Smallville · Season 1
Emil finally finished working through the files we found after the fire. There's one body still unaccounted for -- LX-15. There's another Lex on the loose.
Why look here? I closed the book on this place months ago.
Supplies are still being sent here.
Someone's helping him survive, but you're assuming he's a threat just because he's a Luthor. What ever happened to everyone deserving a second chance?
No, Luthor blood is Luthor blood. It's poison.
The heart -- it'll blind you, son. You want to be your own man. That's natural. But remember, Clark -- I am your father and I alone raised you in my own image to become the man that you are today.
I must have lost perspective.
But that's why I'm here -- to set you back on the right path. You could conquer the universe. The Man of Tomorrow -- Clark Luthor! I sometimes shudder to think what would have happened to my little traveler if he had been discovered in that cornfield by the first ignorant farmer that came along. Where on earth would you be now?
Hardly any trace of Lionel at all. It's refreshing, actually...being out from under our father's shadow.
Lionel Luthor's been dead for years. Lex killed him.
I guess Lex did something right in this place. I got to tell you, sis -- this alternate Earth -- it's a blast. Doesn't feel right, though. Not having blood on my hands before lunch.
I'm sorry, it's just something I had to do.
Stay away from me Clark or Ultraman or whoever the hell you are! I know what happens when someone sees your face. Help!
Lois, where I'm from, Lois Lane, you and I are allies. You always have my back, how else would I know that you're brave and loyal and a force of nature?
Anybody could have told you that about me.
Look, You misspell words, simple words at an alarmingly frequent basis. Can you never admit I'm right even when I call you on it?
Why would I?
You can always tell when I'm lying, you can see right through me, straight to my soul... to my heart. Lois, there's got to be a part of you that knows I'm telling the truth.
Who are you?
My name is Clark Kent and I promise Lois, I will never let this happen to us. I can't live in a world where you don't love me.
What are these for?
Nothing says "Sorry My Doppelganger From A Parallel Earth Tried To Kill You" like flowers.
I think there's a card for that now.
The store was out. I destroyed the mirror box. You won't ever have to worry about seeing him again.
He wasn't you, Clark. I mean, not you you.
Well, I know the circumstances were different from that side, but that was still me in that mirror. And the way you looked at me, Lois, it was so much hate...it was like you already formed your opinion about Clark Luthor -- for good reason. He was a monster. I was a monster.
Kind of makes you wonder how "Earth Two" Lois Lane managed to put up with such a colossal tool.
Consider yourself universally consistent. Didn't cut him any slack. But I do think she was about to give him another chance.
You don't need to worry about second chances with me. You're doing really well with the first one.
(nervously to Lois) Listen, why don't we go get something to eat at the new place?
You mean the place that requires reservations six months in advance? That's a nice thought Romeo but we will never get a table.
We will never know unless we ask and I hope the answer is yes.
Clark, come on. Now the whole world thinks I'm a terrorist. I mean, that's not exactly something you want on your Fortune 500 bio or at your wedding, so...
Well, that's too bad, 'cause I was just about to invite you to be my best man. You're the guy who stands next to me on the worst days of my life. And I want you there for the best one, too.
Hey, I -- you kidding? Absolutely. Thank you. (shakes Clark's hand)
All I can say is when it comes to planning the wedding, just nod. A lot.
Well, you would know, right? I mean, you married Shayera, what, a hundred times now?
Well, I've heard of relationships that withstand the test of time, but that's remarkable. Oh, or not, I suppose. For you.
Even though I married Shayera a hundred times, I had to lose her that many, as well. Now, I know I don't usually get all warm and fuzzy, but I am sorry. About Chloe.
You're not gonna hug me now, are you?
I was wonder how long you'd hide and let your friends take the fall.
I heard the explosion. You were in it. How did you...
Survive? Let's just say the reaper can swing his sickle at me, but I'm beyond death's stroke now.
I'll get you help. Okay?
No. It's too late. Hey. I'm a pro at dying, remember?
I should have been there, Carter. I'm sorry.
Can't always be you, Clark. This is all our fight. Listen. Listen! This is what we do. And my passing means I'll be with Shayera again.
I owe you so much, I don't even know how to begin to thank you.
You just did. You hold on to her. Because there has to be a balance, Clark. We can't do what we have to do if there's an emptiness in our hearts. Remember that.
I will. I promise.
Oh, I am sorry I won't be able to help you fight the darkness. (looks at Lois) But you have all the help that you need.
You're not hallucinating, Oliver, and you're not insane. Trust me.
Really? Well, that's kind of hard to believe, considering you just materialized out of a wall.
I've got to get you out of here.
Chloe? Hate to rain on your program, but I'm in a straightjacket. I'm in a cell in a lockdown wing of a hospital. I-I'm not going anywhere.
Only if you believe that's true. Simple mind over matter. Because I believe everything I see is fake, I'm not limited by it. I have power. The sooner you believe everything you see is fantasy, the sooner you can manipulate it. Break free of it.
(straightjacket disappears) How'd you do that?
I didn't. You did.
Chloe would never hurt Oliver.
Not unless he got in her way, like these guys. (they watch a video of Chloe gunning down VRA guards)
Well, I can't be right. And I hate to crash on your tea party, but my cousin is no Benedict Arnold.
She's taking out operatives in cold blood, Lois! I don't know whose side she's on, but it's not ours!
Not everybody switches sides as easily as some of us. And let's not forget, when we first met Black Canary, she was nothing more than Lex Luthor's little organ-grinder monkey. I mean, did you ever look to see who the bad guys really are before you start throwing knives and spin-kicks there, chickadee?
Violent criminals deserve to fry. And if your cousin's one of them, well, that's a campfire that I'm not afraid to sing around.
How'd you do it? Trust me, I mean - back then, before you found out.
I had my suspicions.
But that's what I mean. You knew I was lying to you, and still you looked me in the eye every day and you trusted me.
I guess that's the true test of believing in someone -- knowing that their lies are there to protect you. It's not really trust if you ask someone to explain themselves.
But that's hard.
It's really hard.
You never gave up.
And I never will.
I've been thinking about what you said -- that I should shut my eyes and ears to the outside world to figure what's true. You made me believe. And you got me to fly. Even if it was just in cyberspace.
Well, I have to say Smallville, that soaring over the Daily Planet and the spires of Metropolis was amazing.
Well, who knows? Maybe one day, we'll get to fly in the real world.
I've always believed that you can do the impossible, and one day you will.
