Snow White: A Tale of Terror Page #3

The Black Death.

I didn't want to send them away,

they were like our family.

You were compelled to do so.

Everything has happened,

with Lilli still gone and....

-Yes.

-And with Frederick.

I'm trying to be strong.

I have no one to turn to...

for solace and understanding.

I feel so alone.

So alone.

What a fine young man you are.

What a wonderful husband

you're going to make Lilli.

I miss her so much.

Will you find her for me?

Yes, of course.

I can rely on you, then?

I promise.

-I promise.

-I'll tell Frederick you called.

He's much better.

[Moaning]

He dreams of fire.

They tied him to a stake,

then burned his family while he watched.

Then they placed

a red-hot cross of iron on his face.

-Because he would not repent.

-What was his crime?

-He would not fight for their cause.

-Who were they?

Crusaders for the Church.

Men of God.

My face, it frightens you?

Yes.

Scares me, too.

[Humming]

FREDERICK:
Lilli.

Father?

Lilli.

Father?

Father?

Lilli.

Lilliana.

Lilli.

Father.

Lilliana.

Lilli.

Lilli!

Lilli.

Lilli.

Lilli!

Lilli, over here.

Come on! This way!

No.

Watch out.

No.

Lars!

-Lilli, no!

-We can't leave him.

Lilli, come back.

Reach out your hand.

Come on.

I got it.

Help me.

-Don't.

-No!

Good journey.

Good journey, old friend.

-Good journey.

-Good journey.

Good journey.

Why does she live?

While your child lies cold and still.

What?

Take back the child and give him life.

How?

Steal the father's seed.

Bathe the child in the father's blood.

Frederick's life...

for his.

Hello, Frederick. Did you miss me?

Claudia.

My poor husband. Look at your arm.

What happened to you?

Where have you been?

Where are the servants--

I want to free you of your misery

for a little while.

I want to give you a moment of peace...

and happiness.

What are you doing to me?

It's what any wife would gladly do

for her husband.

I have seen our child, Frederick.

I want you to give him life.

Life?

The life he never had.

The life he was meant to have.

That's enough.

You must become like the serpent.

The serpent's fruit is what you need.

I give my brother's heart.

[Moaning]

Don't be afraid.

I'll take care of you.

Boo!

Forgive me for startling you, my dear.

You look troubled.

Are you lost?

I was. But now I'm going home.

Good. Make sure you're out of the forest

by nightfall.

There are creatures here. Men and beasts.

-I know.

-You know.

I know, too.

[Humming]

Delicious.

Dearie. You want an apple?

I have another one.

I have no way to pay you for one.

It's a shame.

Never mind.

Two ladies on the road together....

For luck.

It's beautiful.

Well, don't just look at it, dearie. Eat it.

I'll share it with a friend.

With a friend?

You mean a....

You mean a boyfriend?

I was young once.

I had many boyfriends.

Life is sweet when you're young, eh?

So, tell me...

what's he like?

-He's strong.

-That's good.

And he's kind and gentle.

And you love him, don't you?

You can tell me, your old granny.

You can tell me.

What's the matter, dear?

Cat got your tongue?

Give us a kiss, dearie.

You can see and you can hear.

But from inside the tomb of your mind...

no breath will escape your lips.

No tears your eyes.

To the world, you are dead.

And soon, even your precious father

will forget you were ever alive.

But you, my dear...

you will have all eternity...

to remember.

Lilliana.

Lilli.

Lilli!

Lilli!

What is she doing here?

-What are you doing?

-I'm a doctor.

-Lilliana?

-How do you know her name?

-We were going to be married.

-Can you help her?

-I don't know yet.

-Can you help her, please?

I said, I don't know yet.

Lilliana.

[Claudia laughing]

Lilliana.

-Rigor mortis.

-What?

I said her limbs are stiffening.

There's nothing more I can do.

LILLI:
Father?

FREDERICK:
Go away, phantom.

Father!

Go away, phantom.

My daughter is dead.

I'm going home. I'm going to take her back

to her family for a proper burial.

No. Lilli will stay here.

She's gone.

What are you doing?

Lilli?

PETER:
Leave her alone.

I demand you stop this at once.

-Stop this at once.

-No.

[Glass breaking]

Leave her in peace.

Breathe.

Leave her alone.

Breathe.

Breathe. Breathe.

Breathe.

Breathe.

Good journey.

Good journey.

Good journey, little princess.

I'm in your debt.

Come, Lilliana.

[Frederick screaming]

Where are you taking me?

I brought someone to keep you company.

She knew I would come back.

Let's not disappoint her, then.

FREDERICK:
Claudia.

[People reciting prayers]

I'm going to go find her.

I'm going to find my father.

Lead the way.

Lady Hoffman?

Is that her?

Yes.

Lady Hoffman?

[Growling]

Get back!

No, Odo, no!

Come on, through here.

Father? Father!

Go away, phantom.

-Father, it's me.

-Go away. My daughter is dead.

Take my father out of here.

Milady.

[Screaming]

[Chanting]

Ilsa?

Ilsa?

[Claudia laughing]

CLAUDIA:
You seem quite alive...

for a little wench

who's been rotting in the ground.

I felt you stir...

the moment you took your first breath.

-It was like a knife in my heart.

-You have no heart.

That's too simple.

I've seen what you've done to my father.

For my son.

Your baby is dead.

He's alive in this room.

Dearie, don't point that thing at me.

Someone might get hurt.

That's better.

[Baby crying]

My son.

-My son!

-Claudia.

No!

What have you done to me?

What have you done to me?

What have you done to me?

Help me.

Am I in paradise?

Father.

Lilliana.

Yes. It's me.
