Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:23,256 --> 00:00:26,054
Okay, take five. Kent and Turner,
you're in the final.
2
00:00:26,659 --> 00:00:30,026
Dude, I'd definitely take
you in a rematch.
3
00:00:30,196 --> 00:00:33,165
My foot slipped on the dive,
ruined my rhythm.
4
00:00:33,333 --> 00:00:35,699
It's funny, I thought you
were just slow.
5
00:00:38,204 --> 00:00:39,933
He's a hottie, isn't he?
6
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,005
Look at him.
7
00:00:42,375 --> 00:00:45,867
- Who, Clark?
- Oh, come on, Lana.
8
00:00:46,046 --> 00:00:48,446
- Krissy, Clark and I are just friends.
- Right.
9
00:00:52,185 --> 00:00:54,745
- So, what do you think?
- Awesome.
10
00:00:54,921 --> 00:00:58,118
I'll ask the principal
if we can hang it in the cafeteria.
11
00:00:58,291 --> 00:01:01,556
You've really thrown yourself
into Spirit Week. I'm impressed.
12
00:01:01,728 --> 00:01:05,858
Well, these are the best times of our lives.
Isn't that what they say?
13
00:01:06,299 --> 00:01:09,063
To be honest, I'd forgotten
how much fun this can be.
14
00:01:09,235 --> 00:01:12,136
- I'm looking forward to it.
- Krissy. Hey, baby.
15
00:01:12,505 --> 00:01:16,134
Hey, Troy, you're dripping
on my signs.
16
00:01:16,309 --> 00:01:20,473
- Don't you have another race?
- Finals. I need a good-luck kiss.
17
00:01:21,981 --> 00:01:25,576
- Go. I can finish up here.
- Thanks. Follow me.
18
00:01:26,953 --> 00:01:28,750
Not a problem.
19
00:01:36,329 --> 00:01:39,730
All right, this one's for bragging rights.
Fastest in the school.
20
00:01:39,899 --> 00:01:42,299
Okay, guys, on the blocks.
21
00:01:43,603 --> 00:01:45,628
Come on, Troy, hurry up.
22
00:01:49,275 --> 00:01:51,209
Swimmers, take your marks.
23
00:01:52,445 --> 00:01:55,107
Three, two, one!
24
00:02:06,893 --> 00:02:08,793
Troy?
25
00:02:09,129 --> 00:02:11,427
- Hey, hey! Troy!
- What's wrong with him?
26
00:02:15,869 --> 00:02:17,268
He's going under!
27
00:02:18,104 --> 00:02:20,004
Somebody help him!
28
00:02:20,173 --> 00:02:22,437
- Troy!
- Help him!
29
00:03:45,958 --> 00:03:47,892
Open your mouth.
30
00:03:50,863 --> 00:03:52,125
Hey, that's perfect.
31
00:03:52,298 --> 00:03:55,961
All we have to do is come up with
a snappy name, we'll make a fortune.
32
00:03:56,135 --> 00:03:58,535
Forget Mrs. Fields.
You could be "Mrs. Kents."
33
00:03:58,704 --> 00:04:02,936
- I like the sound of that.
- This is turning into a bigtime operation.
34
00:04:03,109 --> 00:04:05,373
Thanks. I've added
two convenience stores...
35
00:04:05,545 --> 00:04:08,173
...and the retirement center
to my client list.
36
00:04:08,347 --> 00:04:10,110
That's great.
37
00:04:10,349 --> 00:04:12,146
What?
38
00:04:12,318 --> 00:04:15,151
I don't see how we'll pay
the feed bill this month.
39
00:04:15,621 --> 00:04:20,115
- I could get an extension on our credit.
- We're already three months behind.
40
00:04:20,293 --> 00:04:23,660
- Henry's a friend, he'll understand.
- He already said no.
41
00:04:23,829 --> 00:04:26,957
My salary from Lionel isn't enough.
What are we gonna do?
42
00:04:36,008 --> 00:04:38,476
Maybe we should talk to my father.
43
00:04:43,015 --> 00:04:45,415
Why is it whenever anyone
mentions Granddad...
44
00:04:45,585 --> 00:04:48,577
...everyone becomes quiet
and uncomfortable?
45
00:04:48,754 --> 00:04:51,780
- Isn't it weird I've never met the guy?
- Clark, I'm...
46
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:56,088
I'm sorry that you haven't had a relationship
with your grandpa, I really am.
47
00:04:56,262 --> 00:04:58,457
But there's too much bad blood.
48
00:04:59,932 --> 00:05:03,299
I'm sorry, but I've got work to do.
49
00:05:12,211 --> 00:05:16,614
- Lana, where would you like these?
- You can just put them on the counter.
50
00:05:16,782 --> 00:05:19,478
- Getting ready for the Spirit Week bash?
- Trying to.
51
00:05:19,652 --> 00:05:24,680
I think Nell's used the projection booth
as her personal storage since the late '70s.
52
00:05:31,931 --> 00:05:33,956
What are those?
53
00:05:34,133 --> 00:05:37,227
Clark, these photos are
of my mom and some guy.
54
00:05:37,970 --> 00:05:39,870
Maybe he's an old boyfriend.
55
00:05:43,843 --> 00:05:46,209
They were taken when
my parents were married.
56
00:05:46,379 --> 00:05:48,472
Maybe he was just a friend.
57
00:05:53,486 --> 00:05:56,148
- I'm sure you're right.
- Right about what?
58
00:05:56,322 --> 00:05:58,483
The mystery man with Lana's mother.
59
00:05:58,658 --> 00:06:01,559
Hey, they make an attractive couple.
60
00:06:05,464 --> 00:06:09,161
And there could be a million explanations.
Who do you think it is?
61
00:06:10,269 --> 00:06:12,328
I don't know,
but I'll bet Nell does.
62
00:06:12,505 --> 00:06:16,373
Then mystery solved.
I wish they were all this easy.
63
00:06:16,542 --> 00:06:19,136
Well, it's late, we should
get to school.
64
00:06:19,311 --> 00:06:23,441
- I'm heading that way, if you need a lift.
- I've got the first two periods off.
65
00:06:23,616 --> 00:06:27,279
- Clark?
- No, I was just gonna run.
66
00:06:28,254 --> 00:06:31,018
I don't think you could outrun
my Porsche, Clark.
67
00:06:40,833 --> 00:06:43,495
Excuse me. What's going on?
I need to get in there.
68
00:06:43,669 --> 00:06:47,537
- You should've been here earlier, Mr...?
- Kent. Clark Kent.
69
00:06:47,707 --> 00:06:51,871
Of course. I noticed in your records
you have a penchant for tardiness.
70
00:06:52,678 --> 00:06:55,841
- Who exactly are you?
- I'm Mr. Reynolds, your new principal.
71
00:06:56,315 --> 00:06:59,148
- Oh, nice to meet you.
- Yes.
72
00:06:59,318 --> 00:07:00,876
So you're aware,
from now on...
73
00:07:01,053 --> 00:07:05,490
...this gate locks when the bell rings
and doesn't open until school is out.
74
00:07:05,658 --> 00:07:07,148
I'd...
75
00:07:07,827 --> 00:07:11,820
I'd appreciate it if you'd give Clark
a pass. He was late because of me.
76
00:07:11,997 --> 00:07:13,589
Lex Luthor.
77
00:07:13,766 --> 00:07:18,169
The Porsche, the attitude. Somehow
I'm not surprised you're involved.
78
00:07:18,337 --> 00:07:21,101
- You know each other.
- Mr. Reynolds was headmaster...
79
00:07:21,273 --> 00:07:23,673
...at Excelsior Prep
during my stay there.
80
00:07:23,843 --> 00:07:26,073
You might find this hard
to believe, Lex...
81
00:07:26,245 --> 00:07:29,703
...but people should take responsibility
for their own actions.
82
00:07:29,882 --> 00:07:33,079
- It won't happen again.
- I'm keeping my eye on you, Mr. Kent.
83
00:07:33,619 --> 00:07:37,248
The next time it happens,
automatic detention.
84
00:07:39,325 --> 00:07:40,587
Catch you later, Clark.
85
00:07:45,765 --> 00:07:50,668
Spare the rod, spoil the child. You haven't
changed. What's next, school uniforms?
86
00:07:50,936 --> 00:07:55,168
I'd appreciate it if you'd stay away
from my school and my students, Luthor.
87
00:07:55,341 --> 00:07:59,607
Listen, I know we had our share
of run-ins at Excelsior, but I was 14.
88
00:07:59,779 --> 00:08:02,543
Don't you think it's petty to be
holding a grudge?
89
00:08:02,715 --> 00:08:05,411
That's awfully noble,
coming from a Luthor.
90
00:08:06,452 --> 00:08:07,976
I'm a little confused.
91
00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:10,748
Exactly what did I do
to earn such enmity?
92
00:08:13,292 --> 00:08:15,157
Goodbye, Lex.
93
00:08:27,072 --> 00:08:29,165
Kristine Parker?
94
00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:37,543
- I'm Principal Reynolds.
- Hi, nice to finally meet you.
95
00:08:37,716 --> 00:08:41,914
- Did you get my memo about the uniforms?
- I did. Thank you, I'm looking into it.
96
00:08:42,087 --> 00:08:45,648
I understand you're the visionary
behind our Spirit Week activities.
97
00:08:45,825 --> 00:08:48,623
Well, I just want everyone
to have the best time ever.
98
00:08:48,794 --> 00:08:50,853
I admire your enthusiasm.
99
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:55,160
I was going through the student files,
trying to get to know everyone better...
100
00:08:55,334 --> 00:08:59,395
...and I noticed we don't have
the transcripts from your last school.
101
00:08:59,572 --> 00:09:03,599
That's weird. But it figures,
my guidance counselor was a total ditz.
102
00:09:03,776 --> 00:09:07,439
We need a copy on file. If you can
have your parents forward it...
103
00:09:07,613 --> 00:09:11,447
...I'd appreciate it.
- No problem, I'll tell them tonight.
104
00:09:20,459 --> 00:09:24,361
I see Troy's death has joined the ranks
of the unexplained and bizarre.
105
00:09:24,530 --> 00:09:30,162
Big time. The report said he died of an
onset of a rapid aging disease, progeria. Hi.
106
00:09:30,336 --> 00:09:33,362
I thought that made you age
over 10 years, not 10 seconds.
107
00:09:33,539 --> 00:09:38,203
Exactly. The coroner's running a test
to tell whether Troy had progeria, or...
108
00:09:38,377 --> 00:09:40,242
Something unexplained and bizarre.
109
00:09:40,412 --> 00:09:45,440
Good luck investigating. You'll probably
need a hall pass from our new principal.
110
00:09:45,618 --> 00:09:48,086
A lot of schools have
a closed-campus policy.
111
00:09:48,988 --> 00:09:51,616
- Why you so worked up?
- I had a run-in with him.
112
00:09:51,790 --> 00:09:55,021
He busted me for being late.
Threatened to keep his eye on me.
113
00:09:55,194 --> 00:09:58,857
Clark's on the principal's bad boy list.
First time for everything.
114
00:09:59,031 --> 00:10:00,726
- Guy's a real hard case.
- Right.
115
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:04,461
First, it's a lock-down, next thing you know
he'll be burning books.
116
00:10:04,637 --> 00:10:06,696
Wait till he comes after The Torch.
117
00:10:06,872 --> 00:10:11,935
I did some digging on our Principal Reynolds
to find out his views on the fourth estate.
118
00:10:12,544 --> 00:10:15,035
Harvard, B.A.
Ph.D. At Columbia in education.
119
00:10:15,547 --> 00:10:20,177
Taught at prep schools all over Europe and
the East Coast. Pretty impressive resume.
120
00:10:20,352 --> 00:10:24,379
His name was mentioned as the new head
of the Metropolis Board of Education.
121
00:10:24,556 --> 00:10:27,650
Till one day he's dismissed
from Excelsior Prep...
122
00:10:27,826 --> 00:10:29,885
...and he doesn't work
again until here.
123
00:10:30,062 --> 00:10:32,860
How does a guy on the fast track
end up in Smallville?
124
00:10:33,032 --> 00:10:35,592
I don't know, but he's not
Wall of Weird material.
125
00:10:36,001 --> 00:10:40,438
Just because the guy doesn't love you
like every other teacher in this school...
126
00:10:40,606 --> 00:10:43,939
...doesn't mean that he's hiding
some dark past.
127
00:10:51,483 --> 00:10:53,747
Hey. Came by to see if
you needed a hand.
128
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:56,444
Thought you were helping
your mom this afternoon.
129
00:10:56,622 --> 00:11:00,149
- She said she's got it covered.
- Something wrong?
130
00:11:00,326 --> 00:11:02,692
My mom's been secretive
the last couple days.
131
00:11:02,861 --> 00:11:05,352
A Kent secretive, that's shocking.
132
00:11:05,531 --> 00:11:08,864
- It has to do with my grandfather.
- You've never mentioned him.
133
00:11:09,034 --> 00:11:12,231
I've never actually met him.
I've only seen old pictures.
134
00:11:12,404 --> 00:11:16,340
- Do you know anything about him?
- He was a corporate lawyer in Metropolis.
135
00:11:16,508 --> 00:11:19,602
He and my grandmother
retired to Coast City.
136
00:11:20,012 --> 00:11:23,607
When I was in sixth grade,
I decided to call him. I left messages...
137
00:11:23,782 --> 00:11:27,115
...but he never called back.
Guess he wasn't interested.
138
00:11:27,286 --> 00:11:30,847
All these years I had this image
of the Kents as the perfect family.
139
00:11:31,023 --> 00:11:34,117
I guess we're just as dysfunctional
as everyone else.
140
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,485
I never did pressure my parents
for the story.
141
00:11:37,663 --> 00:11:39,392
Maybe you didn't want to know.
142
00:11:39,798 --> 00:11:42,824
Maybe it's easier to live
with the image than the truth.
143
00:11:43,002 --> 00:11:47,098
Looks like we're both dealing
with secrets out of the past.
144
00:11:47,539 --> 00:11:51,669
I'm not sure what I'm gonna do, but this
is your chance to get some answers.
145
00:11:56,749 --> 00:11:59,149
I'll catch up with you later?
146
00:12:02,921 --> 00:12:07,620
Lana, the place looks fantastic.
147
00:12:08,694 --> 00:12:12,255
- You've done a really good job here.
- Thanks.
148
00:12:13,098 --> 00:12:16,590
- I wanted to talk to you about something.
- Yeah, what is it?
149
00:12:18,971 --> 00:12:21,201
These pictures.
150
00:12:24,510 --> 00:12:25,875
Do you know who he is?
151
00:12:26,245 --> 00:12:29,112
Must have been one of your mom's
old boyfriends.
152
00:12:29,281 --> 00:12:32,273
They were taken after Mom and Dad
were already married.
153
00:12:32,451 --> 00:12:35,147
Just a year before I was born.
154
00:12:37,322 --> 00:12:39,222
Lana, what's this about?
155
00:12:40,225 --> 00:12:41,487
I'm not sure.
156
00:12:42,594 --> 00:12:44,357
Listen to me.
157
00:12:45,564 --> 00:12:47,088
Your mother...
158
00:12:47,566 --> 00:12:52,196
She loved you and your father more
than anything else in this world.
159
00:12:53,038 --> 00:12:56,974
She never would have done anything
to hurt either of you.
160
00:12:58,510 --> 00:13:00,444
You know that, don't you?
161
00:13:25,771 --> 00:13:27,398
Hi, Dad.
162
00:13:27,573 --> 00:13:29,700
I appreciate you making the trip.
163
00:13:35,948 --> 00:13:37,813
I was surprised to get
your message.
164
00:13:37,983 --> 00:13:40,781
Must have taken a lot for Jonathan
to ask for my help.
165
00:13:40,953 --> 00:13:45,253
Jonathan is at the co-op in Granville.
He doesn't know I called.
166
00:13:46,191 --> 00:13:48,022
I should have known.
167
00:13:50,295 --> 00:13:52,889
I imagined this place differently.
168
00:13:54,333 --> 00:13:56,767
But it's not the life I wanted
for you, Martha.
169
00:13:56,935 --> 00:13:59,961
I'm happy, Dad. It's a good life.
170
00:14:00,139 --> 00:14:04,269
For some people, maybe.
But you had so much potential.
171
00:14:04,443 --> 00:14:09,403
Top 10 in your class. You could have gone
to any law school you wanted.
172
00:14:09,581 --> 00:14:11,674
I had hoped you'd take over
my practice.
173
00:14:11,850 --> 00:14:15,251
I never wanted to be a lawyer.
This is the life I chose.
174
00:14:15,420 --> 00:14:17,888
This is the life Jonathan
chose for you.
175
00:14:18,056 --> 00:14:21,457
- You just went along for the ride.
- This isn't about Jonathan.
176
00:14:21,627 --> 00:14:25,461
You raised an independent daughter.
You're angry because you got that.
177
00:14:25,631 --> 00:14:30,625
Here you are, 20 years later, going behind
your husband's back asking me for money.
178
00:14:30,802 --> 00:14:33,737
- Mom?
- Clark.
179
00:14:34,206 --> 00:14:36,106
I thought you were at the Talon.
180
00:14:36,608 --> 00:14:39,168
I finished early. What's up?
181
00:14:41,813 --> 00:14:44,008
Clark, this is your grandfather.
182
00:14:47,252 --> 00:14:50,415
- Pleased to meet you, sir.
- Hello, Clark.
183
00:14:56,361 --> 00:14:57,794
I'II...
184
00:14:57,963 --> 00:14:59,794
I'll be at the motel.
185
00:15:00,766 --> 00:15:04,031
I'll have a cashier's check drawn
tomorrow morning.
186
00:15:04,203 --> 00:15:08,003
Why don't you stay with us?
We have plenty of room.
187
00:15:09,741 --> 00:15:12,767
I don't think that would be
a very good idea, Clark.
188
00:15:14,112 --> 00:15:16,444
Well, how about dinner?
189
00:15:17,449 --> 00:15:19,474
One meal as a family.
190
00:15:19,651 --> 00:15:21,676
I'm sorry.
191
00:15:42,407 --> 00:15:46,309
I don't want your father having anything
to do with our finances.
192
00:15:46,478 --> 00:15:48,412
Jonathan, what was I supposed to do?
193
00:15:48,580 --> 00:15:52,482
- Wait until the bank foreclosed?
- I wish you'd said something to me first.
194
00:15:52,651 --> 00:15:56,417
- What's the harm in hearing him out?
- You don't have to be the mediator.
195
00:15:56,588 --> 00:15:59,648
- I wish things could be different.
- Why can't they be?
196
00:15:59,825 --> 00:16:04,353
You told me to look for the best in people.
Maybe he's trying to put this behind him.
197
00:16:04,529 --> 00:16:06,827
I seriously doubt that, Clark.
198
00:16:07,966 --> 00:16:09,661
What happened that was
so bad?
199
00:16:09,835 --> 00:16:13,066
It can't be any worse than
what's in the storm cellar.
200
00:16:15,307 --> 00:16:16,604
Or can it?
201
00:16:18,644 --> 00:16:23,274
When your mother and I decided to get
married, I went to him to ask for her hand.
202
00:16:23,649 --> 00:16:26,777
- What'd he say?
- I remember his exact words:
203
00:16:26,985 --> 00:16:30,978
"I will not let my daughter throw her life
away by marrying a hick farmer...
204
00:16:31,156 --> 00:16:33,818
...that couldn't possibly
support her."
205
00:16:34,092 --> 00:16:37,687
- Well, that's harsh.
- That's the way he dealt with people.
206
00:16:37,963 --> 00:16:42,332
When he realized we were serious
about getting married, he lost it.
207
00:16:42,501 --> 00:16:45,561
- He tried to shove me out of his office.
- What happened?
208
00:16:48,407 --> 00:16:50,602
I hit him.
209
00:16:53,545 --> 00:16:56,275
I'm not proud of that,
I tried to apologize to him.
210
00:16:56,448 --> 00:17:00,009
He wouldn't have anything to do
with it. Your grandfather and I...
211
00:17:00,185 --> 00:17:03,814
...haven't said a word to each other since.
- That was 20 years ago.
212
00:17:03,989 --> 00:17:07,390
He was willing to drive out here,
maybe he wants to try again.
213
00:17:07,559 --> 00:17:11,757
Believe me, Clark, he's not here to help.
He's here to gloat.
214
00:17:34,486 --> 00:17:39,185
Hey, I got a message you wanted
to see me. Everything all right?
215
00:17:39,358 --> 00:17:41,588
I was wondering if you could
do me a favor.
216
00:17:41,860 --> 00:17:45,125
I take it Nell couldn't identify
the mystery man?
217
00:17:45,497 --> 00:17:47,829
If she could, she wouldn't
tell me anything.
218
00:17:47,999 --> 00:17:49,591
I wanna know who it is.
219
00:17:50,268 --> 00:17:52,532
Well, that shouldn't be
hard to find.
220
00:17:52,704 --> 00:17:56,333
But coming to terms with it could prove
to be more complicated.
221
00:17:56,508 --> 00:17:57,975
What do you mean?
222
00:17:58,143 --> 00:18:00,270
Come on, you know the story
of Pandora.
223
00:18:00,445 --> 00:18:03,539
She was given a box by Zeus
and warned never to open it.
224
00:18:03,715 --> 00:18:07,116
- She couldn't resist the temptation.
- I'm not afraid of the truth.
225
00:18:07,285 --> 00:18:11,187
Neither was Pandora. But once the box
was open, it could never be closed.
226
00:18:11,356 --> 00:18:13,916
All the misery could
never be put back.
227
00:18:14,092 --> 00:18:18,051
I appreciate the warning.
And anything you can tell me.
228
00:18:18,263 --> 00:18:20,458
Go, Crows!
229
00:18:25,570 --> 00:18:26,901
- Hey, Chloe.
- Hey, Clark.
230
00:18:27,072 --> 00:18:30,132
Clark, you might want to disappear
for the next hour or so.
231
00:18:30,308 --> 00:18:32,299
- Why's that?
- I'm about to interview...
232
00:18:32,477 --> 00:18:35,037
...your new best friend,
Principal Reynolds.
233
00:18:35,213 --> 00:18:37,579
Thanks for the heads up.
234
00:18:40,652 --> 00:18:43,086
- What have you got there?
- Remember my buddy...
235
00:18:43,255 --> 00:18:47,385
...that works at the M.E.'s office?
- The guy with the black fingernail polish.
236
00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:51,928
It's hard being Smallville's only goth.
He sent me the autopsy report of Troy.
237
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:55,589
It's amazing what lending someone
your eyeliner can get you.
238
00:18:58,203 --> 00:18:59,727
So Troy didn't have progeria.
239
00:18:59,905 --> 00:19:04,535
No, but his pituitary gland, which produces
a hormone that controls the aging process...
240
00:19:04,709 --> 00:19:08,873
...was completely drained. Like someone
just sucked the youth out of him.
241
00:19:09,047 --> 00:19:11,743
Well, that's quite an assumption,
Miss Sullivan.
242
00:19:13,518 --> 00:19:15,145
Principal Reynolds.
243
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,313
I was just running through
various scenarios, you know...
244
00:19:19,491 --> 00:19:22,688
...wild theories and stuff.
I'm shutting up now.
245
00:19:22,994 --> 00:19:26,395
Well, don't. I like my students
thinking outside the box.
246
00:19:26,798 --> 00:19:29,130
I've been reading back issues
of The Torch.
247
00:19:29,301 --> 00:19:32,168
I see a lot of creativity
and insight there.
248
00:19:32,337 --> 00:19:35,864
- You're kidding.
- Well, unverified insight.
249
00:19:36,041 --> 00:19:40,569
But many a Pulitzer has sprung
from the seeds of wild theories.
250
00:19:43,181 --> 00:19:45,046
Just make sure you can back
them up.
251
00:19:45,217 --> 00:19:49,278
That'll be the difference between
writing trash for The Inquisitor...
252
00:19:49,454 --> 00:19:52,423
...and reporting for The Daily Planet.
253
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:59,694
- Are you still up for that interview?
- Well, give me half an hour.
254
00:20:00,899 --> 00:20:02,730
Mr. Kent.
255
00:20:02,901 --> 00:20:05,335
I was actually looking for you.
256
00:20:06,404 --> 00:20:08,304
I'd like to see you in my office.
257
00:20:19,384 --> 00:20:24,845
- You look like you feel a little out of place.
- I've never been in the principal's office.
258
00:20:25,023 --> 00:20:29,050
You can start by sitting.
I'll cut right to the chase.
259
00:20:30,862 --> 00:20:32,853
I think you're a slacker.
260
00:20:33,031 --> 00:20:36,330
Quit the football team before you
played the first game...
261
00:20:36,501 --> 00:20:40,267
...chronic tardiness,
zero extracurriculars.
262
00:20:41,573 --> 00:20:45,441
I get very good grades and I write
for The Torch occasionally.
263
00:20:45,744 --> 00:20:48,474
Retyping the cafeteria menu
isn't exactly writing.
264
00:20:48,647 --> 00:20:51,480
I see a lot of untapped potential
in you, Mr. Kent.
265
00:20:51,816 --> 00:20:56,947
Mr. Reynolds, I don't understand, we just
met. How could you judge me so quickly?
266
00:20:57,122 --> 00:20:59,556
How do you know Lex Luthor?
267
00:21:00,425 --> 00:21:03,189
Well, he's a friend of mine. Why?
268
00:21:03,361 --> 00:21:05,727
A person is judged by
the company they keep.
269
00:21:05,897 --> 00:21:10,732
Lex Luthor doesn't have friends.
He sees people as a means towards an end.
270
00:21:10,902 --> 00:21:12,961
I don't think that's true.
271
00:21:13,505 --> 00:21:17,839
Time will tell. Frankly, I'm more interested
in your world. What are your goals?
272
00:21:18,009 --> 00:21:21,206
Well, I'd like to help people.
273
00:21:21,379 --> 00:21:22,676
Something like that.
274
00:21:22,847 --> 00:21:26,544
Helping people is a noble aspiration.
It's also rather vague.
275
00:21:26,718 --> 00:21:30,085
Where are you gonna be
five years from now?
276
00:21:30,989 --> 00:21:33,048
To tell the truth,
I'm not really sure.
277
00:21:33,224 --> 00:21:35,158
Well, I'm gonna help you to focus.
278
00:21:35,327 --> 00:21:39,764
I want you to write a five-page essay on
where you're gonna be five years from now.
279
00:21:39,931 --> 00:21:44,334
And I want it on my desk
by the end of the school day on Friday.
280
00:21:45,971 --> 00:21:48,371
Sir, why are you doing this to me?
281
00:21:50,075 --> 00:21:52,566
This isn't punishment, Mr. Kent.
282
00:21:52,744 --> 00:21:55,042
Consider it a challenge.
283
00:22:14,232 --> 00:22:17,998
Clark, hey. Just in time to volunteer
for the decorations committee.
284
00:22:18,169 --> 00:22:21,263
Actually, I've gotta finish my essay
for Mr. Reynolds.
285
00:22:21,439 --> 00:22:24,067
That's a bummer. What's it about?
286
00:22:24,743 --> 00:22:27,303
What the future theoretically
holds for me.
287
00:22:27,646 --> 00:22:30,308
Who cares about the future?
288
00:22:30,482 --> 00:22:33,451
- I like to think there's life after high school.
- Sure.
289
00:22:33,618 --> 00:22:37,554
Yeah, as in a job, responsibilities,
getting old.
290
00:22:48,667 --> 00:22:51,227
- Is everything all right?
- Of course.
291
00:22:52,604 --> 00:22:55,505
Krissy, we've got the lighting
the way you want it.
292
00:22:55,674 --> 00:22:58,905
Great. Let's see what you got.
293
00:23:05,350 --> 00:23:06,908
Let me guess.
294
00:23:07,085 --> 00:23:11,021
Reynolds wants to know where you
see yourself five years from now?
295
00:23:12,824 --> 00:23:15,622
He made me do that assignment
when I was at Excelsior.
296
00:23:15,794 --> 00:23:17,819
He's nothing if not consistent.
297
00:23:20,265 --> 00:23:23,496
He doesn't exactly have
a high opinion of you.
298
00:23:23,668 --> 00:23:28,935
I wasn't a model student, but imagine being
a bald 14-year-old in an elite prep school.
299
00:23:29,107 --> 00:23:32,599
- Must have been tough.
- I had a major chip on my shoulder.
300
00:23:32,777 --> 00:23:34,244
But Reynolds saw through it.
301
00:23:34,412 --> 00:23:39,042
He challenged me to own up to my actions,
not to assume the mantle of the rich kid.
302
00:23:39,217 --> 00:23:42,152
He was tough but fair.
I liked him for that.
303
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:47,815
I wish the feeling was mutual. Whatever he
has against you, he's taking it out on me.
304
00:23:48,059 --> 00:23:51,893
I'm sorry being friends with me
comes with such a high price.
305
00:23:53,965 --> 00:23:57,901
So exactly how long were you planning
to work on this essay?
306
00:23:59,104 --> 00:24:01,538
I'm just not ready to go home yet.
307
00:24:05,677 --> 00:24:09,374
- Something wrong?
- No, it's just family stuff.
308
00:24:09,647 --> 00:24:12,480
Come on, Clark, I'm the king
of family dysfunction.
309
00:24:14,686 --> 00:24:18,622
My father and grandfather hate each other,
and I feel caught in the middle.
310
00:24:18,790 --> 00:24:20,758
And you'd like to play peacemaker.
311
00:24:20,925 --> 00:24:24,383
Best thing to do is put them in a room
and let them fight it out.
312
00:24:24,562 --> 00:24:26,860
So you're saying I should
play hardball.
313
00:24:27,031 --> 00:24:28,931
That's up to you, but...
314
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:34,299
...it'll take that sort of determination to
bring your father and grandfather together.
315
00:24:38,510 --> 00:24:40,569
What do you think?
316
00:24:40,745 --> 00:24:43,373
Perfect.
317
00:24:43,681 --> 00:24:46,809
- Thank you for doing this, Russell.
- It's been a weird week.
318
00:24:46,985 --> 00:24:50,682
- Feels good to be doing something.
- I know you and Troy were friends.
319
00:24:52,090 --> 00:24:53,819
I really miss him.
320
00:24:56,161 --> 00:24:59,221
Well, that's why I came to see you,
Russell.
321
00:24:59,397 --> 00:25:01,388
For Troy.
322
00:25:03,434 --> 00:25:05,595
For the others.
323
00:25:05,770 --> 00:25:08,603
The others?
What are you talking about?
324
00:25:12,877 --> 00:25:15,368
The ones who will live inside me forever.
325
00:25:36,934 --> 00:25:38,299
Hey, Dad, got a minute?
326
00:25:38,469 --> 00:25:42,929
You gotta talk to me while we're working.
We got a lot to do before it gets dark.
327
00:25:43,107 --> 00:25:45,735
There's someone I want you to see.
328
00:25:52,583 --> 00:25:56,075
- Your mother put you up to this?
- No, this was all my idea.
329
00:25:56,254 --> 00:25:57,516
Don't blame the boy.
330
00:25:57,688 --> 00:26:01,317
The problems we have are between us.
Martha says you need help.
331
00:26:01,492 --> 00:26:02,789
I'm here to give it.
332
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:07,693
- So now you want to be part of this family?
- I don't want anything from you.
333
00:26:07,865 --> 00:26:11,392
I brought a check because
I won't watch my daughter suffer.
334
00:26:11,569 --> 00:26:15,198
- Couldn't resist turning that knife?
- Dad, give him a chance.
335
00:26:15,373 --> 00:26:18,365
- You two can work this out.
- I don't think so, son.
336
00:26:18,543 --> 00:26:21,671
It's just like 20 years ago,
the same argument and attitude.
337
00:26:21,846 --> 00:26:26,476
Not quite. It has been 20 years.
But everything I predicted has come true.
338
00:26:27,085 --> 00:26:31,021
I knew Martha was making
a big mistake when she married you.
339
00:26:31,189 --> 00:26:33,180
That's not true, Granddad.
340
00:26:33,658 --> 00:26:36,650
You'll have to swallow
your pride to save this farm.
341
00:26:36,828 --> 00:26:39,797
I don't need a lecture on how
to take care of my family.
342
00:26:39,964 --> 00:26:43,422
You're just as stubborn and pig-headed
as you were the day we met.
343
00:26:43,601 --> 00:26:45,626
You get off my land.
344
00:26:46,237 --> 00:26:48,034
Gladly.
345
00:26:48,573 --> 00:26:50,564
Granddad, wait.
346
00:26:51,242 --> 00:26:54,609
- It wasn't supposed to be like this.
- Just let him go, son.
347
00:26:55,313 --> 00:26:57,781
I know you had good intentions...
348
00:26:57,949 --> 00:27:00,042
...but some things just can't change.
349
00:27:03,387 --> 00:27:05,787
Let's unload the truck.
350
00:27:08,893 --> 00:27:11,760
- Clark, wait up.
- Hey.
351
00:27:13,664 --> 00:27:15,928
You look like the wind got
knocked out of you.
352
00:27:16,100 --> 00:27:18,864
I'm just dealing with
some family issues.
353
00:27:19,170 --> 00:27:20,637
You want to talk about it?
354
00:27:20,805 --> 00:27:23,137
The more I talk about it,
the worse they get.
355
00:27:23,307 --> 00:27:26,970
Did you guys hear about Russell?
They found his body behind the Talon.
356
00:27:27,145 --> 00:27:29,613
- What happened?
- He aged, like, 100 years.
357
00:27:29,780 --> 00:27:33,181
The police thought it was a homeless guy
until they found his ID.
358
00:27:33,351 --> 00:27:36,013
Two progeria deaths in two days,
what are the odds?
359
00:27:36,187 --> 00:27:40,590
Lana wanted to cancel the Spirit Week party
but Principal Reynolds asked her not to.
360
00:27:40,758 --> 00:27:43,124
He said he wanted to
keep things normal.
361
00:27:43,294 --> 00:27:47,754
He obviously hasn't had his normal meter
reset for Smallville.
362
00:27:54,238 --> 00:27:57,833
- What is it, Clark?
- I saw Russell with Krissy at the Talon.
363
00:27:58,009 --> 00:28:00,239
Troy was with her
before he went geriatric.
364
00:28:00,611 --> 00:28:03,705
- It's not exactly a smoking gun.
- It's worth a look.
365
00:28:03,881 --> 00:28:07,442
We could check out her old records.
See if there's anything strange.
366
00:28:07,618 --> 00:28:10,485
I'll get started
and I'll tell you what I find.
367
00:28:18,029 --> 00:28:20,156
Interesting choice.
368
00:28:20,364 --> 00:28:22,423
The Count of Monte Cristo.
369
00:28:23,868 --> 00:28:27,736
Classic tale of a man whose past
comes back to haunt him.
370
00:28:29,473 --> 00:28:31,907
Why are you here, Lex?
371
00:28:33,911 --> 00:28:36,675
We're upgrading our computer system
at the plant.
372
00:28:36,847 --> 00:28:40,044
Thought we might donate our
old computers to Smallville High.
373
00:28:40,451 --> 00:28:42,476
You are not an alumnus.
374
00:28:42,753 --> 00:28:44,846
Call it a thank-you.
375
00:28:46,691 --> 00:28:50,923
You pushed me.
And in hindsight, I appreciate that.
376
00:28:51,095 --> 00:28:54,258
In some ways, you're responsible
for the man I am today.
377
00:28:54,432 --> 00:28:58,027
I'm not sure that's a burden
I care to take on.
378
00:28:58,202 --> 00:29:02,229
Besides the tax deduction,
what's the quid pro quo?
379
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,838
Now, why do you think
I want anything in return?
380
00:29:06,010 --> 00:29:10,310
Because I've learned there's always a price
when dealing with the Luthors.
381
00:29:11,816 --> 00:29:16,082
I want you to stop turning your antagonism
towards me against Clark Kent.
382
00:29:17,922 --> 00:29:19,913
Lionel has taught you well.
383
00:29:20,091 --> 00:29:23,857
- My father?
- Yes. This meeting?
384
00:29:24,028 --> 00:29:27,725
It reminds me of the incident
that almost got you expelled.
385
00:29:27,898 --> 00:29:31,459
- He had nothing to do with that.
- No, only later.
386
00:29:32,136 --> 00:29:34,798
After receiving notice of
your expulsion hearing...
387
00:29:34,972 --> 00:29:39,705
...he generously offered the school's
trustees a new library, with two conditions:
388
00:29:39,877 --> 00:29:44,314
That you were allowed to stay,
and I was allowed to go.
389
00:29:46,884 --> 00:29:51,344
History has an interesting way
of repeating itself, doesn't it?
390
00:30:02,700 --> 00:30:05,294
Clark, I hope I'm not interrupting.
391
00:30:05,636 --> 00:30:10,903
No, I could use the inspiration. I thought
you'd be swamped with party prep by now.
392
00:30:11,075 --> 00:30:14,704
I was heading over to the Talon,
but this arrived at my house.
393
00:30:16,647 --> 00:30:20,344
I asked Lex to look into those photos
of my mother.
394
00:30:20,985 --> 00:30:23,476
You think there's more to it
than meets the eye?
395
00:30:23,654 --> 00:30:27,181
I don't know, he sent me this.
I haven't opened it yet.
396
00:30:27,358 --> 00:30:30,885
As badly as I want the truth,
I'm afraid I won't like what I find.
397
00:30:31,062 --> 00:30:32,996
Why the change of heart?
398
00:30:33,164 --> 00:30:36,930
The image of my parents the way
I thought they were is all I have.
399
00:30:37,101 --> 00:30:39,592
You don't want to lose that.
400
00:30:39,770 --> 00:30:42,534
Maybe just by doubting, I already have.
401
00:30:45,543 --> 00:30:48,444
How are things with your grandfather?
402
00:30:48,612 --> 00:30:50,409
"Disaster" is an understatement.
403
00:30:50,581 --> 00:30:54,745
I took him to see my father.
It was like watching history repeat itself.
404
00:30:54,919 --> 00:30:56,409
So, what's next?
405
00:30:57,288 --> 00:30:59,313
I hate to see it end like this.
406
00:30:59,490 --> 00:31:02,550
But I can't control the way
they act around each other.
407
00:31:02,727 --> 00:31:04,285
Are you gonna try again?
408
00:31:04,795 --> 00:31:09,323
I can't do anything about the past.
Maybe I can do something about the future.
409
00:31:15,973 --> 00:31:18,464
- Clark.
- I don't want our relationship to end...
410
00:31:18,642 --> 00:31:21,270
...before it ever had a chance to begin.
411
00:31:21,746 --> 00:31:24,613
Well, you can come in
if you want.
412
00:31:25,816 --> 00:31:29,843
But you'll have to excuse me,
I'm running a little late.
413
00:31:33,891 --> 00:31:36,917
There's something I wanted
to show you.
414
00:31:37,728 --> 00:31:39,161
It's our photo album.
415
00:31:39,330 --> 00:31:44,165
School plays, camping trips, backyard
activities, stuff that families do together.
416
00:31:47,304 --> 00:31:50,102
I wanted you to see our family
the way I do.
417
00:31:50,274 --> 00:31:52,799
We're more than old arguments
and overdue bills.
418
00:31:55,146 --> 00:31:57,671
I'd like you to give this
to your mother.
419
00:31:57,848 --> 00:32:01,648
It's a cashier's check. Tell her she can
use it now, a year from now...
420
00:32:01,819 --> 00:32:06,188
...whenever she needs it.
- Why don't you give it to her yourself?
421
00:32:06,657 --> 00:32:08,147
I'm sorry, Clark.
422
00:32:08,526 --> 00:32:13,896
I don't understand how a man who hasn't
seen his family in 20 years can walk away.
423
00:32:22,139 --> 00:32:26,303
- Krissy, I need to talk to you.
- Is there a problem, Mr. Reynolds?
424
00:32:26,477 --> 00:32:29,537
I left three messages for your parents,
still no answer.
425
00:32:29,713 --> 00:32:31,146
They've been really busy.
426
00:32:31,315 --> 00:32:34,546
- Is this still about my transcripts?
- And you.
427
00:32:34,785 --> 00:32:38,277
I've been making an effort to get
to know the students and parents.
428
00:32:38,456 --> 00:32:41,687
Maybe I can come by your house
this weekend when they're home.
429
00:32:41,859 --> 00:32:44,054
They'll be at the Talon for the rally.
430
00:32:44,228 --> 00:32:49,359
- You could meet us there before the party.
- That'll be fine, see you there.
431
00:33:05,549 --> 00:33:07,915
Where have you been?
I left you six messages.
432
00:33:08,085 --> 00:33:12,613
- Sorry, it's been a weird day.
- Well, it's about to get weirder. Take a look.
433
00:33:12,790 --> 00:33:15,190
Florida, 12 years ago,
Piper High School.
434
00:33:15,359 --> 00:33:18,988
Three students died of the same
mysterious? Ber-progeria.
435
00:33:19,163 --> 00:33:22,189
All in a 48-hour period.
Let me guess, Krissy was involved.
436
00:33:22,533 --> 00:33:24,467
Try "Missy."
437
00:33:25,002 --> 00:33:27,095
Class of '90, Missy Parker.
438
00:33:27,271 --> 00:33:30,672
- Different name, same face.
- Yeah, it gets better.
439
00:33:31,141 --> 00:33:34,235
Lakewood High, Class of '81...
There she is again.
440
00:33:35,513 --> 00:33:39,108
You won't believe this. I matched Krissy
to triple progeria cases...
441
00:33:39,283 --> 00:33:42,878
...going back to Hammond
School for Girls, class of 1921.
442
00:33:43,053 --> 00:33:45,521
It's like she feeds off youth
to stay young.
443
00:33:45,689 --> 00:33:49,284
Takes the Peter Pan complex
to a whole new level.
444
00:33:49,460 --> 00:33:53,692
Troy was killed almost two days ago,
Russell was killed yesterday.
445
00:33:53,864 --> 00:33:56,924
- Krissy's gonna need another victim.
- I'll call the police.
446
00:34:00,604 --> 00:34:02,367
Clark?
447
00:34:20,857 --> 00:34:22,586
Krissy?
448
00:34:36,473 --> 00:34:38,407
Krissy?
449
00:34:39,609 --> 00:34:41,577
Mr. Reynolds.
450
00:34:41,745 --> 00:34:43,804
So, what do you think?
451
00:34:43,980 --> 00:34:47,939
I think you've taken Spirit Week
to a whole new level.
452
00:34:48,718 --> 00:34:53,052
- Are your parents here yet?
- Actually, Mr. Reynolds...
453
00:34:53,223 --> 00:34:55,384
...they died. Over a century ago.
454
00:34:55,792 --> 00:34:57,453
What are you talking about?
455
00:34:57,627 --> 00:35:01,620
See, I've seen the future, Mr. Reynolds,
again and again...
456
00:35:01,798 --> 00:35:03,959
...and I've learned one thing:
457
00:35:08,872 --> 00:35:12,899
These are the best years
of anyone's life.
458
00:35:18,748 --> 00:35:21,216
Clark, thought you were the band.
459
00:35:21,485 --> 00:35:25,979
If they don't show, we're stuck with
a half-dozen MP3s and my boom box.
460
00:35:26,156 --> 00:35:28,351
Have you seen Krissy?
461
00:35:28,525 --> 00:35:31,961
Yeah, she was just here.
462
00:35:40,804 --> 00:35:45,207
- What's going on?
- Just go lock the door, don't let anyone in.
463
00:35:47,344 --> 00:35:50,279
Krissy, stop!
I know what's going on.
464
00:35:50,714 --> 00:35:52,375
You need help.
465
00:35:53,750 --> 00:35:56,218
I need him.
466
00:36:01,424 --> 00:36:04,518
I'm not gonna let you
hurt anyone else.
467
00:36:04,694 --> 00:36:07,219
I am saving them, Clark.
468
00:36:07,397 --> 00:36:10,855
From lives that will never be as happy
as they are right now.
469
00:36:11,168 --> 00:36:15,127
- There's more to life than cheerleading.
- You're wrong.
470
00:36:16,006 --> 00:36:20,909
You will never be this young,
this beautiful...
471
00:36:21,778 --> 00:36:24,406
...or this perfect again.
472
00:36:25,415 --> 00:36:27,542
But I will.
473
00:37:04,921 --> 00:37:07,014
- More bills, huh, Dad?
- Yeah.
474
00:37:07,190 --> 00:37:09,886
Seems like these darned things
keep right on coming.
475
00:37:10,060 --> 00:37:13,086
Clark, you've had quite a week.
Any fallout from school?
476
00:37:13,263 --> 00:37:16,699
- Spirit Week is officially kaput.
- I'm sorry to hear that.
477
00:37:16,866 --> 00:37:18,265
Principal's gonna be okay.
478
00:37:18,435 --> 00:37:22,098
He warned me about being late
when they loaded him into the ambulance.
479
00:37:22,572 --> 00:37:26,303
I know the situation with your grandpa
is bugging you. It should, but...
480
00:37:26,476 --> 00:37:28,876
I went to go see him.
481
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,376
He asked me to give this to you.
482
00:37:36,853 --> 00:37:40,448
He said he tried to get involved
in my life after the adoption.
483
00:37:40,624 --> 00:37:43,218
Why wouldn't you let him see me?
484
00:37:43,393 --> 00:37:44,792
Well, it's complicated.
485
00:37:44,961 --> 00:37:48,055
It can't be that complicated,
he's my grandfather.
486
00:37:49,366 --> 00:37:52,335
Clark, when you were a little boy...
487
00:37:52,502 --> 00:37:55,437
...you couldn't control
your abilities like now.
488
00:37:55,605 --> 00:38:00,201
If he'd spent any time with us, I think
he might have found out your secret.
489
00:38:00,377 --> 00:38:01,742
He's family.
490
00:38:01,911 --> 00:38:05,608
We had such a history of disagreeing
on things...
491
00:38:05,782 --> 00:38:08,273
...we just didn't know how he'd react.
492
00:38:08,451 --> 00:38:11,784
We couldn't be sure we could trust him.
493
00:38:12,255 --> 00:38:15,588
So he's not a part of our lives
because of me?
494
00:38:16,293 --> 00:38:20,855
Son, every young man wants to have
a relationship with his grandpa.
495
00:38:21,264 --> 00:38:24,825
But in your case,
it just may not be possible.
496
00:38:36,613 --> 00:38:38,080
Lana.
497
00:38:38,381 --> 00:38:41,578
- Working on something important?
- Just finished my essay.
498
00:38:41,751 --> 00:38:46,518
- So where you gonna be in five years?
- In college, probably studying journalism.
499
00:38:47,090 --> 00:38:48,819
You're kidding.
500
00:38:48,992 --> 00:38:51,517
Don't tell Chloe,
but I think it's growing on me.
501
00:38:51,695 --> 00:38:55,927
I like to find the truth behind things.
I'm tired of having secrets in my life.
502
00:38:56,099 --> 00:38:57,464
And personally?
503
00:39:00,470 --> 00:39:05,271
I've decided I'm gonna find a way to have
a relationship with my grandfather.
504
00:39:06,476 --> 00:39:09,172
How about you, is everything okay?
505
00:39:09,879 --> 00:39:12,473
Clark, I read Lex's file.
506
00:39:12,649 --> 00:39:16,244
According to court papers,
my parents filed for divorce in 1985.
507
00:39:16,419 --> 00:39:18,353
Irreconcilable differences.
508
00:39:18,521 --> 00:39:21,354
- But they worked it out, right?
- Eventually.
509
00:39:21,524 --> 00:39:24,584
But they were legally separated
for over a year.
510
00:39:25,362 --> 00:39:28,820
- So the guy in the picture...?
- Could be more than a friend.
511
00:39:32,102 --> 00:39:35,765
I was born right after my parents
got back together.
512
00:39:38,608 --> 00:39:41,236
My father could still be alive.
