De ce fait, il en parle à Loïs et vont directement chez la première patiente et ils la sauve juste à temps d'une agression. La jeune fille est amené au Daily Planet et Loïs décide de l'héberger quelques temps.
La deuxième personne est portée disparue selon Clark mais elle attaque le Daily Planet et meurt d'un coup. Tout le monde est abasourdi par ce qui se passe.
Il y a 20 ans, l'armée a implanté un virus inactif dans le corps de ces trois personnes, dont Jimmy. Le virus peut-être activé grâce à la substance nommée la Tansion. Il provoque alors une paralysie de la libre-pensée et ils deviennent des soldats et obéissent aux ordres.
C'est grâce à une veuve et sa fille docteur qu'ils ont pu apprendre cela et elles essayent de vendre ce concept et elles testent les cobays. Quand Jimmy entend le mot guerrier, il se dirige dans l'appartement de Loïs pour la tuer et la jeune fille essaye de tuer Clark. Superman sauve Loïs et Jimmy.

1 INT. DOCTOR FROST'S OFFICE - NIGHT #1 1
A darkened office. The silhouetted figure of a woman
wearing SURGICAL GLOVES, works quickly to pick the lock on a
file cabinet, then starts rifling through file folders.
Suddenly, a shaft of light floods the office as the door
swings open revealing DOCTOR ALAN FROST, late 50's, a simple
man in sport jacket and tie, who's stunned by what he sees.
DR. FROST
Katherine! What are you doing?!
The woman turns, revealing DOCTOR KATHERINE PEROT, 30-ish,
smart and beautiful.
KATHERINE
Doctor Frost!
DR. FROST
I thought this was settled. Those
files are to be destroyed.
KATHERINE
Those files represent years of my
father's work.
DR. FROST
Katherine, Project Valhalla was a
horrible mistake.
CLAUDINE (O.S.)
Was it?
2 ANOTHER ANGLE REVEALS 2
CLAUDINE PEROT, Katherine's mother, late 40's-early 50's. A
sultry, attractive woman, revealingly dressed to the nines
including white gloves, and a Tiparillo. She gives the
impression she'd destroy anyone who got in her way. Think
Joan Collins only not as classy. She steps into the office,
closing the door behind her.

KATHERINE
(cynical)
Nice work mother. I thought you
were going to keep him occupied.
CLAUDINE
Yes. Well, apparently I'm not
Doctor Frost's type.
KATHERINE
(sarcastic)
Really? I can't imagine why not.
DR. FROST
Claudine, this is insane. Even
your husband admitted that
experiment never should have
happened.
CLAUDINE
But George is dead and as his widow
I'm entitled to all his belongings.
Including his files on the Valhalla
Project.
DR. FROST
That's absurd. Look, I've already
begun putting calls out to the
kids who were involved in the
experiment...
CLAUDINE
(interrupting)
Then we'll just have to work a lot
faster.
She nods to Katherine who turns back to the file cabinet.
As Frost turns toward Katherine, Claudine pulls a letter
opener from her purse.
DR. FROST
No! You can't play God with
people's lives...
Claudine comes up behind him, stabbing him in the back with
the letter opener. He stiffens a beat, then falls to the
ground.
CLAUDINE
Oh yes we can.
Katherine turns, holding a folder boldly marked VALHALLA.
She eyes the fallen doctor, then looks at her mother who
slips the letter opener back into her purse.

Are the targets in there?
Katherine lays the folder down on a table and opens it.

Fanned out are three pages that look like a doctor's initial
interview page with the patient's name, address, date of
birth, and a 3X5 black and white photo in the corner. As
we go close on the top page, the name and photo come into
focus: JAMES B. OLSEN.

CLOSE ON a CONE SHAPED WOOD CARVING resting on Lois' desk.
We WIDEN to REVEAL a puzzled LOIS and JIMMY eyeing it.
JIMMY
Okay, I give. What is it?
LOIS
It's a... well, it's obviously
a...
(surrendering)
Dan Scardino sent it over and I
don't have a clue as to what it is.
Jimmy SPINS THE CARVING on it's base, revealing he has a
rash on his forearm thru...
JIMMY
Here's one clue. It's ugly.
Lois notices Jimmy scratching his arm.
LOIS
That must be some itch.
Jimmy raises his arm and we focus on the DISTINCTIVELY
PATTERNED RASH.
JIMMY
Yeah. I get it every year around
this time. Ever since I was a kid.
LOIS
Ooof. Looks awful. Don't they
have some cream or something you
can put on it?
JIMMY
I've tried everything. But my doc
says not to worry.
PERRY (O.S.)
Jimmy...
JIMMY turns and sees PERRY standing at the entrance to his
office. Perry looks uncomfortable, somber.

Sure, Chief.
As he exits, DAN SCARDINO appears at Lois' desk.
DAN
(re: gift)
Hi. I see you got it.
LOIS
Oh... uh yeah... thanks. You
shouldn't have.
DAN
Well, anybody can send flowers, and
I thought this would be something
you could really appreciate.
LOIS
And I do.
(awkward beat)
So
DAN
So if you remember, a while back
we talked about us maybe going out.
LOIS
(sighs)
Dan, I'm flattered, I really am.
It's just... there's someone I've
kinda been seeing...
DAN
Kent.
(off her nod)
Nice guy. Real... polite.
LOIS
Well, there's more to him than
that. He's bright, he's...
Scardino's eyes stop her cold. The way he's looking at
her... she could swim in them forever.
LOIS (CONT'D)
He's... he's polite...
She stops, realizes that sounds familiar.
DAN
They say good things come to those
that wait. I got time.
He flashes a dazzling smile, then heads for the elevators,
leaving a conflicted Lois behind.

CLARK enters from a side entrance, spots Scardino leaving.
A troubled look crosses his face as he approaches Lois.
CLARK
What did he want?
LOIS
Huh? oh, he just came by to say
hi. You know, in the neighborhood,
that sort of thing.
CLARK
(re: carving)
He give you that?
LOIS
Yeah. Just something he saw and
thought I'd like.
Clark nods, less than thrilled. As he turns to head for his
desk...
LOIS (CONT'D)
I wish I knew what it was.
CLARK
(to himself)
It's trouble.
Perry exits his office, his arm around a stunned Jimmy.
PERRY
Lois. Clark.
He gestures for them to approach. As they do...
LOIS
Jimmy... what's the matter?
JIMMY
(shaken)
Dr. Frost has been murdered.
CLARK
Alan Frost? The doctor who writes
that weekly column for us?
PERRY
The same. He was also Jimmy's
family doctor.
JIMMY
He just called me yesterday. Left
a message on my machine. I was
gonna call him back today...

Perry hands Clark a slip of paper.
PERRY
According to the police, Frost also
left messages with these two other
patients. But they never talked
with him either. I want you two on
this.
Lois and Clark nod, turn to leave when...
JIMMY
Chief? I want to go with them.
PERRY
Now Jimmy, I understand how you
feel, but...
JIMMY
Chief, please. I knew Dr. Frost my
whole life.
PERRY
(beat, then)
All right.
As Jimmy flashes him a grateful smile...
CUT TO:
6 INT. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR - DAY 6
Lois, Clark and Jimmy approach a counter at a nurses station
manned by NURSE BERKEY, no doubt a drill sergeant in a
former life. She's swamped under paper work and she's
cranky. Nearby is Doctor Frost's office door, with yellow
police tape across it.
CLARK
Excuse me, we're from the Daily
Planet. We'd like to take a look
at Doctor Frost's office.
NURSE BERKEY
Oh, you would? Well we have strict
orders not to turn this place into
a media circus.
LOIS
Well...
(eyeing her nametag)

that we...

Do you understand English?

Perhaps you could interpret for
her.
(to approaching worker)
Charlene, there's a case of
pentobarbitol missing from your
inventory report. Find it.
(to Lois)
Do I need to call security?
Clark leads Lois away. Jimmy follows.
LOIS
Do you believe that woman's
attitude
JIMMY
Talk about your bedside manner.
CLARK
We're going to need a diversion to
get by her.
He eyes a pregnant woman being pushed past in a
wheelchair...
CLARK (CONT'D)
I've got an idea.
WIPE TO:
7 INT. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR - LATER 7
A very pregnant woman with an oxygen mask over her face lies
on a gurney that's wheeled down the corridor by a doctor in
surgical scrubs, including mask and cap. A closer look
reveals Clark as the doctor, the patient, Lois. Suddenly,
Lois lets out a loud MOAN and continues MOANING thru...
CLARK
Nurse! I have an emergency here!
8 ANOTHER ANGLE 8
Nurse Berkey rises from her seat and hurries to the gurney,
as Jimmy appears from behind a corner and slips past the
nurses station into Frost's office unseen.
NURSE BERKEY
What do you need doctor?

CLARK
I'm going to need an operating room
for a C-section!
Nurse Berkey-quickly heads back to her station and picks up
the phone thru...
NURSE BERKEY
Who should I get for an
anesthesiologist?
Clark's face suddenly goes blank. Lois MOANS louder.
CLARK
Anybody!
As Nurse Berkey starts dialing...
NURSE BERKEY
What's the diagnosis?
CLARK
Uh... uh...
Another LOUDER MOAN.
CLARK (CONT'D)
Pain! A lot of pain!
A skeptical look crosses Berkey's face. Then...
NURSE BERKEY
Take the staff elevators Doctor,
it's faster.
Clark and Lois exchange a look, obviously neither of them
know where the staff elevators are. Another LOUD moan as
Nurse Berkey eyes them, suspicious.
NURSE BERKEY (CONT'D)
Doctor! The staff elevators!
She points down the corridor, opposite of the way they came.
Clark runs to the other end of the gurney and quickly pushes
in the direction the nurse pointed.

Claudine Perot, in a low cut suit rounds a corner with an
ADMINISTRATOR and her daughter Katherine, in lab coat.

CLAUDINE
As a member of the board of
directors I can tell you Jim, we're
very unhappy with the level of
security for this hospital.
As Clark tries maneuvering the unwieldy gurney past the
threesome he loses control and CRASHES into a food cart.
The impact sends trays flying and Lois' 'baby,' a
BASKETBALL, rolls out from under the sheet. As Katherine
Perot picks it up, an angry Nurse Berkey advances on them.
Lois hops off the gurney.
LOIS
(backing up)
Well. Guess I won't be needing
that C-section after all.
They turn and take off passing the Perots who eye them as
they disappear into a stairwell.
KATHERINE
(to Berkey)
What was that all about?
NURSE BERKEY
A couple of Daily Planet reporters
trying to poke around Alan Frost's
office.
CLAUDINE
(to Administrator)
You see Jim? That's exactly what
I'm talking about.
As Katherine looks after our heroes, concerned...
CUT TO:
10 EXT. HOSPITAL - DAY - MINUTES LATER 10
Lois and Clark, now in street clothes, hurry out through the
front doors onto the sidewalk, laughing.
LOIS
I gotta admit Clark, that was a
pretty out there scheme.
CLARK

I've been taking lessons from Dan
Scardino.
Jimmy rushes up to them.

What happened to you guys?
LOIS
Our basketball arrived a little
early. You find anything?
JIMMY
It's what I didn't find that's
interesting. Yeah.
He pulls out the slip of paper Perry had given Clark.
JIMMY (CONT'D)
You know those two other people
Doctor Frost tried to call? Their
files are missing, along with mine.
(and then)
You ever get that feeling in your
stomach like something really bad's
gonna happen?
LOIS
I think we ought to try finding
these people. See what you all
have in common. Jimmy and I will
take Sarah Longley.
(to Clark)
You look for this G.E. Mallow.
CLARK
Okay. And Lois? Stay close to
him.
Off Lois and Jimmy's concern...
CUT TO:
11 INT. APARTMENT HALLWAY - DAY - LATER 11
Lois and Jimmy come down a hallway checking numbers on
doors. Suddenly, they hear a woman's SCREAMS coming from
one of the apartments. They rush to the door.
JIMMY
It's hers!
Together they use their shoulders and try breaking the door
in. On the second try, it works.

12 INT. SARAH LONGLEY'S APARTMENT - DAY - CONTINUOUS 12
Lois and Jimmy burst in to discover SARAH LONGLEY, early
20's, pretty, smart, with an acerbating wit and a tendency
to overanalyze everything. At the moment she's standing in
her living room, struggling to extricate herself from the
grasp of MARTIN WONG, late 20's, powerfully built.
JIMMY
Hey, leave her alone!
At the sight of Jimmy and Lois, Wong releases Sarah, darts
through an open window and heads down a fire escape.
LOIS
(to Sarah)
Are you all right?
SARAH
(dazed)
Yeah, I think.
JIMMY
I'm going after him!
As he heads for the window...
LOIS
Jimmy, no!
But it's too late. He's already out the window.
LOIS (CONT'D)
What happened?
SARAH
I don't know. The last thing I
remember is waking up on the couch
and seeing that guy standing over
me.
CUT TO:
13 EXT. STREET - DAY - MOMENTS LATER 13
Wong drops six feet from the bottom of the fire escape
ladder to the sidewalk and races across a sidewalk to a
motorcycle. Wong kick starts the cycle as Jimmy drops from
the fire escape ladder in hot pursuit.
14 ANOTHER ANGLE 14
Clark rounds a corner and sees Jimmy racing after Wong,
who's pulling away from the curb, just feet ahead of Jimmy.
Clark ducks into a doorway and rips open his shirt REVEALING

Suddenly, SUPERMAN STREAKS down out of the clouds, heading
straight at the oncoming, speeding motorcycle.
17 ON WONG - INCLUDING HIS POV 17
Superman's heading straight at him. It's a game of chicken!
18 ANOTHER ANGLE 18
At the last moment, Wong tries to swerve around Superman.
As the two speeding figures meet, Superman snatches him off
the bike.
19 ANOTHER ANGLE 19
The riderless motorcycle crashes into a dumpster, Wong's
helmet bouncing along behind it.
20 ON STREET 20
Superman floats to the ground holding the helmetless Wong by
the collar as Lois, Jimmy and Sarah come running over.
SUPERMAN
(to Wong)
I've never lost a game of chicken
yet.
JIMMY
Thanks Superman.
(to Wong)
Who are you!?
Wong remains impassive and silent.
SUPERMAN
I'll take him downtown. Maybe the
police can get him to talk.
Sarah grabs Wong by the shirt.

I want some answers.

revealing they both have the same odd looking rash.
22 RESUME SCENE 22
JIMMY
How long have you had that rash?
SARAH
Ever since I was a kid. I get it
every year at this time. Why?
Off Lois, Jimmy and Superman's concerned reaction....

Half a block away, a dark, late model Jaguar rests near the
curb. Inside, Claudine and Katherine Perot passively watch
the scene.

Frost's murder?
LOIS
I'm sure it's a possibility the
police will be investigating.
JIMMY
I wonder what else we have in
common besides Doctor Frost and
this rash?
LOIS
Sarah how long have you been seeing
Dr. Frost?
SARAH
All my life. Ever since my Dad was
stationed at Fort Truman.
JIMMY
You were born at Fort Truman? Me
too! How old are you?
SARAH
I just turned nineteen.
JIMMY
Me, too! This is getting really
weird.

Well we don't have that in common.
Clark approaches.

At the police station. Detective
Wolfe told me what happened.

Hi. I'm Clark Kent.

Hi.

station? I thought you went to get
G.E. Mallow.

He's missing. The police think
he's been kidnapped.

26 INT. KATHERINE PEROT'S OFFICE - DAY 26
A consultation office with a door leading to an examining
room. Katherine and a revealingly dressed Claudine huddle
over the stolen files with MR. MUUNOUR (Moon-hour), a short,
slight emissary from a Middle Eastern country.
CLAUDINE
Only three of Project Valhalla's
100 test subjects are still living
in Metropolis. Katherine's
completed tests on one. I think
you'll be impressed with her
findings.
MR. MUUNOUR
I am impressed with nothing I have
seen so far.
CLAUDINE
(shamelessly flirting)
Nothing?
KATHERINE
Mother please... have SOME respect
for yourself.
CLAUDINE
(patiently)
My daughter views this project as
some kind of validation of her late
father's work. Me, I smell money.
Lots of money. So my goal is to
please you.
KATHERINE
(to Muunour)
The synthetic virus injected into
these subjects is lying dormant and
can be activated only during
heightened metabolic periods.
These periods are indicated by a
red rash.
MR. MUUNOUR
Go on.
Lifting a model of the human brain.
KATHERINE
The virus only affects the
pre-frontal cortex... that's the
area that controls free thought.
MR. MUUNOUR
I know what it is. I'm not a
moron.

KATHERINE
(challenging)
So I can assume you know where that
area is.
Muunour confidently pinpoints an area on the model with his
finger. Katherine pushes his finger over an inch. He
withdraws, unamused.
KATHERINE (CONT'D)
The ultimate effect is similar to
brain washing. Once the subject is
injected with the pentobarbitol
serum the virus is activated. Then
they're able to be controlled by
use of the trigger word, 'Warrior.'
MR. MUUNOUR
But given the price you ask, you
still haven't convinced me of its
value.
KATHERINE
You know, Mr. Muunour, unlike my
father, you are a man of little
vision.
CLAUDINE
Katherine...
KATHERINE
(ignoring her)
The virus can be mass produced.
Under the guise of public health,
you can set up clinics and alter
everyone in your country.
CLAUDINE
Imagine, a whole nation that
blindly answers to your command.
I'd say that's valuable, wouldn't
you?
MR. MUUNOUR
I want proof. And on a male
subject only.
(to Katherine)
Where I come from, we don't need
drugs to control our women.
Claudine ignores him but Katherine struggles to hold her
tongue.

Well, aren't we in luck.

Sarah's in the kitchen cooking scrambled eggs. Lois comes
into the kitchen dressed but still in rollers. As Lois
grabs a cup of coffee...
SARAH
You know I can tell a lot about you
by the way you've organized your
kitchen. I'm taking this course in
applied psychology and...
LOIS
Sarah, there's something you need
to know. I hate anyone trying to
analyze me.
She heads back toward the bedroom.
SARAH
That's amazing. That's exactly how
I would have described you from the
way you organized your kitchen.
Lois stops and shoots her a look, then decides not to get
into it. She exits to the bedroom as the DOORBELL RINGS.
SARAH (CONT'D)
I got it.
She goes to the door and opens it revealing Dan Scardino.
He flashes his big smile.
DAN
Hi. Is Lois home?
Sarah takes Dan in. Obviously he's not her type.

Lois appears in the background, hair now brushed and ready
for work.
LOIS
Dan. What are you doing here?
Sarah finally steps back, her analytical eyes never leaving
him. A little disconcerted, Dan quickly slips by.
DAN
I just came by to ask if you'd made
a decision.
LOIS
Oh, that... Uh, well, to be
perfectly honest... things have
been a little hectic since
yesterday.
SARAH
(coyly)
Would you two like to be alone?
LOIS DAN
No. Yes.

Since she's putting me up, I'll go

DAN
Who are you?

DAN
Ferment? Lois, we're not making
wine here. It's just a casual
evening out.
LOIS
Dan, a casual evening out is what
you have with friends of the same
sex. What we're talking about has
much bigger implications.
Sarah returns to the living room eating her eggs off a
plate.
SARAH
I'm afraid she's right, Dan. You
know, the imprint of a male female
relationship is formed from the
moment both parties meet. So
any...
LOIS
Sarah. I don't think Dan's
interested in applied psychology
right now.
CLARK (O.S.)
Lois?

Clark stands in the open doorway. Having both Clark and Dan

Look, I'll uh... catch you later.
And he exits. There's an awkward moment as Clark and Lois
don't know whether to discuss Dan or ignore him. Then...
SARAH
You know what you two are doing

thinking the exact same thoughts
but you're both hoping the other

They both turn to her, their eyes shooting daggers.
SARAH (CONT'D)
I uh... I think I left something in
the bathroom. 'Scuse me.
She quickly slips away toward the bathroom.
LOIS
So what did you find out?
CLARK
Mallow was born in the same Army
hospital as Jimmy and Sarah. But
get this. Doctor Frost was head of
pediatrics there before he resigned
and went into private practice.
LOIS
(intrigued)
Really.
(then not happy)
I hate military investigations.
You can never get anywhere.

STORMIN' NORMAN
Don't know. The whole thing was

Claudine takes a vial and a hypodermic needle off the

pokes his head out of his office.
PERRY
Jimmy.
It takes Jimmy a second for it to register, then...
JIMMY
Huh? Oh... yeah Chief?
PERRY
(approaching)
You getting enough sleep, son? I
know if I don't get at least eight
good, my carcass drags the whole
day.
JIMMY
It's weird. I woke up on the
couch, but I don't remember going
to sleep last night. I don't
remember much of anything after
Sarah and I kiss...
He stops himself, but it's too late. A grin crosses Perry's
face, and he glances over at Sarah, who's at Lois' desk,
studying a college textbook.
PERRY
(cheshire cat)
Well, that explains a lot. You're
not the first stallion to have a
hard time concentrating when
there's a fillie in the field.
(checks watch)
Speaking of young fancy... where's
Lois and Clark? It's almost noon.
JIMMY
Sleeping in. They were out late on
that stakeout.
PERRY
Y'know, back when I was a young
reporter, the old pros could pull
an all nighter and still come in
bright and early the next day.

TARGET: JIMMY OLSEN! Blake & Jackson 2/22/95 45.
51 CONTINUED: 51
PERRY (CONT'D)
(admiringly)
Yup... they were real newspaper
warriors.
At the mention of "warriors", Jimmy subtly reacts. He
blinks his eyes and shakes his head imperceptibly. But we
can tell by his eyes that something's happening to him.
PERRY (CONT'D)
Oh... there's Clark...
Perry walks off, leaving a dazed Jimmy behind.
52 ANOTHER ANGLE - AT CLARK'S DESK 52
Clark's settling in as Perry approaches.
PERRY
How'd it go last night?
CLARK
Nothing happened. Dr. Perot didn't
leave her office till three and
then went straight home.
Canfield's watching her now.
PERRY
(handing him a message)
Well, Stormin' Norman called, said
he remembered the National Security
Agency has a file in their archives
on the Valhalla Project.
CLARK
(eyeing message)
It's in their data base in
Washington. Looks like I have some
hacking to do.
His phone rings.
CLARK (CONT'D)
Kent. What?! How?
(and then)
All right. We'll see you back
here.
(hangs up; to Perry)
Canfield lost Dr. Perot. She left
her house and he lost her in
traffic.
(CONTINUED)
--page break--
TARGET: JIMMY OLSEN! Blake & Jackson 2/22/95 46.
52 CONTINUED: 52
PERRY
(steamed)
Damn! Well, see what you can get
from that data base.
As a still dazed Jimmy drifts by...
CLARK
Hey Jimmy. You okay?
PERRY
Aw, he's fine.
(to Jimmy)
You just need to get some sleep.
As Perry exits...
JIMMY
(softly)
Yes sir.
As a pre-occupied Clark turns his attention to his computer,
Jimmy drifts to his desk, sits down and immediately drops
off to sleep.
CLARK
Hey Jimmy. You know what I could
use? A big fat cup of...
He looks up, spots Jimmy asleep in the chair..
CLARK (CONT'D)
I'll get it myself.
As we HOLD ON Jimmy napping...
CUT TO:
53 INT. KATHERINE PEROT'S EXAMINING ROOM - DAY 53
Katherine enters with Mister Muunour, surprised to find
Claudine on a massage table, getting rubbed down by LARS, a
large, blond Nordic male.
KATHERINE
Mother, what are you doing?
CLAUDINE
What does it look like, dear? You
should try it once in a while.
KATHERINE
How are we supposed to have this
meeting with him here?
(CONTINUED)
--page break--
TARGET: JIMMY OLSEN! Blake & Jackson 2/22/95 47.
53 CONTINUED: 53
MR. MUUNOUR
I hope this was not a waste of my
time.
CLAUDINE
Don't worry. Lars doesn't
understand a word of English.
(to Lars)
Isn't that right, you gorgeous
blond moron.
Lars flashes a big smile to Claudine as he keeps working.
KATHERINE
Mister Muunour won't be satisfied
with Jimmy Olsen just robbing
Metropolis Mercantile.
MR. MUUNOUR
(to Claudine)
If you're selling me the technology
to create assassins who kill
without remorse, Mrs. Perot, then
demonstrate what you're selling.
Claudine eyes him a beat as an idea forms.
CLAUDINE
(to Katherine)
Well, I didn't think we'd have to
go that far... but this may work
out well for both of us, in more
ways than one.
(reaches for a cellular
phone)
Not only will we prove the Olsen
boy can kill... we'll get rid of
some nosy reporters as well.
CUT TO:
54 INT. DAILY PLANET BULLPEN - DAY - LATER 54
Jimmy still naps in his chair.
VOICE (O.S.)
Jimmy! Line one.
Jimmy stirs, opens his eyes.
JIMMY
What?
(CONTINUED)
--page break--
TARGET: JIMMY OLSEN! Blake & Jackson 2/22/95 48.
54 CONTINUED: 54
VOICE (O.S.)
Line One. For you.
Jimmy slowly picks up the phone.
JIMMY
Olsen.
Jimmy suddenly reacts, blinking his eyes and shaking his
head imperceptibly, just like he did when Perry
inadvertently said "warrior." Then...
JIMMY (CONT'D)
Yes... yes... I understand.
He hangs up and starts across the bullpen, his eyes eerily
focused on something only he can see. He passes Perry,
who's approaching his office, reading over some copy. Jimmy
brushes his arm as he passes.
PERRY
Jimmy? Where you going?
JIMMY
(evenly)
To see Lois. She needs me.
He never slows. Perry watches him exit, then, to himself...
PERRY
Eight hours. That's the key.
As he disappears into his office...
55 ANOTHER ANGLE - AT CLARK'S DESK 55
Clark's typing commands, but the screen keeps reading
"Access Denied". Sarah approaches and lays a large book on
his desk.
SARAH
This is the only book on Nordic
myths your library has. What do
you need this for?
CLARK
(opening book)
I'm trying to find the code word
that will let me access the
computer files on Project Valhalla.
(CONTINUED)
--page break--
TARGET: JIMMY OLSEN! Blake & Jackson 2/22/95 49.
55 CONTINUED: 55
SARAH
(doubtful)
And you think they used a word
associated with the myth?
CLARK
Long shot, huh?
She nods. Clark takes a pencil off his desk.
CLARK (CONT'D)
Uh... could you sharpen this for
me, please?
Sarah's not happy to do another menial task, but...
SARAH
Sure.
As Sarah walks off, Clark SUPERSPEED turns the pages of the
book with one hand while he SUPERSPEED types hundreds of
possible code words with the other. The computer screen's a
BLUR. Sarah returns just as Clark succeeds in breaking in.
SARAH (CONT'D)
Here. Good as.
(notices screen,
stunned)
You got in?
CLARK
(shrugging)
Sometimes long shots pay off. I
tried the word Odin. He was the
Norse God who gave the Valkyries
their orders. And... voila.
Off Sarah's impressed look...
CUT TO:
56 EXT. LOIS' APARTMENT BUILDING - DAY 56
Jimmy approaches a Jag sitting in front of the building
steps. He stops at the passenger window, which rolls down,
revealing the Perot's and Mr. Muunour inside.
KATHERINE
Jimmy, are you friends with Lois
Lane?
JIMMY
Yes.
(CONTINUED)
--page break--
TARGET: JIMMY OLSEN! Blake & Jackson 2/22/95 50.
56 CONTINUED: 56
KATHERINE
Would you please kill her.
JIMMY
Yes.
CLAUDINE
(to Muunour)
Impressive, no?
MR. MUUNOUR
We'll see.
KATHERINE
Do it now, Jimmy. Kill Lois Lane.
As an impassive Jimmy turns and heads up the steps...
CLAUDINE
One down, one to go.
CUT TO:
57 INT. LOIS' HALLWAY - DAY - MOMENTS LATER 57
Jimmy walks methodically to Lois' door. He's about to knock
when Dan Scardino appears down the hall and approaches.
DAN
Hey, Jimmy. What's up?
Jimmy, expressionless, turns to face Scardino.
DAN (CONT'D)
Lois in?
Without warning, JIMMY DELIVERS A POWERFUL BLOW to Dan's
mid-section. As the surprised Dan doubles over, Jimmy
delivers ANOTHER CRUSHING BLOW with both hands to the back
of Dan's neck. Dan crumbles unconscious to the floor. As
Jimmy drags Dan off down the hall...
CUT TO:
58 INT. DAILY PLANET BULLPEN - DAY - SAME TIME 58
Clark and Sarah read Clark's computer screen.
CLARK
Look, here's a whole section on
de-programming...
As they focus on the screen, Clark's PHONE RINGS.
(CONTINUED)
--page break--
TARGET: JIMMY OLSEN! Blake & Jackson 2/22/95 51.
58 CONTINUED: 58
CLARK (CONT'D)
Clark Kent. Yeah, she's right
here.
Focused on the screen, he absently hands the phone to Sarah.
SARAH
Hello? What?
(and then, evenly)
Yes. Yes, I understand.
She slowly hangs up the phone, her eyes cold, steely.
CUT TO:
59 INT. LOIS' HALLWAY - DAY - SAME TIME 59
Jimmy KNOCKS on Lois' door. A beat, then the door opens
revealing Lois in jeans and sweatshirt.
LOIS
Jimmy. What are you doing here?
JIMMY
(evenly)
I left my wallet here last night.
LOIS
Really? I didn't see it. But come
on in and look.
60 INT. LOIS APARTMENT - DAY - CONTINUOUS 60
As Jimmy steps, Lois heads for the bedroom.
LOIS
I was just getting dressed for
work. There's some coffee on the
stove if you want.
As she disappears, Jimmy methodically moves to a kitchen
drawer and pulls out a HUGE, GLEAMING CHEF'S KNIFE.
CUT TO:
61 INT. DAILY PLANET BULLPEN - DAY - SAME TIME 61
Sarah reaches Lois' desk, opens her purse. Behind her,
Clark's glued to the computer screen, unaware of what Sarah
is up to. As she reaches into her purse...
--page break--
TARGET: JIMMY OLSEN! Blake & Jackson 2/22/95 52.
62 ANOTHER ANGLE 62
Clark reacts to something on the screen.
CLARK
This says there's a drug that
permanently deactivates the
synthetic serum...
He looks up at Sarah just as she turns and levels the gun
she used against Jimmy. Clark reacts, then takes a quick
look at his phone. Realizes.
CLARK (CONT'D)
(rising)
It's okay, Sarah. Just relax.
Sarah cocks the gun.
CLARK (CONT'D)
Sarah? It's me, Clark. Put down
the gun.
Fat chance. As Sarah FIRES...
63 ANOTHER ANGLE 63
In one swift motion, Clark SUPERSPEEDS behind Sarah and
knocks the gun free from her. The wood carving on Lois'
desk spins crazily from Clark's backdraft as staffers SCREAM
and react to the SOUND of the shot. Clark wrestles with the
struggling Sarah as Perry and others rush up.
PERRY
Somebody get security!
(to Clark)
What in blazes is going on?!
CLARK
She's been brainwashed.
As Sarah struggles violently, two SECURITY GUARDS rush up
and take her free Clark's grip.
PERRY
Take her into my office, get her to
lie down. And somebody call the
paramedics!
As Sarah is led off...
PERRY (CONT'D)
Are you okay son?
(CONTINUED)
--page break--
TARGET: JIMMY OLSEN! Blake & Jackson 2/22/95 53.
63 CONTINUED: 63
CLARK
(nodding)
Lucky she's a bad shot.
He surreptitiously opens his hand at his side, REVEALING THE
BULLET SHE SHOT. As he drops it unseen in a wastebasket...
CLARK
Where's Jimmy?
PERRY
He left. Said Lois called and
wanted him.
Off Clark's realization...
CUT TO:
64 INT. LOIS APARTMENT - DAY 64
Jimmy, knife in hand, approaches Lois's bedroom. She's at
the bed, her back to him, now in her blouse and skirt,
brushing out her hair.
LOIS
I'm surprised Perry let you go out
alone.
Jimmy is now at the threshold of her bedroom. He starts
raising the knife...
LOIS (CONT'D)
Did Katherine Perot ever leave her
house?
Jimmy is within three steps of Lois. As he brings the knife
over his head, ready to strike, Lois, hairbrush in hand,
suddenly turns around. In that one moment everything comes
crystal clear to her.
65 ANOTHER ANGLE 65
As Jimmy brings the knife down toward her she SNAPS A SHARP
KICK TO JIMMY'S MID-SECTION sending him stumbling backward,
and the knife flying.
She makes a dash for the front door. Jimmy tackles her.
Again she kicks free. She scrambles for the door, but Jimmy
grabs her from behind and throws her back into the room.
She lands near the knife.
Jimmy also sees the knife. He dives for it as Lois reaches
for it.
(CONTINUED)
--page break--
TARGET: JIMMY OLSEN! Blake & Jackson 2/22/95 54.
65 CONTINUED: 65
She grabs it a split second before him and rolls away. They
both scramble to their feet, Jimmy in between Lois and the
door. Lois holds the knife out at Jimmy.
LOIS
(panting)
Jimmy... listen to me. It's Lois.
You've been brainwashed.
Jimmy, a chilling blank look on his face, advances on her.
LOIS (CONT'D)
Jimmy don't. Stay back.
Lois backs away as Jimmy continues to advance on her.
LOIS (CONT'D)
Jimmy, you've got to stop!
Jimmy passes a floor lamp. He picks it up and swings it at
Lois' legs. It connects, knocking her to the floor, face
down. Again the knife goes flying. Jimmy jumps on top of
Lois.
66 ANGLE TO INCLUDE LOIS' FRONT DOOR 66
The door to Lois' apartment swings open revealing the Perots
and Mr. Muunour.
LOIS
Help! Help me!
As they watch passively, Jimmy sits on Lois' back as he pins
her arms to the floor with his legs. He grabs the cord from
the lamp he swung and brings it under her neck. As he pulls
up on it A BEAM OF HEAT VISION hits the cord and it breaks
in Jimmy's hands. He looks up to see...
67 ANOTHER ANGLE 67
Superman coming through the window towards him.
SUPERMAN
Take it easy, Jimmy.
Jimmy slowly rises, then suddenly DARTS TO A WINDOW AND
JUMPS THROUGH IT with a CRASH. As Superman starts after
him...
--page break--
TARGET: JIMMY OLSEN! Blake & Jackson 2/22/95 55.
68 INT. LOIS HALLWAY - SIMULTANEOUS 68
As the three villains turn to hurry away from Lois' door,
they come face to with Dan Scardino and his gun.
DAN
Something tells me you folks aren't
Jehovah's Witnesses.
CUT TO:
69 EXT. LOIS APARTMENT BUILDING - DAY 69
Superman floats to the ground with Jimmy in his arms. Jimmy
starts coming out of his trance. He looks around.
JIMMY
Superman. What happened?
SUPERMAN
Well, for a minute there, Jimmy,
you thought you could fly.
JIMMY
Really? I can't imagine what got
into me.
SUPERMAN
You'd be surprised.
And off Superman's knowing smile...
CUT TO:
70 INT. DAILY PLANET BULLPEN - DAY - LATER 70
As Lois and Clark enter through a side entrance...
PERRY
(approaching)
Hey you two. What did the doctors
say?
LOIS
Jimmy and Sarah are going to be
fine.
CLARK
The chief physician said they'll be
out of the hospital in a day or
two. Just as soon as they can
create enough of the antidote.
(CONTINUED)
--page break--
TARGET: JIMMY OLSEN! Blake & Jackson 2/22/95 56.
70 CONTINUED: 70
PERRY
You know, I think I'll go by and
visit them. They could probably
use some cheering up.
LOIS
Uh, Perry? They're in the same
hospital room. They're pretty
cheery already.
Perry laughs. As he exits...
PERRY
Oh, by the way Lois. You got a
visitor.
He points to the coffee area, where Scardino chats with some
female staffers. Lois and Clark exchange a look, then Lois
heads for Scardino.
71 AT COFFEE AREA 71
The female staffers see Lois coming, drift away. Scardino
smiles when he sees her.
DAN
How are things at the hospital?
LOIS
Fine. They'll be out in a couple
of days.
(and then)
I didn't get a chance to thank you
for your help back at my
apartment...
DAN
It's okay. You know, I had this
terrible thought while I had my gun
pulled on them that they might be
part of your Tenant's Association
or something.
(off Lois' grin)
It would be hard for you to date a
guy who got you kicked out of your
apartment.
LOIS
(smile fading)
Daniel...
(CONTINUED)
--page break--
TARGET: JIMMY OLSEN! Blake & Jackson 2/22/95 57.
71 CONTINUED: 71
DAN
I know. Kent. We've been down
this road before.
(and then)
Lois, I know this is difficult for
you. And I wouldn't push it if I
didn't think we might have
something.
LOIS
I know, I know...
DAN
Look, if you and Kent are supposed
to be, we'll know it and we'll walk
away friends. But if _we're_
supposed to be...
Lois eyes him a beat, then takes a deep breath.
72 ANOTHER ANGLE - AT CLARK'S DESK 72
Clark sits at his desk, arms folded. Lois approaches.
There's an uncomfortable beat, then...
LOIS
Clark...
CLARK
You're going to go out with
Scardino, aren't you?
There's an uncomfortable beat.
CLARK (CONT'D)
Look, if that's what you want to
do, do it.
LOIS
(beat, then)
Clark... you know me. I could
never live with a 'what if' hanging
over my head.
(and then)
I think I owe it to myself and our
relationship to find out.
Clark and she share a long look, then...
CLARK
Okay.
She nods, heads back towards Scardino.
--page break--
TARGET: JIMMY OLSEN! Blake & Jackson 2/22/95 58.
73 ON CLARK - INCLUDING HIS POV 73
He watches her return to the coffee area, where Scardino
greets her. As they talk...
74 ANOTHER ANGLE 74
The staffer passes Clark's desk, sees him watching Dan and
Lois.
STAFFER
Boy, that guy's sure got a way with
women.
And as he walks off...
CLARK
(to himself)
Yeah. And he just got away with
mine.
