Trust me, the news gamecan be brutal.

You inhaleda lot of smoke, bette.
We're gonna give youa little fresh air.

54
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,100
Take slow,deep breaths.

55

You were hard to miss. Look at me.

63
00:06:17,700 --> 00:06:20,100
Well, bette, apart frombreathing in all that smoke,
you're gonna be okay.

64
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,000
We should still get you to
met general just to be sure.

65
00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:23,300
You think you can make itto my rig?

66
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,500
Okay.

67
00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:27,800

00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:29,700

00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:34,800
Thank youfor your help.

71
00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:38,200
Straight to the hospit.

You're gonna be okay. You'll be all right.

73
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,000
- Excuse me. Mind taking a look?
- Yeah.

74
00:06:44,500 --> 00:06:46,100
There was a womanwith red hair.

75
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,200
I helped her get out of the bus, and the
paramedics took her.Do you knowif she's all right?

76
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:53,200
A lot of peoplehave been coming in and out,
but the mosteriously injuredare at the hospital.

77
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,600
- You should try there.
- Thank you.

78
00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:57,700
Hey. Clark.

79
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,000
Chloe? You all right?

80
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:06,200
Yeah. I just got here. I just helped this girl
who was on the bus. What happened?

81
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:09,300
Well, I heard there wasa bomb on the bus,
but I haven't had a chanceto check it out.

82
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:11,900
Even a dress shirt can't hide
the hero in you, huh, clark?

83
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,500
Heck of a first dayat the office.

84
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,900
Well,that's why I'm there -
so I can be aroundto help more people.

85
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,400
Working at the daily planet,
I'll hear about every crisisas it happens.

86
00:07:19,700 --> 00:07:21,400
I just wish thatyou were there with.

87
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,200
You know, now that lexisn't running things...

88
00:07:24,300 --> 00:07:28,700
yeah. I've spentalmost my entire life
praying tothe gods of journalism.

89
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,900
It might be kind of niceto try something new,
you know? See how it feels.

90
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,100
Now you're readyfor a change?

91
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,800
Actually, uh... there's pretty bigchanges.

92
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:45,300
Apparently the goddessof journalism
is wondering where I am.

93
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,700
With lois on the case,
it's gonna get harderto duck away to save the day.

94
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,400
If I could hide my secretfrom you,
I think I can handleyour cousin.

95
00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:55,200
Good luck with that.

96
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,100
I got to go.

97
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,000
Uh, tell lois that I saidto take it easy on you.

98
00:08:13,100 --> 00:08:15,200
Whoa, clark. What happened? Are you okay?

99
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:17,400
Why? Were you worried about me?

100
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:21,900
Uh, no. I'm trying to chase downa lead on this
story. I don't want to have tochase after you, too.

101
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,300
Hey, did you happento hear anything
while you were out theremaking your ash angels?

102
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:27,700
Actually, I did -

103
00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:30,500
the policethink the bomb misfired
since there weren'tany casualties.

104
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,800
Didn't feel like a misfireto me.

105
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,200
All right. Who's your source?

106
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,300
I'm sorry, lois. I didn't get a name.

107
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,100
I was too busy -you know, helping people?

108
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,100
Okay. Rule number one -always know your source.

109
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,200
I understand.

110
00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:53,015
Look, if you're gonnateach a classon
lois lane's rulesof reporting,

111
00:08:53,177 --> 00:08:54,927
I think I'd rather readthe cliff notes.

112
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,600
Boss wants tosee you - now.

113
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,600
Okay, my first official meeting
with our latest leader.

114
00:09:01,700 --> 00:09:03,800
Not you - kent.

115
00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:07,800
Oh. Well, you're gonna wantto clean yourself up.

116
00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:12,900
Uh, rule number two - alwaysmake a good
first impression and don't screw upwith the boss.

117
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:15,700
I thinkthat's two rules.

118
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,700
Whatever. Try not to get fired
on your first day, okay?

119
00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:33,600
Mr. Kent. Go right in.

120
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:39,500
Have a seat, mr. Kent.

121
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,600
Tess mercer,acting C.E. O. Of luthorcorp.

122
00:09:53,900 --> 00:09:55,100
You're my boss?

123
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,200
You weren't this shy when I was
the damsel in distress, kent.

124
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,000
Don't tell me you're intimidated
by a powerful woman.

125
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:04,100
No, I just -I'm surprised to
see you back at work so soon.

126
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,900
I have big shoes to fill.
And the paramedics saidthat I was fine.

127
00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:13,600
It's unusual, isn't it -for the new C.E.O.
Of luthorcorp to be taking the bus to work?

128
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:17,500
I'm going green.
You know, doing what I canto save the planet.

129
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,600
But, for the sakeof the shareholders,
let's keep thatbetween ourselves, hmm?

130
00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:24,800
Seems we were destinedto meet.

131
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,000
I already had youon my to-do list today.

132
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,800
Lex told meall about you.

133
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,700
Well, not much to tell,really.

134
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:45,100
He said you have a thingfor saving people?

135
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,800
And after this morning,I'd say that's true.

136
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,900
Ever sincelex's disappearance, I have used
all of luthorcorp'sresources to find him.

137
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:56,400
- Do you have any leads?
- The world's a big place.

138
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,100
I was hoping his good friend
could tell me where to look.

139
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,900
The lex luthor that I knew disappeared years ago.

140
00:11:06,300 --> 00:11:08,600
It's been a long timesince we were friends.

141
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:12,400
I don't knowwhat happened to him.

142
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,000
Fair enough.

143
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,900
But if you do thinkof something,
please give me a call.

144
00:11:20,700 --> 00:11:22,500
And, clark...

145
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,000
you were extraordinaryout there.

146
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,500
Thank youfor saving my life.

147
00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:40,100
I saw how this jobconsumed lex's life.

148
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,800
I'd hate to see the same thinghappen to yours.

149
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,000
- Handsome.
- And a liar.

150
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,300
He's hiding something.

151
00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:02,200
- I'll have someonewatch him.
- No.

152
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:05,000
I'll keep an eyeon this one personally.

153
00:12:25,700 --> 00:12:30,200
hi. Doc says I'm okay,but I feel like
I just threwdown with a carton of cloves.

154
00:12:30,300 --> 00:12:34,084
Well, I figuredyou'd be hungry,
so, unfortunately, it's meat-loaf mondays,

155
00:12:34,138 --> 00:12:35,701
but I did score yousome curly fries.

156
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:40,100
Are you kidding? Hot food's
good any day of the week. Thanks.

157
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,300
I, uh, I'm surprisedyour parents aren'T... here.

158
00:12:46,300 --> 00:12:48,247
Look, it's really cool what
you did for meand everything,

159
00:12:48,347 --> 00:12:51,643
but it doesn't mean
I have to tell youmy life story.

160
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,200
I wasn't asking.

161
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:01,600
I haven't seen themin years.
I'm kind of in between homesright now.

162
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,700
You know, why don't I grab you
a soda to wash that down?

163
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:17,300
- Hey.
- Davis. Hi.

164
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,700
- How's she doing?
- Uh, she gota clean bill of health.

165
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,700
But, um, I just found outthat she's a street kid.

166
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,400
So I was gonna drop her off
at the city shelter tonight.

167
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:34,100
She's a 15-year-old girl,chloe. You really
thinkshe's gonna be safeat the metropolisshelter?

168
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:36,400
Not too streetwise,are you?

169
00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:38,600
I was just tryingto help.

170
00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:43,100
If you have any ideas,please, step up.
Do something.

171
00:13:52,500 --> 00:13:55,700
So, I hear that you needa place to stay?

172
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,700
Not really.

173
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,700
But if you did,I have a friend,
and she runs a home,and it's pretty nice.

174
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,000
Is she some kindof religious nut?
'Cause I don't really rollwith the holy.

175
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:15,300
It's not like that.
She helps girls learnsome skills, score a job.

176
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,400
I can get youan application.

177
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:20,900
Or...you can forget it.
It's your choice.

178
00:14:21,900 --> 00:14:25,100
Look, bett c youanstay with me tonight
if you need to.

179
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:30,600
You're nice, chloe.
Kind of like a girl scout.

180
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:33,100
I don't want to beyour latest merit badge.

181
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,200
Okay. I'm gonna take my thin mintsand head home.

182
00:14:37,300 --> 00:14:40,100
I thought you might want
a safe place to stay tonight.

183
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,500
But would I still bea free agent?

184
00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:48,300
As long as you promiseto think about davis' offer.

185
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:54,900
Okay, I'm in.

186
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:56,700
Great. Let's go.

187
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,700
That new boss, she reallycame out of nowhere, huh?

188
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,000
You tell me. You're the one
who just spentquality time with her.

189
00:15:08,300 --> 00:15:10,200
She just wantedto welcome me aboard.

190
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:13,500
Don't try to keep secretsfrom me, clark.
Tess mercer isa pit bull in prada.

191
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:18,100
There's no way she'd roll outthe welcome matfor
a copyboy, no matterhow charming his smile is.

192
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,000
You think I havea charming smile?

193
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,400
I think you're aboutto lose some teeth
if you don't tell mewhat she said.

194
00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:25,300
Lois, you sound likea jealous girlfriend.

195
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,500
Jealous. Of you?

196
00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:31,800
Please. That would be like willie mays
being jealous of a batboy.

197
00:15:32,700 --> 00:15:34,400
Watch and learn.

198
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,300
Hi. Lois lane - daily planet.

199
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,300
- Care to show me around?
- No press allowed.

200
00:15:50,900 --> 00:15:52,300
Swing and a miss?

201
00:15:53,100 --> 00:15:55,200
I'm just getting started.

202
00:16:00,300 --> 00:16:01,300
Excuse me.

203
00:16:02,100 --> 00:16:05,000
Do you like baseball? Who's yourfavorite player?

204
00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:10,400
Because I can get you a signed photograph of
anyone you wantif you just do methis little favor.

205
00:16:10,500 --> 00:16:12,900
Sorry, ma'am. No one's allowed in.

206
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,400
- What's your name,officer?
- Officer derek.

207
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,800
***It's got to bea mistake.

208
00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:24,500
No mistake, sir. We haven't found
one shredof explosive material.

209
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,600
No residue. There's nodetonator.There's nothing.

210
00:16:27,700 --> 00:16:29,100
I'm telling you -there was no bomb on that bus.

211
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:30,400
Wake up, smallville.

212
00:16:30,500 --> 00:16:33,300
Our cop's about as stiffas his starched uniform.
Let's move on.

213
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,300
Lois, I just heardthere was no bomb.

214
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,300
That doesn't look likethe engine overheang.

215
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,100
Look, we need to talk
to somebody who was on the bus.

216
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,500
Chloe called. She's helping
a homeless girl who was there.

217
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,800
Maybe you could ask herwhat she saw,
and I'll track downthe others.

218
00:16:50,900 --> 00:16:52,500
The thing is,not so good with the kids.

219
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,600
Why don't you takelittle
orphan annie and I'll do the rest?

220
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,500
Bette! Thank you so much.

221
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,900
It's just a grilled cheese. No big.

222
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,500
All this take-out,I thought
you could usesomething home-cooked.

223
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,000
It's okay. It's just my friend clark.
Don't worry about it.

224
00:17:21,100 --> 00:17:22,300
What's up?

225
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:25,600
W- wait. I remember you.
You helped me get off the bus.

226
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:27,400
Yeah, I'm gladyou're okay, bette.

227
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:30,400
Do you mind if I ask youa few questions?

228
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,900
Did you see anythingbefore the blast?
Anything unusual? Anything strange?

229
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:37,700
What are you,like a cop or something?

230
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,600
Clark, she's been througha lot today.
What's going on?

231
00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:44,500
The police saythere's no evidence of a bomb.

232
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,200
I think someonewith a meteor power
may have causedthe blast.

233
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,800
What's a meteor power?

234
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:00,100
sometimes,people develop special abilities after
being exposed toa certain type of meteor rock.

235
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,100
Tommy. A-another street kid.

236
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:10,400
He told me he found thisweird rock a couple days
ago,and now whenever he gets angry,things heat up.

237
00:18:11,100 --> 00:18:14,000
I thoughthe was messing with me.
We got into a fight today.

238
00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:17,700
He was being a jerk,
so I ran onto the busto get away from him.

239
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:18,800
Do you knowwhere I can find him?

240
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:21,300
I know where he hangs.
I think I can rememberhow to get there.

241
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,600
Wait, bette. This guy sounds dangerous.
I don't thinkyou should go.

242
00:18:24,700 --> 00:18:28,100
Well,I'll wait in the car.
I- I can point him outto you.

243
00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:39,500
He's over there,sitting down.

244
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,700
I saw him earlier.
He was running awayfrom the bus.

245
00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:51,800
Tommy!

246
00:18:53,300 --> 00:18:55,200
It's all right. I just want to talk.

247
00:18:56,700 --> 00:18:58,200
Tommy, it's okay.

248
00:19:00,700 --> 00:19:01,900
Stay here!

249
00:19:04,700 --> 00:19:06,200
Tommy!

250
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:07,800
Tommy!

251
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,900
- Don't be afraid!
- Get away from me!

252
00:19:11,300 --> 00:19:13,700
It'll be okay, tommy. I promise.

253
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,700
No! No! No, you're lying!

254
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,000
Just be calm, all right?
There's no reason foranyone to get hurt.

255
00:19:18,100 --> 00:19:19,700
Get away from me!

256
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,000
Bette, stay back. It could be dangerous.

257
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,400
How could youdo this to me?!

258
00:19:24,500 --> 00:19:27,400
Just stay awayfrom me, okay?!

259
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:33,200
Tommy!

260
00:19:46,900 --> 00:19:48,400
he was scared, lois.

261
00:19:48,700 --> 00:19:51,500
I don't thinkhe meant to hurt anyone.
He just couldn't controlhis powers.

262
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,800
He blew up a bus, clark,
almost killed a lot of people.

263
00:19:54,900 --> 00:19:57,100
I'd saythis was textbook karma.

264
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:01,500
Thanks.

265
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,900
Hey, you didn't tell me
that you were recording that.

266
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,500
Don't get your tightsin a twist, smallville.

267
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,900
I'll just refer to youas "sources say."

268
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,600
Besides, if I'm gonna wrmy was a human bomb,
"I need scientific proof.

269
00:20:12,700 --> 00:20:16,100
***Couldheckthe autopsy report,
see how much meteor rockwas in his system.

270
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,000
The coronerwon't release it
if it's part ofan ongoing investigation.

271
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,200
But I bet we could find
a copylying around the hospital.

272
00:20:25,300 --> 00:20:27,300
By "find,"I'm assuming you mean "steal."

273
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,600
Rule number three -
do whateverit takes to get the story.

274
00:20:30,700 --> 00:20:32,200
You really should bewriting these down.

275
00:20:32,300 --> 00:20:34,600
Lois, be careful.
There's some linesyou shouldn't cross.

276
00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:37,700
The only lineI'm worried about is a byline.

277
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:38,900
And so should you, clark. We're in this together.

278
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,100
- You want to share a bylinewith me?
- Oh, god, no.

279
00:20:42,300 --> 00:20:44,400
But I got you the obit.

280
00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:46,300
- Tommy's obituary?
- Absolutely.

281
00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:50,900
You helpedbreak the story, so you get to
commemoratethe kid in 10 lines or less.

282
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,100
Don't be so squeamish.
Most of us got startedwriting want ads.

283
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,000
You know what -there was a time
when I wou havekilledfor an obit.

284
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:02,200
Are you coming?

285
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,900
Shoot.

286
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:23,800
You know, if you just reacha little bit higher,
you'd definitely needan ambulance.

287
00:21:23,900 --> 00:21:26,600
Guess I'm lucky there's
a paramedic in the building.

288
00:21:27,300 --> 00:21:30,400
Yeah, well, you asked me
to bring over this application.

289
00:21:34,900 --> 00:21:36,200
Gimme.

290
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,600
Oh, I did talkto my friend.

291
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,900
And she says that there's
a spot open at the home for bette.

292
00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:46,600
That's great!

293
00:21:49,900 --> 00:21:52,900
she could really usesome good news right now.

294
00:21:53,700 --> 00:21:58,100
Her day got even worsea little while ago,
and she needed some space,so I came here.

295
00:22:04,700 --> 00:22:05,700
Thank you.

296
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,100
At least she had a placeto stay, thanks to you.

297
00:22:10,900 --> 00:22:12,400
Thanks.

298
00:22:16,700 --> 00:22:21,700
Isis foundation. So, what -
adopt a pyramid, save a sphinx,that kind of thing?

299
00:22:22,300 --> 00:22:23,300
Cute.

300
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,000
Uh, actually, it's more likea counseling center.

301
00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:29,300
I'm housesittingfor a friend of mine
till she finds someoneto take it over.

302
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:30,500
I'm surprisedI haven't heard of it.

303
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,000
The hospitalsends out updates
on all the mental-healthfacilities.

304
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,900
Well...she hasvery specific clients -

305
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,300
people withspecial skills
that are sometimesa little dangerous.

306
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,100
What, you mean like...meteor types?

307
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,900
I drive an ambulancein metropolis, chloe.
I've seena lot of things -

308
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:51,000
at least enough to know
that they could use the help.

309
00:22:53,500 --> 00:22:55,400
Have you ever thoughtabout helping them?

310
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,900
- No, I don't -
- I saw you with bettetoday.

311
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,600
You cared enough to take herunder your wing.
That's rare.

312
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:06,800
And think how hard it must befor these
meteor peopleto find someonethey can trust.

313
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,400
But am istreetwise enough?

314
00:23:09,700 --> 00:23:14,300
Okay, forgetwhat I said earlier.
I can come offa little strong.

315
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,200
It's okay.At least now iunderstand
where it comes from.

316
00:23:18,100 --> 00:23:19,700
Understand how?

317
00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:21,600
Well, I googled you.

318
00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:25,300
And I read an interviewthat you gave
about running awayfrom foster homes as a kid.

319
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,200
You researched me?

320
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,500
Well, you know, I alway
skind of wanted my own stalker.

321
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,700
No. It isn't like that, davis. It's just that -

322
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:39,800
no, really,I-I used to be a reporter,
and so I have a serious...curiosity complex.

323
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,100
- Okay.
- And I'm engaged.

324
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,100
You're the first personI've told about that.

325
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:53,200
Well, um,congratulations.
That'S... a very uniqueengagement ring.

326
00:23:54,300 --> 00:23:58,500
Uh, well, you know,it's the story behind the ring
that reallymakes it special.

327
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,400
I went awayfor a little while,
and he never gave upon me.

328
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,000
Well, chloe, I grew up hearing
a lot of four-letter words,

329
00:24:08,100 --> 00:24:10,900
and "love" wasn't exactlyone of them.

330
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:17,200
If you found it,real love,hold on to it.

331
00:24:23,100 --> 00:24:27,200
And if anyone tells youthat's a clich?
I'll personallykick their ass.

332
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:02,000
Did you find her?

333
00:25:02,100 --> 00:25:04,100
She's gone off the gridagain.

334
00:25:05,500 --> 00:25:07,900
Don't come backuntil you do.

335
00:25:13,100 --> 00:25:14,600
Is there something else?

336
00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:19,200
The girl's dangerous. You tried to
approach heron the bus, and she blew it up.

337
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,400
Mr. Luthor would have
had usterminate the problem on-site.

338
00:25:24,700 --> 00:25:26,500
I'm your boss now.

339
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:31,700
And since we've never worked together, I can't
trust that you'll see this through to my satisfaction.

340
00:25:32,300 --> 00:25:35,500
Bring her here. I'll handle her.

341
00:25:35,900 --> 00:25:37,500
End of story.

342
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,700
Lois, you can't just walk inand steal a file.

343
00:25:55,900 --> 00:25:57,400
It's a crime. You'll go to prison.

344
00:25:57,500 --> 00:25:59,100
I have a plan, clark.

345
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,800
Would you like to share it?
'Cause I'm having doubts.

346
00:26:02,300 --> 00:26:05,700
When in doubt... charge it.

347
00:26:06,700 --> 00:26:10,200
City hall... 13th precinct... 15th precinct...

348
00:26:10,900 --> 00:26:12,600
metropolis general.

349
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,700
If I could just getmileage points on thesethings,
I'd see the world.

350
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,800
Cover me, smallville.

351
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,900
Uh, you know, patients are
on an entirely different floor.

352
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,900
You know, I thought I got off
the elevator a little early.

353
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,600
Wait. You're one ofthe rescue
workers from the bus, right?

354
00:26:40,900 --> 00:26:45,200
I thoughtI recognized you. For a guy
without a uniform,you helped a lot of people.

355
00:26:45,300 --> 00:26:48,900
Oh, I didn't do anything.
I mean, you're the real hero.

356
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,300
You help peoplefor a living.

357
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:53,900
- I'm clark kent.
- Davis bloome.

358
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,400
I met your fiancéE. Clark, congratulations.
She's a real catch.

359
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,300
I'm getting married?

360
00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:01,700
Well, I thought that -

361
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,200
'causeI saw you and chloe together, and you
seemedpretty close.When she saidshe was engaged -

362
00:27:05,300 --> 00:27:07,600
chloe's engaged?

363
00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:10,800
Oh, man. Okay, my brain'sgone completely D.O. A.

364
00:27:10,900 --> 00:27:13,800
Clark, she saidshe hadn't told anyone yet.

365
00:27:14,300 --> 00:27:18,400
Do me a favor. Don't tell her I said anything.

366
00:27:20,500 --> 00:27:22,600
I won't reveal my source.

367
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,900
Hey, bette! Davis, the paramedicwe met
on the street, came bywith the paperwork.

368
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,600
His friendswant to meet you.

369
00:27:34,700 --> 00:27:37,600
Change of plan, chloe. I'm leaving metropolis.

370
00:27:37,700 --> 00:27:41,400
Don't you think thatyou should read this first?
I mean, this placesounds really great.

371
00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:45,700
Maybe it is,but this city's gone sour -
like, way pastits shelf life.

372
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,100
I have to go.

373
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,700
Look, I know what happenedwith tommy was awful,
but running awayis not the answer.

374
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,100
Besides, it's not safe out there
for you by yourself.

375
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,400
You think the streetsare dangerous? Try a
locked door withsomeone else holding the key.

376
00:27:59,500 --> 00:28:01,100
- No, thanks.
- They're notgonna lock you in.

377
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,700
Look, tell you what -I'll call them for you.

378
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,800
Chloe, stop. I don't need a den mother,
and I won't go see those people.

379
00:28:06,900 --> 00:28:09,100
- Then they'll come hereto see you.
- You're not listeningto me!

380
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,700
I'm just tryingto help you, bette.

381
00:28:18,100 --> 00:28:20,500
I wish you hadn'tmade me do that.

382
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,000
There's nothing in hereabout a meteor infection.

383
00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:36,000
Here. Let me take e a look.

384
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:37,500
Knock yourself out.

385
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,200
I'm not sure we'reon the right track, lois.
Tommy's deathseems suspicious.

386
00:28:41,300 --> 00:28:42,500
Of courseit's suspicious.

387
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,300
The guy blew himself up just byrubbing his hands
together or wrinkling his noseor whatever he did.

388
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,300
They didn't findany meteor rock in his system,
but they did find metal shrapnelfrom the barrels.

389
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,433
Lois, tommy's responsiblefor the blast,

390
00:28:52,533 --> 00:28:55,097
then the barrels would have blown
away from him,not into him, right?

391
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,100
Don't clear his namejust yet, sherlock.

392
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,700
That kid was dangerous,a real live wire.
Check his rap sheetat the back.

393
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,700
Armed robbery, b&e,and carjacking.

394
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,600
Basically, that firecracker was
a major menace to metropolis.

395
00:29:05,700 --> 00:29:08,200
But there's no mentionof explosives
in any of these crimes,lois.

396
00:29:08,300 --> 00:29:11,600
If you were a criminalwith these abilities,
wouldn't you use them?

397
00:29:11,700 --> 00:29:14,500
Well, if tommy didn'tkill himself, then who did?

398
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,900
Bette claimed that tommyblew up the bus.

399
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,800
But she was therefor both of the blasts.

400
00:29:21,300 --> 00:29:24,800
Oh, my god. My cousin'sbabysitting psycho spice.

401
00:29:26,900 --> 00:29:28,900
Clark, what if -

402
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,500
oh, come on.

403
00:29:32,700 --> 00:29:34,500
Believe me,I understand.

404
00:29:34,700 --> 00:29:38,100
It can be toughto control your powers
when you're angryor afraid -

405
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,100
like on the busor...with tommy.

406
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,800
Those weren't accidents!

407
00:29:43,900 --> 00:29:45,900
I knew what I was doing!

408
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,900
There are some bad peoplechasing me.

409
00:29:49,100 --> 00:29:51,900
They cornered me on the bus.
I had to fight back.

410
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,900
So you set up tommyto take the blame?

411
00:29:55,700 --> 00:29:58,800
Bette... you killed him.

412
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,000
He helped them find me.

413
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,200
Three years ago,some corporate types
locked me in their private prison.

414
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,700
It was a nightmare.
They ran tests on me every day.

415
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,400
Last week, something happened,
and we were all let go.

416
00:30:15,300 --> 00:30:17,400
They tagged uson the way out.

417
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,400
I ran before they coulddo it to me.

418
00:30:20,900 --> 00:30:23,300
This place - were there lots
of people there with powers?

419
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:24,400
Yeah.

420
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,000
I told tommyall about it.
And you know what he did?

421
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,300
He sold me out.

422
00:30:30,500 --> 00:30:32,800
He led themstraight to me.

423
00:30:32,900 --> 00:30:34,900
He gotwhat he deserved.

424
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,600
The prison was in montana,wasn't it? Black creek?

425
00:30:40,300 --> 00:30:42,200
How did you know that?

426
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,100
Because I was there.

427
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,800
I had a meteor power, too.

428
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,900
I could heal people. I knowhow awful it was there.

429
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,400
Then you know I had to do whatever it took
to get away. They had mebacked into a corner.

430
00:30:57,500 --> 00:31:01,300
No matter what they do to you,bette,
you don't kill people.

431
00:31:01,700 --> 00:31:03,900
SometimesI don't have a choice!

432
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:09,500
Chloe, I'm sorry,
but I can't risk youturning on me, too.

433
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,800
Goodbye, chloe!

434
00:31:17,900 --> 00:31:19,200
No!

435
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,200
Clark.

436
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,800
Stay away from me! I'll hurt you!

437
00:31:39,900 --> 00:31:42,100
No. You won'T.

438
00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:44,900
- You're not afraid of me?
- No.

439
00:31:45,500 --> 00:31:47,500
I just want to help you.

440
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:53,100
After everything I've done,
why would you want to helpa monster like me?

441
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,000
Because you're not a monster.

442
00:31:55,100 --> 00:31:57,700
You've just been led down the wrong path.

443
00:31:59,700 --> 00:32:04,600
Whenever people find out about me,
they get afraidand they try to hurt me.

444
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,700
So I have to lie. I have to hide what I am.

445
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,100
You don't have to anymore.

446
00:32:13,700 --> 00:32:15,300
Not from me.

447
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,400
We all have something we think we need to hide.

448
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,000
It's hard.

449
00:32:35,300 --> 00:32:37,400
But it does get better.

450
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,700
It's a good thingyou called lois
and told heryou were okay.

451
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,600
She was about to call outthe national guard.

452
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,600
Bette almost killed me,clark.

453
00:33:01,900 --> 00:33:04,700
Chloe, there's no wayyou could have
known how dangerous she was.

454
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,700
Her power was hidden.

455
00:33:07,300 --> 00:33:10,700
Some sort ofhigh-frequency energy blast?
She fooled everyone.

456
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,200
That's because she didn't trust anyone.

457
00:33:12,300 --> 00:33:14,700
I mean, I was only in that cellfor a few weeks.

458
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,000
I can't imagine being in therefor three years.

459
00:33:18,500 --> 00:33:20,800
Hopefully, she'll find the help
she needs at belle reve.

460
00:33:20,900 --> 00:33:25,100
Yeah, I seriously doubtthat being locked away
in another cellis gonna do any good.

461
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,500
Do you think if you knew her sooner,
you could have helped herdeal with her power?

462
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,400
Which is why someoneshould be
talking tothem from day one. ****

463
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:37,100
whi***

464
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:46,000
Looking for this?

465
00:33:47,900 --> 00:33:51,700
I found it downstairs.
You must have lost itwhen bette was chasing you.

466
00:33:56,900 --> 00:33:59,200
Is there anythingyou want to tell me?

467
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:05,200
I was...on my over here
this morningto tell you, but...

468
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,000
how did you find out?
Did jimmy call you?

469
00:34:11,300 --> 00:34:13,200
Well,it's rule number...

470
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,400
11-always protectyour source.

471
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,100
But I would likethe whole story.

472
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,900
How longhave you been engaged?

473
00:34:27,700 --> 00:34:29,700
A week.

474
00:34:30,100 --> 00:34:33,200
I said "yes" the nightI came back from montana.

475
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,600
You could have called...anytime.

476
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:45,800
It's just that...
we've been friendsfor such a long time.

477
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,500
We're morethan just friends, chloe.

478
00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:55,400
When jimmy and iget marrie,

479
00:34:55,900 --> 00:35:00,700
things willprobably change -between us, I mean.

480
00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:06,900
And I don't know if I'm readyfor that just yet.

481
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,300
Are you?

482
00:35:16,300 --> 00:35:20,000
I know that your happiness is one of the
most important things in the world to me...

483
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,800
and that you and jimmy
will have a wonderful life together.

484
00:35:29,300 --> 00:35:31,600
Don't worryabout anything else.

485
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Hello, bette.

486
00:36:09,700 --> 00:36:12,800
You should have diedon that bus.

487
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,800
The last time we met,
things did get a little fiery.

488
00:36:18,300 --> 00:36:20,700
Lucky for me, I ducked.

489
00:36:23,100 --> 00:36:26,300
So, they're taking youto belle reve.

490
00:36:26,700 --> 00:36:31,400
I'm sure after a few yearsof good behavior,
they'll let yousee the sun again.

491
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,600
Or you could comewith me.

492
00:36:34,900 --> 00:36:38,900
I'd rather be a prisoner there
than your lab ratin montana.

493
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,000
Go push your cheese somewhere else.

494
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,200
I didn't buildthat place, bette.

495
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,800
And after I heard about all the terrible
things happening there, I closed it down.

496
00:36:59,300 --> 00:37:01,000
I tried to tell you.

497
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,700
If you shut down the thunderdome,
then why are you stillcoming after me?

498
00:37:06,900 --> 00:37:09,800
Because you're a very powerful person.

499
00:37:12,500 --> 00:37:16,000
And I thinkit's about time
the world started treating you accordingly.

500
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,500
Don't you?

501
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,300
Listening.

502
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:26,800
I want to introduce you...to some people like you.

503
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,400
A sort of team. But only if you want.

504
00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:36,600
A team? Take a look at my file, lady.
I don't play wellwith others.

505
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:41,000
I think once you meet everyone,
you may finally feellike you fit in.

506
00:37:42,300 --> 00:37:44,700
I remember what it was liketo be your age -

507
00:37:45,700 --> 00:37:49,000
alone... angry...

508
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,300
trapped.

509
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,500
The injustice of it all.

510
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,100
I can help, bette.

511
00:38:02,500 --> 00:38:05,600
A team is only as goodas its weakest link.

512
00:38:05,900 --> 00:38:08,500
And look what happened to meon the bus.

513
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,500
Why scout out somebody
who's just gonna choke on their own smoke?

514
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,000
Don't be so hardon yourself.

515
00:38:20,900 --> 00:38:23,900
We'll make a heroout of you yet.

516
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:47,000
Looking good, smallvill. Clothes make
the man who helped me make the front page.

517
00:38:49,700 --> 00:38:51,700
Try to hold backthe journalistic fervor.

518
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,200
I'm glad you gotyour story, lois, but it
took a few more turnsthan I would have liked.

519
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,700
So did you, houdini.
You're there one minute,gone the next.

520
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,700
We were standingnext to an elevator.
I don't know whyyou had to take the stairs.

521
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,300
Well, I'm sorrythat you can't keep up.

522
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,200
The important thing is that chloe figured it out
on her own and she's okay.

523
00:39:07,300 --> 00:39:08,800
Yeah, tell me about it.

524
00:39:08,900 --> 00:39:10,551
If she hadn't defused little miss land mine,

525
00:39:10,651 --> 00:39:13,871
we'd be fitting her for a coffininstead
of a wedding dress.

526
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,800
When did you hearabout the wedding?

527
00:39:16,900 --> 00:39:18,700
She just called.

528
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,700
I can't believemy cousin is getting married.

529
00:39:21,900 --> 00:39:23,700
To jimmy olsen.

530
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,400
They're in love, lois.
You should be happy for them.

531
00:39:29,100 --> 00:39:32,200
Well, at leastthe rest of us have work.

532
00:39:32,300 --> 00:39:35,700
Here. I finishedproofing the obit.

533
00:39:37,100 --> 00:39:39,400
Wow, lois. Don't hold anything back.

534
00:39:39,500 --> 00:39:42,200
Those aren't notesof discouragent.
They're notesof encouragement.

535
00:39:42,300 --> 00:39:44,400
You've got talent,smallville.

536
00:39:44,500 --> 00:39:46,000
What?

537
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,700
Look, when I first started outat the inquisitor,

538
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,300
all I cared about was
getting the best storieson the front page.

539
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,600
Well, it seems likea dream come true.

540
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:57,000
Sure, but sitting here nowwith you,I think

541
00:39:57,100 --> 00:40:01,600
I'm more proudthat we uncovered the truth
than I am over having a headline.

542
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,400
Thanks for helping mebreak the story, clark.

543
00:40:12,500 --> 00:40:14,300
Keep up the good work.

544
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,700
You've got a long career ahead
of you at the daily planet.

545
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,000
Hey, this is davis. Leave me your story.
I'll call you back.

546
00:40:54,700 --> 00:40:57,000
Hi, davis. It's chloe sullivan.

547
00:40:57,100 --> 00:41:02,900
I, uh, I just wantedto call
and say thanksfor helping out with bette.

548
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,300
It's too bad thatthat didn't, uh, work out.

549
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:12,000
But I also wantedto let you know that
I've decided to reopen the isis foundation,

550
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,200
and a few things that you said
helped me make that decision.

551
00:41:15,300 --> 00:41:18,000
So... thanks.

552
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:23,600
Okay, well... stay safe out there. Take care.
