[theme music]
(Clark) Previously on "Lois and Clark.."
Did you know Lois was writing a novel?
- The true amazing adventures.. - Wanda Detroit.
Lois is somewhere acting like the heroine of her secret novel?
Alright, Luthor. It's over.
- Let her go! - She stays with me!
- She'll die. - We'll all die then.
Come on, we've gotta get out of here.
Aah!
Wanda? Lois?
I'm sorry, do I know you?
[dramatic music]
[explosion]
[instrumental "Battle Hymn Of The Republic"]
(Clark) 'And I understand that this is one of the best facilities'
'in the country for treating memory loss.'
(Dr. Deter) 'Well, we've had a lot of success'
but you have to understand
that this is not an exact science.
I mean, Lois' memory could pop back in tomorrow
or it could be lost forever.
But there is a good chance
that she will fully recover, isn't there?
Oh, I'm hopeful but there are no guarantees.
Doctor, I'm counting on you.
This is the woman that I love.
I know and that's why
it's important that you don't tell her that.
Don't tell her? Why?
Revelations that are deeply emotional
have unpredictable consequences.
The shock could be too much for her to take.
(Lois) Alright.
All checked in. Place seems nice.
Guess if you have to be crazy
'this is the place to be crazy in.'
Lois, I doubt Dr. Deter refers to his patients as crazy.
You kidding? Of course I do.
Clark here was just telling me all about you.
Well, then you know a lot more about me than I do.
(Dr. Deter) 'We're gonna work very hard to change all that.'
We wanna ease you back into your life.
So, although Clark will be permitted
to visit you every other day
you'll have no other visitors for the first two weeks.
Also, we won't want you leaving the grounds for the first month.
Sounds kind of severe.
Well, whatever it takes to get me back up to speed.
Uh, it's fine with me.
Dr. Deter, aren't you gonna introduce me
to this beautiful young lady?
[laughing]
Uh, Lois, this is Homer Blackstock.
'Homer, this is Lois Lane.'
Maybe some morning, uh, you and I
could split a prune Danish?
If you play your cards right.
[laughs]
Our resident Lothario.
Yeah, I wanna start your therapy as soon as possible.
I guess that I should go.
Uh, I'll, uh... I'll be back later tonight.
Okay.
Thanks for everything...Clark.
[instrumental music]
Oh, Mr. Kent.
The police retrieved this.
Dr. Deter said you should hang on to it.
Thank you.
[music continues]
[theme music]
[music continues]
Well, I'm sorry if the mayor doesn't like my editorials.
You know, there is this little called the first amendment.
No one is questioning your rights.
It's just that the mayor thinks
you're treading on dangerous ground
when you start linking local businessmen
to organized crime.
If I'm not mistaken
these local businessmen
were all contributors to his campaign.
You could be opening yourself up to a slander suit.
Uh-huh.
Well, you can tell the mayor
'that my mitt is oiled, my cleats are sharpened'
and if he wants to play hardball
he's come to the right guy.
Thank you very much for your time, Mr. White.
I'm sure you'll be hearing from me.
Did I come at a bad time?
Oh, the mayor thinks he can send
his hatchet man in here.
She's fairly attractive for a hatchet man, chief.
- Yeah, well, I didn't notice. - Right.
Did you, uh, get Lois checked in okay?
Yeah, uh, this Dr. Deter, who's treating her
he's supposed to be one of the nation's
foremost experts on memory loss.
Oh, well, that's great. That's great.
I want her to have the very best.
In the meantime, we got a newspaper to run here.
And, uh, I wanna put you on the Sanborn murder.
That is, if you think you're up to it.
Yeah, sure.
Nothing like a murder
to help keep my mind off of Lois.
(Dr. Deter) 'Miss Lane's come through a very traumatic time.'
The effects may not be entirely reversible.
Perhaps I can help.
She appears to be a perfect candidate
for my research program.
Well, I'd be honored but isn't your area of expertise
more behavioral modification?
I'm broadening my study
to include behavior reconstruction
which should complement your treatment.
- She'd be in good hands. - Yes, she would.
(McCluskey) Collect whatever you can
get it over to the lab, ASAP.
- And double-check everything. - Yes.
McCluskey, you caught this one?
Pretty ugly way to go, huh?
Yeah, at least it was quick.
I heard they couldn't pull any prints off the grenade launcher?
And the I.D. number was filed off.
It's as clean as a new-born.
Any idea who might've done it?
It'd be a real pro.
Your average drive-by doesn't usually involve
a rocket-propelled grenade.
We figure the shooter was standing over by that tree.
We scoured the entire area.
We couldn't find a thing that was useful.
- 'McCluskey.' - I'll be right there.
Excuse me.
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
(Dr. Deter) You know, you're lucky that Dr. Mendenhall's
going to assist in your treatment.
He's working on a new program that should speed up
your recovery significantly.
I'll take all the help I can get.
(male #1) 'Watch the line, please.'
'You got him?'
Excuse me.
Oh, God. It's Homer.
Reilly, what happened?
He had a stroke right after lunch.
'He's stabilized, but nonresponsive.'
'Dr. Mendenhall's transferring him to a hospital.'
Just this morning
he was so full of life
and now look at him.
Agnes, I know that you and Homer were close.
I'll come to your room later and we can about it, alright?
Oh, thank you. I'd like that.
Oh, uh-uh, Lois, this is Agnes Moskowitz.
'Agnes is a patient of Dr. Mendenhall's.'
I'm sorry about Homer.
Life can be so unfair.
(male #2) 'Uh, ma'am, we're ready to transport.'
Alright.
[sighs]
She's right. Look at me.
Here I am in the prime of my life
and I'm this blank slate.
What if I never come out of this?
Oh, that's exactly why you're here.
Look, I'm gonna try and get inside your mind
and find the-the seed of your memory.
Together, we'll try and make that seed blossom.
But it will require absolute trust and honesty on your part.
Can you handle that?
Okay. Let's go.
[thunder rumbling]
- Goodnight. - 'Goodnight.'
- You know where to reach me. - 'Yes, doctor.'
- Clark? - Dr. Deter.
How was Lois' first day?
Uh, productive
but it's gonna be a lengthy process.
[chuckles] I'm-I'm sorry to ask
but there's no romantic note or anything in those flowers..
- Is there? - No.
Because it's critical that
you don't mention your relationship
or anything about work.
Yeah, we've been over the rules.
And it'll be best if you kept this visit short.
Fine. Five minutes, on the weather. Got it.
Great. Thank you.
Hey, Clark.
You do want her well, don't you?
Of course.
[thunder rumbling]
These are beautiful.
Forget-me-nots.
'So, how're you feeling?'
Okay.
Been going through this paper they say I write for.
Front page is good, the Metro section
leaves a lot to be desired.
And the movie critic, who does he think he is?
Oh, no offense.
He's probably a friend of yours.
Actually, he's probably a friend of mine.
A-actually, he doesn't have any friends.
That article that you wrote?
'You think that the victim was killed'
because he wouldn't link up with organized crime?
That's pretty much where I came out.
Uh, listen, uh
I, uh, I just got off work
so, I-I don't really want to talk about it.
Oh, you don't? Oh, gee, I did.
- See, I think that maybe-- - Uh, let's talk about you.
What me? I've..
I don't remember anything, remember?
'So, do the police have any leads?'
Oh, okay, then-then let's talk about me.
Oh.
Okay.
Actually, um..
'I was wondering..'
I mean, it's very sweet and everything
but, uh, why do you keep coming to see me?
'Does the boss send you or'
are you just this friendly with everyone?
(male #4) 'Superman, help!'
Lois, uh, I-I gotta go.
Go where?
Uh..
Hula dancing?
Uh...no. Uh, there's this, um..
Regatta thing at the harbor
that I said I'd cover.
A Regatta thing. At night?
Yeah. It's-it's a, it's a night regatta thing.
- Have a good time. - Okay.
Bye.
[thunder rumbling]
[dramatic music]
Only a few more treatments
you'll be ready to face the world, Agnes.
[instrumental "Battle Hymn Of The Republic"]
[machine whirring]
[Agnes humming]
[telephone rings]
Yes?
This is the Hangman.
Of course, I'm ready.
Have the 50,000 delivered to me at once, in cash.
Good.
My associate is in the final stage of preparation.
[humming]
[dramatic music]
♪ His truth is ♪
♪ Marching on ♪♪
Excellent.
[music continues]
(male #5) 'Oh, detective..'
Great way to start your morning, isn't it, Kent?
What can you give me?
Victim's name was Roger Stephens.
He left Casey's around 11:00.
When he got to the alley, he was hit by a dozen rounds
from a Beretta.
Can you give me any leads?
Well, the piece was left behind
just like with Sanborn
but no fingerprints, no serial numbers on the piece.
- Could it be the same shooter? - Yeah, it could be.
We're checking our hotlist for military vets.
This guy knows his way around hardware.
[dramatic music]
Detective!
Hey, what are those?
These seeds were found at the crime scenes.
Police lab said they come from this pod
that hangs from a rare plant called a Scarlet Placidium.
Think the murderer left it as his calling card?
Don't know. What's the run-down on Stephens?
Senior VP for a big construction company downtown.
It was rumored that he was connected to Intergang
but the D.A.'s office was never able to prove anything.
[Clark whistling]
Let's see. Wedding, funeral
or job interview.
Hey. I need an excuse to, uh, look good?
Ha-ha.
Oh, uh, chief, um..
Sally, uh..
- What was it? Reynolds? - From the mayor's office?
Yeah, yeah. She called to confirm your date for lunch.
It-it's not like it's a date or anything.
'You know, she just wants to talk to me'
about my latest, uh, editorial.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
[laughing]
- Oh, my.. - You going to see Lois?
No. I used up my visit quota for the day.
Uh, so, how are things looking, better?
Absolutely.
And it's just a matter of time now
before Lois is back to being Lois.
And we still have a wedding to finish.
So, the doctor's confident and things. You have faith in him.
I'm confident and I have faith in Lois.
That's great.
Well, then I, I guess there's no reason
for me to tell you to prepare yourself for--
For?
Um..
CK, you know that
there's a chance, slim
that Lois might not recover.
No, Jimmy, there is no chance of that.
None.
[indistinct chatter]
[whoosh]
[gasp]
Superman.
That is who you are, right?
I-I saw your picture in the paper.
Yeah.
I just dropped in to say hello.
Hi.
So, um..
Clark says that you and I are friends.
Yeah. Clark, uh..
He asked me to stop by
and make sure they were treating you alright.
So, is everything okay?
If you don't mind cutting your steak with plastic spoons.
I'm fine.
Dr. Deter's taking special care of me.
Clark worries about you, you know?
Can I ask you something confidentially about Clark?
He comes here all the time.
I-I mean, he seems lonely.
Shouldn't he get a girlfriend or a boyfriend? Someone?
[instrumental music]
He does have someone.
Someone he can't live without.
Oh.
Oh, that's good.
Anybody I know?
You-you two are very close.
Oh. Well, I hope to meet her.
Say, did-did Clark tell you anything
about that murder that he's working on?
Not really.
You're just like Clark.
Think so?
Well, he didn't want to tell me about it either.
But I think that's too bad because I have this feeling
that it would really get my juices flowing.
Oh.
Well...there was another man killed last night.
The cases could be related.
That's more like it. What else?
Well, the police, they found
these very unusual seed pods at the crime scene.
In fact, Clark gave me one to show you.
Superman, what are you doing here?
Uh, I just dropped in to say hello to Lois.
You're not on her approved visitor list.
Uh, I'm Superman.
I see, and rules therefore
don't apply to you.
You may wanna exploit this need to dominate others.
Oh, Dr. Deter
'Clark just asked Superman'
to come by and make sure I was okay.
And he thought she might need a guardian angel.
And in a medical situation that would be me.
And in every situation that would be me.
Uh, boys, I'm actually kind of tired.
(male #6) 'This is a holdup!'
Uh, I'll leave
but remember that I'm never far away.
In the bag. Come on.
Let's go. Hurry.
[dramatic music]
Can you believe this? In broad daylight.
Maybe if the mayor hadn't cut back
the police force this wouldn't be happening.
Shut up and hand over everything you got!
Oh, please, that's my grandmother's.
It's not worth much.
It's not worth anything to you, lady.
- Hey, hold on a minute. - Shut up!
[music continues]
I hate heroes.
Oh, my God, no!
[gunshot]
I believe this is yours.
Time to take out the trash.
[both screaming]
[both groaning]
- Mr. White, are you alright? - Yeah-yeah, I'm fine.
Boy, I'm glad you were in the neighborhood.
Police can take it from here.
[sirens wailing]
(male #7) 'He blew it.'
Superman came in and saved
White at the last second.
I don't think we should be screwing
with these punks anymore.
We need a pro.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I heard about this guy they named..
...the Hangman.
[intense music]
I had the strangest dream last night.
Mm-hmm.
I wouldn't worry about that.
You won't be having those anymore.
Oh, this, by the way
will be your final treatment.
Well, thanks for everything.
No.
Thank you.
[machine whirring]
[dramatic music]
So, have you been working on your memory exercises?
Yes, anything that came up
I wrote it down in my diary.
Good, uh, you feel like sharing it with me?
Sure.
"It's Christmas morning, I'm rushing into the living room
"and there I see a new red bike
tied with a yellow ribbon."
Excellent.
Was it what you wanted?
No, I wanted an airplane.
Oh, you like model planes?
No, real ones. I wanted a 727.
[laughs] What?
I think I remember wanting to fly.
I wanted to feel safe.
Up and away from all the confusion down here.
Hmm. I still have dreams about flying over the city.
A-actually, they seem more like memories.
What're you looking at?
You.
You remind me of someone.
Who?
Someone I've always dreamed of meeting.
Sorry. I've embarrassed you.
I know I've embarrassed myself.
Uh, pastrami, huh?
Hope you like it.
Well, we'll find out.
Do you, uh, picnic with all your patients?
Just the special ones.
How many special ones are there?
Only one.
[instrumental music]
[dramatic music]
Who am I?
[music continues]
[sighs]
[music continues]
I feel like Nancy Drew, whoever that is.
Bingo.
[music continues]
[gasps]
Hi.
Lois, I'm Dr. Mendenhall.
I, uh, I was
I was just admiring this beautiful bush.
Yes, it's lovely, isn't it?
I'm glad I found you.
I think we can start your treatments.
- Now? - I see no reason to wait.
Sure. Why not?
[music continues]
[instrumental music]
With patients with Alzheimer's
they put them around familiar things.
Mom, dad, what are you doing in Metropolis?
Oh, we flew up to visit Lois.
Mr. Kent, I've tried to explain my rules to your parents
but they just don't seem to understand.
They want Lois to know there are people who care about her.
People she doesn't know.
First it was you, then it's Superman
today it's your folks.
I asked you not to discuss her professional life
the first thing that you do is get her all excited
about some murder investigation.
She told you about that?
She tells me everything.
He's her fiance.
Surely it's important that--
Doctor, I mean, I mean, you're an expert in your field
but I'm an expert on Lois.
Without correct treatment, there is no Lois.
Because you care so much for her, I'm sure you'll understand
'that she's at a critical juncture.'
I'm trying to lead her down the path to recovery
and save her from confusion and mental chaos.
Okay, doctor, we'll back off.
I know it sounds harsh
but we have to think of Lois.
So, until further notice I can't allow her to have visitors.
Well, but that's unreasonable.
If you want Lois back, you follow my orders.
If not, I'll sign her release papers.
Your choice.
Okay, we'll do it your way.
But I want to know everything that happens with Lois.
Of course.
And, doctor, I'm always nearby.
Excuse me.
I'm used to being there for her
to being Superman.
What good is all my strength now?
There's all kinds of strength, honey.
Enduring a painful situation with patients
it may take the greatest strength of all.
Lois and I have never been up against anything like this.
I keep looking for a sign that
things are gonna be okay.
You just keep looking. You'll see it.
(Dr. Mendenhall as Hangman) 'This is the Hangman.'
Yes, everything's going quite well.
The contract will be carried out in another day or so
providing you can deliver the money.
Of course, it'll be confidential.
Once she carries out her assignment
she won't say a word
ever again.
[instrumental "Battle Hymn Of The Republic"]
[dramatic music]
Lois?
Your treatment is coming along very well.
Good evening, Lois.
- Hi. Are those Agnes' clothes? - Yes.
She had a stroke this afternoon and was taken to county general.
A stroke?
She's such a sweet thing.
And the saddest part is, Dr. Mendenhall was doing
so well with her.
Wasn't Dr. Mendenhall also
treating Homer Blackstock?
Mm-hmm. I heard Mr. Blackstock lapsed into a coma.
Uh, could I ask you one more question?
Yes.
Did you happen to notice red welts on Agnes' temples?
Actually, now that you mention it, yes, I did. Why?
Oh..
Goodnight.
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
First I break in
now I'm about to go through this man's office.
How can something so wrong feel so right?
[music continues]
"And the committee gave its highest praises
"to Dr. Maxwell Deter
whose brilliant techniques are extremely promising."
You forgot slow and frustrating.
[knocking on door]
Something's going on and I needed someone to talk to.
You seemed like the most logical person.
Thank God you're listed in the phone book.
Do you have any fresh coffee?
'This could be an all-nighter.'
Okay, where's the best place to work?
The sofa, fine.
Um..
There-there's a cream soda in the refrigerator.
Help yourself. I-it's your favorite.
And you keep it in stock? Oh, nice.
Thanks for thinking of me.
I'm always thinking of you.
I-I mean, you always keep me thinking
uh, on my toes.
[whooshing]
Is there an open window?
I don't think so.
So, is your girlfriend okay with our friendship?
Superman mentioned you had one.
Yeah, she understands my passion.
Uh, for-for work.
Does she share it?
Completely.
- This is just so frustrating. - Tell me about it.
This investigation. Superman gave me this pod.
It's got seeds in it like the ones
that were found at the murder scene.
I think I found the plant that it came from.
You did?
Listen, I-I really don't think
we shouldn't be talking about this.
Why not?
Oh, I-I really don't want you
to get stressed out.
You know, stress might make you--
I'm fine.
Now, there are pods like this
on a plant at the hospital
right in front of this secret gate.
- Secret gate? - That's how I got out.
And there is something very weird
going on with Dr. Mendenhall.
Two of his patients have had strokes since I've been there.
So, I did some digging around
and I discovered that
in the last year
he had three other patients
who suffered from strokes. These are their names.
I thought maybe you could check them out or something.
- You're giving me that look. - What look?
That "Lois has gone off the deep end
in pursuit of an angle" look.
I-I just don't think we should rush into anything.
Well, sometimes you have to rush.
Uh, and sometimes you have to be careful.
- I am careful. - You are never careful.
And you always walk on eggshells.
Why.. But I'm just trying to be thorough.
What, I am not?
What, no.. Why did you say that?
Say what?
That I always walk on eggshells.
You said that I always walk on eggshells.
How would you know I always do anything
unless you remembered that I do.
I don't know, I don't know how I know I know.
I just know that this conversation is driving me nuts.
Goodnight.
[instrumental music]
[door closes]
The sign.
Yes!
Thank you. Thank you.
Lois.
Superman.
Do you need a lift?
Do you have a car?
No, I mean...a lift.
[instrumental music]
This is amazing.
I always knew I was meant to fly.
Yes, Lois, you were.
You seem very sure.
I am.
You're the strongest man in the world
but there's such gentleness in your eyes.
(Dr. Mendenhall) Yes, I got your money.
We're all set on this end.
No more editorials tying your business to Intergang
because by tomorrow
Perry White will be dead.
[dramatic music]
I thought you had a session with Dr. Mendenhall this morning?
- I don't want to go. - Why not?
I'm having this vague, unsettled feeling
and it really scares me.
Well, that vague, unsettled feeling
is what Dr. Mendenhall's trying to cure.
- Dr. Deter-- - Uh, let's make it Max.
I think with the level of trust we have going
we're on a first-name basis.
Alright, Max.
We do have trust, right?
You trust that I'd never let anything or anyone harm you?
Yes.
Then trust me and go.
You don't want to keep Mendenhall waiting.
Thank you, for everything.
[instrumental music]
I'll- I'll take those.
[dramatic music]
[whistling]
[indistinct chatter]
Yo, Jimbo, beautiful day, isn't it? Incredible.
Beautiful day? CK, are you okay?
Lois thinks I'm a jerk. Ha ha.
[chuckles]
That's...great.
Ahh.
She snuck over to my place last night.
We talked, disagreed, even argued a little bit.
It's just like old times.
Oh, so, she remembered who you are?
Well, I'm sure it's on the tip of her tongue.
Anyway she's been snooping around
the center looking for a story.
So, she brought me a list of
Dr. Mendenhall's patients
who supposedly all had strokes.
This is a story?
Just run the names, see if anything pops up.
You got it.
[telephone rings]
Clark Kent.
Mr. Kent, Dr. Deter.
Yeah, you know I thought that we had an understanding about Lois.
We do.
Cutting off communication with her means
no visits, no calls and no bouquets
with "Thinking of you" notes.
Come on, they were only flowers.
(Dr. Deter) 'Anything can set her off.'
She's suffering from acute paranoia this morning.
It's as if something happened last night that spooked her.
- Well, what do you mean? - She's delusional.
Afraid of the center, of Dr. Mendenhall.
'It's like we've taken three steps back.'
What do you want me to do?
If she contacts you, don't try to reason with her.
- Don't even talk to her. - What?
'Well, I know it sounds callous.'
'But these delusions have to be handled'
at the professional level or there could be
serious damage.
Do we have an understanding, Mr. Kent?
Yeah...for now.
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
Uh, Clark, uh, son, uh
I need your advice about something.
Uh, well, uh..
My personal life is a mess.
If you don't mind the blind leading the blind?
Sally just called.
And she wants to make dinner for me tonight
to, well, to thank me for the other day.
And, well, I-I don't know if I'm ready for this.
My advice?
Seize the moment, chief
because you never know when your relationship's
gonna get hit with a busted up wedding
a psychopathic killer, amnesia or multiple personalities.
[sighs] Go to dinner, chief.
You've, uh, seen it all, haven't you, son?
I hope so.
What else could there be?
[telephone rings]
- Yeah? - Clark, Lois.
I have this feeling there's about to be another murder.
- Murder? - 'And I think I'm involved.'
I saw it all on TV.
[dramatic music]
On TV?
(Lois) 'Yeah, well, kind of.'
It was more like binoculars, but it was definitely me.
You saw yourself
through binoculars killing someone on TV?
And Dr. Mendenhall's involved and who knows who else?
Maybe the nurses.
Why do I want to sing the "Battle Hymn Of The Republic?"
Lois, I'm-I'm really sorry
but I-I really can't be talking to you about this.
- What do you mean? - Maybe Dr. Mendenhall can help.
But he's the one who wants me to sing
the "Battle Hymn Of The Republic."
'He's the one with the binoculars.'
Lois, I'm really sorry.
But I-I-I have to go.
I promise I'll talk to you soon.
Clark!
[dramatic music]
[sighs]
[instrumental "Battle Hymn Of The Republic"]
- Oh, I'm sorry, CK. - That's alright.
Um, CK, I checked out those names Lois gave you.
And?
Um, well, she was right about one thing
they all suffered strokes.
Oh, here's a list of the patients
that were treated by Dr. Mendenhall
and these are the dates they were shipped off
to county general.
"May 25th
July 17th.."
Wait-wait, these are right on the dates that..
The vice president of Sun Construction
was gunned down on May 23rd.
They never found his killer. July 15th--
The head of Ameritech Labs killed when his house blew up.
And last week, there've been two more murders
and two more stroke victims.
Maybe Lois wasn't imagining things.
Lois Lane, please.
Are you sure? She was just in her room.
Hey, Clark! Hey!
Let's grab some lunch.
Can't, chief. Gotta run.
Mr. Kent, she's not to have any visitors.
I need to see Lois.
She's resting and Dr. Mendenhall said
she's wasn't to be disturbed.
[dramatic music]
- I don't understand. - Yeah.
[instrumental "Battle Hymn Of The Republic"]
You know, once you get past our political differences
well, we've really got quite a bit in common.
We, well, we both love the king.
[instrumental "Battle Hymn Of The Republic"]
We got older children.
[tires screeching]
Hey!
Whoa!
- All you alright, Mr. White? - Yeah.
But you know that's twice in two days
I almost bought the farm.
I get the feeling this
is not a coincidence.
Lois?
Superman?
Are you alright?
What am I doing here?
It's time we found out.
Clark is waiting for you.
[door opens]
Lois, how are you feeling?
Much better, now that Perry White is dead.
You did very well, my dear.
And you'll be happy to know
that this is your final treatment.
[dramatic music]
It's over, Mendenhall.
Those things should match the red marks
'on Agnes and Homer's temples.'
I'm sure you've got some pretty interesting
programming for this gadget.
Elias, what they said is true?
- It was business. - It was murder.
'There was a time when the center was losing money.'
I simply found a way to get through the hard times.
By using your patients as killers for hire?
You'd be amazed how poorly
one is rewarded for conventional research.
I hear the prison laundry pays worse.
What are you doing?
[instrumental "Battle Hymn Of The Republic"]
Calling in the sheep.
[music on PA]
It's the music. Turn it off.
[gunshots]
Stay with Lois.
[music continues]
[dramatic music]
[grunts]
I want a complete list of everyone who hired you.
'Or else I'll have them pump "Battle Hymn Of The Republic"'
into your cell day and night.
I can't believe Mendenhall was using his patients.
I knew nothing about this.
- You guys alright? - Uh, yeah.
Luckily, Superman showed up.
I'd better go talk to the police.
Lois, how are you doing?
Okay.
Boy, for a minute there I felt like we were back
covering that prison riot.
- That...prison riot? - Sure, you remember.
We smuggled ourselves inside to talk to the leader
and the guards panicked and opened fire
and I was wearing that blue silk blouse
with the pin on the lapel.
Clark. Clark, I remember.
A-all this craziness must have jarred my memory.
It's like the floodgates opened and it's all coming back.
- Lois Lane, Clark Kent. - There you go.
We're partners at the Planet.
I like spicy Chinese food.
Yes.
Oh, and one more thing. I think I'm in love.
I know you are.
Is it that obvious?
Yes.
Well, don't tell him. I haven't said anything yet.
Him?
The man who threw me a lifeline
and pulled me back into this world.
Dr. Maxwell Deter.
