1. Nothing says school spirit like a ring that
looks like it's from P. Diddy.Copy !req
2. - I think it looks great.
- I think we'll be lucky...Copy !req
3. if the glue holds through graduation.Copy !req
4. I wonder if the ruby's even real.Copy !req
5. You sure you're gonna do this?Copy !req
6. I'm here, aren't I?Copy !req
7. - What?
- I believe your dad's exact words were:Copy !req
8. "Three hundred and fifty dollars is a lot
to spend on something you don't need."Copy !req
9. I earned that money. Besides,
Dad said it was my decision to make.Copy !req
10. Which means that you're really not
supposed to buy it.Copy !req
11. I know the first day
at a new school can be rough...Copy !req
12. so if you have questions, just ask.Copy !req
13. So, what do you Crows do for fun?Copy !req
14. Between the tractor-pulls
and the hoedowns.Copy !req
15. - There's the Talon.
- Which is...?Copy !req
16. A coffeehouse,
and a really cool place to hang out.Copy !req
17. But I'm kind of biased,
because I sort of own it.Copy !req
18. Gee, I'll have to check it out.Copy !req
19. Whoa. Who is the major hottie
in primary colors?Copy !req
20. That's Clark Kent.Copy !req
21. No offense, Lana, but maybe
I could get him to show me around.Copy !req
22. You feeling all right?Copy !req
23. Yeah, I feel great.Copy !req
24. Excuse me.Copy !req
25. It's Jessie, isn't it?Copy !req
26. Perhaps Ms. Lang didn't tell you...Copy !req
27. but there's a dress code here
at Smallville High.Copy !req
28. Lame and lamer?Copy !req
29. You think that's funny, Mr. Kent?Copy !req
30. By the way, I'm not changing.Copy !req
31. Well, perhaps you'd like
to discuss your attitude in my office.Copy !req
32. Excuse me, Mr. Gibbons?Copy !req
33. I think she looks really hot,
and I think that your dress code sucks.Copy !req
34. Excuse me?Copy !req
35. I mean, come on.
It's her first day, cut her some slack.Copy !req
36. Besides, I don't think you
should be the one giving fashion tips.Copy !req
37. Tomorrow, young lady, proper attire
or you're going straight home.Copy !req
38. I guess we can finish our tour.Copy !req
39. Where did that come from?Copy !req
40. I don't know...Copy !req
41. but I think I liked it.Copy !req
42. I'm telling you, man,
I don't know where she is.Copy !req
43. Look, Kyle...Copy !req
44. I know that you want
to do the right thing...Copy !req
45. but Jessie and her father are fugitives
now. It's my job to bring them in.Copy !req
46. What kind of U.S. Marshal are you,
anyways?Copy !req
47. The kind that gets results.Copy !req
48. - Okay.
- Okay? Okay, what?Copy !req
49. I've heard from her once or twice.Copy !req
50. She called me collect
from someplace in Kansas.Copy !req
51. Where in Kansas? It's a big state.Copy !req
52. All over. They were from pay phones.Copy !req
53. Check my phone bill. That's all I know.Copy !req
54. You have to believe me.Copy !req
55. Relax.Copy !req
56. I believe you.Copy !req
57. So you'll let me go now?Copy !req
58. Oh, I would, but Jessie might call.Copy !req
59. And you might decide to warn her.Copy !req
60. So this is what I was talking about.Copy !req
61. It's right over the county line,
and they don't check IDs.Copy !req
62. Dude, this is like a bar.Copy !req
63. I know. You're the one who says if you
wanna have fun, you gotta take risks.Copy !req
64. We can go this weekend.Copy !req
65. The day Clark Kent decides
to break rules, I'll be there.Copy !req
66. - All right.
- Clark, right?Copy !req
67. Jessie Brooks. That place rocks.
I checked it out on my way into town.Copy !req
68. - Are you planning a road trip?
- If we do, I'll let you know.Copy !req
69. You'll need to know
how to get in touch with me.Copy !req
70. In case you require a translation,
that was her hitting on you.Copy !req
71. She is kind of hot.Copy !req
72. Aren't you married to Lana
in your imagination?Copy !req
73. Clark! You and Jessie
seem to be making fast friends.Copy !req
74. Just trying to make
the new girl feel welcome.Copy !req
75. Don't worry, Lana,
I haven't taken my eye off you all day.Copy !req
76. So we still on for that cram session
tonight at the Talon?Copy !req
77. If you're still gonna be there,
absolutely.Copy !req
78. I'll be there.Copy !req
79. So soon as you get this shined
to your liking, I get the first ride.Copy !req
80. Yep, and all the others
can just take a number.Copy !req
81. Hey, where's Clark? He's really late.Copy !req
82. Looking for me?Copy !req
83. Yeah. Weren't you supposed to be here
with me, working on the garage door?Copy !req
84. Dad, that'll take, like, two seconds.Copy !req
85. And I thought we agreed
you weren't gonna buy that ring.Copy !req
86. I thought we decided
it was my decision to make.Copy !req
87. That's because I assumed
that you would make the right one.Copy !req
88. Clark, that ring costs a lot of money.Copy !req
89. And I'm tired of worrying
about every nickel and dime.Copy !req
90. Clark, why don't you go wash up
for dinner.Copy !req
91. I'm not hungry.
Besides, I have chores to do.Copy !req
92. What was that all about?Copy !req
93. I think our not-so-normal son
might be going through...Copy !req
94. some classic teenage rebellion.Copy !req
95. Well, I think I liked dealing
with heat vision a lot better than that.Copy !req
96. - That was a bad decision he made.
- But it was his to make.Copy !req
97. I seem to recall a certain young man
who defied his father...Copy !req
98. and spent $500 on an old motorcycle.Copy !req
99. Challenging him is only gonna
make it worse.Copy !req
100. When I got up this morning,
I was pretty sure this was my office.Copy !req
101. Lex! I thought you wouldn't mind
if I had a few changes made...Copy !req
102. since I'm gonna be here a while.
Go on.Copy !req
103. What I mind is not being consulted.Copy !req
104. I didn't realize I'd need
my son's permission to try to make my...Copy !req
105. situation here a trifle more bearable.Copy !req
106. I've lost my sight.
Allow me at least a modicum of dignity.Copy !req
107. Give him whatever he wants.Copy !req
108. - Barkeep, I'm looking for a girl.
- Aren't we all?Copy !req
109. The girl in this photo
used that phone over there.Copy !req
110. Any crime in that?Copy !req
111. No, but she is a teenager...Copy !req
112. and we both know the
legal drinking age in Kansas is 21.Copy !req
113. If she comes back in, you call me.Copy !req
114. The number's on the back.Copy !req
115. I think we should start in the middle...Copy !req
116. Hey, Clark, glad you made it. We're just
doing American history, the Red Scare.Copy !req
117. Hey, can we do that tomorrow?Copy !req
118. - Why, is something wrong?
- No, it...Copy !req
119. It's really nice out tonight.
Let's go for a drive, go dancing.Copy !req
120. Are you asking me on a date?Copy !req
121. I'm asking you
to have some fun with me.Copy !req
122. This is a little unexpected,
to say the least.Copy !req
123. But we really have to study.Copy !req
124. Did you know when you get all serious,
your nose crinkles up?Copy !req
125. It's really sexy.Copy !req
126. Pete and Chloe are waiting for us.Copy !req
127. - Well, let me use your sheet.
- Yeah. Maybe we should check...Copy !req
128. What did you get for number five?Copy !req
129. Hey, man.Copy !req
130. Where are your books?Copy !req
131. You guys want to go to a bar?Copy !req
132. You can commit academic hara-kiri, but
the rest of us need to cram for this test.Copy !req
133. You guys,
high school's supposed to be fun.Copy !req
134. This is not fun.Copy !req
135. - Come on, my treat.
- When did you and the money truck meet?Copy !req
136. Since I decided there's no percentage
in playing poverty.Copy !req
137. I'm gonna get a refill.
I'm gonna get you some decaf.Copy !req
138. Here, I'll give you a hand.Copy !req
139. Yeah, I have never...Copy !req
140. Did you know that Chloe
had a birthmark on her cheek?Copy !req
141. - No, she doesn't.
- Not that cheek.Copy !req
142. Are you doing what I think you're doing?Copy !req
143. - Clark, that's Chloe you're scoping, man.
- Not just Chloe.Copy !req
144. - Come on, let's go have some fun.
- Clark, this test is half our grade.Copy !req
145. If you want to party this weekend, I'm
there, but right now, I need to do this.Copy !req
146. All right. Well, when you're through with
Boring 101, give me a call.Copy !req
147. You're kidding.Copy !req
148. Thank you.Copy !req
149. What's wrong?Copy !req
150. That was the credit card company.
They were...Copy !req
151. calling to verify some charges that
were made on our card? Last night?Copy !req
152. When did we get a satellite dish?Copy !req
153. This is silk!Copy !req
154. - Clark!
- Clark! Where did you get all this?Copy !req
155. Discount Eddie's in Metropolis.
Open all night!Copy !req
156. You mean to tell...Copy !req
157. You mean you took our credit cards
and you bought all this...?Copy !req
158. - You bought all this junk?
- Yeah.Copy !req
159. I figured it was time I had
the cool stuff everyone else has.Copy !req
160. Clark Kent, you stole from us.Copy !req
161. No. I used your credit cards.Copy !req
162. What's the big deal?
We don't have to pay for it right away.Copy !req
163. Well, I'll tell you the big deal...Copy !req
164. the big deal is, you're gonna take all
this garbage back right now. Come on!Copy !req
165. - Yeah, right.
- Yeah, right.Copy !req
166. After you've taken this garbage back...Copy !req
167. we're gonna have a conversation
about this new attitude you've developed.Copy !req
168. Well, Dad, you can talk all you want.
I'm out of here.Copy !req
169. Clark! Clark, come back here!Copy !req
170. You're not going to school
dressed like that.Copy !req
171. Okay. Then I just won't go.Copy !req
172. Jessie, please, you're a smart girl.Copy !req
173. You know we can't afford
to draw attention to ourselves.Copy !req
174. Need a ride?Copy !req
175. Clark?Copy !req
176. Jessie.Copy !req
177. - My hero.
- Jessie, I need you to...Copy !req
178. Okay, what planet is that guy from
and what did he do with Clark?Copy !req
179. Well, Clark...Copy !req
180. thanks for the ride.Copy !req
181. Anytime.Copy !req
182. So much for the shy
and retiring Clark Kent.Copy !req
183. I was just giving her a ride to school.Copy !req
184. Say the word and
I'll save you the return trip.Copy !req
185. Catch up with you later.Copy !req
186. Clark Kent, chick magnet.
What's wrong with this picture?Copy !req
187. People change, Pete.Copy !req
188. - Clark, I'd like a word with you, please.
- Not right now, Dad.Copy !req
189. - Get in the truck, son.
- Give me one good reason why I should.Copy !req
190. Because I am your father,
and I just told you to get in the truck.Copy !req
191. You're not my father.Copy !req
192. You never were.Copy !req
193. You all right, sir?Copy !req
194. Here you go.Copy !req
195. - I can't believe Clark would do that.
- It's like he's a whole different person.Copy !req
196. - How are we gonna get him home?
- I don't know.Copy !req
197. Fact is, if he doesn't wanna come home,
there isn't much either one of us can do.Copy !req
198. Here, I'll take it. I'll get that.Copy !req
199. Takes your whole teenage-rebellion
theory to a new level.Copy !req
200. This is more than teenage rebellion.Copy !req
201. A change this drastic
doesn't happen overnight.Copy !req
202. Martha, it's Clark.Copy !req
203. All of his other abilities
cropped up overnight.Copy !req
204. Do you think this is part
of his development?Copy !req
205. I don't know.
But from what he said...Copy !req
206. I guess those feelings have been
boiling up for a while.Copy !req
207. No, Jonathan, Clark loves you.Copy !req
208. But there's something
seriously wrong with him.Copy !req
209. I don't think another father-and-son talk
is gonna help this time.Copy !req
210. Maybe Pete can help.Copy !req
211. They're always together.Copy !req
212. We should find out if he has any idea
what's causing Clark's behavior.Copy !req
213. Well, we've gotta do something.Copy !req
214. Lana, we need to talk.Copy !req
215. Clark, please, I really need
to get these orders done.Copy !req
216. Your coffee can wait.Copy !req
217. I got the impression that you were
jealous when you saw me with Jessie.Copy !req
218. Don't be ridiculous. You can spend time
with anyone you want.Copy !req
219. Don't get me wrong.
I was happy you were jealous.Copy !req
220. Clark, what is going on with you?Copy !req
221. I've decided to tell you the truth, Lana.Copy !req
222. About...?Copy !req
223. - About everything?
- Try me.Copy !req
224. What do you want to know?Copy !req
225. For starters, how about what
happened the day the twisters hit?Copy !req
226. We'll get there.Copy !req
227. But right now we should concentrate
on more important things, like...Copy !req
228. I've had feelings for you
for a long time...Copy !req
229. and I know that
you've had feelings for me too.Copy !req
230. So I think we should stop pretending.Copy !req
231. So, what?
Is this supposed to be some...Copy !req
232. all-new Clark Kent?
- Well, that depends.Copy !req
233. Do you like him?Copy !req
234. Clark, l...Copy !req
235. What about Jessie?Copy !req
236. Jessie who?Copy !req
237. You're the one I want to be with.Copy !req
238. I'll pick you up at 8.Copy !req
239. Pete, you are not gonna believe
what I found out.Copy !req
240. Our "el cheapo" class rings are,
in fact, fake.Copy !req
241. Chloe, there's something wrong
with Clark.Copy !req
242. More than usual?Copy !req
243. Last night at the Talon,
the motorcycle...Copy !req
244. other stuff.
- What kind of other stuff?Copy !req
245. The kind that has
Mr. And Mrs. Kent calling my house.Copy !req
246. They're worried.
It's, like, they think he's on drugs.Copy !req
247. Clark would have to be on drugs
to be on drugs.Copy !req
248. Just be careful with that.Copy !req
249. - What is it, anyway?
- My exposé.Copy !req
250. See this lovely $350 piece of
school spirit? It's a rip-off.Copy !req
251. The jewelry company was substituting
worthless meteor rocks for rubies...Copy !req
252. to save money.
- Chloe...Copy !req
253. rings, red. Meteor rocks, green.Copy !req
254. Not the load they found near
Hobbs Pond. Note the red vein.Copy !req
255. You can read all about it
on page one of today's Torch.Copy !req
256. Pete.Copy !req
257. Chloe's gonna force a recall
because the rings are made from this.Copy !req
258. - You think that's causing his behavior?
- Well, that's when it started.Copy !req
259. Right after he slipped on the ring.Copy !req
260. If the green meteor rocks
affect Clark physically...Copy !req
261. maybe the red affects him emotionally.Copy !req
262. That explains his personality changes.Copy !req
263. The longer he's exposed to the green,
the worse he gets.Copy !req
264. If the same is true with the red,
God help us.Copy !req
265. - We're gonna find him and get that ring.
- How are we gonna do that?Copy !req
266. Like you said, if he doesn't
wanna do something, we can't force it.Copy !req
267. Sweetheart, I don't know,
but we have to figure out a way.Copy !req
268. I came to shoot some pool, but it looks
like this establishment's been closed.Copy !req
269. My father's presence
has required certain sacrifices.Copy !req
270. - Why don't you throw him out?
- Clark...Copy !req
271. it's not like the thought
hasn't occurred to me, but...Copy !req
272. his blindness changes the situation.Copy !req
273. Just because your father has a problem
doesn't mean he needs to ruin your life.Copy !req
274. I wasn't aware a $2000 coat
came with a backbone.Copy !req
275. What's going on?Copy !req
276. I'd like to borrow the Ferrari.
Got a hot date tonight, and I wanna...Copy !req
277. rock her world.Copy !req
278. "Rock her world"?Copy !req
279. So, Lana at last.Copy !req
280. Like you said, a man needs
to know when to make his move.Copy !req
281. I'm glad you're finally
acting on your feelings, but...Copy !req
282. Lana's never struck me as a girl
to be impressed by a Ferrari.Copy !req
283. Fast cars...Copy !req
284. fancy home and a ton of money
never hurt you, did it?Copy !req
285. Come on, I just
want to make tonight special.Copy !req
286. I don't know. It's a very expensive
piece of machinery, difficult to handle.Copy !req
287. It's not like I'm going to...Copy !req
288. drive it off a bridge.Copy !req
289. All you have to ask yourself is...Copy !req
290. who's more responsible
than Clark Kent?Copy !req
291. This place is great!Copy !req
292. I guess. Not exactly
what I was expecting.Copy !req
293. What are you looking at?Copy !req
294. Clark, I'm fine.Copy !req
295. I'm fine.Copy !req
296. - Want a beer?
- What?Copy !req
297. - Do you want a beer?
- No! And since when do you drink?Copy !req
298. If you don't wanna drink, let's dance.Copy !req
299. Clark, this place isn't us.
Let's go somewhere else and talk.Copy !req
300. I'll take that dance, Clark.Copy !req
301. - Whoa!
- I took your advice, Lana...Copy !req
302. and checked out the Talon.
- Yeah?Copy !req
303. Yeah, that's why
I decided to come here.Copy !req
304. - Clark, come on. Let's go.
- One dance.Copy !req
305. Lana, I'll be right back.Copy !req
306. - So do you like living in Smallville?
- It's the only place I ever lived.Copy !req
307. Well, there's a big, bad world out there.
The right person ought to show you.Copy !req
308. Anyone in mind?Copy !req
309. I'm leaving.Copy !req
310. Lana, we just got here.Copy !req
311. Why don't you go get us some drinks.
We'll all have a good time.Copy !req
312. You're unbelievable!
What happened to telling the truth?Copy !req
313. What happened to
"Spend time with whoever you want"?Copy !req
314. - Is that the way you want it?
- There's enough of me to go around.Copy !req
315. - Lana...
- Is there a problem here?Copy !req
316. Not anymore.Copy !req
317. I'd let the lady go if I were you.Copy !req
318. - You're going down, smart guy.
- I don't think so.Copy !req
319. Oh, God!Copy !req
320. - Oh, God!
- Help him!Copy !req
321. Anybody else?Copy !req
322. I can't be here when the cops get here.Copy !req
323. Yeah, let's go pack our bags, see that
big, bad world you were talking about.Copy !req
324. Let it go, man! Let it go!Copy !req
325. Where were you all night?
We looked everywhere.Copy !req
326. Last night was the best night of my life.Copy !req
327. - We want to help you.
- Help me?Copy !req
328. Help me what? Stay here on the farm?Copy !req
329. Doing chores, wasting my life
for a $20-a-week allowance?Copy !req
330. Clark, I wish you could hear yourself for
just a minute. There's something very...Copy !req
331. very wrong with you. It's that ring.Copy !req
332. You're still upset about me
buying this stupid thing.Copy !req
333. How pathetic.Copy !req
334. Clark.Copy !req
335. You really don't want to touch me.Copy !req
336. Why don't you just hand it to me, then.Copy !req
337. Clark, it isn't the ring itself. Chloe found
out it's made out of red meteor rock.Copy !req
338. You know how the green rock
makes you sick?Copy !req
339. Well, we think the red rock
is affecting your mind.Copy !req
340. It's changed your personality, Clark.Copy !req
341. So everything I've been doing and saying
is because of this?Copy !req
342. That's right. That's why you gotta
take that thing off right away.Copy !req
343. Take it off?
I just wish I would have found it sooner.Copy !req
344. If you guys wanna
waste your life in this mudhole...Copy !req
345. that's your problem.
I'm through being poor.Copy !req
346. We might not have
all the things that other people have.Copy !req
347. - I didn't think our family was about that.
- With my abilities, I can make millions.Copy !req
348. Sports, TV, it's all waiting for me.Copy !req
349. You're the ones who
force me to hide who I am.Copy !req
350. No. We are the ones
who have been trying to protect you.Copy !req
351. We don't want anybody
taking you away.Copy !req
352. Protecting me? Using me.Copy !req
353. I'm just another piece of equipment
to keep your farm going.Copy !req
354. That's all gonna change.Copy !req
355. Lex, if it's all right, I'm gonna
keep the Ferrari a bit longer.Copy !req
356. - I'll send it back when I get set up.
- Slow down. Clark, what's going on?Copy !req
357. I left home.Copy !req
358. What happened?
You have a fight with your folks?Copy !req
359. My parents don't understand me.Copy !req
360. The truth is, there's nothing left
for me in Smallville.Copy !req
361. What about Lana?Copy !req
362. She's old news.
I got a new girl, Jessie.Copy !req
363. Kind of sudden, isn't it?Copy !req
364. You're the one always telling me
to find my destiny.Copy !req
365. Well, one thing's for certain,
it's not here in Kansas.Copy !req
366. So you've just packed
your stuff and you're off.Copy !req
367. You have no idea what I'm capable of.Copy !req
368. Really?Copy !req
369. Why don't you fill me in.Copy !req
370. Let's just say that when I'm through
showing the world what I can do...Copy !req
371. I'll have everything I've ever wanted.
I may be even richer than you.Copy !req
372. Maybe you're right
to get away from your folks.Copy !req
373. Maybe I should do the same.Copy !req
374. If my father wants
the mansion so much...Copy !req
375. he can have it.Copy !req
376. - I never wanted to live in Smallville.
- You can come with me.Copy !req
377. Nobody's using
the penthouse in Metropolis.Copy !req
378. Clark Kent and Lex Luthor.Copy !req
379. I like the sound of that.Copy !req
380. Let me just tie up
some loose ends at the office.Copy !req
381. Make yourself at home. I'll be right back.Copy !req
382. - Hey.
- Hey.Copy !req
383. So I heard from a source that you had
a big date with Clark last night.Copy !req
384. Wouldn't call it a date when the guy
you went with leaves with someone else.Copy !req
385. Wow. You just went
from the gossip column to page one.Copy !req
386. Sorry, sometimes my
"glib-o-meter" goes into overdrive.Copy !req
387. No. I guess...
You know, he's so secretive.Copy !req
388. I guess I was thrown for a loop...Copy !req
389. by a Clark who could say all the things
that the old Clark couldn't.Copy !req
390. Well, welcome to the conundrum
that is Clark Kent.Copy !req
391. Part knight in shining armor,
part "Where did that come from?"Copy !req
392. Miss?Copy !req
393. - Can I get a refill here?
- Yeah. Yeah, just a second.Copy !req
394. Thanks.Copy !req
395. Here you go.Copy !req
396. Louise.Copy !req
397. Did you get an owner and an address
on the license plate I asked you to run?Copy !req
398. Of course I know who he is.Copy !req
399. Thanks. You're an angel.Copy !req
400. Are you sure this is the right thing to do?Copy !req
401. Pete, Clark would not listen to reason.
We don't have much of a choice here.Copy !req
402. There's only one way
to stop the unstoppable.Copy !req
403. - Yeah...
- Excuse me.Copy !req
404. Mr. Kent.Copy !req
405. Pete, why don't you...
Why don't you get going.Copy !req
406. Lex, this is really not a very good time.Copy !req
407. I understand you and Clark
have been having problems.Copy !req
408. I don't wanna be rude, but I'd prefer it if
you'd stay out of my family's problems.Copy !req
409. Believe me, Mr. Kent,
I'm not trying to pry, but...Copy !req
410. Clark's my friend.Copy !req
411. I'd hate to see
your relationship fall apart.Copy !req
412. I appreciate your concern...Copy !req
413. but Clark and I can work this out.Copy !req
414. Then why is Clark hiding out
at the mansion?Copy !req
415. Lex?Copy !req
416. Is that you?Copy !req
417. Hey!Copy !req
418. Whoa, hey!Copy !req
419. What do you want?Copy !req
420. Lionel, go back to your room.Copy !req
421. Better yet, pack your bags
and get the hell out.Copy !req
422. I beg your pardon?Copy !req
423. Lex may be too afraid to tell you,
but I'm not.Copy !req
424. No one in Smallville wants you here.Copy !req
425. You seem to know a lot about me.
You got a name?Copy !req
426. - Clark Kent.
- Jonathan and Martha Kent's son?Copy !req
427. As far as I know, they're good people.
I'm astonished they've raised...Copy !req
428. such a blatantly aggressive offspring.Copy !req
429. If you like them so much,
I'm sure they'll put you up.Copy !req
430. I hear they have a spare bedroom,
and I know they could use the cash.Copy !req
431. You've got a lot to learn about tact,
young man, but you speak your mind.Copy !req
432. That's good. It'll take you far.Copy !req
433. I'm going to the top.Copy !req
434. - Mr. Luthor?
- Yes.Copy !req
435. I apologize for the interruption. I'm
a federal marshal. Your people let me in.Copy !req
436. What can I do for you?Copy !req
437. He was seen last night leaving the scene
of a disturbance in your son's Ferrari.Copy !req
438. Was that while you were
on your way to the top, Clark?Copy !req
439. Where can I find this girl?Copy !req
440. I've never seen her before.Copy !req
441. Is that supposed to scare me?Copy !req
442. How'd you do that?Copy !req
443. You've got no idea
who you're dealing with.Copy !req
444. What's happening?Copy !req
445. - Who's shooting?
- Don't worry, Lionel...Copy !req
446. he missed.Copy !req
447. I'll call security.Copy !req
448. Why are you looking for Jessie?Copy !req
449. It's not her, it's her father. They were
witness protection. They rabbited.Copy !req
450. - Why?
- He's a corporate whistle-blower.Copy !req
451. His former employer offered me
a million dollars if I could get evidence.Copy !req
452. What kind of evidence?Copy !req
453. Computer disks, accounting files,
memos, endless smoking guns.Copy !req
454. Look, we can split it. It's enough money
to start a whole new life.Copy !req
455. That's a great idea...Copy !req
456. but who needs you?Copy !req
457. Thought you forgot about me.
Ready to go?Copy !req
458. Almost.Copy !req
459. I know about your father,
Jessie, and the disks.Copy !req
460. We're not going
anywhere until I have them.Copy !req
461. I don't understand.
Why are you doing this?Copy !req
462. The money.Copy !req
463. You said you wanted
to leave this town...Copy !req
464. and a million dollars is more than
enough money to make a fresh start.Copy !req
465. If I give you those disks,
my dad is a dead man.Copy !req
466. He was dead when he started running.Copy !req
467. - Didn't I tell you I didn't want to split?
- You need me, kid.Copy !req
468. I know the players, how to get money.
Now give him the disks, Jessica!Copy !req
469. I don't want to hurt you, son.
But I will. Get out.Copy !req
470. Just like my dad...Copy !req
471. always telling me what to do.Copy !req
472. I don't listen to him.Copy !req
473. What makes you think
I'm gonna listen to you?Copy !req
474. Where are the disks?Copy !req
475. In the floorboards? In the ceiling?Copy !req
476. In here?Copy !req
477. Doesn't really matter.
I'll figure it out one way or another.Copy !req
478. So why don't you save yourself
a lot of pain...Copy !req
479. and make it sooner.Copy !req
480. You can kill me, you can tear this house
to the ground, you won't find the disks.Copy !req
481. Jessie.Copy !req
482. Please don't do this.Copy !req
483. I never realized how easy it would be
to get everything I've ever wanted.Copy !req
484. Clark!Copy !req
485. Pete?Copy !req
486. - It take the whole study group to find me?
- Lionel Luthor heard you mention Jessie.Copy !req
487. Jessie, run!Copy !req
488. How far is she gonna get, Pete?
A mile or two?Copy !req
489. You know no one
can get away from me.Copy !req
490. Clark!Copy !req
491. - I won't let you hurt anybody else.
- Still trying to tell me what to do.Copy !req
492. Are you scared?Copy !req
493. Then again,
you and Mom were always afraid of me.Copy !req
494. No. We've had nothing but love for you.Copy !req
495. That makes what I'm about to do
all that more difficult.Copy !req
496. Pete.Copy !req
497. Do it.Copy !req
498. Pete.Copy !req
499. Clark, I'm sorry.Copy !req
500. Clark!Copy !req
501. Dad?Copy !req
502. It's okay, son. It's all right.Copy !req
503. You okay, man?Copy !req
504. Thanks, Pete.Copy !req
505. Who is that?Copy !req
506. What's...? What's going on?Copy !req
507. Lex?Copy !req
508. What's going on in here?Copy !req
509. What...? I didn't order
any more work to be done.Copy !req
510. - I'm putting the office back as it was.
- You...Copy !req
511. Have a drink, Dad.Copy !req
512. Bas Armagnac, 1963?Copy !req
513. It's my favorite.Copy !req
514. There was a time I thought our taste
in brandy was all we had in common.Copy !req
515. And now?Copy !req
516. I've been thinking about the months
after the meteor shower...Copy !req
517. the way people looked at me.Copy !req
518. A baldheaded boy,
thinking I was a freak.Copy !req
519. Please, Lex, not another tale of your
tortured youth and how I...Copy !req
520. How I failed you as a father...Copy !req
521. Actually, you gave me
some excellent advice.Copy !req
522. You told me to stop feeling sorry
for myself.Copy !req
523. These were the cards fate had dealt me.
It was best that I accept it and move on.Copy !req
524. Stop acting like your blindness
gives you an excuse for self-pity.Copy !req
525. So the son becomes the father.Copy !req
526. No, Dad.Copy !req
527. I'm through indulging you like a child.Copy !req
528. My office remains my office.
You don't like it, leave.Copy !req
529. Well. Seems I have done a better job
of raising you than I thought.Copy !req
530. Or perhaps...Copy !req
531. you've finally learned the value
of directness from your friend...Copy !req
532. Clark Kent.Copy !req
533. He's a very interesting young man.Copy !req
534. - Hi.
- Hey.Copy !req
535. - Here.
- Thanks.Copy !req
536. I went by Jessie's.
They've completely cleared out.Copy !req
537. Well, maybe they stopped running
and have gone to the authorities.Copy !req
538. I just hope she's all right.Copy !req
539. You know, Dad, the things that I did
and I said, I really didn't mean them.Copy !req
540. Clark...Copy !req
541. the red meteor rocks might have
affected your personality, but...Copy !req
542. we gotta face it,
those feelings all came from somewhere.Copy !req
543. Now, I know compared to Lex, we don't
have a whole lot around here, but...Copy !req
544. up until now, I never
really thought it bothered you.Copy !req
545. Maybe it does.Copy !req
546. Sometimes.Copy !req
547. And then I remember
what's really important...Copy !req
548. and none of that matters.
No matter how crazy I got...Copy !req
549. you stood by me. That's something
all the money in the world can't buy.Copy !req
550. - But, still, it was a very close call, son.
- I know.Copy !req
551. When I put that ring on, I felt this sudden
urge to tell the whole world my secret.Copy !req
552. - Lex, Lana, Jessie.
- But you didn't, Clark.Copy !req
553. I know, but the feelings are still there.Copy !req
554. It's like I have these two identities.
I don't know which one's the real me.Copy !req
555. The real you is the one
who came back to us...Copy !req
556. and we never had any doubt
that you would.Copy !req
557. Nell told me you were riding, that this
is one of your favorite places. It's pretty.Copy !req
558. I got a little lost along the way, but...Copy !req
559. here I am.Copy !req
560. Those for me?Copy !req
561. Yeah.Copy !req
562. I wanted to apologize.Copy !req
563. I was hoping maybe we could be friends,
like we were before.Copy !req
564. So you thought that
if you brought me flowers...Copy !req
565. I'd pretend like nothing happened?Copy !req
566. You have to believe me.
The things I said, the way I was acting...Copy !req
567. that wasn't me.Copy !req
568. Even the part where you said
you had feelings for me?Copy !req
569. - Lana...
- Clark...Copy !req
570. you can't have it both ways.
Either it was you, or it wasn't.Copy !req
571. Wish I could explain, but I can't.Copy !req
572. Story of your life.Copy !req
573. Lana...Copy !req
574. I really am sorry.Copy !req
575. I know you are.Copy !req
576. It's not enough anymore.Copy !req
577. Do you think you can
find your way home?Copy !req
578. Hope so.Copy !req
