The Adventures of Superboy (1988) s02e05 Episode Script
Nightmare Island
1
Just sit right back
and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of a fateful trip
that started from a tropic
port aboard a tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty
sailor man,
the skipper
brave and sure.
Three passengers set sail
that day for a three hour tour,
a three hour tour.
Andy, if you sing
that song once more,
I'm going to take
your tongue
and nail it
to this dock, okay?
Okay.
This is great, Andy.
A lot better
than I thought.
Real nice, Andy.
Guys, it's over here.
This?
This is the incredible boat
my friend lent us
for the weekend?
Well, it is kinda small.
So, I called Donald trump
and he wasn't in his office
so I had to call
my poor friend.
We have a boat.
This is not a boat.
This is something that's
floating in the water
right next to all
the rest of the boats.
I am not getting
in this thing.
Lana, what's the problem?
It's not like
it's the Titanic.
Listen, Andy says he's pretty
good with boats,
and we have life preservers,
and we're only going out
for the day.
I'm still game.
Okay, if you can
do it, so can I.
Yeah.
Just sit right back
and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of a fateful trip
that started from a tropic port
aboard a tiny ship.
So, Andy, how come I don't hear
you singing now?
Oh, it was my fault?
That's great.
It was my fault.
No, no, better yet,
I planned it like this.
I thought gee, wouldn't it be
nice if we all ended up
on this island together?
Well, gee, the coast guard's
got to hear
the signal from
the emergency radio.
I mean, at least until I dropped
it in the water.
Kind of a strange
place, isn't it?
Let me go check over there
and see what I can find out.
So, looks like it's just
you and me, alone,
this deserted island.
How about you
MeNo way.
Superboy?
Whoa, what timing.
How'd you spot us?
I got a coast guard report
about a distress call
on the radio.
Good old Clark.
I'll take you first, Lana.
I'll come back for Andy.
Clark went
around those trees.
I'll come back for him.
Oh!
It came from over
there somewhere.
I saw it.
Are you okay?
I can't fly.
That beam of light must have
drained my powers.
Well, whatever was in
the bushes, it's gone.
Something out there
threw that rock
and it was aiming for me.
What is going
on around here?
It's weird.
And Clark, why hasn't
he come back yet?
It looks like we're going to be
here for a while.
We'd better build
shelter for the night.
Yeah, trapped here,
when whatever that was
is out there.
Ha-ha-ha-ha,
she has come.
She has come for me, but I must
kill the others first.
Ha-ha-ha!
Okay, this is good.
Me helping you
break a branch.
I've got to find out
what's on this island.
It may be the only way
I'll get my powers back.
You think Clark is okay?
He's not exactly set
when survival instincts
are brought up,
you know what I'm saying?
Clark?
Is that you?
Andy?
Superboy?
Ah!
It went that way.
You're hurt bad, man.
I'm going after it.
ButYou can't go
after it alone, can you?
No.
It went around that way.
I'm right behind ya.
We got a visitor, Andy.
Ah!
-Stay calm.
-Stay calm?
Stay calm, I can't stay calm
when I'm about to die!
Just lift it up.
Try now.
Thanks, Andy.
Don't mention it.
We'd better go get Lana.
Yeah, all right.
Lana!
Lana, you're not
gonna believe
what happened
Lana?
Oh, no.
Don't tell me
what that is.
It's blood.
That creature took Lana.
Let's try over there.
You shiver.
I will not harm you.
Get that away from me.
You do not like the food
I brought you?
No.
This is not food.
Please let me go.
But I have waited
so long for you to come.
Others have come,
but none had the glorious hair
of crimson.
I waited so long
for the red one to come.
What is it
that you want?
Years ago, when I crashed
on this island,
my mate died.
I'm sorry.
I've been alone
here ever since.
And how long
has that been?
Two hundred years.
But you will be
my mate now.
Look, you just can't
take what you want.
Yes, I can.
That is the way.
Well, not with me
it isn't.
You've hurt someone that
I care about very much.
The suited one.
He was very strong.
He wanted to take
you away from me.
I couldn't let him do that,
so I took his power
with my super
sensor machine.
Hmm, hmm.
Now, I have
enough power
to leave this planet
and take you with me.
But you needn't worry.
I've taken care
of the two.
I've killed them both.
We never came
to hurt you!
Why would you do this?
Why would you
hurt others?
That is the way.
That is what I know.
Ha-ha-ha!
Wha!
Ah!
Oh, God,
I hate spiders.
You all right?
Yeah.
Look at this.
Oh, my God.
Do you think
that creature hurt Lana?
Well, he took her
for some reason.
It's like a scavenger.
Do you think all these
dead people were, like,
shipwrecked
on the island?
I'm not so sure there's
an island at all.
Oh, are you okay?
That door has got
an electrical charge.
It knows we're here.
They live.
I will let them in
and you will see how good I am
as a warrior, what a strong
warrior I am.
No.
Look, you've got
another chance.
We've done
nothing to you.
Ah, but you have.
You've come
onto my island.
Just a little more.
Ah.
You think she's
down there?
We're gonna go find out.
Come on down, Andy.
Come, come closer.
What is it?
Watch this.
We're not invited guests.
They got through.
Can't you see we're not here
to hurt you?
Ah!
But you may not speak.
Ah!
I want no warning
for them.
Lana!
Are you okay?
Ah!
Andy, look out!
How could you betray me?
I wasn't going
to hurt you.
I didn't betray you.
Don't you understand?
You've hurt people.
I never hurt anyone.
The suited one
has defeated me
and it is law
on my planet
to drain my life force.
No, I don't believe
in taking life.
I'll make a deal.
You give me back my powers,
but you must leave
and never return
to this planet.
But if I give you
your power back,
I will not have enough fuel
for my escape pod.
I can help if I have
my full powers.
Hey, I hope now
you understand
our customs
here on earth.
I do understand.
There's the coast guard.
They must have gotten
the message Clark sent.
Speaking of Clark, why haven't
we found him yet?
I did.
He's on the other side
of those trees.
Hmm, wait till he hears
what he missed, huh?
I've got to go.
Bye, Lana.
Thanks, Andy.
Is he great or what?
Yeah.
Um, you know,
I wasn't so bad myself.
No, Andy,
you weren't.
-Hey, guys!
-Clark!
Boy, am I glad
you guys are safe.
Where have you been?
And you are not
gonna believe
what happened to me.
And look at
these shells I found.
See this one?
This one I had to climb up
on a rock to get that one.
And a jellyfish!
I mean, you
wouldn't believe it.
I mean, I almost
stepped on a jellyfish.
Could you believe
how dangerous that was?
So, how did you
guys make out?
Well, umNot as exciting
as your adventure.
No.
