#310 : Destruction virtuelle

Jaxon, un concepteur de monde virtuel veut obtenir des codes d'accès des Luthor en croyant que ce sont les noms des futurs enfants de Loïs et Lex.

Il enferme Loïs et Clark dans un monde virtuel afin de soutirer les codes. Au début, ils ne savent pas trop où ils sont mais peu à peu, ils le remarque. Ils veulent forcer Jaxon à se joindre à eux mais ne savent pas comment procéder. Alors ils essayent un moyen tout bête...le rendre jaloux.

Ca fonctionne, il est tellement jaloux qu'il renvoie Clark à la réalité mais il garde Loïs. Pendant ce temps, Clark fabrique un mini système afin d'entré en connexion avec Jaxon. Mais Loïs sait à ce moment que c'est la montre de Jaxon qui les fera revenir à la réalité alors ils l'y enferment et il y restera toute sa vie tanis que Loïs et Clark s'en sortent mais on apprend aussi que Jaxon est en fait le fils illégitime de Luthor...

  2   INT./EXT. LOIS' APARTMENT WINDOW - VIRTUAL REALITY - NIGHT            2(X)

      Lois is standing alone... in a low-cut evening gown,
      superbly sexy. She's watching something on the ground below
      with bemused interest. CRASH!


  3   EXT. METROPOLIS STREET - VIRTUAL REALITY - NIGHT                                3  

      It looks like a battlefield... the orange glow of FIRES,
      destroyed CARS.  In the middle of it all -- a fatigued
      SUPERMAN is fighting a super-battle with a HUGE MAN, who's
      dressed in street fighting gear: work boots, long baggy
      shorts, a shirt with ripped sleeves.  This huge fellow is
      called... KOMBAT.  Muscles bulging, Kombat is a specimen --
      a comic book artist couldn't draw a more powerful and
      statuesque figure.


  4   A CROWD OF ONLOOKERS                                                            4  

      roped off like spectators, is gathered on the street corner,
      next to a RED CAPUCCINO CART, watching the two gladiators                        (X)
      with amazement. Some eat popcorn, others sip sodas, coffee.


  5   SUPERMAN                                                                        5  

      bravely sets his jaw, and FLIES right at Kombat -- a BLUE
      BLUR, which RICOCHETS off Kombat's chest like a pinball,
      then CRASHES through the window of a building across the
      street.

      Kombat pulls Superman from the window and THROWS him across
      the street -- destroying a car.


  6   A MAN                                                                           6  

      watching with the other onlookers, stares with awe, munching
      caramel corn.

      It's very similar to Superman's "S".

      Superman steps weakly from the wreckage, almost collapses.
      He leans on the car for support.

                        Enough.  You win.  You're the

                                             CLARK
                        There's a nice thought.

                                             CLARK
                        Lois, I don't care where we go, as
                        long as I'm with you.

                                             LOIS
                        Well, let's say we go to Hawaii. 
                        We could stay in a little shack on

                        Soft bed's fine.

      Lois shifts uncomfortably.

                                             LOIS
                        You don't have to have a soft bed,
                        though.  They have other kinds: big
                        ones, small ones, fluffy ones, hard
                        ones, ones with a little curve...
                        It's just a matter of choice.

                                             CLARK
                        Any bed you choose will be fine
                        with me.

                                             LOIS
                        What if it's not?  What if you
                        expect one type of bed, and you get
                        a completely different kind?  What

                        expected at all?  What if you're

                                             CLARK
                        Lois, there's no doubt in my mind

                        exactly what I want.

                        Okay, trip's over.

      Lois and Clark straighten up, startled.  Jaxon has appeared
      from nowhere, and he's dressed in a very stylish white suit.
      As they move to him, they whisper to each other.

                                             LOIS
                              (sotto)
                        Why is he wearing that suit?

                                             CLARK

                        To impress you.

                                             LOIS
                        No, he's not.

                                             CLARK
                        Yes, he is.

      Though overdressed for the occasion, Jaxon looks and moves
      much better in this virtual environment -- stronger and more
      vibrant.  He's all business.

                                             JAXON
                        Time to go back to reality.  Just
                        relax and...                                                   (X)

                        This is incredible.  It's so real.

      Lois takes his hand, and Jaxon smiles.  Then Clark grabs

                                             JIMMY
                        I could give it a shot.

                                             SUPERMAN
                        I want to access his virtual world
                        from here.  Actually go inside.
                        Could you do it?

                                             JIMMY
                        I'd need much more powerful

      Jaxon is standing at the door to his Master Station, looking

                                             JAXON
                        That's right.  She's trapped in my
                        virtual world, and only I can let
                        her out.  I control the escape
                        window.  If you want to save your
                        little love, it will be on _my_
                        terms.

                                             CLARK
                        You're bluffing.  I can just pull
                        these off, and she's out.

                                             JAXON
                        Do it, Mr. Kent, and she dies.

                                             CLARK
                        You leave me no choice.

                                             JAXON
                        You have a choice.  Step back into
                        my virtual world, and we'll go
                        mano-a-mano.  You and me.

                                             CLARK
                        It wouldn't be fair.  It's your

                              (moving at him)

      like something a fifth grader put together.  Electrical
      tape, a zillion connections, monitors, wires, clamps,
      antennae, etc.  Perry comes marching up, not at all happy
      with what he sees.

                                             PERRY
                        Jimmy, what in Sam Hill are you
                        doing?  I don't need a date this
                        bad!                                                           (X)

      That familiar WHOOSH! and Superman is there with more
      computer parts.

                                             SUPERMAN
                        Here you go.  The last parts.                                  (X)

                        Okay, so you were planning on

      This is a subject she hasn't spoken about with Clark.

                                             LOIS
                        Well... yes.

                                             CLARK/X
                        How many?

                                             LOIS
                        Three or four.

                                             CLARK/X

                        It's important.  _Answer_.

      Again, Lois stares at him.  He doesn't sound like Clark.

                                             LOIS
                        Lex wanted every child to have the
                        letter 'X' in their name.

      Clark/X takes in a deep breath of air.  This is what he
      needs to know.

                                             CLARK/X
                        That's it!  The names, what were
                        they?

                                             LOIS
                        The oldest would be names Alexis,
                        then either Roxanne, or Alex, and
                        the third would be named Lynx.

                                             CLARK/X
                              (shouting)
                        Alexis, Roxanne, Alex, Lynx!  Try
                        them, computer!

                                             LOIS

                                             LOIS
                        Do you think our honeymoon'll be
                        that good?

                                             CLARK
                        No.
                              (off her look)
                        Better.

      As they walk off, CAMERA HOLDS on CLARK'S COMPUTER MONITOR.
      It displays the Daily Planet Menu.  A small, "glitch" and we
      suddenly see JAXON'S FACE fill the screen, look around with
      a devious smile.  Another "glitch" and Jaxon disappears.                         (X)


                                                                 FADE OUT:

                            _THE END_

 69   INT. PLANET - CONFERENCE ROOM - DAY #2                                         69  

      Amid the computer network assembled by Jimmy.  Perry shakes
      his head at Lois, Jimmy and Clark.

                                             JIMMY
                        Ten computer experts have been in
                        and out of Jaxon's system for a                                (X)
                        week.  No sign of the VR world,
                        Luthor's programs, or X.

                                             PERRY
                        I tell ya, I never trusted those
                        machines and now I know why.  You
                        try and separate mind from body,
                        you're asking for a world of
                        trouble.

                                             CLARK
                        Chief, you're preaching to the
                        converted.

                                             LOIS
                        Amen.

      Lois takes Clark's arm, and they move off..

                                             JIMMY
                        Speaking of conversions, I can't
                        change your mind about picking up
                        the board and surfing the love net?

                                             PERRY
                        Jimmy, I'm too old to surf and too
                        smart to think you can catch love
                        in a net.

      He exits.  Jimmy shrugs and slips on virtual goggles.


 70   AT CLARK'S DESK                                                                70  

      He prints out the story.

                                             LOIS
                        Clark? I've been thinking...
                        about... that thing?

                                             CLARK
                        Mm hm.

                                             LOIS
                        I just want you to know how glad I                             (X)
                        am we talked.                                                  (X)

                                                                 (CONTINUED)

 70   CONTINUED:                                                                     70  

                                             CLARK
                        Me, too.                                                       (X)

                                             LOIS
                        I mean, just when I think I know                               (X)
                        everything there is to know, you                               (X)
                        take my breath away with something                             (X)
                        new.

                                             CLARK
                        Good.  Because that's what happens                             (X)
                        to me everytime I see you.                                     (X)

                                             LOIS
                        I'm counting the hours to our                                  (X)
                        honeymoon.                                                     (X)
                              (kiss)
                        But, in the mean time, what do you
                        say we go get some pastrami?

                                             CLARK
                              (moving off)
                        Russian dressing.

                                             LOIS
                        Sliced pickles.

                                             CLARK
                        Side of slaw.

                                             LOIS
                        And a crrrream soda...

      As they walk off, CAMERA HOLDS on CLARK'S COMPUTER MONITOR.
      It displays the Daily Planet Menu.  A small, "glitch" and we
      suddenly see JAXON'S FACE fill the screen, looking for a way
      out.  Another "glitch" and Jaxon disappears.

                                      

                         
                                  THE END
