Scenes 21 to 24

Scene 22 ~ Rivendell
FRODO: | (waking in a dream, surrounded by white light) Where am I ?
GANDALF: | (speaking tho not visible) You are in the House of Elrond (the white mist clears) and it is ten o'clock in the morning on October the 24th, if you want to know
Frodo still has his eyes closed, but frowns confused. He opens his eyes and looks to the side of his bed
FRODO: | (surprised) Gandalf!
GANDALF: | (is sitting beside the bed that Frodo is lying in, smoking his pipe) Yes, I am here (he draws on his pipe) and you're lucky to be here too. A few more hours and you would have been beyond our aid, (he shakes his head) but you have some strength in you (he smiles) my dear hobbit
Frodo sits up and clutches his left breast
FRODO: | (blinks) What happened Gandalf ?
Gandalf looks at him quizzically
FRODO: | Why didn't you meet us ?
GANDALF: | (looking into the distance) Oh, I'm sorry Frodo (he sighs) I was delayed
Gandalf is shown being thrown to the ground on the roof top of Isengard. Saruman walks up to him, pointing his staff at him
SARUMAN: | The friendship of Sauron is not lightly thrown aside
Saruman uses his staff to throw Gandalf across the rooftop, and leave him lying in midair off the edge of the roof
SARUMAN: | One ill turn deserves another (walking over to Gandalf) it is over
Gandalf sees a moth fly past his face
SARUMAN: | Embrace the power of the Ring, or embrace your own destruction (he lifts his staff and throws Gandalf face first back onto the roof top)
GANDALF: | There is only Lord of the Ring (he looks up at Saruman) Only one who can bend it to his will (he sees the moth fly behind Saruman, followed by an eagle) and he does not share power (he scrambles to his feet and jumps from the roof top)
Saruman walks to the edge of the roof to see Gandalf on the back of the eagle flying off.
SARUMAN: | So you have chosen death
The eagle flies off over the Misty Mountains as dawn rises
Scene 23 ~ Many Meetings
Back in Rivendell Frodo is still look quizzically at Gandalf
FRODO: | Gandalf ? What is it ?
GANDALF: | (wakes from his daydream memory) hmm (he shakes his head and speaks unconvincingly) Nothing Frodo
SAM: | Frodo! (he comes running in and takes Frodo's hand) Frodo!
FRODO: | Sam!
SAM: | Bless you, you're awake (Frodo laughs)
GANDALF: | (smiling) Sam has hardly left your side
SAM: | (sitting on the bed) We were that worried about you, weren't we Mr Gandalf ?
GANDALF: | by the skills of Lord Elrond (he turns his head as Elrond enters the room) you're beginning to mend
ELROND: | Welcome to Rivendell Frodo Baggins
An elf on a horse can be seen riding into Rivendell from afar. We see Rivendell in the depths of a valley. Frodo walks out onto his balcony and looks out on Rivendell. He walks around with Sam and suddenly comes across Merry and Pippin who run to him and they hug, laughing. He suddenly pauses as he sees a smal figure sitting on a bench writing in a book, it is Bilbo, very much aged
FRODO: | (runs over to him) Bilbo!
BILBO: | (stands up) Hello Frodo my lad
FRODO: | (runs up and hugs him) Bilbo
Frodo opens up Bilbo's book and sees the title written there
FRODO: | "There and Back Again... A Hobbits Tale" by Bilbo Baggins (he flicks through the pages looking at the maps and drawings and scribing) This is wonderful
BILBO: | I meant to go back. Wander the paths of Mirkwood, (he walks over to sit beside Frodo) visit Laketown, see the Lonely Mountain again (sitting down) but age it seems has finally caught up with me
Frodo continues to turn the pages until he reaches the map of the Shire. Bilbo smiles at him, they look at it together
FRODO: | I miss the Shire. I spent all my childhood pretending I was off somewhere else... off with you on one of your adventures......(pauses thinking) My own adventure turned out to be quite different (they turn to look at each other) I'm not like you Bilbo
BILBO: | (half smiles and reaches a hand to Frodo's face) My dear boy
Sam can be seen packing his backpack
SAM: | Now what have I forgotten
Frodo walks up to him
FRODO: | Packed already ?
SAM: | (stands up startled) No harm in being prepared
FRODO: | I thought you wanted to see the elves Sam (he walks away)
SAM: | I do
FRODO: | More than anything
SAM: | I did. Its just (he looks around to see who's listening and walks over to Frodo) We did what Gandalf wanted didn't we ? We got the Ring this far to Rivendell and I thought... seeing as how you're on the mend, we'd be off soon ..... off home
FRODO: | You're right Sam (he turns to face him) We did what we set out to do (He takes the Ring out of his pocket and holds it out) the Ring will be safe in Rivendell. I am ready to go home
Scene 24 ~ The Fate of the Ring
Elrond and Gandalf are looking down at Frodo and Sam from a balcony
ELROND: | His strength returns
GANDALF: | That wound will never fully heal, he will carry it for the rest of his life (he looks at Elrond)
ELROND: | And yet to come so far, still bearing the Ring, the hobbit has shown extraordinary resilience to its evil (he walks over to a carafe of wine)
GANDALF: | It is a burden he should never have had to bear. (shaking his head) we can ask no more of Frodo
ELROND: | (turning to look at Gandalf, speaks seriously) Gandalf! The enemy is moving Sauron's forces are massing in the east, his eye is fixed on Rivendell ..... and Saruman you tell me has betrayed us... (Gandalf looks away folorn) Our list of allies grows thin!
GANDALF: | His treachery runs deeper than you know. (Elrond looks at him frowning) By foul craft Saruman has crossed orcs with goblin men, he is breeding an army in the caverns of Isengard. An army that can move in sunlight and gather great distance at speed. Saruman is coming for the Ring.
ELROND: | This evil cannot be concealed by the power of the elves. We do not have the strength to fight both Mordor and Isengard (Gandalf walks away from him) Gandalf! the Ring cannot stay here
Gandalf looks folorn. He leans on the balcony and looks out. He sees Boromir riding into Rivendell, then Legolas and Gimli walking.. all look in wonder at this place
ELROND VOICEOVER: | This peril belongs to all in Middle Earth they must decide now how to end.
ELROND: | The time of the elves is over. My people are leaving these
shores. Who will you look to when we've gone ? The dwarves ? They hide in their mountains seaking riches, they care nothing for the troubles of others
GANDALF: | (turning to him) It is in men we must place our hope
ELROND: | Men! (turning away) Men are weak (he walks through his library Gandalf follows) the race of men is failing. The blood of Numenor is all but spent, its pride and dignity all but forgotten. It is because of men the Ring survives. I was there Gandalf (we see Elrond fighting in the Battle of the Last Alliance) I was there three thousand years ago (Elrond watches as Isildur cuts the Ring from Sauron's hand) when Isildur took the Ring. I was there the day the strength of men failed (Isildur looks at the Ring he has just cut) Isildur hurry, follow me (Elrond in the battle appears before Isildur) I led Isildur into the heart of Mount Doom (Elrond appears in Mount Doom, with Isildur behind him, he beckons to Isildur He speaks to Isildur) Come!
ELROND VOICEOVER: | Where the Ring was forged. The one place it could be destroyed (Elrond looks at Isildur)
ELROND: | (to Isildur) Cast it into the fire
Isildur holds the Ring up and rolls it in his fingers
ELROND: | Destroy it!
ISILDUR: | No (he turns and walks out of Mount Doom)
ELROND: | Isildur!
