1. You up to anything today?Copy !req
2. Not today.Copy !req
3. You haven't been out
with Frida and David for a while.Copy !req
4. Is everything okay?Copy !req
5. - Yeah.Copy !req
6. - Everything's fine.Copy !req
7. Dozens of reports of a large beastCopy !req
8. being sighted throughout the city...Copy !req
9. Buy, buy, buy, and buy some more!Copy !req
10. This is Victoria Van Gale of the Greater
Trolberg Meteorological Bureau,Copy !req
11. and things are looking gloomy out there.Copy !req
12. You can expect sorrowful winds
throughout the day...Copy !req
13. maybe even the odd ominous rumble.Copy !req
14. But the worst of conditions
will be reserved for the early hours.Copy !req
15. - Don't worry, Twig.Copy !req
16. This should clear up soon.
Victoria Van Gale is never wrong.Copy !req
17. I've got to drive over
to the art supply store today.Copy !req
18. - Do you want to join me?
- No.Copy !req
19. I was going to go to the library
to see if I could findCopy !req
20. a copy of this book that Frida's lost.Copy !req
21. But looking at the weather,
I think I'm gonna giveCopy !req
22. the whole "leaving the house" thing
a miss today.Copy !req
23. Ah! Who would have thought it?Copy !req
24. My Hilda, put off
by a little spot of rain.Copy !req
25. Ugh!Copy !req
26. Ugh! Maybe I
should've stayed at home, too.Copy !req
27. - Huh, must be the storm.Copy !req
28. - This is Victoria Van Gale.Copy !req
29. The weather today,
not exactly the best.Copy !req
30. With any luck, the area of high pressure
should start to seeCopy !req
31. the storm shift away from the city.Copy !req
32. Hopefully. Maybe.Copy !req
33. Uh, in the meantime, expect nothing
but continuous rain throughout—Copy !req
34. Scratch that.
Looks like we've got some...Copy !req
35. - snow.
- Snow!Copy !req
36. Come on, Twig!Copy !req
37. - Let's go make a snow troll!Copy !req
38. Wow!Copy !req
39. What are you doing here?Copy !req
40. Have you seen what it's like out there?Copy !req
41. Yeah, but why are you here?Copy !req
42. I know it's hard to believe,Copy !req
43. but I don't actually know
that many people with central heating.Copy !req
44. Okay, make yourself at home,
but I'm going out there.Copy !req
45. The snow's settling already,
and I wanna be the first to make a—Copy !req
46. Hello?Copy !req
47. Hilda, it's Mum.
Listen, I think I'm gonna be a while.Copy !req
48. The road's blocked off with snow
and no one's getting anywhere in a hurry.Copy !req
49. Are you okay?Copy !req
50. - I'm fine. I was just about to—
- Listen.Copy !req
51. Don't go outside, okay?
Stay in and stay warm.Copy !req
52. It's nuts out here.Copy !req
53. - But, Mum, I—
- I won't be home to make anything,Copy !req
54. so help yourself to the leftover pie
in the fridge if you get hungry, yeah?Copy !req
55. All right, I'd better go. Bye!Copy !req
56. Sorry, boy.Copy !req
57. - Is there normally thunder when it snows?
- If you ask me, it's the weather spirits.Copy !req
58. No way. Victoria Van Gale would have said
something about that by now.Copy !req
59. I'm just saying it has all the hallmarks.Copy !req
60. Mm. Though, this does seem bad...Copy !req
61. even for them.Copy !req
62. Well, let's see.Copy !req
63. My sincerest apologies
to the three or four peopleCopy !req
64. who actually tune into this frequency.Copy !req
65. - We are currently experiencing some, uh...Copy !req
66. technical difficulties.Copy !req
67. - Everything's... fine!Copy !req
68. Weird. I check this broadcast every day
and I've never heard anything like this.Copy !req
69. - Something bad's happening.Copy !req
70. This is not good.Copy !req
71. She said everything's fine,
and I, for one, believe her.Copy !req
72. Oh, come on, you heard it
just as well as I did.Copy !req
73. Victoria Van Gale is in trouble,
in danger, even.Copy !req
74. We have to do something.Copy !req
75. But...Copy !req
76. the storm?Copy !req
77. Yes, the storm.Copy !req
78. And it's getting worse.Copy !req
79. And if it is weather spirits causing this,Copy !req
80. then she's the one person
who would know what to do.Copy !req
81. But... my cocoa.Copy !req
82. Your cocoa can wait.Copy !req
83. We have to go
to the Trolberg Weather Station.Copy !req
84. But just me?Copy !req
85. Are you not going to ask Frida, too?Copy !req
86. I don't think she's going to be
up for this one.Copy !req
87. Hmm.Copy !req
88. Okay, I'd be glad to come.Copy !req
89. Where is the weather station anyway?Copy !req
90. I'm already beginning to regret this!Copy !req
91. What's that?Copy !req
92. That's an argument.Copy !req
93. - Between who?
- Weather spirits.Copy !req
94. We made it!Copy !req
95. The Trolberg Weather Station.Copy !req
96. We're here! Come on!Copy !req
97. Uh... Hilda?Copy !req
98. Whoa! This is amazing!Copy !req
99. Look at all this stuff!Copy !req
100. It's no wonder she's good
at predicting the weather.Copy !req
101. We've got to get inside
and find out what's going on.Copy !req
102. - I hope she's okay.Copy !req
103. - Whoa.
- Oh, boy.Copy !req
104. Something really did happen here.Copy !req
105. I think I liked it better out in the cold.Copy !req
106. This doesn't make any sense.Copy !req
107. It's like no one's touched
this stuff in years.Copy !req
108. Victoria? Victoria Van Gale?Copy !req
109. Victoria?Copy !req
110. Oh, well, she's not here.
We should probably go now.Copy !req
111. Victoria Van Gale!
Where are you?Copy !req
112. Ah!Copy !req
113. I'm okay.Copy !req
114. Whoa!Copy !req
115. Victoria Van Gale?Copy !req
116. Who the devil are you?Copy !req
117. I'm Hilda. It's so great to meet you.Copy !req
118. I'm your biggest— Well, I bet
everyone says they're your biggest fan,Copy !req
119. but I'm a pretty big one.Copy !req
120. What on earth
were you doing in the garage?Copy !req
121. What did you see?
I mean, what are you doing here?Copy !req
122. We thought you might be in trouble.
We heard your broadcast.Copy !req
123. I listen to it all the time, you see.Copy !req
124. Oh, you mean, you're visitors!Copy !req
125. Well, yes, I suppose we are.Copy !req
126. Well, don't worry
about that broadcast nonsense.Copy !req
127. As you can see,
everything's fine here, quite fine.Copy !req
128. Good gracious,
isn't this a wonderful surprise?Copy !req
129. I haven't had a tour group up here
in quite some time.Copy !req
130. Ooh! That reminds me,
don't go anywhere.Copy !req
131. Oh, now, they must be
round here somewhere.Copy !req
132. They don't just disappear.Copy !req
133. I think
something funny's going on.Copy !req
134. I also think something funny's going on.Copy !req
135. What are you talking about?
She's just pleased to see us.Copy !req
136. Right, here are your visitor stickersCopy !req
137. and your complimentary Greater Trolberg
Meteorological Bureau key rings!Copy !req
138. And, uh, help yourself to a giant pencil.Copy !req
139. Strictly speaking, they're not free,
they're on the house.Copy !req
140. Come!Copy !req
141. I must give you the grand tour.Copy !req
142. This is a solarimeter.Copy !req
143. - That records the sunlight, of course.Copy !req
144. - Cool.Copy !req
145. This monitor here's showing
barometric pressure readingsCopy !req
146. - from across the Greater Trolberg area.
Oh!Copy !req
147. And here, of course,
is the studio where I—Copy !req
148. Where you make your broadcasts!Copy !req
149. This is the coolest thing ever!Copy !req
150. What's that sound mean?Copy !req
151. - Nothing.Copy !req
152. - What's in here?
- Oh, that's my bedroom.Copy !req
153. It's a bit of a mess.Copy !req
154. Now, far more interesting
is the main observatoryCopy !req
155. where I survey the skies
and conduct the vast majority of my work.Copy !req
156. Ah, yes, have a look.Copy !req
157. - Oops.Copy !req
158. - What was that?
- I'm sorry?Copy !req
159. You pushed that lever
and it started raining.Copy !req
160. - No, it didn't.
- David, you're being ridiculous.Copy !req
161. Why don't I make us some coffees?Copy !req
162. This is what coffee tastes like?Copy !req
163. I prefer cocoa.Copy !req
164. So I confess, my instruments
aren't solely for predicting the weather,Copy !req
165. but some of them
are also for controlling it.Copy !req
166. But why would you want to control it?Copy !req
167. Imagine the possibilities!
What that would mean for the worldCopy !req
168. if we could harness that power
and make it work for us.Copy !req
169. - Oh, boy.
- She's a mad scientist.Copy !req
170. So,
the weather station is your laboratory?Copy !req
171. Oh, yes, for years now.Copy !req
172. I've made progress on wind direction,Copy !req
173. pressure manipulation, and the generation
of small-scale weather events,Copy !req
174. the likes of which your talking
bird friend just demonstrated.Copy !req
175. But it's inconsistent, trivial.Copy !req
176. If my experiments have proven anything,Copy !req
177. it's that the atmosphere
only truly answers to one thing...Copy !req
178. the weather spirits.Copy !req
179. They're not easy to find, of course,Copy !req
180. but I discovered a way to lure one
and perhaps learn from it,Copy !req
181. but it worked too well.Copy !req
182. Rather more turned up than expected.Copy !req
183. How did you manage
to lure a weather spirit?Copy !req
184. That's not important.Copy !req
185. The thing is
when two weather spirits meet,Copy !req
186. they get into an argument.Copy !req
187. They love to debate.Copy !req
188. When that happens, a storm occurs.Copy !req
189. But when five, ten,
dozens meet at once, well...Copy !req
190. If you can control the weather,
isn't there something you can doCopy !req
191. to try and move the storm away
from the city?Copy !req
192. I don't know.Copy !req
193. The storm's wreaked havoc on my systems.
I'm not sure the equipment can take it.Copy !req
194. But isn't it worth trying?Copy !req
195. That storm is terrible,
and it's only gonna get worse.Copy !req
196. You've learned to do some amazing things.Copy !req
197. If there's a time to use them,
this must be it.Copy !req
198. You know what?
You're right!Copy !req
199. We're going to try
and summon an air currentCopy !req
200. to blow the storm away from the city.Copy !req
201. - Anemo-motors engaged.Copy !req
202. Adjusting aneroidic pressure modulators.Copy !req
203. When I give the signal,
turn that wheel as far as it'll go, okay?Copy !req
204. Okay.Copy !req
205. Okay!Copy !req
206. It's working!Copy !req
207. Ah, oh.Copy !req
208. Oh! I knew it.Copy !req
209. No, we can try something else.
There has to be another way.Copy !req
210. That was it.
That was the only way.Copy !req
211. We just blew up the controls.
No, it's hopeless.Copy !req
212. But there are people out there
in that thing right now.Copy !req
213. My mum's out there.Copy !req
214. There's already
52 centimeters of snow in Trolberg.Copy !req
215. By my calculations,
it'll be 168 by nightfall.Copy !req
216. At this rate, the city
will be completely buried by morning!Copy !req
217. Why do I get the feeling
I'm about to get roped into something?Copy !req
218. Hilda, what are you going to do?Copy !req
219. The storm's getting worse.Copy !req
220. Perhaps we could just fly out there
and talk to the weather spirits.Copy !req
221. - There we go.
- Are you crazy?Copy !req
222. - You can't go back into that thing.
- We've got to do something.Copy !req
223. Hilda, listen to me.Copy !req
224. You'd listen to Frida.Copy !req
225. That's because Frida
would know what to do.Copy !req
226. She'd have a better plan than this.
Have you got a better plan?Copy !req
227. No.Copy !req
228. Then this is all we've got.Copy !req
229. Climb on.Copy !req
230. - You're gonna do all the talking, right?
- Sure!Copy !req
231. I'm just saying it's completely naturalCopy !req
232. to precipitate on the windward side
of any hill I come across.Copy !req
233. Yeah, it's natural, but is that decent?Copy !req
234. Oh, are you calling me indecent?Copy !req
235. I think what our friend here
was trying to say is—Copy !req
236. - Oh, please, can you elaborate further...
- Hey!Copy !req
237. on the great shame
of a natural heavy rainfall?Copy !req
238. - Hey!Copy !req
239. A heckler?
What's the meaning of this?Copy !req
240. You're doing the talking, remember?Copy !req
241. I am your moderator!Copy !req
242. Oh, yeah, yeah.Copy !req
243. Moderate this!Copy !req
244. Hilda's right.Copy !req
245. Frida would know what to do,
but I'm no use at all.Copy !req
246. - Why did I think I would be?
- Uh, are you asking me?Copy !req
247. I don't know you, kid.Copy !req
248. Take it easy.Copy !req
249. Unless...Copy !req
250. Okay, you will speak one at a time.Copy !req
251. Every spirit will get their time to speak,
so no interrupting.Copy !req
252. Are we clear?Copy !req
253. - Fine, yes.
- Very well.Copy !req
254. Okay, you first.
- Right, well...Copy !req
255. Okay, David, come on.Copy !req
256. Victoria, could I get— No.Copy !req
257. Hey, Victoria, I was wondering,
could I get another, uh...Copy !req
258. Oh, Victoria, could I get another,
um, one of those coffees?Copy !req
259. You know what? That's a wonderful idea.
Though, I think a herbal tea for myself.Copy !req
260. More than one coffee,
and I get a little kooky.Copy !req
261. - Yes?
- Milk and sugar?Copy !req
262. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
263. I'm just saying why not steer the rain
towards those that need it most?Copy !req
264. I did not blow westwards!Copy !req
265. Oh, you wouldn't know your east
from your west.Copy !req
266. Right, you stay there,
you over here, thank you.Copy !req
267. Sorry about that. Please continue.Copy !req
268. Thank you.Copy !req
269. As I was saying...Copy !req
270. Ah, at last.Copy !req
271. - Oh, cruddlesticks!Copy !req
272. Oh, David!Copy !req
273. Oh!Copy !req
274. Looks like
the storm's easing up.Copy !req
275. Okay, you've been bursting
to say your bit for ages.Copy !req
276. - Let's hear it.Copy !req
277. Let me start off by saying
that I have never!Copy !req
278. I mean, gusts and gales, can you even—
The nature of it, unprecedented!Copy !req
279. I can't— I can't—
I can't even get it out!Copy !req
280. I can't quite recall the point
I was trying to make.Copy !req
281. Come on, let's go find David
and get out of here.Copy !req
282. Now that the abnormal
atmospheric event has come to an end,Copy !req
283. Trolberg can look forward to
a gentle breeze blowing in off the fjord.Copy !req
284. Good Lord, you look like
you've been in a hurricane!Copy !req
285. What happened?Copy !req
286. - Goodbye, now.
- Safe travels, friend.Copy !req
287. - Will you be joining us?
- No, I need to think.Copy !req
288. I came here for a reason,
but in all that arguing,Copy !req
289. I can't quite remember.Copy !req
290. What was it?
Why did I—Copy !req
291. You just talked to them?Copy !req
292. Fascinating.Copy !req
293. This will be invaluable for the next time.Copy !req
294. Next time?Copy !req
295. What's wrong
with just observing, learning?Copy !req
296. You don't have to control things.Copy !req
297. Where did that little boy get to?Copy !req
298. His coffee's going to get cold.Copy !req
299. David! What were you doing
in Victoria's bedroom?Copy !req
300. - I—
- Uh, guys!Copy !req
301. I think we're in trouble.Copy !req
302. David!Copy !req
303. - Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
- Are you okay?Copy !req
304. - Can you walk?
- Is it broken? Is it the wrong way around?Copy !req
305. I think now would be
a really good time to skedaddle!Copy !req
306. Victoria! Come on, let's get out of here!Copy !req
307. I won't go!Copy !req
308. Shall I try and grab her?Copy !req
309. No, get David home and safe right away.
I'm going to stay.Copy !req
310. What? What are you gonna do?Copy !req
311. I can't just leave her here.Copy !req
312. I've talked them down once,
I'll do it again.Copy !req
313. Hilda, take these!Copy !req
314. Go into Victoria's bedroom.Copy !req
315. It's not actually a bedroom.Copy !req
316. I'll be back for you as soon as I can.Copy !req
317. Where is he? What have you done with him?Copy !req
318. Hey, hey!
You're not allowed in there!Copy !req
319. You poor thing!Copy !req
320. - This isn't what it looks like.
- My baby!Copy !req
321. This is how you lured them here.Copy !req
322. Oh, I— I can explain!Copy !req
323. You kidnapped a spirit to use it as bait.Copy !req
324. David was right, you are mad!Copy !req
325. How did you even—?Copy !req
326. No, don't!Copy !req
327. Please, you don't know
what I had to do to catch it.Copy !req
328. I don't care!Copy !req
329. No!Copy !req
330. What happened?
What happened to Hilda?Copy !req
331. Oh, no.Copy !req
332. Whoa!Copy !req
333. Excuse me! Hey! Hello?
Can you turn back?Copy !req
334. My home's that way.Copy !req
335. We've got to back!Copy !req
336. Oh.Copy !req
