1:43:00
I was burned.
1:43:02
Ever he clutchedme, and ever
lhewedhim, far under the living earth...
1:43:06
...until at last, he fledback
up the secret ways ofMoria.
1:43:11
There we fought,
above the mists of the world...
1:43:14
...and the mountain was wreathed
with lightning.
1:43:17
I threw down my enemy
andhis fall broke the mountainside.
1:43:24
Then darkness took me...
1:43:27
...andl wandered far,
on roads that I will not tell.
1:43:31
Naked, I was sent back for a brief time...
1:43:34
...until my task was done.
1:43:36
And it is time I was about it.
1:43:39
You come with me to Edoras, my friends,
to the city of the Riders?
1:43:44
To Edoras, now?
1:43:48
But to leave Merry and Pippin?
1:43:50
They are in no danger, believe me.
1:43:53
The great danger is to Edoras.
1:43:55
Saruman's Orcs will attack there within
two days, and Theoden has need ofus.
1:44:02
Theoden has grown old.
1:44:04
He shivers by his fire now...
1:44:06
...andleaves everything in the hands
ofhis new minister.;
1:44:10
Grima Wormtongue.
1:44:13
Those Riders you followed,
who rescuedMerry and Pippin...
1:44:16
...they were ledby Theoden's nephew,
Eomer.
1:44:19
He is all but an outlaw
in Rohan these days.
1:44:22
He hunts the Orcs
wherever he finds them...
1:44:25
...defying Wormtongue's orders
to let them pass.
1:44:28
So Wormtongue calls him traitor
andrenegade...
1:44:32
...and Theoden believes--
1:44:33
Gandalf, the Riders ofRohan
are the bravest fighters I've ever knew...
1:44:37
...but they were never many.
1:44:39
If Saruman strikes now,
he'll overrun Edoras in a single night.
1:44:48
Our time is at hand.
1:44:51
Theoden's hundreds will face
your tens of thousands.
1:44:59
When all of Rohan, your ancient oppressor,
lies vanquished...
