Thundercats (1985) s01e02 Episode Script
Unholy Alliance
- Nothing like Thundera, is it? - Sure isn't, Snarf.
Dang blast it.
Worthless piece of junk.
Blasted stabilizer spirals are completely shot.
So it seems.
How do things look otherwise? Not too bad, all in all.
I can scrounge enough metal and equipment from the wreck to build us a ThunderTank.
- Good idea.
We can always count on you, Panthro.
No problem.
Main thing in an emergency is to stay calm.
We're in good shape in the food department.
None of the space rations were damaged in the crash.
I've been wondering when someone was gonna say "lunch.
" Wilykat, Kit, stop playing with your food.
We'll eat after we unload the heavy gear.
The heavy gear on an empty stomach? Terrific.
Dull little planet, isn't it? Very.
Nothing like the oceans of boiling phos and the scrum forests of Plun-Darr.
This is not a sightseeing trip.
Search on.
Lion-O, give me a hand with this.
Well, maybe it would be better if I scouted the area while you're doing that.
It's my responsibility to make sure we're in a secure position.
- But we need all the help we can get.
- No, Lion-O is right.
The surrounding territory should be reconnoitered and as lord of the Thundercats, his responsibility is our safety.
Darn right.
I'll go with you.
I don't need a nursemaid anymore.
Try to get that through your head, Snarf.
Come, Snarf, you're still needed.
We can sure use your help here.
Sure.
Nobody even knows I'm around lest there's work to be done.
Take the Claw Shield and the Sword of Omens, Lion-O.
You may need to summon us.
Oh, I think I'll be able to handle anything that comes along.
Was that a good idea, Tygra? Should we be making it easy for Lion-O to shirk unpleasant duties? Remember, Lord Lion-O spent During that time he grew in size, but he did not grow up.
He missed those firsthand life experiences through which one matures.
Rivers emptying into great bodies of water.
Yet no signs of habitation.
They could be living in caves and hollows.
No.
Look.
- Architecture of a sort.
- But in ruins.
So there was some kind of civilization on this ridiculous pebble of a planet.
We have no time to ponder that now.
If I know the Thundercats, they will lose no time in building an impregnable fortress.
We too must establish a base.
So look for a likely spot to build Castle Plun-Darr, yes? Up ahead.
A desert, most likely, and something else.
What's that thing? No primitive life form constructed it.
That's certain, yes? L I don't like the looks of it.
Let's get as far away from it as we can.
- What's happening? - The controls aren't responding.
We're falling.
I see no enemy about.
Then what caused us to crash? - There.
There's the cause.
- Oh, yes.
Nothing No being or thing thwarts Slithe.
Come, yes? Is that a good idea? You're afraid, Jackalman? And you call yourself a Mutant.
We are the fear-makers, not the ones who fear.
By Plun-Darr, you're right, Slithe.
Lead on.
Look.
Enter.
Arm yourselves.
Your weapons are not needed.
You are welcome here.
Follow the ball of light.
- Where are you? - Who are you? You shall soon see.
Have no fear.
I am Slithe and I fear nothing, yes? Actually, it's quite pleasant in here.
- What manner of chamber is this? - Look, those statues.
What do you think, an ancient race of Mutants? No wonder I like this place.
- What's that thing? - It looks like some kind of casket.
But where is he who bid us enter? I see nothing alive.
As long as evil exists Mumm-Ra lives.
What manner of being are you? You need only know that I am Mumm-Ra and that I know of your mission here on Third Earth.
You seek to possess the Eye of Thundera.
You know of the Eye of Thundera? Yes? I have known of its power for 1000 years from a time when this was still First Earth.
Even if this is so, what makes you think we need your help? You mock my power? The communication module on our ship hasn't been damaged.
We can call in the other Mutant ships and have them blast this place to powder and you, Mumm-Ra, with it.
Come see your ship, foolish creatures.
Our ship.
Gone forever along with the hope of ever summoning any other Mutant ships.
You are now stranded on Third Earth and without Mumm-Ra, you perish.
- What do you think? - Do we have a choice? - We have to go along with him.
- Yes, for now.
Even shared, there is power enough in the Eye of Thundera for all of us.
Sure there is, Mumm-Ra.
It's only right that we share.
Slithe speaks for all of us.
We're with you, Mumm-Ra.
Yes.
I am pleased to see that you are so agreeable.
Look into the cauldron once more.
You will see where the Eye of Thundera is to be found.
It's Lion-O.
Yes, the lord of the Thundercats.
He carries the sword but where is he? - That we may ambush him.
They suspect that I cannot leave my tomb.
They shall learn otherwise.
But they must not know the price I must pay for doing so.
Mumm-Ra will transport you.
Have at you, varlet, and now you will taste my blade.
Wow, what great hunting.
What's going on here? That's enough of that.
I command you to The Sword will not obey you, Lion-O.
- Jaga? - The Sword will never obey an order to destroy wantonly, Lion-O.
Oh, I was just going to have some fun.
Fun? Your food supplies are plentiful at present and those gentle creatures have as much right to the life force as you do, Lion-O.
The Sword will only come to life to combat evil.
Do you understand? Well, yes, Jaga, I guess so.
But Jaga? He's gone, and I have so many questions.
What is it? Danger? I don't see any It's the Mutants again.
The Sword.
Seize the Sword.
That's what we're trying to do.
Thunder, thunder, thunder.
Thundercats Thundercats, ho! Wilykat, Kit, Lion-O's in trouble.
- Tygra and Cheetara, where are they? - They're looking for a spot For us to build the Cats' Lair on.
It's just us then.
Come on.
Lion-O, hold on! We're here.
I'm doing fine, Panthro.
Back.
Get back.
No spaceships above.
- So where did they dematerialize to? - Don't like the looks of that.
Seems like those blasted Mutants have learned some new tricks.
Where are Tygra and Cheetara? Looking for a good place to build our new home.
Why didn't they see the Thundercat signal? Good question.
- I'll go look for them.
- No, I'll go.
It'd better be me, Lion-O.
- There could be trouble, or - I said, I'll go, Panthro.
I'm not a kid anymore.
I'll go.
Right.
So the dreaded Mutants, the scourge of the universe return with their tails between their legs having failed to disarm a single overgrown boy.
We had him but the other Thundercats joined in at the last minute.
If you think it's so easy fighting the Thundercats try it yourself next time.
Yes, we haven't seen much of your self-proclaimed power yet mighty Mumm-Ra.
You dare to taunt Mumm-Ra, reptilian? You shall see my power then, much to your sorrow.
Ancient spirits of evil transform this decayed form to Mumm-Ra the ever-living! Tygra? Cheetara? What's that? Some kind of black lake? It's hot and sticky.
It won't come off.
Danger.
What is that thing? I'd better Thunder, thunder No.
As lord of the Thundercats, I must fight this demon alone.
You think to destroy Mumm-Ra the ever-living? It cannot be done, boy.
The ever-living? This creature isn't mortal.
If I can still just Thunder, thunder, thunder.
Thundercats, ho! Thundercats, ho! It's no use, boy.
The Eye of Thundera cannot summon your friends this time.
I only wish it could.
In a moment, the Eye of Thundera will be mine to command, boy.
Yes, the stone in this cliff should provide excellent building material for the Cats' Lair.
Tygra, listen.
I thought I heard the Thundercat roar.
Something's going on and we'd better see what it is.
Come on.
We heard battle cries.
Are you all right, Lion-O? What was all that racket? I told you not go off by yourself.
Wilykit, look.
What is that thing, Lion-O? Lt He is called Mumm-Ra the ever-living.
That's all I know.
- Did you get it, Mumm-Ra? - Did you, Mumm-Ra? Do you have the Eye of Thundera? He doesn't answer.
He didn't get it.
So the great Mumm-Ra also failed.
Yes? There will be another time.
It was its own reflection that drove it off yet it feared nothing.
Except the evil in its own unspeakable face.
It was awfully rash of you to take that thing on by yourself, Lion-O.
But awfully courageous too.
Never had any use for courage myself.
It just gets them as has it into trouble.
Dang blast it.
Worthless piece of junk.
Blasted stabilizer spirals are completely shot.
So it seems.
