NORMALLY I WOULDN´T
WASTE MY TIME

MEETING WITH A COLLEGE FRESHMAN
GROVELING FOR AN INTERNSHIP.

WELL, THANK YOU, MISS KAHN.
BITTERMAN!

YEAH, CHIEF?

WHERE´S THAT PIECE
ON SENATOR JENNINGS?

I-I-I´M TYPING IT UP.

I DON´T SEE
YOUR FINGERS MOVING.

20 MINUTES, OR THEY´LL BE
TWIDDLING OVER THE WANT ADS.

OF COURSE, CHIEF.

WHERE WAS I?

THE INTERNSHIP.
OH, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.

YOU DIDN´T GET IT.

WHAT?

WELL, THEN...
WHY AM I HERE?

CURIOSITY.

IT´S THE BACKBONE
OF ANY DECENT REPORTER.

HAVE YOU GOT BACKBONE,
SULLIVAN?

YEAH, I...

YOU HAD A COLUMN HERE A COUPLE
OF YEARS AGO, DIDN´T YOU?

WHEN I WAS
IN HIGH SCHOOL.

WELL, THAT IS QUITE
AN ACCOMPLISHMENT

TO HAVE YOUR OWN BY-LINE

WHEN YOU´RE PRACTICALLY
STILL IN DIAPERS.

I MEAN,
A LOT OF REPORTERS --

WELL, REAL REPORTERS --
WORK FOR YEARS STRUGGLING

BEFORE THEY CAN GET
THAT KIND OF A CHANCE.

I JUST WANTED TO MEET THE KID
THAT COULD PULL THAT OFF.

THANKS.

OH, WELL, DON´T THANK ME.
THANK LIONEL LUTHOR.

HE´S THE ONE WHO ARM-TWISTED
THE OLD CHIEF EDITOR

INTO DROPPING YOUR JUVENILE
PABLUM INTO THIS PAPER.

I DIDN´T ASK LIONEL
TO DO THAT.

WELL, YOU DIDN´T SAY "NO"
EITHER, DID YOU?

THEN YOU MUST HAVE DONE
SOMETHING TO PISS LIONEL OFF

BECAUSE HE GOT YOU FIRED.

I REMEMBER THAT DAY.

I BELIEVE WE HAD CAKE.

MISS KAHN, I DON´T EXPECT TO BE
GIVEN A COLUMN LIKE LAST TIME.

I´M WILLING TO START
FROM THE BOTTOM

AND WORK MY WAY UP WITHOUT
ANY HELP OR ARM-TWISTING.

ALL I WANT IS THE OPPORTUNITY
TO PROVE MYSELF.

BEING A PART OF THIS WORLD,

WORKING AT
THE DAILY PLANET, IT´S...

IT´S ALWAYS BEEN MY DREAM.

WELL, WE ALL HAVE TO WAKE UP
SOMETIME, DON´T WE, SULLIVAN?

BY THE WAY,
WE DON´T VALIDATE.

YOU KNOW WHAT, MISS KAHN?

I KNOW YOU MAY BE
EDITOR IN CHIEF NOW,

BUT EVEN YOU HAD TO
START SOMEWHERE,

AND I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE UP
UNTIL I GET THE SAME CHANCE.

I STARTED BY BEING
A DAMN GOOD REPORTER.

YOU WANT A BREAK?

BRING ME A STORY.

Chloe:
OKAY, LET´S STOP FOR A SECOND.

IN CASE YOU CAN´T TELL,
I WAS COMPLETELY FREAKED OUT.

PAULINE KAHN
HAD THROWN DOWN THE GAUNTLET.

THE WOMAN HAD TWO PULITZERS.

I HAD A HIGH-SCHOOL SERVICE
PLAQUE AND ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA

WHERE MY BIG STORY
WAS GOING TO COME FROM.

LITTLE DID I KNOW
THAT 10 CITY BLOCKS AWAY,

IT WAS ABOUT TO BITE ME
IN THE ASS --

WELL, MORE LIKE THE NECK,
BUT WE´LL GET TO THAT LATER.

WELCOME TO
THE TRI-PSI SORORITY HOUSE.

I THINK THAT´S GREEK FOR
"BIMBOS, BIKINIS, AND BEER."

[ DOORBELL RINGS ]

PIZZA PIZZA, DELIVERED
IN 28 MINUTES, PIPING...

...HOT.

OH, MY GOD,
WE ARE SO STARVING.

MMM, LET´S EAT
IN THE JACUZZI.

[ BOTH GIGGLING ]

[ LAUGHTER ]

[ LAUGHTER CONTINUES ]

I, UH -- I REALLY SHOULD BE
GETTING BACK TO WORK.

OH...

MNH-MNH.
CAN´T YOU STAY AND PLAY?

JUST FOR A LITTLE BIT?

WELL, MAYBE JUST
FOR A MINUTE.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR PIZZA?

YOU TASTE SO MUCH BETTER
THAN PEPPERONI.

[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]

AHHH!

AHHH! AHH!

♫ SOMEBODY SAVE ME ♫

♫ LET YOUR WARM HANDS BREAK
RIGHT THROUGH ♫

♫ SOMEBODY SAVE ME ♫

♫ I DON´T CARE HOW YOU DO IT ♫

♫ JUST STAY ♫

♫ STAY WITH ME ♫

♫ STAY ♫

♫ COME ON ♫

♫ I´VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU ♫

♫ JUST STAY WITH ME ♫

♫ I´VE MADE THIS WHOLE WORLD
SHINE FOR YOU ♫

♫ STAY ♫

♫ STAY ♫

♫ COME ON ♫

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

Clark: TELEGRAM.

HEY.

CLARK, HI.

I JUST WANTED TO...
[ CHUCKLES ]

COME BY
AND SURPRISE MYSELF.

WHAT´S ALL THIS?

THIS IS ME PACKING.

PACKING FOR WHAT?

FOR COLLEGE.

I, UH...

I GOT LATE ACCEPTANCE
TO MET U.

CONGRATULATIONS.

WHY DIDN´T YOU TELL ME
YOU APPLIED TO MET U.?

BECAUSE I DIDN´T WANT
TO GET MY HOPES UP.

I APPLIED SO LATE
I DIDN´T THINK I HAD ANY CHANCE.

WITH YOUR GRADES, THEY´D
BE CRAZY NOT TO ACCEPT YOU.

WELL, I GOT IN
JUST UNDER THE WIRE.

THERE AREN´T EVEN
ANY DORM ROOMS LEFT ANYMORE.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO STAY?

I CAN CRASH AT CHLOE´S,
BUT MAYBE I´LL TRY A SORORITY.

I KNOW HOW IT SOUNDS,

BUT IT´S THE ONLY HOUSING
NEAR TO CAMPUS

I HAVE ANY SHOT
OF GETTING INTO.

YOU KNOW,
CENTRAL KANSAS UNIVERSITY

HAS PLENTY OF HOUSING
STILL AVAILABLE, AND...

...AND THEY HAVE YOU.

BUT THEY DON´T HAVE
ANY OF THE COURSES

THAT I´M REALLY
INTERESTED IN,

ESPECIALLY ASTRONOMY.

IT´S NOT GOING
TO BE THAT BAD.

WE´LL TALK TO EACH OTHER
ON THE PHONE ALL THE TIME.

DON´T WORRY.

NOTHING´S GOING TO CHANGE
BETWEEN US.

WELCOME TO THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS
AND EXCLUSIVE SORORITY

AT METROPOLIS UNIVERSITY.

WE ARE THE RICHEST.
WE ARE THE PRETTIEST.

WE ARE THE BEST.

OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, MANY
OF YOU WILL LEAVE DISAPPOINTED.

BUT IF YOU´RE INSANELY COOL
AND VERY, VERY LUCKY,

YOU MIGHT JUST BE CHOSEN
TO BE A TRI-PSI.

AND IF THAT HAPPENS,
IT´LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE...

...FOREVER.

MEET BUFFY SANDERS,

PRESIDENT
OF THE TRI-PSI SORORITY.

BY THE WAY, I CHANGED THE NAMES
TO PROTECT THE VAPID.

IN THE FINAL DAYS
OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE,

WEALTH AND POWER

WERE THE ONLY THINGS
THE EMPEROR COVETED.

WHAT ABOUT
THE GOOD CITIZENS OF ROME?

WHAT DID THEY DO?

DID THEY RISE UP,

BURN THEIR BRAS
AND THEIR DRAFT CARDS?

NO.

THEY WENT
TO THE COLOSSEUM.

THEY STOOD IDLE
WHILE AN EVIL MAN

DESTROYED THEIR WORLD.

IN YOUR LIFETIME,

EACH OF YOU MAY BE FACED
WITH A SIMILAR SITUATION.

THE QUESTION IS --

WILL YOU LEAVE YOUR FOOTPRINTS
ON THE HISTORY OF TIME

OR LET THEM BE WASHED AWAY

BY THE TIDES
OF MORE POWERFUL MEN?

MR. KENT...

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

ME? I, UM --

LUTHORCORP PRACTICALLY OWNS
YOUR HOMETOWN OF SMALLVILLE.

WHAT IF YOU FOUND OUT
THAT LEX LUTHOR,

THE EMPEROR OF THE COMPANY,

WAS A DANGEROUS,

UNSTABLE MEGALOMANIAC

BENT ON
DESTROYING YOUR WORLD?

WOULD YOU HAVE THE COURAGE
TO TRY TO STOP HIM?

I, UH --

[ BELL RINGS ]

READ CHAPTER THREE
FOR MONDAY.

THERE´LL BE A QUIZ
ON THE MATERIAL.

INTERESTING LECTURE
YOU´VE BEEN GIVING, PROFESSOR.

I HOPE YOU´VE BEEN
TAKING NOTES.

OH, JUST THE HIGHLIGHTS.

YOU´VE BEEN PAINTING ME
AS THE POSTER CHILD

FOR CORPORATE VILLAINY.

SOME OF THE THINGS YOU SAY
COME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO LIBEL.

IT´S ONLY LIBEL
IF IT ISN´T TRUE.

EVERYTHING I SAY
IN THIS CLASSROOM

IS SUPPORTED
BY MY RESEARCH.

AND ME.

YOU ARE
A FASCINATING SUBJECT.

[ CHUCKLES ]

YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHAT FASCINATES ME, PROFESSOR?

YOUR LECTURES
HAVE INCLUDED SPECULATION

IN CERTAIN
LUTHORCORP PROJECTS

THAT AREN´T EVEN
PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE.

I´M SORRY,
BUT I NEVER SPECULATE.

THE STUDY OF HISTORY

IS BUILT ON
METICULOUS RESEARCH...

EVEN BEFORE COMING
TO OBVIOUS CONCLUSIONS.

[ BRIEFCASE LOCKS SNAP ]

AND WOULD ONE OF YOUR RESEARCH
SOURCES BE CLARK KENT?

I KNOW YOU HIRED HIM
AS YOUR ASSISTANT.

NOW...

WHY WOULD A MAN
OF YOUR STATURE

BE SO CONCERNED
WITH THE COMINGS AND GOINGS

OF A FRESHMAN FARM BOY?

IF YOU KNOW SO MUCH
ABOUT ME, PROFESSOR,

I´M SURE YOU REALIZE
THAT I DONATE

A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT
OF FUNDING TO THIS UNIVERSITY.

THAT ALLOWS ME AN UNUSUAL
LEVEL OF ACCESS

TO THE DEAN AND
THE ACADEMIC REVIEW BOARD.

YEAH, I KNOW.

THE BUYING OF INFLUENCE
IS PART OF MY SECOND SEMESTER.

IF YOU HAVE
A SECOND SEMESTER.

[ SIGHS ]

YOU SHOULD ALL
BE VERY PROUD.

THE FOUR OF YOU WERE AMAZING
DURING RUSH WEEK,

LIKE LITTLE DIAMONDS
IN THE ROUGH

JUST WAITING TO BE POLISHED.

BUT NOT EVERYONE
IS TRI-PSI MATERIAL.

IT´S SAD, BUT IT´S A FACT.

CAROL...

BOBBY...

SUSAN, PLEASE STEP FORWARD.

THE THREE OF YOU
WERE REALLY GREAT!

BUT GREAT ISN´T ENOUGH
FOR A TRI-PSI.

A TRI-PSI HAS TO BE
EXCELLENT ALL OVER.

BYE, NOW.

W-WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU MEAN THAT I´M IN?

LANA, COME ON.
YOU´RE AMAZING.

OF COURSE WE WANT YOU
TO BE ONE OF US.

WOW.
[ CHUCKLES ]

UM, THANK YOU.

BUT THERE IS JUST
THIS LITTLE INITIATION THING

THAT WE HAVE TO DO FIRST.

[ HISSES ]

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!

WE´RE TRI-PSIS.

WE´RE THE HOTTEST
VAMPIRES EVER.

WELCOME
TO THE SISTERHOOD.

NICE SHOT.

YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW
THE ANGLES.

THAT´S WHY YOU´VE BEEN
LOOKING INTO MY PAST?

COME ON, PROFESSOR.

YOU´RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
INTERESTED IN HISTORY, ARE YOU?

YOU DON´T STRIKE ME AS THAT MUCH
OF AN ACADEMIC TYPE.

WHAT´S THIS?

I KNOW YOU´RE A BUSY MAN.

I THOUGHT I´D SAVE YOU
SOME TIME.

THAT´S MY WHOLE LIFE
IN THERE --

EVERY RECORD, EVERY ACHIEVEMENT,
EVERY FAILURE,

ALL THE WAY BACK
TO THE DAY I WAS BORN.

AND I´M SUPPOSED TO JUST
SWALLOW ALL OF THIS?

YOU WOULDN´T BE
THE GREAT LEX LUTHOR...

IF YOU DID.

NO, YOU´LL SPEND A FORTUNE
CHECKING AND RECHECKING...

...CONVINCED WHAT YOU BELIEVE
MUST BE TRUE.

AND, UH...

WHAT IS IT I BELIEVE,
PROFESSOR?

THAT EVERYONE IS HIDING SECRETS
AS DARK AS YOURS.

HOW DID YOU GET THIS?

JUST USED MY BRAIN.

IT´S AN INTERESTING DOCUMENT,
ISN´T IT?

IT SEEMS TO INDICATE YOU´RE
USING FUNDING TO THE UNIVERSITY

TO CONDUCT QUESTIONABLE
LUTHORCORP EXPERIMENTS...

...ON CAMPUS...

BUT OFF THE CORPORATE BOOKS.

I WONDER WHAT THE DEAN
WOULD THINK ABOUT THAT.

[ CHUCKLES ]

NEVER START A GAME
YOU CAN´T WIN.

MR. LUTHOR.

FOLLOW HIM.

WITH PLEASURE, SIR.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I´M REDECORATING.

KAREN, THIS IS MY SIDE
OF THE ROOM.

YEAH, BUT I´VE GOT TO
LOOK AT IT, OKAY?

NOW, LISTEN TO ME.

I DID NOT SPEND FOUR YEARS
OF HIGH-SCHOOL MISERY

DREAMING ABOUT
COMING TO MET U....

FOR THIS, OKAY?

BUT I DIDN´T --
NO, OKAY?

AND WHILE WE´RE ON THE SUBJECT
OF ROOMMATE ETIQUETTE...

CAN YOU PLEASE TELL
[ SPEAKING SPANISH ] OVER HERE

THIS ISN´T
THE BETTY FORD CLINIC, OKAY?

I´M GONNA GO NOW.

I´D RATHER BE ROOMMATES
WITH A TWO-HEADED MONKEY.

ALL RIGHT, LANA --
RISE AND SHINE, SLEEPING BEAUTY.

UP AND AT ´EM.

[ GROANS ]

OKAY, FOR SOMEONE
WITH A KEEN WEIRD-DAR,

I CAN´T BELIEVE
I DID NOT SEE THE SIGNS.

BUT I DEFY ANYONE
TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN A NASCENT VAMPIRE

AND A FRESHMAN GIRL
WITH A HANGOVER.

DIDN´T YOU HAVE CLASS
THIS MORNING?

[ MUMBLING ]

I MUST HAVE OVERSLEPT.

WOW.

FIRST OFFICIAL DAY ON CAMPUS,
AND YOU´RE ALREADY HUNG OVER.

MAYBE YOU REALLY ARE
SORORITY MATERIAL.

[ CHUCKLES ]

IS LANA HERE?

HEY.

YEAH, WHAT´S LEFT OF HER.

PLEDGE PARTY --
HIGHER LEARNING AT ITS BEST.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD SEE IF YOU CAN
BREATHE SOME LIFE INTO HER.

I´LL BE
AT THE LIBRARY,

RESEARCHING WAYS
TO KILL MY ROOMMATE.

[ INHALES SHARPLY ]

ROUGH NIGHT LAST NIGHT?

I GUESS.

IT´S ALL A LITTLE FUZZY.

WELL, IT MUST HAVE BEEN
SOME PARTY.

I, UH, TRIED TO CALL YOU
A FEW TIMES LAST NIGHT
AND AGAIN THIS MORNING.

DID YOU GET
ANY OF MY MESSAGES?

NO, I HAVEN´T CHECKED
MY VOICE MAIL YET.

SORRY.

LANA, ARE YOU OKAY?

UH-HUH.

I´M JUST...
FEELING A BIT DEAD.

[ SNIFFS ]

[ SNIFFS ]

[ SNIFFS ]

GOD.

YOU SMELL AMAZING.

IS THAT NEW AFTERSHAVE?

NO, IT´S JUST THE...

THE USUAL.

WELL, MAYBE WE SHOULD
TRY SOMETHING UNUSUAL.

LANA, I --

SHUT UP, CLARK.
YOU TALK TOO MUCH.

LANA -- LANA --

LANA, STOP.
WHAT´S GOING ON WITH YOU?

WE´RE NOT IN HIGH SCHOOL
ANYMORE, CLARK.

THINGS CHANGE.

I CAN SEE THAT.
WE´RE IN COLLEGE NOW.

LIVE A LITTLE --
I PLAN TO.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

IT MEANS
EXACTLY WHAT I SAID.

IF YOU´RE GOING TO BE
ALL NEEDY AND INSECURE,

MAYBE WE NEED TO RE-EVALUATE
THIS RELATIONSHIP.

YOU SHOULDN´T BE PUTTING
YOUR HANDS ON THINGS

THAT AREN´T YOURS,
PROFESSOR.

ACTUALLY...

IT IS MINE.

[ GRUNTS ]

[ GRUNTS ]

I GOOGLED "VAMPIRES."

THEIR HISTORIC TRAITS INCLUDE
AVERSION TO SUNLIGHT,

ELONGATED CANINES,

AN INSATIABLE HUNGER
FOR HUMAN BLOOD...

OH, AND IMMORTALITY.

POOR LANA´S ABOUT TO FIND OUT

ABOUT THE LAST ONE
THE HARD WAY.

WHOO-HOO!

WHOO!
WHOO!WHOO!

Buffy:
LOOKS LIKE WE PICKED A WINNER!

GOD, THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER
THAN SITTING AROUND

LISTENING TO MY BOYFRIEND
WHINE ABOUT HIS FEELINGS.

YOU´RE A TRI-PSI NOW, LANA.
WE EAT BOYFRIENDS FOR BREAKFAST.

WELL, THEN...
TO BREAKFAST!

[ LAUGHS ]

[ LAUGHS ]

MMM.

AHH.

WHOA.
[ LAUGHS ]

MAYBE I SHOULD SLOW DOWN
A LITTLE BIT.

WHERE´S THE FUN
IN THAT?

YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THE NORMAL,
BORING PEOPLE ANYMORE, LANA.

YOU´RE ONE OF US NOW.

AND WE DO THINGS
A LITTLE MORE EXCITING.

LIKE WHAT?

LIKE THIS.

[ THUNDER CRASHES ]

[ GIGGLES ]

[ ALL GIGGLING ]

OH...MY GOD.
DID YOU SEE HER FACE?

[ GASPS ]
SHE WAS ALL LIKE --

"AAAAAH!"
"AAAAAH!""AAAAAH!"

[ THUNDER CRASHES ]

[ BONES CRUNCHING ]

[ THUNDER CRASHES ]

[ NECK CRACKS ]

OH. DIDN´T WE TELL YOU?

YOU GET TO LIVE FOREVER.

COOL.

[ THUNDER CRASHES ]

I DON´T KNOW
WHAT´S GOING ON WITH LANA,

but I went over to the sorority
house today to say hi,

AND ONE OF THE PRETTY,
PLASTIC PEOPLE TOLD ME

THAT SHE WAS STILL ASLEEP

at 3:00
in the afternoon.

I TRIED CALLING HER, TOO,
BUT SHE WON´T PICK UP.

MAYBE SHE NEEDS
A LITTLE SPACE.

OR SOME SERIOUS
DEPROGRAMMING.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I´m pulling up some information
for a story I´m working on,

AND I THINK THERE´S A LOT MORE
GOING ON AT THAT HOUSE

THAN JUST PEDICURES
AND PILLOW FIGHTS.

I THINK YOU BETTER
GET OVER HERE --

[ WIND GUSTING ]

Clark: HEY.

CLARK...

WHAT DO YOU GOT?

BESIDES A HEART ATTACK?

OKAY, SIX YEARS AGO TRI-PSI
WAS JUST YOUR REGULAR SORORITY,

AND THEN THEIR NEW PRESIDENT
TOOK OVER.

BUFFY SANDERS.

YEAH.

AFTER THAT, THEY BECAME THE MOST
EXCLUSIVE SORORITY AT MET U.

THEY GET MORE PLEDGES THAN
ANY GREEK SORORITY EVERY YEAR,

BUT THEY ONLY CHOOSE ONE GIRL
TO BE A PART OF TRI-PSI.

LANA.
YEAH.

NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE
SHE´S A MEMBER FOR LIFE.

ACCORDING TO THIS, EVER SINCE
BUFFY SANDERS TOOK OVER,

NOT ONE TRI-PSI
HAS EVER LEFT THE SISTERHOOD.

THINK THAT HAS TO DO WITH
THE WAY LANA´S BEEN ACTING?

I THINK THAT THERE´S ONLY
ONE WAY THAT WE CAN BE SURE.

COSTUME PARTY?

IT´S THE PERFECT COVER FOR US
TO GET IN THERE AND POKE AROUND.

I HATE COSTUMES.

INVITATION?

RIGHT, INVITATION.

I HAD ONE WHEN I WAS AT
THE NAIL SALON, AND THEN, UM --

AND THEN, OF COURSE,
I WENT TO GET WAXED

AND TO THE TANNING BED,
SO I, UM...

CARLOS, DO YOU REMEMBER
WHERE I PUT IT?

CARLOS.

NO.

NO, I DON´T.

I´M NOT SUPPOSED TO LET YOU IN
WITHOUT AN INVITATION.

BUT I WON´T TELL
IF YOU DON´T...

CARLOS.

GREAT. OKAY, WELL...

LET´S GO, CARLOS.

SORRY.

SO, UH,
CARLOS, HUH?

STARTS WITH A "C."

DON´T YOU THINK THE CAPE
IS A LITTLE MUCH?

I KIND OF LIKE IT.
IT´S NOT TOO BAD.

I MEAN,
THE MASK SLIDES AROUND.

I CAN HARDLY SEE
ANYTHING SOMETIMES.

UM, WHY DON´T
YOU CHECK UPSTAIRS,

SEE IF YOU
CAN FIND ANYTHING?

I´LL SCOPE THINGS OUT
DOWN HERE.

IF YOU SEE LANA...

I´LL LET HER KNOW
THAT YOU´RE HERE.

LANA!

LANA!

HEY.

GO PLAY WITH
YOUR SIX-SHOOTER.

ME AND THE KITTY CAT HERE
NEED TO HAVE A TALK.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
IN HERE?

I WAS, UH, LOOKING
FOR THE BATHROOM.

WHOO! HOT TUB!
[ LAUGHTER ]

SORRY, BUF.

[ FOOTSTEPS DEPARTING ]

LANA, WHAT IS WRONG
WITH YOU?

I´M HAVING FUN.

YOU SHOULD
TRY IT SOMETIME.

WHAT IF CLARK SAW YOU
WITH THAT GUY?

YOU REMEMBER CLARK,
RIGHT?

YOUR BOYFRIEND
WHO CARES ABOUT YOU

MORE THAN ANYTHING?

YOU SURE KNOW HOW
TO RUIN A PARTY, DON´T YOU?

LANA, I DON´T KNOW WHAT´S
GOING ON, BUT THIS ISN´T YOU.

YOU WOULDN´T HURT CLARK
LIKE THIS.

I´M...
I´M SORRY, CHLOE...

...BUT YOU SHOULDN´T
HAVE COME HERE.

[ HISSES ]

OH, SWEETIE...
[ CHUCKLES ]

THIS ISN´T A MOVIE.

UGH!

NOTE TO SELF --

NEVER CONFRONT A VAMPIRE
WHEN THEY´RE HUNGRY,

EVEN IF THEY ARE
YOUR BEST FRIEND.

[ Chloe groaning ]

Clark!

[ GROANS ]
[ WIND GUSTING ]

LANA?

[ HISSES ]

[ MONITOR BEEPING ]

Man:
BLUE TEAM TO I.C.U., PLEASE.

BLUE TEAM, I.C.U.

FRANKLY, I DON´T KNOW
WHAT ELSE TO TRY.

WE´VE GIVEN HER A TRANSFUSION,
BUT THERE´S BEEN NO IMPROVEMENT.

WHAT´S WRONG WITH HER?

WELL, AS NEAR AS WE CAN TELL,
SHE´S BEEN INFECTED

WITH SOME SORT
OF RABIES-LIKE VIRUS.

IT WAS PROBABLY TRANSMITTED

IN THE SALIVA
OF WHATEVER ANIMAL BIT HER.

IT´S ATTACKING
HER RED BLOOD CELLS,

PREVENTING THEM
FROM REGENERATING.

IS THERE ANYTHING
YOU CAN DO?

WE CAN KEEP UP
THE TRANSFUSIONS,

HOPE SHE STABILIZES.

I´M SORRY.

Woman:
PAGING DR. BENDER.

PAGING DR. BENDER.

YOU HAVE TO FIGHT IT, CHLOE.

YOU HAVE TO FIGHT IT.

IS SHE ALL RIGHT?

PROFESSOR,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

VISITING
A SICK COLLEAGUE.

THOUGH HE SEEMS TO BE DOING
BETTER THAN YOUR FRIEND.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?

SHE WAS...BITTEN.

BY WHAT?

I KNOW HOW THIS
IS GONNA SOUND,

BUT I THINK SHE WAS ATTACKED
BY A VAMPIRE.

CLARK, THERE´S NO SUCH THING
AS VAMPIRES.

I KNOW WHAT I SAW,
PROFESSOR.

SHE´S LOST A LOT OF BLOOD,

AND THE TRANSFUSION
DIDN´T WORK

BECAUSE SHE´S INFECTED
BY SOME WEIRD STRAIN OF...

RABIES.

RABIES?

[ FLIPS PAPER ]

YOU MIGHT WANT TO HAVE A WORD
WITH YOUR BUDDY LEX LUTHOR.

LEX?

ASK HIM ABOUT
PROJECT 1138.

YOU GOT THAT JUST
FROM LOOKING AT CHLOE´S CHART?

I RECOGNIZE THE SYMPTOMS
FROM MY RESEARCH AT LUTHORCORP.

NOW, DO YOU WANT TO STAND AROUND
HERE PLAYING 20 QUESTIONS,

OR DO YOU WANT TO SAVE
YOUR FRIEND´S LIFE?

HOW COULD YOU BE
SO STUPID?!

YOU NEVER LEAVE ANYONE ALIVE.
YOU HAVE TO FINISH THEM OFF.

OR TURN THEM BY MAKING THEM
DRINK YOUR BLOOD.

OH, THAT GUY CARLOS
SAW YOU.

HIS NAME´S CLARK.

OH, WHATEVER.
HE SAW YOU FEEDING.

AND HE WAS SNEAKING
AROUND MY ROOM.

THAT´S TWO STRIKES.
I´M NOT WAITING FOR A THIRD.

HE´S MY BOYFRIEND.

SO?

LANA, YOU ARE GOING
TO LIVE FOREVER NOW.

HE´S GONNA GET OLD
AND WITHERED

AND SAG IN PLACES THAT YOU
DON´T WANT TO SEE SAGGING.

YOU´RE SPECIAL.
HE´S NOT -- DEAL.

WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO TO HIM?

[ CHUCKLES ] ME?

OH, HONEY,
THIS IS YOUR FRESHMAN MESS.

FIND CLARK
AND BRING HIM BACK HERE

WITH JUST ENOUGH LIFE IN HIM
SO WE CAN ALL HAVE A TASTE...

...OR YOU´RE THE ONE WE´LL
BE FEEDING OFF OF TONIGHT.

LEX!

PROJECT 1138 --
WHAT IS IT?

I NEVER HEARD OF IT.

DON´T LIE TO ME.

I KNOW IT HAS SOMETHING
TO DO WITH THE RABIES VIRUS.

CHLOE´S IN THE HOSPITAL DYING
FROM IT RIGHT NOW,

AND I THINK LANA´S
BEEN INFECTED, TOO.

LANA?

NO MORE GAMES.

IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT
WHAT´S GOING ON,

YOU GOT TO TELL ME RIGHT NOW,

BEFORE IT´S TOO LATE.

SIX YEARS AGO,

A GIRL NAMED BUFFY SANDERS
WAS TRAPPED

IN A CAVE OUTSIDE SMALLVILLE
FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

I KNOW, LEX.
I READ THE NEWSPAPER ARTICLE.

CERTAIN FACTS NEVER MADE IT
INTO THE PRESS.

LIKE WHAT?

LUTHORCORP AIDED
IN HER RESCUE.

AFTER SHE WAS TRANSPORTED
TO THE HOSPITAL,

THE SITE WAS DISCOVERED TO
POSSESS UNUSUAL CHARACTERISTICS.

LEX, QUIT DANCING AROUND.
WHAT DID LUTHORCORP FIND?

METEOR ROCKS.

THEY HAD SOAKED
INTO THE WATER TABLE,

CREATING
INFECTED STALACTITES,

WHICH IN TURN INFECTED
THE INDIGENOUS ANIMAL LIFE

DESMODUS ROTUNDUS --

VAMPIRE BATS.

SO WE ARE DEALING
WITH VAMPIRES.

THERE´S NOTHING MYSTICAL
ABOUT THIS, CLARK.

IT´S JUST
A VERY UNUSUAL DISEASE.

ONE OF
THE LUTHORCORP RESEARCHERS

WAS ACCIDENTALLY BITTEN
AND QUICKLY DEVELOPED

UNUSUAL STRENGTH,
AVERSION TO BRIGHT LIGHT,

AND ADAPTIVE CANINE TEETH.
FANGS?

SEEMED TO HELP WITH
THE CANNIBALISTIC TENDENCIES.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM, LEX?

HE RETIRED TO SAUSALITO...

AFTER WE CURED HIM.

WE WERE ABLE TO CREATE A SERUM
THAT REVERSES THE INFECTION.

THE STALACTITE --
IT KEEPS THE SERUM ACTIVE.

NOW, IT NEEDS TO BE ADMINISTERED
DIRECTLY INTO THE HEART

IN ORDER TO CARRY THROUGH
THE BLOODSTREAM EFFECTIVELY.

CLARK, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

[ HISSES ]

LANA?

UGH!

I´M SORRY IT HAS TO
BE THIS WAY, CLARK,

BUT WE DON´T ALWAYS GET
TO CHOOSE WHO WE ARE.

SOMETIMES OUR DESTINY
LEADS US TO PLACES

THAT WE DON´T WANT TO GO,

AND THERE´S NOTHING
WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.

LANA, NO.

I LOVE YOU, CLARK.

I ALWAYS WILL.

[ SCREAMS, GASPS ]

[ CLARK GRUNTS ]

BUFFY WAS WRONG
ABOUT YOU, CLARK.

YOU ARE SPECIAL...

AREN´T YOU?

Buffy:
[ GASPS ] NICE WORK.

HE´S QUITE A CATCH --

100% CORN-FED KANSAS BEEF.

LET´S EAT.

WAIT.

ISN´T THERE SOMETHING ELSE
WE CAN DO WITH HIM?

LIKE WHAT? BARBECUE?

[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]

NO, LIKE CONVERT HIM...

INTO ONE OF US.

[ LAUGHTER ]

WE´RE A SORORITY,
NOT A FRATERNITY.

NO BOYS ALLOWED.

YOU DON´T UNDERSTAND.
HE´S SPECIAL.

NOT TO ME.

GET OUT OF THE WAY.
NO.

EXCUSE ME.

HE´S MINE.
YOU´RE NOT TOUCHING HIM.

OH.
[ CHUCKLES ]

[ GRUNTS ]

[ LAUGHTER ]

[ HISSES ]

I´M REALLY DISAPPOINTED
IN YOU, LANA.

LOOKS LIKE YOU´RE NOT
TRI-PSI MATERIAL AFTER ALL.

[ HISSES ]

[ THUNDER CRASHES ]

LOOKS LIKE
I´M MAKING THE RULES NOW.

ANYONE HAVE
A PROBLEM WITH THAT?

NO, NO.
CONGRATULATIONS.

THAT´S GREAT.
GET OUT.

GET OUT!

OKAY.

[ Straining ]
LANA...

CLARK, IT´S OKAY.
I´M HERE.

LISTEN TO ME.
YOU´RE SICK.

NO. NO, I´M NOT.

I´VE NEVER FELT BETTER.

CLARK, I KNOW
WHAT´S INSIDE OF YOU.

I FELT YOUR STRENGTH.

AND NOW I WANT YOU
TO FEEL MINE.

NO.

IT´S NOT WHO YOU ARE.

BUT MAYBE IT IS.

MAYBE I´VE BEEN HIDING IT
FROM YOU ALL ALONG,

JUST LIKE YOU WERE HIDING
WHO YOU REALLY ARE FROM ME.

NO, PLEASE.

CLARK,
DON´T FIGHT IT.

WE WERE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER.
YOU KNOW THAT IN YOUR HEART.

AND THIS WAY,
WE CAN BE...

FOREVER.

ALL IT TAKES
IS ONE DROP OF BLOOD.

NO.

[ GRUNTS ]

AHHHH!

AHHHHHHH!

AHHHHH! AH!

[ GASPS ]

[ GRUNTS ]

[ SIGHS ]

LANA?

SO, THE TRI-PSIS
GOT BOOTED OFF CAMPUS,

AND ALL THE INFECTED GIRLS
WERE TREATED BY LUTHORCORP.

THE UPSIDE WAS THAT MY ROOMMATE
WAS SO FREAKED-OUT

THAT SHE TRANSFERRED TO NYU,

WHICH MEANS LANA AND I ARE
ONCE AGAIN UNDER THE SAME ROOF.

AS FOR CLARK AND LANA,

THEY SEEM TO BE ABLE
TO SURVIVE ANYTHING.

HOW MUCH OF WHAT HAPPENED
DO YOU REMEMBER?

BITS AND PIECES.

NOTHING COHERENT,
THANK GOD.

BUT THERE, UH...

THERE WAS ONE THING
THAT STUCK WITH ME,

SOMETHING I FELT
WHEN I BIT YOU.

WHAT WAS THAT?

WARMTH...

AND LOVE...

AND AN OVERWHELMING
FEELING OF STRENGTH.

I THINK FOR A MOMENT I FELT
WHAT WAS INSIDE YOUR HEART.

AND I´VE NEVER FELT CLOSER
TO SOMEONE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

I MISS BEING
WITH YOU, CLARK.

HOW´S LANA?

SHE´S BACK TO NORMAL,
SAME AS CHLOE.

LOOK, I KNOW THINGS
HAVEN´T BEEN GREAT BETWEEN US,

BUT I JUST WANTED TO SAY
I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.

THAT MEANS
A LOT TO ME, CLARK.

THERE IS SOMETHING
I´M STILL CURIOUS ABOUT.

HOW DID YOU KNOW
ABOUT PROJECT 1138?

DOES IT MATTER?

ONLY IF IT CAME
FROM PROFESSOR FINE.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE
AGAINST HIM, LEX?

CLARK, HE´S THE ONE
WHO´S BEEN ATTACKING ME.

IS THAT WHY YOU STOPPED BY
HIS LECTURE?

TO FORCE HIM TO STOP LOOKING
AT LUTHORCORP?

HE´S DOING A LOT MORE
THAN LOOKING.

HE´S OBTAINING HIGHLY CLASSIFIED
PROPRIETARY DOCUMENTS.

HE´S ONLY AFTER
THE TRUTH.

I THINK HE´S AFTER
MORE THAN THAT.

LOOK, JUST BE CAREFUL.

I DON´T BELIEVE FINE
IS THE FRIEND YOU THINK HE IS.

THE MOST EXCITING PART
OF FINISHING A STORY

IS NOT FINISHING THE STORY

BUT HAVING SOMEONE ELSE
READ IT.

HMM.

HMM.

IS THAT A GOOD "HMM"
OR A BAD "HMM"?

NO, IT´S A GOOD "HMM,"

IF WE PRINTED TABLOID NONSENSE
LIKE THE INQUISITOR DOES.

BUT WE´RE
THE DAILY PLANET,

AND TALL TALES ABOUT SLAYING
BUFFY THE VAMPIRE

DON´T MAKE IT INTO THE PAGES
OF A REAL NEWSPAPER.

MISS KAHN,
I DIDN´T MAKE THIS UP.

THEY WEREN´T VAMPIRES
OF THE MYTHICAL SENSE.

THEY WERE VICTIMS
OF AN UNUSUAL DISEASE.

LOOK, HERE --

THAT´S ALL THE RESEARCH --

INTERVIEWS,
EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS,

THE CDC REPORT, EVERYTHING.

HMM.

WAS THAT A GOOD "HMM"
OR A BAD --
SHUT UP.

HERE´S THE THING.

YOUR WRITING SHOWS THAT YOU´RE
NOT COMPLETELY WITHOUT TALENT.

THANK YOU.

BUT YOU´RE NOT
A REAL REPORTER, EITHER -- YET.

WELL, EVERYONE
HAS TO START SOMEWHERE.

WELCOME TO
THE DAILY PLANET, KID.

OH, MY GOD.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

UH, WHERE DO I START?

SAME PLACE I DID --
AT THE BOTTOM.

[ EXHALES ]

SHE NEVER DID PRINT THE
ARTICLE, BUT I DON´T CARE.

I GOT IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR
OF MY DREAM.

OKAY, SO IT´S ACTUALLY
THE BASEMENT,

BUT IT´S THE DAILY PLANET --

THE PAPER OF RECORD FOR KINGS,

PRESIDENTS,
AND PRIME MINISTERS,

NOT TO MENTION
FUTURE SUPERHEROES.

BUT THE WAY I LOOK AT IT,

I HAD NO PLACE TO GO
BUT UP, UP, AND AWAY.
