1
00:00:10,552 --> 00:00:12,304
Mom?

2
00:00:14,139 --> 00:00:15,933
- Happy birthday!
- Happy birthday!

3
00:00:16,099 --> 00:00:17,434
Happy birthday, sweetheart.

4
00:00:17,851 --> 00:00:20,020
We got you, didn't we?

5
00:00:21,855 --> 00:00:24,858
Look. And Lois even made
her world-famous rum cake for you.

6
00:00:25,025 --> 00:00:26,360
From scratch.

7
00:00:29,238 --> 00:00:32,658
- Wow, I never would have guessed.
- You should have seen the first two.

8
00:00:32,824 --> 00:00:34,326
Come on, presents before cake.

9
00:00:34,493 --> 00:00:37,746
Come on, birthday boy. Sit down.

10
00:00:38,330 --> 00:00:39,665
Open it.

11
00:00:48,423 --> 00:00:50,133
Not that you're the "dear diary" type

12
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:53,053
but since you keep everything to yourself,

13
00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:54,846
I thought it might help.

14
00:00:55,973 --> 00:00:58,809
And since I'm on an intern budget,
I figured I could just

15
00:00:58,976 --> 00:01:01,478
comp a couple of those ious
that you owe me.

16
00:01:04,273 --> 00:01:05,857
Thank you.

17
00:01:11,238 --> 00:01:12,823
That's dad's handwriting.

18
00:01:16,618 --> 00:01:18,161
I found it in his desk.

19
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,598
Two tickets to the
wolverines game in Milwaukee.

20
00:01:39,099 --> 00:01:43,812
- Right behind home plate.
- Yeah, your dad and his baseball.

21
00:01:43,979 --> 00:01:47,441
There was no one in the world
he'd rather watch a game with.

22
00:02:01,288 --> 00:02:03,707
Thanks for the tickets, dad.

23
00:02:04,625 --> 00:02:06,501
I just wish...

24
00:02:06,668 --> 00:02:08,837
That you were here to go with me.

25
00:02:21,266 --> 00:02:22,601
Dad?

26
00:02:25,646 --> 00:02:29,191
Listen, I'm sorry I couldn't be
at your birthday party

27
00:02:29,358 --> 00:02:31,360
to see the kind of man you're becoming.

28
00:02:33,362 --> 00:02:36,490
- Dad, everything I am is because of you.
- Not everything.

29
00:02:37,032 --> 00:02:38,408
There can be no more lessons.

30
00:02:38,575 --> 00:02:42,704
You're gonna have to do this on your own.
I can't help you anymore.

31
00:02:42,871 --> 00:02:44,373
You're gonna have to stop him.

32
00:02:44,706 --> 00:02:46,041
Stop who?

33
00:02:46,208 --> 00:02:47,918
He's much worse than we imagined.

34
00:02:48,085 --> 00:02:49,586
So many people...

35
00:02:50,379 --> 00:02:53,757
So many people are gonna die.

36
00:02:53,924 --> 00:02:56,134
I don't understand.
What are you talking about?

37
00:02:57,386 --> 00:02:59,554
I'm talking about Lionel Luthor.

38
00:02:59,930 --> 00:03:01,306
What is he doing?

39
00:03:04,184 --> 00:03:06,395
He's gonna do something terrible.

40
00:03:07,771 --> 00:03:09,856
Tell me, dad, what am I supposed to do?

41
00:03:11,441 --> 00:03:13,402
I'm sorry, Clark.

42
00:03:13,568 --> 00:03:15,946
But to save this world...

43
00:03:17,155 --> 00:03:19,783
You've gotta kill Lionel Luthor.

44
00:03:22,244 --> 00:03:24,037
Goodbye, son.

45
00:03:27,916 --> 00:03:29,376
Dad?

46
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,044
Dad?

47
00:03:32,129 --> 00:03:33,880
Dad, wait.

48
00:03:38,093 --> 00:03:43,098
J“ somebody save me j“

49
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:48,478
j“ let your warm hands
break right through it j“

50
00:03:48,562 --> 00:03:53,233
j“ somebody save me j“

51
00:03:54,943 --> 00:03:58,739
j“ I don't care how you do it j“

52
00:03:58,822 --> 00:04:03,326
-j“ just stay, stay j“
-j“ stay with me j“

53
00:04:03,410 --> 00:04:09,040
j“ come on, I've been waiting for you j“

54
00:04:09,124 --> 00:04:13,003
j“ to stay with me j“

55
00:04:14,671 --> 00:04:19,259
j“ I made this whole world shine for you j“

56
00:04:19,342 --> 00:04:23,472
j“ stay, stay j“

57
00:04:23,555 --> 00:04:26,892
j“ come on j“

58
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:36,693
Clark, grief can play tricks on the mind.

59
00:04:36,860 --> 00:04:38,487
Mom, I know what I saw.

60
00:04:38,653 --> 00:04:41,948
It was dad. His spirit, his ghost,
whatever you wanna call it.

61
00:04:42,115 --> 00:04:45,035
Sweetheart, I see your dad all the time.

62
00:04:45,202 --> 00:04:47,621
Every morning when I wake up
I feel him beside me.

63
00:04:47,788 --> 00:04:50,624
But it's not him. And it's not his ghost.

64
00:04:50,791 --> 00:04:53,919
It's my mind wanting it so badly
I think he's really there.

65
00:04:54,085 --> 00:04:56,379
Right now you're really angry with Lionel

66
00:04:56,546 --> 00:05:00,050
and maybe you want someone
to say it's okay to get back at him.

67
00:05:00,217 --> 00:05:02,344
Mom, this isn't the
first time I've seen dad.

68
00:05:06,473 --> 00:05:08,475
It's a long story, but Lana was in trouble.

69
00:05:08,642 --> 00:05:12,145
I tried to save her and had
some sort of near-death experience.

70
00:05:12,312 --> 00:05:16,274
I saw dad. He was the one
who told me Lionel knew my secret.

71
00:05:17,734 --> 00:05:20,695
That wasn't my imagination.
What if this wasn't either?

72
00:05:21,404 --> 00:05:24,366
If that's true,
if it really was your father...

73
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,161
Then what Lionel's up to is worse
than just knowing my secret.

74
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:33,208
It would have to be, for your father
to suggest taking someone's life.

75
00:05:39,548 --> 00:05:41,633
One drip, one extra-hot
double cap, no foam.

76
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,635
- Sorry about the mess-up.
- Don't worry.

77
00:05:43,802 --> 00:05:46,054
I know how finicky that steamer can be.

78
00:05:46,221 --> 00:05:49,057
- Thank you. Lois. Hey.
- Hey.

79
00:05:49,224 --> 00:05:52,060
- Running a delivery service?
- Oh, no.

80
00:05:52,143 --> 00:05:55,981
- Actually, Chloe started short-circuiting so I...
- Save it, Lana. It's okay.

81
00:05:56,147 --> 00:05:59,067
There's only one extra-hot double cap,
no foam in this town.

82
00:05:59,234 --> 00:06:00,610
Runs by "Lex."

83
00:06:00,777 --> 00:06:03,446
Walks in here like he owns the place.

84
00:06:03,613 --> 00:06:06,825
Actually, Lois, he does own the place.

85
00:06:06,992 --> 00:06:08,493
So are you his new assistant?

86
00:06:09,452 --> 00:06:12,122
Um, no, not exactly.

87
00:06:16,793 --> 00:06:18,420
No way.

88
00:06:18,587 --> 00:06:20,964
I guess if you're in the
market for a boyfriend,

89
00:06:21,131 --> 00:06:23,341
why not Smallville's
most eligible bachelor?

90
00:06:27,012 --> 00:06:28,680
He's not my boyfriend.

91
00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:37,355
Look, I know I'm not versed
in the whole girl-talk thing

92
00:06:37,522 --> 00:06:39,524
but I do have an unbiased ear.

93
00:06:39,691 --> 00:06:43,862
And, uh, I know what it's like
to have a case of the bad-boy blues.

94
00:06:50,243 --> 00:06:53,496
Okay, Clark, I am the president
of ghost believers anonymous,

95
00:06:53,663 --> 00:06:57,876
- but your dad hamleting you?
- Chloe, I know how it sounds.

96
00:06:58,376 --> 00:07:01,463
- Hand me a cloak and call me Horatio.
- Great.

97
00:07:01,630 --> 00:07:05,675
Now what could be so bad that my dad
would want Lionel dead to stop it?

98
00:07:05,842 --> 00:07:09,346
Maybe it has something to do with him
knowing where you really came from.

99
00:07:09,512 --> 00:07:12,223
That's a part of it,
but there's gotta be something more.

100
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:13,892
Well...

101
00:07:14,059 --> 00:07:16,144
If Lionel is hatching some evil scheme,

102
00:07:16,311 --> 00:07:18,813
it would explain why
he's sitting on your secret.

103
00:07:18,980 --> 00:07:20,815
Maybe something's already in motion.

104
00:07:20,982 --> 00:07:24,903
Chloe, someone tried to blackmail my mom
with footage of me using my abilities.

105
00:07:24,986 --> 00:07:27,948
- What?
- Guess which billionaire came to the rescue.

106
00:07:29,783 --> 00:07:32,786
All right, say this ghost
of your dad's is right.

107
00:07:32,953 --> 00:07:36,748
And we dig through Lionel's closet
and we find a smoking gun. Then what?

108
00:07:36,915 --> 00:07:38,625
- Depends what it was.
- Would it?

109
00:07:38,792 --> 00:07:41,711
Is there anything we could find that
would make Clark Kent kill someone?

110
00:07:52,681 --> 00:07:56,476
My helicopter's waiting, dad.
What's so important?

111
00:07:56,643 --> 00:07:59,062
Obviously something
you've got cooking in Honduras.

112
00:07:59,229 --> 00:08:01,523
Although I doubt it's the banana daiquiris.

113
00:08:01,690 --> 00:08:05,735
You've been racking up quite a lot
of frequent flyer miles, son.

114
00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:11,074
Challenging upper management
often leads to a bout of unemployment.

115
00:08:11,241 --> 00:08:15,912
The welfare of your workers
is the least of my concerns.

116
00:08:18,248 --> 00:08:20,208
You're involved with Milton fine.

117
00:08:22,460 --> 00:08:26,464
I know he's been smuggling the deadliest
viruses in the world into this country.

118
00:08:26,631 --> 00:08:28,633
- With your help.
- Well, don't worry, dad.

119
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,469
We're not gonna put them
in any Halloween candy.

120
00:08:32,887 --> 00:08:36,599
You're extremely nonchalant for a
man whose collection of microorganisms

121
00:08:36,766 --> 00:08:39,269
could wipe out more
than half of this country.

122
00:08:39,644 --> 00:08:41,813
It's under control.

123
00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:44,691
Your business partner's a man
who seems able to appear

124
00:08:44,858 --> 00:08:47,152
at opposite ends of the
earth simultaneously.

125
00:08:47,318 --> 00:08:49,654
How much control do you have over him?

126
00:08:52,866 --> 00:08:55,118
Your intel is impressive, but incomplete.

127
00:08:55,285 --> 00:08:57,579
Shut the operation down, Lex.
Shut it down now.

128
00:08:57,746 --> 00:09:01,249
Wherever you're incubating these viruses,
you need to destroy them.

129
00:09:02,584 --> 00:09:06,046
Milton fine embodies a threat
greater than you appear to realize.

130
00:09:06,212 --> 00:09:09,507
You taught me. Keep your friends close
and your enemies closer.

131
00:09:09,674 --> 00:09:13,053
This is one enemy you don't know.
Not knowing who you're in bed with

132
00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:16,014
can make for a very
uncomfortable awakening.

133
00:09:16,723 --> 00:09:18,892
Well, I'll present that nugget to the board

134
00:09:19,059 --> 00:09:21,061
when they ask why I'm late.

135
00:10:13,780 --> 00:10:15,907
Wait, Clark, the alarm.

136
00:10:16,074 --> 00:10:18,451
I cloned the transponder
from Lionel's key port

137
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:21,079
so we could override the digital cipher.

138
00:10:23,748 --> 00:10:25,625
I need a night life.

139
00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:28,086
Look for anything my
dad might warn me about.

140
00:10:28,253 --> 00:10:29,629
Okay, it might take a minute.

141
00:10:29,796 --> 00:10:33,341
I can't exactly search for a file
called "my evil scheme."

142
00:10:34,384 --> 00:10:37,137
Have you thought that
if Lionel knows your secret,

143
00:10:37,303 --> 00:10:39,139
he might have told...

144
00:10:39,931 --> 00:10:41,266
Lex?

145
00:10:42,308 --> 00:10:45,061
Knowledge is power.
Lionel would never level the field.

146
00:10:45,228 --> 00:10:46,980
I guess this is one rare time

147
00:10:47,147 --> 00:10:50,525
when we have to put our faith
in the Luthor family dysfunction.

148
00:10:52,402 --> 00:10:54,445
- Locked out.
- Check his calendar.

149
00:10:54,612 --> 00:10:56,865
All right. I'm multitasking
as fast as I can.

150
00:11:03,413 --> 00:11:05,874
- Leon rowland?
- Who's that?

151
00:11:06,374 --> 00:11:09,711
Lionel has an interview tomorrow
with the inquisitor's top reporter

152
00:11:09,878 --> 00:11:11,880
regarding something called "the weapon."

153
00:11:18,595 --> 00:11:20,388
Then at the Pentagon.

154
00:11:20,555 --> 00:11:25,143
Looks like the mysterious weapon
is the hot topic this week.

155
00:11:25,310 --> 00:11:27,020
Maybe it's not so mysterious.

156
00:11:28,563 --> 00:11:32,483
Wait, you think that you might be
the weapon Lionel's talking about?

157
00:11:55,298 --> 00:11:56,966
I bought us coffees.

158
00:11:57,133 --> 00:12:00,762
But after a three-hour conversation
with Lois, they got a bit cold.

159
00:12:02,347 --> 00:12:05,808
I can't wait to read all about Lex and Lana
in tomorrow's early edition.

160
00:12:05,975 --> 00:12:07,477
She's not like that.

161
00:12:08,186 --> 00:12:10,271
Believe it or not, she's a great listener.

162
00:12:10,438 --> 00:12:12,440
And with everything that's been going on,

163
00:12:12,607 --> 00:12:14,484
she's been a wonderful outlet for me.

164
00:12:18,529 --> 00:12:21,157
It looks like I'm not the only one
who needs an outlet.

165
00:12:22,992 --> 00:12:25,536
Lana, something's happened.

166
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:29,249
I've been wrestling with whether or not
I should let you in on it.

167
00:12:30,458 --> 00:12:32,210
But, when all is said and done,

168
00:12:32,377 --> 00:12:35,505
you're the one person in the world
I can share it with.

169
00:12:36,673 --> 00:12:39,092
I've been working on something.

170
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:42,178
Something bigger than either of us.

171
00:12:43,012 --> 00:12:46,933
- Lex, whatever it is, I trust you.
- This isn't about trusting me anymore.

172
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:49,394
It's about trusting you.

173
00:12:50,061 --> 00:12:53,898
It's about how deep you wanna get involved,
and knowing when to say stop.

174
00:13:02,740 --> 00:13:05,201
Lana, what I'm about to show you

175
00:13:05,368 --> 00:13:07,704
means you're all in.

176
00:13:07,829 --> 00:13:09,789
A hundred percent.

177
00:13:20,133 --> 00:13:22,260
What is this place?

178
00:13:22,844 --> 00:13:24,595
The future.

179
00:13:24,762 --> 00:13:28,016
I'd like you to be by
my side when it arrives.

180
00:13:32,270 --> 00:13:34,480
You've been collecting viruses?

181
00:13:34,647 --> 00:13:36,357
The most deadly on the planet.

182
00:13:36,524 --> 00:13:38,151
What are you gonna do with them?

183
00:13:39,444 --> 00:13:41,279
Change the world.

184
00:13:43,197 --> 00:13:47,702
Lana, we've been able
to alter the viruses...

185
00:13:49,495 --> 00:13:53,166
Transforming them into
the ultimate vaccine.

186
00:13:53,458 --> 00:13:56,169
One shot of this,
and theoretically you'd be protected

187
00:13:56,336 --> 00:13:58,546
from any disease that could be unleashed.

188
00:13:58,713 --> 00:14:00,715
Unleashed?

189
00:14:00,882 --> 00:14:02,383
By whom?

190
00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:04,552
Well, according to fine,

191
00:14:04,719 --> 00:14:08,639
the CIA believes the black spacecraft
might be the first of many.

192
00:14:08,806 --> 00:14:11,434
Listen, you need to keep this
between the two of us.

193
00:14:11,601 --> 00:14:14,103
Even fine doesn't know
we're developing the vaccine here.

194
00:14:14,645 --> 00:14:16,939
I thought you two were working together.

195
00:14:17,106 --> 00:14:18,649
Why don't you trust him anymore?

196
00:14:20,902 --> 00:14:24,614
Because I think he might be reporting
back to something a little higher up.

197
00:14:32,538 --> 00:14:34,207
You found the ship?

198
00:14:34,374 --> 00:14:37,960
I was tracking fine
and he led me directly to it.

199
00:14:38,127 --> 00:14:40,213
But that's not the intriguing part.

200
00:14:40,380 --> 00:14:43,549
These two photographs were taken
a hundredth of a second apart.

201
00:14:44,175 --> 00:14:45,510
Where did he go?

202
00:14:51,224 --> 00:14:52,600
Oh, my god.

203
00:14:52,767 --> 00:14:55,311
Do you think he came out of that ship
like the others?

204
00:14:55,937 --> 00:14:58,022
That's why I was going along with him.

205
00:14:58,189 --> 00:15:00,983
I thought I could buy some time
to find his weakness.

206
00:15:01,150 --> 00:15:03,319
But I'm starting to think
he doesn't have one.

207
00:15:08,366 --> 00:15:09,700
He might.

208
00:15:10,785 --> 00:15:14,914
After the meteor shower, when I
found your dad in that strange trance,

209
00:15:15,081 --> 00:15:18,418
he grabbed me,
and he told me how to stop them.

210
00:15:25,258 --> 00:15:28,803
Hi, this is the
Kent residence. Leave a message.

211
00:15:29,345 --> 00:15:31,806
Martha, it's Lionel.

212
00:15:31,973 --> 00:15:33,349
I know things are strained

213
00:15:33,516 --> 00:15:36,602
but something's going on
that Clark needs to know about.

214
00:15:36,769 --> 00:15:39,689
Please. Call me as soon as you get this.

215
00:15:57,081 --> 00:15:59,083
Jonathan.

216
00:16:01,878 --> 00:16:03,838
How long, Martha?

217
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,258
What?

218
00:16:07,425 --> 00:16:10,052
How long have you had
feelings for Lionel Luthor?

219
00:16:13,264 --> 00:16:15,057
It's not like that.

220
00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:19,312
I want you to be happy, sweetheart.
I've always just...

221
00:16:19,645 --> 00:16:21,147
Just wanted you to be happy...

222
00:16:24,233 --> 00:16:26,277
But not with him.

223
00:16:26,444 --> 00:16:27,444
Jonathan.

224
00:16:33,659 --> 00:16:37,538
You know you're the
only man I've ever loved.

225
00:16:40,291 --> 00:16:42,168
It's been...

226
00:16:42,793 --> 00:16:44,921
So hard without you.

227
00:16:45,087 --> 00:16:47,632
Your voice, your touch.

228
00:16:48,466 --> 00:16:51,385
I miss you so much.

229
00:16:55,806 --> 00:16:57,808
I miss you too, sweetheart.

230
00:17:03,105 --> 00:17:05,274
Why did you have to leave me?

231
00:17:06,108 --> 00:17:09,153
I'm sorry, Martha.
I didn't have any choice.

232
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,365
And soon, neither will a
lot of other innocent people.

233
00:17:13,699 --> 00:17:17,119
Are you talking about Lionel?
What is it? What is he doing?

234
00:17:17,286 --> 00:17:20,581
He's going to drown
you all in your own blood.

235
00:17:23,834 --> 00:17:26,420
Like he did you? What...?

236
00:17:27,380 --> 00:17:32,009
Martha, I'm sorry. But you've got to
tell Clark there is no other choice.

237
00:17:32,885 --> 00:17:35,471
Lionel Luthor has to die.

238
00:17:36,639 --> 00:17:38,224
Jonathan.

239
00:17:39,684 --> 00:17:41,519
He has to.

240
00:17:49,569 --> 00:17:51,237
Jonathan?

241
00:18:09,964 --> 00:18:12,967
He was standing right here.
Like he was still alive.

242
00:18:13,134 --> 00:18:15,344
He said Lionel was
gonna drown us all in blood.

243
00:18:15,511 --> 00:18:18,097
- What does that mean?
- I don't know.

244
00:18:18,514 --> 00:18:22,226
Mom, I think it might have something to do
with Lionel using me as a weapon.

245
00:18:22,393 --> 00:18:24,645
But, Clark, you would
never go along with that.

246
00:18:24,812 --> 00:18:26,522
What if he found a way to control me?

247
00:18:26,689 --> 00:18:28,566
Maybe that's what dad's come to stop.

248
00:18:29,150 --> 00:18:32,278
All this time I thought Lionel
was making up for his past.

249
00:18:32,445 --> 00:18:33,821
Mom, it's not your fault.

250
00:18:33,988 --> 00:18:35,865
Lionel has been manipulating all of us.

251
00:18:36,324 --> 00:18:38,951
Clark, he said something else.

252
00:18:41,412 --> 00:18:46,334
I think he meant Lionel
had something to do with his death.

253
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,928
We've tracked Milton fine
to the midwestern United States.

254
00:18:58,095 --> 00:19:00,931
We 're working to narrow his coordinates.
We 7! Let you know.

255
00:19:01,307 --> 00:19:04,935
- Sir, please be advised unofficial data...
- Good evening, Mr. Luthor.

256
00:19:05,811 --> 00:19:07,688
May I?

257
00:19:08,022 --> 00:19:10,399
Please, help yourself.

258
00:19:10,566 --> 00:19:12,109
Everybody else does.

259
00:19:13,194 --> 00:19:15,488
Some say the toast came about

260
00:19:15,655 --> 00:19:19,825
by a man who feared
that his drink had been poisoned.

261
00:19:19,992 --> 00:19:22,203
But he was a quick-witted man.

262
00:19:24,705 --> 00:19:27,500
He joyfully clanked his mug
with the mugs of his mates,

263
00:19:27,667 --> 00:19:32,046
sloshing his lethal beverage
into everyone's drink with cheer.

264
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,636
A simple tap, then,
must be a sign of trust.

265
00:19:45,976 --> 00:19:47,728
I'm not really thirsty.

266
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:01,409
I thought we had an agreement.

267
00:20:03,494 --> 00:20:05,746
You would inform me
of the virus's progress.

268
00:20:05,913 --> 00:20:09,667
But I seem to be
shockingly cut out of the loop.

269
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:12,378
A fact you've probably known for weeks.

270
00:20:15,131 --> 00:20:17,091
Come on.

271
00:20:17,258 --> 00:20:21,470
You must have assumed I wouldn't
inherently believe your CIA bluff.

272
00:20:22,388 --> 00:20:24,974
And that's why I chose you.

273
00:20:25,307 --> 00:20:26,892
For your insatiable distrust

274
00:20:27,059 --> 00:20:29,687
and your propensity for
covering all the bases.

275
00:20:30,938 --> 00:20:33,941
I'm sure you didn't waltz in here
thinking I'd just roll over.

276
00:20:34,024 --> 00:20:36,068
No, not you.

277
00:20:36,861 --> 00:20:38,988
Not without a bone.

278
00:20:39,155 --> 00:20:41,365
I'll take the truth.

279
00:20:42,283 --> 00:20:46,287
I assure you the vaccine
is processed and ready.

280
00:20:46,662 --> 00:20:51,500
But I'd be foolish to hand it over to
someone whose agenda is still up for grabs.

281
00:20:51,959 --> 00:20:53,544
Lex, it's a vaccine.

282
00:20:53,711 --> 00:20:56,213
What threat could it possibly pose?

283
00:20:56,380 --> 00:21:00,301
Now, that's a question
I've been asking myself for weeks.

284
00:21:09,935 --> 00:21:12,897
I'm hoping this will help
me get a few answers.

285
00:21:17,985 --> 00:21:20,279
Close...

286
00:21:20,446 --> 00:21:22,114
But I'm not one of them.

287
00:21:23,157 --> 00:21:24,700
I was only made by them.

288
00:21:32,416 --> 00:21:34,585
Where's the vaccine?

289
00:21:38,798 --> 00:21:41,342
Before I tell you this,
promise you'll keep cool

290
00:21:41,509 --> 00:21:44,178
and backburner those
American psycho instincts, okay?

291
00:21:44,345 --> 00:21:46,472
Chloe, what is it?

292
00:21:47,389 --> 00:21:49,183
I pulled up your dad's phone records.

293
00:21:49,350 --> 00:21:51,644
Unless Lionel was selling
long-distance plans,

294
00:21:51,811 --> 00:21:54,104
he was desperate to get a hold of your dad.

295
00:21:54,271 --> 00:21:58,275
There are at least 20 calls logged
in those last few weeks.

296
00:21:59,443 --> 00:22:01,237
Dad said he died protecting my secret.

297
00:22:01,403 --> 00:22:04,323
Maybe that's how he found out
Lionel knew about me.

298
00:22:04,532 --> 00:22:06,575
When did the calls stop?

299
00:22:07,660 --> 00:22:09,495
They didn't.

300
00:22:09,662 --> 00:22:12,623
Lionel talked to your dad
an hour before he died.

301
00:22:14,959 --> 00:22:16,669
Think Lionel was congratulating him?

302
00:22:17,127 --> 00:22:19,588
Not unless he did it in person.

303
00:22:19,755 --> 00:22:22,258
Lionel's call came through
a tower in Jansen's field.

304
00:22:22,424 --> 00:22:24,510
That's only a mile away from your house.

305
00:22:25,803 --> 00:22:27,805
Lionel was there?

306
00:22:31,016 --> 00:22:33,936
Lionel was there the night my dad died.

307
00:22:52,288 --> 00:22:53,539
Clark.

308
00:22:57,042 --> 00:23:00,170
I'm glad you called. Thank you.
We don't have much time.

309
00:23:01,088 --> 00:23:02,631
Is this where it happened?

310
00:23:06,385 --> 00:23:08,762
Is this where you met my father
the night he died?

311
00:23:09,889 --> 00:23:11,640
Yes. Yes, it is.

312
00:23:13,267 --> 00:23:15,519
I had to talk to him. It was important.

313
00:23:20,941 --> 00:23:23,027
He found out, didn't he?

314
00:23:25,738 --> 00:23:28,532
He found out about your plan
to use me as a weapon.

315
00:23:28,699 --> 00:23:30,034
A weapon?

316
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,913
No. Clark, no, it...

317
00:23:37,041 --> 00:23:38,959
What did you do to him?

318
00:23:39,126 --> 00:23:41,003
Clark, I wanted to help him.

319
00:23:41,170 --> 00:23:43,964
He needed an ally but
he took it the wrong way.

320
00:23:45,049 --> 00:23:47,259
- You killed my father.
- No. Clark...

321
00:23:47,426 --> 00:23:49,803
What happened,
he wouldn't go along with the plan?

322
00:23:50,471 --> 00:23:52,890
You pushed.
You pushed him till his heart gave out.

323
00:23:53,015 --> 00:23:55,851
- Listen to me, Clark.
- I will never be anyone's weapon.

324
00:23:56,018 --> 00:23:58,395
- You're not the weapon. It's not you.
- Lies.

325
00:23:59,813 --> 00:24:01,982
That's all he's gonna tell you, son.

326
00:24:02,149 --> 00:24:04,610
Gonna have to kill him
before he gets the chance.

327
00:24:04,777 --> 00:24:07,321
- Listen to me, Clark.
- Shut up!

328
00:24:07,488 --> 00:24:09,448
Do it, Clark.

329
00:24:09,657 --> 00:24:11,575
Do it.

330
00:24:13,994 --> 00:24:15,788
- You killed him.
- Yes, he killed me.

331
00:24:15,871 --> 00:24:17,331
So go on, son. Avenge my death.

332
00:24:17,498 --> 00:24:19,708
Your father would never
make you a murderer.

333
00:24:24,672 --> 00:24:28,133
Listen to me, Clark. Listen to me.

334
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:30,678
Clark, I know this is
very difficult for you

335
00:24:30,844 --> 00:24:33,222
but you have got to kill Lionel Luthor!

336
00:24:40,896 --> 00:24:42,898
Clark Kent, kill him now!

337
00:24:52,324 --> 00:24:53,909
You know...

338
00:24:54,618 --> 00:24:59,164
I asked you to do one simple thing.

339
00:24:59,331 --> 00:25:01,375
This is what I get.

340
00:25:03,168 --> 00:25:06,380
You're a tremendous
disappointment to me, son.

341
00:25:07,047 --> 00:25:08,716
You're not my father.

342
00:25:08,966 --> 00:25:10,759
Oh-ho-ho!

343
00:25:10,968 --> 00:25:15,180
Well, it looks like I might have
underestimated you, Kal-El. Catch!

344
00:25:38,579 --> 00:25:44,376
It would be so easy
to snap your neck just like a twig.

345
00:25:44,543 --> 00:25:47,004
But I still need you.

346
00:25:47,171 --> 00:25:48,839
Who are you?

347
00:25:49,006 --> 00:25:52,801
I'm the guy that's gonna help
bring this world to its knees.

348
00:26:03,812 --> 00:26:07,816
Don't touch me.
Don't do it. Don't do...

349
00:26:26,543 --> 00:26:29,630
What...? What just happened?

350
00:26:39,306 --> 00:26:41,809
I was fairly certain Milton
fine was a Kryptonian

351
00:26:41,975 --> 00:26:44,144
but I didn't realize that shape shifting

352
00:26:44,311 --> 00:26:46,939
was one of the Kryptonian's
miraculous abilities.

353
00:26:47,064 --> 00:26:48,565
It isn't.

354
00:26:49,274 --> 00:26:50,734
Then fine's not a Kryptonian.

355
00:26:53,362 --> 00:26:57,241
Clark, it is important to both of us
that we keep this from Lex.

356
00:27:00,494 --> 00:27:05,124
Look, fine was created by Kryptonians,
and he's already been destroyed twice.

357
00:27:05,290 --> 00:27:08,794
Twice? Some sort of
self-replicating entity, it's incredible.

358
00:27:08,961 --> 00:27:11,547
That's one word for it.
Why was he so afraid of you?

359
00:27:13,298 --> 00:27:16,301
And how were you able to destroy him,
just by touching him?

360
00:27:16,468 --> 00:27:18,428
I... I'm not sure. But...

361
00:27:23,100 --> 00:27:27,271
I feel the answers could lie somewhere...

362
00:27:28,897 --> 00:27:29,897
In here.

363
00:27:40,409 --> 00:27:42,619
Where did you find all this?

364
00:27:45,164 --> 00:27:46,498
I didn't find it.

365
00:27:51,170 --> 00:27:52,588
I wrote it.

366
00:27:54,590 --> 00:27:57,593
And whatever voice I'm channeling,

367
00:27:57,759 --> 00:28:02,181
I believe that what I
wrote is meant for you.

368
00:28:22,117 --> 00:28:24,536
So hell freezes over
and no one bothers to tell me?

369
00:28:24,703 --> 00:28:27,414
Chloe, listen. Mr. Luthor
has been writing these.

370
00:28:27,581 --> 00:28:30,375
Seems to be some sort of warning,
but I can't decipher it.

371
00:28:34,254 --> 00:28:36,965
Unfortunately my Kryptonian's rusty.
What about...?

372
00:28:37,132 --> 00:28:40,510
I don't know what any of this means.
I am simply the oracle.

373
00:28:42,054 --> 00:28:45,015
The answers could be found
with a visit to your fortress.

374
00:28:46,350 --> 00:28:48,602
Last time someone
talked me into taking them,

375
00:28:48,769 --> 00:28:52,105
- it was a trick to release general Zod.
- I have plans this weekend.

376
00:28:52,272 --> 00:28:56,276
So if we could protect Smallville
from Krypton's deadliest villain, great.

377
00:28:56,443 --> 00:28:59,488
Ancient hieroglyphics were deciphered
by finding repeated...

378
00:28:59,655 --> 00:29:01,156
Repeated patterns. I know.

379
00:29:01,323 --> 00:29:03,784
So let me scan this and see if we got any.

380
00:29:05,869 --> 00:29:07,746
Why would fine wanna expose himself now?

381
00:29:07,913 --> 00:29:09,633
He's afraid I'm going to help you.

382
00:29:09,957 --> 00:29:12,334
To stop what he and Lex are planning to do.

383
00:29:12,501 --> 00:29:14,628
- Which is what?
- Fine has been helping Lex

384
00:29:14,795 --> 00:29:19,883
to develop a virus so lethal, it could
bring humanity to the brink of extinction.

385
00:29:21,051 --> 00:29:23,887
LuthorCorp scientists
completed the project today.

386
00:29:24,054 --> 00:29:27,766
So the weapon isn't Clark, it's this virus.

387
00:29:30,185 --> 00:29:32,396
That's what the pattern is
trying to warn me against.

388
00:29:32,562 --> 00:29:36,358
I have a strong sense that this warning
I have been entrusted to pass on

389
00:29:36,525 --> 00:29:39,903
is related to something more terrible
even than the virus.

390
00:29:40,821 --> 00:29:43,699
- Maybe the virus is just a part of it.
- Yeah.

391
00:29:45,117 --> 00:29:47,869
- Do you have access to the lab?
- No. I don't know where it is.

392
00:29:50,122 --> 00:29:51,957
I think we know someone who does.

393
00:30:14,813 --> 00:30:16,440
What are you doing?

394
00:30:16,606 --> 00:30:17,983
Smooth one, Smallville.

395
00:30:18,608 --> 00:30:22,529
- Something I have to talk to you about.
- How did you get in here?

396
00:30:24,698 --> 00:30:28,827
I think I just heard a keg being tapped.
I'm gonna go check it out.

397
00:30:30,454 --> 00:30:32,456
I shouldn't be going through your stuff

398
00:30:32,622 --> 00:30:34,791
but you're involved in something dangerous.

399
00:30:34,958 --> 00:30:37,294
Worried I'm involved
in it, or in it with Lex?

400
00:30:39,463 --> 00:30:43,216
No. Lana, this has nothing
to do with my feelings.

401
00:30:43,383 --> 00:30:46,428
Lex doesn't know what he's
gotten himself into. Neither do you.

402
00:30:46,595 --> 00:30:49,639
You break into my place and you
expect me to believe anything you say?

403
00:30:51,016 --> 00:30:52,559
Lex is in trouble.

404
00:30:52,726 --> 00:30:56,271
And if you care about him at all,
you'll tell me where that lab is.

405
00:30:56,438 --> 00:30:58,690
Before it's too late.

406
00:31:04,363 --> 00:31:06,031
Impressive.

407
00:31:06,198 --> 00:31:10,786
Looks like I underestimated your
willingness to tackle a non-profit venture.

408
00:31:10,952 --> 00:31:15,415
Well, LuthorCorp doesn't take the threat
of an alien armageddon lightly.

409
00:31:16,333 --> 00:31:19,753
You were never gonna create
a vaccine for humans, were you?

410
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,671
Is that what you think?

411
00:31:22,214 --> 00:31:26,176
It was gonna be your way of protecting
extraterrestrial guests when they arrive

412
00:31:26,343 --> 00:31:28,595
and unleash some horrible disease on us.

413
00:31:28,762 --> 00:31:32,766
So you went behind my back,
mass-produced the vaccine for mankind.

414
00:31:38,563 --> 00:31:42,776
I wanted to give my people a chance
before you got your dirty hands on it.

415
00:31:42,943 --> 00:31:48,824
I applaud your noble efforts
to protect your species.

416
00:31:49,449 --> 00:31:53,745
Unfortunately, it's all
based on faulty assumptions.

417
00:31:58,417 --> 00:32:02,462
I never intended to
mass-produce the vaccine.

418
00:32:04,673 --> 00:32:07,092
One dose is all I ever needed.

419
00:32:09,386 --> 00:32:12,514
Let the rest of the
world find its own cure.

420
00:33:01,730 --> 00:33:03,732
I'm not sure what to tell you, Mr. Luthor.

421
00:33:03,899 --> 00:33:07,486
Whatever you were injected with,
it doesn't appear to have had any effect.

422
00:33:07,652 --> 00:33:10,280
In fact, you've never been healthier.

423
00:33:10,447 --> 00:33:14,159
Well, I appreciate the vote of confidence.
Thank you, doctor.

424
00:33:21,625 --> 00:33:23,585
Are you okay?

425
00:33:26,671 --> 00:33:30,926
So I'm guessing that my father told you
everything that happened at the lab.

426
00:33:31,301 --> 00:33:34,346
You know, Lex, if you had
listened to your father's warnings,

427
00:33:34,513 --> 00:33:38,099
- none of this would have happened.
- None of what?

428
00:33:38,266 --> 00:33:40,227
All the viruses were destroyed.

429
00:33:40,393 --> 00:33:43,939
And now LuthorCorp has a technology
to create an extraordinary vaccine.

430
00:33:45,690 --> 00:33:47,442
Lex, you were double-crossed.

431
00:33:51,112 --> 00:33:53,156
- Where's fine right now?
- I don't know.

432
00:33:53,323 --> 00:33:56,034
My operatives are scouring the globe.

433
00:33:57,244 --> 00:34:00,830
Clark, I was the good guy here.

434
00:34:00,997 --> 00:34:04,209
LuthorCorp spent over $10 million
producing that vaccine.

435
00:34:05,835 --> 00:34:08,046
One more thing, Clark.

436
00:34:08,797 --> 00:34:10,257
Lana called me.

437
00:34:14,803 --> 00:34:17,472
I don't wanna hear you were
rifling through her stuff

438
00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:19,558
like a crazy roommate again.

439
00:34:19,724 --> 00:34:23,687
If you want something from me,
don't go running to Lana to find it.

440
00:34:26,773 --> 00:34:29,109
You really crossed the line.

441
00:34:30,402 --> 00:34:32,571
All those years we were friends...

442
00:34:33,738 --> 00:34:37,075
Were you waiting for me to step aside
so you could make your move?

443
00:34:37,617 --> 00:34:39,661
I don't know, Clark.

444
00:34:40,620 --> 00:34:43,415
All those years you
told Lana you loved her,

445
00:34:43,582 --> 00:34:47,168
were you just waiting to walk away
and break her heart?

446
00:34:47,961 --> 00:34:51,131
There's a natural tendency
to blame the person who's replaced you.

447
00:34:51,298 --> 00:34:52,757
I get that.

448
00:34:53,258 --> 00:34:55,927
But I didn't take Lana from you.

449
00:34:56,344 --> 00:34:59,014
You lost her all by yourself.

450
00:35:24,623 --> 00:35:26,374
Lionel?

451
00:35:26,541 --> 00:35:28,209
What are you doing here?

452
00:35:29,294 --> 00:35:33,381
I have to make a confession to you, Martha.

453
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:53,151
Martha, the, um...
The night Jonathan was elected,

454
00:35:53,318 --> 00:35:56,613
I, um... I called him.

455
00:35:58,823 --> 00:36:00,575
So it's true.

456
00:36:00,742 --> 00:36:06,122
I told him that I knew
everything about Clark.

457
00:36:08,958 --> 00:36:11,795
He was so angry, he...

458
00:36:18,468 --> 00:36:20,303
He never let me explain.

459
00:36:45,412 --> 00:36:50,125
I wish I had a heart as full of strength
and goodness as your son, Martha.

460
00:36:57,757 --> 00:37:01,594
But I want you to remember
that I was at least honest with you.

461
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,269
In time, maybe you'll
be able to forgive me.

462
00:37:25,493 --> 00:37:27,912
I'm sorry if things got awkward.

463
00:37:28,079 --> 00:37:30,331
I was hoping Clark
wouldn't end up in all this.

464
00:37:30,498 --> 00:37:34,377
- I just don't wanna hurt him.
- I don't either.

465
00:37:34,544 --> 00:37:36,004
I care about him too.

466
00:37:38,757 --> 00:37:41,176
But then I have to remind myself

467
00:37:41,342 --> 00:37:44,763
that Clark's specialty
is barging in where he's not invited

468
00:37:44,929 --> 00:37:49,434
and then somehow making you feel
like you're the one who should apologize.

469
00:37:51,978 --> 00:37:56,232
Okay, um, I have a great idea.

470
00:37:56,399 --> 00:37:59,819
How about a moratorium on the Clark topic?

471
00:38:01,613 --> 00:38:03,406
Twist my arm.

472
00:38:03,573 --> 00:38:05,658
Don't tempt me.

473
00:38:09,454 --> 00:38:12,624
You know, I still can't
make sense of all this.

474
00:38:12,791 --> 00:38:17,504
Why would you be asked to produce a
super vaccine just to have it destroyed?

475
00:38:18,338 --> 00:38:19,756
I don't know.

476
00:38:19,923 --> 00:38:22,926
But then again, I think
like a red-blooded human.

477
00:38:23,092 --> 00:38:25,470
Well, he was obviously
preparing for something.

478
00:38:30,850 --> 00:38:32,185
What happened?

479
00:38:35,230 --> 00:38:36,564
What happened?

480
00:38:40,985 --> 00:38:42,821
Are you okay?

481
00:38:46,115 --> 00:38:48,243
Never better.

482
00:39:05,844 --> 00:39:09,180
I thought you'd be outside Lana's dorm
with your binoculars by now.

483
00:39:15,436 --> 00:39:18,439
I appreciate the concern.
Lana and I are none of your business.

484
00:39:18,606 --> 00:39:23,069
Please, Smallville, I've had three exes
put under military surveillance.

485
00:39:23,236 --> 00:39:27,699
I'm hardly qualified
to dish out post-relationship tact.

486
00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:31,160
But it's time for some tough love.

487
00:39:33,371 --> 00:39:34,956
Lana's going to move on.

488
00:39:36,624 --> 00:39:38,877
She already has.

489
00:39:47,677 --> 00:39:50,555
But you gotta trust your gut
that you did this for a reason.

490
00:39:50,722 --> 00:39:55,184
Whatever reasons guys have for dumping
hot, smart, fun girls these days.

491
00:39:56,978 --> 00:40:00,148
Look, give her some space.
Your whole night-stalker routine,

492
00:40:00,315 --> 00:40:03,443
that is gonna ruin any of the
good feelings Lana has for you.

493
00:40:03,610 --> 00:40:05,153
If there are any.

494
00:40:08,489 --> 00:40:13,077
Sometimes you gotta tuck your feelings away
until it's the right time.

495
00:40:13,703 --> 00:40:17,248
Like stuffing dollars into a piggy bank
for a bike you can't quite afford.

496
00:40:19,208 --> 00:40:21,920
Except, I can't imagine
there is anyone else out there.

497
00:40:22,086 --> 00:40:25,715
You never know, Clark. Maybe when you
finally crack open that piggy bank,

498
00:40:25,882 --> 00:40:28,968
you'll find that
you haven't been saving for a bike,

499
00:40:29,135 --> 00:40:31,387
you've really been saving for a Harley.

500
00:40:35,141 --> 00:40:38,478
There are times when I think
you don't know me at all.

501
00:40:39,228 --> 00:40:41,731
Others where I think
you know me better than anyone.

502
00:40:43,358 --> 00:40:48,154
Well, that's what I'm here for, Smallville,
one save at a time.

503
00:40:49,197 --> 00:40:51,824
And speaking of saving things...

504
00:40:53,660 --> 00:40:58,706
Your mom thought we might wanna
share some of the leftover birthday cake.

505
00:41:01,417 --> 00:41:06,798
Well, I'm sure there's a goat on this farm
that will appreciate my knack for batter.

506
00:41:10,551 --> 00:41:14,055
You handled the whole party
thing really well, by the way.

507
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,186
The baseball tickets, they, um...

508
00:41:20,353 --> 00:41:22,063
Hit me harder than I thought.

509
00:41:23,314 --> 00:41:26,401
Yeah, but those tickets,
they weren't your dad's only gift.

510
00:41:28,569 --> 00:41:32,657
I mean, it didn't come with a big,
pretty red bow

511
00:41:32,824 --> 00:41:34,742
but your dad raised you to be your own man.

512
00:41:35,284 --> 00:41:37,412
That was his real gift.

513
00:41:37,996 --> 00:41:40,331
And he gave that to you every day.

514
00:41:44,877 --> 00:41:47,505
I thought you just came
to get tipsy off of rum cake.

515
00:41:47,588 --> 00:41:52,510
Yeah. Actually, I came by
for your Kryptonian dictionary.

516
00:41:53,386 --> 00:41:58,099
I ran Lionel's symbols in that program
and it came up with this pattern.

517
00:41:58,266 --> 00:42:01,185
Three signs repeated 32 times.

518
00:42:07,942 --> 00:42:09,318
What does it say?

519
00:42:12,822 --> 00:42:15,491
"Zod is coming."
