Thundercats!

[♪♪♪]

Where's Snarfer?

We decided not to cook today,

so he went to order
Mexican takeout

from Rober Roberto's taco
stand at the Berbil Village.

Chili con carne.

Refried beans.

Beef enchiladas.

Guacamole.

[LAUGHS]

Enough. You're
making my mouth water.

Well, Snarfer
should be here soon.

Snarf calling Snarfer.

Where are you?

Snarfer here.

I'm taking the long way

around Dark Side, Unc.

This baby's been
overheating, yup.

SNARF [ON RADIO]: You were
supposed to be here an eon ago.

We're starving.

Well, you sure won't have
to worry about it being cold.

I don't know why they
allow these primitive,

slow-moving junkers

to clog up the space spaces.

I'm going to frost the furball.

[SHIVERS]

Boy, w-who turned up the
a-a-air conditioning? Brr.

[THUD]

Oh, no. My engine cut out.

This is Mandora:
Evil Chaser First Class

in close pursuit of
a hit-and-run, over.

What?

A space cop.

Try this one, flatfoot.

[CHILLA SCREAMS]

This is the
interplanetary police.

Land your vehicle at once.

All right. All right.

I'm landing.

She froze that engine up solid.

How am I gonna deliver
the Mexican take-out now?

[DRONING]

Gosh, officer, was
I going too fast?

Too fast, too low and too bad.

I'm writing you up
for reckless rocketing

and leaving the
scene of a sideswipe.

Now let me see your
license and registration.

Well, it's got to be
here somewhere.

[GAGS]

Hasta mañana, Mandora.

Holy hot sauce.

Chilla's iced Officer Mandora.

Hey, that gives me an idea.

Hang tough, Mandora.

I'll fix you up. [GASPING]

I've got just the thing, yup.

Wha...?

[COUGHS] Oh.

Whoa. What was that you gave me?

Some new super-secret
space medicine?

No. It was the hot sauce

from the Mexican takeout dinner.

I was supposed to be
delivering it to the Thundercats,

when that Chilla iced my ship.

Come on. We'll
deliver it together.

I've got some business
with the Thundercats too.

Oh, boy.

CHILLA: That lady
cop had the nerve

to try and give me a ticket.

I hope she does.

What?

With Lynx-O's braille board,

the Thundercats can get to us.

If we could capture
that braille board,

we could design a
defense against it.

But I don't see...

The only way
Mandora can get to you

is to come through to Dark Side.

And she'll need Lynx-O
and the braille board to do it.

And when she does,

we'll capture both of
them and the braille board.

Exactly.

MANDORA: This is Mandora:

Evil Chaser First Class.

Permission to come aboard?

LION-O: Permission granted.

Ooh, guess what, Uncle Snarf?

I got sideswiped by Chilla.

Ooh, she frosted Mandora and...

Where's our
Mexican takeout food?

We brought it back
on Mandora's bike.

Except, by now, it's "chilly."

[CHUCKLES]

It's a little joke, "chilly."

Yup.

Welcome, Mandora.

It's been awhile
since... Sorry, Lion-O,

I don't have time
for pleasantries.

I have a warrant
here for Chilla's arrest.

I mean to track her
down and serve it.

Oh, if she crossed
over to Dark Side,

you're gonna have
some tough time doing it.

I was made to understand

that you people have
a way to get through.

Mandora, this is Lynx-O.

It is his braille
board that guides us

through the Forest of
Mists and into Dark Side.

All right, Lynx-O. Let's go.

Forgive me, Mandora,

but making that trip is
dangerous in the extreme.

Right. Wait until
Chilla comes out.

And then nab her.

Oh, no. She broke
the interplanetary law,

and she must be made to pay.

The law is the law.

And the degree to which
it is broken is not the point.

I will accompany Mandora

and use my
portable braille board.

Chilla...

you wait at the exit from
the canyons of Dark Side.

When the Thundercats
and Mandora appear,

draw them into the trap.

Will do.

MANDORA: It's a
solid wall of mist.

Are you sure there's an
opening there, Thundercat?

Oh, yes.

Rest assured, the
canyon opening is there.

MANDORA: We'll
never make it through.

It's too narrow.

LYNX-O: Oh, no.

The Thunderstrike
fits through it

with a bit to spare.

The Howling Twist.

The only way to get
through is to go with the flow.

Spin.

Navigation complete, Mandora.

I'm switching from
braille board to manual.

Thank heavens that's over.

Chilla calling Luna.

They've just broken
through the canyon.

Are you ready?

All right, Chilla,

lead them into the trap.

It's all prepared.

Chilla is no doubt hiding
out in some inaccessible spot,

and will have to be...

Hey! That's her.

That nervy lawbreaker
is asking for it.

If she wants
pursuit, she'll get it.

Mandora is falling
right into our trap.

Ahead, you should be able to see

the jagged peaks
of three volcanoes.

You're wrong,
Lynx-O. There are four.

That can't be.

There were only
three on our last trip.

MANDORA: Chilla is heading
right into the closest volcano.

She'll pull up at
the last minute,

hoping I'll follow and crash.

Ha. She must think I'm
still wet behind the ears.

CHILLA: I'm ready.
Are you ready?

Now.

She's going to pull
straight up... now.

Why, she's disappeared
into the side of the volcano.

If she can do it,

so can we.

LUNA: Gotcha.

[LUNA CACKLES]

Well, I got what
you wanted, Luna:

the braille board.

At last.

If we can design a
defense against this,

the Thundercats
will never get through

the Forest of Mists again.

We'll be safe in
Dark Side forever.

I wonder what would happen

if I touched this big button

at the end of the line.

What's happening?

They've all gone but one.

Maybe you better
not touch anything else

until we get an expert.

I'm the expert.

I'll push this
button if I want to.

Where did it go?

Bring in Lynx-O.

Lynx-O,

the braille board
disappeared into thin air.

Where did it go?

Right back where it
came from. In here.

Are you telling me,

what I was holding in
my hands was an idea?

Correct.

All right. Let's see it.

Make it appear right now.

Oh, I'm sorry, but my ideas

don't work in evil company.

Oh, yes, they will,

or Amok will pull
them out of your head

with his bare hands.

Ah, Luna, why not attach

the skull scope to his head

and look in?

That's not a bad idea.

Set it up, Alluro.

ALLURO: If we tell the
skull scope what we want,

it will reach into
Lynx-O's brain and find it.

Then it will be
projected on this screen.

I'll feed in the image word:

braille board.

His thoughts should be
coming up on the screen.

It's blank.

There's nothing there.

I'll put it on a higher setting.

But if we're not careful,
we'll fry his brains.

Do it.

I'm going to maximum.

You are in serious
trouble, Vultureman.

Do you know the penalty

for holding an officer
against her will?

Twenty years to life
on the Penal Planet.

[LAUGHS]

No kidding.

Well, it looks to me

like you're the one doing time.

They're letting Lynx-O
have it right now.

Your turn will be next.

[DOOR OPENS]

Ugh. What do you want, Red Eye?

Just thought I'd have a
little fun with my pacifier

on the Evil Chaser here.

[LAUGHS]

Luna thinks she may know

how to get the
braille board back too.

[LAUGHS]

Good idea.

Give her a couple
of shots for me.

Nothing will make me
happier, Vultureman.

[YELLS]

Look out.

She's got the pacifier.

[SCREAMS]

I'll sound the alarm.

[SCREAMS]

You people are under arrest.

[GROWLS]

Look out!

[GROANS]

All right, perpetrator,

you were warned.

Now accept your punishment.

[CROWS MENACINGLY]

[SCREAMS]

The result of crime
is incarceration.

The screen is still blank.

Doesn't this man have
a thought in his head?

Luna.

Look.

Something's coming
up on the screen.

At last. What is it?

It's hard to tell.

The shape looks familiar.

Who is Lynx-O thinking of?

If I didn't know better,

I'd think it was...

Mandora.

[SCREAMS]

Ye-ow!

I give up.

Smash that miserable person.

I warn you, madam.

I suggest you give
yourself up to the law.

Law?

I am the law here.

Oh, no.

There is one universal law:

good against evil.

I enforce that law.

I am here to take
Chilla back for trial.

We'll stamp you into the floor.

[CACKLES]

Amok!

[WHIMPERING]

Are you all right?

Oh, yes.

I want that criminal,
sideswiping cop freezer,

and I want her now.

Take her.

She's worthless to me.

She's hiding behind that hatch.

Let's wrap this up
and get on home.

We did it. We did it.

We got that dumb flatfoot.

They'll be battered to pieces,

spin-dried, and orbiting
Third Earth forever.

[LUNA CACKLES]

Uh-oh. Trouble.

Sword of Omens, give
me sight beyond sight.

Lynx-O and Mandora.

They'll be smashed to
pieces in that thing, Snarf.

And I don't even have time

to summon the other Thundercats.

You have to do
something, Lion-O.

Thunder, thunder, thunder,

Thundercats, h*!

Wha...? What's happening?

I... I think we're within

the Sword of Omens' force field.

We're being pulled
down to Earth.

Are you okay?

That was some kind of...

I don't have time to stand
around and jaw, Snarf.

I came for Chilla,

and it's Chilla
I'm going to get.

Gee, Mandora,

you must be the most
obstinate cop I ever met.

You betcha, Thundercat.

Now, are you going to
give me a ride to Sky-Tomb,

or do I have to requisition you?

Fire up the
Thunderstrike, Snarf,

and let's show how we cooperate

with the law around here.

There it is.

Put me down behind
that cliff, Lion-O.

I'll approach from
the blind side.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]

MANDORA: Chilla, you
are hereby under arrest.

What? Are you out of your mind?

I'll freeze you both
into a block of ice.

[BLOWS]

[GASPS]

I can't go on.

I've got no more ice.

Before we get underway,

I want you to
drink this, Chilla.

What is it?

Antifreeze.

[LAUGHS]

♪ Thunder, thunder,
thunder Thundercats ♪

Officer Mandora
calling Tower of Omens.

Permission to come aboard.

Snarf to Officer Mandora.

Permission granted.

Don't go anywhere, perpetrator.

Gee, Lynx-O,

it's sure good to have you back.

Yup, that it is.

Yes, sir.

We were getting quite
worried about you.

Heh, don't worry about me.

I've been taking care of myself

for a long time.

I feel we should have given
you more help, Mandora.

Was it a difficult arrest?

A piece of cake.

Chilla's in custody as we speak.

That Mandora's one tough cop.

She always gets her man,

no matter what the crime.

Large or small.

Thundering traffic tickets!

What's the matter
with you, Snarfer?

I left my ship double-parked
on the hangar ramp.
