| Scene 1: Capture by Faramir, Henneth Annûn (Click HERE for the associated images) | |
|
(Frodo runs right into a Gondorian Ranger, who grabs hold of him and
throws him onto his back. Sam sees Frodo in danger and grapples
for his sword) | |
| Sam: |
Ah! (He charges at Faramir but is grabbed by another ranger and thrown down. A sword appears at his throat. Faramir comes up to them) |
| Faramir: |
Bind their hands. (We see Faramir and the Gondorian rangers with the captured Frodo and Sam) (Faramir and company have reached Henneth Annûn. Frodo and Sam are being carried, blindfolded, into a cave behind a waterfall) (Inside the cave, Faramir is conferring with one of his men. They unroll a map) What news? |
| Madril: |
Our scouts report Saruman has attacked Rohan. Théoden’s
people have fled to Helm’s Deep. (He points at the map) But we must look to our own borders. Faramir, Orcs are on the move. Sauron is marshalling an army. Easterlings and Southrons are passing through the Black Gate. |
| Faramir: |
How many? |
| Madril: |
Some thousands. More come every day. |
| Faramir: |
Who’s covering the river to the north? |
| Madril: |
We pulled 500 men from Osgiliath, but if the city is attacked, we won’t
hold it. |
| Faramir: |
(He traces the routes on the map) Saruman attacks from Isengard. Sauron from Mordor. The fight will come to men on both fronts. Gondor is weak. Sauron will strike us soon. And he will strike hard. He knows now we do not have the strength to repel him. (The hobbits are unbound and their blindfolds removed. They find themselves in a cave behind a waterfall. Faramir comes up to them and sits) My men tell me that you are orc spies. |
| Sam: |
Spies?! Now wait just a minute! |
| Faramir: |
Well if you’re not spies, then who are you? (Frodo and Sam remain silent) Speak. |
| Frodo: |
We are hobbits of the Shire. Frodo Baggins is my name and this is
Samwise Gamgee. |
| Faramir: |
Your bodyguard? |
| Sam: |
His gardener. |
| Faramir: |
And where is your skulking friend? That gangrel creature?
He had an ill-favoured look. |
| Frodo: |
(He hesitates for a moment) There was no other. (Sam looks uncomfortable with this deception) |
| Frodo: |
We set out from Rivendell with seven companions. One we lost in
Moria. Two were my kin. A Dwarf there was also, and an
Elf. And two men, Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and Boromir of
Gondor. |
| Faramir: |
You were a friend of Boromir? |
| Frodo: |
Yes... for my part. |
| Faramir: |
It would grieve you, then, to learn that he was dead. |
| Frodo: |
Dead!? How? When? |
| Faramir: |
As one of his companions, I hoped you would tell me... He was my brother. |
