04x12 - To Be Human: Part 2

[bunniefuu]

When Allen d*ed..

it was like the whole world

came crashing down.

My only son.

What could be worse?

And then a year later

Joe, my husband had a stroke.

Both of them gone.

How could you go on?

I had my work..

and my faith.

Faith?

In something bigger.

In a power beyond this

worldthat watches over us.

And works through us.

Even in..

Especially

in the darkest times.

I don't think,

I'm ready for philosophy yet.

Now philosophy

has nothing to do with it.

It's not about words

in a book..

or a bearded guard

on a throne somewhere.

It's about people.

Normal people

like you and me.

Normal people?

Helping each other

and our world.

The way we've been

able to help you.

That's what

this lab grew out of.

Weak as a kid.

All your strength gone.

No rhyme, no reason.

Everything spinning

out of control.

Running downeven you.

In my heart of hearts, I hope

you believe you can stop me.

Now, look at you.

The boy of steel.

The champion of the downtrodden.

You're a joke.

(man on TV)

The following is a forced.

Are you all getting this?

Do you understand now?

Either you embrace

the Chaos, or you drown.

I was like him once.

I bought the whole package.

I believed in hopes, dreams..

power of science

to create a utopian future

where there'll be no wars.

Starvationdestruction

of the ecosystem.

I was gonna save the whole

planet, all by myself.

I know him. He came

here looking for funding.

He's brilliant, passionate

but he's so impatient.

You can bleed for the world

for just so long..

before it takes it's toll.

I was working on

a new non-polluting fuel.

My lab exploded.

My world went up

in flaming Chaos.

That's when I realized

what a fool I've been.

Trying to save a planet

spiraling into madness.

The only solution was

to become one with the madness.

So I could clear

the end of an old era

and the dawn of a new age,

the age of Chaos.

And it begins at midnight

tonight when I climb to the top

of the tallest building

in Capitol City

the Maywood Tower

and toss this pathetic symbol

of all your false beliefs

to his well-deserved death.

Aw-w-w!

[claps]

Things fall apart.

Somy boys and girls

sleep tight if you can.

Oh, here's a preview

of your dreams.

[expl*si*n]

[tires screeching]

How the mighty have fallen!

You really thought, you were

gonna keep flying on forever

didn't you,

Mr. Goodness in virtue

Mr. Immune to the insanity.

Beginning to catch

on now, aren't you?

Aren't you?

[dramatic music]

You idiot! Do you

realize what you've done?

All my plans..

[laughing]

Things fall apart.

Well, I'll never make it

to the tower on foot

so I might as well just

go back to the Paradiso.

- One roof's as good as another.

- Chaos!

It lives,

it breathes, it speaks.

Letme help.

After all I've done to you.

[sizzling]

It's a good thing we're

finishing you off tonight.

You'll never last

a minute in my new world.

[intense music]

(Lana)

They did? Where was it?

Okay, thanks.

I'll be right there.

Where're you going?

The Police found

Chaos's car. It was wrecked.

- Was anybody injured?

- No, it was empty.

- But I'm going there right now.

- You can't.

Matt! You know,

I'm going to go.

Jackson said, I have to report

you if I see you leaving again.

Now, what am I

supposed to do?

Don't look.

What do you know?

Loose laces!

I better tighten

'em up before I trip.

I knew the technology

would have some side effects.

But nothing this bad.

And I have no way

of knowing whether

Superboy's weakened state

is temporary or permanent.

Not that it'll matter

if he goes off that building.

Dammit! I wish I paid more

attention to those dizzy spells.

It's hopeless.

If we could just

get him back here.

How? Right now we need

Superboy just to save Superboy.

Or someone with his power.

Bizarro?

The process

could be reversed.

And then afterwards,

you can change me back?

The technology

is too unpredictable.

You've seen

what's happened already.

Then I won't do it.

There are police out there,

National Guard.

Let them save him.

Let them stop Chaos.

I'm not telling

you what to do Bill.

Why does it have to be me?

This life, this world,

if I go back to what I was

I'll loose everything.

Who you are, isn't in the way

in the way you look..

or talk or think.

It's in here.

Can you stand there and tell me

that, if I let you do this

that people won't look at me

as if I'm some hideous monster.

Some inhuman thing?

[melancholic music]

This has to be

Superboy's doing.

Only his heat vision could

possibly do something like that.

It's some prank, lady.

It's probably

the name of a rock band.

Look, I got to get over

to the tower, I'm sorry.

They're not at the tower.

There's an old hotel,

The Paradiso.

It's been abandoned

for years.

Look, I got more important

things to worry about

tonight than some

stupid prank.

Why won't you listen to me?

[melancholic music]

How did you know?

Oh, when I'm hurting

or confused..

I'll go out

and talk to Allen and Joe.

I thought maybe

you'd do the same thing.

I still miss her.

I loved her so much..

and she loved me.

No judgment, no conditions

just an open caring heart.

She was a hideous monster.

An inhuman thing.

No! She wasjust..

[music continues]

[dramatic music]

Don't!

[Chaos laughing]

Oh, no! No, no, no..

See, you of all

people should understand.

You go out there, day after day,

bleeding for humanity.

Trying to make a difference.

Look at the world..

For all you've done,

nothing's changed.

Ah-ho-o-o! No, answer.

Because you know, I'm right.

Well, after you're gone,

they'll all know, I'm right.

If I have to level this

entire city, they'll know.

[dramatic music]

Now, that was really stupid.

No, really.

That was really..

[laughing]

Come on in. Oh, I think

a friend of yours is here.

(Lana)

Superboy!

You see, is she

what I mean?

You think,

you're about to win?

You think, you've got all the

pieces nicely fitted into place?

I'm Chaos.

[whirring]

Let's go.

[intense music]

Goodbye, Allen.

Midnight! The dawn of a new age!

I swear to you little girl,

I will blow you to pieces

and believe me,

I know what that feels like.

It's not very pleasant.

Farewell to paradise.

[grunts]

(Lana)

Ah-h!

[grunts]

[music continues]

Ah-h!

Ah, things fall apart.

It's, um, over.

You are saving him?

Look at yourself.

Look at me.

You're not a part of his

world, you're a part of mine.

Part of the Chaos.

Join me.

We're two of a kind..

Brothers.

Me only have one..

brother.

(Lana)

Are you alright?

[slow music]

Thanks.

Me did, what me

had to do.

Now, me freak again.

You're as human a soul

as I've ever known.

Wait!

Where do you think

you're going?

We've got a lot

of work ahead of us.

A, is for apple..

auntyalligator.

Hm..

A, um, for apple..

aunty

and a-a, a--

(together)

Al-li-ga-tor.

That's good.

That's really good.

Well, me..

Well, I have good teachers.
