Sire, the walls of Samarkand
seem to be impregnable.

Eventually, the city will bow down
to our determination.

Continue with the shelling.

-But, sire--
-I came here to conquer Samarkand.

And I won't leave
until it's done.

My grandmother says that
Samarkand belongs to me.

And my grandmother is never wrong.

Every soldier here will die
a thousand deaths at your command.

But they would be doing so
at my behest

and not their own free will.

No one here agrees
with my decision.

This army conquered Bhira
and Bajaur under your leadership.

Then why wouldn't they agree
with your decision?

Because attacking Samarkand
as a teenager was childish.

But attacking Hindustan now
will be foolish.

Today I've underestimated
the might of Ibrahim Lodhi,

like years ago I had underestimated
the ruthlessness of Shaibani Khan.

Umar Shaikh left
without meeting me.

And now... Babur too.

I travelled a great distance
to meet them.

The people of Ferghana
are poor hosts.

Anyway, now that I am here,

I'll teach you all about governance
and hospitality.

Please, not my son!

I am a mere concubine of the King!

And my son, Jibran,

he is a half-blood.

Because he's mine.

He's a bastard.

Please spare us

and, in exchange, we can help you.

Qambar Ali,
I came to Ferghana on your advice.

So, as my advisor, advise me.

Can this concubine be of any use
to us?

Yes.

She informed us
about Babur's coronation.

All these years,
your loyalty was just a pretence.

You betrayed Ferghana;
you betrayed your King.

You... you betrayed me!

And you...

What more can be expected
of a mistress.

If only you had shown some respect
to this mistress.

-You're not worthy of--
-Enough!

You've had respect and a say in
everything because of your son-in-law.

But now he's dead and
so is your respect in the court--

I can't stand disrespect
towards women and the elderly.

And I can't stand
interruptions either.

You were saying?

I have said what I had to.

May I continue then?

If it wasn't for royal decree,
there would've been less bloodshed.

But a rule is a rule.

"Only the king's flesh and blood
shall ascend the throne after him."

What choice do I have?

As long as the royal flesh
and blood lives,

the throne can never be mine.

There's another way!

You can legally ascend the throne
without having to kill anyone.

According to the royal tradition,

anyone with the slightest handicap
cannot be king.

The slightest handicap.

Thank you.

Are you sure Shaibani Khan
has left Samarkand?

Yes.

Where has he gone?

I don't know that,
but he's definitely gone.

After declaring Vizier Abu Baksh
as his administrator.

And that traitor has imprisoned
all our loyalists.

King Babur had sent a message
to your father seeking his help.

Your father didn't send any answer.

So, how come he sent you?

This is my personal decision,
not my father's.

Does uncle agree
with this decision?

Actually...

Actually, Abu Baksh's daughter,
Nishqa...

-We both--
-I give you my word.

As soon as
Abu Baksh is out of our way,

you and Nishqa will be married.

But after seeing her father defeated,
will she--

Don't worry.

She will help us.

Against her father?

Why?

For the throne of Samarkand.

The throne which will be yours
after the wedding.

So, it's neither
for our brotherhood nor love.

You're only helping me
for the throne.

I... accept.

Sire, only you have the right
to the throne of Samarkand.

Then it should be my right
to give it away too, Wazir Khan.

What about you?

Back in Ferghana,
my father showed me a dream of Hindustan.

And till I make
his dream come true,

I'll stay in Ferghana.

I shall announce Mahmud
as the caretaker king of Samarkand.

And he shall reign
under my leadership.

Ask him. Does he accept my terms?

I accept.

Stop!

My King, he's a thief.

What did he steal?

We caught him
in the artillery tent.

Maybe that's what he was stealing.

What did you steal?

What is your name?

Qasim Saiduddin.

Common people like me
are dying of starvation

because of your siege.

Abu Baksh is busy filling up
the royal granaries.

If we ask for food,
our tongues get ripped off.

If we even look at
the royal granary,

his soldiers gouge our eyes out.

The city is filled with
more corpses than living people.

And yet Abu Baksh feels no mercy.

I tried to get into
the royal granary but failed.

How did you get out of the city?

There is no way in or out
of Samarkand right now.

He's lying, sire.

He's just
some ordinary mountain dweller.

You're ordinary!

You one-eyed soldier!

Enough!

Just answer my question.

On the east gate,
there's a small hole on the rampart,

high up on the wall.

That's how I got out.

Can my soldiers sneak in with you?

There won't be time.

I must get in before
the change of guard.

Besides, the crack won't be able
to withstand the weight of so many people.

I'll go with him, Wazir.

No, my King,
I cannot let you take this risk.

I won't be alone.
Mahmud will go with me.

What will I get
in exchange for this help?

For now, you can keep this.

And when I succeed,
you can ask for anything you want.

Stop!

It is forbidden to come
to this part of the fort.

Don't know?

We... We were just...

He dared me to come here.

Come with me.

Please let us go.
It will never happen again.

If my mother finds out,
she will kill me.

No!

You killed him for no reason!

You don't need a reason
to kill them.

Abu Baksh's soldiers
deserve this fate.

Let's go.

Nishqa's chambers are in
the north wing of the palace.

Take us there.

-Right there?
-Yes.

We should try getting in
through the roof.

This is my fight now.

Thank you.

I owe you.

Come. Let's go.

-Mahmud!
-Don't be scared.

He's not our enemy. He's my cousin.

Zahir ud-Din Babur.

And Babur is going to help us.

Nishqa, I want to hear from you.

Mahmud...

Will you betray your father
for the throne?

Not everyone is lucky
to have a father like yours.

He's my father.

I ought to respect him.

But, unfortunately,
my conscience doesn't allow it.

You must free Baisanghar first.

Samarkand's commander-in-chief.

Father has him imprisoned
in the dungeon.

Every soldier in Samarkand would
give their lives for Baisanghar.

And he's also loyal to your family.

If he's on your side,

then the entire army of
Samarkand will be on your side.

King Babur...

Only a true Mirza king

has the strength
to lift the Alamgir sword.

I am sorry to hear
about your father.

I've been told that

you are loyal to my family.

My army is waiting
outside the gates of Samarkand.

Open the gates.

Long live King Babur!

Long live King Babur!

Long live King Babur!

Long live King Babur.

-Long live...
-King Babur!

-Long live...
-King Babur!

-Long live...
-King Babur!

-Long live...
-King Babur!

-Long live...
-King Babur!

A vizier has no place
in the king's chamber.

Lock him up in the dungeon.

Wait.

Only the Mirzas have the right
to wear this ancestral ring.

Forget your right
and start praying, Babur,

because your family has been exposed
to the threat called Shaibani.

You know what he did with
the princes of Samarkand, right?

Imagine what will he do to
the princess of Ferghana, Khanzada--

Thank you for accepting my loyalty.

I had something important
to discuss with you.

My Lord.

I have nothing to hide.

No ruse, no dagger.

Just a wish.

Flesh is such an amazing thing.

Be it human or animal,

it cuts like butter
under my dagger.

So, tell me what your wish is.

If it pleases you,

my Jibran...

can rule Ferghana
under your leadership.

As your slave.

He's a local,

so the people of Ferghana
will accept him without demur.

I have full faith in Jibran.

And in you as well.

Your mother's wish
or proposition...

is interesting.

Anyway...

you want me
to give up the throne

for your desire?

Your body is precious.

Don't waste it on me.

It's of no value to me.

The things I value
are strength and intelligence.

I leave for an attack tomorrow.

If Jibran proves himself
by the time I come back,

then he shall be crowned.

Otherwise, I shall ascend
the throne of Ferghana.

You must attend my coronation.

Send a message to Shaibani.

He can take whatever he wants,

Ferghana or Samarkand.

I only want
the safety of my family.

But you promised
to give Samarkand to me.

Nothing is above my family!

Neither Samarkand nor a promise.

Wazir Khan, send the message.

Yes, my King.

I've heard
that Babur sent a message,

and you were trying to hide it
from me.

Don't blame him.

Everyone's loyalties
are for sale in Ferghana.

Get to the point.

Babur has agreed to forego Ferghana
in exchange for his family.

Mother, you must deliver
this message to Shaibani Khan.

He shall reward us handsomely.

You tell us what we should do.

What were you going to do?

This is the best opportunity to prove
one's intelligence and strength.

I was going to sort it out
before Shaibani Khan returned.

Forever rid Ferghana of Babur
and his family.

No.

I shall deliver this message.

By forever removing Babur
from Ferghana,

Jibran will win the throne...

and Shaibani's trust.

Prepare for Jibran's coronation.

Exactly what I wanted.

How dare you summon us!

Show some respect.

You should be grateful to me.

I am sending all of you
safe and sound to Samarkand.

Babur is waiting for you.

And what price has Babur paid
for this little favour?

Ferghana.

I won't go anywhere.

Grandmother?

How could you let Ferghana go
so easily?

Nothing is more valuable to me
than you.

Not even Ferghana.

At least Samarkand is yours.

Babur agreed to forego Ferghana
in exchange for his family.

So, with Jibran's help,

I've freed Ferghana from the reign
of Babur and his family forever.

This is what I wanted.

You made my job a lot easier.

I don't like bloodshed.

One should take lessons from you,

on how to achieve one's goal
without shedding blood.

My Lord,

I feel it's not right

to leave the throne vacant
for so long.

I also feel that
now you'll go to Samarkand

and finish Babur
once and for all.

-Qambar Ali.
-My Lord.

Prepare for Jibran's coronation.

What do you mean
Babur's coronation?

Lower your voice and your eyes.

The blood of the Mirzas
runs through Babur's veins.

Who else could be more entitled
to the throne of Samarkand?

But, Queen Mother, Babur is in Samarkand
because of Nishqa's help.

I am sure Babur will reward Nishqa
fairly for her services.

But, Queen Mother...

Forgive me insolence...

but Babur had promised Mahmud
Samarkand's throne.

Consider it a promise made
in the heat of the moment.

The truth is
Babur is born to be a king.

There is no other truth than this.

You're right, Queen Mother.

We shouldn't attach ourselves
to what was said in the past.

Consider his promise forgotten.

We were and will always
remain loyal to Babur.

Wonderful.

Those who understand
the need of the hour

are always taken care of
in their hour of need.

This magnificent tomb
is your inheritance.

It's your responsibility
to maintain its glory.

Always give it
the justice it deserves.

And what about the injustice
I did with Mahmud and Nishqa?

I wouldn't be here without them.

Grandmother's single decision--

These decisions were made long ago,
my King.

You have not chosen Samarkand.

Samarkand has chosen you.

Your being here
isn't a coincidence.

Your grandmother and all of us
believe that this is your destiny.

And no one has the strength
to fight destiny.

You must embrace it,

and do justice to it.

Did you enjoy the show?

Why didn't you laugh?

I am bored of Ferghana.

Now I only wish to meet Babur.

Babur, O Babur...

I eagerly wait for time to race...

for soon we'll be face to face.
