- Really?

- Yes.

You'll come with us.

Why does he always

cry when I hold him?

Well, you needn't hold him

as though he was so fragile.

He doesn't want me.

He wants his mother.

I can't take care of him all the time.

I will take care of him when he's older.

Mind your head. Watch your heads.

Who might that be?

It's the Steward and the royal family.

Hello there.

What brings you into the woods?

The royal quarters

have been destroyed.

No!

The kingdom is under attack.

What is the royal family going to do?

How should I know?

I don't make policy, I just carry it out.

I think it best we just go back to

the village. We'll take the girl with us.

Come with us, you're going to be fine.

You are going to come with us, all right?

Oh, my God.

It's a giant!

It's a giant woman!

Where is the lad

who killed my husband?

- There is no lad here!

- We haven't seen him!

We will get him for you right away!

Don't move!

It was you who destroyed

our house, not an earthquake!

And who destroyed my house?

I want him!

Here, would you

like a blind girl instead?

How dare you? She wants the boy!

Jack!

Has anybody seen my Jack?

He ran off again.

Have you seen Jack? What?

She is looking for him, too.

Give him to me!

Jack is just a lad!

We had no food to eat,

so he sold his cow

in exchange for some magic beans.

The boy! I want the boy!

You leave my boy alone!

I'm waiting!

Be quiet, woman,

or you'll get us all killed!

You must be quiet!

Flouncing through our kingdom

in your great big clodhoppers...

Let us not anger the giant!

...destroying everything in your path!

- Let's not anger the giant.

- You're just a big bully!

I'm gonna get my boy

and hide him so you'll never find him!

- You'll never, never, ever...

- Get back, woman!

The boy is hiding in the steeple tower!

- You can find him there!

- Yes!

- That's true!

- Yes!

Yes, we saw him there!

And if he is not, I will return tonight

and find you.

All of you!

- Are you okay?

- Look.

- What have you done to her?

- What?

I didn't mean to hurt her.

I was just thinking of the greater good.

If we're going to get through this

we're going to do it

if we all stick together.

Some people are cut out

to battle giants.

Others are not.

I don't have the constitution.

And as long as I

can be of no help, I'm going to hide.

Let's go.

Everything will work out fine in the end.

Not always.

Come along.

I don't know

where they think they're going.

The giant's already destroyed

the entire village.

Only thing left of my garden

are these beans.

What are we going to do now?

We have no choice.

Find the boy

and give her what she wants.

But if We do, she'll kill Jack!

And if we don't,

she'll kill half the kingdom!

We mustn't let her get Jack!

We're not going to. It's okay.

- You promise?

- I promise.

Just rest.

Rapunzel?

Rapunzel!

You're safe!

Thank goodness!

Who are you?

Surely you remember.

Of course,

-you don't recognize me.

- Mother?

This is who I truly am, my dear.

Now you don't have to

be embarrassed by me.

But you must come with me.

- There is a giant in the land.

- My darling!

Are you all right?

- Why did you run off?

- I was afraid.

- Come with me.

- No, no, no!

She is not going with you.

You will come with me.

I will not come with you.

Well, then, you leave me no choice.

No!

No!

- Oh, my God.

- Wait.

You are the one who blinded me.

And locked me in a tower.

To protect you!

And banished me to an island

in the middle of a swamp!

I was just trying to be a good mother.

Rapunzel, no!

You will never be safe with him!

- Take me away from here.

- No!

Don't you understand?

I never want to see you again! Ever!

But, Rapunzel, the giant!

No matter what you say

Children won't listen

No matter what you know

Children refuse

To learn

Guide them along the way

Still they don't listen

Children can only grow

From something you love

To something you lose

Jack!

- Jack!

- Jack!

Jack!

Jack, where are you?

Jack!

We're never going to find him.

I think we should fan out.

It will increase our chances.

- I'm not leaving you on your own.

- I'll be all right.

What if we get lost?

We count our steps from right here.

I'll go, too!

No. You know what?

You are going to stay

right here with the baby.

And we'll be right back.

You would leave our child with her?

He's asleep.

He will be safe with the girl.

I'm very capable

of taking care of the baby.

See?

- What if the giant comes back?

- What if, what if!

500 paces. Go.

- One, two, three...

- Wait, wait, wait.

Here.

Let me give you this.

I don't want you to get cold.

Okay.

One, two, three, four, five...

- Jack!

- Six, seven, eight,

nine, ten...

Jack!

167,168,169,170,171,

172,173,174...

Hello, Your Royal Highness.

Well, hello.

Hello, again.

We've met before, actually.

Yes, of course.

Yes.

You must be here to slay the giant.

- The giant?

- Yes.

Haven't you heard?

We have a giant in our midst.

Not an earthquake.

Of course.

The giant.

It's a lady giant.

Which is very unusual.

I should think so.

And why are you alone in the woods?

Well, I came here with my husband.

And we were...

Well, you see, it's a long story.

And he would let you roam

alone in the woods?

Well, no, actually. It was my choice.

How brave.

Brave?

Yes.

Anything can happen in the woods

May I kiss you?

Any moment we could be crushed

Don't feel rushed

This is ridiculous

What am I doing here?

I'm in the wrong story

Wait, wait, wait, we can't do this!

You have a princess!

- Well, yes, I do.

- And I have a baker.

Of course.

You're right. How foolish.

Foolishness can happen in the woods

Once again, please

Let your hesitations be hushed

Any moment, big or small

ls a moment, after all

Seize the moment, skies may fall

Any moment

But this is not right!

Right and wrong don't

matter in the woods

Only feelings

Let us meet the moment unblushed

Life is often so unpleasant

You must know that, as a peasant

Best to take the moment present

As a present for the moment

476, 477,

478, 479, 480.

481, 482, 483...

Excuse me, ma'am.

You haven't seen

a boy anywhere, have you?

He's about so high.

I'm sorry, may I be of some service?

The tree has fallen.

Mother's grave, destroyed.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't complain.

I'm sure others have

suffered worse after the earthquake.

No, no, this isn't an earthquake.

There's a giant terrorizing the kingdom.

Then I'm sure the Prince will see to it

that the giant is rid from our land.

The Prince?

No doubt he's off somewhere

seducing some young maiden.

What?

You look like the Princess, but dirty.

Oh, my! You are the...

I didn't recognize you, honestly.

No, no. Please, get up.

I'm not a princess here.

I had to disguise myself.

I'm not permitted to leave

the palace unescorted.

If you'd like, you could come with me.

I mean, you'll be safe in our company.

Thank you.

It's this way. My wife is somewhere.

We decided to walk 500 paces

in one direction...
