Clark stills thinks Lois is there and talks to 'her'. At the Metropolis Munitions Works personnel building, an elderly man who is the new watchman leaves the manager's office as Lois goes in. Lois decides to eavesdrop and hears that explosives triggered to the watchman's switch have been planted. She is spotted and chased through the area. The new watchman arrives on the scene while they are putting dynamite in the warhead of the torpedo.
Scrap metal is released, crashing onto the watchman.
He is told to send out the torpedo to the testing ground immediately. The people running the test believe that there are no explosive charges inside as this is just a test. We see the scrap metal move. The torpedo is loaded. Superman appears from out of the pile of metal.
