The Legend of Hanuman (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 11 - Homecoming - full transcript
After Lanka's destruction, Vibheeshan confronts Ravan and his obsession with Sita. Hanuman returns to his kingdom where Ram and King Sugreev restlessly await.
Of all the emotions that drive us
to reach the impossible
there is none greater than love.
Love can turn the smallest of creatures
into the greatest of heroes.
For true courage flows out of love.
Yet there is another emotion
that moves people to climb mountains
and cross deserts,
to face certain death.
A powerful emotion that can infect
kings and beggars alike,
that can destroy
both empires and families.
One emotion that can cause
noble beings to turn insane
and drive them to dangerous ends.
Once tasted, the bitter venom
of its sting rarely subsides.
Ravan has felt its bite.
The bite of...
obsession.
Have you seen the city?
So many districts destroyed.
All by a single vaanar.
What can we do? We dare not defy
the king. He would destroy us.
His obsession with Princess Sita
grows worse every day.
Quiet, you fools! He comes.
For the first time,
I am feeling the sting of failure.
Last night a single vaanar rampaged
through my kingdom.
Where were you, my noble lords?
Where were you
when homes were burned?
Where were you when the kingdom
was consumed by flames?
Here. Feasting on the riches
that I bestowed upon you.
You have become sheep.
Fat, soft, stupid.
But I am not displeased by the destruction
wrought by that vaanar.
I thank him.
I would kiss his feet if he were here,
for he has become my guru
and has taught me a harsh lesson.
But it is the harsh lessons
we remember best.
That victory makes one weak
and success is a poison.
Sweet, yet fatal.
That we rakshasas were not made
for peace.
You're right, your Majesty.
Hanuman has indeed delivered
a valuable lesson.
That dharm will not be denied,
that our crimes will be punished!
That this is a war we will not win.
Do not doom our entire race
for your pride, brother.
Listen to Vibheeshan, great King.
There is no shame
in taking the path for peace.
The heavens quake
at the name Ravan.
The gods have felt your boot
upon their necks.
What else is there left to prove
on the battlefield? Nothing.
Make peace, my Lord.
And add the jewelled title
of peace-maker to your crown.
Do you agree with this, Vibheeshan?
Yes, what you hear is wisdom.
What I hear
is the singing of cowards.
What do you say, Indrajit?
As you say, Father. Cowards.
What happened to you, Vibheeshan?
When did you last even hold a sword?
I put my sword away
when I realized
that it would one day destroy me.
Spoken like a true coward.
You sicken me, brother. Get out.
If I ever see you in my kingdom,
I will kill you.
Take these snivelling fools
with you.
I will not have even their shadows
taint our soil.
He will go crawling to Ram's side.
That could be dangerous.
Imprison them, at least.
I do not care. Let him go to Ram like
the beggar that he is.
He will betray you, Father!
He already has.
Go, traitor.
Goodbye, brother.
Indrajit.
Bring in my generals.
We have much to do.
Time is short.
Nal, look. Over there.
Something's coming.
No, brother. Not something.
Well, I'm back.
Hanuman!
We saw strange lights on the horizon,
Hanuman. I was beginning to worry.
Now that I see you,
you seem remarkably well.
I've never felt better, old bear.
Where were you?
You were gone a long time.
I was kept busy.
Busy? How?
I'll tell you. It's a long story.
That's quite a story.
It is.
But the Princess is safe
and unharmed?
Yes, but not for long.
Ravan has given her a month
to submit to him,
or his armies
will destroy all human cities.
She is stronger
than any woman I have met.
Truly Prince Ram's equal in all ways.
Only her love for him sustains her.
Then go back, Hanuman.
I will come with you this time.
Rescue her while I destroy
the other half of Lanka!
I will kill Ravan myself!
She would not have it.
There is too much at stake.
The fate of mankind rests on us.
Ravan must be defeated
by Prince Ram and no other.
That way the world will know
that balance has been restored.
But the Prince will need us all
by his side.
We are bound on this quest
until it ends, my kinsman.
We will stand beside Prince Ram
until he is reunited with his wife,
until Ravan is destroyed.
And I will stand beside you,
my friend. For Prince Ram.
For Prince Ram!
For Prince Ram!
For Prince Ram!
Prince Ram! Prince Ram!
Prince Ram! Prince Ram! Prince Ram!
The quest has ended.
Time to go home.
Mother will make us
her special saffron pudding.
I want none of that pudding.
She'll make my favourite dessert.
In your dreams.
She'll definitely make pudding.
There will be both pudding
and my dessert.
Sweet laddus!
Covered in honey!
Don't worry, Angad.
We'll be home soon.
That's what worries me.
I did not leave Kishkindha
under the best of terms.
How will King Sugreev be
when I return? All the things I said...
Forgotten. Your deeds
speak for themselves, Angad.
We would never have succeeded
without you.
The king will hear
of what his nephew has achieved.
You are the hero, the Crown Prince,
you were destined to be.
Your father would be proud.
This is a fine mace.
The finest you have made.
Thanks to Prince Ram of Ayodhya,
my Lord.
He has shown us
how to make our steel stronger,
its blow deadlier.
But will it be enough?
I will send you more men to help.
We must work these forges day and night.
As you command, my King.
Your Majesty!
Sire... sire. There's...
Take a breath, then tell me.
They're back! They're back!
Who? Who is back?
All of them! Jambhvan,
Prince Angad, Nal, Nil and Hanuman!
They have come home!
Where are they?
The grove, sire!
They've taken over the grove
and are feasting!
Dadhimukh is trying to stop them.
Dadhimukh? Bring them here
immediately.
I will find the two princes.
No, you go get the princes.
I'll head straight to the grove.
Somehow I think
Dadhimukh may need the help.
This is an outrage!
You have no right to be here!
This is King Sugreev's
private grove!
And our friend Angad here
is the Prince!
Put those down!
Those fruits are the rarest delicacy.
They're only for the King.
Stop it!
That honeycomb is specially made
for the King!
Give that back!
Don't make me come up there
and...
Let go of me, you fools!
Put him down.
Where's Hanuman?
Those young rascals.
Look what they have done
to your royal grove.
Let them have their fun,
old man.
Don't you remember being young?
When you used to monkey around
in Kishkindha?
My... my King!
Tidy yourselves up!
This is your King and you stand
before him like vagabonds!
There is no better honey
than that in the royal grove.
I think
King Sugreev should share...
Oh!
Your Majesty, please forgive us.
We were in need of sustenance.
We have travelled so far
and, once we knew we were home,
well, everyone was so excited
we had to stop and celebrate.
-We shouldn't have, but...
-Quiet!
Stop talking and come here.
Welcome home.
How I've missed you all!
I have a gift for you, my Prince.
And a message from your wife.
She is safe and asks
that you come to her quickly.
Rise up and stand beside me.
You, the divine messenger of Ram.
The repository of
immense strength.
Born of Anjani,
the son of the wind.
With limbs as sturdy as vajra,
you are valiant and brave.
On you attends good sense
and wisdom.
You dispel the darkness
of evil thoughts.
As of today, let it be known
that I have one more brother.
Prince Ram!
Prince Ram!
Prince Ram!
Prince Ram!
Prince Ram!
Prince Ram!
