Thundercats (1985) s01e32 Episode Script

Look out, Wilykat, you'll fall.
You made me do that, Wilykit.
No, I didn't.
- You fell because you broke the law.
- Broke the law? Which law? The law of gravity.
Now, let's pick up these apples.
Yeah, you're right.
Snarf will never get his applesauce made if we don't hurry.
- My basket's full.
- Yeah, mine too.
Let's get back.
How very charming.
What a tranquil scene.
The Thundercats romp and play unmolested on my planet.
I shall soon put an end to this frivolity.
Begone, foul image.
Driller, sand devil of the deep Earth.
Mumm-Ra summons you once more.
To the pyramid.
I await you.
Diamonds, Driller.
You like diamonds? It is not a question of like or dislike O mighty Mumm-Ra.
Without diamonds a driller's drill point grows dull.
Yes, dull.
And when your point dulls, you are useless.
- Correct? - Yes.
Yes, all-powerful one.
Unable to move and buried under Earth for eternity.
I'm glad we understand each other.
Then you shall do as I say, Driller or I shall stop giving you diamonds.
I shall do as you say.
"I shall do as you say" what? I shall do as you say master.
You are a devoted servant, Driller.
And my mission great and generous giver of diamonds? To the throne room.
I shall show you your mission.
This, Driller, is Acid Lake.
It looks almost innocent but watch.
The lake contains ultrasolvin the most powerful acid known.
Your mission is to drill an underground channel from Acid Lake to the Thundercats' Lair.
Then pipe the acid to the base of the Lair tonight and dissolve it into soup and the Thundercats with it.
Hey, Snarf, that smells great.
I sure would like a taste of some of those apples I helped pick.
Don't get any ideas, Wilykat.
This applesauce is for our late-night snack.
How come we get to stay up late tonight, Snarf? Tygra and Panthro are working on a new super fuel for the ThunderTank.
Tygra says he'll have the formula ready by late tonight.
We're gonna celebrate with the applesauce.
More cinnamon.
- Ready for the test, Panthro? - Ready.
You sure that motor's nailed down tight? If this super fuel is as good as Tygra says it is it could rip that motor right off the table.
Trust me, it'll never leave the table.
- Ignition.
- Ignition.
You did it, Tygra.
And like I said, the motor never left the table.
One drop of super fuel did that? A few drops of that stuff can run our ThunderTank for weeks.
But can't you come up with something that doesn't smell so foul? This stuff is odorless.
Here.
Check this, Lion-O.
You're right.
Maybe it's something Snarf's cooking.
Snarf, what in the world are you cooking? Why, it's your favorite, Lion-O.
Red alert.
Get ready for possible evacuation of the Lair.
- What's going on? - That foul odor.
I put it through the analyzer.
It's ultrasolvic acid.
Same stuff that's in Acid Lake.
We've got to get to the control room and see why Acid Lake is flooding.
First and third quadrants checked.
Flood signs negative.
Second and fourth quadrants checked and negative.
You've covered 360 degrees, and the lake is not flooding.
- Where's it coming from? - We'd better find out, and fast.
Sword of Omens, give me sight beyond sight.
The acid's right under us.
It's eating away at the earth below.
We've got just one chance to save the Lair.
- What's that, Tygra? - There's only one thing that will neutralize the acid.
- Sponge fog? - Right.
We have to cut a big section of it, tow it back and get it under the building to stop the acid.
Sponge fog neutralizes acid? Yes, instantly.
Well, what are we waiting for? Those cursed Thundercats have escaped the acid.
But without the protection of Cats' Lair they will be no match for Mumm-Ra.
And one hour is all it will take for that acid to turn Cats' Lair to liquid chowder.
One hour, Thundercats.
That's all it will take to destroy everything you have on Third Earth.
This is it.
Sponge fog.
We better move fast.
Engage cutters.
We need a block You got it, Lion-O.
Cutters engaged.
I've just struck solid rock.
Disengage and withdraw cutter.
Tygra, have you completed your cut? Yes, I've stopped an inch from the rock.
Withdraw and engage pincer.
Pincer, engaged.
Sponge fog secured in pincers.
Full speed ahead.
- Let's clear out.
- Full ahead.
Monitor tow.
Head back the way we came, Panthro.
I think we Rockmen.
They're onto us.
We have to change course.
But that will take us straight through the Forest of Giant Insects.
It's our only chance.
When I built this thing, I never figured on a storm of boulders.
And we still have a mile to go before we can get off this course.
Too bad you didn't build it with a sponge cover so the rocks could bounce off.
Brilliant idea, Snarf! Cheetara, Tygra, elevate the sponge directly overhead.
Elevating now.
At least we're out of Rockmen country.
But we're still in the woods.
Most of the giant insects feed at night.
And me without my bug spray.
It wouldn't do you much good against this.
They have evaded the Rockmen.
But the mechan-o-sect will destroy the Thundercats forever.
And in half an hour their home base will be just a memory.
Time we gave that mechan-o-sect a little shock.
- One down - And one to go.
Look.
Well, we've got a surprise for you too, Mr.
Beetle.
Blast it.
The transmission must be out.
We've stopped moving.
I'll go out and check.
We've got traction again.
Lion-O did it.
Worm eats cat.
A fitting end for their leader.
Their fates are sealed.
He's taking too long coming back, Panthro.
- Right.
Let's get topside and have a look.
- I'll go.
Lion-O.
He's gone.
Red alert.
Thunder, thunder, thunder.
Thundercats, ho! Thanks, guys.
A few seconds more, and I might have been living in that wormhole.
If we don't get that sponge fog back in time to save Cats' Lair from that acid, we might all be living in a wormhole.
Come on.
Escaped again.
But for the last time.
Their only way back is over the River of Despair.
This time I shall put out their light personally.
Ancient spirits of evil transform this decayed form to Mumm-Ra, the ever-living.
The Bridge of Light.
We're in the home stretch.
Unless I can turn the tank right side up I can't switch to the amphibian mode of this tank.
But we would have to cut free of the sponge fog.
Why can't we just release it? Wrong side up.
The controls are locked.
If we ever get out of this alive, it's back to the drawing board.
I'm going out.
I'll cut that sponge.
Action stations.
We're drifting into the Whirlpool of Infinity.
We'll have to go into a spin maneuver to regain control.
Hang on tight.
- We're right side up.
- But we're still drifting backwards.
We're headed directly for the whirlpool.
Hit your auxiliary jets.
Full power.
Full power coming up.
Full auxiliary power on.
Good work.
Now let's try and grab that sponge fog.
- We made it.
- We made it.
We haven't made it yet.
If we don't get this thing back to the Lair before dark our home is lost.
I am the immortal one yet they survive every ordeal.
But now their time is running out.
The acid fumes are too strong.
We'll have to stay in the tank.
I'll hammer a hole through to the foundation then we'll swivel the ThunderTank and pack the foundation with the sponge fog.
- All right.
- Let's do it.
My time has run out.
But I will never give in.
I will return and wipe the Thundercats off the face of Third Earth.
I still say something smells funny around here.
- Three guesses.
- Applesauce? Burned applesauce.
We didn't get back in time to save it.
Well, one out of two's not bad.
