00:00Do you think that I could get some?
00:03Shakey, shakey
00:04Maybe it's a little thing
00:06Sticky, sticky
00:07You might like to pull it in bone flavor
00:09I got to do you till the next song saves you
00:12Can I get a little zip zip?
00:14Lucky, lucky
00:14Can I get a little um-um?
00:16Lucky, lucky
00:17And what you say
00:18It doesn't matter anyway
00:19You won't do another
00:21Cause you're getting with me
00:22She got a power
00:23On the hoochie
00:25I got a beer for the flavor of the coochie
00:27Sasha, say something presidential
00:30Well, boy, we slow down
00:34The election hasn't even started yet
00:36What do you think Sasha's chances are?
00:41Well, she knows most about student government
00:43She's worked her way up
00:44She's on a ton of committees
00:46But she's more of a worker than a leader
00:48How about Paul?
00:52Well, he's certainly the most qualified
00:54But elections aren't about merit
00:55They're about popularity
00:56Which brings us to Felice
00:59Pet chili to imprisonment of the drama club
01:02That definitely gives her an edge
01:04Not to mention that she's also really hot
01:06Yeah, but her name rhymes with the French words for love
01:09Okay, glad to see you're not reaching for reasons to hate her
01:13I saw you taking Sasha's picture
01:20Why didn't you take in mine?
01:22That qualifies as buying
01:24For the record, I plan on running photos and bios of all the candidates
01:27Including you
01:28Fully
01:29Hey, Chloe
01:30What about the editorial?
01:33You can only endorse one candidate
01:34So, who's it gonna be?
01:35Who cares?
01:37No matter what she says
01:38People are gonna vote for me
01:39Never underestimate the need for the clinically ambitious to pad their resumes
01:43You want to avoid the pain and humiliation of losing?
01:49Drop her
01:50Oh, who cares?
01:53Oh, who cares?
01:55What about the evidence?
01:57Who cares?
01:58A story
01:59Who cares?
01:59I like
02:00A story
02:01Who cares?
02:01And I love
02:02Who cares?
02:02I know
02:03Who cares?
02:03I know
02:04Who cares?
02:04I know
02:05How good?
02:05What do you think?
02:06I know
02:06How good?
02:06I know
02:07I know
02:07How good?
02:07I know
02:08You're going to
02:08I don't know.
02:38I don't know.
03:08I don't know.
03:38I don't know.
04:08I don't know.
04:38I don't know.
04:41That's got to be my all-time worst nightmare.
04:44I get stung by one beer I'd swell up like a grapefruit with over a hundred.
04:47The question is, how'd they get into Paul's bathroom?
04:50Well, the Center for Environmental Protection is sending out a team from Metropolis to investigate.
04:54I guess that's really going to shake up our class election.
04:57Not really.
04:58I mean, Paul's name is still on the ballot.
05:00He wouldn't have to take office until the fall, so he could recover by then.
05:03Out of sight, out of mind.
05:05My colleague gets a few sympathy votes, but that's about it.
05:08Nice to see the softer side of tea.
05:09Seriously.
05:10Anyway, there's a new candidate on the horizon.
05:13Why, I think it's really going to make things interesting.
05:15Oh, yeah.
05:15Who's that?
05:21What have you done?
05:22I see a big future ahead of you in politics, Clark.
05:25You're straightforward.
05:26People like you.
05:27Uh-uh.
05:27No way.
05:28Definitely not.
05:28Clark, you've got the whole package.
05:30Looks, brains, and that whole farm boy charm.
05:34Did I mention the perks of power?
05:36You know, if it was such a great gig, why didn't you run?
05:38I know my strengths.
05:39I'm more the power behind the throne.
05:42The guy behind the guy.
05:44The one who makes it all happen.
05:45Pete Ross, the kingmaker.
05:47Exactly.
05:47All you got to do is show up, shake a couple of hands, give an election speech.
05:50It's easy.
05:51We wonder why our politicians aren't great leaders.
05:54Clark, Clark, Clark, Clark, Clark, Clark, Clark, Clark.
05:58Clark, Clark, Clark, Clark, Clark, Clark, Clark, Clark, Clark, Clark, Clark.
06:04We gon' get on down.
06:06We gon' get on down now.
06:09We gon' get on down.
06:10A bust.
06:11Pass me the laser.
06:15Let me wipe the wretched out clean.
06:19Pass me the laser beam.
06:23Let me wipe the devil no clean.
06:28you look like you could use some help no i'm fine hans i need you out on route 90 two miles east of
06:37the mansion a red mustang with engine trouble what are you doing calling my mechanic not that
06:44i don't appreciate your attempt at postmodern chivalry but i said i was fine dolce and gabbana
06:49end of vocabulary you've got metropolis written all over you it brings you to smallville you're
06:55the sheriff come to run me out of town did the attitude come with the couture or was it an
07:00accessory if you must know i'm thinking about moving here i'd ask you what it's like but you
07:05don't look like a local i've lived here since last fall first i couldn't wait to get out but now it's
07:12starting to grow on me well why the change the norman rockwell ambience seduce you appearance is
07:17deceptive nothing around here is what it seems i'm intrigued what do you mean all these questions
07:24this is beginning to sound like an interview
07:27who do you work for i don't know what you're talking about if i toss these into the woods you
07:38really are going to need a tow truck
07:39carrie castle i'm a staff reporter from the metropolis journal
07:45i don't grant interviews miss castle i spent the better part of my life taking back entrances to
07:52avoid people like you wait just listen i want to write an article about you
07:56that's your pitch their articles written about me all the time but you're either dismissed as a
08:03wild child playboy or the spoiled son of lionel luther you've gotten some good press in the
08:07inquisitor but the journal is not a tabloid it's well respected it could really help change your image
08:12what did you have in mind a cover profile on you and your work in smallville i promise it will
08:17be fair and accurate and will give you the legitimacy you need to get out from behind
08:21your father's shadow launching my career and conveniently your own
08:24i admire the effort miss castle but i have to decline
08:28you get points for style though
08:34i can't believe pete did this i know some men are born to greatness others are dragged into it
08:52kicking and screaming park what's going on why are you running you've never shown any interest in
08:57student government don't worry it's just a gag pete nominated me so you're going to take your name
09:02off the ballot yeah well good because this election is way too important to turn into a joke
09:06it's bad enough with felice i hear she's throwing a pre-election bash with a ban and catering
09:12she's trying to buy this election like one of her prada bags
09:17talk about tightly wound chloe not that i'm planning to but if i ran you think i'd have a shot
09:25yeah right after i'm elected head cheerleader
09:27clark kent for president
09:36don't worry i'm pulling my name out tomorrow
09:38oh i think this is a terrific idea
09:42you do
09:42yeah you're always saying that you don't get a chance to shine because football's off limits
09:47maybe this is your opportunity
09:48i just assumed you'd say no student government is such a public thing
09:51but it doesn't require you to use your gifts and it's a school activity you can make your own
09:56hey what's the matter son you don't look too happy about this
10:00hey hey
10:01it's just i've never put myself out there i've always tried to stay out of the spotlight
10:06well nobody's saying you have to run
10:08clark you can quit if you want
10:09but remember quitting's a very hard habit to break
10:12no pressure
10:15wow the place is um
10:28empty
10:29deserted
10:31vacant
10:32well i was searching for a euphemism to say that but
10:36yeah
10:37the beaner's been trying to put us out of business ever since we opened
10:40i have tried coupons price cuts even ads in the ledger
10:43so far nothing's worked
10:44at this rate we're gonna have to close the doors in a month
10:46have you spoken to lex
10:49he's an investor i'm sure he can help
10:51he's been uncharacteristically silent
10:53besides this is my battle to win or lose and i am determined to win
10:57speaking of which
11:00i hear you've got a battle of your own on your hands
11:02oh yeah the election i'm not really running
11:05that's too bad
11:07i think you'd make a great class president
11:09really
11:10yeah you're honest people trust you
11:13and you have this innate sense of justice
11:15i can see it on your face how upset you get every time you think somebody's being mistreated
11:19you see all that in me
11:21yes i do
11:23clark kent for president
11:32how'd you know i was running
11:34i found this on my windshield in town
11:38i have an overzealous campaign manager
11:40i didn't realize you have political aspirations
11:43i don't i just figured i could make a difference
11:45did you swing by for a campaign contribution
11:49actually i was wondering if you knew about the talent
11:54you mean the fact that it's been practically empty the last two weeks
11:56do you plan on helping lana out she's been trying everything
11:59she's doing an admirable job
12:01if the talent goes under
12:05clark i'm not going to subsidize the money losing operation the talent has to find its own feet
12:10we could at least stop by and show some solidarity
12:12see you're already working for your constituents
12:16you want some advice
12:19i think you need a better slogan
12:22everybody's used this one including me
12:26you ran for student office
12:29once
12:30but my aspirations weren't very noble
12:32did you win
12:33of course
12:35do you have any tips
12:38you don't need my method
12:40you'll win on your own terms
12:41competition's pretty stiff
12:44there's nothing wrong with a good fight
12:46just remember
12:46the man of tomorrow is forged by his battles today
12:49could i use that
12:53i mean the man of tomorrow
12:54for my slogan
12:55knock yourself out
12:58hey
13:01don't write yourself off yet
13:04it's only in your head to feel about
13:07look down
13:09thank you no problem
13:10clark kent man of tomorrow
13:15it's kind of presumptuous don't you think

13:19i had to change your heart
13:21man of tomorrow
13:23very catchy

13:31that sounds great
13:32you know where to find me
13:33bye lana
13:35bye
13:36you're running because of lana
13:38why am i not surprised
13:40i'm running because i think i can do a good job
13:42all right clark whatever
13:43hey you know pete has faith in me and so does lana
13:46it's interesting that you don't
13:47i just want to know what you stand for
13:49i stand for truth justice and other stuff
13:52okay well you want to be a little more specific like tell me where you stand on the issues
13:56what issues you want to talk about
13:57well for starters there's the plan to cut the arts budget there's the appalling nutritional value of the cafeteria meals the whole dress code debate oh yeah and not to mention the whole student privacy issues with the locker searches
14:06whoa slow down i just decided to run last night
14:08okay well i think the man of tomorrow needs to get a platform for today
14:12okay there's a girls volleyball game this afternoon
14:20i figure you can make an appearance
14:21put the jock vote
14:22keep friday night clear there's a band concert
14:25now i know they suck
14:26but you gotta be seen as a friend of the arts
14:28pete what about my platform
14:29who cares if people like you
14:30they'll vote for you
14:31but what am i gonna say in my speech
14:33i don't know i don't do speeches
14:34i do meet and greets
14:35i'll see you at lunch with the chaos the cafeteria
15:05who do they think they are
15:15not now i have work to do
15:33Oh, my God.
16:03Oy, any chance you could help us hang some posters?
16:09Pete's convinced he puts my name on enough wall space, I'm guaranteed to win.
16:12Besides needing to remain an impartial member of the Fourth Estate,
16:15I'm still working on my bee story.
16:17CEP found anything new?
16:18Just that the swarms didn't migrate from any of their usual places.
16:21But beekeepers from all over the state have found their hives empty.
16:24It's like the colony's just up and left.
16:27That's weird. Bees are notorious followers.
16:29They wouldn't desert their hive without good reason.
16:30My mom's addicted to Discovery Channel.
16:35So how goes the platform?
16:37I haven't started working on it yet.
16:38I've been so busy meeting new people, I even got invited to parties this weekend.
16:42I can't believe it only took one day for you to be compromised by the lure of popularity.
16:46Remind me to pull your funding after I'm elected.
16:49Speaking of which, where's the latest addition?
16:52No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not done proofing it yet.
16:55Clark, I really don't think you should be looking at it just yet. It's not even done.
16:57Come on, I've been correcting your common issues since your first laptop.
17:00Clark!
17:04You endorsed Paul?
17:05Clark, I had to be objective.
17:07Paul's still in the race, and he'll be back on his feet again by fall.
17:10It's great that you're all gung-ho and sloganing now,
17:12but the truth is the only reason you ran is because Pete suckered you into it.
17:16Paul has a clear stance on issues you have yet to articulate.
17:19It's nothing personal.
17:21I understand, Clark.
17:21Hey, guys.
17:36Taking a break from the campaign show?
17:38It's amazing how many people in our school I don't know.
17:40This is just a pit stop.
17:42Wanted to take advantage of your two-for-one deal.
17:43I figure that's the last step before I institute topless waitressing.
17:47Well, here's to hoping it fails miserably.
17:52It looks like you have some customers.
17:53They're only here because Whitney forced them.
17:55Yeah, I passed by the beanery.
17:57They're kind of busy.
17:58The owner stopped by earlier.
17:59He said that he was making it his mission to run this place into the ground.
18:03Then he had the nerve to tell me that it wasn't personal, just business.
18:07Why does everyone over 40 quote The Godfather?
18:09I don't know, but it's really annoying.
18:13So how's political life treating you?
18:15It's definitely a challenge.
18:17It shows you who your real friends are.
18:20How's your speech going?
18:21I haven't started writing it yet.
18:23Maybe I could help you with that.
18:25Come by tomorrow night.
18:25We can work on it.
18:26Really?
18:28That'd be great.
18:29You sure you have enough time?
18:31Look around.
18:31Unless Whitney can coerce the baseball team, I think I can squeeze you in.
18:37Glad to see business is booming.
18:40It's hard when even your regular customers blow you off.
18:43I haven't been blowing you off, Lana.
18:44I've had my eye on the situation.
18:46Waiting for me to fail?
18:48Most new ventures don't make it.
18:50You have to prepare yourself for that possibility.
18:52I thought you didn't like to lose.
18:53I don't, but it's not my fight.
18:56As an investor, you have to know when to cut your losses.
18:58So what do you suggest I do?
18:59The beanery has declared war.
19:00If you want to hold on to this place, you need to get creative.
19:03Be willing to get your hands dirty.
19:06Don't worry.
19:07I'm not suggesting anything illegal.
19:09To quote The Godfather, it's time to go to the mattresses.
19:13That movie should be banned from basic cable.
19:15Don't ask.
19:30Felice, can I talk to you a minute?
19:33You've got 55 seconds left.
19:35Go.
19:36I've made a decision.
19:38You're planning on dropping out.
19:39No, I've decided you need to drop out.
19:44Trust me.
19:45That's not going to happen.
19:47In case you haven't heard, I'm the frontrunner.
19:50That's because these drones wouldn't know a qualified candidate if they saw one.
19:54That's the problem with this place.
19:56It's like a hive with two queens.
19:59Well, if you knew anything about nature, you'd realize one always goes down.
20:02You know what?
20:04You're a freak.
20:08Okay, have it your way.
20:09But just remember, I did ask nicely.
20:17Gabby, you're the best part of my day.
20:19Thank you, Mr. Luther.
20:25You're not Gabby.
20:26She couldn't make it.
20:27I think now would be a good time for you to leave, Miss Castle.
20:30Do people always do what you say?
20:32Is that unusual?
20:33I thought you said you appreciated persistence.
20:37Besides, aren't I doing a good job?
20:41Lucky for you.
20:44It took a while to figure out what would tempt you.
20:47And then it hit me.
20:51It's not your picture on the cover of the journal so much as the word
20:55son outshines father in the caption.
20:58How am I doing?
21:00A little lower.
21:01Let me guess.
21:04Your editor promised you your own column if you land me.
21:07So you can imagine how appreciative I'd be.
21:10I think I can.
21:11Tell me, Lex, would you say my chances are above average or below?
21:15Like I said, I always appreciate persistence.
21:21You won't regret this.
21:23Not yet, Miss Castle.
21:26I paid for an hour.
21:27You won't regret it.
21:28You won't regret it.
21:28You won't regret it.
21:29You won't regret it.
21:29You won't regret it.
21:30You won't regret it.
21:30You won't regret it.
21:31You won't regret it.
21:32You won't regret it.
21:32You won't regret it.
21:33You won't regret it.
21:33You won't regret it.
21:34You won't regret it.
21:34You won't regret it.
21:35You won't regret it.
21:36You won't regret it.
21:36You won't regret it.
21:37You won't regret it.
21:38You won't regret it.
21:38You won't regret it.
21:39You won't regret it.
21:40You won't regret it.
21:41You won't regret it.
21:42You won't regret it.
21:43You won't regret it.
21:44You won't regret it.
21:45You won't regret it.
21:46Just kick him off.
21:47Yeah.
21:48Come on.
21:49Yeah.
21:50Yeah.
21:51Yeah.
21:52Yeah.
21:53Yeah.
21:54Yeah.
21:55Yeah.
21:56Yeah.
21:57Yeah.
21:58Yeah.
21:59Yeah.
22:00Yeah.
22:01I'm taking him off.
22:02Yeah.
22:03Police camera.
22:04What's the problem?
22:06Yeah.
22:07Yeah.
22:08Yeah.
22:11Yeah.
22:12I thought getting out there and meeting people would be the worst part.
22:29It's actually kind of fun.
22:31I'm glad you feel that way, because according to my latest lunchtime poll, you've got a
22:36shot.
22:38Hey.
22:40Hey.
22:42How's it going?
22:46Just answer no comment, that way she can't misquote you.
22:51Did you hear about Felice?
22:53Yeah, I was just at the medical center.
22:55She was stung way worse than Paul.
22:56She's in a coma.
22:59Two candidates attacked in a week.
23:02It's a pretty freaky coincidence.
23:04I think we've moved past coincidence.
23:06What do you think's going on?
23:07I don't know, but remember last year Sasha's accident, when she was stung by a whole hive
23:11of bees?
23:11You think because of that, she's somehow controlling them?
23:19It's a hearing.
23:20Yeah, by several leaps and bounds, but I'll look into it.
23:23In the meantime, watch your back.
23:25I just heard about Felice.
23:39Weird, huh?
23:41Sometimes things just happen for a reason.
23:43She didn't care about this election as much as me.
23:45She wasn't my favorite person, but no one deserves that.
23:49Well, the good news is you don't have to run anymore.
23:51Well, with Felice out of the picture, the best thing you can do is let me run things.
23:55What about democracy?
23:57Don't you believe people should have freedom of choice?
23:59Look, Clark, I really need this.
24:02My parents are riding me to win.
24:03They think if I don't win, I won't get into a good college.
24:06You have other activities.
24:07This is my thing.
24:08Why don't you just drop out?
24:09I'm sorry.
24:11I have my own reasons to see this through.
24:12You're making a mistake.
24:17That sounded like a threat.
24:21You wouldn't happen to know how those bees went up attacking Paul and Felice, would you?
24:25Are you accusing me of something, Clark?
24:27I just find it interesting that a swarm of bees would attack two candidates in this election.
24:32My thoughts are somebody's behind it.
24:34Hmm, good start.
24:51My trash bin has three drafts, and nothing I can come up with sounds presidential enough.
24:55Don't have to sound presidential.
24:56You just have to say what you believe.
24:57Once you answer that, the rest is easy.
24:59Yeah, well, I still got a lot of work to do then.
25:02Not as much as I have here.
25:04Lana, I know you're having a tough time, but I really think it's amazing what you've done with the place.
25:09This was just going to be the start.
25:11My dream was to restore the old theater completely.
25:14The projector, the screen, show old movies.
25:17Just not the Godfather.
25:20Come on, Clark, go back to the speech.
25:22You have to decide what you believe in.
25:25I believe in my friends and their dreams.
25:28What if their dreams come crashing down around them?
25:31Nothing's crashing down around you, Lana, not while I'm here.
25:34Thanks, Clark.
25:40Did you hear that?
25:44Yeah, it was coming from over there.
25:48In there.
25:51What is it?
25:51Come on.
26:02Come on.
26:02Come on.
26:02Come on.
26:02Come on.
26:02Come on.
26:04Come on.
26:04Come on.
26:05Come on.
26:06Come on.
26:06Come on.
26:06Come on.
26:06Come on.
26:08Come on.
26:08Come on.
26:09Come on.
26:09Come on.
26:10Come on.
26:10Come on.
26:11Come on.
26:11Come on.
26:12Come on.
26:13Come on.
26:13Come on.
26:14Come on.
26:14Come on.
26:15Come on.
26:15Come on.
26:16Come on.
26:16Come on.
26:17Come on.
26:17Come on.
26:18Come on.
26:18Come on.
26:19Come on.
26:19Come on.
26:20Come on.
26:20Come on.
26:21I don't know.
26:51I still can't believe you didn't get stung.
27:08I guess I have tough skin.
27:10The insurance forms are going to hurt worse than the stinger.
27:13But I'm fine, thanks to you.
27:16There's now.
27:18I had a really nice time tonight.
27:19Yeah, we should do this more often.
27:21You sure you're okay?
27:25Sorry you didn't get further on your speech.
27:27That's the least of my worries.
27:28Right now, I need to find Sasha.
27:30Do you think she has something to do with it?
27:31Yes.
27:32I just don't know how she's controlling the bees.
27:34You need to call Chloe.
27:36We're still not really talking.
27:37Can you believe she didn't endorse me?
27:40Well, if I were in her position,
27:41I probably would have done the same thing.
27:43She's just trying to be objective,
27:44and she endorsed the person who she thought was most qualified for the job.
27:47Yeah, but still...
27:48Clark, you said you believed in your friends.
27:51She only did what she thought was right.
27:53Chloe.
27:55I just wanted to take a look at you.
27:56No.
27:57I just wanted to talk about you.
27:57Yeah.
27:58I need to tell you what she thought was right.
27:58I don't know if she's just going to ask you.
27:59I don't know if she thinks that she was from her,
28:00but I'm sorry.
28:01I don't know if she doesn't ever have to.
28:02No.
28:02I don't know if she's such a big deal with it.
28:03Yeah.
28:03Yeah.
28:04I don't know if she's like,
28:04but she doesn't know if she's happy with it.
28:05I've got to look at you.
28:05Chloe.
28:23Lana told me about the Talon. Thanks for the call.
28:26Sorry.
28:27It's all right. I'm not mad.
28:29Chloe, uh...
28:32I don't hold it against you, the endorsement, I mean.
28:36Thanks. I could have warned you, though.
28:40I just don't like being in a fight with you.
28:42Yeah, it wasn't my favorite part, either.
28:47Everything has changed in my life in the last year.
28:50With my parents, with Lana.
28:54The only thing constant has been you.
28:57I'm glad for that, Chloe.
29:01Me too.
29:05This feels like honey.
29:11Yeah, that's what you usually find in a hive.
29:16Well, don't tell me Sasha did all this.
29:18No, her worker bees did.
29:21How is she controlling them?
29:22I think she's admitting something called the queen mandibular pheromone.
29:27She picked that up when she fell in the hive?
29:30She was stung over a thousand times.
29:32They were Africanized honeybees, and the doctors didn't hold out much hope because she was allergic.
29:37How do they account for the miracle recovery?
29:39They don't.
29:40And neither could I until I found out the accident happened in Schuster's Gorge.
29:44That's the deepest crater in town.
29:46Yeah, you do the meteorite math.
29:48The bees did something to her to make her their queen bee.
29:50Now all the bees in the state are taking their cue from her.
29:52And they're helping her make Smallville High her own personal hive.
29:55We'd better find her.
29:56If she doesn't like the way the vote goes, the school won't be a pretty sight.
29:58Neither will she.
29:59Bees are only loyal to a point.
30:01Once she loses control, her scent will change, and the bees will know.
30:04They won't be happy.
30:04I thought you wanted to meet somewhere private.
30:16Lately, this has been passing for that.
30:21Thanks for agreeing to see me.
30:22I just want to get a few more quotes.
30:25How's the article going?
30:27I think people are going to see you in a whole new light.
30:29Yes, I bet they will.
30:32I've had a chance to read the rough draft.
30:34Where'd you get that?
30:35I have my sources.
30:36It's hardly the flattering expose you promised.
30:39It's fair and accurate.
30:40It's a hatchet job.
30:41You twisted everything I said.
30:42My journalism professor says if you want to bring down Goliath, you better know his Achilles heel.
30:47Yours is your ego.
30:50I see they like to mix metaphors at East Tennyson Community College.
30:53Am I supposed to be scared because you ran a background check on me?
30:57I have nothing to hide.
30:58How much should my father pay you?
31:00You really are a paranoid.
31:02Why else would you sandbag me?
31:03Because I plan on making a name for myself as a hard-hitting journalist, and you're a very visible target.
31:12What's it going to take to make this article go away?
31:14Unlike your whore at the Inquisitor, I'm not for sale.
31:20Goodbye, Lex.
31:25Thanks for being my first.
31:26You, um, wanted to see me?
31:52I've decided to drop out of the election.
31:56I thought you should be the first to know.
31:59Good.
32:00I'm glad you finally made the right decision.
32:03The fact that those people were even considering voting for any of you guys just proves that this school needs a strong leader.
32:09Now they'll have one.
32:10You'll do anything to make sure that happens, including putting your opponents in the hospital.
32:14I see what this is.
32:20You haven't dropped out at all.
32:23I know you're behind the attacks.
32:25So?
32:26What are you going to do, Clark?
32:27Even if the police believe you, they can't stop me.
32:30No one can.
32:34Try me.
32:34That's what you want, isn't it?
32:37That's why you lured me here.
32:42What were you going to do, Clark?
32:54What are you doing?
32:56Teaching me that politics is all about sacrifice.
33:01Where are you sending them?
33:02You may be thick-skinned, but what about your mother?
33:32That's why I'm standing.
33:59Mom, you okay?
34:13Yeah, thanks.
34:14I've never seen bees attack like that.
34:18Where do you think they went?
34:29How'd you get here?
34:34What about your mom?
34:35My mom's fine.
34:37It's over, Sasha.
34:39No, it's not.
34:40I still have a speech to make.
34:41And just remember, if you try and stop me,
34:43I'll be in front of an auditorium full of people,
34:45and you know what I can do to them.
34:46You have to stop this.
34:47No election is worth hurting people.
34:49I have to win, Clark.
34:51My parents told me there are two kinds of people in this world,
34:53leaders and followers,
34:55and they expect for me to be a leader, and that...
34:57But you have to stop the bees.
35:04I didn't tell them to come back.
35:07Ow!
35:08What's happening?
35:10I'm not going to help me.
35:11I'm not going to help me.
35:13Stop it!
35:13I'm not going to help me!
35:27I'm not going to help you.
35:47I'm not going to help you.
35:49Let's get to the hospital.
36:19I can't believe Felice and Sasha both dropped out, and we still lost.
36:31Where did that go wrong?
36:32We ran a good campaign, Pete.
36:33We had fun, met some new people, and we have enough t-shirts to last a lifetime.
36:39Please tell me that's not for the torch.
36:41It's for Paul.
36:42Since he couldn't attend his own victory party himself, he asked me to take pictures for him.
36:47Chloe, you were right to endorse him.
36:49He was the more qualified candidate, and I got caught up on the whole popularity rush.
36:54Don't start gloating just because you got one.
36:56Well, my candidate may have won, but my friend lost.
36:59I'm really proud of you tonight, Clark.
37:01Why?
37:02Because you're exhibiting dignity in the face of defeat.
37:05It's the quality that all great leaders possess.
37:09Nice crowd.
37:14I think we'll be having more nights like this.
37:16Yeah, how can you be so sure?
37:18Let's just say I went to the mattresses.
37:21Check out page three of the ledger tomorrow.
37:25Can you give me a preview?
37:28Apparently, a rival coffee house has had several health department violations they've been trying to cover up.
37:34How'd you hear about that?
37:36Amanda told me.
37:37So Chloe had a reporter friend look into it.
37:39And sure enough, it's true.
37:42Very creative.
37:45I'm impressed.
37:54Hey, sorry about the election.
37:57My father said you learn more about yourself than lose.
38:00What did you learn?
38:02I'm not destined to be a politician.
38:05You need two different personalities.
38:07You don't need to be an elected official to change the world, Clark.
38:11Have you ever thought about getting into politics?
38:13Someday I'd like to be president.
38:15In that case, you can have your slogan back.
38:18It's okay.
38:19You can keep it.
38:28Miss Castle.
38:30Thank you for coming.
38:32I should probably know better.
38:34But I had to hear this.
38:36You won't mind if I record our conversation for both of our protection, of course?
38:40Feel free.
38:41If I only asked you here to congratulate you.
38:48Truth is, I'm impressed.
38:50Few people have caught me with my guard down.
38:53Let me guess, this is where you try and blackmail me into changing my story?
38:57But I wouldn't dream of blackmailing you or making you change a word.
39:01As my father says, it's when they stop talking about you that you should worry.
39:05Then I guess we're settled.
39:07On the other hand, it turns out there's an opening for managing editor at the journal.
39:11I work there.
39:16If there was an opening, I would know about it.
39:18We don't know the same people.
39:20You could run your fair and balanced article word for word if you like Miss Castle.
39:25Or you could show up to work tomorrow and walk into a corner office.
39:28The choice is yours.
39:30What's the catch?
39:31No catch.
39:32Well, maybe one.
39:34If someone ever tries to blackmail you, now you'll have something to hide.
39:40I don't know if you're better or worse than your father.
39:43What are you gonna tell him when he finds out you killed the article?
39:46Who says he's behind it?
39:48Please, Miss Castle.
39:49I've never insulted your intelligence.
39:51Don't insult mine.
39:55I'll tell him I got an offer I couldn't refuse.
40:19Packing up campaign headquarters?
40:22Yep, it's back to being just a barn.
40:24Sorry we couldn't talk more at the town, but it was packed.
40:26Oh, it looked better that way.
40:31I assumed that was a good thing.
40:33It is.
40:34It's just, I'm not sure I liked what I did.
40:36You know, playing dirty with the beanery.
40:38Maybe the mattress isn't for you.
40:40I felt I had to choose between doing the right thing and being successful.
40:43The weird part is, I kind of enjoyed being underhanded.
40:47Lana Lang, seduced by the dark side?
40:49Who would have thunk?
40:53Don't worry.
40:54We all get caught up.
40:56I get so caught up in the popularity thing, I almost forgot why I ran.
41:03Did you ever finish your speech?
41:06Yeah.
41:07Not that anyone will ever hear it.
41:09I could hear it.
41:11Yeah, when?
41:12Now.
41:15Right now?
41:16Yes, Clark.
41:19Speech!
41:20Speech!
41:21Speech!
41:22Speech!
41:23Speech!
41:24Speech!
41:25Speech!
41:26You and I got something but it's all and then it's nothing to me.
41:31Nobody thinks that a class president can make a difference.
41:32But I disagree.
41:33If we want to change the world, first we have to change ourselves.
41:34My father always says that we learn life lessons whether we win or lose.
41:35So I hope that my worthy running mates can work alongside me,
41:37may be one of my students in the class.
41:38Well, you got to move you, darling.
41:39I thought I lost you somewhere.
41:40But you were never really ever there at all.
41:44And how it's out there.
41:45Somehow here is God, yeah.
41:46My father always says that we learn life lessons whether we win or lose.
41:47So I hope that my worthy running mates can work alongside me, can be one of my students in the class.
41:51We got to move you down there
41:54I thought I lost you somewhere
41:56But you were never really ever there at all
42:02How it's out there
42:06How it's out there
42:08Somehow here is gone
42:21How it's out there
42:51How it's out there
