I'm glad I could help out.

169
00:15:07,574 --> 00:15:09,910
I'm sorry. I don't even know your name.

Jonathan Kent.

171
00:15:12,245 --> 00:15:16,917
Nice to meet you, Mr. Kent.
If there's ever anything I can do for you,

172
00:15:17,292 --> 00:15:19,294
please, call me.

173
00:15:23,048 --> 00:15:24,925
I mean that, Mr. Kent.

174
00:15:35,602 --> 00:15:37,646
Dad, you were a hero.

175
00:15:37,813 --> 00:15:40,816
I don't know why you thought
you had to keep that a secret from me.

Ethan. Is there something
we can do for you?

179
00:15:57,916 --> 00:16:02,254
I'm sure you know there's a woman
in town claiming to be Clark's mother.

180
00:16:02,420 --> 00:16:05,173
Well, she's petitioned judge Ross
to order a DNA test.

181
00:16:06,007 --> 00:16:10,387
- But that's crazy. She's not my mother.
- [Ethan] This test will prove it, son.

182
00:16:10,554 --> 00:16:14,057
I can have somebody come out and
take the sample to Metropolis genetics lab.

183
00:16:14,224 --> 00:16:17,769
They can run the test in the morning,
we can get this thing over with quick.

nothing to be afraid of.

No. They're dumping there.

You had to do it, Clark. If we'd refused,
they'd have dragged us into court.

put you through all this.

was gonna come back to haunt us.

there's a reason he's here.

believe in magic wands?

laid eyes on this little boy.

- Evening, Jonathan.
- Ethan.

your attention a lot more than we...

- He got away from me. He's strong.

- That's, uh...
- Clark.

I thought my family name
would make a good first name.

00:23:05,593 --> 00:23:10,348
Deputy, I would like you to be the
first one in Smallville to meet our son.

Adopted, of course. We just brought him
back from Metropolis this morning.

I didn't know you folks
were planning to adopt.

Oh, Ethan, you know us,
we like to keep to ourselves.

But it's been in the
works for quite a while.

Well, congratulations.

in the middle of all this tragedy.

He was right.

273
00:23:47,885 --> 00:23:50,638
You were the one good thing
that happened that day.

274
00:23:55,018 --> 00:23:57,520
So you just made it up, spur of the moment.

275
00:23:57,687 --> 00:24:00,523
I couldn't say we'd
found you in a corn field.

276
00:24:00,690 --> 00:24:04,902
Once the words came out, I knew
we'd have to back them up eventually.

277
00:24:05,069 --> 00:24:10,408
So we called Lionel Luthor, cashed
in that favor. He arranged everything.

278
00:24:10,950 --> 00:24:13,578
If everything worked out,
why'd you keep it secret?

279
00:24:13,745 --> 00:24:18,124
Hey, I hope I'm not interrupting
anything important.

280
00:24:19,375 --> 00:24:21,085
Not at all, Lex.

a pretty decent player on my own.

00:24:31,429 --> 00:24:33,306
Rachel dunlevy came to see me.

285
00:24:35,266 --> 00:24:38,811
She says you and I have
a few chromosomes in common.

286
00:24:38,978 --> 00:24:42,523
My father's chromosomes, to be exact.

287
00:24:43,024 --> 00:24:44,942
You mean...?

288
00:24:45,109 --> 00:24:47,695
Personally, I think I got
all the looks in the family.

289
00:24:50,782 --> 00:24:53,409
I don't know what happened
between her and your father,

290
00:24:53,576 --> 00:24:56,704
- but she's not my mother.
- Trust me, I'm as skeptical as you are.

291
00:24:56,871 --> 00:25:01,292
For all I know, this is an elaborate scheme
to win a paternity suit against my father.

292
00:25:01,459 --> 00:25:03,252
Did you ask him about it?

293
00:25:03,419 --> 00:25:06,422
I didn't want to make any accusations
until I had more facts.

294
00:25:06,589 --> 00:25:07,924
It's not hard to imagine.

295
00:25:08,091 --> 00:25:13,179
In the annals of extramarital exploits,
my father probably has his own chapter.

296
00:25:17,892 --> 00:25:21,646
It doesn't bother you? I mean, I know
how close you were to your mother.

297
00:25:22,105 --> 00:25:24,649
To the extent that it
caused my mother pain,

298
00:25:24,816 --> 00:25:26,859
sure, it bothers me.

299
00:25:27,026 --> 00:25:32,365
Unfortunately, not every marriage is quite
as rockwellian as Jonathan and Martha Kent's.

300
00:25:35,743 --> 00:25:39,372
Anyway, I told Ms. Dunlevy
that in the 21st century,

301
00:25:39,539 --> 00:25:42,959
people shouldn't make claims like hers
without the DNA to back them up.

302
00:25:46,337 --> 00:25:49,298
So, what do you think, Clark?

303
00:25:51,259 --> 00:25:53,386
No chance we could be brothers?

304
00:25:55,221 --> 00:25:58,015
As cool as that would be, Lex, we're not.

305
00:26:10,570 --> 00:26:14,699
When the guard called and told me
you were down at the gate,

306
00:26:14,866 --> 00:26:17,243
I didn't believe him.
We had an agreement.

307
00:26:17,410 --> 00:26:19,495
I just got the results from the DNA test.

308
00:26:19,662 --> 00:26:22,123
I don't know how,
but you did something to alter them.

309
00:26:22,290 --> 00:26:25,084
Did what? What are you talking about?

310
00:26:25,251 --> 00:26:27,545
Clark Kent is our son, and you know that!

311
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:34,010
You haven't changed, Rachel.
You are still completely irrational.

312
00:26:34,177 --> 00:26:39,015
No, the only irrational thing that I ever
did was to let you rip my child from my arms.

313
00:26:39,182 --> 00:26:41,976
You were well-compensated
and well taken care of.

314
00:26:42,143 --> 00:26:44,979
You think money made up for
seven years in a psychiatric ward?

315
00:26:45,146 --> 00:26:46,439
You needed help.

316
00:26:46,564 --> 00:26:49,400
No, what I needed was a home and a family.

317
00:26:49,567 --> 00:26:52,278
After you were through with me
that wasn't going to happen.

Not with Lucas, not with anybody.

319
00:26:54,238 --> 00:26:56,115
Why didn't you continue your treatment?

320
00:26:56,282 --> 00:26:59,911
I didn't need any treatment.
You just wanted me out of the way.

321

I'm gonna expose you.

Expose me? To whom?
My wife is dead. You know that.

Oh, you were lovely.

326

You have to move on.

Forget the past.

If you need help,
I'd be happy to call Dr. Friedberg.

to make room for you at the clinic.

We're talking about Rachel dunlevy.

499
00:41:22,981 --> 00:41:25,651
Did she bear your illegitimate son or not?

500
00:41:27,110 --> 00:41:29,655
I never knew she was pregnant.

501
00:41:29,821 --> 00:41:33,909
Then she reappeared one day
with a child she claimed was mine,

502
00:41:34,076 --> 00:41:37,579
demanding that I leave
your mother and marry her.

503
00:41:39,998 --> 00:41:42,501
So you bribed her
to give the child up for adoption.

504
00:41:42,668 --> 00:41:45,671
She was imbalanced. She threatened me.

505
00:41:45,837 --> 00:41:48,298
Your mother was too sick
to burden her with a scandal.

506
00:41:49,424 --> 00:41:51,385
Your altruism is inspiring, dad.

507
00:41:51,593 --> 00:41:54,721
I did what I thought best for everyone.

508
00:41:54,805 --> 00:41:57,182
I had the child placed
with a suitable family.

509
00:41:58,308 --> 00:42:00,977
- Not the kents?
- The kents?

510
00:42:01,770 --> 00:42:03,689
- Don't be ridiculous.
- Then where is he?

511
00:42:09,778 --> 00:42:11,279
He, uh...

512
00:42:15,867 --> 00:42:17,411
Before his first birthday.

513
00:42:26,336 --> 00:42:28,922
Forgive me, Lex, I'm very tired.

514
00:42:30,090 --> 00:42:32,008
It's been a long day.

515
00:42:35,053 --> 00:42:37,139
Sure, dad.

516
00:42:37,222 --> 00:42:40,225
