Synopsis: Bilbo Baggins is swept into a quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever ... Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities ...

Yet golden treasure inside is hid

Box.

Oh, um...

Box. The lid and a key.

- Well?

- It's nasty.

- Box. Key.

- Do you give up?

Give us a chance, precious!

Give us a chance!

Eggses!

Eggses!

Wet, crunchy little eggses. Yes.

Grandmother taught us

to suck them, yes!

We have one for you.

All things it devours

Birds, beasts, trees, flowers

Gnaws iron, bites steel

Grinds hard stones to meal

Answer us.

Give me a moment, please.

I gave you a good long while.

Birds, beasts... Beasts?

Trees, flowers.

I don't know this one.

Is it tasty?

Is it scrumptious?

Is it crunchable?

Let me think.

Let me think.

It's stuck.

Bagginses is stuck.

Time's up.

Time.

The answer is time.

Actually it wasn't that hard.

Last question.

Last chance.

Okay.

Ask us.

- Ask us!

- Yes, yes. All right.

What have I got in my pocket?

That's no fair.

It's not fair! It's against the rules!

Now ask us another one.

No. No, no, no.

You said ask me a question.

Well, that is my question.

What have I got in my pocket?

Three guesses, precious.

It must give us three!

Three guesses. Very well, guess away.

Handses!

Wrong. Guess again.

Fishbones, Goblins' teeth,

wet shells, bats' wings...

Knife! Oh, shut up!

Wrong again. Last guess.

String. Or nothing.

Two guesses at once.

Wrong both times.

So...

Come, then. I won the game.

You promised to show me the way out.

Did we say so, precious?

Did we say so?

What has it got in its pocketses?

That's no concern of yours.

You lost.

Lost?

Lost?

Lost?

Where is it?

Where is it?!

No!

Where is it?!

No! No!

Lost!

Curse us and splash us!

My precious is lost!

- What have you lost?

- Mustn't ask us! Not its business!

No!

Gollum, gollum!

What has it got...

...in its nasty...

little pocketses?

He stole it.

He stole it!

He stole it!

Bones will be shattered

Necks will be wrung

You'll be beaten and battered

From racks you'll be hung

You will die down here

And never he found

Down in the deep of Goblin-town

I know that sword!

It is the Goblin-cleaver!

The Biter!

The blade that sliced 1000 necks!

Slash them! Beat them! Kill them!

Kill them all!

Cut off his head!

Take up arms.

Fight.

Fight!

He wields the Foehammer! The Beater!

Bright as daylight!

Thorin!

Follow me. Quick!

Run!

Give it to us!

It's ours.

It's ours!

Thief!

Baggins!

Quickly!

Faster!

Post!

Charge!

Cut the ropes!

Come on, quickly!

- Come on, move!

- Bombur!

Go, go, go!

Jump!

Jump, lad!

Come on!

Push!

Come on!

Come on!

- Watch your backs!

- You thought you could escape me.

What are you going to do now, Wizard?

That'll do it.

Well, that could have been worse.

Haver!

You've got to be joking!

Gandalf!

There's too many. We can't fight them.

Only one thing will save us, daylight!

Come on! Here! On your feet.

- Balin.

- Come on!

Wait!

My precious. Wait!

Gollum, gollum!

Quick, quick!

This way.

- Come on.

- Come on, come on. Quickly.

Right, good!

Baggins!

Thief!

Curse it and crush it!

We hates it forever!

Five, six, seven, eight.

Bifur. Bofur. That's 10.

Fili, Kili! That's 12.

And Bombur. That makes 13.

Where's Bilbo?

Where is our Hobbit?

Where is our Hobbit?

Curse that Halfling! Now he's lost?

I thought he was with Dori!

- Don't blame me!

- Well, where did you last see him?

I think I saw him slip away

when they first collared us.

And what happened, exactly?

- Tell me!

- I'll tell you what happened.

Master Baggins saw his chance

and he took it.

He has thought of nothing

but his soft bed and his warm hearth...

...since first he stepped out of his door.

We will not be seeing our Hobbit again.

He is long gone.

No. He isn't.

Bilbo Baggins.

I have never been so glad

to see anyone in my life.

Bilbo. We'd given you up.

How on earth

did you get past the Goblins?

How, indeed.

Well, what does it matter? He's back.

It matters. I want to know.

Why did you come back?

Look, I know you doubt me.

I know you always have.

And you're right, I often think of Bag-end.

I miss my books.

And my armchair and my garden.

See, that's where I belong.

That's home.

And that's why I came back. Because...

...you don't have one. A home.

It was taken from you.

But I will help you take it back if I can.

Out of the frying pan.

And into the fire. Run.

Run!

Go!

Up into the trees!

All of you! Come on, climb! Bilbo, climb!

Quickly!

They're coming!

- Hang on!

- Hold on, brothers!

Azog.

It cannot be.

It's going!

Fili!

Yeah!

No!

Oh, no.

Mr. Gandalf!

Oh, no, Dori!

Help!

No!

Thorin! No!

Look.

Thorin!

Thorin!

Thorin.

The Halfling?

It's all right.

Bilbo is here. He's quite safe.

You!

What were you doing?

You nearly got yourself killed!

Did I not say that

you would be a burden?

That you would not survive in the Wild?

That you had no place amongst us?

I have never been so wrong in all my life.

But I'm sorry I doubted you.

No, I would have doubted me too.

I'm not a hero or a warrior.

Not even a burglar.

Is that what I think it is?

Erebor...

...the Lonely Mountain...

...the last of the great Dwarf kingdoms

of Middle-earth.

Our home.

A raven!

The birds are returning to the mountain.

That, my dear Oin, is a thrush.

But we'll take it as a sign.

- A good omen.

- You're right.

I do believe the worst is behind us.

Far over the misty mountains rise

Leave us standing upon the height

What was before

We see once more

Is our kingdom a distant light

Fiery mountain beneath the moon

The words unspoken, we'll be there soon

For home a song

That echoes on

And all who find us will know the tune

Some folk we never forget

Some kind we never forgive

Haven't seen the back of us yet

We'll fight as long as we live

All eyes on the hidden door

To the Lonely Mountain borne

We'll ride in the gathering storm

Until we get our long-forgotten gold

We lay under the misty mountains cold

In slumbers deep

And dreams of gold

We must awake

Our lives to make

And in the darkness a torch we hold

From long ago when lanterns burned

Until this day

Our hearts have yearned

Her fate unknown

The Arkenstone

What was stolen

Must be returned

We must awake

And make the day

To find a song for heart and soul

Some folk we never forget

Some kind we never forgive

Haven't seen the end of it yet

We'll fight as long as we live

All eyes on the hidden door

To the Lonely Mountain borne

We'll ride in the gathering storm

Till we get our long-forgotten gold

Far away from misty mountains cold
