Slugterrainea s01e12 Episode Script
Undertow
1 1x12 - Undertow You know I've thought about it and blowing up Blakk's refinery without a plan wasn't smart.
Now you have second thoughts? [ laser fire .]
Nope.
Just said it wasn't smart.
But I mean c'mon, those fireworks were awesome! [ screeching .]
[ shrieks .]
[ sighs in relief .]
Phew! [ chitters .]
It was pretty cool when the place went [ imitates explosion .]
Now we just need to quietly slip out of this cavern and we're home free.
Trixie: One problem with that, Eli.
How are we supposed to "slip out" with these everywhere? Okay, you know what this is unacceptable! Even Pronto thinks this is bad.
Bad? [ stutters .]
It's horrible! Where is the bravado? The genius? Ah! See? Now that is a wanted poster.
Hate to rush an artist at work, but we need an exit.
Which is precisely why I, in my wisdom, have lead us here! Uh, to a dead end? No, Kord, not to a dead end! To our daring escape route! Eli: What is this place? Pronto: Why, the Flumes of course! The under-river! You know I was quite the nautical mole in my day! - What day was that? - Mmm, I think it was a Tuesday.
I've heard of this place.
A waterway under Slugterra.
Most people stopped using it when I was a kid.
[ metal banging .]
[ indistinct radio chatter .]
- They're coming! - And we've got nowhere to run! Slugterra! [ chirps .]
[ title music .]
Slugterra! Slugterra! - What do we do? - Leave our mechs and, swim for it? I got a better idea.
- Ugh! - Cool! - Wow! - Show off.
I modded yours, too.
The yellow button.
[ screams .]
Yeah! [ laughs .]
The Shane Gang are heading south in the Flumes! I didn't know our mecha-beasts could shred like this! Oh, there's a lot these babies can do.
[ grunts .]
I just wish they could also keep me dry.
Dude, for real? You don't like water? Let's just say I take one bath a year and, uh, it's under protest, all right? Yes, and I protest you only taking one bath a year.
[ chuckles .]
So hardly anyone uses the Flumes anymore? - Why? - Bah.
Who wants wet-wetty-wetness, when you can ride in luxury on the Slugterran Express? [ screams .]
[ screams .]
Whoa! Whoa! [ all yelling .]
Whoa! [ shushing .]
Huh? Eli! [ both chuckling .]
Uh what's their deal? Um, if we have stopped, why are we still moving? Think we're about to find out! Go back! Go! Go! [ screams .]
[ grunts .]
[ all screaming .]
[ gasping .]
[ gasping .]
[ sputtering .]
[ coughing .]
No need to worry.
Pronto's brilliant nautical sense tells him that the worst is over! [ shrieks .]
[ loud horn blows .]
You had to say it.
Malvolio: Hands in the air, princesses! You trespassers face Malvolio Drake, master of the cavern seas! Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.
So, we didn't mean to trespass.
We just kind of, um, ended up here.
[ scoffs .]
"Here" is Undertow Cavern, princesses.
Where the business belongs to yours truly.
What business is that? [ scoffs .]
What do I look like to you? An accountant? A basket weaver? [ all laughing .]
I'm in the pirate racket! And if you want to pass, the ransom is half your slugs.
[ all chittering .]
- And if we refuse? - Then I'll be a few slugs poorer.
And you'll be shark chow! Not if they can't catch us! - That's the plan, Eli? - C'mon, our mecha's got to be faster than a huge honking boat like that.
I don't think the ship is trying to catch up to us.
- Mr.
Watts! - Uh, yes, Captain.
Show them what a barrage of Frostcrawlers can do! They've got cannons? Don't tell me they fire Trixie: Slugs! Ah! We've put so much distance between us, we're out of range! - I think - Don't say it! We're in the clear! [ laser fire .]
Ah! We have got to stop saying that kind of stuff! Ready Burpy? [ pirates screaming .]
Well, that is exactly what I was going to do.
[ whistles .]
Not so tough without your cannons, huh? Can I take that back? Give 'em everything we've got! - Oh, no - Run! [ shrieks .]
[ all screaming .]
[ Malvolio laughs maniacally .]
[ coughing .]
Okay! We have considered your offer and will happily give you some of our slugs now.
Ha! Nice try, Mole Face.
But the price has gone up.
Now it's all your slugs! [ gasps .]
And your enthusiastic servitude! Nothing personal, princesses.
[ menacing laughter .]
This can't get any worse.
Ugh, yeah it can.
I can't feel my toes.
I'm pretty sure some of these barnacles have barnacles.
- This is impossible.
- Well, that's because, on a ship, you must scrub counterclockwise! Now, listen to me and I will tell you in excruciating detail exactly what you were doing wrong and how I know better.
And you said this couldn't get any worse.
Watts: Attention deck monkeys, Captain Drake on deck.
[ groans .]
[ growls .]
Thought you said this wasn't personal.
Don't flatter yourself, princess! I'm a pirate! Making you do my chores for me is just another day at the office.
Doesn't seem like you're doing a good job, though.
That's what Pronto was saying! It should be done counterclockwise like [ flailing cry .]
[ hysterical laughter .]
Now this one is wasted on deck monkey duties! [ laughs .]
You see? A man who recognizes seafaring skills! Yeah, I do, and you don't got any.
But on the cold, empty sea, good distractions are hard to find.
How'd you like to be my new cabin mole? [ squeals .]
A promotion? [ laughs excitedly .]
[ clears throat .]
So, uh, what sort of perks come with the title? The perk of not being tossed to the sharks over that there plank! Give him the heave-ho, boys! Whoa! Oy, that's cold! In that case I humbly accept! Now then, the reason I graced you lot with my presence.
It's time to get down to the real business! [ growls .]
Of all my ill-gotten treasure, this is the prize of my collection.
Behold! Every toenail clipping I've had since Pirate School! Beautiful, ain't it? - Ugh! - Why would you do that? Because every part of me's special.
Toe nails are no exception.
Burpy! You guys, okay? You've got hundreds of slugs in there.
What do you even need them all for? "For"? For having the most slugs! That's how you play the pirate game.
Guy with the most slugs wins.
[ laughing .]
Don't! [ growls .]
Stay away from my Mimkey, princess.
This little guy's more valuable than all you deck monkeys put together.
And don't even think about trying anything other than cataloging my collection.
Fang'll be watching.
[ growls .]
Now get to work, deck monkeys! Ah! So, uh, just deck monkeys then? Not cabin moles? Oh, no.
I got something much better for you, Mole Face.
Ooh.
Better? [ crying .]
Pronto does not want to be cabin mole anymore! Make it stop! Make it stop! Huh? Okay.
So even if we got past Fang, our mechas are locked away and we're surrounded by sharks and pirates.
Yeah, and worst of all, while we're down here, Pronto's up there partying! Eli: This isn't Pronto's fault.
It's mine.
I got us into this by attacking that refinery without a plan.
Voice on speaker: You are harboring persons wanted by Dr.
Blakk! Turn them over and you will not be harmed! Sounds like an opportunity to make an exit! Wait! Maybe we should come up with a plan first? Malvolio: Fire cannons! How's this plan? Hang on! [ laser fire .]
[ all groaning .]
[ grunts .]
It's locked, we're trapped! Burpy! You guys all right? Burpy? It's one of Blakk's ships! [ laser fire .]
The only way we're getting out of here is if they blast us out! Huh? Well, guess we can go now.
[ laser fire .]
[ roaring .]
[ screams .]
Mr.
Pirate! Get me down! Why? You're drawing their fire perfectly up there! [ shrieks .]
But I'm your cabin mole! Yeah, and you're doing what cabin moles are good for.
Providing a distraction! [ shrieks .]
[ screaming .]
[ scoffs .]
Your boss couldn't put Big Daddy Drake out of business with that train of his, what makes you think you could start now? You losers better learn, what's mine, stays mine! That's not exactly true, sir.
The prisoners are escaping! And they've got our treasure! Well, except for the toe nails.
They pirated me? You don't pirate a pirate! That's a double pirate! Blast 'em! We have to reload before we can fire.
Then do it! Now! [ engine attempting to start .]
Got to get these running or we're not going anywhere.
We'll cover you! [ whimpers .]
What do you say? Think he's suffered enough? Yeah.
[ screaming .]
[ groans .]
[ screaming .]
[ grunts .]
Cabin mole Pronto reporting for duty! [ groans .]
[ engine attempting to start .]
[ grunts .]
- Cannons reloaded, sir! - Mr.
Watts, you know how I always say, "It's a waste to sink a ship "when you can capture the crew"? - Yes, sir.
- Feel free to waste this one.
None of them are getting out of this alive.
[ engine attempting to start .]
Ready, aim and fire! All: Whoa! [ giggles .]
[ engine whirring .]
Hey! We got power! Then let's go! Blast 'em into pulp! [ pirates screaming .]
Yeah! [ laughs .]
Haven't seen a battle plan this poor since Pirate School.
Bring us three degrees starboard and we've got him! [ grunts .]
He's gonna slug us to pieces! All right, we're outgunned, outmanned and facing a ship twice our size.
But don't worry, this time, I've got a plan! We lose them in that fog bank ahead.
Hang on everyone! He's headed for the breakers.
Malvolio: He'll never make it through.
This fool's even more clueless than I thought.
Put us around the other side, and we'll clean up after.
I should have tried this planning thing years ago! Rocks! [ shrieks .]
[ yells .]
Eli? [ grunts .]
All: Whoa! [ relieved sighs .]
[ shrieks .]
Oh man.
What? Oh, dear.
That is not how you captain a ship! Seems to work for him.
[ yells .]
[ grunts .]
Uh, how's it going? Well, let's see.
You stole my treasure, broke my ship.
But here's where I out-pirate you.
[ grunts .]
Sir, she's going down! If we want to live to play the "pirate game" another day If my ship goes down, I go with it.
And so does he! Well, Captain's off the deep end, boys! Unless you fancy being shark food, we've got to take that other boat! [ charging cries .]
[ fighting grunts .]
[ laughs .]
[ grunts .]
[ shrieks .]
[ groans .]
[ laughs .]
[ sighs .]
Huh? [ growls .]
All right Mimkey, this one's all yours.
- How did you - That's what a Mimkey does, princess.
Perfectly mimics anything a slug can do.
[ gasps .]
[ fighting grunts .]
[ laughs .]
Huh? [ grunts .]
[ whooping .]
Look! There's our rides! Relying on a powerful slug like that Infernus is normally an excellent battle plan.
But not when you're up against my Mimkey! Yeah, well, I'm kind of new at this whole planning thing.
Let's go! Huh? [ yells .]
Get me out of here! Oh! Did you honestly think I'd use Burpy again? Huh.
I guess I'm getting better at this planning thing after all.
Kord: Hey! Eli.
So? What do you think of Drake's new boat? [ laughs .]
Cute.
Your despicable behavior brings shame to the tradition of cabin moling! So, I quit! Remember, counterclockwise.
Nothing personal, princess.
No! Me slugs! Come back with me treasure! You can't pirate a pirate! No! You know Eli, with all of Drake's captured slugs, you could have yourself one heck of an arsenal.
You're right.
[ chittering .]
I could.
But that's not how I play the pirate game.
- So, how do you wanna get back home? - I guess we could take the Flumes now that those pirates are out of business.
Oh, no.
No way.
I've had enough water to last me five years worth of showers.
You really want to smell what happens when I don't shower for 10? - Let's take the road.
- Yeah, road.
The road sounds good.
Now you have second thoughts? [ laser fire .]
Nope.
Just said it wasn't smart.
But I mean c'mon, those fireworks were awesome! [ screeching .]
[ shrieks .]
[ sighs in relief .]
