Jor-El: Kal-El, you have come far. One journey has ended. A new journey is about to begin. Welcome, my son.

Lana: Please, don't hurt me.

Police Officer: Lie down on the ground!

Female Kryptonian: Where is the girl?

Male Kryptonian: She is irrelevant. We must find Kal-El. 

Lois: Oh my God.

Jonathan: Martha! Martha, sweetheart! Martha!

Lois: Mr. Kent! Are you okay? Mrs. Kent! Clark!

Jonathan: Clark isn't here; he's alright. Martha!

Jonathan: Martha!

Lois: Here! She's here!

Jonathan: Sweetheart, I'm gonna get you out of here. It's okay. Easy, easy.

Lois: She's barely breathing.

Jonathan: She'll be fine. We're gonna get you out of here. Can you help me get her out of here?

Lex: Where'd you go, Chloe?

Female Kryptonian: He has the key.

Lex: Who are you?

Male Kryptonian: Are you Kal-El?

Lex: Who wants to know?

Female Kryptonian: It's not him. Kal-El would not bleed. 

Chloe: Clark? Clark!

Clark: I thought Krypton was destroyed!

Jor-El: It was, but here in your Fortress of Solitude, the geography of our planet has been replicated for your training.

Clark: I know there's a lot I can learn from you, but I have to get home. That's where I'm needed.

Jor-El: The meteor shower is only the precursor. A dark force from Krypton has been awakened, Kal-El, and it's sights have been set on Earth.

Clark: What do you want me to do?

Jor-El: You must do as I tell you. Study with diligence, for that is the only way to save this planet.

Chloe: Clark! 

Clark, can you hear me? Clark!

Clark: Chloe!

Jor-El:  Kal-El, you must continue your education. You cannot stop.

Clark: She's my friend! She needs help!

Clark: No, I won't let her die!

Jor-El: Each time you let your emotions guide you, the fate of the of the entire planet is at risk. That is your weakness, Kal-El!

Clark: Please! I'm begging you!

Jor-El: Very well--under one condition: return to me before the yellow sun has set.

Clark: I'll be back. I promise.

Jor-El: Do not fail me, Kal-El, for the consequences will be grave.

Clark: You have my word.

Chloe: Hey. I think it's time you switch into Super Clark mode now.

Clark: Super Clark.

Chloe: I know you run faster than a speeding bullet, Clark. Take me along for the ride.

Chloe: Go, Clark.

Lex: Lana!  What happened?

Lana: They're still out there. They'll kill us if they find us.

Lex: It's okay. You're safe now. Lana, you need to get off that leg. I'll call a doctor.

Lana: You don't understand. We're not safe. We're not safe!

Lex: Lana, you're in shock! It's over! The meteor shower stopped. It's over.

Lana: There's a man and a woman. They're right behind us. They came out--

Lex: Out of what? What did they come out of?

Lana: A spaceship.

Lex: Where?

Lana: In Lander's Field.

Lex: Lana, after what you've been through, it's perfectly normal for your mind to play tricks on you. Trust me.

Lana gets angry and pushes him away.

Lana: No, Lex! You trust me! I know what I saw. We have to get as far away as possible.

Lex: Lana!

Chloe: Thank you.

Chloe: I wonder who's more freaked out right now: me, knowing I'm in a hospital where they get their medicine via dogsled, or you, finally finding out I know your secret.

Clark: How long have you known?

Chloe: I guess I've always had my suspicions. The quick exits, the miraculous recoveries, the lame excuses, but I think when I saw you catch a car like it was a beach ball, that kinda confirmed everything.

Clark: Why didn't you say anything?

Chloe: I figured if you wanted to tell me you were part of the super power persuasion, you would when you were ready. On your terms; not on mine.

Clark: You're a good friend, Chloe.

Chloe: Obviously not good enough.

Clark: There were so many times I wanted to tell you.

Chloe: Clark, I don't blame you. Loose lips sink ships and God knows I've sunk my share of flotillas. What about Lana? Does she know?

Clark: No.

Chloe: Well, I want you to know, I'll never be the iceberg to your Titanic, and your secret will never ever leave my lips. No matter what.

Clark: I appreciate that.

Chloe: There's still a few blind spots though. Like, how did we get beamed from the Kawatche cave to the North Pole? And, what was really going on in that forty story igloo?

Clark: Look, Chloe, there's a lot of things about me that even I don't understand. The meteor rocks--they didn't make me the way I am.

Chloe: So, you're saying you were born this way?

Clark: I wasn't born anywhere near Smallville. In fact, I wasn't born anywhere near this galaxy.

Chloe: Okay...okay...so that would make you an...

Clark: Yeah.

Chloe:  But you...you look so...

Clark: Human?

Clark: I'm still the same person.

Chloe: Clark --I think you're so amazing. You save people's lives and take zero credit for it. To me, you're more than just a hero. You're a super hero.

Clark: Chloe--

Chloe: I'm serious, Clark. If more humans were like you, the world would be a better place.

Anchorman :...What scientists are describing as a rare astronomical event, Smallville, Kansas was hit by the second meteor shower in sixteen years, killing twenty-three people and injuring scores of others.

Clark: They didn't get out. My parents didn't get out.

Chloe: Smallville needs you more than I do Clark. Go. Go! Whoa.

Lana: Mr. Luthor. Mr. Luthor! Are you okay?

Lionel: The disciples of Zod. They must be stopped!

Lana: You're talking about the people from the ship.

Lionel: Their home is their only poison. Their home is their only poison.

Lana: Where are they?

Jonathan: Ah, Martha Kent! If you were trying to scare me, you did one heck of a job. For a minute there, I thought I lost you.

Martha: I guess I found my way back. Has Clark come home?

Jonathan: Sweetheart, please, you need to use all of your energies just to get better, not to worry about Clark. Our son can handle anything that's thrown his way. 

Lois: Mrs. Kent! I have to say, you look a whole lot better without a china cabinet on your back.

Martha: Hi, Lois. It's good to see you.

Jonathan: Lois was quite a hero out there.

Lois: You guys put a roof over my head. Least I could do was help out when it came crashing down. 

Male Kryptonian: Where is Kal-El?

Jonathan: Who are you?

Female Kryptonian: You know where he is.

Jonathan: I'm sorry, lady. I don't know who you're talking about.

Lois: Okay, everyone needs to calm down and count to ten. Put the nice man down.  Look, super freak, you wanna find your Kal-El buddy; you need to start working on your communication skills. 

Lana: I know where Kal-El is. He's hiding out at the Luthor mansion. I can take you to him.

Lois: (hoarsely) Lana!

Clark: Mom! Dad?

Lex: Clark! Thank God you're okay.

Clark: Where's my mom and dad?

Lex: At the hospital. Your mom has a broken leg and a concussion, but she's going to be okay. She's out of danger now.

Clark: What about Lana?

Lex: Lana's safe. It's Chloe I'm worried about.

Clark: Why?

Lex: Clark, she was down in the cave with me when the meteors hit. I was knocked out and when I came to, she was gone.

Clark: She must have escaped while you were unconscious.

Lex: Or someone helped her out.

Clark: What? You think I did? Lex, how could I--

Lex: Clark, before I passed out, there was a light brighter than anything I've ever seen. I could've sworn I saw you standing right in it's epicenter.

Clark: I was nowhere near those caves.

Lex: If you weren't with your parents when the meteors hit, where have you been?

Clark: They insisted I get a head start. I got a ride on one of the military vans.

Lex: Why do I get this nagging feeling that you're being less than honest with me?

Clark: I have no idea.

Lex: Well, I'm beginning to get the impression that lying is an unshakable habit of yours.

Clark: I don't have to listen to this.

Lex: Then be straight with me for once.  If you're my friend, just tell me the truth. Were you in the cave when the meteors hit?

Clark: No.

Lois: Look, I understand the police have their hands full, but Mr. and Mrs. Universe--they're killing people.

Clark: Lois!

Lois: Clark! You're okay!

Clark: Yeah, you?

Lois: I'm fine.

Clark: Have you seen my parents?

Lois: They are going to be fine.

Clark: Where are they?

Lois: Actually, um, we have another problem. Kind of a big problem, really. A happy loving couple came  through here with super powers and a really bad attitude. Got pretty ugly.

Clark: What'd they want?

Lois: They were looking for some guy named Kal-El. You ever hear of him?

Clark: Where'd they go?

Lana: Kal-El's in there.

Female Kryptonian: It's a trick! Get the door! Seal it!

Male Kryptonian: Lying is their way.

Female Kryptonian: Not for long.

Clark: I heard you are looking for me. I'm Kal-El.

Male Kryptonian: At last!

Clark: Who are you?

Female Kryptonian: The last survivors of Krypton.

Clark: What do you want?

Male Kryptonian: We want you to join us, Kal-El, and help us make this savage land our Utopia.

Clark: I saw what you did at the hospital. It's not Utopia; it's murder!

Male Kryptonian: The few must be sacrificed for the sake of the many.

Clark: Then sacrifice me, 'cause I'm not going to let you kill anyone else.

Female Kryptonian: If that is your decision, so be it, Kal-El.

Male Kryptonian: We can't destroy you, Kal-El, but we can lock you in a place where you can't stop us.

Clark begins to slip, losing his grip.

Male Kryptonian: It is done.

Lana: Oh, Clark!

Clark: Are you okay?

Lana: Where are they?

Clark: They're gone. Do you know who they were? We need to get you to a hospital. 

Martha: My God, our home!

Jonathan: It's just wood and plaster, Martha. The fact is, our family's still standing. We might be bruised, but I think we're stronger for it.

Martha: You're right. A house can always be rebuilt.

Jonathan: It doesn't hurt to have a one man construction team as a son.

Martha, to Clark: Hi.

Clark: Hi.

Jonathan: Don't worry, Clark. Things are gonna get back to normal soon enough.

Clark: Actually, things will be a lot more normal around here than you think. My abilities are gone.

Martha: How?

Clark: Jor-El took them, but I'm not sure it's such a bad thing. All I've ever wanted was to be normal. Now, finally, I am.

Jonathan: I don't think this adjustment is going to be quite as easy as you do, Clark.

Clark: But that's why I'm lucky to have parents like you. Every time I woke up and had a new ability, you were always there to help me adjust and this time is no different.

Martha: It's different. You can get hurt now; you're vulnerable.

Clark: Isn't that what it means to be human?

Jonathan: Nah, I-I can't imagine Jor-El giving up on you that easy.

Clark: I took care of the danger he warned me about. If losing my abilities is the consequence, then I think he's done with me. Look, it's all in the past now. I'm ready to take a step to the future. I'll start by rebuilding this house, one board at a time.

Chloe: Clark?

Lex: Now, how could Clark possibly be here? We're in the middle of the Yukon.

Chloe: I don't know. I must've been dreaming, I guess. What's going on, Lex?

Lex: I came to take you home.

Lois: Clark! Really, you shouldn't have. 

Clark: Actually, I didn't.

Lois: Too sweet for words.

Clark: How'd you get that frog in your throat?

Lois: That's what happens when you get a neck massage form Barbie the Barbarian. Doctor says I shouldn't talk too much.

Clark: Oh, gee. That's too bad.

Lois: Don't get your hopes up, Smallville. It's not permanent. Oh, I gotta catch a plane for Geneva in two hours. If I'm late, the general will court-martial me or something.

Clark: You know, I did wanna say thank you. You were there for my parents. It means a lot.

Lois: I'm sure it does. But, not enough to give me this deluxe Iris arrangement from Main Street Florist. She's down the hall. Room 258.

Clark: I hope irises are still on your favorite flowers list.

Lana: Some things stay number one forever. Thank you.

Clark: Lana, before the meteor shower, you came by the barn. You said some things. A few words sorta stood out. 

Lana: Clark, the sky was literally about to fall down on us. I never knew if I'd see you again.

Clark: Right. We were in the middle of a crisis. Sometimes people say things they don't mean.

Lana: Clark, I meant every word. The question is, did you?

Clark: No more secrets. No more lies.

Lana: Clark, I wanna ask you something: do you believe in life on other planets?

Clark: Actually, I do.

Lana: I saw something that in crater. It was a spaceship, Clark. It was unbelievable.
