All language subtitles for 028 - 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.

There it is, Mr. Foster.

The Daily Planet Citizen of the Year
Award.

As much as I'd like to have it, I'm sure
it's not for me.

But it may be for one of your employees,
Dan Grayson.

Dan?

He's been in charge of my first storage
department for ten years. You couldn't

find a better man.

That's what the planet thinks, too.

Hello?

Grayson? Yeah.

Dan Grayson?

Yeah. Who's this?

Just an old friend of yours, Dan.

A real old friend.

Look, either say who you are or I'll...
Don't bother to hang up.

I'll do it.

I've got all I want to know.

Your recommendation on top of everything
else I've been able to learn about Dan

sounds good enough for me, Mr. Foster.

Could I arrange to meet him personally?
Oh, of course.

That's the emergency signal from the
vault.

Dan! Dan!

I finally did it, Mr. Foster. Locked
myself in.

Well, take it easy, Dan.

We'll get you out.

How? The combination's set and the time
lock's on.

Nobody's going to open this tin can till
9 o'clock in the morning.

Oh, that place is filled with gas.

A special moth preventative.

No human can take it for very long.

What do you mean by very long?

Well, one hour, maybe.

What about the people that made the
vault? Oh, they're a thousand miles from

here. What we need's a Jimmy Valentine.

Maybe I can get one for you.

Sit back, Dan.

We'll figure something.

No use freezing, Mr. Foster.

We think I look best in Banker Herman.

Miss Dale, get me the police rescue
unit.

Tell them that... Superman! Thank
heavens! Over there, hurry!

Next time, you'd better wear a gas mask.

Well,

thanks. That's all I can say.

That goes for me, too.

I had my mind on something else. I
wasn't thinking, and the coat caught on

something. I gave it a little yank and
pulled the door closed.

Mr. Foster, I tried to... Thanks, Kent,
but you needn't have bothered. Superman

was here.

Superman, huh?

Well, it looks like you're a pretty
lucky fellow, Dan. Oh, I'm Clark Kent.

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet anybody,
in fact.

Gee, I can't tell you how sorry I am,
Mr. Foster.

Oh, forget it, son. It'll only take a
few days to repair the vault.

I'll hire a special watchman in the
meantime.

What kind of fur do you call this, Dan?

Oh, I'm building that for my son. It's a
birthday surprise.

I think you better forget the coats and
the boats for now.

Take the rest of the afternoon off. How
about a good hot cup of coffee, Dan?

That sounds swell.

Thanks a lot, Mr. Foster. All right.

Home so early?

Since when did you start keeping
bankers' hours, Mr. Grayson? I pulled a

real dandy today. I locked myself in the
vault. Oh, Dan, are you all right? Sure,

I'm fine, but the vault came off second
best. Where's Tim?

Oh, he's upstairs.

Wait till he hears who saved me today.

Oh, Dan, tell me, who?

Wait a minute, I'll get it.

Well, Danny boy.

Luke Maynard. In the flesh.

So you were the one. The man on the
telephone.

One and the same, Danny boy.

Have some walnuts.

No, thanks.

What do you want?

You know, when a guy's in prison, he
thinks of a lot of things.

Some guys, it's horses. Others, it's
golf.

Walnuts.

What was it with you?

It was 15 years ago. I put it out of my
mind.

Not a lot of other people's minds, too,
huh?

Get to the point.

You remember Blackie Harris?

Blackie Harris?

Sure, he was one of your old cellmates.

He's been going straight a long time.
Sends me 20 bucks a week.

And Tom Tom Riley, the embezzler, he
sends me 15.

Why should they pay you anything?

Why should they pay me anything?

The same reason you're going to pay.

I wouldn't pay you in wooden nickels.
It's a kind of insurance against people

learning you're an ex-con.

Because if they do... Listen, Luke.

Get out of here and stay out.

You'll see it my way.

Maybe I'll have to open your eyes a
little.

You'll see.

I admit it's a rather unorthodox way to
meet the citizen of the year, but for my

money, Dan's it.

He seems to be the model community man.

PTA, BSA, and YRC.

Parent Teachers Association, Boy Scout
Work, and what?

Youth Recreation Center, Jimmy. It's his
own special project.

He made it himself, raised the money,
and practically built it with his own

hands. The finest of the city. Well, now
let's dispense with the two courses of

He's a Jolly Good Fellow and go to work.

Lois, you take care of the background
stuff, history of the ward, etc.

Kent, you take care of the pictures,
interviews, etc.

Yes, sir.

What about me, Chief?

You take care of the etc.

Yes, sir!

What am I so happy about?

Who was at the door? What's wrong, dear?

Nothing. Nothing, Craig.

Just an old friend.

Hi, Tim.

Hey, what's the matter? You about
fighting with that Baxter kid again?

What is this, both of you? What's
happened today?

Nothing, Peg, nothing.

Come here, son.

Who let you in here?

Your boss.

He said I should come right up, so I
come right up.

Nice guy.

Too bad if he found out.

Okay, Luke, you win. But I can't pay you
anything for a couple of weeks.

I say, if you'll give me a couple of
weeks, I... I'm going to give you a

break, Dan.

You don't have to pay like the other
guys.

All you have to do is a little favor.

No such thing as a little favor for you.

That's all. All you have to do is help
me heist some of these skins.

The furs? Are you crazy? There's a
little cafe around the corner. Meet me

there tomorrow.

Lunch. We'll talk.

How about it?

Well, I'll think it over. That's a good
boy.

Think hard.

And fast.

Come on, Tim.

Bet I can beat you a game of checkers.

No, thank you.

Hiya,

Dan.

Oh, this is Lois Lane. We both work for
the same paper.

How do you do?

Aren't you going to ask them in, Dan?

Oh, yes.

Yes, of course.

Thanks.

Come in.

Thank you.

This is my wife, Peg, Miss Lane, and Mr.
Kent. How do you do? How do you do? And

this is our boy, Tim. Hiya, Tim.

Well, Dan, we've got some great news for
you.

I'm afraid I don't understand.

We'll need pictures, interviews, in
other words, Mr. Grayson, the story of

your whole life.

What for?

Well, Dan, the Daily Planet has picked
you for the Citizen of the Year Award.

Oh, Dan, how wonderful.

I'm sorry,

Mr. Kent. You'd better get yourself
another boy. Oh, don't be modest, Dan.

Besides, it's too late. The first
editions are already on the street with

the news.

You can't do a thing like that without
asking me.

My answer is no.

I'm sorry, but if you don't mind... Of
course, Dan, some other time.

We'd better go, Clark.

Yes, I guess we'd better. Well, good
night.

Chief, it just doesn't figure. That's
the trouble with these gimmicks. You're

always coming up with someone who wants
to play hard to get.

Yes? There's someone waiting in Mr.
Kent's office. A Mr. Grayson.

Hiya, Tim.

Guess you're Mr. Grayson, too, aren't
you?

Well... What do you want to talk about?

I came to ask you not to... Please, Mr.
Kent, all those things you're going to

print about my daddy, please don't tell
everybody that he was in jail.

Your daddy was in... Now, Tim, you know
I wouldn't do anything to hurt your

daddy. You believe that, don't you?

I guess so.

So we'll just keep it a secret between
the two of us, okay?

Okay.

That's my boy.

Come on.

All right, Mr. Kent, now you've
uncovered the skeleton in my closet.

Where do we go from here?

Well, maybe we better start by your
telling me more about it.

It's the usual story.

Wrong bunch of kids.

Borrowed a car one night.

Supposed to belong to one of the kid's
brothers.

It didn't.

I thought it was just for a joyride.

It wasn't.

Turned out to be for armed burglary.

I got three years.

Three years.

Now I gotta pay for it the rest of my
life.

How do you mean?

Blackmail.

Guy named Luke Maynard.

He wants me to help him get out these
furs.

So now I gotta go to the police.

And then everything comes out, right?

No. All comes out wrong.

Maybe you won't have to go to the
police.

I've got no choice.

Listen, Dan, the next time this Luke
calls you...

Tell him you're willing to do anything
he says. Pretend you'll follow any

orders he may give you. Then you get in
touch with me right away.

We'd still have to ring in the police,
wouldn't we? Not if we can ring in

Superman.

Thanks, Danny boy.

With this, I can turn off the burglar
alarm and breeze right through the front

door.

Is that all?

One more little thing.

The Watchman.

I figured you wouldn't let me off that
easy.

Here's how it happens.

Instead of leaving after work, you hide
in the vault room.

At 12 o'clock, exactly 12, you take care
of the copper.

How you do it, that's your worry. Just
do it.

And then?

You're through with it.

And Danny boy, no double cross.

It wouldn't be healthy for your wife and
kid.

Let's see.

You take care of the watchman at 12, and
at 12.15, Luke arrives, right?

That's the setup, Mr. Kent.

Well, of course, you won't go through
with it.

You go right home after work, and you
stay there. Do you understand?

Yeah. Yeah, I understand.

And thanks, Mr. Kent.

Operator, this is an emergency call.

Will you please send an ambulance to the
Metropolis Fur Company?

324 Cooper Street.

A watchman.

Concussion.

Grayson? Yeah?

Police officer.

I'd like to have a little talk with you
downtown.

A fine man you chose for the Citizen of
the Year Award, Kent.

Our own headline says, I know, Chief.
I've seen it.

I'm sure he had nothing to do with that
robbery.

Well, for your information, Mr. Kent,
the law isn't going to be interested in

what you're sure of. Look, Chief.

The man made a mistake years ago, but
he's paid his debt to society.

And now he's got a fine family, a good
reputation, and a fine circle of

admiring friends. And now he's being
held on suspicion of robbery. Great. But

he's innocent.

What are we going to do, just walk away
from him?

Can't you know as well as I do, if an
editor takes his finger off the public

pulse, he's dead.

All right, Chief, but will you hold off
just a little while longer?

I think Lois and I will pay the Graysons
another visit.

All right, a little longer.

And that means little.

Hi, Dan.

Hello.

Your wife told us we could wait for you.

Sorry you had to wait.

I'm looking for a job. Any luck?

What do you think?

Oh, everybody was very nice.

They all had some excuse.

Any excuse except the real one.

Dan, where were you last night?

That's what the police want to know.

They don't like my answer.

Why not?

Because they don't want to believe I was
out just wandering the streets most of

the night.

Oh, I have to admit, I'm the likeliest
suspect in town.

I could have done it.

They think I locked myself in the vault
on purpose.

Just to make sure the door would be
broken for a few days.

There's only one thing to do. That's to
find the gilly man.

What good will it do?

Everybody knows I'm a con.

Ex-con.

Look, Mr. Kent, let's face it.

The way most people feel, once a con,
always a con.

I just spoke to Inspector Henderson.

They've got Luke Maynard at headquarters
for questioning.

We'd better get over there. Sit tight,
then.

Getting tired sitting tight.

Very tired.

Hi, Tim.

How come you're not out playing with the
other boys?

The other kids won't play with me
anymore.

Come here, son.

I got a surprise for you.

You remember that boat that you wanted
so bad, the one I promised you for your

birthday? Well, how'd you like to have
it right now?

Here.

How do you like it?

Go ahead, take it. It's yours.

Thanks.

I've been here all day like you said,
Mr. Kent, but I haven't found out

anything.

Neither have we yet.

That's okay, Inspector. Always glad to
cooperate with the police.

Oh, Kent.

It's about time I heard your part in all
this.

Later, Inspector. I've got something
else I have to do right now. I hope you

do have something.

And not later, but now.

You heard the man, Lois.

We were being held for questioning. See
you back at the office, Jim.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Back at the office.

Turn off the caves a couple of hundred
yards ahead.

Once we get there, we'll be in the
clear.

Danny boy will be holding the sack.

Hold it.

Well, if it ain't Danny boy.

Kind of young to be playing with guns,
ain't you?

I've got nothing to lose now, Luke.

If this rat gets pinned on me, I'm
through.

You're going to show me where the furs
are now. Then we're going to go back and

have a little talk with the law.

Better show him, Luke.

I ain't showing him nothing.

That's far enough.

Is it?

Don't make me shoot, Luke.

Shoot? Go ahead.

Hide the car and meet me in the cave.

You're a sucker, Danny boy. You should
have shot me.

There's your furs.

Never recognize them, would you?

How do you like our place?

Right in the middle of the mountain.

Guy get killed here and nobody would
ever know the difference.

Luke, we was followed.

That kid reporter, I saw him pull away.

It sort of changes your schedule,
doesn't it, Luke?

Jimmy calls Kent, Kent calls Superman.

So what?

I know about Superman.

One thing his X-ray vision can't see
through is lead.

So guess what I got this cave lined
with?

Kent speaking.

What?

Oh, they disappeared into a secret
entrance, huh?

Can you give me the exact location of
that mountain?

Good work, Jim.

Now look, you get hold of Inspector
Henderson.

I'm going to try something else.

We passed Ranger Station a couple of

miles back.

Jimmy could call Kent from there.

Superman could have the message by now.

In fact, he could be here by now.

I want information, I'll ask for it.

Oh, sure, Lou, sure.

It's nothing to get nervous about, is
it? That's right.

Nothing.

Stop staring at me.

Take it easy, Luke.

This is a bad time to blow a gasket.
Even if Superman can't see you, he might

hear you.

Shut him up, Al.

You know, I can tell you're nervous.

Because if you weren't nervous, you'd be
picking up a... Picking up what?

These?

Thanks for reminding me.

that anymore. It was Luke's idea, the
whole thing. I know, you just came along

for the ride. Well, next time, don't
team up with anyone with such a noisy

appetite. What do you mean?

How'd you find us?

Maybe he can't see through, lad, but
that doesn't mean he can't hear through

it. I tried to warn you, Luke.

Luke is going to hear from a judge.

And now it gives me great pleasure to
present the Daily Planet Citizen of the

Year Award to you, Dan Grayson.

Well, I...

I don't know what to say.

I never thought anything like this could
happen to me.

Well, thank you.

Thank you all very much. Just a minute,
Dan.

I'd like to speak to you for a moment,
all of you out there in the audience,

and especially to a little boy, Tim
Grayson.

To me, Mom?

Tim, I hope you're as proud of your dad
today as the rest of us are, because we

feel that we have a right to be proud.

But there's more to it than that.

Dan has certain rights too. Dan and
other men like him who have paid their

debt to society and now only ask a
chance. A chance to prove themselves.

The chance of a lifetime.

Let's not make them spend that lifetime
in the shadow.

Because Dan and other men like him feel
that they only want an opportunity to

take their place in life.

To make their homes.

Raise their children.

Make their community a better place to
live in.

Well, Dan has done all these things.

Just because he was a convict once
doesn't mean he's any different now.

In fact, we think he's something kind of
special.

How about you, Tim?

He's the best. Huh, Mom? The very best,
Tim.

I'll be right home, Tim.
