[first lines]
The Huntsman: [voice over] Once upon a time, in deep winter, a queen was admiring the falling snow, when she saw a rose blooming in defiance of the cold. Reaching for it, she pricked her finger and three drops of blood fell. And because the red seemed so alive against the white, she thought, if only I had a child as white as snow, lips as red as blood, hair as black as a raven’s wings and all of the strength of that rose. Soon after, a daughter was born to the queen and was named, Snow White. And she was adored throughout the kingdom, as much for her defiance as for her beauty.

King Magnus: You’ll be the ruin of me.
Ravenna: Indeed, my lord.

Ravenna: You would kill your queen?
[she pulls the son towards her]
Ravenna: Such courage, such beauty. How strong is your heart?
[Ravenna touches his chest and sucks the life from his heart, killing him, the soldiers grab the father]
Ravenna: Leave him! Let him return to the Duke and speak of the generosity of his queen.

[Snow shakes her head, Finn sits next to her on her bed]

Snow White: You’ve never come in before.
Finn: My sister won’t allow it. She wants you all to herself.
Snow White: I’m afraid of her.
Finn: And not of me?
Snow White: No.
[Finn leans towards her and touches her face]
Finn: Fear not, princess, you will never again be locked in this cell.
Snow White: What does she want from me?
Finn: You’re beating heart.
[suddenly Snow White strikes Finn in the face with a nail and runs out of her prison cell, locks him in the cell and runs to Greta’s cell but sees that Greta has become an old woman, Greta tells Snow White to run]

[after Finn and his soldiers lose Snow White in the Dark Forest]
Ravenna: How is that an innocent young girl makes a fool of my brother? And only with a nail. If she’d had a sword, she’d have taken my kingdom. Bring me the king’s daughter, and you let her slip, right through your tiny little fingers! How? You swore that you would protect me! You swore!
[Ravenna paces back and forth, agitated]
Ravenna: Now there’s no one I can trust. No one! There’s no loyalty. No loyalty. None! Not even from you! Where is she?

[suddenly Ravenna strikes Finn in the face in anger]
Ravenna: She’s no good to me in the Dark Forest! Lost!
[she strikes Finn in the head]
Ravenna: I need her heart! You failed me, Finn!
Finn: [shouting] Have I not given all to you?
Ravenna: Have I not given you all?
Finn: Yes, sister.
[Finn starts crying]
Ravenna: Shh. Quite. I have no powers in the Dark Forest. You have to find me someone, someone who knows it. Someone who can hunt her.

[after the Huntsman has been brought to Ravenna]
Ravenna: My brother tells me you are a widower. A drunkard, and one of few who has ventured into the Dark Forest.
The Huntsman: Aye.
Ravenna: One of my prisoners has escaped there.
The Huntsman: Well then he’s dead.
Ravenna: She.
The Huntsman: Then she is certainly dead.
Ravenna: Find her, bring her to me.
The Huntsman: No, I’ve been to that forest, I’m not going back.
Ravenna: You will be rewarded handsomely.
The Huntsman: What good is gold to me if I’m lying dead with crows picking at my eyes?

The Huntsman: Why is she of such value?
Ravenna: That is none of your concern.
The Huntsman: I’ll determine what concerns me, thank you.
Ravenna: You will do this for me, Huntsman!
The Huntsman: And if I refuse?
[the queen’s guards all level their spears at him]
The Huntsman: Do me the favor, I beg of you.
[to the guards]

Finn: You did your job well. Now keep your word.

The Huntsman: I said, shut up!
Snow White: No! No!

[to Finn]
The Huntsman: I’ll keep my word when the queen keeps hers! Where’s my wife?
Snow White: He’s going to betray you.
Finn: My sister has many powers. She can take life away, or sustain it. But she can’t bring your wife back from the dead, you fool!
The Huntsman: I want her back!
[the Huntsman attacks Finn and his men, Snow White runs off, the Huntsman throws Finn to the ground which sets off a poisonous gas and the Huntsman runs off after Snow White]
Finn: I will find you!

The Huntsman: Shh. Shh. Be quite. Alright?
[Snow White nods her head, he takes his hand away from her mouth and as soon as he does that she strikes him in the face and takes his sword]
The Huntsman: Hey! What the hell’s going on? Who are you? Why does the queen want you dead?
Snow White: She wants everyone dead, all of us!
The Huntsman: What makes you so damn valuable?
Snow White: You should know, you’re the one hunting me!
[the Huntsman winces in pain and touches his shoulder which has been wounded]
The Huntsman: Oh, forget it!
[he turns and starts walking off]
The Huntsman: I should have never got involved in the queen’s business.

Snow White: Where are you going?
The Huntsman: Getting away from you, you’re trouble, is what you are.
Snow White: I need to get to the Duke’s castle. There’s an army there.
The Huntsman: What, the Duke’s army?
[he laughs]
The Huntsman: Bunch of farmers and milkmaids with pitchforks. I know sheep that have more fight in them.
Snow White: I’m valuable. That’s why you’re here, isn’t it? If you return without me, you’re dead. If you leave me, I’m dead.
The Huntsman: Just for arguments sake, how much reward? Hmm?
Snow White: However much is enough.
The Huntsman: At least thirty gold pieces, no way…
Snow White: A hundred.

Snow White: Help me.
The Huntsman: Who are you?
Snow White: Maybe you should have asked the queen that.
The Huntsman: I don’t trust you.
Snow White: I’ve given you my word.
The Huntsman: I still don’t trust you. But you have a deal.
[he spits in the palm of his hand and holds his hand out for her to shake which she does]
The Huntsman: Give me that, before you lose a finger.

[he shows her the move with the knife]
The Huntsman: You’re small, so wait until they’re close and you drive it through their heart, to the hilt. You understand? You do not hesitate, and you look in their eyes, and do not pull it out until you see their soul.
Snow White: I couldn’t do that.
The Huntsman: Well, you might not have a choice.
[he turns and walks off]

The Huntsman: I told you to run!
Snow White: If I had you’d be dead.

[after Snow and the Huntsman get sanctuary in a village of women]
The Huntsman: You got nothing to drink?
Snow White: You have traveled far, carried a great burden.
The Huntsman: I’ve had worse jobs. Anyway, she’s not that heavy.
[he looks over at Snow White, who’s playing with one of the little girls from the village]

The Huntsman: What do you mean?
[he looks over at Snow again]

William: You see, child, love always betrays us.
[Snow stumbles to the ground as she finds it difficult to breath]

[as Snow is coughing and choking, William suddenly transforms into Ravenna]
Ravenna: By fairest blood it was done, and only by fairest blood can it be undone. You were the only one who could break the spell and destroy me. You’re the only one pure enough to save me. You don’t even realize how lucky you are to never to know what it is to grow old!
[she draws her knife to strike Snow White, but suddenly the Huntsman and the real William find them and stop Ravenna]
The Huntsman: No!
[as the Huntsman goes to attack Ravenna with his axe, Ravenna transforms into a cloud of crows, the Huntsman and William try to attack the crows but they flies off]

[as Snow White lies on the ground dying, William cradles her and begins to cry, the Huntsman, devastated, turns to the dwarves]
The Huntsman: What are you looking at? Do something! You’re dwarves, healers! Save her! Help her!
Muir: No. This cannot be.
[in Williams arms, Snow closes her eyes and appears to have died, William cries and kisses her but nothing happens]
William: Please!
[as they watch Snow die]
Gort: What will we do, Beith?
Beith: What we promised.

[after bringing Snow’s body to Duke Hammond’s castle, she is laid in the chapel in a white dress, the Huntsman sits near her body, drinking]
The Huntsman: Well, here you are, all dressed up like you’re about to wake up and give me more grief. Am I right? You deserved better. I once had a wife, princess. Sara was her name. When I came back from the war I carried with me the stench of death and the anger of the lost. I wasn’t worth saving, that’s for sure, but she did so anyway. And I loved her so much. I loved her more than anyone and anything, and then I let her out of my sight and she was gone. And I became myself again, a self I never cared for.
[he leans closer to Snow’s body and begins to cry]
The Huntsman: Until you, because you remind me of her. Her heart, her spirit. But now, you too have gone. You both deserved better and I’m so sorry I failed you. I’m so sorry. But you be a queen in heaven now and sit among the angels.
[he kisses her on the lips and leaves the chapel and as he leaves, Snow starts to breath, with tears rolling down her face and then she opens her eyes]

[William, thinking that Snow White is dead, tries to convince the Duke that they should attack Ravenna]
William: She died for us! For our cause! We cannot just hide behind these walls and watch this land die with her!
Duke Hammond: Your grief clouds your judgment, my son.
William: My grief makes me see clearer, father!
Duke Hammond: My duty is to protect those people who’ve come to me for help. I will defend them till the last drop of my blood, but I will not abandon these walls.
[suddenly, at that moment, Snow White walks out of the chapel]
Muir: The spell is lifted.

[after waking from Ravenna’s spell and walking out of the Chapel]
Duke Hammond: Death has favored you.
Snow White: Death favors no man. We must ride like thundering waves under the tented battle flag of my father.
Duke Hammond: You must rest.
Snow White: We have rested long enough.
[as she’s talking to the Duke a crowd has gathered in the courtyard of the Duke’s castle, Snow turns to the crowd and whispers]
Snow White: Frost to fire, to fire to frost.
[Snow addresses the crowd]
Snow White: Iron will melt, but it will writhe inside of itself! All these years, all I’ve known is darkness. But I have never seen a brighter light than when my eyes just opened. And I know that light burns in all of you! Those embers must turn to flame. Iron into sword! I will become your weapon! Forged with a fierce fire that I know is in your hearts! For I have seen what she sees, I know what she knows. I can kill her. And I’d rather die today than live another day of this death! And who will ride with me? Who will be my brother?
[the crowd shouts ‘I’ simultaneously and kneel before her, with the Huntsman joining them]

[after Snow White and her army set off to attack Ravenna, we see Ravenna back at her castle, looking beautiful and powerful again after sucking every last woman in the castle dry]
Ravenna: Where are they?
Black Knight General: Amassed on the cliffs. They’re numbers have swollen. They say the king’s standard flies again.
Ravenna: Then let them come. Let them break their skulls on these stone walls and bring me my prize.

[as Snow White knows about the secret entrance to the castle via the sewer pipe, the dwarves wade through the sewer to sneak inside the castle]
Nion: We’re promised gold, and what do we get? Poo!
Gort: Wurgh! That looks like one of mine!

[the Huntsman rides up to Snow as she’s giving instructions on when to attack the castle]
The Huntsman: So you’re back from the dead and instigating the masses. You look very fetching in mail.

[after Snow White and her men ride into the castle through hails of arrows, boiling oil and flame bombs, Snow slips through the fray and enters Ravenna’s room, Ravenna fends off William, the Huntsman and some of Snow’s men with warriors made from glass]
Ravenna: Come and avenge your father, who was too weak to raise his sword.
[shouting in rage Snow thunders towards Ravenna attacking her with her sword, but Ravenna easily fends her off]

[Snow tries to attack Ravenna again, cutting her hand which heals quickly, Ravenna then slams Snow to the ground and grabs her head]
Ravenna: Go on, watch them die!
[Snow watches as William, the Huntsman and her soldiers try to fend off Ravenna’s glass warriors]
Ravenna: How does it feel, knowing you were the one who led them to their deaths? You see, we’re not that different, are we?
[Snow struggles out of Ravenna’s grasp]
Snow White: I’m everything you’re not!

[Snow tries to attack Ravenna but Ravenna grabs her sword and throws Snow across the room, a flame form around Ravenna]
Ravenna: You cannot defeat me! I’ve lived twenty lives. Ravaged entire kingdoms. I have been given powers that you could not even fathom! I will never stop. Never! I will give this retched world the queen it deserves!
[as Snow goes to grab her sword on the ground, Ravenna kicks her aside and raises her dagger]
Ravenna: By fairest blood it is done!
[as Ravenna goes to strike Snow, suddenly Snow blocks Ravenna’s arm and uses her own dagger to stab Ravenna]
Snow White: And only by fairest blood is it undone.
[Ravenna gasps, takes out the dagger, staggers backward and collapses in front of the mirror]
Snow White: You can’t have my blood.
[Ravenna takes her last breath and withers away]

[last lines; as Snow White is getting crowned]
Priest: In the name of all that is good and just in this land, I crown you queen.
[he places the crown on her head, Snow stands and faces her people, who have been restored to health and youth]
Beith: Hail to the queen!
[the crowd chants out ‘Hail to the queen’, Snow then notices the Huntsman in the back of the crowd who stares at her, she smiles and then bows her head to her people]
