Smallville

Previously on Smallville

From i'm looking at.. it's a person.

So you're saying this blur, saved lois from becoming roadkill

See, that's how good he is..

You want to rise above sea level,

you better sharpen those teeth!

You will eradicate the other kryptonian

and then the rest of the planet.

I am not going to hurt anyone.

You have no free will.

And you're destined to become what you really are.

Doomsday.

No way! I can't believe it!

I thought, just for a minute, someone needed me.

Well, i'm sure he needs you.

How do you know?

'cause i know clark.

Great! Thank you!

Nice to be back!

Lois!

Are you kidding me?!

Now you show up?

The one time i actually depend on you,

and you flake on picking me up from the airport.

I'm really sorry.

Sorry?!

Sorry doesn't buy back the last three hours i spent ...

standing in a downpour...

...watching cheesy curbside reunions.

I can explain.

You e-mailed last night to say you'd be there.

What, do i need to tie a string around your finger myself?

But i got held up a-at work.

I finished one thing, lois,

and something else would come up.

You're a reporter, smallville. You're not saving the world.

I know. I should've called.

Look, i get it.

You have other things on your mind.

I don't expect

to be the person at the top of your priority list.

Clark kent.

He can save an entire city in the blink of an eye,

but when it comes to ladies,

the red-blue blur still drives with the brakes on.

Linda lake.

What are you doing here?

Watching you.

Impressive as always.

You're a murderer. You should be in prison.

The police cleared my name.

Besides, there's no prison sentence

worse than where i've been ...

circling the drain of obscurity.

I'm a nobody, kent.

Two years living underground dried up my prophetic pen.

But i'm ready to make another splash.

Haven't your stories ruined enough lives?

Oh, no.

It's different this time.

I want to be the voice of the red-blue blur.

Every rescue, every takedown,

every kitten that you rescue from a tree,

you leak the story to me first.

My name will be known alongside yours

on papers around the globe.

Chloe was right ... you are crazy.

I prefer ambitious.

In fact, i spent a few hours of my morning...

writing your life story.

Partner with me, i'll shred it.

You turn your back on me,

and the whole world reads about little orphan alien.

We've gone through this before. I'll stop you.

Not this time.

You'll make a great headline, kent.

Smallville 815

Hey, can i raid your dvd collection?

Jimmy's being transferred to met gen,

and i don't think he's into a chick flick.

You okay?

Linda lake is back.

What?

I thought that water snake slithered back into her swamp.

If i don't give her an exclusive scoop on all my saves,

she's gonna expose me ... my name, my face, everything.

Oh, my god. Okay...

well, the h20 has obviously gone to her head,

and we need to figure out a way

to kill that story once and for all.

She's got a backup plan, chloe.

Whether we stop her or not,

she's still gonna release my identity.

So i'm going public...

on my terms.

Whoa. Clark.

Okay, i realize that after lana left,

you really buried yourself in patrol duty,

and there's nothing wrong with that,

but to come out waving the flag...

i mean, that's huge.

Chloe, i always thought that i would live in secret forever.

But you convinced me

that jimmy's picture of the red-blue blur

was a symbol of hope.

Didn't have an address or a family or a face.

I mean, are you sure

that you're ready to have all of your intimate details

made into the banner headline?

Well, i don't have a choice.

At least this way,

i can control the way my story comes out in the press.

Right, because the paparazzi

e paparazzi

are famous for respecting people's privacy.

Clark...

we can stop her. There's always a way.

No, chloe, this time is different.

I mean, even if i agree to be linda lake's puppet,

eventually she will stab me in the back and expose me.

I need to stay one step ahead of her,

not only for me but for everyone else's sake.

Even in a world this advanced,

people are still pretty backwards

when it comes to accepting change.

I know, chloe, but when the red and blue blur

hit the front page, people accepted it.

And maybe they're ready to accept me.

There could be an upside to all this, you know.

For the first time in my life,

i may actually be able to be myself.

Can i ask you what you're doing?

Davis bloome ... i'm one of the, uh, emts.

I've never seen you before.

Well, i've been out for a few weeks.

Do you want to explain this?

I'm just restocking my rig.

Antipsychotics used for multiple personalties.

Yeah, not exactly your latest designer drug, is it?

I'm sorry.

I hope whoever it's for, they get the help they need.

Trust me, so do i.

Can i talk to you?

Wow. What is that noise?

Is someone talking?

Lois, you can't ignore me forever.

Could be worse ...

you could be ignored in a three-hour downpour.

I want you to write my story.

No offense, but i've long since graduated

from the "lonely seeking lonely" or classifieds.

It's a pretty interesting one.

Clark, i'm busy here.

You may have forgotten about me, but the news world didn't.

After the story you're about to write, it never will.

What story?

I didn't forget to pick you up at the airport, lois.

The reason i wasn't there

is because i was protecting people.

I'm the red-blue blur.

That's the best you can do?

That thing that saved you from the speeding car,

that was me.

That time the barn door flew off its hinges,

you thought it was a weather anomaly.

I did that.

Yeah, right. What'd you do ... sneeze?

Actually...

clark, next time you liquid-lunch,

take the rest of the day off.

Let me help you with that.

Guess i should stop calling you "smallville."

You're speechless. That's never a good thing.

The disappearing acts, the half-baked excuses...

all this time, i just coughed it up

to a classic case of peter pan syndrome, but...

...you're the opposite.

You're like...

...a hero?

Look, lois, this is a lot to take in...

all at once, but i wanted you to hear it from me

before you heard it from anyone else.

So, why am i the first one you told?

Actually, lois, you're not.

Lana and chloe already know.

Someone's had a busy morning.

They've known for years.

Right. Of course.

Start at the beginning.

What guns you got in your arsenal?

Guess i might as well just throw it all out there.

I can blast fire out of my eyes.

Okay.

I can hear a dog barking from 10 miles away.

I can see through solid objects,

and i can run faster than the speed of sound.

Wait.

Rewind.

Expand on your whole...

"see through things" thing.
