Original subtitles

First my mother and now your father.

They've both come back to us.

Yes.

I have so few memories.

Just flashes, really.

Catch and Fire is just a king and a young prince

kind of thing.

But I clearly remember, he loved me.

I'm so sorry I missed Derek and Odette's coronation.

After all these years,

a new king and queen in Chamberg.

Does King Derek know?

No. He knows nothing.

What don't I know?

Oh, dear.

Derek, your father was accused...

of trying to make a deal with pirates.

Against the will of the Council of Crowns.

Many believed it nearly destroyed the Council.

I'm sorry I never told you, Derek.

I thought Max deserved to be remembered

as the great father and king he was.

I don't believe it.

Let it rest, Derek.

It's too painful.

Mother, do you really believe

that Father was making a deal with pirates?

No, but-- Rogers, do you believe it?

No, I do not.

Then tomorrow, when I go to take Father's seat

on the Council of Crowns,

we'll start getting some answers.

Someone in that fortress knows the truth about my father.

When I was a child, our groundskeeper would say:

"It only takes a little smoke to drive a gopher out of its hole."

Smoke them out. Right.

Can you believe it wasn't too long ago

when your mother and father were doing this same thing?

Yes.

Did I ever tell you about the speech my mother gave?

No. It was classic.

You apply the smoke,

I'll keep my eye on their reactions.

King Derek and Queen Odette of Chamberg.

Welcome to the Council of Crowns.

Come, please.

Today, King Derek, as the new sovereign of Chamberg,

I invite you to address the Council.

Thank you, King Ivan. I'll be brief.

Oh, you mean, he's not going to invite his wife to speak?

Right. "Save the dogs."

Oh, dear.

I'm honored to be with you in this historic room,

just as my honest father was.

Most of you remember him as I do,

a great and loyal man.

I think he would want me to help restore our image as a council

in which everyone is treated fairly

and no one is falsely accused.

Our image needs no restoring.

And we have never falsely accused anyone,

especially not your double-dealing father.

King Edgar, we will not speak badly of King Maximillian.

I can't tell you how pleased I am

to have Chamberg represented on the Council again.

It is my great honor.

We have something in common, King Derek.

My mother, like your father, was chair of the Council.

You'll find paintings of all the past chairs of the Council

throughout the fortress.

And my father's portrait?

Your father, famously, would never sit for a portrait.

Oh, but we have one now.

We could loan it to you.

You don't say.

Well, I'll certainly bring that up to the Council.

I think we saw a couple of gophers

pop out of their holes today.

Your groundskeeper was a wise man.

Oh!

Are you all right?

Just think if that wheel came off when we were down there.

It never would have.

Someone loosened it so it would come off right away.

Just to send us a message.

Message?

"Don't even think about

investigating your father's death."

Maybe we used a little too much smoke.

Well, they're about to get more 'cause we're not going home.

My, aren't you a mysterious couple.

Oh, why, thank you. Ha, ha.

Do you have a room available?

I believe I do.

Wait! Let me guess.

Room number nine?

Who are you people?

Barrymore and Barrymore.

Traveling magicians.

Never again will I see some--

Hey, Francine.

Guess who's staying at my hotel!

No, no, no. No one can know we're here.

Why? Because while we're here,

we'll be working on magic,

the kind never seen before.

You don't say.

Tell me more.

There are people out there

who are constantly trying to steal our secrets.

Who are they? Spies? Aliens?

The only question that matters right now is:

Can you promise to keep our visit a secret?

Shh.

Hey, Francine, never mind!

Just a couple of nobodies from nowhere.

We did it. She really believed us.

Not bad for a couple of nobodies from nowhere.

What do you say we drop this king and queen thing

and do magic full-time?

Sure.

What girl wouldn't want

to spend the rest of her life getting sawed in half?

We'd better get to work.

♪ World-famous magicians Right here in my hotel ♪

Are you spying on me?

Well, there's no need. I--

Hey, Gundi, what's the gossip?

I'm very aware that I made a promise not to--

Not to say a word.

You can't talk?

Laryngitis?

Sounds like...

Okay. Uh-- Sleep?

No, no, rest.

Sounds like "rest."

Guest! You have a guest.

Dearie, I can barely see you.

A cat burglar.

Your guest is a ghost.

Wh-what does that mean?

The Phantom.

What am I thinking?

I can tell people the way I usually do

and still keep my promise.

I'm thinking him...

'cause this and that.

But how would you explain that?

And this?

Hm.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

If we're wrong, we're accusing

the most powerful people in the world.

And if we're right...

We're accusing the most powerful people in the world.

We need help.

Mmm... Perhaps a tad bigger.

Yes, that's very--

Wow. Aah!

That's a bit on the beefy side, wouldn't you say?

I'd say it's quite accurate.

Really? What, you been looking

in one of those funhouse mirrors?

It's a regular mirror.

What are you, an art critic now?

Or have you come here for a reason?

Oh, jeez! Derek and Odette sent me.

They need your help.

Well, why didn't you say so?

Well, I was gonna, but then all the muscles threw me.

Why? I've looked like this my whole life.

No, no, no, I was talking about the--

Whoa...

Never mind.

I don't keep any money in my booth.

No, no, no, we're not robbers.

Just entertainers.

Magicians.

Oh. Whew!

We're working on a new fantastical show

about how King Maximillian mysteriously disappeared.

But we'd like to say our show is inspired by real events.

So were you here during King Maximillian's time?

No. That would have been Clem Fleming.

"Old Clem," they called him. Got fired.

Something about not reporting something he saw.

I don't know.

He lives out Periwinkle way now.

Kind of a hermit-y fellow.

All broken-hearted. Poor guy.

It's them, the Barrymores!

We love you! What?

Please do some magic for us.

You're the greatest.

No magic today, ladies. So sorry.

Welcome to Crispin's Accounting,

taking care of all your accounting needs.

Is it no longer customary to stand for a king?

Apologies, Highness.

Sit.

You sit?

You stand?

How dare you?

Go ahead, spin.

Now bark like a dog.

Ruff.

Well, I think we've established the power of a king.

I understand you are a collector of blades.

Hm...

Light.

It's fast.

But such a small blade.

A rapier, Highness. Heh.

Primarily for thrusting.

Nah.

I need blades.

'Tis a two-handed longsword, Highness.

I know that.

Ah...

A short sword.

It's a dagger.

Sorry. Yes, a dagger.

Why didn't I think of that?

It sends the perfect message.

Sit.

How do so many people know about us?

"Gunderman's Gossip.

The Barrymores are here."

So much for keeping our secret.

Trouble at 12 o'clock.

What?

You must be Barrymore and Barrymore.

So sorry, no time for autographs.

No, no, I don't need your autograph.

I'm a king.

But I do have a question only you can answer.

Oh, uh...

Well, okay.

Let's say someone wanted to make something disappear

so no one would ask any questions about it.

How would one go about that?

Look! There they are.

Oh, you mean something like this.

Yes. Exactly. Magic.

Like that. We love you, Barrymores!

Hello?

Hello?

Yes, madam, thank you very much. In what room will I find...

the Barrymores?

Wouldn't you like to know.

I know you've come to steal their secrets.

Madam, I am their manager, A.J. Pennypacker.

And I am here on urgent business.

Their room number, please.

Make it worth my while.

You give me something about the Barrymores...

...and I'll give you the room number.

Oh, all right. Uh...

He wears a size ten shoe, and she's a six.

Six and a half, depending on the style.

You need to do better than that.

What are they like?

Are they rich? Do they fight?

Yes, okay, they fight like monkeys. Room number?

What do they fight about?

I-I don't know.

He's a flirt, and she has a gambling problem.

He's a thief.

She has a wooden leg.

He wears a toupee.

Room number?

You told!

Well, I-I didn't say what room you were in.

Not even your manager could drag it out of me.

Hm... Your hair looks real to me.

Are you completely bald?

And is it horses you gamble on?

I-- I see. Well, in fact, uh... Hm?

Hey, Francine.

I'm not bald, and my wife doesn't gamble.

Thanks for nothing.

Rogers, I hope you brought all your fancy spy gear.

I have brought something even better.

You carry your dogs in a suitcase?

No, those are my mother's stuffed animals.

Made in the likeness of her award-winning pooches.

This, That, and The Other.

In reality, they are undercover spies.

Speed, Puffin, and Jean-Bob.

I've never been so humiliated.

No one will suspect dogs of spying.

You know who else they'd never suspect? A frog!

But if they see you, you'll get smacked with a broom

and thrown out the window.

Good point.

Thanks for coming to help, fellas.

Okay, our first line of inquiry,

Clem Fleming, the old harbormaster.

We have a feeling he saw something that night. Now--

Oh, a clean house is a happy house.

Oh! Eavesdropper!

So Clem lives somewhere in the woods outside of Periwinkle.

I'm on it!

All clear.

A flying dog?

Well, even the best plans have a little wrinkle.

Forgot your pillow chocolates. Why, thank you.

She is going to be trouble.

Okay, Speed and Jean-Bob,

find a way to get inside King Edgar's house.

He clearly has something he's trying to hide.

It's probably a bad rash.

It's way more serious than that.

Oh, a bald spot, then.

How could the Council be so sure

my father wanted to negotiate with pirates?

Rogers, you were there at the time, right?

Yes, but all I remember is the grief we all felt.

There must have been some reason they thought that.

Yes, there must have been.

Yes, yes, there was something.

William and Ivan came to tell Uberta the sad news.

He said, "I've known many a good king,

but Max was the best of them all."

And then there was talk of-of Max's reputation, of a--

Of a tarnish.

To tarnish Max's image

for one misstep benefits no one.

Tarnish? How?

Did they overhear him say something?

See him do something?

Think, Rogers. Maybe there was--

His journal!

Journal?

They said they found his journal. Proof!

And they swore that no one would ever see it.

Where would you hide a journal?

Oh, I think I know.

Okay, there's a room at the Council, a secure room.

Yes, I saw it too.

Locked doors have never really given me a problem,

but for this, I'll need some living hands with me.

I'd be honored, Scully.

Derek and Odette, we'll take care of this.

You stay safe right here.

King Derek and Queen Odette

as magicians?

This story almost writes itself.

I would like to pay you to do a painting for me.

Actually, we would like a painting for us.

As king, it would be nice

if I could at least say a few words.

Here's a few you can say right now:

"My wife will do the talking."

Heh. I will allow my wife to do the talking.

I want you to capture the moment of my triumph over Queen Uberta,

when I destroyed her perfectly planned coronation

for Derek and Odette.

Oh, boy! You should have seen it.

Okay, you know what?

No more words for you!

Sound effects only!

But-- But I-- Uh-uh-uh-uh!

Sound effects only.

Click.

It must include my dogs spoiling her glorious music.

The falling of the banners.

The collapse of the orchestra shell!

The ill-timed explosion of the fireworks!

Enough!

I'll do it.

You sure this is it?

Pretty sure.

Time to get inside.

Hey, limping and whining was my plan!

Sounds more like mooing.

People don't take in injured cows, you know.

You got something better?

I've been whining all my life.

Looks like a lady's interested.

I told you. Is she coming to get me?

Yep.

Shoo!

Speed! Help! Speed!

Are you the one I heard whining?

Aw. Come with Queen Venice.

He's as slow as a turtle. The poor thing.

Ugh. Just keep him out of my office.

You want a pork chop?

Not really. But okay.

"Be ready, my friend.

A merchant ship,

heavy with riches,

will pass in two days."

Venice! Come get your turtle-dog!

A flying dog?

Oh. Hello, Clem.

Whoa.

Oh...

I can see that might be alarming.

Ah, there you go, Clem.

A nice cup of tea for you.

I thought you were a flying dog.

Nothing of the sort.

Just a seabird in a dog costume

who's come to talk to you like a man.

Well, that's pretty weird too.

Oh, stay with me, Clem.

Whoa.

Speed. I found the proof.

We need the letter he's sleeping on.

And by "we," you mean "me." Uh-uh.

Yeah, you're right.

That desk is too high for you.

Seriously?

Oh-ho-ho.

Guess I was wrong.

Since you're there, get the letter.

No way, Mr. Tricky Turtle.

Never mind.

It's too hard for you.

Oh, really? Watch me.

I'm gonna throw you overboard.

You'll be fish food.

He's just dreaming.

Seems pretty real to me.

Good job, Jean-Bob.

Jump down. Let's go.

Oh. Are you sure I can do it?

I feel like I got blamed for the death of King Max.

They banished me to this forest for not doing my job.

How did you miss Max's ship leaving the harbor?

That's the curious thing.

I saw fire and left my post to help.

Turned out it was just an alley fire, set on purpose.

Just as I got back, I saw Max's ship sailing out.

The Council, especially King Edgar,

said I was just making up excuses.

Well, you've been very helpful.

Whoa.

Oh, well, I'm almost offended.

They should have made that table a little longer.

"Taking a break from inventory to use the castle lavatory"?

Heh-heh. Now, that's cute. Yeah.

Click.

You start there. I'll start here.

It's not here.

Are you sure? I'll check again.

Nope, not here.

Maybe they destroyed it after all.

Who are you?

I'm the new guy. I-I don't know anything.

You'll have to come back.

Look, new guy, Queen Sophia doesn't have time to wait.

She wants the Bradley documents now.

Your patience would be appreciated.

I don't work at lightning speed.

I can't be pushed like this!

Check the inventory log!

Inventory log.

Ah.

"Agreements. Bylaws. Financial.

Journals.

Lawrence. Lucius. Luther. Mary.

King Maximillian."

What, no location? Nothing?

That doesn't mean it's not here.

I'm working on it! Please!

Get inside these walls.

Scully.

Something's there, all right.

His journal.

"I believe with all my soul

that I can help the pirates see reason.

I cannot wait for the Council or risk them saying no."

No. He negotiated with pirates?

No. No! He didn't! Look.

It's a forgery!

I know Max's hand like my own.

He never made these little flares on his F's.

Scully, Bradley documents, please.

Found them.

Please don't mark the pages.

They're due back on the 19th.

Late fees apply.

These curly F's are the key, Scully.

But finding the foul forger won't be easy.

We must search everywhere for a match.

Every posted notice, every menu, every--

Tavern sign? Yes, of course.

Every jot, every scribble, every--

Tavern sign.

Yes, Scully, every tavern sign.

Every-- Scully! Look there!

Curly F's!

Ah.

Chance favors the prepared mind.

You wanted to see me?

Tiff Griffin himself, I presume.

You want something?

It's just that I love your sign.

Great.

May I ask who made it?

We don't like questions around here.

Ah. Fair enough.

I want to know who made your sign.

Isn't that still a question?

No, but that was.

It's time for you to leave.

But you haven't addressed my statement

that was definitely not a question.

There's the door.

And there's a window.

You looking for trouble?

Objection! Question!

What do you want?

Who made your sign? I did.

Ah. Well, thank you.

I thought we would have heard from someone by now.

I hope they're all okay.

"Go home"?

How could they know who we are?

Shh!

Aah! It's just me!

Someone knows we're here.

Oh, yes. And I can explain that.

"King Derek and Queen Odette, the great pretenders."

Oh, no. If Edgar reads this--

Oh, he's read it, all right.

Him, the Council, and everyone in this town.

But we're so close to the truth.

You're sure the letters on this man's sign matched this letter?

Oh, Tiff Griffin's your man, all right.

That tavern's just a cover for his forgery business.

Then let's go and get his confession. Now.

It's too late.

First we've gotta prove we're the Barrymores.

We might be able to fool one or two of the Council,

but all of them?

What are the chances? One in ten?

Oh...

I can't see a way out.

I can.

Maybe. Possibly. I--

It's risky.

Risks are all we have left.

If we fail, your names will be ruined, same as your father's.

Forever.

We're listening.

Well, you're the one who called us together, Edgar.

What action do you suggest?

Is there even a question?

I-I don't think so.

Uh-- Is there?

I move that we expel King Derek from this Council!

I was literally just going to say that.

Obviously, betrayal runs in his family.

Careful, Edgar.

This is, after all, a gossip page.

And yet Derek's chair is empty!

Where is he, if he's not off posing as a magician

for who knows what reason?

Announcing Mister-- Yes, thank you very much.

I'll handle my own introduction.

What is the meaning of this? Apologies, all,

but sometimes one must risk death

to put down a lie like the one you now hold in your very hands.

Throw him out of here! A.J. Pennypacker's the name.

And I can prove that the Barrymores

are not King Derek and Queen Odette.

And I know because...

I am the Barrymores' agent.

And to prove my point, I give you none other than

the Barrymores themselves.

Remove your mask.

Remove it, or I will remove it for you!

- Remove it, or I-- - Sorry I'm late.

Huh?

Sorry, I kind of stole your look.

Oh, yes, please, apologies to your wife too.

Apologies, King Derek.

This lady almost got you into a peck of trouble.

Since nothing we do today

will be as fun as this was, I say we adjourn.

And tell Mrs. Gunderman

she is to collect every one of her little gossip pages

before sundown.

And to you...

...bravo!

Well, we really dodged an arrow with that one.

It worked!

They didn't even notice Pennypacker leave the room

during your performance.

High five. Low five.

Medium five. Full ten!

I don't know how you did it,

but we both know who you really are.

Well, no one will believe you if you write about it again.

True. You've ruined my reputation.

As a writer? Or as the woman who spies on her guests?

That's called "digging for facts."

Okay, how about this?

We're going to reveal the truth about my father's disappearance.

When we do, you can be the first to tell the story.

If you'll truly keep our secret this time.

I want a guaranteed exclusive.

Deal.

Let's not dance around the subject, Mr. Griffin.

We need the help of someone who...

has your particular set of skills.

You see, the Frankenhoffers

stole our egg trick.

Your egg trick?

We worked too long on that to have someone steal it from us.

We think the Frankenhoffers should get a letter

from, say, King Ivan.

"Dear Frankenhoffers,

I am a patron of the Barrymores, etcetera, etcetera."

We'll leave the threatening language to you.

A letter from a king isn't cheap.

Oh, money is not a problem.

Of course, we need to be sure you can handle the job.

Family letters? Farmers' deeds?

Nothing for royalty?

I don't think he's our man. Good day, Mr. Griffin.

I've done a royal forgery that would spin your head.

Ooh. Spin away. We'd love to see it.

You never will. No one will.

It's so good, it was hidden away forever.

Likely story.

Are you calling me a liar?

Well, who paid you to do it, then?

King--

Go on. King...

I can't tell you.

Then we can't pay you.

And you're sure Edgar wrote this?

Watched and heard him do it.

Good job, Speed.

Couldn't have done it without my buddy.

Frankly, I wish you would have.

Listen to this. "Be ready, my friend.

A merchant ship, heavy with riches, will pass in two days."

He's working with pirates.

Yes. Exactly what he accused my father of.

"Take the treasure, but take no prisoners"?

Oh, the man's a traitor.

"And remember your promise, half the treasure is mine."

Well, Tiff said he was paid by a king

to forge your father's diary.

I think now we know which one it was.

It's all coming together.

Oh, Clem said, on the night your father sailed out,

a mysterious fire was set to draw him away from the dock.

So maybe Edgar's pirate friends stole Max's ship.

To make it look like Max had sailed out on his own.

And the pirates probably all had eye patches.

I just wanted to add something. I think we know who did it.

Now we just need to prove it.

Or get him to confess.

Or get someone to do his confessing for him.

I think I may know just the man.

Welcome to Crispin's Accounting,

taking care of all your accounting needs.

Oh, good.

Because there certainly needs to be...

an accounting.

Uh...

You'll have to come back next week.

My, uh, abacus is broken.

Oh, not a problem.

Because I'm looking for a certain fellow

who learned his sailing skills from a certain genius,

and then wasted his training on becoming a pirate!

I don't know who you're talking about.

It's him!

What?

You'll have to forgive my partner.

He takes his work very seriously.

What's this about? I'll ask the questions here.

Well, sometimes she will. We alternate.

The point is, you don't ask the questions.

Hey, listen, I-- Hay is for horses!

You wanna talk to me?

My name is Mr. Smyth.

And this is Mrs. Smyth.

And that's Smyth with a Y.

Right.

So you can tell right there

it's definitely not a made-up name.

You see, in our job, Crispin, you get hunches.

And our hunch says King Max's ship was stolen by pirates.

That's got nothing to do with me!

No? Where were you the night King Maximillian disappeared?

Well, guess what.

I'm sure I was right here.

It was 30 years ago this month.

So what?

You've only been in business for 25.

You see, we think you were sailing under the flag of, uh...

Captain Firebeard.

That's right. Firebeard!

Admit it, you were one of the infamous Firebeard Fellas.

No, not me!

"I'm a Firebeard Fellow."

Stealing a king's ship?

People have spent their lives in jail for less.

Okay, I was a Firebeard Fellow, but I didn't--

"I helped steal King Max's ship,

and all I got was this lousy tattoo."

Oh, Crispin, your mouth keeps denying,

but your body keeps confessing.

Crispin, it's important that you tell us everything you know.

I've lived with so much guilt...

all my life.

Yes, I know.

We didn't just take King Max's ship...

we took Max.

Why?

Because we didn't have a choice.

We were following orders.

What happened to my--? I mean, to King Maximillian?

Oh.

You're Prince Derek.

King Derek now.

And Queen Odette.

This won't be easy to hear.

We dropped him in a small boat

and let the current take him to Unscapable Island.

No one has ever returned from that island.

It's under an ancient spell.

And the ship?

We blew it up...

...then planted his journal on the wreckage.

Who was behind this?

I promise, I don't know!

Only Captain Firebeard can tell you more.

But, you know, I haven't seen him since I left that life.

Try to find a map or anything you can about Firebeard.

We'll keep Edgar occupied.

Got it.

Yes. We were just out for a walk,

and this dog led us here.

We assumed he must be yours.

Ugh. No. But I'm glad you stopped by.

That disappearing trick you do completely fixed my problem.

Oh, uh... It did?

Yes. It's the main feature in my next book.

Next book?

There they are! All 13!

I Was a Pirate Bride by Edgar Rex?

Mm-hm. My pen name. Here's my next one.

The Pirate Magician, I'll call it.

Almost done.

Although last night, somehow, I lost a page I was working on.

You didn't make it disappear, did you?

"Make it disappear."

Sorry, should have realized it was just a book.

It's not your fault, Speed.

We all got it wrong.

Well, technically, I didn't.

But I can see why the rest of you feel bad.

Well, if it wasn't King Edgar, who was it?

I found Firebeard.

I told him I wanted to join up again

and that I might bring a couple new recruits.

Thank you, Crispin.

Meet me at the harbor tonight.

I can't bring your father back,

but I can help you figure out who's responsible.

Right, then.

If you're going to pose as pirates,

we better get started with your new faces.

Oh, no. Just me.

A pirate ship is no place for a queen.

I'll be a queen tomorrow...

...but a pirate today!

Do your best, Rogers, ye master of disguise.

Sorry, Majesties, but no one brings someone to Firebeard

without taking precautions.

What have we got here?

New recruits, captain. Good ones!

Says you.

Name?

What friends I have call me Big Nose.

Aye. They'd be lying if they didn't.

Skills? A plethora.

But bow and arrow is me finest.

If you hit one, you're a Firebird Fellow.

Wh--?

Huh?

Meet your new boss, men.

And this other creature?

You brought me a girl pirate?

Not just any girl. Bad Sally.

Sorry, I'd walk the plank meself before I took on a girl pirate.

Take her back, Crispy!

But, boss, we need a lady to do a bit of stitching.

And we did throw the last cook overboard.

What do you say to that, Bad Sally?

Can ye cook and sew?

The only thing I've ever stitched

was me own busted skull once or twice.

And the only hungry mouths I'll ever fill are the sharks'.

Never mind, boss, we don't need no stitching.

Yeah, I'm fine with dry bread.

Sorry, Bad Sally, the high seas are for the brave,

not shivering girls.

Huh?

By Jove,

Bad Sally's the bravest woman on land or sea!

To me cabin.

So there she lay,

this fancy queen, snoring her head off,

while Bad Sally helped herself to her gold gleaming bracelet,

her sparkling necklace, her glimmering ring,

and, yes, even her shining crown.

You didn't.

She did!

Yep, no one's made more off royalty than my Bad Sally.

Well, as grand a story as that may be,

I may have a better one.

Oh, here comes a real whopper, then.

No, no, no. On my mother's grave, this one's true.

You heard of King Max, then, and how he disappeared?

Aye. Not man or woman alive

don't know about the mystery of King Max.

You want us to believe that was you? Ha!

Not all me.

A bit of partnership, you might say,

between meself and a certain rival of King Max's.

Say on, then.

You see, me job was to make it look like

good old King Max was cutting a deal with us scurvy pirates.

So we kidnapped him.

Had to whip up a little diversion

to get him out to sea,

but get him out to sea we did.

Tell my family I love them.

We dropped old Max into a little dinghy...

gave him a wee shove...

and let the current take him straight to Unscapable Island.

Pity, he seemed like a good bloke to me.

Don't sound like you needed no partner.

Aye, but I did.

'Cause after dealing with Max,

we attacked the harbor for show.

Old King Ivan made sure we were safe from his mighty cannon.

'Twere all his plan, from start to finish.

In exchange for our little performance,

Ivan promised to get rid of all me pirate rivals,

and that he did.

And that was the end of old Max.

Steady, Big Nose.

Or should I say King Derek?

The name's Big Nose!

You draw back your arrows with the royal grip.

And let's just say, I know too well the look of a man

who's come to avenge his father's death.

And that makes you Queen Odette.

And you a traitor.

After them!

Quick!

Here!

What are you doing? Get in!

Get him! There he is!

Watch out! Hey!

Crispin! Long live Derek and Odette.

Come on! For King Maximillian!

I do hope, Uberta,

that you will enjoy my little gift.

Well, if Magnus was involved,

I'm sure it will be quite splendid.

Just so.

May we both remember this moment forever.

It's... beautiful.

You gave me what I didn't get that day...

the perfect coronation for Derek and Odette.

Oh, dear Wixom, I can't thank you enough.

I should have been the one to apologize first.

Apol-- No.

I... I'm so glad

we're going to be friends.

We are?

If you will allow it.

I-- I think I'd like that.

Magnus.

Thank you.

Even I'm scared and I know it's fake.

Ivan.

Maximillian?

Why did you betray me, Ivan?

You said we were friends.

What--? What do you want from me?

The truth, Ivan.

The truth!

The truth?

The truth is, I was supposed to be the next head of the Council.

Then here you come,

with your sickening acts of mercy and compassion.

Sebastian was a fool to choose you.

You stole my glory.

It was the perfect plan!

I'm glad I did it.

No one has ever figured it out.

So out with you!

Out, ghost.

You have no power here.

Ivan.

Mother.

Oh, Ivan, you have dishonored our family.

No, Mother.

I'm head of the Council, like you were.

By deceit.

By evil means.

Confess your crimes!

Yes. Yes, I did it all.

I had Max kidnapped

and sent to Unscapable Island.

Forgive me, Mother.

Forgive me.

And scene.

Get your hands off me!

"Gunderman's Gazette. Real news."

Ugh. Sounds boring.

"A Gunderman exclusive.

King Ivan betrayed King Max!"

What? Give me that.

We both heard Rogers say it.

No one has ever returned from Unscapable Island.

Tall tales.

My father deserves to be buried in his own kingdom.

I know.

I have to go.

I know.

But I will come back.

I love you.

I know.

I love you.

We must be close.

I feel the current pulling me now.

Derek, I just wanna say,

your father would be so proud of you.

If the worst happens, Scully...

Count on me.

I'll be there for Odette every day.

Thank you, Scully. You've been a great friend.

Derek. Derek. Derek!

Wh--? Derek!

I'm sorry, Odette.

Dad?

Derek?

I knew you'd come.

How could I not?

I love you, Dad.

Apologies. I know, it's a lot to take in.

Tell them we're safe, Scully.

I'll report back!

And send a boat!

I have a lot to tell you.

I wish I looked better for your mother.

Dad, Mom doesn't care.

To her, you'll look like a dream come true.

Sorry about this, King Derek.

What happened to "family only"?

I don't know. Word got out.

My Bertie.

As pretty as the day we met.

My heart is healed.

Oh. I've missed you so much.

Father?

This is Odette.

My queen.

My love.

My Swan Princess.

Wow.

My son has found an angel.

You have been a companion to my widowed wife...

and a father to my son.

Thank you, my friend.

'Twas my greatest honor.

"Our king lives."

Your Highness.

Welcome home, Cousin Max.

We're landowners now, thanks to you.

And I a better man, thanks to you.

Ha.

Crispin.

He survived.

Ah. Crispin.

Thank you for saving my son and Queen Odette.

Please, forgive me for what I did to you.

It was... It was cowardly.

We are friends, Crispin.

Forever.

And you remember my dear friend, Queen Wixom.

Really?

I obviously have a lot of catching up to do.

I humbly accept your desire to return as the Council chair.

With the permission of my son...

Lord Rogers will serve as my assistant.

And as my wife is no longer queen of Chamberg,

neither am I its king.

That honor falls to Derek and Odette.

Their wisdom and goodness will be an asset to this Council.

Now...

what's in the past is in the past.

Let us set about our work of peace and mercy.

When you disappeared, King Max,

I felt haunted because I knew I'd...

Well, I'd never have the chance to thank you for saving me.

I just made an opportunity, that's all.

You saved yourself, good Magnus.

Magnus, you have the most important skill of a master.

You make everyone look better than they actually do.

So you're saying I don't look that good?

Well, you're in a category all your own, my dear.

No artist, not even Magnus here, could capture your beauty.

Nice save.

And as for you, the Swan Princess,

Derek told me the whole story.

But I can't wait to hear it all again from you.

It will be my honor.

So there you were, a swan and a prisoner!

And everyone believed I was gone,

except your son, of course.

Good thing he inherited his mother's determination.

And your courage, Father.

May I call you Father?

Yes, of course.

All the day long.

I love these people.

They're brave, they're funny.

They make you proud to be royalty, you know?

Never mind. You don't know.
