WITCH: Come, children,
and listen,
3
00:00:33,003 --> 00:00:36,884
for the story I tell
holds a lesson.
4
00:00:36,908 --> 00:00:40,455
A lesson that might one day
keep you safe.
5
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,892
So, gather in close
and hear me well.
6
00:00:44,916 --> 00:00:48,429
It's the story
of the Beautiful Child
7
00:00:48,453 --> 00:00:49,588
with the little pink cap.
8
00:00:52,389 --> 00:00:55,803
Her birth was a gift
to her mother and father
9
00:00:55,827 --> 00:00:58,362
in a time of great suffering
and famine.
10
00:00:59,531 --> 00:01:01,141
All in the village agreed
11
00:01:01,165 --> 00:01:03,535
she was
the most beautiful child.
12
00:01:06,505 --> 00:01:08,940
But an illness fell upon her,
13
00:01:09,674 --> 00:01:10,918
and it was predicted
14
00:01:10,942 --> 00:01:13,478
that her first winter
would be her last.
15
00:01:15,547 --> 00:01:19,149
Her father was not one to take
such tidings passively,
16
00:01:20,384 --> 00:01:24,064
and whispers
told of an enchantress
17
00:01:24,088 --> 00:01:28,134
with the power
to cure any ailment.
18
00:01:28,158 --> 00:01:32,573
All that was required
was for her father to be brave
19
00:01:32,597 --> 00:01:35,000
and to trust the darkness.
20
00:01:40,672 --> 00:01:41,973
And he was,
21
00:01:42,741 --> 00:01:44,074
and he did.
22
00:01:46,578 --> 00:01:50,156
But when that enchantress
took away the illness,
23
00:01:50,180 --> 00:01:53,050
she left in its place a gift.
24
00:01:54,886 --> 00:02:00,001
It came to be that the child
had been granted Second Sight.
25
00:02:00,025 --> 00:02:03,093
Everyone thought they wanted
her to read their futures,
26
00:02:04,462 --> 00:02:08,466
but then no one wanted to hear
what she saw.
27
00:02:09,233 --> 00:02:11,012
For it is only the bitter end
28
00:02:11,036 --> 00:02:13,848
that comes for everyone,
anyway.
29
00:02:13,872 --> 00:02:17,350
And she herself
made sure of that.
30
00:02:17,374 --> 00:02:19,085
For it was soon clear...
31

(HORSE GROANS)
32
00:02:23,481 --> 00:02:27,018
that she was powerful
in other ways, too.

(METAL CLANGING)
34
00:02:30,956 --> 00:02:32,958
It seemed
she would spare no one.
35
00:02:35,060 --> 00:02:36,895
Not even her own father,
36
00:02:39,129 --> 00:02:41,566
who, for her,
had sacrificed so much.
37
00:02:46,071 --> 00:02:47,280
(HORSE WHINNIES)
38
00:02:47,304 --> 00:02:50,250
And so, it was ordered
39
00:02:50,274 --> 00:02:54,411
that the child be returned
to the darkness that made her.
40
00:02:55,747 --> 00:02:59,427
She was hidden away,
deep in the woods,
41
00:02:59,451 --> 00:03:01,086
all alone,
42
00:03:01,786 --> 00:03:03,922
with no one to play with.
43
00:03:04,990 --> 00:03:09,094
But still, she had her own way
44
00:03:09,995 --> 00:03:12,363
of making friends.
45
00:03:17,969 --> 00:03:22,107
So, children, please,
beware of gifts.
46
00:03:23,441 --> 00:03:26,787
Beware of those that offer them.
47
00:03:26,811 --> 00:03:31,116
And beware of those who are
only too happy to take them.
48
00:04:04,749 --> 00:04:06,159
GRETEL:
Fairy tales have a funny way
49
00:04:06,183 --> 00:04:07,384
of getting into your head.
50
00:04:08,987 --> 00:04:12,232
I don't remember where I was,
or when,
51
00:04:12,256 --> 00:04:13,534
that I first heard the story
52
00:04:13,558 --> 00:04:15,527
of the Beautiful Child
in her little pink cap.
53
00:04:16,895 --> 00:04:18,697
Just feels like
I've always known it.
54
00:04:19,898 --> 00:04:21,207
I wonder how someone gets
55
00:04:21,231 --> 00:04:23,068
their own fairy tale
told about them.
56
00:04:24,301 --> 00:04:25,870
And if I'd even want that.
57
00:04:27,204 --> 00:04:29,650
You have to go through
a lot of terrible trouble.
58
00:04:29,674 --> 00:04:31,317
Then most the time,
some prince appears
59
00:04:31,341 --> 00:04:32,711
and wakes you up anyway.
60
00:04:34,344 --> 00:04:37,124
But I don't see
any princes around here.
61
00:04:37,148 --> 00:04:38,683
There's only my little brother.
62
00:04:39,751 --> 00:04:41,929
He follows me wherever I go,
63
00:04:41,953 --> 00:04:43,755
and I have to share
everything with him.
64
00:04:45,890 --> 00:04:47,367
But at least he's mine.
65
00:04:47,391 --> 00:04:48,960
Why are you wearing that?
66
00:04:51,328 --> 00:04:53,373
I'm going to meet
with John Stripp.
67
00:04:53,397 --> 00:04:56,010
And his wife, if he has one.
68
00:04:56,034 --> 00:04:57,702
Mother imagines
he needs a housekeeper.
69
00:04:58,803 --> 00:05:02,207
But why are your lips
so strangely colored?

72
00:05:12,517 --> 00:05:13,518
Okay.
73
00:05:14,753 --> 00:05:17,164
If I should ever see
so much as a crumb of cake,
74
00:05:17,188 --> 00:05:18,456
you'll be the first to know.
75
00:05:19,224 --> 00:05:20,792

MASTER STRIPP: Do you read?
78
00:05:40,612 --> 00:05:45,059
Uh... No. Though,
I am able to bake and launder.
79
00:05:45,083 --> 00:05:47,194
Your father was a farmer, yes?
80
00:05:47,218 --> 00:05:48,394
GRETEL: Was, yes.
81
00:05:48,418 --> 00:05:50,488
He's gone ahead to his reward.
82
00:05:51,689 --> 00:05:54,735
Uh, Mother's alone now,
and does what she can.
83
00:05:54,759 --> 00:05:56,670
I should think
she can do precious little
84

is lifted.

the incompetence of men,
87

as so much of everything is.
88
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,618
And really, it's the whole
system that's so absurd.
89
00:06:10,642 --> 00:06:12,753
I mean, senselessly,
we owe crop to some bishop,
90
00:06:12,777 --> 00:06:15,345
and we're not even permitted
to feed our own...
91
00:06:18,049 --> 00:06:20,561

the number of words
92

have stung with pride?

you to smile at the man?

with ghosts.

You shouldn't talk like that.
124
00:08:04,522 --> 00:08:07,368
You'll take your brother,
and make haste to the convent.

at the boots of the sisters,

to bite something later.

WITCH: I've been thinking,
722
01:05:22,259 --> 01:05:25,329
maybe it's for the best
that Hansel isn't with us.
723
01:05:26,798 --> 01:05:27,841
Isn't?
724
01:05:27,865 --> 01:05:30,645
He'll soon come to fear you,
725
01:05:30,669 --> 01:05:32,269
as all men should
if they're smart.
726
01:05:33,070 --> 01:05:37,918
And fear so easily
turns to hatred.
727
01:05:37,942 --> 01:05:41,254
Better that he remember you
as you were,
728
01:05:41,278 --> 01:05:43,582
rather than
as you're meant to be.
729

With all that you're showing me,
730
01:05:57,228 --> 01:05:59,430
will I one day be very powerful?
731
01:06:01,365 --> 01:06:03,243
You will be.
732
01:06:03,267 --> 01:06:06,814
Will I have mastery
and dominion over everything?

WITCH: Nearly everything.
734
01:06:08,707 --> 01:06:12,778
We must accept our weaknesses.
735
01:06:14,044 --> 01:06:17,558
Have you one? A vulnerability?
736
01:06:17,582 --> 01:06:20,786
Only that which has taken
a part of me.
737
01:06:23,220 --> 01:06:26,390
Only that which has taken
a part of you.
738
01:06:28,325 --> 01:06:31,572
And to you it will be a poison.
739
01:06:31,596 --> 01:06:34,040
And so you must consume it,
740
01:06:34,064 --> 01:06:37,745
lest it consume you first.
741
01:06:37,769 --> 01:06:39,781
Consume poison?
742
01:06:39,805 --> 01:06:44,317
How else will one
develop an immunity?
743
01:06:44,341 --> 01:06:47,254
But the thing about poison
744
01:06:47,278 --> 01:06:50,090
is that out of everything
in the big, bad world,
745
01:06:50,114 --> 01:06:52,551
nothing tastes as sweet.
746
01:07:50,241 --> 01:07:52,385
What did you do with my brother?
747
01:07:52,409 --> 01:07:55,857
I am only moving him
out of your way.
748
01:07:55,881 --> 01:07:57,859
He's all I have in this world.
749
01:07:57,883 --> 01:08:01,520
Say that again and I will turn
your tongue into a flower,
750
01:08:02,521 --> 01:08:07,200
to remind you
of how pretty and dumb,
751

temporary,
you've chosen to be.
752
01:08:12,731 --> 01:08:16,166
Or you may follow the path
that I've lit for you.
753
01:08:17,736 --> 01:08:19,504
Do whatever you want with me,
754
01:08:20,070 --> 01:08:21,873
but only if you free him.
755
01:08:23,675 --> 01:08:25,175
I could never do that.

GRETEL: But why not?
757
01:08:28,813 --> 01:08:32,049
Because that little boy
is your poison.

All that is left
is to make him delicious.

when there was anything else
I cared to do.

I envy you,

of your own experience,
765
01:09:02,379 --> 01:09:04,315

(INHALES DEEPLY)
768
01:09:39,784 --> 01:09:41,285
A nice balance.
769
01:09:42,353 --> 01:09:44,632
I admire the application.
770
01:09:44,656 --> 01:09:46,199
But more than anything
771
01:09:46,223 --> 01:09:48,502
it leaves me curious as to why,
772
01:09:48,526 --> 01:09:50,071
why you would try
to put me to sleep
773
01:09:50,095 --> 01:09:52,138
when there is so much
to be done.
774
01:09:52,162 --> 01:09:54,298
I won't do
what you want me to do.
775
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:57,110
I'm nothing like you.

how would you know my story

having to tell it to you?

01:10:15,687 --> 01:10:17,498
We were given the same gift,

that's your favorite story,

but you have been
telling it wrong.
789
01:10:50,187 --> 01:10:51,364
It's true,
790
01:10:51,388 --> 01:10:54,735
she was a most beautiful child,
791
01:10:54,759 --> 01:10:56,393
and everyone could see that.
792
01:10:56,928 --> 01:10:58,763
But on the inside,
793
01:10:59,564 --> 01:11:02,543
she was rotten to her core
794
01:11:02,567 --> 01:11:05,202
and as sweet as vinegar.
795
01:11:06,171 --> 01:11:08,683
Even I hated her,
796
01:11:08,707 --> 01:11:10,508
and I was her mother.
797

(METAL CLANGING)
798
01:11:16,915 --> 01:11:19,484
Because from me,
she took everything.
799
01:11:23,888 --> 01:11:27,333
And would have destroyed me too,
800
01:11:27,357 --> 01:11:29,961
if I didn't
get rid of her first.
801
01:11:31,096 --> 01:11:33,574
So I gave her back
to the darkness
802
01:11:33,598 --> 01:11:34,742
that had made her,
803
01:11:34,766 --> 01:11:37,535
and thought that would be
the end of it.
804
01:11:38,169 --> 01:11:40,213
But I was wrong.
805
01:11:40,237 --> 01:11:42,750
She stayed with me.
806
01:11:42,774 --> 01:11:49,023
In my thoughts, in my dreams,
attached to me like my shadow,
807
01:11:49,047 --> 01:11:54,962
promising me a taste
of the powers that she had.
808
01:11:54,986 --> 01:11:58,966
All that was required
was for me to be brave
809
01:11:58,990 --> 01:12:02,036
and to trust the darkness.
810
01:12:02,060 --> 01:12:03,604
And I was,
811
01:12:03,628 --> 01:12:05,439
and I did.
812
01:12:05,463 --> 01:12:07,240
And like she had done,

I rid myself
of all other attachments.

01:20:27,098 --> 01:20:28,933
I have my own power to nurture.
897
01:20:29,967 --> 01:20:31,411
I'll help it to grow,
898
01:20:31,435 --> 01:20:33,914
and trust that I'll know
what to do with it.
899
01:20:33,938 --> 01:20:36,216
I know that the choice is mine.
900
01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:39,578
I could feed it darkness,
or give it plenty of light.
901
01:21:07,506 --> 01:21:09,307
I looked, and I saw,
902
01:21:09,874 --> 01:21:11,476
and I understood.
903
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:17,348
The captor now gone
and her fires all put out,
904
01:21:19,618 --> 01:21:21,018
they were free to go...
905
01:21:24,955 --> 01:21:26,424
and be at peace.
906
01:21:32,531 --> 01:21:34,131
And I was free.
907
01:21:36,033 --> 01:21:38,178
To go and never look back,
908
01:21:38,202 --> 01:21:39,946
or stay to build something new
909
01:21:39,970 --> 01:21:42,784
on top of everything
that had been destroyed.
910
01:21:42,808 --> 01:21:45,319
I knew my path
would reveal itself,
911
01:21:45,343 --> 01:21:48,456
and that all was required
for me was to be brave
912
01:21:48,480 --> 01:21:50,214
and to trust myself.
913
01:22:04,895 --> 01:22:06,330
And I am brave.
914
01:22:07,632 --> 01:22:09,468
And I will trust myself.
915
01:22:22,119 --> 01:22:27,119
