All language subtitles for Lois and Clark - 03x18 - Forget Me Not

Previously on Lois & Clark:

Did you know Lois was writing a novel?

The True And Amazing Adventures of...

Wanda Detroit.

Lois is somewhere acting like the hero of
her secret novel.

All right, Luthor, it's over.

- Let her go.
- She stays with me.

- She'll die.
- We'll all die, then.

Come on! We've gotta get out of here.

- Wanda? Lois?
- I'm sorry, do I know you?

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?
- Yeah.

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.
- Yes, she would.

Collect whatever you can
and get it over to the lab ASAP.

- And double-check everything.
- Yes, sir.

- McCloskey. You caught this one?
- Pretty ugly way to go?

Yeah. At least it was quick.

They couldn't pull any prints
off the grenade launcher.

And the ID 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.
- It'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.
- 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 11.

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 Intergang 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?

CK, 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.

So Clark says that you and I
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.

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.

- In a medical situation that would be me.
- In 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?

Yes. 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 I?

I feel like Nancy Drew.
Whoever that is.

Bingo.

- Hi.
- Lois, I'm Dr. Mendenhall.

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?
- Yes.

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.

- Is 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 Intergang.

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"?
CK, 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?
- Yeah...

...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.

- I'm sorry, CK.
- 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 17th.

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 15th...

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?

- It was business.
- It 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.
- Is 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.
