Look at me.
Gandalf, forgive me.
Look at me.
What did you see?
A tree.
There was a white tree...
...in a courtyard of stone.
It was dead.
The city was burning.
Minas Tirith? Is that what you saw?
I saw...
I saw him.
I could hear his voice in my head.
And what did you tell him?
Speak!
He asked me my name.
I didn't answer.
He hurt me.
What did you tell him
about Frodo and the Ring?
There was no lie in Pippin's eyes.
A fool...
...but an honest fool he remains.
He told Sauron nothing
of Frodo and the Ring.
We've been strangely fortunate.
Pippin saw in the palantír
a glimpse of the enemy's plan.
Sauron moves to strike
the city of Minas Tirith.
His defeat at Helm's Deep
showed our enemy one thing.
He knows the heir of Elendil
has come forth.
Men are not as weak as he supposed.
There is courage still, strength
enough perhaps to challenge him.
Sauron fears this.
He will not risk the peoples of
Middle-earth uniting under one banner.
He will raze Minas Tirith
to the ground...
...before he sees a king
return to the throne of Men.
If the beacons of Gondor are lit,
Rohan must be ready for war.
