"I get to take home the souvenir video of this when we're done, right?" "Jonathan, you can go ahead and put your shirt on." "How does everything look, Dr. Scanlan?" "Well, I'm afraid the left ventricular myocardium is still dyskinetic." "Why don't I like the way that sounds?" "Because of the arterial blockage I'm gonna recommend a triple bypass." "You're only in the hospital a few days." "I promise, when you come out you'll feel better than when you came in." "Open-heart surgery?" "Don't you think that's a bit extreme?" "We've been friends for a long time and I know you can be a stubborn man." "Look, given your current condition, Jonathan you could have another heart attack any moment." "And the next time could be fatal." "And the surgery could be fatal too?" "Trust me." "You stand a far greater risk if you don't have this operation." "Come on!" "Garrett?" "Garrett." "Thanks, Clark." "You figure after a couple months, it'd like me better." "I thought your dad was out of the woods." "So did I." "But here we are again." "How's your brother doing, Garrett?" "In serious need of a new liver." "If he doesn't get one soon, I don't know how much time he's got left." "Of course, if he knew I was out here, instead of hitting the books, he'd pitch a fit." "What's it looking like for your dad?" "They're talking open-heart surgery." "With everything you've told me about your father, it should be a walk in the park." "You know, Garrett I always thought of my dad as a man of steel." "I guess I was wrong." "Clark." "Your dad's gonna have that surgery." "And my brother's gonna get that transplant." "A year from now we'll all get together and laugh about how freaked out we both were." "Yeah." "Code blue, room 247." "Code blue, room 247." "God, that's Vince's room." "No." "Another milligram of epi." "Come on." "Charging." "Clear." "No response." "Still V-tach." "Vince." "Hey, get him out of here." "Out of here!" "Vince?" "No, come on." "No!" "No, Vince!" "Vince, please!" "Vince!" "Not yet!" "Come on." "Come on." "Don't die." "All right, let's call it." "Time of death, 2:43 p.m." "I'm sorry, son." "Poor boy." "Where's his family?" "His brother was all he had." "His parents died in a car accident when he was little." "Who's going to take care of him?" "He's got an uncle in Germany." "It'll take him a few days to get here." "He said something about foster care." "No." "He shouldn't be there the night his brother died." "He can stay with us for a few days." "Are you sure?" "What about dad's surgery and everything?" "I overheard." "Dad's not sure he's gonna have it yet." "I'm gonna go speak with Dr. Scanlan." "Hey, Clark." "Look, I'm sorry to hear about your friend, Garrett." "How's he holding up?" "He's in shock." "Guess that's what happens when the most important person in your life is gone." "I know about the surgery." "Can you believe it?" "I'm so popular around here they want me to be admitted right away." "So you're gonna do it." "It's not quite that cut-and-dried, Clark." "There must be a way around this." "No, I heard the doctor." "It didn't sound like that." "I thought we talked about eavesdropping on private conversations." "If you'd stop trying to protect me from this, I wouldn't have to." "Dad, I see Garrett out there, and he's lost." "Just like I'd be without you." "Please do this." "Clark...." "Go out there and tell your mother to start filling out all the admissions paperwork." "Go on." "And, Clark don't worry about me, son." "I'm not going anywhere." "I want you to know how much I appreciate this." "Oh, sweetheart, we're happy to have you." "Clark, I'm gonna go get some things together for your dad." "Garrett, if you want to be alone" "No." "I really don't." "It's kind of ironic." "My brother worked in demolition." "He risked his life every day with explosives, and I lose him to liver disease." "If he had just gotten that transplant, he'd still be...." "Your dad's about to have surgery." "You don't need to hear this." "No, Garrett, it helps to talk about it." "You listened to me that time in the hospital." "Part of me feels like Vince isn't really gone." "That it's all just some big misunderstanding." "Garrett, if anyone needs to be told, I can help." "Make some phone calls...." "No, it was just us." "He used to call me "runt" as long as I can remember." "I always hated it." "Now I'd give anything to hear him say it again." "Garrett?" "I just got a call from the crematorium." "They want to know where they should send your brother's ashes." "Ashes?" "What are they talking about?" "He's supposed to be buried next to my mom and dad." "Let's move." "Syringe." "Welcome back, Vince." "Why have him cremated?" "That's not what he asked for." "We didn't send him." "Metropolis General did." "He was helicoptered there for an organ donation." "Then it couldn't be the same Vincent Davis." "That's what the paperwork says." "All the documents are signed, including your brother's autograph on that cremation form." "No." "Look." "Maybe you didn't know him as well as you thought." "What are you talking about?" "Garrett, calm down." "How am I supposed to be calm when he's been carved up and burnt to a crisp?" "Look, son, I know this is difficult, but" "You don't know anything." "I'm sorry." "Garrett, I know this is hard." "Maybe Vince just didn't tell you." "My brother's told me everything since the day my parents died." "Those documents have to be forged." "I think your embassy would keep tabs on North Koreans who have recently been deported." "Seems like Dr. Teng has vanished without a trace." "It turns out that's not the only thing out of the ordinary of our friendly molecular biologist." "What have you got?" "lt turns out it wasn't scientific research or academic prestige that got her into this country 1 2 years ago." "It was wedding bells." "She married a rent-a-cop from LutherCorp." "So my father arranged a green-card marriage." "Yeah." "Now I tracked down the groom so I could ask him what he knew." "What did the lucky guy have to say?" "It wasn't really what he had to say." "It was more where he said it." "He plays watchdog for the old Metron Pharmaceuticals building." "That's been shut down for seven years." "Yeah, that's what I thought." "But while he was telling me to get lost I swear I saw what I think was a delivery truck pulling around back." "My father's been strangely stubborn about liquidating that property." "Every market indicator says to sell but he insists the neighborhood is about to be revitalized." "The only thing being revitalized in that neighborhood is the graffiti." "Now, I think I can make some headway if you'll just come along with me." "Chloe, I should take it from here." "lex, I'm perfectly capable of doing" "This has nothing to do with your capability." "I'm worried about your safety." "When my father's involved with covert research people tend to get hurt." "I'm sorry I lost it." "I guess I kind of have a short fuse." "You have every reason to be upset, Garrett." "The thing is, it just doesn't make any sense." "Vince?" "It's me, runt." "Vince!" "I can't believe it." "This is incredible." "Wait, I don't understand." "We both saw you." "You were pronounced dead." "I guess they were wrong." "There's gotta be an explanation." "All I know is, when I woke up, I was in a lab and this woman doctor with a needle the size of Kansas was standing over me." "Come on, runt, we have to get out of here." "Wait, we should get you to a doctor." "No more doctors or labs." "Garrett and I have to fall off the radar." "Why?" "Who's after you?" "I don't know, but...." "Can you tell me where the lab is?" "It's...." "It's somewhere in Metropolis." "Are you okay?" "Garrett, what's wrong?" "Vince?" "Your eyes." "They're bleeding." "Vince?" "Vince?" "What's happening to him?" "Vince." "Vince, no!" "Clark, you have to help him." "Please." "No, I don't know how to explain it." "This man was dead yesterday." "He said he was revived at a lab in Metropolis." "Whatever they did, it was short-term." "He's not going to last much longer." "His liver is rapidly deteriorating." "Dr. Yeager, call the lab and tell them to give him more of whatever he got." "I have no idea what lab you're talking about." "Don't hold out on me." "I'm not gonna stand here while he dies again." "Look, I've never had a patient come back to life before." "I'm just as confounded as you are." "But I promise you, we're doing everything we can to keep your brother alive." "All right." "Here we go." "White male, early 20s." "Six feet, 1 80 pounds." "Originally presented with...." "I'm not sure coming back here was such a great idea." "There was no other place to take him." "At least they can try to stabilize him." "I can't lose him twice, Clark." "How's Dad doing?" "I feel like I'm being prepped for a Thanksgiving dinner, and I'm the turkey." "You'll have a good scar to brag about." "What's happening with Garrett's brother?" "He's going downhill fast, and the doctors don't know what to do." "But he mentioned this lab in Metropolis." "If I could find it, maybe I could figure out what cured him." "You need to help your friend, Clark." "No, Dad, I'm not leaving you." "Clark, I'm in very capable hands here." "Honestly, you're not good at sitting on the sidelines." "Garrett and Vince need you, Clark." "Yeah, but" "Son, if there is any chance that you could save your friend's life then that's what you need to do." "Dad, I want you to know...." "I do know, Clark." "And I love you too." "Now go on." "Help your friend." "Clark." "I thought you and your mom could use moral support and a little sustenance." "Thanks, Lana." "My mom hasn't eaten all day." "I'm sure she'll appreciate it." "I'll be back soon." "Is everything all right?" "Do you know Garrett Davis?" "Sure, he and Vince used to come by the Talon." "Vince came down with this rare liver disease and he needed a transplant." "I'm guessing from the past tense that he never got it." "No." "He died yesterday." "Then last night, he showed up at my barn." "He came back to life?" "He seemed completely fine until he started bleeding from his eyes." "I've seen it before with Adam." "I found this obituary that said he died 5 months ago of a rare liver disease." "Did you tell anyone?" "Why not?" "Adam said if I told anyone, they could be in danger." "Where is Adam now?" "He disappeared." "I haven't seen him in more than a week." "Listen, Vince mentioned he got an injection." "Did Adam ever take anything?" "Yeah." "At first I thought it was because he was a drug addict." "But maybe that's what was keeping him alive." "Hey, runt." "Vince." "Vince...." "I'm sorry." "What are you talking about?" "I have a disease." "None of this is your fault." "But if it weren't for me, you could've had such a better life." "You would've married and had kids of your own instead of worrying about me." "Garrett, I wouldn't have done it any different even if you are a runt." "Garrett." "There's not much else we can do except make him comfortable." "Now might be a good time to say your goodbyes." "I'm not saying goodbye to anybody." "Son, I know this is hard" "I'm not gonna let him die." "Do you hear me?" "I'm not gonna let him die." "They'll be here any minute." "Now, Martha, you and I both know that there's a chance that things could go south in there." "Don't say that, please." "Now, there's no doubt in my mind that you and Clark can take good care of each other." "But you have to remember our promise." "When he's ready you have to let him go." "When that day comes you'll be standing right beside me." "We're ready." "Clark, I can run with this if you wanna be with your dad." "It's all right, he knows I'm here." "It also takes my mind off the fact that I can't do anything." "Everything's gonna be okay." "We need to figure out what brought Vince back to life." "Well, it looks like my contact at Metropolis General e-mailed me." "The only organ donors who arrived yesterday were both females." "That means the medevac chopper took Garrett's brother somewhere else." "Seems that flyboy is the one to talk to." "Are you Ben Powell?" "What's it to you?" "Where'd you take that body yesterday?" "Look, I don't know what kind of game you're playing, but I'm an emergency medical pilot." "You left to take a body to Metropolis General and it never arrived." "I'm not a lawyer, but I guess you could do some serious jail time for using a medevac helicopter for your own profit." "What do you want?" "Take me where you took Vincent Davis." "What is this place?" "They pay me cash." "I don't ask questions." "Who's there?" "I thought I'd never see you again." "What are you doing here?" "So this is where you were deported to." "I can only imagine the moves you used to sway the immigration officers." "How did you get past security?" "As I'm sure you're well aware, this building is owned by LuthorCorp." "Family name tends to open doors." "Now, this looks familiar." "It's identical to the vial found in Adam Knight's apartment." "It's a very delicate substance." "If you don't leave at once, I'm notifying your father." "Can't you just send me to the principal instead?" "I offered to fund your research, doctor." "You turned your back on me." "I suggest you tell me the origin of your little blood-platelet cocktail or I'll make sure lNS reserves you a window seat on the next flight to Pyongyang." "Something tells me they don't look kindly on North Koreans doing illegal research on American soil." "Where did it go?" "What did you just do?" "Are you ready to proceed?" "Yes." "Go ahead, start it." "I want two more milligrams of potassium chloride in the lV." "Yes, doctor." "Vitals?" "Pulse has leveled off at 80." "BP, 1 20/70." "EKG normal." "Blood ox?" "98 percent, normal." "Okay, Jonathan, we're gonna have you out of here in no time." "I suppose all we can do now is wait." "Mr. Kent's strong." "He's gonna fight through this." "Oh, Pete." "I wasn't sure if you guys wanted your space but I thought I should be here." "I'm so glad you came." "Where's Clark?" "He'll be right back." "Okay." "Dr. Yeager!" "Where is Dr. Yeager?" "I want to speak to Dr. Yeager!" "What do you think you're doing?" "My brother needs a liver." "So I figure now you'll get him one." "Garrett, this isn't gonna solve anything." "Don't come any closer." "If you want anyone to leave with their limbs attached you'd better make sure my brother gets that transplant." "We need you to stay behind the barricade at this time." "Everyone, please stay behind the barricade." "This is a high-alert situation." "Sheriff!" "Just hold it." "Hey, not now, Mr. Kent." "Now if you can't tell, I am a little busy here." "My parents are in there." "My dad's having surgery." "Please." "What's going on?" "Let him go." "There is a kid in there who is gonna blow this place to kingdom come unless his brother gets a transplant." "Garrett Davis?" "You know him?" "His brother doesn't need a transplant." "I have medicine that can cure him." "Where'd you get this wonder drug?" "Doesn't matter." "If you tell him I have this, we can prevent anyone from getting hurt." "I know him." "He's just desperate." "Well, desperate equals dangerous in my book." "Sheriff, please." "Just get him on the phone." "He'll talk to me." "We have a serious problem." "Clark can't help us in here." "That bomb is laced with meteor rock." "His family uses it for their demolition business." "More bang for their buck." "Mrs. Kent, you're a nice lady." "I don't want to hurt you." "Don't do this, Garrett." "It's not what your brother would want." "I know exactly what my brother wanted." "A transplant, and to see me graduate high school." "I'm gonna make sure he gets both of those." "Even if I have to be locked up when I get that diploma." "Yeah?" "Garrett, it's Clark." "I tracked down the lab they took Vince to, and I grabbed a vial of the medicine." "I'm holding it right here." "Why should I trust you?" "Because I've done nothing but try to help." "Okay, come in, but just you." "No." "I will not allow that." "I'll get one of my deputies to bring it in." "It's Clark or no one." "You have to let the hostages go." "That's the only way they're even gonna think about letting me in." "Clark." "Mom, are you okay?" "I'm fine." "Your father's still in the operating room." "Garrett means what he says." "I need to get this to Vince, then I'll take care of the bomb." "Clark, you may not be able to." "It's made with kryptonite." "Be careful." "There is too much at stake here." "You find a good vantage point." "You get a clean shot." "You take him out." "Garrett." "Where is it?" "It's right here." "What are you doing?" "You have a bomb strapped to your chest." "I prefer to just keep my distance." "Is it supposed to do this?" "I don't know." "Doctor?" "I need you to give my brother an injection of this in his chest." "What is this?" "Just do it." "Please, just do it." "What are you waiting for?" "Hurry!" "How long is it supposed to take, Clark?" "I'm not sure." "There's no change in his vitals." "It's not working?" "You lied to me, Clark." "No, I didn't." "That's it." "My brother's getting a liver now." "We don't have one, Garrett." "Yes, you do." "You've got a man lying in the OR." "That's my dad." "I don't have another choice." "No, you're not touching him." "Clark." "You'll still have a mom." "If Vince dies I have no one." "Son, the chances of success are very low." "Just go." "Now." "Doctor, you can't do this." "I know I can't." "But there are 20 other patients in this building." "I don't know what to do." "You don't want to do this, Garrett." "I'm sorry, Clark." "Is everyone all right?" "Everything's stable." "Let's continue." "Your father wanted to cut off his medication." "He said Adam Knight's role in the project was done but I couldn't do it." "It was barbaric." "It would've killed him." "That's why you've hidden him down here from my father." "Why don't we just keep the kid on the medicine?" "The platelets are in extremely short supply." "You haven't told me where these blood platelets come from." "I don't know." "Why would I lie to you?" "You're my only way out from your father's grip." "But I do know they have the remarkable ability to revivify necrotic tissue." "So why is it that all the subjects suffer from the same liver disease?" "The cells in the liver are the most resilient cells in the body." "I want you to relax, Adam." "It's me, Dr. Teng." "What's wrong with him?" "He's deteriorating." "I told your father not to rush the serum's development." "But he wouldn't listen." "I don't think it's gonna get much cleaner." "What brings you to the far reaches of the Talon?" "I thought I might be able to find a clue to the former tenant's whereabouts." "Why?" "He's gone." "That's what's important." "You wouldn't know where he is, would you?" "No." "I just want to forget that he ever lived here." "Yeah, I can see that." "Lana is there something you're not telling me?" "No." "Of course not." "I guess I'm gonna have to put all his stuff in storage." "Look...." "I want you to know if you ever feel like talking about Adam I'm always here." "LeX...." "Why are you still interested in him, anyway?" "You came to me and asked if I could get him out of your life." "I'm just following up and making sure he stays that way." "Hey, thanks for the lift." "I think I can take it from here." "Easy, Jonathan." "The doctor said to stand slowly." "If I stand any slower, I'll be standing still." "Thank you so much for everything." "Bye-bye." "Hey, Clark...." "It's all right, son." "The doctor says that the worst of this is behind me." "Hey, Clark?" "What's bothering you, son?" "When I went to pick up the vial for Vince, Lex was there." "He was talking to one of the scientists." "From their conversation, it sounds like Lionel Luthor is behind all of it." "Now, why doesn't that surprise me?" "When the serum got close to the kryptonite bomb it reacted the same way as my blood." "So you're saying the serum...." "I know." "It sounds crazy, but I think Lionel Luthor's found a way to use my blood to bring people back to life." "If my blood can save lives maybe I should come forward." "What if something inside me could repair dad's heart permanently?" "Clark your mother and I both know that you are gonna save a lot of lives in this world." "Even more than you have any idea." "The only life I'm interested in saving is yours." "You do." "You save my life every day that you're with us." "And we wouldn't trade that for a single moment without you." "Hey." "Hey, how's your dad feeling?" "You'd never know he just had a triple bypass." "My mom bought the doctor a combat helmet as a thank-you gift." "Only your dad could survive surgery during a siege." "I talked to Garrett's uncle." "He wanted to know what happened." "What did you say?" "Well, I couldn't explain Vince's resurrection but I told him that Garrett was a good kid." "You know, he was desperate." "He wanted to do whatever he could to save his brother." "I should've said something about Adam sooner." "I feel so guilty." "None of this was your fault." "Still, I let him threaten me into silence." "Because you knew it would put people in danger." "I understand keeping secrets for that reason." "It was really hard keeping it from everyone." "It's kind of a relief to tell you." "Lana, no matter where we stand I'm still your friend, and you can tell me anything." "You know that goes both ways." "Clark." "What do you think was in that serum?" "I have no idea."
