This happens in the book as well - What I gleaned is that if Faramir let them go free AND some type of ruin befell Gondor as a result, then Faramir's life would be forfeit. <P>What I wondered about in the movie is that Faramir just let them go out alone from Osgiliath. I can't imagine he would let them wander freely around Gondor, especially knowing Frodo had the Ring. In the book, doesn't Mablung or one of the other Rangers escort them to the crossroads out of Ithilien?<p>[ March 22, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]
