in the ring, we're equal.

With or without claws?

I can be lethal enough

without them.

Good.

You do that again,

you'll have no arms.

Forgive me, sahib.

Good fight, kumar.

We have some work to discuss.

Will you join me tonight?

People say I think

too much about women.

What is there more important

to think about?

To our great king.

Started off a great warrior,

ended as an insect sucking

on a poppy flower.

Vazir.

Captured. You draw

the fleeting moment.

Show me the eternal.

You did make love to maya, then?

You know her name?

I know everything.

Answer me.

I' m waiting.

Work can only be an act of love.

You will go to china

to fetch another,

you clumsy son of a whore!

Yes, sahib. Right away.

I have found your girl, kumar.

Sit, sit.

I tell you she governs me

And winds me up

at a whim.

My moods depend on her.

I want to open my eyes

to her under me...

in the morning.

You should be given an audience

with her, kumar.

I want you to carve her

across the roof of my room...

but if I was god, I' d carve her

across the bright blue sky.

Poison.

Bitter as bile.

But when taken from childhood,

it makes you immune from enemies.

My raj...

all my life...

I have lived with your used things.

Now all your life, you'll use mine.

So...

tell me, are you happy now?

Tara...

I was young.

I had no idea then

that what I did that night

would change your life forever...

And mine, too.

You got what you wanted.

He desires you.

At least one of us is happy.

Do you think that just

because the king desires me,

it makes me happy?

Does it not?

No, tara, it does not.

Sometimes...

when I catch a glimpse

of the world out side...

trees, sky...

I wish we were free like

when we were children.

Tara...

you meet again.

Enchanted.

What shall I do?

Will you dance?

I like this position.

I did not agree to sculpting

by committee, sahib.

Allow me the honor of a...

an artist's privacy.

I love you.

You love only yourself.

How naive of me.

Maya.

Maya.

Forgive me, please.

I was afraid of losing control.

Maya.

You hurt me.

I belong to him now.

No.

I belong to you.

I made a mistake.

Take me back.

Jai...

I marry you...

you marry me.

I marry you...

you marry me.

Dr. Mani, we believe Queen tara

is hysterical.

We found her flushed

And without breath.

Her body does not keep

from twisting.

Have the spirit possessed her?

I want to know.

Her heart, please.

So?

Her pulse...

it's normal.

Examining.

Examining.

Sahib.

It seems the opium

has made you half a man.

You cannot pass her over.

I've heard rumors

that her own brother's being

courted by the shah.

Invaders like the shah,

with or without that hunch back
