[The scene changes to Isengard.]

[Saruman is standing in his chamber, his palm over the Palant�r.]

Saruman: "The world is changing."

[View changes to the tower of Barad-dûr, showing orcs matching across a bridge.]

Saruman: "Who now has the strength to stand against the armies of Isengard and Mordor."

Saruman: "To stand against the might of Sauron and Saruman, and the union of the Two Towers."

[On top of the tower of Barad-dûr sits the Eye of Sauron.]

Saruman: "Together, My Lord Sauron, we shall rule this Middle-Earth."

[Orcs are working in the caverns of Isengard.]

Saruman (voiceover): "The old world will burn in the fires of industry. Forests will fall. A new order will rise. We will drive the machinery of war with the sword and the spear and the iron fist of the orcs."

Saruman: "We have only to remove those who oppose us."

[Saruman surveys the pits of Isengard.]

Saruman: "I want them armed and ready to march within two weeks!"

Orc: "But my Lord, there are too many! They cannot all be armed in time, we don't have the means."

Saruman: "Build a dam, block the stream, work the furnaces night and day."

Orc: "We don't have enough fuel to feed the fires."

Saruman: "The Forest of Fangorn lies on our doorstep. Burn it."

Orc: "Yes!"

[Saruman's holds an audience in his chamber.]

Dunlending: "We will fight for you."

Saruman: "Swear it."

[Dunlending cuts his hand with a large knife. Blood drips out of his fist.]

Dunlending: "We will die for Saruman."

[Saruman is standing in the middle of a group of Wildmen, who are holding torches and weapons.]

Saruman: "The horsemen took your lands. They drove your people into the hills to scratch the living off rocks."

[The group murmurs in agreement.]

Saruman: "Take back the lands they stole from you. Burn every village!"

[The crowd roars with approval.]

Saruman (voiceover): "It will begin in Rohan. Too long have these peasants stood against you. But no more."

[The Wildmen and orcs attack a village.]

[A woman calls out to her children.]

Mother: "Èothan, Èothan! You take your sister. You'll go faster with just two."

[She puts a little girl onto the horse in front of her brother.]

Freda: "But Papa says Èothan must not ride Garold. She's too big for him!"

Mother: "Listen to me! You must ride to Edoras and raise the alarm. Do you understand me?!"

Èothan: "Yes mama!"

Freda (crying): "I don't want to leave! I don't wanna go!"

Mother: "Listen to me. I will find you there."

Mother: "Quickly!"

[She looks as her children ride away.]

Mother: "Go child!"

[The army sets fire to the village. Èothan and Freda look back from a distance.]

Saruman (voiceover): "Rohan, my lord, is ready to fall."
