Old archives of the DAILY PLANET.Nigh.Dark.Only one lamp on the table in the corner of the room is illuminating the whole room .Chloe is sitting at the computer and on the table are lying stacks of papers and folders with photos.She looks engrossed in searching through archived newspaper.She looks upset.
Chloe: Why couldnīt I hold my tongue.Would I said nothing, I could now be asleep in my bed. (Reaches for a cup of coffee) Hell. (Throws all of the papers from the table and they fly around the room) Lovely Chloe, now you can start from the beginning.Stupid city, stupid newspaper. Damn it!!!!
Night watchman: Is something wrong, Miss? I heard some voices.
Chloe: Nothing (peeved retorts and collects papers on the floor)
Night watchman: Do you intend to do this every day from now on?
Chloe: (Ironically) What do you mean? Crawl across the floor or to spend my youth in this stuffy closet?
Night watchman: Well, I will better leave you here alone.If you need my help, if I could do something for you, call me. (Walks away)
Chloe: (quietly) Yeah, you could shoot me or that arrogant idiot Wilks.

Clark: Mom, I did some serious thinking about it and I see no reason why I shouldnīt take the job in the local newspaper.I know it here and I know what I can dare to do with my abilities.And I'll be able to continue to help you with the farm.
Jonathan: If you want to stay just because you thin you have to help us, so you should know that this is not what we want.We can handle it.

Martha: Oh, of course we want you here. Itīs just that ... (Clark interrupts her and hugs her)

Smallville magazine office. It is late at night. Clark is sitting at his desk and looking at a photo of him and Lana in Talon on his computer.Hears some sounds in the office of the editor in chief..Before he opens the door, he looks through the wall.He can see that someone is sitting there. He knocks and opens the door.
Clark: Mr. Mitchel? Is that you?
Mitchel: Clark?
Clark: What are you doing here so late? (Astonished) Canīt you sleep?
Mitchel: (ironically) I do not even know what a good sleep is.
Clark: Whatīs wrong?
Mitchel: Why the hell canīt you be at least a bastard.Then all this would be much easier. (Drinks from a full glass)
Clark: What are you talking about? (wonders)
Mitchel: What would you say to a little walk? (Looks at Clark)
Clark looks out from the window.Itīs raining out there.Mitchel notices it.
Mitchel: It does not matter, at least it will wake me up a little.That is if you do not mind?
Lexīs house. Itīs raining outside. Lex and Chloe are lying on a large bed, Chloe has her head on his shoulder.They are awake.Lex is looking out of the window and is stroking Chloe's hair.
Chloe: What are you thinking about?
Lex: (sarcastically) The fact that I just gave Clark the reason to complete his work on my face. (He's silent for a moment) I think this time is certainly better weather in Florida.What would you say to taking a vacation starting tomorrow, and come with me?
Chloe: (sits up and looks at Lex.) First of all this does not concern Clark.I am not Lana.
Lex: (interrupts her, smiles)That I can see.
Chloe: Yes, so I can see it.And it is the only view that you should be interested in. (Lex smiles) And secondly, does not the day after tomorrow happen to be the day the General Assembly Luthorcorp is hold?
Lex: As always fully informed. (Laughs) Chloe, now I do not want to talk to you about ...
Chloe: (interrupts him) I know the situation in Luthorcorp and I want to help you send your father once and for all to hell.
Lex: Chloe, you can not help. And I do not want you to once again get caught in this game because it is a very dangerous game from which you can not easily withdraw. This is an already solved thing. As my father would say: Each battle has itīs winners and losers.Well and this time I am on the side which wonīt gain laurels.
Chloe: (reaches for Lexīs purple shirt, which lies on the ground and puts it on) I want to show you something. (Looks at Lex)
Smallville.Itīs raining. Clark with Mitchell are walking and chatting.
Clark: I'm sorry that your wife is so sick.
Mitchel: I did not say it to get your sympathy. I just want you to understand the reasons for my actions.
Clark: What actions? (Blank)
Mitchel: Clark, what I wanted to say is that some time ago I... (his phone rings) Excuse me a moment. (Picks up phone) Dr. Mathews, what happened? ... When?'ll be right there .... (Hangs up and turns to Clark) Clark, I have to go to the hospital. My wifeīs condition got worse. But tomorrow we are going finish this conversation. (leaves a confused Clark on the street and hurries away)
Lexīs house.Night.Chloe is sitting on the bed beside Lex.
Lex: I still do not understand how this is related ... (Chloe looks at him annoyed) Okay. (Smiles) So you found the box. What about it?
Chloe: The first letter was addressed from my grandfather to me.He writes that his mother, I mean my great-grandmother gave him the box shortly before her death, and said all about the contents of it .In my grandfather's request she wrote about all of it a letter and then she asked him to put the letter into the old box. After her death my grandfather arranged the old safe box to be put in the new one and as he writes in the letter, he was going to tell me all after my graduation, but was told that he had Alzheimer's disease, so he better wrote this letter for me.
Inside the box I found my great-grandmotherīs letter and something else. (pulls out an old silver pen case and a beautiful pearl necklace.Hands it to Lex.)
Lex: I do not understand it. From whom did she ..?
Chloe: She got it from your grandfather, Leonard Luthor. (Lex looks at her surprised ) I will read you the letter. (Takes the letter and begins to read)
Chloe: (reads) It's been so many years, it seems as though everything happened to someone else. And in a way I was actually quite a different person. I do not know how it all happened so quickly, but suddenly I was almost an accomplice of one of the most powerful men's in Metropolis.As the secretary of Leonard Luthorīs brother, I learned information that showed that Leonardīs brother planned the involuntary departure from the business world of Leonard as well as his murder. Because of the fact that my boss had often socialized with the police, and I did not know who to trust, I went with the information straight to Leonard.The result of it was my cooperation on so called peacefull revolution in Luthorcorporation, as I called it in my articles from that period that I wrote as Nat Casterlan. Newspaper was already then one of the most powerful means to fight, so through Leonardo's business tactics and my articles in which I began to show his brother Leonard cronies in the right light, we managed to get Leonard to lead Luthorcorporation.His brother seemed to be then put away to South America, where in the fifties he died.
Lex: (interrupts her) I have never found out what had happened then.Noone from the family did want to talk about it.
Chloe: The best is yet to come. (Reads more) And even though I later realized that some of the steps we have taken, might have been wrong and that because of it my life became complicated, I never did regret it. Thanks Leonard, I became a reporter of the Daily Planet, I lived my dream.He was the first man who took me seriously, though he did not have to.After that I left Metropolis, changed my name and I put to the safe box everything what meant any connection to him, that is the gifts that I got from Leonardo as an expression of friendship.We have we never seen each other again.Few years I had married and began living a new life. A year after I got married when I was very surprised by a letter from which I learned that shares Luthorcorp have been subscribed to my new name. I never did tell my husband. I paid my son's education from the dividend, but that was after my husband died. I never have sold them, I couldnīt.Maybe out of fear of disclosure, maybe from nostalgia.
Lex: Chloe, do you want to tell me that ... (Chloe interrupts him)
Chloe: I want to tell you that my grandfather rewrote those shares in my name, my portfolio is managed by a law firm in Metropolis.
Lex: Freedman and Wells? (In disbelief)
Chloe: Exactly. (Looks at him)
Lex: You want me to tell you that you own 5% of Luthorcorp?
Chloe: I myself can not believe it. (Lex looks at her in amazement) So, do you still want to go to Florida? Because I am going to throw your father a surprise party and I would love it if you could help me with preparations. (Conspiratorially smiles)
