- He was like family.
- Then why'd he leave?

174
00:13:29,726 --> 00:13:32,104
He took a job at the LuthorCorp plant.

175
00:13:32,270 --> 00:13:35,440
It was full-time and the pay was better.

176

- Where can we find Earl Jenkins?
- [Woman] Exam room 3, down the hall.

177

Excuse me. I'm a friend of Earl's.
Is he in some kind of trouble?

Oh, yeah.

184
00:15:24,091 --> 00:15:26,384
Hi. You're home early.

185
00:15:26,676 --> 00:15:31,014
We called six times last night,
spoke with six different people,

186
00:15:31,181 --> 00:15:33,100
none of whom knew who you were.

187
00:15:33,266 --> 00:15:35,060
It was supposed to be an intimate occasion.

188
00:15:36,770 --> 00:15:39,731
- Clark, where have you been?
- The hospital.

189
00:15:39,940 --> 00:15:43,443
- I'm never leaving home again.
- Who got hurt?

190
00:15:43,610 --> 00:15:45,987
Nobody, but I found
Earl Jenkins hiding in the loft.

191
00:15:46,154 --> 00:15:48,949
He was looking for you, dad.
He's all messed up.

192
00:15:50,242 --> 00:15:53,411
- What's the matter with Earl?
- I don't know. He's wanted for murder.

193
00:15:54,037 --> 00:15:55,163
Earl?

194
00:15:56,498 --> 00:15:57,791
What'd he say for himself?

195
00:15:57,958 --> 00:16:00,252
- I couldn't get close.
- How come, the police?

196
00:16:01,670 --> 00:16:04,798
Because when I got near him, I got sick.

197
00:16:05,340 --> 00:16:06,800
It was weird.

198
00:16:06,967 --> 00:16:10,971
Every time I stood next to
him, it got worse. It's kind of like...

199
00:16:12,430 --> 00:16:13,974
Like what?

200
00:16:15,392 --> 00:16:18,937
It's kind of like the way I feel
around meteor fragments.

[Jonathan] What's wrong with him?

203
00:16:33,785 --> 00:16:37,706
Well, to be honest, I
haven't the faintest idea.

204
00:16:37,873 --> 00:16:42,002
It's amazing his body's been able
to survive the seizures this long.

205
00:16:42,085 --> 00:16:45,255
Here. Take a look at the x-rays.

206
00:16:47,465 --> 00:16:51,136
It looks like mineral poisoning,
but it's not a mineral I've seen before.

207
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:52,929
Is that why he's shaking so hard?

208
00:16:53,096 --> 00:16:55,223
Mineral fragments are
embedded under his skin.

209
00:16:55,390 --> 00:16:58,602
- His body is trying to push them out.
- How did they get there?

210
00:16:58,768 --> 00:17:02,397
He claims there was an explosion
at the LuthorCorp plant six months ago.

211
00:17:02,522 --> 00:17:05,483
- I didn't hear about that.
- That's because it didn't happen.

212
00:17:05,650 --> 00:17:09,196
I pulled the plant's safety records.
I checked with osha and the epa.

213
00:17:13,116 --> 00:17:16,328
- Can I go in and talk to him by myself?
- Better hurry up.

214
00:17:16,494 --> 00:17:19,497
Metropolis pd will be here any minute
to transfer him back to the city.

215
00:17:23,376 --> 00:17:25,837
- I wanna go with you.
- No.

216
00:17:26,004 --> 00:17:29,466
Listen, you said that you felt sick
when you got around him, right?

217
00:17:29,633 --> 00:17:32,802
I bet what he was exposed to
has to do with those meteor rocks.

218
00:17:32,969 --> 00:17:35,889
I don't want you passing out around here.

00:18:14,803 --> 00:18:19,808
All right, Earl, what's going on?
I can't believe you'd wanna kill anybody.

227
00:18:19,975 --> 00:18:24,521
It was an accident.
I was trying to see Lionel Luthor.

228
00:18:25,313 --> 00:18:28,650
- —Why?
- Find out what they used on level 3.

229
00:18:30,402 --> 00:18:33,071
Earl, you're not making any sense.

230
00:18:33,780 --> 00:18:36,658
When I got that job
at the Smallville plant,

231
00:18:36,825 --> 00:18:38,868
I was assigned to clean level 3.

232
00:18:39,577 --> 00:18:43,123
They were doing these
hush-hush crop experiments.

233
00:18:43,206 --> 00:18:46,459
A new kind of fertilizer
supposed to make corn grow twice as fast.

234
00:18:47,836 --> 00:18:50,463
There was something
unstable in that fertilizer.

235
00:18:50,714 --> 00:18:53,925
There was a huge explosion.
I was cleaning at the time.

236
00:18:54,092 --> 00:18:56,678
This stuff, it got under my skin.

237
00:18:57,512 --> 00:18:59,889
And the next thing I know,

238
00:19:00,056 --> 00:19:03,685
they shut it all down
and I was transferred to Metropolis.

239
00:19:03,852 --> 00:19:07,605
Then two months ago, the jitters started.

240
00:19:08,148 --> 00:19:10,942

- [Earl] I must have seen 50.

They needed to know what I was exposed to.

243
00:19:16,072 --> 00:19:20,702
But when I went back to the plant,
they told me that level 3 didn't exist.

244
00:19:20,869 --> 00:19:23,163
That it never had.

245
00:19:23,371 --> 00:19:27,625

control it. I'm running out of time.

This level 3 nonsense...

341
00:27:24,352 --> 00:27:27,605
I've assured everyone there is no level 3.
That is the truth, isn't it?

You need to get on the

Mrs. Kent, I understand how you feel.

out of there alive too.

I see you haven't lost your touch.

The whole place is gonna go up.

- That's not a good idea.

The man's nuts. He's not listening to
the cops, and that gas is gonna blow.

- He's sick, but still strong.
- I don't want you to get hurt.

in that man's hands.

He's a teenager who's been waiting
for someone to take the initiative.

about these kids, Earl?

I never meant to hurt anybody.

I tried talking to your father,
but he wouldn't listen to me.
