All language subtitles for Adventures of Superman - 03x09 - The Magic Necklace

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: 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.

[���]

[���]

Take it easy with that thing.

We've got to put it together
again the way it was.

Nothing in here but
a lot of pottery.

Yeah.

You know,
that Professor Jody

sure sends back
a lot of stuff.

How many of these crates
we busted into

this week already?

Too many.
But it'll be worth it

when we open the right one.

Look, boss. A necklace
from the tomb.

Hey, that's it.
That's the one, I'll bet.

Don't get excited.
Professor Jody has sent back

other necklaces before.

But maybe this is
the real one.

Hey, look.

Wh-- Why, there's
another one.

Ah.

There we go
again, boss.

Why don't that
Professor Jody

just send back
the one necklace?

The one all them legends
are all about?

Clicker. Take this
and put it around your neck.

Lazy, give him the poison.

Right.
Ah.

Come back here.
Uh...

Put it on.

Uh...I'm sorry, Clicker.
Good luck.

Yeah. Thanks, Lazy.

Take it. Drink.

Uh. Ugh.

Oh.

[GROANING]

Two minutes. If that's not
the real Tai-Wan necklace,

you'll be dead
in two minutes.
Oh.

Uh, Lazy...

Lazy, b-break out
that antidote, will ya?

Huh?
What do you mean?

Th-the stuff
to counteract

the poison
I just drank, stupid.

In case I start maybe
dying or s-- Hey!

Wh-what? I--

Hey, you didn't forget
to bring it, did you?

Now, don't worry.
I've got it.

How do you feel?
Any pain yet?

The pain?
It, uh-- Oh...

Boss...

Boss, it must
be a minute already.

Gimme the...
Gimme the--

[GASPS]

Oh.

The necklace doesn't seem
to protect him any, does it?

[GASPING]
It's not
keeping him from dying.

[CLICKING]

[FALLS
TO FLOOR]

Too bad.

Well, give him this.

What's he call this stuff?
Antidote?

Yeah, it stops the poison.
Or it's supposed to.

[CLICKS]
He's all right.

All right, Lazy,
now it's your turn.

Look, boss, ain't there
some easier way

to test them necklaces?

No.

Here, put this on.

[TIRES SQUEAL]

Listen.

It's just a car outside,
that's all.

What if somebody
comes in here,

and you forget to
give me the antidote?

And what if this is
the real necklace at last?

The one the Daily Planet said
the professor found.

Then you've got nothing
to worry about, have you?

The real Tai-Wan necklace
will protect the guy wearing it

from any kind of harm,
won't it?

Well, won't it?!

Yes, sir.

Here, drink this.

I-- I wished I believed them
stories like you do, boss.

How do you feel?

Any pain yet?

W-well, I--

Any reaction
to the poison?

I don't know yet.

[GASPS]

I feel kind of funny.

I wonder what that is.

Ooh, that stuff.
Mm-hm-mm-mm.

[TIRES SCREECH]

I don't see any lights on.

Of course not, silly.
The museum's closed.

Then why did you bring me
along for an interview,

when there's nobody
to talk to?

I want to get a story
from the night watchman.

What on?

They only think
those cases were broken into.

Nothing's been taken
from that museum.

I still want to
talk to him. Come on.

Miss Lane...

why do you bother
with this crazy stuff

about a magic necklace
somebody found in Tibet?

Who said
it's crazy stuff?

It makes good copy,
doesn't it?

Mr. Kent says
it's just a legend,

and that it's silly to take up
space in a newspaper with it.

Mr. Kent.

Mr. Kent doesn't know
what he's talking about.

Besides, I've only quoted
Professor Jody's letters.

Come on, let's go.

Look.
The door's ajar.

Well, that's
funny.

Wait a second. You oughtn't
to go walking right in there.

Oh, don't be
silly.

The night watchman probably
forgot to fasten it securely.

Just the same, don't you think
we ought to--
Oh, come on.

Golly,
it's dark in here.

Yeah, I'll see if I can
find the light switch.

Good.

Now let's try to find
that night watchman.

How about me?
I was out.

Brother.
Oh, boy.

Okay, okay. You've
had the antidote,

and you're all right,
aren't you?

Stop worrying.

It was a very unpleasant
experience, boss.

It was an unpleasant
experience for me too.

Because we didn't find
the necklace I want.

Okay, close up
the crate.

There's somebody
out there.

The night watchman
must have come to.

Let's get out of here.

[���]

What are you two
doing here?

We might ask you
the same thing.

We're on the staff.
We've been working late.

Oh, no, you're not.
You're Jake Morrell.

Ah-ha. I mean,
excuse me. Good night.

Ah, no,
you don't.

If you've been
breaking into the museum

looking for a certain necklace,
it isn't even here.

Professor Jody
hasn't sent it yet.

How do you know so much?
Who are you?

She's Lois Lane,
that's who she is.

The best woman reporter
in Metropolis.

A reporter, eh?
Might be helpful.

Only, I don't want
any publicity

at the present time,
you understand.

Not until
that necklace is mine.

[CLICKS]

Until nobody can
hurt me in any way.

You understand.

But that necklace
is only a legend.

Please
let us go.

Lady, you're in nice,
safe hands.

But if there is
a magic necklace,

it's gonna be
Jake Morrell's.

It's gonna be mine,
if I have to

fly around the world
to get it.

And in the meantime,

you and
your boyfriend

are going on
a little trip.

WHITE:
Lois! Olsen! Kent!

Great Caesar's ghost.

What time do people
come to work around here?

What's the matter, chief?

The museum was broken into,
the watchman knocked out.

All right. Can't you get
the report from the police?

Lois was
supposed to handle it.

She's disappeared.
And so has Olsen.

[RINGS]
Excuse me.
Kent speaking.

If that's one of them
with some feeble excuse--

Now just a minute, chief.

What's that?

Her wallet?

Her wallet?
Yes. Uh...

I understand.
I'll be right down.

That was the airport.

They found her wallet
on a runway this morning.

Here you are, sir.

One of the mechanics
picked it up.

Thank you.

She must have dropped it
on purpose.

Tell me, how many other
planes use that runway?

Either landing
or taking off?

None.
None?

Well, no commercial
flights, I mean.

But, here.
We have a record

of a private plane
being parked there.

Took off around
10 p.m. yesterday.

A private plane, huh?

Mm-hm.
There's its numbers.

Big four-motored job.

If a guy owns a ship like that,
he can go anyplace.

You're one of
the dispatchers here.

Doesn't the pilot have to
file a flight plan with you?

That's right.
He did.

Africa.

Africa!

Well, thanks anyway,
inspector.

I still don't see how Lois Lane
could get herself mixed up

with a millionaire crook
like Jake Morrell.

That's right.
Yeah, well, thanks a lot.

Goodbye.

Henderson checked on
that plane,

and Morrell's the man
who owns it.

What else did you
find out, chief?

The plane landed in Africa
this noon, refueled,

and took off
for Pakistan.

Chief, you don't think
a man like Morrell

would actually believe in this
magic necklace business, do you?

I don't know.

A crook...even a smart crook
like Morrell,

might be superstitious enough
to go for that gag.

Hm. Well, I'd better
read through

those stories in a hurry.

What possible
connection--?

Chief, a plane that
lands in Africa and Pakistan

might very easily be on its way
to the Jody expedition.

Great Caesar's ghost.

Kent, I want you
to get on

the first commercial flight
and go over there.

Sounds more
like a job for Superman.

There's no time to waste
trying to find Superman.

You get on that plane.

I'll try to locate Superman,
if you really need him.

Uh, sure, chief.

Now, just where
would I look for Superman,

if I really did want him?

[���]

[PLANE FLYING OVERHEAD]

The history of the necklace--
Professor!

Quiet, Akbar, not now.
But, sahib--

Can't you see I'm in the middle
of a press conference?

This gentleman's from
a news service in India.

I was just about to
show him the necklace.

You know how much publicity
means to me.

All my life I've been a poor,
unnoticed archeologist.

I'm glad to
receive the attention

my little find has caused.

You have found
other necklaces before?

Oh, many, many.

The necklace is quite common

in the era
that I'm investigating.

But in the tomb of
the early chieftain, Tai-Wan...

surrounded by tablets
telling its legend...

I found this.

Sahib, put it away.
People are coming.

Of course
they're coming.

People all over the world
know of my find.

A plane has landed.
The plane with private markings.

What's that?

You must hide it.
There may be danger.

Danger.
How could there be?

I'm wearing it.

This protects me
from all danger.

No man dies who wears
this magic necklace.

Please, sahib--
[AIR WHOOSHING]

Listen. Again.

[���]

[DOOR LATCH CLICKS]

[LAUGHING]

Laughing.

Why are you
laughing?

At your words,
professor.

I do not mean
to belittle your findings,

but to say that a legend
could protect you--

Who are you?
Where do you come from?

Well, uh,
my name is Kent.

I'm from the Metropolis
Daily Planet.

Another
newspaperman.

An American!

What a wonderful
day.

You're just
in time to see

a demonstration
of my necklace.

Well, if you're Professor Jody,
perhaps you can help me.

You see, I'm trying to
find another American.

He has a girl and a youngster
with him--
Wait a minute.

Don't interrupt.

This gentleman
was laughing.

He doesn't believe in
the legend of the necklace.

And you do
believe in it?

You too?
Very well.

Akbar...

take
my revolver.

Fully loaded,
live shells.

Take it,
I say!

Fire!

Sahib.
Oh, now just a minute--

Professor, I apologize
if I've offended you--

Or you wish to have
the powers demonstrated on you?

Oh, no, please!
No, I apologize!

I think this has
gone far enough.

Now, please, sir.
Better still.

The American.

Then people will believe.

And Akbar,
use your knife.

Throw your knife so the people
will see it hit him.

Now just a minute.
I think this has gone far--

Don't worry.
You can't be serious.

Don't worry.
The knife won't hurt you.

Tai-Wan will protect you.

You'll see the legend,
and working.

Professor, now stop this.
You must.

You're not well. You can't be.
Or this is all nonsense--

[FOOTSTEPS]

Excuse us. We're looking for
Professor Jody.

My name's Morrell.
Clark!

Lois, Jimmy,
are you all right?

Mr. Kent.

It struck him.
I saw it.

The bullet
went through his coat.

But he's not hurt.
It's true.

The legend of the necklace
is true.

Did the necklace
really save him?

Be quiet.

Of course not.

He must be the most
fortunate man on Earth.

Maybe the bullet
glanced off his belt

or hit a coin
in his pocket.

Who cares?

But it plays right into
my hands, doesn't it?

What you saw
was an accident.

The gun fell off
the table, right?

It struck the hammer on the
floor and went off, that's all.

But it fired at you.
Well, that's very true.

But it could have been
just luck, couldn't it?

I mean, it seemed
to glance off me?

CLICKER:
Buddy, uh,
you're haywire.

That bullet must've
just plain bounced.

It was
the necklace.

The necklace
protected you.

Don't be ridiculous.
There's no such thing

as a charm that'll
protect a person from death.

Yeah?
[CLICKS]

Well,
that's--

That's been
my attitude.

But, uh, how did
that bullet

happen to
just bounce?

Uh-uh, buddy,
I'm convinced.

Either it's magic
or you're, uh...

You're, uh...
[CLICKS]

Superman.

What?

Tell us
you're Superman.

Well, I can't do that
very well.

Here. Let me see
that necklace.

Don't touch it.

It's mine.
I found it.

Well, all I wanna know,
is it the real McCoy?

Of course
it is.

You come with me,
gentlemen,

I'll tell you
the whole story.
[CLICKS]

Everybody's
crazy around here.

Oh, is that so?

Clark, how did you
get here before us?

Oh. Well, we found
your wallet on the runway.

And Henderson traced
Morrell's plane, well--

I'll explain it
all to you later. Come on,

let's get out of here now,
while we've got a chance.

But what about
the necklace, Clark?

It's a fabulous
story.
Well--

Hold it, lady.

I told the boss
we should've

left you
tied up on that plane.

You're a nuisance.
Oh, yes, Clark.

We're not exactly
guests of Mr. Morrell.

Just why he
bring you here?

Well, he said
he'd turn us loose

as soon as he got
the necklace for himself.

Then nobody can hurt him,
police or anyone.

So that's it.
And the professor doesn't know

what kind of a man
Morrell really is.

Clark, look out!

You ain't wearing
no charm now, buddy.

Shall we see if
this bullet bounces?

Uh, no.

I guess this is one time
when I ought to be Superman.

Even he couldn't
do any good, Clark.

If Morrell gets that necklace
away from the professor,

he'll lead
a charmed life.

Think of the crimes
he'll commit.

Lois, for the last time,
haven't I told you

there's absolutely
no such thing as magic.

Greetings
from the professor, sahib.

He invites you all to visit
the tomb of Tai-Wan.

You shall see
the wonders of the necklace

in its proper setting.

[���]

Is this
the tablet?

Yes. Here is
where I found it.

These are the instructions,
the story of the necklace.

It took me nearly a month
to translate them.

The necklace was lying
in the hands of the image...

the true guardian
of Tai-Wan's tomb.

It was intact.

It can never
be destroyed.

[CRASH]
Look out!

Don't be alarmed.

Nothing can harm me
while I wear this.

It's absolutely
amazing.

But I'd think
you'd be nervous

digging around in
a place like this.

These old tunnels
could cave in any minute.

Oh, nonsense, nonsense.

You say you translated
these instructions

and the whole legend.

And you know how to
use the necklace?

Of course, of course.

Clark, listen.
What's Morrell going to do?

I don't quite know,
Lois.

I have it written down.
Yeah, let's see.

Not yet. Oh, no.

Not yet,
Mr. Morrell.

Clicker,
the briefcase.

CLICKER:
Yeah, boss.

Lazy, get those
people back.

All right.

Don't you want them
as witnesses?

Professor, when Jake Morrell
pays out a million dollars,

he wants nobody
too close.

A million dollars.
Gosh.

Look, Akbar!

Money for us.
Money for my expeditions.

Wait! It's not yours yet,
professor.

So that's it.
He's afraid to try to

steal the necklace
from the professor.

But if he buys it,
it's just as bad.

Professor, wait!
Hold it, Lois.

But, Clark--
Lois,
if Morrell wants

to throw away his money,
why not let him?

After all,
he's just gonna

get a worthless
string of rocks.

Are you sure, Clark?

I saw the necklace
work once on you.

Yes, lady, that's right.
I saw it too.

How about it, professor?

For the last time...
was that guy just lucky?

Before you get
this million,

you've got to prove he was
saved by the magic necklace.

Of course I'll prove it.

Watch, everyone.

This is a supreme moment
of my career.

Akbar,
the knife.

AKBAR:
Sahib, no.

JODY:
Do as I say!

Here, as hard as
you can.

Please!
I cannot do it!

Stab!

Stab, I tell you!
Now!

May Allah forgive me.

Strike, Akbar.

You see, Morrell.

The magic necklace
did save Mr. Kent.

[CLICKS]
Yeah.

Yeah,
i-it works, boss.

JODY:
Of course it does.

JIMMY:
Mr. Kent?

Here I am, Jimmy.

Mr. Kent, did you
see that?

Mm-hm.

That professor
isn't crazy at all.

Why, the legend
is true.

Possibly, Jimmy.
Possibly.

Wha--?

What's the matter,
Morrell?

Can't you
speak?

You have
the real money.

I have the real
discovery.

Akbar, the gun.
Yes, sahib.

Show him
again.

No, I believe you.
Take the money.

Look out
for the ricochet!
Fire!

Stop it! Stop, stop!
Here, the money's yours.

I'll buy the necklace.
Agreed.

No, professor. You can't
give him such power.

He's a criminal.
Lazy, take the kids out.

LAZY:
All right,
come on.

MORRELL:
Clicker.

[CLICKS]
Yes, sir.

What are you doing?
You didn't think

you were gonna
keep the million, did you?

From now on, nobody can stop
Jake Morrell.

Clicker,
get the reporter.

[CLICKS]

[GASPS]

LOIS: Professor!
JIMMY: Mr. Kent!

He's still in there.
Mr. Kent!

MORRELL:
Never mind, it's too late!

It's a good thing for him.
Buried alive.

Come on.

[���]

Your servant's all right,
professor. How are you?

A million dollars.

My greatest chance
in a lifetime.

I wanted the money for my work.

For my expeditions.

Well, sir, that's
what happens sometimes

when you try to
commit a fraud.

What?

Well, I mean,
after all,

first there was that
fancy buildup to the legend,

then all those letters
to the newspapers,

and all that phony
publicity.

Just so you could hook
some sucker like Morrell.

I didn't mean any harm.

I wanted the money for science.

I know, sir.

And I'm-- I'm sorry
I saw through it.

But, after all,
first you get yourself

stabbed with a breakable knife,
then you get yourself shot.

O-of course,
they used blanks.

And I must say, you put on
a very good show, sir.

But you know
as well as I do.

There wasn't
any more magic

in that necklace
than there is in you.

It wouldn't even
protect a fly.

I know.

I did wrong.

It was all a fraud.

But why should
you be punished with me...

and poor Akbar?

Shh. Be quiet.

We'll never--

Never get out of here alive.
Shh, shh.

I don't hear anything.

Boss, there's
a way out.

Good. We'll
leave them here.

What you gonna do?
Clicker, the dynamite.

Dynamite? But you said
you'd turn us loose

when you got
the necklace.

Why should anyone live
to know what I've done?

To even know
that I have it?

Lazy, we'll
tie them up.

Here, boss.

What do you hear?

Nothing now, sir.

Oh, I'm sorry. I must have
stumbled against the torch.

But I'm gonna try
and get out of here, sir.

Perhaps I can get out
through there.

I'll try and make it
over to the other side.

How can you?

Mr. Kent?

Where are you?

Mr. Kent!

Hurry up, boss. That stuff will
go off pretty quick.

You boys better run.
I've got the necklace.
Yeah.

[AIR WHOOSHING]

Hey, boss!
Somebody's coming!

I've got it!
I've got the necklace!

It's Superman!

[���]

[GUNS CLICK]

[CLICKER GRUNTS]

Jimmy, do something.

Get over there
and try to put out that fuse.

I can't reach it, Miss Lane.

Anyway, there's nothing
to worry about.

I've got
the magic necklace.

Oh, Jimmy!

Here, we can both
hold onto it.

Then nothing can hurt
either of us.

You crazy kid.
That's no good.

Superman!

Superman!

Superman!
Hurry, please!

Aw, Miss Lane, what's
the matter with you?

We got the necklace
to protect us.

Jimmy, that dynamite's
going off any second.

In that case, we'll just
throw it up through the roof.

Golly, Superman,
we didn't need your help.

You ought to be helping
Mr. Kent and the professor.

Now, don't worry
about them, Jim.

They're
taken care of.

Oh, incidentally,

I hope the professor's
learned his lesson.

Lesson?
Yes, for inventing
this little fraud.

Fraud? Wh-why,
this is magic!

Magic. Jimmy, you aren't
going to tell me

you actually
believe in magic.

Oh, what's
the difference?

I'm so glad to see you, I won't
even ask how you got here.

But golly, Superman
hasn't seen it work.

Anybody that's wearing
this necklace...

nothing can hurt him.

Ow!

You kicked me on the shin!
Oh, it hurts.

What did
you say?

It hurts!
Ah?

I mean...

That dynamite...
We could have been--

NARRATOR:
Don't miss the next
thrill-packed episode

in the amazing

Adventures of Superman!

Superman is based on
the original character

appearing in Superman magazine.
