00:12.785 --> 00:14.786
(Ravan) <i>Before creation itself,</i>

00:15.261 --> 00:18.705
<i>there was Vayu.</i>

00:19.785 --> 00:21.706
<i>Vayu was not merely wind...</i>

00:22.119 --> 00:23.555
<i>but breath, movement.</i>

00:23.859 --> 00:25.324
<i>Vayu was life itself.</i>

00:25.895 --> 00:28.324
<i>Vayu is</i> prana <i>for the gods too.</i>

00:29.032 --> 00:33.615
<i>But stronger than him
is his son, Hanuman.</i>

00:34.232 --> 00:36.679
<i>In him, Vayu's breath
becomes a hurricane.</i>

00:37.019 --> 00:39.044
<i>But there's something else.</i>

00:39.585 --> 00:42.505
<i>Something more,
something extraordinary.</i>

00:43.665 --> 00:45.610
<i>Something even Vayu
may not fully comprehend.</i>

00:46.265 --> 00:48.836
Devas, Asuras, Gandharvas, Yakshas.

00:49.292 --> 00:51.546
<i>I have faced powers</i>

00:52.169 --> 00:54.560
<i>ancient and terrible.</i>

00:54.865 --> 00:58.239
<i>But I have yet to face
anyone like you, Hanuman.</i>

00:58.785 --> 01:01.712
<i>People believe if you harm
a hair on Hanuman,</i>

01:02.198 --> 01:04.387
<i>his father will come running
to save him.</i>

01:05.545 --> 01:08.887
<i>But does Hanuman even need
his father's protection?</i>

01:10.165 --> 01:13.576
<i>Even Vayu is left powerless
in my Lanka.</i>

01:14.455 --> 01:15.814
<i>But Hanuman...</i>

01:15.975 --> 01:18.197
<i>set fire to my Lanka,</i>

01:18.705 --> 01:20.445
<i>leaped across the sea,</i>

01:21.539 --> 01:23.912
<i>carried a mountain on his shoulders!</i>

01:25.172 --> 01:27.482
<i>He no longer is part
of Vayu's destiny.</i>

01:29.065 --> 01:34.287
<i>He writes his own destiny.</i>

01:35.285 --> 01:39.395
<i>A destiny that we cannot yet imagine
where it will lead.</i>

01:40.019 --> 01:42.617
<i>No matter, all forces can be broken.</i>

01:43.159 --> 01:46.962
<i>If Hanuman's power
is now greater than Vayu,</i>

01:47.732 --> 01:51.206
<i>then I must also grow beyond myself.</i>

01:51.678 --> 01:53.976
<i>If he is more than wind,
I must become more than death.</i>

01:55.056 --> 01:56.866
<i>Let us see</i>

01:57.276 --> 01:59.443
<i>whose evolution proves superior.</i>

02:00.129 --> 02:02.266
<i>Let us discover what happens when</i>

02:02.361 --> 02:04.904
<i>the children of gods
and demons clash.</i>

02:05.108 --> 02:07.308
(theme song)

02:53.945 --> 02:55.024
(Mandodari sighs)

02:55.025 --> 02:57.168
I was about to reach the sun,

02:57.506 --> 02:59.192
but Rahu reached before me.

02:59.535 --> 03:00.692
Rahu?

03:01.752 --> 03:04.161
I thought it was just a story.

03:04.385 --> 03:07.954
Rahu is not a story, <i>Maharani.</i>
It is real.

03:10.266 --> 03:13.585
(Hanuman) <i>And very vast...
and he came to feed.</i>

03:20.707 --> 03:22.434
(dramatic music)

03:24.825 --> 03:26.650
<i>I thought he came to play.</i>

03:29.901 --> 03:31.561
(groans)

03:34.105 --> 03:36.016
Who dares?

03:36.420 --> 03:38.513
(Hanuman) <i>Back then,
everything seemed a game.</i>

03:38.825 --> 03:41.505
Come here, boy, give the sun back.

03:44.936 --> 03:46.763
(low growling)

03:47.787 --> 03:48.920
Let go of me!

03:49.585 --> 03:50.698
(whooshes)

03:55.905 --> 03:57.840
(Hanuman) <i>We played
amongst the planets.</i>

03:57.931 --> 04:00.181
<i>We chased each other
through fields of stars.</i>

04:00.338 --> 04:03.010
<i>For me, the universe
was a playground.</i>

04:03.358 --> 04:05.393
<i>It was just so much fun.</i>

04:06.371 --> 04:08.010
<i>But my playmate was getting tired.</i>

04:08.178 --> 04:11.558
That's enough, boy. Stop now!

04:12.078 --> 04:15.923
(Hanuman) <i>I still feel bad
about how our game ended.</i>

04:17.064 --> 04:18.189
What is this?

04:18.190 --> 04:19.336
(grunts)

04:19.870 --> 04:21.344
(explosion)

04:25.184 --> 04:28.284
(Hanuman) <i>But I did have a new toy.</i>

04:31.192 --> 04:33.310
How did you even get here,
little <i>vaanar</i>?

04:34.252 --> 04:35.400
Put it back.

04:35.991 --> 04:38.666
No, Lord Indra! I'm keeping it safe.

04:39.145 --> 04:40.631
Give it to me now.

04:40.811 --> 04:45.100
No! You'll eat it
like that wild snake tried to.

04:46.716 --> 04:47.883
(whooshes)

04:49.291 --> 04:51.149
Return the sun to me <i>now</i>.

04:53.211 --> 04:54.788
I shall not ask again!

04:55.105 --> 04:57.425
I'm not giving it back.
I'm not. It's mine!

04:58.318 --> 04:59.481
Enough!

05:03.595 --> 05:04.642
(zaps)

05:07.459 --> 05:09.892
(dramatic music)

05:13.877 --> 05:16.570
Anjaneya, it's time for bed!

05:16.785 --> 05:18.069
Where are you, son?

05:19.011 --> 05:20.205
Anjaneya?

05:20.865 --> 05:22.845
(wind rushing)

05:27.237 --> 05:28.483
My son!

05:29.526 --> 05:30.873
(loud thud)

05:32.624 --> 05:33.890
(gasps)

05:35.873 --> 05:37.200
(panting)

05:41.846 --> 05:42.972
(gasps)

05:50.505 --> 05:51.736
My son!

05:52.065 --> 05:54.978
Say something, Anjaneya. Please.

05:55.777 --> 05:56.923
Speak to me.

05:57.556 --> 05:58.765
Speak to me.

05:59.818 --> 06:01.329
Open your eyes.

06:03.442 --> 06:04.855
(sobbing)

06:05.144 --> 06:06.944
(wind rushing)

06:11.945 --> 06:14.089
Who dares!

06:15.572 --> 06:20.142
Who dares to lay a hand on my son!

06:22.985 --> 06:24.239
Indra.

06:24.494 --> 06:26.828
This is your doing!

06:27.258 --> 06:30.121
You will pay for this.

06:30.732 --> 06:34.345
All the universe must pay!

06:35.011 --> 06:37.987
(Vayu) <i>Where there is no value
for Vayu's son,</i>

06:38.505 --> 06:41.344
<i>there is no value
for the wind itself.</i>

06:41.578 --> 06:44.330
<i>You stole my son's breath!</i>

06:44.565 --> 06:49.888
<i>I will see how you breathe
without the wind.</i>

06:53.385 --> 06:56.897
Your father withdrew the breath
of the entire universe?

06:57.318 --> 06:58.325
Yes.

06:58.598 --> 06:59.993
His rage knew no bounds.

07:00.357 --> 07:03.746
Even the gods were terrified.
So they came to beg for his forgiveness.

07:06.277 --> 07:07.385
(Indra) Lord Vayu.

07:08.838 --> 07:14.216
You dare show your face
to me, Indra!

07:14.572 --> 07:16.459
You must stop this madness, Vayu.

07:16.912 --> 07:19.110
The universe will die without you.

07:19.252 --> 07:23.282
Do you think I care?
Look what you did to my son!

07:23.985 --> 07:26.465
You have duties as the God of Wind.

07:26.912 --> 07:31.164
There is no greater duty
than a father protecting his child.

07:31.825 --> 07:38.648
I will not let a leaf stir
until I know my son is safe.

07:39.012 --> 07:42.002
Safe from all of you.

07:42.492 --> 07:44.811
Then it is decided. We swear

07:44.812 --> 07:47.723
that no harm will come to him
from any of the gods.

07:48.078 --> 07:49.898
No. That alone is not enough.

07:50.352 --> 07:52.915
You must bless him as well.

07:53.238 --> 07:57.780
Vow to protect him from any harm
he may face in the future.

07:58.745 --> 08:02.225
Only because of the pure love
for her child

08:02.785 --> 08:04.802
can a mother be brave
and demand from the gods.

08:05.652 --> 08:07.541
We shall honour your wish.

08:08.178 --> 08:10.778
Anjani, from this day forth,
your son shall be made immortal.

08:13.511 --> 08:14.690
(mumbles)

08:14.691 --> 08:15.874
Ma...

08:16.265 --> 08:17.707
Yes, my sweet child.

08:18.077 --> 08:19.186
(kisses)

08:20.385 --> 08:22.890
I'm hungry.

08:23.052 --> 08:24.466
(laughing)

08:29.696 --> 08:31.382
(Hanuman) <i>And so,
my father released breath</i>

08:31.383 --> 08:32.663
<i>back to the universe.</i>

08:34.499 --> 08:36.179
(wings flutter)

08:37.265 --> 08:39.115
But the gods were afraid
of my power.

08:39.445 --> 08:40.662
So Lord Indra visited us again

08:40.663 --> 08:42.754
and placed his hand
on my head and said,

08:42.959 --> 08:46.293
"You are too young
for your powers, Hanuman.

08:46.840 --> 08:48.557
"You will forget them...

08:48.792 --> 08:50.776
"until the time is right."

08:51.258 --> 08:55.477
Your father was going to destroy
the universe for you.

08:55.992 --> 08:57.845
And the father of my sons...

08:58.738 --> 09:02.933
loves his own ego
more than his sons.

09:03.972 --> 09:06.972
Perhaps that is the difference
between you and him, Hanuman.

09:07.283 --> 09:10.421
His power came from his arrogance.

09:10.614 --> 09:12.991
Whereas your power comes...
from love.

09:13.938 --> 09:16.241
That is why you could protect
your family.

09:16.431 --> 09:19.518
And he could not.

09:19.519 --> 09:23.832
There are countless other sons
I can still save, Your Majesty.

09:24.105 --> 09:27.575
But to do so,
I will need to use Yama's arrow.

09:28.552 --> 09:31.737
I will not betray my husband.

09:32.512 --> 09:33.921
I know you would never do that.

09:34.525 --> 09:36.693
Even though Ravan has fallen
from his path of <i>dharma</i>,

09:36.795 --> 09:39.891
I know you have not.

09:40.191 --> 09:45.199
I would not dare to ask you
where Yama's death arrow is hidden.

09:45.505 --> 09:47.385
Then what do you want, Hanuman?

09:47.698 --> 09:49.291
I want you to be prepared.

09:49.545 --> 09:50.799
Prepared?

09:50.898 --> 09:51.925
Yes.

09:52.618 --> 09:54.864
Vibheeshan has already secured
the arrow.

09:55.025 --> 09:56.136
It was just...

09:56.238 --> 09:58.535
so you would understand
what is about to come.

09:58.665 --> 10:00.772
Tomorrow Ravan will die.

10:01.032 --> 10:03.384
Too many have suffered.
You most of all.

10:03.385 --> 10:05.379
When he is gone, your Lanka,
your people,

10:05.597 --> 10:07.114
will need their queen's strength.

10:07.385 --> 10:09.793
You need to be ready for that.

10:10.225 --> 10:12.679
I have lost my sons,

10:12.785 --> 10:15.020
and now you talk about me
losing my husband?

10:15.152 --> 10:18.247
No, I will do everything
in my power to protect him.

10:18.451 --> 10:20.634
He is all that I have left, Hanuman.

10:21.532 --> 10:24.582
My duty was simply to inform you
of what is to come, O Queen.

10:25.238 --> 10:27.227
I hope you will forgive me.

10:35.058 --> 10:36.376
Impossible.

10:36.738 --> 10:38.639
There is no possible way

10:38.962 --> 10:42.775
Vibheeshan knows
where the arrow is hidden.

10:42.998 --> 10:47.267
If anyone could find the arrow,
it would be Vibheeshan.

10:47.772 --> 10:50.175
He's clever! He's your brother.

10:50.352 --> 10:52.286
He knows you inside and out.

10:52.762 --> 10:57.746
If they find Yama's arrow,
you will die, husband.

10:58.424 --> 11:03.857
I shall arrange for even more secure
protection for Yama's arrow.

11:04.009 --> 11:05.603
(buzzing)

11:13.411 --> 11:15.051
How many fell today?

11:15.458 --> 11:16.645
A thousand.

11:17.137 --> 11:18.853
Maybe more. We're still counting.

11:20.844 --> 11:23.896
Every martyr weighs heavily
on my soul, Lakshman.

11:24.064 --> 11:26.595
I will not let their sacrifice
be in vain.

11:26.758 --> 11:29.365
With his ten heads unified,

11:29.697 --> 11:31.750
Ravan has become something else.

11:32.131 --> 11:35.045
Our weapons, our soldiers,
our courage...

11:35.185 --> 11:38.025
nothing touches him now.

11:38.364 --> 11:40.996
General Sushena's army
is on the way as well.

11:41.438 --> 11:42.932
We'll need them.

11:43.144 --> 11:45.221
Let's hope they arrive
before sunrise.

11:45.711 --> 11:46.939
Yes.

11:48.182 --> 11:51.296
We have perhaps three hours
before dawn

11:51.737 --> 11:55.292
when Ravan takes the field again,

11:55.484 --> 11:58.054
and then he will decimate
our armies.

11:58.225 --> 12:00.025
He laughs while he kills us.

12:00.465 --> 12:02.934
He's enjoying this slaughter.

12:03.126 --> 12:07.192
Hanuman will arrive soon
and stop his laughter.

12:07.539 --> 12:09.891
If Hanuman fails...

12:10.064 --> 12:13.398
He won't. I have faith in him.

12:13.784 --> 12:15.691
He understands what's at stake.

12:16.324 --> 12:18.646
Every moment matters now.
He will definitely succeed.

12:20.465 --> 12:22.138
(wind howls)

12:24.217 --> 12:25.394
Master?

12:25.731 --> 12:27.692
It has been an age
since you visited.

12:28.444 --> 12:30.679
- Is it safe?
- Don't worry, my Lord.

12:31.171 --> 12:33.234
It never leaves my sight.

12:33.671 --> 12:36.220
- I wish to check. Take me.
- As you wish, Master.

12:38.789 --> 12:40.322
(door creaks open)

12:41.964 --> 12:43.524
(suspenseful music)

12:52.854 --> 12:54.034
(creaking)

12:58.866 --> 13:00.186
(ethereal tinkling)

13:04.231 --> 13:05.851
(ominous music)

13:07.082 --> 13:08.349
(creaking)

13:14.449 --> 13:15.976
(suspenseful music)

13:27.879 --> 13:29.059
(knuckles crackle)

13:36.499 --> 13:38.512
(suspenseful music continues)

13:40.498 --> 13:41.785
(metal scraping)

13:44.851 --> 13:46.539
This was a mistake.

13:46.931 --> 13:49.039
Ravan has clearly laid a trap.

13:50.524 --> 13:54.179
Did you really think I'd fall
for so obvious a deception?

13:54.571 --> 13:57.926
That I would blindly lead you
to Yama's arrow?

13:59.358 --> 14:02.045
Make yourself comfortable, Hanuman.

14:02.345 --> 14:04.425
For this will be your new home.

14:04.571 --> 14:06.256
For eons and eons beyond.

14:07.091 --> 14:10.740
As the sun rises, Ram will breathe
his last on the battlefield.

14:10.991 --> 14:13.739
And when he calls his <i>bhakt</i> Hanuman,
no one will answer.

14:17.998 --> 14:21.278
What... what have you done to me?

14:22.948 --> 14:24.888
(pulsing)

14:26.735 --> 14:28.028
(thuds)

14:31.674 --> 14:33.241
(laboured breathing)

14:34.537 --> 14:36.513
(Ravan) These thorns
have a powerful toxin.

14:36.823 --> 14:39.226
One created by me.

14:39.551 --> 14:43.989
The same toxin we used to keep
Kumbhakaran sleeping.

14:44.174 --> 14:45.838
(Ravan tsks)

14:46.158 --> 14:47.943
How do you feel? Weak? Look at you.

14:47.944 --> 14:50.005
Hanuman, the son of the Wind God...

14:50.217 --> 14:52.337
and you can't even crawl.

14:52.579 --> 14:54.352
(laboured breathing)

14:55.675 --> 14:58.145
I'll get out of here.

14:58.317 --> 15:00.395
By the time the toxin wears off,

15:00.564 --> 15:04.088
Ram will be dead for centuries past.

15:04.559 --> 15:06.286
(laughing)

15:08.338 --> 15:10.606
We will meet again then.

15:12.870 --> 15:14.957
(dramatic music)

15:17.837 --> 15:18.950
(soft thud)

15:22.421 --> 15:23.607
(door bangs shut)

15:23.791 --> 15:25.791
We've made this place his tomb,
my Lord.

15:26.091 --> 15:28.991
But what if Ram and Lakshman come
looking for him?

15:29.185 --> 15:31.545
Then they will find nothing here.

15:40.122 --> 15:41.295
(explodes)

15:42.186 --> 15:43.719
(rubble clattering)

15:47.112 --> 15:48.745
(thudding)

15:53.971 --> 15:56.532
You have been a valiant foe,
Hanuman.

15:56.810 --> 15:58.617
Unlike any I have faced.

15:59.198 --> 16:05.774
Long ago, Lord Shiva had trapped me
under Mount Kailash for an eon.

16:06.091 --> 16:09.845
So consider this a rite of passage
to a fellow immortal.

16:12.310 --> 16:16.908
When you awaken,
perhaps we could even be friends.

16:23.931 --> 16:25.378
(laboured breathing)

16:28.721 --> 16:30.229
Ram!

16:33.015 --> 16:34.475
(ethereal tinkling)

16:34.657 --> 16:36.330
(thunder rumbling)

16:44.941 --> 16:47.248
(ethereal music)

17:12.758 --> 17:15.610
Am I dreaming? How?

17:18.397 --> 17:19.456
(thuds)

17:24.222 --> 17:26.645
(suspenseful music)

17:28.484 --> 17:31.179
No. I won't make this mistake again.

17:31.905 --> 17:33.596
It's not a dream. It is real.

17:34.098 --> 17:35.970
I've travelled back in time somehow.

17:36.257 --> 17:37.494
Why?

17:39.291 --> 17:40.624
It's all a trap.

17:40.944 --> 17:43.063
A trap laid by Ravan.

17:43.543 --> 17:46.212
Yama's arrow isn't here.

17:47.415 --> 17:48.521
(whooshes)

17:49.505 --> 17:52.265
I am sorry the plan failed, my Lord.
He never even came inside.

17:52.351 --> 17:54.370
How did he know?

17:55.104 --> 17:56.609
Hanuman is clever,

17:56.791 --> 18:01.079
but I was sure
he would do anything for his Ram.

18:01.564 --> 18:04.267
Someone else has helped Hanuman.

18:04.684 --> 18:08.140
Something of great power.
Some other hand guides him.

18:08.518 --> 18:12.203
What more secrets are there
to you, Hanuman?

18:12.591 --> 18:14.013
What are you?

18:19.185 --> 18:20.226
(gasps)

18:20.227 --> 18:21.727
I swear these are teeth marks.

18:22.218 --> 18:25.233
Someone's tried to break my bridge.
I'll break him!

18:25.234 --> 18:26.407
Your bridge, brother?

18:26.537 --> 18:28.579
Fine. <i>Our</i> bridge.

18:29.057 --> 18:31.422
Someone wants to destroy our bridge.

18:31.988 --> 18:34.459
Lord Varun had promised
that he would hold it together.

18:34.558 --> 18:35.992
It can't possibly break.

18:36.185 --> 18:38.902
He did, but that hasn't stopped
someone or something from trying.

18:39.017 --> 18:40.721
It only needs to hold together
for a little while longer.

18:40.722 --> 18:45.104
Just till
General Sushena's army arrives.

18:45.298 --> 18:48.055
What of tomorrow, Nil?
I'm scared even thinking about it.

18:48.211 --> 18:49.612
They'll come.

18:49.764 --> 18:51.977
Sushena has never let us down.
Neither has Hanuman.

18:51.978 --> 18:54.584
Don't fill yourself with
unnecessary thoughts but with food.

18:54.585 --> 18:56.078
Come on. Dinner's waiting.

18:56.271 --> 18:58.302
I'm starving.

19:03.818 --> 19:04.983
There. Lanka at last.

19:05.144 --> 19:08.166
Send word to General Sushena
that the way is secure.

19:08.311 --> 19:09.967
He can lead his armies ahead.

19:10.444 --> 19:15.353
About time. My feet are killing me.

19:15.718 --> 19:18.189
You'll have soft sand
between your toes soon.

19:18.757 --> 19:21.510
- But Sushena will want to--
- (water gurgling)

19:21.511 --> 19:23.859
What was that?
I saw something in the water.

19:26.457 --> 19:29.410
- What did it look like?
- It had scales.

19:29.538 --> 19:31.028
Scales? Like a fish?

19:31.185 --> 19:33.419
How about that? A fish in the sea!

19:33.631 --> 19:36.661
I saw something <i>like</i> a fish,
but it was no fish.

19:36.772 --> 19:38.679
(rumbling)

19:41.998 --> 19:43.164
(gasps)

19:43.165 --> 19:44.472
(screams)

19:48.196 --> 19:50.296
(suspenseful music)

19:54.031 --> 19:57.596
It's no use, Mistress.

19:58.331 --> 20:00.651
That is Varun's doing.

20:01.251 --> 20:02.810
It doesn't matter.
Leave the bridge alone.

20:02.811 --> 20:05.328
Let them march towards their doom.

20:05.937 --> 20:07.622
Don't worry, Father.

20:08.004 --> 20:11.808
As long as your daughter lives,
no harm will come to Lanka.

20:13.364 --> 20:14.904
(splashing)
