Well, greetings, folks, welcome back to Superman Saturdays here on

(01:26):
today we kick off a brand news storyline from the
Superman radio program. This one again has Clark Kent going
on a trip away from the city, away from the
Daily Planet. They haven't called it Metropolis yet, they haven't

(01:48):
officially named it Metropolis yet, but that's pretty much what
they're talking about. But yes, Clark is going on a
trip up north to the Arctic. So let's go ahead
and get into part one of our storyline today. The
title of this storyline, by the way, as you know,

(02:10):
is Alonzo Craig Arctic Explorer. So let's go ahead and
get into part one. This is Alonzo Craig Arctic Explorer,
Part one, which aired May twenty seventh of nineteen forty.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Enjoy presenting the transcription feature Superman.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Up in the sky. Wop, it's a bird, it's a plan.
It's Superman Now.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Superman, mighty visitor from another world who came to work
when the planet Krypton was destroyed.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
By quakes and explosions.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Superman who can twist steal in his bare hands, leap
tall buildings of a single bound racist bullet to its target,
walks about among human beings as champion of the week
and the oppressed. His die is as Clark Kent news reporter.
If our story opens today, we find Kent in the
private office of editor Perry White. Listen, Kent, how would

(03:17):
you like to take up the search for Captain Alonzo
krag Crag, the Arctic Explorer. He's been missing for three years.
Look here, I said, Alan, and let me give you
the whole story. Alonzo Craig was one of the most
famous octect explorers in the world.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
I guess everybody knows that three years.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Ago he headed the expedition up into the islands north
of Elsmere Land. You know anything about that country, Kent, No,
not a thing, sheef. It's very little explored. It's a
maze of islands and nice fields and cliffs. Wildest rumors
you ever heard? What kind of rumors? Most people don't
believe them. Alonzo Cragg made up his mind. He proved
them one way or the other. But what kind of rumors? Well,

(03:53):
rumors at the islands north of Bellesmere Land are inhabited
by Indians or maybe Eskimo.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Nobody seems to be exactly sure.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
But they're amazingly intelligent as far as people can judge, big,
tall and strong. And they're white. What Oh, that's what
the story is a race of giant white men. But
that is an all kin by your hat on, good
and tight and catch this. They're ruled by a single king,
some kind of a witch doctor or medicine man, and

(04:22):
that witch doctor never dies. Oh, come off, mister white,
I'll tell you, Paul up for stuff like that just
is impossible. No, it is impossible. But the Alonzo Craig
wasn't a fool. Can don't tell me he believed it.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
You went to.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
Investigate travel thousands of miles over thisate country just.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Three years ago this week, and what happened to him?
Nobody knows.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
That's why we sent Ray Martin, one of our reporters
up thereafter him, and old Professor Peter Peters. Here's him, man, Oh,
say I know him well? Or did Martin report anything?

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Not a word?

Speaker 4 (04:52):
In the last month, both Ray Martin and Professor Peters
seem to have vanished in thin air, just like Alonzo
Kraig did.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
You don't mean it.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Why you are going after them, and you're going to
look for Peters and Martin, and if humanly possible, you're
going to find out what happened to Alonzo.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Cry set your own wife, ooh ooh ooh.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Yes, yes, certainly I know her. Send her upstairs, Tell
the boy to bring her in when she gets here.
Say that's mighty queer, almost unganny, you'd never guess them
a million years.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Who's coming up? All right? Who is it? Miss Paula? Cried?

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Alonso crags twin sisters, sister, What does she want? That's
what I'd like to know myself. She certainly can't have
heard about Peters and Martin disappearing while we're waiting. What
about them? What makes you think they're missing? And they
were supposed to keep in touch by shortwave radio with
the base of port Ormont.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
They did for a while four weeks ago the radio
went dead. Oh well, that might not prove anythings to find.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
On the other hand, it might prove a good to you,
because yesterday I received an important message. Part with that
arman at port Ormann telegraphed the dam. It's common gospel
among the Indians, the trading post that Martin and Peters
have been lost lost.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Howard Indians know that? Oh ask me Ken.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Apparently they do know something, and they won't tell I mean, oh, hello, hello,
then Miss Gregg.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
I hope I'm not bothering you. They said to come
right in. Certainly by all means.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
Oh may I present, mister Ken, Mister Clark Kent, Miss
Paula Craig.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
How do you do? How do you do? It's a
funny thing you picked up today to coming. Miss Gregg.
Kent's on his way to port Ormond and the law.
Mister White. Something's happened, and I don't know what to
make of it.

Speaker 6 (06:34):
Why what is it you remember about the rings I
think I told you about.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Well you might tell Ken.

Speaker 6 (06:40):
Mister Kent, Alonso and I were twins when we were
graduated from school. My father gave us both identical rings,
carrying his initial and our mother's initial in a sort
of seal on the back.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
The point is, Kent, that Captain Craig always war his,
and Miss Craig always wore hers, That is, she did
until Ray Martin went north.

Speaker 6 (06:59):
Exactly cleans to mine. When you sent a searching expedition
north to find my brother, I gave mister Martin my
ring to take with him. You see, I thought I
thought it might help him identify herlane's ar. I understand,
Miss Craig, But you said something peculiar happening, Yes, very peculiar.

(07:20):
This morning I received a small package in the mail,
and when I opened it, well, look, why that's one
of the rings I, Miss Craig, who sent you that,
mister Ken. It came down from Port Ormond by air.
My brother's old navigator, Captain Waters wrote that he bought

(07:43):
it from an Indian. It's my brother's ring.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Why that's amazing, great heavens. But all the time, look,
I never noticed that. Can't your train leaves in twenty minutes?
My train? Oh? Yes, it slipped my mind on miss
greg Man.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
Now I am going to be terribly rude now, but
I'll link him in some other time.

Speaker 6 (08:01):
Mister Whiteye, I don't understand.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
When I was here, Ken has only twenty minutes to
Catcher's rain. The the Captain Waller's letter in the ring here,
and Ken'll take the ring north with him. I'll call
you once I get my bearings.

Speaker 6 (08:12):
Christmaster white Eye, I hope I haven't up six.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
All fine, fine, you're a real soldier, miss Drag, a
real soldier, and don't worry. I'll call you in a
day or don't.

Speaker 7 (08:20):
All right, goodbye, mister Ken, and good luck. Good Vimus
Cragg and we'll find your brother for you than Kevin Cant.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
We've better work fast, I'll say so. So why I
can't possibly catch you train in twenty minutes? Forget it?
I have to get her out. I can't look here,
look look at this ring? What about it? She hasn't
heard about Martin and Peters being lost. She took it
for granted that this was her brother's ring that somehow
it had come back from Alonzo Craig.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
What's the letter saying? I'll forget the letter. Waller's thought
the same thing, and they're both wrong.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
It's too white. What do you mean, Kent? This isn't
Alonzo Cragg's ring. What They're supposed to be identical, but
they're not. I can tell by this scratch on the
inside of the band.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Here.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
See I put that stretch there myself before Ray Martin
took the ring, right, Scott, you're not saying and I am.
This is the ring Paula Craig gave to Ray Martin. Now,
then what's happened to Martin and Peters? And how wonder
heaven did this ring get back to port Ormond? And
then the Captain Waller's hands telagram here give it here, Kent.

(09:20):
This is when Captain Waller side Wallers up at Port Almond. Yes,
he was the one took Alonzo Craig gells by land.
I told him you were coming.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
What's he saying? Urged your man to use all speed?
Time may be important?

Speaker 4 (09:31):
May know more when he gets here Wallers fence, Kent,
what's going on up there? Still right, I don't know,
but I'm going to find out. Say, maybe I can
guess that's train after all. Speeding through the upper air

(09:51):
red Cape, Streaming in the wind, the Man of Steel's
soars over the Great Lakes, northward to Hudson Bay and
Northwood again to the tiny settlement.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Of Port Ormond.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
Present play on the deck of an icebreaker, bumpeting her
way through the fog and ice.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Park Kent reporter talks with the ship's master, Captain Waters.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
Any idea where we are, Captain Walls, mighty heavy fog
out there, hitting up there, michigin anytime now, we'll be
hitting right in the ellsmell. And when we get there,
we take the dog's lid. O honey, call all right,
say don't you ever use your fog horns? Not up
here and slip down again to tell if we're post

(10:33):
to Iceberg. Sometimes the sound to bunch hop Iceberg's around here.
Oh sure, uh mighty lucky if we don't run right
into worry.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
A. Didn't you know echo that time?

Speaker 4 (10:47):
Okay, captain down at dinner you started to tell me
about Alonzo.

Speaker 7 (10:51):
Cry, what's all the mystery about?

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Nobody knows?

Speaker 4 (10:54):
Mitch agin all of a sudden, he just up from
the lid out with only an engine sled driver.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Why would he do a thing like that.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
Well, some of the men in his expedition said, he
heard about the luck of the Nord, so he set
out to find it. The luck of the North. Yeah,
what's that? That's a tradure, Michigin. Oh, that's what they say.
It is millions and millions dollars gold and pressure stones.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Then knows what not? What up here? Now?

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Don't ask me if it's true. Don't ask me how
it got here. If it is true, all I know
is what.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
They tell me. But where is it? Who owns it? Well,
they say the Indians owned it.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
Thumb shade was always here, and some say it come
from pirates and said a couple hundred years ago.

Speaker 7 (11:37):
Do you believe it yourself?

Speaker 4 (11:38):
Eh, mister kinn, I declare, I don't know. I have
seen some mighty queer things up here in the Nord. Hey,
ain't it getting some colder all of a sudden? Oh,
I'd say so, going through me like a knife a
fox sticker too. Say look here, captain, what about these
Indians you were talking about?

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah, nobody know as much about them neither. It's kin.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
They keep to themselves and they're old witch doctor maxim
up if you ask me Arondo. Craig went after the
luck to the north, and the Engines went after Craig.
All right, but what about Ray Martin and Professor Peters.
Oh and by the way, you never did tell me
how how you happen to find that ring? Now listen, hey,

(12:25):
here that echo. That means there's a burg right close by. Hey,
ice work, ice work ahead, a stair whl speed a stair, Hey,
look off the starboard beam coming through the fog, ice
spurts closing in Irish Captain Wallers.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
What do we do? Houck, Look, I see it. I
ain't flying three nothing we can do? Hellokout, say where
you are? Now? Can I gotta work past you? Hold up?
What's your hell? No? High? There he's gone.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
They'll ever see me in the park right, And those
birds are all around us. I think it's time Superman
went to work up, up, out and away.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Look at those works.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
They're bigger than mountains, thousands of tons of solid ice.
They're all around the ship. I can't do something fast.
She hasn't got a chance down down right into the
water down to shove this one out of the way.
Force the passage for the boat. Good thing they can't
see me in the pod now, no, no good?

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Not quicken up. The ice is pose again. It's crushing
the book.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
I'm crushing danger in the Arctic ice fields. And Superman
force the pass of the tiny vessel. Has he met
his match in the towering ice peaks of the Northern seas?
June in next time and follow the story up in
the sky.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Who it's a good, it's a pain, It's Superman.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
Superman is a copyrighted picture appearing in Action Comics Magazine.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
All right, welcome back. I just want to make a
few comments here. Well, we have a nice mystery set
up here again with this mysterious Indian tribe and this
Alonzo Craig guy who seems to have gone missing, and
now Martin and Peters also seemed to be in trouble

(14:39):
and all this concern over these men, and then Superman
flies up there. I love that part on the boat
where Clark was like this cold is really getting to
me or something like that. And it's hard for me
to tell whether he was being legit or whether he

(15:00):
was just playing the sort of role as Clark Kent
just sort of faking being cold, even though as Superman
the cold doesn't FaZe him. I'm not sure. I wasn't
sure how to take that, but like this Walters guy,
this is an interesting character here in the storyline. And

(15:21):
we also have a cliffhanger here at the end where
Superman has to attempt to save the barge from the
ice and it looks like he's failing at us so far.
So that is our cliffhanger.

Speaker 5 (15:35):
All right, everybody, we are going to take a quick
break and then we'll be right back with part two
of Alonzo Craig Arctic Explorer. All right, folks, welcome back.
Let's go ahead and get into part two of Alonzo
Craig Arctic Explorer. This one aired May twenty ninth of

(16:00):
nineteen forty.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
Enjoy presenting the transcription feature Superman.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Up in the sky, Whoop hits the bird, It's a pain.
It's Superman.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
Now, Superman, Champion of the Week and the oppressed Balliant
Fighter for truth and justice. Faster than an airplane, stronger
than a locomotive, came from the planet Krypton to walk
the Earth disguised as Miles Clark Kent, news reporter for
the Daily Planet. Kent had arrived in the Arctic ice
field searching for a special expedition sent out by his newspaper,

(16:42):
which was headed by Professor Peters and Ray Martin. Peters
and Martin had vanished into the wilds of Ellesmere Land
in an effort to find what had become of the
famous explorer Captain Alonzo Cragg, missing for over three years.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
But still believed the lion.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
When we last saw him, Kent had become Superman and
had plunged into the sea to rescue the ship from
surrounding iceberg, barely in time. With superhuman strength, he thrust
aside the towering tons of ice force to pass for
the ship to the.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Coast of Ellesmere Land. The story continues today.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
Some time has passed, Kent's expedition has established a base camp.
He and Captain Walters have taken a dog team out
into the icy waste, still heading north in an effort
to pick up the trail of Peters and Martin. Good evening,
the Arctic night has fallen, Kenned Walters are discussing whether
to remain where they are or strike back toward their face,

(17:36):
Walter is gradually giving way to apprehension. Listen, now, what's
the matter. What are we stopping for? Captain mister Kent.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
I can't be sure, but I feel as if something
was watching me, were in close, I know, all the time,
and watching out there in the dog.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Don't you feel that? Well? Since you mentioned it, I do.

Speaker 7 (18:07):
You was asking me if I was afraid.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
I am afraid, mister Kinn.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
I'm afraid of what may happen.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
That's Chico, the lead dog, and he's afraid too.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
Look at him. He's standing right up in his harness.
They hear things that we don't hear, mister Kinn. Who's
to say that that they.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Don't see things we don't see?

Speaker 7 (18:27):
Stop at Wallace. Your nerve's gone.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
I'll love me seeing things and hearing things.

Speaker 7 (18:32):
Next, now look here back on the boat.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Before we made sure, you started to tell me why
you sent that telegraph message to editor White about having
to hurry?

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Where about it? What did you mean? Well? I found
that ring, hadn't I the one you said?

Speaker 4 (18:46):
Alonzo Craig's sister give Martin as I meant to ask
you about that? Why did you get it an engine
brought it down to port Ormond, but he'd never say
where he got it.

Speaker 7 (18:55):
Do you think he stole it?

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Maybe so? But how Martin hid it when he left
port Ormond? Pray knows me a land I know that.

Speaker 7 (19:01):
Oh look, water stopped beating around the bush.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
Tell me what you really do think, great Scott Man,
this isn't time to keep things back.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
All right, I will get you.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
I think Alonzo Craig found out where that engine treasure
was the luck of the North.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
And I think that old witch doctor got him.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
What the head of the tribe, the one who never dies.
That's when they say, all right, what about Peters and Martin?

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Who got them? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
I don't know, but Peterson Martin, they never should have
come up here. The drive hates white men. They've proved
God before. I understand they're white themselves. Oh maybe nobody
knows for sure, nobody's ever been up here to see.
She called, what's the matter with him? Walter's look? He
seems to see something.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Ken he does see something up in the sky. What
can look good?

Speaker 7 (19:49):
Heavens Walters?

Speaker 1 (19:51):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (19:51):
It's a man, the figure of a man up in
the clouds.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
The bigger of a man in pale green fire. Hen hand.

Speaker 7 (19:58):
Look, let's get and Clara.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
It's tremendous, Waters. It's an Indian.

Speaker 7 (20:05):
It's the figure of an Indian.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
He's got his hand raised. It's a warning, candid means
to go back. What is it? Look?

Speaker 7 (20:11):
Wallers, you stay right.

Speaker 4 (20:13):
Here, don't move hit hit where you're going? Wait, just
stay by the said, keep the dogs quiet.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
It's getting rare. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
I don't know what's going on here, but I'm certainly
going to find out. There's something in those clouds. All right,
Up we go, up up. I can't blame Waters for
feeling shaky. I felt the same way myself. Unseen eyes
following us, watching us all the time. Now, then hit
those clouds, whatever you are here, we come. Oh it's quere,

(20:49):
not a thing, not a sign of Indians or fire
or anything else, just clouds and mists. And I don't
understand it. There isn't anything here yet. I did see
that figure, whatever it was. Wallers was right, it was
pointing us away. Well, no, you was staying up here.

Speaker 7 (21:10):
Might as well get back down and see what happens next.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Down we go again?

Speaker 4 (21:14):
Now now.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Where where right? Again? Coming Wallers, I'm right here.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
Wave in right after that little humer to see if
I could make something out of that thing.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
In the sky. You ain't dead no more? Did you
see ending?

Speaker 4 (21:32):
No? Not a thing?

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Well, we see it. You can't get around there? Well,
I'm not trying to the question now is what do
we do? I shay, we go back right now. Oh
it's too dark.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
We miss our own trail. I'm shave try it anyway.
You don't want to spend the night here?

Speaker 1 (21:46):
What's the matter? What you're looking at now? I'm not sure.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
Up there ahead through the opening in those cliffs, and
you see anything? You got to see much looks like
a valley opening up beyond the cliff. Look, Walters, look
through that opening. Don't you see something up there? Don't
you which way?

Speaker 1 (22:06):
No? I don't see how then look again, keep looking?
Wait a minute, Yes I do, sir, I do see something. Kid.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
It's a light, that's it. Waters, There's a flickering light
up in that valley. It's almost like a signal light.
Come on, come on, what do you mean where you're going?

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Up there? Of course?

Speaker 7 (22:23):
Man, don't you understand it? Maybe Peter's and Martin?

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Wait, what about that figure, that engine in the sky,
whatever it.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
Was, he said, go back, go back, justice Plainer's day.
Never mind, we're going on Waters. We've got to want
get the dogs going. Hurry up, and I'm telling you
we better not, Walters. If it is Peter's and Martin
and they're hurt or dying of starvation. Wou'd you want
to leave them here to die?

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Would you? No, we couldn't do that. Engines are no engines.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
There's got I know you wouldn't writ We'll head it
right that opening the cliff. Look, the light's still there,
you know, far away in the darkness of the Arctic

(23:10):
night of paint and flickering signal beacons to Clark Ken
and Captain Walters onto the shadow of the cliffs on
across the crackling ice fields. The patting dog team draws
ever closer. Meanwhile, behind them and on every hand, dark forms,
closing along the trail and slipping silently from rock to rock,
hiding behind shadowy blocks of snow and us.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Here his waters went through the ending of the cliff.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
There's light, Gisu right, sure enough, say there's a hot dad,
you just come my Ey's house.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
I can just make it out. All right, this is
close enough.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
Stop the team pull up own God, I think this
is close enough. I'll have to pay down the dog.
So we'll walk the rest of the way. Well, that
light's still there, make it fast waters all right, I reckon,
this will hold him?

Speaker 1 (24:03):
All right?

Speaker 7 (24:04):
Come on, it's peters In Martin and maybe in bad shape.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Can get The light's gone out, so it was up
there on top of the hut. It's been some kind
of a lamb here we are. Did you think to
bring a life that's no pleasure? Like? There's the door
and I'll go first.

Speaker 7 (24:25):
You call him behind me?

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, well now you don't know what's in there. Maybe

Uf Walterers, you were right and so was I. What

Speaker 4 (27:24):
Hear me?

Speaker 1 (27:24):
What a puddled in the tiny Yes, Kami's cabin.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
Kennon Walters stare unbelievingly at what Cat holds in his hands,
the clue that sets them definitely on the trail of
Professor Peters and Ray Martin? What is it and what
will happen when they set out tomorrow morning to follow
it down? Meanwhile, what of Peters and Martin themselves? Are
they still alive? And if they are, can Cannon Walters
reach them in time? Tune in next time and follow
the story of Superman.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Up in the sky. Whoop, it's a bird, it's a plain,
It's Superman.

Speaker 4 (27:58):
Superman is a copyrighted feature of Hearing An Action Comics magazine.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
All Right, just got a few comments here and then
we will wrap up. So a lot of excitement in
this episode, a lot of action, and at the very
beginning we have the resolution of the cliffhanger from the
last episode. And they tend to do this a lot,

(28:29):
and I have to admit I'm not really a big
fan of it. But in the last episode, you remember
Superman was trying to save the ship or the boat
from the icebergs, and they picked up at the beginning
of this episode where that had already been resolved, and
now they're picking up some time later. And I kind

(28:52):
of hate it when they do that because it really
makes it seem like the whole purpose of a rescue situation,
like that is just to be a cliffhanger. It's just
to be a cliffhanger, and that's all. And it would
be nice if they picked up where Superman was still

(29:15):
actually there in that scene, resolving the situation. But I mean,
that's just a minor critique, and I've heard some other
podcasters make the same critique, and so nothing major or anything.
But we also have this sort of contrasting character between
Clark Kent, who is, let's go get them, and Walters,

(29:39):
who is, I'm scared. I don't know about this, and
that does sort of bring suspense to the story for
the listener, But at the same time, I felt like
Clark was sort of giving Walters a little bit of
a hard time, especially seeing that is Superman and nothing

(30:02):
literally on these storylines can hurt him, whereas Walter is
just a normal human being where he can be hurt
or killed, and so of course it's easy for Clark
to be like, I'm not afraid of anything, Let's go
get them. But at any rate, we also have there

(30:24):
at the end where Clark finds something and Walter's just like,
what is it?

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Can what is it?

Speaker 5 (30:31):
Can't tell me?

Speaker 1 (30:32):
What is it? What is it?

Speaker 2 (30:33):
I was like, sir, I'm gonna need you to calm down,
but that was obviously just for the purpose of hyping
up the suspense for the cliffhanger of this episode. A
little over the top, but I.

Speaker 5 (30:48):
See why they did it, all right, everybody, that is
going to be a rap for today, Thank you so
much for listening, and I will catch you next time.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
