(Judge Cobb)
'To the charge of murder
in the first degree, guilty.'

Mr. Laderman, before this court
imposes a sentence

do you have anything to say?

I'm innocent, Your Honor.

It is the decision of this court

that Eugene Laderman
be immediately

transported to the Metropolis
maximum-security prison.

'There, to begin serving
a term of life'

without possibility...of parole.

'Next!'

[instrumental music]

(Lois)
'Don't tell me
what the rules are, Ben'

I've broken every one
of them before.

- I can't let you in there.
- But you know me.

I've been covering
this trial for months.

I just want one statement.
Just one little--

It's against the rules.

Are you a football fan?

It depends on where I'm sitting.

How about the 50-yard line?

Ten minutes.

[beeping]

[door unlocks]

[instrumental music]

Give me my tickets back.

[instrumental music]

[grunts]

- Dad?
- Clark?

Don't scare me like that.

Scare you? Are you kidding?

Sorry. But what happened
to the lights?

Uh, I don't know,
I think, I think a fuse blew.

[slams]

Phew.

Uh, take a seat, dad.

- I'll just, uh, go change.
- Hmm.

[whooshes]

Is everything okay at home?

No, son.

I think your mother is having
an affair with a younger man.

[chuckles]
Dad, that is ridiculous.

To top it off, he's an artist.

Dad, mom would never--

Now, I wanna show you this.
I wanna show you this.

I found it
in the barn...covered up.

He painted her.

If this isn't proof,
I don't know what is.

Dad, you said he was an artist.

There's nothing wrong with him
painting mom's portrait.

In the nude?

Mom?

[theme music]

[explodes]

[music continues]

[dramatic music]

- And when the door opened..
- He was gone.

He accessed the code from
the central courtroom computer.

The evidence room was broken
into and a gun is missing.

Detective Reed, I don't think--

You don't think, period!

And I'll be mentioning the fact
that you opened the door

to Miss Lane in my report.

It wasn't his fault,
I made him do it.

He wasn't following procedure.

You're free to go, for now.

Thank you.

[instrumental music]

Oh, great. Another ticket.

[engine starts]

Drive.

Eugene, what are you doing?

Just drive.

(Lois)
'This isn't gonna work, Eugene.
Everyone is looking for you.'

Now, give me the gun before
you get into any more trouble.

- I never would've.
- I know you wouldn't.

Miss Lane, you're the only one
I can turn to.

You know all the evidence
against me is circumstantial.

You know I didn't kill
Henry Harrison.

I believe you're innocent

but you're also
an escaped felon.

Now armed and dangerous.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

Except, I have to see Lena.
Something's wrong.

She didn't look at me
during the trial.

She never visited me in jail.

But you were just convicted
for killing her husband.

But she loves me.

And I love her.

Please, I have to talk to her.

Help me.

[Clark grunts]

Dad, it's 5:30.

Oh, sorry. Uh..

I guess I'm used to getting up
with the chickens.

Is the couch okay?

Yeah, sure. Fine.

I guess I'm also not used
to sleeping without your mother.

So what's for breakfast?

Ham and eggs, hash browns.

You want some hotcakes, too?

No, dad, this is fine.

[both chuckle]

Ooh! Whew!

Where's your potholder?

I never need one, dad.

(Jonathan)
'Thanks, Clark.'

[grunting]

Dad, it's gonna be okay,
I promise.

Are you sure you don't
want me to call mom?

She knows where I am.

What did she say when you left?

We had a big fight.

About the painting?

Yeah, and him.

[telephone ringing]

Hello.

Oh, hi, mom.

How are you?

Oh, no, he's fine.

Yeah, we're just
having breakfast.

Yeah.

Oh, really? When?

Okay, great.
I'll see you then.

Well, what did she say?

Well, not much.

She says she wants
to talk to you in person.

- Ah!
- She's coming in.

- Tonight?
- No, day after tomorrow.

Oh, well, she probably
doesn't wanna

miss her life drawing class.

(Perry)
Lois, are you doing a follow-up
on the Eugene Laderman escape?

Lois, are you, uh, with us here?

Uh, yeah.
I'm on it, chief.

- You upset over the verdict?
- 'The man is innocent.'

He is no more a killer
than I am.

Well, wait a minute. The man
signed a confession, didn't he?

He was under duress
when he signed it

and his attorney
wasn't even present.

Lois, the man shot his boss,
then set fire to the room

to try to hide the evidence.

Fingerprint's on the gun

his clothes had
Harrison's blood on them

not to mention,
he and Harrison's wife

were doing the deed.

Jimmy, it's okay
to have an affair

if your husband's
a brutal sociopath.

No, it's not.
It's not okay.

Assuming it's true.

What's true?

That they're having an affair.

Well, you know,
when Priscilla left Elvis

February of '72,
she went straight into the arms

of Mike Stone,
her karate instructor.

- Also married.
- Forgive me, chief.

I'm just not in the mood
for another Elvis yarn.

Wait. You're not in the mood
for an Elvis yarn?

Chief, Eugene and Lena--

Speak of the devil.

I'm very worried.

I haven't heard from him.

Eugene wrote me,
told me how much he trusted you.

You were the only one
who believed in him.

(Lois)
What can we do for you?

They'll find him.

They'll track him down
and kill him.

My husband..

...was a violent and cruel man.

There were, there were nights..

...so many nights
that I thought, God forgive me

if only he were dead
then Eugene and I..

He did it for me.

Lois, can I see you
for a minute?

I have to be going anyway.

Detective Reed.

Miss Lane.

Lena Harrison have anything
interesting to say?

She's just worried about Eugene.

Wants us to write a story
telling him to turn himself in.

Good idea.

We've been telling her
since last night.

No sign of Eugene?

Oh, no, a fugitive
still at large.

Detective, is there anything
specific we can help you with?

Well, no. Not really.

It just seemed to me
that during the trial

Miss Lane and the escaped felon
became, well, friendly like.

I'm a journalist.
I covered the trial.

I was just wondering
if you had information

as to the whereabouts
of Mr. Laderman.

He hasn't called you, has he?

No, he hasn't called me.

Well, just in case he does,
do give me a call, will you?

And don't worry, Miss Lane

I brought him in once,
I'll do it again.

[instrumental music]

Tell me the biggest secret
you have.

What?

Tell me the biggest secret
you have.

Something you've never revealed.

- To another soul.
- Why?

'Cause I'm about to tell you
the biggest one I have

and I need blackmail material.

- I can't.
- Spill it.

Okay.

The truth is
that my mother might be

having an affair
with a younger man.

- Not big enough.
- What?

My parents have been married
for almost 30 years, Lois.

Okay. What I'm about to tell you
cannot be repeated.

- Swear it.
- I swear.

On the lives
of your future grandchildren.

Okay.

And no matter what I tell you

you can't do anything about it.

Got it.

Eugene Laderman is hiding out
in my apartment.

(Lois)
What are you doing?

You are calling the police.

- You swore!
- Lois!

On the lives of your
future grandchildren.

Lois, you cannot make me swear
to something that's illegal.

You are harboring a fugitive.
A murderer.

The man is dangerous. He killed
Harrison and he could kill you.

He's innocent.

He was tried and convicted
by a jury of his peers.

Oh, leave the truth and justice
stuff to Superman, would you?

See, I knew
I shouldn't have told you.

But you're my partner.

Right?

When it's convenient
for you, yes.

Come to my apartment.
Talk to Eugene.

If you still think
that he's a murderer

then you can call the police.

Deal?

Yeah.

(Clark)
'You were having an argument
the day before he was killed.'

- That's true, but it doesn't--
- You admit that you hated him.

(Eugene)
'It was the way
he treated Lena.'

You were having an affair
with his wife.

It wasn't an affair.
We were in love.

But Lena didn't wanna..

...consummate until--

- Until you killed him.
- No.

Until she left him.

You didn't know him.

Lena would come to work
with bruises on her.

Tell Clark about Henry.

He developed his own software
and started his own company

after he got fired from LexCom.

He worked for Lex Luthor?

For 20 years.
He was a loose canon.

'One day, I found a new program
he was working on'

"The Ides of Metropolis."

When he discovered I'd seen it,
he went berserk

threatening me,
threatening Lena.

Why didn't Lena testify

as a witness
for the prosecution?

(Eugene)
She was subpoenaed.
She had to tell the truth.

And the truth was

there was no way she could prove
I didn't kill her husband.

Well, she thinks you did it.
She said so today.

You saw Lena?

I'm gonna make some coffee.

- Make the call.
- Clark, I can't do that.

Lois, we had a deal.

I have not heard a single thing

that makes me think
this guy is less guilty

or less of a threat to you.

Please, I am sure about this.

You are always sure.

Two days. 48 hours.

The man is about to go to prison
for the rest of his life.

Eugene, what is it?

Lena told you
that I killed Henry?

She said you did it for her.

[instrumental music]

Lena's right about one thing.

I did do it for her.

- You killed Harrison?
- 'No.'

Originally I confessed.

Then later I refused to take
the stand to...protect her.

She's the one who did it.

She killed her husband.

No one knew Mr. Harrison
better than I did.

I was his personal secretary
for 15 years.

He was a genius, you know?

We interviewed several people
that say he was also a tyrant.

He had a company to run.

It wasn't easy starting
his own line of software

and then to find out
that Lena and Eugene were..

He didn't deserve
to be two-timed.

There's some evidence
that indicates

Harrison was abusive
towards his wife.

Nonsense! He loved her.

He would never touch a hair
on her head.

I-in his will he left her
everything, all the stocks--

The debts?

Oh, that's not fair.

All these accusations
against Mr. Harrison.

He's not here to defend himself.

No, he's not.

- Well, thank you for your time.
- You're welcome.

Uh, look, I know it's your
business to dig around

looking for new angles
on stories

but Eugene Laderman
killed Mr. Harrison.

That's the real truth.

(Luthor)
Pull.

[gunshot]

Yes, excellent shot, sir.

[telephone ringing]

Yes? Right.

Ms. Lane and Mr. Kent are here.

Oh, good. Well, show them in.

Do come in.

Welcome!

[gunshot]

What happens if you miss?

That's an interesting question,
Mr. Kent.

Well, let's see. This clay
pigeon weighs two ounces.

We're on the 110th floor

approximately 1500 feet
from street level.

Considering the G-force
and the speed

if this object
hits some hapless passerby

it would strike at the speed
of about 200 miles per hour.

Well, my guess
is that it would kill

unfortunately, him or her,
instantly.

I never miss.

Lois.

- Nice to see you.
- Oh.

Nice to see you, too, Lex.

Please, come in.

Yeah, about Henry Harrison..

Yes, when I received your call

I requested the head of LexCom
personnel to pull his file.

I'm afraid there's not much
there to help you.

- Did you know him personally?
- Oh, yes, I..

Well, he was quite an ambitious

and talented man
when I hired him.

He was an original thinker,
ahead of his time.

Is it true he was fired
less than a month

before he was
eligible to retire

with a full pension?

Yes, when we
downsized the company

during the recession, hundreds
of employees were forced out.

We did our best
to relocate them.

Henry wanted to be his own boss.

Still, it's a shame
about the murder.

Now, have they
caught the man yet?

No, not yet.

Lois?

Is there some doubt in your mind
as to this man's guilt?

Yes, a great deal of doubt.

Thanks for your help.

Nigel.

The technicians at LexCom..

...are they still having
that same problem

with the computer slowing down?

I believe so, sir.

Hmm.

You'd better get me
LexCom internal security.

(Jimmy)
'So I followed her
to the Lexor Hotel.'

Wait till you see this.

(Lois)
'I don't believe this.'

- Jimmy.
- I-I got distracted.

(Lois)
'How did you get this?
And what about Reed?'

'Weren't her men
tailing Lena as well?'

(Jimmy)
'Two guys in a car in front
of the hotel, some stakeout.'

Uh, so much
for the grieving widow.

(Jimmy)
'Mm-hmm.'

Now what?

Dad, I think getting in shape
is a great idea

but you're doing it
for the wrong reasons.

Now, if you wanna feel better,
that's one thing

but I think mom loves you
just the way you are.

(female #1)
'Hi, guys.'

First time here?
Can I, uh, show you around?

Uh, thanks, anyway,
but I pretty well

know my way around the gym.

I..

...could use a few pointers.

Great. Why don't we
start off over here?

Okay, dad, just a few light reps
and then we hit the showers.

- Over here.
- Yup.

Hey. That's my machine.

Uh, I didn't see
anyone using it.

Everyone knows
I use this machine

at this time every day.

So buzz off, four-eyes.
And take grandpa with you.

- Come on, son.
- Dad! No, no, no, dad.

We'll wait.

Ah, it might be a while, yeah

'cause once I start pumping..

...hard to stop.

- Really?
- Yeah.

[grunting]

[grunting]

[grunting]
The stinking machine's broken!

Really? I don't know.
Here, dad, jump in.

- Oh.
- And show him how it's done.

Just, uh, grab these grips here.

- Right.
- Breathe in.

And when you exhale, push up.

(Jonathan)
'Exhale, push up.'

'Ooh.'

Here you go.

[grunting]

Uh, okay, dad. Okay. Okay.

Once he gets pumping, it's hard
for him to stop, you know?

- Uh, Jonathan?
- Hmm?

Would you like to spot me?

Spot you?

Sure.

[keyboard keys clacking]

I've straightened out
your files, Lois

gave you a simpler directory.

You..

Those are personal files!

I have a password!

I know. Superman.

It wasn't too tough
to figure out.

Eugene, let's go over

what happened
the day of Harrison's death.

Well, it's like I said,
I found this new program

he was working on.

Henry asked how much
of the program I'd seen.

Suddenly he was screaming at me

saying that I had
stolen his wife

'and now,
The Ides Of Metropolis.'

And I started
yelling back at him.

I said I'd kill him if..

...if he hurt Lena again.

[knocking on door]

- It's Reed.
- How do you know?

Well, that was a,
a police kind of knock.

Quick, into the bedroom.

Oh, uh..

I have a warrant
to search the premises.

My apartment? Are you crazy?

I don't think so.

Call me wild, call me crazy

but I have a hunch
that you are hiding something

or someone.

Why don't you just
have a seat right here

on that couch, Ms. Lane?

This won't hurt much and, uh,
it'll be over real soon.

[instrumental music]

[shuddering]

Nice jacket.

[scoffs]

(male #1)
'No sign of him, Detective Reed.
Not in here, ma'am.'

I am sorry
to have bothered you, Ms. Lane.

It appears that, uh, I was
mistaken for the time being.

Eugene didn't kill Harrison.

Well, do tell.

Lena Harrison
killed her husband.

Interesting theory.

Unfortunately, at the precise
time of Harrison's death

Lena was at a neighborhood
watch meeting.

She was seen
by at least 20 people

who positively identified her.

Reed.

Why would a man set fire
to the room with the body in it

to destroy the evidence

and then wait for the police
to show up?

Goodnight, Ms. Lane.

Make sure you lock
the, uh, door and windows

before you go to bed.

We got an escaped killer
on the loose.

Lois, what happened?

- What did Reed say?
- Oh, not much.

(Lois)
'Just that Lena Harrison
has an ironclad alibi'

for the night
of her husband's death.

[instrumental music]

Clark, men and women
lie to each other all the time.

It's a national pastime. I mean,
sometimes it's okay to lie.

It's never okay.

So you're saying
you will never lie to your wife?

That is, assuming
someone is crazy enough

to actually say, "I do" to you.

- That's right.
- Transfer me to who?

No, I've been holding
for ten minutes. I don't want..

Ah..

- Alright. Here's the scene.
- Yes, I can hold, sure.

Your wife has spent the entire
day at the beauty parlor.

She's dyed her hair red

cut it all off
just to please you

only, it looks ghastly.

She comes home,
you open the door

and she's standing there
all hopeful

"Honey, do you like it?"

What do you do?

My wife would know that I loved
her just the way she was.

Why would she dye her hair red?

Oh, that is just..

[Perry clears throat]

Okay, I'd tell her the truth,
that I loved her

and that I liked her hair better
the way it was before

but that if she's happy,
then that's the important thing.

No, I don't wanna
leave a message.

I already left one. Never mind.

Poor woman.

- Who?
- Your wife.

She's married to Mr. Right,
Mr. Always Right.

Uh, Lois. Clark.

A moment of your time, please.

Is there...something

the two of you wanna tell me?

No. Not really, chief.

Are you sure there's nothing

you wanna get off your...chest

or, uh, chests?

Well..

...we'd like to tell you, chief

but, uh...we can't.

It's better this way.

Better off not knowing, chief.

It's a little late for that.

- I know.
- You know?

What exactly do you know?

You know..

...about him, where he is.

- Oh, s-so you do know.
- How do you know?

It's better you don't know

but..

...I don't know officially.

'But then
if a man in my position'

didn't know unofficially..

...I wouldn't be a man
in my position.

So...now that you know

uh, unofficially

are you gonna tell anyone
that you, you know, know?

No. I just wanted you to know.

Oh. Well, thank you, sir.

I-I feel much better
knowing that you know.

Me, too.

There is something
you should know, though.

What's that?

The minute
you step outside that door

I no longer know.

And I don't wanna know..

...anything else..

...worth knowing..

...in the future.

[door shuts]

[door opens]

Thank God, you're back,
you told me

not to use the phone or go out.

So I had no way to contact you.

- What happened?
- Nothing happened.

It's what's going to happen,
I think.

All the programs on your
computer were sluggish today

so I tapped
into the Daily Planet Bank.

Their systems
are slowed down, too.

Eugene, there are
more important things going on

than a temporary
computer slowdown.

That file that Henry
was working on

it wasn't a program,
it was a virus

'a virus designed to destroy'

all other software programs

a polymorphic encrypted virus.

Well, that makes sense.

the man was about
to lose everything.

Why not take everyone's system

'down with you?'

Can a virus just start up

without the programmer there
to initiate it?

Maybe, if it has some kind
of doomsday code on it.

How bad could this virus
make things?

[chuckles]
In a nation entirely dependent
on computers

it could mean disaster.

The banks, the stock exchange

air traffic control

even our nuclear missiles.
They're all run by computers.

What can we do?

- You've to break me into M.U.T.
- M.U.T.?

Metropolis University
of Technology.

I need a powerful central
computer system to work off of.

I have to find the antidote.

I teach a class there,
my students can help.

(Nigel)
Security has confirmed
your suspicions.

There is a virus.

[scoffs]

See? No one is invulnerable.

No system is guaranteed secure.

At no time in history

has the power
of one destructive individual

been so amplified.

It is the ultimate..

...terrorism.

You know, I've often wondered
what would it be like..

...if our entire
infrastructure..

...dissolved.

Well, perhaps we are too, um..

...dependent?

Perhaps, you know,
I've never thought of myself

as dependent
on anyone or anything

but I'm a slave.

Nigel, like you,
like everyone else..

...I'm a slave

to the systems we create.

'What would it be like, a world
without Luthor Technologies'

'no Luthor Industries'

no Luthor Communications?

Could I weather it, Nigel?

It might be for the best.

I could get back to nature

buy a pair of hiking boots

get in my car,
a car without a driver

'and drive as far as I could..'

...before I fell off the edge
of the world.

'Could I?'

Would I?

I think..

...not.

Yes. Quite right.

- Mom!
- Hi, honey.

Hi.

Where's your father?

Uh, he went to the store.

You're here early.

Is he alright?

Yeah, he's fine, mom

but...I'm not so sure I am.

Dad thinks
that you're having an affair

with that
artist teacher of yours.

- Is that true?
- Clark.

There are things that happen

between man and woman

between husband and wife

that you have yet to experience.

Mom, what are you saying?

Hey, Clark, I found the peonies!

Your mother
always loved peoni..

...peonies.

Are those for me?

There's no one else.

For me, either, Jonathan.

- Oh, is that true, Martha?
- Yes!

You're the first man I ever
kissed and you'll be the last.

So no affair?

Well, unless you call two cups
of coffee at Mazzy's an affair.

Oh, Martha,
I should never have doubted you.

- I know you too well.
- Yes!

And you should also know

that just because I may qualify

for membership
with the Gray Panthers

'that doesn't mean
I'm slowing down.'

And it doesn't mean
that I have to stop growing

and experimenting and thinking

and making friends
with interesting people.

Well, uh, I just hope I can
keep up with you, Martha.

[sighs]
You don't have to.

Just understand me
like you always have.

Just be there for me..

...like I know you always will.

- Oh..
- Oh.

[indistinct]

[Martha chuckles]

[dramatic music]

[computer beeping]

[door opens]

You dug up
Henry Harrison's body?

I dug up a body,
but it wasn't Harrison's.

Well, if the body found
in the generator room

wasn't Harrison, who was it?

A homeless man who lived
in the generator room

in Harrison's building.

His family
had reported him missing.

It seemed he called them once
a week. Dental records matched.

Why weren't these checked
at the trial?

They were. There was a match.

Well, how is that possible?

Computer records
can be falsified

especially by computer experts.

Besides,
Lena identified the body.

So Eugene
was telling the truth.

You can
call your manhunt off now.

I got a dead body on my hands
and Harrison's still missin'.

For all we know, Eugene Laderman
might have killed two men.

- You can't be serious.
- I got a job to do.

Maybe he did it,
maybe he didn't

but right now,
I intend to bring him in

by any means necessary.

Lois, Clark, check this out!

I'm trying to get in
and do a spell check

and...look at this.

[indistinct chattering]

What is this?

[laughs]

[explosion]

[laughing]

The Ides Of Metropolis
appeared this morning

on the screens
of over a million computers.

And with its arrival,
came a catastrophe

'of unparalleled proportion.'

'World financial markets
are collapsing.'

'Banks and other
financial institutions'

have closed their doors,
creating a mass panic.

'Doctors are performing
emergency surgeries'

'under war-zone conditions.'

'Airports are shutting down.'

'Several near misses
have already been reported.'

Nothing seems to have escaped
this deadly virus

with no end in sight.

Great shades of Elvis!

'The army and navy
are on full tactic alert.'

You got that right.

(Lois)
What exactly
are we looking for?

An entry code so we can analyze
the virus and find a cure.

I've tried all the ones
Henry ever used

every member of his
immediate family, etc.

Now we're trying
number combinations.

What about the name
of the program

The Ides Of Metropolis?

'Ides refers to the 15th day
of certain months.'

I've tried some
letter-number combinations

using that factor but so far--

What about
the dramatic reference?

"Julius Caesar,"
"Beware of the Ides of March."

We'll give it a try.

[keyboard keys clacking]

[beeps]

(Lois)
'The play is about conspiracy'

politics, traitors.

Maybe there's
some other connection.

Police!
Step aside from the desk.

Laderman,
down and kiss the floor.

(Lois)
'No, you can't.'

Eugene's working on the antidote

for the computer virus,
he may be close.

He's the only one who can do it.

[beeping]

[grunting]

(male #1)
'Detective, you alright?'

Are you ladies finished?

Yeah. We are.

Mr. Law And Order.

Oh.

Don't you see what's going on?

I mean, haven't you
read the news?

Eugene may be our only hope.

He worked under Harrison.

He saw Harrison
develop the computer virus.

He's the only one
that can find the antidote.

For God's sake, let him try!

Alright, stay here.

Don't let anyone
in or out of this room.

- 'Where are you going?'
- Harritech.

I followed Lena there
last night.

'She's got
some explaining to do.'

I'm going with ya.

[instrumental music]

[beeping]

Good evening,
Ms. Lane, Ms. Reed.

Permit me to introduce myself.

I'm Henry Harrison.

(Lois)
So you were in on it all along?

Of course.

I believe in marital fidelity.

What about your loyalty
to Eugene? He loved you.

Oh, yes. Poor Eugene.

Now, I thought the legal process
would finish him off.

Now, I'll just have
to do it myself.

- Why?
- I can answer that.

Harritech was about to fail.

His virus would make all other
software systems obsolete.

(Harrison)
That's quite correct, Ms. Lane.

Billions of dollars
were at stake.

I needed to disappear
beyond suspicion

like, dead.

And, uh, Eugene
was the perfect foil.

Forgive the cliché

but you're not gonna
get away with it.

Eugene is working
on the antidote as we speak.

Well, that really
doesn't matter, Ms. Lane..

...because within the hour

every computer system in
the country will be shut down.

The nuclear missiles?

Please, Ms. Lane,
give me a little credit.

Surely you don't think
I'd destroy

all those potential customers.

Of course, a few shutdowns
here and there

medical facilities,
control towers

automated machinery.

You know, there are
bound to be a few glitches.

[beeping]

- I can get you a deal.
- I doubt that very much.

So what are you gonna do now?
Kill us?

[keyboard keys clacking]

Got it! Lois was right.
The play is the thing.

"Et tu, Brute."
That's the password.

Uh, what now?

[keyboard keys clacking]

By our calculations

in order for the virus
to reach full distribution

it has to pass through
these three centers.

So we contact the centers

and have them apply
the antidote? No?

It has to be done
on the premises.

We have to manually insert
this antidote disk

in each of the centers.

Well, how much time do we have?

None, by the time
we'd fly them there

it might be too late.

The virus has already
penetrated the network.

I know a way.

[Lois groaning]

Aah!

[dramatic music]

- Great, now you've done it!
- Me?

You're the one who said

"What are you gonna do now?
Kill us?"

They teach you that
in journalism school?

Well, I suppose
you called for backup

told them to come in
in ten minutes

if we didn't get out.

Did they teach you that
in detective school?

[instrumental music]

[train honking]

[beeps]

- Yes! That's one, that's one.
- That's one.

Come on. Come on.

What is this place, anyway?

How do you get that
to do that like that?

- What?
- Your hair.

You know, the bounce thing
when you turn your head.

I don't know. It just does it.

Like that.

[chuckles]

I wish I could get my nails

to look like yours.

Oh, you can, $1.98 at LexSave.

Get out of here.

They look so real!

(Harrison)
Go into
the sub routines, okay?

Right.

Now, let me write
some new codes.

[instrumental music]

(Eugene)
'Come on, come on. Get to..'

Whoo! He did it.
Please, please, please.

It must be tough
being a reporter

especially for a woman.

Hmm, not any tougher
than being a detective.

It's a boy's club.

Oh, tell me about it.

[alarm blaring]

Find a brace, anything.

Oh, here..

That's good, put it right here.

Oh! It's no use.

What does the manual say to do
at a time like this?

[both screaming]

- Is it in C?
- I don't know.

My L.A.N. isn't talking.

Should I reboot?

Please, please, please.

[screaming]

Somebody help us!

- Come on, come on.
- I can't crack it back in.

'It-it's debugging.'

No!

[groaning]

Oh, my nail!

[instrumental music]

Yahoo! Yes!

I can't believe it.
Thank God.

- 'Overtype the base.'
- 'Uh-huh.'

(Harrison)
'Okay, now go back.'

'Into the operating system.'

Alright.

'Maybe it's collapsed'

'into another subdirectory.'

(Harrison)
'Scroll down.'

'Check each
of the pathways, okay?'

(Lena)
'Right.'

[gunshot]

Okay, boys and girls,
the fun's over.

You're under arrest.

'You have the right
to remain silent.'

'Anything you say or do'

'can and will be used'

'as evidence against you and..'

(Luthor)
Pull!

[gunshot]

You know, it is amazing,
all things considered

LexCorp came through
this computer virus

relatively unscathed.

Well, yes.

Tragedy averted for now.

- For now?
- Well, yes.

You never know

when another virus might hit

one that has no code

or no code that could be broken.

Yes, I suppose so.

What a horrible
and desperate act.

'Utterly unthinkable.'

- Unless--
- Unless it belongs to me.

Pull!

[gunshot]

Oops.

Nigel.

- Call the lawyers.
- The lawyers.

Yes. Right away, sir.

Lois, this is a great story.

Eugene Laderman's a free man,
thanks to you.

Thanks, chief.

And thanks for not
blowing the whistle on us.

Well, I'm not
much of a whistleblower.

Well...go ahead. I'm waiting.

- For what?
- The morality play.

The you-should-have-
trusted-me

and-my-infallible-
reporter's-instinct lecture.

Clark, you don't need me
to remind you

of your shortcomings.

I would've thought,
by now they'd be obvious.

Come on. I'm starving
and you're buying.

And just in case

you did miss
the moral to the story..

Thank you.

You should trust
what's in people's hearts

not just the facts, ma'am.

Ah.

[giggles]

You know, I have a funny feeling

that you didn't tell me
your biggest secret.

Well, just to put
your little mind at ease

Lois...you're right.
