Look at that.
The only thing holding that dress up is faith.
- 'Hey, come on.' - 'Someone's coming!'
- It's Lex! She's with him! - Great!
It's the paparazzi wolves trying to get a scent
of Lex's latest lady friend.
Not that I read the gossip columns or anything..
...but I hear they're quite an item.
Maybe I should warn her about him.
- Nah. - Who is she?
The trendy fashion designer, L.L.
L.L.? Lana Lang?
- Lana! - L.L., over here!
- No, here. - Give us a smile.
- 'What a couple.' - 'Lana, are the jewels real?'
Everything is real, boys.
- Lana. - Sorry, no more questions.
I am here to work, you know.
What's Lana doing with a guy like Luthor?
- You know her? - We...we used to date.
Get out.
In high school.
She's certainly come up in the world.
From Smallville, I mean.
- Lana! - Marco darling.
Save me some dessert. Mm.
'Mr. Luthor.'
Mr. Eelan. Make me happy.
The buyers are definitely interested in the merchandise
but they're insisting on a demonstration.
Fine. Arrange it.
Finished. You look fabulous.
Now go out there and wow the crowd.
'We like your dress.'
Uh, thank you.
And we'd like it now!
Hey! What do you think you're doing?
Put me down!
Lana?
Let me go, you fashion-disabled amazon!
Ah!
Keep your mouth shut, missy.
We got a room where you're gonna slip
into something less expensive.
- Look out! - Ah!
Maybe you ladies haven't heard about me.
Yeah, we heard.
You like to save people.
I imagine you hear this a lot, but thanks.
Hold on.
snap
Hmm, red, blue, yellow.
Primary, but it works in a superhero-ish kind of way.
Let me guess, Martha sewed it for you.
What?
By the way, Clark, how are the folks?
'Lana!'
Over here, men.
Lana, are you alright?
I'm fine, Lex, thanks to Superman.
You know, this is the first time
I've actually been happy that alien showed up.
Me too.
I still don't see how you knew.
Oh, come on, Clark.
Just because I'm gorgeous
doesn't mean I'm stupid.
I saw you do all those amazing things back in high school
then Superman shows up in Metropolis
the same time as you do.
How do you know when I showed up in Metropolis?
I've been keeping track.
Root beer float?
See? I didn't forget.
Lana, I've come to warn you.
About Lex. I know. Everyone has.
Powerful men get those kinds of reputations.
And I like powerful men.
Lana, this is no joke.
That man Luthor was speaking with tonight
he's a known arms dealer
responsible for the deaths of thousands of people.
And you think Lex is buying weapons through him?
No. Selling.
I think Luthor's got a stockpile somewhere he's trying to unload.
Well, you're wrong. Besides, I know how to handle Lex.
I know how to handle most men, in fact.
It's only Clark Kent I've ever had any trouble pinning down.
For me, Lana... just be careful.
For you, Clark, anything.
whoosh
I just want to know what Superman was doing
in your apartment last night.
And I wanna know what business you have spying on me.
Are you jealous?
Let's just say I'm curious.
He wanted to be sure I was alright.
And to warn me about you. He said you were a bad boy.
And what did you say?
I said I liked bad boys.
'Your 11:30's here, Mr. Luthor.'
Show him in. Business.
'Well?'
'The merchandise is ready to ship.'
'As soon as the client agrees to the terms'
'the deal will go through.'
'I've arranged for a demonstration.'
I think they'll be impressed.
- Where? - 'Down by the old Carter Mill.'
'1 o'clock.'
I'm telling you, she heard everything.
Maybe I should take her for a nice little ride.
- No! - But she was listening.
Of course, she was listening.
A woman like that is going to be curious about things
especially me.
Anyway, what does it matter?
She couldn't possibly have understood what it meant.
- 'Hello?' - Clark, it's Lana.
You were right. And the deal's going down today.
The rifle shoots a microwave beam
exciting electrons to their highest state.
pew pew
- Nothing's happening. - Wait.
I'm gonna like this gun.
pew pew
thud
I think it's deer season.
pew
Sorry. It's only open season on terrorists.
pew pew pew
thud thud thud
Uh!
I should warn you, it's been done.
pew
boom
clang clang
screech
clang clang
'The terrorists are keeping their mouths shut.'
But those weapons had Luthor written all over them.
I just wish I knew where he was keeping them stockpiled.
Don't forget, you still have me.
Oh, no, I don't. It's too dangerous.
Mmm, but we make such a perfect team.
No.
I could be your trusty sidekick
your Dr. Watson, your Batgirl.
Definitely no.
I, I still have feelings for you, Clark.
I knew it the minute I saw you again.
Don't pretend you didn't feel something too.
Let me prove to you how good we could be together.
Lana, I don't..
Mmm..
I've seen enough.
I'm glad you could finally make time for me, Lana.
I was beginning to think you were trying to avoid me.
You're not getting rid of me, Lex Luthor.
I'm sticking to you like glue.
Then I'll see you tonight for dinner.
Mercy will pick you up at 7:00.
It's Eelan.
- Yes? - 'There's a problem.'
I don't care! I want you in Central City waiting!
The client expects the shipment to be ready tonight!
And there'd better not be
any surprise visitors this time.
- Hello? - 'Clark.'
I've been trying to reach you all day.
Listen, the reason you haven't been able to find
the merchandise in Metropolis is
it isn't in Metropolis.
'It's in Central City.'
'Our friend has a factory there.'
- How do you know this? - 'I overheard him.'
Oh, Clark, this is how it could be forever.
Me ferreting out crooks, you catching them.
Lana, I told you I didn't want you spying on Lex anymore.
'I wasn't spying. I was sitting right next to him.'
Lana..
That must be the limo. Gotta run.
Remember, Central City is 500 miles away.
'I suggest you schedule a flight.'
Lana, wait.
Sorry, I'm late.
- Where's Mercy? - Sorry, no mercy tonight.
Just heard from Eelan.
Should I cancel your dinner reservations?
Get out.
Get out!
'Unh! Let me go, you maniac!'
Help! Help!
That won't do you any good, Ms. Lang. Nobody's here.
The factory is fully automated because of the lead fumes.
'In fact, there's so much lead residue on the walls'
I doubt Superman can see through them
even if he weren't in Central City.
crash
You're right, Eelan.
I couldn't see you,
but my hearing's pretty good.
hiss
snap snap
What are you doing here?
I thought you'd be in Central City.
You overheard too much. It was too easy.
I knew Central City had to be a setup, so I followed you.
zap
Hurry. You'll be safe in here.
He calls this safe?
pew
boom
rumble
crash
Yes!
pew pew
Ah!
crash
thud thud
Ah!
Ah! Uh!
Help! Help!
Ah!
Clark! Clark!
You're a mess.
crash
Lana! Going somewhere?
Only to Paris for the unveiling of the spring line.
I think my strengths are in fashion, not crime-fighting.
Lana, you know I really care about you. You're like--
Clark Kent, I swear if you say I'm like
a sister to you, I'm going back to Lex.
Sorry. But I know you'll find that special person someday.
So will you. You deserve it.
Someone quiet, understanding, patient.
Hey, Smallville. Get your tail in here.
Perry's got an assignment for us.
Remember, if you ever change your mind about me
feel free to fly on up any time.
Kent!
Coming.
