JIMMY:

I bet S.T.A.R. Labs could tell.

CLARK:

I'll call Dr. Baines' office and ask

for permission to set up an

independent examination.

LOIS:

Clark! Baines isn't going to let you

do that! She could be *

involved! Besides, we don't have *

time to play by the rules. The

Colonist Transport goes up in two

days!

CLARK:

(walking away)

I'm making the call. Maybe someone

else at EPRAD will authorize it.

LOIS:

You do that.

Clark heads toward his desk. Lois stands there a minute, then

heads toward the exit.

JIMMY:

Where are you going?

LOIS:

Nowhere.

JIMMY:

I'm coming, too.

114 INT. DAILY PLANET - NEWSROOM - MOMENTS LATER 114

Lois, Clark, and Jimmy stride down the newsroom corridor.

LOIS:

What we need is physical evidence.

CLARK:

I'll call Dr. Baines' office and

ask for permission to set up an

independent examination.

LOIS:

Clark! Baines isn't going to let

you do that! She could be

involved! Besides, we don't have

time to play by the rules. The

Colonist Transport goes up in two

days!

CLARK:

JIMMY:

Where are you going?

LOIS:

Nowhere.

JIMMY:

I'm coming, too.

115 EXT. HANGAR SOMEWHERE IN THE DESERT - DUSK 115

Lois and Jimmy crouch behind a bush, a hundred yards from

the security gate of the hangar complex. Lois quickly

hatches a plan.

LOIS:

I'll create a diversion. You sneak

into the guard house and disconnect

the alarm system... you're good at

that kind of thing.

Jimmy looks at her as if she were insane.

JIMMY:

(caustic)

Why don't we just crawl up behind

the guards and slit their throats?

LOIS:

(ignoring him) *

You brought your goody-bag, didn't *

you? *

JIMMY:

Yeah, but Lois, this may be a *

really stupid question, but what do

you hope to find in there anyway?

LOIS:

I don't know. Answers. Just take

pictures of every inch of the wreck

and we'll have them analyzed later.

(beat)

Then we'll have to break into

Baines' office. I'm positive she's

lying about that report.

Jimmy sighs, takes a second to let the plan sink in.

JIMMY:

I guess I don't need to point this

out to you... but this is

_dangerous_.

LOIS:

Fine. You go back to writing

obituaries and _I'll_ grab the

scoop of the century all by myself.

JIMMY:

(beat)

What kind of a diversion did you

have in mind?

CUT TO:

-- page break -- 78.

CONTINUED:

LOIS:

I don't suppose you two big strong

men can help me change a tire?

ANOTHER ANGLE:

Jimmy comes out of the darkness and moves into the

guardhouse.

LOIS AND THE GUARDS

FIRST GUARD:

I'm sorry, Ma'am, but we're not

supposed to...

LOIS:

Oh, come now. Surely no one would

get mad for helping a lady in

distress.

(suggestively)

I would really appreciate it.

The Guards look at one another.

Jimmy, on hands and knees, looks around for...
