Ce script VO a été migré dans le guide de l'épisode.
Clark and Lois walk up a grassy hill overlooking a field of cornstalks. Day. The sky is filled with light gray clouds.
Clark : I know you find it hard to believe, but trust me. Chloe's not buried in that grave.
Lois : How do you know that? Look, I want her back more than anyone, but don't you think your hunch is a rung on the whole grief ladder?
Clark : None of this would've happened if I had been there.
Lois : Okay, Commando, I don't get you. Half the time, you're all meek "Yes, Ma" and "Yes, Pa", and the other half, you are the most overconfident guy I've ever met.
Clark : It doesn't happen to you much, does it? Not being able to peg someone right away?
Lois : Oh, get over yourself. You are not that complicated.
Clark and Lois get to the top of the hill and find an area surrounded by yellow police tape. In the center of the site is a large pile of burnt rubble including a burnt car. There are a few wooden beams still standing haphazardly.
Lois : [Quiet, shocked.] This is Chloe's safe house?
Clark : You mean what's left of it.
They stop walking and stare at the mess in awe.
Lois : Oh, my God, Chloe. What did they do to you?
Clark lifts up the police tape to enter the site, and Lois follows. They walk slowly through the rubble of the house.
Lois : What exactly do you expect to find here?
Clark : I don't know, but the FBI sealed the case, even the autopsy reports. Doesn't that sound a little odd?
Lois looks around at the wreckage becoming more and more uneasy.
Lois : Remind me if I'm ever a witness not to put my life in the hands of the FBI.
Clark : Well, maybe she got out before the explosion.
Lois : They said she walked inside, Clark. I don't know how anyone could survive this. Look, you may be in denial thinking Chloe's alive, but I'm gonna find out who did this to her.
Thunder rumbles softly in the distance.
Lois : Let's get out of here, Clark. This place gives me the creeps.
Clark and Lois hear another rumbling that isn't thunder. Suddenly, a black helicopter flies into view from behind a nearby cluster of trees, so close that its propeller sends a sharp wind at Clark and Lois. Surprised, they both look up at it. The helicopter comes to a stop in the air and two men dressed in black combat suits jump out of either side of the helicopter and lower themselves to the ground, suspended by cables. They both wear helmets and have large guns strapped to their backs.
Clark : [To Lois.] Run!
Lois dashes out of the safe house and toward the hill that she and Clark just ascended. The two men land on the ground and disconnect their wires, and the helicopter flies after Lois.
One of the men jumps into the safe house holding his gun pointed at Clark. Clark knocks the gun out of the man's hand with his forearm and throws the man across the site. The man flies high into the air and lands on top of the burnt car, unconscious.
Lois continues to run down the grassy hill, but the helicopter is gaining on her. There is another man in black hanging out of the door of the helicopter. They fly so low that Lois finally has to duck and roll to avoid being hit. She comes out of her somersault and gets to her feet as the helicopter keeps flying beyond her toward the cornfield where it starts to turn around.
Seeing everything that is going on, Clark runs toward Lois on the hill but is stopped by the other man in black. He attempts to fire his gun at Clark, which fires bolts of electricity rather than bullets, but Clark catches the gun and pushes the man backwards where he crashes into a standing woodwork frame.
Lois has made it to the cornfield and is running down one of the narrow aisles. The helicopter follows her. She comes to a stop and watches as the helicopter keeps flying, then changes direction, running sideways through the field and pushing her way through narrow gaps between cornstalks.
She gets to a dirt road to the side of the cornfield only to find that the helicopter is already there waiting for her only several feet above the ground. The man holding onto the door jumps to the ground and rushes toward Lois. Clark super speeds to the edge of the hill to see what is happening. He watches the man in black accosting Lois. The man tries to hit Lois in the face, but she blocks his arm and chops the man in the face instead. Clark sends several bolts of heat vision at the helicopter causing it to lose its stability. Lois continues to fight with the man, eventually throwing him to the ground with the skill and agility of a trained professional.
The man gets back to his feet as the helicopter sinks to the ground, skidding along the dirt road. Lois kicks the man on the top of his helmet and he falls onto his back unconscious. Clark super speeds onto the dirt road behind Lois.
Clark : Lois!
Lois turns around, smiling slightly.
Lois : Well, don't just stand there. Come on.
Lois runs toward Clark and grabs his arm, forcing him to run with her away from the helicopter.
From the helicopter steps a general, SAM, dressed in fatigues and sunglasses with an unlit cigar hanging from his mouth. He rips off his sunglasses angrily as he watches Lois and Clark running away. Another man in black runs up to Sam. They have to shout to be heard over the propeller.
Man : We lost them, sir!
Sam : [Taking the cigar out of his mouth.] Find them!
Man : Yes, sir!
Sam puts the cigar back in his mouth as the man in black runs away.
[Opening credits]
Act 1 Scene 1
The Kent bathroom. Day. We see Clark's silhouette through the shower curtain as he washes himself. Lois enters the room. She is wearing one of Clark's flannel shirts and has slightly damp hair. A towel hangs over her shoulder, and she stands in front of the mirror as she continues to dry her hair.
Lois : Nothing like a little North by Northwest action to get the blood pumping, huh?
Clark jumps at the sound of Lois's voice, shocked that she is in the room while he is showering. He pulls the shower curtain open just enough to peek out and sees Lois wearing nothing but a shirt. He closes the curtain.
Clark : [Embarrassed.] Um... we usually take turns in the bathroom.
Lois : Oh, don't start with me, Smallville. You're the one taking the marathon shower. [Pulling a brush through her hair.] Besides, my delicate feminine sensibilities weren't offended the first time I got a glimpse of, uh, Clark Junior.
Clark : My parents kind of missed the whole Woodstock phase. [Clark turns off the water.] Besides, they freaked out the last time they caught me in a co-ed situation.
Clark peeks out from the behind the curtain again to make sure that Lois isn't watching him. Then he reaches out and yanks a towel off the rack.
Lois : [Intrigued.] Last time? So the eagle scout does have a few secrets in the closet.
Clark drapes the towel around his waist and comes out of the shower.
Clark : Just forget it, all right? [Noticing the flannel shirt.] That's my shirt.
Lois : It's the only thing I could find that was clean.
Irritated, Clark starts to step past Lois to the door and she stands in his way.
Lois : Hey, let's keep this morning's game of chopper tag a secret, okay?
Clark : Right. [Sarcastic.] Because I'm the one who can't keep my mouth shut.
Clark opens the door to leave the room and finds Martha standing in the hallway with an arm full of clean towels. Martha doesn't see Lois who is now behind the door.
Clark : Mom.
Clark jerks the door closed to his shoulder, making sure Lois is out of sight.
Martha : [Brightly.] Hi.
Clark : You're home.
Martha nods, smiling. Lois steps behind Clark and stands on her tiptoes to see Martha over Clark's shoulder.
Lois : [With a big smile.] Hi, Mrs. Kent.
Martha's jaw drops as she looks from Lois to Clark. Lois continues to smile as Clark stares at Martha awkwardly. He is at a complete loss for words.
Act 1 Scene 2
A shot of the base of the Eiffel Tower. Day. Inside her apartment, Lana is looking through some pictures on her laptop computer. She is wearing a shirt that ties in the back, revealing much of her bare skin including the symbol tattooed onto her lower back. There are several pictures taken in Smallville on her computer screen. She clicks on a picture of Clark and it zooms forward, filling the screen.
In the picture, Clark is standing in front of a stone wall in the Kawatche caves. Upon closer inspection, Lana sees a symbol painted onto the wall behind Clark. It is the same symbol that is now on her back. She stands up and goes to a mirror, looking at her lower back with growing worry.
Act 1 Scene 3
Outside shot of the Kent farmhouse. Day. Inside, Clark and Lois stand side by side in the kitchen facing Jonathan and Martha who are also standing side by side. Clark is fully dressed. Lois is still wearing Clark's flannel shirt and a pair of jeans. Martha and Jonathan are staring at Clark and Lois disapprovingly.
Lois : I don't understand what the big deal is here. We just took a shower.
Clark : [Emphasizing the plural.] Showers. We took separate showers.
Martha : [Skeptical.] At noon?
Lois : [Prepared to lie.] We were just--
Clark : [Blurting out the truth.] We went to Chloe's safe house.
Lois shoots an annoyed look at Clark.
Clark : These guys showed up and chased us into a field, and there was all this dirt.
Jonathan : [Stepping forward, reproaching.] Clark, that is a federal crime scene. And the last thing that we want is for you two kids to get involved with the FBI.
Lois : Whoever it was, we don't need to worry 'cause their chopper is face first in the middle of the field.
Clark closes his eyes exasperatedly, now annoyed at Lois for blurting out the truth. Jonathan and Martha look at each other seriously.
Lois : Your non-verbals are killing me, and this seems like it's a family matter, so... I'm just gonna get out of the way.
Lois picks up her bag and walks toward the stairs, whispering to Clark as she passes.
Lois : Way to go.
Clark gives Lois an irritated look, wanting to argue but staying silent as she jogs up the stairs. Jonathan steps even closer to Clark.
Jonathan : [Quiet and stern.] Please tell me that you did not crash that helicopter.
Clark looks at Jonathan guiltily.
Act 1 Scene 4
Outside shot of the U.S. Penitentiary. Day. Inside, Lionel is in his cage standing in front of a full length mirror wearing a half-finished suit. A tailor is in the cage with him, taking measurements and marking the suit with a piece of chalk. Lex enters the room behind Lionel. We see both of them in the mirror.
Lex : Waste of a new suit, isn't it, Dad?
Lionel : Well, I don't think so, son. Even if Miss Sullivan were alive and testified against me, you and I both know the jury would still find me not guilty. [He turns around to face Lex.] But I am sorry, Lex.
Lex : Sorry that you killed a bright young woman just because she stood in your way?
Lionel : My apology concerns you and me. I'm sorry that you couldn't foresee the consequences of your actions when you betrayed me.
Lex : [Raising his voice slightly.] You can save the threats, Dad. I'm not as easy a target as you seem to think.
Lionel walks away from the tailor and toward Lex.
Lionel : All those tests, all those trials have made you strong. But this time it's different.
Lionel is standing so close to the cage that his face almost touches the bars. His voice is quiet and full of menace.
Lionel : You'll never know when it will happen, but it will happen. Each swallow of wine you take, every key you turn, every... friend you make. You'll never have another moment's peace.
Lex is silent. His lips twitch slightly with nervousness, but he walks closer to the cage, refusing to back down. Lionel turns away from him and goes back to the mirror, smiling pleasantly at the tailor. Lex stands their and watches him.
Act 1 Scene 5
Lex pours a goblet of red wine in his study. Day. He holds it up and looks at it as if hearing Lionel's words in his head. Someone enters the study behind him and he turns around seeing that it's Lana. He puts down his glass and Lana walks toward him with a smile.
Lex : You look great.
Lana : [With a smile.] Thank you.
They hug.
Lex : Hey.
Lana : Hey.
Lex : So from your message, I didn't quite get if this is a stopover or if you're back for good.
Lana : For a while. I guess Paris just wasn't for me.
Lex : Yeah. [He walks toward the sofa. His tone is teasing.] Museums, late night jazz clubs, walks along the Seine. I see how that can all get boring.
Lana follows Lex to the sofa where they sit next to each other.
Lana : Let's just say that I felt as though something was calling me home.
Lex : A little cryptic, but I'll take it. Well, you picked a good day for homecoming. You know, Clark just resurfaced, too. Interesting timing.
Lana : [Dismissive.] Funny, I don't remember asking about Clark. [Changing the subject.] Actually, uh, I came by because I saw the Talon was boarded up. I thought you would've sold it by now.
Lex : Yeah, well, I had a little trouble letting it go. [Lana squints at Lex inquisitively.] Why, are you in the market for a partner?
Lana : [She smiles.] No. Um... no. I want to rent the apartment.
Lex nods, smiling in return.
Act 1 Scene 6
Outside shot of the Kent farm. Day. Inside, Clark is sleeping on the couch in the living room. He lies on his stomach with no shirt on, covered by a blue blanket. His face is buried in the pillow.
Dressed in her own clothes, Lois creeps down the front stairs and glances in the living room at Clark. He stirs slightly but doesn't wake up. Lois then exits through the front door closing it gently behind her. Clark stirs a second time and again stays asleep.
Cut to Chloe's tombstone. We hear Lois breathing heavily and we see that she is digging up the grave. She is already waist deep in the earth. She stops digging and looks around, revealing that her face is sweaty and covered with dirt. Then she turns back to the tombstone and plants the shovel in the dirt next to her with determination.
Lois : I hope that Clark is right. Otherwise, this is gonna get really ugly, Chlo.
Lois toss the shovel to the side of the grave, then takes a deep breath, motivating herself.
Lois : Okay.
She kneels down in the grave and brushes the remaining dirt off of the top half of Chloe's coffin. Once the lid of the coffin is in view, she hesitates. Then she closes her eyes and pulls the coffin open slowly. When it is open, Lois slowly opens her eyes and is visibly startled.
The coffin is empty.
Lois : [Smiling.] He was right.
Lois closes the coffin and stands up. A young man, TRENT, stands next to a tree several meters behind Lois.
Trent : Where's Chloe Sullivan?
Lois : [Turning around.] Who the hell are you?
Trent : [Threatening.] You'd better tell me where she is.
Trent walks toward Lois. His head is shaved almost down to the skin. He wears a black shirt and black pants and a brown trench coat. Lois jumps out of the grave and reaches into her bag, pulling out a can of pepper spray. She hides it behind her back as she walks toward Trent.
Lois : What? The posse couldn't get to me the first time, so the boss sent you? You can both kiss my ass.
Lois and Trent are now standing face to face. Trent holds his right hand behind his back and it turns silver, morphing into a large metal blade. Then he brings his arm forward, swinging the blade at Lois. She tries to spray Trent in the eyes, but he knocks her to the ground, causing her to lose her grip on the pepper spray which lands next to her shovel.
Trent swings at Lois again and she backs away. Trent's blade connects with a nearby tombstone, breaking off a large chunk.
Somebody picks up the shovel and pepper spray, though we can't see who it is.
Trent leans over Lois and pulls his arm back, preparing to run her through with the blade, when he is suddenly bashed on the back of the head by the shovel. He turns around and sees Lana who shoots the pepper spray into his eyes.
Trent : Aah!
Trent grabs his eyes and falls to the ground. Lana drops the shovel and goes to Lois, helping her to her feet.
Lana : Are you okay?
They both look toward where Trent was lying. He is gone.
Lois : Where the hell did he go? Medieval psychopath.
Lana : [Seeing Chloe's grave.] I guess you'd have to be in order to dig up a grave in the middle of the day.
Lois : Actually, that was me. [Lana looks at Lois strangely.] It's my cousin's grave. [Offers her hand.] Lois Lane.
Lana shakes her hand.
Lana : Lana Lang.
Act 1 Scene 7
Clark is in front of the farmhouse working on the tractor. Day. Lana's car drives up the road and stops outside the Kent yard. Clark puts down his wrench and walks toward the car, smiling cautiously as Lana steps out of the car. She looks less than thrilled to be there.
Clark : Lana. You're back.
Lana : [Awkwardly.] Hi. Hi, Clark.
Clark is surprised as Lois steps out of the passenger seat.
Clark : Lois. How did you two--
Lana : We just met. I, uh, stopped by the cemetery to pay my respects to Chloe.
Lois : [To Lana.] I think you're forgetting about the part where you saved my life. [To Clark.] Some Ginsu boy came after us at Chloe's grave.
Lana : Look, Clark, if you really think that Chloe's alive, I want to help find her.
Clark : Uh, Lana... Look, I don't want to get your hopes up, but we don't know anything for sure.
Lana : Okay.
Clark : You're back from Paris. You must've found what you were looking for.
Lois : [Cutting in.] I'll say! Who wouldn't want a hot summer fling in the most romantic city on Earth?
Lana glances at Lois then at Clark, embarrassed. Clark looks at Lana questioningly.
Lana : [To Clark.] I was going to tell you.
Clark : [Hurt.] It's okay.
Lois looks at them both, catching on.
Lois : Really? You two?
Clark : We never...
Lana : Not really.
Clark : ...had a thing.
Lana : It's complicated.
Lois : [She has heard enough.] A complicated thing. Never mind.
Lana and Clark share another long look.
Lana : Well, um, I'm gonna go.
Lana laughs uncomfortably and walks back to her car.
Lois : The awkward tension's just getting started.
Clark doesn't respond. Lois looks back at Lana.
Lois : I really crashed and burned on that one.
Clark : Must be a daily ritual for you.
Lois : Only when I'm barreling into a train wreck.
Lois glances back at Lana as she drives away, then walks toward the house. Clark stays where he is.
Act 1 Scene 8
Outside shot of Clark's loft. Night. The moon is a sliver in the starry sky. Inside, Lois follows Clark up the stairs to the upper level.
Lois : Listen, I really think we're onto something here. I did my research, and it turns out LuthorCorp paid for Chloe's funeral. Why would they do that? It doesn't make any sense.
Clark doesn't respond. They continue to climb the stairs.
Lois : I guess the real question to ask would be, why would somebody bury an empty casket for nothing? Right, Clark?
They get to the top of the stairs, and Clark remains silent, lost in his own thoughts.
Lois : Clark?
Clark turns to Lois, looking at her blankly.
Lois : Wow, she didn't take any prisoners, did she? [Clark doesn't understand.] Lana? Cute, smart, gutsy... and way too much for you to handle. I can see why you're in love with her.
Clark : Look, you're really not the person I want to talk to about this.
Lois : Suit yourself.
Lois goes to the couch and sits down, pulling her laptop out of her bag and opening it. Clark keeps his back to Lois, eventually realizing that he does in fact want to talk about it.
Clark : It's just... I knew she'd be dating other people.
Lois : But?
Clark : [Turning to look at Lois.] I just don't understand how you could feel like you know someone so completely, like you know everything about them, and then just all of a sudden...
Lois : You don't even know what continent they're on.
Clark : [Frustrated.] Do you always have to finish people's thoughts?
Lois : Well, am I right?
Clark lowers his eyes, revealing that Lois is right. Before they can say anymore, a whirring of a helicopter is heard outside the loft. A blinding searchlight shines in through the window and the wind from the propeller sends debris flying into the loft. Clark runs to the window to see what is going on.
Lois : [Grabbing Clark's arm.] Come on! We gotta go!
They run to the stairs, but just as they get there, Sam the general is walking up the stairs toward them. He stares at Clark coldly. Then he turns his eyes to Lois.
Lois : [Unafraid.] Hi, Daddy.
Clark jerks his head to Lois, surprised. Lois smiles at him.
Fade to black.
Act 2 Scene 1
Sam and Lois walk out of the loft. Night. Sam is still holding his unlit cigar.
Sam : I thought we had an understanding. You were to stay away from that crime scene.
Lois : And you were supposed to be at the Pentagon.
Sam : Ha. They sent me out to Fort Ryan to oversee some maneuvers.
Lois : To keep an eye on me. Is that it, Boss?
Sam : [He stops walking.] Drop it, Lo.
Lois : Why? I'm obviously onto something here. You wouldn't be calling out the birds if I was late for dinner.
Lois walks toward the house, and Sam follows her.
Cut to Martha setting the dining room table for dinner as Jonathan takes a tray out of the oven. Clark stands next to Martha.
Clark : [Disbelievingly.] You didn't seriously invite him to dinner.
Jonathan : Clark, Mr. Lane is a three-star general. I think he deserves a little respect.
Clark : [Trying to fight it.] Mom. Mom...
Sam and Lois enter the kitchen.
Sam : [Friendly.] This is some place you got here Mr. and Mrs. Kent. And again I'd like to thank you for keeping an eye on my little Lo.
Martha smiles. Sam addresses Jonathan, holding up a cigar.
Sam : Can I offer you a Chavelo? Hand rolled with some of the finest tobacco in the U.S. of A.
Jonathan reaches out to take the cigar, then stops himself.
Jonathan : No, I, uh... My heart isn't exactly what it used to be.
Sam : [To Martha.] I'm gonna have to take a rain check on your hospitality, Mrs. Kent.
Martha : You're welcome any time. [She shakes Sam's hand.]
Sam : Thank you. [To Lois.] Let's double-time it, Lo.
Lois walks to Clark and gives him a hug goodbye. He seems confused by the warm gesture. She whispers into his ear.
Lois : This is about Chloe. Clark, find the connection to LuthorCorp.
Lois steps away from Clark and smiles at him inconspicuously. She exits.
Sam : Good night now.
Jonathan : Good night.
Sam leaves. Jonathan looks at Clark who is still startled by Lois's words.
Act 2 Scene 2
Lex is in his study with a man, Agent Stocker. Day. There is a screen set up on which they are watching a projection of a computer simulation of the door being pulled off of Lex's private jet in midair.
Stocker : I was assigned to the accident in Jakarta and the shuttle disaster.
Lex : Impressive.
Lex walks toward the screen and gestures to the door of the plane.
Lex : Then maybe you could help explain to me how a door rips off a jet at 20,000 feet.
Stocker : We found no traces of explosive residue. Now, all evidence suggests that the door was extricated from outside the aircraft... by manual force.
Lex : [Doubtful.] I'm sorry, are you trying to tell me someone did this from outside my plane?
They hear the door open and Clark steps into the room. Lex is surprised to see him.
Lex : Agent Stocker, will you excuse us?
Using the remote control in his hand, Lex turns off the projection of the airplane as Agent Stocker leaves the room. Clark remains near the door, staring at Lex.
Lex : Does this mean you're talking to me again?
Clark : [Cold.] Only because I don't have a choice.
Lex : Relegated from friend to last resort. [Sad.] I guess I'll have to accept it if it's my only chance to prove myself.
Clark : Good. 'Cause I want you to help me find Chloe.
Lex : Look, I'd like to set things straight between us, Clark, but don't you think raising someone from the grave is setting the bar a little high?
Clark : Lex, Chloe's not in her grave.
Lex looks away. Clark walks toward him slowly.
Clark : She was the linchpin in your father's trial. You would've had investigators crawling all over that area. What'd they find?
Lex : I pulled some strings and asked the FBI not to release all the morbid details. The fact is, that explosion took out an entire acre, and the reason Chloe's casket is empty is... It's because there wasn't anything left.
Clark lowers his eyes, shocked. His gaze wanders toward Lex's desk. He sees the butt of a Chavelo cigar stubbed out in an ash tray. Clark looks back to Lex, a new idea forming in his mind. Lex doesn't appear to notice the change.
Lex : I'm sorry, Clark.
Without responding, Clark turns around and leaves.
Act 2 Scene 3
From above, we see Lionel in the prison showers standing under the steaming flow of water. Day. The shot comes down as Lionel scrubs himself and lets the water fall down over his face, clearly enjoying himself. He glances to the side of the room where a guard is standing by, waiting for him.
Lionel grabs a bar of soap and begins to rub it through his hair and over his body. He looks again in the direction of the guard, but the guard is now gone. Lionel looks around, confused, but sees no one.
Then another prisoner comes up behind Lionel and grabs him around the neck with one arm. The man is younger than Lionel. He has a shaved head and a very muscular body with several tattoos on his arms. He wears a white towel around his waist. Lionel's mouth flies open in surprise when the man grabs him.
The man says something inaudible into Lionel's ear, then with his left hand, holds a knife to Lionel's ribs and stabs him. Lionel flinches, then stumbles to the ground slowly as the man takes his knife and runs away. Lionel's mouth is still a perfect O, and he touches the side of his torso gently, feeling the blood dripping from his wound. He remains on the ground, gasping.
Act 2 Scene 4
Outside shot of a military base. Day. Inside, we see the top of a desk in an office. Sitting on the desk is a box of Chavelo cigars. Next to the box is a file folder. Somebody opens the folder and looks through the papers inside, but we can't see who. The name plate on the desk says "Gen. Sam Lane". Next to the name plate is a picture of Sam, his wife, and Lois as a little girl.
We see that the person in Sam's office is Lois. She opens a file cabinet and continues to snoop. When she doesn't find anything of use there, she goes to a bookshelf and pulls out a large log book, thumbing through the pages. The door to the office opens behind her, bathing her in light from the outlying hallway, and she turns around, startled.
Clark enters and closes the door behind him.
Clark : Considering your father has a yard full of tanks out there, I don't think you should be in his office rifling through his files.
Lois : That didn't seem to slow you down any. I gotta say I'm impressed, Smallville, that you could sneak on a military base undetected. What are you doing here?
Clark : I'm looking for you. I think your father's working with Lex Luthor. I saw one of his cigars in his library.
Lois : I knew it. You're right. What do you know? My dad and the king of the trust fund kids.
Lois goes back to Sam's desk and sets down the log book to keep looking through it.
Clark : They're trying to cover up something to do with Chloe, and if he finds us here--
Lois : I can handle him, Clark. Besides, if you think that chopper recital was something, you should've seen the escort I had for prom.
Clark : Wow, and I thought my father was overprotective.
Lois : [Grinning slightly.] I guess when he lost my mom, he kind of cracked, and... ever since, he's been scared of losing me too.
Clark lowers his eyes apologetically and sees the picture on Sam's desk.
Lois : [Amused by Clark's sympathy.] I can actually talk about it. She died when I was six.
Clark : [Pause.] I'm sorry.
Lois : Don't be. Unless you're the one that got her hooked on cigarettes behind the gym during high school.
Lois picks up another log book and hands it to Clark.
Lois : Make yourself useful.
She takes another book for herself and begins to flip through its pages. Clark skims through his book. There is a list of names and Clark stops at one that catches his eye.
Clark : Nellie Blye?
Lois : I know. Can you believe after 15 years, my dad is finally getting some action? I'm kind of happy for the old geezer.
Clark : She died nearly 80 years ago.
Lois : [Looking in Sam's day planner.] But it says in his calendar that he's been taking R & R with her at least once a week.
Clark : She was one of the first undercover female reporters. She was Chloe's hero.
Lois is stunned. She sits down at the desk to continue looking at the planner.
Lois : It says here that she is at... 2348 Walnut Street.
We hear a burst of air, and when Lois looks up from the planner, Clark is gone.
Lois : Clark?
Cut to Clark super speeding down the street. He gets to an old country house and finds the front door partially open. He steps inside and hears pop music playing on the radio. Right inside the door is a desk with an open laptop computer sitting on it. As Clark enters, he sees the back door at the end of the hallway, bouncing on its hinges as if someone has just left.
Clark looks around and sees a collage of pictures on the wall, very similar to Chloe's Wall of Weird in the Torch office.
Clark : [Yelling.] Chloe?
Clark walks closer to the pictures and studies them. Then he turns to the laptop on the desk. From there, he looks to the ground and sees a smear of blood, and another on the door leading into the next room. Clark rushes to the door and bursts through it, finding two dead officers in the room. One is slumped against the wall and the other is hunched over a chair. Clark rushes to the chair to check the man's pulse. Then he looks up at the door he just came through and sees Lex standing there.
They share an intense stare and Lex looks away.
Fade to black.
Act 3 Scene 1
Outside shot of the U.S. Penitentiary. Day. Inside, Lionel lies in a bed in the prison infirmary with bandaging around his midsection. He is shirtless and hooked up to a IV bag. His eyes are closed.
Trent enters the room, and Lionel's eyes open when he speaks.
Trent : You were right, Mr. Luthor. Lex's men led me right to her.
Lionel : It's done? You did what I asked?
Trent : No. I've kind of had a change of heart. I had to kill two men. The price is doubled.
Lionel : That was a very foolish decision, Trent. Yes, you have an extraordinary gift. I know that. But wasn't it your pride in that gift that first landed you in Belle Reve?
Trent : [Furious.] Don't think you understand! You don't!
Trent holds a finger to Lionel's face, and the finger morphs into a blade. Lionel pushes Trent's hand away slowly.
Lionel : Believe me, I couldn't begin to imagine what it must have been like for you.
Trent's finger goes back to normal.
Lionel : But, Trent, very few people in your life will ever accept you for the man you are. Why would you turn against the one person who would never, never judge you?
Trent is silent for a moment. Lionel's words are affecting him.
Trent : I don't care.
Lionel : But you do care. It's what you want, Trent... to be normal. Isn't it?
Trent's face scrunches with emotion.
Lionel : And I want to help. But I can't. I won't be free. Not if Chloe Sullivan testifies tomorrow.
Trent looks at Lionel seriously, understanding what Lionel is asking of him. Lionel gives Trent a fatherly smile.
Act 3 Scene 2
Clark and Lex are in the country house. Day. Clark is standing next to the collage of pictures on the wall as Lex talks angrily on his cellular phone.
Lex : How long does it take to locate her? [Pause.] Well, do it!
He hangs up his phone and turns to Clark.
Lex : Clark, I was trying to protect her.
Clark : You had a tracking bracelet on her wrist. You couldn't have thought she was that safe.
Lex : I tried to take every precaution.
Clark walks to Lex, angry.
Clark : You looked me straight in the eye and told me she was dead.
Lex : Look, sometimes you have to do the right thing no matter what the cost.
Clark : Even if that cost is Chloe's life.
Lex : Clark, if it wasn't for me, Chloe would've died in that explosion.
Over the next few lines, we see a flashback of Chloe and her father Gabe walking into the safe house just before the explosion.
Lex : I felt responsible for Chloe, so I had the investigators watching her. They found a detonating device in the safe house. My father had hired someone to make sure Chloe never made it to the witness stand.
In the safe house, two men in black combat suits and helmets jump out and grab Chloe and Gabe. They push Chloe and Gabe into a closet. A trap door in the floor of the closet has been opened revealing a staircase to the underground. Chloe and Gabe are pushed down the stairs.
Lex : The only think I could do was beat him to it. The house was built on tunnels left from the underground railroad. Seconds after Chloe and her dad entered, we rushed them underneath the house. The explosion was rigged to cave in the tunnel behind them.
Chloe and Gabe cling to each other fearfully as they walk through the narrow and dimly-lit tunnel. The safe house explodes.
Back to the present.
Lex : The cops never found it.
Clark : And Sam Lane?
Lex : I didn't trust the FBI. I needed someone who could engineer the rescue.
Lex gets a message on his PDA. He looks at it.
Lex : She's at the old foundry. Don't worry, Clark, I'll have people over there in minutes.
Lex dials a number on his cell phone and holds it to his ear. Again, we hear a rush of air as Clark leaves the room at super speed.
Lex : [On the phone.] Give me General Lane.
He turns to the front door and sees it partially open. Clark is nowhere to be seen.
Cut to an outside shot of the foundry. It is a mass of pipes rising high into the air and emitting white steam and smoke.
Inside, in what seems to be an enormous boiler room, a hook hangs from a long cable. We see the hands of somebody hanging from the hook, tied to it with rope around the wrists. The shot lowers, and we see that it is Chloe. She is bleeding from the side of her head and her mouth is covered with electrical tape. She struggles to get free.
Clark super speeds toward the foundry.
Chloe kicks her legs in the air, knocking her feet against a nearby steel beam. She swings back and then forward again and this time, wraps her legs around the beam. Beneath her feet is a button and she kicks the button with her foot. The cable she is suspended from begins to lower slowly until Chloe is finally standing on the ground. She takes her arms down from the hook and rips the tape off of her mouth.
She then starts to make her way through the boiler room, turning around constantly to see if anyone is following her. There is steam rising and sparks flying in several places. She runs through a wall of steam and continues to look around. Suddenly she runs into Trent who wraps one hand around her throat. He grimaces viciously.
Chloe gasps for air as Trent's hand turns into a metal vice. She holds onto the vice, trying to pull it away, but it won't move. Then Trent sees a reflection of Clark standing behind him in the metal. He turns around startled, and Clark grabs him, tossing him into the air. He crashes against two pipes held in place by opposing walls, and knocks both of the pipes to the ground as he falls. Clark strides toward Trent furiously as Trent is standing up. He turns to Clark and morphs his arm into a large blade, swinging it at Clark.
Clark blocks the swing with his own arm and sparks fly from the collision. Trent spins around for his next swing, which Clark blocks with both arms. Trent swings one more time, and Clark crosses his arms to block the impact, then pushes Trent backwards. Clark tries to punch Trent in to the chest, but Trent's whole body becomes a mass of liquid metal and Clark falls right through him, landing behind him on the ground right in front of a vat of red hot liquid metal.
Clark turns over onto his back and sees Trent standing over him, preparing to swing. Suddenly, Trent's body is covered with an electrical current. He turns around to see Lois standing behind him, shooting him with an electric ray gun. Clark shoots his heat vision at Trent's body until Trent finally explodes into thousands of tiny drops of liquid metal that plop into the steaming vat.
Lois : What the hell was that?
Clark stands up, not responding.
Lois : Chloe always told me this town was weird. I don't know how you ever survived without me.
She grins at Clark who turns away and runs back to Chloe.
Clark : [To Lois.] How'd you get here, anyway?
Lois : [Following him.] What do you mean how did I get here? How did you get here?
Clark : [Calling out.] Chloe?
He finds Chloe unconscious on the ground and kneels down next to her, untying her hands.
Clark : Chloe, are you okay? Chloe?
Chloe's eyes open, and she laughs with happiness and relief when she sees Clark. She sits up and they hug each other tightly.
Clark : Chloe. I was afraid I'd lost you.
Chloe is too overcome with emotion to respond. Clark helps her to her feet as she gasps through tears of joy. She laughs again and touches Clark's shoulders and face as if to make sure he's really there. Then she sees Lois standing behind Clark.
Chloe : [Surprised.] Lois? Lois, what are you doing here? Lois!
They hug.
Lois : Putting the worst two months of my life behind me.
They pull out of the hug to look at each other, and Chloe laughs happily.
Lois : I am so glad I found you.
Clark : "I"?
Clark and Lois share a slightly annoyed glance.
Chloe : If you guys don't mind, I'd really like to get out of here.
Clark : Yeah.
Lois : Yeah.
Clark and Lois stand on either side of Chloe, each putting an arm around her, and they all walk out of the foundry.
Clark : Let's get you out of here, Chloe.
Lois : Before Lionel throws anymore creeps at you.
Chloe: Yeah. Because tomorrow morning in court, I'm gonna kick Lionel Luthor's butt.
Fade to black.
Act 4 Scene 1
Outside shot of the Kent farmhouse. Night. Inside, Jonathan sits at the dining room table looking at the latest issue of The Daily Planet. A headline in huge bold letters says "GUILTY!" There is a picture of Lionel Luthor in handcuffs, and below the picture in smaller print are the words: "Jury Returns Verdict in High Profile Case." Martha stands next to Jonathan, and Clark is also seated at the table eating dinner.
Jonathan : It's good to see that there are some things even Lionel Luthor can't buy his way out of.
Clark : Thanks to Chloe.
Jonathan : [Putting down the newspaper.] Clark, as much as I hate to admit this, Lex had a hand in this too. He did make good on his promise to protect Chloe.
Clark : And look what he got out of it. Control of LuthorCorp.
Jonathan stands and goes into the kitchen and Clark follows.
Clark : Look, I'm sorry, but it's gonna take a lot more than that for me to get to trust him again.
Martha follows them both to the kitchen.
Martha : Ever since he met you, he's been surrounded by things he can't explain. We can't really blame him for trying to find the truth.
Clark puts his dishes in the sink.
Clark : The truth is, he's been lying to me from day one. The legend on the cave wall says I'm destined to have an enemy. All this time, I've been worried about Lionel. But I'm beginning to think that the real threat was right in front of me. I think it's Lex.
Act 4 Scene 2
Lana is in the Kawatche caves. Night. She shines a flashlight along the walls looking at the different paintings. Clark enters behind her with his own flashlight.
Clark : Lana.
Lana turns around, not sure how to explain herself.
Clark : What are you doing down here?
Lana : Probably the same thing you are. [Clark waits for her to go on.] It's peaceful.
Clark : You're two for two. You keep showing up when I least expect to see you.
Lana : I'm not trying to surprise you, Clark.
Clark : I know. It's just when you left, I wasn't sure when I'd see you again.
Lana : It's funny, isn't it. After everything we've been through, I thought it would take us longer to get over it.
Clark : [Not understanding.] Us?
Lana : You and Lois.
Clark : Lois?
Clark realizes what Lana is implying. He tries to deny it.
Clark : She's bossy.
Lana smiles, seeing through Clark's negative words. Clark continues, trying to prove his point.
Clark : She's stuck up, she's rude. I can't stand her.
Lana smiles and nods.
Lana : The best ones always start that way.
Clark looks at Lana, not responding. Lana looks past Clark and sees the symbol she's been looking for on the wall, the one that is on her back.
Lana : Do you believe in destiny?
Lana goes to the wall and shines her flashlight on the symbol.
Clark : I don't want to.
Lana : But you can't escape it, can you? Even if you don't know what it is yet?
Lana is standing with her back to Clark. Her back is now covered so Clark can't see the tattoo.
Clark : Lana, what is it you're not telling me? Does it have something to do with this guy you met?
Lana : No, no. Um, no it doesn't. [She turns to him.] But I'm sorry that you found out the way you did. I should go.
Lana leaves. Clark looks around unhappily, and his eyes land on the painting of Naman and Sageeth.
Act 4 Scene 3
Outside shot of a prison. Night. There is a buzzing within and the door to a cell block opens. Lionel is escorted by a guard into a small antechamber surrounded by bars. He is dressed in an orange jumpsuit and holds a folded blanket in one hand and a couple of books in the other. Lex is standing behind him outside the bars.
Lionel : Well done, Lex. [He turns to Lex.] But wasn't it you who warned me don't wound what you cannot kill?
Lex merely smirks in reply. Lionel turns back to the bars in front of him that lead the way to the main cell block.
Lex : Oh, and Dad...
The main gate is opened and Lionel starts to step through. He stops and turns his head slightly, waiting for Lex to speak.
Lex : [With a small smile.] I wouldn't have missed this for the world.
Lionel doesn't look at Lex or respond. He goes through the gate which closes behind him. Along the hallway of the cell block are dozens of dangerous-looking men, also in orange jumpsuits who eye Lionel menacingly. Lex's smile grows.
Act 4 Scene 4
Outside shot of the Talon. Night. Inside the empty building, Lana is at the top of the stairs outside the apartment. She tosses an empty cardboard box over the railing where it lands next to several others. She walks back to the apartment and stops when she hears the door open downstairs. She goes to the railing and looks down with shock.
Jason Teague is looking up at her with a bouquet of flowers.
Jason : [Quietly.] Hi.
Lana is still too stunned to respond.
Jason : I'm freaking you out with the whole Cary Grant moment, aren't I?
Lana laughs breathlessly and comes down the stairs.
Lana : What are you doing here?
Jason : Giving you time.
He hands her the bouquet.
Lana : They're beautiful.
Jason pulls a note out of his pocket and unfolds it.
Jason : I, uh, found this. [He reads.] "Jason, I had to go back home. I wish I had time to explain." So now you do.
Lana smiles.
Lana : I'm sorry, Jason, I, uh... I don't know what to say.
Jason : It's okay. It's all right. You know, I kept trying to convince myself that this wasn't about me, but... you can't really put that in a note, can you?
Lana doesn't answer, and Jason takes that as a cue to leave. He turns away and walks toward the door.
Lana : Wait.
Jason stops and turns around.
Lana : Jason, I'm not sorry to see you. You know, it's just, you came all this way, and I-I wish I had a better explanation for you.
Jason : For why you left Paris or why you left me?
Lana : You know how I feel about you. That hasn't changed. But I can't go back.
Jason : Lana, I didn't come here to get you. I came here to be with you.
Lana smiles thankfully at Jason. He leans down to her and they kiss slowly and warmly.
Fade to black.

Released: July 17, 2007
Record Label: Suburban Noize Records
When one first opens (hed) P.E.'s latest album, Insomnia, the booklet opposite of the record says "Sick and tired of the status quo we're pissed off and we're ready to go." This is amusing as listening to them is an instant reminder of nu-metal's own status quo that this band echoes. Nu-metal, a form of heavy metal mixed with punk rock, post-grunge, and rap music, though don't hold these boys to a specific genre as they enjoy dipping the wick across the entire realm of music.
(hed) P.E. absolutely reeks of the year 1999, filled with anti-establishment lyrics, groove based guitar, and vocals that alternate between an almost comedic rap (think ICP) and Jonathan Davis-laced singing. Sometimes they work (The track, "Mirrorballin," filled with funky plucks on guitar, is a perfect example.) The lyrics, however, are just as varied as the music.
The lyrics, like the music, vary. "Mirroballin" is a porn soundtrack waiting to happen, with vocalist Jahred Shane aka M.C.U.D (Paolo Sergio Gomes) giving a girl (who refers to him as daddy) specific instructions on what to do with sex toys. On "Game Over" He mixes more sexual requests with a rap about nobody understanding Muslims, which follows up with more screaming and punk-like screaming. Intro track, "Madhouse" brings sound clips into the mix, which mix well with the screams and occassional guitar crunching and a nu-metal vocalized tint of whininess. "Walk on By" sounds like someone is gargling, which is then followed by more music and vocals.
"Wind Me Up" is another pornographic rap track that talks about discusses more pornographic adventures with the band and whatever women they're requesting to "violate," as they put it bet. The band also discusses "little girls" quite a bit, with at least 3 songs having a woman moan out "Daddy." The vocals throw in screams with this, as well as a funk-influenced beg to wanting to "get inside." It's hard to listen and take it all seriously, but the group definitely knows what they're doing with tight bass lines and occassional guitar strumming on the rap song-complete with sparadic gunshots-on "Comeova2nite."
"Rto," fills the album with hardcore punk in the beginning, then settles into another rap track that talks about post-high school memories of time passing and gangster lifestyle. "Atlantis A.D." starts out with sound clips that sound like they came right out of the history channel. The sound clips on all the songs seem fluffy. Sometimes they fit, sometimes not, but everytime, it's unclear what they're trying to say about the song's lyrics. "Atlantis A.D." is actually the most enjoyable song to listen to on the album, though it gets repetitive quick. It's definitely the most structured song on the album, with very little straying into other genres. The album closes with a punk-fused ska effort, "Don't Let Me Down," which borders on a little bit of surf rock and ska.
The biggest problem with this album is that it has almost too much musical exploration. It's as if the band got together, had 50 ideas for the 14 tracks on the album, but didn't want to formulate or bore the listener, so they through everything into a musical blender and produced Insomnia. If one can tolerate dealing with songs having multiple switches between rap, punk, nu-metal, funk, then the album is sure to be enjoyed, but if only one or two genres is desired, look elsewhere.

Building the Ultimate MLB 25-and-Under TeamNovember 29, 2011
Building the Ultimate MLB 25-and-Under Team
This year's National League Cy Young winner was Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and deservedly so. He earned it by leading the league in wins, strikeouts and ERA in a breakout year for the budding superstar. And even though he's on my favorite team, he royally pisses me off.
He is 10 months older than me. And I'm sure not one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball.
Life just isn't fair. Here's the slideshow that's guaranteed to make you feel older than anything your kids can say regarding smart phones, dub step or how J-Lo must be like...80 years old by now.
The best player in Major League Baseball at each position, equal to or under the age of 25. Enjoy! If you can see the screen, ya golden oldie...
Catcher: Buster Posey, San Francisco Giants
This is only based on one real season, since Posey missed the majority of 2011 with a nasty leg injury. But I think we can all agree that this kid rakes. He was a key cog to the Giants' World Series run and plays a good defense behind the plate.
Assuming Scott Cousins isn't barreling down the base path at him, we can look forward to seeing a lot more years of Posey's sweet swing. If he'll be at catcher from now on remains to be seen.
Honorable Mention: Carlos Santana, Cleveland Indians
First Base: Eric Hosmer, Kansas City Royals
Oh, these Royals will be fun to watch for the next half decade. Hosmer is the first of many boys in blue you will see on this team. The highly regarded prospect made his major league debut in 2011 and proved all that hype was justified with a season worthy of rookie of the year consideration.
He's got a picture-perfect lefty swing and has tons of power to all fields. He had a scary amount of composure in K.C. this year and will be a middle-of-the-order batter providing opposing rotations chills for years to come.
Honorable Mention: Freddie Freeman, Atlanta Braves
Second Base: Jemile Weeks, Oakland Athletics
This is the reason the A's can afford to let Coco Crisp walk this winter. Jemile Weeks is a younger, cheaper, dare I say faster version of Crisp and broke into the bigs this year in a fury. The kid is a terror on the base paths, smooth in the field and makes contact to all fields.
I think Weeks surprised even the most optimistic fans with the numbers he put up in half a season in the majors in 2011. In any other season where the American League rookie class wasn't so impressively deep, Weeks might have been a shoo-in for the Rookie of the Year award. A's fans can expect at least a few more years of a high average, lots of stolen bases and flashy plays from Rickie's little bro.
Honorable Mention: Danny Espinosa, Washington Nationals
Third Base: Pablo Sandoval, San Francisco Giants
It kills me to put two Giants on this team, but I have to be fair. Kung-Fu Panda is well on his way to becoming one of the best all-around young players in the National League. Once he starts to stay healthy, people will start to take notice. This guy is really good.
You can tell he loves baseball and has dedicated himself to getting in shape and fixing his swing over the last couple seasons. The results have started to show—and that's something the hitting-starved Gigantes must be very grateful for.
Honorable Mention: Brett Lawrie, Toronto Blue Jays
Shortstop: Starlin Castro, Chicago Cubs
Well at least the Cubbies are doing something right. Their barely legal (21 years old) star shortstop is good and just getting better. There were actually quite a few legit options here, with players like Dee Gordon for the Dodgers bursting on to the scene and guys like Asdrubal Cabrera in Cleveland just missing the age cut.
When all is said and done, however, Castro is the guy who gets the nod. He can make a play or two in the field and definitely knows how to set the table. He can hit for average and get on base, and remember, he's just barely old enough to order a beer. Watch out world, Starlin's going to explode in 2012.
Honorable Mention: Elvis Andrus, Texas Rangers
Left Field: Jay Bruce, Cincinnati Reds
I'm cheating a little bit. I'm forcing my outfielders to play whichever darn position out there that I choose. That is my power as hypothetical manager. That being said, the 25-year-old Jay Bruce is just a monster. He already has 100 career home runs and has proven himself extremely clutch.
Hitting in a lineup surrounded by Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips, he has been the quietest star on the Reds for a couple seasons now. He has got a pretty good arm in the outfield, but it won't really matter when he's crushing baseballs into the upper deck from the left side of the plate all day.
Honorable Mention: Andrew McCutchen, Pittsburgh Pirates
Center Field: Justin Upton, Arizona Diamondbacks
I'm moving Upton over to center, because he's a freaky athlete in the field and would definitely be able to make that transition. His speed would easily enable him to chase down fly balls in that spacious outfield in Arizona. At the ripe age of 24, he became the undeniable superstar hitter for the D'Backs.
The younger (and better) Upton was a true MVP threat until dropping off a bit at the end of the season—when his team was already assured a playoff berth. He's going to be a fun player to watch for years to come. And oh my gosh if his homers aren't the most beautiful things I've ever seen...
Honorable Mention: Desmond Jennings, Tampa Bay Rays
Right Field: Mike Stanton, Florida Marlins
I'm 10 months older than this guy. No big deal. I'm also about six inches shorter and incredibly less athletic. If we were talking about monster home runs, look no further than this Southern California-bred masher. I don't think he's ever hit a long ball short of the upper deck.
He has pretty good speed and a great arm in the outfield to boot, but people are going to be paying to watch him do one thing over the next 10 years—swing the wood. If he can cut down on strikeouts and start bringing his average up again, he will truly be up there with the likes of Matt Kemp and Upton as elite National League outfielders in the near future.
Honorable Mention: Jose Tabata, Pittsburgh Pirates
Designated Hitter: Billy Butler, Kansas City Royals
Butler has quietly become one of the best hitters in baseball. The breakout season took a little longer than expected, but after his big 2010 and 2011, Butler is a bona fide star. He will be anchoring the heart of Kansas City's young lineup for what should be a playoff run in the next couple years.
Butler can play outfield and first base, but he is usually relegated to DH'ing duty because of other talent on the Royals. His value really lies with his bat though, as he's got tremendous power to all fields and is a smart hitter at the plate. He's going to be good for a .300 average and 25 homers until his arms fall off.
Honorable Mention: Mark Trumbo, Los Angeles Angels
Starting Pitcher: Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers
This is an absolute no-brainer. Kershaw won the pitching Triple Crown and a Cy Young at age 23 and has only improved every season of his young career. He's already garnering comparisons to Sandy Koufax. That's a ton of pressure for a young guy to handle, but he's earned it.
With a powerful fastball and filthy curveball, Kershaw is just scratching the surface of his real capabilities and should be a top-tier ace for the next 10 years, barring injury. Now for my sake, let's all say a little prayer that Ned Colletti is smart enough to sign him long-term.
Honorable Mention: Madison Bumgarner, San Francisco Giants
Starting Pitcher: Felix Hernandez, Seattle Mariners
I'm just as shocked as you—King Felix is only 25?? It seems like Hernandez has been dominating hitters for a decade now, but the truth is he just came up young. This is shocking, considering he's one good season shy of 100 wins and could have anywhere from 12 to 15 more seasons ahead of him.
Could Hernandez be the next lock for 300 wins? I certainly hope so, because he's a pleasure to watch. If anyone deserved a Cy Young with 13 wins, it was him. His dirty breaking balls and explosive fastball will rule the American League for a long, long time.
Honorable Mention: Ivan Nova, New York Yankees
Starting Pitcher: Tommy Hanson, Atlanta Braves
Hanson has been one of the most unappreciated young talents in the game for a couple years now. It must be the quiet demeanor on the mound that lets him sneak by unnoticed. But if he continues to throw the way he has to start his career, the kid will be a star in no time, whether he likes it or not.
He is the typical Braves mold: a big, tall country kid with a power fastball and some knee-buckling off speed pitches to go with it. He's struggled a little bit with consistency, but that will come with experience. Watch for him to contend for the Cy Young for the next few years.
Honorable Mention: Jaime Garcia, St. Louis Cardinals
Starting Pitcher: Jeremy Hellickson, Tampa Bay Rays
I know you didn't think I would leave off the 2011 Rookie of the Year! Hellickson was every bit the uber prospect he was supposed to be this season, putting up huge numbers on top of the calmest demeanor I've seen from a rookie pitcher in years.
Hellickson was huge down the stretch for the Rays as they came back to claim a playoff spot. He's already earned his due as a pressure pitcher, and his stuff should only get better as he gets older. This rotation in Tampa is going to be scary for a while.
Honorable Mention: Brett Anderson, Oakland Athletics
Starting Pitcher: Stephen Strasburg, Washington Nationals
My rotation isn't very practical with four righties and just one southpaw, but there's no way this legend is left off the team. It's still mostly based on potential, but he's been so absolutely dominant when healthy that it definitely warrants a fifth spot in the rotation.
We all know what he brings to the table, and he seems to have taken great care in recovering from his injury. He's still hitting near triple digits on his fastball and the off speed stuff is just unfair. Even if Strasburg never wins 300 games, I promise he will retire as the all-time leader in buckled knees.
Honorable Mention: Michael Pineda, Seattle Mariners
Closing Pitcher: Neftali Feliz, Texas Rangers
Forget the fact that Feliz blew the World Series-clinching out with one strike to go. And forget that he will probably be bumped to the rotation in the very near future. The guy is absolutely dominant and cemented himself as one of the best closers int he game over the last two years.
He can regularly hit in the high 90s with his fastball and has a good arsenal to mix up breaking balls that dip and dive at insane speeds. He reminds me a lot of a young K-Rod, and I mean the sane version of him. I'd love to see him stay in that role, but chances are he'll be toeing the rubber to start by 2013 at the latest.
Honorable Mention: Craig Kimbrel, Atlanta Braves
Ultimate Prodigy Team
The fantasy baseball nerd in me is drooling at the idea of signing this lineup and rotation to represent my fake ball club for a solid six or seven years. If we don't take home at least a few titles...oh, just check it out already:
1. Jemile Weeks, 2B
2. Justin Upton, CF
3. Eric Hosmer, 1B
4. Billy Butler, DH
5. Jay Bruce, LF
6. Mike Stanton, RF
7. Buster Posey, C
8. Pablo Sandoval, 3B
9. Starlin Castro, SS
Rotation + Closer:
Clayton Kershaw, LHP
Felix Hernandez, RHP
Tommy Hanson, RHP
Jeremy Hellickson, RHP
Stephen Strasburg, RHP
Neftali Feliz, RHP - Closer
Don't forget to comment and tell me who I left off (it broke my heart to not include Jair Jurrjens, for example). But if you say I forgot Bryce Harper I will hunt you down and beat you with a sweaty jock strap. Thanks for reading!

Join The National Park Service, Blue Ridge Visitor Center and Bright Star Touring Theatre to Lift Every Voice.
A local theatre company has partnered with the National Park Service to celebrate the Centennial of the National Park Service with a special performance. Bright Star Touring Theater of Asheville, NC will present an original play Lift Every Voice: The Black Experience in the Heartland on Thursday, March 10th, 2016 at 10:30 am at the Blue Ridge Parkway Visitor Center at 195 Hemphill Knob Road, Asheville, NC 28803. Admission is FREE. Lift Every Voice is open to all ages and is best for ages 8 and up. From the study guide for Lift Every Voice:
"In creating this show, we want to celebrate the National Park Service Centennial and those who helped make America what it is today. This 60 minute production focuses on African Americans who overcame great odds in order to win their freedom and change America for the better. You will meet famous leaders, groundbreakers, and heroes such as Col. Charles Young, Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington Carver. You will learn about many of the great National Parks throughout the Midwest, such as the Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site and the Brown v Board of Education National Historic Site. This powerful production also includes songs such as "I'm Gonna Eat at the Welcome Table" and "Lift Every Voice & Sing." With this production the National Park Service hopes to provide a launching pad for better understanding the Black experience in the Heartland. We hope this production can teach some of the history of the National Park Service and offer young people real role models and heroes from American History."
The performance of Lift Every Voice coincides with Bright Star's filming of the production at the Blue Ridge Parkway Visitor Center. Each year, Bright Star Touring Theatre serves nearly 1,400 audiences in schools, theaters, libraries, museums, and more across the country. They offer a wide variety of curriculum-based programs. The company performs regularly at the National Theatre in Washington DC and the Savannah Black Heritage Festival in Georgia. Information about all their interactive shows, including production videos, photos, study guides and more is available online at www.brightstartheatre.com.

Update: Are you a venture capitalist or an angel investor looking to invest in a company? Are you an entrepreneur looking for capital or other opportunities? Are you an aspiring startup owner looking for assistance? Well, you have come to the right place. Ventureburn presents an updated guide to East Africa's startup scene.
This article is the most comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to get involved with, or have a better understanding of, the region's fast-growing startup space. It's the second of our inaugural series, with others focussing on South Africa and West Africa.
Read more: Everything you need to know about the South African startup ecosystem [2015/2016 Update]
With some insight from our friends at iHub in Nairobi, we have scoured East Africa's entrepreneurial landscape and hand-picked some of the top players to get you started, looking at all sectors from education, investment (angel, venture capital, private equity), government, accelerators and incubators to media players.
As comprehensive this article is, with your comments and suggestions, we hope to create a clear overview of the people and organisations that influence and shape East Africa's tech venture space. Please feel free to comment or tweet us any suggestions you may have.
Venture capital (VC) is all about early-stage, high-potential, high-risk, growth startups. East Africa's VC scene mostly consists of a mixture between a couple of local firms and international non-profit impact funds.
The US-based Accion Venture Lab is a non-profit investment vehicle with a scope that includes 32 countries on four continents. Founded in 1961, the organisation is on a mission to alleviate poverty by offering financial products such as micro-enterprise loans and business training. Some notable investments in East Africa include Kenya's mobile payments provider Kopo Kopo and lending company Umati Capital.
With a similar focus to Accion, the Acumen Fund invests in companies that are changing the way the world tackles poverty. Targeting West and East Africa, Latin America, Pakistan and India, some prominent investments in East Africa over the last year include Miliki Afya which provides affordable health care in Kenya, data analytics company First Access from Tanzania and Uganda-based SolarNow.
The investment arm of global tech giant, Intel Capital, launched in 1991 and claims to have invested more than US$11.6-billion in over 1 447 companies in 57 countries. Although, news is scarce of any significant investments made into the East African region as of late, Intel has been active in recognising developers and startups through various competitions and programmes. Early 2015, Intel awarded three Kenyan startups with KSh1.3-million (around US$12 000). In the same year, the organisation also launched the Intel Education Accelerator in Kenya which aims to provide guidance and a potential Intel Capital investment of up to US$100 000.
Village Capital finds, trains, and funds entrepreneurs solving global problems. Its non-profit programme VilCap operates business development programmes for early-stage entrepreneurs in agriculture, education, energy, financial inclusion, and health. VilCap Investments — its affiliated, for-profit investment fund — invests in the two top-ranked graduates from each programme. In 2015, in partnership with the MasterCard Foundation, DOEN Foundation and Duncan Goldie-Scot, the initiative launched the Village Capital FinTech for Agriculture: East Africa 2015 accelerator programme which ultimately invested US$100 000 in two local companies, Farmline and Atikus Insurance. In the same year, Kenyan agricultural business Ojay Greene won a US$100 000 investment prize in an investment competition.
The Mara Foundation is behind the Mara Launch Fund — a venture capital firm which provides financing for "innovative startups or early-stage businesses with high-risk but high-growth potential". According to the fund, it is designed to respond to the challenges faced in raising capital by young Africa-based entrepreneurs in the different economic sectors.
With a focus on Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda, Fanisi Venture Capital describes itself as a US$50-million fund which makes direct investments in businesses with potential for substantial growth.
Clifftop Colony is described as an investment advisory firm focused on private and illiquid assets in emerging African markets. The firm focuses on developing and raising capital for private equity franchises, individual companies and venture projects. It usually invests in early-stage startups, preferring investments of R20-million and above.
Co-founded by one of the brains behind the renowned data company, Ushahidi, Erik Hersman manages the Savannah Fund alongside i/o Ventures' Paul Bragiel, Maryse Liburdi and Mbwana Alliy. The firm is a seed capital fund, specialising in US$25 000 to US$500 000 investments in early-stage, high-growth tech startups in sub-Saharan Africa. Initially focused on East Africa, the fund aims to bridge the early stage and angel and venture capital investment gap that currently exists in the continent as a whole. Its most recent (2015) investments include mobile research company Djuaji Research, online store Podozi.com and bitcoin outfit BitFinance.
The Omidyar Network is active across the African continent, as it is around the world. Founded by Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay, the initiative has not only established itself as a leader in intelligence and advocacy in the region's startup ecosystem, but has been funding a range of ventures from Lagos to Cape Town and Nairobi. Besides providing venture capital, the Omidyar offers human capital capabilities, from serving on boards to consulting on strategy, coaching executives to recruiting new talent. Some notable East African investments include Off Grid Electric from Tanzania and online news outlet HiviSasa from Kenya.
The Hong Kong-headquartered VC and incubator Nest expanded to East Africa earlier this year to connect local talent with Asian investors and networks. While operations have only recently started out, Nest noted that it plans to look to the whole continent for talent, especially Accra, Lagos and Cape Town. The organisation has more recently partnered with co-working spaces Nairobi and Cape Town Garage in order to give startups access to workspace in Hong Kong and vice versa.
1776 is a global incubator and seed fund that seeks to help startups transform industries, from education, energy & sustainability, health and transportation. The organisation's 1776 Challenge Cup travelled to Nairobi early 2015, with the country's Twiga Fruits claiming the ultimate prize of US$150 000 in seed funding.
Seedstars World, as the name suggests, is a global venture capital firm based in Switzerland. Startups from a growing number of emerging markets — including Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda — are invited to pitch and take part in the international competition where they'll stand a chance to win up to US$500 000 in equity investment.
An incubator brings in an outside team to manage an idea that was developed internally and takes a larger chunk of equity in the resulting company.
mLab East Africa is a mobile incubation centre based in Kenya, formed through partnerships with eMobilis (see below), the World Wide Web Foundation, the University of Nairobi School of Computing and Informatics, and iHub (see below). For six to twelve months, selected startups in the virtual incubation programme become part of a learning and networking community. mLab is also behind the very successful Pivot East mobile awards competition.
Rwanda's kLab aims to provide an open space for tech entrepreneurs to collaborate and innovate in the country's capital, Kigali. It is open to students, fresh graduates, entrepreneurs, and innovators — it aims to provide them with somewhere to work on their ideas and projects to turn them into viable business models.
Based in Uganda, Outbox is a tech incubation, collaboration space and innovation hub that supports techies and provides further support for people to turn their tech ideas that utilise mobile and web into sustainable businesses.
@iBizAfrica is a business incubator operating out of Kenya with support from IDEA foundation (Norway), Deloitte and CIO East Africa. The initiative offers mentoring services, access to finance, business coaching and the works to help develop ICT solutions and businesses.
An accelerator does exactly what its name suggests — helps businesses accelerate growth. For the most part, an accelerator differs from an incubator in that programmes usually run for shorter periods, often ranging between three and six months. The programme usually rounds off with a demo day where startups pitch their ideas to investors.
Kenya's NaiLab is a startup accelerator that focuses on early-stage business ideas that are likely to have a large social and economic impact, are highly scalable, require minimum investments to prototype, and have a strong value proposition. It offers a three to six-month entrepreneurship programme for growing innovative technology-driven ideas.
Sinapis Group is on a mission to empower aspiring entrepreneurs in the developing world — including Kenya — with innovative, scalable business ideas by providing them with a rigorous religious-centred business education, consulting and mentoring services.
Instituted by the telecom giant Millicom, Rwanda-based Think launched its pan-African startup accelerator and incubation programmes a few years ago. In addition to its six-month flagship programme, the organisation has also developed a high-intensity three-month offering.
The Rwanda Creative Hub touts itself as the first accelerator in the country. The initiative provides seed funding, office space, and mentorship to emerging new ideas in the creative industry.
The 88mph accelerator started in Kenya and later moved to Cape Town where it merged with Google's Umbono programme for entrepreneurs, and was subsequently called Google for Entrepreneurs. As is the case in South Africa, the programme has announced it's taking a break this year from investing to focus on its existing portfolio.
With more initiatives relying on the power of networking and consulting, East Africa's angel investment scene is on the rise, albeit slow.
Some heavy-weight individual influencers, however, include Hilda Moraa, who's the co-founder of Weza Tele, a tech distribution company that recently got acquired by AFB. Sam Gichuru, on the other hand, is the co-founder and CEO at Nailab, who's invested in digital jobs platform Kuhustle.
Based in Kampala, the Angels Initiative Uganda provides solutions that optimise enterprise growth in Africa. By leveraging the support of its partners, the initiative has been backing companies such as Angels Hub, ViOffices, Care SMS and Sise Works.
African Business Angel Network (better known as just ABAN) describes itself as a pan-African non-profit association founded to support the development of early-stage investor networks across the continent and to get many more (early-stage) investors excited about the opportunities in Africa. The organisation recently completed a successful tour from Lagos to Nairobi and Cape Town, to help mobilise the pockets of angels across the continent.
Private equity firms differ from their venture capital counterparts in a fundamental way. Private equity is about taking a company at a later stage in its development and restructuring it to optimise its financial performance.
East Africa Venture Capital Association (EAVCA) was founded in 2013 to represent the private equity industry in East Africa and provide a voice for industry players to raise awareness and engage on regional policy matters. The association currently acts through advocacy, networking, and intelligence.
GroFin describes itself as a development financier specialising in financing and supporting small and growing businesses in Africa and the Middle East. It recently launched a renewed US$100-million fund, which follows an existing fully invested US$170-million budget.
Fusion Capital Africa was founded in 2007 as a Kenyan SME finance house. The firm currently focusses on private equity as well as real estate investments. Some of its most well-known investments include a whopping US$34-million in a shopping complex in Kigali and a US$2-million into an aggregate mining company in Rwanda.
Emerging Capital Partners (ECP Investments) is a pan-African private equity firm that has raised over US$2-billion for investment across the continent. Its most recent investments include Maarifa Education Holdings and Algerian company Atlas Bottling Corporation.
Catalyst Principal Partners is behind a US$125-million Eastern Africa-focused private equity fund that invests in emerging and mid-sized companies with strong growth and profitability prospects.
Similar to networking bodies and hubs, conferences are seen as key players in celebrating the startup space. These initiatives are often accompanied by pitching competitions, keynotes and networking.
@iLabAfrica seeks to provide an environment that promotes tech innovation and provides business support structures. The organisation is behind a range of initiatives with the most recent including the Holiday Boot Camp which seeks to encourage children partake and familiarise themselves in the ICT sector.
The Tanzania-based Kinu is about accelerating the country's tech and social landscape. Apart from work space with high-speed internet access, the hub also drives competitions, webinars and the like.
Also based in Tanzania, the Buni Hub was founded in 2011, with the need to foster innovation and technology entrepreneurship through capacity building, mentoring programmes and community empowerment. Alongside its mentorship programme, the space also acts as a stage for competitions and has recently hosted the #Tech4Governance pitch competition.
Hive Colab is an innovation hub based in Uganda. As noted on the site, the co-working space focuses on young tech entrepreneurs, web and mobile app developers, designers, investors, VCs and donors.
With the aim of empowering every African who has a great idea for a business or an application and to turn that idea into a reality which in turn can help their community, Microsoft's 4Afrika initiative has made a lot of progress on the African continent. Most recently, in 2015, it launched a dedicated hub for SMEs in Kenya.
iHub is arguably Africa's most talked about innovation hub. Based in Kenya, the organisation acts an open space for the technologists, investors, tech companies and hackers in the area. The initiative is also behind loads of events, research, consulting and fostering a strong startup community in Kenya and the greater region.
A news source, networking hub and investment platform, VC4Africa boasts that it's the largest online community of entrepreneurs and investors dedicated to building game-changing companies in Africa.
A flagship of LIONS@FRICA, DEMO Africa is an annual pan-African pitch competition and conference dressed as a launchpad for emerging technology and trends. LIONS@FRICA was launched by the US Department of State, in collaboration with Microsoft, DEMO, USAID and Startup Weekend.
As research in Omidyar's Accelerating Entrepreneurship in Africa report suggests, management and other entrepreneurial skills should be fostered in schools.
Moringa School is a coding school based in the Nairobi Garage. The initiative offers a "world-class" curriculum that includes everything from Android, HTML and CSS to business fundamentals and presentation skills.
The Dev School started out in 2013 to help train young technology enthusiasts in Kenya & South Sudan building strategic partnerships within the tech community.
Andela is backed by the US-based Spark Capital with a mission to transform the global technology landscape by connecting top employers with untapped talent around the world. While it started out in Nigeria, it launched its programme in Kenya early 2015.
Emobilis was founded in 2008 and is touted as the first of its kind in the region, focusing on training individuals on mobile software development, as well as network infrastructure management.
Without media, there's no story. Along with the "African rising" narrative and more international interest in the continent as a region for investment opportunity, an increasingly large number of publications from abroad are interested in telling the country's stories, amplifying their reach.
Ventureburn features written and video-based technology startup profiles, as well as news, analysis and opinion pieces on entrepreneurship from an emerging market perspective. If you want to get your business featured, you can fill out our startup questionnaire.
TechMoran is a tech news site that focuses on Africa's disruptive technology scene. The site also runs the TechMoran Tour, which it says is "solely to stir innovation and entrepreneurship on the continent with a huge bias to entrepreneurs in high school, universities and colleges and those in innovation hubs pursuing their dream across Africa".
Disrupt Africa aims to be the go-to source for all things startups, investments and innovation in North, East, West and Southern Africa. Alongside news articles, the site also focuses on interviews and stories on important stakeholders of the industry.
More and more corporates, especially major financial institutions and telecoms, are starting to support more startup on the ground. With major disruptors like M-Pesa on the tip of everyone's tongues, corporates are keen to have a finger in the pie of East Africa's growing fintech sector.
Chase Bank Kenya's Kilele Planet is an interactive web-based portal and business club targeted at their growing SME customer base. As most banks of late, CBK has growing interest in the bubbling fintech space which prompted it to recently partner with mLab and iHub to offer two local startups support and potential integration.
As the case in South Africa and the rest of the continent, Barclays this year started focusing more on startups. Apart from global initiatives such as Rise — which seeks to connect, co-create and scale fintech startups' innovative ideas — the British bank has recently partnered with Nest and Moringa School to launch the Barclays Kenya Product Lab in the country's capital to support local developers.
Equity Bank Kenya earlier in 2015 announced that it's set to commit US$200-million from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) to lend to youth and women-led SME's over the next five years.

According to Joystiq, Sony will be reducing the price to the PSP Go in North America on Friday, October 15th.
The rumor stems from an image an anonymous tipster sent in, which shows a new price listing for the Sony PSP Go at an Army and Air Force Exchange Service retail store. The new price lists the digital-download only handheld at $199.95.
Sony has yet to comment on the rumor, although if true, the new price hits this Friday. Stay tuned for more information.

Is Online Dating OK? a guest blog
For many people the shortage of potential partners is a travesty. This results in us being creative in ways we can meet that special somebody. But as my talkshow recently discovered, the jury is divided on whether online dating is ok for a Christian to do. So I asked Annmarie (whom used online dating and met her husband through it) what she thought, and here is her opinion that she wrote me…
The "F" word
What do you do when a friend stabs you in the back? What to do with a gossip? What to do with the person who tried to destroy you? Have some people made you want to use the "F" word? If you ever asked yourself these questions, this Mark Fennell blog is for you 😉 Continue reading
Are you an effective team?
Are you and your partner an effective team? If you have seen the movie Oblivion, you will remember the line from mission control as they check in on the team operatives.

I want to ask YOU reading this article. I want to ask… Are YOU and effective team??? Keep reading and I'll explain why.
Don't be a People Pleaser!
Are you a people pleaser, or a Yes-Man? Do you feel you must agree with people all the time? Are you afraid to be yourself for fear they might not like you? Too many people will sell their soul just to gain a few browny points with a boss or friend. It happens everywhere from colleges, to the work place, to church. Relationship issues, frustration, agitation, are just some of the results of being a YES-MAN.

I'm thankful for all of the changes in my life since this time last year. I'm thankful that Josh is here and we're hosting Thanksgiving this year, in our home, rather than having him here just visiting for two weeks like last year. I'm thankful for him and his support in general. I mean who doesn't love a guy who cooks and cleans and supports the shit out of you? There have been a lot of life changes in the past twelve months and we've handled them all like bosses. I am thankful everyday that he's at home when I get there. I still have moments, laying in bed right before I fall asleep, where I am amazed and in awe that we managed to get where we are and that we are actually sharing this crazy life. Out of all of the things I have to be thankful for he is the one that makes me wonder what amazing thing I did in a past life to deserve what I have now.
My super awesome kid makes me thankful. He's ten, and annoying, but he's turning into a great person. He's always been pretty great and thoughtful but he has figured out and matured so much in the past year. As much as he is still a distracted ten year old kid he is finding his voice and figuring out the type of person that he wants to be. I feel like we're living in this very short time frame where I'm actually a cool person, that might last another year so I'm going to enjoy it while I can.
I'm thankful for the traditions that I have, and the people that I share them with. I'm thankful for pies and wine on Thanksgiving Eve. I'm thankful for green bean casserole and cranberry sauce. I'm thankful that my family, and Josh's, like each other so that we can all spend Thanksgiving. I'm thankful that I get to make a whole new set of traditions this Christmas and keep the ones that I already have going. I'm thankful for Christmas cookies with Veronica and Christmas Eve at my Mom and Dad's. I'm thankful for Zap and December 1st Christmas Pajamas. I'm thankful that I have all of these things to be thankful for.
Really, I'm just very thankful for this awesome life and the awesome people in it who help it suck a whole lot less than it could.

text: Here's something kids today may not understand. If you were born in the 50s, 60s, 70s, or even the early 80s, you probably shouldn't be alive right now. Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets. Some of us were born to mothers who worked at places where everyone smoked, this caused them to inhale dangerous chemicals from cigarretes. Not to mention as children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Our parents could not call our cell phone if they wanted to reach us and we were O.K. Check out the video below to see a look back at some of those fond memories we still hold on to, and wish children of today could have experienced.
