Mighty Max (1993) s01e10 Episode Script
Bring Me the Head of Mighty Max
No
that's right cursed cap bearer source of my eternal torment.
He thinks he has his skint,
but he is wrong,
painfully wrong.
The time has come.
My soulless one.
Go! Find him!
Bring me his cap.
And his head.
Attached to his body or not.
Last, a little peace and a little quiet.
No school
no nagging parent,
no brain-sucking aliens.
But why this beach,
eight gazillion miles from home?
Why not our regular beach?
To get away,
Felix.
Come on, every self-respecting
kid has to get away once in a while?
Uh-huh.
Are you sure it doesn't have anything to do with the volleyball tournament?
Of course not.
I mean Sometimes a guy just wants to
go where he won't be bothered.
And what makes you think anyone would want to bothered you?
I beg your pardon.
Is that anyway,
to speak to the guy who just last week,
I believe it was,
saved the world from certain doom at the hands of Skull Master?
Sorry,
I thought I was speaking to the guy who just last week
spent two hours in the principal's office for mooning the teacher's lounge.
Are you,
Mighty Max?
I'm so ashamed.
I thought I told Virgil never to call me that.
yeah,
I'm,
I'm Max.
Thanks.
wait,
here's,
Rupee for your trouble.
Wonderful.
Next time I'm in India,
I'll be sure not to spend it all in one place.
I thought no one could find you here.
Well,
Virgil maybe,
but nobody else.
Okay,
let's see.
Max, you are in grave danger.
What else is new?
You are being hunted by minions under Skull Master's power.
Max!
Wait a second.
This is important.
They emerge from the ocean and you will know them by their barnacle appearance
and their ability to track the cap wherever it is.
Okay,
what?
this guys not a friend of yours is he?
no.
P.S
there was a portal in the taco stand directly behind you.
Gotta go.
See ya!
Max!
You know,
there are days I'm glad he's the one with the cap.
Ask them a bye-bye,
baby!
A mighty one,
thank goodness you're safe.
Muchas gracias as for the restaurant tip.
you guys shopping for a summer place?
This is no time for levity.
Norman has your clothes.
Dress quickly.
So, all knowing dude
who was the creature from the ugly lagoon back at the beach?
He is one of Skull Master's minions.
They can track anything on land or sea.
They are now tracking you.
Why?
What did I ever do to them?
Nothing
mighty one.
They're most likely undeviatingly following Skull Master's orders,
which I'm sure are to bring you and the cosmic cap to Skull Mountain at once.
Well,
bring them on.
He'll give us something
to do, right, Norm?
Busy hands are happy hands.
No,
we cannot face them.
Nothing can stop them.
They are too dangerous.
They are too dangerous.
come on,
Virgil.
How dangerous can they be?
back
No,
we must run!
Hold on, hold on. Time out!
Who are those guys and how do they hold their breath under the ice so long?
It's not a matter of breath,
mighty one.
They don't need to breathe.
They're not even alive.
Not alive?
Where are they coming from?
Well, I suppose the time has
come for you to hear the whole story.
Five thousand years ago,
there was a great and noble people that lived in a city hidden beneath the waves.
But rumors began,
the end was nigh,
their doom was at hand.
It was foretold that one day their city would be destroyed and all would perish
There was one among them who played upon the people's fears,
claiming that he and he alone could save them from catastrophe.
But that one was Skull Master.
Diabolically, he convinced the king that if all
his people yielded up their souls to the crystal,
they would survive.
For where the souls go,
the bodies can safely follow.
The king ordered his people to transfer their spirits to the stone.
But the people hesitated.
So Skull Master used his dark power
to tumble the very walls of the city,
and the people quickly conceded their souls to the stone.
But Skull Master killed the king and escaped with the crystal,
and never released the souls inside,
condemning them to the torment of being neither alive nor dead.
With the power of the crystal,
Skull Master ruled the earth for centuries,
until the original capterra arose to lead the lust of the free people against him.
But the soulless ones were the heroes down for,
and he was trapped.
In the end,
the hero tricked Skull Master into falling through the main portal to the center of the earth.
He left his cap behind so that he and Skull Master would never return.
If only he'd listened to me,
there was another way.
Yeah,
So what was his hero's name,
Gandhi?
St.Joan of Cap?
His name was Maximus.
Well,
this Max isn't sacrificing himself for Skull Master,
not on your life.
We must run!
This doesn't make any sense! What are we gonna do?
Run forever?
I'm sorry,
Mighty One.
We must flee until you're old enough to fulfill your destiny.
Old enough?
Hey, I'm old enough
right now, man.
To go down to Skull Mountain?
Look, I already told you I
am not going back down there.
Besides,
how do you know that's my destiny?
Because I know almost everything.
Okay.
Who was the King of England in 1298?
Edward II.
Well, how many people are
living right now in Calcutta?
67,982,732.
Sorry.
Okay.
Well,
how many fingers am I holding up behind my back?
Three.
Well,
well,
it doesn't matter anyway.
Destiny or no Destiny,
I am not going back down there to fight Skull Master again.
Forget it!
You must keep running until you're older.
Hey, I don't need you telling me what to do.
I can take care of myself.
Come on,
Norman.
We got work to do.
Stop! Facing them will mean your doom!
Hey, listen, Shamu.
You should know that we've beaten everything from dragons to demigods,
and we're certainly not afraid of a sushi plate like you.
Well,don't say I haven't warned you.
Take him,
Norman.
This could only end in disaster.
Yoo-hoo! Mr.Barnacle Guy!
Well,shiver me timbers.
It's a pirate's night for me.
Judge's scores for the Barnacle Guy?
9,
9.5,
9.9,
and a 6 from the Romanian judge.
None of this is in the prophecy.
you know,
Flipper,
I'm really flattered by the attention,
but don't you have places to go,
fishes to meet,
swimming to do something?
Max
Look after Norman Mighty one
This is the only way
Virgil!
wait,wait
you're looking for the cat bearer right?
Yeah,
well I may be the cat bearer,
but,I don't have any cap.
Bad hair day, maybe, but no cap.
Hey! watch it,
pal! good riddance, ya booger-eatin spaz
Now that's what I call jaywalking.
Norman!
speak to me,
big guy!
I hate Australian rules,
football.
no, Norman
it's me,Max.
We're in Rio.
Virgil took off with a cap through a portal.
What?
Portal?
We gotta find Virgil.
Now, do you remember where
the portal right here goes to?
I'm certain it goes to Baltimore.
Cool, let's go!
Or was it Bangkok?
Mighty one! Where are you going?
After the barnacle guy!
He's drawn to the cap, right?
And Virgil's got the cap,
so we'll just follow him to Virgil!
Right.
You never know when you might have to immobilize some evil guy.
That's a good thing they move in a straight line.
Real easy to follow.
Are you coming,
Mighty one?
Yep! Be right there! I was just sort of looking around.
Freedive Heights?
No, it's not that I
Okay,
it's just that I was wondering if there was a better way that didn't involve falling.
I really appreciate this,Normie!
I really owe you big time!
we're almost there right,
Normie?
No! Norman
My mom wonders why my clothes get so dirty.
I still don't get it! Why would Virgil take the cap?
He probably thought you were endangering the prophecy.
Oh yeah?
Well,he should just trust me.
When have I not come through for him?
Don't answer that.
Besides,if it's all fate
then it's gonna happen anyway,
right?
Some of it's fate.
Some of it's free will.
Well,
how do you know which is which?
No,
don't give me that Buddha smile!
You know more than you're telling me!
It could be worse.
Could be a muskox.
But I guess that's fate for you.
Hey,
check this out.
Inkin hieroglyphics.
Mulat loves hyana.
So
this is our rendezvous with destiny
You ever wish you were a bird and you could just soar high above it all?
No.
meet me neither.
My track.
No fooling Sherlock.
What's he doing?
I don't know
Well,if he's not careful,
he's gonna get hit by lightning.
Norman,
Virgil once told me the capis indestructible.
Is that true?
No one's ever done it.
Yet.
He's trying to destroy the cap,
even if it means turning himself
into chicken catch a torii in the process!
Come on!
Virgil!
No
Mighty Max,
Norman,
free while you can!
You can't get rid of us that easy!
Come on,
we got a chicken to save!
No,Virgil! Don't do it!
No!
Virgil,are you okay?
Talk to me buddy.
We have company
Norman,
hold them off!
Ok! If I were a portal
where would I be?
Let's dance.
come on
Mighty one that portal
There
Norman give me your sword!
Mighty one,
No
not again! Give me the cap!
Norman give me your sword!
No!
Forget the prophecy already,
Virgil! What we'll be we'll be!
But you see,
I don't want you to die.
Mighty one!
Hey, man
we can't keep running from these things Virgil!
You gotta trust me!
Simon says,
follow the bouncing cap!
No!
Not again,
not Max.
No!
Anybody lose a contact lens?
Mighty one,
is that you?
No,
it's Amelia Earhart.
You know that portal leads to the bottom of the Mariana's trench,
39,000 feet deep in the Pacific Ocean?
Yeah,
I know.
It'll take a month to get out.
Brilliant!
And before then,
we'll figure out how to get down to Skull Mountain to destroy the crystal of souls.
That is my destiny!
If such is your will,
Mighty one.
Now, would one of you
gentlemen like to help me up?
What's the password?
Very funny come on,
you guys help me up.
Now,
repeat after me.
I do hereby promise never again
to refer to Virgil as chicken head.
When I get my hands on you
You cannot escape.
cap bearer you will be my
This week we wound up in the Andes Mountains of South America,
where the Incan people built a great empire over 500 years ago.
They did it using an incredible system of roads,
more advanced at the time than any others in the world,
and without ever having invented the wheel.
Oh man,
just think if they'd had inline skates.
See you next week.
that's right cursed cap bearer source of my eternal torment.
