All language subtitles for Taj EP8

Had I had known she was your Mother,

I would not have made
the blow so vicious.

My intention was to protect
you and your father.

Abul Fazl, have you not caused
enough distress for one lifetime?

I mean him well.

With sympathisers like you,

who needs enemies?

Leave us be. He is mine to counsel.

I shall take your leave then.

That goes for you too.

I came as soon as
I received your message.

It's all over Badayuni.

Nothing to look forward to.

Everywhere I look,
there are people I cannot trust.

My whole life has been
nothing but one endless lie.

Then seek the truth.

Purge the liars and infidels.

Overcome this unrest.

How?

Faith is on your side.

Even if you trust in no one else,

trust in Him...

and me.

After all we serve one God.

[Akbar] This is not only an insult
to a Father and an Emperor

[Akbar] but to God himself.

[Akbar] There is only one punishment
for this blasphemy.

[Akbar] Death itself.

Open.

Lock it.

Prince Salim.

Anarkali.

[Jodha] Show some mercy

He is in love.

Who better to know than you--

Stop defending him!

Stop defending him.

Some lines should never be crossed.

He has defied our rules,

and broken our laws.

He broke into this harem
without ours or Akbar's consent.

Once! He only did it once.

And found Anarkali on his first attempt?

Are you so naive, Jodha?

No, he...

If you knew about
what was going on,

there will be hell to pay.

He may be your son,

but examples must be made.

Salima, please, show him mercy

Don't count on me Jodha.

Not with so much unrest.

What if it was your son?

If it were my own son,

I would make the same judgement.

He didn't commit a crime.

He made a mistake.

One small mistake.

A small mistake?

Sleeping with the emperor's
concubine is an act of treason.

How can you forget the law?

No law is absolute.

Can any law be above
our son my Lord?

Forgive him.

Forgive our son.

[Salim] They should keep
some wine in prisons.

For the comfort of the prisoners.

Wine and women are the reason
we are here Prince.

Do not fear.

I am here for you.

I will get us all out of this.

I promise you that.

Do not make promises
you cannot keep.

My life is not as charmed as yours.

I am not so privileged.

I will die alone.

You have heard about
Durjan and Prince Salim?

It is all the concubines talk
about brother.

And what do they say?

Most blame Salim.

I know who is to be blamed.

That witch put a spell on him.

She should be hung in public view.

That's for the Emperor to decide.

Will Salim be executed?

Maybe.

It is Durjan I am worried about.

You could ask your emperor
for leniency.

It is not my place.

You know Brother...

When I was young I had heard stories
of your bravery and valour.

How you would fight to death
if anyone threatened your family.

Now you silently watch
as your son is tried.

Whatever happened to that man?

I'll tell you what happened...

He traded his dignity
to become a Mughal General.

If you cannot save your son,

you are nothing
but a glorified slave--

I am not a slave!

I am a General...

to an Emperor who can annihilate
your family at his will.

Someone who doesn't care
if we live or die.

Is that who you want to follow?

He will always be my Emperor.

Then you are no longer the brother

I respected.

My Lord.

Uncuff him.

Have you come to beg for your life?

No, not mine.

I have come to ask you
to free Anarkali and Durjan

They are not at fault.

So...

now you pass judgements too.

Only emperors can pass judgement.

If we take that away,

what will they be left with?

I come with a request.

Durjan betrayed you
for the love of his cousin.

I broke the code of the harem,

for the love of Anarkali--

It's not love...

It's madness.

And Anarkali?

You denied her love for so long.

If anyone is to blame,

it is you.

Don't forget
who you are speaking to?

Its time my Emperor,

for you to wake up
and see the truth.

For how long will you hide?

You are capable of nothing
more than bloodshed, my Emperor.

I would expect no better
from a man who keeps women like slaves.

My Emperor...

Why are your hands shaking?

Aren't you the creator
and preacher of Din-i-Ilahi?

Not another word...

Not another word,

the hands that went up in prayer
for you will now behead you

with my own hands.

Then do it.

If you were as great as you claim,

you will punish me and set them free.

Anarkali never came to me.

I went to her.

Durjan didn't break the door, I did.

I am the only one
here who deserves to die.

I've heard enough of this
lovestruck lover's rants.

Take him away.

Your Highness.

Prince Murad is here.

Let's see,

what the Mughal wants.

If your father wants peace,
why did he send you?

Because I am his son.

Broken quills do not create history.

I haven't come here to argue.

You know Akbar's demands.

If you do not meet them,

I will use the full
might of the Mughal army

I expect nothing less.

Which is why I am already
digging your graves.

I will entomb you alive
in this coffin.

You can make all the noise you want.

Your father wouldn't
want to see you,

resting in this coffin
at such a young age.

So

tell him...

Forget about Mewar.

Mewar belongs to us.

And we never share what's ours.

Those who dig ditches for others,

usually end up in them.

I will relay your
position to my Father,

but I doubt he will be happy.

Monsters are never satisfied.

They are always hungry.

This is how you chose
to seek revenge?

Love is not a weapon
to seek revenge my Emperor.

Your son gave me respect.

I was not some caged animal for him

whom he could stroke
whenever he saw fit.

I never wished to keep you caged,
Anarkali.

But I had no choice.

So you punished me for your sins.

And Daniyal?

I thought If I held him
just out of reach,

eventually it would lead you to me.

I apologise Anarkali.

It's too late to apologise My Emperor.

Can you hear those birds sing?

Yes.

They are beautiful.

Their songs silence
the screams of children.

The unwanted baby girls
are drugged and left in the trees.

Yes.

I have heard the stories.

You find their songs beautiful,

I only hear death.

Sometimes I wish I had
been one of those babies.

You cannot mean that Anarkali.

At least their pain is brief...

What you have inflicted
on me will last a lifetime.

You remind me of those birds.

You say beautiful things,

but all it does is hide
how barbaric you truly are.

My Lord, you could
do something unprecedented.

You could change the law.
You could pardon all three.

Badayuni and the clerics
will consider it a sign of weakness.

And if you don't,

they will consider themselves
the true rulers of this empire.

Either way you cannot win their favour.

So you might as well,

change the law and history instead.

Now...

For better or for worse,

The decision will be taken.

The crown king of Hindustan,

Emperor Jalal-ud-din Muhammad Akbar,

is arriving in the court.

Mirza Nur-ud-din Beig
Muhammad Khan Salim,

Durjan Singh

and Anarkali Sharif un-Nissa.

You are being tried
in this court for adultery,

treason, and blasphemy.

How do you plead?

There is no need for formalities.

I have already made my decision.

Very well Emperor Akbar.

What is your verdict?

They are all guilty.

And your sentence?

For Salim.

exile.

Glory to God.

For Durjan Singh,

death by hanging.

- But father-
- Silence!

And for Anarkali.

For your crime,

you shall be entombed alive
in the palace walls.

I am concerned about Daniyal.

He may grow to resent his father.

And then we would
be left with Murad.

And he is beyond anyone's control.

Fetch him.

Let us discuss the matter.

Do so without me.

I have several unanswered
questions on my mind.

I must speak with Salim.

Wait.

I must speak to Salim first.

You cannot begin
to imagine my condition.

I am his wife.

I have a right to him first.

Be mindful of who you question
about rights.

And you are one of Salim's many wives.

Never forget your place Princess.

That's the first law of the harem.

Salim may have other wives.

I am the only wife
who has given Salim a child.

And you don't forget that.

Sahib. Sahib.

Someone get some water.

Here. Drink this.

Slow down.

I won't.

How much longer?

Patience, Prince Murad.

Little patience.

Your father wishes
for you to pursue peace.

My father wishes for me
to rot in this shit hole

whilst he coddles my brothers.

One should stay away
from unnecessary rivalry or conceit.

A kind emperor counts others
more significant than himself.

Save your lectures.

There is no place for kindness here.

Kind people often end up dead.

Still, war is not the way.

If you know better,

then why don't you negotiate with them.

- Why are you hiding here?
- I am not hiding.

What your father wants is...

All I ever hear about
is what my father wants.

What about what I want?

What do you want?

To be treated like an equal

Despite hearsay,
the emperor is still only a man.

He is not always right.

And this is...

one of those times.

My heart bleeds for you all.

Will your words stop me
from being entombed?

Then they are meaningless.

Are you afraid?

I was dead a long time ago,

so what's to be afraid of.

What if renouncing
your love for Salim

would save your life?

I would sooner die.

Daniyal?

You wished to see me.

Yes.

Come, sit with us.

You must be hungry.

Have some food.

- Anything.
- I am fine.

The Prince said he is fine.

Daniyal.

We are aware of how hard these
last few days have been for you.

We are very sorry

Your brother will be punished
for his crimes.

Yes son.

The Emperor has disowned him.

He is left with nothing.

Including his right to the throne.

Do you understand what this means?

It means you will likely
be next in line.

Not Murad?

Though he is older

He is not ready and never will be.

We believe

you have all the qualities
of a great emperor.

Like your father.

I can't believe you say that?

Why?

You want me to be like my Father?

A man who denied me my Mother?

A man who is so wrapped up
in his own world,

that he cannot even ask how
I feel after doing so?

Your father loves you very much.

He is an infidel!

No need to call him my father.

He lied to me since the day
I was born.

That liar...

only cares about himself.

Daniyal!

Even if I become the emperor,
I will never be like him.

Daniyal, don't use
such words for your father.

We realise you are upset.

But your father had his reasons.

- Trust us-
- Trust you?

My mother spent a lifetime in a cell,
but none of you ever whispered a word.

Why should I trust any of you?

Allah may forgive you but I cannot.

The day my father dies will
be the day I tear this harem down.

Daniyal. Daniyal.

I am sorry Father,

I have let you down.

Don't apologise.

You have earned my respect.

I helped Prince Salim

to break into the harem.

Disobeyed the emperor.

Insulted your honour.

You did not abandon your prince.

You have done your duty.

You should be proud.

Father...

I don't want to die.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid my son.

When the time comes.

You will not be alone.

No.

Your father has allowed
you these hours, to organize your affairs

not to sit around stoned.

Think about your wife and child.

Spend some time with them.

What's the point?

Nothing matters anymore.

Maybe not to you,

but to them it does.

You and your Father
are one and the same.

You are both stubborn.

and emotional.

That is where you are wrong.

My emotions don't crush others.

I care about them.

He does too.

In his own way.

Talk to him,

and make him see what you see.

That might save me

but would it save her?

Or Durjan for that matter?

That decision has already been made.

Then you have my answer.

Do not lose everything
over a concubine-

She is not just a concubine.

She is not just a concubine.

She is much more.

I wish you could see that.

Then be careful my love,

wherever you go.

Who knows when we meet again.

Do not worry, Sahib Jamal.

It will pass.

I feel like I am dying.

The pain is inevitable,

harvesting the seed
of the great Salim.

Goes for both.

You too?

Our husband is a very virile man.

Yes. He is.

Luckily, Jagat Gosain
has been spared the sickness.

Do not feel slighted sister.

I am sure it will come.

Actually, I still have a remedy,

that I used during my pregnancy,

it helped to quell the nausea.

Would you like it?

Of course.

Of course.

Us wives must stick together...

Be right back.

Thank you Man Bai.

No need to thank me.

Be right back

What is wrong with her?

Why?

- What happened?
- She seems different.

Why do you feel so?

Let's try her remedy...

You whores.

You will sire Salim's children.

I will kill you both.

Move.

Bitch.

Salim is mine.

Help me.

Save me.

Bitch.

I will kill you.

Salim will not come

Man Bai, what are you doing?

Salim.

Tell them that you only love me.

They were forced on you.

Be that may,

you have no right to toy
with their lives.

They just want your child
to meet their own gains.

Their marriages are a sham.

All marriages are for allegiance.

But not ours

Especially yours and mine.

But what of our son...

Our beautiful boy...

We no longer have a son.

He is the Emperors.

Salim! Please do not say that.

I will die.

We can bring him up together.

I could never be the
father he deserves Man Bai.

Don't say that Salim.

Don't say that Salim.

Prince Salim

What is your business?

I intend to see Durjan and Anarkali.

Not without a royal order.

General, I am a Prince.

Do not play politics with me.

You are a Prince in exile.

You have no authority here.

Man Singh.

Do not make me move you
from my path.

Don't even try.

You are not that privileged anymore.

I will end you right now.

I know you blame me for Durjan

but I am not the enemy.

I love him,

more than my real brothers,
more than my father even...

More than Anarkali?

Don't try my patience.

Yes.

The Gods have spoken
where my father would not.

Prince Murad what is this?

A sign from God.

We will attack.

Your father clearly said that...

My father is a delusional fool

who has been abandoned by his Gods.

Prince Murad, enough.

The Bible states,

"Anyone who curses his parents

shall surely be put to death,"

"his blood is upon him."

Understand.

You threaten me?

No, my Lord, I--

Listen carefully...

We will seize Mewar.

and those who oppose me

Or dare to speak against me,

can suffer the same fate.

So who's against me?
