Dragons: Riders of Berk (2012–2014): Season 1, Episode 13 - When Lightning Strikes - full transcript

[dragon growls]

- Let's go, bud.
[dragon roars]

- Yeah.
- Wow.

- Wow.
- Whoa, nice.

- That was pretty good.

- Living with dragons
has its ups and its downs.

[wood snaps]

[wood creaks]
you need to stay calm,

[screaming]

Keep a clear head.

Not always easy with vikings.



More supports?

- Eh, well, they are dragons.

- In our own way,
we're very reasonable.

- It's okay, girl.
Just take it easy.

- [happy roar]

- [cheering]
- way to go!

- So we built these things
so stuff wouldn't break?

- I don't understand you people.

- And they tricked us into
helping them build them.

I feel so used.

And sweaty.

- But when a problem is caused

By something vikings
don't understand,

They lose all sense of reason.



And that can become
very dangerous.

[glasses clink]
- perches for dragons.

Some of your best work, men.

[sighs]

Although we may need to move
the one over the well.

- And the perches
are just the beginning.

We could build
landing areas for them.

Maybe even stables in the caves
underneath the village and--

- Easy, son.

Remember, berk is still
for people.

- Vikings before dragons.

- [curious grunt]

- Yeah, I said it.

Deal with it.
[thunder rumbles]

- The lightning
is hitting everywhere.

- It doesn't usually
strike here in the village.

- Thor must be angry.

The only other time
I can remember

Lightning
ever striking berk...

Both: Barnstadt.

- Barn who?

- Jurgen barnstadt.

Drifter.
Sailed into town.

He was stealing
from widows and old men.

- To punish him,
thor gave him a lightning bolt

Right through his helmet

When he fixing the mast
on his ship to make his escape.

[chuckles]

- By the time thor
was finished with him,

Our whole fleet was on fire.

- We shipped him off the island

And thor hasn't
hit the village since.

- Threw him off the island?

Pretty harsh.

[scattered screams]

- Gobber.

- [screeches]

- Gobber, organize
a bucket brigade.

I'm going up to the great hall.

- [frightened roar]

- Toothless!

I gotta find Toothless.

- Yeah, now that's
what I'm talking about.

- I've always liked thor.

- Ugh, I love these storms.

When it rains,
I cancel bath night

And just stand outside
with nothing but a sponge

And a bar of soap.

- We know. The village
has had meetings about it.

- I need your help.
I need to find Toothless.

- I just saw him
by the great hall.

- Don't worry, men.

You're gonna be all right.

- It's striking throughout
the entire village.

It's like we're under siege.
[thunder rumbles]

- I've never
seen thor this angry.

- Toothless!

- Did you all see that?

- Yes.
- Ooh!

[awed mumbling]

[lightning cracks]
- [frightened roar]

[frightened roar]

- Look, the lightning
is following him.

- Toothless.
- [coos]

- Don't you all understand?

Thor is mad at all of us.

And I'll tell you why.

Because of him!

As you all know,
the night fury

Is the unholy offspring
of lightning and death itself.

We've let him live among us

And now we will all
pay the price.

- Well, it did seem as though

The lightning
struck right at the dragon.

- Yes, right at the dragon!

And a lightning storm

The likes of which
we've never had.

There is but one thing
for us to do.

Banish the night fury!

It's the only way.

[murmured agreement]

[lightning cracks]

- Thor is angry at us
because of the night fury.

You all saw it.

[murmured agreement]

- What? No!
This is ridiculous.

- If we don't act now,

Well, need I remind you
of...Barnstadt?

[worried murmurs]
- barnstadt? Oh, no.

- You're right, all of you.
Thor is angry.

But I don't believe
he's angry at Toothless.

- That's right.

Have you all forgotten

What Toothless
has done for this village?

- Well then, who do
you suppose he's angry at?

- I don't presume to know
thor's mind, Mildew.

But we will find a way
to soothe his anger.

[lightning cracks]

- Another storm is coming.
- [grumbles]

- Thor tore a hole
in the great hall.

Maybe he's hungry.
I know I am.

- We need to make thor happy.

But what do you get the god
of thunder and lightning?

- In the past, I know thor's
enjoyed a sacrifice or two.

- Let's sacrifice Tuffnut.

- Okay.
What time should I be there?

There better be fire involved.

- Nobody's gonna be sacrificed.

- Not yet anyway.

- I had an aunt
who was cursed by odin once.

She had to pay tribute to him by
sailing to the end of the earth.

- Did it work?

- I don't know.
I guess she couldn't find it

Because she kept showing up
from the opposite direction.

- The gods have never been mad
at anyone from our family.

Knock on wood.

Hop on one foot.

Slap a jorgensen.

[giggles]

- If I were thor, I would want
a giant statue...

- [growls]
- of myself.

Snotlout as thor.

- You do know we're
trying to make him happy?

- Exactly.
Mwah. Mwah.

- [retches]
ugh.

I think I just threw up
in my mouth.

- Actually that's
not a bad idea.

- It's not an idea.
It's a reflex.

- N--what? No.
I-I mean the statue.

- [retches]
there I go again.

- No, not Snotlout.

- Mwah.
- Thor.

- Hmm.

Berk has never given
thor a statue.

- Well, then
it's high time we did.

[metal clanging]

- Ouch!
- [giggles]

Ow!

- Great job.

Uh, one issue.

Thor's knee bends the other way.

You know, like a knee...
On a person.

- Hmm.

- What are you doing?

- I'm making thor's pants.

I hope they're not too tight.

I hate it when
my pants are too tight.

I feel so bloated.

- Okay, guys, we better start
welding these pieces together.

Hmm. Yeah.

I really think
thor's gonna like this.

[crowd chatters]

Attention.
Attention everyone.

Okay, so I know
we're not exactly

Thor's favorite people
right now,

But I am confident
that this beautiful statue

Will go a long way toward

Getting us back
in his good graces.

So, without further ado...

[crowd oohs and ahs]

- Well done!

Thor will appreciate
this tribute

And will smile upon us
once again.

[cheers and applause]

- You really think
this is enough

To appease the mighty thor

While you allow a night fury
in your midst?

You're fools!
All of you!

[lightning cracks]

- Unbelievable.

Even more lightning
than the last storm.

- I don't understand.

We gave thor a giant statue.

- It was a gallant effort, son.

But it looks as though
this is not what thor wanted.

- Gobber, what are you doing?

- Uh, I love Toothless.

I'm just erring
on the side of caution.

- [snorts]
- hey, don't worry, bud.

I'm not gonna let
anything happen to you...

No matter what
some people think.

[thunder rumbles]
- sniffs

- [yelps]

I know you're scared, girl.

If you wanna hold me,
that's what I'm here for.

- Whoa.

Look at all that damage
and destruction.

[shell cracks]

[crunches]

- I know, it's so beautiful.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Whoa.

Nobody blows stuff up like thor.

[shell cracks]

[chomps]

[panicked chattering]

[shocked gasps and shouting]

- That's what thor
thinks of the statue.

I told you what he wants
and we haven't given it to him.

Until we rid this island
of that night fury,

Thor's fire will continue
to rain down upon us.

- You don't really think
thor is angry

Because of Toothless, do you?

- Of course I don't.
[banging on door]

- Open up, Stoick.

We've come for the night fury!

- But I'm afraid they do.

- [coos]

- Get Toothless
to a safe place.

I'll try to reason with them.

- But--

- Just go.
[continued banging]

- Safe travels, old friend.

[crowd chatters angrily]

- Don't worry, bud.

It's you and me.
- [grunts]

- Give up the dragon, Stoick!

Look at your people.

We've had enough.

- You're too late.

He's gone.

- Stoick's already
sent him off the island.

- Thor says otherwise.

The dragon must
still be on the island.

Find the night fury!

Go!

- We can hide Toothless
in the cove for now.

- They'll just find him.

No. We have to leave.

- We?

- He can't make it on his own.

And I wouldn't want him to.

I'm going with him, Astrid.

- But you'll come back, right?

- Yeah. Eventually.

When they all realize

This didn't happen
because of Toothless.

[angry murmurs approach]

- You better go.

[thunder crashes]

- Where's the boy?

And more importantly,
where's the dragon?

- I don't know, Mildew.

But you got your wish.

Hiccup and Toothless are gone.

- Oh, bah!

Find the night fury!

All of you.

- [screeches]

- [screams]

Toothless!

- Ah, there they are!

- [grunts and groans]

Whew.
You okay, bud?

- [rumbling]

- Hmm.

[metal sizzles]
- ow.

That's where the lightning hit.

[thunder crashing]

[electricity buzzing]

Metal.

I wonder...

- [snarls]

- Secure the dragon!

- Toothless!
[grunts]

No! Leave him alone!

- Don't try and stop us.

You'll only make it worse for
your precious dragon.

- [growling]

- Toothless!

- Say your good-bye.

- Toothless!

[groans]

Toothless...

- [whines]

[thunder crashing]

- I know you're afraid.

But this isn't how
we do things on berk.

These dragons are not the beasts
we once thought they were.

They're part of us now.

- Not this one!
Not anymore.

- Release the dragon, Mildew.

- Open your eyes, Stoick.

It's the only solution
and you know it.

It worked with barnstadt
and it'll work with Toothless.

[thunder crashing]

- Hiccup,
they've got Toothless.

They're about to
float him out to sea.

- I know.
Why do you think I have this?

- Ooh, tough one.

How many guesses do we get?
Five?

- Okay...
Astrid, fly me to the docks.

- If you want to get
to that dragon,

You're gonna have to
go through us.

Thank you, lads.

- If we're
choosing sides, Mulch,

Uh, there's more over there.
Lots more.

- We stand with
the chief, bucket!

- Stop.

Stop!

You could get rid of Toothless.

You could throw him
off the edge of the world,

But it's not going
to stop this lightning

From destroying berk.

- What's he talking about?
[overlapping chatter]

- It's the metal.
[thunder crashing]

The lightning is
hitting the metal.

Just think about it.

We never had
a lightning storm like this

Until we put up
those perches.

And that statue, right?

And they're
all made of metal.

- Oh, bah! You ever heard
of anything so insane?

- Well, that's ridiculous!
[crowd grumbling]

- You see, this is where
the lightning struck Toothless,

On this connecting rod--
this metal connecting rod.

[indistinct chatter]

Well, if--if you don't
believe me, I can prove it.

Fly me up.

- Are you sure you know
what you're doing?

- "sure"? Uh...
That's a strong word.

It's really more of a hunch.

I'll be fine.
Go.

- Oh, boy.
Here he goes again.

- He doesn't make it easy.
Hiccup!

- You'll all
see for yourselves.

When I attach this metal rod
to the top of this mast,

The lightning
will be drawn to it--

- Hiccup!

Son...
[water splashing]

- [roars]

- Hiccup...

- [rumbles]

- [grunts]

Son...

- [groaning]

Toothless!
What happened, bud?

At least I didn't lose
another one.

[footsteps approaching]
- my boy!

You're alright.

You took a lightning bolt
to the head.

- Just like barnstadt,

Except we won't be throwing you
off the island.

- So everyone knows
thor wasn't mad at Toothless?

- They do now.

- Until we figure out why thor
was angry at the metal,

We're all walking
on eggshells.

[metal clattering]

- We worked so hard
on that statue.

Kind of a shame
to just scrap it for parts.

- Well, maybe
we don't have to.

Why don't you take it to one
of the high points on the island

And leave it there?
- Good idea, chief.

Would have thought of it myself,
but I'm not the chief.

- Oh, we'll handle that
for you.

[crashing outside]

- [grumbling]

Eh--what?

[grumbling]

You'll pay for this!
[sheep bleating]

- I'm not sure that's
what my dad had in mind, guys.

- Hey, that's the way
I understood it.

[laughter]

[knock at door]

- No matter how much
things change around here,

Vikings are still vikings.

They're not afraid to admit
when they're wrong.

And when they do,
watch out,

'cause you'll be up to your ears
in pie and smoked fish.

- [growling happily]

- [screams]
