1. Look, Mum.
The woffs are migrating.
Copy !req
2. Beautiful.
Copy !req
3. Hilda, I've been thinking
about those threats.
Copy !req
4. I'm working on that.
Copy !req
5. I know, but all this trouble
has made me think
Copy !req
6. how we're the only people for miles
in this whole valley.
Copy !req
7. But that's what I love about it.
Copy !req
8. But wouldn't you like to have
some other kids to talk to?
Copy !req
9. I have myself to talk to, and Twig.
Copy !req
10. Let's take a little trip into Trolberg
tomorrow and look around.
Copy !req
11. - Mum, no!
- All I ask is that you keep an open mind.
Copy !req
12. - Oh, my head is so itchy.
- Let me check it.
Copy !req
13. Do I have nits?
Not nits, nittens.
Copy !req
14. There. I think that's all of them.
Copy !req
15. Now, I dug up
my old Pocket Guide to Trolberg.
Copy !req
16. You can take it on the trip tomorrow.
Copy !req
17. - Okay, how's your head feel?
- It's not so itchy now.
Copy !req
18. Good. Try to get some sleep now.
Copy !req
19. You again!
Copy !req
20. I need my sketchbook.
Copy !req
21. There's no way
I'm letting you get away this time.
Copy !req
22. We're moving.
Copy !req
23. Um, hello!
Copy !req
24. Excuse me, sir.
Copy !req
25. Yes, little girl?
Copy !req
26. Um, why do you keep coming here?
Copy !req
27. I saw you the other night
just standing and staring at my house.
Copy !req
28. It's kind of creepy.
Copy !req
29. - I'm waiting for someone.
- Who?
Copy !req
30. An old friend.
Copy !req
31. The last time I was here,
there was no house.
Copy !req
32. So, are you sure you have
the exact right place?
Copy !req
33. I'm sure.
Copy !req
34. I remember the way the horizon looked,
the position of the river...
Copy !req
35. the way the air smells.
Copy !req
36. Some things seem different.
Copy !req
37. The hills have shifted.
Copy !req
38. But this is the place.
I remember.
Copy !req
39. So, why haven't they come?
Copy !req
40. The details were set
a very, very long time ago.
Copy !req
41. We would meet here at midnight,
but, uh, perhaps I got the date wrong.
Copy !req
42. You don't seem like the kind of person
to forget an important date.
Copy !req
43. If you ask me, you've been stood up.
Copy !req
44. I don't see the sense
in coming back here night after night.
Copy !req
45. Something strange has happened,
and I don't understand.
Copy !req
46. They've all gone.
Copy !req
47. Perhaps you're right.
Perhaps she has, too.
Copy !req
48. She?
Copy !req
49. It was nice
to meet you properly.
Copy !req
50. Now, how do I get down?
Copy !req
51. Climb onto my hand.
Copy !req
52. Thank you for the advice.
Copy !req
53. Goodbye, little girl.
Copy !req
54. Okay, now this is interesting.
Copy !req
55. It says here that Trolberg was built
Copy !req
56. right smack in the middle of land
that belonged to trolls.
Copy !req
57. That's why they built this wall,
to keep the trolls out.
Copy !req
58. City people are no fun.
Copy !req
59. That one's available.
Copy !req
60. Two bedrooms, parking,
pets okay, close to playground.
Copy !req
61. - Sounds perfect.
- Are you kidding me?
Copy !req
62. We'd be trapped in a house sandwich.
Copy !req
63. This could be your school.
Copy !req
64. Go ahead, explore the playground.
Copy !req
65. Fine, but I'll keep a low profile.
Copy !req
66. Wait! Where's everybody going?
Copy !req
67. - Inside. Break's over.
- What's break?
Copy !req
68. A waste of time if you ask me.
Come on, David.
Copy !req
69. What's with that incredibly loud bell?
Copy !req
70. It means time to move it
or you'll be late and in trouble again.
Copy !req
71. Yep! Gotta go!
Copy !req
72. Twig, it's good to be home, boy.
Copy !req
73. Mum, I'm telling you, those poor
Trolberg kids live in fear of bells,
Copy !req
74. just like trolls.
Copy !req
75. Hilda, it was just a school bell.
It's pretty normal, actually.
Copy !req
76. Ugh, you've let the Wood Man in again.
Copy !req
77. I bet we wouldn't have neighbors
like this in Trolberg.
Copy !req
78. Exactly my point.
Copy !req
79. Civilized neighbors don't walk
into your house without asking first.
Copy !req
80. - But he's like part of our family.
No, I'm not.
Copy !req
81. - Can I have this when you move?
- We're not moving!
Copy !req
82. Okay.
Copy !req
83. Ah!
Copy !req
84. It's been a long day.
Let's get some rest.
Copy !req
85. Have you seen a giant
as big as a mountain roaming the valley?
Copy !req
86. I don't come here
for the conversation, you know.
Copy !req
87. Wait! You didn't answer me!
Copy !req
88. Slow down!
I really need to ask you some questions.
Copy !req
89. Look, there's this huge giant
who keeps showing up,
Copy !req
90. and I don't want to bother Mum about it,
for obvious reasons,
Copy !req
91. but I bet you could help me figure out
what's going on with him.
Copy !req
92. You can pretend not to hear me
all you want, but I know you can.
Copy !req
93. Come on, I know you know
a thing or two about giants.
Copy !req
94. Oh, it's still you.
Copy !req
95. I saw you reading
a book on giants the other night.
Copy !req
96. - You're very observant.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
97. It's unnerving. Come in.
Copy !req
98. - Would you like some tea?
- No, thanks.
Copy !req
99. That looks like soily water
with sticks in it.
Copy !req
100. - Why so interested in giants?
Copy !req
101. I met one last night, a huge one,
taller than the mountains.
Copy !req
102. Giants that big haven't walked
the earth for an impossibly long time.
Copy !req
103. This is the book you need.
Copy !req
104. "The Giants of Old."
Copy !req
105. These giants were
the first things to live in these valleys
Copy !req
106. long before people or guys like me.
Copy !req
107. But most people
have forgotten—
Copy !req
108. Hey, that's my one!
Copy !req
109. According to this,
Copy !req
110. "it was crucial that one giant
must, at all times, be sat atop
Copy !req
111. the tallest mountain,
a long-forgotten peak in the north.
Copy !req
112. There, he or she
would gaze tirelessly into the black,
Copy !req
113. guarding the earth from anything
that might threaten from above.
Copy !req
114. Any young giant
could be summoned as guardian,
Copy !req
115. a duty that could last for millennia."
Copy !req
116. Legend says that the last guardian
to serve was this fellow: Jorgen.
Copy !req
117. But where did all the other giants go?
Copy !req
118. Well, you see,
everything started to get smaller.
Copy !req
119. People appeared and built towns.
Copy !req
120. Giants would accidentally step on them.
Copy !req
121. There were arguments, fights.
Copy !req
122. It just wasn't their world anymore.
Copy !req
123. So they had to leave.
Copy !req
124. But where did they go?
Copy !req
125. - No one knows where they went.
Copy !req
126. Some say they all just jumped as high
as they could and drifted off into space.
Copy !req
127. So, my giant's been guarding
the entire planet all on his own
Copy !req
128. for thousands of years,
Copy !req
129. and no one told him
that everyone else was gone.
Copy !req
130. His friend was meant to meet him,
but she's gone, too.
Copy !req
131. Poor guy.
He's all on his own.
Copy !req
132. The world became
too small for his kind to live in anymore.
Copy !req
133. By the way, how are
your negotiations going with the elves?
Copy !req
134. How do you know about that?
Copy !req
135. You're not the only one
who observes things.
Copy !req
136. Well, Alfur has promised to take me
to meet the king tomorrow.
Copy !req
137. So, barging in on your neighbors
is your new thing.
Copy !req
138. I may have to move.
Copy !req
139. All right, boy.
You're on guard duty till I'm back.
Copy !req
140. - Wish me luck with the king.
Copy !req
141. Alfur, let's go!
Copy !req
142. Oh, uh...
Copy !req
143. I'd suggest dressing a little warmer,
considering our destination.
Copy !req
144. Ah.
Copy !req
145. How much further
do you think it is?
Copy !req
146. Uh, 1,500 elf miles.
Copy !req
147. Ah! Hilda, where are you going?
Copy !req
148. Wrong way! Wrong way!
Copy !req
149. Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
150. Ah! What are you doing?
Copy !req
151. Woffs are unpredictable!
Copy !req
152. They migrate willy-nilly!
Copy !req
153. Don't worry, Alfur.
Just let me know when you spot the—
Copy !req
154. Whoa! Oh!
Copy !req
155. Ah, he's trying to shake me off!
Copy !req
156. Oh, this is why one should never fly
without a permit!
Copy !req
157. Alfur, look!
Copy !req
158. His Majesty!
- The king!
Copy !req
159. Ah! The giant girl,
sworn enemy of me and my people!
Copy !req
160. But I'm not the enemy, I promise!
Copy !req
161. Your Majesty, this is Hilda,
Copy !req
162. and she would so appreciate
a moment of your royal time.
Copy !req
163. No! I'm busy, busy, busy!
Copy !req
164. My royal hands are full!
Copy !req
165. You don't even have hands!
Copy !req
166. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
167. Whoa!
Copy !req
168. Hilda, I don't think we have time to—
Copy !req
169. There's a warmth
coming from inside.
Copy !req
170. Hello!
Copy !req
171. Hello. Who's there?
Reveal yourself.
Copy !req
172. I'm right here.
Copy !req
173. You sound like you're just a voice
in my head, that's all.
Copy !req
174. - No, I'm...
Copy !req
175. Whoa! Oof!
Copy !req
176. Whoa!
Copy !req
177. Oh, dear.
Copy !req
178. How long have I been asleep?
Copy !req
179. The, the mountain is a giant!
Copy !req
180. Oh, no.
Copy !req
181. Excuse me,
are you looking for Jorgen?
Copy !req
182. Jorgen? Have you seen him?
Am I too late?
Copy !req
183. I've waited for so long.
Copy !req
184. He's been coming here for days.
Why didn't you notice?
Copy !req
185. I told him not to wait any longer.
Copy !req
186. The snow must have blocked my ears.
Copy !req
187. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
188. Ah!
Copy !req
189. Oof!
Ah.
Copy !req
190. Got you.
Copy !req
191. Jorgen.
Copy !req
192. You're here.
Copy !req
193. But how?
Where were you on the nights I waited?
Copy !req
194. My love,
things got complicated after you left.
Copy !req
195. The little people came.
Copy !req
196. Everyone was fed up
and decided to leave or hide.
Copy !req
197. But I couldn't bear to.
Copy !req
198. I came to the spot we arranged to meet
not long after you left.
Copy !req
199. I sat down and waited...
Copy !req
200. and waited.
Copy !req
201. I must have fallen asleep at some point.
Copy !req
202. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
203. You waited for me
for 4,000 years.
Copy !req
204. Yep.
Copy !req
205. Wow.
Copy !req
206. Whoa.
Copy !req
207. Ahem, young lady!
Copy !req
208. Young miss, in light of, um,
recent events, I, the king,
Copy !req
209. would like to declare the conflict
between yourself and my people over.
Copy !req
210. You've shown yourself to be
honorable and a proponent of peace.
Copy !req
211. I will speak
to the prime minister immediately
Copy !req
212. and inform him of the news.
Copy !req
213. - It's not official until you sign.
- Oh, I'm signing it this minute.
Copy !req
214. Oh, it's official!
Copy !req
215. You're no longer an enemy of my people!
Copy !req
216. There's nothing for Mum
to worry about now.
Copy !req
217. What on Earth is going on here?
Copy !req
218. I know this might seem weird,
but I'm holding a castle,
Copy !req
219. and this is the king,
and, basically, we don't have to move!
Copy !req
220. The house! Everything!
Copy !req
221. It's gone, it's all gone.
Copy !req
222. They haven't even noticed
what they've done.
Copy !req
223. We'll be all right, Mum.
Copy !req
224. For the fire
in your new place in Trolberg.
Copy !req
225. Oh, thank you.
Copy !req
226. - I found this in the rubble.
- My sketchbook.
Copy !req
227. I certainly have no use for it.
It smells like troll spit.
Copy !req
228. I wish I didn't have to leave here.
Copy !req
229. I'm going to miss all of this.
Copy !req
230. I'll even miss you.
Copy !req
231. You know where to find me.
Copy !req
232. - That's very comforting.
- For you.
Copy !req
233. Hilda, I'm afraid we need to get going.
Copy !req
234. Hilda! Wait!
Copy !req
235. Alfur!
Copy !req
236. I've been up all night filling out
the required paperwork for travel,
Copy !req
237. and it's official!
Copy !req
238. Look!
Copy !req
239. "Northern Elven Counties Passport
and Permission to Travel."
Copy !req
240. I'm the first elf from these parts
to visit Trolberg
Copy !req
241. and file reports on life in the big city!
Copy !req
242. And, if it's
not too terribly inconvenient,
Copy !req
243. I'd like to hitch a ride with you.
Copy !req
244. If you don't mind, that is.
Copy !req
245. Are you kidding?
Copy !req
246. It'll be so nice
to have a friend from home.
Copy !req
247. Hop aboard, Alfur.
Copy !req
248. Hilda, who are you talking to?
Copy !req
249. Um... I'll tell you on the drive.
Copy !req
250. Are you already writing your first report?
Copy !req
251. - We just got here.
- Indeed.
Copy !req
252. I want to set down my first impressions
while they're still fresh.
Copy !req
253. More humans
than I've ever seen in one place.
Copy !req
254. Fascinating noises,
and it's all very strange,
Copy !req
255. but also exciting.
Copy !req
256. I think it just seems loud and crowded.
Copy !req
257. You can barely see the sky,
the trees are too small for climbing,
Copy !req
258. and they built a wall
to keep out anything interesting.
Copy !req
