- Gandalf is held prisoner at the top of the tower of Isengard. He is visited by a friendly moth, who he whispers to.
- Below, we see Saruman and his orcs preparing an army.
- They're burning the wood of the trees and forging steel armor and weapons.
- Saruman has also created a new breed of Orc by crossbreeding them with goblins (like a labradoodle but infinitely more terrifying). This new breed seems larger and stronger and will be later known as Uruk Hai.
