He's gone.

He's gone.

Lois?

Lois, you're crying.

Don't you know what happened?

I understand
Superman left the country.

Too bad. I'll miss him.

He didn't leave.

He was sent some place
by John Doe.

And, and his
name's not John Doe.

It's Tempus a-and
he's a monster.

He-he's from the future
and he's trying to destroy

everything that's
good in the country.

Gee, that's just the kind
of stuff he said you'd say.

What?

President-elect Doe told me
you supported the other side.

Mr. President, you
were the other side.

I know, but in my heart,
I knew he was right.

Lois, the whole country's
behind John Doe.

Get on board.

He bears you no ill will.

'John Doe. John Doe.'

We just have to trust him.

'John Doe. John Doe.'

John Doe. John Doe. John Doe.

Oh, my God.

We got on the plane
as soon as we got your call.

What's happened to my boy?

I wish I knew exactly, Martha.

Lois, are you sure he's gone?

Clark vanished
through a time window.

It was, uh, brought here by..

...the most evil
man I have ever met.

He comes from the future..

...and he's always
wanted two things.

To control the world

'and to destroy Superman.'

But who is this person?

The new president John Doe.

Oh, but, Lois, that can't be.

John Doe is..

Well, he's just a darn nice guy.

See, this is what
I'm up against.

I know who he truly is

and as long as I keep that
image, I can think the truth.

'But no one else knows him.'

And somehow he has brainwashed
the entire country

into thinking that
John Doe is a darn nice guy.

Oh, honey.
Honey, we believe you.

It just doesn't seem
like Clark is dead.

Maybe he can be found.

If I haven't learned
anything else in this life

I've learned
you have to cling to hope.

That's what Clark would say.

- 'Hello.'
- Yes, he would.

Lois, Perry White.

Lois, don't you dare
go in to work right now.

Perry, it's Lois.

Yeah, that's wonderful
news about John Doe.

What?

Alright, I'll be there.

- Lois, at least get some rest...
- I'm going in.

I've got to stay
close to this thing.

I have to find a way
to beat Tempus.

What did Perry want?

Congress is so anxious
to have John Doe in office

they may move up
the inauguration.

In two days, Tempus might be

the most powerful man
in the world.

Hmm.

Well, it's all very presidential

but does it say emperor to you?

Well, we don't actually have
emperors in this country.

Not yet, but it's only
a pen stroke away.

This is America, Garner.
A man can dream...

You can't go in there.

- I tried to stop him, sir.
- You wanted to see me?

Yes. Dragon, isn't it?

That's the name.

Dragon, I'm told that
you are the cruelest

most sadistic, most feared
cutthroat in Metropolis.

You killed your parents
when you were three

and it's been
downhill ever since.

That's more or less it.

How'd you like to be
secretary of state?

Now, my friend
President Garner...

Pleased to meet you, Mr. Dragon.

And his lame-duck Congress

will be enacting
several bills into law.

They'll need enforcing.

Well, I guess you don't get it.

I don't enforce laws.

I guess you don't get it.

I'm giving you carte blanche

to shoot anyone who
doesn't agree with me.

But everybody agrees
with you, Mr. Doe.

Well, an astronomically
high percentage does, yes.

But there's still holdouts.

That's why I need legislation

making it illegal not
to use the phone.

But that's silly.

Not to mention,
unconstitutional.

- You want me to plug him?
- Patience.

Do me a favor. Pick me up
some new suits and a new watch.

This stuff was damaged in a
little explosion we had here.

Now, look, Mr. President.

If we're to have
an orderly transition

you have to remember that I am
the most popular politician

the world has ever known.

Even Reagan in his heyday

couldn't have gotten away
with this.

You just killed him.

Guess you'll have to report me.

This is for you, prez.

'John Doe just did
a very wise thing.'

Uh, this is the president.

I need to..

...let you know that John
Doe just did a very wise thing.

That's why the phone, you idiot.

Lois, where's Clark?

Uh, Clark, he's..

He's not feeling well.
He's not here.

Oh, well, he'll be alright.

Tell him to drink
plenty of liquids.

Now, listen,
I want you to skedaddle

over to the Regent Hotel.

President-elect Doe
has picked you

for his very first
post-election interview.

- Oh, he has, has he?
- Yes.

He says you're the only one
that understands him.

Oh, he does, does he?

Well, I'd like to have
a few words with Mr. Doe.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
- I'm dreadfully so..

- Miss Lane.
- H.G. Wells, oh.

Mr. Wells, Tempus is out.

Ah, I feared as much.

He's president
of the United States.

Catastrophic.

And, Miss Lane, has something
happened to Superman?

- Yeah.
- That's why I'm here.

I was visiting the future,
the wonderful utopia there

suddenly changed to a
world of chaos and mayhem.

The statue of you and Superman

honoring you for your
good work vanished.

Does that mean Clark is dead?

Well, it-it means
he's not present.

Tempus tricked him into
stepping into this time window

and then it exploded.

But you could travel through
time. You could find him.

Mm. No, my dear,
it's not so simple.

You see, if the time
window exploded

then Clark has been
banished to a nanosecond

that's actually out
of time as we know it.

A vortex without past or future.

- Finding him would be...
- Impossible.

You know, I don't
like that word.

But the longer Clark
remains in the time warp..

In the next forty eight
hours, it could diminish

until it vanishes into nothing.

Well, I was wondering
how long it'd take

to get to that part
of the interview.

You are dirt. You are
filth. You're pocket lint.

You are pocket lint
in the pockets of lawyers.

Oh, calm
down. You want a martini?

No, I don't want a martini.

Tempus, don't you realize
that if I was able to block out

this John Doe hypnosis,
then others can too.

And we will bring you down.

No, you won't.

You are alone, Lois.

The only other living soul
who knows the truth about me

is Clark and whoops.

He's not living anymore, is he?

Yes, he is.
He's coming back.

What do you think this is?
A family television show?

Only unhappy endings
allowed here, Lois.

Let's see.

I could shoot you
or hang you on the spot

but what's the fun in that?

Now you're the only sane one
in the asylum, darling.

Between that
and losing your husband

you should be clawing
the walls in no time.

This interview's over.

You don't get it, do you?

You can't stamp out goodness.

'You might take
the whole world in tonight'

but a little sliver of light
is gonna come through

and we'll have you.

You make
a very attractive widow.

'John Doe
supporters by the millions'

'flooded Times Square
for the eighth night in a row'

'to celebrate the election
of America's newest folk hero'

'the President-elect John Doe.'

'Not perhaps since Lincoln'

'has a candidate risen from
such obscure beginnings..'

Oh, John Doe doesn't exist.

It's Tempus. It's Tempus.

Clark, where are you?

- Mr. Wells.
- Lois, brace yourself.

- I've brought..
- Clark!

- Oh.
- 'No, my dear, it's not Clark.'

Or at least not yours.

I'm sorry, my dear.

I know this must seem
an awful trick.

But you remember this Clark,
don't you?

You helped create his Superman
in the alternate universe.

Even in that world,
Tempus wanted him gone.

What he couldn't do there,
he's done here.

Lois, I know how bringing
Clark here must look.

That any thought of retrieving
my Clark is hopeless?

That the only thing that stands

between Tempus
and world conquest is Superman?

Is that what you think
I think it looks like?

I'd say the world could use
a Superman just now.

Lois, I'm not your Clark..

...but I can be Superman.

In my world,
I've become the Superman

'that you encouraged me to be.'

I know this sounds awful..

...but I really don't
want you here.

It's like having Clark, but not.

And accepting you means
accepting that he's gone

and I'm not ready to do that.

Clark would want me to stay.

How do you know
what Clark would want?

He'd want me
to protect this world.

He'd want me to protect you.

Hon, your cookie dough
ice cream is..

Clark.

- Oh, Clark.
- Son.

Martha, this is not our Clark.

If it's not our Clark,
whose Clark is it?

Perhaps I can explain.

- And who are you?
- H.G. Wells.

The writer?

Aren't you dead?

Well, only some of the time.

Martha, Jonathan, H.G. Wells
can travel through time and space

and he brought this Clark
here from a parallel universe

where we all exist,
but in altered forms.

Oh, I see.

But you look so much
like my son.

And you look so much
like my mom..

'...and dad.'

And in that place,
we're your parents?

Were.

My parents died
when I was a kid.

I never thought I'd see you..

...them again.

- Clark, I'm sorry.
- Wh-what?

I'm sorry for forgetting that
as rotten as all this is for me..

...for all of us, that it must
be pretty hard for you too.

Lois, I'd really like to help.

- Are you okay with it?
- Yeah.

Then I shall be on my way.

Perhaps I can locate your Clark.

Hello, Herb.

Tempus.

That's President-elect Doe

but I'll forgive
the faux pas this once.

- I've been expecting you.
- Yes.

You knew I'd deduce
that a corrupted future

was your doing and would return
through time to find you.

You're a regular Jack Webb.

On the other hand,
as easy as it was

for you to trace
my movements backward

that's how impossible it will be
for you to find your Superman.

You're a fiend
beyond comprehension.

And a good dancer.
But enough small talk.

Let's go to my place.

There's only room in town
for one time traveler

and you and this contraption
are better off in my hands.

If I refuse?

Go ahead. Make my days.

John Doe,
John Doe, John Doe, John Doe.

Citizens, voters
and phone owners

thank you for the huzzas.

If I could have just an
impromptu moment of your time.

Like I have to ask.

Everything I have I owe to you

because we are one big family.

- With me as the papa..
- Papa!

- And you as the kiddies.
- Kiddies!

We will prosper
under one big roof

'obey one big set of laws'

use one big phone company

and you'll do everything
that papa says.

I'm pleased to announce
Congress has also

unanimously passed
the non-phone act

making it treasonous
not to use the phone.

'And we know that if
we're good girls and boys..'

...all will be well.

We also know that if we're bad

we'll be punished.

'A papa must know when
to cut back on your allowance'

and when to shoot you.

I had to use a postcard.
We don't own a phone.

A papa must be stern.

Ready.

Aim..

I get to be commander in chief
with a war already on my hands.

- Thank you, Superman.
- Thank you.

He was gonna shoot us just
because we don't use phones.

- He's a madman.
- Nuts.

So y-you don't like John Doe?

We hate John Doe.

I'm glad you're here.

The world gets pretty
desperate without Superman.

I'll stay as long as it takes.

Did you hear what they said
about not liking John Doe?

There were some homeless people
that were murdered

around the time of the election.

They didn't like
John Doe either.

What do you think
they have in common?

Hmm.

He'd probably have the
answer right away, wouldn't he?

I think it's phones.

They both didn't have phones

and now there's a law
against not using the phone.

So that's how Tempus
is controlling the country.

He's getting his message
out through the phone system.

Exactly.

I'll scan the phone system
for any internal abnormalities.

I'll find out how real
this inauguration thing is.

Lois?

Is this how it is
with the two of you..

...working together like this?

Yeah.

Wow.

I know what you've done,
you treasonous little bug.

You've imported that
muscle locked boy scout

from that other universe
to this one.

The power of the human
spirit cannot be confined

to one time or place.
It's everywhere.

Oh, save that drivel for
your overrated novels.

It's only a matter of time
before he scans the city

with X-ray vision
and locates me.

Anticipating that possibility

I've relocated to this
abandoned fallout shelter.

It's lined with lead.

Now get in that machine and
take that overstuffed set of tights

back where he belongs.

And what will you do
if I refuse?

- Kill me?
- You bet.

Anticipating your villainy,
I have adjusted the machine

so that only I can operate it.

Now what's going to
happen to your plan

when Superman examines
the phone system, as he will

and discovers your
fiendish alteration?

While you were anticipating
my villainy

I was anticipating
your anticipation

and began implementation
of an even more insidious plan

to spread my message.

And now that you're my captive

you won't be able to blow
the whistle on me

or use the bloody
time machine yourself.

But I'm getting bored
with you, Herb.

We seemed joined at the hip,
you and I

and when I get really
bored with someone..

Well, Mr. Secretary

I believe you're familiar
with your duties.

I am.

Hi.

'The Kents are already asleep.'

I picked up a couple things
from the market.

- What?
- Nothing.

I mean, you don't, you know

spin in and out of the suit?

Spin? Never tried that.

- Oh, is that what he does?
- Mm.

Well, maybe I'll give
it a shot sometime.

Oh, no, that's okay.

I-I mean,
it's a fine way to change.

I-I just, it's not him. I
mean, you're, you're not him.

I have to remind
myself sometimes.

Twinkies, cupcakes
and ding dongs?

Where's my brain?

I just thought..

That because he likes
those things, so would I.

Yeah.

- Anyway..
- Uh, here.

So, um..

...did you find any subliminal
message-sending device

in the phone system?

No. Whatever was there, he must
have moved some place else.

So the whole country's gonna
keep believing in this lunatic.

Did you hear anything
from H.G. Wells?

No.

So he hasn't found Clark.

Lois.

Love..

...is the only thing that keeps
people going sometimes.

It's that strong.

And right now, you have to
grab hold of that strength..

...and know that it's
gonna get you through this.

It's a lonely
world without love.

I know..

...because it's
how I live my life.

A while back, before I
became Superman in my world..

...a new friend told
me to trust in myself..

...and the power of the
goodness inside of me.

She was a pretty smart woman..

...and I believed her.

Now she has to believe me.

You sound like you've gotten
pretty smart yourself.

You helped me get there.

- Oh, this is unforgivable.
- I'm so sorry.

- Just shameful.
- I'm really sorry.

No, not you. Me.
I-I almost kissed you.

How could I almost kiss you?

- No, I almost kissed you.
- No, no, believe me...

Okay, fine, we almost kissed us.

Look, Clark, other-other Clark.

I'm in a, in a really
weird place right now.

I-I miss my husband
whom you look exactly like

and-and it wouldn't take
a lot of imagination

to pretend that you were him,
but you're not him

and I love him and you
have to understand that.

Y-yes, understood.
Completely.

Uh, but, Lois, see,
my life is that lonely thing

that I talked about a-and then
there's this weird chemistry

between you and I that
I don't really understand

but I promise you it will
never ever, ever, ever

ever happen again.

Dragon, Herb, you scamps.

I knew, given time, you'd find
something fun in common.

I, on the other hand,
have been laboring

on a way to operate
my subliminator

while bypassing
the phone system.

The subliminator's
microwave transmission

has been fed into
ordinary electrical wiring

which acts as an antenna.

- No.
- I don't understand.

There's a surprise.

Every home and business
in the US

will serve as a continually
online receiver

for what I call Tempus Think.

I refuse to believe that

something so diabolical
could be so easy.

Well, that's
the Protestant in you.

Let's wrap fish
in the constitution

and chuck all the old laws.

Would you turn that
light switch on, Herb?

Let's wrap fish
in the constitution

and chuck all the old laws.

- Why did I say that?
- Because I wanted you to.

Because the very walls
pulse with Tempus Think.

I may have succumbed
to your device

but there are others who won't.

Only two that I can think of

and that number's
about to shrink.

Trust me on this, Herb,
I'm unstoppable.

What am I doing?

'About what?'

Uh, oh.

Tempus, the country, you know.

Sorry if I disturbed you.

No. I couldn't sleep either.

If Clark can't be found
in the next 24 hours..

...he may just disappear.

You know the terrible thing
about marriage?

'You take it for granted.'

You think that that person
sleeping next to you..

...that sound they make
when they're breathing..

...you think
you'll always have that.

Lois, if there was any way
that I could get him back...

I know.

'Listen, uh..'

About that... chemistry thing..

'I think that your feelings..'

Just like it was easy for me
to confuse you with Clark..

...I think that your
feelings for me..

...are really meant for her.

'Your Lois.'

But you see,
I, I've never even met her.

She was lost on an assignment
in the Congo, so..

I just think that somehow
you're meant to be together.

You know..

...it is so much less
complicated being Superman..

...than being Clark.

That sounds like something
Clark would say.

'It's amazing how much
like him you've become.'

Well, now that we're both up..

...why don't I make
us a midnight snack?

- Ah.
- 'Lois?'

- Ah.
- 'Lois, are you alright?'

Tempus is evil.

There's no such thing
as John Doe.

- It's Tempus.
- Are you okay?

I don't know.

All of a sudden, I got
these warm fuzzy feelings

about John Doe.

It all started when you
turned on the lights.

What are you doing?

I'm following the electrical
wiring in your house.

I couldn't find any signs
of a mind control device

in the phone system

so they've obviously developed
another delivery system.

John Doe
is papa. He's finally here.

Everything he does is right.

He's sending it through
the electrical wiring.

If you could just stay tuned
into that transmission..

I could follow it back
through the power system

and find the source.

Yes. Go for it.

Okay.

What the heck.

You know, I kind of
like that spin thing.

I ordered a jumbo pepperoni,
not green peppers

and a six pack of beer.

I-I-I-I-I don't care
if you are closing.

I'm the secretary of state.

Where are you, you little worm?

Where are you?

Forgive me if I gloat.

Unconscionable little brute.

'No one can answer your call right now'

'so leave a message
when you hear the beep.'

Lois, Wells here.

I'm being held against my will

'in some sort of
underground bunker.'

Mr. Wells, what happened?

- Tempus kidnapped me.
- What?

Lois, I've critical news
for Superman.

Well, he's not here.

Oh, my, then I'll
have to come to you.

I'll be there as soon as
the time machine warms up. Ta.

Uh, ah.

So she's finally alone.

Uh, no!

Mr. Wells?

It's you.

Well, I would have preferred
hail to the chief

but everything in time.

What's he doing here?

Making America safe.

I'm clearing the streets
of terrorists.

I believe that includes you.

Mr. Wells, what are you doing?

My dear, I believe
if we knew to the second

the exact moment
of Clark's disappearance

I might be able to find him
with the time machine.

To the second?

Well, anything less

and I could miss him by
literally billions of years.

I have no idea.

There was so much going on.

I-I barely remember
what day it was.

Yes, well, there you have it.

You know, as fun as all this is

the one wild card is still
that copycat Superman of yours.

But as I recall,
he was quite fond of Lois here

'so he's probably containable.'

Probably not,
he's out there right now

finding your mind control
device.

Once that's gone,
so's your power base.

Well, you're just little
Miss Spunky, aren't you?

Garner, get in here.

You better pray
your boyfriend fails, Lois

because as bad as you think
things are now

the nightmare's
only just started.

Hi, Lois. I heard
you were visiting.

I'm not visiting.
I'm his prisoner.

Ah,
Lois, ever the funster.

Stop, my sides are splitting.

Anyway, we have here

the country's
nuclear launch codes.

What?

I gave them to John
Doe as a pal gift.

The traitor Superman
may find a way

to turn the public against
the president-elect.

'If that happens, we'll
launch a nuclear strike'

against every capital on earth.

- That true?
- Excellent.

You can't do that. The other
countries will retaliate.

The whole world
will be destroyed.

Also quite good.

If this world no longer wants me

then I no longer want it.

Let the fools be
swallowed up in flame.

I'll go rule
the alternate earth.

It's almost as nice.

Better even, for its Superman
will be trapped here.

Hero to a lifeless planet.

John Doe is papa.

Everything he does is right.

John Doe is papa.

John Doe is papa.

Well, I'll be damned.
He did it.

Does he think that's
all it takes to finish me?

All that spandex must keep
the blood from his brain.

President Garner, tell

your secret service men
to arrest him.

- Who?
- Sorry, Lois.

The subliminator's
effects won't wear off until..

Well, it's way too late.

Oh, Jonathan.

They haven't been here all day.

They weren't at the "Planet."
They never showed up.

Maybe that Tempus person
got his hands on them.

- Lois?
- Clark?

Clark.

I found the source
of Tempus' mind control.

- Where's Lois?
- Oh, dear.

- Wasn't she with you?
- No.

Maybe she left a
note or something.

The answering machine
light is on.

She might have called in.

'Lois, Wells here.'

'I'm being held against my will'

'in some sort
of underground bunker..'

- Underground?
- Maybe she's with him.

I just scanned the entire city.
There was no sign of them.

Unless, unless they're
in a place lined with lead.

Back in the '50s,
Metropolis built

a series of fallout shelters.

Those were lined with lead.

But they were abandoned
years ago.

Where can I find these shelters?

Oh, honey, we
couldn't begin to tell you.

Well, then I'd better
find someone who can.

Gee, you got into
the missile launch system

without any help at all.

Computer codes for this
century are so primitive

it's laughable.

'Why, you
look nervous, Lois.'

Contemplate your future
as a charcoal briquette.

It's soothing.

Uh-uh, Mr. Olsen, Mr. Olsen.

Mr. Olsen?

Oh, sorry. I-I keep thinking
you own the "Daily Planet."

Who can I ask to do
some research for me?

Are you kidding?
Here's how it works.

You come barreling in and say.

"Jimmy, I need so-and-so
and I need it now"

and then I drop
everything and I do it.

- Not your old self today, huh?
- Jimmy!

I need to know the location

of every fallout shelter
in the city.

Oh, is it urgent?

I got this date with this
chick just out of prison.

I think she's really hot...

Jimmy, I need those locations.
I need them right now.

You know, I liked that whole
Mr. Olsen thing a lot better.

'Tempus, don't do it.'

You still have time.
You can escape.

You could, you could go
to the alternate universe.

Where Mr. I'm So In
Shape can return me to jail?

Thank you, no.

Besides I want to kill
billions of people.

'Launch integration locked.'

And that ought to do it.

Here's the city infrastructure
from 1958 forward.

'Target sequencing locked.'

'Missile launch in 30 seconds.'

'Launch in 25 seconds.'

'Commence primary ignition.'

'Twenty, nineteen, eighteen..'

'And
on the international scene'

President-elect John Doe
is launching

an all-out nuclear attack
on targets around the world.

- What?
- Oh, great idea.

'Sixteen, fifteen..'

Alright, got them.
There's three in the area.

Thanks, Jimmy.

Nine, eight, seven..

- 'Five, four..'
- You're too late.

You need an abort code
to cancel the..

'Countdown sequence interrupted.'

Or that. You could do that.

John Doe,
you are hereby impeached.

Oh.

Oh. Oh, my God.

Superman, I did
a terrible thing.

I gave him the launch codes.

It's understandable,
Mr. President.

- It's not your fault. It's his.
- Get them out of here.

Yes, sir. Let's
go. Come on. Move it.

Superman, I..

Oh, God.

I think I'm up
for re-election again.

Thank you.
You were wonderful.

Just like I knew you would be.

Lois, I just wish that I could

do the same thing
for your Clark.

We need the exact second
the time window exploded.

- We don't have that.
- Explosion?

You mean like
in John Doe's hotel room?

Yeah. What do you know about it?

Let me go, you goon.

I tell you what, Lane.

If I scratch your back

maybe you could put in
a good word for me.

He wanted me to go out
and get a new watch for him.

He said it was stopped
by an explosion.

We must arrive at precisely
the moment I've chosen

or he's lost.

Oh, Lois.

So John Doe was a myth
created by Tempus

'an escaped criminal
and planted in your brains'

by a sophisticated method
of brainwashing.

He'll return now to prison

where he'll do
no further damage.

"Any last words, Tempus?

"Why, yes, glad you asked.

"Time you chowder-heads
all got let in on a little secret.

"This Superman of yours,
this chiseled God

is in reality Clark Kent
of the "Daily Planet."

In chess, this is where
I'd say "check."

Uh, honey.

I-I think the media
would like us to comment

on Mr. Tempus' last remark.

We regret that Mr. Tempus'
mental health has not improved.

He's obviously still delusional.

This is where
I would say "checkmate."

No, you cretins.
He is Clark Kent.

One of them
is from another dimension.

I mean, it's obvious. Duh!

Thanks for giving me a
world to come home to.

Thanks for giving me
a legend to live up to.

Can't tell you
how grateful I am.

The two of you
have been wonderful.

So were you.

We really must be going.

You are the luckiest man alive.

I know.

If my Lois had lived, my
world would be a better place.

Especially for me.

I've been meaning to ask you.

She was lost in the Congo
before you two even met?

Which is strange, you know

missing someone that
you've never even met.

I tried to find her, but..

...it's impossible.

My boy, I never say impossible.

Oh, I don't think
I'm ever letting go.

I hope you don't.

You know... he's right.

I am the luckiest man alive.
