指环王2：双塔奇兵The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Movie Script

Leave the dead.

[Legolas turns to Théoden, an expression of perplexed anger on his face.] THÉODEN [Puts a hand on Legolas' shoulder] Come.

[He leaves Legolas and Gimli to stare down at the river.] [The Rohan villagers are drawing close to Helm’s Deep. Cries of relief are heard as the refuge is within sight.]

REFUGEES:

Helm’s Deep! At last! There it is!

OLD WOMAN:

[To Éowyn] We’re safe, my lady! Thank you!

[Éowyn embraces the woman and they walk on towards Helm’s Deep. The gate is opened for the villagers. Many have already taken refuge within and are resting along the passage. Éothain and Freda run towards their mother.]

FREDA:

Mama!

MORWEN:

Éothain! Freda!

[The three hug and cry with joy. Théoden and company returns from the battle with warg riders]

GAMLING:

Make way for Théoden!

SOLDIERS:

Sire!

GAMLING:

Make way for the king!

[Éowyn rushes down to meet them] ÉOWYN [Looking about] So few. So few of you have returned.

THÉODEN [Dismounting] Our people are safe. We have paid for it with many lives.

GIMLI:

[Going up to Éowyn] My lady... ÉOWYN Lord Aragorn, where is he?

GIMLI:

He fell... [Éowyn is shaken and raises teary eyes to Théoden. The latter looks down and then walks away, confirming her unasked question.] [At the battlements] THÉODEN Draw all our forces behind the wall.

Bar the gate, and set a watch on the surround.

GAMLING:

What of those who cannot fight, my lord?

The women and children?

THÉODEN Get them into the caves. [Walks down the steps and past a sewer gate] Saruman's arm would have grown long indeed if he thinks he can reach us here.

[Camera zooms in on the gate] GRÍMA (V.O.) Helm’s Deep has one weakness. Its outer wall is solid rock but for a small culvert at its base which is little more than a drain.

[Camera turns to Gríma and Saruman at Orthanc. Saruman is pouring some dark dry substances into a vessel. Gríma is holding a lit candle in his hand.] GRÍMA How? How can fire undo stone? What kind of device could bring down the wall?

[As he steps closer to the vessel, Saruman takes hold of Gríma’s hand and pushes the candle away from the vessel firmly.]

SARUMAN:

If the wall is breached, Helm's Deep will fall.

[He walks away towards the balcony.] GRÍMA [Following Saruman] Even if it is breached, it would take a number beyond reckoning, thousands to storm the keep.
