret
government missionCopy !req
206. could an out-of-work
newspaper hack pull off?Copy !req
207. You're gonna help us
catch a few bad guys, Chloe.Copy !req
208. By playing sudoku?Copy !req
209. No, these are scrambled
transmissionsCopy !req
210. that a group of terrorists
used to communicate.Copy !req
211. And not one of our computersCopy !req
212. has been able to figure out
the algorithm.Copy !req
213. And you are our best shot.Copy !req
214. Let's do this.Copy !req
215. Good. We're looking for
three cellphone numbers
hidden within the code.Copy !req
216. 429-555-0169.Copy !req
217. Female voice:
Target position acquired.Copy !req
218. 5-0132.Copy !req
219. Target position acquired.Copy !req
220. 55-0...Copy !req
221. There's three more.Copy !req
222. These aren't the phone numbers
of bad guys.Copy !req
223. You're not the dds.Copy !req
224. What's the last
telephone number, Chloe?Copy !req
225. Ugh! No!Copy !req
226. Grab her!Copy !req
227. Find the third
at all costs.Copy !req
228. How are you feeling?Copy !req
229. Never better.Copy !req
230. Ready to get back to work?Copy !req
231. You are really determined,
aren't you?Copy !req
232. I just want to go home.Copy !req
233. Okay.Copy !req
234. Just tell us
where to ship your body.Copy !req
235. Roy Connor.Copy !req
236. What are you looking at?Copy !req
237. You got a problem with me?Copy !req
238. Is my presence here
bothering you?Copy !req
239. Yeah, it's starting to.Copy !req
240. It's starting to?Copy !req
241. What do you think
you're doing?Copy !req
242. Just roll with it.Copy !req
243. Get up!Copy !req
244. What's the matter, huh?
Your batteries run out?Copy !req
245. I got a little more
juice left.Copy !req
246. I'll take 100 cases of beluga,
50 cases of osetra,Copy !req
247. and this pathetic
little punk here.Copy !req
248. I want the honor
of finishing him off.Copy !req
249. Be my guest.Copy !req
250. I'll throw him in
for free.Copy !req
251. Very nice.
Come on!Copy !req
252. What took you so long?Copy !req
253. How does an ice fortress
disappear into thin air?Copy !req
254. I feel like there's a punch line
to that question.Copy !req
255. It's good for you.Copy !req
256. It all must be part
of my father's plan.Copy !req
257. And as it turns out,
his idea of controlling meCopy !req
258. was taking away my powers.Copy !req
259. It's better
than Lex walking aroundCopy !req
260. with a remote control
to a Clark-bot.Copy !req
261. Lex was there.Copy !req
262. He knows everything.
He knows my secret.Copy !req
263. Well, Clark,
Lex may be tenacious,Copy !req
264. but there's no way
he survived that.Copy !req
265. I did...Copy !req
266. Without my abilities.Copy !req
267. After the avalanche,
did you see anything?Copy !req
268. There was so much
wind and snow,Copy !req
269. I could barely see two feet
in front of me.Copy !req
270. I started hiking.Copy !req
271. I went as long as I could,
and then...Copy !req
272. The next thing I know,
I woke up on a fishing boatCopy !req
273. in the middle
of the arctic ocean.Copy !req
274. Clark,
you could have died up there.Copy !req
275. Oliver,
I really screwed up.Copy !req
276. I took my eyes off Lex
until it was too late.Copy !req
277. I lost my friends,
my powers.Copy !req
278. Chloe's in dds custody
because of me.Copy !req
279. I've had
an army of lawyers on it,Copy !req
280. and, uh...Copy !req
281. Chloe Sullivan
was never arrestedCopy !req
282. by the department
of domestic security.Copy !req
283. It was Lex.Copy !req
284. Jimmy betrayed him,
so he went after Chloe.Copy !req
285. Well,
if Lex wanted to hide her,Copy !req
286. he's got a research compound
in Montana.Copy !req
287. It's called black creek.Copy !req
288. It's the only facility
we haven't hit yet.Copy !req
289. Unfortunately,Copy !req
290. no one who's ever gone in
has ever come out.Copy !req
291. We need to get her back.Copy !req
292. The problem with that
is both dinah and a.C.Copy !req
293. Went off the radar,
looking for you.Copy !req
294. And you're kind of...Copy !req
295. Useless.Copy !req
296. With or without my powers,Copy !req
297. I'm not gonna let my friend
rot in a Luthorcorp prison.Copy !req
298. Neither am I.Copy !req
299. Change course.Copy !req
300. We're going to Montana.Copy !req
301. It's a shame that Lex
couldn't be here to see this.Copy !req
302. The elusive band of terrorists
finally in captivity.Copy !req
303. Lex was never able
to find us.Copy !req
304. How did his bozo zookeeper
get so lucky?Copy !req
305. Luck has nothing to do with it,
miss Lance.Copy !req
306. I have a new secret weapon.Copy !req
307. You weren't up there
scouring the arctic for Lex.Copy !req
308. You were searching
for someone else.Copy !req
309. The traveler.Copy !req
310. Who's that,
some frequent flyer?Copy !req
311. He's an alien.
He knows what happened to Lex.Copy !req
312. Who is he?Copy !req
313. Look, the only reasonCopy !req
314. we headed up to that winter
wonderland was to find Lex.Copy !req
315. You're lying
through your gills, Mr. curry.Copy !req
316. If you won't tell me
what I want to know,Copy !req
317. I'm guessing
your hooded ringleader will.Copy !req
318. The way I jammed
the security system,Copy !req
319. we've got 15 minutes Max.Copy !req
320. Stay behind me.Copy !req
321. No. We'll cover more ground
if we split up.Copy !req
322. And what are you gonna do
if you get caught, bite someone?Copy !req
323. I'm not gonna argue
with you.Copy !req
324. Chloe's in danger.Copy !req
325. Fine, Clark.
You be the hero.Copy !req
326. Just know I might not be there
to save you.Copy !req
327. I can't believe this.Copy !req
328. One alarm-clock malfunction,
and suddenly you're demotedCopy !req
329. and shipped
to deliverance territory.Copy !req
330. What the hell
are you doing here?Copy !req
331. I...Copy !req
332. You know him?Copy !req
333. Y—
no.Copy !req
334. He wishes he didn't know me.Copy !req
335. I thought I dropped you
at your cell.Copy !req
336. We'll take him back.Copy !req
337. And send me to the Sahara?Copy !req
338. One demotion this week
is enough.Copy !req
339. I'll handle it.Copy !req
340. What are you doing here?Copy !req
341. I heard
they had good espresso.Copy !req
342. You disappear for a month and
come back with a sense of humor?Copy !req
343. I've been
tracking Chloe down.Copy !req
344. The question is
how did you get here?Copy !req
345. Feminine charm.Copy !req
346. Yes, I do have some.Copy !req
347. Great job protecting
your short supply of it.Copy !req
348. Why don't you give
your stand-up a restCopy !req
349. and do exactly
what I tell you?Copy !req
350. That way, we can find Chloe
and stay alive at the same time.Copy !req
351. Sweet dreams?Copy !req
352. More like
my worst nightmare.Copy !req
353. I've been hunting down
innocent people for Luthorcorp.Copy !req
354. That's who you work for,
isn't it?Copy !req
355. Reading up on you
in Lex's files.Copy !req
356. I knew you had
a healing power,Copy !req
357. but your turbo I.Q. —Copy !req
358. well, that was
a pleasant surprise.Copy !req
359. I'm not gonna help you.Copy !req
360. So, I guess
you're gonna have to kill me.Copy !req
361. You know, you come
from a talented family.Copy !req
362. Your mom had a real giftCopy !req
363. for making people do anything
against their will.Copy !req
364. Lex had the foresightCopy !req
365. to draw as much spinal fluid
as we could from moira Sullivan.Copy !req
366. Add in a few million
in research,Copy !req
367. and we have ourselves a way
of making peopleCopy !req
368. do what we need them to do.Copy !req
369. Now, I won't say
it's perfect.Copy !req
370. It doesn't last long, but...Copy !req
371. It'll get the job done.Copy !req
372. Stay away from me.Copy !req
373. Find the final three digits.Copy !req
374. 173.Copy !req
375. Female voice:
Target position acquired.Copy !req
376. How thoughtful of him
to come to us.Copy !req
377. Well done, guys.
Everybody okay?Copy !req
378. Watch out!Copy !req
379. Do whatever it takesCopy !req
380. to find out what happened
to Lex Luthor.Copy !req
381. Would you mind not pointing
that thing at me?Copy !req
382. God, Clark.
I'm not aiming at you.Copy !req
383. What? I'm not.Copy !req
384. Besides,
it's only your kneecap.Copy !req
385. Well, that makes me feel
a lot better.Copy !req
386. Look, I know that you're
nervous, Smallville,Copy !req
387. but you got to remember
I grew up around green
berets and Navy seals,Copy !req
388. not cornstalks
and Jersey cows.Copy !req
389. You stick with me, I'll
protect you. You'll be fine.Copy !req
390. Chloe.Copy !req
391. Out of the way, Smallville.Copy !req
392. Chloe!
Lois!Copy !req
393. Lois, look behind you!
Watch out!Copy !req
394. Clark,
where have you been?Copy !req
395. I've been waiting for you.Copy !req
396. I'm sorry.Copy !req
397. I got held up
in a Russian work camp.Copy !req
398. I'm so glad you're okay.Copy !req
399. What happened to you?Copy !req
400. You're...
Human.Copy !req
401. Turns out, when Jor-El said
there was a way to control me...Copy !req
402. He meant
taking away your powers.Copy !req
403. How are we
gonna get out of here?Copy !req
404. Don't worry.
Oliver's with me.Copy !req
405. Security's closing in
on him.Copy !req
406. They already have
dinah and a.C.Copy !req
407. Watch Lois.Copy !req
408. Clark, you have no way
of defending yourself.Copy !req
409. I'll be fine.Copy !req
410. Oliver, there you are.Copy !req
411. I knew these guys
couldn't touch you.Copy !req
412. Where's Lex?Copy !req
413. Lex?Copy !req
414. I told you.
I have no idea.Copy !req
415. Aah! Aaah!Copy !req
416. That was a warning, Clark.Copy !req
417. The next one goes
straight through your heart.Copy !req
418. Answer me!Copy !req
419. Where is he?Copy !req
420. I don't know.Copy !req
421. Start talking,
or the biography of Clark KentCopy !req
422. comes to a sudden,
tragic end!Copy !req
423. Oliver...
You're not yourself.Copy !req
424. I'll do whatever it takes
to find Lex.Copy !req
425. I don't know!Copy !req
426. Oh, God.Copy !req
427. Clark, come on!Copy !req
428. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
429. I...Copy !req
430. Clark, look at me!Copy !req
431. Clark.
Oh, no!Copy !req
432. I can save him.Copy !req
433. I couldn't stop myself.Copy !req
434. Oliver, move back.
I can save him.Copy !req
435. No... Chloe.Copy !req
436. It's gonna be okay.Copy !req
437. No.Copy !req
438. It's not working.Copy !req
439. Clark?Copy !req
440. Hi.Copy !req
441. I'm here, Kal-El.Copy !req
442. Clark?Copy !req
443. How does it feel
to be whole again?Copy !req
444. I was dying.Copy !req
445. You saved me.Copy !req
446. You brought me
to some white light.Copy !req
447. The healing effect
of the sunCopy !req
448. brought you back
from death.Copy !req
449. I promised Jor-ElCopy !req
450. that I would only be
a watchful guardian,Copy !req
451. but I could not stand by
and let you die.Copy !req
452. You shouldn't have had to.Copy !req
453. Jor-El knew
he was sending youCopy !req
454. on an impossible odyssey —Copy !req
455. to be given the power
of a God...Copy !req
456. yet exist among humans.Copy !req
457. Sometimes I feel like
I need to beCopy !req
458. two separate people.Copy !req
459. Either way, I can't
keep expecting you to save me.Copy !req
460. Well, that was the last time.Copy !req
461. The burning sun
may strengthen you,Copy !req
462. but it has
the opposite effect on me.Copy !req
463. It stripped me of my powers.Copy !req
464. And we both know...Copy !req
465. That yours
is a greater destiny.Copy !req
466. But with the fortress
destroyed,Copy !req
467. you'll have to do it
without Jor-El's guidance.Copy !req
468. Or anyone else's.Copy !req
469. When I was dying,
I saw my dad.Copy !req
470. He was right there
in front of me.Copy !req
471. I saw my mom and Lana.Copy !req
472. They were there, too.Copy !req
473. So close, it was like I could
reach out and feel them.Copy !req
474. I've written eulogies.Copy !req
475. I've seen people
walk away from me...Copy !req
476. but I've never really
said goodbye.Copy !req
477. I've been holding onto a life
on this farmCopy !req
478. that hasn't existed
for years.Copy !req
479. So, what are you gonna do?Copy !req
480. Let it go.Copy !req
481. It's the only chance I have
of finding a new one.Copy !req
482. Ms. Mercer...Copy !req
483. It suits you.Copy !req
484. This desk belongs to Lex,Copy !req
485. and finding him is the only
thing that matters right now.Copy !req
486. Am I clear?Copy !req
487. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
488. This was retrieved
from the excavation siteCopy !req
489. in the Montana facility...Copy !req
490. Completely dismantled.Copy !req
491. And the guests
have been reassimilated.Copy !req
492. Any word on Lex?Copy !req
493. It's a footprint...Copy !req
494. Found in the arctic.Copy !req
495. But it's not Mr. Luthor's.Copy !req
496. That'll be all.Copy !req
497. What's happening to me?Copy !req
498. Jimmy!Copy !req
499. Hey!Copy !req
500. I've looked everywhere
for you.Copy !req
501. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
502. I should never have let Lex
get between us.Copy !req
503. No. It's in the past.Copy !req
504. Now, there's a little, um...Copy !req
505. Leftover business
about a ring.Copy !req
506. Please don't.Copy !req
507. All I want tonight
is just to be with you.Copy !req
508. That's kind of a big
diamond elephant in the room.Copy !req
509. Don't you think?Copy !req
510. Okay.Copy !req
511. I jumped the gun
in proposing to you,Copy !req
512. and I've had a lot of time
to think about it.Copy !req
513. And, obviously,
we're not in the same place.Copy !req
514. Let's just pretend
it didn't happen.Copy !req
515. So, you're rescinding
the offer?Copy !req
516. No, I just...Copy !req
517. I don't want an answer.Copy !req
518. I don't want things
to change between us.Copy !req
519. Yes.Copy !req
520. Great.Copy !req
521. Things will go back
to the way they were.Copy !req
522. No, Jimmy...Copy !req
523. Yes.Copy !req
524. All that time
alone in a cell,Copy !req
525. I realized that...Copy !req
526. What I wanted in the pastCopy !req
527. kept me from seeing
what I have right now.Copy !req
528. And that's you.Copy !req
529. You're perfect.Copy !req
530. I am so far from perfect.Copy !req
531. Which is perfect for me.Copy !req
532. Mm.Copy !req
533. Clark, glad to be back
from a little "r" and "r"?Copy !req
534. Guess you had to pull
your own weight for a while.Copy !req
535. Seriously, though,Copy !req
536. I owe you all my life.Copy !req
537. I don't know
how to thank you.Copy !req
538. Well, you would have
done the same thing
for any one of us.Copy !req
539. And we can't take
all the credit.Copy !req
540. I heard those are some
pretty sweet aerodynamicsCopy !req
541. your friend powered up
back there.Copy !req
542. Yeah, where you been hiding
that guy?Copy !req
543. It's a long story, but I'm sure
he'll be back one day.Copy !req
544. Well, unfortunately,Copy !req
545. we've still got
a minor problem out there.Copy !req
546. Yeah, you're not the only one
thawing outCopy !req
547. from a little freezer burn
there, boy scout.Copy !req
548. Lex.
Yeah.Copy !req
549. We sorted through
all the arctic tests,Copy !req
550. and there's no sign
of any human remains.Copy !req
551. We need to find him.
He knows my secret.Copy !req
552. It's not gonna be as easy
as you think.Copy !req
553. The new c.E.O. Of Luthorcorp'sCopy !req
554. even more deceptive
than Lex ever was.Copy !req
555. And now that our masks
have been ripped off,
we're seriously hampered.Copy !req
556. We might as well be wearing
name tags.Copy !req
557. We need to split up.Copy !req
558. We?Copy !req
559. I'd be careful, Clark.Copy !req
560. Pretty soon, you'll be sporting
a homemade costumeCopy !req
561. and leading a double identity
just like the rest of us.Copy !req
562. You might want to try something
a little more formfitting.Copy !req
563. We split up and cut off contact
with each other.Copy !req
564. We lay low,
find out what we can about Lex.Copy !req
565. Clark.Copy !req
566. Oh, I'm sorry.
Is this bothering you?Copy !req
567. The chair or you in it?Copy !req
568. Lois, I, um...Copy !req
569. I wanted to say I thought
you did well out there.Copy !req
570. You really earned your stripes
at your dad's boot camp.Copy !req
571. Thanks.Copy !req
572. And as for you...Copy !req
573. You actually surprised me —Copy !req
574. I mean, for your first attempt
at heroism.Copy !req
575. I better get going.Copy !req
576. I'll see you bright and early
Monday morning.Copy !req
577. Whoa, whoa.
Why Monday?Copy !req
578. What do you mean
"bright and early"?Copy !req
579. Lois, you're the one
who gave me the application.Copy !req
580. You're looking at the newest
recruit to the daily planet.Copy !req
581. That's great.Copy !req
582. What made you
change your mind?Copy !req
583. I guess I wanted to be
in the middle of the action.Copy !req
584. Good for you.Copy !req
585. So, are you gonna be starting
down in the mail room?Copy !req
586. No.Copy !req
587. I'm gonna be
a little closer to home.Copy !req
588. Looks like we're gonna
be neighbors, Lane.Copy !req
589. You've got to be kidding me.Copy !req
