WARNING: HUGE SPOILERS!!
Meantime, Trumpkin is taken to Miraz, who "frames" the Narnians as Caspian's "kidnappers". Trumpkin is shown off before the Telmarine council as a Prisoner Of War, then taken out to the river-mouth to be drowned.
The Telmarine who rows the boat complains to his companion that the Dwarf is looking at him. The second Telmarine tells the first, "Don't look at him." The first Telmarine tries to look away, but is rather unnerved by Trumpkin's steady glare.
And as the Telmarines are about to toss Trumpkin out into the water, a young woman's voice shouts, "Drop him!" The Pevensies to the rescue!
We hear the recurrence of the Narnia theme as it played when Peter, Susan, and Lucy were riding the ice on the river in Wardrobe. The Telmarines do drop Trumpkin... into the water. As Susan shoots at the soldiers, Peter and Edmund dive into the water to help the Dwarf.
On the beach, Trumpkin grumbles about Susan saying "drop him," saying that the Telmarines didn't need any help trying to drown him. In less than a minute, though, Trumpkin realizes something.
Trumpkin: "Oh, you've got to be kidding me. You're the Kings and Queens of old."
Peter: (holds out his hand to shake) "High King Peter the Magnificent."
(Trumpkin stares at Peter's hand.)
Susan: "You probably could have left out that last bit."
(Edmund laughs.)
Trumpkin: (grins and almost laughs) "Probably."
Peter gives Trumpkin his sword to fight Edmund - Trumpkin has some trouble holding it at first! He soon recovers, and Edmund go at it fairly well.
And instead of wasting precious time over Trumpkin's disbelief, he believes right away. Also, he tells the Pevensies what is happening in Narnia on the way to meet up with the Narnians - another good use of screen time.
