[Cranius groaning]
[Mothrax yelps]
[Mothrax grunting]
I told you not to leave that there!
Failure after pathetic failure! Where is he?
-The Valley of Despair. -[Gorm] No more games.
The only way to defeat the Monkey King is with the fist and the axe.
My army is not yet ready.
I'm tired of waiting on your army of turds.
I will kill the god myself.
And when I return victorious,
I will sit on the throne of Queen Hakuru,
and be the undisputed ruler of the Broken Temple.
I'm in. I will help you, great Gorm.
[Gorm] Well, come on then, she-bug.
[Cranius continues groaning]
-[sighs] -[Cranius yells]
[bird calling]
So, 500 years trapped in a mountain?
Did they let you go out to the bathroom?
[sighs] I'm a master of Dragon Style, Tiger's Tooth,
and 50 kinds of body control that you've never even heard of, kid.
Still doesn't really answer the question.
There was a bit of a smell up in that mountain.
[Monkey] Do not take the kid's side.
Three gods, a monk and a boy.
[Gorm] Is that all? Kill them now.
The Monkey King carries something on his back.
Might I suggest we find high ground and ambush them from-- [gasps]
Forgive me, Lord.
-Does the blood of gods color your hands? -No!
Are you the rightful leader of the Broken Temple of Queen Hakuru?
Of course not.
Then who are you to give me orders?
I am nothing.
Ready them for me.
[Sandy] Why is it called the Valley of Despair?
I bet it's not good.
Ask the Scroll of Stupid. It sent us here.
It suggested this is the path to the Scroll of Creation.
Did you ask if it was the quickest path to the Scroll of Creation?
The easiest path to the Scroll of Creation? The safest path--
Okay, Pigsy. I got it.
If you've got masks, now would be a good time to put them on.
Thank you.
But I don't take life advice from snotty-nosed kids.
[sizzles]
[hissing]
[Kaedo] It's a gas. Some kind of poison.
No, it's not.
Show yourself!
Or I'll unleash a wrath that burns with the heat...
[grunting] ...of a...
...that burns with the heat...
[exclaims]
[whispers] ...of a thousand suns.
Hmm. I think he fancies me.
You're not the first, mon cheri.
Hi. My name is--
[grunts]
-[Monkey exhales sharply] -[Pigsy] You okay?
-Pigsy. -Yep.
-You're so reliable... -Thank you.
-...and kind... -Hmm.
-...and cuddly. [giggling] -[Pigsy] Stop it, okay?
How I've missed you! Oh!
You knock yourself on the head or something?
-I love you. -[Pigsy] It's all right, okay? All right.
Can we stay like this a little while?
Monkey, quit playing around.
[Monkey] I would burn my life to the ground for you, Pigsy.
[Pigsy grunts]
Have I ever told you that your hair is exquisite?
Probably.
Oh, I love your sword.
Oh, thanks, sweetie, but I don't have a sword.
-No, not you. -[Pigsy] What?
-[grunts] -Whoo-hoo!
[Mothrax grunts]
She's so edgy. Wanna be my girlfriend?
-What? -[Tripitaka] Look out, Sandy!
It's a love potion!
Oh, don't worry, I'm immune to love.
I'm sure it will have absolutely no effect on me whatso...
You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
[grunts]
-[Pigsy grunts] -[Mothrax yelps]
Don't you lay your hands on her!
That sweet, round face...
Oh, I just want to squeeze it until it pops!
-[groaning] -Oh, gimme!
Wow, Pigsy! That was so strong of you.
Oh, wow. You are...
[Monkey and Sandy exclaiming]
Oh, take me in your big, strong, simian arms.
[all speaking indistinctly]
[Tripitaka] Snap out of it!
Stop loving each other, and start fighting that demon!
Oh, you're so wise. Gimme you!
[Tripitaka] Sandy, stop!
God, I love you. Can't you see that?
-I love you. -[Sandy sighs]
[Tripitaka] I love you so much.
Every single one of you.
You're like a human sculpture.
[Sandy] So chiseled!
-[grunts] -You must choose one of us.
You must choose me.
[both grunting]
I choose you.
Get away! He's my boyfriend. [grunts]
Beep! Boop!
The water, it snaps you out of it.
Sandy.
-Bom! [giggles] -[Kaedo] Sandy!
I love Pigsy, too.
Go away, you little home wrecker!
Hey, Sandy, you're grounded.
You don't get to see your boyfriend anymore.
Stop ruining my life!
Sandy, your face is dirty. It's all covered in mud.
Gross. Why didn't any of you tell me?
Why do I still feel dirty?
Has anyone seen my vest?
We must never speak of this again.
Agreed. That's... Save ourselves the embarrassment.
I'm the one that should be embarrassed.
What does that mean?
Uh, the scrolls. Where are the scrolls?
[panting]
[Sandy] Just so I'm clear... Did we just--
Sandy, drop it.
[Mothrax screams]
Oops!
[all panting]
[Monkey] Stay back!
She was coming for me with such speed.
-Oh, I didn't know what to do. -She has something of mine.
These? Take them. You are gods, are you not?
Thank you, old wretch. You have helped the Monkey King.
The Monkey King?
I've always wanted to create a puppet show about a legendary hero
who crushes demons and saves humanity.
[Monkey] Puppets?
I hope you've got great stamina
because it's a long story.
Will this path lead us to the road?
Yes, it will. I'm going that way, too. Follow me.
So, Monkey King, tell me everything.
[Monkey] I was born from an egg on a mountaintop,
pure, unbridled mischief and power from my...
Uncontrollable... [continues indistinctly]
So, that's how I solved the riddle and won the Scroll of Knowledge.
-The Scroll of Knowledge you say? -[Monkey] Mmm-hmm.
You don't trust him, do you?
His name is Hagfish. He has slimy skin, reptilian eyes,
and his friends are puppets. Puppets!
[Kaedo] Why is the puppet guy still with us?
There's only one road in this valley,
and we're all going in the same direction.
We'll part ways at the next crossroads we come to, agreed?
-Agreed? -[Sandy] Agreed.
-[grunts] -[metal clinks]
[gasps]
[groans]
-[grunts] -Pigsy.
[Hagfish grunting softly]
[Hagfish] I'm afraid you have to wait.
Ah! But you...
-What are you-- -[speaks other language]
Trouble sleeping?
The monk was having bad dreams. Did you not hear?
Tripitaka, are you okay?
Tripitaka?
[Tripitaka through puppet] Pigsy, that's not me.
He's a demon. He stabbed me with a pin and trapped me in a puppet!
[Pigsy] Tripitaka, you okay?
Tripitaka.
Thank you, kind pig.
Though in future, I'd prefer if you not disturb my sleep.
-That goes for both of you. Now be gone. -Of course.
As you wish.
[Tripitaka through puppet] Pigsy! You were right not to trust him.
Help me! Please, help me!
Please, help! Help me!
The scrolls. The scrolls are missing.
-[grunts] -Hey, the scrolls are missing.
Ah, it's the old man!
The scrolls, we know you've got them. Where are they?
What use would I have for scrolls?
Oh, we're about to find out, aren't we?
[Tripitaka through puppet] Yes, Pigsy, I'm in here. Open it.
No. Not the old man. The little boy.
I saw him creeping around.
[Tripitaka through puppet] No, Pigsy. That's not me. Don't listen to her.
I'm in here!
Hello, Kaedo Zef. Where are the scrolls?
What? I don't have the scrolls.
Liar. He's a liar.
[Monkey] Oh! What are these?
I knew he was up to no good.
Kaedo Zef, you are a traitor to the quest.
Leave now, and we'll let you live.
[Tripitaka through puppet] He's turning us against each other.
You're on to him, Pigsy. Follow your gut!
Tripitaka's not herself.
-Who else could she be? -It's an expression.
You could say that none of us are ever truly ourselves
unless we are alone,
-and even then-- -Something weird is going on.
And it's been happening since that puppeteer showed up.
I know. I mean, if he really wanted to create a great show,
why isn't he talking to me?
How do I puppet a god?
"Create from shadow,
what you would use for darkness,
light will never yield."
How do I create my own god for evil?
The Scroll of Creation.
[Pigsy] Ah! Crossroads!
Old man, this is where we part ways.
You take the high road, we'll take the low.
But our journey together has only just begun.
Yeah, nah. Well, we've got it from here.
Uh, but maybe we can meet up somewhere down the line.
Like maybe way, way down?
No! He's a poor old man. We will not abandon him.
I am a puppeteer, nothing more.
-Oh, let's see, shall we? -[Hagfish grunts]
Pigsy, what are you doing? Stop that!
[Hagfish] Please be careful.
My puppets are all I have left.
Pigsy! This is no way to treat a guest.
There's something not right about him, and you all know it!
He's overstayed his welcome.
Or perhaps you've overstayed yours.
[scoffs]
Your usefulness is your size, not your intellect.
Now you've shown your weakness, you can make amends with your strength.
Take the low path and clear obstacles ahead.
[Pigsy exhales sharply]
-[yelps] -It's clear none of you care
whether I live or die.
[Pigsy grunting]
Strength and size, that's all I am?
Might as well be a yak. [grunts]
What should we do?
It's Tripitaka, she must know what she's doing.
But what if Pigsy's right, and she isn't herself?
[Monkey clears throat] So...
where should we stop...
and wait for Pigsy?
His path will rejoin with ours up ahead.
Before or after the next chapter of our quest?
You know... the quest?
The thing you've been obsessing over day and night ever since we first met.
Kaedo! He wants the scrolls. Catch him.
-[clangs] -Oh!
Hello, large man in the forest.
I am no man.
Not today. You should have stayed hidden, demon.
[yells]
[grunts]
Hi.
-Where are you headed? -[choking]
-What is your plan? -Can we start over?
Stop running. We've got you!
Where are your gods now?
It appears that you have served your purpose.
And I no longer need you.
Time to die, monk!
[Tripitaka screaming] No!
-[Hagfish laughing] -[screaming]
[cracks]
[Hagfish groans]
[Hagfish] The pain! The unfathomable pain!
Get used to it, 'cause there's more where that came from.
-Crusty old crate! -[Hagfish grunting]
Please, I'm just an old man!
And I'm just a snotty-nosed kid.
Tripitaka, I'm not your enemy.
I'm sorry. I thought you came back to steal the scrolls.
-[groans] -Fangkris poison. I win, little boy.
I always win.
Not for long. [grunts]
-[Tripitaka gasps] -[Kaedo groans]
-[Monkey] Little monk!
Tripitaka...
What's happened?
I didn't want anyone to get hurt. I swear it!
[Sandy] Pigsy was to meet us here.
Where is Pigsy?
[Pigsy yells, groans]
Oh. There he is.
[groaning]
[footsteps thudding]
Hello, my lord.
What have you done to him?
Nothing compared to what I'm going to do to you, Monkey King.
Well, then...
We shall... see about that.
[Gorm] Looking for this?
Hmm?
[Gorm grunts]
[grunting]
Give me the scrolls.
Why don't you... come get them?
Very well, then.
[Monkey and Sandy grunting]
[coughs]
[Monkey grunting]
[panting]
I expected much more from a demon so ugly.
[grunts]
[Sandy yells]
[Monkey grunting]
[Hagfish grunting]
[Hagfish] I got them. I have the scrolls.
[Gorm yells]
[Tripitaka] Monkey, hold your breath.
We must escape the love gas.
Leave the Monkey King.
[Gorm] Your lucky day.
[Tripitaka] Kaedo?
Pigsy!
[groaning softly]
[sobbing]
