1. Dr. Marcus.Copy !req
2. What was so urgent you
needed me here tonight?Copy !req
3. It's Dr. Walden. There's been a complete
normalization of his higher brain functions.Copy !req
4. Considering the source of the trauma,
nothing surprises me.Copy !req
5. You mean the Kawatche caves?Copy !req
6. How does a linguist go into a coma
deciphering a Native American language?Copy !req
7. If you had that answer, doctor,
you'd be running the place.Copy !req
8. The day is coming.
The day is coming. The day is coming!Copy !req
9. Lana.Copy !req
10. It's almost midnight.Copy !req
11. Yeah, I took a chance
you'd still be up.Copy !req
12. You getting a head start
on your term paper?Copy !req
13. I've gotta give the toast
at Lex's rehearsal dinner.Copy !req
14. Makes European history
seem like a breeze.Copy !req
15. - I'm supposed to guess what's in the box?
- No.Copy !req
16. You're supposed to close your eyes.Copy !req
17. Don't peek.Copy !req
18. Okay.Copy !req
19. I know. It's not your birthday
for another seven minutes...Copy !req
20. but I wanted to surprise you.Copy !req
21. You did.Copy !req
22. I get the feeling
it's not in a good way.Copy !req
23. It's just, it's not really
my birthday.Copy !req
24. It's just some date my parents picked off
the calendar for the adoption papers.Copy !req
25. Maybe some of us want to celebrate
the day you came into our lives.Copy !req
26. I never thought of it that way.Copy !req
27. Make a wish.Copy !req
28. I've been wishing for the same
thing ever since I was 5.Copy !req
29. And now?Copy !req
30. And now I don't have to.Copy !req
31. She's standing right here
in front of me.Copy !req
32. - Good morning, Mom.
- How was your birthday party?Copy !req
33. So you're the one who told Lana.Copy !req
34. She knows we're not
big on birthdays...Copy !req
35. but wondered if she
could do something special.Copy !req
36. Thanks.Copy !req
37. I feel bad. We never had parties
when you were little...Copy !req
38. but we were always nervous.
- It's okay, I understand.Copy !req
39. I know...Copy !req
40. but what mother denies her son a
birthday party? It's a part of childhood.Copy !req
41. All the mistakes you made with me,
you can correct with the baby.Copy !req
42. - Wouldn't want to scar the little one too.
- Thanks a lot.Copy !req
43. So, last night?Copy !req
44. - Are you prying?
- Okay, never mind.Copy !req
45. - Hello. Look what the cat dragged in.
- Lex, have you had breakfast?Copy !req
46. Thanks, but I can't stay.Copy !req
47. I just wanted to ask you
and Mr. Kent for a favor.Copy !req
48. I know we've had our differences,
so this might sound strange...Copy !req
49. but it would mean a lot to me.Copy !req
50. It's customary
for the bride and groom to sit...Copy !req
51. with their parents
at the rehearsal dinner...Copy !req
52. so since mine won't be there,
I was wondering...Copy !req
53. would the two of you
consider standing in?Copy !req
54. Lex, we would be honored.Copy !req
55. Great. That just leaves one
open seat at the table.Copy !req
56. Right next to you, Clark.Copy !req
57. Any suggestions?Copy !req
58. Chloe.Copy !req
59. The one name you won't find
on the list...Copy !req
60. for Smallville's biggest event
of the century.Copy !req
61. Don't worry,
it's not like I'm holding out...Copy !req
62. for my fairy godmother
to bring glass slippers.Copy !req
63. I'm still not convinced Lex
won't have me in a headset...Copy !req
64. running around with ice buckets.Copy !req
65. Is this what you were doing until
2:00 in the morning last night?Copy !req
66. Yeah.Copy !req
67. Well, I can't vouch
for my calligraphy skills...Copy !req
68. but if you need any help,
just let me know.Copy !req
69. Hey, you guys.
I'd like a double espresso, please.Copy !req
70. Were you burning
the midnight oil last night too?Copy !req
71. I was just...Copy !req
72. working on a toast
for Lex's dinner.Copy !req
73. Chloe, ready to go?Copy !req
74. - Everybody okay?
- Yeah.Copy !req
75. - Great.
- Perfect.Copy !req
76. Just checking.Copy !req
77. Right. Well...
We better get going.Copy !req
78. I have ashes to sweep
and wicked stepsisters to undermine.Copy !req
79. - You didn't...?
- No.Copy !req
80. I had a really good time last night.Copy !req
81. I was thinking maybe we could go out
after the rehearsal dinner tonight.Copy !req
82. Maybe.Copy !req
83. Lana, is everything okay?Copy !req
84. If this is about last night,
we can take it slow.Copy !req
85. Clark, I think last night
may have been a mistake.Copy !req
86. I'm really busy.
I'll call you later?Copy !req
87. Here's the revised seating chart
for the rehearsal dinner.Copy !req
88. - Who are the people marked in blue?
- Relatives who still talk to each other.Copy !req
89. How about the red?Copy !req
90. Family feuds and people who haven't
spoken in at least five years.Copy !req
91. And the yellow ones
scattered throughout?Copy !req
92. Buffer zones.Copy !req
93. Relatives who have no
particular allegiance...Copy !req
94. and whose conversation
won't incite a riot.Copy !req
95. If this medical career doesn't work out,
you should consider the United Nations.Copy !req
96. - I'm not done yet.
- By the way, put the Kents at our table.Copy !req
97. I asked them to sit with us at the dinner,
fill in for my parents.Copy !req
98. Lex.Copy !req
99. I think it's great that you wanna
make them a big part of this, but...Copy !req
100. But what?Copy !req
101. Don't you think this might be the right
moment to reach out to your father?Copy !req
102. Helen.Copy !req
103. I'm touched that you
want us to reconcile.Copy !req
104. But it's not gonna happen.Copy !req
105. Besides...Copy !req
106. the only family I need is you.Copy !req
107. I don't believe this.Copy !req
108. We should call the police.Copy !req
109. Is anything valuable missing?Copy !req
110. Gosh, I'm sorry to hear that, Helen.Copy !req
111. - They take anything important?
- The vial of blood I drew from Clark.Copy !req
112. Tell me why you
would even still have that.Copy !req
113. I thought I might need it someday,
in case he got sick again.Copy !req
114. It wasn't labeled. There's no way
anyone could connect it to Clark.Copy !req
115. Then why would anybody
wanna steal it?Copy !req
116. It looks like somebody just broke open the
refrigerator and took whatever was inside.Copy !req
117. The police think it may have been
junkies looking for drugs.Copy !req
118. Or maybe somebody who wanted
to make it look that way.Copy !req
119. Are you saying you think
that I staged this?Copy !req
120. We're the only ones who knew
about Clark's blood.Copy !req
121. - And you never told anybody else?
- Of course not.Copy !req
122. Not even the man
you're about to marry?Copy !req
123. Mr. Kent...Copy !req
124. Lex is not the man
you think he is.Copy !req
125. Considering that you're about to spend
the rest of your life with that man...Copy !req
126. and what you know
about my family...Copy !req
127. you had better be right.Copy !req
128. I don't think it's a good idea
that you seat Lana next to me.Copy !req
129. What happened?Copy !req
130. I wish I knew.Copy !req
131. Clark.Copy !req
132. None of us really
understands the fairer sex.Copy !req
133. It's why we're so
captivated by them.Copy !req
134. I went for it last night.Copy !req
135. - Don't tell me she shot you down.
- No.Copy !req
136. It was the opposite.Copy !req
137. It was like this perfect moment,
and then this morning...Copy !req
138. She wanted to pretend
it never happened.Copy !req
139. You've upped the stakes, Clark,
and she's scared.Copy !req
140. She figures if she folds now,
she'll cut her losses.Copy !req
141. We're meant to be together.
I've never been so sure about anything.Copy !req
142. Yeah, well, don't tell me, Clark.Copy !req
143. Tell her.Copy !req
144. - Hey.
- Hey.Copy !req
145. Come on.Copy !req
146. - Lana, last night was a big deal for me.
- Clark.Copy !req
147. Look, you don't have to avoid calling me
if you don't feel the same way.Copy !req
148. No, it meant a lot to me too.Copy !req
149. Everything seemed so clear, but today
it just feels a lot more complicated.Copy !req
150. Is this about Chloe?Copy !req
151. I'd be lying if I said
I wasn't worried about her...Copy !req
152. but there are three friendships at stake
here, and I don't wanna risk losing ours.Copy !req
153. The friendship isn't gonna go anywhere.
It'll just become something better.Copy !req
154. And what happens down the road
if things don't work out?Copy !req
155. - Will our friendship survive that?
- I don't know.Copy !req
156. Lana, I've wanted this for so long,
I think it's worth taking the chance.Copy !req
157. The day is coming.Copy !req
158. Clark?Copy !req
159. Are you all right?Copy !req
160. The day is coming.Copy !req
161. Clark, what is it?Copy !req
162. I'm sorry, I have to go.Copy !req
163. The day is coming.Copy !req
164. The day is coming.
The day is coming.Copy !req
165. - What do you think it means?
- It's probably just delusional rambling.Copy !req
166. But your scans say his
brain activity is normal again.Copy !req
167. The day is coming.Copy !req
168. Does that look normal to you?Copy !req
169. The day is coming.
The day is coming...Copy !req
170. The cataracts, they're gone.Copy !req
171. They faded during
the course of a day.Copy !req
172. - How do you explain that?
- I can't.Copy !req
173. I know you want to see if he says
anything else, but for his own safety...Copy !req
174. I need to sedate him.
- The day is coming! The day is...Copy !req
175. The day is coming.Copy !req
176. I think it says,
"The day is coming."Copy !req
177. - You learned how to read the symbols?
- No, just an educated guess.Copy !req
178. It's what Walden kept
saying before he escaped.Copy !req
179. I wonder how he wrote it.Copy !req
180. Apparently, he's developed the ability to
emit some kind of energy from his hands.Copy !req
181. I think maybe it has something to do with
whatever happened to him in the cave.Copy !req
182. Why are you telling me all this?Copy !req
183. You found him, Clark.Copy !req
184. Just wondering if you could shed
any more light on the situation.Copy !req
185. I've already told you
everything I know.Copy !req
186. These symbols...Copy !req
187. they look like the one on your barn.Copy !req
188. Lex, I told you. I don't know
how to read this language.Copy !req
189. I believe you, Clark.Copy !req
190. Then what am I doing here?Copy !req
191. I thought, based on our
mutual interest in the cave...Copy !req
192. we could solve this mystery together.Copy !req
193. I'm sorry, Lex.
I'm as mystified as you are.Copy !req
194. I know who you are.Copy !req
195. Hey, Helen.Copy !req
196. Are you planning a rehearsal
dinner or a peace summit?Copy !req
197. This whole wedding is starting
to feel just as political.Copy !req
198. It's hard to know
what side everybody's on.Copy !req
199. You're not having
second thoughts, are you?Copy !req
200. Sorry, l...Copy !req
201. - It's all gotten very complicated.
- Sounds kind of familiar.Copy !req
202. You wouldn't be talking about a tall,
dark, handsome best man, would you?Copy !req
203. If you knew that Lex was
keeping secrets from you...Copy !req
204. but he was bElng truthful
about the important things like...Copy !req
205. Like the way he feels about you.Copy !req
206. Would that be enough?Copy !req
207. I guess you have to decide.Copy !req
208. Is the part of themselves that
they're willing to share with you...Copy !req
209. better than not having
them in your life at all?Copy !req
210. You don't really think he's
hidden it in here, do you?Copy !req
211. - I don't know what you're talking about.
- I'm talking about the valuable object...Copy !req
212. Lex stole from your office.Copy !req
213. Lex would never steal from me.Copy !req
214. If you believe that, what are you doing
rummaging around in here while he's out?Copy !req
215. How do I know you didn't
break into my office?Copy !req
216. Oh, my. It seems I've antagonized
the lady of the house.Copy !req
217. Please, would you tell my son
I dropped by to offer my best wishes?Copy !req
218. Oh, no.Copy !req
219. That would be difficult,
wouldn't it?Copy !req
220. Because we'd have to explain
that we ran into each other...Copy !req
221. when we were in here and
I caught you snooping and...Copy !req
222. Oh, that could get really messy.Copy !req
223. Especially with your
wedding day almost upon us.Copy !req
224. Get out.Copy !req
225. Can I ask you a question, Helen?Copy !req
226. Why are you marrying Lex?Copy !req
227. Because I love him.Copy !req
228. Dr. Walden?Copy !req
229. It's me, Clark Kent.Copy !req
230. Dr. Walden.Copy !req
231. Are you down here?Copy !req
232. Interesting, isn't it?Copy !req
233. - Mr. Luthor.
- That...Copy !req
234. octagonal recess
in the wall, I mean.Copy !req
235. I once had what you might call
a keepsake that matched this.Copy !req
236. Exactly.Copy !req
237. Just disappeared from my office.Copy !req
238. It was that same day you rescued
your mother and me.Copy !req
239. What are you doing down here?Copy !req
240. I have taken over
conservatorship of the caves.Copy !req
241. - Didn't Lex tell you?
- No, he didn't.Copy !req
242. He just doesn't want to admit defeat,
and he's still fighting me on this.Copy !req
243. I ran into some of his
security people down here.Copy !req
244. They were looking for that doctor.
Dr...?Copy !req
245. Dr. Walden?Copy !req
246. Dr. Walden was obsessed
with these caves.Copy !req
247. Well, I could understand why.Copy !req
248. Look at this.Copy !req
249. These symbols...Copy !req
250. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
They are...Copy !req
251. Are they arranged in a different...Copy !req
252. order than they were before?Copy !req
253. That's strange.Copy !req
254. Don't you think, Clark?Copy !req
255. It's all Kawatche to me.Copy !req
256. If you see Dr. Walden, be careful.Copy !req
257. He could be dangerous.Copy !req
258. I don't get it.Copy !req
259. First the refined kryptonite,
now the caves.Copy !req
260. What does Luthor want?Copy !req
261. I don't know, but I think
we have a bigger problem.Copy !req
262. Dr. Walden can read Krypton language.
He wrote it on the cElling at the hospital.Copy !req
263. - You think he's figured out your secret?
- Is that why you're so worried now?Copy !req
264. I'm not sure, but something's
going on in that cave.Copy !req
265. The symbols have changed.Copy !req
266. - What does it say now, son?
- "The day is coming...Copy !req
267. when the last son will begin
his quest to rule the third planet."Copy !req
268. - Clark.
- Don't you see? I'm the last son.Copy !req
269. Why humiliate yourself
like this, Dad?Copy !req
270. When are you gonna accept
the fact that you're not invited?Copy !req
271. You know, Lex, I'm not here to grovel
for a place at your table.Copy !req
272. I wanted to tell you that...Copy !req
273. your restraining order to keep me out of
the Kawatche caves has been rejected.Copy !req
274. Flat out.Copy !req
275. And you couldn't have had your lawyers
tell my lawyers that over the phone?Copy !req
276. It's curious, though...Copy !req
277. your renewed interest seems to come
right on the heels of Dr. Walden's escape.Copy !req
278. And Clark Kent seems
to share your opinion.Copy !req
279. He was down there too,
looking for your linguist.Copy !req
280. Lex!Copy !req
281. - I did it, Lex.
- Dr. Walden.Copy !req
282. I finally read the wall.Copy !req
283. I know what it says.Copy !req
284. We'll talk all about it,
but first we need to get you help.Copy !req
285. - Let the man tell us.
- Stay out of this.Copy !req
286. The wall, doctor,
what does it say?Copy !req
287. "The last son will rule the planet."Copy !req
288. Don't you see?Copy !req
289. It's Clark Kent!Copy !req
290. - I think that's a pretty big leap.
- No.Copy !req
291. I've never seen
more clearly in my life.Copy !req
292. - I know exactly what has to be done.
- What is that, doctor?Copy !req
293. We have to kill Clark Kent.Copy !req
294. Before he destroys us all.Copy !req
295. Dr. Walden, you're confused.Copy !req
296. "Dear guests..."Copy !req
297. No, it's gotta be something else.Copy !req
298. "Friend..."
"Friends and family..."Copy !req
299. First line's always the hardest.Copy !req
300. - Hey, Chloe, what's up?
- Big news.Copy !req
301. Your friend Dr. Walden woke up.Copy !req
302. I wouldn't exactly call him
a friend of mine.Copy !req
303. I was just wondering if you wanted
to come out of retirement...Copy !req
304. and do the story with me.Copy !req
305. Hey, I appreciate the offer,
but now really isn't a good time.Copy !req
306. I didn't mean right this second, Clark.Copy !req
307. I wish things could be like they were.Copy !req
308. Yeah, me too.Copy !req
309. I just feel like there's this
huge rift between us...Copy !req
310. and no matter how hard I try,
I can't get back to you.Copy !req
311. We'll get there, Chloe.
It's just gonna take a little bit of time.Copy !req
312. Well, whatever happens,
let's just...Copy !req
313. Let's promise to be
honest with each other.Copy !req
314. I mean, you're a big boy, I'm a big girl.
I think we can handle it.Copy !req
315. As long as we tell the truth.Copy !req
316. Okay, well, I'd better get going.Copy !req
317. You have your rehearsal dinner,
and I have the Torch. So...Copy !req
318. Break a leg, Clark.Copy !req
319. Sorry I'm late.Copy !req
320. - Where have you been?
- Business crisis.Copy !req
321. Don't worry, I'm all yours now.Copy !req
322. I need a moment
with the best man.Copy !req
323. Okay.Copy !req
324. - Hello, Mrs. Kent.
- Everything is beautiful.Copy !req
325. Thank you. Thank you very much.Copy !req
326. - Hello, Lex.
- Hey.Copy !req
327. - Mind if I have a word with your son?
- No, go right ahead.Copy !req
328. - Is everything all right?
- Dr. Walden paid me a visit.Copy !req
329. Nobody was hurt.Copy !req
330. He's on his way back to the hospital.Copy !req
331. - Well, that's good news.
- Clark, he was ranting about you.Copy !req
332. - What'd he say?
- That the writing on the cave wall says...Copy !req
333. you're going to rule the world.Copy !req
334. I'm gonna rule the world?Copy !req
335. - He's obviously nuts.
- Of course he is.Copy !req
336. Unfortunately, my father was there.
He heard the whole thing.Copy !req
337. He didn't believe him, did he?Copy !req
338. He quoted one of his
favorite Elizabethan poets.Copy !req
339. Twixt truth and madness lies
But a sliver of a streamCopy !req
340. He's not just gonna let this drop.Copy !req
341. I thought I'd warn you.Copy !req
342. I certainly do admire
your work ethic, Miss Sullivan.Copy !req
343. - Late at night, here you are, still at it.
- Yeah.Copy !req
344. Well, I wasn't invited
to the rehearsal dinner, so...Copy !req
345. Yes, we have a lot in common.Copy !req
346. I spoke to the managing editor
of the Daily Planet. It's all set.Copy !req
347. A weekly column on current affairs
from the young person's perspective.Copy !req
348. I don't know how to thank you.Copy !req
349. Nurturing a promising
young talent is a reward in itself.Copy !req
350. And I've got your first assignment.Copy !req
351. A complete investigative
profile of Clark Kent.Copy !req
352. What possible interest could the Daily
Planet have in a farm boy from Smallville?Copy !req
353. This isn't for the Daily Planet. They'll
be in touch with you. No, this is for me.Copy !req
354. Just combine it with any research
about his family you already have.Copy !req
355. I blew off my journalistic skepticism...Copy !req
356. and allowed myself
to actually believe...Copy !req
357. that you were interested
in just helping me.Copy !req
358. You're playing in the real world now,
Miss Sullivan.Copy !req
359. You have to give to get.Copy !req
360. Mr. Luthor. I don't know
what your interest is in Clark...Copy !req
361. but you can take the offer and shove
it down your thousand-dollar pants.Copy !req
362. Clark's very lucky
to have a friend like you.Copy !req
363. All that integrity.Copy !req
364. I wonder, though, if he had to make
a choice, would he sacrifice his dream...Copy !req
365. out of loyalty to you?Copy !req
366. Any change?Copy !req
367. No, he'll be out for hours.Copy !req
368. Can I have everyone's
attention, please?Copy !req
369. I think Lex picked me to be
the best man because he knew...Copy !req
370. how comfortable I was
speaking in front of people.Copy !req
371. I've been looking through every book
from Socrates to Shakespeare...Copy !req
372. trying to find someone
who can put into words the way...Copy !req
373. Lex and Helen
feel about each other.Copy !req
374. But what I realized is,
there are no words for it.Copy !req
375. That when you have it,
you trust it.Copy !req
376. You believe in it.Copy !req
377. Take a chance on it.Copy !req
378. You're willing to sacrifice
anything to keep it.Copy !req
379. No matter what the cost.Copy !req
380. - To Helen and Lex.
- To Helen and Lex.Copy !req
381. Thanks.Copy !req
382. - Clark, are you all right?
- Yeah...Copy !req
