All language subtitles for Adventures of Superman - 03x05 - Great Caesars Ghost

NARRATOR:
The Adventures of Superman!

Faster than a speeding bullet.

More powerful
than a locomotive.

Able to leap tall buildings
at a single bound.

MAN 1: Look! Up in the sky!
MAN 2: It's a bird!

WOMAN: It's a plane!
MAN 3: It's Superman!

NARRATOR:
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.

[���]

Answer the phone!

[RINGING]

Hello, Kent speaking.

Oh, chief.

What's wrong?

Nothing?

Well, isn't it
kind of late at night

to be calling
if there's nothing wrong?

Late? Of course
it isn't late.

Not for me.

Great Caesar's ghost,
when do you think

I'd get my work done,
if I didn't work at night?

But you worked last night
and the night before.

You haven't been home
for two nights.

What business
is that of yours?

It's my home,
isn't it?

I guess I don't have to go there
unless I want to.

All right, chief.
But why did you phone me?

I don't know.

What?

I mean,
I've forgotten.

I--

It was something
I've been worried about, and--

Well, now you've got me
so confused, I--

Chief, you're not worrying
about your testimony

in the Morley case next week,
are you?

Great Caesar's ghost.
Of course not!

Do you think I'm afraid of
a bunch of confidence men

like that Morley gang?

Besides, Morley himself
is dead now.

Dead as a doornail.
Ha-ha-ha.

Now, chief, listen to me.

Inspector Henderson
is counting heavily

on your testimony
in that trial.

In fact,
you're the star witness.

Oh, stop giving me
a lecture.

I tell you, I'm not afraid
of the Morley gang

or anybody else, but--

Shh!

What?

Be quiet.

I heard a noise.

Well, uh,

somebody's using the elevator,
that's all.

Huh?

How can you tell that
over the phone?

I'm right here,
and I can't tell what it is.

Who do you think you are,
Superman?

Shh!

[WHISPERS]
Kent. I'm sorry.

You were right.
It is the elevator.

Someone's coming.

Chief, I'm sure it's
no one to be afraid of.

Hm.

There you are,

sitting there
safe and sound.

And here I am in the office
all alone.

But of course, it--
[FOOTSTEPS]

Hi.

Who are you?

Cup of coffee you ordered
from the drugstore, Mr. White.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

My coffee.

Y-you see, Kent?
Nothing to worry about.

Not a--
Here you are.

[SIGHS]

That's all right, keep--
Keep the change.

Gee, thanks.

Now, let's see.
Where were we?

Uh, hold it.

I didn't order coffee.

I mean...

Did I?

Search me.

Boss said you called,
that's all I know.

Two lumps of sugar.

Yeah, two lumps.

That's what I take, but--

[TICKING]
What's the matter?

Is your watch ticking?

Huh?
A watch?

Huh. I don't even
have one. Why?

I can hear it.

I can hear it ticking.

Huh. You're a real joker,
Mr. White.

And thanks.

Here! Come back here!
Who are you?

That bag.

There's something in that bag,
I can here it.

I'm hearing things.

Kent.

Kent,
are you still there?

Kent, there's a bomb
in this paper bag.

I can hear it.

Kent, I need help!

Kent!

Oh.

[���]

[SIGHS]

Good evening,
Mr. White.

Superman.

Thank heaven.

Aren't you working
a little late?

There. There in that bag.

There's a bomb in there.

No, no, be careful!

It's just coffee,
that's all.

No. Must be something else,
I heard it.

Mr. White,

why don't you try
and get a little rest?

Kent's told me
how upset you've been.

Don't mention
Kent's name to me, please.

Do you know what
he just did to me?

I was talking to him
on the telephone,

and he hung up on me.

Yes, sir, hung up!

Well, he's probably got
some good explanation.

Anyway, I thought I'd better
get over here in a hurry.

Now, tell me,
Mr. White,

what's been bothering you
these past few days?

You're not the type of man
to be frightened by thugs.

No, no.

It isn't that,
Superman.

Honestly, it isn't.
It's just that--

Well, for the past few days,
I've been hearing--

No.

I can't tell you.

I can't tell anybody.

I don't even know
what it is myself.

PERRY: Don't call me "chief."
JIMMY: I'm sorry, chief--

Sir!
I mean, Mr. White.

WHITE:
Here. Here.

Now, this is
just what I told you.

I wrote it all down.
Now, read it.

Listen.

Poor Jimmy's getting
bawled out for nothing.

If only we knew
what was wrong with Mr. White.

Mm-hm.

I ran into Jarvis
downstairs--

You know
that man of his?

He came into town with
a load of laundry for him.

Maybe we could get him
to go home to the country,

try to get a rest.
I told Jarvis to stick around.

Maybe I can talk the chief
into going with him.

They could take
the Planet plane

and get there
in a few minutes.

The chief could get some sleep--
WHITE: Great Caesar's ghost.

That assignment was
simple enough, wasn't it?

I wonder how many times
a day he says that.

"Great Caesar's ghost."

I don't like it.

Please, Mr. White,
listen to me.

The ballplayer you told me
to interview is dead.

Dead?

That's what I've been
trying to tell you.

He's been dead
for 30 years.

Only every time
I open my mouth,

you act like you're
listening to something else.

Well, Olsen,
maybe I was confused

when I gave you
that assignment.

I thought I heard
the voice and, uh--

Well, look
who's here.

Hanging up
telephones, eh?

Chief, what was it
you just said about a voice?

Huh?

Oh. Never mind.
Just skip it.

Skip everything.

Uh, Miss Lane.

You remember that Western
newspaper I told you about?

The one that has
a feature page

like yours
ought to be?

Yes, I do,
chief, but--

Uh, chief, we'd all
like to talk

to you about
taking a rest--

No. No, I do not
need a rest.

I'm not going home to
the country. And is that clear?

I don't want to hear
another word about it.

But you've been working
so hard.

What if you had
a breakdown?

There,
right on top,

you'll find
that newspaper, Miss Lane.

Take it out
and look at it.

I marked it myself.
It's good.

Chief, if you don't
slow down,

you're headed for
just what Miss Lane said.

Ah!
The steam heater.

Come here,
Mr. Kent.

Now, this is what
I phoned you about last night

when I couldn't
remember, Kent.

I thought I asked you
to move this.

From there to there.

When I work at night,
my feet get cold.

Now, why wasn't
it moved?

Well, chief,
uh, it was Sunday.

And, you know, you can't get
a plumber to work on Sunday.

They've got
a real tight union.

Well, it isn't
Sunday today, is it?

Now, I'm going over to
Inspector Henderson's office.

I'll be gone
about five minutes.

When I'm back, I want
to see that thing moved.

Wow.

You'll never get a plumber
to move that fast.

All it takes is to just
take those pipes and--

Chief...

are you sure
this is the newspaper

you want me to look at?

That you marked up
yourself?

Great Caesar's ghost.
Of course I'm sure!

Don't all of you treat me
as though I were going crazy!

Well, now,
is everything clear?

You've all got
your assignments.

I'll be back
in five minutes.

Clark, look.
[EXHALES]

Paper dolls.

Mm-hm.

Oh, we've got to
stop him.

Poor Mr. White's
losing his mind.

No, Lois, I think
it would be better

if we just humored him.

You kids gone on
back to work.

Both of you, come on.

And I'll try and fix
that steam heater for him.

"Five minutes."

You'll have to get Superman
to help you.

Yes, Jimmy.

[���]

My hat.

My hat.

[CREAKING]

[WHISPERS]
Oh, no.

First, I hear things.

Now, I...

Oh.

Mr. White!

Chief.

Oh, he's
fainted.

No, Jimmy,
he's all right.

[SOFTLY]
Please...

I'll be all right.
Huh.

Oh, uh--

I'm-- I'm sorry
for the way

I've been acting,
but--

But when I--

When I actually
think I--

[SIGHS]

Never mind, I--

I'll do anything you say.

Put me on the plane
with Jarvis.

I'll go home.

I do need a rest.

I'll get you
some coffee, sir.

No, no.

Please leave me
alone, Jarvis.

Go up there.
Ride with the pilot.

I just want
to be alone and rest.

Very good, sir.

[DRONING]

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

What's the matter with me?

Great Caesar's ghost.

[SIGHS]

MAN'S VOICE:
Perry.

I'm calling you,
Perry White.

The voice.

The voice.

Who are you?

Where are you?

Hello, Perry White.

You've never been anyplace
except in my home.

That's why I haven't wanted
to go back there.

Perry White.

[SIGHS]

Now--
Now you're everywhere.

All around me.

Perry, I'm
right here with you.

Where are you?

Who are you?

Answer me.

I'm not afraid.

Who are you?

Where are--?

Come closer.

What? Back there.

Come closer.

Show yourself,
you coward.

I'm not afraid
of you.

Where are you?

Perry.
There.

Perry White.
You're out there.

You're not in here, so
you must be out there.

Perry White.

[���]

[CLEARS THROAT]

Superman.

What happened?

The pilot said
he felt the plane jolt.

The voice.

I heard the voice. It--
It was calling me.

The voice?

Superman, it isn't
possible for a man

like Mr. White
to imagine things like this.

W-what did he hear?

Well, I don't
know.

Must have been
someone.

But it couldn't be
you or the pilot.

You're both
in there together.

What?
Of course not.

But I heard it.

I heard the voice in here.

Superman...

somebody must be
doing this.

Uh, they may have dropped some
contraption, uh, into the plane.

Uh, probably a--
A phonograph record.

Just a moment.

I can answer that
with my x-ray vision.

No.

No, I don't see a single
recording instrument,

or anything that could be
used to produce the sound

of a human voice.
You--

You can't help me.

Nobody can.

It only speaks to me.

But why me?

Why?
And who is it?

[DOOR OPENS]

Yes, sir.

[���]

Ahh!

Pills don't work.

Milk doesn't make me sleepy.

How am I ever gonna rest?

How am I going to rest?

[SIGHS]

Great Caesar's ghost.

MAN'S VOICE:
Perry.

Perry White.

Oh, no.

Not again.

I can't stand it.

I'm too tired.

I don't care who you are
or where you are, or--

But it's your own fault,
Perry White.

All these years,
you've called me.

Call once more.

What?

One million times.

I can no longer
resist you.

Call, Perry White.

What--?

What are you talking about...

"Call one million times"?

Leave me alone.

You won't
leave me alone.

Call once more.

Call what?

Great Caesar's--

Yes. I am
great Caesar's ghost.

Great Caesar's ghost?

Of course.

Who else would I be?

Caius Julius Caesar.

Master of Rome,
of all Europe.

Conqueror of Gaul,
of Pompeii.

That voice.

That voice I've heard--
It's been you.

And on the plane too.

But I never could see you.

Well, when a man's been dead
for 2,000 years,

it's not too easy
to materialize.

Takes a little effort,
you know.

No, no. It--
It just isn't possible.

With Caesar...

all things are possible.

After all,
you've called me so often.

I say, Perry. What a nice
little garden you have here.

Great Cae--
Uh...

I'm sorry, I--

I beg your pardon.

[CHUCKLES]

Quite all right.

Gets to be a habit,
I suppose, heh.

But I've heard you

clearer and clearer

each time
you've mentioned my name.

I've always wondered,

what is it you want of me,
Perry White?

But I don't want you!

Nonsense.

You are my greatest admirer.

Don't be so modest about it.

No, no.
Go away, go away.

Well, it is a little cooler here
than it is Italy,

but, uh...

I think I like it.

Go away, go away!

Please go! Go away.

I wouldn't wave my arms
like that if I were you.

I know what it is.

I'm losing my mind.

I'm losing my mind.
That's it.

Jarvis.

Jarvis, where are you?!

I need help!

Jarvis!

Jarvis, call a doctor.
Call a doctor.

Uh, Mr.--? My, what is it?
What is it?

Out there. Out there
in the garden.

What?

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

He's gone.

Who's gone, sir?

He was
right there.

He was there.

It was the gho--

No, I'd--
I'd rather not tell.

It's all over--

CAESAR:
"Gallia omnia divisa
est in partes tres."

There. Listen.

CAESAR:
"All Gaul is divided
into three parts."

He's reciting
the opening lines

of Caesar's history
of the Gallic Wars.

Do you mean to say
you can't hear that?

CAESAR:
Of course he can't, Perry.

He's not an old friend
like you and I are.

Send him away
so I can reappear.

No, no.
I'm getting out of here.

I've had enough!
Now, Mr. Wi-- White.

Perry, you can't run away
from a ghost. You know that.

Besides, we've got
so much to talk about.

The Gallic Wars,

that business
about Antony and Cleopatra.

All sorts of things.
Please, Mr. White. Please.

Do you mean to say
you can't hear what he's saying?

What who's saying?

[SIGHS]
All I can hear
is a few crickets.

Ah. Great suffering catfish!

I wouldn't summon up any
catfish if I were you, Perry.

Dreadful, squirmy
little things.

Don't tell me
what to do.

And don't try
to be funny!

Oh, please.
Please, sir.

Come on, now.

Please. Please try
and control yourself.

[SIGHS]

[EXHALES]

But...

what am I going to do?

Clark, what's
your name

doing on the door
instead of Mr. White's?

Lois, I didn't ask
for this job.

And, matter of fact,
I don't even want it.

But the chief phoned in to say
he was retiring for good.

Oh, that's ridiculous.

Have you talked to
Jarvis?

Yes. He said the chief's
not only hearing voices,

now he's even answering them.

Oh, the poor
thing.

Wow,
look at that.

"Clark Kent,
editor."

Well, I always knew
you'd make the grade.

Congratulations, chief--
Now, just relax.

That's only for a day or two.

But it won't be
if the chief's that bad.

He may not get well
for years.

Inspector Henderson's
gonna be upset about it.

I just phoned his office,

and they said he was
on the way down here.

[KNOCKING]

Come in.

Kent, what have you people
done to that man?

To Mr. White?
But we haven't done--

Do you know the Morley gang
trial comes up tomorrow?

Do you?
Of course we know.

And our whole case
depends on

the testimony
of Perry White.

I don't suppose
that concerns you.

Well there's no reason
he won't be able to testify.

Ho-ho, no,
not at all.

Not at all.

Except for
one little thing.

White saw Morley
here and there

before he was murdered
by one of his own gang.

So White's testimony
concerns seeing things.

Right?

Right.

Well, the district
attorney and I

have just come
from visiting White.

We went out to go over
what he's gonna say in court

before they start
cross-examining him.

[CHUCKLES]
Ho-ho.

Oh, what a witness
he'll make.

Now, wait a minute, Bill.
I know the chief's upset.

But I'm sure he'll
come through for you.

They'll ask White if he saw
Morley here and there,

and he'll say yes.

They'll ask him, does
he know what he sees,

and he'll say yes.

They'll ask him did he ever see
a ghost, for instance,

and he'll say yes.

What do you mean, a ghost?
What ghost?

[SIGHS]

Oh, I know.

I feel as sorry for him
as you do.

He couldn't possibly
testify in court,

the condition
he's in.

Our star witness
against that gang,

and he's gone
completely off his rocker.

Did he actually tell you
he saw a ghost?

Whose ghost?

Oh, I don't know.

He simply said he had
to study his Latin,

and kicked us out.

What?

You know, the poor
man's so mixed up,

he doesn't talk like
he used to anymore.

He kept saying,
"Great jingle bells."

"Great jingle bells"?

Ha. That's funny.

You mean, instead of
"Great Caesar's g--"?

Lois, I think
I better get out there.

But Clark, you're the editor,
and we've gotta go to press.

I'll go, chief.

You'll what?

I mean, Mr. Kent.

Look, I've been sure all along
there's something fishy

about what's happened
to Mr. White.

If I can prove
the Morley gang's behind it...

You mean they're driving
him out of his mind,

so he can't testify
against them?

Well, they're all loose
on bail, aren't they?

Yes--

Jimmy, this is more
of a job for Superman.

Well, I'm afraid Superman hasn't
seen anything wrong so far.

Be he hasn't even
been out there.

Hey, whatever happened
to Superman, anyway?

Well, I've been so chained
to this desk that--

Don't bother.

If I get into
any trouble,

I'll find Superman
myself.

Now, just a minute,
Jimmy.

I'll phone you when I get out
there this evening, chief.

And don't call me
"chief"!

Caesar, why do you
have to talk all the time?

Oh, really, Perry.
Have some sympathy.

I was known as one

of the greatest orators
of all time.

None of the other ghosts
will listen to me.

You have no idea
how dreadful it is

for a politician
to be silenced.

Oh, if only I knew
how to silence you forever.

Now, now, don't
upset yourself, Perry.

Just take my advice
and relax.

Close your eyes...

and listen.

Friends, Romans,
countrymen,

lend me your ears.

I come--
PERRY: Please, please!

Superman.

Shh.

What are you doing here?

I just heard voices inside.

I know, Jimmy.
Come on around the back.

Poor man.

Sound asleep.

Hi, Jarvis.

Oh, uh, hello,
Julius.

Wait, Jimmy.

That's Mr. White's room
right through there.

Why--?
Why can't you leave now?

W-why can't you
let him alone?

Well, not till
after the trial.

Besides, I'm beginning
to enjoy this.

[CHUCKLES]

Why'd you have to
lay it on so thick,

with all this
raving and ranting?

If poor Mr. White has to listen
to this without a rest, he--

He will go out
of his mind.

[DOOR SLAMS]

That's what he's
supposed to do.

But...
you told me

you weren't going to
hurt him.

Why, the other day,

he nearly jumped
out of that airplane,

searching for
your voice, Julius.

What if something worse happens
to the poor creature?

Well, go on, Superman.
Do something.

Shh. Wait, Jimmy.

We're gonna have to
help Mr. White.

Besides, we need
his testimony in court

to help convict
those men.

We'll wait till
they leave him.

[SIGHS]

Mr. White.

Mr. White.
Wake up.

It's just us.

Don't make any noise.
Don't say anything.

Superman.

Olsen.

Let go of me.

We come to
rescue you.

That ghost
is a fake.

Oh. Is that so?

Well, uh, it just happens
that Mr. Caesar

is a guest in my house.

Mr. White, what's
the matter?

You're talking
crazy.

Come on, Jimmy.

Get out. And don't
come back either.

Superman,
we're too late.

He's clear
out of his mind.

No, Jimmy. He's just
exhausted and confused.

What I have to do is
show up that ghost of his.

And right
in front of him.

You go ahead.

[���]

So that's what
Morley looked like.

Derby hat
and long overcoat.

He wore them all the time.

He was the leader
of their gang, Superman.

And I think they murdered him
to take over for themselves.

We'll find out
soon enough.

I don't get it, Superman.

A coat...

and a derby.

CAESAR:
Perry.

Perry?

Perry White.

[WHISPERS]
Listen.

It's the ghost.

Listen, Jimmy,
give me the hat.

You take that tape recorder
and sneak in the garden.

And I'll show you and
the chief what happens

when one ghost
sees another.

All right, Perry,.
Time for another talk.

[GROANS]
Okay.

Here I am.

I'm glad you don't
resist me anymore.

You do trust me, now,
don't you?

Oh, sure, sure.

SUPERMAN:
Do you believe in ghosts too,
Julius?

Who said that?

There's
no one there.

SUPERMAN:
Here I am.

I can materialize
as fast as lightning.

But that's nothing

for a ghost
to do, is it, Julius?

Who are you? Where did
you get that coat?

This is Morley's coat.

And Morley's hat too.

So I must be Morley,
right?

Only Morley is dead, isn't he?
So I must be his ghost.

There's no such
thing as ghosts.

Careful.
It's a trick.

Oh, you don't
believe me.

Well...watch.

Where is he?
Where did he go?

Look this way, gentlemen.

There's nothing to doing this,
is there, Julius?

Now let's see you do it.

You shouldn't have any trouble
if you're a ghost,

and not just a man wearing
phosphorescent paint.

Let me out of here.
It is Morley.

Stand back.
You're crazy.

Go on, shoot.

[CLICKS]

Look, he--
H-he's isn't hurt.

They just--

They couldn't have
bounced off of him.

They must have gone
through him.

Yes, it looks like
I really am a ghost, doesn't it?

Morley's ghost.

Come to haunt you,
Julius.

We didn't mean
to kill you, Morley.

H-he did it.
He did it.

CLERK:
He helped me.

W-we all killed you,
Morley.

All right, boys,
that does it.

Give me your gun.
Put your hands up.

Well, inspector,

you have
a complete confession.

Jimmy has the whole thing
on his tape recorder.

Mr. White...

I think
you can believe now

that our friend here
is just a fraud.

A plain,
flesh-and-blood crook.

We'll put
these birds in jail

for the rest of
their lives,

which probably
won't be long.

Great Caesar's ghost.

NARRATOR:
