1
00:00:01,668 --> 00:00:03,712
Previously on Smallville...

2
00:00:05,547 --> 00:00:07,799
Isn't it time to move beyond
these mental trials?

3
00:00:07,883 --> 00:00:11,887
When you decided to return to
your training, I assumed you were ready.

4
00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:14,449
- Tell me what you need from me.
- The test of a true hero

5
00:00:14,473 --> 00:00:18,685
is to struggle with feelings of loss,
not to avoid them.

6
00:00:18,769 --> 00:00:21,522
I've come this far,
and I'm not looking back. I can do this.

7
00:00:22,064 --> 00:00:24,858
I need you to pull an address
off of queen industries' database.

8
00:00:24,942 --> 00:00:26,735
It's an engineer
that I fired six years ago.

9
00:00:26,818 --> 00:00:27,861
His name's winslow schott.

10
00:00:27,945 --> 00:00:29,631
- What happened?
- He snapped.

11
00:00:29,655 --> 00:00:32,783
He started bringing toys to work.
Then he started hiding explosives

12
00:00:32,866 --> 00:00:33,992
inside the toys.

13
00:00:34,576 --> 00:00:37,162
Oliver queen,
what are you doing in enemy camp?

14
00:00:37,246 --> 00:00:40,332
I've purchased
controlling interest in LuthorCorp.

15
00:00:40,415 --> 00:00:42,167
Everybody down!

16
00:00:43,835 --> 00:00:46,213
How does it feel to not be
in control for once?

17
00:00:46,296 --> 00:00:47,339
Untie me right now.

18
00:00:47,422 --> 00:00:50,676
After this little fella
clangs his cymbals together 53 times

19
00:00:50,759 --> 00:00:52,427
it'll be the last sound you ever hear.

20
00:00:55,222 --> 00:00:57,891
Pieces of a toy bomb
were found in the wreckage.

21
00:00:58,016 --> 00:00:59,452
Lex deserved to die, Chloe.

22
00:00:59,476 --> 00:01:01,895
- This is murder.
- This is justice.

23
00:01:02,020 --> 00:01:05,023
Oliver crossed the line.
He killed Lex Luthor.

24
00:01:05,649 --> 00:01:07,109
You're making a big mistake.

25
00:01:07,401 --> 00:01:10,028
- What the he” were you so afraid of?
- You.

26
00:01:11,488 --> 00:01:14,700
- Maybe we should start over.
- It's too late for that now.

27
00:01:15,075 --> 00:01:16,118
You need help.

28
00:01:16,201 --> 00:01:18,054
Not everybody believes in
the second coming.

29
00:01:18,078 --> 00:01:20,398
Is there any part of the person
I used to know still there?

30
00:01:20,831 --> 00:01:22,850
I took a look in the mirror
and you were right.

31
00:01:22,874 --> 00:01:25,085
I've been running away from myself
for a long time now.

32
00:01:25,168 --> 00:01:27,004
But now I know who I really am.

33
00:02:04,750 --> 00:02:06,835
All right, people,
let's set up a perimeter.

34
00:02:06,918 --> 00:02:08,104
Somebody get me a damn sightline.

35
00:02:08,128 --> 00:02:09,808
We don't know how many hostages
are inside.

36
00:02:09,838 --> 00:02:10,714
You, get me a barricade.

37
00:02:10,797 --> 00:02:12,677
Last thing we need is anyone
getting in our way.

38
00:02:14,551 --> 00:02:15,927
Let's go. Let's move it.

39
00:02:44,247 --> 00:02:46,291
Don't bother pulling the trigger.

40
00:03:46,476 --> 00:03:48,979
Clark. Did I miss him?

41
00:03:49,062 --> 00:03:52,899
- If by "him" you mean me, barely.
- Not you, the blur.

42
00:03:52,983 --> 00:03:55,986
Oh, he was long gone
by the time I got here.

43
00:03:56,069 --> 00:03:57,612
I was just trying to call you.

44
00:03:57,696 --> 00:04:00,949
- From a payphone?
- Apparently.

45
00:04:01,032 --> 00:04:03,076
How'd you get here so fast, anyway?

46
00:04:03,827 --> 00:04:06,538
My guy at met pd didn't leak this
until a few minutes ago.

47
00:04:06,621 --> 00:04:08,790
We all can't be as fashionably late
as Lois Lane.

48
00:04:17,674 --> 00:04:21,178
Oh. Hello, sailor.

49
00:04:26,933 --> 00:04:29,603
- What'd you just say?
- Nothing.

50
00:04:29,686 --> 00:04:31,396
You should get your hearing checked.

51
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,023
Hot stuff.

52
00:04:38,862 --> 00:04:42,449
Somebody save me

53
00:04:44,451 --> 00:04:47,913
let your warm hands
break right through

54
00:04:47,996 --> 00:04:52,459
somebody save me

55
00:04:54,753 --> 00:04:58,507
don't care how you do it

56
00:04:58,590 --> 00:05:02,594
just stay, stay

57
00:05:03,345 --> 00:05:05,055
come on

58
00:05:05,138 --> 00:05:08,850
I've been waiting for you

59
00:05:08,934 --> 00:05:11,561
just stay with me

60
00:05:14,648 --> 00:05:18,860
I've made this whole world
shine for you

61
00:05:18,944 --> 00:05:22,030
just stay, stay

62
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:26,326
come on

63
00:05:33,583 --> 00:05:36,670
God, I am dragging ass today.
I should go for coffee.

64
00:05:36,753 --> 00:05:38,588
No, no.
What I actually need is a b12 shot.

65
00:05:38,672 --> 00:05:40,590
I have to keep up with Clark.

66
00:05:40,674 --> 00:05:42,443
You know, you gotta remember
what the general always says.

67
00:05:42,467 --> 00:05:44,028
"On certain days,
you wear certain underwear."

68
00:05:44,052 --> 00:05:46,471
And why today of all days
you decided to go with a tho...

69
00:05:49,724 --> 00:05:51,142
Hey, Smallville.

70
00:06:00,026 --> 00:06:01,194
You're in a good mood today.

71
00:06:01,278 --> 00:06:02,946
Would be in an even better one

72
00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:04,406
if our black-clad hero in hiding

73
00:06:04,489 --> 00:06:06,575
would've stuck around long enough
for a quote.

74
00:06:06,658 --> 00:06:09,661
We'd at least know
what the hell happened back there.

75
00:06:11,162 --> 00:06:13,307
What happened back there
is the blur saved all those hostages.

76
00:06:13,331 --> 00:06:14,165
End of story.

77
00:06:14,249 --> 00:06:15,685
There's always more to the story,
grasshopper.

78
00:06:15,709 --> 00:06:18,187
Word on the street is the bomber
isn't the one who flipped the switch.

79
00:06:18,211 --> 00:06:19,045
It was on a timer.

80
00:06:19,129 --> 00:06:21,089
Why would the bomb be on a timer?

81
00:06:22,340 --> 00:06:23,925
I don't know. I'm not a mind reader.

82
00:06:24,009 --> 00:06:26,553
Why would you take hostages
and not make any demands?

83
00:06:27,470 --> 00:06:31,266
No voice mails. No e-mails.
Just be a big girl and get over the fact

84
00:06:31,349 --> 00:06:35,812
that the blur downgraded you
from confidante to sidekick to nobody.

85
00:06:35,896 --> 00:06:37,272
Lois.

86
00:06:38,857 --> 00:06:40,775
Computer's frozen again.

87
00:06:43,486 --> 00:06:45,166
Doesn't help
that stupid intern Jeff

88
00:06:45,196 --> 00:06:48,742
took the last stupid maple doughnut
from the stupid doughnut box.

89
00:06:51,661 --> 00:06:53,163
Here you go.

90
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:55,457
My eyes are bigger
than my stomach this morning.

91
00:06:56,499 --> 00:06:58,710
No. Okay, I love you.

92
00:06:59,294 --> 00:07:02,339
Bump in blood sugar might help you
from punching someone.

93
00:07:02,505 --> 00:07:05,008
True. Give me that.

94
00:07:07,594 --> 00:07:08,929
Why ever whoever did what he did,

95
00:07:09,012 --> 00:07:11,282
he couldn't have picked a less
interesting place to have done it.

96
00:07:11,306 --> 00:07:12,682
Run-of-the-mill textile factory?

97
00:07:12,766 --> 00:07:15,494
Run-of-the-mill textile factory which is
a subsidiary of queen industries.

98
00:07:15,518 --> 00:07:17,646
You think it'd be enough
to get Oliver's attention.

99
00:07:18,355 --> 00:07:21,191
That only matters
if Ollie's sober enough to give a crap.

100
00:07:21,816 --> 00:07:24,110
- You might be right.
- What'd you say?

101
00:07:25,654 --> 00:07:28,198
- What?
- What?

102
00:07:36,998 --> 00:07:38,059
Chloe, thanks for meeting me.

103
00:07:38,083 --> 00:07:40,460
- I know you've been busy.
- What am I thinking right now?

104
00:07:41,002 --> 00:07:43,463
No clue. So far, it's only been Lois.

105
00:07:44,005 --> 00:07:45,131
Okay.

106
00:07:45,215 --> 00:07:49,010
Well, I know that my wall of weird
is so three upgrades ago,

107
00:07:49,094 --> 00:07:51,721
but I've spent enough time
digitizing the strange

108
00:07:51,805 --> 00:07:56,726
and unexplained in my life
to know that you don't just catch esp.

109
00:07:56,810 --> 00:07:57,954
So the question is, how do we know

110
00:07:57,978 --> 00:08:00,438
that this isn't just your super-hearing
on the Fritz?

111
00:08:00,522 --> 00:08:03,358
As loud as Lois is, even she can't speak
with her mouth closed.

112
00:08:04,693 --> 00:08:06,194
Good point.

113
00:08:06,277 --> 00:08:09,322
Okay, well, I'll see what I can dig up,
but seriously, Clark

114
00:08:09,406 --> 00:08:10,824
unless your warranty's expired,

115
00:08:10,907 --> 00:08:13,159
why don't you just check in
with dear old dad?

116
00:08:14,452 --> 00:08:15,537
You okay?

117
00:08:16,830 --> 00:08:21,001
Yeah, I'd just like to bypass
Lois' inside voice from here on out.

118
00:08:21,084 --> 00:08:22,127
I'm fine.

119
00:08:23,420 --> 00:08:25,296
I'll keep you posted.

120
00:08:31,886 --> 00:08:34,597
Can't miss this meeting,
or I'm gonna get fired.

121
00:08:35,390 --> 00:08:36,870
This isn't the life I wanted.

122
00:08:36,933 --> 00:08:38,727
You should've told me that before.

123
00:08:55,994 --> 00:08:57,662
Jor-El.

124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:01,583
Reading people's thoughts.

125
00:09:02,250 --> 00:09:04,753
You said my trials had begun.
Is this one of them?

126
00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:07,630
I planted within you
the seeds for this trial

127
00:09:07,797 --> 00:09:11,593
designed to self-manifest
when most needed.

128
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,845
An event must've happened to trigger it,

129
00:09:14,012 --> 00:09:16,473
some kind of error
or mistake in judgment.

130
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:18,600
I don't understand.

131
00:09:18,767 --> 00:09:20,894
I saved everyone in that factory.

132
00:09:21,644 --> 00:09:22,937
Assumptions are flaws

133
00:09:23,021 --> 00:09:25,815
inherent in the human instincts
you have adopted,

134
00:09:25,899 --> 00:09:27,942
but they are beneath you.

135
00:09:28,026 --> 00:09:31,946
What you have yet to nurture
is your Kryptonian intuition.

136
00:09:32,447 --> 00:09:36,534
- You shouldn't underestimate humans.
- Neither should you.

137
00:09:37,035 --> 00:09:40,538
Being able to discern
why humans truly behave as they do

138
00:09:40,622 --> 00:09:43,458
will help you to better protect them.

139
00:09:43,541 --> 00:09:48,963
This ability is only temporary.
You must learn to focus, kal-ei.

140
00:09:49,047 --> 00:09:53,635
Perception can be the difference
between life and death.

141
00:10:00,058 --> 00:10:01,660
Look, I know
loose lips sink ships,

142
00:10:01,684 --> 00:10:04,687
but tight ones don't do
a hell of a lot of good, either.

143
00:10:06,564 --> 00:10:08,364
Listen, chatty Cathy,
we just need one answer.

144
00:10:08,441 --> 00:10:10,485
You were actually a hostage, right?

145
00:10:12,946 --> 00:10:15,490
This one's getting us nowhere.

146
00:10:15,573 --> 00:10:17,659
Do not let them find out.

147
00:10:17,742 --> 00:10:19,119
They can't send me back.

148
00:10:19,744 --> 00:10:21,412
My baby needs me.

149
00:10:22,038 --> 00:10:24,541
It's okay, you can talk to us.

150
00:10:24,624 --> 00:10:25,959
We're not ins.

151
00:10:30,380 --> 00:10:33,925
I am sorry. I saw a man.

152
00:10:42,142 --> 00:10:43,502
Okay, so let me get this straight.

153
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:45,121
You're saying the guy
who took you hostage

154
00:10:45,145 --> 00:10:50,066
was short and fat, but also tall?

155
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,319
Yeah, way taller
than your boyfriend there.

156
00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:56,072
Um, thin.

157
00:10:56,239 --> 00:10:57,907
Thin like a rail.

158
00:10:58,074 --> 00:11:01,953
This is so exciting.
I wonder who will talk to me next.

159
00:11:02,537 --> 00:11:05,415
The FBI? Maybe Interpol.

160
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,252
It's clear that this is the most
excitement you've had probably ever.

161
00:11:09,335 --> 00:11:12,964
Now, you can mislead us, but interfering
with a police investigation

162
00:11:13,047 --> 00:11:16,301
to keep yourself in the limelight
will only land you in jail.

163
00:11:16,384 --> 00:11:18,136
Is that understood?

164
00:11:18,678 --> 00:11:20,013
Huh.

165
00:11:24,350 --> 00:11:25,852
Sorry.

166
00:11:27,103 --> 00:11:28,646
I didn't see anything.

167
00:11:35,195 --> 00:11:39,449
I don't care how cute he is.
I better not get fired for this.

168
00:11:40,408 --> 00:11:42,827
I haven't seen you eat a thing all day.

169
00:11:43,786 --> 00:11:45,872
Owed you from earlier.
Low blood sugar and all.

170
00:11:49,417 --> 00:11:53,087
Oh, look at this.
Thanks for taking care of me.

171
00:11:53,171 --> 00:11:54,589
Wait.

172
00:11:57,467 --> 00:11:58,593
Now we're even.

173
00:12:00,511 --> 00:12:02,347
What else did you find out?

174
00:12:02,430 --> 00:12:05,642
Mr. Murphy, our mystery man's puppet,
just got out of surgery.

175
00:12:05,725 --> 00:12:07,977
He's still unconscious.

176
00:12:08,061 --> 00:12:09,938
Well, I've hit enough dead ends
for today.

177
00:12:10,021 --> 00:12:12,148
Really no reason
for us to keep hanging out here, huh?

178
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:14,317
You're absolutely right.

179
00:12:17,862 --> 00:12:19,781
Why don't we just call it a night?

180
00:12:20,615 --> 00:12:22,867
That's good. I have plans.

181
00:12:22,951 --> 00:12:25,453
Little lifetime
and some chunky monkey.

182
00:12:25,536 --> 00:12:27,622
Or rocky road. Maybe both.

183
00:12:27,705 --> 00:12:29,082
Lois.

184
00:12:32,377 --> 00:12:34,712
I was hoping we could
grab something to eat tonight

185
00:12:34,796 --> 00:12:36,047
once we finished up.

186
00:12:36,714 --> 00:12:39,759
You know, you said yourself
I hadn't eaten all day.

187
00:12:40,510 --> 00:12:43,304
Is Clark Kent
asking me out on a date?

188
00:12:43,471 --> 00:12:44,514
Like a "date" date?

189
00:12:44,681 --> 00:12:47,267
- I'm not saying we should go on a date.
- Oh.

190
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,937
Just something like a date.

191
00:12:51,646 --> 00:12:55,316
As sweet as that notion is, Smallville,
this is Metropolis on a Saturday night.

192
00:12:55,483 --> 00:12:58,111
We ain't getting in anywhere
without a reservation.

193
00:12:58,278 --> 00:13:00,571
Except maybe
the truck rally downtown,

194
00:13:00,738 --> 00:13:01,906
but there's no way he'd...

195
00:13:02,073 --> 00:13:04,260
We could probably still get tickets
to the monster-truck rally

196
00:13:04,284 --> 00:13:05,118
down at the coliseum.

197
00:13:05,201 --> 00:13:06,828
It doesn't start for a few more hours.

198
00:13:06,911 --> 00:13:08,538
Shut up.

199
00:13:10,331 --> 00:13:12,125
I'll meet you there.

200
00:13:12,208 --> 00:13:13,626
Standard protocol.

201
00:13:13,710 --> 00:13:16,587
Two cars at the beginning of the night,
no drama at the end of it.

202
00:14:14,228 --> 00:14:16,481
You going our way?

203
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,569
Barkeep, I'm gonna need,
um, something cold,

204
00:14:21,652 --> 00:14:24,781
tall, wet, sexy. Put, uh...

205
00:14:24,864 --> 00:14:26,091
Put one of these in it,
will you, please?

206
00:14:26,115 --> 00:14:27,115
Tres.

207
00:14:28,284 --> 00:14:32,330
Looks like I got dollar bills.
I got pesos. I got, uh...

208
00:14:33,414 --> 00:14:37,210
Is that a euro? I got this purple thing.
These are fun. Um...

209
00:14:38,378 --> 00:14:40,505
Listen, why don't we...
Just take the whole thing

210
00:14:40,588 --> 00:14:43,132
and have a little vacation on me.
How does that sound? Okay?

211
00:14:57,772 --> 00:15:00,233
What are you doing with my wife?

212
00:15:25,383 --> 00:15:26,426
Really?

213
00:15:43,568 --> 00:15:47,071
You know, mercy, if you wanted more
face time, all you had to do was ask.

214
00:15:54,370 --> 00:15:56,789
This is me asking.

215
00:16:12,472 --> 00:16:14,557
Whoa, Lois.

216
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,685
- Why so fancy?
- Monster trucks.

217
00:16:17,810 --> 00:16:19,270
- Monster trucks?
- Mm-hmm.

218
00:16:19,353 --> 00:16:21,113
Lois, I've seen you do
monster trucks before,

219
00:16:21,189 --> 00:16:22,982
and this is definitely more than that.

220
00:16:23,065 --> 00:16:26,861
I would say that this is strictly
rhinestones-on-mud-flaps territory.

221
00:16:26,986 --> 00:16:28,863
Who's the prince charming?

222
00:16:31,115 --> 00:16:33,576
I never thought
I'd say this out loud, but...

223
00:16:35,661 --> 00:16:36,913
Clark Kent.

224
00:16:38,915 --> 00:16:42,460
I know, right? It's the weirdest thing.
Of the five things to do in Kansas,

225
00:16:42,543 --> 00:16:45,630
Clark picked the one thing
I've wanted to do for weeks.

226
00:16:45,713 --> 00:16:48,591
We've been on the same wavelength
like all day today.

227
00:16:50,176 --> 00:16:53,930
I'll bet. Sort of like
he's been reading your mind?

228
00:16:54,305 --> 00:16:57,558
Like he's hearing things that
you've never actually said out loud?

229
00:16:57,642 --> 00:16:59,352
Exactly.

230
00:17:00,436 --> 00:17:02,522
Huh. That is the weirdest thing.

231
00:17:04,023 --> 00:17:06,943
Me and Clark. I don't know.

232
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:09,195
I mean, we certainly kick
all kinds of ass at work,

233
00:17:09,278 --> 00:17:14,283
but lately, it feels like we're more
than just partners, you know?

234
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:18,955
I think I've gotten so used
to carrying the load all by myself.

235
00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:21,541
What if I don't have to anymore,
you know?

236
00:17:21,624 --> 00:17:24,252
Clark and Lois versus the world.

237
00:17:25,378 --> 00:17:26,629
Oh, wow.

238
00:17:27,088 --> 00:17:29,173
Kind of lost myself
in there somewhere, huh?

239
00:17:30,591 --> 00:17:32,093
Don't wait up.

240
00:17:42,103 --> 00:17:46,232
He forced me to do it.
It wasn't me. I'm innocent.

241
00:17:46,315 --> 00:17:50,069
He strapped the bomb on me.
I just work there.

242
00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:54,824
He said toys weren't good enough.
He wants to play a game.

243
00:17:54,907 --> 00:17:58,327
He said queen will pay
for what he's done to him.

244
00:18:00,997 --> 00:18:01,998
Toyman.

245
00:18:10,923 --> 00:18:12,258
Let the games begin.

246
00:18:36,741 --> 00:18:39,118
What the hell were you thinking, Oliver?

247
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:44,915
- They could've killed you.
- Yeah.

248
00:18:46,876 --> 00:18:48,878
Didn't really give them a chance,
did you?

249
00:18:48,961 --> 00:18:51,422
And now we'll never know.

250
00:18:51,505 --> 00:18:54,467
Were you even aware
that one of your factories blew up?

251
00:18:56,260 --> 00:18:59,639
Do you give a damn
about anything anymore?

252
00:19:00,056 --> 00:19:01,700
Please tell me
you didn't waste all thatjet fuel

253
00:19:01,724 --> 00:19:03,643
to come down here
and deliver me a lecture.

254
00:19:03,726 --> 00:19:05,853
Your company's failing.

255
00:19:07,855 --> 00:19:10,983
Your stock is worth less
than you think of yourself right now.

256
00:19:12,526 --> 00:19:13,819
There's only so much more loss

257
00:19:13,903 --> 00:19:16,030
the shareholders will be
willing to accept.

258
00:19:16,614 --> 00:19:19,408
I'm tired of making excuses.

259
00:19:19,575 --> 00:19:21,661
Well, then why don't you stop
making excuses?

260
00:19:21,744 --> 00:19:23,913
Tell them the truth about me.

261
00:19:24,372 --> 00:19:25,790
Then you can become sole ceo.

262
00:19:25,873 --> 00:19:28,876
It'll be great for you.
It's what you always wanted, right?

263
00:19:33,214 --> 00:19:37,426
I've seen you go off the rails before,
but this...

264
00:19:39,512 --> 00:19:41,931
This vanishing act, huh?

265
00:19:42,390 --> 00:19:44,225
These binges.

266
00:19:45,184 --> 00:19:47,228
You're punishing yourself.

267
00:20:05,287 --> 00:20:07,623
Oliver, what did you do?

268
00:20:15,214 --> 00:20:19,427
No matter what this is about,
I understand.

269
00:20:21,429 --> 00:20:23,097
You know that.

270
00:20:29,353 --> 00:20:31,355
Just talk to me.

271
00:20:38,738 --> 00:20:41,699
You know, it sounds like you're the one
who needs to do the talking.

272
00:20:44,785 --> 00:20:48,873
So I guess the real question is,
what is it that you want from me?

273
00:20:56,922 --> 00:21:01,302
I need your pretty face
addressing our shareholders.

274
00:21:03,179 --> 00:21:05,765
Consider this one of the many favors
you owe me.

275
00:21:17,818 --> 00:21:18,903
Is that all you want?

276
00:21:20,154 --> 00:21:23,657
I've learned not to expect too much
from you, Oliver.

277
00:21:25,075 --> 00:21:26,619
Cheer up.

278
00:21:26,702 --> 00:21:30,122
You can fall down drunk in a gutter
as soon as it's done.

279
00:21:34,210 --> 00:21:36,253
Wheels up in 20.

280
00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:54,039
It's a good thing he can't hear
what I'm thinking, or else...

281
00:21:54,063 --> 00:21:55,898
Or else what, Chloe?

282
00:21:58,776 --> 00:22:01,046
Or else I would have to tell you
that I don't want you breaking

283
00:22:01,070 --> 00:22:02,112
my cousin's heart.

284
00:22:02,196 --> 00:22:03,572
Clark, how was I supposed to react

285
00:22:03,656 --> 00:22:06,659
when I find out that you've been
rifling through Lois' brain

286
00:22:06,742 --> 00:22:08,369
like you lost your keys in there?

287
00:22:08,452 --> 00:22:10,704
You can't just trick someone
into dating you.

288
00:22:10,788 --> 00:22:12,957
I didn't trick her into anything,
and it's not a date.

289
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,851
You didn't see her
when she left my apartment, Clark.

290
00:22:14,875 --> 00:22:16,210
Believe me, it was a date.

291
00:22:16,293 --> 00:22:18,879
And to add insult to injury,
now you're standing her up?

292
00:22:19,922 --> 00:22:21,799
No, I asked her out, not on a date,

293
00:22:21,882 --> 00:22:24,510
before I knew our bomber
was an innocent man.

294
00:22:27,888 --> 00:22:30,391
- Toyman's back.
- Winslow schott is responsible

295
00:22:30,474 --> 00:22:33,434
for the explosion at Oliver's building.
That's why I didn't call Lois back.

296
00:22:34,186 --> 00:22:38,065
The last thing I need is her showing up
here and following me into harm's way.

297
00:22:38,858 --> 00:22:41,235
Winslow's trying to smoke Oliver
out of hiding. He's insane.

298
00:22:41,694 --> 00:22:45,656
Yeah, he was crazy enough before Oliver
framed him for Lex's murder.

299
00:22:46,991 --> 00:22:48,260
If he's trying to track Oliver down,

300
00:22:48,284 --> 00:22:50,202
he won't have a hard time
doing it tonight.

301
00:22:52,079 --> 00:22:53,622
Oliver's addressing his shareholders

302
00:22:53,706 --> 00:22:56,750
at your requisite red-carpet,
black-tie aoc gala.

303
00:22:59,545 --> 00:23:00,856
All right, you head back to watchtower.

304
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,048
If winslow strikes again,
we need to move fast.

305
00:23:16,145 --> 00:23:18,272
Mr. Pierson.

306
00:23:18,439 --> 00:23:19,982
Kirkpatrick.

307
00:23:20,149 --> 00:23:25,946
Let's see. "Kendall. Kennair."
Ah, there it is. "Kirkpatrick."

308
00:23:27,573 --> 00:23:29,783
Have a good evening, Mr. Kirkpatrick.

309
00:23:30,367 --> 00:23:32,661
- Name?
- Kennair.

310
00:23:34,038 --> 00:23:35,998
You have a plus-one tonight,
Mr. Kennair.

311
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:48,385
- Lois.
- I can handle this, Smallville.

312
00:23:48,469 --> 00:23:51,931
- You've already done enough tonight.
- What are you doing here?

313
00:23:52,556 --> 00:23:55,351
Standing in the shadow
of 6.5 feet of handsome.

314
00:23:55,768 --> 00:23:59,772
No, Lois, he doesn't get off that easy.
Kick his ass.

315
00:24:01,023 --> 00:24:03,400
Do you honestly think
that stacked parking,

316
00:24:03,484 --> 00:24:06,028
not having a cocktail dress
and being three steps behind you

317
00:24:06,111 --> 00:24:08,614
on your mystery-man story
was gonna stand in my way, did you?

318
00:24:08,948 --> 00:24:12,701
Or that you hid the fact that Oliver
returned for the sake of an article?

319
00:24:13,410 --> 00:24:16,038
Clark, you can't get rid of me
that easily.

320
00:24:16,121 --> 00:24:18,374
I have the Internet on my phone.

321
00:24:19,541 --> 00:24:21,168
- I can explain.
- Oh.

322
00:24:21,710 --> 00:24:23,337
I know how the boys' club works.

323
00:24:23,420 --> 00:24:25,923
You wanted to scoop me on a story.
Prose before ho's.

324
00:24:26,006 --> 00:24:28,050
- Now, wait a second.
- Good evening.

325
00:24:28,133 --> 00:24:31,293
How could you be so stupid, Lois?
This was never about more than a story.

326
00:24:31,345 --> 00:24:33,472
Maybe it never will be.

327
00:24:35,849 --> 00:24:37,977
Foryoursake,
there better be an open bar

328
00:24:38,060 --> 00:24:41,313
because I think that bone dog
has my purse in his truck.

329
00:24:52,282 --> 00:24:55,202
You know, Lois, I don't need your help
on this one. I can do it on my own.

330
00:24:56,870 --> 00:25:00,541
Maybe you'd like to think that you can,
but we all know there's no way.

331
00:25:01,667 --> 00:25:03,252
This is my headline.

332
00:25:03,877 --> 00:25:06,922
Oh, god. Why would you
let yourself get attached, Lois?

333
00:25:07,006 --> 00:25:09,174
You know better than that.

334
00:25:09,758 --> 00:25:11,301
They always leave.

335
00:25:12,469 --> 00:25:14,513
You know what? Maybe you're right.

336
00:25:16,849 --> 00:25:19,768
I'm gonna get some air.
Some really private air.

337
00:25:19,935 --> 00:25:21,895
I'm out of here. Good luck flying solo.

338
00:25:24,982 --> 00:25:26,233
Lois.

339
00:25:28,986 --> 00:25:30,505
Maybe I should buy her a drink.

340
00:25:30,529 --> 00:25:32,906
I can't afford to lose any more money.

341
00:25:33,490 --> 00:25:35,325
Look at this party, huh?

342
00:25:35,451 --> 00:25:37,244
Mercer never should've...

343
00:25:37,369 --> 00:25:39,997
Oh, I hope this comes out in the wash.

344
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,600
Everyone said it was a gamble.

345
00:25:41,957 --> 00:25:43,560
This stock was supposed to put...

346
00:25:43,584 --> 00:25:46,211
She doesn't know
this suit is a rental. She can't.

347
00:25:46,295 --> 00:25:47,897
What the hell does she really want?

348
00:25:47,921 --> 00:25:49,649
I just can't afford
to lose any more money.

349
00:25:49,673 --> 00:25:51,467
If I leave, they'll follow me.

350
00:25:51,550 --> 00:25:54,094
Oh. So the devil came
in a blue dress tonight.

351
00:25:54,219 --> 00:25:55,721
Ladies and gentlemen...

352
00:25:57,473 --> 00:26:01,477
Your fearless leader, Oliver queen.

353
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:05,773
Look who decided
to grace us with his presence.

354
00:26:07,608 --> 00:26:09,860
Thank you.

355
00:26:09,943 --> 00:26:10,944
Thank you, everyone.

356
00:26:11,028 --> 00:26:13,697
I know this has been a trying year
for all of you.

357
00:26:13,781 --> 00:26:17,326
And hopefully I can remain upright
long enough to say what...

358
00:26:18,577 --> 00:26:20,329
Needs to be said.

359
00:26:21,622 --> 00:26:24,383
Obviously, whoever wrote this speech
has a pretty good sense of humor.

360
00:26:31,006 --> 00:26:32,966
Excuse me. It's my...

361
00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:38,180
Sorry. Technical difficulties here.
One moment.

362
00:26:52,653 --> 00:26:54,154
Thanks, dad.

363
00:26:54,738 --> 00:26:56,406
Oh, yes, Mr. Queen

364
00:26:56,532 --> 00:26:59,326
it's your old playmate, winslow schott.

365
00:26:59,409 --> 00:27:01,495
I'm sure you remember.

366
00:27:01,578 --> 00:27:04,373
You framed me for murder, after all.

367
00:27:06,708 --> 00:27:10,254
And now that I've finally won
your little game of hide-and-seek,

368
00:27:10,337 --> 00:27:13,966
I thought we might play something
that I'm a little more comfortable with.

369
00:27:14,049 --> 00:27:15,425
Toyman says...

370
00:27:16,009 --> 00:27:19,263
Read everything I've written,
or you will die.

371
00:27:19,346 --> 00:27:21,223
Toyman says

372
00:27:21,974 --> 00:27:24,268
don't try to run. Don't take a step.

373
00:27:24,351 --> 00:27:27,980
If you move one muscle,
I will kill everybody in this room.

374
00:27:29,022 --> 00:27:32,776
Toyman says
you're standing on a pressure plate.

375
00:27:34,319 --> 00:27:35,779
Toyman says

376
00:27:35,863 --> 00:27:37,948
you're standing on a bomb.

377
00:27:50,127 --> 00:27:52,671
I've never truly worked
a day in my life.

378
00:27:53,755 --> 00:27:57,050
Too busy gagging on the silver spoon...

379
00:27:58,135 --> 00:28:00,387
Wedged down my throat.

380
00:28:02,347 --> 00:28:05,767
And even when given
a second chance at life, I was, uh...

381
00:28:05,851 --> 00:28:08,687
I was unable
to see past my selfish nature.

382
00:28:09,104 --> 00:28:10,874
Oh, don't stop there, Mr. Queen.

383
00:28:10,898 --> 00:28:13,317
We haven't even gotten
to the good part yet.

384
00:28:19,406 --> 00:28:20,616
Time and again,

385
00:28:21,366 --> 00:28:24,828
I've put my own needs over the needs
of my devoted employees.

386
00:28:25,579 --> 00:28:28,219
In fact, the only thing I've ever
been selfless enough to part with

387
00:28:28,290 --> 00:28:30,083
is the blame...

388
00:28:34,546 --> 00:28:35,714
For a heinous act.

389
00:28:36,256 --> 00:28:38,175
No. Chloe, the trials aren't over.

390
00:28:38,258 --> 00:28:40,177
I just got my training wheels
taken away.

391
00:28:40,344 --> 00:28:42,346
I think Jor-El wants me to use
what I've learned.

392
00:28:42,429 --> 00:28:44,806
Can you hack the security feeds
of the building?

393
00:28:44,932 --> 00:28:47,059
- He's gotta be here somewhere.
- I'm on it.

394
00:28:47,601 --> 00:28:51,104
My name is Oliver queen,
and I am a coward.

395
00:28:52,105 --> 00:28:54,983
I'm a thief, and...

396
00:28:56,526 --> 00:28:58,195
And I am...

397
00:29:00,322 --> 00:29:01,657
Too ashamed to admit

398
00:29:01,740 --> 00:29:05,160
that you were really responsible
for killing Lex Luthor.

399
00:29:05,577 --> 00:29:08,038
You didn't think twice
about blaming me for it.

400
00:29:20,133 --> 00:29:21,903
Chloe, we have to get these people
out of here now.

401
00:29:21,927 --> 00:29:24,263
Oliver's standing on a landmine.

402
00:29:24,346 --> 00:29:25,555
Just give me one second.

403
00:29:28,016 --> 00:29:29,851
And I...

404
00:29:32,312 --> 00:29:33,605
Confess.

405
00:29:42,114 --> 00:29:44,408
The emergency alarm has been activated.

406
00:29:44,491 --> 00:29:48,954
Please move in an orderly fashion
to the nearest exit. Thank you.

407
00:29:49,329 --> 00:29:52,124
I'm not gonna ask. Nice one, Chloe.

408
00:29:55,669 --> 00:29:57,963
The emergency alarm has been activated.

409
00:29:58,046 --> 00:30:01,925
Please move in an orderly fashion
to the nearest exit. Thank you.

410
00:30:03,677 --> 00:30:05,846
Winslow, how do I disarm the bomb?

411
00:30:05,929 --> 00:30:09,933
I don't know who you are,
but you're interrupting my game.

412
00:30:10,017 --> 00:30:13,228
I can't go changing the rules
for someone who isn't even playing.

413
00:30:13,395 --> 00:30:18,984
- This isn't a game. It's a man's life.
- No. It is a game.

414
00:30:19,067 --> 00:30:21,069
And toyman makes the rules now.

415
00:30:21,695 --> 00:30:24,535
What you're doing is pointless.
Oliver would never let those people die.

416
00:30:26,116 --> 00:30:29,244
Please move in
an orderly fashion to the nearest exit.

417
00:30:30,537 --> 00:30:33,790
But you already know that, don't you?
You don't allow for human error.

418
00:30:33,957 --> 00:30:36,084
You have to control who wins.

419
00:30:36,168 --> 00:30:38,879
That's why you put a timer
on the factory bomb.

420
00:30:40,213 --> 00:30:42,966
The pressure plate that Oliver's
standing on is fake, isn't it?

421
00:30:43,050 --> 00:30:44,426
It's on a timer.

422
00:30:44,593 --> 00:30:46,595
You follow my work.

423
00:30:47,929 --> 00:30:50,223
It's always nice to have a fan.

424
00:30:51,933 --> 00:30:54,061
How long does Oliver have?

425
00:30:55,937 --> 00:30:56,980
Not long enough.

426
00:31:19,586 --> 00:31:21,671
You know what, toyman,
I might be your biggest fan.

427
00:31:21,755 --> 00:31:23,590
I know that the real winslow schott

428
00:31:23,673 --> 00:31:26,176
would wanna live
and dance on Oliver's grave.

429
00:31:26,259 --> 00:31:31,890
Five, four, three, two, two, two,

430
00:31:31,973 --> 00:31:36,019
two, two, two...

431
00:31:39,731 --> 00:31:42,317
No one wins a game if you both lose.

432
00:31:56,790 --> 00:31:58,917
How'd you know
the pressure plate wasn't real?

433
00:32:06,466 --> 00:32:07,717
I didn't.

434
00:32:11,888 --> 00:32:13,390
Oliver...

435
00:32:17,144 --> 00:32:20,230
I waited till the last person
got out, Clark.

436
00:32:23,275 --> 00:32:25,819
I knew the explosion wouldn't kill you.

437
00:32:50,927 --> 00:32:55,182
Winslow... yes, the real winslow.
Has been arrested.

438
00:32:55,265 --> 00:32:57,684
Chloe was able to follow the feed
from the earpiece.

439
00:32:59,895 --> 00:33:02,564
He's on the way to stryker's
as we speak.

440
00:33:07,903 --> 00:33:09,362
Speak your mind, Clark.

441
00:33:12,532 --> 00:33:15,410
I haven't been paying enough attention
to everything.

442
00:33:17,287 --> 00:33:19,915
There's been danger all around me
that I haven't seen.

443
00:33:21,541 --> 00:33:24,169
Warning signs that I haven't noticed.

444
00:33:26,796 --> 00:33:30,008
And people in need that I've neglected.

445
00:33:31,384 --> 00:33:33,929
I didn't realize how bad things are.

446
00:33:39,184 --> 00:33:41,436
I haven't been here for you. I'm sorry.

447
00:33:41,603 --> 00:33:45,065
Well, with all due respect, Clark,
I'm not sure I'm worth your concern.

448
00:33:46,149 --> 00:33:48,360
You know, when I was reading
that speech in there,

449
00:33:48,443 --> 00:33:50,320
when I decided to, uh...

450
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,284
That speech wasn'tjust a laundry list
of all my sins. It was...

451
00:33:58,870 --> 00:34:00,372
It was a fact sheet.

452
00:34:01,998 --> 00:34:04,918
Ever tell you how old I was
when my parents died?

453
00:34:07,045 --> 00:34:08,088
Five.

454
00:34:09,005 --> 00:34:11,508
I never really knew them very well.

455
00:34:11,591 --> 00:34:15,762
Everything about my life
is not really mine.

456
00:34:17,264 --> 00:34:18,890
It's theirs.

457
00:34:21,977 --> 00:34:23,728
I didn't earn it.

458
00:34:25,939 --> 00:34:27,649
And it's all a lie.

459
00:34:30,569 --> 00:34:33,905
You of all people know
what it's like to wear a mask, right?

460
00:34:36,366 --> 00:34:37,951
That's all this is.

461
00:34:38,034 --> 00:34:40,412
The queen name.

462
00:34:40,495 --> 00:34:42,622
Green arrow.

463
00:34:45,333 --> 00:34:46,876
Masks.

464
00:34:47,794 --> 00:34:50,922
And I just realized
there's nothing underneath them.

465
00:34:52,924 --> 00:34:56,928
There is something behind those masks.
You're just afraid to face it.

466
00:35:00,473 --> 00:35:02,434
You're not running away
from who you are.

467
00:35:02,517 --> 00:35:05,103
You're running away
from who you think you're becoming.

468
00:35:06,479 --> 00:35:08,315
But you don't have to face it alone.

469
00:35:11,401 --> 00:35:14,738
Just because you've given up
on Oliver queen doesn't mean I have.

470
00:35:18,908 --> 00:35:20,452
Thank you.

471
00:35:25,999 --> 00:35:27,667
Sounds like they're playing your song.

472
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,715
Go on, get the hell out of here.
Go be a hero. Go.

473
00:35:56,905 --> 00:36:01,368
I want my lawyer!

474
00:36:02,369 --> 00:36:06,081
Hello? Hello?

475
00:36:06,873 --> 00:36:10,919
I want my lawyer!
I know you can hear me out there!

476
00:36:20,053 --> 00:36:21,846
Loud and clear, Mr. Schott.

477
00:36:21,930 --> 00:36:27,143
Oh, I know you.
You're Oliver queen's business partner.

478
00:36:28,103 --> 00:36:31,398
Sorry about
trying to kill your boyfriend.

479
00:36:35,026 --> 00:36:36,986
You're not here for revenge, are you?

480
00:36:45,495 --> 00:36:47,706
Something like that.

481
00:36:50,291 --> 00:36:54,129
Leave Oliver the hell alone.

482
00:36:58,633 --> 00:37:01,594
- Pretty please?
- Help! Someone!

483
00:37:03,012 --> 00:37:04,097
Help!

484
00:37:07,350 --> 00:37:09,561
The guard will be back here any minute.

485
00:37:09,894 --> 00:37:11,062
You're crazy.

486
00:37:11,187 --> 00:37:13,481
That guard is going
on administrative leave,

487
00:37:13,565 --> 00:37:16,192
and he and I have a little agreement.

488
00:37:18,653 --> 00:37:20,488
See, you tried to escape.

489
00:37:20,572 --> 00:37:23,575
And he was only defending himself
when he shot you in the knee.

490
00:37:23,700 --> 00:37:25,827
No. No, please.

491
00:37:26,786 --> 00:37:28,705
They'll put me in solitary.

492
00:37:30,749 --> 00:37:32,250
No. No.

493
00:37:32,333 --> 00:37:34,377
Which is exactly where you'll need to be

494
00:37:34,461 --> 00:37:37,213
to spend some quality time
with your new toy.

495
00:37:37,839 --> 00:37:39,257
What new toy?

496
00:38:00,528 --> 00:38:02,113
It's...

497
00:38:04,282 --> 00:38:06,284
It's beautiful.

498
00:38:06,659 --> 00:38:09,454
Yes, it is.

499
00:38:12,665 --> 00:38:18,087
It's a meteor-rock-powered heart,
and you're gonna tell me how it works.

500
00:38:57,836 --> 00:39:00,505
You missed all the excitement
last night.

501
00:39:02,173 --> 00:39:04,693
If I remember correctly,
it wasn't my excitement to have missed.

502
00:39:05,844 --> 00:39:06,970
Was it?

503
00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:09,889
I was expecting
to read about the exploits

504
00:39:09,973 --> 00:39:12,892
of Metropolis' journalistic savior
this morning.

505
00:39:13,852 --> 00:39:16,812
Well, that's the thing. I think I may
have bitten off more than I can chew.

506
00:39:18,106 --> 00:39:19,732
Really?

507
00:39:20,733 --> 00:39:22,193
What's this?

508
00:39:23,570 --> 00:39:25,321
It's, uh...

509
00:39:27,115 --> 00:39:28,575
It's me asking for help.

510
00:39:31,995 --> 00:39:33,872
I didn't exactly finish
my story last night,

511
00:39:33,955 --> 00:39:35,456
and I missed the deadline.

512
00:39:38,376 --> 00:39:39,961
Okay.

513
00:39:43,339 --> 00:39:45,884
I guess I'm not ready to fly solo
just yet.

514
00:39:49,178 --> 00:39:51,472
The sky is a big place.

515
00:39:52,098 --> 00:39:53,308
Uh-huh.

516
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,561
Wow.

517
00:40:08,948 --> 00:40:10,617
There.

518
00:40:11,951 --> 00:40:14,370
Looks like you've got
one too many names on there.

519
00:40:17,206 --> 00:40:20,001
I just thought you'd wanna have
some creative input.

520
00:40:22,879 --> 00:40:26,049
Lois, I am sorry for letting you down.

521
00:40:31,387 --> 00:40:33,264
Is this an olive branch?

522
00:40:33,348 --> 00:40:36,225
Because there better be a whole tree
somewhere in here.

523
00:40:37,310 --> 00:40:40,855
And maybe a new pair ofjeans, too.

524
00:40:40,939 --> 00:40:44,275
You know, it's not every day
Lois Lane allows herself to be stood up.

525
00:40:45,026 --> 00:40:48,071
Well, then it's a good thing
it was only like a date.

526
00:40:49,614 --> 00:40:50,949
Huh.

527
00:40:52,367 --> 00:40:53,618
I don't even know how someone

528
00:40:53,701 --> 00:40:56,537
would get a second date
after messing things up like that.

529
00:40:58,623 --> 00:41:02,001
Well, if people were
to try that again...

530
00:41:03,002 --> 00:41:06,130
They might wanna do it
on a slower news day.

531
00:41:07,131 --> 00:41:08,758
Hypothetically speaking.

532
00:41:09,592 --> 00:41:11,719
Well, those don't come along very often.

533
00:41:16,766 --> 00:41:20,186
I'm sure people would make sure
they got it right the next time.

534
00:41:21,020 --> 00:41:23,648
Hypothetically speaking, of course.

535
00:41:28,152 --> 00:41:30,196
My thoughts exactly.
