Progress! Now let's figure out

exactly what this hair is made of.

This machine can analyze any substance

for chemical makeup,

bitopic composition,

and urgu-structural integrity.

- I built it myself.

- Nice!

If I'm right, this should

tell us all there is know

- about your hair.

- Raps, are you sure you wanna...

- Rapunzel?

- Let's do this.

Okay! Rapunzel. Now, um,

this may get a little...

Exciting?

Um, sure! Yeah!

That's a good word for it.

Whoa-kay!

Whaaa! Whoa!

Varian:
And there we are! Done.

All right. Not super fun, but it's over.

Ha! Oh, sorry. Yeah, I... I meant

done with the first test.

But don't worry, only 86 more to go!

Blondie!

Amazing!

You were right,

it's absolutely unbreakable!

But I'm betting you're not!

Let her go!

Eugene! Hey!

Blondie! You're okay!

You wanna tell me what's goin' on here?

You know what? I don't care.

I'm gettin' you outta there.

Hey! You're Flynn Rider!

No. You don't know

what you're talking about.

I've never seen you before in my life.

You can't prove anything!

I'm your biggest fan!

See?

Hey, now! Flynn Rider, nice to be met.

I used to see your wanted

posters all the time!

You're my hero!

Oh, well, "hero" is a bit much.

I've read every single book about you!

Oh... well, um, you see,

that's not actually me.

I just took the name from the book.

Hey, hey! Remember the time you

dueled that evil knight, blindfolded?

No, no, not me. Do you

wanna put that down?

This isn't right, Cassandra.

I have to tell him what's going on.

No. Rapunzel, I want to trust you,

and I trust that you trust Eugene,

but I don't trust Eugene,

and if I can't trust Eugene,

I can't trust you, and you're

just going to have to trust me.

Trust me, that logic tracks.

Tell me about how you took on

the Earl of Camembert!

Also not me.

Would someone please

explain to me who this child is?

I'm Varian!

Hot, hot, hot, hot!

Oh, come on!

What was that trembling?

Trembling? I didn't

notice any trembling.

Oh! Yeah! Almost forgot

to get the spectrometric press!

It's the only way I can read

the results of the test!

Flynn Rider! Wanna come with?

Oooh! No.

Hey! If... If... If you come, I can

show you something really special,

but, um, you've got to keep it a secret.

You want to tell me a secret?

Did you hear that, everyone?

- Varitas... V... Var...

- Varian!

A complete stranger

wants to tell me a secret!

Listen, buddy, I need you to tell me

everything that the princess told you.

Oh, yeah. Well, okay, first, she said,

"We're looking for Varian,"

and then I said,

"I am Varian!"

And then she said,

"Uh, hi, sorry to bother you, sir,

but I wanna ask you about my hair."

Wait, oh, I'm sorry, let me back up.

I forgot to tell you about the

raccoon trap. So, there was...

Yes, that's great, but what I meant is,

tell me all the important stuff

she said.

Mr. Rider, when the Princess of

Corona speaks directly to you,

every word is important.

I know that press

is here somewhere, Flynn.

Again, it's Eugene.

Here it is!

And, once the tests are done,

it'll print the results

on parchment paper...

That's muy interesante,

but getting back

to what the princess said...

Whoa, whoa!

Why does that keep happening?

Flynn Rider! I believe I promised you...

a secret.

Now, if my dad knew

I was down here, he'd kill me.

Of course, if he knew

what I was actually doing

down here, he'd probably be impressed,

or at least I hope he'd be impressed.

These tunnels

run through my entire village,

which make them perfect for my project.

What project?

This project.

I don't get it.

Through the miracle

of alchemy... not magic...

I have found a way to heat this entire

tank of water with a single drop

of my newest, yet to be named

compound... which I'll call Flynnoelum!

- I still don't get it.

- I'm gonna surprise my village

by bringing the people

hot, running water!

I've constructed five of these

babies all throughout the caverns.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

These... these tremors...

your machines are causing them?

No, no, no. My machines

are not causing them.

The chemical reactions they trigger do.

And no one else knows you're doing this?

Okay, listen, kiddo. I'm no expert in...

whatever this is, but anything

that can cause earthquakes

cannot be safe.

We've gotta warn people about this.

No! We can't! Okay?

You gave me your word

you'd keep this a secret.

And besides, I am an expert,

and this is all perfectly safe.

Yeah, it does... Does that all the time.

Only 12 more tests to go!

Yaaaay!

Team Awesome is ba-aaack!

Now, Rapunzel, I know my tests

have been a pain in the hm-hm.

Aw, I wouldn't say pain.

Y... Now I would.

In a moment, this little guy...

he'll give us all the answers we want.

Woo-hoo! Answers!

So, Eugene!

Got yourself a secret, huh?

If you wanna call it that. The

kid ha... uh-uh, nice try, Cass.

Look, Raps, I think

it's time to go. Now.

Now? You're kidding, right?

This is almost finished.

Can we talk?

Of course! That's

what Team Awesome does...

Those things down there are dangerous!

Dangerous? No, they're not dangerous,

I... I have adjusted my calculations

for every possible outcome.

The margin of error is...

is less than .56 percent

or... now, wait, was it .57?

I don't know!

Look, Varian. I think you're a good kid,

a... a... a smart kid,

and you got great intentions.

But I'm asking you...

pleading with you...

For the love of my life,

and your entire village,

to please shut off those machines

until a seisma-quake-atologist

can come inspect 'em!

Please! Do it for Team Awesome!

Ohhhh!

I suppose I can turn them down... a bit.

All right! Six more tests.

Then we can leave, right?

Go someplace far away?

Really, really far away.

Why do you want us to leave so bad?

Oh, no, you can stay.

In fact, it'd be great if you stayed.

That way, when these things

blow u... Oh, boy, never mind.

Whoa... Wait! What did you just say?

Okay, Varian.

I... I guess it was .57. Heh.

Eugene, what is wrong with you?

Okay! You wanna know why we have to go?

Oh, no... the Flynnoleum!

Look, I tried to show you I could

keep a secret, but I can't!

This kid...

Varian's got five of these

huge, highly-pressurized

underground machines,

and they are clearly unstable.

I think they could blow up any minute!

- And that minute is now.

- Get me out of this machine!

Um, guys? Hurry!

Give me your arm!

Eugene!

Varian! He's gonna get himself killed!

Get her outta here! I'll get the kid.

Rapunzel:
It's over!

I need those results!

No!

Whoa!

Listen, kid! We gotta get outta here!

No, no!

No, I've got three pumps to shut off,
