Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:15,996 --> 00:00:17,964
So much for a nice Sunday fly.
2
00:00:19,566 --> 00:00:20,624
No way.
3
00:00:20,701 --> 00:00:22,134
- You'll never win!
- I will win...
4
00:00:22,202 --> 00:00:25,069
- and I'll beat you down these stairs.
- You know I'll beat you.
5
00:00:25,138 --> 00:00:26,867
- No way.
- You know I'll beat you.
6
00:00:26,940 --> 00:00:28,430
No, you won't!
7
00:00:31,011 --> 00:00:34,037
Hey, get back here.
8
00:00:35,215 --> 00:00:38,582
- I'm faster than a speeding bullet.
- No way.
9
00:00:38,652 --> 00:00:41,746
Okay, but I'm faster than you
and stronger, too.
10
00:00:41,822 --> 00:00:43,187
No way!
11
00:00:46,259 --> 00:00:47,521
Got you.
12
00:00:53,567 --> 00:00:56,127
- What is it?
- How am I supposed to know?
13
00:00:57,003 --> 00:00:58,595
I didn't put it there.
14
00:01:05,579 --> 00:01:08,844
- Maybe your dad sent it from his trip.
- Yeah. Cool.
15
00:01:12,119 --> 00:01:14,246
Are you gonna get in, or are you scared?
16
00:01:14,321 --> 00:01:16,516
- Aren't you?
- No way.
17
00:01:21,128 --> 00:01:22,220
Nothing's happening.
18
00:01:22,295 --> 00:01:25,025
- Maybe you have to close the lid.
- Okay.
19
00:01:29,002 --> 00:01:31,095
So what does it feel like?
20
00:01:31,638 --> 00:01:33,037
Hey, Nick.
21
00:02:50,283 --> 00:02:52,911
- Chief, I got a good one.
- Come on, Jimmy.
22
00:02:52,986 --> 00:02:55,921
I told you I'd give you an assignment
when the time was right.
23
00:02:55,989 --> 00:02:58,480
The Queen of England
in the middle of a state dinner...
24
00:02:58,558 --> 00:02:59,718
walks out into the garden...
25
00:02:59,793 --> 00:03:03,354
and she starts dancing in a fountain
with one of her beefeaters.
26
00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:05,921
My angle, "A Royal Cry For Help."
27
00:03:05,999 --> 00:03:08,934
Jimmy, this is a newspaper,
not a checkout rag.
28
00:03:09,002 --> 00:03:12,369
The Queen's peccadilloes
after a few too many sherries...
29
00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:14,999
is not my idea of a good one.
30
00:03:15,709 --> 00:03:17,040
- Now...
- Yes, sir.
31
00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:20,876
...how's the real news coming?
- Still no leads on those kidnappings.
32
00:03:20,947 --> 00:03:23,939
Seven wealthy children have been taken
in the last three months.
33
00:03:24,017 --> 00:03:26,577
All were returned safely
after huge ransoms were paid...
34
00:03:26,653 --> 00:03:28,883
but the kids don't remember
what happened to them.
35
00:03:28,955 --> 00:03:32,186
We tried to interview the parents,
but they're very high-profile.
36
00:03:32,259 --> 00:03:34,386
CEOs, rock stars, politicians...
37
00:03:34,461 --> 00:03:37,259
Nobody wants publicity
because their children are involved.
38
00:03:37,330 --> 00:03:39,730
Well, I can sure understand that...
39
00:03:39,799 --> 00:03:43,200
but how many more times can we say
there's no new information?
40
00:03:45,005 --> 00:03:48,907
- Sorry I'm late.
- Yeah. Halloween was a few months ago.
41
00:03:50,544 --> 00:03:54,071
What's this?
Somebody kick the bucket, or what?
42
00:03:54,414 --> 00:03:58,373
Can't a girl get dressed up
without sending out a press release?
43
00:03:58,552 --> 00:04:01,851
- I think you look very nice.
- Thank you, Clark.
44
00:04:02,122 --> 00:04:05,148
Kind of like a librarian fantasy I had once.
45
00:04:05,992 --> 00:04:07,186
All right, who is he?
46
00:04:07,260 --> 00:04:10,354
You don't do anything this drastic
unless there's a man involved.
47
00:04:10,430 --> 00:04:11,522
As a matter of fact...
48
00:04:11,598 --> 00:04:16,058
I happen to be having lunch this afternoon
with Arthur Chow.
49
00:04:17,404 --> 00:04:21,465
- He's even richer than Lex Luthor, isn't he?
- Second richest man in the world.
50
00:04:21,541 --> 00:04:23,168
Not as handsome as Lex.
51
00:04:23,443 --> 00:04:25,741
He and I are on
the same charity committee...
52
00:04:25,812 --> 00:04:28,610
and we're going to be going over
some last-minute details...
53
00:04:28,682 --> 00:04:32,846
for tonight's Magic of the Night Ball,
which I hope you're all planning to attend.
54
00:04:32,919 --> 00:04:37,549
Arthur Chow.
Isn't he a little bit conservative for you?
55
00:04:38,658 --> 00:04:40,626
He and I have a lot in common.
56
00:04:40,694 --> 00:04:44,391
You mean those little green pieces
of paper with dead presidents on them.
57
00:04:44,598 --> 00:04:46,862
- Exactly.
- Now wait a minute.
58
00:04:46,933 --> 00:04:50,460
You mean to say, you're going
to bamboozle this guy into thinking...
59
00:04:50,537 --> 00:04:53,438
- you're a straight arrow?
- That's my plan.
60
00:04:55,842 --> 00:04:57,400
Heaven help him.
61
00:05:10,223 --> 00:05:12,453
All right, now, who's up next?
62
00:05:14,594 --> 00:05:15,959
Excuse me, Chief.
63
00:05:22,902 --> 00:05:24,460
Can I help you?
64
00:05:24,537 --> 00:05:26,232
- Clark Kent?
- Yes.
65
00:05:27,007 --> 00:05:29,976
My name is Rose Collins.
I need you to write a story.
66
00:05:31,244 --> 00:05:32,871
Is something wrong?
67
00:05:33,013 --> 00:05:36,710
It's my son Nicky.
There's been a terrible mistake.
68
00:05:37,083 --> 00:05:39,847
- What kind of mistake?
- This is Lois Lane, my partner.
69
00:05:41,721 --> 00:05:44,485
You've both been writing
about the kidnappings, haven't you?
70
00:05:44,557 --> 00:05:47,720
Actually, I've been doing most of the...
Yes, we have.
71
00:05:48,294 --> 00:05:51,092
Has your son been kidnapped,
Mrs. Collins?
72
00:05:52,532 --> 00:05:54,932
Shouldn't you be talking to the police?
73
00:05:55,001 --> 00:05:58,266
I'm not supposed to tell them.
Otherwise Nicky will be...
74
00:05:58,638 --> 00:06:00,003
It's okay.
75
00:06:01,641 --> 00:06:03,268
Here.
76
00:06:03,343 --> 00:06:05,072
How can we help you?
77
00:06:07,447 --> 00:06:09,938
I work for Mr. And Mrs. Mark Moskal.
78
00:06:10,016 --> 00:06:12,450
- Mark Moskal, the developer?
- Yes.
79
00:06:12,852 --> 00:06:16,117
He's practically built
every other building in Metropolis.
80
00:06:16,189 --> 00:06:19,716
I take care of the house.
Nicky and I live on the estate.
81
00:06:20,293 --> 00:06:24,753
He and their son, Chris, are both eight,
and they always play together, and...
82
00:06:25,598 --> 00:06:28,567
And the kidnapper took the wrong kid.
83
00:06:31,204 --> 00:06:34,696
The note asks for $5 million
by tomorrow night.
84
00:06:36,176 --> 00:06:39,304
The Moskals are en route from their safari.
85
00:06:39,379 --> 00:06:42,075
But all that money. How can I ask them?
86
00:06:42,849 --> 00:06:46,945
Could you write something?
Tell the kidnapper he's made a mistake.
87
00:06:48,455 --> 00:06:50,218
Please, help me.
88
00:06:58,665 --> 00:07:02,066
So, this is the other half
I've heard so much about.
89
00:07:03,269 --> 00:07:05,999
Bet this thing could pay my rent
for three months.
90
00:07:06,072 --> 00:07:10,133
More like a small home in the suburbs.
This is a Remington bronze.
91
00:07:11,211 --> 00:07:13,111
Hey, you must be Chris.
92
00:07:13,346 --> 00:07:16,474
It's okay.
They're going to help us find Nicky.
93
00:07:17,283 --> 00:07:19,717
My Daddy's coming home soon.
He'll take care of it.
94
00:07:19,786 --> 00:07:24,553
I'm sure he would, but until he gets back,
we're gonna see what we can do, okay?
95
00:07:26,693 --> 00:07:29,719
"I have your son.
If you want to see him alive again...
96
00:07:29,829 --> 00:07:33,822
"bring $5 million to Hobbs' River Carnival
at midnight tomorrow.
97
00:07:33,933 --> 00:07:37,130
"Come alone.
No authorities, or the boy will be..."
98
00:07:40,774 --> 00:07:43,242
So you were with Nicky
when this happened?
99
00:07:44,310 --> 00:07:46,005
Tell us what you saw.
100
00:07:47,781 --> 00:07:49,271
A magic box...
101
00:07:50,083 --> 00:07:53,644
with stars and a moon painted on it.
102
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,946
- Do you remember anything else?
- It was shiny.
103
00:07:59,425 --> 00:08:03,885
Look, Nick got in and then he disappeared.
104
00:08:05,532 --> 00:08:06,692
That's all.
105
00:08:06,933 --> 00:08:09,265
He may be blocking out
something traumatic.
106
00:08:09,335 --> 00:08:10,768
What's going on here?
107
00:08:10,837 --> 00:08:13,465
- Mom! Dad!
- Christopher!
108
00:08:17,744 --> 00:08:20,144
- Rose, are you all right?
- Yes.
109
00:08:20,380 --> 00:08:23,213
Mary Frances and I
were worried about you.
110
00:08:23,483 --> 00:08:25,951
- Who are you?
- We're from the Daily Planet.
111
00:08:26,019 --> 00:08:29,352
- Rose asked us to come by and...
- The note said no authorities.
112
00:08:29,422 --> 00:08:32,516
- We haven't told the police.
- Although I think we should.
113
00:08:32,592 --> 00:08:35,254
- They could only help.
- No. Absolutely not.
114
00:08:35,328 --> 00:08:36,989
Please. You promised.
115
00:08:37,831 --> 00:08:40,698
I intend to pay the ransom in full,
and get the boy back.
116
00:08:40,767 --> 00:08:43,600
And if the two of you do anything
to jeopardize his safety...
117
00:08:43,670 --> 00:08:46,867
Believe us, Mr. Moskal,
we want to see Nick back safe and sound.
118
00:08:46,940 --> 00:08:50,808
We also want to make sure this doesn't
happen to children all over Metropolis.
119
00:08:50,877 --> 00:08:52,845
That's not my problem right now.
120
00:08:52,912 --> 00:08:55,176
I think we could use some time alone.
121
00:08:55,281 --> 00:08:59,377
We'll take care of Rose and Nick.
Thank you very much for your concern.
122
00:09:14,701 --> 00:09:16,965
Yes, I understand. Thank you.
123
00:09:19,272 --> 00:09:21,365
- Anything?
- Stymied.
124
00:09:21,441 --> 00:09:23,841
I hate that word. I hate that feeling.
125
00:09:24,143 --> 00:09:26,771
The police won't discuss
any of the other kidnappings.
126
00:09:26,846 --> 00:09:29,576
The other victims' parents want to help,
but not on record.
127
00:09:29,649 --> 00:09:31,742
It's like knowing
the answer's behind a door...
128
00:09:31,818 --> 00:09:33,285
and not being able to unlock it.
129
00:09:33,353 --> 00:09:36,117
- Being out of the loop.
- Drives me crazy.
130
00:09:36,823 --> 00:09:39,553
I think this calls for a little magic.
131
00:09:42,061 --> 00:09:43,050
Voil�.
132
00:09:44,597 --> 00:09:47,430
- I'm not going to Cat's party.
- It's for charity.
133
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:51,800
- Besides, it could be our only lead.
- We haven't got a lead.
134
00:09:52,171 --> 00:09:55,607
Sure we do. Don't you remember
what Chris Moskal said?
135
00:09:55,942 --> 00:09:59,469
He saw a magic box.
So maybe there's a magician involved.
136
00:09:59,545 --> 00:10:02,571
That is not a lead.
That's a desperate cry for help.
137
00:10:05,018 --> 00:10:08,647
- Don't you want to help Rose?
- Of course, but...
138
00:10:09,489 --> 00:10:10,751
But what?
139
00:10:13,192 --> 00:10:17,060
- I hate magic, that's what.
- How can you hate magic?
140
00:10:19,198 --> 00:10:22,463
- This is way beyond the call of duty.
- Abracadabra.
141
00:10:23,436 --> 00:10:25,370
Princess Di have a garage sale?
142
00:10:25,438 --> 00:10:29,704
Arthur sent a limo for me.
He's introducing me to his mother tonight.
143
00:10:30,243 --> 00:10:33,508
Perry and Jimmy are already inside. Enjoy.
144
00:10:36,716 --> 00:10:39,446
- You ready?
- Do I have a choice?
145
00:10:43,222 --> 00:10:47,318
- This is bunk. Let's go back to the s�ance.
- No, come on, wait. This is interesting.
146
00:10:47,393 --> 00:10:51,261
Still relaxed,
still listening to the sound of my voice.
147
00:10:51,464 --> 00:10:53,557
Now, raise your right hand.
148
00:10:53,933 --> 00:10:55,833
Higher. Good.
149
00:10:55,902 --> 00:10:58,928
Whenever you hear me say the words,
"thank you"...
150
00:10:59,005 --> 00:11:01,633
you'll lift your right hand just as you did.
151
00:11:01,708 --> 00:11:05,075
When I count down slow
and snap my fingers...
152
00:11:05,378 --> 00:11:07,471
you'll awake refreshed.
153
00:11:07,547 --> 00:11:10,573
Five, four, three, two, one.
154
00:11:11,951 --> 00:11:15,853
Let's have a nice round of applause
for this lovely young lady.
155
00:11:15,922 --> 00:11:17,253
Thank you.
156
00:11:19,659 --> 00:11:23,026
- See? It works.
- Come on, Jimmy. Don't be so naive.
157
00:11:23,096 --> 00:11:25,326
The woman is an obvious plant.
158
00:11:25,398 --> 00:11:27,389
A skeptic, ladies and gentlemen.
159
00:11:27,467 --> 00:11:30,630
Perhaps you'll do us the favor
of being our next subject.
160
00:11:31,004 --> 00:11:32,028
No.
161
00:11:32,105 --> 00:11:34,232
- Go on, Chief, get up there.
- No.
162
00:11:34,307 --> 00:11:35,740
Prove them wrong. Go on.
163
00:11:35,808 --> 00:11:40,211
All right. I'm warning you,
don't be disappointed if nothing happens.
164
00:11:40,279 --> 00:11:44,648
I'm a very strong-willed individual.
165
00:11:48,254 --> 00:11:49,744
See the watch?
166
00:11:50,857 --> 00:11:52,415
Only the watch.
167
00:11:53,426 --> 00:11:54,916
Hear my voice.
168
00:11:57,697 --> 00:11:59,324
Only my voice.
169
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,401
Breathe in and out.
170
00:12:06,906 --> 00:12:08,134
Relax.
171
00:12:09,876 --> 00:12:11,776
When I count to five...
172
00:12:13,179 --> 00:12:14,874
you may close your eyes.
173
00:12:15,648 --> 00:12:19,744
One, two, three, four, five.
174
00:12:19,819 --> 00:12:22,788
Excellent. The subject is ready.
175
00:12:22,922 --> 00:12:26,551
Now, all I need
is a posthypnotic suggestion.
176
00:12:26,859 --> 00:12:29,919
- Anybody?
- Yeah. I got one.
177
00:12:31,431 --> 00:12:34,059
Now it's time for a card trick.
178
00:12:34,133 --> 00:12:37,034
You want to move in a little bit closer
so you can see well.
179
00:12:37,103 --> 00:12:39,663
Look, it's Darin Romick,
the greatest illusionist alive.
180
00:12:39,739 --> 00:12:42,173
- Now, how do you know that?
- It says so right here.
181
00:12:42,241 --> 00:12:46,302
I'm not buying it. "lllusion," Clark,
as in "trick," as in "phony."
182
00:12:46,379 --> 00:12:50,577
He made the Eiffel Tower disappear, Lois.
That does require some kind of talent.
183
00:12:50,650 --> 00:12:54,177
Big deal. Mirrors, wires, trap doors.
They all have their little secrets.
184
00:12:54,253 --> 00:12:56,346
- Now I get it.
- Get what?
185
00:12:56,422 --> 00:12:58,913
- Why you don't like magic.
- Do tell.
186
00:12:58,991 --> 00:13:02,620
It drives you crazy
not to be in on the secret. Thank you.
187
00:13:02,695 --> 00:13:05,186
You always have to know everything
about everything.
188
00:13:05,264 --> 00:13:09,928
That's not true. I like being surprised.
As long as I know about it in advance.
189
00:13:10,002 --> 00:13:13,403
- Classic control-freak behavior.
- Well, thank you, Dr. Freud.
190
00:13:13,473 --> 00:13:16,203
Full disclosure, no stone left unturned.
191
00:13:16,375 --> 00:13:19,071
I guess that's what makes you
a great reporter.
192
00:13:19,145 --> 00:13:20,544
You guess?
193
00:13:21,981 --> 00:13:25,849
Life doesn't always have to go
exactly according to plan, Lois.
194
00:13:25,918 --> 00:13:30,184
- That would be boring.
- Are you saying my life is boring?
195
00:13:31,724 --> 00:13:35,820
I'm saying it could use a little mystery
every once in a while, that's all.
196
00:13:36,796 --> 00:13:41,233
And is that your card right there?
197
00:13:43,669 --> 00:13:46,035
Thank you. Now, for my last illusion...
198
00:13:46,105 --> 00:13:50,508
I will call once again for assistance
from the lovely Constance.
199
00:13:50,743 --> 00:13:52,108
Give it up!
200
00:13:53,980 --> 00:13:56,642
I also need a little bit of help from you all.
201
00:13:56,716 --> 00:13:59,446
I want you to just feel free to call out
as we go along.
202
00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:03,421
- Just name an object in this room.
- Program.
203
00:14:03,489 --> 00:14:06,390
I heard "table."
How about that one? Will that one do?
204
00:14:06,459 --> 00:14:08,927
Grab your drinks, dear.
Hold this, would you, skipper?
205
00:14:08,995 --> 00:14:12,931
Constance, can you help
the lovely couple up here on stage?
206
00:14:12,999 --> 00:14:17,129
I'd like you to name a den animal.
Den animal, anybody?
207
00:14:17,537 --> 00:14:19,664
- Rat.
- I heard "rat"...
208
00:14:19,739 --> 00:14:23,300
and we are lucky
because there is a rat in the house.
209
00:14:23,376 --> 00:14:26,504
Would everybody please check
under their tables?
210
00:14:26,579 --> 00:14:29,776
I got a beat on it. Here we go!
We got it right here.
211
00:14:29,849 --> 00:14:32,750
- No. This is mink, right?
- Yes, it is.
212
00:14:32,852 --> 00:14:36,379
That's close enough to rat for me.
It's a beautiful thing.
213
00:14:37,757 --> 00:14:40,089
- Is this real fur?
- Yes, it is.
214
00:14:40,159 --> 00:14:44,892
I've heard some people frown on that.
They'll splatter paint, and stuff like that.
215
00:14:44,964 --> 00:14:47,558
Constance, hold the coat for me.
Thank you very much.
216
00:14:47,633 --> 00:14:51,501
One more thing we need.
We need a live animal.
217
00:14:51,571 --> 00:14:53,630
Some live animal
you'd like to see in a zoo.
218
00:14:53,706 --> 00:14:54,798
Elephant.
219
00:14:54,874 --> 00:14:57,138
- Giant panda.
- Giant panda, too easy.
220
00:14:57,210 --> 00:15:00,407
- Cow.
- Cow. Now you are challenging me.
221
00:15:00,479 --> 00:15:04,609
Constance, can we rustle up a Guernsey?
Do it.
222
00:15:04,717 --> 00:15:07,311
Okay, we have got a table
with a wonderful couple.
223
00:15:07,386 --> 00:15:10,651
We have got a mink "cousin-of-rat" coat.
224
00:15:10,723 --> 00:15:15,319
And we have Sarah the cow.
Come on, give it up for Sarah.
225
00:15:18,130 --> 00:15:21,293
Sarah, did you bring enough cud
for all of us?
226
00:15:21,434 --> 00:15:24,995
Okay, now I could not possibly know
what these objects were going to be.
227
00:15:25,071 --> 00:15:28,905
There is no trap door large enough
to accommodate these items.
228
00:15:28,975 --> 00:15:33,139
What I'm about to do
is completely and utterly impossible.
229
00:15:33,579 --> 00:15:37,015
Unless, of course, you believe in magic.
230
00:15:37,283 --> 00:15:40,616
All it takes is a little imagination
and some very heavy hydraulics.
231
00:15:40,686 --> 00:15:42,779
Clark, the moon and the stars.
232
00:15:42,855 --> 00:15:46,052
Doesn't that look like the box
the boy described to us?
233
00:15:46,125 --> 00:15:47,524
It sure does.
234
00:15:47,593 --> 00:15:50,528
To kill some time,
maybe I'll have a cup of Joe.
235
00:15:51,464 --> 00:15:53,728
It's black. I need a little bit of milk in here.
236
00:15:53,799 --> 00:15:56,495
Hey, Sarah, give it up, now.
237
00:15:57,036 --> 00:15:58,526
There you go.
238
00:16:00,773 --> 00:16:01,899
Gone.
239
00:16:06,045 --> 00:16:08,377
Thank you so much, ladies and gentlemen.
240
00:16:08,447 --> 00:16:10,608
Well, you were right about one thing.
241
00:16:10,683 --> 00:16:13,516
- What's that?
- We've got a lead.
242
00:16:17,723 --> 00:16:20,055
I sent him away for safekeeping.
243
00:16:20,326 --> 00:16:24,194
If the kidnapper finds out the mistake,
I don't want Christopher in any danger.
244
00:16:24,263 --> 00:16:27,994
We understand, but we need to know
more about that box he saw.
245
00:16:28,067 --> 00:16:30,035
It's very important to the investigation.
246
00:16:30,102 --> 00:16:33,629
I thought I made myself clear.
There is to be no investigation...
247
00:16:33,706 --> 00:16:36,573
either by the police or the Daily Planet.
248
00:16:37,310 --> 00:16:39,904
- The phone, Mr. Moskal.
- Thank you.
249
00:16:40,446 --> 00:16:41,674
Goodbye.
250
00:16:43,215 --> 00:16:46,207
He's meeting the kidnapper
with the money tonight.
251
00:16:46,519 --> 00:16:49,716
- Everything's gonna be okay.
- I'm sure it will be.
252
00:16:54,894 --> 00:16:58,125
"Herbert Ralston, owner of the four-star
Fitz-Ralston hotel chain...
253
00:16:58,197 --> 00:17:02,429
"has announced that he will convert all his
facilities into shelters for the homeless."
254
00:17:02,501 --> 00:17:04,128
Something weird is going on here.
255
00:17:04,203 --> 00:17:07,934
All these famous people
are doing some crazy things.
256
00:17:08,107 --> 00:17:10,098
Sounds like good gossip to me.
257
00:17:10,176 --> 00:17:13,270
Another date with Chow?
This is getting pretty serious.
258
00:17:13,346 --> 00:17:15,109
Seriously stifling.
259
00:17:16,716 --> 00:17:17,774
Yes.
260
00:17:20,786 --> 00:17:25,120
- What happened to the new you?
- The old me wanted out for a while.
261
00:17:25,424 --> 00:17:27,892
I don't know how you regular girls do it.
262
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,690
Those clothes are like straitjackets.
263
00:17:30,763 --> 00:17:32,993
What's Arthur Chow doing here?
264
00:17:35,201 --> 00:17:36,532
Did he see me?
265
00:17:36,602 --> 00:17:38,593
That was almost too easy.
266
00:17:39,739 --> 00:17:42,936
That was low. Even for you.
267
00:17:43,909 --> 00:17:46,036
2:00. The Magic Club.
268
00:17:46,112 --> 00:17:49,275
Darin Romick wasn't there,
but his assistant said she'd talk to us.
269
00:17:49,348 --> 00:17:52,511
I don't think the Great Romick
is going to be greatly cooperative.
270
00:17:52,585 --> 00:17:55,315
Let me come, too.
Maybe I can write a sidebar on your story.
271
00:17:55,388 --> 00:17:58,846
It's okay with us, Jimmy,
but I don't think Perry will go for it.
272
00:17:58,924 --> 00:18:00,789
I believe I have that covered.
273
00:18:00,860 --> 00:18:03,488
- Mr. White, I got an idea.
- What is it now, Olsen?
274
00:18:03,562 --> 00:18:05,689
Let me go with them
on that kidnapping story.
275
00:18:05,765 --> 00:18:06,789
Now, look, Jimmy...
276
00:18:06,866 --> 00:18:08,925
I'll bring my camera,
and even write a sidebar.
277
00:18:09,001 --> 00:18:12,903
- What do you say, Chief?
- That's brilliant, Olsen.
278
00:18:19,445 --> 00:18:20,673
What did I tell you?
279
00:18:20,746 --> 00:18:24,546
I think things are finally going to be
a little different around here.
280
00:18:28,487 --> 00:18:31,115
This club was built over 40 years ago.
281
00:18:31,490 --> 00:18:34,687
A group of magicians wanted a club
just for themselves.
282
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,058
My father was a charter member.
283
00:18:38,330 --> 00:18:40,525
It was a very secret society.
284
00:18:40,699 --> 00:18:43,691
Even now, it's only open to members
and their guests.
285
00:18:43,769 --> 00:18:45,600
We're here because of the kidnappings.
286
00:18:45,671 --> 00:18:49,107
One of the intended victims
said something about a magic box.
287
00:18:49,175 --> 00:18:52,667
And after we saw your show,
we thought a magician might be involved.
288
00:18:52,745 --> 00:18:55,441
- Someone from here?
- We're not sure, yet.
289
00:18:55,614 --> 00:18:58,014
How does this box thing work, anyway?
290
00:18:58,083 --> 00:19:02,247
- It's a combination of distraction and...
- Genius.
291
00:19:04,089 --> 00:19:07,183
Darin Romick is the greatest
that ever lived...
292
00:19:07,860 --> 00:19:11,318
and I don't think he'd like
having his secrets revealed.
293
00:19:11,831 --> 00:19:15,665
- Wouldn't you agree, Constance?
- Yes, Arthur.
294
00:19:18,504 --> 00:19:21,701
- So, how is our experiment going?
- Fine.
295
00:19:21,774 --> 00:19:23,674
- What experiment?
- It's nothing, really.
296
00:19:23,742 --> 00:19:26,939
A little posthypnotic suggestion
we gave the young man's boss.
297
00:19:27,012 --> 00:19:29,947
- You hypnotized Perry?
- It worked, didn't it?
298
00:19:30,015 --> 00:19:33,280
Every time I say the word "chief,"
he tells me that I'm brilliant.
299
00:19:33,352 --> 00:19:36,446
Jimmy, that's terrible.
Will it work if I say it?
300
00:19:36,522 --> 00:19:40,754
The suggestion is very precise. Only
Jimmy's voice will trigger the response.
301
00:19:40,826 --> 00:19:43,317
- So Perry doesn't...
- Doesn't have to know.
302
00:19:44,063 --> 00:19:47,226
Visitors aren't welcome here
until after 6:00.
303
00:19:47,299 --> 00:19:49,392
- We're from the Daily Planet.
- How nice for you.
304
00:19:49,468 --> 00:19:52,960
We think this box trick might have
something to do with some kidnappings.
305
00:19:53,038 --> 00:19:56,667
Trick? Dogs do tricks. I do illusions.
306
00:19:57,109 --> 00:19:58,406
- Want to see one?
- No, l...
307
00:19:58,477 --> 00:20:01,105
You're a reporter,
so you're really good at observation.
308
00:20:01,180 --> 00:20:03,671
Let's see if I can trip you up a bit.
Come right here.
309
00:20:03,749 --> 00:20:05,011
I have a deck of cards here.
310
00:20:05,084 --> 00:20:08,383
When you see a black card,
you will say "coal."
311
00:20:08,721 --> 00:20:12,589
When you see a red card,
you will say "fire." Okay?
312
00:20:12,758 --> 00:20:15,192
Keep your wits about you now. Okay.
313
00:20:16,295 --> 00:20:17,990
- Coal.
- You're a natural.
314
00:20:18,597 --> 00:20:20,087
- Coal.
- Very good.
315
00:20:20,165 --> 00:20:21,632
- Coal.
- Good.
316
00:20:22,334 --> 00:20:23,426
Fire.
317
00:20:31,076 --> 00:20:33,909
- So, what've we got?
- Only a theory.
318
00:20:33,979 --> 00:20:37,073
After we left the Magic Club,
I called the box trick manufacturer.
319
00:20:37,149 --> 00:20:39,811
There were only two made
with the moon and stars design...
320
00:20:39,885 --> 00:20:41,580
and they both belong to Darin Romick.
321
00:20:41,654 --> 00:20:44,145
I think we have enough
for a preliminary story.
322
00:20:44,223 --> 00:20:47,886
- What do you think, Chief?
- Absolutely not.
323
00:20:48,427 --> 00:20:51,624
All you've got is speculation,
and you both know it.
324
00:20:51,697 --> 00:20:54,325
- Well, so much for that.
- Look at this.
325
00:20:56,635 --> 00:20:59,729
- What's this? The Pope?
- Yeah, at a Madonna concert.
326
00:20:59,805 --> 00:21:02,171
Famous people
are doing some strange things lately.
327
00:21:02,241 --> 00:21:04,141
I think there's a story here.
328
00:21:04,610 --> 00:21:06,134
- A story?
- Yeah.
329
00:21:06,545 --> 00:21:10,572
- What do you say I write it, Chief?
- That's brilliant, Jimmy.
330
00:21:18,757 --> 00:21:21,521
Like putty in my hands.
331
00:21:21,594 --> 00:21:24,563
Jimmy, don't you think
what you're doing is a bit unethical?
332
00:21:24,630 --> 00:21:27,656
It's not like I'm asking him
to send me to Tahiti or anything...
333
00:21:27,733 --> 00:21:29,633
this is strictly business.
334
00:21:29,702 --> 00:21:32,227
- Although a trip to Florida would be nice.
- Jimmy.
335
00:21:32,304 --> 00:21:33,737
Forget I mentioned it.
336
00:21:33,872 --> 00:21:35,931
So who's hungry?
We've got two hours to kill.
337
00:21:36,008 --> 00:21:37,066
Until what?
338
00:21:37,142 --> 00:21:40,600
Moskal's meeting the kidnapper
at midnight. I plan to be there.
339
00:21:40,679 --> 00:21:43,614
- I don't think that's such a good idea.
- Why not?
340
00:21:43,682 --> 00:21:46,742
- It's dangerous, for one thing.
- Since when has that stopped us?
341
00:21:46,819 --> 00:21:49,515
Look, Lois, I don't think
we should get in the way.
342
00:21:49,588 --> 00:21:53,615
The best thing we could do is wait it out
and talk to Moskal afterwards.
343
00:21:55,294 --> 00:21:58,024
- You're right.
- I am?
344
00:21:58,163 --> 00:22:02,099
Yeah. We should be adult about this.
There's no need to get in the middle of it.
345
00:22:02,167 --> 00:22:05,864
We'll just write the story
after Rose's son is returned safely home.
346
00:22:07,139 --> 00:22:10,040
- I'm proud of you, Lois.
- Thank you, Clark.
347
00:22:10,509 --> 00:22:14,570
Okay. I'll meet you at the Moskal estate
first thing in the morning.
348
00:22:15,447 --> 00:22:17,574
- Good night.
- Good night.
349
00:22:21,020 --> 00:22:23,716
- Are you feeling okay?
- Get your camera.
350
00:22:26,759 --> 00:22:29,557
I'm beginning to appreciate the office.
It's freezing.
351
00:22:29,628 --> 00:22:32,062
- Just take the pictures.
- Pictures?
352
00:22:47,046 --> 00:22:48,343
I'm here!
353
00:22:53,085 --> 00:22:54,416
I'm alone!
354
00:22:58,290 --> 00:22:59,951
I have the money.
355
00:23:03,896 --> 00:23:05,488
Where's the boy?
356
00:23:07,466 --> 00:23:11,232
Welcome to the big show.
Put down your money and win a prize.
357
00:23:11,303 --> 00:23:12,463
Nicky.
358
00:23:14,540 --> 00:23:15,734
Nicky?
359
00:23:18,310 --> 00:23:22,679
- What've you done? Where's the boy?
- He was never here.
360
00:23:25,050 --> 00:23:27,382
- Keep shooting.
- There's no light.
361
00:23:29,922 --> 00:23:32,447
See the watch. Only the watch.
362
00:23:32,825 --> 00:23:35,885
Hear my voice. Only my voice.
363
00:23:36,061 --> 00:23:39,087
Your mind is clear. Your will is gone.
364
00:23:39,364 --> 00:23:42,527
You will obey my commands
when you hear this phrase:
365
00:23:42,601 --> 00:23:44,831
"The moon and the stars."
366
00:23:45,270 --> 00:23:49,570
Wrong will seem right to you
and you won't remember.
367
00:23:50,509 --> 00:23:53,876
- What's he doing?
- I don't know.
368
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,741
Get him, Superman.
369
00:23:58,484 --> 00:24:00,816
Superman. No!
370
00:24:00,886 --> 00:24:02,444
Superman, it's Nick.
371
00:24:02,521 --> 00:24:07,151
No, Superman, it's a mistake.
No, you're making a mistake, it's wrong.
372
00:24:13,732 --> 00:24:16,963
- What the...
- Superman's been hypnotized?
373
00:24:25,244 --> 00:24:28,008
Jimmy, you did it.
You're on the front page again.
374
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,174
Yeah. I just wish
I didn't make Superman look so bad.
375
00:24:31,250 --> 00:24:34,117
Clark, I'm sorry
we went out there without you last night.
376
00:24:34,186 --> 00:24:36,347
- Is this really what happened?
- Yeah.
377
00:24:36,421 --> 00:24:37,979
Jimmy saw the whole thing, too.
378
00:24:38,056 --> 00:24:40,820
- I don't understand.
- You were so adamant about not going.
379
00:24:40,893 --> 00:24:45,125
- I don't remember any of it.
- Of course you don't. You weren't there.
380
00:24:45,664 --> 00:24:48,690
Did you get enough sleep last night?
You look kind of funny.
381
00:24:48,767 --> 00:24:50,962
I'm fine. I think.
382
00:24:52,237 --> 00:24:55,035
Are you sure
that Superman was hypnotized last night?
383
00:24:55,107 --> 00:24:57,268
I can't think of any other explanation for it.
384
00:24:57,342 --> 00:24:59,469
He just gave the boy
back to the kidnapper.
385
00:24:59,545 --> 00:25:01,911
He clearly was not in control
of what he was doing.
386
00:25:01,980 --> 00:25:04,278
- He really worried me.
- Yeah, me, too.
387
00:25:04,349 --> 00:25:06,783
I just got off the phone
with the chief of police.
388
00:25:06,852 --> 00:25:09,013
He says there was no evidence
left at the scene.
389
00:25:09,087 --> 00:25:12,181
And nothing in your photographs
pointing to anyone but Superman.
390
00:25:12,257 --> 00:25:15,954
- But we all saw it. Even Moskal.
- Yeah, but Moskal's not talking.
391
00:25:16,028 --> 00:25:18,496
Now, look.
I'm not telling you to drop the story.
392
00:25:18,564 --> 00:25:22,625
I believe you saw what you saw.
You have to get me something concrete.
393
00:25:22,701 --> 00:25:25,898
Great. Then all we need is
a signed confession from the kidnapper...
394
00:25:25,971 --> 00:25:29,600
- we just turn him in to the police chief.
- That's brilliant, Jimmy.
395
00:25:33,545 --> 00:25:36,639
This is really starting to bug me.
396
00:25:43,155 --> 00:25:46,989
Lois Lane.
That's great, we'll be right there.
397
00:25:47,693 --> 00:25:48,682
That was Constance.
398
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,161
She's going to tell us more
about the Magnificent Romick. Let's go.
399
00:25:52,231 --> 00:25:55,029
You go ahead.
I have someone else I want to talk to.
400
00:25:55,100 --> 00:25:56,192
Okay.
401
00:25:59,371 --> 00:26:01,635
You can understand, can't you?
402
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,298
He can be very difficult sometimes.
403
00:26:05,377 --> 00:26:09,040
This is completely off the record.
You are an anonymous source.
404
00:26:11,483 --> 00:26:14,919
Darin went through a real bad time
about a year ago.
405
00:26:15,387 --> 00:26:16,945
He got into a lot of debt...
406
00:26:17,022 --> 00:26:20,549
and at the same time,
he lost his big contract in Vegas.
407
00:26:20,726 --> 00:26:23,559
- Gambling problem?
- Big one.
408
00:26:23,795 --> 00:26:26,559
The casino owner found out
he'd been disguising himself...
409
00:26:26,632 --> 00:26:30,261
and using his skills
to cheat at the table for years.
410
00:26:30,569 --> 00:26:34,699
After that, he was financially wiped out.
Nobody wanted to hire him.
411
00:26:34,873 --> 00:26:38,468
- At least he didn't go to jail.
- But now he's back on top.
412
00:26:38,543 --> 00:26:42,377
Yeah, things started to change about
three months ago. He was rich again.
413
00:26:42,447 --> 00:26:45,280
I thought maybe
he'd gone back to the gambling.
414
00:26:45,350 --> 00:26:49,047
But then he said it was all from
some anonymous benefactor.
415
00:26:49,221 --> 00:26:51,314
Or a series of kidnappings.
416
00:26:51,690 --> 00:26:54,955
- You don't think that Darin...
- That's exactly what I think.
417
00:26:55,093 --> 00:26:57,687
What about hypnosis?
Does he know how to do it?
418
00:26:57,763 --> 00:27:01,290
Yeah. We do it in our act,
but you don't know anything for sure.
419
00:27:01,366 --> 00:27:04,460
- I mean, you don't have proof, do you?
- Not yet.
420
00:27:04,536 --> 00:27:07,699
But if he did it,
I'll find some sooner or later.
421
00:27:15,747 --> 00:27:19,945
When I snap my fingers,
you'll awake happy and safe.
422
00:27:20,752 --> 00:27:22,879
Five, four, three, two, one.
423
00:27:23,822 --> 00:27:24,982
There.
424
00:27:25,090 --> 00:27:28,389
- Is it over?
- Yes, my dear. And you did very well.
425
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,824
You may go to your mother now.
426
00:27:37,035 --> 00:27:38,798
Thanks, Mrs. Thomas.
427
00:27:40,872 --> 00:27:43,773
- So, what do you think?
- Definitely hypnosis.
428
00:27:44,943 --> 00:27:47,844
Each one of them were given
a powerful suggestion...
429
00:27:47,913 --> 00:27:50,404
to forget whatever happened
while they were kidnapped.
430
00:27:50,482 --> 00:27:53,747
So powerful, I can't reverse it.
I can't identify it.
431
00:27:53,952 --> 00:27:57,251
Well, there has to be something here
that can help us.
432
00:27:57,923 --> 00:28:01,552
The only image a few of them
keep remembering is a night sky...
433
00:28:01,626 --> 00:28:03,753
specifically, a moon and stars.
434
00:28:05,764 --> 00:28:08,255
- What did you say?
- Moon and stars.
435
00:28:11,069 --> 00:28:13,094
- Wrong is right.
- Mr. Kent?
436
00:28:16,742 --> 00:28:18,266
Wrong is right.
437
00:28:18,343 --> 00:28:20,402
There's a rogue general
in the Persian Gulf...
438
00:28:20,479 --> 00:28:24,939
about to launch a missile against
the President's order. Perry wants you...
439
00:28:25,784 --> 00:28:27,115
C.K.?
440
00:28:45,670 --> 00:28:47,695
There you go. Thanks.
441
00:28:51,043 --> 00:28:52,305
Superman.
442
00:28:53,912 --> 00:28:55,436
Wrong is right.
443
00:28:55,514 --> 00:28:57,038
Superman, no.
444
00:28:57,349 --> 00:28:59,180
Wrong is right.
445
00:29:11,630 --> 00:29:13,962
No. I don't remember any of it.
446
00:29:15,801 --> 00:29:20,170
I woke up in my bed in the suit. That's it.
447
00:29:21,973 --> 00:29:24,771
I didn't know what to do, so I came here.
448
00:29:25,444 --> 00:29:29,175
Do you really think I could be
under some kind of hypnosis?
449
00:29:30,082 --> 00:29:33,916
Son, one thing we know about you
is that anything can happen.
450
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,214
Do you think that my brain
works the same as yours does?
451
00:29:42,060 --> 00:29:46,121
Well, think about it, Clark.
You were raised to think like a man.
452
00:29:46,298 --> 00:29:49,392
All your perceptions,
all your values are human.
453
00:29:50,102 --> 00:29:54,300
Just stands to reason you'd be as
susceptible to hypnosis as the next guy.
454
00:29:54,372 --> 00:29:57,341
Yeah, but the consequences
are a little bit more disturbing.
455
00:29:57,409 --> 00:30:00,503
- I really could have hurt somebody today.
- But, Clark, you didn't.
456
00:30:00,579 --> 00:30:02,570
Maybe whatever makes you
different from us...
457
00:30:02,647 --> 00:30:05,946
gives you the ability
to fight off any negative suggestions.
458
00:30:06,017 --> 00:30:08,645
- But what if it doesn't?
- Listen to me, Clark.
459
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,211
The only way
you're ever going to be truly safe...
460
00:30:11,289 --> 00:30:14,122
is if you and Lois find this terrible person...
461
00:30:14,192 --> 00:30:16,922
before he makes you do anything worse.
462
00:30:32,010 --> 00:30:33,068
Where've you been all day?
463
00:30:33,145 --> 00:30:35,272
Jimmy said you left
without saying anything.
464
00:30:35,347 --> 00:30:38,441
I've been a little out of it.
Must be the flu coming on.
465
00:30:38,517 --> 00:30:41,714
Constance told me that Romick's had
a heavy infusion of cash...
466
00:30:41,786 --> 00:30:45,415
in the last three months
and he's well versed in hypnosis.
467
00:30:45,891 --> 00:30:49,292
What about Dr. Novak
or any other hypnotist for that matter?
468
00:30:49,361 --> 00:30:52,194
I know it's Romick. I just can't prove it.
469
00:30:52,364 --> 00:30:54,559
Clark. You should have seen it today.
470
00:30:54,633 --> 00:30:58,330
Superman is completely out of control.
It really scared me.
471
00:30:58,837 --> 00:31:00,065
Me, too.
472
00:31:00,972 --> 00:31:04,669
Romick has to be stopped before he can
cause any more trouble for Superman.
473
00:31:04,743 --> 00:31:07,007
I'm going to go backstage
and see what I can find.
474
00:31:07,078 --> 00:31:08,773
He'll be at least another 20 minutes.
475
00:31:08,847 --> 00:31:11,680
For my next amazement,
I need a volunteer from the audience.
476
00:31:11,750 --> 00:31:15,618
How about you?
The lovely lady who's trying to leave.
477
00:31:17,689 --> 00:31:20,249
Come right up here on stage,
would you, please?
478
00:31:20,325 --> 00:31:23,624
Ladies and gentlemen,
Lois Lane from the Daily Planet.
479
00:31:24,329 --> 00:31:25,557
Come on.
480
00:31:26,898 --> 00:31:30,299
We'll answer all your questions
about magic. Come on.
481
00:31:32,037 --> 00:31:33,402
Lois, wait. I...
482
00:31:33,471 --> 00:31:36,531
What's he gonna do to me
in front of all these people?
483
00:31:36,608 --> 00:31:40,544
Lois Lane. Yes. Right over here.
484
00:31:40,679 --> 00:31:43,739
Just step right up into the box.
485
00:31:44,449 --> 00:31:47,350
A perfectly ordinary magic box.
486
00:31:48,653 --> 00:31:52,111
You're not going to change your mind,
are you?
487
00:31:52,757 --> 00:31:54,418
I don't think so.
488
00:31:55,694 --> 00:31:58,219
And you might want to lie down here.
489
00:31:59,497 --> 00:32:00,623
Locks.
490
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:07,062
And now for the most dangerous trick
in magic. The sword box.
491
00:32:08,106 --> 00:32:12,099
You'll have to trust me on this.
You all set?
492
00:32:13,678 --> 00:32:15,908
Lined up and the sword goes...
493
00:32:20,185 --> 00:32:24,679
through her body, all the way through...
494
00:32:24,756 --> 00:32:28,021
back out the other side.
495
00:32:29,494 --> 00:32:31,792
And the second sword.
496
00:32:35,834 --> 00:32:37,768
And the last one...
497
00:32:37,836 --> 00:32:41,397
completely and utterly blindfolded.
498
00:32:42,874 --> 00:32:45,308
You are going to love this.
499
00:32:46,044 --> 00:32:50,344
The third sword, the final sword,
the one we've all been waiting for...
500
00:32:50,415 --> 00:32:53,851
right through the middle.
Third one is a charm.
501
00:33:02,093 --> 00:33:05,859
They don't make them
like they used to, I guess.
502
00:33:05,930 --> 00:33:09,991
How about a nice round of applause
for our assistant, the lovely Lois Lane?
503
00:33:11,369 --> 00:33:13,997
And keep your eyes on her. Here we go.
504
00:33:23,515 --> 00:33:26,040
Ladies and gentlemen, Darin Romick.
505
00:33:32,424 --> 00:33:35,518
You are watching the Magic Channel.
506
00:33:35,627 --> 00:33:36,719
Nick?
507
00:33:37,862 --> 00:33:41,263
Where are we? What's going on?
508
00:33:48,940 --> 00:33:50,168
Wake up.
509
00:34:02,854 --> 00:34:05,084
How long have you been here?
510
00:34:06,324 --> 00:34:08,849
They're really giving TV a bad name.
511
00:34:10,195 --> 00:34:12,527
There must be a way out of here.
512
00:34:16,968 --> 00:34:19,528
Well, don't worry, I'm a capable...
513
00:34:22,140 --> 00:34:25,906
What was I... I've got to...
514
00:34:26,745 --> 00:34:29,976
You are watching the Magic Channel.
515
00:34:56,808 --> 00:34:59,709
Lois, are you okay?
516
00:35:05,250 --> 00:35:06,911
Lois, look at me.
517
00:35:07,919 --> 00:35:09,511
Have you been drugged?
518
00:35:22,467 --> 00:35:24,662
Superman.
519
00:35:26,337 --> 00:35:28,703
- Where's my mom?
- It's okay.
520
00:35:28,773 --> 00:35:32,072
We'll get you to her as soon as we can.
Who did this to you?
521
00:35:32,844 --> 00:35:36,336
I don't remember.
Somebody made me watch the TV.
522
00:35:36,815 --> 00:35:38,407
There's something weird about it.
523
00:35:38,483 --> 00:35:41,077
That's right.
This tape is sending subliminal messages.
524
00:35:41,152 --> 00:35:44,178
My eyes work faster than yours.
I caught it when I glanced over.
525
00:35:44,255 --> 00:35:45,279
Mind control.
526
00:35:45,356 --> 00:35:48,985
Whoever watches this tape is programmed
to submit and wait for instructions.
527
00:35:49,060 --> 00:35:51,085
Now let's get out of here.
528
00:35:52,764 --> 00:35:54,254
Look, that's the box I was in.
529
00:35:54,332 --> 00:35:58,166
Well, at least we know there's nothing
surprising about this trick anymore.
530
00:35:58,236 --> 00:36:00,101
No. No surprises.
531
00:36:00,171 --> 00:36:03,072
He must have figured out
it was Romick and confronted him.
532
00:36:03,141 --> 00:36:05,234
Where do you think you're going'?
533
00:36:05,910 --> 00:36:09,243
Sorry, Romick. This is one trick
you're not going to get away with.
534
00:36:09,314 --> 00:36:13,114
- What're you talking about?
- Kidnappings. Mass hypnosis.
535
00:36:13,184 --> 00:36:16,119
Dr. Novak. We know all about it.
536
00:36:17,021 --> 00:36:19,114
Kidnapping? Hypnosis?
537
00:36:19,591 --> 00:36:22,424
- You've made some mistake.
- I'm afraid he's right.
538
00:36:22,627 --> 00:36:27,291
Darin Romick never had an idea
of his own in his entire life.
539
00:36:27,398 --> 00:36:29,423
Constance, what have you done?
540
00:36:29,501 --> 00:36:33,232
What I should have done a long time ago.
I'm in charge now.
541
00:36:33,838 --> 00:36:36,102
The moon and the stars.
542
00:36:36,741 --> 00:36:39,733
It's astounding how little we know
about the mind.
543
00:36:39,811 --> 00:36:42,473
Someone like me, for instance...
544
00:36:42,547 --> 00:36:47,007
with only the rudimentary knowledge
of hypnosis that Dr. Novak taught me...
545
00:36:47,085 --> 00:36:50,521
can turn the world upside down...
546
00:36:50,788 --> 00:36:55,487
and have even you,
Superman, at my whim.
547
00:36:57,228 --> 00:36:59,560
Fight it, Superman.
548
00:37:00,064 --> 00:37:03,556
Relax, Darin.
You're under a very powerful suggestion.
549
00:37:03,735 --> 00:37:06,727
In fact, I bet you don't even remember...
550
00:37:06,804 --> 00:37:09,204
killing Dr. Novak for me, do you?
551
00:37:09,641 --> 00:37:10,665
No.
552
00:37:11,209 --> 00:37:14,975
Just like the Queen doesn't remember
dancing in her fountain.
553
00:37:15,046 --> 00:37:17,014
Or that general doesn't quite recall...
554
00:37:17,081 --> 00:37:20,312
why he had to fire that missile
without authorization.
555
00:37:20,385 --> 00:37:22,649
They were all test cases.
556
00:37:22,820 --> 00:37:27,689
But you, Superman,
you turned out the best.
557
00:37:28,293 --> 00:37:30,454
Now let's take care of our little friends.
558
00:37:30,528 --> 00:37:34,988
- Nick, the sword box. Get in.
- Yes, ma'am.
559
00:37:35,066 --> 00:37:38,467
I want you to close the lid
and make sure the lock is secure.
560
00:37:39,370 --> 00:37:42,828
And next, ladies and gentlemen,
the Magnificent Romick...
561
00:37:42,907 --> 00:37:46,843
will perform his last
and most dangerous illusion.
562
00:37:46,911 --> 00:37:49,971
You see that big old ladder
going all the way up the wall?
563
00:37:50,048 --> 00:37:53,142
I want you to climb to the very top...
564
00:37:53,217 --> 00:37:55,981
and then fly back down.
565
00:37:56,521 --> 00:37:58,682
- Do you understand?
- Yes.
566
00:38:02,860 --> 00:38:04,987
And now, Miss Lane...
567
00:38:05,063 --> 00:38:08,726
for you, a death-defying stunt.
568
00:38:09,601 --> 00:38:11,262
Over here, please.
569
00:38:16,774 --> 00:38:18,401
That's my girl.
570
00:38:18,810 --> 00:38:21,404
You're going to enjoy a nice swim.
571
00:38:22,647 --> 00:38:25,775
Very good. Now, climb in.
572
00:38:25,883 --> 00:38:28,443
Superman, pull out the ladder.
573
00:38:28,853 --> 00:38:32,016
Close the lid
and make sure the locks are tight.
574
00:38:48,406 --> 00:38:50,306
Now turn on the water.
575
00:38:57,849 --> 00:38:59,476
Now wave goodbye.
576
00:39:02,820 --> 00:39:05,152
It's time to deliver my message.
577
00:39:05,423 --> 00:39:09,723
Superman, you have the honor
of activating my satellite:
578
00:39:10,261 --> 00:39:11,660
The Magic Channel.
579
00:39:11,729 --> 00:39:15,062
A 24-hour cable channel
going into homes all over the world.
580
00:39:15,133 --> 00:39:16,862
And along with the entertainment...
581
00:39:16,934 --> 00:39:21,371
they'll receive my subliminal signals
at no extra charge.
582
00:39:21,439 --> 00:39:24,897
Anyone who watches
will be at my complete disposal.
583
00:39:24,976 --> 00:39:27,570
Now go. It's already in orbit.
584
00:39:27,645 --> 00:39:30,808
All you have to do
is throw the broadcast switch.
585
00:39:53,438 --> 00:39:55,201
Fight it, Superman.
586
00:39:56,207 --> 00:39:59,938
- I really could have hurt somebody today.
- But, Clark, you didn't.
587
00:40:00,011 --> 00:40:02,343
Maybe whatever makes you
different from us...
588
00:40:02,413 --> 00:40:05,507
gives you the ability
to fight off any negative suggestions.
589
00:40:05,583 --> 00:40:07,016
Listen to me, Clark.
590
00:40:07,085 --> 00:40:09,383
The only way
you're ever going to be truly safe...
591
00:40:09,454 --> 00:40:11,854
is for you and Lois
to find this terrible person...
592
00:40:11,923 --> 00:40:13,686
before he makes you do anything worse.
593
00:40:13,758 --> 00:40:15,225
Fight it, Superman.
594
00:40:19,163 --> 00:40:20,152
No.
595
00:40:20,264 --> 00:40:22,664
- The ability to fight.
- You and Lois.
596
00:40:22,734 --> 00:40:24,463
Fight it, Superman.
597
00:40:34,979 --> 00:40:36,947
I can fly.
598
00:40:41,919 --> 00:40:43,614
No, you can't. But I can.
599
00:40:43,688 --> 00:40:45,553
Superman, the others.
600
00:41:05,476 --> 00:41:07,103
Are you all right?
601
00:41:09,380 --> 00:41:11,610
- What happened?
- You were hypnotized.
602
00:41:11,682 --> 00:41:15,482
- No, that's impossible, l...
- lf she tries it again, fight it.
603
00:41:15,586 --> 00:41:18,919
Romick was right. We don't have to do
anything we don't want to do.
604
00:41:18,990 --> 00:41:22,050
The moon and the stars
command you to obey my voice.
605
00:41:22,126 --> 00:41:23,593
Fight it.
606
00:41:23,694 --> 00:41:28,324
You won't win, Superman.
Things aren't always what they seem.
607
00:41:30,701 --> 00:41:32,828
You may have super-vision...
608
00:41:32,904 --> 00:41:36,670
but all it takes
is a split second to be fooled.
609
00:41:42,980 --> 00:41:44,880
It's over, Constance...
610
00:41:45,016 --> 00:41:48,144
the satellite,
the Magic Channel, everything.
611
00:41:48,519 --> 00:41:52,956
Perhaps. But I'm still
the world's greatest magician.
612
00:42:04,735 --> 00:42:07,260
Hello, Miss Lane.
613
00:42:12,210 --> 00:42:15,441
Darin Romick was a penniless card hustler
when I found him.
614
00:42:15,513 --> 00:42:19,210
I taught him everything.
Everything my father taught me.
615
00:42:19,784 --> 00:42:21,342
Superman!
616
00:42:24,422 --> 00:42:29,086
No one wanted to see a female illusionist.
They didn't take me seriously.
617
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:33,563
So I got myself a front man
who started to believe in his own success.
618
00:42:33,631 --> 00:42:37,727
All this because nobody wanted to see you
pull a rabbit out of a hat?
619
00:42:38,302 --> 00:42:41,738
It was a secret society
that wouldn't let me in.
620
00:42:42,273 --> 00:42:46,004
Now I'm going to show them all
what true illusion really is.
621
00:42:48,479 --> 00:42:51,039
You had a great talent, Constance.
622
00:42:51,115 --> 00:42:54,050
But you're the one
who wasted it on revenge.
623
00:43:00,358 --> 00:43:02,622
All it takes is a split second.
624
00:43:03,261 --> 00:43:05,786
- You'll be all right?
- I'll be fine.
625
00:43:14,372 --> 00:43:15,361
Mom!
626
00:43:19,343 --> 00:43:21,641
- I love you, Mom.
- I love you.
627
00:43:21,712 --> 00:43:24,772
- How can I ever thank you?
- You've got a pretty tough kid there.
628
00:43:24,849 --> 00:43:26,749
He won't remember a thing. None of us do.
629
00:43:26,817 --> 00:43:28,682
Nick, you take care
of your mom now, okay?
630
00:43:28,753 --> 00:43:29,777
I will. Thanks.
631
00:43:29,854 --> 00:43:34,018
- Be sure to thank Superman for us, too.
- We'll make sure he gets the message.
632
00:43:40,932 --> 00:43:43,366
What happened?
Arthur's mother didn't approve?
633
00:43:43,434 --> 00:43:47,200
- He married an exotic dancer.
- Arthur Chow?
634
00:43:48,506 --> 00:43:51,600
All that itchy, scratchy,
high-necked wool...
635
00:43:51,676 --> 00:43:55,237
and he marries a woman
that can wave hello with her bellybutton.
636
00:43:55,313 --> 00:43:59,545
That's too bad, 'cause I already had
your wedding present all picked out.
637
00:43:59,684 --> 00:44:00,810
You did?
638
00:44:00,885 --> 00:44:04,912
A set of personalized stationery
from the desk of Cat Chow.
639
00:44:09,293 --> 00:44:10,453
So that's it?
640
00:44:10,528 --> 00:44:14,191
All this strange behavior exhibited
by famous people all over the world...
641
00:44:14,265 --> 00:44:16,324
was linked to Constance.
642
00:44:16,500 --> 00:44:20,368
My angle, "Great Minds Sink Alike."
643
00:44:20,438 --> 00:44:21,632
That's brilliant, Jimmy.
644
00:44:21,706 --> 00:44:23,936
All right, that's it,
I cannot stand this anymore.
645
00:44:24,008 --> 00:44:27,603
I learned my lesson. If you don't think
it's a good idea, just say so.
646
00:44:27,678 --> 00:44:29,578
What the sam hill is he talking about?
647
00:44:29,647 --> 00:44:31,877
- He means it, Jimmy.
- No, you're just saying that.
648
00:44:31,949 --> 00:44:33,940
You didn't even call him "chief."
649
00:44:35,319 --> 00:44:36,445
You mean it?
650
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,250
Perry White never says anything
he doesn't mean.
651
00:44:40,958 --> 00:44:44,519
When Dr. Novak was here,
I had him deprogrammed.
652
00:44:45,596 --> 00:44:47,291
Way to go, C.K.
653
00:44:49,767 --> 00:44:51,928
So, you still a skeptic?
654
00:44:52,336 --> 00:44:54,566
A trick's a trick,
no matter how big or small.
655
00:44:54,638 --> 00:44:57,129
Once you figure it out,
it's not magic anymore.
656
00:44:57,208 --> 00:44:59,802
So there's no magic in the world?
Not even just a little?
657
00:44:59,877 --> 00:45:01,003
No.
658
00:45:01,312 --> 00:45:03,507
- Close your eyes.
- What?
659
00:45:03,781 --> 00:45:05,112
Just do it.
660
00:45:06,851 --> 00:45:10,309
- Now count to three.
- One, two, three.
661
00:45:13,057 --> 00:45:16,891
- How did you...
- lf I told you, then it wouldn't be magic.
662
00:46:09,380 --> 00:46:10,369
English
