[at the same time the dwarves continue to fight off the pack of spiders]
Thorin: Dwalin! Kill it! Kill it!
[Dwalin attacks the spider grabbing hold of Thorin, then (y/n) gets trapped by another spider]
Kili: (y/n)!
[(y/n) manages to stab the spider]
[then back to Bilbo who is still stabbing the spider that had crawled on the ring in anger and finally managed to kill it, then he picks up the ring and holds it up]
Bilbo: Mine!
[he then looks at the ring and it suddenly dawns on him how much the ring has a hold over him, he looks distressed as he realizes what he had done to regain it, then he hears the dwarves as they call out to each other]
Dwalin: Come on, keep up!
Thorin: Clear!
[suddenly one of the spiders lands in front of the dwarves, as more spiders start to descend suddenly Legolas appears along with the others, that's when the Wood Elves use their arrows to kill the spiders, after which they point their arrows at the dwarves]
Legolas: Do not think I won't kill you, Dwarf. It would be my pleasure.
[suddenly they hear someone screaming for help, (y/n) turns]
Fili: (y/n)!
[as (y/n) is being attacked by a pack of spiders a female elf, Tauriel, swings in and starts killing the spiders, Kili yells to her]
(Y/n): Throw me a dagger! Quick!
Tauriel: If you think I'm giving you a weapon, Human, you are mistaken!
[as she kills the spider she was fighting with she quickly turns and throws her dagger at the spider that was about to kill (y/n) which kills it]
[as the elves surround the dwarves]
Legolas: Search them!
[Legolas takes a locket from Gloin, showing a picture of his wife and son]
Gloin: Hey, give it back! That's private!
[looking at one of the pictures]
Legolas: Who is this? Your brother?
Gloin: That is my wife!
[looking at the other picture]
Legolas: And what is this horrid creature? A Goblin Mutant?
Gloin: That's my wee lad, Gimli!
[another elf takes Fili's weapons and he reluctantly hands over his sword]
[Legolas turns to Tauriel as she joins them]
Legolas: [subtitled] Are the spiders dead?
Tauriel: [subtitled] Yes, but more will come. They're growing bolder.
[as legolas walks away he here's a yelp and sees (y/n) with a dagger in his hand to Tauriels throat]
(Y/n): [subtitled] Let the dwarfs go or else I kill her.
[Legolas looks at (y/n) surprised it's not everyday that a man is able to speak elf so fluently]
Legolas: [subtitled] How do you know and speak elf so clearly.
(Y/n): [subtitled] that's a question to you'll never ge-
[before (y/n) could finish his sentence tauriel takes his arm and Twists it and holds (y/n) Own Dagger to his throat]
[one of the elves hands Legolas Thorin's sword]
Legolas: [subtitled] This is an ancient Elvish blade. Forged by my kin.
[to Thorin]
Legolas: Where did you get this?
Thorin: It was given to me.
[Legolas points the edge of the sword at Thorin]
Legolas: Not just a thief, but a liar as well.
[Legolas calls to his elves to lead the dwarves away]
Bofur: Thorin, where's Bilbo?
[Thorin turns to look behind him]
[the dwarves and (y/n) are taken to the Wood Elves' kingdom]
Legolas: [subtitled] Close the gates.
[we see Bilbo following behind them, invisible as he wears the ring again, as Legolas goes to enter through the gate he senses something behind him, he turns but he sees no one, he enters through the gate which is then closed behind him; the dwarves are then imprisoned in cells]
Dwalin: This is not the end of it! Do you hear me?!
Bifur: Let us out of here!
[to Tauriel as she takes him to his cell]
(Y/n): Aren't you going to search me? I could have anything down my trousers?
Tauriel: Or nothing.
[she closes the cell on his face and walks away]
[(y/n)stares at her and smiles to himself]
Legolas: [subtitled] Why does that man stare at you, Tauriel?
Tauriel: [subtitled] Who can say? He's quite tall for a Dwarf. Do you not think?
Legolas: [subtitled] Taller than some...
[Tauriel starts to walk away]
Legolas: [subtitled] ...but no less ugly.
(Y/n): You know I can here you right.
[Legolas looks at (y/n) as he sits in his cell]
[in their cells the dwarves and (y/n) start throwing themselves at the bars to try and break free]
Gloin: Arhhg...again!
Balin: Leave it! There is no way out! This is no Orc dungeon. These are the Halls of the Woodland realm. No one leaves here, but, by the King's consent.
(Y/n): And you'll never get his consent.
[Thorin is taken to the Elvenking Thranduil]
Thranduil: Some may imagine that a Noble quest is at hand. A Quest to reclaim a homeland and slay a dragon. I myself, suspect a more prosaic motive. Attempted burglary, or something of that ilk.
[he leans down to look at Thorin closely]
Thranduil: You have found a way in. You seek that which would bestow upon you the right to rule. A King's jewel. The Arkenstone. It is precious to you beyond measure, I understand that. There are gems in the mountain that I too desire. White gems of pure starlight. I offer you my help.
[Thorin smiles]
Thorin: I am listening.
Thranduil: I will let you go, if you but return what is mine.
Thorin: A favor for a favor.
Thranduil: You have my word. One King to another.
Thorin: I would not trust, Thranduil, the great King, to only his word. Till the end of all days be upon us!
[Thranduil looks visibly shocked at Thorin's words]
Thorin: You, lack all honor! I have seen how you treat your friends! We came to you once, starving, homeless; seeking your help. But you turned your back! You, turned away from the suffering of my people and the inferno that destroyed us!
[in his own language]
Thorin: May you die in dragon fire!
Thranduil: Do not talk to me of dragon fire! I know its wrath and ruin. I have faced the great serpents of the North.
[suddenly one side of Thranduil's face becomes distorted, showing signs of being once burnt, then as he steps back his face returns to its normal state]
Thranduil: I warned your grandfather of what his greed would summon, but he would not listen.
[Thranduil walks up the steps to his throne]
Thranduil: You are just like him.
[he motions for his guards to grab hold of Thorin who struggles as they hold him and take him away]
Thranduil: Stay here if you will, and rot. A hundred years is a mere blink in a life of an Elf. I'm patient. I can wait.
[Thorin is thrown into a cell]
[after being thrown into a prison cell; referring to Thorin's meeting with Thranduil]
Balin: Did he offer you a deal?
Thorin: He did. I told him he could go ishkh khakfe andu null. Him and all his kin!
Balin: Well, that's that then. The deal was our only hope.
Thorin: It's not our only hope, and (y/n) how is it you can speak elf so fluently.
(Y/n): I'm not gonna answer that thorin.
[Thorin looks up; we see Bilbo in his invisible state has entered the Elf kingdom, he takes a step forward when he sees Thranduil]
Thranduil: I know you're there.
[Bilbo thinks he's been found out as Thranduil turns to stare in his direction]
Thranduil: Why do you linger in the shadows?
[suddenly Bilbo hears Tauriel from behind him and he breathes a sigh of relief]
Tauriel: I was coming to report to you.
Thranduil: I thought I ordered that nest to be destroyed not two moons past.
Tauriel: We cleared the forest as ordered, my Lord. But more spiders keep coming up from the south. They are spawning in the ruins of Dol Guldur, if we could kill them at their source...
Thranduil: That fortress lies beyond our borders. Keep our lands clear of those foul creatures, that is your task.
Tauriel: And when we drive them off, what then? Will they not spread to other lands?
Thranduil: Other lands are not my concern. The fortunes of the world will rise and fall, but here in this kingdom, we will endure.
[as Thranduil speaks Bilbo sneaks past him and goes down some steps, Thranduil senses something and looks in the direction Bilbo took but sees nothing]
[as Tauriel turns to leave]
Thranduil: Legolas said you fought well today.
[Tauriel stops and turns to look at Thranduil]
Thranduil: He's grown very fond of you.
Tauriel: I assure, my Lord, Legolas thinks of me as not more than a Captain of the Guard.
Thranduil: Perhaps he did once. Now I'm not so sure.
Tauriel: I do not think that you would allow your son to pledge himself to a lowly Silvan Elf.
Thranduil: No, you are right, l would not. Still, he cares about you. Do not give him hope where there is none.
[near the Elf kingdom the Orcs led by Bolg watch the gates]
Narzug: [subtitled] The gates are guarded.
Bolg: [subtitled] Not all of them...follow me.
[Bolg turns and starts walking away and the Orcs follow him]
[in his cell, (y/n) holds a dagger he used on Tauriel in his hand that has Elven writing on it, he starts spinning it around and catching it, Tauriel who is doing a watch around the prison cells walks up to (y/n)s cell]
Tauriel: The dagger in your hand, it was made by the elves was it not.
(Y/n): It was someone dear to me, gifted to me, I treasure it.
[Tauriel looks at him for more clarification]
(Y/n): A powerful spell lies upon it, if any but a elven reads the runes on this Dagger...
[he shakes his head]
(Y/n): ...they will be forever cursed!
[he hold up the Dagger making Tauriel take a step back, she looks at him for a moment and then goes to leave]
(Y/n) : Or not. Depending on whether you believe in that kind of thing. It's just a simple dagger.
[he laughs and Tauriel smiles]
(Y/n): A forged Steel dagger. My mother gave it to me so I'd remember my promise.
Tauriel: What promise?
(Y/n): That I would End the tyranny of orcs once and for all. But I bet now she thinks I'm reckless and Very stupid.
Tauriel: Are you?
(Y/n): Nah.
[he through the dagger up but it falls out through the bars, Tauriel uses her foot to stop it from rolling away, she picks it up to look at the dagger]
[(y/n) hears the elves having a feast up above them in the kingdom]
(Y/n): Sounds like quite a party you're having up there.
Tauriel: It is Mereth Nuin Giliath; The Feast of Starlight. All light is sacred to the Eldar, but the Wood Elves love best the light of the stars.
(Y/n): I always thought it is a cold light, remote and far away.
Tauriel: It is memory, precious and pure.
[they look at each other for a moment]
Tauriel: Like your promise.
[she holds his dagger in her hand and he takes it back]
