All language subtitles for Adventures of Superman S02E19 Perry Whites Scoop

Faster than a speeding bullet.

More powerful than a locomotive.

Able to leap tall buildings
at a single bound.

- Look. up in the sky.
-lt's a bird.

- It's a plane.
-lt's Superman!

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.

White speaking. Yes?

No. no. Mr. Jones!

Handle that assignment
the way I told you to handle it!

You reporters all make
the same mistakes.

You refuse to take orders.
No imagination.

You don't think when you have a problem
to work out or a tough spot to get out of!

Yes. chief.

All this depending on Superman for help.

- In my day. when I was a reporter--
- And you were a good one.

Well. let me tell you this.
I always saw a story through.

- Mr. White!
- What do you mean. barging in here?

- Right in front of the Planet--
- Did you hear me?

A man was shot, downstairs. right now.
In front of the Planet building.

- Who was shot?
- A man in a diver's suit.

A man in a diver's suit.
He's losing his mind.

Dr. Johnson's working
on him in First Aid.

First Aid? Come on. get--

Olsen. go down to the press-room.
tell them to hold page one.

- Can he be cut out of that outfit?
- I’m afraid it's no use.

Qui... Quincy.

Quincy. We've got it.
Go on. man. Go on.

Qui--

Gosh. Mr. White. why don't
you let me handle the story?

A diver mysteriously murdered in the city.
no water for miles around.

That's the sort of assignment
I always wanted.

- First Aid Room.
- I guess this is another break for Mr. Kent.

Johnson? This is White.
Have you searched the diver's effects?

What about the diving suit?
Any label?

Give me that pencil.

Yeah. Give it to me.

Inshore Diving Equipment Company.

- Thanks.
- Please. chief.

I mean. Mr. White. This is a real mystery.
That's why--

That's why I’m gonna
handle this story myself!

It’ll get a scoop without
the aid of Superman.

And it'll give me a chance to teach some
of my reporters how to go after a story.

Starting with you.

I guess you don't type as fast
as you used to. huh. chief?

Maybe not as fast.
but just as good.

And don't call me “chief.“

Here's the early edition. chief.
hot off the press.

It's got your story in it.

- But. Mr. White. sir. I don't get it.
- You don't get what?

It's written in clear.
concise newspaper style.

- Any idiot could understand it.
- This part. right here:

“The man. before his death.
made startling...

...and important disclosures to Perry White.
editor of the Daily Planet.“

- Well?
- Well. did he?

- He said “Quincy.“
- That's a startling and important disclosure?

In itself. no. But the killer or killers
don't know what the poor devil said.

All they know is what they read
in the paper. and I write the paper.

Then it's a deliberate fake!

Certainly. The killers are probably worried
sick right now about how much I know.

That's what will make them come to us.

And right now we're gonna
put a little more cheese in that trap.

You and I are going to the
Inshore Diving Equipment Company...

-...and rent us a diving suit.
- A diving suit?

They're liable to come to us the way
they came to that diver:

- With bullets.
- You're right, son. You're learning fast.

I tell you. Perry White rented
a diving suit from the same company.

I trailed him there.

That diver must have talked.

Now. listen to me. I was right in getting
rid of that guy. you agreed to that.

Now. why say no to getting rid
of this newspaperman? Why?

Max. there is a difference
between an unknown diver...

...and the editor of the Daily Planet.

I tell you. we cannot risk it.

Do you want us to sit back and do nothing
when we might be facing the electric chair?

Please believe me. my way is best.

John DeVries was killed
while resisting arrest...

...because he delayed long enough
to hide the information for me.

The diver was next.

I am superstitious. Max.

Three is bad luck.

Believe me. Maria. if we stall anymore...

...Bingham and Lynch are gonna
get to the hiding place first.

DeVries loved you, Maria--

Never mention John and myself together.
I've told you this.

As far as Lynch and Bingham
are concerned...

...well. at least we know
where the secret is.

We are still one jump ahead of them.

Oh. Max. My Max.
You do love violence so.

But believe me. patience is still
the best weapon of them all.

And then they took the diver's suit
back to the paper.

So Max Kruger followed
the editor who wrote this story.

You were wise to watch Max. Bingham.

Poor Max. always too quick
on the trigger.

We have our first lead. Bingham.

I think Max and Maria
have finally made a mistake.

But they're not gonna tell us anything.
What are we gonna do?

Well. they won't.
but maybe this Perry White will.

I don't think you ought to do this. chief.
Remember what happened to that diver.

Don't be ridiculous. Olsen.

If you want a story.
you've got to go out and get it.

- Olsen. now. where's that helmet?
- Coming right up. chief.

Oh. it seems to be a little bent. though.

I could never get that thing
over my head.

Oh. I don't know.

Olsen. take it to the shop
and have them straighten it.

Take the whole thing to get it fitted.

Let me do it. chief. I'll have it fixed
in a jiffy. Let me help you off with that.

Now. the police are convinced
the gunman does not know who hired him.

He got his instructions over the phone.
So I suppose we're up a blind alley.

By the way. how did Superman
get that diving suit?

I gave it to you just five minutes
before the shooting.

Oh. well. chief. you know
how Superman gets around.

He took the matter
right out of my hands.

Now. let's think. Think of what
the diver said. “Quincy.“

What's diving got to do with Quincy?

Well. what does Quincy
mean to any of you?

Just a phone exchange. Quincy 1-2-3-4
and so forth. Right?

Exactly right.

And because you came up with it.
Lois. the assignment is yours.

What assignment?

Here's where years of experience
pay off.

Now. we know that Quincy
is a phone district. right?

We call the phone company
and find out the area of that district.

Then you. bearing in mind the fact
that diving was connected with Quincy...

...make a list of every possible place
where a diver could be used in that area.

- Understood?
- Right.

- Kent. you and Olsen stand by.
- Yes. sir.

In your office.

So again you had to use violence.

TO USE YOU! gunman--

Well. we couldn't let that editor
get any closer.

But he is still alive. is he not?

Now we not only have him to worry about.
but Superman as well.

Yeah. Yeah. I know.

L've made 8 million phone calls.
I've studied 20 million city maps.

The nearest reservoir
is 10 miles away. No lakes in the park.

The piping in the sewer system
is too narrow to permit a diver.

No records of any old cisterns
or wells of any appreciable size.

In other words, a big fat blank.

Blanks. blanks. I can't print blanks.

Now. take it easy. chief.
She's had quite a workout today.

A workout? That's one you've overlooked.
A workout. A gym.

A pool. water. A swimming pool.

Yes! And Quincy fits in too. chief.
There's a Quincy Athletic Club.

It's got everything.
lt's got a gym. pool and so forth.

Fine. And this time you'll have a chance
to see a real reporter in action. Kent.

We're gonna take a reducing course.

Well. here we are.

Hey. you can use a workout.

Been sitting around too much.
gotta get out and get some exercise.

You fellas loosen up a bit.
I'll be back in a minute.

- Yes. sir. is it all right to use this bag?
- Sure. go right ahead.

Thank you. Oh. I’m terribly sorry.

Well. you sure put that
out of commission.

Well. it's an old bag. Maybe...

- Maybe the canvas is rotten.
- Yeah.

Swimming. now. there's a sport I like.

That door's locked.
The pool's empty. we're getting it cleaned.

Oh. I see.

- We've got to get in there.
- I know. Watch the door.

Lynch? I’m downstairs in the gymnasiums.
Get down here right away.

Chief.

- Well?
- He was right, the pool's empty.

I couldn't find a thing.

I brought you a visitor, gentlemen.

Well. you're most accommodating.
Mr. White.

Though we'd have preferred it
had you come alone.

I think you owe us
an explanation, Mr...?

Oh. my name isn't important. Mr. White.

Just let's say somebody got desperate
and a man was killed.

Like a diver perhaps?

Your reporter's smart, Mr. White.
His deduction is correct.

They killed him to protect
certain information.

We intend to obtain
the same information.

- And if we have to kill to get it--
- That won't be necessary. Bingham.

Mr. White's a cooperative man.
I am sure.

He'll tell us. and right now.
what the diver spilled to him.

I have nothing to. as you say. spill.

Well. Bingham. help the gentlemen
into the cabinets.

All right. fatso. come on.

You too. Mr. Kent.

Gentlemen. we haven't much time.
and we want the answer.

I don't know. I can't tell you
what I don't know.

Let me have him.
He'll chatter like a magpie.

You heard him.
the diver told him nothing.

Maybe he's right. Maybe the diver
didn't get a chance to--

Bingham. the diver must
have stumbled across something.

Max and Maria must know.
or they wouldn't risk killing him.

We're wasting time.
We'll find where the stuff is from Max.

Well. what about these two?

Oh. yes. they're dangerous things.
these cabinets.

Sometimes the attendant forgets
and goes away.

Turn them up full.

You'll be well done. fatso.
by the time you get out of here.

There we go.

Here you are. chief.

Thanks. Kent. I must have fainted.

- I'm all right now.
- Good.

- How did you...?
- Well. that old steam cabinet...

...couldn't take it any more than you could.
Here. I'll give you another glass of water.

- L've got it.
- You got it?

- L've got it.
- What?

The water cooler. The diver.

What? The diver?
In the water cooler?

That steam must have poached you
more than I thought.

Now you listen to me. Kent.

The water supply on top.
like the water supply in this water cooler...

...runs down into the cup.

To fill this pool in there. there could be
a water tank on top of this building.

Of course. a water tank.
Why didn't I think of that?

- Let's go take a look at it.
- I told you I was a better reporter than you.

Let's call Olsen.

Jimmy. go see if you can
spot anything inside.

Yes. sir.

It's full. Mr. White.

What we're looking for
is probably on the bottom.

Well. don't stand up there doing nothing.
go downstairs and turn on the pool release.

That'll give it a chance to drain.

Then Olsen can go up again
and take another look.

Downstairs. I said.

Max. Max. answer that.
See who it is.

Well. you have guests, Maria.

- And welcome ones. I hope.
- Welcome as the plague.

Oh. come. come. Maria.
at least be sociable.

DeVries didn't like me either...

...but we always had a very pleasant
business association.

That's why he left
the last shipment for me.

Yes. but I don't think
you'll find it, ever.

Get out of here!

You are wasting your time.
Get out.

Well. first a few facts. Maria.

John DeVries gave me a sort of...

Well. a sort of verbal option
on the stuff.

When he was foolish enough to run afoul
of the police and resist arrest. he was killed.

This is regrettable, but. well.
these things do happen.

What doesn't happen. however.
Is my finding myself cut out by you.

- For the last time, where is it?
-l'll never tell you that.

You know that. Lynch.

L... I believe you, Maria.

But I wouldn't count on Max.

Lynch. Lynch, we have no time to waste.

If I talk. if I’m willing to split with you.
will that satisfy you?

But of course, Maria. You can trust me.
You know. honor among thieves.

Lynch. we have no time to joke.
Look. Look over there.

They got out of the cabinets.
Let's have it.

- What does that tank to do with it?
-lt's inside the tank, Lynch.

Just before the police closed in on John.
he phoned me.

He tried to tell me.
he did not have the time.

All I heard was. “On the club.
on the roof. inside the tank.“

That's why Maria took this apartment.
to keep an eye on the tank.

- That's why you hired the diver.
- We planned to smuggle him up there...

...but he heard too much
and got frightened.

L've got to know.
What did John DeVries put in that tank?

That's what we must find out.

Unless they find out first.

There's 2 feet of water left, Mr. White.
but it's going down slowly.

Go on. get in. Get in!

- Like this?
- Water never hurt an old-time reporter.

You'll dry.

It's cold!

- I can't see a thing.
- Well. move around a little. Move around.

Gosh. it's slippery in here.

Yes siree. chief. that young reporter
is sure learning fast.

- Did you find anything?
- Just a load of moss. not much else.

Jimmy. you handled that
just like a veteran.

- Tell me. can you type underwater?
- Hey. look!

It's a goldfish. in my--

For heaven's sake. a goldfish.
Throw it back. Throw it back.

- It's got a band around it.
- So it's a pedigreed fish.

Wait a minute. chief.
I never heard of a banded goldfish.

The only fish they band
are game fish. like trout.

What's a goldfish doing
in that water tank anyway?

- Can you get the band off, Jimmy?
- Oh. I think so. Here. wait a minute.

They've found the large goldfish
John had in the aquarium.

John was smart, Maria.

No wonder we could never find anything
when we searched his apartment.

But exactly how did he hide the secret?

Look. there's some writing on it.

“W-S-K-L-l-K-H-S-F...“

-it looks like it's code of some sort.
- Let me see it. Jimmy.

Codes used to be a hobby of mine.
This should be a cinch to unscramble.

It says. “Car 763792. east yard.“

- Must be the railway yard.
- The railroad yards. Good.

Kent. I wanna scoop every paper
in town on this.

Go back to the office
and write up what's happened.

- We'll meet you at the yards later.
- Wait just a minute.

What if the potshotters
and gym characters come back?

- We'll take care of them. won't we?
- Oh. sure. we can handle it.

Come on. you can dry off
down in the gym.

They found something
and are rushing away.

- Quick. we've gotta follow their car.
- Yes. yes. yes.

Bring him along.

763792.

That's it, boy.

Quick. open it up.

- Look. chief.
- What's that?

- Why. it's only paper.
- Nobody would kill for that.

Take another look. Mr. White.

Look closer. Mr. White.

You see the threads running through it?
They're silk threads.

You're looking at the finest bank-note paper
ever made outside of Washington.

Just how many $20 bills
do you suppose all this will make?

So you're counterfeiters.

And if you've got good plates.
this paper is worth millions.

Worth a lot of trouble. Mr. White.
All right. let's get started.

You too. gentlemen.

Hurry up. Clark. hurry up.
I want to see what they've found.

We're on our way.

- Max got the last one.
- Very well.

Gentlemen. will you step inside the car?

- You too. Max.
- You heard him.

Bingham. get the gasoline can
out of the car.

You won't mind joining them. Maria.

Well. don't be surprised. You heard
our friend here. “Worth millions." he said.

I'm afraid Bingham and I
are a bit greedy.

I should have known it.

- What do you wanna do with it?
- Empty that can in the car.

You're not gonna leave them
in there that way?

They'll never point at us in a courtroom.
Come on. get the paper in the car.

Help! Help! Let us out! Let us out!

Help! Let us out!

Let us out! Help! Let us out!

Oh. it's no use. it's no use.
The gasoline is everywhere.

It's those two from the gym.
You stay here.

- Help! Help! Please let us out.
- Lois. you better get help!

He won't bother us anymore.
Get the rest of the paper.

Help! Help! Let us out! Let us out!

Help! Let us out!

Help! Help!

Superman!

Nice going. Jimmy.
I couldn't have done better myself.

Gosh. thanks. Superman.

I told you I'd make you
an old-time reporter.

Me. an old-timer?
Gosh. I’m only a cub reporter.

- Superman. will you do me a great favor?
- Most certainly.

Don't let Clark Kent know
I had to depend on you to save us.

Well. don't worry. Mr. White.
He'll never learn about it from me.
