Smallville · Season 1, Episode 15

Martha and Clark in “Unfinished Business”

[Concerned] You've hardly said anything about what happened at Summerholt.

[Distracted] Don't worry Mom, my secret is still safe.

Well, let me know if you want to talk about it.

[Martha goes to leave]

Lara.

[Martha stops, she looks back at Clark]

That was my biological mother's real name. She was my earliest memory. She sounded so scared. Her only fear was that nobody would love me.

I can't imagine the feeling of sending my baby in a lifeboat across the stars.

Because of Jor-El, I always thought that my biological parents were monsters. But she wasn't.... I just can't believe I forgot about her.

[Comforting] You didn't, Clark; your first word was "Lara". Your father and I could never figure out what it meant, but now we know.

I wish she could have met you, to see what a great mom I have.

She knows, Clark. A mother's love never dies.

[They embrace]
