They haven't met Faramir yet.
Edit to bring to new page:
He doesn't want to see them. He doesn't want that.

So, Gollum is saying that he, Gollum, does not want to see “them”. Correct?
Is “them” the two hobbits?

Are 'they' dead?

Short answer: no.
Long answer: at the time of speaking, they're more hypothetical than either alive or dead.

'No, no oliphaunts,' said Gollum again. 'Sméagol has not heard of them. He does not want to see them. He does not want them to be. Sméagol wants to go away from here and hide somewhere safer. ...'
From end of the Two Towers chapter, "The Black Gate is Closed".

Um, yeah.
That's the way: find and lose the boat so that people seem to be flowing
This is not even close to the original.

Has this got anything to do with the safest order for people to climb down a mountain?
