And the nominees for the Excalibur Award

for Outstanding Investigative
Journalism are Patrice Bandi,

for her article
on illegal drug traffic.

Mike Hart for his exposé on diet fraud.

Julian Frey for his piece,
No Profit Like Nonprofit.

Good luck, Julian.

[presenter] And Lois Lane
for Lex-Scam: Nuclear Danger.

You, too, my dear.

- And the award goes to...
- [drum roll]

[presenter] Lois Lane.

Lois, go up.

[buzzing in distance]

- Did you hear that?
- Yes, I can hardly believe it, either.

As if her ego
weren't big enough already.

Ladies and gentlemen
of the Metropolis Press, colleagues,

I'd like to thank the Excalibur
Committee for nominating my work.

I would also like to thank the members
of the Daily Planet Editorial Department

and the entire support staff
for their invaluable help locating

and compiling the data for this article.

I would also like to congratulate
my fellow nominees.

Oh, please.

Oops. Better go wash this out
before it stains.

[Lois] When corruption or waste or fraud
is uncovered, we all win.

Thank you, all. I will treasure--

[gasps]

- [man 1] What's going on?
- [man 2] I think she's all right.

[man 3] How did that happen?

- [Bowman] Some kind of electro-gizmo.
- It looks like it's got a--

When did you join the force?
This is police business.

When we have information, you'll get it
along with all the other reporters.

I'm not just one of the other reporters.

This was an attempt on my life,
you know.

You really want to be helpful?

Try making a list of all the people
who might wanna see you dead...

and try to keep it to one page.

What do you think the chances are
of Bowman actually solving this case?

- What's his problem?
- Oh, about two years ago,

I wrote an exposé on police corruption.
It cost him a promotion.

- He's had it in for me ever since.
- Careful!

[truck's horn honking]

Don't worry, Kent.
I'm always in control.

If you want, I'd be happy
to stay at your apartment tonight.

- Somebody did try to kill you.
- And he failed.

Look, Kent, I'm not worried.
You shouldn't be, either.

[man on radio]
And now, a very special request.

Is there anything else on?

Paldoverdi's version of
"You Win, You Die."

- It won't change.
- Dedicated to Lois Lane.

Yes, Lois, you.

What a shame that an innocent party
like Mr. Kent must also suffer...

but you never were one
to let an innocent stand in your way.

- What are you doing?
- Getting us out of here.

[Clark] Whoa!

Clark! Clark!

[man on radio] Oh, no, you don't, Lois.

- Are you all right?
- Yes, but Clark--

He's fine.
I was able to cushion his fall.

A little something
for your insurance agent.

- [Lois] Arm still hurting?
- [Clark] About the same as yesterday.

I still think we should have taken it
to the police first.

Oh, yeah. I'm sure Detective Bowman
won't rest until he finds out

where this came from.

At least I know
Edward Lytener will be helpful.

- Yes, yes. What is it?
- Oh, yes. Very helpful, I'm sure.

It's me, Eddie. Lois.

Lois. Lois Lane. Of course. Of course.

I wouldn't. Ten gigawatts.
Real nasty shock.

- I'm sorry to bother you like this.
- No bother.

I've been in this lab 24 hours straight
without looking up.

I could use the break, and the company.

The circuit patterns are like what
they're working on over at LexCorp R&D.

- [Clark] How do you know that?
- Eddie used to work for Luthor.

He was my informant
on the Lex-Scam article.

- By the way, Lois, congratulations.
- Yeah, thanks.

Hello. What's this?

[Lois] "LC."

It's from LexCorp, all right. Somebody
there must have it in for you, Lois.

Another in a long line
of killing machines.

It's not as much fun
when you're on the receiving end.

I heard about the regrettable incident
at the Excalibur Awards.

Yes, and this little goodie
was in my car.

I have evidence
it was manufactured here, at LexCorp.

Really, Lois.
I wouldn't leave so blatant a trail

even if I were out to get you.

- And you're not?
- No. Why would I be?

I respect you and what you do,

even when you're taking potshots
at my company.

- But the device--
- This disturbs me as much as you.

If it came from LexCorp, I'll find out
how it ended up in your car.

I promise. Trust me, Lois.

Trust him? Why would you do that?

He's trying to keep you
from nosing around LexCorp.

Probably. But I believed him
when he said he wasn't behind it.

The way this assassin
keeps warning me...

it's like he wants me to suffer first.
That's weird, but it's not Lex.

Lois, my dear. Perry has just handed me
some of your overdue assignments.

- What?
- He was worried you'd fall behind.

I certainly hope I can come up
to your award-winning standards.

I'm sure you will.

Great.

[man over speaker]
You're not safe, Lois.

Not outside, not in your car.
Not even here at work.

I'll give you exactly one minute
to prepare to meet your maker.

Ah, ah, ah.

[gasps]

[gasps]

[elevator beeping]

[yells]

I believe this is your floor.

I'm not having a good day.

[groans]

[gasps]

[grunting]

[gasping]

[screams]

[gasps]

I just hate this. I can't sleep,
I can't eat. I feel so helpless.

- Why don't you just relax?
- I can't relax.

I should be out there doing something,
not sitting here,

wondering what everybody else
is up to. It feels wrong.

Why? Let other people
take the risks for you for a change.

The world can get by
without Lois Lane for a couple of days.

Yeah, just enough time for Julian
to steal all my stories and my byline.

Oh, by the way, Angela Chen called.

She heard about your award
on the news last night

- and wanted to congratulate you.
- On the news, huh?

You know, Clark, maybe you're right.

- Let everyone else take care of things.
- That's the spirit.

In fact, I think I'll go relax
in a nice, hot bath.

Right now. See you.

[policeman] I got a couple more hours.
But my shift will be over by 10.

- Maybe we could get together.
- [girl] Okay.

If we put our heads together,
we could figure out who's behind this.

Of course, I hate to be taking you
away from your work again.

Not at all, Lois.
I'm happy to help in any way I can.

By the way, what were you working on
so hard the other night?

Shh. Top-secret.

You certainly have the most
amazing collection of gadgets...

- but no TV, no radio?
- Never.

They're a wasteland
of call-in drivel and news trivia.

It would just break my concentra--

What is it?

- You know, don't you?
- Know what?

[Lytener growls]

Tell me, Lois.
How did you figure it out?

You congratulated me
on my award, remember?

If you were cooped up in this lab
all night with no TV, no radio,

then how did you know
I'd won the Excalibur?

Such a clever girl.

[telephone rings]

- Hello?

- Kent.

I was hoping to speak to Lois.

- She's not here.
- Then take a note.

I've traced the materials
she was asking about.

It was part of a lot that went missing
from inventory,

right after her little snitch, Lytener,
was fired.

Did you get that, Kent? Hello?

Hello?

Eddie, why are you doing this?
What have I ever done to you?

That's just it.
You never did anything for me...

and I risked it all.

My job, my reputation, my research.
I knew what'd happen if Lex found out.

You blew the whistle
because it was the right thing.

Wrong. I blew the whistle
because I wanted you to notice me.

You didn't. But you will now.

Daddy was a black belt.

You're an unusual woman, Lois.
That's why I've taken unusual measures.

A trap I designed for your apartment.
You wouldn't have been safe anywhere.

Superman!

[Superman yells]

[Lytener] I was expecting you
to show up.

After all, if Lois Lane is in danger,
can Superman be far behind?

Let her out of there, Lytener!

You're in no position
to make demands, Superman.

Let her out or I'll--

[grunting]

This is my favorite invention.
A project I began at Lexlabs, actually.

It's powered by the solar energy
spectrum of a red sun.

[screams]

That's why the punches pack
such a wallop.

Particularly for you, Superman.

[grunting]

[grunting]

[screams]

Superman! The controls!

- Are you okay?
- A little extra-crispy,

but otherwise fine.

Tell me something.

How do you always manage to arrive
just in the nick of time?

- It's a gift.
- You wouldn't be keeping

an eye on me, or anything?

Well... some people need
more watching than others.

Thanks.

Someday, it'd be nice to see you
when I wasn't about to be killed.

Someday.
