0:01:05 > 0:01:08'Long ago, in a land far away,
0:01:08 > 0:01:13'there once rose an empire that stretched from the steppes of China
0:01:13 > 0:01:15'to the shores of the Mediterranean.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20'That empire was Persia.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25'Fierce in battle, wise in victory,

0:01:30 > 0:01:35'The Persian king, Sharaman, ruled with his brother, Nizam,

0:01:40 > 0:01:43'The King had two sons who gave him great joy...'
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Rejoice!
0:01:45 > 0:01:46'..but in the eyes of the gods,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49'the King's family was not yet complete...
0:01:51 > 0:01:55'..not until the day he witnessed a single act of courage
0:01:55 > 0:01:58'by an orphan boy from the streets of Nasaf.'

0:04:44 > 0:04:47The fabled Alamut. Even more stunning than I'd imagined.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Don't be fooled by beauty, Prince Tus. It's a city like any other.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Soft countries make soft men.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53They stoop to treachery and now must pay for it.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56My father's made clear Alamut's not to be touched.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- Some consider it sacred. - (SCOFFS)
0:04:58 > 0:05:02But since our wise father isn't here, the decision rests with me.

0:05:16 > 0:05:17This is embarrassing!
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- Why don't you give it a try? - Get in there!
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Is that all you got?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Prince Dastan!

0:05:36 > 0:05:38- (CROWD LAUGHING) - Your Highness, please.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Prince Tus has convened a war council.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I'm on my way.
0:05:45 > 0:05:51Our finest spy intercepted a caravan leaving Alamut.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Swords of the best workmanship.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Steel-tipped arrows.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02And promise of payment from the warlord Kosh to Alamut.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05They're selling weapons to our enemies, Dastan.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08An arrow such as this slew my horse in Koshkhan.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Blood will run in Alamut's streets for this.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Or our soldiers will fall from its walls.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Our orders were to subdue Koshkhan, not to attack Alamut.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Wise words, little brother.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Words won't stop our enemies
0:06:20 > 0:06:23once they're armed with Alamutian blades.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39We attack at dawn.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Well, if that's your decision, then let me go in first.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45(LAUGHING)
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Thoughts to share, Garsiv?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I ride at the head of the Persian army.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Dastan leads a company of street rabble.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53They may not be much for manners, but they're pretty handy in a fight.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56The honour of first blood should be mine.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Garsiv, your hand is on your sword again.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Where it should be! - Oh, my brothers!
0:07:00 > 0:07:01(LAUGHING)
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Ever eager.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08It's said the princess of Alamut is a beauty without equal.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11We'll march into her palace and see for ourselves.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12(LAUGHING)
0:07:14 > 0:07:17(SOFTLY) There can be no doubt of your courage, Dastan.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19But you're not ready for this.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Garsiv's cavalry will lead the way.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Princess Tamina.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43The Persian army, my princess, has not moved on.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Their faith has little love for any truth
0:07:48 > 0:07:49other than its own.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Perhaps it would be safer
0:07:51 > 0:07:52if you didn't stand so close.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Whatever their faith, their bows aren't that strong.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Nor is their aim.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Gather the council.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Tell them I sit in the High Temple. I must pray.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06The High Temple?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Alamut hasn't been breached in a thousand years.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Everything changes with time.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13We should know this best of all.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Remind me why we're disobeying your brother's orders?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Because Garsiv only knows how to attack head-on.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26It'll be a massacre.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29The Alamutians will be busy with the main gate,
0:08:29 > 0:08:30so we'll slip through the side.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Have you been drinking?
0:09:39 > 0:09:40(WHISPERING) That's our way in.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43There are two gates. The outer one's easy.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46It's the inner gate that's impossible.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49That gate mechanism is protected by two manned guard towers.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Yeah, well, there's always a way in, Bis.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53You take care of the outer gate,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55you leave the impossible one to me.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57You know, sire, you won't be happy till you get us all killed.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Ooh! Wonderful speech, Bis. Rousing.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45(MEN EXCLAIMING)
0:16:48 > 0:16:51So, for once, the stories are true.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53(MEN LAUGHING)
0:16:53 > 0:16:56We know you secretly build weapons for enemies of Persia.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- Now show us where. - We have no forges here.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02And what weapons we had, you overcame.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Our spies say differently.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10- Hey, the Lion of Persia! - The Lion of Persia!
0:18:10 > 0:18:12They're calling you the Lion of Persia.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17You've never excelled at following orders, Dastan.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- I have some explaining to do, Tus. I...- No.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21No.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22(LAUGHING)
0:18:22 > 0:18:25No! We have some celebrating to do.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27There is, however, tradition.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Since you took the honour of first assault,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32you owe me a gift of homage.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35A beautiful dagger.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37He delivered you the city and its princess.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- I think that's homage enough. - I suppose it is.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42First dispatch has just arrived, my prince.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Wonderful news.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Your father has interrupted his prayers at the eastern palace to join us.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52No doubt to commend us on our great victory.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53(CHUCKLES)
0:19:10 > 0:19:13We had indications Alamut was arming our enemies.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Indications?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17You've got to have more than indications
0:19:17 > 0:19:21to occupy a holy city with my troops!
0:19:21 > 0:19:24This... (TUTS) ..adventure
0:19:24 > 0:19:26won't sit with our allies.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Oh, but I suppose you didn't take that into account.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Don't look to your uncle, boy.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36The decision, and its consequences, rest with me.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46I know you're eager to wear the crown,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48but trust me when I tell you you're not yet ready.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57No man would know better than you, Father.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Because your trust is something I deeply cherish,
0:20:04 > 0:20:07I will oversee the search for weapons myself.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11I vow I will not stand before you until I hold proof of Alamut's treachery.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35(CROWD CLAMOURING)
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- (GROANS) - Whoa!
0:20:40 > 0:20:43The third step is the hardest!
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Brother! Brother!
0:20:47 > 0:20:50We've uncovered signs of tunnels on the eastern edge of the city.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- Oh!- I'm on my way there now.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Oh, but you'll miss the banquet!
0:20:54 > 0:20:57You and Garsiv can handle Father in my absence.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- You do have a gift to honour him with?- Of course!
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- Bis, gift!- What?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07It's been momentarily misplaced.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11I knew you'd forget. The prayer robe of Alamut's Regent.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15The holiest in the eastern lands. A gift the King will appreciate.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20You fought like a champion for me, Dastan. Glad to return the favour.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25A rare jewel.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Present her to the King for me this evening, Dastan.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Sure you really want another wife, brother?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Listen to me, Dastan.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39A marriage to the Princess assures me the loyalty of her people.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Unbound to us, she's a dangerous liability.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45If Father doesn't approve our union,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I want you to end her life with your own hand.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59So, I'm escorted by Prince Dastan,
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- the Lion of Persia.- Mmm.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Must feel wonderful winning such acclaim
0:22:03 > 0:22:05for destroying such an innocent city.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Ah! A pleasure to meet you, too, Princess.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11And allow me to offer that if punishing the enemies of my king is a crime,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13then it's one I'll gladly repeat.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Then you are a true prince of Persia.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Brutal, without honour.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Don't make the mistake of thinking you know me, Princess.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Oh! And what more is there?
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Wait here with Her Highness.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27If you can manage it...
0:22:29 > 0:22:33..I suggest a hint of humility when you're presented to the King,
0:22:33 > 0:22:34for your own good.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39(FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYING)
0:22:44 > 0:22:46You've eased Father's anger, Uncle.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51One day, you'll have the pleasure of being brother to the King, Dastan.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54As long as you remember your most important duty, you should do well.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Oh? And what's that?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Making sure his wine glass stays full.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03I'm told that another of my sons has joined the rank
0:23:03 > 0:23:05of great Persian warriors.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07(ALL CHEERING)
0:23:13 > 0:23:14We missed you, Father.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19I was praying for you and your brothers, Dastan.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25The bond between brothers, that is the sword
0:23:25 > 0:23:27that defends our empire.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30And I pray that that sword remains strong.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37I was hoping my actions would spare our men unnecessary losses.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42A good man would've done as you did, Dastan,
0:23:42 > 0:23:47acting boldly and courageously to bring a victory and spare lives.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50But a great man would've stopped the attack
0:23:50 > 0:23:53from happening at all. A great man
0:23:53 > 0:23:56would've stopped what he knew to be wrong...
0:23:57 > 0:23:59..no matter who was ordering it.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02The boy I saw in that square...
0:24:04 > 0:24:07..was capable of being more than just good,
0:24:07 > 0:24:09but of being great.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13It is my deepest wish that this win your approval.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19In all of my travels...
0:25:20 > 0:25:24I have never looked upon a more beautiful city, Your Highness.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28You should have seen it before your horde of camel-riding illiterates
0:25:28 > 0:25:29descended upon it.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32(ALL MURMURING SOFTLY)
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Clearly she will make a fine queen.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37(ALL LAUGHING)
0:25:37 > 0:25:42But Tus already has enough wives.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45You, Dastan, might take fewer chances
0:25:45 > 0:25:49if such a jewel waited in your chambers.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52The Princess of Alamut will be your first wife.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55(ALL CHEERING)
0:25:58 > 0:26:00What say you, Dastan?
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Uh...
0:26:01 > 0:26:04He plunges into a hundred foes without thought,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07but before marriage he stands frozen with fear.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10And there are those who say he is not yet wise.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- (ALL LAUGHING) - I need a drink.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14(ROBE SIZZLING)
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Aggh! Aggh! Aggh!
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Stand aside! Out of my way!
0:26:26 > 0:26:27(SCREAMS)
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Father.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33God help us! The robe is poisoned!
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Somebody help him!
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- The robe Dastan gave him!- Why?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- Somebody help him! - Seize the murderer!
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Somebody help him! - My prince, save yourself!
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Seize him!
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Move!
0:26:50 > 0:26:51(SHOUTING)
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Bis!
0:26:52 > 0:26:53(SCREAMING)
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- (SCREAMING)- Bis!
0:26:55 > 0:26:56Come with me!
0:26:59 > 0:27:00(GROANING WEAKLY)
0:27:01 > 0:27:02(GRUNTING)
0:27:02 > 0:27:03(SCREAMING)
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- What do you think you're doing? - I can get us out of here.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11You're going to need my help.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13(GRUNTING)
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Come on!
0:27:27 > 0:27:28- Close the gate!- That way!
0:27:29 > 0:27:30(URGING HORSE)
0:27:30 > 0:27:31Oh!
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Close the gate!
0:27:36 > 0:27:37Get down!
0:27:41 > 0:27:43There! After the murderer!
0:27:43 > 0:27:45He's on my horse! He stole my horse!
0:27:48 > 0:27:49(SHOUTS) Aksh, come on!
0:27:54 > 0:27:56My loyal subjects,
0:27:56 > 0:28:00the whole world grieves at the death of our beloved king.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02We are all stricken by his loss.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04That the murder came at Prince Dastan's hand
0:28:04 > 0:28:07only makes our pain worse.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09I didn't murder my father.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11That robe was given to me by my brother.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Tus did this.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14And now he stands to be crowned king.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19I didn't kill my father.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23I believe you.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26You shouldn't be here. I shouldn't have let you come.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28But you did.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35I promised my brother I'd kill you if he couldn't have you.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Well, the solution would be to kiss me...
0:28:41 > 0:28:43..and then kill me.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44(WHISPERING) But I have a better solution.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50(SHOUTING) I kill you,
0:28:50 > 0:28:52and your problems are solved!
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Perhaps we can find another solution.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58(WHISTLES)
0:29:08 > 0:29:10(SHRIEKING IN RAGE)
0:29:32 > 0:29:36Well, the solution would be to kiss me, then kill me.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37But I have a better solution.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- No.- I kill you!
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Give back what you stole, Persian!
0:29:53 > 0:29:54Don't!
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- Did you see that?- See what?
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Go for that sword again, and I swear I'll break your arm.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Again?
0:30:18 > 0:30:20You've used up all the sand!
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- What?- Agh!
0:30:22 > 0:30:23What is this?
0:30:26 > 0:30:28(WHISPERING) Incredible.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Releasing the sand...
0:30:32 > 0:30:33..turns back time.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39And only the holder of the dagger is aware of what's happened.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44He can go back and alter events, change time,
0:30:44 > 0:30:46and no-one knows but him.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51How much can it unwind?
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- Answer me, Princess. - You destroyed my city!
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Our invasion wasn't about weapon forges.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59It was about this dagger.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04After the battle, Tus asked for this dagger as tribute.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06I didn't think anything of it, but now I see.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07With it he could change anything.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09He could change the course of a critical moment in battle.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12He could foresee the blade of a rival.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15He wouldn't just be king, he'd be the most powerful ruler Persia's ever seen.
0:31:15 > 0:31:16Greater even than my father.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18It was all about this dagger!
0:31:18 > 0:31:22'My treacherous brother must be brought to justice,
0:31:22 > 0:31:25'and as such, I have doubled the reward for his capture.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28'Meanwhile, I shall strive to protect our empire,
0:31:28 > 0:31:31'as my father would have demanded.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32A new reign has begun.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36- What are you doing? - Garsiv can't be far behind us.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39And Aksh is the most famous horse in the empire.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- This will obscure his tracks. - Tracks where? Where are you going?
0:31:42 > 0:31:44To Avrat, where my father will be buried.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45You're wanted for the King's murder
0:31:45 > 0:31:46and you're going to march into his funeral
0:31:46 > 0:31:49alongside thousands of Persian soldiers?
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Well, Nizam will be there. He's the only one I can trust.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54He'll see I was set up by Tus.
0:31:54 > 0:31:55Step aside, Princess.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Every road to Avrat will be covered with Persian troops.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00I'm not taking roads. I'm going through the Valley of the Slaves.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01No one goes near that wasteland.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02It's filled with murdering cutthroats.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03So they say.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- Your whole plan is suicide! - My brother murdered my father
0:32:06 > 0:32:09and left his blood on my hands. If I die trying to set that right,
0:32:09 > 0:32:10then so be it.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12(SHOUTS)
0:32:12 > 0:32:16So you're going to leave me here in the middle of nowhere?
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Noble Dastan, abandoning a helpless woman in the wilderness!
0:32:19 > 0:32:22What does your precious honour have to say about that?
0:32:23 > 0:32:25(GROANS)
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Give me the strength not to kill her.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Mount up. We can't be far behind him.
0:32:42 > 0:32:43(SCOFFS)
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Without the right sand, it's just another knife.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Not even very sharp.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53This sand, is there more of it?
0:32:53 > 0:32:54Of course not.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Well, how can I get some?
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Try standing on your head and holding your breath.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10See what you were looking for, Prince?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Start walking.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13(EXHALES)
0:33:19 > 0:33:22If you can't prove to your uncle how the dagger works,
0:33:22 > 0:33:24why in the world would he believe you?
0:33:24 > 0:33:26It's not your problem, Princess.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29You know, you really walk like one.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34Head held high, chest out, long, stomping strides.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37The walk of a self-satisfied Persian prince.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39No doubt it comes from being told since birth the world is yours...
0:33:39 > 0:33:41(SCOFFS) ..and actually believing it.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43I wasn't born in a palace like you.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45I was born in the slums of Nasaf,
0:33:45 > 0:33:48where I lived if I fought and I clawed for it.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Then how did you become a prince?
0:33:50 > 0:33:55The King marched into the market one day, and he...
0:33:55 > 0:33:56I don't know. He...
0:33:57 > 0:33:59He found me.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04He took me in. He gave me a family. He gave me a home.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13What you're looking at
0:34:13 > 0:34:16is the walk of a man who just lost everything.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Welcome to the Valley of the Slaves, Your Highness.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33I'm desperate for a drop of water.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37That's more than we have, since you emptied our canteen hours ago.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39I wasn't born of this desert like you Persians,
0:34:39 > 0:34:41all shrivelled and angry.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46My constitution is much more delicate.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48I think you mean "spoiled".
0:34:48 > 0:34:52The wells of Alamut are famed for their clean, cold water.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Perhaps less time admiring your wells and more time guarding your walls,
0:34:56 > 0:34:58and you wouldn't be here.
0:34:58 > 0:34:59(LAUGHS)
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Ah! A miracle!
0:35:04 > 0:35:06I've silenced the Princess!
0:35:08 > 0:35:09Tamina?
0:35:11 > 0:35:12Tamina?
0:35:15 > 0:35:16Can you hear me?
0:35:16 > 0:35:17(GRUNTS)
0:35:17 > 0:35:18(GROANING)
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Yes, Dastan, I can hear you.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28(HORSES NEIGHING)
0:35:33 > 0:35:35(MAN UNSHEATHES BLADE)
0:35:35 > 0:35:36(GASPS)
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Do you know where you are, Persian?
0:35:43 > 0:35:44(LAUGHING)
0:35:44 > 0:35:47And yet you enter still?
0:35:47 > 0:35:49In the heart of Sudan, there is a tribe of warriors
0:35:49 > 0:35:50known as the Ngbaka.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53They strike fear into the hearts of all they cross.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56The Ngbaka are masters of the throwing knife,
0:35:56 > 0:36:01wielding blades said to have been blessed by the Creator himself.
0:36:01 > 0:36:06Their aim is so murderously accurate they can decapitate three men
0:36:06 > 0:36:07with one strike.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13Oh, I wouldn't even bother doing that if I were you. Do you know why?
0:36:13 > 0:36:17This is Seso. He's a Ngbaka.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19I had the good fortune of saving his life,
0:36:19 > 0:36:22which means that he is now enduringly indebted to me.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25So tell me, Persian,
0:36:25 > 0:36:28is there any good reason why I shouldn't tell Seso
0:36:28 > 0:36:31to put his next throw just a little higher?
0:36:43 > 0:36:44(HORSES APPROACHING)
0:36:51 > 0:36:52(MEN UNSHEATHING BLADES)
0:36:52 > 0:36:53(GASPS)
0:37:08 > 0:37:11So! This is the one, eh?
0:37:11 > 0:37:15(LAUGHING) Yes! You were right. She's not bad.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Oh! She could smell a bit better, though.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Still, we have a deal.
0:37:25 > 0:37:26Clever princess.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Deal? What deal?
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- Such a noble prince! - Such a gentle princess!
0:37:34 > 0:37:36How taken you were with my fainting act,
0:37:36 > 0:37:39eagerly leaping to assist the fallen beauty.
0:37:39 > 0:37:40(LAUGHING) Who said you were a beauty?
0:37:40 > 0:37:43There must be a reason why you can't take your eyes off me.
0:37:43 > 0:37:44(STAMMERING)
0:37:44 > 0:37:45I...
0:37:45 > 0:37:47I don't trust you.
0:37:47 > 0:37:48- And you're not my type.- Ha!
0:37:48 > 0:37:50I'm not some desperate slave girl.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52I'm actually capable of voicing my own thoughts!
0:37:52 > 0:37:53Yeah, too many for my taste!
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Oh, yeah. She'll make a very nice addition.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59What do you intend to do with her?
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Yes, do tell him. Can't you see how concerned he is?
0:38:02 > 0:38:04(LAUGHING)
0:38:04 > 0:38:05- Give me a moment.- Yeah.
0:38:08 > 0:38:09It's hard for me to admit...
0:38:11 > 0:38:12..but you were right.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16I did see what I was looking for.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Dastan, listen to me.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22When my uncle sees the power of this dagger, he'll believe me.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27Dastan, I know I haven't been entirely honest with you.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Oh, but your lies are so clever.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31I am the guardian of a divine covenant.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- That dagger is sacred.- Oh! Well...
0:38:33 > 0:38:35It was being smuggled to safety when you stole it.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36If the dagger gets into the wrong hands...
0:38:36 > 0:38:38I will take care of your knife.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40You won't want to miss this.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42You don't understand what's at stake!
0:38:42 > 0:38:45This is a matter for the gods, not man!
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- Your gods, not mine.- Come on!
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Come on!
0:38:52 > 0:38:54(CROWD CHEERING)
0:39:03 > 0:39:07- Ostrich racing? - Yeah. Every Tuesday and Thursday.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11Whatever they lack in beauty, they make up for in fighting spirit.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13(CHUCKLING)
0:39:13 > 0:39:15And the races are easy to fix.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17I've heard all these terrible stories of this place.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21(LAUGHING) The bloodthirsty slaves murdering their masters?
0:39:21 > 0:39:24That's a good story. It's well-told, ever-evolving.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25Yeah, but, alas, untrue.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27But the skeletons that we saw at the front...
0:39:27 > 0:39:29I bought those from a gypsy in Bukhara.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32I crafted our lurid reputation
0:39:32 > 0:39:35in order to fend off the most insidious evil
0:39:35 > 0:39:37that's been lurking this forsaken country of ours.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39You know what I'm talking about?
0:39:39 > 0:39:40Taxes.
0:39:40 > 0:39:41(SPITS)
0:39:41 > 0:39:43And all these Persians
0:39:43 > 0:39:45with their armies, their fortresses, their roads.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49Who pays for it all, eh? The small businessman!
0:39:49 > 0:39:51See, that's why I started a little campaign
0:39:51 > 0:39:54to spread some false notoriety.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58I spread it like a venerable disease in a Turkish harem.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00(HORN BLARING)
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Behold the mighty ostrich!

0:40:33 > 0:40:35Oh, I love this!
0:40:36 > 0:40:41And the tax collectors steer clear of me and my customers.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Everybody's happy.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45- Uh...- Hey! Get the girls on!
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Get the girls on! Come on! Crowd control!
0:40:47 > 0:40:50(MEN WHISTLING)

0:40:54 > 0:40:56If you drop anything, you pay for it! It's out of your wages!
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Now, don't look at me like that. You know what I'm talking about!
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Do your job! Crowd control! Thank you!
0:41:02 > 0:41:05You know, I think our little arrangement is going to work out very well, young man.
0:41:07 > 0:41:08Agh!
0:41:08 > 0:41:09- Don't touch! - (LAUGHING)
0:41:09 > 0:41:12She's a lively one! Where did you find her?
0:41:14 > 0:41:15In the slave markets of Lur.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18I was headed to Iraq to trade her for a camel
0:41:18 > 0:41:19- when she attacked me.- Mmm.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Mmm. The camels are safer.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Noble Sheikh Amar, I appreciate your hospitality.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26You run a fine establishment,
0:41:26 > 0:41:27but if you could give me the supplies that we...
0:41:27 > 0:41:29You know something, Persian?
0:41:29 > 0:41:32You bear a remarkable resemblance to the disgraced prince
0:41:32 > 0:41:35who fled after murdering the King.
0:41:42 > 0:41:43Whoa.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Have I told you about the Ngbaka?
0:41:48 > 0:41:51- Yes, you have.- Yeah. Nothing beats a good story, eh?
0:41:51 > 0:41:53But yours, however, trading her in for a camel?
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Please! I mean, look at her. She's worth at least two.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59And as for you, young man,
0:41:59 > 0:42:01did you know your brother's offered a reward for you
0:42:01 > 0:42:04which, quite frankly, between you and me, borders on the obscene?
0:42:04 > 0:42:07I'd trade in my own mother for that kind of gold.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10What? You didn't know what she was like.
0:42:10 > 0:42:11Take him down to the Persian outpost.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Wait, wait, wait. Look. That...
0:42:18 > 0:42:20- Nice knife.- Hey, hey, hey, hey. - It's nothing.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24- No, look, that's worthless!- Really?
0:42:26 > 0:42:27Melt it down for the jewels.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37(OSTRICHES SQUAWKING)
0:42:43 > 0:42:44Oh!
0:42:49 > 0:42:51- Whoa!- What's the boy doing?
0:42:53 > 0:42:55No, you might kill a bird!
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Hey! Over here!
0:43:03 > 0:43:05(ALL CLAMOURING)
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Whoa, whoa! I wouldn't do that if I were you!
0:43:12 > 0:43:13Get to the tunnel!
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Oh, look at this! That's it!
0:43:17 > 0:43:20No more fermented goat's milk after the third race! You hear me?
0:43:20 > 0:43:21Get after him! Come on!
0:43:21 > 0:43:22- The gate!- Get him!
0:43:23 > 0:43:25Stop!
0:43:30 > 0:43:31Lift the lever! It'll open the gate!
0:43:31 > 0:43:33- Give me the dagger!- What? You're...
0:43:33 > 0:43:34This is not the time! Just lift that lever!
0:43:34 > 0:43:35Give me the dagger!

0:43:40 > 0:43:42Don't think it didn't cross my mind.
0:43:47 > 0:43:48Move, Princess!

0:44:03 > 0:44:05Looking for this? Key? Huh?
0:44:07 > 0:44:09Oops!
0:44:09 > 0:44:10Next time, you!
0:44:10 > 0:44:11(YELLS)
0:44:20 > 0:44:22They've all come for my father's funeral.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35There are 100 Persian soldiers watching that gate.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38Maybe more. If you want to stay close to this dagger,
0:44:38 > 0:44:40you're going to have to help me into Avrat.
0:44:45 > 0:44:47All these foreign dignitaries,
0:44:47 > 0:44:49I'm guessing you know a few.
0:45:05 > 0:45:08Couldn't you have found somebody lighter?
0:45:08 > 0:45:10The Mughals of the Hindu Kush are a noble people.
0:45:10 > 0:45:13You should be honoured.
0:45:13 > 0:45:14Oh, yes. Terribly.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24Dastan, where's the dagger?
0:45:24 > 0:45:26You're welcome to search me for it.
0:45:26 > 0:45:28You'll have to be very thorough.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43Tus isn't here. He must still be in Alamut.
0:45:45 > 0:45:46The sand that fuels the dagger,
0:45:46 > 0:45:48there's more of it hidden somewhere in Alamut, isn't there?
0:45:50 > 0:45:51That's why Tus stays there.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54That's what he's got our army searching for.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56I have to get a message to my uncle to meet me.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58That's impossible.
0:46:57 > 0:46:58Difficult, not impossible.
0:46:58 > 0:46:59Or more proof you're insane.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02Then why do you look so impressed?
0:47:02 > 0:47:04Out of the way! Make way!
0:47:04 > 0:47:05- Oh!- Oh!
0:47:08 > 0:47:10- Turn around.- What?
0:47:10 > 0:47:11Turn around!
0:47:22 > 0:47:25You used to buy those for me when I was a boy.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27You used to spit the seeds at Garsiv.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31You should not have brought me here, Dastan.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33I had no choice, Uncle.
0:47:33 > 0:47:34Follow me.
0:47:55 > 0:47:57I didn't kill Father.
0:47:57 > 0:47:59You know I would never do such a thing.
0:47:59 > 0:48:02Your actions speak otherwise.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04But I had no choice but to flee.
0:48:05 > 0:48:07Tus gave me that cloak.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09- He was the one who poisoned it. - Dastan.
0:48:09 > 0:48:10Well, he's not here, is he?
0:48:10 > 0:48:12At his father's funeral. Instead, he remains in Alamut.
0:48:12 > 0:48:15Our allies will see our invasion was just.
0:48:15 > 0:48:17The search for Alamut's weapons forges is important.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20Yes, but not if there are none.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22The invasion of Alamut was a lie.
0:48:22 > 0:48:25Tus is after power. That's why he murdered Father.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27And now he searches not for weapons,
0:48:27 > 0:48:31but for the sand that fuels a mystical device.
0:48:31 > 0:48:34This is why you brought me here, Dastan? Mystical devices?
0:48:34 > 0:48:35Do you remember, after the battle,
0:48:35 > 0:48:37you stopped Tus from taking the dagger I'd won?
0:48:37 > 0:48:38Mm-hm.
0:48:38 > 0:48:41That dagger is the reason he invaded Alamut.
0:48:42 > 0:48:45This dagger, you have it with you?
0:48:48 > 0:48:49Yes.
0:48:55 > 0:48:56It has incredible powers.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02Is this some sort of a joke, Dastan?
0:49:04 > 0:49:06What? No, it was in there.
0:49:07 > 0:49:08Then where's your so-called evidence?
0:49:10 > 0:49:12Tamina.
0:49:12 > 0:49:13I...
0:49:14 > 0:49:18(STAMMERING)
0:49:20 > 0:49:22Your hands are burned.
0:49:22 > 0:49:23Yes.
0:49:24 > 0:49:27From trying to pull the poisoned cloak off your father.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32- Is something wrong, Dastan?- No, no.
0:49:32 > 0:49:34You're certain? You know you can trust me, boy.
0:49:38 > 0:49:39It's just that, er...
0:49:41 > 0:49:43Tus is my brother.
0:49:43 > 0:49:45How could he betray me like this?
0:49:45 > 0:49:47I can't say, Dastan. Perhaps he...
0:49:48 > 0:49:49..never respected you as you deserve,
0:49:49 > 0:49:51only saw you as someone he could use.
0:49:51 > 0:49:53Someone to keep his wine glass filled?
0:49:53 > 0:49:55My service to your father was different.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58We shared the same blood, Dastan.
0:49:58 > 0:50:02How many times did Father speak of you saving him from that lion?
0:50:03 > 0:50:06- That was his favourite story. - One of many, yes.
0:50:06 > 0:50:07- (CEILING CREAKING) - No, that was his favourite.
0:50:07 > 0:50:10I'm afraid you're speaking in riddles, Dastan.
0:50:13 > 0:50:14Wait! Dastan!
0:50:17 > 0:50:18(CROWD CLAMOURING)
0:50:45 > 0:50:46Over here!

0:54:26 > 0:54:28Your Majesty.
0:54:28 > 0:54:30I thought you were staying in Alamut.
0:54:30 > 0:54:32Tell me about Dastan, Uncle.
0:54:33 > 0:54:36Dastan came to Avrat to kill me.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38In the marketplace. I just got away.
0:54:39 > 0:54:43Tus, my death would weaken your young reign.
0:54:44 > 0:54:46Dastan hopes to stir a rebellion.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48- He wants the throne? - I fear so, my lord.
0:54:53 > 0:54:56Putting Dastan on trial would only give him a stage for his sedition.
0:54:56 > 0:55:01My advice would be to avoid a trial.
0:55:01 > 0:55:03Don't bring him back to Nasaf alive.
0:55:13 > 0:55:15Whatever Dastan's crimes,
0:55:15 > 0:55:19a public trial will best communicate the king I hope to be.
0:55:19 > 0:55:21Strong, honouring the rule of law.
0:55:23 > 0:55:25We are not savages.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28You grow more a king every day.
0:55:28 > 0:55:31Dastan must be found. He must be brought to justice.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42I need to speak with our guests.
0:55:42 > 0:55:45Oh, about them, my lord. Their practises are unusual.
0:55:45 > 0:55:48The servants have seen things, heard strange sounds.
0:55:48 > 0:55:51Last week, one of the horses vanished.
0:55:51 > 0:55:53Well, just make sure the servants keep their mouths shut.
0:55:53 > 0:55:55Or I promise you...
0:55:57 > 0:55:58..they will vanish, as well.
0:57:00 > 0:57:02I have another task for you, Hassansin,
0:57:02 > 0:57:04but you'll have to be quick. Your prey has a head start.
0:57:04 > 0:57:06You brought what I requested?
0:57:16 > 0:57:19These practices, they don't interfere with your skills?
0:57:19 > 0:57:21In the trance we can see visions of our future.
0:57:22 > 0:57:23Visions of death.
0:57:26 > 0:57:27A destiny...
0:57:28 > 0:57:29..and a curse.
0:57:36 > 0:57:38In that trance, we can find anything,
0:57:38 > 0:57:41including your nephew, Prince Dastan.
0:57:41 > 0:57:43Then I hope you shall see more death...

0:58:36 > 0:58:38What aren't you telling me?
0:58:40 > 0:58:42The tribesmen left.
0:58:42 > 0:58:45Maybe they tired of your penchant for lies and backstabbing.
0:58:45 > 0:58:47I had no choice but to leave you.
0:58:47 > 0:58:50I take it your uncle didn't listen.
0:58:50 > 0:58:53It wasn't Tus that killed my father. It was Nizam.
0:58:54 > 0:58:57- Your uncle?- His hands were burned.
0:58:57 > 0:59:00He said it happened trying to pull off the cloak that killed my father.
0:59:00 > 0:59:01I've gone over and over it in my mind.
0:59:01 > 0:59:04He never touched the cloak. He must have handled it before.
0:59:06 > 0:59:08It was Nizam who poisoned it.
0:59:09 > 0:59:12What good does turning back a few moments of time do my uncle?
0:59:12 > 0:59:14None.
0:59:14 > 0:59:17He murdered my father for more than just a dagger.
0:59:17 > 0:59:18What aren't you telling me?
0:59:18 > 0:59:21You know, you've got quick hands.
0:59:21 > 0:59:22But so do I.
0:59:22 > 0:59:25If you want it back, you tell me everything.
0:59:25 > 0:59:27No more games, no more lies.
0:59:37 > 0:59:40Can we get out of here?
0:59:40 > 0:59:41(HORSE NEIGHING)
0:59:45 > 0:59:49Only a princess would think she could outrun a sandstorm.
0:59:54 > 0:59:57Nizam's coming to kill us. He needs me dead.
0:59:59 > 1:00:00I need to know why.
1:00:05 > 1:00:08In Alamut rests the beating heart of all life on Earth...
1:00:10 > 1:00:12..the Sandglass of the Gods.
1:00:13 > 1:00:15Long ago, the gods looked down on man
1:00:15 > 1:00:18and saw nothing but greed and treachery.
1:00:18 > 1:00:21And so they sent a great sandstorm to destroy all,
1:00:21 > 1:00:24wipe clean the face of the Earth.
1:00:24 > 1:00:28But one young girl begged the gods to give mankind another chance,
1:00:28 > 1:00:31offering her life in exchange.
1:00:31 > 1:00:33Seeing the purity within,
1:00:33 > 1:00:37the gods were reminded of man's potential for good.
1:00:37 > 1:00:40And so they swept the sands into the Sandglass.
1:00:40 > 1:00:41(HORSE NEIGHING)
1:00:41 > 1:00:44Ssshh!
1:00:55 > 1:00:58The dagger was given to the girl who saved man...
1:00:59 > 1:01:01..making her the first Guardian.
1:01:01 > 1:01:04The dagger blade is the only thing that can pierce the Sandglass
1:01:04 > 1:01:06and remove the Sands of Time,
1:01:06 > 1:01:09but the handle only holds one minute.
1:01:09 > 1:01:11What if one were to place the dagger in the Sandglass
1:01:11 > 1:01:13and press the jewel button at the same time?
1:01:13 > 1:01:15Sand would flow through endlessly.
1:01:15 > 1:01:16You could turn back time as far as you like.
1:01:16 > 1:01:18Yes, but it is forbidden.
1:01:25 > 1:01:28When my father was a boy,
1:01:28 > 1:01:30Nizam saved his life hunting.
1:01:31 > 1:01:35One day, the two princes were stalking a beautiful buck.
1:01:35 > 1:01:38But they were unaware of a lioness stalking them.
1:01:38 > 1:01:40Nizam saved Sharaman.
1:01:40 > 1:01:43My father told us the story over and over again.
1:01:43 > 1:01:45I don't understand.
1:01:46 > 1:01:49Nizam wishes to go back in time and undo what he did.
1:01:49 > 1:01:52Not save my father. Let him die.
1:01:52 > 1:01:54Then he would be king for a lifetime...
1:01:56 > 1:01:57..and my brothers would never be born.
1:02:04 > 1:02:06Storm's passed.
1:02:33 > 1:02:37Dastan, the sands contained within the Sandglass are incredibly powerful.
1:02:41 > 1:02:44Opening the dagger while it's inside the glass breaks the seal.
1:02:45 > 1:02:47That would destroy the Sandglass,
1:02:47 > 1:02:49causing it to crack and shatter.
1:02:49 > 1:02:53The Sands of Time would no longer be contained.
1:02:53 > 1:02:55And they would carry the gods' wrath with them once more,
1:02:55 > 1:02:57destroying everything in their path.
1:02:57 > 1:02:59(RUMBLING)
1:03:01 > 1:03:04And all of mankind would pay for Nizam's treachery.
1:03:06 > 1:03:08This is all that would be left of us.
1:03:10 > 1:03:13The secret Guardian Temple outside Alamut is a sanctuary,
1:03:13 > 1:03:15the one place the dagger can be hidden safely,
1:03:15 > 1:03:17the only way to stop this Armageddon.
1:03:20 > 1:03:21That's the truth, Dastan.
1:03:23 > 1:03:25Give me back the dagger...
1:03:26 > 1:03:28..so that I can take it there.
1:03:28 > 1:03:29Mmm.
1:03:31 > 1:03:32I can't do that.
1:03:36 > 1:03:38I'm coming with you.
1:03:38 > 1:03:40You're going to help me?
1:03:42 > 1:03:44We could sit here and chat, or you could get on the horse.
1:04:00 > 1:04:03Our journey is blessed.
1:04:03 > 1:04:06We'll stop for water and push for the mountain pass by nightfall.
1:04:07 > 1:04:09You enjoy telling me what to do.
1:04:09 > 1:04:11Only because you're so good at following orders.
1:04:11 > 1:04:13Yeah. Don't press your luck.
1:04:18 > 1:04:21(OSTRICH SQUAWKING SOFTLY)

1:04:27 > 1:04:29Persian!
1:04:29 > 1:04:31We parted under such rushed circumstances,
1:04:31 > 1:04:33I didn't get a chance to say goodbye.
1:04:35 > 1:04:37We've been tracking you for a week!
1:04:37 > 1:04:41That little riot you started, it went on for two days!
1:04:42 > 1:04:44My beloved racetrack...
1:04:45 > 1:04:48..all washed away like footprints in sand.
1:04:48 > 1:04:50You see Anita there? Hmm? Look at her.
1:04:50 > 1:04:52She's all that's left of my gaming empire.
1:04:52 > 1:04:55And no matter your skills as a promoter,
1:04:55 > 1:04:58you can't organise an ostrich race
1:04:58 > 1:05:00with just one ostrich!
1:05:00 > 1:05:01- Am I right?- Agh!
1:05:01 > 1:05:02ALL: Yeah!
1:05:02 > 1:05:04Yes, sir. Come with me.
1:05:11 > 1:05:14Did you know that ostriches have suicidal tendencies?
1:05:16 > 1:05:17Look at this poor thing.
1:05:18 > 1:05:21She used to be a grand champion.
1:05:21 > 1:05:23Now I have to watch her night and day
1:05:23 > 1:05:25to make sure she doesn't do anything stupid.
1:05:31 > 1:05:35So, it occurred to me the only way to recoup my tragic losses was to
1:05:35 > 1:05:37- track down the two young lovers... - Sheikh Amar...
1:05:37 > 1:05:39..who cast this dark cloud upon me.
1:05:39 > 1:05:41Ah, yes! I'm going to need the price on your heads!
1:05:41 > 1:05:44Your brother will be very pleased to see...
1:05:44 > 1:05:45(WHOOSHING)
1:05:47 > 1:05:49Oh, it's sand dervishes, Persian.
1:05:49 > 1:05:50They're common as camel turd in the desert.
1:05:50 > 1:05:52- No, Sheikh Amar, listen to me! - I'd rather not.
1:05:54 > 1:05:58- Nice knife.- Noble Sheikh, we are on a sacred journey to the Temple...
1:05:58 > 1:05:59Temple, the Temple.
1:05:59 > 1:06:01There's nothing more sacred than Persian gold!
1:06:46 > 1:06:48(SCREAMING)
1:06:48 > 1:06:49Give me the dagger. There are too many of them.
1:06:49 > 1:06:52(SCREAMING)
1:06:52 > 1:06:55You can't kill them all. You want to live? Give me the dagger!
1:06:59 > 1:07:00(HISSING)
1:07:13 > 1:07:15Give me the dagger!
1:07:29 > 1:07:30Persian, how...
1:07:30 > 1:07:32How did you do that?
1:07:34 > 1:07:35Instinct.
1:07:38 > 1:07:39What?
1:07:48 > 1:07:50We have to get out of here.
1:07:53 > 1:07:55What happened last night?
1:07:55 > 1:07:57Those vipers were controlled by Hassansins.
1:07:57 > 1:07:58Hassansins?
1:07:58 > 1:08:00For years, they were the covert killing force of the Persian kings
1:08:00 > 1:08:02until my father ordered them disbanded.
1:08:02 > 1:08:05Nizam must have disobeyed my father's orders
1:08:05 > 1:08:06and kept them intact.
1:08:06 > 1:08:09This secret government killing activity,
1:08:09 > 1:08:10that's why I don't pay taxes.
1:08:10 > 1:08:11We can't stop.
1:08:11 > 1:08:13- Well, perhaps you can't, but we can.- Oh!
1:08:13 > 1:08:15We could use your help getting to the Temple.
1:08:15 > 1:08:18By crossing the Hindu Kush with a storm blowing?
1:08:18 > 1:08:21You attract trouble like flies around rotting mango,
1:08:21 > 1:08:24- and you're insane... - There's gold at the Temple.
1:08:24 > 1:08:26More than 10 horses can carry.
1:08:26 > 1:08:28Tax free.
1:08:28 > 1:08:29Sir!
1:08:40 > 1:08:42(FLIES BUZZING)
1:08:58 > 1:09:00Do you have any idea where you're going?
1:09:00 > 1:09:03I memorised this path as a child.
1:09:03 > 1:09:05Every princess must.
1:09:05 > 1:09:06It's sacred.
1:09:09 > 1:09:10It's here!
1:09:19 > 1:09:20The sanctuary.
1:09:20 > 1:09:23The one place the dagger can be hidden safely.
1:09:23 > 1:09:26I was expecting golden statues, waterfalls.
1:09:31 > 1:09:34Give me back the dagger so that I can take it there.
1:09:51 > 1:09:54Don't cut yourself, Princess.
1:09:59 > 1:10:01Hey! Here!
1:10:04 > 1:10:07Not long dead. Last night maybe. Tortured first.
1:10:08 > 1:10:11- Hassansin. - Nizam knows this place.
1:10:11 > 1:10:13All dead.
1:10:16 > 1:10:18The entire village. Er, my gold?
1:10:18 > 1:10:19Where are you going?
1:10:19 > 1:10:20There is only one way to stop all of this.
1:10:20 > 1:10:22- What? - To make sure the dagger is safe.
1:10:22 > 1:10:24The Temple holds the stone the dagger came from.
1:10:24 > 1:10:27What Temple? This is a pile of stones and rocks!
1:10:27 > 1:10:28The first thing we learned, if all else fails,
1:10:28 > 1:10:30put the dagger back into the stone.
1:10:30 > 1:10:32The stone will envelop it. Pull it into the mountain,
1:10:32 > 1:10:34returning it to the gods.
1:10:42 > 1:10:44The original promise
1:10:44 > 1:10:47must be paid.
1:10:47 > 1:10:48What promise?
1:10:49 > 1:10:52The gods must take back the life they spared.
1:10:52 > 1:10:54That'll mean you'll die.
1:10:56 > 1:10:58(MEN SHOUTING)
1:11:05 > 1:11:07Stay there! Stay there!
1:11:07 > 1:11:09- Stay there! - Listen to me. Listen to me!
1:11:09 > 1:11:10Give me your sword!
1:11:10 > 1:11:12Give me your sword, or do you forsake even that honour?
1:11:12 > 1:11:13There are bodies down there.
1:11:13 > 1:11:16Murdered by Hassansins, on Nizam's order! He's the traitor!
1:11:16 > 1:11:18Hassansins no longer exist!
1:11:18 > 1:11:19You always thought you were so clever.
1:11:19 > 1:11:21- No, this is no trick, Garsiv.- Sir!
1:11:22 > 1:11:25All dead inside, sir. More in the village.
1:11:25 > 1:11:27- There's one in there and... - Stay there!
1:11:32 > 1:11:33Nizam wants me dead.
1:11:33 > 1:11:36Wants me silenced. A trial would be too public.
1:11:41 > 1:11:43You know this? He said as much, didn't he?
1:11:43 > 1:11:45I know it hasn't been easy between us, Garsiv,
1:11:45 > 1:11:47but still,
1:11:47 > 1:11:49we are brothers.
1:11:49 > 1:11:51Touching words with my sword at your throat.
1:11:51 > 1:11:54You often questioned why Father spent so much time in prayer.
1:11:54 > 1:11:56Before he died, he told me that the bond between brothers
1:11:56 > 1:11:58is the sword that defends our empire.
1:11:58 > 1:12:00He was praying that that sword remain strong.
1:12:00 > 1:12:02Why would I go into Avrat for Father's funeral
1:12:02 > 1:12:04when I knew it was so dangerous?
1:12:12 > 1:12:14Nizam recommended your death.
1:12:14 > 1:12:17Tus disagreed, ordered you brought back alive.
1:12:17 > 1:12:18Nizam wants me dead,
1:12:18 > 1:12:22and he's hired the Hassansins to make sure that that does happen.
1:12:22 > 1:12:24He's afraid of what I might say...
1:12:25 > 1:12:27..and who I might tell.
1:12:31 > 1:12:33Tell me, brother.

1:14:25 > 1:14:27Tamina! Let me do it.
1:14:29 > 1:14:32Only a Guardian can return the dagger.
1:14:32 > 1:14:34This isn't something you can do, Dastan.
1:14:37 > 1:14:38I'm ready for this.
1:14:40 > 1:14:42I'm not.
1:14:53 > 1:14:54(WHIP CRACKS)

1:16:20 > 1:16:24Brother. Brother.
1:16:27 > 1:16:29Where is the dagger?
1:16:30 > 1:16:31It's gone.
1:16:33 > 1:16:35"Protect the dagger, no matter the consequences."
1:16:35 > 1:16:37That was my sacred calling.
1:16:38 > 1:16:39That was my destiny.
1:16:46 > 1:16:48We make our own destiny, Princess.
1:16:49 > 1:16:51We'll get it back.
1:17:17 > 1:17:19(CHUCKLING CONTENTEDLY)
1:17:22 > 1:17:24We're going to need another horse.
1:17:27 > 1:17:29Where will you go?
1:17:29 > 1:17:30To Alamut.
1:17:33 > 1:17:36Nizam will use that dagger to pierce the Sandglass,
1:17:36 > 1:17:37and he has to be stopped.
1:17:37 > 1:17:40"And he has to be stopped. He has to be stopped."
1:17:40 > 1:17:41(LAUGHING) That's good...
1:17:43 > 1:17:45What?
1:17:45 > 1:17:47Oh...
1:17:47 > 1:17:48A knife thrower with a conscience.
1:17:49 > 1:17:50(GRUNTS)
1:18:08 > 1:18:11Our friends in the palace say the Persians have broken through
1:18:11 > 1:18:12to the first level of the tunnels.
1:18:12 > 1:18:15They'll reach the Sandglass within hours.
1:18:15 > 1:18:17Nizam's keeping the dagger in the High Temple,
1:18:17 > 1:18:21guarded by some sort of demon covered in spikes.
1:18:21 > 1:18:23The Hassansin that killed my brother.
1:18:23 > 1:18:27It's the only thing that stands between us and the dagger.
1:18:27 > 1:18:30No man can stand within 20 yards of him and live.
1:18:30 > 1:18:32Some don't need to get that close.
1:18:52 > 1:18:55Spare some water, sire?
1:18:55 > 1:18:56(MEN LAUGHING)
1:19:03 > 1:19:04You sure about this?
1:19:05 > 1:19:07- I owe the boy.- What?
1:19:07 > 1:19:10You're a Ngbaka! Scourge of the Numidian plain.
1:19:10 > 1:19:13Me? I'm a slightly dishonourable entrepreneur.
1:19:13 > 1:19:16This nobility business is not the cloth we're cut from.
1:19:16 > 1:19:17Hurry!
1:19:17 > 1:19:21My friend, has anyone ever told you
1:19:21 > 1:19:23that you talk too much?
1:19:23 > 1:19:25Uh-huh.

1:22:16 > 1:22:17Yes, you have.
1:22:17 > 1:22:19I hope your brother listens to you, Persian.
1:22:28 > 1:22:30He's here.
1:22:30 > 1:22:32Seal every gate!
1:22:32 > 1:22:33Find him!
1:23:03 > 1:23:06(WHISPERING)
1:23:06 > 1:23:08- It's clear. - Dastan, I don't think...
1:23:09 > 1:23:12I don't think you should do this.
1:23:12 > 1:23:14Is that concern I hear?
1:23:14 > 1:23:17- Caution.- Sprinkled with concern.
1:23:17 > 1:23:19You flatter yourself, Prince.
1:23:19 > 1:23:22And you used to be a better liar, Princess.
1:23:22 > 1:23:24Perhaps I'm out of practice.
1:23:26 > 1:23:28This won't be the last time we'll be together.
1:23:38 > 1:23:41- Where is the dagger? - You Persian bureaucrats.
1:23:41 > 1:23:42Such soft hands.
1:23:51 > 1:23:54It's been found, my lord.
1:23:54 > 1:23:55The Sandglass?
1:23:57 > 1:23:59I don't have the dagger.
1:24:00 > 1:24:02Leave me.
1:24:03 > 1:24:04Hello, Tus.
1:24:05 > 1:24:06Dastan!
1:24:08 > 1:24:10- We need to talk.- Then talk.
1:24:10 > 1:24:13- Alone.- Wait outside the chamber.
1:24:13 > 1:24:15Now!
1:24:17 > 1:24:18We are brothers, are we not?
1:24:19 > 1:24:22The robe that killed Father was poisoned by Nizam.
1:24:22 > 1:24:23Nizam? You're mad.
1:24:23 > 1:24:26Who gave you the robe, Tus?
1:24:26 > 1:24:28Who gave you the robe?!
1:24:28 > 1:24:30You trust him, as did I.
1:24:30 > 1:24:33But Alamut wasn't supplying our enemies with weapons.
1:24:33 > 1:24:34Nizam lied to us.
1:24:34 > 1:24:36Why would he do such a thing? What could he gain?
1:24:36 > 1:24:38Listen to me carefully.
1:24:38 > 1:24:40Beneath the streets of the city lies an ancient force.
1:24:40 > 1:24:44A container holding the fabled Sands of Time.
1:24:44 > 1:24:46Nizam wishes to use it to corrupt history.
1:24:46 > 1:24:48He wants to turn back time and make himself king.
1:24:48 > 1:24:49(SCOFFING)
1:24:49 > 1:24:51"Sands of Time"?
1:24:51 > 1:24:54- Heresies, Dastan. Pagan madness.- No.
1:24:54 > 1:24:56I've seen its power with my own eyes, Tus.
1:24:56 > 1:24:58And Nizam discovered its resting place.
1:24:58 > 1:25:01If we don't stop him, our world could end.
1:25:01 > 1:25:03If you're going to kill me,
1:25:03 > 1:25:04best you do it now.
1:25:10 > 1:25:11This is no ordinary dagger.
1:25:13 > 1:25:14You press the jewel on its hilt...
1:25:15 > 1:25:17..and you will see.
1:25:19 > 1:25:22I should have had the strength to do this before we invaded the city.
1:25:22 > 1:25:24What are you talking about?
1:25:24 > 1:25:26To act on what I know is right,
1:25:26 > 1:25:29no matter the consequences.
1:25:30 > 1:25:31(GROANING)
1:25:39 > 1:25:41- The soldiers remain on... - Stay where you are!
1:25:48 > 1:25:50He took his own life.
1:25:50 > 1:25:54Then God have mercy on the traitor, for he chose the path of the coward.
1:25:55 > 1:25:57We both know Dastan was many things,
1:25:57 > 1:25:59but not a coward.
1:26:02 > 1:26:04"This is no ordinary dagger.
1:26:04 > 1:26:07"Press the jewel on its hilt and you will see."
1:26:28 > 1:26:30..no matter the consequences.
1:26:30 > 1:26:32Stop!
1:26:32 > 1:26:34A moment ago you died before my eyes.
1:26:37 > 1:26:39Oh, you pressed it.
1:26:39 > 1:26:40How did you know I would?
1:26:41 > 1:26:43Because we are brothers.
1:26:48 > 1:26:49On the day we left for war,
1:26:49 > 1:26:54our father told me a true king considers the advice of counsel,
1:26:54 > 1:26:56but always listens to his heart.
1:26:57 > 1:27:00You shouldn't have had to go so far for me to believe you.
1:27:00 > 1:27:03Your Majesty, the soldiers tell me that...
1:27:05 > 1:27:08I see that Dastan has indeed returned.
1:27:10 > 1:27:12Tus, remember what I told you!
1:27:17 > 1:27:19No! A moment.
1:27:21 > 1:27:24Poor Tus. So eager for the crown.
1:27:26 > 1:27:30And you, Dastan, always charging in.
1:27:30 > 1:27:31So desperate to prove
1:27:31 > 1:27:36you're more than something the King scraped off the streets.
1:27:38 > 1:27:40What a glorious mess we are.
1:27:42 > 1:27:44It seems the bond between brothers
1:27:44 > 1:27:47is no longer the sword that defends our empire.
1:27:48 > 1:27:49Yes!
1:27:49 > 1:27:50Aggh!
1:28:11 > 1:28:12He was one of us.
1:28:15 > 1:28:18He was a priest of the Temple.
1:28:18 > 1:28:21That's how Nizam discovered the existence of the Sandglass.
1:28:21 > 1:28:24They've corrupted the Guardians. Infected us.
1:28:24 > 1:28:26We're no longer pure.
1:28:28 > 1:28:29We must hurry.
1:28:37 > 1:28:39Pulley.
1:28:39 > 1:28:40The pulley!
1:28:40 > 1:28:41Now!
1:28:44 > 1:28:47The Guardians built passageways underneath the city
1:28:47 > 1:28:48as secret access to the Sandglass.
1:28:48 > 1:28:51If we move fast enough, we can get there before Nizam.
1:29:17 > 1:29:18That will lead us down to the Sandglass chamber.
1:29:20 > 1:29:22There is only one safe path.
1:29:23 > 1:29:24Faster!
1:29:41 > 1:29:42(DEEP RUMBLING)
1:29:42 > 1:29:44Follow in my footsteps.
1:29:47 > 1:29:50Nothing can touch the surface other than where I step.

1:30:15 > 1:30:17Oh!
1:30:23 > 1:30:24Dastan!

1:33:04 > 1:33:05Nizam!
1:33:07 > 1:33:09You murdered your own family.
1:33:09 > 1:33:11Sharaman was your brother!
1:33:11 > 1:33:12And my curse.
1:33:12 > 1:33:13(BELLOWING IN RAGE)
1:33:15 > 1:33:16I looked up to you.
1:33:18 > 1:33:19(GROANING)
1:33:19 > 1:33:20Dastan!
1:33:20 > 1:33:25I never understood why my brother brought trash into the palace.
1:33:25 > 1:33:27Enjoy the gutter, Dastan.
1:33:27 > 1:33:29It's where you'll stay under my reign.
1:33:31 > 1:33:32(GRUNTS)
1:33:40 > 1:33:41Tamina!
1:33:42 > 1:33:45Nizam! Don't use the dagger to undo your past!
1:33:45 > 1:33:48- It will unleash...- Unleash what?
1:33:48 > 1:33:50God's wrath? Hell itself?
1:33:55 > 1:33:56Don't do this!
1:33:57 > 1:33:58(GRUNTING)
1:34:01 > 1:34:02Aggh!
1:34:11 > 1:34:14Stop him! If the glass shatters, the world dies with it.
1:34:15 > 1:34:19It's not my destiny, it's yours. It always has been.
1:34:20 > 1:34:22- Let me go.- I won't.
1:34:23 > 1:34:26- Let me go. - I'm not letting you go!
1:34:26 > 1:34:28I wish we could have been together.
1:34:30 > 1:34:31No!
1:34:32 > 1:34:33No! No!
1:34:33 > 1:34:35(GRUNTING)
1:34:35 > 1:34:36(WHIMPERING)
1:34:36 > 1:34:38- Dastan!- No!
1:34:38 > 1:34:41Tamina! No!

1:35:59 > 1:36:00(BOTH SCREAMING)
1:36:16 > 1:36:20(PEOPLE CLAMOURING)
1:36:25 > 1:36:29Prince Dastan! Prince Dastan!
1:36:29 > 1:36:31Bis? You're here!
1:36:31 > 1:36:32Of course I'm here.
1:36:33 > 1:36:35Our men have surrounded Alamut's palace.
1:36:35 > 1:36:37The battle is over.
1:36:37 > 1:36:38Not yet.
1:36:41 > 1:36:44(HORNS BLARING)
1:36:44 > 1:36:46(CROWD CHEERING)
1:36:46 > 1:36:47Wait!
1:36:52 > 1:36:53Wait!
1:36:57 > 1:36:58Wait.
1:37:01 > 1:37:03Brave soldiers of Persia,
1:37:03 > 1:37:06we have been deceived into attacking this holy city!
1:37:06 > 1:37:09Alamut has no weapon forges!
1:37:09 > 1:37:11Dastan!
1:37:11 > 1:37:13(WHISPERING) Have you gone mad?
1:37:13 > 1:37:17I cannot stand silent in the face of treachery. This war was set up
1:37:17 > 1:37:20by one trusted above all else,
1:37:20 > 1:37:21our Uncle Nizam!
1:37:21 > 1:37:23Dastan has fought hard today,
1:37:23 > 1:37:24perhaps too hard!
1:37:24 > 1:37:27What he needs now is to get out from under this burning sun to rest,
1:37:27 > 1:37:28gather his wits!
1:37:28 > 1:37:29(ALL LAUGHING)
1:37:29 > 1:37:32The weapons we found are forgeries!
1:37:32 > 1:37:34There are no weapons here, Uncle, and you know it!
1:37:34 > 1:37:38And the spy who supposedly intercepted them was hired by you
1:37:38 > 1:37:41to persuade all of us to invade Alamut!
1:37:41 > 1:37:44What is this, Dastan? Victor's remorse?
1:37:44 > 1:37:47You yourself led the attack! Brought us this great triumph!
1:37:47 > 1:37:49(ALL CHEERING)
1:37:49 > 1:37:51I should never have let the attack happen.
1:37:53 > 1:37:56I knew in my heart that it was wrong.
1:37:58 > 1:38:01It will never be you.
1:38:01 > 1:38:03You will never be king.
1:38:03 > 1:38:05You don't have the heart.
1:38:05 > 1:38:08You will die in the shadow of a great man.
1:38:13 > 1:38:16Get him down from there before he makes an even bigger fool of himself!
1:38:16 > 1:38:20Tus! Before you left Nasaf, Father told you this,
1:38:20 > 1:38:22that a true king considers the advice of counsel,
1:38:22 > 1:38:25but he always listens to his own heart.
1:38:26 > 1:38:28Father and I were alone.
1:38:28 > 1:38:30- How could you know that? - He was right.
1:38:30 > 1:38:32He knows us, and he knows what we're capable of.
1:38:32 > 1:38:36- Just listen to your heart. - He defies your order
1:38:36 > 1:38:37in the attack and now wants to turn back.
1:38:37 > 1:38:39Tus.
1:38:40 > 1:38:41Take measure here.
1:38:54 > 1:38:56The spy knows the truth.
1:38:56 > 1:38:58Find the spy! Bring him to me!
1:38:58 > 1:39:00We'll wring it from him!
1:39:33 > 1:39:34(GASPING)
1:39:34 > 1:39:36(COUGHING)
1:39:36 > 1:39:38You had what every man could ever dream of.
1:39:38 > 1:39:41Love, respect, and family.
1:39:43 > 1:39:46But that wasn't enough for you, was it?
1:39:46 > 1:39:47(SPITS)
1:39:52 > 1:39:53(SCREAMING)
1:40:08 > 1:40:10(ALL CHEERING)
1:40:20 > 1:40:22Princess of Alamut...
1:40:23 > 1:40:25..I was misled to attack your city.
1:40:27 > 1:40:31Forgive me, Highness. Let me try to make amends.
1:40:39 > 1:40:40(SIGHING)
1:40:40 > 1:40:42It would be to our mutual advantage
1:40:42 > 1:40:47that our nations be united by a bond stronger than friendship.
1:40:47 > 1:40:48Marriage.
1:40:50 > 1:40:54Your marriage, to one who is both conqueror and saviour of your city.
1:40:59 > 1:41:00Dastan.
1:41:02 > 1:41:06Royal blood or not, he's every bit a son to our father.
1:41:06 > 1:41:08Every bit a brother to Garsiv and me.
1:41:08 > 1:41:10A true prince of Persia.
1:41:15 > 1:41:18(WHISPERING) Get up there before I take your place.
1:41:23 > 1:41:25Hello, Princess.
1:41:26 > 1:41:27Er... (CLEARS THROAT)
1:41:27 > 1:41:31It is customary to accompany a proposal with gifts,
1:41:31 > 1:41:34but I was surprised, and, alas, I'm unprepared.
1:41:35 > 1:41:38I have nothing for you,
1:41:38 > 1:41:42save that which was already yours.
1:41:53 > 1:41:56Walk with me, Prince Dastan.
1:42:04 > 1:42:07How can I trust the man that breached the walls of my city?
1:42:07 > 1:42:10I'm starting to think I'm no longer the same man who breached those walls.
1:42:10 > 1:42:13That's a short time for a man to change so much.
1:42:13 > 1:42:15Perhaps.
1:42:19 > 1:42:22It sounds as if you've discovered something here.
1:42:22 > 1:42:24What might that be?
1:42:24 > 1:42:26A new spiritual awareness.
1:42:26 > 1:42:29- A destiny?- Yes, exactly.
1:42:29 > 1:42:32But I believe we make our own destiny, Princess.
1:42:32 > 1:42:35You have an unfortunate lack of curiosity.
1:42:35 > 1:42:37No doubt one of my many flaws.
1:42:37 > 1:42:39Please don't mock me, Prince.
1:42:39 > 1:42:42Oh, I hardly think we know each other well enough
1:42:42 > 1:42:44for that, Princess.
1:42:44 > 1:42:46But I look forward
1:42:46 > 1:42:47to the day that we do.
