Smallville

I lost her.

Lois, are you okay?

Smallville 903

synchro : Flolo

you can put away the pepper spray.

- It's only me. - I wasn't hiding.

Looks like another thrilling friday night...

just you and me flying the red eye on this paper airplane.

Almost like you never left the cockpit.

It's nice to have my copilot here.

- What's with the bag? - All-nighter survival kit.

Comfort food... comfort footwear...

and comfort music... chicken soup for my soul.

Everything okay?

- You just seem a little off. - The only thing i'm off

is a certain blurry butt-kicker's to-do list.

A little over a week, and not so much as a,

"sorry, i've been busy saving the world, but got to run."

I didn't realizethe two of you wer actually seeing each other now.

At this point, it's not really seeing so much as still looking,

so much as still looking, but a girl's got to hope.

Okay, get your engines going.

Looks like there's a major fire on east brunswick.

If we're gonna be here all night, i'll get some coffee.

That's what i love about you, smallville...

i say "fire," you say "food." I'll take mine black.

That was quick.

Do you smell smoke?

No.

The fire just got put out... by the blur.

He is so amazing. Here you and i are just having a coffee

while he's out squelching five-alarm fires in three seconds flat.

Two seconds.

- Not that anyone's counting. - Yeah.

There's a high-speed motorcycle chase out near the bypass.

At least somebody's getting a little action tonight.

Clark, this is ice-cold.

Never mind. I'll get it myself.

Is this your idea of fun now that you've hung up your bow?

Should have known it was you. Clark kent, the king of buzz kill.

You and your pet rock put on a hell of a barbecue.

But i had my money on doomsday...

you can try to play it off as a joke,

but i know that the loss of jimmy affected us both.

I guess god's got a sick sense of humor.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't be taking your name in vain.

What, you need to hear me say it?

I should have listened to you.

I should have gotten rid of davis instead of believing in him.

It's a little late.

I'm trying to make up for what happened not add myself to the casualty list.

Yeah, i can't get my thrills

leaping tall buildings or outrunning speeding bullets.

We mere mortals, we have to rely

on a tweaked-out ducati and the open road.

You know that you're meant for more than this. This isn't you.

Who are you?

What's all this? What's the "s" stand for?

- What is that,"superstar"? - It gives people hope.

I'll tell you what. Why don't you, go ahead

and plaster your symbol of superiority all over the city

so people can worship you like some kind of modern jesus.

That's what you want, right? That's why you're here.

- Here to save us? - You need help.

Yeah, maybe. But i hate to break it to you.

Not everybody believes in the second coming.

Have you found them?

They should have reported in by now.

They may have run into trouble.

They didn't send out an S.O.S.

And i should like to think

that 12 ex-navy S. E.A. L.S could hold their own.

The longer it takes for us to locate these kryptonians,

the more they'll blend in and disappear.

It's okay. It's just...

That is not a many sense.

Tess is not the nervous-breakdown type.

But she is the lying, cheating, scheming type.

You keep enough secrets, they start to back up on your brain.

Seriously, alien orbs? Now she's rambling about zombies?

It all adds up to "c" for "crazy."

Just trust me. There's got to be more to the story than that.

I respect how quickly you managed to get the lowdown

on little miss lithium's mental break but sometimes you can be a little gullible.

Really? Why don't you call your new best friend

- and get him to weigh in on it? - I'm not gonna cry wolf

just to get a pity call from studly do-right.

Something tells me he'd side with me on this one, anyway.

Why, because you have so much in common?

Dr. Coats. Maybe it's psychological.

We could go with a thorazine drip.

No, the delusions are most likely caused by the virus.

But we can't identify it, and she's not responding to antivirus.

I want her isolated. I'm sending all samples to the disease control lab.

I get the sample ready to transport

come on, lois. At least wait till she's awake to get your comment.

Don't you want to find out what made cruella snap?

What happened to you?

Care to comment?

It's me, clark!

Doctor! Please, do something!

Do something to help her now!

Lois, are you okay?

I've thrown down with tess before but not quite like that.

Looks like there may be some truth in her story after all.

Which is why i'm heading back

to the office right now to write it.

Care for a little lo mein?

I just came from that korean macrobiotic place.

They do an exquisite cobb salad. I couldn't help but noticing

that you practically jumped out of your chair when i came in here.

I'd prefer if there were no secrets between us.

Then you're in the wrong business.

I need your help. Can you run a blood test on this?

It belongs to tess mercer. She's infected with something.

Lois and i went to go see her at met gen. She attacked us both.

That's different than the way she is on every other day how?

- We'll get right on it. - I'm already in there.

It looks like she had some visitors this evening.

And not the friendly kind.

Viral rage...

can be traced to a dysfunctional interior singular cortex.

The part of the brain that controls

the primitive fight-or-flight instinct...

leaving the victims vulnerable to hyper-aggression.

- The dca site's pretty impenetrable. - That's okay.

The disease control agency sent in a specialist today.

Do you think you can get something out of him?

I could try. It'll take me at least a half-hour to cross town.

Do you get motion sickness?

Not really. Why do you ask?

Really?

Dr. Coats.

- Has her condition changed at all? - I'm afraid not.

Now the virus has spread to 31 people and counting.

Any idea how the virus metastasized so quickly throughout her body?

Generally something spreading this fast is airborne.

We're about to quarantine the hospital,

and they've sent a team over to miss mercer's office.

The daily planet?

I thought miss mercer called an ambulance from the luthor mansion.

No, she arrived at work experiencing some type of a mental trauma.

Paramedics picked her up at the daily planet.

Randall?

Randall.

Still sleeping on the job, i see.

Rise and shine, randall. I've got a major news flash for you.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

You have no idea what you're up against.

I'll get us through this.

Are you okay?

- That was close. - Yeah.

- You're hurt. - I'm okay.

Let's get you someplace safe.

I know i was supposed to give this back to you

after i checked your license, but i couldn't help myself.

A lot of platinum cards in here.

But i bet this is the most valuable one of all.

Who's she?

It's...

she's just someone i used to know.

Watch it.

Just because i let that speeding ticket slide

doesn't mean you can speed in here.

I apologize, officer. Don't shoot.

But i've been up since...

since like 4:00, yeah, on tuesday.

So those pills right now are the only thing keeping me vertical right now.

It's fine. Just leave it.

- Is this a camera? - A what?

It's some kind of spyware.

It's not mine. I've never seen this.

Right.

And it just accidentally got caught on your belt buckle?

So you could, what? Plaster my butt all over

youtube like pamela anderson?

Okay, first of all, no one's

on youtube looking at pamela anderson's butt.

Don't call or e-mail.

Don't worry. I never do.

Mercy.

I've isolated a suspect enzyme from tess' blood,

but i still haven't been able to find a match.

Anything new from the dca?

No, just they think the virus is airborne

and might have been deliberately released by someone.

As you can see, i created a model of the virus path.
