Grâce à une psychothérapeut, Superman apprend les effets de la kryptonite rouge. L'effet sur lui est qu'il devient indifférent à tout ce qui l'entoure. Maintenant qu'il a ses éléments, il peut combattre InterGang qui est dirigée maintenant par le fils de Church qui lui se sert de la fameuse kryptonite rouge.
InterGang réussit à voler des chèques salariaux et ils enlèvent aussi Perry mais Superman décide de secourir Perry et il est libéré.
Le Daily Planet est en danger car Stern veut le vendre à InterGang et comme Perry est absent, c'est Jimmy qui s'en occupe.
Loïs ne veut plus parler à Clark de leur rendez-vous, elle veut maintenant sortir avec Dan mais il lui avoue ses sentiments et elle est très émue. Elle accepte de souper avec lui.

_TEASER_
FADE IN:
1 EXT. WOODS - NIGHT #1 1
Wisps of fog dot the ground. Ten silent and determined men (X)
search the earth, the beams of their flashlights strange
glowing pillars that seem to spring from nothingness. Half
the men guide hi-tech metal detectors over the dirt; they're
led by GENE NEWTRICH, 50. He has the look of a man who's
spent his life outdoors. Suddenly, Gene's detector gives a
BEEP. He makes a hand signal and all the others congregate
around. He's handed a shovel and begins to dig Hard.
Fast. Precise. There's a CLUNK as the shovel strikes
something. Gene drops to his knees. His gloved hands probe
the soil, grasp the object and pull it up. A GLOWING RED
ROCK, the size of an orange, illuminates his face. Gene
looks at the rock in wonder.

2 INT. BILL CHURCH, JR.'S BASEMENT OFFICE - DAY #2 2
BILL CHURCH, JR., 32, is on the phone pacing. He's pissed (X)
off. A copy of today's Daily Planet lies on his desk. A (X)
picture of Bill Church, Sr. is on a credenza behind him. (X)

Of course I'm upset. No, it's (X)

How's your golf score? (X)

BILL, JR.
One of these days I'm going to get
you, Perry. Then we'll see who's
smiling.
There's a knock on the door.
BILL, JR. (CONT'D)
Come.
Gene Newtrich enters, carrying a small box. He's dressed in
clean khakis and a flannel shirt which contrasts with Bill, (X)
Jr's elegant suit. Bill, Jr. spots the box.
BILL, JR. (CONT'D)
This better be good, I'm in a bad (X)
mood. But don't feel pressured. (X)
GENE
Um, as you know, Mr. Church, over a
year ago your father commissioned
my team to try and find some
Kryptonite. Using the data we've
recovered from Bureau 39, we knew
approximately where Superman's
spaceship crashed. Last night, we
found this...
Gene opens the box. Bill, Jr. looks in fascination at the
glowing red rock.
GENE (CONT'D)
... twelve-point-seven kilometers
from the ship's estimated point of
impact. As far as I can tell from
my experiments, what you're looking
at is... Kryptonite.
BILL, JR.
Kryptonite? I thought it was
green. This is red. Is there a
difference? What can it do? Can (X)
it kill Superman?
GENE
I don't know. All I _do_ know is:
its atomic weight and structure are
slightly different from green
kryptonite, but its radiation is in
the same part of the spectrum.

So, what we need is a field test.
Of course, that means we have to
send someone expendable. Someone
we at Intergang won't miss if they
wind up in jail.

How 'bout you, Gene?
GENE

My pleasure, Mr. Church.

5 EXT. METROPOLIS STREET - DAY 5
LOIS and CLARK walk to work together, sipping cappucinos, a
slightly awkward air between them. A van marked "SPEEDY
PAYROLLS" passes and parks in front of the Daily Planet.
Clark finally asks the question he s been dying to ask. (X)
CLARK
So, how was your ice cream date
with Agent Scardino?
LOIS
(avoiding him)
Now there's my favorite sight in
the whole world: the truck that
delivers our payroll checks.
CLARK
Okay, if you don't want to talk (X)
about it, I understand. (X)
LOIS
It was... okay. I had chocolate, (X)
he ordered Rocky Road. (X)
CLARK
And you talked about ... ? (X)
LOIS
Things. (X)
(quickly)
Lots of things. And at least he (X)
stuck around long enough to have a (X)
conversation, unlike some people I (X)
know who are always running off! (X)

PAYROLL GUARD (V.O.)
Help! Police!
Clark and Lois look to see three armed and HOODED MEN (one
of whom is Gene), attacking the PAYROLL GUARD as he unloads
a large box of checks from his van. A Chevy Suburban with
blacked out windows idles next to it.
CLARK
I'll call the cops!
Clark dashes away. (X)
LOIS
(to herself) (X)
Unbelievable. (X)
(to anybody who'll
listen)
Hey! Help! They're robbing that
truck!
One Hooded Man holds down the Guard as the other two load (X)
boxes of checks into the Suburban. Whoosh! Her hair gets
blown as SUPERMAN appears next to her.
SUPERMAN
Don't worry, Lois, they'll be in
jail before you can say
'cappucino'.
He runs out of frame in a BLUR.
6 ANGLE ON HOODED MEN 6
Whoosh! Superman arrives. They turn in surprise.
SUPERMAN
I'm afraid you'll have to take a
raincheck on those checks, boys.
GENE (HOODED)
(nervous)
Really? What if we don't want to?
With one hand low to his side, he makes a signal. Inside
the back of the Suburban, behind Superman, ANOTHER HOODED
THUG, opens a box, exposing the red Kryptonite.

suddenly blinks. His face changes from firm justice to
almost casual.

LOIS
Superman, you let them get away!
SUPERMAN
No big deal, Lois. Most criminals
are repeat offenders. I'll
probably catch then again later.
LOIS
What?!
SUPERMAN
And if I don't, well... 'que sera,

He gently FLOATS up into the air, then ZOOMS out of sight.

FADE IN:
8 INT. PLANET - DAY 8
The elevator doors open and Lois and Clark emerge. Lois is
practically buzzing.
LOIS
Clark, I mean, I keep thinking I'm
going to wake up and see Patrick
Duffy in the shower and this will
all have been a dream. He just let
them drive right off!
Clark is still a bit apathetic due to the lingering effects
of red Kryptonite. He's NOT lethargic, he just doesn't care
about the robbery.
CLARK
Lois, you know there is such a
thing as individual responsibility.
LOIS
What's that mean?
CLARK
The payroll company is responsible
for the safety of the checks, not
Superman. Let them take care of (X)
it.
LOIS
What about the responsibility of
the individual to the society as a
whole? The social contract that
obligates one person to help others
for the betterment of everyone?
CLARK
If that's what you feel like,
great. Otherwise, I say, kick
back. Enjoy. Do your own thing.
They arrive at Lois' desk. Clark snags a donut and a bear
claw from a passing INTERN carrying a box of donuts, etc.
LOIS
Are you serious?
CLARK
As a bear claw. Or would you
prefer jelly filled?

9 INT. BILL CHURCH, JR.'S BASEMENT OFFICE - DAY 9
Bill, Jr. is on the phone. Gene loads a video tape of the (X)
paycheck robbery. The POINT OF VIEW indicates it was taken (X)
from a second floor window across the street. (X)
BILL, JR.
(slightly exasperated) (X)
No, Dad, I don't know what's in (X)
poi, but it's okay to eat it. (X)
What? Yes, I _haven't_ forgotten (X)
about Operation Nirvana. Okay. (X)
Okay. Don't hula too hard. (X)
Aloha. (X)
Bill, Jr. turns a long suffering eye to Gene, who's
pointing at the playback of the tape on the screen.
GENE
This is where Superman comes in! I
talk to him, and then --
Gene suddenly freezes the picture.
GENE (CONT'D)
There! That's when we opened the
box. When he got within about ten
feet, his mood changed. Suddenly,
it was like he didn't care.
Bill, Jr. stares at the screen in amazement for a moment,
then bursts out laughing.
BILL, JR.
This is better than killing him!
He just doesn't care!
(chuckles)
That was the problem with green
Kryptonite; it always ticked him
off. But this, this is perfect;
(thinking aloud) (X)
For Operation Nirvana to succeed, (X)
it's essential we control the (X)
media, and _that_ means The Daily (X)
Planet. And if... (X)
Bill, Jr. picks up the copy of The Daily Planet we saw in
the Teaser.

And Perry White's pal Superman (X)
won't be able to do a thing about
it. Yes!
He pounds his desk in glee and sits on the corner.
CUT TO:
10 INT. PLANET BULLPEN - DAY 10
CLOSEUP on Clark at his desk; he leans back in his chair,
lost in thought, a slight frown wrinkling his face. He is
slowly coming out of his apathy. Someone stands behind him.
JIMMY
C.K., here are the photos you need (X)
for the Quine project.
CLARK
(turns, takes photos) (X)
Huh? Oh. Sorry. I was just (X)
wondering about why Superman let
those crooks get away.
JIMMY
Was that wild or what? I mean,
what was he thinking?
CLARK
(worried)
I don't know. I -- He just didn't (X)
seem to... care.
JIMMY
Man, those are the luckiest crooks
in Metropolis.
CLARK
(completely back to old
self; determined)
Not for long...
As he speaks, Clark suddenly spots a DELIVERY GUY exiting (X)
the elevators with a large arrangement of tulips. He (X)
stands, an even more determined look on his face. His eyes
never leave the Delivery Guy as he heads towards Lois. (X)

anything. Excuse me.
Clark crosses to Lois's desk just as the Delivery Guy
arrives.
DELIVERY GUY
Sign here, please.
Lois does.
CLARK
Don't tell me, Agent Scardino's on
a stakeout in a florist's shop.
LOIS
Jealousy is so unbecoming, don't
you think?
CLARK
I wouldn't exactly call it
jealousy, but... maybe we could
discuss it Saturday night? Say...
over dinner and _after_ a show? (X)
LOIS
Clark... I have plans Saturday
night.
Clark glances at the flowers, then back to Lois.
CLARK
Lois, I know I sometimes seem be
dart away just when things start to
get serious, but now I feel like
you're the one who's backing off.
Lois doesn't know what to say, so she avoids answering by
plucking the note that's nestled amidst the flowers.
LOIS
Oh, look, a note.
(opens it and reads)
'Dear Lois. Sorry, but I need to
reschedule lunch; I have to go out
of town. Should be back by
Saturday. Can't wait. Yours in
tulips, Dan.'
Lois is bummed by this news.

Maybe subconsciously Agent Scardino
has finally realized he's no good
for you and is avoiding you.
LOIS
Was that a joke?
CLARK
Kind of. But seriously, maybe you (X)
and I are both a little afraid of
the same thing... of being (X)
completely intimate. (X)
LOIS
(avoiding again)
Thank you, Dr. Freud.
(shifting gears)
Maybe you could turn your powers of
analysis to the robbery. Anything
from the cops, yet?
CLARK
Nothing.
LOIS
I wonder how Mr. Stern's taking it?
Through the windows to PERRY's office, they can see him on
the phone, pacing agitatedly.
CLARK
Judging by the way Perry's pacing,
I'd say 'Not good'.
11 INT. PERRY'S OFFICE - DAY 11
Perry's still on the phone.
PERRY
(trying to get a word
in; in a rush)
Whoa-whoa-whoa. Now Franklin, I
disagree! The Planet is harder
hitting than it's ever been. We're
the last bastion of truth in
Metropolis. We're the lead man in
the fight for justice!
Perry spots Clark and Lois hovering outside his door. He
waves for them to come in as he continues to speak.

Have I lost my edge? (X)
LOIS
No. Why do you say that? (X)
PERRY
Oh, no reason. (X)
CLARK
So what'd Mr. Stern say?
PERRY
He's got an offer and he's thinking
about selling The Planet to
Multiworld Communications.
LOIS
NO! He can't sell it to Intergang!
PERRY
Now, Lois, we've never had any
proof that Intergang runs
Multiworld Communications.
LOIS
Everybody on the street knows it!
Bill Church ran Intergang, and now
that he's retired, his son does!
PERRY
Whoa whoa whoa. Put a brake on
that wagon. I know you've been
working on that story since
November, but you're talking about
Bill, Jr. I've known him since he
was old enough to throw up on me!

I talked him out of it...
LOIS
Great!
PERRY

Seventy-two hours?!

It'll take us that long just to

Hey you want to swim with the

Now, I suggest we adjourn for lunch

The elevator opens. Clark's smile is interrupted by...
PERRY (V.O.)
Get the hell away from me!
Clark and Lois spin to see the Three Hooded Men again,
dragging a struggling Perry from Perry's Lincoln Mark VIII
towards a van. Lois spins to look at Clark.
LOIS

But the doors to the elevator have just closed. Clark is
gone.
PERRY
Let go! Let go of my arms!
They struggle for a second longer and Perry manages to rip
the hood off one of his assailants. It's Gene.

She tries to pull the thugs off. For a moment, the struggle
gets complicated, but they finally shove her away. Lois
stumbles to the ground next to Superman. The doors slam and

Perry wrenches his arms free and tries to regain a semblance

As Lois speaks, Clark looks up and doesn't see the contents
of the drawer.
46 CLOSE ON RED KRYPTONITE 46
in the bottom of the drawer, giving off a tiny eerie GLOW in
the darkened office.
47 BACK TO SCENE 47
CLARK
(looking at Lois)
You're probably right, but then
again, why should we care?
Clark slams the drawer shut without looking inside it as
Lois reacts.
LOIS
Uh oh. Is Mr. Hyde back again?
CLARK
We're wasting time here.
(beat)
If we hurry we can still catch a
nine o'clock show at the
multiplex.
Lois shakes her head, then suddenly her face lights up.
LOIS
These are the plans for the
substructure of Costmart.
CLARK
That's nice. (X)
LOIS
Newtrich has worked for Costmart,
and Costmart is run by Bill Church,
Jr., which means Newtritch could be
part of Intergang.
Just then, they hear the rumbling of a janitor's cart (X)
coming down the hallway. Lois folds up the blueprints and
stuffs them under her jacket.
LOIS
What are we going to do?

CLARK
Get caught in the act, I guess.
They hear the sound of the key pad activated and the door (X)
handle begins to turn. Lois grabs Clark and pulls him into
a dark corner behind the door.
The office door opens and a JANITOR enters. He is wearing a
set of headphones and the sound of muffled rock music leaks
into the office. As he moves to the garbage can, Lois and
Clark slip out from behind the door and into the hallway.
48 INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT 48
Lois hurries down the hall and Clark lags a few steps
behind.
LOIS
Come one. We've got to get out of
here.
CLARK
(smiling)
Great. We've still got time for
that movie.
Lois shoots Clark a lethal glance as they exit.

Jimmy is walking through the newsroom when he hears...
WALLY (O.S.)
Olsen!
Jimmy turns to see Wally headed in his direction. Jimmy
starts to sweat.
WALLY (CONT'D)
I'm meeting with the eyewitness
tonight.
Perry's line rings and Jimmy answers it. Wally glares.
JIMMY

Mr. White's office.
(beat)
Hello, Mr. Stern. Perry's not in
right now.
(beat)
Where is he? I think he's getting
a haircut.
WALLY
I thought you said he was at some

JIMMY
(to Wally)
I talked to him this morning, (X)
Wally. He was going to get his
hair cut... at the retreat. I
guess they've got a great barber
there and...
A loud voice booms through the phone. Jimmy brings the
receiver back to his mouth.
JIMMY (CONT'D)
(into phone)
Yes, Mr. Stern. As soon as he gets
in.
Jimmy hangs up.
WALLY
I need an answer now! I've already

Perry said that until you speak to

WALLY
Damn!
Wally throws up his hands and storms away. As he does,
Jimmy collapses into a chair.
JIMMY
At least, that's what he would've
said... I hope...

50 INT. SUITE - MORNING 50
Perry is wiring the cord from one lamp onto the cord of (X)
another lamp and _that_ lamp's cord goes to the lamp by (X)
the wall switch we saw in scene 29. Basically, he's wiring (X)
all the light sources in the room together so they work (X)

51 INT. DR. FRISKIN'S OFFICE - MORNING 51
Superman is lying on the couch and Dr. Friskin is sitting
across from him.
SUPERMAN
... but I love being Superman.
Fighting crime, helping people...
it's what I live for... or at
least, used to live for. Now I
don't know... it's all so
_frustrating_.
Superman begins to FLOAT off the sofa, hovering above it.
DR. FRISKIN
That's good. Can you stay with
that emotion?

SUPERMAN (CONT'D)
I'm frustrated because every time (X)
I try to talk to her I have to (X)
dash off and rescue somebody! I'm (X)
frustrated because I'm the (X)
strongest man in the world and (X)
everything seems to be spiralling
out of my control and that makes (X)
me mad! (X)
Superman suddenly erupts it total frustration and anger. (X)
He lashes out, kicking over the couch and SLAMMING his fist (X)
through the wall.
52 INT. DR. FRISKIN'S WAITING ROOM - CONTINUOUS 52
An older couple reacts as the wall across from them EXPLODES
into fragments.
OLDER WOMAN
You see, Bob? He's in touch with
his feelings.
OLDER MAN
(taken aback)
Who recommended this shrink?
53 BACK TO SUPERMAN 53
who turns away from the hole in the wall with great
embarrassment.
SUPERMAN
I'm sorry, doctor. I didn't
mean...
DR. FRISKIN
(smiling)
That's okay. I would've gone with
the primal scream, though. (X)
Superman looks down and sees a large chunk of glowing red
rock on the floor where the couch used to be.
SUPERMAN
What's that?
DR. FRISKIN
I have no idea.
Superman X-RAYS the rock and reacts.

SUPERMAN
It's got all the properties of
Kryptonite, but it's red!
Superman immediately confronts Dr. Friskin, nose to nose.
She leans backwards to get some space.
SUPERMAN (CONT'D)
Did you plant this here?
DR. FRISKIN
(stunned; confused)
I have no idea how it got here. I
don't even understand what this is
all about.
SUPERMAN
Oh, really?
Superman picks up the red Kryptonite and holds it in his
hand. Suddenly, his anger leaves him.
SUPERMAN (CONT'D)
On second thought, maybe it doesn't
matter.
He lowers Friskin.
DR. FRISKIN
(realizing)
That rock seems to have a calming
influence on you.
Superman looks at the Kryptonite in his hand then suddenly
throws it at the window. It CRASHES through the window and
flies out into the sky.
SUPERMAN
Sorry about the window.
DR. FRISKIN
Would you like to talk about what
just happened?
SUPERMAN
Well, it's not exactly easy to (X)
explain, but when the planet (X)
Krypton blew up, meteors from the
planet crashed into Earth. Green
Kryptonite can kill me, but I've
never seen this red variety before.

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY (#20) Blue Blue R. 3/23/95 45.
53 CONTINUED: 2 53
DR. FRISKIN
If green Kryptonite affects you
physically, it's possible red
Kryptonite could be affecting
you mentally. If I had to guess,
I'd say that it unleashed the deep
feelings you've been harboring.
SUPERMAN
Does that mean I really am tired
of being Superman?
DR. FRISKIN
It just means you're finally
feeling the frustration of trying
to be perfect for all these years.
Even a super hero has the right to
be resentful once in a while.
After all, you're only human.
SUPERMAN
Well, almost. But what if I run
into Red Kryptonite again? I
mean, whoever put this here might
have more.
DR. FRISKIN
To be honest. I don't know. This
'Red Kryptonite' seems to let you
feel emotions you normally aren't
aware of.
SUPERMAN
(speculating)
But now that I am aware of them,
it's up to me to deal with how
I react to them.
DR. FRISKIN
Exactly. Now that you're aware of
how it can make you feel, maybe
you can do something about it.
But it could be a struggle.
SUPERMAN
That's all part of being superman.
DR. FRISKIN
(warm smile)
Of _any_ man.
SUPERMAN
Thanks for all the help, Dr.
Friskin. I'll make sure you get
paid for everything.

56 INT. SUITE - DAY 56
Perry has moved a halogen floor lamp from one corner of the
room to a point near the wall opposite the front door. He
is doing something mysterious to the bulb; but _we can't_
see what it is exactly. Suddenly, he hears FOOTSTEPS
outside the door. He quickly plugs in the halogen and then
turns, trying to look nonchalant.
A GUARD dressed in conservative grey suit enters, carrying a
covered tray.
GUARD
Lunch time.

Perry casually moves his hand up to the light switch on the
wall. The guard pulls the cover off the tray and begins (X)
setting out the food.
GUARD (CONT'D)
Caviar, smoked salmon, and a petite
fillet.
PERRY
A man could get used to this.
GUARD
Mr. Church has his own chef.
Perry leans against the wall, his elbow near the switch. (X)
The guard turns and smiles at Perry.
GUARD (CONT'D)
Bon appetite.
As the guard heads away, Perry hits the switch, plunging the
room into _total_ _darkness_.
GUARD (CONT'D)
Hey! (X)
Then there's a huge FLASH of light (like a strobe). The (X)
light catches the guard by surprise, blinding him as he (X)
reaches for his gun. The FLASH is from Perry's doctored (X)
halogen lamp. The brief flash also shows Perry pointing (X)
the halogen at the guard like a giant flashlight. After (X)
the strobe, all returns to BLACK and we HEAR thuds and (X)
grunts as Perry knocks the guard out. (Maybe even a BONK! (X)
from hitting the guard with the metal tray cover.) A (X)
second later, Perry turns on all the other lamps. (X)
PERRY
Buenas noches, amigo. (X)
The guard moans as Perry yanks the lamp cord out of the wall
and starts tying him up.
CUT TO:
57 INT. DAILY PLANET - DAY 57
Lois studies the blueprints from Newtrich's office, which

some help by taking a look at
these.
Clark moves over to look at the blueprints.
58 INTERCUT WITH INT. COSTMART - BASEMENT 58
Perry quietly moves down a hallway. He hears VOICES and
opens a nearby door and ducks in, shutting the door behind
him.
59 INT. CHURCH'S OFFICE 59
Perry turns around and realizes he's in Bill Church, Jr.'s
office. Perry quickly moves to the desk and starts looking
through Church's things.
60 INT. DAILY PLANET 60
Clark and Lois are pouring over the blueprints.
CLARK
This might be something. There are
two full basements in these plans.
LOIS
So? They need a lot of room for
excess merchandise.
CLARK
The loading docks back up to huge
doors on the first level basement.
But, the second level is only
reached by one small passenger
elevator.
LOIS
Which means they don't use the
sub-basement for storage. What do
you think is down there?
The phone rings. Lois grabs it.
LOIS (CONT'D)

Lois Lane.

LOIS
(reacting)
Perry?
(to Clark)
It's Perry!

Are you alright?
PERRY
I'm fine. Listen, I'm being held
by Billy Church. He's the head of
the whole Intergang operation.
LOIS
(ecstatic)
I knew it! I knew it!
(to Clark)
Church is the head of Intergang.
He's holding Perry prisoner!

That's great, Lois. Ask him where

Oh.

64 INT. BILL CHURCH, JR.'S BASEMENT OFFICE - DAY 64
Perry is still at Church's desk. Bill stands across from
him, his gun trained at Perry.
BILL, JR.
You disappoint me, Perry. Why did
you have to go snooping around?
PERRY
Old reporter's instinct, I guess.
BILL, JR.
Too bad that doesn't include an
instinct for survival.
Off Church's smile.
DISSOLVE TO:
64A INT. COSTMART BASEMENT - FIRST LEVEL 64A
Lois and Clark stand at the elevator, trying to figure out a
way to activate it. There is a black control panel with a
key card slot but no buttons. Lois points to two sensors on
either side of the elevator.
LOIS
Did you bring along your 'Mission
Impossible' tool box?
Clark reaches into his pocket and pulls out a paperclip.
CLARK
I'm travelling a little light
today.
Lois grabs the paperclip. She quickly unbends it and uses
it to start fiddling with the control panel. As she does,
Clark tips down his glasses and X-RAYS the wall above the (X)
panel. He follows the wiring from the panel up and over to (X)
one side and then lets loose with a BLAST of PINPOINT HEAT (X)
VISION, shorting the electronic alarm system. In a moment, (X)
the elevator doors open and Lois turns around with a
triumphant smile.

You go left; I'll go right. Be

Lois nods. They move off in different directions.
66 INT. BILL CHURCH, JR.'S BASEMENT OFFICE - DAY 66
CLOSE ON Church as he finishes erasing the data on his
computer.
BILL, JR.
There. The computers are wiped
clean as a newborn. Now if we have
any 'unpleasant' visits from the (X)
authorities, there'll be nothing (X)
for them to find about Intergang. (X)
PULL BACK to see that the guard has his gun aimed at Perry.
Gene stands nearby, with a square, lead box under his arm.
BILL, JR. (CONT'D)
... and by this time tomorrow, (X)
Multiworld Communications will own
the Daily Planet.

How far is that landfill site?
GENE
Half hour outside of town.

Lois.

Miss Lane, your timing couldn't

(to Gene)
Is there room for two in that
landfill?
SUPERMAN (O.S.)
I think we'll skip the tour of the
landfill, Church.
68 ANGLE TO INCLUDE SUPERMAN 68
who is standing in the hallway.
BILL, JR.
(smiling)
Superman. So nice to see you.
This little situation is really no
concern of yours.
Church motions to Gene, who opens the box and exposes the (X)
shining red Kryptonite. Church smiles as Superman takes a
slight step backwards.
PERRY
Fight it, Superman. Don't give in.
LOIS
Give in to what? What's going on?
BILL, JR.
Alright now, Superman. Time to be
on your way.
SUPERMAN
Maybe it is... but then again...
maybe it's not, _Billy_. (X)
Superman walks over to Gene and grabs the Kryptonite out of (X)
the box. He casually tosses it up and down while Billy and (X)
his boys realize they are in deep trouble. Suddenly, (X)
Superman throws the Kryptonite down the corridor, where it (X)
SMASHES through the wall at the end of the hall, and buries (X)
itself deep in the earth beyond. (X)
Perry takes advantage of the distraction by elbowing the
guard in the chest and follows up by punching him in the
face, sending the guard sprawling.

Gene turns to run, but Lois grabs him by the arm and spins
him around. She uses her martial arts to take Gene out,
finishing him off with a high kick to the side of his head.
Church suddenly grabs Lois around the throat and places a
gun to her back. (X)
BILL, JR.
Nobody get excited and Miss Lane
may live to see another sunset.
Suddenly, Bill Jr's portable phone RINGS. Nobody moves. (X)
Frustrated, he digs it out of a pocket and answers. (X)
BILL, JR. (CONT'D)
Hello? Hi, Dad, um, can I call (X)
you back later? I'm in the middle (X)
of something. You shot a (X)
seventy-three? Um, great. Bye. (X)
LOIS
(pleading)
Superman?
Church cocks the gun.
BILL, JR.
Don't move, Superman. This gun has
a very delicate trigger mechanism.
I wouldn't want it to accidentally
go off. Just stay right there. (X)
Suddenly, Superman goes into HYPERSPEED and one second later
he is standing behind Church.
SUPERMAN
How about here?
Before Church can react, Superman yanks the gun from his
hand and crushes it into a metallic ball. He grabs Church
by the neck and lifts him off the ground.
SUPERMAN (CONT'D)
Lois, why don't you call the police
while I keep Mr. Church and his
friends entertained.

It's great to be back.

69 INT. DAILY PLANET - NEXT MORNING - DAY #5 69
Lois and Clark walk through the newsroom on their way to
Perry's office.
LOIS
So the red Kryptonite made Superman
completely apathetic and his
attitude wore off on you?
CLARK
Actually, I was trying to put
myself in Superman's shoes to get a
better understanding of what he was
going through.
LOIS
Well, you did a great job.
They enter Perry's office. (X)
70 INT. DAILY PLANET - PERRY'S OFFICE 70
Perry is talking to Jimmy.
The newspaper on Perry's desk features a banner headline
which reads: "BILLIONAIRE CHURCH REVEALED AS HEAD OF
INTERGANG." Beneath it is a long story, written by Perry
White.
PERRY
I was just telling Jimmy how I took
out Church's thug with an old
karate move. You know, Elvis was
into karate.
LOIS
It was impressive.
CLARK
Almost as impressive as your story,
Chief.
PERRY
I haven't had a byline for
seventeen years. It's nice to know
I've still got the stuff.
LOIS
It's also nice to know that Mr.
Stern is not selling the paper.

the story, the Mayor would've sued
our butts off.
JIMMY
I just did what you always taught
me, Chief. I went with my gut.
PERRY
I only have one question, son.
Perry pulls out the newspaper from his office with the
circled ad.
PERRY (CONT'D)
What's this 'Ask Zina?'
LOIS
Isn't she that person who has a 900

Everyone looks at Jimmy. He immediately deflates.

70A INT. NEWSROOM - CONTINUOUS 70A
Lois and Clark leave the office and cross over to Lois'
desk, where she has a message. She reads it and she sags a
little.
CLARK
Bad news?
LOIS
Dan called. He's not going to be
back in town until Monday.
CLARK
(brightens)
Which means you're free tonight, so
we can go out.
LOIS
Hold on. These two situations are
mutually exclusive. Dan's
availability, or lack thereof, has
nothing to do with _our_
relationship, and your continual
disappearing act.
CLARK
Lois, I'm not gonna try and stop
you from going out with Dan; that's
your choice. But, I've given this
a lot of thought and I realize that
instead of dancing around my
feelings for you, I have to deal
with them head on and verbalize my
emotions... and your going out with
Dan _does_ upset me.
LOIS
Clark, I don't know what to say.
CLARK
Say you'll go out with me tonight
and I swear I won't suddenly
disappear.
Lois equivocates for a moment, then relents.
LOIS
Alright. You can pick me up at
seven; and I promise I won't
disappear on you either. But you (X)
better be there at seven (X)
(increasing sexiness) (X)
And seven-oh-one. Seven-oh-two. (X)
Seven-oh-three. And (X)
seven-oh-four. And seven-oh... (X)
And as Lois continues to talk and the heat between them (X)
