| 00:33:17 |
00:33:21 |
Galadriel
|
Our letters to Celebrimbor have all gone unanswered.
|
| 00:33:21 |
00:33:23 |
Galadriel
|
I fear Sauron may be in Eregion.
|
| 00:33:24 |
00:33:27 |
Galadriel
|
The High King has consented to send me and a small party there,
|
| 00:33:28 |
00:33:30 |
Galadriel
|
to ensure Celebrimbor and his city are safe.
|
| 00:33:32 |
00:33:34 |
Galadriel
|
I'm asking you to join us.
|
| 00:33:37 |
00:33:40 |
Elrond
|
As you are so fond of reminding me, Galadriel,
|
| 00:33:42 |
00:33:43 |
Elrond
|
I am but a politician.
|
| 00:33:43 |
00:33:45 |
Galadriel
|
And as such, you have the High King's trust.
|
| 00:33:47 |
00:33:48 |
Galadriel
|
He believes in your steadfastness.
|
| 00:33:48 |
00:33:52 |
Elrond
|
A dog is steadfast. And quicker to follow on a leash.
|
| 00:33:59 |
00:34:01 |
Galadriel
|
He refuses to send me without you.
|
| 00:34:03 |
00:34:05 |
Elrond
|
And why is that?
|
| 00:34:05 |
00:34:08 |
Galadriel
|
You know the reason.
|
| 00:34:05 |
00:34:08 |
Elrond
|
I'm asking if you know it.
|
| 00:34:10 |
00:34:15 |
Galadriel
|
The High King believes, that if I were to face the Enemy alone,
|
| 00:34:16 |
00:34:18 |
Galadriel
|
I may be vulnerable to deception.
|
| 00:34:18 |
00:34:20 |
Elrond
|
And why would he think that?
|
| 00:34:20 |
00:34:21 |
Galadriel
|
Stop it, Elrond.
|
| 00:34:23 |
00:34:25 |
Elrond
|
You've defied the High King's orders before.
|
| 00:34:25 |
00:34:26 |
Elrond
|
Why not do so now?
|
| 00:34:28 |
00:34:29 |
Galadriel
|
Because he is right.
|
| 00:34:31 |
00:34:32 |
Galadriel
|
Sauron used me.
|
| 00:34:33 |
00:34:37 |
Galadriel
|
And under his hand, I was played like a harp to a melody not of my choosing.
|
| 00:34:38 |
00:34:40 |
Elrond
|
It was entirely of your choosing.
|
| 00:34:43 |
00:34:44 |
Elrond
|
Sauron looked inside you,
|
| 00:34:44 |
00:34:48 |
Elrond
|
plucked the very song of your soul, note by note,
|
| 00:34:49 |
00:34:51 |
Elrond
|
making himself out to be exactly what you needed.
|
| 00:34:51 |
00:34:53 |
Elrond
|
The Lost King who could ride you to victory.
|
| 00:34:53 |
00:34:56 |
Elrond
|
You gave him everything he wanted and then thanked him for it.
|
| 00:34:56 |
00:34:58 |
Elrond
|
And now he has done the same to Gil-galad.
|
| 00:34:58 |
00:34:59 |
Elrond
|
And to every Elf in Lindon.
|
| 00:35:00 |
00:35:04 |
Galadriel
|
And that is why we need you. Help us navigate this labyrinth.
|
| 00:35:04 |
00:35:06 |
Elrond
|
There is no navigating it.
|
| 00:35:06 |
00:35:08 |
Elrond
|
The labyrinth is his.
|
| 00:35:09 |
00:35:11 |
Elrond
|
As long as you stay in it, you've already lost.
|
| 00:35:13 |
00:35:16 |
Elrond
|
He may well want you in Eregion--
|
| 00:35:13 |
00:35:16 |
Galadriel
|
Please, Elrond.
|
| 00:35:18 |
00:35:20 |
Galadriel
|
I cannot let him in again.
|
| 00:35:22 |
00:35:23 |
Galadriel
|
I cannot.
|
| 00:35:46 |
00:35:48 |
Elrond
|
He never left, Galadriel.
|
| 00:35:50 |
00:35:52 |
Elrond
|
In choosing to wear those Rings,
|
| 00:35:53 |
00:35:56 |
Elrond
|
you have all chosen to become his collaborators.
|
| 00:35:58 |
00:36:00 |
Elrond
|
I will have no part in it.
|
| 00:36:01 |
00:36:03 |
Galadriel
|
You promised me once,
|
| 00:36:04 |
00:36:08 |
Galadriel
|
If but a whisper of a rumor of what I feared proved true,
|
| 00:36:09 |
00:36:11 |
Galadriel
|
you would not rest until it was put right.
|
| 00:36:14 |
00:36:16 |
Elrond
|
If our friendship ever meant anything to you,
|
| 00:36:19 |
00:36:20 |
Elrond
|
please leave.
