Thundercats (1985) s01e22 Episode Script
031 - The Astral Prison
Sword of Omens, give me sight beyond sight.
I have planned this moment for many years.
Now, at last, Jaga you are my prisoner.
A prisoner for all eternity.
Jaga, a prisoner! Cheetara, Panthro, Tygra! Unusual activity in the Cats' Lair.
What can those wretched Thundercats be planning? - I have to help him, but how? - The problem is how to find Jaga.
We have to find some way of communicating with him.
We need someone, something that understands the Astral World.
There's only one person like that on Third Earth.
The Netherwitch.
So Lion-O wants the Netherwitch to help him visit the Astral World.
If only he knew that Mumm-Ra and the Netherwitch are one and the same.
Ancient spirits of evil transform this decayed form to Mumm-Ra the ever-living! And now, sorcerers of the Netherworld make Mumm-Ra the Netherwitch! Are you sure you want to go through with this, Lion-O? - You'll be putting yourself in great danger.
- Jaga needs me.
And if the Netherwitch is the only person who can help me find him I have no choice.
Look out! Well, there it is, the Bridge of Slime.
And that dark hole must be the pit of the Netherwitch.
- We should go with you, Lion-O.
- No, Tygra.
I have to do this alone.
No one can help.
- There must be something we can do.
- You can wish me luck.
Thundercats, ho! Well, I guess it's time.
I'll soon take care With Lion-O out of the way, we'll never have a better chance to smash the Thundercats once and for all, yes? If he is out of the way.
Why should Mumm-Ra lie? It's not in his interest.
Watch what you're doing, you cowardly wretch.
Relax, Jackalman.
Those Thundercats don't stand a chance against the Thundranium Cannon.
Well, here goes.
So, lord of the Thundercats you want to enter the Astral World to free your mentor, Jaga? How? How did you know that? I am the Netherwitch, Lion-O.
I know everything.
Will you help me? Can you get me into the Astral World? Of course.
But I warn you that once you are there, you will never return.
- But - No! You will leave Third Earth forever! You must make your choice, Lion-O.
Whatever I have to do to free Jaga, I'll do it.
Ancient spirits of the void transport Lion-O to your Astral World.
Mumm-Ra! You will never return to the Cats' Lair, Lion-O.
You are trapped in the Astral World forever! Time to find out if my powers work in this Astral World.
Too close.
Is the Thundranium Cannon ready, Vultureman? Ready and loaded with Thundranium shells the only material on Third Earth that's known to weaken those blasted Thundercats.
Only when you surrender all your knowledge to me will I consider the possibility of your freedom, Jaga.
Never.
Brave words, feeble fool but I, Nemex, have all eternity to change your mind.
And, Jaga, you can be sure I will change your mind! Not if I have anything to do with it.
The Eye of Thundera, Lion-O! Use its power! Guards! Guards! Help! Help me! - Who are you? - My name is Brodo.
Many centuries ago, I was the most powerful magician on Third Earth.
But my wizardry threatened Mumm-Ra's evil dominion.
He tricked me and I have been here in the Astral Prison ever since.
Come on.
Let's get out of here before Nemex rallies his forces.
How can I ever thank you, young man? By Thundera, Lion-O.
I never thought I'd see you again.
Now we'll be together forever, Jaga.
- I can never return to Third Earth.
- No, Lion-O.
Your place is there, not here in the Astral World.
I have no choice.
I am with you now and forever.
Sword of Omens, give me sight beyond sight.
Those are Thundranium shells.
We have to get away from them.
The Thundranium level's at 129 and rising fast.
We've got to nail that cannon.
I'm taking the ThunderTank.
Looks like we've got them this time.
The cat's paw.
Look out! Fire! Fire, Vultureman! Fire before it's too late.
Direct hit! Cats' Lair is being destroyed.
They need me, Jaga, and I'm stuck here.
I can get you back there.
- Will you do it, Brodo? - Lf it will repay you for saving me.
Ancient spirits of good transport this young Lion-O back to his own world.
Thundercats, ho! Thunder, thunder, thunder.
Thundercats, ho! That's my boy! Thundercats, ho! Thundercats, ho! I owe my freedom to your bravery, Lion-O.
I don't think I'd have been so brave if I had known what I was getting into in the Astral World.
But you did confront the unknown, Lion-O.
That takes real courage.
It's always easier to deal with dangers you know and understand.
Well, I just couldn't stand by and watch, Jaga.
I had to do something.
I will always be grateful.
It was no more than you did for us when you saved the Thundercats and brought us here from Thundera.
So now we're even, lord of the Thundercats.
Jaga, wait! He's gone.
I tell you, Snarf, the thought of being stuck there in the Astral World really made me appreciate our life here on Third Earth.
Mutants and all? Mutants and all.
Well, perhaps from now on, you'll keep your feet on the ground.
I have planned this moment for many years.
