15. Minas Morgul
[Sam, Frodo, and Gollum approach Minas Morgul.]
Gollum: "The Dead City… very nasty place… full of… enemies."
[Gollum leads them to the side of the road.]
Gollum: "Quick! Quick! They will see! They will see! Come away! Come away!"
[Gollum points out a long, steep staircase, set into the rock.]
Gollum: "Look! We have found it, the way into Mordor. The Secret Stairs! Climb! "
[Frodo wanders towards the dead city, past a pair of gargoyles.]
Sam: "No! Mister Frodo!"
Gollum: "Not that way! What's it doing?"
Sam: "No!"
Frodo: "They're calling me."
[As Sam and Gollum pull Frodo to the stairs, the middle of the city erupts with a bright blue-green light.]
[The sight is visible to the inhabitants of Minas Tirith.]
[Gandalf consoles Pippin.]
[An army of orcs exits the Dead City.]
[The Witch-King emerges, mounted on a flying beast.]
[Frodo sees the Witch-King, and grabs his shoulder in pain.]
Frodo: "I can feel his blade."
[An orc army leaves Minas Morgul.]
Gandalf: "We come to it at last, the great battle of our time."
Gollum: "Hurry, hobbits! We climb! We must climb!"
Gandalf: "The board is set. The pieces are moving."
