The Reckoning
1
-[mysterious music playing]
-[fire roaring]
[Drew] No, I am not leaving you again.
-What are you doing?
-I'm putting you first.
Whitley! [screaming]
[grunting]
[suspenseful music playing]
Whoa! [grunts]
Catlords.
[Whitley and guards grunting]
[Whitley panting]
-Time to give up the fight.
-I don't take orders from puppets.
-Who's really behind this invasion?
-[man] I am.
[intense music playing]
-Bring me anyone loyal to the Wolf.
-[snaps fingers]
[guard grunting]
-[guards yell]
-[blades slice]
Do you hear that? Cape Gala has fallen.
Not if I have anything to do with it.
-[clears throat] More oysters, anyone?
-[Broghan yells]
Why don't you drop the act
and bring me my sister safe and sound?
[Lucas] Broghan…
[Broghan] Huh?
-You didn't say "please."
-Just do as he says.
You… You should have run
while you had the chance.
Guards, arrest him!
That's not going to work, I'm afraid.
[gasps]
[Lucas] And please don't tire yourselves.
I'm merely the welcome party.
Welcome party? For who?
[shushing] He's coming.
[suspenseful music playing]
[guard grunting weakly]
-[groans]
-[Whitley gasps]
Cousin Orsino.
[kisses] Right on time.
[eerie music plays]
The troops are assembled, Lord Bergan.
[Duke Bergan grunts]
[inspirational music playing]
This is our day of reckoning.
Let them come.
Let them try to take this city.
Let them try to scale these walls,
because they will fail.
While Highcliff stands strong, so do we.
We will stay. We will fight!
And I say, "Let them come!"
[troops cheering]
[booming]
-[exploding]
-[both wince]
Bergan, are you sure?
Can the city survive this?
It has to.
Well, where is the Wolf?
Escaped.
He's probably halfway to Highcliff by now.
When he returns--
Clearly, the girl knows nothing,
Your Highness.
Drew could be anywhere by now.
Right. Anywhere.
[yells angrily] They're playing us!
[Gretchen cries out]
Looks like your young guest
left his manners at home, comrade.
You will speak only when I command it!
Remove the Lady Whitley to her cell.
Alone.
[Whitley scoffs]
We play along, for now.
And saddle my horse.
I'll find the Wolf myself.
I assure you there is no greater huntsman.
No greater sh--
[man] Permission to volunteer,
Your Highness.
Who presumes to interrupt their prince?
Mm. The Wolf's own brother.
Trent, I was waiting for you to step up.
What did you have in mind?
But we agreed that I--
[Trent] A little something
we learned on the farm.
If you wanna catch a Wolf,
you need a trap.
And to set a trap? You need bait.
[chuckles] Spoken like a true huntsman.
[mysterious music playing]
[Drew panting]
Sorry, Whitley.
I'm not leaving without you.
Any of you.
[horn blowing]
[herald] Prince Lucas of Westland,
future king of the Seven Realms of Lyssia,
demands his subjects make way
for the royal carriage.
The Lady Gretchen will depart
from the Sky Stable at sunrise.
[horn blowing]
Yeah, and I'll be waiting for her.
[pensive music playing]
[clears throat]
Did you want something?
My father asked me to give you this.
A small token of our gratitude.
[grunts]
You'll find me a wealthy
and generous ally.
I have no interest in prizes,
Prince Lucas.
All I require is your trust.
Do as I say.
Do not fail me,
and the world will be yours.
[horse whinnies]
[gasps]
[Drew growls, grunts]
[door slides open]
[door slides closed]
I know, I know. "What kept me?"
Still--
Better late than never, little brother.
-[gasps] Trent?
-I've waited a long time for this!
[both grunting]
Get off!
[exploding]
[Hector] Put out the light.
Unlight the spark. [blows]
[eerie music playing]
[gasps]
[exhales in relief]
-[ominous sting]
-[Hector screams, pants]
-[exploding]
-[Ringlin gasps]
…the spark.
Release the spirit to the dark. [blows]
[grunts] You know what? Keep your money.
I'm out of here, with or without you.
[blows] Put out the light.
Unlight the spark. Put out the light…
-You're wasting your time.
-Unlight the spark. [blows]
-Put out the light. Unlight--
-Honestly.
Anyone would think
you don't like having me around.
I don't know what you mean.
Be quiet! Put out the… Put…
Enough.
Chant all you want,
but you sealed our fates the day
you threw me off that balcony.
But… but I didn't! [wails]
We are bound together.
And right now, we escape together.
I won't abandon my friends.
[Vincent] You'll do as you're told,
just like always.
Now, get packing.
[distant explosions]
[laughs] You see that, old Bear?
Your defeat, riding the waves to meet you.
You should've surrendered
when you had the chance!
[Duke Bergan] I should have defeated him
when I had the chance. [yells angrily]
Oh, your aim is improving, Bergan.
[growls lowly] You're late.
We have a counterattack to plan.
No, we have an evacuation to plan.
You've seen what's coming.
They don't know the city like we do.
-Bergan!
-We have the advantage.
We have nothing!
We are outnumbered and surrounded.
We must evacuate the city. Now!
[sighs] I know what's coming,
Your Majesty,
and for that reason, I cannot leave.
[sighs]
This is our destiny,
and if you want to stop us, you--
[sighs softly]
[exploding]
[soldier] Help me!
Hey, hey! Get back to your post.
You have to open the gate.
The Catlords are coming!
[townspeople screaming]
[Hector yelps]
[wails]
[explosions rumbling]
[coughing]
[Queen Amelie startles]
Hector! What happened?
Where are you going?
Tell her you are wanted in Redmire.
I'm wanted in Redmire.
-You've been called back urgently.
-I've been called back urgently, and…
And you have to leave tonight.
Do I have to think of everything?
Hector, the city is surrounded.
You'll never get out.
We have to stay together
if you want to live.
-I… I'll take my chances.
-[scoffs]
[townspeople screaming]
Well, that was easy.
They really have no use for you,
not even your beloved Drew.
Say that again.
Your friends don't need you.
But…
But what if I need them?
What if I need to stay and fight
because they're real,
and you're nothing more
than a spiteful whisper in my ear?
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
[suspenseful music playing]
[Drew and Trent grunting]
Where's Gretchen?
What have you done with Whitley?
They're both Orsino's now.
Was this your entire plan?
You fell for it, didn't you?
You always were gullible. [shouts, grunts]
What about you?
Everything the Lions told you is a lie.
They've done this to both of us.
Believe me, I've thought of nothing else
since the day you left.
[both continue grunting]
[guard screaming]
[Trent] Come here.
[both grunting]
Who's driving this thing?
No one!
[soldier] Stop!
[both grunting]
Come here.
[soldier] I said, "Stop!" [screams]
[horse neighs]
[Trent and Drew cry out]
[both shouting]
-Any ideas?
-You're asking me?
-[Trent shouting]
-Keep still.
[whispering] My idea is to keep still.
[wheels creaking]
[both shout]
[grunts]
[panting]
Your eyes.
-[Drew straining]
-Oh…
[Drew panting]
I can't reach it.
Unless…
-Unless I change.
-No!
-Do you wanna get out of here or not?
-I mean it.
Do not become that thing. [gasps]
[electricity crackling]
[both shouting]
[both grunting]
[both panting]
You saved me.
We're brothers.
That's just how it works. [sighs]
[Drew cries out]
Not anymore.
[yells]
[panting]
[Trent yells]
[dark music playing]
[crossbow loads]
No. Let them come.
As you wish, Your Highness.
[people yelling]
[Duke Bergan grunts]
[grunts again]
[soldier yelling]
[grunts]
-Manfred?
-Let's go!
Manfred!
What now? Bergan, what are your orders?
[somber music playing]
[pounding on door]
[fireballs whistling]
We run.
What?
The queen was right. [grunts]
We have to leave.
Prepare to evacuate the city.
Bergan, wait. Where are you going?
I made myself a promise. Remember?
One I intend to keep.
You remind me of home.
The night all this began.
It's all because of me.
Gretchen.
People don't get themselves kidnapped.
This was done to you.
Right. Because I'm the princess.
The one that everyone else has to save.
You're more than that.
Drew escaped.
Whitley's still alive because of you.
And I swear I will get you out of here.
Maybe I'll get you out of here.
Good morning, my bride.
I trust you slept well.
Stay away from me.
She's overwhelmed. Poor thing.
Still no sign of Trent?
-Huh. Your guard has failed you, Orsino.
-We expect him any moment.
And you will have front-row seats
at the Wolf's execution.
[gasps]
[growls angrily]
[Drew and Trent grunting]
[both panting]
[poignant music playing]
[Trent yells]
[Orsino growls]
Finish him!
[Trent panting]
-[dark music playing]
-[Trent shouts]
I can't.
We're brothers. That's just how it works.
[growls angrily]
Do something!
[suspenseful music playing]
[Gretchen wails]
Lucas, no!
[clicks]
[grunts]
-[gasps]
-Drew!
-[Trent cries out]
-No!
[Trent screaming]
[both grunt]
Hold on!
[Orsino growls]
You…
[Gretchen gasps]
-[Gretchen screams]
-No! Gretchen!
-No!
-[Gretchen screams]
[body thuds]
[Gretchen sobbing]
No!
Don't look so surprised, Princess.
You cross the prince, you pay the price.
You take this as a warning.
Never stand in my way again.
[closing theme music playing]
[music fades out]
-[mysterious music playing]
-[fire roaring]
[Drew] No, I am not leaving you again.
-What are you doing?
-I'm putting you first.
