Thundercats (1985) s01e15 Episode Script
015 - The TIme Capsule
Hey, this is sensational! Panthro really came up with something this time, didn't he? Yeah! Now we can really move around.
- Hey! - Look out! I don't know, maybe there's something wrong with this one.
It keeps veering off to one side.
That's just because you can't ride it.
Watch this.
Yeah! No, really, I'm gonna take it back to Panthro, get him to fix it.
That ought to do it.
All you have to do is talk into it.
Just like this? No switches? Right.
It's voice-activated.
Soon as you speak, you'll get the control center.
But what about the other Thundercats? We'll all have them.
We can just patch in.
Total communication.
You seem troubled, my son.
What was Thundera like, Jaga? I mean, what happened there? You're homesick.
I just wish I knew more about it.
That's natural enough.
You were only 12 years old when you left Thundera.
And when you landed here on Third Earth, you were a man.
You missed a whole part of growing up.
Tell me about Thundera.
Better than that, there is a way I can show you.
- How? - When we abandoned Thundera we did not leave empty-handed.
We had with us a time capsule a nuclear Optocrystal.
That Optocrystal contained the history of our planet right up to the time of its destruction.
Find the time capsule, Lion-O and you'll discover much about your childhood.
Yes, Lion-O, everything about Thundera is in the time capsule.
But we all thought it must have been destroyed in the crash.
But where did it land? How do we find it? We'll have to make a systematic search.
We'll each take a different direction.
And we'll check in with Panthro's new communicator device.
Hey, can we use the spaceboards? No, you kids should stay behind.
You're too young.
Come on, Snarf.
We can take care of ourselves.
Snarf is right.
Someone's got to stay home.
And you'll be safer here.
Safe is boring.
I'll say it is.
Come on, Kat, let's go.
Are you sure this is a good idea? What's the matter? You scared? Are you kidding? Of course I'm not scared.
Well, come on then.
Can't we take a break, Lion-O? We'll stop when we get to the River of Despair.
How are we gonna cross that? You can swim, can't you? We all should've stuck together.
We could have used the ThunderTank.
What? What is that? That, my young friend, is the Black Widow Shark.
She lies in wait for anyone who tries to cross the River of Despair.
Gotta burrow.
Dig, dig, dig.
Burrow, burrow.
Excuse me, have any of you seen a time capsule? Kind of a box.
Burrow, burrow, burrow.
Deeper, deeper.
I'm looking for a time capsule.
Burrow, burrow, burrow.
A breakdown in communication.
Hey! Where is my gold? Gold! Bring me gold, Molemen! You cannot hide from Molemaster! Bring me gold! A trespasser in the mines of the Molemen! You will pay for this.
Behind you.
Not as brave as you thought, Molemaster.
Now, will you help me? I'm looking for the time capsule.
Gotta burrow.
Gotta burrow.
Burrow.
Gotta burrow.
Never expect a favor for a favor.
Soon you will see the Bridge of Light which will take you across the River of Despair.
There, the bridge is complete.
It's beautiful.
Hurry, the power does not last for long.
Jaga, save us! Move it, Snarf! It's going to attack again! The Sword! The Bridge of Light cancels out its power.
The bridge is collapsing.
Lion-O! Get back, Snarf.
This thing's about to collapse! I never want to go through that again.
There's just one thing.
- What's that? - How are we gonna get back? Calling Cheetara.
Cheetara.
Do you copy? - Found anything? - No, Tygra.
Nothing here except a few flowers.
Okay, I'll call Panthro, see how he's doing.
Good luck.
Okay, let's see how you deal with a little speed.
Hey.
- Come in, Panthro.
- I read you, Tygra.
- You got anything? - Nothing here except a few baby crabs.
What do you think's over there? One way to find out.
Hey! Hey.
Yeah! Look out! Grab hold of my hand, Wilykit! I don't understand why Jaga didn't tell you where the time capsule is.
Would have saved us a lot of trouble.
He has his reasons.
Tell me about Thundera, Snarf.
What was it like? What? Talk louder, Snarf.
You're mumbling.
Oh, come on.
What? Set him free.
Hey, Snarf.
Down there, by that cave.
Do you think that could be it? I'm not sure.
Sword of Omens, give me sight beyond sight! It's some kind of silver carrying case.
I think we found it! Time to call the Thundercats! Thunder, thunder, thunder.
Thundercats, ho! It couldn't have landed here.
It's too far from where we crashed.
Someone must have brought it.
But who? I don't think he's going to let us take it.
How can he stop us? He's not armed.
I'm sorry, caveman, but it is ours.
We need it, and we're going to take it.
He wants you to arm-wrestle.
If I win, you'll give me the capsule? This is one contest you'll never win, Lion-O.
Look at the size of him! We'll just have to see.
Lion-O, the Thundercats.
No, Snarf, I'll fight my own battles.
I accepted his challenge, not them.
Leave him.
Let him do it.
It's one-on-one.
You did it, Lion-O! I never thought you could! We got it.
Doesn't look like much, does it? No, but wait till you see the Optocrystal.
A perfect model of the planet Thundera, your home.
Can't we take a look now? No, there may be some damage.
We'll get it back to the Cats' Lair first and open it there.
I guess I've waited this long to find out about Thundera.
Another day won't matter.
What are you two doing here? We told you to stay home.
And I told you never to ride two on one board.
We didn't wanna miss anything.
And the other board got wiped out.
Wiped out? You know how long it took me to make those things? I'm sorry, Panthro.
I guess we didn't think.
Lucky you didn't run into anything dangerous on your way here.
Yeah, lucky for us.
Well, it was a breeze.
Do I detect a false note there? You mean? You mean, are we telling the truth? Okay, okay, it was almost a breeze.
Yeah, we almost got wiped out.
I guess that's the truth.
Good that you're owning up to it.
I guess another board won't be too hard to make.
Hey, great.
And a week's grounding for the two of you shouldn't be too hard to take.
- Total grounding? - Total grounding? Restricted to the Cats' Lair.
Mind if I ride your board back?
- Hey! - Look out! I don't know, maybe there's something wrong with this one.
