Scene 4:  The Fall of Sauron (Script - use right mouse button for a separate window)
Isildur, looking up at Sauron	Elendil lies dead	Isildur sees Elendil die
Sauron looking down on them	Isildur faces Sauron...	Sauron towering over Isildur
Narsil after Elendil's fall	Sauron reaching for Narsil	Sauron's fingers go flying...
It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the King, took up his father's sword.
Sauron's Helmet - Empty!	Sauron's armies fall	Elves, just after Sauron's fall
Sauron, the enemy of the free peoples of Middle-earth, was defeated.
Isildur reaches for the Ring...	...and picks it up, on Sauron's finger...	...and holds it in his hand.
The ring passed to Isildur, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever.
	After the battle...
But the hearts of men are easily corrupted, And the ring of power has a will of its own.
It betrayed Isildur to his death.
	And some things, that should not have been forgotten, were lost... History became legend, legend became myth, and for two-and-a-half thousand years, the Ring passed out of all knowledge.

Smeagol and Deagol, fishing on the river Anduin		Gollum spotted the Ring and went down and retrieved it
The ring came to the creature Gollum, who took it deep into the tunnels of the Misty mountains.
And there, it consumed him. The ring brought to Gollum unnatural long life. For five hundred years, it poisoned his mind. And in the gloom of Gollum's cave, it waited.
	My precious.  It came to me, my own, my precious...
Darkness crept back into the forests of the world. Rumor grew of a shadow in the East, whispers of a nameless fear... And the Ring of power perceived:  its time had now come.
It abandoned Gollum.
But something happened then, the ring did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable:
	What's this?   A Ring?
A hobbit, Bilbo Baggins of the Shire.
	Bilbo hears Gollum's cries...
For the time would soon come when hobbits will shape the fortunes of all...
