[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) White...T.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 is...where 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!

[indistinct chatter on radio]

[intense music]

[radio static]

[engine revving]

(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.

Sighting reported south of..

[engine revving]

All units proceed with extreme caution.

The man carries a full compliment

of heavy weapons and explosives.

[engine revving]

[gunshot]

[tires screeching]

(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?
