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.

[children shouting]

So help me, if you two

don't cut it out,

I'm gonna come back there and

Burt. This is a vacation.

Vacations are fun.

I am sorry, honey. Sometimes

Daddy has a bad day.

[car horn honking]

[screaming]

[squeals]

Superboy.

I thought we were going to.. .

How can I ever thank you?

Got any cash?

No cash, huh?

Well, nice car.

Engine's good.

Consider the debt paid in full.

[Superboy laughs]

Does Superboy have

bad days too, Dad?

[man] Lana.

[screams]

Don't scream. Don't scream.

I just want your help.

I'm not Luthor.

I'm Superboy.

You're out of your mind.

No it's my body I'm out of.

Just give me two minutes, then

you can walk away.

Lana, you've gotta trust me.

Trust?

That's ironic coming from you.

I need you to listen to me.

But I'm not gonna force you.

Two minutes, then I scream.

Fair enough.

There was this experiment.

I wanted to find out where I

came from.

A doctor, Dr. Deland. He used

to work with Professor Peterson.

He said that he could help me.

We were in his lab.

Every memory makes a molecular

imprint,

If I can scan them with

electron beams,

we might be able to get

all the way down

to your earliest memories.

Maybe find out where

you came from.

and why I'm here.

Ready?

Now, close your eyes, and start

counting backwards.

From a hundred.

[breathing]

Dr. Deland?

[laughter]

You are indeed a genius.

I'm not in this for

an ego massage.

We agreed to a sum of

money.

Not until I get your notes on

and the plans for this thing.

How can I be sure I'll

get my money.

Take my word for it.

Getting money's never gonna be

a problem for me again.

[laughter]

Perhaps it's time our

chrome-dome friend

finally made his date

with the electric chair.

They tricked me

using my past as bait.

And I swallowed the hook.

Are you done?

Is this the part where you let

me just walk away?

Lana, all I need you to do

is go and see if Deland

is still there.

I can't go myself.

If the police catch me

You'll get what you deserve.

No, you've got to believe

[man] Hey.

What are you doing?

He's hurting me.

No. No problem, sir.

Are you all right, ma'am?

Yeah. That's Lex Luthor. He's

wanted

You sure you're OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Did Luthor have a g*n or

anything?

Unh uh.

Did he try to take you

away with him?

No.

Doesn't sound like Luthor.

I know, but

Who else could it have been?

I'm gonna go tell Jackson about

this.

You sure you're OK?

Had to have been him.

Lana.

You seen Clark. I got some print

outs for him.

I'll take 'em.

Sent me a note. He's not

feeling very well.

Whoa.

Who's that?

It's nobody.

Pretty impressive credentials

for a nobody.

PHD in physics and

bio-engineering.

Tenured position at Shuster.

"was forced to resign for

unstated reasons.

Does this have something to do

with Luthor?

I don't, I don't think so.

Good. Leave Luthor to Superboy.

Lex, Lex

Lex come on this isn't funny.

Put me down.

What's my name?

All right. It's Superboy.

Superboy. I like the sound of

that.

So, what are you gonna do now? I

mean

take over the world or

something.

[shrieks]

Maybe.

I don't want anyone to start

believing Luthor

when he says

he's in the wrong body.

So why don't you just get rid of

him?

Just like that?

Not a chance.

I want him to feel what it's

like to be me.

Humiliated, persecuted.

Despised.

Then I'm gonna see to it that he

gets exactly what's coming to

me.

[laughter]

Oh Lex. I mean why wait for

that?

Do it now. You know?

Business before pleasure.

You may have a point there.

So um, you're gonna do it now?

I just said I was.

And Superboy never lies.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to

frighten you.

That's all right. I've been

hoping to see you.

Me too.

I saw Lex, this morning.

Luthor. Did he hurt you, or

No, no.

He didn't hurt me. He only

wanted to talk to me.

Talk to you. About what?

Nothing.

Lana, whatever he says, you

shouldn't listen to him.

You have to trust me.

Will you do that?

Trust.

Like always.

Because there's something more

important I want to talk to you

about.

Our relationship.

I've been thinking, maybe it's

time that we should deepen it.

Bring it to another level of

meaning.

Um

What's wrong?

I'm just not used to you

acting this way.

We all have our week moments.

Here's where I'm staying.

For when you have one of your

weak moments.

It's important that you trust

me, Lana.

You're the one who's always

known me best.

Trust me?

[wheezing]

Freeze.

[g*nshots fired]

[glass shattering]

Doesn't this guy ever exercise.

Hello, Luthor.

[laughter]

I'm not, Luthor.

You know this is all a terrible

mistake.

Yeah, you're the one who made it

when you took on Superboy.

Why doesn't somebody talk to

Dr. Deland. He can tell them

Deland is dead. d*ed

on the way to the hospital.

What are you doing?

Letting you out

so they can take you to the

State Prison.

What for?

'Cause that's where

the electric chair is.

This is all a mistake.

Lex, get in.

Lana.

Get in.

You shouldn't be doing this.

Are you crazy? I'm helping you.

But you're breaking the law.

[Lana] Now I know you're

Superboy.

What made you finally believe

me?

I knew you'd never

come on to me like that.

Like what?

Here it is.

I think he put 'em in here.

Here's his notes.

And the blueprints for the

machine. We can rebuild it.

What's wrong?

Think about it.

About what?

About everything we have to do.

Going up against somebody

with my

with his powers.

Listen to me.

You think the only thing that

makes you a hero is your powers?

You said so yourself.

When you could have run and

maybe escaped,

you stayed and

tried to help Deland.

That's what being a hero

really means.

It's not what you are,

it's who you are.

- Lana, there's no way

- Yes, there is.

You're in Luthor's body.

All you have to do is stop

thinking like him.

Convicted k*ller Lex Luthor

escaped from jail late today

while being transferred from a

maximum security prison

where he faced execution.

Police say that they are

following up leads,

but admit to having no real

evidence

as to his whereabouts.

Lex.

[laughing]

It's better than remote control.

So, what now?

What do you mean, what now?

It's even better this way.

Let him taste freedom

one more time.

That way when he's in the chair,

it'll hurt even more.

[knocking]

Be a good little girl and go

wait in the other room.

Why?

Who is it?

It's business.

Lana. What a surprise.

I decided you were right.

It is time to take our

relationship to a deeper level.

I'm glad. Won't you come in?

Hello, Luthor.

Oh, I get it. A trap.

And how you gonna take me in?

Cuffs?

That doesn't matter.

You k*lled Dr. Deland for no

reason.

No reason? I'm insulted.

I'm truly insulted.

Deland was the only one who knew

about our little switcheroo.

And he was the only one who

could switch us back.

And so you k*lled him.

Of course I k*lled him.

But I had a reason.

And now you'll pay.

And what pray tell could that

be, but the dreaded Kryptonite?

You got it.

Ah!

You have to wake up pretty early

in the morning to b*at Superboy.

Get him.

I'm trying to think of which one

of my super powers to use.

That's it.

It's his favorite.

This is great.

[screams]

You mustn't do this.

With his demented mind and my

powers

he'll turn the world into

a

he's got to be stopped.

Frankly, I don't see the

problem.

I mean it's pretty obvious who's

who here, Luthor.

He's Luthor.

Sure he is.

Do you want to do the honors?

Sir?

Pull the switch.

I, I, I couldn't.

It's only fitting.

The governor will be here any

minute.

He could still change his mind.

You'd be doing the world a

service.

Well, if you put it that way.

You have to listen to this.

Deland was the only one who

knew about our only switcheroo.

And so you k*lled him.

Of course I k*lled him.

[door slams]

Let's do it.

Did it work?

No.

No.

No.

No, no, no, no!

[screaming] No!

We did it.

All you've proven is that brains

are better than brawn.

Which means I can b*at you.

You better hurry.

Once that chair is rewired,

you're gonna be it's first

guest.

You'd better watch your back

my friend.

I'm not dead yet.

[laughter]
