The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

I'm dying of thirst over here. Come on! Come on!

- Here you are. Thank you kindly.

Oh, watch it! Sorry, darling.

- There you are. - Thank you.

Master Stadle.

Mind if I join you?

I'll have the same.

I should introduce myself. My name is Gandalf.

Gandalf the Grey.

I know who you are.

Well, now. This is a fine chance.

What brings Thorin Oakenshield to Bree?

I received word that my father...

...had been seen wandering...

...the Wilds near Dunland.

I went looking.

I found no sign of him.

Thrain.

You're like the others.

You think he is dead.

I was not at the Battle of Moria.

No...

...but I was.

My grandfather...

...Thror...

...was slain.

No!

Father.

Stay back.

No. I will fight with you.

Azog means to kill us all.

One by one, he will destroy the line of Durin.

But by mine's life, he shall not take my son.

You will stay here.

My father led a charge towards the Dimrill Gate.

He never returned.

Father!

"Thrain is gone," they told me.

"He is one of the fallen."

But at the end of that battle, I searched amongst the slain.

To the last body.

My father was not among the dead.

Thorin, it's been a long time...

...since anything but rumor was heard...

...of Thrain.

He still lives.

I am sure of it.

The ring your grandfather wore, one of the seven...

...given the Dwarf-lords...

...many years ago...

...what became of it?

He gave it to my father before they went into battle.

So Thrain was wearing it when he...

When he went missing.

Mm.

- That's that, then. There you are.

My father came to see you...

...before the Battle of Moria.

What did you say to him?

I urged him to march upon Erebor, to rally...

...the seven armies of the Dwarves...

...to destroy the dragon and take back...

...the Lonely Mountain.

And I would say the same to you.

Take back your homeland.

This is no chance meeting, is it, Gandalf?

No.

It is not.

The Lonely Mountain troubles me...

...Thorin. That dragon has sat there long enough.

Sooner or later...

...darker minds will turn towards Erebor.

I ran into some unsavory characters...

...whilst traveling on the Greenway.

They mistook me for a vagabond.

I imagine they regretted that.

One of them was carrying a message.

It is Black Speech.

A promise of payment.

For what?

Your head.

Someone wants you dead.

Thorin, you can wait no longer. You are...

...the heir to the Throne of Durin.

Unite the armies of the Dwarves.

Together, you have the might and power...

...to retake Erebor.

Summon a meeting of the seven Dwarf families.

Demand they stand by their oath.

The seven armies swore that oath to the one who wields the King's Jewel.

The Arkenstone.

It is the only thing that will...

...unite them, and in case you have forgotten...

...that jewel was stolen by Smaug.

What if I were to help you reclaim it?

How?

The Arkenstone lies half a world away...

...buried beneath the feet of a fire-breathing dragon.

Yes, it does.

Which is why we're going to need a burglar.

How close is the pack?

Too close. A couple of leagues, no more. But that's not the worst of it.

- Have the Wargs picked up our scent? Not yet. But they will do.

- We have another problem. Did they see you?

They saw you.

No, that's not it.

What did I tell you?

Quiet as a mouse.

Excellent burglar material.

Will you listen? Will you just...

...listen?

I'm trying to tell you there is something else out there.

What form did it take?

Like a bear?

Ye... Yes, but bigger.

Much bigger.

You knew about this beast?

I say we double back.

And be run down by a pack of Orcs?

There is a house...

...it's not far from here, where we might take refuge.

Whose house?

Are they friend or foe?

Neither.

He will help us or...

...he will kill us.

What choice do we have?

None.

Come on!

This way! Quickly!

Run!

Bombur, come on!

To the house!

Run!

Come on, get inside.

Open the door!

Quickly!

Push! Push!

Dwalin!

Come on, lads!

What is...

...that?

That is our host.

His name is Beorn.

And he's a skin-changer.

Sometimes he's a huge black bear.

Sometimes he's a great strong man.

The bear is unpredictable...

...but the man can be reasoned with. However...

...he is not overfond of Dwarves.

He's leaving.

Come away from there.

It's not natural. None of it.

It's obvious. He's under some...

...dark spell.

Don't be a fool.

He's under no enchantment but his own.

All right, now get some sleep. All of you.

You'll be safe here tonight.

I hope.

[VOICE OF THE RING WHISPERING IN BLACK SPEECH]

Don't blame me!

Come on, Dori!

Well, I say we should leg it. Slip out the back way.

I'm not running from anyone, beast or no.

There is no point in arguing.

We cannot pass...

...through the Wilderland without Beorn's help.

We'll be hunted down before we ever get to the forest.

Ah, Bilbo.

There you are.

Now...

...this will require some delicate handling.

We must tread very carefully.

The last person to have startled him was torn to shreds.

I will go first and...

Uh, Bilbo?

You come with me.

- Is this a good idea? Yes.
