Oh, never mind.

I promised Dallben

I would keep Hen safe.

I have to go.

- [Thunder Rumbling]

-Well, uh, are you coming ?

Me ? Go in there ?

Oh, no, no, no.

It's a terrible place.

Justas I thought.

You're no friend.

You're just

a miserable coward.

Here. This is all

you wanted.

[Sniffs]

If great lord go

into evil castle,

poor Gurgi will never see

his friend again.

Nope. Never.

[Thunderclap]

[Snoring]

[Snoring Continues]

[Continues Snoring]

[Snarling, Barking]

[Snarling, Barking Continue]

[Henchman] Shut up,

you thick-skulled dolt.

Always barking at nothing.

-All right,

might as well make our rounds.

- [Growling]

[Door Creaking]

[Men Chattering]

[Chattering, Laughing]

Here's to everybody!

More wine and meat

for my men!

-And more women.

- [Screams]

Quiet. I'm trying to sleep.

[Laughing]

- [Henchmen Cheering, Hooting]

- How about a kiss, princess ?

Gad, youre a lovely one!

-Come on!

- Here.

Keep your hands off,

you little creeper.

Going somewhere,

Creeper?

[Henchmen Laughing]

Kiss me, love, and I'll die

with a smile on my face.

[Eerie Howling]

[Electrical Crackling]

[Gasps]

[Laughing]

Welcome, Your Majesty.

We're just celebrating

our success.

Oh, I mean your success.

We've made no mistakes,

this time.

[Laughing, Panting]

Bring in the prisoner!

[Taran Whispers] Oh, no.

[Laughing]

There, sire.

This is the pig that creates visions.

[Laughing]

All right, pig,

show His Majesty...

where the Black Cauldron

can be found!

Go on!

Show it!

[Laughing]

Stubborn little thing, isnt she?

[Gasping, Laughing]

Yes, sire. You're quite right.

I'll take care of it at once.

The Black Cauldron.

Where is it?

-Show us, swine!

- [Gasps]

I warn you.

The King's patience is short.

No!

[Banner Rips]

[Henchmen Chattering]

Get him! The sneaking, no-good--

Get back, or I'll--

[Mumbles, Grunts]

Oh.

- [Chuckling]

-[Creeper] Release him.

What?

Well, here.

Hen Wen.

Oh, Hen Wen.

There, there.

I presume, my boy,

you are the keeper

of this oracular pig.

[Stammering]

Yes, sir.

Then instruct her

to show me...

the whereabouts...

of the Black Cauldron.

Oh, sir, I-I-I can't.

I promised.

Very well.

In that case,

the pig is no use to me.

[Creeper Laughing]

- [Hen Wen Squealing]

-What are you going to do ?

No! You can't!

-Don't!

- [Squeals]

[Taran] No! Stop!

I'll make her tell you.

That's better.

Now, get on

with the vision, pig.

Hen Wen, from you,

I do beseech...

knowledge that lies

beyond my reach.

[Laughing] Look! Look, sire!

It's working!

[Horned King Sighs]

The Black Cauldron.

So it does exist.

Go on.

Yes, yes.

Where is it?

Show me.

Show me.

- [Screams]
