Princess Rapunzel(sighs) I don't know, Pascal, I don't even know what to do anymore. (Pascal squeaks) Yeah, I know. There's always a way. I just have to find it. (ominous music) (distant thud) Did you hear something? Ahh! (Ruddiger chittering) Oh! Ruddiger! (glad to see Varian's pet) Where did you come from? (Varian thuds when he jumps on the boat) (Pascal squeaking)
Shh. (sees if anyone followed him to the dock)
Princess Rapunzel
Oh, Varian! Where have you been? (hugs him) I, I've been so worried about you.
Yeah, uh, I had to lie low. (Ruddiger jumps to Varian's hands) A funny thing. The people of Corona aren't too keen on guys who attack their princess. (chuckles)
Princess Rapunzel
Attack me? You, you mean during the storm? You came for help.
And you got to see why I needed your help. (tense music)
Princess Rapunzel
(gasps) Varian, I am so sorry. I had no id--
You had to save the kingdom, you did what you had to, but you can help me now, Rapunzel. Do you have the scroll?
Princess Rapunzel
The scroll! I, I got it, like you asked. I have no idea, what it is, but my dad was desperate to keep it from me. (Varian sighs)
Now, it took me a while to translate this old language, but from what I can tell, those black rocks are actually some kind of-- of ancient darkness. Its destructive power can only be stopped by its counterpart... the sun-drop. Rapunzel! The... the flower!
Princess Rapunzel
You mean the flower? The one that healed my mom, and gave me my hair? But... my dad said it was long gone.
Hmm. Would you say your dad has been a really reliable source of information?
Princess Rapunzel
Well, um...
No, Rapunzel! No, it's still here. I'm sure of it. Your dad wouldn't throw something away that could wield that kind of power. A single petal from that could solve all our problems. That's all we need!
Princess Rapunzel
Yeah, but even if the flower is here, I don't think we can just ask my dad to hand it over.
Oh, I know we can't, which is why we have to steal it. (tense music)
(grunts) Princess, what are we doing here? The flower would most likely be in the royal vault, and that is on the other side--
Rapunzel
Other side of the castle, I know. But if we want to get past the vault security, our best bet is to use the underground tunnels, and Herz Der Soone's journal has a complete map of them. (opens the door and enters the Journal Room) (suspenseful music) (sighs) (regretting about taking the journal from the room) (closes the journal and carries it) (Pascal squeaks) (Rapunzel stops to see a portrait of her dad) (sighs) What am I doing? (Varian enters the room)
You got what we came for. Come on, let's go!
Rapunzel
Taking the journal, stealing the flower... Varian, these are all acts of treason.
This may be my dad's only hope. This... may be Corona's only hope. Rapunzel, Corona needs our help.
Rapunzel
(sighs) (Pascal squeaks) For Corona. Come on. (about to leave the Journal with Varian and Pascal) (Rapunzel and Varian run from the room to the hall but they stop running when Rapunzel sees Eugene walking by)
Blondie, what you doing? (asks Rapunzel while she hides the Journal) (Varian thumps as he tries to move forward but he bumps into Rapunzel)
Rapunzel
Doing? Uh, I wasn't doing anything? (Pascal squeaks)
What do you got there? (tries to see what is behind Rapuzel's back)
Rapunzel
What? (Varian thumps and grunts when Rapunzel gives him the Journal from behind) (nervous chuckle) Nothing! (Pascal squeaks)
Right... Okay. I know you want to be alone, but Cass and I, we-- (Pascal squeaks) (Rapunzel nervous chuckle) You okay?
Rapunzel
Mm-hmm!
Rapunzel
(sighs) Eugene, how far would you go to find the truth? (asks Eugene)
Personally... not very far. Frankly, the truth's not all it's cracked up to be. Blondie, you sure you're all right?
Rapunzel
Yeah, sorry. (sighs) I just, I've had a lot to process lately. I promise I'll talk when I'm ready, okay?
Okay. (puts his hand on Rapunzel's face) Just let me know if you need anything.(walks away) (Rapunzel gives Varian the signal to run) Uh, Blondie? (turns around to see if Rapunzel is still there but notices that she left with Varian) Hmm...
I found the entrance! Down here! (removes the lid) (jumps down and put his hands up to catch Rapunzel) (Varian and Rapunzel grunting) (Rapunzel opens the Journal) (Ruddiger chittering then thuds)
Rapunzel
We have to go this way. (Ruddiger chittering) (Rapunzel, Varian and Ruddiger walk to a wrong path then they walk to another wrong path) Um... that way? (points another path then she, Varian and Ruddiger go to the correct path)
Wow... Oh, oh! These tunnels despict an ancient technology of pre-Corona-era-- (screams) (Pascal whimpering) Uh... yeah, this way. (walks to the left direction)
Rapunzel
We've gotta be careful. Herz Der Sonne's tunnels may have been long forgotten, but that doesn't mean they're not dangerous. They are lined with deadly booby traps.
(scoffs) As you can recall, I know a thing a two about booby traps. (walks to the booby trap then steps on it)
Rapunzel
Varian, watch out!
Huh? (twangs) Oh! Whoa! Well, that's one down. (Pascal grumbles) (walks to another tunnel with Rapunzel that has booby traps) (thudding)
Rapunzel
Uh-oh! (Pascal squeaks) (Rapunzel is trapped inside the tunnel with Varian, Ruddiger and Pascal then the walls move towards them) Huh... (rumbling) (Rapunzel screams while she tries to stop one wall from moving towards her, Varian, Ruddiger and Pascal) (Varian drops his alchemy to the ground and he goes to the wall to try to stop the other wall from moving) (Varian and Rapunzel grunting while they try to stop the walls from moving towards them)
We're gonna get squished! (Ruddiger chitters and helps Varian to try to stop the wall from moving) (Pascal squeaks) (Rapunzel gasping) (cranking) (Rapunzel screams) (Pascal shrieks) (the walls are continuing to move toward each other) (Rapunzel picks up a bone that is near her feet) (tense music) (Rapunzel runs to the axle after she takes Varian's alchemy off the ground)
Rapunzel
Pascal, wedge this into the axle to stop it from turning. Hurry! (Pascal throws the bone into the gears) (metal creaking) (Varian and Rapunzel stop pushing the walls) (Pascal squeaks when he notices the axle stopped moving he gives a thumbs up) Oh! Good. Now, go behind the wall to find some sort of release mechanism. (metal creaking) (Pascal is going to the wall) (Pascal notices the bone is crackling and he shrieks) (shatters) (the axle starts moving again then Pascal goes behind the wall) Pascal! (worried about her pet) Aah! (the walls are moving again then Varian, Ruddiger and Rapunzel try to stop the walls from squishing them)
Rapunzel
Pascal, do something! (Ruddiger chittering) Hurry!
Aah! Whoa! Whoa! (tries to stop the other wall from moving with his foot) (grunts) (the walls moving towards Varian, Ruddiger and Rapunzel)(Rapunzel squeals) (metal creaking) (the walls stopped moving then squishes Varian and Rapunzel)
Rapunzel
(Pascal squeaks when he returns to his owner) Pascal, you did it!
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Tripwire. (tells Rapunzel) (he and Rapunzel step over the wire) (Pascal sees a spider then walks towards it) (Pascal squelches then Rapunzel warns her pet)
Rapunzel
Pascal, no! (she and Varian see Pascal is going to eat a spider) I need you to carefully let go of that spider. (Pascal squelches forward) (Varian and Rapunzel sigh) (Pascal sighs) (wire snaps) (Ruddiger chitters) (rumbling) (runs to Ruddiger and Pascal) Watch it! (grabs Ruddiger and Pascal before the rocks fall on the two pets) (sighs) Everyone okay? (put Ruddiger on the ground) We're getting closer to the surface. We don't want to alarm the guards. (tells Varian)
Oh, I'm pretty sure they and everyone else have their hands full. (Varian snickers)
Rapunzel
Huh? What do you mean? (confused then asks Varian) (Pascal squeaks)
N... nothing. (turns around) Uh, it's just, um, they... have their hands full every day! (laughs) Corona, you know? (turns towards Rapunzel) (puts his hand the wall) Busiest kingdom on earth! (rumbles) Whoa! Whoa! Oh! (about to fall into a trap)
Rapunzel
Varian! Hang on!
Way ahead of you! (Rapunzel straining when she pulls Varian up) (rumbling) (he and Rapunzel see the ground to the other side is collapsing) What do we do? (asks Rapunzel)
Rapunzel
I'm gonna go with... run!
Rapunzel
Come on, guys! This way! (tells Varian and Ruddiger to go closer to her then Varian and Rapunzel put their arms on each other) (Varian and Rapunzel hold on to each other and Ruddger is holding on to Rapunzel's hair) Whoa! (sees a door then she swings herself, Varian and Ruddiger to the other side) (Rapunzel and Varian grunting) (Rapunzel, Varian and Ruddiger jumped off each other when they made it to the other side) (Rapunzel panting as she ties her hair while she, Varian and Ruddiger are walking to the vault) That was too close. You are sure this flower is worth it, right? (asks Varian) It's Corona's only hope?
It should be, but, uh, I'm not really concerned about Corona. (Rapunzel stops when Varian says that he doesn't care about the kingdom)
Rapunzel
(gasps while she is suspicious of Varian's true agenda) You don't care about Corona? (Varian changes the subject by saying he cares about the kingdom)
Uh, oh, I mean, of course, I'm concerned about about Corona. I love Corona. I just meant, right now... I'm really concerned about how it's gonna help my dad. (Pascal is also suspicious of Varian's true agenda) (Pascal grumbles) Corona, too! (walks backwards) (Rapunzel and Pascal look at each other after they noticed Varian's true agenda)
Rapunzel
No. This is it. We are right under the vault. (tells Varian that the vault is above and points to it) Do you see that trap-door? (asks Varian)
Yeah, how do we get it open? (asks Rapunzel)
Rapunzel
Hmm... (sees the pillars and counts them) One, two, three, four... five, six, seven... Seven pillars. (figured out how to open the trap-door) Huh. (mechanical whirring) (air hissing) (an automaton is awaken when it comes out of the wall to attack) (Varian and Rapunzel are happy to see that the trap-door is opened then they hear the automaton thumping behind them but they turn around and see it) (the automaton starts to walk towards Varian and Rapunzel) Uh, Varian? (backs away from the automaton while Varian is amazed at the automaton)
Fascinating! I believe this is an automaton. (turns around and tells Rapunzel) A marvel of ancient technology, really. But to see one-- in person (an automaton starts to attack him)
Rapunzel
Varian! Look out! (warns and takes him out of the way) (automaton thuds) (Rapunzel and Varian are hiding at the pillars from the automaton then Varian protects Rapunzel by attacking it with his alchemy)
Don't worry, princess, I've got this. (protects Rapunzel by attacking the automaton with his alchemy when he runs towards it) (grunts) (his alchemy explodes) (grunts) (throws two more of his alchemies at the automaton then it slams into the pillar then it is rumbling and Rapunzel notices it) See? I told ya! I got this...
Rapunzel
Uh, Varian? (notices that the automaton isn't defeated then Varian sees it before it knocks him to a pillar)
(screams) (thuds) (falls on the ground and Rapunzel runs to him) (groans) Despite the excruciating pain and the fact I am about to pass out, the science at work here is spellbinding! (amazed of the automaton while Rapunzel helps him up) (automaton thumping when it continues to attack)
Rapunzel
We're gonna need some kind of a plan if we're gonna defeat that thing. (runs to another pillar) Uh... hey, you! Um, metal-head!
Automaton! (corrects Rapunzel)
Rapunzel
Come and get it! (automaton attacks Rapunzel but she dodges) Distract him and draw him towards you! (tells Varian) (Rapunzel unties her hair whiile Varian throws his alchemy at the automaton) (the alchemy explodes) (tense music) (Varian runs away from the automaton then Rapunzel ties her hair to a pillar while holding her hair to trip the automaton) (pillar crackling) (two pillars rumbles on the automaton and it is defeated) (automaton is powering down) (Rapunzel and Varian are climbing on the pillars)
Rapunzel
Come on, let's go! (her hair whooshes when it cranks to pull the ladder down and Rapunzel climbs up to the royal vault followed by Varian)
Hmm... (sees the timing cylinder on the back of the automaton before climbing the ladder)
Rapunzel
There it is! (walking to the sun-drop to see it) The flower! (tense music) (Varian walks up to steal the flower) (Rapunzel notices that Varian grabs the flower and puts it inside his satchel then starts to walk away) Varian! Wait, wait, wait! You said... (Rapunzel grabs Varian's bag to prevent him from leaving) you were just gonna take one petal. (Varian turns around)
But what if one petal's not enough to harvest what I need?
Rapunzel
Varian.
What difference does it make? It's just sitting here, rotting anyway! (grabs his bag pulls it away from Rapunzel then she sees the flackon that contained Xavier's mood potion) (flackon clatters to the ground and Rapunzel picks it up)
Rapunzel
(gasps) That flackon... (holds the flackon but Varian grabs it from her puts it back inside his bag) That had Xavier's mood potion in it. Varian, that potion is dangerous, You shouldn't be fooling with it!
There was just one drop left, but it was enough for me to replicate and modify. I had to be sure the flower was here. (reveals his true agenda and tells Rapunzel)
Rapunzel
So, you made a truth serum and gave it to everyone? (asks Varian)
(laughs) You'd surprised what people will tell you for a cookie.
Rapunzel
(gasps) Pete? Stan? How could you?
Oh, do you honestly expect me to be concerned about the welfare of Corona?
Rapunzel
But you said you--
Rapunzel... I used you! I begged you and this kingdom for help! Everyone turned their back on me! It has to be this way!
Rapunzel
I defied a direct order from my father, the king, because I trusted you. We both broke the law. (Rapunzel sighs) Give me the flower, Varian. We can find a way to fix all of this- the rocks, your dad, everything. I promise you. I promise. (Varian starts to regret his actions and begins to trust her) Just... this is not the way. Please. (doors rattling) (Varian hears the doors are going to open but he changed his mind about trusting Rapunzel)
Varian (cold and sarcastic) Sorry, Princess, but I know firsthand how well you keep promises. (turns around) (doors rattling) (Eugene, Cassandra and the guards are at the vault) (Eugene points to Varian)
There he is! Get him! (Rapunzel and Pascal are sad of Varian's betrayal) (Varian takes his alchemy from his bag and he throws his alchemy to the ground then he escapes) (explodes) (smoke hisses) (tense music) (Rapunzel coughing) Rapunzel, are you okay? (he runs to her)
Rapunzel
I'm fine. Varian! (she noticed that Varian escaped the castle to avoid being captured by the guards)
Work! Work! Please, work! (Upon learning that the petals of the Sun-Drop flower no longer possess any healing magic) No... No, no, no! (pushes his drill aside due to his anger and frustation) No! (throws his papers to the ground) This is useless! (slams his fist on the desk) It- It's like it no longer holds the Sundrop's power! (Recalls what Rapunzel had told him earlier)
Princess Rapunzel
You mean the flower? The one that healed my mom and gave me my hair? (Varian also recalled what he said at the end of Great Expotations)
The rocks are demonstrating an actual physical response... to you. The Sun-drop isn't... the flower anymore. (sees the flower and picks it up after realizing the power isn't the flower) (holds the flower then crushes it to bits and dusts off an illustration of Rapunzel) (rustles) (thuds) It's Rapunzel.
Princess? (knocking on door) Happy birthday! Hey. How you doing?
Princess Rapunzel
(sarcastic) How am I doing? Okay. Let's see, um... I found out my father's been lying to me for months, a secret squad of guards, hunted us down in the dead of night, oh, I destroyed my childhood home, and most recently, I committed treason by helping an extremely unstable alchemist steal the most powerful object in the seven kingdoms! (pause) But enough about me. Let's talk about you. How are you doing? (sighs) Sorry.
No, no. It's okay. But hey, I know what will cheer you up. (Rapunzel smiles) Present room. (Eugene takes her to a room with presents while he puts his hands on her eyes then the guards open the door and Eugene removes his hands from Rapunzel's eyes) (Pascal squeaks) (Eugene laughs)
Princess Rapunzel
Goodness! These are all for me? (walks inside the throne room to see lots of her presents)
The people love you! Oh, I am good at this! Look, look! (box rattles) It's a set of paintbrushes! (box clinks) Somebody got a new necklace. And this is...(shattering).... clearly something that shouldn't been shaken. (Pascal points to a present) Oh, that one next? (fabric rustling) Come on, socks? She doesn't wear shoes people! (Rapunzel is walking to her other presents)
Princess Rapunzel
"Wind me"? (cranks the music box) Kinda creepy. Oh, hi! Oh! Friedborg. You startled me. Wait, is it time for my fitting? Where's Cassandra?
I haven't seen her all day. See? Things aren't so bad after all. (Rapunzel gives Eugene a stern look)
Princess Rapunzel
No. Come on. We should find her. (tells Eugene that they need to find Cassandra)
Friedborg, keep up the... (clears throat) Keep it up. (follows Rapunzel) (Friedborg walks away while holding Belle's dress) (ominous music)
Princess Rapunzel
Cass? What are you doing? (asks Cassandra)
Haven't you heard? This is my new assignment. (tells Rapunzel) (grunts) (Rapunzel and Eugene enter the stables)
Princess Rapunzel
What are you talking about?
Seems like your dad found out that I was the one that snuck you out of Corona before your coronation. And, well... (groans) here we are.
Princess Rapunzel
That's impossible! How would he even know? The only possible way he could found out is if... he read my journal. (realized that her father read her journal) (Cass turns around) (sighs) Okay. Don't worry, Cass. I am going to get you out of this. (about to leave)
Hey, but in the meantime... at least you have stable employment. (sits on the hay while joking about Cassandra's new job) (laughs) (Cassandra and Rapunzel are mad at him for making that joke) Okay. Not, not great timing, but different room, different circumstances, that would've killed.
Don't waste your time, Raps. This is just temporary. I'm being sent to a convent tomorrow.
PRPrincess Rapunzel
My dad has gone too far. (angry) You shouldn't be punished for something I-- (crashing) (Rapunzel yelps)
Friend of yours? (asks Rapunzel)
PRPrincess Rapunzel
An automaton? Varian and I fought one like-- Varian.
How did it get past the guards?
That's a good question, but I'm guessing it's not here for the party. (shouts)
Eugene, wait, wait, wait! He's incredibly-- (Eugene thuds) (Eugene groans) Strong.
Nope, got it. No need to finish that thought. (thuds) (Eugene grunts) (Cassandra runs towards the automaton to fight it) (sword clanging) (cranking)
PRPrincess Rapunzel
Cass! (Cassandra runs from the automaton) (thuds) (crackling) (Eugene grunts) Pascal, the banner. (Pascal squeaks then climbs up and tosses the banner to Rapunzel) Hey, Tick-Tock! Over here! (automaton thudding) (panting when she runs between the legs of the automaton to tie it a couple times)
No, no! This way! Come get it!
PRPrincess Rapunzel
Cass! (throws the banner to Cassandra) (Cassandra begins to tie the banner to the automaton)
Wait, wait, wait! (runs to the automaton) No, step this way! (the automaton rips the banner) (Cassandra gasps when she sees the timing cylinder) (Rapunzel gasps when the automaton is going towards her to attack) (Cassandra stops the timing cylinder with her sword) (metal grinding) (Rapunzel sees that the automaton stopped attacking her then it is powering down and shuddering and it shuts off) (music timing cylinder grinding) (Cassandra sighs) (Cassandra runs to the front of the automaton to help Rapunzel and Eugene push it out of the castle)
PRPrincess Rapunzel
And push. (she, Eugene and Cassandra straining when they are pushing the automaton outside)
Heads up. (warns the people) (the automaton is falling from the tower to the ground) (whistling) (crashing) (bell ringing)
Congratulations. You win a magical fish. (belches) Oh, that's right. I forgot I ate the magical fish. (Rapunzel, Eugene and Cassandra see the automaton at the bottom) (Pascal squeaking) (Rapunzel grunts)
Our first priority is getting to bottom of who was responsible for this attack. (Rapunzel slams the doors open and the Captain of the Guard, King Frederic and Nigel see Rapunzel)
Princess Rapunzel
There's no question who's behind it. (enters the throne room) The question is... what was Varian after?
That boy is dangerous. And I assure you, he will pay dearly.
Princess Rapunzel
Listen, Dad. He is up to something. And we need to get the bottom--
We needn't do anything. The situation is being handled, Rapunzel.
Princess Rapunzel
You can see I might have a little trouble taking you at your word... Your Majesty.
Rapunzel. I know these past days have been... strained, to say the least, but... more important than any of our disagreements, more important than anything at all, is your safety. So in light of this vicious assault, it is with heavy heart that I make this decision. Until the threat of Varian has been neutralized, you are to remain under constant surveillance in the most secure room in the castle. (door thuds) (Rapunzel gasps) (tense music)
Rapunzel
(sighs) Mom! (glad to see her mom and runs to her then hugs her)
I'm so sorry. I tried to talk him out of it, but you know your father can be... immovable.
Rapunzel
What is Dad so afraid of? Why is he doing this to me?
Rapunzel, in the two decades you were gone, not once did your father sleep through the night. Your absence haunted him every minute of every day.
Rapunzel
Are you saying that makes this right?
I'm asking you to consider that despite how rash and drastic his actions may seem, or how much you disagree with them, they come from a place of love. (bites her lip) (Pascal squeaks) But I agree with you. This isn't right.
