* You could be happy *

* But you weren't happy the day I *
* watched you go *
* It's too late to remind you*
* how we were *
* most of what I remember *

* out the door *
* You could be happy, I hope you are *
* You made me happier than I'd been by far *
* Somehow everything I own smells of you *

Season 06 Episode 16
And do you, lana lang,
take alexander luthor to be your husband
in the holy state of matrimony?
Do you promise to love him,comfort him,
honor, and keep him
in sickness and in health,
for richer, for poorer,
and forsaking all others,
as long as you both shall live?
I do.
Lex!
Oh, my god, lex!
Lex!
I saved you.
I loved him.
You don't mean that.
Lana!
No!
Wedding Day
Shouldn't you be at the luthor
mansion, arranging flowers?
Well, that's just it.
I am at the luthor mansion.
I just kind of need your help.
Where are you?
Downstairs in the wine cellar.
-Chloe?
-Clark?
Chloe?
Hurry.
I'm freezing in here.
The handle broke, chloe.
Hold on.
Thank you so much.
If you want a bottle of win
eat 11:00 in the morning,
go for a red.
I am so sorry.
Lana hid lex's wedding presentdown here,
and she asked me to go get it
and then the doorshut.
I better go.
That's it?
You filled yourdamsel-in-distress
quota for the day,
and you're justgonna walk away?
What am I supposed to do?
I guess I always just thought that
you would sweep inand save the day,
but you're not gonna do that,are you?
If lana didn't wantto marry lex, she wouldn'T.
Lana's not my hero, clark -- you are.
And this whole idea that you're
still hiding who you really are,
that you're giving up the one
person that you totally love --
-I'm protecting her.
-Good job.
She's marrying a monster
and trapping herselfinto a loveless life.
Oh, you thinkthis is easy for me?
I think it's easierthan getting hurt.
You don't hesitate to runinto a burning building
or jump in front of a bullet
because nothing can penetrate
that iron flesh of yours.
But the one time saving lana
means putting your hearton the line,
the man of steelis nowhere to be found.
Letting lana go is the hardest thing
I've ever had to do, chloe.
If you don't know that,then you don't
know meas well as I thought you did.
To JK
The love of my life,MK
How'd you know dad was the one?
How'd you know he felt the same way?
I think when you're young,
like you are,like we were
nothing is that simple.
I know this is a really hard dayfor you, clark.
I can't help but wonder
if all those thingsI told myself --
that knowing the truth about me
would be too muchfor lana to handle,
that if she knew my secret,she'd be in danger
What if I just made up all those excuses
'cause I was scared?
Then you'd be just like the rest of us.
What do you mean?
Your father and i almost didn't get married.
I broke it off after a year.
We had a horrible argument,
and I thought I'd never see him again.
You know, we came from such different worlds.
Our families,the paths we were on --
everything was stacked against us.
Then why'd you getback together?
Because I
I couldn't stop thinking about him.
What if I take that risk
and lana really is happy with lex?
All I can tell you, clark,is that,
if I hadn't taken that chance,
I would have lost everything
that's ever meant some thing to me.
Clark.
I can't let yougo through with this
not unless you know everything.
Clark, it's okay.
You don't have to explain.
-I owe it to you.
-No, you don't
owe me anything.
I'm the one who's been in denial.
I thought the love that I have
for lex would be enough.
But I can't keep turning my back
on the truth.
What are you saying?
I'm not going to marry lex.
Look, I don't have time to explain right now.
I'll meet you at the barn at 5:00.
You have to go.
I'll be there -- I promise.
Go.
Wedding Day
How'd you sleep?
Like a baby.
Me too.
But I don't know if I can wait.
How about we just run off and elope?
That would be a big waste of 400 game hens.
It's a big day.
It's okay to be nervous.
I know.
I just have a few loose ends I need to tie up.
In fact, I have to go and meet chloe
so I should get ready.
I'll see you at the church.
Busy day at the office?
I just had some papers to sign before the wedding.
Or could it be you're avoiding the fact
that you've got no one to be
with today and nothing to do?
Fine, dad.
You pegged me.
I'm a little nervous.
Do you remember,when you were just a little boy,
I'd bring you up here to the office?
I used to pretend it was all mine to control,
like I could just reach down
and move all the cars,
as if they were toys
pull all the strings and make
people do what I wanted.
But I guess it's all out of your control, isn't it?
I should hope I taught you better than that.
You know, dad, ever since I've been with lana,
I wake up wondering,
"is today gonna be the day
when she sees who I really am?"
What if she doesn't show?
I honestly don't know
what my life is without her.
What would you be willing to do
to make sure that lana is standing next to you
at the altarthis afternoon?
Anything.
Then she will be --I promise you.
It's my wedding day.
Whatever it is, it can wait.
Is something wrong?
I'll be right there.
Wedding Day
Dr.
Langston
is this about lana?
Is she okay?
Oh, that's a bit ambiguous
after what you've done to her.
In a few minutes,I'm gonna be exchanging rings
directly above where you're standing.
What was so urgent it couldn't wait?
Trust me, lex.
I wouldn't want anything
to come between youand your beautiful bride --
for instance,the truth about her condition.
For your sake, I hope
I'm not understanding you.
Consider it hazard payfor the dangerous --
not to mention unethical --
position you've put me infor months.
And today's the day you hold the most leverage.
Wire $2 million to this account,
or ms.
Lang will know everything.
I don't give into blackmail.
Oh, I think you will.
No man sinks as low as you have
if he isn't drivenby desperation.
Knowing what you've kept from her,
I wouldn't recommend putting her love tthe test.
I won't let youtake her away from me!
I'll be right there.
Is it time?
It was
Lana's not here,and no one
knows where she is.
Lana!
Wedding Day 7:09am
OTER SAVES STUDENT!
LOCAL GIRL SURVIVES TORNADO
How'd you sleep?
Like a baby.
Me too.
But I don't knowif I can wait.
How about we just run offand elope?
That would be a pretty big
wasteof 400 game hens.
It's a big day.
It's okay to be nervous.
I know.
I just have a few loose ends
that I need to tie up.
In fact, I have to go meetchloe,
so I should get ready.
I'll see youat the church.
THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY UNITING
Ms.
LanaLang AND Mr.
Alexander Luther
Aunt nell.
I can't tell you how long
I've been looking forwardto this day.
I'm so proud of you.
I wouldn't have missed
this dayfor anything.
I know***
Lana
this may be the most important
day of your life.
what's wrong?
It's just
If there were something
that youhad to put past
you to get on with your life
and you tried every way
thatwas fair and honest to do that
and nothing worked
is it really wrong to
bend the rules just once?
Well, what would put those doubts to rest?
The truth.
If you are going to promise
your heart to lex,
you cannot go to that
altarwith anything unresolved.
When it comes to protecting ourselves
we do what we have to do,lana.
Wedding Day 10:50am
Okay, so you have your final
dress fitting at 3:00,
the limo's picking you upat 3:30,
and you have wedding photos
outside the church
and naked-male jello wrestling at 5:00.
Lana?
Look at me.
You didn't sleep at all
last night, did you?
There's been a lot of pressure.
Since this is your big day,
I'll pretend
that I don't see right through that.
I think that's a great idea.
Okay.
What else can I do?
Well, if you don't mind,
I hid lex's wedding gift
in the wine cellar
so he wouldn't find it.
I guess "personal gofer" falls under
the umbrella of "maid of honor.
"
Oh, um,what does it look like?
Um, it is behind the
bollinger in the cooler.
It's a little blue box
with a white bow.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
Holy dom p�rignon.
Perfect.
Okay.
Come on, lana.
Pick up.
Pick up.
Pick up.
Pick up.
Pick up.
Shoot.
Shouldn't you be at the luthormansion,
arranging flowers?
That's just it.
I am at the mansion,
butI kind of need your help.
Where are you?
Downstairs in the wine cellar.
Chloe?
Clark?
Chloe?
Hurry.
I'm freezing in here.
The handle broke, chloe.
Hold on.
Thank you so much.
nextIf you want a bottle of
wineat 11:00 in the morning,
go for a red.
Yeah, I'm so, so sorry.
I-I know you'd rather be tied
to a boulder of kryptonite
than come down here for ground zero
of the luthor/lang wedding,
but I didn't have a choice.
It wasn't my fault.
Lana hid lex's wedding present down here,
and she asked meto come down and get it,
and then the door shut.
I better go.
Wait, that's it?
You filled your damsel-in-distress quota
for the day,
and you're just gonna walk away?
Chloe,what am I supposed to do?
I guess I just always figured
you'd sweep in
at the last minute ansave the day,
but you're not gonna do that,are you?
If lana didn't want to marry lex,
she wouldn'T.
Yeah, but lana's not my hero,
clark -- you are.
And this whole idea
that you haven't told her
who you really are,
that you're giving up the person
that you totally love --
- Because
- I'm protecting her.
Good job.
She's marrying a monster,
and she's gonna be trapped
in a loveless life.
You think this is easy for me?
I think it's easier than getting hurt.
Clark, you don't hesitate
to run into a burning building
or jump in front of a bullet
because nothing can penetrate
that iron flesh of yours.
But the one time saving lana
means putting your hear ton the line,
the man of steelis nowhere to be found.
Giving up lana is the hardest thing
I've everhad to do in my life.
If you don't know that,
you don't know me very well.
Wedding Day 1:35pm
Clark.
I cannot let you go through with this
not untilyou know everything.
Clark, it's okay.
You don't have to explain.
I owe it to you.
No, you don'towe me anything.
I'm the onewho's been in denial.
And I thought that the love that
I have for lex would be enough,
but I can't keep turning my back
on the truth.
What are you saying?
I'm not marrying lex.
Look, I don't have time
to explain right now.
I'll meet you at the barnat 5:00.
You have to go.
I'll be there --
I promise.
Go.
Ms.
Lang
Shouldn't yoube leaving for the church?
What's this?
Dear lex,I'm so sorry,
but I can't go through with this
This will destroy lex.
Mr.
Luthor, I'm sorry,
but this is none of your business.
Well,I'm making it my business.
I can't let you call off the wedding.
Things have changed,
and it wouldn't be fair to
lex to pretend like they haven'T.
You know clark's secret,don't you?
I've been watching you since
you started seeing my son,
and you've been getting
closer and closer
to finding out the shocking
truth about clark kent.
What a surpriseit must have been
to realize clark has kept up
the deception for so long,
right under your nose.
He was trying to protect me.
And he's not gonna let you
threaten me now.
You think clark's invincible.
It's not so.
Like every hero,
he hasan achilles' heel, a weakness.
I know what it is.
And I knowthat it could kill him.
No.
You could never hurt him.
Would you bet
clark's life on that?
I give you my word,ms.
Lang,
if you don't honor the promise
that you've made to my son
or I find out you've told anyone
about this conversation,
I will kill clark kent.
She didn'ttell you anything?
No, she just vanished.
She won't answer her cell.
Sorry, lex,I don't know what to say,
but I'm sure there's an
explanation for all this.
Father, did lana say anything to you,
anything that might have indicated
be patient, lex.
Give her a little more time.
Wedding-day jittersare to be expected.
She's not coming.
I've loved you since
the first moment I saw you.
Will you marry me?
It's too corny, huh?
Do you, alexander luthor,
take lana langto be your wife
in the holy state of matrimony?
Do you promise to love her,comfort her,
honor, and keep her,
in sickness and in health,
for richer, for poorer,
and forsaking all others,
as long as you bothshall live?
I do.
And do you, lana lang,
take alexander luthor to be your husband
in the holy state of matrimony?
Do you promise to love him,comfort him,
honor, and keep him,
in sickness and in health,
for richer, for poorer,
and forsaking all others,
as long as you bothshall live?
I do.
May I present to youmr.
And mrs.
Alexander luthor?
I never thought it was
possible to be this happy.
How did I ever turn out to be the man
who gets to spend
the rest of his life with you?
Okay.
I'll just get my thingsmrs.
Luthor.
I'll be right there.
I waited for you.
Clark.
What happened?
I'm -- I'm really sorry.
I, uh,
I didn't mean to hurt you
but I want to be with lex.
That's not true.
He got to you, didn't he?
No, please, just believe meand let it go.
Let it go?
Let it go?!Lana, I love you.
I love you.
Clark, don't.
Tell me what he did.
What did lex do?
You don't have to stay with him.
He didn't do anything.
I've made my decision.
I just want to be with him.
Why do you keep saying that?
Lana, we should be together.
I want this more than
I've ever wanted anything,
and I know that you do, too.
I've --I've had a change of heart.
You don't mean that.
Is this because of my secret?
Lana, I'll tell you.
I'm not like everyone else.
- I'm --
- no, clark, you --
- you have to go.
- No!
No
not untilyou look me in the eye
and you tell me
that you'd rather spend the rest
of your life with lex luthor
instead of me.
I'm sorry, clark.
I love lex.
Congratulations, son.
Thanks, dad.
And why do I get the feeling
that's not all you came to say?
Good to seethe euphoria
of your wedding day
hasn't temperedyour cynicism.
I guess old habits die hard.
And***,Aren't they?
Do you sit up at night,
practicing this stuff?
How could you be so stupid?
A grown manon his wedding day,
and you need me to come to the rescue again --
you are pathetic.
I don't knowwhat you're talking about.
Don't play the fool with me,lex.
There's a crypt down below
that has gottena little overcrowded.
- It was an accident.
- Of course it was.
You don't have the gutsto
plan a successful ***.
And if anyone should discover
that the fresh corpse downstairs
happens to be that
of your bride's physician,
they just might stumble onto
thetruth about lana's pregnancy.
She's made a desperate manof you, lex.
Okay.
You win.
Whatever you want,it's yours --
control of luthorcorp, 33.
1.
You don't have to worry,lex.
You'll know when it's time
for me to collect.
Thanks, dad.
Sorry.
I didn't mean to interrupt.
Mrs.
Luthor.
Welcome to the family.
