S1 E15Unfinished Business

Finally. I didn't think you were gonna show. Not that Clark Kent ever operates on the same speed as the rest of the world.

You're a Luthor, so it's a given that you're unscrupulous, but I really thought that petty larceny was beneath you, Lex.

Can you be a little more specific with the charge?

I caught some creep in my office trying steal one of my computers. I figured either you or your father hired him.

But you're accusing me.

You're what they euphemistically call the lesser of two evils.

I admire your take-charge attitude. Barging in here and accusing me took guts... or sheer stupidity.

How did he die?

Natural causes. Apparently his heart just gave out.

And you believe that?

Given what he was looking into, I doubt there was anything natural about his death.

How do I know you're not just playing me here?

[sarcastic] You're right, Chloe. I could be. I often bring high school girls to the morgue to show them what happens when trained professionals cross my father.

Well, there's nothing in my files worth killing for.

We've got a corpse here that says you're wrong.

How did you get in here, Lex?

Well, when people think you're insane and you're holding a rifle to their head, they, uh, tend to do what you ask.

If we'd done it my way, you'd be dead by now.

What are you talking about?

You really believe you could have escaped if I wanted to kill you? It was your father's idea to make you look crazy instead.

You're lying!

It's true, Lex. Lionel's gone soft in his old age. He was willing to lose his parents, but he said he couldn't bear to lose another child.

You know, I was never quite sure which of them was more out of touch with reality — Don Quixote, jousting with imaginary enemies, or his loyal lackey Sancho Panza, indulging his master's fantasies in spite of the danger to everyone else.

I think you're getting off way too easily.

Excuse me?

You have to learn to push through the pain. If we all sat down every time it hurt, this country never would've been built.

Well, I doubt the founding fathers broke their legs in four places.

What happened, bad pileup at cheerleading practice?

When your attempt to escape failed, you sabotaged my efforts to have you released, to be cared for at home.

But I told you. I'm cured. A cured patient doesn't belong in a hospital.

Oh, it's painful to see you like this. You know I have your best interest at heart, don't you?

The only interest you have... is staying out of prison. I'm not insane, and you know it.

It's sad to see a man who's lost his mind. But it's tragic when he's convinced himself that he's sane.

Clark, he knows your secret.

I can't let him turn Lex into a vegetable just for that.

You can't trust him.

And you've never given him a chance.

And you give him too many. You think it's easy keeping a lid on your secret? I've got to think about it every time we're around other people to make sure I don't slip. I've got to remember to say "meteor rock" instead of "kryptonite". And I always got to cover your unexplained exits.

Pete, I'm sorry. You've never said anything.

Clark, that's not the point. The point is that I got your back. But Lex won't.

ESEric Summers

Welcome back to being normal, Clark. Kind of sucks, doesn't it?

One thing I learned from my accident is that you can't go through something like this alone.

Lana, just because I'm blind doesn't mean the issues between us have disappeared. This doesn't change anything.

I was just offering a helping hand, Clark. But I won't make that mistake again.

Whoever said absence makes the heart grow fonder obviously hasn't met the two of you.
