Lors des funérailles de l'avocate Mayson, Loïs ouvre un cerceuil, où elle avait entendu du bruit, et voit un homme vivant mais quand elle revient vers ce cerceuil, il est mort.

Loïs et Clark décident d'aller fouiller le bureau de Mayson pour trouver des indices qui pourraient les mener à quelque part et ils veulent savoir ce que Mayson a voulu dire avant de mourir par le mot "Résurrection". Ils trouve un homme, Daniel Scardino, un agent fédéral.

Au Daily Planet, ils obtiennent des photos d'un homme qui fouille la voiture de Mayson avant qu'elle meurt et il s'agit du même homme que Loïs a vu dans le cerceuil. Clark décide d'aller à la fourrière et il trouve une pilule dans cette voiture.

C'est Stanley Gables qui a créé cette pilule et il a aussi crée un virus mortel. Il tente de tuer Loïs et Clark. Stanley tente de tuer Loïs mais Daniel la sauve. Ensuite, il reste prostré devant chez elle et se permet d'y entrer mais Loïs arrive vers lui en colère et armée. Il essaye de s'expliquer mais Clark arrive à ce moment pour donner de nouvelles informations.

C'est l'avocat de Gables, Albie Swinson, qui téléphone à Loïs pour lui annoncer les plans de son maître. Il veut asperger la ville de son virus.

Loïs, qui était dans un cerceuil pour échapper à des hommes, se fait sauvée par Superman, ensuite ils vont au StarLab pour arrêter les malfaiteurs.

   1   EXT. WHISPERING PINES CEMETERY - DAY #1                                     1  

       LOIS AND CLARK are among the mourners attending Mayson's
       graveside funeral.  PERRY and JIMMY stand quietly off to the
       side, Jimmy next to an attractive girl.  A PRIEST delivers
       the final benediction.

                                             PRIEST
                        Into your hands, oh Lord, we
                        commend thy faithful servant,
                        Mayson Drake.  Receive her into the
                        arms of thy mercy, into the blessed
                        rest of everlasting peace.  Amen.

       Pull back to include a new passenger van (e.g. Aerostar)
       slowly rolling to a stop in the b.g.


   2   INT. VAN - DAY - CONTINUOUS                                                 2  

       STANLEY GABLES, somewhat eccentric, 40ish, sits in the
       passenger seat.  Seated behind the steering wheel is ALBIE
       SWINSON, 30's, Stanley's loyal assistant.  Stanley opens a                   (X)
       large jar of Vitamin C and pops several into his mouth.                      (X)

                                             GABLES
                        You realize that getting rid of
                        Mayson Drake only solved half our
                        problems.

                                             ALBIE
                        We have people out looking for the
                        pill, sir.

                                             GABLES
                        I don't want looking. I want
                        finding.  Let's go.

       Albie drops the Van in gear and slowly accelerates.


   3   EXT. CEMETERY - DAY - CONTINUOUS                                            3  

       As the mourners file past Mayson's coffin, paying their
       final respects, Lois walks over to Clark who stands silently
       by the coffin and gently places her hand an his shoulder.

                                             LOIS
                        You okay?

       Clark's in his own world. He stares at the coffin thru...

                                             CLARK
                        The last thing she said was                                 (X)
                        'Resurrection.'  What was she                               (X)
                        trying to tell me?

                                             LOIS
                        Maybe you'd like a few minutes
                        alone... to say good-bye.  I'll
                        meet you at the car.

       Lois walks off.

                                             CLARK
                                (to coffin)
                        If I'd only gotten to you sooner.

   5   ANOTHER ANGLE                                                               5  

       Lois walks alone down a winding path past rows of manicured
       grave sites and marble headstones.  As she passes a plot,
       (#29B) she HEARS the SOUND of MOANS emanating from an
       unattended coffin lying by an open grave.  As she cautiously
       approaches, Gable's Van rolls to a stop in the b.g.
       Suddenly the coffin starts to shake.  Lois reaches down and
       pulls open the lid, revealing...


   6   THE CORPSE                                                                  6  

       his eyes suddenly pop open.  He reacts with confusion and
       terror At the sight of Lois.


   7   ON LOIS                                                                     7  

       equally terrified, unable to produce anything but a silent
       scream.  She slams the lid and runs back towards the
       funeral.

                                             LOIS
                        Clark!

       Albie quickly jumps out and heads for the coffin.  He
       removes a large purple pill from a plastic container, flings
       open the lid and quickly crams the pill down the groggy
       corpse's throat.


   9   INT. VAN - DAY - CONTINUOUS                                                 9  

       Albie hops back into the limo and starts it up thru...

                                             ALBIE
                        Sorry, Mister Gables.  Just a
                        little mistake with the original
                        dosage.

                                             GABLES
                                (cynical)
                        A little mistake.  Albie if
                        Resurrection is to succeed, I can't
                        afford any more corpses waking up.
                                (threatening)
                        And neither can you.

                                             ALBIE
                        Yes sir.

       As Albie maneuvers the van down the path...

  10   EXT. CEMETERY - DAY - PLOT #29b - SHORT TIME LATER                         10  

       The coffin has been lowered.  The two grave diggers, CRAVEN
       and AL tend to the grave.  Al sits behind the controls of an
       earth mover as Craven stands off to the side with a shovel. 
       As the earth mover ROARS to life, lifting dirt and dumping
       it into the grave, Lois returns with Clark in tow.  She
       gestures wildly to the grave diggers amid the NOISE.

                                             LOIS
                                (shouting over the roar)
                        Hey!  Wait!  Stop!

       Craven gestures to Al to cut the engine.  He does.

                                             CRAVEN
                        You got a problem, lady?

                                             LOIS
                        The body you just buried is still
                        alive.  He opened his eyes and
                        looked at me.

       Craven just shoots her a look, then starts to shovel some
       dirt into the grave.

                                             LOIS (CONT'D)
                        Hey!  I know what I saw!
                                (grabbing Craven's shovel)
                        Dig him up!

                                             CRAVEN
                        Lady, they don't pay me enough for
                        this aggravation.

       Craven grabs his shovel back as Clark looks down into the
       grave using his X-RAY VISION thru...

                                             LOIS (O.S.)
                                (to Craven)
                        Doesn't it bother you the tiniest
                        bit you could have buried a man who
                        is still alive?

       Clark sees the body lying totally motionless and at peace.

                                             CRAVEN
                        Look, I got a work order to plant
                        this guy in 29B.

                                             CRAVEN (CONT'D)
                        Now unless I get a _court_ order
                        telling me not to, I'm plantin'
                        him.  And if you don't get out of
                        my face you may become the first
                        person ever ejected from a
                        cemetery.

                                             CLARK
                        Lois, listen to yourself.  Look,                            (X)
                        we've all been through a lot of                             (X)
                        stress.

       Lois hesitates.  Maybe Clark's right.

                                             CLARK (CONT'D)
                        C'mon, let's go back to the                                 (X)
                        office.                                                     (X)

       The elevator door opens. Lois and Clark step out in
       mid-argument.

                                             CLARK
                        ... muscle spasms. After death
                        it's not uncommon for a body to
                        have involuntary movements.  Ticks,
                        knee jerks... even belching.

                                             LOIS
                                (unconvinced)
                        Okay.  Fine.  I imagined the whole
                        thing.  It never happened.

       Lois and Clark head for their respective desks.

                                             JIMMY
                        Um, Lois.  I was wondering if I
                        could ask you a favor?

                                             LOIS
                        Sure.

                                             JIMMY
                        Think I could borrow your Jeep
                        tonight?  See, I met this _totally_
                        cool girl this morning...

                                             LOIS
                                (taken aback)
                        This morning?  At Mayson's funeral?
                                (he nods)
                        Jimmy, I've heard of people looking
                        through obituaries hoping to find
                        low rent apartments, but I never
                        knew anyone who went to a funeral
                        looking for girls.

                                             JIMMY
                        It didn't start out that way.
                        Honest.  It just... happened.

                                             LOIS
                        What about Angela?  I thought she
                        was the love of your life.

                                             JIMMY
                        She's yesterday's news.                                     (X)

                                             LOIS
                        That didn't take long.                                      (X)

                                             JIMMY
                        Lois, I'm young, single...  I have
                        to keep my options open... Anyway
                        she left me for a guy with a
                        Ferrari.  So, what do you say?  Can
                        I borrow the Jeep?

                                             LOIS
                        Tell you what.  I'll lend you the
                        Jeep if you find out who's buried
                        in plot twenty-nine B at Whispering
                        Pines.

                                             JIMMY
                        You got it.

       Lois hands him the phone number and Jimmy heads off. Clark
       is at his desk deeply engrossed in his work as Perry
       approaches.

                                             PERRY
                        How are you holding up, son?
                                (no response)
                        Clark?

                                             CLARK
                        Huh?  Oh, okay I guess.

                                             PERRY
                        Howls the story coming?

                                             CLARK
                        Slow.  I just can't seem to get a
                        handle on it.  I don't know why.

                                             PERRY
                        Son, there's a reason why surgeons
                        don't operate on members of their
                        own family.  You and Mayson were
                        pretty close.  If you need some
                        time off, let me know.

       Clark nods as Lois approaches.

                                             PERRY (CONT'D)
                        Oh, by the way, there's a federal
                        agent from the DEA coming by later
                        today looking into Mayson's murder.
                        Maybe he can shed some light on
                        your investigation.

                                             LOIS
                        Why's the DEA involved?

                                             PERRY
                        Don't know.  Could be they think
                        it's mob related.  Mayson made
                        quite a few enemies with Intergang.

                                             CLARK
                        Maybe if I can get into her office.
                        Go through her files.

                                             PERRY
                        Police have it cordoned off.
                                (beat, then)
                        But then, when has a little police
                        tape ever stopped you two before?

       Lois and Clark and Perry exchange a conspiratorial smile.

                                                                    CUT TO:


  12   INT. OFFICE HALLWAY - DAY - LATER                                          12  

       Lois and Clark, disguised as office cleaners, push a cart
       filled with cleaning supplies down the hall to Mayson's
       office.  The door is padlocked.

                                             CLARK
                                (holding up paper clip)
                        This shouldn't take long.

       As he turns to the door, an office worker passes, taking a
       bite out of a sandwich.

       Clark stops and busies himself, head down, at the cart.  The
       worker tosses what's left of his sandwich into the
       wastebasket hanging on Lois' cart.  It hits the side and
       lands on the floor.  Oblivious, he keeps going.  Lois
       reacts, annoyed.

                                             LOIS
                        Excuse me!

       The worker turns and eyes her.  Clark shoots her a look to
       avoid confrontation.  She takes a beat, then, forcing a
       smile...

                                             LOIS (CONT'D)
                        Thank you.

       ... and gingerly picks up the sandwich, dumping it into the
       wastebasket.  Clark turns back to the door and, pretending
       to use the paper clip, quickly breaks the lock with two
       fingers.

                                             LOIS (CONT'D)
                        Sometimes I think you're in the
                        wrong profession.


  13   INT. MAYSON'S OFFICE - DAY - CONTINUOUS                                    13  

       Lois and Clark slip into the office, closing the door behind
       them. He goes  to a file cabinet, she to the desk.

                                             CLARK
                        See if you can find some connection
                        to Intergang or what she meant by
                        'resurrection.'  My guess is it
                        would be something she worked on
                        recently.

       Clark SPEED READS the files.  Lois scans the desk top.  Her
       eyes rest on a file marked STANLEY GABLES.

                                             LOIS
                        Here's something she received the
                        day before she died.  It's a file
                        on someone named Stanley Gables.

                                             CLARK
                        Anything about Intergang or
                        resurrection?
                                (Lois shakes her head)
                        Keep looking.

       Lois moves aside a law book and finds a half-eaten meatball
       hero.  She picks it up.

                        It's still warm.

                                             CLARK
                        A meatball sandwich?

                                             MAN (O.S.)
                        Molinaro's.  Best in the city.

       Lois and Clark react as DAN SCARDINO jumps down from an                      (X)
       open ceiling panel, and lands in front of them, wielding a
       gun the size of Cleveland.  He's about thirty, rugged good
       looks, well built and oddly enough, is also dressed in the

                                             SCARDINO (CONT'D)                      (X)
                                (re: sandwich)
                        Go ahead.  Take a bite.  They also

                        knock your socks off.

                                             CLARK
                        Who are you?

                                             SCARDINO                               (X)
                        The cleaning man.  Who are _you_?

       Lois tries to placate him while inching her way toward the
       door with Clark.

                                             LOIS
                        The cleaning _woman_.  How's that
                        for a coincidence?  We're all
                        cleaners.  Guess the agency
                        overbooked.

       Scardino shakes his head and cocks the gun, stopping her.                    (X)

                                             SCARDINO                               (X)
                        Y'know, I'm a very sensitive guy.                           (X)
                        I just hate it when people lie to                           (X)
                        me.

                                             LOIS
                        But you don't mind lying yourself.                          (X)

                                             SCARDINO                               (X)
                                (amused)                                            (X)
                        Ah... touche. But I've got the                              (X)
                        gun, so my lie takes precedence.                            (X)

       levels the gun right at Clark.

                                             CLARK
                        His eyes were brown.  Dark brown
                        and shifty.

                                             LOIS
                        I wouldn't call them shifty,
                        exactly. But  they were soft...
                        and warm.

       The artist looks up at Lois, then over to Clark.

                                             CLARK
                        Just brown.  Thin lips.  Hard set
                        jaw.

                                             LOIS
                        I wouldn't say hard.  More like...
                        chiseled.  And his lips had this

                        he smiled.

       Clark shoots Lois an exasperated look.  She's got to be                      (X)

                                             ALBIE                                  (X)
                        With all due respect sir, I don't                           (X)

                        And what about my pain!?                                    (X)

       Gables rips open his shirt exposing the top of his chest,                    (X)

                                             GABLES (CONT'D)                        (X)

                                             GABLES
                        I'm hyperventilating, Albie.  You

                                             ALBIE
                        Mister Gables, this stress isn't

                                             GABLES

  22   INT. LOIS' APARTMENT - NIGHT #1                                            22  

       The living room is bathed in candle light.  Soft music plays
       in the b.g. The DOORBELL RINGS.

                                             LOIS
                        It's open, Clark!

       Clark enters, loaded down with reference books, oblivious to
       the romantic setting.  Lois enters from the kitchen with a
       tray of hors d'oeuvres.

                                             CLARK
                        I picked up some books from the
                        library.  Bartlett's Quotations,
                        Shakespeare, Jung's Collective
                        Unconscious.  Anything that had
                        a reference to _resurrection_.

                                             LOIS
                        I hope you're hungry.

       Clark puts his books down and sits on the sofa.  Lois puts
       the hors d'ouvres on the table.

                                             CLARK
                        Did you get anything from the
                        letters?

                                             LOIS
                        Not yet, but I'm only half way
                        through them.

                                             CLARK
                        I should phone the office.  Maybe                           (X)
                        the police lab called on that
                        incendiary device.

                                             LOIS
                        Wait.  You probably haven't eaten
                        all day.  Here.  Try one of these.

       She pops an hors d'oeuvre in his mouth.  He grimaces, then
       starts to cough.

                                             LOIS (CONT'D)
                        Too much curry?  I knew it.

       He waves her off indicating it's okay and starts for the
       phone.  She stops him again.

                        Here.  Have some wine:

       Lois offers him a glass of wine.  Clark refuses.

                                             CLARK
                        Lois, is there some reason we're
                        not getting down to work?

                                             LOIS
                        Well, actually there is something I
                        wanted to ask you first.  I need to
                        know...  Am I yesterday's news?                             (X)

                                             CLARK
                        What?

                                             LOIS
                        You know.  Stale, old.
                                (then)
                        It's been over a week since our
                        first date... and... our first
                        kiss.  And... you haven't said a                            (X)
                        word about it.  It's like... it
                        never happened.

                                             CLARK
                        Lois, I had a great time on our
                        date.  I'm sorry if you feel...
                                (stops; sniffs the air)
                        ... you smell something?

       They react to a small stream of smoke wafting into the
       living room from the kitchen.

                                             LOIS
                        I made you souffle!

       As they bolt from the sofa for the kitchen the DOORBELL
       RINGS.

                                             CLARK
                        I'll get the souffle.  You get the
                        door.

       They split up.  As Clark disappears in the kitchen.

                        Rumaki!  My favorite.

                        Mmm.  Not bad.  A little heavy on

                        you like this, but I was thinking
                        that maybe if we started working

       Clark returns from the kitchen.  He's not thrilled at the

                                             CLARK
                        I didn't know you invited Agent

                                             LOIS
                        I didn't.

                                             SCARDINO                               (X)
                                (to Clark)
                        Well look who's here.  The man with

                                             CLARK
                        What are you talking about?

       Scardino pulls the diary from his jacket.                                    (X)

                                             SCARDINO                               (X)
                        Mayson's diary.  Pretty steamy

                        novel.

                                             LOIS
                                (impressed)
                        You read Emily Bronte?

                                             SCARDINO                               (X)
                        Guilty as charged.  Anyway Kent,
                        she wrote some really passionate

                                             LOIS
                                (to Scardino)                                       (X)
                        You have to understand.  Clark was
                        probably the only one in Metropolis
                        who didn't know Mayson was madly
                        in love with him.

                                             CLARK
                        Who's holding out on who,
                        Scardino?  You took the diary.                              (X)

                                             SCARDINO                               (X)
                        I'm willing to share.  You work

                        Now, what've you got for me?

                                             LOIS
                        The last thing Mayson said to Clark
                        before she died was the word
                        'resurrection.'

                                             SCARDINO                               (X)
                                (recalling)
                        Resurrection?  The last entry of

                        he mailed.  About being in a

                        He said the bomb that killed Mayson

                        Mallory.  If that's true...

       She looks at Clark.

                                             CLARK

       Lois hands him a nail file.  Blocking her view with his

       panel at SUPER SPEED, then pulls out the cylindrical metal
       tube.  He opens it and discovers a purple pill like the one
       we saw Albie give the man in the coffin.

                        The 'French Connection.'  It was

                        Did Dr. Hamilton say how long it

                        Hey, so you're Buster.  Just like                           (X)
                        Mallory said.  Best lookin' guy in

                                             BIG BUSTER
                                (squinting up at Lois)
                        Yeah?  And... who are you?

       Lois extends an eager hand.

                                             LOIS
                        Angel. Mallory's old lady.  This

                                             JIMMY
                        I got the info you wanted on that
                        stiff in the cemetery.
                                (drops file on her desk)
                        Diego Martinez was serving twenty
                        years for bank robber.  The guy
                        was an expert at getting past
                        security systems.  Except the last
                        time.

                                             LOIS
                        Look at this.  It says he was in
                        good health, but under cause of
                        death they have 'unknown.'

                                             JIMMY
                        That's because there wasn't an
                        autopsy.  Budget cuts.  The guy at
                        the prison infirmary says they send
                        the bodies directly out to the
                        cemeteries.

       Jimmy exits as Lois spots Clark approaching, deeply                          (X)
       engrossed in a fax.

                                             LOIS
                        What's that?

                                             CLARK
                        Dr. Hamilton faxed over his report
                        on that pill we found in Mayson's
                        car.
                                (hands her fax)
                        It's a form of synthetic
                        barbiturate.  Taken in large enough

                        Mr. Sunshine, we have a lot of

                                             MR. SUNSHINE

                        I always carry my office with me.
                        This way, we don't have to waste

                                (lays it on a coffin)
                        When you're a cemetery, use of
                        space is very important.

       As Mr. Sunshine pulls out a brochure from his folder, Lois
       and Clark exchange a look.  They must get a look inside that

                                             MR. SUNSHINE (CONT'D)
                        Now... I have only three words to

                        Could you show them to me?

       She indicates an area away from his folder.

                                             MR. SUNSHINE
                        Well, those _are_ the economy
                        models.... but it would be my
                        pleasure.

       Sunshine reluctantly leads Lois away from the folder,
       allowing Clark to stealthily flip through it thru...

                                             MR. SUNSHINE (CONT'D)
                        Frankly, those models offer very

                        They're just slightly better than a

                                             SCARDINO                               (X)
                        Hold it.  You're not going
                        anywhere.  Someone just tried to

                                             LOIS
                        It's okay.

                                             SCARDINO                               (X)
                        And to ask you a question.
                                (and then)
                        What would you say if I asked you
                        out sometime?

                                                                    (CONTINUED)

                            --page break--
       RESURRECTION (#17)    FULL Pink Rev.     2/6/95                        59.     


  76   CONTINUED:  2                                                              76  

       Lois glances over at Clark, who's still on the phone,
       focused on writing down movie titles on a pad of paper.  But
       of course, he's heard everything they've said.

                                             LOIS
                        Are you asking me out?

                                             SCARDINO                               (X)
                        I didn't say that.  I said, what
                        would you say if I did?                                     (X)

                                             LOIS
                        I guess it would depend on how you                          (X)
                        asked me.

                                             SCARDINO                               (X)
                        Tell you what.  I'm going to be
                        around for awhile.  The agency
                        could use an extra hand down here.
                        Why don't you think about what                              (X)
                        you'd say, and I'll think about how
                        I might ask you... and we'll talk. -

       He smiles and moves off.  Lois watches him go, then turns to
       Clark, who hangs up and shows her the list of movies.  He
       smiles, but his heart isn't in it.

                                             CLARK
                        Looks like you have some choices to
                        make.

       Off their reactions, we...

                                                                    FADE OUT.

                                      _THE END_
