04x11 - To Be Human: Part 1

Post by bunniefuu »

(male 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.

[music continues]

(man on radio) All the news,

all the time. It's 5:00 p.m.

Headlines at this hour.

Capitol City, last night,

Superboy foiled an attempted

bombing of City Hall

by the super t*rror1st

who calls himself Chaos.

This is the tenth such incident

in the last two weeks.

Oh, honey.

(Bizarro)

Yes, dear.

Breakfast is ready.

(man on radio) ..all engineered

to create panic and confusion.

Chaos, once again, avoided

capture by Superboy.

It's 85 degrees

at the Civic centre.

80 degrees at the airport.

Coming up next, sports

on Capitol City

all news W.W.C.V.A.

[dramatic music]

Good morning, dear.

Mmm, yum. Smell good.

Mmm. Just way me like them.

Mmm. Best coffee in whole world.

- b*rned enough for you?

- Mmm. Perfect.

No breakfast for Bizarro Lana?

Bizarro Lana not hungry.

Mmm, honey pie am sick?

No. No. Me just feel a little..

[sizzling]

What am wrong?

What am wrong?

- Ah, oh!

- What am wrong?

No worry. Me get help.

Me love you. Me always love you.

[dramatic music]

(Matt) That's the best

picture we've got of him.

- Chaos?

- Yeah. The name say's it all.

So far he's set fire

to the stock exchange

kidnapped two aldermen

and dumped hallucinogens

into the reservoir.

What does he want?

Like I said,

the name says it all.

Why did the bureau get this

guy's file? He's a t*rror1st.

Because he threatened Superboy.

And we look into everything

Superboy's involved in.

Right, Lana?

Here. See if you can find

some kind of pattern.

But you probably won't.

He's prettychaotic.

- I'll give you a hand.

- That's alright.

- No, seriously, I wanna help.

- It's no big deal, Clark.

It's not like the guy's

an alien or Bigfoot.

No, I'm just curious. Probably

for the same reason as you are.

I doubt that.

If it means

so much to you here.

- Thanks.

- Thanks.

Can you believe the air

conditioning in this place?

Around here,

I'd believe anything.

Matt wasn't kidding

when he said chaotic.

Here's a cottage that

was blown up near route 423.

Until now Chaos

has stayed in the city.

May I see that?

I don't think Chaos had

anything to do with this one.

[intense music]

[music continues]

Lana.

Lana!

- Why she die?

- I don't know.

Something in the duplication

process was unstable.

- Maybe--

- Why she die?

They make me copy

of you and me live.

They make her copy

of Lana and she die.

Me freak. Monster.

Me should be dead, like her.

No!

There's always hope.

Mewant to die.

Come with meto hope.

(Danielle)

Increase his intelligence.

Integrate him

into human society.

Well, you've set me

quite a challenge, Superboy.

This is the best research

lab in the world, Dr. Lynn.

If you can't help us..

Well, I didn't say

that I couldn't help you.

The cosmetic part

should be easy.

We've been working

with synthetic skin

that we could graft on to him.

But the mental..

No use. Me, I'm hopeless.

You let me be the judge of that.

Since he was created

from you, you're the key.

There's a device

I've been working on.

Based on brain wave transferral.

Bio rhythmic transfusions.

We haven't dared

risk it on humans.

But super humans..

There'll be side effects.

Bizarro's super powers

will be negated.

He will be, to all intent

and purposes, human.

But, you, as the donor,

we have no way of knowing

how you'll be affected.

I'll take the chance.

No. Why you do this?

Dangerous. Why you

risk life for Bizarro?

You were made from me

You're a part of me.

How can I turn my

back on my brother?

You am good friend.

You am too.

[intense music]

(Chaos)

Life is random, meaningless.

Creation is a cruel

and pointless joke.

We struggle

to superimpose, plan and purpose

on a universe that's totally

devoid of plan and purpose.

Can't you see what

a waste that is?

Can't you see how

important my mission is?

I've gotta make

you all understand

and I'll keep at it till you do.

Whenever you least

expect me, I'll be there.

I'll do whatever it takes

to get you to embrace the chaos.

And nobody, not the police,

not even Superboy

will be able to stop me.

Remember the words of William

Butler Yeats, my friends.

"Things fall apart.

The center will not hold."

[intense music]

That's it, gentlemen. Ready?

[intense music]

[music continues]

[buzzer beeping]

[explosions]

[glass shattering]

- Mmm, Pain. Me am in pain.

- It's alright.

Make pain stop.

- Superboy.

- I'm alright. What happened?

Bizarro's structure

is more unstable

than our test indicated.

His biofeedback

has overloaded the circuitry.

Anybody got any aspirin?

My head is k*lling me.

This is amazing. Words.

Words have meaning.

I read, and in here,

I have ideas.

I can't believe what

I'm thinking and feeling.

Superboy, Dr. Lynn,

how can I ever thank you

for what you've given me?

You can thank us later.

Got a lot of work ahead of us.

This is just the beginning.

You've absorbed a massive

information from

Superboy's brain.

But it's jumbled, chaotic.

It has to be ordered, digested

and understood.

And you won't

be needing me for that.

I'll always need you,

my brother.

I'll be checking in doctor.

Is everything alright with you?

Any side effects?

Just a little dizziness.

Dizziness?

Nothing to worry about.

I think it's time

to begin your education.

Then we'll get going

on those skin grafts.

[intense music]

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[music continues]

- Yes?

- It's me.

- Me who?

- Don't you recognize me?

- Brother.

- Bizarro!

This is incredible. Look at you.

How'd you find me?

In the transfer room. Along with

all the information I picked up

fragments of your memories,

your feelings, where you are

who you are, I just know.

Don't worry,

I could never betray you.

It's just that I never

share my secret with..

- Lana.

- Hi, Clark.

Clark, aren't you gonna

introduce me to your friend?

- Hi, Lana Lang.

- Bill.

- Zarro.

- Bill Zarro, that's right.

Have we met before?

- Yes.

- No.

No, absolutely not.

Well, it's a pleasure

to meet you, Bill.

And I hope to see you again.

Well, I better go. I don't

want to be late for school.

- I'll be checking in on you.

- See ya.

So where did he come from?

I thought I knew

all your friends.

Lana, what would Superboy think?

Clark, it's not like that.

In a funny way,

there's something about him

that reminds me of Superboy.

Clark. Are you alright?

I just need a little air.

[intense music]

[music intensifies]

Chaos! Chaos is all that exists.

The only reality is chaos.

[people screaming]

You, you think you

got it together?

You're falling apart.

From the moment you've

been born you begin dying.

[tires screeching]

Ah, finally you arrive.

Here's one from Chaos.

[expl*si*n]

[dramatic music]

[melancholic music]

- Danielle.

- I put it out this morning.

I thought it was time you knew.

- Who?

- My son, Allen.

He d*ed in a w*r

I didn't believe in.

- Your son, you gave me--

- I hope you don't mind.

Mind? I'm honored. I just..

What is it?

For a moment it seemed

likeit was nothing.

[dramatic music]

[tires screeching]

Interesting. A little

blast shouldn't have done

more than distract you.

My point exactly. Things

fall apart. Even Superboy.

[music intensifies]
