The Indian Tomb (1959) Movie Script

This is the palace of Maharaja Chandra,
ruler over life and death in Eschnapur.
All appears to be peaceful,
but the calm is deceptive.
Ramigani, the Maharajas older brother,
ls envious of him,
and gathers rebellious nobles and priests
to overthrow his brother
and to seize power in Eschnapur.
Chandra, the Maharaja, is unsuspecting.
He's convinced
of the loyalty of his brother.
While he feeds his beloved animals
he thinks of the fabulous island palace
and the beautiful dancer Seetha,
whom he called on to dance
in the temple of Eschnapur.
In the splendor of the palace
she lives like a bird In a gilded cage.
Chandra offers her the dead
Maharani's jewels to show his love.
He wants to share the throne with her.
But the dancer's heart belongs to another,
the German engineer Harald Berger,
who was hired by Chandra
to build schools and hospitals.
He saved Seetha from the claws of a tiger.
Chandra showed his gratitude with a ring.
But their friendship ended
with Berger's love for Seetha.
Berger is forced to flee
with the beautiful dancer.
Horsemen are sent out
to find them and bring them back.
Berger's sister Irene
and her husband Walter Rhode,
Berger's colleague,
arrive in Eschnapur.
They become suspicious
when Ramigani tells them
that Berger has gone on a tiger hunt.
Chandra has definite plans for Rhode.
I want you first to build a tomb.
A tomb?
Such as the world has never seen before.
Made from the purest marble,
the most precious jewels:
jade, alabaster, turquoise, coral,
emeralds and rubies.
It will be the tomb of my beloved.
I've lost the woman...
who was very close to my heart.
Please accept my condolences
for the loss of someone
who loved you dearly.
Who said that the woman
of whom I spoke loved me?
And if I lost her, must she be dead?
Then... she's still alive?
One day she will be dead.
To be precise,
she'll die when the tomb is complete.
I must have misunderstood you.
May I have an explanation?
How can you explain
that a woman who was wrapped in love
like a golden cloak
cast my love aside...
and tossed it to a dog?
To a man who betrayed his friend?
You don't want a tomb, Your Highness.
You want an execution site.
There's nothing about this in my contract.
I'm leaving.
You can't leave Eschnapur
without my permission and my protection.
Seetha and Berger are caught in a storm.
The wind covers their tracks,
the horsemen can't find them.
Exhausted, the two lovers collapse.
Many hours later,
after the storm has cleared,
a caravan of peaceful traders
wends its way across the desert.
Sahib, over there.
Ride over and investigate.
-His heart's still beating.
-Hers too.
A foreign devil has escaped
from the Maharaja's palace.
He has offended the gods
and stolen from the prince.
With him is an Indian woman.
She is not to be harmed.
Whoever turns them over
to the Maharaja's soldiers
will receive a reward.
We really could use that.
You know our bull has died!
A tomb for a great love...
I won't build it. I won't!
In my contract it says nothing
about an execution site.
And if he forces you?
You can't force someone to participate
in a crime he cannot prevent.
Walter, don't you think
you're a bit unrealistic sometimes?
He wouldn't dare harm a European.
Anyone who shelters the foreigner
or helps him escape,
will be sentenced to death!
Their village
will be burned to the ground.
Forward!
There. The button's mended.
-It doesn't match, but...
-What are you doing?
I'm mending Harald's clothes,
as far as I can.
Look at this spot. Pencil, of course.
Why is it men always
stuff their pockets full of pencils?
Stop pacing to and fro like a tiger.
Tiger hunt.
You know,
everything here seems so strange to me.
You're nervous, Irene.
-This heat...
-Why do you think he's gone?
No letter, no message, nothing.
He knew we were coming.
Don't worry so much.
No.
I have an uncanny feeling.
We've found two strangers.
-A white man and an Indian woman?
-Do you know them?
You're going north?
Then it's better you take them with you.
They need rest. They ran out of water.
It was Allah's will that we found them.
You're right.
It is the custom that they can stay
until they're well again.
I hope I'm not disturbing you.
Not at all, madam.
Please.
You may go anywhere you please
in the palace.
I want you to feel at home in Eschnapur.
I came to tell you
that my husband can't work for you.
There's no reason.
I asked him to build a monument
to the feelings I have wasted.
It is a tomb for a great love.
A great love... or a great hate?
In a hundred years,
no one will know it was hate.
What will remain
is a tomb for a great love.
Can't you forgive this woman?
You can only forgive if you still love.
I no longer love.
I hate.
You hate because you love.
You want revenge because you're jealous.
Excuse my frankness.
Let's talk of other things.
I'm surprised my brother
hasn't left a message for me.
I have sent my best horsemen
to bring Mr. Berger back.
I trust they will soon find him.
I think I had plans
even when I first saw you
in the caravansary.
I will build a house for us.
It won't be a palace.
But every room will be filled
with love and affection.
-Will we have a little garden?
-With many flowers.
And a fence so high
that fear can't pass over it.
Don't be afraid, Seetha.
We're among friends here.
You mustn't do this.
Think of the law of hospitality.
I'm thinking of our bull that died.
It's our duty to serve the prince.
You aren't!
If anyone asks,
I went to visit my brother.
Wait, listen!
It was a useless conversation.
It's impossible to get through to him.
He's Indian.
Asagara is also Indian. He's accessible.
Walter...
do you think Harald could be the man
who betrayed the prince with that woman?
I was asking myself that too,
but he never had affairs.
What if it was more? A real love perhaps?
Harald was always very determined.
We must wait.
-Harald.
-Be quiet.
Sahib, you must flee.
The Maharaja's horsemen will be here soon.
How do you know?
One of us has brought shame
on our community.
He didn't respect the law of hospitality.
Try to reach the gorge. It has many caves.
We've brought you food
and a dress for the woman.
Here's a weapon for you, sahib.
Now hurry. May the gods be with you.
If they escape,
we'll hang every man, woman and child.
We've found their tracks.
Good, keep searching.
You've been warned. You sheltered them.
The village will be burnt down.
Leave the horses!
Get up here, hurry up!
Quick. Let's get into the gorge.
I can't go on. I'm tired.
Wait.
Here's a cave. Come quickly.
Are you sure we're on their track?
Yes, there are freshly broken twigs.
Go on, then.
They're very close.
Lucky the entry is small,
it's easy to defend.
Shiva,
savior, preserver,
destroyer, protector,
merciful god.
You free us from fear.
Creator and ruler of life...
protect us.
I am your servant.
Your servant.
Go up that hill.
Into this gorge.
There's a cave. Check it.
They can't be in there.
There's a spider web in front of it.
They would have destroyed it.
Keep going up the gorge.
We were lucky.
A spider has spun its web there.
It stopped them.
It's unbelievable! Incredible!
-What's the matter?
-It's outrageous.
Chandra has had the models removed.
No doubt so they won't be damaged.
Nonsense!
What do you mean?
Mr. Asagara, may I ask you something?
If I can answer you.
You must understand...
Do you really believe
my brother's gone tiger hunting?
If I were to say I don't believe it,
I would be accusing my prince of lying.
Couldn't you find out something for us?
Who was with him? When did he leave?
Where did he go?
Please, won't you help us?
I will try, Mrs. Rhode.
I hope Mr. Berger is well.
I think it's safe,
but we'd better wait till dawn.
-What are you doing?
-I'm hungry, we've not eaten.
You can't eat that!
Shiva has accepted my offering.
He would be angry with us.
Seetha,
Shiva does not have the power to help us.
He sent us the spider.
Seetha!
Harald, leave me my gods.
They are good gods.
-I'll get water.
-Stay here.
Don't worry, Shiva is with me.
No, I want him alive.
Sikhu, Lakma.
Climb down. I must know if he's dead.
Open up!
A message for His Highness
from Prince Ramigani.
That thing up there...
is driving me crazy!
I'm glad if the air moves at all.
It's as if... it had eyes.
But, Irene...
I'm scared.
I didn't know Mrs. Rhode was here.
Actually,
I wanted to speak to Mr. Rhode alone.
- I have bad news.
-My brother?
He was an inexperienced hunter.
To attack a tiger in his lair
is dangerous.
Is he... dead?
-Yes.
-How do you know?
I don't believe you.
My shikaris found him.
They buried him where he fell,
near the tiger's hunting ground.
Harald... dead.
Yes, he is dead.
A pity.
Irene, have a look at this.
Look at it!
Yes, it's Harald's jacket.
But he didn't wear it on a tiger hunt.
Do you recognize the pencil marks
you showed me?
Let me see.
You're right.
The button I sewed on is gone,
but there's a piece
of the mismatching thread.
They've taken the jacket
from the cupboard.
They're playing a sinister game with us.
Harald is alive.
The crocodiles ate him.
They got to him before the vultures did.
The woman you love has been rescued.
Go on.
We've found the dancer.
Chandra.
She was bound hand and foot.
What's your game, Ramigani?
What do you mean, brother?
Are you telling me Seetha...
the dancer left Eschnapur
against her will?
As a prisoner?
Why else would we have found her bound?
I was surprised too.
I thought she was a traitor, but now...
Ramigani,
I fear it is your love for me
that makes you lie.
You want to save my heart.
I thank you.
-Do you want to see her?
-No.
Anything else?
A messenger is waiting. He's from Padhu.
The old devil's coming.
Where is he?
In your quarters.
He came disguised as a merchant.
What have you brought?
Prince Padhu sends me.
He's determined
to take revenge on Chandra.
He supports you
for the throne of Eschnapur.
What does the Raja suggest?
His army is at the border.
And an elite corps
is on its way to the city.
They will arrive
in a few days as merchants.
Too early.
I have yet to win over the priests.
I need Dagh, Chandra's general.
How much do we need to bribe him?
He served under the Maharaja's father.
He contributed to Ramigani
being passed over in favor of Chandra.
-There are other ways...
-Not against Dagh.
His troops are loyal to him.
Using force is dangerous.
Go now. Let no one see you.
The court is mostly on our side.
I control the guard.
General Dagh supports Chandra.
The priests are still undecided.
I need a grievance, Bhowana.
The dancer on the throne.
But Chandra can't make up his mind.
His heart is still full of doubt.
Wise man,
you used to be wealthy and powerful.
You followed Buddha's path
and became a penitent.
I come to you
as you possess more
than all the treasures of India.
I can no longer read the signs.
The gods won't answer.
Perhaps the gods don't want to answer you.
Your selfishness blinds you.
My heart is burdened. I cannot find peace.
I seek the truth.
No. You're not looking for the truth.
You're looking for someone
to betray it with you
so that you're not alone
on your way into darkness.
Bring me water, Samisi. I am thirsty.
He is humble.
Humility and renunciation
are the keys to peace and happiness.
He will receive both.
I cannot renounce the world.
And I don't want to!
Give me a word of consolation.
Even if my way leads to darkness.
Pray to the gods for me. I can't anymore.
You abandon the gods
yet call on them for help?
Go now, Chandra. I can't help you.
Nor can I see your way.
It is night in Eschnapur.
I can't explain it.
I've been making inquiries.
They say Seetha is a prisoner
in the palace.
Of Mr. Berger they only know
that the shikaris found him,
killed by a tiger.
The jacket proves the prince is lying!
Even my friendship to you and Mr. Berger
doesn't give me the right
to doubt His Highness.
Please go to the prince,
and tell him I want to see him.
-Prince Chandra has left.
-I don't believe you!
Don't blame me.
Please believe me,
I am a friend of Mr. Berger.
I am a friend of you both.
I believe you, Mr. Asagara.
But why do you think
we are being deceived?
It is possible
that my friend Berger is still alive...
a prisoner.
But that he's supposed to be dead,
because...
Go on! Why?
Because there are other plans for him.
May I retire now, Mr. Rhode?
I'm very tired.
Good night.
Good night, Mrs. Rhode.
Good night.
I've had a basket of fresh mangoes
brought to your room.
Thank you, Mr. Asagara.
I don't trust him.
I trust no one here.
I think he really likes us.
But he's torn between
his loyalty for the prince
and the desire to help us.
I know you're sad, Seetha.
The foreigner saved your life
and he loved you.
Be smart, Seetha. Forget him.
Chandra still loves you.
He's been lonely since the Maharani died.
The gods have chosen you
to take her place at his side.
Don't talk to me of the gods, Ramigani.
You don't believe in them
and I no longer fear them.
He to whom my heart belongs was right.
The gods are bad.
I've lied to my brother.
I told him the foreigner
forced you to flee.
I love my brother.
I don't want his heart to be wounded.
I want to help you, Seetha.
Trust me.
Mr. Asagara,
do you know where my husband is?
Yes, Mrs. Rhode. Mr. Berger was right.
A wall on the lake gave way.
Now we have crocodiles in the storerooms.
Tell me, Mr. Asagara,
is there news about my brother?
I asked many people.
Often I felt they knew something,
but won't tell me.
I would love to help you, but how?
-Perhaps the dancer...
-She's closely guarded.
No one would leave her rooms alive.
Not even I.
If you'll excuse me now,
Mr. Rhode wants to inspect
the foundations of the palace
and needs Mr. Berger's charts
of the underground passages.
WOMEN'S CHAMBERS
The dancer is a daughter of the temple.
She has broken its laws
and offended the gods.
Only they can decide
if she's guilty or not.
She must submit to the judgment.
i respect you, Yama,
but the dancer is innocent.
It is unjust for her
to be judged by the gods.
If the dancer is guilty, she will die.
If the goddess thinks her pure,
she will live.
As far as I can remember,
no one has ever survived this judgment.
Thus they were all guilty.
What if Chandra refuses to accept this?
Chandra is wise.
He knows the power of the gods
and their servants.
It is good for the prince
to respect the temple's power.
I don't understand.
My brother Ramigani tells me
the dancer is innocent.
So it would be cruel
to have her judged by the gods.
It is not me who calls for a judgment.
-It is the goddess herself.
- I will not...
If your heart was not full of doubt,
why would you be afraid
of a god's judgment?
Do you want to marry a woman
who may have belonged
to a detestable foreigner?
Beware, Yama.
What would your nights be like, Chandra?
With your heart tortured by suspicion.
Perhaps you will pass judgment
on her yourself one day.
How will you know
you aren't punishing an innocent then?
Only the goddess knows the truth.
And you will have certainty.
You have been accused of grave offenses,
Seetha.
We, the servants of the temple,
can't see inside your heart.
Only she, the sublime goddess...
the merciful...
the just.
We serve her,
as you too swore to serve her.
Not we, she will pass judgment.
Your dance often pleased her.
Perhaps this time it will move her
to have mercy on you.
The curse of the goddess will be upon you,
Chandra.
You too must obey her.
The dancer must die.
I still rule Eschnapur, priest.
General Dagh, Bhowana,
take her back to the palace.
Ramigani, have gold distributed,
and announce
that Eschnapur will have a new Maharani!
His Highness,
Maharaja Chandra of Eschnapur,
Raja of Peshawar and Uttar,
Gaekwad of Dahlor,
proclaims that he has chosen
a new Maharani
after consulting the gods.
Prince Chandra's heart
is filled with love and joy
and it is his wish
that the people of Eschnapur
share in his joy.
I seem fated to always save you
from misfortune, Seetha.
I can't even allow the gods
to decide on your life and my happiness.
How beautiful you are.
I need your love, Seetha.
You know how much I desire you.
Dispel the doubts that torment me.
Did you love the foreigner?
Yes.
I did love him.
And I love him beyond his death.
It wasn't the gods, Chandra.
You killed him.
And I hate you for it.
I told the people of Eschnapur
that you will be the Maharani.
You will share the throne with me,
for one day.
Look!
There will be a tomb
such as the world has never seen.
And when it is completed,
you will be immured alive within it!
From this window
you will watch as it is built
and you will know the hour
of your death is approaching.
No death can be as cruel
as life by your side.
I will never be your Maharani.
I will shout from the rooftops
that you are a murderer and I hate you!
No one will hear you
because I will have the tongue
burnt from your throat.
What are you doing?
Tell me, do you know what this means?
Cave of lepers.
That's another of Chandra's inventions.
All those thought to be lepers
have been isolated.
Isn't that logical?
Isolated is a mild description.
He's crammed them together in a cave
where they die one by one
because there is no doctor.
But the streets are clean.
Oh, yes, no sick people there!
But he hired you to build hospitals.
Yes. And now, this tomb.
Tell me, Walter.
Don't you think the dancer
would know the truth?
Asagara says
it's impossible to get to her.
He's probably right.
Chandra has banished me
from his presence...
because I deceived him.
There is blood in his eyes.
I warn you.
It is not good to live without a tongue.
No torture could force me
to live by his side.
Perhaps there is something.
Do you know this ring?
Stolen from a dead man.
Taken from a prisoner.
Tomorrow you will tell Chandra
that you will be his Maharani.
-No, never.
-You will.
Or every morning,
I will bring you
one of your beloved's fingers.
He has ten...
and two eyes.
That's another two days.
You're lying.
He's dead.
Do you want to see him?
Send away the guards until further orders.
Harald!
If you're not quiet,
he will suffer for it.
Damn it!
The day you take your place
at Chandra's side,
the foreign sahib will be taken
safely to the border.
You don't have much time to think it over.
Remember, a man has only so many fingers.
I'm Harald's sister.
Where's my brother? Is he alive?
-Yes.
-Is he here in the palace?
The guard!
I will post two more guards
who are loyal to me.
Make sure she doesn't do anything stupid.
I know that Ramigani is serious.
That's why I will do what he wants of me.
And then I will die,
when I know that Harald
has left Eschnapur alive.
We will find a way to escape, all of us.
Where do they keep him?
I'm not sure.
We went through many underground passages.
A walk of about 20 minutes.
But I don't know in what direction.
We have a friend,
an architect who knows the palace well.
He's Harald's friend. He will help us.
I hear you spend a lot of time
in the servants' quarters
asking a lot of questions,
questions about certain people.
I remember one of my ancestors
had a servant
whose obedience was doubtful.
He had him bound between two boards
which he then had sawn in two.
I'm watching you, Asagara.
Remember that,
and watch what you say and do.
Go now.
We must try. There's no other way.
I need a doctor. I'm sick.
I will inform His Highness.
He will send one.
Inform His Highness that the dancer
is sick and in need of a doctor.
Help me carry her back in.
The dancer would marry the Maharaja
to save Harald's life.
There's something wrong.
Ramigani can't risk setting Harald free.
He can't have any witnesses of his deceit.
Harald is only safe
as long as Ramigani can use him
to pressure the dancer.
That is, only until the time
she agrees to marry the Maharaja.
-They walked for 20 minutes?
-Yes, approximately.
Main gate, south wall...
No, there are no stairs.
Stables, tiger court...
Too far.
-She said stairs, didn't she?
-Yes, and the walls were wet.
It can only be... here.
In this circle,
that's where we must look for him.
-Did she mention a guard?
-No.
Look, Irene, our chances are pretty small.
We can't count on any help.
What can we do?
If we find him, we flee immediately.
A well-planned escape.
It can only succeed if we are very quick.
An explosion in the right spot
should cause enough confusion
to give us a head start.
-Good morning, Mr. Asagara.
-Good morning, memsahib.
Why are you so formal today, Mr. Asagara?
Sahib, His Highness will be here soon.
Mr. Rhode, II...
I hope I'm not disturbing you.
Not at all, Your Highness.
I was just working on some figures.
The water pressure
on the palace wall is a problem.
Yes, we'll have to do something.
Tell me, Mr. Rhode, what would you say...?
I mean...
Would you still be concerned
about your contract...
if I told you that the woman
for whom you are to build a tomb
is to share the throne
of Eschnapur with me today?
Your Highness,
if this woman will share
the throne with you,
why do you need a tomb?
We all die one day, Mr. Rhode.
And I don't know if I can get
another brilliant architect.
In that case,
I have no problems with the contract.
But I'm worried about
the foundations of the palace.
-There is a grave danger.
-Do whatever is necessary.
Take all the workers
and material that you need.
Repair the damage.
This cave is directly below the main gate.
I'll deposit most of the dynamite here.
Five crates here,
under the guards' quarters.
The rest is already at the weakest spot,
the thin lake wall.
Thanks.
We'll take the batteries.
If it goes off, good night!
We wouldn't need to find an escape route.
That damned screw is loose.
There. Give me some wire.
-Won't it rust down here?
-No, the wire's insulated.
Maybe you should grease the ends a bit.
But I don't know much about it.
I also don't understand
why you need dynamite down here.
Most of the passages
have been dug through the rock.
With controlled explosions,
the collapsed rubble
can be reinforced with cement
and serve to secure the passages.
I hope I didn't scare you, Mrs. Rhode.
Did you see where he came from?
No.
Mr. Asagara!
Tell me, Mr. Asagara,
do you know when His Highness
came down here?
No, sahib.
He just came from the passage over there.
Thank you.
So, he came from over there.
Do you think he came from...?
Maybe.
Look at this, Irene.
I've thought about it.
There's only two possibilities.
Either here or there.
We'll each have to search separately.
Whether we find him... we can only hope.
Now that I'm following your wishes,
keep your promise, Ramigani.
Tell the white sahib that he will be free.
I don't want his suffering
to be prolonged.
I will do as you please.
I'll keep my word.
The dancer wants
the foreigner's suffering to end.
Go to him and end it.
And when you're finished,
remember the crocodiles are always hungry.
It's the dancer's fault
Chandra despises me.
Her influence won't last.
The temple is respected.
Like a tidal wave,
the anger of the people will swell.
-The day will come...
-I can't wait that long.
-Is General Dagh with us?
-It's doubtful.
And the soldiers are loyal to him.
The danger's there.
I wouldn't rush things.
Don't underestimate
the power of the priests.
Don't underestimate Chandra's stupidity.
Can you get some of our men
into the palace unnoticed?
Yes, through the underground passages.
That's the initial surprise.
The rest will follow.
We have brought elephants into the city.
There is no gate that can withstand them.
My only worry is... Dagh.
You take care of him, Ramigani.
He's your problem.
To be Maharaja,
you have to do something for your country.
General Dagh,
my concern for Eschnapur
forces me to do this.
Neither the people
nor the priests will accept it.
A temple dancer,
the mistress of a European.
What would be my part in this?
It is smaller than the reward.
I want the loyalty of the army.
No active part must be taken,
just the necessary restraint
at the critical moment.
As long as I can carry a sword,
there will be no rebellion.
Irene, could you pass me those tables?
How stupid of me.
I must have left it upstairs.
-Mr. Asagara.
-Yes, memsahib?
-Would you be kind enough...?
-Certainly, I'll get them.
Where are they?
-You'll have to look.
-Where did you put them?
I'll find them.
I'll bring you a warm jacket.
Thank you, Mr. Asagara.
Quick!
Here's the plan. Now listen...
I'll take the left side and you the right.
Whenever you change direction,
indicate it with an arrow.
Harald?
Harald!
Help, Walter!
Asagara!
Help!
Walter!
This way, memsahib. Hurry! This way.
Miss Irene, come this way!
Run straight ahead.
Quick, they're coming!
Mr. Asagara!
Irene!
My God, Irene, what happened?
Asagara's in that tunnel. He...
Walter, I saw Harald.
But he disappeared.
-You must have imagined it.
-No, I'm sure.
Calm down, Irene.
Irene.
You can't go into the palace.
It's full of guards. You're safe here.
I must do something. Seetha is suffering.
But she's not in danger right now.
Time is on her side.
And now that you're free
it's on our side as well.
We have no time.
When Ramigani finds out I've escaped
he'll send all his men after us.
He knows I'll help Seetha
so he'll closely guard her.
You're in greater danger.
It won't help her if...
Wait.
Ramigani and Padhu,
the dead Maharani's brother.
What does that mean?
I'll find out. You stay here.
We've tried to make him reconsider.
We have no choice.
To prevent an uprising in Eschnapur,
we must intervene ourselves.
I didn't think
he would let it come to this.
The gods have abandoned him.
The priests cannot follow
his blasphemous path.
Wait.
His Highness,
Maharaja Chandra of Eschnapur,
Raja of Peshawar and Uttar,
Gaekwad of Dahlor, proclaims
that he has chosen a new Maharani.
-It is the will of the gods.
-No!
The gods were not consulted.
It is against their will
and against the will of the priests!
Priest!
There is but one will in Eschnapur,
as you will find out.
You have transgressed.
You are unworthy to rule Eschnapur.
Your Highness!
Foreign horsemen are attacking
the palace guards.
Your reign is over, Chandra.
Surrender, lay down your arms.
Tie him up!
My hour has come, Chandra.
Take him to the tiger court!
That's the chain my sister wore.
Little dove...
I love beautiful women,
but if they cause trouble,
I take care of them my way.
Bhowana, take four of my soldiers.
Take her to her quarters.
I'll have your head if she escapes.
The dancer belongs to the temple.
We had an agreement regarding the dancer.
I said... this is my hour.
Do as I commanded.
You can have both
when I'm finished with them.
Chandra.
Your darlings, they're waiting for you.
You're proud, Chandra.
But I will break your pride.
Go on! Flog him till he...
Surrender! The rebellion has been crushed.
We have taken back the palace.
Lay down your arms.
Harald.
Seetha.
Go back to the holy books, Samisi.
Someone has come who will take your place.
He has renounced the world
and is humbly searching for peace.
I no longer need you.
I am thirsty.
Bring me water, Chandra.
THE END
