(theme music)
(thwacking on stone)
(thwacking continues)
(shovel scrapes)
Huh?
There's someone alive!
(footsteps approaching)
(tense music)
Baahubali...
(thwacking continues)
(thud)
Hurry!
(spits)
(Bhallaladeva grunts)
One... two...
(strains and screams) Three!
(suspenseful music)
(Bhallaladeva grunts)
(rumbling)
(suspenseful music)
-(Sivagami grunts) -(pants)
Take my hand.
(Bhallaladeva grunts)
(screams) Quickly!
(girl grunts, pants)
I thought I was...
Hush now. You're safe.
(thud)
(gulps)
We have been searching all day, Maa.
If there's anyone left, they're beyond saving.
-I... am sorry, Maa. -(footsteps fading)
But this ruin is Baahubali's tomb now.
No, it can't be! My Baahu is alive.
(rumbling)
(tense music)
(rumbling continues)
Dig!
(rumbling)
(epic music)
(rumbling continues)
My son...
(Baahubali screams)
(thud)
(Baahubali breathes heavily)
Help him!
(footsteps approaching)
-Baahu, my brother! -(gulps)
I knew a few rocks couldn't stop you.
(Baahubali pants)
Rocks?
Oh, I see only pebbles.
(Bhallaladeva laughs)
Cats have nine lives, but maybe you have even more.
-Can anything kill you, I wonder? -(gulps)
With you and Mother around, indeed nothing can kill me.
Thank you for searching for me, Bhalla.
Now, what did I miss?
The terrorists escaped.
We lost them when they crossed the border.
The boys you saved...
and the old man. He was working with Raktadeva from the very beginning.
I also learned that too late.
Despite my friendship,
Raktadeva inspires loyalty in his people.
For them, I am a privileged prince. They believe in Raktadeva
because he has suffered every hardship they have.
He is a man of the people, Bhalla.
And what are we?
Rulers of ruins.
(dramatic music)
-(army cheering) -(metal clanking)
(cheering and clanking continue)
(army marches)
-The men? -Ready and willing.
I was expecting you earlier
when I heard about the attack on Mahishmati.
That was over a week ago.
I took a detour. A necessary one.
Now, see the gifts I brought you.
Behold!
The treasures of the Black Forge.
(exciting music)
(army marches)
(machine whirs)
(whirring continues)
(exciting music)
Hmm.
(clanks) You have done all I asked, my friend, and more.
The hinges need repair,
but this black armour is the best I have ever made.
Soon you will have the entire army clad in it.
They will be invulnerable.
Do not be boastful. Everything has a weakness.
Not this armour.
The armour was made using heat
much greater than even the fabled forges of Mahishmati.
That's the secret.
The greater the temperature required to melt the ore,
the stronger the final result.
You could not build a forge that hot.
(scoffs) It would destroy itself.
That's what is so marvellous!
I didn't need to build it.
The heat was provided by nature itself.
An endless supply! My furnace is the size of a mountain and--
Enough, Koteshwar.
We all know that you are a genius.
Katappa does not need to be bored by your cleverness.
With these new weapons, this armour and Katappa's tactics,
we shall crush Mahishmati once and for all.
We will show them that true power comes from strength.
From fist and sword,
from blood.
Besides, you can't kill a man who is already dead.
And everyone here died a long time ago.
-It is time for them to join us. -(footsteps fading)
"A furnace the size of a mountain"? (chuckles)
(clanks)
At last.
(footsteps approaching)
Magnificent, is it not?
I suppose.
(tense music)
Boy, this is a work of art.
No blade can penetrate it.
Do you know what they call
the one who cannot be killed on the battlefield?
A god.
And what do they call the one who saves lives?
(metal clanks)
You mourn Baahubali? I understand. So do I.
Prince Baahubali was noble, to be sure.
But look at the company he kept
and the corrupt society he propped up.
He was a fool to think
he could unify his people.
There is no equality in this life. Only the strong and the weak.
I owe him my life, Koteshwar.
The wolf guard would be dead if not for him.
Raktadeva would have just let us die.
-(dramatic music) -Is that what you believe?
Then you never truly learnt anything from me.
(stutters) I... I didn't mean it.
The boy meant no harm. We were just...
Come outside.
(footsteps approaching)
Put your helmet on.
Yes, sir.
So, Bhairav, you think I would have "just let you all die."
As if somehow I am the one who decides if you live, not you.
That helmet.
Its beauty is only surpassed by its strength.
Is that not so, Koteshwar?
It can take any hit.
It will keep him safe tomorrow.
That's good.
-But we should test it. -(sword swishes)
(sword swishes)
Hmm. Defend yourself.
-(swords clash) -What is the code of the wolf?
(sword clanks)
-(thud) -A wolf knows no fear, sir.
(swords clash)
-(Bhairav grunts) -(thud)
(Raktadeva grunts)
-(sword clanks) -Why do you wear the face of a wolf?
-So that my enemies... know fear. -(swords clash)
-(sword swishes) -(swords clash)
(Bhairav grunts)
(rumbling)
(dramatic music)
(swords clash)
Show me then, boy!
-Show me how you have no fear. -(swords clash)
-Show me that you are fear. -(swords clash)
-(Bhairav yelps) -(thud)
Stop this!
Get up! Get up and fight!
Rakta, it has gone too far. Stop this now.
Get up and fight!
-(swords clash) -(Bhairav yelps)
-(sword swishes) -(Bhairav screams)
(thud)
(spits) Pathetic.
Baahubali didn't save you.
You were just too weak to save yourself!
-(clanks) -(Bhairav groans)
You're okay, so. It's going to be fine.
(Raktadeva laughs)
Well, Koteshwar,
it looks like your armour is as good as you say it is.
I hate you. Hate you!
Good. Use this hatred.
Hate me so much
that no man is ever able to do this again to you.
Hate me so much that every drop of love
and compassion is torn from your heart,
and that only the wolf remains.
(footsteps fading)
(Bhairav pants)
(footsteps)
(fire crackles)
Look at them. Shaking like mice
that have seen a cobra enter their nest.
They are about to face their teacher, Bhalla.
We beat him once.
He will be twice as ready for this reason.
Should we surrender now? Save us tomorrow's carnage.
Hand over Mahishmati and take up our begging bowls.
Raktadeva does not want surrender.
He doesn't care about peace. He never did.
He is a fire that will burn the world down, unless we stop him.
-It needs to end here. -(sword swishes)
In tomorrow's battle...
we must kill Katappa.
(chuckles) Ha! Is that all?
I was planning to do that anyway.
No. He's better than either of us alone.
But both of us side by side...
It's a chance, Bhalla. The only one Mahishmati has.
(both) For Mahishmati!
(tense music)
-(bombs explode) -(soldiers scream)
(wolfmask grunts)
(swords clash)
-(machine whirs) -(soldiers groan)
-(bombs explode) -(soldiers scream)
(swords clash)
-(thud) -(soldier screams)
(soldier screams)
(flesh squelches)
(thud)
(soldier choking)
(neck cracks)
(thud)
-(sword clashes) -(thud)
(flesh squelches)
(swords clashing)
-Why is he holding back? -(soldiers scream)
This is our only chance. Come on, Bhalla. Where are you?
(soldiers scream)
-(thud) -(clanks)
(swords clash)
My lord! Your brother goes to face Katappa alone! He needs our help!
I will go. You lead the forces here.
As you command, my prince.
(intense music)
(footsteps approaching)
Why is he holding back?
We are on the verge of victory.
Look there!
-(footsteps approaching) -Oh! Of course.
He leaves the way open,
tempting Baahubali
to try and claim victory with a single kill.
Baahubali is alone. He will fall into Katappa's trap.
When he dies, their army will lose all morale.
Well done, Katappa! Your cunning rivals my own.
A teacher needs to deal with a wayward pupil.
Isn't that right, Bhairav?
(intense music)
(dramatic music)
-(soldier screams) -(thud)
-(soldier screams) -(flesh squelches)
(thud)
(dark music)
(sword clanks)
-(metal clanks) -(footsteps approaching)
Why?
I was born a slave, Baahu.
Following orders is my duty.
Whether they be right or wrong.
You follow a monster, Katappa.
All who enter the battlefield become monsters, Baahu.
All crowns are made of the blood of innocents,
-and war makes all men monsters. -(sword swishes)
But I still have one final lesson to teach you.
Oh? And what is that?
Never reveal your strategy
until the very, very last moment.
-(sword swishes) -(flesh squelches)
(thud)
-(footsteps approaching) -(wolfmasks scream)
(flesh squelches)
-(wolfmask screams) -(flesh squelches)
Maa.
It has to be. She planned this.
-(footsteps) -(soldier pants)
-(sword swishes) -(flesh squelches)
-(soldier groans) -(thud)
-(footsteps approaching) -(soldier pants)
Signal all battalions to retreat.
No. I won't help you, traitor.
Signal the full retreat. Now!
(soldier grunts)
(soldier 1 pants)
(soldier grunts)
(wind gusting)
(sword clashes)
(footsteps approaching)
(wolfmask 1) Run!
(wolfmask 2) But why? We're winning.
(wolfmask 1) The signal has been given, fool!
Mahishmati must have reinforcements coming!
If we don't run now, we'll be slaughtered. Come on!
(wolfmask 2) But...
(footsteps)
The centre is collapsing. We must go!
We must save what we can before the entire army is destroyed!
(wind gusting)
(Raktadeva screams)
(footsteps approaching)
It is over, Raktadeva.
You have lost.
I gave you freedom, Katappa.
But all you crave is a master's leash.
You are a dog who deserves the life you have.
(intense music)
And you, Baahubali.
Kill me, and another will take my place.
You can't stop an idea.
You speak of a better world.
Yet, you are the one to bring children to a battlefield.
(Bhairav) I am no one's child.
I am a wolf, and you'd do best to remember that.
When the rot is too deep, prince...
-it must be burned! -(clanks)
(liquid oozing)
(dramatic music)
-(footsteps approaching) -(gulping)
Look who we found hiding amongst the wreckage.
I was not hiding. I was carrying out repairs.
My beautiful creations. Look at them now.
-(Koteshwar pants) -(Bhallaladeva grunts)
Your weapons killed hundreds of my men.
Tell me why I should not use them on you.
Because Maa still needs him alive.
(footsteps approaching)
Doesn't she, Katappa?
This was all about the Black Forge, wasn't it?
She knew that, till the Black Forge was in the hands of Raktadeva,
it would spell danger for us.
Rajmata tasked me with finding it.
No matter what the cost
I was to gain Raktadeva's trust and find its location.
But if we could gain control of this forge,
it would go far in protecting Mahishmati for generations.
And their maker...
is a valuable asset to our kingdom.
Hmm.
She banished you knowing that the Demon Lord would recruit you.
-(footsteps approaching) -Use you against us.
Many of our own people died against you.
Against him. How could she allow this?
Your mother had to make the hard choice, Baahu.
The Black Forge is too great a danger in the hands of Raktadeva.
Do what you will.
I will never tell you where it is, no matter how you torture me.
(Katappa laughs)
But you already have, Koteshwar.
What was it you said?
(footsteps approaching)
(Katappa) "A furnace the size of a mountain." Hmm.
(thunders)
(crickets chirping)
(dark music)
-(sword swishes) -(rock shatters)
(thwacks)
(thwacking continues)
Betrayed!
My lord!
(cracks)
You think you have won? You have no idea.
(thunders)
(stones rumbling)
Come then, Baahubali.
Bring your traitor,
bring our brother, bring everyone.
Tell me, my wolf. How fares our army?
See for yourself.
(door creaks)
(Bhairav) The army of the Black Forge is ready!
(army marches)
