The Adventures of Superboy (1988) s01e06 Episode Script

[crowd cheering]
Strike!
That pitcher got a delivery as
pretty as anything I've seen.
And an iron arm too.
[crowd cheering]
Hey, alright!
Now, that's baseball, huh?
[crowd cheering]
Time!
[crowd applauding]
What's that thing
on the field, the mascot?
(male #1) That guy costs us a
$100 each game. But he's worth it.
Yeah, well, all he ever does
is hold up the action.
What's he doing?
(male announcer) Now, batting
for Shuster, number 16.
[crowd cheering]
(male #2) Attention!
Attention, everybody!
You are in danger. A bomb
will explode in 30 seconds.
This is your
only warning.
Leave this complex
immediately.
How about us
getting out of here?
I'm not letting any weirdo
chase me off my job.
Besides, they're bluffing.
[ominous music]
Come on. Let's play ball.
Maybe it'll calm down
the crowd. Come on!
(male announcer) Stay calm, please!
Keep to your seats, everybody.
The game will continue.
[engine revving]
[intense music]
[crowd cheering]
[shrill squeal]
[crowd cheering]
Come on, let's play ball.
Where'd he go?
Coach says I'm to
pinch-hit for you.
Go get 'em.
(male announcer) Substituting
for number 16, number 7.
Come on!
Clark?
[crowd cheering]
He he!
[explosion]
# I'm glad they came along #
# I dedicate this song #
# To all the girls
I've loved before #
- Beautiful, Clark. Beautiful.
- That was splendid.
Oh, what are you guys
doing here?
Oh, man!
Okay, Clark, I said a level,
not an audition.
- Everybody's a critic--
- Hey, let an expert try it.
Uh, the Boardwalk
and Baseball amusement park..
(Lana)
T.J.!
when homerun hitter,
Clark Kent slammed a bomb
out of the stadium,
thereby preventing
injury and possible death.
(Clark)
Okay, T.J., that's enough.
- Hey, there's Judd!
- 'Hey.'
Mr. Faust, Clark Kent,
Shuster Herald.
- Judd.
- T.J. White.
Alright. Can I get
one more shot there?
Uh, one's my quota
for the day.
The sound crew.
(Clark)
And of course, uh, Marilyn.
Hi.
- Betsy.
- Hi.
- Susan.
- Mm-hmm.
And Lana.
- I really love your music.
- Thank you.
(Clark)
Judd's in town to get his
honorary masters degree
in music.
And he's graciously agreed to do
a concert for us, student body.
Well, it's the least
I could do for my Alma mater.
- Judd, ready when you are.
- Oh, great. Let's go.
- Excuse me.
- Yeah.
Testing one, one.
# Love can leave scars
that may never show #
# A one-sided heart
can just be physical #
# Is this love physical #
It's okay?
Wow, isn't he great?
Anyway, after I retired
from baseball
I signed on here
as manager of this park.
Anything else
I can tell you?
Yeah. Why the
bombing yesterday?
Oh, there are
bunch of incidences.
The bomb was the first
Major League scare.
Couple of weeks ago
all the refrigeration units
in the cafeteria blew out.
Spoiled about $10,000, $12,000
worth of hotdogs and ice cream.
And the inspector said
that was no accident.
Come here, let me
show you something else.
Not exactly
the Mississippi, is it?
You know you can't have
flume rides without water.
And you can't have water
if somebody sabotages
your water pumps.
Andy, you must have some idea
who, who's hassling you.
About a month ago,
I got a visit from this guy
who says he's a representative
of a conglomerate that, uh..
in-interested
in buying the park.
(Andy) And not only that, but
he's offering a pretty good penny.
I said to him,
"Forget it, fella.
People who own it aren't
interested in selling."
He says to me
like he didn't even hear
what I said, "They'll sell."
And two days later,
that's when the mischief began.
[shrieks]
He didn't make it.
He's still hanging down there.
[indistinct chattering]
This looks like fun.
How about it, huh?
We're here as reporters, T.J.
Hey, I didn't suggest we
dive off the Golden Gate Bridge.
I'm sorry.
- It bothers you, doesn't it?
- It doesn't bother me!
- Yeah.
- Maybe it bothers me.
It's not like I've
a right to be upset.
Say that again.
Wanna etch that in my brain
for future generations.
[whimsical music]
Hey, guys!
- Hey.
- Hey, guys.
Didn't know you guys
were coming here today.
Ah, neither did we.
You guys wanna hit
the Ferris wheel?
Thanks, Judd. I think
we're gonna go--
I accept for
the two of us.
Great.
- Beautiful, isn't it?
- Mm-hmm.
I collect matchbook covers
from all around the world.
Take a look at it.
It's unique.
[pleasant music]
(male #2) Attention,
everybody! Attention.
You are in danger.
Another warning. Lights out.
Andy, we're cutting in
the backup generator.
You again?
Do you even know what
trouble you've caused me?
[intense music]
Our last and final offer.
Get away from me.
[music continues]
You senile old fool!
You should've taken the offer.
I'm going to call the police.
(T.J.) What a mansion! But
do we need a tour of it?
Please try
not to touch anything.
Follow me and I'll show you
my comic book collection.
Oh, Judd, you're terrific.
I mean for having us all here.
But a little weird..
I've been collecting comics
five, six years now.
They're great.
Totally cool.
Yeah, I can sit
in here for hours.
After a most unusual lunch,
Judd Faust took us for a tour--
I mean, you could do ten columns
on his collections, huh?
Obsessions
of the rich and famous.
[laughing]
Yeah, it is
kind of weird.
What did he have in that
last room? A 150 neon signs?
I stopped counting
after I went color-blind.
(Lana)
Would you guys come on?
(Judd) This is my
favorite collection.
# Some would say #
# That falling in love that
makes the flame of each other #
# Run away #
# But I say #
# You don't talk
in the same way #
# You seem to know that's
the fast way to my heart #
# Give me a thousand words #
# You gotta send out the message
for love to be heard #
# Hey baby #
# We need a translator #
# Somebody to say
Parlez vous Francais #
# That way #
# I won't lose the meaning #
# When you speak
the feeling in your heart #
# Give me a thousand words #
[car revving]
[intense music]
[shrill squeal]
(man on recorder)
Attention!
Attention, everybody.
You are in danger.
Serious danger, pal.
Now, turn it off.
Are you crazy?
This man is my guest.
Clark, please forgive him.
He's my manager.
He probably thought you're
a burglar. Didn't you?
Yeah.
(man on recorder) A bomb
will explode in 30 seconds.
An offer was made to buy
Boardwalk and Baseball.
When it was refused, a bomb was
detonated evidently by your man.
It appears he was
acting on your orders.
It would certainly seem so.
Is this your equipment?
Did I have anything to do
with your outrageous acts?
No, Judd.
No, no.
I'm gonna have to call
the police, Charles.
No.
(Judd) Operator, will
you get me the police?
Will you please
go in the house?
Clark, will you please
join the others?
Hello, police,
this is Judd Faust.
# What I want is stimulation #
# Coming from this heat #
Wasn't Clark supposed
to be here?
He went to tell Andy
that Charles
the guy who's been bothering
him, he's in jail now.
# Love can leave a scar
that will never show #
[intense music]
What's goin' on?
Getting drunk on the job?
Ha ha ha.
Violating your trust as
manager of this glorious park.
Causing the death
of innocent people.
[chuckling]
How happy your employers
are gonna be
to get rid of this
hard-luck property.
[laughing]
# Love can leave a scar
that will never show #
# A one-sided heart
it gets me physical #
# Is this love physical #
# One thing I insist #
# Life is about this #
# So tell me is it
love or is it sex #
[crowd applauding]
- Did you like it?
- Wonderful.
Almost a perfect day.
I'm gonna make it perfect.
Andy?
[theme music]
[screaming]
Are you okay?
Oh. I've been banged up
worse before.
Are you sure
you're okay?
As long as I never
see that guy again.
I thought
he was in jail.
What the..
(Charles)
Hey, put me down!
[screaming]
There's one last collection
I'm gonna show you.
Only special girls
get to see this, Lana.
[sighs]
You collect,
umtorture instruments?
(Judd)
No.
I collect the screams
of torture victims.
[screaming]
[mumbling]
Cut it out.
This isn't funny.
I don't like
this game, Judd.
- You'll get to like it.
- Judd!
- Where is Judd? Isn't he here?
- No.
Bet Andy was happy when you told
him that Charles is in jail.
He is now. Charles tried
to kill Andy on Judd's orders.
Let's call the police and let
them take it from, from here.
- What's the matter?
- It's Lana. She went with Judd.
Hey! Hey, wait for me.
Stop the instruments.
It's killing me.
I can't imagine the exquisite
pleasure you are gonna feel.
That we'll both feel.
When I put this
to my digital sampler
my next album
will be perfect.
[Lana screaming]
And that's..
Excellent. Excellent.
[Lana screaming]
Not quite as good as
the other three.
Put force.
Excellent. Excellent.
[screaming]
Two more twists.
(Lana)
Superboy, no!
(Lana) Judd said something like
not as good as the other three.
What happened to them?
You don't wanna know.
Yeah, I do.
The police found them.
They were buried
in the basement.
He's a collector alright.
Weirdo collector.
You know, I don't understand
the amusement park thing.
Why did he want
that so badly?
The police psychiatrist, he said
that he wanted it so badly
because he couldn't have it.
I guess an extreme
recession like that
can make a weirdo
out of anybody.
