Chloe Sullivan : Dr. Hamilton had a copy of this book in his barn.
Clark Kent : "The Nicodemus Diary".
Chloe Sullivan : It's a firsthand account of Smallville's first mystery. In 1871, the whole settlement went postal before they even had a post office.
Pete Ross : Nice to know Smallville was still whack before the meteors got here.
Chloe Sullivan : Yeah. In the diary, they talk about a flower; the settlers called it Nicodemus. Said it liberated repressed feelings, sent them into rages, then fever, and finally... well...
[Chloe lets the sentence hang]
Clark Kent : All right, well where can we find this flower?
Chloe Sullivan : Well, see, that's the glitch. After the massacre, the cavalry torched the whole settlement and wanted to make sure whatever caused it wasn't gonna spread. The flower's been extinct for over a hundred years.
Clark Kent : Well, what does Hamilton have to do with this? Isn't he a geologist?
Chloe Sullivan : With a meteor fixation.
Pete Ross : We tracked down this paper he wrote six years ago.
Clark Kent : Metropolis University Press?
Chloe Sullivan : I think this is the last straw. In it, he postulates that meteor rocks can be used to irradiate dormant plant cells.
Clark Kent : So you think Hamilton pulled a "Jurassic Park" and brought back the Nicodemus.
Pete Ross : And now he's trying to cover it up.
