00:13To be continued...
01:15You're the one that said it would be wise to tighten our purse strings.
01:20Or were you not including yourself when you said that?
01:28You married a prince, and now you're bound to an outcast.
01:37I'm bound to the dwarf I love, and I wouldn't trade his heart for a mine full of fire opals.
01:53It would be nice to have the opals, though.
01:56Aye, it would.
01:59Have you tried to talk to your father?
02:01Tisa, you know he will never agree to see me.
02:04That's not why I asked.
02:05Why should I be the one to ask for an audience?
02:08He disowned me.
02:10He's as stubborn as a stone leg, but I better like find a pen to brick.
02:15You may as well...
02:16Tisa.
02:19Brace yourself.
02:22I said brace yourselves!
02:24Tisa!
02:25I said brace yourself!
03:10Oh
03:10No, no, no
03:25No, no, no, no
03:38My dear brother
03:53Lord Kera Brimbor, they did not tell me you had arrived.
04:01What news?
04:02I've had an unexpected visitor.
04:07He has returned already.
04:28Are they not the seeds you plant?
04:32Oh!
04:34Oh!
04:50Oh!
04:51Oh!
04:51Oh!
05:21Oh!
05:30Oh!
05:39Oh!
05:40Oh!
05:40Oh!
05:46Oh!
05:55It does not take the eye of an eagle to see your thoughts have flown far afield.
06:00What troubles them?
06:04Sauron may well have traveled to Mordor,
06:08but we cannot be certain that is where he remains.
06:12What makes you say that?
06:13Well, Sauron sees himself not as master of a barren waste, but of all Middle-earth.
06:25He seeks to rule it not only through conquest, but by bending the minds and wills of all its peoples
06:31to his own.
06:32And for that he needs not armies, but rings.
06:38And he cannot craft them without Kaerle Brimbor.
06:42Sauron is alone.
06:43Without army or ally,
06:47Aragion is protected by two rivers with miles of curtain wall of dwarven stone ten foot thick.
06:56Rest assured, Kaerle Brimbor and the secrets of his craft are safe.
07:21I tell you,
07:23Some veiled evil closes in on Kaerle Brimbor.
07:27Sauron's plan is in motion.
07:29Even now, I know it.
07:37Since the wearing of this ring, I have felt perceived glimpses of the unseen world.
07:48As dreams unbidden coming forth to crowd my waking mind.
07:53You believe the rings have kindled your ability to see that which has not yet come to pass?
08:01Have they kindled yours?
08:06I have seen mountains crumbling, waters running dry, and clouds black gathering over white towers.
08:15Then send me to Aragion.
08:17If Sauron's there, I will say what?
08:19You cannot face Sauron again.
08:22It is said that once the deceiver obtains a being's trust, he gains the ability to sculpt their very thoughts.
08:30To deceive not only their heart and mind, but their eyes and ears.
08:34To alter their very reality.
08:37You have already been affected once.
08:42Yes.
08:45He knows my mind.
08:48And I know his.
08:50Which is why I must face him.
08:53Why I alone can slay him.
08:56You once considered him a friend.
08:58Halbran was not...
08:59Sauron!
09:01You cannot face him alone.
09:05Supposing I was not alone.
09:31Lord Celebrimbor regrets to inform you.
09:34He's unable to grant you entry.
09:36Well, mightn't I speak with him directly.
09:38My lord is occupied.
09:40But he wishes you good fortune on your journey.
09:43Are you asking me to leave?
09:46The lord of Aragion is asking you.
09:51Perhaps I'll just wait here.
09:57Just in case he changes his mind.
10:14Has he gone?
10:15No.
10:15He refuses to leave, my lord.
10:20Well, he can refuse all he cares to.
10:22I promised Lady Galadriel before she left that I would never treat with him again.
10:30Was there something more?
10:31I believe he's injured, my lord.
10:34Let him be.
10:37He'll leave soon enough.
10:39Messengers from Lindon should arrive with news any day.
10:43Where are you?
10:44I'm a friend, my lord.
10:44I've got a friend.
10:50We've seen him, my lord.
10:53Oh, my lord.
10:55I'm mad.
10:55Hooray.
10:56What?
10:56What?
10:58Oh, my lord.
10:59I can see him, he's injured.
11:00He says, he wants to be.
11:00What?
11:00Who are you?
11:00Let him be.
11:01I have to do it.
11:01How are you?
11:01Oh, my lord.
11:01I have to be.
11:01I have to do it.
11:01Oh, my lord.
11:02I have to do it.
11:04Can't do it.
11:07Oh.
11:09Oh, my lord.

14:20Whispers of an old man in rags traveling east with two halflings.
14:26He is lost, vulnerable.
14:28But he will not be for long. We must reach him before he learns to harness his powers.
14:34Perhaps the blood I wasted to bring you before me should have been spent on more useful servants.
14:48Master, one of the trackers you sent out has returned.
14:55Have you found him?
14:57I didn't just find him. I know how to capture him. Heal the curse upon our flesh and I will
15:03bring you the e-star in chains.
15:05What makes you think a mortal like yourself could defeat an e-star when my most powerful acolytes could not?
15:18The e-star will surrender to me. Because if he doesn't, I will slaughter the halflings he calls friends.
15:29What about Daudric?
15:35Daudric.
15:36All right, all right. And what?
15:38It is a fine name. Nevertheless, it is not going to be mine.
15:44I know.
15:46Fredegar.
15:49But don't you see?
15:51No one can give you a name.
15:54It is yours already.
15:57It is who you are.
16:00And when you hear it spoken, you feel your heart glow.
16:07You'll hear it one day.
16:10I'm sure of it.
16:13We'll find out who you are.
16:17I knew it!
16:18It says here we turn northeast we can cut this leg of the journey in half.
16:23Over there! Come on!
16:34Over there! Come on!
16:39My preference would be to avoid the path in which we had run out of water the first day and
16:43die of heat the second.
16:47But perhaps it is just me.
16:53How about Daudric?
16:56You already said Daudric.
16:59No, I didn't.
17:01Yes, you did.
17:06Ah.
17:07How fares the forager this time?
17:09All I found was a scorpion and a clump of cactus.
17:13Scorpion stung me.
17:14I fell over and, well...
17:17That's how you found the cactus.
17:20Couldn't you just...
17:22I don't know, magic smore water into being?
17:27He's afraid he'd lose control again.
17:29Without a gand.
17:30Shall we find a gand?
17:32There's plenty sticks all over the place.
17:33I don't think it works that way, Pop.
17:36Silence.
17:39What is it?
17:41Well, the wind.
17:43Can you hear that?
17:46Almost sounds like hooves.
17:56You got it.
17:57You got it.
17:59Just...
18:10There's plenty first of places all over the land.
18:13You don't know.
18:13What?
18:13What?
18:21Don't you trust me?
18:22You will trust several otherinden to stand.
18:25Please stand.
18:27We'llMBRA slow back to a stone.
18:27Maybe we'll mange our minds.
18:56They're still close.
19:08Who were they?
19:11I don't know.
19:14They're watching our trail, meaning we'd be wise to find another.
19:21We already have.
19:30Nobody goes off trail.
19:32Nobody walks alone.
19:34Nobody walks alone.
20:01Nobody walks alone.
20:03Some say the mountain was cursed on the princelet in that elf.
20:07You two wouldn't be trafficking in conjecture, would you?
20:10No.
20:11I wouldn't dream of it.
20:12Good.
20:12Because a room is like a songbird.
20:14May sound filling from afar, but up close it's an empty feast.
20:18Then it isn't true.
20:20That's something terrible is happening.
20:24We're about to prove it isn't.
20:37King Doran.
20:39Yes, sir.
20:42There be your report.
20:44Now, sire, not long ago, a fire mountain awoke.
20:50And although it resides far to our south, the ground shakes it produced, spread through the
20:59bones of the earth all the way here, collapsing our sun shafts.
21:04and with them, our ability to grow crops.
21:11Now, the obvious remedy is to set the dig teams to work
21:16repairing the shafts and sinking new ones.
21:19However...
21:19Every stone singer you've brought here
21:21has failed to identify a safe path to dig.
21:24I'm afraid that's true.
21:28With your approval, sire, we will find the light.
21:32You have it?
21:43Let's go.
21:51Maysham.
21:55Maysham.
21:57Maysham.
22:07Mason, Mason, Mason, Mason, Mason, Mason!
22:35For nine centuries, the Stonesingers have fostered our sacred connection to this rock.
22:46And in all those years, not once, not once, have they ever ceased to provide for us.
23:00But now, whatever the cause, the bond is broken, the Hand of Darkness has closed around Kazak Doom.
23:13Dig carefully, Del Master.
23:29This, uh, a moment.
23:42Are you really going to make me ask?
23:45Do you mean your grandchildren?
23:47They're well.
23:48They miss tucking your beard, of course, but...
23:51You needn't make this harder than it already is.
23:54Funny.
23:55I keep saying the same thing to him.
23:59Surely Durin knows I spoke in anger.
24:02If that's an apology I hear, King, try saying it to my husband.
24:05Why should it be me who apologizes?
24:08It was he who caused offense.
24:11I tell you, he's stubborn as a root-bound parsnip.
24:16One more quality the two of you have in common.
24:19What you call stubbornness?
24:23Son draw of skull strength.
24:26Oh, I imagine it does take strength to carry a grudge so heavy, to keep your wounded heart so tightly
24:36bound it can barely beat.
24:39Aye, it does.
24:44It truly does.
24:51No wonder we can't hear the mountain.
24:54Its king is deaf to the sorrow of his own son.
24:57Steal your axe, Deesaw.
24:58You want to show true strength.
25:02Summon your son to you.
25:05He'll answer.
25:08But leave it to him, and the peaks of Zaraxagil will fall before this feud of yours will.
25:20Oh, you're a dead end.
25:26We're going to have to work all night.
25:29Oh, here we go.
25:31They're throwing blisters, I see.
25:33No shame in it.
25:34Even I've had them.
25:36Oh, you're up.
25:37Huh?
25:38When I was found.
25:41Aye, polish hands.
25:42Been polishing jewels all his life.
25:46Don't fret, Prince.
25:47Only 13 hours to go.
25:49Aye.
25:50It's his fault we're in this mess.
25:52Not his father.
25:54Eh?
25:57Lay your finger on me again.
25:59I'll bite it off at the knuckle.
26:01Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
26:22How was the mine?
26:28About the same.
26:32Where are the weans?
26:33Said they weren't hungry.
26:35Again.
26:36Oh, I can't blame him.
26:38This rye tastes like last year's bread.
26:40It is last year's bread.
26:43Why not trade for fresh grain from the surface?
26:47Splendid idea.
26:48But who in the dimmeral dale will we find to convince your father of it?
26:52Don't start.
26:53Eh, but let me think.
26:54I said don't.
26:55Climb off your high peak and apologise.
26:58You're giving me indigestion.
26:59Good.
26:59Now listen to your guts.
27:00I am.
27:02And they still say I was right.
27:05If he hadn't have thrown Elrond out to rot,
27:08we'd have food enough for 500 years.
27:10You think this is about food?
27:15We can't hear the mountains anymore.
27:23I'm afraid, Durin.
27:28I'm afraid.
27:30These are...
27:32Come here.
27:39We're dwarves.
27:42We'll find a way.
27:45We always have.
27:48How?
27:50How?
27:53How?
28:13Our letters to Celebrimbor have all gone unanswered.
28:17I fear Sauron may be in Eregion.
28:20The High King has consented to send me and a small party there
28:24to ensure Celebrimbor and his city are safe.
28:28I am asking you to join us.
28:33As you are so fond of reminding me, Galatria,
28:37I am but a politician.
28:39And as such, you have the High King's trust.
28:42He believes in your steadfastness.
28:44A dog is steadfast
28:45and quicker to follow on a leash.
28:53He refuses to send me without you.
28:57And why is that?
28:59You know the reason.
29:00I'm asking if you know it.
29:03The High King believes
29:06that if I were to face the enemy alone,
29:09I may be vulnerable to deception.
29:12And why would he think that?
29:13Stop it, Elrond.
29:16You've defied the High King's orders before.
29:18Why not do so now?
29:21Because he is right.
29:23Sauron used me.
29:25And under his hand,
29:26I was played like a harp
29:28to a melody not of my choosing.
29:31It was entirely of your choosing.
29:35Sauron looked inside you
29:37and plucked the very song of your soul
29:39note by note,
29:41making himself out to be
29:42exactly what you needed,
29:43the lost king who could ride you to victory.
29:45You gave him everything he wanted
29:46and then thanked him for it.
29:48And now he has done the same to Gilgala
29:49and to every elf in Lindon.
29:52And that is why we need you.
29:54Help us navigate this labyrinth.
29:55There is no navigating it.
29:57The labyrinth is his.
30:00As long as you stay in it,
30:01you have already lost.
30:04He may well want you in Eregion.
30:05Please, Elrond.
30:09I cannot let him in, Gilgala.
30:12I cannot.
30:34He never left, Galadriel.
30:39In choosing to wear those rings,
30:42you have all chosen
30:43to become his collaborators.
30:46I will have no part in it.
30:50He promised me once
30:53that if but a whisper of a rumor
30:55of what I feared proved true,
30:58you would not rest
30:58until it was put right.
31:02If our friendship
31:03have meant anything to you,
31:07please leave.
31:35Do you not wish to live in beauty?
31:38Master Kirdan,
31:39I cannot trust these rings.
31:41What is beauty
31:41when it is born in part of evil?
31:43No less beautiful.
31:47Not to me.
31:48Would you cast Romil's verses
31:50into the flame
31:51because the poet was a drunkard?
31:58Romil was a drunkard.
32:01Do you not ask of Dairon?
32:04Oh, insufferable.
32:07But of voice,
32:09voice that could make the very sun
32:11weep tears of fire.
32:16Judge the work
32:19and leave judgment
32:21concerning those who wrought it
32:23to the judge who sees all things.
32:25That feels impossible.
32:29It is called humility
32:30and it is difficult for most.
32:33But it is the truest form of sight.
32:46I wish I could
32:48know your peace.
32:51You can.
32:59We do not yet fully understand
33:01these rings.
33:02But look at the power
33:04they exert
33:04over every form of life.
33:12In Sauron's hands
33:14they could work
33:15an evil beyond reckoning
33:16dominating the minds
33:18and wills of Ror.
33:20This is why
33:21they must remain
33:22in the hands of Elves.
33:26You arise
33:27to fear this power,
33:29Elrond.
33:32But do not let that fear
33:33blind you to the ways
33:35it can be used for good.
33:39For it is not your enemy
33:41that bears these rings
33:43but your most
33:46trusted friends.
33:48If you believe
33:48they have strayed
33:49do not abandon them
33:51but rather open your eyes
33:55and guide them
33:57before the darkness
33:59spreads across middle earth
34:01and blinds us all.
34:03Do not let that fear
34:03do not condemnây
34:03of, um,
34:04of, um,
34:34you need to rest
34:37certainly not

38:12Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
38:50Why isn't he stopping it?
38:52He's out!
39:05Sorry!
39:09I'm coming!
39:16Hold on!
39:18Hold on!
39:23No!
39:26No!
39:27No!
39:29No!
39:31No!
39:42It's gone.
39:46Has it?
39:52No!
40:00I have called it Ithildene,
40:02made from a last sliver of mithril.
40:05Out of the moonlight,
40:07it is all but invisible.
40:09It is...
40:12quite invisible.
40:19Our visitor,
40:21is he still...
40:23The night is cold,
40:25my lord.
40:26Shall I bring him ashore?
40:39Well...
40:45I'm hungry...
40:45and I'll buy it for the night.
40:45Well...
40:46I'm hungry.
41:24Whatever the reason for your presence here,
41:29if you do not leave willingly, you shall be removed by force.
41:34I can treat with you no longer.
41:39She said you'd say that.
41:46Galadriel, you have spoken with her.
41:49Well, haven't you?
41:51I have not.
41:53Not since she left for Lindon.
41:55Then you know nothing of what's happened.
41:58Nothing of the rings.
42:03What of the rings?
42:06Have they worked?
42:09You'd do better to ask her.
42:11She is not here.
42:13You are.
42:14What about the High King?
42:16Surely he wouldn't neglect to send words.
42:20Oh, I see.
42:23It's the oldest tale there is, isn't it?
42:29The true creators toil till their knuckles bleed.
42:33And then they come along,
42:35take whatever profits them most,
42:38and forget all about us.
42:43I applaud your patience.
42:46Where are you going?
42:48There's no cause to say where I'm not wanted.
42:53Wait.
43:06I'll run, please.
43:08Tell me.
43:10The rings.
43:12Did they work?
43:22They worked wonders.
43:27When the elves...
43:29Yes.
43:35And, uh, Lindor.
43:37Yes.
43:44Are you weeping?
43:45No.
43:51I'm reveling.
43:55You have not the slightest inkling.
44:00How this feels,
44:02after all this time,
44:03after so many centuries,
44:04to finally create something.
44:09I'm going to open a first-stage bottle.
44:13I have been...
44:15saving it.
44:21Tell the Brimbor.
44:29Are you my friend?
44:32Yes, of course.
44:35Why?
44:36Because there is no place for half-truths
44:38between those who have worked so close as you and I.
44:43And yet,
44:46there is much you do not know.
44:49Much I want to tell you.
44:52Only...
44:55You're afraid.
44:58You see,
44:59I've never been able to hide anything from you.
45:04Well...
45:08Be at ease.
45:12Whatever it is you wish to say to me,
45:14I shall receive it with an open heart.
45:18I did not come here to toast the elven rings.
45:22But to plead with you
45:24to make rings for men.
45:27Rings for men.
45:29You saved the elves.
45:32Elves are not men.
45:35Men are covetous.
45:38The risks of corruption are far greater.
45:41Even if I did wish to forge more rings,
45:43the dwarves would never provide them either.
45:45I think you'll find the dwarves facing a dilemma all their own.
45:47What dilemma?
45:48What are you talking about, Halbrad?
45:52My name is not Halbrad.
45:55What?
45:56When Galadriel discovered the truth,
45:58she cast me out.
46:00And I dare not risk the same happening with you.
46:06I take it, then, you are not a king.
46:09No.
46:10Not a king.
46:13Not a self-wonder.
46:15Not even a...
46:17mortal.
46:21What are you?
46:24There are forces in this world.
46:27Beyond evil, Calabrimbo.
46:29And sometimes they send aid
46:33in the form of an envoy.
46:37A messenger sent to bring guidance
46:40to the ears of the wise.
46:45What sort of guidance?
46:48Mordor's rise was but the beginning.
46:50At this very moment,
46:52all Middle-earth balances on the brink of the abyss.
46:55Soon, every realm will fall.
46:58Not just elves,
47:00but dwarves.
47:01And men.
47:04The darkness is growing stronger.
47:06And the rings of power
47:08are our last hope of restoring a light.
47:12You and I have work to do.
47:20You cannot expect me to believe
47:23that you are a messenger
47:25from the Valard.
47:26Sanger.
47:36I'll run.
47:40Valbrun.
47:58Valbrun.
47:59Valbrun.
48:01Valbrun.
48:26I have walked through the dust and the deserts of faraway lands.
48:32In search of an artist, possessing the craft to save all Middle-earth.
48:40A storm is coming, Celebrimbor.
48:44I can bring you the knowledge none other possesses.
48:48I can unlock your grandest abilities.
48:52And when our work is complete, never again will the world overlook you as the mere scion of Feanor.
48:58But forevermore revere you.
49:07The Lord of the Rings.
49:11The Lord of the Rings.
49:16Hear heimatalism.
49:23The Lord of the Rings.
49:24The Lord of the Rings
49:34You need not bow to me, but I have beheld your natural form.
49:44Rise. Our work begins now.
49:48What am I to call you?
49:49I am your partner. No more. No less. A sharer of gifts.
50:01An-Natar. An-Natar. Lord of gifts.
50:26You summoned me?
50:29You have new orders, Commander. You depart for a legion at first light with five of our bravest elves.
50:40I... thank you for reconsidering.
50:43Is not I you ought to thank?
50:48Elrond.
50:53I am very grateful you have decided to join my company.
50:59I am afraid you misunderstand, Galathriel. Elrond's task is not to join your company, but to lead it.
51:44What is it? Is it Elrond?
51:46It's some sort of invitation from Lord Celebrimbor. He wants the dwarves to come to Eregion.
51:57Are you okay with us?
51:59I don't know.
