Original subtitles

Okay, get into character.

[Toby grunts]

-[both] Huh? -Ah, guard person.

Just returning to pick up a few things and such.

Uh, carry on!

Awesome-sauce!

I mean, splendid and whatnot.

What is the meaning of this?

[both gasp]

[Vendel] An impostor!

Guards, seize him!

No, dudes, seize him!

If I'm not the real Vendel, how come I have the, uh, staff thingy?

[both growl]

Ahh! Unhand me at once! [groans]

[Blinky] Dealing business with these vile agents...

I dearly hope we are doing the right thing.

Anything to get Aaarrrgghh!!! back.

Brace yourselves. Looks like the creep patrol is here.

Follow my lead. I've seen enough spy flicks to know how a handoff works.

It's a precise ritual of nuance and power.

[gasps]

Not another step, wiener schnitzel!

That's far enough!

Now, throw us the antidote, and we'll throw you the staff!

-Are you serious? -[Toby] Deadly!

[sighs]

[grunts]

[grunting]

Now what, Agent Toby?

Um, okay, fine!

Let's meet in the middle, but no funny business!

-Hands where I can see 'em! -[sighs]

Enough theatrics. Do the exchange now!

[grunting]

Would you let go?

Yes.

This will do quite nicely.

"Twig of Worm's Root, ounce of silver..."

This isn't an antidote! It's a shopping list!

It is the ingredients to the antidote.

Boil these in oil until it burns, and that will bring your friend back.

-Pleasure doing business with you. -[door handle clicks]

[laughing]

Fragwa, open the door. [sighs]

Auf Wiedersehen! [laughs]

[tires screeching]

We did the right thing. Right, guys?

Desperate times, desperate measures.

Now, we must concern ourselves with some shopping. Hmm...

Where might we find the tears of one untouched by love's first kiss?

Hmm...

What? I've been kissed. Many times.

Your nana doesn't count.

Oh.

[grunts]

[Gumm-Gumm snarls]

Oh, yeah? Same to you, buddy.

[Nomura] You seem chipper for someone that's been fighting to the death.

We just gotta hold out a little longer. Give my friends some time to find us.

Then we'll be back home with a soft bed, deep-dish pizza...

[sniffs]

[coughs] Soap...

[chuckles] Man, did I take soap for granted.

-"We"? -Yeah, you're coming with me.

You saved my life.

The least I can do is save yours.

You found some candy. How sweet.

Doesn't mean your friends can save you.

No one escapes the Darklands.

Who knows? Weirder things have happened.

[whistling eerie melody]

Do you even know what you're whistling?

I just thought it was catchy.

-What is it? -It's Peer Gynt.

-"Peer" what? -"Gynt."

It's an aria, like an opera.

-Never mind. You wouldn't understand. -Hey, come on, try me.

I mean, it's not like we're going anywhere.

[Nomura sighs]

I was just a young changeling when I first heard it...

alone in your human world.

But there, opening night,

when the curtain rose and the orchestra swelled...

Peer Gynt is a little boy, who stumbles into a mountain of trolls.

He faces a troll king, who tells him,

"To thyself be true...

and who cares what the world thinks?"

But it's just a play.

You want to hope, kid? Go ahead.

We'll need our strength for tomorrow.

-[sighs] -Rest up, little Gynt.

[whistling "In the Hall of the Mountain King"]

-[liquid boiling] -Ugh, slimy.

Slimy, gross. [retches]

Mm...

[sniffs] Blech!

-[mouse squeaking] -Gross! I'm gonna wash my hands.

[Toby grunts]

I think that's almost all of it.

[grunting]

[groans]

[screams]

Oh, that hurt. [grunts]

And lastly, a fragment of Heartstone.

[Claire] It's working!

[scoffs] I don't get it. What happened?

Nothing. It... It didn't work.

-I... I thought for certain... -No!

No, come on, we did everything right!

Come on, after all that we did, it has to work.

-Unless... -[Toby] It has to.

The list was bogus! How could we have been so stupid?

[sniffles] The amulet told us we could bring him back.

He has to come back. [sniffles] I even did the tear thing.

[sobbing]

-[laughs] -[grunts]

-Aaarrrgghh!!!... -Deya's grace be upon us.

[growls]

[Aaarrrgghh!!! grunting]

[screams]

[Draal] You are making too much-- [grunts]

-Aaarrrgghh!!!, calm yourself! -Aaarrrgghh!!!

-[grunting] -Stop! Wait! Aaarrrgghh!!!

[growling]

He's disoriented! Quiet him before he alerts all of Trollmarket!

[roars]

-[Toby] Whoa, Aaarrrgghh!!! Easy, easy! -[growling]

It's me, your wingman!

[grunts]

[roars]

[panting]

Wingman.

Ah! He's back!

-Oh, I knew he'd be back! -[laughs] I see it, I don't believe it.

[Claire laughing]

We missed you, you big brute!

I had all but assumed I would never see you again, old friend.

How did I...?

Where's Jim?

He, uh, went to the Darklands so that no one else would get hurt.

Mm. [growls]

-Must get Jim! -Oh, yes, so you do know how to save him.

The amulet proclaimed that you are the key to the hunter.

So, tell us, what must we do?

Um...

[Kanjigar] Aarghaumont.

What is...?

The amulet and the Fates that guide it have called to you.

To what purpose, only you can discover, my dear old friend.

Uh?

Hello?

You are the first outsider since time began to see our sacred realm.

-[gasps] -Welcome, Aarghaumont,

to the void between worlds.

Kanjigar, why?

I know you have many questions.

There is a reason you were chosen.

There is a reason we need you.

Aaarrrgghh!!!, what did you see?

-Did you meet the spooky troll ghosts? -[both gasp]

[Kanjigar's voice] He did convene with us.

But I am not Aarghaumont.

Kanjigar the Courageous.

-Wait! What? -At ease, Blinkous.

Yes, it is I.

It is you... Father.

-Well met. -[grunts]

My son.

[sighs]

But how? What has happened to Aaarrrgghh!!!?

-Your friend is here with me. -[gasps]

Aaarrrgghh!!! walked the line between life and death,

so he alone could become a vessel for me to aid you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey there, troll-tergeist!

Give me my wingman back!

At ease, Tobias Domzalski. I will only stay until my work is done.

But excuse me, Lord Sir Kanjig-Aaarrrgghh!!!...

What exactly are you here to do?

I thought you knew.

Only a Trollhunter can open the Killahead Bridge.

[gate rumbling]

There they are!

I knew it! Detain them!

-Find the staff! -[trolls grunting]

[grunts]

For the glory of Merlin, Daylight is mine to command!

Aaarrrgghh!!!? What dark powers have you meddled with?

-[grunting] -[gasps]

[Toby whimpering]

-[grunts] -Toby!

-[grunting] -[trolls grunting, screaming]

-No! [shrieks] -[gasps]

-[Toby screaming] -[grunts]

[screaming]

[grunts]

We have little time. This will take us to Bone's Alley.

-But, Father-- -Follow me, son.

We are together at last.

-[yawns] -Huh?

-[footsteps approaching] -[guard growls]

[guard groans]

Kanjigar's creeping spider! A signature move!

This guy's a legend.

[grunting]

[Kanjigar] Hurry!

Claire Nuñez, I require a portal to Killahead Bridge.

Quickly.

[gasps, chuckles]

-[gasps, chatters angrily] -Killahead.

[chatters, yells]

-Quick, everyone through! -[Claire grunts]

[Claire] Fudgeknuckle!

[gasps]

[troll grunting]

We'll take the gyre.

[troll groaning]

Kanjigar, why don't you simply talk with Vendel and the Tribunal?

Surely, one of Trollmarket's greatest champions could persuade--

Talking requires time, Blinkous, something we do not have.

Things are dire.

If we do not act now, James Lake, Jr. will die.

-[both gasp] -Uh...

But Killahead's in the woods. There's no gyre station there.

We don't need one.

[Blinky screaming]

[chattering angrily]

-[ground rumbling] -[Chompsky screams]

[all screaming]

[coughing, chattering]

Oh, dear. We are officially fugitives from Trollmarket.

Forget what they think. We must concentrate on what we do.

-We have all that we need. -And then some.

Okay, how does this crazy crime spree help us save Jimbo, exactly?

Friends, I have seen the impossible.

A vision of you saving James Lake, Jr.

But, to do so, you must follow the path I lay before you.

We've done the impossible before. We can handle it.

I have my war hammer! It's hungry to smash.

[Kanjigar] No, no weapons.

In my plan, you will need nothing else

but the knowledge and tools I will give you.

Aw, man!

What possible chance do we stand if we are unarmed?

Each of you will be charged with a task.

You must follow them to the letter if there is any hope of survival.

Claire Nuñez, take this.

In the Darklands, it will aid you in a key moment.

Um... thank you?

Blinkous, take this flare crystal.

Its blinding light will save your life.

My life? Could I get some specificity on that statement?

-Tobias Domzalski. -Ooh, ooh, me, me, me!

What do I get? What do I get? [gasps]

You must ensure that your team only brings back James Lake, Jr.

-No one else. -Okay, got it. Just Jim.

Guess I got good advice.

Father, what is my task?

I know you wish to go into battle, but I need you here.

-I can help. -And you shall.

Of all of you, your responsibility is greatest.

You keep watch so that Gunmar does not escape.

If your friends do not come back, you must make a choice.

-To destroy the bridge? -If you must.

I understand.

Now, then, you all have your orders!

Wait! This is all happening so fast.

We don't even know our way around the Darklands.

-But your gnome, who survived it, does. -[Chompsky] Huh?

-He will be a guide... and more. -[gasps, chatters]

Jim's time is short. I sense Gunmar readying to destroy him.

Wait, you're saying, as you were fighting,

your mother was in the other room?

Yeah! And then, Strickler transforms,

and he goes,

[imitating Strickler] "Good look for Picture Day?"

I mean, come on!

-He always was a to-- -[footsteps approaching]

Enough rest, impure.

Gunmar has something special in mind for you.

Chompsky, I promise, if you find Jim, I'll buy you

-the Sally-Go-Back moon base. -[groans]

So, everybody pitch in. Those things are pricey.

[chattering nervously]

What is the plan, Kanjigar?

I have naught but a flare and more questions than answers.

I cannot reveal more,

for to know your future is to risk dooming it.

Trust in yourselves and me, and all will be clear soon enough.

-Um... -Don't worry!

With super Trollhunter Kanjig-Aaarrrgghh!!! by our side,

two for one, boom!

We can't lose!

I'm afraid I will not be joining you into the Darklands.

[both gasp]

After I open the bridge, I must use the last of my power here to keep it open.

Wait, you're leaving?

You will need Aaarrrgghh!!!, not I. He will make his own way.

Oh, dear. Is that another one of your riddles?

One revolution of the amulet's arm

is all the time I can grant you before the bridge closes!

Best of luck, Trollhunters!

[sighs]

Save Jim.

-[Aaarrrgghh!!! grunts] -Remember what you must do, my son!

[ticking]

This whole thing is nuts. Are we really doing this?

Uh, I think we are,

but I was half-listening, he was talking really fast.

I don't know what we're supposed to be doing!

Worry not! We'll get through this as we always do, together.

[amulet ticking]

Draal, we'll be back soon. Keep the door open, will ya?

For Jim!

[all] For Jim!

[all screaming]

[gasps]

Bring back our Trollhunter, my friends.

-[Claire grunts] -Oh, dear.

Such is the stuff of nightmares.

[creature snarling]

Uh, let's not stay one minute longer than we need to, huh?

Chompsky, do you know where they're keeping Jim?

[chattering]

[Blinky] Perhaps I'm meant to use the flare.

[Claire] Kanjigar said you use it to save your life.

I don't think that's right now.

Why do the Darklands have to be so dark, man? I can't see a thing.

[screams, grunts]

How am I to discern when my life depends on it?

Such infernal instructions. They're both cryptic and oblique.

What if my indecisiveness is cause for our undoing? [grunts]

-Oh, ahh! Cragglesnacks! -Really?

I know. You would think four hands would be more helpful.

Oh, but alas, my accursed butter digits!

Blinky, you needed that! You're going to die without it!

I'm aware of that!

Okay, no one panic. Don't panic. Everyone, stop panicking!

[panting]

Your rope! Yes, we can retrieve it. Kanjigar thought of everything.

-But Jim is running out of time. -Yes, you three go ahead.

Aaarrrgghh!!! will help me retrieve the flare. We'll be right behind.

[Claire] Hang on, Jim. We're coming for you.

[Toby] I'm so afraid!

[Claire] Don't worry, Tobes. You have a girl to protect you.

Ugh, it's like an Escher painting threw up in here.

-[chatters] -[Toby panting]

[gasps] Are those Gumm-Gumms?

And goblins? [whimpering, panting]

Oh, thank you.

-Chompsky? -[chattering happily]

How? How did you get here? How did you find me?

-[Toby, Claire speaking indistinctly] -Toby? Claire?

-Up here! I'm up in here! -[Chompsky chattering]

[Toby] Jimbo? Oh, my gosh!

Oh, my gosh, Jimbo! You're not dead! You're not dead!

It's you! It's you, Tobes!

-It's really you! -Jimbo, I'm so glad you're okay!

You are okay, right? Are you? Are you okay?

-You okay? -Tobes, I'm-- I'm fine.

I've been better, yeah, but I'm keeping it crispy!

I got your message!

Keep it crispy! [chuckles] I told you he'd get it, Claire.

-Claire. -Hey... you.

Hey.

-I... I can't believe you guys made it. -[laughs]

-Wouldn't have missed it for the world. -How did you--?

Oh, it's a long story. But I'm glad you asked.

First, we had to get the bridge from the bottom of the ocean.

And we brought Aaarrrgghh!!! back to life, and he merged with Ghost Kanjigar!

Wait, what? Aaarrrgghh!!!'s alive?

[Claire] Probably should catch you up later. We gotta get you outta here.

Okay, Tobes, hurry up and use your war hammer to bust me outta here.

But, um... But we don't have our weapons.

Wait a minute.

Kanjigar said I needed this thing for a key moment.

This is a key!

[grunting] I...

-[Gumm-Gumm snarling] -[shrieks]

Come on, come on, come on!

-[both grunting] -[chattering]

[Toby] Hurry, hurry, hurry! They're coming for him, guys!

-Gotta get outta here! -I'm not leaving you!

Come on, we gotta hide!

Your time has come at last, fleshbag.

Uh, guys, I don't know. My stomach is feeling kinda off.

You think maybe you could come back and--

[Jim groans, coughs]

How does your stomach feel now?

No! Let go of me! Wait! Stop!

[chattering]

-[whimpering] -Ow!

[whispering]

Take the hunter to the Crucible. I will be there shortly.

[Jim grunting]

Kanjigar gives me one item of utmost importance, and I drop it.

Blinkous, you imbecile!

-[Aaarrrgghh!!!] Your flare? -Oh, dear.

[both gasp]

Oh, dear.

[grunts]

[groaning]

If beasts won't break you, perhaps your friend will.

Are you kidding me?

-We're locked in? We're the rescue party! -Wha--?

Those instructions were pretty vague!

[Dictatious] You were always

-the fool, Blinkous. -What?

-[Dictatious laughing] -No! Impossible!

-You were dead! -Am I? [laughing]

Dictatious.

We never could agree on anything, brother.

[Gunmar] Know thyself...

and know thy enemy.

-[Gunmar laughs] -Not you, no.

A battle to the death!
