The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Page #6

...don't waken it.

Where is your master?

Where is he?!

Sauron!

Hello?

He's not at home.

Not at home. Ahem.

Good.

Good, good, good.

What's that?

Shush. Shush.

Arkenstone.

Arkenstone.

A large, white jewel.

Very helpful.

Well...

...thief.

I smell you.

I hear your breath.

I feel...

...your air.

Where are you?

Where are you?

Come, now...

...don't be shy.

Step into the light.

Hmm.

There is something about you.

Something you...

...carry.

Something made of gold.

But far more...

...precious.

Precious! Precious!

There you are...

...Thief in the...

...Shadows.

I did not come to steal from you...

...O Smaug...

...the Unassessably Wealthy.

I merely wanted...

...to gaze upon your magnificence.

To see...

...if you really were as great

as the old tales say.

I did not believe them.

And do you now?!

Truly...

...the tales and songs...

...fall utterly short of your enormity...

...O Smaug the Stupendous.

Do you think flattery will keep you alive?

No, no.

No, indeed.

You seem familiar with my name...

...but I don't remember smelling

your kind before.

Who are you...

...and where do you come from...

...may I ask?

I come from under the hill.

Underhill?

And under hills...

...and over hills my path has led.

And... And...

...through the air.

I am he who walks unseen.

Impressive.

What else do you claim to be?

I am...

Luck-wearer.

Riddle-maker.

Lovely titles.

Go on.

Barrel-rider.

Barrels? Now that is interesting.

And what about...

...your little Dwarf friends?

Where are they hiding?

Dwarves?

No.

No, no. No Dwarves here.

You've got that all wrong.

Oh, I don't think so, Barrel-rider!

They sent you in here...

...to do their dirty work while they...

...skulk about outside.

Truly...

...you are mistaken...

...O Smaug, Chiefest

and Greatest of Calamities.

You have nice manners...

...for a thief and...

...a liar!

I know the smell and taste of Dwarf.

No one better!

It is the gold!

They are drawn...

...to treasure like...

...flies to dead flesh.

Did you think I did not know...

...this day would come?!

That a pack of...

...canting Dwarves...

...would come crawling back...

...to the mountain?!

Was that an earthquake?

That, my lad...

...was a dragon.

Da?

It's coming from the mountain.

You should leave us.

Take your children.

Get out of here.

And go where?

There is nowhere to go.

Are we going to die, Da?

No, darling.

The dragon.

It's going to kill us.

Not if I kill it first.

The King Under the Mountain is dead.

I took his throne.

I ate his...

...people like a wolf among sheep.

I kill where...

...I wish, when...

...I wish.

My armor is iron.

No blade can pierce me.

All right.

A Black Arrow? Why did you never tell me?

Because you did not need to know.

Listen to me carefully.

I need you to distract the guards.

Once I'm at the top of...

...the tower, I'll set

the arrow to the bow.

There he is!

Bard!

- After him!

- Quickly! Down there. Go!

Stop him!

Stop him!

Stop!

Bain! Bain.

Keep it safe. Don't let anyone find it.

I'll deal with them.

- I'm not leaving you.

- Now go!

Braga.

You're under arrest.

- On what charge?

- Any charge the Master chooses.

Where's he gone?

What about Bilbo?

Give him more time.

Time to do what? To be killed?

You're afraid.

Yes, I'm afraid.

I fear for you.

A sickness lies upon that treasure hoard.

A sickness which drove...

...your grandfather mad.

I am not my grandfather.

You're not yourself.

The Thorin I know would not hesitate

to go in there...

I will not risk...

...this quest for the life of one burglar.

Bilbo.

His name is Bilbo.

It's Oakenshield...

...that filthy Dwarvish usurper.

He sent you in here...

...for the Arkenstone, didn't he?

No. No...

...no. I don't know

what you're talking about.

Don't bother denying it.

I guessed his foul purpose

some time ago.

But it matters not.

Oakenshield's quest will fail.

The darkness is coming.

It will spread to every corner of the land.

You are being used, Thief...

...in the Shadows.

You were only...

...ever a means to an end.

The coward...

...Oakenshield has weighed...

...the value of your life...

...and found it worth nothing.

No.

No.

No, you're lying.

What did he promise you?

A share of the treasure?

As if it was his...

...to give.

I will not part with...

...a single coin.

Not one piece of it.

My teeth...

...are swords.

My claws are spears.

My wings...

...are a hurricane.

So it is true.

The Black Arrow found its mark.

What did you say?

I was just saying your reputation

precedes you, O Smaug...

...the Tyrannical.

Truly.

You have no equal on this earth.

I am...

...almost tempted to let you take it.

If only to see Oakenshield...

...suffer.

Watch it...

...destroy him.

Watch it corrupt his heart...

...and drive him mad.

But I think not.

I think our little game ends here.

So tell me...

...thief...

...how do you choose to die?

Nah.

Da? Is that you, Da?

- Aah!

- Stay down!

Get down!

You killed them all.

There are others.

Tauriel.

Come.

We're losing him.

Tauriel.

Athelas.

Athelas.

What are you doing?

I'm going to save him.

- You're alive!

- Not for much longer.

- Did you find the Arkenstone? The Arkenstone.

- The dragon's coming.

Did you find it?

We have to get out.

Thorin.

Thorin.

You will burn!

- Run!

- Ah!

Come on, Bilbo!

Come on.

Hold him down.

Unh! Tilda.

Shh, shh, shh!

We've given him the slip.

No.

He's too cunning for that.

So where to now?

The western guardroom.

There may be a way out.

It's too high. There's no chance...

- ...that way.

- It's our only chance.

We have to try.

Come on.

I've heard tell of

the wonders of Elvish medicine.

That was a privilege to witness.

Tauriel.

Lie still.

You cannot be her.

She is far away.

She is far...

...far away from me.

She walks...

...in starlight in another world.

It was just a dream.

Do you think she could've loved me?

Stay close.

That's it, then.

There's no way out.

The last of our kin.

They must have come here...

...hoping...

...beyond hope.

We could try to reach the mines.

We might last a few days.

No.

I will not die like this.

Cowering.

Clawing for breath.

We make for the forges.

He'll see us, sure as death.

Not if we split up.

Thorin...

...we'll never make it.

Some of us might.

Lead him to the forges.

We kill the dragon.

If this is to end in fire...

...then we will all burn together.

This way.

Flee.

Flee.

Run for your lives.

There is...

...nowhere to hide.

Behind you!

Worm!

Come on!

Run!

Hey, you!

Here!

This way. It's this way!

Come on!

Thorin!

Follow Balin!

- Thorin.

- Come on!

Thorin!

Hold on!

Thorin!

Go. Go!

The plan's not gonna work.

These furnaces are stone cold.

He's right. We've no...

...fire hot enough to set them ablaze.

Have we not?

I did not look to see you

so easily outwitted.

You have grown...

...slow and fat...

...in your dotage...

...slug!

Take cover. Go!

Bombur!
