Copy !req
16. This is Mrs. Olsen.

Copy !req
17. Oh. yes. Mrs. Olsen.
Copy !req
18. Something the matter?
What time is it?
Copy !req
19. It's past one in the morning
and Jimmy's not home yet.
Copy !req
20. Jimmy's not home?
Copy !req
21. No. No. there's nothing special
going on at the paper tonight.
Copy !req
22. - When did you hear from him last?
- He called me from the office about 5:00.
Copy !req
23. You know, it only takes five or ten minutes
from downtown to here.
Copy !req
24. Could he have stopped off anyplace?
Copy !req
25. Well, the only place that he could have
stopped was Jerry's Diner at the corner.
Copy !req
26. - Did you call the diner?
- Yes. It's closed.
Copy !req
27. I'm terribly worried, Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
28. Jimmy's never done anything
like this before.
Copy !req
29. Now. don't you worry. Mrs. Olsen.
I'm sure everything's gonna be all right.
Copy !req
30. Chances are. He ran into
a fire or an accident.
Copy !req
31. He's just trying to be
a good reporter.
Copy !req
32. - But I'll check around and I'll call you later.
- Oh, thank you, Mr- Kent-
Copy !req
33. - Goodbye.
»Goodbye.
Copy !req
34. You will not answer the phone
if it rings again.
Copy !req
35. - Now. where is the editor's file?
- The what?
Copy !req
36. The editor's filing cabinet?
Copy !req
37. Oh. over there.
Copy !req
38. Good. That's all now.
Copy !req
39. You go. Understand? Home.
Copy !req
40. I go home.
Copy !req
41. First. I go. Then you go.
Copy !req
42. I go home.
Copy !req
43. Jim. what are you doing here?
Copy !req
44. Jim. what's the matter with you. Boy?
Copy !req
45. - Don't you know me?
No. l...
Copy !req
46. Jim. Jim. wake up.
Copy !req
47. Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
48. What are you doing here
this time of night?
Copy !req
49. I don't know.
Copy !req
50. - Is this the chief's office?
- Of course it is.
Copy !req
51. You don't know how late it is
or how you got here?
Copy !req
52. No. The last thing I remember.
I went to Jerry's Diner.
Copy !req
53. - Jerry's diner?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
54. Some guy came up
and sat next to me at the counter.
Copy !req
55. I don't remember any more.
Copy !req
56. How'd the chiefs private file
get opened?
Copy !req
57. Gosh. I don't know.
Copy !req
58. Maybe Mr. White forgot to lock it.
Copy !req
59. Oh. no. he didn't forget to lock it.
It's been jimmied.
Copy !req
60. There's a folder missing.
Copy !req
61. Now think. Who jimmied this cabinet?
Copy !req
62. I don't know. I tell you.
I can't remember, Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
63. - I hope you don't think I did it?
- No. no.
Copy !req
64. Of course it wasn't you.
Copy !req
65. - You know what folder's missing?
- No. sir.
Copy !req
66. - The file on Superman.
- Superman? Oh. golly.
Copy !req
67. You better go on home.
Your mother's worried.
Copy !req
68. I'm going over to the Newspaper Club
and tell the chief.
Copy !req
69. Come on.
Copy !req
70. - Herman!
- Yeah?
Copy !req
71. Take this up to room 322.
Copy !req
72. And don't fall asleep on the way.
Mr. White's waiting.
Copy !req
73. Yeah. Mr. White. 322.
Copy !req
74. Give that to us.
Copy !req
75. What is this. The Explorer's Club?
Copy !req
76. A man could starve to death here
waiting for a sandwich and coffee.
Copy !req
77. Come in.
Copy !req
78. Okay. It's here.
Copy !req
79. - Good evening. Mr. White.
- Hello.
Copy !req
80. - Who are you? I never saw you before.
- Josef. Sir. the substitute waiter.
Copy !req
81. Herman is ill tonight.
Copy !req
82. Well. Don't just stand there.
Put it down. Put it down.
Copy !req
83. - Sugar. Sir?
- No sugar.
Copy !req
84. Just give me the coffee
before it freezes.
Copy !req
85. I said no sugar.
Copy !req
86. - What is this?
- Nothing. Sir. Just black coffee.
Copy !req
87. Call...
Copy !req
88. Call a...
Copy !req
89. - Call a doctor.
- Sit down.
Copy !req
90. Yes.
Copy !req
91. Certainly.
Copy !req
92. Mr. White. Do you recognize this?
Copy !req
93. Yes. It's my office file on Superman.
Copy !req
94. Mr. White. Who is he?
Copy !req
95. What?
Copy !req
96. Who is he?
Copy !req
97. Superman.
Copy !req
98. I have determined he always figures
in your newspaper's stories.
Copy !req
99. Reports on Superman's activities
invariably appear first in The Daily Planet.
Copy !req
100. Yes.
Copy !req
101. Then someone at The Planet
must know how to contact him.
Copy !req
102. No one does. No one.
Copy !req
103. You are the editor of The Planet
and you don't know?
Copy !req
104. Why are you trying
to make me think...
Copy !req
105. when I can't think?
Copy !req
106. Why do you want to know?
Copy !req
107. Because I have work for Superman.
Copy !req
108. I must find him.
Copy !req
109. Go to the door.
Send whoever it is away.
Copy !req
110. Yes.
Copy !req
111. Mr. White.
Copy !req
112. What's going on here?
Copy !req
113. - It's Herman.
- He has been badly injured. Call a doctor.
Copy !req
114. - Chief. What is it? What happened?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
115. Chief. It's me. Clark.
Copy !req
116. - Who?
- Clark Kent.
Copy !req
117. - Don't you know me?
- No. No.
Copy !req
118. Chief. Wake up!
Copy !req
119. - Kent?
- Yes.
Copy !req
120. It's an emergency.
Get them up here.
Copy !req
121. - What's that file doing here?
- Why. I don't know.
Copy !req
122. Last thing I remember
was that new waiter coming in.
Copy !req
123. Yes. right away.
Copy !req
124. Get me police headquarters. Please.
Inspector Henderson.
Copy !req
125. You don't remember anything after
that fake waiter gave you the coffee?
Copy !req
126. Nothing. I've told you five times.
Copy !req
127. It'll get it.
Copy !req
128. Clark Kent speaking.
Oh. yes. Fred. Did you get it?
Copy !req
129. Oh. you did? Well, what is it?
Copy !req
130. Sure. I'll tell Inspector Henderson.
Thanks. Fred.
Copy !req
131. That was the lab.
Copy !req
132. The analysis of the coffee in the chief's cup
shows a powerful amytal compound.
Copy !req
133. Amytal?
Copy !req
134. That's the basis of the truth drug
they're using in European prisons.
Copy !req
135. Fred King says this is a new.
more powerful compound.
Copy !req
136. The lab's never seen it.
They're trying to break it down.
Copy !req
137. I remember now.
Copy !req
138. We had a confidential report on the stuff
from overseas intelligence.
Copy !req
139. You know what it does?
Copy !req
140. Invades the brain centers.
paralyzes the will.
Copy !req
141. You're telling me?
I was the guinea pig.
Copy !req
142. Question is, what are you
gonna do about it?
Copy !req
143. What about that file on Superman?
Copy !req
144. Why did they steal it?
Why did they bring it here?
Copy !req
145. Someone wants to find out
about Superman.
Copy !req
146. From me? What would I know?
Copy !req
147. A lot of people think Superman
works for The Planet.
Copy !req
148. You're the editor...
Copy !req
149. Say. maybe they're smarter
than we think.
Copy !req
150. Maybe you're Superman.
Copy !req
151. Me. in that outfit?
Now. look here. Kent—
Copy !req
152. Skip it. I've got a hunch.
Copy !req
153. Like you said. I think they're trying
to find out something about Superman.
Copy !req
154. They started on Mr. White
and the Olsen kid.
Copy !req
155. But look. They've circled Miss Lane's
name and yours. Here and here.
Copy !req
156. - Kent. I think you're the next man up.
- Could be.
Copy !req
157. Don't worry. If they're up to something big.
they don't want you. They want Superman.
Copy !req
158. Six of one. A half dozen of the other.
Copy !req
159. I'm gonna tail everyone at The Planet
who's ever seen Superman.
Copy !req
160. That's a good idea. I can't afford
having my staff fed truth drugs.
Copy !req
161. They go around in a daze
enough of the time as it is.
Copy !req
162. - Don't put a tail on me. inspector.
- Why not?
Copy !req
163. It might scare them off.
Copy !req
164. I want to meet these characters.
get close to them.
Copy !req
165. They could be rough boys. Kent.
Copy !req
166. - How close are you figuring?
- Just as close as I can get.
Copy !req
167. I might even quit The Planet.
try and get a job with them.
Copy !req
168. You can't quit The Planet.
Copy !req
169. You can always fire me.
can't you. Chief?
Copy !req
170. Fire you?
Copy !req
171. You again?
Haven't you got a job yet?
Copy !req
172. Nope. No paper in town will hire me.
Copy !req
173. - Hello. Sam.
- Hi.
Copy !req
174. How's the chance on a cup of coffee
and a couple of doughnuts?
Copy !req
175. - Can you pay for them?
- Why. sure.
Copy !req
176. I must have a quarter somewhere.
Copy !req
177. You're into me
for nearly two bucks now.
Copy !req
178. You want coffee.
you'll have to have the cash.
Copy !req
179. Give the man some coffee.
Give me some too.
Copy !req
180. - Well. Thank you.
- That's perfectly all right, my friend.
Copy !req
181. Plenty more money
where this come from.
Copy !req
182. You wouldn't be looking for a place
to go to work. Would you?
Copy !req
183. Work? I sure would.
Copy !req
184. - Hey. come here.
- I can't talk to you. Kid. I'm not allowed.
Copy !req
185. You been tailing me for weeks for nothing.
See that big guy over there?
Copy !req
186. - Yeah.
- He's the one that doped my milk.
Copy !req
187. He's trying to slip something
in Kent's coffee.
Copy !req
188. Excuse me.
Copy !req
189. See. See what he did? Grab him.
Copy !req
190. Hey. you.
Copy !req
191. - Where you hit?
- In the leg.
Copy !req
192. Jimmy. Take care of him.
Copy !req
193. - Come on. run.
- I can't. He got me in the back.
Copy !req
194. - Well. I'll help you. Where to?
- Twenty-six Mason Street.
Copy !req
195. Come on.
Copy !req
196. Hello. Planet? Give me the City Room.
Copy !req
197. Miss Lois Lane. Please.
Copy !req
198. Easy now. I feel the bullet.
Copy !req
199. Never mind. Doctor. It's too late.
Copy !req
200. - How is he. doctor?
- Dead.
Copy !req
201. Oh. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
202. No need to be. He did his job
in bringing you to my house.
Copy !req
203. Me. doctor? Why?
Copy !req
204. We shall see. We shall talk a little while.
and we shall see.
Copy !req
205. But forgive me.
You've had a difficult time.
Copy !req
206. - Would you like a sandwich?
- I surely would.
Copy !req
207. If you don't dislike
to eat a dead man's lunch...
Copy !req
208. it was ready here.
Copy !req
209. Would you like beer or wine?
Copy !req
210. Neither one. Thank you. If you happen
to have some milk or ginger ale...
Copy !req
211. Ginger ale. Certainly.
Copy !req
212. Before my friend died...
Copy !req
213. he said perhaps you might be
on the lookout for a position. Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
214. I surely am.
Copy !req
215. To our meeting.
Copy !req
216. May it bring both of us good fortune.
Copy !req
217. Sit down. Kent.
Copy !req
218. Yes. doctor.
Copy !req
219. Finish your ginger ale, Kent.
Copy !req
220. Yes. sir.
Copy !req
221. Since you'd like to work for me...
Copy !req
222. perhaps you'd begin by getting rid
of the body in the next room.
Copy !req
223. Yes. sir.
Copy !req
224. I dislike dead bodies around the house.
They're so untidy.
Copy !req
225. At the back door is a small truck.
Copy !req
226. Take the body to the river
and dump it.
Copy !req
227. Yes. sir.
Copy !req
228. Then come straight back here.
Speak to no one.
Copy !req
229. To no one. Sir.
Copy !req
230. Your mind is now a blank. Kent.
subject to my will.
Copy !req
231. On your way in the truck. Think of
every time you have seen Superman.
Copy !req
232. Every detail about him.
Copy !req
233. You know a great deal about Superman
don't you. Kent?
Copy !req
234. A great deal.
Copy !req
235. Good.
Copy !req
236. We shall have a nice. Long talk
when you come back, Kent.
Copy !req
237. Where is he. Jim?
Copy !req
238. House number 26.
He went in with the big guy.
Copy !req
239. - You mean the one who doped you?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
240. Good heavens!
Copy !req
241. Wait. Miss Lane. Where's the tail
Henderson put on you?
Copy !req
242. I lost him. Don't worry. Jim.
Stand guard right here.
Copy !req
243. If I'm not out in ten minutes.
call Inspector Henderson.
Copy !req
244. You're not going in there alone?
Copy !req
245. Remember, I'm a newspaperwoman.
And I won't be alone. Clark's in there.
Copy !req
246. But most important of all.
this may be the break on the story.
Copy !req
247. So you're Lois Lane of The Daily Planet.
Copy !req
248. Perhaps I should say
the rather celebrated Lois Lane.
Copy !req
249. Save it. Where's Clark Kent?
Copy !req
250. - Who. Miss Lane?
- Clark Kent.
Copy !req
251. - I suppose you've never heard of him?
- I'm afraid not. My dear young lady.
Copy !req
252. But forgive me. Perhaps I should have
offered you some coffee.
Copy !req
253. Let's drop the bedside manner and
the double talk. Doctor. What do you say?
Copy !req
254. I happen to know Clark Kent
came in here a half an hour ago.
Copy !req
255. There's a man from The Planet
watching the house.
Copy !req
256. A reporter watching my humble house?
Why?
Copy !req
257. Because we think you might be
behind something...
Copy !req
258. that would make interesting copy.
Copy !req
259. Such as sodium amytal truth serum.
Copy !req
260. - Had enough?
- All right.
Copy !req
261. Mr. Kent was here.
Copy !req
262. But just before you knocked.
he went with my associate on an errand.
Copy !req
263. He's coming straight back.
Copy !req
264. Won't you sit down and have some coffee
while you're waiting. Miss Lane?
Copy !req
265. It's hot now.
Copy !req
266. So are you. Doctor.
Copy !req
267. And I want to ask you
a few questions.
Copy !req
268. Thanks. I will have coffee.
Copy !req
269. - But I'll pour.
- Please don't bother.
Copy !req
270. No bother.
Copy !req
271. Woman's privilege.
Copy !req
272. Charming picture.
Copy !req
273. Oh. dear. What's that?
Copy !req
274. It's blood!
Copy !req
275. No. Miss Lane.
It's not Mr. Kent's blood.
Copy !req
276. Unfortunately. My associate
was wounded.
Copy !req
277. So I heard.
Copy !req
278. And where did Clark take him?
Copy !req
279. To his rest. I hope. Poor chap.
Copy !req
280. He was dead. Miss Lane.
Copy !req
281. Quite dead.
Copy !req
282. Never mind. It will wash out the blood.
Copy !req
283. - Sit down in that chair, Miss Lane.
- Yes.
Copy !req
284. Now I'll ask the questions.
Copy !req
285. Who is Superman?
Copy !req
286. Think.
Copy !req
287. You must have some clue to him.
Copy !req
288. No. None.
Copy !req
289. Could it be that he hides
behind the darkest disguise of all?
Copy !req
290. Could it be that he is a woman?
Copy !req
291. Superman? A woman?
Copy !req
292. Me?
Copy !req
293. Oh. no. Dr. Cm.
Copy !req
294. What made you ask that?
Copy !req
295. Because he has compassion.
Copy !req
296. He aids people in trouble.
He helps the weak.
Copy !req
297. White and Olsen are often not there
when he appears. Are they?
Copy !req
298. Very seldom.
Copy !req
299. - Sometimes you are not there, Miss Lane.
- Sometimes.
Copy !req
300. But Clark Kent is always there.
Copy !req
301. Clark is never there.
Copy !req
302. He arrives when Superman is gone.
Copy !req
303. He is always there.
but they are never seen together.
Copy !req
304. No. Never.
Copy !req
305. Of course not.
Copy !req
306. They couldn't be because
Clark Kent is Superman.
Copy !req
307. Clark. Superman?
Copy !req
308. Yes. He must be.
Copy !req
309. But he is not now Superman
any longer.
Copy !req
310. Because now Kent is in my power.
I have destroyed his will.
Copy !req
311. Jimmy.
Copy !req
312. - Jimmy!
- Miss Lane.
Copy !req
313. - Is Olsen outside?
- Yes.
Copy !req
314. Go outside and get Olsen.
Bring him into the house.
Copy !req
315. No. You'll kill him.
Copy !req
316. It'll kill both of you
before I'll be interrupted.
Copy !req
317. Now. get Olsen!
Copy !req
318. Yes. sir.
Copy !req
319. Why didn't he try the drug on you?
Copy !req
320. He tried. I played along with him.
Copy !req
321. It'll alert all squad cars
in the Mason Street area.
Copy !req
322. No. wait a minute.
Let me get back there first.
Copy !req
323. The Planet's earned this exclusive.
Copy !req
324. Hello?
Copy !req
325. Hello. Inspector Henderson?
This is Jimmy Olsen.
Copy !req
326. Jimmy. Hang up the phone.
Copy !req
327. - Miss Lane. What's the matter?
- Hang up the phone.
Copy !req
328. - Come into the house with me.
- Okay.
Copy !req
329. It's Olsen. He called me.
then hung up.
Copy !req
330. He's in trouble. You alert those squad cars.
I've got to get back there at once.
Copy !req
331. Alert all squad cars in southwest area.
Twenty-six Mason Street.
Copy !req
332. This is Dr. Ort, Jim.
Copy !req
333. - Where is Mr. Kent?
- In my office.
Copy !req
334. Please come back there, both of you.
Copy !req
335. I want to try a little experiment.
Copy !req
336. I have had my office sound-proofed
for certain experiments.
Copy !req
337. Such as the removal of people
who pry into my business.
Copy !req
338. Turn around!
Copy !req
339. Superman! You got here just in time.
Copy !req
340. Clark.
Copy !req
341. You're Clark Kent.
Copy !req
342. Stay with him.
Copy !req
343. Lois.
Copy !req
344. Lois. Don't you know me?
Copy !req
345. No. l...
Copy !req
346. Well. Clark...
Copy !req
347. Where are we? What happened?
Copy !req
348. Don't you know?
Don't you remember anything?
Copy !req
349. Not a thing.
Copy !req
350. Are you sure?
Copy !req
351. It's all a blank.
Copy !req
