The Legend of Hanuman (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 12 - The Mango and the Sun - full transcript
Hanuman hears voices in the wind and wonders if something is wrong. That is when Jambhvan helps him confront memories of a life forgotten.
I fear for her
She is all alone,
held by the demon king
She is too gentle a soul
for such torment
Sita will not falter, dear brother
She, like all women,
possesses the divine feminine force
Ask any child the name of the goddess,
and you will hear one word
Mother
Nothing could exist without her,
without the divine feminine force,
the prime energy of the universe
She is all-loving, all-nurturing
The mother of us all
And fiercely protective
of those she loves
And when enraged,
she becomes fury itself
An unstoppable force
The power of
the divine feminine force
is capable of
destroying the universe entirely
So, it is the demon king
who should worry
For all his powers, Ravan has awoken
divine forces that will destroy him
What you say is true
Her faith, her spirit, is unshakable
If only we had other divine forces
aiding us
We have Hanuman
I love Hanuman as my brother, but...
The other generals have all returned, Ram
Where is he?
The long silence makes my hope fade
The faith that I have in Sita
and in you, Lakshman, I have in Hanuman
There are forces within him
that will transform the world
In Hanuman?
Though he doesn't yet realize it
I just hope he discovers it in time
For there is much work to do
This, brother,
is the best idea we've ever had
The best idea I've had,
for I'm older and wiser
And with this,
we'll save Princess Sita for sure
We'll be heroes
The toast of Kishkindha
Mother will be so proud...
of me
Magnificent, isn't it?
Of course!
You're incredibly brave
Really?
Because there is no way
I'd ever sail in that
You just wait, Hanuman
You don't see the potential in it
I think I've seen enough for now
Princess Sita is on the far side of this
sea, and there's no other way across it
If we're to save her,
then we'll need boats
We'll have the Princess back
by tomorrow!
Or... the day after?
Maybe we need to find
another way across
You and your stupid ideas
My ideas?
Whatever it is, we must do something
What do you think, Hanuman?
Hanuman?
Who's there?
Hanuman? Who is where?
Jambhvan, didn't you hear it?
Hear what?
There are voices in the wind
They are telling me something
You must have heard them
I did not. But perhaps their message
is just for you
Message?
But what...
We have a problem
What problem?
We have plenty of wood,
but no skill in boat-making
I, too, can't do any better
What other choice do we have?
If we start with something simple,
we might be able to sail across
to Lanka and rescue the Princess
There are other ways
to cross the sea
You mean swim?
If there's anything we do worse
than boat-building, it's swimming
Water is not our element, old bear
I was not talking of swimming,
but jumping
From tree to tree,
not across an entire ocean
That's impossible
You could do it, Hanuman!
The leap is nothing to you
A hundred miles
would hardly stretch your muscles
You've leapt so much further
So much further
Don't you remember?
Remember what?
What you truly are
Jambhvan, you know I trust you,
but you're starting to sound a bit cra...
Hanuman
That voice again
You must remember
Hanuman
Who's there?
Why do you call me?
Hanuman
Hanuman
Hanuman
Who are you?
Hanuman
What do you want of me?
Tell me!
What, Angad? What?
I can't hear you!
The wind's too loud!
It's drowning you out!
What wind, Hanuman? There is no wind
Calm yourself, brother
What do you want of me?
I don't understand. He screams at nothing
What's wrong with him?
Nothing is wrong, and his words are
directed at something beyond our world
Beyond our understanding
Help him, Jambhvan
Hanuman
What's happening?
There are voices all crying out!
I don't understand!
Steady yourself. This tempest has not come
to strike you down
but to raise you up
Things have been hidden from you
for too long, Hanuman
Things? What things?
Your true nature
It is time you know the truth
What truth?
I'm just an ordinary vaanar
No, Hanuman
You know there is more
You must admit it to yourself
The foes you have conquered,
the terrible creatures that not even
the mighty Vaali could have defeated...
the treachery you uncovered
from within your own people...
and saved us from more subtle traps
that almost robbed us of our will
These are not actions
of an ordinary vaanar
I did what I had to do
That is all
You did...
what no one else could accomplish
You led us here...
to where we will find Princess Sita
Do not fear
what is happening to you, Hanuman
Your entire life has led up
to this very moment
Awake, Hanuman
Open your inner eye
See the world as it truly is
See who you truly are
He is ready. Ready to know
Ready to remember
That's a mango
There is a mango, Mother
I want it!
It is too high for you and me
I'll get you another...
But I want that one!
I will have that mango
I'm coming to get you, juicy mango
I thought it was a dream
No. Not a dream. A memory
One taken from you
to protect you and us all
I... I remember this
And why do you believe
you are an ordinary vaanar?
When you are so much more
But, as a child, you did not understand
how to limit your powers
You had to be stopped
in case you accidentally destroyed
the three realms
The gods had a duty to all existence
Though you have no malice in you,
your limitless potential
had to be contained
So, they stole my powers?
No. They knew that one day
the world would need you
So, they came to your home
soon after
The gods themselves decided...
that there was only one way
to protect the universe...
and that was to make you forget
There are too many memories stirring,
Jambhvan
I don't know which to believe
Who am I?
Tell me
That is not for me to tell
Then who will tell me?
You must hear this from your father
Hanuman
Who... who's there?
Hanuman
Please show yourself
Who are you?
I am your father, Hanuman
