1. The Book of Rao isn't here.Copy !req
2. You just came across that footage
but there's gotta be something more.Copy !req
3. I'm looking at it now, Clark.
Jor-El put it in the north wall.Copy !req
4. I wish I could give you more,
but thanks to Tess' break-in...Copy !req
5. Watchtower can barely run
"Donkey Kong"...Copy !req
6. let alone an image-enhancement
program.Copy !req
7. Chloe, if that book really holds
unlimited power, then we need to find it.Copy !req
8. Clark, this could explain why
our favorite alien nation has gone AWOL.Copy !req
9. Maybe Zod and the Kandorians are trying to
track down the holy Rao grail before we do.Copy !req
10. Gotta go.Copy !req
11. - Aah!
- Lois.Copy !req
12. - Clark.
- Sorry. I thought you were a...Copy !req
13. Thief?Copy !req
14. If you can't recognize my butt in jeans,
what are you thinking about?Copy !req
15. I know. I just— I've been distracted.Copy !req
16. Excuse me but our unemployment situation
has just gone to DEFCON 1.Copy !req
17. Lois, it's not a matter of life and death.Copy !req
18. Actually, it is.Copy !req
19. My phone just got turned off because
the Planet stopped paying my cell bill...Copy !req
20. and half my wardrobe is being held
hostage at the dry cleaner's.Copy !req
21. To top it off, it's as if you're expecting me
to save our unemployed derrieres...Copy !req
22. which, lucky for you, I have.Copy !req
23. I have found a story that will get us corner
offices at the Planet with parking on P1.Copy !req
24. - We have to start now.
- I appreciate the offer...Copy !req
25. - ... but I can't drop everything right now.
- Whoa.Copy !req
26. Hey.Copy !req
27. I have been pounding back
double-double espressos...Copy !req
28. just trying to keep us on a masthead,
and you've been doing what, exactly?Copy !req
29. I just have some responsibilities
that I can't ignore.Copy !req
30. Well, here's something I can't ignore.Copy !req
31. I need a purpose...Copy !req
32. some kind of bigger mission in life.Copy !req
33. - You don't seem to need that.
- You're under a lot of stress.Copy !req
34. I understand that,
but maybe you're just overreacting.Copy !req
35. To what?Copy !req
36. My life falling apart?Copy !req
37. Lois, just give me a break.Copy !req
38. You want a break?Copy !req
39. Maybe we should take a break.Copy !req
40. A break from this relationship.Copy !req
41. Clark.Copy !req
42. Mom.Copy !req
43. What a surprise.Copy !req
44. I thought you'd be at the Planet.Copy !req
45. I'm working from home.Copy !req
46. - What are you doing here?
- I need an excuse to see my own son?Copy !req
47. Lois, hi. You'll stay for dinner, I hope.Copy !req
48. I've got plenty for the four of us.Copy !req
49. "The four of us"?Copy !req
50. I don't know why you need
all these clothes.Copy !req
51. With my help,
you won't be wearing any—Copy !req
52. You remember Perry White?Copy !req
53. The Perry White?Copy !req
54. I think about him every day.Copy !req
55. Your father and I had our first date
in this barn.Copy !req
56. I made a surprise picnic,
but his truck broke down...Copy !req
57. so we ate it in here.Copy !req
58. I'm glad you made it home, Mom.Copy !req
59. Well, the Senate broke early for recess,
and...Copy !req
60. Oh, Clark, the truth is...Copy !req
61. I couldn't face the memories.Copy !req
62. It's hard coming back to this place.Copy !req
63. I'm just glad you're here now.Copy !req
64. About Perry, I hope you don't mind.Copy !req
65. I bumped into him at a committee hearing
a few months ago.Copy !req
66. It's okay, Mom.Copy !req
67. As long as he doesn't start looking
for a story.Copy !req
68. I've had my hands full
with the Kandorians.Copy !req
69. I'm so proud of everything you're doing
to help your people.Copy !req
70. Well, it hasn't been easy.Copy !req
71. More than ever, I've been living two lives.Copy !req
72. One of those lives is full of sacrifice...Copy !req
73. so I'm glad to see
the other one has Lois in it.Copy !req
74. I sleep better knowing
you have someone special in your life.Copy !req
75. Oh, my God. You have gotta forward this
to my high-school journalism teacher.Copy !req
76. "Check it out, Mrs. Kreitzman,
me and Perry White.Copy !req
77. Who's sorry now, beyotch?"Copy !req
78. Sorry, kid. Last thing I need is
a Mrs. Kreitzman on my ass.Copy !req
79. By the way, I've read some of your stuff.Copy !req
80. You and Clark are a regular
Woodward and Bernstein.Copy !req
81. Thanks.Copy !req
82. We aren't really writing together
at the moment.Copy !req
83. Is that your next big story?Copy !req
84. Yeah. I've been tracking this one
for months.Copy !req
85. Big players.
This thing is my white whale, kid.Copy !req
86. Sorry I can't share any details.Copy !req
87. Too bad, Ahab.Copy !req
88. I've got something pretty big
on the line too.Copy !req
89. It's gonna cause quite a splash.Copy !req
90. Hm. Well, if it's as huge
as you say it is...Copy !req
91. good luck reeling it in all by yourself.Copy !req
92. That's true.Copy !req
93. I don't have Clark right now to help
with the heavy lifting...Copy !req
94. but this puppy sells itself.Copy !req
95. It is gonna kick your story back
to Arts and Leisure.Copy !req
96. You've gotta be kidding me.Copy !req
97. This is a goth guy on a trampoline
in a jogging suit.Copy !req
98. No, it's the real thing.
I got a call from a—Copy !req
99. A guy who needed my help.Copy !req
100. And when I started investigating
this shady redhead...Copy !req
101. I found the mother lode.Copy !req
102. There are aliens here on our planet.Copy !req
103. And they are looking for this...Copy !req
104. the Book of Rao.Copy !req
105. The Book of Rao.Copy !req
106. Really?Copy !req
107. - I've seen this before.
- Oh.Copy !req
108. You gotta give some to get some.Copy !req
109. All right, Lane, here's what I've got.Copy !req
110. A secret government complex
in the Rocky Mountains was blown to bits.Copy !req
111. When I tried to investigate,
I was blocked by an operative...Copy !req
112. even the FBI doesn't know about,
code name Red Queen.Copy !req
113. Now, I think she's shadowing
a secret organization called Checkmate...Copy !req
114. which is fighting some kind
of terrorist invasion.Copy !req
115. And it's all somehow connected
with this.Copy !req
116. Maybe our two stories are really
the same story.Copy !req
117. This is your lucky day, kid.Copy !req
118. The big break most people
only dream about.Copy !req
119. You get to write a story
with Perry White.Copy !req
120. Damn it!Copy !req
121. What did you do to this place?Copy !req
122. Where is the Book of Rao?Copy !req
123. Gotta hand it to you, Mrs. K.Copy !req
124. Running Senate subcommittees by day,
cooking rocking meals by night.Copy !req
125. You put the M in "modern woman."
Me, I put the T in "takeout."Copy !req
126. So, tell me all the news.
How are you and Clark?Copy !req
127. Oh. You know, everything's peachy.Copy !req
128. You know us. Chocolate and peanut butter,
yin and yang, Tarzan and Jane.Copy !req
129. Okay, maybe not
the "pulling hair, jungle love of it all."Copy !req
130. Perry mentioned you aren't writing together.
Is everything okay?Copy !req
131. Yeah.Copy !req
132. Have you ever wanted to do something
really important with your life?Copy !req
133. Right.Copy !req
134. The Senator thing kind of says it all.Copy !req
135. It wasn't easy for me to leave Clark
and go to Washington.Copy !req
136. But a part of me really needed to take
that next step.Copy !req
137. That is exactly how I felt
when I was talking to—Copy !req
138. This friend.Copy !req
139. We used to work together.Copy !req
140. And when I helped him...Copy !req
141. it was like I had a higher purpose.Copy !req
142. Like I was...Copy !req
143. saving the world.Copy !req
144. You know, after the glow
of my wedding wore off...Copy !req
145. I wondered
if I'd made a huge mistake...Copy !req
146. following Jonathan to a small town
where I didn't fit in.Copy !req
147. I went from a city socialite
headed for law school...Copy !req
148. to being a farmer's wife,
marooned on an island of corn.Copy !req
149. Sounds like Survivor: Smallville.Copy !req
150. You can imagine how I felt...Copy !req
151. when I was offered a job interning
for a federal judge.Copy !req
152. I just jumped at the chance.Copy !req
153. It was such an exciting time in my life.Copy !req
154. But in the end, you didn't stay.Copy !req
155. I came home on a rainy weekend
and discovered the river was rising.Copy !req
156. So I pulled on work boots
and went down to the river with Jonathan.Copy !req
157. And we started throwing sandbags.Copy !req
158. We worked all night holding back
a wall of water.Copy !req
159. When the sun rose...Copy !req
160. I got to tell 20 families
that it was safe to go home again.Copy !req
161. The city girl saves the day.Copy !req
162. I didn't know what my purpose really was
until that rainy day.Copy !req
163. I just needed to look inside myself.Copy !req
164. Listen, Clark,
the Kandorians are still MIA.Copy !req
165. What about the Book of Rao?
I've searched the entire farm. It's not here.Copy !req
166. Lucky for us my mini
"Watchtower that could"...Copy !req
167. is actually pulling off
a monster-wide web search.Copy !req
168. So if there's any mention
of the Book of Rao anywhere in this—Copy !req
169. Bad news, Clark.Copy !req
170. It looks like I just got a Red Queen
virtual smack down.Copy !req
171. Red Queen?
Chloe, that sounds like Checkmate.Copy !req
172. Well, despite her handle, the Red Queen
isn't a figure on Checkmate's board.Copy !req
173. In fact, the rumor has it that her name
has been filed under "big, bad nemesis."Copy !req
174. I'll be there as soon as I can.Copy !req
175. I'm sort of held hostage here
until after my mom's family dinner.Copy !req
176. Okay.Copy !req
177. Come on. Sit. Join me in a drink.Copy !req
178. Club soda.Copy !req
179. Since that little wake-up call
of yours years ago...Copy !req
180. I'm a teetotaler and an utter bore.Copy !req
181. Still chasing down stories, I see.Copy !req
182. Oh, this is just a little freelance project
I'm doing on the side...Copy !req
183. with Lois, actually.Copy !req
184. I hope I'm not overstepping.Copy !req
185. No.Copy !req
186. There was this one story she wanted
my help on, but I...Copy !req
187. Looks like she's traded up
for a more experienced partner.Copy !req
188. I'll let you in on a little secret.
Experience is overrated.Copy !req
189. I spent the first 20 years of my career
living out of a carry-on bag...Copy !req
190. chasing every story that moved.
I was saving the world.Copy !req
191. That's a big job for a simple reporter.Copy !req
192. Yeah, well...Copy !req
193. two ex-wives and an ex-dog later,
it finally sunk in.Copy !req
194. What matters most is having someone
around to share your life with.Copy !req
195. Someone like your mom.Copy !req
196. Clark, here's the thing.Copy !req
197. I'm gonna ask your mother to marry me.Copy !req
198. I'd like your blessing.Copy !req
199. Listen, Mr. White, I don't wanna get
in the middle of anything.Copy !req
200. I'm not sure she's gonna give you
the answer you're looking for.Copy !req
201. Lois, we need to talk.Copy !req
202. I don't wanna take a break.
I still believe in us.Copy !req
203. I wanna believe in us too.Copy !req
204. But there's a lot I have to figure out
and I can't keep lying.Copy !req
205. Mom, everything smells great.Copy !req
206. Thanks, honey.
Could you two help me with the—Copy !req
207. Mom, what is it?Copy !req
208. Who's up for a crackling fire?Copy !req
209. What did I do?Copy !req
210. That was my dad's jacket.Copy !req
211. What a spread.Copy !req
212. You really outdid yourself, honey.Copy !req
213. All right, you lovebirds.Copy !req
214. Tell us what it's like
working together and dating.Copy !req
215. - It's never been better.
Hm.Copy !req
216. It's kind of like being on a chain gang
with your ball and chain.Copy !req
217. You know, sometimes our job gets
in the way, but we always work it out.Copy !req
218. Except when we don't.Copy !req
219. Didn't I read an engagement announcement
in the Daily Planet?Copy !req
220. I thought we weren't gonna bring
that up, dear?Copy !req
221. Lois and I got our signals crossed.Copy !req
222. Yeah, I don't know how
that "I do" slipped out.Copy !req
223. We're having so much fun,
we're just enjoying taking it slowly.Copy !req
224. Well, you don't hear that very often.Copy !req
225. I think it's nice to be
a little old-fashioned.Copy !req
226. Well, yeah.
People are in such a hurry these days.Copy !req
227. How's that working out for you, Lois?Copy !req
228. Heh.Copy !req
229. Well...Copy !req
230. Mrs. K., I can't keep lying to you.Copy !req
231. Clark and I aren't working together
at the Daily Planet. We were fired.Copy !req
232. And we aren't taking it slow,
we're actually taking a break.Copy !req
233. The truth is, Clark...Copy !req
234. I need to find a way
to make a difference with my life.Copy !req
235. And I realize now
that I can't look to you or...Copy !req
236. Or even the Blur
to make that happen for me.Copy !req
237. I need to do it on my own.Copy !req
238. So maybe what we need right now...Copy !req
239. isn't a break.Copy !req
240. It's a breakup.Copy !req
241. Excuse me.Copy !req
242. Lois?Copy !req
243. Lois, don't do this.Copy !req
244. If you care about me...Copy !req
245. then let me go.Copy !req
246. Don't worry.
I'll see that she gets back safe.Copy !req
247. I got a story that's just come up
anyway. Oh.Copy !req
248. Here, let me help you.
Yeah.Copy !req
249. Thanks for dinner. Bye, Clark.Copy !req
250. Oliver. Are you okay?Copy !req
251. Yeah. I'm gonna be great.Copy !req
252. Zod. He burned you.Copy !req
253. Okay, we have to get out of here.
Did this guy tell what he wants?Copy !req
254. I don't know what he wants.
He said something about the Red Queen...Copy !req
255. and a gold disk, a bunch of aliens.Copy !req
256. Really great stuff.
It sounded right up your alley.Copy !req
257. Hey, wait a minute.Copy !req
258. - This whole thing's an act, right?
- What?Copy !req
259. You had me hauled in here so you
could get information about this Rao thing.Copy !req
260. It's you.Copy !req
261. You're the Red Queen.Copy !req
262. Talk about a recipe for disaster.Copy !req
263. Well, it's all my fault.Copy !req
264. The last thing I wanted to do
was ruin your weekend with Perry.Copy !req
265. Clark, Perry didn't leave because of you.Copy !req
266. I thought I was ready,
but maybe it's still too soon.Copy !req
267. I guess we were all pretending things
were better than they were.Copy !req
268. I'm sorry I wasn't more honest with you,
Mom.Copy !req
269. I just wanted things to be the way
they used to be.Copy !req
270. But they're not.Copy !req
271. We both need to face that fact, Clark.Copy !req
272. Anyway, I'm not the person
you should be worried about.Copy !req
273. I know. I really messed things up with Lois.
It's just it's so complicated.Copy !req
274. Right when we got fired, I started having
problems with the Kandorians...Copy !req
275. and I just couldn't stop lying to her.Copy !req
276. Sometimes the hardest save to make
isn't a stranger in a burning building...Copy !req
277. it's the person closest to you.Copy !req
278. Maybe you need to be honest with her.Copy !req
279. I tried to tell her who I am...Copy !req
280. but she thought it was more important
I protect my identity.Copy !req
281. Talking to her as the Blur, I...Copy !req
282. I've seen a different side of her.Copy !req
283. And it's made me fall deeper...Copy !req
284. and it's just not a side
she's decided to share with Clark Kent.Copy !req
285. Clark, if you want her back...Copy !req
286. you're going to have to take the next step
in your relationship.Copy !req
287. Otherwise, you'll have to let her go.Copy !req
288. Thanks for all your help. I really needed
to get my head into a story right now.Copy !req
289. Well, either you've been robbed,
or I missed a hell of a party.Copy !req
290. My parties are never that good.Copy !req
291. You know what this means, don't you?Copy !req
292. We are officially a threat.Copy !req
293. Wow. They really did a number
on your closet.Copy !req
294. No, no. It's always like this.Copy !req
295. Hope this gets us to the Red Queen.Copy !req
296. She showed up around the same time
Waller disappeared.Copy !req
297. Maybe she's taken over
Checkmate's network.Copy !req
298. Taco Dan's. What can I get you?Copy !req
299. I know this phone is a direct line
to Checkmate, so here's my order.Copy !req
300. Red Queen. Nothing on the side, just her.Copy !req
301. Ma'am, this is a Mexican restaurant.Copy !req
302. Oh, right. Taco Dan's?
That the best you can come up with?Copy !req
303. I thought all you spy guys went to Yale?Copy !req
304. Lady, you have the wrong number.Copy !req
305. Oh, no, Austin Powers,
I have your number.Copy !req
306. I know that you work
for a covert organization...Copy !req
307. dedicated to defending the planet
from an alien invasion...Copy !req
308. that your boss was Amanda Waller...Copy !req
309. and that little chateau of yours in
the Rocky Mountains was blown to bits...Copy !req
310. probably by aliens
after the Book of Rao...Copy !req
311. which is why you better stop
with this act...Copy !req
312. and get us some face time
with the Red Queen right now.Copy !req
313. Or we'll yank Her Majesty
off the chessboard...Copy !req
314. and put her on the front
of the Daily Planet.Copy !req
315. Maybe that really was
a Mexican restaurant.Copy !req
316. Between this and the dinner disaster,
it looks like we're both 0 for 2 tonight.Copy !req
317. Queen to 37.318 minus 97.998.Copy !req
318. Your move.Copy !req
319. We just got the coordinates
to meet the Red Queen.Copy !req
320. Vala.Copy !req
321. I need your help.Copy !req
322. You killed my sister.Copy !req
323. You don't really believe that, do you?Copy !req
324. What do you want from me?Copy !req
325. Everything you know
about the Book of Rao.Copy !req
326. It's the Kandorian bible.Copy !req
327. And it has all the knowledge and power
of Rao.Copy !req
328. It will destroy our life on Earth.Copy !req
329. Does Zod have it?Copy !req
330. He's cast a wide net.Copy !req
331. But someone called the Red Queen
keeps blocking all of his moves.Copy !req
332. This Red Queen,
do you know who she is?Copy !req
333. Tess Mercer.Copy !req
334. - Chloe.
- I'm picking up a lot of high-level chatter.Copy !req
335. There's some big meet and greet
going down and the top of the guest list...Copy !req
336. is Lois Lane and Perry White.Copy !req
337. Who's hosting?Copy !req
338. Our pal the Red Queen.Copy !req
339. Vala thinks the Red Queen
is Tess' new handle.Copy !req
340. Clark, if this is Tess gone rogue,
then Lois and Perry are about to get buried.Copy !req
341. And I don't mean on page 10.Copy !req
342. Where is the Book of Rao?Copy !req
343. Tell me now, or I kill him.Copy !req
344. - I can't believe you're doing this to me, red.
- I'm not this Red Queen.Copy !req
345. No.Copy !req
346. Please don't kill him.
He has nothing to do with this.Copy !req
347. I am not asking again.Copy !req
348. You know, as much as I hate you for it...Copy !req
349. you were always the one.Copy !req
350. I love you.Copy !req
351. Nice try.Copy !req
352. You know, you had me going
until you made Oliver confess his love.Copy !req
353. You just had to go that one step too far.Copy !req
354. We know you have the Book of Rao.Copy !req
355. You try any more head games
and my torture won't be virtual.Copy !req
356. You were right. It didn't work.Copy !req
357. So is this what it was like
when you busted the Star City strangler?Copy !req
358. - Did I do that? In the '90s.
- Yeah.Copy !req
359. Those were my fuzzy-navel years.Copy !req
360. I blacked out most of that decade.Copy !req
361. Bogey, 12:00 high.Copy !req
362. Looks like we've got an audience
with the Queen.Copy !req
363. Look, Lane, if for some reason
I don't make it and you do—Copy !req
364. Don't talk like that.Copy !req
365. It's not pretty but it has to be said.
I think I deserve first position on the byline.Copy !req
366. Come on, Perry.Copy !req
367. Great Caesar's ghost.Copy !req
368. Perry.Copy !req
369. Perry.Copy !req
370. Perry, just hang on, okay?Copy !req
371. That's what I tried last time.Copy !req
372. Just...Copy !req
373. Okay, just grab the cable.Copy !req
374. Hang on, Perry.Copy !req
375. I've got you.Copy !req
376. I think I could get used to this.Copy !req
377. The Book of Rao, where is it?Copy !req
378. This isn't over, Tess.Copy !req
379. Chloe?Copy !req
380. Any sign of Tess Mercer? Her reign
as the Red Queen is about to end.Copy !req
381. While you were being kryptonited
by our mystery majesty...Copy !req
382. Tess was being treated
for cracked ribs at Met Gen.Copy !req
383. Then we still have to find the Red Queen.
When will Watchtower be up and running?Copy !req
384. Well, I can't exactly call
the Geek Squad, Clark.Copy !req
385. And I haven't really had much time to—Copy !req
386. I've seen you overhaul Watchtower
in one night, Chloe. What's the holdup?Copy !req
387. Watchtower's ready to go.Copy !req
388. I'm not.Copy !req
389. Clark, I found that footage of Jor-El
and the Book of Rao months ago.Copy !req
390. - Why didn't you tell me?
- I'm sorry.Copy !req
391. You know, I got tangled in my own
little world-wide web...Copy !req
392. and I lost track
of what was important.Copy !req
393. Clark, when you disappeared from my life,
I retracted into Watchtower.Copy !req
394. And as I became Big Brother, I—Copy !req
395. I guess more like Big Sister.Copy !req
396. It's easy to think having all the information
is the same as having all the answers.Copy !req
397. But I can't be the eye in the sky
anymore, Clark.Copy !req
398. And now that I have Ollie, I...Copy !req
399. I wanna plug in to the real world.Copy !req
400. Virtual reality bites.Copy !req
401. Chloe, what you've created here...Copy !req
402. it's bigger than both of us.Copy !req
403. It'll go on to serve future generations.Copy !req
404. I'm not the hero here.Copy !req
405. You may not be saving people
from train wrecks, Chloe, or shootouts...Copy !req
406. but you are just as much of a hero
as the rest of us.Copy !req
407. We're on the brink of war, Chloe,
and the world needs you.Copy !req
408. I need you.Copy !req
409. Clark, I just want you to know
that even when I hurt you...Copy !req
410. I was trying to protect you.Copy !req
411. Protect me.Copy !req
412. The Red Queen, I presume.Copy !req
413. Don't turn around.Copy !req
414. Slowly set the disk on the floor
and slide it back to me.Copy !req
415. Sorry that I sent
your mind reader packing.Copy !req
416. Don't be.Copy !req
417. I'm not a fan of his tactics
but he got the job done.Copy !req
418. You meant for me to get away.Copy !req
419. How did you know I'd come here?Copy !req
420. You're predictable.Copy !req
421. You may be really good at staying
one step ahead of Checkmate...Copy !req
422. but you don't know
the first thing about me.Copy !req
423. You say you're saving the planet
but you really only care about yourself.Copy !req
424. You figured out Maxwell's charade
because you knew in your heart...Copy !req
425. that Oliver's declaration of love
was a lie.Copy !req
426. You can't comprehend what it means
to truly protect someone you love.Copy !req
427. And stay away from Clark Kent.Copy !req
428. If you're not careful, you'll end up on
the wrong side of the coming apocalypse.Copy !req
429. Oh, my God, Perry.Copy !req
430. You've raised the dead.Copy !req
431. You have single-handedly
brought my flatlined career back to life.Copy !req
432. No big deal. I just put in a good word
with your boss, Stern.Copy !req
433. Well, I will never forget this.Copy !req
434. And neither will Clark.Copy !req
435. We make a good team, kid.Copy !req
436. Oh, I got a line on the Red Queen.
Nairobi.Copy !req
437. I'm flying out tomorrow.Copy !req
438. Tomorrow? What about you and Mrs. K.?Copy !req
439. Oh, I'm not giving up on her yet.Copy !req
440. Martha's one story
I'm not sharing with anyone.Copy !req
441. So what do you say, kid. Africa?Copy !req
442. Normally, I would jump at the chance
at running away from my problems.Copy !req
443. After one day in the trenches
with Perry White...Copy !req
444. I realized I don't have to go anywhere
to find my higher calling. I just...Copy !req
445. I needed to find the hero inside myself.Copy !req
446. Goodbye, Lane. You're the real deal.Copy !req
447. See you, chief.Copy !req
448. Oh, and tell Clark we're even.Copy !req
449. I owed him one from a long time ago.Copy !req
450. I can't believe you have to go back
to being Senator Kent today.Copy !req
451. When it's just the two of us here,
I'm your mom and nobody else.Copy !req
452. I wish you could come back
and visit more often.Copy !req
453. I had to let go of this place
for a while, Clark...Copy !req
454. but I never let go of you.Copy !req
455. I'll be back soon.Copy !req
456. Maybe next time you can ease up
on the kryptonite.Copy !req
457. Clark, what on earth
are you talking about?Copy !req
458. You kept me in the house for dinner so your
people could track down the Book of Rao.Copy !req
459. Once you knew that Perry and Lois were on
to you, you had to throw them off the trail.Copy !req
460. You are the Red Queen.Copy !req
461. Why didn't you come to me with this?Copy !req
462. Because I didn't want you
in the line of fire.Copy !req
463. So you dragged
Perry White along instead?Copy !req
464. I had no idea he was on the trail.Copy !req
465. You know, he makes me laugh.
He makes me feel like...Copy !req
466. everything's gonna be okay.Copy !req
467. But I can't afford that luxury right now.Copy !req
468. I'm sorry, but I'm gonna need
the Book of Rao.Copy !req
469. It was left here by Jor-El for me
to save this planet.Copy !req
470. That's what you and Dad raised me for.Copy !req
471. It's my destiny.Copy !req
472. Your father and I always trusted you
to do the right thing.Copy !req
473. It seemed easier then.Copy !req
474. But now, what you're up against...Copy !req
475. When I went to Washington...Copy !req
476. I found there were forces working
against you.Copy !req
477. I wanted to protect you.Copy !req
478. But I couldn't do it as Martha Kent.Copy !req
479. So I became the Red Queen.Copy !req
480. The Book of Rao.Copy !req
481. Are you okay, Mom?Copy !req
482. It's just...Copy !req
483. I told myself the world needs Clark Kent
even more than I do.Copy !req
484. But the truth is,
I was so afraid of losing you.Copy !req
485. You'll never lose me. I'll always be here.Copy !req
486. You don't understand.Copy !req
487. The Book of Rao can be used
to transport the Kandorians...Copy !req
488. to another plane of existence.Copy !req
489. That may be the answer we need.Copy !req
490. Clark...Copy !req
491. if the Book of Rao is used
to send the Kandorians away...Copy !req
492. all Kryptonians will be exiled
from Earth...Copy !req
493. including you.Copy !req
