1
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:10,171
- Tess.
- Um...
2
00:00:13,024 --> 00:00:16,017
You didn't have to come out here.
There's caffeine dealers in Metropolis.
3
00:00:18,695 --> 00:00:21,847
I just... I just... I just feel like
you and I haven't had a chance...
4
00:00:22,159 --> 00:00:23,593
to really catch up lately.
5
00:00:25,454 --> 00:00:27,047
Okay.
6
00:00:28,917 --> 00:00:31,386
- So how are you?
- Good. Good.
7
00:00:31,670 --> 00:00:35,425
- How are you?
- I'm fine, thanks.
8
00:00:38,221 --> 00:00:39,701
Right. Okay. Uh...
9
00:00:43,266 --> 00:00:47,260
It's just that there has been a
little incident with our little project.
10
00:00:47,606 --> 00:00:49,325
What happened?
11
00:00:49,567 --> 00:00:50,762
Um...
12
00:00:51,652 --> 00:00:54,690
Ever since Alexander's reboot,
he has been totally glitch-free...
13
00:00:54,990 --> 00:00:57,459
and ready to
enter the real world.
14
00:00:57,743 --> 00:01:02,534
Except he needs... He
needs someone to guide him.
15
00:01:02,916 --> 00:01:06,148
Um, someone like you.
16
00:01:06,878 --> 00:01:08,471
Me?
17
00:01:10,342 --> 00:01:12,538
He's a genetically
engineered version of Lex.
18
00:01:12,803 --> 00:01:15,159
- I don't think I'd be the best mentor.
- Mm.
19
00:01:15,431 --> 00:01:19,789
About that, he's soaking up
new information like an MIT grad.
20
00:01:20,144 --> 00:01:25,299
And I think... I think he just needs
someone there for him, like family.
21
00:01:25,693 --> 00:01:28,572
Well, technically,
you are his sister.
22
00:01:29,322 --> 00:01:30,597
But I'm no Clark Kent.
23
00:01:32,326 --> 00:01:35,558
I know you are the one that
can bring out the best in him.
24
00:01:37,499 --> 00:01:40,219
Which is why he is
outside waiting in the car.
25
00:01:41,627 --> 00:01:43,141
Here?
26
00:01:43,381 --> 00:01:46,180
Tess, you shouldn't... What if he
remembers something about me?
27
00:01:46,468 --> 00:01:49,825
He doesn't remember anything.
He's going through this metamorphosis.
28
00:01:50,139 --> 00:01:53,098
Ever since he's been changing,
we have been learning new things.
29
00:01:53,393 --> 00:01:57,387
Like things about
his, um, genetic origin.
30
00:02:13,625 --> 00:02:15,856
Hey, Tess, check it out.
31
00:02:18,006 --> 00:02:21,602
Um, he doesn't just
have Lex's genes.
32
00:02:22,010 --> 00:02:24,969
Half his DNA came from you.
33
00:03:47,613 --> 00:03:51,368
So it's not just the Luthor
males who like secrets.
34
00:03:51,701 --> 00:03:55,456
Given the fact that you're here,
this place isn't really much of a secret.
35
00:03:55,790 --> 00:03:59,784
Ah. Yeah. But you are forgetting
I'm running LuthorCorp now.
36
00:04:00,128 --> 00:04:02,802
One of my crackerjack
accountants informed me...
37
00:04:03,091 --> 00:04:06,562
that millions of dollars had
been funneled into this facility.
38
00:04:06,886 --> 00:04:11,085
But it looks as if
you've closed up shop.
39
00:04:12,852 --> 00:04:14,172
I applaud your efforts...
40
00:04:15,355 --> 00:04:18,029
but you can't hide
Alexander from me forever.
41
00:04:18,358 --> 00:04:22,238
I'm saving him from an encore
performance of Daddy Dearest.
42
00:04:22,572 --> 00:04:23,892
Give me my son.
43
00:04:24,365 --> 00:04:27,324
I'm surprised you are so
hell-bent on this family reunion...
44
00:04:27,619 --> 00:04:29,497
given the fact
that in this world...
45
00:04:29,747 --> 00:04:32,819
it was Lex that sent Lionel
plummeting to his death.
46
00:04:33,125 --> 00:04:37,597
That's proof that the Lex
you knew was a true Luthor.
47
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,315
I made a terrible mistake, Tess.
48
00:04:45,016 --> 00:04:49,932
I should never have trusted Clark
more than my own flesh and blood.
49
00:04:54,193 --> 00:04:56,662
Considering what
happened to me...
50
00:04:56,946 --> 00:05:00,781
I'd say that turning your back on
your own is the dominant Luthor trait.
51
00:05:01,118 --> 00:05:04,156
Which is why the Luthor
legacy ends with you.
52
00:05:07,792 --> 00:05:09,146
Tess.
53
00:05:11,630 --> 00:05:13,064
Yeah?
54
00:05:16,303 --> 00:05:22,698
If I'd been your father when
Lionel gave you up for adoption...
55
00:05:24,145 --> 00:05:26,341
I would have done
precisely as he did.
56
00:05:27,858 --> 00:05:29,372
Why?
57
00:05:29,818 --> 00:05:32,049
Because you can't control me?
58
00:05:32,321 --> 00:05:33,321
No.
59
00:05:33,532 --> 00:05:35,967
Because you are inferior.
60
00:05:37,953 --> 00:05:42,948
Imagine what a boy like Alexander
could do if he had the right guidance.
61
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:51,398
You're right.
62
00:05:54,557 --> 00:05:58,028
You're right. Come with me.
63
00:06:06,113 --> 00:06:08,264
Your son is in there.
64
00:06:12,118 --> 00:06:16,431
We couldn't find a cure to
stop the accelerated mitosis.
65
00:06:19,295 --> 00:06:21,048
You're lying.
66
00:06:21,506 --> 00:06:23,065
I don't believe you.
67
00:06:23,301 --> 00:06:27,261
There are enough bone chips
in those ashes for a DNA test.
68
00:06:27,596 --> 00:06:30,509
That will prove that
I'm telling the truth.
69
00:06:35,022 --> 00:06:37,617
Your son is dead, Lionel.
70
00:06:38,234 --> 00:06:40,954
You'll never be able
to hurt him again.
71
00:06:55,171 --> 00:06:57,163
Thanks for your help.
72
00:06:57,424 --> 00:07:00,144
You're the one hiding a
mutant under your roof.
73
00:07:00,927 --> 00:07:03,203
Tess keeps me on the move.
74
00:07:03,473 --> 00:07:07,433
This is a hundred times better than
playing lab rat for a bunch of doctors.
75
00:07:08,187 --> 00:07:10,827
They think I can't hear
what they say about me.
76
00:07:13,818 --> 00:07:15,616
So your name is Conner?
77
00:07:15,862 --> 00:07:17,740
It's from my medical files.
78
00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:21,870
Cognitional Neuroplastic
Replicant. CNR. Conner.
79
00:07:22,204 --> 00:07:25,038
Tess thinks she's kept
that a big secret from me.
80
00:07:25,333 --> 00:07:27,245
I think she's just
embarrassed, you know?
81
00:07:27,502 --> 00:07:29,414
Taking care of a
walking freak show.
82
00:07:29,670 --> 00:07:31,582
She doesn't think that way.
83
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,833
I promise, she's
trying to protect you.
84
00:07:35,302 --> 00:07:38,101
From how people would react
if they found out what I was?
85
00:07:38,681 --> 00:07:42,470
You'd be surprised how much it doesn't
matter when people get to know you.
86
00:07:43,145 --> 00:07:44,977
Well, that's really PC of you...
87
00:07:45,232 --> 00:07:49,351
but you don't understand what it feels
like every time you meet someone new...
88
00:07:49,695 --> 00:07:51,732
some new doctor...
89
00:07:51,988 --> 00:07:54,378
if they're gonna hate
you just for who you are...
90
00:07:54,659 --> 00:07:57,731
or maybe even be jealous that
they can't do what you can do.
91
00:07:59,498 --> 00:08:03,014
Is it true you can't remember anything
from before you got your abilities?
92
00:08:03,336 --> 00:08:04,531
Zip.
93
00:08:04,754 --> 00:08:06,108
Mutation's a bitch.
94
00:08:08,050 --> 00:08:11,202
Honestly, I understand
Tess is trying to protect me...
95
00:08:11,512 --> 00:08:13,743
from a whole bunch of stuff...
96
00:08:14,516 --> 00:08:16,587
but I need to find out
where I come from...
97
00:08:16,852 --> 00:08:18,081
why I am the way I am.
98
00:08:21,066 --> 00:08:23,581
I'm sure she'll tell
you when you're ready.
99
00:08:24,361 --> 00:08:26,193
Well, I'm ready now.
100
00:08:26,573 --> 00:08:30,692
No disrespect, but I can't
stand around here milking cows...
101
00:08:31,036 --> 00:08:33,426
when there's so
much I need to know.
102
00:08:34,457 --> 00:08:36,972
I appreciate your
hospitality but, uh...
103
00:08:38,670 --> 00:08:40,024
You're not leaving?
104
00:08:42,049 --> 00:08:44,609
That almost sounded
like it wasn't a question.
105
00:08:44,886 --> 00:08:46,639
Look, it's important...
106
00:08:47,681 --> 00:08:50,116
to Tess that you stick
around here for a while.
107
00:08:50,394 --> 00:08:53,148
And it's important to me that
I find out who and what I am.
108
00:08:53,437 --> 00:08:56,350
What if someone catches on
to the fact that you're different?
109
00:09:00,238 --> 00:09:02,150
I can't let you take
that risk. I'm sorry.
110
00:09:03,075 --> 00:09:05,715
Sorry, but it's my risk to take.
111
00:09:06,495 --> 00:09:08,248
Besides, you can't
exactly stop me.
112
00:09:15,548 --> 00:09:17,062
Whoa.
113
00:09:17,299 --> 00:09:18,779
You're...
114
00:09:19,510 --> 00:09:20,785
I'm like you.
115
00:09:22,598 --> 00:09:24,669
So does this mean...?
116
00:09:25,101 --> 00:09:28,094
Oh, my God. Are
you, like, my dad?
117
00:09:29,647 --> 00:09:31,286
I prefer brother.
118
00:09:31,526 --> 00:09:33,677
I thought I was the only
one with these powers.
119
00:09:33,944 --> 00:09:35,173
Well, me and the Blur.
120
00:09:36,990 --> 00:09:38,390
Wait.
121
00:09:38,616 --> 00:09:39,936
Are you...?
122
00:09:40,161 --> 00:09:42,517
Are you him? The Blur?
123
00:09:44,749 --> 00:09:46,422
How do you know about the Blur?
124
00:09:46,668 --> 00:09:50,503
Are you kidding me? I've read about
every save he's made. Or you've made.
125
00:09:50,841 --> 00:09:53,356
Let's go to Metropolis and
save somebody together.
126
00:09:53,634 --> 00:09:55,705
You still have some
things you need to learn.
127
00:09:55,971 --> 00:09:57,564
All I've been doing is learning.
128
00:09:57,806 --> 00:09:59,081
I wanna do something.
129
00:09:59,558 --> 00:10:01,754
Yeah, it's exciting
to have new abilities.
130
00:10:02,020 --> 00:10:04,057
But you need to learn
how to control them.
131
00:10:04,315 --> 00:10:07,513
We're gonna stay here
on the farm and practice.
132
00:10:08,319 --> 00:10:11,357
Come on. I don't need
to practice. Trust me.
133
00:10:11,656 --> 00:10:13,090
- I'm in total control.
- Clark.
134
00:10:15,494 --> 00:10:17,690
What the hell? I've
been trying to call you.
135
00:10:18,163 --> 00:10:20,280
Uh, Lois...
136
00:10:21,168 --> 00:10:22,602
this is my friend Conner.
137
00:10:22,836 --> 00:10:25,874
Conner, this is my
fiancée, Lois Lane.
138
00:10:26,174 --> 00:10:27,324
Hey.
139
00:10:28,093 --> 00:10:29,322
Hi.
140
00:10:29,554 --> 00:10:31,750
I need you to sign off
on the byline by noon...
141
00:10:32,014 --> 00:10:34,245
if we're gonna make
the evening edition.
142
00:10:51,997 --> 00:10:52,997
What just happened?
143
00:10:54,125 --> 00:10:55,559
Nothing.
144
00:11:05,805 --> 00:11:09,242
Okay, Alexander is now Conner?
145
00:11:09,893 --> 00:11:13,682
I guess if Puff Daddy can become Diddy
and Prince can be that squiggly thing.
146
00:11:14,023 --> 00:11:16,174
But I'm worried about
what's underneath.
147
00:11:16,442 --> 00:11:18,718
Memory wipe or not,
this kid tried to kill you.
148
00:11:18,988 --> 00:11:21,378
Look, his name is not the
only thing that changed.
149
00:11:21,656 --> 00:11:23,693
Conner has.
150
00:11:24,660 --> 00:11:26,617
He's only half
Lex, it turns out.
151
00:11:26,914 --> 00:11:28,143
What?
152
00:11:28,666 --> 00:11:32,023
If you say the other half is Tess, I'm
gonna write that family off for good.
153
00:11:32,336 --> 00:11:34,248
Lois, the other half is me.
154
00:11:38,010 --> 00:11:40,241
Are you trying to tell me...
155
00:11:40,513 --> 00:11:43,870
that Conner is the genetic love
child of Clark Kent and Lex Luthor?
156
00:11:45,143 --> 00:11:47,533
You don't have
to say it like that.
157
00:11:50,024 --> 00:11:51,299
Does he have your powers?
158
00:11:56,199 --> 00:11:58,794
I have no idea how I'm
supposed to be feeling about this.
159
00:11:59,077 --> 00:12:01,637
We have a kid in the barn,
and he's really freaked out.
160
00:12:01,955 --> 00:12:04,754
He doesn't feel like he belongs
anywhere. He needs our help.
161
00:12:06,043 --> 00:12:08,956
Clark, we don't know
what he's capable of.
162
00:12:10,674 --> 00:12:13,394
Lois, I understand that I'm
asking you to take on a lot.
163
00:12:13,678 --> 00:12:16,318
I knew when I signed up for
the Clark Kent tour package...
164
00:12:16,599 --> 00:12:19,273
that it would be
full of surprises.
165
00:12:20,394 --> 00:12:23,910
How can Lex shake up a human-Krypto
cocktail without you realizing it?
166
00:12:24,566 --> 00:12:28,560
He had a vial of my blood stolen
from Helen Bryce's office years ago.
167
00:12:29,572 --> 00:12:33,088
We thought we destroyed it,
but Lex must have kept a sample.
168
00:12:35,370 --> 00:12:36,850
After he engineered Alexander...
169
00:12:37,081 --> 00:12:41,394
he thought that my DNA would stop
the accelerated mitosis, and it worked.
170
00:12:42,087 --> 00:12:45,478
Lois, because of me, this kid has
no chance of having a normal life.
171
00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:47,631
No, hold on, Chicken Little.
172
00:12:47,885 --> 00:12:50,764
How do we know that Conner
wouldn't love to be the only kid...
173
00:12:51,056 --> 00:12:53,616
more powerful than a locomotive?
174
00:12:55,395 --> 00:12:57,352
- What?
- It's just sometimes I forget...
175
00:12:57,607 --> 00:13:00,042
that you never saw
what it was like...
176
00:13:02,110 --> 00:13:03,863
growing up, being different...
177
00:13:04,112 --> 00:13:07,264
feeling like an
outsider, like a freak...
178
00:13:07,659 --> 00:13:09,491
like you were all alone.
179
00:13:11,121 --> 00:13:12,601
You turned out pretty normal.
180
00:13:13,959 --> 00:13:16,997
Lois, you don't understand.
It never goes away.
181
00:13:17,296 --> 00:13:19,492
It's always in there.
182
00:13:22,052 --> 00:13:24,726
The only thing that's
ever made me feel...
183
00:13:25,972 --> 00:13:27,122
normal is you.
184
00:13:36,485 --> 00:13:38,556
Conner's not alone.
185
00:13:40,156 --> 00:13:41,795
He has us.
186
00:14:01,514 --> 00:14:03,267
What's with all the
cloak and dagger?
187
00:14:03,517 --> 00:14:06,032
I feel like I stepped
into a Tom Clancy novel.
188
00:14:06,312 --> 00:14:08,383
I know you're reeling
from the Conner bomb...
189
00:14:08,649 --> 00:14:10,720
that I dropped on
you this morning...
190
00:14:10,986 --> 00:14:13,740
but you're the only member
of our league that can help me.
191
00:14:14,030 --> 00:14:17,546
Considering I don't have any powers
or gadgets, I find that hard to believe.
192
00:14:17,868 --> 00:14:20,542
You can talk Clark into
getting rid of Lionel Luthor.
193
00:14:20,830 --> 00:14:23,550
I know you already went
up this hill and got shot down.
194
00:14:23,834 --> 00:14:25,905
Since the Lionel Clark
knew came around...
195
00:14:26,169 --> 00:14:29,082
Clark is hoping this Luthor
will change his spots too.
196
00:14:29,382 --> 00:14:31,942
Hey, we need to draw
a line in the sand, Lois.
197
00:14:32,219 --> 00:14:33,653
Clark needs to act now.
198
00:14:34,681 --> 00:14:38,231
Lionel knows his secret.
He knows what can hurt him.
199
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,873
And if they rumble in the asphalt
jungle, Clark could go down for the count.
200
00:14:43,232 --> 00:14:45,269
Yeah, he could.
But we both know...
201
00:14:45,526 --> 00:14:49,406
how Lionel destroyed his own world
when he had a superpowered son...
202
00:14:49,739 --> 00:14:52,618
and if he gets a hold of
Conner, he will do the same here.
203
00:14:53,244 --> 00:14:56,157
I know how dangerous
this is for Clark.
204
00:14:57,249 --> 00:14:59,605
We don't have a choice.
205
00:15:02,796 --> 00:15:05,311
Maybe we do. Just hear me out.
206
00:15:05,591 --> 00:15:08,106
When Eliot Ness couldn't
nab Capone for murder...
207
00:15:08,387 --> 00:15:11,778
the government sent him up the
river for getting sloppy with his taxes.
208
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:14,569
You and I know Lionel would
have spent a pretty penny...
209
00:15:14,852 --> 00:15:16,844
to hide the fact he's
from another world.
210
00:15:17,106 --> 00:15:18,506
What if he was just as sloppy?
211
00:15:18,733 --> 00:15:23,091
If we found a detail that he overlooked,
we could prove that he's a fake.
212
00:15:23,696 --> 00:15:26,450
And his entire house of
cards will come crashing down.
213
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,992
The cremated remains came
from one of the other clones.
214
00:15:39,299 --> 00:15:41,416
So my boy is alive.
215
00:15:41,719 --> 00:15:43,438
We've gotta find him.
216
00:15:43,721 --> 00:15:47,601
We convinced Dr. Lamell to tell us
that Mercer took him to Smallville.
217
00:15:47,934 --> 00:15:50,244
He's with Clark Kent.
218
00:15:50,646 --> 00:15:52,524
Not for long.
219
00:15:53,357 --> 00:15:57,749
It is time for my
prodigal son to return.
220
00:15:58,114 --> 00:15:59,468
Yeah.
221
00:16:14,050 --> 00:16:15,279
This is pointless.
222
00:16:15,509 --> 00:16:18,229
Everything we do with our
abilities is our responsibility.
223
00:16:18,513 --> 00:16:21,824
That's why we have to learn how to
control them before they control us.
224
00:16:22,143 --> 00:16:24,260
That's why we practice.
225
00:16:24,812 --> 00:16:26,769
I lifted the tractor
without any practice.
226
00:16:27,023 --> 00:16:29,777
When you put it down, you
broke the beam behind the stall.
227
00:16:30,152 --> 00:16:32,269
Who taught you how
to do all this stuff?
228
00:16:33,531 --> 00:16:36,251
My parents were there
every step of the way.
229
00:16:37,369 --> 00:16:38,723
My dad...
230
00:16:39,038 --> 00:16:41,792
he believed that all the
hard work he had me do...
231
00:16:42,083 --> 00:16:45,633
would teach me how to control
my abilities, teach me character.
232
00:16:52,427 --> 00:16:55,386
Conner, you may not have
parents, but you have me.
233
00:16:56,725 --> 00:16:58,637
I'll always be there for you.
234
00:17:03,359 --> 00:17:06,113
What do you say we take
another shot at your heat vision?
235
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,789
Just concentrate
and light the candle.
236
00:17:26,844 --> 00:17:28,881
You'll get it eventually.
237
00:17:37,650 --> 00:17:39,164
You know, we have a doorbell.
238
00:17:41,361 --> 00:17:43,001
I stopped by to see
how things were going.
239
00:17:43,155 --> 00:17:45,192
Looks like I should've
brought marshmallows.
240
00:17:45,658 --> 00:17:48,492
You know, he's getting
things faster than I did.
241
00:17:50,289 --> 00:17:53,805
If I didn't know better, that might
look like a glint of pride in your eyes.
242
00:17:59,927 --> 00:18:02,567
Unfortunately, Clark, I just
talked to my inside man...
243
00:18:02,888 --> 00:18:06,006
and Lionel knows that Conner's
here. So we need to move him.
244
00:18:06,307 --> 00:18:09,061
I'm gonna call Oliver and Chloe
in Star City, send him there.
245
00:18:09,395 --> 00:18:11,626
We have kept him in
the dark about who he is.
246
00:18:11,898 --> 00:18:15,938
Isn't it time to let Conner know the
truth about the other side of the family?
247
00:18:16,697 --> 00:18:17,892
Considering everything...
248
00:18:18,115 --> 00:18:21,472
I don't think it's a good idea he
knows half of his DNA came from Lex.
249
00:18:21,785 --> 00:18:24,698
We can never let him know
that half of him is Luthor.
250
00:18:39,598 --> 00:18:41,351
What did you find on Lionel?
251
00:18:41,602 --> 00:18:44,037
It seems Lionel 2.0 has
dotted every I, crossed every T.
252
00:18:44,312 --> 00:18:47,988
I mean, his resurrection is so ironclad,
he'd give Lazarus a run for his money.
253
00:18:48,316 --> 00:18:52,196
He's had government lackeys reissue
all official documents with his autograph.
254
00:18:52,531 --> 00:18:55,285
We know it seems like a dead
end but I'm having some G-men...
255
00:18:55,575 --> 00:18:57,965
turn over that rock and
see what's underneath.
256
00:18:58,246 --> 00:18:59,282
Over and out.
257
00:19:57,358 --> 00:19:59,156
Alexander?
258
00:20:04,117 --> 00:20:06,074
I know you're here.
259
00:20:07,287 --> 00:20:10,963
I've had people tracking you
since you left the Kent farm.
260
00:20:14,295 --> 00:20:15,524
Who are you?
261
00:20:16,089 --> 00:20:17,409
I'm your father.
262
00:20:23,181 --> 00:20:25,377
I'm sure you have questions.
263
00:20:27,477 --> 00:20:28,911
I'm here to answer them.
264
00:20:31,649 --> 00:20:34,687
Come, son, please.
Let me see you.
265
00:20:45,333 --> 00:20:48,326
Oh, Alexander.
266
00:20:48,628 --> 00:20:51,382
What have they done to you?
267
00:20:55,303 --> 00:20:57,135
It was in your files...
268
00:20:57,430 --> 00:21:00,548
what they'd done, but
I refused to believe it.
269
00:21:02,853 --> 00:21:05,732
There's a part of
you that's Clark Kent.
270
00:21:07,025 --> 00:21:09,585
There's a part of me
that's Lex Luthor too.
271
00:21:11,029 --> 00:21:13,225
I overheard Clark say it.
272
00:21:13,866 --> 00:21:15,095
- He lied to me.
- Yes.
273
00:21:17,037 --> 00:21:18,312
Because he's afraid of you.
274
00:21:19,540 --> 00:21:22,374
He doesn't want you to
be with your real family.
275
00:21:22,669 --> 00:21:24,149
You're a threat to him.
276
00:21:24,378 --> 00:21:25,812
Because of my powers.
277
00:21:26,048 --> 00:21:27,118
No.
278
00:21:27,341 --> 00:21:28,775
Because you're a Luthor.
279
00:21:30,053 --> 00:21:32,124
Lex Luthor created an empire.
280
00:21:34,016 --> 00:21:36,850
Clark Kent wants to
keep it away from you.
281
00:21:37,895 --> 00:21:40,649
You must embrace your future.
282
00:21:48,115 --> 00:21:49,344
It's time.
283
00:21:55,750 --> 00:21:56,750
Put the ring on.
284
00:21:57,251 --> 00:21:59,322
It's your birthright.
285
00:22:14,522 --> 00:22:16,320
Yes.
286
00:22:16,817 --> 00:22:19,696
Now the journey begins.
287
00:22:22,616 --> 00:22:25,006
Get your hands off me.
288
00:22:25,619 --> 00:22:27,929
Are you sure you
got it tight enough?
289
00:22:31,293 --> 00:22:32,409
Lois.
290
00:22:32,628 --> 00:22:33,778
What is she doing here?
291
00:22:34,046 --> 00:22:36,197
You wanted to know what
it means to be a Luthor?
292
00:22:36,465 --> 00:22:41,096
Lesson one, never let
anyone stand in your way.
293
00:22:42,556 --> 00:22:44,946
That's fine, thank you.
294
00:22:48,981 --> 00:22:52,053
What's with the slaughterhouse?
Trying to scare me into thinking...
295
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:54,272
I'll end up like a piece of meat?
- Heh. No.
296
00:22:54,570 --> 00:22:57,529
You're here because if you
scream, no one will hear you.
297
00:22:57,824 --> 00:23:01,659
You see, Clark Kent sends
his fiancée to do his dirty work.
298
00:23:02,996 --> 00:23:05,716
No. Clark doesn't know
I broke into your office.
299
00:23:06,001 --> 00:23:08,561
Because you realize if
he knew, I'd destroy him.
300
00:23:09,714 --> 00:23:11,706
You risked your life for him.
301
00:23:11,968 --> 00:23:13,641
Very noble.
302
00:23:13,887 --> 00:23:14,957
And very stupid.
303
00:23:16,096 --> 00:23:20,329
I've read a great deal
about you. I expected more.
304
00:23:20,685 --> 00:23:25,635
Well, I was raised to believe that you
risk everything to protect those you love.
305
00:23:26,025 --> 00:23:27,300
That's where we differ.
306
00:23:28,027 --> 00:23:32,658
Oh, I'd risk my own life,
but I'd kill to protect my son.
307
00:23:34,910 --> 00:23:37,903
No one will ever take
him away from me.
308
00:23:45,048 --> 00:23:47,404
You don't scare me.
309
00:23:47,718 --> 00:23:50,552
The Lionel I knew never
got blood on his hands.
310
00:23:51,346 --> 00:23:53,542
I'm not the Lionel you knew.
311
00:24:05,739 --> 00:24:07,776
- Thanks, Conner.
- Hope it wasn't too fast.
312
00:24:08,033 --> 00:24:11,470
Oh, I'll trade a little motion sickness
for a bullet in the bonnet any day.
313
00:24:11,789 --> 00:24:15,544
We need to call Clark and tell him
Don Luthor is going all Godfather on us.
314
00:24:15,875 --> 00:24:17,594
We don't need Clark.
315
00:24:18,212 --> 00:24:19,212
I'll take care of you.
316
00:24:20,548 --> 00:24:24,508
You know what? That's
sweet. But I'm freezing out here.
317
00:24:24,887 --> 00:24:26,844
We really need to...
318
00:24:27,932 --> 00:24:29,969
sound the alarms.
319
00:24:30,936 --> 00:24:32,006
Oh.
320
00:24:32,938 --> 00:24:34,418
Thanks.
321
00:24:34,691 --> 00:24:37,809
See? I'll get you
anything you want.
322
00:24:42,115 --> 00:24:43,913
Okay, I get it now.
323
00:24:44,202 --> 00:24:46,842
Your neon is flashing red-hot,
and I didn't see the sign.
324
00:24:47,122 --> 00:24:50,115
Hey, you! Officer,
stop her. She's a thief.
325
00:24:50,419 --> 00:24:52,138
Hey, don't move!
326
00:24:59,136 --> 00:25:01,332
Get in. I'll save you.
327
00:25:02,974 --> 00:25:05,011
- Conner, what are you...?
- Stop right there!
328
00:25:05,268 --> 00:25:06,418
Oh.
329
00:25:07,730 --> 00:25:09,289
Sorry.
330
00:25:17,825 --> 00:25:19,100
His first crush.
331
00:25:21,287 --> 00:25:24,963
It's good to know the Luthor
libido is still intact. Ha, ha.
332
00:25:25,293 --> 00:25:28,047
Great men, great
passion. Ha, ha.
333
00:25:28,338 --> 00:25:29,567
Let him enjoy himself.
334
00:25:29,797 --> 00:25:31,914
But she must not be allowed...
335
00:25:32,176 --> 00:25:35,965
to lead him to Clark Kent. And
that ring, he's got to wear that ring.
336
00:25:36,306 --> 00:25:39,743
The tracking device in it
will keep him on our radar.
337
00:25:43,856 --> 00:25:46,769
When Conner disappeared,
I knew you couldn't be far.
338
00:25:47,068 --> 00:25:51,620
So I searched every LuthorCorp
facility, and I found this.
339
00:25:52,910 --> 00:25:56,540
Oh, doesn't compare
to the value of rubies...
340
00:25:56,873 --> 00:25:59,786
but personally, I prefer
the red of kryptonite.
341
00:26:00,376 --> 00:26:02,607
You used it on
Conner, didn't you?
342
00:26:04,549 --> 00:26:07,109
- Unh.
- To turn him into something he's not.
343
00:26:07,384 --> 00:26:12,334
I was trying to unleash his dark side,
find out what my son is really made of.
344
00:26:12,850 --> 00:26:16,400
Red Kryptonite, if worn,
brings out the primal...
345
00:26:16,730 --> 00:26:18,926
uncensored core of
self. You're afraid of it.
346
00:26:19,189 --> 00:26:22,421
You won't go near it. You're scared
of what you might find inside you.
347
00:26:27,367 --> 00:26:30,121
I won't let you hurt
him like you did Lex.
348
00:26:34,584 --> 00:26:37,622
He was my closest friend. Lionel
Luthor's influence destroyed him.
349
00:26:38,631 --> 00:26:42,944
You destroyed Lex with
your secrets and lies.
350
00:26:43,469 --> 00:26:46,906
And those same lies
brought Conner to me.
351
00:26:47,224 --> 00:26:50,979
He heard you talking to Tess
about hiding the truth from him.
352
00:26:51,354 --> 00:26:52,868
He knows you betrayed him.
353
00:26:53,106 --> 00:26:54,665
That's why he ran to me.
354
00:26:57,487 --> 00:27:00,241
Then you poisoned
him with Red Kryptonite.
355
00:27:01,282 --> 00:27:03,638
The longer he's exposed,
the more unstable he becomes.
356
00:27:03,911 --> 00:27:06,142
He's a danger to himself
and everyone around him.
357
00:27:06,414 --> 00:27:10,567
No. That's gonna make it easier for
him to take everything away from you...
358
00:27:10,919 --> 00:27:13,070
including the
woman he's with now.
359
00:27:15,467 --> 00:27:16,696
Lois Lane.
360
00:27:26,814 --> 00:27:28,851
No one will find us here.
361
00:27:31,820 --> 00:27:33,732
I'll keep you safe.
362
00:27:35,532 --> 00:27:37,444
And I'll make you happy.
363
00:27:39,329 --> 00:27:42,845
Thanks. But I think you
have the wrong idea, Romeo.
364
00:27:43,167 --> 00:27:46,001
This Juliet is
already spoken for.
365
00:27:49,173 --> 00:27:51,085
If this isn't romantic enough...
366
00:27:51,343 --> 00:27:53,574
I'll speed us away to Paris...
367
00:27:53,846 --> 00:27:56,725
or somewhere where
Clark will never find us.
368
00:27:57,058 --> 00:28:01,974
Okay, let me make this perfectly
clear. You and I, not happening.
369
00:28:03,941 --> 00:28:06,092
I will not let you
go back to him.
370
00:28:55,837 --> 00:29:00,036
I'm sorry that I lost my temper.
371
00:29:00,843 --> 00:29:02,323
I promise you...
372
00:29:02,845 --> 00:29:04,802
we'll live here
happily ever after.
373
00:29:05,682 --> 00:29:07,639
We belong together.
374
00:29:08,727 --> 00:29:10,684
It's our destiny.
375
00:29:15,569 --> 00:29:16,844
You know what we should do?
376
00:29:18,781 --> 00:29:23,776
We should toast our future together.
But I didn't see any champagne.
377
00:29:24,161 --> 00:29:28,121
You should know it is bad luck to start
our lives together without a little bubbly.
378
00:29:31,004 --> 00:29:32,154
Be back in a few.
379
00:29:37,010 --> 00:29:39,844
I'll be waiting right here.
380
00:29:43,853 --> 00:29:47,324
There's a reason Lois Lane
is known for telling the truth.
381
00:29:52,779 --> 00:29:55,817
Because you're a terrible liar.
382
00:29:56,535 --> 00:29:59,255
Okay, Conner, something
strange is happening to you.
383
00:29:59,538 --> 00:30:02,292
You're not yourself.
It's the ring. It's the ring.
384
00:30:02,584 --> 00:30:04,621
I've never felt better.
385
00:30:05,461 --> 00:30:07,214
I'm at the top of my game.
386
00:30:07,464 --> 00:30:09,933
And it's all thanks to Clark.
387
00:30:11,094 --> 00:30:13,768
But he has one
thing I don't have.
388
00:30:14,472 --> 00:30:16,270
And that's you.
389
00:30:16,850 --> 00:30:18,887
But not anymore.
390
00:30:20,230 --> 00:30:23,109
You are nothing like Clark.
I've seen him on Red Kryptonite.
391
00:30:23,401 --> 00:30:26,917
It may bring out his inner angst a
little, but it doesn't turn him into this.
392
00:30:27,238 --> 00:30:30,276
This is the other side
of you. This is Lex.
393
00:30:30,784 --> 00:30:32,298
We need to make you better.
394
00:30:32,536 --> 00:30:35,096
I don't want to be better.
395
00:30:35,373 --> 00:30:36,523
I want you.
396
00:30:41,421 --> 00:30:43,697
I'll open up a world Clark
can't even imagine for you.
397
00:30:46,177 --> 00:30:48,453
Clark is my world.
398
00:30:49,056 --> 00:30:51,810
He's only the person you
think he is because he has you.
399
00:30:52,768 --> 00:30:55,363
And if I can't have
you, neither will he.
400
00:30:56,606 --> 00:30:59,565
Conner? Lois?
401
00:31:00,946 --> 00:31:02,380
Oh, God.
402
00:31:09,997 --> 00:31:11,511
Conner?
403
00:31:29,311 --> 00:31:31,667
You're not welcome here.
404
00:31:35,028 --> 00:31:36,348
Where's Lois?
405
00:31:36,947 --> 00:31:38,222
She's not yours anymore.
406
00:31:39,741 --> 00:31:43,496
The only reason that Lionel wants you
to wear that ring is so he can control you.
407
00:31:43,830 --> 00:31:45,708
- I can help.
- I don't want your help.
408
00:31:45,958 --> 00:31:47,278
Or your lies.
409
00:32:06,399 --> 00:32:09,073
I know you can't understand,
I'm trying to keep you safe.
410
00:32:09,652 --> 00:32:11,883
Safe from myself?
411
00:32:14,450 --> 00:32:15,930
Conner.
412
00:32:18,621 --> 00:32:20,977
This isn't who you
really are, Conner.
413
00:32:21,249 --> 00:32:22,729
You're wrong.
414
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,077
I'm nothing like you.
415
00:32:40,482 --> 00:32:42,997
I am a Luthor, and
this is where I belong.
416
00:32:43,276 --> 00:32:44,630
No, it's not.
417
00:32:44,861 --> 00:32:46,853
And you're coming home with me.
418
00:33:04,928 --> 00:33:06,157
Clark.
419
00:33:10,808 --> 00:33:13,039
Oh! What's happening?
420
00:33:14,271 --> 00:33:17,264
No. You'll never take my son.
421
00:33:26,536 --> 00:33:27,890
No.
422
00:33:30,123 --> 00:33:32,203
- What are you doing?
- Eliminating the one person...
423
00:33:32,417 --> 00:33:35,216
who stands in the
way of your destiny.
424
00:33:35,671 --> 00:33:36,946
Let him go.
425
00:33:38,634 --> 00:33:41,149
Let's go, son.
Remember who you are.
426
00:33:41,429 --> 00:33:44,501
You were meant to become a god.
Together, we can make sure you do.
427
00:33:54,195 --> 00:33:56,266
I know who I am.
428
00:34:15,720 --> 00:34:17,154
- Lionel.
- Don't worry about him.
429
00:34:17,389 --> 00:34:19,267
There's no place
for him to hide.
430
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,193
Let's go home.
431
00:34:47,967 --> 00:34:50,084
Enjoy the view one last time.
432
00:34:50,346 --> 00:34:53,896
Security's on their way up to
escort you out of the building.
433
00:34:55,726 --> 00:34:59,276
Now, if you're threatening me, you
need something more powerful than hot air.
434
00:34:59,606 --> 00:35:02,326
All the firepower I
need is right here...
435
00:35:02,818 --> 00:35:05,538
copies of all the documents
that bear your signature.
436
00:35:05,822 --> 00:35:08,053
No discrepancies.
Everything matches perfectly.
437
00:35:08,326 --> 00:35:10,602
My DNA, my handwriting...
438
00:35:10,869 --> 00:35:14,340
identical to the other Lionel.
439
00:35:14,666 --> 00:35:16,578
Why would you have
them secretly reissued?
440
00:35:18,045 --> 00:35:21,561
You may think you scrubbed evidence
of your true identity from this world...
441
00:35:22,884 --> 00:35:24,716
but you missed a spot.
442
00:35:24,970 --> 00:35:27,883
There was one document
that you were never aware of.
443
00:35:36,524 --> 00:35:38,436
When Lionel gave
you up for adoption.
444
00:35:43,242 --> 00:35:46,121
I wasn't the only thing that
he left at the orphanage.
445
00:35:46,411 --> 00:35:49,165
He left his fingerprints on a
document when he admitted me.
446
00:35:49,458 --> 00:35:52,018
And as you know, just like
our worlds, they're reversed.
447
00:35:53,462 --> 00:35:57,138
His fingerprints and yours
are mirror copies of each other.
448
00:35:59,469 --> 00:36:01,381
It proves that you are a fake.
449
00:36:05,352 --> 00:36:06,945
My lawyers are
drawing up papers...
450
00:36:07,187 --> 00:36:09,986
that relinquish your complete
control of LuthorCorp to me.
451
00:36:12,444 --> 00:36:14,276
Why would I do that?
452
00:36:15,655 --> 00:36:18,375
Because of that Scotch
that you're drinking.
453
00:36:19,284 --> 00:36:21,355
- What?
- It's laced with nano-trackers.
454
00:36:22,413 --> 00:36:25,485
They've burrowed deep into your stomach
lining and entered your bloodstream.
455
00:36:27,502 --> 00:36:30,381
From now on, I will
know your every move.
456
00:36:34,136 --> 00:36:38,688
And if you try to retaliate
against me or my friends...
457
00:36:39,434 --> 00:36:41,630
I will crush you.
458
00:36:47,109 --> 00:36:49,419
Why don't you have me killed?
459
00:36:50,697 --> 00:36:51,892
Because that's not who I am.
460
00:37:08,427 --> 00:37:12,262
You may want to change
yourself to impress Clark Kent...
461
00:37:12,599 --> 00:37:16,559
but we both know, don't we?
462
00:37:16,894 --> 00:37:18,931
Deep down...
463
00:37:19,398 --> 00:37:22,550
you'll always be a Luthor.
464
00:37:35,294 --> 00:37:36,887
Conner.
465
00:37:40,464 --> 00:37:42,023
The barn never looked better.
466
00:37:42,258 --> 00:37:46,571
Well, it was the least I could do to
make up for all the trouble I caused.
467
00:37:46,932 --> 00:37:48,252
It's not your fault.
468
00:37:48,475 --> 00:37:52,515
If I hadn't lied to you, you wouldn't have
run right into Lionel's hands. I'm sorry.
469
00:37:54,441 --> 00:37:56,910
But I shouldn't have been
so quick to trust Lionel.
470
00:37:58,403 --> 00:38:01,601
Conner, you can't beat
yourself up. You had no idea...
471
00:38:01,907 --> 00:38:05,378
that he would use Red Kryptonite
on you or how it would affect you.
472
00:38:08,750 --> 00:38:11,219
It's one of the drawbacks
of being like us.
473
00:38:11,503 --> 00:38:13,222
I'm not like you, Clark.
474
00:38:13,629 --> 00:38:16,428
I mean, maybe on the
outside with what I can do...
475
00:38:17,676 --> 00:38:20,987
but what that ring brought
out in me, that was all Lex.
476
00:38:22,849 --> 00:38:25,569
There's a shadow
inside of all of us.
477
00:38:26,437 --> 00:38:30,716
But that doesn't mean that you need
to embrace it. You decide who you are.
478
00:38:33,947 --> 00:38:37,418
I know you'll make the right choice,
become the hero you're destined to be.
479
00:38:38,450 --> 00:38:40,726
That means a lot
coming from you.
480
00:38:42,790 --> 00:38:44,588
Well, if you feel that way...
481
00:38:44,834 --> 00:38:48,430
maybe, uh, I should
start dressing the part.
482
00:38:53,803 --> 00:38:55,157
I know I have a lot to learn.
483
00:38:56,349 --> 00:39:00,138
But when you feel that
I'm ready to join the team...
484
00:39:00,478 --> 00:39:02,197
I'd like to.
485
00:39:04,273 --> 00:39:06,070
Nice to hear you're
ready to learn. I
486
00:39:06,082 --> 00:39:08,233
picked up an application
to Smallville High.
487
00:39:08,571 --> 00:39:10,403
Classes start
after spring break.
488
00:39:14,828 --> 00:39:15,978
"Conner Kent."
489
00:39:16,622 --> 00:39:20,332
Hope it's not too presumptuous,
but I figured you needed a last name.
490
00:39:21,795 --> 00:39:23,309
Welcome home.
491
00:39:25,758 --> 00:39:28,592
Guess I should start with
fixing that fence out back.
492
00:39:36,021 --> 00:39:40,618
It seems to me that Clark Kent's
nature and nurture won out in the end.
493
00:39:41,276 --> 00:39:44,826
I'm not sure how nurturing it
was not telling him the truth.
494
00:39:46,283 --> 00:39:47,797
If you throw a penance party...
495
00:39:48,035 --> 00:39:50,834
I'm gonna have to
unwrap my own mea culpa.
496
00:39:52,873 --> 00:39:55,672
I'm sorry that I didn't tell
you I was investigating Lionel.
497
00:39:55,961 --> 00:39:59,591
It put us both in danger, even
though I was trying to save you.
498
00:39:59,923 --> 00:40:01,880
It's hard to know
where to draw the line...
499
00:40:02,135 --> 00:40:04,286
when you're protecting
the people you love.
500
00:40:08,350 --> 00:40:11,468
You know, I have a newfound
respect for my mom and dad.
501
00:40:13,608 --> 00:40:17,204
I always knew that my powers
could cause harm if I misused them.
502
00:40:17,528 --> 00:40:21,158
But I never appreciated the responsibility
they must have felt in raising me.
503
00:40:23,452 --> 00:40:25,409
If they hadn't been
such amazing parents...
504
00:40:25,663 --> 00:40:27,859
this world could've been
a much darker place.
505
00:40:28,125 --> 00:40:30,560
Luckily, they brought
out the best in you.
506
00:40:32,629 --> 00:40:35,701
I'm sure when we
have kids of our own...
507
00:40:37,762 --> 00:40:39,242
you'll be an amazing father.
508
00:40:48,232 --> 00:40:49,985
Am I forgiven?
