00:00The End
00:30The End
01:00This is the Black Hill of Ardu, once the home of an ancient race of evil giants.
01:08All the giants had gone by the time of Æthelred's reign.
01:12All the giants, that is.
01:13Except one.
01:15The last of the Ardu giants.
01:18He'd been asleep for hundreds of years, and would awake only if someone spoke his secret name.
01:23Ah, my large friend.
01:30Soon you'll awake to do my bidding.
01:38Back off.
01:39Once the giant awakens, nothing can stop him.
01:44He'll tear Æthelred's castle down, stone by stone.
01:51I will speak his name again.
01:56He'll return to his slumber, and the kingdom will be mine.
02:02Enough!
02:08Get out of sight.
02:09The time has come.
02:15And now, my ancient friend.
02:20Your name I speak.
02:23Awake, Æthelred's castle seek.
02:29Gwedean.
02:31Gwedean.
02:34Gwedean.
02:37Someone has spoken my name.
02:40The long slumber is over.
02:43Now, to claim again the lands that were mine these long years ago.
02:53No, no, no, no.
02:54That's not right at all.
02:57Try it again.
02:59I'll try again.
03:03Oh, I never knew anything could sound that awful.
03:10Poor teacher.
03:11Don't you think I'm getting better, Dirk?
03:14Uh, yes.
03:15Well, uh, of course.
03:19What was that?
03:21We'd better find out.
03:23All of you and your puny little castle get off my lands.
03:31By the dragon's teeth, it's a giant.
03:34Stop in the name of King Æthelred.
03:37Oops.
03:38King who?
03:40Now I've got you right where I want you.
03:43I'll deal with you first.
03:46Then I'll tear your castle down.
03:50That's what you think.
03:52Yuh.
03:54You can't escape me.
03:57Escape nothing.
03:58You want a fight?
03:59You've got one.
04:01Whoa.
04:01Hold still so I can squash you.
04:05Oh, sure.
04:07Anything for a friend.
04:12Come on, giant.
04:14I'm ready for you.
04:17That puny sword won't help you.
04:20I guess I'm not as ready as I thought.
04:22Now I've got you.
04:29This really isn't a fair fight.
04:34Run!
04:34Boy, are you heavy.
04:41You'll pay for this.
04:44Think again, giant.
04:46I'll sacrifice myself to save the kingdom.
04:50All I have to do is let go of this tree.
04:52All right.
04:56Don't let go.
04:58I'll make a bargain with you.
05:02If you can survive a day and a night alone inside the Black Hill,
05:08I'll leave your kingdom forever.
05:11Sounds good.
05:13Hang on.
05:15Sure am glad I had a good breakfast.
05:20You don't have to go to the Black Hill if Harold can find the giant's name.
05:26Name?
05:27Yes.
05:28Speak his name.
05:29Then he'll go back to sleep.
05:33I can't.
05:35The name isn't here.
05:37It's an ancient secret.
05:39Well, it looks like I'm off to the Black Hill of Ardu.
05:43Not without me, you're not.
05:45All right, but only as far as the hill.
05:48I have to go in alone.
05:53What?
05:55I hadn't counted on this.
05:57That stupid giant made a bargain.
06:02Dirk is just lucky enough to survive inside the Black Hill, too.
06:09Quiet!
06:10Get to the Black Hill.
06:17Make certain that Dirk does not survive.
06:27Are you sure you want to go through with this, Sir Dirk?
06:29I'm worried about you, Dirk.
06:32I made a bargain.
06:33Now, get back to the castle and keep an eye on that giant.
06:37Wow!
06:38Look at that!
06:41See you in the morning.
06:44I get the feeling there's something really weird going on.
06:48Something like...
06:49Giddy goons!
06:50Let's get out of here before they see us.
06:58Ouch!
07:04Timothy?
07:07Come on, Bertram.
07:13This isn't very comfortable, Bertie.
07:16Quick, Bertram.
07:22Across that stream!
07:26Whoa!
07:29Yuh!
07:34Oof!
07:34Ouch!
07:35That ought to hold him for a while.
08:02Let's go!
08:02Boy, I sure will be glad to get back home.
08:13We can't go home now.
08:15Those were Giddy goons!
08:17Well, that means Singe is behind all this, right?
08:21And that means we have to go to Singe's castle, right?
08:25Singe must know the giant's name.
08:27We have to make him tell us.
08:29Yeah, sure.
08:30Hey, this place isn't so bad.
08:39I'll just find myself a quiet spot to spend the night.
08:42Daphne was all worried over nothing.
09:05Hmm, must be the night watchman.
09:14YAH!
09:15HOO!
09:22YAH!
09:23I'll have to be more careful.
09:28Hmm.
09:48Uh, hope I didn't wake you.
09:51Uh-oh.
09:53Dirk was really in a pickle.
09:59Thanks to Singe's giddy goons, he had crypt creeps in front of him.
10:03A deadly black goo behind him.
10:05How would you have gotten out of it?
10:16What would you have done if you were Dirk?
10:18Attacking the nasty crypt creeps would have ended up this way.
10:22Uh-oh.
10:25Not exactly the wisest choice.
10:35Dirk could have tried a tactical retreat, but that meant getting past the nasty black goo.
10:41Ha-ha!
10:42Ha-ha!
10:43Ha-ha!
10:44Ha-ha!
10:45Uh-oh.
10:49That would have been a rather messy solution.
10:51Dirk, however, was pretty sharp.
10:53He had heard the giddy goons chuckling away behind the door.
10:57Did you figure out what Dirk decided to do?
10:59Pretty good, if I do say so myself.
11:00Hmm.
11:01Hmm.
11:02I'm losing weight.
11:03That giant tricked me.
11:04I'd better find a way out of here fast.
11:05I'm losing weight.
11:06That giant tricked me.
11:07I'd better find a way out of here fast.
11:10Yes, the giant tricked Dirk.
11:11Dirk.
11:12The black hill itself was turning Dirk into a skeleton.
11:16By morning there would be nothing left unless Daphne and Timothy had seen them by turning
11:23Dirk to see Dirk.
11:24No way.
11:25No way."
11:26Dirk was not a nightmare beyond the Follow-up.
11:27Dirk had done a diit.
11:28No way.
11:29Yes, you're mad.
11:30It's a stupid plan.
11:31You're mad.
11:32You're mad.
11:33Well, I did nothing.
11:34I could do nothing for this part.
11:35But let me go back there.
11:36You're mad.
11:37Did you find me out of here?
11:38You're mad.
11:39That's why I'm dying.
11:41Although, I'm not alone for it.
11:42I'm a告訴 man.
11:43You're smart.
11:44Uh-oh.
11:45and Timothy could find out the giant's secret name.
11:59How are we going to get Sims to tell us the giant's name?
12:03I have it all figured out.
12:08I could use one of these.
12:11Well, I guess he won't mind.
12:13Of course not.
12:15It's just an empty suit of armor.
12:32Timothy, I told you to be quiet.
12:41Wait for me!
12:42I bet this leads to Singe.
12:45That's what worries me.
12:56Oh, Princess, wait up!
13:01If you don't be quiet, I'm going to send you home.
13:14Okay.
13:15By yourself.
13:18Well, I'll stay here and protect you.
13:23Oh, no!
13:24Oh, no!
13:28No!
13:41Must you be so clumsy, Timothy?
13:43I'll stay here and see.
13:44I'll stay here and see.
13:45I'll stay here and see.
13:46I'll stay here and see.
13:47I'll stay here and see.
13:48Never mind.
13:49Let's go this way.
13:53Be careful, Tim.
13:54You don't have to tell me that.
13:56Ah!
13:57This is it.
13:58We found it!
13:59The dragon's lair!
14:00Yeah.
14:01Now what?
14:02Well, this is as far as my plan went.
14:07There's got to be a way out of here.
14:09There was a way out.
14:10And Dirk had to find it before he turned to bones.
14:14Uh-oh.
14:16Ah!
14:17Ah!
14:18Ah!
14:19Ah!
14:20Ah!
14:21Ah!
14:22Ah!
14:23Ah!
14:24Ah!
14:25Ah!
14:26Ah!
14:27Ah!
14:28Ah!
14:29Ah!
14:30Ah!
14:31Ah!
14:32Ah!
14:33Ah!
14:34Ah!
14:35Ah!
14:36Ah!
14:37Ah!
14:38Ah!
14:40Ah!
14:41Ah!
14:42Ah!
14:43Ah!
14:44Ah!
14:45Ah!
14:46Ah!
14:47Ah!
14:48Ah!
14:49Ah!
14:50Phew.
15:00Hmm.
15:01That's strange.
15:02Guess I better take the stairs.
15:09Maybe I won't take the stairs.
15:39Maybe this is the way out.
15:49Dirk had foiled Cindy's giddy goons once again, but how much longer could he last?
15:55Fortunately, Daphne had a new plan, sort of.
15:59Okay, get one of those lanterns.
16:02Well, here goes.
16:06Good going. Now, watch this.
16:08Do I have to?
16:11It's working quick. Make noises like a giant.
16:23What the?
16:24Whidian, what are you doing here?
16:29We got it, Tim. We got the name.
16:33Yeah, and I think we're about to get something else, too.
16:37You're not the giant. You're just a puny princess.
16:43Puny? Why, I'll have you know I...
16:46Yeah, I think we should leave now.
16:48After them. They know the giant's name.
16:52This way. There's a tunnel ahead.
16:59Oh, maybe there's another way.
17:05No time.
17:07What's going on? We're moving.
17:19I hope this leads somewhere.
17:29Yeah, away from Singe.
17:36Faster, idiots! Faster!
17:39Oh, no! It's Singe!
17:41You won't escape me!
17:44Look, Tim. We're almost at the end.
17:47You can say that again. We can't stop this thing.
17:50Yeah!
17:52Yeah!
17:53Yeah!
17:54Guess I finally got rid of those giddy goons.
17:56Maybe this is the way out.
17:57Whoa! Whoa!
17:59Whoa!
18:00Daphne! Timothy!
18:01Dirk!
18:02You look terrible!
18:04You really know how to make a knight feel good.
18:05We've got to get you out of here.
18:07That's the only door I haven't tried.
18:08It must be the way out.
18:09Push!
18:10Push!
18:11Push!
18:12Push!
18:13Push!
18:14Push!

18:50Push!
18:51Push!
18:52After them!
18:53Good as new!
18:54We got the giant's name, Dirk!
18:56Well, what are we waiting for?
19:01Good boy, Bert.
19:03Bert, you're always there when I need you.
19:14It's morning and no dark.
19:18Time to claim my old lands.
19:23Hold on, giant.
19:24We had a bargain, remember?
19:27You've got no bargain with me.
19:30Singe was right.
19:31He'd cheated everybody.
19:33With the giant on one side,
19:35and with Singe on the other, what could Dirk do?
19:38He knew he couldn't beat the giant,
19:41so he could have had a go at Singe.
19:43Hi-yah!
19:47But then again, maybe that wasn't the best plan.
19:50Dirk wisely decided to use his one real weapon,
19:53the giant's secret name.
19:55Quick, Daphne, say the name.
19:58No!
20:01You idiot!
20:02Weid-hi-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y.
20:11Look, it worked!
20:19You've ruined everything.
20:22I'll get you for this, Dirk the Daring!
20:34I say well done, my boy!
20:37Very well done to you all!
20:40We saved the kingdom, Dirk!
20:43Yes, we did.
20:45Thus was the kingdom saved.
20:47Daphne wrote down the secret name
20:49just in case that nasty giant ever returned.
20:52And that's how I happen to know
20:55the legend of the giant's name.
21:19Yeah!
21:21Yeah!
21:22Well done, we have to move this thing.
21:25Here, after a time.
21:26I have to move this from the roof.
21:28To be continued...
21:29By the way, I'll walk this way.
21:30Where is our life?
21:31I have to go.
21:32I love you!
21:34I love you!
21:35I love you!
21:36And I know you'll run away.
21:37I've got our life!
21:38I love you!
21:39I love you!
21:40I love you!
21:41I love you!
21:42I love you!
21:43I love you!
21:44I love you!
21:45I love you!
21:46I love you!
