Please. Please. drink it.

I have seen your husband.

Seen him?

In a dream.

He's in danger. memsahib.

She's with him.

Who is with him?

I don't understand.

Please tell me where he is.

Thakur-ji. William's become

Gopal again.

He's traveling with the thugs.

You must find him.

He's in great danger.

I need your help. Please. Thakur-ji.

Yes. memsahib.

But why did you not tell me?

Could I not have helped him?

- Can you not help him now, Thakur-ji?

Yes.

I shall find the sahib. wherever he is.

I will find him.

Where do you travel. Feringeea?

Parsola - to the holy shrine of our god.

Your Grace.

Ah. you are pilgrims.

- Yes. Your Grace.

We are going to Khapa

for my daughter's wedding.

It's a good marriage. and we bring

a large dowry to the wedding feast.

Over 1.000 mohurs.

A thousand mohurs?

A dowry for a princess!

Yes. it is better to travel together.

There may be dacoits

even though this is a British district.

Yes. Your Grace.

It is safer to travel together.

Back, pig eater.

Stay where you are!

Search their bags.

But. sahib...

what have we done?

You were traveling with another party.

Where are they?

They rode to Khapa. sahib.

They would not come with us.

We are jewel carriers.

You are thugs.

This is my district...

Feringeea.

Yes. sahib.

Three of the horses and 500 mohurs.

You're welcome. sahib.

A thousand mohurs.

- But. sahib -

A thousand!

Nobody passes through my district

without my knowing it. Feringeea.

Just remember that.

Memsahib. I'm Hussein.

I will not hurt you.

but you must not cry out.

Do you understand?

Hussein? What has happened?

Where is he?

Tell me. please.

- He's in great danger.

Now. you must give me

a letter to your father.

The agent-sahib.

- A letter?

Yes. So that he will trust me.

Please. memsahib.

Well. tell me what to say.

- Just as I say.

The sahib is traveling

with many Deceivers...

to thejewel market of Parsola.

Your father Wilson sahib

must send the cavalry...

before the sahib, your husband,

is discovered.

- "Before... is discovered. '"

- Discovered.

Hussein. wait!

Show my father this.

Tell him -Tell him I love him.

Tell him he must come.

I will. memsahib. I will.

My horse -

I think he's lame.

Aaah!

Greetings. Ali. my brother.

Greetings to you. Ali. my brother!

Parsola! The end of the hunt!

Diamonds.! Come on, gentlemen,

observe my fine diamonds.!

Emeralds. emeralds!

See?

Gopal-ji.

You are an excellent Deceiver.

Perhaps the best Deceiver of all.

See. I have brought you the approver.

Gopal. beloved of Kali.

You've eaten the gur with us.

You've killed...

and been rewarded.

Our secret is safe with you.

Strangle this man.

My son!

Stand back! I will kill him!

Hmm.

- No!

Don't touch him.! Let him go.!

- Stay back.!

Let him go!

- Get the horses!

Quick!

- Don't kill my boy, Gopal.!

Hang on to the boy!

Come this way! To the horses!

Take them.!

Now I belong to the company!

Damn you!

Come out now, sahib.

Let the rumal end the hunt.

There is nowhere to go.

My father was a great jemadar...

like his father before him.

At first I felt pity for those we killed.

But then I saw how Kali ordained it.

Sahib. I'm your friend.

Let me do it.

Oh.

Shh.

It's been going on

for hundreds of years, apparently.

There seem to be killing groves

the length and breadth of India.

The company has agreed to set up

an office of thuggee extermination.

No efforts are to be spared...

until this evil cult has been

finally eradicated.

On my recommendation...

Colonel Savage...

you will be appointed

superintendent of this office.

The high reputation you have earned,

your sense of duty...

and knowledge of the people

have led me to submit your name alone...

to the Council of India.

I see you have a great moral duty

to perform.

Prisoner and escort.

Right wheel.!

March!

Because thou lovest the burning ground...

I have made

a burning ground of my heart...

that thou,

haunter of the burning ground...

may dance thy eternal dance.
