Hanuman learned that Swayamprabha,
the powerful yogini of the forest, had been captured.
Ravan's sister, the fearsome demon Shurpanakha, had tricked the yogini,
preying upon her kindness to strike when her guard was down.
Shurpanakha imprisoned the yogini in a binding spell
and stole her immense power for her own,
corrupting what was pure
and threatening all of nature's creatures in the forest.
Finally! There it is.
Rikshabila.
We must hurry, Jambhvan.
Rescuing Swayamprabha is the only chance we have to save Angad.
We're not going in there, are we?
No.
Please just leave me to die, Hanuman.
You still have time to find Princess Sita and save yourselves.
Nothing can save me now. I can't fight this for much longer.
The evil is retaking him.
What will we find inside that cave, traitor?
I don't know. I don't know! She didn't tell me anything!
I told you I had no choice. Shurpanakha would have killed me.
She may yet still. I plan on reuniting you with your mistress.
So, why don't you do us the honour
of taking the first step inside Rikshabila, Hariya?
This place is beautiful.
Don't be fooled by its beauty.
That which is beautiful can also be deadly.
This cave was created by Vishwakarma,
also known as rakshas Maya,
the master of illusion.
A place of illusions,
where men and gods forgot who they were
and became trapped in their desires forever.
Angered by the cave's dangerous illusions,
Indra struck down Maya and drove him away from the cave
and entrusted the cave to be guarded by the powerful yogini Swayamprabha.
From that day forth, Swayamprabha never left this place.
The power of the cave was hers to control,
and she swore to protect mankind with it...
until Shurpanakha stole the cave's power
in her mad quest to take revenge against Ram and Lakshman.
-Stop. -What is it?
Look. This is the third time we've walked past these same flowers.
The illusions of the cave are making us walk in circles.
There's no way to escape. The cave's magic won't let us leave.
We're trapped here.
It's Shurpanakha! She's found us!
Hanuman, you must lead us out of this and destroy their fears.
Look deep within yourself and find the truth. Find the way.
In the darkest day, in the blackest night, let hope guide you with its eternal light.
Ram.
Follow me.
Lady Swayamprabha?
Good, you heard my singing.
Welcome, Hanuman. I have been waiting for you.
You're safe? But Shurpanakha, how?
It was not easy. The demon tricked me.
She imprisoned me and stole my power, but she underestimated me.
Thank the gods.
We feared the worst, my lady.
You must be the wise, Jambhvan.
The forest is filled with stories of your heroism.
I had a vision that you were coming, that you needed my help.
Did Shurpanakha escape?
No, I destroyed that vile creature.
Her terror over this forest is gone forever.
Praise the gods!
I couldn't bear to look at that hideous face again!
You must be hungry.
Please enjoy this food and drink. Regain your strength.
We must first help Angad.
Your friend's life hangs by a thread.
The poison that infected him is burning him from the inside.
Let me try some healing spells.
Look, brother, all the food's gone.
Not all, brother. But not enough for two, I'm afraid.
My mango!
Not if I get it first.
My mango!
All right! Challenge accepted!
Jambhvan, keep an eye on those two. They'll get lost in the caves.
I'll be back quickly.
Don't worry, brother. We will cure you, Angad.
Hanuman, please... this place.
Sleep, brave one.
The pain is too great for him. A sleeping spell will allow him to rest.
Can he be saved?
There may be a way, but it would have a high cost.
Are you prepared to pay it?
For Angad, anything.
Good. I promise we will save your friend.
Let me gather some supplies.
You. Come with me.
-I will go. -No, please stay with Angad.
He needs you.
I did this to Prince Angad.
Let me at least try to help fix it.
No sign of that bird anywhere, and no sign of my mango!
Mango!
You mean, my mango. Meant only for yours truly.
Mango!
I hear it. Over there.
Give me that, you thief!
Wait, Nal. What's that?
That's Swayamprabha. Why does she have a statue of herself?
Will you look at that? Even I don't think so highly of myself.
That's not a statue.
Tell me what to do.
Quickly, just up ahead down this path.
Do not fear. The evil that tormented you is gone now.
I owe you my life for destroying that horrid demon.
Despite her flaws, Shurpanakha seemed to love Ram very much.
Love? Shurpanakha could know nothing of love.
Her face will give me nightmares.
Her nose was missing, sliced off!
I've never seen Princess Sita but, without a doubt,
she must be far more beautiful than that hideous rakshasi.
Stop! Stop saying her name!
Whose name? Princess Sita's? But why?
Yes, I understand. But how?
Fill us in? What's that bird telling you, old bear?
Yes, and why did it steal my mango?
This is the real Swayamprabha.
The woman we met before is really the rakshasi Shurpanakha in disguise.
Then, Hanuman and Angad... We have to get back!
Wait! Shurpanakha is still stealing Swayamprabha's immense power.
Unless we free her and cut off the demon's power, we are all dead.
That bird, it brought us here, didn't it? Does it know how to help her?
This bird is a part of Swayamprabha, a part of her very soul.
Shurpanakha made the mistake of ignoring it when she trapped the yogini's body.
What can we do, Jambhvan?
It's telling me of a mantra that may break the spell.
Quickly, together, we must try.
Come on.
I hurried back, for I sensed Angad's pain.
-We don't have much time. -Where is Hariya?
He's gathering more herbs, but that won't be enough.
There is only one way.
Tell me how to save him.
I will need to take some of your strength, your power,
your very life energy and transfer it to him.
Then hurry. We must save Angad.
This will weaken you, Hanuman.
But do not fear; it will only take a minute.
This strength.
Just a bit more.
I have never known such power. Just a bit more.
What are you?
No!
You... No...
I have never tasted this much power.
I need more!
Impossible! You have access to limitless power.
And you don't even know the truth, do you?
You waste such power. I will take all your strength, all of it.
No, get off of me.
Then I will feast on Sita's bones.
And when I see Ram again, I will be his equal.
No, more powerful than him. I will be his master!
You want my strength, demon?
Yes, yes. More, I need more.
What's slowing you down?
Here, take it! Take it all!
No, wait. It's too much. Your strength is too much. I can't!
Take enough to burst on it, monster.
I have plenty of strength to give.
Let go! I beg you! Let go!
I can't absorb this much, please! The pain! Stop!
Not until you free Angad. Release him from the curse.
I can't! There is no cure. Nothing can save him now.
The darkness has taken over his soul.
Your strength, your power, it burns like the sun.
I can't contain it.
Take it back! Take it all back!
Hanuman, thank the gods you're all right.
Hanuman! Look out!
I'll tear you apart!
No. That's what I'll be doing to you.
You! How did you get free? You dare trap me like this.
Jambhvan, you freed her?
You think you've won, foolish vaanar?
You have no idea what my brother will do to you.
Ravan will pick his teeth with your bones,
while he crushes Ram's head under his foot.
Ravan will kill you--
Silence!
Your hideous voice shall never be heard again.
The power of this cave is mine to wield again.
Now I will make you suffer for what you have done to me.
You will die in terror, monster.
You dare!
Sometimes we have no choice but to take a life,
but to show mercy takes even greater strength.
Wise words, young vaanar. Thank you.
I learned them from a friend.
Anger is an emotion I have not felt in many lifetimes.
Today you stopped me from succumbing to it.
Can you help him?
The demon's poison has corrupted him too much.
I don't know if I can help now.
Please. Please try.
It's not working.
We have to keep trying!
Angad.
Angad! Arise, my brother, arise!
Hanuman?
It is good to have you back, my friend!
We are ready, Lady Swayamprabha.
As I said, while I do not know where Princess Sita is being held,
this portal will save you weeks of travel and take you to the coast.
She was heading there when Ravan took her.
Thank you, Lady Swayamprabha.
I only wish I could do more.
If I may ask, what will happen to Shurpanakha?
She will remain here, away from harming the world.
I will make sure she sees justice for what she did to your friend Hariya.
Well, "friend" is a bit much.
Traitor!
Yes, but he has been punished for his part in this.
Let's go, you two.
Old bear, a word.
Old bear, really? You're probably at least five times my age.
Yes, but I don't look it. Women don't age, kind sir.
You saved Angad. For that, I will always be in your debt.
You're wrong, Jambhvan. I didn't save Angad; Hanuman did.
Hanuman's power has been reawakened.
It's time he learns the truth.
To know the truth of such power comes with a heavy weight.
Yes. Power without compassion means nothing. He reminded me of that.
Yes. He has changed since we left Kishkindha.
Perhaps it is finally time.
Safe journey, old bear.
As for you, demon.
Your punishment will be to watch
Hanuman bring your brother's empire down
and to see Ram reunite with his one true love, Princess Sita.
Where are you, Princess Sita?
O Princess Sita.
Sita... Sita...
