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