Prince Daniyal.

Guards.

Our forces are diminished, my Lord.

We must go, in case they have reinforcements.

You lost my brother.

You lost...

Shall I finish him Prince Daniyal?

No!

Not so easy...

Let him suffer.

Like I suffered my entire life.

Death should not come to him easily.

I want it to be as long and painful as possible.

Leave him here to die.

Let the birds feed on him

And of her my lord?

Bury it in the hills so nobody will ever find her.

With love comes pain my brother.

If Akbar really desired peace...

he would not send his brat to further stoke the flames.

It was a test.

To see if the boy could lead.

He failed.

Unfortunately so.

It is a shame.

At one time I considered Akbar a rival but a great one nonetheless.

He is nothing but an old lion that needs to be put out of misery.

May I speak freely?

It is true what you say. Akbar has grown weak.

He talks to the stars whilst his sons fall apart.

And why are you telling me this, Grand Vizier?

Because I grow weary of the drama and I want it to end.

It serves no purpose.

And what can you do that my forces cannot?

Two things. The first is an opening to Murad.

Go on.

And the second and most valuable is the trust that Akbar has in me.

I can tell the story however you wish.

If you want to say Murad attacked first...

There will be no repercussions for you.

Akbar would not send the full might of his forces to slay me?

On the contrary, he will be indebted to you, were you to kill Murad.

Akbar has also grown tired of Murad's brutal ways.

He may even give you Mewar in gratitude.

If an emperor has a snake in his midst like you,

he is surely doomed.

I pity Akbar.

My apologies.. Maharana.

No matter how useless

No father would want his son to die,

at the hands of his enemy,

Killing Murad is like challenging the full might of Akbar.

I cannot risk the lives of countless women and children

for your dirty games.

But the story I would tell-

Could easily change on the road back to Agra.

Whose word will Akbar trust?

Maharana Pratap or his double-crossing Vizier?

I am not a double-crosser.

I am your...

One thing I will say for Murad is that he would come...

for me with honour.

He would not bite my ankle from the bushes like a snake.

And I will offer him the same courtesy.

Whatever you gain from Murad's death, you can gain without me.

You have me mistaken.

No I haven't.

And maybe, if I do kill Murad,

I will remind him first of this conversation.

Now get out of my sight before I rip out your fangs.

Man Bai.

Your brother has found you a place to stay,

away from the harem. You will be safe-

Leave me alone! Have you not done enough for me?

We are only trying to help.

Help?

You took away my baby then you took away Salim!

Some help.

Nobody took away Salim. He chose his destiny.

When Khursav becomes emperor, he will make you pay for this.

You will be reduced to slaves.

You forget yourself. We rule this harem, not you

We can destroy you if we want.

The last person who lived in this room did so for twenty years.

And nobody ever knew about it.

Except for Salim.

And look how that turned out.

Man Bai, we have all been in your shoes.

We have all been hurt.

This life is not a fairytale.

No knight in shining armour will come to your rescue.

All we have is each other.

But what of my baby?

Only Akbar can decide that.

Please brother... make Akbar see sense.

I cannot live without my child.

Brother.

Murad was right. That bastard is too honourable.

So what then? Do we help Murad with his attack?

No. I cannot afford for them to meet again.

This saga must end now.

Yes.

Are the forces ready?

Waiting for orders.

Prince Murad.

It is as bad as you said.

Maharana Pratap will not bend his knee, and he openly disrespects the emperor.

Then it is settled.

Any more discussion is pointless.

We shall ready my troops and attack at once.

Leave it until dusk. Let the darkness be our ally.

Lets attack in the day.

I want to see the colour drain from his face in the day light.

Do not let your urge for blood get in the way of your need for victory.

Focus on that

You have changed your tune

I thought you were against an attack.

I was, until I met Pratap.

And you will explain this to my father?

Do not fear.

When I have finished with my accounts,

he will welcome you back with open arms.

Tonight is Rana's last night.

Father, are you sure it is safe to go hunting during these times?

If Murad was to move on me, he would have done so by now.

And certainly not from the shadows.

Who is it?

Coward.

Show yourself.

Word of what happened cannot reach your father.

Does anyone else know the location?

No one but him, Prince Daniyal.

A loyal soldier.

Your service,

will never be forgotten.

Ironic that you come to me in your time of need?

Who said I was in need?

Your guards should learn how to lower their voices.

By the way,

history has a way of repeating itself, does it not

Are you comparing the trials of my sons to you and me?

Is it not?

Growing up, we were close.

And now,

you are on one side of the prison door...

and I am on the other.

You are to be blamed for it.

I did everything I could to stop it from happening.

And what do you get for loosening the reigns?

You get left holding the baby...

while your women stab you in the back.

Your children rebelled against you,

Allah laughs in your face.

Troubles has beckoned me,

yet it is you who has had to put his arms down.

Otherwise, you didn't stand a chance.

Your sons are the way they are,

but I didn't expect this from a true warrior like you.

Why don't we set aside our differences...

and join forces again?

Like old times.

If there is one thing this ordeal has taught me...

it is never to trust a brother.

Why don't you just put me down?

Because no matter how you are,

you are still my blood and for that,

I cannot take your life.

But don't test my patience.

Have you decided yet?

My mind is not made up.

Is it worth it?

What my Lord?

All this violence and war...

This is human nature.

If we did not fight for the kingdom we would fight for something else.

True.

Have you met your nephew yet?

- Khusrav. - Yes.

- No. - Then come, you must be introduced.

He is asleep.

Be gentle.

He is big!

Of course. He is Salim's. A Rajput!

What is it?

My lord...

I know Salim has betrayed you but...

a child should not be punished for the sins of their parents.

Indeed my lord.

I know Man Bai's behaviour has been unacceptable.

But give her a second chance my Lord.

Having the child will help with her health.

And no one will give it the love she can offer my Lord.

Maybe you are right.

Everyone deserves a second chance.

Forgive me my Lord.

But I cannot let that happen.

For the good of the empire.

She is not in the right mind to look after a future Prince.

My Lord I assure you. She will bring him upright and noble-

Bring him up right?

Only today she threatened me.

If Khusrav ascends the throne,

she will make us concubines.

Is this true?

The child must stay with Ruqaiya.

My Lord...

Kingdom before brood.

Always. My Lord.

Prince Salim.

- Prince Salim. - Prince Salim.

Prince Salim.

Prince Salim.

Help him up.

Prince Murad. You must see!

Maharana Pratap!

To the end of a true bore! May his soul rot in hell!

Amen.

- Amen. - Amen.

Amen.

This is worth a celebration!

Pratap is no more and Akbar's orders have been upheld.

Not yet.

Tomorrow morning we will charge and seize the fort.

Pratap's sons will be easy pickings.

Blood of Timur.

Blood of Timur.

After you.

- Prince Murad. - Hmm?

After everything we have been through.

Especially after everything we have been through.

Blood of Timur.

Blood of Timur.

Blood of Timur.

I feel slighted by fate that I was unable to wet my hands with Prataps blood.

Though it may have been for the best.

It's not important who killed Pratap.

It's important that Pratap is dead.

Blood of Timur.

Blood of Timur.

Are you feeling well?

Just worn from the travel.

I think we should continue this conversation outside.

Of course.

- [Murad] Let the celebration continue. - [Abul Fazl] Let the celebration continue.

Blood of Timur.

The end of all our troubles, without any bloodshed.

If his blood had been on my hands,

it would have raised dozens of questions.

But Maharana Pratap was an ace hunter...

His death at this time can be considered nothing but suspect

I am here for that.

History will repeat what I record.

Just like your demise

will be a tale of a man overcome by his excesses.

Abul Fazl.

I wish you had listened to me.

What is this?

Poison, my Prince. Snakes venom to be precise.

But you drank it too...?

Yes but I also had the antidote.

Rana Pratap was right.

Your father grows old...

his reign will soon be over.

Salim was too much of a liability.

In any case salim was never in this race.

Abul Fazl.

You snake!

We were hopeful of you Prince Murad.

You were brave. You could even lead an army.

But your arrogance, stubbornness...

and ignorance were your downfall.

Daniyal is soft and weak... malleable.

- He will be much easier to control. - Bastard.

Good bye Prince Murad

Father...

Father...

Glory be to Akbar

Glory be to Akbar

Prayer

Prayer

Glory be to Akbar

Prayer

I always thought prince Salim would die of alcohol poisoning.

I always thought Prince Murad would die in battle.

I am sure Emperor Akbar did too...

He does not think it looks suspicious?

Why would he? I told him what I saw.

I know this is a dark day but we cannot fall into despair.

There is still much to do.

- Like what? - Like Daniyal.

If he's not on our side,

our future can be in darkness.

Does your thirst for power never end?

Let us all grieve for just one day

Jodha, I am sorry for your loss but...

No, you are not.

You always wanted salim to be exiled, did you not?

I thought as much.

She is still grieving.

Give her some time.

She will come around.

She had better.

So what is our next move?

We stay true to our husband but we plan ahead.

Plant seeds and make roots now that will grow our allegiances for the future.

Create the empire we always desired.

So you are leaving?

If I stay I will not be true to myself.

If you knew that it would end this way, would you do it again?

I've seen lovers consumed by their passion.

But their love is inspiring.

Salim and Anarkali's love will go down in history.

And I don't want to be on the wrong side when history remembers them.

Goodbye my Lord.

Let's go.

[Badayuni] I must admit, even I was sceptical that...

you could pull off a coup of this magnitude.

[ Abul fazl] Divide and conquer. A tried and tested method.

So what of Salim? Did he die in the wilderness?

It is safe to say that we have seen the last of him.

Let him rot in hell now.

In this race only our horse remains

we now have a secured future

Our horse?

Daniyal... was always our plan, was he not?

Not ours.. he was my plan.

You were part of it, which I am grateful for...

but he will never recognize you as the architect of his success.

That honour belongs solely to me.

You change colours faster than a chameleon.

So says a reptile...

whose plan backfired on him.

Doesn't matter how many colours you change,

the reptile will find him eventually,

This matter is not over yet.

What will you do?

Tell Akbar?

He would have both our heads.

If you are as intelligent as you say,

then the best thing you can do is keep your mouth shut,

and do as you're told.

And maybe, just maybe,

I will ask Daniyal to keep you as prime minister when he takes the throne.

Looks like it's time to finally meet Allah.

No...

Your prayers have been answered.

I have come to set you free.

Head towards the East gate.

The guards have been removed.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Thank you nephew,

if there is any way I can repay you then I will do so,

Actually, there is something I need you to do for me...

Kill Birbal on the way...

Father.

Father Over here.

Careful.

Afrasiyab.

Go on father.

Don't worry about me.

Son, we owe Daniyal.

We must repay him.

You repay his debt.

There is something I must do.

I need you with me.

I cannot lose another son.

Afrasiyab.

Don't worry about me father.

I promise...

I shall return after I've settled this matter with emperor Akbar.

Take care of yourself.

Brother.

Brother.

Brother.

Brother.

Mirza Hakim has escaped my Lord.

Stop. Stop.

Time is never constant my lord it will change.

Not too long now.

[Mirza Hakim] So my brother fired you too.

Hakim?

Hakim.

- You wanted to see me? - Yes.

I realise...

I have not treated you well off late.

You did what you thought was right.

I should have told you the truth long ago.

No man should ever have to kill his own mother.

She betrayed you.

So did the Eunuch.

So did Salim...

So did Birbal.

You knew?

I had my suspicions.

It is too late to punish him... he has already left.

He will pay for his actions...

Sooner or later.

This world is not simple.

Every person in this world...

finds themselves at a crossroad,

where he's unable to choose a path to tread on.

True emperors...

find the correct path.

You have shown yourself to be worthy of that title.

You have shown strength of character.

Unlike Salim the whore monger,

and Murad the war monger.

I have high hopes for you son.

- Thank you. - It is I who should be thanking you.

Now let us enjoy the peace whilst it lasts.

Sure.

I'll ask for your leave.

What the Emperor had to face is not a fate I would wish upon my worst enemy.

Losing two sons in a such short time.

But Father, the Emperor exiled Salim away...

He did not lose him.

Be careful what you say Mehrunissa.

Why would an honourable man...

like Salim rebel without a reason?

My dear when you get older,

you will realize that life is complicated.

Even good men can go down the wrong path.

Are you not even curious as to what really happened?

My loyalty lies with Emperor Akbar.

I accept his decisions without any conditions.

What is this?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Disperse.

I know your marriage to my sons,

was brief and turbulent.

And also that you two are worried about your future.

But I assure you,

you need not worry about it.

You two are free to continue living in this palace.

Because you two are carrying Mughal blood.

Thank you my Lord.

But I have a condition.

Your husband is a traitor,

and I don't want that to affect his son.

So know this from now they are mine.

Wise decision.

What if Salim returns?

If he does...

He will return as the enemy of the empire.

[Daniyal] Bury her in the hills.

[Daniyal] Where no one can find her?

[Salim] Mahabat Khan

It has been done Prince Salim.

What next?

First, we will scour these lands...

Every hill, every valley,

until we find Anarkali's remains.

Then we will...

give her the burial...

she deserves.

And after that?

Revenge.
