Beauty and The Beast Page #4

---

And if it wasn't for me,

he would never have come here.

You don't think the Beast

killed your mother, do you?

Otto, the Beast was found

beside my mother body!

It was the troll, Belle.

It was the troll, he told me.

That's what he said... yeah,

back at the village.

There was a troll... I mean,

where's this troll?

Any time he comes around,

something bad happens

and he's a monster.

No, no, no.

What's really going on here, Otto?

Who is this Beast?

Well, it all started when

Maximilian fell in love...

with Lady Helen of Augsburg.

For a long time...

she was the only woman for him.

He couldn't take his eyes off her.

- ... they went everywhere together.

- I thought they never married.

People said he discovered she

was cruel and hard-hearted,

and a sorcerer.

He shunned her, and...

well, they became bitter enemies.

The King ..

King married the beautiful

Elizabeth of Austria...

and eventually they had a child.

But I thought the King

was childless.

I thought the Queen died giving

a still-born.

No.

No, Helen cast a spell on the baby,

and he was born terribly deformed.

Poor Maximilian was distraughted

by the death of his wife...

- ..and he couldn't accept the child.

- How do you know all this, Otto?

I was a servant in the palace...

and I was ordered to

disposed of the child.

Though he was hideous,

I couldn't bring myself to do it.

I took him to a old hunting

lodge deep in the forest...

that I went to with

my father as a boy.

I bring the lad food as

often as I could but...

... eventually he didn't need it.

I taught him to hunt for himself.

Does the King knows

he still has a son?

No, no. No one does..

As I got to know him, I...

I realized that beneath

that horrible exterior...

was one of the kindest, gentlest

being I've ever known.

A true prince, Belle...huh.

I promise you that.

A true prince--

Does he knows?

It would have been too cruel.

It sounds like you really

care for him.

As if... as if he were my own son.

And I know he could never do any of

the thing that he's been accused of.

I believe you.

It's... it's just--

What?

I think I cared for him too.

Come on, let's go see him.

- Who goes there?

- It is me, Sheriff Otto.

- Let us through.

- Halt!

What's she doing here?

She has the right to confront

the killer

of her own mother, doesn't she?

Now... let us pass.

Well... I warn you,

he's got a weapon.

He could kill you without

even leaving his cell.

- How did that happen?

- Never mind.

Yeah... well, we'll take our chances.

There's no need for the rest of

you to stay here the whole night.

He is secure enough,

wether he's got a weapon or not.

Count orders, we stayed

here until the thing's executed.

It's a waste of time putting

him on trial if you ask me.

I did not kill her.

I know. I believe you.

Otto told me your real story.

- What real story?

- About who you are.

- I think you should know the truth.

- Belle, no.

Alright, then.

You're probably right.

Damn her eyes!

Why didn't that fool Rudolph

get rid of him when he could?

And why didn't I get rid of him?

I'll send you in my little one,

but we can't risk letting anyone

seeing you now, can we?

Not until the Beast has

been proven guilty.

But after that...

there'll be plenty of works

to do, won't there?

So you shouldn't be in

this jail cell.

You should be in the Royal Palace,

acclaimed as the next king.

It's true! Don't you believe it?

I believe you, I believe Otto.

But who else will believe?

If Helen used sorcery,

if she casts a spell...

perhaps it could be broken.

- Broken? - Well, in the story,

there's usually something.

What?

Come here.

Closer.

Put your face between the bars.

What're you doing?

Close your eyes.

You kissed me.

I was trying to break the spell.

Not so easy, I think.

No.

Alright...that'll do.

Time for you to go.

You need your beauty sleep.

Come on!

The King is dead!

The King is dead!

God bless the King!

The King is dead!

The King is dead!

God bless the King!

The King is dead!

The King is dead!

God bless the King!

Hear me lad.

Place the head there!

Hold it! Get out of the way.

Hold him. Stand out of the way!

Tie him up! Hold him.

Shut up!

What the hell do you think

you're doing?

Following orders!

This is a trial,

not a torture chamber!

The prisoner've to be kept secured

for the safety of the jury.

- And also kept quiet.

- I am the sheriff here.

And I will not let you do that!

It's on account of you

we're doing it.

- What?

- The Beast attacked you.

What are you talking about?

Of course it didn't attacked me!

Oh yes he did!

Vicious huh?

Dump him somewhere.

By the time he wakes up,

it'll be all over.

- You find her?

- No, sir.

- What?

- The house is empty.

We went round the whole village.

Afraid she's escaped, sir.

You are an idiot!

No mind, we've got the

place surrounded.

If she tries to get in,

we'll have her then.

After he's dead, don't matter what.

And he woke me up and said,

"Where's the wash woman house?"

And I showed him.

And then he slammed my head

against the table.

The washer woman was torn to pieces.

And the Beast was standing over

her covered in blood.

It is the same monster that I saw

coming out of the old hunting lodge,

and there he tore men

apart in minutes.

Well, I believe that's enough

from prosecution.

Is there anyone here to stand

up for the accused?

Anyone?

Sheriff Otto? Sheriff Otto

here to stand up for the accused?

Sheriff Otto is too ill to attend,

my lord.

It seems the Beast attacked him.

And the Beast himself have

nothing to say.

Members of the jury,

have you reached a verdict?

Is the Beast guilty or not gulty,

of the dead of the

- washer woman, Anna?

- He's guilty.

We have, my lord.

And what say you,

guilty or not guilty?

Guilty, my lord.

Quiet... quiet!

Now I hereby announce sentencing...

Death by beheading.

- Woh!

- For Anna!

Immediately.

Kill him!

Kill the Beast!

Let the ax fall.

- Quick... run!

- Who threw that?

I can't see a thing.

I think it's time to go, don't you?

Bastards!

- Thank you.

- Keep your hands apart!

Keep them on the block.

They are getting away!

Quick, they are escaping!

Quickly... over there!

Get them!

They got away!

No!

Fool!

Justice having fail troll,

it's time to set you loose again.

This time, it's the Beast.

I know! I know... he's stronger

than you and almost as ugly!

But... would you like some

of these, hmm?

Well, you'll get some once

you've got him for me.

And I'm going to give

you a little help.

Do you know what this is, troll?

This... turns living beings

into stone.

And here's the perfect

way of providing the Beast

with the required dose.

Now that the mixture's on the dagger

all you've to do... is stick it in.

You are not too afraid of

him to do that, are you?

Good!

Now go into the forest

and hunt him down.

Ooh, and troll...

if the girl is with him,

and you're in the mood,

feel free to break her head off.
