The Dead 2: India Page #4

Hold tight.

Get down!

Hey, come on!

Hey! Jaldi. Jaldi!

Jesus Christ.

Javed!

- Hey! Hey!

- Come on.

Jaldi!

It's jammed. Come on. The window.

Come on.

Okay. We should rest.

Come on.

That is one of the Jataka legend.

It tell us a story of wealthy king

who fall in love with poor girl.

They have child together.

This angered the elders,

who demand he marry the one

they chose to be the queen.

He refuses, promising to

be with his love forever.

The elders grant him his wish.

They take his title, his wealth

and bury them alive in

a tomb for all eternity.

Many years later,

this tomb was opened...

but no bodies are found.

It was a hunters lodge.

I know there were guns

in here somewhere.

Wait, wait, wait.

Wait.

I don't like this.

Javed.

Javed.

I think it's up here.

All right.

All right.

All right, all right, slowly.

There. There it is.

All right.

I'm sorry, Mr. Nicholas.

I promise it was here.

All right.

Let's go.

Get on. Quick.

Stay by the bike.

Come on.

I saw him die.

Why is this happening to us?

I-I don't know.

Does this mean everything we

have been taught is wrong?

To live many lives,

our soul reincarnating again and

again until it becomes perfect?

That's what you always taught us.

Is this Brahma's idea of perfection?

Don't talk like that.

Then how should I speak?

You see what's happening out there.

You're a preacher, Father.

You have taught us.

You have taught others.

Is this the karma we

have created for ourself?

This mindless, walking death?

Is this the perfection of the soul

that we have been striving to

achieve for thousands of years?!

The soul is eternal,

but these things...

I see in their eyes there is no soul.

Whatever is happening

must still be part of Brahma's plan.

How can this evil

be part of any plan?

Maybe that is exactly

what it is, a plan.

Maybe mankind must

endure this process

to achieve its karmic balance.

True reincarnation, the soul

enters into many bodies,

assumes many forms, and passes

through many rebirths and deaths.

Maybe this is just one such form.

Mankind is going through

a great change, a rebirth.

Yes, it is painful,

but look at what mankind

has done with all its sins.

Maybe we have brought

this upon ourselves.

Stop! Please stop!

You okay? What's wrong?

What's wrong? Javed?

Javed?

Javed?

At the orphanage, when I

would go to fetch water,

I would always look for these.

This was always my favorite.

It's good.

It's really good.

- Mr. Nicholas...

- Mm-hmm.

...why did you come to India?

I'm an engineer, electrical engineer.

I was offered a contract,

opportunity of a lifetime,

such a beautiful place.

We build wind farms,
