Javier, if the boss catches you resting...
he's gonna do what -- Fire me?
Francisco, the guy doesn't even pay us.
I didn't come to america to be a slave.
I came to be with my mom.
I have a plan.
If we run fast enough, we can escape.
Everyone who's tried to run has disappeared.
Francisco, you've known me your whole life.
Have i ever let you down?
You just got to trust me.
Francisco, come on!
�Est� bien? �Necesita ayuda?
Somebody call a doctor!
What's happening here?
Get him some water.
You two, come on, back to work.
Let's go!
Francisco, if you stay here,
You're gonna end up like that guy back there.
Let's go find my mom.
Hurry, francisco.
Come on. Let's go.
What?!
I don't know. What was that?!
Shh! Shh! Shh!
Run.
Come on. Let's go!
Hurry, francisco. Run faster!
Come on.
Francisco?!

You didn't get much sleep.
Neither did you.
It's kind of become a pattern lately.
You mean since you proposed?
Lana, i don't want you to give me an answer
Until you're ready.
To be honest, i wish i could take it back.
Look, i'm usually...
more calculated and strategic.
But with you, you never make me see clearly.
I do everything out of impulse.
You're not the only one.
Things have just moved so fast.
Take as much time as you want.
Thank you.
Um, are you sure that the board can't survive
Without their boss for one more hour?
Believe me, if i could stay with you, i would.
Look, just because i'm stuck in an office all day
Doesn't mean you can't be off having fun.
Three lost vermeer paintings were discovered last month.
You should go to the opening.
At metropolis museum?
Actually, it's a bit farther.
The rijksmuseum.
In amsterdam?
Lex, that's 4,000 miles away.
And one of the most romantic cities in the world,
Where you'll feel very lonely
And realize how much you miss me.
Nice strategy, boss.
Only if it works.
Hey!
Wait. Hold on.
What happened to you? Are you all right?
You should get those cleaned up. Why don't you come inside?
I promise, no one's gonna hurt you.
Wow. Slow down.
What do you want to drink with that?
I think we have milk, orange juice...
and, uh, lemonade.
Guess this would be easier if i spoke spanish.
Orange juice, please.
Orange juice.
Your english is perfect.
I watched a lot of american tv.
Oh. And what's your name?
Javier. I'm clark.
So, javier...
why don't you tell me how you got all scraped up
And why you were hiding in our barn?
Please promise you won't call the police.
Why would i call the police?
Because i ran away from that farm down the road.
What, jed mcnally's?
If i ever wanted to see my mom again,
I had to escape from that place.
You talk about that farm like it's a prison.
It is.
No one was allowed to leave.
There was barely enough to eat.
My friend and i, francisco, tried to escape.
But we started running,
And there was this really loud noise.
Then he was gone.
Look, um, i'm sorry. I will have to call the sheriff.
No! You can't.
I'm here illegally. They'll send me back to mexico.
Mexico?
That's a long way from smallville.
How did you get here?
Last week, a coyote smuggled 15 of us across the border
In the back of a truck.
I was supposed to be sent to see my mom.
Instead i ended up at that farm.
Where's your mom now?
She works at a laundry company down in granville.
When my dad died, she moved up north.
Saved up money for two years to get me here.
Your mom must really miss you.
Yeah. See this?
She gave me this...
to keep me safe.
I should've given it to francisco.
We did everything together.
He was like a brother to me.
Well, don't worry. We're gonna find your friend.
Hey, there, clark.
Mr. Mcnally.
Well, it's been a long time.
Your farm looks great.
Thought your crops were nearly destroyed
During the last meteor shower.
It may sound strange,
But i've come to think of that meteor shower as a blessing.
Taught me, with a little hard work,
Anything is possible.
What did the deputy want?
Looking for illegal aliens.
You better believe that all my workers have their papers.
I'm sorry to hear about your father, clark.
How's your mom holding up?
She's okay. Thanks.
Our tractor, on the other hand --
We broke an axle.
I was hoping you might have a spare pivot pin.
Pivot pin? You know, i just might.
Let me check the barn.
Excuse me. I'm looking for francisco.
Do you know francisco?
El �rbol grande a la cinco.
I'm sorry. I don't understand.
El �rbol grande a la cinco.
Found one! [ Laughs ]
You're in luck. Still in the wrapper.
Thanks.
Give my best to the senator.
Sure.
You know how i stand.
Our budget issues shouldn't get in the way
Of one single classroom.
Thank you. You won't regret it.
Bye.
Mom, you're home early from topeka.
The vote was postponed, which isn't so bad.
Gives me time to shore up support.
Is everything all right?
Um...
afternoon, senator.
Hello. Is there a problem?
Well, a motorist saw a latino boy
Running across highway 54,
And he might be an undocumented worker.
Have you seen anyone?
I just got home. Clark?
It seems like an awful lot of trouble
Just to catch one person.
Well, not if he's in the country illegally.
Do you mind if i look at your barn?
No. Go ahead.
Do you really have to search our property?
Clark, it's fine. We don't have anything to hide.
Then i'll go with you.
No one seems to be here.
Well, it's best to be thorough.
You'd be surprised where people can hide.
You know, this kid isn't hurting anyone.
Why not just let him be?
I'm just doing my job, clark.
If you want to get into the country,
You need to do it the legal way, like my parents did.
If you see anything, give us a call.
Will do, deputy.
You can come out now. He's gone.
How'd you know i was in there?
I used to play a lot of hide-And-Seek when i was a kid.
Why didn't you tell the police?
Because i know what it feels like to be out of place.
Besides, i'm not from around here, either.
Where are you from?
It's a place a lot further than mexico.
Listen, javier, i need your help.
All the workers at the farm are too scared to talk,
But one of them said this to me.
Can you translate it for me?
"Big tree 5."
There's a huge willow tree at the farm.
I'll go check it out. You just stay here, all right?
You're not going anywhere, clark.
We have no choice. We have to call immigration.
I told javier he'd be safe here, and i meant it.
I want to help this boy as much as you do,
But i took an oath to uphold the law.
All he's trying to do is find his mom.
I know, but we have to go through
The proper legal channels.
Was it legal when you forged my adoption papers?
I'm an illegal immigrant, mom.
You've been harboring me for over 17 years.
Your situation was entirely different.
We had to protect you!
And i need to protect javier.
If i don't defend him, who will?
Clark... there's a mother out there
Who hasn't seen her son in over two years.
Do you really want to stand in the way of that?
I thought you of all people would understand.
I-I'll take him to chloe's, okay?
Just give me 24 hours before you call the deputy.
I got to go somewhere, mom.
Are you francisco?
Do you know where i can find him?
La tierra lo trag�.
I'm sorry. I don't understand.
He says the ground swallowed him,
Like all the others.
Diablo de bajo de la tierra.
There are three laundry services in granville.
Your mom must be at one of them.
All right.
As soon as clark finds francisco, we can go find her.
One second. Write those addresses down.
Hi.
Brace yourself for the date of a lifetime.
Start with a fancy dinner complete with a snobby waiter,
Extra forks, inappropriate footsie.
Jimmy.
Then a moonlit stroll down main street.
Hand-Holding optional, of course.
And then we conclude the evening here...
with dessert.
Uh...
hey.
Uh, who's your friend?
Javier, meet jimmy.
Javier is clark's friend from mexico.
He's only been in the country for a couple weeks,
And we're hanging out until clark gets back.
Sorry.
Well, let's get this party started.
[ Loudly ] javier...
you have not experienced america
Until you've experienced pepperoni pizza.
Isn't pizza from italy?
[ Normal voice ] well, that's a-A common misconception.
Um, we came up with the cheese angle.
I'm gonna go order. Okay.
Is that your boyfriend?
Yeah, i'd like to order one pepperoni pizza, please.
Yeah. Large.
Define "boyfriend."
Hey.
Clark.
Did you find francisco?
Um, i'm still working on that.
Chloe, can i talk to you for a second?
Just a second.
Clark, what did you find?
Chloe, that place is a graveyard.
There's bodies buried everywhere.
I called the sheriff.
He's on his way to mcnally's farm.
I took a look at the farm's property records.
Guess which fortune 500 company so graciously came in
And purchased the land after it had been pummeled
During the last meteor shower.
Luthorcorp.
Would you watch javier? I'll be right back.
Of course.
I thought i told you you're no longer a welcome guest
At the mansion.
Trust me, lex -- I don't want to be here, either.
But after what you've done --
And exactly what did i do?
Did i swat at a fly with too much force?
I know you want to make money, lex, at any cost,
But exploiting and murdering migrant workers?
Is that really worth the bottom line?
Clark, if you're going to accuse me of murder,
You might want to have the facts to back it up.
Last year, luthorcorp bought jed mcnally's farm,
And any illegal immigrant who didn't want to be used
As forced labor was buried in a cornfield.
I don't know what you're talking about.
But then i could quote you "the farmers' almanac,"
And you'd still call me a liar.
What do you think lana would do if she found out about this?
Well, we could ask her,
Except she's on her way to amsterdam on my jet.
I wasn't able to clear my schedule.
You should know i've told the sheriff about this,
So you can save your lies about luthorcorp for him.
C.K. Missed a mean stuffed crust.
So where did he run off to?
[ Clears throat ] clark just had some stuff --
Look, you don't have to cover for him, chloe.
I know why he left.
He doesn't like me. And i get it.
You're my girl,
And the poor guy is madly in love with you.
I can't really blame him.
Clark and i are just friends. Trust me.
That ship is anchored firmly at bay.
And as far as him not liking you,
That's impossible, jimmy...
because you make me so happy.
Uh, we have company, remember?
Oh, no.
Javier!
Wait!
Javier!
Clark, you got to come quick. I'm at the apartment, okay?
Just get here as soon as you...
can.
Where's javier?
Oh, clark, i am so sorry.
What happened?
He was just eating pizza, and then he disappeared.
Jimmy is outside looking for him right now.
Chloe, all i did was ask you to watch him.
I know, and i plead guilty to child negligence
In the third degree.
Look, he just jumped onto a truck and disappeared.
Clark, if something happens to him...
any luck?
Been looking all night.
I haven't found javier.
Do you think any of those guys are his buddy francisco?
Deputy morales?
Have you identified any of the bodies yet?
They appear to be undocumented laborers.
All their papers were forged.
When the others found out they were missing,
They were too scared to report it.
What's gonna happen to the others?
They'll be detained
And sent back to their country of origin.
The good news is, though,
Thanks to your tip, clark, mcnally can't hurt anyone else.
You sure there's no other field we should check, mcnally?
Be in your best interests, sir, to tell us now.
That punk who got away -- He got to you, didn't he?
Mr. Mcnally, why did you do it?
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
This farm is my livelihood.
So you brought in slave labor
Then killed them when they tried to leave?
I wasn't about to let a couple of lazy potato pickers
Turn me in.
I guess i did that for them.
Well, then you and that boy will pay for it!
Get him out of here.
When i told you to keep me informed
Of jed mcnally's activities,
I thought you might include such trifling details
As mass murder.
Sir, i had no idea
That he was killing his workers.
You might want to get a stronger prescription
For those glasses, dr. Bauer.
They found corpses on that farm.
All that i knew
Was that the meteors gave him the ability
To displace minerals and burrow through earth.
I didn't spend millions on research
For the test subject to end up in jail.
Find mcnally before the authorities do.
Mr. Luthor, you and i both know the man could be anywhere.
Then i suggest you start digging.
I want him back.
Hey, clark, what happened?
Javier is not the only one who escaped.
The police had mcnally in custody,
And all of a sudden he disappeared into the ground.
Makes sense, seeing as jed mcnally
Is 100% certified meteor freak.
I checked into the planet's archives,
And it looks like our farmer friend
Was buried under a mountain of kryptonite.
That's why he went missing for three days,
And it may explain his ability to move underground.
Being a human rototiller
Definitely helps with the harvest.
In the last year and a half,
His farm has tripled in productivity.
It sounds like he was being his own personal border patrol.
I mean, if anyone ever tried to leave,
He made sure they wouldn't live to tell the authorities.
The same jed mcnally who used to go fishing with my dad
Is now a murderer.
If anything could turn a law-Abiding citizen
Into a card-Carrying serial killer,
It's kryptonite.
Man: unit 12.
Suspected stowaway on bus headed toward granville.
Suspect male, hispanic, early teens.
No i.D. Javier.
I've been monitoring the police scanner in granville.
Absolutely could be...
hurry, clark.
Come on, kid, the police are coming.
Let's do this the easy way, huh?
I got to get to my mom.
Leave him alone.
Mind your own business, kid.
He is my business.
How'd you do that?
Javier, promise me you won't tell anybody about this.
Don't worry.
I've become an expert at keeping secrets.
All right, get in the truck.
Let's get you home.
So, i'm assuming that a behind-The-Scenes tour
Of a laundry wasn't exactly on your dream-Date itinerary.
I wouldn't rule it out.
A stack of towels could be awfully cushiony.
Easy.
Uh, excuse me. Hi.
I'm just looking for esperanza ramirez.
Are you esperanza?
We know your son, javier.
Javier?
He's in america?
Yeah. He's looking for you. Where is he?
At our friend's house. We can take you there.
Yes.
Chloe: we found her.
Great. Thanks.
That was chloe.
Your mom is her way to my house right now.
Oh, i can't believe it!
After two years, i finally get to see her.
You never told me about francisco, clark.
Just tell me. Please.
Javier, i'm sorry. He's dead.
The sheriff i.D.'D his body.
Look, i know it's tough.
I've lost people close to me, too.
Stop the car.
Javier, i --
Please, just stop the car.
Javier!
Javier, i got to get you out of here.
I never should have brought francisco with me.
Why didn't i give this to francisco?
If we hadn't tried to escape...
it's not your fault, javier.
Come on.
Let's go see your mom.
Clark!
Clark...
you're all right.
I think this is yours.
Come on. Let's go see your mom.
Mam�!
Javier.
Are you okay? What happened?
Clark saved me.
Javier should get to a hospital, be checked out.
No. We can't. No hospitals.
Hopefully you won't have to worry about that anymore.
I'm doing everything in my power to get your family legal status.
Mom, you can do that?
I'm working on it.
I've been talking to esperanza.
Javier seems like an amazing boy,
A boy i'd be proud to see as a citizen someday.
What about your position on the senate?
Sometimes when you're dealing with extraordinary people,
You need to take a risk.
That's a lesson i learned from my son.
Hey.
Hi.
How was your trip?
A small-Town girl from kansas
In the presidential suite
With a stretch limousine at her beck and call --
It was definitely a change.
I'm sorry if you felt uncomfortable.
Not at all.
Actually, i thought it was amazing.
Yeah, it's easy to get used to, isn't it?
Lex, there were 2,000 people in line for that art exhibit,
And suddenly the ocean parted,
And i was escorted past everyone.
I realized that money isn't just luxury, lex.
It's power.
And that power can be yours, too, now.
Think of all the good we can do in the world.
And i know exactly where i want to start.
"Huge 1-Bedroom, dsl ready. Sprawling views of downtown."
If that doesn't scream chloe sullivan --
Jimmy, i'm not screaming for anyplace to live.
Okay, well, this one is well-Lit, secure parking.
Jimmy, i have an apartment.
And, yes, my roommate might blast metallica in the bathroom,
But i'm happy there.
Chloe, it's in smallville.
Look, i just don't feel too comfortable
With my...friend living in a town
Surrounded by murderous freaks --
A chick who sprouts vines,
A serial-Killer farmer with a dirt fetish.
I mean, who knows what's next?
Jimmy, your "friend" has been living in smallville
For the past 10 years.
And believe it or not, she is still standing.
Then you must have one dedicated guardian angel.
Jimmy, look, smallville got me stories,
And those stories got me hired
At one of the best newspapers in the world.
Are you sure your looks had nothing to do with it?
Aren't you two still on the clock?
C.K.
Just the man that i wanted to see.
Look, i'm a straight shooter,
So we should probably just get this out in the open.
I know that you got your issues with me.
What do you mean?
The whole chloe-And-Me thing.
And, hey, you know what? I get it.
But what i'm about is working through it.
Do you play hoops?
Great. Cool.
Then we will, you know, go play a little one-On-One,
And we'll just leave it out on the court
'Cause i'm your bro, not your foe.
Ring that bell.
There it is.
[ Laughing ] please don't ask any follow-Up questions.
Nice byline.
Hey, thanks. Yeah.
It wouldn't have a happy ending if it wasn't for you, though.
Come on, clark, you put a psycho killer away,
And you reunited a mother with her son.
I mean, there are only so many hours in the day.
Well, see, that's the thing.
No matter how many people i save,
I can't solve the world's problems.
I don't know anyone else
Who does more for this world than you.
Clark?
I thought you were in amsterdam.
I'm back. Is your mom around?
No, she's in topeka.
Um, well, i brought by some paperwork for her.
Should i leave it in the house?
That's all right. I'll take it.
I'll make sure she gets it.
This must be pretty important
If you're hand-Delivering it yourself.
Luthorcorp wants to sponsor the residency
Of the workers on your neighbor's farm.
They'll all be given jobs at the plant.
You realize the only reason lex is doing this
Is to wash his hands of it.
Lex had no idea
What was going on on that farm.
Lana, you don't believe that.
Unlike some people i know, lex doesn't lie to me.
Or he just wants his name clear of murder and slavery,
So he sends a messenger to do his cleanup work.
I'm not lex's messenger, clark.
This was my idea.
I resent the fact that you think i'm some puppet
That he can manipulate.
I didn't mean it like that.
It's exactly what you meant.
Mcnally remains in a low-Level coma.
Put him with the others.
