Johnny, you got a call
on line two.

[typewriter keys clacking]

10
00:01:58,418 --> 00:01:59,460
Ah..

[sighs]

12
00:02:07,335 --> 00:02:09,001
Oh, you're in early.

13
00:02:09,835 --> 00:02:11,876
Mm, I like the beard.

14
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,873
But, uh.. the moustache
isn't working for me.

15
00:02:16,835 --> 00:02:18,918
Want me to do it?

16
00:02:22,543 --> 00:02:23,751
Mm.

17
00:02:23,835 --> 00:02:24,918
Oh..

18
00:02:26,873 --> 00:02:27,585
I nailed 'em cold.

19
00:02:27,668 --> 00:02:29,168
Alright!

20
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,210

[applause]

22
00:02:37,501 --> 00:02:39,376
Oh, come on, you guys.
It was nothing, really.

23
00:02:39,460 --> 00:02:41,751
I still can't believe
they thought you were a boy.

24
00:02:41,835 --> 00:02:43,168
Well, the moustache helped.

25
00:02:43,251 --> 00:02:45,418
And thanks for teaching me
how to boost a car.

26
00:02:45,501 --> 00:02:49,168
To Lois Lane, still going
where
no reporter has gone before.

[applause]

28
00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:53,418
Hey, hey, hey,
turn that thing off.

29
00:02:53,501 --> 00:02:55,543
Now, Jimmy, don't encourage her.

30
00:02:55,626 --> 00:02:58,793
She's got a head as big
as the metrodome as it
is.

31
00:02:58,876 --> 00:03:00,210
Well, it's nice to know
I'm appreciated

32
00:03:00,293 --> 00:03:01,335
around here, chief.

33
00:03:01,418 --> 00:03:03,873
Oh, well, what do you expect?

34
00:03:03,210 --> 00:03:04,710
Garlands thrown at your feet?

35
00:03:04,793 --> 00:03:07,585
No, but I would like a raise.

36
00:03:07,668 --> 00:03:10,501
Well, I'd like a 145

What's everybody
standing around
for?

41
00:03:18,376 --> 00:03:22,293
This is a newspaper, not
happy hour at Buckingham Palace.

42
00:03:22,376 --> 00:03:24,751
Hey, chief, I got an angle
on the mini-mall murders.

43
00:03:24,835 --> 00:03:27,251
Chief, I figure
there was blood on the
burritos

44
00:03:27,335 --> 00:03:29,873
because check this out,
they were eating, right?

45
00:03:29,210 --> 00:03:30,293
And the perpetrators come in--

46
00:03:30,376 --> 00:03:32,960
Did you finish
those obituary updates?

47
00:03:33,876 --> 00:03:36,876
Jimmy...never underestimate

48
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,960
the need for a good obituary.

49
00:03:44,710 --> 00:03:46,835
I could think of one right now.

50
00:03:51,418 --> 00:03:54,501
Whoa-ho, I guess you
finally hit the big
time.

51
00:03:54,585 --> 00:03:55,751
Huh?

This time, Lex
Luthor's
personal assistant

53
00:03:57,626 --> 00:03:59,463
returned your call.

54
00:04:00,585 --> 00:04:04,873
Give it up, Lois. Luthor never
gives one-on-one interviews.

55
00:04:04,210 --> 00:04:07,251
Well, he's never met
Lois Lane before,
either.

Lois Lane!
It's going to explode!

00:05:46,751 --> 00:05:49,873
- 'He's got a bomb!'
- No, it's not a bomb.

69
00:05:49,210 --> 00:05:51,001
- It's my credentials.
- I'm sorry, sir.

70
00:05:51,463 --> 00:05:53,960
- He ran right past me.
- You don't understand.

71
00:05:54,043 --> 00:05:56,460
Miss Lane, the messenger
is going to explode.

72
00:05:56,543 --> 00:05:58,043
Please, Miss Lane,
you must tell my
story.

We've had trouble
with him before.

74
00:05:59,876 --> 00:06:01,376
No, Wait a minute. Don't!

75
00:06:01,460 --> 00:06:03,001
Please, you've got
to believe me.

76
00:06:03,463 --> 00:06:06,873
Please,
the space program is doomed.

Ah, yes, Kent.

Oh, Professor Carlton
called me about you.

and I don't know.

Where's that?

- In Kansas.

00:08:16,668 --> 00:08:18,873
Yeah.

116
00:08:18,210 --> 00:08:20,918
Oh, tell him
to keep his pants on.

time, just find a place who
can!

last week?

124
00:08:38,043 --> 00:08:39,960
It puts them
in a meditative state.

125
00:08:40,043 --> 00:08:41,376
Maybe you should try it.

126
00:08:41,460 --> 00:08:44,668
Oh, well, I, uh, I see
you've done some traveling.

127
00:08:44,751 --> 00:08:48,460
Well, this is my
first
trip to
Metropolis.

128
00:08:48,543 --> 00:08:50,335
I have some samples of my work.

129
00:08:50,418 --> 00:08:53,460
Oh, good, good.
Let's take a look.

00:09:07,751 --> 00:09:09,835
fascinating stories

134
00:09:09,918 --> 00:09:11,835
but you see, son,
this is the "Daily Planet."

135
00:09:11,918 --> 00:09:14,626
We're the greatest newspaper
in the whole world.

136
00:09:14,710 --> 00:09:18,463
Now, our people are dedicated
servants of the Fourth Estate

137

138
00:09:20,168 --> 00:09:22,463
of international significance.

139
00:09:22,168 --> 00:09:24,168
Alright, chief, I fixed
the horn on your golf cart.

140
00:09:24,251 --> 00:09:25,335
Not now, Jimmy.

141
00:09:25,418 --> 00:09:29,001
- The tone's still off--
- Jimmy, not now!

142
00:09:29,463 --> 00:09:32,668
Now, as, uh, as I was saying,
you just can't walk in here--

143
00:09:32,751 --> 00:09:34,335
Chief, I think
there's a story here.

144
00:09:34,418 --> 00:09:36,210
We should have this guy checked
out, you know, the crazy one

145
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:38,876
from this morning. He was
an engineer at F. Bradford--

146
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,001
Lois, can't you see I'm in
the middle of something
here?

147
00:09:42,463 --> 00:09:44,168
Oh.

148
00:09:44,251 --> 00:09:46,168
Lois Lane, Clark Kent.

149
00:09:46,251 --> 00:09:48,543
Nice to meet you. Anyway,
he worked on the messenger.

150
00:09:48,626 --> 00:09:50,335
Wait, wait, wait. Wait a minute.

151
00:09:50,418 --> 00:09:52,210
What happened to that
mood piece I gave you

152
00:09:52,293 --> 00:09:55,585
about the razing of that
old theater on 42nd
Street?

153
00:09:55,668 --> 00:09:56,710
I wasn't in the mood.

154
00:09:56,793 --> 00:09:58,463
You weren't in the mood.

155
00:09:58,168 --> 00:09:59,543
'Now, look, Lois,
you can't come in here--'

156
00:09:59,626 --> 00:10:01,793
Oh, I-I gotta go.
I'll catch you later.

157
00:10:04,168 --> 00:10:06,668
I'll tell you,
if that woman wasn't the best

158
00:10:06,751 --> 00:10:10,873
damn investigative reporter
I've ever seen, I..

159
00:10:10,210 --> 00:10:12,918
Oh, well, look,
uh, Kent, I'm sure

160
00:10:13,001 --> 00:10:15,501
that you're an intelligent guy

161
00:10:15,585 --> 00:10:17,501
but you just can't walk in here

162
00:10:17,585 --> 00:10:19,876
with this kind of resume
and expect to get a job.

163
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,543
Mr. White, I know
I lack experience

164
00:10:21,626 --> 00:10:23,043
but I'm a good writer
and a hard-worker--

165
00:10:23,873 --> 00:10:24,376
Kent..

166
00:10:24,460 --> 00:10:26,793
...I just don't have
anything for you, son.

167
00:10:28,835 --> 00:10:30,043
Well, thank you, sir.

168
00:10:30,873 --> 00:10:32,463
I appreciate your taking
the time to see me.

169
00:10:32,168 --> 00:10:33,210
Oh, yeah.

170
00:10:35,001 --> 00:10:36,873
Thank you.

171
00:10:40,793 --> 00:10:42,960
Oh.

172
00:10:43,043 --> 00:10:44,001
Ohh.

173
00:10:52,543 --> 00:10:54,463
You want me
to wire you some
cash?

174
00:10:54,168 --> 00:10:56,793
- 'No, I'm fine.'
- How'd the interview go?

175
00:10:56,876 --> 00:10:58,376
(Clark on phone)
'Mm, not so good.'

176
00:10:58,460 --> 00:10:59,876
'But something will
turn up I'm sure.'

177
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:01,751
Yeah, I think I
better
wire you some cash.

178
00:11:01,835 --> 00:11:03,335
I'm fine, dad.

179
00:11:03,418 --> 00:11:04,543
(Martha on phone)
'You still going to make
it home on Friday?'

180
00:11:04,626 --> 00:11:05,960
And miss your home cooking?

181
00:11:06,043 --> 00:11:08,626
What home cooking? I
haven't
had a home cooked meal--

182
00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:10,960
Clark, you're being
careful, aren't you?

183
00:11:11,043 --> 00:11:13,460
Sure, other than the bus
incident this morning but
that--

184
00:11:13,543 --> 00:11:14,751
Bus incident?

185
00:11:14,835 --> 00:11:16,585
Metropolis isn't the
outback,
you know.

186
00:11:16,668 --> 00:11:19,168
'People in the city are always
looking to make a quick buck.'

187
00:11:19,251 --> 00:11:20,835
If they find out
about you, they'll put
you

188
00:11:20,918 --> 00:11:22,463
in a laboratory--

189
00:11:22,168 --> 00:11:23,668
And dissect me like a frog.

190
00:11:23,751 --> 00:11:25,460
I know, dad.

191
00:11:25,543 --> 00:11:26,835
Believe me, I'm trying my best

192
00:11:26,918 --> 00:11:29,001
to be like everybody else here.

193
00:11:29,463 --> 00:11:31,835
Well, I'll get that
cash
out to you tonight.

194
00:11:31,918 --> 00:11:35,751
Dad, I'll pay you back.
I promise.

195
00:11:35,835 --> 00:11:37,376
'Okay, I'll talk
to you guys soon.'

196
00:11:37,460 --> 00:11:39,293
Bye, honey.

197
00:11:46,043 --> 00:11:48,001

[door creaks]

202
00:13:37,251 --> 00:13:38,293
Lucy?

203
00:13:40,501 --> 00:13:41,918
Are you home?

204
00:13:42,001 --> 00:13:43,460
(Lucy)
'Hi, sis.'

205
00:13:44,918 --> 00:13:46,418
I thought you were
going out tonight.

206
00:13:46,501 --> 00:13:48,418
Oh, I gotta work. I can't.

207
00:13:48,501 --> 00:13:49,751
Don't start.

208
00:13:49,835 --> 00:13:50,918
Did you find an escort

209
00:13:51,001 --> 00:13:52,960
to Lex Luthor's
white orchid ball yet?

210
00:13:53,043 --> 00:13:54,585
No, I did not.

211
00:13:54,668 --> 00:13:57,001
Lois, it's tomorrow night.

212
00:13:57,463 --> 00:13:58,626
What about Mitchell?
I thought you liked him.

213
00:13:58,710 --> 00:14:00,585
Mitchell is a hypochondriac.

214
00:14:00,668 --> 00:14:02,210
They can't all be bad, Lois.

215
00:14:02,293 --> 00:14:04,873
They can't all
be boring or
stupid.

216
00:14:04,210 --> 00:14:05,418
What are you waiting for?

217
00:14:05,501 --> 00:14:07,251
Fine. I'll ask Mitchell
to take me.

218
00:14:07,335 --> 00:14:09,210
I'm not just talking about
the ball, Lois.

219
00:14:09,293 --> 00:14:10,626
You've gotta get out more.

220
00:14:10,710 --> 00:14:13,873
Will you stop?
Jeez, you sound like
dad.

221
00:14:13,210 --> 00:14:14,418
I'm only 26.

222
00:14:14,501 --> 00:14:17,001
Twenty-six today,
thirty-six tomorrow.

223
00:14:17,463 --> 00:14:20,251
And I know why that dentist
Alan
never called you back.

224
00:14:20,335 --> 00:14:23,873
Dragging him to that women
in journalism seminar?

225
00:14:23,210 --> 00:14:25,793
Weak men and the wise women
who love them?

226
00:14:25,876 --> 00:14:27,626
You gotta stop
scaring them off,
Lois.

227
00:14:27,710 --> 00:14:30,626
You've gotta stop being so
smart
all the time, so intense.

228
00:14:30,710 --> 00:14:33,626
Look, I-I'm just being myself
and if they're not man enough

229
00:14:33,710 --> 00:14:36,960
to handle it, then I guess
I'll
just wait for someone who is.

230
00:14:37,043 --> 00:14:38,960
I just hate to see
you
sitting at home.

231
00:14:39,043 --> 00:14:41,293
I get out plenty. I have dates.

232
00:14:41,376 --> 00:14:42,585
You have interviews.

233
00:14:42,668 --> 00:14:44,835
That's not the same thing.

234
00:14:44,918 --> 00:14:46,335
Lois..

235
00:14:47,793 --> 00:14:50,585
...I just want you
to meet a super
guy.

236
00:15:19,293 --> 00:15:22,043
Gwendolyn, have you
made your decision?

237
00:15:22,873 --> 00:15:24,793
(Gwendolyn on TV)
'Alright, you win.'

238
00:15:24,876 --> 00:15:27,043
'I'll keep my promise.'

239
00:15:27,873 --> 00:15:30,418
Tonight my body is yours.

240
00:15:30,501 --> 00:15:32,626
But my heart..

241
00:15:32,710 --> 00:15:35,793
...my heart beats
only for one man.

Keep the theater on this
spot!

248
00:16:02,873 --> 00:16:04,585
We don't need a parking lot.

249
00:16:04,668 --> 00:16:06,751
Keep the theater on this spot.

250
00:16:06,835 --> 00:16:09,501
We don't need a parking lot.

251
00:16:09,585 --> 00:16:11,918
Keep the theater on this spot.

252
00:16:12,001 --> 00:16:14,710
We don't need a parking lot.

253
00:16:14,793 --> 00:16:16,835
Where's Beatrice? Bea?

254
00:16:16,918 --> 00:16:20,335
[chanting]
We don't need a parking lot.

255

We don't need a parking lot.

Keep the theater on this spot.
We don't need a parking lot.

261
00:16:34,335 --> 00:16:37,463
Keep the theater on this spot.

262
00:16:37,168 --> 00:16:39,918
After the dark death of autumn

263
00:16:40,001 --> 00:16:41,918
and the cold barren winter..

264
00:16:44,335 --> 00:16:48,463

might be taken from my heart.

267
00:16:56,626 --> 00:16:59,001
Okay, Bill.

268
00:16:59,463 --> 00:17:01,335
Start her up.

269
00:17:01,418 --> 00:17:04,043

273
00:17:22,751 --> 00:17:26,335
Oh, for the days of my childhood

274
00:17:26,418 --> 00:17:28,835
back when my soul was pure.

275
00:17:28,918 --> 00:17:31,876
'I slept right here
in this nursery.'

276
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,668
'Looking out at the orchard
from this very room.'

277
00:17:35,751 --> 00:17:40,751
And every morning I awoke
with such joy in my heart.

278
00:17:40,835 --> 00:17:45,418
My orchard is just the same as
it was then, nothing different.

279
00:17:45,501 --> 00:17:48,960
All of it, all of it

280
00:17:49,043 --> 00:17:51,376

'Who's there?'

283
00:17:58,001 --> 00:18:00,543
Just...a fan.

284
00:18:00,626 --> 00:18:03,626
I'm not leaving,
not until I finish.

285
00:18:04,876 --> 00:18:07,460
Alright. Mind if I watch?

286
00:18:07,543 --> 00:18:08,918
'I always loved this play.'

287
00:18:09,001 --> 00:18:10,335

- His finest, don't you
think?
- Definitely.

291
00:18:16,873 --> 00:18:20,001
Ah, they don't understand,
the theater is more than

292
00:18:20,463 --> 00:18:22,585
bricks and mortar.

293
00:18:22,668 --> 00:18:24,710
It's drama and passion

294
00:18:24,793 --> 00:18:27,793
and mystery and comedy and life.

295
00:18:29,626 --> 00:18:31,668
Don't make me go.

296
00:18:31,751 --> 00:18:33,873
I'm not ready.

297
00:18:34,873 --> 00:18:36,043
We have some time.

298
00:18:36,873 --> 00:18:40,626
You understand.
I just...want to say goodbye.

There seems to be some..

I knew there was something
to Platt's story. I knew it.

325
00:20:04,543 --> 00:20:06,668
Now, Lois, just because
one madman's prediction

326
00:20:06,751 --> 00:20:09,873
came true, doesn't mean
that there's a conspiracy

willing to take that chance?

00:20:54,793 --> 00:20:56,001
To interview Samuel Platt.

346
00:20:56,463 --> 00:20:57,835
He's convinced
the messenger was sabotaged.

347
00:20:57,918 --> 00:20:59,043
I'll brief you on the way.

348
00:20:59,873 --> 00:21:00,376
And let's get
something straight.

349
00:21:00,460 --> 00:21:01,751
I did not work my buns off

350
00:21:01,835 --> 00:21:03,210
to become
an investigative reporter

351
00:21:03,293 --> 00:21:04,668
for the "Daily Planet"

352
00:21:04,751 --> 00:21:06,751
just to baby-sit some hack
from nowheresville.

353
00:21:06,835 --> 00:21:08,043
And one other thing.

354
00:21:08,873 --> 00:21:10,210
You are not working with
me.
You're working for me.

355
00:21:10,293 --> 00:21:12,251
I call the shots.
I ask the
questions.

356
00:21:12,335 --> 00:21:14,793
You are low man.
I am top banana.

357
00:21:14,876 --> 00:21:16,543
And that's the way I like it.

358
00:21:16,626 --> 00:21:18,668
<i>Comprende?</i>

359
00:21:18,751 --> 00:21:20,293
You like to be on top.

360
00:21:20,376 --> 00:21:21,543
Got it.

361
00:21:22,626 --> 00:21:23,876
Don't push me, Kent.

362
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,710
You are way out of your league.

363
00:21:46,668 --> 00:21:47,876
[door closes]

364
00:21:50,668 --> 00:21:51,960
Dr. Platt?

365
00:21:53,335 --> 00:21:55,626
Dr. Platt, it's Lois Lane.

366
00:22:00,585 --> 00:22:02,335
And they said that I was crazy.

367
00:22:02,418 --> 00:22:04,626
But wouldn't you be
after the drugs?

368
00:22:04,710 --> 00:22:06,210
I mean, you know
they drugged me

369
00:22:06,293 --> 00:22:08,293
after I submitted
my report to Dr. Baines.

370
00:22:08,376 --> 00:22:10,751
Dr. Platt, how could the
messenger have been sabotaged?

371
00:22:10,835 --> 00:22:12,918
In order to
bypass security, you..

372
00:22:13,001 --> 00:22:14,626
Unless the orders
came from high up.

373
00:22:14,710 --> 00:22:17,873
Well, you see, under
extreme temperature conditions

374
00:22:17,210 --> 00:22:20,873
the particle isolators were
in danger of shutting down.

375
00:22:20,210 --> 00:22:24,873
So in order to prevent this,
we installed heating devices.

376
00:22:24,210 --> 00:22:26,960
But when I broke into
one of the off-limit labs

377
00:22:27,043 --> 00:22:30,335
I discovered that the
heating
devices had been replaced

378
00:22:30,418 --> 00:22:32,293
by coolant systems.

379
00:22:32,376 --> 00:22:34,418
To freeze the ion particles?

380
00:22:34,501 --> 00:22:36,876
Of course. And then fumes.

381
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,460
And the messenger would blow up.

382
00:22:38,543 --> 00:22:40,668
- I mean, it's all in my
report.
- 'What report?'

383
00:22:40,751 --> 00:22:42,585
Well, the report that
I gave to Dr. Baines.

384
00:22:42,668 --> 00:22:44,463
Do you have a copy
of this report?

385
00:22:44,168 --> 00:22:45,463
Ha!

386
00:22:45,168 --> 00:22:46,460
What kind of a
scientist would I
be

387
00:22:46,543 --> 00:22:48,585
if I didn't keep reports?

388
00:22:53,335 --> 00:22:55,043
Uh, Dr. Platt, perhaps you could

389
00:22:55,873 --> 00:22:56,626
gather your report
together some other time.

390
00:22:56,710 --> 00:22:58,876
I'll have somebody
come by and pick it
up.

391
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,043
(Platt)
My wife.

392
00:23:04,873 --> 00:23:06,835
We planned to live
together on the Prometheus.

393
00:23:06,918 --> 00:23:09,460
- Where's your family now?
- Gone..

394
00:23:09,543 --> 00:23:11,668
They left when I..

395
00:23:11,751 --> 00:23:14,463
Well, it's all for the best.

396
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,835
Dr. Platt,
who would want to sabotage

397
00:23:19,918 --> 00:23:22,751
Space Station Prometheus?

398
00:23:22,835 --> 00:23:25,376
I don't know.

399
00:23:25,460 --> 00:23:28,168
See, the microgravity
laboratory on the Prometheus

400
00:23:28,251 --> 00:23:30,793
could be the key
for curing hundreds of
diseases

401
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:32,835
'here on earth.'

402
00:23:32,918 --> 00:23:35,501
In a zero-gravity environment

403
00:23:35,585 --> 00:23:40,873
we can actually separate
the proteins that form
viruses.

404
00:23:40,210 --> 00:23:44,835
And so many children
with crippling diseases..

405
00:23:44,918 --> 00:23:49,543
...my daughter..
we could cure them.

406
00:23:54,293 --> 00:23:57,168
I think you and I should
pay Dr. Baines a visit.

407
00:24:03,168 --> 00:24:05,293
(female #3 on PA)
'Morris Sykes
of the tracking sector'

408
00:24:05,376 --> 00:24:07,418
'to report to room 135.'

409
00:24:07,501 --> 00:24:10,460
Naturally, we're all
still in a state of
shock.

410
00:24:10,543 --> 00:24:12,585
I don't suppose I have
to
tell you what a
catastrophe

411
00:24:12,668 --> 00:24:14,293
this explosion was.

412
00:24:14,376 --> 00:24:17,460
Captain Laderman
was one of our best.

413
00:24:17,543 --> 00:24:19,960
His three kids, his wife Anna.

414
00:24:20,463 --> 00:24:22,585
Dr. Baines, what's being
done to investigate

415
00:24:22,668 --> 00:24:23,585
the cause of the explosion?

416
00:24:23,668 --> 00:24:24,960
Well, we won't know anything

417
00:24:25,043 --> 00:24:26,585
until we've examined
the burned wreckage.

418
00:24:26,668 --> 00:24:28,418
'We're in the process
of moving it to a hangar'

419
00:24:28,501 --> 00:24:29,626
'right now for inspection.'

420
00:24:29,710 --> 00:24:31,251
Can we take a look at it?

421
00:24:31,335 --> 00:24:34,376
Sorry. No press allowed.

422
00:24:34,460 --> 00:24:35,668
No exceptions?

423
00:24:38,251 --> 00:24:40,418
I'll see what I can do.

424
00:24:40,501 --> 00:24:41,585
Great.

425
00:24:43,793 --> 00:24:47,585
Uh...on the subject
of Dr. Samuel Platt--

426
00:24:47,668 --> 00:24:49,501
Oh, I have his file right here.

427
00:24:49,585 --> 00:24:51,501
Uh..

428
00:24:51,585 --> 00:24:53,918
...a real waste of talent.

429
00:24:54,001 --> 00:24:56,501
Seems building the space
station
and his divorce

430
00:24:56,585 --> 00:24:57,751
finally got to him.

431
00:24:57,835 --> 00:25:00,043
He started drinking,
taking drugs.

432
00:25:00,873 --> 00:25:02,376
He went from bad to worse.

433
00:25:02,460 --> 00:25:04,463
'We kept him on
as long as we could'

434
00:25:04,168 --> 00:25:06,960
but when he set fire
to one of the laboratories

435
00:25:07,043 --> 00:25:09,501
we had to let him go.

436
00:25:09,585 --> 00:25:12,043
Dr. Platt said that
he submitted a report to you.

437
00:25:12,873 --> 00:25:14,960
Something about
coolant devices installed to--

438
00:25:15,043 --> 00:25:19,460
Coolants, uh...no,
I don't recall any report.

439
00:25:19,543 --> 00:25:20,960
I could check my records.

440
00:25:21,043 --> 00:25:22,460
Could you?

441
00:25:22,543 --> 00:25:26,043
And, uh...give us a call?

442
00:25:26,873 --> 00:25:27,626
Certainly.

443
00:25:27,710 --> 00:25:29,585
Be glad to help.

444
00:25:29,668 --> 00:25:33,251
Let me know if I can be
of any further assistance.

445
00:25:33,335 --> 00:25:34,501
Thank you.

446
00:25:38,376 --> 00:25:40,293
(Clark)
She seemed cooperative.

447
00:25:40,376 --> 00:25:41,751
I don't trust her.

448
00:25:41,835 --> 00:25:43,501
Very attractive.

449
00:25:43,585 --> 00:25:44,793
Young for a woman
in her position.

450
00:25:44,876 --> 00:25:46,460
- Typical.
- What?

451
00:25:46,543 --> 00:25:48,418
That's a typical male response.

452
00:25:48,501 --> 00:25:50,751
Lois, trust me on this.
I'm not a typical male--

453
00:25:50,835 --> 00:25:53,335
No? Just because
she's okay looking..

454
00:25:53,418 --> 00:25:54,543
Very okay.

455
00:25:54,626 --> 00:25:56,626
You automatically assume
she's telling the truth.

456
00:25:56,710 --> 00:25:58,793
And you assume she's not?

457
00:25:58,876 --> 00:26:00,543
Does everyone have an angle?

458
00:26:00,626 --> 00:26:03,293
No honest people
left in the whole
world?

459
00:26:03,376 --> 00:26:04,585
That's pretty cynical, Lois.

460
00:26:04,668 --> 00:26:05,835
It's realistic, Clark.

461
00:26:05,918 --> 00:26:07,418
At least I don't go through
life disappointed.

462
00:26:08,751 --> 00:26:10,001
We have different
sections, just like

463
00:26:10,463 --> 00:26:11,210
the paper has different sections

464
00:26:11,293 --> 00:26:12,876
society, sports, entertainment.

465
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,210
Come here.

466
00:26:15,585 --> 00:26:16,835
[whistles]

467
00:26:18,501 --> 00:26:20,335
Who's the new tight end?

468
00:26:20,418 --> 00:26:24,043
Why don't you throw your usual
forward pass and find out?

469
00:26:33,585 --> 00:26:35,168
Uh, excuse me, I..

470
00:26:35,251 --> 00:26:38,873
Catherine Grant. Cat's Corner.

471
00:26:40,873 --> 00:26:41,626
Oh, yeah. I've read your column.

472
00:26:41,710 --> 00:26:44,626
[chuckles]
Then my reputation precedes me.

473
00:26:44,710 --> 00:26:46,668
Among other things.

474
00:26:46,751 --> 00:26:49,168
You know, I know
what it's like
to be

475
00:26:49,251 --> 00:26:51,876
new in town, lonely.

476
00:26:53,460 --> 00:26:56,001
I'd be happy to show you around.

477
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,043
Uh, well, that's very nice
of you, Miss Grant.

478
00:27:03,293 --> 00:27:05,251
Cat.

479
00:27:05,335 --> 00:27:06,876
Cat.

480
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,873
Um, maybe when,
uh...I get settled in.

481
00:27:15,585 --> 00:27:17,001
It's a date.

482
00:27:28,376 --> 00:27:29,376
Cat.

483
00:27:31,626 --> 00:27:33,418
No, Mitchell, I'm not mad.

484
00:27:34,876 --> 00:27:37,751
If you've got the sniffles,
then you've got the sniffles.

485
00:27:37,835 --> 00:27:40,376
'Yeah, that could lead
to complications.'

486
00:27:42,043 --> 00:27:45,873
No, don't call me.
I'll call you.

487
00:28:05,543 --> 00:28:09,501
[sighs]
I don't suppose
that you own a tuxedo.

488
00:28:09,585 --> 00:28:12,460
I could get one. Why?

489
00:28:12,543 --> 00:28:14,251
Oh.

490
00:28:14,335 --> 00:28:17,463
Well, the man that I was
going to Lex Luthor's ball

491
00:28:17,168 --> 00:28:19,001
with has the flu.

492
00:28:20,710 --> 00:28:23,043
Yes?

493
00:28:23,873 --> 00:28:25,626
Well, I was just wondering
if you wanted to..

494
00:28:33,418 --> 00:28:36,335
Do you want to take
his place or not?

495
00:28:36,418 --> 00:28:38,168
Well, thanks anyway, Lois

496
00:28:38,251 --> 00:28:41,210
but I thought I'd go
to bed early tonight.

497
00:28:41,293 --> 00:28:42,668
Are you crazy?

498
00:28:42,751 --> 00:28:44,751
This is<i> the</i> social event
of the season.

499
00:28:44,835 --> 00:28:46,835
Everyone who's anyone
is gonna be there

500
00:28:46,918 --> 00:28:48,418
'and you want to
go to bed early?'

501
00:28:48,501 --> 00:28:51,918
So...is this a date?

502
00:28:52,710 --> 00:28:54,210
Date?

503
00:28:54,293 --> 00:28:55,543
Oh..

504
00:28:55,626 --> 00:28:58,793
Oh, you mean like in Kansas
where you meet my parents

505
00:28:58,876 --> 00:29:00,168
and then you try
and give me a hickey

506
00:29:00,251 --> 00:29:02,873
in the vacant lot
behind the dairy freeze?

507
00:29:02,210 --> 00:29:04,668
[chuckles]
No, this is not a date.

508
00:29:04,751 --> 00:29:05,835
This is business.

509
00:29:05,918 --> 00:29:07,835
I'm going to land
the first one-on-one

510
00:29:07,918 --> 00:29:09,751
Lex Luthor interview,
if it kills me--

511
00:29:09,835 --> 00:29:11,873
Okay.

512
00:29:12,335 --> 00:29:13,376
Good.

513
00:29:14,751 --> 00:29:16,376
I'll see you there.

514
00:29:18,873 --> 00:29:19,210
Nine.

515
00:29:22,293 --> 00:29:23,251
Okay.

516
00:29:43,626 --> 00:29:46,460
Hey, buddy, you got a buck?

517
00:29:57,168 --> 00:29:59,251
Oh, ho, ho.

518
00:29:59,335 --> 00:30:02,876
You must be some kind
of angel, brother.

519
00:30:12,668 --> 00:30:15,918
Some kind of...angel.

520
00:30:17,463 --> 00:30:20,463
[instrumental music]

521
00:30:45,793 --> 00:30:47,585
Dinner was great, mom. Thanks.

522
00:30:47,668 --> 00:30:48,793
Thanks, honey.

523
00:30:48,876 --> 00:30:52,001
Mm-hmm. More than
I get these days.

524
00:30:52,463 --> 00:30:54,418
Your mother is now an artist.

525
00:30:56,501 --> 00:30:59,210
I call it too much, too soon

526
00:30:59,293 --> 00:31:01,626
tortured heart, waning moon.

527
00:31:01,710 --> 00:31:03,501
What do you think, too cerebral?

528
00:31:03,585 --> 00:31:06,626
No, no, it's, it's..

529
00:31:06,710 --> 00:31:09,293
...it's very imaginative.

530
00:31:09,376 --> 00:31:10,418
Uh-huh.

531
00:31:10,501 --> 00:31:12,168
So, now tell me
more about this woman

532
00:31:12,251 --> 00:31:14,793
you're going to
Lex Luthor's ball with.

533
00:31:14,876 --> 00:31:17,168
Lois is..

534
00:31:17,251 --> 00:31:19,835
Well, she's complicated

535
00:31:19,918 --> 00:31:22,668
domineering, uncompromising

536
00:31:22,751 --> 00:31:24,463
pigheaded..

537
00:31:26,873 --> 00:31:28,626
...brilliant..

538
00:31:28,710 --> 00:31:30,251
And we're not really going out.

539
00:31:30,335 --> 00:31:32,710
It's business.

540
00:31:32,793 --> 00:31:33,918
Uh-huh.

541
00:31:35,376 --> 00:31:37,168
Thanks for sewing
my jacket, mom.

542
00:31:37,251 --> 00:31:38,501
You're welcome, honey.

543
00:31:38,585 --> 00:31:41,043
That electrical storm
over Cleveland was brutal.

544
00:31:41,873 --> 00:31:42,668
Maybe you should
take another
route.

545
00:31:42,751 --> 00:31:45,543
See you next week,
honey.
I love you. Take care.

546
00:31:49,463 --> 00:31:51,335
(Clark)
I forget how beautiful
it is here.

547
00:31:51,418 --> 00:31:53,001
The only stars
you see in
Metropolis

548
00:31:53,463 --> 00:31:54,835
are riding around in limos.

549
00:31:54,918 --> 00:31:58,960
(Jonathan)
Hmm, you're the one
who wanted the rat race.

550
00:31:59,463 --> 00:32:00,835
I couldn't live there.

551
00:32:00,918 --> 00:32:03,543
Not for a minute.

552
00:32:03,626 --> 00:32:07,918
There's something
about
the city, the pace..

553
00:32:08,001 --> 00:32:10,168
...everyone going somewhere.

554
00:32:10,251 --> 00:32:13,001
Impatient...like you.

555
00:32:15,585 --> 00:32:16,835
Well..

556
00:32:18,463 --> 00:32:20,376
...I guess you've finally
found your niche.

557
00:32:20,460 --> 00:32:22,585
Stop living out
of that old suitcase.

558
00:32:24,751 --> 00:32:26,751
I hope so, dad.

559
00:32:28,793 --> 00:32:31,626
Being in Metropolis,
working at the
"Planet"

560
00:32:31,710 --> 00:32:32,918
it's a dream come true, but--

561
00:32:33,001 --> 00:32:35,543
But you still feel
like you don't fit in.

562
00:32:35,626 --> 00:32:38,710
I don't. I don't fit in.

563
00:32:43,293 --> 00:32:46,751
'I have to control
myself all the time'

564
00:32:46,835 --> 00:32:49,463
never use my powers, because
I don't want to jeopardize

565
00:32:49,168 --> 00:32:51,418
my chance to lead a normal life.

566
00:32:51,501 --> 00:32:53,335
Whatever that means.

567
00:32:53,418 --> 00:32:57,668
Just...being human,
like you and mom.

568
00:32:59,463 --> 00:33:01,043
Living, working

569
00:33:01,873 --> 00:33:04,335
meeting someone,
having a family.

570
00:33:04,418 --> 00:33:09,873
Clark, we don't know
if that's possible.

571
00:33:09,210 --> 00:33:11,168
'And you can't risk anyone
finding out about you.'

572
00:33:11,251 --> 00:33:13,463
If they knew you came
from another planet--

573
00:33:13,168 --> 00:33:16,418
But I can't hide forever, dad.

574
00:33:16,501 --> 00:33:20,043
There has to be a way
that I can be Clark Kent

575
00:33:20,873 --> 00:33:22,710
and still use what I've been
given to do some good.

576
00:33:33,835 --> 00:33:37,001
You'll find a way, boy.
You'll find a way.

577
00:33:41,710 --> 00:33:43,626
[thunder rumbling]

578
00:33:43,710 --> 00:33:46,043
Have you ever
met him, Lex
Luthor?

579
00:33:46,873 --> 00:33:49,501
No, but I read all five
of his unauthorized
biographies.

580
00:33:49,585 --> 00:33:52,463
"Rags to Riches,"
"Wrong side of the tracks"

581
00:33:52,168 --> 00:33:54,543
"Self-made billionaire,"
owns dozens of companies

582
00:33:54,626 --> 00:33:57,626
employs thousands of people,
Man of the year, every year

583
00:33:57,710 --> 00:34:01,043
has his finger in every...pie

584
00:34:01,873 --> 00:34:02,501
but rarely appears in public.

585
00:34:02,585 --> 00:34:04,418
He won't give
personal interviews.

586
00:34:04,501 --> 00:34:06,418
Hey, there he is.

587
00:34:06,501 --> 00:34:08,043
Good evening. Nice to see you.

588
00:34:08,873 --> 00:34:10,543
Hi. Good evening.

589
00:34:10,626 --> 00:34:13,001
(Lex)
'Good evening. How are you?
Good evening.'

590
00:34:13,463 --> 00:34:14,668
<i>Assalamualaikum.</i>

591
00:34:14,751 --> 00:34:17,463
You were on my phone
this morning.

592
00:34:17,168 --> 00:34:19,001
Harry, congratulations
on the bio.

593
00:34:19,463 --> 00:34:21,463
'I liked that
editorial on the ozone.'

594
00:34:21,168 --> 00:34:23,751
'Senator Washington,
hi, how are you?'

595
00:34:23,835 --> 00:34:25,168
Gentlemen.

596
00:34:25,251 --> 00:34:27,335
[speaking in Greek]

597
00:34:27,418 --> 00:34:28,960
[speaking in French]

598
00:34:31,543 --> 00:34:33,001
Lex Luthor.

599
00:34:33,463 --> 00:34:35,543
[thunder rumbling]

600
00:34:35,626 --> 00:34:37,835
Why haven't you
returned my calls?

601
00:34:40,251 --> 00:34:41,418
Gentlemen.

602
00:34:44,668 --> 00:34:46,501
Lois Lane, "Daily Planet."

603
00:34:48,335 --> 00:34:50,543
Well, I can assure you I'll..

604
00:34:50,626 --> 00:34:52,543
...never make
that mistake
again.

605
00:34:52,626 --> 00:34:54,668
She's something, isn't she?

606
00:34:57,293 --> 00:34:59,210
Clark?

607
00:34:59,293 --> 00:35:00,793
(Jimmy)
'Clark?'

608
00:35:02,460 --> 00:35:05,043
Uh, yeah. Ahem.

609
00:35:05,873 --> 00:35:07,376
She is s-something.

610
00:35:08,710 --> 00:35:10,876
I hope you'll forgive
me
for being so bold.

611
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,876
But boldness is a trait
I find very attractive

612
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,168
in a woman, Miss Lane.

613
00:35:14,251 --> 00:35:16,960
[thunder rumbling]

614
00:35:17,043 --> 00:35:18,835
Well, thank you.

615
00:35:18,918 --> 00:35:20,543
Um, anyway, Mr. Luthor, I'd--

616
00:35:20,626 --> 00:35:21,710
Lex.

617
00:35:23,043 --> 00:35:24,043
Lex.

618
00:35:25,626 --> 00:35:27,668
I know that you're
hesitant
to give interviews--

619
00:35:27,751 --> 00:35:29,585
Well, you can understand,
a man in my position.

620
00:35:29,668 --> 00:35:33,001
I wouldn't want to be
misinterpreted.

621
00:35:33,463 --> 00:35:36,585
I have had one or two bad
experiences with the media.

622
00:35:36,668 --> 00:35:39,463
But not with me.

623
00:35:39,168 --> 00:35:43,873
So why don't we make
it...dinner?

624
00:35:44,418 --> 00:35:46,418
You mind if I cut in?

625
00:35:48,168 --> 00:35:51,873
Um, Lex, this is Clark Kent.

626
00:35:51,210 --> 00:35:52,293
Clark works at the "Planet."

627
00:35:52,376 --> 00:35:54,001
A pleasure.

628
00:35:54,463 --> 00:35:55,335
Later.

629
00:35:57,835 --> 00:35:58,918
Clark, you idiot.

630
00:35:59,001 --> 00:36:01,251
It's taken me a
year
to get this close.

631
00:36:01,335 --> 00:36:02,501
What, this close?

632
00:36:02,585 --> 00:36:04,335
Ugh, I would've
thought
square dancing

633
00:36:04,418 --> 00:36:06,873
was more your style.

634
00:36:06,210 --> 00:36:07,960
Actually, I learned
from a Nigerian princess

635
00:36:08,043 --> 00:36:09,626
who studied
ballroom dancing in
England.

636
00:36:09,710 --> 00:36:11,668
Really? How fascinating.

637
00:36:11,751 --> 00:36:13,210
Where you going?

638
00:36:17,585 --> 00:36:18,668
[thunder rumbling]

639
00:36:18,751 --> 00:36:21,501
Lois, what are you doing?

640
00:36:21,585 --> 00:36:24,251
Being a reporter.
You should try it
sometime.

641
00:36:29,043 --> 00:36:30,835
[thunder rumbling]

642
00:36:32,918 --> 00:36:34,751
Lois, you can't come in..

643
00:36:39,501 --> 00:36:41,251
(Lois)
'Just look around.'

644
00:36:45,335 --> 00:36:48,043
[intense music]

645
00:37:07,460 --> 00:37:08,668
Macedonian.

646
00:37:10,376 --> 00:37:12,626
It belonged
to Alexander the Great

647
00:37:12,710 --> 00:37:14,585
'a brilliant tactician.'

648
00:37:14,668 --> 00:37:17,376
Alexander's strategy was simple.

649
00:37:17,460 --> 00:37:19,876
Always seize the high ground.

650
00:37:21,585 --> 00:37:23,043
It was with this sword
that he defeated--

651
00:37:23,873 --> 00:37:26,668
Darius, the third, and was
proclaimed King of Asia.

652
00:37:26,751 --> 00:37:29,335
You surprise me, Mr. Kent.

653
00:37:29,418 --> 00:37:31,463
I'm not often surprised.

654
00:37:32,751 --> 00:37:35,043
I hope you don't mind
us looking around.

655
00:37:35,873 --> 00:37:37,873
You've a beautiful home, Lex.

656
00:37:39,626 --> 00:37:41,793
Have you seen
the view from here?

657
00:37:50,043 --> 00:37:53,210
Tallest building in Metropolis.

658
00:37:53,293 --> 00:37:55,710
I must confess that I love the
fact that everyone in the city

659
00:37:55,793 --> 00:37:57,876
has to look up
in order to see
me.

660
00:37:59,376 --> 00:38:00,960
But let's get back to
the party, I think
you'll find

661
00:38:01,043 --> 00:38:03,335
my announcement
will interest
you.

662
00:38:05,873 --> 00:38:06,460
After you.

663
00:38:13,001 --> 00:38:16,043
[indistinct chatter]

664
00:38:17,251 --> 00:38:18,876
[fanfare music]

665
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,918
(Lex)
Ladies and gentlemen!

666
00:38:21,001 --> 00:38:24,251
Honored guests, my friends.

667
00:38:25,835 --> 00:38:28,668
Well, we've come here
tonight for a good cause.

668
00:38:28,751 --> 00:38:30,043
Thanks to your generosity

669
00:38:30,873 --> 00:38:32,463
the Luthor House
For Homeless Children

670
00:38:32,168 --> 00:38:34,873
will soon be a reality.

671
00:38:36,918 --> 00:38:38,001
'Thank you!'

672
00:38:38,463 --> 00:38:39,793
As you know,
I've dedicated myself

673
00:38:39,876 --> 00:38:41,293
to improving
the quality of lives

674
00:38:41,376 --> 00:38:43,585
of the citizens of Metropolis.

675
00:38:43,668 --> 00:38:47,335
Tonight I'd like to go further.

676
00:38:47,418 --> 00:38:49,463
'Now, it is
my sad understanding'

677
00:38:49,168 --> 00:38:51,751
that the congress of nations
intends to cancel

678
00:38:51,835 --> 00:38:53,626
Space Station Prometheus.

679
00:38:53,710 --> 00:38:55,293
[indistinct chatter]

680
00:38:55,376 --> 00:38:57,210
'Profit aside,
the potential benefits'

681
00:38:57,293 --> 00:38:59,751
that a zero-gravity
laboratory could bring

682
00:38:59,835 --> 00:39:01,876
most importantly
pharmaceuticals that could end

683
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,873
'many crippling diseases
here on earth'

684
00:39:04,210 --> 00:39:08,001
must not be lost
to the citizens of this
planet.

685
00:39:08,463 --> 00:39:09,501
So therefore,
I've decided to commit

686
00:39:09,585 --> 00:39:12,918
my total financial support
toward the building

687
00:39:13,001 --> 00:39:15,668
of a privately owned
space laboratory.

688
00:39:15,751 --> 00:39:18,463
I've submitted my proposal
to the Congress of Nations

689
00:39:18,168 --> 00:39:19,960
and I'm awaiting their outcome.

690
00:39:20,043 --> 00:39:22,543
'Ladies and gentlemen,
I give you'

691
00:39:22,626 --> 00:39:24,501
Space Station Luthor.

692
00:39:24,585 --> 00:39:26,001
[thunder rumbling]

693
00:39:27,376 --> 00:39:29,376
Now step right up. Don't be shy.

694
00:39:29,460 --> 00:39:33,460
Feast your eyes
on an engineering marvel.

695
00:39:33,543 --> 00:39:38,168
A signpost to a new age
of scientific advancement.

696
00:39:38,251 --> 00:39:42,293
A flagship cruising
into the new century.

697
00:39:42,376 --> 00:39:45,626
My gift to the future of mankind

698
00:39:45,710 --> 00:39:48,668
and to the children of earth.

699
00:39:48,751 --> 00:39:50,293
Bravo!

700
00:39:51,463 --> 00:39:52,251
Bravo.

701
00:40:05,293 --> 00:40:08,001
[dramatic music]

702
00:40:08,463 --> 00:40:10,960
[thunder rumbling]

703
00:40:32,668 --> 00:40:35,418
[music continues]

704
00:40:46,793 --> 00:40:49,463
[hissing]

705
00:41:01,376 --> 00:41:02,960
[hissing]

706
00:41:15,626 --> 00:41:18,873
[hissing]

707
00:41:26,751 --> 00:41:29,710
[music continues]

708
00:41:43,376 --> 00:41:45,585
Will that be all
for this evening, sir?

709
00:41:45,668 --> 00:41:47,960
Yes, Asabi, thank you.

710
00:41:48,043 --> 00:41:49,668
That will be all.

711
00:41:49,751 --> 00:41:51,168
Pleasure, sir.

712
00:42:04,043 --> 00:42:06,463
[thunder rumbling]

713
00:42:17,210 --> 00:42:18,460
Good morning, Lois.

714
00:42:18,543 --> 00:42:20,585
Maybe for you.
I've been at it for hours.

715
00:42:20,668 --> 00:42:21,918
I went back to EPRAD.

716
00:42:22,001 --> 00:42:23,251
I followed the truck
with the wreckage

717
00:42:23,335 --> 00:42:24,793
to the messenger inside.

718
00:42:24,876 --> 00:42:26,376
He brought it into this hangar.

719
00:42:26,460 --> 00:42:29,501
I tried to get in, but your
friend Dr. Baines threw me
out.

720
00:42:30,835 --> 00:42:33,001
Hey! There's a man down there!

721
00:42:33,463 --> 00:42:35,710
Call the fire department!

722
00:42:35,793 --> 00:42:36,835
'We need help!'

723
00:42:36,918 --> 00:42:38,210
'Okay, okay,
back off. Back off.'

724
00:42:38,293 --> 00:42:41,626
'Alright? Where's
the fire department?'

725
00:42:41,710 --> 00:42:43,918
'People, back. Get back.'

726
00:42:44,001 --> 00:42:46,335
'Stand back!
There's a man down there!'

727
00:42:46,418 --> 00:42:47,835
Back off, back off, okay?

728
00:42:47,918 --> 00:42:49,626
Back off.
Get these people back.

729
00:42:49,710 --> 00:42:51,543
[sirens wailing]

730
00:42:51,626 --> 00:42:54,251
Okay, okay. I got you,
I got you. You're alright.

731
00:42:54,335 --> 00:42:57,751
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
You alright?

732
00:42:57,835 --> 00:42:59,001
- 'You okay?'
- 'Yeah.'

733
00:42:59,463 --> 00:43:00,876
You sure you're okay?

734
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,873
That man, that man saved me.

735
00:43:03,210 --> 00:43:05,168
- What?
- That man.

736
00:43:05,251 --> 00:43:07,043
Oh. He pulled me out.

737
00:43:07,873 --> 00:43:08,626
- Let me see, okay.
- 'He pulled me out.'

738
00:43:08,710 --> 00:43:10,626
- Okay, okay.
- He's delirious.

739
00:43:10,710 --> 00:43:12,210
Obviously.

740
00:43:12,293 --> 00:43:13,710
Look at you. You're a mess.

741
00:43:13,793 --> 00:43:16,668
From now on, do what I do.
Bring
a change of clothes to work.

742
00:43:19,460 --> 00:43:21,585
- Hey, C.K.
- Hey.

743
00:43:21,668 --> 00:43:23,210
- Hold that ele..
- Where are you off to?

744
00:43:23,293 --> 00:43:24,876
Lois sent me to pick up
that report from Platt.

745
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,835
He called this morning,
said he hoped we could read
it.

746
00:43:26,918 --> 00:43:28,251
She also told me to take a copy

747
00:43:28,335 --> 00:43:31,585
over to my friends
at STAR Labs to
analyze.

748
00:43:31,668 --> 00:43:32,876
What happened to your suit?

749
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,293
Oh, don't ask. See you later.

750
00:43:38,463 --> 00:43:40,168
Morning, handsome.

751
00:43:40,251 --> 00:43:43,418
Oh, hi, Cat.
Uh, if you'll excuse me--

752
00:43:43,501 --> 00:43:47,168
No, I don't think
I will excuse you.

753
00:43:47,251 --> 00:43:49,835
I've asked you to have
dinner with me two
times.

754
00:43:49,918 --> 00:43:53,251
That's two times more
than
I've ever had to ask

755
00:43:53,335 --> 00:43:56,463
any man to do anything.

756
00:43:56,168 --> 00:43:58,585
I'm sorry.
I've been really swamped.

757
00:43:58,668 --> 00:44:01,001
- Lois and I, we--
- Mm.

758
00:44:01,463 --> 00:44:05,043
Poor Lois...all work
and no personality.

759
00:44:06,793 --> 00:44:09,918
Well, if I can take
a rain check on that dinner.

760
00:44:10,001 --> 00:44:12,543
Sure, but..

761
00:44:14,463 --> 00:44:16,876
...don't wait too long.

762
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,335
Okay.

763
00:44:21,918 --> 00:44:23,168
Mm.

764
00:44:23,251 --> 00:44:25,585
I love it
when they play hard-to-get.

765
00:44:31,251 --> 00:44:32,960
Cat-napping?

766
00:44:35,626 --> 00:44:36,585
Anything?

767
00:44:36,668 --> 00:44:38,873
I must've called 50 ex-employees

768
00:44:38,210 --> 00:44:40,585
that worked at EPRAD
the same time Platt
did.

769
00:44:40,668 --> 00:44:42,460
None of them are
talking.
I don't know.

770
00:44:42,543 --> 00:44:44,918
Maybe there's
nothing
to talk about.

771
00:44:46,001 --> 00:44:47,793
So, what do we do now?

772
00:44:47,876 --> 00:44:50,793
Well, first we
piece together Platt's
report

773
00:44:50,876 --> 00:44:52,293
if that's possible.

774
00:44:52,376 --> 00:44:54,293
Then we try and figure out
a way to prove that

775
00:44:54,376 --> 00:44:57,043
Dr. Baines got a copy of it and
if there's any written evidence

776
00:44:57,873 --> 00:45:00,543
that Platt found coolant
devices
and Baines ignored it..

777
00:45:00,626 --> 00:45:03,043
I hope you
didn't make dinner plans.

778
00:45:05,210 --> 00:45:07,168
I am all yours.

779
00:45:15,001 --> 00:45:18,001
It's done.
The messenger's at the hangar.

780
00:45:18,463 --> 00:45:19,710
(Lex)
'I knew that
I could leave everything'

781
00:45:19,793 --> 00:45:22,043
in your capable hands.

782
00:45:24,463 --> 00:45:26,001
And what's he doing here?

783
00:45:26,463 --> 00:45:27,835
I have an errand for him to run.

784
00:45:27,918 --> 00:45:29,251
Platt has to be silenced

785
00:45:29,335 --> 00:45:31,460
and those reporters
Clark Kent and Lois Lane

786
00:45:31,543 --> 00:45:33,463
are also becoming a problem.

787
00:45:33,168 --> 00:45:34,710
Lois Lane was
there
this morning.

788
00:45:34,793 --> 00:45:36,463
Followed the
truck
to the hangar.

789
00:45:36,168 --> 00:45:37,585
Alright, you do
what you want with Platt.

790
00:45:37,668 --> 00:45:39,918
You leave the reporters to me.

791
00:45:45,210 --> 00:45:46,501
Tell me, Lex

792
00:45:46,585 --> 00:45:49,168
do you have some special
interest in those reporters?

793
00:45:49,251 --> 00:45:51,873
Clark Kent, for example?

794
00:45:51,210 --> 00:45:53,585
Kent is nothing. He's a giblet.

795
00:45:53,668 --> 00:45:55,710
And Lois Lane?

796
00:45:55,793 --> 00:45:57,376
Well, she's a very
talented young woman.

797
00:45:57,460 --> 00:45:59,751
I may have use for her.

798
00:45:59,835 --> 00:46:03,668
Unfortunately, she may
not be so easily seduced.

799
00:46:03,751 --> 00:46:04,918
As me?

800
00:46:06,876 --> 00:46:09,001
Have I seduced you?

801
00:46:09,463 --> 00:46:12,873
I thought it was you
who seduced me.

802
00:46:12,210 --> 00:46:14,876
I'm warning you.

803
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,710
Stay away from her.

804
00:46:16,793 --> 00:46:20,873
Antoinette, you know me,
perhaps a little too well.

805
00:46:20,210 --> 00:46:22,418
You know I don't like threats.

806
00:46:23,626 --> 00:46:26,001
I don't care.

807
00:46:26,463 --> 00:46:27,876
Everything we've worked
for,
we are so close

808
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,960
and I will not
let her
interfere.

809
00:46:32,043 --> 00:46:34,543
And you know
what I'm capable
of.

810
00:46:34,626 --> 00:46:36,626
Yes, I do.

811
00:46:36,710 --> 00:46:39,335
And that is part of the appeal.

812
00:46:49,418 --> 00:46:51,376
[siren wailing]

813
00:46:53,585 --> 00:46:57,460
This is impossible.
Nothing matches, no dates.

814
00:46:57,543 --> 00:46:59,585
We're never going
to get through this.

815
00:46:59,668 --> 00:47:01,918
Oh, and I'm starving!

816
00:47:02,001 --> 00:47:05,835
I wish I knew
some good Chinese takeout.

817
00:47:05,918 --> 00:47:07,376
I know a place

818
00:47:07,460 --> 00:47:09,251
and I'll be right back.

819
00:47:09,335 --> 00:47:10,960
Don't you want to know
what I want?

820
00:47:11,043 --> 00:47:13,210
(Clark)
'No. I'll bring an
assortment.'

821
00:47:25,043 --> 00:47:28,001
[intense music]

822
00:47:43,043 --> 00:47:44,626
That was quick.

823
00:47:44,710 --> 00:47:46,918
(Clark)
'I took a shortcut.'

824
00:47:47,001 --> 00:47:48,668
It's still hot.

825
00:47:50,376 --> 00:47:51,460
Oh!

826
00:47:54,251 --> 00:47:55,585
Mm..

827
00:47:55,668 --> 00:47:58,793
Oh, this is out of this world!

828
00:47:58,876 --> 00:47:59,918
Mm.

829
00:48:08,460 --> 00:48:10,873
It's in Chinese.

830
00:48:13,335 --> 00:48:14,918
Oh, don't tell
me
that you read--

831
00:48:15,001 --> 00:48:17,793
"A good horse is like
a member of the family."

832
00:48:19,585 --> 00:48:20,960
I hate that.

833
00:48:21,043 --> 00:48:22,626
That is not a fortune.

834
00:48:22,710 --> 00:48:24,001
[laughs]

835
00:48:26,460 --> 00:48:29,043
You are a strange one,
Clark Kent.

836
00:48:30,335 --> 00:48:31,710
Am I?

837
00:48:31,793 --> 00:48:34,876
Yeah, but I think
I got you figured out.

838
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:36,876
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

839
00:48:38,463 --> 00:48:39,376
Didn't take you very long.

840
00:48:39,460 --> 00:48:41,543
Well, it's my business

841
00:48:41,626 --> 00:48:43,585
looking beyond the external.

842
00:48:47,835 --> 00:48:49,960
Don't fall for me, farm boy.

843
00:48:50,043 --> 00:48:51,585
I don't have time for it.

844
00:48:51,668 --> 00:48:53,626
Come on. Let's go find Platt.

845
00:48:53,710 --> 00:48:56,460
'Maybe he can help us
decipher this.'

846
00:49:13,626 --> 00:49:16,168
Lois, Lois, let me look first.

847
00:49:16,251 --> 00:49:17,918
Don't be
silly.
I've seen it
all.

848
00:49:18,001 --> 00:49:19,585
War, crime, famine.

849
00:49:20,626 --> 00:49:22,626
[electricity crackling]

850
00:49:28,918 --> 00:49:30,873
Dr. Platt?

851
00:49:31,501 --> 00:49:33,210
[crackling]

852
00:49:37,335 --> 00:49:39,460
Wait. Wait.

853
00:49:39,543 --> 00:49:41,001
Look at the water.

854
00:49:52,710 --> 00:49:55,710
[instrumental music]

855
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,460
Oh, my God!

856
00:50:16,001 --> 00:50:17,460
Suicide? That's ridiculous!

857
00:50:17,543 --> 00:50:19,293
He's tried it before.

858
00:50:19,376 --> 00:50:22,043
No sign of forced entry.
No sign of struggle.

859
00:50:22,873 --> 00:50:23,585
Nobody saw anybody
come in our out.

860
00:50:23,668 --> 00:50:26,463
We were on the verge
of proving that his theory..

861
00:50:26,168 --> 00:50:27,626
That something he was
working on was right.

862
00:50:27,710 --> 00:50:28,668
There's just no way--

863
00:50:28,751 --> 00:50:30,873
If a man's gonna
barbecue himself

864
00:50:30,210 --> 00:50:32,463
he ought to use sauce.

865
00:50:32,168 --> 00:50:34,460
The man's name was Samuel Platt.

866
00:50:34,543 --> 00:50:36,460
'He was brilliant, a scientist'

867
00:50:36,543 --> 00:50:38,960
and someone who cared
about others.

868
00:50:39,043 --> 00:50:40,376
Under the
circumstances,
I don't believe

869
00:50:40,460 --> 00:50:42,668
that kind of
humor
is appropriate.

870
00:50:44,463 --> 00:50:45,710
Sorry, buddy.

871
00:50:45,793 --> 00:50:47,376
Really, I'm sorry.

872
00:50:48,463 --> 00:50:49,335
Are you okay?

873
00:50:49,418 --> 00:50:52,168
We should've known.
We should've protected
him.

874
00:50:52,251 --> 00:50:53,335
How?

875
00:50:53,418 --> 00:50:54,918
I don't know,
but we should've done
something.

876
00:50:55,001 --> 00:50:57,418
Look, Clark, all we can do now

877
00:50:57,501 --> 00:50:59,585
is try and prove him right.

878
00:50:59,668 --> 00:51:02,335
We have a lot of work to do.

879
00:51:02,418 --> 00:51:04,335
It's only 5:30.

880
00:51:04,418 --> 00:51:05,751
Why don't we try
and get a few hours' sleep

881
00:51:05,835 --> 00:51:08,210
and I'll come by for you
about 9:00, okay?

882
00:51:11,793 --> 00:51:14,001
I can't help it, mom.
I feel responsible.

883
00:51:14,463 --> 00:51:16,001
(Martha)
If you could've helped him,
you would have.

884
00:51:16,463 --> 00:51:18,873
Clark, what's this
about a worker

885
00:51:18,210 --> 00:51:20,293
caught in an explosion
down a manhole?

886
00:51:20,376 --> 00:51:22,463
Your mother told me
he recognized you.

887
00:51:22,168 --> 00:51:23,876
Dad, the workman
was really out of it.

888
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,463
I mean, nobody believed him
when he pointed to me.

889
00:51:26,168 --> 00:51:27,960
One of these days you're gonna
pull one of your stunts

890
00:51:28,043 --> 00:51:29,793
and some nut
with a video camera's going--

891
00:51:29,876 --> 00:51:31,293
(Martha on phone)
'What did you want him
to do, Jonathan?'

892
00:51:31,376 --> 00:51:33,668
You just want him
to let the man
die?

893
00:51:33,751 --> 00:51:35,710
[sighs]

894
00:51:35,793 --> 00:51:37,001
So, how are your
clothes
holding out? You--

895
00:51:37,463 --> 00:51:38,335
Don't change the damn subject.

896
00:51:38,418 --> 00:51:40,751
Listen, I have been
thinking about this.

897
00:51:40,835 --> 00:51:42,043
Maybe it's a crazy idea

898
00:51:42,873 --> 00:51:43,710
but, mom,
how is your sewing machine?

899
00:51:43,793 --> 00:51:45,335
- 'Is it still working?'
- I think so.

900
00:51:45,418 --> 00:51:47,543
(Clark)
Well, I have a favor to ask.

901
00:51:47,626 --> 00:51:50,335
I think I need
some kind of outfit.

902
00:51:51,876 --> 00:51:53,873
Outfit?

903
00:51:53,210 --> 00:51:54,918
Well, you know, like
a disguise I could wear

904
00:51:55,001 --> 00:51:56,876
when things like that
explosion happen, I could..

905
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:58,460
[knocking on door]

906
00:51:58,543 --> 00:52:00,960
Ah! Mom, I gotta go,
Lois is here.

907
00:52:01,043 --> 00:52:03,293
Oh. Lois again, huh?

908
00:52:04,376 --> 00:52:05,460
Bye.

909
00:52:08,251 --> 00:52:09,543
[knocking on door]

910
00:52:13,873 --> 00:52:15,960
I said 9:00.
I thought you'd be naked.

911
00:52:16,043 --> 00:52:18,001
[clears throat]
Ready.

912
00:52:18,463 --> 00:52:20,585
I was on the
phone.
I'll be out in a
jiff.

913
00:52:25,043 --> 00:52:26,335
[door closes]

914
00:52:46,376 --> 00:52:47,335
[scoffs]

915
00:52:53,668 --> 00:52:54,751
[gasps]

916
00:52:59,668 --> 00:53:01,543
We'd better be going.

917
00:53:03,293 --> 00:53:05,873
So explain something to me.

918
00:53:05,210 --> 00:53:06,960
You-you eat like an 8-year-old

919
00:53:07,043 --> 00:53:09,668
and you look like Mr. Hardbody.

920
00:53:09,751 --> 00:53:12,335
What's your secret,
and can I have it?

921
00:53:19,210 --> 00:53:20,960
But Henderson,
if there were contusions

922
00:53:21,043 --> 00:53:22,293
on Dr. Platt's head,
then he could have--

923
00:53:22,376 --> 00:53:23,418
(Henderson)
'Inconclusive.'

924
00:53:23,501 --> 00:53:25,043
'He could have got them
last week.'

925
00:53:25,873 --> 00:53:26,626
'I'm sorry,
but the autopsy result'

926
00:53:26,710 --> 00:53:28,168
'is gonna read it suicide.'

927
00:53:28,251 --> 00:53:30,335
This isn't over.
I'll call you back.

928
00:53:30,418 --> 00:53:31,835
(Clark)
Lois.

929
00:53:35,463 --> 00:53:36,293
Who's that?

930
00:53:36,376 --> 00:53:38,501
That's Mrs. Platt
and her daughter Amy.

931
00:53:39,751 --> 00:53:42,626
Mom, I was supposed
to be at Susan's by now.

932
00:53:42,710 --> 00:53:44,293
Okay, honey.

933
00:53:44,376 --> 00:53:46,793
Take my coat
and just wait over
there

934
00:53:46,876 --> 00:53:48,168
by the elevator for me, okay?

935
00:53:48,251 --> 00:53:50,876
- Okay. Bye.
- 'Excuse me.'

936
00:53:56,793 --> 00:53:58,463
I, uh..

937
00:53:58,168 --> 00:54:00,626
I haven't told her yet.

938
00:54:00,710 --> 00:54:04,873
You see, everything
we worked for was for Amy.

939
00:54:04,210 --> 00:54:07,168
The space lab Prometheus
was the only hope and now--

940
00:54:07,251 --> 00:54:09,460
Mrs. Platt, when you
and Amy left your husband--

941
00:54:09,543 --> 00:54:10,960
No.

942
00:54:11,043 --> 00:54:13,751
We never left him.
He made us leave.

943
00:54:13,835 --> 00:54:16,876
He was sure that they were
gonna come after him.

944
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:19,873
He was afraid that Amy
and I would get hurt

945
00:54:19,210 --> 00:54:21,168
so, he sent us away.

946
00:54:21,251 --> 00:54:23,043
Do you have any idea
who might have--

947
00:54:23,873 --> 00:54:25,168
All I know is Samuel knew

948
00:54:25,251 --> 00:54:26,918
that Prometheus
was being sabotaged

949
00:54:27,001 --> 00:54:29,418
and that knowledge
got him killed.

950
00:54:29,501 --> 00:54:32,293
Please...help me.

951
00:54:32,376 --> 00:54:33,793
Don't let his daughter grow up

952
00:54:33,876 --> 00:54:36,251
believing her father
committed suicide.

953
00:54:36,335 --> 00:54:38,960
We'll try. We promise.

954
00:54:39,043 --> 00:54:40,376
Thank you.

955
00:54:44,626 --> 00:54:47,293
(female #4 on TV)
'We interrupt our
regularly scheduled program'

956
00:54:47,376 --> 00:54:48,876
'to bring you
this special report'

957
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:50,960
'from the Congress of Nations.'

958
00:54:52,873 --> 00:54:53,376
I am pleased to announce

959
00:54:53,460 --> 00:54:55,793
that we have unanimously decided

960
00:54:55,876 --> 00:54:58,918
that the Space Station
Prometheus will proceed.

961
00:54:59,001 --> 00:55:01,463
(male #7 on TV)
'What about
Lex Luthor's proposal?'

962
00:55:01,168 --> 00:55:04,251
(female #5 on TV)
'This body would like to
extend our deepest gratitude'

963
00:55:04,335 --> 00:55:08,168
to Mr. Lex Luthor
for his generous offer

964
00:55:08,251 --> 00:55:10,376
but it is our firm belief

965
00:55:10,460 --> 00:55:12,710
that the space station
should go forward

966
00:55:12,793 --> 00:55:14,585
'as originally planned.'

967
00:55:14,668 --> 00:55:18,960
A project dedicated
to global cooperation

968
00:55:19,043 --> 00:55:22,668
for the advancement
of the sciences.

969
00:55:22,751 --> 00:55:26,001
'The colonists' launch
scheduled for next week'

970
00:55:26,463 --> 00:55:27,960
'will proceed as planned.'

971
00:55:28,043 --> 00:55:30,210
'The rockets will also carry'

972
00:55:30,293 --> 00:55:32,710
'an auxiliary
propulsion module.'

973
00:55:32,793 --> 00:55:35,710
Should any serious
problems arise

974
00:55:35,793 --> 00:55:38,793
we shall be forced
to cancel the mission.

975
00:55:38,876 --> 00:55:41,418
We don't anticipate
that happening.

976
00:55:41,501 --> 00:55:43,460
We anticipate success.

977
00:55:43,543 --> 00:55:45,793
So I gave STAR Labs
Dr. Platt's report.

978
00:55:45,876 --> 00:55:47,168
They recreated the launch
in a hologram.

979
00:55:47,251 --> 00:55:48,751
It was really smooth.

980
00:55:48,835 --> 00:55:50,960
Anyway, they concluded that
Platt's theory was right on.

981
00:55:51,043 --> 00:55:52,835
There was deliberate sabotage

982
00:55:52,918 --> 00:55:55,873
and the transport explosion
was no accident.

983
00:55:55,210 --> 00:55:56,668
Congrats.

984
00:55:58,668 --> 00:56:00,251
He was right. Platt was right.

985
00:56:00,335 --> 00:56:01,460
Now we can write the story.

986
00:56:01,543 --> 00:56:02,918
- I can write the story.
- With my help.

987
00:56:03,001 --> 00:56:04,460
With your help,
and if we can convince
people

988
00:56:04,543 --> 00:56:05,960
there was sabotage
and who was behind
it--

989
00:56:06,043 --> 00:56:07,876
- We can stop them.
- Oh, God!

990
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:10,043
[laughing]

991
00:56:12,376 --> 00:56:14,460
Oh, why don't we have dinner?

992
00:56:14,543 --> 00:56:17,873
- Oh, I don't know.
- We should celebrate.

993
00:56:18,460 --> 00:56:21,668
- Okay. Dinner.
- Okay.

994
00:56:21,751 --> 00:56:24,873
[laughing]

995
00:56:24,210 --> 00:56:25,835
Oh! Wait a second.
What am I talking
about?

996
00:56:25,918 --> 00:56:29,168
I-I can't. I have plans tonight.

997
00:56:29,251 --> 00:56:30,501
Luthor?

998
00:56:31,501 --> 00:56:33,335
Yeah.

999
00:56:33,418 --> 00:56:35,335
Tell me something,
how far are you willing to go

1000
00:56:35,418 --> 00:56:36,668
to get this interview?

1001
00:56:36,751 --> 00:56:37,960
Not that it's any
of your concern

1002
00:56:38,043 --> 00:56:40,168
but as I told you before,
this is business.

1003
00:56:40,251 --> 00:56:41,793
What is your problem, anyway?

1004
00:56:41,876 --> 00:56:43,168
You've had a chip
on your shoulder

1005
00:56:43,251 --> 00:56:44,710
since the day I met you.

1006
00:56:44,793 --> 00:56:45,751
You resented the fact--

1007
00:56:45,835 --> 00:56:47,001
Perry foisted
an inexperienced--

1008
00:56:47,463 --> 00:56:48,710
- Snob.
- What?

1009
00:56:48,793 --> 00:56:51,463
You are a snob, Lois.

1010
00:56:51,168 --> 00:56:52,793
Well, coming
from Mr. Green jeans

1011
00:56:52,876 --> 00:56:54,376
that's really..

1012
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:57,460
I live by three rules..

1013
00:56:57,543 --> 00:56:59,293
I never get involved
with my stories.

1014
00:56:59,376 --> 00:57:01,210
I never let anyone
get there first

1015
00:57:01,293 --> 00:57:04,335
and I never sleep
with anyone I work with.

1016
00:57:04,418 --> 00:57:06,376
This is business.

1017
00:57:11,668 --> 00:57:14,710
Your mother and father both
died when you were 14, correct?

1018
00:57:17,001 --> 00:57:20,043
Why don't I just have my
office
send you a biography?

1019
00:57:20,873 --> 00:57:21,918
Well, because I don't
want
the standard line.

1020
00:57:22,001 --> 00:57:24,960
I mean, I want to
know
the real Lex Luthor.

1021
00:57:25,043 --> 00:57:26,210
What makes you tick?

1022
00:57:26,293 --> 00:57:28,585
What you strive for?

1023
00:57:28,668 --> 00:57:29,626
What you want?

1024
00:57:29,710 --> 00:57:32,043
Pleasure.
The pursuit of pleasure.

1025
00:57:33,210 --> 00:57:35,043
- Hmm.
- Does that surprise you?

1026
00:57:35,873 --> 00:57:37,835
I would have guessed
you'd say power.

1027
00:57:37,918 --> 00:57:40,293
Power's a means, not an end.

1028
00:57:40,376 --> 00:57:42,463
You took over
your first big company

1029
00:57:42,168 --> 00:57:44,001
when you were 21.

1030
00:57:44,463 --> 00:57:46,873
There were rumors that
that buyout was coerced.

1031
00:57:46,210 --> 00:57:48,335
'Is it true that
the board of directors
were--'

1032
00:57:48,418 --> 00:57:49,876
Now, was the food
not to your liking?

1033
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,043
It was delicious.

1034
00:57:52,873 --> 00:57:53,873
It's just that when I work I--

1035
00:57:53,210 --> 00:57:55,835
Hmm. All work and no play.

1036
00:57:55,918 --> 00:57:58,251
Is that your credo, Lois Lane?

1037
00:57:58,335 --> 00:57:59,751
I don't think that we should--

1038
00:57:59,835 --> 00:58:02,585
Why don't we just
enjoy the evening

1039
00:58:02,668 --> 00:58:05,335
enjoy each other?

1040
00:58:05,418 --> 00:58:08,543
Let down your hair,
loosen the tie.

1041
00:58:08,626 --> 00:58:10,376
I'm not wearing a tie.

1042
00:58:10,460 --> 00:58:13,460
But you're so tense here.

1043
00:58:13,543 --> 00:58:15,626
Why don't you just..

1044
00:58:15,710 --> 00:58:18,043
'...let your defenses down?'

1045
00:58:18,873 --> 00:58:19,585
I think you've gotten
the wrong idea

1046
00:58:19,668 --> 00:58:21,335
about this dinner, Lex.

1047
00:58:23,251 --> 00:58:24,960
Look, I hope you
don't think that we're here

1048
00:58:25,043 --> 00:58:27,335
merely because you're a..

1049
00:58:27,418 --> 00:58:28,960
Well, a beautiful young woman.

1050
00:58:29,043 --> 00:58:31,001
Wouldn't speak very well
for either of us.

1051
00:58:32,168 --> 00:58:33,876
Look, you want
an interview, right?

1052
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,793
A scoop. I understand that.

1053
00:58:36,876 --> 00:58:39,543
Quid pro quo. Let me
tell you what I want.

1054
00:58:39,626 --> 00:58:41,960
My talent in life
is not making money.

1055
00:58:42,043 --> 00:58:44,168
It's not juggling companies.

1056
00:58:45,376 --> 00:58:47,668
It's character assessment.

1057
00:58:47,751 --> 00:58:49,793
'And I sense things about you..'

1058
00:58:49,876 --> 00:58:53,043
Possibilities, potentials.

1059
00:58:53,873 --> 00:58:56,001
You have the intelligence,
the spirit

1060
00:58:56,463 --> 00:58:59,043
and the vision
to transcend the mundane.

1061
00:59:00,626 --> 00:59:02,043
'And..'

1062
00:59:02,873 --> 00:59:04,251
'...just so there are no
misunderstandings..'

1063
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:08,501
...you are beautiful.

1064
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:11,168
[chuckles]

1065
00:59:13,876 --> 00:59:16,460
Lex, I have a story
to write tonight.

1066
00:59:17,835 --> 00:59:19,335
I should get going.

1067
00:59:21,585 --> 00:59:22,835
No dessert?

1068
00:59:22,918 --> 00:59:24,710
(Lois)
Um, heh..

1069
00:59:24,793 --> 00:59:26,463
No.

1070
00:59:26,168 --> 00:59:29,293
- I never have dessert.
- Really?

1071
00:59:29,376 --> 00:59:31,918
You don't know
what you're missing.

1072
00:59:34,001 --> 00:59:35,710
[siren wailing]

1073
01:00:22,873 --> 01:00:24,418
[instrumental music]

1074
01:00:24,501 --> 01:00:25,710
Goodnight.

1075
01:00:33,501 --> 01:00:34,543
[exhales]

1076
01:00:40,043 --> 01:00:41,960
- Ugh!
- Well?

1077
01:00:42,043 --> 01:00:44,751
Oh, I blew it!
I didn't get the
interview.

1078
01:00:44,835 --> 01:00:47,168
- No. Did he ask you out
again?
- Oh!

1079
01:00:47,251 --> 01:00:49,585
I don't know.

1080
01:00:49,668 --> 01:00:51,001
I guess so.

1081
01:00:51,463 --> 01:00:52,626
You guess so?

1082
01:00:52,710 --> 01:00:54,463
'I hope you said yes.'

1083
01:00:54,168 --> 01:00:57,335
Lex Luthor is the world's
most eligible bachelor.

1084
01:00:57,418 --> 01:01:00,876
Mr. Right could
be
right out there.

1085
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,501
Oh, come back to earth, Lucy.

1086
01:01:03,585 --> 01:01:06,873
This is reality
we're talking about.

1087
01:01:20,543 --> 01:01:23,418
[instrumental music]

1088
01:01:27,251 --> 01:01:28,918
Alright, let me see
if I've got this straight.

1089
01:01:29,001 --> 01:01:31,585
Now, you want me
to publish a story

1090
01:01:31,668 --> 01:01:35,543
that says the Prometheus
project is being sabotaged.

1091
01:01:35,626 --> 01:01:39,543
'That the space transport
messenger exploded'

1092
01:01:39,626 --> 01:01:42,873
and that the transport
carrying the habitation module

1093
01:01:42,210 --> 01:01:44,293
to Space Station Prometheus

1094
01:01:44,376 --> 01:01:48,210
scheduled to be launched
in less than three days

1095
01:01:48,293 --> 01:01:51,043
is probably also
going to blow up?

1096
01:01:51,873 --> 01:01:53,543
'And all of this information'

1097
01:01:53,626 --> 01:01:56,668
'you got from interviewing
Samuel Platt.'

1098
01:01:56,751 --> 01:01:59,668
A man who was banned
from the scientific community

1099
01:01:59,751 --> 01:02:03,626
underwent psychiatric
treatment,
and committed suicide.

1100
01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:07,210
Although he was
"Probably murdered."

1101
01:02:07,293 --> 01:02:10,876
Now does, uh,
that about sum it up?

1102
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:12,918
- Chief--
- Hard facts!

1103
01:02:13,001 --> 01:02:15,376
Hard facts!
That's the name of this game.

1104
01:02:15,460 --> 01:02:18,043
Now go out there
and get me some.

1105
01:02:22,463 --> 01:02:24,001
What we need
is physical evidence.

1106
01:02:24,463 --> 01:02:25,543
I'll call Dr. Baines' office

1107
01:02:25,626 --> 01:02:27,418
see if I get permission to set
up an independent examination--

1108
01:02:27,501 --> 01:02:29,168
Clark, Baines is not
gonna let you do that.

1109
01:02:29,251 --> 01:02:30,210
She could be involved.

1110
01:02:30,293 --> 01:02:31,335
Besides, we don't have time

1111
01:02:31,418 --> 01:02:32,501
to play by the rules.

1112
01:02:32,585 --> 01:02:35,210
Colonist transport
goes up in two days.

1113
01:02:35,293 --> 01:02:36,543
I'm making the call, maybe

1114
01:02:36,626 --> 01:02:37,918
someone else at EPRAD
will authorize it.

1115
01:02:38,001 --> 01:02:40,043
You do that.

1116
01:02:40,873 --> 01:02:41,418
- Where are you going?
- Nowhere.

1117
01:02:41,501 --> 01:02:42,626
I'm coming too.

1118
01:02:42,710 --> 01:02:45,460
[instrumental music]

1119
01:02:56,460 --> 01:02:59,460
[indistinct chatter]

1120
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:08,463
I guess I don't need
to point this out to you,
Lois

1121
01:03:08,168 --> 01:03:10,043
but this is dangerous.

1122
01:03:10,873 --> 01:03:11,835
Fine. You go back
to writing obituaries.

1123
01:03:11,918 --> 01:03:14,626
I'll grab the scoop
of the century all by
myself.

1124
01:03:15,751 --> 01:03:18,168
How do we get inside?

1125
01:03:18,251 --> 01:03:21,873
- We don't have to.
- What?

1126
01:03:21,210 --> 01:03:22,876
(Lois)
'I watched them load
the messenger wreckage'

1127
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:24,293
onto the truck.

1128
01:03:24,376 --> 01:03:26,835
The whole left side
of the shell was bashed
in.

1129
01:03:26,918 --> 01:03:28,585
That one isn't.

1130
01:03:29,876 --> 01:03:32,168
They're working
on a phony
shell.

1131
01:03:42,463 --> 01:03:44,876
(male #8 on PA)
'Dr. Langley,
main gate, please.'

1132
01:04:01,460 --> 01:04:03,626
You're amazing.
Where'd you learn to do that?

1133
01:04:03,710 --> 01:04:05,001
Reform school.

1134
01:04:05,463 --> 01:04:06,668
It was a bum rap.

1135
01:04:12,501 --> 01:04:14,043
Your friend Lois Lane is here.

1136
01:04:14,873 --> 01:04:15,626
(Jimmy)
Lois, this is so cool.

1137
01:04:15,710 --> 01:04:17,543
(Baines)
'I think it's time
we eliminated her.'

1138
01:04:17,626 --> 01:04:19,585
Kill off the "Daily
Planet's"
star reporter?

1139
01:04:19,668 --> 01:04:22,043
I'm surprised
at the suggestion,
Antoinette.

1140
01:04:22,873 --> 01:04:24,335
She suspects me, Lex.

1141
01:04:24,418 --> 01:04:25,960
You said I would
never be implicated.

1142
01:04:26,043 --> 01:04:29,626
She lacks evidence. Evidence!

1143
01:04:29,710 --> 01:04:31,835
Evidence is sometimes
all that separates the
criminal

1144
01:04:31,918 --> 01:04:34,835
from the successful
businessman or woman.

1145
01:04:34,918 --> 01:04:37,460
I told you I'd take care of her.

1146
01:04:37,543 --> 01:04:39,335
I did this for you, Lex.

1147
01:04:39,418 --> 01:04:41,335
And you've been paid very well.

1148
01:04:41,418 --> 01:04:42,793
In fact, your final
installment's waiting for you

1149
01:04:42,876 --> 01:04:45,043
in the helicopter.
Proceed as planned.

1150
01:04:45,873 --> 01:04:47,751
I promise,
there'll be no loose ends.

1151
01:04:59,043 --> 01:05:01,543
(Jimmy)
Lois, what do you
expect to find here?

1152
01:05:01,626 --> 01:05:04,626
Do you know what particle
isolators even look like?

1153
01:05:12,918 --> 01:05:15,043
Wow. Smooth.

1154
01:05:17,251 --> 01:05:18,835
Take pictures of every
inch of this wreck.

1155
01:05:18,918 --> 01:05:20,335
We'll have them analyzed later.

1156
01:05:20,418 --> 01:05:22,418
Then we're gonna have to break
into Dr. Baines' office.

1157
01:05:22,501 --> 01:05:24,918
'I'm positive she's lying
about that report.'

1158
01:05:25,001 --> 01:05:26,293
'I never trusted that woman'

1159
01:05:26,376 --> 01:05:28,376
'not from the very first
time
I met her.'

1160
01:05:28,460 --> 01:05:31,210
'The way she looked at Clark,
very unprofessional.'

1161
01:05:34,460 --> 01:05:35,585
'Jimmy?'

1162
01:05:40,463 --> 01:05:41,251
Jimmy?

1163
01:05:51,668 --> 01:05:53,335
[grunts]

1164
01:05:56,876 --> 01:05:58,463
Jimmy?

1165
01:05:58,168 --> 01:05:59,585
'Jimmy, get up.'

1166
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:04,543
[grunts]

1167
01:06:12,751 --> 01:06:14,460
[gun cocks]

1168
01:06:20,001 --> 01:06:21,876
Very impressive, Lois.

1169
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:25,001
These days a woman
has to know self-defense.

1170
01:06:25,463 --> 01:06:26,418
[gasps]

1171
01:06:30,626 --> 01:06:32,376
Okay, sorry about
the late hour, folks.

1172
01:06:32,460 --> 01:06:35,876
Just doesn't seem to be
enough time in the day.

1173
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:37,918
Where are Lois and Jimmy? Clark?

1174
01:06:38,001 --> 01:06:40,293
I assumed they'd be here.

1175
01:06:40,376 --> 01:06:42,460
Alright. We can just
start without them.

1176
01:06:43,835 --> 01:06:46,251
'Okay, now..'

1177
01:06:46,335 --> 01:06:48,251
The piece on the recent
sex change operation

1178
01:06:48,335 --> 01:06:50,873
in the royal family.

1179
01:06:50,210 --> 01:06:51,876
'I kind of have
mixed feelings about this.'

1180
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:54,460
I.. Kent.

1181
01:06:54,543 --> 01:06:56,873
Meeting's not over.

1182
01:06:56,210 --> 01:06:58,418
It's not like Lois or Jimmy
to miss a staff meeting,
sir.

1183
01:06:58,501 --> 01:07:01,960
I thought I'd go
call around, if that's okay.

1184
01:07:02,043 --> 01:07:03,626
Hell of a way to run a railroad.

1185
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:06,873
'Alright, let's see.
Where was.. Oh, yeah. Okay.'

1186
01:07:06,210 --> 01:07:09,210
[instrumental music]

1187
01:07:21,918 --> 01:07:23,168
'Kent?'

1188
01:07:26,918 --> 01:07:28,835
Oh, Kent, there you are.

1189
01:07:28,918 --> 01:07:30,460
Yes, sir.

1190
01:07:32,251 --> 01:07:34,168
They told me you were in here.

1191
01:07:34,251 --> 01:07:36,960
- Yes, sir.
- Did you make your call?

1192
01:07:38,418 --> 01:07:40,751
I was just about to, sir.

1193
01:07:40,835 --> 01:07:42,001
Oh.

1194
01:07:43,585 --> 01:07:45,001
So..

1195
01:07:45,463 --> 01:07:47,501
Are you looking for something?

1196
01:07:47,585 --> 01:07:49,668
No, sir. Not really.

1197
01:07:51,376 --> 01:07:52,460
Um..

1198
01:07:54,463 --> 01:07:57,168
Well, I guess
I better be getting back.

1199
01:07:57,251 --> 01:07:58,543
Yes, sir.

1200
01:07:58,626 --> 01:08:00,751
When are you coming..

1201
01:08:00,835 --> 01:08:02,918
...out of the closet?

1202
01:08:03,001 --> 01:08:05,626
Soon, sir. Very soon.

1203
01:08:13,835 --> 01:08:16,751
[intense music]

1204
01:08:23,543 --> 01:08:26,210
(male #9 on PA)
'Sector 4, please
exchange communications.'

1205
01:08:26,293 --> 01:08:28,626
'Check sequence, sector 4.'

1206
01:08:30,463 --> 01:08:31,543
(Lois)
'You'll never get away
with this.'

1207
01:08:31,626 --> 01:08:34,293
'Everyone on the "Planet"
knows where I am.'

1208
01:08:44,626 --> 01:08:45,960
Let her go!

1209
01:08:47,460 --> 01:08:49,793
Put down those guns, or I'll..

1210
01:08:52,793 --> 01:08:54,043
I'll..

1211
01:08:55,001 --> 01:08:56,710
Or you'll what?

1212
01:08:57,876 --> 01:08:59,463
Uh..

1213
01:09:01,376 --> 01:09:02,501
[sighs]

1214
01:09:04,501 --> 01:09:05,793
Nothing.

1215
01:09:08,251 --> 01:09:10,501
(Lois)
I told Perry
I needed a task force.

1216
01:09:10,585 --> 01:09:11,835
Task force!

1217
01:09:11,918 --> 01:09:14,251
What do I get? Amateurs.

1218
01:09:14,335 --> 01:09:16,251
I still cannot believe
you came barreling in
here

1219
01:09:16,335 --> 01:09:18,043
like some 500-pound gorilla.

1220
01:09:18,873 --> 01:09:19,668
If you really
thought
we were in trouble

1221
01:09:19,751 --> 01:09:21,293
why didn't you bring the police?

1222
01:09:21,376 --> 01:09:22,918
- Look, I..
- Don't tell me. I already
know.

1223
01:09:23,001 --> 01:09:24,751
Because you're like
every other man in
Metropolis.

1224
01:09:24,835 --> 01:09:26,501
You've got this
testosterone
surplus

1225
01:09:26,585 --> 01:09:29,876
that says "I can do it
myself."
Baines has gotta kill us now.

1226
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:33,873
I don't know why she
hasn't done it already.

1227
01:09:33,210 --> 01:09:35,001
Lois, I've somehow managed to--

1228
01:09:35,463 --> 01:09:36,501
Mess everything up? No kidding.

1229
01:09:36,585 --> 01:09:38,210
Now hold on a second.

1230
01:09:38,293 --> 01:09:39,918
I'm not the one
who snuck in here--

1231
01:09:40,001 --> 01:09:41,293
(Lois)
'What are you saying?'

1232
01:09:41,376 --> 01:09:43,376
'Are you saying
that this is my fault?'

1233
01:09:43,460 --> 01:09:45,001
At least I have the guts

1234
01:09:45,463 --> 01:09:46,918
to come in here and..

1235
01:09:49,335 --> 01:09:51,501
What am I saying?

1236
01:09:51,585 --> 01:09:54,460
This probably is my fault.

1237
01:09:54,543 --> 01:09:55,918
Oh, God.

1238
01:09:57,043 --> 01:09:59,626
I-I-I sometimes do things

1239
01:09:59,710 --> 01:10:01,873
'you know, like,
jump into the pool'

1240
01:10:01,210 --> 01:10:03,585
without checking
the water level first.

1241
01:10:03,668 --> 01:10:05,001
But..

1242
01:10:05,463 --> 01:10:07,835
Clark, it's the only way
I know how to do it

1243
01:10:07,918 --> 01:10:09,460
how to get the job done

1244
01:10:09,543 --> 01:10:11,251
to get the respect that I want

1245
01:10:11,335 --> 01:10:13,376
that, that I deserve.

1246
01:10:15,335 --> 01:10:18,293
Do you remember when I told
you about my three rules?

1247
01:10:19,668 --> 01:10:21,668
Well..

1248
01:10:21,751 --> 01:10:23,751
I've broken every one of them.

1249
01:10:25,418 --> 01:10:27,585
I somehow manage to always

1250
01:10:27,668 --> 01:10:30,001
get involved with my stories.

1251
01:10:30,463 --> 01:10:32,168
You slept with someone at work?

1252
01:10:33,585 --> 01:10:35,001
Yeah.

1253
01:10:36,585 --> 01:10:38,585
It wasn't Jimmy, was it?

1254
01:10:38,668 --> 01:10:40,835
Don't be ridiculous!

1255
01:10:40,918 --> 01:10:42,293
It was a long time ago

1256
01:10:42,376 --> 01:10:45,335
when I first started
at the "Daily Planet."

1257
01:10:45,418 --> 01:10:48,501
Claude. He was French.

1258
01:10:48,585 --> 01:10:51,001
I must have been in love
with him or thought I was.

1259
01:10:51,463 --> 01:10:54,001
Anyway, one night

1260
01:10:54,463 --> 01:10:56,710
I told him about my story.

1261
01:10:56,793 --> 01:11:00,210
And the next morning,
when I woke up he was gone.

1262
01:11:00,293 --> 01:11:03,501
So was my story.
He won an award for that.

1263
01:11:03,585 --> 01:11:06,251
Didn't even thank me
for my input.

1264
01:11:08,793 --> 01:11:11,210
I guess when you're
in love with
somebody

1265
01:11:11,293 --> 01:11:12,710
it doesn't matter
how smart you are

1266
01:11:12,793 --> 01:11:14,876
or how many rules
you set for
yourself.

1267
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:16,918
You're still vulnerable.

1268
01:11:17,001 --> 01:11:19,543
We're only human.

1269
01:11:19,626 --> 01:11:21,501
And what difference
does it make now anyway?

1270
01:11:21,585 --> 01:11:23,543
We're just gonna die.

1271
01:11:27,626 --> 01:11:29,873
Lois.

1272
01:11:29,210 --> 01:11:33,210
You know what you said
about respect?

1273
01:11:33,293 --> 01:11:37,168
Well, I just want you to know
that everybody on the "Planet"

1274
01:11:37,251 --> 01:11:39,251
everyone thinks
you're just
about

1275
01:11:39,335 --> 01:11:42,460
the best reporter
they've ever met.

1276
01:11:42,543 --> 01:11:44,463
Perry told me that
the day I
interviewed.

1277
01:11:44,168 --> 01:11:45,835
[sobbing]
He did?

1278
01:11:45,918 --> 01:11:48,168
[chuckles
]
Yeah.

1279
01:11:49,876 --> 01:11:52,210
Not that it
really
means anything

1280
01:11:52,293 --> 01:11:54,463
coming from a hack
from nowheresville

1281
01:11:54,168 --> 01:11:58,210
but I think you
are pretty terrific
too.

1282
01:11:58,293 --> 01:12:00,418
[crying]
Oh, Clark.

1283
01:12:01,501 --> 01:12:03,960
I'm sorry..

1284
01:12:04,043 --> 01:12:06,251
About everything.

1285
01:12:06,335 --> 01:12:08,585
I know it's too late
for apologies

1286
01:12:08,668 --> 01:12:10,251
but I never meant..

1287
01:12:10,335 --> 01:12:13,585
Well, I hope you'll
forgive the accommodations.

1288
01:12:16,168 --> 01:12:17,543
But then again

1289
01:12:17,626 --> 01:12:19,918
I never was much of a hostess.

1290
01:12:20,001 --> 01:12:22,293
Answer one question..

1291
01:12:22,376 --> 01:12:25,960
- Why?
- It's simple, Lois.
Profit.

1292
01:12:26,043 --> 01:12:28,501
'Outer space is no different
than any other new frontier.'

1293
01:12:28,585 --> 01:12:30,626
It'll belong to those
who get there first

1294
01:12:30,710 --> 01:12:33,460
and seize the high ground.

1295
01:12:33,543 --> 01:12:35,335
Sorry, you won't be around
to enjoy the rest

1296
01:12:35,418 --> 01:12:39,210
of the evening,
but accidents do happen.

1297
01:12:39,293 --> 01:12:41,876
- Accidents?
- Yes.

1298
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:46,626
You see, while dismantling
the orbital maneuvering system

1299
01:12:46,710 --> 01:12:49,626
'the monomethylhydrazine
leaked.'

1300
01:12:51,918 --> 01:12:55,873
'And mixed with
the nitrogen tetroxide.'

1301
01:12:58,751 --> 01:13:02,335
'Unfortunately, the blast
killed three nosy reporters'

1302
01:13:02,418 --> 01:13:04,793
'who didn't bother
to read the sign.'

1303
01:13:23,251 --> 01:13:25,626
- Clark, how did you--
- Missing link. Come on.

1304
01:13:32,873 --> 01:13:33,293
[explosion]

1305
01:13:33,376 --> 01:13:34,418
Aah!

1306
01:13:49,626 --> 01:13:50,793
What happened?

1307
01:13:52,463 --> 01:13:53,501
I don't know.

1308
01:13:53,585 --> 01:13:55,460
I guess the force
from the explosion

1309
01:13:55,543 --> 01:13:57,873
must have carried us here.

1310
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:00,210
(Lois)
Look!

1311
01:14:03,873 --> 01:14:04,501
Aah!

1312
01:14:10,376 --> 01:14:12,376
Goodnight, Antoinette.

1313
01:14:12,460 --> 01:14:13,585
[explosion]

1314
01:14:13,668 --> 01:14:15,873
Sweet dreams.

1315
01:14:15,210 --> 01:14:17,168
[cheering]

1316
01:14:22,626 --> 01:14:24,376
(female #6)
'Were you scared, Jimmy?'

1317
01:14:24,460 --> 01:14:27,668
Scared? No. No, ladies.
Not at all.

1318
01:14:27,751 --> 01:14:30,918
I was, I was more concerned
with the larger issue

1319
01:14:31,001 --> 01:14:32,418
unless we got out of there alive

1320
01:14:32,501 --> 01:14:34,626
the colonist launch
could blow up as well.

1321
01:14:34,710 --> 01:14:36,918
I just spoke to ground
control
over at EPRAD.

1322
01:14:37,001 --> 01:14:39,001
They went back over
the colonist launch vehicle

1323
01:14:39,463 --> 01:14:42,001
with a fine-toothed comb,
found the same coolant problem

1324
01:14:42,463 --> 01:14:43,793
in the protective
bands and fixed it.

1325
01:14:43,876 --> 01:14:45,626
Launch is all set
for tomorrow morning.

1326
01:14:45,710 --> 01:14:48,376
[all cheering]

1327
01:14:48,460 --> 01:14:51,835
It's a no-go for you,
Lois.
No reporters allowed.

1328
01:14:51,918 --> 01:14:53,251
Imagine the "Daily Planet"

1329
01:14:53,335 --> 01:14:56,873
getting an exclusive
personal account of being

1330
01:14:56,210 --> 01:14:57,751
on the colonist transport.

1331
01:14:57,835 --> 01:14:59,418
No can do, Lois.

1332
01:14:59,501 --> 01:15:01,835
Alright. Another time, maybe.

1333
01:15:01,918 --> 01:15:03,251
Mm-hmm. Now, Clark..

1334
01:15:03,335 --> 01:15:05,873
You're gonna be pleased
to know that Platt's
widow

1335
01:15:05,210 --> 01:15:07,835
'and his daughter
are back on board.'

1336
01:15:07,918 --> 01:15:10,463
Thank you very much,
sir.
I appreciate that.

1337
01:15:13,210 --> 01:15:15,626
Um, Clark..

1338
01:15:15,710 --> 01:15:17,918
I just.. Well..

1339
01:15:18,001 --> 01:15:20,463
I wanted to thank
you
for all your help

1340
01:15:20,168 --> 01:15:21,793
getting us out of there.

1341
01:15:21,876 --> 01:15:23,751
I'm glad it all worked out.

1342
01:15:23,835 --> 01:15:27,460
And, uh, one other thing.

1343
01:15:27,543 --> 01:15:28,918
If you ever breathe a word

1344
01:15:29,001 --> 01:15:31,626
of anything I told
you
in there, I will
deny it--

1345
01:15:31,710 --> 01:15:34,463
You can trust me, Lois.

1346
01:15:34,168 --> 01:15:36,793
Right.
I've heard that one
before.

1347
01:15:38,376 --> 01:15:40,251
(male #10)
'Hey, Lois, good luck.'

1348
01:15:48,918 --> 01:15:50,960
(male #11 on PA)
'All biological
monitoring devices'

1349
01:15:51,043 --> 01:15:52,918
'should be self-activated.'

1350
01:15:53,001 --> 01:15:55,835
'I'm still showing
a red light in sector 7.'

1351
01:15:55,918 --> 01:15:58,543
We will advise. We will advise.

1352
01:15:58,626 --> 01:16:01,463
(female #7 on PA)
'Attention,
all ground personnel'

1353
01:16:01,168 --> 01:16:04,376
'all service vehicles
depart the entry area.'

1354
01:16:04,460 --> 01:16:07,418
I don't know about
this costume thing, Clark.

1355
01:16:07,501 --> 01:16:09,876
It'll work. It has to.

1356
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:11,335
If I have an effective disguise

1357
01:16:11,418 --> 01:16:14,043
I won't have to worry about
people finding out about me.

1358
01:16:15,543 --> 01:16:18,335

01:17:12,710 --> 01:17:14,876
(Clark)
'I don't know.'

1379
01:17:27,543 --> 01:17:28,501
Hmm.

1380
01:17:31,293 --> 01:17:32,918
What do you think?

1381
01:17:33,001 --> 01:17:34,418
Well, one thing's for sure,
nobody's gonna be

1382
01:17:34,501 --> 01:17:36,463
looking at your face.

1383
01:17:36,168 --> 01:17:37,251
Mom.

1384
01:17:37,335 --> 01:17:39,960
Well, they don't call
them tights for nothing.

1385
01:17:40,043 --> 01:17:42,001

01:27:59,626 --> 01:28:01,043
Destroy Prometheus
so that you could

1559
01:28:01,873 --> 01:28:03,376
put your own space station
in its place.

1560
01:28:03,460 --> 01:28:04,960
Then not only would you
make billions

1561
01:28:05,043 --> 01:28:07,585
from the patents
of the vaccines developed

1562
01:28:07,668 --> 01:28:09,835
but you would also be
the supposed savior

1563
01:28:09,918 --> 01:28:11,293
of the space program.

1564
01:28:11,376 --> 01:28:14,001
Well, that's an interesting
theory, Superman

1565
01:28:14,463 --> 01:28:15,543
but I'm afraid that's all it is.

1566
01:28:15,626 --> 01:28:17,335
You were also responsible
for the deaths

1567
01:28:17,418 --> 01:28:19,918
of at least three people.

1568
01:28:20,001 --> 01:28:21,501
'Commander Laderman'

1569
01:28:21,585 --> 01:28:24,793
Samuel Platt, Dr. Baines.

1570
01:28:24,876 --> 01:28:27,463
'Those probably aren't the
only
skeletons in your closet.'

1571
01:28:27,168 --> 01:28:29,960
So you've become both
my judge and executioner?

1572
01:28:30,043 --> 01:28:32,251
Like any other citizen
of the planet

1573
01:28:32,335 --> 01:28:34,463
I must obey the law.

1574
01:28:34,168 --> 01:28:36,463
'I am not above it.'

1575
01:28:36,168 --> 01:28:38,463
'You, it seems,
believe you are.'

1576
01:28:38,168 --> 01:28:41,960
I hold a certain
position in this city.

1577
01:28:42,043 --> 01:28:43,543
Yes.

1578
01:28:43,626 --> 01:28:46,251
And there is nothing
that would please me more

1579
01:28:46,335 --> 01:28:49,168
than to see you
dethroned and behind bars

1580
01:28:49,251 --> 01:28:51,751
like any common criminal.

1581
01:28:51,835 --> 01:28:54,873
That day will come.

1582
01:28:54,210 --> 01:28:55,626
Well, I trust not.

1583
01:28:55,710 --> 01:28:57,960
But, as they say

1584
01:28:58,043 --> 01:29:00,168
let the games begin.

1585
01:29:04,710 --> 01:29:06,293
Oh, one more thing.

1586
01:29:06,376 --> 01:29:08,251
If you ever need to find me..

1587
01:29:11,418 --> 01:29:13,960
...all you have to
do is look up.

1588
01:29:24,043 --> 01:29:26,793
- Morning, Lois.
- Clark, where you been?

1589
01:29:26,876 --> 01:29:28,001
Around.

1590
01:29:28,463 --> 01:29:30,210
Well, not that
it's anywhere near as exciting

1591
01:29:30,293 --> 01:29:31,918
as the stories you covered
on the Smallville Press

1592
01:29:32,001 --> 01:29:33,418
but Superman was in the newsroom

1593
01:29:33,501 --> 01:29:36,626
and I'm just about
to nail down the
exclusive.

1594
01:29:36,710 --> 01:29:38,873
Well, congratulations.

1595
01:29:38,210 --> 01:29:40,210
Clark, you should
have
seen him up close.

1596
01:29:40,293 --> 01:29:42,835
He is the most
magnificent
figure of a man

1597
01:29:42,918 --> 01:29:44,293
that I have ever--

1598
01:29:44,376 --> 01:29:46,751
Sounds like he made
quite an impression on you.

1599
01:29:46,835 --> 01:29:48,960
He did. Mm.

1600
01:29:49,043 --> 01:29:51,376
Why? Are you jealous?

1601
01:29:51,460 --> 01:29:52,751
Of Superman?

1602
01:29:52,835 --> 01:29:54,376
Should I be?

1603
01:29:54,460 --> 01:29:56,543
Please.

1604
01:29:56,626 --> 01:30:00,501
- Where are we going?
- Terrace shoot-out on 6th.

1605
01:30:00,585 --> 01:30:03,460
And, Kent,
I'll ask the questions.

1606
01:30:06,751 --> 01:30:08,043
[exhales]

1607
01:30:08,873 --> 01:30:10,873
[instrumental music]

1608
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:23,960
[theme music]

1609
01:30:50,918 --> 01:30:53,543
[music continues]

1610
01:31:21,001 --> 01:31:22,876
[music continues]
