Red Admiral, The (2025)

[bunniefuu]

A long time ago

there was a magical forest.

It was a peaceful place filled

with laughter and music.

Man and beast

lived in harmony.

Fairies and fauns danced

gaily in the moonlight

- until one day...

- Wait, wait, wait!

Are you not sick of cheapo

budget fantasy films

that take themselves

too seriously?

Whatever happened

to Dorothy melting

a witch with a bucket of water?

Let's rewind and do

that all again.

Keep it light, relatable

with lots of lovely

characters.

So go, do and do!

That's much better.

You! Stop eating

paper, alright?

I'll pay you

when you do the work,

but you never do the work, see?

I hate my job.

I really, really hate my job.

I bet he doesn't

even realize that

I haven't been listening

for 30 minutes.

I'm not thinking about

you, Mr. Boss Man,

I'm thinking about

my Chicken Pad Thai

for dinner

and the Danish in my bag.

Yep, yep, sure thing, Boss.

Keep talking.

Blah, blah, blah, blah...

Business

really isn't good.

We have to think

outside the box,

sell more of our product.

Uh, yes.

It's a tough market

for our product,

but things will get

better in time.

Surely we just gotta wait.

Well, it's exactly that sort

of "blazed" thinking

that has put us in

this sort of position.

You mean "blas"?

Alright, go home and come back

with a list of new ideas

that we can try.

I can't come up with all

the ideas on my own, alright?

Do we both have

to write a list?

Yes, Terry. That's one

list from each of you.

Just so we're clear, okay?

Okay.

I want to see structure,

with detailed analysis,

and no less than 1,500 words.

Sounds like you're

describing an essay.

Zip it! Out.

-I'll see you tomorrow.

-Alright then.

I'm out, ladies.

Terry and Dave!

Every single time.

Same story with these guys.

Catch you tomorrow, Dave.

See you, Terry.

Take care getting home.

I live just around the block.

Be careful anyway.

Thanks.

You too.

Are you hungry?

What do

you mean am I hungry?

Of course I am, I'm homeless!

Sorry. Would

you like my Danish?

Bye now.

Enjoy the food.

This is Terry.

What the... hell?

He is

the hero of this story.

You'll never find me, Terry!

I'm the narrator!

I'm only heard, never seen.

Leave me alone.

You can run

all you want, Terry,

there's no escape.

I said you can run

all you want, Terry!

I'm not running just

because you tell me to.

Aww. Come

on, I'm not a joke.

La, la, la, can't hear you.

Yes, you can.

Nope.

- Excuse me, can you let me...

- Nope.

Can you let me pass?

Terry, you've been chosen.

Follow me

and fulfill your destiny.

-What?

-Follow me

-and fulfill your destiny.

-Oh, no.

There's um, there's someone

I can call for you?

-Do you need help?

-You would so blatantly

ignore your destiny like that?

You don't even care

that I know your name?

He doesn't

mean it, Beth.

What he meant to say was

that he is overwhelmed

with curiosity.

It's not every day

that a wizard

offers to show

you your destiny.

Leave me alone, you fruitcake!

Wherever you are,

whoever you are!

Okay, listen to me, Terry.

The town, it's in danger.

The k*lling won't cease until

the Red Admiral is stopped.

This is your destiny.

I already have a Destiny.

She's at home waiting for me.

I'm not interested

in lumping dress up

or whatever it is

you're doing out here.

So please, let me pass.

Besides, this isn't

even considered a town anymore.

It's a ward, you nut job.

Well, you leave

me no choice, Terry.

What the hell

just happened?

We're in the forest

on the edge of town.

We took a shortcut

down the rabbit hole.

There's a forest

on the edge of town?

Yes, now we must not delay,

there's so much to do

and so little time.

This looks like heather bush.

It's the only local forest

of plant plantation.

Carbon capture from exotics

is actually surpri--

Look, don't worry

about that right now.

What you need to know is that--

Okay, Ruth?

Beth.

Beth. Sorry, Beth.

How'd you even get me here?

I really didn't

want to come along.

I'm a wizard.

Yeah, I need to get to Destiny.

- Destiny?

- I need to get home

-to my girlfriend, Destiny--

-But no.

No, okay, your destiny is

to stop the Red Admiral--

Now--

I'm gonna

be a bit late, yeah.

Some mental person dressed

like a wizard tricked me.

Yes, I guess if it's a woman,

she'll take me and be a witch--

- Okay, okay--

- She's adamant,

she's adamant

that she's a wizard.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay.

Okay, okay! Fine!

Hey.

No, don't have--

Okay, okay, okay.

I love you, I love you.

See you soon, bye.

Look, I'm not sure where I am,

or how you managed

to get me here.

Can you point me

in the right direction

so I can get out of the forest?

Come on, tell me

how to get out.

At this moment,

the pair realized--

- There you are!

- No! No!

Don't get angry

at him! Terry!

You were chosen

by a higher power.

You can't fight it!

Who?

The wise one!

The wise, wise one?

Bell. He looked

at your CV

and thought you would

do a good job.

Who's Bell

and how did he get my CV?

My boss. You don't--

you don't remember

applying for the job?

I did a reference check

with your old boss Steven.

-Hi, is this Steven?

-Yes.

I'm ringing about a former

employee of yours, Terry?

-Yes.

-Any good?

-Yes!

-Thanks.

Ah, well... I want

to talk to your boss.

He's working

from home today.

Why does it matter?

You can't just connect someone

down a rabbit hole

-and force him to work for you.

-Yes, we can!

Look...

His wife is unwell,

she's got vanishing sickness.

So he's gotta take

care of the kids,

school drop-offs,

that sort of thing.

He's very busy and very

irritable at the moment.

Cut it out!

Cut it out!

Please, Terry.

- I need your help.

- Terry was scared.

He searched deep inside

himself for the courage

he would need to confront

the Red Admiral--

Shut up!

Hey, there's no reception

for Google Maps here.

So the only way

to get you out...

is if you help me.

You help me and I help you.

Capisce?

Fine.

-Great!

-Great.

Okay, first things first,

we need to get you changed

into something

more appropriate.

-No, you don't.

-You ready? You ready? Go.

This is ridiculous!

Everything

you could ever need

to stop the Red Admiral, Terry.

I know this was

a really hard decision

for you, Terry!

Actually, I had no choice!

It's like going

to a restaurant, okay?

And you're trying to decide

whether you get the Pad Thai

like you always do,

or you try something different.

But what if the different

thing that you've tried,

you don't like, and you've

wasted all this time and money

coming to a restaurant

to have a terrible meal?

But I swear to you, Terry,

this time you won't regret

trying the Chicken Lob Guy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

What do I do with it?

Just--

Pocket.

Where'd it go?

My Percocet!

Bypass is a real game changer.

You don't even have to go

through Hamilton City anymore.

It really made

them more central.

A lot more central.

Oh!

Shall we talk about

the weather instead?

Can you tell me more

about the Red Admiral

and why we have to k*ll it?

If we can, I'd like to avoid

k*lling the Red Admiral,

but yay, I'm glad

you're finally engaged

with the adventure.

I thought the whole point

of all this is to k*ll it.

The Red Admiral should

be stopped, yes,

and ideally we do so

without k*lling it.

And? Are you gonna tell me

who the Red Admiral is?

It's not a matter

of who, but what.

It is a fearsome creature,

beautiful, yet really,

really scary.

For one of them to become

so violent, it is unusual,

and it's caused quite

a disturbance on the Ether Net.

And I've got to find

out why to prevent others

from becoming so violent.

-"Ethernet?" Really? Come on!

-No, no.

"Ether Net." it is

a magical net,

unseen to the human eye.

Keeps all

the Lepidoptera contained.

I can already tell this is

gonna be a huge waste of time.

Without the Ether Net intact,

the mortal world can

be severely impacted.

Who knows what might

be unleashed into town?

Lions? Tigers, bears,

to say the least?

And I'm not even talking

about the grizzly kind.

I'm talking about the hairy,

g*y kind.

-Oh, my!

-If there are mammals

being introduced

to New Zealand, shouldn't

the Department of Conservation

be made aware of it?

That's not important right now.

What?

Destiny decided that--

What do

you mean "Destiny"?

Are we or aren't

we meant to be a team?

Yes, sorry.

- We decided that--

- Stop apologizing.

Right.

We decided

that our relationship

could be greatly improved

through counselling,

that way I can speak

to a professional

- about my problems?

- All your problems.

Yes, all my problems.

That way we can come

up with a solution

on how I can improve.

Can I be

honest with you too?

I couldn't agree more!

From the three seconds

that I've known you, Terry,

it's clear you have

lots of issues!

Let's discuss

some of them, shall we?

As we go along, maybe you come

up with solutions.

He hardly does

any work around the house.

That's appalling!

Let me make a note: "Terry

needs to do more chores."

- What's next?

- He's a lazy lover.

Wow! Just wow!

...what said.

Hold on a second.

I'll just make another

note: "Lazy lover."

Tell me more.

He says I'm bossy,

he snores, he smells,

he says that I can't have

my dolls on my nightstand,

I have to keep them

in the closet

because apparently

they freak him out,

he talks to other girls

when we go out,

he has friends that are girls

and I'm not allowed

to have my friends over

because they're rude

to him apparently,

and he says

they're a bad influence on me.

I, I--I don't like

any of his clothing.

He--Like, he probably--

He probably sleep walks,

So I, I don't know

what to do anymore.

I give up.

It's

clear that Terry

is one of the worst

human beings

I've ever had the misfortune

of working with!

Do you think there's any errors

you could work on, Destiny?

No, I think I'm okay.

Yep, that's

pretty much spot on.

I'm trying my best!

I'll be home as soon as I can.

You're very good with phones,

are you, Terry?

Would you care for some tea?

Who are you supposed to be?

I'm Chris, the Mad Hat.

See, I'm wearing

my hat sideways,

that's a bit mad.

I mean, wearing a suit

in the bush is probably

a lot madder than wearing

a sideways snapback,

if I'm honest.

Hey, you.

Got a wedding to attend?

Maybe a job interview?

Perhaps a funeral?

Or maybe you've been

charged with murdering

your b*tch ex-wife after

she "threw" herself

in front of your car

and you had to press forward?

Come on down to Hallenstein's,

home of the $120 suit.

Don't just take

my word for it,

hear what this scumbag

has to say.

It's great.

Whether I'm at home

or at work hosting

tea parties off the grid,

I always wear Hallenstein's.

Hallenstein's.

Whether you want formal

wear or street wear,

there's something for you.

But let's be real

for a second,

you can't afford

farmers or barkers

and you're too

embarrassed to shop

for collared shirts at Kmart,

so you settled and decided

to shop here,

just like you settled in

your relationship

and your job.

Yeah, I'm looking at you.

Time to add clothing

to the list.

I thought

I was the narrator!

Yeah, I'm a scumbag.

What a strange individual

to encounter in the forest,

though, Terry.

Perhaps he might be able

to aid me in my quest.

Do I have to repeat

what you just said

to Lunatic Hat?

Well, frankly, Terry,

I shouldn't have

to tell you any of this.

I'm on a quest

to stop the Red Admiral.

Is there any way

you can help me?

The Red Admiral?

You mean the one

that's gone feral?

I think you would be wise

to leave such matters alone.

Go on, leave the forest--

Well, you heard the man,

time to go.

-Come on, Beth.

-No, please, Mad Hat.

-That's Mr. Mad Hat!

-Okay.

Sorry. Mr. Mad Hat.

That's Mr. Mad Hat!

Okay, if you have

anything to share with us,

anything that will help us,

it would be

very much appreciated.

They're blackmailing me.

I don't wanna be here.

I accidentally applied

to this job without realizing

what it would entail,

and they kidnapped me.

Well, there is one thing

I can offer you.

What is it?

Why, this is a jar of dirt.

Want to hear

my Jack Sparrow impression?

-Sure!

-No.

"I've got a jar of dirt!

I've got a jar of dirt!

I've got a jar of di--"

- It's good, right?

- It was okay.

But--

Just forget it!

I don't mean to make

you upset, Mr. Mad Hat.

Chris!

Gross!

There is a heart

in the jar of dirt,

just like "The Pirates

of the "Carib-bean."

"Carib-bean?" "Bean?"

Does it matter how you say it?

Terry is right,

it's definitely pronounced

"Carib-bean."

Okay, let's keep going.

Yes!

Here, hold my f*g, sweetie.

Mommy's going to get a latte.

I'm coming

as quickly as I can!

Shut up.

I told you, she's the wizard.

Never mind it, is

there anything else

I need to get

from the supermarket?

How many times--How many times

do I have to tell you this?

You can't buy

strawberries if they're

not in season.

You have to get them

in a can or something.

Alright.

Look, I'm hanging out, bye.

-Wanna talk about it?

-No.

Maybe it's

the Red Admiral?

Don't be stupid,

butterflies don't

sound like that.

Right. Wait, what?

Can I help you?

We were just passing

through and couldn't help

but notice

your stirring performance.

Well, I am a bard,

I know what I do.

Don't bards usually sing?

My audiences tend

to be blind and or deaf.

So, if your performance

is to blind people,

they can't see you.

Actually, all my performances

are available in Braille. So...

Are you aware

that the Red Admiral

has been sighted

in these parts?

Make it stop!

I am, but I'm just not afraid.

I feel like the Red Admiral is

no match for my sheer optimism.

Make it stop!

I like your attitude.

I'm Beth, I'm a wizard

and that is Terry,

he's a bricklayer.

Well then, actually,

that wasn't very clear.

I don't know what I do,

but we make a product.

- What's your name?

- I'm Kathy.

Well...um...

sorry, you just have

to excuse Terry's mood.

He's feeling

pretty down recently.

-Relationship.

-That's not true.

Would you like to join

us on our quest

to stop the Red Admiral?

I'm sure Terry can

really benefit

from your positivity.

Isn't that right, Terry?

No, I just wanna go home.

Maybe the reason why

all the doors are closed

is so that you can open one

that leads you

to the perfect road.

I'd love to join you, Beth.

I am so excited

to join this team,

I think there's

a great dynamic here.

Beth with her wisdom

and Terry with his--

his muscles.

It's gonna be great. I think,

I think what I'm gonna

bring to this team

is the glue, you know?

Like, the moral support.

It's gonna be fabulous.

Excellent, okay...

Let's get on

with the quest, shall we?

By the way, I think

he's gonna really

-benefit from your positivity.

-Hey, Terry.

Enough with the sniggering.

A valuable addition

to our company,

thought, Terry.

I said

enough with the ,

what's wrong

with the word?

Okay, now you're

making it sound

like I said the *-word.

-Excuse me.

-Don't look at me like that!

This is ridiculous.

I didn't say anything bad!

I said Not "n*gg*r"!

Kathy, please.

Please, please,

some water, please.

Why don't

you drink this?

It's ginger beer.

That's not ginger beer,

that's ginger ale!

Sorry, I'm totally zoned out,

which trail we're going?

I'm following you.

But I've been

following you.

Look here...

Are you kidding me?

How am I supposed

to know where to go?

You're the wizard! A wizard!

That's who you are!

This is ridiculous!

Do your job.

Oh my God,

he is so hot

when he gets angry.

Have you ever heard of

the Bechdel Test before, Kathy?

-No.

-Hmm.

Yeah, well, you're not helping

with comments like that.

What do you mean?

You know,

the three-question test

that measures female

representation in movies.

Are there more than

two female characters?

Do they talk to one another?

And do they discuss

anything other than men?

I see.

Well, in that case,

if I can't talk about men,

are you seeing anyone, Beth?

-Um..., well--

-Would you like to be?

You know what I just realized?

If these two female characters

were discussing

the Bechdel Test during a film,

then wouldn't that conversation

satisfy the test in itself?

Good grief!

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Oh, sh*t! She got you good.

I hate this place.

I hate it!

This is not fun!

Do you think it's funny?

Stop making fun of me!

You're lucky

you're a woman!

I'm having fun.

Oh, okay, good.

- Hey! Let's go!

- Okay, Grumpy!

Come on, mate, get up.

You got hit pretty hard.

Time for a concussion test.

- Okay.

- If the base

of the right-angle triangle

is five meters

and the height is three

meters,

then what is the length

of the hypotenuse?

I don't know off

the top of my head.

It's

34 meters, you idiot.

No it isn't.

Pythagoras Theorem

states that the square

of the hypotenuse is

equal to the square

of the other two sides.

So you need

the square root of 34.

What is it, Terry?

-Is it another ghost?

-Better not be.

She looks

more like a geisha to me.

Never mind,

it's just an octopus.

Because that makes

a lot of sense.

-Octopuses are--

-"Octopi."

-Sorry. Octopi--

-Octopi,

octopuses are both acceptable.

Is it saying something?

Uh... He says it's nice to meet

us and his name is Aaron.

And he's asking

if... we're a fellow Mormons.

Nice to meet you, Aaron.

I'm Beth, Terry, Kathy.

We're not Mormons,

though, so...

He's asking

if we'd like to party.

Oh, I'd like to party!

And if we're willing

to accept Joseph Smith

as the prophet of God. No, no.

So strange to see a fire

in this time of year

for our heroes.

I hope whoever lit

it has a valid permit.

Exactly!

That's definitely

my biggest concern.

Not bad, how are you?

Um, we didn't ask how you were.

I'll handle this.

Hi, how are you?

Maybe I have,

maybe I haven't.

I'm Beth.

Terry, Kathy. Have you seen

the Red Admiral in these parts?

This, this isn't a fire.

I don't need

a permit for a pipe.

That wasn't my question.

Sorry,

do you have a permit?

Thanks, Aaron.

I want him to laugh

because of the ratings. Okay.

Okay, we don't have

time for this.

Well, if you will then,

I'll join you.

Come on, Terry, he's not gonna

respond to you like that.

Come on, Terry,

you have to ask him.

Please, Al. Join us.

Yeah, that's better, yeah.

I think this team is

coming along real nicely.

Oh!

We need a group name.

More importantly,

we need a '90s...

-No, no.

-...sitcom...

-...intro.

-Yes!

Beth?

Beth!

-Beth!

-Yeah?

We don't need a name,

and we don't need

a '90s sitcom.

Alan, but you can call me Al.

Ah, now I get it.

He answers

before the question.

That was confusing.

Seal repair? We're near a road.

Catch you later, losers!

I'm going back to civilization.

Have fun hunting

a grumpy butterfly!

Have fun!

Come back!

I just feel like he doesn't

really care about anybody

other than himself, and it's...

Sorry, I just--I can't

do this right now.

Don't worry, Kathy.

He doesn't even know

what seals repairs are!

Where?

Look here. We're

human right now.

Alright? It's not too bad.

It's an actual seal.

Get me out!

I'm just kidding.

Seals don't have radiators.

Yeah, yeah.

Have you ever tried,

um, blubber sausage?

I mean, I can get some

from work today if you want.

Let's go. Not your problem.

Thanks for bringing my net out.

A minor setback for our heroes,

but not enough to stop them

in their quest

for the Red Admiral.

Yeah! Good, come on!

- A seesaw! We have a seesaw!

- Yeah! Hurry up.

Okay.

It was the Red Admiral.

-It's the Red Admiral.

-Great!

Time to get this over with.

I'm starting to think

that this adventure

is worth it.

Don't be so easily fooled.

I've never seen one look

so foul and monstrous.

Come on, really?

She's fanged.

Okay, I take that back.

-What do we do?

-Stay very still.

Well, that was a letdown.

I didn't expect it

to be that simple.

Red admirals, they...

they prefer to pick off

stragglers.

It's very rare

for them to confront a group,

it's becoming very bold.

Where's, where's Al?

Oh, no, we've lost him.

Find him quick, let's go.

That sounds like a bad idea,

you just said the Red Admiral

-likes to pick off stragglers.

-Well, when you find him,

call out and we'll regroup.

Fine.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

-You don't get to join in.

-Awww!

I said no head shots.

- Sorry, man.

- You always do this!

- Come on.

- No, I've had enough.

- Come on.

- No. f*ck you!

Let me go!

Hey!

A four-leaf clover!

-Stop it!

-You stop it!

- Stop this!

- Cut it out! I took mine off!

Well, I can take mine off

and we'll be even.

I'm not falling

for these signs again.

Found him.

I didn't go anywhere.

I'm in a sleeping bag,

what did you expect?

I can't keep up!

Then I got a temperature.

Oh, yeah? Why did you go?

Well, wouldn't you?

The economy being

the way it is.

Actually, I don't know

the question for that one.

Help.

Tell Emily that I love her.

- Will you lie to her?

- Yeah.

- Will you?

- Yeah.

That's so confusing,

there's no sign of injury.

What's this?

That's his pipe.

Powerful elixir. Maybe it'll

help us in our battle.

No, I think it's just weed.

Oh, no. Where's Kathy?

Yeah, this is worth it.

Let's go that way.

Over here! He's okay!

It's Aaron.

Kathy.

She's dead.

Oh, lame. I really

started to like her.

The Red Admiral really

had it out for her.

Jeez, look at the state of her.

The snail got off easy.

I think it was

meant to be a caterpillar.

The Red Admiral

must have slashed

her throat and she died.

And stabbed her stomach,

broke her bones,

pulled out her teeth.

Jeez, she even made

her drink ginger ale too.

Hey, I get it now.

Ether--Eth--

Cut it out, Aaron.

Jesus!

"Ether Net,"

because of the butterflies.

That's pretty good.

"Ether Net."

You were right, Terry.

We shouldn't have split up.

-Wasn't the narrator with you?

-Nope.

Hopefully he's dead!

I'm still alive!

Not for long.

Aaron. Aaron,

Aaron, cut it out.

Cut it out, stop.

We can still do this,

their deaths will

not be in vain.

Yes, they will.

And when did you become

so negative?

When you wished me dead.

What did you have in mind?

Um, can you conjure

something for me?

Yes.

Well, there's a size

and weight restriction,

and ideally it has to be

in a box or cylindrical.

That's all I need.

Just give

up already,

I hope you all suffer

horribly.

Why is there

Chicken Pad Thai, you idiot?

This will never work.

You have

to be brave once in a while.

It's not for me,

it's to lure the Red Admiral.

Nobody's that adventurous

the first time

they go to a Thai restaurant.

You always order the Pad Thai,

because that's

what everyone likes,

and if the Pad Thai is good,

then they'll order other

things on the menu!

Aaron!

Aaron!

Cut it out!

Stop, please!

Aaron!

I think I have a better idea.

Fine. I've got sh*t on my face.

What the--? That tickles!

- Stop, stop, stop!

- Found you!

Ah.

Gotcha!

Yeah, yeah, you're mine now.

Hey! Creepy Crawley! Let's go!

Take me out on a date first

before we start

revealing clothes.

Whoa, I mean, this ain't

that type of fight?

Want some water?

Want some water? Yeah?

In my mouth. Mouth.

You're gonna get her.

You're gonna get her

real good, yeah?

You got this, you got this.

-Yeah.

-Rub my face.

Yeah, that's enough!

Yeah, you got this.

Everything is

on your shoulders.

You got this, you got this.

In my mouth, man!

Water.

-You're gonna win this fight.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

You'll win this fight,

you're wet.

You're ready. You're ready.

-More water!

-You're pumped up.

-More water!

-You're pumped up.

To me!

Let's get this over with.

And now...for a series

of totally unrelated

government-sponsored videos.

The Department

of Conservation.

Here in New Zealand

many of us enjoy

an active outdoor lifestyle.

Fishing and hunting is

part of our DNA,

and if we want

this to be available

to future generations of Kiwis,

then it's important

that we all start adopting

some more sustainable policies.

The Tongariro.

If you're fishing one

of our wonderful rivers like

the Tongariro, then consider

practicing catch and release.

Rather than catching

fish to eat,

try torturing them instead,

and then placing them

back in the river

when you're done having

fun at their expense.

There's no reason

that the same policy

cannot be applied to hunting.

If you catch an animal,

quickly take a selfie

for your Tinder or Bumble

profile picture.

And then let them go.

Remember, we've all got

to play our part.

So get out there

and traumatize some fish.

Kick them!

And now a message

from the Department

of Annihilation.

Nicely done.

How about some

video... clarifying

the Inland Revenues

jurisdiction?

Ah, dammit!

Don't worry.

The Office of Revenue

Department will get her.

Or the Department

of Condensation.

The Department

of "Condensation."

Yeah, not bad for a woman.

Ashton!

Sexist b*stard!

-Come on!

-You know the rules!

That wasn't

even that far.

You guys are boring.

No more stupid

common parody videos!

No!

You idiot, she was about

to tell us something.

Hey, I held back.

You can't blame me.

Stop that. Stop that,

you disgusting octopus!

Can't he have this one?

I'm still not really sure

what that guy's all about,

but I'm a fan.

We'll never know, we'll

never know what enraged her so.

If the Ether Net remains weak,

others may turn too, you know?

The way she did.

"What a fool I am"

thought Terry

to have come so far

through so many trials,

only to leave with more

questions than answers.

I'm still alive.

I hope you don't mind,

I k*lled the narrator.

No, you didn't.

He didn't add any value

to this adventure anyway.

To be fair, Beth,

if the doctors

don't practice

catch and release,

they stick their specimens

up on their wall.

So on balance, I don't

think we did too poorly.

Well, I didn't.

Look at this.

-It's a honeypot.

-Yes.

Do you know what this means?

No, not really.

Bees. They've been declining

in these parts

for some time now.

Do you realize the ecological

consequences

when the bee

population declines?

It could be devastating.

No wonder this Red Admiral

became so enraged.

Come on, we didn't go

through everything

just to give some far-fetched

environmental warnings.

I don't know if you are

aware of this,

but butterflies are

pollinators too.

Without the bees,

this Red Admiral's workload

would have been immense.

So, a butterfly went

on a murderous rampage

because the workload

was too high?

Come on.

-Precisely.

-Really?

I know exactly

what I have to do now.

What?

Enroll in an apiary course

at MIT next semester.

It's time to bring the bees

back to this forest.

Well, you don't need

me for that then.

Can I go home now?

Yeah. You get to go home.

Are you casting a spell?

Oh, no. I have

carpal tunnel on my wrist.

Oh. So, you don't have

a spell to get us out?

No, I think it's just that way.

You know what?

You're unbelievable.

Getting me to fight

your own battles

for some stupid

environmental message.

If you don't drop me off now...

you're gonna be like

that butterfly.

Pretty good

outcome, I'd say.

A bit of a letdown,

but not bad.

Oh.

Can you do something

about my clothes?

And I need help writing

a list for tomorrow.

I can help with the clothes.

Just click your heels

together three times.

Uh, really?

I'll do it.

Thanks!

Hey, don't take

this the wrong way,

but I never ever, ever,

ever wanna see you again, okay?

Okay, then.

-Where have you been?

-Hey.

Did you get the strawberries?

No, let me explain.

-Beth and I, she was--

-Who the hell is Beth?

Uh, she's a wizard. Like, she's

not a very good wizard,

but she works

for a guy named Bill.

She took me in the forest,

we caught a butterfly,

and she brought me back.

She was right here

a second ago.

Like, she was right there.

Like, right there,

she's a wizard!

She was right there

a second ago, right?

I'm not lying to you!

What the f*ck?

What is wrong with you?

I've been waiting

here for hours!

If you're gonna go

f*ck any girl,

then please don't lie about it.

What are you

even talking about!

After his

perilous journey,

Terry thought he would never

hear of the Red Admiral again.

But he would soon learn

in time that the scars

from his journey

would haunt him

for the rest of his days yet.

Why don't

you drink this?

- It's ginger beer.

- Go home

and come back with a list

of new ideas that we can try.

Ah!

I said no head shots!

Really, really

haunted.

-This house full of weirdos.

-Tell me about it.
