1
00:00:08,916 --> 00:00:10,500
{\an8}[Disa] A mountain's like a person.
2
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:14,000
Sing to it properly,
it will reflect your song back to you,
3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,250
showing you where to mine,
where to tunnel...
4
00:00:16,250 --> 00:00:18,375
And where to leave the mountain untouched.
5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:21,958
[Prince Durin IV] Father...
6
00:00:21,958 --> 00:00:23,833
It's more than we ever imagined.
7
00:00:23,833 --> 00:00:26,166
- King Durin, there is a...
- Enough!
8
00:00:26,166 --> 00:00:27,416
Seize the Elf.
9
00:00:28,375 --> 00:00:30,916
[Prince Durin IV]
Elrond is as much a brother to me
10
00:00:30,916 --> 00:00:34,250
as if he'd been fired
in my own mother's womb.
11
00:00:34,250 --> 00:00:36,041
[yells] How dare you!
12
00:00:36,041 --> 00:00:38,166
Invoke your mother's memory
13
00:00:38,166 --> 00:00:41,333
to defend your decision
to betray your own kind?
14
00:00:41,333 --> 00:00:43,625
It's you that's betrayed our kind!
15
00:00:43,625 --> 00:00:46,041
You profane the crown you wear!
16
00:00:46,625 --> 00:00:47,458
[metal clinks]
17
00:00:47,458 --> 00:00:48,583
[echoing clang]
18
00:00:49,875 --> 00:00:51,250
Leave it.
19
00:00:51,250 --> 00:00:52,750
It's not yours anymore.
20
00:00:55,125 --> 00:00:57,458
[Stranger] From shadow you came.
21
00:00:57,458 --> 00:01:00,083
To shadow I bid you return!
22
00:01:01,250 --> 00:01:03,125
[screams]
23
00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:04,750
[acolytes scream]
24
00:01:04,750 --> 00:01:07,625
You had that dream again last night,
didn't you?
25
00:01:07,625 --> 00:01:10,000
[Stranger] In the dream,
there's a kind of... branch.
26
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,375
Under the stars.
27
00:01:11,375 --> 00:01:12,958
[indistinct whispering]
28
00:01:14,125 --> 00:01:15,500
It appears we're being followed.
29
00:01:16,791 --> 00:01:17,625
[groans softly]
30
00:01:17,625 --> 00:01:19,583
[Poppy] I was
sifting through Sadoc's old book.
31
00:01:19,583 --> 00:01:21,541
I think it's some kinda directions.
32
00:01:21,541 --> 00:01:23,583
Welcome to the lands of Rhûn.
33
00:01:23,583 --> 00:01:25,500
Why you looking at it like that?
34
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:27,041
Like you've been here before.
35
00:01:27,041 --> 00:01:28,416
[Stranger] Only in dreams.
36
00:01:31,916 --> 00:01:33,250
[horse whinnies]
37
00:01:34,458 --> 00:01:35,625
Tell me your name.
38
00:01:35,625 --> 00:01:38,208
- I have had many names.
- [grunts]
39
00:01:38,208 --> 00:01:39,541
[Elrond] Where is Halbrand?
40
00:01:39,541 --> 00:01:42,500
[Galadriel] He is gone.
And I doubt he will return.
41
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:45,583
And should he ever,
none of us are to treat with him again.
42
00:01:45,583 --> 00:01:49,833
Elrond just informed me your companion
was not who he claimed.
43
00:01:49,833 --> 00:01:51,083
[Galadriel] He is not what I thought.
44
00:01:51,083 --> 00:01:52,666
He is Sauron.
45
00:01:52,666 --> 00:01:55,916
[Gil-galad] It is to be given directly
to Lord Celebrimbor.
46
00:01:56,500 --> 00:02:00,291
He must be informed
that Halbrand is Sauron.
47
00:02:00,291 --> 00:02:03,333
[Mirdania] Forgive me, my lord,
but a messenger has just arrived.
48
00:02:03,833 --> 00:02:05,416
Do we grant him entry?
49
00:02:09,291 --> 00:02:10,666
[rumbling]
50
00:02:19,125 --> 00:02:22,916
[whooshing]
51
00:02:22,916 --> 00:02:24,875
[sinister music playing]
52
00:03:10,583 --> 00:03:12,208
[music crescendoes, ends]
53
00:03:12,208 --> 00:03:14,083
[indistinct chatter]
54
00:03:20,291 --> 00:03:24,583
- Mole-tail stew, mole-tail stew...
- Oh.
55
00:03:24,583 --> 00:03:26,041
Wait.
56
00:03:26,041 --> 00:03:27,750
- Too dear.
- What?
57
00:03:28,625 --> 00:03:30,333
We're not paupers.
58
00:03:30,333 --> 00:03:33,291
You're the one said we'd be wise
to tighten our purse strings.
59
00:03:33,291 --> 00:03:36,375
Or were you not including yourself
when you said that?
60
00:03:37,166 --> 00:03:38,125
Hmm?
61
00:03:42,416 --> 00:03:44,041
You married a prince.
62
00:03:45,583 --> 00:03:47,583
But now you're bound to an outcast.
63
00:03:51,625 --> 00:03:54,625
I'm bound to the Dwarf I love.
64
00:03:56,791 --> 00:04:01,791
And I wouldn't trade his heart
for a mine full of fire opals.
65
00:04:05,125 --> 00:04:06,166
[sighs softly]
66
00:04:08,708 --> 00:04:10,458
Be nice to have the opals, though.
67
00:04:10,458 --> 00:04:12,375
- [Disa] Aye. It would.
- [chuckles]
68
00:04:12,375 --> 00:04:14,000
[chuckles softly]
69
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,083
Have you tried to talk to your father--
70
00:04:16,083 --> 00:04:19,500
Disa, you know
he will never agree to see me.
71
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:20,875
That's not what I asked.
72
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,666
Why should I be the one
to ask for an audience?
73
00:04:23,666 --> 00:04:25,541
- He disowned me!
- [rumbling]
74
00:04:25,541 --> 00:04:28,125
[Prince Durin IV]
He's as stubborn as a stone leg.
75
00:04:28,125 --> 00:04:30,458
[muffled] You're gonna have better luck
tryna bend a brick.
76
00:04:31,291 --> 00:04:32,458
You may as well f--
77
00:04:32,458 --> 00:04:33,541
Disa?
78
00:04:34,833 --> 00:04:35,833
Brace yourself.
79
00:04:35,833 --> 00:04:38,583
[rattling and rumbling]
80
00:04:38,583 --> 00:04:40,791
I said brace yourselves!
81
00:04:40,791 --> 00:04:42,000
Disa!
82
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,041
[all screaming]
83
00:04:49,958 --> 00:04:52,708
[people screaming]
84
00:04:59,708 --> 00:05:03,083
[Disa whimpers softly]
85
00:05:05,541 --> 00:05:06,791
[chuckles]
86
00:05:06,791 --> 00:05:08,208
[both grunting]
87
00:05:09,166 --> 00:05:11,333
- [rumbling subsides]
- [screaming dies down]
88
00:05:11,333 --> 00:05:13,000
- [both panting]
- [indistinct, panicked chatter]
89
00:05:18,041 --> 00:05:19,625
[rumbling]
90
00:05:19,625 --> 00:05:22,833
[ominous music playing]
91
00:05:25,541 --> 00:05:26,750
Durin.
92
00:05:28,708 --> 00:05:29,708
No.
93
00:05:31,541 --> 00:05:32,666
No, no, no, no.
94
00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:41,458
[opening theme music playing]
95
00:07:07,916 --> 00:07:09,458
[rustling]
96
00:07:09,458 --> 00:07:10,791
[birds chirping]
97
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:19,125
[in Sindarin] These lands shall bear you
98
00:07:19,125 --> 00:07:22,750
sweet blossoms once more.
99
00:07:29,041 --> 00:07:30,500
[in English] My dear brother.
100
00:07:39,291 --> 00:07:40,666
[footsteps approaching]
101
00:07:44,291 --> 00:07:45,541
[Galadriel] Lord Celebrimbor.
102
00:07:47,416 --> 00:07:49,333
They did not tell me you had arrived.
103
00:07:52,125 --> 00:07:53,333
What news?
104
00:07:53,333 --> 00:07:55,625
I've had an unexpected visitor.
105
00:07:57,541 --> 00:07:58,583
[sinister music playing]
106
00:07:58,583 --> 00:08:00,666
He has returned already?
107
00:08:04,291 --> 00:08:07,083
[Halbrand, echoing] Galadriel?
Galadriel? Galadriel?
108
00:08:07,083 --> 00:08:10,250
[wood creaking]
109
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,125
[twigs, leaves rustling]
110
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:25,083
Are they not the seeds you planted?
111
00:08:26,791 --> 00:08:27,916
[exclaims]
112
00:08:28,291 --> 00:08:33,125
[in Black Speech, distorted] Three rings
for the Elven-kings under the sky.
113
00:08:33,916 --> 00:08:38,375
Seven for the Dwarf-lords
in their halls of stone.
114
00:08:38,375 --> 00:08:43,541
Nine for mortal men
doomed to die. [grunts]
115
00:08:43,541 --> 00:08:45,125
[screams]
116
00:08:56,583 --> 00:08:59,083
[commander of the West]
We should attack Mordor from the north.
117
00:08:59,083 --> 00:09:02,000
We enter here, between the Ered Lithui
and the Ephel Arnen.
118
00:09:02,458 --> 00:09:05,416
[commander of the East] It would be wiser
to attack Adar from the east.
119
00:09:06,666 --> 00:09:08,833
What of the whereabouts of Sauron?
120
00:09:08,833 --> 00:09:13,083
Our spies indicate that Sauron
was last seen traveling into Mordor.
121
00:09:13,916 --> 00:09:17,500
We believe he intends to supplant Adar
and claim his armies.
122
00:09:17,500 --> 00:09:19,375
If we move swiftly,
123
00:09:19,375 --> 00:09:22,541
we may be able
to crush two spiders with one boot.
124
00:09:22,541 --> 00:09:24,958
And what says the Commander
of the Northern Armies?
125
00:09:25,916 --> 00:09:27,125
- Galadriel?
- [gasps]
126
00:09:27,916 --> 00:09:30,375
[voice shaking]
127
00:09:30,375 --> 00:09:33,791
Um, we should send ships up the Anduin,
128
00:09:34,625 --> 00:09:37,500
invade Mordor from the west.
129
00:09:42,416 --> 00:09:43,958
See to the preparations.
130
00:09:52,250 --> 00:09:54,375
It does not take the eye of an eagle
131
00:09:54,375 --> 00:09:57,458
to see your thoughts
have flown far afield.
132
00:09:57,458 --> 00:09:59,500
What troubles them?
133
00:10:01,375 --> 00:10:03,625
Sauron may well have traveled to Mordor,
134
00:10:05,625 --> 00:10:07,791
but we cannot be certain
that is where he remains.
135
00:10:09,875 --> 00:10:11,458
What makes you say that?
136
00:10:12,041 --> 00:10:13,166
Sauron...
137
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,791
sees himself
not as master of a barren waste,
138
00:10:18,958 --> 00:10:20,750
but of all Middle-earth.
139
00:10:23,416 --> 00:10:26,000
He seeks to rule it
not only through conquest,
140
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:31,000
but by bending the minds and wills
of all its peoples to his own.
141
00:10:31,583 --> 00:10:33,333
And for that, he needs not armies...
142
00:10:35,333 --> 00:10:36,583
but Rings.
143
00:10:37,333 --> 00:10:40,583
And he cannot craft them
without Celebrimbor.
144
00:10:40,583 --> 00:10:45,666
Sauron is alone, without army or ally.
145
00:10:46,208 --> 00:10:49,916
Eregion is protected by two rivers
146
00:10:49,916 --> 00:10:55,250
with miles of curtain wall
of dwarven stone, ten-foot thick.
147
00:10:56,916 --> 00:11:01,625
Rest assured,
Celebrimbor and the secrets of his craft
148
00:11:02,416 --> 00:11:03,416
are safe.
149
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:12,500
[thunder rumbling]
150
00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:14,083
[foreboding music plays]
151
00:11:22,208 --> 00:11:27,708
I tell you,
some veiled evil closes in on Celebrimbor.
152
00:11:28,708 --> 00:11:32,250
Sauron's plan is in motion even now.
153
00:11:32,833 --> 00:11:33,958
I know it.
154
00:11:35,666 --> 00:11:36,875
How?
155
00:11:39,916 --> 00:11:42,500
Since the wearing of this Ring,
I have felt...
156
00:11:44,166 --> 00:11:45,375
perceived...
157
00:11:46,541 --> 00:11:48,750
glimpses of the unseen world...
158
00:11:50,916 --> 00:11:54,541
as dreams unbidden,
coming forth to crowd my waking mind.
159
00:11:56,041 --> 00:11:58,458
You believe the Rings
have kindled your ability
160
00:11:58,458 --> 00:12:01,416
to see that
which has not yet come to pass?
161
00:12:04,291 --> 00:12:05,875
Have they kindled yours?
162
00:12:10,375 --> 00:12:12,541
I have seen mountains crumbling.
163
00:12:13,583 --> 00:12:18,375
Waters running dry. And clouds. Black.
Gathering over white towers.
164
00:12:18,375 --> 00:12:21,291
- Then send me to Eregion.
- Galadriel--
165
00:12:21,291 --> 00:12:24,625
- If Sauron is there, I will send word--
- You cannot face Sauron again.
166
00:12:26,875 --> 00:12:31,125
It is said that once the Deceiver
obtains a being's trust,
167
00:12:31,125 --> 00:12:34,500
he gains the ability
to sculpt their very thoughts.
168
00:12:35,083 --> 00:12:39,208
To deceive not only their heart and mind,
but their eyes and ears.
169
00:12:39,208 --> 00:12:41,708
To alter their very reality.
170
00:12:43,041 --> 00:12:45,250
You have already been affected once.
171
00:12:48,250 --> 00:12:49,208
Yes.
172
00:12:50,791 --> 00:12:52,208
He knows my mind.
173
00:12:53,875 --> 00:12:55,333
And I know his.
174
00:12:56,416 --> 00:12:58,541
Which is why I must face him.
175
00:12:59,416 --> 00:13:01,708
Why I alone can slay him.
176
00:13:01,708 --> 00:13:04,208
You once considered him a friend.
177
00:13:04,208 --> 00:13:06,458
- Halbrand was not a--
- Sauron.
178
00:13:07,875 --> 00:13:09,750
You cannot face him alone.
179
00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:14,958
Supposing... I was not alone?
180
00:13:15,583 --> 00:13:17,958
[bell tolling]
181
00:13:17,958 --> 00:13:19,458
[ethereal operatic music playing]
182
00:13:28,541 --> 00:13:30,625
[indistinct chatter]
183
00:13:38,750 --> 00:13:43,166
Lord Celebrimbor regrets to inform you
he's unable to grant you entry.
184
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,708
Mightn't I speak with him directly?
185
00:13:46,708 --> 00:13:48,083
[Mirdania] My lord is occupied.
186
00:13:48,083 --> 00:13:50,583
But he wishes you good fortune
on your journey.
187
00:13:51,166 --> 00:13:52,833
Are you asking me to leave?
188
00:13:55,125 --> 00:13:57,750
The Lord of Eregion is asking you.
189
00:14:00,166 --> 00:14:02,375
Perhaps I'll just wait here.
190
00:14:06,625 --> 00:14:08,375
Just in case he changes his mind.
191
00:14:23,791 --> 00:14:24,625
Is he gone?
192
00:14:24,625 --> 00:14:27,208
No. He refuses to leave, my lord.
193
00:14:30,625 --> 00:14:32,291
Well, he can refuse all he cares to.
194
00:14:32,291 --> 00:14:36,458
I promised Lady Galadriel before she left
that I would never treat with him again.
195
00:14:40,708 --> 00:14:42,125
Was there something more?
196
00:14:42,125 --> 00:14:44,375
I believe he's injured, my lord.
197
00:14:45,708 --> 00:14:46,916
Let him be.
198
00:14:48,583 --> 00:14:49,583
He'll leave soon enough.
199
00:14:50,541 --> 00:14:53,541
Messengers from Lindon
should arrive with news any day.
200
00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:58,166
[flies buzzing]
201
00:14:58,166 --> 00:14:59,750
[dramatic music playing]
202
00:15:04,041 --> 00:15:05,458
[chains clinking, rattling]
203
00:15:35,541 --> 00:15:38,166
[dramatic music swells]
204
00:16:06,833 --> 00:16:07,875
[horse snorts]
205
00:16:28,916 --> 00:16:29,875
[wings fluttering]
206
00:16:36,250 --> 00:16:38,291
[chittering]
207
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
[ominous music playing]
208
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,416
[disembodied voices
whispering indistinctly]
209
00:18:23,250 --> 00:18:25,708
What tidings from the white wings?
210
00:18:26,291 --> 00:18:28,291
Sauron's shadow is deepening.
211
00:18:29,041 --> 00:18:33,541
It is said he has taken a new form
to deceive his enemies.
212
00:18:33,541 --> 00:18:34,583
And the Istar?
213
00:18:35,583 --> 00:18:41,375
I hear whispers from salt scavengers
and mûmakil thieves.
214
00:18:42,375 --> 00:18:48,375
Whispers of an old man in rags,
traveling east with two halflings.
215
00:18:48,375 --> 00:18:50,375
He is lost. Vulnerable.
216
00:18:50,375 --> 00:18:52,666
[Dark Wizard] But he will not be for long.
217
00:18:52,666 --> 00:18:55,916
We must reach him before he learns
to harness his powers.
218
00:18:56,833 --> 00:19:00,666
Perhaps, the blood I wasted
to bring you before me
219
00:19:00,666 --> 00:19:05,416
should have been spent
on more useful servants.
220
00:19:06,291 --> 00:19:08,500
[stone door slides open]
221
00:19:11,375 --> 00:19:12,916
[female messenger acolyte] Master.
222
00:19:12,916 --> 00:19:15,750
One of the trackers
you sent out has returned.
223
00:19:19,208 --> 00:19:20,541
[Dark Wizard] Have you found him?
224
00:19:20,541 --> 00:19:23,833
[Bränk] I didn't just find him.
I know how to capture him.
225
00:19:23,833 --> 00:19:29,541
Heal the curse upon our flesh,
and I will bring you the Istar in chains.
226
00:19:30,125 --> 00:19:35,166
What makes you think a mortal
like yourself
227
00:19:35,166 --> 00:19:37,458
could defeat an Istar
228
00:19:37,458 --> 00:19:41,833
when my most powerful acolytes could not?
229
00:19:42,583 --> 00:19:47,666
[Bränk] The Istar will surrender to me,
because if he doesn't,
230
00:19:47,666 --> 00:19:51,666
I will slaughter
the halflings he calls friends.
231
00:19:55,291 --> 00:19:58,041
What about Doderick?
232
00:20:00,458 --> 00:20:01,750
Doderick?
233
00:20:01,750 --> 00:20:04,875
[Nori] All right, all right. Andwise?
234
00:20:04,875 --> 00:20:08,791
[Stranger] It is a fine name.
Nevertheless, it is not going to be mine.
235
00:20:10,166 --> 00:20:11,208
I know.
236
00:20:12,125 --> 00:20:13,000
Fredagard.
237
00:20:15,750 --> 00:20:16,833
But don't you see?
238
00:20:17,958 --> 00:20:20,166
No one can give you a name.
239
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:22,833
It is yours already.
240
00:20:24,333 --> 00:20:25,875
It is who you are.
241
00:20:27,916 --> 00:20:33,125
And when you hear it spoken,
you feel your heart glow.
242
00:20:34,291 --> 00:20:36,000
You'll hear it one day.
243
00:20:38,333 --> 00:20:39,375
I'm sure of it.
244
00:20:40,875 --> 00:20:42,291
We'll find out who you are.
245
00:20:44,916 --> 00:20:46,000
[Poppy] I knew it!
246
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,625
Says here if we turn northeast,
247
00:20:47,625 --> 00:20:50,125
we can cut this leg
of the journey in half.
248
00:20:51,083 --> 00:20:52,708
Over there. Come on!
249
00:20:52,708 --> 00:20:54,916
[captivating music playing]
250
00:21:08,791 --> 00:21:10,708
[Stranger] My preference
would be to avoid the path
251
00:21:10,708 --> 00:21:12,833
on which we would
run out of water the first day
252
00:21:12,833 --> 00:21:15,125
and die of heat the second.
253
00:21:16,583 --> 00:21:18,666
But perhaps that is just me?
254
00:21:23,041 --> 00:21:24,708
How about Doderick?
255
00:21:26,166 --> 00:21:27,791
You already said Doderick.
256
00:21:30,208 --> 00:21:31,375
No, I didn't.
257
00:21:31,375 --> 00:21:33,166
- [Stranger] Yes, you did.
- [Poppy] Yes, you did.
258
00:21:36,708 --> 00:21:39,375
Ah, how fares the forager this time?
259
00:21:40,291 --> 00:21:43,208
All I found was a scorpion
and a clump of cactus.
260
00:21:43,833 --> 00:21:47,208
The scorpion stung me,
I fell over, and, well... [clears throat]
261
00:21:47,208 --> 00:21:50,000
- That's how I found the cactus.
- That's how you found the cactus.
262
00:21:51,375 --> 00:21:56,000
Couldn't you just, I don't know,
magic some more water into being?
263
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:02,041
He's afraid he'd lose control again
without a gand.
264
00:22:02,583 --> 00:22:05,000
So we find a gand.
S'plenty of sticks all over the place.
265
00:22:05,541 --> 00:22:07,041
Don't think it works that way, Pop.
266
00:22:07,541 --> 00:22:08,750
Silence.
267
00:22:09,708 --> 00:22:10,791
[horses approaching]
268
00:22:10,791 --> 00:22:11,875
What is it?
269
00:22:14,083 --> 00:22:16,916
On the wind. Can you hear that?
270
00:22:18,541 --> 00:22:20,333
- Almost sounds like--
- Hooves.
271
00:22:21,458 --> 00:22:23,375
[horse chuffs]
272
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:31,500
[Nori grunts]
273
00:22:35,750 --> 00:22:36,875
[grunts]
274
00:22:39,833 --> 00:22:42,500
[breathing heavily]
275
00:23:01,083 --> 00:23:03,166
[breath trembling]
276
00:23:07,750 --> 00:23:11,416
[snake rattling and hissing]
277
00:23:15,208 --> 00:23:17,250
[hissing]
278
00:23:23,041 --> 00:23:25,541
[Kilta breathing heavily]
279
00:23:32,083 --> 00:23:34,958
[Kilta] They're still close. Mount up!
280
00:23:37,416 --> 00:23:40,750
[Poppy breathing heavily]
281
00:23:45,541 --> 00:23:47,000
[Poppy] Who were they?
282
00:23:48,791 --> 00:23:49,916
[Stranger] I don't know.
283
00:23:51,083 --> 00:23:52,541
They're watching our trail.
284
00:23:53,416 --> 00:23:55,583
Meaning, we'd be wise to find another.
285
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,333
We already have.
286
00:24:08,375 --> 00:24:09,583
Nobody goes off-trail.
287
00:24:10,541 --> 00:24:13,041
- Nobody walks alone.
- Nobody walks alone.
288
00:24:33,250 --> 00:24:35,833
[female stone singer 1] Every garden
has withered since the earthquake.
289
00:24:35,833 --> 00:24:37,666
[female stone singer 2]
It's not just the gardens.
290
00:24:37,666 --> 00:24:42,041
Rumors abound of dark omens
across all the Dwarven realms.
291
00:24:43,166 --> 00:24:47,125
Some say the mountain was cursed
when the prince let in that Elf.
292
00:24:47,125 --> 00:24:49,875
You two wouldn't be trafficking
in conjecture, would you?
293
00:24:49,875 --> 00:24:51,416
- No.
- Wouldn't dream of it.
294
00:24:51,416 --> 00:24:54,083
Good. 'Cause a rumor's like a songbird.
295
00:24:54,083 --> 00:24:58,250
May sound filling from afar,
but up close, it's an empty feast.
296
00:24:58,958 --> 00:25:00,291
Then it isn't true?
297
00:25:00,958 --> 00:25:03,083
That something terrible is happening?
298
00:25:04,500 --> 00:25:07,041
We're about to prove it isn't.
299
00:25:18,833 --> 00:25:20,458
- [Disa] King Durin.
- [both] King Durin.
300
00:25:20,458 --> 00:25:21,833
Disa.
301
00:25:23,375 --> 00:25:24,916
Narvi, your report?
302
00:25:25,791 --> 00:25:27,333
[grunts] Sire.
303
00:25:28,875 --> 00:25:31,958
Not long ago, a fire-mountain awoke.
304
00:25:32,625 --> 00:25:36,833
And although it resides far to our south,
305
00:25:36,833 --> 00:25:39,625
the ground-shakes it produced
306
00:25:39,625 --> 00:25:44,208
spread through the bones of the earth
all the way here,
307
00:25:44,208 --> 00:25:46,208
collapsing our sun-shafts,
308
00:25:47,125 --> 00:25:50,666
and with them, our ability to grow crops.
309
00:25:51,291 --> 00:25:52,125
[grunts]
310
00:25:54,208 --> 00:25:56,958
Now, the obvious remedy
311
00:25:56,958 --> 00:25:59,708
is to set the dig-teams
to work repairing the shafts
312
00:25:59,708 --> 00:26:02,250
and sinking new ones. However--
313
00:26:02,250 --> 00:26:07,208
Every Stone-singer you've brought here
has failed to identify a safe path to dig.
314
00:26:07,208 --> 00:26:09,041
I'm afraid that's true.
315
00:26:11,791 --> 00:26:15,291
With your approval, sire,
we will find the light.
316
00:26:15,291 --> 00:26:16,625
You have it.
317
00:26:27,041 --> 00:26:28,541
[all singing in Khuzdul]
318
00:26:47,875 --> 00:26:50,041
[rumbling]
319
00:26:56,083 --> 00:26:58,041
[thudding]
320
00:27:17,125 --> 00:27:18,791
[singing subsides]
321
00:27:21,791 --> 00:27:23,291
[grunts]
322
00:27:23,291 --> 00:27:25,166
[King Durin] For nine centuries,
323
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:32,375
the Stone-singers have fostered
our sacred connection to this rock.
324
00:27:34,041 --> 00:27:38,791
And in all those years, not once,
325
00:27:38,791 --> 00:27:44,875
not once have they ever ceased
to provide for us.
326
00:27:48,541 --> 00:27:52,916
But now, whatever the cause,
327
00:27:55,708 --> 00:27:57,500
the bond is broken.
328
00:27:57,500 --> 00:28:01,583
The hand of darkness
has closed around Khazad-dûm.
329
00:28:01,583 --> 00:28:03,541
Dig carefully, Delve-master.
330
00:28:08,458 --> 00:28:09,375
[sighs wearily]
331
00:28:18,875 --> 00:28:20,208
Disa.
332
00:28:22,125 --> 00:28:23,291
A moment?
333
00:28:32,875 --> 00:28:34,791
Are you really going to make me ask?
334
00:28:36,208 --> 00:28:39,041
Do you mean your grandchildren?
They're well.
335
00:28:39,041 --> 00:28:41,125
They miss tugging your beard,
of course, but--
336
00:28:41,125 --> 00:28:44,416
You needn't make this harder
than it already is.
337
00:28:45,458 --> 00:28:48,125
Funny. I keep saying
the same thing to him.
338
00:28:49,958 --> 00:28:53,000
Surely Durin knows I spoke in anger!
339
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,166
If that's an apology I hear, King,
try saying it to my husband.
340
00:28:56,166 --> 00:28:58,458
Why should it be me who apologizes?
341
00:28:59,666 --> 00:29:01,500
It was he who caused offense!
342
00:29:02,958 --> 00:29:04,125
I tell you, he's--
343
00:29:04,125 --> 00:29:07,125
Stubborn as a root-bound parsnip?
344
00:29:08,458 --> 00:29:11,041
One more quality the two of you
have in common.
345
00:29:12,250 --> 00:29:14,541
What you call "stubbornness,"
346
00:29:15,625 --> 00:29:18,291
some Dwarves call "strength."
347
00:29:19,375 --> 00:29:24,875
Oh, I imagine it does take strength
to carry a grudge so heavy.
348
00:29:26,375 --> 00:29:30,833
To keep your wounded heart
so tightly bound, it can barely beat.
349
00:29:33,041 --> 00:29:34,291
Aye, it does.
350
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,416
It truly does.
351
00:29:45,166 --> 00:29:47,875
No wonder we can't hear the mountain.
352
00:29:47,875 --> 00:29:50,875
Its King is deaf to the sorrow
of his own son.
353
00:29:50,875 --> 00:29:52,375
Still your axe, Disa!
354
00:29:52,375 --> 00:29:55,291
[Disa] You want to show true strength?
355
00:29:56,166 --> 00:29:58,041
Summon your son to you.
356
00:30:00,208 --> 00:30:01,541
He'll answer.
357
00:30:03,166 --> 00:30:07,458
But leave it to him
and the peaks of Zirakzigil will thaw
358
00:30:07,458 --> 00:30:09,375
before this feud of yours will.
359
00:30:13,708 --> 00:30:16,000
- [pickaxes clinking]
- [miners grunting]
360
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,416
[miner 1] No sunlight yet.
361
00:30:18,166 --> 00:30:19,250
[clanks]
362
00:30:19,250 --> 00:30:20,625
[miner 2] Another dead end.
363
00:30:21,458 --> 00:30:22,958
We're gonna have to work all night.
364
00:30:22,958 --> 00:30:26,041
- [Prince Durin IV, breathing heavily]
- Oh, here we go.
365
00:30:26,041 --> 00:30:27,333
[scoffing]
366
00:30:27,333 --> 00:30:31,583
Growing blisters, I see.
No shame in it. Even I've had 'em.
367
00:30:32,375 --> 00:30:35,416
- Oh, y'have?
- [Barduk] Aye. When I was five!
368
00:30:35,416 --> 00:30:36,916
[both laugh]
369
00:30:36,916 --> 00:30:38,541
Aye, palace hands.
370
00:30:38,541 --> 00:30:40,708
Been polishing jewels all his life.
371
00:30:40,708 --> 00:30:42,416
[miners chuckling]
372
00:30:42,416 --> 00:30:45,291
Don't fret, Prince, only 13 hours to go.
373
00:30:45,291 --> 00:30:48,541
Aye. It's his fault we're in this mess.
374
00:30:48,541 --> 00:30:49,750
And his father.
375
00:30:50,833 --> 00:30:51,833
Eh?
376
00:30:54,208 --> 00:30:57,958
Lay a finger on me again,
I'll bite it off at the knuckle.
377
00:30:57,958 --> 00:30:59,666
[miners chuckling]
378
00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:06,583
[Barduk grunts]
379
00:31:07,250 --> 00:31:08,500
- [grunts]
- [miners laughing]
380
00:31:08,500 --> 00:31:09,416
[sighs]
381
00:31:09,416 --> 00:31:10,958
[melancholic music playing]
382
00:31:20,916 --> 00:31:22,083
How was the mine?
383
00:31:26,458 --> 00:31:27,458
'Bout the same.
384
00:31:30,625 --> 00:31:32,041
Where are the weans?
385
00:31:32,041 --> 00:31:34,333
Said they weren't hungry. Again.
386
00:31:34,791 --> 00:31:36,041
Well, I can't blame 'em.
387
00:31:36,833 --> 00:31:39,125
This rye tastes like last year's bread.
388
00:31:39,125 --> 00:31:40,791
It is last year's bread.
389
00:31:42,416 --> 00:31:45,083
Why not trade for fresh grain
from the surface?
390
00:31:45,791 --> 00:31:47,416
Splendid idea!
391
00:31:47,416 --> 00:31:51,125
But who in the Dimrill Dale will we find
to convince your father of it?
392
00:31:51,125 --> 00:31:53,708
- Don't start.
- Um... Let me think...
393
00:31:53,708 --> 00:31:54,916
I said don't.
394
00:31:54,916 --> 00:31:57,583
Ah, climb off your high peak
and apologize!
395
00:31:57,583 --> 00:32:00,541
- You're giving me indigestion.
- Good! Now listen to your guts!
396
00:32:00,541 --> 00:32:01,875
I am!
397
00:32:02,583 --> 00:32:05,125
And they still say I was right.
398
00:32:05,125 --> 00:32:08,541
If he hadn't have
thrown Elrond out to rot,
399
00:32:08,541 --> 00:32:10,708
we'd have food enough for 500 years!
400
00:32:10,708 --> 00:32:12,875
You think this is about food?
401
00:32:15,958 --> 00:32:18,791
We can't hear the mountains anymore.
402
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,750
I'm afraid, Durin.
403
00:32:29,541 --> 00:32:30,833
I'm afraid.
404
00:32:31,750 --> 00:32:34,916
Disa... Come here.
405
00:32:36,875 --> 00:32:39,166
[Disa sighs heavily]
406
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,416
We're Dwarves.
407
00:32:44,541 --> 00:32:45,958
We'll find a way.
408
00:32:48,458 --> 00:32:50,083
We always have.
409
00:32:51,375 --> 00:32:52,541
How?
410
00:33:03,458 --> 00:33:05,125
[indistinct chatter]
411
00:33:17,166 --> 00:33:21,333
[Galadriel] Our letters to Celebrimbor
have all gone unanswered.
412
00:33:21,333 --> 00:33:23,458
I fear Sauron may be in Eregion.
413
00:33:24,750 --> 00:33:27,750
The High King has consented
to send me and a small party there,
414
00:33:28,583 --> 00:33:30,791
to ensure Celebrimbor
and his city are safe.
415
00:33:32,916 --> 00:33:34,708
I'm asking you to join us.
416
00:33:35,583 --> 00:33:36,458
[scoffs]
417
00:33:37,708 --> 00:33:40,250
As you are so fond
of reminding me, Galadriel,
418
00:33:42,125 --> 00:33:43,416
I am but a politician.
419
00:33:43,416 --> 00:33:45,750
And as such,
you have the High King's trust.
420
00:33:47,375 --> 00:33:48,833
He believes in your steadfastness.
421
00:33:48,833 --> 00:33:52,416
A dog is steadfast.
And quicker to follow on a leash.
422
00:33:59,416 --> 00:34:01,250
He refuses to send me without you.
423
00:34:03,833 --> 00:34:05,000
[Elrond] And why is that?
424
00:34:05,750 --> 00:34:08,166
- You know the reason.
- I'm asking if you know it.
425
00:34:10,166 --> 00:34:15,083
The High King believes,
that if I were to face the Enemy alone,
426
00:34:16,291 --> 00:34:18,041
I may be vulnerable to deception.
427
00:34:18,583 --> 00:34:20,000
And why would he think that?
428
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,041
Stop it, Elrond.
429
00:34:23,375 --> 00:34:25,291
[Elrond] You've defied
the High King's orders before.
430
00:34:25,291 --> 00:34:26,875
Why not do so now?
431
00:34:28,458 --> 00:34:29,791
Because he is right.
432
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,375
Sauron used me.
433
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:37,041
And under his hand, I was played like
a harp to a melody not of my choosing.
434
00:34:38,916 --> 00:34:40,916
It was entirely of your choosing.
435
00:34:43,083 --> 00:34:44,875
Sauron looked inside you,
436
00:34:44,875 --> 00:34:48,000
plucked the very song of your soul,
note by note,
437
00:34:49,208 --> 00:34:51,375
making himself out to be
exactly what you needed.
438
00:34:51,375 --> 00:34:53,458
"The Lost King"
who could ride you to victory.
439
00:34:53,458 --> 00:34:56,250
You gave him everything he wanted
and then thanked him for it.
440
00:34:56,250 --> 00:34:58,250
And now he has done the same to Gil-galad.
441
00:34:58,250 --> 00:34:59,791
And to every Elf in Lindon.
442
00:35:00,958 --> 00:35:04,291
And that is why we need you.
Help us navigate this labyrinth.
443
00:35:04,291 --> 00:35:06,041
[Elrond] There is no navigating it.
444
00:35:06,041 --> 00:35:08,041
The labyrinth is his.
445
00:35:09,416 --> 00:35:11,958
As long as you stay in it,
you've already lost.
446
00:35:13,333 --> 00:35:16,625
- He may well want you in Eregion--
- Please, Elrond.
447
00:35:18,833 --> 00:35:20,791
I cannot let him in again.
448
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:23,875
I cannot.
449
00:35:46,041 --> 00:35:48,500
He never left, Galadriel.
450
00:35:50,416 --> 00:35:52,750
In choosing to wear those Rings,
451
00:35:53,750 --> 00:35:56,583
you have all chosen
to become his collaborators.
452
00:35:58,291 --> 00:36:00,083
I will have no part in it.
453
00:36:01,708 --> 00:36:03,208
You promised me once,
454
00:36:04,875 --> 00:36:08,458
"If but a whisper of a rumor"
of what I feared proved true,
455
00:36:09,666 --> 00:36:11,833
you would not rest until it was put right.
456
00:36:14,583 --> 00:36:16,833
If our friendship
ever meant anything to you,
457
00:36:19,708 --> 00:36:20,708
please leave.
458
00:36:49,166 --> 00:36:50,875
[Círdan] Do you not wish
to live in beauty?
459
00:36:51,958 --> 00:36:54,791
[Elrond] Master Círdan,
I cannot trust these Rings.
460
00:36:54,791 --> 00:36:57,583
What is beauty, when it is born,
in part, of evil?
461
00:36:58,125 --> 00:36:59,541
No less beautiful.
462
00:37:01,416 --> 00:37:02,583
Not to me.
463
00:37:02,583 --> 00:37:05,416
Would you cast Rúmil's verses
into the flame,
464
00:37:05,416 --> 00:37:07,166
because the poet was a drunkard?
465
00:37:13,250 --> 00:37:14,625
Rúmil was a drunkard?
466
00:37:15,541 --> 00:37:16,375
[chuckles softly]
467
00:37:16,916 --> 00:37:19,541
Do not ask of Daeron. [scoffs]
468
00:37:20,500 --> 00:37:21,791
Insufferable.
469
00:37:23,041 --> 00:37:24,791
But a voice,
470
00:37:24,791 --> 00:37:29,750
a voice that could make
the very sun weep tears of fire.
471
00:37:32,875 --> 00:37:34,375
Judge the work,
472
00:37:36,375 --> 00:37:38,875
and leave judgment
concerning those who wrought it
473
00:37:38,875 --> 00:37:41,833
to the judge who sees all things.
474
00:37:41,833 --> 00:37:43,791
That feels impossible.
475
00:37:45,958 --> 00:37:47,458
It is called humility.
476
00:37:47,458 --> 00:37:49,791
And it is difficult for most.
477
00:37:49,791 --> 00:37:52,250
But it is the truest form of sight.
478
00:38:03,458 --> 00:38:07,125
I wish I could know your peace.
479
00:38:09,541 --> 00:38:10,791
You can.
480
00:38:17,625 --> 00:38:20,958
We do not yet fully understand
these Rings.
481
00:38:20,958 --> 00:38:24,875
But look at the power they exert
over every form of life.
482
00:38:31,250 --> 00:38:35,833
In Sauron's hands,
they could work an evil beyond reckoning,
483
00:38:35,833 --> 00:38:38,750
dominating the minds and wills of all.
484
00:38:39,291 --> 00:38:43,166
This is why they must remain
in the hands of Elves.
485
00:38:45,666 --> 00:38:49,458
You are wise to fear this power, Elrond.
486
00:38:51,875 --> 00:38:56,875
But do not let that fear blind you
to the ways it can be used for good.
487
00:38:59,666 --> 00:39:02,000
For it is not your enemy,
that bears these Rings...
488
00:39:04,125 --> 00:39:08,083
But your most trusted friends.
489
00:39:08,708 --> 00:39:12,708
If you believe they have strayed,
do not abandon them,
490
00:39:12,708 --> 00:39:17,875
but rather open your eyes
and guide them...
491
00:39:18,541 --> 00:39:22,208
Before the darkness
spreads across Middle-earth,
492
00:39:22,208 --> 00:39:24,625
and blinds us all.
493
00:39:26,416 --> 00:39:27,791
[wind whistling]
494
00:39:29,958 --> 00:39:32,000
[all panting]
495
00:39:46,750 --> 00:39:48,666
[grunting]
496
00:39:57,500 --> 00:39:58,916
You need to rest.
497
00:40:00,541 --> 00:40:03,291
[pants] Certainly not, I...
498
00:40:04,375 --> 00:40:05,208
[grunts]
499
00:40:05,916 --> 00:40:07,083
[Nori panting]
500
00:40:09,958 --> 00:40:11,166
Wake up!
501
00:40:11,166 --> 00:40:12,333
[grunts]
502
00:40:14,833 --> 00:40:17,416
What are you doin'? Get back here!
503
00:40:17,416 --> 00:40:19,500
[Poppy] I saw it. I know I saw it. C'mon.
504
00:40:19,500 --> 00:40:21,291
[Nori] Poppy, he's not breathin' anymore!
505
00:40:23,666 --> 00:40:25,833
There! Yes! Nori, I can see it!
506
00:40:26,541 --> 00:40:27,958
[Nori] See what?
507
00:40:27,958 --> 00:40:29,583
Water.
508
00:40:31,458 --> 00:40:35,375
How could someone
who hasn't eaten in so long
509
00:40:35,375 --> 00:40:37,750
still weigh so much?
510
00:40:37,750 --> 00:40:39,375
[both grunting]
511
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,458
Quick sticks!
512
00:40:43,166 --> 00:40:44,291
[grunts]
513
00:40:45,041 --> 00:40:46,416
Please, oh, please, oh, please.
514
00:40:47,166 --> 00:40:48,291
Hurry, Poppy!
515
00:40:53,708 --> 00:40:57,583
[grunting]
516
00:41:04,625 --> 00:41:05,708
Come on!
517
00:41:06,458 --> 00:41:07,791
[water splashing]
518
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,000
[grunts]
519
00:41:15,541 --> 00:41:16,583
I got it.
520
00:41:16,583 --> 00:41:18,458
[bell dinging]
521
00:41:26,291 --> 00:41:27,541
[Nori] Come on.
522
00:41:27,541 --> 00:41:29,750
[pealing rapidly]
523
00:41:31,166 --> 00:41:32,333
Come on.
524
00:41:33,916 --> 00:41:35,416
You're going to be all right.
525
00:41:35,416 --> 00:41:37,250
[bell continues dinging]
526
00:41:37,250 --> 00:41:39,125
[coughing]
527
00:41:39,750 --> 00:41:42,083
[Nori sighs] Great goats, you're alive.
528
00:41:42,083 --> 00:41:44,916
For a moment there,
I thought we'd lost... we'd lost you.
529
00:41:47,416 --> 00:41:49,041
[water splashing]
530
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,583
We're none of us,
going to lose each other.
531
00:41:53,583 --> 00:41:55,666
[Nori and Poppy panting]
532
00:41:57,875 --> 00:42:00,208
I'd be crying 'cept my eyes are too dry.
533
00:42:01,250 --> 00:42:02,083
[gasps]
534
00:42:02,083 --> 00:42:03,625
[all chuckling]
535
00:42:08,958 --> 00:42:09,875
Oh...
536
00:42:09,875 --> 00:42:11,833
[panting]
537
00:42:29,833 --> 00:42:30,875
What is it?
538
00:42:32,625 --> 00:42:34,000
You don't think...
539
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:39,041
It is not dissimilar
from the staff I saw in my dream.
540
00:42:39,041 --> 00:42:41,166
Um, Nori...
541
00:42:41,166 --> 00:42:42,750
[horse whinnies]
542
00:42:42,750 --> 00:42:45,083
[sinister music playing]
543
00:42:51,041 --> 00:42:52,500
[horse whinnies]
544
00:42:54,125 --> 00:42:55,583
[Gaudrim breathing heavily]
545
00:43:05,291 --> 00:43:07,708
Oh, we were just having a drink of water.
546
00:43:10,583 --> 00:43:11,791
[Kilta, in Rhûnnic] Pängul niganvil!
547
00:43:11,791 --> 00:43:13,291
[Kilta grunts]
548
00:43:13,791 --> 00:43:15,333
- [arrows whistling]
- [all exclaiming]
549
00:43:15,333 --> 00:43:16,833
[Gaudrim grunts]
550
00:43:17,458 --> 00:43:19,583
[both breathing heavily]
551
00:43:20,458 --> 00:43:21,583
[Gaudrim grunts]
552
00:43:23,583 --> 00:43:24,916
[in English] What are you doin'?
553
00:43:24,916 --> 00:43:25,875
Nori, get down!
554
00:43:28,833 --> 00:43:30,000
[speaking Quenya]
555
00:43:32,958 --> 00:43:34,375
[rumbling]
556
00:43:34,375 --> 00:43:35,333
[Kilta and Gaudrim grunt]
557
00:43:35,958 --> 00:43:37,500
[Kilta exclaims in Rhûnnic]

[horses whinny]
560
00:43:46,583 --> 00:43:48,291
[speaking Quenya]
561
00:43:56,041 --> 00:43:58,416
[Kilta and Gaudrim scream]
562
00:44:05,041 --> 00:44:07,166
- [Stranger yells]
- [Nori and Poppy coughing and yelping]
563
00:44:09,916 --> 00:44:11,250
[Stranger grunting]
564
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,458
[bell clanging]
565
00:44:18,541 --> 00:44:20,500
[Poppy in English]
Stop! Stop! Make it stop!
566
00:44:23,791 --> 00:44:25,625
[Nori yelping]
567
00:44:26,458 --> 00:44:28,291
Why isn't he stopping it?
568
00:44:28,916 --> 00:44:30,291
He can't!
569
00:44:36,666 --> 00:44:39,166
[Nori and Poppy scream]
570
00:44:39,166 --> 00:44:40,416
[Nori] Help us!
571
00:44:42,083 --> 00:44:43,500
[Stranger] Nori!
572
00:44:45,958 --> 00:44:47,708
I'm coming!
573
00:44:48,250 --> 00:44:49,291
[grunts]
574
00:44:51,666 --> 00:44:53,041
[Nori and Poppy screaming]
575
00:44:53,041 --> 00:44:57,458
Hold on! Hold on!
576
00:44:59,291 --> 00:45:01,250
[Nori and Poppy screaming]
577
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:06,208
[Stranger yells] Nori!
578
00:45:07,166 --> 00:45:08,750
Nori!
579
00:45:20,666 --> 00:45:22,083
It's gone.
580
00:45:24,833 --> 00:45:26,083
Has it?
581
00:45:39,875 --> 00:45:41,750
I have called it ithildin.
582
00:45:41,750 --> 00:45:44,375
Made from our last sliver of mithril.
583
00:45:44,375 --> 00:45:48,208
Out of the moonlight,
it is all but invisible.
584
00:45:49,125 --> 00:45:50,125
It is.
585
00:45:51,916 --> 00:45:53,125
Quite invisible.
586
00:45:59,750 --> 00:46:02,375
Our visitor, is he still...
587
00:46:03,791 --> 00:46:05,958
The night is cold, my lord.
588
00:46:06,833 --> 00:46:09,000
Shall I bring him a shawl?
589
00:46:11,458 --> 00:46:13,250
[ominous music playing]
590
00:46:27,166 --> 00:46:28,708
[rain pattering]
591
00:46:44,208 --> 00:46:47,208
[thunder rumbles]
592
00:47:07,791 --> 00:47:10,875
Whatever the reason
for your presence here,
593
00:47:12,875 --> 00:47:16,250
if you do not leave willingly,
you shall be removed by force.
594
00:47:18,208 --> 00:47:19,833
I can treat with you no longer.
595
00:47:23,333 --> 00:47:24,750
She said you'd say that.
596
00:47:29,375 --> 00:47:32,583
Galadriel? You have spoken with her?
597
00:47:34,083 --> 00:47:35,125
Well, haven't you?
598
00:47:35,666 --> 00:47:36,583
I have not.
599
00:47:37,750 --> 00:47:39,500
Not since she left for Lindon.
600
00:47:40,416 --> 00:47:42,500
Then you know nothing of what's happened?
601
00:47:43,875 --> 00:47:45,166
Nothing of the Rings?
602
00:47:48,375 --> 00:47:49,750
What of the Rings?
603
00:47:51,833 --> 00:47:52,833
Have they worked?
604
00:47:55,208 --> 00:47:56,750
You'd do better to ask her.
605
00:47:57,250 --> 00:47:58,416
[Celebrimbor] She's not here.
606
00:47:59,541 --> 00:48:00,416
You are.
607
00:48:00,416 --> 00:48:02,041
What about the High King?
608
00:48:02,041 --> 00:48:04,916
Surely he wouldn't neglect
to send word of--
609
00:48:06,958 --> 00:48:08,250
Oh, I see.
610
00:48:10,166 --> 00:48:13,375
It's the oldest tale there is, isn't it?
611
00:48:16,375 --> 00:48:19,666
The true creators toil
till their knuckles bleed
612
00:48:20,833 --> 00:48:24,750
and then they come along,
take whatever profits them most,
613
00:48:25,708 --> 00:48:27,458
and forget all about us.
614
00:48:30,666 --> 00:48:32,416
I applaud your patience.
615
00:48:34,541 --> 00:48:36,083
Where are you going?
616
00:48:36,083 --> 00:48:38,500
There's no cause
to stay where I'm not wanted.
617
00:48:40,791 --> 00:48:41,791
Wait.
618
00:48:55,458 --> 00:48:57,583
Halbrand. Please. Tell me.
619
00:48:58,916 --> 00:49:02,833
The Rings. Did they work?
620
00:49:11,708 --> 00:49:13,291
They worked wonders.
621
00:49:17,041 --> 00:49:18,625
Then, the Elves--
622
00:49:18,625 --> 00:49:19,708
[Halbrand] Yes.
623
00:49:24,708 --> 00:49:26,916
And, uh, Lindon?
624
00:49:26,916 --> 00:49:28,000
Yes.
625
00:49:30,041 --> 00:49:30,958
[sniffles]
626
00:49:32,958 --> 00:49:33,875
[whimpers]
627
00:49:35,041 --> 00:49:36,958
- Are you weeping?
- No.
628
00:49:38,875 --> 00:49:40,333
[laughs]
629
00:49:42,583 --> 00:49:44,208
I am reveling.
630
00:49:46,125 --> 00:49:49,083
You have not the slightest inkling...
631
00:49:51,791 --> 00:49:53,291
how this feels.
632
00:49:53,291 --> 00:49:55,708
After all this time,
after so many centuries,
633
00:49:55,708 --> 00:49:58,375
to finally create something.
634
00:50:01,166 --> 00:50:02,875
I'm going to open a First Age bottle.
635
00:50:05,166 --> 00:50:08,291
I have been saving it.
636
00:50:13,875 --> 00:50:15,125
Celebrimbor...
637
00:50:21,625 --> 00:50:22,958
Are you my friend?
638
00:50:24,916 --> 00:50:26,250
Yes, of course.
639
00:50:27,791 --> 00:50:28,833
Why?
640
00:50:28,833 --> 00:50:30,791
Because there is no place for half-truths
641
00:50:30,791 --> 00:50:33,791
between those who've worked
so close as you and I.
642
00:50:34,791 --> 00:50:35,625
Oh...
643
00:50:37,208 --> 00:50:40,958
And yet there is much you do not know.
644
00:50:42,500 --> 00:50:43,666
Much I want to tell you.
645
00:50:45,458 --> 00:50:46,458
Only...
646
00:50:49,291 --> 00:50:50,750
You're afraid.
647
00:50:52,458 --> 00:50:55,333
You see? I've never been able
to hide anything from you.
648
00:50:56,958 --> 00:50:58,125
Well...
649
00:51:02,750 --> 00:51:04,083
Be at ease.
650
00:51:07,333 --> 00:51:10,583
Whatever it is you wish to say to me,
I shall receive it with an open heart.
651
00:51:13,166 --> 00:51:15,375
I did not come here
to toast the Elven Rings.
652
00:51:17,291 --> 00:51:21,041
But to plead with you
to make Rings for Men.
653
00:51:22,500 --> 00:51:23,833
Rings for Men?
654
00:51:24,791 --> 00:51:26,833
- [Halbrand] You saved the Elves.
- Uh...
655
00:51:28,166 --> 00:51:29,291
Elves are not Men.
656
00:51:30,916 --> 00:51:31,875
Men are covetous.
657
00:51:34,208 --> 00:51:36,958
The risks of,
of corruption are far greater.
658
00:51:37,625 --> 00:51:39,291
Even if I did wish to forge more Rings,
659
00:51:39,291 --> 00:51:41,208
the Dwarves would never
provide the mithril.
660
00:51:41,208 --> 00:51:43,916
I think you'll find the Dwarves
facing a dilemma all their own.
661
00:51:43,916 --> 00:51:46,125
What dilemma?
What are you talking about, Halbrand?
662
00:51:48,625 --> 00:51:50,625
My name is not Halbrand.
663
00:51:52,375 --> 00:51:53,291
What?
664
00:51:53,291 --> 00:51:56,000
When Galadriel discovered the truth,
she cast me out.
665
00:51:57,250 --> 00:51:59,416
And I dare not risk the same
happening with you.
666
00:51:59,416 --> 00:52:03,166
[thunder rumbling]
667
00:52:03,166 --> 00:52:06,166
I... I take it then you are not a King.
668
00:52:06,958 --> 00:52:09,500
No. Not a King.
669
00:52:10,708 --> 00:52:12,500
Not a Southlander.
670
00:52:13,166 --> 00:52:16,041
Not even a... mortal.
671
00:52:17,833 --> 00:52:18,708
[scoffs]
672
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,000
What are you?
673
00:52:22,458 --> 00:52:28,083
There are forces in this world
beyond evil, Celebrimbor.
674
00:52:28,708 --> 00:52:32,375
And sometimes, they send aid,
675
00:52:33,500 --> 00:52:34,791
in the form of an envoy.
676
00:52:34,791 --> 00:52:40,541
A... A messenger, sent to bring guidance
to the ears of the wise.
677
00:52:42,041 --> 00:52:42,875
Uh...
678
00:52:44,500 --> 00:52:46,708
What sort of guidance?
679
00:52:48,083 --> 00:52:50,333
Mordor's rise was but the beginning.
680
00:52:50,333 --> 00:52:53,750
At this very moment, all Middle-earth
balances on the brink of the abyss.
681
00:52:54,458 --> 00:52:56,791
Soon, every realm will fall.
682
00:52:58,208 --> 00:53:02,500
Not just Elves, but Dwarves. And Men.
683
00:53:04,541 --> 00:53:06,291
The darkness is growing stronger.
684
00:53:07,333 --> 00:53:10,583
And the Rings of Power are our last hope
of restoring the light.
685
00:53:13,791 --> 00:53:15,250
You and I have work to do.
686
00:53:20,583 --> 00:53:21,541
[chuckles softly]
687
00:53:21,541 --> 00:53:24,375
You cannot expect me to believe
688
00:53:24,375 --> 00:53:28,000
that you are a, a messenger
from the Valar sent to--
689
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,375
[thunder rumbling]
690
00:53:38,708 --> 00:53:39,916
Halbrand?
691
00:53:42,250 --> 00:53:43,250
Halbrand!
692
00:53:51,500 --> 00:53:52,375
[shudders]
693
00:53:53,708 --> 00:53:55,958
[sinister music playing]
694
00:54:01,750 --> 00:54:02,916
Halbrand!
695
00:54:14,916 --> 00:54:16,708
[breath trembling]
696
00:54:31,208 --> 00:54:34,583
[Halbrand] I have walked through the dust
and the deserts of far-away lands,
697
00:54:37,250 --> 00:54:43,041
in search of an artist possessing
the craft to save all Middle-earth.
698
00:54:45,541 --> 00:54:47,958
A storm is coming, Celebrimbor.
699
00:54:50,250 --> 00:54:53,375
I can bring you the knowledge
none other possesses.
700
00:54:53,958 --> 00:54:57,166
I can unlock your grandest abilities.
701
00:54:57,958 --> 00:55:00,125
And when our work is complete,
702
00:55:00,125 --> 00:55:05,458
never again will the world overlook you
as the mere scion of Fëanor
703
00:55:06,041 --> 00:55:08,333
but forevermore revere you...
704
00:55:14,291 --> 00:55:16,708
The Lord of the Rings.
705
00:55:41,958 --> 00:55:43,666
You need not bow to me.
706
00:55:44,416 --> 00:55:46,500
But I have beheld your natural form.
707
00:55:49,833 --> 00:55:51,000
Rise.
708
00:55:53,708 --> 00:55:55,416
Our work begins now.
709
00:55:56,666 --> 00:55:58,500
What am I to call you?
710
00:55:58,500 --> 00:55:59,666
[Halbrand] I am your partner.
711
00:56:02,125 --> 00:56:04,958
No more, no less.
712
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:08,875
A sharer of gifts.
713
00:56:11,375 --> 00:56:12,916
Annatar.
714
00:56:14,708 --> 00:56:16,166
Annatar.
715
00:56:19,958 --> 00:56:21,666
Lord of Gifts.
716
00:56:38,500 --> 00:56:39,583
You summoned me.
717
00:56:40,416 --> 00:56:42,125
You have new orders, Commander.
718
00:56:42,916 --> 00:56:47,541
You depart for Eregion at first light,
with five of our bravest Elves.
719
00:56:48,708 --> 00:56:49,708
I...
720
00:56:51,708 --> 00:56:54,541
Thank you for reconsidering.
721
00:56:54,541 --> 00:56:56,708
It is not I, you ought to thank.
722
00:56:59,833 --> 00:57:00,916
[Galadriel] Elrond.
723
00:57:05,250 --> 00:57:08,458
I am very grateful you have decided
to join my company.
724
00:57:11,208 --> 00:57:13,708
I'm afraid you misunderstand, Galadriel.
725
00:57:14,875 --> 00:57:17,791
Elrond's task is not to join your company.
726
00:57:18,541 --> 00:57:20,208
But to lead it.
727
00:57:27,625 --> 00:57:29,958
[dramatic music playing]
728
00:57:48,416 --> 00:57:49,625
[knock at door]
729
00:57:58,458 --> 00:58:00,958
What is it? Is it Elrond?
730
00:58:01,916 --> 00:58:04,708
It's some sort of invitation...
731
00:58:06,250 --> 00:58:08,916
from Lord Celebrimbor.
732
00:58:08,916 --> 00:58:12,041
He wants the Dwarves to come to Eregion.
733
00:58:15,375 --> 00:58:18,041
