03x25 - The Road to Hell: Part 1

[bunniefuu]

[announcer] Rocketed

from a distant planet

to a bold new destiny

on Earth.

Found by a Kansas family

and raised as Clark Kent,

he learned he possessed

a strength of steel,

the speed of light,

and the desire to

help all mankind.

He is Superboy.

[child cooing]

[cooing]

[snake hisses]

[continues cooing]

[Dr. Winger] This isn't how

it should've turned out.

We can't let him

grow up like that.

It would be

such a waste.

Looks like it

might be too late.

Maybe.

Maybe it's too late

for you and me

But not for him.

- [electricity surges]

- [men shout]

[woman screams]

Just hold still, lady!

We're gonna get

you out of there.

- [sobs] Help!

- You gotta stay still!

We'll get you out.

Are you all right?

I just stopped to fix my eye

and this thing fell on me.

I don't know

how to thank you.

It's all

Do I know you

from somewhere?

Serena Smith.

Maybe you've seen

some of my films.

Oh, maybe, but I usually

don't have time for that.

Oh yeah,

I guess you wouldn't.

Oh!

Let me give you a reward.

No. Thanks. I can't.

Oh well

Here.

Take this than.

[crowd gasps]

[people chattering]

So, the guy in this

movie drops himself

onto the m*ssile

and then goes right

into the target. Bam!

Isn't that something?

Hi Doug. Hi Cindy.

OK, give this to Debbie

What's-Her-Name, in personnel.

Mr. Jackson,

here's your sandwich.

Sorry I'm late.

What are you

talkin' about?

Very funny.

OK, who's the wise guy?

OK, look

this is what happened.

One of these clowns

called up and ordered

something under my name

trying to be funny.

Probably tuna fish,

they know I hate tuna.

It's pastrami.

You told me to get yourself

like you always do.

I didn't ask you

to do anything.

I don't even know you.

Look, here's something

for your trouble.

I know this

wasn't your idea.

Here.

- Mr. Jackson?

- Sorry, I'm busy, son.

- Son? I'm Clark.

- Glad to meet you.

- But I work here.

- Sure you do.

I do. You know me.

Tell him.

- Come on.

- Let's get out of here.

It's a joke, isn't it?

You're always telling me

I'm too serious.

Well, you got me.

Wait till I tell Lana.

It'll have to

wait, friend.

She's out in the field.

No way, you don't let

Lana do field work.

Looks like you don't

know so much after all.

Lana's been

doing field work for

the last two years.

- Now, let's go.

- Well

This is a joke, isn't it?

As soon as I get to the door

everybody's gonna

start laughing?

Well, you're there now.

I don't hear anybody laughing.

Matt, maybe he's

sick or somethin'.

You OK?

I don't know.

- Eddie.

- Yes?

- Don't you know me?

- Am I supposed to?

Are you buying something,

or are you just free reading?

She wasn't k*lled.

Superboy saved her.

- Who?

- Superboy.

- You know, he flies

- A boy that flies?

Not in this world.

Uh-uh. Excuse me.

Ain't no such thing.

Uh-uh. No, no, no.

Ain't no boy who can

fly in this world.

In what other?

Not in this world

Hi Eddie,

who was that?

Lana, you're back.

How was the investigation?

It was fine.

What was he saying

about a Superboy?

Sounded like

he knew the boy.

Said he could fly.

And he's not

your type, Lana.

Well, you never know.

- Dr. Winger?

- Yes?

What can I do for you?

Something happened to me,

I think you might be able

to help.

What's wrong?

I don't belong here.

I'm from a different

dimension.

That's impossible.

A friend of mine

traveled through

the dimensions before.

There are billions

of worlds out there.

Similar to this one,

but different, too.

I mean, you know about them.

You've been working

on the theory.

How? How do you know that?

There are other

Dr. Wingers.

I've met them.

You couldn't

have come here.

There's no way.

Well, haven't you

built a portal?

A portal?

[chuckles]

You mean this?

Where's the real one?

There is no real one.

It's the best I could do

with no money.

College is practically broke.

Well, what about

the academic fund?

Superboy helped raise

money for it.

Super who?

Lana?

I think you have me

confused with someone else.

You're right.

It's another Lana,

I'm sorry.

Wait.

Back at the bureau,

you were talking about

a boy who could fly?

That was nothing.

No one's ever heard

of him here.

I have.

There is rumors about a boy

in the jungle who can fly.

Is that who you're

talking about?

I'm not sure.

Well, think.

Could be really

important.

If he exists,

imagine all the things

he could do for the world.

All the damage

he could cause.

I'm really not sure,

but maybe we could

check it out together?

I get along

perfectly well

on my own.

[groaning]

He's really real.

Yes, he is.

And he's going

to be all mine.

[stuttering] That boy

could make us rich,

couldn't he?

Rich? Ha!

We could own the world.

Why is it that you

always think so small, Lex?

If it wasn't for me,

you'd still be writing

those stupid equations.

[stutters]

They weren't stupid.

Pi to the millionth place

of whatever. Who cares?

Well, it was

the ch-challenge.

The challenge?

You want a challenge, Lex?

This kid

this kid is a challenge!

[groans]

Well, look who's here.

My curiosity

got the best of me.

I told you,

I work alone.

Taxi! Taxi!

It's the only taxi in town,

looks like somebody already

hired him.

Somebody?

Well, I hope you're

stronger than you look.

Oh, I am.

[grunts]

[groans]

By the way,

how did you get

here before me?

I flew.

I knew he'd follow her.

Everything's going to

work out just right.

All right,

careful, careful.

Careful!

You know, we could use a

little help over here, Lex.

[stutters]

In a m-m-minute.

No, no, no.

Not in a "m-m-minute."

Now.

Careful!

Oh, what's the matter?

Did I break Lexy-wexy's

magic crystal?

There's nothing

m-magical about it.

Yeah, well there better

be something magical

after what you paid for it.

Look, the natives

say that it can

stop the w-w-wild boy.

Oh, come on, Lex.

Why don't you just

face it.

You got b*at out of

200 bucks from a guy

who walks around with

a dish in his mouth.

Now, put that

stupid thing away

and come over and

give us a hand!

What is that?

Some kind of UFO?

No I don't know.

Clark, one of

these crystals have

been broken off.

- Clark?

- It can't be.

Well, what is it?

Clark?

Have you seen

this before?

Not this one.

Oh! Oh!

We did it!

Lex! We did it!

I did it!

I am rich!

I am so rich!

I'm a genius.

I am a genius.

[breaking]

How'd he do that?

Lex, don't.

Lex!

I am your father.

We've been

searching for you

for years.

We thought we'd

lost you.

This

is your mother.

[haltingly] Father.

M-mother.

Clark, you still haven't

told me why you acted

that way back there.

Lana, it's just

that like

[boy] Father?

Mother?

It's like what, Clark?

There's something

you're not telling me about

that rocket, isn't there.

Lana, could you just

wait right here for me?

What, again?

You just went!

Mm.

Thank you, son.

Thank you.

This kid's a gold mine.

[Superboy] I wouldn't

count on it, Luther.

- There's two of them.

- This one knows you.

But how could that be?

You ever met him before?

A g-guy who flies?

I think I'd remember.

Stay away from

the boy, Luther.

Ah

Do we know each other?

You don't know me,

but I know you.

And I know that

whatever you're planning,

it's not going to work.

No! Please!

Seems he doesn't like you

messing with dear old d-dad.

You're not his father.

Don't listen to him,

he's going to hurt you.

- Father!

- No!

Don't listen to him.

He's bad.

No! Please! No!

See how strong we are?

We're the same person.

No, no, no

I don't want you

to get hurt.

Well, now you're

making sense.

You

are another story.

See, he's a bad man.

Bad.

Bad?

Mm-hm.

Come on, son.

Let's go.

How did you know

that thing was going

to work on him?

Don't you listen?

He said they were

the same person.

Sounds crazy,

but the results

speak for themselves.

Yeah, but don't you think

we should go back there

and finish him off?

I don't think the

K-I-D would approve.

- Who cares what the K-I-D

- I care.

Now, come on.

- Hey, wait just a minute

- Come on!

Lana!

Oh my God.

Are you all right?

We've been

worried about you.

Where am I?

Who are you?

Don't you recognize me?

I'm Dr. Winger.

You've met different

versions of me in the

other dimensions.

See, in this world,

we monitor what goes on

in all the other worlds.

Sometimes we try to

straighten things out.

That's why we sent you

into that other world.

We're sorry things

turned out so badly.

You're sorry?

We'll be sending you

back to your own world,

as soon as we

we calibrate the portal.

There's a younger

version of me

and Luther's got him.

He's not being

very cooperative.

He's also not breathing.
