"[Announcer] 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." "Five thousand copies and they put them on the remainder racks." "It was a good book, Levi." "Yeah, but if they promoted it, I coulda had a best seller." "They tried." "A quarter-page ad and a 15-minute reading in a book store?" "[scoffs]" "I shoulda done television or magazines." "But then again, who wants to see an old Jew on a talk show?" "That's ridiculous, you can't..." "Don't tell me what's ridiculous!" "Were you there during the Depression, the War?" "You don't know." "Yeah, we've been through all this before, Levi." "[sighs] It's affected me my whole life." "Where do you think I'd be right now if it hadn't been for that?" "Face it, you write books about mysticism in the Dark Ages, that just isn't relevant anymore." "Just... [wood breaking]" "Let go of me!" "Not again." "Hey, you kids!" "What are you doing?" "[grunts]" "Still think the Dark Ages aren't relevant?" "The police will take care of them." "It's always someone else, isn't it?" "That's why it never gets done!" "What are you getting at, Levi?" "You've got to fight hatred with hatred." "Have our people survived for thousands of years so that we can become... them?" "Thousands of years of persecution!" "It's time we fought back!" "I've been working on a way to do it." "[grunting]" "[chanting]" "[clay cracking]" "[laughs]" "[clay cracking]" "[kitten mewling]" "[grunting]" "Come." "Come, come." "Listen to me." "I am your creator." "Your only purpose is to eradicate the world of bigots." "All of them." "They must be destroyed." "Annihilated." "Crushed." "I will tell you who these men are." "Do you understand me?" "It's called a golem." "That's g-o-l-e-m." "Yeah." "They're supposed to have enormous strength." "Legend says that during the Middle Ages they helped to protect the Jews." "And you think your friend's created one of these things?" "[sighs] I don't know what to think." "Levi's always been interested in the kabbalah." "It's a collection of ancient Jewish mysticism that among other things tells how to make a golem." "Most people dismiss it but Levi believes in it." "You're saying anyone can buy this book and create one?" "No, no, no." "It would take something else as well." "With Levi I think it's his hatred, there's so much emotion there and maybe the ritual helps to transfer it." "Why would he do it?" "To take care of this group of neo-Nazi kids we've got in the neighborhood." "He despises them." "And you said the golem's made from mud?" "Well, that's what the book says." "Then it shouldn't be too hard to find." "No, no." "Once it comes out of the mud it looks like a normal human." "Levi tried to tell me that this guy was his border but I don't know." "How can someone tell the difference?" "The Hebrew sign of life." " Uh, may I?" " Mm-hmm." "It would be right over his heart." "Or it could just be a tattoo." "Couldn't it?" "Yeah, I guess it could just be a tattoo." "And I guess I could just be crazy, too." "And I probably was for coming in here." "Wait a minute." "No, look." "I'm sorry I've wasted your time." "What do we do now?" "File it." "Kind of far-fetched?" "I don't know wouldn't be the first time a monster was created out of hatred." "Didn't you people get our message?" "We don't want your kind around here." "[Levi] Maybe it's time we sent a message back!" "Well, well, well." "What have we here?" "You're that Jew writer, aren't you?" "We hate your kind most of all." "Hate?" "[chuckles] You don't know what hate is." "This is what a bigot looks like." "Go ahead." "[choking]" "I'd say the message has been received. [laughs]" "Where are you going?" "Stop!" "Get him off me!" "Stop!" "Enough!" "Enough!" "[grunts]" "[grunts]" "Chief, we got some food here." "[Clark] Lana, even if a golem is responsible for what happened," "Stopping every garbage man, bodybuilder and professional wrestler in the neighborhood is no way to find it." "[Lana] There's only a couple of more streets west of here." "[siren blaring]" "Looks like there's some trouble up ahead." "It has to be the golem." " I better go." " Where?" "To get more police." "There's plenty police." "[air rushing]" "[gunshots]" "[brakes squealing]" "Listen up!" "Listen to this:" ""I often grew sick to my stomach from the smell of these caftan wearers." "Added to this was their unclean dress and their genuinely unheroic appearance."" "Incredible." "[chattering]" "It's Mein Kampf." "Not the book, the fact that you can read." "What do you want?" "I came here to warn you." "There's a golem that's been created to destroy your group." "Is that right?" "Just ask your friend in the hospital." "So why would you want to protect us?" "Maybe you sympathize with us more than you care to admit." "I protect everyone's right to their own beliefs." "No matter how repulsive they might be." "[murmuring]" "[sighs]" "[gasps]" "I thought you were going back to the bureau?" "I-I was, but I thought the golem might come here." "Looks like you're not the only one with that idea." "[car starting]" "He's the guy that helped the golem get away." "Who is this guy?" "My name is Daniel." "Question is:" "Who are you?" "Clark Kent and Lana Lang." "We work for the Bureau for Extranormal Matters." "Oh, amateurs." "What are you doing in my home?" "You're the guy who helped the golem get away from Superboy." "Why, I suppose you could look at it that way." "What I actually did was protect Superboy from the golem." "Oh, really?" "You don't have any idea what you're dealing with here, do you?" "We know the legend." "So do I. I've been studying it for years, and believe me it's a lot more than a legend." "But if anyone can stop this thing, it's gotta be Superboy." "There's only one way to stop a golem, the mark over his heart must be removed." "Well, then that's what he'll do." "Look, a golem isn't necessarily evil." "With the proper training, it can evolve into a force for good." "Well, what are we supposed to do in the meantime?" "Two things:" "One, stay out of my way, and two, let me handle it." "[bolt locking]" "Hey!" "[man] It's for your own good." "We'll never get that off and it's solid metal." "There's gonna be a march tonight in less than an hour." "They're out of their minds." "Look at this!" "I found a trap door." "[coughing]" "Breathe, breathe deep." " I gotta talk to him!" " No." " It's the only chance!" " He'll kill you!" "[man] Help me!" "Help me!" "Listen to me, will you?" "I'm here to help you!" "I know what Levi said to you but it's not gonna stop them." "All it's going to do is create more hatred, is that what you want?" "[coughing]" "There's another choice, you don't have to kill." "[boy whimpering]" "No!" "Listen to me!" "You have a choice!" "Do you hear me?" "You have a choice!" "No, don't." "Shalom." "I couldn't get through to him." "How did you get out?" " The back." " But..." "He was just doing what he was taught." "Like them." "Will they ever stop?" "There's always hope." "I feel sorry for the victims." "Who's going to protect them now?" "I wouldn't worry about that."
