Tangled: The Series (2017) s01e01 Episode Script

1 (theme music playing) I got the wind in my hair and a fire within 'Cause there's something beginning I got a mystery to solve and excitement to spare Got a beautiful breeze blowing through I'm ready to follow it who knows where And I'll get there I swear With the wind in my hair Boo! - (laughs) - (growls) Pffffft! (laughs awkwardly) (gasps) Gothel: Hello, Rapunzel.
Did you think I was gone forever? What's the matter, dear? Aren't you happy to see your mummy? (screams) (screams) (grunting) Gothel: And look! Your hair has returned! Ooh, isn't that wonderful? Come now, dear.
Let's get back to your tower, where you will be safe and secure.
- Rapunzel! - (gasps) (squeaks) - (seagulls cawing) - (bells pealing) - Fred? - Huh? You haven't touched your food.
No, no, I I've touched it.
I moved my eggs from here to here, you see? Hm.
Oh, sweetheart, it's been nearly a week.
Just talk to her.
(sighs) You do recall my last conversation with Rapunzel didn't go quite as I had hoped? Uh, Fred, you confined her to the walls of Corona under martial law.
If that's a daddy-daughter conversation, I would hate to see what a talking-to is.
Just because it was a difficult choice, doesn't mean it wasn't the right one.
Come on, Cass! Those dreams are trying to tell me something! - Ever since that night - Shh! Raps, I told you, we can't tell anyone about that night.
Um I think the secret's pretty much out.
Yeah, yeah, everyone knows the hair's back, but if anyone knew I was the one who snuck you out when it happened, I would be sent to a convent Literally, a convent.
Well, I have to tell Eugene.
No, no, no, no, no.
As far as he knows, you just woke up that morning with long hair.
But Eugene is my boyfriend! We tell each other everything! I know this is a lot to ask, but I can't risk it.
Please, don't tell Eugene.
Tell Eugene what? Oh, come on, you guys keeping secrets? It's not really a secret, Eugene, it's more like a sensitive situation.
Sensit S Ha! Sensitive? And you think Cassandra's gonna help? Blondie, I've met glaciers with more warmth and compassion.
And move faster, she's slow.
Rapunzel, it's me, Eugene.
Whatever's going on you can tell me.
- I know I can, it's - Cassandra: I don't trust you! You have a big mouth! (gasps) I do not! Name one time I blew a secret.
It's a scarf! Thanks, this was fun! And to think we were dreading it, right? - Surprise! - (screams) Oh, your surprise party is next week.
(groans) I said one time! Rapunzel, you're really not gonna tell me? I'm sorry.
Fine.
But you should know, I have things I keep from you.
- Lots of things.
- Name one.
Pete, the guard, is terrified of mimes.
Hey! They see things that aren't there! Pete, wait! No, it was a different Pete the guard.
You don't even know him.
(jaunty piano music playing) Ahh! There they are! A veritable cornucopia of confidants, who trust me implicitly and would gladly divulge their innermost secrets.
Wait, who is this guy? That's Hook Hand's brother.
Oh, yeah? What's your name? Hook Foot? I gotta admit, I did not see that coming.
- So, where is Hook Hand, anyway? - There.
Eugene: Hook Hand went on a world tour? Does no one share anything with me? No feelings, no secrets, no news? Why won't anyone open up to me? (sniffing) Ahhh! Big Nose! Now there's a guy who knows how to share what's on his nose mind! Here comes loverboy with more of his romantic "excapades.
" Hey, are those flowers for Assunta? Am I pronouncing that correctly? How is your lady friend, anyway? Oh, I'm glad you asked, but perhaps this latest poem I wrote will tell you.
(groans) I call it, "Can You Keep a Secret? I Love You.
" "Our love is like a timeless truth, "It knows no tick nor tock.
- "Our love is a big toe of honesty" - (men growl) Big Nose: "poking through the hole of your favorite sock.
" Cassandra: I was thinking about your hair.
Maybe there's a way we can discreetly try to get some answers, just the two of us.
I might know someone who can help.
I still think you're being unfair about Eugene.
But, um, who is this friend of yours? His name is Varian, and he's some kind of wizard.
(gasps) Wow! A real wizard? (squealing) Do you think he'll have one of those pointy hats, and, like, a robe and a staff and cast spells? - No, I do not.
- (sighs) Very little is known about Varian, and what is, isn't good.
Some say he's dangerous.
But if we want answers, he's our best bet.
Right? Mm-hm.
(sighs) Well, sounds like we have a wizard to visit.
"We keep no secrets, me and you, Our love stays fresh like the morning dew.
" You see, what I really tried to do is capture - the oneness of our relationship.
- (whinnies) Yep, oneness, got it.
Big Nose: 'Cause if you can't share everything with that someone special, then maybe that someone isn't so special.
Ha-ha! I gotta go.
This has been great.
You keep writin' those words down, 'cause one of these days you'll have more of 'em.
Okay, bye, everybody! (snorts) Good morning! Hey, Big Nose, what's goin' on with that lady that you have? (clearing throat) (others groan) Cassandra: So, this is where Varian lives.
It seems cozy, in a I-wish-I-had-said-goodbye- to-my-loved-ones- before-I-left kind of way.
(rumbling) (squeaking) Cassandra: Just watch your step, Raps.
Come on, this way.
It's just fog.
I'm sure it's okay.
(screams) (both coughing) Fine.
A booby trap! - Raps, everything's gonna be oh! - (footsteps approach) (distorted, speaks emphatically) What do you want? (horses grunting) What are they doing? Um hi.
So sorry to bother you, sir.
I wanted to ask you about my hair.
Because you're such a magic exp (distorted) Magic? I do not work with magic.
(normal voice) I mean, technically, it's not magic.
It's alchemy, but yeah don't don't sweat it.
(growls) (nervous laugh) Got it.
So, what is this? Oh, it's it's a chemical compound of my own design.
Thank you.
See, we have a bit of a critter problem out here, and, through the miracle of modern alchemy, I have found a humane way to solve the problem.
This is riveting, but could you get us out of here? Ha! Where is that neutralizing parti Oh! C-Come get outta here! (laughs) I am so sorry, Your Highness.
"Your Highness"? Wait.
You know who I am? Uh, how could I not? (laughs) Look at your hair! Ha! Your highness.
- (clears throat) - Oh, please.
Just Rapunzel.
Wow.
Really? Okay.
So, fantastical stories of your hair returning have spread throughout Corona.
Yeah, people say it's magic, but personally, I don't really believe that.
Now, as you have probably guessed, I am a man of science, - specifically, al - Alchemy.
We know.
Now listen, kid.
We need your help, but let me make something clear.
What happens here stays here, you got it? Oh, yes, this this Ah is it's very long.
Oh, no, don't worry, Your High Rapunzel.
I am sure that I, Varian, can unlock the mystery of your hair with the power of science! Ow! No sweat, it's just a little (babbles) (Eugene groans) What is taking 'em so long? I'm goin' in! (grunts) (whinnying) (whinnying) (chittering) (grunting) Rapunzel: Bring back what once was mine What once was mine Better? Oh, yeah No! Huh that used to work.
Well, silver lining: We've acquired some critical data about your hair.
It no longer possesses its legendary healing power.
Progress! Now let's figure out exactly what this hair is made of.
This machine can analyze any substance for chemical makeup, bitopic composition, and urgu-structural integrity.
- I built it myself.
- Nice! If I'm right, this should tell us all there is know about your hair.
Raps, are you sure you wanna - Rapunzel? - Let's do this.
Okay! Rapunzel.
Now, um, this may get a little Exciting? Um, sure! Yeah! That's a good word for it.
(whirring) (screams) Whoa-kay! Whaaa! Whoa! (laughs) (bell dings) Varian: And there we are! Done.
All right.
Not super fun, but it's over.
(laughs nervously) Ha! Oh, sorry.
Yeah, I I meant done with the first test.
But don't worry, only 86 more to go! (machine starting up) (blade whirring) (gasps) Blondie! Amazing! You were right, it's absolutely unbreakable! - (door bangs) - But I'm betting you're not! Let her go! Eugene! Hey! Blondie! You're okay! You wanna tell me what's goin' on here? (laughs nervously) You know what? I don't care.
I'm gettin' you outta there.
Hey! You're Flynn Rider! No.
You don't know what you're talking about.
I've never seen you before in my life.
You can't prove anything! (laughs nervously) I'm your biggest fan! See? Hey, now! Flynn Rider, nice to be met.
I used to see your wanted posters all the time! You're my hero! Oh, well, "hero" is a bit much.
I've read every single book about you! Oh well, um, you see, that's not actually me.
I just took the name from the book.
Hey, hey! Remember the time you dueled that evil knight, blindfolded? No, no, not me.
Do you wanna put that down? This isn't right, Cassandra.
I have to tell him what's going on.
No.
Rapunzel, I want to trust you, and I trust that you trust Eugene, but I don't trust Eugene, and if I can't trust Eugene, I can't trust you, and you're just going to have to trust me.
Trust me, that logic tracks.
Tell me about how you took on the Earl of Camembert! Also not me.
Would someone please explain to me who this child is? - I'm Varian! - (glass shatters) Hot, hot, hot, hot! Oh, come on! (rumbling) What was that trembling? Trembling? I didn't notice any trembling.
Oh! Yeah! Almost forgot to get the spectrometric press! It's the only way I can read the results of the test! Flynn Rider! Wanna come with? Oooh! No.
Hey! If If If you come, I can show you something really special, but, um, you've got to keep it a secret.
You want to tell me a secret? Did you hear that, everyone? - Varitas V Var - Varian! A complete stranger wants to tell me a secret! Listen, buddy, I need you to tell me everything that the princess told you.
Oh, yeah.
Well, okay, first, she said, "We're looking for Varian," and then I said, "I am Varian!" (laughs) And then she said, "Uh, hi, sorry to bother you, sir, but I wanna ask you about my hair.
" Wait, oh, I'm sorry, let me back up.
I forgot to tell you about the raccoon trap.
So, there was Yes, that's great, but what I meant is, tell me all the important stuff she said.
Mr.
Rider, when the Princess of Corona speaks directly to you, every word is important.
(clattering) I know that press is here somewhere, Flynn.
Again, it's Eugene.
Here it is! And, once the tests are done, it'll print the results on parchment paper That's muy interesante, but getting back to what the princess said - (loud rumbling) - Whoa, whoa! Why does that keep happening? Flynn Rider! I believe I promised you a secret.
Now, if my dad knew I was down here, he'd kill me.
(laughs) Of course, if he knew what I was actually doing down here, he'd probably be impressed, or at least I hope he'd be impressed.
These tunnels run through my entire village, which make them perfect for my project.
What project? This project.
I don't get it.
Through the miracle of alchemy not magic I have found a way to heat this entire tank of water with a single drop of my newest, yet to be named compound which I'll call Flynnoelum! - I still don't get it.
- I'm gonna surprise my village by bringing the people hot, running water! (laughs) I've constructed five of these babies all throughout the caverns.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
These these tremors your machines are causing them? No, no, no.
My machines are not causing them.
The chemical reactions they trigger do.
(boom) And no one else knows you're doing this? Okay, listen, kiddo.
I'm no expert in whatever this is, but anything that can cause earthquakes cannot be safe.
We've gotta warn people about this.
No! We can't! Okay? You gave me your word you'd keep this a secret.
And besides, I am an expert, and this is all perfectly safe.
Yeah, it does Does that all the time.
(voice shaking) Only 12 more tests to go! - (bell dings) - Yaaaay! Team Awesome is ba-aaack! Now, Rapunzel, I know my tests have been a pain in the hm-hm.
Aw, I wouldn't say pain.
Y Now I would.
In a moment, this little guy he'll give us all the answers we want.
Woo-hoo! Answers! - So, Eugene! - (croak) Got yourself a secret, huh? If you wanna call it that.
The kid ha uh-uh, nice try, Cass.
(loud rumbling) Look, Raps, I think it's time to go.
Now.
Now? You're kidding, right? This is almost finished.
(bell dings) (mutters) Can we talk? (chuckles) Of course! That's what Team Awesome does (groans) Those things down there are dangerous! Dangerous? No, they're not dangerous, I I have adjusted my calculations for every possible outcome.
The margin of error is is less than .
56 percent or now, wait, was it .
57? I don't know! Look, Varian.
I think you're a good kid, a a a smart kid, and you got great intentions.
But I'm asking you pleading with you For the love of my life, and your entire village, to please shut off those machines until a seisma-quake-atologist can come inspect 'em! Please! Do it for Team Awesome! (loud rumbling) Ohhhh! I suppose I can turn them down a bit.
(bell dings) All right! Six more tests.
Then we can leave, right? Go someplace far away? Really, really far away.
Why do you want us to leave so bad? Oh, no, you can stay.
In fact, it'd be great if you stayed.
That way, when these things blow u Oh, boy, never mind.
Whoa Wait! What did you just say? Okay, Varian.
I I guess it was .
57.
Heh.
Eugene, what is wrong with you? Okay! You wanna know why we have to go? Oh, no the Flynnoleum! (bell dings) Look, I tried to show you I could keep a secret, but I can't! - This kid - (rumbling) (bell dings) Varian's got five of these huge, highly-pressurized underground machines, and they are clearly unstable.
I think they could blow up any minute! - And that minute is now.
- Get me out of this machine! (groans) (bell dings) Um, guys? Hurry! (screams) Give me your arm! Eugene! Varian! He's gonna get himself killed! Get her outta here! I'll get the kid.
(bell dings) - Rapunzel: It's over! - (cuckoo bird chimes) (groans) I need those results! (bell dings) No! (grunts) (whinnying) Whoa! - (grunts) - Listen, kid! We gotta get outta here! No, no! (grunts) No, I've got three pumps to shut off, and I can't let this happen again! (screams) Look out! (grunts) No, there's no time! Get out of here! I am not going anywhere without you.
I love you, Rapunzel.
I love you, too.
More than you will ever know.
What the hair? (clanging) Thank you, m'lady.
(groans) Varian! Man: Varian! Quirin! Thank goodness you're here! Uh-oh.
It's my dad.
Are you okay? What happened? Dad, I'm sorry.
Not again, Varian.
- But, Dad - (sighs) Is everybody okay? Quirin, what do we do? It was terrible.
(whinnying) I'm sorry you didn't get those test results, Blondie.
I should never have kept a secret from you.
From now on, no more secrets.
Ever.
Oh, yeah? Well, what about Cassandra? That's between her and me.
Okay.
The truth? You know how I said I just woke up with my hair long? Well, I didn't.
The night before, Cass kinda helped me break out of Corona.
Ohhh, I knew it! (laughs) She's gonna get in so much trouble! (horse growls) That is, of course, if anyone were to find out, which they won't, because this guy is a vault.
(slap) You should have seen it, it was a crazy night.
She showed me these black rocks, and I know it sounds so weird, but I think they're what made my hair grow back.
Eugene: Hey, after today, nothing sounds weird.
Rapunzel: And then when I touched the rocks, they started chasing us.
Eugene: Rocks chasing you? Now we're back to weird.
Rapunzel: Yeah, well Max was there, and once we got far enough away from them, they stopped growing.
("More of Me" playing) Now I got my eyes opening wider My heart burning like fire Feels like I'm so alive I'm never going back Whatever I want now I'm gonna chase it Who I am I can't contain it I'm not gonna hold it in 'Cause there's more of me to give - Oh, Oh - Oh, yeah There's more of me to give
