Directed by Greg Beeman

-->'''Clark''': Why'd you have to bring [my father] into this, Jor-El? [[TakeMeInstead Whatever promises my dad made, I'll take them on]]. Come on! Come on, Jor-El, I'm the one you want!

-->'''Lionel''': Are you aware that, at one time, there was an octagonal keyhole on the wall of the cave? It was sealed for months. Then it reopened suddenly just after our friend Clark had been down there.
-->'''Dr. Swann''': Oh well, you don't need me; you need a locksmith.

-->'''Dr. Swann''': I don't have all the answers. I'm still on the same journey as you are, Kal-El.
-->'''Clark''': ''Please''... don't call me that! I don't even know who that is!

-->'''Clark''': You betrayed me!
-->'''Dr. Swann''': (''calmly'') Hello, Kal-El.
-->'''Clark''': My name is Clark!
-->'''Dr. Swann''': You think I betrayed you because I met with Lionel Luthor.
-->'''Clark''': You did more than meet with him. You agreed to help him!
-->'''Dr. Swann''': I didn't betray you, Kal-El. I promised you your secret would never leave this building, and it hasn't. My involvement with Lionel Luthor is in your best interest.

--->'''Dr. Swann''': Was [Lionel] the one who caused the explosion on the farm? Did he make you run wild in Metropolis? (''shakes his head'') I opened the door to your heritage because I thought that you were ready. [[DisappointedInYou Your actions over the past year have proven me wrong.]]

* InternalReveal: Dr. Swann is shown with the key to Clark's ship.

When Jonathan begins acting strangely, Clark suspects Jor-El is behind his father's erratic behavior and goes down to the Kawatche Caves to confront Jor-El. Lionel comes upon Clark in the caves, and his suspicions of Clark's connection to the Kawatche Caves leads him to meet with Dr. Virgil Swann.

* WhatTheHellHero: Clark storms into Dr. Swann's building and angrily confronts him about agreeing to help Lionel. Dr. Swann, in turn, gives Clark this sort of speech, but that's probably because he doesn't know the whole story.
