Thundercats (1985) s01e19 Episode Script
020 - Mongor
No creature, no structure no Third Earthling will escape the wrath of Mongor.
Mongor is fear.
Fear and destruction.
Mongor terrorizes Third Earth.
And wherever he finds fear he grows in power and strength.
Soon he will be fit to destroy the Thundercats.
What's happening? My screen.
It's blanked out.
There's some kind of force field blocking the scanners.
We better get back to the Cats' Lair.
And fast.
Panthro, there's something wrong with the screens.
Yeah.
And the controls aren't responding properly.
This doesn't feel so good.
Everything's back to normal.
But each time it happens, it gets worse.
It's as though whatever it is gets stronger each time.
Hey.
Where are you two kids going? Nowhere, Snarf.
We were just - Are you two okay? - Sure, Lion-O.
We're fine.
Maybe we should tell them, Wilykit.
- Tell us what? - It's kind of hard to explain, but Whatever it is out there, we kind of caused it.
What are you saying? That thing can even paralyze the Cats' Lair temporarily.
How could two kids like you have anything to do with it? I guess it wasn't like that when it started, Panthro.
But we didn't mean anything.
You have to believe us.
Maybe you better explain.
Well, okay.
It all started when we were at the ruined temple.
We were just out exploring.
Hey, Wilykat, let's take a look at that ruin.
Sure.
Looks like some kind of temple.
I wonder who built it.
Hey, what do you think this is? Some kind of tomb? He looks pretty important.
Maybe he was some kind of king.
Let's see if there's anything buried underneath.
It's too heavy.
Wait a minute.
Maybe I can wedge it off.
Come on, Wilykit.
Help me.
It's moving.
Push harder, Wilykat.
What was that? Just thunder.
Come on, let's get this thing open.
Mongor calls.
Mumm-Ra, ever-living source of evil.
Mongor will soon be free.
Call your servant, and I will obey.
Mongor? How can it be? I have sought to free him for three centuries and never found his prison.
We got it.
What? What's that? Who are you? I am the eternal image of fear.
I am called Mongor.
You don't seem very frightening to me.
Wherever fear is Mongor grows more powerful.
What were you kids doing fooling around there, anyway? We didn't mean any harm.
Wilykit, you just have to learn not to mess with things you don't understand.
But how were we to know, Cheetara? Already you have caused dissension among the Thundercats, Mongor.
Soon you will have the power to fight them face to face.
Do you know how much trouble you've caused, Wilykat? We're sorry, Tygra.
You just didn't think, did you? Now, wait a minute.
Why did you do it? I said, wait a minute.
Let's get out of here while we can.
They're only kids.
How do you expect them to learn? If you act all angry like this they'll just be too frightened to come to you when they need help.
You're right, Snarf.
Maybe we've been too hard on them.
All right.
Now, listen, Wily Where are they? They must have slipped out while we were arguing.
We can't have them running around alone while that thing's out there.
Come on.
We should split up.
We'll stand a better chance of finding them.
Okay.
Let's go.
Now.
Seize your chance, Mongor.
Each Thundercat is alone.
Overpower each one singly and with each victory, your power will grow.
Soon, the Third Earth will be restored to a dominion of terror.
Strange.
The forest is so quiet.
Something following me? Something is following me.
Time to make a move.
You cannot hide from Mongor with your Thundercat tricks.
I need some help here.
Thundercats.
You're on your own, Thundercat.
You fool.
Fire cannot harm me.
If that's the best a Thundercat can do you are no match for Mongor.
Remember those carvings on that rock? Sure.
So what? Whoever trapped Mongor in the ruined temple must have made them.
- I guess so, but - lf we can figure out the carvings maybe they can tell us how to defeat Mongor.
Well, we could try.
But I tell you, Wilykit, I don't look forward to going back there.
Wilykat.
Wilykit.
No time to deal with you, Crabman.
Looking for your striped friend, Thundercat? A cute trick, Thundercat.
But only a trick.
No more time for games, Thundercat.
Let's get this over with fast, Wilykat.
I don't like it here at all.
There's the rock.
Looks as if you can get him by kind of redirecting his forces back at him.
See these figures that are reflecting his power? They've all got their backs to him.
Maybe the secret is not to look at him directly.
Maybe, but I sure wish we could ask Tygra about it.
He could figure it out.
This calls for vertical thrust.
Some kind of laser? By thunder! Let's see how you take a little stellarated laser power.
No more than light entertainment, Thundercat.
Time to get out of here.
More toys.
Need an anchor.
Whoever you are, you're tough opposition.
But no way am I giving up.
Maybe this will change your mind.
Hey.
There's your anchor, Thundercat.
Two children and the youth, Lion-O.
All that stands between me and my perpetual reign of evil.
Sword of Omens, give me sight beyond sight.
Help us find Wilykit and Wilykat.
- Nothing? - I don't like it, Snarf.
None of the Thundercats have been in contact yet we've all got communicators.
And there's some kind of force out there that's blocking the Sword's vision.
What was that? Some kind of force.
What? What do you know about force, youth? Who are you? What are you? I am the power of everything you fear.
I am in everything you see.
I am all around you.
Above you.
Beneath you.
I am Mongor.
We need the Thundercats, Snarf.
Thunder, thunder, thunder.
Thundercats, ho! A futile summons, youth.
There is no one to help you.
Powers of Thundera, help me now! Perhaps I underestimated you, cub.
Wilykat! Don't look at him, Lion-O.
That's the source of his power.
Grab the line, Wilykit.
The line.
Sword of Omens, do not fail me now.
You've got him, Lion-O.
He's losing power.
They're getting looser.
The net.
The force is weakening.
For Thundera.
For Jaga.
And for the Thundercats.
Strike down this power of fear.
Don't look at him, Lion-O.
No, Wilykat.
I no longer fear his power.
And without fear, he is nothing.
Go back to your ruined temple and leave the Third Earth to live without fear.
The power of the Thundercats is greater than I thought.
Greater than anything I have overcome before.
But I will never give up.
And one day, my evil will overcome their strength.
That should do it.
Till the next time a couple of inquisitive kids come along.
Oh, it was just an accident, Tygra.
Sure.
He knows that.
He's just teasing.
Besides which, you more than made up for it.
Coming back here must have been the bravest thing you've done.
Oh, not really, Lion-O.
It's just That we were even more scared of your anger than we were of Mongor.
Mongor is fear.
Fear and destruction.
Mongor terrorizes Third Earth.
