[rats squeaking]

00:00:10,543 --> 00:00:13,376
(Nigel)
Well, what is his status,
Gretchen?
3
00:00:13,460 --> 00:00:16,418
His vital signs
are fluctuating wildly.
4
00:00:16,501 --> 00:00:19,710
It's been a struggle ever
since
that fiasco in the crypt.
5
00:00:19,793 --> 00:00:22,751
I do hope I haven't
made this trip for nothing.
6
00:00:22,835 --> 00:00:26,418
Gee, Nigel, your concern for
Lex
is overwhelming.
7
00:00:26,501 --> 00:00:30,418
Mr. Luthor did not hire me
for my congeniality.
8
00:00:30,501 --> 00:00:31,876
What are you doing?
9
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,463
I've got to stabilize
his electromagnetic
field.
10
00:00:34,168 --> 00:00:35,460
Otherwise we're gonna lose him.
11
00:00:35,543 --> 00:00:39,251

No.
15
00:00:53,585 --> 00:00:55,168
Lex?
16
00:00:55,251 --> 00:00:56,460
No!
17
00:00:56,543 --> 00:00:58,251
It's over, Gretchen.
18
00:00:59,543 --> 00:01:00,960
Oh, no..
19
00:01:02,501 --> 00:01:04,835
It was a noble experiment.
20
00:01:04,918 --> 00:01:06,585
[gasping]
21
00:01:08,168 --> 00:01:09,501
Lex?

00:01:23,335 --> 00:01:26,960
- Lex.
- I can't believe it.

[sighs]
27
00:01:31,460 --> 00:01:32,960

00:02:44,460 --> 00:02:47,543
Lois,
there's something I wanna
say.
33
00:02:47,626 --> 00:02:50,463
Clark, you don't have to say it.
34
00:02:50,168 --> 00:02:52,463
I know what you're thinking.
35
00:02:59,335 --> 00:03:01,585
I've been
thinking
the same thing.
36
00:03:05,543 --> 00:03:06,585
Lois.
37
00:03:08,751 --> 00:03:12,376
Clark,
what are you waiting
for?
38
00:03:17,751 --> 00:03:19,210
[imitating Perry]
We'll never get this paper
out..
39
00:03:19,293 --> 00:03:20,835
- By deadline.
- What?
40
00:03:20,918 --> 00:03:23,960
I said, we'll never get
this paper out by deadline!
41
00:03:24,043 --> 00:03:25,168
- Huh?
- Alright.
42
00:03:25,251 --> 00:03:26,293
I want everybody's stories
43
00:03:26,376 --> 00:03:29,873
on my desk in ten minutes flat.
44
00:03:29,210 --> 00:03:31,168
Lyndon, when am I gonna get
that story
45
00:03:31,251 --> 00:03:32,626
'on the capture of Rollie Vale?'
46
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:33,793

[indistinct chatter]
48
00:03:43,710 --> 00:03:45,918
Uh, Lois,
I-I wanna ask you
something.
49
00:03:46,001 --> 00:03:47,918
Ooh, I'm not gonna like it,
am I?
50
00:03:48,001 --> 00:03:49,460
- What makes you say that?
- You know..
51
00:03:49,543 --> 00:03:51,168
You've got
that tone in your voice
52
00:03:51,251 --> 00:03:52,876
you know,
when people are uncomfortable
53
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,835
like, when they wanna
borrow your car
54
00:03:54,918 --> 00:03:57,668
or money, your clothes.
55
00:03:57,751 --> 00:04:01,043
Oh, okay, you got me.
I-I wanna borrow your
clothes.
56
00:04:01,873 --> 00:04:04,043
[chuckles]
I bet you'd look real cute
in black chiffon.
57
00:04:04,873 --> 00:04:07,460
[chuckles]
Uh, what I wanna say is, uh--
58
00:04:07,543 --> 00:04:09,876
- I know what you want, Clark.
- You do?
59
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,376
I know you a lot better than
you think. How much do you need?
60
00:04:13,460 --> 00:04:15,335
What?
No, I don't want money, Lois.
61
00:04:15,418 --> 00:04:16,668
Clark, you don't
have to be
embarrassed.
62
00:04:16,751 --> 00:04:17,710
That's what friends are for.
63
00:04:17,793 --> 00:04:18,918
Just tell me how much.
64
00:04:19,001 --> 00:04:21,335
Lois, I want you
to go out with me.
65
00:04:22,918 --> 00:04:24,001
What?
66
00:04:26,001 --> 00:04:28,873
[instrumental music]
67
00:04:28,210 --> 00:04:30,210
You're asking me out?
68
00:04:31,460 --> 00:04:35,835
Yeah, you know, like, on a date.
69
00:04:35,918 --> 00:04:37,335
A date?
70
00:04:37,418 --> 00:04:40,418
You mean, like a real date,
where I take out my good perfume
71
00:04:40,501 --> 00:04:42,168
the one that I got
after I saw "Love
Affair"
72
00:04:42,251 --> 00:04:43,210
the good one, not the remake
73
00:04:43,293 --> 00:04:45,463
and I put a dab behind my knee
74
00:04:45,168 --> 00:04:47,376
I don't even know why?
75
00:04:47,460 --> 00:04:50,960
Yeah, I guess
that's what I'm saying.
76
00:04:51,043 --> 00:04:53,418
- Well, that's..
- Yeah.
77
00:04:53,501 --> 00:04:55,835
Well, I.. I just don't..
78
00:04:55,918 --> 00:04:58,873
I don't know what to say.
79
00:04:58,210 --> 00:05:00,418
Well, most people
either choose yes or no.
80
00:05:00,501 --> 00:05:02,543
Well, it's not that easy,
I mean, it's easy for you
81
00:05:02,626 --> 00:05:04,418
because you've had time to
think
about it, you've had time
82
00:05:04,501 --> 00:05:06,335
to plan what you're gonna
say
and what you're gonna say
83
00:05:06,418 --> 00:05:07,585
depending on
what I say back to
you--
84
00:05:07,668 --> 00:05:10,463
Lois, uh, I'm just trying
to ask you out.
85
00:05:10,168 --> 00:05:13,376
I'm not trying to negotiate
a nuclear arms treaty.
86
00:05:13,460 --> 00:05:15,876
(Jimmy)
Hey, C.K.
87
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,793
This just came for you.
It says it's from the FBI.
88
00:05:20,335 --> 00:05:22,463
Uh, who do you know
at the FBI?
89
00:05:22,168 --> 00:05:26,418
Uh, Roger Templeton.
We met when I was in Washington.
90
00:05:26,501 --> 00:05:30,460
Hm, "Dear Clark, I thought you
might find this interesting."
91
00:05:31,376 --> 00:05:32,460
Hm..
92
00:05:35,210 --> 00:05:39,168
(Lois)
Clark, this is the woman
that stole Lex Luthor's body.
93
00:05:39,251 --> 00:05:41,960
- 'Who's that guy?'
- 'It's Nigel St. John.'
94
00:05:42,043 --> 00:05:44,626
He used to be
Lex's personal assistant.
95
00:05:44,710 --> 00:05:48,463
Get this, they've identified
the woman in the photograph
96
00:05:48,168 --> 00:05:50,960
as Gretchen Kelly.
She was Luthor's doctor.
97
00:05:51,043 --> 00:05:53,751
Maybe that explains
her fascination with his
body.
98
00:05:53,835 --> 00:05:56,293
That's not all,
turns out Nigel was more than
99
00:05:56,376 --> 00:05:57,585
Luthor's Mr. Belvedere.
100
00:05:57,668 --> 00:05:58,960
He was an agent
with Her Majesty's
101
00:05:59,043 --> 00:06:00,585
secret service gone bad.
102
00:06:00,668 --> 00:06:02,873
Hm, well,
this says that that photo
103
00:06:02,210 --> 00:06:04,210
was taken recently
in Metropolis.
104
00:06:04,293 --> 00:06:07,793
'The agent who took the photo
has disappeared.'
105
00:06:07,876 --> 00:06:09,251
(Jimmy)
'Disappeared, huh?'
106
00:06:09,335 --> 00:06:10,335
'I guess being a photographer's'
107
00:06:10,418 --> 00:06:12,835
'more dangerous than we
thought.'
108
00:06:12,918 --> 00:06:16,668
Uh, maybe Sheldon Bender
knows something.
109
00:06:16,751 --> 00:06:19,043
Luthor's attorney? Why him?
110
00:06:19,873 --> 00:06:21,168
Well, it's just..
111
00:06:21,251 --> 00:06:22,668
Uh, God knows everything
112
00:06:22,751 --> 00:06:24,543
and attorneys seem to think
they're God.
113
00:06:24,626 --> 00:06:27,043
- 'Heh-heh.'
- Um, Jimmy.
114
00:06:27,873 --> 00:06:28,418
Why don't you
take this over to Perry
115
00:06:28,501 --> 00:06:30,460
and, uh, tell him we're on it?
116
00:06:30,543 --> 00:06:31,751
You got it.
117
00:06:34,626 --> 00:06:36,873
Uh, Clark.
118
00:06:38,251 --> 00:06:40,293
- Uh, about the date..
- Yeah.
119
00:06:40,376 --> 00:06:44,835
It's okay, take your time.
We can talk about it later.
120
00:06:44,918 --> 00:06:47,876
[instrumental music]
121
00:06:50,418 --> 00:06:51,418
It's gone.

00:06:51,501 --> 00:06:54,001
[beeping]
123
00:06:54,463 --> 00:06:57,251
[scoffs]
This weasel, Bender, swindled me
out of my entire fortune.
124
00:06:57,335 --> 00:07:00,376
Lex, you should be resting.
This can wait.
125
00:07:00,460 --> 00:07:03,960
What about the, um,
Swiss Bank accounts?
126
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,835
[beeping]
127
00:07:06,918 --> 00:07:08,043
(Lex)
'Swiss.'
128
00:07:08,873 --> 00:07:10,335
'Ha! Empty.'
129
00:07:11,626 --> 00:07:12,876
I'm broke.
130
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,251
And death
I could deal with, Nigel
131
00:07:15,335 --> 00:07:18,376
but to be broke,
no money, no power
132
00:07:18,460 --> 00:07:20,043
that's not something
I'm prepared for.
133
00:07:20,873 --> 00:07:23,376
Oh, knowing you, sir, I'm sure
it's just a temporary
condition.
134
00:07:23,460 --> 00:07:24,876
(Lex)
'Yeah, the money, perhaps'
135
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,710
but true power lies
in the possession of
Kryptonite.
136
00:07:28,793 --> 00:07:32,463
Until I find it, I'm nothing.
137
00:07:32,168 --> 00:07:34,873
[sighs]
Well..
138
00:07:35,460 --> 00:07:36,876
First things first.
139
00:07:37,626 --> 00:07:39,918
Nigel.
140
00:07:40,001 --> 00:07:43,251
I'd like you to arrange a
little
meeting with Mr. Bender.
141
00:07:43,335 --> 00:07:44,918
- Yes, sir.
- And, Nigel.
142
00:07:45,001 --> 00:07:48,918
Let's drop the sir.
No need for facades.
143
00:07:49,001 --> 00:07:52,585
Look at us. We are what we are.
144
00:07:52,668 --> 00:07:54,418
(Nigel)
'And what is that?'
145
00:07:54,501 --> 00:07:58,376
Ordinary street fighters,
like the old days.
146
00:07:58,460 --> 00:08:00,710
I've never thought
there was anything ordinary
147
00:08:00,793 --> 00:08:01,918
about you, Lex.
148
00:08:02,001 --> 00:08:03,585
Yeah, well, thank you, my dear.
149
00:08:03,668 --> 00:08:05,376
You're absolutely right.
150
00:08:06,585 --> 00:08:09,043
[train chugging]
151
00:08:10,210 --> 00:08:11,876
And what's this?
152
00:08:18,001 --> 00:08:20,876
What is this?
I'm losing my hair.
153
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,293
What have you done to me?
154
00:08:23,376 --> 00:08:25,543
What have you done to me?
155
00:08:25,626 --> 00:08:28,460
Lex, your body has been through
a tremendous ordeal.
156
00:08:28,543 --> 00:08:31,960
You're bound to experience
some temporary side
effects.
157
00:08:32,043 --> 00:08:34,463
You need to rest.
158
00:08:34,168 --> 00:08:35,710
Alright, shave it off.
159
00:08:37,376 --> 00:08:40,585
Don't just stand there.
Shave it off.
160
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,460
And, Nigel,
I want you to do me a favor.
161
00:08:50,543 --> 00:08:53,918
I want you to find out
whatever
you can about Lois Lane.
162
00:08:54,543 --> 00:08:55,835
Ow!
163
00:08:58,626 --> 00:09:00,835
Well, that's a good
thing
you're not a surgeon.

[indistinct yelling]
168
00:09:12,543 --> 00:09:14,501
- Clark, that's Bender.
- Hey! Hey!
169
00:09:14,585 --> 00:09:17,293
[grunting]
170
00:09:17,376 --> 00:09:19,001
[intense music]
171
00:09:19,463 --> 00:09:20,376
Hello, Bender.
172
00:09:22,418 --> 00:09:24,335
[grunting]
173
00:09:24,418 --> 00:09:26,460
I'm gonna call the police.
Stay here.
174
00:09:28,463 --> 00:09:31,463

00:09:54,460 --> 00:09:55,585
[indistinct chatter]
178
00:09:55,668 --> 00:09:57,463
[manhole shuts]
179
00:10:05,293 --> 00:10:06,710
Watch the suit.
180
00:10:08,873 --> 00:10:10,043
Who are you people?
181
00:10:10,873 --> 00:10:12,251
- Do you realize who you are--
- Shut up.
182
00:10:17,876 --> 00:10:20,376
Look, if you're with Intergang--
183
00:10:20,460 --> 00:10:21,710
(Lex)
What's Intergang?
184
00:10:21,793 --> 00:10:24,043
A new crime organization
in Metropolis.
185
00:10:24,873 --> 00:10:28,585
Ooh, just a group of thugs,
all substance and no style.
186
00:10:28,668 --> 00:10:31,418
Didn't take long
for the jackals to move in.
187
00:10:31,501 --> 00:10:34,463
Look, look, whoever you are
188
00:10:34,168 --> 00:10:37,543
I want you to know right now,
you can't..
189
00:10:38,918 --> 00:10:41,876
[dramatic music]
190
00:10:43,585 --> 00:10:45,751
Oh, yes, I can.
191
00:10:45,835 --> 00:10:48,585
Le.. Lex?
192
00:10:48,668 --> 00:10:50,835
Luthor.
193
00:10:50,918 --> 00:10:52,918
Your worst nightmare.
194
00:10:53,001 --> 00:10:55,918
A billion dollars, Mr. Bender.
Where is it?
195
00:10:56,001 --> 00:10:58,168
It's all, it's all tied
up
in real estate.
196
00:10:58,251 --> 00:10:59,793
Uh, I-I could get you
a few thousand--
197
00:10:59,876 --> 00:11:01,501
No, sorry. Wrong answer.
198
00:11:01,585 --> 00:11:04,463
[groaning]
Alright!
199
00:11:04,168 --> 00:11:06,293
I-I-I know, know people
in Intergang!
200
00:11:06,376 --> 00:11:08,376
Ah, maybe I could talk them
into bringing you in.
201
00:11:08,460 --> 00:11:10,293
Sorry, Mr. Bender,
wrong answer again!
202
00:11:10,376 --> 00:11:13,376
- Ooh! Ooh! Oh!
- Oh, look!
203
00:11:13,460 --> 00:11:15,793
Gretchen, the rats have
a voracious appetite tonight.
204
00:11:15,876 --> 00:11:17,418
But will they eat
one of their own?
205
00:11:17,501 --> 00:11:18,960
(Bender)
'Please, please. I'll..'
206
00:11:19,043 --> 00:11:20,251
'I'll-I'll get it back for you.'
207
00:11:20,335 --> 00:11:22,418
- I, I promise.
- Bon appetit.
208
00:11:22,501 --> 00:11:26,251
I, I've got Kryptonite!
I can get you Kryptonite!
209
00:11:26,335 --> 00:11:28,293
[panting]
210
00:11:28,376 --> 00:11:30,710
[groaning]
211
00:11:32,251 --> 00:11:33,335
I know who has it.
212
00:11:33,418 --> 00:11:34,960
How do you know
about Kryptonite?
213
00:11:35,043 --> 00:11:38,335
Look, I know someone.
214
00:11:38,418 --> 00:11:40,210
[panting]
I can get it for you.
215
00:11:43,168 --> 00:11:45,543
If you cross me, Bender
216
00:11:45,626 --> 00:11:48,873
I will cut open your chest
217
00:11:48,210 --> 00:11:50,543
and sew up a rat inside.
218
00:11:52,793 --> 00:11:57,873
Superman told me that that van
was operated by remote control.
219
00:11:57,210 --> 00:11:59,751
Why do you suppose
someone would kidnap Bender?
220
00:11:59,835 --> 00:12:04,463
It can't be for money. Who
would
pay ransom for a lawyer?
221
00:12:04,168 --> 00:12:06,873
[telephone ringing]
222
00:12:06,210 --> 00:12:07,543
Clark Kent.
223
00:12:08,918 --> 00:12:12,251
Do I want them?
Can you hang on a minute?
224
00:12:14,543 --> 00:12:16,835
Lois, this ticket broker has got
225
00:12:16,918 --> 00:12:18,376
two of the last
Pearl Jam tickets
226
00:12:18,460 --> 00:12:21,873
for the concert tomorrow night.
227
00:12:21,210 --> 00:12:23,463
Would you like to go?
228
00:12:23,168 --> 00:12:26,668
Oh, right. The date thing.
229
00:12:29,168 --> 00:12:30,251
Uh..
230
00:12:33,001 --> 00:12:34,710
What about Mayson?
231
00:12:34,793 --> 00:12:37,585
Well, the guy's only got
two tickets.
232
00:12:37,668 --> 00:12:40,585
- Clark--
- Lois, I'm asking you out.
233
00:12:42,043 --> 00:12:44,376
Okay, fair enough.
234
00:12:44,460 --> 00:12:47,335
It's a big deal.
We work together.
235
00:12:47,418 --> 00:12:51,463
And what happens
if, you know, it
bombs?
236
00:12:52,335 --> 00:12:54,210
We'll always be friends.
237
00:12:54,293 --> 00:12:57,710
(man on phone)
'Hello, Mr. Clark, you there?
Hello!'
238
00:12:57,793 --> 00:12:59,873
Yeah, I'm still here.
239
00:12:59,793 --> 00:13:01,463
I-I know.
240
00:13:01,168 --> 00:13:03,210
We both need an answer.
241
00:13:03,293 --> 00:13:06,293
[instrumental music]
242
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,210
Okay.
243
00:13:09,293 --> 00:13:11,001
[chuckles]
244
00:13:11,463 --> 00:13:13,543
- Okay, I'll take 'em.
- Hm.
245
00:13:17,873 --> 00:13:18,418
How much?
246
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,463
Each?
247
00:13:22,293 --> 00:13:25,918
No, no, no.
That sounds reasonable.
248
00:13:26,001 --> 00:13:28,418
Okay, great. Thanks.
249
00:13:34,001 --> 00:13:35,043
So..
250
00:13:36,293 --> 00:13:38,463
[chuckles]
So..
251
00:13:39,460 --> 00:13:40,835
- Am I interrupting something?
- No.
252
00:13:40,918 --> 00:13:43,335
- No, no.
- No.
253
00:13:43,418 --> 00:13:45,001
It's okay, guys.
I'm not the principal.
254
00:13:45,463 --> 00:13:47,501
I just came over to give you
this lab report on the van.
255
00:13:47,585 --> 00:13:49,751
Turns out there's a trap
door
in the floor.
256
00:13:49,835 --> 00:13:51,873
Oh, so that's how Bender
257
00:13:51,210 --> 00:13:52,876
disappeared
without anybody seeing him.
258
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,918
Yeah, magic always
seems to have an explanation.
259
00:13:56,001 --> 00:13:57,460
- Anything else?
- Uh, yeah.
260
00:13:57,543 --> 00:13:59,418
The van's registered
to a guy in Park Ridge.
261
00:13:59,501 --> 00:14:01,501
The cops have him
down at the station right
now.
262
00:14:01,585 --> 00:14:03,960
Well, you start on the
story,
I'll go to the station.
263
00:14:04,043 --> 00:14:06,626
Oh, and as long as I'm out,
I can pick up those, uh
264
00:14:06,710 --> 00:14:09,918
uh, things that we need for
the thing that we talked
about.
265
00:14:10,001 --> 00:14:11,835
No, no, no.
I-it's out of your way.
266
00:14:11,918 --> 00:14:15,293
- I'll just send a runner.
- Okay.
267
00:14:15,376 --> 00:14:18,335
[instrumental music]
268
00:14:24,626 --> 00:14:26,463
[chuckles]
What?
269
00:14:26,168 --> 00:14:27,626
Nothin'.
270
00:14:27,710 --> 00:14:30,876
[laughs]
I didn't say nothin'.
271
00:14:35,418 --> 00:14:37,835
[indistinct chatter]
272
00:14:38,876 --> 00:14:40,210
Excuse me, miss.
273
00:14:41,751 --> 00:14:44,585
Could you help an old
man
across the street?
274
00:14:44,668 --> 00:14:46,293
Oh, uh..
275
00:14:46,376 --> 00:14:48,960
Huh, sure. Of course.
276
00:14:50,626 --> 00:14:52,168
[siren blaring]
277
00:14:52,251 --> 00:14:54,793
Okay, here,
just watch it down the curb.
278
00:14:56,251 --> 00:14:57,418
Yeah.
279
00:14:57,501 --> 00:14:58,710
Aren't you that reporter
280
00:14:58,793 --> 00:15:02,001
who almost married Lex Luthor?
281
00:15:02,668 --> 00:15:03,960
Uh..
282
00:15:04,043 --> 00:15:05,835
- Yeah.
- Uh, Lois Lane, right?
283
00:15:05,918 --> 00:15:09,793
So tell me, what was that,
uh, Luthor fellow like?
284
00:15:10,918 --> 00:15:12,668
Well, he was, uh
285
00:15:12,751 --> 00:15:17,463
very magnetic and very charming.
286
00:15:17,168 --> 00:15:19,710
He was also
a very dangerous criminal.
287
00:15:19,793 --> 00:15:21,918
Alright, I see, but I hear
288
00:15:22,001 --> 00:15:25,210
you young women like them
bad-boy types these days.
289
00:15:26,793 --> 00:15:28,793
Well, I don't think
that's always true.
290
00:15:28,876 --> 00:15:30,668
I mean,
I guess sometimes it
is.
291
00:15:34,463 --> 00:15:38,251
Uh, excuse me,
I-I am late for an
appointment.
292
00:15:39,835 --> 00:15:42,793
[siren blaring]
293
00:15:46,668 --> 00:15:49,876
[sighs]
She's more beautiful than
ever.
294
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,168
(Nigel)
Oh? And what about Gretchen?
295
00:15:53,418 --> 00:15:54,626
What about her?
She's my
physician.
296
00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:56,376
She doesn't inspire me.
297
00:15:56,460 --> 00:15:59,043
I suppose it has occurred to
you
that Ms. Lane
298
00:15:59,873 --> 00:16:02,873
might not come quite so easily
this time.
299
00:16:03,626 --> 00:16:05,463
"If I cannot prove the
lover
to entertain
300
00:16:05,168 --> 00:16:06,960
"these fair, well-spoken days
301
00:16:07,043 --> 00:16:08,376
I'm determined
to prove the
villain."
302
00:16:08,460 --> 00:16:10,626
[laughs]
"Richard III," your favorite.
303
00:16:10,710 --> 00:16:13,960
My hero. And like
Richard,
I will not be denied.
304
00:16:14,043 --> 00:16:15,418
I'll give her the
chance
to come willingly.
305
00:16:15,501 --> 00:16:17,918
If she won't come,
I'll take her by
force.
306
00:16:18,001 --> 00:16:19,918
After you get the Kryptonite.
307
00:16:20,001 --> 00:16:21,626
[chuckles]
Of course.
308
00:16:24,710 --> 00:16:25,793
(Lois)
The police said
the owner of the van
309
00:16:25,876 --> 00:16:27,335
loaned it to a friend of his
310
00:16:27,418 --> 00:16:30,960
an ex-con named Ramin Tarbush.
311
00:16:31,043 --> 00:16:33,876
I called his parole officer,
he hadn't seen Tarbush in weeks
312
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,585
but I asked for a description.
Exact match to the kidnapper.
313
00:16:38,668 --> 00:16:41,251
Are you thinking
what I'm
thinking?
314
00:16:41,335 --> 00:16:42,960
- Bobby Bigmouth?
- Mm-hmm.
315
00:16:43,043 --> 00:16:46,793
Now, what in the blazes
is a Bobby Bigmouth?
316
00:16:47,751 --> 00:16:49,001
Hm.
317
00:16:51,463 --> 00:16:52,418
Hm..
318
00:16:52,501 --> 00:16:54,376
- Bobby.
- Hm?
319
00:16:54,460 --> 00:16:56,668
Oh, if it ain't
the two lovebirds.
320
00:16:56,751 --> 00:16:59,585
- Did you tell him?
- 'No, no, no.'
321
00:16:59,668 --> 00:17:00,960
I got it from his ticket broker.
322
00:17:01,043 --> 00:17:01,960
He's a barracuda in business
323
00:17:02,043 --> 00:17:03,793
but he's a romantic at heart.
324
00:17:03,876 --> 00:17:05,293
- So you two excited?
- Well, Bobby..
325
00:17:05,376 --> 00:17:06,543
We didn't come here
to talk about--
326
00:17:06,626 --> 00:17:07,960
I want you to know
how happy I am for you
327
00:17:08,043 --> 00:17:09,376
and that there are
a lot of people out there
328
00:17:09,460 --> 00:17:11,001
that are really pulling
for this to work out.
329
00:17:11,463 --> 00:17:12,376
- What people?
- What?
330
00:17:12,460 --> 00:17:14,873
You think it's a big secret
that Clark here
331
00:17:14,210 --> 00:17:15,460
has, uh, been mooning over you?
332
00:17:15,543 --> 00:17:17,960
I wouldn't say mooning,
well, exactly.
333
00:17:18,043 --> 00:17:19,418
- I'm..
- I love being in love, I
mean..
334
00:17:19,501 --> 00:17:22,710
There's no feeling like it
in the whole world..
335
00:17:22,793 --> 00:17:24,835
...except,
maybe a really full stomach.
336
00:17:24,918 --> 00:17:28,460
And I love the fact that
we're pushing pigs in a
blanket.
337
00:17:28,543 --> 00:17:32,001
Yeah, Bobby, do you know
an ex-con named Ramin Tarbush?
338
00:17:32,463 --> 00:17:35,668
Of course, last I heard, he's
been living out in the
streets.
339
00:17:35,751 --> 00:17:38,460
But he has his meals
at the, uh, homeless shelter
340
00:17:38,543 --> 00:17:39,960
on Union Street.
341
00:17:42,001 --> 00:17:42,960
Hm.
342
00:17:45,543 --> 00:17:49,168
Ah, what happened to my
manners?
Anybody thirsty?
343
00:17:49,251 --> 00:17:50,710
[door buzzing]
344
00:17:52,626 --> 00:17:54,460
You have five minutes, Rollie.
345
00:17:55,460 --> 00:17:57,418
[dramatic music]
346
00:17:57,501 --> 00:17:58,751
[door shuts]
347
00:18:00,751 --> 00:18:02,043
You Bender?
348
00:18:05,626 --> 00:18:08,376
Who are these bozos?
349
00:18:08,460 --> 00:18:11,710
I caution you on
your choice of words, Mr.
Vale.
350
00:18:11,793 --> 00:18:13,543
Oh, yeah?
351
00:18:13,626 --> 00:18:18,376
Well, in case you haven't
noticed, I'm in prison.
352
00:18:18,460 --> 00:18:21,210
What are you gonna do,
charge me with being rude?
353
00:18:21,293 --> 00:18:24,585
Of course not, Mr. Vale.
I'll simply have you killed.
354
00:18:24,668 --> 00:18:27,251
[laughs]
Oh, really?
355
00:18:27,335 --> 00:18:28,501
You and what..
356
00:18:31,668 --> 00:18:32,835
Luthor?
357
00:18:34,460 --> 00:18:36,376
How?
358
00:18:36,460 --> 00:18:37,960
There are more
things
in heaven and Earth
359
00:18:38,043 --> 00:18:41,001
than are dreamt of
in your philosophy, Mr.
Vale.
360
00:18:44,873 --> 00:18:47,043
Sure. Okay.
361
00:18:48,418 --> 00:18:49,876
So what happened?
362
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,168
Forget to bring
your hair with you
363
00:18:51,251 --> 00:18:53,710
when you came back
from the dead?
364
00:18:53,793 --> 00:18:56,251
[chuckles]
That's funny.
365
00:18:56,335 --> 00:18:58,626
- Mm-hmm.
- That's very funny.
366
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:01,335
But unfortunately, Mr. Vale
367
00:19:01,418 --> 00:19:04,710
you are not in a
position
to be funny.
368
00:19:06,876 --> 00:19:08,293
[groans]
369
00:19:08,376 --> 00:19:11,460
And you're in no position
to put your hands on me
370
00:19:11,543 --> 00:19:13,335
Mr. Luthor.
371
00:19:13,418 --> 00:19:15,335
[groaning]
372
00:19:21,710 --> 00:19:23,751
Robotic.
373
00:19:23,835 --> 00:19:24,793
I had to replace the one
374
00:19:24,876 --> 00:19:27,251
my thimble-brained cyborg
crushed.
375
00:19:27,335 --> 00:19:30,043
A cyborg
which was powered by Kryptonite
376
00:19:30,873 --> 00:19:33,626
which was stolen from
LexLabs
by your brother.
377
00:19:33,710 --> 00:19:35,251
I want it back.
378
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,460
Um, what my
client
is saying is--
379
00:19:41,543 --> 00:19:43,335
(Rollie)
I know what he's saying.
380
00:19:43,418 --> 00:19:47,668
Unless you got something I
want,
skinhead, this meeting's over.
381
00:19:51,751 --> 00:19:53,751
Well, what is it you want?
382
00:19:57,585 --> 00:20:00,835
A half a million dollars
and my freedom.
383
00:20:04,835 --> 00:20:08,251
Money and your freedom
for the Kryptonite.
384
00:20:08,335 --> 00:20:09,876
Do we have a deal?
385
00:20:17,293 --> 00:20:19,460
[dramatic music]
386
00:20:20,918 --> 00:20:22,960
Sure. We have a deal.
387
00:20:23,043 --> 00:20:24,418
[knocking on door]
388
00:20:24,501 --> 00:20:25,876
And you know where to find me.
389
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,376
[door buzzing]
390
00:20:30,751 --> 00:20:32,710
[indistinct chatter]
391
00:20:32,793 --> 00:20:36,501
Lex, whatever you're
planning,
I shouldn't hear about it.
392
00:20:36,585 --> 00:20:39,793
Hear about it?
You're going to be part of it.
393
00:20:39,876 --> 00:20:43,960
We'll require a little
diversion
to get the equipment we need.
394
00:20:44,043 --> 00:20:47,168
And I know
the perfect sacrificial lamb.
395
00:20:47,251 --> 00:20:50,168
[dramatic music]
396
00:20:54,460 --> 00:20:56,876
Chief, I'm making a donut run.
You need anything?
397
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,835
Oh, oh, no, thanks, Jimmy,
but, uh, appreciate you
asking.
398
00:21:02,918 --> 00:21:06,418
Whoa! Somebody's been messing
with my chair.
399
00:21:06,501 --> 00:21:08,793
[beeping]
400
00:21:08,876 --> 00:21:10,293
What's this?
401
00:21:13,210 --> 00:21:14,210
Uh-oh.
402
00:21:15,210 --> 00:21:17,585
Jimmy!
403
00:21:18,835 --> 00:21:19,960
Yeah, chief.
404
00:21:20,043 --> 00:21:21,626
I do need something.
405
00:21:21,710 --> 00:21:22,960
What's that?
406
00:21:24,210 --> 00:21:25,585
Help.
407
00:21:25,668 --> 00:21:28,668
[indistinct chatter]
408
00:21:42,168 --> 00:21:43,251
Hi.
409
00:21:46,543 --> 00:21:47,585
Hi.
410
00:21:49,835 --> 00:21:53,626
Oh, God. This is exactly
why we shouldn't go out.
411
00:21:53,710 --> 00:21:55,335
- All I said was hi.
- Yes, I know.
412
00:21:55,418 --> 00:21:56,793
And a dozen thoughts
went through my mind.
413
00:21:56,876 --> 00:21:58,960
You know, how's my makeup?
Do I smell good?
414
00:21:59,043 --> 00:22:00,376
Do I have coffee breath?
415
00:22:00,460 --> 00:22:01,918
See, and all that
was just with you saying hi.
416
00:22:02,001 --> 00:22:03,793
What's gonna happen
when you start saying words
417
00:22:03,876 --> 00:22:05,376
with more than one syllable?
418
00:22:05,460 --> 00:22:07,418
What did they put in your
coffee
this morning?
419
00:22:07,501 --> 00:22:10,251
Clark, I'm just,
I'm just trying to say
420
00:22:10,335 --> 00:22:13,210
that I'm afraid
things will change
421
00:22:13,293 --> 00:22:15,793
if we start going out.
422
00:22:15,876 --> 00:22:18,210
Well, if it makes you
feel
any better, Lois..
423
00:22:19,251 --> 00:22:21,873
...I'm afraid, too.
424
00:22:21,210 --> 00:22:24,668
Oh! Oh, I'm so glad
that you said that.
425
00:22:24,751 --> 00:22:26,876
[chuckles]
Thank you.
426
00:22:28,710 --> 00:22:30,668
Excuse me, I'd like a..
427
00:22:30,751 --> 00:22:34,001
Oh, so, uh, did you, did you
go to the shelter this
morning?
428
00:22:34,463 --> 00:22:35,626
Yeah, uh,
Ramin's still a
no-show
429
00:22:35,710 --> 00:22:37,460
but the director said
he'd call us if he comes
in.
430
00:22:37,543 --> 00:22:39,463
- Hm.
- Alright, ladies and
gentlemen.
431
00:22:39,168 --> 00:22:40,418
We got an emergency
in the building!
432
00:22:40,501 --> 00:22:42,460
I need everyone outside!
433
00:22:42,543 --> 00:22:44,873
- What is it?
- Just step outside.
434
00:22:44,210 --> 00:22:45,626
- Little lady.
- Well, no, I-I..
435
00:22:45,710 --> 00:22:47,001
What's hap.. What's happening?
436
00:22:47,463 --> 00:22:49,668
'Clark? Clark? Where's Clark?'
437
00:22:49,751 --> 00:22:51,293
Is it real?
438
00:22:51,376 --> 00:22:52,501
Oh, yeah.
439
00:22:52,585 --> 00:22:54,668
Yeah, it's a real pressure bomb
440
00:22:54,751 --> 00:22:57,585
crudely made, but real.
441
00:22:57,668 --> 00:23:00,626
When you sat down,
you engaged the
detonator.
442
00:23:00,710 --> 00:23:04,376
So if you get the urge to
stand up and do a jig, fight
it.
443
00:23:04,460 --> 00:23:07,043
Yeah.
Uh, uh, can you disarm it?
444
00:23:07,873 --> 00:23:11,793
I think so, if I can just
figure out which wire to
cut.
445
00:23:11,876 --> 00:23:13,001
[sighs]
446
00:23:13,463 --> 00:23:14,043
[whistles]
447
00:23:16,001 --> 00:23:18,251
- Superman!
- Do you need any help?
448
00:23:18,335 --> 00:23:20,460
Nope. Found what I needed.
449
00:23:23,293 --> 00:23:25,335
- Oh, no!
- Oh, no?
450
00:23:25,418 --> 00:23:27,460
I underestimated the guy.
451
00:23:27,543 --> 00:23:29,293
'Built in
a backup firing mechanism.'
452
00:23:29,376 --> 00:23:30,501
Whoa! what does that mean?
453
00:23:30,585 --> 00:23:31,835
It means we got
less
than a minute
454
00:23:31,918 --> 00:23:34,918
to clear
this whole building out! Oh..
455
00:23:35,001 --> 00:23:37,501
Officer, clear a path
to that window?
456
00:23:37,585 --> 00:23:39,463
'Mr. White, just hang on.'
457
00:23:39,168 --> 00:23:41,710
[indistinct chatter]
458
00:23:41,793 --> 00:23:44,626
[instrumental music]
459
00:23:45,460 --> 00:23:47,001
Nice view from here!
460
00:23:47,463 --> 00:23:50,463
I just wish I was
in a better mood to enjoy
it!
461
00:23:51,001 --> 00:23:52,793
[beeping]
462
00:23:54,043 --> 00:23:55,710
I'd hoped to set you down
someplace deserted
463
00:23:55,793 --> 00:23:57,710
but I don't think
we're gonna make it.
464
00:23:57,793 --> 00:24:00,210
So thanks for flying with me,
Mr. White.
465
00:24:00,293 --> 00:24:03,463
Huh? Jesus Christ!
466
00:24:03,168 --> 00:24:06,876
Great Caesar's ghost!
467
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,918
[screaming]
468
00:24:12,626 --> 00:24:13,751
Oh..
469
00:24:13,835 --> 00:24:18,876
Now, that's what
I call turbulence.
Oh..
470
00:24:20,793 --> 00:24:23,251
Oh, some yahoo probably read
something in the "Planet"
471
00:24:23,335 --> 00:24:24,543
he didn't like.
472
00:24:24,626 --> 00:24:26,543
You know, it's the risk
every editor takes.
473
00:24:26,626 --> 00:24:28,710
(Lois)
'Perry, I think
it's awfully coincidental'
474
00:24:28,793 --> 00:24:30,876
'that Nigel St. John,
a former spy'
475
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,376
comes into town,
and suddenly this happens.
476
00:24:33,460 --> 00:24:37,043
Lois, stop being paranoid.
477
00:24:37,873 --> 00:24:40,626
Guess who suddenly reappeared?
Sheldon Bender.
478
00:24:40,710 --> 00:24:42,418
(Clark)
'He's claiming the kidnapping
was just a prank'
479
00:24:42,501 --> 00:24:43,960
by some old fraternity brothers.
480
00:24:44,043 --> 00:24:46,463
Chief, my instinct
says
that all this stuff
481
00:24:46,168 --> 00:24:48,001
with Bender and the bomb
is connected
482
00:24:48,463 --> 00:24:49,876
'to Nigel and Gretchen Kelly.'
483
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,335
Well, what are you two
standing there for, then?
484
00:24:52,418 --> 00:24:54,463
Hey, guys, guess what?
485
00:24:54,168 --> 00:24:55,751
The bomb squad's headquarters
was robbed
486
00:24:55,835 --> 00:24:57,376
while they were
defusing you, chief.
487
00:24:57,460 --> 00:24:59,501
'They got away
with some plastic explosives'
488
00:24:59,585 --> 00:25:01,585
and some remote-control
triggering mechanism.
489
00:25:01,668 --> 00:25:03,168
Now, wait a minute,
are you telling me
490
00:25:03,251 --> 00:25:06,960
that I was just some kind
of diversionary tactic?
491
00:25:08,376 --> 00:25:10,873
It kinda cheapens it somehow,
doesn't it?
492
00:25:10,210 --> 00:25:12,168
- Cheapens it?
- You take Bender.
493
00:25:12,251 --> 00:25:14,710
- I'll take the bomb squad.
- You take the bomb squad.
494
00:25:21,626 --> 00:25:23,460
[chuckles]
You know,
I think that's the first
time
495
00:25:23,543 --> 00:25:25,418
I've ever heard them agree
on anything.
496
00:25:25,501 --> 00:25:28,960
Yeah, well, a budding romance
will do that for ya.
497
00:25:32,210 --> 00:25:33,960
How did you know that?
498
00:25:34,043 --> 00:25:38,210
Jimmy, I did not become
editor of a major newspaper
499
00:25:38,293 --> 00:25:39,835
because I can yodel.
500
00:25:44,210 --> 00:25:47,463
- Huh!
- Oh, excuse me, um..
501
00:25:48,210 --> 00:25:50,335
Well, well, Lois Lane.
502
00:25:50,418 --> 00:25:52,626
[chuckles]
Well, imagine my good
luck
503
00:25:52,710 --> 00:25:55,251
running into you
two days in a
row.
504
00:25:56,626 --> 00:25:59,793
You know,
I have something for
you.
505
00:26:00,710 --> 00:26:04,210
Information about Lex Luthor
506
00:26:04,293 --> 00:26:07,460
and the woman
who stole his
body.
507
00:26:10,585 --> 00:26:11,835
Who are you?
508
00:26:11,918 --> 00:26:15,043
Uh, do you know the
story
of the phoenix?
509
00:26:15,873 --> 00:26:18,751
Yes, the sacred bird reborn
510
00:26:18,835 --> 00:26:21,543
rising from its own ashes.
511
00:26:21,626 --> 00:26:23,001
That's right.
512
00:26:24,418 --> 00:26:27,418
When I was a little boy..
513
00:26:28,460 --> 00:26:30,626
...my mother told me that story.
514
00:26:34,043 --> 00:26:35,585
And I..
515
00:26:38,876 --> 00:26:41,418
...I always liked the part
516
00:26:41,501 --> 00:26:42,918
where he..
517
00:26:58,293 --> 00:27:00,501
...came back from the dead.
518
00:27:03,001 --> 00:27:05,043
It's good to see you again,
Lois.
519
00:27:05,873 --> 00:27:07,626
'Did you think
I wouldn't come back for you?'
520
00:27:08,668 --> 00:27:10,251
Yes. Look at me.
521
00:27:10,335 --> 00:27:15,210
I've lost everything,
my fortune, my reputation
522
00:27:15,293 --> 00:27:18,418
everything
but my feeling for you.
523
00:27:18,501 --> 00:27:22,876
We must take the miracle
of my resurrection as a

can't keep us apart.

- No.

Don't question a

we're together again.

That's all that matters.

00:27:34,710 --> 00:27:37,585
What? No! No, I could never..
530
00:27:37,668 --> 00:27:39,251
Well, I've fallen from
grace,
haven't I?

532

But surely a creature
of such abundant benevolence
533
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,918
would allow me the
chance
to redeem myself.
534
00:27:47,001 --> 00:27:50,335
I, I don't have
those feelings for you
anymore.

...after everything you've done?

[scoffs]
Well, yes, I did terrible
things
539
00:28:00,335 --> 00:28:02,293
but I did them for you.
540
00:28:02,376 --> 00:28:05,501
I was provoked by the
blinding
light of your beauty.
541
00:28:06,501 --> 00:28:09,873
But if you can't forgive me
542
00:28:09,210 --> 00:28:10,585
then, here.
543
00:28:12,001 --> 00:28:13,376

No.

I just feel
maybe you've suffered enough.

wanted?
I mean, besides you.

Bender's your only solid lead

to finding Luthor.
552
00:28:52,501 --> 00:28:54,960
Yeah, and he's in seclusion
on his yacht.
553
00:28:55,043 --> 00:28:57,418
Supposedly,
he needs a break from the
press.
554
00:28:57,501 --> 00:29:00,585
Well, he's not gonna get it,
I want you two on him

Yes, sir, right now,
you can set up shop

got something better to do?

Well, maybe we can just pretend
this is our first date

to be our first date.

a total loss. I mean..

worry a lot about my answer.

effort
to be for nothing.

we're on a regular assignment

00:36:49,626 --> 00:36:52,210
[groaning]
699
00:37:01,251 --> 00:37:02,668
[exhales sharply]
700
00:37:02,751 --> 00:37:05,960
I've always admired
Nigel's creativity.
701
00:37:07,463 --> 00:37:09,293
[seagulls squawking]
702
00:37:16,293 --> 00:37:17,501
[indistinct chatter]
703
00:37:17,585 --> 00:37:19,585
Sure. I'll just wait right
here
for his call.
704
00:37:22,043 --> 00:37:23,418
Judge Winkler's clerk.
705
00:37:23,501 --> 00:37:26,210
The judge is temporarily
unavailable for comment.
706
00:37:26,293 --> 00:37:28,873
Big surprise.
707
00:37:28,210 --> 00:37:31,043
Why would Bender want
Rollie Vale transferred
downtown
708
00:37:31,873 --> 00:37:33,668
for a new hearing?
What's in it for Lex?
709
00:37:33,751 --> 00:37:36,335
Whatever it is, it's big
enough
to cost Bender his life.
710
00:37:36,418 --> 00:37:38,543
Hey, C.K.,
thanks for the tickets.
711
00:37:38,626 --> 00:37:40,835
Pearl Jam was incredible!
712
00:37:40,918 --> 00:37:43,751
- What happened to your eye?
- Oh, brutal, huh?
713
00:37:43,835 --> 00:37:46,418
Angela and I
went through the mosh pit
twice.
714
00:37:46,501 --> 00:37:48,376
- Mosh pit?
- 'Oh, oh, um..'
715
00:37:48,460 --> 00:37:50,585
That, the director from
the homeless shelter called.
716
00:37:50,668 --> 00:37:52,501
That guy, uh, Ramin
717
00:37:52,585 --> 00:37:54,876
uh, he's down there
eating breakfast right now.
718
00:37:59,335 --> 00:38:01,043
[car honking]
719
00:38:01,873 --> 00:38:02,501

[siren blaring]
721
00:38:06,335 --> 00:38:08,251
Clark, there he is.
722
00:38:17,668 --> 00:38:20,001
[creaking]
723
00:38:20,463 --> 00:38:22,418

725
00:38:29,335 --> 00:38:31,418
[creaking]
726
00:38:32,918 --> 00:38:34,001
After you.
727
00:38:34,463 --> 00:38:37,043
[rats squeaking]
728
00:38:41,626 --> 00:38:44,668
It's a long fall
from a penthouse in the sky.
729
00:38:46,210 --> 00:38:47,585
What's that noise?
730
00:38:47,668 --> 00:38:50,626
[rats squeaking]
731
00:38:54,501 --> 00:38:56,626
(Lois)
'Oh, I hate rats.'
732
00:39:09,001 --> 00:39:10,001
Clark.
733
00:39:14,543 --> 00:39:17,335
It starts here
at the Metropolis men's prison
734
00:39:17,418 --> 00:39:19,293
ends at the courthouse.
735
00:39:19,376 --> 00:39:20,501
It must be the
route
they're gonna use
736
00:39:20,585 --> 00:39:22,501
to transfer Rollie Vale.
737
00:39:22,585 --> 00:39:24,751
Luthor's gonna break Vale
out of prison!
738
00:39:24,835 --> 00:39:25,835
Let's go.
739
00:39:27,668 --> 00:39:28,751
[creaking]
740
00:39:28,835 --> 00:39:29,835
[sighs]
741
00:39:31,460 --> 00:39:33,668
You go get the jeep.
I'm gonna call the police.
742
00:39:36,835 --> 00:39:37,835
[groans]
743
00:39:39,335 --> 00:39:40,418
[gasps]
744
00:39:41,418 --> 00:39:43,626
Lex wanted me to find you.
745
00:39:43,710 --> 00:39:45,543
Thanks for making it so easy.
746
00:39:48,751 --> 00:39:51,710
[engine revving]
747
00:39:53,668 --> 00:39:56,626
Steady. Not too soon.
748
00:39:58,460 --> 00:39:59,418
Now!
749
00:39:59,501 --> 00:40:00,835
[explosion]
750
00:40:00,918 --> 00:40:02,168
[screaming]
751
00:40:02,251 --> 00:40:04,710
[tires screeching]
752
00:40:05,418 --> 00:40:06,501
Ah!
753
00:40:09,793 --> 00:40:12,751
[clamoring]
754
00:40:15,251 --> 00:40:16,501
[tires screeching]
755
00:40:16,585 --> 00:40:18,463
Hey.
756
00:40:18,168 --> 00:40:19,751
[groans]
757
00:40:19,835 --> 00:40:21,543
- Looks like he needed a
rest.
- Yes.
758
00:40:21,626 --> 00:40:24,210
He'll have an awful headache
tomorrow morning.
759
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,418
Now, tell me, Mr. Vale
760
00:40:28,501 --> 00:40:30,001
is the air sweeter
when it's free?
761
00:40:30,463 --> 00:40:32,835
Yeah, it's great.
Now get me out of here.
762
00:40:35,793 --> 00:40:38,251
[dramatic music]
763
00:40:39,751 --> 00:40:42,460
[groaning]
764
00:40:42,543 --> 00:40:45,501
[fire crackling]
765
00:40:47,543 --> 00:40:49,293
[man groaning]
766
00:40:49,376 --> 00:40:52,335

768
00:40:58,873 --> 00:41:00,543
[groaning]
769
00:41:00,626 --> 00:41:02,918
- I better get you to a
doctor.
- It's alright.
770
00:41:04,210 --> 00:41:06,001
Don't you realize Lex is insane?
771
00:41:06,463 --> 00:41:08,418
(Gretchen)
If anyone's insane, you are.
772
00:41:08,501 --> 00:41:11,463
You could have married
the greatest man in Metropolis
773
00:41:11,168 --> 00:41:14,873
but instead,
you turned your back on him.
774
00:41:14,210 --> 00:41:16,876
He's a psychopathic criminal.
He could kill any of us.
775
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,335
He never hurt me.
776
00:41:18,418 --> 00:41:22,460
I gave him life,
but you drove him to his
death.
777
00:41:22,543 --> 00:41:23,793
(Lex)
Lois.
778
00:41:24,876 --> 00:41:27,463
When will you ever learn
779
00:41:27,168 --> 00:41:29,751
I always get my way?
780
00:41:29,835 --> 00:41:31,835
Lex, please,
before you make things worse--
781
00:41:31,918 --> 00:41:34,168
I've already been through
the worst.
782
00:41:35,376 --> 00:41:36,501
Alright, Vale.
783
00:41:36,585 --> 00:41:38,501
Where did you hide
the Kryptonite?
784
00:41:40,418 --> 00:41:42,793
It's been right here all along.
785
00:41:53,376 --> 00:41:54,793
My Excalibur.
786
00:41:54,876 --> 00:41:56,960
What are you gonna do with that?
787
00:41:59,668 --> 00:42:02,293
I'm going to kill Superman
when he comes to rescue you
788
00:42:02,376 --> 00:42:04,835
and then there'll be no one
to take you away from me.
789
00:42:06,210 --> 00:42:09,335
Nigel,
keep this in a safe place.
790
00:42:11,585 --> 00:42:13,793
Now, where's my money?
791
00:42:13,876 --> 00:42:17,960
- Oh, yes. Nigel, pay the man.
- Hey, what's this?
792
00:42:18,043 --> 00:42:20,043
It's called
an old-fashioned double-cross.
793
00:42:20,626 --> 00:42:22,376
Exactly.
794
00:42:22,460 --> 00:42:24,543
Won't you join me, Ramin?
795
00:42:27,876 --> 00:42:30,873
Et tu, Nigel?
796
00:42:30,210 --> 00:42:31,418
Nigel, what are you doing?
797
00:42:31,501 --> 00:42:33,960
You've had your day, Lex.
798
00:42:34,043 --> 00:42:36,626
Now it's Intergang
with the deep
pockets.
799
00:42:36,710 --> 00:42:37,918
But we're a team!
800
00:42:38,001 --> 00:42:39,168
When the lead wolf is weakened
801
00:42:39,251 --> 00:42:40,710
'the pack quickly turns.'
802
00:42:40,793 --> 00:42:43,001
If the deal
was my freedom and the money--
803
00:42:43,463 --> 00:42:44,335
[grunting]
804
00:42:44,418 --> 00:42:45,501
Ow!
805
00:42:45,585 --> 00:42:47,793
- Lex!
- 'Oh, ah..'
806
00:42:47,876 --> 00:42:50,168
(Gretchen)
'Lex!'
807
00:42:50,251 --> 00:42:51,960
- Let's go, Ramin.
- Is he alright?
808
00:42:52,043 --> 00:42:53,751
- I'll take care of him!
- It's alright, my love.
809
00:42:53,835 --> 00:42:55,960
It's just a minor setback.
810
00:42:57,418 --> 00:42:59,001
- You stay away!
- Ooh..
811
00:42:59,463 --> 00:43:01,001
- Oh!
- Oh, God.. Ow!
812
00:43:01,463 --> 00:43:02,626
- 'Lois!'
- Lex, Lex!
813
00:43:02,710 --> 00:43:04,463
- She doesn't love you!
- Lois, give me your hand.
814
00:43:04,168 --> 00:43:05,793
- She never loved you!
- 'Give me your hands!'
815
00:43:05,876 --> 00:43:08,463
(Gretchen)
'I sacrificed everything
to bring you back!'
816
00:43:08,168 --> 00:43:09,460
(Lex)
'Wait!'
817
00:43:09,543 --> 00:43:11,960
- I love you!
- Oh! I'll kill you!
818
00:43:12,043 --> 00:43:13,626
- Ah!
- 'Ah! Ah..'
819
00:43:13,710 --> 00:43:16,376
[electricity crackling]

[laughs]
824
00:43:39,710 --> 00:43:42,210
Maybe you'd like to let me in
on the joke.
825
00:43:42,293 --> 00:43:44,376
Me, I'm the joke.
826
00:43:44,460 --> 00:43:45,876
Twice I've had the chance
to kill you
827
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,293
twice the game
has gone your way.
828
00:43:48,376 --> 00:43:52,168
- The game is over, Luthor.
- No.
829
00:43:52,251 --> 00:43:53,335
I'll not give you
the satisfaction
830
00:43:53,418 --> 00:43:55,873
of taking me alive.
831
00:43:58,043 --> 00:43:59,585
[crackling]
832
00:44:04,418 --> 00:44:08,543
(Superman)
'Sorry, Luthor, but killing
yourself is the easy way
out.'
833
00:44:10,668 --> 00:44:13,873
You can't cheat justice twice.
834
00:44:14,001 --> 00:44:15,626
Don't look so smug.
835
00:44:17,835 --> 00:44:19,460
Tell him, Lois.
836
00:44:19,543 --> 00:44:21,793
'Tell him
that once you really loved
me.'
837
00:44:29,335 --> 00:44:30,668
[sighs]
838
00:44:33,751 --> 00:44:36,668
Well, I thought
I'd never see this day. Ha!
839
00:44:36,751 --> 00:44:38,376
You think there's hope
for Elvis?
840
00:44:38,460 --> 00:44:41,460
[laughing]
841
00:44:41,543 --> 00:44:42,918
Nice job, you two.
842
00:44:43,001 --> 00:44:44,251
Now, I know
I've said this before
843
00:44:44,335 --> 00:44:45,626
but this time it's an order.
844
00:44:45,710 --> 00:44:48,251
I want both of you
to take some time off.
845
00:44:48,335 --> 00:44:50,251
Well, you don't have
to tell me twice.
846
00:44:50,335 --> 00:44:51,960
Um, Clark, I'll call you
in a couple of days
847
00:44:52,043 --> 00:44:54,873
about that, uh, thing
that we have to reschedule.
848
00:44:54,210 --> 00:44:55,793
Yeah, whenever.
That sounds great.
849
00:44:55,876 --> 00:44:57,626
(Perry)
'You know, you two don't
have to talk in code.'
850
00:44:57,710 --> 00:44:59,460
You're not fooling anybody.
851
00:44:59,543 --> 00:45:01,960
Planning on making a date,
just say so.
852
00:45:02,043 --> 00:45:05,293
How did you..
Jimmy?
853
00:45:05,376 --> 00:45:07,418
Hey, hey, I didn't say a
word,
honestly.
854
00:45:07,501 --> 00:45:11,001
Look, he did not become editor
'cause he knows how to yodel.
855
00:45:11,463 --> 00:45:13,873
[laughs]
856
00:45:13,210 --> 00:45:15,873
Oh, by the by,
you owe Butch Kennebrew
857
00:45:15,210 --> 00:45:18,501
a bottle of champagne
and a new lampshade.
