All language subtitles for 096 - Aos

Of Superman.

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.

Keep away.

The man in this house is dangerously
radioactive.

Any contact with him can be fatal.

I'm thoughtful of Dr.

Ladislav to warn visitors not to come
near him.

Who is it?

Friends, Dr. Ladislav.

Go away, whoever you are. It is
dangerous to come in.

Do not worry, doctor. We know you are
radioactive.

But we are in no danger while we wear
these radiation-proof suits.

We can even touch you without harm to
ourselves, see?

Yes. But what do you want?

What are you doing here? We have come to
take you to the land where you were

born. What? You are a brilliant
scientist, Dr. Ladislav.

You have done magnificent work here in
Nevada in the development of atomic

energy. And now your homeland needs this
knowledge you possess.

But this is my homeland.

I'm a loyal citizen of the United
States.

Merely a naturalized citizen, my dear
doctor. Your loyalty is still to the old

country. And that is where you are
going.

But this, this is ridiculous.

I am not going anywhere.

Perhaps this will convince you that we
mean business.

Your gun doesn't frighten me, gentlemen.

As you may have heard, a few weeks ago,
I was exposed accidentally to massive

nuclear radiation.

Now I have but a matter of months to
live. But since it did happen, I'm glad

it was in the service of my country.

Your real country lies across the ocean.

That is where you will spend what little
remains of your life in our nuclear

laboratories.

Otherwise... Go ahead and shoot.

I'm doomed to die soon anyway.

Well, Igor, as it seems this cannot
persuade them, I suggest you show them

the other weapon we brought with us. An
excellent idea, Nikolai.

Do you... Recognize these ladies, Dr.
Ladislav.

My sisters, Anna and Sonia.

You have them in your custody?

But I assure you, they are quite
comfortable up to now. But you wouldn't

harm them.

Not if you come with us voluntarily, but
if you refuse.

But you cannot take me on such a
journey.

I am radioactive.

and it would be harm to everyone who
would come in touch with me. Not at all.

We have brought you a radiation-proof
suit like our own.

When you put it on, your radioactive
power will be harmless to others.

We will drive you to the coast, where
one of our submarines is waiting to pick

us up. Now, if you will put down the
suit, Glee.

I have no choice.

that'll keep them out of action for a
while.

I'll have the authorities pick them up
before they regain consciousness.

Yes, good.

But you must not come near me.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about that,
Professor. I don't think you're

sufficiently radioactive to bother me.

I understand.

But how did you happen to come just when
I was about to be abducted?

Well, let's just say that I had some
other business in the vicinity.

Besides, Doctor, a lot of people are
concerned about you, sir.

A lot of people on our side and a lot of
people on the other side, too. I suppose

I should be grateful. I am grateful.

And yet, I think it would be much better
if you had not interfered.

You mean you'd rather return to the old
country with them?

Oh, no.

But when their government learns what
has happened to them, I'm afraid that my

two poor sisters will be in very great
danger.

I see now.

The oldest and the grimmest kind of
black men in the whole world.

With your help, Doctor, I think we can
beat them at their own game. How?

Well, these two are mere hirelings.

But the real head of their operation in
this country is a man known to our

government as X-29.

Only a number. But he's the most
fruitless, deadly, secret agent who ever

lived. So I've heard.

So I've heard, Doctor.

But when he learns his first plan has
failed, I'm sure he'll make a second

attempt to kidnap you. And this time,
this time he'll do it personally and...

With you as bait, we're able to catch
both him and his entire organization.

I'm willing, of course.

But what's about my poor sisters?

Their situation is desperate, of course.

But you know, any promises made to you
by these other people are completely

worthless.

I know.

I know.

Well, cheer up.

Maybe things aren't as bad as we think.

Let's hope so.

Meantime, I'm at your disposal.

Good. I don't suppose you happen to have
a whistle.

A whistle?

Yes, you know, a bird whistle, a police
whistle, anything like that.

Why? No.

Well, can you whistle yourself?

You mean like this?

Yes, that's very good. Now try it again,
please.

Good. Now, whenever you're in danger,
you whistle just like that and I'll be

here. By magic?

But this whistle will hardly carry
beyond this room.

No, doctor, it isn't magic.

You see, I happen to have super
sensitive hearing.

And I just tuned my ear to the exact
pitch of that whistle. Yes.

So I can hear you regardless of wherever
I am.

It is remarkable.

I thought you were joking.

No, no, doctor, I assure you I'm not.
And now if you'll excuse me, I have

business elsewhere.

I see.

Well, you use your own judgment on that.

Very good.

Well, Jim, maybe today will be the big
day. I wouldn't bet on it, Miss Lane.

They've already postponed the test 17
times because of bad weather.

Well, think how the chief must feel. He
sends us out here to cover this atomic

test, and so far it's been nothing but a
vacation.

If you can call standing around in a
concrete bunker in the middle of the

Nevada Flats for weeks on end a
vacation.

Don't get discouraged, Jim. We'll get a
story sooner or later. Sure. We make one

up ourselves.

Oh, General Barrels, are you going ahead
with the explosion?

We're not quite sure yet, but we may get
the go-ahead signal any time now.

Well, at least we can wire that much
back to the Daily Planet.

You can wire what back to the Daily
Planet? Hi, Mr. Kent. They postponed the

test again.

And you're a fine reporter, walking out
on us and leaving us to do the waiting.

Where have you been?

Oh, just visiting an old friend of Mr.
White's, Dr. Ladislav.

Isn't he the atomic scientist who has to
live alone in the desert because he's

radioactive? That's right, Jim. And it's
a strange thing, too.

Up till now, nobody who has been
radioactive has been a danger to other

people.

And live, that is. But, Clark, I thought
no one was allowed to get close to him.

Oh, Lois, you know me a lot better than
that. I'm not about to get close enough

to be dangerous.

Besides, I just went over to check on a
couple of people I heard were going to

kidnap him.

Kidnap him?

Oh, it didn't amount to anything. I
didn't bother to file a story.

Forget it.

A big deal like that and he didn't even
wire it in?

He's getting pretty off-handed about it,
isn't he, Miss Lane?

Either that or he's trying to pull a
wool over our eyes.

Listen, Jim, let's us go out and see if
this Dr. Ladislav is really in danger

from a foreign agent.

Golly, I dig this foreign agent stuff
the most. He's probably some sinister

fellow with a thick accent and big black
mustache.

Come on, Jim.

Come in.

You... You are Miss Collins?

Yes, I'm Miss Collins. Come in.

You look amazed or frightened.

Identify yourself.

I... I don't know.

You don't know?

Identify yourself.

X-249, Zelinsky. But you are X-29?

Yes. I am X-29.

You're surprised?

I am amazed.

Forgive me, but you are not exactly what
I expected.

Therein lies my value.

The typical American girl.

But I assure you it wasn't easy, my
friend.

Six years at the academy learning the
language, studying with the experts

every phase of American life.

You are their masterpiece.

I'll do, I guess.

I know more about America than most
Americans do.

Tell me, what happened to Igor, Nikolai,
and Dr. Ladislav?

Igor and Nikolai have disappeared.

I tried to find out if they had been
arrested. I could learn nothing.

This means they failed in their attempt
to kidnap Dr. Ladislav.

The stupid bunglers.

We'll have to complete job ourselves.

But what if there is a trap?

We'll avoid it.

Do you have any more anti-radiation
suits?

In the car.

But suppose there is someone else with
Dr. Ladislav.

Then it'll be just too bad for them.

Maybe we better not go any further. It
says that Dr. Ladislav is dangerously

radioactive. Any contact with him can be
fatal.

Maybe the sign's just to scare people
away, like those signs say in Beware a

Dog, where there isn't any dog.

That's probably it. Come on.

I warn you, if you come to abduct me,
you'll be in great trouble.

I have a way to save myself.

It's all right, Dr. Ladislav, we're
friends.

How do you do, sir? Please, go out,
quickly.

Oh, we're reporters from the Daily
Planet. We met you once in Mr. White's

office, remember?

Yes, but please, go out.

You don't understand.

I am radioactive, and you are in danger.

Well, you don't have to try and bluff
us, Dr. Ladislav. Yes, but you must not

bring the fear, otherwise I'll have to
whistle for help.

Whistle?

But who'd hear you?

Superman.

Superman? Yes.

And if you leave me no choice...

When

I'm nervous, my mouth gets dry and I
can't whistle.

May I have a drink of water, please?

We're wasting time, Doctor. If we're
going to save you, you must come with

us. No, no, please don't touch me. Don't
touch. Please, Doctor. It's too late.

You have doomed yourselves.

You mean you really are radioactive?

Fatally. And since you have touched me,
so are you.

Oh, no.

I can't believe it. You must believe.

It is true. Here.

Here's the gadget counter.

See for yourselves.

Call me Miss Lane.

I guess we're done for.

There's no hope for us?

None.

Well, I guess we have nothing else to
lose.

But a great deal to gain for the United
States. What do you mean?

We'll take you out of here before that
foreign agent can use your scientific

knowledge against the country. Now, come
on. No, no, you don't understand.

I must be here, waiting when they will
come for me. That's what you think,

Doctor. Come on, please, let's go. No.

I'll go with you, but on one condition.

Condition?

Yes. We must not go to any city or town
or any place where there are people that

we might contaminate.

He's right, Jim. I know.

But now the only important thing is to
get the doctor away from here, so let's

go deeper into the desert and sit it
out, I guess.

And the weather report looks favorable,
huh?

Very good. I'm glad the wedding's over.

Right. We'll be ready to detonate as
soon as we get your signal.

Well, that's it. I guess you heard.

I sure did, General.

The greatest atomic blast ever.

As the British would say, this should
sure be quite a show.

I hope so.

Now, Nelson, in exactly 15 minutes, if
I've had the final word, you'll arm the

nuclear device.

It will explode exactly one minute
later.

Oh, General, just one second, sir. What
would happen if something should go

wrong at the very last minute?

Well, once the bomb is armed, nothing
can stop the explosion.

However, what can go wrong?

I wish I knew. I hope nothing, sir.

Too bad your young colleagues will miss
the blast after all.

You mean they're not here?

Well, I imagine they got bored with all
the postponements.

They must have gone into Las Vegas to
see the sights.

Well, excuse me, General, but are you
sure?

Oh, I saw them leaving Miss Lane's car
quite a while ago. They seem anxious to

get away.

General, there have been so many
postponements.

Couldn't we postpone this just one more
time, sir?

Well, not unless the weather changes.
Otherwise, the explosion will go off on

schedule. I don't think there's going to
be any change in the weather.

I'm trying to whistle.

He is gone.

He can't be gone.

You go outside and search around the
back.

Safety bunker, General Barrow speaking.

Right.

Set controls for five minutes.

Five minutes?

Well, that was it.

Pretty soon comes the fireworks, and
still no sign of your two friends.

Correct, General.

No sign.

I suppose you know you're driving right
towards ground zero.

I know, but in any other direction,
we'll be driving towards populated

areas.

This would be a great place to be if
they set off the atomic explosion.

They postponed it 17 times. Why should
they un-postpone it today?

Anyway, what difference does it make to
us?

Yeah, I guess you're right.

There is no sign of him.

Bunglers?

It must be a car. Come on.

Four minutes, huh? Then what happens?

Precisely four o'clock, Nelson there
will press a button that will arm the

nuclear device.

And that's it, huh? That's it.

Exactly 60 seconds after he presses the
button, the bomb will explode, hot or

cold, ready or not.

No power on Earth can stop it.

There's something behind us.

It's another car.

Must be.

They're coming after me.

If I could only whistle.

Oh, never mind the whistle.

Jim, drive faster.

I have a strange feeling something's
wrong. Please call it off.

You have the authority. Call it off,
sir.

I'm sorry, Mr. Kent. That's impossible.

All right, I'll take the responsibility.
Please call it off. You take the

responsibility. I'm afraid you have no
responsibility in this matter, sir.

One minute.

Jim, what's the matter?

I hate to tell you this, Miss Lane, but
the car's running out of gas.

Oh, Jim, how could you?

Well, after all, it's your car.

I know, but you're supposed to do
something about this.

Women.

Come on, Doctor, we've got to run for
it. Don't be silly. They'd get us before

we'd run 100 yards.

60 seconds, 59, 58, 57, 56.

You finally managed to wet your whistle,
huh, Doctor? Yes.

There are two cars out there.

I can't see anything. How can you?

Never mind how I can't. Take my word for
it. Stop this cat. It's too late, I tell

you. Nothing can stop the explosion.

Stop!

Stop or you'll be killed!

What are you doing?

What are you looking for?

He said I had only to whistle and he
would come. He said?

Who said?

Why, Superman.

Superman?

There's something flying directly above
the explosion site.

It's a plane or...

It's Superman.

He's reversing the explosion. He's
driving it back into the ground.

The bomb did go off, but there's no sign
of it now.

I don't understand it.

It is incredible.

It just seemed to disappear into itself.

Superman. Superman. So it was you who
performed the miracle of reversing the

nuclear explosion.

I'm afraid I'll have to plead guilty to
that, Doctor.

We were being chased by spies. They were
trying to capture Dr. Ladislav.

I know, Jimmy, but their car is wrecked.
They're on foot now. They won't get very

far. Oh, by the way, Doctor, you might
be interested to learn that X-29 is not

a man.

Not a man?

You mean we were being chased by a lady
spy?

Well, a woman, Jimmy. I'd hardly call
her a lady.

And now, if you two will take the good
doctor back to Mr. White's office, I'll

join you there later. I have another
chore or two to perform.

Just a minute.

The three of us have been exposed to
radiation.

And now that you've come near us, you're
contaminated, too.

This is terrible.

Well, you all seem to ignore the fact
that I've just come from the middle of a

nuclear blast.

If anything, I'm twice as contaminated
as all of you. That's right.

And I fear that this is the end of
Superman.

Well, I wouldn't exactly say that.

You see, Doctor, I have a theory. I
believe that my molecular polarity is

the exact opposite of other people's.

If this is the case, then your
radioactivity is the reverse of ours,

too. That's right.

I think that...

A negative radioactive charge will
cancel out a positive radioactive

charge. And this is true.

We're all saved.

So let's try it anyway, shall we? Give
me your hands.

Put them right in here.

There.

Do you think we've been decontaminated?
I feel sure of it, Miss Lane.

Jimmy, will you please get the Geiger
counter? Yes, sir.

Sally, it's true. We're not radioactive
anymore.

You mean even I am no longer doomed?

That's right, Doctor.

You have many wonderful years ahead of
you of scientific research.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Well, guess we'd better get going.

Miss Lane.

Ah, yes.

No gasoline.

Perhaps somebody will pick us up.

Shall we start walking?

Might as well.

I tell you, it's the biggest story the
planet has ever published. I'm proud of

you. And I congratulate you on your
miraculous escape.

Oh, it is Superman who has to be
praised.

My only regret is that my two sisters in
the old country probably will never

know.

It's so wonderful.

However, can I thank you? Please don't
try, sir.

Miss Lane?

Golly, Superman, you flew all the way
across the ocean to rescue them.

I sure wish Clark Kent were here to see
this. Yes, where is Kent anyway?

Oh, you know Clark. He never shows up
till everything is over with.

That's right.

Oh, now, Miss Lane. I wouldn't exactly
say that.

You wouldn't expect Kent to get around
as fast as I do.

Would you?

Don't miss the next real packed episode
in the amazing adventures of Superman.

Superman is based on the original
character appearing in Superman

magazine.
