"Once upon a time..1796"
- Mama, it's so cold - It's very very cold, Wilhelm
We need a doctor
You wouldn't believe what I've got
What did you get?
- Beet roots? - Magic beans
Oh Jacob
- Beans? - He said it'll make him better
And we'll live happily ever after
And you believed him/
You believed him! You idiot!
"15 years later"
"French occupied Germany'
"the Town of Karlstadt"
- Where did you come from? - Near Frankfurt
Let them pass
Thank you sir God bless you, sir, god bless you
Leave your horses for 1/2 a Franc, sir?
Only going for the best, sir
They're the Brothers Grimm
Every second counts
..the witch cries out in the dead of the night
When the moon is well hidden
She calls out to the darkest coldest blackness..
Her cry will freeze the vein
You were right to send for us
How many here have seen her?
Everyone here have seen her
It was 100 years ago..
She was burned at the stake for witchcraft..
They tossed her charred bones into the river
After that children saw her walking the river banks..
Beckoning them to her
It happened in Karlstadt too
Then you believe us?
Come to my mill! Hurry!
Such crunchy screeching! - Shut up!
What can you do for us?
It's difficult - Jacob?
The exorcism of witches requires a very special method
Pretty expensive
An arrow of the innocent's tears that is, a child's tear..
Shot directly to the heart
What's the theory? This is no ordinary witch
We got no one else to turn to Can you help us?
How much?
You're doing the right thing - I hope so
Whatever happens, stay behind that shield
Surprise is critical, we mustn't let her detect us until we're absolutely--
We're ready for her!
3, 2, 1!
She's shutting the whole place down!
Take the sword, Jake!
Get a hold of yourself!
Shoot her, Jake! Right between the eyes!
Hit her in the heart1
It won't release!
Hit her between the eyes! - What?
Between the eyes!
Damn it!
She's going to escape
When they fail they'll find places to hide
Seal these in a mirror-lined box
Bury it far from any river and the witch will be gone forever
You're a brave man - Take the bag
Bless you Bless you
Wait, the agreement
Oh yes, yes!
Thank you, thank you
She's dead? - Very
I must tell the whole town!
She's dead!
That one was a real nightmare
Don't give me that look
Now you're famous All the girls know your name
I do owe you an apology
Get me down! Get me down!
Sorry, l slipped
Fat Christ, what the hell are you doing?
Trying to kill us?
Weren't we supposed to?
God awful smoke!
We do all the flying burning and scaring..
What do we have to show for it?
One-tenth - One- tenth, exactly
You get the other nine-tenth..
And all you have to do is to ride into town and smile
I have to organize everything
There are 2 of us
2 times 10, we want 20 - 20?
Each!
Done!
Now here's the plan
Rest for a couple of days then meet us at Hamburg
Jake knows the legend of the bridge troll
Bridge troll, yeah!
How come he ends up doing the monster..
Because you, my friend, have talents
What do I have then? - You, my handsome friend, have heart
Your half, professor
Oh, would you prefer this to magic beans/
I'll take the beans - Stupid!
"Meanwhile..in the Forest of Marbaden"
Who's there?
Hey, can you hear me?
Where are you?
..and you were very very brave weren't you?
Well, well, shall we?
..and nothing comes between us No!
And no beast in the sky
And no murderous queens No!
But we did it! We did it!
This business is quite lucrative Know what i mean?
There is definitely money to be made in witches
Jake!
He can't hold his air - I can't hold me air
Kiss the fog and you'll turn into a bridge
Stop it, Jake! Atop it, you're drunk!
Hello
Come..1792, a very good year
On the house
Shall we continue our philosophical little question upstairs?
What do you say, Jake? A little chat?
A little puff, a little huff thank you very much
Beautiful damsels and princesses are all maidens are
I know a favourite game, it's called who's the fairest of them all
Beans, Jake, beans!
Beans! Blah, you're an idiot!
Wait for me now, ladies I'm coming
Good night
Delina, eat, eat!
How can you speak in this land..
Every word is like execution?
Your horses are running away
Run!
I shall return for you!
Nice try
Exactly what am I doing here?
Can someone please tell me who gave birth to this?
It's the Bavarian blood sausage I gutted the pig myself
I bet you did
You have to stand trial for subterfuge
I'm sorry?
Of which the minum sentence is..
Death
No no no, absolutely not necessary
Are they snails/
Your friends have told us everything
Everything except the most important thing
Where are the children of Mabaden
What children? - 9 little beautiful children gone
We've never even been to Mabaden
Open up the cauldron
No no no! - Wait!
I swear, l swear! - We didn't do it!
Of course you didn't We/ve been observing you for some time
Cavardi, stop it
No!
He said stop it!
However, someone in Mabaden is working at it
Same style, same tricks
It is a thorn in my toe
You pull it out I might be persuaded to let you go
You mean, if we work for you.. - That's right, Jacob
Go to Mabaden, unmask this villain
Find out where he hid all those children
Hans, we have to go to the village
We're going too far
Brighten up, nothing has ever happened to anyone here
We're in the middle of the very woods of the witches
And ginger bread owls
Hans!
Hey, come back!
Gotcha!
Greta!Greta!
"The Village of Marbaden"

Jake, me, the team

Greta was afraid because she thought..
There really was a witch in the ginger bread house
Then the birdsstole our bread crumbs
It was a trap the forest made it!
Yes, yes!It took my daughter too!
Mine too - And mine
Something snatched her away just left her red hood
Like a wolf It will fight
Do you understand? It would!
Bloody beast
Expensive
Our people always knew that the forest was enchanted
But it has never turned against us
Until now - Until the French occupation!
Good citizens You have nothing further to fear
The Brothers Grimm are with you Salvation is at hand
Nowwe need a guide Somebody who knows the forest
There is 1 - Who?

Cursed
Miss Croft, perhaps you don't realize who we are
We're the Brothers Grimm
We need a guide, someone who knows the path through the forest
We'll pay you money
We believe the forest is under some form of curse
You think I care about the village?
Excuse me, but he was trying to run away

I don't know if I've mentioned it but my name's Will
That's my brother Jake
I don't know if I've mentioned it but my nmae's will
That's my brother-- Angelica
Angelica, lovely
Listenwhatever trickster we're hunting..
And by trickster I mean villain..
He's got to have a hide-out a base for operations
For example, these caves here
There are footprints here.Why?
Why they go this way?
Why? Because the animals would have gone this way
No weapons
Weapons?We keep a lot and others too
This sophisticated technology must be very strange here
What exactly is it meant to do?
Shhh
Right, l feel it's safe to proceed
Our falks come from a place just like this..
Everwhere you look you feel the forest intertwines
To our ancestors this place is sacred
Wellwell, look at this
Who can build all of this in the middle of a forest?
A quick dam
I thought you said the animals don't come here
The animals don't drink from the spring
Are you seeling a sense of dread? It's almost like the smell of--
Death!
Excuse me Sorry
You're not afraid, are you? Not like the villagers
Sowhat happened here/
Christians came to destroy the forest people
Really?
What an awful story
They were the lucky ones
A year later the plague came
Jakewe really should check this out
There's no way in
Never was
Angelica..Angelica..
Look!See that window? Way way up high
Many centuries ago that's what they believed in
She was treasured by all the heroes..
Famed for her incredible beauty
Also vain and selfish the world was her own reflection
It was on the queen's wedding day that the plague arrived
The king was the 1 st to die
His bride built a tower
She locked herself away
Safe from the forest watching it rot
But the plague was carried on the wind
When she 1 st felt sick and her gorgeous flesh began to rot away..
They say you can hear her scream across the oceans
My princess isn't afraid, is she?
It's just an old story Papa's here to protect you
Wellwellwell...
I'm afraid my instruments aren't detecting much
Let's call it a day bevore it gets dark
We should leave
Angelica
Excuse me..but we came from that direction
That's not the way
We walked right past those birch trees..
That's the way we're walking out
Don't trust the trees
I don't grumble to toad
Show us the path - Oh god
Show us the way and I'll give you a kiss
Ah, just what I'm afraid
That way Are you sure?
You don't believe me?
Taste this
We did not come this way!
What's her game?
Shut up, Jacob!
She's up to something I'm sure of that
And here we are
Well done, Angelica
What are you doing?
A fruitful expedition Many things learned
Many things learned indeed
Won't be long now
So we'll regroup at dawn tomorrow
Give you boys enough time for your beauty sleep
You're on your own tomorrow - Sorrywhat?
I said you're on your own tomorrow
What did she say?
You forced me to show you the forest
I showed you the forest
It's alright, I'll handle this one
These drawings are very good, you know
I wouldn't be able to draw them myself
Angelica, that tower..
Father used to take us there
And where is he now? - He died
Last winter
They say the wolves took him - Wolves?
If you won't guide us would you at least give us a map?
It won't do you any good
It'll do us a lot more good than it would do you
At least we can read
Come on, Jake
You people think you know everything!
I've been to the city
My father saved every penny here..
To buy me a proper education
I think he went for a drink if you ask me
You're right..
After he died my sisters were left alone
They were the 1 st to be taken
That's why they call you cursed
So tell me again famous Brother Grimm..
How exactly do you intend to save us?
I think I'll do my own searching
I thought that worked rather well
Such generous hospitality..
BrothersGrimm thank you for your kindness
No no no, not for you
There, there, it's alright
What a pretty horse you are
Such big eyes you have
Such big ears you have
And such a pretty pretty mouth
I recognize the horse..
Get out of the way! - Angelica!
That was my horse!
Faster!FasterWill!
There's somebody in the woods!
Are you seeing what I'm seeing?
I'm most definitely not
It's just like they're on wheels
Hurry! - What is this?
I'm looking for you
Whta's happening?
What's happening?
Get down!
His eyes..his eyes..
My head!
I command you..
How many times do I have to tell you!?
There's something weird!
The trees, the forest, is swooping down!
Stop it, Jake!
It's just like it's under some kind of spell
We're cursed - What?
My..my family's cursed
My father..my father.. - What about your father?
I have to go back! - Angelica!
Who killed my men?
You tell me, Grimm Who!?
Or she will die!
German peasant
If you stay it'll destroy you too
Madamoselle, the Emperor honours me with this..
Your shining examples illuminate this dark forest..
Oh, finally!
Your honour, your soldiers.. they're dead!
I'm lucky to survive See, just a little bruise
Just a little little itchy...
We'll begin with a lobster piece
You insult me in front of my guests!
They tried to blind Cavardi with fairy tales of sweeping trees..
And flying wolves
But I used my logical brain
I know in a way I am responsible..
It is them they are the ones
Their plan is very simple..
Generalwe're outnumbered by some German forces--
Wilhem - What?
Precisely what happened in the forest?
General, l believe we witnessed a case of affensive enchantment..
Don't say that!
We're not saying that
Kill him I will deal with you later
Don't kill him I can make the fellow speak
Musical
Wait!No!Stop!
It's got nothing to do with me!
She's innocent
General, if you believe in Cavardi this country won't be yours anymore
He panics
Bon appetit, monsier
Stop!
General, Cavardi was right!
We saw them.We did
Those are huge men!
His large rotten tooth comes out
They probably won't just want a forest anymore!
Let us do it our way! - Yes!
Shaft us back into the forest! - Yes!
What?
We'll deal with them our way with our equipment
General, trust me! No, trust us!
We can surprise them
Cavardi, stop it
Very well, you shall return to the forest
But I warn you attempt to escape..
And I shall raze every tree demolish every building..
Slaughter every innocent in search for you
You understand?
Mind his head
Take as much as you can carry, alright?
Who exactly is our outfit with?
The one closest to you on a horse
Jake, jake, listen
Get back on your horse Move!Move!
Wait, l remember the rest of the story
What are you talking about?
It's an ancient folklore It's been passed down
Jake!
They tortured and killed her ancestors
To get their hands on the spell
Give me that stupid book!
Jake, you gotta understand something
This is not about the story It's about you and her
You want to rescue her - What's wrong with that?
She's part of the story
She's still there, isn't she?
The queen, she's been in the tower for centuries now
Waiting for someone
To serve her?
To scare the children?
Now that's not the truth, Angelica I know it believe it
Ignore him, he wishes his old life was something out of a book
And now he thinks he's in love
Shut upWill!
Angelica, leave the village now
I will, but I'm gonna find my sisters
Will doesn't care about them
Will doesn't care about anything but himself!
It's a fairy tale! They're not coming back!
It's not your worldWill!
Angelica, you know, don't you?
The story's happening to us now
We're living it It's alive, it's real!
We can give it a happy ending
Angelicawe'll find your sisters
We'll bring them back
Bring back her sisters?
Bring them back with what?
Magic beans?
They would not bring people back
They did not then And they would not now!
You go wait by the horses!
Jacobwait by the horses!
Sorry
We'll do what he thinks is rightWill
He's trying to help
We cannot fight the entire forest
You're just scared - Just scared?
I'm terrified You should be too
Don't you understand? The idea of going back in there
Nothing makes sense there..
Like being inside Jake's head
God, l hate him He makes me so mad
He should be whipped, doesn't he?
The thing is, l can't-- - Protect him
My father's gonna protect his family too
Jake..Jake, come back
Jake!Come back, Jake!
You're a fool!
Now do you see? I made that armour
It's not magic It's just a shield
This lovely fraulein will end up as a cartress
It's alright, just go Go!
