Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Page #31

DR. BAINES

Very impressive, Lois. These days, a

woman has to know self defense.

Baines motions with the gun for her to turn around. Lois has

no choice. She turns, gun to her back as we

CUT TO:

131 INT. DAILY PLANET CONFERENCE ROOM - SAME TIME 131

Perry continues through the weekly stories, but Clark can't

concentrate. He pushes back his chair, heads for the door.

PERRY:

The piece on the recent sex change

operation in the Royal Family...

(seeing Clark)

Kent. This meeting isn't over.

CLARK:

It's not like Lois or Jimmy to miss a

staff meeting. I thought I'd call

around.

PERRY:

Okay. Go.

Clark exits.

134 EXT. UNLIT HANGAR - MINUTES LATER 134

Clark, having torn up the last of his suits, lands just

outside the hangar. He looks beyond the metal walls, sees

Lois gagged, tied to a chair. Jimmy, also bound and gagged,

lies beside her.

-- page break -- Rev. 4/14/93 (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 in a heap. Lois quickly

turns... and runs right into Baines, who points the gun at

Lois, stopping her dead in her tracks.

Without stopping to think things through, Clark uses his

shoulder weight to break down the outside door.

135 INT. UNLIT HANGAR - MOMENTS LATER 135

Clark bursts in, sending the door flying. *

DR. BAINES

Good evening, Mr. Kent. *

I guess you don't know your own *

strength. *

THE ROOM - CLARK'S POV

Lois looks up in utter amazement. Baines stands by Lois,

gun pointed at her. Jimmy is still unconscious on the

floor. The Tattooed Man raises an Uzi to cover Clark.

CLARK:

Put down those guns.

DR. BAINES

Or you'll ... what?

CLARK:

has a strained look on his face. With guns trained on him

and Lois, Clark has no way of saving anyone without

revealing his powers. With no choice but to play along,

completely frustrated, that's where we leave him as we

FADE OUT:

END OF ACT FIVE:

-- page break -- 86.

ACT SIX:

FADE IN:

136 INT. HANGAR - NIGHT 136*

Lois and Clark are tied, not to each other, but back to

back in high back chairs, bound with fine link chains

secured by multiple locks. Lois is mid-diatribe.

LOIS:

I told Perry I needed a task force.

A _task_ _force_. What do I

get? _Amateurs_.

Jimmy is still on the ground, semiconscious, his hands and

feet bound. From the look on Clark's face, Lois has been

on a non-stop harangue for what seems like hours.

CU - CLARK'S HANDS

Clark, bored with the tirade, keeps opening, then closing *

the padlocks as a diversion. *
