03x18 - Rebirth: Part 2

[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.

You're risking

everything.

We're in a

new country now.

Things will not be

handed to us like they

were in Saint Ephrem.

[blowing]

I checked it.

I x-rayed it.

There wasn't anyone

in that car.

I'm lookin' out my window,

and that black guy,

he must've been scared

because he jumped

in the car

And the next thing,

Superboy blows that

truck right on top of him

and the whole thing

goes up in flames.

I thought for sure

you were gonna save him.

We will take all the

Capitol City halls

and mar.

I came here

to say goodbye.

You can't leave,

we need you.

I k*lled a man.

Yeah, we know, son.

We heard about it

on the news.

I didn't ask

to be like this.

And I can't help everybody.

That's why I had to

turn off the news.

No one expects

you to do it all.

Don't they?

What if Superboy

found out

what really happened

that night?

It would probably

be better if Superboy

didn't find out.

[rooster crowing]

Well when do you think

he'll be back?

Uh-huh

OK, I'll try back later.

Thanks, Mrs. Kent.

Jackson's gonna k*ll

you when he sees the

long distance bill.

Look at what I got.

I've been checking

that witness' mail.

The one who says he saw

Superboy k*ll that guy.

After the accident,

the guy's bought a car,

a Rolex, an apartment

at Holbert Towers.

So? Someone's living his

dream life and paying cash.

The guy makes

18,000 a year.

There's something wrong.

All right, it's a

little suspicious.

Tell the cops.

Not until I get

some more answers.

I'd forgotten how good

country air smells.

[chuckles] You got

that right, son.

Sit down, have yourself

a good country breakfast

because you're

gonna need it.

We're gonna get to

sinking that new well.

Great. You got the

drill bit fixed?

No, it's still broken.

What do I need

a drill bit for

when I got you?

Well, like I

said before, Pa.

I don't mind helpin',

but it's just

plain old Clark.

OK, OK. If it's just

gonna be plain old Clark,

that's all right with me.

And that's the way

it should be.

If you did your

Pa's work for him,

he'd just be mopin'

around the house

telling me what to do,

getting in my way.

- [groans] There she goes again.

- Hm.

By the way, Lana called.

She wants to talk to you.

Oh, I'll call her later.

[machine g*n f*ring]

[men laugh]

Playing with toys

as usual.

Yes, but my toys

are getting bigger.

How are you doing,

my friend?

I was saddened

but not surprised to hear

of Winston's death.

It's a tragedy.

What do you have

Llewellyn?

And it better be worth

4,000 miles.

What I have is a plan.

We've dug in here,

taken root and grown.

But now I want

to expand and break

into the world market.

Is that why

you called me?

To offer me a supply of

M76s I can get anywhere?

What about the

white ice shells?

Binary chemical weapons

Fresh out of eastern Europe

and in transit now

to a disposal site

in the South Pacific.

Interesting.

And I suppose they're

lying around in America

everywhere these days.

No.

But they are arriving

tonight at local

m*llitary repository.

Repositories have guards.

I have an army.

They also have big doors

with their respective

big locks.

I have a key.

[Jonathan chuckles]

Oh, thanks, Ma.

Forgot what it was like

having him around.

He's turned into

quite a man.

Yes, he has.

But he doesn't

belong here, Jonathan.

What do you mean?

Can't you feel it?

The part that's been

missing is back.

I haven't been

this happy in ages.

But is he?

Takes a lot longer this way.

Nothing wrong with

a little honest work.

[chuckles]

Nothing wrong with

using your God given

gifts either.

Except when someone

dies because of them.

Son, I don't

mean to push,

but sometimes it's

not black and white.

I remember the first time

I saw you as Superboy.

I wanted to feel proud,

but all I felt was

cold, numb.

It reminded me of

the time that Jonathan

went off to the w*r.

I didn't want him to go.

Mostly because

I knew that he could

be k*lled or hurt,

but also because

he might hurt or

k*ll other people.

I didn't know I could

love a man who had

done such things.

It took time.

But then I saw that

sometimes you don't

have a choice.

Sometimes, we don't.

I have a choice.

Yes, I know.

And I'll be proud of you

no matter what choice you make.

Oh! Oh damn it!

[shouts]

Clark!

Pa!

[shouting]

- Pa!

- Clark!

Help! Clark!

Clark!

[grunts]

- Are you OK?

- [sighs]

Oh, that was too close for

comfort, I'll tell you.

Thank goodness

you were here.

[Jonathan] Thanks, son.

It's all right,

it's all right.

[reporter] Analysts say

that today's fall in the

stock market index

is indicative of the overall

state of the economy.

And in other news,

there's still no suspects

in the Capitol City

car bombing that took the lives

of three alleged g*ng members.

Police say g*ng warfare's

been on the rise in that city

since the disappearance

of Superboy.

Coming up on WKPX,

more of your

country favorites,

and Bolt Pickens

with the weather.

I'm going back.

We were just getting used

to having you here.

And I was getting

used to being back.

But for the wrong reasons.

I'm still not sure

how I fit in, but

I think this afternoon proved

that no matter where I go,

I can't hide from who I am.

Sounds to me like

you've been doing

some thinkin'.

I guess I have

the two of you

to blame for that.

We just told you

how we felt.

You did your own thinking.

Whoever sent me here

sure knew what

they were doing.

Can I give you a lift

to the bus station?

Not this time.

I'll get my things.

Have the battalionaires

report directly to me.

We go tonight at

eight o'clock.

Llewellyn,

he insisted on

seeing you, man.

It doesn't surprise me.

When you're not used to it,

money goes very quickly,

doesn't it?

Exactly.

I knew you'd understand.

I hate to seem

greedy, but

But you are.

I understand perfectly.

Look, all I want is

a few thousand more.

I mean, that's not much

for guys like you.

Don't worry.

You'll get your due tonight.

Desmond will deliver it himself.

Remember,

anything happens

my lawyer's got everything

on how I framed Superboy

for you.

All of it.

Find his home

And when you do?

k*ll him.

Then join us

at the site

- What about

- then k*ll his lawyer.

Hey, you're back.

Never thought

I'd miss this place.

Yeah, it grows on you.

Lana leave for the day?

No, she's upstairs.

Lana? Look who's here.

- Is your dad better?

- Huh?

His back?

Why you went home?

Oh, it cleared right up.

Lana!

I thought she said she was

gonna work late tonight.

- Oh no

- What's wrong?

She dug up some information

on the witness who saw

Superboy k*ll that guy.

- What was it?

- Financial stuff.

Looked like it might've

been a pay off.

She's been talking

about confronting him,

but I told her

- Where does he live?

- Holbert Towers,

I think she said.

You'd better call

the police.

Right, right. The police.

- [dialing]

- [operator] You have reached

911 emergency service line.

All lines are busy.

Please do not hang up

and your call will be

answered in the order

received

- It's busy!

- Look, I'm gonna

head over there.

- No, wait!

- Don't hang up until

you've gotten help.

Look, we'll make a deal.

I'll give you half

of everything I get

from Llewellyn.

OK, make it three quarters.

Hell, I'll give it all to you.

Listen, I was wrong.

Greedy.

Look, tell Llewellyn

I don't need any more money.

I'll keep quiet.

Boy, you'll keep

quiet, all right.

What's that?

Is that a b*mb?!

Think of it as a way

to unburden your soul.

[clatters]

- Hi!

- Who are you?

I I'm the decorator.

Mr. Mayall asked me to

come in and take a look

at his closets.

Um, see, people usually

neglect their closets

Again, did Superboy

k*ll Winston?

- The b*mb first.

- No, man.

Truth first,

then perhaps the b*mb.

How did Winston die?

OK OK!

When everything started

coming down that night

the older guy, Winston,

he tried to get away.

Llewellyn was waitin' for him.

The truck had already

crashed and was burnin'.

Llewellyn hit Winston

with a brick or somethin',

chucked him into the car

and let him fry.

Superboy didn't know squat

what was happening.

[beeping]

Look, I told you

it was your boss

Hey where

are you going?

I'm leaving, of course.

What about the b*mb?

Oh you can keep it.

[whimpers]

Am I glad to see you!

Did you hear any

of that, Superboy?

You didn't k*ll anyone.

Hurry, wait out there.

It's a b*mb.

Looks that way.

Aren't you

gonna take it?

Did Llewellyn

really k*ll Winston?

Yes!

[coughs]

That scum Llewellyn

was double crossing me.

But I got a little info that

just might even the score.

- What is it?

- Tonight, eight o'clock.

They're hittin' the

weapons depository

in Bay Hill.

Keep an eye on him.

I'll send for the police.

Hey, aren't you

gonna untie me?

Well, I guess it's just

you and me now, huh?

All this happened

because of you.

That's true.

And if you untie me,

I'll make a couple of things

happen between

you and me, too.

OK, let's go. Move.

Fire!

Ah, Superboy.

Well done.

How many of my men

did you k*ll this time?

That won't work anymore.

But it still doesn't change

the weakness you showed me.

Because you are weak.

Your justice is weak.

When I get out,

and I will get out,

I'll take advantage

of your humanity.

Llewellyn.

For Winston.

[g*n sh*t]

Apparently, they were

from Saint Ephrem

and they were

running arms.

I'm back.

And I'm going to stay.
