Snow White and the Huntsman

SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN (2012)

Once upon a time, in deep winter,

a queen was admiring the falling snow,

when she saw a rose blooming

in defiance of the cold.

reaching for it she pricked her

finger, and three drops of blood fell.

And because the red seemed

so alive against the white,

she thought:
"If only I had

a child as white as snow,

lips as red as blood, hair

as black as a raven's wings,

and all of the strength of that rose. "

Soon after a daughter was born to

the queen, and was named Snow White.

And she was adored

throughout the kingdom,

as much for her defiant

spirit as for her beauty.

We found it in the woods,

it's injured mother.

It must have broken it's wing.

- Don't worry, it will heal in time.

- I'll look after it.

You posses a rare beauty my love.

In here, never loose it.

It will serve you well

when you become queen.

Careful you don't fall. - I'm just

getting you an apple, here you go.

Thank you. William!

William!

The next winter was

the harshest in memory.

Snow White's mother passed away.

The king was inconsolable.

Taking advantage of his

grief, a dark and mysterious

army appeared and lured him into battle.

- What devil spawned this army?!

- Send them back to hell!

No prisoners!

Dark army was defeated, but what

would soon come to pass was far darker.

Sire!

Prisoner.

Fear not, you will come to

no harm from me or my men.

What is your name milady?

Ravenna, sire.

So enchanted by her beauty was the king,

that he forgot for the

first time his broken heart.

And the very next day

she would become his wife.

You're so beautiful.

- That's kind, child.

Especially when it is said that yours is

the face of true beauty in this kingdom.

Come.

This all must be difficult for you.

I too lost my mother

when I was a young girl.

I can never take your

mother's place, never.

But I feel that you and I are bound.

I feel it there, your heart.

You will be the ruin of me.

Indeed my lord.

I was ruined by a king like you once.

I replaced his queen, an old woman.

And in time I too would

have been replaced.

Men use women.

They ruin us, and when

they are finished with us,

they toss us to their dogs like scraps.

What have you given me?

When a woman stays young and

beautiful forever, the world is hers.

First I will take your life, my lord.

And then I'll take your throne.

Welcome brother.

- My queen.

She had tricked her way into the

kingdom with her phantom army.

She now welcomed a very real one.

William!

- Princess! No!

Don't leave!

Princess!

William, don't leave me!

Father we must go back!

We've lost her!

- No!

Out.

Out!

Mirror, mirror, on the wall.

Who is the fairest of them all?

It is you, my queen.

Yet another kingdom falls to your glory.

Is there no end to

your power and beauty?

So poisonous was the reign of Ravenna,

that nature turned on itself,

and people turned on each other.

The land died, and with it, hope.

And all that time she

kept Snow White imprisoned,

high up in the north tower.

Our Father, Who art in

heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name.

Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be

done, on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our sins,

as we forgive those

who sin against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hello.

Hello!

- What is your name?

- I am Greta.

- What happened to you?

- All the girls in our village were taken.

I was trying to reach duke

Hammond's castle when I was caught.

Hammond? Is he alive?

- Does he still fight in my father's name?

- You are the king's daughter?

The night that king died, we were

told all in the castle were slain.

And William? Is the

duke's son still alive?

I don't know princess.

What will they do to me?

Do you remember when we were children

begging for scraps, like those wretches?

- Yes sister.

- Am I not kinder?

Yes.

These two were captured leading an

ambush on one of our supply trains.

Your son? Handsome.

Obviously a debt owed to your mother.

There was a time I would have

lost my heart to a face like yours.

And you, no doubt, would have broken it.

Ian, no!

You would kill your queen?

Such courage, such beauty.

How strong is your heart?

No, my son...

Leave him!

Let him return to the duke, and speak

of generosity of his queen.

Out!

- Magic comes at a lofty price.

- And the expense grows.

- You look...

- Old. - Tired.

My power fades.

I have something for what ills you.

Greta?

Greta?!

Mirror, mirror, on the wall.

Who is fairest of them all?

My queen, on this day,

one has come of age,

fairer even than you.

She is the reason your powers vain.

- Who is it?

- Snow White?

Snow White? She is my undoing?

- I should have killed her when

she was a child. - Be warned,

her innocence and purity is

all that can destroy you.

But she is also your salvation, queen.

Take her heart in your hand and you

shall never again need to consume youth.

You shall never again weaken or age.

Immortality.

Immortality, forever.

Finn!

Brother, bring me the king's daughter.

Did I wake you?

You're always awake when I watch you.

- You've never come in before.

- My sister wouldn't allow it.

- She wants you all to herself.

- I'm not afraid of her.

And not of me?

- No.

Fear not princess.

You will never again be

locked up in this cell.

What does she want from me?

Your beating heart.

Let me out of here!

- Now!

- Greta?

Get me out of here!

Go!

Stop now!

Get her!

Seize her!

Bring her back to me!

How is it, that an innocent young

girl makes a fool of my brother?!

Armed only with a nail?

If she had a sword,

she'd taken my kingdom.

"Bring me the king's daughter",

and you let her slip right

through your tiny little fingers.

How? You swore that

you would protect me!

You swore!

Yet there's no one I can trust.

No one, there's no loyalty, no loyalty!

None! Not even from you! Where is she?!

She was chased into the Dark Forest,

where the men lost her.

She's no good to me in

the Dark Forest lost!

I need her heart!

You failed me Finn!

Have I not given all to you?!

Have I not given you all?

Yes sister.

Quiet.

I have no powers in the Dark Forest.

You have to find me someone.

Someone who knows it.

Someone who can hunt her.

You owe me money for my pocket,

and money for the girl.

I seem to have drunk it all, but you're

welcome to it when it comes out again.

You've gone too far, I want my money!

Here it is!

Queen demands your presence.

- Can't you see I'm having a bath?

My brother tells me you

are a widower, a drunkard.

And one of few who has

ventured into the Dark Forest.

One of my prisoners has escaped there.

- Then he's dead.

She.

- Then she is certainly dead.

Find her, bring her to me.

I've been to that forest, I'm not going back.

- You will be rewarded, handsomely.

What good is gold to me if I'm lying

dead with the crows picking at my eyes?

Why is she of such value?

- That is none of your concern.
