LANA [ON PA]:
Whether you're riding
the surf at Waikiki,

or dodging smaller deluges
at poolside,

you'll be doing it in L.L.'s
new swimwear this summer.

Boldly cut
and physique-friendly,

L.L. lets you step out
of your boring business clothes

and become the person
that you really are.

Turning to
the fall season,

L.L. offers a complete line
of showstoppers.

I can't believe we're
getting paid to do this.

Covering some fashion show?

That's why I became
a reporter, Jimmy.

Come on, Clark.

You can't tell me
you're not excited

about interviewing
Darci Mason.

She's only
a model.

Besides, what's there
to talk about? Eyeliner?

And now, the face of the year,

the feature model
of L.L.'s

summer swimwear
campaign,

Miss Darci
Mason.

[CAMERAS
CLICKING]

[MURMURING]

WOMAN:
Here she is.

Watch out, Clark.

You're gonna burn a hole
in those glasses.

What do you mean?

JIMMY:
Well, the way you're
staring at her.

Or is it just
the suit?

[BOAT HORN HONKS]

Check out these guys.

Hey.
You can't--

[GRUNTING]

What?
What? Hey.

[MUTTERING]

MAN:
What is this all about?

WOMAN:
Well-- Now...

[GRUNTS]

I've got a feeling
this isn't part of the show.

Gotta get out
of here.

This sure beats eyeliner,
doesn't it, Clark?

Clark?

WOMAN 2:
Somebody do something.

[WHIMPERS]

WOMAN 2:
Frank, I wanna
get out of here.

[SCREAMS]

[THUD]

[GASPS]

Robots?

[COCKS]

[GASPS]

[GRUNTING]

I had a feeling
you'd show up.

I was in the neighborhood.

DARCI:
Help!

[WHIMPERING]

[SCREAMS]

[GRUNTING]

CLARK:
This couldn't have been
some random kidnapping.

And she knows
more about it

than she told the police.

I'm sure of it.

That's Darci.

She takes reticence
to a whole new plateau.

[♪♪♪]

Oh, Darci,
Darci.

So beautiful.

Soon you'll be all mine.

Yippee, yee-haw!

[BARKS]

[TOY g*nshots]

[BELL RINGS]

[BELL RINGS]

[GASPS]

Don't tell me, sheriff.
I can guess.

Superman?

What's this?

[INHALES LOUDLY]

Oh, Darci.

The Ridgemont. Room 1002.

No photos, no letters.

Not a hint of her past.

What's your story, Darci?

I know these girls have to
watch their figures,

but not even a diet soda?

DARCI:
Hungry?
Ahh.

Didn't I see you
at the fashion show?

You some kind of stalker?

No. I'm
a reporter.

Even worse.

At least stalkers are
honest about what they do.

I'm also a friend
of Lana's.

She and I want to help you.

I'm a big girl, and I can
take care of myself.

Believe me.

After what happened
yesterday,

I'm a little
skeptical--

[DISTANT BOOMING]

What's that?

[COGS RATTLING]

Get back.

[SCREAMS]

[MOANS]

[MOANING]

[GASPS]

[GRUNTING]

[GROANING]

[SCREAMS]

[GRUNTING]

Hey, lady, you can't
park there.

It's for
emergencies only.

Your definition of emergency
is way too limited.

[CRASHING]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Him again.

It appears
we have a rival.

Now, now,
no need to curse, Teddy.

We'll take care
of Superman in due time.

Nobody's going to come
between my Darci and me.

[SIGHS]

You work
too hard, girl.

[♪♪♪]

That's some
makeover.
[GASPS]

Who are you, Darci?

What are you?

Do you remember a doll
they used to make?

The Darci doll?

I thought
you would.

When you were a child,

it was every little girl's
favorite.

I'll bet you had
the entire collection.

You're right.

No wonder I chose you
for my star model.

But where did
you come from?

Winslow Schott's toy factory.

The Toyman?

He wanted a companion.

Someone with whom
he could share his life.

Hasn't he ever heard of
the personals?

You don't understand.

He kept me prisoner
in that arcade,

like I was something
you wind up or plug in.

There's so much to see
in the world, so much to do,

and all Winslow wanted
was to play with toys.

I have to stop him
once and for all, Lana.

I wasn't supposed
to feel this way.

I wasn't supposed
to feel anything, but I do.

I guess he made me
too perfect.

Darci--
[GASPS]

[BEEPING]

Hello? Police?

[GASPS]

[FIRE CRACKLING]

[GASPS]

[expl*si*n]

[COUGHING]

Cover your ears.

I was trying to
find Darci.

Lucky for me.

She was here all right.

But now she's at the pier
looking for Toyman.

Toyman? Did he do this?

No. This was
Darci.

There's something
about her

you should know.

[DOG BARKING]

[FOOTSTEPS]

[CRUNCHING]

BOTH:
Halt.

Friend or foe?

TOYMAN:
Darci.

You couldn't leave me alone,

could you, Winslow?

You were made
for me, Darci.

You know that.

You may have given
me life, Winslow,

but I am not going to settle
for this miserable existence.

[COCKS]

I...can't.

Of course you can't.

You could never hurt me.

I want to...

so badly.

[GROANS]

It's not part of
your program, my love.

You don't have the circuitry.

[SCREAMS]

This time things
will be different.

Everything will be
just perfect.

And I can make it
that way

with a few small adjustments.

I'll never love you. Never.

I know there's a place

for me in your heart.

I just have to find it.

BOTH:
Halt. Friend or foe?

Foe.

I know why you're here.

You want Darci for yourself.

That's not true, Schott.

Well, I built her,
and she's mine.

But nothing's
worth having

unless you're willing
to fight for it.

So why don't we settle this
the old-fashioned way.

With a duel.

[BUZZES]

I'm not playing
your games, Winslow.

TOYMAN:
I don't think
you have a choice.

Allow me to introduce
Death Fist Ninja,

my latest game.

You won't find this
in the stores.

[SCREAMS]

[TOYS CHEERING]

[GRUNTING]

He-yah!
[GRUNTING]

[CHUCKLES]

He-yah! He-yah!

He-yah!

[CACKLING]

Okay.

That's it.

Kick. Left jab.

Low kick.
Left, right.

What's he doing?

He-yah! He-yah!

He-yah! He-yah!

He's trying to work out
the ninja's moves.

But the program's
too complicated.

He'll never figure it out.

He-yah! He-yah!

[GASPS]

He-yah! He-yah!
He-yah!

He-yah! He-yah!
He-yah!

He-yah! He-yah!

He-yah! He-yah!
He-yah!

[BEEPING]

He-yah!

[ROBOT SCREAMS]

My dear, it's time
for us to go.

[GRUNTING]

Oh, this is just
a small setback, Darci.

From now on, we'll
always be together.

Always.

[GRUNTS]

What are you doing?

I can't hurt you,

but I can destroy
your toys.

No!

REPORTER [ON TV]:
After a search
that took in the entire bay,

police have found no sign
of supermodel Darci Mason,

or her captor, The Toyman.

The coast guard
has expanded the search

to include the open sea.

But a spokesperson
admits,

there is little hope
of finding survivors.

I'll get this
for you, ma'am.

[GRUNTING]

Well...guess I'll need
a little help.

Uh, be right back.
