"[groaning]" "I knew he'd run." "Figuratively speaking, of course." "He won't be coming back either." "This thing blankets the city with ultra high-frequency sound." "[laughing] He won't be able to." "Looks like Capitol City is our own personal candy jar, eh, pal?" "Yeah...pal." "No, it isn't." "Not yet." "Superboy has to die first." "That's why I brought you together." "And, it has to be slow.." "...and painful." "Are you sure, you want her?" " Hm, with all of my heart." " You don't have a heart." "I got everything else." "Ugh!" "[pleasant music] [heavy metal music on radio]" "[music continues] [buzzing]" "[knocking on door]" "[lowering volume]" "(Lana) Hello?" "Clark?" "What are you doing here?" "I got to thinking about what you were saying and.." "...it made a lot of sense." "Sit." "I had figured you'd come around." "Did you hear what Superboy did?" "Yeah, I heard." "He did the right thing." "Leaving Capitol City?" "I'm not so sure." "After all he has done" "I think it's about time he let the police do their job." "Yeah." "I assume that unless your parents have acquired a taste for loud heavy metal music, they're not at home?" "They were gone when I got here." "They were going to the State capital for few days." "Because of what's been happening in town, right?" " What's been happening?" " You don't know?" "Huh, well, allow me to show you." "It has been unbelievable." "It is fantastic." "I got tourists coming in from the Midwest." "The locals are lining up." "The place is going crazy." "It's gonna be another Vegas." " You watch me." " No, it's not." "Not if I can help that." "Excuse me." "Do I know you?" "Lana Lang." "I used to live here." "Bill Trenton." "I think you have me confused with somebody else." "No, no." "You're responsible for this." "If by this you mean revitalizing Smallville's economy then, yes, I'm responsible." "No, I mean, turning it into a cesspool." "Look." "Ha-ha-ha, Lana." "I know the concerns of the locals and I'm gonna respect them." "Everything is totally up and up." "Everything is totally above void here, okay?" "There is even a $100 a day limit." "Nobody's gonna get burned here." "What about the bars, topless clubs and X-rated theaters you wanna build?" "We've been to the city planners" "Alright." "Hold it." "Wait a second, okay?" "This place would be a ghost town." "Nothing but foreclosed farms and families on welfare." "The town needed money fast, this is how you get it." "There are other ways." "Hey, Miss Lana?" "What's it to you?" "You don't even live here anymore, do you?" "[shot gun firing] [people screaming]" "[shot gun firing]" "They stole my money." "Every cent of it." "[shot gun firing]" "Listen, pal." "We've had this discussion and you take care of this thing quick." "Don't make me do something you're gonna regret, clear?" "Roy, put the gun down." "You're all crooks." "They ain't crooks." "You just don't know beans about poker, that's all." "Now put the gun down before somebody gets hurt." "I'll tell you who's gonna get hurt." "My family!" "[dramatic music]" "(Roy) I gotta mortgage due." "Why don't you tell me where my family is gonna go, huh?" "[Superboy theme music]" "You stay away from me." "You don't wanna do that." " I've lost everything." " It isn't worth it." "It's only a few hundred dollars." "Few hundred?" "Try a few thousands." "They have limits." "Every place has got limit." "When you hit it in one place, the next place will be happy to take it to the limit again." "Around $6000 in two weeks." "Roy, they were wrong." "But this isn't the way" "This is the only way." "[shot gun firing]" "[sighs] [people applauding]" " Bye." " Wait!" "How long are you gonna be staying here?" "I don't know." "You're not going back to Capitol City, are you?" " I have to." " No. you don't." "Well, you know me better than that." "What if I had told you I'd be staying here." "Are you?" "Would it change anything?" "I gotta go." "He's gonna ruin everything." "I gotta do something." "Listen, after what just happened maybe, you should think about closing up for a while." "Maybe you should think about finding another job." "If you can't handle things around here" "I'm gonna have to find someone who can." "[people chattering]" "[dramatic music]" "What a dump!" "[dramatic music]" "[Rock music playing on radio]" "[knocking on door] [knocking on door]" "Clark?" "Clark!" "[music continues]" "I don't remember you listening to that kind of music." "I don't remember you ever coming into someone's house without knocking first, but here you are." "Luthor and Odessa are here." "We have to warn Superboy, make him leave Smallville." "He ran from them once." "He won't do it again." "How do you know?" "How do you know what he's thinking?" "It's logical." "Where's he gonna go?" "Where ever he goes, they're gonna follow him." "This has got to end here!" "[utensils clanking]" "Clark." "All we have to do is give them time." "What?" "Luthor, Metallo, Odessa." "They're egomaniacs, psychotics." "They'll turn on each other sooner or later." "What if it's later?" "Clark, you should know them by now." "[sighs]" "(Lana) What?" "What is it?" "The ripples in the water." "They're like sound waves." "So?" "(Clark) The ripple from is interfering with the ripple from the first." "It's like sound." "One set of sound waves could cancel out the other." "You know you are absolutely right." "You've gotta go and warn Superboy." "Okay." "Wh-wh-where will I find them?" "I don't know." "He's gotta be around somewhere." "Okay." "What are you gonna be doing?" "Oh, never mind." "I'm gonna take a stand." "[dramatic music]" "Can't do it, Lana." "Why can't you just go down there and arrest him?" "It's better if you just stay out of it." "For who?" "Not for Superboy." "For Smallville." "Don't get yourself in the middle of this." "I'm not in the middle." "You just need to pick a side." "[car horn honking]" "Yoo-hoo!" "Yippee!" "Howdy, partner?" "[buzzing] [high-pitched buzzing]" "[dramatic music]" "[music continues]" "You go first." " I thought that all of us" " You soften him up." "We'll be right behind you." "Better be." "You should have kept running." "[laughing] [laughing]" "I knew it." "What do I need you for, huh?" "[laughing]" "Oh!" "Oh-oh." "Oh, no!" "[screaming]" "[buzzing]" "[high-pitched buzzing] [buzzing recedes]" "What happened?" "I bet he's got another tone generator." "So?" "You play back a tone slightly out of phase with itself and the two pitches cancel each other out." "So that means.." "[laser beam sputtering] [blasts]" "John?" "John, let me in!" "John?" "[glass shatters]" "I knew you could do it." "Don't go back." "Lana, I can't hide anymore." "Neither of us can." "Nowhere is safe." "Not even here." "We have to fight them wherever they are." "[melodramatic music]" "[grunts]" "[dramatic music]" "[music continues]" "Lousy two-timer." "[gasps]" " Did you get it?" " Of course." "[suspires] [buzzing] [groaning]" "[switches clicking]" "What are you waiting for?" "Nothing." "There he is." "Finish him off!" "[chuckling]" "If you think that I'm gonna turn my back on you you're outta your mind." " What's the matter?" " What's the matter!" "Ask her what's the matter?" "She's the one who made a deal with Superboy." "What are you talking about?" "I saw you and him." "You couldn't have." "She probably figured that we couldn't take him out so, she cut herself a deal." " You're crazy!" " Ha-ha-ha." "I'm crazy, am I?" "Ha-ha-ha, crazy!" "I'm going to show you crazy." "[maniacal laughter] That's crazy." "[choking]" "Oh no!" "Not again." "Armor-plated cheese head." "And now...for the main course." "Lex!" "[laughing]" "Does it hurt?" "Do we have a little ear-ache, hm?" "I wonder if you even hear me?" "Gee, I hope you can because these are gonna be the last words you'll ever hear." "or see, is the case, maybe." "[laughing]" "Looks like you can do with little help from your friends." "[screaming]" "[dramatic music]" "You are the one Metallo saw with Superboy." "Sooner or later you would have fought amongst yourselves." "You just needed a little help, that's all." "[buzzing]" "[grunting and groaning]" "[grunting]" "[blasts]" "[dramatic music]" "[theme music]" "[music continues]"
