1
00:00:20,980 --> 00:00:24,192
Reporting for kpaz, Kansas City, Kansas.

2
00:00:24,275 --> 00:00:26,277
Scientists are calling today's impact

3
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,906
one of the most significant
astronomical events of the last century.

4
00:00:30,072 --> 00:00:33,784
The enormous solar flare
has already caused power surges...

5
00:00:33,951 --> 00:00:35,620
Clark!

6
00:00:36,287 --> 00:00:38,664
Hey, Clark.
Son, you wanna give us a hand here?

7
00:00:38,831 --> 00:00:41,792
Yeah. Sorry, I must've got sucked in.

8
00:00:41,959 --> 00:00:44,295
You caught me in the middle
of this news special.

9
00:00:44,462 --> 00:00:46,130
What's the topic?

10
00:00:46,297 --> 00:00:48,883
Solar flares and the effects
on earth's atmosphere.

11
00:00:48,966 --> 00:00:51,552
According to NASA, the sun
took a direct hit from a comet today,

12
00:00:51,636 --> 00:00:53,971
causing one of the
biggest solar flares ever.

13
00:00:54,055 --> 00:00:55,348
Ooh, you sound intrigued.

14
00:00:55,431 --> 00:01:00,686
Actually, it's a relief to be researching a
cosmic disaster that has nothing to do with me.

15
00:01:01,646 --> 00:01:04,565
I gotta go. I told Pete I'd meet him
at the Talon to swap notes.

16
00:01:04,732 --> 00:01:08,486
- You need a ride?
- No, I think I'll run it. Bye.

17
00:01:08,569 --> 00:01:09,695
- Bye.
- Bye.

18
00:01:09,862 --> 00:01:14,158
Precipitates huge explosions
with powerful, far-reached effects.

19
00:01:14,242 --> 00:01:16,702
The shock wave from this type
of cme is so strong

20
00:01:16,869 --> 00:01:21,624
that it smashes the earth's magnetic field,
unleashing a geomagnetic storm.

21
00:01:21,707 --> 00:01:24,210
In layman's terms,
people should expect...

22
00:01:24,293 --> 00:01:27,505
Do you believe that there are powers
greater than we can know

23
00:01:27,672 --> 00:01:29,757
somewhere in the universe?

24
00:01:29,924 --> 00:01:31,467
Sure.

25
00:01:32,510 --> 00:01:35,680
Look, do you mind
if I switch back to the game?

26
00:01:37,598 --> 00:01:40,059
On the sharks 20 yard line...

27
00:01:40,142 --> 00:01:44,772
That's one small step for man,
one giant leap for the Metropolis sharks.

28
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,195
To littleville, Kansas

29
00:01:51,362 --> 00:01:53,823
and all the little "kans-ass-Ians" in it.

30
00:01:56,951 --> 00:01:59,870
- One more.
- Look, we don't want any trouble here.

31
00:02:00,037 --> 00:02:02,373
I think you might have had enough.

32
00:02:02,873 --> 00:02:06,502
If you want trouble,
you just try cutting me off.

33
00:02:06,585 --> 00:02:09,672
J“ I love this bar j“

34
00:02:09,755 --> 00:02:13,509
j“ it's my kind of place... j'

35
00:02:15,553 --> 00:02:16,971
Don't come back.

36
00:02:18,973 --> 00:02:21,726
Small-town friendly, my butt.

37
00:02:35,906 --> 00:02:38,034
No, I'll find it.

38
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,119
Yeah, I know. This...

39
00:02:40,745 --> 00:02:43,914
Yeah. Uh, no. No, I have not been drinking.

40
00:02:44,081 --> 00:02:46,042
Thank you for caring.

41
00:03:31,295 --> 00:03:32,546
You okay?

42
00:03:32,713 --> 00:03:36,759
You pulled the door right off the car
with your bare hands?

43
00:03:37,426 --> 00:03:42,306
- You walked right through the power lines.
- You're a little drunk, Mr...

44
00:03:45,309 --> 00:03:47,520
Perry white.

45
00:03:50,314 --> 00:03:55,361
J“ somebody save me j“

46
00:03:56,862 --> 00:04:00,741
j“ let your warm hands
break right through it j“

47
00:04:00,825 --> 00:04:05,454
j“ somebody save me j“

48
00:04:07,206 --> 00:04:11,001
j“ I don't care how you do it j“

49
00:04:11,085 --> 00:04:15,631
-j“ just stay, stay j“
-j“ stay with me j“

50
00:04:15,714 --> 00:04:21,303
j“ come on, I've been waiting for you j“

51
00:04:21,387 --> 00:04:25,266
j“ to stay with me j“

52
00:04:26,934 --> 00:04:31,397
j“ I made this whole world shine for you j“

53
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,693
j“ stay, stay j“

54
00:04:35,776 --> 00:04:38,863
j“ come on j“

55
00:05:15,024 --> 00:05:16,692
Oh.

56
00:05:16,859 --> 00:05:20,029
- Take it easy, Clark.
- I misjudged my strength.

57
00:05:20,196 --> 00:05:21,989
I just got off the phone with the hospital.

58
00:05:22,072 --> 00:05:25,159
It seems your Mr. Perry white
checked himself out last night.

59
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:27,161
His breathalyzer was off the charts.

60
00:05:27,286 --> 00:05:31,665
- What do you think he saw, son?
- He probably doesn't remember my name.

61
00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:34,752
Clark! Clark Kent!

62
00:05:36,128 --> 00:05:37,338
Thank you.

63
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,260
Yeah.

64
00:05:44,261 --> 00:05:45,429
Last time I saw you,

65
00:05:45,513 --> 00:05:49,099
you were frisbee-ing the door off my car
and ignoring the high-voltage lines.

66
00:05:50,518 --> 00:05:53,103
I was trying to figure out
which of the four Clarks to thank

67
00:05:53,187 --> 00:05:54,827
when they hauled me off in the ambulance.

68
00:05:54,897 --> 00:05:56,607
- You must be Mr. Kent.
- Yes, I am.

69
00:05:56,774 --> 00:06:00,236
- I'm certainly glad you're feeling better.
- Well, that's relative.

70
00:06:00,402 --> 00:06:01,904
My car is crunched.

71
00:06:02,071 --> 00:06:07,076
This hillbilly cartoon you have as a
sheriff has suspended my license on a dui,

72
00:06:07,243 --> 00:06:09,912
and my assignment editor
is screaming for my head.

73
00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:11,664
You're a reporter?

74
00:06:11,914 --> 00:06:14,083
In a past life.

75
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:17,586
At the moment,
I'm the advance man for x—styles,

76
00:06:17,753 --> 00:06:20,422
cable TV's one stop
for the paranormally inclined.

77
00:06:20,589 --> 00:06:22,174
What brings you here to Smallville?

78
00:06:22,341 --> 00:06:24,760
Oh, I'm researching a piece
about the meteor shower

79
00:06:24,927 --> 00:06:27,596
and the bizarre phenomena that it spawned.

80
00:06:27,763 --> 00:06:32,142
- Don't tell me you believe any of that.
- It's right up there with the tooth fairy.

81
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:40,776
Don't you need tools for a job like that?

82
00:06:41,610 --> 00:06:45,864
Uh, Mr. White, you really didn't come
all this way just to thank me, did you?

83
00:06:46,782 --> 00:06:49,952
No, I didn't.
I thought we should discuss a settlement.

84
00:06:50,035 --> 00:06:53,956
- Settlement?
- I didn't off-road my car for laughs.

85
00:06:54,123 --> 00:06:56,208
I swerved to miss your son.

86
00:06:58,460 --> 00:06:59,962
Look, I'll make this easy on you.

87
00:07:00,045 --> 00:07:04,008
I need a local who knows the territory
to ferry me around.

88
00:07:04,174 --> 00:07:07,469
You loan me Clark for a couple days,
we'll call it even.

89
00:07:14,393 --> 00:07:16,520
My father went
for historical accuracy

90
00:07:16,604 --> 00:07:19,440
when he had the mansion reconstructed

91
00:07:19,607 --> 00:07:22,985
but I was thinking of taking
some liberties with the décor.

92
00:07:23,152 --> 00:07:27,072
Move away from the artifacts
and period pieces

93
00:07:27,239 --> 00:07:29,283
and go with something more modern.

94
00:07:29,450 --> 00:07:31,619
Even abstract.

95
00:07:31,994 --> 00:07:33,871
Any thoughts, doctor?

96
00:07:34,038 --> 00:07:36,749
Only that I hoped today's session
would be more productive.

97
00:07:36,915 --> 00:07:40,461
Mm. I believe the psychological term

98
00:07:40,628 --> 00:07:44,214
for, uh, refusing to accept
the inevitable is "denial."

99
00:07:44,381 --> 00:07:48,010
And no amount of probing can
uncover emotional issues that don't exist.

100
00:07:48,177 --> 00:07:52,222
- Now who's in denial?
- Trust me, I have nothing to hide.

101
00:07:53,807 --> 00:07:55,517
Then tell me about the island.

102
00:07:55,684 --> 00:08:00,356
The fisherman who found you said you
were raving about some imaginary enemy.

103
00:08:01,023 --> 00:08:03,442
I was ill, suffering from malaria.

104
00:08:03,609 --> 00:08:07,571
I saw your blood work, Lex.
There was no trace of disease.

105
00:08:07,863 --> 00:08:11,408
But even some fictitious illness
would not explain your reluctance

106
00:08:11,575 --> 00:08:15,537
to discuss your conflicted feelings
towards your father. Until we under...

107
00:08:15,704 --> 00:08:19,625
What I understand, doctor,
is that LuthorCorp's insurance carrier

108
00:08:19,792 --> 00:08:23,796
insisted that I submit
to five psychiatric therapy sessions.

109
00:08:25,047 --> 00:08:26,715
So I've submitted.

110
00:08:28,884 --> 00:08:32,846
And sadly, our final hour is up.

111
00:08:33,972 --> 00:08:36,058
I'll miss our sessions.

112
00:08:54,910 --> 00:08:57,413
Two meteor craters?
You don't wanna see anything else?

113
00:08:57,579 --> 00:09:00,499
Well, blown-out buildings and sinkholes
are background, Clark.

114
00:09:00,666 --> 00:09:04,378
I'm looking for substance, texture...

115
00:09:05,003 --> 00:09:07,214
The human dimension.

116
00:09:07,506 --> 00:09:09,383
Clark, is everything all right?

117
00:09:09,550 --> 00:09:12,177
Pete waited for you
until after 10:00 last night.

118
00:09:12,344 --> 00:09:15,723
- Uh, it's a long story.
- Hi. Perry white.

119
00:09:15,806 --> 00:09:20,102
I'd like a triple cappuccino
and a couple of those glazed crullers,

120
00:09:20,185 --> 00:09:22,938
and an interview...

121
00:09:23,397 --> 00:09:26,150
With Smallville's very own cover girl.

122
00:09:30,446 --> 00:09:32,448
What are you doing?

123
00:09:32,740 --> 00:09:34,366
It's called getting the story.

124
00:09:34,533 --> 00:09:37,119
Nothing fancy, miss lang,
just a simple o and a.

125
00:09:37,536 --> 00:09:42,458
You know, uh, how's little miss meteor
coping 14 years after the big bang?

126
00:09:43,667 --> 00:09:47,963
Maybe this is a joke to you,
but my parents died that day.

127
00:09:48,130 --> 00:09:50,340
And I'm sorry,
but that makes you newsworthy.

128
00:09:51,967 --> 00:09:53,635
That's it. You're leaving.

129
00:09:54,261 --> 00:09:57,639
Either she talks to me now,
or she faces the cameras in the morning.

130
00:09:57,806 --> 00:10:00,225
- Clark, I can't believe you're with him.
- Lana.

131
00:10:00,392 --> 00:10:02,770
Maybe you should both leave.

132
00:10:03,979 --> 00:10:06,398
You didn't tell me
Lana was part of your agenda.

133
00:10:06,482 --> 00:10:08,484
You didn't tell me you knew her.

134
00:10:08,650 --> 00:10:11,487
Sorry if I hurt her feelings,
but she's a legitimate source.

135
00:10:11,653 --> 00:10:13,781
- She's not anymore.
- It doesn't work that way.

136
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:16,533
I still have to find
faces to put on camera.

137
00:10:16,617 --> 00:10:19,036
Your high school paper
has developed quite a rep

138
00:10:19,203 --> 00:10:22,664
- in the bug-eyed monster circles.
- Why would you say that?

139
00:10:23,165 --> 00:10:27,336
Because I did, like, three minutes
of research before I came to town.

140
00:10:27,503 --> 00:10:30,339
Think the editor would know something
about the meteor shower?

141
00:10:30,506 --> 00:10:32,257
How would I know?

142
00:10:33,592 --> 00:10:37,513
”Principal authorizes new gym mats'
by Clark Kent."

143
00:10:38,013 --> 00:10:40,432
I know I was riveted.

144
00:10:46,605 --> 00:10:48,148
I think we should go.

145
00:10:48,315 --> 00:10:51,819
Boy, I thought our stuff was off-the-wall.
This is incredible.

146
00:10:51,985 --> 00:10:53,904
It's also all true.

147
00:10:54,071 --> 00:10:56,865
Chloe, Mr. White is interested
in the meteor shower.

148
00:10:57,032 --> 00:10:59,660
- I thought he could take a look.
- I have nothing to hide.

149
00:10:59,827 --> 00:11:04,206
Oh, good. I think we've already borrowed
two or three of your ideas for our show.

150
00:11:04,373 --> 00:11:08,460
Now, do you make it all up yourself,
or do you pull in other writers?

151
00:11:09,461 --> 00:11:14,049
- Excuse me?
- Oh, just professional curiosity.

152
00:11:14,216 --> 00:11:17,344
It's rare that I meet anotherjunk
journalist with a penchant for the bizarre.

153
00:11:19,972 --> 00:11:21,252
I have a penchant for the truth,

154
00:11:21,306 --> 00:11:24,434
something your freaks and shrieks
cable show gave up around episode 2.

155
00:11:24,518 --> 00:11:26,687
That's it. We're done.

156
00:11:31,650 --> 00:11:33,777
Wait, wait, wait.

157
00:11:34,987 --> 00:11:37,489
You're the Perry white?

158
00:11:41,034 --> 00:11:43,161
It's okay.
I'm gonna hoof it back to the motel.

159
00:11:43,328 --> 00:11:44,955
You young lovers patch things up

160
00:11:45,122 --> 00:11:48,375
and then later on you can swing by,
and we'll pick up the tour, hm?

161
00:11:51,295 --> 00:11:54,923
Clark, do you have any idea who that was?

162
00:12:18,030 --> 00:12:21,825
- I'm sorry. I'm interrupting.
- No.

163
00:12:22,117 --> 00:12:23,952
It's strange.

164
00:12:24,119 --> 00:12:27,247
When I was on the island,
I came to hate the roar of the ocean.

165
00:12:27,581 --> 00:12:31,376
Since coming back,
I find it's the only thing that relaxes me.

166
00:12:32,794 --> 00:12:35,339
You must think about
what happened every day.

167
00:12:36,423 --> 00:12:39,801
And I'm sure you didn't come
all this way to discuss that.

168
00:12:42,763 --> 00:12:44,556
What did you wanna see me about?

169
00:12:45,641 --> 00:12:49,019
This tabloid television reporter
came by the Talon today

170
00:12:49,186 --> 00:12:53,148
and he wanted to do an interview with me
about the meteor shower.

171
00:12:53,357 --> 00:12:55,984
A succinct "no comment"
didn't dissuade him?

172
00:12:57,194 --> 00:12:58,528
Not really.

173
00:12:58,612 --> 00:13:02,157
He said he'd come back tomorrow,
this time with a camera crew.

174
00:13:02,491 --> 00:13:04,159
And you don't want that.

175
00:13:04,660 --> 00:13:08,789
I've spent the last 14 years
trying to put that day behind me.

176
00:13:08,956 --> 00:13:11,500
And in an instant,

177
00:13:11,667 --> 00:13:13,251
he brought it all back.

178
00:13:15,837 --> 00:13:18,340
I know it's a lot to ask...

179
00:13:18,966 --> 00:13:22,844
But I was hoping
that you might be able to do something.

180
00:13:28,266 --> 00:13:30,852
I'm surprised you didn't
go to Clark with this.

181
00:13:31,395 --> 00:13:33,063
Clark's with him.

182
00:13:35,816 --> 00:13:37,943
So you want me to run him out of town?

183
00:13:39,444 --> 00:13:41,279
I want him to stop.

184
00:13:42,364 --> 00:13:44,658
He must've been very persistent.

185
00:13:44,825 --> 00:13:48,078
- What was his name?
- Perry white.

186
00:13:50,914 --> 00:13:53,375
I'll make sure he never bothers you again.

187
00:14:02,384 --> 00:14:05,178
Mr. White, I've been looking for you.

188
00:14:05,512 --> 00:14:07,014
And here I am.

189
00:14:07,180 --> 00:14:10,100
You may have the makings
of a reporter yet, Kent.

190
00:14:10,267 --> 00:14:11,893
Like you used to be?

191
00:14:13,562 --> 00:14:15,897
Chloe and I did some
checking after you left.

192
00:14:17,232 --> 00:14:21,069
Memories fade,
but a Google search never forgets.

193
00:14:21,236 --> 00:14:23,572
And another drink isn't
gonna erase the fact

194
00:14:23,739 --> 00:14:27,492
that you used to be
one of the best reporters in Metropolis.

195
00:14:27,868 --> 00:14:29,244
What happened?

196
00:14:30,704 --> 00:14:33,206
Life is a journey, grasshopper.

197
00:14:33,373 --> 00:14:36,668
And sometimes the trip
is smoother with a little lubricant.

198
00:14:38,128 --> 00:14:40,255
What's it to you, anyway?

199
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,301
Maybe it's the journalist in me...

200
00:14:44,468 --> 00:14:48,305
Or that I realized, if you have a gift,
you shouldn't turn your back on it.

201
00:14:51,141 --> 00:14:54,269
I made exactly two
mistakes in my life, kid.

202
00:14:54,436 --> 00:14:56,938
The first was getting into journalism.

203
00:14:57,272 --> 00:15:01,443
- What was the second?
- Thinking it mattered.

204
00:15:02,110 --> 00:15:05,572
- One more.
- No, he's had enough.

205
00:15:08,075 --> 00:15:10,118
I don't get you, kid.

206
00:15:10,285 --> 00:15:12,871
I strong-armed your parents,
picked on your girlfriend,

207
00:15:13,038 --> 00:15:14,664
and ticked off your lady editor.

208
00:15:14,831 --> 00:15:17,584
Still, here you are,
trying to play the hero.

209
00:15:17,751 --> 00:15:21,379
Sometimes Clark's faith in his
fellow man outweighs his common sense.

210
00:15:24,007 --> 00:15:25,300
Lex?

211
00:15:26,635 --> 00:15:29,554
It's all right, Clark.
I'll deal with Mr. White from here.

212
00:15:29,638 --> 00:15:31,640
I may have underestimated you, kid.

213
00:15:32,974 --> 00:15:34,976
Clark doesn't have
anything to do with this.

214
00:15:35,060 --> 00:15:38,980
Look, if this is your old man's idea, tell
him I got the message back in Metropolis.

215
00:15:39,147 --> 00:15:42,609
- I have no intention of revisiting the past.
- This isn't about my father.

216
00:15:42,776 --> 00:15:46,279
- It's about you.
- Lex, don't you think you're overreacting?

217
00:15:46,446 --> 00:15:50,450
Considering the way he went after Lana,
I thought you'd admire my restraint.

218
00:15:52,828 --> 00:15:56,039
- Let's go.
- Thanks for the ride, kid.

219
00:16:19,771 --> 00:16:24,401
This "get out of dodge" routine
is pretty heavy-handed, even for a Luthor.

220
00:16:24,568 --> 00:16:27,779
So is ambushing a
teenage girl for a sound bite.

221
00:16:27,946 --> 00:16:30,907
Of course,
using people always came easy to you.

222
00:16:31,074 --> 00:16:34,077
You know,
our one and only encounter was years ago.

223
00:16:35,078 --> 00:16:38,039
Even in boarding school,
I was good at sniffing out reporters

224
00:16:38,206 --> 00:16:41,543
but you played the "just a friendly
conversation" card very well.

225
00:16:41,877 --> 00:16:45,088
As I recall, it was a full 10 minutes
before I told you to go to hell.

226
00:16:45,547 --> 00:16:48,800
I was just doing my job,
and you were a legitimate source.

227
00:16:48,967 --> 00:16:51,887
I was 16, and you were
scrounging for dirt on my father.

228
00:16:52,387 --> 00:16:54,723
That's what this is really about, isn't it?

229
00:16:54,890 --> 00:16:56,474
Your father's secrets?

230
00:16:57,851 --> 00:17:01,146
If you really had anything on him,
it would've come out then.

231
00:17:01,313 --> 00:17:04,566
If you actually believe that,
I almost feel sorry for you.

232
00:17:05,734 --> 00:17:07,903
Just make sure you're on the 4:00 bus.

233
00:17:28,006 --> 00:17:31,927
Well, so much for not drinking before 5.

234
00:17:32,761 --> 00:17:34,304
Hey, dad.

235
00:17:34,471 --> 00:17:36,056
Hey.

236
00:17:36,223 --> 00:17:38,767
Hey, Clark.
I wasn't expecting you till later.

237
00:17:38,934 --> 00:17:41,436
- Where's Mr. White?
- He left.

238
00:17:41,603 --> 00:17:45,315
I think he realized that Smallville wasn't
quite as friendly as he first thought.

239
00:17:45,565 --> 00:17:48,526
I've been trying to wrestle this thing
up on a block for an hour.

240
00:17:48,693 --> 00:17:50,654
- You wanna give me a hand?
- Sure.

241
00:18:03,708 --> 00:18:04,918
What's the matter?

242
00:18:05,877 --> 00:18:09,130
I don't know.
It's like I've lost all my strength.

243
00:18:11,049 --> 00:18:13,385
Why don't you give it one more try.

244
00:19:22,203 --> 00:19:24,748
You wanna tell me
how your tractor wound up scattered

245
00:19:24,914 --> 00:19:27,459
- over two lanes of county blacktop?
- Yeah.

246
00:19:27,542 --> 00:19:32,213
Uh, we were pulling up to the farm,
and saw somebody had put it on a flatbed.

247
00:19:32,380 --> 00:19:34,382
You're saying someone was stealing it?

248
00:19:34,549 --> 00:19:35,717
I tried to follow them.

249
00:19:35,884 --> 00:19:38,136
By the time I got here,
it must've fallen off.

250
00:19:38,303 --> 00:19:40,388
I'm telling you, it fell out of the sky.

251
00:19:41,598 --> 00:19:43,350
And last night,
you were begging the nurses

252
00:19:43,433 --> 00:19:45,977
to keep the flying
monkeys out of your room.

253
00:19:46,144 --> 00:19:49,105
Kid, you're saying
you had nothing to do with this?

254
00:19:49,564 --> 00:19:52,442
To be honest, sheriff,
I'm not sure what happened.

255
00:19:53,276 --> 00:19:55,612
Well, he's hiding something, chief.

256
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,494
There's another bus in about an hour.

257
00:20:02,660 --> 00:20:07,082
I suggest you catch it.
And don't call me "chief."

258
00:20:11,753 --> 00:20:14,214
I'm really sorry about the tractor.
It's a total loss.

259
00:20:14,381 --> 00:20:16,341
Clark, I'm not concerned about the tractor.

260
00:20:16,424 --> 00:20:18,468
Whatever's going on with your abilities,

261
00:20:18,635 --> 00:20:22,389
our family's wound up smack dab
in the middle of Perry white's radar.

262
00:20:33,191 --> 00:20:34,818
Wise decision coming inside.

263
00:20:34,984 --> 00:20:39,322
Weather service expects a shower
of machines followed by combines.

264
00:20:39,489 --> 00:20:41,699
Guess I deserve that.

265
00:20:43,159 --> 00:20:46,663
If you tell me what you're looking for,
I'm sure I could help you find it.

266
00:20:47,122 --> 00:20:48,873
Now, why would you wanna do that?

267
00:20:49,416 --> 00:20:53,169
Because you were once the kind of reporter
that I would like to be.

268
00:20:54,712 --> 00:20:58,091
Though I'm curious how one goes
from multiple pulitzer nominations

269
00:20:58,258 --> 00:21:00,468
to walking the bigfoot beat.

270
00:21:00,635 --> 00:21:04,347
You know the thing that's worse than
never landing that story of a lifetime?

271
00:21:04,514 --> 00:21:06,683
- What?
- Having it

272
00:21:06,850 --> 00:21:08,810
and being afraid to write it.

273
00:21:10,562 --> 00:21:14,065
Perry "the pit bull"
white backing off a story?

274
00:21:14,232 --> 00:21:15,692
That's hard to believe.

275
00:21:15,859 --> 00:21:18,778
Well, Lionel Luthor can
be remarkably persuasive.

276
00:21:22,699 --> 00:21:26,202
Are you saying he had something to do
with your career slide?

277
00:21:27,704 --> 00:21:31,666
Let's just say that not everyone respects
good investigative journalism,

278
00:21:31,833 --> 00:21:35,712
especially when it treads
on the toes of the rich and vengeful.

279
00:21:40,550 --> 00:21:42,385
Isn't that the Kent farm?

280
00:21:43,261 --> 00:21:45,388
Uh, good eye.

281
00:21:45,722 --> 00:21:50,560
The police chalked it up to hyperactive
frat boys going crop circles on the barn.

282
00:21:51,644 --> 00:21:52,937
Why?

283
00:21:53,813 --> 00:21:56,149
Call it professional interest.

284
00:21:56,316 --> 00:21:58,234
Your friend Clark intrigues me.

285
00:22:07,785 --> 00:22:09,454
You've thrown some hail Marys,

286
00:22:09,537 --> 00:22:13,249
but to think your problems have to do
with a solar flare? It's a stretch.

287
00:22:13,416 --> 00:22:17,086
I know, dad, but my powers started
to glitch when the comet impacted.

288
00:22:17,253 --> 00:22:20,215
- Maybe there's a connection.
- Make that "probably."

289
00:22:20,381 --> 00:22:21,758
- Did you find something?
- Yes.

290
00:22:21,925 --> 00:22:26,721
Yesterday's cosmic Fender-bender produced
the largest solar flare ever recorded.

291
00:22:26,846 --> 00:22:29,599
I'm talking communication glitches,
power surges...

292
00:22:29,766 --> 00:22:31,392
That's what's been happening to me.

293
00:22:31,559 --> 00:22:34,103
One second I'm helpless,
and the next, I'm in overdrive.

294
00:22:34,270 --> 00:22:37,774
Well, we always have wondered
about the source of your abilities.

295
00:22:38,399 --> 00:22:42,904
Maybe my strength and my speed, all the
things I can do, they come from the sun.

296
00:22:43,071 --> 00:22:45,782
It's like you're some sort
of walking solar battery.

297
00:22:45,949 --> 00:22:49,827
According to this, the effects of the solar
flare ought to be done by tomorrow night.

298
00:22:49,994 --> 00:22:51,829
Maybe your accidents are gonna stop.

299
00:22:52,205 --> 00:22:55,583
As long as I don't use my abilities
till then, we should be okay?

300
00:22:57,710 --> 00:23:00,463
Hey, Clark.
I thought I'd give you a heads-up.

301
00:23:00,630 --> 00:23:03,091
Our resident ghostbuster
is still on the job.

302
00:23:03,258 --> 00:23:04,509
Perry white?

303
00:23:06,094 --> 00:23:09,597
- I thought he went back to Metropolis.
- Evidently, he had a change of heart.

304
00:23:09,764 --> 00:23:13,393
And he seems to be
especially interested in you, Clark.

305
00:23:16,396 --> 00:23:18,773
What the hell are you trying to do?

306
00:23:19,107 --> 00:23:21,484
-Lex, calm down. —why?

307
00:23:21,651 --> 00:23:24,195
You've already made up your mind
about my mental state.

308
00:23:24,362 --> 00:23:27,490
You're refusing to sign off
on my psychological release.

309
00:23:27,657 --> 00:23:31,869
You're recommending even more sessions
to be continued on an indefinite basis?

310
00:23:32,036 --> 00:23:35,957
I have an ethical obligation
to report my conclusions honestly.

311
00:23:36,124 --> 00:23:39,502
Or maybe the nothing shrink
from Metropolis wanted more face time

312
00:23:39,669 --> 00:23:42,964
with her celebrity patient.
You must be loving this.

313
00:23:43,131 --> 00:23:45,133
I took no pleasure in my recommendation.

314
00:23:45,300 --> 00:23:48,720
- Then how do you explain it?
- I think you need help, Lex.

315
00:23:49,053 --> 00:23:50,763
Between the island, your failed marriage,

316
00:23:50,847 --> 00:23:53,207
and everything that's happened
since you came to Smallville,

317
00:23:53,349 --> 00:23:57,812
you have experienced
incredible emotional and physical trauma.

318
00:23:57,979 --> 00:24:00,189
And your prescription's
more time on the couch?

319
00:24:00,356 --> 00:24:03,026
We just spent five sessions
exploring my psyche.

320
00:24:03,192 --> 00:24:06,195
No, we spent five hours
discussing your art collection,

321
00:24:06,362 --> 00:24:08,364
your fascination with expensive cars,

322
00:24:08,531 --> 00:24:13,119
everything except the most
traumatic moments of your life.

323
00:24:13,286 --> 00:24:16,414
Lex, if you don't let your demons out,
they could consume you.

324
00:24:16,581 --> 00:24:20,168
- We've been over this, doctor.
- We haven't even scratched the surface.

325
00:24:20,335 --> 00:24:22,879
This control-freak thing
might fool your father,

326
00:24:23,046 --> 00:24:26,174
but did you really think you could snow me?

327
00:24:26,341 --> 00:24:28,509
- Lex, please...
- Get out.

328
00:24:28,718 --> 00:24:30,261
Get out!

329
00:24:43,524 --> 00:24:45,693
Morning, Clark.

330
00:24:46,152 --> 00:24:49,155
- What are you doing here?
- You inspired me.

331
00:24:49,322 --> 00:24:51,908
If you've got a gift, you
should use it, remember?

332
00:24:52,075 --> 00:24:53,910
- You're drunk.
- Maybe.

333
00:24:54,077 --> 00:24:57,789
Nonetheless, I finally found my story.

334
00:24:59,374 --> 00:25:01,292
For some insane reason, it's me.

335
00:25:01,459 --> 00:25:04,170
- Chloe told me. I don't think it's funny.
- It's not a joke.

336
00:25:04,337 --> 00:25:06,714
I got the facts to back it up.

337
00:25:06,881 --> 00:25:10,093
- What kind of facts are those?
- The accident, the power lines,

338
00:25:10,259 --> 00:25:13,596
your magical appearance as your
family's tractor drops out of the sky.

339
00:25:13,763 --> 00:25:17,100
- I explained that.
- "It fell off a truck."

340
00:25:17,266 --> 00:25:20,269
That's not an explanation,
that's a punch line.

341
00:25:20,436 --> 00:25:25,108
I spent the morning combing through
police records and newspaper stories.

342
00:25:25,274 --> 00:25:29,612
You're Johnny-on-the-spot, Clark.
You're Smallville's own hero on deck.

343
00:25:29,779 --> 00:25:32,782
Trust me, Mr. White,
there's nothing special about me.

344
00:25:32,949 --> 00:25:34,617
Oh, that's where you're wrong, kid.

345
00:25:34,784 --> 00:25:38,913
So far, I got you pegged
as really strong and shock-resistant.

346
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,916
Question is, what other tricks
have you got up your sleeve?

347
00:25:42,458 --> 00:25:45,837
Clark! Clark, could you give me a hand?

348
00:25:46,003 --> 00:25:48,047
I've gotta go.

349
00:25:48,297 --> 00:25:51,592
I've been stonewalled by the best of them!

350
00:25:54,011 --> 00:25:55,596
You can run, but you...

351
00:26:00,643 --> 00:26:02,854
Can't hide.

352
00:26:19,871 --> 00:26:22,623
- Clark, you all right, son?
- It's been a weird day.

353
00:26:22,790 --> 00:26:25,084
My light-speed gave out around lake Tahoe.

354
00:26:25,251 --> 00:26:27,211
- That's gotta be 1000 miles.
- I know.

355
00:26:27,295 --> 00:26:30,757
One second I'm racing across the country,
the next, I can barely jog.

356
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,427
I tried to make it home, my super-speed
gave out again around Colorado Springs.

357
00:26:34,594 --> 00:26:36,314
I barely had enough money for a bus ticket.

358
00:26:36,471 --> 00:26:39,182
This thing's getting
way out of control, Clark.

359
00:26:41,684 --> 00:26:44,771
Don't worry. I'm glued to the couch
until this solar flare passes.

360
00:26:44,937 --> 00:26:47,440
I'm afraid it's not
gonna be that easy, son.

361
00:26:47,607 --> 00:26:50,318
Perry white saw you disappear.

362
00:26:50,485 --> 00:26:54,489
Now, your mother got him off the farm,
but I don't think he's gonna give up.

363
00:26:56,449 --> 00:26:58,993
Not that easy, anyway.

364
00:27:04,415 --> 00:27:07,460
When they told me you were at the gate,
I could hardly believe it.

365
00:27:07,627 --> 00:27:09,962
Yeah, you and me both.

366
00:27:10,046 --> 00:27:13,174
- I just thought we should talk.
- We have nothing to talk about.

367
00:27:13,341 --> 00:27:16,552
Oh, sorry to hear that.

368
00:27:16,719 --> 00:27:19,806
Now I guess you'll never find out
what I have on your father.

369
00:27:21,307 --> 00:27:23,226
If it's personal, I don't care.

370
00:27:23,392 --> 00:27:27,146
If it's legal, the statute of limitations
must've passed long ago.

371
00:27:27,313 --> 00:27:29,607
That depends.

372
00:27:31,901 --> 00:27:34,862
If this information is so damning,

373
00:27:35,029 --> 00:27:38,199
why did my father stop
at simply destroying your career?

374
00:27:39,158 --> 00:27:44,038
Multiple copies plus multiple attorneys
all with, in the event of my death,

375
00:27:44,205 --> 00:27:47,291
instructions to disseminate...
Well, you do the math.

376
00:27:48,668 --> 00:27:50,670
It's all yours.

377
00:27:51,003 --> 00:27:52,713
I just want one thing in return.

378
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,884
- What did you have in mind?
- Everything you know about Clark Kent.

379
00:28:01,556 --> 00:28:05,017
Two years ago,
you drove your Porsche off a bridge.

380
00:28:05,184 --> 00:28:06,561
I went over the police photos.

381
00:28:06,727 --> 00:28:12,066
There's no way you could've survived that
crash without the miracle that is Clark Kent.

382
00:28:12,650 --> 00:28:17,613
Imagine my surprise when I discovered you'd
actually cultivated a friendship with this kid.

383
00:28:17,989 --> 00:28:20,032
So now you're going after Clark.

384
00:28:20,199 --> 00:28:22,702
This is a new low, even for you.

385
00:28:22,869 --> 00:28:26,372
The Lex I knew wouldn't shake your hand
without an ulterior motive.

386
00:28:26,539 --> 00:28:28,249
You must have something.

387
00:28:28,416 --> 00:28:34,714
Give it to me, and I'll deliver you a story
that'll bring new meaning to "sins of the father."

388
00:28:37,884 --> 00:28:40,720
You may have been able to
neutralize my father, but not me!

389
00:28:40,887 --> 00:28:43,723
- Looks like the jungle living took a toll.
- I'm warning you,

390
00:28:43,890 --> 00:28:46,601
stay away from me
and stay away from my friends.

391
00:28:46,767 --> 00:28:49,020
Trust me,
there won't be any blood on my hands

392
00:28:49,186 --> 00:28:50,771
when they find what's left of you.

393
00:29:12,585 --> 00:29:15,254
Clark, I never thought
you'd rate your own paparazzi.

394
00:29:15,755 --> 00:29:19,383
Perry white must've called in a
million favors to get a camera crew.

395
00:29:19,508 --> 00:29:22,219
Yeah. Well, the good news is,
there's only one.

396
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,597
If this solar-flare theory's correct,

397
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,267
then your tractor-tossing days
will be over by tonight.

398
00:29:31,354 --> 00:29:33,606
I don't believe this.

399
00:29:34,273 --> 00:29:37,860
I can't believe this. I mean, I feel
like a prisoner in my own house.

400
00:29:38,027 --> 00:29:39,779
I just...

401
00:29:43,741 --> 00:29:45,451
Pete, get down!

402
00:29:51,874 --> 00:29:54,043
- Mom, dad.
- Clark, wait.

403
00:29:54,126 --> 00:29:57,296
- Jonathan, hurry.
- Son.

404
00:29:58,756 --> 00:30:00,341
Clark, get back.

405
00:30:06,180 --> 00:30:07,598
Clark.

406
00:30:08,975 --> 00:30:11,310
- What's wrong with your hand?
- I burned it.

407
00:30:11,477 --> 00:30:12,979
My powers, they're gone again.

408
00:30:13,145 --> 00:30:15,564
Remember, all you have
to do is get through today.

409
00:30:15,731 --> 00:30:19,860
And hope that I don't get another
solar-flare burst and burn the farm down.

410
00:30:20,069 --> 00:30:21,946
Next time, I could hurt you or mom.

411
00:30:22,113 --> 00:30:25,032
And Perry white will be there
to catch the whole thing on tape.

412
00:30:27,952 --> 00:30:29,286
Dad, I can't stay here.

413
00:30:40,131 --> 00:30:42,008
Clark!

414
00:30:42,550 --> 00:30:44,218
Clark, come back!

415
00:30:48,514 --> 00:30:52,351
He's running. Come on. Let's go.

416
00:31:14,123 --> 00:31:16,917
Keep it rolling! I want it all on tape.

417
00:31:20,046 --> 00:31:24,717
Clark is not here. And he's not
coming back until you people are gone.

418
00:31:24,884 --> 00:31:27,261
So why don't you just
leave my family alone.

419
00:31:37,730 --> 00:31:41,358
- Come on, Clark. They're long gone.
- Thanks for doing all this, Pete.

420
00:31:41,525 --> 00:31:44,236
You know I'm always up
for a little undercover brother.

421
00:31:44,403 --> 00:31:48,491
So we'll camp out tonight,
check in with your parents in the morning.

422
00:31:59,126 --> 00:32:03,756
"We reserve the right
to refuse service to anyone."

423
00:32:04,090 --> 00:32:06,884
I think you'd be more comfortable
at the wild coyote.

424
00:32:06,967 --> 00:32:09,762
Well, I was, until they threw me out.

425
00:32:10,638 --> 00:32:13,307
Either way, I'd like you to leave.

426
00:32:14,058 --> 00:32:16,477
Please, miss lang...

427
00:32:19,396 --> 00:32:24,610
Sometimes I let my enthusiasm for a story
outweigh my good sense.

428
00:32:25,444 --> 00:32:27,613
Is that your idea of an apology?

429
00:32:27,780 --> 00:32:32,118
No, look. Okay. Okay, I'm ajerk.

430
00:32:32,284 --> 00:32:36,455
And I've got the broken engagements
and the sleepless nights to prove it.

431
00:32:37,164 --> 00:32:41,293
If your job bothers you so much,
why don't you stop?

432
00:32:42,378 --> 00:32:44,797
Because I'm a journalist.

433
00:32:45,005 --> 00:32:47,133
It's in my blood.

434
00:32:47,633 --> 00:32:50,678
And sometimes
you have to push to get the truth,

435
00:32:50,845 --> 00:32:53,139
even when it hurts.

436
00:32:55,474 --> 00:32:59,979
Well, if you're finished,
I'm gonna call you a cab.

437
00:33:00,146 --> 00:33:02,148
It won't come.

438
00:33:02,314 --> 00:33:05,401
It's a little issue over
nonpayment of fares.

439
00:33:05,568 --> 00:33:07,778
- But I'll make you a deal.
- Mr. White...

440
00:33:07,945 --> 00:33:11,365
I will trade permanently
staying out of your life

441
00:33:11,532 --> 00:33:13,284
for a ride to the bus stop.

442
00:33:15,786 --> 00:33:17,663
Let me get my coat.

443
00:33:32,970 --> 00:33:34,597
Lana?

444
00:33:34,889 --> 00:33:38,559
What? No, don't do anything.
I'll be right there.

445
00:33:38,726 --> 00:33:42,521
- Clark, what's going on?
- I gotta get to Saunders gorge right now.

446
00:33:47,359 --> 00:33:49,445
Your speed thing still out?

447
00:33:49,820 --> 00:33:51,697
I got nothing, Pete. It's all gone.

448
00:33:52,448 --> 00:33:53,949
Get in. I'll drive.

449
00:34:10,883 --> 00:34:14,553
- Lana, you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine, but...

450
00:34:15,596 --> 00:34:18,515
I was driving him to the bus stop,
and he pretended to be sick.

451
00:34:18,682 --> 00:34:22,061
I pulled over, and he ran out to the
viewpoint and got out on the ledge,

452
00:34:22,228 --> 00:34:24,730
and said he would kill himself
unless I called you.

453
00:34:29,818 --> 00:34:33,239
Look, Clark, be careful. He's really drunk.

454
00:34:34,323 --> 00:34:36,575
Not unless iced tea packs a punch.

455
00:34:38,410 --> 00:34:42,373
I knew you'd never show for me,
so I tricked Lana into making the call.

456
00:34:42,456 --> 00:34:45,417
- Mr. White, don't do this.
- See, the way I figure it,

457
00:34:45,584 --> 00:34:49,755
you're strong, you're shockproof,
and you're incredibly fast.

458
00:34:50,214 --> 00:34:52,466
Plus, you're cursed with this hero complex.

459
00:34:52,549 --> 00:34:55,261
Why don't you come back down on the deck,
and we'll talk about that.

460
00:34:57,012 --> 00:35:00,641
- Not until I have my story.
- Wait, Mr. White.

461
00:35:00,808 --> 00:35:02,268
Look, you're wrong about me.

462
00:35:03,644 --> 00:35:06,313
- I'm betting you'll save me, Clark.
- No, I can't save you!

463
00:35:06,814 --> 00:35:10,484
Well, I guess we'll find out, huh?

464
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,779
- No!
- Clark!

465
00:35:28,794 --> 00:35:33,299
Okay, fun's over. Time to unleash
those incredible powers there, Clark.

466
00:35:33,632 --> 00:35:35,843
I don't have any powers!

467
00:35:47,479 --> 00:35:50,607
Pete! The camping gear,
there should be a rope!

468
00:35:50,774 --> 00:35:52,568
Okay.

469
00:35:52,735 --> 00:35:55,863
- Hold on, Mr. White!
- Hurry!

470
00:35:57,948 --> 00:35:59,366
Kid.

471
00:36:00,701 --> 00:36:03,162
Pete, it's not gonna hold!

472
00:36:04,038 --> 00:36:05,831
Come on!

473
00:36:17,593 --> 00:36:20,179
- Grab the rope!
- Hang on, kid.

474
00:36:30,731 --> 00:36:34,068
- Hold on!
- Hang on, kid.

475
00:36:36,195 --> 00:36:37,363
Go!

476
00:36:46,330 --> 00:36:49,124
Good! Keep going!

477
00:36:52,586 --> 00:36:54,296
Come on!

478
00:36:55,255 --> 00:36:56,298
Kid.

479
00:36:57,424 --> 00:36:59,134
- Okay?
- Yeah. Hurry.

480
00:36:59,218 --> 00:37:01,446
- All right.
- I can't hold on much longer.

481
00:37:01,470 --> 00:37:03,722
Pete, get moving!

482
00:37:24,827 --> 00:37:27,246
Here, give me your hand.

483
00:37:40,884 --> 00:37:42,928
Oh, Clark.

484
00:38:02,948 --> 00:38:06,201
I'm sure you understand
the need for confidentiality.

485
00:38:06,368 --> 00:38:09,746
I will be revealing things
that are deeply personal, even hurtful.

486
00:38:09,913 --> 00:38:11,915
That's the point of therapy, Lex.

487
00:38:12,416 --> 00:38:13,625
To regain control,

488
00:38:13,792 --> 00:38:17,880
let the bad feelings go and start
recovering from the traumas of the past.

489
00:38:18,046 --> 00:38:21,300
Then tomorrow. 10 am.

490
00:38:35,856 --> 00:38:37,691
Clark, breakfast is almost ready.

491
00:38:37,858 --> 00:38:41,945
- Great. I'll be done in a second.
- So you're sure everything's okay now?

492
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,703
Once the effects of the solar flare faded,
things went back to normal.

493
00:38:49,870 --> 00:38:52,372
Including your sense of humor.

494
00:38:54,374 --> 00:38:57,544
- Hi, Lana. This is a surprise.
- Hi, Mrs. Kent.

495
00:38:57,711 --> 00:39:00,464
- I hope I didn't come at a bad time.
- No, not at all.

496
00:39:00,631 --> 00:39:04,384
- Clark, I'll keep a plate warm for you.
- Bye.

497
00:39:07,721 --> 00:39:09,181
Hey, Lana.

498
00:39:09,348 --> 00:39:11,433
You know, I was gonna
stop by the Talon later.

499
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:16,063
Just, with all the craziness,
I didn't get a chance to thank you.

500
00:39:16,396 --> 00:39:22,027
I still don't understand why Mr. White thought
you could do all those incredible things.

501
00:39:22,194 --> 00:39:25,072
But I'm glad I was able to help.

502
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,200
You know, I wasn'tjust
talking about the gorge.

503
00:39:28,575 --> 00:39:31,411
Whether I meant to or not,
I helped dredge up your memories

504
00:39:31,578 --> 00:39:33,539
about the meteor shower.

505
00:39:33,705 --> 00:39:36,542
I wanted to thank you for forgiving me.

506
00:39:37,751 --> 00:39:40,963
Well, that's part of the
reason why I came by.

507
00:39:41,421 --> 00:39:43,715
I went to the graveyard this morning.

508
00:39:44,258 --> 00:39:46,927
Bet your parents were happy to see you.

509
00:39:49,805 --> 00:39:53,392
Suddenly, I realized I
hadn't been there for months.

510
00:39:53,934 --> 00:39:55,435
At first, I felt guilty.

511
00:39:55,602 --> 00:39:58,522
You know, like I had done something wrong.

512
00:39:58,855 --> 00:40:05,070
But then I realized that that is the last
thing they would have ever wanted for me.

513
00:40:06,488 --> 00:40:10,117
- So, what did you tell them?
- The truth.

514
00:40:11,285 --> 00:40:14,288
That I never meant to ignore them.

515
00:40:16,623 --> 00:40:19,710
There's someone else in my life now.

516
00:40:19,876 --> 00:40:21,962
Someone I really care about.

517
00:40:22,129 --> 00:40:24,548
- Lana...
- Clark.

518
00:40:24,715 --> 00:40:26,550
It's okay.

519
00:40:28,677 --> 00:40:33,432
I also told them that we were
in a kind of strange place right now.

520
00:40:34,182 --> 00:40:37,060
But I'm still hoping
that we can work it out.

521
00:40:40,647 --> 00:40:43,275
The important thing is...

522
00:40:44,318 --> 00:40:47,946
They know they will
always be in my thoughts.

523
00:40:52,576 --> 00:40:54,578
Ibeflergo.

524
00:41:35,619 --> 00:41:37,537
Thanks again for the ride.

525
00:41:37,704 --> 00:41:40,666
It's the only way I could be sure
you'd get on the bus.

526
00:41:41,833 --> 00:41:43,377
What?

527
00:41:43,627 --> 00:41:46,421
You really are kind of
a freak, you know that?

528
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,425
- Mr. White.
- I'm serious.

529
00:41:50,592 --> 00:41:53,178
You try to help people, even fools like me,

530
00:41:53,345 --> 00:41:56,056
and you never ask for anything in return.

531
00:41:56,223 --> 00:41:58,684
When I saw your face up there
after it was all over,

532
00:41:58,850 --> 00:42:02,562
I suddenly realized
I was about to tear down a good person.

533
00:42:02,729 --> 00:42:07,401
I just couldn't believe there was
actually anyone like you out there.

534
00:42:07,609 --> 00:42:09,277
Trust me, Mr. White, I'm not that good.

535
00:42:09,861 --> 00:42:13,740
Well, I'm just glad nobody got hurt.

536
00:42:13,907 --> 00:42:17,619
Chalk it up to
hallucinations or the d.T.'S.

537
00:42:17,786 --> 00:42:20,288
All I know is, I got a wake-up call.

538
00:42:20,455 --> 00:42:25,877
I am, uh, exactly 17 hours
and five minutes sober.

539
00:42:26,586 --> 00:42:28,426
Well, I'm glad some
good came out of all this.

540
00:42:30,924 --> 00:42:32,217
So, what's next?

541
00:42:32,384 --> 00:42:34,594
If you found the guts
to go over that cliff,

542
00:42:34,761 --> 00:42:38,515
maybe I can find the courage
to finish the one story I let go.

543
00:42:39,057 --> 00:42:41,768
Something tells me the world
hasn't seen the last of Perry white.

544
00:42:41,935 --> 00:42:44,187
Something tells me you're right.

545
00:42:44,688 --> 00:42:48,275
Rumor has it, I still have a friend or two
on the daily planet.

546
00:42:49,526 --> 00:42:54,281
Oh, uh, by the way, I went over
a couple more of your torch stories.

547
00:42:54,990 --> 00:42:56,783
And?

548
00:42:56,950 --> 00:42:59,953
Well, they're rough,
and half the time, you Bury the iede.

549
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,289
But I see a glimmer of hope.

550
00:43:02,456 --> 00:43:05,751
If you ever make it to Metropolis,
look me up. I owe you one.

551
00:43:06,752 --> 00:43:10,005
-J“ walking in Memphis j“
-j“ walking in Memphis j“

552
00:43:10,088 --> 00:43:14,009
j“ walking with my feet
ten feet off of beale j“

553
00:43:14,092 --> 00:43:17,471
-j“ walking in Memphis j“
-j“ walking in Memphis j“

554
00:43:17,554 --> 00:43:21,057
j“ do I really feel the way I feel? J“

555
00:43:21,141 --> 00:43:24,978
-j“ oh, walking in Memphis j“
-j“ walking in Memphis j“

556
00:43:25,061 --> 00:43:29,357
j“ walking with my feet
ten feet off of beale j“

557
00:43:29,441 --> 00:43:32,152
j“ walking in Memphis j“

558
00:43:32,235 --> 00:43:35,822
j“ do I really feel the way I feel? J“

559
00:43:35,906 --> 00:43:38,033
j“ oh, walking in Memphis j“
