The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Tell me...

...why is Azog...

...the Defiler hunting you?

You know of Azog?

How?

My people were the first to live

in the mountains...

...before the Orcs came down

from the North.

The Defiler killed most of my family.

But some he...

...enslaved.

Not for work, you understand...

...but for sport.

Caging skin-changers...

...and torturing them

seemed to amuse him.

There are others like you?

Once there were many.

And now?

Now there is only one.

You need to reach...

...the mountain before

the last days of autumn.

Before Durin's Day falls.

Yes.

You are running out of time.

Which is why we must

go through Mirkwood.

A darkness lies upon that forest.

Fell things creep beneath those trees.

There is an alliance

between the Orcs of Moria...

...and the Necromancer in Dol Guldur.

I would not venture there...

...except in great need.

We will take the Elven Road.

That path is still safe.

"Safe"?

The Wood Elves of Mirkwood...

...are not like their kin.

They're less wise...

...and more dangerous.

But it matters not.

What do you mean?

These lands are crawling with Orcs.

Their numbers are growing.

And you are on foot.

You will never reach...

...the forest alive.

I don't like Dwarves.

They're greedy...

...and blind.

Blind to the lives of those they deem...

...lesser than their own.

But Orcs I hate more.

What do you need?

Go now. While you have the light.

Your hunters are not far behind.

The Elven Gate.

Here lies our path...

...through Mirkwood.

No sign of the Orcs.

We have luck on our side.

Set the ponies loose.

Let them return to their master.

This forest...

...feels...

...sick.

As if a disease lies upon it.

Is there no way around?

Not unless we go 200 miles north.

Or twice that distance...
