Do you know how to write?


No. Why?


I've composed a great poem,


I've composed it all,
but nothing is written.


I need someone to
write down what I know.


What's your name?


Vyasa.


What's your poem about?


It's about you.


- Me?
- Yes.


It's the story of your race,
how your ancestors were born,


how they grew up, how a vast war arose.


It's the poetical history of mankind.


If you listen carefully,


at the end you'll be someone else.


Ganesha! Welcome!


Rumour has it you were looking for a
scribe for the poetical history of mankind.


I'm at your service.


- You're really Ganesha?
- Yes.


Ganesha in person.


I'm ready. You can begin.


Come and sit down.


There's something ...secret
about the beginning.


I don't know how to start.


May I offer a suggestion?


You're most welcome.


As you claim to be
the author of the poem,


why don't you begin with yourself?


Right!


A king hunting in a forest fell asleep.


He dreamed of his wife,


and there was a joyful explosion of sperm.


Very good start.


When the king awoke and
saw the sperm on a leaf,


he called a falcon and said: "Take
my sperm quickly to the queen!".


But the falcon was
attacked by another falcon.


The sperm fell into a river.


A fish swallowed it. A few months later,


a fisherman caught the fish,


cut it open and found in its stomach


a tiny little girl


- he called Satyavati.
- Satyavati...


She grew up, she became very beautiful


but unfortunately she smelled
most dreadfully of fish.


This made her very sad,
no one would come near her.


But one day,


a wandering hermit saw her and said:


"I like you. Let's make
love here, right away,


"and I promise to turn
your dreadful stench


"into a most delicious odour."


She cried: "Now? Here? I can't!"


So the hermit drew a thick mist


across the river and the fields.


She opened herself to him


and as she did so, she became fragrant,


irresistible.


They had a son?


Yes. I am that son. Vyasa.


Keep going, son of the mist.


You haven't started yet. What
happened at the beginning?


It was a gold age.


There was no war, no misery.


Men were close to the gods.


There was a prince called Bhishma,


a perfect prince.


His mind was clear, his body strong...


...his heart noble.


But he couldn't be king.


Why?


Because it was impossible for
him to marry, to have children.


Why?


Because his father had cast
his eyes on Satyavati...


...and he burnt with passion for her.


Satyavati, your mother?


Yes, my mother.


Your mother is playing
a part in your story?


Any objection?


No, no objections at all. Did
she marry Bhishma's father?


Satyavati refused to marry,
unless her sons could be king.


So Bhishma sacrificed himself
for his father's happiness,


to avoid all family conflicts.


He swore the oath of
absolute renunciation.


I abjure forever the love of women.


He said that?


He said just that, in all solemnity.


I abjure forever the love of women.


And the gods applauded his act.


In fact, they were so
pleased with Bhishma


that they gave him the power
to choose the time of his death.


Is it possible?


It was possible


in those days.


So Satyavati had another child?


Yes, but he was a poor weakling.


But you know, in the older days,
if a king wanted to get married


he had to win a wife in a tournament,


but this young king's far
too feeble to even take part


so Bhishma fought in his place.


He swept everyone off the field


and came back with three
wives instead of one.


The youngest was crying.


Amba, why these tears?


Before you won me at the tournament


I had already chosen
a husband in secret.


He knows that, and he loves me.


It's king Salwa.


How can you, who so revere fidelity,


how can you marry me
to your half brother,


when I'm already


bound by love to another man?


Salwa's waiting for me.


Let me join him.


What you say is true, Amba.


You can go.


It's me, Amba.


So Bhishma let you go!


Yes.


Go back to him, Amba. I
don't want you anymore.


What are you saying?


He got his prize,


you're soiled.


I couldn't for anything in the
world let someone else's woman


penetrate into my palace.


But I'm not his,


he's never touched me,


nor grazed me with the back of his hand.


He's not even wanted me.


Salwa, I'm a virgin.


My eyes know only you.


Please, leave!


I can't. Where could I go?


I repeat: I don't want you anymore.


Bhishma frightens me
and you are his prize.


You no longer exist. Go away.


Did the king marry the
two other princesses?


Yes, but he died on his wedding night.


So there were no children.


Naturally.


But without children
this story can't go on.


Precisely.


So the poetical history
of mankind is already over.


No. My mother found the solution.


It was up to me to do the necessary.


Why did you close your eyes?


So as not to see me?


You will have a son.


He will be called Dhritharashtra.


But as you closed your eyes on seeing me


he will be born blind.


- A blind son?
- Yes.


But a king cannot be blind!


What happened with the second princess?


Why is your colour draining away?


Am I so loathsome?


You too will have a son,


but he will be white as milk


and he will be known


as Pandu the pale.


Bhishma! Bhishma!


Save me.


I've been rejected by the man I love,


and you are the cause of my misery.


You can't abandon me now.


You won me, I'm your wife. Marry me.


You know I can't marry you, Amba.


No women can come into my life.


As Salwa has rejected you,


you are free. Go back to your father.


No, I'm not free, and I
refuse to go back to my father,


who bartered me like an animal.


Listen, hear what I'll do.


I will walk straight ahead,


in ripped clothes, begging my way


and I will live with
one thought, only one,


a thought like a blade:


how to find someone to
fight you to your death.


No one can kill me. It's impossible.


I will do so all the same.


I too pronounce a vow.


In one of the worlds I
will find your executioner.


There's now on this earth a
woman who'll always think of you.


Never forget me, Bhishma.


I am your death.


Pandu the pale


and his brother Dhritharashtra.


Who became king?

187
00:15:28,404 --> 00:15:31,388
Pandu, because his brother was blind.

188
00:15:54,525 --> 00:15:56,078
You see this woman?

189
00:15:56,278 --> 00:15:57,300
Yes.

190
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,434
Her name is Kunti.

191
00:15:59,807 --> 00:16:03,648
She doesn't know it, but she's carrying
the fate of the earth in her belly.

192
00:16:03,848 --> 00:16:06,406
Her children will be glorious.

193
00:16:06,606 --> 00:16:09,311
And without them, you wouldn't be here.

194
00:16:10,503 --> 00:16:14,100
Why is she looking so
persistently at the sun?

195
00:16:15,285 --> 00:16:17,367
It's a secret.

196
00:16:19,573 --> 00:16:21,960
King Pandu married Kunti,

197
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,525
and he took another wife
as well, called Madri.

198
00:16:29,770 --> 00:16:33,228
No sooner married,
king Pandu went hunting.

199
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,140
Who could have imagined

200
00:16:37,340 --> 00:16:41,481
that a simple hunt could
seal the fate of the world?

201
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,163
Who are you?

202
00:16:46,149 --> 00:16:49,971
I had taken the form of a
gazelle to join my lover.

203
00:16:50,171 --> 00:16:52,100
How could you kill us?

204
00:16:52,300 --> 00:16:55,850
You have not respected
the joys of love.

205
00:16:56,050 --> 00:17:00,088
Pitiless man, I'll show you no pity!

206
00:17:00,288 --> 00:17:03,347
I curse you! If one day

207
00:17:03,547 --> 00:17:07,360
you take one of your wives in your arms,

208
00:17:07,460 --> 00:17:10,352
at that moment you will die,

209
00:17:11,024 --> 00:17:13,357
as I do now.

210
00:17:21,857 --> 00:17:23,879
I'm cursed.

211
00:17:24,533 --> 00:17:29,081
I must vanish without a
trace into the mountains.

212
00:17:31,001 --> 00:17:34,590
I will live without anger, without fear,

213
00:17:34,790 --> 00:17:37,800
far from the need to kill.

214
00:17:41,980 --> 00:17:44,949
Dhritharashtra, my brother,

215
00:17:45,362 --> 00:17:47,862
you are king.

216
00:18:02,736 --> 00:18:04,476
And Madri?

217
00:18:04,676 --> 00:18:06,100
And me?

218
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,350
I have nothing to offer you.

219
00:18:08,550 --> 00:18:12,322
We only want poverty and solitude

220
00:18:12,594 --> 00:18:14,778
until we die.

221
00:18:31,824 --> 00:18:33,200
So they left the palace,

222
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,717
Pandu, followed by his
two faithful, loving wives,

223
00:18:36,917 --> 00:18:37,800
Kunti

224
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,800
and Madri.

225
00:18:40,100 --> 00:18:41,700
They walked for many days,

226
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,700
until they came to the furthest
reaches of the Himalayas,

227
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,900
the roof of the world.

228
00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:50,828
There, in the brutal cold,

229
00:18:51,028 --> 00:18:53,165
they made their new home.

230
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,400
But the shadow of the gazelle's
curse darkened their lives.

231
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,849
They knew how deeply
Pandu longed for children,

232
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,633
and they knew also

233
00:19:03,833 --> 00:19:06,681
that if he ever made
love to one of his wives

234
00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:08,400
he would die.

235
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,500
Sadly, he accepted the inevitable.

236
00:19:12,900 --> 00:19:16,188
This he thought was his destiny.

237
00:19:16,700 --> 00:19:18,800
How wrong we can be!

238
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:22,500
For Kunti held in her heart

239
00:19:22,900 --> 00:19:25,200
an ancient secret.

240
00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:28,400
When Kunti was very young,

241
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:30,913
a hermit gave her a magic formula

242
00:19:31,113 --> 00:19:33,217
as a reward for serving him well.

243
00:19:33,417 --> 00:19:37,900
With this mantra, she could
evoke any god she chose.

244
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,900
Kunti, I'm the sun.

245
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,865
You sent for me, and I'm here.

246
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,500
I am going to be your lover
and I'll give you a child.

247
00:19:48,900 --> 00:19:52,600
I can reassure you, your
virginity will remain intact.

248
00:19:52,900 --> 00:19:57,200
Abandon all your fears,
and come into my arms.

249
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,700
Instantly they had a son, a radiant son.

250
00:20:01,100 --> 00:20:03,569
But Kunti was afraid,

251
00:20:03,769 --> 00:20:05,585
she hid her fault.

252
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,300
She put the child in a basket

253
00:20:10,500 --> 00:20:13,260
and left him to a river's swim.

254
00:20:20,900 --> 00:20:24,200
A chariot driver found
him and brought him up.

255
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,900
Karna was a magnificent child

256
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,200
who grew up to be a divinely gifted man.

257
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,300
But in his heart there
was a bitter shadow.

258
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:39,505
He didn't know who he was.

259
00:20:45,156 --> 00:20:46,382
Pandu,

260
00:20:48,500 --> 00:20:51,116
I have a confession to make.

261
00:20:55,900 --> 00:20:59,600
I possess a magic power, a mantra.

262
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,200
What power does this mantra give you?

263
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,400
The power to call down a god at will.

264
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,100
And to have a child by him?

265
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,500
Yes.

266
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:17,000
How can you be so sure?

267
00:21:17,300 --> 00:21:19,300
I am sure.

268
00:21:22,774 --> 00:21:25,935
Don't hesitate! Quick, say your mantra!

269
00:21:48,700 --> 00:21:52,267
Which god should I call down first?

270
00:21:53,395 --> 00:21:56,214
Evoke Dharma!

271
00:21:56,449 --> 00:21:59,699
Beyond him, all thought must stop.

272
00:22:40,700 --> 00:22:44,689
This is Yudhishthira,

273
00:22:44,889 --> 00:22:47,100
our first born,

274
00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:49,600
son of Dharma,

275
00:22:50,304 --> 00:22:53,234
born to be king.

276
00:23:01,900 --> 00:23:03,160
I beseech you,

277
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:05,000
give me another child.

278
00:23:05,300 --> 00:23:09,100
Evoke Vayu, god of the wind.

279
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,900
He is Bhima,

280
00:23:26,300 --> 00:23:30,600
son of the wind, strong as thunder.

281
00:23:35,300 --> 00:23:39,100
Now I call on Indra,

282
00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:41,300
king of gods.

283
00:23:53,439 --> 00:23:55,577
He's Arjuna,

284
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,300
the perfect warrior, born to conquer.

285
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,577
Kunti, lend me your mantra so
that I can have children too.

286
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,900
Madri, evoke the Aswins,

287
00:24:46,100 --> 00:24:49,097
the twin gods with golden eyes.

288
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,500
Here are our two sons,

289
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,900
Nakula and Sahadeva,

290
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,700
as inseparable as patience and wisdom.

291
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:22,428
Five sons, descended from the gods.

292
00:25:32,700 --> 00:25:36,622
They are the five sons
of Pandu, the Pandavas.

293
00:25:36,822 --> 00:25:38,600
We'll never leave them,

294
00:25:38,900 --> 00:25:41,700
they are the heart of my poem.

295
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,400
And I have the same blood?

296
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,550
I come from the gods?

297
00:25:49,750 --> 00:25:51,700
That's what the story tells.

298
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:22,300
There was a beautiful princess
from the north, called Gandhari.

299
00:26:22,700 --> 00:26:26,900
She'd set out on a long journey
to the blind king's city.

300
00:26:27,300 --> 00:26:31,100
All she knew was that her
marriage had been prepared.

301
00:26:32,100 --> 00:26:35,600
While waiting for the wedding,
she lived in seclusion.

302
00:26:35,900 --> 00:26:39,000
Each day her servant visited the city

303
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,000
and told her of its thousand wonders.

304
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:43,891
Princess...

305
00:26:44,091 --> 00:26:45,276
What's the matter?

306
00:26:45,476 --> 00:26:47,589
I saw your future husband.

307
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,500
Is he handsome? Strong?

308
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,400
Yes, he's strong. Very strong.

309
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,100
Then why are you crying?

310
00:26:58,500 --> 00:26:59,800
Princess,

311
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,700
you've been betrayed.

312
00:27:02,900 --> 00:27:05,575
Dhritharashtra is blind,

313
00:27:05,775 --> 00:27:07,486
born blind.

314
00:27:08,300 --> 00:27:11,815
That's impossible. A
king cannot be blind.

315
00:27:12,015 --> 00:27:13,892
I asked an old guard:

316
00:27:14,092 --> 00:27:17,034
his eyes are dead.

317
00:27:19,300 --> 00:27:23,901
If he's blind, he could
only reign over the night,

318
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,333
amidst the cries of the diseased people.

319
00:27:29,828 --> 00:27:33,300
What's the use of my paint,

320
00:27:33,700 --> 00:27:38,700
of my dresses, if my
husband will never see me?

321
00:27:41,173 --> 00:27:43,552
Why my hair?

322
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,400
Why my flesh...

323
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,300
...and my eyes?

324
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:00,400
Give me my veil.

325
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:13,900
What are you looking at?

326
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,400
At you.

327
00:28:16,223 --> 00:28:18,935
You are my last image in this world.

328
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:22,900
What are you doing?

329
00:28:23,300 --> 00:28:27,177
I'm putting a veil on my eyes.

330
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,573
I'm tying it firmly.

331
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,400
I will never take it off.

332
00:28:39,300 --> 00:28:41,170
Give me your hand,

333
00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:45,158
lead me to my husband.

334
00:28:47,500 --> 00:28:51,900
Now I can never reproach him

335
00:28:52,100 --> 00:28:54,007
his misfortune.

336
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,785
Soon, Gandhari felt life in her womb,

337
00:30:07,985 --> 00:30:11,650
but two years went
by, her belly was hard,

338
00:30:11,850 --> 00:30:13,540
nothing stirred.

339
00:30:13,740 --> 00:30:17,300
Gandhari, Kunti has just
given birth to a son.

340
00:30:17,700 --> 00:30:19,500
His name is Yudhishthira.

341
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,200
The people say he will be king.

342
00:30:27,500 --> 00:30:30,000
Get an iron bar.

343
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:31,700
What?

344
00:30:32,100 --> 00:30:35,300
Obey me! Get an iron bar.

345
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,300
Strike me on the belly!

346
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,400
Do what I tell you!

347
00:30:51,605 --> 00:30:52,689
Harder!

348
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,633
Harder still!

349
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,000
Again! Strike!

350
00:30:58,300 --> 00:31:01,400
Go on! Again! Strike!

351
00:31:01,700 --> 00:31:03,138
You're delivering me!

352
00:31:11,971 --> 00:31:14,622
What has just come out of my womb?

353
00:31:14,822 --> 00:31:16,500
A ball of flesh.

354
00:31:18,700 --> 00:31:22,108
It's crying? It moves?

355
00:31:24,638 --> 00:31:28,207
No, it's cold and hard

356
00:31:28,407 --> 00:31:30,300
like metal.

357
00:31:37,700 --> 00:31:42,266
Throw the ball into a
well, and leave me alone.

358
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,500
No! Cut the ball into a hundred pieces,

359
00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:53,800
put them into a hundred
earthenware jars,

360
00:31:54,100 --> 00:31:56,600
sprinkle them with fresh water.

361
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:06,520
Out of them, will come a hundred sons.

362
00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:17,800
The first to be born
was called Duryodhana.

363
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,400
Bhishma, what are these sounds?

364
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:28,525
Winds, animals, angry birds of prey,

365
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,804
and the screams of your son.

366
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,300
What do these omens mean?

367
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,900
They say Duryodhana comes to destroy.

368
00:32:42,300 --> 00:32:44,700
If you wish to preserve your race,

369
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,314
sacrifice him.

370
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,000
Even if he howls,

371
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,700
even if he brings with
him hatred and terror,

372
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:02,168
no one will kill my first born
child without killing me myself.

373
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:13,100
Madri, the birds chuckle,

374
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:18,291
the insects tremble with
joy, the flowers open...

375
00:33:18,491 --> 00:33:20,200
It's the first day of spring,

376
00:33:23,500 --> 00:33:27,324
and the sun streams through your dress.

377
00:33:29,178 --> 00:33:31,300
Pandu, don't touch me.

378
00:33:31,500 --> 00:33:33,742
- If you love me, you die!
- I know...

379
00:33:33,942 --> 00:33:36,971
But when I look at
you, I prefer love to life.

380
00:33:37,700 --> 00:33:39,411
Not a word!

381
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,100
Don't tempt death!

382
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:48,437
Death is seducing you. Keep away.

383
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,300
There is no risk for you.

384
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,380
Lie down.

385
00:33:57,300 --> 00:34:01,267
No. You'll need to take me by force!

386
00:34:56,074 --> 00:34:57,370
Kunti!

387
00:35:01,500 --> 00:35:03,400
I wanted to save him,

388
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,800
but his destiny carried him away.

389
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,000
You are happier than I am,

390
00:35:13,500 --> 00:35:19,351
because you have seen
his face glow with desire.

391
00:35:19,551 --> 00:35:21,800
I will follow him to the other flow.

392
00:35:27,429 --> 00:35:28,399
No.

393
00:35:30,632 --> 00:35:34,200
As it's in my arms that he
breathed his last breath,

394
00:35:36,943 --> 00:35:38,500
I will die.

395
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,100
I give you my sons.

396
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,000
They no longer have a
father in this world.

397
00:35:45,900 --> 00:35:48,861
They will be like my sons.

398
00:35:49,700 --> 00:35:52,300
They will share everything.

399
00:35:59,765 --> 00:36:03,476
Burn my body along with the king.

400
00:36:04,900 --> 00:36:05,900
Come.

401
00:36:07,711 --> 00:36:09,670
Help me to die.

402
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,000
Ganesha, you're writing everything?

403
00:36:19,300 --> 00:36:22,900
I'm writing everything and
I understand everything.

404
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,300
Now we skip.

405
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:27,900
Twenty years?

406
00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:30,843
- Twenty years.
- Simple.

407
00:36:31,163 --> 00:36:33,363
So your heroes
have now grown up...

408
00:36:33,563 --> 00:36:34,953
Exactly.

409
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,909
One day, a stranger walked
into the blind king's palace,

410
00:36:45,109 --> 00:36:49,397
where Bhishma was trying to
educate all the cousins together.

411
00:36:50,227 --> 00:36:51,692
Bhishma!

412
00:37:11,068 --> 00:37:14,352
- Bhima! Put down that tree!
- No!

413
00:37:18,288 --> 00:37:19,900
Who are you?

414
00:37:21,220 --> 00:37:23,118
I am the new teacher.

415
00:37:23,119 --> 00:37:25,642
- What's your name?
- Who has sent you?

416
00:37:26,300 --> 00:37:28,400
My name is Drona.

417
00:37:28,700 --> 00:37:30,600
No one has sent me.

418
00:37:31,228 --> 00:37:34,079
I am here for your education.

419
00:37:36,006 --> 00:37:38,100
Are you really Drona?

420
00:37:38,500 --> 00:37:39,600
Yes.

421
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,698
I've heard much of you.

422
00:37:42,100 --> 00:37:43,564
Bhishma!

423
00:37:47,659 --> 00:37:52,095
Is it true that you know all
the possible forms of war?

424
00:37:52,524 --> 00:37:54,641
As well as you, Bhishma.

425
00:37:54,841 --> 00:37:57,105
And you also know sacred weapons?

426
00:37:57,305 --> 00:37:59,702
Yes, I know them too.

427
00:37:59,902 --> 00:38:01,975
I'm happy you have come to our city.

428
00:38:03,367 --> 00:38:06,006
These are the sons of Pandu,

429
00:38:06,500 --> 00:38:09,100
and the sons of Dhritharashtra,

430
00:38:09,845 --> 00:38:12,754
the Kauravas and the Pandavas.

431
00:38:13,853 --> 00:38:15,570
At the death of Pandu

432
00:38:15,770 --> 00:38:18,086
I decided to raise them together,

433
00:38:18,286 --> 00:38:22,683
but since childhood
everything tears them apart.

434
00:38:22,883 --> 00:38:23,700
So I see.

435
00:38:23,900 --> 00:38:25,753
Duryodhana and all his
brothers want to kill us!

436
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,700
No! Bhima tries to
strangle us day after day!

437
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,501
Duryodhana wants the kingdom!
He wants to destroy us!

438
00:38:34,679 --> 00:38:35,836
Silence!

439
00:38:36,036 --> 00:38:37,100
When do you begin?

440
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:38,895
I begin.

441
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,500
On top of this wall,

442
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,800
I've placed a vulture

443
00:38:49,100 --> 00:38:52,077
made of straw and rags.

444
00:38:52,277 --> 00:38:54,852
Yudhishthira, aim!

445
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,264
What do you see?

446
00:39:00,464 --> 00:39:02,200
I see the vulture.

447
00:39:03,658 --> 00:39:05,200
Do you see the wall?

448
00:39:06,134 --> 00:39:08,118
Yes, I see the wall.

449
00:39:08,318 --> 00:39:11,524
I see my bow and the
arrow, I see my arm...

450
00:39:11,724 --> 00:39:13,511
Back to your place!

451
00:39:19,183 --> 00:39:21,507
Nakula, come here.

452
00:39:22,052 --> 00:39:23,829
You too, Bhima.

453
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,327
You too, Duryodhana.

454
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:31,939
Aim at the bird.

455
00:39:45,100 --> 00:39:46,434
What do you see?

456
00:39:46,632 --> 00:39:48,800
I see the bird, the sky...

457
00:39:49,100 --> 00:39:49,900
My hand...

458
00:39:50,100 --> 00:39:53,902
I see the bird, I see my bow,
I see the top of the wall...

459
00:39:54,102 --> 00:39:55,601
I see a cloud in the sky...

460
00:39:55,801 --> 00:39:57,108
Back! All of you!

461
00:40:03,533 --> 00:40:06,377
Arjuna! Aim too!

462
00:40:08,308 --> 00:40:09,586
Aim!

463
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,400
What do you see?

464
00:40:19,700 --> 00:40:21,557
The vulture.

465
00:40:21,900 --> 00:40:24,634
Describe the vulture.

466
00:40:24,900 --> 00:40:26,200
I can't.

467
00:40:26,900 --> 00:40:28,300
Why?

468
00:40:28,900 --> 00:40:31,992
I can only see its eye.

469
00:40:32,192 --> 00:40:33,635
Raise your arrow!

470
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,699
I'll make you the finest
archer in the world.

471
00:40:39,899 --> 00:40:41,209
But...

472
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,912
...I need you to make a promise.

473
00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:50,245
If one day

474
00:40:50,573 --> 00:40:54,622
destiny places us face to face,

475
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,074
you must fight me,

476
00:40:58,274 --> 00:41:03,020
and you must fight to kill!

477
00:41:08,009 --> 00:41:09,757
Yes, I promise.

478
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,328
Who's this?

479
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,011
Wait, you'll see.

480
00:41:23,616 --> 00:41:27,986
Drona, you are my master. I know it.

481
00:41:28,300 --> 00:41:30,300
My name is Ekalavya.

482
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,654
I come from the other side of the
world to receive your teaching.

483
00:41:36,343 --> 00:41:38,414
Take me in your school.

484
00:41:45,045 --> 00:41:46,271
No.

485
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,293
Why? Like you, Drona,

486
00:41:50,493 --> 00:41:53,416
I can give up riches and pleasure.

487
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,204
I only wish to learn.

488
00:41:57,841 --> 00:42:01,573
I have enough pupils. Go away.

489
00:42:06,255 --> 00:42:10,099
Thus rejected, the other, lessened,
withdrew to the depths of a wood,

490
00:42:10,299 --> 00:42:13,000
and there, alone, he
moulded out of the earth

491
00:42:13,300 --> 00:42:16,638
a living likeness of Drona.

492
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,500
Each day devotedly he
worshipped his idol,

493
00:42:21,900 --> 00:42:24,200
and trained himself under its gaze.

494
00:42:24,700 --> 00:42:26,600
Watched over by the statue,

495
00:42:26,900 --> 00:42:30,200
he acquired the most astonishing skills.

496
00:43:02,100 --> 00:43:04,732
Drona, you haven't kept your promise!

497
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,280
In what way?

498
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,089
You promised I would be the best,

499
00:43:10,289 --> 00:43:12,373
none of your pupils would be my rival.

500
00:43:12,573 --> 00:43:14,177
Ekalavya has planted seven arrows

501
00:43:14,377 --> 00:43:16,019
in the jaws of a barking dog,

502
00:43:16,219 --> 00:43:19,003
and Ekalavya says he's your pupil.

503
00:43:37,500 --> 00:43:41,247
Master, I kiss the earth before you.

504
00:43:41,447 --> 00:43:45,773
I'm your pupil. Your visit
brings me unexpected joy.

505
00:43:45,973 --> 00:43:48,292
If you are my pupil,

506
00:43:48,917 --> 00:43:52,165
you must pay me for my lessons.

507
00:43:52,679 --> 00:43:54,385
Ask what you wish.

508
00:43:54,585 --> 00:43:56,671
I owe you everything.

509
00:43:57,323 --> 00:44:03,041
Give me the thumb of your right hand.

510
00:44:04,943 --> 00:44:06,568
Here it is.

511
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,218
Why this sight of cruelty?

512
00:44:37,792 --> 00:44:40,770
Because the earth has lost its youth,

513
00:44:40,970 --> 00:44:43,280
it's gone by like a happy dream.

514
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:44,981
Now, each day

515
00:44:45,181 --> 00:44:49,781
brings us closer to
destruction, to barrenness.

516
00:44:52,693 --> 00:44:53,873
In the palace,

517
00:44:54,073 --> 00:44:56,590
the young men only thought of war.

518
00:44:57,300 --> 00:45:00,900
As Arjuna showed his
extraordinary skills,

519
00:45:01,100 --> 00:45:04,927
his cousins watched
with growing jealousy...

520
00:45:05,127 --> 00:45:06,674
...and fear.

521
00:45:14,700 --> 00:45:18,202
Dhritharashtra, he's incomparable!

522
00:45:18,426 --> 00:45:21,211
Even his thoughts are arrows!

523
00:45:30,900 --> 00:45:32,470
Son of Kunti!

524
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,100
Who is it?

525
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:35,600
A stranger.

526
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,308
Son of Kunti,

527
00:45:37,508 --> 00:45:40,318
I can do all that you have done,

528
00:45:40,700 --> 00:45:43,808
as well as you. Even better.

529
00:45:44,100 --> 00:45:45,400
Watch.

530
00:46:03,500 --> 00:46:06,930
I hit it in the left eye.

531
00:46:09,100 --> 00:46:10,928
Dushassana!

532
00:46:15,616 --> 00:46:17,200
What's your name?

533
00:46:17,901 --> 00:46:19,300
Karna.

534
00:46:20,039 --> 00:46:24,746
Welcome. Come into my arms!

535
00:46:25,412 --> 00:46:28,900
You are here, but you haven't
been invited. You speak...

536
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:30,800
...but you have not been addressed.

537
00:46:31,100 --> 00:46:34,899
Isn't this place of arms open to all?

538
00:46:35,099 --> 00:46:36,733
That is the custom.

539
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:45,800
Arjuna, wherever you look,

540
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,247
I will always be ahead.

541
00:46:49,693 --> 00:46:54,090
Prepare yourself. We are going to fight.

542
00:47:01,196 --> 00:47:02,528
Why are you waiting?

543
00:47:02,728 --> 00:47:04,000
I'm ready.

544
00:47:21,655 --> 00:47:25,219
Arjuna comes from a Ksatriya family.

545
00:47:25,419 --> 00:47:29,317
He is of royal birth, and he...

546
00:47:29,517 --> 00:47:32,595
...cannot fight an inferior person.

547
00:47:32,795 --> 00:47:34,800
Tell us your father's name!

548
00:47:43,068 --> 00:47:47,754
At least tell us your mother's
name, and I'll let you fight.

549
00:47:49,129 --> 00:47:50,870
You don't reply.

550
00:47:52,048 --> 00:47:53,411
Karna...

551
00:47:53,611 --> 00:47:57,561
Are you ashamed of your
mother, or don't you know her?

552
00:47:59,817 --> 00:48:01,270
I don't know her.

553
00:48:01,570 --> 00:48:03,994
What is your origin?

554
00:48:04,467 --> 00:48:09,179
I'm called the driver's son.

555
00:48:10,191 --> 00:48:13,916
Withdraw. This is not your place.

556
00:48:16,938 --> 00:48:18,228
Karna!

557
00:48:20,753 --> 00:48:24,735
If you have to be a prince to
fight, I'll consecrate you here.

558
00:48:24,935 --> 00:48:26,116
Come.

559
00:48:26,870 --> 00:48:28,670
I give you the land of Anga.

560
00:48:28,970 --> 00:48:30,870
I name you king.

561
00:48:36,870 --> 00:48:38,822
What can I give you in exchange?

562
00:48:39,022 --> 00:48:41,665
- Your friendship.
- It's yours,

563
00:48:41,865 --> 00:48:44,049
forever, truly.

564
00:48:48,375 --> 00:48:50,470
Now the fight can begin.

565
00:48:53,902 --> 00:48:55,859
The son of a driver!

566
00:48:56,059 --> 00:48:57,479
Sweet heaven...

567
00:48:57,896 --> 00:49:00,161
Give him a whip, and
the shovel for the shit!

568
00:49:00,361 --> 00:49:02,870
Bhima, quiet or I'll
tear out your tongue!

569
00:49:03,823 --> 00:49:08,072
They set a driver's son
on the throne of Anga!

570
00:49:10,675 --> 00:49:13,525
Shut your mouth and
don't speak of birth!

571
00:49:13,725 --> 00:49:15,252
Birth is obscure,

572
00:49:15,452 --> 00:49:20,525
and men are like rivers whose
origins are often unknown. Drona...

573
00:49:22,382 --> 00:49:25,590
I look at Karna and I'm not mistaken.

574
00:49:26,246 --> 00:49:29,771
I see his power hedged with mystery,

575
00:49:30,458 --> 00:49:32,763
and he'll forever be my friend.

576
00:49:33,976 --> 00:49:38,726
The setting sun seems
to whisper it's true.

577
00:49:42,611 --> 00:49:44,187
Come, Karna.

578
00:49:44,620 --> 00:49:46,033
The day is over.

579
00:49:52,589 --> 00:49:55,351
Arjuna, you have rejected me.

580
00:49:55,884 --> 00:49:59,027
Inevitably, one day we will fight

581
00:50:00,103 --> 00:50:02,496
and I will kill you.

582
00:50:17,115 --> 00:50:21,192
Mother, guess what I've won!

583
00:50:21,950 --> 00:50:24,417
You must share it with your brothers.

584
00:50:25,283 --> 00:50:26,628
But it's a woman!

585
00:50:26,828 --> 00:50:28,345
I won her in a tournament.

586
00:50:28,545 --> 00:50:31,810
All the princes of the world
wanted her, but I won.

587
00:50:32,010 --> 00:50:33,544
What did I say?

588
00:50:34,063 --> 00:50:36,698
You said "You must share
it with your brothers".

589
00:50:37,523 --> 00:50:40,088
I can't take back my word.

590
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,405
You must do as I say.

591
00:50:48,312 --> 00:50:49,820
What's her name?

592
00:50:50,936 --> 00:50:52,120
Draupadi.

593
00:51:03,720 --> 00:51:06,353
You must do as I say.

594
00:51:06,553 --> 00:51:09,887
You must share Draupadi between you,

595
00:51:10,087 --> 00:51:13,840
but she mustn't suffer in any way.

596
00:51:22,682 --> 00:51:24,669
There is only one question:

597
00:51:24,869 --> 00:51:28,452
do you all love Draupadi?

598
00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:33,994
Yes, I already feel I love her.

599
00:51:34,194 --> 00:51:36,020
I love her, deeply.

600
00:51:36,220 --> 00:51:38,020
- So do I.
- So do I.

601
00:51:38,220 --> 00:51:40,061
Yes, I love her too.

602
00:51:40,720 --> 00:51:44,416
All of a sudden, love
has appeared among us

603
00:51:44,616 --> 00:51:46,520
like a light.

604
00:51:49,620 --> 00:51:52,020
We will marry her.

605
00:51:52,620 --> 00:51:54,598
All the five of us.

606
00:51:54,913 --> 00:51:58,818
Yes. This is how it should be.

607
00:51:59,018 --> 00:52:02,420
Draupadi will have five husbands.

608
00:52:05,961 --> 00:52:09,332
But if she likes one
of us more than another?

609
00:52:09,532 --> 00:52:13,216
If there is one she despises?

610
00:52:13,620 --> 00:52:16,973
If jealousy tears us apart?

611
00:52:17,679 --> 00:52:20,320
What I've said is said.

612
00:52:20,620 --> 00:52:24,961
Destiny slipped into my
words without warning.

613
00:52:25,220 --> 00:52:28,620
Draupadi must be your wife,

614
00:52:29,330 --> 00:52:31,180
and she can be.

615
00:53:32,669 --> 00:53:34,240
Vyasa,

616
00:53:35,220 --> 00:53:38,339
why did my family murder one another?

617
00:53:38,539 --> 00:53:40,966
Because they forgot the essential.

618
00:53:41,820 --> 00:53:43,713
And nothing could save them?

619
00:53:43,913 --> 00:53:45,997
Listen to me...

620
00:53:47,820 --> 00:53:52,670
The worlds swarm on an
infinity of creatures,

621
00:53:52,820 --> 00:53:57,020
those we see...
...those we'll never see.

622
00:53:57,420 --> 00:54:02,299
Naga snakes who live in
the depths of the earth,

623
00:54:02,499 --> 00:54:06,620
Rakshasas, monsters of
the forests of the night

624
00:54:06,820 --> 00:54:09,420
who live off human flesh.

625
00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:13,474
Gandhavas, frail creatures

626
00:54:13,574 --> 00:54:16,387
who fly between us and the sky.

627
00:54:16,487 --> 00:54:19,968
Apasaras, Danavas,

628
00:54:20,168 --> 00:54:21,820
Yakshas,

629
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,720
and the long, glittering chain of gods

630
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:29,986
who live like all beings
in the shadow of death.

631
00:54:31,220 --> 00:54:35,076
Three gods rule the universe,

632
00:54:35,276 --> 00:54:39,120
three, who are also one:

633
00:54:40,620 --> 00:54:44,009
Brahma, the creator,

634
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:47,220
Shiva, the destroyer,

635
00:54:47,620 --> 00:54:51,112
always present when History ends...

636
00:54:51,220 --> 00:54:53,720
The third is Vishnu,

637
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,620
who's quite the reverse.

638
00:54:57,020 --> 00:54:59,320
It's he who maintains the worlds.

639
00:54:59,620 --> 00:55:02,806
It's he who makes them endure.

640
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:07,613
When chaos threatens,
as it does now,

641
00:55:07,813 --> 00:55:10,420
Vishnu takes on a human form

642
00:55:10,820 --> 00:55:14,970
and descends among us to play his role.

643
00:55:15,020 --> 00:55:19,420
Some hint that he might
have come down as Krishna.

644
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:21,620
Is it true?

645
00:55:22,420 --> 00:55:25,375
One can never be sure.

646
00:55:29,820 --> 00:55:32,316
I'm going to see Krishna?

647
00:55:33,420 --> 00:55:35,620
It's his flute I hear.

648
00:55:36,720 --> 00:55:38,520
He's on his way?

649
00:55:39,020 --> 00:55:41,476
Perhaps he's already here.

650
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,220
In what form?

651
00:55:45,620 --> 00:55:48,389
In the form of a man.

652
00:55:49,720 --> 00:55:51,620
Watch carefully.

653
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:58,283
His action is subtle,
mysteriously clear.

654
00:55:58,420 --> 00:56:02,220
At the same instant, they
say he can be everywhere.

655
00:56:02,420 --> 00:56:06,652
Here, there, he's water...

656
00:56:06,852 --> 00:56:09,245
...the trembling of a leaf.

657
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:13,817
He's you. He's fire,

658
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:17,859
he's the heart of all that's invisible.

659
00:56:18,220 --> 00:56:20,738
He's you as well?

660
00:56:24,353 --> 00:56:26,266
Naturally.

661
00:56:57,820 --> 00:57:00,920
Krishna, why have you sent for us?

662
00:57:01,220 --> 00:57:04,520
I heard the earth complain.

663
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:06,720
What did she say?

664
00:57:07,020 --> 00:57:10,520
She said: Men have become arrogant,

665
00:57:10,820 --> 00:57:13,820
every day they give me fresh wounds,

666
00:57:14,220 --> 00:57:15,903
there are more and more of them.

667
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:20,420
They are violent, driven
by thoughts of conquest.

668
00:57:20,820 --> 00:57:25,020
Foolish men trample me. I shudder...

669
00:57:25,420 --> 00:57:28,507
...and I ask myself,
what will they do next?

670
00:57:28,707 --> 00:57:29,977
What can save the earth?

671
00:57:30,177 --> 00:57:32,870
I sent men with huge
ears into the crowd.

672
00:57:33,070 --> 00:57:34,620
This is what they say:

673
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:39,030
The people want a king
who will be calm and just,

674
00:57:39,220 --> 00:57:41,120
a legitimate king.

675
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:43,820
Am I this king?

676
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,033
Who else?

677
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,420
Even if this title is mine,

678
00:57:54,820 --> 00:57:57,120
if I claim it,

679
00:57:57,420 --> 00:58:01,320
my uncle and my cousins
will feel threatened,

680
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,603
they will plunge us into war.

681
00:58:06,220 --> 00:58:09,920
How can you call me a legitimate
king if I condemn the earth

682
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,346
to a horrifying death?

683
00:58:12,546 --> 00:58:15,656
Dhritharashtra calls us his sons,

684
00:58:15,856 --> 00:58:19,866
he should be proud to see one of
his sons on the highest throne.

685
00:58:21,820 --> 00:58:24,312
I'm too unprepared.

686
00:58:24,512 --> 00:58:26,593
I have no desire for the crown.

687
00:58:26,793 --> 00:58:30,337
Destruction never
approaches weapon in hand.

688
00:58:30,537 --> 00:58:32,520
Comes slyly on tiptoe,

689
00:58:32,820 --> 00:58:36,020
making you see bad in
good and good in bad.

690
00:58:36,420 --> 00:58:38,352
Don't deceive yourself.

691
00:58:38,820 --> 00:58:41,420
You are the son of Dharma.

692
00:58:42,620 --> 00:58:45,450
I am your eyes, and your hand.

693
00:58:45,650 --> 00:58:47,576
I'm your neck, and shoulders.

694
00:58:47,776 --> 00:58:50,637
We are your arms and legs.

695
00:58:51,420 --> 00:58:54,742
Resist what resists in you.

696
00:58:55,471 --> 00:58:57,320
Become yourself.

697
00:59:03,820 --> 00:59:05,894
Our youth is over.

698
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:08,984
We will go to the king.

699
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,120
Why did you agree to see them?

700
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:17,552
Do you want to give
them a land of their own?

701
00:59:17,652 --> 00:59:19,891
Cut into pieces what should remain one?

702
00:59:20,767 --> 00:59:23,520
Why treat the Pandavas as your
sons when they are our enemies?

703
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,120
Our natural enemies.

704
00:59:26,420 --> 00:59:28,968
I am guided by Bhishma.

705
00:59:29,168 --> 00:59:31,520
Bhishma has always been on their side.

706
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:33,641
But how could you have noticed it,

707
00:59:33,841 --> 00:59:35,527
you, who see nothing?

708
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:39,720
What should I do?

709
00:59:40,820 --> 00:59:42,120
Tell me.

710
00:59:42,220 --> 00:59:44,320
Regain your calm.

711
00:59:45,220 --> 00:59:47,367
They are here.

712
01:00:10,620 --> 01:00:14,620
My sons, for you are my sons,

713
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,028
welcome to you all.

714
01:00:17,228 --> 01:00:19,527
We come to you as our father.

715
01:00:19,727 --> 01:00:22,940
Greetings, Krishna. I
know you've come with them.

716
01:00:23,140 --> 01:00:25,894
Greetings, Dhritharashtra.

717
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,976
We all respect your wisdom.

718
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:33,416
So that peace can always
shine on our family,

719
01:00:33,616 --> 01:00:36,744
I'm giving away part of my kingdom.

720
01:00:37,438 --> 01:00:41,543
I give you the land
of Khandava-Prashta.

721
01:00:41,743 --> 01:00:43,020
What!

722
01:00:43,220 --> 01:00:45,744
Those stinking bogs?

723
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,077
Those gruesome forests?

724
01:00:48,277 --> 01:00:49,620
Silence, Bhima.

725
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:52,720
I accept,

726
01:00:53,020 --> 01:00:54,620
and I thank you.

727
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,320
Why take charity like a beggar?

728
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:00,770
Yudhishthira, what demon
has invaded your mind?

729
01:01:00,970 --> 01:01:02,101
Calm down.

730
01:01:02,301 --> 01:01:03,420
Why do you go over at their feet?

731
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:07,064
They've only one thought:
throw us out of the kingdom

732
01:01:07,264 --> 01:01:10,420
where our rights are as good as theirs.

733
01:01:10,820 --> 01:01:13,563
And you, you say: "Thank
you, I touch your feet,

734
01:01:13,763 --> 01:01:15,090
"I'm most grateful".

735
01:01:15,290 --> 01:01:17,078
What do you put above justice?

736
01:01:17,278 --> 01:01:19,335
Above our destiny? What?

737
01:01:19,535 --> 01:01:22,099
- Keep calm.
- No! No!

738
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:26,975
Go. Dry up the mashes,

739
01:01:27,175 --> 01:01:30,320
plough the harsh earth that awaits you,

740
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:32,620
build a dazzling city,

741
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:36,611
and throw the universe to it.

742
01:01:57,620 --> 01:02:00,520
We accept and take our leave.

743
01:02:24,820 --> 01:02:26,777
Father, you thought
you have made peace...

744
01:02:26,977 --> 01:02:28,869
...You have lost a war.

745
01:02:32,388 --> 01:02:34,520
We must surprise Bhima and destroy him.

746
01:02:34,820 --> 01:02:37,960
We must separate them
from Krishna by cunning.

747
01:02:38,020 --> 01:02:41,135
They have one wife for five.

748
01:02:41,335 --> 01:02:44,560
Call in experts in erotics and
ask them how to sow jealousy.

749
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,192
Don't despise them Dushassana.

750
01:02:47,392 --> 01:02:49,710
Nothing can separate them from Krishna.

751
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:52,874
No amount of cunning
can bring them down.

752
01:02:53,820 --> 01:02:58,651
If you want to destroy them, accept
so before attack them head on!

753
01:03:01,620 --> 01:03:03,120
I'm your friend.

754
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:07,320
Why are you afraid?

755
01:03:10,591 --> 01:03:11,529
Bhishma...

756
01:03:12,220 --> 01:03:14,556
- Have I done well?
- Yes.

757
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:18,120
The sons of my brother Pandu

758
01:03:18,820 --> 01:03:20,520
are my sons.

759
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:24,853
But in your heart, you
have a secret preference.

760
01:03:25,053 --> 01:03:26,920
So have you, Gandhari.

761
01:03:27,220 --> 01:03:30,297
And when one prefers one's own children

762
01:03:30,497 --> 01:03:34,891
to the children of others, war is near.

763
01:03:38,417 --> 01:03:39,827
Bhishma,

764
01:03:40,820 --> 01:03:42,840
in the event of war,

765
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:45,520
which side will you take?

766
01:03:46,820 --> 01:03:50,544
I will unfortunately be loyal to you.

767
01:03:50,744 --> 01:03:52,320
And you, Drona?

768
01:03:53,478 --> 01:03:56,489
I am at your service.

769
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:22,620
Everything I saw there drives me mad.

770
01:04:23,420 --> 01:04:25,548
Their palace is incomparable.

771
01:04:25,748 --> 01:04:29,089
It was built for them by
Maya, the supreme architect.

772
01:04:29,220 --> 01:04:31,420
It's a palace of illusions,

773
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,303
where thoughts become real.

774
01:04:35,420 --> 01:04:36,769
Arjuna said to me:

775
01:04:36,969 --> 01:04:38,928
Look at the crystal walls,

776
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:42,821
those tricks of
sunlight and golden beams.

777
01:04:43,021 --> 01:04:44,920
And I saw them.

778
01:04:45,220 --> 01:04:48,520
Suddenly I ran into an invisible wall.

779
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:50,820
Arjuna laughed and said:

780
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:52,620
That's Maya's masterpiece.

781
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:55,988
You think of a wall,
and the wall is there.

782
01:04:56,188 --> 01:04:58,720
I go farther. Bhima shouts:

783
01:04:59,020 --> 01:05:02,620
Watch out! There's a
pool in front of you!

784
01:05:03,020 --> 01:05:07,918
A pool? I don't see any
pool, yet my feet are wet.

785
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:12,913
I run, I open a door... There's no door.

786
01:05:13,113 --> 01:05:14,620
I crash into a wall.

787
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:17,220
I hurt myself and Draupadi cries out:

788
01:05:17,820 --> 01:05:22,120
He's blind! Blind father, blind son!

789
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:24,720
Bhima jeered me.

790
01:05:25,020 --> 01:05:26,817
Draupadi laughed.

791
01:05:28,620 --> 01:05:32,924
Her laugh cut me to the heart.

792
01:05:44,566 --> 01:05:45,778
Who is it?

793
01:05:45,978 --> 01:05:48,520
It's Shakuni, your brother.

794
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:50,190
What are you doing here?

795
01:05:50,390 --> 01:05:52,320
I've come to see my nephews.

796
01:05:52,620 --> 01:05:54,620
They are bitter, and restless.

797
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:58,120
Duryodhana, my eldest son,
doesn't eat, doesn't sleep.

798
01:05:58,520 --> 01:05:59,920
Why?

799
01:06:00,220 --> 01:06:04,120
Because I have see all the kings
of the earth surround Yudhishthira,

800
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:07,263
I have seen his people happy,

801
01:06:07,463 --> 01:06:10,959
even the aged, even the children,

802
01:06:12,220 --> 01:06:16,001
Yudhishthira respected, loved...

803
01:06:16,201 --> 01:06:20,220
While I, I love nothing, I am nothing.

804
01:06:20,620 --> 01:06:23,797
There is a way to ruin Yudhishthira,

805
01:06:23,997 --> 01:06:25,860
and I know it.

806
01:06:26,060 --> 01:06:27,220
What are you hatching?

807
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:30,647
Tell me your way.

808
01:06:30,847 --> 01:06:33,620
Yudhishthira has one weakness:

809
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,320
he loves gambling.

810
01:06:37,220 --> 01:06:39,820
Double weakness, because
he loves gambling

811
01:06:40,020 --> 01:06:42,293
and he doesn't know how to play.

812
01:06:42,420 --> 01:06:44,520
Challenge him to a game of dice.

813
01:06:44,820 --> 01:06:47,690
He won't be able to refuse, but I'm here

814
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:51,320
and I know every throw,
every dangerous combination.

815
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:52,694
No one can beat me.

816
01:06:52,894 --> 01:06:56,257
Let me play in your place,
my nephew, and I will win.

817
01:06:57,610 --> 01:07:00,608
- We must play high.
- We'll play high.

818
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:06,748
Dhritharashtra, I greet you!

819
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:11,554
Shakuni? Welcome. What do you want?

820
01:07:11,754 --> 01:07:13,920
To distract your son.

821
01:07:14,220 --> 01:07:19,682
Let us arrange a game of
dice and invite Yudhishthira.

822
01:07:19,820 --> 01:07:21,755
What do you intend to stake?

823
01:07:21,955 --> 01:07:24,220
Whatever he proposes.

824
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:28,905
Gandhari, what do you
think of the game of dice?

825
01:07:29,420 --> 01:07:31,720
Don't touch the game, my son.

826
01:07:32,020 --> 01:07:34,607
You'll find nothing
but love, in this palace.

827
01:07:34,807 --> 01:07:37,292
You are the eldest,
you rule over everyone.

828
01:07:37,492 --> 01:07:39,512
What more do you want?

829
01:07:39,820 --> 01:07:41,782
A man says: I have
enough to eat and wear,

830
01:07:41,982 --> 01:07:44,463
I need nothing more. Shame!

831
01:07:44,663 --> 01:07:46,820
He says: I don't know anger.

832
01:07:47,020 --> 01:07:48,375
Shame!

833
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:54,920
No! I am like a dried-up stream,

834
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,920
like a wooden elephant! All
because my father was born blind,

835
01:07:58,220 --> 01:08:01,520
because one does not give
a throne to a blind man.

836
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:04,220
Calm yourself. Send for your wives.

837
01:08:04,420 --> 01:08:08,120
But I want to be discontented!

838
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:10,920
Dissatisfied!

839
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:14,911
A man's body grows from birth
and everyone is delighted.

840
01:08:15,111 --> 01:08:18,642
In the same way his desire grows,

841
01:08:18,842 --> 01:08:21,720
his desire for power.

842
01:08:22,620 --> 01:08:25,930
I have doubts about myself.

843
01:08:27,420 --> 01:08:30,129
Sometimes, I even question my value.

844
01:08:30,329 --> 01:08:32,198
I must resolve these doubts.

845
01:08:32,398 --> 01:08:34,717
You have a shadow in your mind,

846
01:08:34,917 --> 01:08:37,142
it sweeps you away
with incredible force...

847
01:08:37,342 --> 01:08:41,643
Why? Why refuse a simple game of dice?

848
01:08:42,820 --> 01:08:47,747
The gods created the world as a game...

849
01:08:47,847 --> 01:08:49,720
Insects play with flowers,

850
01:08:50,020 --> 01:08:55,186
the stars dance their
secret patterns in the sky...

851
01:08:55,386 --> 01:09:00,621
Why, Dhritharashtra, must
you always frown on pleasure?

852
01:09:05,474 --> 01:09:08,173
A game of dice has been prepared.

853
01:09:08,373 --> 01:09:10,320
I know. What do you want?

854
01:09:10,620 --> 01:09:15,442
Bhishma, here your
authority is not disputed.

855
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:20,107
If I come like a shadow
to speak with you...

856
01:09:20,307 --> 01:09:22,528
...it is to ask a favour.

857
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:25,920
Whatever you see in
the course of the game,

858
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:31,224
whatever you hear, you must
not interrupt the match.

859
01:09:31,424 --> 01:09:34,020
In no circumstances?

860
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:36,820
In no circumstances.

861
01:09:38,620 --> 01:09:41,920
Wouldn't it be better
to avoid the worst?

862
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:45,758
What is "the worst"?

863
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:48,220
Destruction.

864
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:50,320
Destruction of what?

865
01:09:51,820 --> 01:09:54,150
Of the way of truth,

866
01:09:54,350 --> 01:09:56,620
of the order of the world...

867
01:09:57,120 --> 01:10:02,455
...destruction of
Dharma. That is the worst.

868
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:07,698
And if your race had to be destroyed

869
01:10:07,898 --> 01:10:09,820
so as to save Dharma?

870
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:14,504
Would you be prepared
to sacrifice your race?

871
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:19,186
What is your answer?

872
01:10:25,220 --> 01:10:27,720
That question is with me always,

873
01:10:28,020 --> 01:10:31,216
sharpening my thoughts
and destroying my sleep...

874
01:10:31,416 --> 01:10:34,150
...making my heart pound all night long.

875
01:10:36,020 --> 01:10:39,731
It is why I ask you: do not intervene.

876
01:10:43,820 --> 01:10:47,303
Let each one go to his limit.

877
01:11:55,094 --> 01:11:56,727
Shakuni, it's you
who are going to play?

878
01:11:56,927 --> 01:12:00,780
Yes, I'll play for my nephew.

879
01:12:01,020 --> 01:12:03,080
You spend your life playing.

880
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:06,551
People have seen you
perform unbelievable tricks,

881
01:12:06,751 --> 01:12:08,278
but cheating is a crime.

882
01:12:08,478 --> 01:12:11,374
The powerful player
who knows how to play

883
01:12:11,574 --> 01:12:16,578
and who ponders calmly,
is not worried by cheating.

884
01:12:16,778 --> 01:12:18,930
Here there is no crime,

885
01:12:19,130 --> 01:12:22,820
only the game, nothing but the game.

886
01:12:23,220 --> 01:12:27,220
A seasoned warrior
fights against beginners,

887
01:12:27,620 --> 01:12:29,520
you call that cheating?

888
01:12:30,220 --> 01:12:33,204
Science is not cheating.

889
01:12:33,220 --> 01:12:36,220
You always enter a game
with the wish to win,

890
01:12:36,620 --> 01:12:37,720
that's how life is.

891
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:41,810
No cheat can ever defeat a master.

892
01:12:42,010 --> 01:12:44,969
Withdraw from the
match if you are afraid.

893
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:50,571
You know I cannot refuse
to play once I'm challenged.

894
01:13:10,020 --> 01:13:13,320
I have a gold necklace
and pearls without equal,

895
01:13:13,620 --> 01:13:16,124
churned in the vortex of the ocean.

896
01:13:18,169 --> 01:13:19,975
I play them against you.

897
01:13:38,420 --> 01:13:39,920
I have won.

898
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:47,800
I have gold and jewels locked
in four hundred coffins.

899
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:52,081
I have gold and jewels.
That's not what I want.

900
01:13:52,281 --> 01:13:55,620
I have a hundred thousand female slaves,

901
01:13:55,920 --> 01:14:00,924
young, beautiful, trained
in sixty-four skills.

902
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:20,520
I have won.

903
01:14:23,767 --> 01:14:25,320
Sweet fingered Shakuni,

904
01:14:25,620 --> 01:14:28,220
I have as many male slaves,

905
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:31,802
obedient, adroit,
dressed in the finest silk.

906
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:41,420
I have won.

907
01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:46,620
I have sixteen thousand
chariots with golden shafts.

908
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:52,928
I have won.

909
01:14:53,794 --> 01:14:56,567
My cows, my bulls, my
goats, my elephants.

910
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:02,772
I have won.

911
01:15:02,972 --> 01:15:04,306
My forests!

912
01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:05,720
I've won.

913
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:07,220
My capital.

914
01:15:08,620 --> 01:15:09,720
I've won.

915
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:11,120
- My lands!
- I have won!

916
01:15:11,420 --> 01:15:13,620
- My kingdom! All that I possess!
- Yudhishthira!

917
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,092
Bhishma! Stop the match.

918
01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:21,977
You say nothing?

919
01:15:27,220 --> 01:15:31,391
Yudhishthira, do you
wish to stop the game?

920
01:15:33,820 --> 01:15:38,062
No. Let's proceed.

921
01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:58,120
I have won. I won everything!

922
01:16:23,420 --> 01:16:26,812
Have you still something left?

923
01:16:33,820 --> 01:16:37,344
I still have my brothers
Nakula and Sahadeva,

924
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:41,714
the twins with golden
eyes, sons of Madri.

925
01:16:42,220 --> 01:16:45,020
They are beyond all value.

926
01:16:47,020 --> 01:16:48,966
I play them against you.

927
01:17:06,820 --> 01:17:08,657
I have won.

928
01:17:08,857 --> 01:17:11,413
Madri's sons are ours.

929
01:17:17,953 --> 01:17:20,427
I still have Arjuna,

930
01:17:21,420 --> 01:17:23,539
he who can never lose,

931
01:17:23,739 --> 01:17:25,448
Krishna's friend.

932
01:17:26,020 --> 01:17:28,517
When he plucks the chord
of his bow Ghandiva,

933
01:17:28,717 --> 01:17:30,907
every living creature trembles.

934
01:17:31,074 --> 01:17:33,504
He's as precious to me as my life.

935
01:17:36,220 --> 01:17:38,820
I now play him against you.

936
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:15,876
I have won.

937
01:18:29,220 --> 01:18:31,392
I still have Bhima.

938
01:18:32,354 --> 01:18:35,932
Built like a lion, the mightiest of men.

939
01:18:36,820 --> 01:18:40,044
He is strength itself.

940
01:18:42,736 --> 01:18:45,128
I play him against you.

941
01:18:55,256 --> 01:18:57,457
I have won!

942
01:19:23,020 --> 01:19:26,313
Have you still something left?

943
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:33,899
You've all my brothers,
I remained alone.

944
01:19:36,220 --> 01:19:38,441
I stake myself,

945
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:42,416
Yudhishthira.

946
01:19:43,220 --> 01:19:44,840
I play myself.

947
01:20:09,941 --> 01:20:11,878
I have won.

948
01:20:12,820 --> 01:20:17,037
And nothing is worse
than to lose oneself,

949
01:20:17,237 --> 01:20:19,620
for when one loses everything

950
01:20:20,020 --> 01:20:23,946
freedom is the only wealth that remains.

951
01:20:42,070 --> 01:20:46,591
But you have one last possession

952
01:20:46,791 --> 01:20:49,115
- and you forget it.
- What?

953
01:20:49,315 --> 01:20:50,529
You possess a wife,

954
01:20:50,729 --> 01:20:52,952
she's the only treasure I have not won.

955
01:20:53,152 --> 01:20:57,419
Stake Draupadi, and win back
everything thanks to her.

956
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:02,757
She's a woman who's neither
too short nor too tall,

957
01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:07,858
neither pale nor dark,

958
01:21:10,020 --> 01:21:14,312
she's the earth's most perfect creation,

959
01:21:15,420 --> 01:21:19,333
and the pool of all men's desire.

960
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:25,920
I play her against you.

961
01:21:28,020 --> 01:21:29,298
Draupadi...

962
01:21:31,001 --> 01:21:32,312
What do you want?

963
01:21:32,412 --> 01:21:34,320
You're requested to come to the palace.

964
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:36,620
Who requests me? Why?

965
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:39,120
Because Yudhishthira has lost you.

966
01:21:39,320 --> 01:21:41,220
What do you mean, he has lost me?

967
01:21:41,420 --> 01:21:43,420
He has lost you at dice.

968
01:21:45,079 --> 01:21:46,782
Had he nothing else to play?

969
01:21:46,982 --> 01:21:50,092
He played all he had, and lost it all.

970
01:21:50,292 --> 01:21:52,520
He even played and lost himself.

971
01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:55,532
- He lost himself?
- That's what I say.

972
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:04,112
Before losing me, or after?

973
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:06,738
Before losing you.

974
01:22:09,220 --> 01:22:11,920
Return to the hall and ask him this:

975
01:22:12,220 --> 01:22:16,492
Is it true that you lost
yourself first, before losing me?

976
01:22:16,692 --> 01:22:20,048
And if you yourself were lost,
had you the right to play me?

977
01:22:20,248 --> 01:22:24,320
You were staked and
lost. You're ours. Come!

978
01:22:24,820 --> 01:22:26,820
Allow me to dress.

979
01:22:28,020 --> 01:22:30,120
I've only one robe and
it is stained in blood.

980
01:22:30,420 --> 01:22:34,024
I'm in my period, don't show
me in this state to the kings.

981
01:22:34,224 --> 01:22:36,220
Who cares? We have won you at dice.

982
01:22:36,420 --> 01:22:40,426
You are now no more than
a slave. Enough! Come!

983
01:22:58,420 --> 01:23:00,420
Here is the new servant.

984
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:18,725
There is not a breath of
life in Bhishma and Drona?

985
01:23:18,925 --> 01:23:22,269
They see this shame and they do nothing!

986
01:23:23,620 --> 01:23:26,656
Yudhishthira, did you
have the right to lose me?

987
01:23:26,856 --> 01:23:30,291
If you lost yourself first before
playing me, I was no longer yours!

988
01:23:31,420 --> 01:23:35,320
Can one belong to someone
who has lost himself?

989
01:23:36,220 --> 01:23:37,920
Bhishma, answer me!

990
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:42,894
I'm troubled. The question is obscure.

991
01:23:43,094 --> 01:23:44,820
When Yudhishthira made this wager

992
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:47,520
he had already lost himself,

993
01:23:47,820 --> 01:23:50,820
so he could not play his wife.

994
01:23:51,019 --> 01:23:52,289
Error.

995
01:23:52,714 --> 01:23:56,612
She was designated by name
and well and truly won.

996
01:23:56,820 --> 01:24:01,375
Draupadi satisfies five men.
She's clearly public property.

997
01:24:01,576 --> 01:24:03,920
Whether he lost her before or after,

998
01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:08,372
I don't see the difference.
Draupadi has been won.

999
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:13,620
I regret to have to
say it, but it is so.

1000
01:24:13,869 --> 01:24:15,908
Everything has been won.

1001
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:21,720
Their clothes. Down to the last clasp.

1002
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:57,019
And Draupadi as well.

1003
01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:01,120
We want to see her naked.

1004
01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:08,259
Dushassana, take off her robe.

1005
01:25:08,459 --> 01:25:09,620
Listen to what I say!

1006
01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:12,020
When the battle comes,

1007
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:15,530
I will smash Dushassana's chest

1008
01:25:15,730 --> 01:25:18,720
and I'll drink his
blood. I swear I will!

1009
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:21,920
I will eat his guts,
and I'll drink his blood!

1010
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:26,664
Don't bellow. You
only frighten the flies.

1011
01:25:44,420 --> 01:25:45,861
Krishna...

1012
01:25:58,020 --> 01:25:59,220
- Krishna...
- Silence...

1013
01:25:59,420 --> 01:26:00,120
Watch!

1014
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:05,795
A miracle is taking
place under our eyes.

1015
01:26:05,995 --> 01:26:07,820
It's a prodigy of Krishna.

1016
01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:12,920
A prodigy?

1017
01:26:13,220 --> 01:26:14,820
Where is your prodigy?

1018
01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:18,220
She's wearing layers
and layers of cloth.

1019
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:35,810
Stop, Dushassana. Let her go.

1020
01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:52,420
Take her away, put her with the
slaves. Let her scrape the dishes!

1021
01:26:52,620 --> 01:26:56,453
Let me go. Where is Dharma?

1022
01:26:56,653 --> 01:26:58,520
I see nothing clearly.

1023
01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:01,320
Draupadi, your new masters are here.

1024
01:27:01,620 --> 01:27:03,220
- Choose a new husband.
- Karna!

1025
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:06,807
And you hold your tongue. You
don't own yourself anymore.

1026
01:27:07,007 --> 01:27:09,520
You haven't even the right to be angry.

1027
01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:13,233
Draupadi, you want another man.

1028
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:15,420
Look at my thigh.

1029
01:27:25,183 --> 01:27:28,844
Duryodhana, Dushassana
and all your brothers...

1030
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:33,620
and you Karna, and you
also Shakuni, you are lost.

1031
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:37,129
A savage death will
drag you to the ground.

1032
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:42,498
Dushassana, my hair will
stay unbound till your death.

1033
01:27:42,698 --> 01:27:44,274
I will wash my hair in your blood.

1034
01:27:44,474 --> 01:27:48,686
And you, Duryodhana, death
will strike you in the thigh.

1035
01:27:59,020 --> 01:28:00,553
A jackal cried.

1036
01:28:00,753 --> 01:28:03,498
Yes, near the temple.

1037
01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:12,823
Draupadi...

1038
01:28:13,820 --> 01:28:18,020
Choose a favour. Whatever
you wish, and I will grant it.

1039
01:28:18,420 --> 01:28:20,091
What do you choose?

1040
01:28:23,620 --> 01:28:25,820
That Yudhishthira be free.

1041
01:28:26,620 --> 01:28:31,842
Yes, he is free. But you
deserve a second favour. Choose.

1042
01:28:32,042 --> 01:28:37,020
That Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula
and Sahadeva be free.

1043
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:43,232
They are free. But you deserve
a third favour. Choose.

1044
01:28:43,432 --> 01:28:45,320
I don't want a third favour.

1045
01:28:45,620 --> 01:28:46,720
Why?

1046
01:28:47,020 --> 01:28:51,346
Because greed devours all
beings and is Dharma's ruin.

1047
01:28:51,546 --> 01:28:54,959
I refuse greed. Save my husbands.

1048
01:28:55,159 --> 01:28:57,120
You ask nothing for yourself?

1049
01:28:57,420 --> 01:29:01,419
I want nothing. Above all no favour.

1050
01:29:01,619 --> 01:29:04,620
Her husbands were drowning...

1051
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:08,320
Draupadi is the raft that saves them.

1052
01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:10,220
Have no fear, Yudhishthira.

1053
01:29:10,420 --> 01:29:13,220
Go towards happiness,

1054
01:29:14,220 --> 01:29:18,243
Take back your clothes
and leave in freedom.

1055
01:29:31,420 --> 01:29:33,520
Don't let them go, otherwise it's war.

1056
01:29:33,820 --> 01:29:36,778
We've humiliated Draupadi,
they can never forgive us.

1057
01:29:37,220 --> 01:29:40,720
They want to recover everything,
they are already preparing a massacre.

1058
01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:45,031
Call them back. Let's
play a final round.

1059
01:29:45,418 --> 01:29:48,828
Father, call them back. They
are marching towards our death.

1060
01:29:50,220 --> 01:29:53,520
Yes, call them back.

1061
01:29:59,620 --> 01:30:03,977
My son is right. Better
a game than the war.

1062
01:30:05,420 --> 01:30:07,660
- One moment!
- What do you want?

1063
01:30:07,860 --> 01:30:11,120
You're recalled for a final
match. The whole is ready.

1064
01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:13,152
You hesitate...

1065
01:30:13,820 --> 01:30:16,120
What does this call of destiny conceal?

1066
01:30:16,420 --> 01:30:18,560
Leave the destiny alone.

1067
01:30:18,856 --> 01:30:22,604
We need to make ourselves strong,
to recover our possessions...

1068
01:30:22,920 --> 01:30:24,095
Come.

1069
01:30:28,410 --> 01:30:29,420
You said the whole is ready?

1070
01:30:29,620 --> 01:30:32,572
Yes, for the final round.

1071
01:30:32,820 --> 01:30:36,093
With one throw you can win
back your wealth, your kingdom

1072
01:30:36,293 --> 01:30:39,243
and more besides. With one throw.

1073
01:30:39,805 --> 01:30:41,520
Leave this place.

1074
01:30:42,020 --> 01:30:44,226
Yudhishthira you're in a
dream, it leads to darkness.

1075
01:30:44,426 --> 01:30:45,320
Come with us.

1076
01:30:45,620 --> 01:30:47,591
- No, I must play.
- Why?

1077
01:30:47,791 --> 01:30:50,692
I can't refuse my rivals
a last chance of salvation.

1078
01:30:50,892 --> 01:30:51,920
What are you saying?

1079
01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:56,220
Shakuni condemns to death
those who asked him to cheat.

1080
01:30:57,020 --> 01:31:00,920
I repeat: I can't deny them
a last chance of salvation.

1081
01:31:03,320 --> 01:31:04,690
I follow you.

1082
01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:28,420
We will play one single
throw. Listen carefully...

1083
01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:30,120
If we lose,

1084
01:31:30,837 --> 01:31:34,936
we will spend twelve years in exile,

1085
01:31:35,136 --> 01:31:39,339
clothed in rags, and the thirteenth
year in an unknown place,

1086
01:31:39,539 --> 01:31:41,754
hidden and disguised.

1087
01:31:41,954 --> 01:31:46,220
If during the course of the
thirteenth year we are discovered,

1088
01:31:46,620 --> 01:31:49,220
we will spend a further
twelve years in exile.

1089
01:31:49,620 --> 01:31:52,920
If you lose, the exile is yours.

1090
01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:55,420
At the end of the thirteenth year,

1091
01:31:55,720 --> 01:32:00,514
either you or we, will
regain the kingdom.

1092
01:32:00,714 --> 01:32:01,720
Let's play.

1093
01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:03,120
All our treasure...

1094
01:32:03,420 --> 01:32:07,020
All our women, all our lands,

1095
01:32:07,420 --> 01:32:12,896
all our herds, against
exile in the wilderness.

1096
01:32:13,120 --> 01:32:14,804
Let's play.

1097
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:42,616
They have lost. The Pandavas!

1098
01:32:43,707 --> 01:32:49,540
They thought they were on top of the world,
and now they are rejected and cast out.

1099
01:32:53,020 --> 01:32:56,220
Draupadi, choose a husband amongst us.

1100
01:32:56,520 --> 01:33:00,777
One day, I will remind you of your words

1101
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:04,720
and I'll drink your blood, vile swine!

1102
01:33:05,020 --> 01:33:08,567
- The big beast, the fat cow!
- Dushassana!

1103
01:33:09,286 --> 01:33:11,620
I will open your belly,

1104
01:33:12,006 --> 01:33:15,320
and Arjuna will kill Karna.

1105
01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:19,479
Yes, I will kill Karna.

1106
01:33:19,679 --> 01:33:21,663
I said so and I will do it.

1107
01:33:21,863 --> 01:33:24,920
I will always be ahead of you.

1108
01:33:26,220 --> 01:33:28,420
Don't forget...

1109
01:33:29,298 --> 01:33:33,220
Take your bow with you, and practise.

1110
01:33:33,620 --> 01:33:36,575
- I won't forget.
- Each day,

1111
01:33:37,047 --> 01:33:39,110
I will think of your death.

1112
01:33:39,310 --> 01:33:43,220
Death? Karna, each of
your thought, each breath

1113
01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:45,820
brings you nearer to death.

1114
01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:50,825
I made a vow. I'll say no more.

1115
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:18,120
Starving, naked...

1116
01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:21,320
...what will you live of in the desert?

1117
01:34:32,441 --> 01:34:34,853
- Vyasa?
- I'm here.

1118
01:34:38,420 --> 01:34:40,807
Describe their departure.

1119
01:34:41,020 --> 01:34:45,817
They walk barefoot. The whole
city watches them in silence.

1120
01:34:46,017 --> 01:34:48,260
Yudhishthira walks ahead,

1121
01:34:48,460 --> 01:34:53,474
then comes Bhima, with staring
eyes fixed on his two arms.

1122
01:34:53,674 --> 01:34:58,120
With each step he takes,
Arjuna stirs up clouds of sand.

1123
01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:02,615
Sahadeva and Nakula are
soiled with dust and mud

1124
01:35:02,815 --> 01:35:04,413
from head to foot.

1125
01:35:05,220 --> 01:35:10,090
Draupadi is last, her head
bowed towards the ground.

1126
01:35:10,290 --> 01:35:14,086
Why? What do these attitudes mean?

1127
01:35:14,286 --> 01:35:19,506
Bhima is contracting his arms, the
most powerful arms in the world.

1128
01:35:19,920 --> 01:35:22,586
In the grains of sand he scatters,

1129
01:35:22,786 --> 01:35:26,420
Arjuna sees a thousand arrows fly.

1130
01:35:26,920 --> 01:35:28,915
The twins hide their beauty,

1131
01:35:29,115 --> 01:35:31,553
so that no woman would
be tempted to follow.

1132
01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:33,120
And Draupadi murmurs,

1133
01:35:33,972 --> 01:35:36,868
in her bloodstained robe:

1134
01:35:37,620 --> 01:35:40,720
"One day we will see widows,

1135
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:45,995
"their children dead,
their hair unbound,

1136
01:35:46,195 --> 01:35:48,820
"on the day of their period,

1137
01:35:49,020 --> 01:35:54,020
"honouring cold corpses
with their cries."

1138
01:35:54,220 --> 01:35:56,411
I can't see them anymore.

1
00:00:16,785 --> 00:00:20,950
EXILE IN THE FOREST

2
00:00:26,054 --> 00:00:27,535
Bhima!

3
00:00:29,050 --> 00:00:30,950
Where is Bhima?

4
00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:34,750
I'm looking for Bhima!

5
00:00:36,350 --> 00:00:37,750
Where is he?

6
00:00:39,361 --> 00:00:41,237
Bhima!

7
00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:47,450
I'm looking for Bhima.

8
00:00:50,250 --> 00:00:52,619
I'm looking for Bhima. Where is he?

9
00:00:52,819 --> 00:00:54,423
I am Bhima!

10
00:00:57,450 --> 00:00:58,687
What do you want?

11
00:00:58,887 --> 00:01:00,780
I was told I would
find you in the forest,

12
00:01:00,980 --> 00:01:03,494
and that you are the
strongest man in the world.

13
00:01:03,694 --> 00:01:04,430
It's true!

14
00:01:04,630 --> 00:01:05,450
You must fight for me.

15
00:01:05,650 --> 00:01:06,750
Against whom?

16
00:01:07,050 --> 00:01:08,950
Against an old man,

17
00:01:09,250 --> 00:01:13,816
a proud and ferocious
old man. Against Bhishma!

18
00:01:17,531 --> 00:01:18,946
Bhishma?

19
00:01:19,150 --> 00:01:21,850
Impossible. I love and respect him.

20
00:01:22,150 --> 00:01:24,633
No one would risk himself against him.

21
00:01:24,833 --> 00:01:27,619
He can only die if he wishes for death.

22
00:01:27,819 --> 00:01:29,046
He's invincible.

23
00:01:29,246 --> 00:01:30,918
Who are you?

24
00:01:31,150 --> 00:01:34,766
I am Amba. Because of Bhishma...

25
00:01:34,966 --> 00:01:37,713
...long ago, the world rejected me.

26
00:01:37,913 --> 00:01:39,603
You are really Amba?

27
00:01:44,050 --> 00:01:46,950
It was more than forty years ago.

28
00:01:47,250 --> 00:01:50,250
Hate keeps me young.

29
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:52,991
I only live to kill Bhishma.

30
00:01:53,191 --> 00:01:54,556
I swore it,

31
00:01:54,756 --> 00:01:58,350
but all the men to whom
I turn, even you Bhima...

32
00:01:59,550 --> 00:02:02,541
...you all tell me he can't be killed.

33
00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:07,204
Nonetheless, I will kill him.

34
00:02:08,750 --> 00:02:11,650
To find the moment that ends his life,

35
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:16,174
I have all eternity.

36
00:02:16,250 --> 00:02:20,060
Rest. Free yourself
from this wish to kill.

37
00:02:20,260 --> 00:02:24,211
Why do you always propose
peace, forgiveness?

38
00:02:25,250 --> 00:02:27,275
Amba, don't only search in this world,

39
00:02:27,475 --> 00:02:30,380
pray to the demigods,
call upon invisible forces.

40
00:02:30,580 --> 00:02:32,642
For forty years I've
been searching everywhere.

41
00:02:32,842 --> 00:02:34,926
No force can outwit death.

42
00:02:35,126 --> 00:02:38,429
Except death itself.

43
00:02:40,850 --> 00:02:42,050
Who spoke?

44
00:02:43,850 --> 00:02:46,116
Who said "Except death itself"?

45
00:02:52,859 --> 00:02:56,044
How can death outwit death?

46
00:02:57,150 --> 00:03:01,624
Explain. Don't leave me in this void.

47
00:03:19,650 --> 00:03:21,825
Amba, would you like to eat?

48
00:03:22,025 --> 00:03:24,435
I only eat what the wind brings.

49
00:03:24,750 --> 00:03:26,589
I never sleep.

50
00:03:32,150 --> 00:03:36,148
All my life I walk and question.

51
00:03:36,348 --> 00:03:38,039
I need nothing.

52
00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:59,650
Someone is laughing at us.

53
00:03:59,950 --> 00:04:01,150
What are you saying?

54
00:04:01,450 --> 00:04:05,350
A magician makes us
blind, he's torturing us.

55
00:04:08,050 --> 00:04:09,050
What magician?

56
00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:10,550
We had a kingdom...

57
00:04:10,850 --> 00:04:13,450
...or did I dream it?

58
00:04:18,250 --> 00:04:21,850
I was dragged in front of all the
men, clothed in a single robe...

59
00:04:22,050 --> 00:04:23,824
...stained in my own blood.

60
00:04:24,024 --> 00:04:26,690
The sight of a woman made men laugh.

61
00:04:26,890 --> 00:04:28,350
My husbands were there.

62
00:04:28,650 --> 00:04:32,198
I needed their aid, and
Duryodhana is still alive!

63
00:04:32,350 --> 00:04:35,909
I despise your strength.

64
00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:40,950
I have another question.

65
00:04:41,150 --> 00:04:43,969
You are just, you only
speak words of truth.

66
00:04:44,169 --> 00:04:46,250
How did you allow the
game take hold of you?

67
00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:48,950
How did you agree to
play to lose everything?

68
00:04:49,250 --> 00:04:51,050
Your brothers, your wife...

69
00:04:51,650 --> 00:04:54,429
Yudhishthira, I don't understand.

70
00:04:55,450 --> 00:04:58,605
Sometimes I tell myself
that a man is nothing!

71
00:04:58,805 --> 00:05:02,909
He has his nature imposed upon
him. Nothing comes from himself.

72
00:05:03,450 --> 00:05:07,150
All that we do, all that
we think, is just a game,

73
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:11,985
just moving shadows. Yes, I suspect
a magician. Destiny is vicious...

74
00:05:12,185 --> 00:05:15,955
...and he plays tricks with us.
Even the Creator takes sides.

75
00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:17,865
I condemn him.

76
00:05:18,065 --> 00:05:20,640
I have the same questions
as you, Draupadi.

77
00:05:21,350 --> 00:05:26,319
Why is this act rewarded and
this one not? No one can answer.

78
00:05:27,450 --> 00:05:29,363
It's the secret of all time.

79
00:05:29,650 --> 00:05:31,658
But whether there is a reward or not,

80
00:05:31,858 --> 00:05:35,522
with all my strength
I do what I must do.

81
00:05:36,350 --> 00:05:38,343
That is my Dharma.

82
00:05:38,750 --> 00:05:41,709
Without this obligation,
nothing would be stable anymore

83
00:05:41,909 --> 00:05:45,393
and the world would lose
its honour in darkness.

84
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,700
I have more than love for you.

85
00:05:57,613 --> 00:05:59,600
I have respect,

86
00:06:00,300 --> 00:06:02,921
since the very first day.

87
00:06:03,450 --> 00:06:06,848
But something in your heart
eludes me and sucks my strength.

88
00:06:07,048 --> 00:06:10,450
...A man who doesn't know why
he's alive? Where is his will?

89
00:06:10,850 --> 00:06:15,450
What hope sustains him?
Happiness is for a man who acts!

90
00:06:15,650 --> 00:06:19,380
And if silence were necessary
for the harmony of the world?

91
00:06:19,550 --> 00:06:20,950
Silence...

92
00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:24,550
Solitude...

93
00:06:25,050 --> 00:06:26,636
Thought.

94
00:06:29,650 --> 00:06:34,680
Rise! Take up your weapons!
Don't leave us in this wilderness!

95
00:06:40,464 --> 00:06:41,918
Yudhishthira...

96
00:06:43,150 --> 00:06:47,336
Yudhishthira, we all want
what is good. That's natural.

97
00:06:47,650 --> 00:06:50,458
Money, for example, wealth...

98
00:06:50,650 --> 00:06:54,388
...all the abundance of
the earth. That's good...

99
00:06:54,588 --> 00:06:56,902
...that's excellent.

100
00:06:57,102 --> 00:07:01,250
And love, that's delicious.

101
00:07:01,750 --> 00:07:04,846
Sometimes, it's divine.

102
00:07:05,046 --> 00:07:06,650
But I say, my brother,

103
00:07:06,950 --> 00:07:10,450
there's nothing like love. It's honey.

104
00:07:10,950 --> 00:07:16,140
It's a bliss. Love well
made can lead to wisdom.

105
00:07:17,550 --> 00:07:21,050
You, you know Dharma better than anyone.

106
00:07:21,450 --> 00:07:25,250
But wealth? You will
hold out a begging bowl

107
00:07:25,650 --> 00:07:28,450
and enjoy wealth? And love?

108
00:07:28,750 --> 00:07:32,924
You will sit alone in
a bush and enjoy love?

109
00:07:33,124 --> 00:07:37,950
Get up! You must protect
the earth! That's the truth!

110
00:07:38,169 --> 00:07:41,526
Yudhishthira, you can't
answer lies with silence.

111
00:07:41,726 --> 00:07:45,550
Our kingdom, and our power,
are in the hands of a thief.

112
00:07:45,850 --> 00:07:48,850
Yudhishthira, rise!

113
00:07:57,950 --> 00:08:01,601
I have promised to spend
thirteen years in exile,

114
00:08:02,217 --> 00:08:04,356
and I will keep my promise.

115
00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:09,850
At the end of thirteen years, if Duryodhana
refuses to give us back our kingdom...

116
00:08:10,529 --> 00:08:12,308
...and he will refuse...

117
00:08:12,801 --> 00:08:17,095
...then I will be as
resolute as you are.

118
00:08:21,150 --> 00:08:23,238
One day, Draupadi,

119
00:08:24,250 --> 00:08:28,958
wolves and birds will laugh
while eating our enemies' flesh,

120
00:08:29,451 --> 00:08:33,541
the flesh of those who laughed when
they saw you played for and lost.

121
00:08:34,059 --> 00:08:36,011
One day,

122
00:08:36,650 --> 00:08:39,750
in twelve years, when the time is ripe.

123
00:08:40,050 --> 00:08:41,660
But not before.

124
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:56,667
Bhima...

125
00:09:00,066 --> 00:09:04,186
- Why do you embrace me?
- Because I'm going. Nakula, Sahadeva...

126
00:09:05,332 --> 00:09:09,250
My arms are idle, my will
grows weaker every day.

127
00:09:09,450 --> 00:09:11,741
- I can't wait here any longer.
- Where are you going?

128
00:09:11,941 --> 00:09:13,950
Somewhere in the north
there are weapons.

129
00:09:14,250 --> 00:09:17,650
I'm going to find them, as those
we have will not be sufficient.

130
00:09:17,950 --> 00:09:18,850
Where are these weapons?

131
00:09:19,150 --> 00:09:21,050
Humans do not know them.

132
00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:23,950
They are buried deep in the mountains.

133
00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:27,250
They say that to obtain them
you must forget everything,

134
00:09:27,550 --> 00:09:31,658
even your body, even
your life. I'm ready.

135
00:09:32,150 --> 00:09:36,422
I'm going because ever since
childhood I've been marked for war,

136
00:09:37,188 --> 00:09:42,288
and I know now that one day this
war will come and I will lead it.

137
00:09:42,750 --> 00:09:47,050
I know it. I won't miss out my life.

138
00:10:10,049 --> 00:10:11,770
How long before seeing you?

139
00:10:11,970 --> 00:10:15,593
I don't know. I've said all I know.

140
00:10:22,217 --> 00:10:24,029
I will be back.

141
00:11:04,222 --> 00:11:05,574
Duryodhana!

142
00:11:06,609 --> 00:11:08,765
Yes. What?

143
00:11:18,161 --> 00:11:20,687
My dreams are poisoning me.

144
00:11:22,250 --> 00:11:25,799
I have seen Yudhishthira
and his brothers

145
00:11:25,999 --> 00:11:30,282
clutching winged demons
and swarming towards us.

146
00:11:30,581 --> 00:11:33,767
Bhima had red teeth.

147
00:11:33,250 --> 00:11:37,686
Blood streamed from
his mouth and he cried:

148
00:11:37,950 --> 00:11:40,450
"You dragged my wife by the hair!

149
00:11:40,750 --> 00:11:44,663
"I will tear open your
belly, I will eat your guts!"

150
00:11:46,550 --> 00:11:47,950
Calm down.

151
00:11:51,650 --> 00:11:53,318
Give me your hands.

152
00:11:54,250 --> 00:11:56,764
Our enemies are growing stronger.

153
00:11:57,209 --> 00:12:01,381
We must attack them now.
We must destroy them!

154
00:12:01,581 --> 00:12:04,492
Otherwise, very soon
it will be too late.

155
00:12:05,792 --> 00:12:09,331
Dushassana, my brother,
their exile protects them.

156
00:12:10,950 --> 00:12:14,293
The game they lost protects them.

157
00:12:15,950 --> 00:12:18,195
I'm bound by its rules.

158
00:12:18,395 --> 00:12:22,898
Yes, but the Pandavas are
stamping the rules into dust.

159
00:12:23,098 --> 00:12:25,677
They are preparing for a war.

160
00:12:26,950 --> 00:12:30,150
You must preserve your empire.

161
00:12:30,650 --> 00:12:33,129
You must kill them.

162
00:12:36,350 --> 00:12:38,331
Announce a hunt.

163
00:12:38,650 --> 00:12:42,836
You can say they died in an
accident. I will help you.

164
00:12:46,250 --> 00:12:48,450
I hear breathing. Who is that?

165
00:12:48,750 --> 00:12:51,250
Your sons. I'm with Dushassana.

166
00:12:51,550 --> 00:12:53,250
Up so early?

167
00:12:55,350 --> 00:12:57,150
We're preparing a hunt.

168
00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:58,687
What prey?

169
00:12:59,550 --> 00:13:03,236
- Stag, fowl...
- Boar.

170
00:13:03,436 --> 00:13:06,750
I know your voices.
What's disturbing you?

171
00:13:06,950 --> 00:13:09,914
- A bad night.
- Yes.

172
00:13:10,750 --> 00:13:14,228
We wonder through the
palace from room to room.

173
00:13:14,428 --> 00:13:16,450
Even sleep's been banished.

174
00:13:16,750 --> 00:13:18,750
All the time I think of them.

175
00:13:19,150 --> 00:13:23,350
Out there, miserable, wretched,
ravaged by fever, pining for the past...

176
00:13:23,750 --> 00:13:25,449
I think of nothing else.

177
00:13:25,885 --> 00:13:27,941
I spend all my nights with them.

178
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:35,589
I see them in the dark, close
to me like shadows, but strong.

179
00:13:36,546 --> 00:13:38,758
Stronger and stronger.

180
00:13:40,228 --> 00:13:42,850
Exile strengthens them, I know it.

181
00:13:43,050 --> 00:13:45,166
Friends and allies are gathering

182
00:13:45,366 --> 00:13:48,750
and stoking arms. All
they speak of is my death.

183
00:13:48,972 --> 00:13:52,355
My son, your reign is a good reign.

184
00:13:52,555 --> 00:13:54,435
Don't let your anguish destroy it.

185
00:13:54,635 --> 00:13:58,613
If my reign is a good
reign, where is your sleep?

186
00:14:01,250 --> 00:14:06,447
Power is brief. Yes, I'm disturbed,

187
00:14:06,950 --> 00:14:08,709
anguished.

188
00:14:13,108 --> 00:14:14,717
He's right.

189
00:14:15,650 --> 00:14:20,862
You have given him your power because
you can't rule the world in the dark.

190
00:14:21,150 --> 00:14:25,499
Well, if your son is
your king, let him rule.

191
00:14:25,699 --> 00:14:30,250
Trust him, and stop pacing
through the palace all night long.

192
00:14:30,650 --> 00:14:34,450
His heart is blind, and
he attracts disaster.

193
00:14:34,850 --> 00:14:38,250
If danger is approaching
the Pandavas in the forest,

194
00:14:38,650 --> 00:14:42,561
warn them, send them a secret message.

195
00:14:42,761 --> 00:14:47,909
No, I can't betray my son. No, not that!

196
00:15:03,250 --> 00:15:06,550
Hidimbi, my sister,
I think I'm dreaming.

197
00:15:06,750 --> 00:15:12,276
Yes! I smell human flesh!

198
00:15:12,476 --> 00:15:13,603
Look!

199
00:15:17,850 --> 00:15:21,567
Bring me their corpses. Hurry!

200
00:15:23,650 --> 00:15:27,618
When we have eaten, we'll
dance in the moonlight!

201
00:15:44,029 --> 00:15:45,807
Who are you...

202
00:15:46,660 --> 00:15:48,383
...you I see?

203
00:15:48,850 --> 00:15:53,071
Bhima. And who are you, you I don't see?

204
00:15:53,271 --> 00:15:55,280
My name is Hidimbi.

205
00:15:56,216 --> 00:16:00,148
This forest is my kingdom.

206
00:16:00,807 --> 00:16:04,092
- You are a Rakshasi?
- Yes.

207
00:16:04,292 --> 00:16:06,815
- Show yourself!
- No! I don't want to!

208
00:16:07,015 --> 00:16:08,050
Why?

209
00:16:08,350 --> 00:16:10,371
I'm not what humans like.

210
00:16:10,571 --> 00:16:12,785
I'm black and hairy, and I stink!

211
00:16:12,985 --> 00:16:15,599
- I want to see you!
- No, wait!

212
00:16:17,907 --> 00:16:23,223
First I must give myself the face
and the body of a gorgeous woman.

213
00:16:23,550 --> 00:16:25,381
You can do that?

214
00:16:28,116 --> 00:16:29,787
Look!

215
00:16:38,429 --> 00:16:43,873
- You find me beautiful?
- Like the night.

216
00:16:44,433 --> 00:16:47,050
Then tell me where you come from,

217
00:16:47,350 --> 00:16:49,250
splendid young man.

218
00:16:49,550 --> 00:16:51,350
Tell me how you live, what you do.

219
00:16:51,650 --> 00:16:53,050
I watch.

220
00:16:53,350 --> 00:16:56,750
This forest is ruled by
a terrifying Rakshasa,

221
00:16:57,050 --> 00:17:01,186
my brother, who sent
me to take your life.

222
00:17:01,850 --> 00:17:05,799
But at the sight of you
love grasped my soul.

223
00:17:05,999 --> 00:17:09,587
You bewitched me. I love
you, I can't kill you.

224
00:17:09,750 --> 00:17:11,950
Love me as I love you and be my husband.

225
00:17:12,350 --> 00:17:16,391
I fly in the air, I do what
I please. I will save you.

226
00:17:18,901 --> 00:17:22,387
I can't be your husband.
I already have a wife.

227
00:17:22,587 --> 00:17:24,322
- Where is she?
- There.

228
00:17:28,077 --> 00:17:30,574
But she's sleeping beside another man!

229
00:17:31,127 --> 00:17:33,328
- Who is he?
- He's my brother.

230
00:17:33,528 --> 00:17:34,950
He's also her husband.

231
00:17:35,250 --> 00:17:37,450
She has two husbands?

232
00:17:37,750 --> 00:17:38,850
She has five.

233
00:17:39,150 --> 00:17:44,076
Five? And you refuse to
make me your second wife?

234
00:17:44,672 --> 00:17:47,225
What's this riddle? I don't understand!

235
00:17:48,350 --> 00:17:51,050
I hear him! He's running
towards us! Quick!

236
00:17:51,350 --> 00:17:52,550
All of you, jump on my back!

237
00:17:52,850 --> 00:17:54,450
I'll carry you far from here!

238
00:17:54,650 --> 00:17:56,250
You don't know him, he's wild!

239
00:17:56,550 --> 00:18:00,350
Hidimbi, I've absolutely
no fear of your brother.

240
00:18:00,850 --> 00:18:03,750
Don't look down on me
because I'm just a man!

241
00:18:12,050 --> 00:18:14,855
Hidimbi, it's disgusting!

242
00:18:15,055 --> 00:18:18,750
You look like a woman,
you vile, depraved pervert!

243
00:18:19,072 --> 00:18:20,368
I'm going to kill you,

244
00:18:20,568 --> 00:18:22,636
- and all these slugs as well!
- Stop!

245
00:18:23,456 --> 00:18:27,750
Before killing this
woman, fight with me,

246
00:18:28,043 --> 00:18:29,846
with me alone!

247
00:19:29,278 --> 00:19:31,450
Lift him off the ground!

248
00:19:31,650 --> 00:19:33,829
Squeeze the wind out of him!

249
00:19:48,250 --> 00:19:52,625
I'm going to restore
this wood to happiness!

250
00:20:14,588 --> 00:20:15,924
Is he dead?

251
00:20:31,386 --> 00:20:35,352
Yes, his monster heart is still.

252
00:20:43,317 --> 00:20:44,910
Listen to me.

253
00:20:45,110 --> 00:20:48,020
I know that love is
a woman's affliction,

254
00:20:48,220 --> 00:20:51,035
and the time has come for me to suffer.

255
00:20:51,297 --> 00:20:54,029
I've chosen your brother, Bhima.

256
00:20:54,329 --> 00:20:57,746
If he rejects me, I'll die.

257
00:20:57,946 --> 00:21:01,750
Call me a poor idiot,
but grant me this man.

258
00:21:05,522 --> 00:21:09,291
You have other husbands.
Give me this one, I want him!

259
00:21:09,491 --> 00:21:11,799
If you give him to me,
I'll do everything for you.

260
00:21:11,999 --> 00:21:14,503
I'll protect you all my life.

261
00:21:15,252 --> 00:21:16,417
Yes.

262
00:21:17,096 --> 00:21:20,550
Enjoy my brother Bhima
from sunrise to sunset.

263
00:21:22,050 --> 00:21:25,763
As long as there's light
in the sky, he's yours.

264
00:21:26,150 --> 00:21:30,246
But don't forget to bring
him back with the dark.

265
00:21:34,450 --> 00:21:37,588
- Are you still afraid of me?
- I've never been afraid.

266
00:21:37,788 --> 00:21:40,990
- What can you still refuse me?
- Nothing.

267
00:21:46,850 --> 00:21:48,947
The sun is rising.

268
00:21:49,850 --> 00:21:51,450
Carry me away.

269
00:21:52,750 --> 00:21:57,620
I'll stay with you
until we are given a son.

270
00:21:58,650 --> 00:22:01,072
So, transfigured by joy,

271
00:22:01,272 --> 00:22:04,697
Hidimbi became a woman of
almost incredible beauty.

272
00:22:04,897 --> 00:22:06,738
She got hold of Bhima,

273
00:22:06,938 --> 00:22:09,433
she swept him up into the air

274
00:22:09,633 --> 00:22:11,390
and everywhere.

275
00:22:12,050 --> 00:22:16,748
On mountain peaks, on sky-blue beaches,

276
00:22:16,948 --> 00:22:19,778
in the secret layers of gazelles

277
00:22:19,978 --> 00:22:23,050
on the shores of forgotten lakes,

278
00:22:23,350 --> 00:22:26,350
everywhere, she gave him her love.

279
00:22:26,569 --> 00:22:27,850
We had a son.

280
00:22:28,150 --> 00:22:31,814
An enormous son called Ghatotkatcha.

281
00:22:32,150 --> 00:22:33,250
Here he is.

282
00:22:33,450 --> 00:22:34,811
It's him?

283
00:22:35,011 --> 00:22:36,050
He's our son?

284
00:22:36,250 --> 00:22:38,123
Yes. Isn't he beautiful?

285
00:22:38,323 --> 00:22:40,653
Already so big? So black?

286
00:22:40,853 --> 00:22:44,702
Oh, he's a magnificent
boy. He has red eyes.

287
00:22:45,250 --> 00:22:47,850
He doesn't seem to know how to walk!

288
00:22:48,250 --> 00:22:51,050
But he's only just been born...

289
00:22:51,350 --> 00:22:55,529
But he'll be very
strong, a great magician.

290
00:22:55,729 --> 00:22:59,178
I can already feel his power.

291
00:22:59,850 --> 00:23:03,735
Son, son, come into my arms!

292
00:23:03,935 --> 00:23:06,386
- My father!
- Yes, it's me. Come!

293
00:23:06,586 --> 00:23:07,392
My father...

294
00:23:07,592 --> 00:23:09,050
- Come, son! Yes!
- Father...

295
00:23:09,350 --> 00:23:10,950
- Come, ah ah!
- Father!

296
00:23:11,150 --> 00:23:12,550
Yes, come, come!

297
00:23:20,350 --> 00:23:24,189
Ghatotkatcha, my son, stay with us!

298
00:23:24,389 --> 00:23:25,934
- I can't.
- Why?

299
00:23:26,134 --> 00:23:27,750
I live in another world

300
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:30,250
and I must go back with my mother.

301
00:23:32,750 --> 00:23:34,950
But if one day you need me,

302
00:23:35,250 --> 00:23:37,550
I'll hear your call.

303
00:23:37,950 --> 00:23:41,481
I'll be there, by your side.

304
00:23:44,450 --> 00:23:45,850
Hidimbi, wait...

305
00:23:46,150 --> 00:23:51,819
- No, don't look at me! I'm leaving!
- Hidimbi! Hidimbi!

306
00:24:04,950 --> 00:24:07,988
I was told that I'd find the
king of kings in the desert,

307
00:24:08,188 --> 00:24:11,881
the supreme ruler. Could it be you?

308
00:24:12,081 --> 00:24:13,488
Where is Arjuna?

309
00:24:16,550 --> 00:24:17,550
Where is he?

310
00:24:17,750 --> 00:24:19,550
He's on a journey.

311
00:24:22,550 --> 00:24:26,550
Wasn't he bound to spend
twelve years in exile?

312
00:24:27,650 --> 00:24:29,450
Why has he broken his word?

313
00:24:29,650 --> 00:24:31,615
Where is he travelling?

314
00:24:32,499 --> 00:24:33,860
With whom?

315
00:24:34,060 --> 00:24:35,696
He's travelling alone.

316
00:24:36,250 --> 00:24:38,146
No word has been broken.

317
00:24:40,050 --> 00:24:42,650
Is he looking for allies? Answer me!

318
00:24:42,950 --> 00:24:46,069
Put down that weapon Dushassana! Obey!

319
00:24:46,689 --> 00:24:50,130
No crime should corrupt this poem.

320
00:24:54,736 --> 00:24:57,843
- Yes.
- Vyasa!

321
00:24:58,043 --> 00:25:00,154
It's a joy to see you again. Thank you.

322
00:25:01,833 --> 00:25:03,287
Vyasa,

323
00:25:03,850 --> 00:25:06,671
have you condemned us to spend
the rest of our days here?

324
00:25:06,871 --> 00:25:09,522
To watch our lives have
their way in this desert?

325
00:25:09,950 --> 00:25:12,918
No. Go!

326
00:25:13,950 --> 00:25:18,350
Profit from exile to see and listen.

327
00:25:18,550 --> 00:25:20,950
Walk. Pause beside wise men.

328
00:25:21,250 --> 00:25:24,965
Question savages and madmen,

329
00:25:25,165 --> 00:25:28,350
and listen to stories.
It's always pleasant,

330
00:25:28,550 --> 00:25:31,143
and sometimes it improves you.

331
00:25:31,343 --> 00:25:34,562
Duryodhana, go back to the city.

332
00:25:35,090 --> 00:25:38,256
Today's hunt has not been very good.

333
00:25:46,650 --> 00:25:48,074
Dushassana!

334
00:25:48,970 --> 00:25:50,772
Do me a favour:

335
00:25:50,972 --> 00:25:53,762
As you go back through the
forest, be very careful.

336
00:25:53,962 --> 00:25:56,950
Keep your throat well away
from tigers and wolves.

337
00:25:57,431 --> 00:25:58,820
Stay alive.

338
00:25:59,020 --> 00:26:01,770
Save your blood for me.

339
00:26:14,785 --> 00:26:17,050
If you can stop crimes,

340
00:26:17,350 --> 00:26:19,450
you could prevent the war!

341
00:26:19,750 --> 00:26:22,650
There are some acts a word can check.

342
00:26:22,950 --> 00:26:26,450
Others, nothing can stop.

343
00:26:46,990 --> 00:26:50,737
- Who is there?
- Kunti.

344
00:26:51,750 --> 00:26:53,450
What do you want?

345
00:26:53,750 --> 00:26:57,238
Uncover your eyes, Gandhari.

346
00:27:00,550 --> 00:27:05,739
Your son has launched
a hunt against my sons.

347
00:27:06,350 --> 00:27:08,650
Not satisfied by their exile,

348
00:27:08,950 --> 00:27:10,951
he wants their death.

349
00:27:11,350 --> 00:27:13,150
He's defending his kingdom.

350
00:27:13,450 --> 00:27:15,550
Take off your veil.

351
00:27:15,850 --> 00:27:18,150
Come out of your dark hiding place.

352
00:27:18,450 --> 00:27:21,050
To each one his darkness, Kunti.

353
00:27:21,350 --> 00:27:23,650
I am used to the night.

354
00:27:24,050 --> 00:27:26,850
You never looked at
the earth, the palace...

355
00:27:27,150 --> 00:27:31,722
nor the colours of the
sky. That, I understand.

356
00:27:31,950 --> 00:27:36,718
But how can you live without
ever seeing your sons?

357
00:27:40,850 --> 00:27:43,350
A spark of courage;

358
00:27:43,650 --> 00:27:45,750
that's all you need.

359
00:27:46,050 --> 00:27:50,250
Look around you. See things as they are.

360
00:27:51,650 --> 00:27:53,504
I'm going to tear off your veil.

361
00:27:54,055 --> 00:27:55,600
Don't touch me.

362
00:27:58,050 --> 00:28:01,783
You don't like me, Gandhari.

363
00:28:01,983 --> 00:28:07,331
My first son was born before
yours. And you haven't forgotten.

364
00:28:07,531 --> 00:28:10,250
I suffered for long time, it's true.

365
00:28:10,750 --> 00:28:15,594
I even asked myself what fathers
would have given you your sons.

366
00:28:16,350 --> 00:28:18,524
But I don't think of it anymore.

367
00:28:20,050 --> 00:28:22,450
Listen to me, Kunti.

368
00:28:22,750 --> 00:28:27,990
Your children are united, and they are
strong enough to protect themselves.

369
00:28:28,250 --> 00:28:31,198
It is for mine that I fear the worst.

370
00:28:32,150 --> 00:28:36,004
The rage in Duryodhana's
heart makes a weakling of him.

371
00:28:36,204 --> 00:28:40,602
He is a blind man’s
son. He lives blindly.

372
00:28:40,802 --> 00:28:44,713
He's bringing death upon
himself. I see it clearly.

373
00:28:47,450 --> 00:28:50,150
You must help me to keep him alive.

374
00:28:55,450 --> 00:28:57,234
Even if you hate him,

375
00:28:58,050 --> 00:29:00,750
even if the earth fears him,

376
00:29:01,831 --> 00:29:03,376
he's my son.

377
00:29:05,550 --> 00:29:07,150
Did you see them?

378
00:29:07,450 --> 00:29:10,450
Yes. Arjuna has left his brothers.

379
00:29:10,750 --> 00:29:11,878
I know.

380
00:29:12,614 --> 00:29:16,491
My spies saw him heading north. Alone.

381
00:29:16,750 --> 00:29:17,850
What's he doing?

382
00:29:18,050 --> 00:29:20,076
He's looking for weapons.

383
00:29:20,750 --> 00:29:22,541
Sacred weapons.

384
00:29:24,850 --> 00:29:27,850
Where is he? I must know exactly.

385
00:29:28,250 --> 00:29:29,723
You can see him.

386
00:29:30,250 --> 00:29:32,950
Concentrate your
thoughts on him, be calm.

387
00:29:33,150 --> 00:29:35,445
Pronounce the necessary words.

388
00:29:36,150 --> 00:29:37,850
Evoke him.

389
00:31:07,050 --> 00:31:09,050
Don't touch that boar.

390
00:31:09,950 --> 00:31:11,250
Who are you?

391
00:31:11,450 --> 00:31:14,350
I hunt in these vast mountains.

392
00:31:14,850 --> 00:31:17,950
This boar is mine. Why
did you shoot it down?

393
00:31:18,250 --> 00:31:21,650
This boar is mine. I hit it first.

394
00:31:22,050 --> 00:31:24,650
No, it was I who hit it, before you.

395
00:31:24,950 --> 00:31:27,050
What brings you here alone?

396
00:31:27,350 --> 00:31:29,750
Don't come near this boar.

397
00:31:30,050 --> 00:31:33,650
I'll lift the boar onto
my shoulders. It is mine!

398
00:31:33,850 --> 00:31:35,713
If your hand touches
the skin of this animal,

399
00:31:35,913 --> 00:31:38,950
- you won't escape alive.
- You can't frighten me!

400
00:31:39,250 --> 00:31:41,284
The earth here knows my step.

401
00:31:41,484 --> 00:31:42,650
You shot at the boar and you missed it.

402
00:31:42,992 --> 00:31:44,852
Don't put your clumsiness onto others.

403
00:31:45,052 --> 00:31:46,987
I'm taking my boar.

404
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:53,126
Again.

405
00:31:58,250 --> 00:32:00,050
Again! More!

406
00:32:00,350 --> 00:32:01,550
Use up all your arrows...

407
00:32:01,750 --> 00:32:03,650
You can't touch me.

408
00:32:39,144 --> 00:32:43,313
You can do nothing to me. I master you.

409
00:32:43,697 --> 00:32:44,711
Look.

410
00:32:46,650 --> 00:32:49,050
I lift you in my arms!

411
00:32:49,650 --> 00:32:51,950
I block your lungs!

412
00:32:52,750 --> 00:32:55,150
I draw out your life.

413
00:33:12,550 --> 00:33:16,050
Shiva. You! The most subtle of beings!

414
00:33:16,450 --> 00:33:17,850
Blue-necked Shiva,

415
00:33:18,150 --> 00:33:19,850
with your third eye!

416
00:33:20,150 --> 00:33:23,449
I came to these mountains
drawn by longing to see you.

417
00:33:23,649 --> 00:33:25,550
I fought without recognising you.

418
00:33:25,750 --> 00:33:29,483
I am confused. Forgive me.

419
00:33:30,750 --> 00:33:34,954
You are forgiven. I'm
pleased to meet you.

420
00:33:35,154 --> 00:33:38,461
Ask me a favour, whatever you wish.

421
00:33:39,850 --> 00:33:41,650
What I wish...

422
00:33:43,550 --> 00:33:46,883
...is an absolute
weapon that you possess.

423
00:33:47,050 --> 00:33:49,350
- Pasupata?
- Yes.

424
00:33:49,650 --> 00:33:52,732
- It can destroy the world.
- I know.

425
00:33:52,932 --> 00:33:57,076
You can launch it with your
bow, but also with your eye...

426
00:33:57,276 --> 00:34:00,005
...your word, your thought.

427
00:34:00,205 --> 00:34:02,583
It's a weapon you can't recall,

428
00:34:02,783 --> 00:34:04,875
it's without limit, without mercy.

429
00:34:05,075 --> 00:34:06,877
I know that too!

430
00:34:07,050 --> 00:34:12,050
You could never dispose
of it, nor give it back.

431
00:34:12,550 --> 00:34:14,768
I need this weapon.

432
00:34:16,350 --> 00:34:18,556
I'll give it to you.

433
00:34:25,650 --> 00:34:27,150
Pasupata!

434
00:34:27,550 --> 00:34:30,545
The mountains quiver when
they hear that name...

435
00:34:30,745 --> 00:34:35,005
...the trees, the wind...
the whole earth shakes.

436
00:34:36,550 --> 00:34:39,288
Arjuna will never dare use it.

437
00:34:40,050 --> 00:34:41,936
He doesn't know how.

438
00:34:42,136 --> 00:34:44,265
Karma, you are mistaken.

439
00:34:45,050 --> 00:34:49,288
Listen to what happened
to me. Listen carefully.

440
00:34:50,350 --> 00:34:52,650
When Shiva disappeared,

441
00:34:52,950 --> 00:34:57,596
I heard a tumult in the sky, like
a hundred thousand claps of thunder

442
00:34:57,796 --> 00:35:01,750
and an immense chariot
appeared, scattering the clouds.

443
00:35:02,650 --> 00:35:05,650
Who are you in the form of Arjuna?

444
00:35:06,050 --> 00:35:06,950
An apparition?

445
00:35:08,050 --> 00:35:09,650
A phantom?

446
00:35:11,450 --> 00:35:14,560
The voice of the driver
said to me: Mount!

447
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,173
My heart beat wildly.

448
00:35:16,373 --> 00:35:18,950
I climbed onto the immense chariot.

449
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:22,350
Drawn by a prodigious force,

450
00:35:22,650 --> 00:35:26,805
it bore me to the regions of light
which the earth calls the stars.

451
00:35:27,005 --> 00:35:28,850
Yes, Karna...

452
00:35:30,350 --> 00:35:35,050
I saw thousands of fiery spheres,

453
00:35:35,450 --> 00:35:38,450
making music in endless space.

454
00:35:39,450 --> 00:35:42,950
I saw bodies glowing
with their own light.

455
00:35:43,350 --> 00:35:46,550
I passed beyond the world of men,

456
00:35:46,950 --> 00:35:49,421
I arrived at Amavarati,

457
00:35:50,304 --> 00:35:53,079
the city that no one may describe,

458
00:35:53,279 --> 00:35:55,740
where Indra my father lives.

459
00:35:56,250 --> 00:36:01,850
He took me on his knee. Yes, Karna...

460
00:36:02,350 --> 00:36:08,169
He caressed me with a hand burned
black with tracks of thunder,

461
00:36:09,850 --> 00:36:12,650
and for five years with him

462
00:36:13,050 --> 00:36:16,450
I deepened my understanding of the use

463
00:36:16,750 --> 00:36:18,350
of this weapon.

464
00:36:19,005 --> 00:36:20,750
You don't exist.

465
00:36:22,950 --> 00:36:25,470
I don't believe you.

466
00:36:26,650 --> 00:36:29,469
I will find you again.

467
00:36:45,950 --> 00:36:49,003
Karna, you too must acquire Pasupata.

468
00:36:49,203 --> 00:36:50,550
We will have it.

469
00:36:57,750 --> 00:36:59,250
It is night.

470
00:37:03,612 --> 00:37:04,881
Yes.

471
00:37:06,550 --> 00:37:09,050
You still dread the night?

472
00:37:10,900 --> 00:37:13,000
I don't like it.

473
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:19,400
I like the sun, when it
wraps me in its warmth.

474
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,800
Every evening, when shadows
lengthen I feel cold,

475
00:37:26,700 --> 00:37:30,151
I look behind me, I sleep badly.

476
00:37:30,900 --> 00:37:32,947
But when the first rays

477
00:37:33,147 --> 00:37:37,658
touch me, my strength returns intact.

478
00:37:51,498 --> 00:37:52,984
Arjuna!

479
00:37:54,950 --> 00:37:56,950
Who are you?

480
00:37:59,350 --> 00:38:01,450
There is a strong wind.

481
00:38:01,750 --> 00:38:04,526
Why hasn't it put out your lamp?

482
00:38:05,750 --> 00:38:08,231
My name is Urvasi.

483
00:38:09,650 --> 00:38:11,250
What do you want from me?

484
00:38:12,650 --> 00:38:14,750
You are alone here,

485
00:38:15,050 --> 00:38:17,250
in the ice and wind,

486
00:38:17,550 --> 00:38:21,105
without a woman to give you her warmth.

487
00:38:21,550 --> 00:38:23,150
Look,

488
00:38:23,450 --> 00:38:27,685
I circled my eyes with shadow,

489
00:38:27,850 --> 00:38:29,850
and my arms with gold,

490
00:38:30,150 --> 00:38:31,750
I scented my skin,

491
00:38:31,950 --> 00:38:35,245
I drank a little wine and I
came rapidly through the garden.

492
00:38:35,445 --> 00:38:38,050
Are you a creature of the sky?

493
00:38:38,350 --> 00:38:40,550
An Apsara?

494
00:38:41,950 --> 00:38:46,301
Don't come near me. I am a man.

495
00:38:47,250 --> 00:38:49,850
We Apsaras are free to choose,

496
00:38:50,150 --> 00:38:52,681
we are not tied to a single man.

497
00:38:53,250 --> 00:38:58,306
What I offer you is neither
frightening nor dangerous.

498
00:38:58,950 --> 00:39:01,250
It is only love.

499
00:39:02,850 --> 00:39:05,450
I'm too far from the earth,

500
00:39:05,850 --> 00:39:09,650
I've forgotten pleasure's shape,

501
00:39:09,950 --> 00:39:12,150
even her scent.

502
00:39:12,450 --> 00:39:15,098
Love is the same in all the worlds.

503
00:39:15,298 --> 00:39:20,059
Go away Urvasi. We
cannot love each other.

504
00:39:20,850 --> 00:39:25,144
I came to you. Don't reject me.

505
00:39:26,750 --> 00:39:29,692
- I love you.
- I love you too.

506
00:39:32,290 --> 00:39:35,650
I respect you like a
mother. I bow to you.

507
00:39:36,050 --> 00:39:38,550
Treat me as your son.

508
00:39:39,250 --> 00:39:41,250
Look at my skin,

509
00:39:42,650 --> 00:39:45,237
it is seething with fury!

510
00:39:46,350 --> 00:39:49,260
Treat you as my son?

511
00:39:53,250 --> 00:39:55,350
Remember my words:

512
00:39:57,050 --> 00:40:01,050
because you have insulted a
woman who came to love you,

513
00:40:01,450 --> 00:40:03,141
you will live like a woman.

514
00:40:03,341 --> 00:40:07,463
You too, amongst women, will be despised

515
00:40:08,050 --> 00:40:12,050
and you will be deprived
of your virility.

516
00:40:56,050 --> 00:40:57,450
For many months,

517
00:40:57,750 --> 00:41:00,650
you have lived in these forests,

518
00:41:00,950 --> 00:41:03,450
silent and willing.

519
00:41:03,750 --> 00:41:06,450
I want to grant you a favour.

520
00:41:07,550 --> 00:41:09,950
I don't know the colour of your eyes,

521
00:41:10,250 --> 00:41:12,250
I don't know your name,

522
00:41:12,550 --> 00:41:15,550
I don't know the sound of your voice,

523
00:41:15,850 --> 00:41:19,330
but I tell you you deserve a reward,

524
00:41:19,550 --> 00:41:23,950
and I have many well hidden secrets.

525
00:41:25,450 --> 00:41:27,491
What is your wish?

526
00:41:31,450 --> 00:41:33,050
Pasupata.

527
00:41:34,750 --> 00:41:35,850
What?

528
00:41:36,950 --> 00:41:39,450
Give me the secret of Pasupata.

529
00:41:40,350 --> 00:41:41,750
Who are you?

530
00:41:42,550 --> 00:41:44,925
- I'm your servant.
- Liar!

531
00:41:45,150 --> 00:41:46,550
You want a weapon,

532
00:41:46,850 --> 00:41:49,350
that means you are a warrior!

533
00:41:49,650 --> 00:41:54,755
You belong to that arrogant cast
that I detest, the Ksatriyas!

534
00:41:54,955 --> 00:41:56,233
Why do you detest the Ksatriyas?

535
00:41:56,433 --> 00:41:59,795
There is nothing to
explain! I hate them.

536
00:41:59,995 --> 00:42:03,800
I fought twenty-one generations
of Ksatriyas with my axe.

537
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,620
I came down from heaven to destroy them!

538
00:42:06,820 --> 00:42:10,377
I'm not of that cast, I'm a simple man.

539
00:42:10,577 --> 00:42:15,085
- That's the truth?
- I'm called the driver's son.

540
00:42:15,450 --> 00:42:16,850
I swear it.

541
00:42:27,750 --> 00:42:31,877
Here. I'm a man of my word.

542
00:42:32,077 --> 00:42:35,202
The formula is written
here. Learn it by heart.

543
00:42:35,402 --> 00:42:37,800
Quick! Hurry,

544
00:42:38,350 --> 00:42:40,927
the formula will fade away.

545
00:42:44,050 --> 00:42:45,845
Finished.

546
00:42:46,868 --> 00:42:49,450
It's only a scrub of bark.

547
00:42:50,950 --> 00:42:54,162
You remember what was on it?

548
00:42:55,450 --> 00:42:57,250
When you utter those words,

549
00:42:57,650 --> 00:43:01,050
a creature will come down from the sky

550
00:43:01,350 --> 00:43:05,450
and will give you the
weapon that you wish.

551
00:43:06,150 --> 00:43:08,985
Now I will sleep a little.

552
00:43:09,185 --> 00:43:14,316
I'm more than a thousand years old
and I'm beginning to grow tired.

553
00:44:09,050 --> 00:44:12,350
Where does this blood come from?

554
00:44:12,650 --> 00:44:13,850
Is this your doing?

555
00:44:14,250 --> 00:44:17,850
A worm brought a hole in
my thigh while you slept,

556
00:44:18,250 --> 00:44:21,950
a tiny worm. Forgive me.

557
00:44:22,650 --> 00:44:24,150
Why didn't you yell?

558
00:44:24,450 --> 00:44:26,850
I didn't want to wake you.

559
00:44:28,050 --> 00:44:30,050
You have tricked me.

560
00:44:30,350 --> 00:44:35,050
Only a Ksatriya could
display such idiotic courage!

561
00:44:35,450 --> 00:44:38,805
Any intelligent man would have yelled.

562
00:44:39,289 --> 00:44:41,433
You are a Ksatriya!

563
00:44:42,050 --> 00:44:44,450
You lied to worm out my secret,

564
00:44:44,750 --> 00:44:47,650
but listen to me, whoever you are!

565
00:44:47,950 --> 00:44:51,550
At the last minute,
listen to me carefully,

566
00:44:51,850 --> 00:44:54,350
the secret will slip from your memory.

567
00:44:54,650 --> 00:45:00,023
You will forget it entirely, and
that will be the moment of your death!

568
00:45:00,223 --> 00:45:03,566
Go! Go!

569
00:45:18,550 --> 00:45:20,032
No!

570
00:45:20,232 --> 00:45:25,581
Don't drink! Answer my
question before you drink!

571
00:45:25,781 --> 00:45:27,378
We must drink!

572
00:45:43,050 --> 00:45:45,417
The sons of Madri are dead.

573
00:45:46,350 --> 00:45:48,450
Answer my question!

574
00:45:49,450 --> 00:45:51,750
Answer me!

575
00:45:52,250 --> 00:45:54,350
Show yourself!

576
00:45:54,650 --> 00:45:57,758
- Show yourself!
- Speak!

577
00:45:57,958 --> 00:46:00,950
- Answer my question!
- Show yourself!

578
00:46:01,350 --> 00:46:06,645
Don't excite yourself for
nothing. First answer my question.

579
00:46:07,350 --> 00:46:09,660
I'm devoured by thirst!

580
00:46:26,150 --> 00:46:28,750
Who has killed my brothers?

581
00:46:30,510 --> 00:46:35,258
Don't drink! First answer my questions!

582
00:46:47,850 --> 00:46:50,124
Who stroke them down?

583
00:46:52,150 --> 00:46:54,750
There's no trace of blows,

584
00:46:55,450 --> 00:46:57,050
I don't understand.

585
00:47:00,050 --> 00:47:02,750
First answer my questions,

586
00:47:03,050 --> 00:47:05,350
then I'll let you drink.

587
00:47:05,650 --> 00:47:08,150
Who are you?

588
00:47:08,450 --> 00:47:10,832
- I don't see you.
- Answer!

589
00:47:11,764 --> 00:47:13,388
Are you in the air?

590
00:47:15,661 --> 00:47:16,450
Are you in the water?

591
00:47:16,750 --> 00:47:20,607
I am neither fish nor bird.
I've struck down your brother

592
00:47:20,807 --> 00:47:24,906
because they wanted to drink
without answering my questions.

593
00:47:32,450 --> 00:47:34,065
Examine me.

594
00:47:37,950 --> 00:47:41,250
What is quicker than the wind?

595
00:47:42,562 --> 00:47:43,850
Thought.

596
00:47:44,150 --> 00:47:47,550
What can cover the earth?

597
00:47:48,750 --> 00:47:50,150
Darkness.

598
00:47:50,550 --> 00:47:54,350
Who are more numerous,
the living or the dead?

599
00:47:54,750 --> 00:47:58,687
The living, because
the dead are no longer.

600
00:47:58,887 --> 00:48:02,450
Give me an example of space.

601
00:48:06,050 --> 00:48:10,220
My two hands, as one.

602
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:12,950
An example of grief.

603
00:48:13,250 --> 00:48:14,450
Ignorance.

604
00:48:14,750 --> 00:48:16,950
Of poison.

605
00:48:17,250 --> 00:48:18,950
Desire.

606
00:48:19,150 --> 00:48:22,950
An example of defeat.

607
00:48:23,750 --> 00:48:25,150
Victory.

608
00:48:26,950 --> 00:48:30,450
Which came first, day or night?

609
00:48:30,750 --> 00:48:32,150
Day, but...

610
00:48:32,450 --> 00:48:34,713
it was only a day ahead.

611
00:48:35,750 --> 00:48:39,210
What is the cause of the world?

612
00:48:40,350 --> 00:48:41,850
Love.

613
00:48:42,150 --> 00:48:43,550
What is your opposite?

614
00:48:43,850 --> 00:48:44,650
Myself.

615
00:48:44,850 --> 00:48:46,950
What is madness?

616
00:48:48,850 --> 00:48:51,150
Our forgotten way.

617
00:48:51,550 --> 00:48:55,550
And revolt? Why do men revolt?

618
00:48:56,050 --> 00:49:01,060
To find beauty, either
in life or in death.

619
00:49:01,260 --> 00:49:06,365
And what for each of us is inevitable?

620
00:49:08,185 --> 00:49:09,830
Happiness.

621
00:49:10,030 --> 00:49:14,502
And what is the greatest wonder?

622
00:49:15,968 --> 00:49:18,640
Each day, death strikes

623
00:49:19,050 --> 00:49:23,133
and we live as though we were immortal.

624
00:49:23,475 --> 00:49:25,960
This is the greatest wonder.

625
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,868
Then the voice from the lake said:

626
00:49:29,068 --> 00:49:32,966
May all your brothers come back to life!

627
00:49:45,550 --> 00:49:46,650
Who are you?

628
00:49:46,850 --> 00:49:50,450
I am Dharma, your father.

629
00:49:50,850 --> 00:49:55,250
I am constancy, rightness,
the order of the world.

630
00:49:56,450 --> 00:49:58,750
You've taken the form of a lake?

631
00:49:59,150 --> 00:50:01,650
I am all forms.

632
00:50:01,950 --> 00:50:05,550
Yudhishthira, I am very satisfied.

633
00:50:05,929 --> 00:50:08,250
Choose a favour.

634
00:50:18,150 --> 00:50:21,950
Our stay in the woods
is coming to an end.

635
00:50:22,250 --> 00:50:24,992
We must now spend a thirteenth year

636
00:50:25,511 --> 00:50:27,835
unseen, unrecognised.

637
00:50:28,491 --> 00:50:30,677
Tell me what our disguise should be.

638
00:50:30,877 --> 00:50:35,695
Choose the disguise of
your most secret desire.

639
00:50:37,850 --> 00:50:39,250
Where can we hide?

640
00:50:39,550 --> 00:50:41,004
For the thirteenth year you must hide

641
00:50:41,204 --> 00:50:43,787
so skilfully that no
one would recognise you,

642
00:50:43,987 --> 00:50:48,350
not even me. Now you can drink.

643
00:51:18,826 --> 00:51:20,052
Vyasa,

644
00:51:20,390 --> 00:51:22,878
why are you inventing this poem?

645
00:51:23,128 --> 00:51:26,350
So as to engrave Dharma
in the hearts of men.

646
00:51:26,550 --> 00:51:27,850
Is that possible?

647
00:51:28,150 --> 00:51:31,430
It will be long and difficult, and
will be even dangerous, but the earth

648
00:51:31,630 --> 00:51:33,510
is listening to my poem.

649
00:51:33,710 --> 00:51:36,812
It's wondering: will he
find the way to help me?

650
00:51:37,777 --> 00:51:39,350
Where are we going now?

651
00:51:39,451 --> 00:51:41,395
I don't know yet.

652
00:51:41,770 --> 00:51:44,667
Are you really the author of this poem?

653
00:51:44,867 --> 00:51:46,750
Do you doubt it?

654
00:51:46,950 --> 00:51:48,871
At times you hesitate.

655
00:51:49,237 --> 00:51:52,650
I've composed everything,
but nothing is written down

656
00:51:53,039 --> 00:51:56,557
and yes, there are moments
when my thoughts escape me.

657
00:51:58,027 --> 00:52:02,337
And Krishna? Did you invent him as well?

658
00:52:05,512 --> 00:52:08,759
Vyasa, which of us
has invented the other?

659
00:52:08,959 --> 00:52:09,950
Krishna!

660
00:52:10,636 --> 00:52:14,221
Greetings. What are you
looking for in this land?

661
00:52:14,421 --> 00:52:17,590
Vyasa, I was looking for you.

662
00:52:18,767 --> 00:52:20,691
I'm a little cold.

663
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:26,091
Who are you?

664
00:52:26,850 --> 00:52:30,350
People say Vishnu has come
down to save the world,

665
00:52:30,750 --> 00:52:35,152
and some say he has taken
your shape. Is it true?

666
00:52:37,450 --> 00:52:39,050
What do you say, Vyasa?

667
00:52:39,350 --> 00:52:43,750
You are narrating me, haven't
you already traced out my path?

668
00:52:44,150 --> 00:52:47,794
No path is traced
completely, as well you know.

669
00:52:47,994 --> 00:52:51,550
You are in life and you live.

670
00:52:51,850 --> 00:52:55,150
The days of my youth passed joyfully,

671
00:52:55,670 --> 00:52:57,782
and I tasted many wonders.

672
00:52:57,982 --> 00:53:00,362
Now your hairs go grey.

673
00:53:01,827 --> 00:53:05,950
Deep in myself I see a black lake.

674
00:53:06,298 --> 00:53:10,250
Often, in the dark, I hear
calling and cries of pain

675
00:53:10,511 --> 00:53:12,127
I hear them too.

676
00:53:13,359 --> 00:53:14,750
And what do you do?

677
00:53:14,950 --> 00:53:19,408
At night I sleep, and
in the morning I wake.

678
00:53:20,201 --> 00:53:22,375
I wait.

679
00:53:22,575 --> 00:53:25,480
But you must know
what has been prepared!

680
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,672
One of you must know!

681
00:53:41,450 --> 00:53:42,606
Where are we?

682
00:53:42,806 --> 00:53:44,632
This is the court of king Virata.

683
00:53:44,832 --> 00:53:48,046
The five Pandavas and their wife
have been here for many months,

684
00:53:48,272 --> 00:53:52,184
hiding, disguised. Look...

685
00:53:54,705 --> 00:54:00,392
Discreetly. That Brahmin
there is Yudhishthira.

686
00:54:04,036 --> 00:54:06,154
He's playing dice?

687
00:54:11,155 --> 00:54:12,470
I've won.

688
00:54:13,765 --> 00:54:14,774
Yes.

689
00:54:15,947 --> 00:54:19,781
In the course of his journeys
he learnt the science of dice,

690
00:54:19,981 --> 00:54:22,300
and now he can never lose.

691
00:54:28,054 --> 00:54:29,593
Oh, it's Bhima!

692
00:54:33,578 --> 00:54:37,088
He's now a cook. They call
him the prince of pots.

693
00:54:37,879 --> 00:54:41,525
The master of four thousand sauces.

694
00:54:46,593 --> 00:54:48,332
Over there is Nakula,

695
00:54:59,076 --> 00:55:02,356
here with the musicians, Sahadeva.

1
00:00:00,179 --> 00:00:01,180
And he is...

2
00:00:35,171 --> 00:00:37,366
Is he a man or a woman?

3
00:00:40,475 --> 00:00:42,821
I'm both, a man and a woman.

4
00:01:00,049 --> 00:01:01,416
I've won.

5
00:01:15,265 --> 00:01:17,526
Kitchaka! My general!

6
00:01:17,726 --> 00:01:18,997
My king!

7
00:01:24,591 --> 00:01:26,737
At last you are back.

8
00:01:27,526 --> 00:01:30,626
I can't run my country without you.

9
00:01:30,926 --> 00:01:33,026
Where have you been so long?

10
00:01:33,326 --> 00:01:34,926
I've been with Duryodhana.

11
00:01:39,426 --> 00:01:41,426
The Pandavas have disappeared.

12
00:01:41,726 --> 00:01:45,726
He is furious. His spies have
been searching the earth for them,

13
00:01:46,126 --> 00:01:50,730
but if I find them,
he will give us gold.

14
00:01:50,930 --> 00:01:54,426
I think you should
search in remote ambients.

15
00:01:56,506 --> 00:01:57,209
Yes.

16
00:01:57,409 --> 00:02:00,226
- In far away mines...
- Yes.

17
00:02:03,845 --> 00:02:05,126
Caves...

18
00:02:07,676 --> 00:02:09,306
...Grottoes.

19
00:02:10,717 --> 00:02:11,843
Yes.

20
00:02:12,629 --> 00:02:16,026
I will track them down even
if it takes me to China!

21
00:02:16,326 --> 00:02:17,326
Who are these men?

22
00:02:17,626 --> 00:02:21,826
My new servants. They served
Yudhishthira in the forest.

23
00:02:23,826 --> 00:02:25,975
- Yudhishthira?
- Yes.

24
00:02:27,456 --> 00:02:28,524
Come!

25
00:02:39,626 --> 00:02:42,726
One, two, three, four, five.

26
00:02:43,126 --> 00:02:46,430
They are five, like the Pandavas!

27
00:02:49,126 --> 00:02:51,550
This one is very strong...

28
00:02:57,226 --> 00:02:58,733
And this one...

29
00:03:02,534 --> 00:03:04,022
What have you got in your hand?

30
00:03:04,626 --> 00:03:06,058
A game of dice.

31
00:03:06,642 --> 00:03:08,410
Ah, you play at dice.

32
00:03:08,936 --> 00:03:10,333
Yes, very often.

33
00:03:11,226 --> 00:03:16,770
So, tell me... You win or you lose?

34
00:03:18,725 --> 00:03:20,457
He wins every time.

35
00:03:21,896 --> 00:03:23,957
Then you can't be Yudhishthira.

36
00:03:44,026 --> 00:03:45,726
Who's this beauty? Tell me.

37
00:03:45,926 --> 00:03:48,326
I don't know, she's just a servant.

38
00:03:49,526 --> 00:03:51,126
Beloved sister,

39
00:03:51,926 --> 00:03:55,126
send her to me, I must have
her. I'll give you emeralds.

40
00:03:55,426 --> 00:03:58,414
Very good. I'll send
her to you tomorrow.

41
00:03:58,614 --> 00:03:59,719
Good.

42
00:04:12,226 --> 00:04:13,409
Come...

43
00:04:15,726 --> 00:04:17,104
Sit down.

44
00:04:21,726 --> 00:04:26,189
From now on, all my
wives are your servants.

45
00:04:27,726 --> 00:04:33,087
Yes, there is no one like you.

46
00:04:37,426 --> 00:04:39,729
You shine like the moon.

47
00:04:41,626 --> 00:04:43,926
Your two breasts...

48
00:04:44,826 --> 00:04:46,326
your lips...

49
00:04:53,326 --> 00:04:58,416
Don't push me away.
You'll regret it. Come.

50
00:04:58,616 --> 00:05:03,063
You are sick. I see
you already in ashes.

51
00:05:04,526 --> 00:05:08,400
In ashes? Just the reverse.

52
00:05:09,326 --> 00:05:13,626
Come. Come into my fire!

53
00:05:17,926 --> 00:05:21,308
Who do you think you
are to say no to me?

54
00:05:22,205 --> 00:05:23,848
Open your arms.

55
00:05:24,583 --> 00:05:25,628
Wait...

56
00:05:28,726 --> 00:05:29,971
Later.

57
00:05:32,891 --> 00:05:34,296
Tonight?

58
00:05:36,926 --> 00:05:41,881
- Tonight.
- Good... Good.

59
00:06:09,226 --> 00:06:11,626
Bhima, stop cooking! Listen to me!

60
00:06:12,226 --> 00:06:14,426
Draupadi? What are you doing here?

61
00:06:14,726 --> 00:06:18,008
I don't care anymore, I think
all your brothers are dead!

62
00:06:18,208 --> 00:06:19,426
What do you mean?

63
00:06:19,626 --> 00:06:21,126
Your elder brother
lives only for his dice.

64
00:06:21,326 --> 00:06:24,579
He once nourished the earth, and
today he eats from a stranger's hands.

65
00:06:24,779 --> 00:06:27,702
And you, stewing rice in a kitchen?

66
00:06:27,902 --> 00:06:29,826
And Arjuna, the great conqueror,

67
00:06:30,126 --> 00:06:32,637
teaching dance to the king's daughter!

68
00:06:32,837 --> 00:06:34,275
I'm ashamed!

69
00:06:34,947 --> 00:06:37,881
Look at this miserable
dress, these chapped hands!

70
00:06:38,081 --> 00:06:41,281
I know some people are beginning
to suspect us, but I'm in agony!

71
00:06:41,481 --> 00:06:44,550
My heart is racing! Listen!

72
00:06:46,726 --> 00:06:49,926
Kitchaka's violence terrifies me.

73
00:06:50,226 --> 00:06:51,826
I've promised to meet him again,

74
00:06:52,026 --> 00:06:54,826
but I'd rather swallow poison
than fall into his hands.

75
00:06:55,070 --> 00:06:56,175
Draupadi...

76
00:06:58,130 --> 00:07:00,856
You know the new pavilion?

77
00:07:14,126 --> 00:07:15,558
Are you there?

78
00:07:21,026 --> 00:07:23,076
I received your message.

79
00:07:26,026 --> 00:07:27,758
I am here.

80
00:07:32,526 --> 00:07:34,026
You see,

81
00:07:35,026 --> 00:07:36,926
I've spent hours dressing

82
00:07:37,226 --> 00:07:41,226
and scenting myself for you.

83
00:07:44,826 --> 00:07:47,326
It's a very expensive scent.

84
00:07:55,226 --> 00:07:58,301
When I left, my servants gasped.

85
00:07:58,501 --> 00:08:01,026
They said I was the king of beauty.

86
00:08:03,126 --> 00:08:05,826
I'm happy, it's like a dream.

87
00:08:06,126 --> 00:08:08,762
I'm in ecstasy.

88
00:08:10,126 --> 00:08:13,843
Yes, yes, yes... caress me. Yes!

89
00:08:16,585 --> 00:08:21,068
I see you know the ancient art...

90
00:08:22,726 --> 00:08:24,726
Again, again!

91
00:08:27,826 --> 00:08:30,899
I've never been caressed so strongly!

92
00:08:31,099 --> 00:08:33,569
My whole body's tingling!

93
00:08:37,926 --> 00:08:40,826
Speak to me, tell me something!

94
00:08:41,926 --> 00:08:44,343
It's true, you are the king.

95
00:08:50,188 --> 00:08:51,274
What?

96
00:08:51,474 --> 00:08:55,026
It's true, you are the king of beauty.

97
00:08:55,426 --> 00:08:58,730
No wonder women adore you!

98
00:08:58,930 --> 00:09:00,518
What's that voice?

99
00:09:05,934 --> 00:09:09,126
- No!
- I'll take you in my arms now!

100
00:09:09,211 --> 00:09:10,350
Yes!

101
00:09:11,681 --> 00:09:13,226
You didn't know, did you,

102
00:09:13,626 --> 00:09:16,462
that you came here looking for death?

103
00:09:16,662 --> 00:09:18,179
No... no!

104
00:09:21,226 --> 00:09:26,236
My fingers sink into your flesh!

105
00:09:27,626 --> 00:09:32,702
I will grind you to powder, my love!

106
00:09:43,626 --> 00:09:45,026
What's this?

107
00:09:46,426 --> 00:09:48,626
Is this Kitchaka?

108
00:09:51,426 --> 00:09:55,617
These are certainly his
clothes and his perfume...

109
00:09:56,826 --> 00:09:59,826
But, where's his neck?

110
00:10:00,926 --> 00:10:03,226
Where are his feet?

111
00:10:04,226 --> 00:10:06,026
Where's his head?

112
00:10:09,726 --> 00:10:11,182
Who killed him?

113
00:10:11,382 --> 00:10:14,570
He's been killed by greed, by pride.

114
00:10:14,770 --> 00:10:18,326
But who turned him into a ball?
Only a demon could do that!

115
00:10:18,526 --> 00:10:21,069
No. It was my brother.

116
00:10:21,226 --> 00:10:22,326
Who are you?

117
00:10:24,026 --> 00:10:26,208
I am Yudhishthira.

118
00:10:28,526 --> 00:10:30,667
I can't lie to you.

119
00:10:32,526 --> 00:10:35,094
And here is my brother Bhima,

120
00:10:35,526 --> 00:10:40,653
who killed Kitchaka to
protect our wife Draupadi.

121
00:10:41,726 --> 00:10:44,626
Here are Arjuna...

122
00:10:44,926 --> 00:10:47,180
Nakula and Sahadeva.

123
00:10:51,526 --> 00:10:54,426
I have to close my eyes.

124
00:10:54,726 --> 00:10:56,473
Is it true?

125
00:10:59,641 --> 00:11:04,057
You have honoured my palace in
secret. What can I do for you?

126
00:11:04,257 --> 00:11:07,056
Our time of exile is over.

127
00:11:07,326 --> 00:11:08,914
We must now demand

128
00:11:09,114 --> 00:11:10,990
the return of what is ours.

129
00:11:11,190 --> 00:11:13,993
And if Duryodhana refuses?

130
00:11:14,226 --> 00:11:15,708
I will fight.

131
00:11:15,908 --> 00:11:19,493
You? Would you launch a war?

132
00:11:20,226 --> 00:11:23,865
Yes. With my brothers.

133
00:11:46,226 --> 00:11:47,650
Yudhishthira!

134
00:11:47,993 --> 00:11:51,380
They say that we have entered
the age of destruction.

135
00:11:51,580 --> 00:11:52,926
Is it true?

136
00:11:53,226 --> 00:11:56,715
Don't go away without answering me.

137
00:12:08,726 --> 00:12:11,626
I see the coming of another age,

138
00:12:11,926 --> 00:12:14,426
where barbaric kings

139
00:12:14,726 --> 00:12:18,459
rule over a vicious and broken world.

140
00:12:19,526 --> 00:12:23,826
Where puny, fearful,

141
00:12:24,226 --> 00:12:29,258
hard men, live tiny lives.

142
00:12:31,026 --> 00:12:34,024
White-haired at sixteen,

143
00:12:35,926 --> 00:12:38,754
copulating with animals.

144
00:12:41,026 --> 00:12:45,366
Their women, perfect whores
making love with greedy mouths.

145
00:12:47,526 --> 00:12:50,157
The cows, dry, sterile.

146
00:12:53,226 --> 00:12:57,296
Trees, standing lifeless.

147
00:12:59,826 --> 00:13:03,550
No more flowers, no more purity.

148
00:13:04,726 --> 00:13:08,226
Ambition, corruption, commerce,

149
00:13:10,126 --> 00:13:12,472
is the age of Kali,

150
00:13:13,426 --> 00:13:15,642
the black time.

151
00:13:18,026 --> 00:13:23,029
The countryside a desert,

152
00:13:23,226 --> 00:13:26,457
crime stocks the cities.

153
00:13:27,826 --> 00:13:32,053
Beasts drink blood and
sleep in the streets.

154
00:13:34,226 --> 00:13:37,890
All the water's sucked up by the sky.

155
00:13:38,090 --> 00:13:40,722
Scalded earth,

156
00:13:41,126 --> 00:13:44,725
scorched to dead ash.

157
00:13:46,226 --> 00:13:49,410
The fire rises, born by the wind.

158
00:13:50,626 --> 00:13:53,426
Fire pierces the earth.

159
00:13:53,726 --> 00:13:57,201
Cracks open the underground world.

160
00:13:57,726 --> 00:14:01,311
Wind and fire calcining the world.

161
00:14:02,426 --> 00:14:04,926
Immense clouds gather,

162
00:14:05,326 --> 00:14:07,026
blue, yellow and red...

163
00:14:07,926 --> 00:14:10,926
They rise like deep sea monsters,

164
00:14:11,226 --> 00:14:13,626
like shattered cities.

165
00:14:14,426 --> 00:14:18,064
Forked with lightening, the rains fall.

166
00:14:18,264 --> 00:14:21,830
The rains fall and engulf the earth.

167
00:14:22,926 --> 00:14:25,526
Twelve years of storm.

168
00:14:26,726 --> 00:14:29,426
The mountains split the waters.

169
00:14:33,826 --> 00:14:36,126
I no longer see the world.

170
00:14:38,626 --> 00:14:40,035
Then,

171
00:14:40,754 --> 00:14:45,462
the primary God, when all that
remains is a grey sea without a man,

172
00:14:45,662 --> 00:14:48,467
beast or tree...

173
00:14:50,326 --> 00:14:52,626
...the Creator...

174
00:14:53,326 --> 00:14:56,526
...drinks the terrible wind...

175
00:14:59,126 --> 00:15:01,555
...and falls asleep.

176
00:15:09,726 --> 00:15:12,426
You said everything will be destroyed...

177
00:15:13,326 --> 00:15:16,299
So, what's the use of fighting?

178
00:16:22,926 --> 00:16:24,826
Welcome to you both.

179
00:16:26,226 --> 00:16:28,226
Why this visit?

180
00:16:30,026 --> 00:16:32,326
War is drawing near.

181
00:16:33,726 --> 00:16:36,342
Krishna, I've come to
ask you to be our ally.

182
00:16:36,542 --> 00:16:40,562
I make the same request
in the name of my brothers.

183
00:16:40,762 --> 00:16:44,780
I love you all. I cannot take sides.

184
00:16:44,980 --> 00:16:45,962
It is true.

185
00:16:46,162 --> 00:16:48,919
Our family bonds are the same,

186
00:16:49,201 --> 00:16:51,326
but I was the first to enter here.

187
00:16:51,626 --> 00:16:53,378
I have priority.

188
00:16:53,941 --> 00:16:55,159
Yes, you were the first to enter,

189
00:16:55,359 --> 00:16:59,026
but when I opened my
eyes, they fell on Arjuna.

190
00:16:59,426 --> 00:17:02,018
It's for him to say
what he would prefer.

191
00:17:02,226 --> 00:17:04,366
On one side I set the
mass of my warriors,

192
00:17:04,566 --> 00:17:06,829
fully equipped, ready for war,

193
00:17:07,029 --> 00:17:10,126
and on the other side
myself, alone, unarmed,

194
00:17:10,326 --> 00:17:12,594
taking no part in the battle.

195
00:17:12,794 --> 00:17:15,508
- What do you choose?
- I choose you.

196
00:17:15,708 --> 00:17:19,837
- Me? Alone, unarmed?
- Yes.

197
00:17:20,314 --> 00:17:22,819
That means I have the
entire mass of your warriors?

198
00:17:23,019 --> 00:17:24,266
They are yours.

199
00:17:24,898 --> 00:17:27,337
Fully equipped? Determined to fight?

200
00:17:27,537 --> 00:17:29,952
Determined and faithful.

201
00:17:30,126 --> 00:17:31,888
Even to fight against Arjuna?

202
00:17:32,088 --> 00:17:34,065
Even against him.

203
00:17:36,426 --> 00:17:38,529
You yourself won't fight?

204
00:17:38,729 --> 00:17:40,526
I will not fight.

205
00:17:58,217 --> 00:17:59,440
Arjuna?

206
00:18:03,529 --> 00:18:07,006
Has everything been
done to prevent the war?

207
00:18:07,206 --> 00:18:09,866
Absolutely everything?

208
00:18:10,066 --> 00:18:11,935
Can it be prevented?

209
00:18:12,338 --> 00:18:15,128
Arjuna, I can tell you
with absolute conviction

210
00:18:15,328 --> 00:18:18,415
you won't have the choice
between peace and war.

211
00:18:18,615 --> 00:18:20,659
What will be my choice?

212
00:18:20,859 --> 00:18:23,126
Between war and another war.

213
00:18:25,026 --> 00:18:29,005
The other war, where will it take place?

214
00:18:29,205 --> 00:18:31,149
On a battlefield...

215
00:18:33,016 --> 00:18:34,858
or in my heart?

216
00:18:35,316 --> 00:18:38,361
I don't see a real difference.

217
00:18:39,532 --> 00:18:43,924
You said that war is inevitable,
yet you do everything to prevent it.

218
00:18:44,124 --> 00:18:45,474
Yes.

219
00:18:46,626 --> 00:18:50,974
When you chose me,
what was in your mind?

220
00:18:51,174 --> 00:18:54,569
I'm strong, I don't need your strength.

221
00:18:55,126 --> 00:18:58,340
But I need you to drive my chariot.

222
00:18:59,726 --> 00:19:01,728
Be my driver.

223
00:19:01,928 --> 00:19:06,246
Yes. I will drive your chariot.

224
00:19:09,565 --> 00:19:11,107
Karna...

225
00:19:11,307 --> 00:19:15,549
Each day I feel the
breath of war come closer.

226
00:19:16,141 --> 00:19:19,040
I know your power and your influence.

227
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,101
If you wished, you could avoid it.

228
00:19:24,126 --> 00:19:27,855
It's not me who decides
if there'll be a war,

229
00:19:29,362 --> 00:19:33,025
but if the day comes, I will fight.

230
00:19:33,826 --> 00:19:36,326
Your sons are my enemies.

231
00:19:37,802 --> 00:19:39,426
They have despised,

232
00:19:39,826 --> 00:19:43,473
soiled and rejected me.

233
00:19:43,673 --> 00:19:46,045
You can never beat them.

234
00:19:47,326 --> 00:19:49,696
You see this launch?

235
00:19:51,516 --> 00:19:55,119
Touch it. Feel how it vibrates.

236
00:20:03,126 --> 00:20:05,233
When I was born,

237
00:20:05,433 --> 00:20:10,104
I had a golden brass
plate, like a second skin.

238
00:20:11,723 --> 00:20:14,214
One day a god disguised
as a beggar said to me:

239
00:20:14,414 --> 00:20:16,042
"Give me your brass plate".

240
00:20:17,442 --> 00:20:21,896
I heard a voice in the sky crying:
"Don't part with that brass plate!"

241
00:20:22,124 --> 00:20:24,055
But I couldn't refuse.

242
00:20:24,721 --> 00:20:27,062
I can never refuse anything.

243
00:20:27,436 --> 00:20:31,420
Without the least hesitation, I tore
it off and gave it dripping with blood.

244
00:20:32,004 --> 00:20:35,399
It was then that the god
held out to me this launch,

245
00:20:36,190 --> 00:20:38,179
with these words:

246
00:20:39,369 --> 00:20:43,274
"It will kill a living
being, whoever you choose,

247
00:20:43,474 --> 00:20:47,469
"man, god or demon".

248
00:20:47,669 --> 00:20:50,491
But it will only kill once.

249
00:21:00,327 --> 00:21:01,673
Bhishma,

250
00:21:02,570 --> 00:21:04,949
We must make the last offer of peace.

251
00:21:05,149 --> 00:21:09,764
It's too late. Death is
already here, observing us.

252
00:21:09,998 --> 00:21:12,726
The Pandavas are preparing for war.

253
00:21:13,076 --> 00:21:14,186
Yes.

254
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,326
They will come to inform me
of the death of my children...

255
00:21:18,726 --> 00:21:20,526
...and of my children's children!

256
00:21:20,826 --> 00:21:22,926
Our friends laugh at your fears.

257
00:21:23,226 --> 00:21:26,234
They would throw themselves
into the fire for us.

258
00:21:26,235 --> 00:21:28,727
We have eleven complete
armies against seven.

259
00:21:28,927 --> 00:21:31,326
Victory is a fruit in
my hand. It's the truth,

260
00:21:31,726 --> 00:21:33,449
and I will govern the earth,

261
00:21:34,427 --> 00:21:35,928
or else I will die.

262
00:21:36,128 --> 00:21:37,726
You reign has been rich and calm.

263
00:21:38,026 --> 00:21:41,526
Yes, so the poets say.

264
00:21:42,926 --> 00:21:46,826
All around me I see happiness.

265
00:21:47,826 --> 00:21:48,826
Is it true, Drona?

266
00:21:49,126 --> 00:21:51,226
It is true.

267
00:21:52,426 --> 00:21:55,117
Is it true, Bhishma?

268
00:21:55,658 --> 00:21:56,968
It is true.

269
00:21:58,626 --> 00:22:01,426
Nobody is calling for
our enemies to return.

270
00:22:01,726 --> 00:22:06,026
I was given a kingdom which
I stamped with a number: one!

271
00:22:06,426 --> 00:22:10,774
I won't mutilate this
kingdom, I won't skin it alive.

272
00:22:10,974 --> 00:22:13,126
I will leave it intact
just as it was given.

273
00:22:13,426 --> 00:22:16,726
I will never share
it, I'll yield nothing.

274
00:22:17,126 --> 00:22:18,526
I will kill Arjuna.

275
00:22:19,826 --> 00:22:22,126
I've known this in a dream.

276
00:22:24,226 --> 00:22:25,326
Karna...

277
00:22:25,526 --> 00:22:29,689
This earth that you despise
and walk on with such pride,

278
00:22:29,889 --> 00:22:31,806
will strike you one day.

279
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,726
You always treat me like
an imbecile and a coward.

280
00:22:38,926 --> 00:22:40,926
Is it because of your great age?

281
00:22:41,226 --> 00:22:44,226
Old I may be, as you enjoy repeating,

282
00:22:44,526 --> 00:22:47,526
still I don't know a warrior
in the earth who is my equal.

283
00:22:47,926 --> 00:22:49,026
Not even Drona?

284
00:22:55,626 --> 00:22:57,326
Not even Drona.

285
00:22:58,126 --> 00:23:00,026
Then I ask you, and you can't refuse...

286
00:23:00,326 --> 00:23:02,926
take command, be our general!

287
00:23:03,126 --> 00:23:04,298
Me?

288
00:23:04,498 --> 00:23:07,817
Aren't you the best? The one
that's impossible to kill?

289
00:23:08,017 --> 00:23:10,396
Duryodhana, don't
impose this burden on me!

290
00:23:10,596 --> 00:23:12,052
Everything that's threatening us,

291
00:23:12,252 --> 00:23:15,436
everything that's tearing
us apart comes from you,

292
00:23:15,636 --> 00:23:18,548
from the lunatic promise you
made long before we were born:

293
00:23:18,748 --> 00:23:20,927
"Never a woman, never a child".

294
00:23:21,127 --> 00:23:24,792
Your interminable, useless
life, you've spent here,

295
00:23:24,992 --> 00:23:27,570
eating and drinking
from the king's hand!

296
00:23:27,571 --> 00:23:31,226
If you shrink from this battle,

297
00:23:31,526 --> 00:23:34,826
your white life will be stained.

298
00:23:35,366 --> 00:23:36,697
Bhishma,

299
00:23:37,226 --> 00:23:39,226
accept the commandment.

300
00:23:39,526 --> 00:23:42,435
With you and Drona there
will be no more risk.

301
00:23:42,635 --> 00:23:43,826
You accept?

302
00:23:44,126 --> 00:23:48,340
Or you're afraid of death, after all?

303
00:23:49,204 --> 00:23:52,540
I'm afraid of everything except death.

304
00:23:53,526 --> 00:23:55,440
Yes, I accept.

305
00:23:57,226 --> 00:24:00,227
But on one condition.

306
00:24:04,426 --> 00:24:06,697
Karna must not fight.

307
00:24:07,626 --> 00:24:08,826
Why?

308
00:24:10,126 --> 00:24:12,026
I can't say why.

309
00:24:12,926 --> 00:24:16,226
Are you afraid his light
might outshine yours?

310
00:24:16,526 --> 00:24:18,214
No, that's not what I fear.

311
00:24:18,414 --> 00:24:20,726
Then why leave Karna idle?

312
00:24:31,126 --> 00:24:32,569
Here.

313
00:24:34,773 --> 00:24:37,035
I will only fight...

314
00:24:38,388 --> 00:24:40,585
...after your death.

315
00:24:46,726 --> 00:24:49,086
- Bhishma?
- Yes.

316
00:24:49,380 --> 00:24:50,326
Is it night?

317
00:24:50,526 --> 00:24:53,026
Yes, it's already dark.

318
00:24:53,326 --> 00:24:55,833
- Gandhari?
- I'm here.

319
00:24:57,326 --> 00:25:00,765
Something keeps me awake every night.

320
00:25:00,965 --> 00:25:03,632
I dread the moment of sleep.

321
00:25:03,832 --> 00:25:06,432
Your sons are burning with hatred,

322
00:25:06,632 --> 00:25:09,837
and the same hate is
clouding your reason.

323
00:25:09,838 --> 00:25:12,981
You want to keep what isn't yours.

324
00:25:13,726 --> 00:25:16,165
Stay close to me all night.

325
00:25:23,626 --> 00:25:26,367
- Krishna is on his way.
- Krishna?

326
00:25:26,567 --> 00:25:27,996
He comes in embassy,
sent by Yudhishthira.

327
00:25:28,196 --> 00:25:31,555
This is the perfect moment. Let's
seize Krishna and put him in irons!

328
00:25:31,755 --> 00:25:35,051
Yes. I already have all his
armies, I will keep him prisoner!

329
00:25:35,251 --> 00:25:39,816
No! Krishna brings danger.
Don't touch him! Duryodhana!

330
00:25:47,718 --> 00:25:49,226
Prepare him a palace!

331
00:25:49,526 --> 00:25:51,926
Let all the city gaze upon him!

332
00:25:52,226 --> 00:25:54,626
Sprinkle water before him!

333
00:25:54,926 --> 00:25:58,131
It's not worth the trouble... I'm here.

334
00:26:08,193 --> 00:26:11,180
Ambassadors only receive honours
at the end of their mission.

335
00:26:11,380 --> 00:26:14,787
This refreshment must be eaten in joy.

336
00:26:17,926 --> 00:26:21,861
Dhritharashtra, my words are for you.

337
00:26:22,801 --> 00:26:27,568
The Pandavas, your five
nephews, are like your sons.

338
00:26:27,769 --> 00:26:31,305
You must give them what is theirs.

339
00:26:31,505 --> 00:26:33,426
There's nothing more to say.

340
00:26:33,726 --> 00:26:37,726
Krishna, I am not the master,

341
00:26:38,654 --> 00:26:40,326
I can't answer for myself.

342
00:26:41,326 --> 00:26:43,699
Speak to my son.

343
00:26:43,899 --> 00:26:45,608
Do you wish to listen?

344
00:26:46,926 --> 00:26:48,873
I'm listening.

345
00:26:49,126 --> 00:26:53,739
You're of noble blood, you're learned.

346
00:26:53,939 --> 00:26:55,497
Your qualities are real,

347
00:26:55,697 --> 00:26:58,183
but you're destroying your life.

348
00:26:58,726 --> 00:27:01,704
The man who scorns advice

349
00:27:01,904 --> 00:27:05,566
burns his stomach as
though with green fruit.

350
00:27:05,766 --> 00:27:08,499
His friends groan for a moment,

351
00:27:08,699 --> 00:27:11,729
then disaster catches up with him.

352
00:27:12,154 --> 00:27:16,317
The earth loathes and rejects him.

353
00:27:21,810 --> 00:27:25,079
Krishna, do you believe in
the possibility of peace?

354
00:27:25,326 --> 00:27:27,626
I think what I say is possible,

355
00:27:27,926 --> 00:27:30,026
otherwise I wouldn't say it.

356
00:27:30,326 --> 00:27:31,926
But in your heart...

357
00:27:32,126 --> 00:27:34,726
if you listen without lying...

358
00:27:35,026 --> 00:27:38,126
don't you hear the growl of war?

359
00:27:38,726 --> 00:27:42,236
Can a war without a winner be a war?

360
00:27:42,526 --> 00:27:46,240
Could a man with his
eyes open plunge into war

361
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,696
knowing that everyone will die?

362
00:27:48,896 --> 00:27:51,526
You all keep telling me I can't win.

363
00:27:51,826 --> 00:27:56,726
Very well. Death by
arms is a glorious death.

364
00:27:58,126 --> 00:28:00,526
I will never bow down.

365
00:28:03,826 --> 00:28:08,626
As I was leaving, Yudhishthira
called me back and said:

366
00:28:09,426 --> 00:28:14,326
"Let Dhritharashtra
leave us five villages...

367
00:28:16,026 --> 00:28:19,042
"...and there'll be no war".

368
00:28:21,526 --> 00:28:25,026
A king does not stake his kingdom.

369
00:28:25,326 --> 00:28:29,564
A king does not stoop
to us for five villages.

370
00:28:29,826 --> 00:28:34,549
I will not give five villages, I will
not give one village. I will not give...

371
00:28:35,068 --> 00:28:38,185
the point of a nail of earth.

372
00:28:38,626 --> 00:28:41,326
Then one thing be certain:

373
00:28:41,626 --> 00:28:45,326
you will have your glorious death!

374
00:28:45,826 --> 00:28:48,498
If the earth is clamouring for victims,

375
00:28:48,698 --> 00:28:51,426
we will see a splendid massacre!

376
00:28:55,011 --> 00:28:57,326
Dhritharashtra, call them back.

377
00:28:57,626 --> 00:28:58,926
They want to take hold of me.

378
00:28:59,226 --> 00:29:01,226
Like madmen, like children.

379
00:29:01,426 --> 00:29:06,219
Your son wants to make me
his hostage. It's a mistake.

380
00:29:06,674 --> 00:29:07,607
Stop!

381
00:29:07,807 --> 00:29:10,942
My son, your hatred's for yourself.

382
00:29:11,142 --> 00:29:14,940
After thirteen years of
anger, try to be calm.

383
00:29:15,140 --> 00:29:17,726
Duryodhana, you think I'm alone?

384
00:29:18,226 --> 00:29:22,313
You want to take hold of
Krishna? You don't know who he is?

385
00:29:22,513 --> 00:29:26,625
You think he's defenceless?
Look! Look carefully!

386
00:29:30,526 --> 00:29:31,726
When he laughs...

387
00:29:32,126 --> 00:29:36,426
thirteen tongues of fire
spring from his mouth.

388
00:29:36,826 --> 00:29:39,826
Brahma sits on his brow.

389
00:29:40,126 --> 00:29:43,626
The guardians of the
world stand on his arms.

390
00:29:44,026 --> 00:29:48,126
From his eyes, his ears, his nose,

391
00:29:48,426 --> 00:29:53,812
there are fire and smoke. Rays
of light stream from his skin,

392
00:29:54,012 --> 00:29:57,862
heavenly, universal, terrible form!

393
00:29:58,062 --> 00:30:02,678
Krishna, lighten my eyes for a moment.

394
00:30:03,126 --> 00:30:06,547
I beg you, let me see you.

395
00:30:11,926 --> 00:30:16,521
Yes. Here are eyes.

396
00:30:25,826 --> 00:30:27,918
I see you!

397
00:30:28,118 --> 00:30:30,779
Out of chaos, a miracle.

398
00:30:31,626 --> 00:30:35,489
My sons, can you see as I do?

399
00:30:35,755 --> 00:30:37,026
Can you see?

400
00:30:45,726 --> 00:30:47,438
Where are you going?

401
00:30:47,783 --> 00:30:50,152
Come back, listen to us. Look!

402
00:31:00,626 --> 00:31:03,595
Darkness covers me again.

403
00:31:04,726 --> 00:31:07,993
I can no longer distinguish anything.

404
00:31:09,126 --> 00:31:13,576
Krishna, I did what I could.

405
00:31:15,226 --> 00:31:17,585
So did I.

406
00:31:25,926 --> 00:31:28,026
Kunti, I am leaving.

407
00:31:28,326 --> 00:31:30,426
What should I tell your sons?

408
00:31:30,726 --> 00:31:32,726
That I found you sad and silent...

409
00:31:33,026 --> 00:31:36,251
...because of this war
which is drawing nearer and nearer...

410
00:31:36,451 --> 00:31:38,639
...and which fills you with horror?

411
00:31:38,839 --> 00:31:40,348
No.

412
00:31:42,526 --> 00:31:44,626
Tell Yudhishthira

413
00:31:44,926 --> 00:31:48,898
that a bad king is a contagious disease,

414
00:31:49,098 --> 00:31:50,926
that he perverts his age.

415
00:31:52,226 --> 00:31:56,471
Say to him: "Awake, arise!"

416
00:31:56,671 --> 00:31:58,426
Your son could answer:

417
00:31:58,626 --> 00:32:04,188
What does a piece of land mean
to me? Or pleasure, or life?

418
00:32:04,388 --> 00:32:07,368
Answer him he is not alone.

419
00:32:07,568 --> 00:32:11,850
For all the creatures
around him, he is the centre.

420
00:32:12,050 --> 00:32:17,511
And if he says: "You have
shut your heart to pity"?

421
00:32:17,711 --> 00:32:21,593
Tell him to forge
himself a heart of iron.

422
00:32:21,793 --> 00:32:25,243
Tell him pity is a poison.

423
00:32:29,726 --> 00:32:33,910
He will say he feels
tenderly towards his body.

424
00:32:34,110 --> 00:32:37,571
What right have we
to destroy our bodies?

425
00:32:39,326 --> 00:32:42,654
I would tell my son:
your body is beautiful,

426
00:32:42,854 --> 00:32:44,653
your body is noble,

427
00:32:44,726 --> 00:32:49,858
but if you live with the fear
of death, why ever give you life?

428
00:32:50,058 --> 00:32:51,843
Burn like a torch...

429
00:32:52,043 --> 00:32:55,208
...if only for an instant.

430
00:32:58,726 --> 00:33:00,311
You were with Kunti?

431
00:33:00,511 --> 00:33:03,626
Yes. You were looking for me?

432
00:33:04,324 --> 00:33:05,372
No.

433
00:33:06,105 --> 00:33:08,879
I was walking by myself in the palace.

434
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,126
Sometimes I like to be alone.

435
00:33:18,126 --> 00:33:20,826
I go my own way, you know,

436
00:33:22,026 --> 00:33:26,619
closed, confused...

437
00:33:27,826 --> 00:33:30,205
Plagued by rumours.

438
00:33:32,826 --> 00:33:37,315
Him whom I call father
and her whom I call mother

439
00:33:38,526 --> 00:33:40,756
are not my father and mother.

440
00:33:40,956 --> 00:33:44,616
Karna, you are the son of Kunti.

441
00:33:44,726 --> 00:33:47,760
Your enemies are your brothers.

442
00:33:53,950 --> 00:33:56,323
- They know it?
- No.

443
00:33:56,612 --> 00:34:01,812
But if I reveal your birth to them,
they'll bring you perfumes and gold,

444
00:34:02,012 --> 00:34:05,837
and on the sixth day,
Draupadi will be your wife.

445
00:34:06,026 --> 00:34:10,288
Your brothers, your friends,
your mother, will be happy.

446
00:34:10,326 --> 00:34:13,262
Duryodhana will no longer dare to fight.

447
00:34:13,462 --> 00:34:15,626
My mother abandoned me.

448
00:34:19,226 --> 00:34:22,991
A chariot driver found
me and took me home.

449
00:34:25,126 --> 00:34:27,426
Neither the earth itself,

450
00:34:27,726 --> 00:34:30,992
nor mountains of gold, neither joy

451
00:34:31,192 --> 00:34:36,393
nor fear could make me change
my mind. I have given my word.

452
00:34:36,394 --> 00:34:39,035
I won't take it back.

453
00:34:39,326 --> 00:34:42,474
Don't reveal my birth.

454
00:34:46,245 --> 00:34:48,251
Yudhishthira would want
to give me his crown,

455
00:34:48,451 --> 00:34:51,574
and I would pass it on to Duryodhana.

456
00:34:52,629 --> 00:34:55,456
May Yudhishthira have a long reign.

457
00:34:56,726 --> 00:35:01,711
Everything I've said
to wound him, I regret.

458
00:35:06,235 --> 00:35:07,584
Krishna...

459
00:35:10,166 --> 00:35:13,420
We're going to celebrate
the great sacrifice of arms,

460
00:35:15,055 --> 00:35:18,712
and the eye that lights on
everything will be yours.

461
00:35:20,515 --> 00:35:25,123
We will have drums and cries of war,

462
00:35:25,573 --> 00:35:30,258
we will have blood, and skulls
in which to drink the blood.

463
00:35:30,458 --> 00:35:33,526
The sacrifice will invade the night,

464
00:35:34,340 --> 00:35:36,689
dispose of everything.

465
00:35:37,855 --> 00:35:39,968
I know what you want.

466
00:35:41,609 --> 00:35:45,534
I give you the earth, you reject it.

467
00:35:46,527 --> 00:35:51,306
Put Arjuna in front of me, and do
not tell him I'm his mother's son.

468
00:35:51,612 --> 00:35:55,474
The victory of the Pandavas is assured.

469
00:35:56,379 --> 00:35:59,477
Tell your friends: Look!

470
00:35:59,677 --> 00:36:02,591
It's spring, the buds are sweet,

471
00:36:02,791 --> 00:36:06,715
the water sparkles,
everyone is joyful...

472
00:36:06,915 --> 00:36:08,880
...We're going to die.

473
00:36:10,887 --> 00:36:11,973
You,

474
00:36:13,943 --> 00:36:16,142
who know me so well...

475
00:36:17,500 --> 00:36:20,567
...why do you trouble me?

476
00:36:21,526 --> 00:36:25,007
If you are here to bring the
earth to its end, very well:

477
00:36:25,931 --> 00:36:27,740
the time has come.

478
00:36:28,575 --> 00:36:29,621
No.

479
00:36:30,003 --> 00:36:32,321
I'm not here to destroy.

480
00:36:32,521 --> 00:36:35,610
Flesh and blood rain from the sky,

481
00:36:37,078 --> 00:36:39,966
bodiless voices cry in the night.

482
00:36:41,709 --> 00:36:43,310
Horses weep...

483
00:36:44,592 --> 00:36:50,582
One-eyed, one-legged
monstrosities hop across the land.

484
00:36:51,366 --> 00:36:54,431
Birds purge on flags
with fire in their beaks

485
00:36:54,631 --> 00:36:57,540
crying: "Ripe! It's ripe!"

486
00:36:57,740 --> 00:37:01,672
A cow gives birth to an
ass, a woman a jackal.

487
00:37:01,872 --> 00:37:05,176
Newborn babies dance,

488
00:37:05,883 --> 00:37:07,794
cripples laugh.

489
00:37:08,257 --> 00:37:10,726
The different races merge.

490
00:37:11,078 --> 00:37:13,016
Vultures come to prey.

491
00:37:13,216 --> 00:37:16,926
The setting sun is surrounded
by disfigured corpses.

492
00:37:18,426 --> 00:37:23,226
Time will destroy the universe.

493
00:37:25,426 --> 00:37:28,126
I'm racked all night by my dreams.

494
00:37:28,426 --> 00:37:31,371
I've dreamed of you surrounded
by bleeding entrails.

495
00:37:31,571 --> 00:37:33,626
I've dreamed of Yudhishthira radiant,

496
00:37:33,926 --> 00:37:38,681
mounted on a pile of bones,
drinking from a golden goblet.

497
00:37:41,326 --> 00:37:46,380
I know from where victory will come.

498
00:37:48,026 --> 00:37:50,358
You must be right.

499
00:37:52,090 --> 00:37:54,426
If I can't touch your heart,

500
00:37:54,626 --> 00:37:57,359
the ruin of the earth is near.

501
00:37:58,426 --> 00:38:00,426
One thing is certain, Krishna.

502
00:38:01,926 --> 00:38:05,826
We will make a great journey together.

503
00:38:06,926 --> 00:38:11,626
Yes, and we will find each other again,

504
00:38:13,226 --> 00:38:14,821
one day.

505
00:40:15,303 --> 00:40:17,766
The two armies are face to face,

506
00:40:17,966 --> 00:40:20,775
ready to throw
themselves on one another.

507
00:40:22,016 --> 00:40:24,826
For fourteen years I have
waited for this moment.

508
00:40:27,778 --> 00:40:31,153
Krishna is preparing your chariot,
he's talking to your horses,

509
00:40:31,353 --> 00:40:33,226
he's checking your weapons.

510
00:40:33,745 --> 00:40:36,966
Everything is in your
hands. You know it.

511
00:41:33,026 --> 00:41:35,858
Duryodhana, you have chosen war.

512
00:41:36,058 --> 00:41:37,334
It is here.

513
00:41:37,534 --> 00:41:39,247
Now, all is ready.

514
00:41:39,447 --> 00:41:41,626
My warriors, my horses, my chariots,

515
00:41:41,926 --> 00:41:43,426
many millions of weapons,

516
00:41:43,726 --> 00:41:45,926
convoys, food stoves, forgeries

517
00:41:46,226 --> 00:41:49,637
tents for the wounded,
logs for the funeral pyres,

518
00:41:49,837 --> 00:41:52,326
musicians, soothsayers,

519
00:41:52,726 --> 00:41:54,711
poisonous snakes.

520
00:41:55,218 --> 00:41:57,049
My orders are given.

521
00:41:57,249 --> 00:41:59,937
My armies shake the earth.

522
00:42:00,137 --> 00:42:03,611
Arjuna, with Krishna at his
reins, will give the signal,

523
00:42:03,811 --> 00:42:07,293
and the battle you wish for will begin.

524
00:42:09,526 --> 00:42:11,826
We must fix the rules of war.

525
00:42:12,126 --> 00:42:13,740
Speak.

526
00:42:14,926 --> 00:42:17,226
Never fight at night.

527
00:42:18,126 --> 00:42:21,272
Never strike a fallen man,

528
00:42:21,472 --> 00:42:25,766
an unarmed man, nor a man who
had withdrawn from the fray.

529
00:42:25,966 --> 00:42:29,289
And never strike in the
back, nor on the legs.

530
00:42:34,926 --> 00:42:37,014
Bhishma, I touch your feet.

531
00:42:37,214 --> 00:42:39,306
We are going to fight against you,

532
00:42:39,426 --> 00:42:42,526
you whom no one can kill.

533
00:42:42,926 --> 00:42:45,301
Grant me leave to strike you.

534
00:42:45,926 --> 00:42:48,900
If you hadn't come to me, Yudhishthira,

535
00:42:49,100 --> 00:42:51,990
I would have hated and despised you.

536
00:42:52,726 --> 00:42:55,726
I am chained to your enemies.

537
00:42:56,026 --> 00:42:59,326
Commit yourself to the struggle,

538
00:42:59,726 --> 00:43:02,494
and fight until you win.

539
00:43:49,326 --> 00:43:53,198
Drona, I touch your feet.
We will fight against you,

540
00:43:53,398 --> 00:43:57,882
you who made us. Grant
me leave to strike you.

541
00:43:58,082 --> 00:44:00,809
If you hadn't come to me,

542
00:44:01,009 --> 00:44:03,804
I too would have despised you.

543
00:44:04,189 --> 00:44:07,300
I too am chained to your enemies,

544
00:44:07,566 --> 00:44:10,070
I too wish for your victory.

545
00:44:10,270 --> 00:44:12,821
Fight with them, but think of me.

546
00:44:13,021 --> 00:44:14,585
You can't be beaten.

547
00:44:14,785 --> 00:44:16,374
You promise us victory?

548
00:44:16,756 --> 00:44:20,006
As long as Bhishma and I are alive,

549
00:44:20,206 --> 00:44:22,526
that victory is impossible.

550
00:44:24,026 --> 00:44:26,931
Victory and defeat are impossible?

551
00:44:27,156 --> 00:44:28,499
That's what I say.

552
00:44:29,054 --> 00:44:31,688
Is there a way of killing you?

553
00:44:31,888 --> 00:44:35,705
No. Not unless I lay down my arms

554
00:44:35,905 --> 00:44:38,083
to prepare for death.

555
00:44:39,067 --> 00:44:41,951
Before whom could you
lay down your arms?

556
00:44:42,505 --> 00:44:44,770
Before a man of truth,

557
00:44:45,283 --> 00:44:47,912
the day he chooses to lie.

558
00:44:53,845 --> 00:44:56,321
Who will give the signal
to launch the battle?

559
00:44:56,521 --> 00:44:59,780
Arjuna. He's led by Krishna,

560
00:44:59,980 --> 00:45:02,358
he's advancing between the two armies.

561
00:45:53,788 --> 00:45:56,127
Krishna, my legs grow weak.

562
00:45:57,026 --> 00:46:00,026
My mouth is dry, my body trembles.

563
00:46:01,026 --> 00:46:03,916
My bow slips from my hand.

564
00:46:05,426 --> 00:46:08,826
Uncle, cousins, nephews...

565
00:46:11,126 --> 00:46:14,194
...and Drona my teacher,
they are all there.

566
00:46:14,626 --> 00:46:17,826
I can't bring death to my own family.

567
00:46:25,026 --> 00:46:27,126
My resolution's gone.

568
00:46:27,526 --> 00:46:29,726
I can't defend myself.

569
00:46:30,026 --> 00:46:32,326
I will wait here for death.

570
00:46:41,426 --> 00:46:44,426
Arjuna has thrown down
his bow and his arrows.

571
00:46:44,826 --> 00:46:47,426
He has thrown down
his bow and his arrows?

572
00:46:52,926 --> 00:46:55,419
Why does he bow his head?

573
00:46:56,526 --> 00:46:58,026
Where is his pride?

574
00:46:58,326 --> 00:47:01,026
Where is his wish to fight?

575
00:47:01,626 --> 00:47:04,126
What is this mad and shameful weakness?

576
00:47:04,426 --> 00:47:05,726
Stand up and fight!

577
00:47:06,026 --> 00:47:07,526
I'm in anguish.

578
00:47:07,826 --> 00:47:10,388
I can't see where my duty lies.

579
00:47:10,588 --> 00:47:12,823
Teach me.

580
00:47:15,526 --> 00:47:16,826
What is Krishna doing?

581
00:47:17,126 --> 00:47:18,626
He's speaking to Arjuna.

582
00:47:18,826 --> 00:47:19,826
What is he saying?

583
00:47:20,526 --> 00:47:25,618
He's telling Arjuna that
victory and defeat are the same.

584
00:47:26,526 --> 00:47:30,972
He's urging him to act, but not
to reflect on the fruit of the act.

585
00:47:31,387 --> 00:47:35,369
He says to him: Seek detachment,

586
00:47:35,526 --> 00:47:38,740
fight without desire.

587
00:47:38,926 --> 00:47:41,937
You say: forget desire, seek detachment,

588
00:47:42,137 --> 00:47:46,234
yet you urge me to battle, to massacre.

589
00:47:46,434 --> 00:47:48,912
Your words are ambiguous, I am confused.

590
00:47:49,112 --> 00:47:52,857
Krishna tells him: don't
withdraw into solitude.

591
00:47:53,057 --> 00:47:55,470
Renunciation is not enough.

592
00:47:55,949 --> 00:48:00,517
You must act, yet action
mustn't dominate you.

593
00:48:00,526 --> 00:48:04,939
In the heart of action, you must
remain free from all attachment.

594
00:48:05,139 --> 00:48:08,726
How can I put into practice
what you are demanding of me?

595
00:48:09,126 --> 00:48:11,826
The mind is capricious, unstable...

596
00:48:12,126 --> 00:48:15,538
...it's evasive, feverish,
turbulent, tenacious.

597
00:48:16,229 --> 00:48:19,016
It's harder to subdue
than taming the wind.

598
00:48:19,286 --> 00:48:22,613
You must learn to see with the same eye

599
00:48:23,026 --> 00:48:26,926
a mount of earth and a heap of gold,

600
00:48:27,326 --> 00:48:30,129
a cow and a sage,

601
00:48:30,329 --> 00:48:33,981
a dog and a man who eats the dog.

602
00:48:35,226 --> 00:48:37,526
There's another intelligence

603
00:48:39,026 --> 00:48:41,226
beyond the mind.

604
00:48:42,007 --> 00:48:47,212
Passion drags us away.
Darkness dulls our senses.

605
00:48:47,412 --> 00:48:49,826
How can I find this intelligence?

606
00:48:51,126 --> 00:48:52,126
With what will?

607
00:48:52,426 --> 00:48:55,226
To reply to this question,

608
00:48:55,526 --> 00:49:00,061
Krishna led Arjuna through
the tangled forest of illusion.

609
00:49:00,826 --> 00:49:05,294
He began to teach him
the ancient yoga of wisdom

610
00:49:06,026 --> 00:49:09,117
and the mysterious path of action.

611
00:49:09,317 --> 00:49:11,326
He spoke for a long time,

612
00:49:11,626 --> 00:49:13,526
very long time,

613
00:49:14,326 --> 00:49:19,569
between the two armies
preparing to destroy themselves.

614
00:49:30,826 --> 00:49:34,655
All men are born into illusion.

615
00:49:35,226 --> 00:49:39,498
How can man reach the truth,
if one is born in illusion?

616
00:49:39,698 --> 00:49:43,926
Slowly, Krishna led Arjuna

617
00:49:44,326 --> 00:49:46,826
through all the fibres of his spirit,

618
00:49:47,026 --> 00:49:50,726
he showed him the deepest
movements of his being,

619
00:49:51,126 --> 00:49:53,526
and his true battlefield,

620
00:49:53,826 --> 00:49:57,226
where you need neither
warriors nor arrows...

621
00:49:58,226 --> 00:50:01,321
...where each man must fight alone.

622
00:50:01,626 --> 00:50:05,418
It is the most secret knowledge.

623
00:50:05,618 --> 00:50:08,160
He showed him the whole truth.

624
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,533
He taught him how the world unfolds.

625
00:50:13,326 --> 00:50:17,505
I feel my illusions vanish one by one.

626
00:50:18,926 --> 00:50:20,126
Now,

627
00:50:22,126 --> 00:50:25,426
if I am capable of contemplating it,

628
00:50:26,426 --> 00:50:29,541
show me your universal form.

629
00:50:47,926 --> 00:50:49,926
I see you,

630
00:50:50,326 --> 00:50:53,626
in one point I see the entire world.

631
00:50:54,226 --> 00:50:58,626
All the warriors hurl
themselves into your mouth.

632
00:50:59,626 --> 00:51:03,226
You grind them between your teeth.

633
00:51:03,526 --> 00:51:08,126
They wish to be destroyed,
and you destroy them.

634
00:51:10,026 --> 00:51:13,126
Through your body I see the stars,

635
00:51:14,126 --> 00:51:20,126
I see life and death, I see silence.

636
00:51:22,226 --> 00:51:25,226
Tell me who you are,

637
00:51:25,626 --> 00:51:31,095
I'm shaken to the depths. I'm afraid.

638
00:51:39,926 --> 00:51:45,384
I am all that you
think, all that you say.

639
00:51:46,098 --> 00:51:50,152
Everything hangs on me,
like pearls on a thread.

640
00:51:50,673 --> 00:51:54,886
I am the earth's scent
and the fire's heat.

641
00:51:55,086 --> 00:51:58,393
I'm appearance and disappearance.

642
00:51:58,593 --> 00:52:01,231
I'm the trickster's hoax.

643
00:52:01,431 --> 00:52:04,488
I'm the radiance of all that shines.

644
00:52:04,688 --> 00:52:07,026
I'm time grown old.

645
00:52:07,326 --> 00:52:10,759
All beings fall into the night,

646
00:52:10,959 --> 00:52:14,726
and all beings are
brought back to daylight.

647
00:52:14,927 --> 00:52:18,920
I have already defeated
all these warriors.

648
00:52:19,326 --> 00:52:21,826
But he who thinks he can kill,

649
00:52:22,126 --> 00:52:24,726
and he who thinks he can be killed,

650
00:52:25,126 --> 00:52:27,387
are both mistaken.

651
00:52:27,587 --> 00:52:30,926
No weapon can pierce the
life that informs you.

652
00:52:31,226 --> 00:52:35,226
No fire can burn it, no
water can drench it...

653
00:52:35,626 --> 00:52:38,726
No wind can make it dry.

654
00:52:39,126 --> 00:52:42,926
Have no fear and rise up,

655
00:52:43,743 --> 00:52:45,699
because I love you.

656
00:52:51,426 --> 00:52:55,826
Now you can dominate your mysterious

657
00:52:56,026 --> 00:52:58,526
and incomprehensible spirit.

658
00:52:58,826 --> 00:53:01,226
You can see its other side.

659
00:53:01,526 --> 00:53:03,926
Act as you must act.

660
00:53:04,226 --> 00:53:07,426
I myself, I'm never without action.

661
00:53:08,726 --> 00:53:10,326
Rise up!

662
00:53:12,826 --> 00:53:18,558
My illusion is dissolved.
My error destroyed.

663
00:53:18,826 --> 00:53:21,926
By your grace now, I'm firm.

664
00:53:22,326 --> 00:53:24,819
My doubts are dispersed.

665
00:53:26,026 --> 00:53:29,203
I will act according to your word.

666
00:53:31,826 --> 00:53:34,826
When will they stop talking?

667
00:53:35,426 --> 00:53:37,626
If Arjuna refuses to fight,

668
00:53:37,926 --> 00:53:39,826
if he is paralysed with fear,

669
00:53:40,226 --> 00:53:44,122
let him and his brothers go back
to the woods, and let me reign!

670
00:53:47,521 --> 00:53:48,705
Vyasa,

671
00:53:49,426 --> 00:53:51,806
you who are composing this poem,

672
00:53:52,006 --> 00:53:53,726
do you know who'll win?

673
00:53:55,905 --> 00:53:59,661
The future doesn't
exist, Dhritharashtra.

674
00:54:00,526 --> 00:54:03,526
But I can give you
eyes to see the battle.

675
00:54:04,226 --> 00:54:08,583
No. I don't want to see my children die.

676
00:55:14,026 --> 00:55:15,942
Already torn flesh...

677
00:55:16,392 --> 00:55:21,267
...stomachs ripped, stamping
horses crashing chests...

678
00:55:21,926 --> 00:55:25,126
Fathers can't recognise their sons.

679
00:55:25,826 --> 00:55:29,226
The dying cry: It's me!

680
00:55:29,626 --> 00:55:31,826
Do I know you?

681
00:55:32,126 --> 00:55:35,350
Don't move! Don't leave me!

682
00:56:22,003 --> 00:56:23,282
Stop!

683
00:56:23,965 --> 00:56:25,387
The day is over.

1
00:00:43,144 --> 00:00:48,009
WAR

2
00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:48,700
Bhishma, you've launched these attacks...

3
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,700
and you've been thrown back.

4
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:57,459
By what sorcery? You,
whose strength is legendary,

5
00:01:57,659 --> 00:02:00,518
you, the only stranger to death...

6
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:03,200
...are you on our enemies' side?

7
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:06,581
They have Arjuna and Bhima against me,

8
00:02:06,781 --> 00:02:08,573
Krishna is their guide.

9
00:02:08,773 --> 00:02:10,131
Bhishma loves battles,

10
00:02:10,331 --> 00:02:14,387
the cries, the frenzy...
Blood feeds his pride,

11
00:02:14,587 --> 00:02:16,700
yet he pities those he fights.

12
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:20,000
Let him withdraw and
I will take his place.

13
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:23,400
Yes. If you have fear or pity, withdraw.

14
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,500
The man who is about to die sees
all the trees covered with gold.

15
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:32,900
You are going to die.

16
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:36,765
I saw Bhima hurl himself
towards me crying:

17
00:02:36,965 --> 00:02:38,915
I'll kill you! I'll kill you!

18
00:02:39,115 --> 00:02:43,769
Bhishma, you have failed me.

19
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,700
Now I demand victory.

20
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,200
Tomorrow will be my greatest battle.

21
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,500
Leave me alone.

22
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,825
Drona, ask your son to leave.

23
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:12,398
Do you love your son?

24
00:03:12,598 --> 00:03:15,200
Yes. He's all I have.

25
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:20,360
I saw a stranger in a dream. He
cried out: I bear Drona's death.

26
00:03:23,093 --> 00:03:27,318
Did he say why he wanted to kill me?

27
00:03:27,518 --> 00:03:29,281
He said you know.

28
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:34,400
No one knows why he has to die.

29
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,246
No one. Except you, Bhishma.

30
00:03:55,700 --> 00:03:57,700
Is it you, Amba?

31
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:05,900
As you see...

32
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,700
I wait for you every night.

33
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,200
I know.

34
00:04:14,763 --> 00:04:17,500
Stop hunting me across the earth.

35
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:20,818
Accept to be at peace at last.

36
00:04:22,050 --> 00:04:24,069
I bring you strange news.

37
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,612
No one wished to fight
against you. Alone...

38
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:37,438
...I climbed to the snows that
cover the roof of the world,

39
00:04:37,638 --> 00:04:41,920
seeking to know how
death can outwit death.

40
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,900
In the icy fog, in the biting wind,

41
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,635
for twelve years I stayed
upright and reached on one toe,

42
00:04:49,835 --> 00:04:52,131
waiting for the voice of a god.

43
00:04:52,615 --> 00:04:54,200
I turned into rock,

44
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:57,000
I became snow.

45
00:04:57,900 --> 00:05:02,995
After twelve years a
voice rang out, commanding:

46
00:05:03,876 --> 00:05:07,480
"Gather bark, twigs, musk".

47
00:05:07,981 --> 00:05:13,268
I did so. "Make a pile
of dry wood". I did so.

48
00:05:13,599 --> 00:05:16,600
"Rub flints together, light the wood,

49
00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:19,400
"Wait until the flames hide the sky".

50
00:05:19,900 --> 00:05:24,100
My eyes open, I threw
myself into the fire.

51
00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:26,400
My skin crackled.

52
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:30,300
The smell reached my
nostrils, I chocked...

53
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:34,264
I was in pain, I cried out.

54
00:05:36,900 --> 00:05:38,914
I'm dead, Bhishma.

55
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,100
- You are dead?
- Yes.

56
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:44,200
So you lost your desire to kill me?

57
00:05:45,366 --> 00:05:46,637
No.

58
00:05:48,290 --> 00:05:52,583
In death's grey zone, I
waited for my new strength.

59
00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:55,000
One single image before my eyes:

60
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,400
yours, Bhishma.

61
00:05:59,083 --> 00:06:02,100
I burned myself for you

62
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,039
and now I knew another birth.

63
00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:09,700
Here is my second surprise:

64
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,551
I'm taking part in this
battle and I'm now a man.

65
00:06:13,946 --> 00:06:15,300
What is your name?

66
00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:19,017
I have a man's shape, a man's sex.

67
00:06:20,306 --> 00:06:24,452
One thing is sure, it never wavers.

68
00:06:24,652 --> 00:06:28,600
In the depths of my
heart, a woman's heart...

69
00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:30,970
...there's only you.

70
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:35,013
You alone, for all time.

71
00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:44,462
My name's now Sikhandin.

72
00:06:44,943 --> 00:06:46,801
Sikhandin

73
00:07:01,459 --> 00:07:02,790
Bhishma,

74
00:07:15,348 --> 00:07:19,000
After nine days of
battle victory eludes us.

75
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,500
Our chariots are smashed,

76
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:24,000
our finest horsemen beheaded.

77
00:07:24,396 --> 00:07:28,208
Death and blood spurt from your
hand, and we are drowning in them.

78
00:07:28,993 --> 00:07:32,700
Bhishma, how can we defeat
you? You must tell us.

79
00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:36,300
As long as I'm alive, that's impossible.

80
00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:38,200
You must kill me first.

81
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,624
But you can choose when to die.

82
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,406
How can we kill you?

83
00:07:42,948 --> 00:07:46,687
No one can kill me as
long as I carry my arms.

84
00:07:46,887 --> 00:07:49,900
And if you lay down your arms?

85
00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:55,736
Yes, if I lay down my arms and I accepted
to die, yes, then you could kill me.

86
00:07:55,936 --> 00:07:57,800
Who could make you lay down your arms?

87
00:08:01,311 --> 00:08:03,801
You want me to die, Yudhishthira?

88
00:08:04,001 --> 00:08:05,600
You are asking me to die?

89
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,000
You brought us up. How
could I want you to die?

90
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:10,600
Yet you must understand.

91
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,909
As no one can kill you, the massacre
will continue until no life remains.

92
00:08:16,259 --> 00:08:18,100
Yes, that's true.

93
00:08:18,384 --> 00:08:20,393
I've made my decision.

94
00:08:21,015 --> 00:08:23,895
If you can't help us,
Bhishma, I will stop the war.

95
00:08:24,523 --> 00:08:25,905
No.

96
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,929
There is a man fighting in your ranks,

97
00:08:30,129 --> 00:08:32,613
the only man capable of killing me.

98
00:08:32,813 --> 00:08:34,731
- Who?
- Sikhandin.

99
00:08:35,322 --> 00:08:36,423
Yes,

100
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,766
if I saw Sikhandin before me, I
could not fight and he could kill me.

101
00:08:41,966 --> 00:08:43,590
Why?

102
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,529
No. I'll say no more.

103
00:08:48,729 --> 00:08:50,526
Kill me if you wish,

104
00:08:50,726 --> 00:08:53,473
but grant me the secret of my death.

105
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:55,262
Arjuna...

106
00:08:55,987 --> 00:09:01,164
put Sikhandin in the ring tomorrow,
tell him to raise his bow and strike!

107
00:09:02,430 --> 00:09:04,690
It's lawful to kill an old man,

108
00:09:04,890 --> 00:09:08,300
when he comes towards
you bearing your death.

109
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,759
Do you recognise me?

110
00:09:42,959 --> 00:09:44,772
You are Sikhandin.

111
00:09:44,900 --> 00:09:48,606
Go close to him. Only you can kill him!

112
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,819
My hand shakes.

113
00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:01,573
How can I kill this immense old man!

114
00:10:01,773 --> 00:10:05,237
His spirit has already
left him. Attack him!

115
00:10:06,900 --> 00:10:09,103
Go close to him!

116
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,723
I can't raise my arm!

117
00:10:17,923 --> 00:10:23,349
Amba! In memory of a long past day,

118
00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:27,006
I now bring this slaughter to its end.

119
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,075
Arjuna and Yudhishthira!

120
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,341
Listen to me!

121
00:10:40,300 --> 00:10:42,300
My body drops away,

122
00:10:42,900 --> 00:10:45,500
it's wounded and it's dismayed.

123
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,254
The day and the moment have come.

124
00:10:52,590 --> 00:10:57,426
Throw your arrow. You threw
yourself into the fire to kill him.

125
00:10:57,626 --> 00:11:00,200
Why does he call me Amba?

126
00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:04,757
Why such hate? I can't remember.

127
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:10,088
Shoot an arrow. Don't let
him take back his life.

128
00:11:10,288 --> 00:11:11,491
I can't.

129
00:11:11,691 --> 00:11:13,238
Shoot an arrow.

130
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:40,792
The precise arrow that kills
me, Sikhandin, is not yours,

131
00:11:41,158 --> 00:11:42,936
you didn't shoot it.

132
00:11:43,136 --> 00:11:46,495
It enters my flesh like a snake.

133
00:11:47,300 --> 00:11:49,810
It's Arjuna's arrow.

134
00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:11,504
All my life, he's been my guide.

135
00:12:11,704 --> 00:12:12,723
Is he dead?

136
00:12:12,923 --> 00:12:15,945
Not yet, but he will die,

137
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,226
and others will die.

138
00:12:18,300 --> 00:12:21,704
Your friends, your sons,

139
00:12:22,344 --> 00:12:24,788
they will die because of you.

140
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,981
You didn't kill him,

141
00:12:34,181 --> 00:12:36,364
he decided to end his life.

142
00:12:36,564 --> 00:12:38,183
I loved him.

143
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:44,334
You're my best friend, yet
no doubt you'll see me die.

144
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:08,451
Arjuna, give me the pillow I need.

145
00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:23,917
Bhishma, can you really die?

146
00:13:25,531 --> 00:13:28,262
I'll remain on this bed

147
00:13:28,462 --> 00:13:32,523
until the day when the
sun reaches its zenith,

148
00:13:32,723 --> 00:13:35,000
then I will die.

149
00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:38,733
Arjuna, I'm thirsty.

150
00:14:15,669 --> 00:14:16,878
Karna...

151
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,928
I have always been an
object of hate for you.

152
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,485
Give me your hand.

153
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,400
Come.

154
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:30,528
You betray your nature,

155
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,600
you detest those who have
the qualities you lack,

156
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,527
but you are strong and profound,

157
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,887
as strong as Arjuna.

158
00:14:42,500 --> 00:14:45,539
I ask you Karna, unite.

159
00:14:45,799 --> 00:14:48,014
Paralyze the war.

160
00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:50,846
Live peacefully on this earth.

161
00:14:51,046 --> 00:14:53,789
Duryodhana gave me everything.

162
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,074
I will keep faith with him.

163
00:14:57,274 --> 00:15:00,129
Grant me your permission to fight.

164
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,100
I beg you,

165
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,865
speak to me favourably before
you enter the world of the dead.

166
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:18,343
Can you fight without anger?

167
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,135
Without pride?

168
00:15:22,995 --> 00:15:24,255
Yes.

169
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,200
Give me your leave.

170
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,796
Go, then,

171
00:15:30,996 --> 00:15:35,690
join the battle, since life
seems to you so trifling,

172
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,846
and set me facing the east,

173
00:15:40,046 --> 00:15:42,881
towards the rising sun.

174
00:16:15,188 --> 00:16:16,502
Karna...

175
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,242
Who's there?

176
00:16:21,459 --> 00:16:23,700
It's me, Kunti.

177
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:44,000
I remember that day,

178
00:16:44,300 --> 00:16:46,000
long ago,

179
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,400
when in the middle of a
tournament you appeared,

180
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,518
glowing, radiant.

181
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,695
What do you want?

182
00:16:54,895 --> 00:16:56,214
I've come to find you,

183
00:16:56,414 --> 00:16:58,987
to hold you by the hand
to take you with me.

184
00:16:59,187 --> 00:17:01,800
Your voice draws me deep into the past,

185
00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:04,331
back to my childhood,

186
00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:08,769
the sound of your voice.

187
00:17:09,900 --> 00:17:13,000
I feel a hand on my forehead.

188
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:17,978
Often in my sleep, a veiled
woman would come to me.

189
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:21,600
Are you still a dream?

190
00:17:23,100 --> 00:17:28,644
Why does the mother of my
enemies suddenly make me a child?

191
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,080
Come with me.

192
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,637
Rage, hate, passion for victory,

193
00:17:36,837 --> 00:17:40,892
they all seem false
like fevers at night.

194
00:17:41,092 --> 00:17:42,456
Where do you want to take me?

195
00:17:42,656 --> 00:17:46,303
Over there, to the other
camp, towards those lights.

196
00:17:46,503 --> 00:17:48,046
- Towards my enemies?
- Yes.

197
00:17:48,246 --> 00:17:49,667
- Towards Arjuna?
- Yes.

198
00:17:49,867 --> 00:17:52,728
- And there I'll find my mother again?
- Yes.

199
00:17:52,928 --> 00:17:56,019
She rejected me from the very first.

200
00:17:56,219 --> 00:17:59,496
She put me in a cradle,
gave me over to a river.

201
00:17:59,696 --> 00:18:03,782
The cruellest enemy couldn't
have done me so much harm.

202
00:18:03,982 --> 00:18:08,245
She never gave me her
mother's tenderness,

203
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,721
her warmth.

204
00:18:14,300 --> 00:18:19,300
Kunti... Tonight, for the first time,

205
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,280
you are concerned with me.

206
00:18:24,100 --> 00:18:25,667
Why?

207
00:18:25,867 --> 00:18:29,085
I want to give you back
your rights, your position.

208
00:18:29,285 --> 00:18:30,452
It's not true.

209
00:18:30,652 --> 00:18:33,520
You know I intend to fight and
you're afraid I will kill Arjuna!

210
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,191
Karna... You are my son,

211
00:18:37,576 --> 00:18:39,782
my eldest son.

212
00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:43,438
You're born of me.

213
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,300
Your mother asks your pardon.

214
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,703
I was so young...

215
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,487
Go and join Arjuna.

216
00:19:02,574 --> 00:19:06,127
When you are united,
everything will be possible.

217
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,682
Give me your hand.

218
00:19:17,105 --> 00:19:20,528
Come with me towards the lights.

219
00:19:48,606 --> 00:19:50,649
I'm the son of a driver.

220
00:19:50,849 --> 00:19:55,364
What you have torn, nothing can repair.

221
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,561
Leave me alone,

222
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:03,000
naked once again,

223
00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:05,000
on this...

224
00:20:05,300 --> 00:20:07,100
...great...

225
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:08,857
...red...

226
00:20:10,583 --> 00:20:12,196
...river.

227
00:20:15,243 --> 00:20:16,288
Go!

228
00:20:25,026 --> 00:20:26,073
Kunti,

229
00:20:28,379 --> 00:20:30,525
I can do one thing for you.

230
00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:35,100
I will not kill
Yudhishthira, I promise you.

231
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,200
I will not kill Bhima. I promise you,

232
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:43,693
nor the twins, sons of
Madri. I will not kill them.

233
00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:48,621
I will only kill your son Arjuna,

234
00:20:49,300 --> 00:20:51,639
for one of us must die.

235
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,156
Him or me.

236
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,810
In that way,

237
00:20:59,881 --> 00:21:01,449
after the battle

238
00:21:01,649 --> 00:21:05,323
you will keep the same number of sons.

239
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,007
What do we hear?

240
00:22:02,500 --> 00:22:04,000
What's this noise?

241
00:22:04,300 --> 00:22:06,813
The army lights up the night.

242
00:22:07,013 --> 00:22:09,963
Thousands, thousands of flames.

243
00:22:10,163 --> 00:22:12,908
The shining rises from the earth.

244
00:22:13,108 --> 00:22:14,973
They are even fighting at night?

245
00:22:15,147 --> 00:22:17,791
It's as though the trees of a forest

246
00:22:17,991 --> 00:22:20,853
were covered with glittering flies.

247
00:22:21,053 --> 00:22:26,027
The earth is burning. It's like
the last night of the world.

248
00:22:26,433 --> 00:22:28,545
They must be stopped!

249
00:22:28,972 --> 00:22:32,191
They must be told to respect the rules!

250
00:22:32,993 --> 00:22:37,049
Vyasa, go and tell them!

251
00:22:37,700 --> 00:22:39,767
Karna is going to destroy us!

252
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Arjuna! Where are you going?

253
00:22:42,300 --> 00:22:44,006
I'm returning to the fight!

254
00:22:44,993 --> 00:22:47,000
I don't advise you
to face Karna tonight.

255
00:22:47,300 --> 00:22:49,689
The iron spear he clasps
in his hand is for you.

256
00:22:49,889 --> 00:22:51,900
He's been keeping it for
yourself for a long time.

257
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,699
It's a divine spear
that can't fail to kill.

258
00:22:54,899 --> 00:22:56,400
What can save us?

259
00:22:56,900 --> 00:23:00,594
It's a trick of darkness we need.

260
00:23:02,100 --> 00:23:05,262
No one can stop Karna, except...

261
00:23:05,462 --> 00:23:06,551
Who?

262
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,771
I'm thinking of Ghatotkatcha,

263
00:23:08,971 --> 00:23:11,308
the son of Bhima and the Rakshasi.

264
00:23:11,508 --> 00:23:15,626
He swore that one day he
would arise to save his father.

265
00:23:33,900 --> 00:23:37,381
Here I am. Where is my father?

266
00:23:37,581 --> 00:23:40,992
Fighting. But he's
wounded and threatened.

267
00:23:41,300 --> 00:23:42,767
Who's threatening him?

268
00:23:42,967 --> 00:23:47,251
Karna. Listen carefully, Ghatotkatcha.

269
00:23:47,742 --> 00:23:50,772
None other than you can
stop the driver's son.

270
00:23:50,972 --> 00:23:54,964
Karna's power is terrifying,
but it's not equal to yours.

271
00:23:55,164 --> 00:23:58,533
Demon of eclipses and illusions,

272
00:23:59,300 --> 00:24:02,734
you are your family's last defence.

273
00:24:03,700 --> 00:24:06,479
In the secret of darkness,

274
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,750
offer Karna to the gods.

275
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,980
Describe Ghatotkatcha.

276
00:24:30,180 --> 00:24:33,732
His eyes are blood, his beard green,

277
00:24:33,932 --> 00:24:37,378
his mouth a gash like the gate of death.

278
00:24:37,776 --> 00:24:40,455
He is cross-eyed, vast bellied

279
00:24:40,655 --> 00:24:43,100
sharp-toothed.

280
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:47,400
His flag drenched in blood, it's
crapped with a wreath of guts

281
00:24:47,700 --> 00:24:50,600
and its pinnacle is a vulture

282
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,840
whose wings touch the sky.

283
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,200
Night increases my power,

284
00:24:56,500 --> 00:24:59,100
elephants piss with fear.

285
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,376
And Karna? Where is Karna?

286
00:25:05,700 --> 00:25:07,800
He prepares to fight.

287
00:25:18,900 --> 00:25:22,450
You won't escape from my hands alive!

288
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,100
Ghatotkatcha heaps,

289
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,158
he howls into the clouds...

290
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,719
He calls down a rain of trees,

291
00:25:46,919 --> 00:25:48,676
a hail of rocks!

292
00:25:51,900 --> 00:25:54,900
He has a hundred
bellies, a hundred heads

293
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,733
then he shrinks into a finger.

294
00:25:57,900 --> 00:25:59,316
And Karna?

295
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,497
He shoots blade arrows,

296
00:26:03,300 --> 00:26:05,104
reptile arrows.

297
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,121
Ghatotkatcha becomes
ferocious animals...

298
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,923
Karna exterminates them all!

299
00:27:26,300 --> 00:27:31,808
Our armies are crushed! Swift,
kill him! Kill him with your launch!

300
00:27:32,546 --> 00:27:34,465
No, he must save this launch for Arjuna!

301
00:27:34,631 --> 00:27:36,097
He can only use it once!

302
00:27:36,297 --> 00:27:37,567
Only once!

303
00:27:37,568 --> 00:27:39,003
Swift!

304
00:27:39,203 --> 00:27:40,311
Kill him!

305
00:27:40,511 --> 00:27:42,100
Nothing can resist this vicious demon!

306
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,284
Men are dying by millions!

307
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,300
If you hesitate for one more
moment, we're lost! Quick! Hurry!

308
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,504
No! He must keep his launch!

309
00:28:56,334 --> 00:28:58,930
Why? Why? Why?

310
00:29:03,100 --> 00:29:06,923
Ghatotkatcha! My son!

311
00:29:07,123 --> 00:29:11,084
My son! Why?

312
00:29:11,494 --> 00:29:13,250
Why?

313
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,395
Why are you rejoicing?

314
00:29:38,900 --> 00:29:41,134
Ghatotkatcha is dead.

315
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,960
Tonight we grieve and you,
you dance and laugh. Why?

316
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,065
Ghatotkatcha has just killed Karna.

317
00:29:48,265 --> 00:29:49,582
What are you saying?

318
00:29:49,782 --> 00:29:54,425
No one could resist Karna as long
as this launch was in his hands.

319
00:29:54,625 --> 00:29:56,610
Now Arjuna, you can kill him.

320
00:29:56,810 --> 00:30:01,294
Did you throw Ghatotkatcha into the
fight knowing he was going to die?

321
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,432
Karna is like the sun.

322
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,332
You can't fix your eyes on him.

323
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,382
His arrows are his rays.

324
00:30:14,900 --> 00:30:19,754
Now he's reduced to the
simple condition of a man.

325
00:30:21,205 --> 00:30:25,300
Yes, Ghatotkatcha has saved you.

326
00:30:25,900 --> 00:30:30,129
To preserve your life
I've sent him to his death.

327
00:30:30,646 --> 00:30:33,800
Tonight I'm breathing in joy.

328
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,600
I was born to destroy the destroyers,

329
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,213
and I became your friend
out of love for the world.

330
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,843
Father, you really know
how to destroy the Pandavas?

331
00:30:57,259 --> 00:30:58,427
Yes.

332
00:30:59,195 --> 00:31:00,763
I know it.

333
00:31:01,151 --> 00:31:02,962
I don't believe you.

334
00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:10,400
If we can draw Arjuna
away from the battle,

335
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,649
I grant the victory.

336
00:31:12,849 --> 00:31:14,986
How can you draw him away?

337
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,240
Why, a trick!

338
00:31:18,100 --> 00:31:22,248
Father, these men whom you formed,

339
00:31:22,519 --> 00:31:25,109
whom you trained and
brought up, whom you said

340
00:31:25,309 --> 00:31:29,215
were amongst the most beautiful
flowers on the earth...

341
00:31:29,700 --> 00:31:33,128
...are you ready to
trick and slaughter them?

342
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,546
Your son has asked you a question.

343
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,008
You don't answer...

344
00:31:46,970 --> 00:31:49,400
You said you loved the Pandavas,

345
00:31:49,700 --> 00:31:51,958
that you wished for their victory.

346
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,532
Now you must organize their death.

347
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:02,909
Is your loyalty and your commanders'
pride strong enough for this?

348
00:32:04,900 --> 00:32:07,345
What's your decision?

349
00:32:09,700 --> 00:32:12,018
I know the way.

350
00:32:46,100 --> 00:32:47,900
An attack from the north?

351
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,500
Yes, a savage attack.

352
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,700
It's a trick of Drona's to draw Arjuna
away from the centre of the battle.

353
00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:57,900
But no one can imagine the consequences.

354
00:32:58,300 --> 00:33:02,100
You've always told me
Drona cannot be beaten.

355
00:33:02,500 --> 00:33:05,500
Today he will bring victory to my son!

356
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,204
Yes. You will have a glorious day

357
00:33:09,404 --> 00:33:11,932
and your victory will be your defeat.

358
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,337
Someone will die today because of you,

359
00:33:14,537 --> 00:33:16,904
someone whom all the world loved.

360
00:33:18,300 --> 00:33:20,502
Father! Father, where are you going?

361
00:33:20,702 --> 00:33:23,000
They're attacking from the north.
I'm going to throw them back!

362
00:33:23,300 --> 00:33:24,366
Take me with you!

363
00:33:24,566 --> 00:33:26,447
Abhimanyu, you aren't
old enough for war.

364
00:33:26,647 --> 00:33:28,200
We are going to swim in blood.

365
00:33:28,500 --> 00:33:32,284
I'm your son and I'm
strong. As strong as you.

366
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,080
Are you afraid to grow old in my shadow?

367
00:33:36,300 --> 00:33:39,026
Why leave me yawning in a
tent surrounded by women?

368
00:33:39,226 --> 00:33:42,055
I need to fight! Take me with you.

369
00:33:42,255 --> 00:33:45,804
Abhimanyu, your place
is here. Out of the way.

370
00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:49,200
Abhimanyu, Arjuna's favourite son,

371
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,329
conceived with Krishna's own sister,

372
00:33:52,935 --> 00:33:55,409
Abhimanyu will die.

373
00:34:22,300 --> 00:34:24,166
Drona is advancing.

374
00:34:26,700 --> 00:34:29,957
Look! He's in the
centre of his iron disk.

375
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,500
He's crushing everything!

376
00:34:34,988 --> 00:34:36,669
He will grind us to dust!

377
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:41,699
Who can break it open?

378
00:34:41,899 --> 00:34:43,444
- Only Arjuna.
- No.

379
00:34:43,899 --> 00:34:45,606
I can do so too.

380
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,625
Abhimanyu, you know
how to force the disk?

381
00:34:48,825 --> 00:34:50,415
Yes, I know how.

382
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,529
Arjuna gave you the secret?

383
00:34:52,729 --> 00:34:56,687
No. But before my birth, as
I lay in my mother's womb,

384
00:34:56,887 --> 00:34:59,500
I heard my father speak of this secret.

385
00:34:59,900 --> 00:35:03,000
And you remember what he said?

386
00:35:03,300 --> 00:35:04,677
Word for word.

387
00:35:04,877 --> 00:35:06,677
Abhimanyu, we are lost.

388
00:35:06,877 --> 00:35:09,900
The disk will destroy us.
Your father is far away.

389
00:35:10,300 --> 00:35:12,558
- I plead to you...
- He' s almost a child!

390
00:35:12,758 --> 00:35:14,600
A child I may be...

391
00:35:14,900 --> 00:35:17,500
...but I'll attack Drona's iron wall.

392
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,873
I'll crack it apart!

393
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,500
My family needs me.

394
00:35:23,700 --> 00:35:27,100
The entire earth today needs me!

395
00:35:28,011 --> 00:35:28,999
Fetch me my arms.

396
00:35:29,199 --> 00:35:31,972
Abhimanyu, these words
are not your own...

397
00:35:32,479 --> 00:35:36,109
The glory makes you blind. Go back to
your mother. This could be your death!

398
00:35:36,309 --> 00:35:39,042
Without me it's death for everyone!

399
00:35:39,100 --> 00:35:44,058
I know the special secret
and I have miraculous powers!

400
00:35:49,100 --> 00:35:53,597
Only, in my mother's womb I
didn't hear all the secret.

401
00:35:53,797 --> 00:35:55,559
What exactly did you hear?

402
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,579
I heard how to force
a way into the disk,

403
00:35:59,700 --> 00:36:02,900
but if the disk should close...

404
00:36:03,300 --> 00:36:04,783
...I don't know how to come out.

405
00:36:04,983 --> 00:36:08,561
Open up a breech. That's
all we need, a breech...

406
00:36:08,761 --> 00:36:10,100
...and we'll follow you.

407
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,878
Open a breech. I'll be at your heels.

408
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,341
Quick! The disk is approaching!

409
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,800
I'll lead the troops like a flame.

410
00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:26,900
All the armies will follow me.

411
00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:30,100
Arjuna is my father,

412
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,518
and the thought of him comes to my aid.

413
00:36:45,300 --> 00:36:47,576
Drona will kill him.

414
00:36:48,100 --> 00:36:51,355
Vyasa, prevent him from fighting!

415
00:36:51,555 --> 00:36:53,109
I can't.

416
00:37:13,300 --> 00:37:15,997
I'm going to break open your disk!

417
00:37:16,197 --> 00:37:19,191
Your slaughter ends here!

418
00:37:20,287 --> 00:37:22,293
Bhima! Watch where he goes!

419
00:37:50,900 --> 00:37:53,955
Abhimanyu, do you want to die?

420
00:37:54,300 --> 00:37:56,700
Yudhishthira! The breech is open!

421
00:37:56,900 --> 00:37:58,235
Follow me!

422
00:38:00,900 --> 00:38:02,600
Bhima! Here!

423
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,279
Bhima! Help us!

424
00:38:09,036 --> 00:38:13,990
Bhima! Yudhishthira!
Where are you? Follow me!

425
00:38:20,500 --> 00:38:23,936
Bhima! The disk is open! Come to me!

426
00:38:24,136 --> 00:38:26,000
- Come!
- I can't!

427
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:42,400
The air's hard!

428
00:38:42,500 --> 00:38:44,600
There's an invisible wall!

429
00:39:41,900 --> 00:39:45,526
Drona, you seem fascinated by
your extraordinary strength!

430
00:39:45,726 --> 00:39:48,000
The iron disk shattered by a child!

431
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,693
Drona, where is your promise? Are
you in love with our enemies too?

432
00:39:52,893 --> 00:39:54,295
Kill him!

433
00:40:04,700 --> 00:40:08,399
I'm alone in the middle of the disk,

434
00:40:08,599 --> 00:40:09,900
and the disk is closing.

435
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:15,254
They're all around me:
Karna, Drona, Ashwattaman.

436
00:40:15,454 --> 00:40:16,456
Come closer!

437
00:40:16,656 --> 00:40:17,979
Break his bow!

438
00:40:18,700 --> 00:40:20,500
The bow's broken.

439
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,256
Break his sword!

440
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:27,897
The sword is broken!

441
00:40:43,300 --> 00:40:45,000
Father!

442
00:41:03,300 --> 00:41:05,000
Is Abhimanyu dead?

443
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,800
He's lying on the ground...

444
00:41:09,500 --> 00:41:11,462
He doesn't move.

445
00:41:14,300 --> 00:41:18,000
He's like the wind when it dies down.

446
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,800
Those who killed him
weep in silence and say:

447
00:41:22,100 --> 00:41:25,453
it's just a child lying on the ground.

448
00:41:25,653 --> 00:41:28,394
Was this our duty?

449
00:41:28,500 --> 00:41:31,500
Why am I greeted in silence?

450
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,323
Normally my son Abhimanyu
runs eagerly to meet me.

451
00:41:58,500 --> 00:41:59,986
Who killed him?

452
00:42:00,186 --> 00:42:02,532
Who sent him to his death?

453
00:42:02,732 --> 00:42:04,022
I did.

454
00:42:08,300 --> 00:42:12,579
Only he knew how to force the iron disk.

455
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,800
You didn't defend my son.

456
00:42:20,300 --> 00:42:24,300
We were all behind him, he
was leading us to victory,

457
00:42:25,900 --> 00:42:29,313
but the disk closed behind him.

458
00:42:29,513 --> 00:42:31,646
Impossible to break through.

459
00:42:34,300 --> 00:42:37,475
You sent my son to his death.

460
00:42:41,448 --> 00:42:45,737
Arjuna, they're telling you the truth.

461
00:43:19,691 --> 00:43:20,943
Krishna...

462
00:43:23,900 --> 00:43:26,900
...did you let my son die

463
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:31,465
so as to push me deeper into the fight?

464
00:43:36,175 --> 00:43:40,639
I'm crossing the great
era of darkness with you.

465
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,403
This struggle is absolute.

466
00:43:44,900 --> 00:43:48,750
You and your brothers are
the world's only light.

467
00:43:49,144 --> 00:43:53,327
Every moment, remember what I told you:

468
00:43:54,500 --> 00:43:58,710
If your heart breaks, closes up...

469
00:43:58,910 --> 00:44:02,700
...if it becomes bitter, dark or dry...

470
00:44:03,100 --> 00:44:05,997
...the light will be lost.

471
00:44:51,406 --> 00:44:52,890
Bhishma...

472
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,615
I've killed a child.

473
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,300
I'm responsible for his death.

474
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,400
What can I do?

475
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:18,690
How can I go on with the war?

476
00:45:21,500 --> 00:45:24,500
A deathless boy,

477
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:29,307
very old and very young,

478
00:45:29,507 --> 00:45:31,500
once said to me:

479
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,625
"Death doesn't exist".

480
00:45:36,700 --> 00:45:38,879
What did he mean?

481
00:45:42,100 --> 00:45:46,865
Ask him. He's here.

482
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,253
Are you the deathless boy?

483
00:45:56,112 --> 00:45:57,228
Yes.

484
00:45:57,404 --> 00:45:58,752
You said:

485
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,556
"Death doesn't exist"?

486
00:46:03,100 --> 00:46:04,821
I did.

487
00:46:06,100 --> 00:46:10,031
If even gods make sacrifices
so as not to die...

488
00:46:10,231 --> 00:46:12,077
Both things are true.

489
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:16,000
Poets pay homage to death,

490
00:46:16,300 --> 00:46:19,846
they glorify it in song,

491
00:46:20,100 --> 00:46:25,300
but I tell you, death is negligence.

492
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:31,100
It is ignorance, and
vigilance is immortality.

493
00:46:32,700 --> 00:46:37,429
Death is a tiger crouching in the brush.

494
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,900
We create children for death,

495
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:47,162
but death cannot devour a man
who has shaken off his dust.

496
00:46:47,362 --> 00:46:51,200
It is powerless against eternity.

497
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:56,400
The wind, life...

498
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:00,000
...flow from the infinite.

499
00:47:00,900 --> 00:47:04,600
The moon drinks the breath of life.

500
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,600
The sun drinks the moon,

501
00:47:08,900 --> 00:47:12,300
and the infinite drinks the sun.

502
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:19,143
The wise man soars between the worlds.

503
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,221
When his body is destroyed,

504
00:47:23,421 --> 00:47:26,400
when no trace of it remains,

505
00:47:26,700 --> 00:47:31,441
then death itself is destroyed,

506
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:37,706
and he contemplates infinity.

507
00:47:54,500 --> 00:47:59,058
All my life I've heard wise people say:

508
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,600
When Dharma is protected, it protects.

509
00:48:05,900 --> 00:48:10,227
When it is destroyed, it destroys.

510
00:48:13,300 --> 00:48:16,321
Are we protecting Dharma?

511
00:48:17,700 --> 00:48:22,000
Sometimes, the only
way to protect Dharma

512
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,954
is to forget it.

513
00:48:32,900 --> 00:48:38,455
I watch the fall of kings and I
see contempt rise in their place.

514
00:48:38,900 --> 00:48:41,105
Drona, I thought you were my pillar,

515
00:48:41,305 --> 00:48:44,223
but you smiled when
Abhimanyu slaughtered my men.

516
00:48:44,873 --> 00:48:46,404
You love Arjuna.

517
00:48:47,100 --> 00:48:51,471
Now will you have pity for his grief,
or will you press on for victory?

518
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,995
How can you still hope for victory?

519
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:01,666
We are dying, we are
dying because of you!

520
00:49:02,300 --> 00:49:06,475
I know it. My end is near.

521
00:49:06,675 --> 00:49:11,100
Drona, you're old and feeble.

522
00:49:11,500 --> 00:49:14,200
All that you love is over
there, on the other side,

523
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,789
and in the depths of your
heart you hope for defeat!

524
00:49:17,989 --> 00:49:20,800
You insult my father!
I'll tear off your head!

525
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,260
Stop, Ashwattaman!
Throw down that weapon!

526
00:49:23,460 --> 00:49:25,800
Karna! Ashwattaman!

527
00:49:26,100 --> 00:49:28,697
What madness is possessing you?

528
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,251
Without your promises of victory, I
would never have launched this war!

529
00:49:34,451 --> 00:49:37,000
You suspect us of
being other than we are,

530
00:49:37,100 --> 00:49:39,355
and we accept to die for you.

531
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,100
Halt! Don't go near my father.

532
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,500
I am Vyasa.

533
00:49:54,100 --> 00:49:56,000
What are you looking for?

534
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:58,700
I'm not looking for anything.

535
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:03,400
I'm watching over your
father in his last sleep.

536
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,255
Who will kill him? Tell me!

537
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,713
Do you see that shadow?

538
00:50:14,700 --> 00:50:17,838
It's Drishtadyumna, Draupadi's brother.

539
00:50:21,900 --> 00:50:25,000
Each time your father sleeps,

540
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:30,899
Drishtadyumna enters his
dream and says to him:

541
00:50:31,099 --> 00:50:35,364
It is for this that I
am born, and you know it,

542
00:50:35,564 --> 00:50:38,000
because you are afraid.

543
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,500
My father has no fear.

544
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,100
He never committed the slightest error.

545
00:50:45,100 --> 00:50:48,300
He's destroyed his life.

546
00:50:48,700 --> 00:50:50,988
Your father was a Brahmin,

547
00:50:51,188 --> 00:50:55,663
a holy man, so poor he
couldn't even buy you milk,

548
00:50:55,863 --> 00:50:57,300
but he was ashamed

549
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:02,257
and he used all his power
to become a terrible warrior,

550
00:51:02,457 --> 00:51:04,687
the hardest of men.

551
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,100
He was born for a life of peace,

552
00:51:08,500 --> 00:51:10,800
but he chose war.

553
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,442
That was his error.

554
00:51:56,100 --> 00:51:58,400
Why don't you sleep?

555
00:52:02,700 --> 00:52:03,900
Father,

556
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:10,000
why did you tell the chiefs
you were going to die?

557
00:52:10,500 --> 00:52:12,800
No one can defeat you.

558
00:52:17,826 --> 00:52:18,723
Drona!

559
00:52:20,900 --> 00:52:22,892
Why did you agree to rest?

560
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,200
Why not follow your advantage?

561
00:52:26,700 --> 00:52:30,888
Because I'm tired, I'm old...

562
00:52:31,088 --> 00:52:33,629
You've often told me so.

563
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,100
Ashwattaman...

564
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:42,181
I'm giving you the northern
army. Your men are waiting.

565
00:52:49,742 --> 00:52:51,726
Drona, the day breaks.

566
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,441
Take up your arms.

567
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:22,797
Arjuna!

568
00:54:09,500 --> 00:54:11,679
I'm losing all hope of beating Drona.

569
00:54:15,500 --> 00:54:20,458
He will massacre everyone.
He's become war itself.

570
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,470
How can we make him lay down his arms?

571
00:54:24,100 --> 00:54:25,993
There's just one way.

572
00:54:26,247 --> 00:54:30,574
Drona's only son is his own life. He
must be told that Ashwattaman is dead.

573
00:54:30,774 --> 00:54:33,447
He'll be so discourage, so
desperate that he'll drop his weapon.

574
00:54:33,647 --> 00:54:36,801
But Ashwattaman isn't
dead. It would be a lie!

575
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:38,743
I know.

576
00:54:40,836 --> 00:54:43,652
I don't agree. Find anther way.

577
00:54:43,852 --> 00:54:45,127
Wait.

578
00:55:03,184 --> 00:55:05,684
There. It's done.

579
00:55:05,984 --> 00:55:07,854
I've killed Ashwattaman.

580
00:55:08,054 --> 00:55:09,184
Who?

581
00:55:09,484 --> 00:55:13,845
An elephant called
Ashwattaman. I've killed him.

1
00:00:07,039 --> 00:00:09,314
Can you hear me?

2
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,039
What do you want?

3
00:00:19,139 --> 00:00:21,309
I've killed Ashwattaman!

4
00:00:21,509 --> 00:00:24,024
Ashwattaman is dead.

5
00:00:29,948 --> 00:00:33,866
I can't believe my son is dead.

6
00:00:36,539 --> 00:00:39,235
I suspect a lie.

7
00:00:39,435 --> 00:00:41,063
Yudhishthira!

8
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:50,923
You...

9
00:00:52,007 --> 00:00:55,491
...who can only tell the truth,

10
00:00:56,539 --> 00:00:58,514
I ask you:

11
00:01:02,506 --> 00:01:06,860
Has Ashwattaman been killed?

12
00:01:08,541 --> 00:01:11,378
Yes or no?

13
00:01:13,456 --> 00:01:15,305
Ashwattaman...

14
00:01:25,926 --> 00:01:28,312
...has been killed.

15
00:01:34,793 --> 00:01:36,579
Drishtadyumna...

16
00:01:37,517 --> 00:01:40,547
Why are you advancing on me?

17
00:01:40,747 --> 00:01:43,324
Has day-break brought my by death?

18
00:01:46,339 --> 00:01:49,369
Your greed for victory
has corrupted you.

19
00:01:50,239 --> 00:01:53,139
You slipped into a lie
like the rest of mankind.

20
00:01:53,339 --> 00:01:55,830
From now on, he's part of the earth.

21
00:01:57,139 --> 00:02:00,152
Perhaps this weakness
will bring him victory.

22
00:02:01,281 --> 00:02:02,884
Look at Drona...

23
00:02:04,839 --> 00:02:07,163
He's like to fight still,

24
00:02:07,739 --> 00:02:09,632
but he can't.

25
00:03:34,939 --> 00:03:37,502
His death is inconceivable.

26
00:03:39,139 --> 00:03:42,971
His death is natural. Look.

27
00:03:43,939 --> 00:03:46,689
His eyes are already closed,

28
00:03:47,239 --> 00:03:49,629
his breath quietens,

29
00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:53,661
he's reached the
furthest fringe of life.

30
00:03:55,039 --> 00:03:57,508
His breath leaves him,

31
00:03:57,839 --> 00:04:00,033
rises into the air...

32
00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:03,839
Only his body stays.

33
00:04:04,139 --> 00:04:07,761
Drishtadyumna will cut
off a dead man’s head.

34
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:16,045
Rise up! Rejoice!

35
00:04:16,245 --> 00:04:20,274
We've committed a crime.
Victory is meaningless now.

36
00:04:20,474 --> 00:04:24,239
I hear you calling our enemies'
death a crime... I don't understand.

37
00:04:24,539 --> 00:04:27,739
Did Drona leap up to
forbid Shakuni to cheat

38
00:04:28,139 --> 00:04:31,439
and Dushassana dragged me by the hair?

39
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:35,639
Yudhishthira, I've endured
shame and exile with you...

40
00:04:35,939 --> 00:04:39,746
...and you went on repeating: I'll
destroy them! I will destroy them!

41
00:04:39,946 --> 00:04:43,039
And now you despise us...

42
00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:47,648
Yudhishthira, you shove
glass in our wounds.

43
00:04:48,739 --> 00:04:50,739
Karna, your day has come.

44
00:04:51,039 --> 00:04:54,539
You hate is pure, your strength intact.

45
00:04:54,939 --> 00:04:56,639
Drive away our darkness.

46
00:04:56,939 --> 00:05:00,959
I will only return in victory.

47
00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:06,139
Arjuna has Krishna as his driver.

48
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,560
Where could I find someone of his power?

49
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,311
You are looking for a driver, Karna?

50
00:05:14,511 --> 00:05:15,905
Who are you?

51
00:05:16,105 --> 00:05:18,537
I'm king Salya.

52
00:05:18,737 --> 00:05:21,151
I'm looking for a driver,
I don't need a king.

53
00:05:21,351 --> 00:05:23,945
All the horses in the world obey me.

54
00:05:24,145 --> 00:05:27,139
You won't find a better driver anywhere.

55
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:30,939
I heard you say: "I'm
superior to Arjuna".

56
00:05:31,139 --> 00:05:34,600
Well, I'm superior to Krishna.

57
00:06:13,139 --> 00:06:14,652
Don't be afraid.

58
00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:22,381
I promised your mother not to kill you.

59
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:33,423
Bhima...

60
00:06:34,739 --> 00:06:36,619
Who's coming towards me?

61
00:06:38,139 --> 00:06:40,811
My eyes are full of blood.

62
00:06:41,939 --> 00:06:43,145
It's me!

63
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:44,951
Who you?

64
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:47,739
Bring your body over here.

65
00:06:51,039 --> 00:06:55,852
Try to see who I am. It's Dushassana!

66
00:06:57,139 --> 00:06:59,139
They've told you I've been wounded,

67
00:06:59,439 --> 00:07:01,953
and you're coming on tiptoe to kill me!

68
00:07:04,339 --> 00:07:07,758
You are slow and heavy!
I'm not afraid of you!

69
00:07:07,958 --> 00:07:10,688
I am heave with the dead men’s blood!

70
00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:17,966
You touched me!

71
00:07:18,166 --> 00:07:19,639
Your friends will be happy,

72
00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:21,401
You sweat like an old elephant!

73
00:07:21,601 --> 00:07:23,890
You can't move anymore!

74
00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:28,141
Think of your life,

75
00:07:28,341 --> 00:07:32,523
- which ends here!
- Dushassana! Dushassana!

76
00:07:36,839 --> 00:07:39,124
Miserable abortion!

77
00:07:39,324 --> 00:07:42,103
- Who do you want to kill!
- Help!

78
00:07:42,303 --> 00:07:45,329
Stop crying! Your black
hour has come Dushassana.

79
00:07:45,529 --> 00:07:49,357
Here is where it all end! Now!

80
00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:50,739
Draupadi!

81
00:07:51,039 --> 00:07:53,539
Draupadi! Can you hear me?

82
00:07:54,439 --> 00:07:58,339
Look! I will drink his
blood because I promised.

83
00:07:58,739 --> 00:08:01,035
It's your turn Dushassana.

84
00:08:01,039 --> 00:08:05,639
Do you remember? Draupadi
drown by the hair!

85
00:08:06,039 --> 00:08:08,439
Let her be the last thing you see!

86
00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:11,434
Karna!

87
00:08:12,239 --> 00:08:15,440
Help, my brother!

88
00:08:15,639 --> 00:08:19,779
They can't hear you!
There's no one to help you!

89
00:08:19,979 --> 00:08:22,214
And I rip out your life!

90
00:08:46,139 --> 00:08:51,190
My enemy's blood is more
delicious than my mother's milk!

91
00:08:51,439 --> 00:08:56,923
Better than honey, sweeter than
the sweetest drink on earth.

92
00:08:57,439 --> 00:09:01,341
Draupadi, don't go away...

93
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:04,063
Watch what I'm doing for you.

94
00:09:04,439 --> 00:09:05,781
Come!

95
00:09:06,039 --> 00:09:08,566
You can wash your hair now.

96
00:10:23,739 --> 00:10:26,903
We weren't born to be happy.

97
00:10:28,373 --> 00:10:29,998
Farewell.

98
00:10:58,139 --> 00:11:00,639
What are you thinking about?

99
00:11:02,239 --> 00:11:03,739
A curse.

100
00:11:04,267 --> 00:11:08,699
The one that Parashurama
made, the man with the axe?

101
00:11:08,899 --> 00:11:10,454
How do you know?

102
00:11:10,654 --> 00:11:14,679
I heard the story of the
worm that pierced your thigh,

103
00:11:14,879 --> 00:11:19,396
how you resisted the pain so as not
to wake Parashurama who was sleeping...

104
00:11:19,596 --> 00:11:24,067
And he awoke, he burst
with anger and cried:

105
00:11:24,267 --> 00:11:26,439
You cheated me about who you are!

106
00:11:26,739 --> 00:11:29,866
At the moment of your death
you will lose your memory,

107
00:11:30,067 --> 00:11:33,461
and suddenly you will forget the
secret of the weapon I taught you.

108
00:11:33,661 --> 00:11:35,302
Have you forgotten it?

109
00:11:37,434 --> 00:11:38,812
No.

110
00:11:41,139 --> 00:11:43,039
The worm in your thigh

111
00:11:43,339 --> 00:11:48,321
was probably some god
trying to protect Arjuna.

112
00:11:48,539 --> 00:11:52,539
Irresistible, incomparable Arjuna!

113
00:11:53,539 --> 00:11:57,311
You are coming towards me with
your extraordinary weapons,

114
00:11:57,511 --> 00:12:00,020
with your god-like hands

115
00:12:00,220 --> 00:12:02,139
but I will kill you.

116
00:12:02,639 --> 00:12:06,139
I will lift your head from your body!

117
00:12:06,839 --> 00:12:08,516
I will kill you!

118
00:12:08,716 --> 00:12:11,539
If you are so sure of killing him,

119
00:12:11,839 --> 00:12:14,039
why are you afraid?

120
00:12:14,739 --> 00:12:16,010
Salya,

121
00:12:17,439 --> 00:12:20,281
or whoever you are...

122
00:12:22,539 --> 00:12:25,097
I'm surrounded in omens,

123
00:12:26,939 --> 00:12:29,373
menaced by darkness.

124
00:12:30,839 --> 00:12:34,839
Another time, a Brahmin cursed me.

125
00:12:35,539 --> 00:12:37,439
He shouted:

126
00:12:37,739 --> 00:12:40,939
The moment fear enters your flesh,

127
00:12:41,339 --> 00:12:45,713
your chariot wheel will
plunge into the earth.

128
00:12:48,339 --> 00:12:52,878
Yes, I think I'm afraid.

129
00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:07,750
Here I am, Arjuna!

130
00:13:07,751 --> 00:13:11,102
I, the bastard!

131
00:13:11,302 --> 00:13:12,627
The obscure!

132
00:13:12,827 --> 00:13:17,036
You, the prince, the conqueror!

133
00:13:17,236 --> 00:13:19,639
But the sky has opened up for me,

134
00:13:19,939 --> 00:13:23,839
and the sun fills me with strength!

135
00:13:24,239 --> 00:13:28,351
You won't end this day alive!

136
00:13:40,739 --> 00:13:43,160
Where are you Arjuna?

137
00:15:05,139 --> 00:15:07,939
Wait! Wait until I free my wheel!

138
00:15:08,339 --> 00:15:10,139
You have no right to
strike, you know it!

139
00:15:10,339 --> 00:15:14,201
Strike! This is the
moment, don't listen to him.

140
00:15:14,401 --> 00:15:15,582
Don't wait.

141
00:15:15,782 --> 00:15:18,609
I stand before you
unarmed, threatened, weak!

142
00:15:18,809 --> 00:15:22,066
Law and honour protect
me! Let me free my wheel!

143
00:15:22,266 --> 00:15:25,567
You speak of honour now, but when Shakuni
threw the dice, where was your honour?

144
00:15:25,767 --> 00:15:29,066
What hole did you hide it in? Don't
scorch your mouth with that word.

145
00:15:29,266 --> 00:15:30,970
You won't escape alive.

146
00:15:31,539 --> 00:15:32,933
He's crying with anger.

147
00:15:33,611 --> 00:15:34,895
He's yours.

148
00:15:35,095 --> 00:15:37,239
A chariot wheel doesn't
stick without reason.

149
00:15:37,539 --> 00:15:39,239
Who has got hold of this wheel?

150
00:15:39,439 --> 00:15:41,635
Who is playing this final trick?

151
00:15:41,835 --> 00:15:43,739
I'll tell you who's
got hold of this wheel.

152
00:15:44,039 --> 00:15:47,633
It's the earth herself
with her muddy hands,

153
00:15:47,833 --> 00:15:51,108
it's she who's grasping this
wheel, and she won't let go.

154
00:15:51,439 --> 00:15:55,939
Yes, strike. Finish the war.

155
00:15:57,339 --> 00:16:01,576
Don't let yourself be killed
like a driver! Rise up!

156
00:16:01,776 --> 00:16:05,248
Call your irresistible
weapon and release it!

157
00:16:05,448 --> 00:16:07,207
This is the moment! Quick!

158
00:16:07,407 --> 00:16:10,039
Yes Karna! Refuse to die!

159
00:16:11,239 --> 00:16:13,764
Launch the final weapon!

160
00:16:13,964 --> 00:16:16,139
I know the secret formula.

161
00:16:16,939 --> 00:16:19,439
If I pronounce it,

162
00:16:19,839 --> 00:16:23,479
a heavenly creature will come
and place that weapon in my hand.

163
00:16:23,679 --> 00:16:26,483
Strike! What's paralysing you?

164
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:36,784
Yes, I call...

165
00:16:38,039 --> 00:16:43,153
...I call this distant creature...

166
00:16:45,467 --> 00:16:47,360
...and I say to her...

167
00:16:51,319 --> 00:16:53,585
What's happening? Speak!

168
00:16:54,539 --> 00:16:56,760
What do I have to say?

169
00:17:03,872 --> 00:17:06,039
It was a simple phrase...

170
00:17:06,339 --> 00:17:10,117
Suddenly, I can't remember it anymore.

171
00:17:13,039 --> 00:17:15,539
Why has the sun fled?

172
00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:20,639
What's this...

173
00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:25,539
...shadow?

174
00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:28,939
My wheel is buried in the mud...

175
00:17:29,239 --> 00:17:31,961
My head is dark...

176
00:17:33,139 --> 00:17:38,690
and an ancient mystery kills me.

177
00:17:43,639 --> 00:17:46,480
What do I have to say?

178
00:18:27,639 --> 00:18:29,639
All signs are against him.

179
00:18:31,639 --> 00:18:33,339
Take his life.

180
00:19:17,939 --> 00:19:21,039
When you asked him for anything,

181
00:19:21,339 --> 00:19:23,339
he always answered:

182
00:19:24,332 --> 00:19:26,239
"Yes. Here it is."

183
00:19:26,439 --> 00:19:30,146
He didn't know how not to give.

184
00:19:30,346 --> 00:19:33,639
Lifeless, glorious man.

185
00:19:35,117 --> 00:19:37,793
Everything bleeds.

186
00:19:38,121 --> 00:19:41,228
- Everything weeps.
- Vyasa...

187
00:19:43,739 --> 00:19:45,364
I'm here.

188
00:19:46,039 --> 00:19:49,466
My heart must be made of stone...

189
00:19:50,639 --> 00:19:53,519
...not to have broken by now.

190
00:20:22,939 --> 00:20:24,914
Duryodhana, are you here?

191
00:20:26,087 --> 00:20:27,529
Yes, I see him.

192
00:20:28,039 --> 00:20:30,419
He's there with his club.

193
00:20:36,639 --> 00:20:38,739
The waters opened to let him in,

194
00:20:39,039 --> 00:20:41,339
and he made them hard.

195
00:20:41,639 --> 00:20:43,942
No one can break them now.

196
00:20:48,639 --> 00:20:51,139
Duryodhana, do you hear me?

197
00:20:51,939 --> 00:20:53,039
Can you hear me?

198
00:20:53,539 --> 00:20:57,511
Don't disturb my peace. I am resting.

199
00:20:57,711 --> 00:21:01,239
What are you doing in these icy waters?

200
00:21:02,139 --> 00:21:03,528
Get up!

201
00:21:04,439 --> 00:21:08,528
Leave your conjuring.
Come out and fight!

202
00:21:08,728 --> 00:21:12,892
Tomorrow. I'll fight tomorrow.

203
00:21:13,439 --> 00:21:17,000
I want to stay here all night and sing.

204
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,039
You are afraid?

205
00:21:18,339 --> 00:21:23,510
It's not fear that's drawn me
into this lake. It's fatigue.

206
00:21:23,739 --> 00:21:25,523
It's good down here,

207
00:21:26,130 --> 00:21:29,423
in the clear, clean water.

208
00:21:29,839 --> 00:21:33,439
I give you this earth, ruined,

209
00:21:33,739 --> 00:21:35,739
clothed in corpses.

210
00:21:36,039 --> 00:21:38,510
The earth you give me isn't yours.

211
00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:41,139
Now it's your life I want!

212
00:21:41,439 --> 00:21:43,652
Come out of the lake and fight!

213
00:21:43,852 --> 00:21:47,739
If you win the kingdom is yours!

214
00:21:50,539 --> 00:21:51,839
Can I choose my weapon?

215
00:21:52,139 --> 00:21:54,989
Yes, choose your weapon.

216
00:21:55,189 --> 00:21:56,564
I choose clubs!

217
00:22:01,839 --> 00:22:04,630
I will put an end to your life!

218
00:22:36,939 --> 00:22:39,461
Come closer! Come, come!

219
00:22:52,589 --> 00:22:56,765
You're heavy! You can't
keep up any longer!

220
00:22:57,989 --> 00:23:01,389
I could smash your skull,

221
00:23:01,689 --> 00:23:04,889
but one does not strike
a fallen adversary!

222
00:23:05,289 --> 00:23:06,755
Get to your feet!

223
00:23:09,054 --> 00:23:10,608
- You're wounded?
- Yes.

224
00:23:10,808 --> 00:23:12,648
Badly? Don't show it!

225
00:23:15,789 --> 00:23:18,889
You must convince him you're
strong. Stay on your feet,

226
00:23:19,089 --> 00:23:22,389
attack, aim low. Hit his legs.

227
00:23:22,589 --> 00:23:25,589
His legs? I can't! It is not allowed!

228
00:23:25,889 --> 00:23:31,294
I said, hit his legs! Strike his thigh.

229
00:24:07,789 --> 00:24:10,889
Bhima, take away your
foot! Don't insult him!

230
00:24:11,289 --> 00:24:14,266
He has the same blood
as you and he was a king.

231
00:24:16,589 --> 00:24:18,304
The war is over.

232
00:24:19,689 --> 00:24:20,851
Yudhishthira...

233
00:24:21,051 --> 00:24:24,589
I was hit shamefully on the
legs, against all the rules.

234
00:24:24,889 --> 00:24:28,632
Come. He's neither a
friend nor an enemy.

235
00:24:28,832 --> 00:24:32,548
You don't waste words on
a block of wood. Let's go.

236
00:24:39,004 --> 00:24:40,418
Krishna!

237
00:24:41,489 --> 00:24:45,189
You are the origin of evil!

238
00:24:45,589 --> 00:24:47,889
Sikhandin, it was your idea!

239
00:24:48,189 --> 00:24:52,489
And who threw Ghatotkatcha against us
to force Karna to give up his launch?

240
00:24:53,489 --> 00:24:57,389
And the lie: "Ashwattaman is dead"?

241
00:24:57,789 --> 00:25:00,389
And when Karna's wheel stuck in the mud,

242
00:25:00,689 --> 00:25:05,187
you said to Arjuna:
"Take his life!". You!

243
00:25:05,689 --> 00:25:07,189
Always you!

244
00:25:07,489 --> 00:25:10,102
All that you say is false,

245
00:25:10,589 --> 00:25:14,839
and your only assassin is yourself.

246
00:25:14,939 --> 00:25:17,766
Yes... Go your way,

247
00:25:17,966 --> 00:25:21,269
stay in this unhappy world.

248
00:25:21,469 --> 00:25:24,389
I am going to another world.

249
00:25:24,789 --> 00:25:28,979
Who is happier than I?
I reigned on earth,

250
00:25:29,399 --> 00:25:33,689
I was just. I laughed, I sang,

251
00:25:34,089 --> 00:25:36,389
I loved my friends and my wives.

252
00:25:36,789 --> 00:25:41,618
I protected my servants, I held
out my hand to the afflicted.

253
00:25:41,818 --> 00:25:45,856
I knew all human joys.

254
00:25:46,056 --> 00:25:51,489
Go and eat, and dance. Go!

255
00:26:02,389 --> 00:26:05,803
No good man is entirely good.

256
00:26:05,989 --> 00:26:09,225
No bad man is entirely bad.

257
00:26:09,989 --> 00:26:12,770
Duryodhana, I salute you.

258
00:26:15,489 --> 00:26:19,025
I do not find any
pleasure in your suffering,

259
00:26:20,089 --> 00:26:24,159
but your defeat is a joy.

260
00:26:27,089 --> 00:26:31,572
Your victory is complete.
Let's go and celebrate.

261
00:27:13,689 --> 00:27:16,689
If you still have breath...

262
00:27:17,089 --> 00:27:18,889
...listen to me.

263
00:27:20,489 --> 00:27:24,189
After the battle, I hid in the forest

264
00:27:24,589 --> 00:27:30,374
and there, in the darkness
of a vast tree I saw an owl

265
00:27:30,889 --> 00:27:36,407
ruthlessly exterminating
baby crows in their sleep.

266
00:27:37,189 --> 00:27:42,710
I said to myself: my hour has come.

267
00:27:43,389 --> 00:27:46,393
That was true. I made a sacrifice.

268
00:27:46,593 --> 00:27:50,457
A God welded this sword to my hand

269
00:27:50,657 --> 00:27:54,290
and infused my body with his power.

270
00:27:54,490 --> 00:27:56,489
I entered into the camp

271
00:27:56,789 --> 00:28:01,615
slipping softly towards
Drishtadyumna's tent

272
00:28:02,289 --> 00:28:08,268
where on rare carpets my
father's killer lay asleep.

273
00:28:08,468 --> 00:28:10,289
I kicked him awake.

274
00:28:10,489 --> 00:28:14,389
He tried to scream. I
threw him into the ground...

275
00:28:14,689 --> 00:28:17,289
...I crushed his throat with my knees.

276
00:28:17,689 --> 00:28:20,392
I've killed him as one kills cattle!

277
00:28:20,592 --> 00:28:21,943
Good.

278
00:28:22,143 --> 00:28:22,889
That's good.

279
00:28:23,189 --> 00:28:25,789
Then I hurled myself about the camp.

280
00:28:25,989 --> 00:28:29,689
My force was superhuman,

281
00:28:31,289 --> 00:28:35,044
I massacred everyone:

282
00:28:36,389 --> 00:28:39,489
I killed Bhima's son, Arjuna's son...

283
00:28:39,889 --> 00:28:42,670
Yudhishthira's son, I
killed the twins' sons...

284
00:28:42,870 --> 00:28:46,801
Draupadi hasn't one son left.

285
00:28:47,621 --> 00:28:48,807
Good.

286
00:28:49,166 --> 00:28:52,090
I stabbed backs, I tore throats,

287
00:28:52,290 --> 00:28:55,413
I amputated head, arms, ears!

288
00:29:00,589 --> 00:29:05,865
Then I withdrew in silence.

289
00:29:07,833 --> 00:29:10,148
I met Abhimanyu's young widow.

290
00:29:11,889 --> 00:29:15,389
I killed the foetus in her womb.

291
00:29:17,689 --> 00:29:21,430
The Pandavas have no more descendents.

292
00:29:23,689 --> 00:29:24,989
There,

293
00:29:26,989 --> 00:29:32,089
I've done what I needed to do.

294
00:29:33,989 --> 00:29:35,956
I'm calm.

295
00:29:37,189 --> 00:29:42,007
Good. That's good.

296
00:29:44,689 --> 00:29:47,228
We'll see one another again.

297
00:29:50,889 --> 00:29:52,828
Now I die.

298
00:32:50,289 --> 00:32:53,176
Why are you kneeling beside Karna?

299
00:32:56,589 --> 00:33:00,689
Karna, who you killed...

300
00:33:01,789 --> 00:33:06,877
Karna was your eldest
brother, my first son.

301
00:33:07,077 --> 00:33:08,989
I was just fifteen.

302
00:33:09,289 --> 00:33:11,489
Karna was our brother?

303
00:33:11,789 --> 00:33:13,589
Yes, Arjuna.

304
00:33:15,189 --> 00:33:16,810
He knew it?

305
00:33:17,989 --> 00:33:21,074
Yes, he knew it.

306
00:33:21,274 --> 00:33:23,491
Why did you hide this from us?

307
00:33:26,389 --> 00:33:28,989
Constantly hated by you,

308
00:33:29,189 --> 00:33:32,089
despised and rejected,

309
00:33:32,389 --> 00:33:34,289
he swore not to kill you,

310
00:33:34,589 --> 00:33:37,643
to spare you all, except you,

311
00:33:37,843 --> 00:33:39,189
Arjuna,

312
00:33:40,089 --> 00:33:45,427
so that after the battle I would
have the same number of sons.

313
00:33:52,589 --> 00:33:54,385
Krishna, you knew it?

314
00:33:57,489 --> 00:34:01,189
Karna forbade me to
reveal Kunti's secret.

315
00:34:01,489 --> 00:34:03,797
His promise was absolute.

316
00:34:05,689 --> 00:34:08,089
He preferred his word to his brothers...

317
00:34:09,989 --> 00:34:13,446
And you must respect his choice.

318
00:34:14,589 --> 00:34:17,489
I led my brother to his death.

319
00:34:19,489 --> 00:34:22,320
Now I'm going off into the woods.

320
00:34:23,389 --> 00:34:27,385
Yudhishthira, don’t go.

321
00:34:34,889 --> 00:34:37,689
Don't despise this earth,

322
00:34:37,989 --> 00:34:40,589
you are the most upright,

323
00:34:40,889 --> 00:34:43,897
you are the truest of men.

324
00:34:44,589 --> 00:34:49,089
And it needed exile, long suffering,

325
00:34:49,489 --> 00:34:52,287
this desperate war,

326
00:34:52,487 --> 00:34:55,875
and this harsh battle in yourself,

327
00:34:56,389 --> 00:35:00,189
and your lie, and you anger,

328
00:35:00,489 --> 00:35:02,889
and your delirium,

329
00:35:03,189 --> 00:35:06,554
for you now to be him whom

330
00:35:07,113 --> 00:35:11,054
the city awaits with all its gallants.

331
00:35:11,330 --> 00:35:12,634
Bhishma,

332
00:35:13,089 --> 00:35:15,751
this world is savage.

333
00:35:16,989 --> 00:35:21,220
How can one understand
the savagery of this world?

334
00:35:27,521 --> 00:35:28,892
A man

335
00:35:29,456 --> 00:35:33,589
is walking in a dark, dangerous forest,

336
00:35:33,989 --> 00:35:36,584
filled with wild beasts.

337
00:35:37,089 --> 00:35:40,622
The forest is surrounded by a vast net.

338
00:35:40,822 --> 00:35:46,363
The man is afraid, he runs
to escape from the beasts.

339
00:35:46,563 --> 00:35:49,589
He falls into a pitch-black hole.

340
00:35:49,989 --> 00:35:54,689
By a miracle, he's caught
in some twisted roots.

341
00:35:55,089 --> 00:35:59,589
He feels the hot breath
of an enormous snake

342
00:35:59,989 --> 00:36:04,311
its throat wide open, lying
at the bottom of the pit.

343
00:36:04,724 --> 00:36:07,757
It's about to fall into its jaws.

344
00:36:08,211 --> 00:36:11,292
On the edge of the hole,

345
00:36:11,489 --> 00:36:16,308
a huge elephant is
preparing to crush him.

346
00:36:16,489 --> 00:36:18,599
Black and white mice

347
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:23,031
gnaw the roots from
which the man is hanging.

348
00:36:23,289 --> 00:36:26,727
Dangerous bees fly over the hole,

349
00:36:26,927 --> 00:36:29,790
letting fall drops of honey.

350
00:36:30,089 --> 00:36:34,189
Then a man holds out his finger.

351
00:36:34,589 --> 00:36:39,889
Slowly, cautiously,
he holds out his finger

352
00:36:40,289 --> 00:36:43,289
to catch the drops of honey.

353
00:36:43,589 --> 00:36:45,889
Threatened by so many dangers...

354
00:36:46,189 --> 00:36:49,989
with hardly a breath between
him and so many deaths,

355
00:36:50,289 --> 00:36:53,189
he still isn't free from desire.

356
00:36:53,589 --> 00:36:56,289
The thought of honey

357
00:36:56,589 --> 00:37:01,448
holds him to life.

358
00:37:04,500 --> 00:37:05,470
But...

359
00:37:05,670 --> 00:37:07,833
how can one escape?

360
00:37:28,689 --> 00:37:32,309
Come with me to the city.

361
00:37:52,827 --> 00:37:54,093
Krishna!

362
00:37:55,389 --> 00:37:57,389
You didn't keep your word!

363
00:37:57,689 --> 00:38:02,094
You took part in the battle with
weapons more terrible than all the others!

364
00:38:02,789 --> 00:38:05,889
You rejoiced in our misfortune.

365
00:38:06,189 --> 00:38:08,558
You watched my son die.

366
00:38:09,562 --> 00:38:13,652
Krishna, I curse you!

367
00:38:13,852 --> 00:38:18,989
One day, all that you
are building will crumble.

368
00:38:19,389 --> 00:38:23,389
Your friends will be
massacred by your friends.

369
00:38:23,789 --> 00:38:27,416
Dry blood will coat the
walls of your dead city,

370
00:38:27,616 --> 00:38:30,689
where only vultures reign.

371
00:38:30,989 --> 00:38:34,191
Your shattered heart will crack!

372
00:38:34,989 --> 00:38:37,489
You will leave, solitary.

373
00:38:37,789 --> 00:38:40,989
A passer-by will kill you.

374
00:38:41,189 --> 00:38:45,489
Yes, Gandhari. What
you say is true, I know.

375
00:38:45,789 --> 00:38:48,789
But even if you can't see it,

376
00:38:49,189 --> 00:38:52,146
a light has been saved.

377
00:39:19,389 --> 00:39:22,189
Are you going to die too?

378
00:39:22,489 --> 00:39:24,489
Yes, of course,

379
00:39:24,789 --> 00:39:26,989
like any other life.

380
00:39:27,289 --> 00:39:30,489
Time has fixed my limit.

381
00:39:31,989 --> 00:39:34,389
Gandhari's vision was right.

382
00:39:34,689 --> 00:39:38,089
Later, thirty-six years later,

383
00:39:38,489 --> 00:39:42,589
terrible convulsions
tore my kingdom apart.

384
00:39:42,989 --> 00:39:46,389
and I said to myself: time has come.

385
00:39:46,689 --> 00:39:48,489
I must go into the forest,

386
00:39:49,664 --> 00:39:52,989
alone, and die...

387
00:39:53,189 --> 00:39:58,126
on the spot where I drop with fatigue.

388
00:40:03,589 --> 00:40:08,359
A hunter mistook my feet
for the ears of a deer.

389
00:40:13,589 --> 00:40:16,210
There's no cause for concern.

390
00:40:16,516 --> 00:40:18,132
I die.

391
00:40:18,989 --> 00:40:21,618
It's as it should be.

392
00:40:21,789 --> 00:40:25,381
Krishna, I've so many things to ask you.

393
00:40:26,289 --> 00:40:28,737
Tell me quickly.

394
00:40:28,937 --> 00:40:30,689
Why all your tricks

395
00:40:30,889 --> 00:40:32,889
and your bad directions?

396
00:40:34,189 --> 00:40:37,589
I fought against terrible powers,

397
00:40:37,889 --> 00:40:40,489
and I did what I could.

398
00:40:40,989 --> 00:40:45,342
What was it you said to
Arjuna before the battle?

399
00:40:45,989 --> 00:40:48,889
I showed him the power of freedom,

400
00:40:49,189 --> 00:40:52,689
of true, right action,

401
00:40:52,989 --> 00:40:55,489
but he's forgotten it all.

402
00:40:55,889 --> 00:40:59,789
What freedom? What path?

403
00:41:00,289 --> 00:41:03,489
These are very difficult questions

404
00:41:03,889 --> 00:41:07,089
and I can never say anything twice.

405
00:41:07,556 --> 00:41:08,896
Please!

406
00:41:25,989 --> 00:41:29,789
Thirty-six years have gone
by since the great battle

407
00:41:30,189 --> 00:41:34,017
but I still hear the clash
of steel and the cry of flesh.

408
00:41:34,217 --> 00:41:38,752
Last night there were rings
of light around the moon.

409
00:41:44,889 --> 00:41:47,389
You sigh, Gandhari. Are you sad?

410
00:41:47,989 --> 00:41:50,389
It was not a sigh of sadness.

411
00:41:50,689 --> 00:41:53,489
You were married without
being told I was blind.

412
00:41:53,789 --> 00:41:55,489
I destroyed your life.

413
00:41:57,189 --> 00:42:01,691
At first you thought that I couldn't
hold out, that I'd take off the veil.

414
00:42:01,891 --> 00:42:05,675
You could have ordered me to
take it off. You were the king!

415
00:42:05,875 --> 00:42:07,589
You could have said to me:

416
00:42:07,889 --> 00:42:11,489
"At least look at your children!"

417
00:42:11,989 --> 00:42:14,276
But you never said it.

418
00:42:14,476 --> 00:42:16,189
I felt your anger,

419
00:42:16,489 --> 00:42:20,489
I always felt it towards
me. I still feel it.

420
00:42:21,589 --> 00:42:23,669
Our life is nearly over.

421
00:42:24,089 --> 00:42:27,305
- Take off your veil.
- No.

422
00:42:29,889 --> 00:42:32,589
You cannot die with your eyes closed.

423
00:42:32,889 --> 00:42:34,889
Take off your veil.

424
00:42:37,189 --> 00:42:39,084
It's an order.

425
00:42:45,789 --> 00:42:48,189
Have you taken it off?

426
00:42:51,363 --> 00:42:53,824
- Yes.
- What can you see?

427
00:42:54,789 --> 00:42:57,391
I can't see anything clearly.

428
00:42:58,389 --> 00:43:00,967
My eyes must get
accustomed to the light.

429
00:43:01,167 --> 00:43:02,580
And now?

430
00:43:02,889 --> 00:43:07,289
Yes... I begin to distinguish shapes.

431
00:43:07,689 --> 00:43:11,389
Trees... The sky...

432
00:43:11,689 --> 00:43:14,089
Two birds go by.

433
00:43:14,589 --> 00:43:18,088
- It's you, Kunti?
- Yes. It's me.

434
00:43:18,489 --> 00:43:20,289
I've never seen you.

435
00:43:20,589 --> 00:43:23,907
I've never known the look in your eyes.

436
00:43:26,289 --> 00:43:27,789
What?

437
00:43:28,989 --> 00:43:34,245
I've just seen a whole
army rise out of the river.

438
00:43:35,889 --> 00:43:38,289
All my sons

439
00:43:38,589 --> 00:43:44,222
smiling. Their wounds
healing, they're reconciled.

440
00:43:44,689 --> 00:43:49,875
An immense wave of men, all
white, mounting into the air.

441
00:43:55,889 --> 00:43:58,122
I can't see them anymore.

442
00:44:01,055 --> 00:44:04,120
The river is quietly closing again.

443
00:44:08,889 --> 00:44:11,360
There is a fire somewhere in the forest.

444
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,079
Yes. since morning I've felt the smoke,

445
00:44:15,279 --> 00:44:18,189
I hear animals crying as they run away.

446
00:44:19,319 --> 00:44:21,989
The flames are coming towards us.

447
00:44:22,289 --> 00:44:26,977
Dive into the river! Save your life!

448
00:44:27,789 --> 00:44:33,037
Come. Let's both walk
towards the flames.

449
00:45:06,289 --> 00:45:10,089
Who has come as far
as this? Who are you?

450
00:45:11,789 --> 00:45:14,274
I am Yudhishthira.

451
00:45:14,589 --> 00:45:17,115
I'm looking for the gate of paradise.

452
00:45:17,315 --> 00:45:18,514
It's here.

453
00:45:18,789 --> 00:45:21,736
- Are you alone?
- Yes.

454
00:45:22,123 --> 00:45:24,489
We decided to leave the earth,

455
00:45:24,889 --> 00:45:26,989
my brothers and Draupadi.

456
00:45:27,389 --> 00:45:30,489
But while climbing the
mountain they slipped.

457
00:45:30,789 --> 00:45:33,889
One after the other, they fell into
the abyss: the twins, Draupadi...

458
00:45:35,289 --> 00:45:39,893
even Arjuna, even Bhima.

459
00:45:40,089 --> 00:45:41,710
Yes, I've come here alone.

460
00:45:41,910 --> 00:45:44,589
Your kingdom has known
many years of happiness,

461
00:45:44,989 --> 00:45:47,689
you have proved yourself
to be the best of kings.

462
00:45:47,989 --> 00:45:51,872
Leave this dog, and enter.

463
00:45:54,989 --> 00:45:58,097
- I can't leave this dog.
- Why?

464
00:45:58,563 --> 00:46:00,922
He's followed me ever
since I left the city.

465
00:46:01,122 --> 00:46:03,981
Paradise isn't open to dogs!

466
00:46:04,181 --> 00:46:05,963
Leave him behind!

467
00:46:06,163 --> 00:46:07,950
It's no cruelty,

468
00:46:08,150 --> 00:46:11,875
your brothers are here already. Enter!

469
00:46:12,076 --> 00:46:13,845
Come and join them.

470
00:46:14,045 --> 00:46:16,172
Leave this dog!

471
00:46:16,372 --> 00:46:18,589
Abandon a creature who loves me?

472
00:46:18,889 --> 00:46:21,542
Who's alone and defenceless?

473
00:46:23,989 --> 00:46:25,041
I can't.

474
00:46:25,241 --> 00:46:26,989
You've given up everything...

475
00:46:27,789 --> 00:46:29,822
Give up this dog,

476
00:46:30,022 --> 00:46:32,977
otherwise you won't get past this door.

477
00:46:33,177 --> 00:46:36,189
I will stay out here
in the freezing cold,

478
00:46:36,589 --> 00:46:38,530
with this dog.

479
00:46:43,389 --> 00:46:44,732
Enter.

480
00:46:50,389 --> 00:46:54,141
The dog is another form
of Dharma, your father.

481
00:46:54,589 --> 00:46:57,798
Do you remember that a long time
ago he took the shape of a lake?

482
00:46:57,998 --> 00:47:00,951
He's always followed and observed you.

483
00:47:01,989 --> 00:47:06,707
Enter the inconceivable region.

484
00:47:11,189 --> 00:47:15,489
Can I go in with my body?

485
00:47:16,030 --> 00:47:18,299
Yes, come.

486
00:47:44,089 --> 00:47:46,857
- Is that Duryodhana?
- Yes.

487
00:47:47,089 --> 00:47:48,209
He's here?

488
00:47:48,409 --> 00:47:52,239
He's here with his family,
with all his brothers.

489
00:47:52,789 --> 00:47:56,089
Millions of men died because
of him, and he's here?

490
00:47:56,489 --> 00:47:59,289
He drinks, he smiles... he seems happy!

491
00:47:59,489 --> 00:48:03,610
He is happy. Here all hates vanish.

492
00:48:03,810 --> 00:48:05,163
Kiss him.

493
00:48:14,289 --> 00:48:16,969
Don't ask me to kiss him. I can't.

494
00:48:19,089 --> 00:48:21,989
If this murderer is here,

495
00:48:22,289 --> 00:48:24,589
where are my brothers?

496
00:48:24,889 --> 00:48:26,589
Where is our wife?

497
00:48:26,889 --> 00:48:30,569
What is paradise if I'm
separated from my family?

498
00:48:31,289 --> 00:48:33,170
I want to see them.

499
00:48:33,601 --> 00:48:36,432
I'll show them to you. Come!

500
00:49:02,489 --> 00:49:03,689
Where are you taking me?

501
00:49:03,889 --> 00:49:06,690
To your brothers. Come.

502
00:49:13,689 --> 00:49:16,289
Where is this path here leading?

503
00:49:19,089 --> 00:49:22,199
The stench is dreadful, it's all black.

504
00:49:24,989 --> 00:49:27,317
The mist smells of putrefaction.

505
00:49:27,517 --> 00:49:28,789
Follow me.

506
00:49:33,489 --> 00:49:34,889
Where are we?

507
00:49:36,789 --> 00:49:38,889
Where are my brothers?

508
00:49:39,489 --> 00:49:41,354
Farther still.

509
00:49:42,589 --> 00:49:44,189
Go on a bit,

510
00:49:44,589 --> 00:49:46,389
I'm stopping here.

511
00:49:46,689 --> 00:49:49,089
If the smell upsets you,

512
00:49:49,389 --> 00:49:52,040
you can turn back with me.

513
00:50:00,689 --> 00:50:03,689
Yudhishthira, don't go!

514
00:50:04,189 --> 00:50:05,789
Stay with us!

515
00:50:06,489 --> 00:50:09,089
You bring us a fresh breeze.

516
00:50:09,389 --> 00:50:10,789
Stay!

517
00:50:11,189 --> 00:50:13,872
Our pains are lighter when you're here.

518
00:50:14,389 --> 00:50:15,789
Who are you?

519
00:50:17,089 --> 00:50:18,889
Who's speaking?

520
00:50:19,289 --> 00:50:23,889
Don't you know me? I'm
Karna, your brother.

521
00:50:24,289 --> 00:50:25,889
I'm Arjuna.

522
00:50:26,889 --> 00:50:28,489
I'm Bhima.

523
00:50:29,189 --> 00:50:30,489
I'm Nakula.

524
00:50:30,789 --> 00:50:32,389
I'm Sahadeva.

525
00:50:32,689 --> 00:50:36,027
I'm Draupadi. We are all here.

526
00:50:36,789 --> 00:50:40,789
You! Here!

527
00:50:44,589 --> 00:50:46,689
Tortured!

528
00:50:49,489 --> 00:50:52,289
In this rotten smell of corpses...

529
00:50:56,589 --> 00:50:58,789
Who decided this?

530
00:51:02,189 --> 00:51:04,137
Am I awake?

531
00:51:07,389 --> 00:51:13,126
What act have they committed
to be thrown down into hell?

532
00:51:22,989 --> 00:51:25,889
I condemn the gods!

533
00:51:30,789 --> 00:51:34,644
I condemn Dharma!

534
00:51:50,131 --> 00:51:54,451
I will stay here, forever,

535
00:51:55,489 --> 00:51:57,842
with my family.

536
00:52:00,489 --> 00:52:03,289
Then the keeper of the last dwelling

537
00:52:03,489 --> 00:52:05,989
said to Yudhishthira:

538
00:52:08,089 --> 00:52:12,581
You've known neither paradise nor hell.

539
00:52:12,781 --> 00:52:16,089
Here there is no happiness,

540
00:52:16,489 --> 00:52:22,413
no punishment, no family, no enemies.

541
00:52:22,789 --> 00:52:25,164
Raise in tranquillity.

542
00:52:25,364 --> 00:52:30,436
Here words end, like thought.

543
00:52:30,689 --> 00:52:34,463
This was your last illusion.

544
00:53:01,889 --> 00:53:03,787
So they died without children?

545
00:53:03,989 --> 00:53:05,089
All of them?

546
00:53:05,389 --> 00:53:07,080
Yes, all of them.

547
00:53:07,863 --> 00:53:09,576
But you told me:

548
00:53:09,979 --> 00:53:12,672
This story tells the story of your race.

549
00:53:13,589 --> 00:53:15,843
Am I born from a dead race?

550
00:53:17,289 --> 00:53:19,122
Look at this woman.

551
00:53:19,389 --> 00:53:23,117
She was Abhimanyu's wife,
and she bears his child.

552
00:53:23,317 --> 00:53:26,237
Krishna saved the life of this child

553
00:53:26,437 --> 00:53:30,789
because his blood is the
blood of Arjuna, his friend.

554
00:53:31,189 --> 00:53:35,593
Centuries and centuries will go by

555
00:53:35,889 --> 00:53:40,807
and you will come from this woman.
