1. Son of a gun!Copy !req
2. Don't use the upstairs bathroom. It's
backed up. I have to snake the pipes.Copy !req
3. - Where's the leftover pizza?
- Fridge, second shelf.Copy !req
4. Or you could nuke
the chili for dinner.Copy !req
5. Clark?Copy !req
6. Some clue you actually heard me.Copy !req
7. Upstairs bathroom off-limits
after nuclear chili dinner.Copy !req
8. Glad to see your hearing
hasn't changed.Copy !req
9. Clark, can I get
a hand out here, please?Copy !req
10. Son, would you—?Copy !req
11. - Sure.
- Thanks.Copy !req
12. Sure picked one heck of a day
to snap an exhaust hanger.Copy !req
13. I left the number of our hotel on
the nightstand. I think that's everything.Copy !req
14. That ought to do it.
I'm definitely raising your allowance.Copy !req
15. - if you need anything—
- Call.Copy !req
16. Mom, it's a couple of nights
in Metropolis. I'll be fine.Copy !req
17. I'm sure he'll be fine.
And soon, madame, so shall we be.Copy !req
18. I almost forgot. Sorry.Copy !req
19. Happy anniversary.Copy !req
20. Sweetheart, bye-bye.Copy !req
21. Clark, thanks for the card.Copy !req
22. Think fast!Copy !req
23. Good night, little one.Copy !req
24. Don't worry.Copy !req
25. Daddy's gonna get better.Copy !req
26. Hello?Copy !req
27. Is someone there?Copy !req
28. It's okay, honey. It's just thunder.Copy !req
29. Will!Copy !req
30. Earl? What are you doing here?Copy !req
31. I need to see Lionel Luthor.Copy !req
32. - I know he's here.
- Sorry, man, you know I can't let you in.Copy !req
33. They did something to me
at his plant in Smallville.Copy !req
34. See, that's the talk that got
yourself canned, all right?Copy !req
35. - if you've got a problem, get some help.
- I've tried. They can't do anything.Copy !req
36. It's getting worse.Copy !req
37. Please, let me in.Copy !req
38. Earl, don't make me call security,
all right?Copy !req
39. Just go home and dry off.Copy !req
40. What the hell?Copy !req
41. Earl?Copy !req
42. What the hell you doing, Earl?Copy !req
43. - if I don't get an answer, I'll die.
- No, we gotta get you to a doctor!Copy !req
44. Look, they can't do anything.
Nobody can.Copy !req
45. What will you do now that you're
officially home alone?Copy !req
46. I was thinking of having
a few people over.Copy !req
47. Do my ears deceive me or is Clark Kent
actually suggesting a party?Copy !req
48. Small gathering. You guys,
a few other people, maybe Lana.Copy !req
49. With or without her posable
action-figure boyfriend?Copy !req
50. Eight o'clock.Copy !req
51. - And remember, the keyword is "small."
- Small.Copy !req
52. So this is what you'd call
a small gathering, right?Copy !req
53. Do you even recognize
half these people?Copy !req
54. Watch the glass—Copy !req
55. Dude, I think I'm gonna hurl.Copy !req
56. Thanks.Copy !req
57. Pretty cool party!Copy !req
58. Lana. Thanks.Copy !req
59. It's kind of impromptu.Copy !req
60. Sometimes you just have to kick back
and blow off some steam.Copy !req
61. If I had 100 people trashing my house,
I'd be a little freaked out.Copy !req
62. After the first few dishes,
you get used to it.Copy !req
63. I don't think I'd be
brave enough to risk it.Copy !req
64. I don't know, Lana.
I bet you're braver than you think.Copy !req
65. You flying solo tonight?Copy !req
66. You mean, what am I doing here
without Whitney?Copy !req
67. I am capable of enjoying myself
without him.Copy !req
68. Fireworks!Copy !req
69. - You're full of surprises tonight, Clark.
- Tell me about it.Copy !req
70. Clark, man, how cool is this?Copy !req
71. Pete, why didn't you just call
the cops? It'd be easier.Copy !req
72. I can't claim credit.
It wasn't my idea.Copy !req
73. It was mine.Copy !req
74. Call it a party gift.
I hope you like it.Copy !req
75. - It's great, it's just—
- Forget the police. It's covered.Copy !req
76. This kind of party can make
or break a reputation.Copy !req
77. I wanted to make sure yours was a hit.Copy !req
78. - I hear you're taking a tour of my plant.
- It's a class field trip.Copy !req
79. - What'd you do wrong?
- It's that bad, huh?Copy !req
80. Sorry I took so long.
Someone overflowed the bathroom.Copy !req
81. I'm officially dead.Copy !req
82. There's no answer.Copy !req
83. He's fine, he's fine.
We have to trust him, Martha.Copy !req
84. - I do, but I still worry.
- I know.Copy !req
85. Metropolis...Copy !req
86. Do you—? Do you miss it?Copy !req
87. - Sometimes.
- Yeah.Copy !req
88. But I didn't move to Smallville
for action and glamour.Copy !req
89. I moved because a certain man
told me we'd never be rich...Copy !req
90. or travel the world,
but he'd always love me.Copy !req
91. How could I pass up
an offer like that?Copy !req
92. - Whitney, what are you doing here?
- Looking for you.Copy !req
93. Why didn't you tell me
you were coming here?Copy !req
94. It was kind of last-minute. I didn't
realize I needed your permission.Copy !req
95. Lana, can we talk outside?Copy !req
96. Oh, my gosh! Did—?Copy !req
97. Lana, what's going on?Copy !req
98. I told you when we got back together
that I needed some breathing room.Copy !req
99. So you sneak off to a party
without me?Copy !req
100. I didn't sneak. I walked.Copy !req
101. And why are you mad at me?Copy !req
102. Is it because it's Clark's party?Copy !req
103. I'm starting to get the feeling
that you don't trust me.Copy !req
104. Clark!Copy !req
105. You better get out here.Copy !req
106. Kent, get up here.Copy !req
107. - Got him!
- Earl.Copy !req
108. Back off, I know him.Copy !req
109. Earl, what are you doing here?Copy !req
110. I came to see your dad.
He's the only one I can trust.Copy !req
111. He's out of town.Copy !req
112. What's wrong with you?Copy !req
113. I'll call an ambulance.Copy !req
114. - This guy should be in a detox center.
- He's not on drugs, Chloe.Copy !req
115. Then why was he shaking like a junkie?Copy !req
116. Earl worked on the farm
for six seasons.Copy !req
117. I spent 12 hours a day
with the guy in the fields.Copy !req
118. He even tried to teach me how to play
guitar. He says it impresses women.Copy !req
119. We're all a sucker for a guy
with a six-string.Copy !req
120. How come I've never heard you play?Copy !req
121. I kept snapping the guitar strings.
I think Earl got sick of replacing them.Copy !req
122. Just because you spend time
with someone...Copy !req
123. doesn't mean you know
their darkest secrets.Copy !req
124. - He was like family.
- Then why'd he leave?Copy !req
125. He took a job at the LuthorCorp plant.Copy !req
126. It was full-time,
and the pay was better.Copy !req
127. - Where can we find Earl Jenkins?
- Exam Room 3, down the hall.Copy !req
128. Excuse me. I'm a friend of Earl's.
Is he in some kind of trouble?Copy !req
129. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
130. We need help in here!Copy !req
131. Earl!Copy !req
132. Hi. You're home early.Copy !req
133. We called six times last night,
spoke with six different people...Copy !req
134. none of whom knew who you were.Copy !req
135. It was supposed to be
an intimate occasion.Copy !req
136. - Clark, where have you been?
- The hospital.Copy !req
137. - That's it. I'm never leaving home again.
- Who got hurt?Copy !req
138. Nobody, but I found
Earl Jenkins hiding in the loft.Copy !req
139. He was looking for you, Dad.
He's all messed up.Copy !req
140. - What's the matter with Earl?
- I don't know. He's wanted for murder.Copy !req
141. Earl?Copy !req
142. What'd he say for himself?Copy !req
143. - I couldn't get close.
- How come, the police?Copy !req
144. No. Because when I got near him,
I got sick.Copy !req
145. It was weird.Copy !req
146. Every time I stood next to him,
it got worse. It's kind of like—Copy !req
147. Like what?Copy !req
148. It's kind of like the way I feel
around meteor fragments.Copy !req
149. What's wrong with him?Copy !req
150. Well, to be honest,
I haven't the faintest idea.Copy !req
151. It's amazing his body's been able
to survive the seizures this long.Copy !req
152. Take a look at the x-rays.Copy !req
153. It looks like mineral poisoning,
but it's not a mineral I've seen before.Copy !req
154. Is that why he's shaking so hard?Copy !req
155. Mineral fragments are embedded
under his skin.Copy !req
156. - His body is trying to push them out.
- How did they get there?Copy !req
157. He claims there was an explosion
at the LuthorCorp plant six months ago.Copy !req
158. - I didn't hear about that.
- That's because it didn't happen.Copy !req
159. I pulled the plant's safety records.
I checked with OSHA and the EPA.Copy !req
160. - Can I go in and talk to him by myself?
- Better hurry up.Copy !req
161. Metropolis P.D. will be here any minute
to transfer him back to the city.Copy !req
162. Thanks.Copy !req
163. - I wanna go with you.
- No.Copy !req
164. Listen, you said that you felt sick
when you got around him, right?Copy !req
165. I bet what he was exposed to
has to do with those meteor rocks.Copy !req
166. I don't want you passing out
around here.Copy !req
167. It'd bring us a whole other set
of problems.Copy !req
168. Jonathan.Copy !req
169. Am I glad to see you.Copy !req
170. Hey, look.Copy !req
171. Clark.
Can you hear me?Copy !req
172. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to—Copy !req
173. I'm fine. Don't worry about it.Copy !req
174. All right, Earl, what's going on?
I can't believe you'd wanna kill anybody.Copy !req
175. It was an accident.
I was trying to see Lionel Luthor.Copy !req
176. - Why?
- Find out what they used on Level 3.Copy !req
177. Earl, you're not making any sense.Copy !req
178. When I got that job
at the Smallville plant...Copy !req
179. I was assigned to clean Level 3.Copy !req
180. They were doing these
hush-hush crop experiments.Copy !req
181. A new kind of fertilizer supposed
to make corn grow twice as fast.Copy !req
182. There was something unstable
in that fertilizer.Copy !req
183. There was a huge explosion.
I was cleaning at the time.Copy !req
184. This stuff, it got under my skin.Copy !req
185. And the next thing I know...Copy !req
186. they shut it all down,
and I was transferred to Metropolis.Copy !req
187. Then two months ago,
the jitters started.Copy !req
188. - Did you see a doctor?
- I must have seen 50.Copy !req
189. But nobody could tell me
what was wrong.Copy !req
190. They needed to know
what I was exposed to.Copy !req
191. But when I went back to the plant,
they told me that Level 3 didn't exist.Copy !req
192. That it never had.Copy !req
193. I got to find out what they were using.
That's why I need your help.Copy !req
194. You gotta get me out of here.Copy !req
195. Earl, you're wanted for murder.Copy !req
196. You don't understand. I can't control it.
I'm running out of time.Copy !req
197. The jitters are getting worse.Copy !req
198. It's already cost me my job,
my marriage, my baby.Copy !req
199. I gotta get back into that plant,
or I'm gonna die.Copy !req
200. Help me.Copy !req
201. You get some rest, Earl.Copy !req
202. My baby.Copy !req
203. - Do you think he's telling the truth?
- I have no idea.Copy !req
204. I have a field trip to LuthorCorp today.
Maybe I could look around.Copy !req
205. I know you're worried, but Earl has
more trouble than he can handle.Copy !req
206. And I don't even know if he's in his right
mind. So please, don't do anything.Copy !req
207. Mommy, I don't wanna go to the doctor's.
They're gonna give me a shot.Copy !req
208. - They're not gonna give you a shot.
- That's what you said last time.Copy !req
209. Mommy!Copy !req
210. Hello, everybody, I'm Gabe Sullivan,
plant manager and proud father.Copy !req
211. - Hi, sweetheart.
- Hi, Dad.Copy !req
212. Welcome to LuthorCorp:
"Where we give a crap."Copy !req
213. Okay, somebody kill me now.Copy !req
214. Little fertilizer humor there.Copy !req
215. Before we go inside...Copy !req
216. I need you to remove all
your cell phones, pagers, jewelry.Copy !req
217. Anything that jangles, dangles or rings
has to go in these plastic trays.Copy !req
218. Any other questions?
Yes.Copy !req
219. I heard there was a third level
to the plant. Is that true?Copy !req
220. Yeah, yeah. That's where we do
the alien autopsies.Copy !req
221. - I think we'd better get started.
- Don't encourage him.Copy !req
222. This way, everybody.Copy !req
223. All right, people,
let's stay together.Copy !req
224. No. No. No!Copy !req
225. This can't be. This can't be.
This can't be.Copy !req
226. This can't be happening.Copy !req
227. Where is it?Copy !req
228. Where is it?Copy !req
229. Where's the elevator?Copy !req
230. Watch out for these babies.
260 degrees, they get hot.Copy !req
231. All right, stay together, please.Copy !req
232. This is it.
The plant's mission control.Copy !req
233. 100,000 tons of animal waste
to process here every year.Copy !req
234. Trust me.
The results can be pretty explosive.Copy !req
235. So if any of you had beans for lunch,
I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.Copy !req
236. Among his peers,
he's considered witty.Copy !req
237. Where's Clark?Copy !req
238. What the heck? Excuse me.Copy !req
239. Don't move!Copy !req
240. Take me to Level 3.Copy !req
241. - Dad.
- Now!Copy !req
242. When we send our kids
on a field trip...Copy !req
243. we'd like to believe
that they're gonna be safe.Copy !req
244. Lex Luthor!Copy !req
245. Let these two in, just these two.Copy !req
246. We'll check on
Derrick and Jeff for you.Copy !req
247. What's going on here?Copy !req
248. There's a lunatic inside demanding to
be taken to some place called Level 3.Copy !req
249. We've evacuated the plant,
but he's taken the students hostage.Copy !req
250. - Is anyone hurt?
- Not yet.Copy !req
251. - What's his name?
- Earl Jenkins.Copy !req
252. I know Earl Jenkins.
He used to work for us.Copy !req
253. Well, what's he doing in my plant?Copy !req
254. He claims that LuthorCorp is doing
some crop experiments...Copy !req
255. on some secret Level 3,
and that's what made him sick.Copy !req
256. He's convinced it's the only place
he can get a cure.Copy !req
257. We've got a serious problem
because there is no Level 3.Copy !req
258. Where's Clark?Copy !req
259. I swear, I don't know anything
about Level 3.Copy !req
260. - You're lying.
- He's not lying!Copy !req
261. I found these blueprints.
There is no Level 3.Copy !req
262. Every night, I go down to Level 2...Copy !req
263. follow the red pipes
down that long hallway...Copy !req
264. go to the door, I open it...Copy !req
265. and I take the elevator down
to Level 3!Copy !req
266. You're just like everybody else.Copy !req
267. Get over there and you sit down!Copy !req
268. Who's that?Copy !req
269. My father.Copy !req
270. - Mr. Luthor, we have a hostage situation.
- I was briefed on my way down.Copy !req
271. Lex!Copy !req
272. - How did you allow this to happen?
- I didn't allow—Copy !req
273. - Then how did this man get inside?
- I think—Copy !req
274. - You think? Why don't you know?
- Can we focus on what's important?Copy !req
275. - We've got innocent kids in there.
- This is Jonathan Kent.Copy !req
276. It's been a long time,
but I never forget a face.Copy !req
277. Kent's son is inside.
They know the gunman personally.Copy !req
278. What's your assessment
of this lunatic?Copy !req
279. He's sick, he's desperate...Copy !req
280. and he blames your plant
for his condition.Copy !req
281. This Level 3 nonsense...Copy !req
282. I've assured everyone there is
no Level 3. That is the truth, isn't it?Copy !req
283. Of course, it is.Copy !req
284. People's lives are at stake.
What will you do about it?Copy !req
285. I'm going to let SWAT
do their job.Copy !req
286. When he makes a mistake,
they'll move in.Copy !req
287. What about the kids?Copy !req
288. You need to get on the phone
and talk to him!Copy !req
289. Mrs. Kent, I understand how you feel.Copy !req
290. I want everyone to walk out
of there alive too.Copy !req
291. - But I do not negotiate with terrorists.
- He's not a terrorist!Copy !req
292. He's sick and he needs help!Copy !req
293. If you won't talk to him,
then Jonathan will!Copy !req
294. You're not the one he blames.Copy !req
295. Is he, Dad?Copy !req
296. Gabe, it's Luthor.Copy !req
297. Lionel Luthor.Copy !req
298. Speaker.Copy !req
299. Mr. Luthor.Copy !req
300. I've finally got your attention,
haven't I?Copy !req
301. Earl, why don't you come out?
We've got a lot to talk about.Copy !req
302. Just tell me what you were
using down on Level 3.Copy !req
303. You're sick, Earl.Copy !req
304. Let everyone go,
we'll get you help.Copy !req
305. - Clark!
- Are you okay?Copy !req
306. Oh, no.Copy !req
307. See what you made me do?
See what you made me—?Copy !req
308. See what you made me do?Copy !req
309. Way to go, Dad.
I see you haven't lost your touch.Copy !req
310. The methane gas valve just broke.
The whole place is gonna go up.Copy !req
311. - We need to do something.
- That's not a good idea.Copy !req
312. The man's nuts. He's not listening
to the cops, and that gas is gonna blow.Copy !req
313. - He's sick, but still strong.
- I don't want you to get hurt.Copy !req
314. I'm not putting my life
in that man's hands.Copy !req
315. The two of us can take him.
How about it, Clark?Copy !req
316. I can't.Copy !req
317. It's okay.Copy !req
318. Whitney.Copy !req
319. I trusted you. You told me you
were trying to help people.Copy !req
320. What are you doing?Copy !req
321. Get back!Copy !req
322. It's all your fault, Luthor.Copy !req
323. We've got shots fired,
one hostage down. Full alert.Copy !req
324. What was he thinking?Copy !req
325. He's a teenager who's been waiting
for someone to take the initiative.Copy !req
326. There's a hostage situation
and a potential bomb.Copy !req
327. - Somebody's gotta do something.
- You're right. I'm going in.Copy !req
328. Lex, don't be foolhardy.
This is no time for mock-heroics.Copy !req
329. You said this is my plant.
It's my call.Copy !req
330. I won't allow it, Lex.Copy !req
331. Don't ever do that again.Copy !req
332. Take your positions.Copy !req
333. Tell him Lex Luthor's coming
to see him.Copy !req
334. - I wouldn't advise that, sir.
- Make the call.Copy !req
335. Give me your vest.Copy !req
336. What kind of man sends his own kid
to do his dirty work?Copy !req
337. I'm not doing anybody's dirty work.
This is my plant.Copy !req
338. - How is he?
- He needs a doctor.Copy !req
339. What are we gonna do
about these kids, Earl?Copy !req
340. I never meant to hurt anybody.Copy !req
341. I tried talking to your father,
but he wouldn't listen to me.Copy !req
342. I know the feeling.Copy !req
343. Earl...Copy !req
344. you say that everybody's
been lying to you.Copy !req
345. I'm gonna tell you the truth.Copy !req
346. My father doesn't care about you.Copy !req
347. He doesn't care about anybody
in this room.Copy !req
348. Because if we all die,
his PR firm will spin it.Copy !req
349. His insurance company will pay,
and you will go down as the bad guy.Copy !req
350. I'm not the bad guy.
I'm just trying to get better.Copy !req
351. How are you gonna get better
by killing a bunch of kids?Copy !req
352. If you let everybody go,
I'll take you to Level 3.Copy !req
353. You stop lying.Copy !req
354. Let them go,
and I'll show you where it is.Copy !req
355. Earl, trust me. I'm a man of my word.Copy !req
356. Get out.Copy !req
357. Get out. Get out! Everybody, get out!Copy !req
358. - Do you really know where it is?
- Yeah, it's in his imagination.Copy !req
359. There is no Level 3, Clark.
Now, get out of here.Copy !req
360. Clark.Copy !req
361. Come on.
Come on, man, let's go!Copy !req
362. - Come on, keep moving!
- This way, kids. This way.Copy !req
363. The kids are coming out.Copy !req
364. - Oh, Jonathan!
- Come on. They'll come out over here.Copy !req
365. We need to bring down the fire doors.
The gas levels are too high.Copy !req
366. Your son will be sealed inside.
I'm sorry, sir.Copy !req
367. Do it.Copy !req
368. - Come on, man, we gotta go!
- Don't worry about me!Copy !req
369. - Pete.
- Whitney, did you see Clark?Copy !req
370. Hey, Pete.
Where's Clark?Copy !req
371. He's back inside, Mrs. Kent.
I tried to stop him. I'm sorry—Copy !req
372. You have to open the doors.Copy !req
373. They're safety locked and can't be

375. So is mine.Copy !req
376. We're running out of time.Copy !req

Now it's time for you to do yours.Copy !req
378. Earl, there is no Level 3.
It's all in your head.Copy !req
379. I should have never trusted you.
You Luthors are all the same.Copy !req
380. I found Level 3. They built a wall in front
of the elevator, but it's still here.Copy !req
381. - Stop playing with me!
- Get out of the building, Clark!Copy !req
382. Earl, it's here!
Don't you want to see it? I promise.Copy !req

384. Come on.Copy !req
385. Come on, come on!Copy !req
386. - Sir.
- Hold on.Copy !req
387. The gas pressure is beginning to drop.Copy !req
388. - How did that happen?
- I have no idea.Copy !req
389. Son of a bitch!
How do you explain that?Copy !req
390. I can't.Copy !req
391. Two buttons. Two levels.
I'm sorry, all right?Copy !req
392. I told you it was here.Copy !req
393. Where is it?Copy !req
394. Where is everything?
There used to be a—Copy !req
395. It was a field of corn
with sprayers all over it.Copy !req
396. And every night,
they'd spray this green mist on it.Copy !req
397. What have you done with it?Copy !req
398. What have you done with it?Copy !req
399. I don't know.Copy !req
400. They lied to me too, Earl.Copy !req
401. I had no idea this was here.Copy !req
402. Earl!Copy !req
403. Let's go back upstairs
and talk about this.Copy !req
404. It's all gone. How am I gonna get better
if I don't know what poisoned me?Copy !req
405. I didn't know about this place.
You gotta believe me.Copy !req
406. - I believe you, Lex.
- He's lying! He's just like his father!Copy !req
407. Clark!Copy !req
408. No! Oh, God!Copy !req
409. Clark!Copy !req
410. Get to the elevator!Copy !req
411. Clark, how did you pull us up?Copy !req
412. I don't know.Copy !req
413. Adrenaline, I guess.Copy !req
414. I've never been so happy
to see you in my life!Copy !req
415. - You lied to me.
- No. When?Copy !req
416. I said Level 3 wasn't on any plans.
It wasn't.Copy !req
417. - It's plausible deniability.
- What were you doing down there?Copy !req
418. It doesn't matter. It was a failure.
We closed the door and moved on.Copy !req
419. - You almost got me killed.
- No, you almost got yourself killed.Copy !req
420. It was your call, remember?Copy !req
421. - Mr. Luthor!
- I'll handle this.Copy !req
422. What can you tell us about Level 3?Copy !req
423. I think you're referring to a redundant
storage area at the base of the plant.Copy !req
424. Mr. Jenkins is a very sick man who
desperately needs medical attention.Copy !req
425. That's why my father
and I have pledged...Copy !req
426. to find Mr. Jenkins
the best medical care possible.Copy !req
427. He was a LuthorCorp employee.Copy !req
428. Here at LuthorCorp, we always put
family first. Isn't that right, Dad?Copy !req
429. Is it true the government is
going to shut you down?Copy !req
430. No more questions, please. My son
has been through quite an ordeal today.Copy !req
