Who took the chisel?

[MidgardDragon]

I apologize if this thread has already been made, I didn't see one when I began posting.

Who took the Chisel? Personally, I think it was Martian Manhunter, but it also could've been Lex.

We were missing a seen from the Director's Cut where Clark found the chisel in his barn. Without that scene, however, it also could've been Clark.

[k18]

I think Clark because of the cut scene from the DC.

Yep

[Scareafobia]

I say Lex because they took out that scene that was in the DC from the actual episode, I think they changed it.

[redraven]

I was thinking Clark but as soon as I saw MM on the choices I voted for him...because it seems more likely that it's him w/out the director's cut

[myankskent]

I don't understand why they would cut that scene out. Hopefully, they will follow up on it in a later episode.

[emsfan]

I think Clark!

[PurpleKryptonite]

Lex..he was sitting right there watching her sleep..he did seem like he was looking for answers when he went and talked to clark..

[Mik-El231984]

i think it was lex.....ever since that incident with linda lake and her kissing clark in the barn you have to believe that he's keeping her under close watch. and what he said at the end is not true....he doesn't trust anyone and especially not lana.

[coasterprincess]

normally I'd go with lex...but since clark saw her with it in the pic...and happened to be in the area....

[Ardiem3]

I voted Lex and I think it was Lex because he was in the room with her and she saw it was missing after he ahd left. Why would it be the MM? Does the MM even know where Lex lives, or which room is Lanas? No. And how could it be Clark, he didnt know where Lana was stashing it and Clark stealing it really wouldnt matter seeing as how Lana already has looked at it like 50 times. Lex did seem to bring up the barn incident and seemed kind of casual at the end too like he knows more then Clark thinks he does. BTW, which scenes of Lex and Clark were cut from the dreictors cut? Just wondering because i didnt catch the directors cut.

[Raging Clue]

I really like the idea of it being MM. I voted for him just because that would be really interesting.

[Man of Steels45x]

if anyone saw this weeks directors cut episode it shows at the end that clark opens his tool box and sees the busted chisel wrapped around lana's red scarf and then he averts his eyes and leaves and u see the chisel straightened

[Deana]

I'm voting for Clark, but MM make a interesting culprit.

Veeery true.
But the fact that it wasn't included in the episode definitely leaves the speculation as to whether the script was changed or whether Clark really does truly have it and they're saving that for a future episode.

Since they left out the director's cut, I'm really leaning towards Lex. I don't think Clark would have time to go snooping around in Lana's drawers when he was really more concerned about her safety with psycho security man. Lex, however, has more reason for access, plus he was staring at her creepily as she was sleeping and walked out with a smug look on his face.

I now think it's Lex, but I'd really like it if it were Clark!

It would be MM because he has been watching and protecting Clark for at least a few episodes now, maybe all his life according to some spoilers. It would be Clark because he knew she had it and wanted to steal it back to avoid having Lex get it. It's not like it would take Clark more than .5 seconds to search the mansion for it and he was already there saving Lana anyways.

how did you see the director's cut?

I voted Clark because besides it being damaging evidence it was one of his dad's tool

[Creed0831]

If the DC scene was left in I'd say Clark considering when he finds it in that scene it doesn't actually look surprised seeing it there, just like he was getting it from where he last left it. However it is such an important scene to take out that they must have changed it. However I did have a tough time choosing between Clark and Lex before I saw the DC cut scene.

[Charissa70]

where do you get to see the director's cut?

I would think it was clark anyway, because of Lana having the chisel in the pictures, and you kind of figure, Clark would kind of super speed to her room and grab it before leaving the mansion for good.

[Creed0831]

The missing DC scene is on the CW website.

[Man of Steels45x]

niki u have a very good point i think ur actually right

[rooting 4 clark]

Clark took it, unless it was someone else and that's why they cut the scene from the director's cut.

[Saber]

Chloe because it is the last person I would think of.

[Man of Steels45x]

the directors cut can be found at www.cwtv.com then go to video where u can either stay in the first column and watch the weeks episode trailer or scroll to directos cut from the top of the list and then from the directors cut page u can scroll down to smallville and watch a clip of the weeks episode

[alienkinfolk]

Oh ...thanks,i'll check it out

[warriorrenegade]

Clark took it. Why? They have to leave it for Lana to ask about it. I doubt shes gonna let it slide, not after all thats happend and all shes seen. So basically the ball is in Clarks court. He can deny or tell her.

[smallvillewolf17]

I think is was Clark because in the director's cut where Clark found the chisel. He didn't look surprised to find it. I think he put it there.

[christian_kryptonian]

Lex took it. I'm tellin ya man. He acts like he's not, but he's still curious abou Clark. That stuff abou him being over investigations...BULL!!

[xrayvision]

Clark was at the mansion when he saved Lana & could have sped in and gotten it. But I think that look on Lana's face was done specifically to imply danger. I know the director's cut had that scene with the chisel, and I'm guessing they took it out since they changed their plans.

I believe that Lex told Clark he's not mystified by him as Lana still is as a lie and that the investigation is back on. And if this is true, do you know what this means? It means that Lex has it and placed it in the Clark Room. I hope that is where they're going with this. It is a MUST that they have Lana find that room.

[I_am_LEX]

Is anyone thinking, Lionel? I mean, he wasn't in the episode, but that doesn't mean he isn't responsible for taking it. I suppose Clark could have taken it when he went and saved Lana from the fall. I'm thinking Lionel though... but maybe we'll find out down the road for sure. I'm surprised there aren't some other things being talked about though...

[clana_never_give_up]

It was Clark if you watch the directors Cut on the CW. It shows Clark with the chisel.

Here's wher it is if you want to see it.

http://www.cwtv.com/video

Just click on directors Cut and then the second Smallville and you'll see him with it. They must of cut it outm it's right after Lex tells Clark to RSVP.

[xrayvision]

I watched the DC, but it showed Clark finding it in the barn wrapped in that red cloth. After watching that 2 days ago, I thought that Lana in the episode would have trespassed in the barn/loft on screen and left it there.

But I think they took that scene out since they want to change the story now. I think they will make it be Lex who took it. I doubt Clark would have taken the red cloth also (just the chisel).

[cygnusx1]

perhaps she could check the tape from the security system to see who has been going through her drawers

[SmallMB512]

I think Clark took it. He saw the picture that Chloe showed him (the one that the dirtbag stalker took and sent to Lana), and saw where she was when she was looking at it (wrapped in the cloth on the dresser) so it wouldn't have been too hard for him to figure out where she was hiding it. He also got a talking to about trusting Lana when Chloe pointed out to him that she risked her life by not letting Lex in on this (she hid it from Lex, had him close the window while she stashed it), and Clark is always concerned with her safety. With the fact that he showed up right at the exact instant that she was about to hit the floor to catch her, and the bent chisel, etc, he knows that SHE knows something, so he is not overly concerned with her seeing stuff now. If he takes it, that takes the whole "Lex finding it" scenario out of the picture. Lana has already seen it so she has no more need for it, and if she doesn't have it anymore, it can't endanger her.. It had to be Clark. TPTB deleted the scene likely for use possibly in the next episode.. (maybe Lana looking in the drawer like at the end of this episode, maybe start the next episode that way, and then flash to Clark. etc). Had to be Clark, only one that makes sense...

[moe2death]

definitly pete took it

[nyczwillz]

I believe, its most likely MM. It couldn't had been Lex because he probably wouldn't make the two trips and Clark couldn't have taken it because in the DC it states " Someone leaves Clark evidence", so thats out of the picture. Its either MM or Chloe I guess. It might be Clark and that would be CW's grammar error? But Lex? Nah, no way, it would put him way to close to the secret.

[cloisinmyheart]

what are you all talking about? did you guys not see that scene?

when the episode aired in my area, the last 2 minutes showed clark with the chisel (straightening it and such)

[Davlok]

I think it depends on the station if or how much of the "director's cut" scenes are aired...

but I personally thought just from the dialog alone that Clark came back to the mansion to retrieve the tool - not really to save Lana.

Lana - "Why are you still watching over me?"
Clark - "Maybe for the same reason you've been watching me"

reason = tool

[elway]

Lex always has a way of holding on to something like that till he has all the facts and motives why Lana would have taken that and whats going on

[xrayvision]

Originally posted by cloisinmyheart

Are you kidding? I didn't think they show different versions of the same episode. Are you sure it was the chisel he was straightening and wasn't the beam or whatever it was that he was smoothing out with the sandpaper?

[silverstreak]

i also think clark took it.

[j-kent]

i'm gonna bypass my logic here this time and just go with my intuition...CLARK!

[xrayvision]

Originally posted by Davlok

If this is true, then what version do they put on the DVD? The only episode I know was like that was the Pilot. I know that the Pilot-Metamorphosis Canadian DVD movie (which I got) has that scene where Lex asks Clark "Kid are you OK" with Clark collapsing right after he saves Lex from the car accident. But I didn't think that certain stations cut scenes from episodes since then.

[Evuka]

Even though the director's cut that shows Clark removing the chisel from its hiding place and straightening it was cut from the episode, I still think that it was Clark that retrieved it. He was forewarned by Cloe and the picture from the phone. He would have had plenty of time after saving Lana to x-ray her room to find it quickly. If you hadn't seen the director's cut, it would be natural to assume "evil" Lex had found it. Somehow I think that the plot line is better if Lana is suspicious that Lex took it. It will make her not trust him if she thinks he took it after saying that he trusts her. I would bet that they only cut that part for time constraints. Why else would it be in Clark's tool box?

[xrayvision]

Was it in his toolbox at the end of the episode? I have to re-watch that.

I know the director's cut had it, but I learned from how much Vessel was changed to not rely on having deleted scenes from the director's cut to explain stuff like this.

[All about Clark]

My first impression in the show was Chloe. She was free and had the opportunity and Clark was busy with Jimmy/bad guys/Lana. But if I had to chose a second guess I would go with Clark. Chloe would invade Lana's bedroom before Clark would, plus all that time she had opportunity, she knew the mansion was emptied and that Clark went to Jimmy. I still say Chloe.

[elway]

Yep It's Clark. I didn't see the DC of it till now. Maybe their saving it for the big reveal to Lana. CK will bring it out and then start the explanation.

[griffyn612]

yeah, now its a cliffhanger type thing.

and then they can use that scene later on, or revamp the plot.

only thing about reusing the scene is that they are gonna somehow have to rework into the script a time which he would be wearing a blue shirt with a red coat. that make take a bit.

[jeffct87]

I say even without the directors cut scene it was clark. He knew about it. Chloe could of told him it was in Lanas underwear drawer. Everyone keeps their underwear in their top drawer. His superspeed and the fact that all the security was gone. After catching lana and her falling asleep. He was there with her asleep just like lex.
Her waking up in the middle of him opening a drawer, he can super speed out of there. Lex would be risking all of her trust. I know he's evil but openly risking the wedding, that's not him. He's mostly marrying her out of hate for clark anyways.
Clark wanted it back to lower lanas curiousity. Though, the way she looked, looked like she was thinking lex took it.

[RedPhoenix23]

Its obvious that Clark took it if you've seen the directors cut. I kinda wish that it wasn't in the directors cut because it would have been a cool thing for Lex have taken it after his talk about trusting Lana, lol. Lana clearly looked like she thought he may have taken it.

[InLove_with_Chloe]

Lex, of course.
That's why he told Lana that he 'trusts' her....
Well, he doesn't.

[Mr.Magic]

I'd say Clark took the chisel. It's his after all, and he probably needs it to do some farmwork. :p

[LoisL]

I said Clark because I really don't want it to be Lex at this point in time. I think Lana needs to be given the "finding out Clark's secret" story arc for the season. I liked how Lex said "I understand the lure of unraveling the mystery of Clark Kent. I suffered from it too when I thought you actually mattered" tonight. I think this has been a great season for Lex to move onto his evil destiny on his own for awhile and then I think Season 7 is time for him to return to his Clark suspicions. Right now I feel that Lex has a bigger picture, post-Zod and Brainiac, to look at.

An heirloom in general is any old item or antique passed down from one generation to another.

But the thought of the DC being intentionally changed for content not just "time editing" had never occured to me before i read this thread. if that is the case, then I would guess Lex. Unless they just wanted to show that Lana was confused as to who had it, and chose to emphasize that by having us confused too.

[fitmis]

I think Clark still took the chisel as it was in the Director's Cut and I am sure the director finally said to himself that it would be more mysterious and make for better television if fans did not quite know who took the chisel.

[<<S>>]

I have a question.. Doesnt Lex tape everything that goes on in the mansion, in that room of his? If he does wouldnt it be easy to just rewind and watch that she is doing?

[Charissa70]

Lex supposedly stopped recording Lana's room, 'supposedly' because Lana said she would leave if her room continued to have cameras. In real life-come on, he would just hide them better.

On the directors cut on the CW, Clark did not look surprised when he opened the tool kit and the chisel (wrapped in the scarf) was in there). Kind of looked like he was waiting for the barn to be empty (didn't hear anyone) and went about straightening it.

[Ilovebeinglost]

well now that it was in Lana's drawer and it has disappered I think Lex. She was sleeping he could have taken it easy unless they have another security guy with loose screws in his head.

So the part I don't get is how did Lana end up with it in the first place?

I voted for MM, but you're right, Clark just matter-of-factly grabs the chisel and straightens it, like he was expecting it to be there. I guess it was him.

[thorshammer]

[Krypton935]

I'm thinking Lex. He never had any sense of personal boundries it would not suprise me at all if he saw lana cover something up when he closed the window then later went back to investigate.

[cantankerous]

If Lex took it, he will probably like, why one earth does Lana have a bent chisel in her drawer? And what in the world is Lex going to do with a bent chisel?

I mean I don't think he would know it's the same chisel that stabbed Clark as he didn't see it, right?

Lex wouldn't be the sharpest tool in the tool shed if he didn't know it was the one he stabbed Clark with. The Kent's tools are very old and outdated, and Lex knows that. Who's old, bent chisel would Lana be hiding in her drawer? If Lex took it, he would know, but I seriously doubt Lex took it.

[superspider02]

yea it sucks the director's cut part of clark finding it and fixing it was cut from the episode. I wonder why it was cut oh well.

I heard it was revamped big time. I heard that originally they had the story be a biological virus instead of a computer virus and that the majority of the episode was re-shot. I wish they would have released the original version of the episode on the season 5 DVD.

[Ania]

Clark - it was in the director's cut.



Lana - "Why are you still watching over me?"
Clark - "Maybe for the same reason you've been watching me"

reason = toolGreat point! I love it! :D

[All about Clark]

I've changed my mind, I thought it was Chloe but now I'm going with Clark, just because he mentioned his dad's chisel, and we know how he feels about his dad, he would retrieve it himself.

[TheSupaMan]

All about Clark, that's a good point which reminded me. The fact that it was his dad's probably made Clark want to get it back even more.

[Randy G.]

The chisel? Okay..... I've got it.
I plan on putting it up on eBay. ;) :lol:

[supermanover21]

I think it was Clark. Lex wasn't back, yet, was he?

[xrayvision]

Actually, he just visited Lana in her room before that and talked to Clark after Lana saw it was gone. The last scene was of him leaving the barn.

[SOTK]

[maryjanewatson]

i figured it was clark, and i thought that even before i was told there was a cut scene with clark and the chisle in the directors cut.

[Crusader]

I'd have to say lex, as he's always one to take things from people he cares about etc etc.
Also i can just picture him like in his study in a future episode unraveling that red cloth and looking at the chisel.

[Myrddin]

I think it was the stalker - he knew that she was interested in it - maybe he wanted to find out why.

Or it was Lionel.

[fitmis]

I am sorry...this has gone on long enough (smile)....the original Director's Cut...(which was not aired...but thousands of people saw...showed Clark "in a a very relaxed state" I must say....opening the leather bag.....bending the tool back into shape....not a big deal....and placing it calming on the table.

This thread seems like a waste of "learned good people's" time! (smile)

It was Clark who retrieved the Chisel....with his "super-speed". Chole told him Lana had it.

The only other thing....maybe...is that Martian Manhunter took it and returned it to Clark's barn....and Clark knew about it....because Clark is so calm about the whole thing in the Director's Cut.

[Hopefulsuicide]

its so weird, i totally just assumed it was lex and forgot that it could be anyone else

of course its clark lol, why didnt i think of it

The point I've been making is that it's possible that they left that scene off because they have something different planned. So if that's the case, that director's cut scene doesn't mean jack.

Just imagine if they had director's cuts during season 5 and they would have shown a good 4 minute video of Vessel before they massively changed the episode (I heard something like at least 50% or more of it was re-shot). Would those scenes in Vessel that never made it mean anything? Nope.

I know according to Steve DeKnight's blog, it was cut to fit the episode within the time limits. But now that it's been cut, they have the option to change their minds and re-shoot scenes in future episodes that have already been shot.

[clois_lover10]

I think it's Clark, which means he must know that Lana is close to finding out about him...

[deathwish2120]

it could have been lana, remeber with the stone in season 4, where she put it in that pipe outside, she could have done the same thing with the chisel

Yeah, but Lana knew where it was. She only acted surprised to fool Jason. There was no one else in the room, so for her to act surprised, she couldn't have taken it.

[deathwish2120]

you do make a good point clue, but you cant beat this argument, what if she just accidently dropped it and unleashing her inner blonde and cant find it, HAH! :(

Clark risked exposing his secret when he threw the photographer guy across the room in front of Lana. If you haven't noticed, Clark is very oblivious when it comes to keeping his powers on low key, (hence all the bad guys in previous seasons who've seen Clark use his powers and black mailed him). When Clark heard about the imposter stalker, he rushed to go save Lana-and to only save Lana, and he got there in the knack of time. I doubt he would be snopping around in her room trying to steal evidence because he wouldn'nt have asked Chloe about Lana and be worried that Lana is getting closer to his secret if he already took care of it by stealing back any evidence she has about him. Also, when he saved Lana and told her, "You're safe now, that's all the matters". **That really is all that matters to Clark. Clark loves Lana more than he loves himself. Sure he's kept his secret from her, but he would risk it all for her by using it or losing it.

Clark would never steal from Lana-with the exception of her necklace. Clark has stolen things from Lex before. The key, the stones, etc. But he only steals what's in front of him or what's out laying around. Like a finders keepers deal. He doesn't go finding, or looking for them though.

More reasons why I think Clark did not steal the chisel:

1. Clark isn't very smart. He wouldn't have taken/hidden the chisel even if it was in front of him.

2. Clark is pretty stupid, in general.

3. Clark probably forgot about the chisel, because his only concern is Lana, and also for the reasons above.

[Honey45]

I think it was obviously Clark.. there's no way in hell it could have been Lex, because then Lex would know that Clark has superpowers. And that can't happen.

I don't think they would have thrown Martian Manhunter in there and not explained it.

I doubt he would be snopping around in her room trying to steal evidence because he wouldn'nt have asked Chloe about Lana and be worried that Lana is getting closer to his secret if he already took care of it by stealing back any evidence she has about him. Also, when he saved Lana and told her, "You're safe now, that's all the matters". **That really is all that matters to Clark. Clark loves Lana more than he loves himself. Sure he's kept his secret from her, but he would risk it all for her by using it or losing it.

Clark would never steal from Lana-with the exception of her necklace. Clark has stolen things from Lex before. The key, the stones, etc. But he only steals what's in front of him or what's out laying around. Like a finders keepers deal. He doesn't go finding, or looking for them though.

More reasons why I think Clark did not steal the chisel:

1. Clark isn't very smart. He wouldn't have taken/hidden the chisel even if it was in front of him.

2. Clark is pretty stupid, in general.

3. Clark probably forgot about the chisel, because his only concern is Lana, and also for the reasons above.

How would Clark taking back what is his, stealing ?
Clark may not be the smartest of aliens at times, but he was smart enough to distance himself from Lex and Lana.

The chisel is far too important for him to leave there. For one, it bent while Lex stabbed Clark. Secondly, if it was Johnathan's tool, then it has a sentimental value to Clark.

If he saw it, he would have taken it. Even if he didn't see it, he probably went looking for it.

What I am saying is that it wouldn't be stealing to take something that was his, Lana Stole it if anything.

Yeah, I know what you were saying. There is no doubt that Lana stole it. It was Clark's tool and it was in the Kent's barn. Lana came back after all that happend and she stole it. Then on top of that, she started snooping around when Clark wasn't home.

Come on people...why would they POST THE DIRECTOR'S CUT...which willl be seen by thousands...maybe milliions....on the CW Website....showing Clark "re-bending" the Knife back into shape......cut it out of the scene and expect everyone to forget this....well this is VERY NEW for this type of Promotion.........

They would if they had a last minute change and decided to take a new turn in the story. This is nothing compared to what would have happened if they had these directors' cuts last year in season 5 for Vessel, which was drastically changed. If that were the case, we would have seen scenes that would have never made it to the final cut of the episode. I read posts about them having to re-film huge chunks of that episode about 1-2 weeks before it aired.

To me, Lex taking the chisel from Lana this season (if this is now the case) is analogous to Lex taking the vial of Clark's blood from Helen in season 2. It wouldn't surprise me if they created this parallel between 2 of Lex's marriages.

Clark took back his daddy's chisel man. It was a darn good one you know.
