Sam moving up towards the tower. He can hear the Orcs fighting. Sam creeps up to the tower entrance. All the Orcs seem to be dead. He starts to run through the tower looking about him with Sting and his own sword, one in each hand. He runs up the stairs to the higher levels. He sees some Orcs coming so he begins to roar at them to pluck up his courage. His shadow looks huge on the wall. When he emerges from the stairwell the Orcs see he is only small and move to attack him. But Sam is too quick. He stabs the first one.
SAM: That's for Frodo!
He approaches the second one and stabs him knocking him off the stairs.
SAM: And the Shire!
He pushes the third one over the edge of the stairs and shouts after him.
SAM: And that's for my old gaffer!
Sam continues on up the stairs. We see Gorbag escaping with Frodo's mithril shirt.
The scene changes to show Frodo in the top of the tower. He is struggling with his bonds to try to escape. Shagrat appears behind him.
SHAGRAT: Stop your squealing you dunghill rat!
He pulls out a knife.
SHAGRAT: I'm gonna bleed you like a stuck pig!
He cries out suddenly and a blue blade sticks out through his chest. Sam appears behind him.
SAM: Not if I stick you first!
FRODO: Sam!
Sam pushes Shagrat off his sword. He drops the sword and kneels down in front of Frodo.
FRODO: Oh Sam, I'm so sorry. Sorry for everything.
Sam smiles at him.
SAM: Lets get you out of here. (He starts to help Frodo get the ropes off his hands.)
FRODO: Its too late. Its over. They've taken it Sam, they took the Ring! (He sits up and looks at Sam.)
SAM: Begging your pardon but they haven't.
Sam stands up. He pulls the Ring out of his pocket and holds it out on its chain in front of Frodo.
SAM: I thought I'd lost you. So I took it, only for safekeeping. (He offers Frodo the Ring on the chain.)
FRODO: Give it to me! (As Frodo reaches for the Ring Sam pulls it back.) Give me the Ring Sam. (Sam looks strange when Frodo speaks to him he sounds far away.) Sam! Give me the Ring. (Sam continues to struggle, but he offers the Ring to Frodo who snatches it from him. Frodo puts it back around his neck.) You must understand. The Ring is my burden. It will destroy you Sam.
Frodo holds onto the wall to steady himself. Sam stands watching him a suspicious expression on his face.
SAM: Come on Mr Frodo. We'd best find you some clothes. You can't go walking through Mordor in nowt but your skin.
The scene changes to show Frodo and Sam leaving the tower fully clothed in disguise as Orcs. They stand and survey the scene below them. They can see Mount Orodruin and the Tower of Barad D'r. But between they can see many, many campfires of the enemy soldiers. There are thousands of them between them and the mountain.
SAM: We did it Mr Frodo. We made it to Mordor.
FRODO: There are so many of them. We'll never get through unseen.
Frodo sees the Eye of Sauron surveying the soldiers from the top of Barad D'r. He staggers back slightly.
FRODO: It's Him, the Eye!
The camera shows the Eye of Sauron cradled in its tower. Frodo looks at Sam.
SAM: We have to go in there Mr Frodo. There's nothing for it. (Frodo looks at him uncertain.) Come on lets just make it down the hill for starters.
