I wasn't born anywhere near Smallville. In fact, I wasn't born anywhere near this galaxy.
Okay... okay... so that would make you an...
Yeah.
But you... you look so--
Human? I'm still the same person.
Clark... I think you're so amazing. You save people's lives and take zero credit for it. To me, you're more than just a hero. You're a super hero.
Chloe--
I'm serious, Clark. If more humans were like you, the world would be a better place.
[to Clark] I want you to know, I'll never be the iceberg to your Titanic, and your secret will never ever leave my lips. No matter what.
How'd you get that frog in your throat?
That's what happens when you get a neck massage from Barbie the Barbarian. Doctor says I shouldn't talk too much.
Oh, gee. That's too bad.
Don't get your hopes up, Smallville. It's not permanent.
You can get hurt now; you're vulnerable.
Isn't that what it means to be human?
Whoa!
What? I like to come prepared.
Chloe, where'd you get all this stuff?
eBay.
Is that a flash grenade?
Careful! That was a graduation present from Lois. I'm saving it for a special occasion.
Why didn't you tell me about all this stuff?
We all have our secrets, Clark.
Happiness is such an elusive creature, isn't it? We all wish for it, but very few ever really find it.
Doesn't make the search any less important.
Or the destination... Do you remember the last time we stood here together? I ended up unconscious on the ground and somehow you landed in the artic.
I told you, I don't remember what happened.
Then why have you been avoiding me, Chloe? It's been weeks since I brought you back from that hospital in the Yukon where I found you.
I've been busy, Lex.
Right, I heard being a third wheel is very time consuming.
Clark and Lana are finally together. They're happy. That's all that should matter to a real friend.
I think you know more than you're telling me about what happened in this cave, about Clark's involvement. I know you think you're being a good friend, but you're playing a very dangerous game.
Kinda like covering up the spaceship Lana said crashed during the meteor shower.
Lana was hysterical. She didn't see what she thought she did.
Well, maybe you didn't either, Lex. Stop asking me questions or I will start asking my own.
Destiny's just another word for not having a choice.
It's a lot heavier than I remember.
You're just going to have to learn, Clark. Pace yourself. You're human now.
Ah, the joys of manual labor.
It's not so bad. I kinda like being sore. It makes me feel like I've actually accomplished something. No pain, no gain, right?
Breaking news: Clark Kent saves the day.
Thanks to you.
Yeah, well, I did just what I usually do. You were the one who took down three meteor freaks without any... special advantages. Then again, once a hero, always a hero.
All right, look, okay, my dad isn't going to be up for about fifteen minutes and we gotta get outta here. Well, you gotta get outta here.
You sure? 'Cause sticking around for breakfast sounds like fun.
What?!
Pass me my shoe. "We won't fall asleep. I promise". What else are we going to do at two o'clock in the morning?
You aren't mad, are you?
I'm furious.
[They kiss]
Hello, Kal-El.
How do you know to call me that?
You're my son...
Jor-El?
...and I hope the time is coming when you will call me father.
Am I dead?
Your mortal journey is over, yes, but your eminent destiny is too important to be sacrificed. You will return with all your natural gifts. Unfortunately, this... rectification does not come without a price. The life of someone close to you will be exchanged for yours.
No. No, I would never ask for that.
You already did, when you decided to relinquish your powers and disobey me. It was your choice.
Then just don't bring me back!
It's too late. For everything in nature, there is a balance. The life force that has been returned to you will soon be taken from... from someone you love. You're about to face your darkest hour, my son. But, remember: The lessons that we learn from pain are the ones that make us the strongest.
I can't take that risk. I've risked too much already and now someone else is going to have to pay for it.
Clark, is everything okay? What's going on?
I never should have given up my powers. Why didn't I listen to him? Chloe, I think I've made a terrible mistake.
Son, they told us you were dead.
I was.
Jor-El...
Yeah.
He returned your powers, didn't he?
I'm not human anymore. It's the only way I could come back.
We heard about a missile malfunction. You stopped it, didn't you? It's not easy to sacrifice the things you want the most to save other people. We're so proud of you, Clark.
The sacrifice would've been not coming back at all.
Clark's medical file.
That's confidential.
I heard you asked for it at the hospital. All of his test results came back normal. When are you going to realize, Lex, that he's just like the rest of us?
Do you really believe that, or is that what you have to tell yourself to stay in a relationship with him? You've had your doubts about him too. You can't deny it.
I was wrong. Believe me, there is nothing unusual about Clark. Except his ability to see the good in people who don't deserve it.
I think you're forgetting something, Lana. Whatever new lie he told you, however he swept it under the rug, a normal person doesn't rise from the dead.
