All language subtitles for Lois & Clark S02E01

So, can I assume
the operation was a
success?

Well, as you know,
cosmetic surgery is more an
art

than a science, but I think

you'll be quite pleased,
Mrs. Luthor.

I haven't been Mrs.
Luthor
for ten years.

Don't ever call me that again.

I'm Arianna Carlin.

Of course.

I'm going to remove
the bandages now.

Please remain still.

'Now, your skin will feel hot'

'as it becomes
exposed to the air'

'but that's normal.'

'Remarkable, isn't it?'

'Our own Lois Lane.'

Once the hair is dyed,
even her mother

won't be able
to tell them apart.

Dr. Heller, you're brilliant.

The world will truly miss you.

(man on radio)
'Okay, we're back and
we're talking to Harold'

'about this growing controversy
regarding Superman's presence'

'in Metropolis.'

What do you think, Harold?'

(Harold)
'Lex Luthor, a great man'

'would be alive today,
if Superman had done his job.'

- Hey, Joe!
- Yeah.

- Ah!
- Hey!

- A-ah!
- Sorry!

- Look, over there!
- Ah! Ah!

(all)
Superman!

Oh, yeah. A-ah!

- Whoa.
- It's Superman.

- You okay?
- Yeah, thanks.

(male #1)
'Well, isn't this just
dandy?'

Superman saves the day again.

- Is there a problem?
- Yeah. You.

What, are you nuts?
Superman's the
greatest.

Oh, yeah? If he's so great then
why didn't he save Lex Luthor?

- I wanted to--
- Wanted to?

Wanted to is not good enough.

'Lex Luthor did a lot of good
for this city'

'and you let him die.'

There's more to it
than you know

but believe me,
I didn't want him to die.

Why should I believe you?

You're nothing but a
freak
in a blue suit.

You know what I think?
You save who you wanna save.

You call yourself Superman?

I think you think
you're super God.

(male #2)
'The guy's got a point here.'

I hope so..

It would be nice
if you're going to use the
cream

to put it back in the
refrigerator when you're
done

because if you
don't,
then it spoils

and then we..

I'm...sorry.

If you ask me, Superman just
isn't the hero he used to be.

I mean, Lex Luthor
may have had his
faults

but Superman
should've saved
him.

(female #1)
'Are you nuts? Luthor was a
lowlife, scum-sucking
criminal.'

How could anybody
like...that guy?

Oh, sorry, Lois.

Morning, Lois, hey,
have you seen this
poll

in the "Star Today?"

What are you reading
this rag for, Jimmy?

No, look, it says 20%
of Metropolis is
anti-Superman.

What is wrong with people?

'You know what's really weird'

is when they asked these people
why they didn't like Superman

half of them couldn't
give a specific reason.

Oh, I swear we are witnessing
the dumbing down of America.

People with opinions
who have no idea

why they even have opinions.

What is that?

When they remodeled this place
they should've given out

an instruction manual
on this new stuff.

That's a fax coming in
over your computer.

They all have fax modems now.

It would've been nice
if somebody put out a memo.

[scoffs]
Well, they did.
Check your e-mail.

Nobody's shown me
how to retrieve my e-mail.

Well, there's a fax
on your computer explaining
it.

[chuckling]
Looks like it's rush hour

on the super
information highway.

Yeah, and I'm stuck in traffic.

- Morning.
- Hey, C.K., have you seen
this?

Hostility for Superman
seems to be a growing trend.

(Perry)
'What are you two
still doing here?'

I thought you were going out
to cover the murder

of that plastic surgeon
from Lex lab.

Uh, sorry, chief, I was a
little
late getting in this morning.

I had a pro..

A...problem...dropped on me.

Oh.

Well, as long as you're here..

...might as well
listen to this too.

'Okay, everybody. Let's gather
round and listen up here.'

I've got
an announcement to make.

As you all know,
we've been through

some pretty
difficult times recently

'and the new owner feels
that some of you might be'

suffering from stress,
you know, uh, anxiety

short fuses, et cetera.

'So, as of today'

the "Daily Planet"
now has its very own

staff psychiatrist.

What? He can't be serious.

That doesn't sound
like
such a bad idea.

Well, if you wanna sit on a
couch listening to
psychobabble

that's fine with me,
but I've got stories to work
on.

Uh, excuse me. Am I
interrupting something here?

Now, many of you already might
be familiar with this woman

'from her syndicated column'

'that we've been running called'

"Healing The..

"...Inner Self"

uh..."On The Couch."

They yanked
the jumble puzzle for that.

I was just
getting good at that.

Yeah, well, I was getting
pretty good at it myself.

I mean, I'm not so hot
on this touchy-feely stuff

so that's why
I never read the column.

But it's helping
to sell newspapers

'and the good doctor has
convinced our publisher'

that, uh, well,
she can be of some help here.

How do we even know
she's a real doctor?

Half these
media shrinks are frauds.

Oh, I'm a real doctor,
Miss Lane.

Oh, of course, I was talking
about the other half.

(Perry)
'Ah, Dr. Carlin, I was just,
uh, explaining about you'

to the, uh, staff.

I'm looking
forward
to meeting all of
you

over the next several days.

Please feel free
to stop by my office
anytime.

Okay, folks.
Let's get to it.

'We got some blank pages
to fill in.'

Okay, alright.

They're all yours.

(Ariana)
'Miss Lane.'

I'm especially looking
forward
to meeting with you.

[chuckles]
Dr. Carlin, a lot of people
have tried to get me on a
couch

and after all this time,
I don't think

I'm gonna start
with a psychiatrist.

In my experience, it's
the people who say they're
fine

that need help the most.

Excuse me.

Have work to do.

Did the police say
if Dr. Heller was murdered
here

or just dumped here?

This is just a wild guess

but is
something
bothering you?

It's that Carlin woman.

I can't believe her gall

"In my experience, it's
the people who say they're
fine

who need help the most."

Lois, she is a professional.

Maybe she knows a little bit
more about this than we do.

Nobody knows me
better than me.

And believe me, I'm fine.

Oh, is that why
you have all
those

candy bars in your desk drawer?

Those are for emergency.

In case I have some drastic
drop
in blood sugar level.

And what were you doing
in my drawers anyway?

- Uh, Lois--
- Well, look at this.

Who are these idiots?

Well, whoever they are,
they were clever enough

to create an acrostic.

- A what?
- 'An acrostic.'

It's a word or a message
subliminally hidden

in a series of lines.

In this case, the first
letter
of each one of these words

spells the word, "Stop."

Oh. Well, they're still idiots.

It's ironic, isn't it?

A doctor who makes
people look beautiful

ends up in a dumpster.

Oh.

- Excuse me.
- Hey! Wait!

We only wanna talk to you!

(male #3)
'Get me out of this thing!'

- You okay?
- Ah, uh!

Look, mister,
I don't know nothing.

- About what?
- How'd you catch him?

Uh, hey! Hey!

He got, uh..

...tired.

Look, we're reporters.

We just wanna know
if you can tell us anything

about the body that was found
in that alley?

Lois, I think some money

would be a really good
idea right about now.

- Where's your wallet?
- Your hands are free.

- Uh.
- Okay?

Okay, what did you see?

I saw two guys dumping a body.

I heard one of them
call
the other one Harry.

Except when they left,
I-I saw they wasn't
guys.

They was chicks.

Well, did you get a good look
at either one of them?

Yeah. One.

It was her.

(crowd)
Superman must go!
Superman must go!

Superman must go!
Superman must go!

Come on! Superman must go!
Superman must go!

Superman must go!
Superman must go!

- Superman must go!
- Excuse me. Excuse me.

Can you tell me, what is the
purpose of this demonstration?

We don't think the city
should be honoring Superman

especially, after
he'd let Lex Luthor die.

But what do you have
to gain from all
this?

I've always been
concerned about Superman.

Why is he so secretive?
What's he got to hide?

I was there
when Lex Luthor died.

I prayed Superman
would save him

but for some reason,
he decided not to.

I think the citizens of
Metropolis have a right to
ask

isn't Lex Luthor's blood
on Superman's hands?

Down with Superman!

(all)
Superman must go!

(all)
Superman must go!

'Superman must go!'

'Superman must go!'

'Superman must go!
Superman must go!'

- How did I do?
- How'd you do?

- Uh.
- See what you just did?

You used your left hand
to protect yourself.

And in front of the cameras,
you used your left hand

to push your hair back.

How many times do I have to
tell
you Lois Lane is right-handed?

Sorry.

For what I'm paying you
sorry is not acceptable.

It won't happen again.

Well, it better not.
For your own sake.

Superman must go!
Superman must go!

People are so easily
manipulated.

And this is just the beginning.

By the time I'm finished

Metropolis will be torn apart.

Lois lane and
Superman will wish

they had never
betrayed Lex Luthor.

- Did you get my order in?
- Definitely.

I'm still getting
the bulk discount, right?

Oh, sure. By the way,
I'm with you 100%.

Go get 'em.

Uh, yeah.

Well..

- Mm-hmm.
- Ahem.

- Clark, do I look okay to
you?
- 'You might hurry.'

Always. Why?

People are
looking at me funny.

Have a little paranoia with
your coffee this morning,
Lois?

No, don't start.

Where were you last night?
I called you a couple times.

Down at the police station.

I stayed there while
the detectives
interviewed

that homeless guy.

And what, am I on my way
to the big house?

No, but this young rookie cop

did ask for your phone number.

I'm only interested
in one man in blue.

Oh.

What?

What's going on?

Did I grow a second head
or something?

I just want you to know

what you did took a lot of guts.

Lois, what in
the Sam Hill was that stunt

you pulled last night?

Our publisher's been
all over me like a bad rash.

I don't know what
you're
talking about, chief.

I'm talking about your
virtuoso
performance on the late news.

You were on the news?

You know, if you have
an opinion to express

you might consider using
our editorial page.

I wasn't on the news.

Are you saying you weren't
at that anti-Superman

demonstration last night?

What? Of course, not.

I was home eating
chocolate,
cottage cheese

chocolate-flavore
d
cottage cheese.

It's a new fla..
I was doing my
laundry.

Lois...you come with me, dear.

I think the citizens of
Metropolis have a right to
ask

isn't Lex Luthor's blood
on Superman's hands?

Now, I could be wrong.

I mean, I've only
worked with you

for about five years,
but I'm seeing

some remarkable
similarities here.

That's not me.

It's some kind of sick joke.

[chuckles]
And, Clark..

(Ariana)
'It's no joke, Lois.'

It's a cry for help.

What you're demonstrating are
signs of post-traumatic stress

'short-term memory loss,
erratic behavior.'

But I can help,
if you'll let me.

[chuckles]
No, thank you.

Now, Lois, you know I'm not
one to meddle in the lives

of my reporters,
but I would strongly suggest

that you take the good doctor
up on her offer.

- Perry--
- Lois, maybe he's right.

Well, I can't.

We have to attend
Lex's will-reading.

It's part of our series
on the breakup of LexCorp.

Yeah, but that's not
till this afternoon.

That gives you plenty of time

to have a nice little chat
with Dr. Carlin.

Lois, go ahead. I'll meet you
back here in a couple hours.

Come on, son.

- Hi, dad.
- Oh!

Oh, Clark.

- Sorry.
- No.

Give me a little warning
next time, would you, son,
huh?

So, when do we start blaming
my parents for everything?

[chuckles]
Maybe later.

Right now, it might help
if we talked about

'what's been happening in
your life the past few
months.'

You must admit
you have been under..

Heavy emotional stress.

And after what she did
on television last night,
I--

- Umm.
- Here, dad.

(Jonathan)
'Yeah, thanks.
I'm not a doctor, son.'

'But can a person be
under so much stress that..'

I'd forget I was on
television?
I don't think so.

Lois, you can't ignore what
took place on your wedding day.

The events surrounding
Lex Luthor..

Really affected her, but
she's too stubborn to admit
it.

You just keep on being
patient and understanding.

- She'll come through it.
- Yeah, but...when?

Behavior like yours could

if left untreated, turn violent.

'Tell me...have you
had the desire'

to strike out
at anybody recently?

The only desire I've had
lately is for, um..

...double fudge crunch bars.

I'm not hungry.

I've been so worried
about Lois lately.

I haven't had
much of an appetite.

Well, at least she's working
with this Dr. Carlin now.

That's a start.

See, I guess it all started
with Lex's proposal.

'It was the last thing
I expected.'

And then
the "Planet" was destroyed.

I wasn't sleeping much.

And then Clark decided
to tell me he loved me.

I was desperate to stop her
from marrying Lex

but it didn't work.

And then when he suddenly
changed his mind

and told me he didn't love me

well, that combined
with everything else.

What's your relationship
with Clark now?

Well, for a second, I thought
there might be something

between us, but..

I guess we're best friends

and I would never do anything
to jeopardize that.

But you lied to her
about your true feelings.

Well, I-I crossed my fingers
when I did it.

Why did you lie to her at all?

Because I know the only
person she's in love with..

...is Superman.

So, you never loved Lex?

I was attracted to his power

and to what I thought
was a great
humanitarian

'but, uh..'

No, I never loved Lex.

Have you ever loved someone

and knew you'd loved them
your entire life

whether or not they ever
loved you in return?

Once.

I loved him as much as
any woman could love a man..

'...and even though
he divorced me'

I still love him to this day.

So, you understand my feelings
for Superman?

Oh, yes.
Very much so.

What's the story?

Off the record,
she's got a lot of problems.

I'm afraid we're gonna
see things get worse

before they get better.

"And to the Metropolis
arts council

"Mr. Luthor bequeaths
the sum of $50,000.

'"To the metropolis
children's summer camp'

'"Mr. Luthor has left
the sum of $25,000'

'"to be distributed as seen fit'

'by the camp's
board of directors."'

Did I miss anything?

'"The will instructs that'

"the Metropolis
summer music fair

receive the sum of--"

How was your session
with Dr. Carlin?

How do you think?

Sitting on a couch,
telling a complete stranger

my most private thoughts?

Well, maybe I got
a few things off my chest.

[chuckles
]
Yeah?

Anyway, it's over.
Now, I'm fine.

Ah. Quick healer.

'"...and the proceeds will
go to ACL Corporation'

"which administers a special
annuity for his ex-wife

"Mrs. A.C. Luthor.

'"A scholarship in Mr.
Luthor's
name will be established'

'to reward those who uphold the
high ideals that he stood for."'

- Are you okay?
- '"Mr. Luthor has also
set..'

I can't believe it.

He never said a word about..

- That lying, no good, but--
- Shh! Lois.

He was married, Clark.

All those times he told me
I was his first true love.

Lois, maybe we should
just try to find her.

She may know something about the
disappearance of Luthor's body.

Yeah, I'd like
to meet the woman

that said "I do" before I did.

Almost did..

Didn't.

- Let's go.
- Yeah.

- I'd like to see him.
- Of course.

- How is he, Gretchen?
- 'Better.'

The brain waves have stabilized.

Tomorrow, I'll begin
a mild stimulation

to initiate regeneration.

He always said you were
the best physician he ever
had.

I can't tell you
how comforting it is

to have you caring for him.

Well...it's a labor of love.

He's very special to me.

Hello, Lex.

It's Ari.

We got into your penthouse.

I have the kryptonite.

It won't be long now.

Be well, darling.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Any luck on your search
for ACL Corporation?

Nothing.
It's not listed anywhere.

Now, Luthor's lawyer won't
return my phone call. You?

I spent three hours
at the bureau

of vital statistics yesterday.

There's no marriage
certificate on Lex

in this state or any other.

[sighs]
Jimmy, did you find anything
on Luthor's marriage?

You bet I did.

Turns out he was married
on a ship in the
Caribbean.

I found this wedding
announcement that ran

in the "Planet"
ten years ago.

No picture, no maiden name.

Yeah, I know, but I'm
gonna try to track down

that ship's captain.

- Lois Lane!
- Yeah?

Detective Ryder,
Metropolis PD.

You wanna tell me
where you were last night

around 1 o'clock?

I was home asleep. Why?

Well, can anyone verify that?

No, of course, not.
I sleep alone.

By choice.

What's this about, detective?

At 1:00 a.m. last night,
a guard was assaulted

outside Lex Luthor's
penthouse by a woman

he's identified as Miss Lane.

Well, that's ridiculous.

This picture was taken
by a security camera

outside the penthouse.

'As far as we can make out,
the only item taken'

'was an engagement ring,
Mr. Luthor had given Miss
Lane'

'worth a-half-a-million
dollars.'

- Ms. Lane, you're under
arrest.
- 'What?'

For aggravated assault

breaking and entering,
and grand theft.

(male #4)
'Down with Superman!
Superman must go!'

Now, this resentment of
Superman's getting out of
hand.

What these people need
is a good swift kick--

Thanks for bailing me
out so fast.

Another minute,
I would have been judging

a best tattoo contest.

So, any idea
who's setting me up?

[scoffs]
Wait a minute.

You don't actually think
I did these things.

Lois, we're not exactly
sure
what to believe right
now.

Well, let me help you!

There is someone out there
who looks like me

who is trying
to ruin my life.

Ah, now, Lois, I've had
a little talk with Dr. Carlin

and I think the best thing
for you right now

is to go home,
get a little rest.

- I can't believe you two.
- Lois.

I want you to take
the rest of the week off.

And I want you to schedule
an appointment with Dr.
Carlin.

Now, is that clear?

I have to go
sign
for my purse.

- I'm worried about her,
chief.
- Yeah, me too.

See she gets home okay.

I'll see you
back at the "Planet."

So what are you gonna do
with all this free time?

Well, learn piano

maybe work on my tan.

Or I might try finding
out
who's setting me up.

Now, are you gonna help me or am
I gonna have to do this alone?

Lois, it's not that
I don't wanna help you.

- It's just that--
- Just what? Clark.

Can't you see that some strange
things have been happening?

I am arrested for a
crime
I did not commit.

People are suddenly at each
other's throats over
Superman.

A plastic surgeon who used to
work at Lex labs is murdered.

Now, I can't prove that
all these things are
connected

but my reporter's
instinct
says something's up.

What does your instinct say?

My instincts say..

[sighs]
...never argue with a woman
who's just been behind the
bars.

- What do you wanna do?
- Okay.

If there's a woman out
there
who looks like me

and we know there is
because there's no
other

rational explanation,
so don't bother arguing with
me

she must have had
a plastic surgery.

And what famous plastic surgeon
has been in the news?

- Dr. Heller.
- Yes.

And according to
that homeless guy

Dr. Heller was
killed by
somebody

who looked exactly like me.

Only we both know it
couldn't
have been me, could it?

Don't answer that,
rhetorical question.
So..

So, maybe we should stop by
the dead doctor's office

and see who some of his more
recent patients have been.

You still think I'm crazy?

I think you're brilliant.

But there is a fine line
between brilliance and lunacy.

If the mob endorsed a
gun,
that'd be it.

It'll stop
whatever
you're aiming
at.

Super. I'll take it.

Okay.

Sign the license.

Now, smile pretty
for the government.

Do we even know where
Dr. Heller's office is?

No. Maybe it's
in
the phone book.

- Why did you just do that?
- 'What?'

You stuck your finger
in the coin return.

Well, what's the big deal? It's
just a habit. Everybody does it.

- Do you always do it?
- I don't know.

Maybe. Why?

I just think it's interesting.

You're a well-paid professional.

Why do you feel like you have
to look for loose change?

Not everything a person
does
has some hidden meaning.

Sometimes a cigar
is just a cigar.

(Clark)
'Great, the page
with Dr. Heller's address'

'is torn out of the phone book.'

Yeah, well, maybe
it's in the white pages.

You know, I don't
think people realize

just how inconsiderate it is

to, like, rip pages out
of a public phone book.

Here it is.

- Come on.
- Uh, ah, uh.

Taxi!

Uh, I can't believe
he ignored me like that.

'Taxi!'

'Taxi!'

Well, he must have
superhearing.

Lois, how exactly are we gonna
get into Dr. Heller's office

and look at his records?

I mean, that information
is confidential.

It's not gonna be
that hard, Clark.

I'll just ask to see my file.

Oh, I'm sorry.
The office is
closed.

- I just need my file.
- Oh, yeah.

I don't know if you
heard,
but Dr. Heller died

so we're moving
everything into
storage.

That's why I need my file.
See, this is my new doctor.

And he needs to look it over
for medical reasons.

My patient is suffering
some side effects

from the operation
Dr. Heller performed on her.

Some physical,
some...mental.

Oh, well, I guess
it would be okay.

- The name?
- Name?

- Yeah, your name.
- Ahem.

Don't you recognize me?
I come here a lot.

Oh, I wouldn't know.
I'm just a temp, heh.

She's a temp.

Obviously, you are really busy.

So, why don't I just go
through
some of these boxes myself?

No, no, if you want it

I need to know
the name on the
file.

Well, I wouldn't presume
to know the name on the file.

How would I know
how Dr. Heller's

filing system works?

- Maybe it's in here.
- Hey, hey, hey!

You can't go in there!

'Ah! No!'

(female #2)
'Hey, what are you doing?'

Very subtle, Lois,
why didn't you just

knock her out
with a sledgehammer?

Someone's trying
to frame me,
Clark.

I don't have time to be clever.

Look at this.
It's marked "Year to date."

- Give me that.
- 'Hey, let me out of here.'

Dr. Heller's last operation.

Performed the week
before he was
killed.

Full facial reconstruction,
but there's no patient name.

Look at this.

Female, my height, my weight.

- And, look who paid for it.
- ACL Corporation.

The same company that handles
Mrs. Luthor's annuity.

Lex Luthor's
ex-wife
is out to get me?

Why? It's not like I stole him
away at the homecoming dance.

Who knows?
Let's just find her.

It's Jimmy.

Daily Planet.
Hey, C.K., good news.

I found the ship's captain
who married the Luthors.

Yeah. He's at the, uh,
Queensland retirement home.

[chuckling]
Anytime.

Just put in a good word
for me with Perry.

They sent Lois Lane home.
Are you ready?

Good. Give me 30 minutes to
get out of here and then do
it.

- Captain Keene?
- Yes.

Hi, I'm Lois Lane
and this is Clark Kent

from the "Daily Planet."

Pleased to meet you both.

Can we talk to you for a minute?

Hey, I'm retired.
You can talk to me for a
year.

Uh, please sit down.

Uh, Captain, it
was
our understanding

that you performed
the marriage of Lex
Luthor.

Oh, yeah, I married him.

'Some kid called to
say
you'd be coming by.'

Of course,
Luthor wasn't anybody
then

but I could tell
he was a comer.

And that bride of
his,
she was--

Something like me?

[chuckles]
No. Much
prettier.

And really built.

Now, what do you suppose
would make a fella like
that

jump off a building?

You'd think
with all of his
money

he'd have come up
with a better escape plan.

Captain, do you remember
the name of the bride?

Sure. Mrs. Luthor.

Hey, that's a joke.

I'm retired.
I ain't
senile.

Oh, kid said you might
wanna see a wedding picture.

'You know, I-I got pictures
of everybody I ever married.'

Oh, no.

Aha! Here you go.

'Lex Luthor and Ari Carlin.'

'Married October 8, 1984.'

Arianna Carlin is Mrs. Luthor.

That guy in the alley,
he thought he heard
"Harry."

It was "Ari."

Chief, have you seen
Dr. Carlin?

Yeah, she's gone
for the day. Why?

I found this book of hers
on subliminal advertising

and I wanted her to autograph
it
for my mom's birthday.

Whatever happened
to chocolates and
flowers?

My mom's overweight,
and she's got allergies.

Oh. Well..

Uh, give her the book.

Lois! I thought I told you to
take the rest of the week off.

I'm through
taking orders from you

and I'm through
with the "Planet."

Consider this
my two-week notice.

Somebody call
the fire department!

Lois?

Get down!

Everybody get down
and remain still!

Get down!
Get down, everybody!

'I'm gonna neutralize the gas.'

Hey!

Hey!

Wow, you look great.

[chuckles]
A little heavy
on the eyeliner, I
think.

Sorry, but you're
a little plain for me.

Plain?

Sure beats whatever
shopping channel

convinced you
that was a good
look.

Hey, you got to act like
a prissy, glorified typist

you got to dress the part.

Well, my hair has a lot more
bounce than this cheap wig.

Lois, you don't seem
to be yourself today.

What happened?

It was Lois.
She's gone crazy.

She came in here,
she threw a tear gas canister.

No, it wasn't Lois, Mr.
White.
She's been set up.

- There's a double.
- A double?

Did you see
which way she went?

Yeah, yeah.
She went back down the
elevator.

Hey, Clark,
Lois' suspicions were right.

- There is a double.
- I know. Where's Arianna?

She left before
it happened. Why?

Arianna Carlin
was married to Lex
Luthor.

I don't believe it.

Not only that, but she had
Dr. Heller create the
double.

Then she killed him. Now,
she's
trying to destroy Lois.

- Great shades of Elvis.
- Detective Ryder, please.

I can't believe that woman
pulled the wool

over my eyes like that.

Don't feel so bad, chief.
She wrote the book on it.

That's it.

Ask him to put out
an APB on Dr.
Carlin.

Chief.

'These are all of Arianna's
latest columns.'

Exactly what is it
you're looking for?

Subliminal messages.

I got it.

When you link together
the first letter of each one

of these paragraphs,
it spells the message

"Superman is evil."

Well, I'll be.

"Man of Steel wicked."

"Superman must die."

It's no wonder
that 20 percent of Metropolis

is suddenly anti-Superman.

Yeah, well, the
doctor's
got a loyal
following.

Hey, let's see what she's
got planned for tomorrow.

"Lane murder of Superman good."

That lunatic's planning
on having Lois' double

kill Superman?

And tear this city apart
over her trial.

Well, you know, she's one
brick shy of a full load.

Nobody can kill Superman.

C.K., I was giving
the APB to the cops

when Dr. Carlin called for you.

She's on line two.

- Arianna?
- Clark, I need your help.

Lois has gone over the edge.

- Where are you?
- Lex Luthor's penthouse.

Lois is threatening
to kill herself

unless she can
speak to Superman.

He'll be there
as soon as I can contact him.

- 'Perfect.'
- Uh.

Clark will testify at your trial

that I was only concerned
with your well-being.

The helpful therapist
to the end.

'Of course,
you'll tearfully insist'

'that you've been framed'

that it was actually me
who killed Superman.

Classic guilt transference.

You're the one that needs help.

Uh, nothing can kill Superman.

You remember Kryptonite.

You're the one who named it.

And this gun that you bought..

'...will kill him with it.'

And then you will know..

...the pain that I felt.

When you drove the love
of my life to his death.

I didn't drive Lex
to his death.

You're in a state
of denial, Lois.

Too bad we don't have
more time to explore that.

Hurry up.
He'll be here in a minute.

Who are you?

Let's just say I was
an accident victim

who was in the right place
at the right time.

Lois, you look
a little stressed.

As your doctor,
I'm going to prescribe

'a light sedative.'

Lois?

(Arianna)
'She'll be fine.'

I really thought you were
smarter than this.

I really am.

(Superman)
'Uhh!'

'I can imagine what's running
through your head now.'

Shock, confusion, outrage

the same emotions I felt
when you let Lex die.

You'll wake up
in a few
minutes

although I'm sure
you'll wish you
hadn't.

Let's go!

Lois, can you hear me?

Lois.

Superman?

Superman,
I'll call an ambulance.

No. Too long.

It has to come out now.

I don't know
if I can do this.

Ow!

[panting]
Please, get that away from me.

The middle of the
Bermuda Triangle would be fine.

He's weak. Run him down.

Come on!

Just do as I say.

Hey, lady, I got
nothing to steal.

Shut up and drive.

He's right behind us.
We'll never lose him.

Well, maybe you'd
like
to get out now.

No!

Oh, thanks, Superman. Here.

I guess he doesn't
read your column.

Lois, ten minutes till deadline.

Almost done.

Jimmy, what is that?

Oh, it's, uh, Arianna's book.

I'm going to get a refund.

What do you think
of this tag line?

"And so in the end,
Arianna Carlin Luthor

"proved to be no less
evil than her ex-husband.

"And thanks to Superman,
Metropolis can now bring

to a close the final chapter
of the house of Luthor."

I like it.

What's the matter?

[sighs]
Well..

...I found out
something about Superman

that I didn't put in the story.

I don't know if I should.

Is it, uh

newsworthy?

Very.

It's just it's kind of
a personal thing.

Lois, you've got
great reporter
instincts.

'Trust them.'

Lois!

Look..

...now that Dr. Carlin
and your double

are enjoying
deluxe accommodations

'with a fabulous view
of the exercise yard'

I would strongly suggest
that you take a little time
off.

- You know, I think I will.
- Now, don't argue with me
on..

You will?

'Clark, are you sure
we're talking'

to the real Lois Lane?

Uh, Lois, what are you gonna do
with all your free time?

I don't know.

Maybe I'll take a cruise
through the Bermuda Triangle.

And, guys..

...try not to let
this place fall apart

while I'm gone.

Yep.

That's our Lois.

The genuine article.

I've got some bad news, Lex.

Arianna failed.

But don't worry.

You'll always have me.
