"(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." "[music continues]" "I guess I've.." "...always felt the need to dominate people." "To, um.." "..control them.." "...to prove my superiority." "(female #1) Why do you think that is?" "Why?" "(female #1) That's what we're here for, Lex." "To find answers." "Answers, hmm." "Okay." "How's this?" "I need to prove my superiority because, one, I am superior and two, the idiots I'm forced to deal with present company included, are usually too stupid to realize it." "Hence, the necessity for proof." "How's that answer?" "(female #1) Very good." "Very good." "Excellent!" "I'm pleased." "You're letting your anger out." "For a change." "No, no." "I'm serious, Lex." "We are making real progress." "Ha ha, yeah right." "Pretty soon I'll be sane enough for execution." "That is the law in this state." ""A prisoner must be sane, at the time of his execution."" "Ha, how hu-humane." "Ha." "And utterly futile." "You don't really think I'll be here long enough for them to execute me, huh?" "[chuckling] You'll escape, alright." "I don't have any doubt about that." "But you'll be caught again." "And then, I'll escape again." "Ad nauseam." "Unless you change the pattern." "I'm trying, doctor." "Please, I'm really trying." "By killing Superboy?" "We all have our crosses to bear." "You'll never be able to do it." "Unless you change." "You think, humanity is nothing more than.." "...a swarm of insects crawling around your feet." "Scum." "Vermin." "Head lice, actually." "No, toe jam." "But you need them, Lex." "At least, some of them." "Why?" "So you can do what you want to do." "What I want to do.." "Kill Superboy?" "Now, why, pray tell, would you encourage me on that endeavor?" "I have my reasons." "[Lex laughing] Oh, my, my, my!" "This is positively byzantine." "What sort of a doctor are you anyway?" "Just a humble civil servant.." "...who thinks you'll be well on your way to sanity.." "...if you just learned to cooperate with your fellow man." "Bring in the other patient, please." "[door opening]" "A little cooperation, can get you anything you want." "[intense music]" "I'd advise you to take this a little more seriously, Lex." "[laughing] Seriously?" "You tell me, the answer to my problems is to cooperate with my fellow man and then you roll in this Neanderthal hunk of junk." "On his best day, he was no more than a cheap thug." "Now, what could he possibly do for me?" "Hey, Metallo don't work for nobody." "Admittedly, this is going to take some adjustment." "But you are both here because of one person." "Oh, please!" "I'll take care of Superboy in my own time, in my own way." "And I'm certainly not about to share the glory with this armor-plated cheesehead." "Better get in line, chrome dome." "I think my hour is up." "Lex!" "Goodbye, doctor!" "I may be insane, but I'm not crazy." "[dramatic music]" "An alien that wanted to marry Superboy, and kill me a demon that tried to take our souls a gang that almost took over the city a werewolf, a gollum a couple of Satanists.." "...and a partridge in a pear tree." "Well, it's a living." "Ever wonder what it'd be like to have a normal life?" "Lana, you had a normal life in Smallville, and you hated it." "You were bored out of your skull." "That's why you came here." "So maybe I was wrong." "(male voice over P.A.) All inmates return." "Return to your cells, or measures will be taken." "[alarm blaring]" "Argh." "[alarm continues]" "What's that?" "Oh." "Oh, who cares." "Let me have it." "Oh, yeah." "Come to papa." "Yeah." "Whoa!" "This is better than I remember." "[alarm continues]" "[clanging] [alarm continues]" "Hmm." "Eh." "[glass shattering]" "Psst, hey." "Chrome dome, come here." "You want out, huh?" " Ow!" " Armor-plated cheesehead, huh?" "Not the better cheap thug?" "Well, what's that big fat brain of yours gonna do for you now?" "I was kidding." "Come on." "Open up." "We don't have much time." "No, no, no, that's not good enough." " What do you want?" " What do you think?" "I want you to suffer." "Metallo!" "No wait, come back!" "Metallo!" "[door creaks]" "Metallo?" "[dramatic music]" "Unh." "I miss the stars." "Huh?" "You can't see the stars here." "There's too much light and pollution." "Remember how many you could see in Smallville?" "I remember it." "Wanna give me a hand?" "Do you remember the time we took my father's telescope across the county line in the middle of the night?" "And we saw Venus, Mercury, the rings around Saturn." " Jupiter's moons?" " You got poison ivy." "Clark, come on." "Don't you miss home even a little?" "Of course I miss it." "But there's a time when you have to leave." "(Matt) Clark!" "Lana!" "There's a riot at State Prison." "Luthor and Metallo got out." "Looks like Superboy's gonna be busy for a while." " I hope not." " What do you mean?" "He's fought them before and they've almost killed him." "Yeah, but he beat them." "Never both at the same time." "[dramatic music]" "[theme music]" "Good morning." "Did it have a nice nap?" "[laughing] Hiya, pal." "Ey, easy, easy." "She went through a lot of trouble to set this up." "She?" "(Lex) Well, well, well." "The amazing doctor Vexman." "Tell me, is this your idea of play therapy?" "This is no game, Lex." "And I was serious when we talked about cooperation." "Mm-hmm, So was I." "Better hear the lady out." "I did." "What's in this for you?" "[chuckles]" "Oh." "I hope you have medical insurance." "What could possibly be worth...that?" "Superboy." "Ah." "How did I know that?" "And what do you have against Superboy?" "A long time ago" "A long time ago, what?" "A long time ago I knew him." "That's all." "Now, what's it going to be, Lex?" "(Vexman) He'll be flying." "All I have to do, is honk the horn, or flash the lights." "He'll catch you, too." "(Vexman) If I can't kill him." "I don't care what happens to me." "So...what about it?" "My way..." "or the highway?" "Kinda like the magnificent seven, huh?" "Ha, ha." "More like, Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein." "[dramatic music]" "Did Luthor's cell look like this?" "Nope." "Someone used a key on his." "Someone?" "Gotta figure, it was an inside job." "May I see your personnel files, please?" "Ah, we've already been through 'em." "Thought you might be interested in this one." "Doctor Vexman." "Prison psychologist." "She was counseling both, Luthor and Metallo and.." "...she didn't show up for work today." "Dr. Vexman." "Odessa Vexman." "(warden) You know her?" "I know her." "[crackling]" "What's taking you so long?" "If I explained it to you, you still couldn't understand." "What's that supposed to mean, huh?" "[chuckling] My point exactly." "You know, genius, nobody's ever quite as smart as they think they are." "My mother told me that." " Oh, really?" " Uh-huh." "Was that before.." "...or after she won the Nobel Prize?" "That's it." "I don't have to take this kinda treatment.." "Ah." "You want to kill each other?" "Go ahead." "Do it." "This wouldn't be reverse psychology, would it?" "Oh." "Ah ah ah." "Ain't smart to hit a lady." "Uh, hey." "Go ahead." "Be my guest." "All the trouble I went to, it's just wasted on you two." "Well, what're you waiting for?" "Do it!" "[sobbing]" "Oh, please!" "Cut me some slack!" "You really expect us to fall for these crocodile tears?" "Hmph!" "Dames." "Lana, where are you going?" "Oh, I just took a leave of absence." " What?" " It's okay." "It's only for a week or two." "Are you alright?" "Yeah." "I'm fine." "I just need to get away for a while." "To Smallville." "Uh, yeah." "Pretty obvious, huh?" " You wanna come with me?" " I-I can't." "They let me go." "I don't understand why they won't let you." "They would, but I wanted to wait and see what happens with Luthor and Metallo." "It's over." "They got away." "Now, it's up to the police." " Well, Superboy should" " No, he shouldn't!" "It's-it's out of his hands now, Clark." "I'll-I'll see you later." "If-if you change your mind, you'll know where I'll be." "Odessa Vexman." "The police think she may be involved in getting Luthor and Metallo out of prison." "I know." "I heard it on the news." "Hell hath no fury." "What does that mean?" ""Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."" "Well, it means" "I know." "I was wondering what it has to do with this." "Remember how Odessa was working for the guy who was gonna let that virus loose a few years back?" "Yeah, Superboy stopped him." "But he wouldn't be able to if Odessa hadn't switched sides to help him." "I know." "She was acquitted of all charges." "Always wondered, why she did that." "[chuckling] Clark, you are" "Matt...you don't think that.." "Superboy didn't lead her on." "He didn't want her to think" "That doesn't matter." "It's how she felt about him that's the problem." "But how could that be his fault?" "That doesn't make any sense." "That sort of thing seldom does." "[pleasant music]" "[indistinct chatter]" "[music continues]" "Hello!" " Jim?" " Lana!" "What're you doing here?" "I-I just took a few weeks off." "It's great to see ya again." "I figured, hell would freeze over before you'd come back." "Well, you never know." "Um, can I ask you something?" "Is that what I think it is?" "Yeah, it's a poker parlor." "Isn't that illegal?" "Well, you know how bad the economy's been around here." "Lot of farms were failing'." "Well, this developer just came into town." "A Mr. Trenton." "Said if we legalize gamblin' it'd help build the town up." "He just opened this place and he's got a couple of others on the edge of town." "He's really turning' the place around." "He's turning it into a sewer." "Ha, you sound like some of the old people." "Lana, this is what the town wants now." "[explosion] [dramatic music]" "[lady screaming]" "[explosion]" " Odessa!" " Superboy, my old friend." "You and I were never friends." "Except when you needed something from me." "You helped me because it was the right thing to do." "I helped you because" "Because you wanted something from me." "Maybe." "But now, there's only one thing I want." "Hiya, pal!" "You and me got some history, too." "[laughing] [groans]" "[continues laughing] [groaning]" "[whooshing]" "Metallo, over here." "Metallo!" "Come on, Metallo." "You want me?" "I'm right here." "Whoa!" "[high pitched tone] [groaning]" "Kinda feels like an ice pick in the ear drum, doesn't it?" "But then, I guess you wouldn't know what an ice pick in the ear drum feels like, would you?" "It kinda feels like this." "[laughing]" "Ah." "You know, I asked myself" ""how the devil does he turn off his super hearing?"" "Then I thought, "Hey, maybe he can't."" "So I whipped up this ultra high frequency tone generator and you know the beauty of it is, us mere mortals can't even hear it." "Just you and the dogs." "[laughing]" "That was some trip." "Phew!" "I bet the balance center in your inner ear is going south, right about now." "[high pitched tone] [no audio]"
