[instrumental music]

Lois, I'm home.

I had a train derailment
in Canada

an orphanage fire in London
and a dam broke in India.

Did you make something
for dinner?

[both grunting]

Oh, my gosh!
What happened?

- Lex Luthor.
- The rat.

Where's Lois?

She was here
just a second ago.

Probably scared witless,
poor thing.

Don't worry, I'll have you
out of that thing in no time.

[instrumental music]

Okay, let's see now.

Do I disconnect the black wire
or the white one?

(Lois)
'Don't worry, I'll save you.'

What do you think?

- Oh, no.
- Oh, no.

Shh!

[laughing]

What do I think?

Lois, I think
you got some explaining to do.

Clarkey, if
we're gonna be partners

and we're gonna be married,
I wanna be part of the act.

Lois, there are things I do,
you can't do.

- Me Superman.
- Me Superwife.

Us super in trouble.

Could you hold this argument
till later

and get us out of here?

- I knew this was gonna happen.
- I knew this was gonna happen.

I know I can't fly
and I can't stop bullets..

[phone ringing]

Uh-oh.

[explosion]

Eeh!

Ay, caramba!
You exploded them.

Oh, Clarkey. Well, I-I can
explain why they exploded..

[phone ringing]

- Ay, ay, ay!
- Well..

[phone ringing]

- Hola!
- Clark, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm just dreaming,
I think. What's up?

Well, I got a nightmare
for ya.

- Remember Bad Brain Johnson?
- How could I forget?

Remember his vendetta?

Against two reporters
and a certain Man of Steel

who tracked him down
and put him away?

- That's the one.
- He's in prison.

- Nope.
- When did he break out?

Two hours ago.

Perry just called,
he thought we ought to know.

I'm on my way.

Hola?

[theme music]

[music continues]

- Here we are. Safe and sound.
- Oh. Oh, it's so wonderful.

Tim, my pet,
could you get the door?

Of course, light of my light.

Go ahead
and make yourself comfy.

Get out of this outfit.

Can I get you something
to drink, Bad Brain?

First, I want some answers.

Who are you?

Why'd you bust me out?

Talk or I'll kill you

call a cab
and motor my butt down

to Funkytown
for a little R and R.

This way.

Please?

[dramatic music]

The reason for your liberation,
Mr. Johnson

is Amber and I believe that
you might possess something

that we hope
to find very useful.

- Yeah, what's that?
- A thirst for vengeance.

We wouldn't be discussing, uh

Klutz Kent, Nosy Lane and
Super Duper, now, would we?

- Yes.
- We would.

As to who we are,
well, did you happen

to catch the articles
written in "Forbes"

"Vanity Fair" and "Esquire"
while you were in prison?

Uh, actually, I'm more of a

Popular Mechanics
Slaughterhouse Digest

kind of a guy.

We're rich people, Bad Brain.

Rich people, with a hobby.

We collect things. Rare,
unusual, one-of-a-kind things.

And aside from each other..

Possession is our passion.

[laughing]

- This block of cement.
- Jimmy Hoffa!

And here, the arms of
the Venus de Milo.

This car, of course,
one-of-a-kind.

[chuckles]
We're just batty about it.

[laughing]

On the right, the original
draft of the Magna Carta.

It's a room full of treasures.

No one knows they're here.
They're just for us.

And now we'd like to add

something else
to our collection.

But Kent, Lane and Superman
stand in the way.

And you want me to do
your dirty work for you.

- Yes.
- Yes.

I love dirty work.

Hey, what's that?

[intense music]

[electrical buzzing]

Hey, that's my stuff.

[laughing]

That's right, B.B., the
fantastic electronic gadgets.

You made famous in
your crime career.

Hey, how'd you find my secret
lair, huh? It's secret.

We queried
a few of your cronies.

Blabbermouths.
I'll kill them.

Oh, don't worry about that.

[laughing]

Did we do well?

Ah, the electro-whammy.

Did you know that the human body
is an electro-chemical engine

and if you amplify its current,
resonate it and kick it over

a little household AC, zap!

[exhales]
Ashes to ashes.

How about a demonstration?

Um, well, we would need
a guinea pig.

I believe we've got one.

[electrical buzzing]

[dramatic music]

[laughing]

- Phase one.
- Complete.

[clears throat]

Perry White?

Oh, thank God, they finally
arrived. Here, Jimmy.

Ah, thank you, officer.

Oh, I am not wearing
a bulletproof vest.

I want you protected.

Uh, chief, I don't think
Superman's gonna let

anything happen to us.

I don't see him here now.
Do you?

See? Exactly.
Wear 'em.

(Jimmy)
'Maybe you guys can start
a new fashion trend.'

- Jimmy.
- Maybe not.

So, what do you have?

(Jimmy)
'I've had no luck tracking
Bad Brain through his pals.'

His last three accomplishes
are no longer in Metropolis.

What, they left town?

They left this
plane of existence.

'All three were murdered one
week ago, tortured to death.'

- No clues, no suspects.
- Why tortured?

Somebody probably wanted
some information.

So, what we're left with
according to the warden

'is two unknown accomplices'

who blasted a well-known lunatic
out of prison.

Speaking of lunatics,
can I ask you guys a question?

What is up with Perry's taste
in ties lately?

Old gifts from Alice,
they're not getting along

and he thinks wearing the old
ties will smooth things over.

Yeah, well,
his last tie looks like

someone smoothed a clown
over it with a steamroller.

He loves her.

There isn't that much
love in the world.

(man on speaker)
'211, silent alarm robbery
in progress in Star Labs.'

- What is it?
- Star Labs.

- Something's happening.
- Well, maybe it's Bad Brain.

- Can I go?
- No.

Oh, come on, Clark,
why do we go through this?

We both know I'm gonna go.

- Then why do you ask?
- I'm trying to be nice.

[wind whooshes]

[gasps]

Oh, man!

[indistinct chatter on radio]

[men coughing]

What happened?

I'm-I'm sorry.
I'm still a little bit loopy.

- Superman, they took it all.
- 'Took all of what?'

- Was it Bad Brain?
- We didn't see anybody.

Nobody had to.

[sighs]

(Lois)
His calling card.

Did he leave that in
the Kryptonite vault?

- Uh, Dr. Klein--
- The what?

The vault, where we kept
the Kryptonite for Superman.

Excuse me, you're keeping
Kryptonite here?

And now Bad Brain Johnson
has it. Oh, my head.

(Superman)
'Doctor, can you excuse us
for a second?'

Yeah.

- Why would you have Kryptonite?
- Oh!

Uh, Dr. Klein is working
on a radiation therapy.

It is like a vaccine.

If we can counteract
its effects then

it won't be a problem
any longer.

- If he finds a vaccine? Clark!
- Superman.

Why would you let that stuff
anywhere near you?

You know, get rid of it.
Throw it into the sun.

Of course, now, you can't
throw it into the sun

because Bad Brain Johnson,
has stolen it.

He could have it pointed
at your thick skull right now.

- Uh, okay, you're angry.
- Yes.

Don't you think
you should've told me?

I don't know.
I don't know how this works.

Are two people supposed to tell
each other everything?

Yes, I think two people
who are considering getting..

Who are considering doing what..
Don't they?

Wait a minute, are-are we
talking about what we decided

not to talk about?

No, no, we're not discussing
marriage because that

combined with other unusual
aspects of our relationship

is making us both crazy and so,
no, we should not discuss it.

Okay, fine.
So we won't.

Fine and that leaves us
...where?

[sighs]

[dramatic music]

With this clue.

Right. A clue.

Tire tracks.
And very recent.

[cracking]

With any luck, this might
put Bad Brain back on ice.

[laughing]

That was quite a heist
Bad Brain pulled off.

He is good, isn't he?

Do you know the best part,
my queen?

What, my Centurion?

We're going to own Superman.

And we don't even need this.

[laughter]

[intense music]

Don't dawdle, Miss Goodbottom.

[tires screeching]

[sighs]

[music continues]

Did you call me Miss Goodbottom?

Unless you'd prefer
to be shaken, not stirred

I'd suggest you strap in.

I have a definite feeling things
will be getting very cerebral.

- Could you speak English?
- Bad Brain Johnson's behind us.

He's back there?

Let me take care of this.
I know how to handle him.

I'll give him a migraine.
Who does he think he is?

Busting out of prison,
making our lives miserable.

In the future years,
Miss Goodbottom

when I've gone on to a series
of successful sequels

and you've gone on
to relative obscurity

please remember, at this moment
...I was only thinking of you.

[music continues]

[beeps]

[gasps]
Clark?

The name is Man.

Superman.

[Lois screaming]

- What's the matter?
- It's not fair.

What isn't?

Did you ever notice
in all those movies

James Bond did all the driving?

What?

Nothing.

You know, it's just when you
get right down to it

he did what he did alone.

The cars were all that mattered.
The women were hood ornaments.

They weren't part of the act.

Well, yeah.

- What made you say that?
- Ha, no reason.

- So who do we see next?
- Uh, Tim and Amber Lake.

The Tim and Amber Lake.

The most written about,
talked about

happiest, richest couple
in Metropolis.

You know, somehow I don't see
them hanging out

with Bad Brain Johnson.

That tire tread we found
was an Italian import.

Only a few people bought them
and they're on the list.

What'd you tell them
the interview was about?

Ah, how you too
can achieve total

and perpetual bliss
with the one you love.

[chuckles]
Good. I was wondering
how that worked.

Uh, follow me.

(Amber)
What an amazing coincidence.

Well, just the other day
we were saying how much

we like your work.

And if we must be interviewed..
And I suppose we must..

[laughing]

Well, we'd love to be
interviewed by you.

And here we are.

Just trying to figure out
what makes you two tick.

Oh, we definitely tick.
Don't we, darling?

Yes, angel.

[Amber mumbling]

[Amber laughing]

Oh, we never fight.

(Amber)
'Because we think
exactly alike.'

Doesn't that get a little..

- Boring?
- Boring?

As opposed to the half-truths,
white lies, sublimated anger--

Grudges, irritations,
constant arguments.

Of 99.9% of all the failed
and failing relationships

in the world at any given time.

It must be an emotional jungle
out there.

A courtship horror show.

Glad I'm nowhere near it,
lover man.

Me too, heart of my heart.

[both laughing]

So, let's talk about
your hobbies.

Absolutely.

What would you like to know?

Well, we hear you collect cars.

- We collect everything.
- Cars.

We have how many, darling?

- Eighty?
- Eighty-three, my pet.

Oh, your mind is like a crystal.

(Tim)
'Too many facets to count.'

[clears throat]
Uh..

Off the record, uh, can I ask
your advice on something?

- What would you like to know?
- Ginelli tires.

(Clark)
'I'm thinking about
buying a set.'

'Have you ever heard of them?'

Yes. Very expensive.

- But they're very good.
- Do you own some?

I bought some,
for a business acquaintance.

Here in Metropolis?

- He lives in Istanbul.
- Ah!

- Istanbul.
- Istanbul.

I don't know if I suspect them
because they're suspects

or because they make
me wanna barf.

His eyes did do a little dance
when we mentioned those tires

but could they have busted

Bad Brain out of prison,
those two?

I think we should find every
piece of information we can

on Tim and Amber Lake.

[engine cranking]

[intense music]

Interesting.

We used the van
with the Ginelli tires

for our little raid
on the Star Labs.

And along comes this Clark Kent
and asks about Ginelli tires.

I suppose it could just be
an amazing coincidence.

Do you really think so,
mon petit chou?

[chuckles]
Of course not.

But Clark Kent's not
part of our plan, correct?

As always.

Then let's kill him.

[laughing]

Better yet,
let Bad Brain Johnson kill him.

Ah!

Step by step,
closer to Superman.

(man #1 on TV)
'The story you're about
to see is true.'

'The names have been changed
to protect the guilty.'

(White)
This is the city, Metropolis.

This is "The Planet."

My partner and I were working
the day watch out of Bunco.

My name's White.
I carry a badge.

My partner's name is Olsen.

We'd nabbed a
suspect on charges

of marital nonparticipation.

Make it easy on yourself, Kent.

Tell us your whereabouts
when your wife flipped out.

I-I don't know.
I could've been anywhere.

See, I-I have this other job.

- Doing good, that about right?
- I try.

You're busy a lot.
Like the night of June 8th?

- I don't remember.
- Night your son was born.

July 10th, fifth anniversary
ring a bell?

There-there was this
really big fire.

August 1st? This little league
mitt refresh your memory?

Earthquake. Look, I-I really
tried to make it to that game.

- But you didn't, did you?
- That's the point.

Let me tell you
something Mr. Kent

your wife may have been the one
to go psycho.

Trash a supermarket.

Throw over
all the vegetable bins.

Melt the entire freezer section.

But you drove her to it.

- You're just as guilty.
- G-guilty of what?

Indifference.

Preoccupation with other things.

- 'No emotional support.'
- 'No time for bedtime stories.'

And don't give me another
saving-the-Hoover-Dam alibi

'cause I've heard it all before.

Once you slide on
that band of gold

you know what you
are, Mr. Kent?

Nothing new.
You're a husband, a breadwinner.

The mister and spouse,
a Dagwood

'the guy who builds
model airplanes'

teaches the hoop shots

the sole support
of the 10-40 long form.

Oh, man, I was afraid
this wouldn't work.

[crying]

Pathetic.

(man #1 on TV)
'On December 3rd, trial
was held in Department 186'

'in and for the county
of Metropolis.'

'Defendant was found
guilty of 87 counts'

'of spousal insensitivity.'

[camera shutter clicks]

C.K.?

- Hello, C.K.?
- Oh, yeah.

Where were you?

Someplace scary.
What's up?

This is that research you
guys wanted on the Lakes.

Interviews, club memberships,
financial stuff.

They sound like
the perfect couple.

Sure, yeah.
Does he have a second job?

I mean, is he gonna miss
Little League games?

You know, Jimmy,
let me tell you something

for some of us, life is just
a little bit more complicated.

Hey, you and Lois are
a good couple too.

(man #2 on TV)
'Their love is not just
a many splendored thing.'

'Oh, no, it's a rare
and wondrous thing.'

'Like their shared
passion for beauty'

'and art
and everything unique.'

'Tim and Amber collect
romance alongside Picassos'

'race horses and homes.'

'But the thing
they treasure most'

'is their love
for one another.'

Enough.

I know.

You can only take so much.

- Are these guys for real?
- Why not?

They seem just like us

they never fight,
they think exactly alike.

- Yeah. You want some coffee?
- Sure.

Anyway, they don't seem
like criminals.

What do I know?

These glasses fooled me
for two years.

[laughing]

Oh, boy, what a dope.

(Clark)
'Well, is it your fault
that I picked'

such a brilliant disguise?

Wait a minute.
Where's Lois Lane?

She was just standing here
a second ago.

[chuckles]

Are we okay?

Yeah, we're okay, I think.
Aren't we?

Yeah, I guess so.

I just had the strangest

nightmare-like flash
about us today.

You too? Because I-I had
a nightmare about us.

Well, I don't get it, I thought
we stopped talking about..

Y-you know, so that we wouldn't
have this pressure.

Maybe we should just stop..

...talking, period.

[instrumental music]

[buzzing]

What's that?

[dramatic music]

[buzzing continues]

[beeping]

Lois!

[buzzing continues]

[Lois gasps]

[zapping]

[explosion]

[music continues]

- Oh, great!
- It was Bad Brain.

I-I figured.

So this is where
you keep the suits.

Kept.

Oh, there's one left.

Look at this cape.

My mom's gonna kill me.

I thought they were
indestructible.

Only when I'm wearing them.

Anything close to me
is contained

within an aura that extends
a few millimeters from my skin.

Well, thanks for
keeping me close.

This time.

Listen, Lois, that machine
mistook you for me.

That means that Bad Brain is
gonna be coming for you next.

- Well, I'll be ready.
- You'll be out of reach.

No, no, no, you
listen to me, partner--

No, Superman doesn't
have a partner.

I'm talking to Clark.

Lois, please don't make my job
any harder, than it has to be.

- I'm not gonna disappear.
- I know, I know.

But how do you feel
about a vacation?

This great little out-of-the-way
place that I know.

[insects chirping]

Who wants extra spicy?

Careful, Lois,
dad's extra spicy..

...deadly.

The rest of us have grown
a tolerance over the years.

Don't pay any
attention to them.

- Sure, I'll try it.
- Yeah, gambler in the house.

(Martha)
Almost finished.

I'm surprised you had
so much material, mom.

Well, to tell the truth,
I got it on special.

(Jonathan)
So, well, Lois, Clark tells me

that you're gonna be staying
with us till this

uh, Barnacle Bill gets bored
or calls it quits.

Bad Brain.

Bad..

[laughing]
I-I-I can't keep up.

Actually, I'm only gonna stay
for a couple of days.

I don't wanna make Clark handle
the whole thing by himself.

Oh, but, honey.

Sometimes don't you have
to let Clark do it alone?

You're a little more
likely to get hurt.

On the other hand,
Lois is a smart woman

and she doesn't wanna feel
pushed aside either.

Oh.

Listen to us.

You'd think
it was our problem.

I'm sure you guys
are working this stuff out

if you're talking
about marriage.

Oh, I forgot.

You're not...talking about it.

We just decided
to give it a little rest.

It was..
Thank you.

It was making us both
a little nuts.

(Jonathan)
You see how things change,
Martha?

In our day, it would've driven
us nuts not to talk about it.

Oh, Lord, yes.

I was so nervous
about getting married.

If I'd held in
my silly little fears

they would've become
...gigantic.

Maybe you'd even
had nightmares.

- Probably.
- 'Oh, boy.'

- Would you look at this?
- Oh, turn it up.

(male reporter on TV)
'To repeat, an 8.4 earthquake
has struck Beijing, China.'

'There are reports of hundreds
of people trapped'

'and buried in the rubble--'

I-I've gotta go.
I'll be back as soon as I can.

Lois, please...don't leave
until I get back.

(male reporter on TV)
'Residents are bracing
for the loss of electricity.'

[Superman whooshes]

(male reporter on TV)
'Much of the older section
of the city'

'is completely destroyed.'

'The number of
homeless is reported'

'to be in the
tens of thousands.'

'We can now report that Superman
has just arrived in the city.'

'Rescue workers and ordinary
citizens stand cheering'

'as he begins single handedly'

'moving tons of rubble
and twisted metal.'

'Having reported myself
from the scenes'

'of devastation such as this,
I can tell you this is a..'

[tape rewinding]

(Superman on tape)
'Your Honor, Lois and Clark
deserve the credit here.'

'The important thing is
Bad Brain'

'is right back in jail.'

'Which is where we want him.'

Darling, listen to this.

A message for Lois.

(Tim)
I've reassembled certain words
from Superman's speech

'to leave a message for her.'

(Superman on tape)
'Lois, I think we
may have Bad Brain'

'right where we want him.'

Oh, honey, it's fantastic.

A few more words
and we'll have quite

an enticing little come-hither.

Anything about Kent's death
on the news?

No, this earthquake in China's
a slightly bigger deal.

But, sweetheart,
Superman's over there.

I can't think of a better time
to spring a trap.

[laughing]

[Lois sighs]

Who's helping you, Bad Brain?

Who knew there was
Kryptonite at Star Labs?

[sighs]

[intense music]

Star Labs.

They're on the board.

Right, your earliest flight
to Metropolis.

[music continues]

Superman still in China?

Repairing the Great Wall.

Boy Scout.

I think it's time
Bad Brain Johnson

made his next move.

Don't you?

[laughing]

[tires screeching]

[indistinct chatter]

- Excuse me, can I help you?
- I'm waiting for Miss Lane.

Eh, Lois is gonna be out
of the office for a while.

- Her and Mr. Kent are out--
- Uh, Dr. Klein.

- Lois.
- Lois?

- Thanks for meeting me.
- What are you doing here?

(Perry)
You're supposed
to be laying low.

Now, where's Clark?
Is he okay?

- He's fine.
- Where's your bulletproof vest?

Dry cleaner's.
Let me wear that tie.

Bullets will run screaming.

It's a gift. Hey.

[sighs]

Dr. Klein, is it possible

that somebody
on the board of Star Labs

knew that you had Kryptonite?

Dr. Klein?

I don't wanna get anyone
in trouble.

Well, this is urgent.

Kryptonite is out there
and so is Superman.

So who knew?

You must understand

that research grants today
are harder to come by.

They offered to make a
major donation towards my work

if I confirmed
the presence of Kryptonite.

They're highly respected
members of the board.

I didn't think
it'd hurt for them to know.

After the stuff was stolen..

...I was afraid
that I'd be ruined.

It's Tim and Amber Lake
who know, isn't it?

Isn't it?

Yes.

[phone ringing]

Lois Lane.

(Clark on tape)
'Lois, I think we may have'

'Bad Brain right
where we want him.'

'Meet me in the alley
behind the "Daily Planet."'

Don't move.

Clark? Superman.

Superman, what's going..

Bad Brain.

Oh, don't look so shocked.
On second thought, do.

[electrical buzzing]

Two down, one to go.

You're next, Superman.

[intense music]

[grunting]

- When did she go?
- We don't know.

We woke up..

[sighs]

...she was gone.

(Lois on TV)
'Bad Brain.'

(Bad Brain on TV)
'Oh, don't look so shocked.
On second thought, do.'

[electrical buzzing]

- Where's Lois?
- Superman.

What-what's happened?

- Bad Brain.
- 'Oh, don't look so shocked.'

(Bad Brain)
'On second thought, do.'

[electrical buzzing]

[dramatic music]

Two down and one to go.

- You're next, Superman.
- No!

[crashes]

[mellow music]

[groans]

[electrical buzzing]

(Tim)
I wouldn't do that.

Sustained contact for longer
than point three seconds

will detonate the 200 pounds of
TNT directly beneath your feet.

- Why am I here?
- We're faking your death.

- Everybody thinks I'm dead?
- Especially Superman.

A little video editing,
coupled with Bad Brain Johnson's

very public hatred of you.

'Everyone thinks
that you were fried'

'by Bad Brain's
electro-whammy.'

- Where is Bad Brain?
- His death we didn't fake.

You killed him?

Right after we broke him
out of prison.

He was superfluous.

We wanted you.

As a means to an end
...Superman's.

We're collectors.

You're the honey, honey.

Superman's the bee.

[intense music]

[bell ringing]

What's happened?

I didn't know
how else to reach you.

I know she was your friend.
I'm so desperately sorry.

Thank you.

Did Miss Lane tell you
about the Lakes?

No.

It was right after
they asked about the Kryptonite

that the robbery happened.

Isn't the robber the one
who killed Ms. Lane?

[instrumental music]

[sighs]
Well, where is he?

For heaven's sake
how long does it take

to put all the pieces together?

Oh.

Apparently not long.

Superman, delightful to see you.

- Cafe latte?
- Maybe he prefers decaf.

Where's Bad Brain?

I'm afraid I can't help you
with Bad Brain.

I think you'll agree, though

we have something
much more interesting.

[beeping]

What's going on, Lake?

I'm in no mood
for guessing games.

But are you
in the mood for this?

- Superman.
- Lois.

So near and yet so far.

[laughing]

- It's a trap.
- I know.

- They have Kryptonite.
- I don't care.

You've got 30 seconds.

You mess with the timer,
she dies.

You break the light field,
she dies.

'You try to disarm the bomb'

and clean our clocks,
she also dies.

The only way for you to save
her, is to join our collection.

Forever.

[dramatic music]

Don't do it.

It's the only way
to keep you alive.

Would you stop?
The world needs you.

- And I need you.
- Ten seconds and counting.

You'll be trapped, caged.

- I'll be with you.
- Two seconds.

[music continues]

No.

- Lift off.
- We did it!

[moaning]

You see, Superman,
we wanted you alive.

Lois is the lock
on your cage.

Either of you breaks
the light field, she gets it.

No matter how fast you fly,
you still set it off.

Now, the floor is a minefield,
anyone tries to rescue..

Well, you get the idea.

We'll talk about your feeding
schedule later.

- 'How about a drink, Amber?'
- 'I'm buying.'

(Tim)
Oh, one last detail.

[music continues]

With the two of you
and Clark dead

no one will come
looking for you.

And since Bad Brain did it,
no one will come looking for us.

(Amber)
'Oh, isn't he fantastic?'

Welcome to forever.

[laughing]

This isn't exactly
how I pictured us

getting old together.

You gave up everything
in your life...for me.

Without you,
it wouldn't have been a life.

[mellow music]

She's gone, Jimmy.

I'll never get used
to that either.

Now, have we heard from Clark?

No.

Why couldn't she have
just stayed hidden?

Lois is a very..

...was a very headstrong woman.

Chief, Superman will find
Bad Brain and when he does

I'd hate to be in his shoes.

But I'd love to be there
to see Superman kick his butt.

Yeah, but where is Superman?
I mean, is he even on the case?

You want my guess?

Superman is somewhere
bumming big-time.

[knock on door]

Don't come in here
unless you got good news.

There's a package
for you, Mr. White.

Oh. Ah.

Thank you.

What's this?

Oh, my God.

He's dead.

Superman is dead.

(Lois)
I was thinking..

- About?
- Little things.

All the stupid little things
I let bother me.

Things I kept inside.

I let keep us apart.

I know.

I was the same way.

Your parents were right.

Not talking about our fears

just made them worse
than they are.

I guess...you don't really
wanna be Superman, do you?

[chuckles]
No.

I guess you think of me
as more than a hood ornament.

I don't even own a car.

[chuckles]

[mellow music]

God.

I wish I could touch you.

Well, you can touch me
...with your words.

Ever since we met..

...actually..

...ever since I took
the time to listen..

...something about you
always made sense to me.

[music continues]

Even when a huge part of
you didn't make any sense..

...there was a part deep
down that...that did.

That's the part
that touches me.

Just makes sense out of life.

- Lois.
- I know.

[music continues]

I know.

[music continues]

- Lois, wake up.
- Hmm.

- I'm getting us out of here.
- What?

I can fly around the world
in minutes, right?

Well, I've always thought..

...in theory,
if I could focus that energy

I could vastly
increase my speed.

Well, how will increasing
your speed help us escape?

Because if I could
gear up my speed

and shift it back and forth,
I'll vibrate.

Vibrate so fast that I could
displace my molecular structure.

And turn yourself into
a mass of loose molecules?

And pass through
this force field.

What if it doesn't work?

- It's all semi-theoretical.
- It's semi-suicidal!

[sighs]

Okay, tell me the truth.

- Could it kill you?
- I don't know.

Well, a few hours ago
you weren't willing

to let me die for you, so
why should I let you die for me?

At least this has
a chance, Lois.

That's what you and I together
are all about

taking a chance.

[sighs]

[buzzing]

You see, it doesn't work.
Clark, it's just too hard.

Remember...I love you.

No, Clark, don't!

[buzzing]

[dramatic music]

Come back to me.

You did it. You did it.

Clark, listen to me.
You can't touch the floor.

'You gotta fly,
you can't touch the floor.'

That's it.

'You can do it.'

'You're doing great.'

[music continues]

(Lois)
'That's it.'

- What's that?
- A problem.

If you touch
the force field, the spark

is sent across one
of these jumpers

and the bomb goes off.

The problem is I don't,
I don't know which one.

Five are dummies,
only one is real.

So, what do I do?

- Touch the force field.
- What?

I'll stop the circuit
before it closes.

A-are you sure you're faster
than electricity?

[music continues]

Yeah, yeah. I know.

Take a chance. Okay.

So I'll go on three.

You know, one, two, um..

Okay.

Yeah, I-I-I'm not
gonna say three.

- Lois.
- Okay. Here goes.

[music continues]

One, two..

[electrical buzzing]

Clark.

[beeping]

What's happening?

Problem in the zoo.

I'll handle the Lakes.

You go call the police.

The cops, right.
And then what?

Then you and I'll go home

because we got a lot
of explaining to do.

What?

I-I'll tell you about it later.

[door opens]

[dramatic music]

- Uh!
- Oh.

With any luck,
that'll be the last time

Tim and Amber Lake
see each other.

[applause]

Great job, you two.

If you want a lifetime
contract, just see me.

Actually, we're working on that.

Definitely.

Well, I know you all
have had a difficult time

these last couple of weeks.

We're okay, Perry.

Yeah, well, just remember,
there's no perfect sunsets.

There's a little crack
in every cloud

but that's what gives
you your silver lining.

So, uh, well, here's
to silver linings.

I'll drink to that.

[laughing]

Ah.

[sighs]

[instrumental music]

[chuckles]

What do you think?

There's no time
like the right time.

[music continues]
