Thundercats (1985) s01e09 Episode Script

009 - The Garden of Delights

What do you make of it? Earthquake? More like a dozen little quakes, all over the place.
I'm sure it's not serious, but I'd better go out and double-check.
- Be careful.
- As a cat.
Looking good, big guy.
By the Eye of Thundera.
Made it.
Now that's strange.
Back, beast, back! Get back.
- It's a man.
- A cat.
It's trouble.
- Let's burrow.
Burrow, burrow, burrow.
- Let's burrow.
Mole-like people.
Will the wonders of this place called Third Earth never cease? - Trapped.
- Hands.
- Can't you-? Can't you talk? - Talk, talk, talk.
- What would you like to talk about? - Quakes.
Talk about quakes.
I thought you might tell me something about them.
Not make quakes.
Houses ruined.
What in the cat's-eyed cosmos? Who is that? My name is Silky.
And I welcome you to the Garden of Delights.
What is your delight, Tygra? I'm- I'm looking for I'm looking for sparkling slime.
Slime? In the Garden of Delights? From a worm.
A big one.
I followed it here.
Our fruit has no worms.
Come, sit.
No.
No.
I can't.
I haven't time to sit.
Your mind is weighted down with problems.
Lose them here with me.
Taste.
I- I shouldn't.
No, I It's sweet.
Oh, my.
What-? What is it? It's beautiful.
How do you feel? I- I feel like I'm flying.
You are flying, Tygra.
Hey, this- This is great! Hey.
Hey, Thundercats! I'm falling.
Silky! Slime.
Where there's slime, there's worm.
You.
Did the fruit bite you, Tygra? No.
The slime- I must- The worm- No fruit.
I- I must Do you have any more of the fruit? You can have all the fruit you wish.
Thank you, Silky.
But first, you must bring me something in return.
The Eye of Thundera.
Bring it to me, Tygra.
To Mumm-Ra! Tygra, everything all right? I almost- - Hey.
- Everything's fine, Panthro.
Everything's j,ust fine.
Tygra? Well, that's it.
- You wanna take her into the shed? - Sure.
Panthro, I can't hold her.
- We're sinking.
- Hang on, Wilykat.
We're going down.
Take it easy, Wilykat.
How do you feel? - With my fingers.
- No j,oke.
- Be glad you still got them.
- Hello down there.
- Everybody okay? - Hang on.
We'll drop you a line.
Drop the line, Cheetara, and then come down here.
I want you both to see this.
What is this stuff? - Some kind of glowing slime.
- Look up ahead.
Those tunnels go everywhere.
Did the fruit bite you, Tygra? - What a tank.
- You can say that again.
The Eye of Thundera, Tygra.
Bring me the Eye of Thundera.
It is said that the Eye of Thundera cannot be used for evil purposes.
But there must be a way.
What is your secret? Everything has a secret.
Nothing is without a taint of evil spirit.
If I cannot use your power I will destroy it.
I- I cannot hold it.
But I know who can.
Ancient spirits of evil transform this decayed form to Mumm-Ra, the ever-living.
Silky There will be a way.
Go, Tygra.
There will be a way.
The game is won, my friends.
Behold, the mystic Sword of Omens.
How did you secure it? Let's j,ust say I wormed it out of them.
So the game is won, yes? Not so easily.
Apparently, the sword does not respond to the evil touch.
Yes, we have learned that the hard way.
The sword works for Lion-O.
But perhaps it will work in the hands of some other pure spirit as well.
That leaves all of us out.
What pure spirit did you have in mind? I have heard of a warrior maiden.
Yes, the woman called Willa.
What are you? Where am I? You are in the Black Pyramid.
You will never find the exits.
Hold, and listen to Mumm-Ra.
The sword you hold, it is the mystic Sword Of Omens.
The Thundercat Lion-O's sword.
But how? Listen closely to Mumm-Ra.
You hold in your hand one of the great powers of Third Earth of the universe.
With it and me you could rule Third Earth.
I have no interest in ruling anything.
You could be a queen.
The sword is invincible.
And so is its owner.
Try it.
This simple sword.
I see nothing special about this sword.
The Eye of Thundera, Tygra.
Bring me the Eye of Thundera.
You saw something? What did you see? Nothing.
An empty space.
You lie! Do not lie to Mumm-Ra! I saw the future.
What future? Willa, Queen Willa.
Queen of Third Earth of the galaxy of the universe! Yes.
It is as I hoped.
What is it I heard him shout? It worked! What a mess.
- What a terrible mess.
- Snarf, where's Tygra? You tell me.
Look at this mess, j,ust look at it.
I've got all I can do to look after Lion-O without- Tygra is so neat.
This is not like him at all.
Tygra.
Tygra! Tygra.
Panthro.
Everything under control? I was j,ust- Just sitting out here having a little snack.
I'd offer, but this is my last one, and I- Beautiful.
Panthro, Tygra.
We're under attack.
Move it, Tygra.
Move it.
- Who attacks? - Warrior maidens.
They have Tygra and Panthro.
- Warrior maidens? - Get the ThunderTank.
I'll bring the sword.
What friend would let his most powerful weapon be used by mutants? Well, your trick has backfired.
What weapon? What trick? You deny that you gave the mutants the Eye of Thundera to be used against us? It is impossible that you have that, but obviously, you do.
Panthro, Tygra.
The Eye of Thundera.
It's missing.
- Willa.
- We have the great Panthro and the architect Tygra.
Cheetara, wait.
And we have the Eye of Thundera.
What can you use against us? You must bend to Mumm-Ra's will at last, boy.
- Never.
- Words! Take them all into the Cats' Lair and see that they are suitably confined.
Why isn't Tygra with us? He has been acting strangely.
He's not himself.
If we only knew why.
Maybe we can find that out.
And a little more.
From in here? It's hopeless.
Tygra designed this room so that there's no way out once that door has been sealed.
You are thinking logically, son, and sometimes logic does not work.
- What does? - Ingenuity.
The time to plan for a rainy day is when the sun is shining.
If I had been more careful about protecting the Eye, we wouldn't be here now.
Some things are beyond one's control, Lion-O.
Do not blame yourself.
Watch.
An engineering feat and it's all mine.
Have you any more of the fruit, Silky? What could you possibly offer in return? I have it all.
You will never have it all as long as Lion-O lives.
Yes.
You are probably right.
Warrior maiden, prepare yourself for battle.
This should be fun.
Have some more fruit, Tygra.
Let the festivities begin.
Oh, Silky there's one other thing I forgot to mention.
Silence him! The sword, Mumm-Ra will not respond to an evil command.
I know that.
- What-? - Yes.
Yes, mighty Mumm-Ra.
Lion-O.
Thunder.
Thunder.
Thunder.
Thundercats, ho! Obviously, I have a lot to apologize for.
Not you, Tygra.
That was some other person.
We're thankful you had the strength to pull yourself out of it in time.
And that you, Panthro, had the- What did you call it? - Ingenuity.
- That's it.
The ingenuity to prepare us for what was to come.
Were you scared, Lion-O? Me? I knew the sword couldn't be used against me.
Panthro reminded me of Jaga's warning.
But were you scared? Darn right I was.
