[The women and children approach Helm's Deep.]

Villagers: "Helm's Deep!"

[The women and children enter Helm's Deep.]

Freda: "Mama!"

[The children find their mother and run to her arms.]

Mother: "Freda! Freda!"

[Èowyn surveys the food.]

Èowyn: "Where is the rest?"

Man: "This is all we could save, my lady."

Èowyn: "Take it to the caves."

[The riders return to Helm's Deep.]

Guard: "Make way for the king! Make way for Théoden. Make way for the King!"

[Èowyn hurries to meet them.]

Èowyn: "So few. So few of you have returned."

Théoden: "Our people are safe. We have paid for it with many lives."

[Gimli walks to Èowyn.]

Gimli: "My lady…"

Èowyn: "Lord Aragorn, where is he?"

Gimli: "He fell…"

[Èowyn is shocked and looks at Théoden in disbelief.]

Théoden: "Draw all our forces behind the wall. Bar the gate, and set a watch on the surround."

Guard: "What of those who cannot fight my lord? The women and children?"

Théoden: "Get them into the caves. Saruman's arm would have grown long indeed if he thinks he can reach us here."
