(Hanuman) I am a beast in service of one far greater than you will ever be.
- Who are you? - (Makardhwaj) Son of Hanuman!
(Ahiravan) As you are about to learn,
I am Patal Loka.
(Harsha) I will die on my feet like a warrior.
I will be all-powerful!
I understand how I can defeat Ahiravan. For I am not alone.
Because you are always with me.
(Ram) Fortunately, time is different in Patal Loka.
What seemed like weeks for us was only a day or two here.
(Lakshman) What are they?
(Ram) Not what. Who.
(intense music)
What are they?
Not what. Who.
It's not possible.
(growls)
Ram!
Well, that was new.
(intense music continues)
Ram!
Tomorrow you die.
(title song)
(pants)
Get out of my way! Get out of my way!
(thuds, groans)
Must... must get away.
Get away... Ravan's army is destroying us!
We failed at saving Princess Sita.
(groans)
Up you come, my friend.
(blasts going off)
(coughs)
You saved me.
Quickly, you have to flee. You have to run away.
(chuckles)
Run away? But I only just got here.
Lord Ram!
It's you! You've returned.
But... but there are just too many of them.
Even you cannot save us.
(epic music)
(demons roar)
No, my friend. Not alone.
(bow screeches)
But together, we will end this evil.
(yells)
(blasts)
Ram has returned to the battlefield.
As have Lakshman and Hanuman.
How shall we respond?
We still have the advantage.
The vaanars are losing heart.
They're in retreat. Then let us unleash the entire army.
Send out all the reserves, every soldier we have.
Then take to the battlefield yourself!
While they are still in disarray,
now is the time to kill them all!
That is no strategy
but the actions of a desperate beast.
Do you forget who I am?
(epic music)
Brothers, listen to me! The tide turns. The battle is ours.
We must protect each other.
(blasts)
There is nothing to fear.
I don't ask you to follow me...
but him.
Lord Ravan, the key to victory is killing Ram.
The rest will crumble afterwards. We must find a way to...
The sky darkens.
A vast black cloud covers the battlefield.
(demons grunt)
(groans)
No!
(arrows swish)
A cloud indeed.
A cloud of death.
(Hanuman sighs)
Lord Ram brought us victory again.
I don't know why I bother.
- I'm no warrior. - (sword swishes)
No hero.
Is that what you think of yourself?
That's what everyone thinks of me.
You have plenty of courage, Nil.
But you have something greater than just courage alone.
Far, far greater.
We wouldn't be here if not for you.
There would be no hope for the princess.
Ravan's reign of terror would've spread across the universe
if it wasn't for you and your brother, Nal.
What do you...
Hmm...
(dramatic music)
Oh! You mean the bridge. So what?
I just helped build a bridge across the sea.
(chuckles) Is that all?
It was you who came up with the idea to mark the stones with Lord Ram's name
so Lord Sagar would make them float.
Nal and I just did the planning after that.
Anyone could have done it.
I couldn't have done it.
Nor could Sugreev or Angad.
Or wise Jambhvan.
Well, you know a bridge is a bit like Lord Ram's bow.
It needs a slight arch to properly work.
You see, my friend. Your mind is your greatest weapon.
We're fighting for a better world than this.
One where warriors don't exist, and there's no reason to raise a weapon.
I can't take us there. This is my time.
The future, however, is yours.
It is you who will one day build a better world.
You will unite the new world.
You have the vision.
Patal Loka was a place like no other. Ahiravan ruled like a king.
Everything was... the opposite of what we believe is natural.
(footsteps approach)
- Are you still awake? - (playful music)
Off to bed, all of you! Or if you're so energetic I have a few chores pending.
(exaggerated yawns)
Chores? (sighs)
I'd love to, but I'm so tired.
Exhausted.
Not you, Nil.
(snickers)
You still have some work to do.
Prince Ram has had a long day.
Bring him some fruits and water.
Of course, Jambhvan.
In fact, I'll also try and liven the Prince's mood
with a few tales of my adventures in battle today.
Maybe just stick to the fruits, Nil.
This day has been long enough already.
(footsteps fade)
Not you, Hanuman. Stay a while longer.
Patal Loka changed you. I can see it on your face...
or should I say faces?
Five Hanumans gaze back at me when before there was only one.
Welcome back, sweet boy.
(music turns soft)
It was a hard-fought battle, Jambhvan.
I feared we'd be lost there, never to return.
I was lucky to succeed.
Lucky? There is no such thing, Hanuman.
Ahiravan, in trying to destroy you, merely awakened you.
So it is with our enemies.
They can make us rise to greater heights.
To find strengths we never knew we had.
We then find the new changes within us.
An enemy can be an unintentional guru as well.
And what became of Ahiravan, my nephew?
He is dead.
There was no other way.
My heart breaks with pity at the loss of my kinsman,
yet justice was served.
Ravan has lost another son. I must send him word of this tragedy.
Ravan will now be even more obsessed with revenge.
More dangerous than ever.
Yes.
But the things I've learnt in Patal Loka
have also made me more powerful than before.
Then, young Hanuman,
I only hope your five heads...
can defeat his ten.
(eerie music)
Is it true?
Is our son Ahiravan dead?
Vibheeshan's letter confirms what I already knew to be true.
Then there is nothing left. Nothing at all.
Why, Ravan?
Why did you drive our sons to their destruction?
(sighs)
Why haven't I won?
Is that all that you care about? Winning?
We've only lost, Ravan. Lost everything. Everyone!
What game is he playing?
Game?
Our children are dead, Ravan!
And you think this is all a game?
All of life is a game, Mandodari.
My father taught me that lesson long ago.
He said the whole world was contained within the board.
Each piece represented a facet of life.
Some pieces barge ahead in straight lines,
trampling everything in their way
and never seeing the danger until it's too late.
Others are swift.
They move in ways that are unpredictable.
But once you understand their pattern,
they are easy to trap.
Then there are those
limited in their movements, ambition and imagination. The small pieces.
Yet, together such small things can dictate the flow of the entire game.
Of course,
many are lost in the process.
To be a master player is to suffer loss, Mandodari.
(epic music)
To play the game is to learn what you are.
But to master the game, you must learn who they are.
I had forgotten that lesson.
I've been fighting this war from my perspective,
not from my opponent's. That's my mistake.
Our sons are dead, Ravan.
Now, I also live only for revenge.
You need to find someone who understands the way Ram thinks.
Despite mastering this game, I never did defeat my father.
He knew me too well.
Not just your father, my husband.
You've never defeated me in that game either.
(chuckles) Yes.
But we're still not done playing, are we?
(demon 1) You are sure we cannot be seen?
(demon 2) Lord Ravan himself cast the illusion upon us.
We are invisible to our enemies.
They won't know we are here
until it is too late.
It is against the laws of war to fight at night.
We are not here to fight, fool.
We are here to steal.
And such gifts from our master!
A rope that cannot be broken.
And this blanket that brings sleep. The perfect tools for our business.
But whom should we pick?
(demon 1) The old bear?
He is the wisest of them all.
If anyone understands Ram's strategy, it would be him.
Or perhaps Sugreev?
He is the king of those flea-bitten monkeys.
Surely, Ram would've confided all his plans with him?
Wait! Look! By the great rock!
Hanuman.
That would be sweet revenge for all the indignities we have suffered.
He and Ram are as close as brothers.
We'll make him divulge everything.
Our master said he's too dangerous for this.
We need another.
We'll find another.
Wait!
Yes. Perfect.
Look... See how Ram trusts him.
See how he stands with such power.
The others seem so timid compared to him.
You speak truly. Every word of his seems like a command.
If anyone knows the mind of Ram, it will be this one.
(both laugh)
You will observe the game.
When the time's right, you shall deliver my messages
to the generals of my army.
And we shall see
if we can break this exiled prince's army once and for all.
(demon 1) My Lord! My Lord!
We have the leader you wished for.
Bring him here.
(thuds)
We observed all the great heroes within the vaanar army
but this one was with Ram the longest.
Surely he is his greatest adviser.
Such nobility! Such command!
He was perfect!
(demon 1) My Lord,
behold the greatest hero amongst the vaanars...
The mighty Nil!
Fools! Who did you bring?
(yawns)
Dawn already?
Have I missed breakfast?
I think I've missed more than breakfast.
- That's too bad! - (growls)
Are you sure we're safe?
It's the safest place in Lanka.
The rakshasas are far away on the other side of the hills
with half our army between them and us.
The only way they could reach us if they could...
fly.
(epic music)
Oh, no!
Oh, yes!
