Airdate: May 8, 2008
A puzzle is solved, and another mystery is revealed in this pre-finale episode of Smallville. The opposing destinies of Clark Kent and Lex Luthor prepare to collide with the discoveries of more clues and puzzles.
At the mansion, Lex hires an expert in antiquities to find out how the cryptograph works. After the man leaves the house, someone breaks in knocks Lex unconscious. The mystery man carves a series of symbols on Lex’s chest - the diamond and cross intersecting. Lex recognized the man as the manager from Zurich, and he realizes that someone else is after the cryptograph.
Jimmy took pictures of Lex’s wounds and shows them to Chloe, and in turn she shows this to Clark. Clark deciphers the symbols to mean “traveler”, “savior” and “sanctuary”. There is only who group who consider the traveler their savior - Veritas, leading Clark to deduce that a Veritas member must still be alive. Using the Isis technology, Chloe’s search for the patron saint of traveler lead them to St.Christopher’s Cathedral in Montreal.
According to the antiquity expert, the cryptograph carries the mark of a German watchmaker who went into seclusion after an unknown patron commissioned him to make a magnificent clock. The clock later resurfaced again when Dr. Schwann posthumously donated it to St. Christopher’s. The gears on the cryptograph were a match to sketches of the clock.
Clark goes to the cathedral and sees Kryptonian symbols on the baptismal. A hooded monk appears from behind - Edward Teague, the last surviving member of Veritas. He bows to Clark and begins to revere him as the new savior of mankind.
