Hup. Forward.

Where's my cart?

Has anyone seen my cart?

Roderick!

- Roderick.

What?

- The king wants to see you.

- Why?

- Princess has wandered off again.

- Pfft.

You gonna let her do that kind of thing

once you two is married?

When we're married, as far as I'm concerned,

she can wander off a cliff.

I have bigger plans.

Roderick...

... why do you think them monks

shave their heads...

... like that? Heh.

Is that so God can see into their brains?

That's what I like about you, Wicke:

Stuffed to the gills

with insatiable curiosity.

Now, that's a pity.

Oh, thank God, it's still here.

Close the gates to the city...

... take some men...

... and find that monk.

And by the authority

of the Lord High Constable of Cloister...

... this gate will remain closed

until I find what I am looking for!

I am looking for a thief!

If you ain't stolen nothing,

you ain't got nothing to worry about! You!

There! With the bald head!

Turn around, let me see...

- ... your face!

Enough! Bow!

Him! Oi!

On your knees!

Horse for sale.

Last chance, going for a great price.

He's a good horse for a cart...

- ... if you had one.

- I'll give you 10 coppers.

Ten? Really?

I'm on an urgent mission.

Life and death.

Yeah, all right, deal.

I don't have the money with me.

But there's money at the abbey.

I'm sure...

... you're an honest man. I'd much

rather sell Anser to a man of the cloth than...

... a butcher...

- ... but I can't afford to go home empty-handed.

- Of course. Of course.

You idiot!

I wanna see their baldy heads!

Which is why I'm offering you collateral.

Beans.

Not just beans.

They are holy relics, from a very...

... special time long, long ago.

They look like beans to me.

They are priceless...

... to the monks of Cloister.

Worth more...

... than 10 coppers. Whatever happens...

... you must bring those beans

back to the abbey.

Take them to Prior Puffin and tell him

that Brother Abel sent you.

- You'll get your money.

- Brother Abel, these are just beans.

Son, those beans have the power

to change the world as we know it.

Don't lose them.

And whatever you do...

... don't get them wet.

Stop that...

... monk!

Watch out!

You there! Stop!

Grab him!

Take him down!

Block the exit! Grab him now!

Stay where you are!

Don't move!

Hello, monk.

I'm sorry, Elmont.

Sorry for what, princess?

Well, I don't mean to make your job

so hard all the time...

... it's just sometimes,

I have to get out of here.

I don't ask for much...

... in return for all those years

I put food in your belly...

... clothes on your back,

a roof over your head.

So, what do I have to show for it?

Beans.

I'll take them to the abbey tomorrow
