ANDREA: Betta!

That's the curse of the Stria. She kidnaps children.

I want to find my brother and bring him back home.

When the journey at last is done,

the knights will return to their homes all safe for one.

Andrea, it's you.

-Faster, faster! -Come on, hurry up!

(PANTS)

-MATTEO: She's getting closer. -GIULIA: 'Cause we were all just exploring

-that wonderful that castle of yours... -MATTEO: Go!

...after freeing one of the kids your mom had trapped in there!

The Nowhere isn't a paradise at all. I knew Giulia was right!

I'm not your son anymore.

Everyone has forgotten about us completely! We don't even exist at all.

Unless, of course, you manage to defeat the Stria once and for all.

I say, perhaps you can find the Strias Midnight Key as well.

-It's the key to unlock her true heart. -I'm in need of your services, Exiled.

-ALDO: Hey, what do you want? -(CHUCKLES) I want you.

-GIULIA: Somebody, please! Hey! -RICCARDO: Giulia!

ZENO: Let her go now!

But we have to find the Midnight Key. And we also have to defeat the Stria.

(BELL TOLLING IN DISTANCE)

Yo!

Uh, Aldo. Hey.

-You going somewhere? -Yeah, just going to meet with my friends.

You know, I had the weirdest dream last night.

-Oh, yeah? Well, great. -Yeah.

There was a monster and you were there, too.

In my dream, you weren't such a loser.

-Not like in real life. (CHUCKLES) -(CHUCKLES)

That's why... today, I'm feeling generous.

So, go on, you're free to go home.

Go!

Hey, bug-eater? Wait!

Just be careful out there, okay?

And fight for yourself. You got it?

Okay.

You guys! You guys! You're never gonna guess what...

-What is he doing here? -Zeno wants to join our side now.

The... Who, the Stria's son?

Without him, we would never have defeated the Exiled.

I understand your reservations, so let's vote on it.

Who wants to give him a chance?

Welcome, Zeno, to the Knights of Castelcorvo.

-I won't let you down. -(CHUCKLES)

So, since you're on our team now, you don't have any superpowers, like...

like fireballs,

-or ice rays, or anything like that? -BETTA: (CHUCKLING) Matteo!

-No, but I can make anyone disappear. -You mean it?

-(BLOWS) -No.

-(ALL LAUGH) -But I'm still right here.

RICCARDO: "Away from wind and sky, the last test you will find.

"In a house without windows and doors of he who lies but is always heard.

"You will need to show your backbone, to enter a house for the men of stone."

-(INDISTINCT CHATTER) -This one's complicated. Let me see.

Really? You have no idea where the Stria could have hidden the Midnight Key?

No.

There's no place that comes to mind,

-no favorite hiding places? -I just told you, I have no idea.

Ricky, stop asking him that.

-I just feel like her son should know! -Yeah, but he just said he has no idea.

Matteo, what are you doing?

Come on, we really need you to help us out here.

MATTEO: I know, but my mom is gonna test me later.

She wants to check if I've been studying.

Sure, but I think it's more important to not be forgotten.

Well, I'm optimistic. Optimistic for the key, pessimistic for my mother.

-What do you have to study? -History. Actually, prehistory.

The Stone Age, you know, when the cavemen were painting the walls of their caves.

You guys!

Guys, wait a second. I think I might have solved the riddle.

The answer is "cave," isn't it?

RICCARDO: Yeah, it is!

-Yes. -Great work!

I basically just gave him the answer!

In Castelcorvo, there's only one cave. And it isn't really far from this place.

-We should go. -RICCARDO: Yeah!

-Let's go now then. -BETTA: Shall we?

We don't have time to waste.

-RICCARDO: Good job, Andrea. -ZENO: Nice, Andrea!

-I love riding bikes. -Hurry, guys!

(CHUCKLES) It's nice.

-My mom never taught me how. -GIULIA: You're good at it.

What's the matter? Why did you stop riding?

Those two are always flirting, even when they're riding bikes.

ZENO: Come on.

-Come on, guys. Let's hurry! -Better go.

You really can't stand him, huh?

Can I ask you a question?

But you have to promise to tell me the truth.

Sure.

Is Zeno really that cool?

Well, yeah.

-(SIGHS) -He's not my type, though.

Okay. Then what's your type?

Someone who can keep up with me.

I'll bet whatever you want that you can't catch me.

-What? -First one to that tree is the winner!

(EXHALES)

(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)

So, here we are.

This is the cave

You never told me this place would be so creepy.

Zeno, what can you tell us about the Lord of the Whispers?

He's a master of lies and deception. This is where he lives, the dark.

His powers can bring your worst nightmares to life.

Sounds great.

This time, did you bring an actual flashlight?

Not just one.

I brought four.

(EXHALES)

Careful, you guys. From here on out, you can't trust anything you run into...

especially anything you see or hear.

Okay... lead the way.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)

(TENSE MUSIC CONCLUDES)

MATTEO: I'm not afraid of the dark, but in here,

-this dark is way, way too dark! -BETTA: There's light over here.

SILVIA: (LAUGHING EVILLY) Hello, Riccardo!

-Did you guys hear that? -No, hear what?

I heard laughing!

Riccardo, you've broken your grandmother's vase.

It's like you destroyed part of her memory.

-Your mother will be so upset. -No. No. That can't be real.

What is it, Ricky?

-Don't you see her? -(CHUCKLES)

-See who? There's no one. -I see our babysitter, Silvia.

(SNAKE HISSING)

-(SCREAMS) -(MATTEO SCREAMING)

-Look, there's a snake there! -Where?

-Water snake or a viper? -I don't know! It's just a snake!

But I don't see a viper.

I told you, you can't believe what you see here.

We have to stay calm, and not let the illusions affect us.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Hello, Betta.

-Who is that? -You, of course.

I'm only trying to tell you the truth.

-And the truth is, you've failed already. -No.

Tomorrow, the full moon will rise.

And your brother is going to be forgotten again.

You'll be forgotten, too. And all of your friends.

You'll all be forgotten.

And it will all be because of what you've done.

(HISSES)

(SOBS)

-Hey there, bug-eater! -(SCREAMS)

Did you really think I would leave you alone?

Oh, no.

It's too much fun beating you up.

You'll never have any real friends. I'm all you'll ever get.

-(BREATHES SHAKILY) -You just think you're so tough.

But really you're just dragging everyone down with you.

Did you really think you could ever defeat the Stria?

Hey, Mom?

-Dad? -I'm sorry.

We don't have any children.

(WHIMPERS)

Riccardo broke the vase. I'll tell everyone.

-How you doing, bug-eater! -(BREATHES HEAVILY)

ZENO: Guys, calm down.

This is all just the Lord of the Whispers. He wants you to fall for his tricks.

STRIA: Zeno, are you so certain that's all they are?

-No. -(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

You're just fake. You can't leave the Nowhere.

I can do anything, my child.

(BLOWS KISS)

-STRIA: Now, you tell me... -(ZENO BREATHES HEAVILY)

...what's real and what isn't. (LAUGHING EVILLY)

It's right under me. (SOBS)

Riccardo broke the vase! I'll tell everyone!

-You've failed already. -Are you kids lost?

I'm all you'll ever have. I'm all you'll ever have.

-We've never seen you before. -(STRIA LAUGHING EVILLY)

-Riccardo's gonna be in trouble. -(OINKS)

(CHUCKLES)

-Hey, the snake, it's gone. -(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Now, Silvia has gone away.

Betta, give me your hand.

(LAUGHING EVILLY) You failed already. Just say it. I have failed.

-Betta, your hand! -(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Just stay together. When we're together, we're stronger.

Don't you know me?

-I'm sorry, but you're wrong. -No, we've never had any children.

-What's your name? -Andrea, close your eyes and take my hand.

If we stand together, we can beat him!

(STRIA LAUGHING EVILLY)

You remember? I promised I would feed you a bucket of worms, didn't I?

-Matteo? -(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Well... it's time for me to keep that promise, little piggy.

-(BREATHES HEAVILY) -(OINKS)

-GIULIA: Matteo, take Zeno's hand! -Matteo.

-Matteo, grab my hand. Matteo! -(SCREAMS)

-BOTH: Matteo! -No, Matteo.

-Come back here! -No.

What's this, Knights?

(GASPS)

The Stria.

(WHIMPERS) Help me, somebody!

(BREATHES HEAVILY, SOBS)

-You can see her, too? -Yes.

-I think we all can. -I'm coming for the keys.

I'll take them back.

And then you'll be forgotten. It's that simple.

It's not my mother.

I know who. It's the Lord of the Whispers.

Don't listen to him. It's all in our heads.

Let's all stand closer!

-But it isn't working! -Because one of us is missing! Matteo!

(PANTS)

He ran away. What a coward. Not much of a knight, is he?

ALL: "I am a knight, sworn to be courageous.

"My heart is filled with righteousness. With my sword, I defend those in need."

We make a great team!

ALL: "My strength helps those who are weak."

Yes, we got it open!

ALL: "Whenever I speak, what I say is the truth.

"I will save my wrath for the wicked."

We're knights, remember?

That's right. We're knights.

ALL: And long live the Knights of Castelcorvo!

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

You're all nothing but foolish children. (LAUGHS EVILLY)

MATTEO: Hey, you witch!

You should know a true knight never abandons his friends!

We're not afraid anymore.

That's because we're knights.

"I am a knight, sworn to be courageous."

ALL: "My heart is filled with righteousness.

"With my sword, I defend those in need. My strength helps those who are weak.

"Whenever I speak, what I say is the truth.

-"I will save my wrath for the wicked." -You'll never be a knight, my son.

-You're just a child, playing with magic. -"I am a knight, sworn to be courageous."

ALL: "My heart is filled with righteousness.

"With my sword, I defend those in need. My strength helps those who are weak.

"Whenever I speak, what I say is the truth.

-"I will save my wrath for the wicked." -(YELLS) No!

It really was the Lord of the Whispers!

-And we all defeated him! -Yes! Yes! And look what's right there!

(GASPS)

GIULIA: It's the Midnight Key. You guys, we did it!

(ALL CHEER, CHUCKLE)

Hey, Lord of the Whispers, you're gonna need to do better than that

-to defeat the Knights of Castelcorvo! -ALL: Yeah!

(ALL CHUCKLE)

(MUSIC FADES)

Now, we're done with the game. So... back to the castle.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

To the Nowhere.

(SIGHS)

Are you ready?

(SIGHS)

ANDREA: We have to be very careful.

-The Stria will be expecting us. -And I bet she's set some traps for us.

Yeah, but we'll be ready for her, won't we?

Yeah... we're stronger than she is.

And we're on the right side.

(EXHALES)

(DOOR CLOSING)

Hey, you guys... are any of you worried about a rematch with that guy?

I don't know, but let's not get too close, okay?

Don't worry, it won't move.

The light in the castle has changed.

-My mother is in a good mood. -Good mood?

-But why? -Maybe because we're back here?

(CROWD CHEERING)

Well, we're about to find out. Let's go.

-(INDISTINCT CHATTER) -(CHILDREN CHEER)

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)

What is going on here?

(FLUTE PLAYING)

Wow, so cool.

CHILD: It's fluffy!

-Teo! -Sorry.

-What's that game? -CHILD 2: Oh, nothing much.

Just the coolest game in the world.

-MATTEO: Hi! -Hey!

-CHILD 3: Hey, nice one! -MATTEO: Zeno.

Why are some of these kids wearing such weird clothes?

Because my mother took them a long time ago.

BETTA: Zeno!

Where should we be going?

Let's follow the children.

(CHEERING CONTINUES)

-It's so amazing! -(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

CHILD 4: Incredible!

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Welcome, children! It's such a pleasure to see you again.

How would you all like to join our little party?

I'm sure you would never think of ruining my birthday, would you?

So, take a seat!
