Part VIII Mount Doom
Master...
It's just that...
I feel like I have to do something before the end...
Feels like...That's right!
Have to finish the job!
Oh, well...
You go on and sleep.
Sam stays guard.
Precious!
Oursss...
But... Smeagol promised...
Well, yeah.
So we promised, yess.
But to save the precious so that...
...HE wouldn't get it...
What the Hobbit is going to do with it, that's what we're thinking...
Yesss, that's what we're thinking.
Well, we don't know. Master has it now.
Smeagol promised to help master...
Yea, yeah, yeah, so we promised, yesss...
But...
If WE would have it...
...then we would be... the master.
And then we could help ourselves,
...and keep all the promises.
Nice Hobbit, it speaks so nicely to Smeagol...
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's be nice, too.
Let's be SO nice too.
Cute like little fishies, nothing bad to nice Hobbit,
...of course nothing bad.
But let's take it and... keep it to ourselves and...
Then we make the bad Hobbit crawl!
Yesss, but not the nice Hobbit.
Not the nice one at all.
It's a Baggins!
It's a Baggins and a Baggins found the precious and stole it...
...and didn't say anything to us.
We HATE the Bagginses!
We must have it!
But if HE comes and sees it, he takes it away from us...
Yesss, but...
If we had it...
...then we would be great...
We could be like...
"Mister Smeagol"...
...and Gollum the Great.
The Gollum of Gollums...
And we'd eat fishies...
Three times a day.
Fresh fishies three times a day.
Fresh fishies straight from the sea, three times a day.
Must have it! Want it! Want it!
Want it! WANT IT...
It's so...
...nice Hobbit.
It speaks...
...nicely...
...to Smeagol.
Smeagol also...
...nice.
Long time ago...
...Smeagol...
...remembers...
What are you pawing?
N-no paw... Smeagol is guarding...
Yes, you were pawing, I saw you.
You little sneak!
A sneak?
A SNEAK?!
Smeagol tired and hungry,
...and helps the Hobbitses,
...and this one calls us sneak?
Let's be sneaks, then!
Yess, some true friends we have, precious!
Sneak, yes!
Well, all right, all right!
Gollum?
Is it today or tomorrow?
Today is tomorrow!
Master... master! Master!
It's still dark...
It's always dark here.
But Gollum has come back and it says that today is tomorrow.
We must go!
Master... The last passage!
Gollum...
You have led us well and faithfully.
Take us to the Gates of Mordor,
...and you're free to go wherever you want.
To the Gate, yess.
Master wants to go to the Gate, then sure, let's go to the Gate.
Smeagol does what Master wishes.
Let's go to the Gate, then we'll see what we see,
...and doesn't seem very good at all...
Doesn't seem so, precious.
Let's just go!
Master follow...
All right then, master... Let's go!
Nazgul... restless... spies... by the Gate...
Double watch...
Nasty business... And still didn't tell what to look for...
They didn't?
Even the leader can make mistakes...
Shut up, maggot.
They can make mistakes, but they have eyes and ears everywhere.
I'm afraid we're stuck here.
We can't get through that.
We knew it, precious.
That Hobbitses can't go this way.
We knew it, didn't we?
So what the heck did you take us here for, then?!
Because master said so!
I said so because I'm going to go into Mordor.
And I'm not asking for anyone to come with me.
But you mustn't go that way, master.
You mustn't give the Ring to him!
He eats the whole world if he gets it!
Mustn't give the Ring to him...
Master could go away.
Master could go home...
...and give the Ring to Smeagol.
Oh, how Smeagol would keep it safe...
...and do some good, LOTS of good.
Master could go home, and give the Ring to Smeagol.
Right, master?
I've been assigned to go to the land of Mordor.
And that's why I go.
No! No, mustn't go that way, master.
There's another way...
Much darker, longer, and more dangerous and harder to find...
...but Smeagol found it. Smeagol knows.
Another way?
Yes. Smeagol found a little path,
...going high atop the mountain,
...stepss, svery slong and sdarks stepss, and then there's...
...stunnel, very snarrow stunnel, and at the end...
But it was many years ago.
Maybe the path is still there, maybe it isn't...
Can't really know, whether it is or isn't...
Doesn't sound very good. Seems a bit too easy.
If there is a tunnel, then isn't it guarded also, what?
Maybe is, maybe isn't! No way to know, since there's no safe place in this land.
But master has to try, or go home.
There's no other way.
Very well, Smeagol.
I will trust you this last time.
I'll come with you.
Very nice master. Nice Smeagol.
Now we must go, this way.
Master follow.
Soft and quick as shadows we must be.
And now here, master,
...we go across a BRIDGE!
Master goes, it's a very good bridge!
All the peoples go to Mordor.
They go through the Black Gate. More and more people go to Mordor.
Soon everyone will be there.
I wonder if there are oliphaunts in Mordor?
There's no ovitants.
What is an... ovitant?
Grey as a mouse Big as a house
Nose like a snake I make the earth shake
As I tramp through the grass Trees crack as I pass
With horns in my mouth I walk in the South
Flapping big ears Beyond count of years
I stump round and round Never lie on the ground
Not even to die Oliphaunt am I
Biggest of all Huge, old, and tall
If ever you'd meet me You wouldn't forget me
If you never do You won't think I'm true
But old oliphaunt am I And I never lie.
It's a Shire poem!
It may or may not be nonsense,
...but at least we have our own songs and folklore.
Wraiths...
Wraiths on wings!
They will see us! They will see the precious!
We cannot stay here!
We must hide, precious!
Master Frodo, come!
It's telling the truth!
We can't stay here!
I have to rest a bit...
I can't... It's heavy, Sam.
It weighs heavily.
Mustn't rest now. Must go now.
The Eye sees!
Must hide! Away from here!
This way, follow Smeagol.
Master Frodo, come!
Must go through here.
Master come over there.
Very good night. Atop are we.
Clever Hobbitses to walk so high.
Hobbitses rest.
Rest here now.
Then Hobbitses go inside the tunnel.
In the stunnel, yes, precious...
And then if Hobbitses get through the stunnel, they are almost there.
Yess, almost there. Right, precious? Almost there...
I like nothing here...
Step or stone.
Breath or bone.
Earth, air, and water...
All seem accursed...
...but so our path is laid.
These...
...grand and mighty plans...
...are not really my thing.
I was just thinking that...
...I wonder if we ever get to be in tales and songs?
Well, we are already in a story, of course, but...
...I wonder if someone will someday put it into words?
And tell it by a fireplace?
Or, read it from a great book.
A red book with...
...black letters.
Many, many years later.
Then one would say:
"How about if someone told...
...about Frodo and the Ring?"
"Good."
"It's one of the best stories I know."
"Frodo was a damn brave Hobbit, wasn't he?"
"Oh, yes."
"Frodo was the bravest of all Hobbits."
"That's saying a lot."
"That's a bit too much."
"But you forgot one of the major characters:"
"Samwise the Brave."
"Tell me more about Sam."
"Why isn't there any more of his speeches?"
"They are the best ones. I like them the most."
"Besides, Frodo wouldn't have gotten very far without Sam."
Stop joking around, master.
I was being serious.
So was I.
Sam?
- Yes?
We're getting ahead of ourselves.
We're currently in one of the worst places in the story.
It's quite certain that someone would say at this point:
"Let's close the book."
"I don't want to hear the end."
Could be.
But I wouldn't say that.
When...
When something is done and it's over...
...and it's part of some bigger story, then...
It's really something else.
Even Gollum could be a good guy in that story.
Or at least better than here in reality.
Gollum, do you want to be a hero?
Gollum!
Where did it go?
I don't like at all how it sneaks away without saying a word.
There's no need to worry about it.
If this is the only way...
...we have to use it.
Sam...
Run away!
Go back!
GO BACK!
Shelob got it! - Master!
Master Frodo! It's Sam!
Don't leave me alone!
Don't go where I can't follow...
He is dead.
Not asleep...
...but dead.
What do I do now?
What do I do now??
