[engine revving]

Henderson Culture in this
area is in a deep depression..

...despite the prosperity the
rest of the country has enjoyed.

Mr. Henderson,
would you tell me then why

you wanna buy
our farm land, hm?

When agriculture here
is in such a depressed state?

My combine
has large cash reserves.

You farmers can't last
until the good times come back.

- But I can.
- He's right.

I can't last another season.

[indistinct chatter]

Don't panic now.
You've been hanging in so long.

Give it some more time.

You still work
for the bank, Ms. Jenson?

You know I do, Mr. Kenderson.
In the mortgage department.

Can you guarantee that your
bank president Mr. Benington

will extend the mortgages?

I don't think anyone can
guarantee that at this point.

Well, then.
If you're ready to deal

my colleagues
in the back of the room

have contracts
ready to be signed.

Now, hold it, everybody.
Just hold it.

He's not interested
in any farming.

He's interested in what
lays below our land.

Might be uranium, gold,
oil, we don't know.

Give me a couple of days.

I'll go to the State Capital
first thing in the morning

and I'll check it out
with the geology people, hm.

Alright then, Mr. Kent.
You do what you have to do.

I'll give you all one week...
and then you sign.

Alright?
Go on.

[indistinct chatter]

About old man Kent
and the State Capital.

See the he doesn't get there.

[rooster crowing]

[birds chirping]

[engine droning]

[trumpet music]

[birds chirping]

[engine sputtering]

Ah!

Jonathan.

[intense music]

Oh, dear God.
Oh, Lord.

Oh, Jonathan.
Oh..

Someone help.
Please.

No, I tried
the Siegel Center.

Please, try his dorm.

[telephone ringing]

- Hello?
- May I speak to Clark?

Yeah, just a minute.

Lovely voice.

Hello?

(Ellen)
Clark, this is Ellen.

It's Ellen.

- Hi, what's going on?
- Pa's in the hospital.

What happened?

(Ellen) His tractor went
wild and he went into a ditch.

I told him to get rid
of that piece of junk.

It was due for an accident.

There's been many
similar accidents

since the Kenderson
people came to town.

If it keeps up,
somebody's gonna get killed.

(Clark) Okay, I'm gonna be
on a plane within an hour.

I'll be on the one o'clock
bus to Smallville.

I'll pick you up
at the depot.

[dramatic music]

(Ellen)
Clark. Clark!

Clark.

Uh, my jeep's
across the street.

(Clark)
Great.

How's Pa doing?

Um, he checked himself
out of the hospital.

Well, that's great.
That means he's feeling better.

Yeah, he is much better.

And you?

Well, I'd be feeling a lot
better if you wrote more often.

Speaking of not writing,
how's Lana?

Will you stop
worrying about Lana?

Is she still
so gorgeous?

Lana is just a friend.
That's it.

Hey, hey,
that was some clinch.

We didn't know you college boys
had that much red blood in ya.

You are a college boy,
aren't you, boy?

They're Kenderson's thugs,
Clark, don't fight them.

- That's exactly what they want.
- I'm not gonna fight them.

Hey, Jarvis.
What about the kid's sweater?

It'll look better on you.

Good idea, Borkner buddy.
Take this sweater off, kid.

I'm not taking
the sweater off, come on.

[laughs]

- You shouldn't do that.
- Why not?

Your mommy will be mad if she
has to sew on some buttons, son?

Does the college boy think
he's big enough to play with us?

- Forget it, kid.
- Stop it. What'd ya doing?

You shouldn't be
playing with garbage.

[laughs]

[dramatic music]

[metal creaking]

He's not worth it.

College boy.

- Are you okay, Clark?
- Uh, I'm fine.

I'm fine.
I'm fine.

Come on,
let's get outta here.

[car door closes]

[engine revving]

Clark.

I'm proud of you.

That you didn't let them
force you into a fight.

That's great. Can you take the
kick me sign off my back now?

Oh.

Oh, no.
There he is.

Oh, no, no.

Oh. It's so good
to have you home.

(Clark)
It's nice to be home.

Good to see you, son.

Ma, should he be walking?
You just left the hospital.

Oh, hold it, now.
You're sounding like your ma.

Well, goodbye, everybody.
I have to get back to the bank.

Oh, won't you stay
for some fresh apple pie?

I really can't.
Thanks anyway, Mrs. Kent.

(Clark)
Thanks for the lift.

I'll, ah...see you tonight?

You'll be in
big trouble if you don't.

[chuckles]

Did I mention
how good it is to be home?

I never tire
of hearing it.

What's happened
to your glasses, Clark?

I ran into a couple of
Kenderson's boys in town.

Tell me about him, Pa.

Well..

Well, you know
you're still pretty young.

I wouldn't want you to do
anything foolish that might

tip off who you really are.

I don't want any more
accidents happening to you.

What's he after?

Well, he's been grabbing up
all the land around here

claiming he wants to farm it.

He doesn't wanna farm it,
I know that.

Your pa thinks there's something
valuable under our land.

Well, you can bet on that.

Uranium, gold, oil,
maybe even platinum.

I was going over
to the Bureau of Mines

to check it out
this morning when, uh..

You don't need
the Bureau of Mines, Pa.

- I'll check it out for you.
- How you gonna do that?

I've been developing
my x-ray vision.

Well, now you know
the apple pie is waiting.

[chuckles]

[Superboy theme music]

[orchestral music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

(Jarvis)
Give me a jam.

Pa.

- Yeah?
- I don't understand it.

I checked from
Pete Owens property

all the way down
by dry river.

I didn't see
any mineral deposits.

Yeah, we gotta
find something, Clark.

We gotta find what Kenderson
wants before it's too late.

[engine revving]

[engine revving]

[intense music]

[explosion]

[tires screeching]

(Kenderson) I've got
the contract in my hand.

I know what's in it.

Wait until the end of the week
and I'll deliver as promised.

Look, I lowered the price
from 20 cents a gallon to 15.

You can't buy water
any cheaper than that

anywhere else
I know of.

I got the farmers
in the palm of my hand.

By the end of the week
everything will be signed

sealed and delivered.

I'll call you back later.

If it isn't the poor college
boy who lost his buttons.

Well, well, well.

I gotta hunch the kid
might be ready to sell. Huh?

Have a seat.

If one more accident
happens to a Kent.

You're gonna be running
your rotten business

from a hospital
bed, Kenderson.

What'd you do, college boy?
Take some get-tuff pills?

Now, hold it, son.

I'm here to help
any farmer who wants to

get out from
under his debts.

Like I said, any more
attempts on the farm house..

...you're gonna be sorry.

You blew it, you fools!

Nobody talks to me
like that. Nobody!

See that he can't talk at all
for the next six months.

Hey, you didn't
say goodbye, kid.

We're gonna have to teach you
some manners, college boy.

Don't you!
What are you doing?

(Clark)
No.

I don't want any trouble.

[screaming]

[screaming]

I forgot to say, this college
boy is into pumping iron.

[tires screeching]

What you told me
this afternoon, Clark.

- You sure about that?
- I'm sure of it, Pa.

I was using my x-ray vision
to look for minerals.

When I saw that river,
it didn't mean anything to me.

But when I found out
about Kenderson's deal

to sell the water,
it made sense.

[chuckles]

Come with me.

Everybody would you please
take a seat and settle down?

Mr. Benington from our bank
was good enough to accept

our invitation to come here.

[audience applaud]

My son has got some information
about those land grabbers

and what they
really want. Son.

There's a river
running under our land.

Kenderson doesn't
want our farms.

He wants what's under 'em.

[indistinct chatter]

He has a contract

with the City of Benford
to sell water.

Thanks, son.

Mr. Benington

our Government and the Soviets
are negotiating a contract..

...to sell 'em grain.

Now, we've got
a lot of that grain

stored in our community silo.

Now, soon as that deal is cut
we can pay off all our loans.

All we need is a little time.

Thank you, Mr. Kent.

It's not the proper way
to run a business.

But I've been your neighbor
for over 20 years.

Sure, I'll extend your loan.

[audience applaud]

Since you got me
into this, Ellen.

I'm gonna give you the
responsibility of checking out

the silo tomorrow morning.
If it's full then I can tell

my board of directors I'm not
out of my head for holding

off on these foreclosures.

Alright, and I'll go with you.
Hey, congratulations.

[audience applaud]

I'm gonna go with ya.

That's what I said.
The bank is extending the loans

until the grain is sold.

Corbin, you're worth
every penny.

[dramatic music]

Every penny.

(Kenderson) You know
what you've to do.

Let's move it.

Come on.

[intense music]

Here they come.

- What's going on?
- I don't know.

Looks like they're getting
ready to bloat the silo.

Hey, get away from there.

We figured.
Who are you, anyway?

Everybody will know
you did this.

Come on!
At least one silo every year

accumulates enough natural gas
to blow itself sky high.

Alright, put the old man
in the jeep with her.

They'll think they drove up
just as the silo blew.

That fields ready
for planting.

Not a rock left on it.
Pa won't have to lift a finger.

I'm worried
about them.

Me too.

Should have been back
an hour ago.

I'm on my way.

[Superboy theme music]

[dramatic music]

You set the firing pin?

All you have to do
is press the little, old button.

Better put some distance
between us and that silo

before she blows.

It's gonna level everything
around within a mile.

[theme music]

- Uh, oh, Clark.
- Take it easy, Mr. Kent.

Ah, sorry, Superboy.

I was praying
that my son would help.

Kenderson and his thugs pumped
hydrogen gas into the silo.

They're gonna blow it up.

Move your truck
outta here fast, uh, Mr. Kent.

[engine revving]

[theme music]

Well, I guess
we've come far enough.

[music continues]

And so we say goodbye
to the farmers of Smallville.

[tires screeching]

(Superboy)
Kenderson.

You can get all the water
you want in prison

and you won't
have to pay a cent for it.

I never dreamed
I'd meet Superboy.

But he saved us and I didn't
even get a chance to thank him.

If I ever run into to him,
I'll thank him for you.

If anybody doesn't want
my chicken, I won't hear it.

[telephone ringing]

Ellen, would you get that?

- Hello?
- Um, who is this?

It's Ellen, who's this?

Oh, hi, Ellen,
this is, uh, Lana.

Is Clark there?

Of course, I mean,
I'm calling his house how dumb.

Just a minute, Lana.

(Clark)
Hello?

Hi, friend.

We're calling to find out
how your dad's doing?

It's Lana.

He's doing great actually.
What's new in at Shuster?

T.J. wants to know
if you'll return by Friday

to make the last edition
of the Herald?

(Clark)
I'll be there.

Give everyone
my best in Smallville.

Okay, I will.

Must be nice renewing
old acquaintances.

You shouldn't
worry about Ellen.

Is she still gorgeous?

She's a gorgeous,
good friend, Lana.

Just like you.

- Bye.
- Bye.
