Smallville

The world moves so fast today.

People forget how much better they had it as kids...

when hours seemed like days

and a favorite toy could be a child's best friend.

Toys are powerful things, you know.

They are vessels for the imagination imbued with life...

through the simple act of play.

Mercer is taking too many risks.

Lex took a gamble with her, and it's paying off.

Look at the success she's had with the daily planet.

Lex didn't know she was funneling all of luthorcorp's holdings

into one highly experimental bioweapon. And now she's lost the prototype.

I move for a vote of no confidence.

- Yeah, i second the motion. - All those in favor of making a change.

Aye.

That is, i agree it's time for a change,

but not quite how you mean it.

Oliver queen. What are you doing in enemy camp?

I'm actually the one who called this meeting.

Tess sends her regrets. But

she's on her way to dubai, overseeing some of our international interests.

What do you mean "our"?

With tess' cooperation,

i've purchased controlling interest in luthorcorp.

If that barracuda went behind our backs and helped you with a hostile takeover...

you know, i really don't think that the luthorcorp board should be lecturing me on ethics, ma'am.

After all, you've been using the world as your own personal playground for way too long.

The world is much better off because of the luthors,

and no pampered playboy is going to destroy their legacy.

Everybody down!

Smallville 814

Synchro : Flolo

please tell me that the bed was already wobbly.

Lana, it's made of solid oak.

Oh, god.

What do you say we find out how strong the floor is?

Where do you get all the energy?

How would you like to see another sunset?

We could start our night all over again.

Head west, find a sandy beach.

I love you being so romantic, clark.

But there's something that i would love even more than a trip to the tropics.

Just ask, and it's yours.

I want to help you when you're out patrolling metropolis.

Lana, i'm not so sure that ...

when i stopped that bullet and saved dr. Groll's life,

it was the most amazing feeling i have ever had.

I got to use my new powers the way i always planned to.

Lana, even with your strength and speed,

it's still dangerous out there.

You've protected me for years.

But this is who i am now.

It's the life i want.

And i want to share it with you.

All i've ever wanted was someone to share my life with.

To work with me, side by side...

just like my mom and dad did.

- With my abilities, i never thought... - clark, stop.

I'm right here.

Hey. There was some sort of an explosion at luthorcorp.

The news was saying it was a bomb.

- Oh, my god. - Was anyone hurt?

Apparently, everyone on the board of directors was killed.

Oliver was there. He's in the hospital.

Well, if it isn't metropolis' newest power couple.

How you doing, oliver?

I'm all right. Nothing a dry martini can't cure.

Were there any other survivors?

You were the only one.

They said the table protected you from the blast.

Oliver, do you have any idea who did this?

Angry shareholder, maybe?

I just bought a controlling stake in luthorcorp.

I was meeting with the board to announce it.

If you're trying to erase the "luthor" from luthorcorp,

then there's one obvious choice for who was behind this attack.

You know, if he was gonna come after anyone, lana, i would assume it would be you.

You were the one that really got under his skin.

Or should i say into it. That biotech that you commandeered, that was his lifeline.

It was his last chance at recovery.

Thing probably meant more to him than his entire company.

Do you remember anything before the blast?

Something that could help us figure out if lex is behind this?

No.

No, i didn't see anything.

All right. Don't worry, oliver.

I promise we're gonna find out who did this.

Oliver's lucky to be alive.

Looks like the bomb went off over here.

Must be pieces in the walls everywhere.

Clark. Are you okay?

There's kryptonite.

Looks like this silver shard was part of the bomb, but...

why would they use meteor rock?

It's not the first time it's been used to make a bomb more powerful.

What was that?

Whatever it was, lana, i don't feel the kryptonite anymore.

Maybe it was treated with something that lost its charge when i moved the chip.

Queen industries.

Clark, i think that oliver knows more than he's saying.

Lana, it's a big company. They make thousands of chips a year.

Why would you think oliver would be responsible?

I don't, but doesn't it seem like he's covering something?

But why would he hide anything from me?

He's done it before, clark.

When i tracked lex to cuba, oliver showed up.

He was there to kill lex.

Why didn't you tell me about this?

I thought that i'd talked him down,

but obviously, he still has his own agenda.

I think that you should show him the chip and give him a chance to explain.

No, we can't trust him anymore.

If he's so obsessed with killing lex that he went behind my back,

i don't want to pull him in any deeper.

Whatever oliver is hiding, we'll figure it out on our own.

The game has begun.

Although, even the finest plan can't guarantee a flawless execution.

Apparently...

miss mercer wasn't in the room.

And oliver queen survived.

But don't you worry.

I'll be sure to tie up any loose ends, mr. Luthor.

Meanwhile, we've already begun round two.

Time for our next move.

Your heart rate's a little higher than normal, mr. Queen.

Really?

I'm sure the view has that effect on all your patients.

Your patients.

Well, with the pain meds you're on,

i'm afraid this is the only view you're getting tonight.

Rest.

Looks like someone's making a speedy recovery.

Yeah, not quick enough. Trust me.

Well, i'm guessing you didn't get me over here to spoon you chicken soup.

No. Listen, i need you to pull an address off of queen industries' database.

It's an engineer that i fired six years ago. His name's winslow schott.

And you think this ex-employee is behind the bomb?

I hired him right out of m.i.t.

Developed explosives ... anything from

blowing out tunnels to breaking up kidney stones.

That's pretty high praise for someone you handed a pink slip to.

- What happened? - High-pressure job.

He snapped.

He started bringing toys to work.

Whatever, right?

But then he started...

hiding explosives inside the toys.

And that's when i realized winslow was thinking

a little bit too far outside the toy box.

Why are you telling me this when you have

your very own personal bomb squad in clark and lana?

Look, give me 10 minutes with one of your satellites, and i'll get them to go and get him.

No, chloe, we can't tell clark.

Winslow could have attacked me any time he wanted in the past six years.

He chose the night i took over luthorcorp to do it.

The toy boy may have pulled the pin...

but i think he's working for lex.

So, you're not actually interested in tracking this winslow guy down.

You just want him to lead you to lex.

And you want clark to stay out of your way.

Chloe, you know clark would never agree

to do what needs to be done to get rid of lex forever.

You're talking about killing a man.

I'm talking about ending this reign of terror that's been consuming us all lately.

No. I can't lie to clark.

You want to tell him the truth, or you want to protect him?

Lex tried to kill me. You know he's coming after clark next.

Chloe, he knows his secret.

Could you honestly live with yourself if you let something happen to clark?

What are you doing here?

You know oliver.

Even the blast of a bomb won't rattle his work ethic.

He asked me to come in and pull some of the files from the luthorcorp deal.

That's funny.

Because i would think that queen industries could free up at least one employee

to run his errands for him.

Yeah, well, i'm not exactly a brink's security truck,

but oliver knows he can trust me.

I thought i could, too.

You're chasing down a lead on the bombing for him, aren't you?

Sorry, clark.

Chloe, you don't understand.

Lana told me about oliver's vendetta against lex.

He knows that i would try to stop him.

That's why he would lie, but i don't know why you would.

Because i don't want to lose you, clark.

Lex knows that the meteor rocks are poisonous to kryptonians.

He knows your weakness. He could kill you.

That doesn't mean i'm supposed to kill him first, chloe.

No matter what oliver said to you, lex and i are not in a battle to the death.

Open your eyes, clark.

Lex declared war on you years ago. He's known your secret for months.

- Why have you not done anything yet? - I'm focused on the future ...

on using my abilities to help people.

I don't want to live in the past.

But that's exactly what you're doing.

You think that lex is still that same man you saved on the bridge eight years ago?

You're not recognizing the monster he's become.

So because i'm not gonna kill someone, i'm in denial?
