The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Page #5

What is the meaning of this?

- We caught them stealing weapons, sire.

- Ah.

Enemies of the state, eh?

A desperate bunch of...

...mercenaries, if ever there was, sire.

Hold your tongue!

You do not know to whom you speak.

This is no common criminal.

This is Thorin...

...son of Thrain, son of Thror!

We are the Dwarves of Erebor.

We have come to reclaim our homeland.

I remember this town

in the great days of old.

Fleets of boats lay at harbor...

...filled with silks and fine gems.

This was no forsaken town on a lake.

This was the center of all trade

in the North!

I would...

...see those days return.

I would relight the great forges

of the Dwarves...

...and send wealth and riches...

...flowing once more

from the Halls of Erebor!

Death!

That is what you will...

...bring upon us!

Dragon fire and ruin.

If you waken that beast...

...it will destroy us all.

You can listen to this naysayer...

...but I promise you this:

If we succeed...

...all will share in the wealth

of the mountain.

You will have enough gold

to rebuild Esgaroth...

...10 times over!

All of you!

Listen to me!

You must listen!

Have you forgotten

what happened to Dale?

Have you forgotten those...

...who died in the firestorm?!

And for what purpose?

The blind ambition of a Mountain King...

...so riven by greed, he could not...

...see beyond his own desire!

Now, now!

We must not, any of us...

...be too quick to lay blame.

Let us...

...not forget that it was...

...Girion, Lord of Dale...

...your ancestor...

...who failed to kill the beast!

It's true, sire.

We all know the story.

Arrow after arrow, he shot.

Each one missing its mark.

You have no right.

No right to enter that mountain.

I have the only right.

I speak to the Master...

...of the Men of the Lake.

Will you see the prophecy fulfilled?

Will you...

...share in the great wealth

of our people?

What say you?

I say unto you...

Welcome!

Welcome!

And thrice...

...welcome...

...King Under the Mountain!

You do know we're one short.

Where's Bofur?

- If he's not here, we leave him behind.

- We'll have to.

If we're to find the door before...

...nightfall, we can risk no more delays.

Not you.

We must travel at speed.

You will slow us down.

What are you talking about?

I'm coming with you.

Not now.

I'm going to be there

when that door is opened.

When we first look upon

the Halls of our Fathers, Thorin.

Kili, stay here.

Rest.

Join us when you're healed.

I'll stay with the lad.

My duty lies with the wounded.

Uncle.

We grew up on tales of the mountain.

Tales you told us.

You cannot take that away...

- ...from him!

- Fili.

I will carry him if I must!

One day you will be king

and you will understand.

I cannot risk the fate of this quest

for the sake of one Dwarf.

Not even my own kin.

Fili, don't be a fool.

You belong with the company.

I belong with my brother.

By my beard, is that the time?! Ah!

Go now with our goodwill...

...and good wishes.

- And may your return bring good fortune...

- Wait!

...to all!

Goodbye.

Out of the way!

No! No!

Ha. So you missed the boat as well?

Kili? Kili!

No.

I'm done with Dwarves. Go away.

No, no...

...no! Please!

No one will help us. Kili's sick.

He's very sick.

What is this place?

It was once the city of Dale.

Now it is a ruin.

The desolation of Smaug.

The sun will soon reach midday.

We must find the hidden door

into the mountain before it sets.

This way.

Wait. Is this the overlook?

Gandalf said to meet him here.

- On no account were we to...

- Do you see him?

We have no time...

...to wait upon the Wizard.

We're on our own. Come!

Dol Guldur.

The Hill of Sorcery.

It looks completely abandoned.

As it is meant to.

A spell of concealment...

...lies over this place, which means...

...our Enemy is not yet ready

to reveal himself.

He has not regained his full strength.

Radagast, I need you to carry

a message to the Lady Galadriel.

Tell her we must force his hand.

What do you mean?

I'm going in alone.

On no account come after me.

Do I have your word?

Yes, yes, yes!

Wait, Gandalf!

What if it's a trap?!

Turn around and do not come back.

It's undoubtedly a trap.

Anything?

Nothing!

If the map is true...

...then the hidden door

lies directly above us.

Up here!

You have keen eyes, Master Baggins.

This must be it.

The hidden door.

Let all those who doubted us...

...rue this day!

Right, then. We have a key.

Which means that somewhere...

...there is a key-hole.

"The last light of Durin's Day...

...will shine upon...

...the key-hole."

Nori.

We're losing the light. Come on.

Be quiet! I can't

hear when you're thumping.

I can't find it.

It's not here!

It's not here!

- Break it down!

- Aye.

Come on!

Break!

It has to break.

It's no good.

The door's sealed. Can't

be opened by force.

There's a powerful magic on it.

No!

"The last light of Durin's Day...

...will shine upon the key-hole."

That is what it says.

What did we miss?

What did we miss?

Balin?

We've lost the light.

There's no more to be done.

We had but...

...one chance.

Come away, lads.

It's over.

- Wait a minute.

- We're too late.

Where are they going?

You can't give up now!

Thorin.

You can't give up now.

"Stand by the gray stone...

...when the thrush knocks."

The setting sun.

And "the last light of Durin's Day

will shine..."

The last light.

Last light.

The last light!

The key-hole!

Come back!

Come back!

It's the light of the moon! The last...

...moon of autumn! Ha, ha, ha!

Where's the key? Where's the key?

Where's the...?

It was here.

Come on, it was... It was here.

It was just...

Erebor.

Thorin.

I know these walls.

These halls.

This stone.

You remember it...

...Balin.

Chambers filled with golden light.

I remember.

"Herein lies...

...the Seventh Kingdom of...

...Durin's Folk.

May the Heart of the Mountain

unite all...

...Dwarves in defense of this home."

The Throne of the King.

Ah.

And what's that above it?

The Arkenstone.

Arkenstone.

And what's that?

That, Master Burglar...

...is why you are here.

Can you not do something?

I need herbs.

Something to bring down his fever.

I have nightshade. I have feverfew.

They're no use to me.

Do you have any kingsfoil?

No, it's a weed. We feed it to the pigs.

Pigs?

Weed.

Right.

Don't move.

You want me to find a jewel?

A large, white jewel.

Yes.

That's it? Only, I imagine

there's quite a few down there.

There is only one Arkenstone...

...and you'll know it when you see it.

Right.

In truth...

...lad...

...I do not know...

...what you will find down there.

You needn't go if you don't want to.

There's no dishonor in turning back.

No, Balin.

I promised I would do this...

...and I think I must try.

It never ceases to amaze me.

What's that?

The courage of Hobbits.

Go now...

...with as much luck as you can muster.

Oh, Bilbo?

If there is, in fact...

...a live dragon...

...down there...
