50. The Nazgûl and His Prey
[Back out on plains, Théoden gathers his remaining army.]
Théoden: "Rally to me! To me!"
[Théoden turns and sees a Nazgûl flying towards him.]
[The beast grabs Théoden's horse in its teeth and throws Théoden across the ground. Éowyn watches on in horror.]
[The Nazgûl's mount approaches a wounded Théoden, who is pinned under his slain horse.]
Witch-King (to the fellbeast): "Feast off his flesh."
[Éowyn moves between the the beast and Théoden.]
Éowyn: "I will kill you if you touch him."
Witch-King: "Do not come between the Nazgûl and his prey."
[The fell beast bites at Éowyn. Éowyn dodges the attack and decapitates the monster.]
[The Witch-King dismounts.]
[At his full height, the Witch-King looms over Éowyn.]
[The Witch-King attacks, eventually striking Éowyn's shield with his mace, shattering it.]
[Éowyn cries out and falls. The Witch-King opens his arms, taunting his foe.]
