Prince of Persia The Sands of Time

en
00:01:10 Long ago, in a land far away,
00:01:13 there once rose an empire that
00:01:18 to the shores of the Mediterranean.
00:01:23 That empire was Persia.
00:01:27 Fierce in battle, wise in victory,
00:01:31 where the Persian sword went,
00:01:36 The Persian king, Sharaman,
00:01:41 upon the principles of loyalty
00:01:46 The King had two sons
00:01:50 Rejoice!
00:01:52 But in the eyes of the gods,
00:01:53 the King's family was not yet complete,
00:01:58 not until the day he witnessed
00:02:02 by an orphan boy
00:02:05 Get out of the way!
00:02:17 Stop!
00:02:19 - Stop!
00:02:25 Run! Run, Bis! Run!
00:02:35 Stay here.
00:03:08 Stop him! He's getting away!
00:03:14 Let go of me!
00:03:17 Come here!
00:03:21 In the King's name!
00:03:31 What is your name, boy?
00:03:33 - Dastan, sire.
00:03:41 Boy!
00:03:47 Brother, take him up.
00:03:49 Moved by what he saw,
00:03:51 the King adopted the boy, Dastan,
00:03:55 A son with no royal blood
00:03:58 and no eye on his throne.
00:04:01 But perhaps there was
00:04:05 something beyond
00:04:09 the day a boy
00:04:16 a prince of Persia.
00:04:58 The fabled Alamut.
00:05:01 Don't be fooled by beauty, Prince Tus.
00:05:04 Soft countries make soft men.
00:05:06 They stoop to treachery
00:05:09 My father's made clear
00:05:11 Some consider it sacred.
00:05:13 But since our wise father isn't here,
00:05:17 I'll have one last council
00:05:21 and my two brothers,
00:05:27 Where's Dastan?
00:05:29 Come on! I bet my entire
00:05:32 This is embarrassing!
00:05:33 - Why don't you give it a try?
00:05:39 Is that all you got?
00:05:46 Prince Dastan!
00:05:49 Where is Prince Dastan?
00:05:51 Prince Dastan isn't here!
00:05:53 Your Highness, please.
00:05:55 Prince Tus has convened
00:05:57 I'm on my way.
00:06:03 Our finest spy intercepted a caravan
00:06:10 Swords of the best workmanship.
00:06:14 Steel-tipped arrows.
00:06:16 And promise of payment
00:06:21 They're selling weapons
00:06:23 An arrow such as this
00:06:26 Blood will run
00:06:28 Or our soldiers will fall from its walls.
00:06:31 Our orders were to subdue Koshkhan,
00:06:35 Wise words, little brother.
00:06:37 Words won't stop our enemies
00:06:39 once they're armed
00:06:57 We attack at dawn.
00:07:01 Well, if that's your decision,
00:07:05 Thoughts to share, Garsiv?
00:07:06 I ride at the head of the Persian army.
00:07:08 Dastan leads a company
00:07:11 They may not be much for manners,
00:07:13 The honor of first blood
00:07:16 Garsiv, your hand is
00:07:18 - Where it should be!
00:07:21 Ever eager.
00:07:24 It's said the princess of Alamut
00:07:29 We'll march into her palace
00:07:35 There can be no doubt
00:07:38 But you're not ready for this.
00:07:41 Garsiv's cavalry will lead the way.
00:08:00 Princess Tamina.
00:08:02 The Persian army, my princess,
00:08:06 Their faith has little love for any truth
00:08:10 other than its own.
00:08:12 Perhaps it would be safer
00:08:16 Whatever their faith,
00:08:20 Nor is their aim.
00:08:22 Gather the council.
00:08:24 Tell them I sit in the High Temple.
00:08:27 The High Temple?
00:08:29 Alamut hasn't been breached
00:08:32 Everything changes with time.
00:08:35 We should know this best of all.
00:08:44 Remind me why we're disobeying
00:08:46 Because Garsiv only knows
00:08:48 It'll be a massacre.
00:08:52 The Alamutians will be busy
00:08:54 so we'll slip through the side.
00:09:24 Have you been drinking?
00:10:06 That's our way in.
00:10:08 There are two gates.
00:10:11 It's the inner gate that's impossible.
00:10:13 That gate mechanism is protected
00:10:18 Yeah, well,
00:10:20 You take care of the outer gate,
00:10:21 you leave the impossible one to me.
00:10:23 You know, sire, you won't be happy
00:10:25 Wonderful speech, Bis. Rousing.
00:10:40 Sound the alarm!
00:11:15 Hold this.
00:12:01 Watch your back.
00:12:15 Eastern gate's open.
00:12:16 That's Dastan's man.
00:12:22 Redeploy to the eastern gate.
00:12:26 Redeploy to the eastern gate!
00:12:49 Come on.
00:13:00 They've breached the eastern gate.
00:13:02 Collapse the passages to the chamber.
00:13:04 Princess.
00:13:07 Go now, everyone.
00:15:17 You know what you must do.
00:15:20 Above all else, it must be kept safe.
00:15:42 Out of the way!
00:17:12 Silly songs and scented smoke
00:17:15 I think you'll find there's more
00:17:34 So for once the stories are true.
00:17:39 We know you secretly build weapons
00:17:43 - Now show us where.
00:17:46 And what weapons we had,
00:17:48 Our spies say differently.
00:17:50 - You can save a lot of pain...
00:17:52 will not help you find something
00:17:55 Spoken like one wise enough
00:18:01 Join hands with Persia's future king.
00:18:03 I'll die first.
00:18:15 That can be arranged.
00:18:17 Don't!
00:18:31 Prince Tus.
00:18:39 Promise me the people of Alamut
00:18:55 - Hey, the Lion of Persia!
00:18:59 They're calling you the Lion of Persia.
00:19:03 You've never excelled
00:19:06 - I have some explaining to do, Tus. I...
00:19:09 No.
00:19:12 No! We have some celebrating to do.
00:19:15 There is, however, tradition.
00:19:17 Since you took the honor
00:19:19 you owe me a gift of homage.
00:19:24 A beautiful dagger.
00:19:25 He delivered you the city
00:19:28 - I think that's homage enough.
00:19:30 First dispatch has just arrived,
00:19:33 Wonderful news.
00:19:34 Your father has interrupted his prayers
00:19:40 No doubt to commend us
00:20:02 We had indications
00:20:05 Indications?
00:20:07 You better have more than indications
00:20:09 to occupy a holy city with my troops!
00:20:13 This adventure
00:20:16 won't sit with our allies.
00:20:19 But I suppose
00:20:23 Don't look to your uncle, boy.
00:20:26 The decision, and its consequences,
00:20:37 I know you're eager to wear the crown,
00:20:39 but trust me when I tell you
00:20:48 No man would know
00:20:55 Because your trust is something
00:20:58 I will oversee the search
00:21:01 I vow I will not stand before you
00:21:36 The third step is the hardest!
00:21:39 Brother! Brother!
00:21:43 We've uncovered signs of tunnels
00:21:46 I'm on my way there now.
00:21:47 But you'll miss the banquet!
00:21:50 You and Garsiv can handle Father
00:21:53 - You do have a gift to honor him with?
00:21:56 - Bis, gift!
00:22:00 It's been momentarily misplaced.
00:22:03 I knew you'd forget.
00:22:08 The holiest in the eastern lands.
00:22:13 You fought like a champion for me,
00:22:20 A rare jewel.
00:22:22 Present her to the King for me
00:22:26 Sure you really want
00:22:30 Listen to me, Dastan.
00:22:33 A marriage to the Princess assures me
00:22:37 Unbound to us,
00:22:41 If Father doesn't approve our union,
00:22:43 I want you to end her life
00:22:56 So, I'm escorted by Prince Dastan,
00:22:58 the Lion of Persia.
00:23:00 Must feel wonderful
00:23:02 for destroying such an innocent city.
00:23:04 A pleasure to meet you, too, Princess.
00:23:07 And allow me to offer that if punishing
00:23:10 then it's one I'll gladly repeat.
00:23:12 Then you are a true prince of Persia.
00:23:15 Brutal, without honor.
00:23:17 Don't make the mistake of thinking
00:23:20 And what more is there?
00:23:22 Wait here with Her Highness.
00:23:25 If you can manage it,
00:23:30 I suggest a hint of humility
00:23:33 For your own good.
00:23:45 You've eased Father's anger, Uncle.
00:23:47 One day, you'll have the pleasure
00:23:52 As long as you remember your most
00:23:56 And what's that?
00:23:57 Making sure his wine glass stays full.
00:24:01 I'm told that another of my sons
00:24:04 of great Persian warriors.
00:24:15 We missed you, Father.
00:24:16 I was praying for you
00:24:22 Family.
00:24:24 The bond between brothers,
00:24:28 that defends our empire.
00:24:30 And I pray that
00:24:35 I was hoping my actions would spare
00:24:42 A good man would've done
00:24:45 acting boldly and courageously
00:24:51 But a great man
00:24:54 from happening at all. A great man
00:24:56 would've stopped
00:25:01 no matter who was ordering it.
00:25:05 The boy I saw in that square
00:25:08 was capable of being
00:25:11 but of being great.
00:25:19 Well, in the meantime,
00:25:27 Some questioned
00:25:31 from the streets into my family.
00:25:33 I saw a boy whose blood wasn't noble,
00:25:37 but whose character was.
00:25:38 A king in spirit.
00:25:43 Thank you, Father.
00:25:44 Thank you, Father.
00:25:46 May I present
00:25:59 What can I grant you in return?
00:26:02 Roham!
00:26:11 May I present Princess Tamina.
00:26:14 Tus wishes to make a union
00:26:17 It is my deepest wish
00:26:24 In all of my travels,
00:26:27 I have never looked upon
00:26:32 You should have seen it before
00:26:36 descended upon it.
00:26:40 Clearly she will make a fine queen.
00:26:46 But Tus already has enough wives.
00:26:50 You, Dastan, might take fewer chances
00:26:54 if such a jewel
00:26:58 The Princess of Alamut
00:27:07 What say you, Dastan?
00:27:10 He plunges into a hundred foes
00:27:13 but before marriage
00:27:16 And there are those
00:27:21 I need a drink.
00:27:30 Stand aside! Out of my way!
00:27:40 Father.
00:27:41 God help us! The robe is poisoned!
00:27:43 Somebody help him!
00:27:45 - The robe Dastan gave him!
00:27:48 - Somebody help him!
00:27:50 - Somebody help him!
00:27:53 Seize him!
00:27:55 Move!
00:28:02 Bis!
00:28:05 Bis!
00:28:06 Come with me!
00:28:18 - What do you think you're doing?
00:28:22 You're going to need my help.
00:28:34 Come on!
00:28:39 - Close the gate!
00:28:46 Close the gate!
00:28:50 Get down!
00:28:55 There! After the murderer!
00:28:57 He's on my horse! He stole my horse!
00:29:02 Aksh, come on!
00:29:08 My loyal subjects,
00:29:10 the whole world grieves at the death
00:29:14 We are all stricken by his loss.
00:29:16 That the murder came
00:29:19 only makes our pain worse.
00:29:22 I didn't murder my father.
00:29:23 That robe was given to me
00:29:25 Tus did this.
00:29:27 And now he stands to be crowned king.
00:29:32 I didn't kill my father.
00:29:36 I believe you.
00:29:38 You shouldn't be here.
00:29:41 But you did.
00:29:48 I promised my brother I'd kill you
00:29:52 Well,
00:29:54 the solution would be to kiss me
00:29:57 and then kill me.
00:29:59 But I have a better solution.
00:30:05 I kill you,
00:30:06 and your problems are solved!
00:30:12 Perhaps we can find another solution.
00:30:51 Well, the solution would be to kiss me,
00:30:54 But I have a better solution.
00:30:57 - No.
00:31:06 Give back what you stole, Persian!
00:31:12 Don't!
00:31:29 - Did you see that?
00:31:33 Go for that sword again,
00:31:35 Again?
00:31:39 You've used up all the sand!
00:31:40 What?
00:31:42 What is this?
00:31:47 Incredible.
00:31:50 Releasing the sand
00:31:52 turns back time.
00:31:57 And only the holder of the dagger
00:32:02 He can go back and alter events,
00:32:06 and no one knows but him.
00:32:10 How much can it unwind?
00:32:13 - Answer me, Princess.
00:32:18 Our invasion wasn't
00:32:20 It was about this dagger.
00:32:23 After the battle,
00:32:26 I didn't think anything of it,
00:32:28 With it he could change anything.
00:32:30 He could change the course
00:32:32 He could foresee the blade of a rival.
00:32:34 He wouldn't just be king, he'd be the
00:32:37 Greater even than my father.
00:32:39 It was all about this dagger!
00:32:41 My treacherous brother
00:32:44 and as such, I have doubled
00:32:48 Meanwhile, I shall strive
00:32:51 as my father would have demanded.
00:32:54 A new reign has begun.
00:32:58 - What are you doing?
00:33:00 And Aksh is the most famous horse
00:33:03 - This will obscure his tracks.
00:33:06 To Avrat,
00:33:08 You're wanted for the King's murder
00:33:09 and you're going to
00:33:11 alongside thousands
00:33:13 Well, Nizam will be there.
00:33:16 He'll see I was set up by Tus.
00:33:18 Step aside, Princess.
00:33:19 Every road to Avrat will be covered
00:33:21 I'm not taking roads. I'm going
00:33:24 No one goes near that wasteland.
00:33:26 It's filled with murdering cutthroats.
00:33:27 So they say.
00:33:28 - Your whole plan is suicide!
00:33:31 and left his blood on my hands.
00:33:34 then so be it.
00:33:37 So you're going to leave me here
00:33:41 Noble Dastan, abandoning
00:33:45 What does your precious honor
00:33:51 Give me the strength not to kill her.
00:34:01 Mount up. We can't be far behind him.
00:34:09 Without the right sand,
00:34:12 Not even very sharp.
00:34:17 This sand, is there more of it?
00:34:20 Of course not.
00:34:22 Well, how can I get some?
00:34:25 Try standing on your head
00:34:35 See what you were looking for, Prince?
00:34:38 Start walking.
00:34:48 If you can't prove to your uncle
00:34:50 why in the world would he believe you?
00:34:52 It's not your problem, Princess.
00:34:55 You know, you really walk like one.
00:34:57 Head held high, chest out,
00:35:02 The walk of a self-satisfied
00:35:05 No doubt it comes from being told
00:35:08 and actually believing it.
00:35:10 I wasn't born in a palace like you.
00:35:13 I was born in the slums of Nasaf,
00:35:14 where I lived if I fought
00:35:18 Then how did you become a prince?
00:35:20 The King marched into the market
00:35:24 I don't know. He...
00:35:27 He found me.
00:35:31 He took me in. He gave me a family.
00:35:41 What you're looking at
00:35:43 is the walk of a man
00:35:53 Welcome to the Valley of the Slaves,
00:36:03 I'm desperate for a drop of water.
00:36:05 That's more than we have, since you
00:36:09 I wasn't born of this desert
00:36:11 all shriveled and angry.
00:36:14 My constitution is much more delicate.
00:36:18 I think you mean "spoiled. "
00:36:20 The wells of Alamut are famed
00:36:24 Perhaps less time admiring your wells
00:36:28 and you wouldn't be here.
00:36:35 A miracle!
00:36:37 I've silenced the Princess!
00:36:41 Tamina?
00:36:44 Tamina?
00:36:48 Can you hear me?
00:36:53 Yes, Dastan, I can hear you.
00:37:15 Do you know where you are, Persian?
00:37:19 And yet you enter still?
00:37:21 In the heart of Sudan,
00:37:23 known as the Ngbaka.
00:37:25 They strike fear into the hearts
00:37:28 The Ngbaka are masters
00:37:31 Wielding blades said to have been
00:37:36 Their aim is so murderously accurate
00:37:42 with one strike.
00:37:45 Oh, I wouldn't even bother doing that
00:37:49 This is Seso. He's a Ngbaka.
00:37:52 I had the good fortune of saving his life,
00:37:55 which means that he is now
00:38:00 So tell me, Persian,
00:38:01 is there any good reason
00:38:05 to put his next throw just a little higher?
00:38:46 So! This is the one, eh?
00:38:50 Yes! You were right. She's not bad.
00:38:59 She could smell a bit better, though.
00:39:01 Still, we have a deal.
00:39:03 Clever princess.
00:39:05 Deal? What deal?
00:39:10 - Such a noble prince!
00:39:13 How taken you were
00:39:16 eagerly leaping to assist
00:39:19 Who said you were a beauty?
00:39:20 There must be a reason
00:39:24 I...
00:39:25 I don't trust you.
00:39:26 And you're not my type.
00:39:28 I'm not some desperate slave girl.
00:39:29 I'm actually capable
00:39:32 Yeah, too many for my taste!
00:39:33 Oh, yeah.
00:39:37 What do you intend to do with her?
00:39:39 Yes, do tell him.
00:39:44 - Give me a moment.
00:39:48 It's hard for me to admit,
00:39:51 but you were right.
00:39:55 I did see what I was looking for.
00:39:58 Dastan, listen to me.
00:40:00 When my uncle sees the power
00:40:04 Dastan, I know I haven't been
00:40:08 Oh, but your lies are so clever.
00:40:10 I am the guardian of a divine covenant.
00:40:13 - That dagger is sacred.
00:40:14 It was being smuggled to safety
00:40:16 If the dagger gets
00:40:18 I will take care of your knife.
00:40:20 You won't want to miss this.
00:40:22 You don't understand what's at stake!
00:40:24 This is a matter for the gods, not man!
00:40:27 - Your gods, not mine.
00:40:33 Come on!
00:40:46 - Ostrich racing?
00:40:50 Whatever they lack in beauty,
00:40:56 And the races are easy to fix.
00:40:58 I've heard all these
00:41:01 The bloodthirsty slaves
00:41:05 That's a good story.
00:41:08 Yeah, but, alas, untrue.
00:41:09 But the skeletons that we saw
00:41:11 I bought those
00:41:13 I crafted our lurid reputation
00:41:16 in order to fend off
00:41:19 that's been lurking
00:41:22 You know what I'm talking about?
00:41:23 Taxes.
00:41:25 And all these Persians
00:41:27 with their armies, their fortresses,
00:41:30 Who pays for it all?
00:41:33 See, that's why I started
00:41:36 to spread some false notoriety.
00:41:39 I spread it like a venerable disease
00:42:03 Behold the mighty ostrich!
00:42:12 Come on, my beauty!
00:42:20 I love this!
00:42:23 And the tax collectors steer clear of me
00:42:28 Everybody's happy.
00:42:30 Hey! Get the girls on!
00:42:32 Get the girls on! Come on!
00:42:37 Don't just stand there! Run, don't walk!
00:42:41 If you drop anything, you pay for it!
00:42:44 Now, don't look at me like that.
00:42:47 Do your job! Crowd control! Thank you!
00:42:50 You know, I think our little arrangement
00:42:52 is gonna work out very well,
00:42:56 Don't touch!
00:42:58 She's a lively one!
00:43:02 In the slave markets of Lur.
00:43:04 I was headed to Iraq
00:43:06 when she attacked me.
00:43:08 The camels are safer.
00:43:10 Noble Sheikh Amar,
00:43:13 You run a fine establishment,
00:43:15 but if you could give me
00:43:16 You know something, Persian?
00:43:18 You bear a remarkable resemblance
00:43:21 who fled after murdering the King.
00:43:34 Have I told you about the Ngbaka?
00:43:38 - Yes, you have.
00:43:41 But yours, however,
00:43:43 Please! I mean, look at her.
00:43:47 And as for you, young man,
00:43:49 did you know your brother's offered
00:43:51 which, quite frankly, between you
00:43:54 I'd trade in my own mother
00:43:58 What? You didn't know
00:44:01 Take him down to the Persian outpost.
00:44:04 Wait, wait, wait. Look. That...
00:44:09 - Nice knife.
00:44:10 It's nothing.
00:44:13 - No, look, that's worthless!
00:44:17 Melt it down for the jewels.
00:44:42 What's the boy doing?
00:44:45 No, you might kill a bird!
00:44:51 Hey! Over here!
00:45:04 I wouldn't do that if I were you!
00:45:05 Get to the tunnel!
00:45:08 Look at this! That's it!
00:45:11 No more fermented goat's milk
00:45:13 Get after him! Come on!
00:45:15 - The gate!
00:45:17 Stop!
00:45:24 Lift the lever! It'll open the gate!
00:45:26 - Give me the dagger!
00:45:27 This is not the time! Just lift that lever!
00:45:29 Give me the dagger!
00:45:34 Don't think it didn't cross my mind.
00:45:42 Move, Princess!
00:45:43 Persian!
00:45:45 Dastan!
00:45:48 Persian!
00:45:58 Looking for this? Key?
00:46:05 Next time, you!
00:46:16 They've all come
00:46:29 There are 100 Persian soldiers
00:46:32 Maybe more.
00:46:35 you're going to have
00:46:42 All these foreign dignitaries,
00:46:45 I'm guessing you know a few.
00:47:04 Couldn't you have found
00:47:06 The Mughals of the Hindu Kush
00:47:09 You should be honored.
00:47:11 Oh, yes. Terribly.
00:47:21 Dastan, where's the dagger?
00:47:23 You're welcome to search me for it.
00:47:25 You'll have to be very thorough.
00:47:40 Tus isn't here.
00:47:45 The sand that fuels the dagger,
00:47:46 there's more of it hidden
00:47:50 That's why Tus stays there.
00:47:52 That's what he's got our army
00:47:54 I have to get a message
00:47:57 That's impossible.
00:49:00 Difficult, not impossible.
00:49:01 Or more proof you're insane.
00:49:03 Then why do you look so impressed?
00:49:05 Out of the way! Make way!
00:49:12 - Turn around.
00:49:13 Turn around!
00:49:27 You used to buy those for me
00:49:29 You used to spit the seeds at Garsiv.
00:49:33 You should not have
00:49:36 I had no choice, Uncle.
00:49:37 Follow me.
00:50:01 I didn't kill Father.
00:50:03 You know I would never do
00:50:05 Your actions speak otherwise.
00:50:08 But I had no choice but to flee.
00:50:11 Tus gave me that cloak.
00:50:13 - He was the one who poisoned it.
00:50:15 Well, he's not here, is he?
00:50:17 At his father's funeral.
00:50:19 Our allies will see
00:50:21 The search for
00:50:24 Yes, but not if there are none.
00:50:26 The invasion of Alamut was a lie.
00:50:28 Tus is after power.
00:50:32 And now he searches not for weapons,
00:50:33 but for the sand
00:50:38 This is why you brought me here,
00:50:41 Do you remember, after the battle,
00:50:42 you stopped Tus
00:50:45 That dagger is the reason
00:50:50 This dagger, you have it with you?
00:50:56 Yes.
00:51:03 It has incredible powers.
00:51:09 Is this some sort of a joke, Dastan?
00:51:13 What? No, it was in there.
00:51:16 Then where's your so-called evidence?
00:51:19 Tamina.
00:51:21 I...
00:51:29 Your hands are burned.
00:51:31 Yes.
00:51:34 From trying to pull
00:51:39 - Is something wrong, Dastan?
00:51:41 You're certain?
00:51:48 It's just that
00:51:51 Tus is my brother.
00:51:53 How could he betray me like this?
00:51:55 I can't say, Dastan. Perhaps he
00:51:58 never respected you as you deserve,
00:52:00 only saw you as someone he could use.
00:52:02 Someone to keep his wine glass filled?
00:52:04 My service to your father was different.
00:52:07 We shared the same blood, Dastan.
00:52:09 How many times did Father speak
00:52:14 - That was his favorite story.
00:52:17 No, that was his favorite.
00:52:19 I'm afraid you're
00:52:25 Wait! Dastan!
00:52:58 Over here!
00:53:20 Murderer!
00:53:30 I didn't kill Father!
00:53:36 Out of the way! Get out of the way!
00:54:41 What are you going to do now?
00:55:32 Where is he?
00:55:33 Where is he?
00:55:35 Hey.
00:55:56 Garsiv.
00:55:59 I didn't kill Father.
00:56:01 Then God will pardon you
00:56:03 after your head rolls.
00:56:15 Not fighting with sticks anymore,
00:56:28 That's all you got?
00:56:48 Your Majesty.
00:56:50 I thought you were staying in Alamut.
00:56:52 Tell me about Dastan, Uncle.
00:56:56 Dastan came to Avrat to kill me.
00:56:58 In the marketplace. I just got away.
00:57:02 Tus, my death would weaken
00:57:07 Dastan hopes to stir a rebellion.
00:57:09 - He wants the throne?
00:57:16 Putting Dastan on trial would
00:57:20 My advice would be to avoid a trial.
00:57:24 Don't bring him back to Nasaf alive.
00:57:37 Whatever Dastan's crimes,
00:57:39 a public trial will best communicate
00:57:43 Strong, honoring the rule of law.
00:57:47 We are not savages.
00:57:49 You grow more a king every day.
00:57:52 Dastan must be found.
00:58:06 I need to speak with our guests.
00:58:07 Oh, about them, my lord.
00:58:11 The servants have seen things,
00:58:14 Last week, one of the horses vanished.
00:58:16 Well, just make sure
00:58:19 Or I promise you,
00:58:22 they will vanish, as well.
00:59:28 I have another task for you, Hassansin,
00:59:30 but you'll have to be quick.
00:59:33 You brought what I requested?
00:59:45 These practices,
00:59:48 In the trance
00:59:51 Visions of death.
00:59:55 A destiny
00:59:58 and a curse.
01:00:06 In that trance, we can find anything,
01:00:08 including your nephew, Prince Dastan.
01:00:11 Then I hope you shall see more death,
01:00:15 soon.
01:00:54 Get down! It's a Persian patrol!
01:00:59 Garsiv.
01:01:09 What aren't you telling me?
01:01:13 The tribesmen left.
01:01:15 Maybe they tired of your penchant
01:01:18 I had no choice but to leave you.
01:01:21 I take it your uncle didn't listen.
01:01:23 It wasn't Tus that killed my father.
01:01:28 - Your uncle?
01:01:31 He said it happened trying to pull off
01:01:33 I've gone over and over it in my mind.
01:01:35 He never touched the cloak.
01:01:40 It was Nizam who poisoned it.
01:01:43 What good does turning back
01:01:46 None.
01:01:48 He murdered my father
01:01:51 What aren't you telling me?
01:01:53 You know, you've got quick hands.
01:01:56 But so do I.
01:01:57 If you want it back,
01:02:00 No more games, no more lies.
01:02:13 Can we get out of here?
01:02:22 Only a princess would think
01:02:30 Nizam's coming to kill us.
01:02:35 I need to know why.
01:02:41 In Alamut rests the beating heart
01:02:46 the Sandglass of the Gods.
01:02:50 Long ago,
01:02:52 and saw nothing
01:02:55 And so they sent
01:02:58 wipe clean the face of the Earth.
01:03:01 But one young girl begged the gods
01:03:05 offering her life in exchange.
01:03:08 Seeing the purity within,
01:03:11 the gods were reminded
01:03:14 And so they swept the sands
01:03:34 The dagger was given to the girl
01:03:37 making her the first Guardian.
01:03:40 The dagger blade is the only thing
01:03:43 and remove the Sands of Time,
01:03:46 but the handle only holds one minute.
01:03:48 What if one were to place the dagger
01:03:50 and press the jewel button
01:03:53 Sand would flow through endlessly.
01:03:54 You could turn back time
01:03:56 Yes, but it is forbidden.
01:04:05 When my father was a boy,
01:04:08 Nizam saved his life hunting.
01:04:11 One day, the two princes
01:04:15 But they were unaware
01:04:18 Nizam saved Sharaman.
01:04:20 My father told us the story
01:04:24 I don't understand.
01:04:27 Nizam wishes to go back in time
01:04:30 Not save my father. Let him die.
01:04:33 Then he would be king for a lifetime,
01:04:37 and my brothers would never be born.
01:04:46 Storm's passed.
01:05:16 Dastan, the sands contained within
01:05:24 Opening the dagger while
01:05:29 That would destroy the Sandglass,
01:05:31 causing it to crack and shatter.
01:05:33 The Sands of Time
01:05:36 And they would carry
01:05:39 destroying everything in their path.
01:05:45 And all of mankind would pay
01:05:50 This is all that would be left of us.
01:05:54 The secret Guardian Temple
01:05:58 the one place
01:06:00 the only way to stop this Armageddon.
01:06:04 That's the truth, Dastan.
01:06:08 Give me back the dagger
01:06:11 so that I can take it there.
01:06:16 I can't do that.
01:06:21 I'm coming with you.
01:06:24 You're going to help me?
01:06:28 We could sit here and chat,
01:06:46 Our journey is blessed.
01:06:49 We'll stop for water and push
01:06:54 You enjoy telling me what to do.
01:06:56 Only because you're so good
01:06:58 Yeah. Don't press your luck.
01:07:14 Persian!
01:07:17 We parted under
01:07:19 I didn't get a chance to say goodbye.
01:07:23 We've been tracking you for a week!
01:07:25 That little riot you started,
01:07:30 My beloved racetrack,
01:07:33 all washed away like footprints in sand.
01:07:36 You see Anita there? Hmm?
01:07:38 She's all that's left
01:07:40 And no matter your skills
01:07:44 you can't organize an ostrich race
01:07:47 with just one ostrich!
01:07:49 Am I right?
01:07:50 - Yeah!
01:07:52 Yes, sir. Come with me.
01:08:01 Did you know that ostriches
01:08:05 Look at this poor thing.
01:08:08 She used to be a grand champion.
01:08:10 Now I have to watch her night and day
01:08:13 to make sure
01:08:21 So, it occurred to me
01:08:22 the only way to recoup
01:08:26 - the two young lovers...
01:08:27 ...who cast this dark cloud upon me.
01:08:29 Yes! I'm going to need
01:08:32 Your brother will be
01:08:38 It's sand dervishes, Persian.
01:08:40 They're common as camel turd
01:08:41 - No, Sheikh Amar, listen to me!
01:08:45 - Nice knife.
01:08:47 we are on a sacred journey
01:08:49 Temple, the Temple.
01:08:50 There's nothing more sacred
01:09:41 Give me the dagger.
01:09:46 You can't kill them all.
01:10:08 Give me the dagger!
01:10:24 Persian, how...
01:10:26 How did you do that?
01:10:30 Instinct.
01:10:34 What?
01:10:45 We have to get out of here.
01:10:50 What happened last night?
01:10:51 Those vipers were controlled
01:10:54 Hassansins?
01:10:55 For years, they were the covert
01:10:57 until my father
01:10:59 Nizam must have disobeyed
01:11:02 and kept them intact.
01:11:03 This secret government killing activity,
01:11:06 that's why I don't pay taxes.
01:11:07 We can't stop.
01:11:09 Well, perhaps you can't, but we can.
01:11:11 We could use your help
01:11:14 By crossing the Hindu Kush
01:11:16 You attract trouble
01:11:19 - and you're insane...
01:11:22 More than 10 horses can carry.
01:11:24 Tax free.
01:11:26 Sir!
01:11:57 Do you have any idea
01:11:59 I memorized this path as a child.
01:12:02 Every princess must.
01:12:04 It's sacred.
01:12:09 It's here!
01:12:19 The sanctuary.
01:12:21 The one place the dagger
01:12:23 I was expecting
01:12:31 Give me back the dagger
01:12:53 Don't cut yourself, Princess.
01:13:01 Hey! Here!
01:13:06 Not long dead.
01:13:10 - Hassansin.
01:13:13 All dead.
01:13:18 The entire village. My gold?
01:13:20 Where are you going?
01:13:21 There is only one way to stop all of this.
01:13:23 - What? What?
01:13:25 The Temple holds the stone
01:13:27 What Temple?
01:13:30 The first thing we learned,
01:13:31 put the dagger back into the stone.
01:13:33 The stone will envelop it.
01:13:36 returning it to the gods.
01:13:45 The original promise
01:13:48 must be paid.
01:13:51 What promise?
01:13:53 The gods must take back the life
01:13:56 That'll mean you'll die.
01:14:09 Stay there! Stay there!
01:14:12 - Stay there!
01:14:14 Give me your sword!
01:14:15 Give me your sword,
01:14:17 There are bodies down there.
01:14:18 Murdered by Hassansins,
01:14:21 Hassansins no longer exist!
01:14:23 You always thought you were so clever.
01:14:25 - No, this is no trick, Garsiv.
01:14:28 All dead inside, sir. More in the village.
01:14:30 - There's one in there and...
01:14:37 Nizam wants me dead.
01:14:39 Wants me silenced.
01:14:47 You know this?
01:14:50 I know it hasn't been easy
01:14:52 but still,
01:14:54 we are brothers.
01:14:55 Touching words with my sword
01:14:57 You often questioned why Father
01:15:00 Before he died, he told me
01:15:02 is the sword that defends our empire.
01:15:04 He was praying that
01:15:07 Why would I go into Avrat
01:15:09 when I knew it was so dangerous?
01:15:19 Nizam recommended your death.
01:15:22 Tus disagreed,
01:15:24 Nizam wants me dead,
01:15:26 and he's hired the Hassansins
01:15:30 He's afraid of what I might say
01:15:33 and who I might tell.
01:15:40 Tell me, brother.
01:15:45 Garsiv?
01:15:51 Wait. Garsiv!
01:15:54 Garsiv.
01:15:57 Hassansins!
01:16:18 Shut up! Shut up!
01:16:32 Protect the dagger!
01:16:51 Persian! Behind you!
01:17:03 Tamina!
01:17:05 Tamina!
01:17:07 Forget them! Throw these!
01:17:10 Find her!
01:17:19 Hey! Hey, over here!
01:17:22 You know what they say
01:17:39 Tamina! Let me do it.
01:17:42 Only a Guardian can return the dagger.
01:17:46 This isn't something
01:17:50 I'm ready for this.
01:17:54 I'm not.
01:18:10 Tamina!
01:19:04 Out! Enough! Out!
01:19:25 Garsiv!
01:19:27 Garsiv.
01:19:28 Dastan, I'm sorry.
01:19:34 Save the empire.
01:19:38 Brother.
01:19:41 Brother.
01:19:46 Where is the dagger?
01:19:48 It's gone.
01:19:51 "Protect the dagger,
01:19:53 That was my sacred calling.
01:19:57 That was my destiny.
01:20:05 We make our own destiny, Princess.
01:20:09 We'll get it back.
01:20:43 We're gonna need another horse.
01:20:48 Where will you go?
01:20:50 To Alamut.
01:20:54 Nizam will use that dagger
01:20:57 and he has to be stopped.
01:20:59 "And he has to be stopped.
01:21:01 That's good...
01:21:05 What?
01:21:08 A knife thrower with a conscience.
01:21:31 Our friends in the palace say
01:21:33 to the first level of the tunnels.
01:21:35 They'll reach the Sandglass
01:21:38 Nizam's keeping the dagger
01:21:40 guarded by some sort of demon
01:21:45 The Hassansin that killed my brother.
01:21:47 It's the only thing that stands
01:21:51 No man can stand
01:21:54 Some don't need to get that close.
01:22:17 Spare some water, sire?
01:22:28 You sure about this?
01:22:30 - I owe the boy.
01:22:32 You're a Ngbaka!
01:22:35 Me? I'm a slightly
01:22:38 This nobility business
01:22:41 Hurry!
01:22:43 My friend, has anyone ever told you
01:22:46 that you talk too much?
01:22:56 Come on.
01:25:45 Have I told you about the Ngbaka?
01:25:49 Yes, you have.
01:25:50 I hope your brother
01:26:02 He's here.
01:26:04 Seal every gate!
01:26:06 Find him!
01:26:41 - It's clear.
01:26:45 I don't think you should do this.
01:26:47 Is that concern I hear?
01:26:50 - Caution.
01:26:53 You flatter yourself, Prince.
01:26:55 And you used to be
01:26:58 Perhaps I'm out of practice.
01:27:02 This won't be the last time
01:27:15 - Where is the dagger?
01:27:18 Such soft hands.
01:27:28 It's been found, my lord.
01:27:31 The Sandglass?
01:27:34 I don't have the dagger.
01:27:38 Leave me.
01:27:41 Hello, Tus.
01:27:43 Dastan!
01:27:46 - We need to talk.
01:27:48 - Alone.
01:27:51 Now!
01:27:55 We are brothers, are we not?
01:27:59 The robe that killed Father
01:28:01 Nizam? You're mad.
01:28:02 Who gave you the robe, Tus?
01:28:05 Who gave you the robe?
01:28:07 You trust him, as did I.
01:28:09 But Alamut wasn't supplying
01:28:12 Nizam lied to us.
01:28:13 Why would he do such a thing?
01:28:15 Listen to me carefully.
01:28:18 Beneath the streets of the city
01:28:20 A container holding
01:28:24 Nizam wishes to use it
01:28:25 He wants to turn back time
01:28:29 "Sands of Time"?
01:28:31 - Heresies, Dastan. Pagan madness.
01:28:34 I've seen its power
01:28:37 And Nizam discovered
01:28:38 If we don't stop him,
01:28:41 If you're going to kill me,
01:28:43 best you do it now.
01:28:51 This is no ordinary dagger.
01:28:53 You press the jewel on its hilt
01:28:56 and you will see.
01:29:00 I should have had the strength
01:29:03 What are you talking about?
01:29:05 To act on what I know is right,
01:29:08 no matter the consequences.
01:29:21 - The soldiers remain on...
01:29:30 He took his own life.
01:29:32 Then God have mercy on the traitor,
01:29:37 We both know
01:29:40 but not a coward.
01:29:45 "This is no ordinary dagger.
01:29:47 "Press the jewel on its hilt
01:30:12 ...no matter the consequences.
01:30:14 Stop!
01:30:17 A moment ago
01:30:21 You pressed it.
01:30:23 How did you know I would?
01:30:26 Because we are brothers.
01:30:32 On the day we left for war,
01:30:34 our father told me a true king
01:30:39 but always listens to his heart.
01:30:43 You shouldn't have had to go so far
01:30:46 Your Majesty,
01:30:51 I see that Dastan has indeed returned.
01:30:56 Tus, remember what I told you!
01:31:03 No! A moment.
01:31:07 Poor Tus. So eager for the crown.
01:31:12 And you, Dastan, always charging in.
01:31:16 So desperate to prove
01:31:18 you're more than something
01:31:25 What a glorious mess we are.
01:31:29 It seems the bond between brothers
01:31:31 is no longer the sword
01:31:35 Yes!
01:31:59 He was one of us.
01:32:04 He was a priest of the Temple.
01:32:07 That's how Nizam discovered
01:32:10 They've corrupted the Guardians.
01:32:13 We're no longer pure.
01:32:17 We must hurry.
01:32:27 Pulley.
01:32:28 The pulley!
01:32:30 Now!
01:32:34 The Guardians built passageways
01:32:37 as secret access to the Sandglass.
01:32:39 If we move fast enough,
01:33:08 That will lead us down
01:33:12 There is only one safe path.
01:33:15 Faster!
01:33:35 Follow in my footsteps.
01:33:40 Nothing can touch the surface
01:34:05 Run, Dastan!
01:34:07 Run!
01:34:17 Dastan!
01:37:05 Nizam!
01:37:08 You murdered your own family.
01:37:10 Sharaman was your brother!
01:37:12 And my curse.
01:37:16 I looked up to you.
01:37:21 Dastan!
01:37:22 I never understood why my brother
01:37:27 Enjoy the gutter, Dastan.
01:37:29 It's where you'll stay under my reign.
01:37:42 Tamina!
01:37:45 Nizam! Don't use the dagger
01:37:48 - It will unleash...
01:37:50 God's wrath? Hell itself?
01:37:58 Don't do this!
01:38:15 Stop him! If the glass shatters,
01:38:19 It's not my destiny, it's yours.
01:38:24 - Let me go.
01:38:27 - Let me go.
01:38:30 I wish we could have been together.
01:38:34 No!
01:38:36 No! No!
01:38:41 - Dastan!
01:38:43 Tamina! No!
01:38:51 No!
01:38:54 No!
01:39:16 Dastan!
01:39:19 Tamina!
01:39:54 Family.
01:40:35 Prince Dastan!
01:40:37 Prince Dastan!
01:40:39 Bis? You're here!
01:40:41 Of course I'm here.
01:40:43 Our men have surrounded
01:40:45 The battle is over.
01:40:47 Not yet.
01:40:57 Wait!
01:41:03 Wait!
01:41:08 Wait.
01:41:12 Brave soldiers of Persia,
01:41:14 we have been deceived
01:41:17 Alamut has no weapon forges!
01:41:21 Dastan!
01:41:23 Have you gone mad?
01:41:24 I cannot stand silent in the face
01:41:29 by one trusted above all else,
01:41:31 our Uncle Nizam!
01:41:33 Dastan has fought hard today,
01:41:35 perhaps too hard!
01:41:36 What he needs now is to get out
01:41:39 gather his wits!
01:41:42 The weapons we found are forgeries!
01:41:44 There are no weapons here, Uncle,
01:41:47 And the spy who supposedly
01:41:51 to persuade all of us to invade Alamut!
01:41:54 What is this, Dastan?
01:41:57 You yourself led the attack!
01:42:02 I should never have
01:42:07 I knew in my heart that it was wrong.
01:42:12 It will never be you.
01:42:14 You will never be king.
01:42:17 You don't have the heart.
01:42:18 You will die in the shadow
01:42:28 Get him down from there before he
01:42:31 Tus! Before you left Nasaf,
01:42:35 that a true king
01:42:37 but he always listens to his own heart.
01:42:41 Father and I were alone.
01:42:43 - How could you know that?
01:42:45 He knows us,
01:42:47 - Just listen to your heart.
01:42:51 in the attack
01:42:52 Tus.
01:42:55 Take measure here.
01:43:10 The spy knows the truth.
01:43:12 Find the spy! Bring him to me!
01:43:14 We'll wring it from him!
01:43:54 You had what every man
01:43:56 Love, respect, and family.
01:44:01 But that wasn't enough for you, was it?
01:44:40 Princess of Alamut,
01:44:43 I was misled to attack your city.
01:44:47 Forgive me, Highness.
01:45:00 It would be to our mutual advantage
01:45:03 that our nations be united
01:45:08 Marriage.
01:45:10 Your marriage, to one who is both
01:45:21 Dastan.
01:45:23 Royal blood or not,
01:45:27 Every bit a brother to Garsiv and me.
01:45:30 A true prince of Persia.
01:45:37 Get up there before I take your place.
01:45:45 Hello, Princess.
01:45:49 It is customary to accompany
01:45:53 but I was surprised,
01:45:58 I have nothing for you,
01:46:01 save that which was already yours.
01:46:16 Walk with me, Prince Dastan.
01:46:28 How can I trust the man
01:46:31 I'm starting to think I'm no longer the
01:46:35 That's a short time for a man
01:46:38 Perhaps.
01:46:43 It sounds as if
01:46:47 What might that be?
01:46:48 A new spiritual awareness.
01:46:51 - A destiny?
01:46:54 But I believe we make
01:46:57 You have an unfortunate
01:47:00 No doubt one of my many flaws.
01:47:02 Please don't mock me, Prince.
01:47:05 Oh, I hardly think we know each other
01:47:09 But I look forward
01:47:11 to the day that we do.
