1
00:00:46,581 --> 00:00:48,606
Come on, cover your assignments.
2
00:00:50,752 --> 00:00:52,583
Take your squad and
sweep the perimeter.
3
00:00:52,754 --> 00:00:55,279
- What's our status?
- Security breach, northeast sector.
4
00:00:55,457 --> 00:00:57,948
- What have the cameras picked up?
- Not a damn thing.
5
00:00:58,126 --> 00:01:00,185
Anything comes
down this tunnel, kill it.
6
00:01:00,362 --> 00:01:02,421
- Got it.
- Hey. Move.
7
00:01:03,998 --> 00:01:06,762
- Contact?
- Ten and seven.
8
00:01:07,202 --> 00:01:08,601
Wait.
9
00:01:10,472 --> 00:01:13,134
Section F compromised.
10
00:01:14,042 --> 00:01:15,907
Lock it down.
11
00:01:22,584 --> 00:01:25,075
Section D compromised.
12
00:01:25,253 --> 00:01:27,221
That's only 30 meters from here.
13
00:01:31,059 --> 00:01:33,994
- Section C compromised.
- Twenty meters.
14
00:01:35,130 --> 00:01:36,495
Ten.
15
00:01:38,299 --> 00:01:40,597
Section B compromised.
16
00:01:41,503 --> 00:01:44,836
- Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
- Section A compromised.
17
00:02:06,594 --> 00:02:07,788
Mission accomplished.
18
00:02:15,069 --> 00:02:17,333
Standing by for
further instructions.
19
00:02:18,273 --> 00:02:20,241
Vitals are steady.
20
00:02:20,475 --> 00:02:22,534
He didn't even break a sweat.
21
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:25,508
Two minutes 18 seconds to
infiltrate a secured facility...
22
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,877
disable my best men,
and eliminate the target.
23
00:02:30,652 --> 00:02:32,347
Not a bad test run.
24
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,112
Get some fresh guards.
25
00:02:35,723 --> 00:02:38,055
I wanna see him do it again.
26
00:02:40,820 --> 00:02:42,825
"Prototype."
27
00:03:40,571 --> 00:03:43,438
We have about a dozen
people that could do that for you.
28
00:03:43,608 --> 00:03:46,543
Next thing you know they'll
be brushing my teeth for me.
29
00:03:46,711 --> 00:03:50,147
There are some things
I'd rather do on my own.
30
00:03:51,282 --> 00:03:54,410
Independent and not
afraid to get her hands dirty.
31
00:03:54,585 --> 00:03:58,077
Two of the billion or so
reasons I fell in love with you.
32
00:03:59,690 --> 00:04:02,352
My shoulders are
still a little bit sore.
33
00:04:02,527 --> 00:04:04,518
Maybe we should
have the doctor look at it.
34
00:04:04,695 --> 00:04:06,492
No, it's okay.
35
00:04:06,998 --> 00:04:08,431
Lana, you were shot.
36
00:04:09,233 --> 00:04:12,168
Takes more than a
bullet to stop a Luthor.
37
00:04:19,010 --> 00:04:20,477
Sir, Senator Burke has arrived.
38
00:04:21,179 --> 00:04:22,703
Show him in.
39
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,412
You've been seeing a
lot of the senator recently.
40
00:04:25,583 --> 00:04:27,847
The price of doing business
with the government.
41
00:04:28,019 --> 00:04:29,953
Look, this will
just take a minute.
42
00:04:30,121 --> 00:04:31,452
I'll be in the garden.
43
00:04:34,125 --> 00:04:36,821
- Mrs. Luthor.
- Senator.
44
00:04:37,728 --> 00:04:39,958
I hope I didn't interrupt
a tender moment.
45
00:04:40,131 --> 00:04:42,793
If you had, you'd still
be waiting outside.
46
00:04:44,168 --> 00:04:47,604
I'm not gonna keep you
from your pretty lady. I just...
47
00:04:47,772 --> 00:04:49,569
swung by for an update on Ares.
48
00:04:49,740 --> 00:04:52,573
Prototype is in the
final stages of testing.
49
00:04:52,743 --> 00:04:54,301
Everything's on schedule.
50
00:04:54,479 --> 00:04:56,174
Really?
51
00:04:56,547 --> 00:04:59,448
I heard everything
was ahead of schedule.
52
00:04:59,684 --> 00:05:01,413
Way ahead.
53
00:05:01,586 --> 00:05:04,248
I stuck my neck out to get the
Armed Services Committee...
54
00:05:04,422 --> 00:05:07,858
to allow you access to military
resources and personnel.
55
00:05:08,025 --> 00:05:10,789
To R&D a single prototype.
56
00:05:10,962 --> 00:05:13,795
But you've started gearing
up for mass production.
57
00:05:13,965 --> 00:05:16,832
Just looking towards
the future, senator.
58
00:05:17,001 --> 00:05:20,300
I assumed a visionary like
you would understand that.
59
00:05:20,471 --> 00:05:22,439
How long are you
gonna be able to keep...
60
00:05:22,607 --> 00:05:26,407
what you really got
going on here a secret?
61
00:05:27,311 --> 00:05:29,211
See, one of my own men...
62
00:05:29,380 --> 00:05:32,076
believed he uncovered a
mole right in your backyard.
63
00:05:34,452 --> 00:05:36,886
- Who?
- Well, I wish I could tell you.
64
00:05:37,054 --> 00:05:40,785
But my boy doesn't talk too
good with a bullet through his heart.
65
00:05:42,293 --> 00:05:44,420
Senator, if there are
leaks in my security...
66
00:05:44,595 --> 00:05:46,756
I assure you I will
have them taken care of.
67
00:05:46,931 --> 00:05:50,924
Well, doesn't that just fill
me with the warm fuzzies?
68
00:05:51,102 --> 00:05:55,596
Do you know what'll happen to me if the
senate got wind of what you're up to now?
69
00:05:55,773 --> 00:05:58,264
I assume they
wouldn't care for it.
70
00:05:58,509 --> 00:06:01,137
Like they wouldn't care for
the money I've transferred...
71
00:06:01,312 --> 00:06:03,906
into your Cayman
account over the last year.
72
00:06:04,448 --> 00:06:06,973
Project Ares is over.
73
00:06:07,318 --> 00:06:08,717
I'm shutting it down.
74
00:06:09,921 --> 00:06:11,821
That would be ill-advised.
75
00:06:13,024 --> 00:06:14,651
No.
76
00:06:15,693 --> 00:06:20,130
What's ill-advised is you ever opening
your mouth about our arrangement.
77
00:06:20,298 --> 00:06:23,597
I hear a peep out of you, I'll
make sure the committee reviews...
78
00:06:23,768 --> 00:06:27,431
every business deal LuthorCorp
has made in the last 20 years.
79
00:06:28,005 --> 00:06:31,406
You'll be lucky to keep
that fancy shirt on your back.
80
00:06:32,310 --> 00:06:36,337
We understand
each other... Luthor?
81
00:06:40,084 --> 00:06:41,813
Perfectly.
82
00:07:05,543 --> 00:07:06,737
Got the background too?
83
00:07:06,911 --> 00:07:08,606
- Yes.
- Great.
84
00:07:08,779 --> 00:07:12,715
Greetings from Patagonia, the
most beautiful place on earth.
85
00:07:12,883 --> 00:07:15,579
- What is that?
- What?
86
00:07:16,354 --> 00:07:18,322
I don't see anything.
87
00:07:47,018 --> 00:07:48,417
We have to talk.
88
00:07:51,155 --> 00:07:54,716
Clark, you should try picking
up a phone occasionally.
89
00:07:54,892 --> 00:07:57,725
It might be quicker,
or maybe not.
90
00:07:58,496 --> 00:08:02,262
- What do you know about Lana?
- Well...
91
00:08:02,433 --> 00:08:06,028
Letting go. Never been one
of your strong points, was it?
92
00:08:07,905 --> 00:08:10,499
Telling the truth was
never one of yours.
93
00:08:11,409 --> 00:08:16,847
And you're accusing me
of what exactly, this time?
94
00:08:18,449 --> 00:08:22,818
Lana came to me the day of the wedding to
tell me she wasn't going through with it.
95
00:08:23,287 --> 00:08:25,380
That she was leaving Lex.
96
00:08:26,457 --> 00:08:30,086
- Apparently, she changed her mind.
- Or someone changed it for her.
97
00:08:32,396 --> 00:08:35,627
So you think I had something
to do with her decision?
98
00:08:37,034 --> 00:08:40,401
If Lana was so unhappy with Lex,
why go through with the marriage?
99
00:08:40,604 --> 00:08:42,697
It's surprising, Clark,
what people will do...
100
00:08:42,873 --> 00:08:46,604
when they feel they
have no other options.
101
00:08:50,214 --> 00:08:54,275
If I find out that you had anything
to do with Lana marrying Lex...
102
00:08:55,086 --> 00:08:57,316
the gloves'll come off.
103
00:08:58,389 --> 00:09:00,414
How do you like that option?
104
00:09:11,936 --> 00:09:14,496
Triple espresso mocha-cappu-latte,
my own invention...
105
00:09:14,672 --> 00:09:17,436
guaranteed to put the
"zip-a-dee" back in your "doo-dah."
106
00:09:17,608 --> 00:09:19,132
Thanks.
107
00:09:20,311 --> 00:09:22,279
Come on, it's not that bad.
108
00:09:22,446 --> 00:09:25,779
Jimmy is coming back. One day.
109
00:09:26,650 --> 00:09:30,211
Maybe. You know, besides,
distance is good for the relationship.
110
00:09:30,387 --> 00:09:33,083
That's what all the guys who've
moved away from me said.
111
00:09:33,257 --> 00:09:35,987
Lois, you should really stick
to investigative reporting...
112
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,185
and out of the advice column.
113
00:09:39,063 --> 00:09:40,655
That's the plan.
114
00:09:43,934 --> 00:09:47,097
Hey, Smallville. Love to hear
about the cows and the corn...
115
00:09:47,271 --> 00:09:50,331
but I got a lead on a dirty senator
that needs to be hosed down.
116
00:09:50,508 --> 00:09:53,443
- See you on the front page.
- She going after a senator?
117
00:09:53,611 --> 00:09:56,171
I guess so. She hasn't
told me much about it.
118
00:09:56,347 --> 00:09:58,645
There's a lot of that
going around lately.
119
00:09:59,717 --> 00:10:01,514
Was that jab
directed at my chin?
120
00:10:03,687 --> 00:10:05,314
I went to Lionel
to ask about Lana.
121
00:10:05,489 --> 00:10:07,480
- What did he say?
- Nothing.
122
00:10:07,658 --> 00:10:08,955
Just like you.
123
00:10:10,528 --> 00:10:13,622
- Clark, I...
- Chloe, you know what Lex is really like.
124
00:10:14,331 --> 00:10:17,596
Do you forget what he did to
you, what he did to your mother?
125
00:10:18,102 --> 00:10:20,195
No, I haven't forgotten.
126
00:10:22,106 --> 00:10:25,166
- I don't want anything to happen to Lana.
- Neither do I.
127
00:10:25,342 --> 00:10:27,833
If she's staying in that
marriage, all I can say is...
128
00:10:28,012 --> 00:10:29,809
she must have a
damn good reason.
129
00:10:39,023 --> 00:10:40,615
You sure about this?
130
00:10:40,791 --> 00:10:42,520
Got a reservation.
131
00:10:42,693 --> 00:10:45,184
Eats here every
time he's in town.
132
00:10:46,897 --> 00:10:48,091
Thanks for the tip.
133
00:10:54,738 --> 00:10:57,138
- Senator Burke.
- Howdy, miss.
134
00:10:57,308 --> 00:11:00,175
Lois Lane, reporter. I was
hoping to ask a few questions.
135
00:11:00,344 --> 00:11:02,904
Sure. Schedule an
interview with my office.
136
00:11:03,247 --> 00:11:06,842
You know, I tried to, but
no one returned my calls.
137
00:11:07,518 --> 00:11:11,579
Well, that ought to tell you
something, sweet cakes.
138
00:11:14,158 --> 00:11:17,719
Senator, last year your
salary was $ 150,000.
139
00:11:17,895 --> 00:11:22,889
Can you tell me how you managed to
deposit $5 million in a Cayman account?
140
00:11:27,571 --> 00:11:30,131
What paper did you say
you worked for, Miss...?
141
00:11:30,307 --> 00:11:32,707
Lane. Lois Lane.
142
00:11:32,877 --> 00:11:34,777
I'm a reporter
for The Inquisitor.
143
00:11:34,945 --> 00:11:36,606
The Inquisitor?
144
00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:39,010
That's not a newspaper.
145
00:11:39,183 --> 00:11:41,947
That's a cat box liner.
146
00:11:42,353 --> 00:11:44,150
Get her out of here.
147
00:11:44,321 --> 00:11:46,289
Hey. Get your hands
off me, you fascist.
148
00:11:46,457 --> 00:11:48,652
I'm warning you, if you don't...
149
00:12:13,817 --> 00:12:16,650
oh, my God. Wes?
150
00:12:40,010 --> 00:12:42,001
- Chloe, what's going on?
- You haven't heard?
151
00:12:42,179 --> 00:12:43,840
- Senator Burke was murdered.
- What?
152
00:12:44,014 --> 00:12:45,777
Yeah, Burke was
in bed with la familia.
153
00:12:45,950 --> 00:12:48,282
He crossed them, they
gave him the Fredo treatment.
154
00:12:48,452 --> 00:12:50,750
- It was a mob hit.
- All evidence points to that.
155
00:12:50,921 --> 00:12:53,219
But there is one witness
who doesn't think so.
156
00:12:53,390 --> 00:12:55,483
- Lois?
- Thanks.
157
00:13:00,564 --> 00:13:02,259
What happened to you?
158
00:13:03,033 --> 00:13:07,936
Well, one minute I was harassing
a public official and the next...
159
00:13:08,105 --> 00:13:10,539
he came out of
nowhere, like a ghost.
160
00:13:10,708 --> 00:13:13,040
Burke and his men
never had a chance.
161
00:13:13,911 --> 00:13:15,469
You saw who did this?
162
00:13:16,347 --> 00:13:18,872
Yeah, I did more than
see him, Clark. I know him.
163
00:13:19,405 --> 00:13:22,431
Name's Wes Keenan. We were
army brats together when we were kids.
164
00:13:22,609 --> 00:13:24,804
I'm running a check on his name.
165
00:13:26,646 --> 00:13:28,511
Looks like he works
for the mob now.
166
00:13:28,681 --> 00:13:31,149
Wes? No way.
167
00:13:31,317 --> 00:13:34,718
He's career military. He's been
decorated more than a Christmas tree.
168
00:13:34,888 --> 00:13:38,119
Even my dad loved him, and
the general hates everybody.
169
00:13:38,291 --> 00:13:40,486
Lois, you sure the man
you saw is Wes Keenan?
170
00:13:40,660 --> 00:13:44,892
I haven't seen him for years, but he has
this little scar above his right eye and...
171
00:13:45,265 --> 00:13:47,392
Trust me, it was Wes.
172
00:13:48,234 --> 00:13:50,634
Not according to
the U.S. Government.
173
00:13:50,804 --> 00:13:53,602
He was in a helicopter crash
in Afghanistan four months ago.
174
00:13:53,773 --> 00:13:55,365
He was killed in action.
175
00:13:58,389 --> 00:14:02,826
No. That is not possible.
I know what I saw.
176
00:14:03,961 --> 00:14:06,486
- What else does it say?
- Nothing.
177
00:14:06,663 --> 00:14:10,429
I mean, his military
records have been classified.
178
00:14:21,111 --> 00:14:24,410
- What is that?
- His alpha wave just spiked for a second.
179
00:14:24,581 --> 00:14:27,448
It's probably just feedback
from the implants in his cortex.
180
00:14:27,618 --> 00:14:30,587
- Probably?
- It's nothing to worry about.
181
00:14:30,754 --> 00:14:34,281
Everything's still holding
within operational parameters.
182
00:14:34,458 --> 00:14:36,255
Make sure it stays that way.
183
00:14:38,711 --> 00:14:39,803
Sir.
184
00:14:39,979 --> 00:14:43,005
We just received information
that Burke has been eliminated.
185
00:14:43,386 --> 00:14:44,386
Evidence trail?
186
00:14:44,554 --> 00:14:47,717
Leads straight back to the
mob, per your instructions.
187
00:14:47,891 --> 00:14:49,984
But there's been a complication.
188
00:14:51,461 --> 00:14:54,294
- There was a witness.
- Nothing...
189
00:14:54,464 --> 00:14:56,728
can get in the way of
completing this project.
190
00:14:58,168 --> 00:14:59,692
Nothing.
191
00:15:02,272 --> 00:15:03,330
Take care of it.
192
00:15:07,777 --> 00:15:10,871
You heard the man. Prep him.
193
00:15:27,083 --> 00:15:31,144
Lois, quit being stubborn. You're gonna
stay here until we get this cleared up.
194
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,413
Thanks, but I can
take care of myself.
195
00:15:33,589 --> 00:15:36,149
Nobody's doubting that,
but you'd be safer here.
196
00:15:36,325 --> 00:15:39,226
It'll be like old times, like
when you first got to Smallville.
197
00:15:39,395 --> 00:15:42,125
You're just hoping to catch
me in the shower again.
198
00:15:44,667 --> 00:15:48,569
I mean, thank you.
I really appreciate it.
199
00:15:48,738 --> 00:15:52,834
Well, you're always welcome
here, Lois. You're practically family.
200
00:15:54,277 --> 00:15:58,373
Well, since I'm being a burden,
can I just ask one more favor?
201
00:15:58,548 --> 00:16:00,175
What do you need?
202
00:16:01,751 --> 00:16:04,311
Your mom's political influence.
203
00:16:08,524 --> 00:16:10,651
Do you think you could
use your connections...
204
00:16:10,827 --> 00:16:13,091
to get a look at
Wes' military jacket?
205
00:16:13,262 --> 00:16:15,568
I thought you said
the file was classified.
206
00:16:15,580 --> 00:16:15,992
It is.
207
00:16:16,666 --> 00:16:17,860
I contacted the general...
208
00:16:18,034 --> 00:16:21,128
but he went all cold war on
me and said that I should drop it.
209
00:16:21,304 --> 00:16:22,999
Well, he might have a point.
210
00:16:23,172 --> 00:16:24,833
Three men are already dead.
211
00:16:25,174 --> 00:16:28,200
Which is why I have to
get my hands on that file.
212
00:16:28,644 --> 00:16:31,511
It might explain why
Wes is doing this.
213
00:16:33,015 --> 00:16:36,041
Well, I've made a few
friends in Washington.
214
00:16:36,219 --> 00:16:39,814
I don't know if they can
help, but I'll see what I can do.
215
00:16:40,656 --> 00:16:42,556
Thanks, Mrs. K.
216
00:16:45,528 --> 00:16:49,225
I know that look. It's usually followed
by you almost getting yourself killed.
217
00:16:49,398 --> 00:16:52,856
Well, this isn't just another
story, Clark. Not this time.
218
00:16:53,035 --> 00:16:56,304
Wes and I... we were close.
219
00:16:56,472 --> 00:16:58,337
I know it was him.
220
00:17:01,477 --> 00:17:03,104
Stay here.
221
00:17:15,591 --> 00:17:17,320
Looks like it was just the wind.
222
00:17:17,493 --> 00:17:18,517
Clark, watch out!
223
00:17:24,834 --> 00:17:26,267
Wes.
224
00:17:44,453 --> 00:17:47,047
How could Lois have been
kidnapped with you right there?
225
00:17:47,223 --> 00:17:50,681
- She just vanished, Chloe. Literally.
- So he could teleport, like Alicia?
226
00:17:50,860 --> 00:17:53,624
It was different. It was more
like Graham Garrett could do.
227
00:17:53,796 --> 00:17:58,130
- So he turned himself invisible.
- Not just himself. He took Lois with him.
228
00:17:58,301 --> 00:18:01,600
And it's not his only
ability. And when he hit me...
229
00:18:01,771 --> 00:18:05,571
Chloe, I haven't felt anything like
that since I went up against Titan.
230
00:18:06,209 --> 00:18:09,736
- Clark, we need to find Lois before Wes...
- We will.
231
00:18:10,646 --> 00:18:14,343
Have you uncovered anything that
might help us figure out where he took her?
232
00:18:14,517 --> 00:18:17,782
I haven't been able to retrieve
information from the military files.
233
00:18:17,954 --> 00:18:22,414
But I did run a crosscheck on his
name and I found one hit: Jodi Keenan.
234
00:18:22,792 --> 00:18:24,384
Jodi Keenan?
235
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,755
The woman that tried
to kill Lex in the tunnels?
236
00:18:26,929 --> 00:18:28,897
- Guess who she's married to.
- Wes?
237
00:18:29,765 --> 00:18:32,791
Look like Jodi found out that
Wes wasn't killed in Afghanistan.
238
00:18:32,969 --> 00:18:36,564
And she followed the trail
all the way back here, to Lex.
239
00:18:36,739 --> 00:18:39,537
Okay, so Wes is exhibiting
multiple krypto-abilities.
240
00:18:39,709 --> 00:18:41,006
And according to Lois...
241
00:18:41,177 --> 00:18:44,840
he's also on the receiving end
of some sort of mind control.
242
00:18:45,014 --> 00:18:49,075
How much do you wanna bet that all of
this plays into Lex's 33.1 experiments?
243
00:18:49,252 --> 00:18:51,550
Chloe, I need you to
contact oliver and his team.
244
00:18:51,721 --> 00:18:54,849
They've been taking out 33.1
facilities all around the world.
245
00:18:55,024 --> 00:18:58,323
- Isn't that a hero-to-hero phone call?
- I'm going to talk to Lex.
246
00:18:58,494 --> 00:19:02,225
Clark, come on. We both know
that Lex isn't gonna tell you anything.
247
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,225
Then I'll find
somebody who will.
248
00:19:23,552 --> 00:19:25,144
Too much?
249
00:19:25,888 --> 00:19:27,583
No, it's...
250
00:19:30,926 --> 00:19:33,360
I thought maybe
if I set the mood...
251
00:19:36,432 --> 00:19:37,865
or maybe not.
252
00:19:39,535 --> 00:19:41,002
Lex...
253
00:19:54,450 --> 00:19:55,815
Sorry to bother you, sir.
254
00:19:59,088 --> 00:20:01,056
The asset failed to return.
255
00:20:08,731 --> 00:20:10,460
I'll be right back.
256
00:20:18,607 --> 00:20:20,165
Lana.
257
00:20:23,779 --> 00:20:25,919
You shouldn't be
here. Lex is just outside.
258
00:20:25,931 --> 00:20:26,839
I had to see you.
259
00:20:29,452 --> 00:20:30,680
Clark.
260
00:20:31,854 --> 00:20:33,879
It's not about you and me.
261
00:20:34,256 --> 00:20:35,883
Lois is in trouble.
262
00:20:36,058 --> 00:20:37,958
And what makes
you think I can help?
263
00:20:38,127 --> 00:20:40,459
Because it seems there's
a connection to Lex.
264
00:20:41,063 --> 00:20:42,394
Lana...
265
00:20:42,565 --> 00:20:46,433
have you seen or heard anything?
Maybe something about the military?
266
00:20:47,870 --> 00:20:49,235
Ares.
267
00:20:50,373 --> 00:20:51,806
That's the god of war.
268
00:20:53,476 --> 00:20:58,311
Lex has been talking with Senator Burke
about this military project called Ares.
269
00:20:58,848 --> 00:21:02,011
Yesterday, he
threatened to shut it down.
270
00:21:03,152 --> 00:21:06,485
- Maybe you should talk with him.
- I can't.
271
00:21:06,655 --> 00:21:08,145
Senator Burke is dead.
272
00:21:09,125 --> 00:21:12,322
He was murdered by the
same man who has Lois.
273
00:21:13,729 --> 00:21:15,822
Lana, is there anything else?
274
00:21:15,998 --> 00:21:18,398
Maybe something
that Lex let slip?
275
00:21:19,835 --> 00:21:24,272
One of his men was just saying something
about an asset that failed to return.
276
00:21:26,375 --> 00:21:28,002
An asset?
277
00:21:28,177 --> 00:21:31,078
That's what the
military calls its soldiers.
278
00:21:33,048 --> 00:21:35,278
Lex is connected to this.
279
00:21:36,819 --> 00:21:40,277
Whatever reason you had to go
through with the wedding, it was wrong.
280
00:21:40,456 --> 00:21:42,856
You have no idea
what he's capable of.
281
00:21:44,593 --> 00:21:47,084
You'd be surprised what I know.
282
00:21:48,831 --> 00:21:51,026
Then why are you still here?
283
00:21:55,671 --> 00:21:58,572
We all have our secrets, Clark.
284
00:21:59,675 --> 00:22:03,975
Sometimes we have to keep them to
protect the people that we care about.
285
00:22:08,117 --> 00:22:09,641
Lana...
286
00:22:10,653 --> 00:22:12,211
I know.
287
00:22:26,168 --> 00:22:27,601
Lana?
288
00:22:29,004 --> 00:22:30,596
You okay?
289
00:22:30,773 --> 00:22:34,038
Yeah. Yeah, I'm
just a little chilly.
290
00:22:39,482 --> 00:22:41,450
Look, something's come up.
291
00:22:41,951 --> 00:22:44,317
I need to go into the office.
292
00:22:48,057 --> 00:22:49,752
Don't wait up.
293
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:38,370
Wes.
294
00:23:38,941 --> 00:23:43,002
Designation incorrect. Call
sign: Ares, prototype, Mark 4.
295
00:23:43,178 --> 00:23:45,578
You don't remember me, do you?
296
00:23:46,849 --> 00:23:48,783
It's Lois.
297
00:23:49,051 --> 00:23:50,416
Lois Lane?
298
00:23:51,220 --> 00:23:54,189
My father is General Sam Lane.
299
00:23:54,557 --> 00:23:57,086
And when I was a
kid, he used to drag me
300
00:23:57,098 --> 00:23:59,893
around to all the bases
he was stationed at.
301
00:24:00,062 --> 00:24:01,927
One of them was Fort Avelson.
302
00:24:02,831 --> 00:24:04,458
Where I met you.
303
00:24:05,668 --> 00:24:08,660
Do you remember
how you got that scar?
304
00:24:10,172 --> 00:24:14,302
You used to tell everybody that
you got it falling off your dirt bike.
305
00:24:14,476 --> 00:24:16,671
But that's not how it happened.
306
00:24:18,647 --> 00:24:21,275
We got into the
general's whiskey...
307
00:24:21,884 --> 00:24:24,409
then we broke into
the storage warehouse.
308
00:24:24,853 --> 00:24:27,447
We were wrestling
around, being stupid.
309
00:24:29,358 --> 00:24:31,223
And I kissed you.
310
00:24:33,162 --> 00:24:35,790
The first time I ever
kissed anybody.
311
00:24:37,333 --> 00:24:40,029
And you smiled
your crooked smile...
312
00:24:42,504 --> 00:24:46,531
and then you puked and passed out,
and cracked your head open on the floor.
313
00:24:47,776 --> 00:24:50,802
Never could handle
your liquor, Wes.
314
00:24:58,721 --> 00:25:00,018
- Mission incomplete.
- No.
315
00:25:00,189 --> 00:25:02,157
Eliminate target.
316
00:25:04,627 --> 00:25:06,993
Now, why did you bring me here?
317
00:25:07,896 --> 00:25:10,194
Think, Wes.
318
00:25:10,366 --> 00:25:13,733
This is Fort Avelson,
okay? This is the warehouse.
319
00:25:13,902 --> 00:25:16,427
This is where I
kissed you that night.
320
00:25:18,841 --> 00:25:20,832
Remember me.
321
00:25:47,736 --> 00:25:48,736
Mr. Luthor.
322
00:25:48,904 --> 00:25:52,340
Three years and a billion dollars
spent on Ares. You tell me you lost him?
323
00:25:52,508 --> 00:25:54,703
We're in uncharted
territory here, Mr. Luthor.
324
00:25:54,877 --> 00:25:57,778
Synthesizing multiple meteor
abilities is difficult enough.
325
00:25:57,946 --> 00:26:00,073
But stringing together
the molecular chain...
326
00:26:00,249 --> 00:26:03,707
with peptides extracted from that
creature that Bartlett recovered...
327
00:26:03,886 --> 00:26:07,947
The only thing that allows all
these abilities to exist in one subject.
328
00:26:08,123 --> 00:26:11,251
Titan's genetic material was the
key to making this project viable.
329
00:26:11,427 --> 00:26:14,328
Which makes the results as
unpredictable as the substances...
330
00:26:14,496 --> 00:26:15,963
I'm being asked to work with.
331
00:26:16,131 --> 00:26:19,225
You're being asked to help
protect the world, doctor.
332
00:26:19,401 --> 00:26:23,497
Unstable criminals with dangerous powers
are becoming more and more common.
333
00:26:23,672 --> 00:26:27,972
Humanity's only chance of
surviving the onslaught is this project.
334
00:26:28,143 --> 00:26:30,312
So kick that big brain
of yours in high gear
335
00:26:30,324 --> 00:26:32,307
and figure out what
the hell went wrong.
336
00:26:32,481 --> 00:26:34,346
Something might have
triggered a decay...
337
00:26:34,516 --> 00:26:36,984
in his memory blocks, a
familiar place or person...
338
00:26:37,152 --> 00:26:38,414
Can't you get a fix on him?
339
00:26:38,587 --> 00:26:42,284
The field he generates makes it
impossible to track him electronically.
340
00:26:42,458 --> 00:26:43,891
It's part of his design.
341
00:26:44,059 --> 00:26:46,619
I want our dog back
on his leash, doctor.
342
00:26:46,795 --> 00:26:49,423
Or you'll be my next experiment.
343
00:26:51,900 --> 00:26:55,563
Maybe I could reposition
the LuthorCorp satellites.
344
00:26:56,939 --> 00:26:59,067
Generate a broad
spectrum pulse that will
345
00:26:59,079 --> 00:27:01,376
hopefully reinitiate his
command directives.
346
00:27:01,543 --> 00:27:04,603
- But there's no guarantee.
- I'm not asking for guarantees.
347
00:27:04,780 --> 00:27:06,839
I'm asking for results.
348
00:27:07,015 --> 00:27:10,451
I want Ares back online
and his mission completed.
349
00:27:12,221 --> 00:27:14,155
Start the pulse.
350
00:27:35,310 --> 00:27:37,938
I killed a United
States senator?
351
00:27:39,581 --> 00:27:41,481
What happened?
352
00:27:41,817 --> 00:27:43,978
How did you end up like this?
353
00:27:49,424 --> 00:27:52,655
I was stationed in Afghanistan.
354
00:27:54,062 --> 00:27:55,461
Our convoy hit an IED.
355
00:27:57,566 --> 00:28:00,194
And then I woke up
in a military hospital.
356
00:28:01,570 --> 00:28:05,062
- That's when Luthor showed up.
- Lex?
357
00:28:06,542 --> 00:28:08,407
I should've known.
358
00:28:10,212 --> 00:28:12,043
He forced you
into this, didn't he?
359
00:28:12,214 --> 00:28:14,648
He offered me a way to
keep serving my country.
360
00:28:14,817 --> 00:28:17,081
By turning you into a
brain-dead assassin?
361
00:28:17,986 --> 00:28:20,580
You think this is
what I signed on for?
362
00:28:20,756 --> 00:28:23,884
He told me Project Ares was gonna
help soldiers protect themselves.
363
00:28:24,059 --> 00:28:25,993
So they wouldn't
end up like I did.
364
00:28:26,161 --> 00:28:28,857
We won't let him get away
with this, I promise you.
365
00:28:29,031 --> 00:28:33,525
Okay, we will expose
Lex and Project Ares...
366
00:28:36,505 --> 00:28:40,566
- What is it? Wes?
- It's them.
367
00:28:41,376 --> 00:28:44,368
They're trying to get
back into my head.
368
00:28:44,546 --> 00:28:46,343
Fight it. Just look
at me. Look at me.
369
00:28:46,515 --> 00:28:48,779
Run. Run!
370
00:29:10,372 --> 00:29:13,637
Lex was experimenting on Wes,
trying to make him into a super soldier.
371
00:29:13,809 --> 00:29:16,937
With pick-and-choose meteor
powers, oliver told me the same thing.
372
00:29:17,112 --> 00:29:18,409
- Oliver knew about Wes?
- No.
373
00:29:18,580 --> 00:29:20,878
He found an earlier
model in the Utah desert.
374
00:29:21,049 --> 00:29:24,746
This isn't the first time one of Lex's
souped-up Rambos has gone AWoL.
375
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,478
- Was he able to stop him?
- Barely.
376
00:29:26,655 --> 00:29:29,954
It took the equivalent of a mini
nuke to break through his force field.
377
00:29:30,125 --> 00:29:32,491
- Even if you find him...
- Maybe this will help.
378
00:29:32,661 --> 00:29:35,630
- Wes' military jacket.
- How did you get that?
379
00:29:35,797 --> 00:29:38,891
Called in a few favors and had to
promise a couple dozen of my own.
380
00:29:39,067 --> 00:29:41,467
Lois was right. Wes was a hero.
381
00:29:41,637 --> 00:29:44,333
He took her
instead of killing her.
382
00:29:44,506 --> 00:29:47,566
If whatever programming they're
using to control Wes is failing...
383
00:29:47,743 --> 00:29:49,608
he'll go back to a
place he remembers.
384
00:29:49,778 --> 00:29:52,338
Somewhere he
lived or was stationed.
385
00:29:54,483 --> 00:29:57,680
The military base Wes grew up on
was decommissioned a few years ago.
386
00:29:57,853 --> 00:29:59,616
Fort Avelson,
outside of Metropolis.
387
00:29:59,788 --> 00:30:03,155
Sam Lane was stationed there
when Lois was in junior high. Maybe...
388
00:30:07,930 --> 00:30:11,093
- Do you ever get used to that?
- Not really.
389
00:30:40,829 --> 00:30:42,194
Wes?
390
00:30:44,299 --> 00:30:46,233
You have to fight this.
391
00:30:48,170 --> 00:30:50,502
Don't let them do
this to you again.
392
00:30:52,474 --> 00:30:54,704
You are not a murderer.
393
00:30:56,044 --> 00:30:57,511
Please.
394
00:30:58,814 --> 00:31:00,213
Wes.
395
00:32:33,608 --> 00:32:35,098
Wes?
396
00:32:37,879 --> 00:32:40,541
System damage.
397
00:32:41,483 --> 00:32:46,386
Return protocol, three,
eight, five, two, nine...
398
00:32:46,555 --> 00:32:49,080
five, three, two...
- Wes.
399
00:32:49,257 --> 00:32:52,055
Three, eight...
400
00:32:55,163 --> 00:32:56,790
Lois.
401
00:32:59,367 --> 00:33:01,460
You're gonna be fine.
Do you understand me?
402
00:33:01,636 --> 00:33:04,161
You're gonna be okay. I'm
gonna go get help, all right?
403
00:33:04,339 --> 00:33:05,806
No.
404
00:33:07,242 --> 00:33:09,073
Better this way.
405
00:33:10,212 --> 00:33:13,409
They'll never stop trying...
406
00:33:13,582 --> 00:33:15,049
to control me.
407
00:33:15,217 --> 00:33:17,879
You have to stay with
me. Do you hear me?
408
00:33:18,854 --> 00:33:22,551
Don't let them do this...
409
00:33:22,724 --> 00:33:25,249
to anyone else.
410
00:33:26,361 --> 00:33:29,387
- Okay?
- Okay. I promise.
411
00:33:29,564 --> 00:33:32,362
But you just stay with
me, okay? Don't leave me.
412
00:33:33,969 --> 00:33:35,368
Wes?
413
00:33:38,940 --> 00:33:40,271
Wes?
414
00:33:41,943 --> 00:33:43,467
No. No.
415
00:33:45,147 --> 00:33:46,614
Wes?
416
00:33:48,083 --> 00:33:49,641
Wes.
417
00:33:49,818 --> 00:33:51,479
Come on.
418
00:33:51,987 --> 00:33:53,716
Don't leave me.
419
00:34:10,539 --> 00:34:12,439
How does this happen?
420
00:34:12,774 --> 00:34:16,141
Wes wanted to serve his country
and wound up being used as a pawn.
421
00:34:16,311 --> 00:34:18,973
It happens more
than I like to think.
422
00:34:19,414 --> 00:34:21,780
Well, now that
Senator Burke is gone...
423
00:34:21,950 --> 00:34:25,044
Burke isn't the only one
on the hill lining his pockets.
424
00:34:25,220 --> 00:34:28,189
Wherever there's power, there'll
be men like Lex to exploit it.
425
00:34:28,356 --> 00:34:31,325
Maybe you can do something.
Maybe open an investigation or...
426
00:34:31,493 --> 00:34:34,326
Clark, I'm a little
fish in a tiny pond.
427
00:34:34,496 --> 00:34:36,930
My influence doesn't
reach nearly that far up.
428
00:34:37,098 --> 00:34:39,760
Then perhaps it's time
to extend that influence.
429
00:34:42,370 --> 00:34:44,770
I just got off the phone
with the governor.
430
00:34:44,940 --> 00:34:48,103
We were talking about your
filling Burke's senatorial seat...
431
00:34:48,276 --> 00:34:50,642
until the next election.
- Me?
432
00:34:50,812 --> 00:34:54,646
Kansas needs to be represented by
someone of unassailable character...
433
00:34:54,816 --> 00:34:58,752
who can restore the faith
that Burke has tarnished.
434
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:04,119
The governor agreed. You are the
perfect choice for the U.S. Senate.
435
00:35:06,795 --> 00:35:08,285
Clark.
436
00:35:09,598 --> 00:35:11,190
You agree?
437
00:35:21,142 --> 00:35:22,734
You should do it, Mom.
438
00:35:26,081 --> 00:35:27,946
I think you should do it.
439
00:35:29,217 --> 00:35:31,583
And I think Dad would
have wanted you to.
440
00:35:33,355 --> 00:35:36,017
I... I can't move to Washington.
441
00:35:36,191 --> 00:35:38,386
We're barely keeping
the farm running as it is.
442
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,755
Clark can take care of
that. Can't you, Clark?
443
00:35:45,367 --> 00:35:47,494
I can lease out the
back 40 to Ben Hubbard.
444
00:35:47,669 --> 00:35:49,432
He's been wanting
to work that land.
445
00:35:49,604 --> 00:35:50,628
Oh, Clark...
446
00:35:53,141 --> 00:35:55,769
You and Dad always taught
me to put other people first.
447
00:35:57,345 --> 00:36:00,439
To use my abilities
to help those in need.
448
00:36:01,616 --> 00:36:03,880
You have the chance
to affect so many people.
449
00:36:05,220 --> 00:36:08,280
To change so many lives
if you go to Washington.
450
00:36:10,225 --> 00:36:13,592
That's where you need to be if you
really wanna make a difference, Mom.
451
00:36:16,898 --> 00:36:19,628
And that's where people
like Wes need you to be.
452
00:36:31,313 --> 00:36:32,644
I don't care what it takes.
453
00:36:32,814 --> 00:36:35,749
I want the body transported
to the lab immediately.
454
00:36:35,917 --> 00:36:37,817
Make it happen.
455
00:36:40,588 --> 00:36:42,886
Hey. You're up.
456
00:36:43,058 --> 00:36:44,889
For a while now.
457
00:36:45,393 --> 00:36:46,860
You never came home last night.
458
00:36:47,028 --> 00:36:49,656
There was an unforeseen
complication with Project Ares.
459
00:36:50,865 --> 00:36:51,865
Ares?
460
00:36:52,033 --> 00:36:56,595
The secret military project I was
discussing with Senator Burke yesterday.
461
00:36:58,306 --> 00:37:00,274
When you were
listening outside the door.
462
00:37:06,981 --> 00:37:09,006
Lex, I'm sorry.
463
00:37:09,951 --> 00:37:14,411
There is no excuse. My
curiosity got the best of me.
464
00:37:17,092 --> 00:37:19,356
You're not a cat, Lana.
465
00:37:19,961 --> 00:37:22,020
Don't skulk around like one.
466
00:37:25,166 --> 00:37:27,225
It won't happen again.
467
00:37:31,539 --> 00:37:35,305
Every time I've opened my
heart to someone I care about...
468
00:37:36,711 --> 00:37:39,475
I've ended up being
very disappointed.
469
00:37:41,349 --> 00:37:42,611
If...
470
00:37:43,051 --> 00:37:45,611
If you ever betrayed me...
471
00:37:46,921 --> 00:37:49,082
I don't know what I'd do.
472
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,158
I'd never hurt the man I love.
473
00:37:59,901 --> 00:38:01,926
Of course not.
474
00:38:03,938 --> 00:38:08,204
But if there's anything you ever wanna
know about my business dealings...
475
00:38:09,644 --> 00:38:10,906
just ask.
476
00:38:12,447 --> 00:38:14,312
No secrets?
477
00:38:15,817 --> 00:38:17,682
No secrets.
478
00:38:26,961 --> 00:38:29,759
Mrs. Kent goes to Washington.
479
00:38:29,931 --> 00:38:32,729
If anyone can give Jimmy
Stewart a run for his money...
480
00:38:32,901 --> 00:38:34,664
I just wish Lionel
wasn't helping her.
481
00:38:34,836 --> 00:38:38,067
Think the king of ulterior motives
has something up his Armani sleeve?
482
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:39,297
When doesn't he?
483
00:38:39,474 --> 00:38:42,238
Just right now, his
son's a bigger problem.
484
00:38:42,410 --> 00:38:44,310
That's the understatement
of the century.
485
00:38:44,479 --> 00:38:46,208
We've always know
Lex has a dark side.
486
00:38:46,381 --> 00:38:49,646
With what he's been doing recently,
we're heading towards pitch-black.
487
00:38:49,818 --> 00:38:52,651
I'll make sure Lana's nowhere
near him when the lights go out.
488
00:38:52,821 --> 00:38:55,289
Hopefully he'll be behind
bars long before that.
489
00:38:55,457 --> 00:38:57,220
Lois is meeting the
feds at the morgue.
490
00:38:57,392 --> 00:39:00,122
And once they connect
Wes' body with Lex...
491
00:39:00,295 --> 00:39:02,786
and then Burke's murder...
- Don't hold your breath.
492
00:39:02,997 --> 00:39:04,055
Wes' body's gone.
493
00:39:05,133 --> 00:39:08,364
What about the feds? What did they
say when you told what happened?
494
00:39:08,870 --> 00:39:10,064
I work at The Inquisitor.
495
00:39:10,238 --> 00:39:13,264
You know, aliens, Bigfoot,
Elvis. What do you think they said?
496
00:39:13,441 --> 00:39:18,071
As far as they're concerned, Wes
Keenan died in action four months ago.
497
00:39:18,613 --> 00:39:20,513
Just like it said in his file.
498
00:39:20,682 --> 00:39:22,343
He deserved better than this.
499
00:39:23,585 --> 00:39:24,847
Lois, I'm sorry.
500
00:39:26,187 --> 00:39:28,155
Don't be sorry for me.
501
00:39:28,323 --> 00:39:30,188
Be sorry for Lex.
502
00:39:30,358 --> 00:39:32,417
He's gonna pay for
what he did to Wes.
503
00:39:32,594 --> 00:39:36,257
And I'm gonna make damn sure
that he doesn't do this to anyone else.
504
00:39:57,585 --> 00:39:59,610
You were almost perfect.
505
00:40:00,655 --> 00:40:02,486
Take him apart.
506
00:40:02,657 --> 00:40:04,147
I wanna know what went wrong...
507
00:40:04,325 --> 00:40:06,816
so we don't make the
same mistake next time.
508
00:40:06,995 --> 00:40:10,761
Quantitating the abnormality
won't do us any good, Mr. Luthor.
509
00:40:10,932 --> 00:40:14,026
We used up nearly everything
we harvested from Titan.
510
00:40:14,202 --> 00:40:18,195
There aren't enough alien peptide
sequences to continue the project.
511
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,003
I'm already working on
procuring a replacement.
512
00:40:23,411 --> 00:40:27,609
I promise you, doctor, this
isn't the end of Project Ares.
513
00:40:31,686 --> 00:40:33,950
This is just the beginning.
