Another game?

Sure, for a rematch.

Is it really necessary?

I don't play twice, with the same deck of cards.

I don't like new cards.

They're so unpleasant.

You didn't do it on purpose, right?

- You know you've risked your life? - Yeah, you too.

For a dancer?

Let's say... for a principle.

-Shall we continue? - I was going to propose that.

Enough.

I'm going to sleep.

A good game, exciting, you haven't had any luck, Alan.

And to think that I have taught yourself this game, to screw you.

Here's the account of the tokens, sahib, if you want to check.

Okay... I trust you.

Take him to bed and tomorrow execute the orders.

Yes, your Highness.

Good night.

HUMMING.

Sahib!

Sahib!

Whoever you are, go to hell and let me sleep!

What the hell...

I'm sorry sahib, but it is something very urgent.

His Highness wants you to pay the debt of the game.

Now? The debt of the game?

What trick is this?

It is His Highness wish and therefore...

... can not be discussed, or postponed.

And neither my sleep.

There is the coat, take what you want and let me sleep.

You again?

What else do you want? Didn't you take the money?

- Yes, sahib, exactly 130 rupees. - So what?

Making a rough calculation, which is an approximation...

... it's missing a million rupees...

or rather, $ 250,000 USD.

What? One million rupees?

Are you kidding?

No, sahib. You can check all the papers signed.

No... tell your boss that's all the money I have.

If it is enough, fine, otherwise...

Otherwise, I can not help.

His Highness expected this.

Sahib.

What does this mean?

A gift from His Highness, the last.

You mean...

A broke gentleman with no choice to save the honor.

I have no intention to save my honor.

His Highness also expected this, urging me...

... not to allow sahib, for the sake of hospitality...

... to destroy your reputation.

A suicide?

Not sahib, an unpleasant duty.

Where is Sirdar, I want to talk to him immediately.

His Highness is in the garden but has nothing to tell you.

GESTURE OF DECEPTION

Go to hell!

Sirdar!

Sirdar!

Don't shout like that, Alan, you scare my little friends.

Do not shout? I was drawn into a trap and threatened with death...

... by that band of murderers!

I have the right to ask the payment of your debt, no?

I thought we were friends.

But I am your friend, Alan.

Forgive me, if you had won, wouldn't you have asked the money?

- Sure. - And why should I not do the same?

But can't you...

... be happy with 130 rupees?

Don't play with me, Alan!

To forget your debt, you should give me at least...

The Mountain Of Light.

The Mountain Of Light? What is it?

Don't tell me you don't know what is, The Mountain of Light.

Never heard.

Alan, I know you ran away from America and are wanted...

... in connection to the robbery of the Central Bank of New York.

You know that I'm innocent, otherwise, wouldn't allow a thief in the palace.

Will you pay off your debt?

Give me 24 hours.

Of course.

What a shame... your greed has destroyed our friendship.

I'll send a telegram to my banker in New Delhi...

... to deposit in your account, your dirty money.

Very well. I count on your punctuality.

We rely on your punctuality.

Oh, it's you, little rascal.

Come here if you don't want to get a spanking.

- Peace? - Peace, come down.

- One rupee, sahib. - I have nothing.

One rupee.

I told you no.

Half.

Not a damn. You do not believe, but I'm broke.

You're lying. The white sahib are very rich.

Unfortunately not all.

- What kind of place is this? - That is Shakti.

- Do you live there? - No, I am the son of everybody.

I am a great sorcerer. - You?

Yes.

INDISTINCT SPEAKING WITH BACKGROUND MUSIC

INDISTINCT SPEAKING WITH BACKGROUND MUSIC

Hey!

He is a very holy man.

He's praying.

He speaks directly to the gods.

Sometimes he stays like that throughout the whole day.

Why do you disturb my meditations?

It is a Sahib, master.

White man. Liar, non-believer, impure.

Sorry if I meddled between you and the gods.

Why, you have doubts?

A charlatan like you, can fool the Indians, but not me.

Are you challenging me?

Watch this.

Climb up, little friend.

Are you convinced, sahib?

It's a trick.

I'll show you something harder, watch.

I'll stick this nail in the neck...

... and make it out on the other side. Just a little mistake ...

... and I die.

I will do it if you give me a 1000 rupees.

It would be fun, but I have none.

What does a white man in India, with no money?

The same as you, tries to make money.

Who has a gun is not poor.

The gun is the last thing that is sold.

I could pay you a fortune.

Why do you want a gun?

The good road, sometimes is full of dangers.

How much would you pay?

Are you hungry... like me, sahib,...

... come, with a full belly we'll discuss better?

Magnificent gun, sahib.

Never seen anything like it in all India.

How many shots can be fired without loading?

Has a bullet in the chamber and six in the charger.

I want it, sahib. How much do you want?

10,000 rupees.

It's a lot for a poor fakir.

Too bad.

5000 rupees, sahib...

... is not enough? - No.

You're smart. So be it.

I'll give you the 10,000 rupees.

How do you have so much money, charlatan?

Did I ask why you have so little?

Good answer, Sitama. But no tricks.

Sahib, how can you doubt a man of God?

Stop, man of God!

Bravo Sitama, you're also fisherman.

I didn't think you had such a light sleep.

Blame it on the bugs, they are very hungry.

They're pesky critters.

Let's bet the gun against your 10,000 rupees?

My religion forbids gambling.

Too bad.

It was the way to get the gun without spending a penny.

I could make an exception to the rule.

The gods, when the cause is good, sometimes can be...

... very understanding.

Do you know how to play poker?

A bit.

One try.

My gun...

... against your rupees.

One card, sahib...

A sip of arak? - After.

SNEEZING

One.

I'm lucky, sahib.

A poker of aces.

It was a good game, sahib.

Leave the gun.

But I won, sahib. - With my cards!

Sahib, I protest, it was a clean game.

So clean, as to shoot in your legs.

What a crook, and I thought that you were brave.

Oh, sahib...

... I'm very brave, certainly you can't compete with me.

But I appreciated your technique.

Really great for a white man.

Hey.

Goodbye, sahib.

It was a pleasure to see you.

What do you want?
