JUSTIN.
I JUST THOUGHT I'D STOP BY AND SAY GOODBYE.
I HEARD YOU WERE GOING BACK TO SMALLVILLE TOMORROW.
YEAH, SMALLVILLE.
HOW'S IT GOING?
YOU TELL ME.
YOU'VE BEEN HERE FIVE MONTHS.
YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY.
YOUR BODY HAS DONE A LOT OF HEALING.
EXCEPT FOR MY HANDS.
THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO GET BETTER,
AND THAT MEANS I'll NEVER DRAW AGAIN,
AND THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT I WAS EVER GOOD AT.
YOU SUFFERED SEVERE NERVE DAMAGE.
IT'S LUCKY THAT YOU HAVE ANY MOVEMENT IN YOUR HANDS AT ALL.
I DID EVERYTHING I COULD. YOU KNOW THAT.
REALLY? IS THAT WHAT YOU TOLD THE FIVE PATIENTS
WHO FILED MALPRACTICE SUITS AGAINST YOU?
NOW, I CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR STILL BEING ANGRY,
BUT BLAMING ME ISN'T GOING TO CHANGE YOUR CONDITION.
YOU WERE IN AN ACCIDENT, AND YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT.
I WAS IN A HIT-AND-RUN.
YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE,
I WANTED TO BE A VIOLINIST,
SO I APPLIED TO THE CONSERVATORY BUT I FAILED THE AUDITION.
THE INSTRUCTOR TOLD ME THAT I HAD THE HANDS OF A SURGEON,
AND THAT'S WHY I MOVED INTO MEDICINE.
AS ONE DOOR CLOSES, ANOTHER ONE OPENS.
YOU'RE YOUNG.
YOU'LL FIND SOMETHING NEW.
GOODBYE, JUSTIN.
HAVE A NICE LIFE, DR. WELLS.
RENEE, HONEY, I'M SORRY.
ANOTHER UNGRATEFUL PATIENT?
AREN'T THEY ALL?
SO YOU THINK THEY'LL SUE?
HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY PROOF.
HE'S ALIVE. HE SHOULD BE THANKING ME.
[ METAL CLANKING ]
WHAT'S GOING ON?
AAH!
ARE YOU OKAY?
GET US OUT OF HERE! HURRY UP!
COME ON!
COME ON, JUST GET US OUT OF HERE NOW!
GET US OUT OF HERE NOW! HURRY UP!
COME ON!
HELP!
HELP US!
THAT'S IT.
GIVE ME A HAND UP.
OKAY, GRAB MY HANDS.
[ SCREAMING ]
♫ SOMEBODY SAVE ME ♫
♫ LET YOUR WARM HANDS BREAK RIGHT THROUGH ♫
♫ SOMEBODY SAVE ME ♫
♫ I DON'T CARE HOW YOU DO IT ♫
♫ JUST STAY ♫
♫ STAY WITH ME ♫
♫ STAY ♫
♫ COME ON ♫
♫ I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU ♫
♫ JUST STAY WITH ME ♫
♫ I'VE MADE THIS WHOLE WORLD SHINE FOR YOU ♫
♫ JUST STAY ♫
♫ STAY ♫
♫ COME ON ♫
I SEE YOU IN A UNIFORM, FLYING.
HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED A CAREER IN THE AIR FORCE?
UM, I'll THINK ABOUT IT.
WHAT ARE YOU SMILING ABOUT?
I JUST LANDED A SUMMER JOB AT MAYOR SIEGEL'S OFFICE
WORKING ON HIS RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO HELP YOUR MOM OUT
DOWN AT THE COURTHOUSE.
JUDGE ROSS CAN GET SOME KSU STUDENT
TO SCHLEP HER FILES. BESIDES, WHO WANTS TO HANG OUT
WITH THEIR PARENTS ALL SUMMER LONG?
YEAH. SORRY, CLARK.
DID YOU KNOW THAT'S KWAN'S SON DOWN AT THE AIR FORCE BASE?
GROWING UP WITH KWAN,
THE AIR FORCE MUST SEEM LIKE CLUB MED.
WOW, YOU LOOK NICE.
THANKS. I WAS KIND OF GOING FOR PROFESSIONAL.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE DAILY PLANET ONLY TAKES
FOUR HIGH SCHOOL INTERNS FROM THE WHOLE STATE?
AH, YOU'RE A SHOO-IN, CHLOE.
TELL HIM THAT. HE SAID THEY RECEIVED OVER 500 APPLICANTS LAST YEAR.
I DOUBT I'll EVEN GET AN INTERVIEW.
WELL, THERE'S ALWAYS THE INQUISITOR.
DIDN'T LEX OFFER TO HOOK YOU UP?
NO. I'M INTERNING AT THE PLANET.
I DON'T CARE IF IT'S DELIVERING COFFEE
TO THE CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST TRY AGAIN NEXT SATURDAY
WHEN YOU'RE IN METROPOLIS?
WHY ARE YOU GOING TO METROPOLIS?
WE'RE GOING TO METROPOLIS, CLARK.
THE STUDENT JOURNALISM CONFERENCE?
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO SIGN US UP,
AND I KNOW YOU DIDN'T FORGET BECAUSE NOW IT'S TOO LATE TO GET IN.
I'M REALLY SORRY. I'VE BEEN AT THE TALON ALL WEEK WITH LANA
WORKING ON A HISTORY PROJECT.
SO, NATURALLY, EVERYTHING ELSE BECOMES LESS IMPORTANT.
WELL, THAT'S NOT TRUE.
CLARK, HOW MUCH TIME HAVE WE SPENT TOGETHER
IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS?
WE SEE EACH OTHER EVERY DAY.
IT WAS 45 MINUTES WHEN MY CAR HAPPENED TO BREAK DOWN
OUTSIDE THE TALON, AND YOU GAVE ME A RIDE HOME.
I PRACTICALLY HAD TO TEAR YOU AWAY FROM LANA.
DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING JUST A LITTLE UNFAIR?
NO, WHENEVER LEX AND LANA ARE AROUND,
IT'S LIKE THE REST OF US DON'T EXIST.
WAIT, CHLOE, WHY ARE YOU BEING SO HYPERSENSITIVE?
YOU KNOW, MOST MEN ARE FROM MARS, CLARK,
BUT YOU'RE FROM SOME DISTANT GALAXY
THAT I'VE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF.
LOOK, I KNOW I SCREWED UP,
BUT WHY IS CHLOE HAVING A BREAKDOWN?
YOU'RE NOT THE MOST OBSERVANT PERSON IN THE WORLD, ARE YOU?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
SHE WANTS TO SPEND THE DAY WITH YOU, UNINTERRUPTED...
NO LANA AND NO LEX.
SHE'S PLANNING ON ASKING YOU TO THE SPRING FORMAL.
YEAH, BUT THAT WOULD BE LIKE... A DATE?
CLARK, MAYBE IF YOU TOOK OFF YOUR LANA BLINDERS,
YOU'D REALIZE THAT CHLOE LIKES YOU.
CLARK, I'M NOT INTERESTED IN AN APOLOGY.
WELL, NOT THE WELCOME I WAS EXPECTING, BUT HI.
HEY, HOW ARE YOU? IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!
WHEN DID YOU GET BACK?
YESTERDAY. LISTEN, I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU, BY THE WAY,
FOR SENDING ALL THOSE E-MAILS.
THEY REALLY GOT ME THROUGH A TOUGH TIME.
WELL, I'M SURE THAT LOTS OF PEOPLE KEPT IN TOUCH.
WELL, YOU'D BE SURPRISED. FOR MOST OF MY FRIENDS,
IT WAS OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND.
I KNOW THE FEELING.
SO, WHEN CAN YOU START DRAWING YOUR CARTOON AGAIN?
EVERYBODY'S BEEN WAITING FOR THE FURTHER ADVENTURES
OF THE "FLAMING CROWS FEET."
UNFORTUNATELY, MY DRAWING HAND IS KIND OF SHOT.
OH, I'M SORRY.
THAT'S OKAY.
I'M IN THE PROCESS
OF REEVALUATING MY LIFE.
SO, LISTEN, IS THERE ANY CHANCE THAT MAYBE
I COULD BUY YOU A CUP OF COFFEE
OR ONE OF THOSE NON-FAT, NO-FOAM LATTES THAT YOU LIKE?
YEAH.
WHY NOT? UM, I'M IN THE PROCESS
OF REEVALUATING MY LIFE, TOO.
LET'S GO.
ALL RIGHT. GOOD.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I'M HERE FOR THE SAME REASON YOU ARE...
THE ANNIVERSARY OF HER DEATH.
IT'S BEEN NINE YEARS.
WHY THIS SUDDEN BURST OF SENTIMENTALITY?
I DESERVED THAT. JUST DISAPPEARING FROM YOUR LIFE...
I'M SURE ALL THAT LUTHERCORP STOCK MY MOTHER LEFT YOU
HELPED EASE THE PAIN.
IS THAT WHAT YOUR FATHER TOLD YOU?
ALL THOSE YEARS, I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME.
BUT YOU WERE JUST IN IT FOR THE MONEY.
I KNOW YOU'RE ANGRY WITH ME,
AND YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE,
BUT WE NEED TO TALK.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE'S ANYTHING YOU'D SAY
THAT WOULD INTEREST ME.
GOODBYE, PAM.
Chloe: THIS ONE'S DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE STRIP.
REALLY? [ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
HEY, GUYS.
HEY. YOU KNOW JUSTIN.
YEAH, OF COURSE. WELCOME BACK.
HOW YOU FEELING?
OH, UM, JUST KIND OF TAKING IT ONE DAY AT A TIME.
DID THEY EVER FIND THE DRIVER WHO HIT YOU?
NO. NO, I COULDN'T REALLY GIVE THE POLICE THAT MUCH.
I DIDN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING FOR A LONG TIME.
WELL, WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER?
A LITTLE BIT OF THE LICENSE PLATE... "DDI."
WELL, WE SHOULD LOOK INTO IT.
YOU SHOULD CALL THE POLICE.
IF WE FIND SOMETHING, WE'LL PASS IT ON.
OKAY.
ANYWAY, I TALKED TO LEX.
HE SCORED US TWO TICKETS TO THE CONFERENCE.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, CLARK. JUSTIN'S ALREADY SIGNED UP,
SO I'M GOING AS HIS GUEST.
YEAH, OR WE COULD ALL GO TOGETHER.
NO. UM, CLARK'S NOT THAT INTERESTED IN JOURNALISM, ANYWAY.
RIGHT, OKAY. UH, I SHOULD PROBABLY GET GOING.
LISTEN...
THANK YOU.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
HI.
HEY, CLARK. IS YOUR MOM AROUND?
I WANTED TO ORDER SOME MORE OF HER PIES.
SHE'S AT CLASS. I CAN HELP YOU.
I DIDN'T EXPECT TO SEE YOU HERE.
I THOUGHT YOU'D BE HELPING CHLOE PROOF THE LATEST EDITION.
SHE HAD ENOUGH HELP.
ARE YOU TWO STILL FIGHTING?
WHO SAID WE WERE FIGHTING?
I KIND OF CAUGHT IT YESTERDAY AT THE CAREER FAIR.
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU TWO?
CHLOE LIKES ME.
SO, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT HER?
LIKE MAYBE WE COULD BE MORE THAN FRIENDS.
WHEN I SAW HER WITH JUSTIN TODAY, I GOT KIND OF...
JEALOUS?
IT'S, LIKE, YOU FIND OUT THIS SECRET,
AND IT COLORS EVERYTHING.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE I NEVER SAW IT BEFORE.
SOMETIMES THE RIGHT PERSON CAN BE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES
AND YOU NEVER EVEN KNOW IT.
UH, SO, HOW MANY PIES DID YOU WANT?
A DOZEN.
HOW'S WHITNEY? I HEAR HIS DAD'S FEELING BETTER.
HE'S GREAT.
ARE YOU OKAY?
NEVER BETTER.
GOOD LUCK. I HOPE THINGS WORK OUT WITH CHLOE.
ME TOO.
BYE.
DAMN IT.
PETE.
HEY.
HEY, HAVE YOU SEEN CHLOE?
NOT SINCE ENGLISH.
SHE'S PROBABLY HANGING OUT WITH JUSTIN.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT GUY?
HE SEEMS PRETTY COOL.
I NEVER GOT TO KNOW HIM THAT WELL BEFORE.
HE WAS ALWAYS BURIED IN HIS SKETCH PAD.
CHLOE SEEMS TO LIKE HIM.
CAREFUL, CLARK. YOU ALMOST SOUND A LITTLE JEALOUS.
I'M NOT JEALOUS. I'M CONCERNED.
WHY, BECAUSE CHLOE'S FALLING FOR A NICE GUY?
IT'S GOT ME WORRIED, TOO.
LOOK. JUSTIN HAD IT IN HIS PORTFOLIO YESTERDAY.
"GOING DOWN!
DOCTOR LOSES HANDS IN FREAK ACCIDENT."
SO?
THAT WAS JUSTIN'S DOCTOR.
DON'T YOU THINK IT'S A LITTLE WEIRD
HE'S CARRYING THAT AROUND WITH HIM?
I LIKED THE TRAGIC IRONY.
YOU ALWAYS TALK ABOUT PEOPLE BEHIND THEIR BACKS, CLARK?
LOOK, JUSTIN, I DIDN'T MEAN... YES, YOU DID.
SO I START SPENDING TIME WITH CHLOE,
SUDDENLY YOU REALIZE SHE EXISTS AND WANT ME OUT OF THE PICTURE?
CHLOE AND I ARE JUST FRIENDS.
YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE WITH HER. NOW YOU LET ME HAVE MINE.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I WANTED TO SEE WHAT KIND OF YOUNG MAN YOU'D GROWN INTO.
A VERY BUSY ONE.
SO IF THERE'S NOTHING ELSE...
WE WERE CLOSE ONCE, ALEXANDER.
YOU WERE LIKE A SON TO ME.
YOU WERE AN EMPLOYEE, MRS. JENKINS.
YOU WERE PAID TO WATCH ME WHILE MY MOTHER'S HEALTH FAILED
AND MY FATHER CRISSCROSSED THE GLOBE ON BUSINESS.
I LOVED YOU LIKE MY OWN.
AFTER THE METEOR SHOWER, I WAS THE ONE PERSON
WHO NEVER LOOKED AT YOU DIFFERENTLY.
JUST BECAUSE YOU KNEW ME
AT A VULNERABLE POINT IN MY LIFE
DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO WALTZ BACK IN HERE
A DECADE LATER.
THINGS HAVE CHANGED. I'VE CHANGED.
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
I WANT YOU TO KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.
YOU LIED TO MY MOTHER ON HER DEATHBED.
NO, I DIDN'T.
I HAD EVERY INTENTION OF STAYING,
BUT YOUR FATHER SENT ME AWAY.
AFTER THE FUNERAL, HE CALLED ME INTO HIS OFFICE,
AND HE TOLD ME IF I EVER HAD CONTACT WITH YOU AGAIN,
THAT HE WOULD DISINHERIT YOU.
WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?
BECAUSE HE WANTED YOU TO BE HIS SON, NOT HERS.
SO, WHY SHOW UP NOW?
HAS THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ON MY FATHER'S THREAT EXPIRED?
I NEEDED TO SEE IF YOU HAD FOUND A WAY
TO BE TRUE TO YOURSELF IN SPITE OF LIONEL'S EFFORTS.
AND TO BE HONEST, I...
I WANTED YOUR FORGIVENESS.
I'M AFRAID YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND A WAY
TO GRANT IT TO YOURSELF.
GOODBYE, ALEXANDER.
I WISH EVERYTHING SOLD AS WELL
AS YOUR MOM'S ORGANIC APPLE PIES.
EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS.
HEY, CLARK.
HEY, WHITNEY. HOW'S YOUR DAD?
ON THE MEND, HAPPY TO BE HOME.
HEY, KEEP SATURDAY NIGHT FREE.
I'VE GOT TWO TICKETS TO "OUR TOWN"
AT THE METROPOLIS PLAYHOUSE.
WOW. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO DO THAT?
I SAW YOU READING IT AT SCHOOL.
THOUGHT WE MIGHT START MAKING UP FOR SOME LOST TIME.
SEE YA.
BYE.
WHITNEY HAS PAID MORE ATTENTION TO ME IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS
THAN HE HAS ALL YEAR.
HAVE YOU TALKED TO HIM ABOUT IT?
WELL, HE SEEMS SO HAPPY EVER SINCE HIS DAD GOT BETTER.
HE WANTS TO PICK UP THINGS WHERE WE LEFT OFF.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?
AFTER MR. FORDMAN GOT SICK, WHITNEY NEEDED ME.
IT KIND OF DEFINED OUR RELATIONSHIP.
NOW I NEED TO REDEFINE IT.
THERE'S A LOT OF THAT GOING ON.
HOW ARE THINGS WITH CHLOE?
UNRESOLVED.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
I DON'T KNOW.
JUST DON'T WANT TO LOSE A FRIEND IN THE PROCESS.
ONCE YOU'VE CROSSED THAT LINE, YOU CAN'T GO BACK.
CHLOE GAVE ME THAT SAME ADVICE ABOUT... SOMEONE ELSE.
WHAT HAPPENED?
I DECIDED TO STAY FRIENDS.
DO YOU REGRET THAT DECISION?
YEAH. I LET THAT MOMENT SLIP AWAY,
AND I DON'T THINK I'll EVER GET IT BACK.
I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THAT SAME MISTAKE TWICE.
[ TYPING ON KEYBOARD ]
HEY. I JUST E-MAILED THE PARTIAL LICENSE PLATE DETAILS
OF YOUR HIT-AND-RUN TO MY CONTACT OVER AT THE DMV.
I TOLD HIM TO START WITH ALL THE CARS IN THE COUNTY.
HE SAID THAT HE WOULD FAX ME WHATEVER INFORMATION HE FOUND.
WOW.
[ CHUCKLES ]
WELL, HERE, IT TOOK ME ALL NIGHT.
OH, WOW.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
WELL, SO ARE YOU.
[ CHUCKLES ]
DID YOU KNOW THAT AFTER THAT CAR HIT ME
AND I WAS LYING IN THE ROAD,
I KEPT PICTURING YOUR FACE.
ME? WHY ME?
BECAUSE I ALWAYS HAD THE BIGGEST CRUSH ON YOU,
AND I WAS TOO AFRAID TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
NOW, HERE I AM ABOUT TO DIE,
AND I'M NEVER GOING TO GET THE CHANCE
TO TELL HER HOW I FEEL.
BUT WHEN YOU STARTED E-MAILING ME
WHEN I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL,
I KNEW THAT THIS WAS MY CHANCE.
I WASN'T GOING TO LET YOU GET AWAY TWICE.
I FOUND MY WAY BACK FOR YOU.
♫ EVERY TIME I HAVE DESIRED ♫
♫ HEAVEN GOES A LITTLE FARTHER ASTRAY ♫
♫ LET'S TOSS OUR CARES ONE BY ONE INTO THE FIRE ♫
♫ AND WATCH THE FLAMES KISS THE MILKY WAY ♫
WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
CAN YOU KEEP AN OPEN MIND?
SURE.
SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME AFTER THE ACCIDENT.
AND WHEN I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL,
I FOUND THAT I CAN MOVE THINGS...
WITH MY MIND.
LIKE TELEKINESIS?
AM I FREAKING YOU OUT?
[ SCOFFS ]
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I HAVE SEEN STRANGER THINGS.
'CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO END UP ON YOUR WALL.
DON'T WORRY. YOU WON'T.
NOW LET'S MAKE EVERYTHING FLOAT AGAIN.
HEY, CHLOE, CAN I...
CAN I TALK TO YOU OUTSIDE FOR A SECOND?
YEAH, SURE, CLARK. I'll BE RIGHT BACK.
Justin: OKAY.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
[ BEEPING ]
DON'T YOU THINK THIS JUSTIN THING IS MOVING
A LITTLE TOO FAST?
WE'VE BEEN E-MAILING BACK AND FORTH FOR SIX MONTHS.
I KNOW HIM BETTER THAN I KNOW YOU.
DID HE TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS DOCTOR?
NO.
BUT HE DID TELL ME THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT HIM
BEHIND HIS BACK.
I WAS JUST LOOKING OUT FOR YOU, CHLOE.
WHAT'S WITH YOU, CLARK?
DO YOU HAVE SOME SORT OF A SAVIOR COMPLEX?
IF I'M IN TROUBLE, YOU'LL RESCUE ME,
BUT OTHER THAN THAT, YOU REMAIN EMOTIONALLY UNAVAILABLE.
I JUST DON'T WANT YOU GETTING INVOLVED WITH JUSTIN
BECAUSE YOU'RE MAD AT ME.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, CLARK,
MY WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU.
WHY CAN'T YOU JUST ACCEPT THE FACT
THAT I FOUND SOMEONE SPECIAL, AND, UNLIKE YOU,
I'M WILLING TO TAKE A CHANCE.
[ BELL RINGS ]
JUST TELL ME ONE THING...
WAS IT EASY TO LIE TO EVERYBODY?
JUSTIN? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
RELIVING OLD MEMORIES.
I THINK YOU SHOULD GO HOME.
YOU KNOW, I WAS ONLY HALFWAY ACROSS THE CROSSWALK
WHEN YOUR CAR CAME BARRELING AROUND THE CORNER.
IT HIT ME SO HARD IT FELT LIKE I'D BEEN BROKEN IN HALF.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
NO?
'CAUSE I REMEMBER LYING IN THE STREET,
THE BLOOD DRIPPING INTO MY EYES,
WATCHING YOUR TAILLIGHTS DISAPPEAR.
YOU DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO STOP.
IT WASN'T ME.
AAH! AAH!
IT STARTED IN THE HOSPITAL,
MAYBE AS A WAY TO COMPENSATE FOR THE MOTOR SKILLS
THAT I HAD LOST IN MY HANDS.
I WAS IMMOBILIZED IN A TOTAL BODY CAST,
AND THEN I FOUND I CAN MOVE THINGS JUST BY THINKING.
BUT THAT DIDN'T REPLACE WHAT I'D LOST...
BECAUSE NOTHING COULD EVER DO THAT.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER, REVS ]
JUSTIN, STOP IT!
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE HIT
BY A 2,000-POUND CAR?
[ ENGINE REVVING ]
AAH!
[ FOOTSTEPS ]
HEY, LEX, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE SO LATE?
I CAME TO TALK TO YOUR PARENTS ABOUT THE SETTLEMENT.
WHAT ARE YOU READING?
"MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS"?
I'M TRYING TO GET AN INSIGHT INTO THE FEMALE PSYCHE.
I SERIOUSLY DOUBT YOU'LL FIND IT IN HERE.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
I'VE GOT THESE TWO AMAZING FRIENDS
WHO BOTH HAPPEN TO BE GIRLS.
FOR ARGUMENT'S SAKE, LET'S CALL THEM LANA AND CHLOE.
I'VE ALWAYS LIKED LANA, BUT I COULD NEVER GET NEAR HER.
I JUST FOUND OUT THAT CHLOE LIKES ME.
I THINK I MAY HAVE FEELINGS FOR HER, TOO.
SO, WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT TO PURSUE?
THAT'S THE THING. I WANT TO PROTECT MY FRIENDSHIP WITH BOTH.
THEN YOU'LL NEVER GET EITHER ONE.
THANKS.
I THINK I'll STICK WITH THE BOOK.
CLARK, LOVE ISN'T ABOUT PLAYING IT SAFE,
IT'S ABOUT RISKS.
UNLESS YOU'RE WILLING TO PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE,
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE?
I'VE ONLY LOVED TWO WOMEN IN MY LIFE.
ONE DIED, AND THE OTHER BETRAYED ME.
I'M SORRY.
SOME PEOPLE ARE MEANT TO BE ALONE.
MOM?
WHAT IS IT?
IT'S PRINCIPAL KWAN.
HE WAS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT.
HEY, GUYS. HOW ARE YOU HOLDING UP?
STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED.
I'M PUTTING TOGETHER A MEMORIAL ISSUE.
OF COURSE, WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING FOR PICTURES OF SOMEONE,
YOU CAN NEVER FIND THEM. UM, PETE, CAN YOU CHECK
THE LIBRARY FILES AGAIN, ONE MORE TIME?
SURE. THANK YOU.
NO PROBLEM.
I GOT KWAN'S POLICE REPORT.
APPARENTLY, HIS CAR WAS STILL ON.
IT MUST'VE JUST SLIPPED INTO GEAR.
CHLOE, YOU OKAY?
YEAH, I'M FINE.
I JUST CAN'T FIND ANYTHING IN THIS OFFICE.
LET ME HELP. NO, THANK YOU.
CHLOE, LOOK AT THIS.
THE FIRST THREE NUMBERS OF KWAN'S LICENSE PLATE
MATCH JUSTIN'S HIT-AND-RUN DRIVER.
WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT, CLARK?
WELL, I'M SAYING THERE ARE A LOT OF WEIRD ACCIDENTS
THAT HAPPEN AROUND THIS GUY.
CLARK, YOU ARE SERIOUSLY BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE HERE.
DID YOU GET A RESPONSE FROM THE DMV YESTERDAY?
NO. IT NEVER CAME THROUGH.
YES, YOU DID. 4:43, YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
THAT'S RIGHT AROUND THE TIME YOU WERE HERE WITH JUSTIN.
HE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT. WHY, BECAUSE YOU LIKE HIM?
NO, BECAUSE I KNOW HIM, AND I KNOW HE WOULDN'T HURT ANYONE.
I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.
"I CELEBRATE MYSELF,
AND WHAT I ASSUME, YOU SHALL ASSUME."
"FOR EVERY ATOM BELONGING TO ME
AS GOOD BELONGS TO YOU."
[ CHUCKLES ]
SOUNDS LIKE A DESCRIPTION OF FAMILY, DOESN'T IT?
NOT OURS. SINCE WHEN DO YOU READ POETRY?
WE'RE SELLING CADMUS LABS, LEX.
OUR DEAL MEMO GIVES ME 50% OWNERSHIP WITH VETO RIGHTS.
I DON'T RECALL YOU ASKING MY OPINION.
WE ONLY BOUGHT CADMUS TO BANKRUPT SIR HARRY.
AFTER WE PUMPED AND DUMPED THE STOCK,
THE COMPANY'S WORTHLESS.
IT SERVED ITS PURPOSE.
YOU DIDN'T COME ALL THIS WAY TO TALK ABOUT CADMUS.
I UNDERSTAND PAMELA IS BACK IN THE STATES
AND THAT SHE PAID YOU A VISIT.
DID YOU COME TO DISINHERIT ME?
IS THAT WHAT SHE TOLD YOU?
IS IT TRUE?
YOUR MOTHER WAS, UH, SHE WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY WOMAN,
BUT HER TASTE IN HELP LEFT A LOT TO BE DESIRED.
PAMELA WAS A HANGER-ON.
SHE CONVINCED YOUR MOTHER TO LEAVE HER ALL THAT STOCK,
AND THEN SHE DISAPPEARED BEFORE THE BODY WAS EVEN COLD.
YOU TOOK TIME OUT OF YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE TO TELL ME THAT?
I KNOW HOW MUCH SHE MEANT TO YOU,
AND I DON'T WANT HER USING EMOTIONAL TYRANNY
TO HIT YOU UP FOR MONEY.
WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT? SHE'S GOT PLENTY OF STOCK.
PROBABLY, SHE DOESN'T WANT TO SELL IT
TO PAY HER MEDICAL BILLS.
WHAT MEDICAL BILLS?
SHE DIDN'T TELL YOU. [ SCOFFS ]
HOW NOBLE.
TELL ME WHAT?
SHE'S DYING, LEX.
CANCER.
PROBABLY ALL THOSE YEARS SITTING IN THE SUN
IN SAINT-TROPEZ.
WHAT DOES SHE WANT?
FORGIVENESS.
AND WHAT DID YOU TELL HER?
TO GET OUT.
NO.
SHE DOESN'T KNOW YOU VERY WELL, DOES SHE?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?
DANNY.
UH, I'M REALLY SORRY
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR DAD.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED.
HE, UH, HE HAD THE CAR KEYS WITH HIM.
IT'S LIKE...
IT'S LIKE SOMETHING SMASHED THE CAR RIGHT INTO HIM.
DANNY, DO YOU KNOW A JUSTIN GAINES?
DO YOU KNOW IF HE CAME BY HERE LAST NIGHT?
NO. WHY?
I THINK JUSTIN BELIEVES
YOUR FATHER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCIDENT.
THAT'S CRAZY.
YOU SHOULD LEAVE.
HE MATCHED PART OF YOUR DAD'S LICENSE PLATE
TO THE HIT-AND-RUN DRIVER'S.
IS THERE A CHANCE JUSTIN'S RIGHT?
MY DAD DIDN'T DESERVE THIS.
YOUR DAD WASN'T THE ONE DRIVING THE CAR, WAS HE?
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO HIT JUSTIN.
MY DAD... HE...
HE, UH, HE WAS JUST TRYING TO PROTECT ME.
Justin: CHLOE?
[ DOOR OPENS ]
HEY, MY MOM SAID YOU WERE HERE.
OH, I WANTED TO SURPRISE YOU.
I DIDN'T SEE YOU IN SCHOOL TODAY.
DID YOU HEAR ABOUT PRINCIPAL KWAN?
I DID. THAT'S REALLY WEIRD, RIGHT?
YEAH.
I GUESS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOUR TIME'S UP,
WHICH IS WHY I THINK WE SHOULD MAKE
THE MOST OF THE TIME THAT WE HAVE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
NOTHING. UM, I FORGOT, I JUST REMEMBERED,
UM, I TOLD CLARK I'D MEET HIM AT HIS HOUSE.
YOU KNOW, FOR SOMEONE THAT YOU SAID IS OUT OF THE PICTURE,
YOU SURE SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH HIM.
DON'T WORRY. TODAY, I PLAN ON TELLING HIM
EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN US.
YOU DID THE RIGHT THING, CLARK,
CONVINCING DANNY TO TURN HIMSELF IN.
HIS FATHER'S DEAD, NOW HE'S PROBABLY GOING TO JAIL.
SOME SECRETS DESTROY FAMILIES.
CLARK, CHLOE'S ON THE PHONE. SHE SOUNDS REALLY FREAKED OUT.
CHLOE, WHAT'S UP?
CLARK, I'VE BEEN CALLING ALL OVER THE PLACE.
I REALLY SCREWED UP.
JUSTIN IS INVOLVED. YOU WERE RIGHT.
WELL, CALM DOWN. WHERE ARE YOU?
I'm in your barn.
I HAVEN'T BEEN COMPLETELY HONEST WITH YOU, CLARK.
I KNOW HOW JUSTIN CAUSED THOSE ACCIDENTS.
CHLOE? CHLOE!
JUSTIN?
AAH!
HOW COULD YOU BETRAY ME?
HOW COULD YOU BETRAY WHAT WE HAD TOGETHER?
AAH!
THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOU, CHLOE.
YOU'RE A FIGHTER.
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T WANT IT TO BE LIKE THIS.
HOW DID YOU DO THAT?
YOU KILLED THE WRONG MAN!
YOU'RE LYING. HIS SON JUST TURNED HIMSELF IN.
HE WAS THE ONE WHO HIT YOU.
THAT IS NOT TRUE!
YOU SAID YOU CARED ABOUT CHLOE.
HOW MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE YOU WILLING TO KILL, JUSTIN?
JUST ONE MORE.
YOU'VE REALLY GOT TO STICK THOSE LANDINGS, CLARK.
YOU CAN'T WIN, JUSTIN.
CHLOE. YOU OKAY?
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
YOU'RE THE LAST PERSON I EXPECTED TO SEE.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
IT'S NOT YOUR CONCERN.
IT'S NOT MY CONCERN THAT YOU'RE DYING?
I COULD HELP YOU. I CAN GET YOU TREATMENT.
I DIDN'T COME TO YOU FOR HELP OR PITY.
I CAME BECAUSE I HAD NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE.
THE TRUTH IS, I'M ASHAMED
THAT IT TOOK METASTASIZING TO GIVE ME THE COURAGE.
I LET THAT BASTARD FRIGHTEN ME INTO SUBMISSION
FOR SO LONG, I...
I WAS TOO SCARED TO EVEN TELL YOU JUST ONCE...
HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME...
HOW MUCH I WANTED TO HELP YOU GROW.
I WISH YOU HAD.
I MIGHT BE A BETTER MAN.
THE FACT THAT YOU'RE HERE SPEAKS VOLUMES
ABOUT THE MAN THAT YOU ARE.
YOUR MOTHER WOULD BE PROUD.
I REALLY MISS HER.
SO DO I.
I JUST SPOKE TO JUSTIN'S PARENTS.
HOW'S HE DOING?
HE'S IN THE PSYCHIATRIC WARD.
THE POLICE DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO CHARGE HIM WITH,
BUT AT LEAST HE WON'T HURT ANYBODY.
SO, SHOULD WE DO THE, UH, "I TOLD YOU SO" PART,
OR IS MY PERENNIAL BAD JUDGMENT IMPLICIT?
CHLOE, I WISH I WERE WRONG.
WHAT IS IT WITH ME?
I CAN SPOT WALL OF WEIRD MATERIAL
FROM A MILE AWAY, BUT...
PUT IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, AND I'M OBLIVIOUS.
YOU'RE NOT OBLIVIOUS. YOU'RE TRUSTING.
YOU'RE STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE RISKS WITH YOUR EMOTIONS.
I WISH I WERE AS BRAVE AS YOU.
I STILL HAVE THOSE TWO TICKETS TO THE JOURNALISM CONVENTION.
IT WOULD BE A GOOD CHANCE FOR US TO SPEND SOME TIME TOGETHER.
OKAY, IT'S A DATE.
♫ I WOKE UP ON THE WRONG SIDE ♫
♫ WE BROKE UP FOR THE LAST TIME ♫
WHITNEY, WE NEED TO TALK.
WHAT IS IT? WHAT HAPPENED?
IT'S MY DAD.
♫ LYING IN MY BED I HEAR ♫
