Original subtitles

Mm-mmm.

There are no fucking rules!

Fight!

Sir, Tiger, sir.

King Kobra! King Kobra! King Kobra!

Tiger, I love you!

King Kobra! King Kobra!

King Kobra! King Kobra! King Kobra! King Kobra!

Whoo!

Good evening.

That's what I'm talking about.

Welcome to Tiger's Temple.

This is a sacred space.

Because some of us here are Muslim.

Some of us are Hindu.

Fuck, maybe there's a closet Christian hiding somewhere there under the rafters.

But we here all worship one god:

the Indian rupee!

The winner, the killer of the beast,

King Kobra!

Look at this maderchod. Look at this.

That's the smell of victory right there.

- Do you smell it? - King Kobra!

'Cause I fucking smell it!

This is a champion. This is...

Fucking hell, guys. What a night, eh?

You hear that? They fucking hate you.

It's incredible.

What a night.

Sarishan, what's this fucking stomach?

Too many samosas.

You're the Lizard King, not the fucking Samosa King, okay?

This fucking tap!

Aziz, the fucking tap came off in my hands again, man.

Come here.

Look here. What's that?

That fucking stays on. You know what my water bill is for that?

Fix the fucking tap. Please.

I ask just for a little bit of fucking cleanliness.

A little bit of personal hygiene. Yes, what?

Yeah. All right.

Don't spend it all at once, eh?

Tiger. Tiger, this is half.

What? That's what you got last time.

What, are you saving for a better place to live?

You want another 50%, you bleed.

That's why it's called the bleed bonus.

I need that money.

Then dance.

Don't look at me like that.

You chose the name.

You're like those little monkeys, you know, in the marketplace.

That little... with a little pink skirt.

That's you.

Put on a show, get the money.

There's hundreds of okes out there that'll do this, eh... hundreds...

waiting to take your place if this isn't for you.

Baba Shakti.

Guru, man of peace, the nation's lion.

Born to poverty but not held captive by it.

Indeed, Baba Shakti is now likely to be seen in the temples of the elite

than at the temples of the gods,

rubbing shoulders with the rich and powerful.

Are these the simple actions of a man made good...

I leave politics to the politicians.

... or the start of a push for political power

through his endorsement of the controversial Sovereign Party?

If I see a God-fearing man who is doing good for India,

I will support him.

He has dismissed rumors that his factory...

First class, bro.

Eh! Make it a double.

So?

Lucky, Lucky, Lucky.

This is who you want.

Queenie Kapoor, the queen of Kings.

Friday afternoon,

she had a massage and pedicure at Body Tonic.

Most of the mornings, she stops at a Café d'ltalia for coffee.

- D'ltalia? - Yeah.

She'll be there tomorrow.

- Ayurvedic wisdom... - Okay.

- is thousands of years old. - Good job.

Who are we to question the gods?

Yes. On the dinner table, it was like a verbal contract.

I don't have any mail.

Yeah. I don't have any... any mail...

Please, please, madam.

Please, please, madam.

I'm... Ow!

Oh, my God.

How can you allow these guys here?

What kind of a place are you running?

Madam?

Yeah?

Where did you find this?

Some men were fighting over it next to, uh, JV Road

near Café d'ltalia.

I tried to rush in, and, uh, um,

they fought back and, uh...

- Take this. - I-I...

I don't... I don't want charity.

Wh-What I need is a... is a job.

This is Kings.

We just don't hire off the street.

Where's your references?

Your CV? Hmm?

Look, I don't have time for all this.

This.

There's my CV.

That's bleach.

Chemical, oil.

Give me the job no one wants to do.

I'll do it.

No complaint.

This is all I know.

Yeah.

No. Uh, no, no. Listen.

I actually liked this one from Indonesia.

Is she broken in?

No, th-that's fine, but I just want to know if, uh...

How quickly can we get her papers?

Hmm?

Anyone who talks outside these walls,

anyone who forgets their place,

it doesn't turn out well for them.

Understood?

Understood.

New guy, huh?

What's your name?

Bobby.

Hmm.

Wear your cap properly.

We don't want one of your pubes in the curry...

Bobby.

I think we met before, right?

I-I don't think so.

You like tequila, huh, Bobby?

Patrón, Don Julio,

the one with George Clooney in the photo?

I just want to clean the dishes, okay?

Coke? Morphine? MDMA?

Oi, Alphonso, eh, I've told you many times to stop hassling my staff.

Quality control, man.

You're gonna thank me for this one day.

Stay cool, Bobby.

Stay cool, hmm?

Watch my fucking leg, man.

Paan.

Is this all you got?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

'Cause I got an answer to every prayer.

You like John Wick? 'Cause this just came in.

Yeah.

The TTI.

Same gun from the movie.

But made in China.

Boom.

I want something small but effective.

.38 caliber revolver.

It's a little bit heavy, but it's got a lot of thump.

You need to be pretty close.

Close is good.

I'll take it.

Staff entrance. Copy.

Copy. Staff entrance secured.

Huh?

Huh?

Okay, okay. Don't cry.

Yeah?

You're fucking killing me, Rahul.

No, no, no. Uh-uh.

Listen to me...

You call Evgeni and tell that motherfucker to find another source.

They're fuck all. Fuck all.

Fuck all. You understand "fuck all"?

No, no, no. No, no. Listen, listen.

I have a reputation to protect, understand?

What the fuck is your problem?

How many times do I have to tell you

fucking knock on the door and enter...

Sorry. Nishit said you needed me.

I need you to learn some manners,

you inbred little goat fucker.

Rahul, I'll have to call you back.

Listen, go to Naqeeb and pick up some Kashmiri snowflake.

Good stuff, okay? None of that cheap shit.

But the problem is, uh, quality control, it's no good.

Naqeeb has some issue with me, you know?

I don't know whether it's the Christian-Muslim thing

- or what, but... - Hey.

You. Face the wall.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Tell Naqeeb, if the maal is good...

we'll buy some more for Chief Rana.

Get it sorted by the weekend.

He is coming with his boys.

- Hey, Alphonso. - Hmm?

Only the best...

to serve the VIPs.

Yeah. Got it.

Alphonso. Alphonso.

Hey, uh, good job with Queenie, huh? She really respects you.

What do you want?

Um, look, if you... if you...

Look, if you need any help with the VIPs...

Look, I'm just saying, if you need someone to go in and do the job...

Does it look like I need some help from someone like you?

- Hey. - Is there... What the fuck, man?

Okay, okay. I'm sorry.

Look, you want to make some money?

Guaranteed?

- Go on. - Okay.

Uh...

Come to this place tonight.

Bet on Khan. You'll make a killing.

How the fuck do you know?

I-I'll be fighting him.

Fuck off.

The monkey will win the first two rounds

and go down in the third.

What's in it for you?

I want a promotion.

Drill him! That's it!

Kill him, boy!

Get it!

Drill him! Don't just stand there!

Get back, drill him!

Hit me! Hit me!

Harder!

Come on! Harder! Hit me!

Don't just stand there, mate! Give him some of that Kong shit.

Fucking yes! Fucking yes!

Fuck yes! Whoo! You fucking beauty!

Mwah!

Get this fucking monkey off here.

Guys, get the monkey off here.

The winner, the killer of the beast,

Sher Khan!

Make sure the drinks never dry up.

Eyes to the ground unless someone calls you,

then you will get over there like you got a chili up your asshole.

You see that? That's the defense minister.

He always has a mushroom steak followed by a threesome.

This one just likes to watch.

But he's the head of the tax office, so anything is allowed, you know?

A very good evening, Mr. Gupta.

Hope you are having a good time.

Enjoy.

Filthy bastard.

You're looking beautiful today, huh?

Hey... You see those yellow fellas over there?

That's Mr. Takahata.

He always asks Queenie for the special menu.

We've got girls from all over the world, man.

Dubai, Russia, Singapore.

There's a dish to please every king. Look.

He's about to receive a gift from heaven.

Here she is... Sylvia.

Former Miss Lithuania.

She's come down to guide him to the afterlife.

Come on. That's Mirza.

The boss of the bosses.

He runs everything in this town, man.

Drugs, property, import, export.

You name it.

What about the cops?

They're the dirtiest fuckers.

You know what I'm meaning.

And Chief Rana?

Up in the VIP room.

He loves the sugar.

Isn't she beautiful?

I call her Nicki.

Minaj.

Big bumper, nice headlights.

Huh? Come on, brother.

Let's boogie.

- Seat belt, buddy. - What for?

This for.

What happened to your hands?

They're fucked up, bro.

Car crash. Engine caught fire.

Bullshit.

I know what that is.

Too much pocket pinball, huh?

You know what I'm meaning.

But you're living the life, bro.

We're rolling with the kings now, huh?

They don't even see us.

They're all up there living,

and we're stuck here in this.

That's no life, bro.

So, what are you gonna do about this, Monkey Man?

Huh?

Bought myself a bit of land over here down south.

- You like that? - Mm-hmm.

Mate.

What are you doing?

That's red wine.

Yes, sir.

Well, that's a white wine glass.

Who is this guy, huh?

Can we get somebody over here who knows...

Tell me more about your trip, baby.

No.

No, no, no, no, no.

I, uh...

I want to know about you.

What's this?

Little birdie?

- It's a sparrow. - Want to fly away, do you?

Queenie was right.

You are not like the other girls.

I'll treat you like an angel.

My Indian princess.

We can fuck right here.

Not here, baby.

Ma!

Ma!

How did you get in?

No, no. Come.

Come, come. Good girl.

There you go. There you go. Good girl.

You like that?

That's good. You like that?

She'd better.

It's 4,000 rupees a plate.

This is not the place to work if you can't handle that sort of stuff.

It's not a sparrow.

Your tattoo.

It's a koel.

I grew up in the forest.

Every day, I would wake up to them singing.

Stop feeding that dog.

It's gonna keep coming back expecting more.

Just gives her hope.

Next.

Sit. Sit. Sit.

What the fuck you doing, man?

- For the dog. - Come on, man. Let's boogie.

Sit.

Baba Shakti today held a public prayer

for victims of the ongoing land disputes,

advocating that violence is never the answer.

Elsewhere, the transgender inhabitants in Yatana's northern district

have been filmed being attacked by officers.

Chief of Police Rana Singh assured the public

that the culprits will be brought to justice.

You're supposed to be a monkey.

Do you know a chimpanzee can rip a fucking human being's face off?

Get out there and fucking behave like a fucking beast.

Check.

Good girl.

There you go.

Good girl.

Where the fuck you been, man?

I nearly finished it all waiting for you.

You ready?

Let's boogie.

This guy. Come on.

Hey, Fresca.

Brought you a new boyfriend.

Welcome to heaven, baby.

Penthouse.

Only Queenie can go up. Come on.

Get busy.

Mwah.

Huh?

Here, sir.

Come here, baby.

Who the fuck are you, you little rat?

Hey!

Hey! Hey! Bobby, wait!

Get in!

Out of all the fucking cars in there, you stole mine?

Alphonso, shut up!

What the fuck did you do, man?

- Fuck! Fuck! - What were you thinking, man?

- Oh, man. Fuck, fuck. - Fuck!

Stop the vehicle now!

Ah, fuck.

- What do I press? - Put the fucking gear, brother!

Fuck!

Fuck, man!

- Duck, duck, duck, duck! - Fuck!

Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck, man!

Fuck!

Oh!

Fuck.

Turbo! Turbo!

Fuck!

Fuck. Oh, man.

- Did we lose them? - Drive! Just drive!

Look out!

Bobby, get up, man. Come on.

I am sorry, bro.

I am sorry.

Stubborn bastard, isn't he?

The boss is gonna eat him alive.

He's not going to spare him.

Fuck.

You want to fuck, huh?

You want to fuck, motherfucker, huh?

You bring the police to my place, huh?

How dare you.

Hey. Easy.

Target in sight.

Hmm.

Um...

You're okay.

You're okay.

You're awake.

Finally.

Beautiful.

Isn't she?

Parvati and Shiva.

One half devotion,

the other destruction.

Male.

Female.

Neither.

Both.

Some people find that...

strange.

But we hijras understand it completely.

Who are you?

I'm Alpha, the keeper of the temple.

Careful! Careful!

Why did you help me?

You should've died from those injuries.

The gods must have a greater plan for you.

We all have scars.

I should go.

No. I wouldn't do that.

The police are looking for you.

All over town.

But not here.

They find us too...

unsettling.

Stay with us.

Rest.

You need to heal.

Maybe she'll speak to you.

Shakti! Shakti! Shakti!

Shakti! Shakti! Shakti! Shakti!

Shakti! Shakti! Shakti!

Shakti! Shakti! Shakti! Shakti!

Shakti! Shakti! Shakti!

Shakti! Shakti! Shakti! Shakti! Shakti!

Who is he?

He's a nobody.

Just some crazy kid from the gutter.

People once said that about me.

And now look at you.

You're the nation's lion.

You said he spoke of his mother.

Rana...

in the great tapestry of life,

just one small ember can burn down everything.

The very idea of him

has to be extinguished.

Find him.

Before your nobody becomes a somebody.

The trail of destruction started with a murder attempt

on Yatana's chief of police, Rana Singh,

by a terrorist posing as a member of staff.

A citywide manhunt is underway for the terrorist

and his known associates.

Security has been raised for the upcoming elections,

which are occurring on the country's most auspicious day.

Thank you.

So, uh...

Now they are okay.

But...

And that is why she ran away with the priest.

Funny, huh?

Still can't sleep?

I never sleep.

Voices in your head?

Just one.

Her scream.

It's been inside me my whole life.

Come with me.

We were warriors before they drove us into exile here.

The Vedas speak of a tree

that was supposedly planted by Lord Shiva...

the destroyer of worlds.

I was once like you.

A broken man.

A slave to childhood terrors.

I learned that you need to destroy in order to grow.

To create space for new life.

Mmm. Here we go.

Within its root lies a potent toxin.

We call it Trishul after Shiva's trident.

It will cut you open.

Only a weakened man can benefit from this.

Only a strong man can survive it.

Are you ready?

Yes.

The pain...

It will leave you once it's finished teaching you.

Huh?

I failed her.

No.

You tried to save her.

You see scars.

I see the courage of a child fighting to save his mother.

These are the hands of a warrior

who's destined to challenge the gods.

All your life, you've been fighting to feel pain.

You need to fight for a purpose.

Fight... for all of us.

It's time to remember who you are.

As the Sovereign Party climbs in the polls,

allegations have surfaced

that you destroyed 200 acres of forestland to build your mega factory.

It's not a factory.

It's a commune.

And what about the farmers that have been displaced?

Ah.

The land was barren and empty.

Few families who lived there have joined the cause.

And workers who complain of horrible working conditions?

They aren't workers.

They are my disciples.

Yeah.

Hmm.

Ah.

A surge of sectarian violence has exploded around the country

after divisive remarks made by Adesh Joshi.

International leaders have condemned the violence against minorities

but have stopped short of criticizing the candidate as he climbs in the polls.

Close your eyes,

and you will find yourself

sitting atop a mighty tree.

This is your home.

You are a beast.

Look beneath the surface,

and you will see roots deep under the soil,

reaching far and wide.

These are the roots of your ancestors,

the soul of your mother.

Listen to her.

You have nothing to fear.

You've been here for time.

People of Yatana...

Baba Shakti!

Shakti! Shakti! Shakti!

Shakti! Shakti! Shakti! Shakti!

Shakti! Shakti! Shakti!

Shakti! Shakti! Shakti!

I am nobody.

I am nothing.

I didn't choose this path.

You chose it for me.

Change never comes without a fight.

I want you to choose another of God's men.

He's one of us.

He is Adesh Joshi,

leader of Sovereign Party.

He will fight with us, for us, for you.

The working man, the poor, the sick.

Shower him with your love

and let our voice be heard throughout the nation.

They have destroyed

our sacred values.

They have stolen our homes,

poisoned our children's minds.

They have polluted us with their symbols,

their false idols.

We have been blinded.

Will you stand with us?

Will you bleed with us?

Will you?

Will you?

Lakshmi!

Tell me what happened to Lakshmi.

- Lakshmi! - Lakshmi!

- Lakshmi. - Are you okay, Lakshmi?

What happened? What happened?

These men put a notice on the door.

She tried to take it down, but they beat her.

She's not breathing. Breathe, Lakshmi, breathe.

Did you see? Did you see who it was?

Shakti's men.

They said the temple never belonged to us.

Alpha, where will we go?

If we don't have money, they will keep doing this.

We cannot pay off some thugs.

We all must pray.

Lakshmi!

God has a plan.

We have the election results due to break during Diwali festival.

Sovereign Party supporters are flooding the streets

with the party expecting a landslide victory.

- Baba! - Shakti!

- Baba! - Shakti!

- Baba! Baba! - Shakti! Shakti!

Ladies and gentlemen!

Are you ready for a fucking fight?

Put it on the monkey.

On my left,

the still undisputed champion of all of India,

the s-s-s-s-snake...

King Kobra!

King Kobra! King Kobra!

Okay, settle down.

Settle down, you animals.

Settle down.

From His Majesty

all the way to the deepest, darkest jungles

of my mother Africa...

I hunted him down.

I...

darted him myself...

and I brought him all the way here for your entertainment.

He's evil.

He's ferocious.

He's a dark destroyer.

I give you...

Kong!

Do you want to see these two animals fight?

The snake and the monkey.

Fight!

King Kobra! King Kobra!

King Kobra! King Kobra! King Kobra! King Kobra!

Ooh, I smell it.

I smell it.

- Hey. - What's going on?

Did he fucking knock him out?

Kobra, get up.

You get him fucking up right now.

I will fuck...

Grab his arms and take him off.

Wow, eh?

Wow.

That was a surprise.

Fucking lucky kick, eh?

Looks like we got a cheeky little monkey on our hands tonight.

Kill the beast!

Kill the beast! Kill the beast! Kill the beast!

Ladies and gentlemen...

I give you the biggest, the baddest,

the bone crushing...

Bhalu the Bear!

Fuck him up.

Fucking smash his head in, okay?

Get in there and fucking pummel him.

Go. Go.

Fuck him up.

Smack him in the fucking cock!

Come on!

Drill him!

Drill his fucking skull in!

Drill him in the fucking face!

Go on, smack him, Bhalu!

Come on, then!

Go on, Monkey Man! Yes!

Kill the beast! Kill the beast!

Kill the beast! Kill the beast! Kill the beast! Kill the beast!

Kill the beast! Kill the beast! Kill the beast!

Kill the beast! Kill the beast! Kill the beast!

Kill the beast! Kill the beast! Kill the beast!

Kill the beast! Kill the beast!

Hail Monkey Man!

Monkey Man! Monkey Man!

Monkey Man! Monkey Man! Monkey Man!

Monkey Man! Monkey Man!

Monkey Man! Monkey Man! Monkey Man! Monkey Man!

Monkey Man! Monkey Man! Monkey Man!

Monkey Man! Monkey Man! Monkey Man!

Monkey Man! Monkey Man!

Monkey Man! Monkey Man! Monkey Man! Monkey Man!

Monkey Man! Monkey Man! Monkey Man!

Monkey Man! Monkey Man! Monkey Man! Monkey Man!

Monkey Man! Monkey Man! Monkey Man!

Monkey Man! Monkey Man! Monkey Man!

Monkey Man! Monkey Man! Monkey Man! Monkey Man!

Monkey Man! Monkey Man! Monkey Man!

Monkey Man! Monkey Man! Monkey Man! Monkey Man!

Monkey Man! Monkey Man! Monkey Man!

Alpha.

Take a look.

What is that?

Take a look.

- There's a note. - There's a note.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my, my.

I mean, look at this.

Whoa.

- Who sent us this? - Wow.

It's money.

Baba!

Baba! Baba!

Baba Shakti! Baba Shakti!

Baba Shakti! Baba Shakti!

Baba Shakti! Baba Shakti! Baba Shakti!

Baba Shakti! Baba Shakti!

Listen up, everyone, if anybody fucks up tonight,

if anybody messes up, if I get a single complaint,

I'll fuck your happiness.

Stop staring at me! First course out right now!

It's brilliant. Very good.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, what an honor it is to be here

with the Sovereign Party on the cusp of our historic victory.

One day, the maharajas on these walls

will be replaced with portraits

of each and every one of you.

Hey, smart-ass.

Staff entrance.

We will rid Mother India of her scars

and make her beautiful once more.

I would like to acknowledge

the great contribution of a mighty chief of police,

Rana Singh.

His courage and integrity

has led to Yatana's lowest crime rate.

Hey!

- Oh, shit! - Shit!

There is this one other person

without whose blessing we would not be here.

My guru.

My mentor.

His Holiness, India's lion,

Baba Shak...

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Get him upstairs. Get him upstairs.

Hey! Hey!

Go.

You motherfucker!

Don't fuck with me!

I'll kill you, you bastard!

I'm gonna blow your fucking...

Finally out of your tree, huh?

Get up.

Did your mother send you back for more, huh?

Welcome, Queenie.

So, you are the one?

Look at them all.

Diwali.

The triumph of light over darkness.

The defeat of Ravan.

But Ravan was no demon.

He was a scholar.

A visionary.

He built an empire from nothing.

Why not end this cycle of violence?

Or we will be trapped in it for generations.

Do you even know my mother's name?

Do you know any of their names?

Anger will not quiet your soul, my son.

Don't call me "son."

These were carved by a devout follower

who wore them to prevent his feet from harming any small creature.

On the side here, there's an old prayer:

"Forgive me, Mother Earth, for the sin of injury

which I inflict with each step."

My chariot is here.

You can't. These people need me.

Please.

I'll give you what you want.

I'll do anything.

Forgive me.

Ha-Ha-Have mercy, please.

Only God can forgive you now.
