I can't believe I trusted him. 408 00:41:30,923 --> 00:41:34,256 Without that file, at least the police can't find out anything about me. 409 00:41:35,161 --> 00:41:37,425 To think I made this job such a big priority... 410 00:41:37,597 --> 00:41:41,260 ...and Lionel may have only hired me to learn more about Clark. 411 00:41:42,502 --> 00:41:46,268 Sorry, Mom. I know how important your work has been to you. 412 00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:49,174 It's not more important than you. 413 00:41:50,376 --> 00:41:52,071 Wait. 414 00:41:53,079 --> 00:41:55,479 Are you sure that this is the best thing to do? 415 00:41:55,748 --> 00:41:57,409 - Quit, I mean. - What do you mean? 416 00:41:57,583 --> 00:41:59,175 I thought you'd be happy about it. 417 00:41:59,686 --> 00:42:01,517 If you hadn't been working for Lionel... 418 00:42:01,688 --> 00:42:05,419 ...then we'd have no way of knowing that he was keeping tabs on Clark. 419 00:42:05,825 --> 00:42:08,191 So instead of staying away from him... 420 00:42:08,361 --> 00:42:11,353 Maybe we should take a page out of the Luthor playbook. 421 00:42:42,228 --> 00:42:45,925 - Sweetheart. You coming up? - In a minute.
