1. - Hilda!
Copy !req
2. Stay away from me!
Copy !req
3. - I won't hurt you.
Copy !req
4. - Wait!
- Leave me alone!
Copy !req
5. Please. I can explain.
Copy !req
6. You can talk now?
Copy !req
7. I could always talk.
Copy !req
8. It's just that you understand me,
Copy !req
9. now that you're a troll.
Copy !req
10. I am not a troll.
Copy !req
11. I didn't mean…
Copy !req
12. Hilda, wait!
Copy !req
13. I'm going home!
Copy !req
14. Please, don't go out there!
Copy !req
15. Baba, baba, baba!
Copy !req
16. Huh?
Copy !req
17. Baba, baba!
Copy !req
18. Ba!
Copy !req
19. Baba!
Copy !req
20. Baba!
Copy !req
21. - Hey! Can you—
- Baba, baba!
Copy !req
22. It was really quite hard
to stack all that.
Copy !req
23. She was in Hilda's bed?
Copy !req
24. - Baba!
Copy !req
25. Yes. Just like I said.
Copy !req
26. I made breakfast, went in,
and she was just there, and Hilda wasn't.
Copy !req
27. Unless…
Copy !req
28. Baba. Ba?
Copy !req
29. You couldn't be Hilda, could you, somehow?
Copy !req
30. Baba.
Copy !req
31. Baba!
Copy !req
32. In light of your recent
escapades with trolls,
Copy !req
33. I'd say this is a changeling.
Copy !req
34. - A what?
- A swap!
Copy !req
35. A troll child in human form
who's taken Hilda's place.
Copy !req
36. Hang on.
Copy !req
37. You're the little troll
from inside the mountain.
Copy !req
38. I do recognize you.
Copy !req
39. But if you're here and you're like this,
then that means Hilda must be…
Copy !req
40. I don't understand.
This is the place, isn't it, Twig?
Copy !req
41. Where we escaped.
Copy !req
42. Then, shouldn't there be a cave somewhere?
Copy !req
43. We won't find it just by standing here.
Let's look around and keep an eye on…
Copy !req
44. Baba.
Copy !req
45. Baba.
Copy !req
46. Oh, there's so many of them.
Copy !req
47. Do you think one of these could be—
Copy !req
48. Right. How many is that now?
Copy !req
49. - That's 11 or 12.
- Right, so that's a good job.
Copy !req
50. Oh. Safety Patrol.
Copy !req
51. I wonder what they're up to.
Copy !req
52. Good morning! Good morning.
Copy !req
53. Looking good. Ooh! Good to see you.
Copy !req
54. We've all seen the fires in the hills.
Copy !req
55. You've no doubt heard rumors
about sudden increases
Copy !req
56. in troll numbers and so on.
Copy !req
57. And I want you to know
Copy !req
58. I hear your concerns.
Copy !req
59. That is why I am here to announce a curfew
Copy !req
60. on all beyond-wall activity after sundown.
Copy !req
61. In addition, I pledge today
to once more put a man, or woman,
Copy !req
62. in every tower along our historic wall.
Copy !req
63. Applications for volunteer bell ringers
are now open.
Copy !req
64. Yes, you there.
Copy !req
65. Are the rumors true?
Copy !req
66. Is there a danger of an attack?
Copy !req
67. Well, of course!
Copy !req
68. But that is why I am here.
Copy !req
69. My people are out there,
belling troll rocks even as we speak.
Copy !req
70. And not only that,
Copy !req
71. we've been preparing for an eventuality
like this for quite some time.
Copy !req
72. Our technology
is more effective than ever.
Copy !req
73. I present to you our state-of-the-art,
troll-buster mobile light cannon.
Copy !req
74. Imagine for a moment
a dedicated fleet of these babies
Copy !req
75. guarding every corner of our fair city.
Copy !req
76. A fleet, sir?
Copy !req
77. You are aware we have
just one troll-buster vehicle?
Copy !req
78. They don't need to know that.
Copy !req
79. Good citizens, please be reassured.
Copy !req
80. Your safety is safe with me.
Copy !req
81. Now, there's a man
who's got the right idea.
Copy !req
82. I do feel safer
with an Ahlberg protecting us.
Copy !req
83. I didn't, when I was stuck
on a mountain with him.
Copy !req
84. Of course you didn't.
You were surrounded by trolls!
Copy !req
85. We were so worried, sweetie!
Copy !req
86. He did get you back safely,
though, didn't he?
Copy !req
87. Where are you off to?
Copy !req
88. We said you don't have to go
to school today, remember?
Copy !req
89. I'd rather do something
than sit here all day watching trash TV.
Copy !req
90. Hey! You're here!
Copy !req
91. No thanks to my parents.
Copy !req
92. Yours too?
Copy !req
93. I just want things to get back to normal
as quickly as possible.
Copy !req
94. How's your leg?
Copy !req
95. Mmm, it's still a bit sore,
but it feels much better.
Copy !req
96. No sign of Hilda?
Copy !req
97. She and her mum went through a lot.
Copy !req
98. We might not need the time off,
but I'm not surprised that she does.
Copy !req
99. Come on, let's get to class.
Copy !req
100. Now, children.
Copy !req
101. I'm sorry to say
Copy !req
102. our regularly-scheduled lesson
is canceled today.
Copy !req
103. Instead, we have a visitor.
Copy !req
104. Officer Selby
from the Trolberg Safety Patrol.
Copy !req
105. - Hello.
- He's brought a video.
Copy !req
106. - Trolls.
Copy !req
107. Fearsome.
Copy !req
108. Blood-thirsty.
With a taste for human flesh.
Copy !req
109. But are they really so dangerous?
Copy !req
110. Yes! That's why we must make sure…
Copy !req
111. Um, Ms. Hallgrim.
Copy !req
112. - Ms. Hallgrim?
- Huh?
Copy !req
113. Frida.
Copy !req
114. This isn't true.
They don't have a taste for human flesh.
Copy !req
115. They like vegetables as much as anything.
Copy !req
116. And Jorts.
Copy !req
117. If you could save your thoughts
until after the video.
Copy !req
118. Trolls and humans
may be natural enemies…
Copy !req
119. We are not natural enemies.
Copy !req
120. Frida, please.
Copy !req
121. …the heroic endeavors
of Safety Patrol have kept the peace
Copy !req
122. for the citizens of Trolberg
for generations,
Copy !req
123. by remaining vigilant
and staying one step ahead of the threat
Copy !req
124. at every turn.
Copy !req
125. But it wasn't always so easy.
Copy !req
126. When man first came to this valley,
Copy !req
127. savage attacks by trolls
were tragically common.
Copy !req
128. Our ancestors may not have survived
if it wasn't for one thing.
Copy !req
129. The symbol of Trolberg,
Copy !req
130. the humble bell.
Copy !req
131. Now, under the leadership of Erik Ahlberg,
Copy !req
132. Head Officer of Safety Patr—
Copy !req
133. Huh? Hey! You can't—
Copy !req
134. Ms. Hallgrim! With all due respect,
Copy !req
135. I can say with first-hand experience
that none of that is true.
Copy !req
136. Trolls aren't just mindless people-eaters.
Copy !req
137. - My grandfather was eaten by a troll!
- No way!
Copy !req
138. - They're evil.
- They are not!
Copy !req
139. My great-grandmother raised a troll
that she found in her garden.
Copy !req
140. Yeah, it probably grew up
to eat my grandfather.
Copy !req
141. - It didn't!
- Children!
Copy !req
142. My parents say they steal children.
Copy !req
143. That's not true!
Copy !req
144. Are you calling my parents liars?
Copy !req
145. I'm calling you stupid.
Copy !req
146. Listen!
Copy !req
147. Most of you have spent
your whole lives in Trolberg.
Copy !req
148. Have you ever heard of anyone
actually being eaten by a troll?
Copy !req
149. - Uh, no.
- No, not really.
Copy !req
150. You shouldn't have to sit here
and be taught lies, and I won't.
Copy !req
151. I can't believe
algebra was canceled for this.
Copy !req
152. Hilda!
Copy !req
153. Hilda!
Copy !req
154. We've been searching all day.
Are we walking in circles?
Copy !req
155. I don't think so.
Copy !req
156. How have
we not found a single cave?
Copy !req
157. She's in there, I know it.
But if we can't get in—
Copy !req
158. Ow!
Copy !req
159. Um, excuse me. Excuse me, Miss.
Copy !req
160. Is everything okay here?
Copy !req
161. Fine! Everything's fine.
Copy !req
162. It's not safe for you to be
Copy !req
163. outside the walls
so late in the day, ma'am.
Copy !req
164. Much less your, uh…
Copy !req
165. children.
Copy !req
166. May I ask what you're doing out here?
Copy !req
167. You haven't heard about the curfew?
Copy !req
168. Curfew?
Copy !req
169. Oh! Oh, we're looking for…
Copy !req
170. Berries. You know? To make jam.
Copy !req
171. Please! Do no such thing.
Copy !req
172. Those berries
are intensely poisonous, ma'am.
Copy !req
173. - Oh, I knew that.
Copy !req
174. No! I didn't mean
these berries.
Copy !req
175. Sir?
Copy !req
176. They're stirring.
Copy !req
177. I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
Please don't make me insist.
Copy !req
178. Right. Well, then, let's go, children.
Copy !req
179. This way.
Copy !req
180. Why did you lie to him?
Copy !req
181. Because they're looking for
the same thing we are, Tontu.
Copy !req
182. But I'm not sure we're on the same side.
Copy !req
183. Right. I was going home.
Copy !req
184. Huh?
Copy !req
185. The sound of them.
Copy !req
186. That little one was one thing.
Copy !req
187. The ones on the wall are going to kill me.
Copy !req
188. - Hey, in here.
Copy !req
189. Whoa!
Copy !req
190. What are you hiding from?
Copy !req
191. A troll.
Copy !req
192. Are you not a troll?
Copy !req
193. No.
Copy !req
194. Are you sure about that?
Copy !req
195. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
196. You're hiding from a troll,
and you found a troll.
Copy !req
197. That must be quite annoying.
Copy !req
198. I'm Trundle, by the way,
if you're interested.
Copy !req
199. Hilda.
Copy !req
200. You're a lot bigger
than the troll I'm hiding from.
Copy !req
201. Yes, it's a shame.
Copy !req
202. If I wasn't,
then maybe I could get out of here
Copy !req
203. as easily as you got in.
Copy !req
204. The bells. You're trapped in here.
Copy !req
205. Ah, don't worry yourself about it.
Copy !req
206. I guess neither of us
are where we want to be.
Copy !req
207. I didn't know it was like this.
Copy !req
208. How am I ever going to get home
with these things in the way?
Copy !req
209. Home?
Copy !req
210. Yes, home. Trolberg.
Copy !req
211. What would you do once you were there?
Copy !req
212. You're a troll. They built a big wall
to keep you out, you know.
Copy !req
213. You're welcome to stay here
as long as you want.
Copy !req
214. I know it's not much.
Copy !req
215. Is…
Copy !req
216. Is it permanent?
Copy !req
217. It depends.
Copy !req
218. The other trolls won't tell you this,
Copy !req
219. but there is a way to change you back.
Copy !req
220. There is?
Copy !req
221. It's an old magic, rarely practiced.
Copy !req
222. In theory, I could do it,
Copy !req
223. but not in my present state.
Copy !req
224. I would need you
to do a few things for me.
Copy !req
225. What?
Copy !req
226. Anything. Name it, and I'll do it.
Copy !req
227. And this would have to remain
between you and me.
Copy !req
228. No one else can know.
Copy !req
229. Whatever. Just tell me.
Copy !req
230. Well,
Copy !req
231. first, I could really use a drink.
Copy !req
232. Some troll mead would be nice.
Copy !req
233. Hilda! Hilda!
Copy !req
234. It's that troll. She won't give up.
Copy !req
235. You should go to her.
Copy !req
236. Hilda!
Copy !req
237. Are you crazy?
Copy !req
238. She's the one that did this to me.
Copy !req
239. You may find this hard to understand,
Copy !req
240. but there was a kindness in her magic.
Copy !req
241. She won't allow any harm to come to you.
Copy !req
242. In fact, she will take care of you
as though you were her own child.
Copy !req
243. Yeah, well, I'm definitely not.
Copy !req
244. Nevertheless…
Copy !req
245. Hilda!
Copy !req
246. …as long as you're out here,
that troll is your mother.
Copy !req
247. And a mother's love
should not be taken for granted.
Copy !req
248. I should still be looking for her.
We should never have come home.
Copy !req
249. No, you need rest.
Copy !req
250. Besides, it's no good
if you get yourself eaten.
Copy !req
251. She really is quite resourceful,
that daughter of yours.
Copy !req
252. I'm sure she's made some arrangements.
Copy !req
253. - She shouldn't have to make— Ow!
- Baba, baba, baba!
Copy !req
254. Please, can you just…
Copy !req
255. Ugh! You stupid, stupid—
Copy !req
256. Hey, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to shout, I—
Copy !req
257. Hey, hey, it's gonna be okay.
I've got you.
Copy !req
258. Shh.
Copy !req
259. - Come on.
- Baba.
Copy !req
260. I still don't really understand why.
Why you did it.
Copy !req
261. My daughter is a gentle soul.
Copy !req
262. You've seen what it can be like out here.
Copy !req
263. Turning to stone. The bells.
Copy !req
264. This is no place for her
at the best of times,
Copy !req
265. and there's trouble brewing.
Copy !req
266. Even so,
you can't just swap people like that.
Copy !req
267. It's kidnapping!
Copy !req
268. What is that?
Copy !req
269. It's like a sound. But more of a feeling.
Copy !req
270. I can't hear it, but I know it's there.
Copy !req
271. We all feel it.
Copy !req
272. I don't know what it is,
but it's always been there.
Copy !req
273. Calling us towards the city.
Copy !req
274. Have you ever wondered why we stay here
among these particular mountains
Copy !req
275. when we are so clearly unwelcome?
Copy !req
276. I always thought it was pretty obvious.
Copy !req
277. You were here long before Trolberg was.
Copy !req
278. I don't think I ever realized
there were this many of you out here.
Copy !req
279. The calling has become stronger lately.
Copy !req
280. It's bringing more and more of us
out of the mountains each night.
Copy !req
281. The humans have noticed.
Copy !req
282. I'm sure they imagine
Copy !req
283. there's some kind of plan
to storm the city.
Copy !req
284. There isn't, though, right?
Copy !req
285. Of course not, but that's not the point.
Copy !req
286. There are some that want to lash out,
Copy !req
287. to answer the call the only way they can.
Copy !req
288. But, could they really do anything?
With the wall, and those bells?
Copy !req
289. Maybe not.
Copy !req
290. It'll be sunrise soon.
We should rest. Big day tomorrow.
Copy !req
291. What are we doing?
Copy !req
292. Showing you how to be a troll.
Copy !req
293. - Oh!
Copy !req
294. Huh!
Copy !req
295. Perhaps we could erect
some kind of large net,
Copy !req
296. to catch anything
thrown over and prevent—
Copy !req
297. No, no, no, no. That doesn't capture
the imagination enough.
Copy !req
298. They need something to look towards,
not practical solutions.
Copy !req
299. But, sir, given the—
Copy !req
300. - What's this?
- That is a gun, sir.
Copy !req
301. It utilizes a compact version
Copy !req
302. of the technology
from the troll-buster cannon, but—
Copy !req
303. Yes! This could be just the thing.
Copy !req
304. But sir, that is a one-of-a-kind,
untested prototype.
Copy !req
305. I am not sure it even works.
Copy !req
306. Come, Gerda. The people await!
Copy !req
307. Boulders are just big stones,
Copy !req
308. and thrown stones are no match
Copy !req
309. for the latest
in state-of-the-art troll deterrence.
Copy !req
310. This baby will turn a full-size troll
into a harmless pile of gravel.
Copy !req
311. If Hilda is how we think she is, Tontu,
we need to find her before they do.
Copy !req
312. - We should be out there looking.
- Baba.
Copy !req
313. Baba, shoes on.
Copy !req
314. - Baba. Baba-baba.
Copy !req
315. Why don't I stay here and look after her?
Copy !req
316. We'll only slow you down anyway.
You'll cover more ground.
Copy !req
317. If you're sure.
Copy !req
318. Between Alfur and I,
I think we can handle her.
Copy !req
319. - Actually, uh…
Copy !req
320. Cedric here and I
are going to help out with the search.
Copy !req
321. - Oh, I see.
Copy !req
322. Beep.
Copy !req
323. Baba, baba.
Copy !req
324. - Baba.
- Oh.
Copy !req
325. Don't tell Johanna, but you're actually
a lot less trouble than the regular kid.
Copy !req
326. Ooh.
Copy !req
327. Baba, baba!
Copy !req
328. Hey, Baba.
Copy !req
329. What's a five-letter word
meaning "hairy thief?"
Copy !req
330. Baba?
Copy !req
331. Oh!
Copy !req
332. No, no, no, no, no!
Copy !req
333. Baba!
Copy !req
334. - Baba, baba, baba!
Copy !req
335. Baba, baba!
Copy !req
336. - Baba.
- Baba!
Copy !req
337. Baba.
Copy !req
338. Excuse me. Sorry!
Copy !req
339. - Baba!
Copy !req
340. Sloppy work. Make a note of this, Deputy.
Copy !req
341. We'll need
another bell team out here sharpish.
Copy !req
342. Sir, forgive my pointing it out.
Copy !req
343. But you know the effects these bells have.
Copy !req
344. Should we not be looking
at ways to calm the situation
Copy !req
345. rather than stir it up?
Copy !req
346. You see this?
Copy !req
347. This is what we're up against!
Copy !req
348. Cowards.
They turn to stone rather than face me.
Copy !req
349. And the rest slink off
and disappear once the sun is up.
Copy !req
350. It strikes me
that they are keeping to themselves, sir.
Copy !req
351. It strikes me that
they are denying us victory.
Copy !req
352. - And if they—
Copy !req
353. What is that?
Copy !req
354. It appears to be a pigeon, sir.
Copy !req
355. Cedric!
Copy !req
356. We need to get inside the mountain.
Copy !req
357. - Sir?
- Take them by surprise.
Copy !req
358. Secure the advantage.
Copy !req
359. But nobody has ever found a way
into troll country.
Copy !req
360. Nobody yet.
Copy !req
361. But if we can do this, Deputy Gerda,
Copy !req
362. my name will go down
in the annals of Trolberg history.
Copy !req
363. Come, we have plans to make.
Copy !req
364. Silence the bells! Silence the bells!
Copy !req
365. Silence the bells!
Copy !req
366. Silence the bells!
Copy !req
367. - Ahlberg smells! Silence the bells!
Copy !req
368. Silence the bells?
Exactly whose side are you on?
Copy !req
369. We're on the side
of peace and communication.
Copy !req
370. The enemies of misinformation and fear.
Copy !req
371. Really? Well, I'd love to hear
what your teachers have to say about that.
Copy !req
372. Their teacher is very proud of them
and would ask you to move along.
Copy !req
373. Hmm!
Copy !req
374. Silence the bells! Silence the—
Copy !req
375. David, what's this about?
Copy !req
376. It's my mum.
She's only gone and volunteered
Copy !req
377. to be one of Ahlberg's
emergency bell-ringers.
Copy !req
378. And I'm guessing
she wouldn't approve of all this.
Copy !req
379. I can't face the conversation.
Copy !req
380. Huh. Still got it.
Copy !req
381. - Tontu!
Copy !req
382. Oh, you got her.
Copy !req
383. Thanks, guys.
Copy !req
384. - Who's this?
Copy !req
385. You think you can help me
get her back home?
Copy !req
386. I'll explain on the way.
Copy !req
387. Hilda's a troll?
Copy !req
388. Yes, it's not ideal.
Copy !req
389. Oh, boy!
Copy !req
390. The question is,
what are we going to do about it?
Copy !req
391. Well, you're a witch. Is there a spell
or something that could turn her back?
Copy !req
392. There has to be.
Copy !req
393. Come on, let's ask Kaisa.
Copy !req
394. - What did I do with my jumper?
Copy !req
395. Baba!
Copy !req
396. Ugh!
Copy !req
397. Body swapping. I think
this is the book you're looking for.
Copy !req
398. - Thanks.
- Wait.
Copy !req
399. - Whose bodies are we swapping?
- Hilda's!
Copy !req
400. She's been swapped
with a troll changeling child,
Copy !req
401. and we need to change her back.
Copy !req
402. Ah. That's not going to work, I'm afraid.
Copy !req
403. What? Why?
Copy !req
404. Troll magic. It's just, uh…
Works differently.
Copy !req
405. You can't counter
a troll spell with witch magic.
Copy !req
406. They don't combine.
Copy !req
407. - At all.
- But—
Copy !req
408. On top of that, witches do not like
to get involved in troll affairs.
Copy !req
409. It's kind of a protocol thing
Copy !req
410. that the council
would love to explain to you in detail.
Copy !req
411. But this is Hilda we're talking about.
Copy !req
412. You know her.
Copy !req
413. I do. And so I know
she'll find her own way out of this.
Copy !req
414. You seriously can't help?
Copy !req
415. Whoa.
Copy !req
416. Yes!
Copy !req
417. Hmm.
Copy !req
418. Did you sleep well?
Copy !req
419. As well as can be expected.
Copy !req
420. Where are we going?
Copy !req
421. - To have breakfast.
- Huh?
Copy !req
422. Humans have breakfast, don't they?
Copy !req
423. Do you think there's anything vegetarian?
Copy !req
424. Oh! Thank you.
Copy !req
425. Oh!
Copy !req
426. It's okay
if you want to nibble on my leaf.
Copy !req
427. Uh…
Copy !req
428. A drink for you.
Copy !req
429. Mmm, thank you.
Copy !req
430. Mmm. Ah!
Copy !req
431. Oh, I love this stuff. What is it?
Copy !req
432. That's troll mead.
Copy !req
433. Powerful stuff.
Copy !req
434. Just a sip will keep
a thing like you running for days.
Copy !req
435. You know, I think I'm gonna go
stretch my legs if that's okay.
Copy !req
436. - I won't be long.
- Okay.
Copy !req
437. Hmm. Too much troll mead.
Copy !req
438. Say, who's got it anyway?
Copy !req
439. Ah! That's the stuff.
Copy !req
440. I feel like I could pull
the horns off a forest giant.
Copy !req
441. Is that a good thing?
Copy !req
442. It's something.
Copy !req
443. So, what's next?
Copy !req
444. Next?
Copy !req
445. Yes, next.
Copy !req
446. What's the next thing I need to do
for you to turn me back?
Copy !req
447. Oh!
Copy !req
448. No time to chat?
Copy !req
449. Uh…
Copy !req
450. No, no, you're in a hurry.
Copy !req
451. Who'd want to be a troll
longer than they have to be?
Copy !req
452. I'm sorry, I didn't—
Copy !req
453. The next thing I would ask of you
Copy !req
454. is that you remove
those dreadful bells from my front door.
Copy !req
455. What? How am I supposed to do that?
Copy !req
456. If I knew, I would have done it myself.
Copy !req
457. Humph.
Copy !req
458. Tell me. Why are there so many bells here?
Copy !req
459. Someone obviously
didn't want you to leave.
Copy !req
460. They were worried enough about you
to put a bell on your nose.
Copy !req
461. What do you think they make of me?
Copy !req
462. Mmm.
Copy !req
463. If it's too much trouble…
Copy !req
464. No.
Copy !req
465. I'll figure it out.
Copy !req
466. - What is it, Twig? Do you smell something?
Copy !req
467. Trolls!
Copy !req
468. I don't see her with them.
But look, the cave.
Copy !req
469. I knew it was around here.
It looks like they're on the move.
Copy !req
470. Hey, you! Wait! Don't walk away from me.
Copy !req
471. Wha… What?
Copy !req
472. What? No, no!
Copy !req
473. No! Open up! Give her back to me!
Copy !req
474. Just give me a minute. Okay, Twig?
Copy !req
475. - Uh, Johanna?
Copy !req
476. Oh.
Copy !req
477. - Okay, um…
Copy !req
478. Don't panic.
Copy !req
479. There's no reason to believe
they aren't friendly.
Copy !req
480. Hello. I… I don't mean any harm.
I'm looking for my daughter.
Copy !req
481. You see, I think
she might have been— Ahh!
Copy !req
482. - No! Please, I don't—
Copy !req
483. Ow!
Copy !req
484. Evasive maneuvers!
Copy !req
485. Evasive maneuvers!
Copy !req
486. Cedric!
Copy !req
487. No!
Copy !req
488. - Start, start, start!
Copy !req
489. Sorry for wandering off before.
Copy !req
490. Why would someone apologize for wandering?
Copy !req
491. - Well, I—
- You didn't miss anything.
Copy !req
492. We caught the scent of some trolls
looking to steal our food. So we left.
Copy !req
493. Why would they do that?
Copy !req
494. - Shouldn't you all be friends?
- You mean how all humans are friends?
Copy !req
495. There are all kinds of trolls here,
all with different ideas and priorities.
Copy !req
496. Good, bad, stupid,
it can be hard to find common ground.
Copy !req
497. It's a shame you can't work together more.
Copy !req
498. You need, like, some laws
or a leader or something.
Copy !req
499. Come. I should show you something.
Copy !req
500. What is that place?
Copy !req
501. That was once the home of a troll
Copy !req
502. that called himself the Mountain King.
Copy !req
503. Mountain King?
Copy !req
504. He was the only one
that ever managed to unite
Copy !req
505. any real number of us
around a single idea.
Copy !req
506. That's the sort of thing
I'm talking about. What idea?
Copy !req
507. To lead an army of trolls
to attack the city.
Copy !req
508. Oh. Mmm. And what… What happened to him?
Copy !req
509. Whoa.
Copy !req
510. The idea proved to be quite popular.
Copy !req
511. But not everyone agreed with it.
Copy !req
512. There was a battle.
Copy !req
513. In the end, he was defeated
before his goal could be achieved.
Copy !req
514. No troll has tried
to crown themselves king or queen since.
Copy !req
515. Maybe you don't need a leader, then.
Copy !req
516. - All right.
Copy !req
517. The spell says we need organic matter.
Copy !req
518. Luckily, I found some of Hilda's hair
Copy !req
519. tangled in this random stick
she left here for some reason.
Copy !req
520. But the troll kid—
Copy !req
521. Oh! I've got just the thing!
Copy !req
522. Perfect.
Copy !req
523. Okay, then that should be it.
Copy !req
524. Ew.
Copy !req
525. I hope this works.
Copy !req
526. Me too.
Copy !req
527. Gifr syn, gifr syn, gifr syn…
Copy !req
528. Uh, maybe you should check the footnotes?
Copy !req
529. This place is really something.
Copy !req
530. You think so?
Copy !req
531. Apart from breakfast
and not getting robbed,
Copy !req
532. what do we do all day?
Copy !req
533. Well, the same as humans, I suppose.
Copy !req
534. - Whatever we want.
- We don't do whatever we want.
Copy !req
535. We have to go to school
and have jobs and schedules.
Copy !req
536. You don't want to do those things?
Copy !req
537. Not really.
Copy !req
538. That might just be you.
Copy !req
539. And the sort of thing
that made me think you'd like it here.
Copy !req
540. Hmm.
Copy !req
541. What do we do? Hmm.
Copy !req
542. We drink. Eat.
Copy !req
543. Think. Wander.
Copy !req
544. Throw each other.
Copy !req
545. Throw each other?
Copy !req
546. - Yes. You know?
- Wait!
Copy !req
547. It's like a game!
Copy !req
548. See? You're getting
the hang of it already.
Copy !req
549. What are the piles of junk all about?
Copy !req
550. We gather it.
Copy !req
551. Things the humans have dumped
or don't seem to need anymore.
Copy !req
552. Hmm? Hmm?
Copy !req
553. - What does she want with that?
- It's probably for her hoard.
Copy !req
554. Hoards! I've read
about troll-treasure hoards.
Copy !req
555. I'm sure that you have. Let me show you.
Copy !req
556. The treasure you're probably thinking of
is quite hard to come by these days.
Copy !req
557. Modern trolls tend to focus
on a more modest and curated collection.
Copy !req
558. Like what?
Copy !req
559. Car parts.
Copy !req
560. Barrels, buckets, and pine cones.
Copy !req
561. Bones!
Copy !req
562. What do you collect?
Copy !req
563. Soft furnishings.
Copy !req
564. Whoa-ho!
Copy !req
565. Mmm, this is more like it.
Copy !req
566. Gifr syn, gifr syn…
Copy !req
567. I'm sick of saying, "Gifr syn"!
Copy !req
568. Look! There's the troll kid.
Copy !req
569. And there's Hilda!
Copy !req
570. Is that meant to be happening?
Copy !req
571. I don't think so. Um…
Copy !req
572. I guess that's what Kaisa meant
by, "Doesn't combine well."
Copy !req
573. - Yeah.
- Don't worry.
Copy !req
574. We'll find some
other non-bucket-related way to help.
Copy !req
575. You know, when we saw her,
it kind of looked like—
Copy !req
576. She was enjoying herself.
Copy !req
577. Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
578. You're having fun?
Copy !req
579. Are you kidding? With this troll body,
I feel like I could run a hundred miles.
Copy !req
580. Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
581. Or lift up an entire mountain!
Copy !req
582. There's so much space out here.
Copy !req
583. No roads, cars,
Copy !req
584. fences and walls.
Copy !req
585. I'd forgotten.
Copy !req
586. Race you to the top of the mountain?
Copy !req
587. What do you think?
Copy !req
588. It beats the view from my bedroom window.
Copy !req
589. So, weird question.
Copy !req
590. Do I have a troll dad anywhere?
Copy !req
591. No, why?
Copy !req
592. No reason.
Copy !req
593. Trolls aren't usually born
in the sense that you are.
Copy !req
594. You mean you don't have a mum?
Copy !req
595. There was a troll once,
a mother to all of us.
Copy !req
596. But she died a long time ago.
Copy !req
597. My daughter came to me.
Copy !req
598. But we are all the children
of the stones in the Earth.
Copy !req
599. You miss her already, don't you?
Copy !req
600. Your daughter.
Copy !req
601. Do you have a hoard?
You must collect something.
Copy !req
602. I don't need much to feel content.
Copy !req
603. But I do have this.
Copy !req
604. - Oh!
- I know it's not much.
Copy !req
605. I think it's wonderful.
Copy !req
606. Well, they're yours now.
Copy !req
607. I've had a nice time today.
Copy !req
608. But don't you see how wrong this all is?
Copy !req
609. Maybe this place
isn't perfect for your daughter,
Copy !req
610. but you've made things
really nice for her.
Copy !req
611. There's nothing
on the other side of that wall
Copy !req
612. that's better for her than this.
Copy !req
613. This is a home.
Copy !req
614. Her home. And she should be here with you.
Copy !req
615. Hmm. Maybe I have made a mistake.
Copy !req
616. So make it right!
Copy !req
617. Change us back. I know you can do it.
Copy !req
618. I can't. What's done is done.
Copy !req
619. I don't know a way.
Copy !req
620. It's been a long day.
Copy !req
621. We should sleep.
Copy !req
622. Are you telling me the truth?
Copy !req
623. You're not just saying that
to keep me here?
Copy !req
624. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
625. Very good. Very good.
Copy !req
626. I knew your human trickery
would get the job done.
Copy !req
627. Right, what next?
Copy !req
628. You sleep?
Copy !req
629. No. Did you hear
the trolls roaring last night?
Copy !req
630. It's like they were taunting me.
Copy !req
631. How's your scratch?
Copy !req
632. It's not too bad.
Copy !req
633. You could have been eaten.
Copy !req
634. I know.
Copy !req
635. Today has got to be the day.
We have got to get her back!
Copy !req
636. I don't think
we can do it on our own.
Copy !req
637. We know all about Hilda,
and we want to help.
Copy !req
638. So what's the plan?
Copy !req
639. Well, first,
we just have to make a quick stop.
Copy !req
640. Baba.
Copy !req
641. Wait. This is my house.
Copy !req
642. - What are you doing?
Copy !req
643. I'm so grateful that you want to help.
Copy !req
644. I really am.
You are the best friends Hilda could have.
Copy !req
645. But it's not right
to drag you kids into this. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
646. Hey!
Copy !req
647. Wait!
Copy !req
648. Didn't see that coming.
Copy !req
649. - Captain?
Copy !req
650. Ah!
Copy !req
651. Is it good news, officer? A new lead?
Copy !req
652. It's someone to see you, sir.
They say it's urgent.
Copy !req
653. Transformed into a troll.
Copy !req
654. I know it sounds strange.
Copy !req
655. Nothing entirely surprises me anymore.
Now, how do you think we can help you?
Copy !req
656. You're Safety Patrol, aren't you?
Copy !req
657. It's too dangerous out there,
but not for someone who has one of those.
Copy !req
658. You want an armed escort?
Copy !req
659. For my safety.
Copy !req
660. That's quite a request.
You're welcome to file a report.
Copy !req
661. But unfortunately—
Copy !req
662. Help me, and I'll show you
how to get inside the mountain.
Copy !req
663. I will escort you personally.
Copy !req
664. - Yes, sir. Understood, sir.
- Do you understand?
Copy !req
665. - I hope I can count on you.
- You can count on me, sir. Goodbye.
Copy !req
666. Ahlberg has just put me
in temporary command
Copy !req
667. of all of Safety Patrol.
Copy !req
668. So you can't help us.
Copy !req
669. I'm sorry, children.
I suddenly have quite a lot to do.
Copy !req
670. This is ridiculous.
Copy !req
671. Everyone we've turned to
either can't help,
Copy !req
672. won't help, or won't let us help.
Copy !req
673. Flipping grown-ups.
Copy !req
674. Did you hear the news?
Copy !req
675. Apparently, there were
so many troll rocks outside the town gate,
Copy !req
676. no cars could get through.
Copy !req
677. I'm telling you,
there's gonna be an attack or something.
Copy !req
678. Mark my words.
Copy !req
679. Oh. I don't know who else to turn to.
Copy !req
680. What would Hilda do?
Copy !req
681. She'd probably go and ask a troll.
Copy !req
682. David, that's it.
We should talk to the trolls.
Copy !req
683. But, Frida, trolls can't talk.
Copy !req
684. I know, but perhaps they don't need to.
Copy !req
685. - Do you remember the Kraken?
Copy !req
686. The giant tentacle monster-island thing?
Copy !req
687. Yep. Never, ever gonna forget that.
Copy !req
688. I was able to tap into its thoughts
and kind of speak to it.
Copy !req
689. Mind to mind.
If I can do that with a troll—
Copy !req
690. Then maybe it can help us find Hilda!
Copy !req
691. It'll be hard getting out there,
though, with the curfew.
Copy !req
692. My mum! She's gonna be
on bell duty at one of the gates tonight.
Copy !req
693. You could distract her.
Copy !req
694. I could.
Copy !req
695. But it means
you'll be out there on your own.
Copy !req
696. I don't think we've got much choice.
Copy !req
697. The final thing I ask of you…
Copy !req
698. is to bring me something very special.
Copy !req
699. It lies in the home of the Mountain King.
Copy !req
700. His hoard is well hidden.
Copy !req
701. But I can tell you how to find it.
Copy !req
702. The object I require
is blood red,
Copy !req
703. and extremely precious.
Copy !req
704. You will know it when you see it.
Copy !req
705. This must be it.
Copy !req
706. Bring it to me,
Copy !req
707. and I will make you human once more.
Copy !req
708. Hmm.
Copy !req
709. Huh?
Copy !req
710. Wait.
Copy !req
711. I'm me again!
Copy !req
712. What is this place?
Copy !req
713. Whoa!
Copy !req
714. Hilda!
Copy !req
715. Mum?
Copy !req
716. Hilda! Hilda!
Copy !req
717. Mum! I hear you.
Copy !req
718. I'm coming!
Copy !req
719. - Hilda, where are you?
- Mum! I… I don't…
Copy !req
720. No! Let me through!
Copy !req
721. Oh.
Copy !req
722. Uh, hello there. I'm Hilda.
Copy !req
723. Help!
Copy !req
724. Help me!
Copy !req
725. Hilda.
Copy !req
726. Mum?
Copy !req
727. What the heck was that?
Copy !req
728. Still a troll.
Copy !req
729. Come on then, orb.
Copy !req
730. Let's get out of here.
Copy !req
731. Oh.
Copy !req
732. I'm glad this place is abandoned.
Copy !req
733. If that Mountain King guy was still here,
this whole thing would have been a lot…
Copy !req
734. harder.
Copy !req
735. Baba, you ready?
Copy !req
736. Easy.
Copy !req
737. It works.
Copy !req
738. Uh, should it not?
Copy !req
739. He'll wake up in a couple of hours
with a splitting headache.
Copy !req
740. Ugh. This is the place.
Copy !req
741. Here? But, where's the cave?
Copy !req
742. I'll remind you, I've gone
well out of my way to be here personally.
Copy !req
743. If this turns out to be
a waste of my time…
Copy !req
744. Baba.
Copy !req
745. Ba.
Copy !req
746. There. That's the way in.
Copy !req
747. Now help me find my daughter.
Copy !req
748. "Ba-ba"?
Copy !req
749. Wait!
Copy !req
750. Mum.
Copy !req
751. - Troll!
Copy !req
752. Stay back, you beast!
Copy !req
753. Oh, I can't believe I found you!
Copy !req
754. I didn't know what to do. I was losing my…
Copy !req
755. I am so sorry.
Copy !req
756. Mum! It's okay.
Copy !req
757. We found each other.
That's all that matters.
Copy !req
758. Twig!
Copy !req
759. Tontu! Alfur! You're all here.
Copy !req
760. - Yes.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
761. And you. It's nice to see you again.
Copy !req
762. You've been looking after
my mum, I take it?
Copy !req
763. Ba!
Copy !req
764. Hilda. Look at you.
Copy !req
765. You're… You're—
Copy !req
766. Oh! Ah, you're strong!
Copy !req
767. I know. Hop on, Baba.
There's no time to lose.
Copy !req
768. Where are we going?
Copy !req
769. To put everything right.
Copy !req
770. There she is.
Copy !req
771. Looks
like the other tower is empty.
Copy !req
772. Use your eyes, try not to fall asleep,
and that's all there is to it.
Copy !req
773. Psst!
Copy !req
774. - Hey! Mum!
Copy !req
775. Who's that?
Copy !req
776. It's my son!
Copy !req
777. I have it! I found the thing!
Copy !req
778. Now you can change me back!
Copy !req
779. Trundle!
Copy !req
780. Trundle?
Copy !req
781. Weird.
Copy !req
782. He's always been here before.
Copy !req
783. Hilda.
Copy !req
784. You! Stay back.
Copy !req
785. No, Mum. It's okay.
Copy !req
786. I just found my daughter,
Copy !req
787. and I won't let you
take her from… me… again.
Copy !req
788. The bells. They're…
Copy !req
789. Hilda, what have you done?
Copy !req
790. Baba?
Copy !req
791. Baba!
Copy !req
792. Baba!
Copy !req
793. Ba! Ba! Ba! Ba! Ba!
Copy !req
794. Got you!
Copy !req
795. Take one more step towards this child,
beast, and I'll turn you to rubble.
Copy !req
796. Ahlberg? What's he doing here?
Copy !req
797. Oh! Another one!
Copy !req
798. - Put that thing away!
Copy !req
799. That's my daughter.
Copy !req
800. Is it?
Copy !req
801. Are you sure? Perhaps she was once.
Copy !req
802. But how can we be certain she's anything
but the blood-thirsty monster
Copy !req
803. she appears to be.
Copy !req
804. Ready to turn on us at any moment.
Copy !req
805. I'm telling you. Put that thing down,
or I'll take it off you.
Copy !req
806. And render me defenseless?
Copy !req
807. Good Lord, they've bewitched you
with their troll magic.
Copy !req
808. - I'll take that.
Copy !req
809. Baba!
Copy !req
810. Oh!
Copy !req
811. I'm warning you—
Copy !req
812. I'm warning you.
Copy !req
813. Mum!
Copy !req
814. Um, hi!
Copy !req
815. - Hilda, you're—
- Yep. I'm me again.
Copy !req
816. And I, uh… I don't have any clothes.
Copy !req
817. Oh.
Copy !req
818. Well, perhaps Baba
won't need hers anymore, so…
Copy !req
819. Oh.
Copy !req
820. Well, isn't it a good job
Tontu came along?
Copy !req
821. I brought spares.
Copy !req
822. How has this all happened?
Copy !req
823. Returning them to their true mothers
must have brought the spell full circle.
Copy !req
824. Effectively rendering
the changeling contract null and void.
Copy !req
825. If this was the way to break the spell,
Copy !req
826. then doing all that stuff
was just a waste of time.
Copy !req
827. I don't even need this freaky orb.
Copy !req
828. Hmm. It was right here.
Copy !req
829. Orb?
Copy !req
830. Where are the bells
that used to hang here?
Copy !req
831. I took them down.
Copy !req
832. Trundle said if I did,
it'd help him change me back.
Copy !req
833. Those bells were put there
a long time ago, for a very good reason.
Copy !req
834. This cave is a prison cell.
Copy !req
835. The prison cell of the Mountain King.
Copy !req
836. What? That doesn't make any sense.
Copy !req
837. Oh, hey. There's my orb.
Copy !req
838. At last!
Copy !req
839. Trundle?
Copy !req
840. Thank you for all your help, Hilda.
Copy !req
841. It looks like we both got what we wanted.
Copy !req
842. You… You liar! You tricked me!
Copy !req
843. He's…
Copy !req
844. …enormous!
Copy !req
845. He's heading straight for Trolberg!
Copy !req
846. We have to stop him.
Copy !req
847. Baba!
Copy !req
848. Okay, here we go.
Copy !req
849. Hello.
Copy !req
850. Can I help you with that?
Copy !req
851. There. That's better, isn't it?
Copy !req
852. All right. If it's okay with you,
I just want to try something.
Copy !req
853. Huh! You're just as nervous as me.
Copy !req
854. You know, a lot of people think
there's an army of you
Copy !req
855. ready to attack Trolberg.
Copy !req
856. Oh, cruddlesticks.
Copy !req
857. What are they doing?
Copy !req
858. He's going to attack the city.
Copy !req
859. - Attack the city?
- What?
Copy !req
860. Ha! I don't know
what you're all so concerned about.
Copy !req
861. He's a big chap, I'll give him that,
Copy !req
862. but he'll turn around like all the others
once those bells start ringing.
Copy !req
863. David, what's all this about?
Copy !req
864. I know something's bothering you,
but I can't help or change anything
Copy !req
865. if you won't talk to me.
Copy !req
866. I'm doing this for you, you know.
Copy !req
867. - For me? You're the one who—
Copy !req
868. What's going on?
Copy !req
869. Okay. We're leaving.
Copy !req
870. Frida!
Copy !req
871. Oh!
Copy !req
872. Frida!
Copy !req
873. Mum?
Copy !req
874. Frida, quick! Inside.
Copy !req
875. Huh?
Copy !req
876. What?
Copy !req
877. I can't let you do this, brother.
Copy !req
878. And what is it you think
that I'm doing, exactly?
Copy !req
879. We both know what's happening here.
Copy !req
880. There's a reason I kept that eye from you.
Copy !req
881. I won't fight you, brother.
Copy !req
882. I'm not here to fight anyone.
Copy !req
883. Phew.
Copy !req
884. Are you okay?
Copy !req
885. I'm fine.
Copy !req
886. Take positions!
Copy !req
887. All eyes on that gate.
Copy !req
888. We're too late.
Copy !req
889. Please.
Copy !req
890. That wall has kept the people
of Trolberg safe for hundreds of years.
Copy !req
891. Eyes on the gate.
Copy !req
892. And mark my words…
Copy !req
893. Don't say it.
Copy !req
894. …it will continue to do so.
Copy !req
895. Oh, my!
Copy !req
896. Should we fire?
Copy !req
897. No, don't do anything.
Copy !req
898. One of them's breaking away.
Copy !req
899. - I can't let this happen.
- Hilda, wait.
Copy !req
900. This is my fault. I can speak to them.
Copy !req
901. Please, let me try.
Copy !req
902. Go.
Copy !req
903. Stop!
Copy !req
904. Hilda!
Copy !req
905. David!
Copy !req
906. Mum, I have to.
Copy !req
907. Don't go any further!
Copy !req
908. I know it looks like
you might win this fight,
Copy !req
909. but there'll be more men coming.
Copy !req
910. You'll be fighting forever.
Copy !req
911. Everybody loses.
Copy !req
912. Please!
Copy !req
913. Listen to me!
Copy !req
914. Frida!
Copy !req
915. Are you okay?
Copy !req
916. Yeah. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
917. Looking for you,
hoping to avert disaster. The usual.
Copy !req
918. I came out and made
a mind connection with a troll
Copy !req
919. to find out what happened to you,
but, well, here you are.
Copy !req
920. Here I am.
And I feel like I've been here before.
Copy !req
921. Except that was me!
Copy !req
922. Frida, when you did your mind connection,
did you learn anything?
Copy !req
923. It was confusing.
Copy !req
924. But I did get something to do
with their mother.
Copy !req
925. Of course!
Copy !req
926. That's what's been calling them
to the city. A mother's love.
Copy !req
927. Hilda!
Copy !req
928. Oh, no. This is what he wants.
Copy !req
929. Come any closer, and we will open fire.
Copy !req
930. What's that?
Copy !req
931. I don't know. But it doesn't feel good.
Copy !req
932. Hey, where did Ahlberg go?
Copy !req
933. Deputy!
Copy !req
934. Sir?
Copy !req
935. It is very good to see you.
Copy !req
936. Prepare this weapon to fire.
Copy !req
937. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
938. Target acquired. Cannon is charged.
Copy !req
939. - Open fire.
- Stop!
Copy !req
940. Whatever you do, don't fire that thing.
Copy !req
941. Are you blind, child?
Copy !req
942. That monster
is about to trample the whole city.
Copy !req
943. This is going to sound crazy,
Copy !req
944. but I think there's
a giant troll underneath Trolberg.
Copy !req
945. Hundreds of times bigger than that one,
and she's worried about her children.
Copy !req
946. That's why he's here, to provoke you.
Copy !req
947. Because if you react,
Copy !req
948. if you harm them,
she won't just lie there.
Copy !req
949. She's going to defend them.
Copy !req
950. She's going to sit up,
Copy !req
951. destroying the entire city.
Copy !req
952. Fire at will, Deputy.
Copy !req
953. No.
Copy !req
954. You put me in charge, Erik,
and I am not following that order.
Copy !req
955. Then you're relieved. Move over.
Copy !req
956. No!
Copy !req
957. Please, don't!
Copy !req
958. Thanks for that.
Copy !req
959. Ba!
Copy !req
960. At the ready, people,
prepare to defend your city.
Copy !req
961. Please, let me talk to them.
We can stop this.
Copy !req
962. I don't think talking is going to cut it.
Copy !req
963. This is war!
Copy !req
964. It doesn't have to be.
Copy !req
965. Let's get out of here!
Copy !req
966. Listen to me.
Trolberg is about to be destroyed,
Copy !req
967. and if you don't take me seriously,
then it's going to be your fault.
Copy !req
968. That is enough of your nonsense.
Copy !req
969. Go back to your mother
and stay out of my way.
Copy !req
970. Hilda!
Copy !req
971. Throw me!
Copy !req
972. What?
Copy !req
973. Mmm.
Copy !req
974. Get that cannon recharged.
Copy !req
975. Uh, sir.
Copy !req
976. What the…
Copy !req
977. Where am I?
Copy !req
978. Oh, that kid
is really starting to get on my…
Copy !req
979. Erik.
Copy !req
980. Mother.
Copy !req
981. What do we do?
Copy !req
982. We have to get out of here.
Copy !req
983. Agreed.
Copy !req
984. Baba!
Copy !req
985. Baba.
Copy !req
986. Baba, no!
Copy !req
987. Troll advancing.
Copy !req
988. - Open fire!
- Stand down!
Copy !req
989. Sir?
Copy !req
990. Uh… What do we do?
Copy !req
991. Nothing.
Copy !req
992. We do nothing.
Copy !req
993. Baba.
Copy !req
994. Keep a close watch.
Copy !req
995. But just let them in.
Copy !req
996. They've stopped.
Why have they stopped here?
Copy !req
997. We're right above her.
Copy !req
998. I can feel it too.
Copy !req
999. But I'm not sure
if I can make sense of it on my own.
Copy !req
1000. Help me?
Copy !req
1001. Her name is Amma.
Copy !req
1002. The mother and grandmother to all trolls.
Copy !req
1003. She built these mountains a long time ago
as a home for her children.
Copy !req
1004. She would lie down to sleep between them,
surrounded by those she loved.
Copy !req
1005. One time, after a long rest,
Copy !req
1006. she woke up
to find a village had appeared.
Copy !req
1007. But she didn't want to disturb the people,
Copy !req
1008. so she decided
to remain there until they left.
Copy !req
1009. But the village grew and grew.
Copy !req
1010. It wasn't so bad at first.
Her children could still be close to her.
Copy !req
1011. She could speak to them.
Copy !req
1012. But the people drove them further
and further away from her.
Copy !req
1013. Then they built the wall.
Copy !req
1014. Nothing was ever stopping her
from getting up.
Copy !req
1015. But she didn't do it.
Copy !req
1016. She stayed there,
cut off from her children.
Copy !req
1017. For us. For our sakes.
Copy !req
1018. Do you feel that?
Copy !req
1019. What's happening to them?
Copy !req
1020. She's speaking.
Copy !req
1021. It's hard to directly translate
the trolls' language.
Copy !req
1022. But her words
were along the lines of this.
Copy !req
1023. "My children, I am proud of you."
Copy !req
1024. "You may not remember me,
Copy !req
1025. but I have never,
and will never, forget you."
Copy !req
1026. "Take care of one another."
Copy !req
1027. "Be strong, be good,
and know that I am never far away."
Copy !req
1028. Erik Ahlberg was presented with a medal
Copy !req
1029. for the "unshakable bravery
and quick diplomatic instincts,"
Copy !req
1030. which prevented a catastrophic troll war.
Copy !req
1031. At the same event,
he announced his immediate retirement
Copy !req
1032. from public service.
Copy !req
1033. Chief Officer Gerda Gustav's first act
Copy !req
1034. was to declare
an annual Night of the Trolls.
Copy !req
1035. Every year, the gates are to be opened,
Copy !req
1036. the bells are to be silenced,
and the people of the mountain
Copy !req
1037. allowed to walk peacefully into Trolberg.
Copy !req
1038. It's not perfect.
Copy !req
1039. Many people will still fear the trolls,
and they'll still fear us.
Copy !req
1040. But it's a start.
Copy !req
1041. And perhaps one day,
we'll live truly peacefully, side by side.
Copy !req
1042. There are, however, a few other nights
Copy !req
1043. you might find a troll in Trolberg.
Copy !req
1044. Baba!
Copy !req
1045. - A-ha!
Copy !req
1046. Baba, baba!
Copy !req
1047. And once in a while,
I go out on the mountainside.
Copy !req
1048. - Baba, ba!
Copy !req
1049. And I get to be a troll.
Copy !req
1050. Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
1051. Baba, ba!
Copy !req
