My father has given me a duty.

To harass the English advance.

Udaji, I've done a terrible thing.

I didn't tell the Englishman

of the prophecy.

So, what the old man said

has come to pass.

I know.

I'm sorry.

They're gonna try

and use me to harm him.

And he won't be warned.

So, what will you do?

Refuse.

- You would betray your own people?

- No.

Can't you see, I'm bad luck.

Sometimes you have to see

beyond ourselves, Taluja.

We all make sacrifices.

I once told you, "life was simple."

I was wrong.

May the Goddess hold you to her.

James, forgive me.

I would never let them harm you.

Never.

Everything we call reality

is composed of tiny particles of energy.

Now when 2 particles meet,

one will spin clockwise and the other

will spin counter clockwise.

And if you separate those two particles

to the obsidian of the universe

to the obsidian of time.

And then alter the spin of one.

The spin of the other will also alter.

Instantaneously.

Communication across space and time.

- Have you got everything?

- You ready?

Let's go.

Through space and time.

Oh, Shivaji, not that.

Straighten the road at 350 yards at...

10 degrees.

No sign of the enemy.

They'll be out there somewhere.

James sahib...

What if the enemy finds us?

Hartley and Egerton will join us

by nightfall. We'll be safe.

Now let's the Gods decide.

I've done enough.

It's not the destiny of such a ring

to remain separated from it's twin, Ishtur.

So it is said.

Let's hope so, Desai.

Wait.

Oh, my God! I see it. Allie, I see it.

I found it! I found it!

- Colonel Egerton.

- Hartley.

When can we move, to support

Stewart's advance guard?

- Tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?

Sir, we can't leave Stewart

exposed till then?

As I say, you will wait

till rest of the army gets here.

Tomorrow.

Allie, you take it, okay?

I've gotta get back to the hospital.

You know what to do do. I can't say.

- I'll call you.

- Yeah.

James sahib!

Please don't leave the camp.

I arranged her escape, Ishtur.

It was necessary.

I wanted to tell you. Krishna knows...

I don't love you any the less.

We do what we must.

Warn Dr. Nutting.

And the ring?

It was just a ring.

So it may seem.

But it is a messenger.

And what is its message?

Love, Guru Dev.

So...

do you love?

It's too late.

It's too late, Guru Dev.

- How does time flow, Tulaja?

- Time flows like one.

Like water in a pool.

As you said.

Mrs. Fennel,

if you insert this card to that slot

it'll turn off the machines.

Thank you.

Allie!

Allie!

Come on.

I love you.

I love you.

Laura.

Darling?

Yes, sweetheart.

You didn't think I'd...

Think I'd...

miss our anniversary, did you?

No.

Of course not.

Oh, thank God.

I love you so much.

Of such entangling,

is our universe woven.

A hard pattern you may say,

this path of love.

But how, child,

could it be otherwise?
