18. Osgiliath Invaded
[Faramir surveys his soldiers at Osgiliath.]
Madril: "It's been very quiet across the river. The Orcs are lying low. The garrison may have moved out. We've sent scouts to Cair Andros. If the Orcs attack from the north, we'll have some warning."
[Boats filled with armed orcs row towards Osgiliath. One of their oars makes a muffled splash.]
[A bulky orc with a deformed face commands the sailors.]
Gothmog (softly): "Quiet!"
Soldier: "We need ten more."
[From an upper wall, a Gondorian soldier sees them approach.]
Gothmog: "Kill him!"
[An Orc shoots an arrow, which pierces the soldier's armor.]
[The soldier falls down to the ground, dead, but within sight of Farmir.]
Faramir: "They're not coming from the north."
[Faramir rallies his men for the attack.]
Faramir: "To the river! Quick, quick! Come on!"
[Men gather behind pillars at the riverbank.]
Gothmog: "Faster! Draw swords!"
[As the Orcs arrive on shore, Faramir's men attack.]
Soldiers: "Fight, Fight!"
[Men and orcs do battle.]
[Orcs swarm into the city.]
