PART TWO
INT. LEX'S OFFICE - DAY
Lex shoots the red number 6 ball into a corner pocket of the pool table with clean accuracy. Bad Clark walks into the game room like he owns the place. Lex looks up and smiles.
LEX: Clark, what brings you here today?
BAD CLARK: Just wanted to know how my good, honest friend Lex was doing.
Lex looks at him suspiciously.
LEX: I am doing as well as can be considering -
BAD CLARK: Considering what?
Lex lies the pool stick down.
LEX: Oh, it's nothing I can't handle.
BAD CLARK: So how is Dr. Walden doing? Is he still unconscious?
LEX: Yes, he is. And from what I hear he won't ever come out of it.
BAD CLARK: Sucks to be him.
Bad Clark LET'S OUT A LAUGH. Lex walks towards his desk, stands in front of it, facing Bad Clark.
LEX: And you find this amusing because?
BAD CLARK: It's just that it serves him right for getting involved with things that don't concern him.
Lex is stunned by Bad Clark's comment. His suspicion grows.
LEX: You know a lot more than you're letting on, Clark. As a matter of fact, I think you know what the symbols in that cave mean.
BAD CLARK: (mocking) You mean those alien symbols?
Lex ignores the comment.
LEX: Why don't you just tell me?
Bad Clark steps closer to Lex.
BAD CLARK: I don't have to tell you anything. I think you should just stay out of it.
LEX: You know I can't do that.
BAD CLARK: Then I'll do it for you.
Bad Clark grabs Lex by his shirt and begins lifting him in the air.
LEX: Don't even think about threatening me, Clark. Now is not the time.
BAD CLARK: Time is of the essence, and you are wasting mine.
With one arm, Bad Clark throws Lex across the room.
BAD CLARK (cont'd): Back off, Lex. I don't want to have to talk about this again.
Bad Clark walks out of the room. Lex gets up.
LEX: Well, this day has certainly been full of surprises.
INT. THE TORCH - DAY
Good Clark walks into the Torch. He KNOCKS on the side of the door as he enters.
GOOD CLARK: Chloe, I need to talk to you.
He sees Chloe keeled over on the couch. He rushes to her side.
GOOD CLARK (cont'd): Chloe!
He shakes her a little.
GOOD CLARK (cont'd): Chloe, wake up.
Her eyes slowly open. The color has returned to her face. Good Clark looks at her with a worried expression.
CHLOE: Clark? What are you doing here?
GOOD CLARK: Are you okay? I found you here, passed out on the couch. What happened?
Chloe rises up and looks around as if she didn't realize where she was. She looks at Good Clark, half embarrassed, half puzzled.
CHLOE: I don't know. I remember getting out of my car, walking in, and the next thing I know you're waking me up.
She puts her hand on her head, looking dazed.
CHLOE (cont'd): I must've fallen asleep. I had no idea I was so tired.
GOOD CLARK: You have been working pretty hard, I mean, with school and the Torch, and with whatever else is going on in your life.
She throws him a nasty look, then gets up from the couch, walking over to her computer. She sits down and shakes her head.
CHLOE: Anyway, what do you need?
GOOD CLARK: Are you sure you're okay? If you're not up to it, I can come back another time.
CHLOE: No, Clark, I'm fine.
She looks at him curiously.
GOOD CLARK: I wanted to know if you knew what Lana had to ask me that was so important. I would have asked her myself but when I went by the Talon, she was busy with customers.
CHLOE: (obviously shocked) What are you talking about, Clark? When you came in, she and I were the only ones there.
GOOD CLARK: I just came from the place and there were a lot of people there. And you weren't one of them.
CHLOE: I don't know what's going on with you, Clark. It had just finished storming when you came in. You and Lana looked like you had something important to talk about, so I left.
GOOD CLARK: That's strange. (beat) Chloe, I have to go. Thanks. I'll talk to you later.
He walks out of the door.
CHLOE: But, Clark...
She goes to the door and looks out. Good Clark is nowhere in sight.
CHLOE (cont'd): The mystery that is Clark Kent.
INT. THE LUTHOR CORRIDOR - DAY
LIONEL LUTHOR is walking down the corridor, heading towards Lex's office. As he passes the kitchen, he peers in and eyes a small box lying on the table. He continues to walk, but his curiosity gets the better of him. He turns and walks into the kitchen. He picks up the box and opens it. Inside he finds a key to the mansion. He realizes who the key is for.
LIONEL: (quietly) So naïve, Lex my boy. So naïve...and careless.
Lionel closes the box, places it into his pocket, and walks out of the kitchen. We see that instead of heading towards Lex's office as before, he turns and walks in the direction from which he came.
EXT. THE KENT'S BARN - DAY
Jonathan is pullling out on a tractor when Good Clark shows up. He walks in front of the tractor, making Jonathan stop. Jonathan turns it off.
JONATHAN: What is it, Clark?
GOOD CLARK: Dad, we have a problem.
JONATHAN: What's wrong, son?
GOOD CLARK: I think there might be someone impersonating me.
Jonathan climbs down from the tractor.
JONATHAN: Someone's impersonating you? How is that even possible?
GOOD CLARK: I don't know, but Chloe said that she saw me at the Talon as the storm was letting up. But I was here at that time.
JONATHAN: Why would someone be impersonating you?
GOOD CLARK: I'm not sure. But there has to be a reasonable explanation. I think.
JONATHAN: Maybe it's Tina? She did it once, you know.
GOOD CLARK: I saw her die with my own eyes. It couldn't be her again.
JONATHAN: If not her, then who?
Good Clark just stares at him.
INT. CLARK'S ROOM - DAY
Bad Clark is about to leave when Pete walks in.
BAD CLARK: Pete!
PETE: So did you see Lana?
BAD CLARK: Yeah, I saw her.
PETE: What did she have to tell you?
Bad Clark smiles at Pete, then begins to walk out of his room, with Pete following close behind.
CUT TO:
INT. THE KENT'S KITCHEN - MOMENTS LATER
Martha is preparing dinner. Clark, followed by Pete, walks in.
MARTHA: There's a fresh pitcher of lemonade in the fridge if you boys want some.
PETE: No thanks, Mrs. Kent.
MARTHA: Clark, did you finish the chores I asked you to do?
BAD CLARK: What are you talking about?
MARTHA: Oh, Clark, don't tell me you forgot. I knew I should have made you do them before you went to see Lana.
BAD CLARK: Lana is more important than doing stupid chores around the farm.
MARTHA: Clark!
BAD CLARK: I need some action. I'm out of here.
MARTHA: You're not going anywhere until you finish your chores.
He gets into Martha's face.
BAD CLARK: Screw the chores.
He walks out of the kitchen door. Pete follows right behind him.
Martha is hurt.
CUT TO:
EXT. THE KENT'S BARN - CONTINUOUS
Bad Clark walks past the barn with Pete following close behind.
PETE: Clark, wait up!
Bad Clark ignores Pete and continues to walk. Pete jogs until he finally catches up.
PETE (cont'd): What's wrong with you?
Jonathan and Good Clark come from the side of the barn. They almost collide into Bad Clark and Pete.
PETE: Oh, wow!
Both Clarks GASP in shock. They stare at each other with baffled looks on their faces.
JONATHAN: Unbelievable.
Martha comes running to the front of the barn.
MARTHA: Jonathan, there's something wrong with --
She stops when she sees the two Clarks.
MARTHA (cont'd): -- Clark.
BAD CLARK: Don't look so surprised, Clark.
GOOD CLARK: Who are you?
BAD CLARK: Who do you think?
Good Clark stands there, speechless.
BAD CLARK: (sighs) I'm you, genius! I'm a stronger, more handsome you...but still you. I'm the side you're afraid to show.
GOOD CLARK: (almost to himself) That's not possible.
Bad Clark puts a hand on Good Clark's shoulder and smiles.
BAD CLARK: Well, as touching as this little gathering is, I really do need to get going.
Bad Clark begins to walk off, but Good Clark blocks his way.
GOOD CLARK: I can't let you do that.
BAD CLARK: Clark, Clark, Clark! You're just gonna have to face it.
He punches Good Clark in the chest, sending him flying throught he wall of the barn. The others look on in shock.
BAD CLARK (cont'd): You're not the most powerful being in Smallville anymore. Well, I guess technically you are, since I am you.
JONATHAN: Martha, get into the house. Pete and I will take care of this.
Martha tries to protest, but Jonathan stops her.
JONATHAN (cont'd): Go. Now!
Martha runs away from the barn and towards the house.
BAD CLARK: And what do you think you're gonna do, old man?
Bad Clark PICKS JONATHAN UP as Good Clark runs out of the barn.
GOOD CLARK: Put him down!
BAD CLARK: Gladly.
Bad Clark throws Jonathan into Pete. They both fly back a few feet, landing in mud. Good Clark runs with super speed into Bad Clark. They both go toppling over. Bad Clark pushes Good Clark off of him, sending him soaring back ten feet. Good Clark gets up, rushes over to Bad Clark who is just getting up, and kicks him in the stomach. Bad Clark flies into the gate, destroying it. He immediately gets up, smiling.
BAD CLARK (cont'd): Now this is more like it.
A GOLDEN GLOW enters his eyes as he delivers his HEAT BLAST towards Good Clark. Good Clark returns his own blast from his eyes. The heat blasts collie with each other, one not being stronger than the other. As both Clarks stand there, throwing heat blasts at each other, Pete takes a lead box out of his jacket pocket. Jonathan looks at him.
JONATHAN: (whispering) What are you going to do?
PETE: I'm guessing that if that Clark has our Clark's power, then green kryptonite should have the same effect on him.
JONATHAN: I hope your logic's right.
PETE: Yeah! Me too.
Both Clarks have stopped with the heat blasts and have begun throwing punches at each other. The farm is being destroyed as one Clark CRASHES into one thing and the other CRASHES into something else. Both Pete and Jonathan stand up.
JONATHAN: How do you know which is the real Clark?
PETE: I remember what the fake Clark was wearing.
Pete runs up to the Bad Clark who is getting up off the ground. He opens up the lead box, revealing the glowing green kryptonite. Green ripples through Bad Clarks veins. He falls to the ground in a weak state. Pete smiles. He turns to face Jonathan.
PETE (cont'd): I was right.
GOOD CLARK (O.S.): Pete, stop!
Pete looks over at Good Clark who too is lying weakly on the ground. Confusion fills Pete's face, but he keeps the box open. Jonathan runs up to Pete and closes the box. Pete slips it back into his jacket pocket. Good Clark gets up and walks up to Bad Clark. They both hit each other. Pete notices pieces of red and green kryptonite fall to the ground. Jonathan notices Bad Clark's eyes FLASH GREEN. Bad Clark hits Pete, who flies into the barn wall. He is knocked unconscious. He grabs Good Clark and tosses him several feet away. He looks down and eyes the red meteor rock, picks it up, and sneaks it into his pocket.
BAD CLARK: This has been very fun, but I really do need to get going.
He walks up to Jonathan, pushing him to the ground and runs away with super speed. Good Clark gets up and walks over to Jonathan, who gets right up.
GOOD CLARK: Dad?
JONATHAN: Go after him, Clark. I'm fine and I'll see after Pete. You have to stop him before he causes any more damage.
Without hesitation, Good Clark takes off with super speed.
