The Brothers Grimm Page #5

All right? We'll bring them back.

Bring back her sisters?

Bring them back?

Bring them back with what?

Magic beans?

- Why do you say that?

- Magic beans don't work!

They don't bring people back to life.

They did not then and they will not now.

You go wait by the horses.

Jacob, wait by the horses.

- Sorry.

- He was doing what he thinks is right, Will.

He was trying to help.

- We can not fight the entire forest.

- You're just scared.

Just scared?

I'm terrified.

You should be too.

Don't you understand? The idea of going

back in there - nothing makes sense there.

It's like being inside Jake's head.

God, I hate him.

He makes me...

He drives me mad.

He makes you feel weak, doesn't he?

Yeah. He always has done.

The thing is, I can't...

Protect him.

My father thought

he could protect his family too, Will.

(clears throat)

Pah!

Jake. Jacob, come back.

Jake!

Come back, Jake!

You're a fool!

Now do you see?

I made that armor.

It's not magic, it's just shiny.

Oh, no!

This lovely Frulein

will not be coming with you, caro storyboy.

She will be staying here with me.

It's all right, Will.

Just go. Go.

(Jake) What's this?

It's a mess, that's what it is.

It was hardly a snap, was it?

- More tension in the snap board.

- (Bunst moans)

- We need the trunks here now.

- What do you suppose I'm doing?

And this is the last time I'll ask you,

is the chuck basket secure?

- Yes, it's secure.

- It's secure.

Cor!

So, if we find these 11 girls,

we don't get guillotined.

Can you believe, these bumpkins actually

think they were devoured by the forest?

- (Bunst chuckles)

- (creaking)

And what exactly do we think?

(snapping and strange noises)

- (Jake) All right. Positions, lads.

- Jake?

- (Jake) Check for takeoff.

- Jake!

- (Jake) Right, you ready? Steady it.

- Jake!

(Jake) And three, two, one. Takeoff.

- Woo-hoo!

- No!

Gargh! Oh!

Jake? Jake?

Jake?

Jacob?

(Jake) Dammit. Every time.

We need more height. And can we check

the alignment? The alignment is crucial.

Stop this now, Jacob.

You're going to kill yourself.

Oh, good. That's just great,

because then it will just be you, Will,

and you can have anything

and everything that you want.

What is it exactly you do want, Will, huh?

What? Is it Angelika?

You want her?

Fine. Take her, she's yours.

Is it the money? Take that. That's all you

seem to do these days, is take and take.

Jacob Grimm, you petulant child!

Argh! Oh!

- Ow!

- (creaking)

What was that? Something moved.

I saw something move. Did you?

D- d-d-don't ask.

Please don't ask me to look.

All my life I've studied these folk tales, Will,

and now I find one that's for real.

It's not beans.

It's real.

I mean, don't you understand?

I have to do this.

Ow! Agh!

All right, Jake.

What do you want me to do?

What? Honestly?

You're my brother.

I want you to believe in me.

I need you to help me.

All right, lads. Let's launch me off

into the flaming belly of hell.

Wait. I think you're overcomplicating it.

- What?

- A catapult's not gonna work.

Yeah, you're right.

- What other gear do we have?

- Uh...

- Huh!

- Well, there's the...

What about the flying-witch rig, with

a grapple and a hook to catch the window?

- Yeah.

- Good idea.

We haven't got a hook and grapple.

They'll have hooks at the village.

We'll ride like the wind.

- Will, we've got the hooks, right?

- We'll be no time at all.

No, I've got it.

Huh!

Oh, great!

This is suicide.

Probably.

(man) Bring some water, Sasha.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

(strange voice) Sasha.

Sasha.

(caws)

The great Cavaldi.

Children in danger

and here he is, hiding out.

Scusa.

Ah, poor birdie.

(screeches)

(screams)

- (child screaming)

- Huh?

(screams)

What is ha..?

- Cavaldi.

- Huh?

Sasha!

Sasha, run to my voice.

Sasha, this way.

Got you.

Cavaldi.

Get inside.

It will be fine.

I...

I do believe I've soiled myself.

Oh, good.

I thought it was me.

Hm. I taste good.

Sasha!

Can't catch me,

I'm the gingerbread man. Ha ha!

- Sasha!

- Sasha!

And one...

We're doing fine, Will.

(Jake) That's good. Steady.

Will! Come on,

keep it together down there.

We're almost there.

Put some muscle into it.

Life without Jake.

Will, concentrate.

Only a matter of seconds now.

That's good, Will.

Keep going.

(sighs)

Hah! Oh!

Oh.

Where was I? Oh, yes.

Settling down.

Honest labor.

Crypts. There's, uh...

One, two, three, four.

Five, six.

Seven, eight. Nine, ten.

Eleven, twelve.

Uh... Will!

Will, it's strange,

there's twelve crypts.

And they're evenly spaced in a circle.

Yeah, it's like a clock face.

Easy. Easy.

All right, Will.

I'm going in, Will.

He's going in.

That was lucky.

It's...

What's this? It's a crown.

It's a...

Oh!

It's a book of spells.

(snap)

(rustling)

(noises and rustling)

Jake?

It's a book of spells. Huh.

That's the blood moon.

Twelve crypts.

Eleven girls.

I'm new at this, darling.

If I'm doing it wrong or if there's a certain

way you like it, Grandmother Toad...

I'll just try to be gentle.

Now show me

the way back to Angelika's house.

(toad croaks)

Make up your mind.

(gasps)

Sasha?

(growling)

(howls)

For you, my queen.

Oh!

(man) Sleep.

Sleep.

(softly) Jake.

Oh.

Huh!

(chokes)

Ha! Will!

Jacob.

What? Huh!

(croakily) Jacob.

Look at me, Jacob.

Look at me, Jacob.

Am I still the fairest of them all?

Tell me I am the fairest of them all.

Jacob.

And I will make

your dreams come true.

I've got you, Sasha.

What do you desire, Jacob?

Fame?

Power?

Angelika?

You love her,

not him.

He doesn't love her.

Not like you, Jacob.

Jake!

Jake!

- Argh!

- Oh!

Jacob Grimm, you bedwetting piss bucket!

Ha ha!

Look at me, Jacob.

- No, no. Don't look at her.

- (cries)

(croakily) Jacob. Jacob.

Look at me, Jacob. Jacob!

(cries)

Rapunzel!

(screams)

Good timing. Nice disguise.

She's still there, Will.

She's still alive. She's up in the tower.

- For 500 years?

- Yeah, but they haven't been kind.

- Grab the ax.

- Huh? Right.

They tricked her, Will.

They tricked her.

Because she has the spell for eternal life,

but not for youth, not youth.

So she'll rot for eternity, waiting for

someone to come and rescue her.

- Come on.

- Was that Sasha?

- It's this way, Will.

- No, no, it's not.

- It's that way. Grandmother Toad told me.

- What?

Trust the toad!

Come on!

Stand aside, Will.

It's the ax, Will.

It's enchanted as well.

Stop them!

Jacob!

To the horses. Run!

(Queen) Stop them!

Sasha!

Sasha! Sasha.

She's not breathing.

- How can she not be breathing?

- It's impossible. I saw her walk.

There's no breath.

No pulse.

- Sasha.

- Cursed forever!

They shall all perish

beneath the blood moon.

The drawings. The spells.

(crone) The blood moon comes tonight.

(laughs)

It has to do with the eclipse.

It has to do with the eclipse.

Listen to me.

We know why your forest is enchanted.

It's under the power of

the Thuringian queen.
