1
00:00:07,758 --> 00:00:09,886
J“ I say boom boom boom
let me hear you say wayo j“

2
00:00:10,011 --> 00:00:10,928
j“ wayo j“

3
00:00:11,012 --> 00:00:13,472
j“ I say boom boom boom
now everybody say wayo j“

4
00:00:13,556 --> 00:00:14,557
j“ wayo j“

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,476
j“ I say boom boom boom
let me hear you say wayo j“

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,061
j“ wayo... j“

7
00:00:22,940 --> 00:00:25,735
Okay, take five.
Kent and Turner, you're in the final.

8
00:00:26,319 --> 00:00:29,906
Dude, I'd definitely take you in a rematch.

9
00:00:29,989 --> 00:00:32,825
My foot slipped on the
dive, ruined my rhythm.

10
00:00:32,992 --> 00:00:35,369
It's funny, I thought you were just slow.

11
00:00:37,872 --> 00:00:39,624
He's a hottie, isn't he?

12
00:00:40,291 --> 00:00:41,667
Look at him.

13
00:00:42,043 --> 00:00:45,546
- Who, Clark?
- Oh, come on, Lana.

14
00:00:45,713 --> 00:00:48,174
- Krissy, Clark and I are just friends.
- Right.

15
00:00:48,257 --> 00:00:51,761
J“ let me hear u say wayo... j“

16
00:00:51,844 --> 00:00:54,430
- so, what do you think?
- Awesome.

17
00:00:54,597 --> 00:00:57,808
I'll ask the principal
if we can hang it in the cafeteria.

18
00:00:57,975 --> 00:01:01,229
You've really thrown yourself
into spirit week. I'm impressed.

19
00:01:01,395 --> 00:01:05,524
Well, these are the best times of
our lives. Isn't that what they say?

20
00:01:05,983 --> 00:01:08,736
To be honest,
I'd forgotten how much fun this can be.

21
00:01:08,903 --> 00:01:11,822
- I'm looking foward to it.
- Krissy. Hey, baby.

22
00:01:12,156 --> 00:01:15,826
Hey, Troy, you're dripping on my signs.

23
00:01:15,993 --> 00:01:20,164
- Don't you have another race?
- Finals. I need a good-luck kiss.

24
00:01:21,666 --> 00:01:25,253
- Go. I can finish up here.
- Thanks. Follow me.

25
00:01:26,587 --> 00:01:27,880
Not a problem.

26
00:01:31,050 --> 00:01:34,178
J“ be aggressive!
B-e aggressive! J“

27
00:01:36,013 --> 00:01:39,392
All right, this one's for
bragging rights. Fastest in the school.

28
00:01:39,558 --> 00:01:41,978
Okay, guys, on the blocks.

29
00:01:43,271 --> 00:01:45,022
Come on, Troy, hurry up.

30
00:01:48,943 --> 00:01:50,861
Swimmers, take your marks.

31
00:01:52,113 --> 00:01:54,782
Three, two, one!

32
00:01:57,535 --> 00:02:00,579
J“ be aggressive! Be aggressive! J“

33
00:02:06,544 --> 00:02:08,462
Troy?

34
00:02:08,796 --> 00:02:11,090
- Hey, hey! Troy!
- What's wrong with him?

35
00:02:15,553 --> 00:02:16,929
He's going under!

36
00:02:17,763 --> 00:02:19,682
Somebody help him!

37
00:02:19,849 --> 00:02:22,143
Troy! Help him!

38
00:02:46,584 --> 00:02:51,630
J“ somebody save me j“

39
00:02:53,132 --> 00:02:57,011
j“ let your warm hands
break right through it j“

40
00:02:57,094 --> 00:03:01,724
j“ somebody save me j“

41
00:03:03,476 --> 00:03:07,271
j“ I don't care how you do it j“

42
00:03:07,355 --> 00:03:11,901
-j“ just stay, stay j“
-j“ stay with me j“

43
00:03:11,984 --> 00:03:17,573
j“ come on, I've been waiting for you j“

44
00:03:17,656 --> 00:03:21,535
j“ to stay with me j“

45
00:03:23,204 --> 00:03:27,666
j“ I made this whole world shine for you j“

46
00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:31,962
j“ stay, stay j“

47
00:03:32,046 --> 00:03:35,132
j“ come on j“

48
00:03:46,894 --> 00:03:48,854
Open your mouth.

49
00:03:51,816 --> 00:03:53,067
Hey, that's perfect.

50
00:03:53,234 --> 00:03:56,904
All we have to do is come up with a
snappy name, we'll make a fortune.

51
00:03:57,071 --> 00:03:59,490
Forget Mrs. Fields.
You could be "Mrs. Kents."

52
00:03:59,657 --> 00:04:03,202
- I like the sound of that.
- This is turning into a bigtime operation.

53
00:04:03,369 --> 00:04:06,330
Yeah. Thanks. I've added
two convenience stores

54
00:04:06,497 --> 00:04:09,125
and the retirement
center to my client list.

55
00:04:09,291 --> 00:04:11,085
That's great.

56
00:04:11,293 --> 00:04:13,087
What?

57
00:04:13,254 --> 00:04:16,090
I don't see how we'll pay
the feed bill this month.

58
00:04:16,590 --> 00:04:19,844
I could get an
extension on our credit.

59
00:04:20,052 --> 00:04:21,387
We're three months behind.

60
00:04:21,512 --> 00:04:24,598
- Henry's a friend. He'll understand.
- He already said no.

61
00:04:24,890 --> 00:04:28,018
My salary from Lionel
isn't enough. What are we gonna do?

62
00:04:28,102 --> 00:04:31,564
I don't know,
we don't have a whole lot of options here.

63
00:04:31,730 --> 00:04:33,441
There is one call we can make.

64
00:04:37,069 --> 00:04:39,572
Maybe we should talk to my father.

65
00:04:44,076 --> 00:04:46,620
Why is it whenever anyone mentions grandad,

66
00:04:46,704 --> 00:04:49,665
everyone becomes quiet and uncomfortable?

67
00:04:49,832 --> 00:04:52,877
- Isn't it weird I've never met the guy?
- Clark, I'm...

68
00:04:53,043 --> 00:04:57,173
I'm sorry you haven't had a relationship
with your grandpa, I really am.

69
00:04:57,339 --> 00:04:59,550
But there's too much bad blood.

70
00:05:01,010 --> 00:05:04,388
I'm sorry, but I've got work to do.

71
00:05:13,272 --> 00:05:17,693
- Lana, where would you like these?
- You can just put them on the counter.

72
00:05:17,860 --> 00:05:20,571
- Getting ready for the spirit week bash?
- Trying to.

73
00:05:20,738 --> 00:05:25,784
I think Nell's used the projection booth as
her personal storage since the late '70s.

74
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,044
What are those?

75
00:05:35,211 --> 00:05:38,297
Clark, these photos are
of my mom and some guy.

76
00:05:38,964 --> 00:05:40,883
Maybe he's an old boyfriend.

77
00:05:44,845 --> 00:05:47,223
They were taken when
my parents were married.

78
00:05:47,389 --> 00:05:49,475
Maybe he was just a friend.

79
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,149
- I'm sure you're right.
- Right about what?

80
00:05:57,316 --> 00:05:59,485
The mystery man with Lana's mother.

81
00:05:59,652 --> 00:06:02,571
Hey, they make an attractive couple.

82
00:06:06,450 --> 00:06:10,162
And there could be a million explanations.
Who do you think it is?

83
00:06:11,247 --> 00:06:13,332
I don't know, but I'll bet Nell does.

84
00:06:13,499 --> 00:06:17,378
Then mystery solved.
I wish they were all this easy.

85
00:06:17,545 --> 00:06:20,130
Well, it's late, we should get to school.

86
00:06:20,297 --> 00:06:24,426
- I'm heading that way, if you need a lift.
- I've got the first two periods off.

87
00:06:24,593 --> 00:06:28,264
- Clark?
- No, I was just gonna run.

88
00:06:29,265 --> 00:06:32,017
I don't think you could
outrun my Porsche, Clark.

89
00:06:41,819 --> 00:06:44,488
Excuse me. What's going on?
I need to get in there.

90
00:06:44,572 --> 00:06:48,534
- You should've been here earlier, Mr...?
- Kent. Clark Kent.

91
00:06:48,701 --> 00:06:52,871
Ah. Of course. I noticed in your records
you have a penchant for tardiness.

92
00:06:53,664 --> 00:06:56,834
- Who exactly are you?
- I'm Mr. Reynolds, your new principal.

93
00:06:57,293 --> 00:07:00,212
- Oh, um, nice to meet you.
- Yes.

94
00:07:00,296 --> 00:07:01,880
So you're aware, from now on,

95
00:07:02,047 --> 00:07:06,468
this gate locks when the bell rings
and doesn't open until school is out.

96
00:07:06,635 --> 00:07:08,137
I'd, uh...

97
00:07:08,804 --> 00:07:12,808
I'd appreciate it if you'd give Clark
a pass. He was late because of me.

98
00:07:12,975 --> 00:07:14,602
Lex Luthor.

99
00:07:14,768 --> 00:07:19,148
The Porsche, the attitude.
Somehow I'm not surprised you're involved.

100
00:07:19,315 --> 00:07:22,109
- You know each other.
- Mr. Reynolds was headmaster

101
00:07:22,276 --> 00:07:24,778
at excelsior prep during my stay there.

102
00:07:24,862 --> 00:07:27,072
You might find this hard to believe, Lex,

103
00:07:27,239 --> 00:07:30,701
but people should take responsibility
for their own actions.

104
00:07:30,868 --> 00:07:34,079
- It won't happen again.
- I'm keeping my eye on you, Mr. Kent.

105
00:07:34,622 --> 00:07:38,250
The next time it happens,
automatic detention.

106
00:07:40,336 --> 00:07:41,587
Catch you later, Clark.

107
00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:51,680
Spare the rod, spoil the child. You haven't
changed. What's next, school uniforms?

108
00:07:51,930 --> 00:07:56,185
I'd appreciate it if you'd stay away
from my school and my students, Luthor.

109
00:07:56,352 --> 00:08:00,606
Listen, I know we had our share
of run-ins at excelsior, but I was 14.

110
00:08:00,773 --> 00:08:03,525
Don't you think it's petty
to be holding a grudge?

111
00:08:03,692 --> 00:08:06,403
That's awfully noble, coming from a Luthor.

112
00:08:07,446 --> 00:08:08,989
I'm a little confused.

113
00:08:09,156 --> 00:08:11,742
Exactly what did I do to earn such enmity?

114
00:08:14,286 --> 00:08:16,163
Good bye, Lex.

115
00:08:28,050 --> 00:08:29,760
Kristine Parker?

116
00:08:30,761 --> 00:08:33,639
J“ oh, Mickey, you're so fine
you're so fine, you blow my mind j“

117
00:08:33,722 --> 00:08:35,307
j“ hey, Mickey, hey, hey... j“

118
00:08:35,391 --> 00:08:38,560
- I'm principal Reynolds.
- Hi, nice to finally meet you.

119
00:08:38,727 --> 00:08:42,898
- Did you get my memo about uniforms?
- I did. Thank you, I'm looking into it.

120
00:08:43,065 --> 00:08:46,652
I understand you're the visionary
behind our spirit week activities.

121
00:08:46,819 --> 00:08:49,613
Well, I just want everyone
to have the best time ever.

122
00:08:49,780 --> 00:08:51,865
I admire your enthusiasm.

123
00:08:52,032 --> 00:08:56,161
I was going through the student files,
trying to get to know everyone better

124
00:08:56,328 --> 00:08:59,581
and I noticed we don't have
the transcripts from your last school.

125
00:08:59,748 --> 00:09:04,586
Huh. That's weird. But it figures,
my guidance counselor was a total ditz.

126
00:09:04,753 --> 00:09:08,424
We need a copy on file.
If you can have your parents fonnard it,

127
00:09:08,590 --> 00:09:12,428
- I'd appreciate it.
- No problem, I'll tell them tonight.

128
00:09:21,437 --> 00:09:25,357
I see Troy's death has joined the ranks
of the unexplained and bizarre.

129
00:09:25,524 --> 00:09:31,155
Big time. The report said he died of an
onset of a rapid aging disease, progeria.

130
00:09:31,321 --> 00:09:34,366
I thought that made you age over 10 years,
not 10 seconds.

131
00:09:34,533 --> 00:09:39,204
Exactly. The coroner's running a test
to tell whether Troy had progeria, or...

132
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:41,248
Something unexplained and bizarre.

133
00:09:41,415 --> 00:09:46,462
Good luck investigating. You'll probably
need a hall pass from our new principal.

134
00:09:46,628 --> 00:09:48,547
A lot of schools have a
closed-campus policy.

135
00:09:48,630 --> 00:09:52,634
- Yeah. Why you so worked up?
- I had a run-in with him.

136
00:09:52,801 --> 00:09:55,429
He busted me.
Threatened to keep his eye on me.

137
00:09:55,596 --> 00:09:59,850
Wow. Clark's on the principal's
bad-boy list. First time for everything.

138
00:10:00,017 --> 00:10:01,727
- Guy's a real hard case.
- Right.

139
00:10:01,894 --> 00:10:05,481
First, it's a lock-down,
next thing you know he'll be burning books.

140
00:10:05,647 --> 00:10:07,691
Wait till he comes after the torch.

141
00:10:07,858 --> 00:10:12,946
I did some digging on principal Reynolds
to find out his views on the fourth estate.

142
00:10:13,530 --> 00:10:16,033
Harvard, b.A.
Ph.D. at Columbia in education.

143
00:10:16,533 --> 00:10:21,163
Taught at prep schools all over Europe and
the east coast. Pretty impressive résumé.

144
00:10:21,330 --> 00:10:25,375
His name was mentioned as the new head
of the Metropolis board of education.

145
00:10:25,542 --> 00:10:28,670
Till one day he's dismissed
from excelsior prep,

146
00:10:28,837 --> 00:10:30,881
and he doesn't work again until here.

147
00:10:31,048 --> 00:10:33,842
How does a guy on the fast track
end up in Smallville?

148
00:10:34,009 --> 00:10:36,595
I don't know,
but he's not wall of weird material.

149
00:10:37,012 --> 00:10:41,433
Just because the guy doesn't love you
like every other teacher in this school,

150
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,978
doesn't mean that he's
hiding some dark past.

151
00:10:52,486 --> 00:10:54,738
Hey. Came by to see if you needed a hand.

152
00:10:54,905 --> 00:10:57,449
Thought you were helping
your mom this afternoon.

153
00:10:57,616 --> 00:11:01,161
- She said she's got it covered.
- Something wrong?

154
00:11:01,328 --> 00:11:03,705
My mom's been secretive
the last couple days.

155
00:11:03,872 --> 00:11:06,375
A Kent secretive, that's shocking.

156
00:11:06,542 --> 00:11:09,878
- It has to do with my grandfather.
- You've never mentioned him.

157
00:11:10,045 --> 00:11:13,215
I've never actually met him.
I've only seen old pictures.

158
00:11:13,382 --> 00:11:17,344
- Do you know anything about him?
- He was a corporate lawyer in Metropolis.

159
00:11:17,511 --> 00:11:20,597
He and my grandmother
retired to coast city.

160
00:11:21,014 --> 00:11:23,475
When I was in sixth grade,
I decided to call him.

161
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:28,105
I left messages, but he never called back.
Guess he wasn't interested.

162
00:11:28,272 --> 00:11:31,859
All these years I had this image
of the kents as the perfect family.

163
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:35,112
I guess we're just as dysfunctional
as everyone else.

164
00:11:35,946 --> 00:11:38,490
I never did pressure
my parents for the story.

165
00:11:38,657 --> 00:11:40,409
Maybe you didn't want to know.

166
00:11:40,784 --> 00:11:43,829
Maybe it's easier to live
with the image than the truth.

167
00:11:43,996 --> 00:11:48,083
Looks like we're both dealing
with secrets out of the past.

168
00:11:48,542 --> 00:11:52,671
I'm not sure what I'm gonna do, but
this is your chance to get some answers.

169
00:11:57,759 --> 00:12:00,137
I'll catch up with you later?

170
00:12:03,932 --> 00:12:08,604
Lana, the place looks fantastic.

171
00:12:09,688 --> 00:12:13,275
- You've done a really good job here.
- Thanks.

172
00:12:13,442 --> 00:12:17,613
- Um, I wanted to talk to you about something.
- Yeah, what is it?

173
00:12:19,948 --> 00:12:22,200
These pictures.

174
00:12:25,495 --> 00:12:26,872
Do you know who he is?

175
00:12:27,247 --> 00:12:30,125
Must have been one of
your mom's old boyfriends.

176
00:12:30,292 --> 00:12:33,295
They were taken after mom and dad
were already married.

177
00:12:33,462 --> 00:12:36,131
Just a year before I was born.

178
00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:40,218
Lana, what's this about?

179
00:12:41,219 --> 00:12:42,471
I'm not sure.

180
00:12:43,597 --> 00:12:45,349
Listen to me.

181
00:12:46,558 --> 00:12:48,101
Your mother...

182
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:53,190
She loved you and your father
more than anything else in this world.

183
00:12:54,024 --> 00:12:57,986
She never would have done anything
to hurt either of you.

184
00:12:59,529 --> 00:13:01,448
You know that, don't you?

185
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:29,935
Hi, dad.

186
00:13:30,102 --> 00:13:32,229
I appreciate you making the trip.

187
00:13:38,485 --> 00:13:40,362
I was surprised to get your message.

188
00:13:40,529 --> 00:13:43,323
Must have taken a lot for Jonathan
to ask for my help.

189
00:13:43,490 --> 00:13:47,160
Jonathan is at the co-op in grandville.
He doesn't know I called.

190
00:13:47,327 --> 00:13:50,580
Oh. I should have known.

191
00:13:52,833 --> 00:13:55,419
I imagined this place differently.

192
00:13:56,878 --> 00:13:59,297
But it's not the life I
wanted for you, Martha.

193
00:13:59,464 --> 00:14:02,509
I'm happy, dad. It's a good life.

194
00:14:02,676 --> 00:14:06,805
For some people, maybe.
But you had so much potential.

195
00:14:06,972 --> 00:14:11,935
Top 10 in your class. You could have
gone to any law school you wanted.

196
00:14:12,102 --> 00:14:14,229
I had hoped you'd take over my practice.

197
00:14:14,396 --> 00:14:17,774
I never wanted to be a lawyer.
This is the life I chose.

198
00:14:17,941 --> 00:14:20,444
This is the life Jonathan chose for you.

199
00:14:20,610 --> 00:14:23,989
- You just went along for the ride.
- This isn't about Jonathan.

200
00:14:24,156 --> 00:14:27,993
You raised an independent daughter.
You're angry because you got that.

201
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:33,165
Here you are, 20 years later, going behind
your husband's back asking me for money.

202
00:14:33,331 --> 00:14:36,293
- Mom?
- Clark.

203
00:14:36,752 --> 00:14:38,628
I thought you were at the Talon.

204
00:14:39,129 --> 00:14:41,715
I finished early. What's up?

205
00:14:44,342 --> 00:14:46,553
Clark, this is your grandfather.

206
00:14:49,806 --> 00:14:52,976
- Pleased to meet you, sir.
- Hello, Clark.

207
00:14:58,899 --> 00:15:00,317
I'll, uh...

208
00:15:00,484 --> 00:15:02,319
I'll be at the motel.

209
00:15:03,111 --> 00:15:06,573
I'll have a cashier's check
drawn tomorrow morning.

210
00:15:06,740 --> 00:15:10,535
Why don't you stay with us?
We have plenty of room.

211
00:15:12,287 --> 00:15:15,332
I don't think that would be
a very good idea, Clark.

212
00:15:16,666 --> 00:15:19,002
Well, how about dinner?

213
00:15:20,003 --> 00:15:22,005
One meal as a family.

214
00:15:22,172 --> 00:15:24,216
I'm sorry.

215
00:15:44,945 --> 00:15:48,865
I don't want your father having anything
to do with our finances.

216
00:15:49,032 --> 00:15:50,951
Jonathan, what was I supposed to do?

217
00:15:51,118 --> 00:15:55,038
- Wait until the bank foreclosed?
- I wish you'd said something to me first.

218
00:15:55,205 --> 00:15:58,959
- What's the harm in hearing him out?
- You don't have to be the mediator.

219
00:15:59,126 --> 00:16:02,212
- I wish things could be different.
- Why can't they be?

220
00:16:02,379 --> 00:16:06,883
You told me to look for the best in people.
Maybe he's trying to put this behind him.

221
00:16:07,050 --> 00:16:09,386
I seriously doubt that, Clark.

222
00:16:10,512 --> 00:16:12,222
What happened that was so bad?

223
00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:15,600
It can't be any worse than
what's in the storm cellar.

224
00:16:21,189 --> 00:16:25,819
When your mother and I decided to get
married, I went to him to ask for her hand.

225
00:16:26,194 --> 00:16:29,322
- What'd he say?
- I remember his exact words:

226
00:16:29,531 --> 00:16:33,535
"I will not let my daughter throw her
life away by marrying a hick farmer

227
00:16:33,702 --> 00:16:36,371
that couldn't possibly support her."

228
00:16:36,621 --> 00:16:40,250
- Well, that's harsh.
- That's the way he dealt with people.

229
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:44,880
When he realized we were serious
about getting married, he lost it.

230
00:16:45,046 --> 00:16:48,091
- He tried to shove me out of his office.
- What happened?

231
00:16:56,099 --> 00:16:58,810
I'm not proud of that,
I tried to apologize to him.

232
00:16:58,977 --> 00:17:02,564
He wouldn't have anything to do with it.
Your grandfather and I...

233
00:17:02,731 --> 00:17:06,359
- Haven't spoken to each other since.
- That was 20 years ago.

234
00:17:06,526 --> 00:17:09,946
He was willing to drive out here,
maybe he wants to try again.

235
00:17:10,113 --> 00:17:14,284
Believe me, Clark, he's not here to help.
He's here to gloat.

236
00:17:37,015 --> 00:17:41,728
Hey, I got a message you wanted to see me.
Everything all right?

237
00:17:41,895 --> 00:17:44,147
I was wondering if you could do me a favor.

238
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:47,651
I take it Nell couldn't
identify the mystery man?

239
00:17:48,026 --> 00:17:50,362
If she could, she
wouldn't tell me anything.

240
00:17:50,528 --> 00:17:52,155
I wanna know who it is.

241
00:17:52,822 --> 00:17:55,075
Well, that shouldn't be hard to find.

242
00:17:55,242 --> 00:17:58,870
But coming to terms with it
could prove to be more complicated.

243
00:17:59,037 --> 00:18:00,497
What do you mean?

244
00:18:00,664 --> 00:18:02,832
Come on, you know the story of pandora.

245
00:18:02,999 --> 00:18:06,086
She was given a box by Zeus
and warned never to open it.

246
00:18:06,253 --> 00:18:09,673
- She couldn't resist the temptation.
- I'm not afraid of the truth.

247
00:18:09,839 --> 00:18:13,260
Neither was pandora. But once the
box was open, it could never be closed.

248
00:18:13,343 --> 00:18:16,471
All the misery she released
could never be put back.

249
00:18:16,638 --> 00:18:20,600
I appreciate the warning.
And anything you can tell me.

250
00:18:20,809 --> 00:18:23,019
Go, crows!

251
00:18:28,108 --> 00:18:29,442
- Hey, Chloe.
- Hey, Clark.

252
00:18:29,609 --> 00:18:32,696
Oh. Clark, you might want to disappear
for the next hour or so.

253
00:18:32,862 --> 00:18:34,864
- Why's that?
- I'm about to interview

254
00:18:35,031 --> 00:18:37,117
your new best friend, principal Reynolds.

255
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,120
Oh. Thanks for the heads-up.

256
00:18:43,206 --> 00:18:45,625
- What have you got there?
- Remember my buddy Chad

257
00:18:45,792 --> 00:18:49,337
- that works at the m.E.'S office?
- The guy with the black fingernail Polish.

258
00:18:49,421 --> 00:18:54,467
Oh. It's hard being Smallville's only goth.
He sent me the autopsy report of Troy.

259
00:18:54,634 --> 00:18:58,138
It's amazing what lending someone
your eyeliner can get you.

260
00:19:00,724 --> 00:19:02,267
So Troy didn't have progeria.

261
00:19:02,434 --> 00:19:07,063
No, but his pituitary gland, which produces
hormones that control the aging process

262
00:19:07,230 --> 00:19:11,401
was completely drained. Like
someone just sucked the youth out of him.

263
00:19:11,568 --> 00:19:14,279
Well, that's quite an
assumption, miss Sullivan.

264
00:19:16,072 --> 00:19:17,699
Uh, principal Reynolds.

265
00:19:17,866 --> 00:19:21,870
I was just running through
various scenarios, you know,

266
00:19:22,037 --> 00:19:25,248
wild theories and stuff.
I'm shutting up now.

267
00:19:25,540 --> 00:19:28,918
Well, don't. I
like my students thinking outside the box.

268
00:19:29,336 --> 00:19:31,755
I've been reading back issues of the torch.

269
00:19:31,838 --> 00:19:34,716
I see a lot of creativity
and insight there.

270
00:19:34,883 --> 00:19:38,428
- You're kidding.
- Well, unverified insight.

271
00:19:39,012 --> 00:19:43,099
But many a pulitzer has sprung
from the seeds of wild theories.

272
00:19:45,727 --> 00:19:47,604
Just make sure you can back them up.

273
00:19:47,771 --> 00:19:51,816
That'll be the difference between
writing trash for the inquisitor,

274
00:19:51,983 --> 00:19:54,944
- and reporting for the daily planet.
- Wow.

275
00:19:57,906 --> 00:20:02,243
- Are you still up for that interview?
- Well, give me half an hour.

276
00:20:05,455 --> 00:20:07,874
I was actually looking for you.

277
00:20:08,958 --> 00:20:10,835
I'd like to see you in my office.

278
00:20:21,930 --> 00:20:27,394
- You look like you feel a little out of place.
- I've never been in the principal's office.

279
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,606
You can start by sitting.
I'll cut right to the chase.

280
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,402
I think you're a slacker.

281
00:20:35,568 --> 00:20:38,863
Quit the football team
before you played the first game,

282
00:20:39,030 --> 00:20:42,826
chronic tardiness, zero extracurriculars.

283
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,997
I get very good grades
and I write for the torch occasionally.

284
00:20:48,289 --> 00:20:51,000
Retyping the cafeteria
menu isn't exactly writing.

285
00:20:51,167 --> 00:20:54,003
I see a lot of untapped
potential in you, Mr. Kent.

286
00:20:54,337 --> 00:20:59,509
Mr. Reynolds, I don't understand, we just
met. How could you judge me so quickly?

287
00:20:59,676 --> 00:21:02,095
How do you know Lex Luthor?

288
00:21:02,971 --> 00:21:05,723
Well, he's a friend of mine. Why?

289
00:21:05,890 --> 00:21:08,268
A person is judged by
the company they keep.

290
00:21:08,435 --> 00:21:13,273
Lex Luthor doesn't have friends.
He sees people as a means towards an end.

291
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,525
I don't think that's true.

292
00:21:16,025 --> 00:21:20,363
Time will tell. Frankly, I'm more interested
in your world. What are your goals?

293
00:21:20,530 --> 00:21:23,741
Well, uh, I'd like to help people.

294
00:21:23,908 --> 00:21:25,201
Something like that.

295
00:21:25,368 --> 00:21:29,080
Helping people is a noble aspiration.
It's also rather vague.

296
00:21:29,247 --> 00:21:32,625
Where are you gonna be five years from now?

297
00:21:33,543 --> 00:21:35,587
To tell the truth, I'm not really sure.

298
00:21:35,753 --> 00:21:37,714
Well, I'm gonna help you to focus.

299
00:21:37,881 --> 00:21:42,302
I want you to write a five-page essay
on where you're gonna be in five years.

300
00:21:42,469 --> 00:21:46,890
And I want it on my desk
by the end of the school day on Friday.

301
00:21:48,516 --> 00:21:50,894
Sir, why are you doing this to me?

302
00:21:52,604 --> 00:21:55,106
This isn't punishment, Mr. Kent.

303
00:21:55,273 --> 00:21:57,567
Consider it a challenge.

304
00:22:16,753 --> 00:22:20,548
Clark, hey. Just in time to volunteer
for the decorations committee.

305
00:22:20,715 --> 00:22:23,801
Actually, I've gotta finish my essay
for Mr. Reynolds.

306
00:22:23,968 --> 00:22:26,596
That's a bummer. What's it about?

307
00:22:27,263 --> 00:22:29,849
What the future theoretically holds for me.

308
00:22:30,183 --> 00:22:32,852
Who cares about the future?

309
00:22:33,019 --> 00:22:35,980
- I think there's life after high school.
- Sure.

310
00:22:36,147 --> 00:22:40,068
Yeah, as in a job,
responsibilities, getting old.

311
00:22:40,151 --> 00:22:44,364
J“ I feel fine doesn't really
matter now 'cause I'm all right j“

312
00:22:44,447 --> 00:22:47,408
j“ she knocked me on my ass again
but I don't mind j“

313
00:22:47,492 --> 00:22:51,037
j“ looks like I'm alone
again and I feel fine... j“

314
00:22:51,204 --> 00:22:53,790
- is everything all right?
- Of course.

315
00:22:55,500 --> 00:22:58,044
Krissy, we've got the
lighting the way you want it.

316
00:22:58,211 --> 00:23:00,421
Great. Let's see what you got.

317
00:23:07,887 --> 00:23:09,472
Let me guess.

318
00:23:09,639 --> 00:23:13,560
Reynolds wants to know where you
see yourself five years from now?

319
00:23:15,353 --> 00:23:18,147
He made me do that assignment
when I was at excelsior.

320
00:23:18,314 --> 00:23:20,358
He's nothing if not consistent.

321
00:23:22,819 --> 00:23:26,030
He doesn't exactly have
a high opinion of you.

322
00:23:26,197 --> 00:23:27,615
I wasn't a model student,

323
00:23:27,782 --> 00:23:31,494
but imagine being a bald 14-year-old
in an elite prep school.

324
00:23:31,661 --> 00:23:35,164
- Must have been tough.
- I had a major chip on my shoulder.

325
00:23:35,331 --> 00:23:36,583
But Reynolds saw through it.

326
00:23:36,749 --> 00:23:41,588
He challenged me to own up to my actions
not to assume the mantle of the rich kid.

327
00:23:41,754 --> 00:23:44,674
He was tough but fair.
I liked him for that.

328
00:23:44,841 --> 00:23:50,346
I wish it was mutual. Whatever he
has against you, he's taking it out on me.

329
00:23:50,597 --> 00:23:54,434
I'm sorry being friends with me
comes with such a high price.

330
00:23:56,519 --> 00:24:00,440
So exactly, uh, how long were you planning
to work on this essay?

331
00:24:01,649 --> 00:24:04,068
I'm just not ready to go home yet.

332
00:24:08,197 --> 00:24:11,909
- Something wrong?
- No, it's just family stuff.

333
00:24:12,201 --> 00:24:15,038
Come on, Clark,
I'm the king of family dysfunction.

334
00:24:17,206 --> 00:24:21,169
My father and grandfather hate each other,
and I feel caught in the middle.

335
00:24:21,336 --> 00:24:23,296
And you'd like to play peacemaker.

336
00:24:23,463 --> 00:24:26,924
Best thing to do is put them in a room
and let them fight it out.

337
00:24:27,091 --> 00:24:29,177
So you're saying I should play hardball.

338
00:24:29,302 --> 00:24:31,471
That's up to you, but...

339
00:24:31,638 --> 00:24:36,851
It'll take that sort of determination to
bring your father and grandfather together.

340
00:24:41,064 --> 00:24:43,107
What do you think?

341
00:24:43,274 --> 00:24:45,902
Perfect.

342
00:24:46,235 --> 00:24:49,364
- Thank you for doing this, Russell.
- It's been a weird week.

343
00:24:49,530 --> 00:24:53,242
- Feels good to be doing something.
- I know you and Troy were friends.

344
00:24:54,619 --> 00:24:56,371
I really miss him.

345
00:24:58,706 --> 00:25:01,751
Well, that's why I came
to see you, Russell.

346
00:25:01,918 --> 00:25:03,920
For Troy.

347
00:25:05,963 --> 00:25:08,132
For the others.

348
00:25:08,216 --> 00:25:11,135
The others? What are you talking about?

349
00:25:15,431 --> 00:25:17,892
The ones who will live inside me forever.

350
00:25:17,975 --> 00:25:21,229
J“ be aggressive!
B-e aggressive! J“

351
00:25:21,312 --> 00:25:28,319
j“ b-e a-g-g-r-e—s-s-i—v—e
aggressive, b-e aggressive j“

352
00:25:40,748 --> 00:25:42,083
Hey, dad, got a minute?

353
00:25:42,250 --> 00:25:46,754
You gotta talk to me while we're working.
We got a lot to do before it gets dark.

354
00:25:46,921 --> 00:25:49,549
There's someone I want you to see.

355
00:25:56,389 --> 00:25:59,892
- Your mother put you up to this?
- No, this was all my idea.

356
00:26:00,059 --> 00:26:01,310
Don't blame the boy.

357
00:26:01,477 --> 00:26:05,106
The problems we have are between us.
Martha says you need help.

358
00:26:05,273 --> 00:26:06,273
I'm here to give it.

359
00:26:06,774 --> 00:26:11,487
- Now you want to be part of this family?
- I don't want anything from you.

360
00:26:11,654 --> 00:26:15,199
I brought a check because
I won't watch my daughter suffer.

361
00:26:15,366 --> 00:26:18,995
- Couldn't resist turning that knife?
- Dad, give him a chance.

362
00:26:19,162 --> 00:26:22,165
- You two can work this out.
- I don't think so, son.

363
00:26:22,331 --> 00:26:25,460
It's just like 20 years ago,
the same argument and attitude.

364
00:26:25,626 --> 00:26:30,298
Not quite. It has been 20 years.
But everything I predicted has come true.

365
00:26:30,882 --> 00:26:34,802
I knew Martha was making
a big mistake when she married you.

366
00:26:34,969 --> 00:26:36,971
That's not true, grandad.

367
00:26:37,472 --> 00:26:40,475
You'll have to swallow your pride
to save this farm.

368
00:26:40,641 --> 00:26:43,603
I don't need a lecture
on how to take care of my family.

369
00:26:43,770 --> 00:26:47,231
You're just as stubborn and pig-headed
as you were the day we met.

370
00:26:47,398 --> 00:26:49,442
You get off my land.

371
00:26:50,026 --> 00:26:51,819
Gladly.

372
00:26:52,361 --> 00:26:54,363
Grandad, wait.

373
00:26:55,031 --> 00:26:58,409
- It wasn't supposed to be like this.
- Just let him go, son.

374
00:26:59,118 --> 00:27:00,995
I know you had good intentions...

375
00:27:01,746 --> 00:27:03,831
But some things just can't change.

376
00:27:07,168 --> 00:27:09,587
Let's unload the truck.

377
00:27:12,673 --> 00:27:15,551
- Clark, wait up.
- Hey.

378
00:27:17,470 --> 00:27:19,722
You look like the wind
got knocked out of you.

379
00:27:19,889 --> 00:27:22,683
I'm just dealing with some family issues.

380
00:27:22,975 --> 00:27:24,435
You want to talk about it?

381
00:27:24,602 --> 00:27:26,938
The more I talk about
it, the worse they get.

382
00:27:27,104 --> 00:27:30,775
Did you guys hear about Russell?
They found his body behind the Talon.

383
00:27:30,942 --> 00:27:33,402
- What happened?
- He aged, like, 100 years.

384
00:27:33,569 --> 00:27:36,989
The police thought it was a homeless guy
until they found his ID.

385
00:27:37,156 --> 00:27:39,826
Two progeria deaths in two days,
what are the odds?

386
00:27:39,992 --> 00:27:44,372
Lana wanted to cancel the party
but principal Reynolds asked her not to.

387
00:27:44,539 --> 00:27:46,916
He said he wanted to keep things normal.

388
00:27:47,083 --> 00:27:51,546
He obviously hasn't had his normal meter
reset for Smallville.

389
00:27:58,052 --> 00:28:01,639
- What is it, Clark?
- I saw Russell with krissy at the Talon.

390
00:28:01,806 --> 00:28:04,058
Troy was with her before he went geriatric.

391
00:28:04,392 --> 00:28:07,520
- It's not exactly a smoking gun.
- It's worth a look.

392
00:28:07,687 --> 00:28:10,898
We could check out her old records.
See if there's anything strange.

393
00:28:12,316 --> 00:28:14,277
I'll start and I'll tell you what I find.

394
00:28:21,826 --> 00:28:23,953
Interesting choice.

395
00:28:24,161 --> 00:28:26,247
The count of monte cristo.

396
00:28:27,665 --> 00:28:31,544
Classic tale of a man whose past
comes back to haunt him.

397
00:28:33,254 --> 00:28:35,715
Why are you here, Lex?

398
00:28:37,717 --> 00:28:40,469
We're upgrading our
computer system at the plant.

399
00:28:40,636 --> 00:28:43,848
Thought we might donate
our old computers to Smallville high.

400
00:28:44,265 --> 00:28:46,267
You are not an alumnus.

401
00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:48,644
Call it a thank-you.

402
00:28:50,479 --> 00:28:54,734
You pushed me.
And in hindsight, I appreciate that.

403
00:28:54,901 --> 00:28:57,570
In some ways,
you're responsible for the man I am today.

404
00:28:57,778 --> 00:29:01,824
I'm not sure that's a
burden I care to take on.

405
00:29:01,991 --> 00:29:06,037
Besides the tax deduction,
what's the quid pro quo?

406
00:29:06,829 --> 00:29:09,624
Now, why do you think
I want anything in return?

407
00:29:09,790 --> 00:29:14,128
Because I've learned there's always a price
when dealing with the Luthors.

408
00:29:15,630 --> 00:29:19,884
Stop turning your antagonism towards me
against Clark Kent.

409
00:29:21,719 --> 00:29:23,721
Lionel has taught you well.

410
00:29:23,888 --> 00:29:27,642
- My father?
- Yes. This meeting?

411
00:29:27,808 --> 00:29:31,520
It reminds me of the incident
that almost got you expelled.

412
00:29:31,687 --> 00:29:35,274
- He had nothing to do with that.
- No, only later.

413
00:29:35,942 --> 00:29:38,611
After receiving notice of
your expulsion hearing,

414
00:29:38,778 --> 00:29:43,491
he generously offered the trustees
a new library, with two conditions:

415
00:29:43,658 --> 00:29:48,120
That you were allowed to stay,
and I was allowed to go.

416
00:29:50,665 --> 00:29:54,210
History has an interesting way
of repeating itself, doesn't it?

417
00:30:06,514 --> 00:30:09,100
Clark, I hope I'm not interrupting.

418
00:30:09,433 --> 00:30:14,689
I could use the inspiration. I thought
you'd be swamped with party prep by now.

419
00:30:14,855 --> 00:30:18,526
I was heading over to the Talon,
but this arrived at my house.

420
00:30:20,444 --> 00:30:24,156
I asked Lex to look into
those photos of my mother.

421
00:30:24,782 --> 00:30:27,284
You think there's more
to it than meets the eye?

422
00:30:27,451 --> 00:30:30,997
I don't know, he sent me this.
I haven't opened it yet.

423
00:30:31,163 --> 00:30:34,709
As badly as I want the truth,
I'm afraid I won't like what I find.

424
00:30:34,875 --> 00:30:36,252
Why the change of heart?

425
00:30:36,961 --> 00:30:40,715
The image of my parents the way
I thought they were is all I have.

426
00:30:40,881 --> 00:30:43,384
You don't want to lose that.

427
00:30:43,551 --> 00:30:46,345
Maybe just by doubting, I already have.

428
00:30:49,348 --> 00:30:52,226
How are things with your grandfather?

429
00:30:52,393 --> 00:30:54,228
"Disaster" is an understatement.

430
00:30:54,395 --> 00:30:58,566
I took him to see my father.
It was like watching history repeat itself.

431
00:30:58,733 --> 00:31:00,234
So, what's next?

432
00:31:01,068 --> 00:31:03,112
I hate to see it end like this.

433
00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:06,365
But I can't control the way
they act around each other.

434
00:31:06,532 --> 00:31:08,075
Are you gonna try again?

435
00:31:08,576 --> 00:31:10,286
I can't do anything about the past.

436
00:31:10,453 --> 00:31:13,122
Maybe I can do something about the future.

437
00:31:19,754 --> 00:31:20,755
Clark.

438
00:31:20,838 --> 00:31:25,092
I don't want our relationship to end
before it ever had a chance to begin.

439
00:31:25,551 --> 00:31:28,429
Well, you can come in if you want.

440
00:31:29,597 --> 00:31:33,642
But you'll have to excuse me,
I'm running a little late.

441
00:31:37,688 --> 00:31:40,733
There's something I wanted to show you.

442
00:31:41,525 --> 00:31:43,194
It's our photo album.

443
00:31:43,277 --> 00:31:47,948
School plays, camping trips, backyard
activities, stuff that families do together.

444
00:31:51,118 --> 00:31:53,913
I wanted you to see
our family the way I do.

445
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,624
We're more than old
arguments and overdue bills.

446
00:31:58,959 --> 00:32:01,462
I'd like you to give this to your mother.

447
00:32:01,629 --> 00:32:05,466
It's a cashier's check. Tell her
she can use it now, a year from now,

448
00:32:05,633 --> 00:32:09,970
- whenever she needs it.
- Why don't you give it to her yourself?

449
00:32:10,471 --> 00:32:11,972
I'm sorry, Clark.

450
00:32:12,306 --> 00:32:17,686
I don't understand how a man who hasn't
seen his family in 20 years can walk away.

451
00:32:25,945 --> 00:32:30,116
- Krissy, I need to talk to you.
- Is there a problem, Mr. Reynolds?

452
00:32:30,282 --> 00:32:33,327
I left three messages for your parents,
still no answer.

453
00:32:33,494 --> 00:32:34,954
They've been really busy.

454
00:32:35,121 --> 00:32:38,332
- Is this still about my transcripts?
- And you.

455
00:32:38,582 --> 00:32:42,086
I've been making an effort
to get to know the students and parents.

456
00:32:42,253 --> 00:32:45,506
Maybe I can come by your house
this weekend when they're home.

457
00:32:45,673 --> 00:32:47,842
They'll be at the Talon for the rally.

458
00:32:48,008 --> 00:32:53,180
- You could meet us before the party.
- That'll be fine. See you there.

459
00:33:09,363 --> 00:33:11,699
Where have you been?
I left you six messages.

460
00:33:11,866 --> 00:33:16,412
- Sorry, it's been a weird day.
- It's about to get weirder. Take a look.

461
00:33:16,996 --> 00:33:18,998
Florida, 12 years ago, Piper high school.

462
00:33:19,165 --> 00:33:22,793
Three students died of the same
mysterious fiber-progeria.

463
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,005
All in a 48-hour period.
Let me guess, krissy was involved.

464
00:33:26,338 --> 00:33:27,673
Try "missy."

465
00:33:28,799 --> 00:33:30,885
Class of '90, missy Parker.

466
00:33:31,051 --> 00:33:34,471
- Different name, same face.
- Yeah, it gets better.

467
00:33:34,930 --> 00:33:38,058
Lakewood high, class of '81...
There she is again.

468
00:33:39,310 --> 00:33:42,897
You won't believe this.
I matched krissy to triple progeria cases,

469
00:33:43,063 --> 00:33:46,692
going back to Hammond
school for girls, class of 1921.

470
00:33:46,859 --> 00:33:49,320
It's like she feeds off
youth to stay young.

471
00:33:49,486 --> 00:33:53,073
Takes the Peter Pan
complex to a whole new level.

472
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,494
Troy was killed almost two days ago,
Russell was killed yesterday.

473
00:33:57,661 --> 00:34:00,748
- Krissy's gonna need another victim.
- I'll call the police.

474
00:34:15,721 --> 00:34:16,972
J“ get ready to bounce j“

475
00:34:17,973 --> 00:34:21,143
j“ be aggressive
b-e aggressive j“

476
00:34:21,227 --> 00:34:25,397
j“ b-e a-g-g-r-e—s-s-i—v—e
aggressive... j“

477
00:34:25,481 --> 00:34:27,233
krissy?

478
00:34:41,330 --> 00:34:43,249
Krissy?

479
00:34:44,458 --> 00:34:46,418
Mr. Reynolds.

480
00:34:46,585 --> 00:34:48,671
So, what do you think?

481
00:34:48,837 --> 00:34:52,800
I think you've taken spirit week
to a whole new level.

482
00:34:53,550 --> 00:34:57,888
- Are your parents here yet?
- Actually, Mr. Reynolds,

483
00:34:58,055 --> 00:35:00,224
they died. Over a century ago.

484
00:35:00,641 --> 00:35:02,309
What are you talking about?

485
00:35:02,476 --> 00:35:06,522
See, I've seen the future, Mr. Reynolds,
again and again,

486
00:35:06,647 --> 00:35:08,816
and I've learned one thing:

487
00:35:13,696 --> 00:35:17,741
These are the best years of anyone's life.

488
00:35:23,580 --> 00:35:26,041
Clark, thought you were the band.

489
00:35:26,333 --> 00:35:30,838
If they don't show, we're stuck with
a half-dozen mp3s and my boom box.

490
00:35:31,005 --> 00:35:32,673
Have you seen krissy?

491
00:35:33,382 --> 00:35:36,218
Yeah, she was just here.

492
00:35:45,644 --> 00:35:50,065
- What's going on?
- Just go look the door, don't let anyone in.

493
00:35:52,192 --> 00:35:55,112
Krissy, stop! I know what's going on.

494
00:35:55,571 --> 00:35:57,239
You need help.

495
00:35:58,574 --> 00:36:01,076
I need him.

496
00:36:06,248 --> 00:36:09,376
I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone else.

497
00:36:09,543 --> 00:36:12,087
I am saving them, Clark.

498
00:36:12,254 --> 00:36:15,716
From lives that will never be as happy
as they are right now.

499
00:36:16,008 --> 00:36:19,970
- There's more to life than cheerleading.
- You're wrong.

500
00:36:20,846 --> 00:36:25,768
You will never be this
young, this beautiful...

501
00:36:26,602 --> 00:36:29,271
Or this perfect again.

502
00:37:09,937 --> 00:37:12,022
- More bills, huh, dad?
- Yeah.

503
00:37:12,189 --> 00:37:14,900
Seems like these darned things
keep right on coming.

504
00:37:15,067 --> 00:37:18,112
Clark, you've had quite a week.
Any fallout from school?

505
00:37:18,278 --> 00:37:21,698
- Spirit week is officially kaput.
- I'm sorry to hear that.

506
00:37:21,865 --> 00:37:23,283
Principal's gonna be okay.

507
00:37:23,450 --> 00:37:26,995
He warned me about being late
when they loaded him into the ambulance.

508
00:37:27,579 --> 00:37:31,333
I know the situation with your grandpa
is bugging you. It should, but...

509
00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:32,751
I went to go see him.

510
00:37:35,671 --> 00:37:38,382
He asked me to give this to you.

511
00:37:41,718 --> 00:37:45,347
He said he tried to get involved
in my life after the adoption.

512
00:37:45,514 --> 00:37:48,100
Why wouldn't you let him see me?

513
00:37:48,267 --> 00:37:49,685
Well, it's complicated.

514
00:37:49,852 --> 00:37:52,312
It can't be that complicated,
he's my grandfather.

515
00:37:54,231 --> 00:37:57,234
Clark, when you were a little boy,

516
00:37:57,401 --> 00:38:00,320
you couldn't control
your abilities like now.

517
00:38:00,487 --> 00:38:05,075
If he'd spent any time with us, I think
he might have found out your secret.

518
00:38:05,242 --> 00:38:06,618
He's family.

519
00:38:06,785 --> 00:38:09,913
We had such a history
of disagreeing on things,

520
00:38:09,997 --> 00:38:13,167
we just didn't know how he'd react.

521
00:38:13,333 --> 00:38:16,670
We couldn't be sure we could trust him.

522
00:38:17,129 --> 00:38:20,466
So he's not a part of
our lives because of me?

523
00:38:21,175 --> 00:38:25,762
Son, every young man wants to have
a relationship with his grandpa.

524
00:38:26,138 --> 00:38:29,725
But in your case, it
just may not be possible.

525
00:38:41,487 --> 00:38:42,946
Lana.

526
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,450
- Working on something important?
- Just finished my essay.

527
00:38:46,617 --> 00:38:51,413
- So where you gonna be in five years?
- In college, probably studying journalism.

528
00:38:51,955 --> 00:38:53,290
You're kidding.

529
00:38:53,874 --> 00:38:56,418
Don't tell Chloe,
but I think it's growing on me.

530
00:38:56,585 --> 00:39:00,339
I like to find the truth behind things.
I'm tired of having secrets in my life.

531
00:39:00,964 --> 00:39:02,341
And personally?

532
00:39:02,424 --> 00:39:05,260
J“ we laid underneath the stars... j“

533
00:39:05,344 --> 00:39:10,140
I've decided I'm gonna find a way
to have a relationship with my grandfather.

534
00:39:11,350 --> 00:39:14,061
How about you, is everything okay?

535
00:39:14,770 --> 00:39:17,356
Clark, I read Lex's file.

536
00:39:17,523 --> 00:39:21,151
According to court papers,
my parents filed for divorce in 1985.

537
00:39:21,318 --> 00:39:23,237
Irreconcilable differences.

538
00:39:23,403 --> 00:39:26,240
- But they worked it out, right?
- Eventually.

539
00:39:26,406 --> 00:39:29,493
But they were legally
separated for over a year.

540
00:39:30,244 --> 00:39:33,705
- So the guy in the picture?
- Could be more than a friend.

541
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,671
I was born right after my parents
got back together.

542
00:39:40,754 --> 00:39:43,423
J“ I know you're out there... j“

543
00:39:43,507 --> 00:39:45,259
my father could still be alive.

544
00:39:45,342 --> 00:39:52,224
J“ you're falling out of reach
defying gravity, yeah j“

545
00:39:52,307 --> 00:39:56,645
j“ I know you're out there
somewhere out there j“

546
00:39:56,728 --> 00:39:59,773
j“ you're falling back to me j“

547
00:39:59,856 --> 00:40:04,236
j“ the star that I can see, yeah j“

548
00:40:04,319 --> 00:40:08,865
j“ I know you're out there
somewhere out there j“

549
00:40:11,910 --> 00:40:14,746
j“ you're falling out of reach j“

550
00:40:14,830 --> 00:40:17,958
j“ oh, I know j“
