00:09:35 |
00:09:39 |
Mirdania
|
This gatehouse is typically athrum with artisans and merchants
|
00:09:39 |
00:09:40 |
Mirdania
|
traveling into the city.
|
00:09:40 |
00:09:42 |
Mirdania
|
But it all strangely halted yester-eve.
|
00:09:42 |
00:09:44 |
Malendol
|
We sent a search party across the river
|
00:09:44 |
00:09:46 |
Malendol
|
to see if there was an obstruction upon the road.
|
00:09:46 |
00:09:48 |
Malendol
|
But only one soldier returned.
|
00:09:48 |
00:09:49 |
Annatar
|
Where is he?
|
00:09:53 |
00:09:58 |
Malendol
|
Washed up this morning. He appeared to be carrying a message.
|
00:10:05 |
00:10:07 |
Annatar
|
Bury him.
|
00:10:10 |
00:10:11 |
Annatar
|
Show this to no one.
|
00:10:18 |
00:10:20 |
Mirdania
|
And shall I inform Lord Celebrimbor?
|
00:10:21 |
00:10:22 |
Annatar
|
No.
|
00:10:22 |
00:10:26 |
Annatar
|
He has asked me to see to it that no one is permitted to disturb him.
|
00:10:27 |
00:10:29 |
Annatar
|
Not even the smiths.
|
00:10:30 |
00:10:31 |
Mirdania
|
He has stripped us of our duties?
|
00:10:33 |
00:10:34 |
Annatar
|
Yes, I am afraid so.
|
00:10:36 |
00:10:39 |
Mirdania
|
Was it that business about him forgetting my name?
|
00:10:39 |
00:10:41 |
Mirdania
|
I know I was brusque with him, but...
|
00:10:41 |
00:10:44 |
Annatar
|
He's not himself, Mirdania.
|
00:10:46 |
00:10:49 |
Annatar
|
For now, all we can do is leave him in solitude.
|
00:10:49 |
00:10:52 |
Annatar
|
Give him time. And pray.
|
00:10:54 |
00:10:56 |
Annatar
|
Pray that he finishes this work before it finishes him.
|
00:11:09 |
00:11:11 |
Annatar
|
Can I trust you...
|
00:11:12 |
00:11:15 |
Annatar
|
to make sure the others respect his wishes as well?
|
00:11:16 |
00:11:18 |
Mirdania
|
Of course, my lord.
|
00:11:27 |
00:11:30 |
Mirdania
|
My lord, the carving. On the body.
|
00:11:31 |
00:11:32 |
Mirdania
|
What did it say?
|
00:11:39 |
00:11:40 |
Annatar
|
Where is He?
|
00:12:27 |
00:12:30 |
Adar
|
During my brief time in your capture,
|
00:12:32 |
00:12:34 |
Adar
|
you seemed intent on finding Sauron.
|
00:12:35 |
00:12:38 |
Adar
|
One might even say, consumed by it,
|
00:12:40 |
00:12:41 |
Adar
|
the way one always is,
|
00:12:42 |
00:12:44 |
Adar
|
once he has wormed his way inside your mind.
|
00:12:45 |
00:12:47 |
Galadriel
|
You know nothing of my mind.
|
00:12:49 |
00:12:51 |
Galadriel
|
You yielded to him.
|
00:12:51 |
00:12:53 |
Galadriel
|
I resisted.
|
00:12:53 |
00:12:55 |
Adar
|
For a while, perhaps.
|
00:12:58 |
00:13:00 |
Adar
|
But sooner or later, he sees you.
|
00:13:02 |
00:13:07 |
Adar
|
Not just who you are, but who you wish to be.
|
00:13:07 |
00:13:11 |
Adar
|
His eye bores a hole and the rest of him slithers in.
|
00:13:14 |
00:13:20 |
Adar
|
For a while, he even makes you believe that his power has become yours.
|
00:13:22 |
00:13:23 |
Adar
|
Irresistible power...
|
00:13:24 |
00:13:28 |
Adar
|
that makes every desire's fulfillment seem inevitable.
|
00:13:29 |
00:13:30 |
Adar
|
An ocean of color
|
00:13:32 |
00:13:35 |
Adar
|
against which everything else feels forever thereafter--
|
00:13:35 |
00:13:38 |
Galadriel
|
A dull gray.
|
00:13:45 |
00:13:47 |
Adar
|
What did he promise you?
|
00:13:49 |
00:13:50 |
Galadriel
|
An army.
|
00:13:51 |
00:13:53 |
Adar
|
Do you want to know what he offered me?
|
00:13:55 |
00:13:56 |
Galadriel
|
I care not.
|
00:13:58 |
00:13:59 |
Adar
|
Children.
|
00:14:00 |
00:14:03 |
Galadriel
|
Then it would seem he gave us both what we desired.
|
00:14:04 |
00:14:05 |
Adar
|
You see,
|
00:14:07 |
00:14:09 |
Adar
|
it is not his lies which must be extinguished.
|
00:14:11 |
00:14:12 |
Adar
|
It is him.
|
00:14:14 |
00:14:16 |
Adar
|
And I can help you do it.
|
00:14:18 |
00:14:20 |
Adar
|
I can help you destroy Sauron.
|
00:14:20 |
00:14:23 |
Galadriel
|
What help could you possibly provide, Orc?
|
00:14:25 |
00:14:26 |
Adar
|
Uruk.
|
00:14:39 |
00:14:42 |
Galadriel
|
Morgoth's crown. I was told--
|
00:14:42 |
00:14:44 |
Adar
|
There are many stories of what happened,
|
00:14:44 |
00:14:46 |
Adar
|
after the Silmarils were pried from its settings.
|
00:14:47 |
00:14:50 |
Adar
|
But I was there when Sauron re-fired it to fit himself.
|
00:14:52 |
00:14:54 |
Adar
|
I was there when he kneeled to be crowned.
|
00:14:56 |
00:15:02 |
Adar
|
And I was the one who used its power, to slay him.
|
00:15:04 |
00:15:06 |
Galadriel
|
If what you say is true,
|
00:15:08 |
00:15:09 |
Galadriel
|
why did he return?
|
00:15:09 |
00:15:11 |
Adar
|
Because I had not yet found you.
|
00:15:13 |
00:15:14 |
Galadriel
|
What part am I to play in this?
|
00:15:14 |
00:15:18 |
Adar
|
It is said the Three Elven Rings saved your kind from fading.
|
00:15:19 |
00:15:21 |
Adar
|
Is it true?
|
00:15:23 |
00:15:28 |
Adar
|
If it is, then perhaps together,
|
00:15:28 |
00:15:30 |
Adar
|
this crown and your Rings would be powerful enough
|
00:15:30 |
00:15:33 |
Adar
|
to truly destroy Sauron forever.
|
00:15:35 |
00:15:38 |
Adar
|
The Deceiver believes he is still beyond my grasp.
|
00:15:40 |
00:15:42 |
Adar
|
But I know he hides in Eregion.
|
00:15:44 |
00:15:48 |
Adar
|
And I suspect you know for certain...
|
00:15:55 |
00:15:57 |
Adar
|
Halbrand is Sauron.
|
00:15:59 |
00:16:00 |
Adar
|
Isn't he?
|
00:16:05 |
00:16:07 |
Adar
|
The fate of that city
|
00:16:08 |
00:16:11 |
Adar
|
now rests on your ability to put aside your pride.
|
00:16:14 |
00:16:16 |
Adar
|
I suggest you find the will to do so.
|
00:16:17 |
00:16:19 |
Adar
|
If you can.
|
00:16:34 |
00:16:36 |
Adar
|
We will speak again.
|
