Author: The House of El December 22, 2025 Duration: 1:08:11

JOHN SCHNEIDER DIRECTS — When a Kiwatche Indian (guest star Nathaniel Arcand, “The Lone Ranger”) steals a mythic knife from the caves, he is bestowed with superpowers similar to Clark’s, causing the young man to believe he is the legendary Naman, “the man who fell from the stars.” Clark learns the Kiwatche legend foretold of a knife that could kill Naman and sets out to reclaim it before the young Indian can use it on Lionel John Glover.

PETE IS TORTURED BY A CROOKED FBI AGENT - Clark decides to tell Lana his secret so they can finally be together. Meanwhile, an errant FBI agent (guest star Gary Hudson) kidnaps and tortures Pete to try and force him to reveal Clark's secret. Also, Lex panics after the FBI gives him 24 hours to turn over information on his father or face jail time, but help arrives from an unexpected source.

Derek and Tucker discuss two of the final episodes of season 3 of Smallville.
