What has happened?

Murder! Murder. Thakur-ji!

Murder.

Savage sahib.

- What is it. Daffadar?

What have you found?

- Found nothing.

What do we do?

- Keep digging. Dig until I tell you to stop.

Do you understand?

- Yes. sahib.

What news. Thakur-ji?

Have you questioned the ferryman?

Yes. sahib.

He says he saw 12 - 13 men

with an old Rajput and his two sons...

go across the river yesterday afternoon.

But since then. he's seen no one.

Can you be certain of what you saw.

Savage sahib?

It was dark. Perhaps you were mistaken.

Of course he's certain.

- Sahib.! Sahib.!

What is it?

Well. don't stop. man. Keep looking.

Look. There's more.

It's an old grave. perhaps.

After a battle or sickness.

When there's nobody to burn the dead.

I told you to keep digging.

It's desecration. Savage sahib.

- Do as the lord says.

Yes. Thakur-ji.

Come here. Come here.

Give me - Give me that. Move. Move.

The Rajput.

They're here. Thakur-ji.

They're all here.

Sixty-eight people.

Perhaps more.

We can't count the bones.

Some have been here for centuries.

These robbers are

cruel and ungodly people.

Robbers?

No. Not just robbers.

Look for yourself.

They're all the same.

All strangled.

then gutted with these staves.

Their arms and legs...

broken and folded back

so they fill the space of a child.

Ritual killings.

No dacoit has ever done that.

Then who's done it?

I don't know. Thakur-ji.

I don't know.

but I'm going to find out.

Sahib. Over here. Come quickly.!

Sahib. Look.

Oh. dear God.

Dear God. Maunsell.

Keep those men moving.

All of them. All of them.

I swear by all the gods, sahib.

I know nothing of these men. Nothing.

That's enough. Corporal. take him away.

Thank you, Your Honor-

What good is it. sahib?

They're angry and frightened.

They will say nothing.

- Well. they must know something.

I therefore take it they're lying.

All of them!

Sahib.

- Yes, I know. The end of my district.

But we have no right!

- Stop telling me my job. Daffadar!

Come on!

Stop. No. Stay!

Do not kill me. lord.

We thought you were... dacoit bandits.

What is your name?

Hus - Hussein.

Hussein.

- Your profession?

No lies now.

I'm a jewel carrier. sir.

These are mine.

Get up.

Get up!

A month ago you came from Madhya

on the ferry...

with a party of Rajputs. yes?

No. sahib.

I come from Balaghat.

and I go to Agra.

You're a liar!

No. sahib.

- Savage sahib.

Savage sahib. we've got them all.

Good. Take them all back to Madhya.

- But. sahib. they don't belong -

That's an order. Daffadar!

Yes. sahib.

You were there

when the Rajputs were murdered.

Hmm?

Who is Ali?

Look at me. Hussein.

Look at me!
