This video is Part 2 of the extended edition version of the opening scene of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. It shows the continuation of the event where Deagol finds the One Ring in the river Anduin, and then Smeagol (later known as Gollum) murders him to claim the Ring. The video is taken from the 4K Blu‑ray version
Deagol, while fishing or otherwise near the river Anduin, discovers something unusual glowing in the water — the One Ring.

Deagol picks it up and is fascinated by its appearance.

Smeagol, his companion (friend or relative depending on interpretations), sees the Ring and covets it.

Conflict arises: Smeagol murders Deagol, taking the Ring for himself.

This marks the origin of Gollum’s obsession with the Ring, a key back‑story for the events in LOTR.

This scene establishes how the Ring passed into Gollum’s hands, setting up the corruption and obsession that become foundational in the rest of the trilogy.
