Jack the Giant Slayer Page #3

He might be an asset.

Now go. And may God help you

bring back my daughter.

Hold to a line...

... soldiers!

Please, sir, the other side

of the tree. That means move back.

Please, sir.

Move back.

What do you suppose...

... is up there?

I'm not a superstitious man, Jack.

I never suppose.

I simply prepare for everything.

- What, like giants?

No, everything real.

Fear...

... of heights?

Fear of falling.

Well, then don't fall.

Oh, that's great advice...

... yeah.

All right, let's get moving, chaps.

I hope you're not putting yourself...

... through all this with the aim

of impressing the princess.

What? No.

Good.

You'd be barking up

the wrong beanstalk.

Even if she could...

... avoid marrying Roderick,

law dictates that...

... she will never marry a commoner.

Tallyho.

Your turn.

Come on, Jack, it's not very far.

Come on.

You want to know a little trick?

- No.

- When I'm afraid...

... I imagine a big piece of cake...

... floating right in front of me.

Brilliant. Thanks.

Like a reward waiting for you,

just within arm's reach.

Right.

Can you see it?

Not really.

Then go get it!

Crawe.

Am I dead?

Not just yet.

Help us! Pull us up!

Bloody hell!

Help!

Wicke! Wicke!

I think it's time...

... to lighten the load!

Help!

Wicke...

... what are you doing?

No! Please!

What's happening down there?

No! Please!

Sorry, boys!

Roderick, what's going on?

The line!

It snapped!

They're gone! They're all gone!

Isabelle.

Well, look at that.

Well, she's not in the house.

This is the only other place she could've gone.

And if she climbed down...

... we would've seen her.

She didn't climb down. She climbed up.

Why would she do that?

If she were cold.

Or hungry.

Or looking for an adventure.

Crawe.

Bald.

Thank you, sir.

Is this all you have?

The rations went down with my men.

Ah.

- Where are the beans?

Shh.

My lord?

There are exactly three men in Cloister...

... who can make a person disappear.

The Lord High Constable,

the Lord High Steward...

... and the Chief Advisor to the King.

Unfortunately for you...

... I'm all three.

Come on.

Come on!

Come on!

And not a word. Or you and your uncle...

Poof!

Crawe? It's her, yes?

Course it's her. She's a smart girl.

- Isabelle?

- So she can find her way back.

Keep up, or you'll be left behind!

All together now!

Pull!

And heave!

Pull!

Maybe he slipped.

Yes.

Maybe they all slipped.

There's another mark. Half finished.

Something happened here.

Isabelle!

Isabelle!

Isabelle!

Isabelle!

Isabelle!

Isabelle!

Isabelle!

I'm getting an awfully bad feeling

about this, Crawe.

She's a resourceful girl. We'll find her.

She hid in here.

- I think something grabbed her.

Why would you think that?

This is the book I gave her.

And look at those broken branches.

Crawe.

Something big pulled her out of there.

- She's in trouble.

Bald...

... go with Wicke and Roderick.

Take the high ground.

We'll continue on this way.

Don't engage in anything unless you have to.

Our mission is to find...

... and return the princess.

And we must assume that this is now

hostile territory.

And that every story your fathers...

... told you was true.

Good luck.

Anyone hungry?

Elmont!

- Hold on!

Elmont!

Me knife! I can't get me knife.

Get the knife.

Come on, man, cut it.

Go on, lad.

Come on.

Elmont, come on.

Just cut us out!

- Okay!

You wanna do it?

Almost there.

Just a bit more.

Crawe.

What was that?

- Help me get down.

- Jack.

Get out. Get out, lad.

Get out now!

We'll have to go around.

Your Lordship,

stay here and get some rest.

I'll scout out the ridge

and find the safest way across.

Most considerate. Thank you.

Oh, look. There's Isabelle.

Do you see her?

Right there.

Where?

We see you, my darling!

- We're coming, my love! Right there!

- Where?

Is she okay?

- Roderick?

- Yes?

Why is it, right, people always scream

before they die?

Do they think it's gonna help or some...?

Aah!

Put me down! Roderick!

Do you believe in God?

Well, do you?

Of course.

Would you like to meet him?

Not yet, no.

Then you will answer our questions.

How did you get here?

I won't answer.

I understand...

... what telling you would mean.

And not telling us.

Where are the...

... others?

I came alone.

You think we are fools?

Where you go, many more will follow.

You are a descendent

of Erik the Terrible, are you not?

Are you not?

Erik the Great?

That was so long ago.

Have we...

... faded into legend?

We have...

... forgotten the look...

... of his face.

We have forgotten...

... the sound of his voice.

But we never forget...

... a smell.

Your blood betrays you, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

My brothers...

... at long, long last,

the mankind have returned.

They're uglier than I remember.

And among them...

... comes the blood...

... of our jailer...

... Erik the Terrible!

Erik.

- Hello there.

Oh, my God.

And today...

... we will taste...

... the sweet nectar...

... of revenge!

Revenge!

General.

Fee, well done.

Put us down!

Patience.

Elmont. Crawe!

Your Majesty!

Princess!

A delightful reunion.

I'm afraid we haven't met.

How many are you?

Piss off, giant!

Crawe, quiet.

How did you...

... get here?

Where is the way down?

Choke on my bones.

Crawe!

No! No!

Out of the way! I want some!

Finn!

- What is it?

Time to eat!

Make way!

What have you heard?

- I heard there was three of them.

Three? How did they get up here?

I don't know.

Perhaps they've learned to fly

in the air like birds. Ha, ha.

Nah, they're probably too stupid for that.

Ha-ha-ha.

That's true.

Come on.

Let's see what all the fuss is.

So tell us how you...

... got here...

... or we eat her.

No, general.

I found her.

The right to eat her...

... is mine alone.

We know the rules...

... of the hunt, Fumm.

But she is different!

The general abuses his power.

You're not our king.

No!

I believe that distinction...

... now belongs to me.

Foe? Fye?

We had no choice, General Fallon.

He has the...

The crown.

Yes, the crown.

Cut from the same rock...

... as your hard hearts.

They are inextricably linked.

To deny the crown...

... is to deny your very existence.

So on...

... your knees.

Lower.

Lower.

Roderick!

On your feet, general.

- Prisoners of Gantua!

Well done, Roderick.

- Have them release us at once.

Ah-ah-ah.

I'm talking to giants at the moment.

By the way, darling...

... wedding's off.

What?

So prisoners of Gantua...

... I bring you the gift of freedom!

Tonight we feast...

... but tomorrow you shall return

below with me...

... as your new king.

First...

... we'll take the kingdom of Cloister...

... and then her neighbors.

And in time, we will...

... test this Viking myth

of a greater land across the sea.

Are you mad?

Yes. It seems that power's gone

directly to my head.

You traitorous bastard!

Yeah.

As I was saying...

... gather your armor...

... sharpen your swords...
