(male #1) 'This is the new inventory we'll offer at 10%.'
(female #1) 'Right.'
(male #1) 'Yes, may I help you?'
- Let's get outta here. - Come on.
Okay, pal, drop the ice.
Just back off, man.
Back off.
431 metro, requesting backup at 321 division street.
You said the suspect didn't have any weapons
so he did all this with his bare hands?
Yeah, you know, I got a kid going through his terrible 2s.
That doesn't do this much damage.
You know what I'm sayin'?
And you said your men shot him five times?
How come there's no blood?
They, they could've shot him 50 times.
Still not gonna be any blood.
How could he not bleed?
Because he ain't a he.
He's an it.
Somebody's making criminals
'out of steel.'
(Clark) 'According to this research only two labs'
'in Metropolis have dealings in robotics.'
- Lexcorp-- - Which is out of business.
And STAR Labs.
Which laid off half their workers
because of defense cutbacks.
I wonder if it's a disgruntled ex-employee behind this.
Maybe...you know, what do they call a guy
who's happy with his job, a gruntled employee?
How was everything?
Oh, well, the service was kind of slow, but aside from that..
Oh, I'm sorry, in that case, dessert's on me.
That and your senior citizen discount should make up for it.
You know, I always pictured the sibling relationship to be..
Well, something different.
That's because you're an only child.
So, Lucy, how's it feel to be back in Metropolis?
Great, California was fun, but it was time
to get back to school, finish up my degree.
- Lucy. - 'Johnny.'
- How's my girl? - I want you to meet my sister.
Lois, this is Johnny Corben.
How you doing? I have heard so much about you.
And I've heard about you.
And this is Clark Kent, he works with Lois at the "Daily Planet."
Oh, yeah, I used to work for the Planet.
I had a paper route when I was a kid, till they fired me.
'You know, it seems like I came up a little bit short'
on my subscription money, a few times.
[laughs] So big deal, right?
Yeah, they can be pretty unreasonable.
Yeah, listen, uh, babe..
'Can we go talk somewhere?'
- Yeah, excuse us. - Excuse us.
[exhales] I don't know what she sees in him.
He has no job, no education, no prospects.
Maybe it's just animal magnetism.
That's fine, in a zoo. Don't expect me to be rational.
My kid sister is dating a monosyllabic, illiterate goon.
It's Jimmy, I'll be right back.
(John) 'Listen, baby me and Angel, we're putting together'
a little, uh...business opportunity
and it is guaranteed to pay off big time
but until then, I'm kind of...busted.
Well, I had a pretty good day in tips.
Oh, no, no, no. I could never take your hard-earned money.
Take it, Johnny, it's okay.
(John) 'Oh, you are the best.'
One day, you and me are gonna be sitting
on top of the world, I promise.
'Okay, gotta go.'
Excuse me, miss, but this is the no eavesdropping section.
I can't believe she gave that leech money.
Take it up with her later.
Jimmy, found out that that robot was
powered by uranium capsules.
Now if we can track down where the capsule's from
maybe we'll find our Mr. Wizard.
A fortune in electronics. Lost.
Why, Rollie?
Obviously, Emmet, the control mechanism
picked up the radio signal from the cops.
I told you that might happen but would you listen?
No.
Now, if we insulate the skull like I said..
No, no, no!
'No more computer controls.'
This time, we're gonna use the neural sensory transmitter.
That means using a human brain.
Don't look at me like that, Emmet.
Oh, don't worry, little brother. I said a human brain.
We'll just put the word out on the street that we need a donor.
Emmet, we're scientists.
We don't know anybody on the street.
Then we'll meet somebody.
Rollie, I am this close
'to creating the ultimate crime machine'
that's gonna make us more powerful than intergang
and you are mailing letters!
It's the ar-ar-article I wrote for "Futureplex Magazine."
I have to mail it to myself to copyright it.
Don't you know that there are more important things
to worry about?
You wanna worry about something, worry that there's no more
money to buy the uranium capsules
we need to power that worthless piece of tin.
Yeah, what you don't know is that when we get the human brain
we won't need any uranium.
We're going to find an alternate power source.
Yeah, like what, wheaties?
No. Something I was testing at LexLabs.
Well, well, well. Guess what I just found out.
Johnny Corben has a rap sheet.
Two previous arrests for grand theft auto
plea bargained to probation and half a dozen misdemeanors.
I'm calling, Lucy.
Lois, you might wanna think about it for a minute.
In my experience, people don't exactly
like to be told that they're wrong.
- It could backfire on you. - Hmm.
What do you think I should do?
I don't know, you know her better than I do.
Apparently not, you just told me what I was going to do is wrong.
I didn't say you were wrong, I said you should think about it.
Well, I've thought about it and now
I'm not sure what to do, I could use your help.
Oh, I don't know, I mean.. I've never really had siblings.
Uh, pardon me.
I could be wrong, but my instinct tells me
'that this little discussion is not work related.'
Now, in case anyone's interested
this is what our page one lead in looks like
at the present moment.
'Do you think that there's any chance'
that we might get little ink in these two columns
before I put this baby to bed?
Or am I just, uh, blowing smoke in the air.
- We'll get right on it, chief. - Well, thank you very much.
You, uh, just made my day.
So, what angle do you think we should take?
Well, none of the labs that I spoke to
reported any theft of uranium.
But apparently when LexCorp broke up
there was a substantial amount missing from LexLabs.
LexLabs, how long is Luther gonna haunt Metropolis?
This is everything I could find on robots.
You alright, Jimmy?
Yeah, I guess, I..
They raised my rent, and I can't afford it
so, I gotta find a new place.
Why don't you ask Perry for a raise?
Ask for a raise, I don't think so.
I saw Pete in sports asked for a raise
and a week later, he was gone.
Jimmy, unlike Pete, you are good at your job.
Remember, it's the squeaky wheel that gets greased.
Or they get a new wheel, I just gotta find a way
to get the chief to notice my work.
Well, there is a photographer who used to ha--
Hey, Virgil, we got an armored car robbery
going down at third and Shuster. Get your camera.
- 'I'm on it.' - Virg, it's okay.
- I'll take care of it. - 'I'm off it.'
I'm in the mood for some frozen yogurt, you want some?
- Clark, we've work to do. - It'll only take a second.
Come on, what flavor?
- Surprise me. - Okay.
[groaning] Oh, Angel. Oh, where did you go?
I gotta get to a hospital.
Don't worry, John, I called a couple of doctors I heard about.
- I told 'em to meet us here. - It hurts.
Thanks, Superman, two other suspects took off
in a green Chevy, we wounded one of 'em.
They probably switched cars by now.
I'll take a look from the air.
He's alive. But not for long.
Alright. Get him out, get him out, come on.
You do a very nice impression of a tree.
Now how about giving us a hand?
- Where's my money? - Look..
The deal was for a living human brain delivered to my door.
'Now, the longer you stand around there'
flapping your lips, Mr..
Whoever you are, the less chance you've got of collecting.
Now, come on, help us.
Hey! What happened to you? You've been gone two hours.
- Where's my yogurt? - Oh, right, yogurt.
W.. Remember how you said to surprise you?
Yeah.
Well, I didn't bring you anything.
Hah, surprise.
So what did you find out?
Well..
All of LexCorp's lab records are on file at DataStor.
What's that?
It's a private computer data storage service.
- And you think I'm fat, right? - What?
That's why you didn't bring me any yogurt. You think I'm fat.
Lois, believe me, I do not think you're fat.
I just thought..
You know, it might be funny
to not bring you anything.
Oh. Some of that cutting edge Smallville humor?
Lois, what are you doing?
Well, I was gonna try and access
the LexCorp lab records at DataStor
but their password is some impossible alphanumeric code.
You mind if I give it a try?
Go ahead, should only take you 10 years
to go through all the possible combinations.
How did you..
Oh, I figured you can't be funny
you might as well be lucky.
Okay, I've accessed the LexLab security records.
Look, there's a report of a uranium theft dated last march.
"Filed by, Doctor Emmet Vale."
"Head of robotics."
Bingo.
Hello, John.
How are you feeling?
I..
- He's stuck. - I..
Those Teflon semiconductors.
I told you they wouldn't work.
He is not stuck!
I..
...feel tired.
Told you so.
John, you're going to be just fine.
In fact..
...you're going to be better than you've ever been before.
You would've died of those bullet wounds
if your friend hadn't brought you to us.
I saved your life.
Excuse me, we saved your life.
I..
...have no feeling in my body.
- How come? - Well, that's because..
Well, because you're a, uh..
Tell him, Emmet.
Hey! What is this?
Oh, great, a robot with a temper.
- Nice going. - Shut up.
Uh, John, we had to make you a new body.
(Rollie) 'Yeah, you see, the old one was..'
Well, frankly, full of holes.
- No. - No!
Wow, look how strong you are.
What am I?
Well, actually, you're a robot.
Cyborg, cyborg, robot.
You're a mixture of man and machine.
'The best of both.'
'There's no one else in the world like you.'
'You're gonna be famous.'
Think about it, John.
You can have anything you want.
Together, we will own Metropolis.
Oh, hey.
I was just holding both of you..
...in the air.
Totally cool.
Whoa, yeah, like the six million dollar man.
Yeah.
Do I run on batteries, or what?
No, no. You have a very special power source.
Let me show you.
Whoa-ho-ho-hoo!
- What is it? - It's called Kryptonite.
And it never runs out.
Just like the bunny, huh?
Yes, that's it. Just like the bunny.
[gasps] This is outrageous, man.
Yeah, whoo. I can really kick some butt.
Uh, Johnny, Johnny. We must go slowly.
You're still in the experimental stage.
- Go slowly? - Aah!
Go slowly?
You go slowly, doc.
There ain't nobody that's gonna mess with me.
I'm as strong as Superman.
This is really nice.
What suddenly made you decide
to invite me over for breakfast?
Oh, what's sudden, wanted to do this
since you got back to the city.
Anyway, it's only oatmeal.
It's the only thing I know how to make for breakfast
that doesn't require a toaster.
Could you just move that stuff?
Sorry it's such a mess, can't believe the amount of work
I have to bring home.
Oh, wow, that was so stupid.
(Lucy) What's this?
What's what?
I can't believe you did this.
Well, don't get huffy with me.
I'm not the one who is dating a guy
who likes to pose front and side.
This was all a charade, wasn't it?
Why don't you just fold his rap sheet
into an airplane and throw it at my head?
I've never been good at those planes..
Lucy, that's not the point.
Oh, what is the point?
That I'm naive? That I can't handle a relationship?
Or maybe you're just upset that I found someone
who cares about me, and you can't.
I may not have a guy in my life right now
but at least I am not throwing my money away
on some deadbeat.
You eavesdrop, too?
You're incredible.
Is there nothing you won't stoop to?
Lucy! I just didn't want you to get hurt.
Yeah, well, you failed. 'Cause this hurts a lot.
Uh, good...morning.
Eeh, let me guess. It backfired on you.
It didn't backfire, it's a work in progress.
Why are you here?
Well, I couldn't locate, Emmet Vale
but I did find his ex. She might be worth a visit.
Okay, I'll get dressed.
There's some oatmeal if you want.
- Did you make it? - Yeah.
You probably don't believe that.
No...I believe it.
Uh, chief, chief.
Chief, uh, I-I see you used one of my shots
for the armored car story.
Oh, well, been little hard not to, Jimmy, seeing how
you were the only photographer I had down there.
[chuckles] That's true, but, um..
Lately, I-I think, uh, my work has been
as good as some of the veteran shooters, you know?
Um, s-some of the better paid ones.
Hmm, now is this little..
...trip just for fun or did you, uh..
...have a particular destination in mind?
No, no, I, I just, uh..
I-I guess, I just wanted a pat on the back.
Oh, right, okay.
Thanks.
What'll it be, handsome?
- Uh, Mrs. Vale? - Who wants to know?
We're reporters from the "Daily Planet."
We're trying to locate your ex-husband.
So am I, try looking in a sewer.
- Uh, how are your hot dogs? - They're great.
May I have one, please? Mustard, no onions.
We think that your ex-husband might have something to do
with that robot that robbed the jewelry store.
[chuckles] Good, maybe I'll start getting my alimony.
I can quit this stinking job.
So, you think he might have something to do with it?
Well, the jerk was obsessed with robots.
His big dream was to create a cyborg.
What do you think?
A cyborg, a robot with a human brain?
Perfect playmate for Emmet.
Dumping him was the best thing I ever did.
The jerk couldn't do anything unless a mechanical device
was involved. And I mean anything.
Do you know if he set up a laboratory somewhere
after he was laid off from LexCorp?
[chuckles] I doubt it, he's got no brains for
Now his brother, Rollie, he was a smart one.
He could do anything. I should've married him.
Do you know where Rollie is?
Last I heard, he was trying to write for some science magazine
futureplex, futurewhiz, future something.
[automated] 'Welcome to Easy Cash.'
- Do you mind? - Mm-mm, not at all.
Wh-wh-where you going?
We are just getting to know each other.
And why would I want to know you?
Because, baby, very soon
I am going to be the biggest thing that ever hit this town.
Oh, great.
Ahh, hey!
Hey, gee, you think I need a Band-Aid?
Ohh!
Mmm! Oh, darn!
I forgot my card.
[automated] 'Thank you, for using Easy Cash.'
Gee, John, that's quite a hole in your hand.
Almost matches the one in your head, get in.
Not now, doc, I got an old friend I wanna go see.
Wait a minute, John, that..
That woman's gonna go straight to the cops.
They'll be looking for you.
Who cares, the cops can't stop me.
Give it a human brain, you said.
Everything will be perfect with a human brain.
Rollie, you're giving me a headache.
Excuse me, "Daily Planet."
Another robot?
Our witness decided to take a..
...bite outta crime.
- Did you get a description? - Better.
We got a photo at the ATM security camera.
All I gotta do now is match a name to this face.
- Johnny Corben, Clark! - Do you know this guy?
We saw him a couple of days ago, but he seems perfectly normal.
- For a Neanderthal. - You just made my job easier.
- Thanks for the ID. - Clark, I have to find Lucy.
Okay, I'm gonna stay here and see If I can get
something from the witness.
I got great shots, the one's that could
finally add another zero to the end of my paycheck.
- Great. Show Lois. - Oh, uh, Lois!
Lois, wait for me.
- I thought I was helping you. - Helping me, oh..
[clicks tongue] No, Angel
I think you were helping yourself.
I hear you got 10 grand for me.
And I want half or else I'm gonna snap
your skinny little neck like a pencil.
Okay, John, whatever you say.
You should have kicked it the first time.
[laughing] Oh, Angel.
You know how I hate guns, huh!
Aah!
Oh-ho, nice catch, you know.
Maybe you should consider a new career in the majors.
Then there'd be no one to clean up the filth like you, Corben.
Oh, ho-ho, you know my name. I am impressed.
Now let's see what you got.
Lois, look out!
[laughs] What a wuss.
And I hardly laid a hand on you.
I'll let you walk away if you beg.
My arm! Look at what you did to my arm!
Get the message, pal?
There's only room for one Superman in this town.
Superman.
(Jimmy) 'I called for an ambulance.'
No! No, Jimmy, no pictures.
Do you need some help?
[grunting] I'll...I'll be okay.
All I know is I got dizzy and weak when I got near him.
Yeah, it has to be Kryptonite, mom.
I just don't know if he's made of it or if he's carrying it.
I don't know what I'm going to do, mom.
Yeah, I will.
Okay, bye.
Whoo, baby, I kicked his butt! I hurt him good.
I, Johnny Corben, am the greatest.
- Ain't I? - Oh, definitely the greatest.
A Superhuman pugilist.
A true icon to technology.
- You're done. - Hear that, doc?
I'm a pugilist and an icon.
What is that?
Uh, listen, John..
...although you may be stronger than Superman..
...we...are not.
You must destroy him.
[scoffs] Why?
Why? You mini brained metallic moron!
'Because you've hurt him.'
'And now he's going to come after us.'
John, that wouldn't be a good thing for you
because, if anything were to happen to us
and you short-circuited--
You'd be nothing more than a 200 pound paperweight.
Whoa-oh!
Don't mess with me, doc, because I am crazy enough
to kill you both and take my chances.
John, John, calm down. Rollie's just a little tense.
He didn't take his medication today.
John...listen to me.
If we take out Superman
we become the most powerful crime force in Metropolis
more powerful than intergang.
Okay. Call me when you find Mr. Not Quite Superman.
- Good job, wimpy. - Oh!
Hey, where are you going?
I got somebody to see.
Don't worry, boys. I'll be back.
And how do we find Superman, Emmet?
Oh, that's a no-brainer, Rollie.
We take somebody he's close to..
...and use them as bait.
Never thought I'd see the day when
Superman would lose a fight.
What are you thinking?
Superman was hurt.
I don't know if he has anybody to turn to for help.
Guess I never really thought too much about that.
Superman's always seemed so...invincible.
(Perry) Jimmy, it's time we had a
talk about the quality of your work.
Well, that's great, chief.
I can't tell you when I've been more disappointed.
You let a...a great opportunity
just slip right through your fingers.
Uh, I don't understand.
Jimmy, you had a chance to shoot
what every photo journalist dreams of.
A defining moment in history.
My picture's on the front page.
Oh, yeah, I know that.
But according to eyewitnesses..
This Metallo left Superman beaten.
'Where are those photos?'
Those images that show us that we're alone..
...and vulnerable.
You don't have one shot..
...of the man of steel on his knees.
- I ran outta film, chief. - Oh.
That's not true, Perry.
I told Jimmy not to take those pictures.
Why, why would you do that?
I guess...I didn't want the world to see Superman like that.
Ah. Jimmy, I will talk to you later.
'Lois..'
I know you have personal feelings for Superman.
We all do.
But our job is to report the news exactly as it happens
and not shade it one way or another to suit our needs.
I know, Perry. I made a mistake, it won't happen again.
You know, a part of me says I should..
...assign another reporter to this story.
But the smarter part..
...says I should let my top reporter
prove to me why she's the best.
Alright, go find me this metalhead.
- Hey, how you doing, tiger? - Ahh.
What's the matter with you? You're walking kind of funny.
I, uh, I didn't sleep real well last night.
- Lumpy mattress. - Any leads on Corben, yet?
Police are staking out his apartment
but they don't really expect him to go back there.
- Was Lucy any help? - She's ducking me.
I left messages for her everywhere.
She can be very pigheaded.
And, no, it does not run in the family.
- Do you want some aspirin? - Why?
- For your pain. - Uh, it doesn't do much for me.
Clark.. Have you talked to Superman?
Yeah, briefly.
He's fine, just nursing some bruises.
I don't know why he doesn't contact me.
Well.. He's probably a little bit embarrassed.
Embarrassed?
Does he think that because he couldn't defeat some robot
that that changes the way I feel about him?
Clark, that's not what attracts me.
It's-it's his intelligence and caring.
He's.. He has integrity and an innate goodness.
I mean, he-he's a lot like you.
Hey, I got an address for Rollie Vale.
'That "Futuretech Magazine" says they're always sending'
rejected manuscripts back to him.
- It's a PO Box. - Yeah.
But-but I checked and it's, uh
one of those private mailbox places.
Maybe, they have another address for him.
Jimmy, they're called private for a reason.
Well, there must be some way we can get information on him.
Ahem.
- Johnny. - In the flesh, so to speak.
- Hi. - You like?
I like.
But you didn't get that nicer clothes
with just my tip money.
Well, obviously you haven't heard the news, huh?
What, is my baby been locked up studying?
Yeah, all night, what?
What would you say
if I told you that I hit the lottery?
[gasps] Johnny!
What's wrong, you're ice cold.
Oh, yeah, yeah, but the docs say they can fix that.
I don't understand.
Here. Feel.
Cool, huh? And check out this emblem.
The docs call it a Mobius strip.
That means I am going to live forever.
Oh-ho, don't be scared, babe.
The chassis' changed, but I'm still Johnny, only better.
- Who did this to you? - Uh, some eggheads.
You know what the great part is?
Outta all the losers in the world
I got picked to be special.
Don't worry, Johnny, we'll get through this together.
We'll find someone who can fix you.
- Fix me? - Yeah.
Fix me? W.. Th-there is nothing to fix.
Haven't you been listening?
I-I am the man now.
There ain't nobody more powerful than me.
I kicked Superman's butt yesterday.
Where are you going?
I-I-I need some time to think.
- About what? - Ow, you're hurting me.
I am giving you the chance
to be on top of the world with me.
Johnny, you're hurting me.
I don't need you anyway.
I can have all the chicks I want.
- I'll see you around, babe. - Johnny.
Hello, I'm Inspector Lane, this is Inspector Kent.
We're with the postal inspection service, criminal branch.
We've been tracking one of your customers
we believe is shipping illegal contraband.
We'd like to inspect his mailbox.
Typical government efficiency.
There's one of you here already.
Oh, so they sent you two to spy on me, huh?
They thought I was goldbricking, didn't they?
No. Ha-ha, no. No, not at all. No.
We-we probably have the wrong address.
You want to know what I've been doing, don't you?
Well, for your information, I've been smelling
every package in the place, 47 so far.
My nose is sore, okay.
(Lois) 'Why are you smelling packages?'
(female #1) 'Why? Because you people never sent me'
'the drug sniffing dog you promised me.'
'And let me tell you, there's some pretty awful'
smelling stuff people put in the mail.
'Twenty years on the job, and this is the thanks I get'
'from those pencil pushers downtown.'
And they wonder why I joined the NRA.
Well, I'm sure that you're doing a very good job, really
and, uh, I'm sorry about your nose.
Excuse me, inspector, can I see you outside for a minute?
- Mm-hmm. - Keep up the good work.
Oh, stick a stamp on it.
I found Vale's box, the only thing in it
was a bill from wind-up toy weekly
and an-an envelope with a, an address
return address from a place called Infinity Laboratories.
Clark!
(John) 'Nice seeing you again, Lois.'
Sorry about roughing up your pal here, but this is business.
Corben, let him go, the police are onto you already.
Like I'm really worried.
Listen, you tell Superman to be in Kirby Park by 4 o'clock today
or I'm gonna turn his pal Kent here, into dog food.
'Alright, no matter, what the outcome.'
This is the biggest page-one lead we've had all year.
And I wanna make sure all my bases are covered.
Now, Langdon, I want you and Taylor
to cover the police headquarters.
- 'Yes, chief, on it.' - Robertson, uh..
Lois?
Did you hear from Superman?
The whole city's out looking for him.
Alright, Robertson, I want you to cover City Hall.
Find out what the mayor intends to do if Superman doesn't show.
He'll show, Perry.
He has to.
Lois, I'm worried about Clark, too.
And I want Superman to show up just as much you do
but if he doesn't..
We still got a newspaper to get out.
(Lucy) Lois.
Lucy, where have you been?
Johnny kidnapped Clark, where did he take him?
- What? I don't know, when? - About an hour ago.
You know, your boyfriend Johnny is not just a criminal.
I know, he's not real, I know.
Oh, Lucy..
- Oh, Luce, I'm sorry. - I am, too.
You were right, Lois.
I can't believe my intuition about men can be so far off.
Yeah, well... it's sort of a family trait.
At least Lex Luthor was human.
Johnny...I saw his chest.
It was a piece of metal, it was hideous.
I mean, they even branded him with a symbol.
- What kind of symbol? - He called it a Mobius strip.
A Mobius. Doesn't that look like the symbol for infinity?
Yeah. Why?
Cindy, get me the address for Infinity Laboratories.
- Jimmy, get your camera. - 'On my way, Lois.'
Uh.
You don't look so good, doc.
That's the drawback of having a human body.
What're you gonna do if Superman doesn't show up?
Oh, you don't want to know.
John, unbutton your shirt.
I want to check out the Kryptonite.
(Rollie) 'Keeps on goin'.'
Uh!
So am I ready to rock 'n' roll, doc?
The only thing that's gonna rock or roll around here
is Superman.
Who's that?
Lucy?
- What are you doing here? - I-I had to talk to you, I..
I couldn't let things stay the way we left them.
How did you find this place?
I, uh, I followed, Johnny, after I saw him this morning.
Um, there's a lot of things we need to talk about.
John, we really don't have time for this
tender tete a tete.
No. No, doc, I am going to make time.
Alright, John. You do whatever you like.
Let's not upset the monster.
(Jimmy) 'CK.'
Hey.
- What are we gonna do? - We can't let that girl leave.
You want to tell that cybergenic moron his girlfriend is trouble?
Be my guest.
- Come on, Jimmy, faster. - These things are tight.
Just try yanking on it, Jimmy, maybe it'll snap.
I'm not exactly Stallone.
- Who? - Just pull on it.
- Whoa! - Come on, let's go.
It all came down to one thing.
Did I want you in my life or not?
And the answer was yes.
And this, uh..
...doesn't matter?
- No. - Oh.
Oh, baby.
I think I'm going to be sick.
Emmet, Kent's gone.
Stay here. Jimmy, call the police.
I'm gonna go find Lucy.
John..
'John. She lied, Kent's gone.'
She's a diversion.
What, you betrayed me?
- 'Kill her.' - Let her go, Corben.
It's me you want.
Ho-ho, you got that straight, pretty boy.
Aah!
I hope you don't think I'm antisocial but
I'll keep my distance this time.
It's over, Corben.
Get him!
Get him, get him.
He can't get him, Emmet, because you didn't give him
the ability to leap, like I told you.
Shut up!
You know, there's a major flaw
in creating a man with a metal body.
Metal melts.
No! No!
Ah!
A-ah, no!
Aah.
Lucy.
(John) A-ah, no!
[grunts] Help me, doc.
Sure, John, let me just take a look at your power source.
- Ah. - What are you doing, doc?
Get in the car.
Oh.
Didn't your mother ever teach you to put your toys away
when you're done playing with them?
- Lucy, are you okay? - Yeah.
Johnny.
Oh, my God.
- I.. - Oh, my God, Johnny.
- I.. - Jimmy, no.
(John) 'I..'
Go ahead.
I..
How you feeling?
Okay, but I'd feel a lot better
if Rollie Vale wasn't still out there.
Lois..
You saved my life yesterday.
I just want you to know that I'll never forget that.
Clark. What the heck are you doing here?
I thought I told you to take some time off.
I know, chief, but..
I guess this place is kind of habit-forming.
Well, you're starting to remind me of somebody else I know.
(Jimmy) 'Hey, chief, chief, I, uh'
I see you ran my photo.
Guess you liked my work yesterday, huh?
Yup, Jimmy, I liked it a lot.
(Jimmy) 'Well, um, in-in light of that good work'
I was thinking that..
[exhales] Well..
I-I was thinking that..
...maybe I deserve a raise..
...sir.
Hmm.
Jimmy, I, uh..
I think you're long overdue for a raise.
- You do? - Yeah.
W-why haven't I gotten one then?
You never asked for one.
I'm sorry. I guess I didn't realize how late it was.
Well, it's not late, I was just
taking an early bath.
I wanted to apologize
for having left so abruptly the other day.
You don't have to apologize.
And I guess, I was a little worried.
Actually, I was very worried about you.
Lois..
You know, I thought, for a while there
that I might never see you again.
I'm..
I'm sorry you had to go through that.
Lois, I want you to know that..
I think that, what you did for Clark
showed incredible bravery.
It was nothing.
Was it?
I guess not.
I guess there isn't anything I wouldn't do for him.
I think you two are... very lucky to have each other.
Goodnight, Lois.
[automated] 'Hi, this is Clark, I'm not home right now'
'So, please leave a message after the beep'
'and I will call you as soon as I can, thanks.'
