[DOOR OPENS]

MAN: Killer view.

Good morning, Mr. Rickman.
Thank you for coming in.

So, what can I do for the Center
for Environmental Protection?

I heard your people were in
Smallville doing some surveying.

I wanted to discuss your intentions.

My intentions are to build a new plant.

What's this?

Ground water from the last
town where you built a plant.

Well, I find that very hard to believe.

Rickman Industries has always had a
very good relationship with the CEP, Paul.

-Can I call you Paul?
-No.

Tomorrow I'll have a restraining order
preventing you from moving into Smallville

until every case against you is settled.

It's too bad. I... Well, I have
my mind set on Smallville.

This town has a
special place in my heart.

I don't suppose there's anything
I could do to change your mind.

I'm afraid I'm not as easy
to buy off as my colleagues.

I've never bought off a soul in my life.

People listen to me because I'm right.

When they do, they end up better for it.

Tell that to the 96 cases
of vinyl chloride poisoning

I've tied to your pesticide plants.

Well, I see there's little else to do.

Just want to tell you how
much I appreciate your candor.

I wish you luck.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Now, listen, Paul... I
can call you Paul, can't I?

Uh...

I guess.

Now, you strike me as
a man of passion, Paul.

Passion hurts, doesn't it? Hm?

People don't understand. They don't see
how you devote yourself to what's right.

I bet you're afraid.

You give all that passion to a
job no one even cares about.

-No.
-Hmm.

-Yes.
-Yes.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

Look at that world out there, Paul.

Is any part of it yours?

No.

All that pain you feel, there's
only one way to make it stop.

[ELEVATOR CHIMES]

Going down?

[ELEVATOR CHIMES]

WOMAN: Thanks.

[WOMEN SCREAM]

Tyler, bring the car around.
We're going to Smallville.

CHLOE: Okay, here we go. Whoa.

Gosh. I thought learning to
drive my dad's Volvo was difficult

but at least the car
had windshield wipers.

-You're doing fine for your first time.
-No, no, we're turning.

-Ooh...
-CLARK: So how's Whitney holding up?

His dad's still in the hospital, so he's
been working extra shifts at the store.

It's tough running a family business.

He secretly wants his dad to sell it.
He doesn't want it when he graduates.

I don't blame him. I don't see
myself being a farmer when I grow up.

-Well, what do you want to do?
-I'm not sure

as long as it doesn't involve putting
on a suit and doing a lot of flying.

I dropped my camera.

What'd you bring that thing for anyway?

I'm not out here doing this
butt-bashing thing for fun.

These woods are like the
Bermuda Triangle of Smallville.

People come in here, and when
they leave they can't remember a thing.

There've been dozens of
incidents the past ten years.

-LANA: I'll go get you your camera.
-CHLOE: Thank you.

The stories in these woods
go back to the Civil War.

No, what I'm talking about
happened a week ago.

Surveyors from Rickman
Industries came out screaming

-and can't remember what happened.
-You have a theory.

-Kyle Tippett.
-The guy who sells weird sculptures?

Don't you think it's odd that he
lives all alone out here in the woods?

Thoreau did.

Yeah, Clark, so did the Unabomber.

[LANA SCREAMS]

Lana.

-Stay with the horses.
-Okay. Uh...

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay, okay.

Easy, easy.

[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

[GASPS]

Get away from her!

-You okay?
-Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

[HAUNTING MUSIC PLAYING]

JONATHAN: What do
you think happened, son?

I don't know, but it just doesn't
look like he's trying to hurt her.

-Okay, Nell. Thanks. Bye.
-How's Lana?

A mild concussion.
Other than that, she's fine.

-And Nell?
-That's a different story.

She wants Clark to go to
the police and say he saw Kyle

spook Lana's horse and attack her.

That's not what I saw.

I don't think we've
heard the end of this.

Did Kyle seem at all dangerous to you?

He seemed scared.

Chloe said some surveyors were
spooked last week, and now us.

I wonder if there's a connection.

Jonathan, go talk to
Kyle. Get this cleared up.

-Yeah.
-No, I'll go.

-I don't think that's a good idea.
-It's not like he can hurt me.

That is not the point.

Dad, I understand what it's
like to be hidden from the world.

Give me a shot.

Do you know where Kyle lives?

I just follow the trail
of bad sculptures.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

Miss Hardwick, I'm surprised
to find you in Smallville.

It grows on you after a while.

Don't encourage him, Victoria.

It's funny.

I was just saying what this town needs
is more pesticides in the water supply.

Now, don't tell me you mind someone
else sharing your little sandbox.

Only when they're
polluting it. Hello, Bob.

Lex?

I'll leave you boys alone.

Photos are a bit over the top, but I
like what you've done with the place.

Oh, it's only temporary.

Here, have a button.

Enough of these, and they won't notice
you're rendering the town uninhabitable.

I'm just like you, Lex.

A government employee sets
my emissions levels, and I abide.

Do you have an objection?

Let's call it an interest.
Smallville's my home now.

That's right. Yes, Lionel had
mentioned that he'd exiled you here.

-Had dinner with him a couple weeks ago.
-Yeah? What happened?

Somebody more important cancel on him?

[CHUCKLES]

Don't worry, Lex, I'll keep my
concerns away from the Luthors.

I found the perfect place for the plant.
It's out of the way, it's near the river.

-The Kent farm?
-Hm.

I assume you've approached them.

It's just a formality.

The way licenses and zoning permits
always seem to be a formality for you.

I know the Kents, and not even you
can convince them to sell that farm.

You'd be surprised.

Trust me, Bob, you're not that charming.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

You're trespassing.

How'd you do that?

Magic. Haven't you heard of Crazy
Kyle who lives in the woods by himself?

He's somewhere between
Bigfoot and the Blair Witch.

-I'm...
-Clark Kent, Jonathan and Martha's son.

How'd you know?

I live in a trailer, not a cave.

I wanted to talk to you about
what happened this afternoon.

You mean the girl?

The horse threw her, and I
made sure she was breathing.

CLARK: So you don't make a habit
of scaring people out of the woods

and spooking their horses?

If I wanted to explain myself
all the time, I'd get a job.

But I left that world behind
for a reason. Goodbye.

Why are you so unfriendly?

-Because I'm not interested in friends.
-Everyone needs a friend.

No, they don't

because they'll always
betray you in the end.

[JENNIFER KNAPP'S "INTO YOU" PLAYING]

♪ She's a wannabe hero... ♪

How are you feeling?

Better, thanks.

Nell said you're going
to talk to the police.

Actually, I went out and spoke to Kyle.

WHITNEY: You talked to that psycho?

Yeah.

[CLEARS THROAT]

He said he was making sure Lana was okay.

-Do you believe him?
-Yeah, I think I do.

If I were there, I would
have done something.

♪ Better than I do
Relieve me from myself... ♪

-Do you remember anything?
-Not really.

I gotta get home. I'm glad you're okay.

That looked uncomfortable.

Listen, has Bob Rickman been by the farm?

-Why would he be interested in us?
-He's interested in buying your land.

You have met my dad.
Why are you even worried?

I've seen Rickman talk people out of
house and home. He's a locust, Clark.

He tears through a community
and betrays anyone who trusts him.

Tell your dad to be careful.

Okay.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

Hello, Kyle. Wondering
when you'd stop by.

We had an agreement.

You do whatever you want with the rest
of the world, but leave this town alone.

Well, we made those rules a long
time ago. The world's changed, Kyle.

Maybe it's time the public knew
the whole truth about Bob Rickman.

The public believes whatever I tell them.

I spent nine years honing my
skill while you hid in the woods

because you were afraid.

Take my hand. See how afraid I am.

You've been warned.

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

CLARK: Kyle, what are you doing here?

I just registered a complaint.

What do you have against Rickman?

There used to be a time when
people minded their own business.

WHITNEY: Hey, Tippett!

-And what's your problem?
-You are.

Touch Lana Lang again,
and I'll take care of you.

-Whitney, back off.
-I've got my eye on you.

-That's why I don't come into town.
-You want a ride home?

Why are you so nice to me?

You're not a bad guy. You're
just not a people person.

-What gave that away?
-You want a ride or not?

Yeah, I gotta stop and get groceries.

No problem.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry, I couldn't help overhearing.

Are you having a
problem with Kyle Tippett?

Yeah, he attacked my girlfriend.

Bob Rickman.

Maybe I can help.

Thanks for the ride,
I really appreciate it.

Next time, don't talk my ear off.

Hey, um, why were you at Rickman's?

Why were you at Rickman's?

I heard a rumor he was
trying to buy our farm.

Stay away from him.

Do you miss it? Regular life, I mean?

Some people weren't meant
to have a regular life, Clark.

Thanks.

Bye.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Whitney.

[KYLE SCREAMS]

[WHITNEY COUGHING]

[INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

They're booking Kyle for assault.

All right, what happened, guys?

I saw Kyle in town. He blew
me off, so I came out here to talk.

You drove out here in
the middle of the night?

Yeah. I had a feeling he
was gonna attack Lana again.

Next thing I know, he
attacks me with a bat.

Is that what happened?

I did see Kyle swing at Whitney, but...

But what?

Kyle says Whitney swung at him first.

That's crazy. Why would I do that?

I don't know. None of
this makes any sense.

Yes, it does. First he attacks
Lana, then he comes after me.

-The guy needs to be locked up!
-We've all had a rough night.

-Just calm down.
-You saw it with your own eyes.

That freak tried to kill me!
Now you're saying it's my fault?

[CITIZEN COPE'S "MISTAKEN ID" PLAYING]

♪ It seems like you've mistaken me... ♪

He's been a hermit for years, and suddenly
he's one of Smallville's most wanted.

-Something must have made him snap.
-I think it's Bob Rickman.

Yeah, but what does our rural
Rodin have against Rickman

other than the obvious
poisoning-the-environment angle?

I don't know. Could you do
some digging, find a connection?

Yeah, absolutely. Sounds
like an interesting story.

Tree-hugging hermit
versus pesticide tycoon.

-What do you think they have in common?
-Definitely not their grooming habits.

[PETE CHUCKLES]

Lana.

Hey, what's wrong?

Can you give us a minute?

Yeah.

Whitney said you accused
him of attacking Kyle.

I didn't accuse him. I
have some questions.

-Like what?
-Like why was he there?

He was just trying to talk to him.

We both know Whitney
can be a little overzealous

but his heart's in the right place.

I just don't think Kyle would
do that. He doesn't seem violent.

You can tell from
knowing him for two days?

He's lived in the woods
alone for 10 years.

But that makes him odd, not dangerous.

Whitney wouldn't attack anybody.

He strung me up in a field.

So that's what this is about?
You haven't forgiven him.

Lana, I just think there's
something else going on here.

Yeah, there is. You're looking
for an excuse to knock Whitney.

You know what he's going
through right now with his dad.

If you don't like him, just say
it. Don't pretend to be his friend.

[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

You know, a barn's no
place for shoes like that.

Didn't like them that much anyway.

Bob Rickman, Rickman Industries.

I know who you are.

You probably know why I'm here.

I hear you're interested in this farm,
and you're a very persuasive fellow.

I gotta tell you, there's not a snowball's
chance in hell I'd consider selling,

especially not to Rickman Industries.

You got a problem with progress?

No. I'm skeptical about anybody who thinks
they can solve my problems with money.

Why is that?

Well, because if I was interested in
money, I wouldn't be a farmer, would I?

If you'll excuse me, I
got some real work to do.

[GROANS]

-What happened? You all right?
-Oh, I think I twisted my ankle.

I guess you were right about these shoes.

Could you give me a hand?

[HEARTBEAT POUNDING]

Now, are you sure I can't
convince you to change your mind?

How could you do this without telling me?

What happened to
"This land is our legacy"?

-What's going on, guys?
-Your father sold the farm to Bob Rickman.

What? How?

One minute I'm telling him
he doesn't stand a chance.

The next, I got a signed contract.

I called our lawyer. He said he can't
do anything until he sees the contract

but the devil-made-me-do-it
argument wouldn't hold up in court.

-Just can't believe I did this.
-What did Rickman do?

He made his case, he
shook my hand. That was it.

-It can't be that easy.
-How else do you explain my signature?

-I know someone who can help.
-No!

I will not owe Lex Luthor
anything, thank you.

Right now, you don't
have anything to owe.

So, what time are you
working at the store tomorrow?

Ouch. What's that all about?

I won't cave on my opinion of Kyle
Tippett. It put me on the outs with Lana.

So you're Atticus.

Atticus Finch, To Kill a Mockingbird?

-Never read it.
-You should.

You two have a lot in common.
Small-town heroes, believe in the truth,

not willing to back down.

How's it end?

It's not about the ending.
It's about the journey.

What kills me is that I know I'm right.
I just wish I could get them to see it.

That, my friend, is
the key to leadership,

knowing you're right
and convincing everyone.

If you can do that,
the world's your oyster.

Right now, I'd settle
for getting our farm back.

The good news is, the deal's
three times market value.

The bad news is, it's ironclad,
meaning it'll take a dozen extra lawyers.

Fortunately, I've got an army of them.

For once I think my parents
will be glad for your help.

I wonder what Rickman
said to convince your father.

I know the farm's in debt, but he'll
pave it and turn it into a wasteland,

hardly better than the offers I made.

I just know my father
would never sell the farm.

Except that he did. Rickman's known
for getting past people's defenses

but that's just good business. Unless
you think there's more to it than that.

Where are you going?

Jail.

Got a call you had a
problem, Mr. Rickman.

Yes, thank you for coming by, deputy.

No problem.

I need you to take care of an old friend.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

Let's go, on your feet.
You have a visitor here.

CLARK: Kyle!

[GUN COCKS]

No!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

LEX: How bad?

It's no worse than when Ozzy snorted
that row of fire ants down in Queensland.

Is this guy really a doctor?

He was. Now he's more
of an on-call specialist.

You know, actors, rock
stars, billionaires' sons.

-How do you know him?
-Long story.

What's a guy gotta do to
get a drink around here?

Finish sewing.

Don't worry, Toby appreciates discretion.
Nobody will ever know Kyle was here.

Thanks.

I'm curious, why did you think
I'd be willing to harbor a fugitive?

My parents would freak, and if I took him

to a hospital, they'd
put him back in jail.

You're the only one I could trust.

All in all, it's easier than
that knife wound of yours.

Club Zero, remember that?
Blood all over my Mustang.

Can we talk to him now?

I gave him something for the pain.

It's lights out until the morning.

My usual payment?

Brown bag on my desk.

-See you, Toby.
-Lex.

You'd better get home. It's late.

Hey, Atticus, you may
want to change your shirt.

[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

LANA: Hi, Clark.

You're the last person
I expected to find here.

I heard Kyle Tippett escaped.
I was a little freaked out.

He's not coming after anybody.

-How do you know?
-I just do.

Sorry I bothered you.

If you were worried, why did you walk
all the way over here instead of calling?

I don't know. I thought you
might've changed your opinion.

Well, if you came over for
an apology, you're out of luck.

Clark, he escaped from jail. You
have to admit it looks pretty bad.

-You don't know the whole story.
-Then tell me. What is it?

I don't know yet. You've already made up
your mind about him, so what do you care?

I wanted to clear the air
and preserve our friendship

but now I don't even know why I bothered.

WOMAN: Here you go.

LEX: Thank you.

Hello, Lex.

Oh, come on, Lex, this Art
of War stuff is for amateurs.

It's not that. I just don't like you.

So my attorney tells me that my purchase
of the Kent farm is being challenged.

I warned you the Kents
were a tough nut to crack.

I recognize LuthorCorp lawyers
when I see them. Why are you involved?

Smallville's my home, and
the Kents are my friends.

Well, with friends like you, Lex...

Don't touch me.

Speaking of old friends, I heard
Kyle Tippett escaped from jail.

Now, why do you assume we're old friends?

Just a rumor.

Have you seen him?

I never met the man, but I'll be sure
to pass on your regards when I do.

How'd you get my dad
to sign that contract?

Oh, you must be the Kent boy.

I'm a good businessman.
No hard feelings, huh?

CHLOE: I spent the morning delving
into the world of agriculture equipment

and it seems that Kyle and
Rickman were partners in the '80s.

-They sold farm equipment?
-Yeah.

They were salesmen of the year
three years running, '89, '90, '91.

The next year, Rickman started his
own company, and Kyle went Walden.

-What happened?
-CHLOE: I don't know

but I found this story in the Ledger.

"Salesmen trapped in
car after meteor shower."

I'm guessing whatever's going on started
that sunny October day, 12 years ago.

-Let's go ask him.
-Wait, you know where he is?

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

[DOOR OPENS]

Where's Kyle?

Who?

I think I know where he went.

I appreciate the help, but I'm done here.

-We know Rickman was your partner.
-A million years ago.

What happened to you
guys in that meteor shower?

Trust me, you're not the only
ones that were affected by it.

What's going on with you and Rickman?
How did he get my dad to sell our farm?

You know, until that day, we were the
worst salesmen to ever carry a catalog.

All that changed after they
pulled us out of that car.

With a handshake we could get people
to do whatever we wanted them to do,

buy a tractor, stand on one leg.

You had the power of persuasion?

How long does it last?

Until the person does
what I tell them to do.

It could be two minutes, two hours.

Then they come out
of it without a memory.

What happens if they can't do it?

They keep trying unless they're forcibly

snapped out of it, like
your friend Whitney.

Well, it sounds good in theory,
but how about you prove it?

-Chloe.
-What?

The guy lives in a crappy trailer.

If he has this power, he'd
use it to sell these sculptures.

It's dangerous.

I'm used to living on the edge.

You have feelings for Clark, don't you,
Chloe? You see him, and you want him.

All this time, you've been
hiding it. Now you can show him.

[CHLOE MOANS]

Okay, come on, I'm ready.

What? Why are you
looking at me like that?

And why is my mouth minty?

Let's just say he proved his point.

Oh, God, did I just...?

Don't worry, it was fine.

Well, now that the party
trick's over, I gotta hit the road.

Wait, you have these gifts,
but you hid in the woods. Why?

Because I was scared that I
wouldn't be able to control it

-and I'd wind up like Bob.
-What happened between you two?

-Why does he want to kill you?
-He knows that I know his secret

and I threatened to expose
him if he built a plant here.

Yeah, but he's been destroying
communities like this for years.

-How come you let him get away with it?
-I wanted to be left alone!

-If it wasn't here, it wasn't my problem.
-My dad lost our farm because of you.

Do you know what it's like to have
to hide because of who you are?

Yes, I do.

But when you have a gift, you can't
just hide in a hole and hope it goes away.

How did you get in?

Oh, your guard at the front gate
let me through. He's a great guy.

I didn't realize we had a meeting.

We don't. I come with an olive branch.

You can call off your lawyers.

I'm dropping the Kent
farm as a proposed site.

What's the matter? Losing your touch?

I've just decided Smallville
really isn't worth the hassle.

-Ah.
-At least I know where I'm not wanted.

Okay, then. Thanks for stopping by.

Well, since you won, how about it? Truce?

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

-LEX: Hello?
-Lex, it's me.

What's going on?

I'm with Kyle. He wants to
go public about Rickman.

No kidding? What does he know?

CLARK: Enough to bring him down.

All right, I'm coming to
pick you up. Where are you?

I called friends at the
Planet and the inquisitor.

Would you be willing to talk to them?

I'll do what I have to to stop him.

Get in. I have to fill up if
we're going to Metropolis.

Thanks, Lex.

[CAR ALARM CHIRPS]

Lex?

What's going on?

Rickman's got to him!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Clark, you have some explaining to do.

[CAR APPROACHES]

What just happened?

I have my suspicions.

I hate to think that you
failed to get the job done.

Relax, failing isn't something I do.

Just in case.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

I always knew you were
keeping secrets from me, Clark.

But I never thought they were this good.

[GROANS]

Clark, you know that guy
you're trying to protect?

I'm gonna shoot him now.

Lex.

There you are.

Don't do this. I'm your friend.

Oh, please. You think I don't see
the way your parents look at me,

the way half the town looks
at me? You're no different.

Friendship's a fairy tale, Clark. Respect
and fear are the best you can hope for.

-Rickman's doing this to you.
-What if he did?

-You hate Rickman.
-You can learn a lot from those you hate.

Hello, Bob.

CLARK: Lex!

[GUNSHOT]

I always was the better salesman.

Are you okay?

I saw you get shot, Clark.

Don't worry. Just don't
hide in the woods like I did.

You got a gift. Use
it to do great things.

I think I'll do the same with mine.

MARTHA: I can't believe each
one of these bruises was a bullet.

-Sorry.
-Guess that answers that question.

It's weird. I get shot at, and the
bullets are fired by my best friend.

-What do you think happened to Kyle?
-I don't know,

but I think he's out in the world
trying to make a difference now.

[KNOCKING]

Hi, I hope I'm not interrupting.

No, come on in.

We'll, uh, be outside.

I didn't know if we were still talking.

I'm not sure what happened with
Kyle, and it's really not important

because I think our friendship is
worth more than one argument.

Yeah, me too.

You know, I thought we
were done there for a while.

You and me are gonna be
friends for a very long time.

We may have our ups and downs,
but that's just the way it works.

Did Chloe really kiss you?

LEX: Clark.

Hey.

Tell your dad I spoke to my lawyers.
Because of Rickman's untimely demise,

they're not expanding.
They ripped up the contract.

-Thanks.
-Hey, what are friends for?

How're you feeling?

I still don't remember what happened.
Are you sure I didn't hurt you?

I wonder where Kyle is now?

I don't know.

It's still strange to think he and
Rickman were once best friends.

Think we'll ever end up like that?

Trust me, Clark. Our friendship
is gonna be the stuff of legend.
