...to be foundby another, so that it
might at last get back to its master.
:02:07
And there the Ring lay,
at the bottom of the Great RiverAnduin...
:02:11
...for thousands ofyears.
:02:16
During those years...
:02:18
...the Dark Lord captured the nine Rings
that were made for Men...
:02:22
...and turned their owners
into the Ringwraiths.;
:02:26
Terrible shadows under his great shadow...
:02:31
...who roamed the world,
searching for the One Ring.
:02:37
ln time, the Ring was found.
:02:40
Two friends were fishing
in the Great River one day.
:02:55
-Give us that, Deagol, my love.
-Why, Smeagol?
:02:58
Because it's my birthday,
my love, and I wants it.
:03:04
I have already given you
more than I could afford.
:03:07
I found this, and I'm going to keep it!
:03:12
Are you indeed, my love?
:03:21
He used the Ring for thieving,
and to find out secrets.
:03:26
His own people began to despise
the wretched creature...
:03:30
...and to call him Gollum.
:03:34
Torturedand driven by the Ring,
he hidin dark caves...
:03:39
...under deep mountains.
:03:44
But the Ring
slipped offGollum 's finger, too.
:03:49
And so it was that Bilbo foundit,
during his travels with the Dwarves.
:03:59
Thief, Baggins. Thief!
