Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
[Denethor pours oil over himself and a rousing Faramir.]


Denethor: "Set a fire in our flesh!"

[Soldiers, with lit torches, approach Denethor.]


[Gandalf bursts through the mausoleum door.]


Gandalf: "Stay this madness!"

[The guards stop, but Denethor grabs a torch.]

Denethor: "You may triumph in the field of battle for a day, but against the power that has risen in the east, there is no victory."


[Denethor tosses the torch on the pyre. As the fire lights, Gandalf takes up a spear and charges Denethor, knocking him off the pyre.]


[Pippin leaps from Shadowfax onto the pyre and rolls Faramir down off it.]



[A burning Denethor rises and attacks Pippin.]
Denethor: "No! You will not take my son from me!"



[Shadowfax knocks Denethor onto the burning pyre.]



[Faramir opens his eyes and looks at his father.]


Denethor: "Faramir… my son. Ah!"
[Engulfed in flames, Denethor runs out of the mausoleum.]


Gandalf: "So passes Denethor, son of Ecthelion."

[Denethor falls from the edge of Minas Tirith.]


[On Pelennor Fields, the Rohirrim are routing the orcs.]



Éomer: "Drive them back to the river!"

Théoden: "Make safe this city!"
[As the Rohirrim drive away the Orcs, giant war Oliphaunts (Mûmakil) come into view.]




[Haradrim, mounted on the Mûmakil, blow horns.]


[The Mûmakil run past the retreating Orcs.]



[The King of Rohan does not hesitate.]

Théoden: "Reform the line! Reform the line! Sound the charge!"

[Gamling blows his horn.]


Théoden: "Rohirrim! Charge!"

[The Rohirrim run headlong into the Mûmakil, which dwarf them.]



[The Oliphaunts crush many Rohirrim, although some hit the beasts with arrows and spears.]

[Haradrim shoot arrows down at the Rohirrim.]

[Oliphaunts trample some of the Rohirrim.]

[Gamling rides under a Mûmakil, shooting arrows into it's belly.]

[Éomer twirls his spear and hurls it at one of the Haradrim captains.]




[The Oliphaunt staggers and falls into another Mûmakil.]


[Éowyn and Merry ride between the legs of the beasts.]

Éowyn (to Merry): "Take the reins. Pull it left! Left!"


[Éowyn slices open the legs of an Oliphaunt, felling it.]




Éomer: "Aim for the head!"



Gamling: "Make for the oliphaunts!"

[One of the oliphaunts is riddled with spears.]
Théoden: "Bring it down! Bring it down! Bring it down!"


[Éowyn throws a spear that lands in a oliphaunt's leg. The wounded beast falls and knocks Éowyn and Merry off their horse.]

[Éowyn scrambles out of the way to avoid being crushed. She looks around franticly.]
Éowyn: "Merry!"

[Théoden fights off Orcs. Éowyn fights off several of them.]


[Théoden looks at her with possible recognition.]

[Merry emerges and is attacked. He fights off several Orcs, including one who picks him up.]

[Éowyn exchanges blows with Gothmog.]
