the movie begins. A flute, the instrument used for Shire/Hobbit music, plays a simple tune related to the Shire Theme as the camera pans out from a close up of a worm to the face of the Déagol who is using it to bait his fishing hook. We cut to a wider shot of Déagol and Sméagol fishing in a boat.

Déagol cries out excitedly that he's caught something. The music picks up in tempo and we hear a variant of the accompaniment, Hobbits' Antics (more information HERE) An oboe takes over for the flute. The AS-ROTK calls this Hobbit music of a 'different breed'. (Adams)

Sméagol encourages his companion to pull in the catch. Violins pick up the tempo even more. This music is very similar to the music as Merry and Pippin run through Farmer Maggot's fields.

But instead the fish pulls Déagol in with a splash as the music crashes to a halt.

(Some of the phrases in this preceding section last longer on the CD then in the movie. The music stops momentarily on the CD but for a little longer in the movie as Sméagol realizes that Déagol is gone. The music heard in the movie as we see Déagol pulled along under water by the fish is not on the CD.)

A violin plays the first phrase of the History of the Ring Theme. Déagol's eyes get big and we cut to a ring in the mud on the bottom of the river. Déagol reaches for it.

He grabs the ring and hoists himself out of the water and onto the bank as the violin continues with the second phrase of the History of the Ring Theme.

(none of the music heard from 1:54 to the end is in the movie. see note below)
