All language subtitles for Adventures of Superman - 06x09 - Superman s Wife

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: 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.

[���]

All right, you crook,
I want straight answers.

Any time you don't
tell the truth,

this lie detector
shows it.

You know I wouldn't fib to you,
Inspector Henderson.

You'd better not.

Your name is
Duke Barlow, right?

Yeah.

You and your pal
Whitey Krell

were caught robbing
the Fifth National Bank?

Yeah.

Superman nabbed us
in the act.

How many more of your men
were in on the job?

DUKE:
None of them.
Just me and Whitey.

SUPERMAN:
How about that, inspector?
Is he telling the truth?

According to this he is.

But you do admit
to being part

of a large
criminal organization?

The biggest.

It was till you horned in.

More than half the gang's
been put in jail

the last few months,
thanks to you.

But there's still
plenty of us left.

That we already know.

What we want to know is
who's the brains of the outfit?

Who plans the crimes?

I couldn't tell ya.

We just get the orders
from the top,

then go out
and do like we're told.

Yes, but who is he?
What's his name?

I couldn't say.

All we know him by
is Mr. X.

The polygraph says
he's telling the truth.

I told you
I wouldn't fib to you.

[SIGHS]
All right.

Take him out.
Lock him up.

Inspector, you're never gonna
clean up this crime syndicate

until you find out
who that head man is.

Yeah, you can
say that again.

But how can we catch him
when his own mobsters

don't even know
who he is?

Mr. X.

There must be some way
to learn his true identity.

Yeah,
we've been working on it.

I've had
the whole department

working day and night
and getting nowhere.

Not even a clue?

Not even a hint.

Send Sergeant O'Hara in.

Oh, one of the detectives
working on your case?

Yes, and one of
the best on the force,

and just as baffled
as the rest of us.

And when O'Hara's baffled,
that's really something.

[���]

You sent for me, inspector?

HENDERSON:
Yes.

I want you to meet Superman.

Superman,
this is Sergeant O'Hara.

Well, I'm glad
to know you, sir.

It's my pleasure,
sergeant.

Inspector Henderson
tells me

you've been working
on the case of Mr. X.

Yes, without much luck,
I'm afraid.

I've even been trying
to get inside his organization,

but I haven't been able
to figure out a way yet.

I see.

Sergeant O'Hara...

will you marry me?

What?!

Why,
I'd be delighted.

"In an exclusive interview
with Lois Lane,

"Daily Planet reporter,

"Superman revealed
his surprise marriage last night

"to Miss Helen J. O'Hara
of this city.

"The newly wedded couple will
reside at the bride's apartment

"on the 18th floor
of the Beresford Arms.

Golly, this will be
the first time

anybody will know
where Superman lives.

PERRY: What of it?
JIMMY: Well, I-I mean,

if we keep the Beresford Arms
under surv--

Survei...llance--

If we keep an eye
on the Beresford Arms,

we'll find out
who Superman is.

Don't be ridiculous, Olsen.

Obviously, he isn't gonna go in
and out through the lobby.

He'd use the window.

Besides,
aren't the bride and groom

entitled to a little privacy?

Why, of course they are.

And incidentally,
Miss Lane,

you told the story of Superman's
marriage very well indeed.

Thank you, Mr. White.

At least
he did me the courtesy

of giving me the exclusive
instead of Clark Kent.

Golly, you sure are lucky,
Miss Lane.

It's the scoop
of the year.

Yeah, I'm sure lucky all right.

Why aren't you out working?

Well...I don't have
any work to do.

Well, go out
and find something.

Yes, sir.
Yes. Right away.

I've always known how you've
felt about Superman, Miss Lane.

I guess his marriage
hit you pretty hard.

[SOBS]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Come.

We didn't have a bit of trouble
grabbin' her, boss.

Yeah, that story
in the Daily Planet

told us
where she lived,

and the rest was easy.

I was sure
it would be.

What's the meaning of this?

Why should these men
take me out of my apartment

and bring me here
against my will?

My dear Mrs. Superman.

Shall we say
that I had an impulse

to have you here
as my guest?

And when I have an impulse,
I never fail to gratify it.

So welcome
to my headquarters.

Headquarters? Who are you?

My associates call me Mr. X.

You must be the man the
newspapers are talking about.

The head
of the crime syndicate.

Yes.

Now, if you'll excuse me
while I make a telephone call.

HELEN:
You can't hold me
prisoner here.

You'll never
get away with it.

When my husband
hears about--

Oh, he'll hear about it.

I'm calling
a friend of his right now

to make sure that he does.

But he won't
do anything about it.

This is one time
that Superman

is going to find himself
quite powerless.

Hello, Daily Planet?

Connect me with Clark Kent.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello,
this is Kent speaking.

What did you just say?

I said
this was Mr. X speaking.

My organization is holding
Mrs. Superman as hostage.

Will you contact him
and give him this message?

Unless he stops interfering
with our activities,

he'll never see
his wife again.

Will you tell him that?

You bet I'll tell him.

And when I do,
you'd better duck for cover.

He'll come over and tear
your place down brick by brick.

Oh, no.
No, he won't.

In the first place,
he doesn't know where we are.

In the second place...

one wrong move

and Mrs. Superman's health

will suffer
very severely indeed.

You wouldn't dare harm
Mrs. Superman.

Oh, no?

I wouldn't bet on that
if I were you.

Hello? Hello!

You see how clever I am?

Superman won't dare
try to rescue you.

The only way he can
protect you from harm

is by staying away

and keeping his nose
out of my business.

You've got it all figured out,
haven't you, Mr. X?

You'd be surprised
how well I have it figured.

For instance,

take this television camera.

It transmits over
a closed private circuit

to this receiving set.

HELEN:
What do you use it for?

You'll find out. Blinky.

BLINKY:
Yeah, boss.

You know where
I want this connected.

BLINKY:
Pier 96?

MR. X:
Exactly.

Now get going, fast.

Now, we'll give him
10 minutes' start,

then we'll put the second step
of my plan into operation.

What step is that, boss?

We phone Perry White,
publisher of the Daily Planet.

Yes. Yes, I see.
Oh, really?

You think there might be
a story in it, eh?

Well, excuse me
just a moment, please.

Olsen?

Come in here a moment, please.
I have an assignment for you.

Bring Miss Lane with you.

JIMMY:
Yes, sir. On the double.

Now, you were saying?

Yes.

Pier 96, eh?

Okay. I've got it.

Well, thank you very much.
Thanks for calling. Goodbye.

You sent for us, chief?

Yes, uh, what do you know about
Pier 96 down at the harbor?

Pier 96? Well, it's
one pier beyond Pier 95.

Well,
that's a big help.

Pier 96. Isn't that the one
they haven't used

for the past
two or three years?

Right.

Have you
heard about anyone

parking a bathysphere
down there recently?

Well, don't look at me.
I didn't park it there.

What is a bathysphere?
Something you take a bath in?

It's a diving bell,
you blockhead.

You go
under the water in it

so you can study
the floor of the ocean.

I do.

Oh, no, I don't.
Not me.

No one's asking you to.

I just want
you and Miss Lane

to go down there
and look it over.

I've had
an anonymous phone call.

We might find
an interesting story in it.

Oh, wait a minute.
I think I'll go with you.

[���]

This will be one of the biggest
and most daring robberies

this city has ever seen.

Three million dollars
just like that.

But why are you
telling me all this?

Because
you'll never repeat it.

Look, boss.

Blinky's got
his TV camera switched on.

So he has. So he has.

Well, well, well.

We are in luck.

My phone call to Perry White
worked better than I thought.

What do you mean?

Well, he not only sent
the two reporters to Pier 96,

he went there himself.

Now we'll start
the third step of my plan.

Hey, look, boss.

That Olsen punk,

he don't wanna
get in that thing.

Don't worry.
He'll get in.

Newspapermen are noted
for their curiosity.

Daily Planet?

Get me Clark Kent.

[RINGS]

Hello, Kent speaking.

What's that? You say you've got
Lois and Jimmy and Mr. White?

That's right.

And since all three of them
are friends of Superman,

I thought perhaps
you might like to warn him

that they're
in the gravest danger.

That's what I said,
Pier 96.

Not at all.

Glad to oblige.

If I know Superman,

he'll be on his way to Pier 96
as soon as he hears the news.

[���]

We've got to
go inside it.

The man
who phoned me said

that's where
we'd find the story.

What if it starts going down
while we're inside?

How can it when there's no one
working the controls?

And besides,
lots of people

have taken rides
in bathyspheres.

All you do is close the hatch,
and the water can't come in.

What if it leaks?

For heaven's sake, if you're
scared, say so. I'm not.

Come on, Jimmy.
Come on.

Oh, all right.
I'm coming. Don't rush me.

Oh.

[���]

Miss Lane, come out of there.

All set, boss.

Now sink 'em,
boss.

[���]

What's goi''
on here?

We're sinking.

[���]

Superman,
do something.

Not while we're
still dropping, Miss Lane.

You wouldn't have a chance.

Superman...

this is Mr. X.

You're now 250 feet
below the surface.

You'll stay there until I
decide to bring you up again.

He not only has your wife
in captivity, but us too.

I warn you,
don't try anything rash

if you value the lives
of your companions

and the safety
of Mrs. Superman.

Isn't there anything
you can do?

Well, Miss Lane,
I could break out of here

and swim
to the surface, but--

Then why don't you?
We'll swim up with you.

Not at this depth,
Jimmy.

The water pressure
would crush you in an instant.

You mean
we're stuck here?

I'm afraid so, Miss Lane,
for the present.

Blinky should be back
from the pier at any minute.

You come help me
with the dynamite.

You, uh, gonna
leave her here alone?

She won't escape.

As you can see,

the windows are barred.

The door
has an excellent lock.

Just make yourself at home.

Superman, can you hear me?

I may not have much time.

Is that
your wife?

Mr. X and his crime syndicate

are planning the biggest
robbery they ever pulled.

There's an armored truck
taking $3 million in currency

to the Federal Reserve Bank.

It's coming by a back road,

but Mr. X knows the route
and the schedule.

When it crosses
the old wooden bridge

over Southport Ravine
at 3:00,

they're going
to blow up the bridge.

The truck will fall
in the ravine and burst open.

The gang will grab the cash
and make a getaway.

Superman, this is
Sergeant O'Hara.

Do you hear that?

Mr. X and his crime syndicate
are planning the biggest--

She called herself
Sergeant O'Hara.

Yes, I heard.

So...you're a policewoman.

Yes, and I'm pretty
proud of it too.

She was cut off.

He probably caught her
giving me the message.

But she'd
already given it.

Why do you suppose
she started all over again?

Because
she wanted them to think

that she hadn't had time
to give me the message.

That she was
just beginning to talk.

Lucky we caught you
before you had a chance

to tell Superman our plans.

Not that it matters now.

Superman.

This is Mr. X.

Too bad your wife turned out
to be a policewoman.

I'm afraid she's about
to retire from the force

permanently.

As for you and your companions,
I regret to inform you

that I have decided
to let you stay

at the bottom of the harbor
from now on.

That means
we're doomed.

Jeepers.

It's the biggest story
we've ever had,

and we'll never
get it into the paper.

At least
you can save yourself

by smashing out of
this bathysphere

and swimming
to the surface.

Oh, no, Miss Lane.

I've already told you

what would happen
to all of you if I did that.

I know, but the water pressure
can't crush you.

At least that's the only way
you can stop the robbery and...

save your wife.

Blinky should be back
in five minutes.

It's time we left
for the Southport Bridge.

What do we do with her?

We take her along.

What for, boss?

As a policewoman, she's probably
deeply interested in explosives.

I'm sure she'll be interested
in what I have in mind.

Interested,
not necessarily happy.

[���]

The armored car should be here
in exactly 17 minutes.

Then we'd better get busy
with the dynamite, eh, boss?

Yes, do a good job.

I'll stay here and keep an eye
on Mrs. Superman.

It should be
quite an explosion.

Too bad you won't be here
to tell about it.

Miss Lane's right,
Superman.

No matter what happens to us,
you've got to get out of here.

It's a quarter of 3 now.

They're gonna blow up
that bridge in 15 minutes.

I know. I know.

If there's only some way
to stop them

without sacrificing
all your lives.

JIMMY:
If you were only
on the outside,

you could just lift
the bathysphere

up to the surface.

Lift it?

That's it.

Jimmy, you've just
given me an idea.

Now, that plate holds the cable
to the top of the sphere.

If I can pull the plate off
and get ahold of the cable,

I can pull us up.

Of course, a little water
may come in,

but I don't think
it'll be dangerous.

Let's try.

We're goin' up!

[���]

All set, boss.
Good.

Come along.
We'll inspect it.

I don't wanna see it.

I said come along.

You too, Dugan.

Expert workmanship.
Tie her to the rail.

What for?

You'll see.

No.

Go ahead. Tie her.

There.

I hope that won't be
too uncomfortable.

Does it matter?

Not really.

In a few minutes,
you won't feel it at all.

I sure hope
he makes it.

If he doesn't,
it's all up with us.

And your wife.

How about it, boss?
Is it time to light the fuse?

How long have you
got it set for?

It'll burn exactly
five minutes, then whammo.

Well, we'll wait
just a few minutes more.

The armored truck is
still eight minutes away

with $3 million aboard.

[GRUNTING]

What do you say, boss?
Ain't it about time?

You can prepare to light it
in exactly one more minute.

Hurry, Superman, hurry!

It's six minutes
to 3!

I can feel these wet pants
shrinkin' on me!

Now, boss?

Thirty seconds.

[WATER BUBBLING]

We're breaking the surface.

All right, Miss Lane.

Open the door
and step out on the pier.

It won't budge.

Stand back, please.

Superman,
come on.

I can't,
Miss Lane.

If I release
this cable,

the sphere will go
to the bottom.

But you can't
stay there.

I realize that.
Now please go.

What are you gonna do?

Eventually,
after you get out of here,

I'm going to let go
of this cable,

and the sphere will sink.

Then I'll swim to the surface.

Now, will you kindly
get out of here?

We'll get a couple
of hundred yards away

to be on the safe side.

Now light the fuse.

In five minutes
it'll all be over.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Any moment now.

What's the cotton for,
Blinky?

Makin' earplugs.

Ooh, I never did like
loud noises.

[GRUNTING]

[���]

[TIRES SCREECH]

Stop!

Turn around and take
the other road into town.

Hurry!

[AIR WHOOSHING]

Just about time.

Eh?

What'd ya say,
boss?

He said it's just about time
for the blowup.

Uh-oh.

[FUSE CRACKLING]

[AIR WHOOSHES]

Superman!

Come on.

Now let's go collect
our $3 million.

Superman!

I'm sorry to disappoint you,
gentlemen.

The only place
you're going is to jail.

Eh?
What'd you say?

Superman!

Shoot him, you clowns.
Shoot him!

I give up.

That's the first wise decision
you've made today.

So you see, Superman and I
weren't really married at all.

He figured that if Mr. X
thought we were married,

he'd try to get
at Superman through me.

He figured right, and it almost
cost you your life.

That's my job,
Mr. White.

And I had
to get inside the gang.

You're a brave man,
O'Hara.

Golly,

now that you're not
married to Superman, uh...

I might ask you
to marry me.

If I were
the marryin' kind.

Oh, thank you.
Thanks a lot, Jimmy,

but I think
I'll just wait around

for Superman to ask me
again, for real.

Well, I feel I must warn you,
you've got competition.

Well, Jimmy, it looks like
ordinary fellas like you and I

don't have a chance anymore.

These young ladies
don't seem to think

there's anyone in the world
but Superman.

BOTH:
Well, is there?

[ALL LAUGHING]
