00:00:09,543 --> 00:00:11,460
Lois, I'm home.
3
00:00:14,251 --> 00:00:16,168
I had a train
derailment
in Canada
4
00:00:16,251 --> 00:00:19,293
an orphanage fire in
London
and a dam broke in India.
5
00:00:19,376 --> 00:00:20,751
Did you make something
for dinner?
6
00:00:20,835 --> 00:00:22,251
[both grunting]
7
00:00:22,335 --> 00:00:24,793
Oh, my gosh!
What happened?
8
00:00:26,293 --> 00:00:28,501
- Lex Luthor.
- The rat.
9
00:00:28,585 --> 00:00:29,710
Where's Lois?
10
00:00:29,793 --> 00:00:30,876
She was here
just a second ago.
11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,001
Probably scared witless,
poor thing.
12
00:00:33,463 --> 00:00:35,960
Don't worry, I'll have you
out of that thing in no
time.
13
00:00:37,043 --> 00:00:40,043
[instrumental music]
14
00:00:43,335 --> 00:00:45,001
Okay, let's see now.
15
00:00:45,463 --> 00:00:48,463
Do I disconnect the black
wire
or the white one?
16
00:00:48,168 --> 00:00:50,460
(Lois)
'Don't worry, I'll save
you.'
17
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,251
What do you think?
18
00:00:54,543 --> 00:00:55,960
- Oh, no.
- Oh, no.
19
00:00:56,043 --> 00:00:57,043
Shh!
20
00:00:57,873 --> 00:00:58,835
[laughing]
21
00:01:00,710 --> 00:01:02,873
What do I think?
22
00:01:03,501 --> 00:01:06,168
Lois, I think
you got some explaining to do.
23
00:01:06,251 --> 00:01:08,001
Clarkey, if
we're gonna be partners
24
00:01:08,463 --> 00:01:10,293
and we're gonna be married,
I wanna be part of the act.
25
00:01:10,376 --> 00:01:13,835
Lois, there are things I
do,
you can't do.
26
00:01:13,918 --> 00:01:16,835
- Me Superman.
- Me Superwife.
27
00:01:16,918 --> 00:01:18,335
Us super in trouble.
28
00:01:18,418 --> 00:01:19,543
Could you hold this argument
till later
29
00:01:19,626 --> 00:01:21,873
and get us out of here?
30
00:01:21,210 --> 00:01:22,793
- I knew this was gonna happen.
- I knew this was gonna happen.
31
00:01:22,876 --> 00:01:25,251
I know I can't fly
and I can't stop bullets..

Eeh!
36
00:01:33,873 --> 00:01:36,001
Ay, caramba!
You exploded them.
37
00:01:36,463 --> 00:01:40,463
Oh, Clarkey. Well, I-I can
explain why they exploded..
38
00:01:40,168 --> 00:01:41,418

39
00:01:41,501 --> 00:01:43,876

00:01:46,793 --> 00:01:49,751
- Hola!
- Clark, are you okay?
42
00:01:49,835 --> 00:01:52,376
Yeah, I'm just
dreaming,
I think. What's up?
43
00:01:53,710 --> 00:01:55,293
Well, I got a nightmare
for ya.
44
00:01:55,376 --> 00:01:58,210
- Remember Bad Brain Johnson?
- How could I forget?
45
00:01:58,293 --> 00:01:59,793
Remember his vendetta?
46
00:01:59,876 --> 00:02:02,001
Against two reporters
and a certain Man of
Steel
47
00:02:02,463 --> 00:02:03,876
who tracked him down
and put him away?
48
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,210
- That's the one.
- He's in prison.
49
00:02:06,293 --> 00:02:08,460
- Nope.
- When did he break out?
50
00:02:08,543 --> 00:02:09,710
Two hours ago.
51
00:02:09,793 --> 00:02:11,210
Perry just called,
he thought we ought to know.
52
00:02:11,293 --> 00:02:12,876
I'm on my way.
53
00:02:16,463 --> 00:02:17,210
Hola?
54
00:02:18,876 --> 00:02:21,835
[theme music]

[music continues]
56
00:03:21,918 --> 00:03:24,793
- Here we are. Safe and sound.
- Oh. Oh, it's so wonderful.
57
00:03:24,876 --> 00:03:26,960
Tim, my pet,
could you get the
door?
58
00:03:27,043 --> 00:03:29,251
Of course, light of my light.
59
00:03:32,293 --> 00:03:33,876
Go ahead
and make yourself comfy.
60
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,251
Get out of this outfit.
61
00:03:36,335 --> 00:03:38,376
Can I get you
something
to drink, Bad Brain?
62
00:03:38,460 --> 00:03:40,376
First, I want some answers.
63
00:03:40,460 --> 00:03:42,168
Who are you?
64
00:03:42,251 --> 00:03:43,543
Why'd you bust me out?
65
00:03:45,793 --> 00:03:47,835
Talk or I'll kill you
66
00:03:47,918 --> 00:03:49,168
call a cab
and motor my butt down
67
00:03:49,251 --> 00:03:52,501
to Funkytown
for a little R and R.
68
00:03:52,585 --> 00:03:53,751
This way.
69
00:03:56,293 --> 00:03:57,418
Please?
70
00:03:57,501 --> 00:03:59,668
[dramatic music]
71
00:03:59,751 --> 00:04:02,335
The reason for your
liberation,
Mr. Johnson
72
00:04:02,418 --> 00:04:05,168
is Amber and I believe that
you might possess something
73
00:04:05,251 --> 00:04:07,001
that we hope
to find very
useful.
74
00:04:07,463 --> 00:04:10,710
- Yeah, what's that?
- A thirst for vengeance.
75
00:04:11,918 --> 00:04:13,460
We wouldn't be discussing, uh
76
00:04:13,543 --> 00:04:16,501
Klutz Kent, Nosy Lane and
Super Duper, now, would we?
77
00:04:16,585 --> 00:04:18,873
- Yes.
- We would.
78
00:04:18,210 --> 00:04:19,626
As to who we are,
well, did you happen
79
00:04:19,710 --> 00:04:21,460
to catch the articles
written in "Forbes"
80
00:04:21,543 --> 00:04:24,463
"Vanity Fair" and "Esquire"
while you were in prison?
81
00:04:24,168 --> 00:04:25,710
Uh, actually, I'm more of a

Slaughterhouse Digest
83
00:04:27,876 --> 00:04:29,210
kind of a guy.
84
00:04:29,293 --> 00:04:30,543
We're rich people, Bad Brain.
85
00:04:30,626 --> 00:04:33,463
Rich people, with a hobby.
86
00:04:33,168 --> 00:04:37,251
We collect things. Rare,
unusual, one-of-a-kind
things.
87
00:04:37,335 --> 00:04:39,210
And aside from each other..
88
00:04:39,293 --> 00:04:41,710
Possession is our passion.
89
00:04:41,793 --> 00:04:44,043
[laughing]
90
00:04:44,873 --> 00:04:46,876
- This block of cement.
- Jimmy Hoffa!
91
00:04:48,876 --> 00:04:53,585
And here, the arms of
the Venus de Milo.
92
00:04:53,668 --> 00:04:55,418
This car, of
course,
one-of-a-kind.
93
00:04:55,501 --> 00:04:57,918
[chuckles]
We're just batty about it.
94
00:04:58,001 --> 00:04:59,585
[laughing]
95
00:04:59,668 --> 00:05:02,668
On the right, the original
draft of the Magna Carta.
96
00:05:04,043 --> 00:05:05,501
It's a room full of treasures.
97
00:05:05,585 --> 00:05:08,460
No one knows they're
here.
They're just for us.
98
00:05:08,543 --> 00:05:09,835
And now we'd like to add
99
00:05:09,918 --> 00:05:11,418
something else
to our collection.
100
00:05:11,501 --> 00:05:14,168
But Kent, Lane and Superman
stand in the way.
101
00:05:15,835 --> 00:05:19,210
And you want me to do
your dirty work for you.
102
00:05:20,463 --> 00:05:21,463
- Yes.
- Yes.
103
00:05:21,168 --> 00:05:23,418
I love dirty work.
104
00:05:23,501 --> 00:05:24,835
Hey, what's that?
105
00:05:25,793 --> 00:05:27,501
[intense music]
106
00:05:29,463 --> 00:05:31,335

Hey, that's my stuff.
108

[laughing]
109
00:05:38,418 --> 00:05:41,210
That's right, B.B., the
fantastic electronic
gadgets.
110
00:05:41,293 --> 00:05:43,585
You made famous in
your crime career.
111
00:05:43,668 --> 00:05:48,168
Hey, how'd you find my secret
lair, huh? It's secret.
112
00:05:48,251 --> 00:05:50,293
We queried
a few of your
cronies.
113
00:05:50,376 --> 00:05:53,501
Blabbermouths.
I'll kill them.
114
00:05:53,585 --> 00:05:55,873
Oh, don't worry about that.
115
00:05:55,210 --> 00:05:57,668
[laughing]
116
00:05:57,751 --> 00:05:59,460
Did we do well?
117
00:05:59,543 --> 00:06:04,543
Ah, the electro-whammy.
118
00:06:04,626 --> 00:06:08,460
Did you know that the human body
is an electro-chemical engine
119
00:06:08,543 --> 00:06:11,585
and if you amplify its
current,
resonate it and kick it over
120
00:06:11,668 --> 00:06:13,876
a little household AC, zap!
121
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,585
[exhales]
Ashes to ashes.
122
00:06:16,668 --> 00:06:19,168
How about a demonstration?
123
00:06:19,251 --> 00:06:22,710
Um, well, we would need
a guinea pig.
124
00:06:24,463 --> 00:06:26,251
I believe we've got one.
125
00:06:26,335 --> 00:06:28,543

128
00:06:38,668 --> 00:06:41,418
- Phase one.
- Complete.
129
00:06:48,668 --> 00:06:50,626
[clears throat]
130
00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:53,873
Perry White?
131
00:06:53,210 --> 00:06:55,918
Oh, thank God, they finally
arrived. Here, Jimmy.
132
00:06:56,001 --> 00:06:58,043
Ah, thank you, officer.
133
00:07:00,626 --> 00:07:02,960
Oh, I am not wearing
a bulletproof vest.
134
00:07:03,043 --> 00:07:04,835
I want you protected.
135
00:07:04,918 --> 00:07:06,293
Uh, chief, I don't think
Superman's gonna let
136
00:07:06,376 --> 00:07:07,585
anything happen to us.
137
00:07:07,668 --> 00:07:10,460
I don't see him here
now.
Do you?
138
00:07:12,210 --> 00:07:15,668
See?
Exactly.
Wear 'em.
139
00:07:15,751 --> 00:07:17,876
(Jimmy)
'Maybe you guys can start
a new fashion trend.'
140
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,463
- Jimmy.
- Maybe not.
141
00:07:22,460 --> 00:07:24,543
So, what do you have?
142
00:07:24,626 --> 00:07:26,918
(Jimmy)
'I've had no luck tracking
Bad Brain through his pals.'
143
00:07:27,001 --> 00:07:29,210
His last three accomplishes
are no longer in Metropolis.
144
00:07:29,293 --> 00:07:30,501
What, they left town?
145
00:07:30,585 --> 00:07:32,460
They left this
plane of existence.
146
00:07:32,543 --> 00:07:34,460
'All three were murdered one
week ago, tortured to death.'
147
00:07:34,543 --> 00:07:37,710
- No clues, no suspects.
- Why tortured?
148
00:07:37,793 --> 00:07:40,251
Somebody probably wanted
some information.
149
00:07:40,335 --> 00:07:42,873
So, what we're left with
according to the warden
150
00:07:42,210 --> 00:07:43,710
'is two unknown accomplices'
151
00:07:43,793 --> 00:07:47,251
who blasted a well-known
lunatic
out of prison.
152
00:07:47,335 --> 00:07:50,460
Speaking of lunatics,
can I ask you guys a question?
153
00:07:50,543 --> 00:07:53,626
What is up with Perry's taste
in ties lately?
154
00:07:53,710 --> 00:07:56,251
Old gifts from Alice,
they're not getting along
155
00:07:56,335 --> 00:07:59,543
and he thinks wearing the old
ties will smooth things over.
156
00:07:59,626 --> 00:08:01,460
Yeah, well,
his last tie looks like
157
00:08:01,543 --> 00:08:04,043
someone smoothed a clown
over it with a steamroller.
158
00:08:04,873 --> 00:08:05,835
He loves her.
159
00:08:05,918 --> 00:08:09,043
There isn't that much
love in the world.

00:08:09,873 --> 00:08:11,918
(man on speaker)
'211, silent alarm robbery
in progress in Star Labs.'
161
00:08:12,001 --> 00:08:13,501
- What is it?
- Star Labs.
162
00:08:13,585 --> 00:08:15,710
- Something's happening.
- Well, maybe it's Bad Brain.
163
00:08:15,793 --> 00:08:17,001
- Can I go?
- No.
164
00:08:17,463 --> 00:08:18,418
Oh, come on, Clark,
why do we go through this?
165
00:08:18,501 --> 00:08:19,710
We both know I'm gonna go.
166
00:08:19,793 --> 00:08:22,626
- Then why do you ask?
- I'm trying to be nice.

[men coughing]
172
00:08:46,043 --> 00:08:47,376
What happened?
173
00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:49,626
I'm-I'm sorry.
I'm still a little
bit loopy.
174
00:08:49,710 --> 00:08:52,751
- Superman, they took it all.
- 'Took all of what?'
175
00:08:52,835 --> 00:08:54,960
- Was it Bad Brain?
- We didn't see anybody.
176
00:08:55,043 --> 00:08:56,463
Nobody had to.
177
00:08:57,293 --> 00:08:58,626
[sighs]
178
00:08:58,710 --> 00:09:00,210
(Lois)
His calling card.
179
00:09:00,293 --> 00:09:01,626
Did he leave that in
the Kryptonite vault?
180
00:09:01,710 --> 00:09:03,293
- Uh, Dr. Klein--
- The what?
181
00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:05,876
The vault, where we kept
the Kryptonite for
Superman.
182
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,335
Excuse me, you're keeping
Kryptonite here?
183
00:09:08,418 --> 00:09:11,793
And now Bad Brain Johnson
has it. Oh, my head.
184
00:09:11,876 --> 00:09:13,543
(Superman)
'Doctor, can you excuse us
for a second?'
185
00:09:13,626 --> 00:09:14,835
Yeah.
186
00:09:16,710 --> 00:09:18,668
- Why would you have Kryptonite?
- Oh!
187
00:09:18,751 --> 00:09:21,210
Uh, Dr. Klein is working
on a radiation therapy.
188
00:09:21,293 --> 00:09:22,668
It is like a vaccine.
189
00:09:22,751 --> 00:09:24,668
If we can
counteract
its effects then
190
00:09:24,751 --> 00:09:26,376
it won't be a
problem
any longer.
191
00:09:26,460 --> 00:09:29,335
- If he finds a vaccine?
Clark!
- Superman.
192
00:09:29,418 --> 00:09:31,418
Why would you let that stuff
anywhere near you?
193
00:09:31,501 --> 00:09:33,873
You know, get rid of it.
Throw it into the sun.
194
00:09:33,210 --> 00:09:35,168
Of course, now, you can't
throw it into the sun
195
00:09:35,251 --> 00:09:37,001
because Bad Brain Johnson,
has stolen it.
196
00:09:37,463 --> 00:09:39,418
He could have it pointed
at your thick skull right now.
197
00:09:39,501 --> 00:09:41,501
- Uh, okay, you're angry.
- Yes.
198
00:09:41,585 --> 00:09:43,210
Don't you think
you should've told me?
199
00:09:43,293 --> 00:09:45,876
I don't know.
I don't know how this
works.
200
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,585
Are two people supposed to
tell
each other everything?
201
00:09:48,668 --> 00:09:51,585
Yes, I think two people
who are considering getting..
202
00:09:53,001 --> 00:09:56,460
Who are considering doing
what..
Don't they?
203
00:09:56,543 --> 00:09:58,835
Wait a minute, are-are we
talking about what we
decided
204
00:09:58,918 --> 00:10:00,543
not to talk about?
205
00:10:00,626 --> 00:10:03,501
No, no, we're not discussing
marriage because that
206
00:10:03,585 --> 00:10:05,876
combined with other unusual
aspects of our relationship
207
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,460
is making us both crazy and
so,
no, we should not discuss it.
208
00:10:09,543 --> 00:10:11,873
Okay, fine.
So we won't.
209
00:10:11,210 --> 00:10:13,626
Fine and that leaves us
...where?
210
00:10:14,501 --> 00:10:15,626
[sighs]
211
00:10:15,710 --> 00:10:16,710
[dramatic music]
212
00:10:16,793 --> 00:10:18,418
With this clue.
213
00:10:20,873 --> 00:10:21,918
Right. A clue.
214
00:10:23,043 --> 00:10:25,501
Tire tracks.
And very
recent.
215
00:10:28,418 --> 00:10:30,376
[cracking]
216
00:10:32,335 --> 00:10:35,585
With any luck, this might
put Bad Brain back on ice.
217
00:10:41,001 --> 00:10:43,668
[laughing]
218
00:10:43,751 --> 00:10:46,251
That was quite a heist
Bad Brain pulled off.
219
00:10:46,335 --> 00:10:47,918
He is good, isn't he?
220
00:10:49,210 --> 00:10:51,585
Do you know the best
part,
my queen?
221
00:10:51,668 --> 00:10:53,835
What, my Centurion?
222
00:10:53,918 --> 00:10:56,668
We're going to own Superman.
223
00:10:56,751 --> 00:10:58,960
And we don't even need this.
224
00:10:59,043 --> 00:11:02,001
[laughter]
225
00:11:06,210 --> 00:11:09,210
[intense music]
226
00:11:11,751 --> 00:11:13,793
Don't dawdle, Miss Goodbottom.
227
00:11:23,876 --> 00:11:25,835
[tires screeching]
228
00:11:34,835 --> 00:11:36,293
[sighs]
229
00:11:36,376 --> 00:11:37,626
[music continues]
230
00:11:37,710 --> 00:11:39,251
Did you call me Miss Goodbottom?
231
00:11:39,335 --> 00:11:41,460
Unless you'd prefer
to be shaken, not stirred
232
00:11:41,543 --> 00:11:43,873
I'd suggest you strap in.
233
00:11:43,210 --> 00:11:45,626
I have a definite feeling
things
will be getting very cerebral.
234
00:11:45,710 --> 00:11:48,835
- Could you speak English?
- Bad Brain Johnson's behind
us.
235
00:11:48,918 --> 00:11:50,418
He's back there?
236
00:11:50,501 --> 00:11:52,168
Let me take care of this.
I know how to handle him.
237
00:11:52,251 --> 00:11:54,543
I'll give him a migraine.
Who does he think he is?
238
00:11:54,626 --> 00:11:57,043
Busting out of prison,
making our lives miserable.
239
00:11:57,873 --> 00:11:58,668
In the future years,
Miss Goodbottom
240
00:11:58,751 --> 00:12:00,793
when I've gone on to a series
of successful sequels
241
00:12:00,876 --> 00:12:03,001
and you've gone on
to relative obscurity
242
00:12:03,463 --> 00:12:06,335
please remember, at this moment
...I was only thinking of you.
243
00:12:06,418 --> 00:12:07,918
[music continues]
244
00:12:08,001 --> 00:12:08,960
[beeps]
245
00:12:10,543 --> 00:12:12,210
[gasps]
Clark?
246
00:12:12,293 --> 00:12:13,876
The name is Man.
247
00:12:15,251 --> 00:12:16,835
Superman.
248
00:12:16,918 --> 00:12:18,001
[Lois screaming]
249
00:12:20,043 --> 00:12:22,335
- What's the matter?
- It's not fair.
250
00:12:22,418 --> 00:12:23,626
What isn't?
251
00:12:23,710 --> 00:12:25,335
Did you ever notice
in all those movies
252
00:12:25,418 --> 00:12:27,418
James Bond did all the driving?
253
00:12:30,585 --> 00:12:32,251
What?
254
00:12:32,335 --> 00:12:33,585
Nothing.
255
00:12:33,668 --> 00:12:35,376
You know, it's just when
you
get right down to it
256
00:12:35,460 --> 00:12:37,873
he did what he did alone.
257
00:12:37,210 --> 00:12:41,293
The cars were all that mattered.
The women were hood ornaments.
258
00:12:41,376 --> 00:12:43,376
They weren't part of the act.
259
00:12:43,460 --> 00:12:45,835
Well, yeah.
260
00:12:47,293 --> 00:12:50,876
- What made you say that?
- Ha, no reason.
261
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,043
- So who do we see next?
- Uh, Tim and Amber Lake.
262
00:12:54,873 --> 00:12:55,710
The Tim and Amber Lake.
263
00:12:55,793 --> 00:12:57,543
The most written
about,
talked about
264
00:12:57,626 --> 00:13:00,043
happiest, richest
couple
in Metropolis.
265
00:13:00,873 --> 00:13:01,668
You know, somehow I don't see
them hanging out
266
00:13:01,751 --> 00:13:03,251
with Bad Brain Johnson.
267
00:13:03,335 --> 00:13:05,460
That tire tread we found
was an Italian import.
268
00:13:05,543 --> 00:13:08,835
Only a few people bought them
and they're on the list.
269
00:13:08,918 --> 00:13:10,668
What'd you tell them
the interview was
about?
270
00:13:10,751 --> 00:13:13,668
Ah, how you too
can achieve total
271
00:13:13,751 --> 00:13:15,585
and perpetual bliss
with the one you love.
272
00:13:15,668 --> 00:13:19,293
[chuckles]
Good. I was wondering
how that worked.
273
00:13:22,626 --> 00:13:24,293
Uh, follow me.
274
00:13:25,793 --> 00:13:27,751
(Amber)
What an amazing coincidence.
275
00:13:27,835 --> 00:13:29,751
Well, just the other day
we were saying how much
276
00:13:29,835 --> 00:13:32,463
we like your work.
277
00:13:32,168 --> 00:13:35,335
And if we must be
interviewed..
And I suppose we must..
278
00:13:35,418 --> 00:13:37,918
[laughing]
279
00:13:38,001 --> 00:13:41,626
Well, we'd love to be
interviewed by you.
280
00:13:41,710 --> 00:13:43,463
And here we are.
281
00:13:43,168 --> 00:13:45,418
Just trying to figure out
what makes you two tick.
282
00:13:45,501 --> 00:13:49,293
Oh, we definitely
tick.
Don't we, darling?
283
00:13:49,376 --> 00:13:51,335
Yes, angel.
284
00:13:55,335 --> 00:13:56,710
[Amber mumbling]
285
00:13:56,793 --> 00:13:58,043
[Amber laughing]
286
00:13:59,376 --> 00:14:00,793
Oh, we never fight.
287
00:14:00,876 --> 00:14:03,793
(Amber)
'Because we think
exactly alike.'
288
00:14:03,876 --> 00:14:05,626
Doesn't that get a little..
289
00:14:05,710 --> 00:14:07,335
- Boring?
- Boring?
290
00:14:07,418 --> 00:14:11,460
As opposed to the half-truths,
white lies, sublimated anger--
291
00:14:11,543 --> 00:14:13,793
Grudges,
irritations,
constant
arguments.
292
00:14:13,876 --> 00:14:18,626
Of 99.9% of all the failed
and failing relationships
293
00:14:18,710 --> 00:14:20,463
in the world at any given time.
294
00:14:20,168 --> 00:14:21,793
It must be an emotional jungle
out there.
295
00:14:21,876 --> 00:14:23,918
A courtship horror show.
296
00:14:24,001 --> 00:14:25,876
Glad I'm nowhere near it,
lover man.
297
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,293
Me too, heart of my heart.
298
00:14:27,376 --> 00:14:29,293
[both laughing]
299
00:14:29,376 --> 00:14:32,793
So, let's talk about
your hobbies.
300
00:14:32,876 --> 00:14:34,251
Absolutely.
301
00:14:34,335 --> 00:14:35,793
What would you like to know?
302
00:14:35,876 --> 00:14:38,293
Well, we hear you collect cars.
303
00:14:38,376 --> 00:14:41,001
- We collect everything.
- Cars.
304
00:14:41,463 --> 00:14:42,463
We have how many, darling?
305
00:14:42,168 --> 00:14:44,501
- Eighty?
- Eighty-three, my pet.
306
00:14:44,585 --> 00:14:46,918
Oh, your mind is like a crystal.
307
00:14:47,001 --> 00:14:49,335
(Tim)
'Too many facets to count.'
308
00:14:49,418 --> 00:14:50,876
[clears throat]
Uh..
309
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,501
Off the record, uh, can I ask
your advice on something?
310
00:14:53,585 --> 00:14:56,168
- What would you like to know?
- Ginelli tires.
311
00:14:56,251 --> 00:14:58,001
(Clark)
'I'm thinking about
buying a set.'
312
00:14:58,463 --> 00:14:59,335
'Have you ever heard of them?'
313
00:14:59,418 --> 00:15:01,793
Yes. Very expensive.
314
00:15:01,876 --> 00:15:04,001
- But they're very good.
- Do you own some?
315
00:15:05,418 --> 00:15:07,918
I bought some,
for a business
acquaintance.
316
00:15:08,001 --> 00:15:09,543
Here in Metropolis?
317
00:15:09,626 --> 00:15:12,876
- He lives in Istanbul.
- Ah!
318
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,335
- Istanbul.
- Istanbul.
319
00:15:18,168 --> 00:15:20,501
I don't know if I suspect them
because they're suspects
320
00:15:20,585 --> 00:15:23,043
or because they make
me wanna barf.
321
00:15:23,873 --> 00:15:25,626
His eyes did do a little dance
when we mentioned those tires
322
00:15:25,710 --> 00:15:27,710
but could they have busted
323
00:15:27,793 --> 00:15:29,960
Bad Brain out of
prison,
those two?
324
00:15:30,043 --> 00:15:32,418
I think we should find every
piece of information we can
325
00:15:32,501 --> 00:15:34,335
on Tim and Amber Lake.
326
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,168
[engine cranking]
327
00:15:39,251 --> 00:15:42,210
[intense music]
328
00:15:44,751 --> 00:15:46,376
Interesting.
329
00:15:46,460 --> 00:15:48,210
We used the van
with the Ginelli tires
330
00:15:48,293 --> 00:15:50,293
for our little raid
on the Star Labs.
331
00:15:50,376 --> 00:15:54,835
And along comes this Clark Kent
and asks about Ginelli tires.
332
00:15:54,918 --> 00:15:58,501
I suppose it could just
be
an amazing coincidence.
333
00:15:58,585 --> 00:16:00,418
Do you really think so,
mon petit chou?
334
00:16:00,501 --> 00:16:03,793
[chuckles]
Of course
not.
335
00:16:03,876 --> 00:16:08,585
But Clark Kent's not
part of our plan,
correct?
336
00:16:08,668 --> 00:16:11,001
As always.
337
00:16:11,463 --> 00:16:12,418
Then let's kill him.
338
00:16:12,501 --> 00:16:14,043
[laughing]
339
00:16:14,873 --> 00:16:18,463
Better yet,
let Bad Brain Johnson kill
him.
340
00:16:18,168 --> 00:16:19,293
Ah!
341
00:16:22,043 --> 00:16:26,751
Step by step,
closer to
Superman.
342
00:16:29,710 --> 00:16:31,835
(man #1 on TV)
'The story you're about
to see is true.'
343
00:16:31,918 --> 00:16:35,210
'The names have been changed
to protect the guilty.'
344
00:16:35,293 --> 00:16:37,873
(White)
This is the city,
Metropolis.
345
00:16:37,210 --> 00:16:38,960
This is "The Planet."
346
00:16:39,043 --> 00:16:41,251
My partner and I were working
the day watch out of Bunco.
347
00:16:41,335 --> 00:16:43,793
My name's White.
I carry a badge.
348
00:16:43,876 --> 00:16:45,251
My partner's name is Olsen.
349
00:16:45,335 --> 00:16:46,793
We'd nabbed a
suspect on charges
350
00:16:46,876 --> 00:16:48,793
of marital nonparticipation.
351
00:16:48,876 --> 00:16:50,876
Make it easy on yourself, Kent.
352
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,376
Tell us your whereabouts
when your wife flipped out.
353
00:16:53,460 --> 00:16:55,501
I-I don't know.
I could've been anywhere.
354
00:16:55,585 --> 00:16:56,960
See, I-I have this other job.
355
00:16:57,043 --> 00:16:58,668
- Doing good, that about
right?
- I try.
356
00:16:58,751 --> 00:17:00,793
You're busy a lot.
Like the night of June 8th?
357
00:17:00,876 --> 00:17:02,793
- I don't remember.
- Night your son was born.
358
00:17:02,876 --> 00:17:05,463
July 10th, fifth anniversary
ring a bell?
359
00:17:05,168 --> 00:17:06,751
There-there was this
really big fire.
360
00:17:06,835 --> 00:17:09,873
August 1st? This little
league
mitt refresh your memory?
361
00:17:09,210 --> 00:17:11,668
Earthquake. Look, I-I really
tried to make it to that
game.
362
00:17:11,751 --> 00:17:13,168
- But you didn't, did you?
- That's the point.
363
00:17:13,251 --> 00:17:14,585
Let me tell you
something Mr. Kent
364
00:17:14,668 --> 00:17:16,418
your wife may have been the one
to go psycho.
365
00:17:16,501 --> 00:17:17,543
Trash a supermarket.
366
00:17:17,626 --> 00:17:18,793
Throw over
all the vegetable bins.
367
00:17:18,876 --> 00:17:20,873
Melt the entire freezer section.
368
00:17:20,210 --> 00:17:21,626
But you drove her to it.
369
00:17:21,710 --> 00:17:23,543
- You're just as guilty.
- G-guilty of what?
370
00:17:23,626 --> 00:17:24,501
Indifference.
371
00:17:24,585 --> 00:17:26,001
Preoccupation with other things.
372
00:17:26,463 --> 00:17:27,876
- 'No emotional support.'
- 'No time for bedtime
stories.'
373
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,668
And don't give me another
saving-the-Hoover-Dam alibi

00:17:29,751 --> 00:17:30,918

are, Mr. Kent?

guys wanted on the Lakes.

memberships,
financial stuff.

They sound like
the perfect
couple.

- Why not?

about us today.

a nightmare about us.

Well, I don't get it, I
thought
we stopped talking about..
434

Y-you know, so that we wouldn't
have this pressure.
435
00:20:06,001 --> 00:20:08,710
Maybe we should just stop..

is contained

a few millimeters from my
skin.

Well, thanks for
keeping me close.

Listen, Lois, that
machine
mistook you for me.
463
00:21:55,168 --> 00:21:57,918
That means that Bad Brain is
gonna be coming for you next.

- Well, I'll be ready.
- You'll be out of reach.

listen to me, partner--

any harder, than it has to be.

attention to them.

so much material, mom.

truth,
I got it on
special.

I-I-I can't keep up.

Actually, I'm only gonna stay
for a couple of days.
489
00:22:58,335 --> 00:23:01,626
I don't wanna make Clark handle
the whole thing by himself.
490
00:23:01,710 --> 00:23:03,463
Oh, but, honey.
491
00:23:03,168 --> 00:23:06,043
Sometimes don't you have
to let Clark do it alone?
492
00:23:06,873 --> 00:23:08,376
You're a little more
likely to get hurt.
493
00:23:08,460 --> 00:23:10,293
On the other hand,
Lois is a smart woman
494
00:23:10,376 --> 00:23:12,835
and she doesn't wanna feel
pushed aside either.
495
00:23:12,918 --> 00:23:14,460
Oh.
496
00:23:14,543 --> 00:23:15,626
Listen to us.
497
00:23:15,710 --> 00:23:17,335
You'd think
it was our
problem.
498
00:23:17,418 --> 00:23:19,501

are working this stuff
out

to give it a little rest.

It was..
Thank you.
504
00:23:38,501 --> 00:23:40,463
It was making us both
a little nuts.

(Jonathan)
You see how things change,
Martha?
506
00:23:42,873 --> 00:23:44,876
In our day, it would've driven
us nuts not to talk about it.

Oh, Lord, yes.

about getting married.

my silly little fears

they would've become
...gigantic.

had nightmares.

- Probably.

Darling, listen to this.
537

A message for Lois.
538
00:25:02,168 --> 00:25:04,793
(Tim)
I've reassembled certain words
from Superman's speech
539

Oh, honey, it's fantastic.
543
00:25:13,876 --> 00:25:15,168
A few more words
and we'll have quite
544
00:25:15,251 --> 00:25:17,626
an enticing little come-hither.
545
00:25:17,710 --> 00:25:19,710
Anything about Kent's death
on the news?
546
00:25:19,793 --> 00:25:22,876
No, this earthquake in
China's
a slightly bigger deal.
547
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,793
But, sweetheart,
Superman's over
there.
548
00:25:26,876 --> 00:25:29,626
I can't think of a better
time
to spring a trap.

Star Labs.

They're on the board.
557
00:26:27,793 --> 00:26:30,585
Right, your earliest flight

[indistinct chatter]
568
00:27:13,918 --> 00:27:17,251
- Excuse me, can I help you?
- I'm waiting for Miss Lane.
569
00:27:17,335 --> 00:27:19,043
Eh, Lois is gonna be out
of the office for a while.
570
00:27:19,873 --> 00:27:21,668
- Her and Mr. Kent are out--
- Uh, Dr. Klein.
571
00:27:21,751 --> 00:27:23,873
- Lois.
- Lois?
572
00:27:23,210 --> 00:27:25,210
- Thanks for meeting me.
- What are you doing here?
573
00:27:25,293 --> 00:27:27,626
(Perry)
You're supposed
to be laying low.
574
00:27:27,710 --> 00:27:29,335
Now, where's Clark?
Is he okay?
575
00:27:29,418 --> 00:27:32,001
- He's fine.
- Where's your bulletproof
vest?
576
00:27:32,463 --> 00:27:34,463
Dry cleaner's.
Let me wear that tie.
577
00:27:34,168 --> 00:27:35,710
Bullets will run screaming.

00:27:36,835 --> 00:27:39,463
It's a gift. Hey.

[sighs]
580
00:27:42,001 --> 00:27:44,001
Dr. Klein, is it possible
581
00:27:44,463 --> 00:27:46,463
that somebody
on the board of Star Labs
582
00:27:46,168 --> 00:27:48,168
knew that you had Kryptonite?
583
00:27:50,876 --> 00:27:53,043
Dr. Klein?
584
00:27:53,873 --> 00:27:54,835
I don't wanna get
anyone
in trouble.
585
00:27:54,918 --> 00:27:56,168
Well, this is urgent.
586
00:27:56,251 --> 00:27:59,463
Kryptonite is out there
and so is Superman.
587
00:27:59,168 --> 00:28:00,873
So who knew?
588
00:28:00,210 --> 00:28:01,543
You must understand
589
00:28:01,626 --> 00:28:04,293
that research grants
today
are harder to come by.
590
00:28:04,376 --> 00:28:07,626
They offered to make a
major donation towards my
work
591
00:28:07,710 --> 00:28:10,873
if I confirmed
the presence of
Kryptonite.
592
00:28:10,210 --> 00:28:11,960
They're highly
respected
members of the board.
593
00:28:12,043 --> 00:28:14,873
I didn't think
it'd hurt for them to
know.
594
00:28:16,501 --> 00:28:18,293
After the stuff was stolen..
595
00:28:19,668 --> 00:28:22,335
...I was afraid
that I'd be
ruined.

It's Tim and Amber Lake
who know, isn't it?

Isn't it?
598
00:28:31,418 --> 00:28:32,835
Yes.

(Tim)
I wouldn't do that.

Sustained contact for longer
than point three seconds

will detonate the 200 pounds of
TNT directly beneath your feet.
636
00:31:14,876 --> 00:31:17,835
- Why am I here?
- We're faking your death.
637
00:31:17,918 --> 00:31:21,335
- Everybody thinks I'm dead?
- Especially Superman.
638
00:31:21,418 --> 00:31:24,043
A little video editing,
coupled with Bad Brain
Johnson's
639
00:31:24,873 --> 00:31:26,463
very public hatred of you.

that you were fried'

electro-whammy.'

- Where is Bad Brain?
- His death we didn't fake.
643
00:31:33,043 --> 00:31:34,668
You killed him?
644
00:31:34,751 --> 00:31:37,418
Right after we broke
him
out of prison.
645
00:31:37,501 --> 00:31:39,251
He was superfluous.
646
00:31:39,335 --> 00:31:41,001
We wanted you.
647
00:31:41,463 --> 00:31:45,335
As a means to an end
...Superman's.
648
00:31:45,418 --> 00:31:47,251
We're collectors.
649
00:31:47,335 --> 00:31:49,585
You're the honey, honey.
650
00:31:49,668 --> 00:31:50,960
Superman's the bee.

[bell ringing]
653
00:32:02,873 --> 00:32:03,501
What's happened?
654
00:32:06,293 --> 00:32:08,210
I didn't know
how else to reach you.
655
00:32:10,001 --> 00:32:13,835
I know she was your friend.
I'm so desperately sorry.
656
00:32:15,210 --> 00:32:16,251
Thank you.
657
00:32:16,335 --> 00:32:18,043
Did Miss Lane tell you
about the Lakes?
658
00:32:18,873 --> 00:32:19,376
No.
659
00:32:19,460 --> 00:32:21,043
It was right after
they asked about the
Kryptonite
660
00:32:21,873 --> 00:32:22,668
that the robbery happened.
661
00:32:22,751 --> 00:32:25,835
Isn't the robber the one
who killed Ms. Lane?

[instrumental music]
663
00:32:36,918 --> 00:32:38,210
[sighs]
Well, where is
he?
664
00:32:38,293 --> 00:32:39,918
For heaven's sake
how long does it
take
665
00:32:40,001 --> 00:32:41,585
to put all the pieces together?
666
00:32:41,668 --> 00:32:42,585
Oh.
667
00:32:44,376 --> 00:32:45,543
Apparently not long.
668
00:32:45,626 --> 00:32:47,751
Superman, delightful to see you.
669
00:32:47,835 --> 00:32:50,585
- Cafe latte?
- Maybe he prefers decaf.
670
00:32:50,668 --> 00:32:51,960
Where's Bad Brain?
671
00:32:52,043 --> 00:32:53,585
I'm afraid I can't help you
with Bad Brain.
672
00:32:53,668 --> 00:32:54,960
I think you'll agree, though
673
00:32:55,043 --> 00:32:57,751
we have something
much more interesting.
674
00:32:57,835 --> 00:32:59,001
[beeping]
675
00:33:03,001 --> 00:33:04,251
What's going on, Lake?
676
00:33:04,335 --> 00:33:06,168
I'm in no mood
for guessing games.
677
00:33:06,251 --> 00:33:08,751
But are you
in the mood for
this?
678
00:33:10,210 --> 00:33:12,460
- Superman.
- Lois.
679
00:33:15,876 --> 00:33:18,251
So near and yet so far.
680
00:33:18,335 --> 00:33:19,626
[laughing]
681
00:33:19,710 --> 00:33:21,460
- It's a trap.
- I know.
682
00:33:21,543 --> 00:33:23,960
- They have Kryptonite.
- I don't care.
683
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,710
You've got 30 seconds.
684
00:33:26,793 --> 00:33:29,043
You mess with the timer,
she dies.
685
00:33:29,873 --> 00:33:31,873
You break the light field,
she dies.
686
00:33:31,210 --> 00:33:32,460
'You try to disarm the bomb'
687
00:33:32,543 --> 00:33:34,960
and clean our clocks,
she also dies.
688
00:33:35,043 --> 00:33:39,168
The only way for you to save
her, is to join our
collection.
689
00:33:39,251 --> 00:33:40,460
Forever.
690
00:33:40,543 --> 00:33:42,501
[dramatic music]
691
00:33:44,543 --> 00:33:45,626
Don't do it.
692
00:33:45,710 --> 00:33:46,960
It's the only way
to keep you alive.
693
00:33:47,043 --> 00:33:48,710
Would you stop?
The world needs you.
694
00:33:48,793 --> 00:33:52,960
- And I need you.
- Ten seconds and counting.
695
00:33:53,043 --> 00:33:55,043
You'll be trapped, caged.
696
00:33:55,873 --> 00:33:58,043
- I'll be with you.
- Two seconds.
697
00:33:59,168 --> 00:34:02,873
[music continues]
698
00:34:03,876 --> 00:34:04,918
No.
699
00:34:11,043 --> 00:34:13,043
- Lift off.
- We did it!
700
00:34:13,873 --> 00:34:15,463
[moaning]
701
00:34:17,460 --> 00:34:19,001
You see, Superman,
we wanted you alive.
702
00:34:19,463 --> 00:34:20,876
Lois is the lock
on your cage.
703
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,793
Either of you breaks
the light field, she gets it.
704
00:34:25,335 --> 00:34:28,293
No matter how fast you fly,
you still set it off.
705
00:34:28,376 --> 00:34:31,626
Now, the floor is a minefield,
anyone tries to rescue..
706
00:34:31,710 --> 00:34:33,376
Well, you get the idea.
707
00:34:33,460 --> 00:34:35,626
We'll talk about your feeding
schedule later.
708
00:34:35,710 --> 00:34:37,793
- 'How about a drink, Amber?'
- 'I'm buying.'
709
00:34:37,876 --> 00:34:39,501
(Tim)
Oh, one last detail.
710
00:34:39,585 --> 00:34:41,293
[music continues]
711
00:34:42,543 --> 00:34:43,835
With the two of you
and Clark dead
712
00:34:43,918 --> 00:34:45,710
no one will come
looking for you.
713
00:34:45,793 --> 00:34:49,751
And since Bad Brain did it,
no one will come looking for
us.
714
00:34:49,835 --> 00:34:52,460
(Amber)
'Oh, isn't he fantastic?'
715
00:34:53,293 --> 00:34:55,293
Welcome to forever.
716
00:34:55,376 --> 00:34:58,293
[laughing]
717
00:35:05,376 --> 00:35:07,251
This isn't exactly
how I pictured us
718
00:35:07,335 --> 00:35:08,960
getting old together.
719
00:35:11,001 --> 00:35:15,918
You gave up everything
in your life...for me.
720
00:35:16,001 --> 00:35:18,335
Without you,
it wouldn't have been a
life.
721
00:35:22,463 --> 00:35:25,043
[mellow music]
722
00:35:38,001 --> 00:35:39,751
She's gone, Jimmy.
723
00:35:39,835 --> 00:35:41,668
I'll never get
used
to that either.
724
00:35:41,751 --> 00:35:44,418
Now, have we heard from Clark?
725
00:35:45,335 --> 00:35:46,376
No.
726
00:35:48,918 --> 00:35:51,210
Why couldn't she have
just stayed hidden?
727
00:35:51,293 --> 00:35:52,710
Lois is a very..
728
00:35:54,668 --> 00:35:57,876
...was a very headstrong woman.
729
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,873
Chief, Superman will find
Bad Brain and when he does
730
00:36:01,210 --> 00:36:02,793
I'd hate to be in his shoes.
731
00:36:04,501 --> 00:36:07,873
But I'd love to be there
to see Superman kick his butt.
732
00:36:07,210 --> 00:36:11,293
Yeah, but where is Superman?
I mean, is he even on the
case?
733
00:36:11,376 --> 00:36:13,001
You want my guess?
734
00:36:14,543 --> 00:36:16,710
Superman is somewhere
bumming big-time.
735
00:36:17,710 --> 00:36:19,168
[knock on door]
736
00:36:19,251 --> 00:36:21,668
Don't come in here
unless you got good news.
737
00:36:23,626 --> 00:36:25,293
There's a package
for you, Mr. White.
738
00:36:25,376 --> 00:36:27,293
Oh. Ah.
739
00:36:28,376 --> 00:36:29,460
Thank you.
740
00:36:38,376 --> 00:36:39,835
What's this?
741
00:36:47,876 --> 00:36:49,293
Oh, my God.
742
00:36:50,710 --> 00:36:52,463
He's dead.
743
00:36:55,418 --> 00:36:57,463
Superman is dead.
744
00:37:05,835 --> 00:37:07,418
(Lois)
I was thinking..
745
00:37:09,668 --> 00:37:12,463
- About?
- Little things.
746
00:37:14,501 --> 00:37:17,751
All the stupid little
things
I let bother me.
747
00:37:18,876 --> 00:37:20,710
Things I kept inside.
748
00:37:21,710 --> 00:37:23,293
I let keep us apart.
749
00:37:24,876 --> 00:37:26,501
I know.
750
00:37:26,585 --> 00:37:27,918
I was the same way.
751
00:37:29,463 --> 00:37:31,043
Your parents were right.
752
00:37:32,918 --> 00:37:34,335
Not talking about our fears
753
00:37:34,418 --> 00:37:36,501
just made them worse
than they are.
754
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:43,960
I guess...you don't really
wanna be Superman, do you?
755
00:37:44,043 --> 00:37:46,460
[chuckles]
No.
756
00:37:51,376 --> 00:37:54,418
I guess you think of me
as more than a hood ornament.
757
00:37:56,793 --> 00:37:58,626
I don't even own a car.
758
00:37:58,710 --> 00:37:59,876
[chuckles]
759
00:38:02,376 --> 00:38:05,335
[mellow music]
760
00:38:06,460 --> 00:38:07,585
God.
761
00:38:08,835 --> 00:38:10,835
I wish I could touch you.
762
00:38:14,251 --> 00:38:18,210
Well, you can touch me
...with your words.
763
00:38:22,335 --> 00:38:23,918
Ever since we met..
764
00:38:25,001 --> 00:38:27,873
...actually..
765
00:38:27,210 --> 00:38:29,751
...ever since I took
the time to listen..
766
00:38:31,626 --> 00:38:36,543
...something about you
always made sense to me.
767
00:38:36,626 --> 00:38:38,751
[music continues]
768
00:38:38,835 --> 00:38:44,418
Even when a huge part of
you didn't make any sense..
769
00:38:44,501 --> 00:38:48,418
...there was a part deep
down that...that did.
770
00:38:51,876 --> 00:38:54,335
That's the part
that touches me.
771
00:38:57,873 --> 00:38:59,168
Just makes sense out of life.
772
00:39:00,918 --> 00:39:03,335
- Lois.
- I know.
773
00:39:03,418 --> 00:39:05,668
[music continues]
774
00:39:05,751 --> 00:39:07,463
I know.
775
00:39:33,876 --> 00:39:36,876
[music continues]
776
00:39:42,501 --> 00:39:45,501
- Lois, wake up.
- Hmm.
777
00:39:48,168 --> 00:39:50,793
- I'm getting us out of
here.
- What?
778
00:39:52,501 --> 00:39:54,918
I can fly around the world
in minutes, right?
779
00:39:55,001 --> 00:39:56,335
Well, I've always thought..
780
00:39:56,418 --> 00:39:59,168
...in theory,
if I could focus that energy
781
00:39:59,251 --> 00:40:01,251
I could vastly
increase my speed.
782
00:40:01,335 --> 00:40:03,585
Well, how will increasing
your speed help us escape?
783
00:40:03,668 --> 00:40:06,335
Because if I could
gear up my speed
784
00:40:06,418 --> 00:40:10,210
and shift it back and forth,
I'll vibrate.
785
00:40:10,293 --> 00:40:13,960
Vibrate so fast that I could
displace my molecular
structure.
786
00:40:14,043 --> 00:40:17,463
And turn yourself into
a mass of loose molecules?
787
00:40:17,168 --> 00:40:19,251
And pass through
this force field.
788
00:40:20,835 --> 00:40:23,335
What if it doesn't work?
789
00:40:23,418 --> 00:40:28,463
- It's all
semi-theoretical.
- It's semi-suicidal!
790
00:40:28,168 --> 00:40:29,751
[sighs]
791
00:40:29,835 --> 00:40:31,668
Okay, tell me the truth.
792
00:40:31,751 --> 00:40:35,335
- Could it kill you?
- I don't know.
793
00:40:35,418 --> 00:40:36,876
Well, a few hours ago
you weren't willing
794
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,710
to let me die for you, so
why should I let you die for
me?
795
00:40:39,793 --> 00:40:42,335
At least this has
a chance, Lois.
796
00:40:42,418 --> 00:40:45,293
That's what you and I together
are all about
797
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:46,751
taking a chance.
798
00:40:49,918 --> 00:40:51,043

[buzzing]
800
00:41:07,501 --> 00:41:10,501
You see, it doesn't work.
Clark, it's just too hard.
801
00:41:17,293 --> 00:41:20,918
Remember...I love you.
802
00:41:23,001 --> 00:41:24,585
No, Clark, don't!
803

[dramatic music]
805
00:41:43,501 --> 00:41:45,168
Come back to me.
806
00:41:49,876 --> 00:41:53,335
You did it. You did it.
807
00:41:53,418 --> 00:41:56,668
Clark, listen to me.
You can't touch the floor.
808
00:41:56,751 --> 00:41:59,463
'You gotta fly,
you can't touch the floor.'
809
00:42:01,873 --> 00:42:02,293
That's it.
810
00:42:03,543 --> 00:42:04,835
'You can do it.'
811
00:42:05,710 --> 00:42:06,960
'You're doing great.'
812
00:42:07,043 --> 00:42:09,751
[music continues]
813
00:42:09,835 --> 00:42:11,376
(Lois)
'That's it.'
814
00:42:21,001 --> 00:42:24,873
- What's that?
- A problem.
815
00:42:24,210 --> 00:42:25,835
If you touch
the force field, the spark
816
00:42:25,918 --> 00:42:28,293
is sent across one
of these jumpers
817
00:42:28,376 --> 00:42:30,168
and the bomb goes off.
818
00:42:30,251 --> 00:42:32,501
The problem is I don't,
I don't know which one.
819
00:42:32,585 --> 00:42:35,335
Five are dummies,
only one is real.
820
00:42:35,418 --> 00:42:37,668
So, what do I do?
821
00:42:37,751 --> 00:42:40,001
- Touch the force field.
- What?
822
00:42:40,463 --> 00:42:42,376
I'll stop the circuit
before it closes.
823
00:42:42,460 --> 00:42:44,835
A-are you sure you're faster
than electricity?
824
00:42:44,918 --> 00:42:47,168
[music continues]
825
00:42:47,251 --> 00:42:49,335
Yeah, yeah. I know.
826
00:42:49,418 --> 00:42:52,418
Take a chance. Okay.
827
00:42:52,501 --> 00:42:54,376
So I'll go on three.
828
00:42:54,460 --> 00:42:56,835
You know, one, two, um..
829
00:42:56,918 --> 00:42:58,463
Okay.
830
00:43:00,168 --> 00:43:02,873
Yeah, I-I-I'm not
gonna say three.
831
00:43:02,210 --> 00:43:05,418
- Lois.
- Okay. Here goes.
832
00:43:05,501 --> 00:43:07,876
[music continues]
833
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,793
One, two..
834
00:43:12,460 --> 00:43:13,668
[electrical buzzing]
835
00:43:20,668 --> 00:43:21,751

[beeping]
837
00:43:24,501 --> 00:43:25,793
What's happening?
838
00:43:26,876 --> 00:43:28,463
Problem in the zoo.
839
00:43:28,168 --> 00:43:29,585
I'll handle the Lakes.
840
00:43:29,668 --> 00:43:30,876
You go call the police.
841
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:32,793
The cops, right.
And then what?
842
00:43:32,876 --> 00:43:34,043
Then you and I'll go home
843
00:43:34,873 --> 00:43:36,043
because we got a lot
of explaining to do.
844
00:43:36,873 --> 00:43:37,501
What?
845
00:43:37,585 --> 00:43:39,501
I-I'll tell you about it later.
846
00:43:42,668 --> 00:43:44,251

- Uh!
- Oh.
849
00:43:54,293 --> 00:43:56,873
With any luck,
that'll be the last time
850
00:43:56,210 --> 00:43:58,463
Tim and Amber Lake
see each other.
851

852
00:44:01,501 --> 00:44:02,876
Great job, you two.
853
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,418
If you want a lifetime
contract, just see me.
854
00:44:05,501 --> 00:44:07,463
Actually, we're working on that.
855
00:44:07,168 --> 00:44:08,585
Definitely.
856
00:44:08,668 --> 00:44:11,043
Well, I know you all
have had a difficult time
857
00:44:11,873 --> 00:44:12,543
these last couple of weeks.
858
00:44:12,626 --> 00:44:14,463
We're okay, Perry.
859
00:44:14,168 --> 00:44:17,043
Yeah, well, just remember,
there's no perfect sunsets.
860
00:44:17,873 --> 00:44:19,251
There's a little crack
in every cloud
861
00:44:19,335 --> 00:44:21,376
but that's what gives
you your silver lining.
862
00:44:21,460 --> 00:44:24,876
So, uh, well, here's
to silver linings.
863
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:25,960
I'll drink to that.
864
00:44:26,043 --> 00:44:27,626
[laughing]
865
00:44:32,293 --> 00:44:33,251

What do you think?

00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:09,501
There's no time
like the right time.
