1. Feel anything?
Copy !req
2. Nothing. I feel fine.
Copy !req
3. Now, this metal's
too hard to be lead.
Copy !req
4. - Titanium-lead alloy?
- Exactly.
Copy !req
5. And the helmet
is leaded polycarbonate.
Copy !req
6. Materials that will not only
withstand Kryptonite,
Copy !req
7. but, well, let's say,
I took into account
Copy !req
8. the type of day you're likely
to put the suit through.
Copy !req
9. Why, professor, you make it
sound like I go out looking for trouble.
Copy !req
10. Hey, Rudy, today or what?
Copy !req
11. You screw this up,
you can forget about me
Copy !req
12. paying off that bookie of yours.
Copy !req
13. I-I know, Mr. LeBeau.
Copy !req
14. Jeez! I thought you knew
how to work that thing.
Copy !req
15. Uh, sorry.
Copy !req
16. You there, hold it!
Copy !req
17. Oh, it's you, Rudy.
Hey, what's up?
Copy !req
18. You get cleared for machinery?
Copy !req
19. Yeah,
I'm a-a forklift operator now.
Copy !req
20. And who's your friend, huh?
Copy !req
21. Doing some early
Christmas shopping, mister?
Copy !req
22. He, um—
Copy !req
23. That's alright, Rudy.
Maybe I can clear all this up.
Copy !req
24. No, don't!
Copy !req
25. You're gonna get us
put away for good!
Copy !req
26. Speak for yourself.
I'm not getting caught.
Copy !req
27. Emergency. Fire. Loading bay two.
Copy !req
28. Hey!
Copy !req
29. Whoa! Hold it! Hey!
Copy !req
30. Hey! Stop!
Copy !req
31. - Help!
- Help!
Copy !req
32. - Help! Somebody get help!
- We're down here!
Copy !req
33. Mr. LeBeau, please stop!
Copy !req
34. Messed me up for the last time,
you stupid little parasite.
Copy !req
35. Hey! Slow down!
Copy !req
36. Mr. LeBeau, stop the truck!
Copy !req
37. Please! Stop! Please!
Copy !req
38. Martin, help me...
Copy !req
39. Adios, freak.
Copy !req
40. I just can't believe it!
Wimpy Rudy Jones?
Copy !req
41. And there's no telling
what was in those drums.
Copy !req
42. He ain't kidding.
Copy !req
43. Half the stuff the prof
whips up in there
Copy !req
44. folks would kill
to get their hands on.
Copy !req
45. This is 4-2 heading north
on Old Ocean Road.
Copy !req
46. Hey, Gina, is that you?
Copy !req
47. Edna, you on
the graveyard shift tonight?
Copy !req
48. I was just...
Copy !req
49. You trying to get killed?
Copy !req
50. Hey, I'm talking to you.
Copy !req
51. What's that in your hand?
Drop it!
Copy !req
52. 4-2, please respond.
Copy !req
53. Where did you go?
Gina, you okay?
Copy !req
54. All units,
request assistance on Old Ocean Road.
Copy !req
55. Uh, this is 4-2.
Negative on the assistance. I'm fine, Edna.
Copy !req
56. 10-4, you gave me a scare there.
Copy !req
57. All units,
disregard call for assistance.
Copy !req
58. Edna? Where the heck
did I get Edna?
Copy !req
59. She must've been delirious
when our boys found her.
Copy !req
60. Said something about being
attacked by a purple monster.
Copy !req
61. Was its name Barney?
Copy !req
62. You're here to make ha-ha,
kid, or take pictures?
Copy !req
63. Uh, guess that's a no.
Copy !req
64. I wouldn't touch that
if I were you.
Copy !req
65. Right, thanks.
Copy !req
66. Any luck ID'ing Rudy Jones' partner
from S.T.A.R. security cameras?
Copy !req
67. Yeah, name's Martin LeBeau.
He's a known fence.
Copy !req
68. Last we knew, he was living down
by the docks in Hob's Bay.
Copy !req
69. Don't you recognize me, Marty?
Copy !req
70. It's your old doormat
Rudy Jones.
Copy !req
71. Rudy, uh, y-you ought to be
in a hospital.
Copy !req
72. Y-Y-You need help.
Copy !req
73. Help?
Copy !req
74. I never felt better in my life!
Copy !req
75. Ow! Hey!
Copy !req
76. It's fantastic, Marty.
Copy !req
77. I should be thanking you.
Copy !req
78. When I touch somebody,
I get strong.
Copy !req
79. I absorb their energy.
Copy !req
80. But more than that,
I hear their thoughts.
Copy !req
81. I know what they know.
Copy !req
82. Really, words don't describe it.
Copy !req
83. Here, let me show you.
Copy !req
84. Rudy? Rudy Jones?
Copy !req
85. Put that man down.
Copy !req
86. Sure.
Copy !req
87. What's happened to you?
Copy !req
88. I don't know, Superman.
Copy !req
89. It's as if I've turned
into some kind of monster.
Copy !req
90. Can you help me?
Copy !req
91. Let me take you
back to S.T.A.R.
Copy !req
92. Maybe Professor Hamilton
can treat you.
Copy !req
93. Okay, Superman.
Just don't hurt me.
Copy !req
94. I won't. Hang on.
Copy !req
95. Oh, you can count on it!
Copy !req
96. Man, what a rush!
Copy !req
97. So that's what
real power feels like.
Copy !req
98. - Good heavens!
- What is that?
Copy !req
99. What's he done to Superman?
Copy !req
100. Ah, looks like you still got
some juice left in you.
Copy !req
101. You all see that?
Copy !req
102. That's the new me.
Copy !req
103. That's what Rudy Jones can do.
Copy !req
104. Now, tell your friends
there's a new Superman in town.
Copy !req
105. Since this morning,
Copy !req
106. the thing
that was once Rudy Jones
Copy !req
107. has been sighted
throughout the city
Copy !req
108. taking what he pleases
Copy !req
109. and driving citizens
into their homes in fear.
Copy !req
110. I spoke personally with Professor
Emile Hamilton of S.T.A.R. Labs,
Copy !req
111. to find out how a simple janitor
Copy !req
112. could clean out Metropolis.
Copy !req
113. The, the chemical
Mr. Jones stole
Copy !req
114. was developed to catalyze energy
absorption in human cells.
Copy !req
115. But clearly, he was exposed
to far greater quantities
Copy !req
116. than we'd ever tested
on living subjects.
Copy !req
117. - Professor...
- Wait, wait.
Copy !req
118. And now that this parasite
Copy !req
119. has sucked up
all of Superman's powers
Copy !req
120. how much longer
until he sucks our city dry?
Copy !req
121. Wow! That sounds pretty bad!
Copy !req
122. Uh, just fighting
a bit of a cold.
Copy !req
123. No, I-I mean,
this parasite thing.
Copy !req
124. I wonder where Superman is.
Copy !req
125. I'm sure he'd be here
if he could.
Copy !req
126. Clark Kent.
Copy !req
127. That's right.
Copy !req
128. Thanks. We'll be right over.
Copy !req
129. Let's take a ride. There may be
some good news after all.
Copy !req
130. Ah! Like candy from a baby.
Copy !req
131. Huh? What gives?
Copy !req
132. Then about an hour ago
I just started feeling better.
Copy !req
133. My doctor says
I can go home tomorrow.
Copy !req
134. Well, then The Parasite's drain
is temporary.
Copy !req
135. Hey, well, you figure Superman's
out there feeling better, too?
Copy !req
136. Jimmy, I wouldn't be surprised.
Copy !req
137. Given the
officer's recovery, Perry,
Copy !req
138. I, I bet we'll be seeing
Superman anytime now.
Copy !req
139. Me? Yeah,
my cold's doing better.
Copy !req
140. In fact, I thought
I'd change and go out tonight.
Copy !req
141. Right. So long.
Copy !req
142. Good to see you again, Superman.
Copy !req
143. Or should I say Clark?
Copy !req
144. That's right, Kent.
Copy !req
145. I got your powers,
I got your thoughts
Copy !req
146. and I got your secret.
Copy !req
147. - Comfy?
- Where are we?
Copy !req
148. Why don't you use
your x-ray vision?
Copy !req
149. I can't.
Copy !req
150. Aw, shucks!
Copy !req
151. Well, all you need to know is
it ain't your apartment.
Copy !req
152. It's mine now.
Copy !req
153. Fits my new ritzy lifestyle.
Copy !req
154. When I don't go to work,
people will come looking for me.
Copy !req
155. Hi, Perry.
Copy !req
156. That cold of mine is acting up again.
Copy !req
157. I think I'm going to be out sick
for a while.
Copy !req
158. You see, Supes,
you're my new meal plan.
Copy !req
159. Figure I'll keep you here
Copy !req
160. pop back every 12 hours or so
for a recharge.
Copy !req
161. In fact, it's feeding time
right about now.
Copy !req
162. It's been a week, people.
Copy !req
163. This is a newspaper.
We need facts.
Copy !req
164. Where does Parasite
disappear to?
Copy !req
165. Is Superman alive or dead?
Copy !req
166. And where the heck is Kent?
Is he still out sick?
Copy !req
167. I was just noticing.
Copy !req
168. Parasite always flies south,
along the coast.
Copy !req
169. That's right towards S.T.A.R.,
where he used to work.
Copy !req
170. The police thought of that
the first day.
Copy !req
171. Besides, kid, it's not like
the guy's going back to work.
Copy !req
172. But maybe the cops
haven't checked out S.T.A.R. lately.
Copy !req
173. Somebody should go down there.
Copy !req
174. And somebody should be getting
his photos to layout
Copy !req
175. before he misses
the evening edition.
Copy !req
176. - But, chief—
- Okay, where were we?
Copy !req
177. Troupe, what's your excuse?
Weaver, justify your existence.
Copy !req
178. Lois...
Copy !req
179. So much has been
written on what Parasite is doing.
Copy !req
180. I-I thought if I looked
around his space at work,
Copy !req
181. maybe I could learn
about Rudy Jones, the man.
Copy !req
182. It's just that you seem
kinda young for a reporter...
Copy !req
183. uh, Mr. White.
Copy !req
184. Yeah, I know
my age surprises people.
Copy !req
185. I did start out pretty young.
Copy !req
186. - Paper route at seven...
- Jimmy.
Copy !req
187. Well, I guess you can't do
any harm in here.
Copy !req
188. I'll be right outside
if you need me.
Copy !req
189. Alright! I-I mean, great.
Thanks.
Copy !req
190. Oh, yeah, great.
Stop the presses.
Copy !req
191. Olsen gets exclusive
on empty broom closet.
Copy !req
192. S-O-S.
Copy !req
193. No way!
Copy !req
194. Superman!
Copy !req
195. Jimmy, quick!
Copy !req
196. - Where are we?
- Y-You don't know?
Copy !req
197. You're in S.T.A.R. Labs!
The cellar or something.
Copy !req
198. Go up and get help.
Copy !req
199. You can't stay here.
He'll be back any minute.
Copy !req
200. I can get you out of here.
Copy !req
201. He's back! Quick, hide!
Copy !req
202. Good evening, dinner.
Copy !req
203. Enjoy your night out?
Copy !req
204. You better believe it.
Copy !req
205. My whole life, everybody's
been steppin' on me.
Copy !req
206. Now I'm the one
with all the power.
Copy !req
207. And what have you done
with all this power, Rudy?
Copy !req
208. Gave the world
the raw deal they gave you?
Copy !req
209. Feel like
you've gotten even yet?
Copy !req
210. What's with the chatter
all of a sudden?
Copy !req
211. You're up to something.
Copy !req
212. Somebody's here.
Copy !req
213. Cute, kid.
Copy !req
214. Hey, Rudy!
Copy !req
215. - What?
- Clear outta here, now!
Copy !req
216. Playin' hide and seek now?
Copy !req
217. Come on, Kent.
This is beneath you.
Copy !req
218. You're wasting your time!
I'm still stronger!
Copy !req
219. Maybe, but for how long?
Copy !req
220. You've got a point.
Guess I ought to end this quick.
Copy !req
221. Time to say goodnight!
Copy !req
222. We'll keep him here
Copy !req
223. until a special cell
is completed at Stryker's.
Copy !req
224. He's been like this ever since
his fight with Superman.
Copy !req
225. I doubt he knows his own name
let alone any of what's transpired.
Copy !req
226. Ah, we're disturbing him.
We should go.
Copy !req
227. Yeah, doesn't look like he'll be
giving interviews anytime soon.
Copy !req
