Thundercats (1985) s01e12 Episode Script
012 - The Doom Gaze
Nemesis force of darkness come to the aid of Mumm-Ra.
Give me the power to overcome the Thundercats and rule in darkness over the Third Earth.
Tell me the secret, force of darkness.
You must summon the princess Ta-She free her from her time-warp prison and she will share with you the power of Doomgaze.
Summon Ta-She now, Mumm-Ra.
Call her to you.
Ta-She possessor of the power of Doomgaze come to Mumm-Ra.
Come to Mumm-Ra.
Ta-She! What do you want of Ta-She? The secret of the power of the Doomgaze.
Why do you want this power? With the power of the Doomgaze we can control the Thundercats forever.
But I am trapped in the time-warp prison.
I, Mumm-Ra ever-living source of evil, can free you.
Impossible.
Do not taunt Ta-She.
No one but I knows the key to the time-warp prison and I am powerless to act.
Not so, Ta-She.
I, too, know the key.
I can free you from the time-warp.
And what is the key, O vain one? A tuft of hair from a cheetah.
But that is not all.
A tuft of hair a Berbil's tear.
Still, that is not enough.
A disbeliever.
A tuft of hair, a Berbil's tear and the shoe from an enchanted unicorn.
There is but one more element, evil Mumm-Ra.
Know that and you truly know the secret of the time-warp prison.
A hero to take your place in the time-warp.
That is the final element.
No, no, Lion-O.
Like this.
Watch me.
Pay attention, Lion-O.
I'm on you again.
But, Panthro, look at that cloud.
That's impossible.
It's headed in the opposite direction of all the others.
I wonder where it's going.
Sword of Omens, give me sight beyond sight.
It looks like some kind of airborne jellyfish.
It's got tentacles.
It's headed for the Berbil village.
Come on! We better go warn them.
Look out! Help.
Help.
Berbils, help.
Grab my hand.
Grab it.
They've got Ro-Bear-Belle.
Oh, Lion-O, do something.
Save her, please.
It's moving too fast.
I'll follow it, and I'll leave a trail for you to follow.
What the-? Slithe, you slimy reptilian.
I might have known you were part of this.
Silence, cat-woman.
A tuft of a cheetah's hair, yes.
What are you doing? Stay back.
Save me, Cheetara.
Please, save me.
Another one.
She must really be moving, Snarf.
You don't say.
Jackalman.
What's he doing to that unicorn? Now, now.
It'll be okay.
You'll be all right.
We got here just in time.
But why did Jackalman want its shoe? And who took Ro-Bear-Belle? And what did they want with a tuft of my hair? - What happened? - Slithe set a trap, and I ran right into it.
- What did he want? - That's the strange thing.
He just cut off a piece of my hair.
This gets stranger and stranger.
Then the man-o'- war cloud helped him escape.
Only one person, one thing can be behind all this: Mumm-Ra.
Sword of Omens, give me sight beyond sight.
Ta-She! Ta-She come to Mumm-Ra and be free of your time-warp prison.
Oh, Thundercats, save me, please.
We've got to save Ro-Bear-Belle.
Cheetara, you cross the burning sands of the Phosphorous Desert.
We will take the crumbling Cliffs of Vertigo.
That way, we'll hit them from both sides.
Well, here goes.
Maybe there was an easier way.
Save your breath for climbing, Snarf.
You'll need it.
Quick, get across it.
Snarf! Snarf! That was close.
I don't like this at all.
I have completed my part.
The Berbil's tear a tuft of cheetah's hair and a unicorn's shoe.
- Who is that? - I don't know but she's so beautiful.
Lion-O.
In a kind of evil way, of course.
Now let the sorcery begin.
Ancient spirits of evil transform this decayed form to Mumm-Ra, the ever-living.
Oh, evil Mumm-Ra free me from my time-warp prison so that I may share the power of the Doomgaze with you.
A Berbil's tear.
I will not cry.
Lion-O! Lion-O! A Berbil's tear.
No.
I must not cry.
We've got to get her out of here.
I have them.
Lion-O, pull yourself together.
She needs your help.
What's wrong with you? Well, if Lion-O's not going to do anything, I certainly am.
You have exceeded my wildest dreams, evil Mumm-Ra.
But where is the hero who must take my place in the time-warp prison so that I can be freed? There is your hero.
Thunder, thunder, thunder! Thundercats, ho! Maybe that will teach you to monkey with the Thundercats, mutant.
Stay back, Lion-O.
This is no place for cubs.
You take Mumm-Ra, Lion-O.
I've got a score to settle with this reptile.
Summon up your power of the Doomgaze, Ta-She and trap the lord of the Thundercats in the time-warp prison forever.
Look! Lion-O must be in real trouble.
We better get there fast.
The shortest way is across the Field of Daggers.
We'll just have to risk it.
Look out! Hey, I thought you said this thing was impenetrable.
Nobody's perfect.
Now I have you, lord of the Thundercats helpless in the power of the Doomgaze.
Soon you will be imprisoned in the time-warp roaming time and space for eternity while we rule the Third Earth and the universe.
You still got Snarf to deal with.
Puny creature you may join your heroic master in his eternal prison.
So it comes down to this: Cat against dog.
A foregone conclusion, wouldn't you say? Lion-O! Submit to a superior power, Cheetara.
There is nothing you can do.
Join us, Cheetara.
With your master trapped in the time-warp prison you will need our protection.
The Doomgaze it fails! How can it be? Summon up your powers.
Your mystical powers have no effect on me.
You may mesmerize men with your evil beauty but I am a woman.
You hold no mystery for me.
The Thundercats! No! I want to be free! I only wanted to be free! I've wasted too much power.
Only enough to transform.
You'll pay for this, Lion-O.
Mumm-Ra, the ever-living source of evil will have his revenge! For a moment, you had me worried there, Lion-O.
I know.
I don't understand what happened.
I let you all down.
Especially you, Ro-Bear-Belle.
I'm sorry.
You must not be so hard on yourself, Lion-O.
We all have moments of weakness.
But even Snarf tried and- Hey, where is Snarf? Snarf.
Hey, Snarf.
- Wake up.
- It's no use, Lion-O.
He's still trapped in the Doomgaze.
How do we free him? Don't look at me.
Technology's my specialty not the supernatural.
Hey, look.
It was all a part of the spell.
Maybe it will work.
No harm in trying.
Wake up, Snarf.
Lion-O, you got trapped by Ta-She's Doomgaze.
I'd say that shows a certain weakness of character.
Come on.
Ro-Bear-Belle's in trouble.
We've got to help her.
Come on!
Give me the power to overcome the Thundercats and rule in darkness over the Third Earth.
Tell me the secret, force of darkness.
