END TEASER
ACT ONE
FADE IN:
EXT. STREET - NIGHT
People look up in terror and point directly upward.
PEDESTRIANS' POV
SUPERBOY continues his descent. His skin is still green - but the effect is fading. He painfully brings his arms together in front of himself. His brow is knit, his teeth are clenched, the strain is obvious. Just as his face is about to collide with the CAMERA, he manages to pull himself up -- and we see the "S" shield blur past the camera.
WIDE SHOT
Pedestrians duck as Superboy comes out of his tailspin and dramatically levels off, mere millimeters above their heads. Then he banks sharply, and heads purposefully back into the sky.
CUT TO:
INT. LUTHOR'S LAIR - NIGHT
LUTHOR screams in terror as BIZARRO descends upon him. The green aura of Kryptonite permeates everything. DARLA, petrified, is crouched under the table.
BIZARRO
You say you make someone to love...
You trick Bizarro. Now you die.
LUTHOR
One more chance! Please...
BIZARRO
No more chance...
And Bizarro grabs Luthor's throat...
ON WALL
Suddenly, Superboy bursts into the room behind Bizarro. Reacting, Bizarro lets go of Luthor.
LUTHOR
(relieved)
Superboy!
SUPERBOY
Glad to see me, Luthor?
LUTHOR
A mixed blessing...
BIZARRO
(to Superboy)
You right all along... Luthor trick
me. Me kill him.
And he goes for Luthor again.
SUPERBOY
No!
He takes a step toward Bizarro, then hesitates because of the Kryptonite. Starting to weaken, he nevertheless dives forward and tackles Bizarro. They crash to the floor.
ON LUTHOR
Without taking his eyes off the two superbeings, Luthor backs to the duplicator and the Kryptonite on the table.
LUTHOR'S POV -- ON SUPERBOY AND BIZARRO
They fight -- but since he is weakened by the Kryptonite in the room, Superboy is on the receiving end of most of the abuse. Superboy throws a punch that lands solidly on Bizarro's jaw -- but Bizarro hardly notices it. He strikes back with a punch that send Superboy reeling.
ON LUTHOR
He continues watching, his face a mixture of terror and fascination -- so much so that he fails to notice Darla rising from under the table behind him.
DARLA
Lex! We've got to get out of here!
LUTHOR
Are you crazy? I want to see this!
DARLA
But if Bizarro wins, he'll kill
you, and if Superboy wins, we go
back to jail.
LUTHOR
(weakly)
Maybe they'll kill each other?
DARLA
Lex!
And Luthor now scoops up the Kryptonite, while Darla grabs the duplicator. The two begin creeping along the wall, moving toward the hole Superboy made smashing into the place.
TIGHT ON SUPERBOY
Spotting them go -- but then he's hit on the jaw by a white fist.
WIDER
as Superboy recovers from the blow, then feels his powers returning, now that the Kryptonite is gone. He takes a deep breath, cocks his fist way back -- and throws a super-powerful punch straight at the CAMERA.
SUPERBOY'SPOV: ON BIZARRO
Bizarro goes rocketing backward with the force of a locomotive, flying across the length of the lair, smashing through everything in his path. Chairs, tables, the TV -- everything. Ultimately, he crashes through the rear wall of the prison -- and is gone.
ON SUPERBOY
He quickly goes to the place where Luthor made his exit.
But then:
ON HOLE IN BACK OF PRISON
Bizarro suddenly rockets through, right toward the CAMERA.
ON SUPERBOY AND BIZARRO
His arms outstretched in front of him, Bizarro slams into Superboy's gut. CAMERA FOLLOWS as they slam against the prison bars on the opposite wall. The bars bend on impact.
CLOSE ON SUPERBOY AND BIZARRO AGAINST PRISON BARS
The two press close to one another. Bizarro lifts his arm to punch Superboy again -- but Superboy grabs his wrist in mid-swing and holds it tight.
SUPERBOY
(straining)
Bizarro, listen! I need you to help me...
BIZARRO
Why you not let me kill Luthor?
Him want to kill you.
SUPERBOY
Because I'm not a murderer, like he
is. Neither are you.
CLOSE ON SUPERBOY
As Superboy's words sink in. After a beat:
BIZARRO
All me wanted was to be happy.
WIDER
Bizarro breaks away from Superboy and exits.
ON SUPERBOY
CUT TO:
INT. SEWER - NIGHT
Luthor and Darla hurry along the dank sewer, splashing through puddles as they go. Darla lugs the duplicator.
LUTHOR
What more could I have asked for?
Superboy killed by the closest
thing he has to a brother. It was
flawless... except for that little
instability problem, and I think I
know how to fix that. But why
would the Bizarro Darla fall for me
instead of him?
DARLA
I did. You're just an irresistible
kind of guy.
Lex rolls his eyes. But then, he starts thinking.
LUTHOR
Wait a minute...
(realizing)
Wait a minute. That's it! I
have to create a Bizarro bride
from someone who loves Superboy!
DARLA
I think I know where is heading...
LUTHOR
Honey, we're back in business.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. BUREAU - DAY
Start tight on LANA. She's on the phone:
LANA
No, ma'am... I don't think Bizarro
wears a tan overcoat... no...
Now PAN TO MATT -- nearby, on another line:
MATT
The Sun Tower building? You think
you saw him up there? We'll get
right on it...
(hangs up)
...as soon as we check out the
fifty other places Bizarro's
supposed to be...
The phone rings -- Matt picks it up. CONTINUE PAN as...
MATT
Hello, Bureau... uh huh. He did
what to you?...
END PAN on Clark, standing nearby, ostensibly filing, but actually listening in. Suddenly:
JACKSON'S VOICE
Kent! What do you think you're doing?
Clark jumps -- JACKSON now comes into frame.
CLARK
(sheepish)
Mr. Jackson -- I was just collating some--
JACKSON
Don't you ever pay attention to me, Kent?
CLARK
Sir?
JACKSON
'Take the day off,' I said
yesterday. And here you are...
CLARK
Well, sir, to tell you the truth, I
was curious about Bizarro.
JACKSON
You and the whole city. But
there's nothing you can do about it.
Jackson starts to walk away.
CLARK
(sighing)
I'm beginning to think you might be
right...
(calling out)
Any word on Luthor, sir?
JACKSON
Luthor? What's he got to do with this?
CLARK
He's got the duplicator ray.
JACKSON
Luthor? How would you know that?
CLARK
Oh, I, uh, keep my ears open.
Matt, now off the phone, comes up next to Jackson.
JACKSON
(to Matt)
I Luthor's got that machine,
there's no telling what damage he'll do.
On Clark, nodding slowly.
INT. THE CELLAR BAR AND GRILL - DAY
CLOSE on a TV set, on which a NEWSWOMAN is reading some copy. Behind her is a shot of a home burning.
NEWSWOMAN
A rather bizarre incident early
today has left District Attorney
Arthur Odell and his family
homeless. Police say Odell
accepted a delivery of an bouquet of
unusual white flowers, and started
to leave for work. Moments later,
the house burst into flames.
CAMERA PULLS BACK TO REVEAL the TV set is behind the bar at The Cellar. CAMERA
continues to pull back, revealing Matt sitting in a booth, casually watching the report, his interest gradually increasing. Clark now appears, making his way through the crowd, carrying a couple of plates of happy hour hors d'oeuvres.
CLARK
(coming up)
It's like a feeding frenzy up
there. I got what I could.
MATT
(re: TV report)
Look at this...
Clark glances up.
HIS POV
The newswoman continues.
NEWSWOMAN
Authorities say this is not an
isolated incident. In the past few
hours, there have been several
similar incidents of exploding flowers.
BACK TO SCENE
Clark and Matt look at each other.
CLARK
Bizarro duplicates...
MATT
Looks that way. Like the birds.
THE SCREEN
suddenly, it fills with static -- and when it clears, we see the head and shoulders of Lex Luthor, a la Max Headroom.
LUTHOR
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Lex Luthor here. Sorry to interrupt --
ON CUSTUMERS IN CELLAR - FAVOR MATT AND CLARK
All look stunned, their eyes fixed on the screen.
ON TV - (VIDEO) The rest of this scene shot ON VIDEO
(INT. LUTHOR'S UNDERGROUND HIDEOUT).
CLOSE ON LUTHOR
LUTHOR
-- But I thought you'd like to know
who's responsible for those lovely
floral arrangements.
(leaning in)
The bad news is, they're only the
tip of the iceberg. With this
nifty little contraption...
(quick cut of the duplicator)
...I can make copies of anything.
Birds... flowers... even a child's
doll. Observe, if you please...
CLOSE ON DOLL
A bizarro version of a Cabbage Patch-like doll. It sits on a stool for a beat, then explodes.
ON LUTHOR
LUTHOR
Not the real thing, mind you -- but
combustible simulations! And
here's the really scary part --
At midnight tonight, I'm going to
bounce the ray off a communications
satellite -- and into the homes of
all you late-night viewers. Just
think -- a long lost twin to call
your own... for a little while, at
least. Then...
(beat)
...BOOM!
ON CUSTOMERS IN CELLAR -- FAVOR MATT AND CLARK
They flinch in reaction.
ON TV -- VIDEO
LUTHOR
But I'm a reasonable man. I'll be
happy to call the whole thing off
when Superboy surrenders to me --
if he can find me.
CAMERA ZOOMS IN even closer on Luthor's face. He's almost pressing up against the lens.
CLOSE ON CLARK
reacting, as:
LUTHOR'S VOICE
It's in your hands, Superboy.
Your life for the lives of
thousands in TV land! You decide...
On Clark's look.
CUT TO:
INT. LANA'S JEEP - DAY
Pulling up outside The Cellar... listening to the car radio.
LUTHOR'S VOICE
...Tic, toc, tic, toc, Superboy.
Better hurry. Time's running out...
Lana comes to a stop and snaps off the radio. She goes to open the door -- but it is opened for her.
ANOTHER ANGLE
It's Luthor... in a policeman's uniform.
LANA
Luthor! But you're talking on...
LUTHOR
(leaning in)
Ah, but was it live, or was it
'Memo-Lex'?
And he grabs her. As Lana screams...
FADE OUT.
END ACT ONE
ACT TWO
FADE IN:
INT. THE CELLAR - DAY
It's moments later. People are hurrying for the door, and a line has formed at the phones. The BARTENDER is taking the TV down from over the bar.
BARTENDER
I'm not taking any chances...
CLOSER
On Matt and Clark. Clark is deep in thought. Matt turns to him:
MATT
Why would Luthor want Superboy to
find him? He'll take him straight
to prison.
CLARK
(almost to himself)
Not with all that Kryptonite around.
MATT
(standing)
Well, look, we should probably get
back. They're gonna need all the
help they can get at the Bureau.
CLARK
(standing)
Sure, sure... Oh, what about Lana?
I better wait here for her...
MATT
Don't wait too long...
And Matt exits. Clark watches him go, then takes off himself.
CUT TO:
INT. LUTHOR'S UNDERGROUND LAIR - DAY
Luthor and Darla enter, pushing a reluctant and fearful Lana. Luthor takes off his police hat.
LUTHOR
Make yourself comfortable, my dear.
We'll be ready momentarily.
LANA
(angrily)
For what?
LUTHOR
Once again, you're the key to
solving all my problems.
LANA
If you think you can blackmail
Superboy --
LUTHOR
This has absolutely nothing to do
with blackmail, my dear. It's all
about... what makes the world go
'round.
Lana gives him a confused look, then Luthor turns to Darla:
LUTHOR
Get her ready.
CUT TO:
EXT. ROOF - NIGHT
Bizarro stands there, alone and solemn. A beat, and from out of the sky, Superboy lands behind him. Bizarro spins around to face him.
SUPERBOY
You're a hard man to find, Bizarro.
BIZARRO
What you want?
SUPERBOY
I need your help; Kryptonite
doesn't affect you and --
BIZARRO
Why I held you? Why I help anyone?
Superboy takes a step closer.
SUPERBOY
Look, I understand what you're
going through.
BIZARRO
You not know.
SUPERBOY
Yes, I do. Don't you think I have
the same thoughts? Wishing I were
normal? But I'm not. We're not.
BIZARRO
Why you say we the same?
SUPERBOY
Because we are. No one else can
understand what it's like to have
people cringe when you shake their
hand because they're afraid you'll
crush it. Or --
Bizarro grabs Superboy's arm and leads him to a nearby puddle where their reflections are clearly visible. Next to Superboy, Bizarro is all the more freakish.
BIZARRO
Me not stupid. Me see difference.
That why people hate Bizarro. And
that why Bizarro hate them.
SUPERBOY
No... We have a gift. Both of us.
And we have to use it to help them.
Even if they don't understand us.
BIZARRO
All me want is love --
SUPERBOY
Don't you think I want that, too?
And the truth is, neither of us may
ever get it. But we can't just
walk away...
BIZARRO
Bizarro can.
(waving off Superboy)
Go... Leave me alone.
Superboy's heart filled with regret, he backs away slowly. He wants to say something else, but thinks better of it. He turns, and flies off into the sky, leaving Bizarro. After a moment, something catches Bizarro's eye. He turns.
HIS POV
A bizarro pigeon has just landed on a nearby ledge.
BACK TO SCENE
Anger builds in Bizarro.
BIZARRO
(growling)
Luthor --
He goes over and catches it. He holds it in his hands momentarily and we half expect him to crush it. But then, after a moment he lets it go. He watches the direction it takes off in and follows.
CUT TO:
EXT. STREETS OF CAPITOL CITY - NIGHT
A MAN, carrying a TV, a radio and a VCR is talking to another man.
MAN
He said 'communications satellite.'
I'm not taking any chances.
And then he dumps them on a growing pile of similar items at the curb. Now a TV set crashes near them, having been flung out a second-story window. PAN UP to the sky as a blue and red streak flies by above.
CLOSE ON
Superboy, as he flies past, using super-vision to scan the skies for a clue to Luthor's whereabouts. He looks in one direction, furrowing his brow.
CUT TO:
INT. LUTHOR'S UNDERGROUND HIDEOUT - NIGHT
Luthor is back fine-tuning the equipment.
LUTHOR
Everything's ready. Just a matter of --
Suddenly, the doors fly open REVEALING Bizarro! He is in a rage. He sees Luthor and steps forward ominously.
LUTHOR
Bizarro, we--
Bizarro steps forward, threateningly.
BIZARRO
Bizarro kill you now.
LUTHOR
(backing away)
You're going to kill the man who
can make your dream come true?
Bizarro takes another step closer.
BIZARRO
You try and trick me again.
LUTHOR
You'll never know that if I'm dead.
You want to take that chance?
Bizarro hesitates, unsure. Luthor gives him his most winning smile.
CUT TO:
EXT. SKY OVER CAPITOL CITY - NIGHT
Superboy is getting desperate. He looks down at something OS.
HIS POV
A clock. It is exactly midnight.
BACK TO SCENE
Superboy flies through the sky. He stops short when he sees the bizarro beam shooting upwards from the horizon. CAMERA FOLLOWS as he races toward it, until he sets himself parallel with the beam. He flies up along its length, faster and faster. We can see the strain on his face, his hands are fists, his brow sweats. Superboy races parallel to the beam. The deep-blue night sky gives way to the star-filled blackness of space. Superboy's expression is more strained than ever. For a second, it looks as if he's going to overtake the beam -- but it edges past him. Superboy looks anxiously at the beam's destination.
CUT TO:
EXT. SATELLITE IN SPACE - NIGHT
It hovers there.
ON SUPERBOY
He inhales and blows a gust of wind toward the satellite.
ON SATELLITE
The bizarro beam shoots toward the satellite... just as Superboy's super-breath "pushes" the satellite out of the way of the beam. The beam continues harmlessly into space.
ON SUPERBOY
Relieved, he floats in space looking toward the satellite. The beam still pulses behind him, being fed from some point down to Earth. Superboy turns, looking back toward the source -- and arcs back down towards Earth. He dives parallel to the beam.
CUT TO:
INT. LUTHOR'S UNDERGROUND HIDEOUT - NIGHT
Luthor stares at one of the gauges on the booth wall. The needle on the gauge is dropping rapidly. Luthor taps it gingerly -- the way airline pilots do it. He turns to Darla who stands nearby.
LUTHOR
It seems something -- or
someone -- has moved the
satellite. I never would'a
expected that!
Suddenly, Superboy smashes through the roof and lands next to Luthor. Luthor spins to face him.
LUTHOR
Don't you ever even think
of using the door?
Superboy braces himself for the sickening effects of the Kryptonite, but there is none. He spots Darla laying the still-smoking duplicator, back on the table.
SUPERBOY
It's midnight. I'm here.
LUTHOR
Yes. Quite brave considering you know
I have the Kryptonite. I wish
I could admire that.
(with delight)
This time, however, I'm opting for
a certain irony in having you meet
your end at the hand of a friend.
He gestures to Darla, who opens the door leading to the back room revealing Bizarro! He is holding a large chuck of Kryptonite. Superboy look at him in shock. Bizarro starts to move toward him. The effects of the Kryptonite begin to show on Superboy.
SUPERBOY
Bizarro...
LUTHOR
Surprise! I do love family reunions.
Superboy falls to his knees.
BIZARRO
You lie to Bizarro. You tell him
Luthor is bad man.
SUPERBOY
He is...
BIZARRO
But he make Bizarro happy.
Superboy looks up at him quizzically. Just then, another figure appears at the door. Superboy looks.
ANGLE ON DOOR
There stands a perfectly duplicated Bizarro Lana!
LUTHOR
No explosion this time. Amazing
what a little bizarro Kryptonite
can do.
As Bizarro Lana moves forward, the real Lana is revealed behind here. She comes out behind Bizarro Lana and sees Superboy on the floor.
LANA
Superboy!
SUPERBOY
(surprised)
Lana?
She starts toward him, but Darla, who stands just outside the door, spots her and restrains her.
DARLA
Where do you think you're going?
ANGLE ON BIZARRO
He looks into Bizarro Lana's eyes from across the room.
ANGLE ON SUPERBOY
He is fading fast.
SUPERBOY
Bizarro, he's trying to trick you again.
CLOSE ON BIZARRO LANA AND BIZARRO
But Bizarro is not listening. He and Bizarro Lana are still staring into each other's eyes. Luthor steps in between them.
LUTHOR
(to Bizarro)
No tricks this time. That's
payment in full. One everlasting
mate -- made to order -- and she's
all yours.
(beat, Luthor looks evil)
And now it's time for you to
honor your side of the deal...
(re: Superboy)
Kill him...
ON BIZARRO
He looks at the Kryptonite in his hand, then turns to look OS.
BIZARRO'S POV
Superboy, weak on the ground, green with Kryptonite poisoning.
SUPERBOY
Please... Bizarro... don't do it...
WIDE SHOT
Bizarro's head hangs low as, with the hand containing the Kryptonite outstretched, he moves closer to Superboy.
BIZARRO
Me am sorry. But me make deal.
ON SUPERBOY AND BIZARRO
Bizarro moves ever closer. We can see the regret in his face, even as Superboy screams in agony.
ON DARLA AND LANA
LANA
Bizarro! Stop! You're not a
killer --
Darla puts her hands over Lana's mouth to shut her up.
ON BIZARRO AND SUPERBOY
Bizarro hesitates for a moment, then, with tears building in his eyes, returns to his grim task. Suddenly, a white arm enters the shot, pulling Bizarro's arm down. Bizarro turns to see --
BIZARRO'S POV: ON BIZARRO LANA
She looks at him with sad eyes.
BIZARRO LANA
Lana am right. If you killer like
Luthor, me no love you.
Luthor can't believe his ears.
LUTHOR
(exasperated)
Who do I have to get for this guy?
Squeaky Fromme?
BIZARRO
(sadly)
But if me not kill me, me can't
keep you.
BIZARRO LANA
If you kill him, me no love you.
ON BIZARRO
He's thinking about it. He raises the Kryptonite to his face and looks at it. He looks back at Superboy, then at Bizarro Lana. And then, with super-strength, he hurls the rock aside.
ON LUTHOR
on the other side of the room. He looks startled, then angry. CAMERA FOLLOWS as he storms across the room to Bizarro.
LUTHOR
Wait a minute! We had a deal! What
the hell do you think you're doing?
BIZARRO
Even if me not keep her...
me want her to love Bizarro.
ON SUPERBOY
His normal color returns. CAMERA PULLS WIDE as Bizarro steps up and offers a helping hand. Superboy takes it, rising to his feet.
ON LUTHOR
who realizes he now has two threats to face.
LUTHOR
Uh-oh.
(beat, to Darla OS)
Contingency plan...
ON DARLA AND LANA
Darla goes to a side door, leaving Lana unattended. CAMERA PULLS WIDE as Lana joins Bizarro Lana behind Superboy and Bizarro.
ON DARLA AT DOOR
She opens the door wide as Luthor rushes into the shot. A beat -- and the doorway fills with numerous ominous silhouettes. As they step forward into the light --
ON BIZARRO, SUPERBOY ET AL.
LANA
(sotto voce)
-- bizarro Luthors.
ON BIZARRO LUTHORS IN DOORWAY
We see them. A half-dozen. At least. They all wear Luthor's police uniforms, without the jackets, which on them appear Nazi-ish. They pile out of the door and stream past Darla and
Luthor. Luthor watches them proudly.
LUTHOR
Go get 'em, boys!
CAMERA FOLLOWS the Bizarro Luthors across the room. Lana and Bizarro Lana flatten against the wall. Already, we can see that the bizarro Luthors are beginning to smoke!
LUTHOR
(noticing the smoke)
Did you remember to use the
bizarro Kryptonite on them?
DARLA
Me? I thought you --
They look at each other in panic.
ANGLE ON ONE OF THE BIZARRO LUTHORS
It is very near one of the support beams which holds the roof up. Suddenly, it explodes.
WIDE SHOT
The whole room rocks with the force of the blast. Lana and Bizarro Lana fall to the ground. The support beam collapses and pieces of the studio roof fall. Superboy and Bizarro turn to protect Lana and Bizarro Lana.
ON LUTHOR AND DARLA
LUTHOR
This isn't working out as I'd
planned.
DARLA
Lex, let's go!
CLOSE ON SUPERBOY -- FAVOR EAR
His superhearing picks up Luthor's words.
LUTHOR (OS)
(through super hearing FX)
Not without the duplicator.
Superboy turns his head in the direction of the sound. His eyes turn red with impending heat vision.
SUPERBOY'S POV
We see Luthor bolt from Darla and toward the duplicator.
DARLA
The duplicator!
ON LUTHOR
He's reached the duplicator and is about to grab it when a pair of heat vision beams enter the shot and heat up the duplicator. It glows red. Luthor's hand jerks away.
LUTHOR
(to Darla)
Perhaps you're right.
They turn and head toward the doorway into the next room. Just then, some barrels fall, blocking their way. They look for another way out.
ANGLE ON SUPERBOY AND THE OTHERS
SUPERBOY
(to Lana)
Get out of here! They're gonna
blow!
Lana grabs Bizarro Lana and heads for the door. Just as they make it out, another Bizarro Luthor explodes OS.
CUT TO:
EXT. LUTHOR'S UNDERGROUND HIDEOUT - NIGHT
The ground around the shack which stands over Luthor's hideout begins to collapse where, underneath, the bizarro Luthors are exploding. Lana and Bizarro Lana run out of the shack and barely make it to safety, just as the whole place blows sky high!
ON SINKHOLE
Debris rains down from the sky. All is silent a few beats. Then, from the resulting sinkhole, a piece of rubble stirs... and Bizarro emerges shakily from the wreckage.
ON DIFFERENT RUBBLE
Again, a slight stirring -- and Superboy rises from the debris. He looks over and finds Bizarro looking at him intently. There is a long moment, then:
BIZARRO
Bizarro... sorry... He get
confused by all the words.
SUPERBOY
(smiling)
It happens.
Lana and Bizarro Lana come up.
LANA
Luthor -- ?
SUPERBOY
He didn't come out?
(scans with his x-ray vision)
I-I can't say for sure...
BIZARRO LANA
(hugging Bizarro)
He was evil man...
BIZARRO
But he do one good thing...
(looking into his mate's eyes)
He make Bizarro happy at last...
Bizarro sweeps Bizarro Lana into his arms, and takes off into the sky. Their backs to the CAMERA, Superboy puts his arm around Lana.
They watch as Bizarro and his mate fly into the night.
FADE OUT.
