| 00:48:55 |
00:48:57 |
Celebrimbor
|
Halbrand. Please. Tell me.
|
| 00:48:58 |
00:49:02 |
Celebrimbor
|
The Rings. Did they work?
|
| 00:49:11 |
00:49:13 |
Halbrand
|
They worked wonders.
|
| 00:49:17 |
00:49:18 |
Celebrimbor
|
Then, the Elves--
|
| 00:49:18 |
00:49:19 |
Halbrand
|
Yes.
|
| 00:49:24 |
00:49:26 |
Celebrimbor
|
And, uh, Lindon?
|
| 00:49:27 |
00:49:28 |
Halbrand
|
Yes.
|
| 00:49:35 |
00:49:36 |
Halbrand
|
Are you weeping?
|
| 00:49:35 |
00:49:36 |
Celebrimbor
|
No.
|
| 00:49:42 |
00:49:44 |
Celebrimbor
|
I am reveling.
|
| 00:49:46 |
00:49:49 |
Celebrimbor
|
You have not the slightest inkling...
|
| 00:49:51 |
00:49:53 |
Celebrimbor
|
how this feels.
|
| 00:49:53 |
00:49:55 |
Celebrimbor
|
After all this time, after so many centuries,
|
| 00:49:55 |
00:49:58 |
Celebrimbor
|
to finally create something.
|
| 00:50:01 |
00:50:02 |
Celebrimbor
|
I'm going to open a First Age bottle.
|
| 00:50:05 |
00:50:08 |
Celebrimbor
|
I have been saving it.
|
| 00:50:13 |
00:50:15 |
Halbrand
|
Celebrimbor...
|
| 00:50:21 |
00:50:22 |
Halbrand
|
Are you my friend?
|
| 00:50:24 |
00:50:26 |
Celebrimbor
|
Yes, of course.
|
| 00:50:27 |
00:50:28 |
Celebrimbor
|
Why?
|
| 00:50:28 |
00:50:30 |
Halbrand
|
Because there is no place for half-truths
|
| 00:50:30 |
00:50:33 |
Halbrand
|
between those who've worked so close as you and I.
|
| 00:50:34 |
00:50:35 |
Celebrimbor
|
Oh...
|
| 00:50:37 |
00:50:40 |
Halbrand
|
And yet there is much you do not know.
|
| 00:50:42 |
00:50:43 |
Halbrand
|
Much I want to tell you.
|
| 00:50:45 |
00:50:46 |
Halbrand
|
Only...
|
| 00:50:49 |
00:50:50 |
Celebrimbor
|
You're afraid.
|
| 00:50:52 |
00:50:55 |
Halbrand
|
You see? I've never been able to hide anything from you.
|
| 00:50:56 |
00:50:58 |
Celebrimbor
|
Well...
|
| 00:51:02 |
00:51:04 |
Celebrimbor
|
Be at ease.
|
| 00:51:07 |
00:51:10 |
Celebrimbor
|
Whatever it is you wish to say to me, I shall receive it with an open heart.
|
| 00:51:13 |
00:51:15 |
Halbrand
|
I did not come here to toast the Elven Rings.
|
| 00:51:17 |
00:51:21 |
Halbrand
|
But to plead with you to make Rings for Men.
|
| 00:51:22 |
00:51:23 |
Celebrimbor
|
Rings for Men?
|
| 00:51:24 |
00:51:26 |
Halbrand
|
You saved the Elves.
|
| 00:51:24 |
00:51:26 |
Celebrimbor
|
Uh...
|
| 00:51:28 |
00:51:29 |
Celebrimbor
|
Elves are not Men.
|
| 00:51:30 |
00:51:31 |
Celebrimbor
|
Men are covetous.
|
| 00:51:34 |
00:51:36 |
Celebrimbor
|
The risks of, of corruption are far greater.
|
| 00:51:37 |
00:51:39 |
Celebrimbor
|
Even if I did wish to forge more Rings,
|
| 00:51:39 |
00:51:41 |
Celebrimbor
|
the Dwarves would never provide the mithril.
|
| 00:51:41 |
00:51:43 |
Halbrand
|
I think you'll find the Dwarves facing a dilemma all their own.
|
| 00:51:44 |
00:51:46 |
Celebrimbor
|
What dilemma? What are you talking about, Halbrand?
|
| 00:51:48 |
00:51:50 |
Halbrand
|
My name is not Halbrand.
|
| 00:51:52 |
00:51:53 |
Celebrimbor
|
What?
|
| 00:51:53 |
00:51:56 |
Halbrand
|
When Galadriel discovered the truth, she cast me out.
|
| 00:51:57 |
00:51:59 |
Halbrand
|
And I dare not risk the same happening with you.
|
| 00:52:03 |
00:52:06 |
Celebrimbor
|
I... I take it then you are not a King.
|
| 00:52:06 |
00:52:09 |
Halbrand
|
No. Not a King.
|
| 00:52:10 |
00:52:12 |
Halbrand
|
Not a Southlander.
|
| 00:52:13 |
00:52:16 |
Halbrand
|
Not even a... mortal.
|
| 00:52:20 |
00:52:21 |
Celebrimbor
|
What are you?
|
| 00:52:22 |
00:52:28 |
Halbrand
|
There are forces in this world beyond evil, Celebrimbor.
|
| 00:52:28 |
00:52:32 |
Halbrand
|
And sometimes, they send aid,
|
| 00:52:33 |
00:52:34 |
Halbrand
|
in the form of an envoy.
|
| 00:52:34 |
00:52:40 |
Halbrand
|
A... A messenger, sent to bring guidance to the ears of the wise.
|
| 00:52:42 |
00:52:42 |
Celebrimbor
|
Uh...
|
| 00:52:44 |
00:52:46 |
Celebrimbor
|
What sort of guidance?
|
| 00:52:48 |
00:52:50 |
Halbrand
|
Mordor's rise was but the beginning.
|
| 00:52:50 |
00:52:53 |
Halbrand
|
At this very moment, all Middle-earth balances on the brink of the abyss.
|
| 00:52:54 |
00:52:56 |
Halbrand
|
Soon, every realm will fall.
|
| 00:52:58 |
00:53:02 |
Halbrand
|
Not just Elves, but Dwarves. And Men.
|
| 00:53:04 |
00:53:06 |
Halbrand
|
The darkness is growing stronger.
|
| 00:53:07 |
00:53:10 |
Halbrand
|
And the Rings of Power are our last hope of restoring the light.
|
| 00:53:13 |
00:53:15 |
Halbrand
|
You and I have work to do.
|
| 00:53:21 |
00:53:24 |
Celebrimbor
|
You cannot expect me to believe
|
| 00:53:24 |
00:53:28 |
Celebrimbor
|
that you are a, a messenger from the Valar sent to--
|
