The Huntsman Winter's War Page #5

---

Adorable.

Bring me the Mirror.

You'll have to

kill me first!

No, I won't.

NION:
Doreena, no!

You knew, didn't you?

You knew she'd betray you

and you spared her still.

Have you learnt

my lesson at last?

Harden your heart,

Queen of Winter.

Bury the world

in a tomb of ice.

It matters not.

Love will endure.

Yes, perhaps

you're right.

Shall we find out?

(IN SOFT VOICE) Kill him.

Is he dead?

I think so.

What do we do?

Pull it out.

Go on.

One, two...

Quickly!

(GRUNTS)

(BOTH SCREAMING)

Bloody hell, that hurt.

I don't believe it!

She missed!

She never misses.

MRS. BROMWYN:

Have you lost your mind?

She betrayed us.

Eric, she is not Cupid.

I doubt that

an arrow to the chest

is an expression of her love.

No,no,no.

There is a grand design

at work here, friends.

And it grows even louder.

Head injury.

Number eight.

She never misses.

Look, lam twice

as angry as you are.

Doreena was the only friend

I had in this world,

but you need to face facts.

Sara is not on your side.

I don't need you to

believe what I believe.

What are these for, exactly?

I'll give you a hint.

We're not gonna

carry them on our backs.

(CHUCKLING)

So, what are you gonna do?

Trek all the way

to the frozen North?

Face down an evil sorceress

and her entire army?

Aye.

All right, I'm in!

Tull, put the dwarves

in the gallery and bring

the Mirror to my sanctum.

Welcome home, Sara.

RAVE N NA:
Freya.

Come to me.

Say the words.

Speak the words.

FREYA:
"The age can be wicked

"to those who walk alone.

"When I look into the Mirror,

"I see myself

as I might become."

RAVE N NA:
Yes.

Yes.

Mirror, Mirror on the wall,

who is the fairest

of them all?

(RUMBLING)

Do not back away from me.

You asked a question.

The Mirror has answered.

Ravenna, how?

Are you not dead?

Yes.

No.

Something in between.

You've become

quite literal, Freya.

Of all people,

you should know

that is but a vessel.

I left my body.

I went into the Mirror.

And there I stayed.

I became part of it.

Trapped.

Until you released me.

We have much to do,

little sister.

With you and your

army by my side,

I will regain

my kingdom once more.

Snow White

shall kneel before me.

(CLINKING)

She will beg for mercy.

And then I'll tear

her heart out.

MRS. BROMWYN:

Oh, that's a bit

bigger than I imagined.

GRYFF:

So what's the plan?

You have got a plan?

Aye.

Is it any good?

No.

But it's simple.

Freya will be

in her sanctum,

below the steeple.

I'll make my way

down from the top,

find her, and kill her.

What about

Nion and Doreena?

I've got someone

on the inside who's gonna

help me find them.

Who?

You.

You have given

my Huntsmen new orders.

Better orders.

We will attack tomorrow

in two waves.

Flanking maneuver.

I presumed

you would agree.

It's a far

superior tactic.

This is my kingdom.

Did you say something?

This is my kingdom!

Of course it is.

And it always will be.

I would never question

my sister's rule.

But beyond these walls

is my kingdom.

My dominion.

Do not forget

what you owe me.

I made you

what you are.

MAN:
Come on.

Move along. Faster.

Follow your brother.

Look lively now.

You as well. Go on.

Shut it.

Stop sniveling. Twerp.

MRS. BROMWYN:

Keep walking.

Just keep walking.

It's not my sister's fault,

my lord.

She was hit in the face

as a baby with a rock.

You two,

come with me.

(GRUNTING)

Did you have to

hit him so hard?

Shut up.

(GRUNTING)

He's very heavy.

Right.

We stuff him in here,

we cover our tracks.

That's very sloppy

work, that is.

(GRUNTING)

(EXHALING)

(GRUNTING)

(GROANS)

(PANTING)

(LAUGHING)

This is the worst plan ever.

(GRUNTS)

PIPPA:
Stop.

You don't remember me,

do you?

No.

This is my war face.

Pippa.

I know why you're here.

Aim true.

My children.

This is the day for which...

For which you were born.

You will face an army of men

who have never lost a war,

men who have...

Who have forgotten...

(CLEARS THROAT)

...what it means

to be afraid.

We will bring fear

once again

to Snow White's army.

And their lands will be mine.

And their children...

(WHISPERS)

Their children...

For I am queen.

(IN LOUD VOICE)

lam queen.

This is what

I trained you for.

This is why I raised you.

This is why I made

you what you are.

Hello, Eric.

(EXHALES)

I've missed you.

(GRUNTS)

Guard!

Why?

RAVE N NA:
Why?

They're in love.

(WHISPERS)

They reek of it.

Is this not

your kingdom?

It is.

Do you not have laws?

I do.

Then what

is your judgment?

Death.

RAVENNA:
Mmm.

LEIFR:
Traitors!

ERIC:
Traitors to who?

Your old queen?

Your new queen?

You broke the law.

The law?

Have you forgotten

the ones who loved you?

Your mothers,

your fathers.

What law did they break?

Love does not

make you weak.

It's all that ever

gave me strength.

Tull, have we not

fought side by side?

We were children!

Brothers and sisters.

Did we not love each other?

Fight with me.

If you die,

you die for something

that's yours.

Why do you

turn away, Freya?

You deceived us,

and now you

deceive yourself.

Silence.

Why did you not

kill us back then?

Instead, you break my heart

and turn hers against me.

(GRUNTS)

Pretty.

You see, Huntsman,

love doesn't

save your life.

I should know.

I've been dead before.

(LAUGHING)

(GRUNTING)

(PANTING)

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Stand or fall.

Together.

(TULL GRUNTS)

I stand with you.

MAN:
Aye.

MEN:
Aye.

Don't.

Stand back.

Nothing can save you,

Huntsman.

All that's left is pain!

(ALL GRUNTING)

Ravenna, stop. Stop!

Enough!

We can't leave the Mirror.

Then we climb.

I thought I had driven

the weakness out of you.

I thought

I made you strong.

But you're as pathetic

as you ever were.

(GRUNTING)

Have you lost your mind?

How did you

make me strong?

How did you draw

the weakness out?

What did you do?

What did you do?

I don't have to

tell you anything.

Oh. Oh, but you do.

You see,

you said it yourself,

you're something between

this world and the Mirror.

I summoned you out.

Now you are bound to me!

(GASPS)

Tell me the truth.

Mirror,

Mirror on the wall...

...who is the fairest

of them all?

You are, my queen.

But not for long.

Your sister holds

a baby to her breast.

A daughter.

She will grow

to be more beautiful

than even you.

You cannot ask

such a thing of me.

I ask nothing.

I am but a reflection.

And you...

You have already decided.

RAVENNA:
Kill.

Kill.

Kill for me.

(SOBBING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Yeah, I loved her.

I loved you.

That's why

I'm stronger than you.

(GRUNTS)

(ALL SCREAMING)

(GRUNTING)

Leave my children alone!

(GROANS)

(GROANS)

(GROANS)

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry

I killed your daughter

and released

the greatest

power within you.

A power you have

wasted on nothing

but cheap sentiment!

(GRUNTS)

Did you not think

I wanted a child?

Did you not think

I wanted love?

But these things

were not meant for me.

I have a higher calling!

Do you still believe
