| 00:40:19 |
00:40:22 |
Galadriel
|
Apologies, Your Majesty, for the intrusion. But I...
|
| 00:40:22 |
00:40:24 |
Míriel
|
He no longer answers to that.
|
| 00:40:32 |
00:40:33 |
Galadriel
|
How did you know I would come here?
|
| 00:40:33 |
00:40:37 |
Míriel
|
A garrison of troops awaits outside to escort you to your ship.
|
| 00:40:38 |
00:40:40 |
Míriel
|
You would be wise to go willingly.
|
| 00:40:41 |
00:40:43 |
Tar-Palantir
|
Míriel.
|
| 00:40:50 |
00:40:51 |
Tar-Palantir
|
Míriel.
|
| 00:41:00 |
00:41:01 |
Tar-Palantir
|
I... I...
|
| 00:41:01 |
00:41:04 |
Míriel
|
It's all right, Father. I'm here.
|
| 00:41:08 |
00:41:09 |
Galadriel
|
Forgive me.
|
| 00:41:11 |
00:41:12 |
Galadriel
|
I did not know.
|
| 00:41:13 |
00:41:15 |
Míriel
|
Few know the full extent of his decline.
|
| 00:41:18 |
00:41:20 |
Míriel
|
I should like to keep it that way.
|
| 00:41:20 |
00:41:23 |
Galadriel
|
Then it is time for truth between us.
|
| 00:41:26 |
00:41:28 |
Galadriel
|
Your father was loyal to the Elvish ways.
|
| 00:41:29 |
00:41:31 |
Galadriel
|
Why are you not?
|
| 00:41:32 |
00:41:33 |
Galadriel
|
Tell me.
|
| 00:41:35 |
00:41:37 |
Galadriel
|
Please.
|
| 00:41:39 |
00:41:42 |
Míriel
|
My father was always restrained in his beliefs.
|
| 00:41:43 |
00:41:46 |
Míriel
|
But after his coronation, something changed.
|
| 00:41:48 |
00:41:50 |
Míriel
|
He became strident,
|
| 00:41:50 |
00:41:54 |
Míriel
|
proclaiming that we'd provoked the anger of the Valar,
|
| 00:41:54 |
00:41:57 |
Míriel
|
and must repent, and return to the old ways.
|
| 00:41:59 |
00:42:01 |
Míriel
|
There was unease.
|
| 00:42:02 |
00:42:05 |
Míriel
|
And when he announced plans to renew relations with the Elves...
|
| 00:42:05 |
00:42:07 |
Míriel
|
The people rebelled.
|
| 00:42:10 |
00:42:11 |
Míriel
|
Much was lost.
|
| 00:42:14 |
00:42:17 |
Míriel
|
I was chosen to rule in his stead,
|
| 00:42:18 |
00:42:20 |
Míriel
|
with a promise to quell the storm.
|
| 00:42:21 |
00:42:25 |
Míriel
|
But that first night, as all Númenor slept,
|
| 00:42:25 |
00:42:27 |
Míriel
|
he brought me here.
|
| 00:42:32 |
00:42:34 |
Galadriel
|
Palantír.
|
| 00:42:35 |
00:42:37 |
Míriel
|
Seven Seeing Stones there once were.
|
| 00:42:38 |
00:42:40 |
Míriel
|
The other six either lost or hidden.
|
| 00:42:41 |
00:42:43 |
Míriel
|
This one was passed to my father.
|
| 00:42:44 |
00:42:46 |
Míriel
|
And with it, a secret.
|
| 00:42:49 |
00:42:51 |
Míriel
|
Place your hand upon it.
|
| 00:42:54 |
00:42:57 |
Míriel
|
I must warn you...
|
| 00:42:54 |
00:42:57 |
Galadriel
|
I have touched palantíri before.
|
| 00:42:57 |
00:42:59 |
Míriel
|
But you have not touched this one.
|
| 00:43:28 |
00:43:30 |
Míriel
|
It is Númenor's future you saw.
|
| 00:43:34 |
00:43:36 |
Galadriel
|
Palantíri show many visions.
|
| 00:43:37 |
00:43:39 |
Galadriel
|
Some that will never come to pass.
|
| 00:43:39 |
00:43:41 |
Míriel
|
It has already come to pass.
|
| 00:43:42 |
00:43:44 |
Míriel
|
The vision begins with your arrival.
|
| 00:43:45 |
00:43:48 |
Galadriel
|
And you believe I will bring about Númenor's downfall?
|
| 00:43:48 |
00:43:51 |
Míriel
|
Only Númenor can bring about her downfall.
|
| 00:43:52 |
00:43:55 |
Míriel
|
The Valar gifted us this isle in a day of virtue.
|
| 00:43:55 |
00:43:58 |
Míriel
|
They can take it away should we turn to the paths of darkness.
|
| 00:43:58 |
00:44:02 |
Galadriel
|
The virtue you speak of was your ancestors' loyalty to the Elves.
|
| 00:44:02 |
00:44:04 |
Míriel
|
My father believed that.
|
| 00:44:05 |
00:44:07 |
Míriel
|
His path nearly destroyed us.
|
| 00:44:09 |
00:44:13 |
Míriel
|
That is why, tomorrow, I will announce that you are gone.
|
| 00:44:13 |
00:44:15 |
Míriel
|
And this crisis ended.
|
| 00:44:18 |
00:44:21 |
Galadriel
|
If the evil rising in Middle-earth is left unchecked,
|
| 00:44:21 |
00:44:23 |
Galadriel
|
it will spread and take us all.
|
| 00:44:24 |
00:44:27 |
Galadriel
|
Avoiding this war may be the very thing that brings about your downfall.
|
| 00:44:27 |
00:44:31 |
Míriel
|
I will not second-guess the gods. My decision is final.
|
| 00:44:31 |
00:44:32 |
Galadriel
|
A decision based in fear.
|
| 00:44:34 |
00:44:38 |
Galadriel
|
I know what it is to be the only one,
|
| 00:44:40 |
00:44:42 |
Galadriel
|
the only one who sees,
|
| 00:44:42 |
00:44:44 |
Galadriel
|
the only one who knows.
|
| 00:44:46 |
00:44:49 |
Galadriel
|
Perhaps neither of us have to bear that burden alone any longer.
|
| 00:44:50 |
00:44:54 |
Galadriel
|
I beg of you, Míriel, choose not the path of fear,
|
| 00:44:54 |
00:44:56 |
Galadriel
|
but that of faith.
|
| 00:44:56 |
00:44:58 |
Galadriel
|
Stand with me.
|
| 00:44:59 |
00:45:02 |
Galadriel
|
Let Númenor fight alongside the Elves once more.
|
| 00:45:11 |
00:45:15 |
Míriel
|
Faith may bind one heart, Galadriel.
|
| 00:45:16 |
00:45:19 |
Míriel
|
But it is too fine a thread from which to hang a kingdom.
|
| 00:45:22 |
00:45:23 |
Míriel
|
I'm sorry.
