10 EXT. METROPOLIS STREET - SAME TIME

CU - THE BATTERED SUITCASE WITH THE INITIALS "C.K."

rests on a cement sidewalk in downtown Metropolis.

PULL BACK TO REVEAL

CLARK KENT picking up the suitcase. In his late twenties,

Clark has the wisdom of Solomon in his brown eyes, the

power of Samson in his dark hair. His muscular physique is

concealed behind a grey suit, but his sense of wonder at

his new surroundings cannot be hidden, even behind thick

black-rimmed glasses.

METROPOLIS - CLARK'S POV

A city of majesty: shiny spires atop state-of-the-art

buildings of glass and steel, crowded sidewalks, blasts of

neon advertising, taxi cabs, subway stations. Clark

remains still as walkers brush by him, everyone in a hurry.

Life teems in this, the biggest city of them all, and its

pulse is infectious. Clark checks his watch, looks down

the street toward the Daily Planet, continues walking.

12 EXT. DOWNTOWN METROPOLIS INTERSECTION - DAY 12

Clark waits with a crowd at a busy intersection for the

light to change. He casually glances around him: an OLDER

WOMAN with an armful of shopping bags, a young mother

wheeling her infant twins, two school girls in newly ironed

uniforms, a hip-hopper with a boom box, several businessmen

and women.

13 ANOTHER ANGLE 13

A CITY BUS, barreling down the boulevard.

14 INT. BUS - SAME TIME 14

The Driver, humming merrily, speeds along, then, seeing the

red light up ahead, casually steps on his brakes. When his

foot goes all the way to the floor, he panics, frantically

pumping, then trying the emergency brake. Nothing works.

His eyes widen as he sees the red light straight ahead.

15 AT THE INTERSECTION 15

Clark and the group start across, the older woman and young

mother with twins just to Clark's right. When Clark looks

left, he sees the bus, inches away, coming straight toward

them.
