1
00:00:04,771 --> 00:00:07,706
I think I need you
to explain this to me again.

2
00:00:07,874 --> 00:00:11,002
- Mrs. Cox called you from prison?
- She said, and I quote:

3
00:00:11,177 --> 00:00:13,771
"If you wanna find out
what happened to Lex Luthor...

4
00:00:13,947 --> 00:00:17,246
...try a night visit
to the Perpetual Pine Cemetery."

5
00:00:17,417 --> 00:00:20,215
So here we are.
Don't you care what happened to Lex?

6
00:00:20,387 --> 00:00:22,878
You know, actually...

7
00:00:28,628 --> 00:00:29,617
It's a guard.

8
00:00:30,196 --> 00:00:33,131
Clark, I don't see anybody,
and I have better eyesight than you.

9
00:00:33,299 --> 00:00:34,425
You wear glasses.

10
00:00:39,739 --> 00:00:41,730
<i>Woe is me.

11
00:00:53,186 --> 00:00:57,122
<i>The end is near.
<i>I face the final curtain.

12
00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:04,093
Well, Mama, I guess you were
right about me all along.

13
00:01:04,264 --> 00:01:07,756
Everything I touch turns to cow patties.

14
00:01:07,934 --> 00:01:09,765
And it's not like I'm not used to it...

15
00:01:09,936 --> 00:01:13,872
...because Lord knows I am,
after a whole entire lifetime of it.

16
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,170
And if it were just me, it doesn't matter,
really it doesn't matter.

17
00:01:18,344 --> 00:01:21,313
But, Mama, I have gone
and I have lost all the money...

18
00:01:21,481 --> 00:01:26,316
...and I cannot afford to keep sister
in the rest home past the end of the month.

19
00:01:26,486 --> 00:01:31,651
So beings as how I'm just about
as worthless as a one-legged bird dog<i>...

20
00:01:55,081 --> 00:01:57,948
Oh, my goodness gracious.

21
00:02:00,820 --> 00:02:03,380
Sir, please, listen to me.

22
00:02:03,556 --> 00:02:07,117
Life is a very precious gift.

23
00:02:07,293 --> 00:02:11,787
Every new day that we're alive
is a chance for us to be the best we can be.

24
00:02:11,965 --> 00:02:14,160
Oh, please.
What would you know about it...

25
00:02:14,334 --> 00:02:17,201
...Mr. Nothing-Can-Hurt-Me-
l-Don't-Need-Money-To-Live?

26
00:02:17,370 --> 00:02:21,830
And didn't anybody ever tell you that
two primary colors do not work together?

27
00:02:22,008 --> 00:02:24,169
You can make fun
of my appearance if you like...

28
00:02:24,711 --> 00:02:27,646
...or you can talk about
what's really bothering you.

29
00:02:27,814 --> 00:02:29,247
Which do you prefer?

30
00:02:29,415 --> 00:02:33,078
Well, if you put it that way<i>...

31
00:02:44,030 --> 00:02:45,258
Clark?

32
00:02:45,431 --> 00:02:49,162
What with Wandamae needing
professional help and all...

33
00:02:49,335 --> 00:02:51,235
...and me getting that very bad advice...

34
00:02:51,404 --> 00:02:54,999
...about how biodegradable golf clubs
were gonna be the wave of the future...

35
00:02:55,175 --> 00:02:57,336
...and I needed to get in
on the ground floor...

36
00:02:57,510 --> 00:03:02,106
...well, you can see how my life is just...
It's just not worth living anymore.

37
00:03:05,118 --> 00:03:06,608
Clark?

38
00:03:06,786 --> 00:03:08,014
I just... I feel so guilty.

39
00:03:08,188 --> 00:03:10,782
- <i>Clark? Where are you?
- My daddy went to an early grave.

40
00:03:10,957 --> 00:03:12,515
This one, in fact, right here.

41
00:03:12,692 --> 00:03:16,059
Making all that money,
what did I do? Lost it. One filth.

42
00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:21,030
Sir, Metropolis General Hospital has
a referral service for counseling and therapy.

43
00:03:21,367 --> 00:03:23,164
There are people there you can talk to.

44
00:03:23,336 --> 00:03:28,069
People that can make you see
that life is worth living.

45
00:03:35,848 --> 00:03:38,976
Well, that's easy for you to say.

46
00:03:40,086 --> 00:03:41,747
Well, Mama...

47
00:03:41,921 --> 00:03:45,687
...looks like I'm not gonna be
joining you and Daddy after all.

48
00:03:45,858 --> 00:03:49,350
At least, not any time soon.

49
00:03:59,472 --> 00:04:01,906
Oh, my gosh.

50
00:05:14,147 --> 00:05:17,275
Well, of course we got kicked out.
And whose fault is that?

51
00:05:17,450 --> 00:05:21,079
I'm not the one that stepped on
the only dry twig in the entire cemetery...

52
00:05:21,254 --> 00:05:22,744
...just when that guard came by.

53
00:05:22,922 --> 00:05:24,787
You are the one who believed Mrs. Cox...

54
00:05:24,957 --> 00:05:28,154
...when she told you Lex Luthor is alive
somewhere in the cemetery.

55
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:29,556
A, how could he be alive?

56
00:05:29,729 --> 00:05:32,755
And, B, if he is alive, what would
he be doing in a cemetery?

57
00:05:32,932 --> 00:05:35,730
- Mr. Kent. Morning, sir.
- I didn't disbelieve or believe her.

58
00:05:35,902 --> 00:05:39,338
I'm a reporter. A reporter follows leads.
That's what they do, in case...

59
00:05:50,850 --> 00:05:52,317
Clark?

60
00:05:53,286 --> 00:05:57,017
- C.K., are you all right?
- Yeah.

61
00:06:05,331 --> 00:06:08,698
Well, you're just about
the prettiest thing I've saved so far.

62
00:06:08,868 --> 00:06:12,031
Though the day is young,
and my experience is somewhat limited.

63
00:06:13,005 --> 00:06:14,973
Who are you?

64
00:06:16,476 --> 00:06:20,469
That's for me to know
and you to find out, little missy.

65
00:06:22,515 --> 00:06:26,474
Now, by thunder, this is a story.
A new superhero in Metropolis.

66
00:06:26,652 --> 00:06:28,745
Who is this guy?

67
00:06:29,422 --> 00:06:30,821
Clark.

68
00:06:32,558 --> 00:06:34,924
- Yeah, I was...
- Clark, you're a very lucky man.

69
00:06:35,094 --> 00:06:38,029
A couple of inches either way,
you'd have been under the wheels.

70
00:06:38,197 --> 00:06:40,859
You know, it's a shame
about this suit though.

71
00:06:41,033 --> 00:06:43,024
Not much they can do
about tears like that.

72
00:06:43,202 --> 00:06:46,569
What? Excuse me!

73
00:06:47,407 --> 00:06:49,807
It's a bill.
He's charging me 32.50.

74
00:06:49,976 --> 00:06:55,573
"A small price to pay for being plucked alive
from the snapping jaws of certain death."

75
00:06:55,748 --> 00:06:58,512
I want you to track this guy down.
Find out who he is.

76
00:06:58,684 --> 00:07:00,879
I want an exclusive.

77
00:07:01,154 --> 00:07:04,590
We should start with that costume.
He didn't buy that off the rack.

78
00:07:04,757 --> 00:07:08,318
And there's a tattoo on his hand.
And we need to talk to Superman.

79
00:07:08,494 --> 00:07:11,861
- You go ahead. I'll catch up with you.
- Clark, this is big, this is huge.

80
00:07:12,031 --> 00:07:14,761
What could be more important
than the story of the century?

81
00:07:14,934 --> 00:07:16,993
I have to change my suit.

82
00:07:21,641 --> 00:07:26,078
- I'm busy. Tell Mr. Hofus to hold.
- Somebody save my sweet little Muffin.

83
00:07:26,245 --> 00:07:29,271
- Can you save her, please?
- Yes, ma'am, I sure can.

84
00:07:29,449 --> 00:07:32,145
Is your sweet little Muffin
a dog or a cat?

85
00:07:32,318 --> 00:07:35,651
A dog. Yes, a wonderful little dog.
Oh, please help me.

86
00:07:35,822 --> 00:07:39,087
Now, dogs are 29.95.

87
00:07:39,258 --> 00:07:43,160
Well, it's a small price to pay
for being plucked alive...

88
00:07:43,329 --> 00:07:46,924
...from the snapping jaws
of certain death.

89
00:08:01,948 --> 00:08:05,179
Thank you, Superman.
Thank you.

90
00:08:09,255 --> 00:08:11,587
Excuse me, Mr. Boy Scout.

91
00:08:11,757 --> 00:08:15,659
Is there not work enough for both of us?
Do I horn in on your action?

92
00:08:16,362 --> 00:08:17,693
Can we go someplace and talk?

93
00:08:17,864 --> 00:08:20,560
You wanna provide your services for free,
that's up to you.

94
00:08:20,733 --> 00:08:22,530
But I have bills I have to pay.

95
00:08:22,702 --> 00:08:24,932
Can we go have a private conversation?

96
00:08:25,104 --> 00:08:27,937
I'm not greedy.
My rates are real reasonable.

97
00:08:28,107 --> 00:08:31,543
I'm not an ogre.
I'll provide a little pro bono work.

98
00:08:31,711 --> 00:08:33,838
How about I pay you to come talk?

99
00:08:34,313 --> 00:08:37,077
That brings up another point
that I've been wondering about.

100
00:08:37,250 --> 00:08:39,241
Where do you carry money in that outfit?

101
00:08:39,418 --> 00:08:41,613
I tried sewing a little pocket
under here...

102
00:08:41,787 --> 00:08:44,688
...but it's so much trouble.
I have to fumble for the zipper.

103
00:08:44,857 --> 00:08:46,757
I have to zip it open,
zip it closed.

104
00:08:47,126 --> 00:08:50,152
I thought about Velcro, but I'm afraid
it would pucker the fabric.

105
00:08:50,329 --> 00:08:53,127
It would just absolutely ruin the lines.
What do you do?

106
00:08:53,733 --> 00:08:55,257
If you don't come with me...

107
00:08:55,434 --> 00:08:59,165
...l'm gonna follow you everywhere you go
until the day that one of us dies...

108
00:08:59,338 --> 00:09:01,431
...and I'm gonna save everybody
before you do.

109
00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:05,606
Well, you don't have to get
nasty about it.

110
00:09:05,778 --> 00:09:08,440
My goodness gracious.
All you had to do was ask.

111
00:09:08,614 --> 00:09:10,548
How rude.

112
00:09:15,054 --> 00:09:16,578
But how could that have happened?

113
00:09:16,756 --> 00:09:19,884
I've been struck by lightning
and my powers have never transferred.

114
00:09:20,259 --> 00:09:23,922
Don't look at me. All I know is,
one minute I was a 90-pound weakling...

115
00:09:24,096 --> 00:09:26,656
...and the next minute,
I was a 90-pound Hercules.

116
00:09:26,832 --> 00:09:29,596
I like it much better this way.

117
00:09:29,769 --> 00:09:32,294
Well, I can understand that, Mr...?

118
00:09:32,838 --> 00:09:36,604
- What should I call you?
- I haven't even thought of a good name yet.

119
00:09:36,776 --> 00:09:38,403
What do you think of "Brawny Man"?

120
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:40,978
I'm sure you're gonna come up
with the perfect name.

121
00:09:41,147 --> 00:09:44,412
But right now, I'd like to have
a talk with you about right and wrong.

122
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,747
Well, if you think you know
that much more about it than I do<i>...

123
00:09:48,454 --> 00:09:52,356
You can't charge people
for saving their lives.

124
00:09:52,525 --> 00:09:54,390
Well, my goodness me.

125
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:57,085
If that isn't worth something,
I don't know what is.

126
00:09:57,263 --> 00:10:01,495
Excuse me, but I'm just plying a legitimate,
if somewhat unique, trade...

127
00:10:01,667 --> 00:10:05,103
...to an increasingly
service-oriented economy.

128
00:10:05,271 --> 00:10:07,068
I'd think you'd welcome the help.

129
00:10:07,239 --> 00:10:11,335
You may be Superman,
but you can't do everything.

130
00:10:11,510 --> 00:10:14,172
Bye, now. Geronimo!

131
00:11:00,126 --> 00:11:01,684
Lex.

132
00:11:01,861 --> 00:11:04,694
Superman's powers can be transferred.

133
00:11:04,864 --> 00:11:08,664
Electricity and a conductor, so simple.

134
00:11:08,834 --> 00:11:10,927
So reproducible.

135
00:11:11,103 --> 00:11:13,936
And when I can duplicate
the circumstances...

136
00:11:14,106 --> 00:11:17,735
...you and I will have super powers, Lex.

137
00:11:18,477 --> 00:11:22,937
And Superman will be
powerless to stop us.

138
00:11:27,953 --> 00:11:30,979
- How do you suppose that happened?
- I don't know, Dad.

139
00:11:31,157 --> 00:11:34,149
All I know is, I wish it had
turned out a little bit different.

140
00:11:34,326 --> 00:11:36,692
Clark, you did the right thing.
You saved a life.

141
00:11:36,862 --> 00:11:40,093
I know, Mom, but it's just such a mess.

142
00:11:40,266 --> 00:11:43,429
I mean, this little guy
just does not understand the responsibility.

143
00:11:44,270 --> 00:11:47,637
- Well, he's new at it. Maybe he'll learn.
- I don't think so.

144
00:11:47,807 --> 00:11:50,935
You have super powers
because the Earth's sun is yellow.

145
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:56,707
The sun's heat and energy create clouds.
Lightning occurs only in clouds.

146
00:11:56,882 --> 00:11:58,577
Cumulonimbus clouds, to be exact.

147
00:11:58,751 --> 00:12:01,845
Jonathan, this isn't about
trying to figure out what happened.

148
00:12:02,021 --> 00:12:05,286
Everybody at the <i>Planet
is trying to get this guy's story.

149
00:12:05,691 --> 00:12:07,454
Who is he?
Where did he come from?

150
00:12:07,626 --> 00:12:09,355
Where did he get his super powers?

151
00:12:09,662 --> 00:12:13,154
I'm a reporter. I work at the <i>Planet,
and I know the answer.

152
00:12:13,899 --> 00:12:18,131
But I can't tell anyone
because I don't want anyone else to know.

153
00:12:18,304 --> 00:12:21,467
Can you imagine? Every single time
that Superman touched down...

154
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,076
...he would be mobbed
by people wanting super powers.

155
00:12:25,845 --> 00:12:28,040
I just... I don't know what to do.

156
00:12:36,689 --> 00:12:39,556
I know it's kind of unimaginative,
candy, flowers and all.

157
00:12:39,725 --> 00:12:42,626
But I guess, at heart,
I'm just an old-fashioned kind of guy.

158
00:12:42,795 --> 00:12:46,060
- May I come in?
- Absolutely.

159
00:12:46,232 --> 00:12:49,326
I flew all the way to South America...

160
00:12:49,702 --> 00:12:52,671
...to pick these lovely flowers
along the banks of the Amazon...

161
00:12:52,838 --> 00:12:56,137
...just to let you know
how special I think you are.

162
00:12:56,308 --> 00:12:59,505
I didn't know that daisies
and carnations and baby's breath...

163
00:12:59,678 --> 00:13:02,340
...were rain forest kinds of plants.

164
00:13:02,848 --> 00:13:05,976
Oh, they're Brazilian daisies,
Brazilian carnations...

165
00:13:06,152 --> 00:13:08,484
...and Chilean baby's breath.

166
00:13:08,654 --> 00:13:12,647
They were brought to the New World
by some very famous explorers.

167
00:13:12,825 --> 00:13:15,555
It was... It was a long, long time ago.

168
00:13:18,531 --> 00:13:20,726
Well, please, sit down.

169
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:23,095
Would you mind
if I asked you a few questions?

170
00:13:23,269 --> 00:13:25,829
- You mean, like an interview?
- Yes.

171
00:13:26,005 --> 00:13:28,371
Ms. Lane... You don't mind
if I call you Ms. Lane?

172
00:13:28,541 --> 00:13:33,444
This is very a bad idea, tossing out your
financial records without shredding them.

173
00:13:33,612 --> 00:13:36,342
Dishonest people
pray for this sort of trash.

174
00:13:39,285 --> 00:13:41,845
Well, that's better.

175
00:13:42,955 --> 00:13:46,254
Those were my '94 tax records.

176
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,552
Oh, my goodness.

177
00:13:52,064 --> 00:13:54,191
What was it you wanted to ask me?

178
00:13:57,503 --> 00:13:59,403
Who are you?

179
00:14:02,174 --> 00:14:05,541
- Well, are you from Krypton too?
- Oh, no, ma'am. I'm from Tennessee.

180
00:14:06,178 --> 00:14:07,611
Really?

181
00:14:07,780 --> 00:14:12,274
- Have you always had super powers?
- No, this is sort of a recent development.

182
00:14:12,451 --> 00:14:17,582
- How did you get them?
- Well, now, that is quite a story.

183
00:14:17,756 --> 00:14:21,692
But I'm negotiating right now with some
interesting people about selling my rights...

184
00:14:21,861 --> 00:14:25,160
...so I can't give it up for free.
I'm sure you understand.

185
00:14:25,331 --> 00:14:30,234
But I've been thinking,
maybe you could publish my price list...

186
00:14:30,402 --> 00:14:34,270
...so I don't have to keep repeating myself
every time I save somebody.

187
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,934
Have you no shame, Mr...?
What do I call you?

188
00:14:39,478 --> 00:14:42,641
Well, maybe you can help me
with that too. I can't decide.

189
00:14:42,815 --> 00:14:47,445
I keep leaning towards
"Magnificent Man."

190
00:14:48,487 --> 00:14:52,355
But how about "splendid"?
There's "majestic."

191
00:14:52,524 --> 00:14:55,322
- How about "glorious"?
- Vainglorious.

192
00:14:55,628 --> 00:14:57,357
What?

193
00:14:57,897 --> 00:15:03,995
I said, the main story is, who are you
and how you got your super powers.

194
00:15:04,169 --> 00:15:06,797
You don't seem to wanna
answer those questions.

195
00:15:07,072 --> 00:15:08,972
Well, maybe I might...

196
00:15:09,141 --> 00:15:11,268
...if you gave me a bunch of money.

197
00:15:11,443 --> 00:15:15,209
Or then again, you could be my girlfriend.

198
00:15:20,719 --> 00:15:24,780
Hi, Lois. I see you have company.
I should've called.

199
00:15:24,957 --> 00:15:28,950
No, no, come in. Please, do.
I want you to meet...

200
00:15:29,328 --> 00:15:31,990
...the man with the super powers
and no name.

201
00:15:32,164 --> 00:15:35,531
- This is Clark Kent, my colleague.
- And friend.

202
00:15:35,701 --> 00:15:36,998
And friend.

203
00:15:37,636 --> 00:15:42,335
- How good a friend?
- Good friend.

204
00:15:42,508 --> 00:15:44,840
- Very good friend.
- Very good friend.

205
00:15:45,144 --> 00:15:47,669
But nothing romantic
or anything like that.

206
00:15:47,846 --> 00:15:49,643
Well, you keep on looking.

207
00:15:49,815 --> 00:15:51,908
One of these days,
you're gonna find somebody.

208
00:15:52,084 --> 00:15:53,278
You're a handsome boy.

209
00:15:53,452 --> 00:15:55,750
Though I suggest
getting rid of the glasses.

210
00:15:55,921 --> 00:16:00,756
Get you some contacts.
Oh, and don't forget about my price list.

211
00:16:00,926 --> 00:16:02,723
Whee doggy!

212
00:16:04,730 --> 00:16:07,460
I'm sure you'll be very happy together.

213
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:09,294
Bite your tongue.

214
00:16:09,468 --> 00:16:12,164
I was just trying to get an interview.

215
00:16:12,338 --> 00:16:16,172
- Really?
- Yes, really.

216
00:16:17,843 --> 00:16:22,837
So after going to 16 tattoo parlors...
Only they call them "dermal emporiums."

217
00:16:23,015 --> 00:16:26,075
- I finally found somebody
who recognized the tattoo on his hand...

218
00:16:26,251 --> 00:16:30,950
...as the work of a dermal artiste
named Allegra Venom.

219
00:16:31,123 --> 00:16:32,784
I'm not making this up.

220
00:16:32,958 --> 00:16:35,483
But I couldn't get to the place
before it was closed...

221
00:16:35,661 --> 00:16:37,458
...so that's on the list for tomorrow.

222
00:16:38,130 --> 00:16:42,760
- I've never been to a tattoo parlor.
- Oh, it's an experience.

223
00:16:43,068 --> 00:16:46,697
- I don't know. Wanna try it? It's coconut.
- Thanks.

224
00:16:47,206 --> 00:16:52,473
Yes, that's one of my most
successful designs, artistically speaking.

225
00:16:53,178 --> 00:16:55,669
That would look fabulous on you.

226
00:16:55,848 --> 00:16:59,750
You have such a nice body.

227
00:16:59,918 --> 00:17:03,684
So smooth and hard, like polished steel.

228
00:17:03,856 --> 00:17:05,915
Did you do this tattoo?

229
00:17:06,592 --> 00:17:10,824
Dermal design? On a little guy
with a Southern accent, right here?

230
00:17:10,996 --> 00:17:13,624
I love working on a big canvas.

231
00:17:14,233 --> 00:17:17,999
I'll think about it, Ms. Venom.

232
00:17:18,670 --> 00:17:19,659
In the meantime<i>...

233
00:17:20,939 --> 00:17:24,568
- Yes, a little guy with a Southern accent.
- Do you remember his name?

234
00:17:24,743 --> 00:17:27,143
Names? You want me
to remember names?

235
00:17:27,312 --> 00:17:28,472
Do you keep records?

236
00:17:42,694 --> 00:17:43,683
Well<i>...

237
00:17:43,862 --> 00:17:46,592
- Do you have backup?
- That was the backup.

238
00:17:47,166 --> 00:17:49,999
Listen, if you can remember that name...

239
00:17:50,169 --> 00:17:55,004
...l'll talk Clark here into letting you tattoo
the Battle of Midway on his chest.

240
00:17:57,242 --> 00:17:59,733
Winchecker...? Woolpepper...?

241
00:17:59,912 --> 00:18:02,676
Waldecker. It was Waldecker.

242
00:18:02,848 --> 00:18:05,180
William Wallace Webster<i>...

243
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:08,842
Waldecker.
William Wallace Webster Waldecker.

244
00:18:09,021 --> 00:18:10,682
I'm here to see my sister, Wandamae.

245
00:18:10,856 --> 00:18:13,381
Wandamae Wingfield Waldecker.

246
00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:16,653
Tell Mrs. Lincoln she has a visitor.

247
00:18:16,962 --> 00:18:20,830
The president and I spent our first night
in the White House Friday night.

248
00:18:20,999 --> 00:18:24,196
Abe couldn't get used
to having so many servants.

249
00:18:24,369 --> 00:18:26,166
I told him he'd better
get used to it...

250
00:18:26,338 --> 00:18:29,307
...if he didn't want people to think
of him as a country bumpkin.

251
00:18:30,976 --> 00:18:33,501
And that's wonderful,
Wandamae, but l...

252
00:18:33,679 --> 00:18:34,907
- Hey?
- I'm here.

253
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,174
I want you to try to focus
on what I'm telling you.

254
00:18:38,350 --> 00:18:42,480
Now that I've got Superman's powers,
everything's gonna be okay.

255
00:18:43,322 --> 00:18:47,349
Wait a minute.
You've got Superman's powers?

256
00:18:47,526 --> 00:18:51,986
- That's what I've been trying to tell you.
- Well, why didn't you tell me sooner?

257
00:18:52,164 --> 00:18:55,133
We could've used Superman
at Fort Sumter.

258
00:18:57,970 --> 00:19:01,371
I was really, really worried
for a while there.

259
00:19:01,540 --> 00:19:03,531
Because, sister, I love you so much...

260
00:19:03,709 --> 00:19:08,840
...and I just wanna take care of you
the way I promised Mama I would.

261
00:19:09,014 --> 00:19:11,073
You're a good boy, Tad.

262
00:19:11,683 --> 00:19:14,516
I wish you could see my costume.

263
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:19,180
It's orange and blue,
and I've got boots that I wear with it.

264
00:19:19,358 --> 00:19:22,293
Well, it's kind of hard to explain.
I can't show it to you here.

265
00:19:23,028 --> 00:19:26,589
Oh, Tad, I'm sure
it looks just resplendent.

266
00:19:28,667 --> 00:19:30,828
Resplendent.

267
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:37,100
- Okay. Okay, do it.
- Here's the church<i>...

268
00:19:47,553 --> 00:19:49,350
I know who you are.

269
00:19:49,521 --> 00:19:51,989
Then you do, as they say,
have the advantage over me.

270
00:19:52,157 --> 00:19:53,590
Just the way I like it.

271
00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:56,853
It makes life so much more
pleasant for me.

272
00:19:58,230 --> 00:20:00,824
You see? I do know who you are...

273
00:20:00,999 --> 00:20:04,935
...and I can make you rich
beyond your wildest dreams.

274
00:20:05,103 --> 00:20:08,595
- Shoot, I can do that all by myself.
- I can do it faster.

275
00:20:10,075 --> 00:20:13,943
Well, aren't you just
the sweetest thing to offer.

276
00:20:14,112 --> 00:20:17,275
- I think we understand each other.
- I reckon we probably do.

277
00:20:17,449 --> 00:20:19,007
What do you want?

278
00:20:19,184 --> 00:20:23,780
Three people know how you got
your powers: You, Superman and me.

279
00:20:24,790 --> 00:20:28,487
Oh, my goodness. I knew this would happen
if anybody found out.

280
00:20:28,660 --> 00:20:32,118
- You want the powers too, don't you?
- I'm a scientist.

281
00:20:32,297 --> 00:20:34,731
I can duplicate
the conditions for transfer.

282
00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:38,969
I could see why you'd wanna do that,
but why would I wanna help you?

283
00:20:41,173 --> 00:20:43,971
Because I'm part of the deal.

284
00:20:47,346 --> 00:20:49,246
Well...

285
00:20:50,716 --> 00:20:53,446
...that's a mighty attractive
inducement...

286
00:20:53,619 --> 00:20:59,489
...but, see, I don't feel
you're truly an honest person.

287
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:04,791
So basically, you've got
no leverage, blondie.

288
00:21:05,297 --> 00:21:08,926
But you sure are cute
when you're mad. Ta-ta.

289
00:21:09,868 --> 00:21:11,961
William Wallace Webster Waldecker.

290
00:21:12,137 --> 00:21:15,834
He's not married, both parents are dead,
he has a sister in an institution.

291
00:21:16,174 --> 00:21:21,111
- What kind of an institution?
- For people who are challenged by reality.

292
00:21:21,580 --> 00:21:22,808
One of those.

293
00:21:22,981 --> 00:21:26,314
They moved here from Little Big-Holler,
Tennessee, 25 years ago.

294
00:21:26,485 --> 00:21:29,613
Hey, guys, you're not gonna believe this.

295
00:21:29,788 --> 00:21:33,019
<i>In trouble?
<i>Need help no mere mortal could provide?

296
00:21:33,458 --> 00:21:35,323
<i>Call Resplendent Man.

297
00:21:36,528 --> 00:21:40,931
<i>When disaster rages,
<i>when destruction surges...

298
00:21:41,099 --> 00:21:45,001
<i>... when annihilation crashes,

299
00:21:45,170 --> 00:21:48,469
<i>... call Resplendent Man.

300

301
00:21:51,777 --> 00:21:55,474
- <i>Call 1-900-01-RES-QU.
- He even charges for the call.

302
00:21:55,647 --> 00:21:59,674
- <i>$3.98 for the first 15 seconds.
- How greedy can you get?

303
00:21:59,851 --> 00:22:04,515
How can some guy from Little Big-Holler,
Tennessee, end up with super powers?

304
00:22:04,856 --> 00:22:07,757
- Did you ask him that?
- Of course, Perry. He wouldn't tell me.

305
00:22:07,926 --> 00:22:10,554
Well, did either of you
think to ask Superman, huh?

306
00:22:10,729 --> 00:22:13,425
<i>You have reached
<i>the voice of Resplendent Man.

307
00:22:13,598 --> 00:22:16,658
<i>If your situation
<i>is a bona fide emergency, press one.

308
00:22:16,835 --> 00:22:18,826
<i>If you could wait
<i>a little while, press two.

309
00:22:19,004 --> 00:22:25,034
<i>If you'd like to join the Resplendent Man
<i>fan club for a really tiny fee, press three.

310
00:22:25,210 --> 00:22:27,542
Can you believe this guy?

311
00:22:27,879 --> 00:22:29,437
Where's Clark?

312
00:22:41,593 --> 00:22:43,959
Well, slap me silly.

313
00:22:52,204 --> 00:22:54,900
- Do you mind?
- Yes, I do mind.

314
00:22:55,073 --> 00:22:58,372
I have tried to be patient.
I have tried to be understanding.

315
00:22:58,543 --> 00:23:01,671
Get a grip here.
Do I tell you what to do?

316
00:23:01,847 --> 00:23:05,078
No, I don't. I'd appreciate
the same courtesy from you.

317
00:23:06,518 --> 00:23:09,043
You will take this to heart.

318
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:11,519
You will memorize it, you will live it.

319
00:23:11,690 --> 00:23:14,181
The strong do not exploit the weak.

320
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,123
The powerful
do not attack the defenseless.

321
00:23:17,295 --> 00:23:22,096
And you do not use your x-ray vision
to spy on women in a locker room.

322
00:23:22,267 --> 00:23:25,259
Oh, please.
What planet are you from?

323
00:23:25,804 --> 00:23:29,467
Try to grasp this.
It's not a really hard concept.

324
00:23:29,641 --> 00:23:31,006
You may not like what I do...

325
00:23:31,176 --> 00:23:34,509
...but there's not really a blessed thing
you can do about it.

326
00:23:40,986 --> 00:23:44,820
- Where have you been?
- Oh, I've been hanging around.

327
00:23:44,990 --> 00:23:46,355
We need to talk to Superman...

328
00:23:46,525 --> 00:23:48,618
...and the only way I can
get his attention...

329
00:23:48,794 --> 00:23:51,763
...is to fall out a window,
which I'd rather not do, or tell you.

330
00:23:51,930 --> 00:23:53,522
- So here I am.
- I'll be right back.

331
00:23:53,698 --> 00:23:55,063
I forgot my mail downstairs.

332
00:23:55,233 --> 00:23:58,066
Clark, this is important.
You can get your mail later.

333
00:23:58,236 --> 00:24:02,002
Yeah, but I'm expecting my
Cheese-of-the-Month shipment.

334
00:24:02,174 --> 00:24:03,505
I'll be right back.

335
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,776
You don't have to
fall out of a window, Lois.

336
00:24:12,651 --> 00:24:15,142
Clark! Clark!

337
00:24:16,755 --> 00:24:19,121
Clark and I, we thought
that you might be able...

338
00:24:19,291 --> 00:24:22,317
...to help us find out
how this thing happened.

339
00:24:22,494 --> 00:24:24,985
Believe me, Lois,
I was as surprised as anyone else...

340
00:24:25,163 --> 00:24:27,654
...to find out there was
another person like me.

341
00:24:27,833 --> 00:24:29,323
But you talked to him?

342
00:24:29,968 --> 00:24:33,734
I wish I could help you, Lois,
and Clark and Perry, but I can't.

343
00:24:35,307 --> 00:24:40,210
So you have no idea how this happened?

344
00:24:45,116 --> 00:24:48,779
When you talked to him,
did he answer your questions?

345
00:24:50,255 --> 00:24:51,813
No.

346
00:24:52,591 --> 00:24:55,651
And you don't seem to be
answering them either.

347
00:24:56,728 --> 00:24:58,059
I'm sorry, Lois.

348
00:24:58,230 --> 00:25:02,064
I wish I could help you, but I can't.

349
00:25:13,011 --> 00:25:14,376
No cheese.

350
00:25:18,717 --> 00:25:23,279
You see, my daddy thought I could make
a better match than with a politician...

351
00:25:23,455 --> 00:25:27,619
...but I have never regretted
ignoring Daddy's advice.

352
00:25:27,792 --> 00:25:31,853
No, not your father,
your brother, William.

353
00:25:32,030 --> 00:25:34,362
William Wallace Webster Waldecker?

354
00:25:34,533 --> 00:25:37,024
I know, it is a mouthful, isn't it?

355
00:25:37,202 --> 00:25:39,261
But then, there was a lot of family.

356
00:25:39,437 --> 00:25:42,235
So he was named William
after our daddy's great-granddaddy...

357
00:25:42,407 --> 00:25:44,307
...who lost three fingers at Antietam<i>...

358
00:25:44,476 --> 00:25:46,944
I don't think we're gonna get
much useful information.

359
00:25:47,112 --> 00:25:48,204
Maybe we should just go.

360
00:25:48,380 --> 00:25:50,507
- Great big old alligator.

361
00:25:50,682 --> 00:25:53,207
Oh, the dog was fine,
but Wallace was not.

362
00:25:53,385 --> 00:25:55,353
And then there was cousin Webster...

363
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,956
...who didn't actually deserve the honor,
but they needed another W.

364
00:26:00,225 --> 00:26:03,217
But the president and I
like to use his nickname.

365
00:26:03,395 --> 00:26:05,260
We called him Tad.

366
00:26:05,964 --> 00:26:09,764
Well, okay then.
Tad. Have you seen Tad lately?

367
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,199
Oh, yes. He was here quite recently.

368
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:15,301
Yesterday, I think.

369
00:26:15,473 --> 00:26:17,441
Or maybe it was last month.
When was that?

370
00:26:17,609 --> 00:26:19,941
Well, when you saw Tad...

371
00:26:20,111 --> 00:26:23,205
...did he say that
he'd had any changes in his life?

372
00:26:23,381 --> 00:26:25,781
Big changes. Like...

373
00:26:27,319 --> 00:26:29,981
...he can fly?
- Yes, yes.

374
00:26:30,155 --> 00:26:35,286
Isn't it wonderful?
Our little Tad, free. Free as a bird.

375
00:26:35,460 --> 00:26:37,291
You know, he always was
a flighty one.

376
00:26:37,462 --> 00:26:40,590
Okay. I want you to stay with me here,
Wandamae... Mrs. Lincoln.

377
00:26:40,765 --> 00:26:41,959
Yes.

378
00:26:42,634 --> 00:26:47,003
- Did Tad say how he's able to fly?
- Yes, he did.

379
00:26:47,806 --> 00:26:50,400
It's time for you
to see the doctor, Wandamae.

380
00:26:50,575 --> 00:26:52,372
Just two more minutes.

381
00:26:52,544 --> 00:26:55,911
This institution, madam, is not run
for the convenience of its visitors.

382
00:26:56,081 --> 00:26:58,208
Now listen, I don't want
those theater tickets.

383
00:26:58,383 --> 00:27:01,113
I don't care if they're free,
take them away from me.

384
00:27:01,286 --> 00:27:02,651
There are no theater tickets.

385
00:27:02,821 --> 00:27:05,153
- You're going to see the doctor.
- I don't want to.

386
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:08,918
How did you get this job?
Your people skills are somewhat lacking.

387
00:27:09,094 --> 00:27:12,154
- Maybe you'd like your teeth rearranged.
- You can try, Broom Hilda.

388
00:27:12,564 --> 00:27:15,158
Broom Hilda? Why, you...

389
00:27:29,681 --> 00:27:33,117
Wandamae, how did Tad get his powers?

390
00:27:34,152 --> 00:27:36,120
Superman.

391
00:27:37,088 --> 00:27:38,612
What?

392
00:27:40,558 --> 00:27:43,186
Tad got his powers from Superman.

393
00:27:47,632 --> 00:27:51,466
Thank you, General Grant.
The president will be most grateful.

394
00:27:51,636 --> 00:27:54,696
Someday you will command
the Army of the Potomac.

395
00:28:00,712 --> 00:28:02,407
He lied.

396
00:28:02,580 --> 00:28:04,343
Who?

397
00:28:04,516 --> 00:28:07,041
I never thought he'd lie to me.

398
00:28:10,121 --> 00:28:11,588
Oh, what a story this is.

399
00:28:11,756 --> 00:28:14,247
Lois, Wandamae is a little bit confused.

400
00:28:14,426 --> 00:28:18,294
Though I'm sure the doctors can help her.
But what if what she's saying isn't true?

401
00:28:18,463 --> 00:28:24,197
What if it is? If Superman's powers can be
transferred to humans, that's big news.

402
00:28:25,070 --> 00:28:26,435
Excuse me, I have to<i>...

403
00:28:43,221 --> 00:28:45,280
Did you lie to me?

404
00:28:46,458 --> 00:28:50,189
- What makes you say that?
- Either you know what I mean or you don't.

405
00:28:50,361 --> 00:28:54,354
- I didn't lie.
- All right.

406
00:28:54,532 --> 00:28:58,628
Did you lead me to believe something
that wasn't exactly true?

407
00:28:59,137 --> 00:29:00,399
Yes.

408
00:29:00,872 --> 00:29:03,670
I wouldn't have expected that from you.

409
00:29:05,844 --> 00:29:10,406
When I kept kryptonite a secret, it's
because it's life-threatening. This is news.

410
00:29:10,582 --> 00:29:13,881
Do you have any idea what would happen
if this became public?

411
00:29:14,352 --> 00:29:16,115
Everyone would want super powers.

412
00:29:16,287 --> 00:29:18,778
Everyone would think
that they deserved super powers.

413
00:29:18,957 --> 00:29:21,118
It's a reporter's job
to disseminate the news...

414
00:29:21,292 --> 00:29:23,783
...not to ponder the consequences
of every story.

415
00:29:23,962 --> 00:29:26,487
If people pondered
the consequences of their actions...

416
00:29:26,664 --> 00:29:28,825
...this planet wouldn't be
in the state it's in.

417
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,130
- Well, I'm not a philosopher, I'm a reporter.
- And a human being.

418
00:29:33,304 --> 00:29:35,169
Which is more important to you?

419
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,939
I'm only asking you to think about it,
talk it over with Clark.

420
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:40,975
Clark's a reporter too.

421
00:29:41,146 --> 00:29:44,775
Both of you have good hearts, Lois,
and good instincts.

422
00:29:44,949 --> 00:29:46,644
I know you'll do the right thing.

423
00:29:55,593 --> 00:29:58,858
Come on now, Mrs. Lincoln, let's go.
Come on. Get in.

424
00:29:59,798 --> 00:30:02,323
Mind your bonnet. There we go.

425
00:30:10,909 --> 00:30:13,742
This time you've gone too far.
People almost got killed.

426
00:30:14,212 --> 00:30:16,737
Excuse me, I most certainly did not.

427
00:30:16,881 --> 00:30:19,907
That man just had to get out of his car
and out of the way of the train.

428
00:30:20,084 --> 00:30:23,520
Can I help it if he cared more about
his Mustang than he did his own life?

429
00:30:23,688 --> 00:30:25,280
You have super powers.

430
00:30:25,456 --> 00:30:27,481
You pick up the car,
with him inside...

431
00:30:27,659 --> 00:30:29,627
...and move them both out of the way.

432
00:30:29,794 --> 00:30:33,161
- I would've, if you hadn't done it.
- You were negotiating with him.

433
00:30:33,898 --> 00:30:36,696
There was plenty of time.
The train was way down the track.

434
00:30:37,068 --> 00:30:39,536
Did you think about the people
inside the train?

435
00:30:39,704 --> 00:30:41,569
You think about anybody
except yourself?

436
00:30:41,739 --> 00:30:44,731
The situation was under control.
Now, leave me alone.

437
00:30:44,909 --> 00:30:48,640
I don't wanna hear any more
of your carping and complaining.

438
00:30:50,615 --> 00:30:53,175
Here you go, Resplendent Man.

439
00:30:53,718 --> 00:30:56,084
Well, you're gonna listen to it
until it sinks in.

440
00:30:56,254 --> 00:30:59,052
Your behavior is unacceptable.

441
00:31:13,972 --> 00:31:15,872
I don't wanna fight with you.

442
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,201
I just want you to understand
what it means to be...

443
00:31:18,610 --> 00:31:22,774
You can't just act like there's nobody
else who matters but you.

444
00:31:22,947 --> 00:31:25,040
Come on, put them up.
We're gonna duke it out.

445
00:31:25,216 --> 00:31:28,276
One of us has gotta go.
Metropolis isn't big enough for both of us.

446
00:31:28,453 --> 00:31:31,980
Don't you see what kind of example
this sets? I don't wanna fight with you.

447
00:31:32,156 --> 00:31:35,023
Violence is a very poor solution
to conflict.

448
00:31:35,193 --> 00:31:36,956
Okay. Okay.

449
00:31:37,762 --> 00:31:40,287
You do what you gotta do.

450
00:31:42,867 --> 00:31:46,894
Stand still. Come on, fight.
Come on, fight like a superhero.

451
00:31:50,975 --> 00:31:54,376
Come. Come this way.
Watch your step. This way.

452
00:31:58,249 --> 00:32:00,717
Mrs. Lincoln, this way.

453
00:32:02,253 --> 00:32:04,118
- Lois Lane.
- Where is everybody?

454
00:32:04,255 --> 00:32:07,247
I need somebody downtown
right this second. Right this second.

455
00:32:07,625 --> 00:32:09,923
- I'm in the middle of something.
- <i>Lois.

456
00:32:10,094 --> 00:32:12,585
I don't care if you're
in the Atlantic in a lifeboat.

457
00:32:12,764 --> 00:32:14,823
I want you down
at Second and Main right now.

458
00:32:15,199 --> 00:32:17,793
Perry, this may be big.
I have to go. I'll call you back.

459
00:32:18,403 --> 00:32:19,392
Lois!

460
00:32:32,050 --> 00:32:33,312
Stop it.

461
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,283
- I just made my last payment on it.
- I can't believe you.

462
00:32:39,457 --> 00:32:41,322
Excuse me.

463
00:32:42,327 --> 00:32:45,956
Excuse me, are you done here?

464
00:32:46,130 --> 00:32:50,226
I don't wanna miss anything,
but I do have a deadline.

465
00:33:34,979 --> 00:33:39,245
There's no way out,
so you might as well join us.

466
00:33:49,260 --> 00:33:52,195
Well, even superheroes have to eat.

467
00:33:55,500 --> 00:33:58,628
I don't believe you and I
have anything further to discuss.

468
00:33:58,970 --> 00:34:01,700
How's this for leverage, you little tick.

469
00:34:02,006 --> 00:34:04,998
You have Wandamae?
You have my sister? I'll break you in half.

470
00:34:05,209 --> 00:34:08,269
If you do, Wandamae will die.

471
00:34:11,649 --> 00:34:14,140
I'll find her, and I'll save her.

472
00:34:14,318 --> 00:34:16,149
I am Resplendent Man.

473
00:34:16,354 --> 00:34:20,518
Oh, you can find her,
but if you try to save her<i>...

474
00:34:25,029 --> 00:34:27,122
She lied to you, Wandamae.

475
00:34:27,298 --> 00:34:29,823
Now try and focus.

476
00:34:30,001 --> 00:34:34,461
It's 1994, there's no Abe Lincoln.

477
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:36,903
No Ford's Theatre.

478
00:34:37,075 --> 00:34:39,236
No John Wilkes Booth.

479
00:34:39,410 --> 00:34:41,378
Everything is fine.

480
00:34:41,546 --> 00:34:44,879
I just love Tad's outfit, don't you?

481
00:34:45,049 --> 00:34:49,247
Except I'm in a cage, in a bunker,
underneath a mausoleum, in a cemetery.

482
00:34:49,420 --> 00:34:54,483
Nobody knows I'm here
except a bunch of very strange people.

483
00:35:13,277 --> 00:35:16,940
There's no point in trying to convince
Wandamae she's not Mary Todd Lincoln.

484
00:35:17,115 --> 00:35:21,017
But it wasn't very nice to tell her
that Abe had a bad night at the theater.

485
00:35:21,419 --> 00:35:25,253
- And what do you expect that rat to do?
- Shut up and concentrate.

486
00:35:25,556 --> 00:35:28,081
I don't think it has
anything to do with concentration.

487
00:35:28,259 --> 00:35:31,660
I think it's the electricity
and the conductor playing off each other.

488
00:35:31,829 --> 00:35:35,060
- Just shut up, anyway.
- Who are you?

489
00:35:35,233 --> 00:35:40,068
- Tad, can't you get us out of here?
- Oh, darling, I wish I could.

490
00:35:40,238 --> 00:35:42,638
This awful woman
has done something to that cage...

491
00:35:42,807 --> 00:35:45,401
...and if I try to get you out,
the cage will explode...

492
00:35:45,576 --> 00:35:49,068
...and you and Ms. Lane
will surely, surely die.

493
00:35:51,482 --> 00:35:53,575
Unless she's faking it.

494
00:35:53,751 --> 00:35:58,950
Go ahead, bend the steel
with your bare hands, see what happens.

495
00:35:59,223 --> 00:36:02,386
The explosives are motion-sensitive,
little Ms. Lois Lane.

496
00:36:02,627 --> 00:36:04,094
<i>Sensors activated.

497
00:36:05,296 --> 00:36:07,059
So don't shake the bars too hard.

498
00:36:11,335 --> 00:36:12,996
I don't think I should risk it.

499
00:36:13,371 --> 00:36:16,101
- I think you might have to, Will.
- <i>Sensors activated.

500
00:36:18,543 --> 00:36:21,239
She's trying to get
super powers for herself.

501
00:36:21,412 --> 00:36:24,973
And whoever she is, she's clearly
not a person who should have powers.

502
00:36:26,751 --> 00:36:28,651
Here we go.

503
00:36:38,796 --> 00:36:42,732
In fact, she's clearly not a person
who should be allowed out by herself.

504
00:36:42,900 --> 00:36:45,733
Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.
Come on, now. Come on.

505
00:36:45,903 --> 00:36:48,531
Lookie here, I got a nice
warm bowl of milk for you.

506
00:36:48,706 --> 00:36:49,934
Come on. Come out of there.

507
00:36:50,575 --> 00:36:52,873
Kitty, kitty, kitty.

508
00:36:53,044 --> 00:36:54,272
This is great stuff, Clark.

509
00:36:54,445 --> 00:36:56,606
I could see another Kerth Award
in your future.

510
00:36:56,781 --> 00:37:00,217
Which reminds me, where's Lois?

511
00:37:00,718 --> 00:37:04,210
I don't know. When I talked to her,
she said she was onto something big.

512
00:37:04,655 --> 00:37:06,316
- Did she say what?
- No.

513
00:37:06,490 --> 00:37:10,620
But I'm starting to get a little worried.
That gal's got quite a nose for trouble.

514
00:37:11,062 --> 00:37:12,996
Maybe I'll go see if I can find her.

515
00:37:15,866 --> 00:37:18,767
This is really too much.

516
00:37:20,905 --> 00:37:24,534
I think she's getting closer. The meter
didn't go all the way back down last time.

517
00:37:24,709 --> 00:37:26,700
- Just shut up.
- Whatever havoc she wreaks...

518
00:37:26,877 --> 00:37:29,072
...once she has powers,
it'll be on your head.

519
00:37:29,247 --> 00:37:31,010
You just shut up or die.

520
00:37:39,090 --> 00:37:43,686
There are over a million
possible combinations, Ms. Girl Reporter.

521
00:37:43,861 --> 00:37:46,489
I don't think you'll find the right one
in your lifetime...

522
00:37:46,664 --> 00:37:48,655
...which is getting shorter by the instant.

523
00:37:49,533 --> 00:37:54,732
Okay, I duplicated
cloud-to-ground lightning.

524
00:37:54,905 --> 00:38:01,071
The negatively charged atoms move
downward to meet the positively charged<i>...

525
00:38:02,813 --> 00:38:04,212
That's it!

526
00:38:04,382 --> 00:38:07,374
I didn't account for the action
of the return stroke.

527
00:38:07,551 --> 00:38:10,884
You know, I'm really not
feeling good about doing this.

528
00:38:11,255 --> 00:38:14,418
Ms. Lane's right,
and Superman was right all along.

529
00:38:14,592 --> 00:38:16,617
I've been greedy.
I've been selfish.

530
00:38:16,794 --> 00:38:21,390
I just don't think that you and I
are superhero material.

531
00:38:53,864 --> 00:38:57,698
Yes! I've done it.

532
00:39:04,842 --> 00:39:07,572
Nothing can stop us now, my darling.

533
00:39:08,012 --> 00:39:09,775
What is that?

534
00:39:11,816 --> 00:39:14,979
If you only knew,
you wretched little nobody.

535
00:39:15,486 --> 00:39:19,081
- You didn't deserve him.
- What are you talking about?

536
00:39:19,256 --> 00:39:23,454
You did this to him.
You and that overgrown baby, Superman.

537
00:39:23,694 --> 00:39:26,686
You married him and destroyed him,
all on the same day.

538
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,997
- Lex?
- Yes.

539
00:39:33,170 --> 00:39:38,130
This is Lex Luthor,
the last real man in Metropolis.

540
00:39:45,583 --> 00:39:47,915
- Get back on that plate.
- Will, you can't do this.

541
00:39:48,085 --> 00:39:50,246
- Don't you see how dangerous she is?
- Yes, I do.

542
00:39:50,421 --> 00:39:54,357
I do see how dangerous she is.
She's dangerous enough to kill Wandamae.

543
00:39:54,525 --> 00:39:59,224
- Oh, I just... I hate dilemmas.
- I said, back on that plate.

544
00:40:24,188 --> 00:40:25,815
My goodness.

545
00:40:32,596 --> 00:40:34,154
You're too late.

546
00:40:34,331 --> 00:40:37,027
You couldn't kill Lex Luthor,
and you can't kill me.

547
00:40:37,201 --> 00:40:39,726
She made me do it.
She threatened to kill Wandamae.

548
00:40:39,904 --> 00:40:42,202
You can reverse it
if you get her on that plate.

549
00:40:42,373 --> 00:40:44,170
You and what army?

You can't do it, can you?
It's not the superhero thing to do.

553
00:40:59,190 --> 00:41:01,385
Superman, the explosives.

554
00:41:03,127 --> 00:41:04,560
You can't do it, can you?

555
00:41:05,162 --> 00:41:08,063
You can't fight a woman.
You poor sap.

Howdy.

- Right.

If he reverses me, he reverses you.

561
00:41:49,106 --> 00:41:53,509
You really shouldn't have done that.

- Say goodbye to your girlfriend.
- Wait, no!

Now do you see why
I didn't want anybody to know?

00:42:24,475 --> 00:42:28,639
Now, where do you suppose
that nice blond lady went?

572
00:42:35,052 --> 00:42:38,579
Lois, how in the world did you
figure out the combination?

573
00:42:38,756 --> 00:42:41,247
She seemed to be fixated
on my connection to Lex...

574
00:42:41,425 --> 00:42:44,292
...so I tried the date of my wedding.

575
00:42:44,461 --> 00:42:49,194
- Thank God it worked.
- Yes, we do have a lot to be grateful for.

- How's Wandamae?
- Oh, Ms. Lane, she's fine.

577
00:42:52,369 --> 00:42:57,830
Well, she's as fine as Wandamae gets.
Who's to say it's a bad life?

578
00:42:58,442 --> 00:43:04,278
You know, if there's one thing
that I learned from all this...

579
00:43:04,448 --> 00:43:07,508
...it's that life is worth living
for as long as you get to...

580
00:43:07,685 --> 00:43:10,483
...because you never know
what's gonna happen next.

581
00:43:10,654 --> 00:43:14,351
Well, you learned something else.
You found out who you are, deep down.

582
00:43:14,525 --> 00:43:18,655
You did the right thing when it counted,
even though it meant making a big sacrifice.

583
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:23,563
I think Superman would say that
that's what being a hero is all about.

584
00:43:24,368 --> 00:43:28,828
Well, I'm not so sure
it was such a big sacrifice.

585
00:43:29,006 --> 00:43:33,841
To tell you the truth, having super powers
turned out to be kind of a burden.

586
00:43:35,045 --> 00:43:37,980
Well, thank y'all.

587
00:43:39,984 --> 00:43:41,383

Some nobody little guy suddenly wakes up
one morning with super powers...

589

...and just as suddenly, he loses them.

590

Boy, I'd give my pension
to know how it happened.

- Well?
- Well, what?

00:44:09,413 --> 00:44:13,611
How do you feel about not telling Perry
everything that we knew?

594
00:44:13,784 --> 00:44:16,548
Bad. I feel bad.

595
00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:18,449
- But Superman was right.
- Yeah.

596
00:44:18,622 --> 00:44:20,613
It's one of his more irritating qualities.

597
00:44:20,858 --> 00:44:24,225
Do you think that that strange woman
had Lex's body all along?

598
00:44:25,295 --> 00:44:26,387
I guess so.

599

What kind of a person keeps a body
frozen in a glass case?

Somebody who's having
a hard time getting a date?

601
00:44:35,039 --> 00:44:37,166
At least we know for sure
that he is dead.

602
00:44:37,474 --> 00:44:41,433
Absolutely. I saw everything go flatline.

603
00:44:53,691 --> 00:44:56,182
Is he dead or alive?

604
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,157
I don't know.

605
00:44:58,328 --> 00:44:59,795
What's the difference?

606
00:44:59,963 --> 00:45:03,592
It's not like he's suddenly
gonna regenerate himself.

607
00:45:16,346 --> 00:45:18,780
Hey, guys, can you give me
a hand with that?

608
00:45:18,949 --> 00:45:20,439
I'll take it from here.
