"[Announcer] 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." "Remember me?" "You did this?" "I thought you were going back to your own planet." "There was a revolution." "All the aristocrats were killed, slaughtered by farmers and shopkeepers." "I'm the only one left." " I'm not going to fight..." " I wouldn't ask you to." "I need you to help me stay alive." "Will you?" "They won't be happy until I'm dead, too." "They sent a creature after me." "That's why I made this, to contact you." "[sighs] Well, it's better than tearing up the street." "Much." "But if I could find you so easily so could... that." "[growling]" "[roars]" "Ready?" "[grunts]" "He's ice cold, but we didn't hit him hard enough to..." "What are you doing?" "Leaving." "But you can't go home." "And I can't stay with you either." "We've been through that before." "If you were going to hurt me, you would have done it already." " I don't want to hurt you." " Not this time." " We're no longer rivals." " We never were." "You're right." "We never were." "But we do have other things in common, like character, strength, courage." "You were willing to sacrifice yourself last time I was here." "I admire that." "That's why I came to you." "We don't have anything in common." "Wait." "I'm alone." "All alone." "I need someone I can trust." "What about your own planet, the other aristocrats?" "I can't go back." " You have to help me." " "Have to"?" "Please." "[man] It's almost too easy." "All I had to do was look into her transporter's frequency." "We always knew finding her wouldn't be the problem." "Yes, unfortunately killing her will be." "This sure wasn't in my job description." "Clark, is this why you signed up with the bureau?" "Well, there were a few things I wanted to get to the bottom of." "Once we decontaminate this thing, we oughta lay it right on Jackson's desk." "He'd still think it was a hoax." "You've been at that window all day, haven't you?" "They're all gone." "Everybody I ever knew." "Murdered by animals." "If they acted that way, maybe that's how they were treated." "Maybe they were." "This is a new place, a new world, filled with new people." " They're all commoners." " So?" "I'm one." "And you said you admired my courage." "They'll be others." "[chuckles]" "Come on, you're coming with me." "[rock music playing]" "They're all so... happy." "Why shouldn't they be?" "[scoffs] Why?" "Because they're lives are petty and meaningless." "They may not be as strong as you, but they have the same emotion." "Can I buy you ladies a drink?" "[scoffs] I'm not thirsty." "You're not making this easy, you know." "Why should it be easy?" "She'd love a drink, and I'll just have a soda." "Be right back." "It wouldn't hurt to be a little more friendly." "It wouldn't help either." "[sighs] Don't be so sure, I think he likes you." "But he's... a commoner." " Give him a chance." " Why?" "Well, maybe because I gave you one." "[sighs] [man] Well, there is one good thing about being a plumber, there's always plenty of work." "So what do you do?" "[Lana] I'm working on an internship with a government agency." "And you?" "An executive maybe?" "I... don't work." "Rich?" "She's looking for work." "She's new here." "New?" "Where you from?" "Uh..." "A lot of places." "I know what you mean, I've traveled around a lot myself." "It's tough..." "settling in to a new place." " You miss your friends." " You do." "There's a way you can fix that, though." "There is?" "You can make..." "new friends." "Interested?" "Um, yeah, why don't you call us?" "I'll do that." "All right, go ahead." "Kill me." "[clears throat]" "Harmless to the touch, but when you focus it, that's a different story." "Think you're going to have any trouble getting her here?" "None whatsoever." "So what do you think?" "Definitely anthropoidal." "Some kind of mutant?" "Maybe, but not terrestrial." "What's the chance of this being a hoax?" "No hoax." "[chuckles]" " Clark." " Hi, Lana." "It's safe to come in, he's already been decontaminated." "No thanks." "Are you going to be done with this in time for dinner?" "Assuming you still wanna eat?" "Yeah, but are you sure it's such a good idea?" "Clark, she's got nowhere else to go, and this guy we met seems really nice." "I just want her to feel like she has a home here." "[Clark] I'm just worried about you." "[Lana] I'll be fine." "She's different now, all she wants to do is fit in." "[growls]" "Here's the address and don't be late, OK?" "Am I ever?" "[growls]" "I talked to him on the phone for two hours today." "Two hours?" "Ooh, you're giving a lot of your time to a plumber, aren't you?" "He doesn't always have to be a laborer." "What if he wants to be?" "Why would he want to do that?" "Maybe he likes it." "Well, how could he?" "The whole idea of this country is to let people be who they wanna be." "Nobody's born any better than anyone else." "We had a revolution over that." "So did we." " I'm sorry." " It's all right." "You just put it into perspective, that's all." "You have to accept people for what they are." "Especially if you want them to care about you." "Working kinda late, aren't you?" "I guess I just kinda lost track of time." "There's just something about this thing." "The aroma perhaps?" "Clark, there's something... [growling]" "[grunts]" "Clark!" "What are you, crazy?" "Um, I'm gonna go get some help." "[air rushing]" " Hi." " Hi." "Hello. [chuckles]" "Clark should be along any second." "I gave him the address." " Clark?" " My friend, remember?" "[sniffing] [air rushing]" "[grunts] [growling]" "Oh." "They're going to kill her." "Who?" "The ones from her planet." "You were trying to help her?" "I love her." "I'm sure Clark will be here any minute." "Of course, he may not show up at all." "That would be a tragedy." "You know, I should just leave." "I hope you guys won't be too disappointed." "I'll show you to the door." "I guess you won't be." "By the way, if Clark shows up, will you tell him to meet me at the club?" "Will do." "Thank you." "Could you pour me some more wine, please?" "Not so superior anymore, are you?" "You're one of them?" "Yes." "One of them." "Slaves to your kind." "Dirt under your feet." "But I found your weakness, didn't I?" "[inhales] Finish it." "If it makes up for what we did to you... do it." "[growling]" "[growling]" " It saved me." " He loved you." "It died for me?" "The creature was dead all along, I gave it life." "What are you?" "This... this is all I am." "I was exploring your planet when I first saw you." "I chose this body because of its strength." "That is what you worship, isn't it?" "Strength?" "Brutality?" "I used to." "But no longer." " Where are you going?" " It doesn't matter now." "No."
