All language subtitles for Smallville.S08E12.1080p.BluRay.Remux.eng

Previously on Smallville...

You saved me.

But that was the last time.

The burning sun may strengthen you,
but it has the opposite effect on me.

It stripped me of my powers.

Detective John Jones.

I wanted to be close by
in case you needed me.

Lana?

Does Clark know about you?

I think I can safely say he knows more
of my secrets than he does yours.

You weren't planning
on coming back, were you?

Mr. Luthor is a firm believer
in truth and justice.

He's done more for this world
than you ever will.

He dedicated his life
to making it a safer place.

Dispatch, this is Detective Jones.

Please tell me you have a 20
on my suspect.

Suspect reported
turning north on Riverside.

Black and white in pursuit.

You're under arrest
for three counts of murder.

Thanks for the assistance, officers.

Just doing our job, Detective.

This isn't exactly what I had in mind
when I suggested coffee after work.

After work?

- Lana, what time is it?
- Relax.

It gives me a chance
to see Clark Kent in his new element.

Shirt and tie.

You must be turning heads
left and right.

I guess I've been too busy at work
to notice.

You know, with everything else going on.

Any leads on that thing that took Chloe?

A night watchman
and two ambulance drivers were murdered

the night of the ceremony.

Lana, I'm gonna find this thing
before it hurts anyone else.

I know you will.

You've become the man
that I've always known you could be.

I should probably leave you to it.

Next round's on you?

Emergency staff to
the ER. incoming trauma, Metropolis P.D.

All right, let's go. Got a GSW.

GSW to the chest.

BP is critical.
He's lost a lot of blood.

He's alive, but we can't get a pulse.

I'll take it from here. No one
in or out without my authorization.

Clearing the wound.
BP's dropping.

We've gotta
get the bullet out now.

Charge the paddles.
We're losing him. Clear.

Somebody save me

Let your warm hands
Break right through

Somebody save me

Don't care how you do it

Just stay, 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

Clark.

Oliver? What are you doing here?

I was out on patrol.
I heard the call go out over my scanner.

Whoever that is,
he can't just operate on Jones.

Why, 'cause he's Martian?

I get it. Clark, it's fine.
He's in good hands with Emil, trust me.

After I got poisoned
I figured, you know, guys like us

could probably use a specialist
on the payroll.

Since when did Jones become one of us?

Well, he's gotten me out of a few
tight scrapes with the police, Clark.

He wanted to meet with me
after his shift to talk about something.

I don't know what it was.

If he hadn't sacrificed his abilities
to save my life,

that bullet wouldn't have
left a scratch.

And now you feel guilty,
and that's your thing,

and I get it, that's great.

But standing here doing nothing
is not gonna solve anything.

- Do you know what he was working on?
- No.

I think you should follow your leads.
And I'll follow mine.

Hey, let's face it, teamwork's
never really been our strong suit.

What is your focus?

True victory.

And what is true victory?

Victory over oneself.

First principle of aikido.

That will be all, Terrence.

The enigmatic Lana Lang...

in the flesh.

To what do I owe this honor?

I wanted to thank you.

There's been a startling
lack of coverage

on my return in the Daily Planet.

I tend to keep my reporters
on a short leash.

Hmm.

Most of the time.

You have just as much presence
as Lex said you did.

You'd have to, to tame a Luthor.

High marks, coming from the woman
entrusted with the Luthor legacy.

He must have had a lot of faith in you.

It wasn't easy to earn.

I wonder how much of that trust
would remain...

if he knew how much
of his company's money

you were siphoning
into a project called Prometheus.

Unless, of course,

there's still someone higher than you
calling the shots.

Lex is alive.

And you know where he is, don't you?

It seems that you've been wasting
a very gifted imagination, Miss Lang.

The Planet runs a fiction section
on Sundays, if you're interested.

I used to see that look in the mirror.

You'll do anything to defend Lex,
to protect him.

He has a way of turning
that kind of devotion against you.

Well, you don't know Lex like I do.

For your sake, I hope you're right.

Glad I caught you before you left.

Yeah. I just need to be back
at the hospital before Jimmy wakes up.

- I wouldn't have asked but...
- Heroes don't take holidays.

So from what I can hack,
looks like our favorite Martian

has been pulling profiles from a handful
of officers from the 44th Precinct.

You know, I gotta say,

being at the mercy of modern technology
really sucks.

I know, I know.
I'm happy to be Brainiac-free.

But my evil upgrade
was really convenient.

Just glad everything's back to normal.

So it would seem.

How are things
now that Lana's back in your orbit?

It's not like that.

I think.

Clark, things always get messy

when you start throwing around
the Clark-Lana triangle.

I'm speaking from experience when I say
that the third point always hurts.

I'm not trying to hurt anyone.

How about Lois?

Yeah, it's that obvious.

Lois.

Lois is so...

Lois?

Yeah.

Seeing Lana come back,
it's like she never left.

You can't just stop loving someone,
you know, just like that, right?

I understand the need
for closure, Clark. Just...

promise you're not gonna slam
my cousin in the door.

Ballistics says
it's a BG-49 armor-piercing bullet.

Which mysteriously vanished
from the evidence.

Clark, you said you returned that,
didn't you?

I did, Chloe.

You said Jones
was looking into the 44th.

Only someone from that system
could have stolen the evidence.

This could have been an inside job.

You think Jones was shot by a cop.

If that's the case, then someone
higher up in the force

needs to know about this.

And you think
someone on the force

is just gonna open up to you,
a reporter?

Clark, these guys protect their own.

Jones is fighting for his life.

I'm not gonna let whoever did this
hide behind their badge.

All right. If we're gonna sneak you
across this thin blue line,

you're gonna need something a lot
more substantial than just a press pass.

Danny boy.

You all set for your new sidekick?

He was born ready.

Besides, who could resist
this handsome face?

Better than looking
at his ugly mug all day.

Give him hell, Danny.

Come on, let's go.

You the transfer from Coast City?

Joe, ready to save the world?

That's quite a sweet tooth
you got there.

Yeah.

Got them for my kid last Halloween,
now I can't stop eating the things.

He loves the banana ones.

I think root beer
is the only one worth the effort.

Help yourself.

What's the matter, Fordman?

Don't they have squad cars
back in Coast City?

I just... I guess I'm not used to riding
in one so nice.

Nice?

Good to see you got a sense of humor.
You're gonna need that here.

Let's hope you live long enough
to catch that surf again.

There was a detective that got shot,
right? What's his name?

Jones?

Yeah, well, that might be a headline
back where you come from.

But here, some detective getting plugged
is just another day in Metropolis.

Blood on a badge
is blood on a badge, right?

No matter what city you're in.

Wearing this badge is like putting
a bull's-eye right over your heart.

Meanwhile, we got these costumed idiots
running around,

getting in our way,
taking all the credit.

The Green Arrow, Red-Blue Blur.

The Great Pumpkin.

Yeah.

You think they do more harm than good?

What I know is that cops got rules,
capes don't.

Metro Adam 13,
10-30 in progress.

550 South Broad, respond, code three.

Ten-four, Dispatch.

Junkies hitting the pharmacy again.

Just someone I'm looking for.

All right, you ready to see
how we do it in the big city?

Make sure everyone's okay.

Metro P.D. Stop!

Hey!

Stop right there.

Hold it!

You run track, Fordman?

A little here and there.

Guess I owe you one.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say
can and will be used against you...

I'm uploading the files
we Wi-Fied from Tess' drives.

Transmitting data to you now.

Unknown?

- Hello.
- Whoa.

Hey.

Who are you, Warrior Angel?

No. I'm the Red-Blue Blur.

It's a losing battle.

Don't worry, Dad. He'll grow out of it.

You must be Joe.
I'm Danny's wife, Suzie.

Hi. It's nice to meet you in person.

In person?

You are not still carrying
that picture around?

He's had that thing since senior year.

Dad!

You all right?

You want the ambulance?

Thanks for looking out for him today.

Losing his partner really tore him up.

It's good to know that someone's
still got his back out there.

- How long did they ride together?
- Since they graduated the academy.

One day they both went out,
and only Danny came home.

Mike always thought he was bulletproof.

Now every night I hold my breath

waiting for him
to walk through that door.

We just need him more.

Hey, Fordman.

Rookie really earned his keep today.

And us.

We all made it home safe.

May we all be as lucky tomorrow.

Excuse me.

It's too bad all of us weren't so lucky.

You know, with what happened with Jones.

Yeah.

Yeah, you know.

The damn shame is, nobody knew the guy.

Ask anyone in his precinct.

Lone wolf like Jones,
you know, he stands out from the pack,

and that's not a good thing.

Safety in numbers?

Well, I wasn't making light
when I said we're all brothers.

Hard to stick your neck out
for a guy you don't even know.

Isn't that what police officers
are supposed to do?

Can you believe the stones on this guy?

Good for you, Joe. Good for you.

Listen, you keep your eyes
on the street.

And you leave the detective work
to the desk jockeys.

And don't be stupid like Jones.

Always wear your vest.

Fordman, we gotta go.

I guess I'm not as good
a judge of character as I thought.

It seems that you stole
some sensitive information from me.

And I thought we were bonding.

Rain check on girls' night?

You know, it's nice to finally see
what Lex saw in you.

You're stunning...

and devious.

What Lex saw in me...

was an equal.

Someone that he couldn't control.

Really?

I guess I shouldn't send my condolences
about the miscarriage then.

It gave me the perspective I needed
to see Lex for who he really is.

I know he thought
that was the only way to keep you...

but he always loved you.

When you stole the data, you corrupted
our files, and we've lost everything.

Prometheus is the one chance
Lex has at survival,

and I won't let you jeopardize that.

Got you a little present, Danny.

Looks who's surfaced.

Listen. I got acquitted, all right?

The judge let me off,
no strings attached, all right?

You got off on a technicality,
you piece of trash cop killer.

Do you have any idea
what you did to my partner's family?

And what you did to me?

Danny.

We may not control the system,
but we definitely control the streets.

Please stop.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Danny, he killed your partner.

Don't hold back.

Justice must be served.

I'm sorry.

You just
gonna stand there, Fordman?

Or you gonna man up
and give your partner a hand?

- What the hell are you doing here?
- You gotta get out of here. Now.

Were you this devoted
before or after your accident?

Someone's been doing her homework.

I don't know what you want from me.

Two years ago, your survey team
was in South America,

collecting disease samples
for LuthorCorp

when an explosion destroyed your camp.

And you were left for dead.

Lex saved my life.

I owe him everything.

This is how a Luthor rewards
that kind of loyalty.

What are you doing?

I'm opening your eyes.

There's a nano-transmitter
hardwired to your optic nerve.

You've been Lex's eyes and ears
for quite some time.

He's watching us right now.

Lex might have saved you...

but he never trusted you, Tess.

I'm sorry.

I'll let you know as soon
as Detective Jones wakes up.

He's strong,
but he's not out of the woods yet.

Thank you, Doctor.

Fordman.

- Look, take it easy.
- Take it easy?

Come here.

I saw you chatting up
your buddy the Green Arrow.

He took down our whole squad,
you just let him walk?

Look, I don't know
what you think you saw...

All you do is ask questions
about some detective,

and then I find you checking up on him
in the hospital, too?

Who are you, Joe? You fed, IAB?

I wanna take down the guy who shot him

and I know that the shooter's
a part of your squad.

They crossed the line, Danny.

This isn't the first time
they've gone after somebody

who slipped through the system.

- Well, someone has to.
- What about John Jones?

He was onto your lynch mob, wasn't he?

Danny, someone shot him to cover it up.
Who are you protecting?

You don't roll over on a badge,
not ever.

Then why is it okay to shoot one?

Hey, these guys have my back,

which is more than I can say for you.

I do have your back, Danny,
and I might be the only one.

This is not justice.

Joe, I'm just one man.

I mean, what can one man do?

Ask yourself why you put that uniform on
in the first place.

Imagine my surprise when I stumbled
upon Metropolis' finest going gangland.

Thug's a really good look
for you and your crew, by the way.

They're not all bad, Oliver.

Some of them are out there every day
risking their lives and their family's,

- trying to do the same thing we are.
- Yeah, I'm sure you're right.

You know, I always forget, how many
parolees did we rough up last month?

Do you remember?

Of all people,
I thought you would understand

that this isn't just black and white.

No matter how noble their intentions,
when they started, Clark,

these people have gone too far.

And you never have?

Danny watched that guy kill his partner.

Tell me you've never been tempted
to look in the eyes of someone

who just committed so much pain and...

Kill them?

Kill them for the greater good?

You gonna stand there
and tell me that's what you believe?

I didn't think so.

What I'm saying is that saving someone,
truly saving them,

is not about knocking them out
and throwing them in a dark room.

It's about helping them find their way
back to the right side.

You know what, Clark?
Some people are beyond saving.

That's the suspect
that Jones tracked down.

He didn't find his way
back to custody, Clark.

He did, however, manage to find his way
to the bottom of a river.

Now these cops are taking the law
into their own hands.

How many more people have to die
before you do anything?

All right, look. I have narrowed it
down to Simmons and Talbert.

- Both have sniper training.
- Great.

You sit here and you play detective.

I'm gonna go make sure
your boys don't get a chance

to put another person in the hospital.

What's the matter?

There's something
you need to know about Joe.

I made a couple of calls.

He's not who he says he is.

Should have called ahead.

I would've had the wife
set a place at the table for you.

Clark Kent, you're under arrest
for the attempted murder

of Detective John Jones.

You set me up?

You're better than this.

You did the right thing.

There's one loose thread to tie up.

And your hands have been clean
for way too long, Danny boy.

Hey, smile.

You're gonna be the man
who killed the Green Arrow.

This is messed up.
You said you were transferring me.

We're not gonna kill you.
You're just the bait.

You ready, Danny?

How do you know the Arrow's gonna show?

He can't help himself.

After the other night,
you can bet he's been watching us.

Help! Help!

Help!

Somebody help me!

That should do it. Let him have it.

Target spotted
moving toward your position.

Showtime, kid.

We gotta stop meeting like this.

You're welcome.

Damn it, Turpin, move in.

Turn around. Show me your hands.

That's not bad.

It's not every day
someone gets the drop on me.

Is this all a joke to you?
That guy took a shot at me.

And you were gonna what,
put him in the ground?

Damn it, Turpin,
you got the shot. Take it.

Joe's partner, right?

His name is Clark Kent.

This isn't about him, okay?

You got the shot, Danny.
Come on, take it.

It's not too late for you.
You don't have to do this.

Why don't you capes
just mind your own damn business, huh?

You don't know these guys like I do.

I got a family at home.

When your boy asks you
who you saved today,

you can tell him
you killed a man in cold blood.

It ain't like that.

I knew you were part of this,
but Clark actually trusted you.

He thinks you just lost your way.

Take the shot, Danny.

Man, if this is what you need to do
to find yourself, then...

Then do it.

You do it, you pull the trigger,

and you can prove Clark wrong.

Be a real hero.

Take the shot, Danny.

You should've pulled that trigger, kid.

Dispatch.

Green Arrow spotted on 16th Avenue
assaulting an officer.

Requesting backup. Officer is down.

All units,
all units, 10-108 on 16th.

Officer under attack from Green Arrow.
Immediate backup requested.

How many times did I swear
Turpin wouldn't seal the deal?

Pay up.

Come on.

How did...

It's like you said...

always wear a vest.

- Danny.
- You're under arrest.

Don't shoot.

I'm one of the good guys.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Feels good to be back on my feet again.

I don't know how many favors
you had to call in.

Thank you for getting me
out of trouble with the police.

It was the least I could do.

You could have used some backup
out there.

Why didn't you call me in sooner?

The same reason I've had to pull you
from the brink of death before.

The same reason
you let your guard down last night.

Pride.

After knowing what it's like
to truly feel powerful...

to have the ability to change fate...

it's hard to admit
when you can't do it alone.

I guess going solo has really
caught up with us lately, huh?

You know, for everything
Danny's crew did wrong, I have to say...

knowing there's always someone there
who has your back...

that brotherhood can make you
feel like you could do anything.

When I thought my life was over,
you gave me a reason to keep going.

I wouldn't be who I am without you.

I trusted you.

Because I respected you.

I've done everything you've ever asked.

You've seen that...

with your own eyes,
and apparently with mine.

But not anymore.

I hope you watch with rapt attention

as your bank accounts close,

as you lose all contact
with the outside world,

as your life disappears...

before your eyes.

Goodbye, Lex.

I loved you...

you son of a bitch.

Mercy.

Wow!

I sure hope your s'mores
are worth the drive.

Wouldn't want you
to spoil your appetite.

We're going to dinner.

I'd like to discuss a merger.

A merger?

What kind of merger?

Any kind you want.

Don't keep me waiting.

Oh. All right, bud, it's PJ time, okay?

Green Arrow?

No. Robin Hood.

You know, most people think
he's a bad guy, but he isn't.

That's what my kid tells me. Go figure.

Must be all those bright colors.

Danny, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you
I was a reporter.

Yeah, well,
I can't really be mad at you, Clark.

I wanna be, but you were just doing
what you felt was right,

which is more than I can say for myself.

I just got all turned around.

I'm glad you found your way again.

Yeah, well, let's hold off on that
until the inquest next week.

But no matter what happens...

I know that they can be proud of me
from now on.

Hey, Danny.

Is it hard to put them through
what you do every day?

You just can't lose sight of the people
you're trying to protect, you know?

It would be harder not doing it.

I do what I do...

just to keep them safe.

Yeah, yeah.

What about you, Clark?

You got someone
who makes it all worth it?

If I squint just right,
it's like we're 14 again.

You say that like it's a good thing.

What's up?

I couldn't sleep.

So you came to a coffee shop?

Not your best plan, Mr. Kent.

Lana, I know you had reasons
for coming back.

Why are you staying?

Leaving's harder
than I thought it would be.

But like I said, I don't know
how long I'll be here, so...

Whether you leave in ten years
or you leave tomorrow,

the important thing is
you're here today.

Clark.

We aren't 14 anymore.

The world will always be bigger
than the both of us.

Maybe it doesn't have to be
all or nothing.

For the last year...

all I've done is sacrifice myself
and everything that I loved

for the greater good

What if the rest of the world
didn't have to come first?

The world needs you, Clark.

What about what we need?
