All language subtitles for Adventures of Superman - 06x12 - The Perils of Superman

NARRATOR:
The Adventures of Superman!

Faster than a speeding bullet.

More powerful
than a locomotive.

Able to leap tall buildings
at a single bound.

MAN 1: Look! Up in the sky!
MAN 2: It's a bird!

WOMAN: It's a plane!
MAN 3: It's Superman!

NARRATOR:
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.

[���]

Y-yes?

Mr. White, please.
Mr. Perry White.

Well, um, who--?

Who shall I say
is calling?

A friend, perhaps?

Well, I'm sorry,
but Mr. White sees no one

except if they have
an appointment.

Mr. White
will see me.

Ring him.

Oh.

Well, Mr. Olsen,
you've done it again.

I've warned you
time and time again.

Now, hear this.

I am now warning you
positively for the last time!

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

Yes, what is it?

I don't know what's wrong
with this girl. What is it?

There's, um, a--

A gentleman here
to see you, Mr. White.

Well, what's his name?
Who is he?

ETHEL:
I don't know. He won't say.

Oh, he won't,
won't he?

Well, you know I never
see people unless they--

What's he look like?

I said,
what does he look like?

I-- I don't know.

You don't know his name,

you don't know
what he looks like, you--

Send him up.

Mr. White says
you may go up.

I heard him.

[���]

I don't know what's
the matter with that girl.

Oh, Ethel's usually
very efficient, chief.

But this time she acted--
You shut up!

As though she was
seeing things.

[DOOR OPENS]

And maybe she was!

What's the meaning
of this?

Patience, Mr. White.
I shall try to explain.

I wish Clark was here
to see this.

In the first place,
I'm gratified

to find you all
here together.

Perry White, Lois Lane,
Jimmy Olsen.

I could only wish

that Mr. Clark Kent
could be present also.

I hear my name
mentioned?

Well, I didn't realize
it was so close to Halloween.

It was good of you
to come, Mr. Kent.

No trouble at all.
What's this all about?

It's really very simple.

The Daily Planet,
with Superman's help,

succeeded in ruining

the best-paying racket
I ever had

and sent several
of my closest friends to jail.

Well, they must have
deserved it, then.

That's beside the point.
I intend to get even.

With Superman?

Why, don't be silly.
Nobody can harm him.

No, but I can strike at him
through his friends.

Meaning us?

All of you.

And with you out of the way,
the Planet's days

as a newspaper
will be numbered.

You'll never get away with it.

Whatever you're planning,
Superman will stop you.

When he doesn't even know
where I am?

Or what I look like,
or who I am?

Well, he'll know
what you look like

as soon as he sees through
that mask you're wearing.

This mask happens
to be made of lead.

That's the one thing his x-ray
vision can't see through.

LOIS:
Then he'll yank it off.

He can't.
It's locked on.

And besides,
I have 10 other men

walking the streets
of this town

dressed exactly
like I am

and wearing the same
kind of lead masks.

And theirs
are locked on too.

And I'm the only one
with the key.

Ten other men
who look like that?

Exactly.

And Superman
can't keep an eye

on all of us
at the same time.

While he's watching
some of us,

the rest will be
taking care of you.

Taking care of us?
How?

In several ways.

[LAUGHS]

I'm a do-it-yourself man,
myself.

I love gimmicks.

And I've got
a different surprise

fixed up
for each one of you.

And this is one time

when Superman won't come
to your rescue.

Where's Kent?

Now, where did he go?

Oh, you know Clark.

He's probably
so frightened,

he's out looking
for a place to hide.

Maybe that's what
we'd all better do.

Or maybe that guy in the mask
was just bluffing.

I don't think so.

He sounded
as if he meant every word.

[���]

If we could only find out
who the ringleader is.

You know, the one
that came to the office.

He refused to give
his name, huh?

Of course he refused
to give his name.

He didn't have
any identification papers

in his wallet, either.

How'd you know that?

Well, it--
It figures, Bill.

After all, anyone
that's smart enough

to outwit Superman

by wearing a lead mask
to hide his identity

is certainly smart enough
to not carry

identification papers
around in his wallet

where Superman could see it
with his x-ray vision.

Yeah, that figures.

Anybody who can figure
a way from keeping

Superman off his trail
is plenty smart.

And plenty dangerous.

Yeah, how's Mr. White
taking all this?

The same as Lois and Jimmy.

They're worried.

And they've got
good reason to be.

How about you, Kent?

I'm worried too, Bill.

Chief, do you think
this could be a gag?

Or somebody's idea
of an outrageous practical joke?

No. I-I would like
to think so,

but frankly, I don't think
our lead-headed friend

is a prankster.

That's why I want
to send you two out of town

on an assignment.

Oh, you mean,
you want us to run away?

Who said anything
about running away?

And pray tell,
where would you be?

Right here at my desk,
of course, as usual.

Yeah, well, that's us.
Right here too, as usual.

Now, look here--

Now just a minute, chief.
I think Jimmy's right.

We wouldn't run away
any more than you would.

And you wouldn't
want us to, would you?

No, I guess not.

Okay.
Business as usual.

I hope.

Well, if it's business
as usual,

I think you
and I are about due

at that political
luncheon, chief.

I suppose you're right.

Oh, you mean,
both of you are going away

and leaving me alone?

What's the matter?
Are you scared?

Sure. Aren't you?
[SCOFFS]

Look, Bill,
why don't you

at least assign
some bodyguards

to the chief
and Lois and Jimmy?

Yes.

Yes, I'd, uh--

I'd be glad to
if Mr. White okays it.

What do you mean,
"if Mr. White okays it"?

Well, you can't assign
a bodyguard

to a citizen
without his permission.

That's the law
of this state.

Well, that's nice,

but I'm sure you can get
his permission.

Here, why don't you
call him up and ask him?

I'll be glad to.

Uh, get me Perry White
of the Daily Planet, please.

Perry White, I've had
about enough out of you.

I just-- Just enough.

How do you like noise?

You're gonna look very funny

in that loud pressroom,
Perry White.

How's your aim?

You good on a bicycle?
You're gonna be throwing papers!

That's what! Throwing papers!
All over the block, right--

[PHONE RINGS]

Uh, hello. Mr. White's office.
Olsen speaking.

Oh, hi, inspector.

No, Mr. White and Miss Lane,

they just left to go
on a political luncheon.

Sure, they were fine.

Me? I'm okay too.

Who'd wanna bother me?

Sure, inspector.

Who'd wanna bother me?

Want me to drive?

Yes, will you, please?

Just a moment,
Miss Lane.

Drive out as usual,

except that instead
of taking the right turn

toward the Civic Center,

turn left
and head out of the city.

[ENGINE STARTS]

[���]

Come on,
come on.

Over there.
Sit down.

I suppose this is
what you call a hideout.

It isn't much,
Miss Lane,

but it will serve
our purpose.

Of course, you realize
we know every mile

of the route we took,

and we also know exactly
where this place is.

It doesn't matter,
Mr. White.

You're not gonna be around
to tell anyone.

And as a matter of fact,

I don't think
you could remember

the route we took.

Ha!

Oh, for example,
suppose you wanted

to tell, uh, young Mr. Olsen,
say, how to get here.

What would you say?

I'd say,
Olsen, get in your car,

take the Crestlake Road
about four miles past Bellville.

Make the first right turn

past the railroad track
on a dirt road.

The first house you see

will be where you'll find
Miss Lane and me

and a couple
of pretty stupid crooks.

That's very good.

And now, would you mind
repeating that message

when I get Mr. Olsen
on the line?

I certainly would mind.

And gun or no gun,
I won't do it.

[LAUGHS]

[DIALING]

Daily Planet?

Mr. James Olsen, please.

[PHONE RINGS]

Olsen's office, what--?

White's office, Olsen sp--

PERRY [RECORDING]:
I'd say, Olsen,
get in your car,

take the Crestlake Road

about four miles
past Bellville.

Make the first right turn
past the railroad track

on a dirt road.

The first house you see

will be where you'll find
Miss Lane and me.

[LINE CLICKS]

I was afraid you might
not repeat the message,

so I took the precaution
of recording your words

on a portable tape recorder.

Well, that's
a dirty trick.

All's fair, Miss Lane.

And now we must
be going again.

Each of you has
a date with destiny.

A last date.

Outside.
Outside.

First right,
turn past railroad tracks.

Take dirt road,
first house you come to.

Okay.

[RINGS]

[RINGS]

[LINE RINGING]

Now Jimmy doesn't answer.

Lois and Mr. White
never did get

to the luncheon
they were scheduled to attend.

I don't like it, Kent.
Neither do I,

and I'm gonna do something
about it too.

Wait a minute.

I'm gonna throw out
a dragnet.

I'm gonna fine-comb
the city.

Now, you wait a minute.

If this character
in the lead mask

has got the chief
and Lois and Jimmy,

throwing out a dragnet
wouldn't do any good.

I've got a better idea.
Such as?

Well, I'll just let
him capture me too.

Then with luck,
they'll take me

where they're holding
the others.

I'll buy that.

If they do grab you,

I'll be following
with my men.

Now, let's see.
The last place

any of the others were
heard from was the office.

That's probably where
that character in the lead mask

is waiting for me too.
I'll see you, Bill.

We'll be there.

Uh, get me Murphy.

[���]

Turner, you and Ransom
cover the entrance in the back.

Carnahan, you and I
will cover this entrance.

If Kent is captured
inside the building,

they're sure to take him out
one way or the other,

and we'll be able to trail them
wherever they take him.

Okay.

All right, up.

Surprised?

No, I don't suppose
I should be.

After all, you did say
you were gonna

revenge yourself on us.

Do you intend to shoot me
right here in my own office?

That would be too easy.

When I get through
with you,

even Superman
wouldn't know you.

Start walking.

Downstairs?

So the police
can follow us?

I'm not that stupid.

We go upstairs,
to the roof.

The roof?

You can't take me
anywhere from there.

That's what you think.

If they caught him,

they ought to be
coming out by now.

Unless they went out
the other entrance.

[PROPELLERS WHIRRING]

A helicopter.

And Kent's probably in it.

He'll get clear away
before we can get trail him.

If anybody
ever needed Superman,

Kent needs him now.

Well,
Mr. Nosy Reporter,

you've turned in
your last story.

In a minute,
you'll be lowered

into that vat
of acid.

You wouldn't dare.

You're just bluffing,
trying to frighten me.

Wanna bet?

But-- But that's illegal.

The police wouldn't let you
get away with it.

I wouldn't count on that,
if I were you.

First, they'd have to find
this old factory,

and they're not
about to do that.

How would Inspector Henderson
trace us here?

Oh, I guess he couldn't.

I'll say he can't.

No more than
he'll find Perry White,

Lois Lane
and that cub, Olsen.

Are they here too?

They're nowhere
near here.

Well, what have you done
with them?

It's not what I've done,
but what I'm about to do.

I don't mind telling you
that they're doomed.

Just like in the old-time
movie serials.

Movie serials?

Yes.

For instance,
we have Mr. White

in the old sawmill,
back of Centerville.

He's tied up
like a bale of laundry.

And in just about...

10 minutes,

he'll go sliding
into the buzz saw.

Oh, no.
Fact.

And in just about 15 minutes,
Lois Lane will perish too.

She's tied to the railroad
tracks on the main line,

just east
of Rockport Junction,

where the Midwestern Flier

hits better
than 80 miles an hour.

You know what that means.

It's horrible.

Isn't it?

And then there's
Jimmy Olsen.

Would you like to know
where he is?

Right now,
he's driving his car

back of Crestvale,
up into the mountains.

But what he doesn't know

is that we've poured acid
over the brakes

and the steering gear.

And in, oh, say,
about 20 minutes,

he'll be going down
a sharp curve and then blam!

You'll never get away
with this.

If you're depending
on Superman, I wouldn't.

He doesn't even know
what's going on.

Are you sure?

Well, if he did,
he'd be here.

I don't see him around,
do you?

No.

And he's not going to be.

[LAUGHS]

It's a cinch you're not going
to get word to him.

Start the motor.

I've always liked

these old-fashioned
but imaginative ways

of getting rid
of one's enemies.

You do seem to have gone
to a great deal of trouble.

No trouble at all.

Although, I had hoped that
you'd take it a little harder.

You know, begged for mercy
and that sort of thing.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Well, that's life.
Or death.

Farewell, Mr. Kent.

[LAUGHS]

[���]

Let's get out
to the helicopter.

I don't want
just part of the force

working on the case.

I want all of them.

Get word to every
reserve officer and patrolman.

Put them on 24-hour duty.

Search every house and building
in Metropolis if you have to.

But find Lois Lane, Clark Kent,
Jimmy Olsen and Perry White.

They've got to be somewhere.

They've got to be somewhere.

But where?

I don't want excuses.
I want action.

And send out an APB
to pick up every man

wearing a lead mask,
understand?

Now that we've got
the helicopter hidden away,

all we have to do is wait
for the sawmill clock

to start the machinery.

Then goodbye, Perry White.

[���]

Oh, Superman.
Are you all right, sir?

Yeah, I-- I thought
I was done for.

There we are.

Oh, how about Miss Lane
and Jimmy Olsen?

They're gonna be
all right, sir, I hope.

The man in the lead mask

told me exactly
what he had in mind for them.

I just hope I'm not
too late to save them.

Excuse me, sir.

[WIND WHOOSHING]

[TRAIN HORN BLOWING]

[HORN BLOWING]

Are you all right,
Miss Lane?

All thanks to you.

But what about Mr. White?

Well, he's all right now.

Thank heavens.

But I'm very worried
about Jimmy Olsen.

I don't know far
he's driven on Crestvale road.

But Jimmy's
a good driver.

That's not gonna help him
much now, Miss Lane.

You see, his brakes
and his steering gear

have been sabotaged.
Excuse me, please.

[WIND WHOOSHING]

The rest of the boys
should be getting here

any minute now.

[TRAIN HORN BLOWING]

There goes the express.
Right on time.

So we can check off Clark Kent,
Perry White and Lois Lane.

That leaves
just Olsen to go.

And if that acid works
the way it should,

his car should be
going out of control

any minute now.

[LAUGHS]

I'd love to see
the expression on his face.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

[���]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Help!

Help!

[WIND WHOOSHING]

Help.

Nice and easy.

Give me the other one.

[LAUGHS]

Oh, golly, Superman,
am I glad to see you.

Well, the feeling
is mutual, I assure you.

How did you manage
to get yourself

in a spot like that?

[PANTING]
Oh, I-- I tried
to save myself.

When the car went over
the cliff, I jumped out.

But I jumped the wrong way.

I'll bet you had
your eyes closed.

Yeah. How did you guess?

Figures.

Golly.

What about Miss Lane
and Mr. White?

Oh, they're all right now.

That reminds me.

Jimmy, you'll have to hitch
yourself a ride home.

I have to go
and find out, uh,

just who this criminal is,
responsible for all this.

Oh, that shouldn't be hard.
I wrote his address down.

You did?

Nice going.

[WIND WHOOSHING]

[���]

So naturally when we got
down to headquarters,

the rest was easy.

Superman used his x-ray eyes
to see which one had the key

which unlocked
all the lead masks.

Naturally,
he was the ringleader.

Now they'll all go to prison
for a long, long time.

Well, we surely owe
our lives to Superman.

All of us.

We certainly do,
don't we, Clark?

Well, all I can say is,
if it weren't for Superman,

I wouldn't be here.

You know, there's one thing
I don't understand, boss.

We saw Kent go in that tub
of acid, but we didn't--

Shut up,
you fool!

Don't ever say anything
about that again.

Don't even think it.

Nobody'd believe it, huh?

Nobody.

I don't even
believe it myself.

thrill-packed episode

in the amazing
Adventures of Superman.
