Previously on smallville
clark, i'm happy you're in my life.
Well, i'm happy to
be in your life, kara.
Kara never came back
from krypton, did she?
- you'll never see her again.
- you killed her.
Oh, no, something much worse.
We all have some part of us that
we hold underneath the surface.
Even i do.
If this is because of brainiac,
then we don't know what can happen!
This is my life.
I'm
choosing to look at this as a gift.
It was stolen.
Only a handful of people
knew about that device.
When i find out who has
it, i'm taking it back.
Where did you go?
A place i never want to go again.
Lois.
Handle with care, smallville.
I've had those albums since i was 10.
What could i possibly want
with your def leppard anthology?
I'm taking you up on your offer.
Just like old times you,
me, "guitar hero" weekends.
I'm moving in.
Really?
Uh, you didn't like it here.
Remember?
The rooster woke you up every morning.
Yeah, but at least the
rooster only crows once.
You try sharing walls with
pre-wedding chloe and jimmy.
I didn't need to know that.
But you think it's a good idea
that we live and work together?
Carpooler's dream.
Come on.
What's the worst
thing that could happen
i'd see you in your snoopy boxers?
Oh, i, uh, found this on your doorstep.
Guess ma kent is still gonna
make you, uh, care packages.
I think she put lead in the cookies.
There's no return address.
That's weird.
What's the funky paperweight for?
I'm not sure.
At least it came with batteries.
Lois, get away!
Run! Get out!
Smallville, just drop it!
Smallville 808
hello? Lois?
Can you remind me again why
we're moving stuff you never use?
Not exactly the bachelor
pad i had imagined.
Is clark expecting you, or is this
another one of your daily break-ins?
You keep holding on tight
to that grudge, chloe.
What's with all the broken glass?
Is everything okay?
Everything except for the
bird that flew into the window.
Bird?
All that brainpower, and
that's what you come up with.
It was a large bird.
In fact, lois and clark are out
buying a new pane as we speak.
Where's the crystal?
You're still looking for that thing?
Because i can assure you
that no nasa-caliber rock
is just gonna pop up in
some innocuous cornfield.
Actually, that's exactly what it did.
My frequency generator
recorded an energy surge
about two inches from
where you're standing.
Well, i can't speak on behalf
of your "frequency generator,"
but on behalf of logic, clark's
the copyboy in your newspaper.
What would he would want
with some supercomputer?
More appropriately, what do
you want with clark kent, hmm?
Look at you.
So eager to cover his tracks.
Blind loyalty can be dangerous, chloe.
That means a lot coming from
the protege of lex luthor.
Lois.
Lois!
Are you okay?
Where are we?
Let's get you up.
What the hell?
Look, i'm no astronomy major, but i thought
there was only supposed to be one sun in the sky.
Come on.
We got to keep moving.
Clark, i don't think you understand.
- we're not on earth.
- that's impossible, lois.
How many spaceships does
a girl need to stumble upon
to convince you that
there are aliens among us?
Clark, we've been abducted!
Venezuela? When does he land?
Okay, can you have oliver
call me immediately?
It's urgent.
Thanks.
Um, this a bad time?
It's just one of those days
when i feel like my friends
have left the planet.
Um, can i actually
call you a little later?
I, uh, remember what you said.
I don't mean to violate
your no-fly zone, but
my blackouts are getting worse.
Are you okay?
I thought if i could
find my birth parents,
they'd answer some questions, but i'm starting
to feel like i just fell out of the sky.
I highly doubt that.
Here,
let me see what you brought me.
That is my life story.
That's a list
of all known schools and foster homes.
Jones, webber, pearson,
vogal, mcbride, moss.
I mean, i know you
leapfrogged homes as a kid,
but your family tree is
more like the redwood forest.
The problem is i can't find anything
on the first three years of my life.
That is weird.
Yeah, so, um
how about it, chloe? Do you want
to dust off your reporter's hat
and help a guy out?
Come on, lois.
You're
doing great.
Keep moving.
At least somebody thinks so.
We've been hoofing it for hours.
My legs feel like two-ton barbells.
Something tells me that
standing still isn't a good idea.
Right, because you've been here before?
Let's move.
Lois!
Come on!
Lois!
What is that thing?!
Stay back.
Zoners.
I don't want to die here, clark!
All we have to do is keep an
eye out for each other, okay?
- we'll be fine.
- we're not fine.
We're standing on our graves!
We're gonna die, us together.
- no more farmhouse, no more daily planet!
- listen to me!
Listen to me.
No one's gonna mess with
lois and clark, right?
They better not.
- let's keep moving.
- okay.
Lois!
Kara?
It's me.
Kal-el.
I should have known that
brainiac put you here.
Kara, are you okay?
I thought you were zoners.
Zoners kill.
For the blood.
They can smell it.
What were you thinking
bringing lois here?
Lois was there when
i touched the crystal.
We need to find a portal back.
I did.
Zor-el built me an escape hatch.
If you know a way out,
then why are you still here?
I didn't want to make the
same mistake that you did.
Zoners got out when you left.
They're just waiting for
me to open the portal again.
So you stayed here all this time,
fending for your life to protect earth?
Your lifeline.
You lose it, you die.
She better be able to fight.
She won't have to.
We're sending her back.
How many innocent lives
is she worth to you?
Why are you acting like this?
What happened to you, kara?
The same thing that would have happened to
you had you been here for more than a day.
The portal stays closed.
She doesn't belong here!
She's not one of us, kara.
I'll guard the gate,
but she's going home!
Oh, my god.
Kara.
They've abducted you, too?
You know, oliver, for a
guy with three cellphones,
you sure are hard to get ahold of.
Chloe, hey.
You know, the
captain hasn't even turned off
the "fasten seat belt" sign yet.
What warrants this visit
out to the tarmac, huh?
Clark and lois disappeared this morning.
Did you check the planet?
I'm sure they're just out
chasing fire trucks again.
Yeah, i checked everywhere.
I think it has something
to do with this.
It's clark's crystal.
It's his link to his
kryptonian heritage.
Yeah.
Look, uh, when it
comes to clark'sthat,
i, uh i steer clear.
I need you to steal a
piece of equipment, oliver.
It powers this crystal.
Now, i
think that if i can gain access
to the crystal's database, i may
be able to reverse its effects.
That's your plan, chloe? You're
gonna hack in to alien technology?
Come on.
That's a bit ambitious,
isn't it, even for you?
There is no door number
two.
This is my only option.
Well, look, even if that thing is
responsible for their disappearance,
i don't think clark would want you messing
with it, chloe.
That stuff is dangerous.
I'm not messing with anything.
I know what i'm doing.
What are you not telling me, huh?
I don't have time to explain.
Are
you gonna steal the generator or not?
All right, who does this fancy
piece of equipment belong to?
Tess mercer.
Mercy?
Well, why didn't you just say so?
So, first kara, then clark and i.
It's like the kent farm's
ground zero for alien abductions.
The important thing
is we get out of here.
You go ahead with kara.
Actually, i think i'll stick
by you and your right hook.
You can't!
He's guarding the entrance
so we can open the portal.
It's okay, lois.
I'll be right behind you.
You better be!
The altar's this way.
This is our delorean?
We just have to touch it.
- clark! He needs us!
- no! He'll be fine.
You have to go.
We can't leave yet, kara.
We have to wait for clark.
Lois, there's no time!
Go!
Clark?
Clark.
This'll do.
Well, look who decided
to show up to work today.
Oh, i'm sorry.
Am i bothering you?
I need to find my son.
Your son?
I have to admit, it's difficult to
imagine a mini lois running around.
You mind me asking who the father is?
A great leader general zod.
Our creation arrived here attached
to the kryptonian spacecraft
housing the baby kal-el.
A kryptonian spacecraft.
Well, that makes perfect sense.
You know about it?
Absolutely.
I can connect you with your son.
Tell me what you know.
A crystal was stolen from me,
- diamond-shaped, and i think
- you want to exploit me?
Of course not.
We'd be partners.
We could combine our resources.
You're lying.
You're worthless to me.
Kal-el.
No.
I thought you got out!
A wraith escaped.
I'll get you out of here.
Open the portal.
Get out before more prisoners come.
No, kara.
They'll kill you.
Kal-el, look at me.
It was my destiny to find you and
protect you, not the other way around.
Go.
I'm not going anywhere.
Lois!
Are you okay?
I read your articles, chloe sullivan.
What do you know about the kryptonian
spacecraft that landed in smallville?
Where's clark?
The man you call clark
will die in the prison
his father created.
What did you do with lois?
I needed her vessel.
Not my first choice, but
surprisingly flexible.
And you would be
faora
wife of zod.
Where's my son?
Tell me where he is or
suffer the consequences.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Please let me go.
You must know more.
I can't breathe.
Thank you.
So not the night to mess with me.
No "hello"? No "how are ya?"
What do you know about the crystal?
That depends.
How good is your shot?
- who do you work for?
- i'm self-employed.
It's sort of an
occupational safety hazard.
Well, then you know that getting blood
out of leather can be a total ***.
Don't worry.
You can't move
now, but in a couple of minutes,
you'll be back to your
normal, cuddly, charming self.
Excuse me, miss? This
area is restricted.
Please.
That's my son.
There you go, and now all your
friends are gonna be envious.
High five.
Yeah!
Okay.
Now she's gonna have
to find your dad, okay?
You helped him.
Hey.
What are you doing here, lois?
I might ask you that question.
Is everything okay?
I don't understand.
All that human carnage.
Is that not your doing?
Maybe we need to find you a doctor.
All i need is you, my son.
Mother's here.
Phantom zone, huh?
Seriously, who names these things?
Picture an alien alcatraz,
and if i don't bail clark out soon,
who knows what kind of havoc
lo-bot will leave in her wake.
Yeah.
That still doesn't explain how you're
hacking in to that crystal,
chloe, it's not hooked up to anything.
There's no computer here.
Do i tell you how to shoot your arrows?
I don't think so.
Stay back.
Chloe?
Chloe, you're bleeding.
All right, you know what?
Chloe, we're done here!
Kara? You have to stay strong.
Look.
- take my blood.
- no.
It'll open the portal
and take you home, okay?
You are my home.
Do you hear me?
You're my family.
You make me feel like i actually belong.
Kara, grab my hand!
Please.
Kara, i can't let you die here!
You're meant for more than to rot away
in the phantom zone.
Please.
Chloe.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
- chloe, what did you do?
- it doesn't matter.
You're safe now, and i see you
snuck something through customs.
Where's lois? Have you
seen her? Is she all right?
Far from it.
She was
infected by something.
Does the name faora ring any bells?
Strong, quick, hater of man?
Zod's wife.
Yeah.
The wraith that escaped.
I need you to go to metropolis
police department.
Find john jones.
Ask him for his crystal.
He'll know what you mean.
Hey, clark, just a heads-up
lois has all of your abilities
without any of your inhibitions.
Don't worry.
I can handle lois.
Here this won't sober you up,
but it'll help clear away the cobwebs.
You don't recognize me
but you are the spitting
image of your father.
Okay.
Lois, you got to reason with me.
What kind of drugs did you take
pills, powder, paste?
Don't tell me you injected anything.
You don't know who you are.
You experience blackouts?
Hours of your life mysteriously lost?
Your body's still evolving.
Okay, um
how do you know that?
Before we were phantoms,
zod and i were unable to have children.
So we created you.
You, uh, created me
you arrived here as genetic matter,
containing our planet's
most powerful life-forms
so that, in time,
you would evolve to become
earth's ultimate destroyer.
I drive an ambulance.
The duty of a child
is to continue the legacy
his parents began.
Our family is meant to
take this planet as our own.
And after seeing you with these humans,
i realize that you are still
too weak to fulfill your destiny.
Trust me, my son.
That which kills you makes you stronger.
I'll be back when you're ready.
I've been looking for you.
You're too late, kal-el.
Zod may be gone, but our
creation will destroy your world.
Lois, i know you're in there.
Remind me, kal-el
did jor-el and lara
come looking for you?
Of course not.
They didn't love you like i love my son.
This is all my fault, lois.
I'm sorry.
You have feelings for
this creature i inhabit.
Like father, like son.
Lois, stop.
Lois can't hear you.
Does that mean she's okay?
I don't know.
I hope so.
I just came from tess.
I got a raise.
Why would she give you a raise?
Because i'm me.
Hello.
Right, but
it feels kind of random, doesn't it?
Aw, hang in there, smallville.
You just have to pay your
dues until the boss sees
that you can photocopy
like the best of them.
- did you see tess yesterday?
- beats me.
All i remember is touching that rock,
having some "arabian nights" acid trip,
and waking up very confused.
It was pretty intense
hallucination, even for you.
- so i passed out, just like that?
- it was probably a blood-sugar thing.
Lois, the best part about you living
at the farm is i can keep an eye on you.
Yeah, about that
change of plans.
Nothing against you.
It's just this
raise means i can afford a place,
you know, without farm animals.
Does this have anything to
dowith the hallucination you had?
Yeah, right.
It was a dream.
It's called make-believe.
What other reality stars you
as my knight in shining armor?
I was your knight in shining armor?
Like i said, "crazy.
"
Kent.
Miss mercer wants to see you.
I shouldn't have underestimated lois.
She really blew me away yesterday.
- so you did see her.
- you know, just when i thought
she couldn't get an
interesting bone in her body,
she starts going on about
a kryptonian spacecraft
carrying someone called kal-el?
Well, she hit her head.
She was hallucinating.
I'm sure chloe told you
that i stopped by your farm?
It's a hell of a muddy
driveway you got there.
You were the last one to
see lex alive, weren't you?
This was taken in the arctic.
If the boot fits
a lot of people have work boots.
You don't think i was in the
arctic based on these pictures.
I think there's a lot more to clark kent
that even clark kent
doesn't want to admit.
A farmer turned journalist
not a very interesting story
i know that you're hiding
something about his disappearance.
And i can't wait for the day when you
realize that you and i are on the same side
and that maybe it's not in your
best interests to lie to your boss.
If you want to fire me,
miss mercer, go ahead.
I have nothing more
to tell you about this.
Clark, i don't want to fire you.
I want to trust you.
And i want to know why lex didn't.
In time, i'm sure the
truth will reveal itself.
Hallmark didn't have any, uh,
"welcome back to earth" cards, so
oliver.
It's nice to see everyone
has a key to this place.
I spoke to chloe.
She said if it wasn't for you, i
probably wouldn't be here right now.
Thanks.
Actually, uh, if it wasn't for
chloe tweaking into a supercomputer,
you wouldn't be here right now.
Her eyes turned white,
and then she, uh with
one hand, mind you
pushed me into the other room.
So, uh, what happened to her?
It's brainiac he
infected her somehow.
- what are you doing about this?
- everything i can.
I've tried to talk to her,
but i can't control her life.
Her life? It's not her
life anymore, clark.
She's living yours.
Chloe's knee-deep in
these situations that
pardon the expression, but
humans just don't understand.
As her best friend
make her stop before she gets hurt.
Looks like someone's got cold feet.
He's not even at the frozen tundra yet.
After what this crystal
did to lois and i,
there's no way i can trust
it to rebuild the fortress.
So, did your adventure with loisend
with you telling her your secret?
Not exactly.
All i ever wanted was to
keep lois away from my secret.
But yesterday, that
nearly got her killed.
You want your cousin's two cents?
Lois can handle it.
She's tough
and strong.
You wouldn't have let her get so
close if you didn't think so, too.
I was beginning to miss
these family lectures.
I'm leaving smallville.
Kara, you just got back.
When i was in that hellhole,
i heard rumors that kandor still exists.
Kal-el, i think that a
part of our civilization
may have survived before the explosion.
If i can find that city,
i can save our bloodline.
Then i'll go with you.
Kal-el, there is a reason
that you were sent to earth
and raised as a member
of the kent family.
Your path is on earth,
living amongst the humans
and inspiring mankind.
Kara, we can do all of this together.
We can't.
I don't fit in here.
My journey is somewhere else.
I'm gonna miss you.
See?
You're always with me,
close to my heart.
