621 Prototype

Lex has been secretly trying to turn Wes Keenan, a military man who supposedly died fighting in Afghanistan, into a "super soldier" by injecting him with DNA pulled from the various meteor freaks he has captured. After a crooked senator threatens to expose his secret labs, Lex dispatches Wes to kill the senator, but Lois witnesses the attack and inadvertently becomes the super soldier's next target. Meanwhile, Clark tries to convince Lana to leave Lex.

Lois Lane Quotes:

Triple espresso mocha cappulatte -- my own invention, guaranteed to put the zip-a-dee back in your doo-dah.

Hey, Smallville. Love to hear about the cows and the corn, but I got a lead on a dirty Senator that needs to be hosed down. See you on the front page.

Wes? No way. He's career military. He's been decorated more than a Christmas tree. Even my dad loved him, and the General hates everybody.

Oh, you're just hoping to catch me in the shower again.

This isn't just another story, Clark -- not this time. Wes and I -- we were close. I know it was him.

I work at the Inquisitor -- you know, aliens, Bigfoot, Elvis. What do you think they said? As far as they're concerned, Wes Keenan died in action four months ago.

7. Clark swoops in and saves Lois then watches from the shadows as she cries over Wes' body.

[ Lois is running to find a way out. She runs toward a door that shuts before she can reach it. ]

Lois: Wes? You have to fight this. Don't let them do this to you again. You are not a murderer. Please. Wes.

[ As she speaks, we can see Lois from Wes' point of view as he stands in front of her, invisible. He reaches out his hand and puts it around her throat, choking her. She goes unconscious just as Clark arrives, catching her as she falls to the ground. ]

[ Clark looks around for Wes but sees nothing. Clark carries Lois and sets her down, then looks around the warehouse. He turns around and Wes punches him again, sending him flying. Clark gets up, dazed, and looks around again, finally spotting Wes up in the rafters. Wes jumps down at Clark with super speed, knife raised but Clark uses his heat vision to penetrate Wes' force field, sending him flying back across the warehouse, where he lands near Lois. Lois stirs awake and goes to Wes' side. ]

Lois: Wes.

Wes: System... damaged.

Wes: Turn protocol 38529532...

Lois: Wes.

Wes: ...38. Lois.

Lois: You're gonna be fine. Do you understand me? You're gonna be okay. I'm gonna go get help, all right?

Wes: No. Better this way. They'll never... stop trying... to control me.

Lois: You have to stay with me. Do you hear me?

Wes: Don't... let them do this... to anyone else. Okay?

Lois: Okay. I promise, but you just stay with me, okay? Don't leave me. Wes? No, no, no. No. Wes? Wes! Come on! Don't leave me!

Runner up
4. Clark and Martha insist that Lois stay on the farm with them. Lois and Clark hear a noise in the barn and Lois gets kidnapped right in front of Clark's eyes.

Clark: Lois, quit being stubborn. You're gonna stay here until we get this cleared up.

Lois: Thanks, but I can take care of myself.

Martha: Nobody's doubting that, but you'd be safer here at the farm.

Clark: It'll be like old times, like when you first got to Smallville.

Lois: Oh, you're just hoping to catch me in the shower again. I-I mean, um, thank you. I-I really appreciate it.

Martha: You're always welcome here, Lois. You're practically family.

Lois: Uh, well, since I'm being a burden, can I just ask one more favor?

Clark: What do you need?

Lois: Your mom's political influence. Look, do you think that you could use your connections to get a look at Wes' military jacket?

Martha: I thought you said that file was classified.

Lois: It is. I contacted the General, but, uh, he went all Cold War on me and said that I should drop it.

Clark: Well, he might have a point. Three men are already dead.

Lois: Which is why I have to get my hands on that file. It might explain why Wes is doing this.

Martha: Well, I've made a few friends in Washington. I don't know if they can help, but I'll see what I can do.

Lois: Thanks, Mrs. Kent.

[ Martha leaves the barn. ]

Clark: I know that look, and it's usually followed by you almost getting yourself killed.

Lois: This isn't just another story, Clark -- not this time. Wes and I -- we were close. I know it was him.

[ There is a sound in the corner of the barn. ]

Clark: Stay here.

[ Clark walks over to investigate but finds only a chair rocking. ]

Clark: Looks like it was just the wind.

[ Wes materializes from behind Clark. ]

Lois: Clark, watch out!

[ He punches Clark with incredible strength, sending him flying through the barn. He advances on Lois with a knife and looks ready to strike when Lois calls out to him. ]

Lois: Wes!

[ He stops immediately, looks at her strangely, then puts his arm around her neck and they both disappear as Clark looks on. ]

Third

5. Lois wakes up at Fort Ryan and tries to get through to Wes. We hear the story of their first kiss and he's himself again.

[ Lois wakes up in a warehouse and slowly gets to her feet. She looks around for a moment before being met by Wes. ]

Lois: Wes.

Wes: Designation incorrect. Call sign "Ares," prototype Mark IV.

Lois: You don't remember me, do you? It's Lois -- Lois Lane. My father is General Sam Lane. When I was a kid, he used to drag me around to all the bases that he was stationed at. One of them was Fort Addleson, where I met you. Do you remember how you got that scar? You used to tell everybody that you got it falling off your dirt bike. But that's not how it happened. We got into the General's whiskey. Then we broke into the storage warehouse. We were wrestling around, being stupid. And I kissed you... the first time I ever kissed anybody. And you smiled your crooked smile. And then you puked and passed out and cracked your head open on the floor. Never could handle your liquor, Wes.

Wes: Mission incomplete.

Lois: No.

Wes: Eliminate target.

Lois: Why did you bring me here? Think. Wes. This is Fort Addleson, okay? This is the warehouse. This is where I kissed you that night. Remember me!

[ Wes struggles against his conflicting emotions and his new programming. After a moment, his whole affect changes and he looks at Lois with a new sense of understanding. ]

[dancing in the rain]

No problem

[now.it.all.begins]

Do you know what the actor who played Wes has been up to lately?

[dancing in the rain]

He starred in Painkillers with Erica And he had that multi-episode stint on Supernatural.

[now.it.all.begins]

What's Painkillers?

[dancing in the rain]

A Sci-Fi Thriller that Erica filmed towards the beginning of the year We posted about it on the News thread It's set out to air in March of next year. If I remember correctly, she plays Tahmoh's character's wife. (Tahmoh is the actor who played Wes).

[now.it.all.begins]

Ohh okay. That sounds interesting

[dancing in the rain]

Yep.

[now.it.all.begins]

I've also been getting caught up on Reign and I noticed that he guest starred in an ep of that show back in April.

[dancing in the rain]

Oh that's pretty cool. He's definitely keeping busy and going around on as many shows as he can apparently so that's cool.

[now.it.all.begins]

He should tell Erica to do the same

[dancing in the rain]

Heh true but he doesn't have a full-time lead role in a series

[now.it.all.begins]

That's a fair point

[dancing in the rain]

We'd want her to rest up ... especially now knowing she's pregnant.
