All language subtitles for Adventures of Superman - 03x06 - Test of a Warrior

NARRATOR:
The Adventures of Superman!

Faster than a speeding bullet.

More powerful
than a locomotive.

Able to leap tall buildings
at a single bound.

MAN 1: Look! Up in the sky!
MAN 2: It's a bird!

WOMAN: It's a plane!
MAN 3: It's Superman!

NARRATOR:
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.

[���]

[DRUMS BEATING RHYTHMICALLY]

[RHYTHMIC CLACKING]

Great Spirit.
Hear me.

As the sands
of time passes

through my fingers,

so has our chieftain gone

to the happy hunting
grounds,

leaving no son
to succeed him.

With the voting sticks,
we choose another chief.

Give us wisdom,

that our new leader
may guide us

with the spirit
of a warrior.

Chief Great Horse.

Do Naga.

The test of a warrior.

It is the law
of our tribe, my son.

Do Naga for the new chief.

I must undergo the test.

In two days, Do Naga.

[���]

Wow. I mean, "how."

How do you do?

Would you be so kind
as to direct me

to the office
of the editor?

Certainly, chief.
I mean, sir.

My name is John
Tolstar.

I'm Jimmy Olsen.

How do you do?

It's right this way.

There's, uh, someone
to see you, chief.

Don't call me--

[SIGHS]

That will be all, Olsen.

Oh, but let me--

That will be all, Olsen!

[SIGHS]

Ooh!
Hey!

What's the matter?

Aww. Did you lose
your bubble-gum?

Ug.

[CLICKS TONGUE]

I come to you
as a messenger.

Uh, would you
sit down, sir.

Thank you.

I am not a chief,
nor the son of a chief,

so I may not
sit in council.

Yet I can be
of service to Red Hawk.

And you come to me with
a message from this "Red Hawk"?

Yes, Mr. White.

And though I am
much older than he,

we have both been to
the white man's school.

And, thus, he feels
he can depend upon me

to make his message
clear to you.

Well, I'm very flattered
that your friend

should send you to me.

And I'm flattered
that you should come.

By the way,
how did you get here?

Fortunately, my family
owns oil lands.

I flew here
in my own plane.

I was a pilot
in the last war.

Well, that's interesting.

But the purpose
of my visit, Mr. White,

is to ask your help.

In what way?

My friend Red Hawk
is much concerned

about his father,
Great Horse,

who has just
been elected chief.

Well, I should think
that would be

considered
quite an honor.

Why is he concerned
about it?

Because it is
the law of the tribes

that
a chieftain-elect

must pass through
a great ordeal.

A warrior's test.

Our people call it,
"Do Naga."

I think I'm beginning
to understand.

You're a bit doubtful
that Great Horse

will be equal
to this warrior's test,

as you call it.

It is almost too much
for a young warrior.

I think it will kill
Great Horse, Mr. White.

Then why did he accept
the chieftainship?

For the sake
of our people.

His days are numbered,

and he knows
that if he does

pass the test
and become chief,

Red Hawk will
succeed him.

Then Red Hawk,
as a college graduate,

will bring
the benefits

of modern progress
to our tribe.

And for this, he's willing
to risk his life?

Great Horse is
a proud man.

A stubborn man.

He will go through with
the test of a warrior.

Well, uh...

what brings you
to the Daily Planet?

I seek the only one
who can help us.

There is an ancient legend
in our tribe.

It tells of
a mighty warrior.

The greatest fighter,

hunter, leader
our tribe ever knew.

When he died,
according to the legend,

he flew off
into the clouds.

Since then,
he has become

a strong totem,

a symbol of help.

We call him the,
"Great White Bird."

This interests me.
Go ahead.

A living counterpart
of our Great White Bird

can be located,
I have heard,

through
your newspapers.

I speak of Superman.

I've come to ask
his help,

that Great Horse
may be saved.

Just a moment.

Lois.

LOIS [OVER INTERCOM]:
Yes, sir?

Will you come in
a moment, please.

And bring Jimmy Olsen
with you.

Right away.

Clark Kent, who is the one
to contact Superman,

is away
on an assignment.

When he returns,
I'll speak to him about this.

In the meanwhile,
your story has news value.

Uh, Lois Lane,
a staff reporter,

can investigate
for Mr. Kent.

And if you have no objections,
I'd like Jimmy Olsen

to go with both of you,
for pictures.

Fine.

I can fly them
to meet Red Hawk.

He will welcome
the young people.

Meanwhile, I will pray
for the speedy flight

of the Great White--

I mean, Superman.

[���]

Boy, this is the life,
Miss Lane.

Real Indians.
Mm-hm.

When may we
meet your father?

We may be too late.

Okatee, the medicine man,

must have found out
I was up to something.

He has already
started Do Naga.

And your father?

He is praying
to the Great Spirit

that he may
find the strength.

The council awaits him
at the Cave of the Bear.

There, the first of
the three tests will take place.

Come.

It is
almost time.

What's gonna happen?

The warrior enters
the cave blindfolded,

after the bear
has gone in the cave.

My father will be
unarmed.

And he's expected
to come out alive?

If the gods
will it.

Jimmy, stand by.

I'm driving back
to the station to call Clark.

I hope he's back
in Metropolis.

Oh, but jeepers,
what can I do?

I don't know, Jimmy.

But if there's any way
to stall, stall.

I've got an idea.
Wait here.

Wise Okatee,

guardian of the tradition
of our tribe,

may I speak?

Son of Great Horse,

Do Naga should not be
interrupted.

Not even if our customs
are being violated?

Speak.

Come, brother.

A guest has come
to my father's wigwam.

A mighty wise man
of his people.

A young
chieftain.

In the presence
of the council,

you have heard me
call him, "brother."

Then, Okatee,

if we do not bestow
membership in our tribe

on our guest...

we will offend
our ancestors.

And all else must wait.

It shall be done.

Let your "brother"

be seated
with the council.

[���]

I'm at the reservation
trading post, Mr. White.

And I'll be waiting.

Please ask Clark to call me
the moment he arrives.

[SIGHS]

[COUGHING]

All the clan,

the mighty hunters,

now a brother
joins our tribe.

His name is...

Sagoa.

What does that mean?

Big Cough.

[CLAPS TWICE]

Now. Do Naga.

My poor father.

Guri. "The Bear."

The bear?

Wh-- I-is that man
the bear?

Yes.

The first test
of a warrior.

You all heard
Red Hawk.

He called me a chief,
did he not?

I demand test
of a warrior.

And as honorary
guest,

I wish to undergo
the ceremony

before
Great Horse.

What are you doing?

You heard Miss Lane.
I'm stalling.

You don't know
what you're saying.

You'll be clawed to death.

I'm gambling on Superman
to arrive on time.

That's what
I'm doing.

And I've never been
much of a gambler.

Red Hawk,

your new "brother" speaks
like a foolish paleface.

I see no powers in him
that make him rank as a chief.

Oh, no?
Well, watch.

[RINGS]

Yes?

Oh, Clark,
thank heavens.

Oh, hello, Lois.
I just got back.

Yes, the chief told me
about your Indian expedition.

How's life in the wigwam?

It's no joke, Clark.

This weird medicine man
of theirs smelled a rat

and pushed this--
ooh

--this test of
a warrior ahead.

Jimmy Olsen's back at camp
trying to stall them.

What? You mean to say
you left Jimmy alone

with a character like that?

You know Jimmy
hasn't got sense enough

to come in out of the rain.

He probably won't have to.

Hasn't rained here in months.

Oh, very funny.

Yes. Yes, of course.
I'll do everything I can.

[���]

If I make the lightning
gods obey me,

would that not be
the mark of a chief?

It would be.
If.

Then let
the lightning flash.

Well...?

Red Hawk's brother
is indeed a chief.

Let him enter
the Cave of the Bear.

Guri.

He won't have any mercy
with those claws.

You must walk to the back
of the cave,

where he is waiting,
and return, if you can.

Just watch me run.

Blindfolded?

Jimmy!

[GASPS]

OKATEE:
Do Naga. The bear.

[GROWLING NOISES]

[GROWLING]

[GROWLING]

[GROWLING]

[GASP]

Jimmy, are you
all right?

I think so.

The-- The bear.

The claws are gone.

Then the bear
is no more.

And my father?

The bear must have struck
the wall of the cave.

Do Naga must go on.

Great Horse must now face
the Test of the Tree.

To the tree.

What is this test,
Red Hawk?

Look.

He must chop down
that tree with his tomahawk

in a matter
of minutes.

The effort
and strain will be

too much for
an old man's heart.

But not too much
for the Great White Bird.

Oh, if Superman
would only get here.

Impossible.

Impossible.

He'll collapse
at any moment now.

Mr. Kent said he'd try
to get Superman--

I am grateful.

But I am afraid
it'll be too late.

Look.

[CHOPPING
CONTINUES]

The Great White
Bird.

It's Superman, Red Hawk.
The help you asked for.

Wait a minute. He's trying
to tell us something.

It is the sign language
of my people.

What does he want?

He wants to get
across

the open space
to the tree

and my father,

without my people
seeing him.

I can take care
of that.

Okatee.

With this machine...

the paleface
keeps records

of important
events.

The medicine men
of my people would be proud

to have a picture

of the brave ceremony
of Do Naga.

There, uh--

There will be a picture
for the wise Okatee

to hang in his medicine
lodge.

So be it.

All right. Now, keep
your eyes on me,

and don't move.

Keep your faces
right here.

That's it.

[CRACKS]

It is, indeed,
a miracle.

I don't know how to
thank Superman and you.

Golly. You translated
the message, didn't you?

Superman has
the spirit of help,

as did
the Great White Bird.

The last of Do Naga.
The Test of Black Smoke.

Now your fate
is indeed

with the gods,
my father.

Not even the Great White Bird
can help you.

I wanted only
one thing, Red Hawk.

That you should
one day be chief.

Should the time come,

I pray to the gods
that I will be

as brave a warrior
as Great Horse was.

Was? Wait a minute.

You're talking as though
he were already--

Pipe of black smoke
means death,

if the medicine man
is displeased.

And Okatee is angry.

That is quite obvious,
Mr. Olsen.

Oh, what will happen?

Okatee will fill the pipe.

My father will smoke it.

If the gods will it,
the legend says he will live.

But if Okatee is against
Great Horse becoming chief--

But why should he be?

I think he senses
that I am against

the old superstitions
and fears

that the medicine men

have always played on
to rule us.

Besides,
he lost face

when the bear
lost his claws

and the tree
fell so easily.

It is time.

[���]

No.

I won't let him
go through with it.

It'll break
his heart,

but I'm going to
stop it.

What is it?

That black powder,
it is a poison.

I am sure of it.

I won't let
my father smoke it.

I won't let you
smoke that black smoke.

It would be foolish--

My son.

If I have not the courage
to complete Do Naga...

tell me...

can a man
live without honor?

Could I ever again
face my people?

Or you?

The black smoke.

Great Spirit. Touch the pipe
to be smoked.

Let the lips

of the warrior
Great Horse

bring him life...

or death.

Do Naga.

The smoke,
it's white.

The outside of the bowl,
it's-- It's charred.

Somehow, the black,
poisonous powder

was burned away...
neutralized.

I don't know
where Superman is,

but I'll bet
his x-ray vision

had something
to do with this.

The Great White Bird
has brought you a new chief.

The good spirit
of help

is now with
our people, Okatee.

Not your evil tricks.

You speak of legends,
Red Hawk.

There is no such person.

You speak with
split tongue to the tribe.

Oh, Great White Bird.

The time has come.

I need your help.

Did you ask
my help, my friend?

For what you have done,
I am grateful.

This is
a trick.

A paleface
trick.

He is not
the Great White Bird.

The Great White Bird could run
the gauntlet, untouched.

Let this one dare that,
Red Hawk.

Oh, boy, what a cinch.

Get up your gauntlet,
brother tribesman,

and watch Super--

I mean, uh,
watch the Great White Bird

run it like it's
never been run before.

Prepare
the gauntlet.

[���]

Let the warriors strike hard.

Now.

[WARRIORS SHOUTING]

Do Naga is complete.

I am chieftain
of this tribe.

Okatee, hear my words.

Red Hawk shall be the true
medicine man of our people.

And he shall
succeed me as chief.

Warriors of the past.

Gods and Great Spirit.

Peace and plenty
must be ours...

for the Great
White Bird

has come amongst us,
and he has blessed us.

Let the hunting
be good.

Let the warriors
be brave.

And above all...

let there be rain.

Rain is
our greatest need.

But not even
the Great White Bird

can bring us
that blessing.

Great Horse. Wait.

Remember the legend
of the Great White Bird.

Remember how he
flew away into the sky?

Let this man
of paleface trickery fly.

Such is the test of
the Great White Bird.

[���]

[LOUD EXPLOSION
IN SKY]

Well, I wish
I could have been there.

It sounds like it must have
been pretty exciting.

Golly, look at
the swell souvenir I got.

The hatchet
Great Horse used

to chop
the tree down.

I got one
too.

A necklace from
the claws of the bear.

My father
is honored

to present you
with a symbol

of our tribe's
gratitude.

You have shared

the blessings
and friendship

of the Great White Bird
with my people.

I name you
Okeecheboygan.

"He who writes with
thundering machine."

Gosh, chief.

Don't call me--

Well, all right,
James.

This is one time
you may call me, "chief."

[ALL LAUGH]

And thank you
very much.
