and rip out your heart.

(screaming)

Shh!

Gute Nacht. Herr Grimm.

(screaming)

Grimm!

Ik, ik, ak, ek, ek.

- What's going on?

- How can you speak in this language?

Every word is like an execution.

(inhales)

Benne. Benne.

Your horses are ready.

Avanti!

(sleepily) You've got a rope

tied around your foot.

Ciao.

- Run!

- Will! Will, wait!

- Never fear, Jake.

- (Jake) Will!

Will!

I shall return for you.

Nice try.

Hey, hey! Heagh!

Signore, with bounteous pleasure,

I, Mercurio Cavaldi, present to you

the renowned, the legendary,

the General Vavarin Delatombe,

the military commander of the kingdom

of Westphalia, formerly known as...

- No, no, no.

... Hesse.

Exactly what am I enduring here?

Can someone please tell me

who gave birth to this?

It's Bavarian blood sausage,

with sauerkraut.

I gutted the pig myself.

- I bet you did.

- (Cavaldi) Grimmy,

you are to have to stand trial

for subterfuge, theft,

and buggery.

I'm sorry?

For which the minimum sentence is...

- Death.

- (Will) Oh, no, no. Hang on.

- That's absolutely unnecessary.

- There's been a mistake here.

(both talk at once)

These country people, they believe things.

We do this just to test them for science.

(belches)

- Stop. Stop it.

- Ow.

No, no, no.

Are those... snails?

- Snails.

- Your friends have told us everything.

Everything except one thing.

Where are the children of Marbaden?

- What children?

- Nine cute little bambini gone! Vanished.

- We've never been to Marbaden.

- No.

Open up the cauldron.

- No, no. Wait, no!

- Wait, wait!

- I haven't done anything. Please.

- Please!

- (Will) By my honor I swear. I swear!

- We didn't do it!

Of course you didn't.

We have been observing you

for some time.

Cavaldi, stop.

Huh?

- Please.

- (groans)

No, he said stop it!

However, someone in Marbaden

is working as you.

Same talents, same tricks.

It is a thorn in my toe.

You pull it out,

I might be persuaded to offer you amnesty.

So you mean, if we work for you...

- That's right, Jacob.

... French?

Bien sr.

Go to Marbaden.

Unmask these villains.

Find the missing children.

(raven caws)

Hans, we have to stay

where we can still see the village.

Not if we're going to find the missing girls.

We're going too far.

Greta, nothing has ever happened

to anyone in daytime.

And in the very middle of the wood

was the witch's gingerbread house.

(owl hoots)

Hans!

(raven caws)

(gasps)

Hey! Come back!

(giggles)

Got ya!

Greta! Greta!

(giggles)

(man hums lullaby)

(ax is drawn)

(screams)

# Rock-a-bye Grimmies on the treetop

# When the wind blows the cradle will rock

(laughter)

# When the bough breaks

the cradle will fall
