1. Lana.
Copy !req
2. I was hoping that you were up.
Copy !req
3. Is everything alright?
Copy !req
4. It's about Jason.
Copy !req
5. I think I've made a horrible mistake.
Copy !req
6. Jason.
Copy !req
7. Lana, I'm not sure I'm the one you should
be talking to about this.
Copy !req
8. Actually, I think that you're exactly
who I should be talking to.
Copy !req
9. I've been thinking about it... the way we met,
the way he followed me here,
Copy !req
10. the way he got a job at my school.
Copy !req
11. I think that everything that Jason has
told me has been a lie.
Copy !req
12. I'm starting to wonder if there's another
reason he came to Smallville besides me.
Copy !req
13. - Like what?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
14. But he's really starting to scare me.
Copy !req
15. Don't worry, Lana.
Copy !req
16. - I'd never let anything happen to you.
- I know.
Copy !req
17. And it's made one thing very clear.
Copy !req
18. I never should have given up on us.
Copy !req
19. I can lie to myself as much as I want...
Copy !req
20. but I've always been in love with you.
Copy !req
21. I knew I couldn't trust you, Clark.
Copy !req
22. Jason, No!
Copy !req
23. Haven't you hurt her enough already?
Copy !req
24. Jason!
Copy !req
25. Clark can't protect you from me.
Copy !req
26. Nobody can.
Copy !req
27. Jason!
Copy !req
28. Someone call an ambulance!
Copy !req
29. Jason...
Jason, can you hear me?
Copy !req
30. Hey...
How's he doing?
Copy !req
31. The doctors don't know.
Copy !req
32. His heart's beating a mile-a-minute, and
they can't get his blood pressure down.
Copy !req
33. That's a little odd for someone who's
unconscious, isn't it?
Copy !req
34. They said he's in some sort of a "panic mode"...
Copy !req
35. Like he's having a severe nightmare.
Copy !req
36. What happened?
Copy !req
37. He came by the Talon to
pick me up for lunch, and...
Copy !req
38. I ran upstairs to grab a jacket.
Copy !req
39. And?
Copy !req
40. And I heard a crash...
that's it.
Copy !req
41. He's been perfectly healthy. But the doctors
say if they can't get his heart rate down...
Copy !req
42. that he could have a heart attack.
Copy !req
43. They must have some idea what caused this.
Copy !req
44. I wish I could help them.
Copy !req
45. But he was just studying all morning before
he came to the apartment.
Copy !req
46. The first time I saw him he was lying
on the Talon floor.
Copy !req
47. Well let us know if there's anything we
can do to help, O.K.?
Copy !req
48. They need his insurance card.
Copy !req
49. It's in my apartment. Could you guys go get
it for me? I don't want to leave his side.
Copy !req
50. - Yeah.
- O.K.
Copy !req
51. Clark, I don't mean to go "Dr. Phil" on you, but don't
you think you should admit they're in a relationship?
Copy !req
52. Come on Chloe, I'm past that.
Copy !req
53. Yeah, I should have known by that crippling stare
on your face since you walked into the apartment.
Copy !req
54. I just could have used some more time to
ease into it, you know?
Copy !req
55. Clark, you were in love with her.
That's not something you just "ease" out of.
Copy !req
56. It's just by the time that I found out,
they were already this... serious thing.
Copy !req
57. Yeah. But we all keep secrets for our own
reasons. I don't think I have to tell you that.
Copy !req
58. I don't think going through Jason's personal
things falls under your "snoop jurisdiction. "
Copy !req
59. I'll take my chances
with the jury on this one.
Copy !req
60. I think maybe if we back-track through
Jason's last couple of days, it might help.
Copy !req
61. Ooh. Jason had a meeting at LuthorCorp
this morning.
Copy !req
62. Why didn't Lana say something?
Copy !req
63. Maybe she didn't know.
Copy !req
64. - This place seems dead.
- Yeah. My dad used to work overtime on Saturdays.
Copy !req
65. This lot should be full by now.
Copy !req
66. Where do you think everybody is?
Copy !req
67. I don't know. But while you're talking to Lex,
I'm going to give myself a "Backstage Tour. "
Copy !req
68. Clark.
Copy !req
69. How the hell did you get in here?
Copy !req
70. Yeah, the gate was open.
Copy !req
71. Your security seems a little
"M.I.A." lately.
Copy !req
72. - That's obvious, but this is a restricted area.
- This will only take a second.
Copy !req
73. I need someone to escort a guest out.
Copy !req
74. Look Clark, I'm sorry but I just got in from
Metropolis, I've got a lot to do.
Copy !req
75. Just now.
Copy !req
76. I thought you had a meeting with
Jason this morning.
Copy !req
77. Not with me. He was meeting with the head
of my H.R. department.
Copy !req
78. You giving him a job?
Copy !req
79. Just some leads. I felt guilty for getting
Jason fired from the school.
Copy !req
80. He didn't even want Lana to know about it,
I'm surprised he told you.
Copy !req
81. He didn't.
Copy !req
82. Jason's lying unconscious at the hospital.
Some sort of neurological stress.
Copy !req
83. Do they know what happened?
Copy !req
84. No.
Copy !req
85. But your H.R. guy might have been the last
person to talk to him.
Copy !req
86. Look I'll track him down but Clark, there
could be a lot of reasons for Jason's condition.
Copy !req
87. There could also be a lot of reasons why this
place is deserted half-way through Saturday's shift.
Copy !req
88. I'll call in a specialist from Metropolis
to take a look at him.
Copy !req
89. Assure Lana that I'm doing everything
I can for him.
Copy !req
90. I've been waiting for you Chloe.
Copy !req
91. - Mom?
- You can't escape this, Chloe.
Copy !req
92. None of the women in our family
ever have.
Copy !req
93. No! No!
Copy !req
94. No, no!
Copy !req
95. Standby.
Copy !req
96. With all our safety precautions, how the
hell does a lab explode?
Copy !req
97. Well, when you're dealing with meteor rocks,
it's very difficult to predict how our chemicals will react.
Copy !req
98. Mr. Luthor, we're doing everything we can.
After the alarm sounded, we sealed the room.
Copy !req
99. All affected personnel have been quarrantined,
and we're trying to fix the damaged pipes.
Copy !req
100. - You mean the bacteria's still leaking out?
- Only in that room.
Copy !req
101. Once the situation is under control,
I want the project dismantled.
Copy !req
102. But, Mr. Luthor...
Copy !req
103. Your father negotiated this contract with
the military, we stand to make a lot
Copy !req
104. if we can ever market the compound.
Copy !req
105. And exactly what is the market for toxins that
evoke a person's worst nightmare
Copy !req
106. before they fall unconscious, Dr. Ford?
Copy !req
107. Think of the good. We could disable the
enemy without ever using violence,
Copy !req
108. - We have statistics to prove...
- Statistics aren't lying in those beds!
Copy !req
109. My employees are.
Copy !req
110. And I'm afraid they're not the only ones.
Copy !req
111. What do you mean?
Copy !req
112. Someone who was visiting the plant this morning
is in the hospital with the same symptoms.
Copy !req
113. - Is he contagious?
- Oh no sir, no sir.
Copy !req
114. The bacteria can't be transmitted from one
person to another, it has to be inhaled directly.
Copy !req
115. Then there's no reason to call the CDC (Center for
Disease Control) and panic the entire town.
Copy !req
116. Now where are we with the antidote?
Copy !req
117. This will clarify when it reaches 1000 degrees
Kelvin, and then we can test it.
Copy !req
118. What's the E.T.A. (Estimate Time
of Arrival)?
Copy !req
119. Another 5 hours.
Copy !req
120. 8 other people have just come down with the
condition that Jason and Chloe have.
Copy !req
121. The doctor's haven't found anything in common?
Copy !req
122. Didn't you say that Jason and Chloe were
both at LuthorCorp today?
Copy !req
123. Yeah but half the victims in the hospital weren't.
Copy !req
124. Whatever this is seems to strike completely
at random.
Copy !req
125. There's no way to tell who's going to be next.
Copy !req
126. Sounds contagious. In the air or the water?
Copy !req
127. Then maybe it will show up in some
environmental quality report.
Copy !req
128. - Lana.
- Come on in.
Copy !req
129. I'm sorry to show up like this, I
just didn't know where else to go.
Copy !req
130. Clark told us about Jason.
Has something happened?
Copy !req
131. One of the other infected people just died.
Copy !req
132. Lana, do the doctors have any idea at all
what's going on?
Copy !req
133. Just that a person's body can only sustain a level
of panic for so long before their heart gives out.
Copy !req
134. I can't just sit in that hospital any more, just...
just watching Chloe and Jason die.
Copy !req
135. I want to help.
Copy !req
136. I hope we didn't separate you from your flock.
Copy !req
137. I understand your cynicism, Warden Stone,
but I assure you I truly am a changed man.
Copy !req
138. Oh. Or just a smart one.
Copy !req
139. You know, ever since you proclaimed this sudden
conversion to our resident "St. Paul",
Copy !req
140. there hasn't been a single attempt on your life.
Copy !req
141. I want only to be of help to others.
Copy !req
142. What is the value of my sinful life, unless I use
it as an example to shepherd fellow sinners?
Copy !req
143. to lead the away from the allure of hedonism,
and mistrust and greed.
Copy !req
144. To follow a better way.
Copy !req
145. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
146. Well I'm afraid you're going to have to
change congregations.
Copy !req
147. What do you mean?
Copy !req
148. The appellate court overturned your conviction.
Copy !req
149. Overturned?
Copy !req
150. My appeal doesn't come up for months.
It's not possible.
Copy !req
151. You'd be surprised what's possible
in this judicial system.
Copy !req
152. I've done everything to work the system.
I hired the best lawyers in the world, I tried
Copy !req
153. to pay off everyone from the baliff to the
President of the United States,
Copy !req
154. and I was told, categorically, I was never
going to see life outside these walls again.
Copy !req
155. You do not want to be telling me things
of this nature.
Copy !req
156. Yes, I do.
I'm guilty.
Copy !req
157. Not of the crime I've been imprisoned for, but...
Copy !req
158. so many other crimes, which should
have landed me in here years ago.
Copy !req
159. This is where I belong.
Copy !req
160. It's where I can do the most good.
Copy !req
161. You... you want to stay in prison?
Copy !req
162. Yes...
I do. I've found my...
Copy !req
163. my mission in life.
Copy !req
164. Contrary to your deluded point-of-view,
Copy !req
165. this is not the Ritz Carlton, where you can
check in and check out at your leisure.
Copy !req
166. Somebody did you a favor by getting you
out of this place. I'd say be grateful.
Copy !req
167. But who? Who could do that?
Copy !req
168. Obviously someone more powerful than you.
Copy !req
169. As soon as this paperwork is finished...
you're a free man.
Copy !req
170. We know that Jason was in town by 9 o'clock.
Copy !req
171. According to the hourly satellite images,
we had clear skies all morning.
Copy !req
172. Hourly? Can we get it a bit more
specific than that?
Copy !req
173. I'll try.
Copy !req
174. I just don't understand why Jason wouldn't
tell me that he had a meeting at Luthorcorp.
Copy !req
175. It might have been a blow to his pride.
Accepting Lex's offer.
Copy !req
176. Well maybe that's what all of this
has been about.
Copy !req
177. I've been getting this feeling lately that
there's something he hasn't been telling me.
Copy !req
178. Maybe he thought you'd see him differently
if you found out.
Copy !req
179. Do you really think that I'm
that shallow, Clark?
Copy !req
180. It might take him a while to get
to know you as well as I do.
Copy !req
181. Look at that.
Copy !req
182. It's like that cloud came out of nowhere.
Copy !req
183. And then it's completely gone 5 minutes later.
Copy !req
184. It covered 2 miles before it dissipated.
Copy !req
185. - Why would a cloud just appear like that?
- Maybe it's not a cloud.
Copy !req
186. - Maybe it's pollution or smoke or something.
- If that's the county line, Chloe's house is
Copy !req
187. right in the middle of it.
- So is LuthorCorp.
Copy !req
188. Mom?
Copy !req
189. Dad?
Copy !req
190. Jason!
Copy !req
191. Lana...
Copy !req
192. Lana.
Copy !req
193. They're all going to leave you.
Copy !req
194. And there's nothing you can do about it.
Copy !req
195. Lana!
Copy !req
196. - I need you to hold him, get over here!
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
197. Mr. Luthor, we have never tested this antidote,
I urge you to try it on a lab animal first.
Copy !req
198. One of my employees is about to die. Do you
see any other options for us right now?
Copy !req
199. No sir, I don't. But please remember,
this is like a flu innoculation,
Copy !req
200. it contains traces of the infectious element.
Copy !req
201. Is that your way of telling me the patient's
going to get worse before he gets better?
Copy !req
202. Assuming it works.
Copy !req
203. Mr. Luthor, you can't go in there!
Copy !req
204. You must keep exposure to the toxin
to a minimum!
Copy !req
205. I'm responsible for this plant and everyone
who works here... I'm going with you.
Copy !req
206. I understand you're treating a patient
named Jason Teague?
Copy !req
207. Lex, I've got my hands full right now. We're
watching Mr. Teague,
Copy !req
208. along with all the others in his condition.
Copy !req
209. The others? Are you telling me all these
people have the same symptoms?
Copy !req
210. Unfortunately.
We have no idea what we're dealing with.
Copy !req
211. It's a synthetic toxin.
Copy !req
212. A pressure tank exploded this morning at
my plant.
Copy !req
213. We thought we had it contained but the toxin
release must have escaped into the atmosphere.
Copy !req
214. It's possible all these people were exposed
at the time.
Copy !req
215. And you're just telling me this now? I have
to call the center for disease control.
Copy !req
216. I don't know how much they can do, but there's an
antidote my project manager's been modifying as we speak
Copy !req
217. How close is it?
Copy !req
218. The first trial was unsuccessful, but I assure you
we will have the situation under control.
Copy !req
219. It's too late for that.
Copy !req
220. I need a doctor.
I need a doctor!
Copy !req
221. Did you know about this when I talked
to you earlier today?
Copy !req
222. Clark, other than Jason, I had no idea anyone
outside of LuthorCorp was exposed,
Copy !req
223. you have to believe me.
Copy !req
224. What is this, though?
Copy !req
225. It all makes sense.
Copy !req
226. Lana.
Help me.
Copy !req
227. The meteor shower.
Copy !req
228. You came the same day.
Copy !req
229. How could I be so stupid?
Copy !req
230. The meteor shower is the reason I'm here.
Copy !req
231. I'm from a planet called Krypton.
Copy !req
232. Lana, I wanted to tell you.
Copy !req
233. But I didn't think you'd accept me.
Copy !req
234. You're not even human?
Copy !req
235. No, please.
That stuff makes me sick!
Copy !req
236. My parents are gone because of you.
Copy !req
237. I'm never going to see them again.
Copy !req
238. You killed my parents.
Copy !req
239. Mom.
Copy !req
240. Clark?
Copy !req
241. - I need to find my parents, where are they?
- They haven't been admitted.
Copy !req
242. Clark you're the first patient to come out of
this, I think you'd better sit down.
Copy !req
243. - No, I feel fine.
- Clark-
Copy !req
244. Dad?
Copy !req
245. Mom!
Copy !req
246. Mom?
Copy !req
247. Lex!
Copy !req
248. I'll keep you updated.
Copy !req
249. - You're running out of time.
- How did you get past security?
Copy !req
250. It's O.K... I don't understand, I left you
in the hospital, what happened?
Copy !req
251. My parents are in there now.
Copy !req
252. Clark-
Copy !req
253. Lana, Chloe, Jason, they're all going to
die if you don't do something!
Copy !req
254. What do you suggest I do?
Copy !req
255. Use me.
Copy !req
256. I want you to use me.
Copy !req
257. Look, I came out of this panic state.
Maybe there's something in me that can help.
Copy !req
258. I'll give you whatever samples you need.
Copy !req
259. Look, even if your immune system could offer
us some sort of insight, those kind of
Copy !req
260. tests take months, years to analyze!
No, no...
Copy !req
261. He's right, Clark. We have a new antidote
that we can test in a few hours.
Copy !req
262. There's no time.
Copy !req
263. The antidote needs to be heated to 1000 degrees
Kelvin until it clears, otherwise it's useless!
Copy !req
264. This time we're going to test it first.
Copy !req
265. People's lives are at stake. We're
running out of time.
Copy !req
266. Look at them, Mr. Luthor. You look at them.
Copy !req
267. Are you going to point the finger and decide which
one of them is going to take the lethal injection?
Copy !req
268. Whoever it is, you could be killing them.
Copy !req
269. Mr. Luthor, No!
Copy !req
270. - Clark?
- Thank God it worked.
Copy !req
271. - I'm going to get the antidote to the hospital.
- Lex, you're going to be O.K.
Copy !req
272. I should have known.
Copy !req
273. Clark.
Copy !req
274. Is there something bothering you son?
Copy !req
275. No, it'll just take a few days before I can
walk into that room, and...
Copy !req
276. not get a flash of the two of you
unconscious on the floor.
Copy !req
277. Thanks for cleaning everything up.
Copy !req
278. Somebody really did a number on that lamp
back there.
Copy !req
279. Must have been some nightmare you had.
Copy !req
280. And we woke up to find that it
almost came true.
Copy !req
281. Clark you walked right into Lex's office
and almost gave up your secret.
Copy !req
282. Who knows what they would have done to you?
Copy !req
283. I didn't see any other choice.
Copy !req
284. It's funny, because lately I've been thinking
I've gotten closer to
Copy !req
285. being able to tell someone the truth about
me, but...
Copy !req
286. now I'm convinced more than ever that
I can't tell anyone.
Copy !req
287. Especially not Lana.
Copy !req
288. I know how much it would mean to you
to be able to share your secret with her.
Copy !req
289. As far apart as we've grown...
Copy !req
290. I think about it every day.
Copy !req
291. I hope our own fears haven't gotten in your way.
Copy !req
292. I would hate for you to look back, and
regret not telling the people closest to you.
Copy !req
293. I mean, there is a chance
Lana would understand.
Copy !req
294. There is.
Copy !req
295. But what if she didn't?
Copy !req
296. Clark, look. I'm not...
sure that it's Lana...
Copy !req
297. But I am sure that...
Copy !req
298. someday there will be someone you can tell.
Copy !req
299. Egg-Foo-Yung to the rescue!
Copy !req
300. So, if I'd waited around the Peking Duck,
you'd have, what...
Copy !req
301. been gone?
Copy !req
302. No I would have been here.
Trying to figure out what to say.
Copy !req
303. I don't understand.
Copy !req
304. Is this because of your mom?
Copy !req
305. You've been different ever since I met her.
Copy !req
306. No I've been different every since I
came to Smallville.
Copy !req
307. 6 months ago, I never would have gone to
someone like Lex,
Copy !req
308. and groveled for a job that I don't even want.
Copy !req
309. Worst part is, I was too embarrassed
to even tell you about it.
Copy !req
310. Since when have you ever been embarrassed
around me?
Copy !req
311. Exactly.
Copy !req
312. I don't like this person that I'm becoming, Lana.
Copy !req
313. And I don't want to wait around for you to
resent me as much as I resent myself, so...
Copy !req
314. That's not why you're leaving.
Copy !req
315. The one thing I learned from my relationship with
Clark is when someone isn't being honest with me.
Copy !req
316. Jason.
Just tell me the truth.
Copy !req
317. Be careful.
Copy !req
318. I can't get a statement from LuthorCorp.
A huge chemical explosion causes everyone
Copy !req
319. to relive their worst nightmares, what is that?
Copy !req
320. And there's no sign of a lawsuit, it's like this
whole thing is being completely forgotten about!
Copy !req
321. What? What?
Copy !req
322. WHAT!
Copy !req
323. I've seen you worked up before, but this
is more than amped, even for you.
Copy !req
324. I guess it's just displaced anxiety.
Copy !req
325. I found my mom, Clark.
Copy !req
326. Wow, that's...
Copy !req
327. Chloe that's great!
Copy !req
328. Yeah, I put my "feelers" out for years and
something 3 months ago finally came through, so...
Copy !req
329. And it turns out she's...
Copy !req
330. she's not exactly "M.I.A." ,
so to speak.
Copy !req
331. She's in a mental institution.
Copy !req
332. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
333. The real kicker is, it's hereditary.
Copy !req
334. Listen, hey..
If there's one thing I've learned,
Copy !req
335. it's that you're not destined to
follow in your parent's footsteps, alright?
Copy !req
336. O.K.
Thanks.
Copy !req
337. So, popular question of the day.
Copy !req
338. What is Clark Kent's worst nightmare?
Copy !req
339. When I woke up.
Copy !req
340. Everyone that I knew was gone.
Copy !req
341. I was completely alone.
Copy !req
342. I wish I could say that I'll
always be there for you, but...
Copy !req
343. somehow I get the feeling that may not
be a promise I can keep.
Copy !req
344. You were the only one that came out
of it, Clark, and...
Copy !req
345. I don't think it's because you've been
taking your vitamins.
Copy !req
346. - Chloe.
- Look, you know what, you don't have to tell me.
Copy !req
347. I know that I gave you my word that I was
going to stop all this prying, but...
Copy !req
348. In these last few months I got a taste of
what it was like to keep my mom's secret...
Copy !req
349. and I've never felt more alone.
Copy !req
350. It's weird when people think they're so close to you,
but have no idea what you're really going through.
Copy !req
351. Yeah.
Copy !req
352. I'd hate to live my whole life like this.
Copy !req
353. But, after "fessing up" it's amazing how
quickly that feeling of loneliness disappears.
Copy !req
354. I mean, if you can't tell your best friend,
who can you tell?
Copy !req
355. Right, Clark?
