(grunts) Princess, what are we doing here? The flower would most likely be in the royal vault, and that is on the other side--
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!
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.
(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)
EugeneBlondie, what you doing? (asks Rapunzel while she hides the Journal) (Varian thumps as he tries to move forward but he bumps into Rapunzel)
Doing? Uh, I wasn't doing anything? (Pascal squeaks)
Eugene
What do you got there? (tries to see what is behind Rapuzel's back)
What? (Varian thumps and grunts when Rapunzel gives him the Journal from behind) (nervous chuckle) Nothing! (Pascal squeaks)
Eugene
Right... Okay. I know you want to be alone, but Cass and I, we-- (Pascal squeaks) (Rapunzel nervous chuckle) You okay?
Eugene
Rapunzel?
(sighs) Eugene, how far would you go to find the truth? (asks Eugene)
Eugene
Personally... not very far. Frankly, the truth's not all it's cracked up to be. Blondie, you sure you're all right?
Yeah, sorry. (sighs) I just, I've had a lot to process lately. I promise I'll talk when I'm ready, okay?
Eugene
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...
MMan
How dare you point out my obvious flaws with cutting accuracy? I'll box your ears! (mad a guard) (Hazel shoves Eugene to walk away from Faith)
FFaith
You take that back! I don't care how true it is! (mad at Hazel and follows her)
RCRoyal Chef
Let's see you speak your truths with a mouth full of strudel!
This is getting out of hand.
Eugene
Yeah, this reminds me of Xavier's mood potion. Only now, everyone can't help but tell the truth.
MMan
Out of my way, Big Ears.
Eugene
(coughs) Except for that guy. He has no idea what he's talking about.
If this is some kind of truth potion, we have to figure out how it got into the castle. Who was the first person you noticed being a little too honest?
Eugene
Hmm...
Okay, Pete. Let's start at the beginning. Walk us through your day.
Eugene
And relax. Just tell us what happened.
Well, I woke up confused, because my mouth tasted like beans, but I had no recollection of eating beans the day prior. Then I saw my cat, and I said, "Hello, Mr. Happy-Paws! Who's a fluffernutter?" (Eugene takes a chair from behind him and sets it down) Of course, he can't talk. (Eugene and Cassandra sigh)
I got into work, I high-fived Stan, and I noticed his hand was sweaty,(Cassandra growls and grabs Pete) (Pete gasps) Oh, boy! You are scary.
Listen. We've been here for 30 minutes, and all you've been doing is boring us with useless information!
Useless! I gave you my recipe for strawberry scones!
That was the most useless part!
Eugene
Okay, okay, okay. Let's try this. Can you recall anything out of the ordinary? Maybe something not soul-crushingly boring?
Well, I did find the man in the bush who gave me purple cookies a bit peculiar.
(scoffs) You think you might led with that? (Pete picks up a purple cookie that Varian gave him and everyone else at the castle)
Everybody's been eating these things! (about to eat the cookie but Cassandra slaps it out of his hand)
(slaps) Don't1 Someone may have laced them with some kind of truth serum.
Eugene
Listen, Pete. What else can you tell us about the man in the bush?
Well, let's see, his voice was kind of... squeaky? Oh, and... he was asking about the sun-drop flower, which the king has been secretly hiding in the vault ever since he used it on the queen.
Eugene
Whoa, whoa, whoa! W-w-wait! The sun-drop flower!
So... someone with a squeaky voice trying to keep a low profile used a potion to get information about a magical flower. Sound like anyone we know? (asks Eugene)
Eugene
Varian. So, that's why Rapunzel was acting so peculiar. Come on, she might be in trouble! (he and Cassandra are going to the vault to stop Varian)
Out of the way, boys. We need to get into the vault and get that sun-drop flower.
G1Guard 1
Sun-drop flower? Why, whatever do you mean?
G2Guard 2
Oh, I heard the sun-drop flower was... destroyed--
Eugene
We know the secret. Let us in! The princess could be in grave danger!
G1Guard 1
Sorry, strict orders from the king. No one is permitted beyond this point.
Eugene
Let's ask ourselves a question, shall we? Whose wrath would you rather face, the king's, or hers? (points to Cassandra cracking her knuckles) (the guard is scared of Cassandra and gives the key to her and Eugene)
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?
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)
(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)
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.
(gasps) Pete? Stan? How could you?
Oh, do you honestly expect me to be concerned about the welfare of Corona?
Rapunzel... I used you! I begged you and this kingdom for help! Everyone turned their back on me! It has to be this way!
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)
Eugene
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)
I'm fine. Varian! (she noticed that Varian escaped the castle to avoid being captured by the guards)
Eugene
Princess? (knocking on door) Happy birthday! Hey. How you doing?
(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.
Eugene
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)
Goodness! These are all for me? (walks inside the throne room to see lots of her presents)
Eugene
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)
"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?
Eugene
I haven't seen her all day. See? Things aren't so bad after all. (Rapunzel gives Eugene a stern look)
No. Come on. We should find her. (tells Eugene that they need to find Cassandra)
Eugene
Friedborg, keep up the... (clears throat) Keep it up. (follows Rapunzel) (Friedborg walks away while holding Belle's dress) (ominous music)
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)
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.
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)
Eugene
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)
Eugene
Friend of yours? (asks Rapunzel)
PRPrincess Rapunzel
An automaton? Varian and I fought one like-- Varian.
How did it get past the guards?
Eugene
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.
Eugene
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)
Eugene
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)
Eugene
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)
Eugene
How is what you're doing to Rapunzel any different than what was done to her for the first eighteen years of her life? (bites his lip)
Remember yourself, Fitzherbert. You are--
Nigel. Eugene, son, I realize how this situation might appear, but... you must trust that I have no choice.
Eugene What? Of course, you have a choice! You're the king! You cannot keep her up there!
I'll do whatever I must to keep Rapunzel safe from harm. (tense music) (Eugene turns around)
Eugene
(speaks softly) And so will I. (walks away)
Eugene
Uh... quick question. (holds Rapunzel's plan while he and Hook Foot see it before they are going to be launch to the roof) I'm not sure that I see the part of Rapunzel's escape plan that specifically says... I have to be the one who gets launched from a catapult. (Vladimir is holding the wheel to turn and turn until the catapult can be launch high enough)
Keep looking flyboy. It's there.
Eugene
I'm sorry. Weren't you supposed to be halfway to a convent by now? (asks Cassandra)
Yeah. Just my luck. Must've taken a wrong turn somewhere. (tells Eugene)
Oh, okay. Whoa. (Lance grunting) (Pete takes one of the presents from Lance)
Present delivery for the princess! (telling Pete and Stan)
Sorry. No one goes in or out. (tells Lance)
Lance, I know what you're trying to do. Frankly, I don't blame you. We don't wanna see the princess locked up either.
(gasps) Wait! Are you insinuating that I am trying to break the princess out? Well! I'm just embarrassed for both of you.
Well, Stan said it, so...
I assure you, there's nothing but gifts in these packages. (putting the presents on the ground then tells Pete and Stan) Have a look. (Pete is shaking the present that he is holding to find out what is inside it) (upbeat music) (Pete and Stan are opening the presents) (Rapunzel opens the door to see if Lance has Pete and Stan distracted with presents then Lance winks at Rapunzel then she closes the door) (Stan holds a nightgown and Pete holds a music instrument)
(gasps) An accordion? I have always wanted to play one of these.
Well, what's stopping ya? (asks Pete)
Stan, wasn't I just saying-- (starts playing the accordion)
I was just saying-- We wanna start a band called "The En Gardes". You know? Do you get that? (asks Lance) (Rapunzel sees that Pete and Stan are distracted then gives Pascal a thumbs up) (Pascal squeaking when he goes outside to give a signal to Cassandra)
That's our signal. (sees Pascal with a telescope then jumps off) (Eugene checks the note and sees that he doesn't have to be launched)
Eugene
Ha! I knew it! There's nothing here that says "I have to--"
Oop! My mistake! (about to launch Eugene and Hook Foot)
Eugene
Wait! No! (turns around and sees Cassandra slicing of the rope with her halberd) (rope snaps) (catapult cranks) (Eugene screaming)
Man, that felt good. (Eugene and Hoot Foot screaming)(Eugene and Hoot Foot thud on a dome then Eugene points the bow to the top of the dome while Hook Foot holds the rope that is attached to the bow then Eugene aims an arrow) Are you ready? (asks Hook Foot)
Nope. Not in any way. (tells Eugene)
Eugene
I'll take that as a yes. (tells Hook Foot then Eugene puts the grappling hook and picks up the rope and runs with Hook Foot) (tense music) (Eugene and Hook Foot swing as they tie the rope around and around the tallest tower while holding onto the rope) I am not loving this plan! (thuds) (groans) (Eugene and Hook Foot slammed to the side of the wall)
