The Adventures of Superboy (1988) s02e11 Episode Script
The Power of Evil
How can this
have happened?
It was in the box
for thousands of years,
building its power,
its strength.
It was time.
We should have known.
The evil power
will be looking
for the greatest
forces in this world.
It will want to destroy
all that is good,
all that stands for right.
There is a great being.
His name is Superboy.
He lives on the northern
continent.
Ah, the evil power
will find this Superboy.
It will destroy him.
Unless you find
this boy first.
Give him the secret
to defeat the evil power
that has escaped from us.
He will have
use this potion.
It contains the blood
of our fathers.
Otherwise,
he will have no chance
of defeating the evil.
Yes, I will find the boy.
I will not fail.
Remember, you may only
guide this Superboy.
He alone will have
to fight the power.

Surprised me, too--
I always figured
Seth thought of you
as obnoxious.
Obnoxious?
You know Seth and I
have been going out
for a while.
Well, listen, you think
what you wanna think,
but a guy knows
what a guy knows.
Hey jerk, watch your step.
"Jerk," huh?
Of my name.
You got a problem?
Oh, now we have your
sister defending you.
To give these guys
some trouble.
Lana, wait--
Of jerks like you
pushing people around.
So what are you
gonna do about it,
make a phone call?
I have a quarter.
Hey!
Wow, yeah!
All right!
That was phenomenal,
that was really great.
Ah, you know, I wish
Clark had been here,
like--well, like me,
you know?
We are a team, babe.
You and me,
like well-oiled gears.
You know,
I got the brains,
on the mat.
Nice job, Andy.
Ow.
Very good, Marcia.
It takes many
years of practice
to become proficient
in the art of karate.
This is your first
time at class.
No kidding.
Hi.
I thought you were
supposed to flip someone
that sneaks up on you.
Sometimes the best
defense is no defense.
Come on, you lovebirds.
That I can
participate in, huh?
I really would
like to meet him,
you might have
about Superboy.
Your rules, remember?
Listen, you wanna
talk about Superboy,
you?
Oh, yeah, uh, Clark talks
to him, you know,
really?
You spend a lot
of time with him?
So tell me, do you
ever get in touch
with Superboy?
But yes, once in a while
I pick up the phone
and, yes, magic happens.
Yeah, sure.
L-Lana?
Clark gonna show up,
or what?
I mean, he said he was
gonna try and make it.
Well, you know,
I lent him my car,
and if he hurts my caddy--
Excuse me, officer,
what happened here?
You better stay back.
You are Clark Kent.
I am looking for someone.
Do you know
what did this?
They call superboy.
I know where
to find Superboy.
He must meet me
tonight,
at the place
of many heavens.
Whoa!
OhNice.
Nice for the ego.
This is your first
lesson, Andy.
People twice your size.
Class dismissed.
I have to go over
with my accountant
here at the studio.
For over three weeks now.
Is something wrong?
Strange lately.
Business is business, Lana.
Have an extra ticket
or something inside.
Okay, I was busy
tonight anyway!
Flossing my cat
or something.
YeahYeah,
list-listen, um,
thanks a lot
for the lessons, huh?
Sure, no problem.
Entrer.
-Is Clark here?
-Uh, no, sorry.
I called the studio,
I called his apartment,
all I know is we had
something really good
I mean, I finally find
a guy who I think
can take my mind
off Superboy,
and he turns out
just like the rest of them.
Hey.
It will try to find you
through people
close to you.
Ah, it also possesses
bodies,
and can learn
through what they see.
It has no shape,
and yet it has all shapes.
It cannot be seen,
yet it corrupts
the physical universe.
It is very powerful.
But with this potion,
you can win.
But you must
use this potion.
Without it, the evil force
is all-powerful.
The evil must be
put in the box.
How will I find it?
It will find you.
Pray for me,
pray for my wretched,
wretched soul.
Ah!
Where is he?
Where is the one
they call Superboy?
AhAh!
Andy!
Clark?
Ugh
Andy, are you all right?
UghUgh
That was the weirdest
thing I ever saw.
All I saw was-was papers
flying all over the place.
And there was this voice.
There was this voice.
It was asking
for Superboy.
Lana, I dream about.
Lana--do you know
where she is right now?
Yeah, she, um, she went
to catch Seth at his studio.
Or something
like that and, uh
Okay, roomie?
Seth?
Is anyone here?
Seth?
You lied to me.
Then when?
I really thought
you cared about me.
You gotta believe that.
The being you knew
as Seth is no more.
I have just devoured
his soul.
Now I am strong enough
to rid myself
of this human husk.
Now there is no need
to seek Superboy out.
I can sense his presence
growing near.
Lana!
You carry
the astral box.
I know what you are.
Knowing will not
help you.
You are a powerful
champion
who fights for good,
Superboy.
But you are still
no match for me.
Oh yeah?
I am a force even you
cannot reckon with.
I am evil incarnate!
Stop it!
I have waited thousands
of years for this battle.
No!
Once I destroy you,
there will be
no force on earth left
to stand in my way.
Evil will run rampant
as never before!
Each time I attack,
the power of my evil grows,
and the good in you
grows weaker.
Ha-ha-ha!
Leave him alone!
This is one battle
you cannot win.
Lana!
The potion!
Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha!
Argh!
The evil has been
vanquished.
You have saved
millions of people
from needless suffering.
Not everyone.
Not even your shoulders
can carry the weight
of each life as it crosses
your path, Superboy.
You are aware
of the terms?
Yes.
Wanted me to return
his body to your valley.
Well, here in our realm,
life and death
are mere states of mind.
Can he ever return?
As soon as he steps
out of the valley, he perishes.
Seth must always
remain with us now.
He is the keeper
of the box.
Here in this land,
they tell me
I can live forever.
I guess I should be happy.
You will be, Lana.
If she had
decided to stay,
would you have
still brought her?
Yes.
You care for her
more than she knows.
Thank you.
