Brunette: Hey, Clark. What are doin'?
Clark: Hey, um, I'm just trying to figure
out some of this trig homework.
Blonde: What for? Don't you already have a
scholarship to Met U.?
Clark: Yes, for football. But they're still gonna
be looking at my final GPA.
Brunette: Well, when you're done playing with your
protractor, there's a party over at Katie's house.
Blonde: Her parents have a hot
tub.
Clark: Really?
Brunette: Yeah
Clark: Um... thanks, but I still got a lot of work to do.
Brunette: Okay.
Well, why don't you drop by later if you finish?
Blonde: See ya.
Brunette: Bye, Clark
Martha: She was cute.
Clark: Which one? 
Martha: Both. Thinking of asking one of
them out?
Clark: Yeah, so that I could ruin it just when we're getting close by
having to lie about who I really am? Just like I did with Lana?
Martha: Clark,
there is someone out there for you.
Clark: Who? Mom, a girl would have to be
crazy to get into a relationship with me.
Orderly: I can't believe you're
thinking about letting that psycho go.
McBride: That is what generally happens
when a patient is cured. Alicia. It's time. You can
go home now.
Alicia: So what's
Smallville's star quarterback doing up here alone on a Saturday night?
Clark: Alicia
Alicia: I’m
kind of surprised
you remembered my name.
Clark: How could I
forget? You
tried to kill me. And Lana. I’d ask how you escaped, but I
guess that’s
pretty obvious.
Alicia: I
didn’t escape. They let me out. The doctors say I’m cured.
Clark: You could’ve called instead of teleporting into my loft.
Alicia: Actually, I borrowed my mom’s car and I drove. It’s a
little something my doctor came up with. Trace amounts of lead
are released into my blood stream, and it keeps me from using my powers.
Clark: I’m glad they think you’re better. That doesn’t change
what happened between us.
Alicia: I know that, Clark. I just wanted to tell you how sorry I
am for everything I put you through. You’re the last person on earth
that I ever wanted to hurt. But you didn’t answer my question.
Why are you up here alone on a Saturday night?
Clark: Maybe I prefer to be alone.
Alicia: ‘Cause of your secret? Don’t worry. I didn’t tell
anyone. I promised you that I wouldn’t.
Clark: Alicia--
Alicia: The whole time that I was in Belle Reve, just the thought
that there was someone out there like me, who knew what it was like to
be different, gave me hope. In my darkest moment, you gave me
hope, Clark. Bye.
Jonathan: So they just let Alicia teleport out of Belle Reve.
Clark: No, they gave her some sort of lead bracelet that stops her
from using her powers, and she doesn’t seem as dangerous anymore.
Martha: Her powers aren’t the only thing that made her dangerous,
Clark. She’s obsessed with you.
Jonathan: And she knows your secret.
Clark: Which she kept for over a year. Whatever they did to her in
Belle Reve, maybe it worked. 
Martha: We know how much you want to be with someone you don’t have to
lie to, sweetheart, but Alicia isn’t the one.
Clark: So, what should I do--just wait for the next cute girl with
abilities to knock on my door?
Jonathan: Clark, you know what she did.
Alicia need
s to be in an
institution.
Clark: Then why'd they let her out of Belle Reve? What if she
really is better?
Martha: And what if she isn't?
Chloe: Damn,
I'm good. All right,Alicia Baker. "Suffering fro
m a
histrionic personality disorder, "causing emotional instability,
resulting in psychotic episodes." Yeah, that's our girl.
Clark: Who's that guy?
Chloe: It's Alicia's psychiatrist Dr. William McBride. Yeah, I've heard
of him.
He graduated from Harvard in two years with more degrees than a
thermometer.
Clark: What's he say about Alicia?
Chloe: Wow. Well, according to dr.
McBride, Alicia really is cured.
Clark: She was telling the truth. 
Chloe: And that, I ta
ke it, is exactly
what our young Mr. Kent wanted to hear.
Jason: What are you doing here?
Lana: It's
nice to see you, too.
Jason: Sorry, I just didn't expect you to show up on
campus.
Lana: Like I didn't expect you to say that you needed space right
before you walked out on me? Jason, what's really going on here?
Jason: Where
this is heading with us, I just don't think you're ready. I don't
think
you're ready for a relationship like that.
Lana: Relationship like what?
Jason: Can
we not talk about this right now? I don't want -- look, Lana, I have to
go.
Alicia: Super
powers can't
save you now, Clark Kent.
Clark: No, I'm good. I'm -- I'm good.
Alicia: Okay, come on. Just relax your
knees. Just glide. I'm really glad that you called me. I
didn't think
that you would after what happened the last time we went out on a date.
Clark: Well, you were sick then. I understand now.
Alicia: I don't. I mean, I remember
feeling angry and alone and doing all those things, but -- I don't know
--when I think about it now, it's like --it's like watching a movie.
Like it wasn't even really me.
Clark: Maybe it wasn't. 
Maybe this is the
real you.
Alicia: Good thing you've got
buns of steel. Um, you might be impervious to the cold, but I'm
turning in to a popsicle.
Clark: Well, I do have heat vision.
Alicia: Well, I think I'd
settle for some hot chocolate.
Clark: Okay.
Alicia: I'm just gonna go freshen up first.
I'll meet you over there.
Clark: Okay.
McBride: Enjoying your freedom?
Alicia: Dr. McBride. What
are you doing here?
McBride: Checking upon my favorite patient. This does more
than just keep you in place, Alicia.
Alicia: You lo-jacked me?
McBride: I have to
know where you are, so that you don't do anything to jeopardize your
release... 
like associating
with Clark
Kent.
Alicia: What I do with Clark is my own business.
McBride: Clark was the object of your
obsession, Alicia. Your feelings for him are what precipitated
your
psychotic break. You really want to risk an incident like that
again?
Alicia: But you said that I was better.
McBride: And I want you to stay that way. Perhaps
more sessions together outside of the office would be beneficial.
You are
such a bright, beautiful young girl. It'd be a shame to see you
end up
back in Belle reve. Stop seeing Clark Kent before someone gets
hurt. 
Clark: I thought I'd
lost you.
Alicia: Oh, you're not getting rid of me that easily. Ooh, I let it get
cold. Would you mind? Thanks.
Clark: So, what do you want to do next?
Alicia: Um, you wanna go for a drive?
Clark: Sure. Where do you want to go?
Alicia: Have you ever
been to California?
Clark: California. Sure, let's jump in the truck, and we'll
go to California right now. Are you serious? Alicia, going to
California would be...
Alicia: Crazy?
Clark: I wasn't gonna say that. 
Alicia: No, I know that it sounds crazy.
I just... I just want to go somewhere where nobody knows me or what I
did. And I want you to come with me.
Clark: I can't. I mean, as much as I'd want
to be with you... is everything okay?
Alicia: Yeah... I actually have to go.
I'll call you later.
Lex: Well, the prodigal
father returns.
Lionel: I've been trying to reach you, but you're always somehow,
uh... unavailable. Too busy playing with your sword to speak to your
father?
Lex: Actually, I've been preoccupied by your court papers...trying to
unravel how you managed to get your conviction over turned.
Lionel: Well, I don't think you'll find the answers in
that stack of legal documents. It was a, uh... 
[ Chuckles ]
Lionel: A miracle. There's no other way to explain it. And I
must use that freedom I was given towards A... a greater purpose.
Lex: Well,
I hope that purpose doesn't include returning to Luthor Corp, because
you
won't be walking through the door to the executive suite or raiding the
coffers to line your pockets any time soon.
Lionel: I'm not here for money, Lex. I don't want to take Luthor Corp
away from you. Corporate
maneuvering doesn't interest me anymore.
Lex: So, what, now trying to kill is going to be a full-time job?
Lionel: I know -- I know where you're coming from, Lex. It's a place
of anger and mistrust. But it's not too late. It's not.
There's still time to get off the path that can only lead to darkness.
Lex: Come on, Dad. What are you really up to?
Lionel: I am trying to make the world a better place. I'm
going to create a charitable foundation, not just to
feed the hungry
and the clothe the poor. No, I want to really help people, to
inspire the human spirit. I wish everyone on the face of the
earth could be as blessed as I am.
Lex: So now you're the messiah?
Lionel: No. Lex, no, I'm just
--I'm -- I'm a man who has a dream.
Alicia: Guess who? 
[ Giggles ]
Clark: I was starting to think you were on your way to California
already.
Alicia: Well, my bags are in the car.
Clark: What's going on?
Alicia: Uh... Dr. McBride, my
psychiatrist -- he was at the ice rink. He said that if I keep
seeing
you, he's going to send me back to Belle Reve.
Clark: Why would he do that?
Alicia: Maybe because he's jealous. I think, in his mind, he
thought that if I
was out, he could be with me.
Clark: Well, go to the review board at Belle Reve,
and tell them about McBride.
Alicia: Well, I can't risk them revoking my
probation.
Clark: What do you think they're gonna do if you run?
Alicia: As long as I'm
free, I don't care. Come with me, Clark.
Clark: I want to... 
but running's not
the answer.
Trust me, I know.
Alicia: I wish I was as strong as you are. But... I'm not.
I'm... um... I made something for you in Belle Reve... for when I got
out.
Clark: Alicia...
Alicia: I guess now it's a --it's a goodbye present. Would you
mind wearing it so I can see it on you just once?
Lana: Hey.
Chloe: Hey. I missed
you in A.P. Lit today. What happened? You decide you just
couldn't face
the love songs of J. Alfred Prufrock?
Lana: No, um... I went to go see Jason.
Chloe: Sounds like it didn't go so well. 
Sorry, but, uh,
poker face
isn't exactly your strong suit. What's up?
Lana: I think I finally figured out
why he's been so cryptic. He doesn't think that I'm ready for... "that"
kind of a relationship.
Chloe: What? What kind? Oh, that kind. Oh, okay. Wow, that
answers a question I've been dying to ask you all semester.
Lana: Does everybody think that we've --
Chloe: Lana. You were alone with him for
three months in Paris.
Lana: Right. Um... well, we haven't... but I'm
starting to think that I'm ready.
Chloe: First off, 
don't do this just
because you're
afraid to lose him if you don't.
Lana: It's not that. It's just Jason's in
college, and I think that he's used to relationships that are... that
area little more adult.
Chloe: Well, at the risk of going "after school special"
on you, two-thirds of all people under the age of 18 regret doing it
too
soon. And on behalf of that two-thirds, just be sure that you're
really
ready.
Lana: Wait a minute. Are you saying that you've --
Chloe: Yeah. During my
internship at the "Daily Planet." His name was Jimmy. He was very
cute in
a bow tie kind of way. You know, I mean, it was --it was a summer
infatuation that I thought was the real thing.
Lana: Do you wish you
hadn't done it?
Chloe: Sometimes. I mean, it wasn't
awful, by any
means. But it just wasn't special, and as cliché as it
sounds, it
only happens once. So just make sure Jason's the guy that you
want to
remember forever.
Alicia: Okay... can we just
slow down? I
want this to last forever.
Clark: I'm not sure that's one of my abilities, but
I'll do my best.
Alicia: Okay, just one minute.
Clark: What?
Alicia: Um...
Clark: What is it?
Alicia: I'm a
virgin.
Clark: That's great. So am I.
Alicia: Really?
Clark: What?
Alicia: It's just -- well, we
don't have any kind of commitment or anything.
Clark: Baby, no one is more
committed to making this happen than me. You are the most
beautiful, amazing, sexiest girl I've ever met. 
And there's
no way I'm letting you get away.
Alicia: Does that mean, like, you want me to be your girlfriend?
Clark: No. I want
you to be my wife.
Alicia: Are you serious?
Clark: We were meant to be together. We
could be in Vegas tonight and wake up Mr. and Mrs. In the
morning.
Alicia: Oh, my
god!
Minister: We are, uh, gathered here to
join this happy couple in holy matrimony. Marriage, as you know,
is a
union that should not be entered into lightly.
Clark: Yeah, yeah, skip to the
good stuff, pops.
Minister: Um... do you, Clark Kent, take this woman to be your
lawfully wedded wife?
Clark: Hell, yes.
Minister: And do you, Alicia Baker, take this man
to be your lawfully wedded husband?
Alicia: I do.
Minister: Well, you may kiss the br--
oh, I see you're already doing that. Well, ahem, by the power
vested in
me by the state of Nevada, I now pronounce you man and wife.
Alicia: My head is swimming.
Clark: Don't drown just yet.
Alicia: Oh, my god, I can't believe this! I'm Mrs. Clark Kent.
Clark: Let's make it official.
[ Giggles ]
Lana: Jason. You're early.
Jason: I got your message. It sounded like
an emergency, so I came as soon as I could.
Lana: This isn't exactly how I
planned it. I need you to look me in the eye and tell me that you
don't
love me. Then there's no good reason why we shouldn't be
together.
Jason: Okay,
I'm gonna stop you. Um... not that I wouldn't love for this to
happen,
but it can't. I mean, not like this.
Lana: I don't understand. 
Um, I thought that
you broke up
with me because...
Jason: Okay, all right, um... I haven't been
completely honest with you.
Lana: There's someone else.
Jason: No. Um...no.
Lana: Then what
is it, Jason? Why did you just walk out on this relationship?
Jason: Because I
don't think we met by accident. I think that my mother arranged
it.
Lana: How's
that even possible?
Jason; My mother was the one who convinced me to go to Paris in the
first place. She said that I would meet someone special. And
I did. And then everything started happening -- the tattoo and
Isobel's
tomb... and the spell book. None of it made any sense. Until you
saw my
mother in your nightmare about Isobel being burned at the stake.
Lana: No,
that was just a bad dream, that's all. 
Jason: Or maybe it was your subconscious
connecting the dots. Either way, I didn't want my mother to use
me to
get close to you, so, uh...
Lana: Jason... whatever's going on, it doesn't
change the way that I feel about you.
Jason: Yeah.
Alicia: Oh, God. I love you so much.
Clark: I know how you feel.
Alicia: Wait.
Clark: We don't
have to wait. We're married.
Alicia: No.
I just want this to be right. I want all of you.
Clark: What'd you do to me?
Alicia: Okay, don't get mad.
Clark: How'd you know about the red kryptonite?
Alicia: Because I
know everything about you, Clark. We were meant to be together,
remember?
Just like you said.
Clark: You drugged me.
Alicia: No, it's not -- I just didn't know
what else to do because -- because I couldn't stay, and I couldn't
leave without you, so I just -- just thought if you could listen to
your
heart instead of your head for once. 
Clark: You don't even see what you did
was wrong. What's the matter with you?
Alicia: I just -- Clark, you could've
hooked up with any girl you wanted, and you chose me. Why do you
think
that that is?
Clark: You dosed me with red kryptonite. It makes me do things I
don't want to do.
Alicia: No! I don't think that rock forces you to do anything!
Maybe it dampens your inhibitions, but... Clark Kent got himself into
this situation, okay? Clark Kent asked me to marry him.
Clark Kent
brought me up to this hotel to make love to me.
Clark: Well, maybe Clark Kent made a mistake.
Alicia: No. I did.
Clark: Alicia, no!
Clark: Her mom hasn't heard
anything, either. Okay, call me if you hear anything, okay,
Chloe?
Thanks.
McBride: I warned Alicia to stay away from you.
Clark: Dr. McBride. 
Where is
she? She called me from
her cell phone -- hysterical, crying that maybe she wasn't better...
that maybe she belonged back at Belle Reve.
Clark: Just where you threatened to
send her if she didn't stop seeing me.
McBride: Alicia is my greatest achievement.
When she came to me, her mind was fractured and broken. I made
her whole
again. Now look what you've done to her.
Clark: What I've done? You're the
reason she wanted to run away.
McBride: No, you stalked her, you kidnapped her.
You forced her to marry you.
Clark: That's not what happened.
McBride: Well, that is
what the police will believe when I take you in.
Clark: What are you doing?
McBride: To
help Alicia, I had to understand her obsession, so I studied you.
It
wasn't hard. The sheriff's files are filled 
with your
unexplained appearances
at violent crime scenes. It's the classic earmarks of a troubled
teen.
But don't worry, they don't send kids like you to jail. They send
them
to me...at Belle Reve.
Alicia: Stop it. Clark didn't do anything.
McBride: What are you
doing here?
Clark: Alicia, get out of here.
McBride: Don't tell her what to do.
Alicia: Clark, I
know I made a huge mistake. You're the only person who's ever really
known me.
McBride: Alicia --
Alicia: And when I'm with you, I feel normal. I'll always
love you for that.
McBride: No. I'm not gonna let him keep hurting you.
Alicia: You don't
know what you're talking about!
McBride: This stops now! Alicia.
Alicia: We should really
get to a hospital, don't you think?
Clark: Alicia, why'd you do that? You
know I could've caught that bullet.
Alicia: Because I promised you that I'd
always protect your secret. I promised.
Clark: Hey.
Alicia: Hey.
Clark: How are you feeling?
Alicia: Like I just teleported in front of a bullet. Ha
ha ha..ow.
Clark: The doctor said you could be released today. You might want
to hold the jokes until then.
Alicia: What happen to Dr. McBride?
Clark: They're holding him for observation at Belle Reve for trying to
kill one of his patients.
Alicia: I'm so sorry
about what I did to you, Clark. 
I guess... I just
didn't want
to lose the one good thing in my life.
Clark: I'm not so sure that drugging
me was the best way to preserve the relationship. I wanted you with or
without that rock.
Alicia: Past tense noted.
Clark: Get some rest, okay?
Alicia: Clark? I
really am sorry. You know that, right?
Clark: Yeah, I know.
Lionel: Oh. A warm fire on
a cold night. There's nothing like it, is there?
Lex: Thanks for coming by, Dad. I know how busy you are with
saving the world.
Lionel I was, uh,
hoping that your call was an olive branch, that we could reconcile, but
obviously, I was wrong.
Lex: Where are you going, dad? 
Back to the motel
out by the
interstate? Or, hey, it's almost dinnertime. You might still be
able to
make it to the mission for your evening bowl of soup.
Lionel: They also serve a
surprisingly tasty salisbury steak.
Lex: You know, I got to hand it to you,
dad. When you throw yourself into a role, you really commit.
Lionel; This is not
an act, lex. You should know that by now. You've been having me
followed
since I was released.
Lex: Which you knew I would. 
[ Chuckles ]
Lionel: I'm not some elaborate game, Lex. This is my life
now.
You've stripped me of every penny I once had, and I'm making the best
of
it. And you're right. It's, uh, it's about time for my
evening bowl of
soup.
Lex: Dad... you can stay in the guesthouse. Thanks. It'd be much
easier keeping an eye on me.
Lex: Good night, dad.
Clark: Is dad still upset?
Martha: What
do you think?
Clark: How about you?
Martha: I'm upset. More than that, I'm
disappointed.
Clark: I was on red kryptonite, mom.
Martha: My god, you ran off with a
girl you barely know and got married. 
Clark: It wasn't legal.
Martha: That's not even
the point. Marriage is sacred, Clark. It's about two people who trust
each other and are willing to go through life together, no matter how
difficult it gets. I thought we had taught you that. You're an
amazing young man, Clark. You make life and death decisions every
day.
But then you turn around and -- and you do this. Why did you do
it?
Clark: Mom,
there's a part of me that never feels freer than when I'm with
Alicia.
She makes me feel normal and special at the same time.
Martha: I know how
badly you want to be with somebody. I want that for you, too. I
guess...
I just expected you to use better judgment.
Alicia: I guess I know why
you're alone.
Clark: Hey. Alicia. I
see you're wearing the lead bracelet again.
Alicia: Yeah. It keeps me grounded.
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you.
Clark: For what?
Alicia: For helping me be a
better person.
Clark: I have faith in you.
Alicia: Look, I know that we can never be
together after what I did. But it doesn't change how I
feel. And I just
wanted you to know that, for as long as I live, I'm never going to
reveal
your secret. I love you. 
That's all.
Clark: Alicia, wait. Wait.
