- That's good.

- It's my first fishing rod.

172
00:13:55,335 --> 00:13:58,338

out in the paddock all day.

- I remember.
- In fact,

174

I remember I used to have to pry it
out of your hands to get you to bed.

Dad, what would you say if we could
be sitting in the deluxe box

changed quite a bit.

Wait a minute.
Did Lex Luthor arrange all this for us?

181
00:14:27,159 --> 00:14:32,205
Clark, this morning I had a surprise visit
from one of Lionel Luthor's people.

182
00:14:32,372 --> 00:14:36,043
Did you know Lex Luthor was having
us investigated after the bridge accident?

183
00:14:36,209 --> 00:14:39,171
Yeah, but Lex said that was
all in our past. He promised.

184
00:14:43,842 --> 00:14:48,346
- You knew and you didn't tell me?
- Because I knew you'd react like this.

had an understanding.

How am I supposed to protect you
if you won't give me the facts?

187
00:14:55,645 --> 00:14:59,149
- I don't need protection.
- When it comes to your secret, you do.

188
00:14:59,316 --> 00:15:01,985
When you get older,
you'll understand my apprehension

189
00:15:02,152 --> 00:15:04,863
- about the Luthor family.
- Stop treating me like a kid.

I do it is because it makes you happy!

You two need to work this out.

We will. First we'll have a week
of uncomfortable silence,

then we'll talk about something trivial.
And then we'll move on.

appears in the LuthorCorp annual report.

No, I just want you to understand

if I'm guilty of anything
regarding your family, it's envy.

If you're so envious of my family,
then why do you feel the need

to investigate it behind my back?

the day of the accident.

I had a theory and it was false.
I was totally up-front with Clark about it.

00:42:35,137 --> 00:42:40,392
The fishing trips,
they never had anything to do with fishing.

497
00:42:41,226 --> 00:42:44,438
It was just that I wanted
to spend some time with my son.

498
00:42:47,274 --> 00:42:52,946
My dad and I, we saw each other every day
but we never really talked.

499
00:42:55,073 --> 00:42:57,200
I just don't want history to repeat itself.

500
00:43:00,162 --> 00:43:01,788
That makes two of us.

501
00:43:01,872 --> 00:43:05,792
J“ and when I feel the
skies will never clear j“

502
00:43:05,876 --> 00:43:11,965
j“ you remind me that spring is near... j“

503
00:43:13,175 --> 00:43:15,552
[Clark] I know how we can catch
more fish this year.

504
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,179
[Jonathan] What, new lures?

505
00:43:17,345 --> 00:43:18,972
[Clark] X-ray vision.

506
00:43:19,139 --> 00:43:21,183
[Jonathan chuckles]

507
00:43:21,558 --> 00:43:24,853
J“ how you rise above j“

508
00:43:24,936 --> 00:43:29,900
j“ the sky, yeah j“

509
00:43:33,195 --> 00:43:36,198
