Mighty Max (1993) s01e13 Episode Script

1
You are mine, cap bearer.
you see, the meaning of your recurring nightmares is simple to interpret,
Mighty One.
The unstoppable legions of the doomed will pursue
you forever
until, one, their tortured spirits are freed from Skull Master's crystal of souls,
or two, you are dead, whichever comes first.
Some choice!
Well, there is another alternative.
A sufficient gathering of heroes should supply us with the necessary qualities to tip the cosmic balance in our favor.
Excuse me?
You know real heroes will help
Why didn't you say so, Virgil?
I mean, I've been running around almost getting killed all this time, and you're buddies with Batman?
No, no, no, no, no.
Real heroes, the kind with certain attributes that make them
what they are.
We should look to the four corners of the globe for what we seek.
Bear Wolf from the north,
Yonah Yain from the west,
Huanuman from the far east,
and Mujaji from the south.
Mujaji.
Cool.
What a front line.
I'll just sit back and let them save the day.
no, no, no, no, Mighty One, we follow you.
Me?
But they're the heroes.
I mean, come on, they're not going to listen to some kid.
You are the cap bearer.
You are the only one who can save us all from Skull Master's dark designs.
And save myself, too.
Well, all things considered, maybe I am just crazy enough to do it.
Excellent.
Then off we go to Denmark.
Oh, so this is Copenhagen, huh?
And you say Bear Wolf is wrestling here?
One, two, three, he's out!
And the winner and the new champion, the Spite Force team and all!
Well, now I'm really impressed.
Get yourself another manager, Jointly, I've had enough.
Who are you, my new manager?
In a manner of speaking, yes.
This is Mighty Max, the cap bearer.
He is here to lead you on a noble quest.
Charmed.
I don't know, Virgil.
I mean, we're supposed to storm Skull Mountain
with a big fat loser like this.
Look at him.
maybe we could drop the slob on skull master or something huh
He was a great warrior, once.
But that's just did, Norm.
I can't believe that this is the same guy
who tore off Grendel's arm in Hrothgar's hall.
The guy I read about and wanted to be like.
You?
You wanted to be like me?
Or you shame me, Mighty One?
That's the idea.
Just another golden idol from my childhood.
tarnished beyoud hope of repair
Enough.
I can still master the old spirit and join you on this last quest, cap bearer.
I am Beowulf.
Well done, my brother.
And well done to you, Mighty One.
Your thorough knowledge of the Beowulf saga
is proof that our beleaguered educational system is still doing a fine job.
Whatever.
Let's go get us our next hero, okay?
That's Yuna Yain, killer of monsters?
Come on, he's a fossil.
He looks older than the hills.
How are we supposed to go into battle with him?
Okay, okay, you win
Don't
Shoot.
A most impressive display of skill, warrior.
Indeed.
a joy to behold
We go now.
Well, looks like we've bagged our second hero virge.
Truly.
It was clever of you to stand next to the rattlesnake, Mighty One.
Oh, yeah, yeah, well, it's always good to have a plan, you know.
So this next hero's ability is wit.
Like, what, he thinks fast on his feet or something?
Yes, like Odysseus in the Coyote legends.
He's intelligent and a trickster.
Behold, Hanuman the Monkey King.
You're kidding.
This flea-bitten chimpanzee is a hero?
What's he gonna do, throw banana peels at skull master?
Truly, Mighty One, he is a lion among monkeys.
Hello, great warrior.
The time has come.
We need your heroic qualities to aid us in our quest.
Sorry to disappoint you, Mighty One.
I know who you are.
But I've given up the strenuous and uncertain life of a hero
for the ease and luxury provided by this zoo.
Oh, dear.
All the comforts of home and no running around
having stupid humans trying to skewer you with a sword or a spear.
But you're a hero.
We need him.
Okay, fine.
Then we gotta bust him out of here.
Whether he wants to or not.
No, you can't do this.
I do not want to be a hero again.
Please.
Sometimes you gotta do things, whether you want to or not.
Yes, sometimes you do.
Come on, Leroy
I want to bag me a rhinosaurus.
I am a Mujaji, she who must be obeyed.
are breaking statues 3, 7a and 4, 5, 1, b, e and f.
If you fill out the forms in triplicate
and file them with the hunting commission
there are other animals you can hunt.
But that rhino is off limits.
Just read these.
That's Mujaji, the warrior woman?
Oh, scary.
I bet those big, mean rednecks are quivering in their clodhoppers.
She was not always this.
Civilization has quenched her fire.
You know her, Norm?
Oh, Mujaji!
Did we two vanquish the harpies with a handful of flimsy papers?
And what of this garment?
Where are your warrior's vestments?
I hardly recognized you.
Norman!
These are different times.
One must change or perish.
I fight my battles with red ink and correction fluid now.
But the fight continues.
And this suit costs $900. Thank you very much.
Change is affected by the edge of a sword.
Not anymore, it isn't, you great water buffalo.
Well, this is really great.
We come all the way to Africa to find a hero
and we come up with a glorified paper pusher.
Who are you, boy, to question?
Mighty one.
Forgive me, I did not notice.
How may I help?
Forget it, mood.
You've got nothing we can use anyway.
But I'll tell you what, I'll give you a call if I ever need a good lawyer.
cap bearer
No!
man! that's going to leave a mark.
Would..Would you look at her go?
She has regained her fire.
So who's a paper pusher?
Nobody I can see.
Welcome to the quest.
Farewell, brave one.
Be good.
Since the One Portal leads directly into the room of the crystal
it should be a simple enough matter for us to gain access
destroy the crystal.
Ii just don't think I can do this.
But Mighty One
Stop calling me that!
I'm not Mighty, I'm just a kid.
These guys, waiting for me to lead them into Skull Master's jaws
they are mighty.
I..i mean, what if I say the wrong thing or if I lead us into a trap?
You must do this.
It is prophecy.
Well, look.
Okay, okay, how about this?
What if I just open the portal, wait here
and you guys can smash the crystal, huh?
I promise I won't budge from this spot to your back.
And how would we get back without the cap bearer?
Back without the cap bearer to open the exit portal?
You need an exit token? Here.
I won't take it.
You are the Mighty One.
We are yours to lead.
Let's start walking.
I'll show you the world.
Anything's better than dying.
But what about Skull Master?
If it's not one evil, it's another.
He's been around for 10,000 years.
He'll hold.
but this is his destiny
He cannot walk away from that.
Oh? I did?
Only you could have gathered these heroes in the first place, Mighty Max.
You are born to lead them.
The fate of the world depends on you.
Forget the world. What about you?
I think I'd rather be in Fresno.
Well, I have to.
Hey, okay.
The Crystal of Souls should be right over gone.
It's a trap.
I told you I wasn't the right guy for the job.
I can't find the Crystal.
I mean, I'm the one who got us into this.
I'm the guy who's gonna have to get us out.
Hey!
They always say two heads are better than one.
I'll take no heads.
not bad.
You two make a pretty good team.
Bear me
Wait! I hear the Earth screaming.
Move!
How did you know they were coming?
Intuition, Mighty One.
You must use your intuition.
It will open your senses and anticipate the movement
of the world around you.
And never stop fighting!
Now go! Your battle waits ahead.
I hate this fighting business.
I stick my neck out for no one, any longer.
Not the most heroic philosophy, my hairy friend.
But it does have its merits as far as survival is concerned.
Staying alive is all that's important to me.
Since my karma is somewhat shy and spotless,
I'll probably be reincarnated as a tapeworm.
Whoop! Out of the way! Heads up! Coming through! Hero on the loose!
Nice shooting, bud.
So that's legendary skill, huh? Man, thanks.
It is nothing, Mighty One.
Skill is merely focus.
focus is achieved
you need only release it.
Use your wits, kid. Stay on the high ground.
After you.
See! Nothing to it.
What is your destiny, my final arrow?
Don't you have somewhere to go? Now?
Oh, yeah. Hold the fort here. I'll see you on the way out.
I strand into blackness of overnight.
Mighty One, Beowulf fights with great spirit, does he not?
Killing them all, one by one.
-Death was my every day, and I did it for a man.
-Yeah
but he's got a tin air.
Listen, Virge, I got this feeling that I'm really getting close to the crystal.
Intuition, Mighty One. The teachings of Mujaji are taking hold.
The crystal waits in a cavern at the top of these stairs,
as does Skull Master.
Skull Master? By myself?
Why did we recruit all of these heroes
if I got to face Skull Master by myself?
You are not alone, Mighty One.
The heroes have allowed you to come this far.
They have taught you many things.
It is your destiny to face Skull Master and shatter the crystal.
So you keep telling me.
The fate of a million doomed souls of the very world
rests upon your shoulders, Mighty One.
Great. So it's a no pressure kind of thing, is that what you're telling me?
See you, Virge.
No need to lead into the jaws of death. I'll carry you there.
Got to it, Mighty One. Remember,
a tyrant for spirit will overcome any obstacle.
Say there, fella, let me show you a little trick I won't start again in Great Bull.
Welcome, Mighty One. Enter and die.
Forward
back. There's only one thing you can do.
He's right.
Remember, a powerful spirit will overcome any obstacle.
You must open your senses and anticipate the movements of the world.
When focus is achieved, you need only release it.
Stay on the high ground. Let the other guy do the work for you.
Die!
My crystal!
You destroyed my crystal.
Enjoy the few seconds of life which remain to you.
I will teach you a thousand subtle shades of pain.
A hundred ways to die until I finally lay your lifeless body
at my master's table.
Who dares?
Run, hero! Get out while you can.
You can't beat Skullmaster He'll kill you.
Yeah, well, maybe I'll come back as a butterfly.
Prepare to find out, insect.
Run! It's my destiny.
-You've got to help him.
-We must hurry to the exit portal so his sacrifice is not in vain.
-But you
-It is the way of the cosmic balance, mighty one.
The exit portal is approximately 30 feet in that direction.
Just like last time. How could I forget?
And no digging machines to ride out on us before.
Oh, some leader I am.
Alas, poor Hanuman.
Oh, well, he'll soon have company.
And the last to die will watch the first five go before him.
Share the fate of the monkey king, fools!
Yuna Yain, tie the rope to your last arrow.
As you say, mighty one, I see your plan.
As do I,We'll judge it!
No! They cannot do this
Kill them! Kill them all!
Come on, everybody, time to book out of here.
We must hold Skull Master at bay or no one will escape.
It is destiny, young cap bearer.
It is fate for us to make this stand.
No! We can't just leave you guys!
We'll manage somehow. If not, I'll see you in the Valhalla
No!
Mojate!
Go, brave one. Be good.
It is destiny, mighty one.
This week we went around the world to find heroes
who could help us defeat Skull Master.
Beowulf from Europe, Yuna Yain from North America
Hanuman from Asia, and Mujaji from Africa.
Every culture, every land has its heroes,
and there's something we can learn from all of them.
We should all remember that. See you next week.
