Copy !req
14. And now, another exciting episode
in the Adventures oi Superman.
Copy !req
15. - You're late.
- Yeah. I know.
Copy !req
16. There were a few customers in the shop.
I couldn't get away.
Copy !req
17. - Have a drink?
- No. thanks.
Copy !req
18. All right. Let's get down to business.
Did you check the tunnel?
Copy !req
19. All right. Don't be frightened.
Copy !req
20. Not with that jukebox.
nobody will ever hear you.
Copy !req
21. I went through the tunnel this morning.
Copy !req
22. Let's make sure of this.
Copy !req
23. Here's the map I drew
according to what that guy told me.
Copy !req
24. This is where you live.
Copy !req
25. According to this guy. There's a stairway
from a room of your place into the tunnel...
Copy !req
26. then another stairway up from the tunnel
to the second floor of the old man's house.
Copy !req
27. There's a ladder leading downward
from the back room...
Copy !req
28. and a stairway leading up
to Lu Sung's apartment.
Copy !req
29. A tunnel runs under the street.
but it's not straight.
Copy !req
30. There are curves in it.
Copy !req
31. - Well. It's clear so we can get through it.
- Oh. yes.
Copy !req
32. There are still some candles in
the stone walls. In case we need light.
Copy !req
33. All right. Now let's get
this caper straight.
Copy !req
34. - We pull this job tomorrow at 3:00. Right?
- Yes.
Copy !req
35. Don't like these daylight jobs.
Too dangerous.
Copy !req
36. But that's the only time.
Like I told you...
Copy !req
37. Lu Sung keeps the Kuan-yin jade
under lock and key.
Copy !req
38. But tomorrow afternoon. He's invited
some newspaper reporters over.
Copy !req
39. Undoubtedly. He'll show them the jade.
That will be the time.
Copy !req
40. All right. I'll bring the pineapple
over to your place about 2:30.
Copy !req
41. You sure there will be no trouble?
Copy !req
42. Trouble?
Copy !req
43. Not a chance. It's a cinch.
Copy !req
44. Well. I wouldn't want anybody to get hurt.
Copy !req
45. Hurt? Who's gonna get hurt?
Copy !req
46. The shop will be closed up.
All we want is to get him downstairs...
Copy !req
47. so we can duck through the tunnel.
get up to the apartment. Grab the jade.
Copy !req
48. Clean and simple. Nobody will get hurt.
Copy !req
49. Nobody but Lu Sung.
Copy !req
50. Don't start worrying about him.
You said he was gonna give it away.
Copy !req
51. I know. But giving it to a museum
is different than having it stolen.
Copy !req
52. It ain't gonna do nobody any good
sitting in a museum.
Copy !req
53. This way. You get a chance to lay
your hands on a pot full of dough.
Copy !req
54. And after you start you and this niece
of his off right...
Copy !req
55. - ... what about that?
- If I didn't feel the jade belonged to Lily...
Copy !req
56. I would have no part of this.
Copy !req
57. Sure. You got a good reason.
Copy !req
58. As a matter of fact. You're not
even stealing it if it belongs to her.
Copy !req
59. She's your girl, you're gonna marry her.
Right in the family.
Copy !req
60. It's not as simple as all that.
It's still stealing.
Copy !req
61. But I said I'd do it, and I will.
Copy !req
62. You got nothing to worry about.
Copy !req
63. It'll have a lot to worry about.
But that's my business.
Copy !req
64. Now. look. Kid...
Copy !req
65. don't start getting the shakes.
I told you. You got nothing to worry about.
Copy !req
66. We'll get in there fast and grab it.
They won't know what happened.
Copy !req
67. - No cops. No guns. No nothing.
- Are we finished?
Copy !req
68. Long as you got it straight.
Copy !req
69. You come to my place
tomorrow afternoon at 2:30.
Copy !req
70. - That's all I have to know.
- All right.
Copy !req
71. Get a good night's sleep. Stop worrying.
Copy !req
72. - This will be like taking candy from a baby.
- Yeah. Good night.
Copy !req
73. Kuan-yin.
Copy !req
74. Goddess of peace.
Copy !req
75. Nobody around. It's Sunday afternoon.
Go on. set the fuse.

86. I value it at half a million dollars.
Copy !req
87. But then I didn't ask you here
to impress you with my seeming wealth.
Copy !req
88. I have for you what I believe is called. In
the newspaper profession. A scoop of news.
Copy !req
89. A news scoop.
Copy !req

Copy !req
143. Big enough.
Copy !req
144. Lu Sung. What is this? What happened?
Copy !req
145. A bomb was thrown through the window.
Copy !req
146. That must have been what woke me up.
I was taking a nap. I live across the street.
Copy !req
147. This is the manager of my shop.
Harry Wong.
Copy !req
148. Miss Lane. Mr. Kent
of the Metropolis Daily Planet.
Copy !req
149. - How do you do?
- How do you do?
Copy !req
150. This is a terrible thing.
Who could have done it?
Copy !req
151. Whoever did it should be drawn
and quartered.
Copy !req
152. I think I'll run up and see how Lily is.
Copy !req
153. I will go with you.
Copy !req
154. Mr. Wong. I don't suppose you have
any idea who might have done this.
Copy !req
155. If I searched my mind for a century.
It would do no good.
Copy !req
156. Lu Sung has no enemies.
Copy !req
157. He is the most beloved man
in all of Chinatown.
Copy !req
158. Ask any of them.
Copy !req
159. So many beautiful things.
broken and shattered.
Copy !req
160. Can you estimate the loss. Mr. Wong?
Copy !req
161. That would be difficult.
Copy !req
162. Fortunately, the one piece of great value.
the Kuan-yin jade...
Copy !req
163. Lu Sung has always kept
under lock and key in his apartment.
Copy !req
164. - However. There is—
- Clark. Come up here quickly.
Copy !req
165. - What happened?
- She isn't anywhere in the apartment.
Copy !req
166. - Who isn't?
- Lily. Lu Sung's niece.
Copy !req
167. I left her here on the couch. When Lu Sung
and I got up here. She was gone...
Copy !req
168. and so was the Kuan-yin jade.
Copy !req
169. What happened. Mr. Kent?
Copy !req
170. The Kuan-yin jade is missing.
Copy !req
171. And so is Mr. Sung's niece.
Copy !req
172. Excuse me. I'd better go down.
Copy !req
173. Now. look. Inspector. You've got
to be reasonable about this.
Copy !req
174. What do you mean. Reasonable?
Copy !req
175. If Wong's a suspect. Let's question him.
What are we playing?
Copy !req
176. You don't understand.
There's more to this than just a robbery.
Copy !req
177. You're telling me. Look at that mess.
Copy !req
178. I don't mean the bomb.
Lu Sung's niece may be involved.
Copy !req
179. So what? Good grief.
Copy !req
180. When the department doesn't solve a crime
in minutes. The papers cut me into ribbons.
Copy !req
181. Wait. Wait. Wait. Here he comes.
Copy !req
182. Mr. Wong. I'd like to have
you meet Inspector Henderson.
Copy !req
183. - How do you do?
- Mr. Wong is the manager of this shop.
Copy !req
184. Lu Sung obviously is in good hands.
Copy !req
185. I'm going to get the clerks
to help me clean up.
Copy !req
186. - Well. Can't you use the phone?
- Well. They have no telephones.
Copy !req
187. - I don't know.
- I think that's all right. Inspector.
Copy !req
188. Mr. Wong will be glad to answer
questions when he returns.
Copy !req
189. - Most certainly. Sir.
- Okay.
Copy !req
190. Thank you.
Copy !req
191. You notice the bamboo dust on his shirt?
Copy !req
192. I wouldn't know bamboo dust
from feathers.
Copy !req
193. Well. Here's some.
Copy !req
194. There's plenty more in that box upstairs.
Copy !req
195. Wong had no opportunity
to get any of this stuff on him...
Copy !req
196. unless he was carrying that jade figurine.
The problem is, how did he get to it?
Copy !req
197. It'll lay you 10-1 the girl's involved.
Copy !req
198. You could be right at that.
Come on. let's go on up.
Copy !req
199. You don't have to be afraid of me. girlie.
Copy !req
200. - Lily.
- Don't touch me.
Copy !req
201. The Kuan-yin belongs to you.
You are Lu Sung's only living relative.
Copy !req
202. He had no right giving it to a museum.
Copy !req
203. Thief.
Copy !req
204. No. Lily.
Copy !req
205. The Kuan-yin belongs to you by heritage.
Copy !req
206. I did it only to get money
so we could get married and go away.
Copy !req
207. Come on. she'll get over it.
Copy !req
208. You're responsible for this.
You said there would be no trouble.
Copy !req
209. That you would pay me
before the police arrived.
Copy !req
210. Did I know she was gonna be
in the room?
Copy !req
211. What did you wanna do.
leave her to tip the cops?
Copy !req
212. Then pay me and go.
I've had enough of this.
Copy !req
213. It'll pay you when I get this thing
where it's safe.
Copy !req
214. You promised to pay me on delivery.
Copy !req
215. That's before she messed up the caper.
I gotta get this thing where I can sell it.
Copy !req
216. - What good is it to me unless—?
- Then give it back. I'll return it and confess.
Copy !req
217. Too late for that now. Sonny boy.
Copy !req
218. Give it back!
Copy !req
219. Let's face it. Your niece must be
mixed up in this. It figures.
Copy !req
220. I will not believe it.
Copy !req
221. Then where is she?
People just don't disappear.
Copy !req
222. - Inspector, I don't see the point in all this.
- Oh. you don't. Eh?
Copy !req
223. Someone tosses a bomb through a window.
a statue disappears...
Copy !req
224. - ... and you don't see any point.
- Wait—
Copy !req
225. Suppose you stick to reporting. Kent.
and I'll take care of the police work.
Copy !req
226. - Or would you like my badge?
- I'm trying to tell you—
Copy !req
227. I know what you're trying to say.
Copy !req
228. You've already said too much.
Copy !req
229. You talked me into letting
that Wong character get out of here.
Copy !req
230. He's been gone 15 minutes.
Copy !req
231. - Where does he live?
- Harry Wong?
Copy !req
232. - Yes.
- Across the street. Number 17.
Copy !req
233. Don't anybody leave. I'm not through.
Copy !req
234. - Mind if I come with you. Inspector?
- What good would it do if I did?
Copy !req
235. The police. Open up.
Copy !req
236. Let me try. Inspector.
Copy !req
237. No one in there.
Copy !req
238. I hear something.
Copy !req
239. What is it?
Copy !req
240. Be right back.
Copy !req
241. Lily couldn't have done it, Lois.
Copy !req
242. - She just couldn't.
- Of course she didn't.
Copy !req
243. The Kuan-yin!
Copy !req
244. - Why. you dirty—
- Shut up.
Copy !req
245. You'll get the same thing. Maybe worse.
Copy !req
246. Now lead the way downstairs.
Copy !req
247. And remember, I'm right behind you.
Copy !req
248. Go on. Go on.
Copy !req
249. Turn left when you get out of the store.
Copy !req
250. Don't bleat, or I'll kill you.
Copy !req
251. Move. Move!
Copy !req
252. Stand back. Please.
Copy !req
253. What's going on here?
Copy !req
254. Good grief.
Copy !req
255. Inspector. You better have someone get
down there and shut off the water.
Copy !req
256. - What's the matter?
- Miss Lane!
Copy !req
257. Don't come in here. Or I'll shoot her.
Copy !req
258. - Get more men.
- We can handle this.
Copy !req
259. - Just keep the crowd back.
- Go ahead. Move them back.
Copy !req
260. All right. Come on.
Copy !req
261. Don't worry. We'll get you out of this.
Copy !req
262. He's got the Kuan-yin jade.
Copy !req
263. - It'll make a deal with you.
- No deals.
Copy !req
264. - Come out with your hands up.
- Wait a minute.
Copy !req
265. What's your deal?
Copy !req
266. Don't make any deals.
He may have killed Lu Sung.
Copy !req
267. Shut up!
Copy !req
268. It'll give up the jade and let her walk out
if I go free.
Copy !req
269. - Is he kidding?
- Hold it.
Copy !req
270. We'll have to think it over.
Copy !req
271. You've got five minutes.
Copy !req
272. Watch him.
Copy !req
273. Who's the guy in the circus suit?
Copy !req
274. He's Superman.
Copy !req
275. This time he's not so super. Is he?
Copy !req
276. Wait and see.
Copy !req
277. Who told you about
the underground tunnel. Wong?
Copy !req
278. I knew about the tunnel because I knew
about the trap door in my apartment.
Copy !req
279. - But I didn't know where it led.
- In the days of the Tong Wars...
Copy !req
280. all Chinatown
had underground tunnels. Inspector.
Copy !req
281. But I have been living
in this house for 16 years...
Copy !req
282. and did not know of this one.
nor the sliding wall.
Copy !req
283. - Who told you where the tunnel led. Wong?
- Greer.
Copy !req
284. He learned it from the man
who built this house.
Copy !req
285. He also learned that the tunnel
could be flooded with water.
Copy !req
286. What did Greer plan to do
with the jade statue?
Copy !req
287. He said he would take it to England
and sell it.
Copy !req
288. How much were you supposed to get?
Copy !req
289. I'm too ashamed to even talk about it.
Copy !req
290. It'll write everything out. And I'll sign it.
Copy !req
291. - Now. please take me out of here.
- Sit down. Wong.
Copy !req
292. - You'll testify against Greer. Won't you?
- I'll do anything you wish.
Copy !req
293. Anything to make amends to Lu Sung.
to Lily and to myself.
Copy !req
294. Look at me. Wong.
Copy !req
295. I'm gonna do something I've never done
in 20 years on the police force.
Copy !req
296. I'm going to act as the judge and jury.
Copy !req
297. I'm not going to arrest you.
Copy !req
298. Why. inspector. What are you trying
to do. become a Superman?
Copy !req
