57. The Nazgul Attack
[Osgiliath is under attack. Faramir and his prisoners enter the city.]
Madril: "Faramir, orcs have taken the eastern shore. Their numbers are too great. By nightfall we'll be overrun."
[Frodo stumbles.]
Sam: "Mister Frodo!"
Frodo: "It's calling to him, Sam. His eye is almost on me."
Sam: "Hold on, Mister Frodo."
[Sam continues speaking, but Frodo can no longer hear him.]
Faramir: "Take them to my father. Tell him, Faramir sends a mighty gift. A weapon that will change our fortunes in this war."
[Faramir turns to leave.]
Sam: "You wanna know what happened to Boromir? You wanna know why your brother died?"
Sam: "He tried to take the Ring from Frodo. After swearing an oath to protect him. He tried to kill him! The Ring drove your brother mad!"
[An offscreen voice cries "Look out!" A tower is hit with a boulder and crumbles.]
[The call from the Ring is heard again.]
Sam: "Mister Frodo?"
Frodo: "They're here. They've come."
[The cry of a Nazgûl is heard.]
Faramir: "Nazgûl!"
[A Nazgûl on a winged beast flies over Osgiliath. Frodo stares at it, as the men around him start to run.]
[Gollum is terrified. Faramir grabs the hobbits and leads them to cover.]
Faramir: "Stay here. Keep out of sight. Take cover!"
