Tangled: The Series (2017) s02e20 Episode Script

1 (theme song playing) I got the wind in my hair and a fire within 'Cause there's something beginning I got a mystery to solve and excitement to spare That beautiful breeze blowing through I'm ready to follow it who knows where And I'll get there, I swear With the wind in my hair (eerie music) Just another day's travel and we are at the Dark Kingdom! Hope we packed our torches! (owl hoots) Because the Kingdom is dark is where I was going with that.
Are you okay, Eugene? You seem distracted.
Huh? Oh.
Uh I didn't want to make light of it? - (Pascal squeaks) - EUGENE: Look, it's just now that we're so close to the Dark Kingdom, it all feels more real, ya know? Ha.
I mean, crazy rhino-man said if we went there, we were doomed.
And we have no idea what we're in for! And our only clue as to what's waiting for us is on three stupid pieces of a torn scroll.
That we can't even read! I know it's scary, Eugene, but we cannot turn back now.
Besides, you and I have other plans.
Or at least we should have other plans.
Birthday plans? Oh my gosh, I forgot your birthday! How could you forget, Eugene?! I'm so sorry! You know what, I'm pretty sure that giant firefly scorched my date book and Wait a minute, it's not your birthday! Ha-ha, got you! Oh, you should have seen your face! - Pascal, Pascal, do his face.
- (Pascal squeaks) (both laughing) Well, then whose birthday is it? Happy birthday! You know I don't have a birthday right? I know we don't know when you were born, but everybody has a birthday.
So I figured, why not today? Oh! Make a wish! Uh, just don't eat the cupcake.
Eh, I don't really believe in the whole wish-making thing, or really anything (chuckles) that I can't see with my own eyes.
That I see, frog.
Okay, okay, fine, you don't need to make a wish.
It is your day.
You do what you want.
Let's just make it our day.
And, you know what? I'm not gonna worry about tomorrow, or the Dark Kingdom.
I'm just gonna live in the moment.
And nothing and I mean nothing can ruin this moment.
(animal bleating) (bleating continues) Smooch on your own time, canoodlers! Oh, come on! Canardist and Vigor?! Are they following us? They gotta be following us.
- I have half a mind to - I'm sure they're not following us.
We have been following you.
Nehh Vigor wants to give you an important fortune.
He seems to have grown attached to you.
(chuckles) There is no accounting for taste.
Well, I like him, too.
That curse of deadly misfortune? Pfft! - Water under the bridge.
- (Vigor screeches) Don't touch his banana.
Oh-ho-ho, lemme guess.
The price of this (imitating Madame Canardist) "important fortune" is five silver pieces.
The prediction is free, of course.
Now, quiet down and let Vigor summon the spirits from beyond.
Ugh, banana peels everywhere.
(clanking) - (thunder) - (Pascal squeaking) Yawn (screeches) (chattering) Heavier yawn.
- (lightning strikes) - Vigor! (whispering indistinctly) Ah! (clinking) The things you keep under your turban! Wonders never cease.
"For you, the path awaits, "where the final quarter lies, after many dire straits.
" "Final quarter?" (gasps) He's gotta be talking about the fourth piece of the scroll! (stammering) That's what you got from that? I got absolute gibberish.
If he meant the fourth piece of the scroll, why not just say "fourth piece of the scroll"?! (scoffs) That would throw off the rhyme! Eugene, we need the fourth piece to make sense of the others.
And besides, doesn't this sound like it's gonna be a birthday to remember? Fine.
Where is this path deal? MADAME CANARDIST: Vigor will guide you for five silver pieces.
(Vigor chatters) EUGENE: Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- It's my birthday, remember?! - (Vigor screeching) RAPUNZEL: Vigor! Wait up! What did you find? EUGENE: "The Path of Demanitus.
" Demanitus was that engineer-inventor guy who built the thing that stopped the blizzard in Corona.
EUGENE: Whoa, hello.
(Vigor screeches) EUGENE: Vigor? Monkey? (imitating Madame Canardist) Want a banana? Vigor? (dramatic music) It's a-a-a A-maze-ing! This is great! I've always wanted to go through a giant maze.
I'm happy for you, I am.
But look at that! It woulda been nice if Demanitus left us, I don't know, a map or something.
VIGOR: You require no map (dramatic music) For I am Lord Demanitus! (Pascal squeaks) (Pascal growls) (laughing) Yeah.
Nice try, Canardist! He's not Demanitus! EUGENE: That guy lived a thousand years ago! (laughs) Oh, that's rich! Yeah Well, no strings (sniffs) Although, you certainly smell like a 1000-year-old monkey! Okay, what's the trick here, huh? Come on, costume? Very convincing lifelike costume? This is no subterfuge, I assure you.
I am Lord Demanitus, protector of ancient Corona, devotee of science and invention, who has emerged from this monkey in your time of need.
Banana! (chattering) (chewing) Mm mmm What is going on here? (swallows) Listen, and listen well Millennia ago, a mysterious event in the heavens divided an ancient power in two.
The Sun-Drop and MoonStone fell to the Earth! Three of my pupils and I researched the legend of the Sun-Drop and MoonStone two elements that longed to re-unite.
We searched, but, alas, could not find them.
Unfortunately, we were not the only ones looking.
(chanting spell) DEMANITUS: My pupils betrayed me, and summoned my old nemesis, Zhan Tiri! A warlock from another realm, - bent on destruction.
- (Zhan Tiri roars) It took all of my powers to banish the evil from our world.
I knew the research I had written about the Sun-Drop and MoonStone was valuable.
Dangerous in evil hands.
So I tore the scroll, and hid the pieces! I placed the final piece within the maze which I created to keep away the unworthy.
Oh! You have a little something right there, I think it's banana.
Hm And you're a monkey because? I could not let Zhan Tiri find me! Using my scientific acumen coupled with an ancient spell, I was able to create a hiding place, a living, simian creature, inside of which I would lay dormant until such time as I could emerge, again.
Ironclad logic.
- Why didn't you come out before? - I'm no sorcerer, but from what I understand of the spell, it would allow me to emerge from this form but once and only for a few short hours.
After which, my spirit shall retreat into this monkey forever.
(chattering) Wow, if this guy really is Demanitus, this is a huge honor! If this guy is Demanitus.
How do we know he isn't another one of Zhan Tiri's cronies? RAPUNZEL: I hear you, I hear you.
Cautious optimism.
Emphasis on the caution.
RAPUNZEL: Dead end! This is so much fun! Okay, okay, okay.
So, that was a a right turn (dramatic note) Not encouraging.
"A room with no way in, and no way out, see it in the rain, but never in a drought.
" It's a riddle! I.
Love.
Riddles.
Okay, no one tell me the answers.
- RAPUNZEL: I got this.
- Seriously? Riddles? What the heck are riddles gonna do for us here?! Riddles shall help you get through this maze.
And also faith.
(chewing) - Cut it out.
- Sorry habit.
Ahh You must not believe in only what you see.
All right, look.
When you grow up like I did, you learn real quick: the difference between believing only what you see and "having faith things will work out" could be the difference between eating a hot meal or having your last.
I don't want your flea-scratching stick! (screams) Gimme the stick, gimme the stick! (squeaking) (dramatic music) - Oh, for the love of! - Ivory spiders! (gasps) They're venomous! Do not let them bite you! (squeaking) Come on, Demanitus, tell us the answer! I don't remember! I built this 1,000 years ago, what do you expect?! Oh, I don't know, I expected you to maybe remember how to get out of your own spider death trap! - (squeaking) - (squishing) (clang) Wait, I got it! "A room with no way in" a mushroom! Ah-ha! EUGENE: Oh, oh, oh, oh, there's one! (door slides open) (dramatic music) (spider squeaks) I told you faith would get us through! What did that have to do with faith! "If thou wish to skirt a deadly stress, donate a coin, and earn safe egress" - Hm - (coin flips) Oh, um think I misplaced my wallet.
Of course, the monkey has no money.
Oh, it's okay.
- I'll spot you.
- (coin flips) - DEMANITUS: We're waiting.
- Ugh.
Oh, come on, this is my last coin! Think of it as a birthday wish.
I'm sorry, Blondie, it's just not my style.
I know, I know, you think I'm being cynical.
Mm-hmm Okay, fine, I'll put the coin in.
I already paid that stupid monkey five coins.
(roars) RAPUNZEL: "Remove a piece, and I increase - No, wait! - (door opens) (screeches) (grunting) (dramatic music) The fourth piece of the scroll! We did it! (sighs, chatters) We'd better hurry.
EUGENE: "Before thou claim thy glory, "have faith the crystal bridge shall lead to thy quarry.
"Use the key to unlock, after thy faithful walk.
" It's really not your best work.
Yes, yes, but look A mon-key! No, denied.
Here.
Why did you just do that?! You were supposed to catch it! I wasn't ready! You gotta warn me! I said, "here"! - That is not - Eugene you can pick the lock.
Fine.
Rapunzel bobby pin me.
"Mon-key" (crystal cracking) (sizzling) Acid, really? "Faith.
" Right, right.
Faith (lock clicks) (rumbling) Eugene! Run! (crystal cracking) Pull me up, pull me up! (rumbling, crashes) Okay what can we learn from this? How about crystal makes for a terrible bridge.
- How's that? - Eugene! Look.
(energy surging) Maybe there really is something to this faith business after (booming footsteps) Good gravy, what is that?! (booming footsteps continue) (Demanitus chatters) - DEMANITUS: What did you do?! - What? - The coin! - (ching) You were supposed to put it in the fountain! Okay, so who cares if I didn't put the coin in? What's the big deal? (booming footsteps continue) That is the big deal.
(booming footsteps) (growls) (dramatic music) (roars) - Faith is great, now turn it off! - DEMANITUS: I can't! I didn't construct it with vulnerabilities! I thought people would be smart enough to put a coin in! (roaring) Ooh! Ooh, I'm not smart?! Well who builds a giant whatever-that-is, and doesn't throw in an off switch, huh? Huh?! That is not smart! Eugene, next time, dodge and then make your point.
(roaring) (screams) (chattering) (roaring) We all make mistakes, but perhaps I can atone for my errors.
(Demanitus screeching) (roars) (screeching continues) (screeching continues) RAPUNZEL: In there! (door closing) (chain falls) (roars) - Phew ah! - (crumbling) Oo-oo! I'm running out of time, listen one must unite the Sun-Drop and MoonStone to summon the ultimate power.
Fourth piece of the scroll contains the instructions to wield that power.
Wield the power? In the right hands, it can be used for good.
In the wrong hands, it could be inconceivably deadly.
Now you know why I tested your faith to ensure the purest of hearts - controls the power! - (Pascal squeaks) Then what if we just leave the MoonStone alone, right? If the Sun-Drop does not join with the MoonStone, the black rocks will reawaken, and seek you out forever.
It'll destroy everything in your path! Oh, yes, let's not do that.
(clears throat) I have a question how do we get out of this miserable doom labyrinth?! - (crumbling) - (growls) The moon cannot be seen without the sun's light.
She gives you light.
Now, you must return the favor with your faith.
Demanitus, I don't think I have it.
It's not that you need to have faith, it's that you need to find the faith you already have, think RAPUNZEL: It's a riddle! No one tell me the answers, I got this.
A mushroom! You were great! I do have faith.
I've always had faith in Rapunzel.
(chattering) - (squeaking) - DEMANITUS: Oh no no, no - oh no - No! Please stay, Demanitus! I have so many questions! H-how does my hair work, uh, what does the MoonStone do Questions you must answer yourself I waited millennia in this monkey to meet the Sun-Drop.
I have faith in you.
(screeching) - (squeaks) - (whines) (chattering) - (Demanitus screeching) - (crumbling) (growling) (dramatic music) - Blondie, you're going to save us.
- How?! I don't know.
But I've always believed in us.
I've always believed in you.
(Pascal chitters) (growling) (roars) (boom, explosion) Well, looks like my birthday wish came true.
RAPUNZEL: That was - EUGENE: Don't say it - RAPUNZEL: A-maze-ing! (groans) Oh, there it was.
See ya, Vigor.
It's been educational.
(chattering) (sniffs) (groans) (door slams) - Well, shall we - Wait! Wait, please! Vigor said he wanted you to have this.
Unfortunately it is free.
No, no, take it.
- I think I owe him.
- If you insist.
Ah! Blondie.
I gotta say, this has been the weirdest, best birthday I've ever had.
Now c'mon, we got a Dark Kingdom to get to.
And then Vigor said, "For I am Demanitus!" Now this is a monkey talking, by the way.
So he took us to a maze, and-and there were riddles.
Oh, Cass, Cass! You know how much I love riddles! Oh! This one, I had to put my arm in a wall, totally figured it out.
DEMANITUS: "At the end of Rapunzel's journey, one of her party shall turn against her.
" (dramatic, eerie music) Pascal, Pascal, do the face again - (Pascal squeaks) - (laughter) That's the one! That's the face, oh! - (Rapunzel continues, indistinct) - (Shorty laughs) (theme music playing) Now I got my eyes open and wide My heart burnin' like fire Feels like I'm so alive I'm never goin' back Whatever I want now, I'm gonna chase Who I am, I can't contain it I'm not gonna hold it in 'Cause there's more of me to give Oh, yeah, yeah There's more of me to give
