1. I wish we had more time.Copy !req
2. Earth to Lois.Copy !req
3. It's like you've been on another planet
for the last 15 minutes.Copy !req
4. Easy, Armstrong.
This space case is buried in research.Copy !req
5. I've got like two weeks' worth
of work to catch up on.Copy !req
6. It was sort of a last-minute vacation,
wasn't it?Copy !req
7. Yeah, well, I've got
a pretty tightly wound bolt reflex.Copy !req
8. Is this about what happened?Copy !req
9. Are you turning red?Copy !req
10. Believe it or not, my ejector-seat
malfunction wasn't totally about you.Copy !req
11. We should talk about it.Copy !req
12. When I wanna talk about it,
I'll send up a smoke signal.Copy !req
13. Excuse me. Can you help me?
I need a signature.Copy !req
14. I've got a delivery out back
and nobody's in yet.Copy !req
15. Ho, ho, ho, merry Christmas to me.Copy !req
16. - You want me to help you with this?
- No.Copy !req
17. Did I ever tell you that
I used to unwrap my presents...Copy !req
18. and rewrap them
while my parents were sleeping?Copy !req
19. You know what, Lois,
that doesn't surprise me at all.Copy !req
20. - Just what I've always wanted.
- Is that—?Copy !req
21. I don't think it's powdered sugar,
Smallville.Copy !req
22. Lois Lane, Daily Planet.Copy !req
23. Care to comment on what illegal activities
got you trussed up like a turkey?Copy !req
24. I'm a cop. We're all undercover cops.Copy !req
25. Our sting went south.Copy !req
26. Someone thought
you were the real dealers.Copy !req
27. Who could be responsible
for such a super screwup?Copy !req
28. Hey, there's something on the building.Copy !req
29. Who do you think did it?Copy !req
30. It's amazing.Copy !req
31. That is the Blur.Copy !req
32. Now, that's what I call a scoop.Copy !req
33. The Blur doesn't call for weeks,
now he's overnighting our boys in blue.Copy !req
34. He's probably in the stratosphere
because he doesn't have his go-to girl.Copy !req
35. No way the botched save is a work
of the Blur. It's not his MO.Copy !req
36. I'll admit sugar-coating
is not his style...Copy !req
37. but the 20-story calling card
was unmistakable.Copy !req
38. I'm beginning to lose faith
in our resident hero.Copy !req
39. You're breaking my heart.
I need a feature on the Blur's tactics...Copy !req
40. - ... by the end of the day.
- You don't think this is big news?Copy !req
41. Turns out Adrian Pope,
the organized-crime boss...Copy !req
42. is on the street because of the
Blur's blunder. The DA is out for blood.Copy !req
43. When is the DA not out for blood?Copy !req
44. He's just trying to cover up
his dirty connections.Copy !req
45. Listen, I am not your Blur girl
on this one.Copy !req
46. Just run with it.Copy !req
47. Listen, just see this as an opportunity
to investigate both sides of the story.Copy !req
48. That would require
a certain super someone...Copy !req
49. to actually find five minutes
to give me a call.Copy !req
50. What's with the disguise?Copy !req
51. All my flannel is at the dry cleaners.
Go figure.Copy !req
52. - Lois.
- Pst! Leave it alone, Inspector Gadget.Copy !req
53. I have a top-secret interview
for an exposé on the hush-hush.Copy !req
54. So don't follow me.Copy !req
55. Could you lose the notebook?Copy !req
56. I would prefer that all our meetings
remain off the record.Copy !req
57. Whatever makes you feel
more comfortable, Lois.Copy !req
58. Why don't you start by describing
these dreams you've been having?Copy !req
59. Okay. Well, they're as real
as you and me right now.Copy !req
60. More real, actually.Copy !req
61. And despite some flashes
of some serious NC-17 violence...Copy !req
62. really, the situation involves clothes
coming off.Copy !req
63. You know, naked skin.
Skin on skin. Just—Copy !req
64. Lots of skin.Copy !req
65. So it's a sex dream...Copy !req
66. with the coworker
you mentioned before?Copy !req
67. Clark Kent?Copy !req
68. What is this, Nightline?Copy !req
69. All right, yes, I'm doing the virtual
Kama Sutra with Clark Kent.Copy !req
70. My desk is soft-core central.Copy !req
71. Listen, Lois. You came to me to explore
the deeper meaning...Copy !req
72. within these vivid dreams
you've been having.Copy !req
73. And all of this
doesn't have to be taken literally.Copy !req
74. A lack of clothing in a dream can signify
the desire to uncover...Copy !req
75. what's actually hidden.Copy !req
76. You know, sometimes I do feel
that Clark is hiding something.Copy !req
77. It sounds crazy...Copy !req
78. but the closer I get to him,
the more...Copy !req
79. I feel like he's going to disappear.Copy !req
80. Could this have something to do with
your three weeks of blocked memory?Copy !req
81. Maybe you're trying
to protect yourself, Lois.Copy !req
82. Didn't you say that the last time
you opened up to someone...Copy !req
83. your mysterious caller...Copy !req
84. he vanished?Copy !req
85. I need a heroCopy !req
86. Till the end of the night
He's gotta be strongCopy !req
87. Speak of the devil. The Halley's comet
of phone dating himself.Copy !req
88. Sayonara, super stud.Copy !req
89. You still have strong feelings
for this mystery man.Copy !req
90. Please. Remember eight tracks
and rotary phones?Copy !req
91. That's him. Ancient history.Copy !req
92. The fact you haven't gotten that
news flash means I'm wasting my time...Copy !req
93. with all of this head-shrink,
mumbo-jumbo stuff.Copy !req
94. Lois, you have projected so much
onto this mystery caller.Copy !req
95. Maybe you should focus on the man
that's right in front of you.Copy !req
96. I can't believe she's not picking up.Copy !req
97. Freeze the girl out, she's gonna give you
a cold shoulder.Copy !req
98. After what happened with Corben,
I stopped calling for her own protection.Copy !req
99. I'm sorry, this is a really bad time
for your PR queen to go MIA.Copy !req
100. She's the only one who can tell the truth.
The Blur's not responsible...Copy !req
101. for the failed drug bust
or the crime boss getting away.Copy !req
102. You need to get to work
on some spin-doctor magic.Copy !req
103. Whoever is posing as the Blur is a genius
at marketing and self-promotion.Copy !req
104. He's co-opted your brand.Copy !req
105. I'm not a brand.Copy !req
106. The Blur has a blog?Copy !req
107. And you Twitter
and you're on Facebook...Copy !req
108. where you have 10,000 friends,
by the way.Copy !req
109. You've come quite a long way since
being scarecrowed in high school.Copy !req
110. Why go through so much trouble
to discredit me?Copy !req
111. Now, here's the hitch.
I think he's actually trying to help you.Copy !req
112. I discovered five messy
but successful saves...Copy !req
113. obviously not done by you.Copy !req
114. And whether this person means well
or not, they need to be stopped...Copy !req
115. before someone gets hurt.Copy !req
116. Pull over by the power station.Copy !req
117. Nice and easy.Copy !req
118. These ladies and I have a date
with destiny.Copy !req
119. Gun it.Copy !req
120. Go!Copy !req
121. Unh!Copy !req
122. Ahh.Copy !req
123. - We did it.
- Did you see that guy's face?Copy !req
124. - Pretty slick, Z.
- Way to go aggro, J.Copy !req
125. Once the police see this, they'll be off
our backs for your cops-in-a-box idea.Copy !req
126. Hey, they were undercover.Copy !req
127. Think we should tie him up?Copy !req
128. He's out cold.
Let's just get some shots to upload.Copy !req
129. Okay.Copy !req
130. What are you doing? You're in the shot.
This is evidence.Copy !req
131. Gotta give props to the man.Copy !req
132. Come on, Zan. Let's fly.Copy !req
133. Whoa.Copy !req
134. Two hours to get here
with the monorail down.Copy !req
135. Chalk another one up
to the blundering Blur.Copy !req
136. He may have stopped a diamond heist
but his blackout has crippled Metropolis.Copy !req
137. And the scavengers
have already started circling.Copy !req
138. No city can function...Copy !req
139. District Attorney Ray Sacks.
My pet research project.Copy !req
140. Since when is a veteran DA
newsworthy?Copy !req
141. Since his Christmas card roster reads
like a Sopranos hit list.Copy !req
142. I call him "Saxophone."
He loves to blow his own horn.Copy !req
143. Susan, I'm not here
because I'm running for mayor.Copy !req
144. I'm here because it's a travesty...Copy !req
145. this city has been brought
to its knees by the Blur.Copy !req
146. But you can't deny the benefits the Blur...Copy !req
147. I can't help but think there's more
to this story than people are seeing.Copy !req
148. I think it's pretty obvious.
The Blur is hitting a quarter-life crisis...Copy !req
149. or his ego has gotten
really supersized.Copy !req
150. And you're sure he didn't try to call you
and explain himself?Copy !req
151. He called. I didn't pick up.Copy !req
152. Since when did you become
the Blur's big defender?Copy !req
153. He doesn't deserve
the silent treatment...Copy !req
154. just because he's been out there
saving people.Copy !req
155. Of course you would say that, Clark.
You're a guy.Copy !req
156. The Blur can't expect me to be
his beck-and-call girl...Copy !req
157. after weeks of no contact.Copy !req
158. That's a frequency test.Copy !req
159. Stand by. Line check.Copy !req
160. I spy with my little eye
a potential witness.Copy !req
161. - I totally tanked this one.
- Don't be so hard on yourself.Copy !req
162. - You're not the one who lost her phone.
- You sure you don't have it?Copy !req
163. I must have dropped it
back at the power plant.Copy !req
164. I know I sort of pulled you into this
but maybe we're just not hero material.Copy !req
165. - It's you, J.
- What?Copy !req
166. This can't be good.Copy !req
167. What if someone's already on to us?
What do we do?Copy !req
168. Time to motor.Copy !req
169. - Powers activate.
- Powers activate.Copy !req
170. Whoa. What the—?Copy !req
171. Where are we?Copy !req
172. How did we even get here?Copy !req
173. - It had to have been the Blur.
- No. Come on, Z, no way.Copy !req
174. Think about it.
Who else could have stopped us?Copy !req
175. - This is the Blur's lair.
- He doesn't have a lair.Copy !req
176. I'm telling you, this tech
is definitely off the grid.Copy !req
177. Wait until I tweet everybody
about this.Copy !req
178. That's not gonna happen.Copy !req
179. Welcome to Watchtower.Copy !req
180. If you chat one word
about what you see in here...Copy !req
181. I will vaporize your Twitter accounts,
Facebook pages...Copy !req
182. every trace of your virtual existence
will be obliterated.Copy !req
183. Holy hacking. You can do that?Copy !req
184. - Our tweets are totally sealed.
- Code of silence. All the way.Copy !req
185. So who are you?Copy !req
186. Oh, it's the Blur's sidekick.Copy !req
187. We don't know that.Copy !req
188. Not exactly.
I'm doing pro bono for the Blur...Copy !req
189. and keeping an eye on you two.Copy !req
190. Wait. You're
not gonna hand us over to the cops?Copy !req
191. We just wanted to help,
fuel the Blur's legend.Copy !req
192. Okay, about the helping.
Right idea, wrong execution.Copy !req
193. I've been where you guys are. I get it.Copy !req
194. You're just mega-fans
who really wanna make a difference.Copy !req
195. But you are single-handedly
destroying what the Blur stands for.Copy !req
196. We know we've made some mistakes.Copy !req
197. How do we make up
for what we've done?Copy !req
198. You just wait for the right moment.
You'll know.Copy !req
199. So the Blur trusts you, right?Copy !req
200. I mean, how do you always know
the right thing to do?Copy !req
201. You don't. And neither does he.Copy !req
202. But you stick around a hero long enough
and you get your share at saving him.Copy !req
203. Sometimes even from himself.Copy !req
204. Oh, man.Copy !req
205. I don't know how old-school journalists
broke a story...Copy !req
206. without breaking somebody's neck.Copy !req
207. Yeah. All right.Copy !req
208. I will never take you for granted again.
I swear.Copy !req
209. I need a heroCopy !req
210. I'm holding out for a hero
Till the end of the nightCopy !req
211. I suppose you were the one
who gave us that reboot.Copy !req
212. In a way, the city going dark
was my fault.Copy !req
213. Least I could do was put things right.Copy !req
214. Just because you threw a few switches
doesn't make up for your bonehead moves.Copy !req
215. Lois...Copy !req
216. I wasn't the one behind the saves.Copy !req
217. The Blur has an imposter nipping
at his heels?Copy !req
218. How did you let that happen?Copy !req
219. It's not that simple.Copy !req
220. They were just misguided fans.Copy !req
221. I'm not turning them over to the DA.Copy !req
222. Without proof, nobody's gonna buy
the "misguided fans" angle.Copy !req
223. You're risking a lot to protect
some feckless meteor freaks.Copy !req
224. Maybe. But doesn't everyone deserve
a second chance?Copy !req
225. Oh, you wanna go there?Copy !req
226. Let me tell you
about second chances, buddy.Copy !req
227. There's a way you treat a woman.
It's called respect.Copy !req
228. How did you end up on the street?Copy !req
229. For a long time now
we've only had each other, so...Copy !req
230. Nobody really bought us
as transfer students from Sweden.Copy !req
231. Whoa, whoa, whoa.Copy !req
232. That taps into cell phone frequencies.
Just don't touch anything, okay?Copy !req
233. Sorry.Copy !req
234. - Just because you're some fancy hero—
- Lois, I tried.Copy !req
235. There is no "try," Skywalker.Copy !req
236. You have super-powers.
Why don't you pick up a phone?Copy !req
237. Lois...Copy !req
238. you're just gonna have to do something...Copy !req
239. you've had trouble with lately.Copy !req
240. You're gonna have to trust me.Copy !req
241. Smallville.Copy !req
242. Last night was a whirlwind
of happy endings...Copy !req
243. as Metropolis' Blur worked overtime
to bring the city...Copy !req
244. out of the darkness
and into the light.Copy !req
245. Lois. I didn't realize you were filling in
for the paperboy.Copy !req
246. Ahem. You look pretty chipper.
Busy night?Copy !req
247. My story about the Blur
made it above the fold.Copy !req
248. I think he'd be pretty happy
that I included his side of the story.Copy !req
249. - So you finally heard from him.
- Yeah.Copy !req
250. Anyway, I've been thinking a lot
about my carbon footprint...Copy !req
251. and I figured, you know,
we could start carpooling.Copy !req
252. I thought, you know, the ride...Copy !req
253. would give us a chance to get past
the whole "kiss and run" of it all...Copy !req
254. and get to know each other better.Copy !req
255. Better?Copy !req
256. You tell me the color of your underwear
every day. What else is there to know?Copy !req
257. I hope you didn't misunderstand
all my Blur-bashing I did yesterday.Copy !req
258. Deep down, I never doubted him.Copy !req
259. I'm sure he'd be happy to learn
that your faith in the Blur never wavered.Copy !req
260. Of course, he never explained
why he didn't call me back.Copy !req
261. Lois, what's going on?Copy !req
262. Okay, look...Copy !req
263. I woke up this morning...Copy !req
264. and I saw things clearly
for the first time.Copy !req
265. In breaking news...Copy !req
266. Metropolis' DA has called out the Blur.Copy !req
267. No one has the right
to take the law into their own hands.Copy !req
268. Not you, not me, not even the Blur.Copy !req
269. Now, because of the damage
he has caused this city...Copy !req
270. I am asking the Blur to come out
of the shadows...Copy !req
271. to stop this vigilante behavior,
and agree to work hand-in-hand...Copy !req
272. with our law enforcement.Copy !req
273. Now, I will be holding a press conference
later this afternoon.Copy !req
274. At that time,
I will ask the Blur to show himself...Copy !req
275. and to take responsibility
for his actions.Copy !req
276. Big news day. I'll have to take
a rain check on the carpooling.Copy !req
277. Okay.Copy !req
278. Dr. Evans—Copy !req
279. I'm going to save you a lot of time
and money, okay?Copy !req
280. It's all your parents' fault.Copy !req
281. Marjorie?Copy !req
282. Oh, she had to take off. Family issues.Copy !req
283. You think you're good
at this head-shrinking stuff...Copy !req
284. but thanks to you,
my head is about to explode...Copy !req
285. and I don't know what to do.Copy !req
286. I focused on the man in my dreams
and now I found out...Copy !req
287. that my mysterious caller and Clark
are the same person.Copy !req
288. - The same?
- Unbelievable.Copy !req
289. Up until today, he couldn't lie his way
out of a speeding ticket...Copy !req
290. and now can hold down
an alter ego?Copy !req
291. Lois, take a step back.Copy !req
292. What do you think is more likely?Copy !req
293. That your mysterious caller and Clark
are the same man...Copy !req
294. or that you're trying to make them
one person...Copy !req
295. in order to create your dream man?Copy !req
296. Okay. They're not that different.Copy !req
297. My mysterious caller
is brave and selfless.Copy !req
298. And so is Clark...Copy !req
299. in his own way.Copy !req
300. I can't believe how difficult this must
have been for him to carry his secret...Copy !req
301. all this time.Copy !req
302. I just wanna tell him
that it doesn't matter to me.Copy !req
303. But maybe coming clean
isn't the best idea either.Copy !req
304. Right now Clark has this really big
decision to make.Copy !req
305. And more than anything...Copy !req
306. I just wanna help.
But I'm not sure how.Copy !req
307. Ha...Copy !req
308. Wait, I know what I have to do.Copy !req
309. Thanks, doc. You're a gem.Copy !req
310. There's gotta be something
to this therapy stuff.Copy !req
311. Clark. Hey.Copy !req
312. The Twittering twosome
have sung their last song.Copy !req
313. As we speak, they're in Watchtower
and taking down the Blur's blog.Copy !req
314. Have you seen today's news?Copy !req
315. Don't tell me you're taking
that blowhard seriously.Copy !req
316. You know he's just gunning
for the mayor's office.Copy !req
317. You are, aren't you? Clark, why?Copy !req
318. The last time you had a coming-out party,
it was a disaster. What changed?Copy !req
319. I've changed.
I'm wearing my father's shield now.Copy !req
320. I've worked hard
to give people hope...Copy !req
321. something that they can believe in,
that will inspire them.Copy !req
322. I am the shield.Copy !req
323. I know you wanna honor your father,
Clark...Copy !req
324. but if you sacrifice yourself,
there is no shield.Copy !req
325. I won't do nothing while the DA drags
down my father's crest...Copy !req
326. and everything it stands for.Copy !req
327. That's exactly what you have to do.
I'm sorry.Copy !req
328. This guy's gonna call you a menace
and a coward...Copy !req
329. and probably a threat to the city...Copy !req
330. and you have to let people believe
his lies.Copy !req
331. Your father lives on through you,
not your shield.Copy !req
332. Ladies and gentlemen...Copy !req
333. District Attorney Sacks.Copy !req
334. Good afternoon.
Thank you all for joining me.Copy !req
335. If you're out there, Blur...Copy !req
336. come.Copy !req
337. Come join me at this very podium...Copy !req
338. and take your place as a role model
in this great city of ours.Copy !req
339. A true hero would not hide.Copy !req
340. He would show himself...Copy !req
341. and take responsibility
for the mistakes he's made.Copy !req
342. Out of my way.Copy !req
343. Excuse me.
Move it or lose it.Copy !req
344. No, it's all right. Let her up.Copy !req
345. Zip it, counselor.Copy !req
346. I'm Lois Lane from the Daily Planet and
I'm here to tell you that I know the Blur.Copy !req
347. It's okay. It's okay.Copy !req
348. The DA says that a true hero
would come forward.Copy !req
349. Well, the Blur can't.Copy !req
350. It's because he knows that the best way
for him to protect you and me...Copy !req
351. is to steer clear
of all of this political hoopla...Copy !req
352. and remain the one thing
that you and I need most...Copy !req
353. a light in the darkness.Copy !req
354. A symbol for us to believe in
when all other hope is lost.Copy !req
355. I've looked into the Blur's heart...Copy !req
356. and I can tell you
that his intentions are good.Copy !req
357. Let the Blur be the hero
he needs to be.Copy !req
358. When you said you had looked into
the Blur's heart...Copy !req
359. I had no idea
how close a relationship you had.Copy !req
360. Not that it's any of your business.Copy !req
361. Oh, the safety of this city
is always my business, young lady.Copy !req
362. Now tell me the true identity
of the Blur...Copy !req
363. and I'll overlook
your annoying antics.Copy !req
364. You talk a good game, counselor...Copy !req
365. but you don't believe a word of it.Copy !req
366. All your shady backroom deals
with organized crime...Copy !req
367. have just come home to roost.Copy !req
368. I've picked out a nice little font
for my exposé:Copy !req
369. "Shady Sacks sucks the city dry."Copy !req
370. Well, well, well.Copy !req
371. I actually had another headline in mind.Copy !req
372. And you're standing right on top of it.Copy !req
373. "The Blur murders Lois Lane."Copy !req
374. Has a nice ring, doesn't it?Copy !req
375. Nobody will ever believe you.Copy !req
376. Honey, when the Blur decided
not to come forward...Copy !req
377. he put the ball back in my court.Copy !req
378. I can make him
whoever I want him to be.Copy !req
379. It just takes a little doubt.Copy !req
380. You don't give people enough credit.Copy !req
381. Why would the Blur suddenly turn
into a murderer?Copy !req
382. Because you just announced
in front of millions of people...Copy !req
383. that you are the only person
who knows his true identity.Copy !req
384. Unh!Copy !req
385. Unh! Oh! You're the one who's hiding in
the shadows, not the Blur, you coward.Copy !req
386. Unfortunately, that's not a story
you're gonna get to write.Copy !req
387. Unh!Copy !req
388. All right, let's get out of here.Copy !req
389. Oh!Copy !req
390. Hey, Clark, you gotta see this.Copy !req
391. And grab a camera.Copy !req
392. I'll have to call you back.Copy !req
393. Hey, there's a woman
hanging from the building.Copy !req
394. Help! Somebody!Copy !req
395. Lois.Copy !req
396. Lois?Copy !req
397. Hold on, I'm coming.Copy !req
398. Clark. Help me.Copy !req
399. - Lois?
- Clark.Copy !req
400. Grab my hand.Copy !req
401. I can't.Copy !req
402. All right, hold on.Copy !req
403. Uh!Copy !req
404. Come on, stretch. You can reach.Copy !req
405. It's too far.Copy !req
406. Aah!Copy !req
407. Lois!Copy !req
408. Hey, J. So, what's going on?Copy !req
409. The Blur's in even deeper
and it's all our fault.Copy !req
410. - Then what are we waiting for?
- We can't ditch Chloe.Copy !req
411. We promised her we'd lay low
till this all blows over.Copy !req
412. She said sometimes you need
to save a hero, even from himself.Copy !req
413. Dad always used to say
we're stronger when we stick together.Copy !req
414. - Powers activate.
- Powers activate.Copy !req
415. Lois, hold on.Copy !req
416. Let me go.Copy !req
417. That's insane, Lois.Copy !req
418. You can't reveal yourself
to the cameras.Copy !req
419. You mean too much to the city.Copy !req
420. To the world.Copy !req
421. Clark...Copy !req
422. I know you've been living two lives and
having to lie to me about it every day.Copy !req
423. Lois, you're not making any sense.Copy !req
424. It's gonna be okay. Just hold on.Copy !req
425. I've always known, deep down,
that you were a hero.Copy !req
426. Lois!Copy !req
427. What?Copy !req
428. All right, let's go.Copy !req
429. Lois.Copy !req
430. You're alive.Copy !req
431. Thank you.Copy !req
432. I'm flattered, Lois.Copy !req
433. I wish I could have been the one
to rescue you...Copy !req
434. but I'm not that fast.
I took the elevator.Copy !req
435. Even after all this
you still can't tell me?Copy !req
436. Just stay here.Copy !req
437. Next time
you take on the DA of Metropolis...Copy !req
438. remember to watch your step.Copy !req
439. - But that was just—
- Hope I made up for not calling.Copy !req
440. Lois, who was that?Copy !req
441. The Blur.Copy !req
442. Yeah, the DA is TKO.Copy !req
443. - The Blur is back on top.
- This makes up for everything.Copy !req
444. I have you to thank for that.Copy !req
445. - Oh, my God.
- It's him.Copy !req
446. I put my shield out there
to inspire people to step up...Copy !req
447. be their own heroes.Copy !req
448. And you did.Copy !req
449. We believe in you, Master B.Copy !req
450. Don't believe in me, believe in the shield
and what it represents.Copy !req
451. Most importantly,
believe in yourselves.Copy !req
452. But we're not the hero, you are.Copy !req
453. That depends on you.Copy !req
454. Metropolis doesn't need
more Blur fans.Copy !req
455. It needs people who are willing to do
exactly what you did today.Copy !req
456. But you do need to be more careful.Copy !req
457. Heroes don't get second chances.Copy !req
458. And people need you to make
life-and-death decisions every day.Copy !req
459. There's no room for mistakes.Copy !req
460. Ever?Copy !req
461. Not when the world is watching.Copy !req
462. I am happy to see
that you're alive, Lois...Copy !req
463. after what I saw
on the nightly news.Copy !req
464. I never would have guessed
that your mysterious caller...Copy !req
465. was none other
than Metropolis' famous Blur.Copy !req
466. I can't believe I was so stupid.Copy !req
467. I must have been crazy to look at Clark
through Blur-colored glasses.Copy !req
468. Lois, you are not crazy.Copy !req
469. That's the point of therapy,
to learn about yourself.Copy !req
470. But just looking at the facts,
what's easier to believe?Copy !req
471. That there was some phone glitch...Copy !req
472. or that the farm guy
who sits across from me every day...Copy !req
473. is a super-powered hero?Copy !req
474. It's perfectly natural, Lois...Copy !req
475. to project the heroics of the
unattainable men you tend to fall for...Copy !req
476. onto someone close to you.Copy !req
477. It would be so much easier
if they were the same person.Copy !req
478. When I heard the Blur's voice again,
something stirred inside of me.Copy !req
479. But my thoughts...Copy !req
480. they keep going back to Clark...Copy !req
481. that scared guy...Copy !req
482. who stepped out onto that ledge
to save me.Copy !req
483. Hey.Copy !req
484. Cheers. For earning
another stripe today.Copy !req
485. Where did you get that?Copy !req
486. The street vendor on the corner.
It also comes in T-shirts and key chains.Copy !req
487. I had to be the first one on the block
to get the superhero swag.Copy !req
488. Next thing you know, your wonder twins
will be a household name.Copy !req
489. Thanks to the fog-and-dog duo,
Sacks is on his way to the slammer.Copy !req
490. With training, they may give the Blur...Copy !req
491. some needed backup
in the halls of justice.Copy !req
492. I guess I have more backup
than I thought.Copy !req
493. How'd you pull off
the whole "Blur impersonation" thing?Copy !req
494. Just your typical sleight-of-ear stuff.
Now you hear it, now you don't.Copy !req
495. Hello, Lois.Copy !req
496. Pay no attention
to the blond behind the curtain.Copy !req
497. Relax, Clark. I'm not exactly
the great and powerful Oz.Copy !req
498. I just created a program where
everything I type in here out comes Blur.Copy !req
499. But how'd you know
when to make the call...Copy !req
500. and how'd you know
what to say to convince Lois?Copy !req
501. I hacked into the security cameras
on the rooftop.Copy !req
502. And I've been monitoring
all cell communication in Metropolis.Copy !req
503. You've been eavesdropping on
my personal calls with Lois, haven't you?Copy !req
504. Chloe, there's keeping a bird's-eye view
and then there's playing Big Brother.Copy !req
505. Easy on the dress-down, Clark, okay?Copy !req
506. If I hadn't, Lois would still be beating
down the "Clark is a superhero" door.Copy !req
507. And believe me, once the bloodhound
Lois is at your door...Copy !req
508. you'd better find a better way
to disguise your superhero scent.Copy !req
509. - Your eyes still closed?
- This isn't what I had in mind...Copy !req
510. when you said you wanted to meet
in the copy room, but hey, I'm open.Copy !req
511. You said I had a secret.
You were right.Copy !req
512. I was dangling 100 stories
above the pavement.Copy !req
513. I think I get a free pass on that one.Copy !req
514. Let's see what you've got.Copy !req
515. I'm a bit nearsighted.Copy !req
516. I've been trying not to wear them.Copy !req
517. They're very...Copy !req
518. Clark Kent.Copy !req
519. I guess you're not the only one
who's a little short-sighted.Copy !req
520. It's just sometimes I feel like
I see a whole other side of you...Copy !req
521. - ... than anyone else.
- Lois?Copy !req
522. It's okay.Copy !req
523. It's my hero complex to resolve.Copy !req
524. I take the nicest guy that I know and
I weigh him down with shining armor.Copy !req
525. And it's not fair.
Nobody can be two different people.Copy !req
526. I wish I could.Copy !req
527. Is this your long-winded way of saying
that you hate these?Copy !req
528. Personally, I don't mind the bump
in your geek factor...Copy !req
529. but, professionally, there are
these newfangled things you can try.Copy !req
530. They're called contacts.Copy !req
531. It means a lot
that you thought I had it in me.Copy !req
532. Don't worry, Smallville...Copy !req
533. I'll only call you "Four Eyes"
every once in a while.Copy !req
534. But just so you're clear on one thing.Copy !req
535. Lois?Copy !req
536. Lois.Copy !req
