01x26 - Luthor Unleashed

[bunniefuu]

[theme music]

[intense music]

Can I, uh,

see your ID, sir?

Sure.

[buzzing]

Now, open the gate

or I'll fry your brains.

Open it!

(male on speaker)

All soldiers down

[buzzing]

[buzzing]

[buzzing]

[all screaming]

Hey, you, halt!

I said, halt!

[buzzing]

Open the case.

Are you crazy, soldier?

This is top secret.

Open it!

[buzzing]

They never learn do they, Leo?

How are we gonna

get in now?

Watch Lex Luthor

show you the way.

[buzzing]

They were wearing

ROTC uniforms.

Schuster university is

the only school in this area

with an ROTC program.

[knocking on door]

Major, T.J. White,

Clark Kent.

The two students I mentioned,

the ones who could help us.

I sure hope so.

This, uh, g*n that was

takenexactly what is it?

The Thermatron 14 is a

heat seeking laser w*apon

and can be handled

like a r*fle.

It's calibrated to seek out

body temperature.

Can k*ll a man out of 1000 yards

by pointing in his direction.

Very scary.

- No pictures, please.

- No..

This project has not been

cleared for publication.

Yeah, I'll make sure that

doesn't happen again, major.

I told the major you'd do

some investigating on campus.

Anything you can come up

with we'll appreciate it.

Yeah, well, we'll

give it a try, Lieutenant.

Um, lieutenant,

I-I was just gonna say

well, just because

they had ROTC uniforms on

doesn't mean they had

to be students.

From the evidence that

seems to be our best bet.

Uh, how about going in

that direction for now?

Like, right now.

- Oh.

- Oh.

Only one student I know who

could do something like this.

- Lex?

- Luthor, man?

He didn't even

belong to ROTC.

You think a little detail like

that's gonna get in his way.

Guess not.

Hey, Lex, the word's out

that the ROTC guys

are assembling

on campus in full dress

Mmm-hmm.

Seems that the army brass

are on their way

in to identify some crooks,

who made off with some

army equipment.

What's happened to patriotism

in this country, Leo?

It's a sad commentary

when even the army is

no longer sacred.

Oh, you're right, Lex,

it's a sad commentary.

Have you contacted

our clients, yet?

Um, yeah, all three

of the organizations.

One's ready to deal right now.

But the other two have to wait

for some higher authority.

Is that a fact? Well,

I'm a patient man right, Leo?

That's right, Lex. No one can

accuse you of impatience.

So, why don't we just deal with

the one who's ready now?

'Cause Leo, the fun of the game

is not just the profit.

It's the delight in watching

them bid against each other.

The joy of observing

their anxieties.

Their terror of feeling to

acquire what they've been

ordered to acquire.

Electric, isn't it?

That's sour thinking, Lex.

- Sour thinking.

- Mmm-hmm.

Oh, but what's this all about?

Entrepreneurship.

Foresight.

Chemical warfare, Leo.

One must think ahead.

Now, what good is it gonna do

to interview Lex Luthor?

I mean, his-his sickening

arrogance is only exceeded

by his lying skill.

That's true, but if we can

get into his dorm room--

Wa-Wait. Is he gonna be

dumb enough to keep hot army

equipment in his dorm room.

No, but we might be find a clue

as to where he's hiding it.

I feel we're doing

injustice by suspecting

the guy without any proof.

Wa-wait. There's nothing

that can be done to Lex Luthor

that can be considered

an injustice.

Hi! So who's buyin'

lunch today?

Depends. If you eat your usual

quarter we'll run out of money.

There is a woman starving

here and you makin' a joke.

Oh, I'm just kinda warmin' up.

- Come on, come on.

- Okay.

Absorbs into the pores.

It's brilliant.

[intense music]

Uhh!

[alarm ringing]

[people screaming]

[upbeat music]

Superboy!

Titanium and phosphorous.

Didn't your mother teach you not

to play with unstable chemicals?

Right up, there.

[mellow music]

Lex! Are you alright?

- I don't know?

- Here. Lie down.

Superboy saved my life.

Yeah.

You're being so nice.

Don't try and talk, Lex.

Where did you disappear?

You were right behind me.

He left me in the dust.

You should go off a track.

So what happened?

Well, Mr. Wonderful, nearly

blew himself up in the lab.

And then finally, Superboy

did a disservice to humanity.

He saved Lex Luthor.

You think you can stand up?

Why is she

letting him do that?

Hey, don't worry about Lana.

She knows how Lex really is.

Right. Hai!

About. Hai!

Right. Hai!

Uh, thank you, Lieutenant.

It's none of these.

Thanks.

No luck.

Wish we could be

of more help, Lieutenant.

Army intelligence is anxious

to get Superboy into this.

Like you guys to get

a message to him if you can.

[horn blowing]

- Out of the way.

- Watch out, guys.

I like it.

I love it.

All these red roses

are for Lana.

Lex is a nice guy,

isn't he, Felix?

This is for you, Lana.

Thank you, Leo.

Grab that one.

From, uh, guess who?

Gee, I wonder, considering

who the messenger is.

I knew you would act like this.

But I just expect a little

bit more from you, Clark.

"To a very gracious woman

from a very grateful man. Lex"

(T.J.)

I hear it, but I

Why are you guys

such downers?

Lex is trying

so hard to be nice.

- You think he's trying hard.

- I think he is convincing her.

Would you stop referring

to me like I'm not here?

- What are you so angry about?

- I'm not angry.

I mean, can't you give anyone

the benefit of the doubt.

Lana, here, read my lips

we're talking about Lex Luthor.

- Hello?

- If you'll excuse me.

I'm gonna go put

the flowers in some water.

Okay, if you run short, there's

a reservoir couple miles down.

Ah!

Oh, Clark.

[knocking on door]

It's unlocked, Leo.

- Hey, Lex, looking good.

- Thanks, Leo.

This is the first time

you ever said, thanks, to me.

I'm in a pretty good mood.

I got the calls

we've been waiting for.

All three organizations

are ready to deal.

WellI'm not

ready for them.

Lex, but this is what

we've been waiting for.

Let them wait.

Lex, begging your pardon,

but what could be more

important than what

we've been talking about?

Lana Lang.

[mellow music]

[knocking on door]

Lana, it's Lex.

Lex?

- Hi.

- Hi.

[knocking on door]

Excuse me there, boss.

But we'd like to talk to Lex.

Um, he's not here.

He's out on a date.

Oh, yeah. We'd like a word

with you thenLeo.

You know, Leo, the whole

ROTC is under suspicion

about what happened

at the army base.

Yeah, m*llitary intelligence.

Lieutenant Harris, CIA, FBI.

All getting involved here, Leo.

If you know anything about uh,

couple of missing ROTC uniforms

you might wanna

say something to somebody

well, now's the time. Okay?

Yeah, I wanna say something

to you. Get out.

Hold on a second.

- Whose Lex got the date with?

- Certain friend of yours.

[knocking on door]

Lex, come on,

open up, man.

It's me, Leo.

Come on, man. Open up.

- Hold on a minute.

- Come on, open up the door.

It's unlocked,

dummy. Get in here.

Okay, Lex, alright.

I'm in, I'm in.

I told you a thousand times to

walk like you got a purpose.

I just got another

call from those guys

about the Thermatron 14.

I told you, Leo, that if..

Ho-wow, that's

really rad, man.

But don't you think it's gone a

little bit too far with punk?

Superboy did this to me.

He knew there was titanium

and phosphorous in the lab.

You're gonna pay

for this, Superboy.

You're gonna pay.

[screaming]

(Lex)

I want you to contact

All three of 'em.

Way to go, Lex.

We're back on track.

Don't interrupt me, Leo.

Tell them that Thermatron 14

is available tomorrow morning

Wilson's Field, 9 a.m., sharp.

Are you listening? Good.

I'll need their top assassins

from each organization.

Say, cons or assassins?

Lex, I mean, if we're

talking money..

The money is just the

icing on the cake, Leo.

I'm talking, Hitmen.

Death. Superboy's death.

- Lana.

- Uh, hi, Lex.

Could you spare me

a few moments in private?

Of course.

Go, Schister!

Lana, I need a favor,

if you would grant it.

Consider it granted.

Isn't it a bit warm

to be wearing a hat?

Uh, Lex, why did you

shave your head?

Not shaved. I'm bald.

Oh, Lex.

Made bald, by

your friend, Superboy.

He would not do that.

Deliberately blew those

chemicals through my hair.

k*lling the follicles.

You're not

being reasonable, Lex.

Damn right, I'm not

being reasonable.

Would you be reasonable,

if somebody deliberately

stole your hair?

On purpose, on purpose.

Well, why would he do that?

'Cause he hates me.

You all hate me.

No, Lex, you're wrong.

Don't you ever

tell me, I'm wrong.

You hate me.

You all hate me.

You! You, obnoxious brains.

You hate me because

I'm smarter than you.

Now, about that favor I want.

You tell Mr. Save Humanity,

Superboy that if he wants

the Thermatron 14,

it will be at Wilson's Medal

tomorrow morning.

Got it?

And give him this.

Never mind, it's

all I've got.

Lieutenant Harris called.

Wanted to know if you contacted

Superboy yet.

Not yet.

But I got a message

in the pipeline.

So, Lana, how did your

date go, last night?

Lex, hit me.

He did what?

He didn't hurt me.

And I was so sure that

he had well, changed.

Now I know why I'm

a romantic washout.

You've to belt a woman

to turn her on.

- Why did he hit you?

- She looks like his mother.

He totally freaked out.

Suddenly he's gone bald.

Bald? As in no hair. Bald.

How do you go bald overnight?

I don't know. He blames

Superboy for it.

Some wild nonsense about him

doing it to him deliberately.

I'm really confused.

Just yesterday he was

thanking Superboy

for saving his life.

I know.

Oh, he also has

a message for Superboy.

Tell me what? I'll try

to pass it onto him.

Bald?

[intense music]

Now, so that there is

no misunderstanding

let me repeat myself.

The one who kills Superboy

has first sh*t to buy the

Thermatron 14.

[horse neighing]

(Lex)

I like confidence in a k*ller.

Let me caution you, you'll be

facing no ordinary gladiator.

That's why I have

brought you an edge.

I call it..

sonic blaster.

I think you'll find it

very effective.

Lex! Look, it's Superboy.

[upbeat music]

This time you've gone

way too far, Lex.

Too far, Superboy?

No.

[buzzing]

Gentlemen, be my guest.

Lex, I was worried that

Superboy wouldn't be affected.

(Leo)

Well, you know, with the--

Looks like he's more

vulnerable than anybody else.

His super hearing

is so sensitive.

Aah!

Ah! Ah!

Cut it off, Lex.

You're k*lling the ninja.

What? And let

Superboy off the hook.

(Lex)

No way.

My ear, stop it,

stop it. Aah!

(Leo)

You k*lled him.

But it serves Superboy.

[upbeat music]

It's time to do the job myself.

Lex, let me help you.

Idiot.

[mellow music]

And why is it

that we fast, brothers?

To partake of the

suffering of mankind.

Be sure there is suffering.

The pains of hunger

and of the flesh

of the spirit.

And we will continue to fast

till the end of this month

in communion with our

tortured brothers

on this finite planet,

till we obtain infinity.

Yeah, brothers we will honor

this fast going through

our bodies and our spirits.

No food or water

will pass our lips.

And I say, Amen.

[soft music]

[dramatic music]

Let us, holy brother..

Let us pray for the day..

that we may do

unto Superboy.

And Superboy is done unto us.
