1
00:00:02,582 --> 00:00:04,777
Previously on Lois and Clark:

2
00:00:05,485 --> 00:00:08,818
Ladies and gentlemen.
I'm the new owner of the Daily Planet.

3
00:00:09,089 --> 00:00:12,149
I promise no interference,
only a few minor modifications.

4
00:00:15,062 --> 00:00:19,590
For the first time in 219 years,
there will be no edition of the Daily Planet.

5
00:00:19,666 --> 00:00:23,500
I have been in love with you
for a long time.

6
00:00:23,570 --> 00:00:27,404
Mrs. Cox, Lois Lane.
Mrs. Cox is my personal assistant.

7
00:00:29,543 --> 00:00:31,909
Is that kryptonite in your pocket...

8
00:00:32,612 --> 00:00:35,479
or are you glad to see me?

9
00:00:35,649 --> 00:00:36,877
Will you marry me?

10
00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:38,178
Yes, Lex.

11
00:00:38,385 --> 00:00:39,750
I will marry you.

12
00:01:05,812 --> 00:01:09,373
Elegant, every inch a marvel.

13
00:05:00,947 --> 00:05:02,107
Hello?

14
00:05:02,248 --> 00:05:04,182
- Mr. White.
- Clark.

15
00:05:04,484 --> 00:05:07,044
Yes, sir. How are you? You sound tan.

16
00:05:07,387 --> 00:05:11,687
Well, you tell me. I get up around 9:00.
Take a walk on the beach.

17
00:05:12,459 --> 00:05:15,087
I get back,
Alice has breakfast ready for me.

18
00:05:15,228 --> 00:05:17,321
The weather's perfect, never changes.

19
00:05:17,397 --> 00:05:19,991
Haven't been run down by a cab
since I got here.

20
00:05:20,066 --> 00:05:22,193
- You're miserable.
- Completely.

21
00:05:23,103 --> 00:05:24,730
How's the novel coming?

22
00:05:26,973 --> 00:05:28,497
Well, not so good.

23
00:05:28,708 --> 00:05:30,972
I've been spending my time
trying to figure out...

24
00:05:31,044 --> 00:05:32,773
what really happened at the Planet.

25
00:05:32,846 --> 00:05:36,543
Yep, you and me both.
Anything interesting?

26
00:05:36,616 --> 00:05:38,675
Not that I can prove, yet.

27
00:05:39,452 --> 00:05:43,081
Actually, the reason I'm calling is...
Have you heard from Jimmy?

28
00:05:43,156 --> 00:05:45,454
He called about a week ago. Sounded fine.

29
00:05:45,525 --> 00:05:47,425
His telephone is disconnected.

30
00:05:47,494 --> 00:05:50,657
I went by his apartment,
the landlord said he's been thrown out...

31
00:05:50,730 --> 00:05:52,163
because he couldn't pay the rent.

32
00:05:52,866 --> 00:05:55,733
Blast that kid. Why didn't he tell me?

33
00:05:55,902 --> 00:05:59,303
- I'm gonna start an all-out search for him.
- You need any help?

34
00:05:59,372 --> 00:06:00,964
I think I can manage, Chief.

35
00:06:01,041 --> 00:06:03,839
Damn it, Kent, tell me you need my help.

36
00:06:04,744 --> 00:06:07,110
- I need your help.
- See, I thought so.

37
00:06:07,380 --> 00:06:09,507
I'll take the first flight out in the morning.

38
00:06:09,582 --> 00:06:11,413
I'll meet you at your place.

39
00:06:11,584 --> 00:06:14,951
- That's great, Chief. I'll see you then.
- Good, see you then.

40
00:06:17,157 --> 00:06:20,058
You see, this is right, but this is wrong.

41
00:06:20,126 --> 00:06:23,892
I want the doors on the master bedroom
balcony to be sliders...

42
00:06:23,963 --> 00:06:27,194
because French doors
make the room look too small.

43
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:30,326
Lex, the master bedroom
is 3,000 square feet.

44
00:06:30,470 --> 00:06:32,938
That's twice as big
as my whole apartment.

45
00:06:35,375 --> 00:06:37,843
And what about this exercise area?

46
00:06:37,911 --> 00:06:40,345
Should we move that back
down to the ground floor?

47
00:06:40,413 --> 00:06:42,711
No, I think that's right.

48
00:06:42,982 --> 00:06:45,678
It'll be great to get up
and see that stair climber...

49
00:06:45,752 --> 00:06:48,277
staring me in the face saying,
"Now, Lois, now. "

50
00:06:48,354 --> 00:06:50,345
No, darling, that'll be my line.

51
00:06:57,297 --> 00:06:59,891
- Thank you for understanding.
- What?

52
00:07:01,101 --> 00:07:04,264
About me wanting to wait
until our wedding night.

53
00:07:05,238 --> 00:07:07,138
I just want it to be special.

54
00:07:07,907 --> 00:07:09,272
It will be.

55
00:07:12,579 --> 00:07:15,309
Lex, could we run through
your schedule for tomorrow?

56
00:07:15,381 --> 00:07:17,576
Of course. Please come in, Mrs. Cox.

57
00:07:20,053 --> 00:07:23,955
You'll notice the Series "K" field test
is set for 3:45 p. m.

58
00:07:24,491 --> 00:07:25,924
Excellent.

59
00:07:32,132 --> 00:07:33,497
Mr. Luthor?

60
00:07:33,967 --> 00:07:35,696
McDonis in Chicago.

61
00:07:36,836 --> 00:07:39,566
Forgive me. I'll take it in the library.

62
00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:55,981
So, what's Series "K"?

63
00:07:56,256 --> 00:07:59,657
Something we've been working on.
The details are confidential.

64
00:08:00,326 --> 00:08:03,159
- Lex and I don't have any secrets.
- Really?

65
00:08:05,999 --> 00:08:09,628
Mrs. Cox, is there a Mr. Cox?

66
00:08:10,370 --> 00:08:11,598
He died.

67
00:08:12,372 --> 00:08:14,237
I'm so sorry.

68
00:08:14,374 --> 00:08:16,035
Don't be, I'm not.

69
00:08:21,014 --> 00:08:22,504
Anything else?

70
00:08:22,649 --> 00:08:24,446
Nothing I can't handle.

71
00:08:24,584 --> 00:08:27,644
Good. Thank you, Mrs. Cox.
That'll be all for now.

72
00:08:36,496 --> 00:08:38,555
- I don't like that woman.
- Why?

73
00:08:39,532 --> 00:08:42,023
She's the best assistant I've ever...

74
00:08:43,803 --> 00:08:47,603
- Lois, if you're unhappy, she is...
- No, really, it's fine.

75
00:08:52,512 --> 00:08:54,446
What is it? What's the matter?

76
00:08:55,715 --> 00:08:59,242
My mother's coming in,
the wedding preparations...

77
00:09:01,287 --> 00:09:03,152
I know, but what else?

78
00:09:06,159 --> 00:09:10,960
I was wondering how everybody was.
I haven't talked to Perry, Jimmy, or Cat...

79
00:09:11,965 --> 00:09:13,125
Clark.

80
00:09:15,034 --> 00:09:16,763
...or Clark in weeks.

81
00:09:17,136 --> 00:09:19,696
All right, so why don't you
give them a call?

82
00:09:28,248 --> 00:09:29,806
I think I will.

83
00:09:32,385 --> 00:09:34,717
Have you heard from Jack?

84
00:09:36,189 --> 00:09:38,555
I don't understand that boy.
Against my advice...

85
00:09:38,625 --> 00:09:42,891
he fires one of the best criminal lawyers
and hires a woman out of law school.

86
00:09:44,597 --> 00:09:47,225
- I tried.
- I'll talk to him.

87
00:09:47,934 --> 00:09:50,027
I doubt that it'll do any good.

88
00:10:00,013 --> 00:10:02,811
Have we decided on the 12-car garage...

89
00:10:05,852 --> 00:10:08,320
or the 15?

90
00:10:08,821 --> 00:10:12,382
No cover, no minimum.
All girls, all the time.

91
00:10:12,458 --> 00:10:16,394
Girls, girls, and more girls.
Seven! Count them.

92
00:10:16,462 --> 00:10:18,953
Seven revolving stages
for your viewing pleasure.

93
00:10:19,032 --> 00:10:20,294
How much?

94
00:10:22,735 --> 00:10:23,929
Jack?

95
00:10:25,338 --> 00:10:26,669
You out?

96
00:10:28,841 --> 00:10:30,103
Sort of.

97
00:10:31,344 --> 00:10:34,472
It's no big deal.
It's not Alcatraz, it's juvy hall.

98
00:10:36,249 --> 00:10:39,878
- You are in a lot of trouble, pal.
- You should talk. Nice gig.

99
00:10:41,154 --> 00:10:44,021
- It's all I can get.
- Where you staying?

100
00:10:44,590 --> 00:10:47,855
I got a room at the Y. It's not that bad.

101
00:10:48,628 --> 00:10:52,724
- Want a roommate?
- Jack, why did you break out?

102
00:10:52,832 --> 00:10:56,199
I overheard some stuff.
They brought in a new kid last week.

103
00:10:56,269 --> 00:10:59,067
He's bragging how he and his brother
pulled this frame-up...

104
00:10:59,138 --> 00:11:02,005
planting incriminating evidence
in some guy's crib.

105
00:11:03,242 --> 00:11:05,437
- So?
- I was the framee.

106
00:11:05,778 --> 00:11:08,975
He was talking about me and
the explosives they found in my place...

107
00:11:09,048 --> 00:11:10,948
after the fire at the Planet.

108
00:11:11,017 --> 00:11:12,712
I have to clear my name, Jimmy.

109
00:11:12,785 --> 00:11:16,778
And it's not going to happen for me
on the inside. I need help.

110
00:11:22,929 --> 00:11:25,955
- Hello.
- Hi, it's me.

111
00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:28,892
Hi. How are you?

112
00:11:30,169 --> 00:11:32,933
Terrific. You?

113
00:11:33,639 --> 00:11:34,799
Great.

114
00:11:37,276 --> 00:11:39,267
So, how's the rest of the gang?

115
00:11:39,545 --> 00:11:42,446
Perry's actually coming out
to stay with me for a few days.

116
00:11:42,515 --> 00:11:44,949
We're a little worried about Jimmy.

117
00:11:45,952 --> 00:11:48,045
He moved out of his apartment.

118
00:11:48,221 --> 00:11:49,313
He's okay?

119
00:11:49,555 --> 00:11:53,286
I mean, you'd think if he was in trouble
he would call me or you.

120
00:11:53,359 --> 00:11:55,657
- Wouldn't he?
- Yeah, I'm sure he would.

121
00:11:58,765 --> 00:12:00,528
How is your new job?

122
00:12:02,969 --> 00:12:05,164
You know, settling in.

123
00:12:06,873 --> 00:12:07,862
You?

124
00:12:08,908 --> 00:12:11,968
I'm busy, exploring my options.

125
00:12:12,812 --> 00:12:15,337
- I'm sure you'll find something.
- Yeah.

126
00:12:18,217 --> 00:12:20,344
Well, it's kind of late.

127
00:12:21,187 --> 00:12:24,156
I guess I'm gonna go to bed.

128
00:12:25,158 --> 00:12:26,648
Me, too.

129
00:12:27,827 --> 00:12:30,022
- Clark?
- Yes?

130
00:12:34,067 --> 00:12:35,432
I miss you.

131
00:12:38,371 --> 00:12:40,202
I miss you too, Lois.

132
00:12:41,574 --> 00:12:42,871
Good night.

133
00:13:36,395 --> 00:13:37,953
- Chief!
- Hey, Clark.

134
00:13:38,030 --> 00:13:39,190
It's so good to see you.

135
00:13:39,265 --> 00:13:42,166
It's good to be back,
even if it is just for a couple of days.

136
00:13:42,235 --> 00:13:43,759
Thank you. Appreciate it.

137
00:13:43,836 --> 00:13:45,326
So, what did you tell Alice?

138
00:13:45,404 --> 00:13:48,635
Son, I've been married 25 years.

139
00:13:48,841 --> 00:13:51,401
And if there's one thing I've learned...

140
00:13:51,777 --> 00:13:53,677
it's: Don't lie to your wife.

141
00:13:54,147 --> 00:13:56,240
So, what did you tell Alice?

142
00:13:56,315 --> 00:13:58,783
I told her I was going fishing.

143
00:13:59,152 --> 00:14:01,450
- No word from Jimmy?
- Not a thing.

144
00:14:01,621 --> 00:14:03,885
Boy, I wonder where that kid is?

145
00:14:03,956 --> 00:14:06,151
He's right behind you, Chief.

146
00:14:10,129 --> 00:14:12,120
- How are you doing?
- Good. Good to see you.

147
00:14:12,198 --> 00:14:14,496
How are you? Where you been?

148
00:14:14,567 --> 00:14:18,503
Well, it's a long story, but first things first.
You got anything to eat?

149
00:14:18,738 --> 00:14:22,003
- Yeah. Canadian bacon, right?
- You remembered.

150
00:14:25,278 --> 00:14:28,577
Yeah, I'd like to order
two large pizzas to be delivered, please.

151
00:14:28,648 --> 00:14:30,047
C.K.

152
00:14:30,583 --> 00:14:33,074
I think you'd better
make that three pizzas.

153
00:14:37,056 --> 00:14:40,116
Pete was his name.
Pete Black and his brother, John.

154
00:14:40,226 --> 00:14:42,217
Know anything about who hired them?

155
00:14:42,295 --> 00:14:45,492
Just that it was someone important
and they got paid a ton of money.

156
00:14:45,565 --> 00:14:46,998
He called him "The Boss. "

157
00:14:47,066 --> 00:14:48,897
All right, Jimmy, Jack.

158
00:14:49,068 --> 00:14:52,868
I want you to find out where
we can contact this John Black character.

159
00:14:53,005 --> 00:14:57,339
And, Clark, get me whatever you can
on anyone called The Boss.

160
00:14:57,777 --> 00:15:01,235
I'm gonna start digging into
some of the Daily Planet finances.

161
00:15:01,414 --> 00:15:03,177
Just like old times.

162
00:15:04,383 --> 00:15:06,510
You two might as well bunk here with me.

163
00:15:06,586 --> 00:15:08,076
What about me?

164
00:15:08,221 --> 00:15:10,451
You're going back
to Juvenile Detention Center.

165
00:15:10,523 --> 00:15:13,356
- We'll figure out some way to tell them...
- I can't.

166
00:15:14,460 --> 00:15:17,293
Pete Black just didn't happen
to get sent to juvy.

167
00:15:17,630 --> 00:15:19,291
He was put there to look for me.

168
00:15:19,365 --> 00:15:21,765
Maybe it's time to call in the big guns.

169
00:15:21,968 --> 00:15:23,333
The police?

170
00:15:24,070 --> 00:15:26,095
No, Lois.

171
00:15:26,672 --> 00:15:30,608
No, Chief. She's too busy
getting ready for her wedding.

172
00:15:34,247 --> 00:15:37,683
Excuse me for a sec.
I left some clothes in the dryer.

173
00:15:41,354 --> 00:15:44,812
Superman, thank you for coming
but it's a false alarm.

174
00:15:44,991 --> 00:15:48,017
The security system's just gone crazy
all of a sudden.

175
00:15:48,327 --> 00:15:52,024
- Sorry to take up your time like this.
- No problem at all.

176
00:15:53,199 --> 00:15:55,929
Superman. You okay, Superman?

177
00:16:04,410 --> 00:16:06,037
Yeah, I'm okay.

178
00:16:11,517 --> 00:16:15,453
We have the genuine article, Lex.
Works like a charm.

179
00:16:27,266 --> 00:16:29,097
I thought it was destroyed, too, Mom.

180
00:16:29,168 --> 00:16:33,104
Then I remembered the chunk supposedly
sent to the university for testing.

181
00:16:33,172 --> 00:16:35,265
Yeah, the piece that disappeared.

182
00:16:42,815 --> 00:16:44,942
The key's under the mat, Chief.

183
00:16:50,089 --> 00:16:53,320
I will be careful, Mom. I promise.
Yeah, bye.

184
00:16:59,832 --> 00:17:02,528
How in the world
did you know I was out there?

185
00:17:02,668 --> 00:17:05,899
- Here, let me take this for you.
- Thank you, how you doing?

186
00:17:05,971 --> 00:17:08,064
Good. How'd it go?

187
00:17:08,140 --> 00:17:12,008
Every single member of
the Daily Planet's old board of directors...

188
00:17:12,078 --> 00:17:13,568
has been ducking me.

189
00:17:13,713 --> 00:17:17,444
I finally did get a hold of a transcript
of the session where they...

190
00:17:17,516 --> 00:17:19,381
agreed to sell the paper to Luthor.

191
00:17:19,452 --> 00:17:24,151
But my instinct tells me
they're hiding something from me.

192
00:17:24,290 --> 00:17:28,192
- What I need is some leverage.
- I just hope we're not too late.

193
00:17:29,328 --> 00:17:32,525
- The wedding's coming up pretty fast.
- Two days.

194
00:17:34,166 --> 00:17:36,361
Maybe it doesn't even matter
what we find.

195
00:17:36,435 --> 00:17:38,460
Maybe Luthor is what she wants.

196
00:17:38,971 --> 00:17:43,067
Here all this time, I thought
we were trying to save the Daily Planet.

197
00:17:44,243 --> 00:17:46,108
We are, Chief. I just...

198
00:17:46,946 --> 00:17:48,937
I'm just playing with you, son.

199
00:17:49,281 --> 00:17:52,216
You know, women are a little like trout.

200
00:17:53,285 --> 00:17:57,449
You get them on a line, you tug a little bit
too hard, they're gonna go free.

201
00:17:57,690 --> 00:18:00,488
You just gotta hope that
fate and the currents...

202
00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:02,459
drift them your way.

203
00:18:03,095 --> 00:18:04,619
You still got a couple of days.

204
00:18:04,697 --> 00:18:07,393
Yeah. You're right, Chief.
Let's get to work.

205
00:18:10,503 --> 00:18:12,801
Just about every criminal element
in Metropolis...

206
00:18:12,872 --> 00:18:16,433
pays protection money
to a shadowy character they call The Boss.

207
00:18:16,542 --> 00:18:20,444
Most of them have no idea who he is,
those who might are too terrified to talk.

208
00:18:22,681 --> 00:18:25,582
There was additional insurance
on the Daily Planet building...

209
00:18:25,651 --> 00:18:29,052
through a subsidiary of Lex Corp
called Lexell Investments.

210
00:18:34,693 --> 00:18:37,958
I found John Black.
Now all we have to do is set the guy up.

211
00:18:38,030 --> 00:18:41,227
The Planet board originally voted
not to sell to Lex Luthor.

212
00:18:41,300 --> 00:18:43,825
Then suddenly
they all changed their minds.

213
00:18:43,903 --> 00:18:46,269
They are all also driving new Ferraris.

214
00:18:49,341 --> 00:18:52,538
If Luthor first manipulated the board
to sell the Planet to him...

215
00:18:52,611 --> 00:18:54,909
and then burned it down
to collect the insurance...

216
00:18:54,980 --> 00:18:57,676
what if The Boss is actually Lex Luthor?

217
00:18:57,783 --> 00:19:00,343
- Okay, good.
- Exactly, that's what I thought.

218
00:19:00,753 --> 00:19:04,621
- All right, let's just keep at it.
- See you back at the apartment.

219
00:19:18,337 --> 00:19:20,134
Need a lift, big boy?

220
00:19:23,209 --> 00:19:26,144
- Present from Luthor?
- I borrowed it.

221
00:19:27,379 --> 00:19:30,007
Well, then I guess you owe him one,
don't you?

222
00:19:37,456 --> 00:19:41,290
Clark, come on, get in. Please?

223
00:19:51,704 --> 00:19:53,604
What do you want, Lois?

224
00:19:54,406 --> 00:19:56,840
I want you to come to my wedding.

225
00:19:57,142 --> 00:19:58,905
- I can't.
- Why not?

226
00:19:59,278 --> 00:20:00,905
I just... I can't.

227
00:20:02,314 --> 00:20:05,306
You hate him that much?
Or is it me you hate now?

228
00:20:05,784 --> 00:20:07,843
I could never hate you, Lois.

229
00:20:08,220 --> 00:20:11,383
But I'm not gonna sit and watch
you walk down the aisle with that...

230
00:20:11,457 --> 00:20:14,722
What? Thief, gangster,
psychopath, murderer?

231
00:20:14,793 --> 00:20:16,761
Maybe all of the above.

232
00:20:17,363 --> 00:20:19,297
Can't you see what is happening?

233
00:20:19,365 --> 00:20:21,993
You are driving us
farther and farther apart.

234
00:20:22,067 --> 00:20:24,865
I'm not the one doing the driving, Lois.
You are.

235
00:20:27,172 --> 00:20:30,608
And if you're so sure
Lex is filled with good intentions...

236
00:20:30,676 --> 00:20:32,974
you might wanna ask him
about Lexell Investments...

237
00:20:33,045 --> 00:20:35,946
and the extra insurance policy
they took out on the Daily Planet.

238
00:20:36,015 --> 00:20:38,950
A policy that may have made it
very easy to rebuild the paper.

239
00:20:39,018 --> 00:20:41,919
You're an investigative reporter, Lois.
Investigate.

240
00:20:45,824 --> 00:20:49,123
You're an investigative reporter, Lois.
Investigate.

241
00:20:52,264 --> 00:20:56,496
Modern surveillance technology
is such a beautiful thing, don't you think?

242
00:20:56,835 --> 00:20:59,736
If the Borgias had had it,
they'd still be running Italy.

243
00:20:59,805 --> 00:21:02,171
Shall I take the necessary precautions?

244
00:21:09,048 --> 00:21:10,879
A billion for your thoughts.

245
00:21:12,251 --> 00:21:16,187
Sold. You know, I was just thinking
how everything is falling into line.

246
00:21:17,256 --> 00:21:19,417
I made the Daily Planet vulnerable
for takeover.

247
00:21:19,491 --> 00:21:21,482
I bought it and I destroyed it.

248
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,028
I broke Lois Lane
from her comfortable routine...

249
00:21:24,096 --> 00:21:26,189
and made a few bucks in the process.

250
00:21:26,265 --> 00:21:29,598
And when these highly insulting
accusations of Mr. Kent prove false...

251
00:21:29,668 --> 00:21:33,365
it should drive the final wedge
between Lois and her old life.

252
00:21:33,772 --> 00:21:36,036
Part 1 of your plan is complete.

253
00:21:36,108 --> 00:21:39,339
Time for Part 2:
To conclude our business with Superman.

254
00:21:39,912 --> 00:21:42,244
- Is everything complete?
- Yes.

255
00:21:42,381 --> 00:21:45,316
Good. Why don't you put in a call
to Mr. Kent?

256
00:21:45,417 --> 00:21:49,649
Tell him I'd appreciate it very much
if he'd contact Superman on my behalf.

257
00:21:49,722 --> 00:21:53,021
I'd like a word with the Man of Steel
concerning Lois Lane.

258
00:22:08,173 --> 00:22:09,538
Not quite ready.

259
00:22:14,046 --> 00:22:17,038
Come in. Don't be shy.

260
00:22:17,850 --> 00:22:21,752
They say that civilization was invented
so that men could cooperate...

261
00:22:22,221 --> 00:22:24,348
in the making of wine.

262
00:22:25,724 --> 00:22:28,022
- What do you want, Luthor?
- A favor.

263
00:22:29,395 --> 00:22:32,262
A favor? From me? You must be joking.

264
00:22:32,331 --> 00:22:36,665
No, but wait, hear me out.
Lois Lane, my fiancée...

265
00:22:37,069 --> 00:22:39,367
should be deliriously happy
at the prospect...

266
00:22:39,438 --> 00:22:42,737
of our forthcoming wedding.
But unfortunately, she's not.

267
00:22:43,442 --> 00:22:45,603
She misses her friends
at the Daily Planet...

268
00:22:45,678 --> 00:22:48,078
particularly Clark Kent.

269
00:22:50,049 --> 00:22:52,574
- So?
- So you and Clark are friends.

270
00:22:53,085 --> 00:22:55,053
He was able to bring you here.

271
00:22:56,088 --> 00:22:58,113
I'm not following, Luthor.

272
00:22:58,824 --> 00:23:02,089
I would like you to use your influence
to convince Clark...

273
00:23:02,194 --> 00:23:05,561
to attend our wedding.
Of course, you are invited, too.

274
00:23:07,199 --> 00:23:09,827
You live in a fantasy world, Luthor.

275
00:23:10,202 --> 00:23:14,366
Neither Clark nor I will ever do anything
to support your marriage to Lois.

276
00:23:16,709 --> 00:23:17,971
I see.

277
00:23:19,044 --> 00:23:21,877
Well, then I suppose
I have no further use for you.

278
00:23:27,786 --> 00:23:31,586
Bars won't hold me, Luthor.

279
00:23:33,358 --> 00:23:34,950
I think they will.

280
00:23:48,006 --> 00:23:49,769
I live in a fantasy world?

281
00:23:50,909 --> 00:23:54,470
Perhaps my fantasy...

282
00:23:55,314 --> 00:23:57,111
is about to come true.

283
00:24:08,761 --> 00:24:10,956
- It's about time.
- Where's C.K.?

284
00:24:11,130 --> 00:24:14,122
I don't know.
He should've been here by now.

285
00:24:15,334 --> 00:24:17,393
Crayfish étouffée, anyone?

286
00:24:19,605 --> 00:24:21,129
Actually, we just ate.

287
00:24:21,206 --> 00:24:23,834
Well, you'll eat again.
You don't wanna miss this.

288
00:24:23,909 --> 00:24:27,936
See, I use the sweet paprika,
not the regular. And cayenne, plenty of it.

289
00:24:28,380 --> 00:24:31,781
But the real secret is in the apple juice.

290
00:24:32,050 --> 00:24:33,779
Just a half a cup.

291
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,813
Okay, let's get this table set.

292
00:24:37,489 --> 00:24:40,219
- What did you get?
- Plenty.

293
00:24:40,425 --> 00:24:44,088
This John Black character will do
just about anything he's paid to do.

294
00:24:44,163 --> 00:24:48,429
Break in, plant explosives, you name it.
Just like he did for this woman, Mrs. Cox...

295
00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:50,559
in the case of our young Jack here.

296
00:24:50,636 --> 00:24:53,901
This is beautiful. We'll get that tape
down to Inspector Henderson...

297
00:24:53,972 --> 00:24:57,271
first thing in the morning
along with a statement from Jack.

298
00:24:57,509 --> 00:25:01,309
Looks like you're off the hook,
buddy boy. Congratulations.

299
00:25:01,380 --> 00:25:03,473
Thanks. I've got something, too.

300
00:25:03,615 --> 00:25:06,778
Mr. Simon Truesdale,
former board member of the Daily Planet...

301
00:25:06,852 --> 00:25:08,820
has had a sudden attack of conscience.

302
00:25:08,887 --> 00:25:13,256
He is now willing to admit he received
a "substantial cash inducement"...

303
00:25:13,325 --> 00:25:16,988
to support the sale of the Planet to Luthor.

304
00:25:17,062 --> 00:25:19,895
Any particular reason
for this sudden attack of conscience?

305
00:25:19,965 --> 00:25:22,900
It may have something to do
with a video tape which he hopes...

306
00:25:22,968 --> 00:25:24,936
his wife never receives.

307
00:25:25,037 --> 00:25:26,334
Poor woman.

308
00:25:26,505 --> 00:25:28,598
Not after the divorce settlement.

309
00:25:28,874 --> 00:25:31,604
- What about you, Chief?
- Well, now.

310
00:25:31,910 --> 00:25:36,040
Lexell Investments did have additional
insurance on the Daily Planet building.

311
00:25:36,114 --> 00:25:37,138
How much?

312
00:25:37,216 --> 00:25:40,117
About twice what it would take
to repair it.

313
00:25:40,719 --> 00:25:45,281
Lex Luthor walked away
with a cool $75 million.

314
00:25:45,691 --> 00:25:48,683
- Then that's the motive. He's nailed.
- What are we waiting for?

315
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,058
Clark. Sit down. Let's eat.

316
00:25:51,663 --> 00:25:54,154
You know, this is all wonderful,
of course, but...

317
00:25:54,233 --> 00:25:57,498
the problem is it's still not
gonna bring back the Planet.

318
00:25:57,603 --> 00:26:00,071
Well, you see...

319
00:26:00,806 --> 00:26:03,969
Elvis' first recording session
with Sam Phillips...

320
00:26:04,042 --> 00:26:05,873
didn't turn out too well.

321
00:26:05,978 --> 00:26:09,379
That was June '54. But, you see...

322
00:26:09,448 --> 00:26:12,144
July, he was right back in the studio.

323
00:26:12,251 --> 00:26:14,776
Started turning out his first couple of hits.

324
00:26:14,853 --> 00:26:16,650
Tell me there's a point to this.

325
00:26:16,722 --> 00:26:19,919
Elvis didn't give up, we won't either.
You got it?

326
00:26:20,592 --> 00:26:22,150
Yeah, I got it.

327
00:26:22,227 --> 00:26:24,092
I hope you like it spicy.

328
00:26:44,182 --> 00:26:47,276
A perfect evening. I don't think
I've had better garlic chicken.

329
00:26:47,352 --> 00:26:50,082
I think that Chef Andre deserves a raise.

330
00:26:52,291 --> 00:26:54,782
And a magnificent production of Othello.

331
00:26:55,327 --> 00:26:57,386
I particularly liked
the black-and-white sets.

332
00:26:57,462 --> 00:26:59,692
I thought they were inventive.

333
00:27:03,936 --> 00:27:06,302
Did you know that
Shakespeare didn't write Othello?

334
00:27:06,371 --> 00:27:09,670
It turns out that
it was actually written by Dr. Seuss.

335
00:27:14,379 --> 00:27:16,347
- Am I boring you?
- What?

336
00:27:17,049 --> 00:27:18,414
Am I boring you?

337
00:27:18,517 --> 00:27:22,180
No, of course not. I'm sorry.

338
00:27:23,322 --> 00:27:27,258
I just keep thinking about that
enormous stack of RSVPs on my desk.

339
00:27:29,728 --> 00:27:31,218
Minus a few.

340
00:27:32,698 --> 00:27:34,757
At least my mom's gonna be there.

341
00:27:36,635 --> 00:27:39,035
You know, it's not just my family.

342
00:27:39,104 --> 00:27:42,369
Not one of the people I thought
I was closest to is coming.

343
00:27:43,408 --> 00:27:46,309
I just wanted our wedding day
to be something I could share...

344
00:27:46,378 --> 00:27:48,869
with Clark and Perry and the others.

345
00:27:49,414 --> 00:27:54,078
I promise that after the honeymoon
all these old wounds will be healed.

346
00:27:57,389 --> 00:27:59,414
You still haven't told me
where we're going.

347
00:27:59,491 --> 00:28:01,186
- No.
- Not even a hint?

348
00:28:01,326 --> 00:28:04,727
No. All right, one: Clothing is optional.

349
00:28:14,473 --> 00:28:19,410
Lex, when the Planet was destroyed,
you lost a lot of money, didn't you?

350
00:28:21,213 --> 00:28:24,671
Luckily, I have broad shoulders
and deep pockets.

351
00:28:25,183 --> 00:28:28,346
But, I mean, it wasn't a total loss.
You had insurance?

352
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,681
Sure. Several policies.

353
00:28:31,189 --> 00:28:34,317
But unfortunately, not enough
to warrant reconstruction.

354
00:28:35,827 --> 00:28:37,920
Why the sudden concern?

355
00:28:39,131 --> 00:28:42,760
Well, I can't help but think that...

356
00:28:43,602 --> 00:28:46,662
you bought the Planet in the first place
because of me.

357
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:49,898
I did.

358
00:28:52,310 --> 00:28:55,905
Embarrassed to admit it,
but I bought the Planet out of...

359
00:28:57,015 --> 00:29:01,384
some lovesick attempt to bring us closer,
to bring my life in tune with yours.

360
00:29:01,887 --> 00:29:05,118
But ironically, it wasn't necessary.
Here we are together.

361
00:29:06,525 --> 00:29:09,050
We were meant to be together.
It was fate.

362
00:29:11,663 --> 00:29:14,826
We don't even have to change
the monograms on our towels.

363
00:29:18,303 --> 00:29:19,895
In here, Mr. White.

364
00:29:22,007 --> 00:29:24,737
- Mr. Stern.
- Come in, Mr. White.

365
00:29:25,877 --> 00:29:27,640
- Please sit down.
- Yes, sir.

366
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,640
I appreciate you seeing me
at this late hour.

367
00:29:33,151 --> 00:29:35,085
- May I call you Perry?
- Sure.

368
00:29:35,887 --> 00:29:38,412
I put in a 14-hour day. I always have.

369
00:29:38,590 --> 00:29:42,253
If I show my face at home before 11 p. m.,
my wife calls the police.

370
00:29:42,494 --> 00:29:45,395
- I'm sure you know what that's like.
- Only too well.

371
00:29:45,997 --> 00:29:47,362
Strange we've never met.

372
00:29:47,432 --> 00:29:49,332
I'm very familiar with your work,
of course.

373
00:29:49,401 --> 00:29:52,427
- As I am with yours.
- I miss reading the Daily Planet.

374
00:29:52,637 --> 00:29:54,935
It has imitators, but no true successor.

375
00:29:55,006 --> 00:29:56,496
Metropolis has lost an asset.

376
00:29:56,575 --> 00:29:59,976
Well, those of us who worked there
were proud to call it home.

377
00:30:00,312 --> 00:30:04,271
And, well, that's the reason I've come.

378
00:30:04,549 --> 00:30:07,916
I didn't think you were here
looking for a fourth for bridge.

379
00:30:08,787 --> 00:30:10,311
Now, Mr. Stern...

380
00:30:11,456 --> 00:30:14,448
you own television and radio stations.

381
00:30:14,626 --> 00:30:16,651
You have interests in book publishing.

382
00:30:16,728 --> 00:30:19,356
Have you ever considered
owning a newspaper?

383
00:30:19,498 --> 00:30:23,127
Perry, correct me if I'm wrong.
There is no newspaper.

384
00:30:23,201 --> 00:30:27,137
The Daily Planet was a lot more
than just steel girders and concrete.

385
00:30:27,205 --> 00:30:31,232
It was people, it was ideas, principles.
Those still exist.

386
00:30:32,010 --> 00:30:35,878
There is a newspaper.
We just don't have a place to print it.

387
00:30:37,115 --> 00:30:40,084
Even if that were true,
why would I want to own the Daily Planet?

388
00:30:40,152 --> 00:30:42,746
I can't imagine anyone
wanting anything else.

389
00:30:49,261 --> 00:30:53,254
I'm sorry. My answer's no. I wish you luck,
though, in finding some way to rebuild.

390
00:30:53,331 --> 00:30:55,629
When you do, you have my subscription.

391
00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:57,292
I appreciate it.

392
00:30:58,336 --> 00:31:00,861
I just hate to see Lex Luthor win.

393
00:31:01,173 --> 00:31:02,697
- What?
- Lex Luthor.

394
00:31:03,008 --> 00:31:05,374
We've gathered evidence
that strongly suggests...

395
00:31:05,443 --> 00:31:08,071
that he's behind the fall
of the Daily Planet.

396
00:31:08,446 --> 00:31:11,677
I'd just like to see
the expression on his face when I...

397
00:31:14,753 --> 00:31:17,244
I appreciate you seeing me, sir. Thank you.

398
00:31:30,835 --> 00:31:33,633
And how are we feeling today?

399
00:31:36,208 --> 00:31:39,575
Still feeling a little green around the gills,
are we?

400
00:31:40,812 --> 00:31:43,838
I, on the other hand, am feeling wonderful.

401
00:31:43,915 --> 00:31:45,906
"She's beautiful,
and therefore to be woo'd

402
00:31:45,984 --> 00:31:48,817
"She is a woman, therefore to be won. "

403
00:31:49,287 --> 00:31:50,777
Henry V.

404
00:31:51,556 --> 00:31:53,421
I know it must be tough.

405
00:31:53,725 --> 00:31:56,751
Lying there, seeing me
all decked out like this.

406
00:31:56,962 --> 00:31:59,453
On my way to marry Lois Lane...

407
00:31:59,531 --> 00:32:02,557
while you lie there helplessly and suffer.

408
00:32:03,235 --> 00:32:04,634
And tonight...

409
00:32:04,703 --> 00:32:09,197
And tonight won't be just any night.

410
00:32:11,309 --> 00:32:13,106
I love Lois, I do. I really do...

411
00:32:13,178 --> 00:32:16,204
but she's just a little too independent.
Don't you think?

412
00:32:16,281 --> 00:32:19,648
- I'll take care of that.
- Clark Kent knows where I am.

413
00:32:20,018 --> 00:32:23,454
Yes, I'll have to kill him, too.
But that reminds me, which one?

414
00:32:23,521 --> 00:32:28,390
The red or the white? The red for passion
and the white for purity.

415
00:32:29,995 --> 00:32:32,691
Well, I agree. Definitely the red.

416
00:32:37,602 --> 00:32:39,627
How strange.

417
00:32:40,105 --> 00:32:42,835
How strange to hear you say my name...

418
00:32:43,308 --> 00:32:47,472
and know that it may be for the last time.

419
00:32:53,418 --> 00:32:55,545
But am I making a mistake?

420
00:32:57,322 --> 00:33:01,383
Will the pain of losing the challenge
that you represent...

421
00:33:01,793 --> 00:33:06,230
be worse than the pain
of constantly losing to you?

422
00:33:10,735 --> 00:33:13,033
I'll be back when it's over.

423
00:33:13,805 --> 00:33:18,435
Then you and I will have
a nice little heart-to-heart.

424
00:33:19,244 --> 00:33:20,836
Have a nice death.

425
00:33:42,934 --> 00:33:44,663
Ten minutes, Mrs. Luthor.

426
00:33:49,908 --> 00:33:51,535
Mrs. Lex Luthor.

427
00:33:53,478 --> 00:33:55,946
Lois Lane Luthor.

428
00:33:57,315 --> 00:34:00,648
Lois Luthor Lane.

429
00:34:02,787 --> 00:34:05,517
Lois Lane...

430
00:34:08,493 --> 00:34:09,755
Kent.

431
00:34:13,898 --> 00:34:16,196
Lois Lane.

432
00:34:20,071 --> 00:34:21,936
Mom, what am I gonna do?

433
00:34:22,006 --> 00:34:23,997
Honey, if you're not sure...

434
00:34:24,075 --> 00:34:25,542
It's too late.

435
00:34:25,610 --> 00:34:29,512
No, it's not.
You do what your heart tells you to do.

436
00:35:46,357 --> 00:35:48,791
You are a strange one, Clark Kent.

437
00:35:49,561 --> 00:35:50,653
Am I?

438
00:35:50,895 --> 00:35:53,193
Yeah, but I think I've got you figured out.

439
00:36:13,218 --> 00:36:16,153
- Clark?
- Just a sec, Lois, I...

440
00:36:39,911 --> 00:36:41,105
Goodbye, Lois.

441
00:37:05,703 --> 00:37:07,295
The Archbishop?

442
00:37:08,039 --> 00:37:11,167
Yes, I'm sorry,
the Pope had a prior engagement.

443
00:37:11,576 --> 00:37:14,340
You look beautiful.

444
00:37:18,049 --> 00:37:21,485
Dearly beloved,
we are gathered here today...

445
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,351
in the sight of God and
in the presence of these witnesses...

446
00:37:25,423 --> 00:37:29,792
to join together this man and this woman
in holy matrimony.

447
00:37:32,497 --> 00:37:35,489
If anyone knows why this wedding
should not take place...

448
00:37:35,567 --> 00:37:39,264
let them speak now
or forever hold their peace.

449
00:37:40,104 --> 00:37:43,073
Do you, Lex, take this woman
to be your wedded bride...

450
00:37:43,141 --> 00:37:45,871
from this day forward,
for richer, for poorer...

451
00:37:47,412 --> 00:37:49,505
until death do you part?

452
00:37:52,450 --> 00:37:53,644
I do.

453
00:37:54,552 --> 00:37:56,417
And do you, Lois, take this man...

454
00:37:56,487 --> 00:37:59,217
to be your wedded husband
from this day forward...

455
00:37:59,290 --> 00:38:02,487
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health...

456
00:38:03,027 --> 00:38:06,258
to love and to cherish
until death do you part?

457
00:38:19,978 --> 00:38:21,206
I can't.

458
00:38:27,885 --> 00:38:30,046
Lex, they came!

459
00:38:30,288 --> 00:38:33,257
Stop the wedding.
You can't marry this man.

460
00:38:33,324 --> 00:38:35,554
What, is there an echo in here?
I just said that.

461
00:38:35,627 --> 00:38:38,187
- What's the meaning of this?
- Luthor, you're through.

462
00:38:38,262 --> 00:38:40,230
We have all the evidence against you
we need.

463
00:38:40,298 --> 00:38:41,560
Evidence? Evidence for what?

464
00:38:41,633 --> 00:38:45,433
This is a warrant for your arrest for arson
and crimes too numerous to mention.

465
00:38:45,503 --> 00:38:48,495
- You're out of your minds.
- You have the right to remain silent.

466
00:38:48,573 --> 00:38:51,508
You have the right to an attorney,
if you can't afford one...

467
00:38:51,576 --> 00:38:53,669
Shut up. I can afford a thousand attorneys.

468
00:38:53,745 --> 00:38:56,680
I'll have your badge.
I'll have your head for this.

469
00:38:56,848 --> 00:39:00,306
Get me the Governor on the phone.
Get me the President!

470
00:39:00,585 --> 00:39:02,746
Get him on the phone!

471
00:39:11,262 --> 00:39:13,127
Et tu, Mrs. Cox?

472
00:39:17,101 --> 00:39:19,501
Lois, I'm sorry.

473
00:39:21,139 --> 00:39:22,834
We'll take a rain check.

474
00:39:23,474 --> 00:39:25,339
- Something's come up.
- Let's go, pal.

475
00:39:25,410 --> 00:39:27,275
You let go of me!

476
00:39:34,118 --> 00:39:37,349
Don't worry, we'll get him.
The building's sealed off.

477
00:39:38,956 --> 00:39:40,787
This way, this way.

478
00:39:43,061 --> 00:39:46,553
Honey, I know things haven't worked
out the way you planned but...

479
00:39:46,631 --> 00:39:51,227
Why? Because this is the way
every girl dreams her wedding's gonna be?

480
00:39:58,176 --> 00:40:01,168
Sorry, Superman, no time to chat.

481
00:40:01,479 --> 00:40:04,243
I'll just take my pound of flesh and...

482
00:40:34,679 --> 00:40:37,705
I've always been
such a good judge of character.

483
00:40:37,782 --> 00:40:39,841
Don't blame yourself. He fooled all of us.

484
00:40:39,917 --> 00:40:41,976
- Not me.
- I never trusted him.

485
00:40:42,386 --> 00:40:43,910
Where's Clark?

486
00:40:44,822 --> 00:40:46,380
Right here.

487
00:40:52,096 --> 00:40:53,893
He's heading for the penthouse.

488
00:41:09,046 --> 00:41:10,843
It's over, Luthor. Give it up.

489
00:41:10,915 --> 00:41:13,406
Lex Luthor will not live in a cage!

490
00:41:16,020 --> 00:41:17,385
Luthor, no!

491
00:41:18,790 --> 00:41:22,351
Did you know this is the tallest building
in Metropolis? Did you?

492
00:41:24,395 --> 00:41:26,022
Top of the world.

493
00:41:33,738 --> 00:41:35,296
I can't.

494
00:42:05,036 --> 00:42:07,664
I wish they'd get it over with
and tear this place down.

495
00:42:07,738 --> 00:42:09,899
Yep, too many memories.

496
00:42:10,775 --> 00:42:12,572
Most of them good.

497
00:42:12,677 --> 00:42:15,202
There's a lesson to be learned in all of this.

498
00:42:15,279 --> 00:42:16,541
Why am I not surprised?

499
00:42:16,614 --> 00:42:19,640
Well, we should appreciate what we got
when we got it.

500
00:42:21,986 --> 00:42:23,749
I know I've said this before...

501
00:42:23,821 --> 00:42:27,917
but I just hate that
Luthor got his way in this one thing.

502
00:42:28,359 --> 00:42:29,986
He didn't. Look!

503
00:42:33,130 --> 00:42:34,597
What is that?

504
00:42:40,905 --> 00:42:42,668
Great shades of Elvis!

505
00:42:42,740 --> 00:42:44,435
We'll start on the building next week...

506
00:42:44,508 --> 00:42:47,409
but first I thought we'd announce
we're back in business.

507
00:42:47,478 --> 00:42:49,742
I reconsidered your proposal.

508
00:42:49,814 --> 00:42:53,682
And I agree with you, Mr. White.
Metropolis does need the Daily Planet.

509
00:42:53,885 --> 00:42:57,412
Besides, one more nail
in Lex Luthor's coffin will suit me fine.

510
00:42:58,022 --> 00:43:00,456
I do have some ideas about modernization.

511
00:43:00,758 --> 00:43:03,386
- Modernization?
- Yes, improvements, expansion.

512
00:43:03,527 --> 00:43:04,892
Wanna see the plans?

513
00:43:04,962 --> 00:43:07,692
Mr. Stern, just a doggone minute here.

514
00:43:08,065 --> 00:43:09,623
Stern!

515
00:43:10,234 --> 00:43:12,429
What do you mean by modernization?

516
00:43:23,414 --> 00:43:26,542
I've never seen anything so beautiful
in my entire life.

517
00:43:33,391 --> 00:43:37,157
You never gave up on the Planet...

518
00:43:38,162 --> 00:43:41,495
on your friends, on me.

519
00:43:42,733 --> 00:43:44,098
I couldn't.

520
00:43:45,136 --> 00:43:49,470
You just named probably everything
in this world that's precious to me.

521
00:43:52,643 --> 00:43:54,838
I don't think I've ever...

522
00:43:56,647 --> 00:43:59,377
Will ever meet anyone quite like you.

523
00:44:04,155 --> 00:44:05,520
- Lois.
- Clark.

524
00:44:07,191 --> 00:44:09,625
- No, let me go first.
- No, not this time.

525
00:44:11,495 --> 00:44:14,953
Lois, I'm sorry about a lot of things.

526
00:44:17,702 --> 00:44:21,832
I wanted to bring Luthor down,
but I never wanted to hurt you.

527
00:44:24,575 --> 00:44:26,805
I shouldn't have said anything...

528
00:44:27,545 --> 00:44:29,410
about the way I felt towards you.

529
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,471
It put you in
an incredibly awkward position.

530
00:44:31,549 --> 00:44:35,007
- No, Clark, I really...
- No, the truth of the matter is, Lois...

531
00:44:35,419 --> 00:44:36,943
it wasn't true.

532
00:44:38,155 --> 00:44:40,385
I'm not in love with you.

533
00:44:42,093 --> 00:44:43,458
You're not?

534
00:44:44,095 --> 00:44:47,895
I would've said anything
to stop you from marrying Luthor.

535
00:44:54,071 --> 00:44:57,734
- Well, if that's how you feel...
- I want the same thing you want.

536
00:44:58,275 --> 00:45:01,210
For us to be friends. Partners.

537
00:45:02,847 --> 00:45:04,178
Forever.

538
00:45:06,917 --> 00:45:08,145
Forever.

539
00:45:16,961 --> 00:45:18,986
What did you wanna say?

540
00:45:20,998 --> 00:45:25,492
Nothing. What you said...
I'm just, that sort of...

541
00:45:31,008 --> 00:45:33,772
Help! Somebody please help me!

542
00:45:34,445 --> 00:45:38,541
Can you excuse me for a second?
We can continue this later. I have to go.

543
00:45:38,883 --> 00:45:42,284
Sure, why not? Go.

544
00:45:43,254 --> 00:45:47,190
Run off and disappear like you always do
when we're having a discussion.

545
00:45:49,827 --> 00:45:52,762
Well, I guess everything's back to normal.

546
00:45:59,804 --> 00:46:02,500
I'm not done with you either, big fella.

547
00:46:42,813 --> 00:46:43,871
English
