The Adventures of Superboy (1988) s02e16 Episode Script
Run, Dracula, Run
1
Oh, good. This stuff is great.
Not here. In the car.
No, I've got
That's my medicine.
You wouldn't like me
without my medicine.
Aahhh.
Unh. Umh.
You scum.
Don't you know it's wrong
to take drugs?
What are you?
No. Give it
No!
Unh.
Hello.
Byron?
You sound terrible.
Are you all right?
I've lost my serum.
All of it.
And I'm slipping back.
I can already feel it.
The craving.
You've got to resist it.
Is there anything
I can do to help?
Tell Superboy.
He has to stop me
before it's too late.
I am losing control.
Tell him that
I'm losing control.
Byron?
Aaahhhh.
You know, Lana, if I were you,
I'd wait 'til Clark
got home, so he could tell
Superboy.
This town that Byron
called from,
that's a long way away.
It's a long drive when
you're sticking your neck out.
I owe him.
If it wasn't for Byron,
I would
Yeah, yeah, I know.
You would have gotten bit
by a vampire.
But without his medicine,
there's nothing
stopping him from turning
into one, too.
Lana, for all you know,
he could be driving
around this town
in his very own bloodmobile.
He knows I'm a friend.
He's not gonna hurt me.
Well, I'm off.
Wish me luck.
Lana.
If you wanted, I could come.
You know.
Great.
Great. All right,
listen, but I'm not going
vampire hunting
empty handed.
I'll tell you what,
I'll meet you downstairs
in an hour.
Okay. Thanks.
You're a real sweetie.
Hear that, big guy?
I'm a sweetie.
Huh. Now who's the hero?
Just don't take too long, huh.
Love funeral homes.
Do you think he's in here?
Yo, Byron.
Hello.
Oh, hello, Ma.
Yeah, it's good
to hear from you.
Don't be afraid, Andy.
It'll be fine.
Afraid.
Lana, my dear,
I have come to terms with death.
Oh.
Bingo.
Hey, hey.
This is man's work.
Great.
Death. Haha.
Hello, Lana.
I hate funeral homes.
Part of me wanted you
when we first met.
Then Superboy
stood between us.
Now, it's different.
Now, I can offer you
something he can't.
Eternal youth, Lana.
And love.
A love no mortal woman
can ever imagine.
Ma, I do go out on dates
with Lana.
Study dates.
But how many times
have I told you?
She thinks she's in love
with Superboy.
I know that you want to be
with me, forever, Lana.
And all that you must say is,
yes.
Yes.
This is not good.
No, this is not good.
Lana, this is definitely bad.
Lana?
Lana is indisposed.
Whoa, Byron.
Gee, we didn't wake you up,
did we?
You know, if you wanna
catch some zzz's,
I didn't mess with your box
or anything.
You should never have come.
Now hold it.
We both know what happens
when you smell this.
Only the weakest among us
can be repelled
with the likes of that.
Who do you think
you're playing with?
Yuh, okay.
How about this, huh?
My turn now, bloodsucker.
A cross is a most potent weapon,
Andrew.
But only as potent as the will
behind it.
And your will
is no match for mine.
Uh.
I'll try.
I promise.
Bye.
Are you all right?
Yeah.
Where's Lana?
You didn't see her?
Stay right there.
Superboy, be careful.
Watch your back.
Lana.
Superboy.
It's all right, I'm here.
You always show up
just when I need you.
And now you need me,
don't you?
You want me.
Lana.
You were perfect.
It was so easy.
Well, those who love us
usually make the best prey.
But what about his powers?
Why did he succumb?
Not even Superboy is immune
to the supernatural.
Soon, he will begin to turn.
And when he awakens,
he'll be part of the fold.
Now I know
what I must do.
And you will help me.
Lana.
The sun never used to hurt
like this before.
Soon, it will be fatal.
As the curse
progresses,
we will only be able
to go into the darkness.
What's it like to be undead?
First you must die
with a second bite.
That is the final baptism
that makes a vampire whole.
And it is only with that
you can rise again.
You'll crave
the darkness,
shun the daylight.
You'll stalk humans
and then drink their blood.
You'll be forever young,
forever beautiful.
Forever mine.
Aaaaahhhhhh,
aaahhhh!
Do you really think
I'm gonna believe that
cockamamie story about a doctor
who's a vampire?
You can sell that one
for the movies.
Okay. All right.
Look at it this way.
Byron Shelley is just a guy
with a medical condition.
Like a diabetic
without his Insulin.
If he doesn't have his serum,
he goes crazy.
This never
would have happened
if he didn't have
his bag stolen.
My father is sending for us
tonight.
It's all arranged.
He answered your message.
Oh, I knew that he would.
Ever since the day that
my mother took me away
from him, he's never stopped
looking for me.
I told him about you, Lana.
He seemed pleased.
I also told him that I was
bringing a peace offering
that he would not
be able to refuse.
Superboy.
I gave it back to him,
I gave that back.
He say, "you're not gonna
like me off my medicine."
"You won't like me."
So I had to give it back.
That it?
Yeah. Thanks.
So where'd you get it?
That guy back there in the cage
gave it to us.
He said some man put some kind
of voice in his head
last night.
This voice kept telling him
to turn himself in.
Shot his girlfriend.
Byron did it.
It's a power
that vampires have.
They do it with their eyes.
Don't start up again.
Sonny, maybe you ought to talk
to Floyd.
Let me guess.
Floyd runs a barber shop, right?
Telegraph.
Said a young man come in
this morning,
picked up a telegram
and you ain't gonna believe
where it come from.
Look at you.
The more you struggle,
the weaker you get.
No.
Heat in my blood.
What it's doing to me.
It's like a sensation
I've never felt before.
I know.
I don't want it to end.
Make it last forever.
You hear that, superboy?
Lana is anxious for death.
How about you?
Are you ready?
He approves of you, Lana.
We are being invited aboard.
You're coming too, Superboy.
But it will be my father's bite
that renders you undead.
You will be my gift to him.
And you will ride
with the baggage.
What is it?
Something's wrong.
He's resisting my father.
Aaaahhhhh.
Aaaggghhh.
No one defies the holy force
of my father.
I will if you take Lana.
Byron.
Lana.
Superboy.
I'm over here, Andy.
Oh, nice dress.
Listen, I got this telegraph
from Transylvania and
Give her juice.
Take care of her.
Aaahhhh.
We've got a score to settle.
Nobody hurts Lana.
Superboy, no.
That's not your way.
Andy, give me the serum.
YouYou fought back.
You really weren't
under the spell.
You, my friend,
are a force so good,
not even the power of my father
could overcome.
Don't lose this.
No, I won't.
Thank you, Andrew.
No problem.
My serum will cure both of you
completely.
What about you?
I was born with the blood
of my father in my veins.
My cure is a different matter.
Goodbye, Lana.
Where will you go?
I have to keep running.
Now, he'll never stop
searching for me.
Byron, who's your father?
My father
is the Prince of Darkness.
He is Count Dracula.
