Third Person
Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn are fighting.
"Aragorn, pull back to the gate!" Théoden yells
"Am Marad!" Aragorn yells "Nan barad! Haldir! Nan barad!"
Haldir nods at him and calls for the others. Gimli is dragged away.
"What are you doing? Stop it!" Gimli asks
Haldir calls for his men, but he does not see an Uruk behind him and is struck. Haldir stumbles in pain, as he looks around. Behind him, another Uruk strikes Haldir at his back.
"Haldir!" Aragorn yells
Haldir falls on his knees, as Aragorn fights his way up the stairs. Haldir looks around in disbelief, and sees all the dead elves around him. Aragorn rushes to Haldir. The elf dies in Aragorn's arms. Aragorn lays Haldir down, as more Uruk-hai approach him. He jumps on one of the ladders and falls down with them.
"Brace the gate!" Gamling shouts
The gate is almost broken.
"To the gate! Draw your swords!" Théoden orders
The king, with his men, try to defend the breaking gate.
"We can't hold much longer." Gamling says
Aragorn rushes to the gate.
"Hold them!" Théoden orders
"How long do you need?" Aragorn asks
"As long as you can give me!" Théoden says
"Gimli!" Aragorn says
Aragorn and Gimli sneak around to the other side of the gate. Aragorn takes a peek at the many Uruks.
"Come on. We can take 'em!" Gimli says
"It's a long way." Aragorn tells him
Gimli glances over Aragorn.
"Toss me." Gimli says
"What?" Aragorn asks shocked and confused
"I cannot jump the distance so you have to toss me." Gimli says annoyed
Aragorn nods and is about to throw Gimli, but the dwarf stops him.
"Eh... Don't tell the elf." Gimli says
"Not a word." Aragorn promises
Aragorn throws Gimli, and jumps after him. The two battle the troops at the gate.
"Shore up the door!" Théoden yells
Saruman's army puts up more ladders. Legolas shoots the chain for one of the ladders. It falls, crushing some of the Uruks below. The men try to seal the gates, as Aragorn and Gimli continue fighting on the other side.
"Gimli! Aragorn! Get out of there!" Théoden orders
Legolas is standing up on the wall.
"Aragorn!" Legolas yells
Legolas throws down a rope. Aragorn, holding Gimli with him, jumps on to it. Legolas pulls them both up. More ladders rise.
