"(male narrator) Rocketed from a distant planet, to a bold new destiny on Earth found by a Kansas family and raised as Clark Kent" "He learned he possessed the strength of steel the speed of light and the desire to help all mankind." "He is Superboy!" "["Superboy" Theme by Kevin Kiner]" "[explosion]" "[engine revving] [distant chattering]" "Ready!" "Ready!" "Go!" "[engines revving]" "[tires screeching]" "Justin, hey man, where you been?" "[chattering] [tires screeching]" "What's the matter with him?" "[swooshing] [theme music] [distant chattering]" "Justin!" " Who is that?" " That's not Justin." " Oh my God." " What's going on?" " You alright?" " Oh my God." "Who in the hell?" "That's not Jus." "He's dead." "[dramatic music]" "Died of stress-related cardiac arrest." "Police are checking his prints." " Didn't he any ID on him?" " Oh, yeah." "It's right here, but it's not gonna do you any good." ""Justin Steeps." "Age 20."" "See?" " That's three now." " Three?" "Old people who've died with teenagers IDs on them." "Missing teenagers." "[sighs] You and Lana." "You're always making everything into a big mystery." "Well, isn't it?" "There's no mystery here." "Read it." ""In case of emergency notify Nathan Steeps."" "Keep reading." ""Care of Havendell Rest Home."" "It's simple." "Who does this body look more like?" "A 20-year-old or someone who'd been living rest home?" "You're saying this is Nathan Steeps?" "What other explanation could there be?" "The old man probably took his grandson's ID and his car keys." "Why would an old man go drag-racing?" "I don't know." "Maybe, he'd been around for 80 boring years and wanted to go out in a blaze of glory." " Come on." " Alright, alright." "Go to the rest home and find out what you can about him." "Will that make you happy?" "That'll make me very hap.." "[chime music]" "Clark." " What is it?" " Oh, nothing." "I just thought I saw somebody I knew." " Excuse me." " Mm-hmm." "I'm here about Nathan Steeps." "[sighs]" "[chimes music]" "Can I help you?" "Yeah, I think so." "I'd like to speak to someone about Nathan Steeps." "I'm the perfect person to ask." "I'm Nathan Steeps." "Justin stays with friends." "Different one every few weeks." "He doesn't have much rent money, he's just a student." "Is there any place he spends a lot of his time?" "Well, yeah, just the gym." "Flawless Form or.." "Whatever they call it." "He likes to stay in shape." "I'll see what I can find out." "If anybody hurt him, I don't know what I'd do." "Look, I'm sure he'll be okay." "That's what the other one said." "What other one?" "Old woman." "About my age, came in a little while ago asking the same questions as you." " Did you get her name?" " You can ask her yourself." "She started to feel weak." "Said, "I'm gonna go in and lie down in the rec room."" "[techno music]" "(Matt) Alright, so, I was wrong about Steeps." " And Lana and me." " Oh, I wouldn't go that far." "You wanted to see me?" "I'm the owner, Adrian Temple." " You can't be." " Yes." "The same guy who did all those ads in the 60s?" "Have a flawless form in 12 minutes a day?" "I'm him." " Well, you'd have be at least" " Oh, as old as I wanna be." "Gentlemen, please." "[techno music]" "(male) It's party time." "[engine cranking]" "Party time." "Aging is something you choose to do." "I really believe that." "Brittle bones, wrinkles, senility." "So much of that is...cultural." "Tell my grandmother that." "Uh, about Justin Steeps." "I'll check his record." "[chime music]" "Umm, I gotta put some money in the parking meter." "[tires screeching]" " Get out of the track!" " Oh!" "[intense music]" " He's dead." " Do you know who he is?" "He's wearing Jeff Olton's jacket." "It can't be Jeff." "[siren wailing]" "Lana?" "I don't know how it happened." "But Lana, there's gotta be an explanation." "Think." "(Lana) It happened two days ago." "Ready for your rubdown?" "I went to workout at Flawless Forms like I always do." "Like I always did." "Incense." "It'll relax you." "[dramatic music]" "Had a little nap, huh?" "Yeah, guess I was more tired than I thought." "Yeah." "Oops, oops, oops." "Guess I was really tired." "(Lana) The next day, I still felt weak." "And my hair was grey and my hands had spots on them." "And you think that Temple caused this somehow?" "It happened to others too." "Justin Steeps." "Jeff Olton." "But how?" "I didn't eat or drink anything while I was there." "When I was asleep.." "...maybe.." "I don't know." "I really don't know." "What don't you talk to Clark?" "Or Matt or.." "Are they still here?" "Matt's with the body, I haven't seen Clark." "I didn't want them to see me like this." "They would've understood." "The way people look at me." "The way you look at me." "Lana." "I told one person Dr. Stern.." "...when it all started happening." " What did she say?" " What could she say?" "She took some tests and said she'd get back with me." "Well, that's a start." "We'll get her here." "Then I'll go talk to Adrian Temple." "We'll both talk to him." "Shouldn't you rest?" "And age another 10 years?" "At this rate, I only have a few hours left." "[dramatic music]" "Let's go look for some answers in Temple's office." "There's nothing here to tell us where he's gone." "I'll be dead by the time we find him." "Lana, you've gotta believe me." "We'll find him." " Lana." " Dr. Stern." "How are you feeling?" "Same way as I look." "I told her to stay home and rest but she wouldn't listen." "I know." "I think I might have found something." "Remember that trace element I found in your blood?" "It's gold." "Or a derivative." "I've been doing some research into.." "...into alchemy." "Alchemy?" " Dr. Stern, I don't have" " Lana." "It's not hereditary." "It's not a virus." "We're running out of possibilities." "But alchemy?" "That's chemistry and magic." "The alchemist used gold derivatives in their formulas." "And they were always trying to extend life." "But this is doing just the opposite." "For you, maybe." "What is that supposed to mean?" "Hold on." "Here's your gold derivative." "Then it was Adrian." "But only he can tell us how he used it." "And he's gone." "I'll take this to my office and analyze it immediately." "Take care of Lana, Dr. Stern." "I'll work with the police in trying to find Temple." "(Dr. Stern) If there's a fountain of youth" "I'm looking at a drop of it." "These golden cells appear indestructible." "And they feed on normal red cells." "Whoever has this in his bloodstream would need a constant supply of new blood." "Blood from young people." "Price of immortality." "Everybody keeps saying how young Adrian looks." "He must have switched his blood with mine when I was unconscious." "And now the same thing's gonna happen to me that happened to the others." "Not if I can stop it." "Stop it?" "What about reversing it?" "[intense music]" "[knocking on door]" " Who is it?" " It's Sasha." "Let me in." "Where's the formula?" "I don't have it." "If I don't have the formula soon.." "Now...where's the formula?" "A doctor named as Stern took it." " Don't you lie." " I have the address!" "[screams]" "Lana?" "Stay awake." "Lana." "[Lana groaning]" "I'm not dead yet." "But soon, my dear." "Soon." "Now, I want what's mine." "I don't think so." "I want what's mine!" "Ah!" "[Adrian groaning] [grunting]" "Oh!" "[theme music]" "We knew Sasha would lead you here." "That's why we let her listen in." "The cure, Temple." "Now!" "Cure?" "Cure." "Yeah." "I'd be delighted to cure her." "For a price." "Your blood." "Superboy, no." "What happened to me will happen to you." "If I can stop this.." "...I have to." "With blood like yours in my veins.." "...I may not need anybody else's for decades." "This needs to be kept cold." "Your turn." " You're shaking, Adrian." " Shut up." "(Lana) Is it really worth it?" "Are you that afraid of growing old?" "Weren't you?" "I thought I was." "That's enough." "Make the exchange." "Give me his." "[intense music]" "Eternity." "Infinity." "Forever's hand in mine." "Eternity, infinity, forever's hand in mine." "Now, do it." "No, no." "Is that a grey hair I see?" "Tell me how to help her." "Oh, there is no way." "I lied." "Oh, yes, there is." "I read all about it in one of Dr. Stern's books." "You don't know what you're talking about." "It seems that if an alchemist returns to his true age.." "..his victims become young again." "You're crazy." "[intense music]" "This is the way I was before." "How did you do this?" "Your blood should've made me young forever." "I never said it was my blood." "His blood's still in the cooler." "Then whose?" "Nathan Steeps." "Remember my grandson Justin?" "You killed him." "You had this all planned." "[Adrian grunting]" "Nobody gets this." "No!" "No!" "[intense music]" "[theme music]"
