1 EXT. METROPOLIS PARK - IN TREES NEAR WISHING WELL - DAY #1 1
A familiar, gleaming red chunk of rock is held up to the sun
by LUCILLE NEWTRICH, a sassy, sexy woman of presence and
determination.
LUCILLE
Ready?
NELL NEWTRICH, her serious and brainy little sis, checks a
futuristic looking video camera, almost gun-like in
appearance. It is a laser.
NELL
Ready.
Lucille gives Nell the rock. Nell, hands shaking nervously,
drops it. Lucille glares.
NELL (CONT'D)
Sorry.
Nell opens the breach of the laser and fumbles the Kryptonite
into it.
LUCILLE
I thought you said I could count on
you.
NELL
You can.
Nell snaps the breach shut -- on her thumb -- which causes
her to drop the laser, but Lucille, expecting this, grabs
the laser before it hits the ground. Then grabs Nell by the
collar.
LUCILLE
Tell me this is going to work.
NELL
It's going to work.
LUCILLE
Tell me why.

We're Newtriches.
LUCILLE
Which means... ?
NELL
(by rote)
... we live by our own code, go our
own way and don't take any crap
from anybody.
LUCILLE
And ... ?
NELL
We have a Red Kryptonite laser.
LUCILLE
Which will ... ?
NELL
Make Superman permanently
apathetic.
LUCILLE
So we ... ?
NELL
... can be rich beyond our wildest
dreams, spend money like wild
baboons and get back at every creep
who was mean to us in high school.
LUCILLE
Mean to _you_, I...
NELL
... was very popular and
well-liked. Sorry, I always mess
up that part.
2 INT. DAILY PLANET - DAY 2
It is literally minutes after the final scene of Episode 6.
CLARK is still at his desk, contemplating the ring. He
snaps the case shut, determined, and steals a glance at
LOIS, just heading back to her desk, away from the
celebratory hoopla. He moves to her.
CLARK
How about dinner tonight?

Sure. As long as it's not Chinese.
We're kind of in a rut lately, and
I've had my life's quota of soy
sauce.
CLARK
Well, I wouldn't take you all the
way to Paris for egg rolls.
LOIS
... Paris?
PERRY crosses as JIMMY races in.
JIMMY
Chief, there's a kid trapped in the
wishing well at Metropolis Park!
PERRY
Lois, Clark --
LOIS
On it.
As she packs her purse, Lois sees Clark go to his desk and
slip the ring box back in. She pretends not to notice.
JIMMY
(to Perry)
Your wife called.
PERRY
Call her back for me, willya? Tell
her it's lookin' like another late
one.
Clark, looking back over his shoulder to make sure Perry's
not watching --
CLARK

tie)
See you there.

Lois makes her way through the crowd, passing FIREMEN and (X)
COPS and, among the cluster of T.V. REPORTERS are Lucille (X)
and Nell -- Lucille appearing to be a coiffed correspondent (X)
with a mike, Nell the grungy camera-tech, holding the laser (X)

LOIS
Superman, is he all right?
SUPERMAN
Fine...
He shows Lois that the baby is a DOLL -- and the cry is a
tape recorder in its chest.
SUPERMAN (CONT'D)
... but his batteries are a little
run down.
LOIS
Oh, that is the sickest, most
disgusting --

LUCILLE
Fire.
5 ON SUPERMAN 5
as he sees a RED FLASH from somewhere in the crowd,
instinctively grabs Lois and pulls her into a protective
hug. The RED BEAM hits Superman's back in a BLINDING BURST.
A CRACKLING GLOW engulfs Lois and Superman.

The laser shorts out with a WHITE HOT SIZZLE. Nell SHRIEKS
and drops it as --

whirls, scanning the crowd -- barely glimpses Nell and
Lucille disappear into the trees -- then to his horror, sees
Lois start to faint. He catches her.

SUPERMAN
Are you all right?
LOIS
Just a little dizzy. What was
that?
SUPERMAN
Somebody shot us with a red beam.
LOIS
Well, go get 'em.
He turns and makes a skyward leap. Only he doesn't take
off. A FEW in the crowd note this.
LOIS (CONT'D)
What is it?
SUPERMAN
Um, I think I saw them go this way.
He gestures for Lois to follow him into the stand of trees. (X)

SUPERMAN
Do you feel... different?
LOIS
Uhhhh...
She studies the light-as-air gate in her grip. (X)
LOIS (CONT'D)
... yeah. Yeah, I'd say I feel
different.
SUPERMAN
Let's stay calm.
LOIS
Okay.
She tosses the gate away. It FLIES OUT OF FRAME and lands
seconds later with a giant O.S. CLANG.
LOIS (CONT'D)
Oh, God, what's happening?
SUPERMAN
I think we know what's happening.
The question is how? Let's go back
out there --

clues.

Right. Clues. Good. Clues I can

'I can handle it,' you said, 'I

time it's going to be different,'
you said.
She moves to a blackboard. on it, a map of a Metropolis
street corner has been sketched, along with arrows, cars,
stick figures and time codes.
LUCILLE (CONT'D)
It's me. _I'm_ the idiot. The
idiot who told you my plan,
believed you when you said you'd
make it foolproof, then went ahead
and invested every last cent in a
heist that's never going to happen!
She swipes the board with an eraser, taking out most of the
plan.
NELL
Are you through?
LUCILLE
We both are.
NELL
The beam hit him. I think it
worked.
LUCILLE
Really.
NELL
He didn't come after us, did he?
LUCILLE
Nell, just be grateful that I'm too
depressed to beat you to death.
NELL
In forty-eight hours, we either
have to move on that two hundred
million dollar shipment --
(points to the
blackboard)
-- or bail. I'd say with that kind
of payoff, it's a worth a little
test.
LUCILLE
What kind of test?
Nell just smiles and hits a button on the remote. At the (X)

CLARK
Okay, A-plus on the heat vision.
LOIS
I was aiming for the bottles.
They lie on the ground, intact.
CLARK
Well, you did a good job on the
boulders.
He indicates some SHATTERED ROCKS.

I was just trying to lift them.
Clark, I don't like this.

All of a sudden I'm scared of my

CLARK

I know, I know, it's okay.
LOIS
When do you think S.T.A.R. Labs'll
be able to tell us about that
laser?
CLARK
Well, it was pretty burned up...
LOIS
But it doesn't make any sense, Red
Kryptonite isn't supposed to do
this... it made you act a little
weird last time, but not this...
CLARK
Lois, I'm sure they'll figure it
out, just like I'm sure we'll track
down whoever did this.
LOIS
Well, why are you so calm? Don't

BLURS into its path. The grill hits her hand. The truck
PLOWS into her. Her shoes SMOKE as they're dragged

Oh, Superman. Thanks. Geez for a

Lois laughs at the ludicrousness of this. Superman joins
her.
23 MINUTES LATER - LOIS AND SUPERMAN 23
are walking back across the field to her jeep. Lois is
carrying her heel-less shoes.
LOIS
These shoes were eighty-five
dollars. Does the superheroes
union cover expenses?
SUPERMAN
No, but it does bring up an
interesting issue.
LOIS
Which is?
SUPERMAN
You're just not the kind of person
who can sit and watch someone in
trouble if you can help...
LOIS
Oh, I've got a bad feeling about
where this is going.
SUPERMAN

knowing it's Lois Lane stopping
trucks, so...

I think a mask'd be very sharp.
Jonathan hands her a cup of tea.
MARTHA
You want a cape?

Guys, can we slow down? Because I

MARTHA
So no cape? (X)
LOIS
No, I mean any of it. This -- (X)

He's putting on this brave face

alive... and if he sees me all red

to him?
JONATHAN
Lois, Clark is strong. And I'm not

I thought I had it working but it
just burned up again.
SUPERMAN
Do you know how it works?
SCIENTIST
Like any other laser, except all
its power seems to refract through
that chunk of Red Kryptonite in the
casing. What happened when the
beam hit you?
SUPERMAN

I felt a little dizzy and uhhh...

No lingering reactions?

Well, between you and me, I'm not

The FLAME races toward Superman. Thinking fast, he whips
the tarp off the top of the stack of water bottles, drops to
his knees with it, and uses it to wipe the kerosene. Then,
just as the FLAMES reach the tarp, he rolls out of the way.
The tarp is CONSUMED. The line of FLAME is slowed but not
stopped. Superman looks inside the Planet lobby and sees a
fire extinguisher on the wall. As he starts for it --
A BLAST OF SUPER-BREATH from above blows the FLAMING TARP
out.
Superman looks up as the Crowd 'ooooohs' at the sight of --

She lays it alongside today's shot of "Ultra Woman Saves

NELL
Let's say that MY Kryptonite laser
worked... but not in the way we
expected. Let's say it created an
unforeseen energy field... that

ultra-unique.
She taps the picture of Ultra Woman. Lucille looks at Nell.
LUCILLE
Tell me you were adopted. Because
if we actually share genes, I'll
jump in front of a bus.
NELL
Lucille. Superman didn't fly onto
the scene, he walked. He didn't
blow the flame out, he used a tarp.
I'm telling you, he's got all the

_she_ is proof that those powers

Sorry?

Not just yet, Chief.

It's Alice. She left him.

A post-accident scene. Banged up cars at an intersection.
The door ripped off one of them and lying in the street.
Ultra Woman tenderly setting an injured WOMAN on a medic's (X)

HUSBAND
Excuse me but did you have to tear

Insurance company?
HUSBAND
It's not coming out of my pocket,

ULTRA WOMAN
Look, I know you're upset --
HUSBAND
You tore up my car!
ULTRA WOMAN
Because your wife was choking. And
by the way, she's fine. I'm sure

It was two secretaries.

Anyway, your mother saved the day.
And it was hard for me to lie there

Clark walks. Then, from a nearby alley, he hears the SOUNDS
of a struggle.
43 IN THE ALLEY 43
TWO THUGS attack a SKINNY KID. ONE holds him down while the
SECOND THUG gets his wallet, opens it and --
THUG
Fourteen bucks? That's it?
The Thug draws his fist back. Clark catches it and whips
the Thug around.
CLARK
All his, so give it back.
The kid scrambles to a corner. The Thug knocks Clark's hand
off; he and his partner circle Clark menacingly.
THUG
I got a better idea. Gimme yours.
CLARK
Come get it.
They attack. But even without super-powers, Clark is nimble
and fierce. As he ducks Thug One's roundhouse, he
SPIN-KICKS Thug Two into the garbage, then pivots back
around... as Thug One whips out a gleaming knife.
THUG
You wanna get crazy? Huh?
He stabs at Clark and catches his sleeve. Clark winces in
pain and sees blood on his wrist. The Thug grins and
swipes. Clark dodges. The Thug circles, then lunges hard.
Clark sidesteps, catches his wrist and flips the punk onto
his back. Clark takes the knife away, straightens and --
Thug Two SMASHES Clark on the back of the head with a pipe.
Clark drops, stunned. Thug Two prepares to beat Clark to a
pulp... From behind, comes the SOUND of a gun being cocked.
LUCILLE (O.S.)
Back off, Junior.
Thugs One and Two look up to see Lucille with a gun, Nell at

The timer reads: 3:58 ... 3:57... 3:56...
Clark's wrists are bound behind the chair back and his
ankles are tied to the legs. Pressing his toes down, Clark
rocks his chair back quietly and looks out the half-open
door. Outside, he can glimpse Lucille and Nell in the
moonlight, pacing, murmuring. He rocks back a little
further and now we see he's trying to free his ankles of
their rope-bonds by sliding them down and over the end of
the chair legs.
The timer counts down: 3:40... 3:39... 3:38...
46 EXT. NEWTRICH GARAGE - NIGHT 46
Lucille slips the gun in her waistband and studies the night

Well. Another job well done.
Don't you ever get tired of

Deserted. Clark, arms still bound behind him, staggers up,

Ultra Woman sees the blackboard. It's mostly been erased.
She turns on the X-RAY BEAMS. Because the chalk lines are
broken up, it's still mostly illegible as she scans.
CLARK (CONT'D)
What do you see?
She zeroes in on the lower corner. There, a NUMBER wasn't
erased entirely. It was smeared over by a streak of chalk.
So by X-RAYING _beneath_ this streak she can read --
ULTRA WOMAN (CONT'D)
A number. 9117841... something,

65 EXT. S.T.A.R. LABS TESTING RANGE - DAY 65
The Scientist shows Superman the repaired laser device.
SUPERMAN
Thanks for the rush job.
SCIENTIST
But we haven't even tested it
properly. It could conk out or
even blow up.
The Scientist's cel phone BEEPS.
SUPERMAN
Well, one thing I've learned the
last couple days... just roll with
the punches.
SCIENTIST
(into phone)
Yes? He's right here.
(to Superman)
Lois Lane for you.
SUPERMAN
Hi... Uh-huh... Okay, give me the
route.
(to Scientist)
Do you have a pen?
66 EXT. DESERTED METROPOLIS STREET - DAY 66
An armored Postal Truck is stopped in the middle of a narrow
downtown side street. Its back door has been ripped off and
tossed half-a-block away. GUARDS and DRIVERS lie on the
pavement, semi-conscious and moaning.

"ULTRA WOMAN" (#7) O'Neill & Tobin 9/7/95 46.
67 IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK 67
Nell and Lucille, amid the stuffed bags of money.
LUCILLE
You like the way those bullets
bounced off my chest?
NELL
Watching you get shot was a real
pleasure, yes.
LUCILLE
(Smelling handfuls of
cash)
Ahhhh, this is the way crime ought
to be. Forget the gang of guys
with Uzis, the getaway chopper
just rip, punch and grab.
NELL
We're rich, we're rich...
LUCILLE
... we're happy misers!
They laugh.
ULTRA WOMAN (O.S.)
Oh, ladies, could I have a word?
68 EXT. DESERTED STREET - DAY 68
Lucille and Nell poke their heads out and see Ultra Woman
standing there..
LUCILLE
Ultra Woman? I believe you qualify
for protection under the Endangered
Species Act.
ULTRA WOMAN
You're the one up for early
extinction. See, I've still got
all my power.
Lucille levels a look at Nell.
LUCILLE
You make me so mad, my hair hurts.
NELL
She's lying.
ULTRA WOMAN
Let's just see.

"ULTRA WOMAN" (#7) Pink Rev. 9/12/95 47.
68 CONTINUED: 68
Lucille BLURS out of the back of the van and STOPS behind (X)
Ultra Woman. (X)
LUCILLE
Why do I think you're bluffing?
ULTRA WOMAN
(a tad nervous)
Well... I don't know.
LUCILLE
(advancing)
I see fear in your eyes.
ULTRA WOMAN
(backing up)
That's just... extreme modesty.
LUCILLE
Nell... let's do a little test.
Pick up that guard's gun there.
Nell gets out of the van and picks up the gun from fallen
guard.
LUCILLE (CONT'D)
You're familiar with the phrase,
faster than a speeding bullet?
She indicates that Nell should shoot Ultra Woman.
NELL
Lucille, I...
LUCILLE
She knows who we are, Nell. And
what we did. Now, there's not a
jail on Earth that can hold me but
you...
(shrugs)
... you'd be in an awful lot of
trouble if she talks to the police.
So-ooooo, if you're so sure your
little laser worked, finish the
job.
ULTRA WOMAN
Look, just come in quietly, I don't
want to hurt either of you...
LUCILLE
Really? I think little Nell feels
differently.

"ULTRA WOMAN" (#7) Pink Rev. 9/12/95 48.
68 CONTINUED: 2 68
Yes, she does. With a shaking hand, she aims the gun at
Ultra Woman. Squeezes the trigger and --
A cab pulls up and SCREECHES to a halt. Nell, Lucille and
Ultra Woman are all startled as the sight of Superman, who
leaps out with the laser. Lucille lets out a SUPER-BREATH
that knocks him back into the cab. The laser clatters to
the ground. He's dazed.
LUCILLE
(shakes head)
Dorks n tights. But which dork
dies first? My dear sister, I
leave it to you.
But Ultra Woman is already in motion, a garbage can lid in
her hand, which she flings across the street into Nell's
stomach, knocking her back.
Lucille starts to go for Lois but Superman grabs the
sideview mirror of the cab, flicks it and
THE SUN REFLECTS into Lucille's eyes.
LUCILLE
OW!
This gives Ultra Woman enough time to snatch the laser off
the ground. (X)
ULTRA WOMAN
Get her!
Superman grabs onto Lucille. She gets her hands on him. (X)
LUCILLE
Express Shuttle, now leaving Earth!
Lois readies and aims the laser as --
Nell sits up and sees Superman struggling against Lucille's
fierce grip.
NELL
Leave my sister alone!
Nell FIRES the gun. (X)
Lois pulls the trigger on the laser. (X)
The beam HITS and engulfs Lucille and Superman. (X)

bounces off Superman's "S."
Superman pries Lucille's hands off him. (X)
LUCILLE
No... no!
Lois grabs the gun from Nell. Lois and Superman meet in (X)
mid-street, she holding Nell, he holding Lucille.
ULTRA WOMAN
Well, not a bad note for Ultra
Woman to go out on.
SUPERMAN
Just one last thing...
He goes to the laser, picks it up and
SUPERMAN (CONT'D)
... if it's okay with you.
ULTRA WOMAN
If I could do it myself... I would.
-- smiling, he THROWS it into orbit.
NELL
(to Lucille)
Pray we don't end up in a cell
together.

75 INT. DAILY PLANET - NIGHT #3 75
Perry comes out of his office with the hard copy of Lois and
Clark's story: "THIEVES FOILED BY ULTRA-SUPER DUO."' He (X)
moves up to Lois, Clark and Jimmy.
PERRY
Fine stuff, kids. But we still
don't know... where'd this Ultra
Woman come from and are we ever
gonna see her again?
CLARK
(looks at Lois)
Well...
LOIS
She was a very close friend of
Superman's... and neither one's
saying much more.
PERRY
That's super-heroes for you
mighty cryptic. Let's slap this on
the front page and head home.
LOIS
Does this mean you won't be
sleeping here?
PERRY
Alice is staying with a friend.
I'll be moving out at the end of
the month.
CLARK
Chief, I'm really sorry.
PERRY
Well, the fact is, I've lived and (X)
breathed the Planet for thirty (X)
years... it's always my first (X)
thought in the morning and my last (X)
thought at night. And Alice said (X)
no matter how much I promise to (X)
change, it always _will_ be. She (X)
said she's got a right to play (X)
first fiddle with somebody... and (X)
I can't disagree. (X)
(beat)
I thank you all for your concern
and understanding that my fuse has (X)
been a little short lately.
(as everyone is about to
politely disagree)
Now, let's hit it, we got a paper
to print!

75 CONTINUED: 75
LOIS
Jimmy? I talked to Ultra Woman
before she flew off. She asked me
to give you a message.
JIMMY
Yeah?
LOIS
'You're cute.'
JIMMY
She said that?
LOIS
Her exact words.
JIMMY
(in heaven, walking off)
Man. I'm cute. All right.
Lois moves to Clark's desk and surreptitiously opens his top
drawer, reaches in and
76 EXT. METROPOLIS PARK - THE FOUNTAIN - NIGHT 76
Lois and Clark walk, hand in hand. (X)
LOIS
You know, if somebody asked me
three days ago, 'Who's the one
person in the world you really
admire?' I'd've said you. (X)
Without really knowing what that (X)
meant.
(off his confused look)
Without understanding that the (X)
hardest thing about _being_ you is
all the things you can't do; all
the cries for help you can never
answer; and all the ways that (X)
quietly tears you apart... but (X)
never stops you. And living a (X)
little of that myself, I felt
something... something I never (X)
thought was possible. (X)
CLARK
What?
LOIS
I love you _more_. More than I (X)
ever have... more than I ever
thought I could love anyone. (X)

They're at the fountain. She gently pushes him back and (X)
sits him down
LOIS (CONT'D)
So I have to ask you... (X)
She pulls out the engagement ring box. Kneels and opens it.
LOIS (CONT'D)
... will you marry me?
He looks at her, his every desire met at this moment. Then
smiles.
CLARK
Who's asking -- Lois or Ultra
Woman?
LOIS
Who's answering -- Clark or (X)
Superman?
He stands.
CLARK
_I'm_ answering.
LOIS
I'm waiting. (X)
He slides the ring out of the box and onto her finger as
CLARK
Yes. (X)
They kiss. Her bejewelled left hand caresses his cheek as
their lips meet and ...
