Gurgi not see piggy. Nope.

Oh, never mind.

No telling where

Hen Wen is by now.

Ooh, master, master.

Now Gurgi remembers! Yes, yes!

Clever, sharp-eyed Gurgi saw

the piggy run. [Imitates Hoof beats]

Yes, right through the forest!

Mm-hmm. I saw it! I saw it!

Come!

Gurgi will find the lost piggy.

Then we'll be friends

forever.

Munchings and crunchings

in here somewhere.

-[Distressed Squealing]

- It's Hen Wen! She's in trouble!

Good-bye.

Hen Wen!

Hen!

[Squealing Continues]

-[Flying Creatures Squawking]

- Hen Wen!

- [Hen Wen Squealing]

- [Roaring]

[Taran] Hen Wen, look out!

[Roars]

[Hen Wen Squealing]

[Taran] Look out!

[Continues Squealing]

Come on! Hurry, Hen!

No! Don't! Hen, hurry!

[Panicked Squealing]

Don't! No!

No! No!

[Roars]

No! Come back!

Please!

No! No! Come back!

[Grunts]

[Thunderclap]

[Hen Wen Squealing]

[Panting]

Hen Wen.

I must get her

out of there.

[Gurgi] Oh, no, great lord.

Not go in there.

Forget the piggy.

-What are you doing here ?

-Gurgi come back to be your friend.

''Friend'' ?

You're no friend!

Why, you ran away when I--

Oh, never mind.

I promised Dallben

I would keep Hen safe.

I have to go.

- [Thunder Rumbling]

-Well, uh, are you coming ?

Me ? Go in there ?

Oh, no, no, no.

It's a terrible place.

Justas I thought.

You're no friend.

You're just

a miserable coward.

Here. This is all

you wanted.

[Sniffs]

If great lord go

into evil castle,

poor Gurgi will never see

his friend again.

Nope. Never.

[Thunderclap]

[Snoring]

[Snoring Continues]

[Continues Snoring]

[Snarling, Barking]

[Snarling, Barking Continue]

[Henchman] Shut up,

you thick-skulled dolt.

Always barking at nothing.

-All right,

might as well make our rounds.

- [Growling]

[Door Creaking]

[Men Chattering]

[Chattering, Laughing]

Here's to everybody!

More wine and meat

for my men!

-And more women.

- [Screams]

Quiet. I'm trying to sleep.

[Laughing]

- [Henchmen Cheering, Hooting]

- How about a kiss, princess ?

Gad, youre a lovely one!

-Come on!

- Here.

Keep your hands off,

you little creeper.

Going somewhere,

Creeper?

[Henchmen Laughing]

Kiss me, love, and I'll die

with a smile on my face.

[Eerie Howling]

[Electrical Crackling]

[Gasps]

[Laughing]

Welcome, Your Majesty.

We're just celebrating

our success.

Oh, I mean your success.

We've made no mistakes,

this time.

[Laughing, Panting]

Bring in the prisoner!

[Taran Whispers] Oh, no.

[Laughing]

There, sire.

This is the pig that creates visions.

[Laughing]

All right, pig,

show His Majesty...

where the Black Cauldron

can be found!

Go on!

Show it!

[Laughing]

Stubborn little thing, isnt she?

[Gasping, Laughing]

Yes, sire. You're quite right.

I'll take care of it at once.

The Black Cauldron.

Where is it?

-Show us, swine!

- [Gasps]

I warn you.

The King's patience is short.

No!

[Banner Rips]

[Henchmen Chattering]

Get him! The sneaking, no-good--

Get back, or I'll--

[Mumbles, Grunts]

Oh.

- [Chuckling]

-[Creeper] Release him.

What?

Well, here.

Hen Wen.

Oh, Hen Wen.

There, there.

I presume, my boy,

you are the keeper

of this oracular pig.

[Stammering]

Yes, sir.

Then instruct her

to show me...

the whereabouts...

of the Black Cauldron.

Oh, sir, I-I-I can't.

I promised.

Very well.

In that case,

the pig is no use to me.

[Creeper Laughing]

- [Hen Wen Squealing]

-What are you going to do ?

No! You can't!

-Don't!

- [Squeals]

[Taran] No! Stop!

I'll make her tell you.

That's better.

Now, get on

with the vision, pig.

Hen Wen, from you,

I do beseech...

knowledge that lies

beyond my reach.

[Laughing] Look! Look, sire!

It's working!

[Horned King Sighs]

The Black Cauldron.

So it does exist.

Go on.

Yes, yes.

Where is it?

Show me.

Show me.

- [Screams]

- [Horned King Screaming]

-Come on, Hen!

- [Hissing]

After them!

Get them! After them!

- [Henchmen Shouting]

- [Chains Clanking]

[Squawking, Gasping]

- [Creeper Laughing]

- [Butcher Grunts]

- [Taran Gasps]

-Gotcha, pig boy!

[Screaming]

[Henchmen Shouting]

The moat.

It's our only chance.

[Grunting]

Come on, Hen.

-[Henchmen Shouting]

- [Taran Grunting]

- [Squeals]

-[Taran] Swim, Hen! Swim!

- I'm coming! [Gasps]

- [Creeper Laughing]

Gotcha, pig boy!

I caught him, Your Majesty!

I caught the boy.

But you let the pig go,

didnt you ?

It wasn't my fault.

[Laughs]

[Gasping]

Throw the boy into the dungeon!

[Henchmen Chuckling]

[Door Slams]

[Dallben's Voice] You must make sure

he never uses Hen Wen...

to find the Black Cauldron.

[Taran's Voice] I won't

fail you, Dallben.

Look at me, Hen!

I can do it!

[Echoing]

I can do it!

[Crying]

I can do it. I can do it.

[Continues Crying]

[Stone Moving]

[Taran Gasps]

Hmm, I thought

I heard a noise in here.

Oh! Was that you ?

-Yeah. Yes.

- You're being held

a prisoner, arent you?

-Yes.

-I'm being held against my will too.

[Gasps]

It lights up.

[Girl Giggles] Of course.

It's magic.

Oh, I hate this place.

I do hope

there arent any rats in here.

Not that I really mind them,

you know,

but they do jump out

atone so.

I'm Princess Eilonwy.

Are you a lord or a warrior?

No.

I'm an assistant pig keeper.

Oh, what a pity.

I was so hoping for someone

who could help me escape.

Oh, well, if you want

to come with me, you may.

-Can I ?

-Yes. I said you could.

Oh, that wicked,

wicked king.

You know he stole me. He thought

my bauble could tell him...

where some

old cauldron was.

That's what

he wanted my pig for.

[Eilonwy] Oh, yes. Your pig.

But my pig

can tell the future.

Ooh, how interesting.

[Giggles]

Well, youd better stay close

to me, or youll get lost.

[Rats Screeching]

[Hissing]

-Your bauble.

- It's always chasing those rats.

[Eilonwy Gasps] A burial chamber.

This could be the tomb of the great king

who built this castle...

before the Horned King

took it over.

[Gasping, Groaning]

[Coughing]

Are you all right?

[Sighs]

Well, come on, then.

Help me look around.

[Taran] He must have been

a great warrior.

[Gasps]

A sword.

[Gasps]

[Cart Approaching]

[Creeper Chuckling]

This will please him.

It's a good lot this time.

Hurry! In with it!

Finally,

he'll reward me for this.

[Chuckling, Grunting]

- [Panting]

- Don't stop, you weakling!

Put some muscle into it.

[Panting, Grunting]

Let's get out of here

before they come back.

[Gasps]

Where did you get that sword ?

- Back there.

-You mean--

Well, he's not going to use it.

[Sighs]

[Dog Barking]

[Man] You're making a horrendous

mistake. I'm not a spy.

I'm a bard.

I-I-I sing.

-I-I-I entertain. I-I--

-[Barking Continues]

Careful, sir.

These are the hands of an artist.

- [Groaning]

-This will hold you.

Look, you seem an intelligent

sort of chap to me. Eh ?

[Chuckles] I assure you, I had

no idea who owned this castle.

- I just happened to be passing.

- [Growling]

He's nice, isn't he ?

What's his name ? [Whistles]

- [Ferocious Barking]

- [Screams, Stammering]
