:44:01
I am here,
and you are lucky to be here, too...
:44:05
...after all the absurd things you've done
since you left home.
:44:08
Where's Sam?
And are the others all right?
:44:10
They've hardly left your side for three days.
:44:13
Three days?
:44:14
What happened at the ford?
It all seemed so dim, somehow.
:44:19
You were beginning to fade,
my remarkable friend.
:44:22
The knifepoint had almost
worked its way to your heart.
:44:26
Oh, I didn't know. Would I have....
:44:29
You would have become like them.
:44:32
One of the Ringwraiths...
:44:37
...the servants of the Dark Lord...
:44:40
...if you had not resisted to the last.
:44:42
The river, it rose up against them.
:44:45
It is Elrond's river.
:44:46
This is his house
and it was Elrond himself who healed you.
:44:50
If I may say so,
I added a few touches of my own.
:44:55
The white horses and so on.
If you noticed.
:44:58
Then that is the end of the Black Riders?
:45:01
Not so long as the Ring itself exists.
:45:05
They will fly back to their master
in Mordor, empty and crippled...
:45:09
...until they find new shapes to wear
and new beasts to ride.
:45:13
We have beaten them,
just for a while, Frodo.
:45:17
That's sort of a relief.
:45:19
I wish that were the truth, Frodo.
:45:21
I'm afraid we have a new
and closer problem at hand.
:45:25
You have not asked me
why I was late getting back to the Shire.
:45:29
I forgot.
:45:31
When I was certain that yours was indeed
the Master Ring...
:45:34
...lrode at once to Isengard,
andl thought...
:45:39
...that ifanyone couldknow
what was best to do with the One Ring...
:45:43
...it would surely be Saruman the White.
:45:50
The great eagle, Gwaihir...
:45:52
...came in answer to my call,
andbore me away.
:45:58
Saruman has neverpaid enough
attention to animals.
