and smash the thing.

There's no amount of lead

that could keep out so much radiation.

And it wouldn't stand up

to all that smashing either.

Got anything better?

I'm working on something

with one of my contacts.

You're going to go

and meet with him, aren't you?

You know me too well.

I can't just stand back and do nothing.

Well, when it all goes south,

don't count on me to save you.

I won't.

I know you pretty well too.

Well?

Somehow, I knew that would be

the first word out of your mouth.

When the meteor gets close enough,

I'm sending up a dozen missiles.

Each one is going to have

a 50-megaton warhead.

What do you want from me?

Some of my people don't have

as much confidence in this plan as I do.

They think I need a backup.

With the whole world at stake,

that's not a bad idea.

Does that mean

you're willing to work for me?

- For you?

- Yes. You'll be working for me.

But only insofar as I represent

the country that adopted you.

And that you love.

What's wrong?

Was I getting too sentimental?

Luthor.

You think I'd be crazy enough...

...to meet you

without some kind of protection?

- Metallo.

- Who else could stand up to you?

Shouldn't have done that.

He's the president.

- That's not gonna hold him for long.

- I know.

That's why you have to get out of here.

Superman.

From me to you.

What was that explosion? Plastique?

- Something like that.

- It won't stop him.

- He's going to reconfigure.

- Don't worry about that now.

The kryptonite is near your heart.

I don't know if I'll get it

before the wound closes.

Where's The Flash when you need him?

Do me a favor

and lose the sense of humor.

Do us both a favor and buy one.

We can't go back up.

He might still be there.

Neither of us is in any shape

to take him on.

Then what are we supposed to do?

The cemetery was built

over the old sewer system.

But how can we-?

- Are you up to it?

- We'll find out, won't we?

Oh, it's you.

Bruce.

It's not ending here.

I won't let it.

I thought...

...I was supposed to rescue you.

There might still be time for that.

Can we get to your cave from here?

Eventually.

Time for you to see my side of the world.

Some company you keep.

Come on, Bruce. Stay with me.

You know who I was thinking

about the other day?

Who?

- Magpie.

The criminal?

- Do we know another Magpie?

Whatever happened to her?

- She died.

- No. Are you sure?

Reasonably.

Why is it that good villains never die?

Clark, what the hell are good villains?

- Can you do it?

- Sure.

Bend steel and all that.

Clark.

It tickles.

Halt.

Identify yourselves.

Alfred, it's me.

- Master Bruce.

You can rest easy, sir.
