[intense music]

(male #1)
'It's out here.'

[detector beeping]

[indistinct chatter]

[beeping faster]

[music continues]

[indistinct chatter]

[beeping faster]

Come here.

[music continues]

[clang]

(male #2)
'Be careful now.'

[laughing]

(Bill Church Jr.)
'Yes. Yes, I saw it, dad.'

Well, of course I'm upset.

No. No, it's not good.

How's your golf score?

Oh, sorry I asked.

Well, you know how windy
it is at Kapalua.

Okay, talk to you soon.

Mm-hmm, bye.

[sighs]

One of these days, I am
going to get you, Perry.

Then we'll see who's smiling.

[knock on door]

Come.

This better be good.
I'm in a bad mood.

Uh, Mr. Church..

...as you know, over a year ago

your father
commissioned my team

to try to find some Kryptonite.

Ah, I know.

Now, using the data

we recovered from Bureau 39

we knew approximately where
Superman's spaceship crashed.

And last night, we found this

12.7 kilometers

from the ship's
estimated point of impact.

From what I can tell
by my experiments

what you are looking at is..

'...Kryptonite.'

(Bill)
'Kryptonite?'

I thought it was green.
This is red.

Is there a difference?
What can it do?

- Can it kill Superman?
- I don't know.

All I do know is its
atomic weight and structure

are just slightly different
from green Kryptonite.

So...what we need
is a field test.

Of course, that means we'll
have to send someone expendable.

Someone we at Intergang won't
miss if they wind up in jail.

How about you, Gene?

[dramatic music]

My pleasure, sir.

So, how was your date
with Agent Scardino?

Now, there's one of my favorite
sights in the whole world.

The truck that delivers
our payroll checks.

Lois, if you don't want to
talk about it I understand.

[sighs]

It was okay.

And you talked about..

Things.

Lots of things.

At least he stuck
around long enough

to have a conversation.

Unlike some people I know

who are always running off.

Lois, I'm not
always running off.

(male #3)
'Alright, get your hands
in the air.'

Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt.

I'll call the cops.

Uhh! Unbelievable!

Help! They're robbing the truck!

Don't worry, Lois.

They'll be in jail before
you can say cappuccino.

[whoosh]

I'm afraid you'll have
to take a rain check

on those checks, boys.

Oh, really?

Well, uh,
what if we don't want to?

[intense music]

Well...maybe nothing.

I mean, they'll just
have to reissue the checks.

So, what do I care?

Uh, right.
Come on.

Alright, let's go!
Let's go!

We're out of here.

Come on!
Get in, get in!

Superman, you let them get away.

It's no big deal, Lois.

Most criminals are
repeat offenders.

I'll probably just catch
them again later.

What?

And if I don't, well...see ya.

[wind buzzing]

Hey, come back here!

[theme music]

[music continues]

I mean, I kept thinking
I was gonna wake up

and it was all gonna be
some terrible nightmare.

You know, he just stood there

and let them drive right off.

Well, you know, Lois,
there is such a thing

as individual responsibility.

What does that mean?

Well, the payroll company
was responsible

for the safety of the checks,
not Superman.

Let them deal with it.

Well, what about
the individual's responsibility

to society as a whole?

The social contract
that obligates one person

to help another
for the benefit of everyone?

Well, if that's the way
you feel about it, great.

Otherwise, I say kick back,
enjoy, do your own thing.

- Clark, donut?
- Are you serious?

As a bear claw

or would you prefer
chocolate-covered?

[chuckles]

(Gene)
'Now, right here,
that's where Superman comes in.'

Now, I talk to him
and then.. Bang!

We open the box
and look at him.

'He gets within 10 feet
of that thing'

'his whole mood changes'

'it's like
he doesn't even care.'

[laughing]

Well, this is better
than killing him.

He just doesn't care.

That was the problem
with that green Kryptonite.

It always ticked him off.

But no. No, this is perfect.

For operation Nirvana to succeed

it's essential
we control the media

and that means
the "Daily Planet."

And if Franklin Stern

won't sell the "Planet" to me..

...then we'll just
have to do things

the old-fashioned way.

And Perry White's pal Superman

won't be able to do
a thing about it.

[laughing]

CK, I-I-I got
those photographs you wanted

from the Quine project.

What?
Oh, uh, sorry.

I was just wondering about

why Superman let
those crooks go today.

Yeah, that was wild, huh?

I mean, what was he thinking?

I don't know. I..

He just, he didn't
seem to...care.

Well, those are
the luckiest crooks

in Metropolis, huh?

Not for long.

Because when Superman makes up
his mind to do something

he doesn't just stand around.

Excuse me.

Lois lane?

- 'Ma'am?'
- 'Ohh.'

Sign here, please.

- Thanks.
- Let me guess.

Agent Scardino's on a stakeout
in a florist's shop.

Jealousy is so unbecoming,
don't you think?

I wouldn't exactly
call it jealousy, Lois.

But maybe we can talk
about it Saturday night

over dinner or after a movie?

I have plans Saturday.

Look, Lois, I know that
I sometimes seem to dart away

just when things
start to get serious

but right now I feel like
you're the one

who's backing away.

Oh, look, a note.

"Dear Lois, sorry, but I
need to reschedule lunch.

"Have to go out of town.

"should be back by Saturday.

"Can't wait.

Yours in tulips, Dan."

"Yours in tulips."

You know, maybe Scardino
has finally realized

that he's just no good for you

and now he's gonna
start avoiding you.

Was that a joke?

Kind of.

Look, seriously, Lois..

[sighs]

Maybe you and I are just both
afraid of the same thing.

Of being completely intimate

with each other.

Well, thank you
for your analysis, Dr. Freud.

Now maybe you could turn
that power of analysis

to the robbery.

Did you find anything out
from the cops yet?

No, nothing.

(Perry)
'Now, listen, Franklin'

'just don't do
anything drastic.'

I know things haven't gone
the way we'd all like.

I wonder how
Mr. Stern's taking it.

Judging by the way
Perry's pacing

I'm going to
have to say not good.

(Perry)
'No, no, no, Franklin,
I disagree.'

The "Planet" is more
hard-hitting than ever.

We're the lead man
in the fight for justice

the last bastion of truth
in Metropolis

'the lighthouse of.. Oh.'

Alright, uh, uh, call me
when you get to Paris.

'Yeah. You, too.'

Alright, uh, my best to Muriel.

[sighs]

Am I losing my edge?

No. Why do you ask?

Ah...no reason.

So what did Mr. Stern
have to say?

Mr. Stern...has an offer
on the table.

and he's thinking about
...selling the "Planet"

to Multiworld Communications.

What? Not to Intergang!

Now, Lois, we have no proof
that Intergang runs--

Everybody on the street
knows it.

Bill Church ran Intergang

and then when he retired
his son took over.

Alright let's just put
a brake on that wagon

right here and now.

Now, I know you've been
working on this story

since November

but now you're talking about
Bill Church Jr.

And I've known him
ever since he was old enough

to spit up on me.

Oh, and that
makes him innocent?

Billy used to caddy
for me and his dad.

And the only thing
he took over from Bill, Sr.

was Costmart stores.

And he's doubled the stock
and he's become

one of the biggest

philanthropists
in the whole world!

And one of the biggest fakes.

[sighs]

So, chief,
what did Mr. Stern say

he was going to do
about the offer?

Well, between
this printers' strike

and now
the delivery boys' sickout

and this payroll thing

he was having, he was this close
to selling the "Planet."

But I talked him out of it.

- Great.
- 'At least for the time being.'

We've got 72 hours
and then we're goners.

Unless...you can convince
Mr. Stern and me

that Bill Jr. runs intergang.

Seventy two hours?

Chief, it'll take us that long

just to organize our research.

Hey, you going to run
with the billionaires

you got to run fast.

Alright, let's break for lunch.

You can bring me up to speed
on what you got so far.

Chief, it's 9:15 in the morning.

So what?

Am I in charge here?

Oh, man, you know

I got so much on my mind

I left my wallet in the car.

Be right back.

I can hardly wait to have
some nice fat pastrami

at 9:30 in the morning.

Yeah, yahoo.

But if it helps keep us
from being sold to

Multiworld Communications

I'm all for it.

What, you don't want
to write articles like

"my stepmother was
an alien go-go dancer?"

(Perry)
'Hey! Get the hell
away from me!'

Hey! Hey!

Stay the hell away from me!

Clark! Oh.

- Hey!
- Perry!

(Perry)
'My arm!'

Let go of my arm!

That was a big mistake.

[dramatic music]

Gentlemen.

Oh.

'Lucky for you
Superman showed up.'

[intense music]

I was just about to do
a tap dance on your heads.

Go ahead.

- What?
- Go ahead.

Tap dance or Conga.

'Do whatever you want.'

I mean, what would you do

if I wasn't here?

Superman?

What?

Hey, you can't. Oh!

Uhh.

Go!
Move it!

Unh.

[dramatic music]

[dog barking]

Come on.

So is that Tiffany
with an "I" or a "Y?"

Oh, Superman,
Perry's just been kidnapped!

With an "I."

I didn't want to seem
cliched, you know.

Well, go get 'em!
Go stop the truck!

Lois, don't have a stroke.

What do you think
police are for?

[dog barking]

So, do you, like,
have to workout and stuff?

Nope. It's all natural.

You want to feel?

I'm going to go call the cops.

Cool.

Wow!

[laughs]

So how long have you been in the
canine personal-care industry?

Oh, this isn't my normal job.

I'm really an actress.

No! Really?

[dog barks]

...more time in jail
than a cat with nine lives.

Need anything,
just pick up the phone.

Yeah, I'd be picking up
the phone to my lawyer

if I were you.

[clapping]

Bravissimo.

I would expect nothing less

from the crusading Perry White.

Billy?

Ha. They..

They got you, too?

Actually, they work for me.

So, in effect, I've got you.

Care to run that by me again?

Intergang. I run it.

Now do the pieces fit?

Yeah, like horns
on a June bug.

So you were behind
Multiworld Communications'

offer to buy the "Planet," huh?

Of course.

You see, I not only took over
dad's legit businesses

I also took over
Intergang as well.

Kind of a two-for-one deal.

Unfortunately

you made Mr. Stern
hesitate on our bid

'so I thought this might
tip the scales a bit.'

Perry, I brought you here

because I want to
make you an offer.

I want you to be
part of the Intergang family.

'Why, you and Alice will be
taken care of for life.'

We got a great medical program

and a terrific retirement plan.

Anyway...I know
this is a lot to absorb.

Think about it.

We'll talk again and then, uh

we'll see.

[door closes]

A cave?

Ah.

Superman, where are you
when I need you?

Superman, Perry
was being kidnapped

and you just stood there.

'What's going on?'

I honestly don't know.

You don't know.

Well, who do I call
who does know.

Miss Cocker Spaniel?

Lois, it's difficult to explain

but it's like suddenly
I just don't care.

You don't care?

How could you not care?

Perry is gone

and the "Planet"
is practically sold!

Here. Maybe this will help.

[buzzing]

I should have thought
of this sooner.

No kidding.

- Jimmy?
- Yeah?

I want you to fax this
to the police.

Get a copy of it to everybody
we know on the street

especially Bobby Bigmouth.

Somebody's got to know this guy.

You got it.

Uh, Superman..

...have you ever had
these...moods before?

Never.

And now all of a sudden
for no particular reason

you're feeling kind of down.

'Kind of like, what's
the point of everything?'

Exactly.

Hmm. Well..

...I think you should
call this number.

She did wonders
for my sister Lucy.

"Dr. Friskin?"

She's a psychotherapist.

A shrink?

[buzzing]

Ahem.

Alright.

Uh-huh.
No permanent address.

'No social security number'

and no medical insurance.

I assume you'll be
paying in cash?

Well, uh--

Superman?
I'm Dr. Friskin.

I haven't been myself lately.

I've been feeling

apathetic toward

everything.

And this worries you.

Dr. Friskin,
every day I make choices

that affect the lives
of millions of people.

Life and death,
good and evil.

Sometimes the fate
of the whole world

depends on the things that I do

or the choices that I make

so, yes, this worries me.

So...you're-you're
feeling stressed?

So, have you thought
any more about my offer?

Your offer.

Hmm.

Let's see, uh..

All I have to do..

'...to take you up
on your offer'

'is, uh,
what...give up my pride..'

...my integrity..

Throw away the public trust

that I've earned through
35 years of hard work?

Just to back off
my responsibility

to the American people
to give them the truth?

Basically.

Yeah, well,
I won't do it!

Then instead of
stopping the kidnappers

I was...talking to a girl.

Did you find
this girl attractive?

Yes.

But I-I should have
been helping Perry.

Hmm...do you have
a girlfriend right now?

Yes.

[sighs]

'No.'

It's kind of complicated.

I haven't exactly...told her
everything about me.

And I'm afraid that that is..

Well, it's making her drift
toward this other guy.

Does he have superpowers, too?

You know, Perry,
I talked to your mom today.

- My mom?
- Mm-hmm.

Love the rest home.
Very tasteful.

You know?

She's in great shape
for a woman her age.

She cheats at bridge
but she's in great shape.

She sends her love.

My mother would
twist your head off

if she'd known what you'd done.

No doubt.

Oh and Alice says
to say hello, too.

Though...don't you think
she deserves a new car?

You know, after a few years

things start to go wrong..

...like brakes.

[intense music]

Now look...Billy..

I want you to, uh

put our differences aside here.

We go back a long time.

Think of
what you're saying, son.

This is Alice.

This is Alice
you're talking about!

- Perry, please--
- Please, please, not Alice!

Perry, get a grip on yourself.

Don't worry.

I'm a very patient man.

To a point.

[intense music]

[door closes]

Mr. Stern, Lois Lane here.

Well, no,
Perry isn't in right now

because he had to, uh

had to meet a source

that would only talk to him.

Uh, no, we haven't
got any more

on the Intergang connection

but we're working on it.

Well, yes, I know
I speak for Perry

when I say that it would be

a bad idea to sell.

Oh, sure, no problem.

Well, say hello
to the Eiffel Tower for me.

Oh, you're in Rome now.

Ciao.

Why didn't you tell him
Perry'd been kidnapped?

Because that's the one thing
that would make him sell.

One more crisis and boom.

We're all gonna be
writing headlines

about Oprah's latest diet.

We got to keep this thing quiet.

Okay, okay.
Bali or Seychelles?

Uh, Perry isn't here now, Karl.

Oh, I need an answer now.

The Sunday mag closes in five.

Well...run both.

That means I need more copy.

Oh, God!

(Superman)
'Sometimes, you know'

I-I think about
taking on a secret identity.

I'm speaking
hypothetically, of course.

You see, that way, I could--

(Dr. Friskin)
'Oh, I'm sorry.'

We're gonna have to stop.

Stop?

Uh, my next appointment's here.

Um, we can continue tomorrow.

Say, uh, 10:00 a.m.?

Uh, yeah, sure

as long as I'm not out

saving the world or something.

Fine.

[telephone ringing]

Uh, doctor, may I?

Sure. Go right ahead.

[intense music]

[music continues]

All done.

Thank you.

[intense music]

[door opens]

Hey, Billy

'you run a first-class
prison here.'

Oh, Perry, don't think of it
as a prison.

I'd like you
to think of this place

'as your future
corporate headquarters.'

Hah! I'll never join Intergang.

Heh...perhaps you don't

fully understand the situation.

You see, if you work for me

you get rich beyond
your wildest dreams.

If, on the other hand

you continue to cling
to your misguided morality

you die.

Now, at Harvard Business School

uh, we'd call that
a no-brainer.

[door opens]

It's alright.

Whatever you have to say,
you can say in front of Perry

'because he's either going to be
part of our team'

or he'll soon be playing
for the angels.

Oh, I've put the red Kryptonite
in Dr. Friskin's office.

Red Kryptonite?

What in Sam Hill is that?

Well, we discovered it
by accident

but, uh, we're very pleased
with its effects on Superman.

See, evidently, it makes him
very apathetic about his work.

So that's why he didn't
try to save me, huh?

But he thinks he's having

some kind of nervous breakdown.

[laughs]

See, it's perfect.

Superman is going to a shrink
to get well

but all he'll get

is more exposure
to the red Kryptonite.

My scientists tell me that

his condition
could become permanent.

Permanent?

Oh, by the way

send a nice little gift off
to Friskin's receptionist

for tipping us off.

something along the lines of..
A Mercedes.

Already handled, Mr. Church.

You know..

...I'm ashamed I ever let you
spit up on me.

Do I really want to
continue being Superman?

Of course.

Why?

Well, because...people need me.

So you see being Superman

as your job.

Well, everybody needs a break
from their job.

To gain some perspective
and avoid burnout.

When was the last time
you had a vacation?

'I mean, really, just-just
got away from Metropolis?'

I spent some time
in London last year.

Well, that sounds wonderful.

How long were you there?

About two minutes.

I was diverting
a wayward nuclear missile.

How relaxing.

No, Mr. Stern, I haven't
seen Perry this morning.

Well, maybe he had car trouble.

Yes, I realize
Multiworld Communications

needs an answer in 48 hours.

You know, you might want to
reconsider your position on..

Oh, of course.

Well, I'll tell him to call you
as soon as I see him.

Again, where have you been?

I had a...dentist appointment.

You got your teeth cleaned
at a time like this?

Lois, I wouldn't be
too concerned about the paper.

When Stern sells, we're all
going to be out of a job anyway.

Any word from the police
on Perry?

Nothing.

Don't worry.
He'll show up.

"He'll show up?"

This is Perry
we're talking about

not some lost poodle.

I know, Lois, but there's
no need to get upset

about things that
you can't control.

In fact, I was talking to
Superman this morning.

He's said that he's thinking
about taking a vacation.

A vacation? Now?

Dr. Friskin's supposed
to be helping him

not encouraging him
to take a cruise.

Well, I think
it's a pretty good idea.

Well, it's almost time
for lunch.

Want to try that new
Italian place around the corner?

How can you be
thinking about lunch?

You're right.
It's too early.

Maybe I'll just grab
a Danish and a cappuccino.

Here you go.

I got to go out for a while.

Jimmy, hold down the fort.

Isn't that what they said
to Jim Bowie at the "Alamo?"

Doctor, I need Superman
back to his old self right away

and you've got him
taking a vacation.

Oh, well, these things
don't happen overnight.

'It could take years'

'to get him back
on the road to recovery.'

Years?

If ever.

See, he's in the process

of making some very critical
life decisions at this juncture.

Well, what's to decide?

He's Superman.

Well, he may be
Superman to you

but, first and foremost,
he's a person

a very complex person.

How would you describe
your relationship with him?

Well, it's complicated.

I, uh, Superman is wonderful
and..

Well, we just
haven't been able to..

Oh, and then
there's Clark, and..

You know, Superman's attitude

seems to be rubbing off
on him, too.

Oh and then there's Dan.

He's very..
Well, you know.

So two of the men in your life

are suffering from
the same malaise.

Well...yes.

'Wait a minute.'

Well, you don't think
that's because of me, do you?

What do you think?

Well, no offense

but I-I haven't
had the greatest luck

with psychiatrists.

Oh? You've spent
some time in therapy?

Oh, no.

Uh, just that the last

psychiatrist that I saw..

Well, he had
an exact double of me made

and-and tried to kill me.

And how did that make you feel?

Um...Perry went to an executive
retreat. You know?

One of those places where they

talk about
the future of the world

play a little golf.

When's he coming back?

Um, I'm not exactly sure
but...soon.

I am sitting
on a major story.

I just got word that a certain
aide to the mayor

has been
the unwilling recipient

of her Honor's sexual advances.

What?

Do you have a witness?

I got an eyewitness

but she's not due back in town
till tomorrow.

Wally, gosh.. I don't know.

You don't know?

Who cares if you don't know?

I need Perry's approval
to go with this now.

Well, I'll call him
and run it by him.

You do that.

I'm gonna go finish the story.

Alright.

(Zina)
'Psychic counselors.'

Uh, yeah, hello.
Is this Zina?

(Zina)
'Yes. Of course.'

You gotta help me.

[indistinct chatter]

Lois, I'm sorry about
my attitude earlier.

- It's just that--
- Bobby Bigmouth called.

He-he ID'd that picture.
Gene Newtrich.

He's a soil engineer.

A soil engineer
and part-time kidnapper.

We even got
a working address.

Well, what're we waiting for?
Let's jump on this now.

Well, I guess that Danish
and cappuccino did the trick.

[intense music]

There it is.

There must be a zillion
combinations to that thing.

Let me give it a try.
You keep watching the hallway.

[beep]

How'd you do that?

I...I-I don't know.

What exactly
are we looking for?

I have no idea

but hopefully we'll find it.

[whirring]

Lois, what about
Saturday night?

Let's just stick to the problem
at hand, okay?

Yeah, fine.

Still, I don't understand

why a soil engineer
would be involved

with a plot to kidnap Perry.

Well, that's
the $64,000 question.

Newtrich has got to be tied to
some larger organization.

Uhh.

You're probably right, Lois.

But, then again,
why should we even care?

Oh, no.
Is Mr. Hyde back again?

We're wasting our time here.

You know, if we hurry
we can still make a 9:00

movie at the multiplex.

Look at this.

These are the substructure
plans for Costmart.

- That's nice.
- Newtrich worked for Costmart.

Costmart is run
by Bill Church Jr.

Which means that Newtrich
might work for Intergang.

What should we do?

Get caught in the act, I guess.

Shh!

[instrumental music]

Come on, we got to
get out of here.

Great. We can still make it
to that movie.

Easy, Jimmy.

Olsen!

I'm meeting
that eyewitness tonight.

Okay. Um..

[telephone rings]

Hold on a sec.

Mr. White's office.

Yes, uh, Mr. Stern.

Yeah, uh,
Perry's not in right now.

Where is he?

He's getting his hair cut,
I think.

Thought you said
he was at a retreat.

Uh, I talked to him
this morning, Wally

and he was getting his haircut
at the retreat.

They've got this great
barber there and..

Yes, Mr. Stern. I-I'll have him
call you as soon as he gets in.

Okay. Bye

Look, I need an answer now.

I've already lost one day.

Perry says that until you've
talked to the witness

and we've got her checked out,
the story's on hold.

Damn.

At least that's what
he would've said.

I hope.

I love being Superman.

Fighting crime, helping people.

It's what I live for.

'Or it's what
I used to live for.'

Now I don't know.

It's just all so frustrating.

Th-th-that's good.
That's good.

Can you stay with that emotion?

I'm frustrated because

Lois is going out
with this other guy

'and there's nothing
that I can do to stop it.'

I'm frustrated because
every single time

I try and talk to her

'I have to dash off
and save someone.'

I'm frustrated because I'm
the strongest man in the world

and everything feels like it's
spiraling out of my control

and that just makes me mad.

[grunts]

Really mad.

[gasp]

[gasps]

You see, Bob

he's in touch
with his feelings.

Uh, sorry about the wall.
I just--

No, no, no. It's alright.

I'd have gone with
a primal scream, though.

(Superman)
'What is that?'

I have no idea.

[dramatic music]

(Superman)
'It's got all the properties
of Kryptonite'

but it's red.

Did you plant this here?

I've no idea
how it got there, really.

I-I don't even understand
what this is all about.

Oh, really.

On second thought

maybe it doesn't even matter.

That rock seems to have
a calming influence on you.

Would you like to talk about
what just...happened?

Yes.
Sorry about the window.

This isn't exactly
easy to explain

but when
the planet Krypton exploded

fragments from that planet
crashed into Earth

and we call that Kryptonite.

Hell, green Kryptonite
can kill me

but I've never seen
this red variety before.

So, if green Kryptonite
affects you physically

then it's possible
red kryptonite

has been affecting
you mentally.

If I had to guess

I would say that it has
unleashed deep feelings

that you've been harboring.

And now that
I am aware of them

it's up to me to figure out
how to deal with them.

Exactly.

[dramatic music]

Lunchtime.

Caviar, smoked Salmon
and a petite filet.

[chuckling]

A man could get used to this.

Mr. Church has his own chef.

Bon appetit.

'Hey!'

[thump]

[intense music]

(male #4)
'Where's Artie?'

(male #5)
'He's giving Mr. White
his dinner.'

[indistinct chatter]

(male #6)
'Hey, Clark.'

How was the movie?

Oh. I never made it.

I just ended up walking
aimlessly around the city.

Well, if you're
back in the land of the living

you could help me out
by taking a look at these.

(Clark)
This might be something.

There are two full basements
in these plans.

They need a lot of room
for excess merchandise?

The-the loading docks line up
to this first-level basement

but the second-level
basement is only accessed

by one small passenger elevator.

Which means they don't use
the sub-basement for storage.

What do you think's
down there?

[telephone rings]

- Lois Lane.
- 'Lois.'

Perry? It's Perry.

- Are you alright?
- I'm fine. I'm a prisoner.

Bill Church Jr. has me.

He's head of Intergang.

I knew it. I knew it.

Bill Church is
the head of Intergang.

He's holding Perry prisoner.

That's great.
Ask him where he is.

Oh. Perry, where are you?

Perry?

[intense music]

We got disconnected.

You want to take a look
at this sub-basement?

It's our only shot.

Let's go.

Did you bring your
"mission impossible" toolbox?

I'm traveling a little
bit light today.

Mm.

[dramatic music]

[lock beeps]

I'm good.

Yes, you are.

Okay. You go left.

I'll go right.

Be careful.

[intense music]

[automated message]
'All files deleted.'

There.

The computers are
wiped clean as a newborn.

Now if we have
any unpleasant visits

from the authorities

there will be nothing for them
to find about Intergang

and by this time tomorrow

Multiworld Communications
will own the "Daily Planet."

How far is that landfill site?

About a half hour out of town.

Ready for a little
investigative...digging?

[intense music]

Lois! Run, honey! Run!

Stay where you are!

Miss Lane, your timing
couldn't have been worse.

Is there room for two
in that landfill?

I think so.

I think we'll skip the tour
of the landfill...Church.

Ah, Superman.

How nice to see you.

This little situation is really
no concern of yours.

[intense music]

Fight it, Superman.

'Don't give in.'

"Don't give in?"
What's going on?

Alright now, Superman

time to be on your way.

Maybe you're right.

Then again,
maybe it's not.

[instrumental music]

Huh! Ugh!

[grunts]

- Ha!
- Unh!

Nobody get excited and Miss Lane
may live to see another sunset.

'Perry, put the gun down.'

[dramatic music]

'Don't move, Superman.'

This gun has a very delicate
trigger mechanism.

I wouldn't want it to go off..

Oh, accidentally.

'You just stay right there.'

How about over here?

[groaning]

Lois, why don't you
go call the police

while I keep Bill here
and his friends company?

It's great to be back.

[instrumental music]

[Perry laughing]

(Perry)
'Lois, Clark, come in here.'

Well, I was just telling Jimmy

how I stopped
one of Church's henchmen

with a karate chop.

You know,
Elvis is into karate.

It was impressive.

Almost as impressive
as your story, chief.

(Perry)
'Well, you know..'

'...I haven't had a byline
in 17 years.'

It's nice to know
I've still got the juice.

Nice to know Mr. Stern's
not selling the paper.

Oh, I think
we're safe for a while.

Jimmy, I heard you were running
the show while I was gone.

Well, not exactly.

You see, um--

Now, now, now, son,
you did a good job.

Now, Wally's eyewitness turned
out to be a world-class liar.

If we'd gone with that story

the Mayor would've
sued our butts off.

Well, I just did what
you always taught me, chief.

Went with my gut.

Uh-huh.
I only have one question.

What's this, uh, "Call Zina?"

Isn't that-that number you call

for personal psychic guidance?

I can explain that.

[laughing]

I think we'd better go now.

I can.

Really.

Here you go, Lois.

Thanks.

Bad news?

Oh, Dan called.

He won't be back in town
till Monday.

Which means that
you're free tonight

so you could go out with me.

These two situations
are mutually exclusive.

Dan's availability,
or lack thereof

has nothing to do
with our relationship

and your continual
disappearing act.

Look, Lois, I'm not
going to try to stop you

from going out with Dan.

That's your choice.

But I've given this
a lot of thought

and I realize that
instead of dancing around

my feelings for you

that I have to meet them head-on

and verbalize my emotions.

And your going out with Dan

it does upset me.

[dramatic music]

I don't know what to say.

Say you'll go out
with me tonight

and I promise you
I will not disappear.

Alright.

You can pick me up at 7:00.

Okay.

But you got to promise
you won't disappear.

And you'll be there at 7:00?

And 7:01.

[music continues]

And 7:02.

And 7:03.

And 7:04.

And 7:05.

[music continues]
