Jack the Giant Slayer Page #5

What's the matter?

Nothing, Father.

It's good to be back.

They're coming!

Giants!

The monks haven't rung that bell in...

I don't think I've ever heard them ring it.

Run!

Run!

Giants!

Giants!

Isabelle!

Jack?

Jack!

What's he yelling?

Giants!

Giants!

Isabelle, run!

Kill the mankind!

Rip their heads off!

You can't...

... run from me!

Father!

Make way!

Hiya!

Don't let them get to the castle!

The king approaches!

Close the drawbridge!

It stays open till I give the command!

- Sir.

Form into ranks!

Up to the battlements, now!

Ready the archers!

Release the oil!

Steady, men!

Ready!

Wait for it!

Wait for it.

Light it up!

Raise...

- ... the drawbridge!

- Elmont, no!

Bring it up!

Together!

Keep running, boy!

Come on, Jack!

Wait!

Come on, Anser!

Jack!

- Move in!

Draw!

Fire!

Fumm!

What now?

Get the hooks.

Quickly, men!

Get that bridge up and secure it!

That won't hold them for long.

Jack!

Isabelle.

Archers to the parapets!

- Princess!

Elmont, you made it!

- Jack. That was a close one.

- Yeah.

Elmont!

- Your Majesty.

Roderick?

- Roderick is dead, Your Majesty.

- And the crown?

I'm afraid the giants have the crown.

Form up, fast!

Keep going! Keep going!

Pull!

Archers to the north wall!

Isabelle, in my chambers,

there's a passage...

... that leads to the top of Cloister Tower.

You'll find a beacon there. Light it.

Warn the other kingdoms.

You can count on us, Father.

Jack?

Look after her.

Hiya!

This way! This way!

Men, support the drawbridge!

Men, to the gate!

Come on, men! Pull!

We've got to pull it down!

Looks like we got ourselves a fight!

I need help on these lines!

Forward, to the gate!

Stop here, Jack.

This way, come on.

- What's this?

- A shortcut.

Get those scorpies to the battlements! Go!

Sire!

Go!

Move!

To the ramparts!

Where are we?

Ancient burial ground

for the royal family.

These aqueducts run everywhere

underneath Cloister.

I used to play hide-and-seek here.

You have a lot of ancestors.

- Yes, I know.

Grave robbers?

Apparently, I'm not the only one

who knows about this place.

Get those...

... braces in here!

Bring it up!

What's the matter, brothers?

Aren't you hungry?

Come on, men!

We're losing her!

Let's go! Move it! Move it!

Come on, don't you want to eat? Pull!

Fall into formation on the

south door! Be ready to load in position!

Load them up! Aim high!

And fire!

Get the scorpions...

... out of here!

Men to the ropes! Pull!

Pull!

Heave!

Heave!

And pull!

So, what did you find out up there?

Do these giants have any weaknesses?

Move it!

Not many, no!

It's just like my place.

Jack, come on.

Are you expecting someone?

Run!

Hold fast!

Hold fast to the rope!

That's it!

More trees!

Do this together!

Burn them all!

Take their place!

Stay on the ropes!

Victory, I can almost taste it.

I got this.

Take cover!

Your scent is faint, princess.

Mixed with smoke...

... clouded by char.

But we can always smell...

... fear.

How mankind likes to immortalize itself.

Thinks it can live forever!

Run!

Isabelle, come on!

She's mine, boy!

Jack...

... hurry!

No!

It's the end of the line...

... princess.

Put me down!

Jack!

No!

Who are you?

Gack.

It's Jack...

- ... you freak!

- Ha, ha, ha.

Try not to kick going down, boy.

No!

Jack! Unh!

Oh, fu...

That's it. They're through.

All right, brothers, this is done.

All at once!

Now!

Close the portcullis!

Guardians!

Get the king to safety!

Like hell!

Fall back, defensive positions!

Defensive positions!

Form up!

Stand strong, men!

You smell that, brothers?

Don't you love it

when their blood curdles?

Yeah.

Let's cut a few of them down to size,

shall we?

How...?

There's something behind me,

isn't there?

And so returned the giant hordes.

The stalks cut down with giant swords.

The king struck down the law that read:

A princess must a noble wed.

Then, such a wedding not seen since...

... of a princess and her farm boy prince.

You skipped a part.

What happened in between?

In between?

Well, um, you know, they courted for a bit...

No, not that.

- What happened to the crown?

- You never tell us what happened...

- ... to the crown.

- The crown?

Yeah. What if the giants...

... come back?

Don't worry. It's in a very safe place.

Can you tell the story about

the giants again?

Again?

All right, but this is the last time tonight.

Fee-fi-fo-fum.

Ask not whence the thunder comes.

Ask not where the herds have gone...

... nor why the birds have ceased their song.

When coming home, don't take too long...

... for monsters roam in Albion.

Ask not whence the thunder comes.

Ask not where the herds have gone...

Nor why the birds have ceased their song.

I smell the blood of an Englishman.

Be he living, or be he dead...

I'll grind his bones to make my bread.

And there was a princess

and a golden harp.

And a horse named Anser.

And he took the family horse

to the market.

Or was it a cow?

A cow.

Right, a cow.

At the market, he met an old man who

convinced him to trade the cow for some...

Magic beans.

He traded a cow for beans?

Magic beans.

And how would he know that?

Well, Jack wasn't very bright.

Then his uncle threw one of the beans

out of the window.

No, it was his mother.

And it was three beans.

Fine. His mother threw three beans

out of the window...

And three giant stalks grew high up

into the clouds.

For monsters roam in Albion.

Now, after the crown jewels were

stolen from Westminster Abbey...

... in the early part of the 14th century,

the English government recovered them...

... and brought them here to the Tower

of London for permanent safekeeping.

Okay, make way, make way.

We're going to go across now

to Tower Green.

Now, what's Tower Green famous for?

Well, Tower Green is famous for...

Come on, Roddy! Stay with the group!

Let's go!

Tower Green is where Anne Boleyn

was beheaded.
