Daniel Spellbound (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Episode #1.7 - full transcript

You got this, Spellbound?

Me? I mean, yeah, totally.
I do this all the time...

-Ow!

Whoa!

Quick, send us somewhere else!

It needs time to charge.

Just keep driving then. As long
as we're in the truck, we're safe.

Oh, yeah. We're super safe.

Whoa! This is way
better than a slingshot.

Less talking, more shooting.

You did it!



Listen, you don't get to be a Tracker
like me without squashing a few... bugs!

Whoa! Tell me you
got this, Santana?

Oh, sure. I just carry a parachute
in my truck. Doesn't everybody?

- Really?
- No! Of course not!

Come on.

Wow. That worked out way
better than I thought.

I hate bugs.

What? These are
Royal Guard Wasps.

Their venom is worth a ton.
Plus, it might come in handy.

You're here to collect
bug spit or rescue Hoagie?

Listen, you got your
methods, I got mine.

We have to get to the Insect
King's Staff before Burden.

It's our only chance to stop
Burden and rescue Hoagie.

Well, good news is, Flyzilla down
here belongs to the Insect King.



Means we're close to his palace.

Let's have a little look.

That's the Mirage.

Burden's set up camp
right next to it.

He hasn't opened it
yet. We have a shot.

Bixby Prospero is with him.
He must have hired her.

Wait, what?

Burden's got backup.
This can't be good.

If Burden's not in the Mirage,

it means Hoagie still
has the Gem in his belly.

If the Mirage is down there,

then the Insect King's
temple should be…

-You hear that?

Jackpot.

That giant skeleton is
the Insect King's temple?

He's a magic poacher. Trust
me, they're all weirdos.

If the Wasp Guards are there
to convince you to stay out,

they're doing a pretty good job.

Yeah, but that's where
the Staff will be.

Let's go.

You know, maybe I should stay out
here… in case Burden shows up?

Lucy Santana, you're a Dowser.

Are you really that
scared of bugs?

No, it's just entering insect hives
crawling with wasps and stingers and venom

really seems more like a
"Daniel" kind of thing.

Don't worry. I got
a plan brewing.

Chameleon dust meet wasp venom.

A cloaking spell? Clever.

I told you this
would come in handy.

Now, if I only knew a wizard
who could activate it.

That should buy
us a little time.

Royal Guard Wasps find
their prey by smelling them.

As long as the spell holds up,

we should smell like
a couple of wasps.

Here goes, well, everything.

Don't worry, Lucy.
We'll be okay.

All right, hit me.

That's cold.

It worked. He couldn't see us.

The King's down there.

Get ready for a fight.

You ready?

Nope. Big… fat… nope.

Lucy, that Scepter is our
only way to save Hoagie.

I can't do this alone.

Fine.

Okay, you got this.

Just don't think about the
sharp… pointed… stingers.

Careful.

Thanks, Spellbound.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Oh no, the spell is wearing off!

Look out!

Whoa!

Hang on, Spellbound.

This might hurt.

Wait.

There's too many of them!

Over there!♣

Why aren't they attacking us?

I don't know.

Get out of here!

Now!

This keeps bugs
away? Give it to me.

Looks like the
Insect King's shield.

Must have an "I command thee"
spell on it to control the wasps.

Careful, he's got to be
around here somewhere.

Daniel, I think I found him.

Whoa.

What happened to him?

Burden.

Burden one, Insect King zilch.

I'm about to become the
richest Tracker in the world…

…as soon as I get that Gem
from your fat little belly.

Do what you have
to do, Prospero.

Poor Hoagie.

Maybe we can try...

Try what?

Burden already has
the Staff and the Gem.

You're real pain, Spellbound,

but somehow, you always
manage to turn things around.

Wait a minute.

Check this out.

Burden doesn't have
the Emerald yet.

Hoagie must be holding on
to that Gem super tight.

That's my pig.

We need a plan.

I hate saying it but we
can't beat Burden head-on.

Got any ideas buzzing
around in your head?

Buzzing?

Yeah, I got a few hundred.

Burden straight up disrespected
you, and now you work for him?

Wake up, Pros-broke-o.
He's using you.

What does he pay
you in? Insults?

He should pay you with soap.

That was a freebie. Wanna work
for me now, you Goblin goon?

I'm so sick of your voice.

What did you do to him?

I tried to make
him more bearable.

Don't break him.

This porker and his magic-sniffing
snout are gonna keep making me money.

Whoa... Huh?

Hmm. Ow.

There's a better
way to shut him up.

Feed him whatever he
wants, as much as he wants.

The Gem will work its
way out of his belly.

Sorry, I'm not all that hungry.

You better eat up, Hoagie,

'cause one way or another,
that Gem's coming out of you.

Waiter?

I'll take an apple pie,

potato fluff cakes, and
some oven-roasted kale.

I need my greens. Chop-chop.
And keep it coming.

These fluff cakes need
way more melted cheese.

Fix it, Chef Loser.

Oh, no.

Wait for it.

If you added a dash of sea monster
salt, this kale would be salvageable.

Okay, I'm ready for dessert.

What is this? Bran
flakes in prune juice?

Just trying to
get that Gem, pig.

Lucy?

What was that? What
are you smiling about?

Uh… H-Hey, stop your questions
and get back to cooking.

I don't eat poo porridge,
I eat cake. Now bake!

That's it. I'm cutting this
emerald out of you right now.

If I'm going out,

I'm going out on a full stomach.

Spellbound!

Perfect.

You wanted a fight,
Burden? You got one.

Prospero, get out here. Now!

Prospero!

Stay put, piggy.

We're under attack by the
wannabe Tracker. Cast something.

No.

What?

I'm not doing squat until I get
a bigger cut of the Egg bounty.

I admire your swagger, Prospero,

but I'm sure you don't wanna
break the Tracker Code, do you?

No, I don't wanna
break the Tracker Code.

Lucy, what are you doing here?

Hoagie, it's so good to see you.
Come on, we gotta get outta here.

Wait, are you and Dani
friends again? Is he here?

He's fine, but right now, run!

Come on.

What's wrong?

I've… had pies.

So many pies.

I'm gonna...

Ugh!

Gross!

I can smell it from over here.

Get the Gem, now!

Hoagie, run!

This is gonna be sweet.

You're finally gonna pay, piggy.

I've been paying
since I met you.

Cook yourself up a breath
mint and save all of us. Phew!

Nah, I don't think so.

Next thing I'm gonna be cooking
is a big plate of bacon.

Daniel!

Hey, thanks for
coming for me, man.

Hoag! Man, I'm… I'm
glad to see you.

Yeah, glad to see
you, too, I guess.

Sorry it took so long, but you
know I wouldn't leave you hanging.

I hate to break this up, but
is there any ice-cream left?

-Let's get out of here.

Burden's gonna catch up soon. I
need you to duplicate the Gem.

What? No, no, no... no way.

Duplication spells are
dangerous and illegal.

A dupe spell will
buy us some time.

I'm sorry. I… I can't.

We need to do something else.

Oh, okay. Let me just pull
a new plan out of my butt.

You send bugs to fight
your battles for you?

Eh… to be fair, you did
previously kick Daniel's butt in.

Give me the Gem.

Daniel, get up!

Shh.

We're instituting a new
quiet rule for Team Burden.

What?

You guys okay?

Yeah.

Let us go, Burden.

You have what you want.

Yeah, let you go so you can come up
with some crazy scheme to attack us?

I don't think so.

You don't think
period, stinkball.

I'm glad you're awake, kid.

You're about to see all
your hard work pay off…

for me.

Open… sesame?

Why aren't you opening?

Oh, tough luck.

You know, only two people know
how the Staff opens that door.

Who was it again?

Mm… Oh yeah, the Insect
King. Maybe he could help?

Yes, he could.

But Burden knocked him out of
his exoskeleton, so there's that.

Let me guess, the answer's
in your little notebook, huh?

I'm the only one who
can get you to the Egg.

I know how to get into the Mirage
and how to face all the traps inside.

You're gonna tell me
everything that I need to know.

I will, but not for free.

What do you want?

We help you get the Egg, you let
us all free, including Hoagie.

Tracker Code Deal?

Daniel, no.

- We can't make that deal. This is not...
- Deal?

The three of you
are so irritating.

Tracker Code Deal.

Pardon me.

- Gotta stretch out the old hamstrings.
- Ugh!

Cantharis.
