Thirty one, forty two!
Hut!
And the cows take the state championship!
I knew you were talented, I didn't know you could see in the future.
- I was just practicing. - Oh, it's good.
It's good to visualize game-winning plays
when the coach from Metropolis University is coming to the game on Friday night
to check out the new star quarterback.
- Are you kidding me? - I don't kid about football.
That's great, I mean..
You okay?
Coach, I'll take care of him. Thanks for stopping by, that's great news.
Clark.
- Clark, what's the matter, son? - I hear ringing.
- Can you tell me where it's coming from? - I have to go.
Clark!
You don't look well, dad.
Forget to take your vitamins?
I know how deeply angry you are, Lex.
You let them put me in this godforsaken place because of that anger.
But it's too late to change anything now.
So I've heard.
A month left before your liver gives up on you for good.
Why, you didn't think I'd trek all the way out here
without having a chat with your doctor?
I wanted to see you, Lex, to say goodbye face to face.
I have done many things in my life
that I have come to regret
but there is one thing I'll never forgive myself.
I never said
I love you.
Please.
Lex, no!
Clark?
What?
- What? - Right there.
What are you doing? What are you doing?
Wait.
Let me go!
Let go of me! Lex, Lex!
Let go of me!
What the hell are you doing here?
Your father, he wanted to see me.
Did he ask you to tackle me to the floor while you're at it?
He had something sharp, Lexie, a knife.
Let him go.
Let's get out of here, Lex.
Now.
Clark, you don't seem like your usual self.
You barely said a word the entire ride home.
Sorry.
Being in that prison I guess it upset me.
Yeah, well, it isn't exactly the happiest place on earth.
No. It isn't, Lex.
Do you ever feel guilty?
About sending your father to prison, I mean.
Why would I? The man murdered his parents.
I did society a favor.
And that blood relationship, it doesn't mean anything to you?
Clark, since when did you become president of my father's fan club?
You're right. Of course.
He's only your father.
Why should you feel anything?
Hey, Clark.
- Dad? - Yeah, come. Come on over here, son.
I'm glad you're back.
Your mother and I were really getting worried about you.
- Are you feeling alright? - I feel fine.
Oh, well, that's a relief.
It's never a good sign when people around here start hearing strange noises.
Look, since you're here, why don't you give me a hand? Lift it on up.
Lift?
Lift what?
The tractor. It's been giving me trouble all week.
I need to check out the rear end, come on. Lift it up.
How would I do that?
You're very funny, Clark, but I don't have all day.
Lift up the tractor, please, come on.
Let's go!
It's really nice, but I'm not 5'4".
Lift it up over your head. I need to get under the back.
Alright, that ought to do it.
Of course.
Yeah. It all makes sense now.
What's that?
It's just...
Boy, is it dirty under here.
Are you sure you're alright?
Never felt better in my life.
Oh, you must be Lex.
Lex? No, I'm not Lex. I'm Clark Kent.
Houston, we have a problem.
That stone was meant for Lex.
Where did Lionel get this?
- I don't know. - Please, you have to tell me.
It came from this Mayan rain god statue.
The one of his teams found it in an underwater ruin off the coast of Honduras.
- How did he know to search there? - Oh, he's scouring the globe, yeah.
These ancient symbols, they've shown up in Egypt,
Central America, even a sacred Indian cave right here in Kansas.
These symbols, they look like they mean something.
Oh, yeah, you better believe it.
The the mark on your stone right there that means water.
That's the element of, you know, transformation.
How do you know that?
I've always kinda had a thing for pattern recognition,
codes and ciphers, that sort of thing.
Yeah, that one means fire and the other one up there, that's air.
So you take the three and you put them together.
Mayan legend says it leads you to a trove of knowledge beyond your wildest dreams.
Well, I didn't believe any of this myself until 58 minutes and 14 seconds ago
when a myth about body jumping suddenly became... real.
Okay. It's hard to argue with it now. Well, stranger things have happened.
What did you do to end up in here?
If you ask the DA I embezzled 14 million dollars
from the Princeton University pension fund.
- Did you do it? - I'm a mathematician.
I'm looking for hidden patterns in the Dead Sea scrolls.
No, money, it really doesn't mean a lot to me.
You know what happened? I was framed.
And you just happened to end up in this prison, in Lionel Luthor's cell?
Yeah. Yeah, that was pretty lucky, huh?
All I have to do is give him a hand with a couple of these symbols
and he set me up with his lawyers, you know?
They're still trying to get me out of here. I just hope he lasts long enough.
What do you mean?
He's dying.
Yeah, he's dying.
Mathematically speaking, you know, it's happening.
If he's dying, then...
That means
I'm gonna die.
How may I help you, sir?
This...
This is Lionel Luthor.
Account number 434690.
I'd like to liquidate my account, my entire account
and purchase bearer bonds.
- Mother's maiden name, Mr. Luthor? - Mehan.
And what is your...
Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Luthor, there seems to be a problem with your voice verification.
What?
Clark!
Martha?
I know you're practically a grown man, Clark
but please call me mom no matter how old you are.
Sure. Sure.
Dinner's ready, but the way you're dressed are you going out?
No.
I just wanted a change, I'm bored with plaid.
Well, I'll see you inside.
- Clark, what are you doing? - Well, I...
I just...
wanted to tell you how beautiful you look today, mom.
Something is not right.
I can see it in your eyes.
Is it because of that ringing you heard?
I don't know.
I need a hug.
What's gotten into you?
I don't know.
Well, jump down there and put it out.
Put it out?
How?
With your hands?
Hey, mom.
Hey! Hey, go upstairs and clean up.
Hey, Clark, look who came to check up on you.
How are you feeling? It's good to see you up and around.
- I feel fine. - You sure?
Cause you're looking at me like you have absolutely no idea who I am.
No, I know who you are.
You're my coach.
Alright, well, I guess I'll see you at practice tomorrow.
Yeah, you know, I'm not gonna be able to make it.
It's pretty important
considering you could clinch a scholarship on Friday.
Coach, I need to rethink my priorities, alright?
I have no interest in football whatsoever.
Clark, hey.
You realize that every player on that roster would kill to be in your position.
And you get a free ride to a college of your choice.
- You just wanna quit the team? - Precisely.
Edgar. I've got to make a call. How do I do that?
Well, once a week, you get a turn unless you know how to work the system
which, of course, I do.
Edgar, please.
I need you to help me.
- What's in it for me? - I can get you out of here.
C'mon, if the real Lionel Luthor can't do it, what are you going to do?
I mean, you have no money you have no power.
I have a lot more power than you think.
Time to play who wants to beat a billionaire!
Yeah, here we go now!
- You got my five large? - What?
- What are you talking about? - That senile act isn't gonna work, Trump.
- Payment's past due. - Things have changed.
I don't have any money. You have to...
Don't play me, Trump. I'm doing three life terms for murder.
What's one more?
You got till tomorrow.
Lex changed the password.
What, is flannel too five minutes ago?
Who pulled a Paul Bunyan on the desk?
It was that way when I got here.
Weird.
You know, Chloe, I'm concerned about your well being.
Oh, yeah? Why is that?
If Lionel Luthor managed somehow to get out of prison what do you suppose he'd do?
- About you, I mean. - Why?
Has the Lionel Luthor alert suddenly been elevated to orange?
Do you know something I don't?
No, but it always pays to be cautious.
Well, I'm not exactly shaking in my sneakers.
I mean, he won't be eligible for parole until he's like 112, so...
You never know.
He could get out sooner than you think.
Yeah, well, I think maybe our quarterback
has been sacked one too many times.
Maybe.
I do feel as though I'm looking through a different pair of eyes.
I certainly see you in a whole new light.
Well, what exactly is that supposed to mean?
I have to confess that I...
I find you absolutely fascinating.
It's that twinkle in your eye,
your wonderfully sexy smile.
- And your skin, it's... - Clark, what are you doing?
What I've wanted to do for a very, very long time.
Don't you wish...
Ms. Sullivan?
I did some research on the Countess Theroux.
It turns out that we have a lot more in common than I thought.
Don't tell me the countess ran a coffee shop.
No, she's from this village in France Casa Neaux de Montmiral
same village that my mom's ancestors came from.
Really? What do you think it all means?
I don't know. It's all really strange.
She was buried as a martyr, but...
she was burned as a witch.
We will figure this out. I promise.
Ladies.
Not bad.
You are my main concern, Lana.
We'll get through this countess thing together.
Oh, please, don't stop on my account.
- No, Clark, it's... - Lana.
Oh, you don't have to explain yourself to me... Lana.
You're young, vital, you have needs.
Right, coach?
What do you think?
I wanted to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule, Mr. Luthor.
I understand how time consuming making license plates can be.
You're not gonna touch me with that rock in your hand.
You won't get near me, not with my speed.
- You're never gonna get away with this. - Oh, but I am.
With my mind, and your body, the sky's the limit, Clark.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You know it's becoming clear to me why you're so secretive.
You understand that true power is better left concealed.
No matter how hard you try, you'll never be me.
My parents, my friends, they'll see right through you.
I'm not so sure. They haven't so far, have they?
I need you to do something for me.
Say the name Mehan and these numbers.
Why?
Because if you don't your good friend, Lex,
will very shortly be dead an unfortunate accident.
But he's your son, your only child!
And I'm his only father
but that didn't stop him from putting me in prison
and robbing me of everything I had.
Now speak the words into the recorder
or you will be directly responsible for your friend's death.
Your account number, please.
4-3-4-6-9-0.
May I please have your mother's maiden name?
Mehan.
Voice verification complete.
Account balance is 2 dollars and 59 cents.
No. No, no.
There was 57 million US dollars in that account.
A withdrawal for that amount was made two months ago.
- The day I was convicted. - Sir?
Lex.
Of course.
Clark?
This one.
About last night...
I'm sorry that you found out about me and Jason the way that you did.
You'll get over it.
We didn't just meet.
He was in Paris over the summer and we sort of spent a lot of time together.
How romantic!
Lovers meeting, first kiss shared on the banks of the river Seine.
He moved to Smallville to be with me, Clark.
It's kind of serious.
I'm not surprised.
A man would travel around the world to...
pluck your succulent fruit.
Don't talk to me like that.
I can't help it. I'm sorry.
Clark, I need you to promise me something.
- Whatever you want. - Don't tell anyone about me and Jason.
I don't understand why you're so interested
in this high school football coach. Think a minute.
Do you have any idea what I have to offer you?
Yeah, yeah, I think I do.
Lies and secrecy and a whole lot of confusion.
You're the one that broke up with me, remember?
Well, that was a mistake.
I was too young to know what I was doing. I'm older now, more mature.
Well, I'm not so sure.
Oh, Lana I'm very different, let me show you.
Who the hell do you think you are?
Clark Kent.
Of course.
Step in please. Five minutes.
I'm glad you came.
I'm only here because you told me it involved the safety of my son.
I know this is hard to believe, but I swear it's the truth.
- It's me, mom, it's Clark. - You're sick, Lionel. You...
- Mom, you have to believe me. - I'm leaving!
Mom, mom, no, mom.
Remember when I was six and I was playing tag with dad
and all of a sudden I started running faster than I'd ever run before
and I was in the middle of Palmer Woods
completely lost and you and dad had to call Sheriff Ethan.
And when you saw me, you started crying.
And I thought something was wrong with me
and you said, no there wasn't and then you held me in your arms
and you told me I was just special.
- I'm your special boy... - Special boy. Clark! How?
The ringing I heard, it came from a stone.
It was in Lionel's hand
and it had a Kryptonian symbol on it
and it was glowing and I thought it was gonna hurt Lex
so I got in between them.
And the next thing I know I was... Lionel.
I was in Lionel's body.
And he knows about your powers. Honey...
No. Mom, be careful.
Lionel could be anywhere.
Crunching numbers... or spinning daydreams?
I don't remember you being a scotch drinker.
Oh, it's very difficult to resist a 29-year-old Thailand.
You know, I had a feeling you'd pillage your father's collection of single malts.
Now, how do you know it's from my dad?
Isn't it all your dad's?
This castle?
Luthorcorp, the cars, the jets, everything
to the very cuff links in your sleeves.
Clark, I know you well enough to realize this isn't you talking.
You're absolutely right. I'm not myself.
I'm under stress.
Lex, I need to get my hands on 57 million dollars.
That's an interesting dollar amount.
It's not your money, you stole it.
Now I want it back.
Now, get on the phone.
Tell the bank to wire the money or I'll snap your larynx like a twig.
Alright?
Go ahead. Kill me.
All I wanted was the best for you and you destroyed me.
Dad?
Lex..
- Hello. - I was trying to reach you.
- Where have you been? - Hi, sweetheart, I..
- I was at the mechanic's, the tractor... - Jonathan, listen to me.
You've gotta, you've gotta go to the closet and get a meteor rock.
- What are you talking about, Martha? - Lionel is in Clark's body!
I thought I was invulnerable now but I was wrong.
- Jonathan! - Tell me what weakens me.
What is it?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Tell me what it is, Jonathan.
No, no, Martha can't help you now. Tell me what it is.
Hi, you've reached the Kents. Leave a message.
Hey, hello, does this thing work?
Hello? I'm calling for someone named Clark.
Houston, we have a problem.
I've done some more reading, and it's not good.
Oh, I hope you're getting this cause you should come see me ASAP.
Is that really you in there, Lionel?
No, it's the Easter Bunny. What did you find?
What did the rest of the codes say?
It turns out, the transference is eventually going to come to an end.
You will revert back to your original bodies, eventually.
- When? - Suppose it could happen at anytime.
Yeah, I thought you'd wanna know that.
There must be some way to make it permanent.
Well, no, no, none that I see well, save murder.
I mean, theoretically speaking if you were to, you know, kill the other you
then there would be no you for you to revert back to
so, yeah, I suppose you could be Clark Kent
for the rest of your life, you know, his life.
Your life, well, really the difference is nil at that point...
- The artifact, where is it? - Oh, yeah.
The guards took it from me. Yeah, they thought it was a weapon.
Time's up, Trump. You got something for me?
I'm, yeah, I'm still working on it. Just give me a few more days.
You think this is some kind of game? There's no overtime here,
but there is sudden death.
Here we go, man!
Get him!
This is a lockdown! I repeat, this is a lockdown!
Return to your cells immediately!
Go, go, go!
Oh, that's never good. Listen, your lawyers, they haven't been calling.
So, should I call you?
What happened to concealing your powers?
Sorry. Only one Clark allowed.
What are you gonna do?
Go to high school stack hay for the rest of your life?
A farm boy? I don't think so.
I have big plans for this Clark Kent.
What else did Lionel do?
Well, for starters
you quit the football team.
I better call coach Teague.
He's not the only one.
Lana and Chloe came by to see you and they both looked pretty upset.
Before I do any of that, I gotta get that artifact.
Clark, I don't want you going anywhere near that prison, son.
If I don't find it, Lionel could.
You can't risk having the same thing happen to you all over again.
Look, this isn't the first time I heard the ringing sound.
When I was Kal-El, I heard the same sound
and it led me to an artifact with a Kryptonian symbol on it in Lex's jet.
Where's the artifact now, Clark?
I put it in a chamber in the cave wall.
There's a slot for two more and Lionel's artifact matches one of them.
I don't know where the other one is.
Why didn't you tell us about this earlier?
With everything we've been through with Jor-El
I just wanted to close that chapter in my life.
Guess it doesn't matter what I want.
Look, these artifacts, I think they're somehow meant for me.
And I think Lionel Luthor would disagree with that, don't you?
And now that he knows about your powers he's more dangerous than ever.
Not for long.
- Clark, what are you talking about? - Lionel Luthor's dying, dad.
It couldn't be.
Doctor, please just tell me.
Mr. Luthor, your liver is entirely disease-free.
- How can that be possible? - I have no idea.
It's the closest thing to a miracle I've ever seen.
Have you been taking any unregulated meds, supplements?
No. Not that I know of.
You must understand, I have no recollection of the past few days, doctor.
I just know that something here, something
inside of me has changed
profoundly.
I'm not the same man.
Chloe, listen, I'm not really sure what I did to you.
- Another convenient case of amnesia, huh? - No, but whatever it is, I'm really sorry.
Clark, you know what? It's a really valiant effort,
but you've used up your lifetime allotment of apologies.
Look, I'm only saying this to you because I care about you
but I think you should go and look for help.
Some psychological help.
Chloe, I totally appreciate you looking out for me
but I really don't think I need to talk to anyone.
Then how are you gonna explain all of this? Clark Kent, crackhead?
- I don't do drugs! Look, it wasn't me! - Yeah, but see, Clark, it was you.
Now, a lot of people in this town have pulled a Jekyll and Hyde
but deep down, they're still the same person.
Lana, he's all yours.
Have you said anything to anyone?
- What? - Don't play games with me.
Seriously, Lana. I have no idea what you're talking about.
This isn't about you and me, alright? This is about Jason losing his job.
- Why would Jason lose his job? - Why do you think?
If anyone had the slightest inkling that we were a couple
he'd be fired in a heartbeat.
You and Jason?
We're both adults and we're not hurting anybody
but the school has its rules.
He needs this job, Clark.
Please, you know, after everything
that you've put me through, can you at least keep this a secret?
It seems to be the one thing that you were good at.
Yeah.
Lex!
Stay where you are!
Lex, it's me, Clark. I need to talk to you.
After I drove my Porsche into the river and you fished me out
I asked your dad if there was any way I could repay him.
What did he say that we always joke about?
- Lex, what is this, a pop quiz? - Answer the question!
He told you to drive slower.
Welcome back.
So you know what happened.
Well, it was a bit of a giveaway when you asked for $57 million dollars.
Lex, my mom told me what I did and I'm sorry.
Clark, if you didn't come between me and my father in that visiting room,
it would've been me sitting behind bars. I should be thanking you.
I didn't do anything you wouldn't have done for me.
So how did my father do it?
I don't know.
That strength you had
it was incredible.
Where did it come from?
It must have been a side effect of the transference.
Well, whatever happened, I'm just glad it wore off.
- Lex, I have a favor to ask. - Name it.
Well, it has to do with your father's cellmate.
He's the one that helped me through this whole ordeal, he saved my life.
He swears he was framed.
Clark, a lot of convicts swear they've been framed.
But I believe him. And I promised him that if I got out
I'd do everything in my power to help him.
You're the only one that I know with the resources that might be able to help.
Well, if I can manage to put a guilty man in prison,
maybe I can get an innocent man out.
I wasn't told that it was gonna...
- Edgar. - Yeah? Yes?
Do you have what we asked you for?
Thank you.
It's a nice car.
