All language subtitles for 009 - Aos

Faster than a speeding bullet.

More powerful than a locomotive.

Able to leap tall buildings at a single
bound.

Look, up in the sky, it's a bird. It's a
plane.

It's Superman.

Yes, it's Superman. Strange visitor from
another planet who came to Earth with

powers and abilities far beyond those of
mortal men.

Superman, who can change the course of
mighty rivers.

Bend steel in his bare hands.

And who, disguised as Clark Kent,
mild-mannered reporter for a great

metropolitan newspaper, fights a
never-ending battle for truth, justice,

and the American way.

And now, another exciting episode in The
Adventures of Superman.

I've warned you about this hole, Pop.

It's all right. Tink fell in yet.

Look at that.

Let's get out of here.

That's a death trap in there.

I'm condemning it.

No, wait a minute. You can't do that.

Oh, I can't, eh?

I'll show you whether I can or not.

Hey, what about my new tunnel?

I'm drifting right off the main lead.

Then you'd better forget about it.
Because if I catch you using that hole,

I'll have you locked up.

That's confiscation of property!

I won't stand for it.

That's it, carbide. Three miles.

Let's go.

Well, there's the office.

Mighty nice of the chief to give us such
nice, soft assignments.

What's soft about tramping around in
dirty old coal mines?

Lois, maybe you'll find a dime.

Mr.

Sims? Yes?

I'm Clark Kent, and this is Miss Lane.
We're from the Daily Planet. Oh, yes,

yes. I'm glad to see you.

I got your letter the day before
yesterday.

Oh, here. Won't you sit down, Miss Lane?

So, uh, you're after a story, eh?

I hope it won't inconvenience you too
much showing me about. No trouble at

all. But I warn you, there isn't much to
see.

Well, it looks like you're in safe
hands, Lois. I guess I'd better take

off. Oh, aren't you staying, Mr. Kent?
No. As a matter of fact, I'm on my way

to Washington. This is Lois' story. I
just dropped her on the way.

Will you pick me up here on your way
back to Metropolis?

Well, I don't know when I'll get
through, Lois. If you finish first, why

don't you just take the train back?

Just the same. Stop by here on your way
back. I might still be here.

Okay. Goodbye, Mr. Sims.

So long, Lois. Have a good time.

Well, Miss Lane, just what type of story
are you looking for?

But I tell you, it ain't dangerous,
Stan.

I've been watching it for over ten
years.

Ten years ago, it might have been safe.

And it's safe now.

And anyway, that new tunnel is off to
one side.

I seen the mine inspector up here today.

What did he say?

Who gives a darn what he said? Come on.

Hey, Pop.

Now what?

I ain't gonna do it.

Them timbers are rotten to the core.

Listen, Stan.

If we find the coal vein, I'll make your
partner.

I got a family. A partnership won't do
them no good if I'm dead.

You're a fool, Stan.

All right, going home.

I'll do it myself.

This map will give you an idea of the
hundreds of miles of tunnel under this

area. But what my paper is interested
in, Mr. Sims, is whether all this

tunneling doesn't constitute a danger to
the town of Carbine. That's hard to say.

Suppose these mines should collapse.

Wouldn't that cause a major cave-in? Not
necessarily.

Here, I'll show you why.

Bob's in there. I've seen him go in.

Good heavens, what's that? The disaster
signal.

Get the rescue squad. Hurry.

Don't go in there.

Wait for the rescue squad.

Pete, take a couple of the boys and get
some of those heavy timbers down there.

Al, get the truck over to consolidate it
and bring back two or three drills.

The rest of you boys get tools and stand
by to dig.

And move.

Who's in there? Pop Pogrecy is working
his new tunnel. I told him to stay out

of there.

Is he alone?

Yeah. Well, why don't you go in after
him? Gotta wait for the rescue squad,

lady. You mean there's a man trapped in
there and you're just going to stand

here and wait? Now, take it easy, Miss
Lane.

The rescue squad has special equipment
just for this sort of operation. Well,

he might die in the meantime.

Yes, he might. But you just don't walk
into a hole like that without taking

certain precautions.

Is there a telephone near? Yes, you'll
find one in the shack over there.

Thanks.

Operator, get me Metropolis 6-0500 and
hurry.

Hello, Planet. Give me the desk.

Hello, Walt. This is Lois Lane. Now
listen, I'm in Carbide, Pennsylvania.

A one-man mine has just collapsed,
trapping the owner known as Pop Polgacy.

And you don't think we can reach him
from here? Not a chance. We've got to

start a new hole.

Where? From up there.

We'll go straight down to this level,
then drift.

How long will it be before you get him
out? That's hard to say, miss. We've got

to sink a new shaft.

Why? That tunnel's liable to collapse
any minute.

Help! Help!

Where are you?

It's a new drift!

Are you all right?

I'm... I'm trapped.

Come and get me.

Let's get him. Wait, you can't do that.
The whole tunnel is shaky as jelly.

Well, can't we shore it? Not a chance.
The first time he tried to set up a

timber, the roofer cave in on him. Come
on, I'll have a look.

Couldn't someone go in after him?

It's too dangerous.

Then we'd have two men to dig out.

Well, I'm going in there. You stay here.

That's a death trap.

But that man... We're doing all we can.

If everything goes all right, we'll have
him out there in 24 hours.

24 hours?

Now you stick to your reporting, Miss
Lane, and leave mine rescue work to us.

How'd you make out?

I can't say as I got much.

I told White you wouldn't be able to get
anything out of him.

If you wouldn't talk to me, why'd she
talk to you?

I did my best. I guess it just wasn't
good enough.

When are you going back to Metropolis?

No rush.

Oh, I promised Lois I'd pick her up at
Carbide on the way back, but she

probably isn't through yet.

How about dropping by the press club?

Well, thanks, but I have an errand to
attend to. I'll see you back here later.

Yeah.

We'll have to go down about 40 feet.
I'll get the relief crews organized.

Put your backs to it, boys. Dig.

We're just starting to sink that new
shaft.

We're going to have to go down about 40
feet.

That means we're going to have to have
relief for the men who are working there

now.

I'll take Pete and Al.

Hey, where are you going?

Come out of there!

Duck!

Who was it? That lame girl. I couldn't
stop her. I got to tell Sims.

Keep coming!

Thank God you got here.

You can say that again. For a while, I
didn't think I'd make it.

You're a girl.

Who are you?

My name is Lois. I'm going to try and
get you out of here.

Now, here.

Here, drink this.

Thanks.

That's mighty fine.

Are your legs hurt?

I don't know.

They've been numb for the past hour.

There's a timber here. What'll I use to
move it?

Use something for the lever.

But what?

Try one of them two-by-fours back there.

Here, I'll use this.

We're trapped.

Oh, don't worry, Pop. They'll dig us
out.

Sure they will.

If the air holds up, then we don't
smother to death.

Smother?

When that entrance filled up, it cut off
the air.

Well, what do we do now?

Just sit and wait.

Maybe do a little praying.

Anything? Yeah, the same old stuff.

Taxes are going up and Congress is
viewing the situation with alarm.

Well, I guess I'll shove off. Oh, it's
still early. I know, but if I start now,

I ought to make carbide about the time
Lois is finished. Be sure and tell White

what a magnificent job I'm doing down
here. You know I will. Hey, make it

plenty strong. Maybe he'll give me a
raise.

Boys, get some red.

How's it look, Stan? That cave-in we
heard.

If it didn't kill them, it'd cut off
their air.

We'll never get to them in time. Not
this way. I was thinking.

Now, uh, there are tunnels for more
workings under this hill. If we could

break into one, it might lead to
Pogese's main lead.

I got the maps from my office.

What about that, Stan?

It won't hurt to look.

There's only a slim chance that we may
find something. I think we're wasting

our time. Hop's workings aren't near
anything. Well, it's the only way we can

reach them in time, if they're still
alive.

Now, what's this?

It's the old joiner workings. Hey, that
tunnel has been used for years.

Get your own maps, Simmons, to see where
it goes.

It's right here.

Looks like it's pretty close to the
shaft we're sinking now. Let me put a

pair of dividers on it.

What do you think?

I think we'll hit it.

How much further will we have to dig?

Only a few more yards. That drift can't
be more than 50 feet down.

Then if we hit that old tunnel, we can
go straight in from there. Yeah. Let's

go.

You're wasting your time, child.

The tank budged. If only I could get
under it.

I could do better to dig for my tools.

I left them back there.

Well, it's all caved in. I wouldn't even
know where to begin looking.

Then... Then we just got to wait.

And do nothing?

Not me.

I think it's giving a little.

Go down there and tell those men to keep
digging. Only a few more yards to go.

We're right over the old jointer, Tom.
If we hit it, we're in.

There's only one thing worries me about
that jointer working.

What's that? Gas.

That old tunnel might be full of it. If
it is, that's all, brother.

Here is the latest bulletin from the
scene of the mine cave-in at Carbide,

Pennsylvania.

The rescue shaft is now down 40 feet,
and Leif Reiser, captain of the mine

rescue squad, states he expects to break
into the old workings.

It is still not known whether Lois and
Cassie are still alive.

Keep tuned to the station for further
bulletins.

I hear you.

Pop, I smell something.

What? Oh, I don't know.

Pop, that won't do any good. You might
as well lie still.

Die like a rat in a trap. No. Don't talk
that way. They'll dig us out.

You might as well know.

Know what?

That's gas you were smelling.

Gas?

Well, what do we do now?

Nothing.

There ain't nothing we can do but die.

They hit the tunnel? Just broke through
the roof. That's great.

Better check it before you let the men
go through.

What's all the excitement about?

Gas. We just broke through the jointer
drip and found it full of gas.

That's too bad.

You seem mighty unconcerned, Mr. Kent.

Should I be concerned?

Well, I would be if it was a friend of
mine in there.

Then where? What are you talking about?

You mean you don't know? Know what?

Miss Lane and Pop Poggesy are trapped in
a mine cave-in. Trapped in there? Where?

Tell me where. Someplace under that
hill. Yes, but exactly where? Well, we

don't know exactly where. As soon as the
gas clears out of the tunnel, we'll go

in there and try to find them.

Where'd he come from? What's he gonna
do?

You all right, Miss Lane?

Yes, but help him. He's pinned to the
ground.

Miss Lane, I'll hold up the tunnel until
you're out.

Now, hurry.

They sure will. I never saw anything
like that before in my whole life.

Are you feeling better?

A little.

Where's Superman?

He's gone.

I expected it.

Gosh, Lois, that was a close one. Are
you all right? I guess so. A little

shaky, that's all.

You better get in your own clothes.

I'll drive you back to Metropolis.

That sounds grand.

And Clark.

Yes?

Superman finally took me out.
