"[theme music plays]" "[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." "[man] Aww." "[man chuckles]" "Fifteen years." "You really get to know somebody in that time." "So, when Fran came into my office to tell me that she was going to leave the bureau to get herself a PhD, I had a very natural question for her..." "Who the hell are you?" "So, in order to answer that question, I have made a very thorough study of Fran's life, and I will now share it will all of you." ""Fran was born..." "[coughs] ...years ago." "On a small farm in Georgia." "Her parents were poor." "Very, very poor." "How poor were they?" "How poor were they?" "They were so poor they couldn't pay attention." "[man chuckles]" "Pay attention." "[TV news plays]" "So, at the age of 17, Fran began to explore unexplained phenomena's." "[TV reporter] ...the pair knocked the bailiff unconscious, and got away from the courthouse with his gun as well as the gun of another bailiff." "Police have blocked off a 12 block section of the downtown area and are searching door to door..." "Another beer, pal?" "Yeah, give me another one." "What about your friend here?" "He'll be out in a minute, ask him then." "OK." "One beer coming up." "Who are those people over there?" "They're regulars." "They work down the street." " How late do they usually stay?" " Ten or eleven." "They're real party animals." "[man] ...it was so hot." "How hot was it?" " [siren wails]" " It was so hot, the door was open." " What's the matter?" " Nothing." "[man] She was so ugly." "Forgive me, Fran, forgive me for saying this." "When Fran was born, she was so ugly, the doctor slapped her mother." "[laughing]" " Hands up!" " [screams] [man] Hands up!" "Get your hands up." "Get your hands up!" " Freeze!" " [woman continues screaming]" "Shut her up!" "Now, didn't you hear what the man said?" "Hands up." "You're not going anywhere tonight." "Everybody sit down." "Shut up." "Nobody's going to get hurt." "Do you understand me?" "Your the ones that got away from the courthouse this morning." "You heard about that, did you?" "Well, maybe you can tell me what they're trying me for." "You know you're lucky." "I've got more important things on my mind." "You blew it." "All we had to do was sit here and wait the cops out." " He knew!" " He knew nothing!" "You panicked." "[stammering] What are we gonna do now?" "Same as before." "We'll wait 'em out here." "With our new friends." "[knocking]" "No." "You." "Get behind the bar." "Continue the party." "You." "Get the door." " Evening, officer." " Evening." "Why is the door locked?" "Well, we're having a private party." "Mind if I come in?" "Well, normally I wouldn't mind, but.... ...you see, the party's getting kind of crazy now, and they're getting ready to cut the cake, and you know, for a policeman to walk in..." "I don't care how drunk you are, I'm just trying to find a couple of escaped convicts." " You gonna let me in, or not?" " Just a minute." "[sings] For she's a jolly good fellow." "[all] For she's a jolly good fellow." "For she's a jolly good fellow." "Which nobody can deny." " See?" " [officer] Out of the way." "[man] Well, don't you need some kind of warrant?" "[officer] Warrant?" "[man] Well, I mean, this is a private business." "It's my understanding that law officers can't enter any private establishments without some kind of appropriate document signed by a judge." "All I want to do is just look..." "I don't know what else can go wrong tonight." "[sighs]" "What are we gonna do when he comes back?" "Same thing I was gonna do last time." "Excuse me." "There's another way out of here." "Yeah?" "The back door leads to some alleys, nobody ever uses them." "It's true." "These doors here." "Well, you better not be lying." "And I suppose you'll give me your word you won't call the cops the minute I'm gone." "We just want you out of here so that nobody gets hurt." "Yeah, sure." "Come on." "Ow!" "What's the matter?" "It's frozen!" "Must lead to a freezer or something." "You knew, didn't you?" "It wasn't any freezer." "You knew." "There's no need to get violent." "You want some of the same?" "Sit down!" "Don't try anything!" " Sit down!" " Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Leave him alone!" "Sure..." "I'll leave him alone." "A favor for a favor." "Right?" "Are you OK?" "Yeah, I just need a place to lie down." "Um... maybe I can go to the office for a few minutes." "You go with him." "And you make sure they can't get out." "[groans]" "I'll be OK, really." "Why don't you just rest, OK?" "She's right." "You might have some broken ribs." "I was a medic in the service." " I have no pain, really." " If you say so." "Wait!" "You know, you're not like your friend." "He's not my friend, he's..." "You're different from him." " That's not what the law says." " Please?" "Just leave the phone here." "[scoffs] What, are you crazy?" "You'll call the cops." "Yeah, I would, because I don't want to see anyone get hurt." "No one's going to get hurt." "Well, if you haven't noticed, your friend's a little psychotic." "We'll tell the police you cooperated." "Right." "Next thing you're gonna say is that I should trust ya." "The only way to get of here." "My lawyer said I should trust him." "So did the judge and the DA, they all use that word." "And I got six years for being in the wrong place at the wrong time." "For being stupid enough to trust people." "[groans]" "Lana, I could use a little rest, would you mind going back inside?" "Clark, this is our chance to get the police." "And besides, you might have internal injuries." "I'm not going to let you out of my sight for two seconds." "We could rush 'em." "What are you talking about?" "We've got to, who knows what they're gonna do to us." "Just sit tight, OK?" "We can take 'em." "It's worth a try." "Not if somebody gets killed." "I can't believe you." "Maybe somebody else will have the guts." "[sighs]" "You're never gonna break those bars." "Lana, if you would just let me get some rest for a few minutes." "Alone." "Why do you keep wanting me to go out there with those psychos?" "You know, you might have a concussion." "I don't want to let you fall asleep." "[sighs] Yeah, you're probably right." "Would you mind loosening my shoes?" "Sure." "[sniffs]" "Do you smell smoke?" "There's a fire extinguisher in the bar." "OK, I'll be back in two seconds." "That's all I need." "[knocking]" "I put the fire out." "What are you doing up?" "I feel much better." "Well, then you can get yourself out of here, now." "I don't think..." "The lady and I want to be alone." "I said get out of here." "[stammers] It's OK, Clark." "I'll be OK." "Lana, I'm not going." "I am not going to tell you again." "You won't have to." "[criminal] Perkins!" "Cops!" "We'll take care of this later." "[knocking]" "[Officer] Come on, open up." "All right, you." "Do a better job than you did last time." "Everything's OK in here." "[Officer] Really?" "Some shopkeeper down the block told me he saw two guys come in here..." "They're in here!" "Clark." "Clark!" "You could've been killed pulling a dumb stunt like that." "Well, I was an Eagle Scout once, you know." "Go ahead." "Start shooting, come on!" "First one going down is going to be this kid." "Much better." "Now you listen to me." "I want a half a million dollars in cash, and a helicopter." "You've got one hour." "You don't deliver, and I'm going to blow his brains out." "And if you don't think I will, just imagine how that's going to help my insanity plea." "So, get me what I want." "Or, you're going to be real surprised." "We should've heard by now." "Something's wrong." "They could be putting a deal together." "Are you sure you plugged that phone back in?" "Yeah, I'm sure." "Well, time sure is going by awfully slow." "You know that clock hasn't moved." "Would you do something?" "[clamoring]" "Look, I need the money out here within the next 15 minutes, all right?" "Just do it!" "Barker, how come they haven't got that hydrant fixed yet?" "The utility guys won't come out, Lieutenant." "Something about not wanting to get their heads blown off." "All right, what's the situation inside?" "It's Perkins and Cooper all right." "They've got about 10 hostages in there." "I've been negotiating with them." "Negotiating?" "That's not our policy." "Lieutenant, these men are killers." "All the more reason, Barker." "Just let me keep talking to them, all right?" "No!" "Lieutenant, they're expecting a call from me." "All right." "Well, maybe a call isn't such a bad idea." "It's not too late." "I'm in too deep." "No, you're not." "Not yet." "But you will be if he tries to kill me." "He won't kill ya." "We'll get what we're asking for." "And what if you don't?" "You sure he won't pull the trigger?" "You want that on your conscious?" "[phone rings]" "Answer it." "[ringing continues]" "[Barker] We need a little more time to put the money together." " They need more time." " How much time?" "How much more?" "Not a lot." "Most of the money is already assembled." "Not a lot." "It's got to be a clean shot." "[Lieutenant] Clean as a whistle." "Get down!" "[all screaming]" "[stammers] I saw the light from the lamppost." "Shining off the gun barrel." "And now, I warned them what would happen!" "Hold it!" "What?" "I'm giving myself up." "I'm taking these people with me." "Well, you're just going to go back to jail." "Better that than killing somebody." "Now, let him go." "I need him." "It's all or nothing." "Get them out." "I'm not leaving you with him." "Get as many people out as you can." "Yeah." "Get out of here." "I don't need you anyway." "[chattering]" "Clark..." "It's OK." "Go with them." "Well, looks like it's just you and me, kid." "It looks that way." "Come on... you're my ticket out of here." "I don't think so." "You don't think so?" "What the hell is that?" "Some kind of joke?" "The jokes on you, pal." "I've been waiting a long time for that." "[Barker] All right guys, lock and load, we're going in." "Police!" "Freeze!" "Nobody move!" "He slipped and knocked himself out." "What about the gunfire?" "He's the worst aim I've ever seen." " Cuff him!" " Come on!" "He's Superboy." "I saw it all." "Well, if you say so, I guess I must be." "He is Superboy." "I saw it with my own eyes." "Perkins, you'd say anything to cop an insanity plea." " Get him out of here!" " Come on!" "[Perkins] You are Superboy!" "I know that you are!" "Oh, Clark!" "Are you all right?" "Yeah, I'm OK." "But, would somebody untie me?"
