J: Of course you will.
He went towards her and try to kiss her lips, but she took out the knief.
J: What do you want to do with that, dear? Are you going to kill me? - he was laughing.
M: I will if you don't let me away.
He tried to kiss her even that, but she put the knief really close to his neck.
M: Trust me, James, I will kill you - she was sceared, but she knew she couldn't let him to see that.
J: Keep this Martha, because you can be hurt.
M: No. You will be.
J: Martha, dear, you don't want Clark to find us at that way, do you?
M: It doesn't matter - she was crying of fear and anger - But you wan't Clark to find you hurting me.
J: Are you sure? - he put his hand on his pocket and took out a piece of cryptonite. Martha opened her eyes of surprise - You never imagined that I knew it, did you?
M: You knew what?
J: Your son's secret.
M: No... you can't now anything... - she couldn't belive it.
J: Of course I can. I knew all before marry you. I had been investigating the strange Kent family from Kansas for years, since the signs appeared on your fields. Then I had an obsession for strange things like that. One day I came to Smallville, I wanted to meet your family, but I find you alone, with your flowers, and I couldn't say anything, do you know why? Because I felt in love with you! But you were married then, so when your husband dead I started to follow you, When I found out that you were moving to Washington I decided that that was the moment... and I achieved it!
M: It can't be true...
J: Of course it is! - he was laughing.
Martha felt that she her force was disappearing, so she tried to don't let the knief fall down, and she take it hardly.
M: Why? Why you haven't say it to me until today?
J: Because that was my last chance. If I couldn't keep you with me with my love, I was always able to say you that I knew your secret, and then you wouldn't have another choise than stay with me. - he smile with maliciousness. He's almost going to say something when Clark appears there.
C: Mum! I'm home!
M: In the kitchen, Clark.
J: Be carefull with what you say or I will use it - he showed Martha the little kryptonite stone and then he keep it. Clark went in to the kitchen - Hi Clark! How are you? Too long without seeing you!
C: James! Nice to meet you again! Mum said that you were very bussy to come.
J: Well, I was, but I missed your mother a lot. - He turned round to Martha and obligue her to kiss him.
C: Mum, are you ok? - her eyes were wet and her face a bit sceared.
M: I'm fine son - she tried to smile - Everything's ok.

The three had dinner together. Martha couldn't stop thinking that he knew all about her son. Clark didn't imagine anything what was happening there.

The next morning somebody knocked the door too early. Martha woke up and went to open the door. She had slept with the man with who she was married. Waiting at the door, it was Lionel.
M: Lionel?! What are you doing here? You... you should rest!
L: I know, but I missed you this night and I thought it would be a good idea to...
At that moment James came down strairs.
J: Hi! Who are you?
M: This is Lionel Luthor, James, the friend I've came to visit. Lionel this is James, my... - she was worried about the situation.
L: Your husband. - he got upset.
M: Sure.
J: Nice to meet you, Lionel. - James gave his hand to Lionel but he didn't accept it.
L: Keep your self from being kind with me - he was so serius.
J: Martha, go to the kitchen and preppear my breakfast, please.- he said looking at Lionel eyes.
Martha didn't want to leave them alone.
L: You needn't obey him, Martha, I'm here with you.
J: I know what you are trying, but she's MY wife, so keep away from her. - said to Lionel.
Lionel didn't say anything and punched him. James's nose was bleeding.
J: What fuck...?!
Martha went towards Lionel.
M: Lionel, please, leave now. - she was almost crying.
L: No. He hurts you, I will kill him!
M: No, no... please. Trust me, the best you can do is leave now.
L: I will not leave you alone with him.
M: Lionel, he knows!
She needn't say what he knew, with her worried look Lionel inmediatly understood what was the situation. He left and Martha went to the kitchen to preppear the breakfast. James went to the bathroom to clean the wound.

After have breakfast, Clark left the farm because he was meeting Chloe in the Talon. Martha was washing up the dishes when James went into the kitchen.
J: Are you going to tell me what kind of relation you have with him or I will have to ask it to you?
M: I have who with?
J: With that Lionel Luthor.
M: We are just friends.
J: Don't lie me!
M: I'm not lying you.
He went towards her and pushed her to the floor. She screamed.

Clark arrived to the Talon and sat with Chloe. But he had just said Hello when Lionel enter with a hurry and went to their table.
L: Clark, where's your mother?
C: At home, with James, why?
L: Are they alone?
C: Sure.
L: Crap! I have to leave.
C: Wait, wait, wait!! What's going on?
L: She isn't save with him!
C: But he's her husband - he smiled thinking that Lionel was just jelouse.
L: No. He batters her!
C: What? No, he doesn't.
L: He does. I've seen the wounds.
Clark disappeared. Lionel went to his limousine.
Chloe: Hey, wait me! - shouted Chloe, who wents with Lionel.

In the farm...
James had his belt on his hand. Martha's back was as full of blood that was impossible to see the wounds, it was all red. She was crying, her lips were also bleeding, and when he felt she had twisted one's ankle, so she couldn't run.
J: Bitch! You come here and at the first chance you have you fuck with another man! You would have to thanks me that I don't kill you!
M: I'm sorry... please... stop it!...
He was going to hit her again when Clark appears and took the belt.
C: You're going to regret about what you've done to my mum!
M: No! Clark, he...!
But before she could finish the sentence James took out the cryptonite and Clark felt on the floor.
M: Keep away from him! - she tried to stood up, but her back hurts her a lot, and her ankle didn't let her to rise.
J: Shut up! That's too sad, because I never wanted to arrived to this situation...
C: You're a son of bitch!
J: I said, Shut up!
Then he saw a limousine parking in front the house, and Lionel Luthor and a girl going out from it.
He tied Martha's hand to a cupboard handle and then he went to the door..
J: Lionel Luthor! That was your name, dosn't it?
L: Where's Martha!?
J: She isn't here.
Lionel punched him again while Chloe wents inside.
L: If you had hurt her again I will kill you, trust me.
Then they listened Chloe exlaimed...
C: Oh my god! Mrs Kent!
Lionel went in too, but before he punched James on his stomach.
L: Martha!
While Chloe helped Clark keeping away the piece of kryptonite, Lionel untied Martha... she break down and started to cry so hard...
M: Oh, Lionel...!
She hugged him and they kissed. Then he helped her to get up and to sit down on a chair.
Suddenly they listened the alarm of a police car and an ambulance.
C: I rang them while we were coming here.
M: Where's he? - asked while she rised herself to watch throw the window... he saw how the police catched him.
L: Now all's finished Martha...
Clark went towards her mother and hugged her.
C: I'm sorry mum, I didn't imagined that...
M: I't fine Clark...
C: Why you didn't tell me nothing?
M: I was embarassed for the situation.. and then I started to be sceared from him...
L: It's already finished, and now we will take care of you.
He kissed her, and Martha put her head on Lionel's shoulder letting him hug her.
Seeing that they weren't usefull there, Clark and Chloe left them alone.
M: Thank you for all, Lionel.
