Le Dr. Faraday transmet des informations à l'oeil de Loïs qui devient en transe mais il n'a pas le temps de lui dire que c'est grâce à un objet ressemblant à un stylo-bille car il meurt dans l'appartement de Loïs.
Pendant ce temps, l'avocate Mayson invite Clark pour passer quelques jours dans un chalet à la campagne mais il ne peut y répondre, il doit aller sauver Loïs car des hommes veulent le stylo-bille et ils en profitent pour aveugler Superman.
Superman avoue à Loïs qu'il est aveugle alors elle s'occupe de lui dans son appartement et elle lui trouve le meilleur médecin mais lors de la visite, ce sont les deux mêmes hommes de l'appartement qui se retrouvent avec Superman.
Un des hommes aveugle Superman encore plus longtemps et l'autre homme fouille l'appartement mais Loïs arrive et ils sont obligés de partir. Les parents de Clark arrivent au même moment.
Les deux hommes kidnappent Loïs et elle est obligée de leur révéler où se trouve l'objet mais elle demande l'antidote pour que Superman retrouve la vue. Superman comprend à ce moment ce que Mayson a voulu dire sur les deux hommes. En arrivant au Daily Planet, Loïs donne l'antidote à Superman qui revoit et il détruit l'objet.

_TEASER_
FADE IN:
1 EXT. STREET - NIGHT #1 1
DR. NEAL FARADAY runs down the deserted street, panicked (X)
and panting, and after a moment, we see why: He's being
chased by MUNCH, a tall, thin man whose long legs are
effortlessly closing the distance between himself and his
prey. Both men are wearing white lab coats, which makes the
chase seem a bit out of the ordinary. We may or may not
notice at this point that Faraday is clutching something
small in his hand.
Suddenly the route ahead of Dr. Faraday is blocked: Another
man in a lab coat steps into view at the corner ahead. This
is DR. HARRY LEIT, evil ophthalmologist. on seeing Leit.
Faraday comes to a screeching halt. Munch grins, slows to a
walk, pacing toward the trapped Faraday. Faraday looks from
one man to the other, then suddenly bolts up the stoop in
front of an apartment building, wrenches open the door and
runs inside. Leit's face contorts in fury.
LEIT
After him, you idiot!
Munch bolts toward the building entrance.
2 INT. APARTMENT BUILDING - UPSTAIRS HALLWAY - NIGHT 2
Dr. Faraday crests the top of a landing and knocks on the
first door he comes to. Behind him, downstairs, we can hear
Munch. Faraday is not waiting for an answer; he keeps
moving, knocking frantically on every door he comes to. He
rounds a corner just as someone is opening a door: It's
LOIS, coming out with her garbage, unaware that anything
untoward is going on in her hallway. Faraday shoves her
back into:
3 INT. LOIS'S APARTMENT - NIGHT 3
Faraday SLAMS and locks the door. We can hear Munch running
up the stairs. The only illumination in the apartment is
from a desk lamp where Lois has obviously been working late.
LOIS
What do you think you're doing --?

DR. FARADAY
I'm sorry, miss --
He raises the object he's been clutching in his hand. It
is, or appears to be, a fountain pen. He aims it at Lois's
face and presses a button. A concentrated BEAM of blinding
white light hits Lois's eyes, contracting her pupils to
pinpoints and stopping her dead in her tracks.
Munch has arrived. He's pounding on the door, kicking it.
DR. FARADAY (CONT'D)
-- but I don't have time to
explain.
Lois is in some kind of strange trance: Her eyes are moving
rapidly from side to side, as though she's in an REM state,
but her eyes are open. Her sight seems focused inward. She
seems entirely unaware of what's going on in the room.
Meanwhile, Dr. Faraday has spotted a pencil cup on Lois's
desk. He adds his "pen" to those already in the cup, then
he moves toward a window that opens onto the fire escape.
The apartment door flies open as Munch kicks it one last
time. Munch leaps for Dr. Faraday, catching his foot just
before Faraday makes it through the window and pulling him
back inside
4 INT. APARTMENT BUILDING - WAY - NIGHT 4
As we hear SOUNDS of a STRUGGLE from within Lois's
apartment, all the lights in the building suddenly go out,
leaving very dim illumination. After a moment, Harry Leit
appears at the top of the landing. What little light there
is glints off his coke battle glasses. He makes his way
toward Lois's apartment. Doors are opening, people are
peering out into the dark hallway.
VOICES (O.S.)
- Hey, who turned off the lights?
- What's that noise? What's going
on?
- Somebody get a flashlight.
- Where's the fusebox?
Leit is moving at a stately pace. Before he reaches Lois's
door, the sounds of struggle stop. He keeps going,
disappears into:
5 INT. LOIS'S APARTMENT - NIGHT 5
Leit closes what's left of the door. It's dark in here. He
can see almost nothing.

He feels around, finds a table, slides it in front of the
door.
LEIT
Munch? Munch?
MUNCH
Over here, doctor.
Leit moves toward the sound of Munch's voice.
LEIT
Do you have the device?
Leit bumps into Lois, stops, peers at her face. Lois is
still in her strange REM trance, still seems to be computing
something only she can see.
LEIT (CONT'D)
Munch?
MUNCH
It's not on him, doctor. I don't
know what he did with it.
Leit waves a hand in front of Lois's face, gets no reaction,
as:
LEIT
Ask him, and make sure he answers
you.
His tone is menacing. Scary.
MUNCH
I don't think that's going to be
possible, doctor.
Leit turns his bug-eyed gaze in Munch's direction just as
the beam of a flashlight shines through the splintered door
and someone tries to open it. Leit and Munch both look in
that direction.
COP (O.S.)
Police! Open this door!
6 ANGLE AT THE DOOR 6
The door flies open TOWARD CAMERA as the COP kicks it open.
Flashlight in one hand, gun in the other, he enters.

Some one has found the fusebox. As the lights come back on,
we see: The cop, several people craning from the doorway,
Lois in her trance -- and the body of Dr. Neal Faraday (X)
sprawled on the floor. Leit and Munch are nowhere to be
seen. A window curtain flaps in the breeze.
FADE OUT.

_ACT ONE_
FADE IN:
8 INT. LOIS'S APARTMENT - NIGHT 8
A bright white LIGHT flashes INTO CAMERA. As we WIDEN we
see that the police photographer is taking pictures of Dr.
Faraday's body, and other forensics types are doing their
jobs. Beyond this activity:
9 ANGLE 9
Lois is sitting on a chair. CLARK hovers solicitously.
MAYSON DRAKE is here, too, questioning Lois, and the cop who
busted down the door is nearby. Clark has a supportive hand
on Lois's shoulder, and don't think Mayson doesn't notice.
LOIS
I have no idea what happened. The
last thing I remember is him
pushing me back into the apartment.
and saying, 'I'm sorry, miss.' Who
is he?
Mayson turns to the cop.
MAYSON
And you found her in some kind of
trance?
COP
Yeah. I shook her and yelled at
her; it didn't seem to have any
effect. After a few minutes she
came out of it by herself.
MAYSON
(to Lois)
The coroner's here. He's a doctor,
would you like him to look you
over?
Lois glances over to where the coroner is poking around on
the body.
LOIS
Thanks, I prefer doctors with live
patients.
(again)
Who is the dead man?
Again, Mayson stays on her own track. She checks her
notebook.

MAYSON
The neighbors say that at least two
other men came into this
apartment...
Lois is getting a tad irritated.
LOIS
So you told me. And I told you: I
didn't see them.
Clark jumps in to smooth things over.
CLARK
(of the cop)
He didn't see them, either.
The cop nods.
LOIS
(to Mayson)
Excuse me, but don't the _police_
investigate crimes and then send
you the information? I mean, isn't
it _their_ job to gather the
evidence and _your_ job to decide
whether or not to file charges
_after_ an arrest has been made?
Mayson opens her mouth to speak, but:
LOIS (CONT'D)
And correct me if I'm wrong, but I
feel reasonably sure my lips are
moving. Am I in a vacuum? Is
there any sound coming out?
(leans forward)
Can-you-tell-me-who-the-dead-
guy-is?
It's getting tense in here. Again, Clark jumps in.
CLARK
(to Mayson)
Do you know whose body it is?
MAYSON
(to Clark)
His I.D.'s all say he's Neal (X)
Faraday
(to Lois)
Does that name mean anything to
you?

LOIS
No.
She stands up.
LOIS (CONT'D)
But it will.
Lois's briefcase stands open.on her desk. She takes a few
pens from the pencil cup -- including, of course
unwittingly, Dr. Faraday's device. As she slots them into
the pen-holding loops in the briefcase:
LOIS (CONT'D)
I plan to learn everything there is
to know about Neal Faraday. (X)
She slams the briefcase closed -- not violently, but firmly.
10 INT. DAILY PLANET - DAY #2 10
CLOSE ON Lois's computer screen at the Daily Planet. Lois
is running available data on Neal Faraday. WIDEN to see (X)
that Lois is at the keyboard. She rubs her eyes and takes a
swig of coffee; obviously, she's been at it for a while.
Clark is here, too, sitting on her desk, a learned
scientific journal open in his hand. He's all but
scratching his head as he reads.
CLARK
According to this, there are only
about eight people on planet Earth
who're capable of understanding Dr.
Faraday's theories, and I can tell
you: I am not one of them.
LOIS
If he's famous enough to get
written about in that magazine, how
come we never heard of him?
CLARK
Because there are only about eight
people on planet Earth --
LOIS
-- who can understand his theories.
Okay, I get it. (X)
Behind them, way on the other side of the room, JIMMY is (X)
waylaid by an attractive young woman, who says something to (X)
him and moves on. Jimmy watches her go, then heads this (X)
way, his lips moving. (X)

CLARK
Listen to this:
(reading)
'The nonlinear amplifier multiplies
the input signals, with obvious
trigonometric results.-' Obvious to
whom?
Lois is still punching keys at the computer as:
LOIS
The result would be amplified waves
with frequencies equal to the sum
and difference of the original
frequencies.
Clark gives her a look.
CLARK
What?
Lois looks up from the screen.
LOIS
What did I just say?
CLARK
I have absolutely no idea.
Lois shakes her head to clear it, returns to her computing. (X)
LOIS
(punching keys) (X)
There's just no record of where (X)
Dr. Faraday's been for the past (X)
three years. A brilliant (X)
scientist gives up his teaching (X)
post, cuts himself off from his (X)
family and friends, and (X)
disappears. Why would he do that? (X)
What was he working on? (X)
CLARK
I don't know, Lois. (X)
Somewhere during the preceding dialogue, Jimmy stops at her (X)
desk, muttering to himself: (X)
JIMMY
555-0648, 555-0648, 555-0648... (X)
He grabs a scratch pad and reaches for a pen in Lois, open (X)
briefcase. Of course, he snags Dr. Faraday's device. He (X)
tries to write with it. (X)

JIMMY
555-0648, 555-0648... (X)
The "Pen" won't write. He shakes it, tries again, all the (X)
white repeating the phone number. Lois and Clark are (X)
watching him. Lois takes pity on him, takes the "pen" away (X)
from him and hands him another, which works. He writes the (X)
number down and wanders off with it. Lois tosses Dr. (X)
Faraday's device in the wastebasket, returns to her (X)
computer. Clark retrieves the pen and holds it in front of (X)
her face. (X)
CLARK
Why did you throw this away?
LOIS
It doesn't work.
CLARK
Maybe it just needs a refill.
LOIS
No, it's probably disposable.
Everything is.
CLARK
That's one of the big problems with
this world. Disposable products,
disposable relationships,
disposable lives. If everything is
expendable, what happens to
friendship, to trust, to loyalty?
What happens to love, Lois?
Lois has been gazing at him as he's been venting his opinion
of disposability.
LOIS
It's a _pen_, Clark. But if you
feel so strongly about it, be my
guest, keep it, it's yours.
He puts it in the pen tray on his desk.
CLARK
Thanks.
PERRY appears, carrying hard copy.

PERRY
(to Lois)
Is this some kind of a joke? You
were supposed to give me a
first-person account of what
happened at your apartment last
night.
LOIS
Well, I did, Perry
PERRY
Then explain this to me:
(reads from copy)
'Coherent laser light from laser
diodes can supplant electric
current and enable pixels to be
processed simultaneously, in
parallel, with no circuitry.' What
the Sam Hill does that mean?
Lois is puzzled.
LOIS
(echoing Clark)
I have absolutely no idea.
PERRY
It sounds like that gobbledy-gook
the science desk comes up with. I
don't understand it. I don't like
it. It annoys me.
He thrusts the copy at her.
PERRY (CONT'D)
Rewrite it so that normal people
can follow what you're saying.
He leaves, back to his office. Lois is staring at the
offending copy. Clark is staring at Lois.
CLARK
Did you study science in school?
LOIS
Sure. And here's what I learned: (X)
the hypotenuse is opposite the (X)
right angle. (X)

That's geometry. Is geometry
science?

She returns to her computer. Clark returns to his journal. (X)
11 INT. LEIT'S LAB - DAY 11
It's real high-tech. Cutting edge fiber optics research.
Lait and Munch are here. Munch is a man who can entertain
himself.an @ are; he's practicing different facial
expressions in a gleaming steel tabletop. Dr. Lait is on
the phone. Near him is a computer with Lois Lane's whole
life on the screen.
LEIT
Yes, dear... Yes, dear... No dear,
it was just an unfortunate
coincidence that Faraday ran into
that particular apartment... Yes,
dear, _do_ know that she's a nosy
reporter and a friend of
Superman...
During this, Leit is slowly slumping, like his backbone is
collapsing in on itself, like he's trying to become
invisible.
LEIT (CONT'D)
Yes, dear, nobody knows better than
I do that I've spent 27 million
dollars of my own money on this
project... Yes, dear, except for
you...
A longer pause, during which we hear a spate of
indistinguishable Greek-accented words. Whatever she's
saying to him straightens his backbone and:
LEIT (CONT'D)
No, Marianna, I have absolutely no
intention of conceding defeat to a
girl!
He hangs up, turns to Munch.
LEIT (CONT'D)
We must recover the device. It's
the prototype, the only one in
existence. Without it, the project
is doomed.

MUNCH
Faraday obviously used it on this
reporter babe, so all the
information is in her brain. We
need her, too.
LEIT
The information is safe there for
the moment. We're the only ones
who know how to access it.
MUNCH
It leaks.
LEIT
What leaks?
MUNCH
The information.
This is news to Leit, and he's not happy.
LEIT
I thought it lay dormant in the
brain until it was activated.
MUNCH
Faraday had a different agenda,
doctor. He was a nice guy. He
_wanted_ the information to be
accessible to the recipient. For
him, that was the whole point. All
the knowledge of all the ages
carried on a single beam of light
directly into the human brain.
Instant schooling.
LEIT
Faraday was a fool. Whoever
controls what goes into people's
brains and controls their access to
it -- that person controls the
world. The world, Munch!
MUNCH
You don't have to convince me,
doctor. I'm already bought and
paid for.
Leit doesn't even hear him. He's lost in a rapturous
fantasy of omnipotence.

_should_ be slaves. And then
I'll --
Munch shakes him.
MUNCH
Doctor, get a grip.
Leit snaps out of it.
MUNCH (CONT'D)
You can fantasize after we solve
some pretty big problems. Like
how to find the device. Like how to
kidnap Lois Lane without having to
deal with Superman.
LEIT
We _have_ to deal with Superman.
MUNCH
Why?
LEIT
Think, Munch, think! The only way
to access the information implanted
in Lois Lane's mind is...
He gestures for Munch to supply the answer.
MUNCH
X-rays?
LEIT
And Superman has...
MUNCH
X-ray vision?
LEIT
And if enough information leaks out
of her brain for them to figure
that out, then Superman can
retrieve all the information. And
if that happens, all our plans are
doomed. So we _must_ find a way to
neutralize Superman.
MUNCH
Hey, I just work here. You're a
doctor. You're supposed to be
smart. You think of something.

Leit reacts. Hmmm.
12 INT. DAILY PLANET - NIGHT #2 12
It's not later but it is the and of the day; and since it's
winter, it gets dark early. Lois and Clark are at their
respective desks, on their respective phones.
LOIS
-- Do you know anybody who might
have some idea where Dr. Faraday
went after he stopped teaching at
the university?
CLARK
-- And that was the last article he
submitted to your magazine?... I'm
sorry, your journal? Could you
tell me what the article was about?
Lois hangs up, obviously having gotten nowhere. Clark is
listening to someone who's confusing the hell out of him.
He picks up Faraday's device from his pen tray but doesn't
use it yet.
CLARK (CONT'D)
Ah, could you put that in layman's
terms?
Mayson Drake has entered the room, looks around, spots
Clark, and heads his way. Lois has spotted her, Clark
hasn't. He's trying to get the "pen" to work. He gives it
a twist and light shines out. He covers the receiver and says
to Lois:
CLARK (CONT'D)
No wonder it wouldn't work -- It's
not a pen, it's a flashlight.
Lois looks over his head for:
LOIS
Hi, Mayson.

the "flashlight" and puts it back in his tray while still
listening to the person on his phone.
LOIS (CONT'D)
(to Mayson)
You have more questions for me?
MAYSON
No, the police are investigating.
I'll just wait for the results.
Clark ends his call and hangs up.
CLARK
Light, I think.
LOIS
What?
CLARK
Light. Apparently Faraday
understood the properties of light
better than anyone who ever lived.
And apparently those properties can
only be explained to people who
already understand them. Hi,
Mayson.
MAYSON
Hi, Clark. Could I talk to you?
CLARK
Sure.
Mayson cuts a glance at Lois, who takes a hint, stands.
LOIS
I know you'll both excuse me while
I find something to do... over
there.
She wanders away, but not too far. The coffee machine,
maybe, where she runs into Jimmy. Together, they overhear: (X)
MAYSON
I know you're a nice guy, Clark,
and I don't want to seem, um, too
forward...
He's waiting, giving her an encouraging smile.

Mayson relaxes a little.
MAYSON
Good. That makes it easier: I
have a cabin in the mountains. I'm
going up for the weekend, leaving
tomorrow after work... I was
wondering if you'd like to join me.
Lois reacts. So does Jimmy. So does Clark.
JIMMY
(sotto)
All right, C.K.
Jimmy makes a little "yesssss" gesture. Lois pierces him
with a look as her PHONE RINGS. She goes back to her desk,
picks up the receiver.
LOIS

Lois Lane --
MAYSON

It's cold this time of year, but
there's a fireplace and a wood-
burning stove...
Lois has a strange expression on her face.
LOIS
Who is this?
Mayson keeps talking as Clark tunes his superhearing to:
MUNCH (V.O.)
(Lois's phone)
Never mind who I am. If you want
to know about Dr. Faraday, come to
Metropolitan Park. Come now, and
come alone. If you bring anybody
with you, you will learn nothing.
The PHONE GOES DEAD. Lois hangs up.

MAYSON
So how about it? I could pick you
up here after work tomorrow.
CLARK
It sounds great, Mayson
He's just about to say "but" when Perry arrives.

So are my reporters. So far

Clark? What have you come up with?
Clark really wants to get out of here and follow Lois.
CLARK
Well, not much, Perry, but --
PERRY

You see? Excuses. Sometimes I
think my name is Perrybut. I'm
sorry, Perrybut; I tried, Perrybut;
I hope so, Perrybut. You know, the

CUT TO:
13 EXT. PARK - NIGHT 13
It's cold. It's dark. As Lois enters cautiously, the park
seams deserted. She looks around, moves in deeper.
LOIS
Hello? Hello?
Suddenly a bright light hits her face -- not a techno-light,
just a really bright light. She shields her eyes, but can
see nothing behind the light..
LOIS (CONT'D)
I'm Lois Lane...
LEIT (V.O.)
We know who you are, Miss Lane.
Where's the device?
LOIS
Excuse me?
LEIT (V.O.)
Dr. Faraday's device. Where is it?
LOIS
I have no idea what you're talking
about. Who are you?
She hears WHISPERING VOICES from behind the light but can
distinguish no words. She takes a few steps toward the
light.
LEIT (V.O.)
Come no closer, Miss Lane!
Lois stops.
LEIT (V.O.)
Where is Superman?
LOIS
I don't know. You said you'd tell
me about Dr. Faraday.

Munch is holding the powerful flashlight in one hand, a gun

MUNCH
Am I really supposed to shoot her?
LEIT
It's blanks, Munch, _blanks_.
We're just trying to lure Superman
here. If he shows up, you try to
grab the girl while I deal with
him.
MUNCH
And if I can't get her?
LEIT

Then we'll do it later, Munch!

Tell me this, Miss Lane...

LEIT (V.O..)
Does Superman always appear when
you find yourself in mortal danger?
LOIS
I'm not sure that's a question I
want to hear when I'm standing out
in the open with a light shining
in my face talking to somebody I don't
know and can't see.
A hand appears in the light -- a hand holding a gun.
LEIT (V.O.)
Perhaps you'd be good enough to
answer it, anyway.
Lois stares at the gun.

Well, yes he does, or he has so

instant --
The GUN FIRES. SUPERMAN LANDS between it and Lois. As he
does, an intense, strange, violet-colored light beams
directly into his eyes. He seems to be like a deer trapped
in oncoming headlights. We now see that Leit is holding a
device that's shining this light into Superman's eyes.

Munch has turned off his powerful flashlight. He dashes
toward Lois, grabs her and starts dragging her back toward
Leit. He's got her in a hold she can't fight.
LOIS
Superman! Help!
Superman lunges toward her, pulls her away from Munch and
flies off with her. Munch, who's been knocked down, gets
up. He and Leit watch the two fly away.
MUNCH
Well, did it work?
LEIT

There's nobody here, but the curtains start to billow and we
hear, from outside:
LOIS
A little to the left and down just
a few feet.
Superman's feet come into view, descending toward the window
ledge. As the rest of him appears, we see that he's still
carrying Lois. He overshoots the ledge.
LOIS (CONT'D)
Too far. Up, up... Now.
He lands. She comes through the window and then helps him
in as:
LOIS (CONT'D)
Watch your head, the window's

His head hits the window, sending it flying. Lois ducks it;
it crashes into a wall and falls to the floor.
LOIS (CONT'D)

SUPERMAN
Sorry.
She takes his arm and guides him to the couch. He sits,
looking a bit out of place. The suit looks great flying
through the air, strange in the parlor. Lois is unsure how
to handle this situation.
LOIS
Can I get you anything? I -- I
don't know what to do. I'm so
sorry. What happened?

Lois is in bed, not asleep. She's staring at the ceiling.

Not exactly what Lois was expecting, perhaps, but important

Jimmy comes over, sits on Clark's desk.
JIMMY
Where's Clark? I need to talk to

LOIS
You can talk to me.
JIMMY
Thanks, but it's a guy thing. (X)
LOIS
'A guy thing' means it's either

Maybe we could have some indication somewhere that this is
the Star Labs parking lot. A smallish Indian man loads a
couple of black cases into the back of a station wagon.
Before he can close the hatch, Munch appears and tosses the
guy into the back of the wagon, slams the hatch. Now Leit

Superman is in the kitchen, making himself some hot

when there's a KNOCK.
SUPERMAN
Coming.
He makes his way to the front door, knocking over a vase on
his way. He feels around for the doorknob, opens the door.
Leit is standing there, Munch is directly behind him holding
Dr. Bannerjee's black bags. Superman is looking kind of
toward them but not quite at them, after the fashion of
blind people. Dr. Leit is pleased. He smiles a satisfied
smile, then:

A little later. Superman is sitting in a straight-backed
chair. Dr. Lait -- who will speak with an Indian accent
until otherwise indicated -- is peering into Superman's eyes
using the same device he used to blind the Man of Steel.
Munch can be seen in the hallway. He's searched the bedroom
and bathroom and is working his way back toward the living
room. At the moment he's looking in a drawer in a table.
Nothing. He slides the drawer shut, noiselessly, as:
LEIT

You are completely without sight?
SUPERMAN
Yes.
LEIT
No colors, no shapes?
SUPERMAN
No.

Leit clicks off the light, returns it to his pocket.
LEIT
You understand your eyes are not

Munch is in the living room now. He makes some noise
opening a drawer. Superman cocks his head.

Munch silently continues searching the living room. Leit
returns his attention to Superman.
LEIT
So, a man shined a light into your
eyes, was this a deliberate attempt
to blind you?
SUPERMAN
Oh, yes.
LEIT
Hmm. I do not know for certain
what happened of course, how could
I?, but it is the case that
ultraviolet light makes certain
substances opaque, substances that
are otherwise transparent. Clear
glass, for instance. Perhaps it is
the same with the Kryptonian eye.
Superman is more interested in:
SUPERMAN
Can anything be done to restore my
sight?
But Leit's off on:
LEIT
It is an interesting theory, yes?
Though the loss of sight is always
tragic, the man who thought of this
method of blinding you is clearly a
genius. I would like to meet him.
SUPERMAN
So would I.
LEIT
But, of course, your sight is more
important than anything else, and I
am apologizing now for wandering
down this path of theoretical
science when clearly you are most

Superman may be blind, but there's nothing wrong with his
reflexes. He reaches out and grabs Leit, immobilizing the
fake Dr. Bannerjee. Munch scrambles to his feet and goes
after Lois, who's ready for him this time and knocks him
back over the sofa. Keeping a tight grip on Leit, Superman
listens to the fight in progress.
SUPERMAN
Lois? Are you all right, Lois?
Munch leaps at Lois. They engage. Superman can hear
grunting and groaning. He unconsciously tightens his grip

Clark's a grown man, Jonathan, he

KNOCK at the door. Lois, entranced, doesn't respond very
quickly. Superman cocks his head, SUPERHEARS:
JONATHAN (V.O.)
(whispering)
Now remember, Martha, he's not
Clark. He's not our son. He's
Superman.
MARTHA (V.O.)
Yes, dear.
SUPERMAN
(to Lois)
It's the Kents.
LOIS
The Kents? Clark's parents? How
do you know?
He taps his ear.
LOIS (CONT'D)
What are they doing here?
SUPERMAN
(smiles)
You could let them in and ask them.

Lois leaps up.
LOIS
Oh!
She goes to the door, opens it.
MARTHA
Hi, Lois.
LOIS
Martha. Jonathan. Come in.
There's a question in her voice. It doesn't get answered.
Martha sees Superman.
MARTHA
Oh, Superman. How are you?
(to Lois)
We're so sorry, we should've
called. Clark wasn't home, so we
thought -- Well, I guess we didn't
think.
It's a fine performance.
SUPERMAN
No, please come in. I know Lois is
always happy to see you -- and so
am I.
Martha's near him now, puts a hand out to touch his arm,
looks closely at his face. She squeezes his arm. She's
upset but covering in front of Lois. Superman is not an
idiot, he knows how she must feel, so:
SUPERMAN (CONT'D)
Lois?
LOIS
Over here.

Do you have any oolong tea?

Oolong?

Oolong.

No... Do you want some?

Martha chimes in:

Oolong sounds wonderful.
Jonathan takes pity on Lois. He puts his coat back on.
JONATHAN
Let's you and me go find these tea
drinkers some oolong, Lois.
He's taken her coat from a rack by the door and is helping
her into it. Martha opens the door. Lois feels like she's
being hustled out of her own apartment, and of course she's
right. She stops and turns:
LOIS
Superman...
SUPERMAN
Everything is fine, Lois. I just
want some oolong.
Jonathan pulls the door closed with himself and Lois on the
other side of it. After a moment, we hear FOOTSTEPS WALKING
AWAY. Martha puts her arms around Superman.

JIMMY
Okay, sure. Clark's not home. (X)

No, Mayson, no, Clark's not here

Mayson notices there's something strange and strained here.

Silence. Jimmy's really disappointed, and Perry's too
experienced to jump in here.

Why would he give up...

34 EXT. STREET - DAY 34
It's getting on toward evening now. Lois and Jonathan exit
a small specialty-foods shop and walk toward her car. Each
is carrying a couple of bags. Apparently they found more to
buy that just oolong. Lois has told Jonathan about
everything.
JONATHAN
I can't believe they had real
scones. Martha loves real scones.
Superman likes them, too, as I
recall. You have butter?
Lois nods, preoccupied. Jonathan notices. They arrive at
her car and load the bags.
JONATHAN (CONT'D)
Lois... Superman is a very strong
young man. Inside, where it
counts. And he knows you're here
for him. We're all here for him.
Without really meaning to, Lois blurts out:
LOIS
I just don't understand how Clark
could go away for a weekend with a
woman he hardly knows. And now, of
all times! He and Superman are
friends, and Superman needs him.
JONATHAN
Does Clark know that?
LOIS
Well, no, I guess not. I'm sorry,
Jonathan, I know Clark's a good
person and a good friend. I'm just
upset about Superman.
JONATHAN
I understand, Lois, and I think --
A CAR SCREECHES up beside them, Munch jumps out, grabs Lois

Mayson?
He seems to be looking right at her, so she's a little
confused.

Yes...
SUPERMAN
Thank goodness you're here... And
thanks for coming so quickly.
Mayson still looks puzzled. Jonathan extends a hand.
JONATHAN
I'm Jonathan Kent, this is my wife,

Superman is really frustrated. Martha steps in:

Sit down, Miss Drake, and we'll try
to explain.
36 INT. LEIT'S LAB - NIGHT 36
LEIT
Sit _down_, Miss Lane!
Lois has risen from the chair she's in. She's looking
pretty pugnacious for somebody who's outnumbered. Leit and
Munch are here.
LEIT (CONT'D)
If you do not sit down, I will turn
Munch loose on you, which I prefer
not to do at this time. Munch does
not positively _enjoy_ hurting
people, but it's part of his job
description, and he's quite good at
it.
Lois sits back down.
LEIT (CONT'D)
Thank you. Now, I will repeat what
I said, and please remain seated
this time: Superman will be
permanently blind...
She has a reaction, but she remains seated.

Munch searched Dr. Faraday's body
on the night he died, and, as you
know, he has searched your (X)
apartment. Munch is incredibly
thorough, therefore I must conclude
that you have discovered and
removed the device. Where is it,
Miss Lane?
LOIS
Don't you think I'd tell you if I
knew? Don't you think Superman is
more important to me than some
thingamajig that I never saw and
don't know what it is?
Leit considers this. He sits down across from Lois, makes
himself comfortable.
LEIT
I'm going to tell you what it is,
Miss Lane. I'm going to tell you
what it looks like, and what it
means, and what it's capable of
doing. And there you will tell me
where it is.
37 INT. LOIS'S APARTMENT - NIGHT 37
Superman and the Kents are sitting in the living room
listening to: (X)
MAYSON
We've learned a lot in two days.
The dead man, Dr. Faraday, was a
genius. His experiments were
being funded by a wealthy eye (X)
doctor named Harold P. Leit.
JONATHAN
What were they working on?
MAYSON
Dr. Faraday developed a device
which can carry all the knowledge
of all the ages -- or any variation
thereon -- on a single beam of
light directly through the eyes
into the brain.
They all ponder what this means. Then:

MARTHA
Oh my. A terrible thing, in the
wrong hands.
MAYSON
Yes, and I think we can assume that
Dr. Leit's hands are definitely the
wrong hands.
38 INT. LEIT'S LAB - NIGHT 38
Gesturing with his hands, Leit is winding up his explanation.
LEIT
... so you see, Miss Lane, why the
device is important to me.
LOIS
It would allow you to pretty much
control the world, wouldn't it?
LEIT
No, no, my motives are purely
altruistic, I assure you. It gives
everyone equal access to
knowledge -- and, as we all know,
knowledge is power.
He doesn't expect Lois to believe that his motives are
good. Lois has realized: (X)
LOIS
He used it on me, didn't he? Dr.
Faraday? Before he died? There
are things in my brain that I don't
know how they got there. But I
don't have access to them, really,
they just kind of leak out from
time to time.
LEIT
It's a two-step process. The
information is implanted, then it
must also be switched on, so to
speak. Now, tell me where I can
find the device.
LOIS
What does it look like?
Leit is getting pissed.

LOIS (CONT'D)
I really don't know.

All right, I will humor you: The
device looks like a ballpoint
pan -- a gleaming silver ballpoint
pan.
38A FLASHBACK FROM SCENE 10 38A(X)
Clark puts the device in his pen tray. (X)
38B BACK TO SCENE 38B(X)
Leit sees on Lois's face that she knows what he's talking (X)

I can see in your eyes that you
know where it is.
LOIS
And I can see that Dr. Far

to have it.
Munch puts one hand around Lois's throat and pulls her to
her tiptoes
MUNCH
Don't be rude, girlie.
LEIT
Munch...
Munch lowers Lois.
LEIT (CONT'D)
We do have a bargaining chip.
(to Lois)
You tell me where the device is,
I'll give you the antidote for
Superman's blindness.
LOIS
There's an antidote?
Lois is really relieved, but then:

LEIT
Well ... ?
LOIS
You first.
LEIT
I don't think so
LOIS
Then we have a problem, because I
don't trust you to keep your side
of the bargain.
Leit gets in her face.
LEIT
You don't seem to grasp that you're
in a life-or-death situation here,
and you're outnumbered.
LOIS
You can kill me any time. I'd
rather you didn't, but there's not
much I can do about it. You can
also trust me: You tell me what I
want to know, and I _will_ tell you
what you want to know.
They're nose to nose. Leit considers, then sits back down
in his chair.
LEIT
You're right, Miss Lane. I can
kill you any time.
He takes his device from his pocket, uses it as a visual
aid. He enjoys telling someone about his brilliance.
LEIT (CONT'D)
It was brilliantly simple. I used
ultra-violet light to blind
Superman.

He switches it on. We see the violet beam. So does Lois,
who doesn't believe him, because:
LOIS
Ultra-violet light is not visible
to the naked eye.
LEIT
I mixed in some visible light from
the cold end of the spectrum so
that I could see to guide the beam
into his eyes
He demonstrates, moving the beam around. Lois has jumped
ahead of him:
LOIS
-- So the antidote is infra-red
light?
LEIT
Very good, Miss Lane.
He flips a switch on his device: Hot red light beams out.
LEIT (CONT'D)
Is that Dr. Faraday's knowledge, or
your own?
Lois is staring at his device.
LOIS
You mixed in visible red.
LEIT
Yes.
He's done with this now. Lois watches him return the device
to the side pocket of his jacket (this will be important
later.)
LEIT (CONT'D)
Now -- Where is Faraday's device?
He means business. Reluctantly, Lois keeps her end of the
bargain:

Yes, dear, I imagine so. He _is_

Superman takes his hand away after having tripped the

Superman hesitates. Munch tightens his grip on Lois, who
gasps in pain.
SUPERMAN
All right, doctor. Catch!
He tosses the device toward them, hoping, of course, to make
them let go of Lois to lunge for the device. It doesn't
work. The device CLATTERS to the floor nearby.
LEIT
Nice try, Superman. Munch,
retrieve the device, please.
Munch lets go of Lois and steps forward to get the device.
As he does, Lois suddenly stomps the shit out of Leit's
foot. As he cries out and grabs for his foot, Lois reaches
into his pocket and retrieves the Superman-blinding device.
LOIS
Superman! Look this way!
Several things happen at once: Lois shines the RED LIGHT
into Superman's eyes, restoring his sight. Munch recovers
Faraday's device. And Lois moves out of harm's way. Then:
SUPERMAN
(to Munch)
Drop the device.
LEIT
(to Munch)
No! Give it to me! Give it to me!
Munch hesitates. Superman aims some cool-looking HEAT
VISION at the device, which starts to get hot. Leit lunges
for it, screaming:
LEIT (CONT'D)
No! No!
As he grabs it -- at the moment he and Munch are both
touching it -- the device EXPLODES from the VISION thing.
It's an explosion not of sound, but of LIGHT -- a searing,
blinding WHITE LIGHT that FILLS THE SCREEN, PULSATES, and
then STARTS TO SUBSIDE.

Lois finishes, hits the final keystroke that sends the

Behind them, unnoticed by them, Clark has gotten off the
elevator and is headed this way.
LOIS
And gene-splicing, and gender-

Clark arrives.
CLARK
Hi...
They all swivel their heads to look into his innocent,
smiling face. There's dead silence while they gaze at
him -- Lois still thinks he's been away with Mayson, and
Perry and Jimmy think he stood Mayson up, and Clark knows
that Lois thinks he went away with Mayson, but since he
never said yes to Mayson in the first place, he doesn't know
anybody thinks he stood her up. And anybody who remembers

are people, too. They deserve fair
treatment.
What? Perry doesn't wait, he just sort of claps Clark on
the shoulder and moves off. By the time Mayson arrives,
Perry's going into his office, and Lois and Jimmy have moved
off together to someplace where they can see but not hear
Clark and Mayson. Unsure exactly what's going on, Clark
faces Mayson.
CLARK
Hi...
Mayson just gets right to it:
MAYSON
I want you to know I was really
humiliated when you stood me up...
He starts to speak, but she keeps going:
MAYSON (CONT'D)
... and I still think it was a
rotten thing for you to do, but
I've met your parents now, and
spent some time with them, and they
are such wonderful people that I'm
willing to assume that any son of
theirs wouldn't do what you did and
that this weekend was some kind of
misunderstanding. I won't ask you
for an explanation, and I won't ask
you out again, but if _you_ want to
ask _me_, I probably won't say no.
She plants a light kiss on his lips and leaves, either to
give him time to think or to be alluring. Clark blinks.
53 LOIS AND JIMMY 53
who've been watching Clark and Mayson.
(CONTINUED)
--page break--
THE EYES HAVE IT (#12) FULL Blue Rev. 12/5/94 60.
53 CONTINUED: 53
JIMMY
Major babe.
LOIS
You'd think after a whole weekend
together -- a three-day weekend --
she wouldn't need to see him again
quite so soon.
Jimmy reacts to this. Apparently she doesn't know.
JIMMY
They didn't go.
LOIS
What?
JIMMY
He stood her up.
LOIS
What?
She turns to look at Clark.
54 AT CLARK'S DESK 54
Lois comes over. Clark is still gazing in the direction
that Mayson took. Lois gets in his face to get his
attention.
LOIS
If you weren't with Mayson, where
have you been for the last three
days?
Aaaahhhhh... (X)
FADE OUT.
