1. Ready for your dinner,
Mr. Corben?
Copy !req
2. Bring it in, Ralph.
Copy !req
3. Mmm. Perfect.
Copy !req
4. Yes?
Copy !req
5. Uh, Mr. Corben.
I hope you don't mind me asking,
Copy !req
6. but after all these months,
I just gotta know.
Copy !req
7. How do you rate all this?
Copy !req
8. Ralph, the trick
is to never underestimate
Copy !req
9. the value of a good friend.
Copy !req
10. And always keep your mouth shut.
Copy !req
11. You having those pains again?
Copy !req
12. It'll pass. Always does.
Copy !req
13. You can go.
Copy !req
14. Maybe it's all that rich food.
Copy !req
15. Mr. Corben!
Copy !req
16. You're out of your mind,
I'm too young.
Copy !req
17. I-I-I exercise,
I-I take supplements, I—
Copy !req
18. It's a virus, Mr. Corben.
None of that matters.
Copy !req
19. But there's got
to be some medicine.
Copy !req
20. It's a very rare disease,
we don't...
Copy !req
21. There might
be an alternative treatment.
Copy !req
22. What kind of treatment?
Copy !req
23. For now, you'll just
have to trust me
Copy !req
24. and a certain good friend.
Copy !req
25. Wait a minute, you know my fr—
Copy !req
26. Relax, Mr. Corben.
And conserve your strength.
Copy !req
27. You'll be needing it.
Copy !req
28. On your right.
Copy !req
29. Slowpoke.
Copy !req
30. What's going on?
Copy !req
31. - Did you know about this?
- No, but who cares?
Copy !req
32. Let's get off this rock.
Copy !req
33. Some kind of parole, huh?
Copy !req
34. I can't steer.
Copy !req
35. They're all yours.
Copy !req
36. Mind if I borrow something?
Copy !req
37. Don't quit.
We're almost there.
Copy !req
38. We did it, doc.
Copy !req
39. Mmm. The smell of freedom.
Copy !req
40. Never thought I'd see the day.
Copy !req
41. Come on, we have to hurry.
Copy !req
42. No one's been
more loyal to me than you, John.
Copy !req
43. You could have implicated me in
the Lexo suit affair but you didn't.
Copy !req
44. And for that,
I'm going to reward you.
Copy !req
45. This sure doesn't feel like
a reward, Luthor.
Copy !req
46. It's the only way
to save your life.
Copy !req
47. You have to do it.
Copy !req
48. Don't worry, you'll look
exactly as you do now.
Copy !req
49. But I'll be metal on the inside.
Copy !req
50. Better than metal. Metallo.
Copy !req
51. A virtually
indestructible alloy.
Copy !req
52. - That the kryptonite?
- The source of your power.
Copy !req
53. And Superman's destruction.
You want that, don't you?
Copy !req
54. After what he did to you?
Copy !req
55. What do I have to lose?
Copy !req
56. Indeed.
Copy !req
57. And thanks to Superman,
Copy !req
58. all but one of the inmates
were back in their cells
Copy !req
59. within an hour of the attack.
Copy !req
60. As yet unaccounted for
is John Corben,
Copy !req
61. a mercenary, who police
describe as extremely dangerous.
Copy !req
62. Several months ago,
Copy !req
63. Corben stole a high-tech
Lexo suit and battled Superman
Copy !req
64. to a virtual standstill.
Copy !req
65. Police are
investigating connections
Copy !req
66. between the missile attack
and Corben's escape...
Copy !req
67. What I'd like to know
is who has access
Copy !req
68. to air-to-surface missiles?
Copy !req
69. These days, just about anyone.
Copy !req
70. Well, one way or another,
Corben won't be free for long.
Copy !req
71. - How's that?
- Corben's medical records.
Copy !req
72. I have a friend at Stryker's.
Copy !req
73. - Orozco's retrovirus?
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
74. One hundred percent fatal.
Copy !req
75. But the only place
it's native to
Copy !req
76. is some little island
off South America.
Copy !req
77. Kent, Corben was a mercenary
Copy !req
78. and a fugitive
from at least five countries.
Copy !req
79. That's a recipe
for a frequent flyer
Copy !req
80. if I ever heard one.
Copy !req
81. Well, how do you feel?
Copy !req
82. Great, better than
I have in weeks.
Copy !req
83. Shall we test out that theory?
Copy !req
84. Hit that, please.
Copy !req
85. Impressive.
Copy !req
86. Wasn't even trying.
Copy !req
87. Satisfied?
Copy !req
88. Now, if you'll
please stand still.
Copy !req
89. Hey, wait a minute!
Copy !req
90. Your skin is also
made from metallo.
Copy !req
91. But I... I can't feel anything.
Copy !req
92. It's like I'm controlling my
hands from outside my body.
Copy !req
93. Well, some adjustments
need to be made, that's all.
Copy !req
94. But first, you have a job to do.
Copy !req
95. Superman?
Copy !req
96. Yes.
Copy !req
97. I have a luncheon to attend,
Copy !req
98. but I expect to hear
the tragic news about him
Copy !req
99. just before dessert.
Copy !req
100. Dessert?
Copy !req
101. I haven't had anything to eat
or drink since the operation.
Copy !req
102. I haven't wanted anything.
Copy !req
103. The only hunger you should have
is for power, my friend.
Copy !req
104. The only thirst, for revenge.
Copy !req
105. Roses. Roses.
Copy !req
106. Would you like a rose?
Copy !req
107. No, thanks.
Copy !req
108. They smell wonderful, see?
Copy !req
109. I don't smell anything.
Copy !req
110. But they're very fragrant.
Copy !req
111. Get away.
Copy !req
112. - He's on the tracks.
- Get off of there, you jerk.
Copy !req
113. Last stop, everyone.
Copy !req
114. Last stop!
Copy !req
115. Whoever he is, he appears to
have strength like Superman's.
Copy !req
116. And bullets
have no effect on him.
Copy !req
117. Do we have another alien
in our midst?
Copy !req
118. The attack began minutes ago
Copy !req
119. when the man
single-handedly derailed
Copy !req
120. an eastbound I train.
Copy !req
121. Police are still trying
to identify him.
Copy !req
122. Corben?
Copy !req
123. How did you do it, Corben?
Copy !req
124. A drug? Some kind of operation?
Copy !req
125. Elective surgery.
Copy !req
126. - Jealous?
- Not likely.
Copy !req
127. You're going back to prison.
Copy !req
128. I'm as strong as you are now.
Copy !req
129. Almost.
Copy !req
130. No. Stronger.
Copy !req
131. What's the matter, guy?
Copy !req
132. You're looking
a little green at the gills.
Copy !req
133. I think you are jealous of me
Copy !req
134. because now
I'm the real man of steel.
Copy !req
135. That was rather desperate.
Copy !req
136. You humiliated me, Superman.
Copy !req
137. Took me in by the scruff
of my neck like I was a kid.
Copy !req
138. Now, it's payback time.
Copy !req
139. Get in, hurry.
Copy !req
140. He's not going anywhere,
Ms. Lane.
Copy !req
141. Corben.
Copy !req
142. You remember me. Good.
Copy !req
143. I've been thinking
about you a lot.
Copy !req
144. Especially these
last few months in prison.
Copy !req
145. Corben, if you so much as...
Copy !req
146. Oh, I...
Copy !req
147. I-I-I didn't feel anything.
Copy !req
148. See if you feel this.
Copy !req
149. Ow!
Copy !req
150. I... I can't even feel a kiss.
Copy !req
151. What did they do to me?
Copy !req
152. Are you alright?
Copy !req
153. Getting there.
Sorry about your car.
Copy !req
154. Yeah, the insurance company
will love this.
Copy !req
155. - At least you got him.
- For now.
Copy !req
156. I want those adjustments now!
Copy !req
157. Wh-what adjustments?
Copy !req
158. The ones Luthor told me about
Copy !req
159. when I said I couldn't
feel my hands.
Copy !req
160. Those adjustments.
Copy !req
161. Well, the adjustments
were yours to make.
Copy !req
162. Mine?
Copy !req
163. You're telling me...
Copy !req
164. There'll always
be a certain numbness.
Copy !req
165. A lack of feeling,
but you'll get used to it.
Copy !req
166. I don't want to get used to it.
Copy !req
167. Mr. Corben, the operation gave
you almost infinite strength.
Copy !req
168. You can never get sick.
You're invulnerable to injury.
Copy !req
169. You'll never feel pain again.
Copy !req
170. And what about pleasure? Hmm?
Copy !req
171. That— that was never
part of the equation.
Copy !req
172. Find me a body.
Change me back.
Copy !req
173. I have to feel.
Copy !req
174. No, we— we can't.
Copy !req
175. The transplant is permanent.
Copy !req
176. It's all fake.
Copy !req
177. A fraud. There's the reality.
Copy !req
178. The metal behind the man.
Copy !req
179. It's all I am now.
Copy !req
180. It's who I am.
Copy !req
181. Metallo!
Copy !req
182. I'm sorry. Dr. Vale resigned.
Copy !req
183. Lucky stiff
came into some money.
Copy !req
184. He couldn't get out
of here fast enough.
Copy !req
185. And I'll bet he didn't say
where he was going.
Copy !req
186. Hmm. How'd you guess?
Copy !req
187. This was his office.
You're welcome to look around.
Copy !req
188. Thanks. We shouldn't be long.
Copy !req
189. There's got to be a link
to Corben somewhere.
Copy !req
190. And then what? It's not going to
stop his next rampage.
Copy !req
191. I don't care how tough he is,
Copy !req
192. he's got to have a weakness,
Lois.
Copy !req
193. You talk as if it's our job
to stop him, Kent.
Copy !req
194. After what I saw, I don't
even think it's Superman's.
Copy !req
195. What're these?
Copy !req
196. They call them sharp boxes.
Copy !req
197. They're for used needles,
razors.
Copy !req
198. Hmm. Lovely.
Copy !req
199. Well, what do you know?
Copy !req
200. A parking validation.
Copy !req
201. Now, there's
a page one headline.
Copy !req
202. Kent, it's from LexCorp.
Copy !req
203. It's so big, Mr. Luthor.
Copy !req
204. I've never seen
a yacht this size.
Copy !req
205. I've given the
crew the day off, my dear.
Copy !req
206. But the ship is fully automated.
Copy !req
207. Shall we go for a short cruise?
Copy !req
208. How's the caviar, Luthor?
Copy !req
209. Rich and delicate?
Copy !req
210. Just melts in your mouth,
doesn't it?
Copy !req
211. You like my new look?
I hope you do.
Copy !req
212. Because it's the last thing
you'll ever see.
Copy !req
213. Is there a problem, John?
Copy !req
214. I can't taste anymore.
Copy !req
215. I can't smell.
Copy !req
216. Can't... can't...
Copy !req
217. Now, it's your turn.
Copy !req
218. You didn't think I'd leave you
like this, did you?
Copy !req
219. I told you it was temporary.
Copy !req
220. Liar.
Copy !req
221. The doctor can't do
anything for me.
Copy !req
222. Maybe not now, but someday.
Copy !req
223. I've got people all over
the world working on this.
Copy !req
224. It'll take time,
but what do you care?
Copy !req
225. You're practically immortal.
Copy !req
226. So go ahead,
kill me if you want to.
Copy !req
227. But what then?
Copy !req
228. You don't know how this feels.
Copy !req
229. It's driving me crazy.
Copy !req
230. Get below.
Copy !req
231. I've got to get you out of here.
Copy !req
232. I've got a lab off the
coast where we can repair your skin,
Copy !req
233. but don't forget,
you still owe me Superman.
Copy !req
234. Patience, Luthor.
Copy !req
235. It's something
we're both going to need.
Copy !req
236. Maybe not.
Copy !req
237. Where's Corben, Luthor?
Copy !req
238. - Who?
- I know about Dr. Vale.
Copy !req
239. It's just a matter of time
before the police find him.
Copy !req
240. And what makes you think
there's any of him left to find?
Copy !req
241. Allow me to introduce
my recreation director.
Copy !req
242. I'm ready for that rematch.
Copy !req
243. We have to talk, Corben.
Copy !req
244. Come closer.
I can't hear you.
Copy !req
245. Listen to me, Corben.
Copy !req
246. You're being duped.
Copy !req
247. Luthor's the one who set you up.
Copy !req
248. You didn't know I could
focus it like that, did you?
Copy !req
249. Finish him. Now!
Copy !req
250. Some enemy.
Copy !req
251. Luthor's your enemy.
Copy !req
252. He did this to you.
Copy !req
253. Yes, he saved me
from that virus.
Copy !req
254. Otherwise, I'd be dead by now.
Copy !req
255. - Here's your virus.
- What's this?
Copy !req
256. The doctor...
put it in your food.
Copy !req
257. How else do you think you got
such a rare disease?
Copy !req
258. But... why would he...
Copy !req
259. Luthor... told him to.
Copy !req
260. The kryptonite's gotten to him.
He's delirious.
Copy !req
261. I'm not so sure of that.
Copy !req
262. I'll be right back.
Copy !req
263. Don't be a fool, Corben.
Copy !req
264. Don't you see
he's trying to turn us
Copy !req
265. against each other
to save his own skin.
Copy !req
266. Who knows what's in that vial?
Copy !req
267. Then, why don't we test it?
Copy !req
268. Corben, no.
Copy !req
269. No.
Copy !req
270. Come on, Luthor. Drink up.
Copy !req
271. It did wonders for me.
Copy !req
272. Help! Help!
Copy !req
273. I can't swim.
Copy !req
274. Bon voyage.
Copy !req
275. Help. Help.
Copy !req
276. Help.
Copy !req
277. You'll excuse me
if I don't see you home.
Copy !req
278. You'll never pin this on me.
Copy !req
279. The virus is destroyed
and Corben's lost at sea.
Copy !req
280. And even if you found him,
Copy !req
281. there'd still be that
kryptonite to worry about.
Copy !req
282. I don't think I'm the one
who should be worrying.
Copy !req
