1.  Previously on Smallville:Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
2.  I've picked out a nice font for my exposé.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
3.  I actually had another headline in mind.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
4.  "The Blur Murders Lois Lane."Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
5.  No!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
6.  I know you're out there somewhere.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
7.  I've been keeping an eye on you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
8.  I have to see you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
9.  How do you feel about phone booths?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
10.  Hello?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
11.  This is
the Red-Blue Blur. I received your letter.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
12.  What I've really been wondering is,
what is it you need?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
13.  I need your help.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
14.  - But you can't tell anyone about it.
- I promise.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
15.  I wouldn't ask
if it weren't a matter of life or death.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
16.  Welcome to Checkmate.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
17.  We've been blocked by a new player.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
18.  How do you get yourself
into these things, Lane?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
19.  Evening, sir. Good to see you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
20.  An honor, sir.
Hey.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
21.  The guy's inside, boss.
Says he'll only show it to you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
22.  - Wants to collect the million-dollar reward.
Really?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
23.  Hi, Ray.
Ladies.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
24.  Hey, doll face.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
25.  Hey, boss.
Ha, ha. My old friend.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
26.  - It's been too long.
Ray, how you doing?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
27.  Hey.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
28.  - Glad to have you back, Ray.
Oh, good to be back, darling.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
29.  Your coat, sir?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
30.  Thanks, sweetie.
- Go right in.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
31.  Well, as your ex-district attorney...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
32.  I'd like to thank you all
for joining me in celebrating...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
33.  the national treasure
that is our American justice system.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
34.  You know, they kicked me out of office...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
35.  they charged me
with attempted murder...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
36.  they even tried to put me away for life,
and yet...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
37.  here I am.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
38.  So I understand you have something
for me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
39.  What about my million dollars?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
40.  Don't test me, son.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
41.  Lois.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
42.  Clark?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
43.  I told you to find the story...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
44.  not be the story.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
45.  One of you wanna tell me
what happened?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
46.  Let me guess.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
47.  You two had a lovers' spat?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
48.  Clark and I don't spat.
There was no spatting.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
49.  Lois is saying we try not to let our
personal lives get in the way of our jobs.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
50.  Well, you don't have to try anymore.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
51.  Because you're both fired.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
52.  Chloe.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
53.  Can you believe it? I'm early.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
54.  No, Lois, early is when you arrive
at your destination by a set time...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
55.  not when you see it
seven blocks away.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
56.  Uh-uh. Nobody's raining
on this girl's parade today.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
57.  Clark's taking me up to the roof tonight
to do a little stargazing.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
58.  Okay. That explains the 911
to the craigslist queen.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
59.  Long live the queen.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
60.  I can't believe you got one so fast.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
61.  I kind of noticed that Clark has this thing
for telescopes.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
62.  Do you think he'll like it?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
63.  I think he'll love it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
64.  But what is it exactly about a telescope
that merits 76 trombones and a big parade?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
65.  Well, tonight's the night.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
66.  In the words of the general:Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
67.  "It's time to drop the L-bomb."Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
68.  What? You mean to tell me that you guys
haven't volleyed the word yet?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
69.  Among other significant
relationship milestones.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
70.  I don't know.
Things used to be easier with Clark...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
71.  back when you'd wake up...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
72.  and the first thing you'd do
is check for a text or an e-mail...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
73.  and it'd be there waiting for you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
74.  Anyway, things have been different...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
75.  ever since we decided
we could keep secrets from each other.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
76.  But that's all changing tonight.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
77.  Wait a minute. Secrets? Changing? How?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
78.  No more secrets.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
79.  It's time to take our baggage
out of the closet.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
80.  I mean, if we I each other...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
81.  then nothing should come between us,
right?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
82.  Hey, do you ever check your voicemail?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
83.  Somebody missed breakfast in bed
with Oliver.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
84.  I'm not here to talk about my love life.
I'm here to talk about yours.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
85.  Can't we stick to a topic
like aliens assimilating the Earth?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
86.  This isn't about assimilating, Clark.
Zod has powers now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
87.  And you told him all of your secrets.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
88.  This is not a good time
to bring Lois in too.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
89.  - Lois?
- Yeah. She told me about your big date...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
90.  where you both come clean
with everything.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
91.  I'm not gonna tell Lois anything.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
92.  I'm making Lois dinner tonight
so she shares her secret.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
93.  She's been keeping something from me.
I didn't wanna spy on her.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
94.  It's been driving me crazy.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
95.  So you're gonna seduce it out of her?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
96.  You're the reason all of this is happening.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
97.  I have not called her
as the Blur in months.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
98.  The second that your back-in-black
alter ego asked Lois to lie about the Blur...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
99.  was the day you asked her to lie
to the person she loves, which is you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
100.  And she did.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
101.  A relationship with secrets
can never work.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
102.  - Look at you and Oliver. Everything's out.
- Because we both understand...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
103.  our relationship comes second
to a higher calling.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
104.  - Clark, you and Lois—
- Don't have to be any different.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
105.  Now, if Lois was gonna trust me tonight,
maybe it's time I trusted her.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
106.  Hey.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
107.  Hey.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
108.  Did you already get my message?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
109.  Yep.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
110.  So we're still on for tonight?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
111.  Definitely.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
112.  What's in the box?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
113.  A surprise.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
114.  It's gonna be a long day.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
115.  Yep.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
116.  How about a sneak preview?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
117.  Sometimes I swear
you have more than two hands.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
118.  Either that kiss
altered my sense of time and space...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
119.  or this place is busier than usual.
It's a big news day.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
120.  It has something to do
with our new editor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
121.  Another editor? They should install
a rotating door up there.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
122.  Our illustrious owner has spun
some big wheel of fortune in the sky...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
123.  to see who'd be steering the ship
this week.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
124.  Well, I guess I pulled the lucky number
this week.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
125.  Franklin Stern.
And this live wire must be...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
126.  the lovely and charming Miss Lane,
I presume.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
127.  Miss Lane is an acquired taste.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
128.  It's just that ever since Tess went away,
we've gone through a lot of editors.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
129.  Well, not for long.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
130.  The board just launched a global search
for the next editor-in-chief.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
131.  I intend to make their decision very easy.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
132.  And you decided to start your campaign
by downsizing the desk inventory?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
133.  Miss Lane...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
134.  I have been reading
through the personnel files...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
135.  to identify any red flags...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
136.  and I understand you two are entangled
in an inter-office relationship?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
137.  - Heh. No.
- No, sir.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
138.  Yeah. Right.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
139.  Well, for whatever reason...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
140.  you're both spending so much time
out of the office...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
141.  trying to reel in the big fish...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
142.  you're not delivering the daily catch.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
143.  To be fair, we've both turned in
some pretty big stories.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
144.  Here's a bigger one.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
145.  Our fair city's disgraced DA, Ray Sacks...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
146.  just had his life sentence reversed.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
147.  He gets out of prison today.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
148.  Only one of these stays on the desk
at the end of the day.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
149.  May the best reporter win.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
150.  Oliver gave you keys to his office.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
151.  He must trust you
with just about all of his secrets.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
152.  Tess. I thought you were supposed
to be underground?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
153.  If you're having a hard time finding
your way there, I'm sure I could help.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
154.  So we're over the temporary truce
and straight back to fire at will.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
155.  Okay.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
156.  Just remember, Chloe, that out there,
I might be MIA, but in here...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
157.  I'm still CEO.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
158.  Where is Oliver?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
159.  Out of town.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
160.  I was curious how you two
got into each other's orbit.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
161.  Mutual friends.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
162.  Which I understand
you could use help finding...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
163.  considering the fact you have to go
to outer space to look for them.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
164.  The Kandorians?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
165.  You'll see, Chloe,
they're better as allies than enemies.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
166.  Clark gets that.
Why don't you and Oliver?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
167.  Clark optimistically thinks...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
168.  that Zod will be happy wearing an apron
and slinging coffees.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
169.  We don't.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
170.  Especially now that he has powers.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
171.  We?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
172.  As in you and Green Arrow?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
173.  Chloe, I get what you see
in your heroes...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
174.  but what do they see in you?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
175.  I could ask Zod the same about you,
but I guess I don't have to anymore.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
176.  I've been watching you two...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
177.  and it seems like Zod hasn't been home
for dinner for quite a while.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
178.  Be careful, Miss Mercer.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
179.  At this rate,
you're gonna run out of people to betray.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
180.  What's worse? They freed the DA
that threw me off the roof...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
181.  or our editor threw us in the ring
to wrestle for the desk?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
182.  Don't worry. If we land a big enough story,
we can save both our jobs.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
183.  In order to reverse his sentence...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
184.  Sacks must still have powerful friends
down at city hall.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
185.  According to the blogs, he's having
a welcome home party at Maxwell's.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
186.  Crime kingpins like to keep out outsiders.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
187.  It'd be easier to crash the White House
than it would be to sneak into that party.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
188.  We have till the end of the day
to get this done.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
189.  We'd cover more ground
if we split the work.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
190.  That's a good idea.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
191.  Can't wait for tonight.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
192.  Hey, it's me, Lois. Guess you're out.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
193.  It's strange to think I can leave a message
for the Blur. Not "strange" weird.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
194.  It's hard to picture the Blur
screening his calls.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
195.  Not that you'd screen my calls but—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
196.  Me again. Got cut off.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
197.  That's not a lot of time for a message.
That beep comes at you pretty fast.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
198.  Then again, you are the Blur.
I'm sure you'd like it fast, but I—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
199.  Here's the deal.
I'm on a story about our deadly ex-DA.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
200.  Normally, I'd be working
with my partner...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
201.  but I wanna keep him safe, secure,
and as far from Sacks...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
202.  and his murderous mob as I can.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
203.  Clark's not bulletproof but you are.
Be my wingman?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
204.  Lois will find a way to see Sacks
before the party.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
205.  - Chloe, I have to find him first.
- I get it, Clark.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
206.  I'm spending a small fortune of Oliver's
money to update security at Watchtower.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
207.  Plus I have a satellite trained on your
fortress now that Zod knows your zip code.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
208.  I understand the instinct
to protect the ones you love.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
209.  Half of being in a relationship with Lois
is protecting her from herself.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
210.  Actually, she's not the only one
Sacks is gunning for right now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
211.  He's offering a million-dollar reward...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
212.  for anyone who can supply
an image of the Blur.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
213.  Again, what's with this guy
and his obsession with the Blur?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
214.  It has something to do
with the fact you disgraced him...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
215.  and threw him in prison.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
216.  Since he's been out,
I have a hard time tracking him down.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
217.  Sacks is all about the VIP treatment.
Maybe he's got a favorite bar or restaurant.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
218.  Someplace that he would wanna go to
after being locked down for eight months.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
219.  Ha.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
220.  Our paroled prosecutor
does have a favorite haunt...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
221.  but it isn't exactly five-star.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
222.  Mr. Sacks.
Lois Lane from the Daily Planet.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
223.  You may remember me
from the roof of the Daily Planet.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
224.  Oh, yes. Yes, I remember you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
225.  You have a nasty habit of always landing
on your feet, don't you?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
226.  And now I need to land a story.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
227.  So who let you out of your cage?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
228.  Since I'm the one that you sent skydiving
without a parachute...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
229.  I figure I'm at least owed a quote.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
230.  You have too much faith
in the Blur, Lane...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
231.  to think you can meet with me
like this alone.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
232.  My editor knows where I am.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
233.  Hurt me, and you'll be back behind bars
before this pizza cools off.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
234.  Oh, I won't hurt you, no. He will.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
235.  And this time, they won't find me guilty
because they'll never find your body.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
236.  It's him. Come on. Go, go.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
237.  Wait.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
238.  Thank you for saving my bacon.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
239.  I'd be two strips of pain on the pavement
if you hadn't gotten my call.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
240.  What call?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
241.  You have no idea what it means
that you trusted me enough...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
242.  to let me help you these past weeks.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
243.  I have never felt such a sense of purpose
in my entire life.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
244.  Whatever you need,
you can count on me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
245.  Payday.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
246.  That million's mine.
I got a picture of the Blur.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
247.  What you've got is two choices.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
248.  You either trash that photo
or I throw you in the trash.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
249.  Lois, stop.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
250.  - Who are you calling?
- It's not important.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
251.  No, that's the Blur, isn't it?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
252.  Why would you think that?
And what are you even doing here?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
253.  Lois, you told me
that you stopped talking to the Blur.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
254.  All those secrets that you've been keeping
from me, it's him, isn't it?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
255.  Okay, this is between the Blur and me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
256.  That's all I can tell you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
257.  Lois, do you even know
who you're really talking to?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
258.  Okay, what's going on here?
Clark, you don't need to be jealous.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
259.  No, I'm not. I just— Lois...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
260.  I need to know who that is.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
261.  You did not just ask me that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
262.  Is this about the story?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
263.  You want me to give up the Blur
just to save our job?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
264.  Lois, I'm trying to save you. Don't—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
265.  Don't you think
you might have too much blind faith?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
266.  Because if he trusted me,
he'd show himself? Is that it?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
267.  Lois...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
268.  Okay, I need you to listen to me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
269.  No, Clark.
I am sure he is dying to tell me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
270.  But how could anyone who cares about me
put me in that kind of position?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
271.  If I knew his true identity...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
272.  then every lowlife with high hopes
of hurting him would come after me...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
273.  and he would never put me in that kind
of danger to get a secret off his back.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
274.  That's why I trust him.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
275.  I take it your search for Sacks
didn't go well.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
276.  I found Sacks,
but I may have just lost Lois...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
277.  or at least her trust.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
278.  Oh, no. I know that look.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
279.  What happened?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
280.  I did this to myself, Chloe.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
281.  I asked Lois to keep her calls
with the Blur a secret...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
282.  and she did...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
283.  even from me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
284.  Now someone is calling her,
pretending to be the Blur.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
285.  Why? Who would wanna Blur a mile
in your shoes?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
286.  I don't know. Checkmate, Zod, Tess.
They've all been circling my secret.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
287.  I stole her phone to see
who she was calling.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
288.  She's already deleted the list.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
289.  As much as I don't want to,
I have to say...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
290.  it's impressive how committed Lois is
to protecting the Blur.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
291.  From me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
292.  Yeah, talk about a Kafkaesque nightmare.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
293.  I almost ended it
and told her everything...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
294.  till she reminded me why I can never
put her in that kind of danger.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
295.  I need to find whoever's lying to Lois
using my identity.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
296.  She said she had something to tell him.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
297.  And you want Watchtower to trace the call.
Got it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
298.  I would've
called you on my cell, but I can't find it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
299.  Someone photographed you
on their phone...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
300.  and they're about to sell it
to Ray Sacks.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
301.  I don't know when you'll get this. I'll blitz
his bash and try to run interference.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
302.  You need to get there
as soon as you can.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
303.  Hey, where's the surprise?
What? I don't know.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
304.  It was supposed to be here
30 minutes ago.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
305.  Piece of cake.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
306.  They kicked me out of office...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
307.  they charged me
with attempted murder...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
308.  they even tried to put me away for life,
and yet...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
309.  here I am.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
310.  So I understand
you have something for me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
311.  What about my million dollars?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
312.  Don't test me, son.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
313.  Lois?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
314.  Clark?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
315.  Oops. Sorry about your million dollars.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
316.  Oh, that's okay, kid.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
317.  We don't need that picture.
We just need you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
318.  Three years of selfless service to this paper
and the new editor on the block fires me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
319.  - Not just you.
- One of us would have kept their job...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
320.  if you hadn't been so obsessed
with unmasking the Blur.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
321.  I don't know how you found out about
that photo, but crashing Sacks' party?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
322.  How many hurdles are you willing to jump
to expose the person I'm trying to protect?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
323.  You jumped out of a cake
and you slugged me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
324.  It was just a distraction.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
325.  I had to do something extreme to destroy
that dangerous picture, no thanks to you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
326.  - Lois—
- No, save it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
327.  You have it in for the Blur.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
328.  Whatever you're gonna tell me
isn't gonna make a difference.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
329.  I'm seeing a whole other side of you, Clark,
and for the first time...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
330.  I'm not a fan of the view.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
331.  I take it this is the official invitation
to join you, the Black King.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
332.  Your work on this operation has proven
to be surprisingly invaluable.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
333.  They have all witnessed the Blur.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
334.  Pieces of his identity
have been locked within their minds.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
335.  They simply need to be assembled.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
336.  And you're extracting their memories
with this whole Jedi mind-control thing.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
337.  Very impressive interrogation skills.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
338.  Listen, Mr. Lord,
I am no friend of the Blur...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
339.  but why are you after him?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
340.  You are aware, Sacks,
that metahumans exist on the planet.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
341.  I assume this Checkmate agency wants
to use them to protect and serve?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
342.  That's the White Queen's plan.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
343.  Waller barks orders from behind a desk.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
344.  I work in the real world...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
345.  a world that needs the rule of law.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
346.  Anything outside the natural order
is unpredictable.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
347.  Now, correct me if I'm wrong.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
348.  You have powers.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
349.  You're one of them.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
350.  Which is exactly why I know
how dangerous they can be...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
351.  and why I plan on eliminating them.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
352.  Chloe, when did you find this?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
353.  - Can't you get a clearer picture?
- Whoa, Clark. Okay, one at a time.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
354.  I was following Lois in case
she found Sacks before you did.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
355.  I got the security footage
from a camera 60 floors up.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
356.  Now, unfortunately, zoom technology
isn't exactly on par with x-ray vision.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
357.  Where was Lois taken?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
358.  I don't know. I lost the car right after
it went into Rombauer Tunnel.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
359.  - This has to be Sacks.
- I did some digging.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
360.  Right around the time
our devious DA walked...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
361.  all his new little prison friends
were transferred off the grid.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
362.  Chloe, I know these guys.
I put every one of them behind bars.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
363.  All violent offenders. The only person who
can authorize their transfer is the governor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
364.  Who did you say threw Sacks'
little welcome home mobster ball?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
365.  Some tycoon named Maxwell Lord.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
366.  Three guesses who the largest contributor
to the governor's re-election fund was.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
367.  With that kind of influence,
Lord has serious strings he can pull.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
368.  If Maxwell Lord wants the Blur,
that's exactly who he'll get.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
369.  You should see Lord's setup downstairs.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
370.  This guy is a major player.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
371.  And he has just given me
the key to the city.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
372.  Checkmate.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
373.  You're fighting it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
374.  You know him, don't you?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
375.  Get away from her.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
376.  Ah.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
377.  I see we're past formal introductions.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
378.  Stop.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
379.  One wrong step and I'll eviscerate
every last thought in her head.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
380.  You're using their memories
to learn my identity.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
381.  - Let them go. They don't know who I am.
- True.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
382.  They've only seen glimpses of your face,
nothing more. You've been careful.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
383.  Except for this one.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
384.  Even unconscious,
her mind protects memories of you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
385.  Maybe she doesn't have any.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
386.  Or maybe the connection
between you two is stronger.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
387.  Stronger than the fear that binds you
with the others.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
388.  Stronger...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
389.  because of love.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
390.  You're here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
391.  I can't know who you are.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
392.  I'd give anything to see your face...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
393.  to know your name.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
394.  But you can't protect us
if we know who you are.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
395.  I understand that now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
396.  Go.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
397.  Sorry, Max. Little change of itinerary.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
398.  So it's true. The Red Queen does exist.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
399.  The upside to unemployment is you don't
have to pick out a tie every morning.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
400.  You're beating yourself up, aren't you?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
401.  Oh, which me?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
402.  The Blur Lois would die to protect or
the boyfriend Lois is protecting him from?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
403.  Don't be so hard on yourself, Clark.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
404.  Not everyone with a press pass
is moonlighting...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
405.  as the city's greatest superhero.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
406.  And the whole phone-rooftop-Blur thing...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
407.  at least give yourself points for trying
to be as honest as you could with Lois.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
408.  I guess if half of me has Lois' trust...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
409.  and the other half gets the rest of her,
it all works out in some weird way.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
410.  There's only one problem with that.
One of those halves has to say goodbye.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
411.  I finished tracing the number
of our rogue Blur...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
412.  to RAO Industries.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
413.  It was Zod.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
414.  Everything he said about brotherhood,
it was all a lie.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
415.  Of course he's the one
who's been using Lois.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
416.  I know you wanna take
your anger out on Zod.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
417.  But you and I know there's something
you have to take care of first.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
418.  Until you can tell Lois
that you are the one and only Blur...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
419.  anyone with a voice modulator
and a calling plan can pretend to be you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
420.  I know what I have to do.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
421.  Hello?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
422.  CLARK [IN DISTORTED VOICE
Lois, thank you for coming.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
423.  Well, when the Blur leaves a handwritten
message, you better believe I'm there.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
424.  Chalk it up to the curiosity
of a recently unemployed reporter...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
425.  but since we've been doing this
cell-to-cell...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
426.  why are we back to doing this
old-school?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
427.  I wanted to have this conversation...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
428.  in a place that meant something to us.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
429.  Oh. Sounds awfully official.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
430.  But, hey, you're the boss.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
431.  So, what's my next impossible mission?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
432.  There won't be one, Lois.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
433.  I'm sorry. This is our last conversation.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
434.  Last conversation today or for a while?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
435.  If you have to go back on another hiatus,
I understand. I'll be there.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
436.  As in, our last talk...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
437.  forever.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
438.  No.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
439.  Our relationship put you at risk.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
440.  I know we would do anything
to protect each other.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
441.  What if one day I'm too late?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
442.  But you don't understand.
I don't care about the risk.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
443.  When I'm working with you,
I'm doing something good...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
444.  something right.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
445.  You don't need me for that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
446.  But I do need you.
I didn't realize it until it was too late...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
447.  but this is the most important part
of my life.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
448.  There must be some other part
that means more to you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
449.  When I'm with you,
it's about more than what I want...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
450.  who I want.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
451.  It is something that is bigger than me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
452.  I wish things could be different, Lois.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
453.  This is the only way I can protect you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
454.  I won't call again.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
455.  If anyone calls claiming to be me...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
456.  don't believe them.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
457.  No matter what they say or what happens,
you can't trust them.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
458.  No, please.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
459.  I will be watching over you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
460.  I promise.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
461.  Goodbye, Lois.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
462.  Goodbye.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
463.  I'm glad you still came up
after what we talked about on the street.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
464.  It's beautiful, Clark. Thank you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
465.  What is it, Lois?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
466.  You know you can tell me anything.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
467.  Can I?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
468.  Then why did I lie to you?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
469.  We both agreed we would keep
some things to ourselves.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
470.  I have been talking to the Blur, Clark.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
471.  Doing things for him, sharing things
with him that I couldn't share with you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
472.  It was probably just the reporter blood
