02x02 - Lex Luthor: Sentenced to Die!

Post by bunniefuu »

You should know

who I really am.

You wanna guess?

I don't know.

Your old school

chum, Lex Luthor.

Lex Luthor is forcing

me to marry him.

I object!

Superboy!

Right on schedule!

Ah-ah-ah-ah,

that's close enough

Superboy!

He's got the g*n!

Say cheese!

You k*lled him!

That was the plan,

my dear wife.

He's still alive,

Professor.

But?

He'll never walk again.

My darling bride,

I promise you

a wedding night

to cherish in your memories.

This'll put the honey

in the honeymoon.

This is what I think

of our honeymoon!

You twisted, vicious--

you crippled super boy!

Yes, I can't tell you

how heartbroken I am about that.

I never intended

for him to live.

How can you have so

much hatred in you?

I don't hate you.

Haven't you ever

just cared about anyone?

Or were you

born a monster?

Well, once a long

time ago when I was

a little boy, I found

this puppy real sweet

cuddly little guy.

I loved that puppy.

I truly did.

So I broke his neck.

I feel so sorry

for you, Lex.

No, my dear,

it's I who feels sorry for you.

You're going

to pay for that.

No.

Superboy'll pay for that.

Superboy,

can you hear me?

Professor Peterson.

How do you feel?

Considering the circumstances,

terrible.

My powers

are mostly gone.

How am I gonna find

Lana and help her

without my

full powers?

Hey, this is what I'm hearing

from superboy,

you're giving up?

I'm getting you

out of here tomorrow and taking

you

to a rehabilitation center.

That's where you should be.

Not bad, not bad at all.

Nice tan.

Mcalister productions Andy

mcalister speaking.

Writer, producer, director.

Andy, what are you doing?

I'm casting for

this movie I wrote.

You're what?

Yeah, it's great!

Clark, you gotta get down here.

There's some

serious babes!

Andy, I'm going to be

away for a while.

This is very important.

I need you to cover for me,

for at least

a couple of weeks.

Now you gotta

let them know

down at the

Shuster Herald.

Well, what, are you

going away with Lana

for a little while?

No, no, no, that's

not it.

But I just can't tell you what

it's about right now.

Hey, no problem.

Big guy, it's cool, don't worry.

Uh did you hear

about Superboy?

He's supposed to be

in some serious trouble

in some hospital or something.

They're not saying a lot.

You

know anything?

No, I haven't found out much

about that.

Well, hey, if you do,

let me know, you know.

I hope he's okay.

I got a small part for him too.

Yeah, yeah I'll do that.

Hey--hey thanks, Andy.

Hey, no problem.

I've been watching you.

Yeah?

So what else is new?

I wanna hire you.

You wanna hire me?

I want you to be my assistant.

My escort.

Run a few errands.

That sort of thing.

A thousand a week?

Make it two thousand.

Honey, I've been

waiting for my ship

to come in, and, uh,

you just docked.

All aboard.

Some champagne,

my beloved?

Over your

dead body.

Hmm, I like that.

Hello?

Yeah, it's all set.

Oh, I wish I could

be there to see it.

I suppose I'd be

recognized.

All that trouble

to get a new face

wasted thanks

to Superboy.

And how are

we tonight?

Fine.

Good.

Da-da-da-daaa! Surprise!

Superboy!

I'm so glad you could drop in

for our wedding!

So sad you're missing

the reception.

But as you can see,

it's very swank,

very plush,

very romantic.

Perfect place to

begin a honeymoon,

don't you think?

I bet you wish you were here.

Hey, Superboy, watch this.

It's gonna take a

real man to give her

everything she deserves.

You know what I mean,

super wimp?

No!

None of it's true!

I hate him!

I'll never give in to him

Superboy!

I love it when you

play hard to get!

And oh, we're so sorry you can't

walk anymore,

but perhaps you can crawl!

-Maybe you're crawling

right now. -Lana!

-Crawl.

Crawl. -Lana!

-Crawl!

-No!

You're nothing.

You're broken and useless

and wasted,

and I've got your girl!

-Da-da-da-daaa!

-Lana! No!

And there's nothing

you can ever do

to get her back!

No!

And the state police haven't

been able

to find out

anything either?

Well, they've called

in the FBI,

and they're following up every

lead they can.

We've gotta find Lana.

And we've gotta get

my powers back.

What if we can't do it?

What if I'm like this

for the rest of my life?

Hey, I've never heard

you like this.

I'm here to help you,

I'm here to help you

find a way out of this.

But if our therapy is to work,

you've got to pull yourself

together.

Hey!

I tell ya.

The nurses told me.

The doctor told me.

Now I see it

and I still don't believe it.

I'm Wally Jones.

I know who you are.

I understand you're

going into rehab

right away.

Yeah.

Eh, good choice.

That's what I did.

You got a good doctor here,

Superboy.

You work hard,

and you're gonna do it.

Looking at you

gives me a lot

more hope than I had

five minutes ago.

Okay.

Just promise me one thing.

Name it.

When you're flying again,

take a spin for me.

You got it.

Superboy, one question, please.

What do the doctors

say about

your condition?

Oh, Superboy!

Superboy, do you know of Lana

LAN's whereabouts?

Oh, how nice!

Your old boyfriend!

Is that a sad face I see

on the Boy of Steel?

Aw, is him sad?

Would you just

stop it, Lex?

Lana, I have a big surprise!

Darla, Lana.

Lana, Darla.

Darla's our new friend. She's

going to be staying with us.

She's very sweet, very nice,

very playful, very inventive.

Maybe Darla can teach Lana some

of our new little naughty games.

Well, she's just your

type, Lex.

I can just imagine what kind

of games she plays.

Hey, look!

You don't know who you're

messing with

here, chick!

Look, I'm really not

in a good mood.

Ladies, ladies, ladies!

No, no, no, no, no, no.

No, woman.

No, woman.

Now, now, now, now, now.

Shh.

Well, now that

you two have gotten

know each other

a little better,

I'm sure we're gonna get along

just fine.

Just fine!

Darling Darla, luscious Lana,

and lovable Lex.

A nice, happy family.

Life is sweet.

Well, I'm afraid

we're gonna have

to leave for a while, my dear.

Darla and I

have some business to attend to.

Some

fun business.

This is a portable model

of the superboy g*n.

I designed it

myself before

my untimely resignation

at Eckworth Industries.

It's a surprise

for Superboy.

You think

he'll like it?

In five, four, three,

two, one!

If you please?

Thank you.

Good evening, and welcome to

news break.

The infamous Lex Luthor and his

new bride,

the former Lana Lang are

enjoying a fabulous honeymoon.

Seems

the happy couple just

can't get enough

of each other.

Meanwhile superboy,

that bastion of truth

and justice is just twiddling

his thumbs.

We're gonna send you

a get well card!

Look at him, how he's tormenting

me like this!

Luthor's on

the rampage

while I'm sitting

here useless!

You're making progress.

It's not good enough.

I've gotta find out

where he is and get

to him.

Wait a minute the tape.

That's it, the tape.

What are you

talking about?

The video tape

Luthor made!

It was taken where

he's holding Lana.

So?

If I had my full

powers back,

I could scrutinize

the tape.

There's gotta be something

in it that can help us.

But your powers

are still weakened.

That's why I've

gotta get them back.

I wanna try

the wood again.

Try this.

Heh, hey!

We're getting something.

To enjoy this moment

of joy, and oh,

we're so sorry you can't

walk anymore.

Wait a minute.

Go back.

Right there.

Very well, hope you enjoy this

moment of joy.

It's, it's funny Lana's

eyes are blinking.

Almost in rhythm.

Like some kind of code.

I can hardly see her

eyes moving at all.

It's right there.

She's trying to tell us

where she is in morse code.

F-I-F-T-H!

Fifth and cypress! That's

it! Way to go, Lana!

A visitor at this hour?

Go see who it is.

I'm here

for Lex Luthor.

Superboy!

What a delightful surprise!

This is a citizen's arrest,

I'm taking you in.

A citizen's arrest?

Well, well, well, look at you.

Regular

iron sides.

I watch all the reruns.

My, my, my,

but you're looking well,

Superboy.

You been copping some

rays, have you?

You m*rder*d Warren Eckworth,

and then assumed his appearance.

So I did.

So I did.

And Leo, your friend.

Leo?

My friend.

I have no friends.

Never did.

Never will.

And if you've harmed

Lana, so help me, I'll--

You'll what?

I think you've lost the use

of your brain as

well as your legs.

What did you possibly hope to

accomplish

by coming here like this,

you pathetic weakling?

You're taking all

the fun out of it!

Oh, well. I guess love

does strange things.

So it does.

But I really came here

to record your m*rder confession

on tape.

My confession?

That's rich.

That's rich.

Well, I certainly

hope you enjoyed it

because you're the only one

that's ever gonna get to hear it.

So long, Superboy!

You been

a barrel of laughs.

Oh, Lex.

I was only ki--

I don't believe this.

Lex Luthor actually got

his electrocution

date pushed up.

Andy, do you mind

just changing

the subject, okay?

It's a difficult time

for all of us, Lana.

Sure is weird all right.

I don't feel very

good at all.

Do you have

any last words?

Just my prayers.

Bless me, Father,

for I have sinned.

Lex, this is really dangerous.

What if it

doesn't work?

It's got to work!

Thanks for the memories, Warden.

I've had

a lovely time.

My compliments

to the chef.

No, no, no, wait, wait, wait!

No please!

Please don't do it yet!

Oh no please! Please!

I don't wanna die!

Oh, God, no! No, please.

Please, no! No! No! No!

Gotcha!

I didn't think it was

gonna work. Oh, Lex!

Oh, you're really hurt!

I hope I never have

to do this again!

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me.

At least not until

this wears off.

How do you

like the car?

I like everything

about today!
