The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Page #2

I do not know. I do not even know

what day it is.

Is there no end to this accursed forest?!

Attercop.

Look.

A tobacco pouch.

There's Dwarves in these woods.

Dwarves from the Blue Mountains,

no less.

This is exactly the same as mine.

Because it is yours. Do you understand?

We're going around in circles.

We are lost.

We are not lost. We keep heading east.

But which way is east? We've lost the sun.

I thought you were the expert.

The sun.

We have to find...

...the sun.

Up there.

We need to...

...get above the canopy.

What was that?

Enough! Quiet! All of you!

We're being watched.

I can see a lake!

And a river.

And the Lonely Mountain.

We're almost there!

Can you hear me?

I know which way to go!

Hello?

Hello.

Oh, no.

Oh, come on.

Kill them! Kill them.

Eat them now,

while their blood is running.

Their hide is tough,

but there's good juice inside.

Stick it again.

Stick it again. Finish it off.

The meat's alive and kicking!

Kill him.

Kill him now.

Let us feast.

Feast! Feast!

Feast! Feast!

Eat them alive!

Feast!

- What is it?

- What is it?

Eat them alive!

Fat and juicy.

Just a...

...little taste.

Curse it! Where is it?! Where is it?!

Here.

Ah! It stings!

It stings!

Sting.

That's a good name.

Sting.

You all right there, Bofur?

- I'm all right!

- Get it off me!

Where's Bilbo?

I'm up here!

Grab the legs!

Pull!

Pull!

Where is it? Where is it? Come on.

Where is it?

No!

No! No!

Thorin! Get them!

Come on!

Look out, brother!

Fili!

Mine.

Come on...

...keep up!

We're clear!

Do not think I won't kill you, Dwarf.

It would be my pleasure.

- Help!

- Kili!

Throw me a dagger!

Quick!

If you think I'm giving you...

...a weapon, Dwarf...

...you're mistaken!

Search them.

B'ey! Give it back! That's private!

Who is this?

- Your brother?

- That is...

...my wife!

And what is this horrid creature?

A Goblin-mutant?

That's my wee lad, Gimli.

Where did you get this?

It was given to me.

Not just a thief, but a liar as well.

Thorin, where's Bilbo?

Unh! This is not the end of it!

- Do you hear me?!

- Hey, let us out of here!

Get off me!

Aren't you going to search me?

I could have anything down my trousers.

Or nothing.

- Again!

- Leave it!

There's no way out!

This is no Orc dungeon.

These are the Halls

of the Woodland Realm.

No one leaves here

but by the king's consent.

Some may imagine

that a noble quest is at hand.

A quest to reclaim a homeland...

...and slay a dragon.

I myself suspect a more prosaic motive.

Attempted burglary.

Or something of that ilk.

You have found...

...a way in.

You seek that which would...

...bestow upon you the right to rule.

The King's Jewel.

The Arkenstone.

It is precious to you beyond measure.

I understand that.

There are gems in the mountain

that I too desire.

White gems...

...of pure starlight.

I offer you my help.

I am listening.

I will let you go...

...if you but return what is mine.

A favor for a favor.

You have my word.

One king to another.

I would not trust Thranduil...

...the great king...

...to honor his word...

...should the end of all days

be upon us!

You...

...who lack all...

...honor!

I have seen how you treat your friends.

We came to you once,

starving, homeless...

...seeking your help.

But you turned your back!

You turned away from

the suffering of my people...

...and the inferno that destroyed us.

Do not talk to me of dragon fire.

I know...

...its wrath and ruin.

I have faced...

...the great serpents of the North.

I warned your...

...grandfather of what his greed

would summon.

But he would not listen.

You are just like him.

Stay here if you will...

...and rot.

A hundred years is a mere blink...

...in the life of an Elf.

I'm patient.

I can wait.

Did he offer you a deal?

He did.

I told him he could go

sh kakhf ai-'d dr-rugnu!

Him and all his kin!

Well, that's that, then.

A deal was our only hope.

Not our only hope.

I know you're there.

Why do you linger in the shadows?

I was coming to report to you.

I thought I ordered that nest

to be destroyed not two moons past.

We cleared...

...the forest as ordered, my lord.

But more spiders keep...

...coming up from the South.

They are spawning in...

...the ruins of Dol Guldur.

If we could kill them at their source...

That fortress lies beyond our borders.

Keep our lands clear of those

foul creatures. That is your task.

And when we drive them off, what then?

Will they not spread to other lands?

Other lands are not my concern.

The fortunes of the world...

...will rise and fall.

But here in this...

...kingdom, we will endure.

Legolas said you fought well today.

He has grown very fond of you.

I assure you, my lord...

...Legolas thinks of me as

no more than a captain of the guard.

Perhaps he did once.

Now I am not so sure.

I do not think you would allow your son...

...to pledge himself to a lowly Silvan Elf.

No, you are right. I would not.

Still, he cares about you.

Do not give him hope where there is none.

The stone in your hand, what is it?

It is a talisman.

A powerful spell lies upon it.

If any but a Dwarf

reads the runes on this stone...

...they will be forever cursed.

Or not.

Depending on whether you believe

in that kind of thing. It's just a token.

A rune stone.

My mother...

...gave it to me

so I'd remember my promise.

What promise?

That I would come back to her.

She worries.

She thinks I'm reckless.

Are you?

Nah.

Sounds like quite a party...

...you're having up there.

It is Mereth e-nGilith...

...the Feast of Starlight.

All light is sacred to the Eldar.

But Wood Elves love best

the light of the stars.

I always thought it is a cold light.

Remote and far away.

It is memory...

...precious and pure.

Like your promise.

I have walked there sometimes.

Beyond the forest...

...and up into the night.

I have seen the world fall away...

...and the white light

of forever fill the air.

I saw a fire moon once.

It rose over the pass near Dunland. Huge.

Red and gold, it was. It filled the sky.

We were an escort for some merchants

from Ered Luin. They were...

...trading in silverwork for furs.

We took the Greenway south...

...keeping the mountain to our left.

And then it appeared.

This huge fire moon...

...lighting our path.

I wish I could show you the caverns.

Galion, you old rogue,

we're running out of drink.

These empty barrels should have been

sent back to Esgaroth hours ago.

The bargeman will be waiting for them.

Say what you like about our...

...ill-tempered king.

He has excellent taste in wine.

Come, Elros, try it.

I have the Dwarves...

...in my charge.

They're locked up.

Where can they go? Ha, ha.

I'll wager the sun is on the rise.

Must be nearly dawn.

We're never gonna reach

the mountain, are we?

Not stuck in here, you're not.

Bilbo!

What?

Shh! There are guards nearby!

- Ha, ha, ha.

- Close the doors.

- It'll buy us more time.

- All right, Nori.
