00:00:18,293 --> 00:00:20,873
So far, between your stuff
and my stuff
6
00:00:20,210 --> 00:00:22,668
we've got two coffeepots,
two irons, two toasters
7
00:00:22,751 --> 00:00:24,251
'two blenders,
and two crock pots.'
8
00:00:24,335 --> 00:00:26,376
I don't even know
what a crock pot does.
9
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:28,710
It takes up room
and collects dust.
10
00:00:32,043 --> 00:00:33,960
You know, honey, I could have
this entire room
11
00:00:34,043 --> 00:00:35,960
wallpapered in about
three seconds if I could
just--
12
00:00:36,043 --> 00:00:38,460
No, no, no. Just do it
the old-fashioned way.
13
00:00:38,543 --> 00:00:40,168
According to "Newlywed" magazine
14
00:00:40,251 --> 00:00:41,501
these kind of projects
are important
15
00:00:41,585 --> 00:00:42,918
to the bonding process.
16
00:00:43,001 --> 00:00:45,376
Somehow, when I think of
newlyweds bonding
17
00:00:45,460 --> 00:00:47,835
wallpaper is not the first
thing
that comes to mind.
18
00:00:50,876 --> 00:00:53,543
Oh, Clark,
this is so exciting.
19
00:00:53,626 --> 00:00:54,960
Our first place.
20
00:00:56,460 --> 00:00:58,001
Maybe we can finally settle down
21
00:00:58,463 --> 00:01:00,043
and start acting
like a normal couple.

- Hello?
- Lois Lane, Elroy Sikes.
25
00:01:16,251 --> 00:01:18,751
How ya doin'?
Hey, I hear you got hitched.
26
00:01:18,835 --> 00:01:21,168
Sikes. I thought you were in--
27
00:01:21,251 --> 00:01:22,918
'Prison?
Ah, naw, I just got
paroled.'
28
00:01:23,001 --> 00:01:24,293
Hey, but, listen, don't worry
29
00:01:24,376 --> 00:01:26,376
I'm willing to let
bygones be bygones.
30
00:01:26,460 --> 00:01:27,960
Great. Have a nice life.
31
00:01:28,043 --> 00:01:29,710
No, no, no. Wait a second.
32
00:01:29,793 --> 00:01:31,543
I know who dusted
Big Mo Zabrinski.
33
00:01:31,626 --> 00:01:33,585
'Plus, I know
how it went down.'
34
00:01:33,668 --> 00:01:36,001
I got it from a bunkmate
on the inside.
35
00:01:36,463 --> 00:01:38,501
- I'm listening.
- 'You want more.'
36
00:01:38,585 --> 00:01:40,418
Uh, meet me in Centennial Park
in half an hour.
37
00:01:40,501 --> 00:01:41,835
'And don't forget
my lunch money.'
38
00:01:41,918 --> 00:01:43,873
[sighs]
39
00:01:46,335 --> 00:01:48,043
She's coming, professor.
40
00:01:48,873 --> 00:01:49,585
Of course she is.
41
00:01:49,668 --> 00:01:54,043
The great Lois Lane could never
pass up a scoop like this.
42
00:01:54,873 --> 00:01:55,376
You know what to do, right?
43
00:01:55,460 --> 00:01:56,668
Yeah.
44
00:01:59,873 --> 00:02:01,918
Get Lane to threaten me
so we can blackmail her.
45
00:02:02,001 --> 00:02:03,543
Ha ha. Piece of cake.
46
00:02:03,626 --> 00:02:05,418

Cut Sikes in for
a bigger piece of the cake.
49
00:02:15,418 --> 00:02:17,418
- I'm going to go with you.
- I'll be fine.
50
00:02:17,501 --> 00:02:18,751
Sikes has been
a source for years.
51
00:02:18,835 --> 00:02:20,418
And besides,
he's kind of squirrely.
52
00:02:20,501 --> 00:02:22,001
If he sees anybody else,
he'll bolt.
53
00:02:22,463 --> 00:02:23,751
Well, I'll, then I'll
just
hide in the bushes.
54
00:02:23,835 --> 00:02:25,960
I-I just don't
want you to go
alone.
55
00:02:26,043 --> 00:02:27,626
Clark, honey.
56
00:02:27,710 --> 00:02:29,751
You're not suggesting
I stop following my own leads
57
00:02:29,835 --> 00:02:33,168
just because
we're married now, are you?
58
00:02:33,251 --> 00:02:36,168
- No, but--
- Good. I'll be back soon.
59
00:02:38,793 --> 00:02:39,960

Hey-hey, wait a minute.
71

Hey, relax, Lois,
it's not loaded.
72
00:03:32,463 --> 00:03:33,751
It's for
demonstration
purposes only.
73
00:03:33,835 --> 00:03:35,463
Now, guns aren't something
to fool around with.

you're gonna break a nail?

how Big Mo was offed, right?

'Listen. Oka-okay, okay.
So, I'm Big Mo, right?'

for ratting on me.

a little higher, please?

and then all of a sudden..

I don't know what happened.

care to make a statement?'

What's the DA doing here?
107
00:05:41,418 --> 00:05:44,418
The DA's here because he takes
murder very seriously, Mr.
Kent.
108
00:05:44,501 --> 00:05:46,793
Murder? There wasn't even
a clip in the gun.
109
00:05:46,876 --> 00:05:49,873
This is ridiculous.
She's innocent and you know
it.
110
00:05:49,210 --> 00:05:50,585
Do I?
111
00:05:50,668 --> 00:05:52,543
She's got gunpowder
burns on her hand
112
00:05:52,626 --> 00:05:54,463
'and a dubious history
with the victim.'
113
00:05:54,168 --> 00:05:56,043
That's enough to hold her over
for questioning.
114
00:05:56,873 --> 00:05:57,626
Now, if you'll excuse me.
115
00:05:57,710 --> 00:05:59,793
This is my wife
we're talking about here.
116
00:05:59,876 --> 00:06:01,960
I'm warning you, do not try
and turn this into
117
00:06:02,043 --> 00:06:03,793
some kind of campaign stunt.
118
00:06:03,876 --> 00:06:07,460
I suggest you keep your
emotions in check, Mr. Kent.
119
00:06:07,543 --> 00:06:10,293
You obviously have no idea
who you're dealing with here.
120
00:06:10,376 --> 00:06:12,210
Yeah, neither do you.
121
00:06:13,793 --> 00:06:15,210

I'll be okay.

I know it.

We've been in worse jams
than this before.

00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,168
I think I can handle
a couple of nights
127
00:06:26,251 --> 00:06:28,251
on the inside until I'm cleared.
128
00:06:28,335 --> 00:06:30,293
Just have a little faith
in the justice system.
129
00:06:30,376 --> 00:06:31,710
Isn't that
what you always tell me?
130
00:06:33,668 --> 00:06:37,251
Every murder in this city
deserves our full attention.
131
00:06:37,335 --> 00:06:38,793
It doesn't matter
who the victim is
132
00:06:38,876 --> 00:06:41,668
'or who the suspected
perpetrator is.'
133
00:06:41,751 --> 00:06:44,001
Nobody is above the law
in Metropolis.
134
00:06:44,463 --> 00:06:47,168
Not even a well-respected
figure like Lois Lane.
135
00:06:47,251 --> 00:06:51,876
That is why I will be
personally
overseeing this investigation.
136
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,460
Does this have anything
to do with the fact that
137
00:06:53,543 --> 00:06:56,001
you're trailing by twelve
points
in the governor's race?
138
00:06:57,001 --> 00:06:58,543
The DA has taken on this case
139
00:06:58,626 --> 00:07:01,293
because it is important,
not because it's political.
140
00:07:01,376 --> 00:07:04,043
Thank you. There will be no
more
questions at this time.
141

This is almost too easy.
Kill Sikes, frame Lois.

Maneuver the DA into
prosecuting
her. I'm bored.

Alright, Wolcott.

00:07:28,793 --> 00:07:30,793
Time for phase two.
150
00:07:30,876 --> 00:07:32,418
Is it ready?

00:07:39,793 --> 00:07:41,585
Do you see them, too?
155
00:07:41,668 --> 00:07:44,335
Oh, yeah, the image targets
the cerebral cortex directly.
156
00:07:44,418 --> 00:07:46,418
Anyone in the vicinity
will think that they're
seeing
157
00:07:46,501 --> 00:07:49,168
the butterflies or anything
else
we want them to see.
158
00:07:49,251 --> 00:07:52,668
- I feel like a proud father.
- Gee, professor, thank you.
159
00:07:52,751 --> 00:07:55,043
Not you, Wolcott.
The hallucinator.
160
00:07:55,873 --> 00:07:57,873
I spent years in prison
developing it.
161
00:07:57,210 --> 00:07:58,710
Finally it's ready
to be implemented.
162
00:08:02,463 --> 00:08:03,293
Aw.

[stammering]
I don't know.
It must be a glitch.
166
00:08:20,585 --> 00:08:23,960
You were my assistant for years.
You must have learned something.

- That-that's not the
problem.
- Then find the problem!
169
00:08:29,376 --> 00:08:31,418
I don't just want
Lois Lane behind bars.

00:08:31,501 --> 00:08:33,460
I want that cocky little
reporter

00:08:33,543 --> 00:08:35,335
to rot in a hell-hole prison
172
00:08:35,418 --> 00:08:38,293

worthless life.

'Turn to your left.
Your other left.'
175
00:08:46,418 --> 00:08:48,168
'Thank you.'
176
00:08:48,251 --> 00:08:49,585
'Just relax your thumb.'
177
00:08:49,668 --> 00:08:52,793
[dramatic music]
178
00:08:52,876 --> 00:08:54,543
'Personal effects, please.'
179
00:08:54,626 --> 00:08:56,585
[dramatic music]
180
00:09:04,543 --> 00:09:06,418
[intense music]
181
00:09:06,501 --> 00:09:08,751
(female #1)
Matron!
182
00:09:08,835 --> 00:09:13,001
(female #2)
'Hey, where's my
magazine, matron?'
183
00:09:13,463 --> 00:09:15,585
So, Lane,
how'd you like check-in?
184
00:09:15,668 --> 00:09:17,293
It was everything I expected.
185
00:09:17,376 --> 00:09:19,710
Humiliating, embarrassing,
degrading.
186
00:09:19,793 --> 00:09:22,001
I told them to go easy on you.
187
00:09:22,463 --> 00:09:24,335
If you or the indifferent
system you serve
188
00:09:24,418 --> 00:09:26,751
think I'm going to crack,
think again.
189
00:09:26,835 --> 00:09:29,668
I'm an investigative
reporter.
I'm used to tough jams.
190
00:09:29,751 --> 00:09:33,043
I thrive on society's
tawdry underbelly.
191
00:09:33,873 --> 00:09:35,210
Do you think I could get
a hypoallergenic pillow?
192
00:09:35,293 --> 00:09:36,668
No.
193
00:09:36,751 --> 00:09:38,043
Well, the human spirit
is stronger than--
194
00:09:38,873 --> 00:09:40,460
Than what?
195
00:09:40,543 --> 00:09:41,960
Than you'd expect.
196
00:09:42,043 --> 00:09:43,418
I just thought
that would be something
197
00:09:43,501 --> 00:09:46,873
you'd want to know
about the human spirit.
198
00:09:46,210 --> 00:09:50,001
I'm a social worker. I don't
care about the human spirit.
199
00:09:50,463 --> 00:09:51,335
[gasps]
200
00:09:53,918 --> 00:09:56,376
I wouldn't mess with her
if I was you.
201
00:09:56,460 --> 00:09:58,585
She abuses the prisoners?
202
00:09:58,668 --> 00:10:00,501
- You see that?
- She did that?
203
00:10:00,585 --> 00:10:03,376
- No. My late husband.
- He's dead?
204
00:10:03,460 --> 00:10:05,376
No. He was due here
two hours ago.
205
00:10:07,001 --> 00:10:09,168
Oh.
206
00:10:09,251 --> 00:10:11,418
Well, I'm
an investigative reporter.
207
00:10:11,501 --> 00:10:15,001
Who thrives on underbellies.
I know.
208
00:10:16,585 --> 00:10:21,376
See, I'm using my brief time
here in...stir..
209
00:10:21,460 --> 00:10:24,043
...to explore it from
the accused's perspective.
210
00:10:24,873 --> 00:10:27,626
Would you mind telling me what
an average day inside is like?
211
00:10:27,710 --> 00:10:32,418
Average? Same as every other day
of every month in every year.
212
00:10:32,501 --> 00:10:36,793
This is my tenth appeal
in ten years. You'll see.
213
00:10:36,876 --> 00:10:41,335
Well, actually, I probably
won't
because, uh, I'm innocent.
214
00:10:42,918 --> 00:10:45,460
- And?
- And what?
215
00:10:45,543 --> 00:10:47,751
- I'm innocent.
- Oh. Oh, great.
216
00:10:47,835 --> 00:10:51,873
Well, I hope it works for you.
217
00:10:51,210 --> 00:10:52,751
But if it doesn't, miss.
218
00:10:52,835 --> 00:10:55,873
Maybe it's time
you got real here.
219
00:10:55,210 --> 00:11:00,960
'Cause this place is as real
and mean and forever as it
gets.
220
00:11:01,043 --> 00:11:02,251
[sighs]
221
00:11:06,168 --> 00:11:08,376
The caped crusader.
222
00:11:08,460 --> 00:11:11,463
That's Batman.
223
00:11:11,168 --> 00:11:14,793
- You alright?
- Well, you know me.
224
00:11:14,876 --> 00:11:16,335
The glass is always half full.
225
00:11:17,543 --> 00:11:18,793
I'm being serious.
226
00:11:18,876 --> 00:11:20,751
Seriously, this
is an opportunity
227
00:11:20,835 --> 00:11:23,918
a journalist never gets.
I'll be fine.
228
00:11:26,251 --> 00:11:30,168
Other than the fact that
I miss my husband.
229
00:11:32,751 --> 00:11:34,168
He misses you.
230
00:11:35,626 --> 00:11:37,293
We're newlyweds, you know.
231
00:11:39,463 --> 00:11:40,835
I know.
232
00:11:40,918 --> 00:11:42,960
I miss his arms.
233
00:11:43,043 --> 00:11:45,043
His neck.
234
00:11:45,873 --> 00:11:46,460
His lips.
235
00:11:46,543 --> 00:11:48,501
[instrumental music]
236
00:11:52,293 --> 00:11:53,626
So does he..
237
00:11:56,168 --> 00:11:59,293
...miss those things of yours.
238
00:11:59,376 --> 00:12:01,463
Wow.
239
00:12:01,168 --> 00:12:04,043
He's, um, working on getting
you
a first-class attorney
240
00:12:04,873 --> 00:12:05,376
'so you can get out of here.'
241
00:12:05,460 --> 00:12:06,876
Yeah, I've heard that before.
242
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,751
An attorney?
243
00:12:08,835 --> 00:12:12,835
I guess that means they don't
have any other suspects?
244
00:12:12,918 --> 00:12:16,873
You can see why
your husband is worried
245
00:12:16,210 --> 00:12:20,043
that this may be too tough
a situation here.
246
00:12:20,873 --> 00:12:23,460
If it is too tough,
all you have to do
247
00:12:23,543 --> 00:12:28,210
is say the word and he can
lift your spirits.
248
00:12:30,251 --> 00:12:31,793
He already has.
249
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,876
Well, I'd better go.
250
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,335
Thanks for stopping by.
251
00:12:47,543 --> 00:12:50,210
You really do have
friends in high places.
252
00:12:53,668 --> 00:12:56,168
(Clemmons)
'Ah, I'm still losing,
aren't I?'
253
00:12:56,251 --> 00:12:59,043
Not as bad as before putting
Lois Lane behind bars.
254
00:12:59,873 --> 00:13:00,376
- Really?
- Listen.
255
00:13:00,460 --> 00:13:01,960
The only profession
256
00:13:02,043 --> 00:13:03,960
voters hate worse than
politicians is reporters.
257
00:13:04,043 --> 00:13:06,251
You get a conviction
on her and they'll forget
258
00:13:06,335 --> 00:13:08,793
all about those three
high-profile cases you blew.
259
00:13:08,876 --> 00:13:11,793
- But what if she's innocent?
- We can't afford for her to
be.
260
00:13:11,876 --> 00:13:14,876
Ah! Superman, what a surprise!
261
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,463
Mr. District Attorney.
Oh, I hope you don't mind.
262
00:13:17,168 --> 00:13:19,751
I've taken the liberty
of inviting the press.
263
00:13:19,835 --> 00:13:21,251
Oh, I-I'm afraid
I-I don't--
264
00:13:21,335 --> 00:13:23,251
Smile, damn it.
Straighten your tie.
265
00:13:23,335 --> 00:13:25,460
Folks, thanks for coming
on such short notice.
266
00:13:25,543 --> 00:13:27,251
I just wanted to announce
that I have decided
267
00:13:27,335 --> 00:13:29,293
to help Mr. Clemmons
with his investigation
268
00:13:29,376 --> 00:13:30,585
into the Sikes case.
269
00:13:30,668 --> 00:13:32,460
Oh, that's great, Superman.
270
00:13:32,543 --> 00:13:35,460
Ha ha. Uh, wh-why?
271
00:13:35,543 --> 00:13:38,585
Because I want to get to
the truth as badly as you do.
272
00:13:38,668 --> 00:13:40,918
And you do want to get
to the truth, don't you?
273
00:13:44,001 --> 00:13:47,585
Of course, Superman. Absolutely.
274
00:13:47,668 --> 00:13:49,463
After all, just like you
275
00:13:49,168 --> 00:13:52,668
I stand for truth, justice
and the American way.
276
00:13:52,751 --> 00:13:55,793
Whatever you need, big fella.
Just name it.
277
00:13:55,876 --> 00:13:58,043
- I need Lois Lane.
- You got it.
278
00:14:00,293 --> 00:14:02,043
- Hmm?
- You want the truth.
279
00:14:02,873 --> 00:14:04,251
And she's the best I know
at uncovering it.
280
00:14:04,335 --> 00:14:05,626
Plus, in this case, I'd say
281
00:14:05,710 --> 00:14:07,918
she has a little bit
of added incentive.
282
00:14:08,001 --> 00:14:10,043
I'd consider it
a personal favor
283
00:14:10,873 --> 00:14:13,418
if you would release her
on her own recognizance.
284
00:14:13,501 --> 00:14:17,210
But, um, Lois Lane
is a murder suspect.
285
00:14:17,293 --> 00:14:22,460
Uh, I mean, we can't very well
have her just...walking around
286
00:14:22,543 --> 00:14:23,918
free as a jaybird.
287
00:14:24,001 --> 00:14:25,876
I'll give you
my personal guarantee
288
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,376
that she won't
try to skip town. How's that?
289
00:14:30,168 --> 00:14:31,460
Yeah, but--
290
00:14:31,543 --> 00:14:34,376
You do trust me.
Don't you, Mr. Clemmons?
291
00:14:38,918 --> 00:14:41,210
She's all yours, Superman.
292
00:14:41,293 --> 00:14:43,335
Welcome to my team.
293
00:14:46,210 --> 00:14:48,873
[intense music]
294
00:14:49,710 --> 00:14:51,626
Spineless fool!
295
00:14:55,463 --> 00:14:56,793
Memo to self.
296
00:14:56,876 --> 00:14:58,960
Resist despair.
297
00:14:59,043 --> 00:15:02,001
Turn lemons...into lemonade.
298
00:15:03,585 --> 00:15:06,168
No, this is good.
This is good.
299
00:15:06,251 --> 00:15:08,960
Let Miss Lane
have a taste of freedom.
300
00:15:09,043 --> 00:15:12,751
Give her the cruelest
of all emotions, hope.
301
00:15:12,835 --> 00:15:16,168
Then we'll dash that hope
as quickly as it came.
302
00:15:16,251 --> 00:15:20,001
And tighten the noose
around her lovely neck
303
00:15:20,463 --> 00:15:22,376
a little tighter.
304
00:15:29,001 --> 00:15:30,876
Okay. Let's get down to work.
305
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,210
Okay.
306
00:15:33,793 --> 00:15:35,376
Now, honey
307
00:15:35,460 --> 00:15:37,418
I don't know about you,
but last night was hell for
me.
308
00:15:39,463 --> 00:15:41,376
So if you can't take it..
309
00:15:41,460 --> 00:15:42,626
I'm okay.
310
00:15:44,251 --> 00:15:46,043
You-you would tell me,
wouldn't you?
311
00:15:46,873 --> 00:15:47,293
Because you know that
I would never
312
00:15:47,376 --> 00:15:48,585
put up with anything
hurting you.
313
00:15:48,668 --> 00:15:50,876
I completely know that.
314
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,168
So, let's just
figure this mess
out
315
00:15:53,251 --> 00:15:56,793
and get me cleared
so I can be home with
you.
316
00:15:56,876 --> 00:15:58,585
Okay.
317
00:15:58,668 --> 00:16:02,873
So, I was standing...right here
318
00:16:02,210 --> 00:16:05,873
and Sikes was...a little
closer,
right there.
319
00:16:06,876 --> 00:16:08,460
And he tossed me the gun.
320
00:16:08,543 --> 00:16:09,960
Which you thought wasn't loaded.
321
00:16:10,043 --> 00:16:12,751
I saw him take the clip out.
322
00:16:12,835 --> 00:16:14,668
There must have been a bullet
in the chamber.
323
00:16:14,751 --> 00:16:16,335
Okay. Alright. So then..
324
00:16:16,418 --> 00:16:19,918
...you pointed the gun at him
and it just went off?
325
00:16:20,001 --> 00:16:23,585
Oh, God.
What on earth was I thinking?
326
00:16:23,668 --> 00:16:26,463
My mother spanked me
when I pointed a water pistol
327
00:16:26,168 --> 00:16:27,585
at my sister.
328
00:16:27,668 --> 00:16:29,418
I was thinking, "Get the
story."
That's what I was thinking.
329
00:16:29,501 --> 00:16:32,751
I wasn't even paying
attention
to where the gun was.
330
00:16:32,835 --> 00:16:34,293
What are you doing?
331
00:16:34,376 --> 00:16:36,501
The police never recovered
the bullet shell.
332
00:16:36,585 --> 00:16:37,793
Since the bullet
fired by itself
333
00:16:37,876 --> 00:16:40,876
maybe the answer
is in the missing shell.
334
00:16:47,543 --> 00:16:48,835
Aha!
335
00:16:59,168 --> 00:17:01,293
I'm gonna take this to the
crime
lab and have it analyzed.
336
00:17:01,376 --> 00:17:03,335
Miss Lane?
Mr. Kent?
337
00:17:05,543 --> 00:17:07,251
Yes, detective?
That's us.
338
00:17:07,335 --> 00:17:10,001
Mr. and Mrs. Lane, Kent.
Lane and Kent.
339
00:17:10,463 --> 00:17:12,710
- How are you?
- Fine. Just fine.
340
00:17:12,793 --> 00:17:14,501
The District Attorney
and I both hope
341
00:17:14,585 --> 00:17:17,626
you enjoyed your apricot
muffin
and cappuccino this morning?
342
00:17:17,710 --> 00:17:21,376
- You followed us?
- Accompanied.
343
00:17:21,460 --> 00:17:24,210
From behind.
You two are fast
walkers.
344
00:17:24,293 --> 00:17:25,501
Took us a minute to catch up.
345
00:17:25,585 --> 00:17:28,793
- Oh, gee, sorry.
- Oh, that's okay.
346
00:17:28,876 --> 00:17:32,001
The DA's office felt it
might
reassure you, Miss Lane
347
00:17:32,463 --> 00:17:33,793
'to feel our presence.'
348
00:17:34,793 --> 00:17:36,335
Everywhere.
349
00:17:36,418 --> 00:17:38,251
Well, thank you.
350
00:17:38,335 --> 00:17:41,668
- Hope it isn't a burden.
- It isn't.
351
00:17:41,751 --> 00:17:43,501
See you.
352
00:17:43,585 --> 00:17:44,918
Constantly.
353
00:17:47,876 --> 00:17:49,501
It's okay, Lois.
354
00:17:49,585 --> 00:17:51,835
So that's how it's gonna be.
355
00:17:51,918 --> 00:17:55,168
I may be out, but they'll
never leave me alone.
356
00:17:55,251 --> 00:17:57,043
Once you're marked
as a criminal
357
00:17:57,873 --> 00:17:59,463
they treat you
like a criminal forever.
358
00:17:59,168 --> 00:18:01,210
Hey, you are no criminal.
359
00:18:01,293 --> 00:18:02,418
[sighs]
360
00:18:02,501 --> 00:18:04,001
You're my wife.
361
00:18:08,376 --> 00:18:12,168
I-I won't comment
on an ongoing investigation.
362
00:18:12,251 --> 00:18:13,876
Other than to say
that we're gathering
363
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,043
new evidence all the time
and that Lois Lane
364
00:18:17,873 --> 00:18:19,751
remains the prime suspect
in this case.
365
00:18:19,835 --> 00:18:21,585
Tell me I didn't vote
for that guy.
366
00:18:22,543 --> 00:18:24,043
Okay, thanks.
367
00:18:25,501 --> 00:18:27,210
The police did a scan
on the bullet casing
368
00:18:27,293 --> 00:18:29,460
and couldn't find
anything suspicious.
369
00:18:29,543 --> 00:18:30,585
Great.
370
00:18:30,668 --> 00:18:32,463
Meanwhile, Clemmons is using me
371
00:18:32,168 --> 00:18:34,876
as a stepping stone
to the governor's mansion.
372
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,210
Over my dead body.
373
00:18:39,335 --> 00:18:42,293
Guys, I got a hold
of Sikes' bank records.
374
00:18:42,376 --> 00:18:46,835
Turns out he deposited 5000 in
cash the day before you shot
h..
375
00:18:46,918 --> 00:18:50,460
Before that...
gun somehow shot him.
376
00:18:51,918 --> 00:18:54,168
A payoff to set me up?
377
00:18:54,251 --> 00:18:55,418
Could be.
378
00:18:55,501 --> 00:18:56,751
Except that
if Sikes was in on it
379
00:18:56,835 --> 00:18:58,251
how come he ended up dead?
380
00:18:58,335 --> 00:19:00,463
Maybe he wasn't
in on everything.
381
00:19:00,168 --> 00:19:03,668
Maybe someone wanted to frame
me
and kill him at the same time.
382
00:19:03,751 --> 00:19:05,960
Jimmy, I want you to go through
all my old case notes involving
383
00:19:06,043 --> 00:19:08,876
Sikes. Get me a list of
everyone
he helped me put away.
384
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,876
You got it.
385
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:15,501
Uh, Lois, I want you to meet
a good friend of mine.
386
00:19:15,585 --> 00:19:17,043
Angela Winters.
387
00:19:17,873 --> 00:19:18,543
Well, it's a pleasure
to meet you.
388
00:19:18,626 --> 00:19:19,876
A pleasure to meet you, too.
389
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,835
And I wish it were under
better circumstances.
390
00:19:22,918 --> 00:19:24,751
- And you must be..
- Oh, Clark Kent.
391
00:19:24,835 --> 00:19:26,335
I covered the Venturi trial
last month.
392
00:19:26,418 --> 00:19:28,376
And I have to say, I think
that your defense strategy
393
00:19:28,460 --> 00:19:29,918
was absolutely brilliant.
394
00:19:30,001 --> 00:19:34,001
Thank you. Of course, it helped
that Mr. Venturi was innocent.
395
00:19:35,873 --> 00:19:37,793
Uh, so is Lois.
396
00:19:37,876 --> 00:19:39,873
That's what I'm here to prove.
397
00:19:39,210 --> 00:19:40,626
I'm a little confused here.
398
00:19:40,710 --> 00:19:42,873
Aren't we jumping the gun
a little?
399
00:19:42,210 --> 00:19:44,873
I haven't even been charged
with anything yet.
400
00:19:44,210 --> 00:19:46,210
"Yet" being
the operative
word.
401
00:19:46,293 --> 00:19:48,585
The DA's trying to
convene
a grand jury now.
402
00:19:48,668 --> 00:19:51,463
Apparently they've uncovered
some new evidence.
403
00:19:51,168 --> 00:19:52,585
What new evidence?
404
00:19:52,668 --> 00:19:55,873
I heard something about some
woman named Danko
405
00:19:55,210 --> 00:19:56,835
and a videotape.
406
00:19:56,918 --> 00:19:58,376
A videotape?
407
00:19:58,460 --> 00:20:01,918
In the meantime, I have a lot
of catching up to do.
408
00:20:02,001 --> 00:20:04,585
Lois...I need you to tell me
409
00:20:04,668 --> 00:20:07,460
everything you know
about Elroy Sikes.
410
00:20:10,463 --> 00:20:11,418
Well, just keep digging, Jimmy.
411
00:20:11,501 --> 00:20:13,168
And don't forget to check
the old archives.
412
00:20:13,251 --> 00:20:14,876
I upgraded my computer
a couple years ago.
413
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,460
I think I put
the old files on disk.
414
00:20:17,543 --> 00:20:19,293
Thanks. Call me.
415
00:20:21,501 --> 00:20:23,585
- Lois, h-honey, honey.
- I'm fine, really.
416
00:20:23,668 --> 00:20:26,751
Yeah, o-okay, but why don't
you
just relax for like a minute
417
00:20:26,835 --> 00:20:28,543
or even 30 seconds?
418
00:20:28,626 --> 00:20:32,210
Hon.. Look, honey, I
wallpapered
the entire house by myself
419
00:20:32,293 --> 00:20:34,251
super speed. You can yell at me
for a little while.
420
00:20:34,335 --> 00:20:35,793
Yell at you?
I love the wallpaper.
421
00:20:35,876 --> 00:20:38,543
Oh, I think I have
another box of files
upstairs.
422
00:20:39,585 --> 00:20:41,210
[doorbell rings]
423
00:20:41,293 --> 00:20:42,626
I'll get it.
424
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,335
Mom, dad.
425
00:20:47,418 --> 00:20:49,793
Oh, Clark.
426
00:20:49,876 --> 00:20:51,460
- Are you alright?
- Mm-hmm.
427
00:20:53,293 --> 00:20:54,710
[sighs]
428
00:20:56,293 --> 00:20:58,418
We took the first flight out
as soon as we heard.
429
00:20:58,501 --> 00:20:59,543
How's Lois?
430
00:20:59,626 --> 00:21:01,876
- She's okay.
- Oh, it's awful.
431
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,835
The moment you move
into your first home
432
00:21:03,918 --> 00:21:07,418
at last able to put down
roots
and the love of your life is
433
00:21:07,501 --> 00:21:09,376
'wrenched away from you
like some common criminal.'
434
00:21:09,460 --> 00:21:10,710
Uh, mom.
435
00:21:10,793 --> 00:21:12,793
We must never show
our fears to..
436
00:21:15,376 --> 00:21:16,668
...Lois.
437
00:21:17,918 --> 00:21:22,668
Oh, honey...I am so sorry.
438
00:21:22,751 --> 00:21:25,460
It's okay, Martha. Really.
439
00:21:25,543 --> 00:21:27,751
- 'Do your folks know?'
- We tried to call them.
440
00:21:27,835 --> 00:21:29,376
It seems they're on safari.
441
00:21:29,460 --> 00:21:31,543
Leave it to them
to attempt a reconciliation
442
00:21:31,626 --> 00:21:33,418
in a country in the middle
of a civil war.
443
00:21:33,501 --> 00:21:36,751
Well, we're gonna go check
into the Metropolis Hotel.
444
00:21:36,835 --> 00:21:39,376
You need anything,
you call us. We'll be here.
445
00:21:39,460 --> 00:21:44,168
Thanks. Clark, why don't you
give them a ride?
446
00:21:44,251 --> 00:21:45,918
Are you sure you're gonna be
okay here by yourself?
447
00:21:46,001 --> 00:21:49,585
I keep telling you I'm fine.
Besides I've got a lot to do.
448
00:21:52,751 --> 00:21:54,251
Okay.
449
00:21:58,873 --> 00:22:00,251
[intense music]
450
00:22:08,463 --> 00:22:09,460
Oh, yeah.

[cell phone rings]
452
00:22:15,376 --> 00:22:16,668
[laughing]
453
00:22:20,335 --> 00:22:22,793
- She's alone.
- Excellent.
454
00:22:22,876 --> 00:22:24,585
[dramatic music]
455
00:22:35,168 --> 00:22:36,876
(male #3)
'Look out! She's got a gun.'
456
00:22:37,668 --> 00:22:39,335
'Lois Lane!'
457
00:22:40,335 --> 00:22:42,376
'Help!'
458
00:22:42,460 --> 00:22:44,793
Oh, my God!
It's Lois Lane!
459
00:22:44,876 --> 00:22:46,463
She's got a gun..
460
00:22:46,168 --> 00:22:47,918
[indistinct screaming]
461
00:22:51,751 --> 00:22:53,793
Sir.
462
00:22:53,876 --> 00:22:57,043
(male #4)
Help! Help!
She's got a gun!
463
00:22:57,873 --> 00:22:58,585

[intense music]
465
00:23:07,460 --> 00:23:09,668
Lois, hold on.
Wh-what are you..
466
00:23:18,876 --> 00:23:22,585
It worked! The
hallucination
didn't fluctuate.
467
00:23:22,668 --> 00:23:24,835
It may have fooled those
dullards in the street
468
00:23:24,918 --> 00:23:27,835
but it obviously
didn't fool Superman.
469
00:23:27,918 --> 00:23:30,001
If we're gonna succeed
in putting the final nail
470
00:23:30,463 --> 00:23:32,543
in Lois Lane's coffin,
we're gonna have to get
471
00:23:32,626 --> 00:23:36,463
Mr. Superpain-in-the-butt
out of the way.
472
00:23:36,168 --> 00:23:37,335
[scoffs]
Good luck.
473
00:23:37,418 --> 00:23:40,043
Luck has nothing
to do with it, Wolcott.
474
00:23:40,873 --> 00:23:42,751
Preparation is the key.
475
00:23:42,835 --> 00:23:45,543
And I've had years
of preparation.
476
00:23:45,626 --> 00:23:48,501
Years and years
in a nine by seven cell.
477
00:23:48,585 --> 00:23:51,043
Courtesy of Lois Lane.
478
00:23:51,873 --> 00:23:57,873
And now it's time to return
the favor with interest.
479
00:24:06,835 --> 00:24:08,210
[sighs]
Lois.
480
00:24:08,293 --> 00:24:09,960
Clark, what's the matter?
481

[indistinct police radio]
485
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,463
Miss Lane...I think
you'd better come with us.
486
00:24:32,626 --> 00:24:34,585
[intense music]
487
00:24:43,463 --> 00:24:45,001
This is ludicrous.
I never even left the house.
488
00:24:45,463 --> 00:24:47,210
Yeah, but, Lois,
even I thought it was
you
489
00:24:47,293 --> 00:24:48,918
until you walked
right through me.
490
00:24:49,001 --> 00:24:50,918
I-it must've been some kind
of
hologram or something
491
00:24:51,001 --> 00:24:53,585
but it was not like anything
I have ever seen before.
492
00:24:53,668 --> 00:24:55,626
(Martha)
'Are you sure there's nobody
who can vouch for you?'
493
00:24:55,710 --> 00:24:59,376
- A mailman? Anybody?
- No one. I was all by
myself.
494
00:24:59,460 --> 00:25:01,001
So here I am, back in jail
495
00:25:01,463 --> 00:25:03,293
waiting for the grand jury
to decide my fate.
496
00:25:03,376 --> 00:25:05,043
Do you have any idea
who might be after you?
497
00:25:05,873 --> 00:25:08,873
All I know is, whoever it is
has gone to a lot of trouble.
498
00:25:09,501 --> 00:25:11,960
Well, it's all just
circumstantial evidence,
right?
499
00:25:12,043 --> 00:25:16,626
I mean, Lois is innocent. Isn't
that the most important thing?
500
00:25:16,710 --> 00:25:19,418
- It should be.
- It will be.
501
00:25:20,876 --> 00:25:25,001
- The hearing's over already?
- Yes.
502
00:25:25,463 --> 00:25:28,668
Well, that was fast
...and not too fast.
503
00:25:28,751 --> 00:25:30,460
I mean, that's a positive sign?
504
00:25:30,543 --> 00:25:32,960
Sometimes, but not today.
505
00:25:33,043 --> 00:25:35,585
I'm afraid you're being
bound over for trial, Lois.
506
00:25:35,668 --> 00:25:38,376
On one count of harassment
with deadly intent
507
00:25:38,460 --> 00:25:40,960
'and one count of murder
in the first degree.'
508

Mr. Clemmons,
call your first witness.

'Check out those moves.'
516
00:26:11,751 --> 00:26:13,543
Then I heard people arguing.
517
00:26:13,626 --> 00:26:15,418
And being naturally inquisitive
518
00:26:15,501 --> 00:26:17,335
I sort of turned
the camera on them.
519
00:26:17,418 --> 00:26:22,418
Then, all of a sudden, boom!
I totally freaked.
520
00:26:22,501 --> 00:26:25,043
I mean, I never saw
anybody get killed before.
521
00:26:25,873 --> 00:26:27,460
Well, except on TV, I mean.
522
00:26:27,543 --> 00:26:29,418
Then, I'm sitting
in the restaurant
523
00:26:29,501 --> 00:26:31,960
minding my own business
524
00:26:32,043 --> 00:26:35,376
and there she is
...trying to gun me down,
too!
525
00:26:35,460 --> 00:26:38,463
Objection, Your Honor.
Move to strike.
526
00:26:38,168 --> 00:26:39,460
Overruled.
527
00:26:39,543 --> 00:26:41,710
Thank you, Miss Danko.
528
00:26:41,793 --> 00:26:43,668
'No further questions.'
529
00:26:46,418 --> 00:26:48,251
This is going better
than I thought.
530
00:26:49,293 --> 00:26:50,543
And I'm climbing in the polls.
531
00:26:50,626 --> 00:26:52,210
Don't get cocky.
532
00:26:52,293 --> 00:26:54,710
No comment.
No comment at this time.
533
00:26:54,793 --> 00:26:56,876
Thank you. Thank you
very much, gentlemen.
534
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,876
Ladies. Thank you.
Thank you.
535
00:26:59,835 --> 00:27:01,543
[cell phone rings]
536
00:27:01,626 --> 00:27:02,793
Yeah?
537
00:27:04,293 --> 00:27:05,585
It's him.
538
00:27:07,918 --> 00:27:09,460
Alright, who is this?
539
00:27:09,543 --> 00:27:11,418
This is your guardian angel.
540
00:27:11,501 --> 00:27:13,168
Now shut up and listen.
541
00:27:13,251 --> 00:27:15,876
You have to make that bullet
casing in evidence inventory
542
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,751
disappear today.
Do you understand?
543
00:27:18,835 --> 00:27:20,873
(Clemmons)
'Are you crazy?'
544
00:27:20,210 --> 00:27:22,501
'Tamper with evidence
in a capital case?'
545
00:27:22,585 --> 00:27:24,668
I can't compromise
myself like that.
546
00:27:24,751 --> 00:27:27,418
Oh, stop whining.
I hate it when you whine.
547
00:27:27,501 --> 00:27:29,293
Do you want to be governor
or don't you?
548
00:27:29,376 --> 00:27:33,873
- I'm simply saying--
- I gave you that videotape.
549
00:27:33,210 --> 00:27:35,668
I made your case.
550
00:27:35,751 --> 00:27:38,043
And I can unmake it
just as easily.
551
00:27:38,873 --> 00:27:40,918
- Do you want to win or not?
- Of course I want to win.
552
00:27:41,001 --> 00:27:43,418
Well, you won't if that
casing's
examined too thoroughly.
553
00:27:43,501 --> 00:27:45,501
So lose it, understand?
554
00:27:47,043 --> 00:27:49,168
And stop slouching.
555
00:27:49,251 --> 00:27:51,873
[intense music]
556
00:27:59,543 --> 00:28:01,585
Clark, son, it's late.
557
00:28:01,668 --> 00:28:03,543
Why don't you go on home
and get some shut-eye?
558
00:28:03,626 --> 00:28:05,335
Yeah. It's okay. Go ahead.
559
00:28:05,418 --> 00:28:07,793
I'll run this stuff on Sikes
over to you as soon as I'm
done.
560
00:28:07,876 --> 00:28:09,168
Yeah.
561
00:28:11,210 --> 00:28:12,626
The firing pin.
562
00:28:13,793 --> 00:28:14,835
C.K.?
563
00:28:14,918 --> 00:28:16,873
Every gun leaves a distinctive
564
00:28:16,210 --> 00:28:17,376
firing pin indentation
565
00:28:17,460 --> 00:28:18,876
on the rear of
the bullet casing.
566
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,460
Didn't the police lab
already check that out?
567
00:28:20,543 --> 00:28:22,001
- 'Metro.'
- Detective?
568
00:28:22,463 --> 00:28:24,251
- 'Yeah.'
- Yeah, hi. This is Clark
Kent.
569
00:28:24,335 --> 00:28:26,418
When your lab did
an analysis on the shell
570
00:28:26,501 --> 00:28:28,460
did they cross-match it
with the gun's firing pin?
571
00:28:28,543 --> 00:28:29,793
'Look, you got
the report already.'
572
00:28:29,876 --> 00:28:31,460
Yeah, I-I know, I know, I know.
573
00:28:31,543 --> 00:28:33,210
But since Lois says she never
pulled the trigger
574
00:28:33,293 --> 00:28:36,501
maybe the bullet was rigged
to fire by itself somehow.
575
00:28:36,585 --> 00:28:38,873
Y-yeah and if that's the case
576
00:28:38,210 --> 00:28:40,585
then the indentation
on the shell wouldn't match.
577
00:28:40,668 --> 00:28:43,251
- 'I'll check that out.'
- Okay, great. Thanks.
578
00:28:43,335 --> 00:28:46,168
Ha ha! Way to go, Clark.
579
00:28:46,251 --> 00:28:49,168
Unfortunately,
it's a waste of time.
580
00:28:49,251 --> 00:28:50,835
Angela, wh-what do you mean?
581
00:28:50,918 --> 00:28:53,210
I mean the bullet casing
is mysteriously missing
582
00:28:53,293 --> 00:28:56,293
from evidence inventory.
I just found out.
583
00:28:56,376 --> 00:28:58,168
(Jimmy)
How's that possible?
584
00:28:58,251 --> 00:28:59,960
Well, if I was
a suspicious
person
585
00:29:00,043 --> 00:29:02,168
I would say it
smacks
of conspiracy
586
00:29:02,251 --> 00:29:05,710
but...that even makes
me
more determined.
587
00:29:05,793 --> 00:29:09,168
Perry, tell me about Lois'
relationship with Sikes.
588
00:29:09,251 --> 00:29:10,835
I mean from way back when.
589
00:29:10,918 --> 00:29:12,793
Oh, well, you know, Sikes, uh..
590
00:29:12,876 --> 00:29:14,710
He was just one of Lois'
informants.
591
00:29:14,793 --> 00:29:16,168
Until he went to prison.
592
00:29:16,251 --> 00:29:18,543
Yeah, that was just
before you and Lois met.
593
00:29:18,626 --> 00:29:21,710
Uh, Sikes tipped Lois
on a baby-for-sale ring
594
00:29:21,793 --> 00:29:23,293
and she ran with the story.
595
00:29:23,376 --> 00:29:24,335
But..
596
00:29:24,418 --> 00:29:26,876
Sikes' info was a little shaky.
597
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,460
A lot of bigwigs
got wrongly implicated.
598
00:29:29,543 --> 00:29:31,543
Must've undermined
her credibility.
599
00:29:31,626 --> 00:29:34,463
Oh, hell happens
to the best of us.
600
00:29:34,168 --> 00:29:37,293
See, Sikes had always
been fairly reliable.
601
00:29:37,376 --> 00:29:38,835
I bet she was furious.
602
00:29:38,918 --> 00:29:41,463
Well, ballistic is
more like it, but then
603
00:29:41,168 --> 00:29:43,460
you know Lois,
she can go ballistic
604
00:29:43,543 --> 00:29:45,918
when she runs out
of cream for her coffee.
605
00:29:46,001 --> 00:29:49,543
Fact is, she forgot
all about Sikes the next day.
606
00:29:49,626 --> 00:29:51,543
She didn't carry a grudge?
607
00:29:53,626 --> 00:29:55,168
Now...just a damn minute--
608
00:29:55,251 --> 00:29:58,585
Look, the prosecution
is looking for a motive.
609
00:29:58,668 --> 00:30:00,751
If I put you on the stand
as a character witness
610
00:30:00,835 --> 00:30:02,043
you can't just
give it to them.
611
00:30:02,873 --> 00:30:03,460
You listen to me.
612
00:30:03,543 --> 00:30:07,463
Sikes was a first-class
sleaze ball. Period.
613
00:30:07,168 --> 00:30:09,335
'End of discussion.'
614
00:30:09,418 --> 00:30:11,463
Now, he may have had
words with Lois
615
00:30:11,168 --> 00:30:13,668
but that's as far as it went.
616
00:30:13,751 --> 00:30:16,751
So, yeah, you can put me
on the stand and do it pronto
617
00:30:16,835 --> 00:30:18,543
so I can clear Lois' good name
618
00:30:18,626 --> 00:30:20,668
and we can all get back
to our lives here.
619
00:30:21,793 --> 00:30:23,001
You hear me?
620
00:30:24,210 --> 00:30:26,001
See you in court.
621
00:30:36,543 --> 00:30:38,168
You comin' to Bible class?
622
00:30:38,251 --> 00:30:41,335
Nah, I got 500 more.
623
00:30:41,418 --> 00:30:42,876
You go ahead.
624
00:30:44,460 --> 00:30:46,168
[exhales]
625
00:30:47,251 --> 00:30:49,168
Two thousand nine..
626
00:30:49,251 --> 00:30:51,001
Two thousand ten..
627
00:30:51,463 --> 00:30:53,001
Two thousand eleven..
628
00:30:53,463 --> 00:30:55,835
Two thousand four hundred
ninety nine..
629
00:30:55,918 --> 00:30:58,335
Ohh, two thousand five hundred.
630
00:30:58,418 --> 00:31:00,418
Ahh.
631
00:31:00,501 --> 00:31:02,710
(Superman)
'You cheated.'
632
00:31:02,793 --> 00:31:05,463
- Where'd you come from?
- The usual.
633
00:31:06,585 --> 00:31:08,043
Dumb question.
634
00:31:09,710 --> 00:31:11,460
[laughs]
635
00:31:11,543 --> 00:31:12,793
I love when you do that.
636
00:31:12,876 --> 00:31:15,543
Yeah? How about this?
637
00:31:15,626 --> 00:31:17,710
[instrumental music]
638
00:31:21,751 --> 00:31:26,001
I can't imagine how I slept
all
those nights alone before us.
639
00:31:26,463 --> 00:31:27,418
Me, either.
640
00:31:29,168 --> 00:31:32,463
Lois, honey...are you afraid?
641
00:31:33,751 --> 00:31:34,960
No.
642
00:31:35,876 --> 00:31:37,751
Not even a little bit?
643
00:31:38,793 --> 00:31:40,168
Could you be more specific?
644
00:31:40,251 --> 00:31:43,168
Well, I can't help but..
645
00:31:43,251 --> 00:31:45,001
...feel like we're being
swallowed up by--
646
00:31:45,463 --> 00:31:47,001
A heartless, hungry animal?
647
00:31:47,463 --> 00:31:49,501
A huge hurricane that's
mowing down our lives
648
00:31:49,585 --> 00:31:52,043
and leaving nothing
but rubble in its wake?
649
00:31:54,835 --> 00:31:56,543
Is that how you're feeling?
650
00:31:58,873 --> 00:31:59,460
Yeah.
651
00:31:59,543 --> 00:32:03,501
Of course I do my best work
when I'm on edge.
652
00:32:03,585 --> 00:32:05,876
Honey, I can't believe you've
been sitting on all your fears
653
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,376
holding all this stuff
inside you.
654
00:32:08,460 --> 00:32:10,501
You told me that you would
tell me if things got too
bad.
655
00:32:10,585 --> 00:32:13,543
And if I did, you would go
off
and do something crazy.
656
00:32:13,626 --> 00:32:15,251
Yeah. You bet I would.
657
00:32:16,168 --> 00:32:18,210
You're my wife.
658
00:32:18,293 --> 00:32:20,043
And I love you.
659
00:32:20,873 --> 00:32:22,543
Anything that helps you
isn't crazy.
660
00:32:24,626 --> 00:32:25,876
Breaking me out of here is
661
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,876
and I know that's
what you're thinking.
662
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,210
I was not thinking that.
663
00:32:30,293 --> 00:32:34,001
I was just sort of
feeling that.
664
00:32:35,918 --> 00:32:39,210
Oh, Clark, not only
do you give me hope
665
00:32:39,293 --> 00:32:44,335
you give the world hope and you
do that by obeying the rules.
666
00:32:44,418 --> 00:32:47,960
You lend your strength to help
everybody get a fair deal.
667
00:32:48,043 --> 00:32:51,210
If anybody deserves
a fair deal, it's you.
668
00:32:51,293 --> 00:32:53,585
Even if you weren't my wife.
669
00:32:53,668 --> 00:32:55,626
But if you help me
by breaking the
rules
670
00:32:55,710 --> 00:32:58,251
you're going to
damage
something you are.
671
00:32:58,335 --> 00:33:03,585
A symbol of
decency,
of fairness.
672
00:33:04,626 --> 00:33:06,751
[sighs]
673
00:33:06,835 --> 00:33:09,293
I'm gonna get you out of here.
674
00:33:09,376 --> 00:33:11,463
I know you will.
675
00:33:11,168 --> 00:33:12,585
The right way.
676
00:33:12,668 --> 00:33:13,960
Through the door.
677
00:33:14,043 --> 00:33:15,668
Not the window.
678
00:33:18,835 --> 00:33:20,751
(male #6)
'Open number 3!'
679
00:33:22,751 --> 00:33:25,001
I better go.
I love you.
680
00:33:29,043 --> 00:33:31,210
I love you.
681
00:33:35,293 --> 00:33:36,876

'Goodnight, Mr. White.'
682
00:33:40,251 --> 00:33:42,293
[intense music]
683
00:33:51,418 --> 00:33:53,710
(Samuelson)
'Mr. Clemmons, are you ready
to call your next witness?'
684
00:33:53,793 --> 00:33:55,418
Yes, Your Honor.
685
00:33:55,501 --> 00:34:01,043
The prosecution calls
Superman to the stand.
686
00:34:05,376 --> 00:34:07,873
[coughs]
Excuse me.
687
00:34:14,793 --> 00:34:17,001
Maybe somebody
ought to yell "help."
688
00:34:17,463 --> 00:34:19,210
[spectators chuckling]

Please state your full name
for the record.

Kal-El, son of Jor-El
and Lara--
692
00:34:42,626 --> 00:34:45,251
Uh, Superman is fine.
693
00:34:45,335 --> 00:34:47,043
I think we know who
the witness is, bailiff.

Superman, isn't it true
that right after
702
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,210
I released the defendant
into your custody
703
00:35:11,293 --> 00:35:15,463
she was seen stalking
a key witness with a gun?
704
00:35:15,168 --> 00:35:18,585
No. It wasn't Lois.
705
00:35:18,668 --> 00:35:20,876
It was a hallucination.
706
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:25,376
- A what?
- A hallucination.

'Superman, please..'
708
00:35:27,251 --> 00:35:31,585
We've got several citizens
who saw Lois Lane at the scene

00:35:31,668 --> 00:35:33,335
with their own eyes.
710
00:35:33,418 --> 00:35:36,251
I can't explain how it works.

I-I don't know.
712
00:35:37,835 --> 00:35:42,543
But the image of Lois
walked right through my body.
713
00:35:42,626 --> 00:35:46,543
I see. Then was it also
some kind of hallucination
714
00:35:46,626 --> 00:35:48,585
that shot and killed
Elroy Sikes?
715

- Objection!
- Withdrawn.

00:35:52,793 --> 00:35:56,585
I take it you can verify
Lois Lane's exact whereabouts
717
00:35:56,668 --> 00:35:59,751
at the time of this
alleged hallucination?
718
00:35:59,835 --> 00:36:01,751
No, I can't.
719
00:36:01,835 --> 00:36:05,168
Were you at the scene
when Mr. Sikes was shot?
720
00:36:05,251 --> 00:36:06,793
No.
721
00:36:06,876 --> 00:36:11,335
Yet you still believe that
Lois Lane is innocent. Why?
722
00:36:13,710 --> 00:36:15,710
Because I know her.
723
00:36:17,043 --> 00:36:19,751
Superman, are you infallible?
724
00:36:19,835 --> 00:36:22,668
Would the court please inquire
as to where this is going..
725
00:36:23,543 --> 00:36:25,460
...if anywhere?
726
00:36:25,543 --> 00:36:30,918

you have a
