Jack the Giant Slayer Page #4

... and prepare for battle...

... everyone! We attack at dawn!

Hail! Hail! Hail!

Hail!

Stop! Please...

- ... let us go!

Quiet, you.

Don't worry, princess.

Everything will be all right.

Jack.

Let's see where I put that.

You're here.

You sound surprised.

Yeah, well, we're miles up

and you're afraid of heights.

I'm not afraid. Just not wildly keen.

Fee-fi-fo and fum

Get Elmont.

I like mankind

Served well-done

Fallon likes them raw and red

Freshly snatched and not quite dead

Don't worry. I'll get you out.

I had this, Jack.

I took my eye off the ball...

... but I had this.

Mm-hm.

Ow. Careful.

Watch out.

- Take this.

Got it.

Tasty treats

Them's good eats

Phew.

Elmont!

Hello, little one.

- No!

- Put me down!

- They brought me...

... a duchess once.

Quite a fat thing.

But you:
all skin and bones.

They tell me you're a princess.

Let's hope they haven't

spoiled you rotten.

What's that?

Kill him, Jack!

Well done, Jack.

Well done.

Here.

Thanks.

Come on.

I know the way out of here.

Where's Crawe?

A winner!

General Entin.

You called for me, sire?

You think we should cut it down.

Such words have never

passed my lips, sire.

I'm not asking what you said. I'm asking...

... what you believe.

I believe what I see, sire.

And when you look at the stalk,

what do you see?

I see a way up and a way down.

And I pray, as do all my men,

that your daughter finds her way down.

And if something else

finds its way down first?

Well, that would mark a time

when no man...

... from noble birth to lowest...

... would wish he were king.

Sorry, general. It looks like mankind

is off the menu this evening.

You.

Me?

No, not... You.

Huh?

I have a job for you.

It's a hell of a view, my old friend.

That should stop...

- ... the bleeding.

- What is it?

Yarrow. It's just a weed...

... that grows everywhere,

but it can be useful.

You know a lot about the land.

Ought to. Been working it all my life.

Whereas I have merely owned it.

If I hadn't have run away,

none of this would have happened.

A princess is such a useless thing.

If you hadn't run away, Roderick would have

taken over the kingdom with no warning.

Your running away just might have

given Cloister a fighting chance.

So no one's useless,

least of all the princess.

That's why we need to get you back,

because one day you'll be the queen...

... and from then on you'll have the power

to make the world better.

Isabelle...

... imagine all the good things

you could do.

That's what my mother used to say.

- The bleeding's stopped.

- Good.

So which way now, Jack?

Follow the water.

That'll lead us to the edge.

Roderick's handiwork, no doubt.

He must've sent him...

... to block the entrance.

I've got an idea.

What?

We're gonna wake a sleeping giant.

Well, that doesn't sound like a good idea.

This is a terrible idea.

Have you ever killed a giant before?

And you've killed, what, one?

Which makes you an expert now?

Weren't you in an oven an hour ago?

All right, then. The moment he clears

that hole we make a run for it.

What the...?

Bees!

Why do these things

always happen to me?

Whoa!

You did it, Jack.

You did it.

Uh, right.

Let's go.

Princess, Jack.

- Go. I'll be down as soon as I can.

- What? No, Elmont, we go together.

- I'm not going anywhere without that crown.

That's not the mission.

Find the princess and bring her home.

You complete the mission,

get her to her father, leave Roderick to me.

- But...

- Did you ever kill a man?

Go.

Thank you.

Here.

Thank you for saving...

... my life.

You're one of us now, Jack.

I'm honored.

Just come back to us...

- ... okay?

- I will.

Go. Go.

Isabelle. Come on.

Forward!

That looks nice.

General Entin.

Sire.

Cut it down.

But...

The legends are true.

For the sake of the kingdom...

... cut it down.

Did you hear me?

Forgive me, Isabelle.

You heard your king.

We cut it down!

You know, for someone

who's not wildly keen on heights...

... you're doing awfully well.

I've been doing a trick

Crawe taught me.

What's the trick?

Picture something just ahead of you

within arm's reach.

Something that makes you happy.

Sounds easy enough.

It really is.

Cloister.

I never thought I'd miss it.

Isabelle...

... before you go back to your world

and I'm back in mine...

... whatever happens from here,

I just want you to know that I think...

Look at all those lights.

What are they doing?

They're waiting to welcome us home.

We need two more.

I said get the carts moving!

Yes, sir!

Pass it up! Come on, quicker!

I got it!

Steady, now! Lift them up!

Don't let those blazes go out!

Get some water up here!

Brothers, all together!

Halt.

You there, Fye, Foe, set me down here.

- Highness.

- Your Majesty.

Shh.

Oh.

Down we go.

Help me!

Dig them out.

Come on, brothers.

Come on, lads.

Unh!

Harder. Come on!

You thought that you were

the hero of this story.

Don't you know...

... that we all think that?

I may not be the hero of this story...

... but at least I get to see how it ends.

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

No!

All hail King Fallon!

Hail!

I need more men!

Now!

Get up, boy!

Come on!

Stand clear! Stand clear!

Oh, no.

Hang on.

Sire, quickly!

No!

Isabelle...

... hold on tight.

- Ready?

- Uh-uh.

Jump!

Jack! Hold me.

Well, that worked out better

than I expected.

Take cover!

Your Majesty.

Father!

Isabelle!

Oh, thank God! Ah.

I thought I'd lost you forever.

And the rest of the Guardians?

Only Elmont survived.

But he stayed behind

to confront Roderick.

Why?

Roderick betrayed you, Father.

He had the crown,

the one from the legend.

He meant to use the giants

to take Cloister.

Roderick?

I trusted him with my kingdom.

And worse, I would have trusted him

with you.

Isabelle, I am so sorry.

It doesn't matter now.

It's a long ride back to the castle.

Come, let us get you in your armor.

Where's Jack?

Who's Jack?

The one I came down with.

The one who rescued me.

The farm boy?

Jack?

A word.

I sent my best Guardians up that stalk.

- All heroes, sire.

- Yes.

But you brought Isabelle back.

As a king,

I can reward you with many things.

As a father...

... I can never reward you enough.

That's very generous, Your Majesty.

It's more than I could ever ask for.

Matching armor. Nice.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

They're waiting for you.

But...

To remember me by.

I won't need any help remembering.

Goodbye, Your Highness.

Jack, I told you...

- ... call me...

Isabelle.

Time to go.

Ah.

Not now.

What?

What?

Bean!

Are you ready, my brothers?

Can you taste it?

Here comes the thunder.

Fee!

Fye!

Foe!

- Fumm!

- Aah!

Onward and downward!

Feast on the mankind!

Sweet blood!

Make way! Make way for the others!

To Albion!

Remember, Fumm:

- The princess is mine.

- Mine!

So sayeth the king.

Yeah!

Anser. It's good to see you, boy.

You've come a long way.

Have I got a story to tell you.

Hiya! Hiya!
