| 00:14:46 |
00:14:50 |
Gil-galad
|
One object. For all Middle-earth.
|
| 00:14:50 |
00:14:52 |
Elrond
|
I know it sounds strange, High King.
|
| 00:14:52 |
00:14:56 |
Elrond
|
But surely, we should exhaust every possible solution.
|
| 00:14:56 |
00:14:58 |
Gil-galad
|
Precisely what manner of object?
|
| 00:14:58 |
00:15:01 |
Celebrimbor
|
It would be smaller than previously imagined.
|
| 00:15:02 |
00:15:03 |
Celebrimbor
|
Something that could be carried...
|
| 00:15:03 |
00:15:04 |
Elrond
|
A scepter perhaps.
|
| 00:15:03 |
00:15:04 |
Galadriel
|
A sword?
|
| 00:15:05 |
00:15:07 |
Celebrimbor
|
Or perhaps... A crown.
|
| 00:15:10 |
00:15:11 |
Gil-galad
|
Why a crown?
|
| 00:15:11 |
00:15:13 |
Celebrimbor
|
A circular form will be ideal.
|
| 00:15:13 |
00:15:17 |
Celebrimbor
|
Allowing the light to arc back upon itself in one unbroken round,
|
| 00:15:17 |
00:15:21 |
Celebrimbor
|
building to a power that is all but unbounded.
|
| 00:15:22 |
00:15:26 |
Gil-galad
|
And you would place all that power upon the brow of one being?
|
| 00:15:26 |
00:15:29 |
Elrond
|
Not just any one being, High King. You.
|
| 00:15:33 |
00:15:35 |
Gil-galad
|
Perilous are these whisperings...
|
| 00:15:35 |
00:15:38 |
Galadriel
|
Sometimes the perilous path is the only path.
|
| 00:15:38 |
00:15:40 |
Galadriel
|
I wouldn't be standing here otherwise.
|
| 00:15:40 |
00:15:42 |
Gil-galad
|
You should not be standing here at all.
|
| 00:15:43 |
00:15:45 |
Elrond
|
High King, we ask only for the time needed
|
| 00:15:45 |
00:15:48 |
Elrond
|
to gather the Elven-smiths and test Celebrimbor's theory...
|
| 00:15:48 |
00:15:49 |
Gil-galad
|
Our time runs short.
|
| 00:15:49 |
00:15:52 |
Celebrimbor
|
Yes, that is why...
|
| 00:15:49 |
00:15:52 |
Gil-galad
|
Shorter than you know.
|
| 00:15:53 |
00:15:58 |
Gil-galad
|
Since the mountain of fire's eruption, the Great Tree is all but bleeding leaves.
|
| 00:15:58 |
00:16:00 |
Gil-galad
|
Soon, the last will fall.
|
| 00:16:00 |
00:16:05 |
Gil-galad
|
And unless our people leave these shores, so shall we.
|
| 00:16:08 |
00:16:12 |
Gil-galad
|
There is no Elf in Middle-earth who wanted a solution more than I.
|
| 00:16:13 |
00:16:18 |
Gil-galad
|
But if this was to be our salvation, I'm afraid we needed it sooner.
|
| 00:16:18 |
00:16:20 |
Celebrimbor
|
But I almost had it sooner.
|
| 00:16:21 |
00:16:23 |
Celebrimbor
|
It was only in speaking with the Southlander that I realized...
|
| 00:16:24 |
00:16:26 |
Gil-galad
|
The low man? This idea was his?
|
| 00:16:26 |
00:16:30 |
Celebrimbor
|
His suggestions were but the key that unlocked the dam.
|
| 00:16:30 |
00:16:34 |
Celebrimbor
|
We are on the cusp of crafting a new kind of power.
|
| 00:16:34 |
00:16:37 |
Celebrimbor
|
Not of strength, but of spirit.
|
| 00:16:37 |
00:16:40 |
Celebrimbor
|
Not of the flesh, but over flesh.
|
| 00:16:42 |
00:16:43 |
Celebrimbor
|
This is...
|
| 00:16:44 |
00:16:47 |
Celebrimbor
|
This is a power of the Unseen World.
|
| 00:16:49 |
00:16:52 |
Gil-galad
|
I am sorry, Lord Celebrimbor.
|
| 00:16:53 |
00:16:56 |
Gil-galad
|
You are hereby commanded to disband the city
|
| 00:16:56 |
00:16:59 |
Gil-galad
|
and return to Lindon immediately.
|
| 00:17:00 |
00:17:01 |
Gil-galad
|
All of you.
|
| 00:17:16 |
00:17:19 |
Galadriel
|
Those words, "a power over flesh."
|
| 00:17:20 |
00:17:22 |
Galadriel
|
Where did you hear them?
|
| 00:17:23 |
00:17:25 |
Celebrimbor
|
Uh...
|
| 00:17:26 |
00:17:29 |
Celebrimbor
|
I was conferring with my smiths. I think I...
|
| 00:17:31 |
00:17:34 |
Celebrimbor
|
I believe those are my words.
|
| 00:17:31 |
00:17:34 |
Galadriel
|
Was Halbrand with you?
|
| 00:17:36 |
00:17:39 |
Celebrimbor
|
What does it matter? It's over.
