Screenplay data
Elvish Prince Nuada seeks to reclaim the mythical Golden Army to wage war against humanity, prompting Hellboy and his BPRD team to intervene. After tracking Nuada to a Troll Market and learning about the Golden Army's controlling crown, Nuada attacks BPRD headquarters, wounding Hellboy and kidnapping his sister, Princess Nuala, who holds the final crown piece. The team consults the Angel of Death to heal Hellboy and locate the Golden Army, leading to a confrontation where Hellboy defeats Nuada in single combat. Princess Nuala sacrifices herself to keep the Golden Army dormant, leading Hellboy and his team to resign from the BPRD as Liz reveals her pregnancy with twins.

A shameful truce, worth nothing. How can you abide it? How- ? They have no respect for themselves, their Gods or the earth- And they scorn us- every time they raise a dead, cold building, destroy a forest, or take more land-
All my life I thought I was alone, a made-up name and a random pasted on a cylinder. But then I saw her- She's like me. A creature from another world... Alone... Brother Red- I think I'm in love.
In ancient times a seal like this was delivered to the enemy as a declaration of war. A signal from the underground realm to the entire world. It prefaced the awakening of the Golden Army-
I know- It's not just the money. It's the provocation. This is asking for trouble. His ego- is out of control. And I think it's all deliberate on his part. He hates me.
I can turn my back on the world. I don't care anymore I don't- as long as you stay with me- as long as you think I'm still a good man. Am I a good man, Liz?? Am I??
I have returned from exile to set us free. All of us, Father- And to reclaim what has been taken from our people. The land and the freedom that is rightfully ours.
Third century, the Teutoburg forest. Famished. They feed on calcium- And they do go for the teeth first. How do you think they got that name "Tooth Fairies"??
Then, I regret to say, you may not see your father. It is the protocol, sire. For peasant and prince alike. Please- for the last time- surrender your sword.
