00:00The final chapter of Kurukshetra was about to unravel.
00:09Unimaginable, unforeseen, inevitable.
00:13The kind of end that keeps a story alive until it ends.
00:22A terrifying twist filled with deceit and conspiracy
00:27that would soon be brought about by four characters
00:30who were still awake so late in the night,
00:34looking for ways to pursue it.
00:38Ashwatthama, the new commander.
00:40What is left of this war anyway, Duryodhana?
00:43My blood-soaked Samshabdaks,
00:45my brave, beheaded Sindus,
00:48my butchered Narayani army,
00:50and the thousands of warriors whose corpses now lie scattered all over Kurukshetra.
00:56My Gaurav army, my soldiers,
01:00and all the warriors who gave up their lives
01:02stand with you, Ashwatthama.
01:06Tonight, the Pandas will pay a heavy price
01:10for the debt of every one of my soldiers.
01:13Hmm?
01:15I swear by Lord Shiv,
01:16until I have carried out my revenge against the Pandas,
01:19neither will I stop,
01:21nor will I let this war come to an end.
01:23The Pandas killed my father.
01:27I will destroy their very bloodline
01:29and offer them as a sacrifice
01:31to the burning pyres of Kurukshetra.
01:34You will officiate as the priest,
01:37O Prince Duryodhana.
01:40So be it, Ashwatthama, so be it.
01:45May every breath you take have only one purpose.
01:49Ashwatthama's revenge.
01:53And to achieve it,
01:54do whatever is necessary.
01:57Bring me proof, Ashwatthama.
02:00Get me the severed heads
02:02of all five Pandas.
02:06Only then
02:07will my soul be at peace.
02:11Paint that gem on your head
02:13with their blood, Ashwatthama.
02:16Paint it with their blood.
02:18The night was at its darkest hour,
02:22but the storm raging in Ashwatthama's mind
02:25was even darker.
02:27Kripacharya and Krithavarma
02:29fell asleep the moment they lay down to rest,
02:32but there was no sleep in Ashwatthama's eyes.
02:35Ashwatthama,
02:36the boy born with the cry of a horse,
02:39had a gem on his forehead
02:41that protected him from all danger.
02:43But who could defend him
02:45against the perils
02:46that he was now calling upon himself?
02:50Dear father,
02:51I know you're watching me
02:52from up in the heavens.
02:54The responsibility that you once wore
02:56like a crown upon your head
02:57now lies on my shoulders.
02:59The responsibility
03:00of achieving victory
03:01for Prince Duryodhan.
03:03But I don't know
03:04how to carry it out.
03:06Stop!
03:21Oh, wise one!
03:24If this vision is just a dream,
03:30then let it end now!
03:32However,
03:39if you are a sign
03:40from my father, Dronacharya,
03:42then show me the way.
03:44Show me the way,
03:45oh, wise one!
04:02Drowned in arrogance,
04:07wrestling with the darkness,
04:10he wandered,
04:11staring into the night,
04:13searching for a path
04:14in the void of terror.
04:17Silent, yet restless,
04:20focused, yet unsettled,
04:23a voice came from the abyss,
04:25slaughter.
04:26One path,
04:34one truth.
04:36He repeated to himself,
04:38slaughter.
04:48Aswatthama?
04:49What are you doing?
04:52Preparing, Uncle Kripacharya.
04:54I'm preparing
04:55for the end of this war
04:57and this story.
04:59Now at this hour?
05:00But why, son?
05:01It is a sign
05:01from Lord Shiv,
05:02the destroyer.
05:04If the command
05:05has been given
05:05at this hour,
05:06it must be carried out
05:07at once.
05:09And I have planned it all.
05:11Intoxicated by victory,
05:13the enemy's guard
05:13will be down.
05:15This is the perfect moment
05:16to attack their camp
05:17and take back
05:18the victory
05:19that was always
05:20rightfully ours.
05:22Do not be impulsive,
05:23Aswatthama.
05:24We must consult
05:25with King Dhritarashtra
05:27and also our
05:28Prime Minister Vidur
05:29before taking
05:29such a dangerous step.
05:31Any haste will-
05:32Any haste?
05:33I fear we might
05:34already be too late.
05:36Kretabharma!
05:37What's that?
05:38Is it a lion?
05:40Yes.
05:41The lion is here.
05:42And now it will go out
05:44hunting for its prey.
05:45Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
05:48Unaware of impending doom, the primary narrator of this tale, Sanjay, was asleep in Hastinapur.
05:56Perhaps for him, this war had ended with the defeat of Duryodhan.
06:01But I was awake, because I knew that even though soldiers die in war, their vengeance lives on.
06:09Looks like they all had a grand victory celebration here.
06:12And now their funeral will be just as grand. There is not a single soldier on guard. Everyone is asleep.
06:17And it will be quite a while before they wake up.
06:21There, the commander's tent. My father's murderer Drishtidumna must be in there.
06:27And that tent there is the Pandavas.
06:29All five must be sleeping there. That hypocrite Yudhishtir, that monster Bhim, that coward Arjun, and the utterly useless Nakuland Sehdev.
06:38Today I shall free them all from their mortal bodies.
06:43But first, I must go and deal with that hyena Drishtidumna.
06:49I am the new commander. My wrath will turn this celebration of victory into a dance of death.
06:56The three of you wait here, stand guard at this gate.
06:59And yes, make sure, not a single soul escapes from here alive.
07:04As you, commander.
07:05Ashratama, you coward! If you want to kill me, why don't you fight like a warrior?
07:20Just like you did, huh? When you killed my unarmed father? You are no warrior, Drishtidumna. You are a disgrace! This is the death you deserve!
07:41Shikhandi?
07:48You wretch! You sinner! You attacked him in his sleep! There is no place for the likes of you even in hell!
07:58Oh really? Where do you think you will end up? Shikhandi? You will pay for what you did to Pratama Abhishma!
08:04Oh no. It is the Bond of Stun.
08:34Everything is destroyed. You monsters!
08:39The severed heads of the five Pand of warriors as promised. A special gift from commander Ashwatthama to Prince Duryodhan.
08:50You killed them! You killed all five of them!
08:54Just as you commanded, my prince.
08:59The most joyous news in the past 18 days!
09:04Ah, my ears have longed to hear these words.
09:10Give me that monster beam's head now! The one who single-handedly slaughtered my 99 brothers!
09:17Today, today, today, I shall anoint my forehead with the blood from his head!
09:32What have you done, Ashwatthama?
09:34I did as you commanded, Prince Duryodhan. I annihilated the entire Pand of camp.
09:39I made sure that every warrior was slaughtered to death!
09:43Crown Prince, what is the matter? Did this not please you?
09:47This head that I crushed to pieces so easily! Do you really believe it belongs to Bhim?
09:53What do you mean?
09:54You were fooled by the spitting image of Bhim and ended up killing his son Sutsum instead!
10:00The Upapandavas must have been asleep in that tent.
10:03You mistook them for the Pandavas and slaughtered their sons!
10:06You failed to fulfill my command, Ashwatthama!
10:11Instead, instead, you've done something that Bhishma, Karan, and your father's throne never succeeded in doing!
10:22By doing what you did, you've left the Pandavas celebrations hollow!
10:26You have turned their victory conch blasts into wales of mourning!
10:31This news is as glorious as the defeat of Indra!
10:35But the moment they hear the news, I'm sure that those five brothers will come looking for you.
10:40So let them come! The five Pandavas, Krishna, Satyaki, I will deal with them all!
10:46Ashwatthama fears no one! Let them come!
10:49Go! Go away! The four of you must leave right now!
10:54Now go off in different directions!
10:58Your crown prince is proud of you, Ashwatthama!
11:03Look! Look! A shower of petals from the sky!
11:08The messengers of heaven are calling out to me!
11:12Prince Duryodhan!
11:13I request you to tell my father, Drone, how I killed Trishtedumna and avenged his...
11:20Crown Prince? Prince Duryodhan!
11:23No! No, no, no, no, Prince! Prince Duryodhan!
11:27I have lost my five sons in a single night! And they're killer! That snake with the gem, Ashwatthama, is still alive!
11:29I have lost my five sons in a single night! And they're killer! That snake with the gem, Ashwatthama, is still alive!
11:34But he will not stay alive for very long, Panchali! I have avenged the wrongs done against you before! Today!
11:37I have lost my five sons in a single night! And they're killer! That snake with the gem, Ashwatthama, is still alive!
11:56But he will not stay alive for very long, Panchali! I have avenged the wrongs done against you before! Today, I will do so again! I swear by Sutsom, I will rip that gem from his forehead and lay it at your feet!
12:10But before that, we need to find him! He must have realized by now that he did not kill us, but our five sons instead! He must have fled far away from here in order to escape us!
12:21Heaven, hell or earth, he must be somewhere! Even if I have to turn the world upside down to look for that murderer Ashwatthama, I will do so without a second thought!
12:31You need not go to that much trouble! I know exactly where that snake can be found, Arjun!
12:36Then you be our guide, Brother Bhim!
12:38Until you bring the gem from that evil coward's forehead to me, I will not eat a single grain of food, even if it costs me my life!
12:50Do not drown in the sorrow of what has passed! Try to prepare for what is to come!
12:55Your daughter-in-law, Uttara's son! Her womb is carrying not just Abhimanyu's son, Krishna, but your grandson and the heir of the Pandava dynasty! Try to think of him!
13:06The hermitage of the great sage-byars? Remember how we disguised ourselves when we had to stay in hiding for a year? Hmm, I became a woman!
13:09The hermitage of the great sage-byars? Remember how we disguised ourselves when we had to stay in hiding for a year? Hmm, I became a woman!
13:13Brihan Nala! I spent one whole year disguised as a woman in the kingdom of Matsya!
13:20But that was only you, Arjun! Because Devi Urvashi's curse had turned you into a eunach! But we were under no such curse! Do you remember how we disguised as a woman in the kingdom of Matsya?
13:27The hermitage of the great sage-byars? Remember how we disguised ourselves when we had to stay in hiding for a year? Hmm, I became a woman! Brihan Nala! I spent one whole year disguised as a woman in the kingdom of Matsya!
13:41But that was only you, Arjun! Because Devi Urvashi's curse had turned you into a eunach! But we were under no such curse! Do you remember how the rest of us hid our identity?
13:52In the guise of Brahmans? Hmm...
14:00I'm sure Ashwatthama is disguised as one of these Brahmans! We just need to identify him!
14:13There he is! Ashwatthama!
14:17Why are you hiding there, you snake? You attacked children when they were sleeping! You spineless commander of a defeated army! Show yourself!
14:26Neither is your crown prince Duryothan alive anymore, nor is your father!
14:31Who will save you now? Face us!
14:35Face us!
14:41Do not worry about me! Worry about yourself!
14:45When my father could turn inept students like you into warriors than imagine!
14:50How well he must have trained his own son!
14:53My father may not be here with me!
14:56But his skills, his weapons, and his knowledge are mine now!
15:02And that is more than enough for you!
15:04Oom Brahmastra astrabharam uttarayanti pukaram trilokikam namah namah!
15:10Agakshati tivragantim brahmastraani namahmi namahmi brahmastraam keruvarangam!
15:16Namah namah bhavasagardarvanti yajohi palini poorva asti!
15:21Dharmani dharmani pachyanti prachyanti namahmi namahmi iti siddham!
15:26Dharthi pukaram dharthi bharam utrayanti!
15:29Brahmachyami brahmayogi brahmasansarvyayam!
15:36Yada yada sevitam paline mitagarnam!
15:39Namah namah brahmastraadi vedankaryanti!
15:44Arjun, you will have to stop Ashwathama's attack!
15:47Huh? Yes, I have to stop him!
15:49But how? Keshav, how?
15:50In his rage, this arrogant fool has summoned-
15:52Has summoned the brahmashira weapon, I know, Arjun.
16:02If we do not stop him, fire will rain down from the sky, Arjun.
16:05Which will completely destroy all of nature.
16:07But Ashwathama is invincible in this moment, Keshav.
16:10If you cannot stop Ashwathama, then at least stop his weapon.
16:13Unleash your most fearsome weapon now to save this world from certain destruction.
16:21May my fellow disciple Ashwathama find peace.
16:28O brahmashira weapon, calm the fire raging from his weapon.
16:33Oh great warriors! Is this still the same war that you all have started to win the throne of Hastinapur?
16:51Why unleash such weapons?
16:53If you do, there will be no Hastinapur left, nor any life.
16:57No warrior in history has ever used these weapons.
17:01You still have time. Renounce your desire for personal vengeance and take back your weapons.
17:15Calm down Ashwathama.
17:17What are you doing Ashwathama? Obey my command this very moment and take back your weapon.
17:38Do as you are told, otherwise...
17:40A little knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge at all Maharshi Vyas.
17:44Ashwathama did not change the direction of his weapon, not because of a vow or the desire for revenge.
17:49The unfortunate truth is that he simply does not know how to recall his weapon.
17:54Acharya Drona never really taught Ashwathama how to withdraw the powerful brahmashira weapon.
17:59Because he was well aware of his angry nature.
18:02For him, this was always the final resort.
18:05Spare the little child being nurtured in Uttara's womb, Ashwathama.
18:10Otherwise, no matter what you do, you will never be able to atone for this thing.
18:14Hahahaha! Look, father!
18:17Mothers will instill fear in their children with tales of your unworthy son.
18:22All except for Uttara.
18:24Hahahaha!
18:26Hahahaha!
18:27Hahahaha!
18:28Hahahaha!
18:29Hahahaha!
18:30Hahahaha!
18:31Hahahaha!
18:32Hahahaha!
18:33Hahahaha!
18:34Hahahaha!
18:35Hahahaha!
18:36Hahahaha!
18:37Hahahaha!
18:38Hahahaha!
18:39Hahahaha!
18:40Hahahaha!
18:41Hahahaha!
18:42Hahahaha!
18:43Hahahaha!
18:44Hahahaha!
18:45Hahahaha!
18:46Hahahaha!
18:47Hahahaha!
18:48Hahahaha!
18:49Hahahaha!
18:50Hahahaha!
18:51Hahahaha!
18:52Can you hear the eerie silence, Arjun?
18:55It is the extinguished scream of that lifeless child.
18:59The bloodline of the Pandavas has come to an end!
19:03It is true that you killed an unborn child, Ashwatthama.
19:07And at this moment, Arjun's grandson is not alive.
19:12No!
19:14But listen again, and you will hear the sweet cry of new life.
19:19You may have the power to take life.
19:23But I have the power to grant life.
19:26You forget, Ashwatthama, that if I am the one to create this entire universe,
19:30would saving the life of an infant be beyond me?
19:33You, your vicious rage, all your powers combined,
19:38can do nothing to harm my creation as long as I am.
19:44And I will always be.
19:47You have always been protected by this gem.
19:50But your impure mind has made you unworthy of it.
19:53I, Vasudev Krishna, declare that the boon of virtual immortality you received will instead become your curse now.
20:05Eons will change.
20:06Dynasties will change.
20:07The lives of all creatures and the very meaning of life will change.
20:11But you shall wander this earth for all eternity, Ashwatthama, bearing the weight of your sins forever.
20:17The pain of your wounds will not let you sleep.
20:22You will beg for death, but death will not come.
20:28The child against whom you committed the unforgivable act of murder will lay the foundation of a glorious empire, Ashwatthama.
20:35And you will have no choice but to live on and be witness to his legacy and valor.
20:42Duryodhan, my, my, my son.
20:54I never experienced the joy of seeing my son, Gandhari.
20:59But today, today I can clearly sense that he has moved on.
21:04He is gone.
21:04Our son is gone, Gandhari.
21:09Duryodhan is gone.
21:11The war that men fight ends on the battlefield.
21:16But the war that rages inside every woman's heart, that never truly ends.
21:22They are allowed to step onto the grounds of Kurukshetra.
21:26Only when it's time to perform the last rites of their sons.
21:32Whom should I hold responsible for this?
21:34Terrifying war raging inside.
21:38Inside my very soul.
21:41What is done is done, Gandhari.
21:43What good would it do now to hold anyone responsible for it?
21:47Someone needs to answer all my questions.
21:50And I know who bears that responsibility.
21:56The Kurukshetra war was the first chapter.
21:59The echo of this Kurukshetra war will reverberate in every age to come.
22:04Who would it do now to offend anyone?
22:06Do you love him?
