"Well, nice car." "Engine's good." "Consider the debt paid in full." "[Superboy laughs]" "Does Superboy have bad days too, Dad?" "[man] Lana." "[screams]" "Don't scream." "Don't scream." "I just want your help." "I'm not Luthor." "I'm Superboy." "You're out of your mind." "No it's my body I'm out of." "Just give me two minutes, then you can walk away." "Lana, you've gotta trust me." "Trust?" "That's ironic coming from you." "I need you to listen to me." "But I'm not gonna force you." "Two minutes, then I scream." "Fair enough." "There was this experiment." "I wanted to find out where I came from." "A doctor, Dr. Deland." "He used to work with Professor Peterson." "He said that he could help me." "We were in his lab." "Every memory makes a molecular imprint," "If I can scan them with electron beams, we might be able to get all the way down to your earliest memories." "Maybe find out where you came from." "...and why I'm here." "Ready?" "Now, close your eyes, and start counting backwards." "From a hundred." "100...99...98 ...97....96... [breathing]" "Dr. Deland?" "[laughter]" "You are indeed a genius." "I'm not in this for an ego massage." "We agreed to a sum of money." "Not until I get your notes on and the plans for this thing." "How can I be sure I'll get my money." "Take my word for it." "Getting money's never gonna be a problem for me again." "[laughter]" "Perhaps it's time our chrome-dome friend finally made his date with the electric chair." "They tricked me using my past as bait." "And I swallowed the hook." "Are you done?" "Is this the part where you let me just walk away?" "Lana, all I need you to do is go and see if Deland is still there." "I can't go myself." "If the police catch me..." "You'll get what you deserve." "No, you've got to believe... [man] Hey." "What are you doing?" "He's hurting me." "No." "No problem, sir." "Are you all right, ma'am?" "Yeah." "That's Lex Luthor." "He's wanted..." "You sure you're OK?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "Did Luthor have a gun or anything?" "Unh uh." "Did he try to take you away with him?" "No." "Doesn't sound like Luthor." "I know, but..." "Who else could it have been?" "I'm gonna go tell Jackson about this." "You sure you're OK?" "Had to have been him." "Lana." "You seen Clark." "I got some print outs for him." "I'll take 'em." "Sent me a note." "He's not feeling very well." "Whoa." "Who's that?" "It's nobody." "Pretty impressive credentials for a nobody." "PHD in physics and bio-engineering." "Tenured position at Shuster." ""...was forced to resign for unstated reasons." "Does this have something to do with Luthor?" "I don't, I don't think so." "Good." "Leave Luthor to Superboy." "Lex, Lex..." "Lex come on this isn't funny." "Put me down." "What's my name?" "All right." "It's Superboy." "Superboy." "I like the sound of that." "So, what are you gonna do now?" "I mean take over the world or something." "[shrieks]" "Maybe." "I don't want anyone to start believing Luthor when he says he's in the wrong body." "So why don't you just get rid of him?" "Just like that?" "Not a chance." "I want him to feel what it's like to be me." "Humiliated, persecuted." "Despised." "Then I'm gonna see to it that he gets exactly what's coming to me." "[laughter]" "Oh Lex." "I mean why wait for that?" "Do it now." "You know?" "Business before pleasure." "You may have a point there." "So um, you're gonna do it now?" "I just said I was." "And Superboy never lies." "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to frighten you." "That's all right." "I've been hoping to see you." "Me too." "I saw Lex, this morning." "Luthor." "Did he hurt you, or..." "No, no." "He didn't hurt me." "He only wanted to talk to me." "Talk to you." "About what?" "Nothing." "Lana, whatever he says, you shouldn't listen to him." "You have to trust me." "Will you do that?" "Trust." "Like always." "Because there's something more important I want to talk to you about." "Our relationship." "I've been thinking, maybe it's time that we should deepen it." "Bring it to another level of meaning." "Um..." "What's wrong?" "I'm just not used to you acting this way." "We all have our week moments." "Here's where I'm staying." "For when you have one of your weak moments." "It's important that you trust me, Lana." "You're the one who's always known me best." "Trust me?" "[wheezing]" "Freeze." "[gunshots fired]" "[glass shattering]" "Doesn't this guy ever exercise." "Hello, Luthor." "[laughter]" "I'm not, Luthor." "You know this is all a terrible mistake." "Yeah, you're the one who made it when you took on Superboy." "Why doesn't somebody talk to Dr. Deland." "He can tell them..." "Deland is dead." "Died on the way to the hospital." "What are you doing?" "Letting you out so they can take you to the State Prison." "What for?" "'Cause that's where the electric chair is." "This is all a mistake." "Lex, get in." "Lana." "Get in." "You shouldn't be doing this." "Are you crazy?" "I'm helping you." "But you're breaking the law." "[Lana] Now I know you're Superboy." "What made you finally believe me?" "I knew you'd never come on to me like that." "Like what?" "Here it is." "I think he put 'em in here." "Here's his notes." "And the blueprints for the machine." "We can rebuild it." "What's wrong?" "Think about it." "About what?" "About everything we have to do." "Going up against somebody with my with his powers." "Listen to me." "You think the only thing that makes you a hero is your powers?" "You said so yourself." "When you could have run and maybe escaped, you stayed and tried to help Deland." "That's what being a hero really means." "It's not what you are, it's who you are." " Lana, there's no way..." " Yes, there is." "You're in Luthor's body." "All you have to do is stop thinking like him." "Convicted killer Lex Luthor escaped from jail late today while being transferred from a maximum security prison where he faced execution." "Police say that they are following up leads, but admit to having no real evidence as to his whereabouts." "Lex." "[laughing]" "It's better than remote control." "So, what now?" "What do you mean, what now?" "It's even better this way." "Let him taste freedom one more time." "That way when he's in the chair, it'll hurt even more." "[knocking]" "Be a good little girl and go wait in the other room." "Why?" "Who is it?" "It's business." "Lana." "What a surprise." "I decided you were right." "It is time to take our relationship to a deeper level." "I'm glad." "Won't you come in?" "Hello, Luthor." "Oh, I get it." "A trap." "And how you gonna take me in?" "Cuffs?" "That doesn't matter." "You killed Dr. Deland for no reason." "No reason?" "I'm insulted." "I'm truly insulted." "Deland was the only one who knew about our little switcheroo." "And he was the only one who could switch us back." "And so you killed him." "Of course I killed him." "But I had a reason." "And now you'll pay." "And what pray tell could that be, but the dreaded Kryptonite?" "You got it." "Ah!" "You have to wake up pretty early in the morning to beat Superboy." "Get him." "I'm trying to think of which one of my super powers to use." "That's it." "It's his favorite." "This is great." "[screams]" "You mustn't do this." "With his demented mind and my powers he'll turn the world into a he's got to be stopped." "Frankly, I don't see the problem." "I mean it's pretty obvious who's who here, Luthor." "He's Luthor." "Sure he is." "Do you want to do the honors?" "Sir?" "Pull the switch." "I, I, I couldn't." "It's only fitting." "The governor will be here any minute." "He could still change his mind." "You'd be doing the world a service." "Well, if you put it that way." "You have to listen to this." "Deland was the only one who knew about our only switcheroo." "And so you killed him." "Of course I killed him." "[door slams]" "Let's do it." "Did it work?" "No." "No." "No." "No, no, no, no!" "[screaming] No!" "We did it." "All you've proven is that brains are better than brawn." "Which means I can beat you." "You better hurry." "Once that chair is rewired, you're gonna be it's first guest." "You'd better watch your back my friend." "I'm not dead yet."
