01x32 - Return of the Driller

[bunniefuu]

Thundercats!

Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!

Thundercats, h*!

Arrrrrhhhh!

[Roaring] thundercats!

Captioning made
possible by warner bros.

[Laughter]

Look out, wilykat. You'll fall.

Whoa!

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.

Ha ha ha ha!

Now, let's pick up these apples.

Yeah, you're right.

Snarf will never get
his applesauce made

If we don't hurry.

Wilykit: my basket's full.

Yeah, mine, too. Let's get back.

Mumm-ra: 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.

[Chanting spell]

Mumm-ra summons you once more.

To the pyramid.

I await you.

Diamonds, driller.

You like diamonds.

Ah, it is not a question
of like or dislike,

Oh, 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.

[Laughing sinisterly]

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...

[Chuckles]

But watch.

[Laughs sinisterly]

The lake contains ultrasolvic...

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.

[Laughing]

Hey, snarf, that smells great.

I sure would like

A taste of some of
those apples I helped pick.

[Whiny voice] "snarf, snarf!"

Don't get any ideas, wilykat.

This applesauce is for
our late-night snack.

How come we get to stay
up late tonight, snarf?

Well, tygra and panthro

Are working on a new superfuel

For the thundertank.

Tygra says

He'll have the formula
ready by late tonight.

Mmm. We're going to
celebrate with the applesauce.

More cinnamon.

[Whirring]

Ready for the test, panthro?

Ready.

You sure that motor's
nailed down tight?

If this superfuel

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.

Cheetara: one drop of
superfuel did that? Wow.

A few drops of that stuff

Can run our
thundertank for weeks.

[Sniffing]

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.

[Sniffs]

Maybe it's something

Snarf is cooking.

Snarf, what in the
world are you cooking?

Why, it's your favorite, lion-o.

Oh?

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.

Panthro: 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.

[Cackling]

Panthro: this is
it... Sponge fog.

Lion-o: we better move
fast. Engage cutters.

We need a block 20
by 20 by 3 feet deep.

Cheetara: you've 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.

Panthro: full ahead.
Monitor tow.

Head back the way
we came, panthro.

I think we...

[Crashing]

Panthro: rock men.
They're on to us.

We have to change course.

Lion-o: 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.

Tygra: elevating now.

[Growls]

At least we're out
of rock men country.

But we're still in the woods.

Most of the giant
insects feed at night.

And me without

My bug spray. Meow.

It wouldn't do you
much good against this.

They have evaded the rock men,

But the mechano-sects

Will destroy the
thundercats forever,

And in half an hour,

Their home base
will be just a memory.

[Cackling]

[Roaring]

Time we gave

That mechano-sect
a little shock.

[Howling]

One down.

And one to go. Look.

Well, we've got a surprise

For you, too, mr. Beetle.

Panthro: 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.

Mumm-ra: worm eats cat...

A fitting end for their leader.

Their fates are sealed.

Snarf: meow.

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.

All: h*!

Thunder, thunder,

Thunder,

Thundercats, h*!

[Distant roaring]

♪ Thundercats are on the move ♪

♪ Thundercats are loose ♪

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!

Raaah!

The bridge of light.

We're in the homestretch.

[Yelling]

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.

Panthro: we're right side up.

Lion-o: 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.

Lion-o: good work.

Now let's try and
grab that sponge fog.

Wilykat and wilykit: 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.

[Laughing sinisterly]

Panthro: 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.

[Growling]

[Sniffing]

I still say

Something smells
funny around here.

3 Guesses.

Applesauce?

Burned applesauce.

We didn't get back
in time to save it.

Well, one out of two is not bad.
