[Sentimental music playing]
You could be happy and I won't know
but you weren't happy the day! Watched you go
is it too late to remind you how we were?
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should've stopped you from walking out the door
you could be happy, I hope you are
you've made me happier than I'd been by far
somehow everything I own smells of you
and for the tiniest moment it's all not true
do the things that you always wanted to
without me there to hold you back don't think, just do
more than anything I want to see you, girl
take a glorious bite out of the whole world
[Opening theme song playing]
Somebody save me
let your warm hands break right through
somebody save me
don't care how you do it
just stay, stay
come on
I've been waiting for you
stay with me
I've made this whole world shine for you
just stay, stay
come on
and do you, Lana lang
take Alexander Luthor to be your husband
in the holy state of matrimony?
Do you promise to love him, comfort him, honor, keep him
in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer
and forsaking all others, as long as you both shall live?
I do.
[Grunts]
Lex. Oh, my god, Lex.
Lex.
I saved you.
I loved him.
You don't mean that.
Lana?
[Phone ringing]
Shouldn't you be at the Luthor mansion arranging flowers?
[Chloe] Well, that's just it.
I am at the Luthor mansion. I just kind of need your help.
Where are you?
Downstairs in the wine cellar.
- [Whooshing] - [Clark] Chloe?
[Chloe] Clark?
Chloe?
[Chloe] Hurry, it's freezing in here
The handle broke, Chloe.
Hold on.
Thank you so much.
Next time you have a craving for a bottle of wine
at 11:00 in the morning, go for a red.
I am so sorry.
Lana hid Lex's wedding present down here and she asked me
to go get it and then the door shut.
Ibeflergo.
[Chloe] That's it?
You filled your damsel-in-distress quota for the day
and you're just gonna walk away?
What am I supposed to do?
I guess I always just thought
that you would sweep in and save the day.
But you're not gonna do that, are you?
If Lana didn't wanna marry Lex, she wouldn't.
Lana's not my hero, Clark. You are.
And this whole idea that you're still hiding who you really are
that you're giving up the one person that you totally love...
- I'm protecting her. - Good job.
She's marrying a monster,
and trapping herself into a loveless life.
- You think this is easy for me? - I think it's easier than getting hurt.
You don't hesitate to run into a burning building
orjump in front of a bullet
because nothing can penetrate that iron flesh of yours.
But the one time saving Lana means putting your heart on the line
the man of steel is nowhere to be found.
Letting Lana go was the hardest thing I've ever had to do, Chloe.
If you don't know that, then you don't know me
as well as I thought you did.
How did you know dad was the one?
How'd you know he felt the same way?
I think when you're young, like you are
like we were
nothing is that simple.
I know this is a really hard day for you, Clark.
You know, I can't help but wonder
if all those things I told myself
that knowing the truth about me would be too much for Lana to handle,
if she knew my secret, she'd be in danger.
What if I just made up all those excuses because I was scared?
Then you'd be just like the rest of us.
What do you mean?
Your father and I almost didn't get married.
I broke it off after a year.
We had a horrible argument
and I thought I'd never see him again.
Yeah, we came from such different worlds.
Our families, the paths we were on, everything was stacked against us.
Then why'd you get back together?
Becausel_.
I couldn't stop thinking about him.
What if I take that risk?
And Lana really is happy with Lex?
All I can tell you, Clark, is that, if I hadn't taken that chance
I would have lost everything that's ever meant something to me.
Clark?
I can't let you go through with this.
Not unless you know everything.
Clark, it's okay, you don't have to explain.
- I owe it to you. - No, you don't owe me anything.
I'm the one who's been in denial.
I thought the love that I have for Lex would be enough.
I can't keep turning my back on the truth.
What are you saying?
I'm not going to marry Lex.
I don't have time to explain right now.
I'll meet you at the barn at 5:00.
[Door opens]
You have to go. I'll be there. I promise.
[Gasps]
[Panting]
How'd you sleep?
Like a baby.
Me too.
I don't know if I can wait. How about we just run off and elope?
That would be a big waste of 400 game hens.
It's a big day. It's okay to be nervous.
I know. I just have a few loose ends I need to tie up.
In fact, I have to go and meet Chloe, so I should get ready.
I'll see you at the church.
Busy day at the office?
I just had some papers to sign before the wedding.
Could it be you're avoiding the fact
that you've got no one to be with today and nothing to do?
Fine, dad, you pegged me.
[Lionel chuckles]
I'm a little nervous.
You remember when you were just a little boy?
I'd bring you up here to the office?
I used to pretend it was all mine to control.
- [Chuckles] - Like I could just
reach down and move all the cars as if they were toys.
Pull all the strings and make people do what I wanted.
But I guess it's all out of your control, isn't it?
I should hope I taught you better than that.
You know, dad, ever since I've been with Lana, I wake up wondering:
"Is today gonna be the day when she sees who I really am?"
What if she doesn't show?
I honestly don't know what my life is without her.
What would you be willing to do
to make sure that Lana is standing next to you
at that altar this afternoon?
Anything.
Then she will be.
I promise you.
[Phone rings]
It's my wedding day. Whatever it is, it can wait.
Is something wrong?
I'll meet you there.
Dr. Langston?
Is this about Lana?
Is she okay?
Uh, that's a bit ambiguous, after what you've done to her.
In a few minutes, I'm gonna be exchanging rings
directly above where you're standing.
What was so urgent it couldn't wait?
Trust me, Lex. I wouldn't want anything to come
between you and your beautiful bride.
For instance, the truth
about her condition.
Foryoursake
I hope I'm not understanding you.
Consider it hazard pay for the dangerous,
not to mention unethical position you've put me in for months.
And today's the day you hold the most leverage.
Wire $2 million to this account
or miss lang will know everything.
I don't give in to blackmail.
Oh, I think you will.
No man sinks as low as you have if he isn't driven by desperation.
Knowing what you've kept from her
I wouldn't recommend putting her love to the test.
I won't let you take her away from me.
[Knocking at door]
I'll be right there.
Is it time?
It was
ten minutes ago.
Lana's not here.
And no one knows where she is.
Lana.
[Door opens]
How'd you sleep?
Like a baby.
Me too.
I don't know if I can wait. How about we just run off and elope?
That would be a pretty big waste of 400 game hens.
I know it's a big day. It's okay to be nervous.
I know. I just have a few loose ends that I need to tie up.
In fact, I have to go meet Chloe, so I should get ready.
See you at the church.
Aunt Nell.
I can't tell you how long I've been looking fonivard to this day.
I'm so proud of you.
I wouldn't have missed this day for anything.
I know that look.
Lana.
This may be the most important day of your life.
What's wrong?
It's just...
If there were something that you had to put past you
to get on with your life
and you tried every way that was fair and honest to do that
and nothing worked
is it really wrong to bend the rules just once?
Well, what would put those doubts to rest?
The truth.
But if you are gonna promise your heart to Lex
you cannot go to that altar with anything unresolved.
When it comes to protecting ourselves...
We do what we have to do, Lana.
Okay, so you have your final dress fitting at 3:00.
The limo's picking you up at 3:30
and you have wedding photos outside the church
and naked male jell-o wrestling at 5:00.
Lana.
Look at me.
You didn't sleep at all last night, did you?
There's been a lot of pressure.
Since this is your big day, I'll pretend that I don't see right through that.
I think that's a great idea.
[Both chuckle]
Okay, what else can I do?
Well, if you don't mind, I hid Lex's wedding gift
in the wine cellar so he wouldn't find it.
I guess personal gopher falls under the umbrella of maid of honor.
Oh, um, what does it look like?
Um, it is behind the bollinger in the cooler.
It's a little blue box with a white bow.
- Okay. - Thank you.
Holy dom perignon.
Perfect.
Okay.
[Phone buzzing]
Come on, Lana, pick up.
Pick up. Pick up. Pick up.
Shoot
[Clark] Shouldn't you be at the Luthor mansion arranging flowers?
That's just it. I am at the mansion, but I kind of need your help.
Where are you?
Downstairs in the wine cellar.
[Whooshing]
[Clark] Chloe?
- [Chloe] Clark? - Chloe?
[Chloe] Hurry, I'm freezing in here.
[Clark] The handle broke, Chloe.
Hold on.
Thank you so much.
[Clark] Next time you have a craving for a bottle of wine
at 11:00 in the morning, go for a red.
[Chloe] Yeah, I'm so, so sorry.
I know you'd rather be tied to a Boulder of kryptonite
than come here for ground zero of the Luthor-lang wedding.
I didn't have a choice. It wasn't my fault.
Lana hid Lex's wedding present here and she asked me to get it.
And then the door shut.
Ibeflergo.
Wait, that's it?
You filled your damsel-in-distress quota for the day
and you're just gonna walk away?
Chloe, what am I supposed to do?
I guess I just always figured
you'd sweep in at the last minute and save the day.
But you're not gonna do that, are you?
If Lana didn't wanna marry Lex, she wouldn't.
[Chloe] Yeah, but Lana's not my hero, Clark. You are.
And this whole idea that you haven't told her who you really are
that you're giving up the person that you totally love because...
- I'm protecting her. - Good job.
She's marrying a monster and she's gonna be trapped in a loveless life.
You think this is easy for me?
[Chloe] It's easier than getting hurt.
You don't hesitate to run into a burning building
orjump in front of a bullet
because nothing can penetrate that iron flesh of yours.
But the one time saving Lana means putting your heart on the line
the man of steel is nowhere to be found.
Giving up Lana is the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life.
If you don't know that
you don't know me very well.
Clark.
I cannot let you go through with this.
Not until you know everything.
Clark, it's okay.
You don't have to explain.
- I owe it to you. - No, you don't owe me anything.
I'm the one who's been in denial
and I thought that the love that I have for Lex would be enough.
But I can't keep turning my back on the truth.
What are you saying?
I'm not marrying Lex.
I don't have time to explain right now.
I'll meet you at the barn at 5:00.
[Door opens]
You have to go. I'll be there. I promise.
[Lionel] Miss lang?
Shouldn't you be leaving for the church?
What's this?
[Sighs]
This will destroy Lex.
Mr. Luthor, I'm sorry, but this is none of your business.
Well, I'm making it my business. I can't let you call off the wedding.
Things have changed
and it wouldn't be fair to Lex to pretend like they haven't.
You know Clark's secret, don't you?
I've been watching you since you started seeing my son.
And you've been getting closer and closer
to finding out the shocking truth about Clark Kent.
What a surprise it must've been to realize
Clark has kept up the deception for so long
nghtunderyournose.
He was trying to protect me.
And he's not gonna let you threaten me now.
You think Clark's invincible.
Not so. Like every hero, he has an achilles' heel, a weakness.
I know what it is.
And I know that it could kill him.
You could never hurt him.
Would you bet Clark's life on that?
I give you my word, miss lang.
If you don't honor the promise that you've made to my son
or I find out you've told anyone about this conversation
iwill kill Clark Kent.
[People chattering indistinctly]
She didn't tell you anything?
She just vanished, she won't answer her cell.
I'm sorry, I don't know what to say.
But I'm sure there's an explanation for all this.
Father, did Lana say anything to you?
Anything that might have indicated...
[Priest] Be patient, Lex.
Give her a little more time.
Wedding-day jitters are to be expected.
She's not coming.
I've loved you since the first moment I saw you.
Will you marry me?
It's too corny, huh?
[Organist playing mendelssohn's "wedding march"]
[Priest] Do you, Alexander Luthor, take Lana lang
to be your wife in the holy state of matrimony?
Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her
in sickness and in health
for richer, for poorer
and forsaking all others, as long as you both shall live?
I do.
[Priest] And do you, Lana lang
take Alexander Luthor to be your husband
in the holy state of matrimony?
Do you promise to love him
comfort him, honor and keep him
in sickness and in health
for richer, for poorer
and forsaking all others as long as you both shall live?
I do.
[Mouthing]
[Priest] May I present to you
Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Luthor.
[All applauding]
I never thought it was possible to be this happy.
How did I ever turn out to be the man
who gets to spend the rest of his life with you?
Okay.
I'll just get my things
Mrs. Luthor.
[Sobbing]
[Knocking on door]
I'll be right there.
I waited for you.
Clark.
What happened?
I'm really sorry.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
But I wanna be with Lex.
That's not true.
He got to you, didn't he?
Please just believe me and let it go.
Let it go?
Let it go? Lana, I love you.
- I love you. - Clark, don't.
Tell me what he did.
What did Lex do? You don't have to stay with him.
He didn't do anything. I've made my decision.
I just wanna be with him.
Why do you keep saying that?
Lana, we should be together.
I want this more than I've ever wanted anything.
And I know that you do too.
I've had a change of heart.
You don't mean that.
Is this because of my secret?
Lana, I'll tell you.
I'm not like everyone else. I'm...
- No, Clark, you have to go. - No.
Not until you look me in the eye and you tell me
that you'd rather spend the rest of your life with Lex Luthor
instead of me.
I'm sorry, Clark.
I love Lex.
[Door opens]
Congratulations, son.
Thanks, dad.
And why do I get the feeling that's not all you came to say?
Good to see the euphoria of your wedding day
hasn't tempered your cynicism.
I guess old habits die hard.
And apparently some are next to impossible to kill, aren't they?
[Chuckles]
Do you sit up at night practicing this stuff?
How could you be so stupid?
A grown man on his wedding day
and you need me to come to the rescue again.
You are pathetic.
I don't know what you're talking about.
[Lionel] Don't play the fool with me, Lex.
There's a crypt down below that has gotten a little over-crowded.
- It was an accident. - Of course it was.
You don't have the guts to plan a successful murder.
And if anyone should discover that the fresh corpse downstairs
happens to be your bride's physician
they just might stumble onto the truth
about Lana's pregnancy.
She's made a desperate man of you, Lex.
Okay.
You win.
Whatever you want, it's yours.
- Control of LuthorCorp, 33.1? - You don't have to worry, Lex.
You'll know when it's time for me to collect.
[Door opens]
Thanks, dad.
Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.
Mrs. Luthor.
Welcome to the family.
[Sentimental music playing]
Got no trouble today
with anyone
the smile on your face
I live only to see
it's enough for me, baby
it's enough for me
oh, heavenly day, heavenly day
heavenly day
no one on my shoulder
bringing me fears
got no clouds up above me bringing me tears
got nothing to tell you I got nothing much to say
only I'm glad to be here with you
on this heavenly, heavenly day
heavenly day, heavenly day heavenly day
oh, heavenly
day
[Closing theme music playing]
