Look to the East

[Cut to Exterior: Hama shouts to the people of Rohan.]

Hama
By order of the king, the city must empty. We make for the refuge of Helm's Deep. Do not burden yourself with treasures. Take only what provisions you need.

Gimli:
Helm's Deep! They flee to the mountains when they should stand and fight. Who will defend them if not their king?

Aragorn:
He is only doing what he thinks is best for his people. Helm's Deep has saved them in the past.

Gandalf:
There is no way out of that of ravine. Théoden is walking into a trap. He thinks he is leading them to safety but what he'll get is a massacre. Théoden has a strong will but I fear for him. I fear for the survival of Rohan. He will need you before the end, Aragorn. The people of Rohan will need you. The defences have to hold.

Aragorn:
They will hold.

Gandalf:

[To himself]:The Grey Pilgrim. That's what they used to call me. Three hundred lives of men have I walked this earth and now, I have no time.

[To Aragorn]:With luck my search will not be in vain. Look to my coming at first light of the fifth day. At dawn, look to the East.

Aragorn:
Go.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken:
The crownless again shall be king.
