A group of horsemen ride to Edoras. Éomer is in the lead, carrying a gravely wounded Théodred.

Éowyn runs hastily up the stairs to the Golden Hall and enters a bedchamber. She runs to the bed.

Éowyn : Théodred!

Théodred seems to hear her call but is unable to respond. He has a bloody wound on the side of his head. Éomer nods to Éowyn in the direction of Théodred's torso. Éowyn draws back the covers and upon seeing Théodred's fatal wound, her lips tighten and eyes close. She looks up to catch Éomer's eye.

Éomer and Éowyn are speaking to Théoden-king who sits motionless on his throne, wizened, and aged beyond his years.

Éowyn : Your son is badly wounded, my lord.

Éomer : He was ambushed by Orcs. If we don't defend our country, Saruman will take it by force.

Gríma : That is a lie! Saruman the White has ever been our friend and ally.

Théoden : <mumbles feebly> Gríma… Gríma… My son...? Gríma...?

Éomer : Orcs are roaming freely across our lands. Unchecked. Unchallenged. Killing at will. Orcs bearing the white hand of Saruman.

Gríma : Why do you lay these troubles on an already troubled mind. Can you not see? Your uncle is wearied by your malcontent, your war-mongering.

Éomer : War-mongering?

Éomer grabs Gríma and pins him against a pillar.

Éomer : How long is it since Saruman bought you? What was the promised price, Gríma? When all the men are dead you will take your share of the treasure?

Gríma's eyes flicks to right, watching Éowyn as she walks by. Éowyn stops to stare back for a moment before departing form the hall. Éomer jerks Gríma again and clutches his hand around Gríma's jaw.

Éomer : Too long have you watched my sister, too long have you haunted her steps.

Gríma's eyes look to the left and relax as Éomer is suddenly pulled off Gríma by his thugs.

Gríma : You see much Éomer, Son of Éomund. Too much. You are banished forthwith from the kingdom of Rohan. Under pain of death!

Eomer yells as he is dragged away...

Éomer : Argh!!
