[telephone ringing]

[ringing continues]

Hello.

I'd like to talk to Johnathan Kent.

(female on telephone) He is not here right now, can I ask who is calling?

An old army buddy. We were in the Korean war together.

Oh, well, this is Mrs. Kent.

When will he be back?

He went to the bus depot to pick up our son.

He'll be back soon.

Can I ask who is calling?

I'm sure he'd love to see you.

[dramatic music]

[engine rumbling]

It's about time, Bill.

Or should I say it's about time to get a new carburetor.

[chuckles] Yeah.

[engine rumbling]

Are you sure Sunny's gonna pick us up?

No, we like standing around here looking at empty busses.

He should be here.

I'll give him a call.

It'd be nice if we picked up some flowers for Mrs. Kent.

Oh, yeah, I don't see any flowers.

I meant the florist over there.

- Uh-oh. - What? What is it?

It's my bag with all my comedy routines.

I must've left it on the bus.

I've heard them. Nobody's gonna take them.

At least nobody with a brain.

Lana, I'll make the jokes.

Okay.

[engine rumbling]

[male #1] Hey, beautiful.

How about a ride?

The best ride you've never had, sweetheart.

[engines roaring]

Hey!

Guys, I think we got our self another passenger here.

- Leave me alone. - Leave her alone, uh?

Well, looks like the girl's got a bodyguard here.

Bingo.

You should have kept you're big mouth shut.

Leave him alone!

Come on, man!

Another big mouth, that's heard from.

We don't want any trouble.

- Look-- - I'll handle this.

You see these hands? These are real weapons.

I've had them registered.

Where?

At the public library under eight.

This is no time for your jokes. Come on.

No, no. Don't stop him.

He is a real joker.

See if you think this is funny.

Come on, leave her alone.

- Don't do that man. - What about this?

[upbeat music]

[grunting]

[grunting continues]

Hey!

Hey, wait!

How are you? You alright?

It's good you got here. I had him on the ropes.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Sure you did.

Clark, what's this all about?

Nothing much, Pa.

These guys were just passing through town, weren't ya?

Well, just keep going right through town.

You know that sign that welcomes you to Smallville?

You keep going till you see it in you're mirrors.

[engines rumbling]

Everybody here okay?

- Yeah. - We are now.

Sorry I'm late.

What happen?

My carburator broke down.

Willie's gonna lend me his station wagon.

Ma's cookin' up a big feast.

So let's go put the feed bag on, uh?

Oh, yeah, I can almost smell the turkey.

She has turkey on my first day back.

[chuckles]

[dramatic music]

[reminiscing Korean war screams]

Just need it for one week, uh?

Well, that's the strangest deal I ever made.

It's all I want it for.

Darn thing's been deserted for 15 years

then a man comes and offers me a thousand dollars for one week.

I would have rented it to for six months for that kinda money.

You don't mind my askin', what do you need it for?

I mind.

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

[sighs] Everything was so delicious.

Oh, thank you, Lana.

No, TJ and I can take care of these.

- We will? - That's the least we can do.

Yes, the least.

Martha, no one can put a Turkey together like you can.

That's the second time you've said that since dessert.

And, I'm gonna keep on saying that

until you stop all this unnecessary worryin'.

What worryin'?

Apparently, we got a call from this X army buddy of mine.

All of a sudden you're mom's building a case about it.

Well, why wouldn't he tell me his name?

Now, who knows?

I don't like the way he sounded

and don't you tell me it was because we had a bad connection.

There was hate in his voice.

Now, Martha..

[glass shattering]

I better get in there before we run out of dishes.

And, don't you, "Now Martha" me.

[mumbling]

I don't know, Pa. She's got pretty good instincts.

Well, she does that.

But, it was just an army friend of mine

who was passing through town, that's all.

Your ma chased us out of the kitchen.

But, with a smile.

What are you kids gonna do this afternoon?

I have to get our house ready.

My mom's comin' in tomorrow mornin'.

Can you give her a ride TJ? I can hang out.

No, Clark..

...why don't you guys take the pick-up and go in into town?

Don't let your mother start a worry epidemic around here.

You know how she frets over me?

You go have a good time.

When you're in town, check on the carburator.

Will do.

[sighs]

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

[telephone ringing]

Hello.

Ms. Kent..

...this is Dr. Williams

calling from the emergency room of Smallville County Hospital.

I'm afraid you're son's been in an accident.

An accident?

He is askin' for his father.

What kind of an accident?

Automobile.

Oh, that tractor of mine.

First it was the jeep and now it's the tractor.

Must be something in the air.

That was a call for the emergency room

of the Smallville hospital.

There's been a car accident.

Oh, Ma, there's nothing to worry about.

We know that nothing can happen to Clark.

He said that Clark was asking for you.

Lana or TJ must be hurt.

You stay by the phone. I'll go to the hospital.

[siren blaring]

(male #1) Jonathan.

[dramatic music]

Jonathan over here.

[music continues]

It's been a long time, Jonathan.

[music continues]

[siren blaring]

[tires screeching]

[blaring continues]

[car honking]

[sighs]

Thank heavens you're alright.

- Of course we're alright. - I was worried sick about you.

Why would you be worried sick, ma?

Someone called and said there was an accident.

There wasn't any accident.

There were three guys at town but that was this morning

and that was no accident, that was deliberate, huh.

Now, that is the second odd call.

He said, he was a Dr. Williams

and that you were askin' for Pa.

- Where is pa now? - He went to the hospital.

Will you guys stay with her I'm gonna run to the hospital.

Why don't you take Tj? I'll take care of your mom.

I'm okay. I'll be right back.

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

You left me to die, Jonathan.

Pay off is long overdue.

You know they tortured me?

They cut me. They burned me.

Week after week, months after months.

The only thing that kept me alive was thinkin' about you.

[theme music]

No, Superboy, there's no Dr. Williams on the roster.

But, he did call from here though.

It wasn't me, and I have been on the desk all afternoon.

Superboy?

You're breaking into a conversation, Ted.

- It's okay, nice to meet you. - Yeah.

Okay, what is it Ted?

Uh, I think someone stole my ambulance.

May be you just misplaced it.

Try lookin' in the lost and found.

Very funny, no chance I misplaced it.

I went inside to do my paperwork..

...and when I came out..

...it was gone.

Well, don't drag your feet. Report it to transportation.

Who would be dumb enough to steal an ambulance, anyway.

[dramatic music]

Tom, what the hell is the matter with you?

Now, you better listen to me--

No! Shut up. You listen to me.

You recognize me, ha?

Even with this-this thing covering the scars on my face.

Of course, I recognize you.

Why did you do it, Jonathan? Why did you leave me out there?

I didn't abandon you.

We searched all over for you. You disappeared.

We lost town men. We were ordered back to the base.

We still couldn't find you.

Not good enough, Jonathan. Not after all I have been through.

What are you going to do?

They didn't tell me so I am not gonna tell you.

[intense music]

Yes, Jonathan. Look at that.

What's that?

That's what the North Koreans made me wear as prisoner of war.

I've been saving it so I can throw it in your face.

I've got something appropriate for you, too.

- Looks familiar Jonathan? - Don't be crazy, Tom.

- It wasn't my fault. - Yes, it was your fault.

Now, put that on.

No!

[bullets ricocheting]

Put in on.

[theme music]

For god sakes, Tom. Don't do this.

I've waited too long for this moment, I can't stop now.

You get that uniform dirty captain, crawl!

Go on, crawl!

Crawl, Jonathan, crawl. Crawl for your life.

Go on crawl, Jonathan. Get down on that dirt.

[bullets ricocheting]

Gettin' tired, Jonathan?

So was I.

[explosion]

[theme music]

[bullets ricocheting]

(Tom) Your luck's holding out, Jonathan.

But, for how long, huh?

[bullets ricocheting]

Hey, Jonathan, now I've got ya.

(Jonathan) Go ahead, Tom.

Go ahead, kill me.

That's what I said, Jonathan. But, they wouldn't do it.

I begged them to do it.

No, they kept shooting poison arrows at me

just missing me, trying to drive me crazy.

(Tom) They all missed, except one.

One, hit me in the face.

And that's why I want your face now, Jonathan

To scar it like mine, to do to you, what you did to me.

[theme music]

[music continues]

- You okay? - Now I am.

Wait. Wait, wait.

[eerie music]

[explosions]

I don't wanna kill you. Just him.

Once the killing starts, it gets out of control.

Let me handle this.

Tom, it's me your friend, Captain Gin.

[dramatic music]

The North Koreans, they are the enemies, not me.

Captain Gin, get down.

They're all around us. We gonna tackle in circle.

Here they come.

They are comin after us.. Oh, hell.

- That's okay, that's okay. - No..

You can stop shooting. You can stop shooting.

The war is over. It's been over a long time.

It's over?

Yeah, it's over.

Did we win?

War makes losers of all of us.

[dramatic music]

Specially me. Jonathan..

...Jonathan, look what they did to me, look.

Look, look!

[dramatic music continues]

There's no scar.

Of course, there is. Can't you see it?

It's an inner scar.

We can't see it, but it's there. A lot deeper.

The pain won't go away.

Tom, it's gonna work out.

Yeah, I promise you it's all gonna work out.

Come on, now. Come on.

[reminiscing Korean war screams]

I am sorry, Jonathan.

I am sorry.

I wont be able to spend the rest of the day with you.

- It's no problem. - I wanna thank you.

For showin' up when you did yesterday.

It's the least I can do, Pa.

Martha, I'll see you tomorrow at noon.

Oh.

- You be careful - Oh, yes, I will.

[engine starts]

I've always prided myself on being a compassionate person

but, I don't see why your father has to drive him back

to the sanitarium.

That man has lived a nightmare all these years.

Living in the terrors of the prison camp.

I guess pa feels they were there for each other in Korea.

He wants to be there for him now.

I know but, I just can't get it out of my mind

that he almost killed your father.

Ah, I know you're right.

Oh, I just need some time.

[glass shatters]

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my..

Clark, I think your mother will be very lucky

to invite us over again.

None the less, we'll bring our dishes.

[chuckles]
