Tsk, tsk.

'Hello.'

- Mr. White.
- Clark.

Yes, sir. How are you?

You sound tan.

'Well, you tell me.'

I get up around 9:00

take a walk on the beach.

I get back.
Alice has breakfast ready for me.

'Weather's perfect. Never changes.'

Haven't been run down by
a cab since I got here.

You're miserable.

Completely.

'How's the novel coming?'

Oh, um..

Well, not so good.

I've been spending most of my time

trying to figure out what
really happened at the Planet.

Yeah. You and me both.

Anything interesting?

Nothing I can prove, yet.

Actually, the reason I'm calling is

have you heard from Jimmy?

He called about a week ago. Sounded fine.

Well, his telephone is disconnected.

And I went by his apartment today

and the landlord said
that he's been thrown out

because he couldn't pay the rent.

Oh. Blast that kid.

Why didn't he tell me?

I'm gonna start an all-out search for him.

You need any help?

Well, I think I can manage, chief.

Oh, damn it, Kent. Tell me you need my help.

I need your help.

See? I thought so.

I'm gonna take the first
flight out in the morning.

'I'll meet you at your place.'

That's great, chief. I'll see you then.

Good. See you then. Ha-ha.

You see, this is right, but this is wrong.

This is wrong. I..

I want the doors on the
master bedroom balcony

to be sliders, you see, because French doors

make the room look too small.

Lex, the master bedroom is 3000 square feet.

That's twice as big as my whole apartment.

And what about this?

What about this exercise area?

Should we move that back
down to the ground floor?

No, I think that's right.

It'd be great to get up
first thing in the morning

and see that stair climber
staring me in the face

saying, "Now, Lois, now."

No, darling, that'll be my line.

Thank you for understanding.

What?

About me wanting to wait
till our wedding night.

I just want it to be special.

It will be.

Lex, could we run through
your schedule for tomorrow?

Of course. Please come in, Mrs. Cox.

You'll notice the Series K field test

is set for 3:45 p.m.

Excellent.

'Mr. Luthor?'

Big Don is in Chicago.

Forgive me. I'll take it in the library.

So, what's "Series K?"

Something we've been working on.

The details are confidential.

Lex and I don't have any secrets.

Really?

Mrs. Cox, is there a Mr. Cox?

He died.

Oh. I'm so sorry, I--

Don't be. I'm not.

Anything else?

Nothing I can't handle.

Good. Well, thank you, Mrs. Cox.

That'll be all for now.

I don't like that woman.

Why?

She's the best assistant I've ever..

Yeah, but, Lois, if you're unhappy, she's--

No. Really, it's fine.

Just..

Lois.

What is it? What's the matter?

- Honey?
- My mother's coming in..

The wedding preparations..

Yeah, I know, but what else?

I was wondering how everybody was.

I haven't talked to Perry or Jimmy or Cat.

Or Clark.

Or Clark, in weeks.

Alright. So, why don't you give them a call?

I think I will.

Have you heard from Jack?

I don't understand that boy.

A-against my advice,
he fires one of the best

criminal lawyers in the country.

He hires a woman out of law school.

I just..

I tried.

I'll talk to him.

I doubt that it'll do any good.

So..

Now, have we decided on a 12-car garage?

Or...the 15?

No cover, no minimum.

All girls all the time.

Girls, girls, and more girls.

Seven. Seven. Count 'em.

Seven revolving stages
for your viewing pleasure.

How much?

Jack?

'You're out?'

Uh, sort of.

It's no big deal.

It's not Alcatraz. It's juvie hall.

You are in a lot of trouble, pal.

You should talk. Nice gig.

It's all I could get.

Where are you staying?

I got a room at the Y. It's not that bad.

Want a roommate?

Jack, why did you break out, huh?

I overheard some stuff.

They brought in a new kid last week.

He's bragging about how he and
his brother pulled this frame-up

planting incriminating
evidence in some guy's crib.

So?

I was the framee.

He was talking about me and the explosive

they found in my place after
the fire at the Planet.

I have to clear my name, Jimmy.

And it's not gonna happen
with me on the inside.

I'm gonna need help.

Hello.

Hi.

It's me.

Hi. How are you?

Terrific.

You?

Great.

So, how's the rest of the gang?

'Perry's actually coming out to
stay with me for a few days.'

We're a little worried about Jimmy.

He, uh..

He moved out of his apartment.

'Well, he's okay?'

I-I mean, you'd think if he was in trouble

he would call me or you, wouldn't he?

Yeah, I'm sure he would.

'How is your new job?'

Oh.

You know, settling in.

'You?'

I'm busy, you know, exploring my options.

I'm sure you'll find something.

'Yeah.'

Well, it's kinda late.

I guess I'm gonna...go to bed.

Me too.

Clark?

Yes?

I miss you.

I miss you, too, Lois.

'Goodnight.'

Ooh.

- Chief.
- Hey, Clark.

It's good to see you. So good to see you.

Well, it's good to be back

even if it is just for a couple of days.

Oh, thank you. Appreciate it.

So, what'd you tell Alice?

Son, I've been married 25 years.

And if there's one thing I've learned

it's don't lie to your wife.

So, what'd you tell Alice?

I told her I was going fishing.

No word from Jimmy, huh?

Not a thing.

Boy, I wonder where that kid is.

'He's right behind you, chief.'

- 'Hey!'
- 'Hey.'

- Jimmy.
- How you doing?

Good, good. Good to see you.

How are you? Where you been?

Well, uh, it's a long story

but first things first.

- You got anything to eat?
- Yeah. Yeah.

Canadian bacon, right?

You remembered.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'd like to order two large pizzas

to be delivered, please.

Uh, CK

I think you better make that three pizzas.

Pete was his name.

Pete Black and his brother John.

Anything about who hired him?

Just that it was someone important.

They got paid a ton of money.

He called him "The Boss."

Alright, Jimmy, Jack

'I want you to find out where we can'

'contact this John Black character.'

And, Clark, get me whatever you can

on anyone called "The Boss."

I'm going to start digging into some of the

Daily Planet finances.

Just like old times.

You two might as well bunk
here for a while with me.

What about me?

You're gonna go back to
juvenile detention center.

We'll figure out some way to tell them--

'I can't.'

Pete Black just didn't
happen to get sent to juvie.

'He was put there to look for me.'

Maybe it's time to call in the big guns.

The police?

No.

Lois.

Uh, no, chief.

She's too busy getting
ready for her wedding.

Uh, excuse me for a sec. Uh..

I left some clothes in the dryer.

Superman.

Thank you for coming but it's a false alarm.

The security system's just
gone crazy all of a sudden.

Sorry to take up your time like this.

No problem at all. I..

Superman.

You okay, Superman?

Superman?

You okay?

Superman?

Uh, yeah, I'm okay.

We have the genuine article, Lex.

Works like a charm.

I thought it was destroyed, too, mom

but then I remembered the
chunk that was supposedly

sent to the university for testing.

Yeah. The piece that disappeared.

Uh, the key's under the mat, chief.

Huh?

I will be careful, mom, I promise.

Yeah. Bye.

Clark!

Hey. How in the world did
you know I was out there?

Oh, uh, here, chief.
Let me take this for you.

Oh, thank you. How you doing?

Good. How did it go?

Well, every single member

of the Daily Planet's old board of directors

has been ducking me.

I finally did get a hold of
a transcript of the session

where they agreed to
sell the paper to Luthor

but my, uh, my instinct tells me

they're hiding something from me.

What I need is some leverage.

I just hope we're not too late.

Wedding's coming up pretty fast, huh?

Two days.

Maybe it doesn't even matter what we find.

Maybe Luthor's what she wants.

Here all this time I thought we were

trying to save the Daily Planet.

We are, chief. I just..

I'm just funning with you, son.

You know, women are a little like trout.

You get them on a line,
you tug a little bit too hard

they're gonna go free.

You just gotta hope that
fate and the currents

kinda drift them your way.

We still got a couple days.

Yeah. You're right, chief.

Let's get to work.

Just about every criminal
element in Metropolis

pays protection money to a shadowy character

they call "The Boss."

Most of them have no idea who he is

and those who might, too terrified to talk.

There was additional insurance

on the Daily Planet building

through a subsidiary of LexCorp

called "Lexell Investments."

'Well, I found John Black.'

Now, all we have to do is set the guy up.

The Planet board originally voted

not to sell to Lex Luthor

'then suddenly they all
changed their minds.'

'They're all also driving new Ferraris.'

If Luthor first manipulated the board

to sell the Planet to him

and then burned it down
to collect the insurance

what if the boss is actually Lex Luthor?

Okay. Good.

Exactly. That's what I thought.

Alright. Well, let's just keep at it.

See you back at the apartment.

Need a lift, big boy?

Present from Luthor?

I borrowed it.

Well, then I guess you owe him one,
don't you?

Clark, come on, get in.

Please?

What do you want, Lois?

I want you to come to my wedding.

- I can't.
- Why not?

I just, I can't.

You hate him that much?

Or is it me you hate now?

I could never hate you, Lois

but I'm not gonna sit there

and watch you walk down
the aisle with that--

What? Thief? Gangster? Psychopath? Murderer?

Maybe all of the above.

Can't you see what is happening?

You are driving us
farther and farther apart.

I'm not the one doing the driving, Lois.

You are.

And if you're so sure

Lex is filled with good intentions

you might wanna ask him
about Lexell Investments

and the extra insurance policy

they took out on the Daily Planet.

A policy that may have made it very easy

to rebuild the paper.

You're an investigative reporter, Lois.

Investigate.

'You're an investigative reporter, Lois.'

'Investigate.'

Modern surveillance technology
is such a beautiful thing.

Don't you think, Mrs. Cox?

If the Borgias had had it,
they'd still be running Italy.

Shall I take the necessary precautions?

A billion for your thoughts.

Sold.

No, I was just thinking how

'everything's falling into line.'

I made the Daily Planet
vulnerable for takeover.

I bought it and I destroyed it.

I broke Lois Lane from
her comfortable routine

and made a few bucks in the process.

And now when these highly
insulting accusations

of Mr. Kent prove false

well, it should drive the final wedge

between Lois and her old life.

Part one of your plan is complete.

'Time for Part two.'

To conclude our business with Superman.

Is everything complete?

- Yes.
- Good.

Why don't you put in a call to Mr. Kent?

Tell him I'd appreciate very much

if he'd contact his friend
Superman on my behalf.

I'd like a word with the Man of Steel

concerning Lois Lane.

Hm..

Not quite ready.

Come in! Come in, come in.

Don't be shy.

You know,
they say that civilization was invented

so that men could cooperate
in the making of wine.

What do you want, Luthor?

A favor.

A favor? From me? You must be joking.

Oh, but wait. Hear me out.

Lois Lane, my fiancee

'should be deliriously happy'

'at the prospect of our forthcoming wedding'

but unfortunately, she's not.

She misses her friends at the Daily Planet

particularly...Clark Kent.

So..

Well, so you and Clark are friends.

He was able to bring you here.

I'm not following, Luthor.

I would like you to use your influence

to convince Clark to attend our wedding.

Of course, you're invited, too.

You live in a fantasy world, Luthor.

Neither Clark nor I will ever do anything

to support your marriage to Lois.

I see.

Well,
then I suppose I have no further use for you.

Bars won't...hold me, Luthor.

Oh.

I think they will.

I live in a fantasy world?

Perhaps.

But my fantasy is about to come true.

It's about time.

'Where's CK?'

'I don't know.'

He should have been here by now.

Crayfish etouffee, anyone?

Uh...actually, we just ate.

Well, you'll eat again.
You don't wanna miss this.

See, I use the sweet paprika,
not the regular

and cayenne, plenty of it.

But the real secret is in the apple juice.

Just the half a cup.

Okay, let's get this table set.

What'd you get?

Plenty.

This John Black character

will do just about anything he's paid to do.

Break in, plant explosives, you name it.

Just like he did for this woman Mrs. Cox

and the case of our young Jack here.

This is beautiful.

We'll get that tape down
to Inspector Henderson

first thing in the morning

along with a statement from Jack.

Well, looks like you're off the hook,
buddy boy.

Congratulations.

Thanks. I've got something, too.

Mr. Simon Trusdale, former board member

of the Daily Planet

he's had a sudden attack of conscience.

He's now willing to admit
he received a substantial

cash inducement, I think he called it

to support the sale of the Planet to Luthor.

Any particular reason for this
sudden attack of conscience?

Well, it may have something to
do with a certain video tape

which he hopes his wife never receives.

Poor woman.

Not after the divorce settlement.

What about you, chief?

Well, now, Lexell Investments
did have additional insurance

on the Daily Planet building.

How much?

About twice what it would

take to repair it.

Lex Luthor walked away

with a cool 75 million.

Then that's motive. He's nailed.

So, what are we waiting for?

Clark. Sit down. Let's eat.

You know, this is all wonderful, of course

but the problem is

it's still not gonna bring back the Planet.

Well, you see

Elvis'
first recording session with Sam Phillips

didn't turn out too well.

That was June, '54.

Yeah, but you see

July, he was right back in the studio.

Started turning out his
first couple of hits.

Tell me there's a point to this.

Elvis didn't give up, we won't, either.

- You got it?
- Yeah, I got it.

I hope you like it spicy.

Mmm.

Ah.

A perfect evening.

I don't think I've ever
had better garlic chicken.

I think that Chef André deserves a raise.

- Mmm.
- Hm.

And a magnificent production of Othello.

I particularly liked the
black and white sets.

I thought they were very inventive.

Mm-hmm.

Did you know that Shakespeare
didn't write Othello?

That it turns out it was
actually written by Dr. Seuss.

- Hmm.
- Mmm.

Am I boring you?

What?

Am I boring you?

No, of course not.

I'm sorry.

I just keep thinking
about that enormous stack

of RSVPs on my desk.

Mmm.

- Minus a few.
- Mm.

At least my mom's gonna be there.

Hm.

You know, it's not just my family.

Not one of the people

I thought I was closest to is coming.

I just wanted our wedding day

to be something I could share with Clark

and Perry and the others.

I promise that after the honeymoon

all these old wounds will be healed.

You still haven't told me where we're going.

- No.
- Not even a hint?

No, no. Alright, one.

Clothing is optional.

Lex, when the Planet was destroyed

you lost a lot of money, didn't you?

Mmm.

Well, luckily I have broad
shoulders and deep pockets.

But I mean, it wasn't a total loss.

You had insurance?

Sure, several policies but, unfortunately

not enough to warrant reconstruction.

Why the sudden concern?

Well, I can't help but think that you

bought the Planet in the
first place because of me.

I did.

I'm embarrassed to admit it

but I bought the Planet out of some

love sick attempt to
bring us closer together

to bring my life in tune with yours

but ironically, it wasn't necessary.

Here we are together.

We were meant to be together.

It was fate.

We don't even have to change
the monograms on our towels.

In here, Mr. White.

Oh, uh, Mr. Stern.

Come in, Mr. White.

- Please, sit down.
- Yes, sir.

I appreciate you seeing
me at this late hour.

Perry. May I call you Perry?

Oh, sure.

I put in a 14-hour day. Always have.

If I show my face at home before 11 p.m.

my wife calls the police.

I'm sure you know what that's like.

Only too well.

It's strange we never met.

I'm very familiar with your work, of course.

As I am with yours.

I miss reading the Daily Planet.

It has imitators but no true successor.

Metropolis has lost an asset.

Well,
those of us who worked there were proud

to call it home.

And well, that's, uh

that's the reason I've come.

I didn't think you were here looking

for a fourth for bridge.

Now, Mr. Stern

you own television, radio stations.

You have interests in book publishing.

Have you ever considered owning a newspaper?

Perry, correct me if I'm wrong.

There is no newspaper.

Now, the Daily Planet was a lot more

than just steel girders and concrete.

It was people, it was ideas, principles.

Those still exist.

There is a newspaper.

We just don't have a place to print it.

Even if that were true

why would I wanna own the Daily Planet?

I can't imagine anyone
wanting anything else.

I'm sorry, my answer is no.

I wish you luck, though,
in finding some way to rebuild.

When you do, you have my subscription.

I appreciate it.

I just hate to see Lex Luthor win.

- What?
- Lex Luthor.

We've gathered evidence
that strongly suggests

that he's behind the
fall of the Daily Planet.

I'd just like to see the
expression on his face

when I..

Ah. Oh, well, I, uh..

I appreciate you seeing me, sir. Thank you.

And how are we feeling today?

Oh, still feeling a little green

around the gills, are we? Heh-heh!

I on the other hand, am feeling wonderful.

She's beautiful, therefore to be wooed.

She's woman, therefore to be won.

It's Henry V.

Oh, I know, it must be tough

lying there,
seeing me all decked up like this

on my way to marry Lois Lane

while you lie there helplessly and suffer.

And tonight.

♪ And tonight tonight ♪

♪ Won't be just ♪

♪ Any night ♪♪

I love Lois, I do. I really do.

But she's just a little too independent,
don't you think?

Well, I'll take care of that.

Clark Kent knows where I am.

Well, yes, I'll have to kill him, too.

But that reminds me.
Which one, the red or the white?

The red for passion and
the white for purity.

Well, I agree. Definitely, the red.

Luthor..

Oh, how strange.

How strange to hear you say my name

and know that it may be

for the last time.

But am I making a mistake?

Will the pain of losing the
challenge that you represent

be worse than the pain of
constantly losing to you?

Nah.

I'll be back, when it's over.

'Then you and I will have a nice little'

heart, mmm, heart to heart.

Have a nice death.

♪ Tonight tonight.. ♪♪

Oh.

'Ten minutes, Mrs. Luthor.'

Mrs. Lex Luthor.

Lois Lane Luthor.

Lois..

...Luthor Lane.

Lois...Lane..

...Kent.

Lois Lane.

Mom, what am I gonna do?

Oh, honey, if you're not sure--

It's too late.

No, it's not.

You do what your heart tells you to do.

You are a strange one, Clark Kent.

- Am I?
- Yeah.

But I think I've got you figured out.

Clark.

Just a sec, Lois, I..

Goodbye, Lois.

The Arch Bishop?

Yes. I'm sorry.
The pope had a prior engagement.

You look...beautiful.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today

in the sight of God and
in the presence of these

'witnesses to join together
this man and this woman'

'in holy matrimony.'

'If anyone knows why this
union should not take place'

'let them speak now or
forever hold their peace.'

'Do you, Lex, take this woman'

'to be your wedded bride
from this day forward'

'for richer, for poorer'

till death do you part?

I do.

And do you, Lois

take this man to be your wedded husband

'from this day forward'

'for richer, for poorer'

'in sickness and in health'

to love and to cherish
until death do you part?

I..

I..

Lois.

I can't.

Lois!

Lex, they came!

Stop the wedding. You can't marry this man.

Well, is there an echo in here?
I just said that.

What's the meaning of this?

The meaning of this is,
Luthor, you're through.

We have all the evidence
against you we need.

Evidence? Evidence for what?

This is a warrant for your arrest for arson

and other crimes too numerous to mention.

You're out of your minds, both of you.

You have the right to remain silent.

You have the right to an attorney.

'If you cannot afford an
attorney one will be supplied--'

Will you shut up?
I can afford a thousand attorneys.

I'll have your badge.
I'll have your head for this.

Get me the governor on the phone.

Get me the president!

'Get him on the phone!'

Et tu, Mrs. Cox?

Lois, I'm sorry.

'We'll take a rain check.'

Something's come up.

- Let's go, pal.
- You let go of me!

'Don't worry. We'll get him.'

I got the building sealed off!

This way! This way!

Oh, honey, I know things

haven't worked out the way you planned,
but--

Why?

Isn't this the way every girl dreams

her wedding's gonna be?

Sorry, Superman, no time to chat.

I'll just take my pound of flesh and..

I've always been such a
good judge of character.

Don't blame yourself. He fooled all of us.

- Not me.
- I never trusted him.

Where's Clark?

'Right here.'

'He's heading for the penthouse.'

It's over, Luthor. Give it up.

Lex Luthor will not live in a cage.

Luthor, no!

Did you know this is the
tallest building in Metropolis?

Did you?

Top of the world.

I-I can't.

Ah!

I wish they'd just get it over with

and tear this place down.

Yep. Too many memories.

Most of them good.

Well, you know, there's a lesson
to be learned in all of this.

- Why am I not surprised?
- Well..

We should appreciate what
we got when we got it.

'I know I've said this before'

but I just hate it that Luthor

got his way in this one thing.

He didn't! Look!

What is that?

Great shades of Elvis!

We'll start on the building next week

but first, I thought we'd announce

to the world we're back in business.

I, uh, reconsidered your proposal.

And I agree with you, Mr. White.

Metropolis does need the Daily Planet.

Besides,
one more nail in Lex Luthor's coffin

would suit me fine.

I do have some ideas about modernization.

Uh, modernization?

Yes, improvements, expansion.

Wanna see the plans?

Uh, Mr. Stern, just a doggone minute here.

'I, uh.. Uh, Stern!'

'What do you mean by modernization?'

I've never seen anything so
beautiful in my entire life.

You never gave up..

...on the Planet.

On your friends.

On me.

I couldn't.

You've just named probably
everything in this world

that's precious to me.

I don't think I have ever..

Will ever meet anyone quite like you.

- Lois.
- Clark.

No, let me go first--

No, no, no, not this time.

Lois, I'm sorry about a lot of things.

I wanted to bring Luthor down

but I never wanted to hurt you.

I shouldn't have said anything

about the way I felt toward you.

It put you in an incredibly
awkward position.

No, Clark, I really--

No, no. The truth of the matter is, Lois

it wasn't true. I..

I'm not in love with you. I..

You're not?

I would have said anything

to stop you from marrying Luthor.

Oh.

Well, if that's how you feel..

I want the same thing that you want

for us to be friends

partners...forever.

Forever.

What did you want to say?

Oh...nothing.

Yeah, what you said, um, just that, sort of.

'Help! Help! Somebody, please help!'

Uh, could you excuse me for a second, Lois?

We can continue later.
I have to go real quick.

Sure.

Why not? Go.

Run off and disappear like you always do

when we're having a discussion.

Well, guess everything's back to normal.

I'm not done with you, either, big fella.
