Snow White and the Huntsman Page #3

Beith, sounds like trouble.

You'll find your weight in

gold if you cut us down now!

- Shut up princess.

- Queen's riders!

And they're coming this way!

- We'll take her, but not him.

- What?

- Take both of us. - Cut them both down Gort.

Let's get the hell out of here.

They are close.

Blasted fairy music.

Here, good thing there's

plenty of moss about.

Where are we?

They call it Sanctuary milady.

It's the home of the fairies.

Fairies.

- Clear.

- No.

Clear!

Set up camp. Gus, Quert take the fire.

Gort, your mug.

Play louder I can still

'ear them harpy fairies.

Would you really have killed her?

Yeah, of course.

That seat is not taken, if

that's what you were about to ask.

- I want to thank you.

- It's only a log.

- There's no need to thank me.

- No, for before.

- For defending me.

- Your father was a good man,

the kingdom prospered,

our people prospered.

- There were more of you?

- Aye. - Yes.

The men you see before you,

and many men more.

Went deep into the caves,

we were noble gold miners.

Because we could have seen

the light in the darkness.

Gus.

You were just a boy, but you remember.

When we returned to the surface.

There was nothing. The land was

blackened, everything, everyone was gone.

Dead.

That was the month your father died.

- I'm very sorry.

- As am I princess, as am I.

Son, play a happy song.

I know I'm a bit cheeky, but...

- Would you care for a dance?

- I'd be honored Gus.

I don't trust her, and I don't

believe her, no matter what Muir says.

- I've felt peculiar, queer almost.

- What? Since when?

I'm not tingling all over, but

I feel lovely. I feel lovely.

- How's your gout?

- Gout?

- Better.

- And my cough.

This is her doing.

- How much have you had to drink?

- No, it's the mushrooms.

Send the log downstream.

- I thought you said you'll let bygones

be bygones. - Not yet, nut-hook.

What's in it for you?

- What are you talking about?

- I'm talking about the girl.

Is it really just the gold?

I'm not sure Beith.

If I had any sense I'd

have abandoned her long ago.

Muir said she's destined.

Question is Huntsman, for what.

Get up.

- Who's that, father?

- I know son, I know.

It's him.

No Huntsman, no one's

ever seen this before.

White Heart bows before

the princess, father.

- He's blessing her.

- What are you talking about?

You have eyes Huntsman, but you do not

see. You have been with her the longest.

She is life itself.

She will heal the land. She is the one.

Can't you feel it? Are

your illness not gone?

Gold or no gold, where

she leads, I follow.

- Aye. - I'm with you.

- Yes father.

Take him!

Go with her!

- Stay with me!

- You wait for me!

- You first.

- No.

Go! That way!

No it's me! It's William!

I admire your fight Huntsman.

- Your wife was the same.

- What do you mean, my wife?

I remember them all.

Especially the ones that fight.

She screamed your name.

But you weren't there.

Now, you can beg her forgiveness

in the other world.

Sister, heal me.

Forgive me, brother.

I feel...

Arrow!

Gus breathe, just breathe.

I won't leave you miss.

We used to have pride.

And now we just pilfer, drink

and dream about when we didn't.

Every man here would die for the

chance of becoming that man again.

So we follow you princess,

in life and in death,

and we shall have our pride again.

On Gus's sword, this I swear.

I'm sorry I left you.

You didn't.

If I had thought you were alive...

I would have come for you.

We were children William.

You are here now.

William.

It's as if nothings changed here.

The world seems beautiful again.

It will be, when you are queen.

The people of this kingdom

hate Ravenna with every fiber.

I used to hate her.

But now I feel only sorrow.

Once people find out you're alive,

they'll rise up in your name.

It takes more than a name.

You are your fathers

daughter, the rightful heir.

If I had a choice,

I'd take you far away.

Keep you safe by my side.

But I have a duty, so do you.

How do I inspire?

How will I lead men?

The way you led me

when we were children.

I followed you everywhere.

Ran when you called.

I would have done anything for you.

That's not how I remember it.

- No?

- No.

We used to fight, all the time.

And argue.

- Remember that trick?

- What trick?

You see child?

Love always betrays us.

Wake up.

By fairest blood it was done.

And only by fairest

blood can it be undone.

You were the only one who could

break the spell and destroy me.

And the only one, pure enough,

to save me.

You don't even realise how lucky you are

never to know what it is to grow old.

No...

What are you looking at? Do something.

Aren't you dwarves healers?

Save her, help her!

No, this cannot be.

What do we do Beith?

What we promised.

And here you are.

All dressed up like you're about to wake

up and give me more grief, am I right?

You deserved better.

I once had a wife, princess.

Sarah was here name.

When I came back from

the wars I carried with me

the stench of death

and anger of the lost.

I wasn't worth saving, that's

for sure, but she did so anyway.

And I loved her so much.

I loved her more than

anyone, anything, and I...

I let her out of my

sight and she was gone.

When I became myself again,

as if I never cared for.

Until you.

Because you remind me of her.

Her heart, her spirit.

But now you too have gone.

You both deserved better, and

I'm so sorry I failed you.

I'm so sorry.

But you'll be a queen in Heaven

now, and sit among the angels.

She died for us! For our cause!

We cannot just hide behind these

walls and watch this land die with her!

Your grief clouds your judgment, my son.

My grief makes me see clearer, father.

My duty is to protect those

people who come to me for help.

I will defend them to

the last drop of my blood.

I will not abandon these walls.

The spell has lifted.

- Death has favored you.

- Death favors no man.

We must ride, like thundering waves

under battle flag of my father.

You must rest.

We have rested long enough.

Frost to fire, fire to frost.

Iron will melt.

But it will writhe inside of itself.

All these years, all

I've known is darkness.

But I have never seen a brighter

light than when my eyes just opened.

And I know that light

burns in all of you!

Those embers must turn to flame.

Iron into sword.

I will become your weapon!

Forged by the fierce fire

that I know is in your hearts!

For I have seen what she sees.

I know what she knows.

I can kill her.

And I'd rather die today,

than live another day of this death!

And who will ride with me?!

Who will be my brother?!

Farewell princess.

- Where are they?

- Amassed on the cliffs.

Their numbers are swollen.

They say that the king's

standard flies again.

Then let them come, let them break

their skulls on these stone walls.

And bring me my prize.

My Lord, we only have a few

hours before the tide comes on.

Not long enough to

breach the castle walls.

- Is there no other way in?
