 19. The Lighting of the Beacons
[Pippin climbs to the top of the beacon at Minas Tirith, evading the guards.] 
[He reaches for a lamp hanging over it. A rope snaps, spilling oil on the wood.] 
[Pippin tosses the lit lamp onto the wood, which quickly catches fire, to the Pippin's surprise. He climbs down.] 
[As Gandalf watches, the beacon burns, as soon does another one on a nearby mountainside.] 
Gandalf: "Amon Dn." 
[Guards on watch take notice.] 
Guard: "The beacon! The beacon of Amon Dn is lit!" 
[Denethor looks out of a window and frowns.] 
Gandalf: "Hope is rekindled." 
[Signal beacons light in succession across several peaks.]
