Daniel Spellbound (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 12 - Episode #1.12 - full transcript

[mystical music plays]

[tense music plays]

Shak? You in there?

Shak?

[Daniel grunting]

Danny, what's happening to her?

[tense music continues]

[Daniel grunts, screams]

-[grunts, screams]
-[metal clanks]

You're okay. Take it easy.

Whoa!



That was, um… [panting]

It was like…

Like you had
a family reunion in your head.

Yes! Exactly.

Yeah, family totems
can trigger that with new users.

They show you anything cool?

I think one of them
helped me finally figure this out.

[Shakila grunts]

[panting]

[electricity powers down]

[grunts] This is stupid.
Why can't I keep this shield up?

Hey, hey, don't beat yourself up.

Without a shield, plenty of other people
will do that for you.

Thanks.



Hey, since we're all learning stuff,

any idea why your brother
has a shrine to all things Spellbound?

[tense music plays]

Beats me.
I was a little kid last time I was here.

Jayce didn't fill me in on

whatever this is.

What's in that thing?

Let me see.

"Ancient Seekers? Preserver of magic?"

What is this?

[Hoagie] Danny, focus.

Clock's ticking.

I need to be human,
and you need an Untrackable.

Hey, where is it, anyways?

I don't have it.

You-- What?

How could you promise
to give us something you don't have?

I said if you found my brother,
he would give you his Untrackable.

I don't know where his vault is.

[exhaling] Okay. Deep breaths.

You stared down the Dark Mage.
You can handle her.

Okay, you got me.

Looks like I have no choice
but to help find your brother.

-And he'd better come through.
-Yes!

You find Jayce,
he'll get you anything you want.

Let's go!

Look for a clue.
A planner. A calendar, maybe.

He would have been too careful
to leave something specific, like a map.

[Hoagie sniffs, oinks]

Hey, guys, I think I found your clue.

You were saying?

Okay, this is real not good.

He's in the most cursed place on Earth:

the Bermuda Triangle.

[suspenseful music plays]

[door thumps]

[door whirring]

[woman] Well, if it isn't
my little disappointment.

Hello, Dowser Santana.

Prisoner Thomas. [scoffs]

Doesn't have quite the same ring to it
as Primus, does it?

I'll tell you exactly
what I told the others

who came looking
for the Scepter of the Primus:

the quest is the point.

If I just tell you, you'd never find it.

No. Different question.

If only the worthy can wield the Scepter,
how did you use it?

Did the power corrupt you?

Or does this Scepter
have a messed-up idea of worthy?

Why? Afraid you won't measure up?

Power doesn't corrupt, Santana.
It reveals. It shows you who you are.

I wonder, what would it show you?

You don't have what it takes
to make this journey, Santana.

I've seen who you really are, Dark Mage.
And my friends and I kicked your butt.

If you found the Scepter,
I'm pretty sure I can too.

I meant you literally
don't have what it takes.

On this journey, you'll need to pierce
the veil of death itself.

Witching Silver.

It's the only thing
that can let you astral-project.

[door whirring]

[suspenseful music continues]

[ball rolling]

[pins clattering]

[ball rolls, stops]

Why are we bowling in an empty alley?
Let's get going to the Bermuda Triangle.

I agree with Shak.
Tropical paradise awaits!

[chuckles] The Bermuda Triangle
is no paradise. Look.

[groans] No one can read that
but you, Danny.

There's an ancient curse there,

tries to pull the magic in it
to the bottom of the ocean.

[keyboard clattering]

It's near impossible to track
and filled with--

-Sandy beaches!
-Yes, true.

What do you think is more likely?

Jayce got caught in a curse,
or he's chilling with a coconut drink?

Coconut drinks. I hope.

Oh, like the kind
with the little umbrella?

We have a good clue,

but the map doesn't have
an exact location.

-We can get help reading it here.
-Okay, cool.

I'll go ask the no one else here.

Just watch.

[computer beeping]

[bowling alley beeps]

[pins beeping]

[TV beeps]

Oh, we just got to get a strike. Easy.

[upbeat music plays]

I may not have powers,
but you are about to witness magic.

[ball banging, rolling]

[ball bangs]

Guess I'm up.

-Hey, it's my turn.
-Uh, that was a warm-up.

Getting the bad rollout up front,
you know? Now watch.

Magic!

-[grunts]
-[ball banging, rolling]

[pin clattering]

[groans] We're gonna be here a while.

Third time's the charm. Behold.

[ball banging, rolling]

[gasps]

[ball bangs]

Oh, come on!

[Hoagie and Shakila laugh]

[pins clattering]

[balls rolling, banging]

[ball rolling, banging]

[TV beeps]

Come on, dude.
There's only one frame left.

Just give me one, please,
with a cherry on top.

Give me that.

[scoffs] Good luck.
This bowling alley's clearly rigged.

-[ball rolling]
-[pins clattering]

Yes!

[TV beeps]

Lucky for you,
I actually know how to bowl.

-Jayce taught me.
-[floor whirring]

[wood clattering]

Good game.

[scoffs] For one of us.

[tense music plays]

[arcades beeping]

What is this place?
There's no one even a--

-[arcade beeping]
-[buttons clattering]

Let me do the talking.

Haruspex, long time no see.

-We will need a--
-Shh! Don't interrupt me.

-[tires screeching]
-[arcade beeping]

-[car crashes]
-Oh, no! I almost had him that time.

Why do the gods I spited hate me?

You got a quarter?

[coin clanking]

-[car engine revving]
-[arcade beeping]

You the kid who kept hitting the gutter?
Need the bumpers?

It's me. Daniel Spellbound?

You hired me to track
Aztec snake feathers a while back.

Oh, yeah! That guy!

[laughs] Hey, thanks!
They're great for polishing bowling balls.

You got more?

I nearly got my head bitten off
by a ridge-backed water dog.

So that's a no then? [chuckles]

Anyhoo, what can I do you for?

Haruspex, we need help with this map.

The Triangle? Oh boy.

Anything magic in that place
is definitely way lost.

My brother's missing there
and scared, in danger, and needs help.

Read this map so we can find him.

Please.

-[tires screeching]
-[car crashes]

-[arcade beeps]
-Don't worry, little girl.

I'll find him easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Really? You can?

I'm an oracle.
I can read the secrets of anything.

Except when you're gonna double-jump me!

What's the catch?
This stuff always costs something.

Very astute, talking cat.
To find him, I need something in return.

I don't have any quarters.

[suspenseful music plays]

[Haruspex laughs]

My magic's more like equivalent exchange.

To find a secret location,
I need a secret…

from you.

A deep secret.

Strong enough to power my magic.

Just speak into me.

When I was a kid,
I thought if you ate an apple,

the seeds would make
a tree grow in your stomach.

Does that work?

[laughs] Oh, shocker.
Your secret's about eating.

[mystical music plays]

[energy whirring]

[Hoagie yelps]

[burps]

Guess not.

[grunts, coughs]
Equivalent exchange, remember?

To unlock a secret,
you have to give up a real secret.

It's your brother. How about it?

I, uh…

I don't know.

Why do I have to do this?

Okey dokey.
Good luck finding your bro, then.

I guess somebody's bound to get lucky
in the Triangle one day.

I--

Look, I've been alone for so long.

He's my only family. I just want him back.

[helmet whirring]

I'm closer than I've ever been
to finding him,

but I never trained
in all this magic stuff.

[inhales] I'm just afraid
that when he needs me the most,

I'm gonna let him down.

[mystical music plays]

This I can work with.

The map.

[mystical music ends]

X marks the spot.

[upbeat music plays]

Thanks.

Haruspex, you're a lifesaver.
Maybe literally. Later.

If you're really thankful,
you'll bring back my feathers!

[upbeat music ends]

Whoa! I thought this was some kind
of fake-out disguise truck.

You actually have ice cream in here?

[scoffs] I'm offended you didn't think
I had ice cream in here.

-Tell me what you want.
-Hook me up with some rocky road.

You are a woman of great taste.

Guys, we have no idea what danger
Jayce could be in. Keep your eyes open.

Hmm.

How do we get there?
Does this thing drive on water?

Not exactly.

-[transmission clattering]
-[truck engine revving]

[lightning cracking]

[tires screeching]

[Shakila] Oh! Wow!

[hesitates] Maybe the tropical paradise
is behind the creepy fog.

What the…

[sniffs, oinks]

[groans]

Oh, the air smells rank out there!

It's rotten magic.
Like the opposite of the ice cream truck.

What, like brussels sprouts?

Like an anti-teleportation spell.
Everybody hold on!

[truck engine revving]
-[lightning cracking]

[all scream]

[truck rattling]

You okay?

We've gotta get out of the truck!

-Wait.
-No!

Got it!

[truck rattling]

[groans]

Shak, don't move!

[screams]

Hold on!

[tense music plays]

[Daniel grunts]

[Daniel grunts]

[gasps]

Shakila, please, just let that go.

-I can't. It's my brother's.
-Brother's! Yep!

[both grunt]

-[Shakila grunting]
-[truck rattling]

[Daniel grunting]

[truck rattling]

[spear clanks]

[water sloshing]

Whoa. We landed on a boat.

Oh, figured that out, Hoag?

[Hoagie] I've just never been
on a boat before. Pretty cool.

-[metal clanks]
-[Daniel grunting]

I've carried solid gargoyle steel.

How are you guys heavier?

[whimpering]

I feel awful.

It's okay, buddy.

It's just not fair. [whimpers]

All that ice cream lost at sea!

[sobs, groans]

We need to find Jayce. Carefully.

With the truck gone,
we have no escape plan.

It seems empty.

Someone put that defensive magic up.

[sniffs]

[coughs, groans]

This place smells brussels all over.

And not the good, crispy kind.
The mushy, gross ones.

-Is it coming from anywhere?
-It's coming from everywhere.

I can't pick out anything in this.

What did Jayce get into?

[suspenseful music plays]

Any thoughts?

Just that I never thought I'd miss
the stale pee-pee smell of New York.

[groans]

[gasps]

Wow, solid gold. [chuckles]

False alarm. It's just a statue.

Alchemists.

Wait, I thought we were cool
with the Alchemists now.

Not so cool we can break into their stuff.

[yelps] This feels very bad.

Why did they transform each other?

To save themselves from whatever did that.

[electricity powers starts]

Whoa, we don't want any trouble.
We're just here to see Jayce--

Hand over Jayce Chinda.

Don't--

-I do not like the look of that.
-[Alchemist blasts]

[Alchemist whirring]

Looks like Jayce
took a love cruise with zombies.

The Bermuda Triangle curse
is feeling very real right about now.

[Alchemist whirring]

Daniel, tell me you know how to stop that.

I don't know. I've never seen
magic like that in my life.

Whatever happened
to them must have-- [yelps]

[Alchemists whirring]

[Alchemists whirring]

Need a heads-up when you smell these guys.

Everything smells the same.

We better hope
Jayce didn't get turned into one,

-or we came here for noth--
-[both yelp]

[Shakila panting]

[Alchemists whirring]

Shak, take them if they get close.
I'll go along. Hoagie, you keep watch.

With my one eye or busted nose?

Whichever works. Let's go.

[Alchemists blasting]

[Shakila and Daniel grunt]

[Shakila grunts, groans]

[Daniel grunting]

-[grunts]
-[Alchemists whirring]

[metal clanking]

[groans] Oh my gosh. Did you see me?

Wow. Maybe we should get disc thingies.

You're telling me.

[Alchemists whirring]

[Hoagie grunts, snorts]

I got something new. And it is gross.

This way.

[suspenseful music continues]

Behold, the source of stink.

[groans]

He's in there. I know it.

In a Soul Box?

Shak, that thing's basically
a tiny super prison.

-They only stick you in one if you--
-They must have imprisoned him.

Why are you so sure?

Because why else wouldn't he come home?
Something kept him from me.

[suspenseful music intensifies]

Get down!

[Daniel grunts]

-[Shakila grunts]
-It's a security drone.

How do we get past it?

Uh, good question.

[Alchemists whirring]

Okay. I can open that lock,
but, Shak, I need you to cover me.

You have to make your shield. Got it?

Shak, get your head in the game.
I can't do this alone.

The Alchemists are there.

[scoffs] Don't worry about the Alchemists.
Those goldbrickers are mine.

Hoagie, no.

Hoagie, yes.
I can distract a squad of glitchy zombies.

Everyone forgets I'm not your hype man.

[Alchemists whirring]

I am the hype.

-[Alchemists blasting]
-[grunting]

[Hoagie laughs, grunts]

-[Alchemists blasting]
-[cheers, laughs]

Ready to save your brother?

I can't do this.
I don't know how to use my shield.

[hesitates] I can't. I… I can't.

I know you're scared, but you can do this.
Your secret led us here.

You're stronger than you know,
and I need your help.

Jayce needs your help. Are you in?

[tense music plays]

[drone blasting]

Cover me while I crack this thing.

[vault cracking]

-[drone whirring]
-[grunts]

-Whoo! Too slow, shiny. [oinks]
-[Alchemist blasts]

[Hoagie grunting]

This was a bad plan.

[drone whirring]

How much longer is this gonna take?

[vault locking]

It keeps relocking.

Whatever's in here,
they didn't want it getting out.

[loud thump]

Uh, does your brother have super strength?

-[Alchemists blasting]
-[panting]

[Alchemists whirring]

[Hoagie sighs]

[Hoagie] Oh no! I fell!

I'm so small and helpless.
I hope no one finds me.

Thanks for doing my job, suckers.

-[Alchemists whirring]
-[door closes]

[Alchemists whirring]

-Oh, right. You can do that now. [screams]
-[Alchemist blasts]

Are we sure Jayce is inside this thing?

Yes, we are. Just keep going.

-[drone whirring]
-[grunting]

[groans]

[drone whirring]

[drone clanking]

[drone whirring, shutting down]

Yes! We just need that door open now.

-[Alchemist blasts]
-[Hoagie panting, oinking]

Bad idea. Never listen to me again.

[drone whirring]

[grunts] I think we're out of time.

[vault cracking]

[grunts]

[Shakila grunts, groans]

[metal clanking]

-Shak!
-[drone blasts]

[drone and Alchemists whirring]

[loud thump]

[vault unlocking]

[vault blasting]

No. That's not him.

[grunts]

What did we just let out?

[grunts, growls]

[roars]

[closing theme music plays]

[closing theme music ends]

[robot whirring]
