Go!

You came back for me.

- Of course I did.

- Why?

I guess I thought it was the

right thing to do.

- They could have killed you.

- It was still the right thing to do.

- And also...

- Yes?

... because I care about you.

We need to search for Otto.

- I know. But that's not the

first thing. - What?

We've to get to the heart of this.

Where it all began,

who it began with.

- The sorceress!

- Exactly.

- I am afraid.

- What?

I am ashamed to say it,

but I still fear her name.

You should be angry, furious.

She destroyed your life.

Anger, yes.

I feel anger.

But she made me as I am.

I fear what her magic could

do to me.

So, you've to destroy her.

- Can she be destroyed?

- I don't know.

But if she isn't,

then she and Count Rudolph...

will have this country in the

palm of their hand.

What does that matter to me?

You think the people would

take me as their king?

No. Probably not.

- Then why should I do it?

- Because it's the right thing to do.

And because I hope that you care

for this land and the people in it.

The people who shunned me?

The people who spat at me?

The people who wanted

to kill me?

Yes, those people.

The frighten people,

the ignorant people...

and also the good people.

People like Otto,

people like my mother!

They need someone to

stand up for them.

- Against the sorceress?

- Against the sorceress.

- You ask a lot, Belle.

- And you have a lot to...

No!

Are you alright?

Yes... yes.

He didn't touch me.

- And I've decided something.

- Yes?

The witch must die!

You look like a real hunter.

- A witch hunter.

- A monster hunter!

Sorry, I wasn't thinkinig.

But the troll is a monster;

and you weren't.

- I just look like a monster.

- Not to me.

And besides, what makes a monster

is the soul, not the hide.

So you and I are real

monster hunters.

You are not thinking of

coming with me?

If we go hunting, my friend,

we go together.

What?

You jibbering stupid fool.

I gave you the most powerful

magic I possessed.

I gave you the best dagger ever made,

and you failed?!

I ought to put you in the cauldron

from which you came.

Get in the cage... go!

You haven't earn it,

so you don't get it.

No! No more until I said so.

And should something

happens to me,

no one in the world

knows how to make more.

Get in the cage!

You'll be back sooner

or later.

You'd do anything for a

drop of that.

Now, for that damn Beast.

Smoke?

Welcome to the killing zone, Beast.

I called on Ahura Mazda,

God of the Storm!

Damn your eyes...

Perhaps literally!

Wait till this hit you.

You've come here to kill me,

I suppose.

No one deserves to die

more than you do.

I'm sure you're right,

but considered one thing

before you shoot.

- What's that?

- I made you what you are.

Which is just one reason

why you should die.

And the whole reason why

I should live...

Because only I know how

to turn you back.

If you kill me,

you'll stay a Beast forever.

Spare me and I'll turn you back

into the prince you really are.

Now, isn't that a wonderful bargain.

- You are evil!

- Quite true, but...

... you see this?

This came from your head,

when you were still human.

I used them against you, and I also

used them to give life to my troll.

Your life.

And only I can take it from

him and give it back to you.

Only you?

You need me, Beast.

This country needs me.

With my power and your strength,

we could rule it together.

Show you could do it.

Changed me back into what I am.

- All in good time, dear boy.

- Now!

You can't threaten me.

Not if you want my help...Max.

Max?

Oh, that's what your father

would have call you.

After himself,

Maximilian the XIV...

before he got obliged to

abandon you.

Turn me back now or you die.

I'm sorry, I don't respond

well to threats.

In fact... I hate it!

Nobody tells Helena of Augsburg

what to do!

No!

What a perfect morning this

has become.

I get to kill the Beast and

slit the throat

of his beloved all in one morning!

How dare you?

- You killed her for me.

- There was no choice.

You could have let me die.

You could have forced her

to change you back.

If you're dead, I would have

no reason to go on.

Do you really mean it?

Lie down.

Oh God! Oh...

There must be something

here that can help you.

Yes!

Please! Please!

Oh... thank God!

He's taking over.

What?

- Count Rudolph.. he's got the troll.

- I loved it!

He's going to make himself

the new king.

What has that to do with me?

Everything!

You are the rightful heir.

I would have been if I hadn't

killed the witch.

You still are,

no matter what you look like.

If Count Rudolph takes over

with that monster by his side...

- ... this place could turn to hell.

- Belle, everybody hate's me!

And there's only two of us.

Three of us.

Don't forget me.

- Otto!

- You came!

Well, doesn't looks like you

needed me.

There must be something useful

we could take from here.

We need to formulate

a plan to announce to see

who's going to take over

this kingdom.

That's enough. Quiet, all of you.

Listen to me.

And why should we listen

to you, Rudolph?

Because we've to select

a new king.

- We've to listen to each other.

- To you, you mean.

It's an excellent start.

After all, it was I that caught

the famous Beast of the forest.

- Oh... and let it escaped again.

- That's not fair!

- Witchcraft was involved.

- Ha... witchcraft?

And aren't you

surprisingly friendly with

that famous witch,

Helen of Augsburg?

We're not having a witch

friend for a king.

So pipe down Rudolph,

and get down from there.

Yes, it's true.

I'm friend with

Lady Helen of Augsburg.

In fact she gave me a gift.

A wonderful gift.

Well... take it home and

played with it, Rudi.

Uncovered it!

Now... it would be

much more generous of me

if I let it play with you.

You see, there was a time

this creature...

only answered to

Lady Helena of Augsburg.

But now she's transferred

his affection to me.

Shut it!

Shut the door at once.

Pick one of them... kill them.

Just one!

Then have some more of this.

We won't be intimidated

by some goblin.

We are all armed.

My little red friend isn't afraid

of your swords.

Attack him!

Wonderful demonstration,

don't you agree?

How about a small round of applause?

Nothing? Duke Henry...

you wouldn't want to hurt

my creature feelings, would you?

Back in the cage.

Gentlemen! Nobles...

It's time for us to choose

a new king.

Excellent work!

I'm aware they're a few

of us equally qualified,

by rank and by blood,

for the title of the king.

But in view of my recent

contributions to the country safety,

I would like to put my name

forward first.

I'm going to ask each and

everyone of you

one by one if you'll support

mine becoming the next king,

starting with you, Duke Henry.

Do I have your support?

Yes, cousin Rudolph.

I'm sorry. I can't hear you.

Yes, cousin Rudolph.

The rest of you...

do I have your support?
