"(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." "[no audio] [music continues]" "Yes!" "That was the ranger from up in the national park." "You know those calls that's been coming in about a UFO?" " You mean the media." " Whatever it is." "Some pilots think they spotted it in a remote wilderness area." " I'm going there now." " Well, that's great." "I'll come with you, if you need a help." "You'll stay here and answer the phone." "Uh, Mr. Jackson, there's someone here to see you." "May I help you?" "Yeah, I want you to get your investigative staff together." " What?" "Who are you?" " Your superior." "[gasps]" "You're Joseph Flynn." " Welcome to our humble office." " Just do it." "Uh, Lou, Alexis, Margaret, my office." "Matt, you too." "But I was just on my way out." "Uh, what about these two?" "They do investigative work sometimes." "I said your investigative staff." "Yes, of course, sorry." "You two, my office." "People, I would like to introduce you" "Sit down." "I can tell them who I am." "My name is Joseph Flynn, and this is my partner, Mr. Stuart." "And we're here from the head office." "The reason we're here is, someone in this room is hiding something which in time could prove to be a breach in national security." "[intense music]" "Now, wait a minute." "My people would never" "Your people?" "I wouldn't be so sure about that." "Any administrator that would let a thing like this get past him needs to be replaced and I intend to do just that." "Now, sit down." "We already know which one of you it is." "But, uh, we're more interested in finding out where the rest of your allegiances lie." "So for the next couple of days we're going to be interviewing you individually." "So I suggest you place your loyalties to one another aside." "Because the person you're sitting next to.." "...could be harboring a very dangerous secret." "[intense music]" "What did you tell him?" "You were in there over an hour." "I didn't even mention your name." "Now, get off my back." "Flynn's only been here few hours and everybody's totally paranoid." "It's almost as if there's something in the air." "Maybe it's justified." "Miss Lang." " Oh, Matt." " What?" " Did you take the UFO file?" " Listen, the ranger called." "One of the search parties just found the object the pilot saw." "And it's definitely an alien craft." "I knew it!" "What else?" "There were humanlike footprints leading away from it." "And they're tracking them?" "Well, they can't." "The dogs can't get a scent." " Why wouldn't there be a scent?" " I don't know." "That's weird." "I wish I could get outta here and find out what's happening." "Yeah, I know what's that like." "I wonder what happened to that file." "So you and your friend out there are interns?" " That's correct." " Mm-hmm." "College girl, huh?" "I bet you're getting quite a bit of experience for someone so young." "Yeah, I-I've learned a lot from Matt Ritter and Mr. Jackson." "I wasn't referring to your work." " What were you referring to?" " Oh, come now, Miss Lang." "A young...attractive woman, such as yourself.." "What does that have to do with your investigation?" "I just wanna know everything there is to know about you." "You know all you're gonna know unless you start acting like a professional." "I know about your reputation." "What reputation?" "Well.." "A lot of things come out in these interviews." "I don't believe you." "Don't play coy with me, Miss Lang." "You see, I've learned...where there's smoke, there's fire." "Don't ever put your clammy hands on me again." "[indistinct chattering]" "Are you okay?" "Did you say something to Flynn about me?" "No." "Why?" "Are you hiding something, Lana?" "No." "Are you?" "Somebody is." "What about you, Ritter?" "You were in there an awfully long time." "You spill your guts about the rest of us?" " Spill my guts?" " Hey, listen." "[all clamoring]" "Things are progressing rather nicely." "(Matt) I was there a long time trying not to say a word.." "I think you're pushing them a bit too hard." "I don't care what you think." "I'm the one in charge." "How about you, Clark?" "You're always sneaking around." "Yeah, disappearing for hours at a time." "Taking long lunches." "Where do you go?" "Probably selling secrets to the Russians." "Oh, no, you idiot." "It's the Japanese now." "Wait a minute!" "This isn't like us." "Something's wrong." "We're friends." "We'll probably find out this whole thing was a big mistake." "Or maybe they'll find the one they're looking for." "And then we'll all be on the news looking like those people that say.." "..."I worked with him for years."" "I can't imagine he'd do anything like that." "I for one, hope they nail him...or her." "Mr. Kent." "[intense music]" "I bet you were wondering when I'd get around to you." "No." "I figured my turn would come." "Mm-hmm." "I kept you till last until I found out what everyone else knew." "About what?" "Oh, you know." "Question is, are you going to tell me or do I force you?" "Maybe you could tell me what you're looking for, so.." "...so I don't waste your time." "Oh, don't worry about me." "I have all the time in the world." "This wouldn't be about, uh..." "Superboy?" "What do you think?" "Well, it's just that it's hard to believe that Superboy could be the cause for a breach in national security." "How or why there is a problem is not your concern." "You just tell me what you know." "You better get out here." "[indistinct chattering]" "What is going on here?" "Margaret's threatening to kill herself." "Stay away from me." "I'll jump." "Margaret, what's this all about?" " They know." " They know what?" "They know about my affair." "They're gonna tell my husband." " That's not what this is about." " They're trying to get me." " But I won't let them." " Margaret." "[screaming]" " Jeepers!" " Get an ambulance." "Can't anyone stop this?" "[intense music] [thunder rumbling]" "[music continues]" "Mr. Flynn." "[music continues]" "Yes, The Bureau Of Extra-Normal Matters." "101 North Siegel, 6th floor." "I think there's been a murder." "[elevator bell rings]" "And I think the killer's still in the building." "Send help." "[dramatic continues]" "Charlie, did you see someone just come down the elevator?" "No, siree." "What's up?" "I think the person coming down just killed someone." "Lana." "What were you doing upstairs?" " Talking to Flynn." "Why?" " But Flynn's dead." "(Matt) Hello, bureau." "This is Matt Ritter." "What's going on?" "Someone killed Flynn in your office." "Belted him with your paperweight." "Looks like your jobs safe after all." "You implying something?" "No one goes in there until homicide and forensics get here." "(Matt) Well, look, you have the number here." "So call me back." "Right." "Thanks." "[sighs]" "That was my ranger friend." "They've spotted three maybe four sets of tracks." "The bad news is, they've lost the trail at the city's edge." "The aliens could be anywhere in Capitol City." "Someone's giving you a line of bull." "If they were here, why hasn't anyone seen 'em?" "I don't know." "But there's something else." "The search party just spotted a second UFO." "And the tracks from it are following the first ones." "I would kill to get up there." "[intense music]" "Oh, you know what I mean." "Nobody's going anywhere." "A man's been murdered and every one of you had a motive." "That's why I called you all back here tonight." "Flynn could have been killed by anyone." "A burglar." "Mm-hmm." "Except when I got back to my hotel room this evening" "I had a message from him." "He said that one of you was out to kill him." "There's an entry in Flynn's datebook for 9 o'clock this evening." "Minutes before the body was found." "What's the entry?" "9:00 p.m., meet L.L." "L.L., huh?" "Oh, come on." "You don't think I did it?" "Why don't we go over your story.." "...one more time?" "There's not much else to tell." "(Lana narrating) As I stepped out of the elevator" "I saw Clark running into the stairwell." "I was going to call to him but he was already gone." "So I went in to talk to Flynn." "I wanted to just clear up our earlier misunderstanding." "About earlier, I'm sorry if I was out of line." "I found him in the bureau and I told him" "I needed to talk to him." "But he refused." "He went into his office and closed the door." "You said you saw him running toward the stairwell." "But you said earlier that he was already dead when you.." "...ran out." "Well.." "Maybe it wasn't me that she saw." "Maybe it was the murderer." "Come on, people." "Someone must have seen something." "Someone coming or going." "Anybody hanging around outside." "Wait a minute, there was something." "What?" "When I checked out with the guard downstairs, I noticed.." "...that Lou hadn't checked out yet." "I thought that was strange since I knew" "I was the last one to go." "What's the big deal?" "I just forgot to sign out." "Forgot?" "I've been here for 20 years and not once has Charlie ever let me get by without signing in or out." "L.L. Lou Lamont." "You were the one in the appointment book at 9 o'clock." "He must have come back after I did." "And killed him." "Earlier I heard you tell Dennis that someone had belted Flynn with his paperweight." "How did you know what the murder weapon was?" " You're sweating, Lou." " He's been doing that all day." "Listen, I didn't kill him." "Sure, I came back to talk to him." "But it was because I wanted to talk to him...privately." "(Lou narrating) I waited in the building until I was sure everyone had left." "[elevator bell rings]" "I heard the elevator and knew someone was coming so I figured I'd get blamed and I hid." "(Clark) Mr. Flynn." "[intense music]" "I was going to the lobby, but then I remembered the guard." "So I got off in the second floor and waited for the police and the rest of you to arrive." "Then I came back up." "But I tell ya, I didn't do it." "Why did you wanna talk to Flynn?" "Oh, I knew who you guys were looking for." "I'd been taking home office supplies for years." "Nothing big, just pencils and stuff." "Used to do it all the time when I worked at the newspaper." "You can't trust him." "He's the criminal type." "You can tell just by looking at him." "Listen.." "I'm not going to jail for something I didn't do." "Lou, don't be stupid." "I know it's you two." "(Lou) Clark, Lana." "I know you're both lying 'cause I was there." "He was dead when I arrived." "They must have killed him." "(Alexis) They're probably after our jobs." "They are always trying to get field work." "Sometimes even my field work." "Well, it couldn't have been me." "He was alive when I was there." "Someone else must have killed him when I left." "I don't know why you keep saying that." "He was definitely dead when I saw him." "What're you saying, Clark?" "That I am lying?" "Is that what you're saying?" "That you think Lana's lying?" "No, I would never say that." "About any of us." " I could." " So could I." "Lou, I don't know what it is that's making us all act so paranoid." "But we have to fight it." "We've been together long enough to realize that none of us is capable of doing the things that we've been accused of." "But we can't all be telling the truth." "Oh, no?" "Well, listen to this." "(Clark narrating) Flynn must have set everything up in advance." "He assumed Lou would find the body when he came in for his 9 o'clock meeting." "Mr. Flynn." "But he didn't count on me coming back too." "And this is where the plan went wrong." "Flynn knew he had to cancel my 911 call quickly." "Yes, operator, you just received a call from The Bureau Of Extra-Normal Matters?" "It was by accident." "What he also didn't count on was Lana showing up." "Mr. Flynn?" "About earlier, I'm sorry if I was out of line." "He knew he had to get rid of her." "I don't want to talk about it now, leave me alone." "Lou took the elevator down to the second floor like he said." "It came back up...and Lana took it down to the lobby where Charlie and I were waiting." "Why would Flynn fake his own murder?" "I don't know." "Unless of course he wanted all this to happen." "Your whole story falls apart on one little point." "The man had no pulse." "You said so yourself." "No pulse." "No heat." "No heat." "No scent." "The dogs couldn't pick up the alien scent because.." "...you don't have a pulse." " Let go of me." " Ice cold." " They're aliens?" " They have to be." "Including these two policemen." "Which is why Flynn canceled the 911 call." "They knew we're the only one's keeping record of their arrival." "They came here to hold up the investigation." "Maybe alter the records." "Eliminate some files." "Which means they're interested in covering their own tracks." "Right." "Maybe because they're on the run." "Which would explain the presence of the second UFO." "I knew you people were good." "But not this good." "[intense music]" "You couldn't have figured all that out on your own." "We had help." " But we won't say who." " Who was it?" "Come on, the other ship's already landed." "Let's just get out of here." "Alright, let's go." "You must have said something." "Not him again." "I suggest that you stop right there." "Come on, there's four of us and one of him." "I like those odds." "[crackling]" "(Flynn) Get off of me." "Why'd you do it, huh?" "Couldn't you take the pressure?" "I told you everything would be fine if we just kept cool" "I didn't do anything." "It must have been one of them." "He did it!" "What are you pushing me for?" "Don't push me." "They didn't do it!" "[all grunting]" "We're looking for four escaped prisoners." "I've been expecting you." "You're from the second ship." "We followed them here." "We just want to return them to where they belong." "First you've to tell me, how did they do it?" "How did they make everyone so paranoid?" "We generate emotions the way you humans generate heat." "In this case, the emotion was paranoia." "I hope they didn't cause you too much trouble." "No." "Not as much as they caused themselves." "They just needed a little time together." "[theme music]" "[music continues]"
