Thundercats (1985) s01e31 Episode Script

Pull over there.
This is officer Mandora, Evil Chaser of Control Force Five, speaking.
Stand by, I'm coming aboard.
Good evening to you, officer.
I'm Captain Cracker of the Starfish.
Mandora, Evil Chaser, first-class, Force Five Control.
What's the problem, officer? Broken running lights, unreadable galaxy numbers, visible radio, active exhaust.
I want to see your papers, mister.
Man the space boats, boys.
We're going down.
Where's your crew? I'm all alone, officer.
Haven't had a crew for years.
All right, we're going to take her down for inspection.
Stand by to come around for descent.
Put down? But where? The Grey Prison Planet.
It's in orbit six below us.
There's an official inspection station there.
But what about the defense shield? I've got my decoder.
I'll beam you right into the security compound.
Of course, officer.
Anything you say.
I'll alert them.
This is Officer Mandora, inbound with a space freighter.
Stand by, port seven-six-niner.
We're ground bound.
Listening to the police band? It's Mandora, hauling in a space freighter.
I'll see if I can get a picture on the monitor.
There it is.
Look at that old space wreck.
Have you ever seen one like it? Why, that's an old X-4 neutron drive.
Wait a minute.
Look at that transom.
See how it's shaped like an ancient galleon? That's the Jolly Rogers.
- The what? - The famous pirate ship.
Years ago it plundered the planets.
The captain was a renegade robot named Cracker.
He was exiled into a fixed orbit and left to space rot.
But he can't still be around.
No? Warn Mandora now, before it's too late.
Cats' Lair to Mandora.
Cats' Lair to Mandora.
Come in, Cats' Lair.
Warning! Warning! You are onboard the pirate ship called The Jolly Rogers, bucko.
Tickle her timbers.
Tickle her timbers.
Warning! Captain Cracker, I place you under close space arrest.
Not likely.
Attack her, me hearties.
Crunch her bones.
Crunch her bones.
Cease and desist, Cracker, before anyone else is deactivated.
No.
We don't want to damage the control deck.
You win, officer.
I'm sure we can work this out.
Now who's locked up? Ready, me hearties.
Blast anything that moves.
Take the prison.
Shiver their timbers.
Shiver their timbers.
Halt.
Mayday! Mayday! This is Grey Prison Planet Six under attack.
Do you read me? Thundercats here.
This is Lion-O.
I'm trapped in the pirate ship and they've overrun the guards and taken the prison.
- What can I do? - Get here immediately.
But we have no intergalactic vehicles here.
Then listen up.
We've got beam to beam contact so I'm going to send you the Electra-Charger by remote control.
Project these numbers on your communo-computer board.
Ready? Ten, 22, 18.
Oh, no.
Mandora, what is it? They've opened the cells.
For thousand of years, the worst the unimaginable evil things from 100 planets have been locked away here.
Now they're all loose.
There it is, Snarf.
I don't like this going off alone.
There's no other way, Snarf.
I've got to get there fast to help out Mandora.
That police person is always in trouble.
Of course, that's the business she's in.
Go with Jaga's luck.
Officer Mandora come out, my dear, or we'll blast you out.
Oh, no, you won't.
This ship is your only way out of here.
You won't damage it.
You're right about that, but we have other ways.
You recognize Quick Pick here? I'm told he's an old friend, a reformed man and not popular among the other honest thieves and murderers.
I assure you, sir, I am neutral here.
Just doing my time.
Now, Officer Mandora, either you leave my ship or I'll literally take this onetime king of the pickpockets apart.
You can't threaten the law.
Please, sir.
I'm right-handed.
Stop that! Cease at once! It's loose.
All right.
Enough.
I'm coming down.
Wise decision.
Rhino, See-Thu escort Officer Mandora ashore.
We'll have to have a special welcome for Officer Mandora.
Boil her in oil.
Boil her in oil.
They've left the defense shield off and the security compound open.
I can slip in.
Well, look what we have here the pride of the force.
Where's Quick Pick? Why, right over Rhino, go! Catch him.
Bring him back, and we'll boil him in oil with Mandora.
Boil him in oil.
Boil him in oil.
Boil him in oil.
What was that I hit? It It doesn't seem to be breathing.
I wonder if Be careful.
Careful.
This cape was a gift of the caliph of Venus.
Lion-O.
Help! What was that? A Rhinosauran.
This prison is teeming with all sorts of monsters.
All of them loose.
I know.
I got Mandora's SOS.
I saw you come in.
Let's get on that space bike and leave at once.
Not before I find Mandora.
Mandora? By now, Captain Cracker is boiling her in oil.
What? Stay here if you want.
I'm going after Mandora.
Wait for me.
Anyway, you've got that sword.
The Eye of Thundera cannot be activated here because of the magnetic field.
You mean we have to tackle this on our own? Our cooking pot is ready.
It's time for the main course.
Boil her in oil.
Boil her in oil.
We can't break in here.
Those guns the robots carry are lightning-bolt blasters.
There has to be another way.
As I remember, you were an expert with other peoples' locks.
Who? Me? Either you get us in the easy way, or we're going the hard way.
As a trusty, I had access to the prison keys.
Fortunately, I made copies against just such an emergency.
Stop talking and open it.
Do you know where you're going? Well, let's see do we turn right? Or left? Hurry.
Make up your mind.
Time to drop her in the pot.
We have a lot of hungry robots here.
The prison dining room is right above us.
Wait a minute.
I can see movement.
Robots.
Great Jaga! They've got Mandora hung over a boiling pot.
Open this door.
This button looks important.
You've hit the orbit brake! You're bringing the planet to a stop.
You're going to throw everything off the planet and spin us all into oblivion! Be quick.
Everybody to the Jolly Rogers.
Abandon ship, ye lubbers.
Head for the lifeboats, boys.
The door opened.
Of course.
I knew what I was doing all the time.
Stop them! Shiver their timbers.
Shiver their timbers.
Take her, hurry.
Quick Pick, shut the door! To the ship.
Faster.
If they get Lion-O aboard that pirate ship we may never see him again.
- We missed it.
Oh, well, too bad.
- Wrong.
We're going to give close pursuit in the Electra-Charger.
Maybe I should wait here.
Well, my boy, maybe you'd like to know our next port of call.
- Third Earth.
- What? That's right.
Your home port.
Tonight the skull and crossbones will be flying over your Cats' Lair.
Are you sure this is right? The bike is just ahead.
And just what do you think we have in store for you me bucko? Walk the plank.
Walk the plank.
You gave it away.
Here's the bike.
There you are, me hearty.
The pirates' plank.
When you step off that, you'll drop a zillion miles.
March! But with their head start, you'll never catch them.
Wrong.
The Electra-Charger will catch them easily.
I was afraid of that.
Keep going, boy.
You've got a long walk on a short pier.
Maybe you got the trajectory wrong.
We should have sighted the Jolly Rogers' lights.
It's got to be there.
Go on.
If you don't jump before I count three we're gonna blast you.
One, two You You caught me.
- Of course.
- No problem.
Cracker is going to attack Cats' Lair.
And I have no way of warning them.
- Will this help? - The Eye of Thundera.
You retrieved it.
Well, I certainly wasn't going to let a valuable piece of property lay around with all those crooks loose.
Thunder.
Thunder.
Thunder.
Thundercats! Thundercats! Tygra ready.
Cheetara ready.
- Wilykit - And Kat ready.
ready.
Snarf Ready.
Reactor engaged.
Traction locked.
All go.
I'll put her in nice and quiet, me hearty and they'll never know what hit them.
When that gangway drops, charge! Fire.
Help! You've got your foot in my good eye.
Man the lifeboats.
Man the lifeboats.
All right, mates, we've made our catch.
Reel them in.
How will you get all those prisoners back in their cells on the prison planet, Mandora? They're already back.
When Quick Pick hit the orbit brake they couldn't get back in their cells fast enough.
It was planned.
- Of course.
- Will Quick Pick be pardoned? I might ask the galaxy governor to parole him in my custody as an assistant.
Hear that? You're going to get to ride around on the back of the Electra-Charger with Mandora.
Marvelous.
What's going to be Captain Cracker's fate, Mandora? Boil him in oil.
Boil him in oil.
Traitor!
