(alien) I've traversed
the cosmos searching
for the mightiest beings.
Each one I conquered
was stronger than the last.
Now the ultimate
is within my grasp.
Superb-o-o-y!
[evil laughter]
[shrieking]
What do you want from me?
When you are
in danger, he comes.
[zapping]
[wild grunting]
Go away from me.
[intense music]
It's no life form
we've ever encountered.
You are the one I came for.
No! Don't hurt her!
I'll do what you want.
[grunting]
(Alien)
Give her up, Superboy.
It's only a matter of time.
[sucking air]
[air hissing]
(Lana) What happened
to that monster?
Stay cool, man.
[intense music]
Ow!
[panting]
[music continues]
[alarm ringing]
Shit!
[ringing continues]
(male on radio)
Attention all cars
in the Shuster
University area.
Break-in recorded at
Ellsworth's Cryogenic Centre.
Be on the lookout
for un--
Give me slot duty any day.
We deliver this major link
hardware to the armory
and I'll be back in front
of the TV tomorrow morning.
- You want a cup?
- No.
I don't wanna miss the shortcut
to the turnpike.
[intense music]
[gunshots]
Freeze!
[gunshots continues]
[intriguing music]
[whooshing]
[ominous music]
[music continues]
I'll call this in.
No, you won't.
[gunshot]
You're next, Superboy.
(professor)
Oh.
I tried to tell you, professor.
It's the way I am.
The term is invulnerable.
But if I don't get
some kind of sample
we'll never determine
what you're made of.
Do you remember those meteor
fragments, I had a while back?
The ones you threw
into outer space?
How could I forget?
Every time I got near them,
I felt like I was dying.
Well, before we disposed off
them, I managed to isolate
some of the unique radiation
that proved to be so
so deadly to you.
Hold it right there.
[machine humming]
This is going to hurt, isn't it?
It might.
[electric humming]
[intense music]
- Nothing.
- Just wait.
[music continues]
- A-a-a-h!
- Ah, don't move.
Don't,
don't touch it.
I guess, it worked.
[chuckling]
I think that's
a fair assumption.
I want to thank you, professor.
There aren't many people,
someone like me can turn to.
There aren't any people
like you, Superboy. Period.
I think I'll have a result
for you by tomorrow.
(Superboy)
Thanks, professor.
[whooshing]
[phone rings]
Professor Peterson.
What? Is there
anything missing?
At last report,
Lieutenant Williams
was still in critical condition.
The bullets removed
from him were
from Sergeant Johnson's gun.
Given the firepower
of the high-tech weapons
aboard the Swat van..
we must consider Johnson
armed and extremely dangerous.
I repeat, Johnson is armed
and extremely dangerous.
[intense music]
[phone ringing]
I'm not here.
(Dean Lockhardt)
WhiteT.J. White.
Where are those
contact sheets I asked for?
Get it together, kiddo.
We've got a paper
to put to bed.
You wanted me to get
photos of that robbery
down at the science laboratory.
I'd like to see them.
Well, I don't have 'em.
Before I got started
on that, you wanted
a checklist of all the camera
and dark room equipment.
So, where are those
contact sheets I asked for?
Get it together, kiddo.
We've got a paper
to put to bed.
I'm doing the best
I can, Dean Lockhardt.
Do better.
[sighing]
Should have stayed with my first
ambition, standup comedian.
(Dean Lockhardt) Did you
say something, T.J. White?
No, well, yeah, I mean,
I just, I-I-I just said that
I'll get everything
back on track
as soon as Clark shows up.
Clark?
Clark Kent?
Did you need to see me,
Dean Lockhardt?
Mr. Kent, the alumni board
has brought me
into run The Shuster Herald
as if that were
a real newspaper.
That means
that we show up on time.
I'm sorry.
It won't happen again.
Editorially speaking,
on the other hand.
I was quite impressed
with the work
that the two of you
turned out on the paper.
Particularly your
reporting, Clark.
Thank you, ma'am.
Now, you two are due at the
Agricultural Research Centre.
I know that doesn't sound
like much of an assignment.
But a good reporter will always
come up with a good angle.
So, get going.
Just once, I wanna hear you
come up with one of your
one liners when
it's needed.
Come on.
[intense music]
[radio static]
I told you I can..
[laughing]
[ominous music]
Kent!
[music continues]
Kent!
Clark Kent?
I know him, officer, but--
Where iswhere is Clark Kent?
Over there.
His dorm's over there.
[grunting]
[coughing]
[gasping]
You okay?
[upbeat music on tape recorder]
Clark would have been here
himself, Mr. Kent.
But he's on an assignment
over at the Agricultural Centre.
And he thought you
might wanna meet him there.
Oh, I'd like that.
That'll give me
a chance to look around.
You know, they're doing some
interesting experimental work
with that frost resistant grain.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
How's everyone in Smallville?
Well, everybody's
just fine and they
and they all
send their love.
I hope, I can
get back there soon.
I hope you can, too.
I'm gonna go
gas up the jeep.
I'll meet you in the parking lot
in ten minutes?
- Okay.
- Great.
Bye.
[knock on the door]
[dramatic music]
Yes?
[intense music]
Clark Kent. I must find him.
Where is he?
Is he in some sort
of trouble, officer?
I must find him.
Where is he?
Well, he's not here.
I'll be seeing him
in a little bit.
Is there something
you'd like me to pass on?
I'll pass it on personally.
Where is he?
I don't like the tone
of your voice, mister.
If you've got a legal paper,
I'll co-operate.
If not,
then you back off!
Oh boy, city cops.
They're something. Phew!

(male #1 on radio) Units three and
seven, proceed to Tenth Street Bridge.
Set up road block.
Units nine and twelve,
are you in position?
Repeat, units nine and twelve,
report your position.

All units proceed

(woman on PA system) Professor
Peterson, please report
to exhibit number seven.
Professor Peterson,
exhibit number seven, please.
All these jerks are taking
and me stuck
with only one roll
of film, huh?
What a dig.
Oh ho, Clark.
I'm the comedian, remember?
[engine revving]
[intense music]
[music continues]
Pa.
Oh..
(Jonathan) 'Oh, you
look so good, don't you?'
Ah, I like
that, beef man.
God, nice to see you.
- You must be J.T.?
- T.J.
Oh, T.J., I'm sorry.
It's a real pleasure
there, Mr. Kent.
- Ah, T.J.
- Just a minute, please.
There's Professor Peterson.
How about us trying to charm
him into upping our grades?
So Mr. Kent and company
could be rid of us for a while?
You're so quick, T.J.
[laughing]
Come on.
Looks like college
agrees with you, son.
- How's mom?
- She took a nasty fall.
She didn't break
any bones or anything.
But it sure slows
her down quite a bit.
She wouldn't hear
of me staying over.
Now, she said I've been
looking forward
to this trip too long.
She's not in any
pain, is she?
The only pain is that
she can't be here with us.
I miss her.
I miss both of you.
Hey, stop that kind of talk
or I'll start blubbering
like a newborn calf.
Pa, since when do
newborn calves, blubber?
Well, I don't something I
just made up. That's all.
[intense music]
[gunshot]
[crowd screaming]
[intense music]
It's a sniper!
Everybody, get down!
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
[intense music]
[police siren blaring]
[tires screeching]
Drop it,
sergeant. Now!
[music continues]
Drop it!
[explosion]
[gunshots]
[whooshing]
[zapping]
[crackling]
(alien) Why can't I get
inside you! Let me in!
Oh, my God!
- No.
- Get away!
I said, get away!
I'm a doctor.
Let me help.
[mellow music]
Professor.
Feel you could stand up?
[music continues]
Mr. Kent,
Mr. Kent, where's Clark?
I haven't seen him
since the shooting started.
Not to worry, T.J.
I saw him. He'll be alright.
[ambient music]
[intense music]
[whooshing]
[ominous music]
Glad to see you on your feet.
A few questions?
I don't want to delay getting
him to my office to check him.
You kidding?
Check out Superboy?
He was unconscious,
lieutenant. Why take chances?
I'm sure your
questions can wait.
[ominous music]
Mr. Kent, do you think
he's gonna be alright?
Superboy can
take care of himself.
Why don't you let me
take care of you?
