All language subtitles for Adventures of Superman - 06x10 - Three in One

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.

[���]

You mean to say you've got
to close your circus, Tex?

Somebody took my operational
fund out of my safe,

as clean as a whistle.

No money, no circus.

And the police have no idea
who might have done it?

Not a fingerprint,
not a clue of any kind.

I just been plumb stolen
out of business.

The circus is my life,
my whole life.

Without it,
I'm just nothing.

Suppose we could recover
the money for you?

Well, that'd be
mighty fine, ma'am,

but police have tried,

and they haven't come up
with a thing.

So in one more week,
no more circus.

Yeah.

It isn't much time.

[WHISTLING]

Don't you know it's bad luck
to whistle in the dressing room?

Who needs luck?
We've got luck.

Yeah, sure.
We take the money,

the show closes,
so we're out of a job.

There's no percentage.

Look, what we took
from Mr. Tex Dawson's safe

is chicken feed compared to what
we're gonna take from now on.

And we won't have to wait
until the circus closes

before we can start.

We'll do our real work every
night after the performance.

How?

Right in our own line.

I am the world's greatest
escape artist, right?

Of course.

Vaults, straitjackets,
handcuffs, safes, anything.

Everybody knows
you're the greatest.

By the same token,
I can break into anything.

Well, yeah. Robbing Mr. Dawson's
safe proved that.

Correct.

There's just one trouble.

Most of the safes and vaults
on ground floors

are very well-guarded.

I'm beginning to understand.

I am the world's
greatest human fly.

Absolutely
the greatest.

Therefore, you could climb
the side of any building,

enter through the window,

then lower the rope,
and pull me up.

And you can open the safes?

Just like that.

Ahhh.

The Daily Planet's leaning hard

on the police department,
Mr. White.

All we do is print the news,
inspector.

Five sensational robberies
in three days

just can't be ignored, you know.

You're right, of course.

I'm just trying to save
my own face.

If I don't get
some action pretty soon,

the commissioner's gonna
have me on the carpet.

Well, I don't understand it.

We know these crimes
were committed, of course.

Just seems impossible.

How can you explain anyone

opening these burglarproof safes
with such ease?

There's only one man
in the country

who might be able
to do it.

He's been in state prison
for eight years.

Yes, but even if he
weren't in prison,

how would he get
at these safes?

That's the most puzzling thing
about these robberies.

There are plenty of good
second-story men around,

but what kind of a man
can burgle a place

on the 32nd story?

[���]

[���]

Is there a burglar alarm?

I disconnected it.

Good. Now, why would they
need an alarm?

They have the protection
of 17 stories.

Wait outside the door, Gus.

And keep an eye out
for the watchman.

Okay.
Good boy.

Back.

Superman.
I'm glad it's you.

Where am I?

What's more to the point is,
who are you?

Well, how did I
get up here?

Hm. That's a question
the police would like answered.

I don't understand.

Neither do I. Suppose we both
go to police headquarters

and have all
of our questions answered.

Shall we go? This way.

You mean you--
You're gonna fly me there?

Is there another way?
Be my guest.

He's still a little shaken up
from his trip here,

but I guess he can talk.

Hey, you.

We're reporters from
the Daily Planet.

Do you have a statement
for the press?

The same thing I told
the inspector.

It's a frame-up.

We don't even know
who you are.

Why should
we frame you?

How should I know?

Maybe you needed a pigeon
for a recent series of crimes.

Or maybe it wasn't
the police at all.

Just what do you mean
by that?

All I know is that
I was walking down the street,

and somebody grabbed me
from behind.

Next thing I knew,
I was with Superman

on the 17th floor of a building.

Are you accusing Superman?

I'm not accusing anyone.

I'm just telling you
what happened.

If you're so innocent,

why won't you give us
your name?

I explained that.
I'm a respectable businessman.

I don't want to embarrass
my wife and family

with a scandal.

You were caught red-handed
at the scene of a crime.

And you're not gonna
be released until you answer.

Well, if that's your attitude,
inspector,

I have nothing more
to say.

Well, I've, uh, been up
with him all night,

and that's as far
as I've gotten.

He keeps saying that Superman
must have flown him

up to the room

or how else would he
have gotten there.

[���]

How can ya
fight Superman?

I can't.

But I can keep him so busy
with his own troubles,

he won't have time
to bother with us.

Come in, Atlas, come in.

[RUSSIAN ACCENT]
Where's job?

You tell me you have
job for me.

I do, Atlas, I do.

Pellini and myself have sort of
formed a detective agency,

and we'd like you
to work with us.

Atlas no detective.

Atlas the strongest man
in the world.

Sure, I know.

But what are you going to do
when the circus closes?

I work.

I know. I checked up
on you.

You've registered
with an agency for babysitters.

[LAUGHING]

[CHOKING]

Atlas, put him down.

I sorry. Atlas don't like
for people to laugh on him.

Then forget this job
as a babysitter

and come to work
with us.

After a while we might even
let you wear a badge.

Yeah. Okay.

What do I do?

Well, the first thing
we do...

What you do?

You tell Atlas
you detective.

We are.

We just got word
that some crooks

were about to rob this vault,

so we've been hired
to remove the money

before they can get it.

But why you want Atlas?

Your job starts now.

I want you to bend
those bars.

Why? You've already got
the safe opened.

Do as I say.

Or are the bars too thick
for the great Atlas?

No bars too thick
for Atlas.

Good.

That's enough.

Now all we have to do
is reconnect the burglar alarm.

Reconnect it?

That's right, reconnect it.

"Police still baffled
by Flying Burglar."

What else can they expect us
to be but baffled?

A burglar
who seems to fly

through the windows
of skyscrapers.

And escapes
from locked jail cells.

Only, the commissioner
isn't baffled.

He says to stop
this man, or else.

[PHONE RINGS]

Yes?

Right.

The alarm just went off
at the Cityside Loan Company.

Cityside Loan is on the 17th
floor of the Mallory Building.

Maybe we got him
this time.

Looks like he finally
made a mistake.

Wanna come along?

No, I better phone
the lead in. Go ahead.

I'll, uh, join you later.

[���]

Superman.
What are you doing here?

[CHUCKLES]

I just dropped by,
inspector.

When did you get here?

Just a moment ago.

Did you see anyone here?

No.

Did you do this?

Why, no, inspector.

It was this way when I arrived.

Well, you know,
these bars are built

so they can't bend very easily.

I don't know of anyone
who could do this but you.

I'm sorry, Superman,

but I'll have to place you
under arrest.

All right, inspector.
I guess you will.

It worked, Pellini,
it worked.

They put Superman in jail.

What he do?

What he do?

[CHUCKLES]

He get in our way,
that's what he do.

Yeah, but if--
If we pull another job

while Superman's
still in jail,

well, then they'll know
he's not guilty.

That's right.

That's why we can
only pull one more job.

But it has to be
a big one.

A real big one.

We've got a pretty good case
against you, you know.

You were found at the scene
of the crime.

The bars were bent in a manner
requiring super-strength.

The safe was opened
by a master cracksman

or by someone who saw
the tumblers and combination

with his x-ray vision.

And I was on the top floor
of a building

in a room that could
only be entered by a window.

Like I say.

There's only one thing
wrong with this plot.

Where's the loot?

You threw it out the window
to your confederates down below.

Oh, I did?
To whom did I throw it?

Well, who knows?
Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane.

Clark Kent, maybe.

Inspector, you don't really
believe this drivel, do you?

[LAUGHS]

Of course I don't.

But it takes the commissioner
off my back for a few minutes.

And you must have had
some reason

for letting me arrest you
without any argument.

That's right.

Now, somebody obviously
wanted me out of the way.

So they arranged this crime
to look as though I had done it.

But how was it done?

Well, how, we don't know.
Who, we do.

Obviously it's the man
who escaped from your jail.

Now, if we pretend to go along
with his plans, inspector,

maybe he'll trip himself up.

Now, that's a long shot.

Yes. Maybe we can
even help him a little.

Help him? How?

By setting a trap

high in the sky where our man
obviously likes to work.

For example, the new
Chapman Building on 4th Street.

That should be completed now,
isn't it?

It is completed.

They placed the flagpole
on top of it today.

Good.

Now, if we could just arrange
to get a certain story

in the next edition
of the Daily Planet ...

That shouldn't be
too difficult.

Here's Lois Lane now. Look.

This is the biggest
miscarriage of justice--

Now, now, now,
Miss Lane,

you mustn't blame
the good inspector.

He's only doing
his duty.

And you must admit, on the face,
I look pretty guilty.

Now, that's ridiculous.

And everybody on the paper
is working hard to prove it.

Except Clark.

Nobody's been able
to find him.

Oh, I'm sure you'll find
he's doing the best he can.

But you can be of help
to me, Miss Lane.

Me? How?

Simply by publishing
a little squib to the effect

that the ball on the flagpole
in the new Chapman Building

is made of solid gold.

Solid gold?

"Solid gold."

Sixty pounds
of solid gold.

That's what it says.

And to top it off,
the famous Kuldesack diamond

is embedded
in the gold ball.

"Together, the gold ball
and the huge diamond

are worth a quarter
of a million dollars."

This can be our last job,
Pellini.

Except there's one thing
I'm not so happy about.

It also says an armed guard
is on duty 24 hours a day.

Don't worry about him.

Okay.

Then tonight,
right after the show.

And in the meanwhile,

I'll go look at the building,
the Chapman Building.

I always like to look
a building over in the daytime

before I try scaling it
at night.

Come on, Atlas.

One minute.

I don't like.

The gold ball and big diamond,

she don't belong to us.

Why we take?

Because Superman
and some of his crook friends

stole that stuff from a bunch
of widows and orphans.

And we're going to get it back
for those nice old ladies.

And those poor
little kids.

We nice fellas, huh?

The best, Atlas.
The very best.

Come on.

MAN:
Anybody home?

What do you want?

My name's Olsen.

I'm a reporter
for the Daily Planet.

So?
Um...

My paper's doing
a follow-up story

on what happens to performers
after the circus closes.

What happens to anybody
who loses his job?

He looks for another one.

Well, that's
the general idea.

But what kind of jobs
do they look for?

What do they get?

For instance, an escape artist
like Harman the Great,

what kind of a job
is he qualified for?

I am Harman the Great.

Really?

And this must be
your famous escape trunk.

No.
Wow.

I see can why you're not worried
about another job.

This is stage money
and phony jewelry.

It belongs
to Konko the clown.

It has your name on it.

Mr. Olsen...

you came here looking
for a story.

That's right.

I can give you a better story
than you figured on.

How would you like
to do a series

exposing all my famous escapes?

Oh, that'd be great.
But are you sure you wanna tell?

Well, the circus is closing.

I have no further use
for the tricks.

I'm sorry for that,
but it would be a great story.

Yeah, well, there's no use
beginning with the easy ones.

Locks, handcuffs,
everybody knows how to do those.

They do?

But what about my famous
trunk escape?

Would you like to know
how that's done?

Really?

Would you really show me
how to do that?

I sure will.

Do you remember
how it goes?

Sure.

They, uh-- They strap you
in a straitjacket,

lock you in a trunk,

and then lower the trunk
into a tank of water.

Precisely. Now, uh...

would you like to try this on
for size?

There. How does that feel,
Mr. Olsen?

Well, it's a little snug.

Good. Now the next step.

I will lock you in the trunk.

And as soon as I hit the--

But first, you ought to tell me
how to get out of this.

All in good time,
Mr. Olsen.

All in good time.

If you will
just step inside.

There, that's right.

Now, just bend down.

Here we are.

With Clark still missing,
we're a bit short-handed

on this "Flying Burglar" story.

Mr. Kent's trying
to get Jimmy,

take him off the feature
till Clark gets back.

What feature's that,
Miss Lane?

He's interviewing
the circus performers

to see what they're gonna do
when the circus closes.

Like the, oh, tattooed man
and the escape artist

and how they're gonna
make a living.

Well, I hope they don't
turn to crime.

My job is tough enough

without having
an escape artist in jail.

Escape artist.

Inspector, are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

I'm thinking I've already had
an escape artist in my jail.

That's right.

That's how all those safes
were opened so easily.

And those bent bars.

Atlas, the strong man.

And the 30-story work.

Pellini the Human Fly.

Well, how do you like that?

They took three men,
put them together

to make
one imitation Superman.

Hey, wait a minute.

Jimmy may be with them
right now.

I better go call the office.

Inspector, can you
get me out of here?

I'll get a court order
today.

No, wait a minute.
There may not be time for that.

Would you mind if I escaped?

I can't give you
my official permission.

But I can turn my back.

Thank you.
Jimmy might be in danger.

[AIR WHOOSHING]

[���]

Ready? It's time
to get going.

I'm ready.

Put that trunk in here,
will you, Atlas?

JIMMY:
Hey! You forgot to tell me
how to get out.

Huh?

I been in here for hours.

A nosey reporter.

Huh?

Oh, it's a new act
I'm working on, Atlas.

Ventriloquism.

I just I wanna see if I can
throw my voice underwater.

Put me down. Let me out of here.

You pretty good.
Yeah.

Just like inside.

Drop it in there,
and let's get going.

Now, we've got
a big job ahead of us.

There. Well, let's go.

Come on, Jimmy.

Superman.

How did you get yourself
in this one?

I was practicing
the underwater escape bit.

Yes, I can see that.

That's a dangerous thing
to fool with.

What do you mean?
I got out, didn't I?

So you did.
So you did.

Where's
Harman the Great?

I lost him in the shuffle.

I don't know where he went.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, I think I do.

I want you
to collect Miss Lane

and meet me at
the Chapman Building quickly

because I have a very good
story for you.

We'll be there.
Okay.

And there's not much
to all this.

[THUD]

You hit guard
pretty hard.

That's how you gotta
treat those crooks.

Remember the widows
and orphans?

Okay.

Now, you remember
how we work it?

Sure, sure.
Okay.

Good.

Now, as soon as I get down
the rope, you follow.

You sure you can make it
with that weight?

Oh, sure.

Atlas.

Superman. You supposed
to be in jail.

Well, you can see I'm here.

You used to be big hero.

Fine man.

Atlas try to be like you.

Now you crook.

Crook?

You steal gold and diamonds
from widows and orphans.

[GRUNTS]

Those two men
were fooling you, Atlas.

They're the crooks.

You no crook?
No.

Hold gold ball.
I go down rope.

I have strong talk
with them.

Oh, we can make it
quicker than that.

The fool! He dropped it.

And almost killed us.

We jump? Pretty far.

[LAUGHS]

Nothing to it.
Just hang on.

I fool all right.

Now I almost kill you.

[BOTH GRUNT]

JIMMY:
Got it.

That'll make a great picture
for the front page, Jim.

That is a good
picture, Olsen.

And partly on
the strength of it,

the police
have released Atlas.

Golly,
that's great.

So he can stay
with the circus.

And now that you've
recovered your money,

you won't have to
close your show.

Oh, I'm afraid it's not
that easy, ma'am.

Two of my star performers
turned out to be bad apples.

Show won't be much
without 'em.

Well, can't
they be replaced?

Well, sure. There are
a couple of great acts

I could get over
from Europe.

But by the time
I could manage it,

I couldn't make my play dates
I've contracted for.

Well, Mr. Dawson,
tell me, uh,

how much time
do you have?

Oh, couple of weeks.

What would you think
of Superman, uh,

as a replacement
for those new acts?

Well, he'd be the greatest
attraction imaginable,

but I hardly think he'd do it.

Oh, I think he will,
Mr. Dawson.

In fact, I can almost
assure you he will.

LOIS:
Golly, Clark,
won't that be wonderful,

seeing Superman
in a circus?

Hey, we can all
go together.

Oh, I'm sorry, Lois.
I forgot to--

You know, I'm going on
my vacation next week,

and I've already
made arrangements.

You know, Clark,
sometimes I think

you're jealous
of Superman.

Could be, Lois.

I never thought
of it before.

Could be.
