Which way?

Hold on a second,
hold on a second.

Prince? Where's the prince?

Prince? Prince?

Where are you, prince?

Hey.

Is this still the right
way to your castle?

Right,
um, I'll go and get a stick.

A stick? No.

Hold on a second here,
big things are happening.

Your step mother is my
wife, you understand that?

The Queen.

Well, she was the kind of woman

that everybody was drawn to.

I was just like everybody
else, I was crazy about her.

I couldn't believe it when
she said she'd marry me.

I knew she was sleeping
with other guys,

she wasn't even
discreet about it.

And I know that you don't like
hearing that kind of stuff

because you just wanna
hear how nice she was

because she was your mother.

But the truth is that
she walked out on us

and probably never gave
it a second thought.

Well, I don't believe that.

Argh, we're completely lost.

We've been walking round
in circles for hours.

Yeah, yeah, shut up.

Oh, look, look.

I'm not dead yet.

You want some help? So do I.

Ah, help yourself.

Yeah, since when have
you ever helped us?

You won't find them on your own.

We might, you never know.

And if we fail,
we fail as family.

Three trolls with
the courage of one.

I can find them, I just
can't catch them on my own.

What do you propose?

A partnership.

She never wanted me...

No, it was all my fault...

I hear them right on the
edge of the royal estate.

I don't remember
the night she left,

but I remember the morning after

because you were trying
to make me breakfast

and you didn't know
where anything was.

I had to call your
grandmother over

to look after you, because
I had to go to work.

She kept saying, "Look, look,
she's playing with her bear,

"she's gonna be fine."

I noticed you had three
bears, you'd taken one though,

and shoved him in the corner.

And you said to him,

"Now, you're gonna have
to stay there all alone."

Well, I knew she'd come back

because she'd left all
her clothes, you know.

She loved her clothes more
than anything in the world.

And I kept going into her
room and checking on them.

And then after a few
months you suddenly said

that we had to get
rid of them all,

so, I remember folding
them all very neatly,

and I kept hoping that
there was going be,

you know, a secret
note or something

that would be written for
me, you know, just to me,

telling me that she
loved me, and explaining

the secret magical reason
why she had to go, you know?

I mean, I still have
this uncontrollable urge

to just go up to people
and say, "My mother left me

"when I was seven."

You know, as if that
would explain everything.

And I miss her.

And I hate her.

And I miss her.

And I feel like I was on a train

and it crashed or something,
and no one came and rescued me.

I always wanted my life to
be a fairy story, you know?

And now it is.

Dad. Dad?

Yargg arg!

You are dead!

Leave her to me.

Argh, what?

It's your chance after the
queen is finished with her.

Sir? Sir?

Are you awake?

Is it breakfast?

You're not yourself, sir.

What is the matter?

Sir, what is my name?

Sir, I've known
you all your life,

I even helped bring
you into being,

and you do not even
know who I am, do you?

Um...

Oh.

I'm, just, I'm a dog, okay?

I'm just a little
dog, that's what I am.

I want to go home.

I want to stay on all fours.

Please, help me, old chap,
I'm just a poor little dog.

I'm completely out
of my depth here.

Magic. I suspected as much.

I must get a message to...

Get up from there.

Get dressed.

It's time to show our hand.

Dad, wake up.

What?

The helmsman's asleep.

No one can see
us, we can escape.

We've got the handcuffs
on, our feet are tied.

Well, just jump off the back.

No one's gonna see us, come on.

Would you look
at us? We can't.

Anyway, what about the prince?

Go, go, go, master.

Look, just don't think
about it, just do it.

Ready?

One, two, three.

Ugh.

All right, so,

was there a stage two
to your escape plan?

Starting today, no one is
allowed to leave the castle

unless instructed to do
so by me and me alone.

If asked, you shall simply say
that your master, the prince,

has returned, and is well.

If I hear one
rumor, one whisper,

that anything is amiss,

I will kill your
children in front of you.

Messengers will be sent today

to every king, queen,
emperor, and dignitary

throughout the nine kingdoms

inviting them to Prince
Wendell's coronation ball.

The evening will
proceed as planned

with one tiny exception,

we are going to
murder all the guests.

Well listen, here's
what I don't understand,

what's the point of escaping

if we're just gonna
straight into the castle?

Look, it's a short
out. It's quick.

You see that?

Why do you think one
route is 39 miles,

and the other is 13 miles.

Well, maybe there's a scenic
route, how should I know?

Come on.

I don't think...

It's gotta be longer
because it's safer.

This looks, one has
trees, and, but this is...

Oh, well look at that,

you think it's maybe it's
going around something?

Maybe it's just not
suitable for carts.

Ah, oh look, it squished again.

Urn, is it just me,

or can you hear A
Whiter Shade Of Pale?

It's just you.

No, no, that's Procol Harum,
that organ is unmistakable.

Listen, listen, listen.

No, that's an animal howling.

I don't think so.

What animal can skip
the light fandango.

Well, you don't get
lyrics like that any more.

You know, it's not too late
to turn around and go back.

No, wait, let's
just, we've this far,

let's just continue on until
at least the end of sign one.

Come on, you've gotta
be able to hear that.

What are all these lights?

They could be fireflies.

Ooh.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Everyone thinks they
can handle the swamp.

But they all end up in the
hands of the swamp witch.

Oh, great, the swamp witch?

There are three
things you mustn't do

under any circumstances.

Don't drink the water.

Don't eat the magic mushrooms.

And whatever you
do, don't fall asleep.

Okay, dad, why don't
we just keep moving.

Oh, look,
they're all chained up.

That can't be helping.

Would you like to be
separated from each other?

Oh, yes.

More than you can imagine.

All right then.

No, let let me.

No, it's my turn to be naughty.

Wait, what do you
mean be naught...

Well, that's better, you
see, because we can just...

Dad?

We can...

Virginia?

Dad?

Hey?

When I said we wanted
to be separated,

I didn't mean literally.

Virginia?

Stay where you are or
I'll shove you in my pot.

Oh my god, this old witch.

Who dares enter the domain

of the swamp witch?

Please don't hurt me, I'm just..

Acorn?

Oh, allo.

Hi.

Long time no see.

Yeah.

You, uh, still
looking for your mirror?

No, that one got smashed,

we're looking for
another one now.

You haven't seen my
father walking around

anywhere here have you?

Oh, he might have been singing
A Whiter Shade Of Pale.

Uh, no.

Come in, I was just
making some soup.

Oh, thanks.

I really thought you were
the swamp witch out there.

No, no, she's
been dead for years.

This is a great place to lie
low when you're on the run.

Nobody bothers you.

Well, who was the
swamp witch then?

Who was she? I thought
everyone knew that.

No.

Well, you know the
story of Snow White.

Yeah, from the
horse's mouth actually.

What?

The swamp witch was
the wicked step-mother

who tried to kill her.

Well, this is where she crawled
to after they made her dance

in the red-hot slippers.

She spent the rest of her
life plotting revenge,

but she was too weak
to carry it out.

Then she found someone
to do it for her.

Who was that?

Well, swamp witch is
buried in the basement.

Why don't you go
down and ask her.

Maybe what you
seek is down there.

What do you mean?

Dunno really, I just
always wanted to say it.

Personally, I wouldn't
go down in that cellar

for all the gold in
the nine kingdoms.

My mother's been
here, I know it.

Stop!

Are you lost, my child?

Are you lost?

Let me show you the way.

Come to me.

Come with me and you
will lose your pain.

Forever.

Look, I am dying,

but my work is unfinished.

The house of Snow
White survives.

You will do my work for me

and I will give
you all my power.

Poison is the way
the queen will strike,

and the way she
must be defeated.

You will find your
weapon in a grave.

Do not think. Become.

You are nothing!
She will crush you!

Hey.

Anybody gonna eat these eggs?

Got a frying pan
here and everything?

Straight ahead 300 yards,
left at the rotting entrails,

and you're out, 10, 15
minutes at the most.

Okay, I really can't leave

without finding my
father first though.

He's probably asleep
on Mushroom Island.

Everyone ends up there.

You can't miss it.

Okay, thanks.

Even if you want to.

What good is an omelette

with nothing to put in it?

Pop in a couple of mushrooms
like us, for instance.

Yeah, right, forget it
guys, I'm not gonna eat you.

We weren't
suggesting you should.

We were just trying to
point out the tarragon

growing over there.

Smells like the real thing.

It is the real thing.

It's one of the
essential ingredients

of a mushroom omelette.

I'm not gonna get
caught that way.

Mushroom omelette, nice
glass of Chateau Suau,

little snooze.

All right, knock it off.

Well, at least have a
drink. You look parched.

I'm not gonna drink
any swamp water.

I know it's not the
clearest thing in the world,

but it does pack a punch.

It'll take you right up
the beanstalk and back.

You know what I'm saying?

Dad?

Dad.

Oh, hi.

Hi, thank god, I thought
I'd never see you again.

Come on up, you
want an omelette?

You're not drinking
the swamp water, are you?

Of course not.

Let's get out of here, I
can hardly keep my eyes open.

I know, me too, I'll tell
you what, just come on up here,

have a seat, nice little island,
five minutes, that's all.

Okay, but we cannot fall
asleep no matter what.

Oh, no, of course not.

It looks good.

That was fantastic.

Mmm.

Those mushrooms are far out.

Dad!

What are you doing?

What? What?

Look who's talking!

What?

You've had three cups!

Really?

I've had three?

Okay, you know, I'm gonna,

I need to lie down for
a little while now,

so it's really essential
that you stay awake, okay?

Then I'll be fine.

Virginia, wake up.

Wake up, Virginia.

Mommy! Mommy!

It's all right, you were
having a bad dream, that's all.

Tell me a story.

All right.

Once upon a time, there
was a lovely little girl

who lived on the
edge of the forest.

Her mommy told her never
to go into the forest,

but do you know what she did?

No.

Yes you do.

She ran into the forest
and she met a monster

and then she died.

And everyone forgot about her,

and we all lived
happily ever after.

Virginia, where
are you? I need you.

Yeah, big Tony here.

Dad, hi, it's me.

Look, I just had to run away,

but I left you a couple of pies,

just pop them in the
microwave, you can't go wrong.

Hold on a second, wait a minute,

you can't run out on me,
that's what your mother did.

Wait, wait, my princess.

I miss you.

Plus, I've got a
seven-year-old son here.

You should be here
taking care of him.

Oh, well, I'm glad you
finally have a son now.

At least that should
make you happy!

Ugh!

Wake up, wake
up, or all is lost.

Aw, come on, I need
an electrician here.

What's going on,
hey, the lights.

Hey, come on, I'm not
gonna sit here in the dark,

turn these lights on, hey!

Virginia.

Virginia.

Tony.

Tony, wake up, wake up.

Lights, all the
lights are out...

I should never
have eaten the apple.

I almost died back
there, what the hell?

Oh, how did you find us?

Oh, Virginia, I've been
following you for a long time.

Oh my god.

Oh.

Where did you go after
you left Kissing Town?

Kissing Town...

I went off for a while
to think about things.

Picked up your trail
a few days ago.

But how? We went
through a mountain.

Virginia, I could follow
your scent across time itself.

You seem different.

We're both different.

I didn't mean to chase you away.

You know it was just,
everything was just happening

so quickly, you know, and...

I really do like you.

I like you a lot.

And I never...

I never wanna hurt you.

I think I love you.

So long have I waited for you.

So many dull prison days.

In the summer, I
could see the sunlight

on my cell wall.

I longed for the
summer to see the sun,

yet every time it
came, I knew I had lost

another year of my life to you.

When all of this is over, I
will put you in a little box

until you curl up
and die of despair.

Where was he caught?

15 miles from here.

So near. What
about the others?

We killed them.

Liar!

Idiot!

We are extremely
stupid, you majesty.

But we have the dog.

Fools.

The dog is not the threat to me.

The girl.

The girl is the threat.

Come on.

Come on, come on.

The journeys end,
Wendell's Castle.

That's where the mirror is.

And that's
how we're gonna get home.

Let's take a little
rest before we go on, huh?

I'll get some water,
and one of you guys

wanna get some wood?

I'll go.

Yeah, I'll go with you.

Virginia,

there's something I'd really
like you to do for me,

I mean, with me.

And I think I deserve it,
given my multiple savings

of your life.

I know what you wanna
do, and the answer's yes.

Oh great, oh I want you so much.

I know, I want you too.

All right, all right, all right,

you run into the woods,
and I'll cover my eyes.

Sorry?

Into the trees, and
I'll cover my eyes,

and I'll count to 100.

Are you serious?

Oh, yes.

Oh, I won't cheat.

I promise, I won't cheat.

That's not the point, I...

All right, all right, all right,

maybe I'll count a
little quicker after 50,

but I promise you'll get
a proper count from me.

I am not playing
hide and seek with you.

Come on, come on, come on.

One, two, three...

No!

Four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, you better run,

10,11,12,13,14,15

16,17,18,19,

72, 73, 74,

98, 99, 100!

Ahh! Coming!

Oh, it's about time.

Where's the wood? For the fire?

Oh, we couldn't find any.

Couldn't find any
wood? In a forest?

Hello, Tony.

You don't have any wood either.

Yes, thank you.

We're so lucky, a
coronation only comes along

once every 2,785
mouse generations.

But I don't think there's
going to be a coronation,

I saw Prince Wendell
lying under his bed.

He looked barking mad.

Oh no, that can't be right,

he's probably just anxious
about serving the right cheese.

They say that Cinderella's
going to be here.

No? She must be 200 years old.

I heard she doesn't
want to show her face

because she doesn't
want to spoil the memory

of her beauty.

Uh oh, I thought
as much. Look!

Mouse traps, make
yourselves scarce.

Oh, oh, that's Old King Cole.

Oh, presents!

They're all going to the castle
for Wendell's coronation.

Oh, come on.

Whoa, let's just walk in there.

If I'm right, this is no
longer Prince Wendell's castle,

it's controlled by The Queen.

The guards may now be her
eyes, we can trust no one.

Wolf, I have to
tell you something.

What?

The Queen...

Yeah?

Is my mother.

I knew that

from the first
moment I smelled you.

All right, so, what now?

We'll wait here until dark

before we try and
enter the castle.

What do we do all day?

Sleep. We're exhausted.

Are we not?

Definitely.

Did I miss something?

Welcome to Prince
Wendell's castle...

Yes?

The guards haven't seen them.

What do you want me to
do if they don't show up?

They'll show up.

They'll come in
amongst the others

when they think they are safe.

Signal to start the
coronation ball.

Yes, my lady.

Look, look.

That looks promising.

Promising? What are
you talking about?

Swim under the grill,

it's bound to surface
somewhere in the castle.

Somewhere?

Oh good, for a second there,

I didn't think you had a plan.

Follow me.

Wait a minute...

Wolf!

I'm not gonna go and
dive under the water

to hope we're gonna surface
somewhere in the castle.

Wolf's not coming out, he
must have found the way in.

Why does that follow?

He could have just run out of
air, and he could be drowned.

Virginia, don't, no,
Virginia, Virginia!

Wait!

Oh.

Come on.

You can make it.

Come on, come on.

I thought I was gonna drown.

Come on, get up.

You all right?

Where's dad?

I don't know.

Come on, dad.

Passage was very
thin at the top.

Just come on through.

Come on, come on, Tony.

I'm gonna have to go back...

No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, come on Tony.

Dad?

Okay, come on.

Are you okay?

There you go.

All right.

I almost drowned in there.

Oh, don't exaggerate.

It's this way.

Okay, I need a towel.

Towels? We need weapons!

Shh, Shh.

Doors, come on.

One door leads to safety,

one door leads to a
horrible death, ribbit.

I learned this in school,
but I can never remember it.

You may ask one
question. Ribbit.

But I always lie.

Okay, okay, if we ask him
which door is the safe door...

Right, well then he'll lie,
and say it's the other one.

Isn't it?

Or is it the other way around?

I dunno.

Time's up, man.

Wait a minute,
I have a question.

What is the point
in having a door

that has a horrible
death behind it, huh?

Get your hands off me.

What does that achieve?

What are you doing?

What is the
purpose of your life?

Just to be a pain?

Hey, don't touch me there,

only my girlfriend
touches me there.

Ahhh...

I guess it's the other one.

Where is the prince?

The country's not been the
same since the troll invasion.

Rude, if you ask me.

Being late for his
own coronation?

Yes, my riding
boots are killing me.

There's Old King Cole,

we must introduce
you to my tailor.

What do you think?

Your royal highness.

Lords and ladies,
ladies and gentlemen,

may I present to you a
vision of loveliness,

the dancing queen,
the slipper supreme,

it's midnight madness,
it's Queen Cinderella!

Ooh, look at that.

She can't be 200.

Hah, she's just had
a lot of magic surgery.

Where's Wendell?

Shh shh.

These are the royal chambers,

the queen will sleep as near
her dog impostor as possible.

Now, my deduction, is that
she will have our prince

in the very next room.

There.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Close the door, close the door.

This must be a guest room.

No, this is her room.

What are those?

Yeah, what are those?

Oh, mirrors, mirrors.

Ah.

Oh, I got it!

That's it, we have
the travelling mirror.

Wait.

Manhattan, we've found
it. We can go home.

Virginia, what?

No, please come on, let's just
go while we can, let's go.

I can't go yet.

What? Yes, no, you can.

Would you please, Wolf,
tell her, you can go.

Let's just go.

No, I have to see her first.

No you don't.

Listen, she is not your mother.

Whoever this person is,
she's not Christine.

She's not the
woman that we knew.

We have been led here
all along, don't you see?

It was never the mirror.

It was just a way to
bring us here to meet her.

Please, let us go home
while we can still go home.

No, I have to see her.

You last request is granted.

Did I do well, your majesty?

Excellent well.

What?

I thought it safest
to stick with them.

Make sure they don't
spoil your plans.

What have you done?

It's very simple, Virginia,

I obey the queen.

Christine, what
are you doing here?

Don't you recognize us?

I've never seen
either of you before.

Of course you have. I'm
your daughter, Virginia.

Christine don't
look through me...

Don't look through me, all
right? It's me, it's Tony.

I said I don't know who you are.

Morn, we came from New
York where you used to live.

This is just magic
to distract me.

My lady?

Leave me alone with this girl

and take him to the dungeon.

Bring Wendell to me.

Wolf.

You can go to the kitchen now.

I've sensed you for a long
time through my mirrors.

But your image has
always been denied me,

now why is that, do you suppose?

You don't look very
powerful to me.

Has someone been helping you?

Some little dead heroine
puffing you up as an adversary?

I am your daughter.

I don't have a daughter.

Why did you leave me?

You were unwanted.
That's plain to see.

Haven't you always
known that, secretly?

That you were the ugly duckling?

The sad thing is,
your little quest

has given you
delusions of grandeur.

You started to think you're
capable of great things but,

you were right in
the first place.

You're plain.

Plain and ugly.

Come.

Compare yourself
to me in my mirror.

Mirrors cannot lie.

You think you are
fairer than me? Look.

Ask the mirror.

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

What are you doing to me?

Who is the fairest of them all?

What are you doing?

No!

You intrigue me.

Why have you come here?

To find you. To talk to you.

To make you realize who...

To kill me.

No! No, of course not.

I'm going to kill
you first, now...

You stay back or I'll...

Or what?

Looking for this?

I know everything. All your
pathetic plans, everything.

You think Snow
White will help you?

She's dead. Dead.

That's why she
sent a little girl

after me with old magic.

Is it poison?

No.

Oh, you little liar.

If this were to pierce my skin,

it would kill me instantly.

It is very beautiful though.

In your whole life, did
you ever once love me?

Stop!

Oh, that's not me.

Oh!

My lady, we have a
problem in the kitchens.

Take this girl
away and lock her up.

I will finish with
her afterwards.

After what? What are
you gonna do to everybody?

No more than you would do to me.

Oh, Virginia.

Oh, dad.

Are you okay?

Oh, I'm sorry.

What happened to her?

She's crazy, she's just,
she's sick, and she's...

Before she left
us she was just...

She was getting worse,
and worse, and worse.

I've never...

I've never told anybody what
happened the night she left.

And you, you didn't
even remember.

So I couldn't tell you.

What happened?

She was trying to drown you.

What do you mean?

That's not true.

If I'd have come
home a minute later,

you would have been dead.

Don't pant, don't
bark, and stop muttering.

I'm trying to
remember my speech.

You do this properly tonight,

and you can have
any bitch in town.

You!

Keep them apart,
don't let them touch.

But that's me!

The guests are getting
suspicious, my lady.

Take the dog to my hiding place,

I'll meet you there shortly,
I have one last thing to do.

This kingdom can be ours.

They will test you, but
beware of Cinderella,

she is your greatest threat.

Don't move.

Oh yeah.

Oh ho ho ho, that's good.

All present and correct.

As you commanded, majesty,

the most powerful
poison ever created.

Smells divine.

The poison? did he say poison?

It's not pumpkin soup then.

Have you tasted it yet?

Of course not, majesty.

Well then, how do you know

it's the most powerful
poison ever made?

Yeah, how do you know?

Well?

Try it.

It's definitely not
pumpkin soup then.

Look at him, dead
as a doormouse.

Mouse traps, deadly
poison, processed cheese.

It's not like the old days.

My crafty little wolf, you
had me worried for a while.

Oh, when you freed me from
prison, I agreed to serve you.

A wolf always keeps his bargain.

After tonight, when I
rule the nine kingdoms,

wolves will be very important.

I will make them
my secret police,

and you will be the chief.

Chief wolf!

We've been waiting for hours.

Be silent for the future
king of the fourth kingdom.

I present to you,
the man of the hour,

the hero of the day, his
royal personality of the year,

he's simply the best,

Prince Wendell
Winston Walter White!

Ta-da!

Wendy.

Mwah!

There were some rumors that
trouble had befallen you,

is that true?

No, I just went for long
walkies around my kingdom.

As one does.

Huff puff, chief wolf!

The wolves will run
out of town this time,

the farmers don't know
what's gonna bite 'em.

Excuse me.

Cinderella...

Hey, look at this.

I saw this earlier,
blew me away.

Grimm? As in Grimm Grimm?

Gotta be, gotta be, right?

I mean all those stories,
they weren't made up.

They're true, he was
here 200 years ago.

Wow.

Grimm fairy stories,
you remember those?

I used to read those to
you when you were a kid.

You used to sit on my knee,

the one about the donkey
would only eat thistles.

Oh, that was House
at Pooh Corner.

Yeah.

What does this
say? What is that?

I dunno, I tried reading
it, it's in German,

it must be German.

I can speak German.

So can I, cheese is kase.

Our great, great,
great, great, great,

great, great, great, great,
great, great, great, great,

great, great, great,
great grandfather

learnt it from
Wilhelm Grimm himself.

Well, how sweet,
German speaking mice.

Okay, okay, so what
does this say here, this.

Wenn sie fliehen wollen
mussen sie die hebel drehen?

Must you the handle turn...

No, the lever turn.

Handle is klinke.

Must you the lever turn
if you wish to escape.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, escape?

Lever? Lever!

Lever, lever. There
are here no levers.

The rings! The rings!

Turn the rings! Turn the rings!

Oh wait, over there, get the
ones over there, try 'em.

Hurry up, come on. We
might still have time.

If anyone can save the
nine kingdoms, it's you.

Good luck, you're
going to need it.

Thanks.

Until the prince's
21 st birthday,

the throne has lain
in trust for him.

But, before he can become king,

he must first show us that he
has learned the three values

of course, wisdom, and humility.

Let the first
challenger step forward.

Wendell.

I am Leaf Fall,
queen of the elves.

It is a very great
responsibility you take

upon your young shoulders today.

And I wonder if you are
brave enough to join us.

His bravery is questioned.

Tell us, tell us the tale.

The troll king
threatened this kingdom.

I challenged him to
a fight, man to mutt,

and he was huge, and horrible,
and he drew his sword,

and both of us fought, and
then I dropped to all fours,

and I was snarling.

And then he lunged, at me,
and then I clawed at him,

and then I sunk my teeth in him,

and I ripped his throat out.

Bravo. Magnificent.

Such animal courage.

Bravo.

He has passed the first test,
Wendell is king of courage!

Take a weapon.

What do you mean take a weapon?

We don't know anything
about fighting.

Take a weapon, dad.

It is time for the
second challenge.

Queen Riding Hood the Third,

ruler of the second kingdom.

What wisdom have you
learnt on your recent journey

through your kingdom?

Uh...

That's a tricky one.

I have walked every road,

I have sniffed every hedgerow,

I have roamed the land,

and found bones.

Bones?

I found this huge pile

of a hundred fresh, juicy bones.

So, I took one, and I
buried the other 99.

Sound thinking?

Cunning.

Build up our military
reserves for times of war.

Wise indeed.

He has passed the
second challenge.

Wise Wendell.

Which way?

Here.

No, I definitely
think it's this way.

What? Why did you ask
me in the first place

if you're gonna ignore me.

Sometimes I wonder...

Midnight approaches.

In the time-honored
tradition for the ladies,

please prepare for
the Cinderella waltz.

What? Do you
think I'm too old?

Royal toast?

You're acting very
strangely. ls something wrong?

Do you really have
to be home by midnight?

Oh, my neck.

Help me, I'm 200 years old!

Give me your hand.

Sorry, sorry.

What is this?

Royal toast.

Feel free, please take one.

Royal toast.

Here, this must be
the way to the ballroom.

You know what,
that's not locked,

there's something
leaning against it.

All right, well we're
running out of time.

Push.

Rargh!

Skin 'em. Skin 'em alive!

Oh!

Back in the hall,
go, go, go, go.

Oh, no it's locked.

Here, here, wait, wait, wait.

All right look, this
is gonna take too long.

You just keep going, and
I'm gonna fight them off.

No, dad, you're
gonna get killed.

It doesn't matter about me.

You have to save everybody,
all right? Just go!

And if you get through, just
keep going, don't wait for me.

I'll keep guard.

If none questions
his appointment,

then I do solomnly...

Wait.

I question.

Woof. Oh, um...

Uh, do you?

Are you really
Prince Wendell White?

Grandson of Snow White?

The man who would be king?

I am...

Hey!

Uh oh.

No.

No, I am an impostor.

I'm not a prince,

I am...

I am...

Ordinary.

I will never be
great like Snow White.

Some are born to be great,

but I am a pack animal.

I am not a leader,
I am a retriever.

I do not want the job.

I will not take the job.

I am not worthy.

Looks painful.

He passed the third test.
He has shown humility.

Bravo.

He has passed the three tests,

now let him be crowned.

Ow.

Virginia!

You only get to watch.

Aww.

Time for the royal
toast, your majesty.

The royal toast!

To everlasting peace,

and all the bones we can gnaw.

To everlasting peace, and
all the bones we can gnaw?

I think I did really well.

Ugh, poison.

Anyone for seconds?

No?

You certainly are persistent.

Are you gonna kill me as well?

I was going to let you
go. I don't know why...

You know why.

Go, leave me, get
out while you can.

No.

You were nothing
but an accident.

You should have been
killed at birth.

How dare you.

How dare you speak
to me like that?

Kill her now.

Kill her, or I'll do it myself.

No!

Wolf!

Stop.

Cripes.

You've drawn blood.

I'm sorry.

No, no!

No, please don't die.

Don't die.

Just remember who you are.

It's too late.

Don't cry, my little girl.

My little girl.

I gave away my soul.

Wait! Wait!

Wait!

Oh my god.

What happened?

Oh, oh, I think I've
drunk too much champagne.

Oh, oh, what's
happening? What's going on?

Why aren't you all dead?

I thought you
poisoned everybody.

Oh, no, no, no,
no. Troll dust.

I swapped the poison for
a pinch of troll dust

just to make it look convincing.

I'm sorry, I had to trick you.

Go for it, Wendy.

Go.

That ought to do the trick.

Ah.

I'm back, I'm back.

I'm back!

Hi.

I've been waiting
for you to wake up.

You've been asleep
for almost two days.

I don't think I
realized how tired I was.

What have I done?

It's not your fault.

Don't blame yourself.

Because that...

My destiny.

Oh, Virginia.

Let her go.

No...

Lords and
ladies, girls and boys,

let's hear it for King Wendell!

And now, for the greatest
bravery imaginable,

for courage in the face of
relentless and terrible danger,

I award my dear friends

the highest medals
in my kingdom.

Firstly, my temporary
manservant, Anthony.

My people, look upon my friend.

No longer is he spineless
and wallowing in self pity.

Thanks.

No longer is he a
balding, useless coward

who'd rather run than fight.

No longer is he selfishly driven

by envy and greed, no.

He is heroically transformed.

What braver man could exist

than Anthony the Valiant.

For this long-suffering dog,

my craftsmen have made
a special collar medal.

This confused canine will
live in a golden kennel

next to his very own
mountain of bones.

Perhaps it's better
if I don't touch him.

You never know
what might happen.

As for this wolf,

for him, I have no medal.

Huff puff. That's typical.

Instead, I have
here a royal pardon

for all wolves, everywhere
throughout my kingdom.

From now on, wolves
will be known as heroes,

for it was a noble wolf who
saved the nine kingdoms.

That's wolves for ya!

Good guys!

As for Virginia,

how can I ever reward you
for what you have done.

For what you have lost.

This flower was given
to me by Snow White

when I was seven years old

on the day she left
our castle forever.

She said that one day,
I would meet her again,

though she would never return.

I understand her words now.

When I was a little
girl, you had a fur coat.

And I remember you used
to come in my room and,

and I could still
smell your perfume.

And you used to rub the
fur up and down my cheek,

and I knew,

I knew that you really,
really loved me.

I always wanted to
be your little girl.

Anthony, I wish
to offer you a job.

No thanks.

Oh, no, but wait until
you hear what it is.

I want you to build
me a new castle.

A ca...

I'm no architect.

No, no, no, a bouncy castle.

I will give you titles, land,
and hundreds of servants,

whatever you need.

That's very, um,
your majesty, I can't.

I mean, I, well, I can't
even make plastic over here.

It's basically what
you're asking me to do

is give you an
industrial revolution.

In your new position,

you'll be surrounded
by young beauties

in all of your reputation
as a national hero.

Oh! Miss, miss, over here.

What would you like to eat?

Um...

Hey, you've gotta eat something.

Yeah, you've
gotta eat something.

Okay, I'll have, um,

I'll have some fish.

Fish. Fish, fish, yes, fish.

Waiter? Waiter?

Bring fresh fish
immediately, please.

Fresh fish.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mmm.

I'm fine, really.

She's fine, really.

What?

That's my engagement ring.

Oh, and, a singing ring
never fails to get his girl.

Ahh.

It's destiny.

Put it on, put it on.

Well, all right,
I'll just try it on.

But I'm not getting married.

Of course you are, a
baby's got to have a father.

I don't intend to have any
children, thank you very much.

Well, it's a little
bit late for that.

What do you mean?

You've got a little wolf
cub growing inside of you.

A little furry chap, just
like me, only much smaller.

Believe me, I'm a wolf,
I know these things.

Really?

I just know.

That's where I went.

Are you really gonna stay?

Yeah. What, I gotta go back
to New York to be a janitor?

Hey, remember, I'm still
wanted for armed robbery too.

I'll stay a few weeks,
then I'll come back.

I'll see you soon, okay?

I really love you, daddy.

You haven't called me daddy
since you were a little girl.

Really?

Yeah.

See you soon, grandpa.

Grandpa?

I'd like to say that Wolf and I

lived happily ever after,

but our lives were almost
immediately interrupted

by another crisis
in the kingdoms.

But that's not this story.

This story is done.

And, when you live every
day with all your heart,

and you can be happy ever after,

even if it's only
for a short time.

My name is Virginia, and I
live on the edge of the forest,

and this is the end of the
first book of the tenth kingdom.
