From what Pippin was able to recount, Gandalf deduces Sauron will attack Gondors capital Minas Tirith, so he rides ahead to warn them, and takes Pippin with him as punishment. They meet Lord Denethor, steward of Gondor, bitterly grieving the death of his son Boromir. Pippin offers his service to Denethor after confessing Boromir died protecting him.Meanwhile, Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee are led by Gollum to Minas Morgul where they witness the Witchking of Angmar leading an Orc army to drive Denethors younger son Faramir and his men from Osgiliath. At Gollums urging, the three begin climbing a precarious stair carved in the cliff face that will take them into Mordor via a secret way. But having overheard Gollums plot to regain the Ring, Sam keeps a suspicious eye on him. In Gondor, Pippin follows Gandalfs instructions and secretly lights the beacon to signal Thoden to assemble the Rohirrim and come to Gondors aid. ........
