Tangled: The Series (2017) s03e01 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 Previously on Tangled RAPUNZEL: It's like the rocks want us to follow them.
Trust me, Raps, the real world isn't all fun and games.
RAPUNZEL: Where is it taking us? To fulfill your destiny.
LORD DEMANITUS: My pupils betrayed me and summoned my old nemesis, Zhan Tiri.
I knew the research I had written about the Sundrop and MoonStone was valuable.
Dangerous in evil hands.
So I tore the scroll and hid the pieces.
(magic shimmering) "Wither and decay "End this destiny "Break these earthly chains and set the spirit free.
" RAPUNZEL: What is this place? It's called The House of Yesterday's Tomorrow.
(owl hoots) Rapunzel, is that you? - (owl hoots) - RAPUNZEL: Cass! Are you all right? Where were you? I'm fine, Rapunzel.
DEMANITUS: At the end of Rapunzel's journey, one of her party shall turn against her.
You have to be careful who you trust.
(owl hooting) ETHEREAL VOICE: Cassandra Cassandra.
Cassandra.
There you are, Cassandra.
I'd nearly given up on you.
Who are you? A friend.
Or, at least, I'd like to be.
Come.
Wherever you're taking me better have a blond princess.
(hooting) - (water rushing) - (birds singing) This place, it feels familiar.
Wha? (music box playing) Do you recognize that child? - Wind, please.
- MOTHER GOTHEL: Not now, darling.
Mommy's in a hurry.
That's my ENCHANTED GIRL: Mother.
Yes, it is.
YOUNG CASS: Are you going to see the castle? Can I come? Absolutely not, Cassandra.
You know your place is here.
Oh, stop with the pouting.
It's very unbecoming.
Now, Mother needs to rush off for just a teensy-tiny moment, but I won't be gone long.
And this cottage isn't gonna clean itself, you know.
(laughing) Mama? (groans) Must I do everything? (music box winding) Thank you, Mama.
Yes, dear.
(music box playing) Guess by now I ought to know my place Do your humble duty with a smile on your face Mother knows how much I love her But she's always doing other things So I'll keep waiting in the wings I craved so much And yet I kept on waiting One glance, one touch And I just kept on waiting BOTH: And when it came It came with strings So I kept waiting In the wings - (dramatic music playing) - (horse whinnies) (infant crying) Hush, child! GUARD: The princess! (infant crying) GUARD: The princess! (hooves beating) She went this way.
- Check the house! - Go around back.
This way.
Where is she? Where is the princess? (infant crying) Mama? (horse whinnies) Mama.
No one's going to harm you, little one.
You're safe with me.
(crying) I I want my mama! I'm sorry that happened to you, Cassandra.
Sometimes the most painful truths are the most difficult to remember.
You've always felt out-shined by Rapunzel, haven't you? And you always will, unless Unless? You saw all of this in The House of Yesterday's Tomorrows? I saw everything, Rapunzel.
Cass, if what you're saying is true, - it means - It means that I'm Gothel's daughter, and your destiny belongs to me.
Cass, we are friends.
In fact, being Gothel's daughter, that, that makes us closer than friends.
It makes us sisters.
(chuckles) Sisters? My own mother chose you over me.
My whole life, I've been cast aside for you.
No more.
So, what did we miss? - Lance, not now.
- Oooh.
Cassandra, please.
- Let me help you.
- Stay back.
Cassandra, you've got to give me the MoonStone.
It is too dangerous.
- The whole world is at - I said stay back! (Rapunzel screams) EUGENE: Rapunzel! - Cassandra! - (angry squeaking) (electricity whirling) (Adira grunting) Release the MoonStone, Short Hair.
You don't know what you're dealing with.
Neither do you! Adira! Breathe easy.
Your Lance is here.
(whooshing) (metal rattling) Oh no, you don't! Eugene, no! Ugh! (grunts) Cassandra, wait! Cass! This has to stop now Whatever it is that you're going through We'll fix it together, me and you Just like we've always done No! This has to stop now This thing where you think that you've been my friend And don't even hear how you condescend The way you've always done - Cassandra, listen - I'm listening - You know it isn't true - Isn't it? - Just look into my eyes now - Well? - I know you feel it, too - Perhaps I do - Cassandra, listen - I'm listening I swear it's not too late So before another line gets crossed And everything we've had is lost Just wait Wait? - No, I won't wait - Cass! (stones rumbling) There's a line between the winners and the losers There's a line between the chosen and the rest And I've done the best I could But I've always known just where we stood Me here with the luckless You there with the blessed And that line between the beggars and the choosers Is the line you never let me quite ignore How I've tried to jump that great divide But I never got the chances you were given You don't know how much I've been denied Well, I'm not being patient anymore I'm crossing the line And I'm done holding back So look out, clear the track, it's my turn I'm taking what's mine Every drop, every smidge If I'm burning a bridge Let it burn But I'm crossing the line As for us, if we're over that's fine Cassandra, wait! I'm crossing the line - (electricity whirling) - (stones crumbling) - (wind blowing) - (Rapunzel sighs) - (Max growling) - Gentle hooves, Max.
Gentle hooves.
Don't mind him, Max.
You're doing a great job.
- (Max whinnies) - All right.
Up and at 'em, everybody! The MoonStone's gone, so no use sticking around this dreary place.
Uh, shouldn't she be a little, I don't know, upset right now? Hey, Sunshine! I couldn't help but notice you're kind of doing that - thing.
- That thing? You know, the thing where you act like everything's peachy when clearly it's (clears throat) - Sweetheart, what Cass did - Yeah, that was bad! Anyway, moving on.
Uh, what? Okay, gang, we need to get out of here.
Any ideas? Well, we could just fly off in that balloon.
A balloon is a great idea! (chuckling) If we had What? A balloon! (balloon thuds) Careful.
- Ulf? - LANCE: That guy! - The mime? - (Rapunzel laughs) I didn't know that you ballooned! How did you find us? What are you doing here? Did someone send you? Why did they send you specifically? - (Max grunts) - Yeah! Answer that one.
Gentlemen, I believe I can be of some incontinence, as I am fluent in "Ulf.
" (clears throat) There's trouble in Corona.
Invaders from a foreign land.
The people of Corona are scared, so Ulf followed the rocks here.
Now he's just standing still.
Guys, there's trouble in Corona.
We need to get back as soon as possible.
(flame whooshes) All right, chop chop.
All aboard.
This balloon isn't getting any hotter, people.
You sure you can't come with us? My path has changed, and my destiny leads elsewhere.
Not with you.
I know it hurts, but I want you to know that no matter how far away I am out there, I am never far away in there.
Oh! Forgot you don't like to be touched.
My son, I have dedicated my entire life - to protecting - So, you're staying or you're going? I must think of a way to soften this blow.
You're staying, I got it.
I'll see you later.
RAPUNZEL: Okay, is that everybody? Oh, I certainly hope so, because it's tight.
Everyone ready? Then (Pascal squeaks) Corona, here we come! LANCE: This is great! RAPUNZEL: Hey, uh, guys? (chuckles) Uh, Corona's the other way.
- SHORTY: Right.
- EUGENE: Of course! I knew that.
I was just saying, "What a view! before we turn around and go the other way (owl hoots) (cawing) (Max neighs) (squeaking) (all cheering) EUGENE: Finally! No offense to any of you people, but we have been together for way too long, and I need a break from your faces.
Except for you, of course, Rapunzel.
(sighing) I can't believe how much I missed home! Home! Oh! How I've missed everything so much! I missed the bookstore.
(squeals) And I missed the fountain.
Oh, I missed the sweet shop and bakery.
Yum! You know what I missed about Corona? The people.
In fact, I'm still missing the people.
(wind blowing) (inquisitive grunting) Yeah, that's weird.
Hello! Hello? ("Hello" echoing) It's kind of spooky.
Hello? People? - People! - Is anybody here? (clattering) Oh! Oh dear, oh dear! Woe is me, I'll never meet my quota.
Feldspar! Princess! Oh, thank goodness you're back! Where is everyone? Oh, it's awful! It's just awful! Everyone in Corona has been forced to quarry, mining these pesky, green minerals.
Oh! Oh! I gotta get this in by nightfall! Did you know about this? - Shorty.
- What? I thought his story dragged, so I took the artistic license to make some judicious cuts.
I stand by that choice.
(grunts) I don't believe it.
I'm going to the castle to speak with my father.
Well, I'm not sure what good that will do.
Your father is the one who gave the order.
What? (Max snorts) Mom! Dad! - Oh, you guys! - Oh.
I have missed you so much! Uh, Frederic? - Dad! - Young lady, please.
Young lady? Dad, what's going on? Ooh, this is awkward.
RAPUNZEL: That medallion, it's ANDREW: Saporian.
Hey, Raps, nice to see you again.
I'm gonna be completely honest.
Like I remember you, but I don't remember you.
- Does that make sense? - It's me, Andrew.
I nearly single-handedly felled Corona? - (Shorty snoring) - (Max grunts) I took you for a ride in a hot air balloon? Oh, less-attractive-than-me guy with the man-bun.
Yes, I remember you now.
I've taken over Corona.
Or as we now refer to it, New Saporia.
ALL: Long live New Saporia! I'm sorry, but you, man-bun guy, and your flower children took over Corona? (chuckling) Well, this is only gonna take a minute.
- (smoke hissing) - Eugene! EUGENE: What the goop? ANDREW (chuckling): Oh, we didn't do this alone.
You might recognize my former cell mate.
Welcome home, Rapunzel.
Oh, I see you've already met my new friends.
Ah, Varian, my most trusted adviser.
Varian? Mom! Dad! Uh, don't you remember what he's done? (laughing) No, no.
They don't.
They don't remember? (wand whirling) (gasps) That's a Saporian Wand of Oblivium! You have erased their memories! Me? (chuckles) No, not really.
Actually, as you know, I'm all about the science, but, uh, Clementine here, she added a bit of, uh, texture.
Magic.
Yes, today, the King and Queen.
Tomorrow, Corona.
I'm synthesizing the wand's power into a gas that will erase the memories of everyone in Corona.
And I named it Quirineon, so no one will ever forget they turned their back on my father.
But once the people are affected by this gas, they will forget that they turned their back on your father.
Yep, that's some flawed logic right there.
No! Y So? You know what I mean! I can't let you get away with this.
Hey, guys let's send these Saporians back where they came from.
(Pascal chitters) (chuckles) I thought you might say that.
Saporians! (yelling) (smoke hissing) (yelps) They got the alchemy! (neighing) Thank you.
(yelping) (grunts) I have to admit, I'm relieved that I have to fight you and not Cassie.
Where is my old flame, anyway? Sensitive subject.
Oh, I've got more tricks up my sleeves.
Bring it.
(smoke hissing) (grunting) Ah! Pascal, get off me! Hey, get back here with that! Pascal! (whinnies) - Huh? - (Max neighs) (Varian yelping) So, you wanna play rough, huh? (angelic music playing) So much volume! Look at that sheen! (neighing) (grunting) (fizzling) Good job, Pascal! - (Max whinnies) - Varian! Tell them to stand down! Never! Why would we when we have the upper hand? (walls crashing, crumbling) Powerful stuff, kid.
This is gonna be fun.
Come on.
(coughing) Pascal! Are you all right, buddy? (squeaking) Is everybody okay? - Give me a minute.
- There's a horse on me.
(Max grunts) CLEMENTINE: I've got the rope! Ah! Cork fiber? Clementine, you know cork cording chafes my hands.
- Let's get out of here.
- What? We can't just leave! We've gotta stay and fight! How do you think those Saporians would like a face full of frying pan ness.
Blondie, trust me.
Sometimes it's better to live to fight another day.
Guys, come on.
They're getting away! Quick! Over there! We cannot allow the princess and her dad to interfere with New Saporia's takeover of Corona.
CLEMENTINE: Ooh, do you see something? Yes.
Look at these shoes of equine oppression.
(groans) Barbaric Coronans! (squeaking) Princess.
Xavier! The Captain of the Guards sent out many search parties to find you.
He has yet to return.
But in the meantime Princess! You're back! - (Pascal squeaks) - (Rapunzel laughs) It is so, so good to see all of you! Even you, Monty.
Hmm? We stay hidden.
Everyone in Corona now lives in fear, spending their days mining Varian's minerals.
What? The people of Corona are so brave.
Why wouldn't they stand up? We cannot defy the orders from the King and Queen.
Any act of aggression against them is treason.
But now that you have returned, the game has changed.
- How's it coming, friend? - Yeah! If my calculations are correct, when the Quirineon is heated, it will convert to a gaseous state and be easily dispersed throughout the entire city, wiping the memories of everyone in Corona.
(glass cracking) Evidently, my calculations were not correct.
Ugh.
No, if it won't erase people's memories, the boy's chemical may have other uses.
(laughing) (metal crashing) (steel clanking) (squeaking) Hey, Blondie.
How you holding up? Me? Fine.
(steam hissing) What do you think? It's not bad, right? You've been through a lot since we got back.
Not to mention what happened with Cassandra.
(chuckling) What? Oh, I mean, to tell you the truth, I haven't even thought about that person.
Rapunzel, you can't even say her name.
There's a difference between setting feelings aside and burying them so deep, they change who you are.
(Pascal chirps) What are you saying, Eugene? What I'm saying is that you're not alone in this.
I know.
(scoffs) But maybe it would be better if I were.
- What was that? - (Xavier clears throat) Am I interrupting? No! (chuckles) I'm just making a new pan.
Princess, we need to discuss our strategy.
I'll be there in a second.
(squeaks) Right after I take back my kingdom.
- (squeaking) - (gasps) Pascal! What are you doing here? (squeaking) What? No! Of course I trust you.
I just thought of this as a solo mission.
- (chirps) - Oh, all right.
I can never fool you.
(happy squeaking) Check this out.
How could she have run off - on her own like that? - (Max snorting) If I know one thing about Rapunzel, it's that she is tough.
But she's only one person, right? How is she supposed to take on all those Saporians by herself? And Varian.
You are not helping! I'm going after her.
Anybody else? Count me in.
EUGENE: Anyone else? (Pascal squeaking) Shhh.
KAI: Well, lately I've been into essential oils.
- You know, peppermint or eucalyptus or - (squeaking) Huh? What was that? MAISIE: It wasn't anything.
Come on.
(groans) If you ask me, you should lay off the essential oils.
They're making you hear things.
JUNIPER: Kai, is that you? (chirps) CASSANDRA: When your dad is Captain of the Guards, you tend to collect stuff.
(gasping) - (crying) - (Pascal squeaking) I thought she would always be here.
- (squeaking) - KAI: Well, well, well.
Look who we found.
Varian.
How could you do this? I want you to know, I wish it didn't come to this.
But when someone trusts you and you betray them, well, this is what happens.
My kingdom needed me.
I couldn't do anything about the amber, and I had to stay.
I never meant to break my promise to you, Varian.
We were friends.
That's the beauty of my plan.
In the end, when your memory has been erased, we can be friends again.
But you're only making it worse.
None of these people did anything to you.
It's not what they did to me.
It's what I did to them.
And there there is no way that they will ever forgive me.
How do you know if you don't give them the chance? I took their queen prisoner, I threatened their princess, I helped these guys take over their kingdom.
You think anyone's gonna give me a second chance? I don't think so.
No, making them forget is the only way to fix what I've done.
Yeah, there's been a slight change of plans, buddy.
Now that she's back, we don't have time for you to get your memory formula right.
We are still using the formula you've curated.
Quirineon explodes.
It will turn Corona to ashes.
But, no.
No! We agreed nobody would be harmed! Relax, Varian.
You don't want to end up on the wrong side of history.
You understand, buddy.
You're right.
So I'm gonna have to ask you to step inside that cell.
CLEMENTINE: Are you betraying us, boy? I'm getting on the right side of history.
CLEMENTINE: Take him out! - (magic bubbling) - (Varian gasps) VARIAN: Ohhhhh.
Sorry guys, that was a Yeah, that was a bath bomb.
(door clangs) He's made his choice.
Let's move.
We launch the airship in 20.
(Rapunzel grunting) All I ever wanted was for my father to be proud.
Of course, if he were free from the amber now and saw everything I've done, well, he'd be ashamed.
- (Pascal squeaks) - RAPUNZEL: You know standing up to Andrew just now was pretty brave.
(sighing) Look I know how much it hurts to have someone you trust let you down.
I mean, after you go through something like that, how can you ever trust anyone again? I don't know.
That that's why I thought maybe if I can make you forget everything that happened, you know, we could be friends again.
Learn to trust again.
But I guess life doesn't really work that way.
Okay, this is very sweet, but, honestly, I'm offended.
I can't believe you were going to break into something, and you didn't even ask me.
It's kind of my thing.
Thank goodness you're here! And where do you think you're going, little man? (Max snorts) Ah! Huh? Aw.
- (Max whinnies) - Guys, we're going to have to trust him.
After everything Hair Stripe here has done, you're going to trust him? - (Pascal squeaking) - RAPUNZEL: Yes.
He's the one that made the formula that the Saporians are about to drop on Corona.
We need him.
(Max snorting) VARIAN: There's enough Quirineon on that ship to destroy Corona ten times over.
Is there anything you can do? If you can get me on that ship, I think I can neutralize it.
After you, madam.
Take them to the outskirts of Corona to watch their kingdom fall.
Once it's done, get rid of them.
- Now fly, mighty steed! - (horse neighs) Eugene, I need you guys to free my parents.
You heard her, boys.
Let's go.
(Max snorts) For Saporia! We have got to get on that ship.
With this first barrel, we plant the seeds of a new Saporia.
Let's just take a second to make sure that we are truly present in this moment.
(all breathing deeply) (Andrew grunts) All right.
Any second now.
What is going on? - RAPUNZEL: Drop something? - You! Varian, get your alchemy belt and neutralize the Quroneo Uh, Quirineon, Rapunzel.
Say it with me, "Quirin" Oof.
(both grunting) Ahhh! (thugs yelping) This is the last time you (smoke hissing) (crumbling) - What? - Ha! Not bad for an alchemist, eh? (laughing) (grunts) Oh! My fault.
Oh, that one's on me.
(yelping) Get Eee! Stand down, alchemist! - (chirps) - ANDREW: I'll take care of him.
(Varian yelping) ANDREW: Traitors to Saporia pay with their lives.
(chirps) ANDREW: Whoa-oh! (yelling) Pascal, come here! (ricocheting) (chirps, squeaks) (grunting) - (squeaking) - (bubble pops) Well, that wasn't so hard.
ANDREW: Oh, we're not done yet.
Time for Corona to go boom! Do you enjoy tea? I don't remember.
(hooves galloping) (grunts) - It's locked.
- This side, too.
VARIAN: That single burner cannot generate enough heat to keep this ship in the air.
If it crashes, it will destroy all of Corona.
What if we use the Quirineon? Yes! Yes! Heating the Quirineon will increase the temperature enough for the balloons to rise.
We just have to get it high enough so that when it explodes, it doesn't destroy the city.
You need to get off the ship.
Rapunzel, I've gotta clean up my own mess.
No! You do not have a shield of magic hair that will protect you when this thing explodes.
What are you doing? It's your mess, but it's my kingdom.
(yelling) No! Rapunzel! All right, Pascal, let's get this over-sized balloon as high as it will go.
What is taking you so long? That's an easy lock! Oh, I don't know, maybe it's because I'm on a moving carriage! Oh, come on! New plan.
We're gonna need the keys.
Hey, Chuckles! (horse grunts) Hand over that key or else! Or else what? (grunts) (horse neighs) (yelling) Where is the key? (distant): I have it! EUGENE: Could this get any worse? (laughing) Usually, when you ask if things can get worse like that, they actually do.
(laughing) Uh EUGENE: There's that irony.
(whinnying) (both neighing) (all grunting, yelping) (grunts) Now fly! Run to the wilderness! Ah! (horses snorting) (grunting) No, no, no, no, no! (yelling) (splash) - (Fidella grunts) - (carriage door opens) Are we stopping for lunch? (liquid bubbling) Oh, wow! This stuff is really heating up! Just a little more altitude.
(Pascal squeals) Come on, Blondie, get out of there.
Oh, no, you don't! That's it.
Okay.
We are high enough.
That's it, Blondie.
Now, come on.
- Rapunzel! - (Max gasps) No! Just wait, Lance.
Just wait.
She'll be okay.
- (dramatic music plays) - See? (panting) I knew you'd make it.
(sighs) - It's all over.
- Not yet.
There's still one promise I need to keep.
Once I start this incantation, I won't be able to stop it.
And it could seriously harm you and your father, so I'm trusting you to snap me out of it once your father is free.
You can trust me, Rapunzel.
"Wither and decay "End this destiny "Break these earthly chains And set the spirit free.
" (sizzling) (gasps) It's working.
Wither and decay It's working! End this destiny Ha! Dad! Break these earthly chains - And set the spirit free - Wake up! Ahh! - Rapunzel, snap out of it! - The spirit free Rapunzel.
Rapunzel? You didn't give up on me.
I'm not giving up on you.
(gasps) Are you okay? Thank you.
Dad! Dad! (laughing) You're alive! - Oh, son.
- Dad, the note.
What what did it say? I need to know.
All it said was, "I'm so proud of you, Varian.
" I always have been.
I love you, Dad.
I love you, too, son.
We've done a lot Faced who-knows-what Still, though, we're not quite through yet We have so much to do yet More than a thing or two yet There's wounds we must heal Plans to make real - Watch us and we'll do wonders - (Max neighs) Sure, we might make some blunders We'll face them all head on We'll rise hand-in-hand and rebuild this land We're ready to stand and roar Will we give up? No, never We're stronger than ever before - (Lance laughing) - - We've made mistakes - Had some bad breaks BOTH: That only makes us tougher LANCE: Now, when the road gets rougher EUGENE: Frankly, we'll barely suffer 'Cause though we've been burned What have we learned? EUGENE/LANCE: Victory is earned, not given We shape the world we live in EUGENE/LANCE: We're what we'll build upon ALL: The war may be won, but still we're not done We've only begun to soar - RAPUNZEL: Bolder - EUGENE: And far more clever ALL: And stronger than ever before There's miles yet to go How far we don't know But we can do so much more RAPUNZEL: On to the next endeavor ALL: We're stronger than ever We'll never say never We're stronger ALL: than ever before - (door opens) - EUGENE: The number one reason I'm glad to be back in Corona, you ask? Why, the cupcakes.
I'm glad you were able to keep your promise to Varian.
You know, it feels good to trust that little guy again, right? It does.
(chuckles) And Eugene I think I'm ready to talk about Cass.
Well, then, I am all ears, Sunshine.
At first, I felt so betrayed.
After all, Cass is my best friend Oh-oh, oh-oh Now I got my eyes open and wide My heart burnin' like fire Feels like I'm so alive I'm never going 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, there's more of me to give
