Swan Princess, The : Far Longer Than Forever (2023)

Post by bunniefuu »

First my mother

and now your father.

They've both come back to us.

Yes.

I have so few memories.

Just flashes, really.

Catch and Fire is just

a king and a young prince

kind of thing.

[GIGGLING]

But I clearly remember,

he loved me.

[CRYING]

MAGNUS:

I'm so sorry I missed

Derek and Odette's coronation.

After all these years,

a new king and queen

in Chamberg.

Does King Derek know?

No. He knows nothing.

What don't I know?

Oh, dear.



UBERTA:

Derek, your father

was accused...

of trying to make a deal

with pirates.

[SOBBING]

Against the will

of the Council of Crowns.

Many believed

it nearly destroyed the Council.

I'm sorry I never told you,

Derek.

I thought Max deserved

to be remembered

as the great father

and king he was.

I don't believe it.

Let it rest, Derek.

It's too painful.

Mother,

do you really believe

that Father was making

a deal with pirates?

No, but--

Rogers, do you believe it?

No, I do not.

Then tomorrow,

when I go to take Father's seat

on the Council of Crowns,

we'll start

getting some answers.



Someone in that fortress

knows the truth about my father.

When I was a child,

our groundskeeper would say:

"It only takes a little smoke to

drive a gopher out of its hole."

Smoke them out. Right.

Can you believe

it wasn't too long ago

when your mother and father

were doing this same thing?

Yes.

Did I ever tell you about

the speech my mother gave?

No.

It was classic.

You apply the smoke,

I'll keep my eye

on their reactions.

King Derek and Queen Odette

of Chamberg.

Welcome to

the Council of Crowns.

Come, please.

Today, King Derek, as the new

sovereign of Chamberg,

I invite you

to address the Council.

Thank you, King Ivan.

I'll be brief.

Oh, you mean, he's not going

to invite his wife to speak?

Right. "Save the dogs."

[CHUCKLING]

Oh, dear.

I'm honored to be with you

in this historic room,

just as my honest father was.

Most of you

remember him as I do,

a great and loyal man.

I think he would want me to help

restore our image as a council

in which everyone

is treated fairly

and no one

is falsely accused.

Our image

needs no restoring.

And we have never

falsely accused anyone,

especially not

your double-dealing father.

King Edgar, we will not speak

badly of King Maximillian.

[GRUMBLES]

[METALLIC CLICKING]

I can't tell you

how pleased I am

to have Chamberg represented

on the Council again.

It is my great honor.

IVAN:

We have something in common,

King Derek.

My mother, like your father,

was chair of the Council.

You'll find paintings of all

the past chairs of the Council

throughout the fortress.

And my father's portrait?

IVAN:

Your father, famously,

would never sit for a portrait.

DEREK:

Oh, but we have one now.

We could loan it to you.

You don't say.

Well, I'll certainly bring that

up to the Council.

I think we saw

a couple of gophers

pop out

of their holes today.

Your groundskeeper

was a wise man.



[CARRIAGE CLANKS]

[GRUNTS]

Oh!

Are you all right?

Just think if that wheel came

off when we were down there.

It never would have.

Someone loosened it

so it would come off right away.

Just to send us a message.

Message?

"Don't even think about

investigating

your father's death."

Maybe we used

a little too much smoke.

Well, they're about to get more

'cause we're not going home.



[CHUCKLING]

My, aren't you

a mysterious couple.

Oh, why, thank you.

Ha, ha.

Do you have a room

available?

I believe I do.

Wait! Let me guess.

Room number nine?

[GASPS]

Who are you people?

Barrymore and Barrymore.

Traveling magicians.



Never again will I see some--

[EXCLAIMS]

Hey, Francine.

Guess who's staying

at my hotel!

No, no, no. No one can know

we're here.

Why?

Because while we're here,

we'll be working on magic,

the kind never seen before.

You don't say.

Tell me more.

There are people out there

who are constantly trying

to steal our secrets.

[GASPS]

Who are they? Spies? Aliens?

The only question

that matters right now is:

Can you promise

to keep our visit a secret?

[SHUSHES]

Shh.

Hey, Francine, never mind!

Just a couple of nobodies

from nowhere.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

We did it.

She really believed us.

Not bad for a couple

of nobodies from nowhere.

What do you say we drop

this king and queen thing

and do magic full-time?

[LAUGHS]

Sure.

What girl wouldn't want

to spend the rest of her life

getting sawed in half?

[IN UNISON]

We'd better get to work.

[GUNDERMAN HUMMING A TUNE]

World-famous magicians

Right here in my hotel

[COOS]

Are you spying on me?

Well, there's no need. I--

FRANCINE:

Hey, Gundi, what's the gossip?

I'm very aware

that I made a promise not to--

[INHALES SHARPLY]

Not to say a word.

FRANCINE:

You can't talk?

Laryngitis?

Sounds like...

Okay. Uh-- Sleep?

No, no, rest.

Sounds like "rest."

Guest!

You have a guest.

Dearie,

I can barely see you.

A cat burglar.

Your guest is a ghost.

Wh-what does that mean?

The Phantom.

What am I thinking?

I can tell people

the way I usually do

and still keep my promise.

[COOS]

DEREK:

I'm thinking him...

'cause this and that.

ODETTE:

But how would you explain that?

And this?

Hm.

You thinking

what I'm thinking?

If we're wrong,

we're accusing

the most powerful people

in the world.

And if we're right...

We're accusing the most

powerful people in the world.

We need help.



Mmm... Perhaps a tad bigger.

Yes, that's very--

Wow.

Aah!

That's a bit on the beefy side,

wouldn't you say?

[SCOFFS]

I'd say it's quite accurate.

Really?

What, you been looking

in one of those

funhouse mirrors?

It's a regular mirror.

What are you,

an art critic now?

Or have you come here

for a reason?

Oh, jeez!

Derek and Odette sent me.

They need your help.

Well, why didn't you say so?

Well, I was gonna, but then

all the muscles threw me.

Why? I've looked like this

my whole life.

No, no, no,

I was talking about the--

Whoa...

Never mind.



[GROANS]

I don't keep any money

in my booth.

[LAUGHING]

No, no, no, we're not robbers.

Just entertainers.

Magicians.

Oh. Whew!

We're working on a new

fantastical show

about how King Maximillian

mysteriously disappeared.

But we'd like to say our show

is inspired by real events.

So were you here

during King Maximillian's time?

No. That would have been

Clem Fleming.

"Old Clem," they called him.

Got fired.

Something about not reporting

something he saw.

I don't know.

He lives out

Periwinkle way now.

Kind of a hermit-y fellow.

All broken-hearted.

Poor guy.

WOMAN:

It's them, the Barrymores!

We love you!

What?

Please do some magic for us.

You're the greatest.

No magic today, ladies.

So sorry.

[SHOP BELL RINGS]

Welcome to Crispin's Accounting,

taking care of all

your accounting needs.

Is it no longer customary

to stand for a king?

[GASPS]

Apologies, Highness.

Sit.

You sit?

You stand?

How dare you?

Go ahead, spin.

Now bark like a dog.

Ruff.

Well, I think we've established

the power of a king.

[LAUGHS]

I understand

you are a collector of blades.

Hm...

Light.

It's fast.

But such a small blade.

A rapier, Highness. Heh.

Primarily for thrusting.

Nah.

I need blades.

'Tis a two-handed longsword,

Highness.

I know that.

[GRUNTING]

[CHUCKLES]

Ah...

A short sword.

It's a dagger.

Sorry.

Yes, a dagger.

Why didn't I think of that?

It sends the perfect message.

Sit.

How do so many people

know about us?

"Gunderman's Gossip.

The Barrymores are here."

[SCOFFS]

So much for keeping our secret.

Trouble at 12 o'clock.



What?

You must be Barrymore

and Barrymore.

So sorry, no time

for autographs.

No, no, I don't need

your autograph.

I'm a king.

But I do have a question

only you can answer.

Oh, uh...

Well, okay.

Let's say someone wanted

to make something disappear

so no one would ask

any questions about it.

How would one go about that?

Look! There they are.

Oh, you mean

something like this.

Yes. Exactly.

Magic.

Like that.

We love you, Barrymores!

Hello?

Hello?



Yes, madam, thank you very much.

In what room will I find...

the Barrymores?

[CHUCKLES]

Wouldn't you like to know.

I know you've come

to steal their secrets.

Madam, I am their manager,

A.J. Pennypacker.

And I am here

on urgent business.

Their room number, please.

Make it worth my while.

You give me something

about the Barrymores...

[CHUCKLES]

...and I'll give you

the room number.

Oh, all right. Uh...

He wears a size ten shoe,

and she's a six.

Six and a half,

depending on the style.

You need to do better

than that.

What are they like?

Are they rich?

Do they fight?

Yes, okay, they fight like

monkeys. Room number?

What do they fight about?

I-I don't know.

He's a flirt,

and she has a gambling problem.

He's a thief.

She has a wooden leg.

He wears a toupee.

Room number?

You told!

Well, I-I didn't say

what room you were in.

Not even your manager

could drag it out of me.

Hm... Your hair

looks real to me.

Are you completely bald?

And is it horses

you gamble on?

I-- I see.

Well, in fact, uh... Hm?

Hey, Francine.

I'm not bald,

and my wife doesn't gamble.

Thanks for nothing.

Rogers, I hope you brought

all your fancy spy gear.

I have brought something

even better.

You carry your dogs

in a suitcase?

No, those are my mother's

stuffed animals.

Made in the likeness

of her award-winning pooches.

This, That, and The Other.

In reality,

they are undercover spies.

Speed, Puffin, and Jean-Bob.

I've never been so humiliated.

No one will suspect

dogs of spying.

You know who else

they'd never suspect? A frog!

But if they see you,

you'll get smacked with a broom

and thrown out the window.

Good point.

Thanks for coming to help,

fellas.

[EXCLAIMS]

Okay, our first line

of inquiry,

Clem Fleming,

the old harbormaster.

We have a feeling he saw

something that night. Now--

[EXCLAIMS, CHUCKLES]

Oh, a clean house

is a happy house.

Oh! Eavesdropper!

So Clem lives somewhere in the

woods outside of Periwinkle.

PUFFIN:

I'm on it!

All clear.

DEREK:

A flying dog?

Well, even the best plans

have a little wrinkle.

[CHUCKLES]

Forgot your pillow chocolates.

Why, thank you.

She is going to be trouble.

Okay,

Speed and Jean-Bob,

find a way to get

inside King Edgar's house.

He clearly has something

he's trying to hide.

It's probably a bad rash.

It's way more serious

than that.

Oh, a bald spot, then.

How could the Council

be so sure

my father wanted

to negotiate with pirates?

Rogers, you were there

at the time, right?

Yes, but all I remember

is the grief we all felt.

There must have been

some reason they thought that.

Yes, there must have been.

Yes, yes, there was something.

William and Ivan came

to tell Uberta the sad news.

[GROANS]

He said, "I've known

many a good king,

but Max was

the best of them all."

And then there was talk

of-of Max's reputation, of a--

Of a tarnish.

WILLIAM [VOICE OVER]:

To tarnish Max's image

for one misstep

benefits no one.

Tarnish? How?

Did they overhear him

say something?

See him do

something?

Think, Rogers.

Maybe there was--

[GASPS]

His journal!

Journal?

They said they found

his journal. Proof!

And they swore

that no one would ever see it.

Where would you

hide a journal?

Oh, I think I know.

Okay, there's a room

at the Council, a secure room.

Yes, I saw it too.

Locked doors have never

really given me a problem,

but for this, I'll need

some living hands with me.

I'd be honored,

Scully.

Derek and Odette,

we'll take care of this.

You stay safe

right here.

King Derek and Queen Odette

as magicians?

This story

almost writes itself.

[GIGGLES]



I would like to pay you

to do a painting for me.

Actually, we would like

a painting for us.

As king,

it would be nice

if I could at least

say a few words.

Here's a few

you can say right now:

"My wife

will do the talking."

[GULPS]

Heh. I will allow my wife

to do the talking.

I want you to capture the moment

of my triumph over Queen Uberta,

when I destroyed

her perfectly planned coronation

for Derek and Odette.

Oh, boy!

You should have seen it.

Okay, you know what?

No more words for you!

Sound effects only!

But-- But I--

Uh-uh-uh-uh!

Sound effects only.

Click.

It must include my dogs

spoiling her glorious music.

[IMITATES TRUMPET FANFARE]

[HOWLS]

The falling of the banners.

[IMITATES CRASH]

The collapse

of the orchestra shell!

[IMITATES expl*si*n]

The ill-timed expl*si*n

of the fireworks!

[IMITATING

FIREWORKS EXPLODING]

Enough!

I'll do it.

You sure this is it?

SPEED:

Pretty sure.

Time to get inside.

[WHINING]

Hey, limping and whining

was my plan!

Sounds more like mooing.

People don't take in

injured cows, you know.

You got something better?

I've been whining all my life.

[WHINING PITIFULLY]

Looks like a lady's interested.

I told you.

Is she coming to get me?

Yep.

Shoo!

Speed! Help! Speed!

Are you the one

I heard whining?

[WHINING]

Aw. Come with Queen Venice.

He's as slow as a turtle.

The poor thing.

Ugh. Just keep him

out of my office.

You want a pork chop?

Not really. But okay.

"Be ready, my friend.

A merchant ship,

heavy with riches,

will pass in two days."

[GASPS]

Venice!

Come get your turtle-dog!



[PANTING]

[GASPS]

[GROWLS]

[SIGHS]



[GASPS]

A flying dog?

Oh. Hello, Clem.

Whoa.

Oh...

I can see

that might be alarming.

Ah, there you go, Clem.

A nice cup of tea for you.

I thought you were

a flying dog.

[LAUGHS]

Nothing of the sort.

Just a seabird

in a dog costume

who's come to talk

to you like a man.

Well, that's pretty weird too.

[SHUDDERS]

Oh, stay with me, Clem.

Whoa.



Speed.

I found the proof.

[SNORING]

SPEED:

We need the letter

he's sleeping on.

And by "we," you mean "me."

Uh-uh.

Yeah, you're right.

That desk is too high for you.

Seriously?

Oh-ho-ho.

Guess I was wrong.

Since you're there,

get the letter.

No way, Mr. Tricky Turtle.

Never mind.

It's too hard for you.

Oh, really? Watch me.

[GROANS]

I'm gonna throw you overboard.

You'll be fish food.

He's just dreaming.

Seems pretty real to me.

Good job, Jean-Bob.

Jump down. Let's go.

Oh. Are you sure

I can do it?

CLEM:

I feel like I got blamed

for the death of King Max.

They banished me to this forest

for not doing my job.

How did you miss

Max's ship leaving the harbor?

CLEM:

That's the curious thing.

I saw fire

and left my post to help.

Turned out it was just

an alley fire, set on purpose.

Just as I got back,

I saw Max's ship sailing out.

The Council,

especially King Edgar,

said I was just

making up excuses.

Well, you've been very helpful.

Whoa.

[THUDS]

Oh, well,

I'm almost offended.



[GRUNTS]

They should have made that

table a little longer.



"Taking a break from inventory

to use the castle lavatory"?

Heh-heh.

Now, that's cute. Yeah.

[DOORKNOB TURNING]

Click.



You start there.

I'll start here.

It's not here.

Are you sure?

I'll check again.

Nope, not here.

Maybe they destroyed it

after all.

[KNOCKING]

[SCOFFS]

Who are you?

I'm the new guy.

I-I don't know anything.

You'll have to come back.

Look, new guy, Queen Sophia

doesn't have time to wait.

She wants

the Bradley documents now.

Your patience

would be appreciated.

I don't work

at lightning speed.

I can't be pushed like this!

[SCOFFS]

Check the inventory log!

[IN UNISON]

Inventory log.

Ah.

"Agreements.

Bylaws. Financial.

Journals.

Lawrence. Lucius. Luther. Mary.

King Maximillian."

What, no location?

Nothing?

That doesn't mean

it's not here.

[KNOCKING]

I'm working on it! Please!

Get inside these walls.

[HOLLOW TAP]

Scully.

Something's there,

all right.

[GASPS]

His journal.

"I believe with all my soul

that I can help

the pirates see reason.

I cannot wait for the Council

or risk them saying no."

No. He negotiated

with pirates?

No. No! He didn't! Look.

It's a forgery!

I know Max's hand like my own.

He never made

these little flares on his F's.

Scully, Bradley documents,

please.

Found them.

Please don't mark the pages.

They're due back on the 19th.

Late fees apply.

These curly F's are the key,

Scully.

But finding the foul forger

won't be easy.

We must search everywhere

for a match.

Every posted notice,

every menu, every--

Tavern sign?

Yes, of course.

Every jot, every scribble,

every--

Tavern sign.

Yes, Scully, every tavern sign.

Every-- Scully! Look there!

Curly F's!

Ah.

Chance favors

the prepared mind.

[GROANS]

You wanted to see me?

Tiff Griffin himself,

I presume.

You want something?

It's just that I love

your sign.

Great.

May I ask who made it?

We don't like questions

around here.

Ah. Fair enough.

I want to know

who made your sign.

Isn't that still a question?

No, but that was.

It's time for you to leave.

But you haven't addressed

my statement

that was definitely

not a question.

There's the door.

And there's a window.

You looking for trouble?

Objection! Question!

What do you want?

Who made your sign?

I did.

Ah. Well, thank you.



I thought we would have heard

from someone by now.

I hope

they're all okay.

DEREK:

"Go home"?

How could they know who we are?

DEREK:

Shh!

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Aah! It's just me!

[SIGHS]

Someone knows we're here.

Oh, yes.

And I can explain that.

"King Derek and Queen Odette,

the great pretenders."

Oh, no. If Edgar reads this--

Oh, he's read it,

all right.

Him, the Council,

and everyone in this town.

But we're so close

to the truth.

You're sure the letters on this

man's sign matched this letter?

Oh, Tiff Griffin's your man,

all right.

That tavern's just a cover

for his forgery business.

Then let's go

and get his confession. Now.

It's too late.

First we've gotta prove

we're the Barrymores.

We might be able to fool

one or two of the Council,

but all of them?

What are the chances?

One in ten?

Oh...

I can't see a way out.

I can.

Maybe. Possibly. I--

It's risky.

Risks are

all we have left.

If we fail, your names will be

ruined, same as your father's.

Forever.

We're listening.

Well, you're the one

who called us together, Edgar.

What action

do you suggest?

[SCOFFING]

Is there even a question?

I-I don't think so.

Uh-- Is there?

I move that we expel King Derek

from this Council!

I was literally

just going to say that.

Obviously, betrayal

runs in his family.

Careful, Edgar.

This is, after all,

a gossip page.

And yet Derek's chair

is empty!

Where is he, if he's not

off posing as a magician

for who knows what reason?

Announcing Mister--

Yes, thank you very much.

I'll handle

my own introduction.

What is the meaning of this?

Apologies, all,

but sometimes

one must risk death

to put down a lie like the one

you now hold in your very hands.

Throw him out of here!

A.J. Pennypacker's the name.

And I can prove

that the Barrymores

are not King Derek

and Queen Odette.

And I know because...

I am the Barrymores' agent.

And to prove my point,

I give you none other than

the Barrymores themselves.

Greetings,

kings and queens so wise.

We call upon

Your wisdom now

And the vision you possess

If you doubt what's here

In front of you

Then put the Barrymores

To the test

We have all due respect

For King Derek

And Queen Odette

In honesty and virtue

They exceed

But when it comes

To trickery

Look no further than we

Open up your eyes and see

Imagine Queen Odette

Pulls a rabbit from a hat

It's sure to lack

A certain showman's style

There's only one position

It takes a real magician

To levitate

An oversized reptile

[BOTH EXCLAIMING]

So if you have

The misconception

We aren't exactly who we say

Ask yourself just one

Important question

When you're staring

At impossible

Face-to-face

With the incredible

Does it come as a surprise

When you just

Believe your eyes?

Only we can do

All the things

That will astonish you

You'll see

There's no disguise

When you just believe

Your eyes

Our final illusion...

Will end all confusion...

[IN UNISON]

About our true identity.

We'll give you

this clue:

It requires each of you

and the touch

of royalty.

Kings and queens,

place your royal hands

upon this sacred table.

Breathe in deep

and concentrate.

Clear your minds

and think of nothing.

Now close your eyes

and feel the power rise.

A power than can only come

[IN UNISON]

from the royals of the kingdom!

But wait! Your so-called magic

has failed.

See, their thrones are still

very much there.

Didn't they say that it

required only a royal's touch?

[LAUGHTER]

When you're staring

At impossible

Face-to-face

With the incredible

It comes as no surprise

When you just

Believe your eyes

Only we can do

All the things

That will astonish you

You'll see there's no disguise

When you just believe

When you're staring

At impossible

Face-to-face

With the incredible

It comes as no surprise

When you just believe

Your eyes

Only we can do

All the things

That will astonish you

You'll see there's no disguise

When you just believe

When you just believe

When you just believe

Your eyes.

Remove your mask.



Remove it,

or I will remove it for you!

Remove it, or I--

DEREK: Sorry I'm late.

[STAMMERING]

Huh?

Sorry, I kind of

stole your look.

Oh, yes, please,

apologies to your wife too.

[ALL LAUGHING]

Apologies, King Derek.

This lady almost got you

into a peck of trouble.

[CHUCKLES]

Since nothing we do today

will be as fun as this was,

I say we adjourn.

And tell Mrs. Gunderman

she is to collect every one

of her little gossip pages

before sundown.

And to you...

[CHUCKLES]

...bravo!

[WHISTLES]

Well, we really dodged an arrow

with that one.

[CACKLING]

It worked!

They didn't even notice

Pennypacker leave the room

during your performance.

High five. Low five.

Medium five. Full ten!

I don't know

how you did it,

but we both know

who you really are.

Well, no one will believe you

if you write about it again.

True. You've ruined

my reputation.

As a writer? Or as the woman

who spies on her guests?

That's called

"digging for facts."

Okay, how about this?

We're going to reveal the truth

about my father's disappearance.

When we do, you can be

the first to tell the story.

If you'll truly

keep our secret this time.

I want a guaranteed exclusive.

Deal.

ODETTE:

Let's not dance around

the subject, Mr. Griffin.

We need the help

of someone who...

has your particular

set of skills.

You see, the Frankenhoffers

stole our egg trick.

Your egg trick?

[QUACKS]

We worked too long on that to

have someone steal it from us.

We think the Frankenhoffers

should get a letter

from, say, King Ivan.

"Dear Frankenhoffers,

I am a patron of the Barrymores,

etcetera, etcetera."

We'll leave the threatening

language to you.

A letter from a king

isn't cheap.

Oh, money is not a problem.

Of course, we need to be sure

you can handle the job.

Family letters?

Farmers' deeds?

Nothing for royalty?

I don't think he's our man.

Good day, Mr. Griffin.

I've done a royal forgery

that would spin your head.

Ooh. Spin away.

We'd love to see it.

You never will.

No one will.

It's so good,

it was hidden away forever.

[SCOFFS]

Likely story.

Are you calling me a liar?

Well, who paid you

to do it, then?

King--

Go on. King...

I can't tell you.

Then we can't pay you.

And you're sure

Edgar wrote this?

Watched and heard him do it.

Good job, Speed.

Couldn't have done it

without my buddy.

Frankly, I wish you would have.

Listen to this.

"Be ready, my friend.

A merchant ship, heavy with

riches, will pass in two days."

He's working with pirates.

Yes. Exactly what he

accused my father of.

"Take the treasure,

but take no prisoners"?

Oh, the man's a traitor.

"And remember your promise,

half the treasure is mine."

Well, Tiff said

he was paid by a king

to forge your father's diary.

I think now we know

which one it was.

It's all coming together.

Oh, Clem said, on the night

your father sailed out,

a mysterious fire was set

to draw him away from the dock.

So maybe Edgar's pirate friends

stole Max's ship.

To make it look like

Max had sailed out on his own.

And the pirates probably

all had eye patches.

I just wanted to add something.

I think we know who did it.

Now we just

need to prove it.

Or get him

to confess.

Or get someone

to do his confessing for him.

I think I may know

just the man.

Welcome to Crispin's

Accounting,

taking care of all your

accounting needs.

Oh, good.

Because there certainly needs

to be...

an accounting.

Uh...

You'll have to come back

next week.

My, uh,

abacus is broken.

Oh, not a problem.

Because I'm looking

for a certain fellow

who learned his sailing skills

from a certain genius,

and then wasted his training

on becoming a pirate!

I don't know

who you're talking about.

It's him!



What?

You'll have to forgive

my partner.

He takes his work

very seriously.

What's this about?

I'll ask the questions here.

Well, sometimes she will.

We alternate.

The point is, you don't ask

the questions.

Hey, listen, I--

Hay is for horses!

You wanna talk to me?

My name is Mr. Smyth.

And this is Mrs. Smyth.

And that's Smyth

with a Y.

DEREK:

Right.

So you can tell right there

it's definitely not

a made-up name.

You see, in our job, Crispin,

you get hunches.

And our hunch says King Max's

ship was stolen by pirates.

That's got nothing

to do with me!

No? Where were you the night

King Maximillian disappeared?

Well, guess what.

I'm sure I was right here.

It was 30 years ago

this month.

So what?

You've only been

in business for 25.

You see, we think you were

sailing under the flag of, uh...

Captain Firebeard.

That's right.

Firebeard!

Admit it, you were one of

the infamous Firebeard Fellas.

No, not me!

ROGERS:

"I'm a Firebeard Fellow."

Stealing a king's ship?

People have spent their lives

in jail for less.

Okay, I was a Firebeard Fellow,

but I didn't--

[FABRIC TEARS]

"I helped steal

King Max's ship,

and all I got

was this lousy tattoo."

Oh, Crispin,

your mouth keeps denying,

but your body

keeps confessing.

Crispin, it's important that

you tell us everything you know.

I've lived

with so much guilt...

all my life.

Yes, I know.

We didn't just take

King Max's ship...

we took Max.

[BOTH GASP]

Why?

Because we didn't have a choice.

We were following orders.

What happened to my--?

I mean, to King Maximillian?

Oh.

You're Prince Derek.

King Derek now.

And Queen Odette.

This won't be easy to hear.

We dropped him in a small boat

and let the current take him

to Unscapable Island.

[GASPS]

No one has ever returned

from that island.

It's under

an ancient spell.

And the ship?

CRISPIN:

We blew it up...

[GASPS]

...then planted his journal

on the wreckage.

Who was behind this?

I promise, I don't know!

Only Captain Firebeard

can tell you more.

But, you know, I haven't seen

him since I left that life.

Try to find a map or anything

you can about Firebeard.

We'll keep Edgar occupied.

Got it.

Yes.

We were just out for a walk,

and this dog led us here.

We assumed he must be yours.

Ugh. No. But I'm glad

you stopped by.

That disappearing trick you do

completely fixed my problem.

Oh, uh... It did?

Yes. It's the main feature

in my next book.

Next book?

There they are! All 13!

I Was a Pirate Bride

by Edgar Rex?

Mm-hm. My pen name.

Here's my next one.

The Pirate Magician,

I'll call it.

Almost done.

Although last night, somehow,

I lost a page I was working on.

You didn't make it disappear,

did you?

[LAUGHS]

[CHUCKLES]

"Make it disappear."

Sorry, should have realized

it was just a book.

It's not your fault,

Speed.

We all got it wrong.

Well, technically, I didn't.

But I can see

why the rest of you feel bad.

Well, if it wasn't King Edgar,

who was it?

[KNOCKING]

I found Firebeard.

I told him I wanted

to join up again

and that I might bring

a couple new recruits.

Thank you, Crispin.

Meet me

at the harbor tonight.

I can't bring your father back,

but I can help you figure out

who's responsible.

Right, then.

If you're going to pose

as pirates,

we better get started

with your new faces.

Oh, no. Just me.

A pirate ship is no place

for a queen.

I'll be a queen tomorrow...

[IN PIRATE ACCENT]

...but a pirate today!

Do your best, Rogers,

ye master of disguise.

Sorry, Majesties, but no one

brings someone to Firebeard

without taking precautions.



What have we got here?

New recruits, captain.

Good ones!

Says you.

Name?

What friends I have

call me Big Nose.

[CHUCKLES]

Aye. They'd be lying

if they didn't.

Skills?

A plethora.

But bow and arrow

is me finest.

[LAUGHS]

If you hit one,

you're a Firebird Fellow.

Wh--?

[LAUGHS]

Huh?

Meet your new boss, men.

And this other creature?

You brought me a girl pirate?

Not just any girl.

Bad Sally.

[CACKLES]

Sorry, I'd walk the plank meself

before I took on a girl pirate.

Take her back, Crispy!

But, boss, we need a lady

to do a bit of stitching.

And we did throw

the last cook overboard.

What do you say to that,

Bad Sally?

Can ye cook and sew?

The only thing

I've ever stitched

was me own busted skull

once or twice.

And the only hungry mouths

I'll ever fill are the sharks'.

Never mind, boss,

we don't need no stitching.

Yeah,

I'm fine with dry bread.

Sorry, Bad Sally, the high seas

are for the brave,

not shivering girls.

[LAUGHTER]

Huh?

[LAUGHS]

By Jove,

Bad Sally's the bravest woman

on land or sea!

To me cabin.

So there she lay,

this fancy queen,

snoring her head off,

while Bad Sally helped herself

to her gold gleaming bracelet,

her sparkling necklace,

her glimmering ring,

and, yes,

even her shining crown.

You didn't.

She did!

[LAUGHING HEARTILY]

Yep, no one's made more off

royalty than my Bad Sally.

Well, as grand a story

as that may be,

I may have a better one.

Oh, here comes

a real whopper, then.

No, no, no. On my mother's

grave, this one's true.

You heard of King Max, then,

and how he disappeared?

Aye.

Not man or woman alive

don't know about the mystery

of King Max.

You want us to believe

that was you? Ha!

Not all me.

A bit of partnership,

you might say,

between meself and a certain

rival of King Max's.

Say on, then.

You see, me job

was to make it look like

good old King Max was cutting

a deal with us scurvy pirates.

So we kidnapped him.

Had to whip up

a little diversion

to get him out to sea,

but get him out to sea we did.

Tell my family I love them.

FIREBEARD:

We dropped old Max

into a little dinghy...

gave him a wee shove...

and let the current take him

straight to Unscapable Island.

[LAUGHS]

Pity, he seemed like

a good bloke to me.

Don't sound like

you needed no partner.

Aye, but I did.

'Cause after dealing with Max,

we att*cked

the harbor for show.

Old King Ivan made sure we were

safe from his mighty cannon.

'Twere all his plan,

from start to finish.

In exchange for our little

performance,

Ivan promised to get rid

of all me pirate rivals,

and that he did.

And that was the end

of old Max.

Steady, Big Nose.

Or should I say King Derek?

The name's Big Nose!

[LAUGHS]

You draw back your arrows

with the royal grip.

And let's just say, I know

too well the look of a man

who's come to avenge

his father's death.

And that makes you

Queen Odette.

And you a traitor.

After them!

Quick!

Here!

What are you doing? Get in!

PIRATE:

Get him! There he is!

Watch out!

Hey!

Crispin!

Long live Derek and Odette.

Come on!

For King Maximillian!

I do hope,

Uberta,

that you will enjoy

my little gift.

Well, if Magnus

was involved,

I'm sure it will be

quite splendid.

Just so.

May we both remember

this moment forever.

[GASPS]

It's... beautiful.

You gave me what I didn't get

that day...

the perfect coronation

for Derek and Odette.

Oh, dear Wixom,

I can't thank you enough.

I should have been the one

to apologize first.

Apol-- No.

I...

I'm so glad

we're going to be

friends.

We are?

If you will allow it.

I-- I think I'd like that.



WIXOM:

Magnus.

Thank you.

[GASPS]



Even I'm scared

and I know it's fake.

Ivan.

Maximillian?

Why did you betray me, Ivan?

You said we were friends.

What--? What do

you want from me?

The truth, Ivan.

The truth!

The truth?

The truth is, I was supposed to

be the next head of the Council.

Then here you come,

with your sickening acts

of mercy and compassion.

Sebastian was a fool

to choose you.

You stole my glory.

It was the perfect plan!

I'm glad I did it.

No one has ever

figured it out.

So out with you!

Out, ghost.

You have no power here.

Ivan.

Mother.

Oh, Ivan, you have

dishonored our family.

No, Mother.

I'm head of the Council,

like you were.

By deceit.

By evil means.

Confess your crimes!

[SOBBING]

Yes. Yes, I did it all.

I had Max kidnapped

and sent to Unscapable Island.

Forgive me, Mother.

Forgive me.

And scene.

[GRUNTING]

Get your hands off me!



"Gunderman's Gazette.

Real news."

Ugh. Sounds boring.

"A Gunderman exclusive.

King Ivan betrayed King Max!"

What? Give me that.

We both heard Rogers say it.

No one has ever returned

from Unscapable Island.

Tall tales.

My father deserves to be

buried in his own kingdom.

I know.

I have to go.

I know.

But I will come back.

I love you.

I know.

I love you.





DEREK:

We must be close.

I feel the current

pulling me now.

Derek, I just wanna say,

your father would be

so proud of you.

If the worst happens, Scully...

Count on me.

I'll be there for Odette

every day.

Thank you, Scully.

You've been a great friend.

[GASPS]

Derek. Derek. Derek!

Wh--? Derek!

[THUNDER CRASHING]

[DEREK GRUNTING]

[COUGHS]

[CRIES OUT]



I'm sorry, Odette.



[GASPS]

[GRUNTS]

Dad?

Derek?

I knew you'd come.

How could I not?

I love you, Dad.



[GASPS]

Apologies. I know,

it's a lot to take in.

Tell them we're safe, Scully.

I'll report back!

And send a boat!

I have a lot to tell you.



[SIGHS]

I wish I looked better

for your mother.

Dad, Mom doesn't care.

To her, you'll look

like a dream come true.

Sorry about this, King Derek.

What happened

to "family only"?

I don't know. Word got out.

[LAUGHS]



[CHUCKLES]

My Bertie.

As pretty as the day we met.

My heart is healed.

Oh. I've missed you so much.

DEREK:

Father?

This is Odette.

My queen.

My love.

My Swan Princess.

Wow.

My son has found an angel.

You have been a companion

to my widowed wife...

and a father to my son.

Thank you, my friend.

'Twas my greatest honor.

MAX:

"Our king lives."

Your Highness.

Welcome home, Cousin Max.

We're landowners now,

thanks to you.

And I a better man,

thanks to you.

Ha.

Crispin.

He survived.

Ah. Crispin.

Thank you for saving my son

and Queen Odette.

Please, forgive me

for what I did to you.

It was... It was cowardly.

We are friends, Crispin.

Forever.

[UBERTA CLEARS THROAT]

And you remember

my dear friend, Queen Wixom.

Really?

[CHUCKLES]

I obviously have a lot

of catching up to do.

Can you see

All the people beaming?

See their smiles

As your eyes meet theirs

And I

I never could have found peace

In this heart of stone

Without you here

Now you are home

Through your eyes

We can see how time passed

See the years

Have gone too fast

And yet it's like

You've always lived here

In our lonely hearts

From the start

Now you are home

You are home

Right where you belong

This is home

Let us celebrate in song

You are home, you are home

Now with you

We are all home too

I've loved you longer

Than time can measure

You're my greatest love

And treasure

With you

I'm home forever after

You are home

Right where you belong

This is home

Let us celebrate in song

You are home, you are home

Now with you

We are all home too



I humbly accept your desire

to return as the Council chair.

With the permission

of my son...

Lord Rogers will serve

as my assistant.

And as my wife is no longer

queen of Chamberg,

neither am I its king.

That honor falls

to Derek and Odette.

Their wisdom and goodness will

be an asset to this Council.

Now...

what's in the past

is in the past.

Let us set about

our work of peace and mercy.

When you disappeared, King Max,

I felt haunted

because I knew I'd...

Well, I'd never have the chance

to thank you for saving me.

I just made an opportunity,

that's all.

You saved yourself,

good Magnus.

Magnus, you have the most

important skill of a master.

You make everyone look better

than they actually do.

So you're saying

I don't look that good?

Well, you're in a category

all your own, my dear.

No artist, not even Magnus here,

could capture your beauty.

Nice save.

And as for you,

the Swan Princess,

Derek told me

the whole story.

But I can't wait

to hear it all again from you.

It will be my honor.

So there you were,

a swan and a prisoner!

And everyone

believed I was gone,

except your son, of course.

Good thing he inherited

his mother's determination.

And your courage,

Father.

May I call you Father?

MAX:

Yes, of course.

All the day long.

I love these people.

They're brave, they're funny.

They make you proud

to be royalty, you know?

Never mind. You don't know.



Far longer than forever

I'll hold you in my heart

It's almost like

You're here with me

Although we're far apart

[MAN]

Far longer than forever

As constant as a star

I close my eyes and I am

Where you are

Sure as the dawn

Brings the sunrise

We've an unshakable bond

[WOMAN]

Destined to last

For a lifetime

And beyond

[MAN]

Far longer than forever

[WOMAN]

Far longer than forever

[MAN]

Like no love ever known

[BOTH]

And with your love

I'll never

Be alone

[WOMAN]

If I could break the spell

I'd run to him today

And somehow

I know he's on his way to me

Derek, you and I were

Meant to be

Far longer than forever

[MAN]

Forever I'll hold you

In my heart

It's almost like

You're here with me

Although we're far apart

Far longer than forever

[WOMAN]

Far longer than forever

[MAN]

Like no love ever known

[BOTH]

And with your love

I'll never

Be alone

[MAN]

Far longer than forever

[WOMAN]

Much stronger than forever

[MAN]

And with your love

[BOTH]

I'll never

Be alone

Far longer than

Forever
