Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Page #30

Season #1
Synopsis: Another incarnation of the Superman legend, this series puts a 1990s spin on the standard story. This time, the focus is on the romantic triangle forming between Superman, Clark Kent and Lois (who obviously doesn't know that they are in fact one and the same). True to old Superman form, the evil Lex Luthor pops up every once in a while to wreak havoc on The Daily Planet and the city of Metropolis.

DR. BAINES

(worried),

But she suspects me, Lex. You said

I'd never be implicated.

LUTHOR:

She lacks evidence. Evidence is

sometimes all that separates the

criminal from the successful

businessman... or woman.

(beat)

I told you I'd take care of her.

DR. BAINES

(pleading)

Lex, I did this for you...

LUTHOR:

And you've been paid very well. In

fact, your final installment is

waiting for you in the helicopter.

Proceed as planned. I promise...

there will be no loose ends.

Baines hears a dial tone on the other end. She looks up at

the monitor, nervously reaches to open a drawer. Baines

removes an automatic pistol, looks at the Tattooed Man.

CUT TO:

128 INT. LEX LUTHOR"S STUDY - SAME TIME 128

Luthor still has Baines and the Tattooed Man on his

telephone video monitor. He now turns off his screen.

129 INT. DAILY PLANET CONFERENCE ROOM - 10:00 PM 129

Perry and his staff, now including Clark, convene around the

large table.

PERRY:

Sorry about the late hour, folks.

There's just not enough time in the

day...

(looking around the table)

Where are Lois and Jimmy? Clark?

CLARK:

I don't know. I haven't seen them

since this afternoon. I assumed

they'd be here.

PERRY:

We'll start without them.

Clark leans back in his chair, concerned, as we

CUT TO:

130 INT. UNLIT HANGAR - NIGHT 130

Empty except for the real salvaged shell resting on a

platform. Lois walks around the shell, flashes her pocket

flashlight on the damaged side, looks at Jimmy and nods. He

begins to take pictures.

LOIS:

This is beginning to make sense.

Obviously, someone didn't want the

scientists seeing the particle *

isolators so they dummied up another

shell for them to examine.

Lois heads off to explore the rest of the interior.

A SHADOW:

suddenly appears behind Jimmy and karate chops him in the

neck. Jimmy collapses to the floor.

LOIS (CONT'D)

This is a cinch. We'll just go over

to the other hangar, tell the

scientists, make a call

(reacting to the silence)

Jimmy?

Lois wanders around the shell, sees Jimmy lying on the floor.

As the shadow comes up behind her, Lois whirls, goes into her

best Tae Kwon Do stance and crescent kicks the Tattooed Man to

the solar plexus.

CONTINUED:

When he doubles over, she continues with a kick to his

chest, knocking him down.

-- page break -- Rev. 3/22/93 (goldenrod) 83-84.

CONTINUED:

The man, winded, reaches into his jacket for a knife, but

Lois, still with the upper hand, front kicks that away as

well. The man starts to rise once again, but Lois is ready.

She does a running jump, kicks him in the side of the head,

and he goes down into a heap. Lois quickly turns... and runs

right into Baines, who points the gun at Lois, stopping her

dead in her tracks.
