Smallville

Previously on Smallville...

I wear the symbol of our family every day

to remind me that I have a different destiny.

/| have waited so long for you to admit your true Kryptonian heritage.

My Earth father warned me not to play God.

But I tempted fate, and because of that, he died.

When you saw my fate, what did you see?

Although Lex Luthor is your ultimate opponent,

you will triumph over him.

You walk the same path I do, Chloe Sullivan.

Watchtower is officially online.

You saved my life, Chloe.

Both the myth and the man.

So what do you say, kid? Africa.

Perry White. He's offered me a job at the foreign desk in Kenya.

- What would make you stay? - I would stay for you.

I think you leaving Metropolis is the best thing for you right now.

You are the only one that can save us.

The war has already begun.

But what if every trial has just been a preparation

for you to make the ultimate sacrifice?

You have the capacity to break the chains

that are holding you down, Clark.

You will soar higher than any one of us.

Clark.

Ollie, you need to get out of there now.

- Ollie! - Chloe!

They're not Kandorian.

And now, the final season of Smallville.

Clark! Clark. No.

Clark?

No.

Clark.

Please.

Please come back to me.

Kal-El.

Jor-El.

Am I dead?

You're teetering on the abyss between life and death...

which is why I am still able to reach you.

My father's grave.

Why show me this?

After you die,

this stone will be all that is left of you in the world.

I died to save the world.

Evil never ends.

By sacrificing yourself,

you've left the humans vulnerable to future threats.

I left a team of heroes behind to protect them.

You were meant to be Earth's greatest protector.

Now they're about to face the greatest evil without you.

Then send me back.

I know my fate.

To step into the light. To be a symbol of hope for them.

I told you to rule with strength,

but you chose the martyr's path.

What makes you think you deserve a second chance?

I can do it. I can be their hero.

Jor-El?

Let me fight this evil like I always have.

Send me back!

Lex.

Oh, God, Clark.

Clark.

Clark.

Clark. Clark. Clark.

Okay.

Somebody save me.

Let your warm hands Break right through.

Somebody save me.

Don't care how you do it.

Just stay, stay.

Come on

I've been waiting for you.

Just stay with me

I've made this whole world Shine for you.

Just stay, stay.

Come on

Chloe, they're not Kandorian.

I love you.

We're coming for all of you.

- Clark? You survived. How did you... - I didn't.

Zod stabbed me with Blue Kryptonite.

It kept us from ascending.

I took the knife from him and sent him away.

And I guess I kind of... Kind of died.

But I'm here now. And what about the others? Did they make it?

They're fine. Can we go back to the part where you died?

It was more of a near-death experience.

Jor-El told me that greater evil was coming.

He sent me back to fight it.

Okay, I'm all for second chances,

but did he happen to give this greater evil a name?

No, but, Chloe, before I left, I saw Lex.

Dr. Fate said that he would be my ultimate opponent.

Coming back to life, not exactly covered by an HMO.

Maybe he went off the grid, to one of his own facilities.

I kept a pretty close eye on any Luthor flare-ups.

I mean, Level 3, Metro Pharmaceuticals, 33.1.

Clark, all these projects are dead.

Maybe he revived something from years ago.

Way back when there wasn't much digital record to track.

You know, Clark, if they did a story on this at the Daily Planet,

they would have a hard copy stored in the archives.

I didn't get rid of Zod just to let some other evil take his place.

Lana.

Pete.

Chloe.

And Mr. and Mrs. K were always so overprotective.

I'm the last one to know.

Lois.

- I thought you'd be in Africa by now. - Ipostponed my trip.

Maybe indefinitely.

This wouldn't have anything to do with The Blur, would it?

Well, kind of.

Turns out he needs me after all.

Really? Well, what makes you say that?

Well, I'll tell you, Clark.

He just wrapped me up in his muscular arms...

pulled me close and landed the most passionate kiss on my lips.

I can't lie to you.

It was great.

That was bold.

Grabbing women from the shadows, lip-smacking them,

and then running off into the night?

Kind of makes you wonder what other little twisted fetishes

he has in his tool box.

So, Clark, did you come here for a reason?

Pressing story, maybe?

Actual... Yeah, I'm on a really tight, uh, deadline.

Whoops! Would you look at that? I dropped my pen.

I'm just gonna... look for it.

Normally, I wouldn't deal with these dust bunnies,

but it's kind of my favorite pen.

Not seeing it.

Where are you, pen?

Found it.

Lucky for me, it was right here on top of these files, so...

Hmm.

I'll go.

Wait, Clark.

Yeah, Lois? What is it?

We need to talk.

Well, I get now is not the time. There's so much that I wanna tell you.

Barn? Later?

I'll be there.

Chloe, I found a research facility linked

to LuthorCorp that wasn't in your files.

Cadmus Labs. Think you can dig up an address for me?

Sorry, Clark, I would, but I'm not exactly

at Watchtower right now.

She's here. Foolish girl.

Who was that?

But not chosen.

Love is dangerous. Nabu knows.

Chloe, where are you?

Sorry, Clark, but I knew you'd only try and stop me.

Show me where Oliver is.

Would you sacrifice your sanity to save the archer?

Chloe.

You know what I think?

I think this whole thing will be a helluva whole lot more painful

if I can see your ugly face.

So what do you say we ditch this little blindfold here and go full monty, huh?

You up for that?

Well, it only seems fair you not see me.

The world sat blind

while cryptic symbols were carved into its greatest monuments...

because all Earth's satellites were either shut down or destroyed.

All but one...

yours.

Well, I can explain that.

See, I always buy quality over quantity.

Your satellite was tracking them.

Symbols that looked just like The Blur's,

which makes him a person of interest.

But what's your connection to all this?

I told you.

You got this whole thing wrong, okay?

I'm what you call a good guy here!

I'm not guilty of anything except trying to save the world, all right?

And I would tell you who from...

but I don't think you'd believe me.

Try me.

These little green guys from outer space.

I'm just getting started.

How?

How? God, that's impossible.

Cadmus.
