03x24 - Standoff

[bunniefuu]

[theme music plays]

[Narrator] 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 the

strength of steel.

The speed of light,

and the desire to

help all mankind.

He is Superboy.

[man] Aww.

[man chuckles]

Fifteen years. You really get to

know somebody in that time.

So, when Fran came into my

office to tell me that she was

going to leave the bureau

to get herself a PhD, I had a

very natural question for her

Who the hell are you?

So, in order to answer that

question, I have made a very

thorough study

of Fran's life, and I will now

share it will all of you.

"Fran was born

[coughs]

years ago.

On a small farm in Georgia.

Her parents were poor.

Very, very poor.

How poor were they?

How poor were they?

They were so poor they couldn't

pay attention.

[man chuckles]

Pay attention.

[TV news plays]

So, at the age of 17, Fran began

to explore unexplained

phenomena's.

[TV reporter] the pair

knocked the bailiff

unconscious,

and got away from the

courthouse with his g*n

as well as the g*n

of another bailiff.

Police have blocked off a 12

block section of the

downtown area

and are searching

door to door

Another beer, pal?

Yeah, give me another one.

What about your friend here?

He'll be out in a

minute, ask him then.

OK. One beer coming up.

Who are those people over there?

They're regulars.

They work down the street.

- How late do they usually stay?

- Ten or eleven.

They're real party animals.

[man] it was so hot.

How hot was it?

- [siren wails]

- It was so hot, the door

was open.

- What's the matter?

- Nothing.

[man] She was so ugly. Forgive

me, Fran, forgive me for saying

this.

When Fran was born, she was so

ugly, the doctor slapped her

mother.

[laughing]

- Hands up!

- [screams]

[man] Hands up!

Get your hands up.

Get your hands up!

- Freeze!

- [woman continues screaming]

Shut her up!

Now, didn't you hear

what the man said?

Hands up.

You're not going

anywhere tonight.

Everybody sit down.

Shut up.

Nobody's going to get hurt.

Do you understand me?

Your the ones that got away from

the courthouse this morning.

You heard about that, did you?

Well, maybe

you can tell me

what they're trying me for.

You know you're lucky.

I've got more important

things on my mind.

You blew it.

All we had to do was sit here

and wait the cops out.

- He knew!

- He knew nothing!

You panicked.

[stammering] What are we

gonna do now?

Same as before.

We'll wait 'em out here.

With our new friends.

[knocking]

No.

You. Get behind the bar.

Continue the party.

You. Get the door.

- Evening, officer.

- Evening.

Why is the door locked?

Well, we're having

a private party.

Mind if I come in?

Well, normally

I wouldn't mind, but.

you see, the party's getting

kind of crazy now,

and they're getting ready to cut

the cake, and you know, for a

policeman to walk in

I don't care how drunk you are,

I'm just trying to find a couple

of escaped convicts.

- You gonna let me in, or not?

- Just a minute.

[sings] For she's a jolly

good fellow.

[all] For she's a

jolly good fellow.

For she's a jolly good fellow.

Which nobody can deny.

- See?

- [officer] Out of the way.

[man] Well, don't you need

some kind of warrant?

[officer] Warrant?

[man] Well, I mean, this is a

private business.

It's my understanding that law

officers can't enter any private

establishments

without some kind of appropriate

document signed by a judge.

All I want to do is just look

I don't know what else

can go wrong tonight.

[sighs]

What are we gonna do

when he comes back?

Same thing I was

gonna do last time.

Excuse me. There's

another way out of here.

Yeah?

The back door leads to some

alleys, nobody ever uses them.

It's true. These doors here.

Well, you better not be lying.

And I suppose you'll give me

your word you won't call the

cops the minute I'm gone.

We just want you out of here so

that nobody gets hurt.

Yeah, sure.

Come on.

Ow!

What's the matter?

It's frozen!

Must lead to a freezer or

something.

You knew, didn't you?

It wasn't any freezer.

You knew.

There's no need to get violent.

You want some of the same?

Sit down!

Don't try anything!

- Sit down!

- Stop it!

Stop it!

Leave him alone!

Sure I'll leave him alone.

A favor for a favor.

Right?

Are you OK?

Yeah, I just need a place

to lie down.

Um maybe I can go to the

office for a few minutes.

You go with him.

And you make sure

they can't get out.

[groans]

I'll be OK, really.

Why don't you just rest, OK?

She's right.

You might have some broken ribs.

I was a medic in the service.

- I have no pain, really.

- If you say so.

Wait!

You know, you're not

like your friend.

He's not my friend, he's

You're different from him.

- That's not what the law says.

- Please?

Just leave the phone here.

[scoffs] What, are you crazy?

You'll call the cops.

Yeah, I would, because I don't

want to see anyone get hurt.

No one's going to get hurt.

Well, if you haven't noticed,

your friend's a little

psychotic.

We'll tell the police you

cooperated.

Right. Next thing you're gonna

say is that I should trust ya.

The only way to get of here.

My lawyer said

I should trust him.

So did the judge and the DA,

they all use that word.

And I got six years for being in

the wrong place at the wrong

time.

For being stupid enough

to trust people.

[groans]

Lana, I could use a little rest,

would you mind going back

inside?

Clark, this is our chance to get

the police.

And besides, you might have

internal injuries.

I'm not going to let you out of

my sight for two seconds.

We could rush 'em.

What are you talking about?

We've got to, who knows what

they're gonna do to us.

Just sit tight, OK?

We can take 'em.

It's worth a try.

Not if somebody gets k*lled.

I can't believe you.

Maybe somebody else will have

the guts.

[sighs]

You're never gonna

break those bars.

Lana, if you would just let me

get some rest for a few minutes.

Alone.

Why do you keep wanting me to go

out there with those psychos?

You know, you might have a

concussion.

I don't want to let you

fall asleep.

[sighs] Yeah,

you're probably right.

Would you mind

loosening my shoes?

Sure.

[sniffs]

Do you smell smoke?

There's a fire

extinguisher in the bar.

OK, I'll be back in two seconds.

That's all I need.

[knocking]

I put the fire out.

What are you doing up?

I feel much better.

Well, then you can get yourself

out of here, now.

I don't think

The lady and I want to be alone.

I said get out of here.

[stammers] It's OK, Clark.

I'll be OK.

Lana, I'm not going.

I am not going to

tell you again.

You won't have to.

[criminal] Perkins! Cops!

We'll take care of this later.

[knocking]

[Officer] Come on, open up.

All right, you. Do a better job

than you did last time.

Everything's OK in here.

[Officer] Really?

Some shopkeeper down the block

told me he saw two guys come in

here

They're in here!

Clark. Clark!

You could've been k*lled pulling

a dumb stunt like that.

Well, I was an

Eagle Scout once, you know.

Go ahead.

Start sh**ting, come on!

First one going down

is going to be this kid.

Much better. Now you listen

to me.

I want a half a million dollars

in cash, and a helicopter.

You've got one hour.

You don't deliver, and I'm going

to blow his brains out.

And if you don't think I will,

just imagine how that's going

to help my insanity plea.

So, get me what I want.

Or, you're going to be real

surprised.

We should've heard by now.

Something's wrong.

They could be putting

a deal together.

Are you sure you plugged that

phone back in?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Well, time sure is

going by awfully slow.

You know that clock

hasn't moved.

Would you do something?

[clamoring]

Look, I need the money out here

within the next 15 minutes, all

right?

Just do it!

Barker, how come they haven't

got that hydrant fixed yet?

The utility guys won't come out,

Lieutenant.

Something about not wanting to

get their heads blown off.

All right, what's the

situation inside?

It's Perkins and Cooper

all right.

They've got about

10 hostages in there.

I've been negotiating with them.

Negotiating? That's not our

policy.

Lieutenant, these men are

K*llers.

All the more reason, Barker.

Just let me keep talking to

them, all right?

No!

Lieutenant, they're expecting a

call from me.

All right.

Well, maybe a call

isn't such a bad idea.

It's not too late.

I'm in too deep.

No, you're not. Not yet.

But you will be if

he tries to k*ll me.

He won't k*ll ya.

We'll get what we're asking for.

And what if you don't?

You sure he won't

pull the trigger?

You want that on your conscious?

[phone rings]

Answer it.

[ringing continues]

[Barker] We need a little more

time to put the money together.

- They need more time.

- How much time?

How much more?

Not a lot. Most of the money

is already assembled.

Not a lot.

It's got to be a clean sh*t.

[Lieutenant]

Clean as a whistle.

Get down!

[all screaming]

[stammers] I saw the light from

the lamppost.

Shining off the g*n barrel.

And now, I warned them what

would happen!

Hold it!

What?

I'm giving myself up.

I'm taking these people with me.

Well, you're just going to go

back to jail.

Better that than k*lling

somebody.

Now, let him go.

I need him.

It's all or nothing.

Get them out.

I'm not leaving you with him.

Get as many people

out as you can.

Yeah. Get out of here.

I don't need you anyway.

[chattering]

Clark

It's OK.

Go with them.

Well, looks like it's just you

and me, kid.

It looks that way.

Come on you're my

ticket out of here.

I don't think so.

You don't think so?

What the hell is that?

Some kind of joke?

The jokes on you, pal.

I've been waiting

a long time for that.

[Barker] All right guys, lock

and load, we're going in.

Police! Freeze! Nobody move!

He slipped and

knocked himself out.

What about the g*nf*re?

He's the worst aim

I've ever seen.

- Cuff him!

- Come on!

He's Superboy. I saw it all.

Well, if you say so,

I guess I must be.

He is Superboy.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Perkins, you'd say anything

to cop an insanity plea.

- Get him out of here!

- Come on!

[Perkins] You are Superboy!

I know that you are!

Oh, Clark!

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm OK.

But, would somebody untie me?
