Prayer

I drink...

to my father's good health.

Abul Fazl.

Prince Murad.

Have this.

Pardon my intrusion,

but I've received some information you may find interesting

Praying for our father?

Greetings.

Care to join us?

No. Thank you.

My messages never get heard.

I'll save my prayers for the judgment day.

What's troubling you then?

The attempted assassination on our father.

What if Man Singh is right?

What if he was poisoned by someone he trusts?

If I were to guess I'd say it was Murad.

We both know how quick tempered he is

and you saw how he reacted in Kabul.

But it's wrong to accuse one of our own without evidence.

I have my beliefs.

Beliefs can blind a man quicker than a hot sword.

Daniyal!

Come out.

Where are you hiding?

Daniyal!

- Murad. - Scoundrel.

You snake.

It was you who poisoned our Father.

You used the cannabis from the gardens.

Brother, Cannabis makes for a very good aphrodisiac

when used right

What do you think?

I was born yesterday?

You're up to dirty tricks feigning impotency.

I won't fall for it.

Stay away from him.

Vivaan.

Vivaan, get up!

Water.

Don't cry, brother.

These are the perks of being a prince.

No sooner a toy is broken

you get another one!

- Daniyal, stop! - Did I hit a raw nerve?

I have never seen you this angry.

Not over your family

or friends.

And certainly not over women.

Stop it Murad.

Killing the likes of you

will be mercy killing.

Wasn't there enough bloodshed in Kabul

for you to spill more blood?

So you side with the faggot.

I side with no one Murad.

You better mind your manners.

Mind my manners?

While speaking to you cowards?

Not only would you poison our father,

Murad...

You'll gladly team up against me as well!

Everyone here knows

the only man here capable of killing his own is you.

Let me start with you then!

You are drunk.

Go to your chamber. We shall resolve this in the morning.

Do not think this is over.

Accuse me again,

and I'll destroy you.

Let's go.

Pardon my intrusion.

The emperor has sent for the three of you.

May the almighty bless you with a long life.

We prayed incessantly for your life.

Our prayers were finally answered.

I am thankful to all of you.

Thank Allah!

My prayers have been answered!

With so many prayers offered for me

they were bound to be answered.

As of now

I'm worried about the future.

Any advice?

Rumours of your death left the kingdom in turmoil.

If it weren't for your eldest son,

your second son would've killed his younger brother.

This turmoil shall end now.

The perpetrator has been found.

Is he alive?

- No. - Who was it?

A woman.

A concubine.

Do you think she did it of her own free will?

There were no signs of others being involved.

Perhaps

the evidence was surpassed.

If that's what you think, so be it.

We are yet to question many people.

So let's start with you.

If I lacked faith in any of you,

I wouldn't have disclosed this news to you.

I have decided,

my sons will stay apart from each other.

Staying apart

will keep them safe and curb their aggressive outbursts.

The first one to go is Salim

who has spent a better part of his life romancing concubines.

Now

it's time he gets married.

Man Singh?

Your sister has come of age.

Agreed.

Your majesty...

Any objection Man Singh?

Objection?

No your majesty.

I consider this my great fortune.

That is a beautiful flower, my lady.

Isn't it?

I found it as a child,

it was the biggest in the gardens.

I plucked it and kept it in this book.

Deciding that I would give it to the man I marry.

I am sure he will appreciate the sentiment.

Me too.

Did they confess to their crime?

Their deaths were a statement.

For who?

Those who oppose the Emperor.

Prince Murad,

Your father wants you to accompany me back to Mewar.

Another war?

No.

For peace.

Prince Murad,

it's time you learn

that royal disputes can also be settled through dialogue

without wielding swords.

This is from Abul Fazl.

It explains how your father expects you to act in Mewar.

High expectations!

Prince Murad,

your father cares about you.

That is all.

Giyaz Beg has sent word from Lahore.

Rebellion is on the rise.

Your father wants you to go there and reclaim our lands.

Me?

You are surely mistaken.

I am not mistaken, your highness.

This is the emperor's decision.

Why would he send me to war?

I wasn't the one who poisoned him.

Look at the positives.

You can gain soldiers for your own army.

You can make new allies.

It's not a bad bargain.

Alright.

This is better than marrying perforce.

Poor Brother Salim!

We first have to convey the message

to our brethren in Bengal.

I'd rather you drink than smoke that pipe.

At least these intoxicants understand how I feel.

Why are you getting emotional?

I am in love.

With who?

Salim.

Marriages among royal families

stand for political alliances

not love.

We have to lead by example

to uphold communal harmony.

You were born out of

one such alliance.

Your Mother speaks the truth.

This is why I created Din-i-ilahi...

so it all may come together

under one rule.

And from what I hear.

Man Singh's sister is a rare beauty.

You are very lucky to have her.

Then why do I not feel that way?

You will.

Give it some time.

If not for yourself,

do it for me.

Yes.

O' Allah, grant this admirer's marriage with your grace.

Amen

Bless this couple to lead a virtuous life.

Amen.

Do you accept Man Bai as your wife?

I do.

Do you approve of this marriage?

I do.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations Prince Salim.

Thank you.

I am very lucky.

Hope you won't

let that flower wilt.

I have no time to play gardener.

Then you are closing your eyes and ears

on a very valuable lesson.

There is nothing to be learnt

from sending Daniyal to war

or tying me down.

Daniyal is more likely to

trip on his own sword than stake an enemy.

That I know for sure.

He must learn strength

like Prince Murad

must learn mercy

and you

to take on responsibility.

There are other ways to learn responsibility

Bravo!

Beautiful!

Where's my drink?

Is there nobody to serve me?

Calm down, Shah Salim.

- Someone will... - Shut up.

How do I quench my thirst?

It leaves me restless.

Bring.

He looks well for a man who just spat in death's face.

Despite the ruse,

someone did try to poison him.

If I had known he considered me such an embarrassment

I may have done it myself.

Did you read the scroll?

That's a sheer waste of time.

If you truly want better favor with him,

I can be of help.

I have heard a rumor regarding the whereabouts of Mirza Hakim.

My informers are at it.

If you were to capture him

Why capture?

I would rather kill him.

Politics is akin to a game of chess.

You have to watch every step you take.

Focus on fortifying your position first.

Then use your pawns... horses

to kill whoever you like.

Both the games

demand great patience.

Was your mother

one of the queens?

No.

She was a concubine.

Concubine?

What do you know about her.

Very little.

She died at childbirth.

But

I have this keepsake.

This is all I have of her.

This picture.

It is fading

but not as much as my Father's memory

She's beautiful.

- Thank you. - Daniyal.

Excuse me.

Yes father

Afraid of leaving for Lahore?

All I fear is that

this is an act of vengeance on your part.

No point teaching a young man a lesson.

I can see

you are pure at heart,

and a nice person is the first one

to go down on a battlefield.

You lack experience.

To rule over the Mughal empire,

you'll have to be strong

in and out.

Yes father.

I do not know what makes me happier.

That my aunt is now a princess

or that she married

my best friend.

Man,

this is a matter of great honour.

Dear sister,

I am very proud of you.

I won't let you down brother.

What's going on here?

I must say Man Bai

is truly beautiful.

May I have...

If I could have your attention for a moment

Please stop for a while.

A toast...

to my beautiful wife,

Man Bai.

And secondly,

for my dear father,

a great man

and an even greater Emperor!!

My dear father!

Father,

I love you,

your kingdom

and your legacy even more.

More than my own happiness in fact

and that of my pretty wife.

Hence,

on this auspicious occasion of my marriage

I'd like to present you

with a gift, if you permit.

I have your permission!

To oversee the Lahore campaign,

I shall accompany

Daniyal, father.

It will be my responsibility to not only ensure another victory

but to ensure I bring back your little boy

and my younger brother.

I shall go.

And that's a promise.

Thus,

praise be to Emperor Akbar!

Brother...

Careful, brother.

Brother...

He's the greatest.

Prince Salim,

I want to show you something

I have been holding onto since I was a young girl.

Put it on.

Did you send message to your people,

about Mirza Hakim?

That very night.

And

you are aware of Pratap's uprising.

Of course but, despite my words, his rebellion was inevitable.

He's wanted his land back for years

and now he has the perfect opportunity to strike.

Perpetrators should have been punished, not them.

Yes I cannot help but feel

that this story is not over yet.

No?

It pains me to say this

but I cannot rule out

one of my children as the real assassin.

Murad?

He is a fighter, not a thinker.

Killing me would only weaken Daniyal's position against the others.

What are you implying?

You cannot mean Salim?

He has many poor qualities

but he is not power hungry enough to kill for the throne.

Maybe the throne is not what he is after.

Usually,

it takes a few weeks before men can no longer stand their wife.

If you want to make decisions to maintain your legacy then so be it.

I will make decisions for mine.

Are you running away?

- From who? - Me.

You never showed remorse for your dead concubine?

Why would I?

She tried to kill you.

What is the truth Salim?

Were you involved...

in everything that transpired.

Prince Daniyal

You left this behind.

Thank you Vivaan.

This painting means more to me than every jewel in the land.

I pray she watches over you.
