Boromir is lying with his back to a tree, pierced by many orc arrows. He hastens down the hill toward the sound of the horn, but when he arrives at a glade down the slope of the hill, he finds he is too late. Suddenly, he hears the blast of Boromir’s horn sounding an alarm. He finds Frodo’s tracks heading down the hill from the high seat atop the mountain, and decides to sit in the seat before following Frodo’s tracks, but he can see nothing useful from the throne. In a chapter entitled “The Departure of Boromir,” book 3 begins where book 2 left off, with Aragorn still searching for Frodo as he climbs Amon Hen.

Did he indeed? Good. Do not regret your decision to leave him. Everything depends now upon speed and upon the secrecy of his quest. Each day brings it closer to the fires of Mount Doom. And so the weapon of the Enemy is moving towards Mordor in the hands of a Hobbit. And that we should seek to destroy it has not yet entered their darkest dreams. But, for all their cunning, we have one advantage. Sauron and Saruman are tightening the noose. His hold over King Theoden is now very strong. The King's mind is inslaved, it's an old device of Saruman's. Rohan must defend itself, and therein lies our first challenge, for Rohan is weak and ready to fall. He will use his puppet Saruman to destroy Rohan. And so he will strike hard and fast at the world of Men. But he is not so mighty yet that he is above fear. From the summit of Barad-dur his eye watches ceaselessly. The veiling shadow that glowers in the East takes shape. and away he goes! Gone, gone, gone! Smeagol is free! Master looks after us now, we don't need you anymore. Where would you be without me? Gollum! Gollum saved us! It was me! We survived because of me! You don't have any friends, nobody likes you!

Curse them! WE hates them! it's ours it is, and we wants it! We wants it, we needs it. They're thieves! They're thieves! They're filthy little thieves! Where is it? Where is it? They stole it from us, our precious. Other highlights include audio clips of Tolkien reading from The Two Towers (who could do it better?), making this a worthy appreciation of Tolkien's timeless literary legacy. Preeminent Tolkien authority Michael Stanton and historian David Doughan provide astute analysis, complemented by the popular artwork (also compiled in a separate gallery) of veteran Tolkien illustrators the brothers Hildebrandt. Host Grant McTavish may seem a bit too solemn, but the program is so densely informative that any quibbles (such as occasional redundancy) are easily forgiven. What follows is a thorough survey of the second volume of The Lord of the Rings, spanning every aspect of The Two Towers, from geography (via computer-animated maps of Middle-earth), language, dominant themes, cultures and races, character development, and literary influence. Perfect for home or classroom viewing, this hour-long, British-made program begins enticingly with archival film of Tolkien describing his serendipitous creation of The Hobbit. Like the previously released DVD Master of the Rings, Secrets of Middle-Earth: Inside Tolkien's 'The Two Towers' delivers all that it promises and more.
