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