Father.

Did you secure peace with Pratap?

Not yet father.

Knew it.

Instead of following my instructions, you were out hunting.

It wasn't just any hunt.

I made a most interesting catch.

Bring forth.

With your permission.

I shall kill him for you father.

Release him.

Welcome...

Brother.

Brother.

Father.

Mirza Hakim is not some common thief to receive such treatment.

He is my brother.

My very own blood.

Our blood you say?

He has dishonoured us all!

Have I?

You want to talk dishonour!

After capturing us like a coward,

he murdered my son in cold blood.

Coward.

Coward!

You are a coward.

Is it true?

Is it true?

How dare you execute

a member of the household without my approval.

This is not the way of the Mughals.

Hakim!

I was wrong to spare you and your son!

But not again!

If you defy your emperor again,

I'll be forced to react.

Are we interrupting?

Get out of my sight.

Let's go Man Singh.

I need Man Singh here.

This time Father Monserrate can accompany you...

You still have much to learn from him.

Careful brother.

How nice to see you nephews.

Lock him in the cells until I decide what to do with him.

Giyas Beg.

So glad to see you my friend.

- Greetings Emperor. - Bless you.

I apologise you had to see this family feud.

Not at all.

It is good to see that

you still rule with an iron fist.

I am so glad you made it out of Lahore alive.

You have Salim to thank for that.

You are giving credit to the wrong person.

It was Daniyal's strategy and prowess that won the day.

Really?

Not really...

You should have seen him in action, father.

Like a tiger that has tasted blood.

Well done my young warrior.

You are my blood after all.

As long as I make you proud father.

Proud?

I am so impressed by your achievement in Lahore.

I bestow upon you the honour of receiving the Lal Dera!

Lal Dera

Father

This is surely a worthy gift.

And what of Salim?

He deserves something.

His reward is waiting for him in the harem.

Man Bai gave birth to a beautiful boy.

Salim! Father!

The mother and son await your arrival.

Go on.

What are you waiting for?

Nothing. Thank you Father.

Giyas Beg.

You arrived at the right time.

The kingdom has us stretched to our limits,

And my nine jewels are now only five.

I want you to join my inner circle of advisors in Diwan-E-Khas.

Help me run this empire.

My Lord it will be an honour.

I will try my best to meet your expectations.

It is what I expected from you.

Salim.

Finally.

You have returned!

Come see your offspring.

Khusrav, your father is back.

This is your first meeting with him.

Your son is restless to meet you.

His name is Khusrav

The future emperor of the Mughal kingdom.

Looks just like you, doesn't he?

He does have a glow on his face.

Isn't it?

Here.

Spend some time with your family.

We will excuse ourselves.

- Khusrav. - Come Ruqaiya.

Father will see you now.

Salim.

Khusrav.

He is so cute.

- Salim. - Man Bai!

There is something I need to take care of.

- I will be back soon. - But Khusrav...

Take a look.

Salim.

Salim.

Khusrav.

Anarkali.

Salim.

Salim.

Anarkali.

All these days, I stayed away.

All I could think about was you.

Me too.

I cannot wait any longer, Anarkali.

I don't have the key.

Anarkali.

Be it day or night,

All I could think about is you.

Me too.

Salim.

I have something to tell you.

My Lord.

Where is Salim?

Busy playing with his son.

- First time... - He is not there!

Wait.

My Lord.

You should have sent word.

Maybe I shouldn't have shown up like this unannounced.

But...

I just realised that,

for nursing me back to health after the Kabul incident,

I never did show any gratitude.

No need to thank me.

Though perhaps, you would have preferred me to die.

I do not wish harm upon you.

So you genuinely care for me.

I just did my duty.

That's it.

Still...

Is there anything I can give you

in return for your kindness.

Better to lose a little freedom than have no life at all.

Is it?

Humans must show gratitude for every moment.

And never forget...

who you belong to.

Today...

you smell different

I am not well.

He may make some poor decisions,

but when he becomes emperor, he will quickly learn.

Sorry Jodha, but Salim is not man enough to rule this kingdom.

He is more man than Murad or Daniyal!

If being an irresponsible, concubine-chasing,

opium addict makes him more of a man, then I agree.

It's not about age.

It's about responsibility,

and Salim has shown that he has none of that.

Making him the emperor, is only going to spell trouble.

I cannot believe that boy...

He has no interest in his son.

- No he... - If not Salim,

then who is going to look after the child?

His mother is in no fit state to.

Lahore was a good battle, unlike Kabul,

but a victory all the same.

Is it true that Daniyal won the day?

What do you think?

He may act like a fool sometimes but deep down,

Salim is a true warrior.

But his behaviour towards my sister is rude.

He is not made for domestic life father.

We all know that.

Try not to think too much of it.

Otherwise, our loyalties could get complicated.

Mixing blood and allegiance is always

a dangerous game.

It is better to keep them apart.

If you say so.

For Salim I want you to arrange,

another wife Birbal.

Make it happen quickly.

Do you believe one is enough?

You do not?

Not for a man of his desires.

Who doesn't see the difference between women and deer.

Pounces on them like a lion.

You are right.

With enough wives,

he won't chase after concubines.

Find him two instead.

And what of Prince Daniyal?

He is yet to be married.

Perhaps a lady in his life would bring out his 'masculine side'.

You are right.

Find one for Daniyal.

A triple wedding...

wonderful.

Birbal.

Birbal...

I wish to raise Khusrav as my son.

Maybe he is the true successor to my throne.

You must bring Khusrav to me from Man Bai.

My Lord.

Taking a child from its mother is inviting her wrath.

Birbal I need you to do this for me.

You are the only man I can trust with such an order.

Attention. Attention.

The eldest son of the Mughal empire,

Prince Nur-ud-din Mohammad Salim,

is to marry Sahib Jamal, daughter of Khwaja Hassan,

and Jagat Gosain of king Udai Singh.

On the occasion,

Emperor Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar's youngest son

Prince Daniyal,

is to marry Janan Begum, daughter of Abdul Rahim Khan e Khana.

You started early today.

There is much to celebrate.

These weddings are a waste of time and money.

Not to mention takes a toll on the body.

I would go easy on the wine.

You're going to have to perform twice tonight.

I'll just imagine they are Anarkali.

It seemed to work last time.

I wish my mother was here.

Please, no more tears.

I have too much to deal with already.

I should be the one that's upset, not you.

Maybe you want this wedding to happen.

Such jealousy.

It doesn't suit you...

How can you be so cold?

Just think of it as a royal order and get over it.

Nothing will change between us.

Are you going to consummate the wedding?

If I do... I'll just shut my eyes and imagine it is you.

No more tears!

These tears are precious to me.

I told you. No more tears!

Prince Salim...

Do you accept this marriage with Jagat Gosain and Sahib Jamal?

I do. I do.

I do.

I do.

Prince Daniyal, do you accept?

I do.

Do you accept this marriage?

I do.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Khusrav. Khusrav.

Leave me.

You bitch.

Khusrav.

Leave me.

Leave me.

Bitch.

I will strangle you.

Leave him.

Bitch.

Khusrav!

Khusrav.

Bitch. Bring him back.

Khusrav!

Khusrav!

Khusrav.

My child.

I curse you all.

Give him back.

Khusrav!

No one knows the secrets of the Mughal empire as well as you Grand Vizier

Well, I have something that may interest you.

A painting of Prince Daniyal's mother.

"More precious to him than all the jewels in the kingdom," he said.

She looks familiar...

Put it on.

"A precious gift for you."

"A painting of my mother for my dear brother."

Durjan.

So soon.

I need your help.

What is wrong? Where are we going?

To see Anarkali.

What about your wives?

You should stop this, Prince Salim.

One last time I swear.

I will explain everything.

My Lord pardon my intrusion,

but you must come with me immediately.

What happened?

I will explain everything, but you must grant me access to the harem.

Anarkali.

Anarkali.

I know who you are.

And I cannot break Daniyal's heart.

This must be the last time we meet.

My Lord...

Grand Vizier Abul Fazl has sent me.

You must come.

It is about your mother.

Let's go.

I tried to tell you but couldn't.

Because your love gave me hope to live.

Some love stories do not have happy endings.

Some love stories should never have begun.

I want to remember this moment forever.
