03x13 - Neila and the Beast

[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

the strength of steel,

the speed of light

and the desire to

help all mankind.

He is Superboy.

Remember me?

You did this?

I thought you were going

back to your own planet.

There was a revolution.

All the aristocrats

were k*lled,

slaughtered by farmers

and shopkeepers.

I'm the only one left.

- I'm not going to fight

- I wouldn't ask you to.

I need you to

help me stay alive.

Will you?

They won't be happy

until I'm dead, too.

They sent a creature after me.

That's why I made this,

to contact you.

[sighs] Well, it's better

than tearing up the street.

Much.

But if I could find you

so easily so could that.

[growling]

[roars]

Ready?

[grunts]

He's ice cold,

but we didn't hit him

hard enough to

What are you doing?

Leaving.

But you can't go home.

And I can't stay

with you either.

We've been through that before.

If you were going to hurt me,

you would have done it already.

- I don't want to hurt you.

- Not this time.

- We're no longer rivals.

- We never were.

You're right.

We never were.

But we do have other

things in common,

like character,

strength, courage.

You were willing to sacrifice

yourself last time I was here.

I admire that.

That's why I came to you.

We don't have anything

in common.

Wait.

I'm alone.

All alone.

I need someone I can trust.

What about your own planet,

the other aristocrats?

I can't go back.

- You have to help me.

- "Have to"?

Please.

[man] It's almost too easy.

All I had to do was look into

her transporter's frequency.

We always knew finding

her wouldn't be the problem.

Yes, unfortunately

k*lling her will be.

This sure wasn't in

my job description.

Clark, is this why you

signed up with the bureau?

Well, there were a few things I

wanted to get to the bottom of.

Once we decontaminate this

thing, we oughta lay it

right on Jackson's desk.

He'd still think it was a hoax.

You've been at that window

all day, haven't you?

They're all gone.

Everybody I ever knew.

m*rder*d by animals.

If they acted that way, maybe

that's how they were treated.

Maybe they were.

This is a new place,

a new world,

filled with new people.

- They're all commoners.

- So? I'm one.

And you said you

admired my courage.

They'll be others.

[chuckles]

Come on, you're

coming with me.

[rock music playing]

They're all so happy.

Why shouldn't they be?

[scoffs] Why? Because they're

lives are petty and meaningless.

They may not be as

strong as you, but they

have the same emotion.

Can I buy you ladies a drink?

[scoffs] I'm not thirsty.

You're not making this

easy, you know.

Why should it be easy?

She'd love a drink,

and I'll just have a soda.

Be right back.

It wouldn't hurt to be

a little more friendly.

It wouldn't help either.

[sighs] Don't be so sure,

I think he likes you.

But he's a commoner.

- Give him a chance.

- Why?

Well, maybe because

I gave you one.

[sighs]

[man] Well, there is one good

thing about being a plumber,

there's always plenty of work.

So what do you do?

[Lana] I'm working on

an internship with a

government agency.

And you?

An executive maybe?

I don't work.

Rich?

She's looking for work.

She's new here.

New? Where you from?

Uh

A lot of places.

I know what you mean, I've

traveled around a lot myself.

It's tough

settling in to a new place.

- You miss your friends.

- You do.

There's a way you

can fix that, though.

There is?

You can make

new friends.

Interested?

Um, yeah, why don't

you call us?

I'll do that.

All right, go ahead.

k*ll me.

[clears throat]

Harmless to the touch,

but when you focus it,

that's a different story.

Think you're going to have any

trouble getting her here?

None whatsoever.

So what do you think?

Definitely anthropoidal.

Some kind of mutant?

Maybe, but not terrestrial.

What's the chance of

this being a hoax?

No hoax.

[chuckles]

- Clark.

- Hi, Lana.

It's safe to come in, he's

already been decontaminated.

No thanks.

Are you going to be done

with this in time for dinner?

Assuming you still wanna eat?

Yeah, but are you sure

it's such a good idea?

Clark, she's got

nowhere else to go,

and this guy we met

seems really nice.

I just want her to feel

like she has a home here.

[Clark] I'm just

worried about you.

[Lana] I'll be fine.

She's different now,

all she wants to do is fit in.

[growls]

Here's the address

and don't be late, OK?

Am I ever?

[growls]

I talked to him on the phone

for two hours today.

Two hours?

Ooh, you're giving a lot of your

time to a plumber, aren't you?

He doesn't always have

to be a laborer.

What if he wants to be?

Why would he want to do that?

Maybe he likes it.

Well, how could he?

The whole idea of this

country is to let people

be who they wanna be.

Nobody's born any better

than anyone else.

We had a revolution over that.

So did we.

- I'm sorry.

- It's all right.

You just put it into

perspective, that's all.

You have to accept people

for what they are.

Especially if you want

them to care about you.

Working kinda late,

aren't you?

I guess I just kinda

lost track of time.

There's just something

about this thing.

The aroma perhaps?

Clark, there's something

[growling]

[grunts]

Clark! What are you, crazy?

Um, I'm gonna go get some help.

[air rushing]

- Hi.

- Hi.

Hello. [chuckles]

Clark should be

along any second.

I gave him the address.

- Clark?

- My friend, remember?

[sniffing]

[air rushing]

[grunts]

[growling]

Oh.

They're going to k*ll her.

Who?

The ones from her planet.

You were trying to help her?

I love her.

I'm sure Clark will

be here any minute.

Of course, he may

not show up at all.

That would be a tragedy.

You know, I

should just leave.

I hope you guys won't

be too disappointed.

I'll show you to the door.

I guess you won't be.

By the way, if Clark

shows up, will you tell

him to meet me at the club?

Will do.

Thank you.

Could you pour me some

more wine, please?

Not so superior anymore,

are you?

You're one of them?

Yes.

One of them.

Slaves to your kind.

Dirt under your feet.

But I found your weakness,

didn't I?

[inhales] Finish it.

If it makes up for

what we did to you

do it.

[growling]

[growling]

- It saved me.

- He loved you.

It d*ed for me?

The creature was dead all

along, I gave it life.

What are you?

This this is all I am.

I was exploring your planet

when I first saw you.

I chose this body because

of its strength.

That is what you worship,

isn't it? Strength? Brutality?

I used to.

But no longer.

- Where are you going?

- It doesn't matter now.

No.
