21:22the man. But a true champion fights real enemies, not wild beasts. Eight of the finest gladiators
21:30hungry for a challenge. He's not going to let us leave, is he? Nope. He's going to milk this until
21:42we win or get turned into leather. Okay, then we win. That's the first thing you've said that
21:51made sense.
22:27Four down! Four to go! Keep moving!
22:36Leo. The Emperor. Look at the Emperor.
22:48Bring the arena hound to my pavilion. This fighter comes too. I'm done with the rest.
22:56You just became the most valuable creature in the Empire. Don't let it go to your head.
23:00I'm a dog. My head is the right size for my body. But thanks for noticing. You're being
23:06worshipped by a Roman Emperor. I'm sitting on a stone step.
23:09Right now you're my plus one. And you're welcome.
23:26He wants to prove something.
23:30I built everything here. You made me look like a joke. I'm going to kill you myself
23:36and stuff your dog!
23:38Villains always talk too much. You wrote that.
23:41I just have to stop being afraid for five seconds.
23:43Villains. You've got me.
23:54You can fight.
23:56No. But I can learn.
23:59Villains.
24:12He's enjoying this. That's the problem.
24:14Then we end it fast.
24:17Villains.

24:59bad answer. But whatever happens, I'm not leaving you. You're the best thing that's ever happened
25:06to me. Period. That's a better answer. It's time. Promise me. Remember what I was like here.
25:19Anything. I'll remember every word.
25:37Buddy, you okay? I'm fine. A little hungry, actually. You're still talking. I don't know
25:46why. So either this is permanent or you're dreaming. Can we order pizza with pepperoni
25:50and breadsticks? Yeah, we can order pizza with pepperoni and breadsticks.
26:01I'll get to you soon.
26:09Ever lived.
26:26It's waiting. The next one. Then write it. I'm tired. I got stabbed yesterday.
26:32You're right. And you still talk the whole way through.
26:34I was providing commentary. That's different.
26:41You don't write like someone who's ever lived.
26:45He found out he wasn't in a room. A world smaller than the palm of his hand.
26:50And everyone in it was looking up.
26:52I know that feeling. It's a dog thing. We always look up.
27:01I think this one's just for me.
27:06I'll wait. Try not to take too long.
27:23I'll keep the pizza warm.
27:53I'll keep the pizza warm.
27:54really big.
28:00You giant monster!
28:08I'm not here to hurt anyone. I'm just lost.
28:14You think we are words on a page? This is our kingdom!
28:23You have three hours to leave. Or we will declare war on you.
28:33My name is Leo.
28:34Maybe you need to understand who the real enemy is.
28:48By order of Princess Mira! Surrender or be destroyed!
28:52I'm not your enemy.
28:54I just want to leave.
28:55You crushed three fields of barley with your left foot!
28:58You displaced two families from their homes.
29:01You are a disaster wearing shoes!
29:03I... I didn't know I was stepping on things.
29:06I'm sorry. Can I help fix it?
29:10You want to help fix it?
29:12I can rebuild a chimney in one second.
29:14I can plant new barley in maybe one minute.
29:22I will report this to the Princess.
29:24But if this is a trick,
29:25if you attack when we lower our guard...
29:27Then you can declare war on me.
29:29I'll stand still and let you try.
29:32Deal?
29:42I need to write a way out of here.
29:45But first...
29:47I need to figure out what I've walked into.
30:07The soldier said you apologized.
30:09Is that true?
30:10Or did you just say that to buy time?
30:12It's true.
30:13I stepped on your fields and I didn't mean to.
30:14I can't undo what I did,
30:16but I can help fix what comes next.
30:19You're not from here.
30:20Where are you from?
30:22A place called Brooklyn.
30:23I have a dog there waiting for me.
30:27I'll make you a deal.
30:28Help me with something.
30:29And I'll consider letting you find your way out.
30:32What is it?
30:33My father is trapped.
30:35Locked in the North Tower for three months.
30:37You might be the only ally I have left.
30:40You didn't tell me his name.
30:44His name is King Aldric.
30:45He used to tell me stories about giants.
30:48He said they were just stories.
30:50He was wrong.
30:52Then let me meet him.
30:53I'll get your father back.
30:57If you're lying to me,
30:58I'll make you regret it.
31:00I've been lied to before.
31:01I don't do it to other people.
31:10I won't be here forever.
31:12But while I'm here,
31:13I'll get you home.
31:18The top.
31:19There's a door in the roof.
31:20Locked from the outside.
31:22I've tried a hundred times.
31:24Can't climb the walls.
31:25No ladder tall enough.
31:26I can reach it.
31:27I can reach it.
31:40Father.
31:41Father.
31:42Are you there?
31:43It's me.
31:44It's Mira.
31:50Mira.
31:52You brought a mountain.
31:55He's not a mountain.
31:56He's Leo.
31:57He came to help.
32:01You're not a myth.
32:02Giants aren't myths.
32:03My daughter was right to trust you.
32:05I'm not a giant anywhere else.
32:07Just here.
32:08I won't be here forever.
32:09But while I'm here,
32:11I'll get you home.
32:13Then take me home.
32:27What do you want?
32:29What have we done to you?
32:48I'm coming in.
32:51I'll be careful not to hurt anyone.
32:55This is not a negotiation.
33:13What do you want?
33:15What have we done to you?
33:16He doesn't want anything.
33:18I do.
33:19The throne.
33:20My father's freedom.
33:22You've had your time.
33:25I had no choice.
33:27Someone had to take control.
33:30You took advantage.
33:32And it ends today.
33:35If you ever come back,
33:37I'll be in the tower.
33:51Leo!
33:52Hey, Leo!
33:57Yes.
33:58Everything okay?
34:00I wanted to say thank you for staying.
34:03I'm not the kind of person who steps on people who ask nicely.
34:07When you go, where do you go?
34:09A place called Brooklyn.
34:11More pizza.
34:12I don't know what that is.
34:14It's something you eat, and it's good, and it's warm.
34:17When I get back, I'll have a slice and think about this place.
34:21If you ever come back, I'll be in the tower.
34:25I'll be waiting, so you can tell me what pizza tastes like.
34:29I'll remember that.
34:32I think it's time.
34:34Go eat your pizza.
34:37And come back when you have a better story to tell.
35:06You can leave, giant.
35:08Go back to where you came from.
35:11But if you do, this whole city goes with you all.
35:15Every person.
35:17That's what you'll carry with you when you leave.
35:38You're not the villain I wrote.
35:40You're worse.
35:41Because you wrote yourself.
35:43And your story ends here.
35:51You stayed.
35:53I said I'd help you finish it.
35:56And I meant it.
36:05Goodbye, Leo from Brooklyn.
36:09You were gone for four hours.
36:11I counted.
36:12I was gone for what felt like days.
36:23You were gone for four hours.
36:25I counted.
36:30I was gone for what felt like days.
36:35I know that feeling.
36:37Time runs different in stories.
36:58That's three.
36:59I think you've got it.
37:07I think it's done now.
37:09The writing part, I mean.
37:14What now, then?
37:16Now, I write the next one.
37:19The one that's just me.
37:24My name is Leo Miller.
37:25I have lived every word I've written.
37:47Leo, I got the packages.
37:49I read them in order.
37:50I felt it.
37:51Every page.
37:52Every character.
37:53You went somewhere.
37:54You felt something.
37:55And you brought it back.
37:56You're someone else now.
37:57Someone who's lived.
37:58Keep writing.
38:07So, what now?
38:09You gonna write a fourth one?
38:11I'm ready to write something new.
38:13Something that's just...
38:14what I know now.
38:23I'm glad I was in one of them.
38:25The pizza part was good.
38:26You were the best part of that one.
38:29I'm...
38:30I'm...
38:35I'm...
38:37I'm...
38:44I'm...
