All language subtitles for 033 - Aos

Faster than a speeding bullet.

More powerful than a locomotive.

Able to leap tall buildings at a single
bound.

Look, up in the sky, it's a bird. It's a
plane.

It's Superman.

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.

It's out of control.

And building in intensity every second.

Gentlemen, we've got to stop it. For
Metropolis and every living thing within

a hundred miles is doomed.

Yes, we've got to stop it. But how?

Mechanically, it's very simple.

All we have to do is to take the center
control rod and insert it in aperture B

-74 to neutralize the chain reaction.

The trick is to get close enough to that
master to do it without... Without

dying. That's right, Fred.

But still, I have to try it. Not you,
Professor Adams.

I'm in charge here. It's my
responsibility. But you're too

important. Let me.

Well, at least let me go in there with
you. That way, if my body can protect

yours, we can get close enough to it and
have you do it.

All right.

Allen, get on the shortwave radio and
alert all police, military, and civil

defense. If we fail in this, Metropolis
must be evacuated at once.

Yes, sir.

Project X calling civil defense.

Project X calling civil defense.

Come in, civil defense.

It is I, in the midst of this dull
afternoon, I've brought you the greatest

story of the century. Commit me, my
card, Joseph Ferdinand, public

relations. I don't understand what
you're talking about.

You are no doubt Mr. Clark Kent, or
perhaps Miss Lois Lane.

No, I'm not Mr. Kent, or Miss Lane
either. I'm Jim Olsen, and I'm busy.

Do you have something more important?

Nothing is more important than the crown
jewels of my so beautiful country.

I'm sorry, but I can't afford to buy any
crown jewels today.

Buy? I'm not selling. I merely spread
the enormous news that these beautiful

jewels are to be exhibited here in your
so charming city.

Oh, I see. You're a press agent.

You got the wrong department.

Excuse me, Mr. Kent. Miss Lane, I
presume.

Be quiet.

Stand by all channels.

Relay us.

Police channels, stand by.

Prepare to evacuate the city.

Stand by all channels.

Mr. Kent, what's going on here? Just a
minute, Jimmy.

The professor's coming out of the main
chamber now. Hold it.

We'll still have it straight from him in
a minute.

I'm sure when you hear the importance of
my source... Professor,

do you have it under control?

Control? No, I'm afraid not. Harris is
still in there.

Dead, perhaps.

The nuclear pile is running wild.

This is an emergency of the gravest
nature.

Huh?

And you thought you had a story.

You just heard what the professor said.
There may be an explosion at any moment.

Worse than a hundred atom bombs.

Let me try and help you, Professor. It's
no use, Alan. You'd never get out

yourself. Anyway, we're all doomed.

Look!

Superman! Show me what to do, Professor.

I'm afraid even you can't stop this
terrible thing, but if you can remove

the center rod from the center aperture
and insert it in aperture B-74, that's

this one, it might just work.

If you can reach the pile.

I can try.

He's still alive Getting behind a lead
shield in the decontamination chamber,

but don't expose yourself.

He's loaded with gamma rays

He's got it.

He's got it.

Attention, civil events.

Sound the oil clear. The danger from the
nuclear pile has been brought under

control.

Superman! Superman!

Stand

back,

everyone.

Get me a Geiger counter.

But, Superman, we want to thank you.

Millions of lives were saved thanks to
you.

Get me a Geiger counter.

Do as he says.

Yes, sir.

Professor, if there had been an
explosion, that radiation would have

been spread all over, wouldn't it? Yes,
that's true.

Now it simply can't happen.

But it's new, isn't it?

And you haven't quite figured on how to
handle it, have you?

The radiation?

No. That's why we started to break up
the pile the moment we discovered it.

It's too dangerous.

Anything contaminated may stay that way
forever.

You see?

The terrific power of the radiation
seems to have become concentrated in me.

No. It can't be.

Your whole body radioactive forever.

Jimmy, I'm going home. You be sure and
call me if anything happens.

Yes?

Yes.

Well, hurry up and put him on.

Hey, Miss Lane, it's you.

Miss Lane.

Who, our wandering boy?

Mr. Kent.

I'll hurry it up, operator, will you?
All right, don't fall off your chair.

Sure, we're waiting.

Here, let me take it.

Well, well, well, Mr. Kent.

And what air raid shelter have you been
hiding in?

Yes, Clark, we know all about it. We've
already put out an extra on it.

Surprise!

Clark, it's horrible, isn't it? That
radioactivity is all through him. He

could bring death to anyone who comes
near.

Clark, wait.

Where have you been?

What? Where are you calling from?

Well, it's a phone. Sort of in the
country.

But, Lois, why shouldn't I be in the
country?

I'm just trying to follow Superman and
find out about him.

Yes, but he's gone up in the mountains
somewhere.

Clark, I know that. Everybody knows it.
He told Professor Adams he was going to

get away from people.

Jeepers, what's wrong?

Clark, speak louder.

This connection is... Operator.

Oh.

Isn't it funny the way Mr. Kent
disappeared today just before Superman

showed up out there and saved everybody?

What?

Clark, what's the matter with you? Why
did you call?

Lois, I told you.

I just called to tell you I won't be
coming back for a while.

No, I don't know when.

It'll be longer than that, I'm afraid.

Much longer.

Lois, maybe I shouldn't have called you
at all.

Clark, what... What kind of a story
could possibly keep you away?

Clark, you haven't said anything yet
except about Superman.

Lois, I'll just have to write you a
letter or something about it.

I can't explain it to you now. I'm
sorry.

Goodbye.

Operator. He was just talking and...
From where?

He did.

No, never mind.

Jimmy, he was calling from near Blue
Peak, the same place where Super... Oh,

no, he just couldn't be.

Just the same. The next time Mr. Kent's
around, I'd sure like to put a Geiger

counter on him. Then we'd find out if
he's Superman.

That's what makes me wonder. Maybe you
can't.

Huh?

Clark says he can't come back. And why
can't he unless... Unless he's Superman.

Here I am. It is I one side, young man.

Who is it, Skinny?

Oh, it's you again.

Precisely. The name is Ferdinand.

Now, Mr. Egan, regarding the crown
jewels my country is sending for an

exhibition... Throw them out. What?

Come on, press agent.

But I've told you of the value.

I've told you. I was handling all of the
arrangements.

Don't argue with the man. Yes, I've even
told the papers. The jewels are arriving

by ship. When they are not, they will be
here tomorrow night by a special plane,

and I'm the welcoming committee.

I told you, I don't want to handle a job
that big. Not in this town. It's too

dangerous. Besides, here in Metropolis,
we got a great big guy named Superman.

But haven't you even seen this?

It's like I told you, Mr. Ferdinand. I
like to play it safe.

And the man doesn't want to read the
paper. Now, come on.

Hold it, Skinny.

Let him go.

Exile.

Self-imposed banishment to Mount Blue
Peak in order not to...

and danger other human beings.

How much did you say those crown jewels
were worth?

A king's ransom.

Now, here's the way I thought we should
handle it.

Your friend Skinny here can fly a plane,
you see. Yeah, yeah, don't worry about

it. We'll take care of it, or what do
you know, at last.

Well, it looks like there'll be a hot
time in Old Metropolis in more ways than

one from now on. Yes, sir. With Superman
stuck up on a hill and out of our hair.

Superman, how did it work?

Did it get rid of the radioactivity?

Oh, which one, Professor?

Hmm? Oh, the grounding in the iron ore?

Well, I found a deposit. I drove right
straight through it.

I can't tell you. Just a moment.

No, Professor Adams, I'm afraid you'd
better try something else.

All right, all right.

I've got more faith in the acid idea
anyway.

We'll parachute drop a tank of the
solution to you in the morning.

This may be the neutralizing agent that
will do the trick.

Yes, I've read all the books you sent
me.

Oh, that reminds me.

You're getting your papers, aren't you?

Have you noticed how the crime situation
in Metropolis has increased?

Well, of course I've noticed.

What can I do about it when everyone I
go near is threatened with the same

radiation? I have the best research men
in the country working on your problem.

We'll find a solution if there is one.

All right.

Goodbye.

Superman, I have received a reply from
Dr. Fisher in Vienna.

His theory is that some kind of
counteracting shock might do the trick.

But there would have to be a way to
carry the energy off.

But what kind of energy would do it?

He doesn't know, and frankly, neither do
I.

Pardon me, Miss Lane. What? It is I.
They said you would work late tonight.

So it struck me like a brick that here
was the way to have proper coverage for

the arrival of my country's jewels.

The feature editor will take care of
that story.

But, Miss Lane... He's already assigned
a photographer to meet the steamship.

Don't worry.

There's a secret.

You can have a scoop.

The exhibit is arriving in half an hour
on a special plane.

The story will be all yours if you come
with me to meet it.

Oh, it's just not that important a
story.

Oh, I'm sorry. That's not true.

I'm worried about something else
that's... Well...

Job's a job, I guess.

Let's go.

Here they come.

These are some guards I hired, Miss
Lane, just for safety.

These jewels are worth a great fortune,
you know. Oh.

Miss Lois has been worrying about
Superman.

So am I.

Superman can prevent a lot of crimes,
even if he is radioactive.

I don't understand.

He means like if somebody tried to
hijack an airplane, lady.

Maybe in a case like that, Superman
wouldn't care if people got hurt with

that radiation stuff of his.

I still don't understand.

What I mean is maybe Superman wouldn't
worry if it was only crooks that might

get that radioactive stuff of his on
him.

What's he talking about?

I'm just trying to play it safe.

Now, Superman wouldn't bother a hijacked
plane if any of his friends happened to

be on it. Now, would he, Miss Lane?

There, Gagger.

What? When?

It was on the radio.

They shot one of the real airport
guards.

Are you sure that Miss Lane was with
them? That's what it said.

The moment the plane landed, they hauled
the pilot out and took over.

right in the middle of the crowded
airport.

And they were back in the air again
within two minutes.

What can I do about it?

If I even touch that plane, everyone on
it might be affected.

Why don't you relax?

Come on, sit down.

Here.

I guess you can make all the noise you
want now.

Would you like to drive one of these on?

You might as well get used to it.

You want us to treat you nicely, don't
you, when we get out of the country?

Get in.

Just a little storm we've got to get
through, that's all.

In fact, it's good.

Make it harder for them to track us.

And now, the nightly weather report.

Storm warnings and a probable
thundershower for you farmers of the

region beyond.

the Blue Mountain region building up the
heaviest pressure.

Lightning and immoderate rainfall
expected before the storm passes.

Stay tuned to this station for the
latest news and weather reports.

A contracting shock of some kind.

Nothing to worry about.

What is it? I don't know.

Feels like the tail.

If you're going to crash, shut up!

Do something. Shut up, I said.

There's an emergency field near here.

We'll be all right.

We'll just land and check it, that's
all.

There's a dump of an operation shack
over there. See if they got a telephone

so you can call a mechanic.

Okay, okay.

I think we'd better stay right here,
Miss Lane. If we're too long, we will

continue our little trip.

Sorry, mister, but I'm afraid your
little trip is over.

Now, just take it real easy.

Nothing's gonna happen.

You all right, Miss Lane? How do you
know who I am?

He told me.

Guess he gave you a pretty rough ride,
huh?

Who told you? Who gave us a rough ride?

Why, Superman.

Superman? Skinny! Never mind him,
mister. My men have got him already.

Come on, let's go.

Superman. So that's who it was. That's
right, Miss Lane. He gave me a phone

call. Told me he was gonna force the
plane down here.

Come on.

Good evening.

And where have you been, Mr. Kent?

Me? Oh, I've been around.

Oh, around, eh? And I suppose you can
explain why you and Superman have both

been missing for approximately the same
length of time? My dear Miss Lane, don't

you realize there's a logical
explanation for everything?

All right, start getting logical.

Well, let's just say that Superman had
certain things to do and I had certain

things to do. Such as?

Well, Superman had a hunch that if he
exposed himself to the full fury of an

electrical storm, it might neutralize
the radiations he'd absorbed.

Well, it worked.

Oh, it did, eh? And I suppose if
Superman isn't radioactive anymore, you

aren't either.

Me? Radioactive? I should say not. See?

This is a Geiger counter. If I were
radioactive, this gadget would be

clicking away like mad.

And what are you doing with the Geiger
counter? Oh, well, Superman asked me to

check this plane for any traces of
contamination.

Obviously, it's perfectly all right.
See? No clicks.

You're just trying to confuse me.

But Superman and you, I still wonder.

Wonder? Well, it's no wonder you wonder.

You're a pretty wonderful girl.
