The Adventures of Superboy (1988) s02e26 Episode Script

The Woman Called Tiger Eye

You got something
for an old lady?
Well, give it to me.
The crystal has traveled
thousands of Miles
through the pyrenees mountains
and the Congo.
There have
been many risks.
I put a great
value on my life.
Give it to me.
Where the rest
you filthy old hag?
No one cheats me.
You should learn to respect your
elders.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Oo
Woo hoo, woo hoo.
Ah, what a warm roof
for the homeless will do.
Business before
pleasure, my pets.
The last of the crystals
of the ancient druid priests.
At last my years
of searching are finally over.
Haven't I told you never
to touch without asking?
Each crystal has
a power of its own
but the ultimate power belongs
to whoever can
fuse all
the crystals into one.
How are you going
to do it, Tiger Eye?
It takes temperatures greater
than the sun.
I don't get it.
How are you going
to go there?
When genetics gave you that
gorgeous body,
I guess something
had to be missing.
The answer is right here
in our own backyard.
Superboy.
Yes, that's right; he could do
it with his heat vision.
Yes and I have studied that
gorgeous hunk of man.
But come on, you could never get
Superboy to help you.
Denny, you talk too much.
Now, we're just going
to have to do something
about that, aren't we?
Poor, poor Denny.
Nowback to the fun.
How am I to my plan to get this
gorgeous Superboy
to do my bidding?
All I need is this Lana Lang
girl to do it.
AndSuperboy is mine.
Lana?
Listen, I know you probably
think
that I'm not really interested
in art
and the only reason I'm doing
this is to see
all the foxy models
posing in the buff,
but it's not true.
Well, I believe anyone can
experience an artistic
awakening and learn
to really appreciate
the beauty in life.
Yeah, yeah, that's exactly it,
it's the awakening thing.
That's why I transferred
from meteorology
to life drawing.
Andy, you're
gonna love it.
The human body is
a beautiful thing.
Absolutely.
Have you ever
seen such a body
so perfectly sculpted?
Look at those
supple muscles.
Aren't you inspired?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Um, listen, Lana, just between
you and me
you know artist to artist when
do you think we'll
draw females?
Oh, didn't I tell you?
That's next semester.
Oh.
Nice work.
Oh!
I didn't mean
to startle you.
What are you doing here?
I need to ask you a favor.
I was wondering if you could
cover my history
class for me?
I'm not going
to be able to make it.
I have to cover that museum
opening
that Superboy's
gonna be at.
I'll see you guys later.
-Bye.
-See ya.
This is the third time in two
weeks I've covered
for you so you could go
out and do a story on Superboy.
I really appreciate it.
Clark, you're hopeless.
What am I gonna
do with you?
Excuse me, I'd
like to talk to you.
Me?
Oh, ah, oh, sure I'd like
to talk to you, too.
Bye, Clark.
All right, now let's just get
out of these clothes.
The students are waiting.
Come on.
But you don't understand!
Oh, relax.
You'll get used to everybody
watching you naked.
Uh, Lana, where
are you going?
She has a date with me.
Yeah, I have
a date with him.
What about
your midterm?
Why don't we
get rid of him?
Okay, bye-bye.
ButAh!
Oh, he go swoosh.
Excuse me.
Clark?
Look out for the car!
Clark, are you okay?
Yeah, yeah, just
a few bruises.
Under the trance she told us
this Clark Kent guy
knows how to
contact Superboy.
She gave us Kent's number.
Where am I?
My, my, my, what
a pretty young thing.
Too bad you're not going to grow
up to be old.
I don't know what it is you want
but when Superboy
finds out I'm missing
he'll come after you.
Yes, he will won't he?
Especially since I
intend to extend him
a personal invitation.
What are you
talking about?
Oh, we are curious
aren't we?
I'm going to ask Superboy to do
me a little itty bitty favor.
Oh, no.
You're not gonna
use me as bait.
I already have.
You know, you remind me
a lot of me when I was your age.
Feisty with a temperament like
a, like a snake.
Yes, yes, a snake.
It would be very,
very fitting.
What are you doing?
My, how I love cold slithery
wicked things.
Clark, she hasn't
called or anything.
I'm worried.
-Hello.
-Clark?
Lana!
You've got to help.
Where are you?
Are you all right?
Where is she?
I'm in trouble, Clark.
I got away from them
long enough to call.
You've got
to find Superboy.
I'm in an underground
lab beneath
the Old Industrial Park.
Under the old kenson building,
I know where that is.
Don't worry, Lana.
I'll find him.
What?
Andy, you stay here
in case she calls back.
Wait,
I'm coming with
What's with this door?
Ow, oh, ow!
Whoa!
Okay, all right.
Hah!
Aw, not hungry?
Guess you still prefer filet
mignon, huh?
Ah!
Oo hoo.
Oo hoo.
Hmm.
Where's Lana?
How impatient
you are, Superboy.
Come on, Lana.
Come and say hello
to your hero.
Yes.
I think you two
should meet again.
Snake, this is Superboy.
Superboy, this is snake.
What is this
some kind of joke?
No, no, no joke.
This is a snake and her
name is Lana Lang.
Not as attractive as she once
was but she'll make
a wonderful pet.
How could you turn
Lana into a snake?
Oh, it's very simple if
you have the answers.
And the crystal.
Nowdo you believe me?
What do you
want from me?
I want you to do
a very simple task.
I need you to fuse all
the crystals together into one.
Not a chance.
Now, this is acid.
Don't make me do something that
you'll regret.
Please, fuse them?
Fuse them.
For centuries the great
alchemists have sought
to create the greatest most
powerful crystal of all.
They always failed.
But now, thanks to you,
Superboy, it belongs to me.
Maybe not.
Now, you appreciate power,
Superboy.
You can realize why only you
remain a threat to me.
Go ahead, Tiger Eye,
finish him off!
No, I think you need to go back
to the way you were.
I thought you needed me.
Need?
I need no one now.
I'll miss him.
You're a man of power.
I'm a woman of passion.
Together we can
rule the world.
Join me, Superboy.
Forget it.
You can't resist.
After all, it was your power
that created the crystal.
Come on, join me.
Come with me, Superboy.
I'm yours, Tiger Eye.
Let's go
somewhere remote,
somewhere we can
plan our conquest of the world.
I know a place near
Shuster Gardens.
Let's fly there together.
Lana?
Hi, Lana, it's just me.
Okay, come on, babe.
We gotta get out of here.
OoYou never really hugged me
like that
when you were
a girl did you?
Appreciate the affection
but just go out with me
when this is all done.
Well, let's get to the park.
Oo, you do know
how to please a girl.
I don't know how we're
going to help, Superboy.
You're a snake.
And I've only
got a C average.
The park, pull over.
Ordinary coal
Is now a diamond.
Oo, how nice and so simple.
What do we have here?
Serpent in our garden?
Superboy is mine now.
It's now or never, Superboy.
Snap out of it, Superboy.
It's mine.
We've got to stop her!
This little romance is over,
Tiger Eye.
I don't think so.
You have a strange way
of showing affection.
Well, you know what they say
about a woman scorned.
You had your chance.
My heart is turned
to ice and so will you.
Well, good-bye, my love.
Parting is such
sweet sorrow.
Superboy, catch!
There's no telling what those
new crystals'll do.
I just hope there's a way
to bring Lana back.
All right, Superboy,
that must have broken the spell!
No!
All my crystals!
No!
Wow.
I guess those new crystals did
that to her.
At least she's still alive.
Hey, isn't that that guy that
she turned into a vulture?
They're together now.
I'd better dispose of these.
Well, Lana, what did it feel
like to be a snake?
Probably no
different than being
Andy McAlister.
