Why Bradley Carnell should stick around with the Red Bulls

In the film adaptation of The Two Towers, Faramir, son of the steward Denethor II, makes the ultimate sacrifice allowing Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee to leave his presence and continue their journey. By not bringing them and the One Ring back to his father in Minas Tirith, he acknowledges that he could be killed for this act of treason. In the extended edition, Samwise thanks the man of Gondor, proclaiming he has “shown his quality – the very highest.” Following the events of the story, Faramir was not named king. That title went to a heralded man of royal lineage who had spent time in the wilderness.
