The Adventures of Superboy (1988) s02e02 Episode Script

You should know
who I really am.
You wanna guess?
I don't know.
Your old school
chum, Lex Luthor.
Lex Luthor is forcing
me to marry him.
I object!
Superboy!
Right on schedule!
Ah-ah-ah-ah,
that's close enough
Superboy!
He's got the gun!
Say cheese!
You killed him!
That was the plan,
my dear wife.
He's still alive,
Professor.
But?
He'll never walk again.
My darling bride,
I promise you
a wedding night
to cherish in your memories.
This'll put the honey
in the honeymoon.
This is what I think
of our honeymoon!
You twisted, vicious--
you crippled super boy!
Yes, I can't tell you
how heartbroken I am about that.
I never intended
for him to live.
How can you have so
much hatred in you?
I don't hate you.
Haven't you ever
just cared about anyone?
Or were you
born a monster?
Well, once a long
time ago when I was
a little boy, I found
this puppy real sweet
cuddly little guy.
I loved that puppy.
I truly did.
So I broke his neck.
I feel so sorry
for you, Lex.
No, my dear,
it's I who feels sorry for you.
You're going
to pay for that.
No.
Superboy'll pay for that.
Superboy,
can you hear me?
Professor Peterson.
How do you feel?
Considering the circumstances,
terrible.
My powers
are mostly gone.
How am I gonna find
Lana and help her
without my
full powers?
Hey, this is what I'm hearing
from superboy,
you're giving up?
I'm getting you
out of here tomorrow and taking
you
to a rehabilitation center.
That's where you should be.
Not bad, not bad at all.
Nice tan.
Mcalister productions Andy
mcalister speaking.
Writer, producer, director.
Andy, what are you doing?
I'm casting for
this movie I wrote.
You're what?
Yeah, it's great!
Clark, you gotta get down here.
There's some
serious babes!
Andy, I'm going to be
away for a while.
This is very important.
I need you to cover for me,
for at least
a couple of weeks.
Now you gotta
let them know
down at the
Shuster Herald.
Well, what, are you
going away with Lana
for a little while?
No, no, no, that's
not it.
But I just can't tell you what
it's about right now.
Hey, no problem.
Big guy, it's cool, don't worry.
Uh did you hear
about Superboy?
He's supposed to be
in some serious trouble
in some hospital or something.
They're not saying a lot.
You
know anything?
No, I haven't found out much
about that.
Well, hey, if you do,
let me know, you know.
I hope he's okay.
I got a small part for him too.
Yeah, yeah I'll do that.
Hey--hey thanks, Andy.
Hey, no problem.
I've been watching you.
Yeah?
So what else is new?
I wanna hire you.
You wanna hire me?
I want you to be my assistant.
My escort.
Run a few errands.
That sort of thing.
A thousand a week?
Make it two thousand.
Honey, I've been
waiting for my ship
to come in, and, uh,
you just docked.
All aboard.
Some champagne,
my beloved?
Over your
dead body.
Hmm, I like that.
Hello?
Yeah, it's all set.
Oh, I wish I could
be there to see it.
I suppose I'd be
recognized.
All that trouble
to get a new face
wasted thanks
to Superboy.
And how are
we tonight?
Fine.
Good.
Da-da-da-daaa! Surprise!
Superboy!
I'm so glad you could drop in
for our wedding!
So sad you're missing
the reception.
But as you can see,
it's very swank,
very plush,
very romantic.
Perfect place to
begin a honeymoon,
don't you think?
I bet you wish you were here.
Hey, Superboy, watch this.
It's gonna take a
real man to give her
everything she deserves.
You know what I mean,
super wimp?
No!
None of it's true!
I hate him!
I'll never give in to him
Superboy!
I love it when you
play hard to get!
And oh, we're so sorry you can't
walk anymore,
but perhaps you can crawl!
-Maybe you're crawling
right now. -Lana!
-Crawl.
Crawl. -Lana!
-Crawl!
-No!
You're nothing.
You're broken and useless
and wasted,
and I've got your girl!
-Da-da-da-daaa!
-Lana! No!
And there's nothing
you can ever do
to get her back!
No!
And the state police haven't
been able
to find out
anything either?
Well, they've called
in the FBI,
and they're following up every
lead they can.
We've gotta find Lana.
And we've gotta get
my powers back.
What if we can't do it?
What if I'm like this
for the rest of my life?
Hey, I've never heard
you like this.
I'm here to help you,
I'm here to help you
find a way out of this.
But if our therapy is to work,
you've got to pull yourself
together.
Hey!
I tell ya.
The nurses told me.
The doctor told me.
Now I see it
and I still don't believe it.
I'm Wally Jones.
I know who you are.
I understand you're
going into rehab
right away.
Yeah.
Eh, good choice.
That's what I did.
You got a good doctor here,
Superboy.
You work hard,
and you're gonna do it.
Looking at you
gives me a lot
more hope than I had
five minutes ago.
Okay.
Just promise me one thing.
Name it.
When you're flying again,
take a spin for me.
You got it.
Superboy, one question, please.
What do the doctors
say about
your condition?
Oh, Superboy!
Superboy, do you know of Lana
LAN's whereabouts?
Oh, how nice!
Your old boyfriend!
Is that a sad face I see
on the Boy of Steel?
Aw, is him sad?
Would you just
stop it, Lex?
Lana, I have a big surprise!
Darla, Lana.
Lana, Darla.
Darla's our new friend. She's
going to be staying with us.
She's very sweet, very nice,
very playful, very inventive.
Maybe Darla can teach Lana some
of our new little naughty games.
Well, she's just your
type, Lex.
I can just imagine what kind
of games she plays.
Hey, look!
You don't know who you're
messing with
here, chick!
Look, I'm really not
in a good mood.
Ladies, ladies, ladies!
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, woman.
No, woman.
Now, now, now, now, now.
Shh.
Well, now that
you two have gotten
know each other
a little better,
I'm sure we're gonna get along
just fine.
Just fine!
Darling Darla, luscious Lana,
and lovable Lex.
A nice, happy family.
Life is sweet.
Well, I'm afraid
we're gonna have
to leave for a while, my dear.
Darla and I
have some business to attend to.
Some
fun business.
This is a portable model
of the superboy gun.
I designed it
myself before
my untimely resignation
at Eckworth Industries.
It's a surprise
for Superboy.
You think
he'll like it?
In five, four, three,
two, one!
If you please?
Thank you.
Good evening, and welcome to
news break.
The infamous Lex Luthor and his
new bride,
the former Lana Lang are
enjoying a fabulous honeymoon.
Seems
the happy couple just
can't get enough
of each other.
Meanwhile superboy,
that bastion of truth
and justice is just twiddling
his thumbs.
We're gonna send you
a get well card!
Look at him, how he's tormenting
me like this!
Luthor's on
the rampage
while I'm sitting
here useless!
You're making progress.
It's not good enough.
I've gotta find out
where he is and get
to him.
Wait a minute the tape.
That's it, the tape.
What are you
talking about?
The video tape
Luthor made!
It was taken where
he's holding Lana.
So?
If I had my full
powers back,
I could scrutinize
the tape.
There's gotta be something
in it that can help us.
But your powers
are still weakened.
That's why I've
gotta get them back.
I wanna try
the wood again.
Try this.
Heh, hey!
We're getting something.
To enjoy this moment
of joy, and oh,
we're so sorry you can't
walk anymore.
Wait a minute.
Go back.
Right there.
Very well, hope you enjoy this
moment of joy.
It's, it's funny Lana's
eyes are blinking.
Almost in rhythm.
Like some kind of code.
I can hardly see her
eyes moving at all.
It's right there.
She's trying to tell us
where she is in morse code.
F-I-F-T-H!
Fifth and cypress! That's
it! Way to go, Lana!
A visitor at this hour?
Go see who it is.
I'm here
for Lex Luthor.
Superboy!
What a delightful surprise!
This is a citizen's arrest,
I'm taking you in.
A citizen's arrest?
Well, well, well, look at you.
Regular
iron sides.
I watch all the reruns.
My, my, my,
but you're looking well,
Superboy.
You been copping some
rays, have you?
You murdered Warren Eckworth,
and then assumed his appearance.
So I did.
So I did.
And Leo, your friend.
Leo?
My friend.
I have no friends.
Never did.
Never will.
And if you've harmed
Lana, so help me, I'll--
You'll what?
I think you've lost the use
of your brain as
well as your legs.
What did you possibly hope to
accomplish
by coming here like this,
you pathetic weakling?
You're taking all
the fun out of it!
Oh, well. I guess love
does strange things.
So it does.
But I really came here
to record your murder confession
on tape.
My confession?
That's rich.
That's rich.
Well, I certainly
hope you enjoyed it
because you're the only one
that's ever gonna get to hear it.
So long, Superboy!
You been
a barrel of laughs.
Oh, Lex.
I was only ki--
I don't believe this.
Lex Luthor actually got
his electrocution
date pushed up.
Andy, do you mind
just changing
the subject, okay?
It's a difficult time
for all of us, Lana.
Sure is weird all right.
I don't feel very
good at all.
Do you have
any last words?
Just my prayers.
Bless me, Father,
for I have sinned.
Lex, this is really dangerous.
What if it
doesn't work?
It's got to work!
Thanks for the memories, Warden.
I've had
a lovely time.
My compliments
to the chef.
No, no, no, wait, wait, wait!
No please!
Please don't do it yet!
Oh no please! Please!
I don't wanna die!
Oh, God, no! No, please.
Please, no! No! No! No!
Gotcha!
I didn't think it was
gonna work. Oh, Lex!
Oh, you're really hurt!
I hope I never have
to do this again!
Don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
At least not until
this wears off.
How do you
like the car?
I like everything
about today!
