[snake hisses]
[continues cooing]
[Dr. Winger] This isn't how
it should've turned out.
We can't let him
grow up like that.
It would be
such a waste.
Looks like it
might be too late.
Maybe.
Maybe it's too late
for you and me
But not for him.
- [electricity surges]
- [men shout]
[woman screams]
Just hold still, lady!
We're gonna get
you out of there.
- [sobs] Help!
- You gotta stay still!
We'll get you out.
Are you all right?
I just stopped to fix my eye
and this thing fell on me.
I don't know
how to thank you.
It's all
Do I know you
from somewhere?
Serena Smith.
Maybe you've seen
some of my films.
Oh, maybe, but I usually
don't have time for that.
Oh yeah,
I guess you wouldn't.
Oh!
Let me give you a reward.
No. Thanks. I can't.
Oh well
Here.
Take this than.
[crowd gasps]
[people chattering]
So, the guy in this
movie drops himself
onto the missile
and then goes right
into the target. Bam!
Isn't that something?
Hi Doug. Hi Cindy.
OK, give this to Debbie
What's-Her-Name, in personnel.
Mr. Jackson,
here's your sandwich.
Sorry I'm late.
What are you
talkin' about?
Very funny.
OK, who's the wise guy?
OK, look
this is what happened.
One of these clowns
called up and ordered
something under my name
trying to be funny.
Probably tuna fish,
they know I hate tuna.
It's pastrami.
You told me to get yourself
like you always do.
I didn't ask you
to do anything.
I don't even know you.
Look, here's something
for your trouble.
I know this
wasn't your idea.
Here.
- Mr. Jackson?
- Sorry, I'm busy, son.
- Son? I'm Clark.
- Glad to meet you.
- But I work here.
- Sure you do.
I do. You know me.
Tell him.
- Come on.
- Let's get out of here.
It's a joke, isn't it?
You're always telling me
I'm too serious.
Well, you got me.
Wait till I tell Lana.
It'll have to
wait, friend.
She's out in the field.
No way, you don't let
Lana do field work.
Looks like you don't
know so much after all.
Lana's been
doing field work for
the last two years.
- Now, let's go.
- Well
This is a joke, isn't it?
As soon as I get to the door
everybody's gonna
start laughing?
Well, you're there now.
I don't hear anybody laughing.
Matt, maybe he's
sick or somethin'.
You OK?
I don't know.
- Eddie.
- Yes?
- Don't you know me?
- Am I supposed to?
Are you buying something,
or are you just free reading?
She wasn't killed.
Superboy saved her.
- Who?
- Superboy.
- You know, he flies
- A boy that flies?
Not in this world.
Uh-uh. Excuse me.
Ain't no such thing.
Uh-uh. No, no, no.
Ain't no boy who can
fly in this world.
In what other?
Not in this world
Hi Eddie,
who was that?
Lana, you're back.
How was the investigation?
It was fine.
What was he saying
about a Superboy?
Sounded like
he knew the boy.
Said he could fly.
And he's not
your type, Lana.
Well, you never know.
- Dr. Winger?
- Yes?
What can I do for you?
Something happened to me,
I think you might be able
to help.
What's wrong?
I don't belong here.
I'm from a different
dimension.
That's impossible.
A friend of mine
traveled through
the dimensions before.
There are billions
of worlds out there.
Similar to this one,
but different, too.
I mean, you know about them.
You've been working
on the theory.
How? How do you know that?
There are other
Dr. Wingers.
I've met them.
You couldn't
have come here.
There's no way.
Well, haven't you
built a portal?
A portal?
[chuckles]
You mean this?
Where's the real one?
There is no real one.
It's the best I could do
with no money.
College is practically broke.
Well, what about
the academic fund?
Superboy helped raise
money for it.
Super who?
Lana?
I think you have me
confused with someone else.
You're right.
It's another Lana,
I'm sorry.
Wait.
Back at the bureau,
you were talking about
a boy who could fly?
That was nothing.
No one's ever heard
of him here.
I have.
There is rumors about a boy
in the jungle who can fly.
Is that who you're
talking about?
I'm not sure.
Well, think.
Could be really
important.
If he exists,
imagine all the things
he could do for the world.
All the damage
he could cause.
I'm really not sure,
but maybe we could
check it out together?
I get along
perfectly well
on my own.
[groaning]
He's really real.
Yes, he is.
And he's going
to be all mine.
[stuttering] That boy
could make us rich,
couldn't he?
Rich? Ha!
We could own the world.
Why is it that you
always think so small, Lex?
If it wasn't for me,
you'd still be writing
those stupid equations.
[stutters]
They weren't stupid.
Pi to the millionth place
of whatever. Who cares?
Well, it was
the ch-challenge.
The challenge?
You want a challenge, Lex?
This kid
this kid is a challenge!
[groans]
Well, look who's here.
My curiosity
got the best of me.
I told you,
I work alone.
Taxi! Taxi!
It's the only taxi in town,
looks like somebody already
hired him.
Somebody?
Well, I hope you're
stronger than you look.
Oh, I am.
[grunts]
[groans]
By the way,
how did you get
here before me?
I flew.
I knew he'd follow her.
Everything's going to
work out just right.
All right,
careful, careful.
Careful!
You know, we could use a
little help over here, Lex.
[stutters]
In a m-m-minute.
No, no, no.
Not in a "m-m-minute."
Now.
Careful!
Oh, what's the matter?
Did I break Lexy-wexy's
magic crystal?
There's nothing
m-magical about it.
Yeah, well there better
be something magical
after what you paid for it.
Look, the natives
say that it can
stop the w-w-wild boy.
Oh, come on, Lex.
Why don't you just
face it.
You got beat out of
200 bucks from a guy
who walks around with
a dish in his mouth.
Now, put that
stupid thing away
and come over and
give us a hand!
What is that?
Some kind of UFO?
No I don't know.
Clark, one of
these crystals have
been broken off.
- Clark?
- It can't be.
Well, what is it?
Clark?
Have you seen
this before?
Not this one.
Oh! Oh!
We did it!
Lex! We did it!
I did it!
I am rich!
I am so rich!
I'm a genius.
I am a genius.
[breaking]
How'd he do that?
Lex, don't.
Lex!
I am your father.
We've been
searching for you
for years.
We thought we'd
lost you.
This
is your mother.
[haltingly] Father.
M-mother.
Clark, you still haven't
told me why you acted
that way back there.
Lana, it's just
that like
[boy] Father?
Mother?
It's like what, Clark?
There's something
you're not telling me about
that rocket, isn't there.
Lana, could you just
wait right here for me?
What, again?
You just went!
Mm.
Thank you, son.
Thank you.
This kid's a gold mine.
[Superboy] I wouldn't
count on it, Luther.
- There's two of them.
- This one knows you.
But how could that be?
You ever met him before?
A g-guy who flies?
I think I'd remember.
Stay away from
the boy, Luther.
Ah
Do we know each other?
You don't know me,
but I know you.
And I know that
whatever you're planning,
it's not going to work.
No! Please!
Seems he doesn't like you
messing with dear old d-dad.
You're not his father.
Don't listen to him,
he's going to hurt you.
- Father!
- No!
Don't listen to him.
He's bad.
No! Please! No!
See how strong we are?
We're the same person.
No, no, no
I don't want you
to get hurt.
Well, now you're
making sense.
You
are another story.
See, he's a bad man.
Bad.
Bad?
Mm-hm.
Come on, son.
Let's go.
How did you know
that thing was going
to work on him?
Don't you listen?
He said they were
the same person.
Sounds crazy,
but the results
speak for themselves.
Yeah, but don't you think
we should go back there
and finish him off?
I don't think the
K-I-D would approve.
- Who cares what the K-I-D
- I care.
Now, come on.
- Hey, wait just a minute
- Come on!
Lana!
Oh my God.
Are you all right?
We've been
worried about you.
Where am I?
Who are you?
Don't you recognize me?
I'm Dr. Winger.
You've met different
versions of me in the
other dimensions.
See, in this world,
we monitor what goes on
in all the other worlds.
Sometimes we try to
straighten things out.
That's why we sent you
into that other world.
We're sorry things
turned out so badly.
You're sorry?
We'll be sending you
back to your own world,
as soon as we
we calibrate the portal.
There's a younger
version of me
and Luther's got him.
He's not being
very cooperative.
He's also not breathing.
