LOIS CLONE, breathtaking in her beautiful nightgown, stands
watching Clark, who's in bed. CLARK, all but panting,
smiles and:
CLARK
You know, I have... imagined this
moment... For so long.
He pulls back covers to make a space for her. She smiles,
approaches. outside, a soft roll of THUNDER.
CLARK (CONT'D)
Hello, Mrs. Kent.
She gets into bed, he moves in close, kisses her.
CLARK (CONT'D)
We've gone through so much to get
to this night, but none of that
matters. It's perfect.
He starts to kiss her again.
LOIS CLONE
Are you as tired as I am?
CLARK
What?
LOIS CLONE
It's just the past few days... The
preparations... The wedding... I'm
just exhausted.
CLARK
I'm... not that tired.

Lois Clone, in robe, dabs at her mouth with a napkin,
glances hungrily in her purse as if it were a candy box,
selects another frog, pulls it out, prepared to munch, when:
CLARK (O.S.)
Lois... you out there?
She instantly stuffs the frog back in her purse, shuts it,
and whips around, assuming an innocent pose as Clark,
pulling on robe, comes out of the bedroom.
CLARK (CONT'D)
Hi.
LOIS CLONE
Hi. Would you like coffee?
(crosses to kitchen)
I know you like coffee. It's one
of the many, many things I know
about you.
CLARK
Uh, great. Could we talk about

LOIS CLONE
Warmer than normal for this time of

CLARK
Yeah well, depending on how you
define 'warm.'
LOIS CLONE

You're saying it wasn't?

Lois Clone, remembering her mission, softens and scoots over

LOIS CLONE
Of course not. Honey. It was just
a big day for me. Lots of
pressure.
CLARK

Well, okay... You're right.
Things'll be better when we get to

LOIS CLONE
Oh. That's another thing. I

incredibly short skirt, thigh-high stockings, tight top,
tags flapping.
LOIS CLONE (CONT'D)
What do you think?
CLARK
Well, you know, it's... different.
Nice. It's very nice. Lois... Can we

LOIS CLONE
Sure! I opened charge accounts at

LOIS
I had $200 million dollars just
sitting around all this time and
never knew it?
LEX
I needed cash that was quickly
available and not traceable to me.
LOIS
What if I refuse to go inside and
withdraw it? Who'll get your blood
money then?
The door opens and Lois Clone climbs in, sits in the seat
opposite them.
LEX
She will.
LOIS CLONE
How long is this gonna take? The
saleslady at the bikini boutique is
holding some stuff for me.
LEX
I guess this means you're enjoying
life as Mrs. Clark Kent.
LOIS CLONE
I think it could maybe work out.
He like gives me things. Money...
shoes.
LEX
You see, Lois, how quickly one can
adapt? It's the key to a
successful marriage.
LOIS CLONE
And anyway, there are sides to
Clark I didn't know about before.
LEX
What're you talking about?
LOIS CLONE
I've got a secret. Actually it's
not _my_ secret, it's someone
else's. But it's _super_ cool.
(a mischievous look to
Lois)
Know what I mean?
Lois stares, startled. Lex looks from one to the other.

He grabs her arm, she wrenches away.

a light. He looks up and his mouth falls open.
70 WIDER - THE ROOM 70
Every image of Lois has been trashed. A large photo has a (X)
meat cleaver in it. Pictures of Lois and Clark are ripped (X)
in half. Framed Lois photos are smashed. Scrawled on the (X)
wall in huge letters: "Lois dies!" Then:
LEX (O.S.)
It appears we both have our hands
full.
71 ANGLE 71
Clark spins and Lex Luthor, coat draped over his shoulders,
steps from the shadowy bedroom area. Clark's face contorts
and he loses it, charging at Lex and slamming him up against
a wall.
CLARK
(dangerous; seething)
Do you know how easily I could kill
you?

LEX
Probably.
CLARK
Probably not.
LEX
Unfortunately, we need each other.
CLARK
What have you done with her?!
Where _is_ she?!!
LEX
I replaced her. Just before the
wedding.
CLARK
And sent that 'thing' to be with
me! Where's Lois?!
LEX
I lost her.
CLARK
_Lost_ her?!
Clark lightly tosses Lex, who hurtles across the room and
lands on the couch, hurting his injured arm.
LEX
Ow!! Easy.
(then)
Kent, you must hate me with more
hate than you thought possible.
But there's a larger issue. The
Clone's gotten it into her head to
destroy Lois.
CLARK
What?
LEX
Replicants are quite childish,
always throwing tantrums...
(nods to the room)
... as you can see. Well, she's
decided she wants you and has to
eliminate the competition.
(pulls down coat to
reveal his bloody sleeve)
I guarantee she means business.
Clark grabs Lex by the shirt front, yanks him to his feet,
grabs a phone, dials.

LEX (CONT'D)
(screaming)
Calling the police? Sending me
back to prison? The clock is
ticking, Kent! We need each other!
I know that Clone's every move.
And you... You're the only man on
earth who wants to find Lois as
much as I.
Clark slowly puts down the phone, and with his other hand,
brings Lex very close to his own face as CAMERA MOVES IN:
CLARK
(barely in control)
I.... swear to you.... If anything's
happened to Lois...
LEX
We're wasting time. The creature
may have already found her.

The front page settles and reveals a photo of: "Lois Lane:
missing."
MATCH CUT TO:
73 INT. ACE O'CLUBS - ON NEWSPAPER - MORNING 73
Red and Wanda Detroit are sitting at the bar, staring at the
newspaper.
WANDA
That's her. The crazy woman who
looks just like me.
RED
And you still can't figure out why
she wants to kill you?
LOIS
Life's been tough. Guess I ruffled
some feathers along the way.
(then)
Boys, it may be time for me to move
on.
CUT TO:
74 INT. CLARK'S LIVING ROOM - MORNING 74
Lex is there with Clark.
CLARK
(furious)
You gave her _what_?!
LEX
A simple injection to keep her from
speaking. It's possibly why you
haven't heard from her.
He slams Lex up against the wall.
CLARK
Lois would move heaven and earth to
contact me. Or Superman. I know
Lois. (X)

LEX
Lest you forget, Kent, she was (X)
once my intended. The fact that I (X)
knew some aspects of her and you (X)
others, can be an asset to our
search.
Clark roughly releases Lex, turns away.
CLARK
Where'd you see her last?
LEX
Outside a bank. She'd just kicked
me in the jaw.
Clark grins in spite of himself.
CLARK
That's Lois.
LEX
She's an amazing woman. I've never
known anyone like her.
CLARK
Fearless.
LEX
(looking off)
Stupidly so, at times.
CLARK
(looking off)
I try to get her to take it easy,
but...
LEX
... She won't listen. And yet,
when she's sad, and she cries...
CLARK
You wanna die.
LEX
Tell me about it.
They stop, glance uncomfortably at each other, Good and Evil
met on common ground. Then:
LEX (CONT'D)
I'll help find her, Kent. In this
one instance, you can trust me.
He extends a hand to Clark to shake. Clark glances warily
at the hand, then a KNOCK at the door. Both men spring
back.

75 THE DOOR 75
Lex has shrunk back to the bedroom area as Clark opens the
door to reveal Jimmy. Rapid fire:
JIMMY
(urgently)
C.K.! This guy just showed up at
the Planet.
CLARK
What guy?
JIMMY
Red something or other. When you
told us last night Lois was
missing, we ran her picture on the
front page. This 'Red' saw the
picture and says we need to know
something about Lois Lane.
CLARK
And that would be..?
JIMMY
She's a murderer. Or potential
murderer.
CLARK
What?!!
JIMMY
But that's not the important part.
CLARK
What _is_?!
JIMMY
Red says Lois is trying to kill his
new girlfriend.
CLARK
And she would be..?
JIMMY
Wanda Detroit!!
CLARK
Who is ... ?
JIMMY
The heroine of Lois's secret novel.
76 ON LEX 76
He presses against the bedroom doorway, listening.

CLARK (O.S.)
... Lois is somewhere acting like (X)
the heroine of her secret novel?!
77 BACK TO JIMMY AND CLARK 77
Jimmy waves the print-out he made from her computer.
JIMMY
Wanda Detroit! Wanda's got this (X)
jerk of a boyfriend named... (X)
'Clark.' He's elusive and
secretive.
CLARK
She must've written that when she
was mad at me.
JIMMY
Then there's this other dude who
she seriously loves. Her hero.
The guy she'd do anything for.
Only he won't give her the time
of day. His name's Kent. One
thing about Lois's brain, it sure
is filled with a lot of you.
CLARK
Oh God... Where can I find her? (X)
JIMMY
At the docks. She sings at this
dive called The Ace-O'-Clubs.
CLARK
Jimmy, thanks!
He tosses the door closed as:
JIMMY
Wait, take me with...
SLAM! The door is closed. Clark yanks it back open.
CLARK
Can't.
He SLAMS the door again, dashes down to the bedroom.
CLARK (CONT'D)
Luthor, I think I know where...
But as he looks in the bedroom he finds no one. Then he
notices the window is wide open. Lex has fled.

Bibbo is watering the liquor. Wanda comes rushing out of
the back room carrying a brown paper bag.
BIBBO
We're gonna miss you Wanda. You're
really stacked, and you enchant the
clientele.
WANDA
Gotta keep movin'. Honky-tonk bars
and blues guitars. Story of my
life.
BIBBO
What about Red?
WANDA
Aw, he's better off without me.
I'm like cheap booze, Bibbo: The
high ain't bad; the hangover's
murder. I'm gonna kiss the cook
good-bye.
She exits to the kitchen just as:
79 ANGLE 79
The SUPER WHOOSH outside swings open the door, scattering
napkins, and knocking over a bottle. Then Clark enters.
Inside, he notices an easel next to the piano. on it is a
photo of Lois, under which is written "Tonight - Wanda
Detroit." He approaches the bar.
BIBBO
What can I offer you today?
CLARK
Information.
BIBBO
The capital of Connecticut is
Hartford.
CLARK
About Wanda Detroit. Is she around
now?
BIBBO
At Bibbo's, our artists have a 'no
autograph' policy.

I'm a reporter. And a friend of
Lo... Wanda Detroit's. Maybe you
could get a note to her.
80 BEHIND THE DOOR BETWEEN KITCHEN AND BAR 80
Wanda listens in horror to:
BIBBO (O.S.)
All right. What's your name?
CLARK (O.S.)
Clark.
Wanda cringes, frightened.
WANDA
'Clark?'
Then she looks around, vanishes from FRAME.
81 THE BAR 81
Clark and Bibbo.
RED (O.S.)
What'd ya say your name was, buddy?
Clark spins as CAMERA ADJUSTS to find an angry-looking Red.
CLARK
Clark.
RED
Bibbo, this is the creep who's (X)
hounding Wanda.
(to Clark)
I just got one thing to say to (X)
you, buster.
CLARK
Yes?
And Red hauls off and slugs Clark. Clark, stares,
unaffected. Then he catches himself and feigns hurt.

And he slugs Clark who once again takes the punch.
CLARK
Guys...
82 EXT. GLOOMY STREET - DAY 82
Wanda has raced away from the club and is hustling down the
street. She turns a corner, and:
WANDA
You!
83 NEW ANGLE 83
The Clone has a gun aimed at Wanda.
LOIS CLONE
Yeah.
WANDA
Who are you? (X)
LOIS CLONE
Oh, like you don't know. We both (X)
have the same boyfriend!
WANDA
Kid. I doubt we draw from the same
date pool. Who's your boyfriend?
LOIS CLONE
Like you don't know! I've decided
being Mrs. Clark Kent is really
cool, and you being alive is a
drag. So...
She raises the gun and prepares to fire.
WANDA
Now, wait a minute!!
O.S., the sound of SQUEALING TIRES. The Clone spins, and:

84 NEW ANGLE 84
A dark sedan is bearing down on the Clone. It jumps the
curb and ROARS down the sidewalk and she takes off running,
finally diving over some trash barrels into an alley as the
car ROARS past. The gun has gone flying, Wanda grabs it. (X)
Up ahead, the Car goes into a SCREECHING U-Turn and doubles
back, skidding to a stop near Wanda, who aims the gun at the
driver's door. Lex pops out. (X)
LEX
Angel! It's me! The man you love.
(off her blank stare)
Wanda... It's Kent!
WANDA
(lowering gun)
You're... Kent? (X)
LEX

I sure hope this isn't a dream. (X)
LEX
A dream come true. (X)
Wanda melts in his arms, he kisses her. (X)
LEX (CONT'D)
Only one person stands in our way. (X)
WANDA
I know, I know! Clark! He's
here! (X)
LEX
He's got it in his crazed brain (X)
that _I'm_ the one who's no good
for you. But everything will be (X)
fine if you do _exactly_ as I say. (X)
85 INT. ACE Of CLUBS - DAY 85
Bibbo and Red, sweating and weary, stand before Clark, both

He floors it.
89 REAR TIRE 89
It spins and smokes; the car goes nowhere.
90 EXT. CAR - LOOSER 90
Superman stands holding the earls rear bumper. The wheels
stop turning and Superman gives the car a spin. It spins
around at HIGH SPEED and Superman BLURS behind a parked
truck and comes out the other side as Clark. The car
abruptly stops spinning, facing Clark. Clark yanks open the
driver's door and grabs Lex, yanking him out of the car.
Wanda jumps out of the passenger door. (X)

WANDA
Getting married. (X)
Clark just stares in horror; Wanda goes on as if repeating (X)
memorized lines. (X)
WANDA (CONT'D)
I had doubts. I was afraid to (X)
disappoint you... our parents... (X)
I couldn't even face you. That's (X)
why I hid out here... pretending to
